Adjustment, listening, communication. These are lessons that embody the meaning of both life and jazz, renowned trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and his Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra expressed Friday. “Jazz has a meaning. It’s American music, and it represents our democratic way of governing and our way of life,” said Mr. Marsalis, pointing to form, expression and a willingness to work together as themes in both life and jazz. “Jazz is important because it can help us to better understand how our way of life is put together and how we can maintain and even improve it,” he said. Mr. Marsalis and members of his band took turns explaining the intricacies of jazz and its relatability, speaking to more than 2,400 elementary and secondary education students in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties via live stream. While those students watched on their computers, the presentation was given to UCSB “The History of Jazz” students visiting The Granada Friday morning. The program was coordinated by UCSB Arts & Lectures. Mr. Marsalis deftly guided the audience and his band through the various forms of jazz, highlighting the parallels of freedom, responsibility, and adaptedness in music and life. Mr. Marsalis, a New Orleans native, said often the “most elusive” point of jazz is balance from honest and constructive communication. By working together Friday, the musicians showed how jazz could Please see JAZZ on A4

With unusual and controversial lighting of the Olympic flame, the 2022 Winter Olympics are officially underway in Beijing. The cauldron, an unusually small design set within a giant snowflake, was ignited by Chinese skiers Dinigeer Yilamujiang and Zhao Jiawen, who shared a torch to light the Olympic flame in a nod to gender equality. More controversially, Yilamujiang was identified by Chinese state media as a member of the Uyghur community, a move identified by numerous Western media sources as an intentional rebuke of the U.S. and other

Western nations for condemning China’s treatment of that majority Muslim community as “genocide.” Human rights abuses against the Uyghurs have resulted in controversy surrounding China acting as the hosting nation for this year’s Olympics, leading President Joe Biden and other western leaders to boycott the Beijing Olympics as an act of protest. However, President Vladimir Putin, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Kahn and the leaders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) attended.

enthusiastically expressed their support of China. Friday’s events included alpine skiing, curling, ice hockey, figure skating, luge and ski jumping. Aside from the opening ceremonies, the day’s highlights included 22 yearold American skater Nathan Chen scoring his personal best of 111.17 in the figure skating team event in the men’s short program, earning ten points and putting the U.S. in the lead. Chen’s teammates, Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue, also won the ice dance rhythm dance. Another highlight was when the German figure skating team, Tim Dieck and Katharina Mueller, dressed as Harley Quinn and the Joker during their rhythm dancing event. The duo scored 63.21, the lowest score in the ten-team event. “The duo’s compatriots Minerva Hase and Nolan Seegert, Germany’s representatives in the pairs portion of the team event, withdrew from the team event after Seegert tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday. As a result, Germany will almost certainly not progress to the team event final and Mueller and Dieck’s crime spree will be confined to the qualification round,” reported NBC Olympics. On a sadder note, 22 year-old Japanese snowboarder Rina Yoshika suffered a spinal injury after a major crash while training for the Beijing Olympics. Yoshika fell hard after misfiring on a jump during a practice session. The snowboarding events are set to begin today. Medical personnel immediately were at her side and it took them about 20 minutes to stabilize her and put her on a sled to take her down the hill. Yoshika was entering the Olympics ranked number 12 in the world. Officials told Fox that Yoshika is not paralyzed and will return home after receiving treatment.

Westmont men’s basketball team overcomes Hawks’ second-half surge By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

SANTEE — Like on many occasions in the past few weeks, Westmont’s opposition went on a game-changing run to take the lead in the second half. On Thursday night, however, the Westmont men’s basketball team (14-9, 49 GSAC) brushed aside a 15-0 run from San Diego Christian (5-18, 3-11), and came back with a vengeance to defeat the Hawks 78-55. The Warriors shot only 11 3-pointers all night, including just three in the second half. Instead, on this occasion, Westmont bullied their way inside, and outscored San Diego Christian 44-20 in the paint, including 24-8 in the first half. Nate Meithof led the way with 23 points as the GSAC’s leading scorer shot nine of 12 from the field. Meithof also led the club with seven rebounds and four steals while committing just one turnover. Jared Brown shot eight of 12 from the field in a 21 point effort, while also leading the club with three assists. Before things got dicey at the beginning of the second-half, the Warriors controlled the game during much of the first period. Three minutes into the contest, Meithof and Brown drained consecutive 3-pointers that put the Warriors up 8-4, a lead they would not relinquish until after the intermission. With 11 minutes left in the half, Sebastian Reynoso began to make his presence felt when he came up with a steal and hit a three

in transition to put Westmont up 19-13. Two minutes later, after grabbing a rebound on the defensive end of the court, Reynoso converted on an acrobatic layup attempt to put Westmont up 23-13, their first double-digit lead of the night. Two minutes later, after the Hawks got back within seven, Cly Griffith Jr. wore contact at the rim before throwing down a dunk for an and-one. Griffith, who scored 13 points off the bench, put Westmont up 26-16 with six minutes remaining in the first half. The lead stayed at an even 10 going into halftime, with Westmont leading 37-27. With 17:58 remaining in the game, Meithof made a layup to put Westmont up 39-29. Then, San Diego Christian threw an all-too-familiar punch at the Warriors. After Kyle Ruiz hit a three that pulled San Diego Christian back within seven, the Warriors proceeded to miss their next four shots and make two turnovers, giving the Hawks a window to close the gap over the next four-plus minutes. With 13:38 to play, Josh O’Campo hit a three to cap off a 15-0 run from San Diego Christian, putting the Hawks up 44-39. However, the Warriors appeared determined to not let the second half get them the best of them on this occasion. A three from Jalen Townsell stopped the bleeding to pull Westmont back within a possession at 44-42. Then, Meithof bulldozed his way to the basket, and drew a foul while converting a layup to tie the game at 44. Six

UCSB women’s basketball team falls to Irvine By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The UCSB women’s basketball team’s offense was held to season-lows in Thursday’s Big West road meeting at UC Irvine, falling to the Anteaters 58-31. The Gauchos (10-7, 4-4) did most of their damage early in the night. Senior point guard Danae Miller gave her team its largest lead of the night, 12-9, on a free throw at the 1:16 mark. From there, it was all Irvine (12-8, 7-2). The Anteaters had their best quarter of the night in the second, shooting 57.1 percent and scoring 22 points while holding the Gauchos to four. The home side went into the break leading 31-16. UCSB couldn’t cut into the lead in a third period which went 14-11 in favor of the Anteaters. In the fourth quarter, for the second time, the Gauchos were held to four points while Irvine connected on 50 percent of its attempts.

Junior guard Alexis Tucker led UCSB in scoring with 10 points, going 6-for-6 from the free throw line. It was her 10th double-digit scoring performance this season, tied with Miller for the most on the team. Following two straight doubledouble outings, junior center Ila Lane tallied six points and five rebounds on 3-of-6 field goal attempts. UCSB made a season-low nine field goals, its fewest ever under head coach Bonnie Henrickson. During Big West play, the Gauchos have looked like a different team on the road then they have at home. They have now been held under 50 points for three straight road games, while conversely scoring above 60 in each of their last three home games and averaging 68 per game.

Seventh inning magic sees SBCC split doubleheader with Taft By MICHAEL JORGENSON SBCC SPORTS WRITER

Hosting Taft College in Thursday’s doubleheader at Pershing Park, the Santa Barbara City College softball team scored five runs in the seventh inning of game one to claim its first win of the year, 65. Both teams racked up the hits in the second game, which went Taft’s way, 11-5. Through three games, the Vaqueros (1-2) have now scored 12 of their 19 runs in the seventh inning.

GAME ONE Santa Barbara gave up two runs on three hits to start the game, but cut into the lead in the bottom of the opening inning. Shortstop Naveah Freitas led off with a single through the right side. Center fielder Natalie Depasquale put her on second with a sac bunt, and catcher Linnéa Sandahi recorded her first RBI of the season with a single to left. A three-run fifth inning extended Taft’s (2-3) lead to 51, but the Cougars would leave runners on base in each of the last five. The defense managed to give SBCC a chance to steal

the game late. Pitcher Lauren Indermuehle (1-1) entered the game at the top of the fourth and tossed a Vaquero season-best six strikeouts the rest of the way. Needing four runs to extend the game, the Vaqueros loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh with two outs. The comeback started rolling thanks to a Taft error, which brought in a run from first baseman Jade Loeffler. Left fielder Sarah Hammons followed with a single to right, bringing in two more runs and making it a 5-4 game. Suddenly, the Vaqueros found themselves in position to win it. After opening the game with an RBI single, Sandahi would provide the late-game fireworks, hitting a hard shot straight up the middle to bring Depasquale and Hammonds home for the walkoff win. The Vaqueros ended with a 9-8 advantage in the hit department, as Freitas, Hammonds and Sandahi all finished with two.

GAME TWO For the first time in 2022, the Vaqueros would strike first, riding their momentum from the previous game to a 2-0 start Please see SBCC on A4

consecutive made-free throws by Reynoso, Brown, and Meithof put Westmont up 50-46. Then, with 8:11 remaining, Meithof once again drew contact before powering through to the basket. As the whistle blew and his shot fell, Meithof screamed towards the rooftops in celebration, before calmly converting the free throw to put Westmont up 53-46. Forty-five seconds later, the Hawks tried flirting with fire again by challenging Meithof on a drive to the basket. For the third time in a five-minute span, San Diego Christian got burned as Meithof made the basket while being awarded an additional shot. On this occasion, Meithof flexed towards his own bench in celebration, and once again converted the free throw to make it 58-49. Brown scored a layup on the club’s next possession, and over the final six minutes of action, San Diego Christian never got back within single digits. After the Hawks took their 44-39 lead with 13:38 to play, the Warriors held them to 11 points for the rest of the contest. Following Thursday’s win, the club will return to action on Saturday afternoon, when they head down to Fullerton to take on Hope International at 4 p.m. Links to video and live stats are available at athletics.westmont.edu.

Westmont rallies to down Hawks in women’s basketball By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

SANTEE — After a slow start, the No. 5-ranked Westmont women’s basketball team (18-3, 11-2) found its rhythm in the second half and produced a 70-39 win Thursday over the Hawks of San Diego Christian (7-15, 4-10). Iyree Jarrett and Stefanie Berberabe led the way offensively for the Warriors, tallying 18 and 16 points respectively. “We have to be better in the first half than we were today,” acknowledged head coach Kirsten Moore. “I thought we made the adjustment we needed in the second half and closed the game out well in the fourth quarter.” The first quarter saw the Warriors slowly build an 18-7 lead, culminating with a 3-point bucket by Haylie Dermer. In the second quarter, however, the Hawks outscored the Warriors 15-9, resulting in a 27-22 halftime lead. “Our intensity, defensively, wasn’t where it needed to be and they were able to hit a bunch of shots that we shouldn’t have allowed,” said Moore. “Credit the Hawks. They came out without their leading scorer and played really well.” The second half was a different story. Midway through the third quarter, the Warriors led 3532 before going on an 11-2 run. After two free throws by Kaitlin Larson, Berberabe scored on a layup before Larson did the same. Jarrett finished out the run with a 3-point field goal followed by a layup. Up 46-34 headed into the final frame, the Warriors outpaced the Hawks 24-5 in the fourth quarter, fueled by a 13-0 run. Destiny Okonkwo led the Warriors on the boards with 10 rebounds. She also tallied four blocks and two steals. Gabriella Stoll recorded nine points, sinking a trio of threes from long distance, and added three rebounds. Sydney Brown added eight points and six rebounds. The win clinches a first-round bye for the Warriors in the upcoming GSAC Championships, which will be held February 23-26 at The Master’s. The top six teams in the GSAC standings at season’s end will receive a first-round bye. Following the game, the Warriors received the news that Hope International (22-2, 12-2) had defeated The Master’s (22-2, 112) by the score of 72-62. With that result, the Royals moved into first place in the conference, one-half game ahead of Westmont and The Master’s who are tied for second. That sets up a first-place showdown when Westmont and Hope International play on Saturday night in Fullerton at 5:30 p.m. If the Warriors prevail, they

Cost of California recall election Oil prices over $90 topped $200M, elections officials say a barrel for first By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Last September’s unsuccessful recall election to remove Gov. Gavin Newsom from office cost state and local governments more than $200 million, state officials announced. The total cost of the statewide recall election in September 2021 – where a solid majority of voters rejected the recall effort – topped $200 million, according to a letter released by Secretary of State Shirley Weber Thursday. County costs for the recall election topped $174 million, according to Thursday’s report, while the office of the California Secretary of State’s costs totaled more than $26 million. State officials had initially allocated more than $243 million

to remit payments to county elections offices to cover the cost of the recall at the local level. The actual costs came in under that projected amount, leaving about $69.5 million unspent. The cost of administering the recall was higher in the state’s more populous counties. The election cost more than $52.9 million to administer in Los Angeles County, according to Thursday’s report. In total, 42 out of the state’s 58 counties had funds left over from the recall, while 16 are still in need of funding to cover the cost of the special election, the letter said. Some of the unspent money could be used to offset the costs of the primary election in June and the general election in November, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Thursday’s report comes as lawmakers are considering potential reforms to the recall process in California, including a requirement for the lieutenant governor to take over for the remainder of a governor’s term if a recall effort succeeds. Ms. Weber voiced support for this proposition during a committee hearing about recall reforms earlier this week, where she also said that concerns over costs should not lead legislators or voters to believe recall elections are too expensive to be necessary. “Government is never too expensive, democracy is never too expensive if it’s done right,” Ms. Weber said during a hearing on Tuesday. Since California adopted the recall process in 1911, there have been 55 attempts to recall a governor. The only successful

time since 2014

California COVID-19 paid sick leave bill clears first legislative hurdle By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – A bill to reinstate COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave was passed by a committee of Senate lawmakers on Thursday, advancing a proposal labor advocates say is needed to ensure worker safety. The Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Committee voted to advance Assembly Bill 84 on Thursday, which would provide up to 80 hours of paid sick leave for employees who cannot work due to COVID-19-related impacts. Under the bill’s provisions, workers are entitled to 40 hours of paid sick leave if they are experiencing COVID19 symptoms and awaiting a diagnosis or have been advised to quarantine. Employees would also qualify for supplemental paid leave to care for a quarantined family member or take care of a child whose school or daycare is closed due to COVID-19. Workers could then receive an additional 40 hours of paid sick leave if they or a family member tests positive for COVID-19. Employees are required to show proof of a positive test in order to qualify for the additional leave. “[Supplemental paid sick leave] is a very important public health measure,” Sen. Richard Pan, D-Sacramento, said on Thursday. “We want to ensure people aren’t coming to work sick, bringing COVID into the workplace and potentially exposing customers or other people.” At the end of January, Governor Gavin Newsom, alongside leadership in the State Assembly and Senate, announced an agreement with lawmakers to bring back COVID-19 paid sick leave. The announcement came after the state had experienced widespread staffing shortages in several sectors as result of increasing COVID-19 case rates. In January, California saw a 320% increase in the amount of people not working because themselves or a family member were experiencing COVID19 symptoms, according to the California Budget & Policy Center. With COVID-19 cases on the rise, labor groups called on lawmakers to reinstate paid sick leave provisions that had expired

in September 2021. Advocates said Thursday reinstating paid sick leave provisions are crucial to ensuring workers do not have to choose between working while sick or losing a paycheck. “COVID isn’t through with us,” Seth Bramble, a legislative advocate with the California Teachers Association, tweeted Thursday. “We can’t let our guard down. That’s why workers need #PaidSickDaysNow to protect themselves and their coworkers.” If passed by both chambers and signed by Newsom, the COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave would apply retroactively starting Jan. 1 and run through the end of September. The provisions would apply to businesses with 26 or more employees. The proposal was praised by officials from the California Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, who said the governor’s office “considerably improved” the original proposal to make it “more affordable and manageable” in response to the organization’s concerns. In a statement, CalChamber President and CEO Jennifer Barrera said the plan was “more limited and scope and duration” than originally discussed. “Healthy workers and healthy customers are good for business,” Ms. Barrera said in a statement. “The proposal announced today is a balanced approach to protect both workers and our economy. By allowing workers who contract COVID19 to stay home until they test negative, employers are, once again, leading the way on efforts to contain the virus and creating healthier workplaces that are safe for both employees and customers.” During Thursday’s hearing, the budget committee also advanced Assembly Bill 87, which would make $150 million in the California Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant Program to fund the remaining waitlisted grant applicants. The bill also removes certain temporary limits on tax credits, allowing businesses to reduce their tax burdens. The Assembly Budget Committee is meeting Monday to discuss these bills, as well as others included in Newsom’s package of COVID-19 emergency bills.

‘Jazz gives you an opportunity to develop a relationship’ JAZZ

Continued from Page A1 invoke feelings, protagonists and villains. They tinkered with sections of a piece, showcasing a variety in the emotion it could invoke, before exhibiting the music’s culmination. “Jazz gives you an opportunity to develop a relationship between you and a larger group. It teaches you flexibility and resilience,” Mr. Marsalis said. “You need those things to survive.” From a venerable jazz family, Mr. Marsalis has won nine Grammy Awards, according to his biography, and became the first person to win a Grammy for both

jazz and classical music in the same year. He is also the first jazz musician to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music. After the performance, Mr. Marsalis told UCSB students that “music is in a difficult place because the country is in a difficult place.” But he stressed “our future is good” because music can be healing and musicians are dedicated to their craft. Mr. Marsalis and his band, who performed Friday night during a UCSB Arts & Lectures concert at The Granada, are on tour. He said they toured as much as possible throughout the pandemic. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

have been since Sept. 10, 2014, according to data from AAA. “Gas prices at the pump are up. We’re working to bring them down, but they’re up,” President Joe Biden told CNBC. And the news ahead isn’t good, according to an expert on a cable network. “It’s going to be potentially a pricier year than anticipated,” Patrick De Haan, head of Petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. told CNBC. Mr. De Haan predicted that the national average could be more than $4 per gallon by Memorial Day. On Thursday, oil prices went above $90 a barrel for the first time since 2014, reported CNBC. The U.S. oil benchmark, West Texas Intermediate Crude futures, “gained more than 2% to trade as high as $90.23 per barrel,” according to CNBC. Prices haven’t been above the $90 mark since October 2014.

Brent crude, the international benchmark, gained 1.7% to trade at $91. “The market remains bullish on oil prices, as it has since May 2020 when OPEC+ enacted mega cuts to its output bringing oil from negative territory to a quite reasonable jump away from $100 per barrel,” Louise Dickson, senior oil markets analyst at Rystad Energy, told CNBC. “The prevailing expectation is that the market, despite some downward blips caused by pandemic demand scares, will continue to trade high on oil as real supply shortages exist both in the short and long-term view.” Edward Moya, chief marketing strategist for Oanda, told CNBC, “The oil market is so tight that any shock to production is going to send prices soaring. OPEC+ production is on cruise control with their gradual increase strategy, which means oil seems like it’s going to make a run toward $100 oil pretty soon.”

“My love of art seems to have developed through trials and errors over the years and continues to be focused on painting the ocean and landscapes that surround me,” said Ashton Howard, who’s one of the three artists featured in a new exhibit at The Ritz-Carlton, Santa Barbara.

Talented trio

Unique artists to display work at Ritz-Carlton Bacara

rtist Ashton Howard describes his ability to create “unparalleled landscapes into wild abstract backgrounds, a style that he has named Fluid Realism.” Though Kevin “Kre8” Vigil has experimented with many artistic genres including impressionism, cubism and surrealism, he describes his own artistic style as “Kre8izm,” which combines aspects of surrealism and abstract art. Tim Yanke claims his “approach to painting is to maintain spontaneity. I approach every painting with the idea that I want that painting to continuously move — I want that painting to come to life.” The three unique artists will show off their amazing collections from Thursday through Feb. 13 at The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara. All are represented by Park West Gallery, which has its headquarters and Park West Museum in Southfield, Mich. The gallery was founded by Robert Scaglione in 1969. Little did he know while working at an art gallery in high school that one day Park West Gallery would have relationships with more than 100 major artists and artist estates. Among them are the three artists whose works will be on view at the Bacara next week. The artists will be on site from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Fascinating information about their backgrounds and painting styles are available on the Park West Gallery website.

Ashton Howard was raised in Pensacola on the Gulf Coast in Florida. Growing up near the water inspired him with its glimmering waves, white beaches and tropical flora. He was always interested in art, a passion he fostered in high school, which led him to enroll at the Savannah College of Art and Design in 1999, but he soon decided to leave after realizing his methods and vision didn’t fit into the art school’s structured curriculum. Mr. Howard traveled the world seeking artistic inspiration from exotic locales, and his journey ultimately led him to Encinitas, Calif., in 2001, where he worked as a self-described “struggling artist” in Laguna Beach, supporting himself by teaching surfing lessons and painting surfboards. “My love of art seems to have developed through trials and errors over the years and continues to be focused on painting the ocean and landscapes that surround me,” said Mr. Howard. “Through painting and my experiences in nature, the inspirations are endless, and so are the hours that are involved each day. It is an obsession and one that I love very much. “On one hand, I love the pure creation and imagination it takes to turn a blank canvas into a beautiful landscape, and on the other, I yearn for being outdoors or in the water with my camera capturing incredible moments that happen in time.” There is no mistaking the art of Kevin “Kre8” Vigil.

him to try his hand at graffiti. He joined the group, which came to be known as “Kre8 and ATF,” and participated in graffiti displays across the U.S. for the next decade. It was during this period that he adopted the pseudonym “Kre8.” He said that “Kre” stands for “Knowledge Reveals Evolution” while the 8 represents the infinity symbol turned vertical. “The reason I call myself Kre8 is because I feel and know that I’m the essence of creativity, and I love the excitement and enthusiasm that people have when talking about creating something,” he said. At the age of 25, Kre8 started working as a professional tattoo artist in Florida while continuing to create his own original artwork. Around this time, Kre8 said he discovered the works of Salvador Dalí and began researching different art styles, genres and artists to help develop a distinct style of his own. He describes his own artistic style as “Kre8izm,” which combines aspects of surrealism and abstract art. Kre8 references Dalí as one of his first artistic

influences but also draws inspiration from the works of Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Pablo Picasso. Additionally, Kre8’s time as a professional tattoo and graffiti artist significantly shaped the foundation of his style. “Graffiti isn’t as loose as people think — it’s actually very structured,” he said. “Graffiti is a language that only graffiti artists can speak. It has made me who I am.” Kre8 explained that his colorful splashes of paint represent inner lives. “The color — the abstract — is us as people. We are the burst of inspiration that’s coming out of the black-and-gray world. No matter how black-and-gray the world is, we still shine.” While trying to describe the art of Tim Yanke, the one word that comes up again and again is

“spontaneous.” “My approach to painting is to maintain spontaneity. I approach every painting with the idea that I want that painting to continuously move. I want that painting to come to life,” he said. “When I’m thinking about creating an abstract, colors may just come into my head — like deep blues or purples, for example — and I really start to see an image forming. Then I’ll go paint it and realize that I want some brilliant oranges to come through. I’ll start laying down the base colors. Next thing you know, I don’t even reach the deep blues. The painting goes into a life of its own. “I’m just a painter, and sometimes I go and tell my wife Nicky, ‘Wow, these people were so moved or they fell in love with this painting, I can’t believe it.’ It’s so cool that people adhere to your work. You know what I mean? It’s a byproduct of something we do that we love and yet, man, it hits hard to these people. “It’s like writing a song, and they’re all singing along to it at a concert. They’re putting this art in their homes. They’re putting it on their walls. I think that is really, really cool.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

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.

being is critical, as you have a deeply sensitive nature. LIBRA — Today you may want to go your own way regardless of what someone else wants, Libra. Your independence is very important to you. However, compromise might be necessary in order to avoid serious conflict. Consider splitting your day to allow for the wishes of those close to you and time for yourself. SCORPIO — Today may well find you in the mood to head out on a venture or visit someone, Scorpio. When was the last time you took a day for something like this? Chances are it’s been too long. Not only will you enjoy it but others will be thrilled to have some time with you as well. SAGITTARIUS — Serious thinking and communication will be enhanced today, Sagittarius. These are strong qualities for you anyway, and with this added boost, you’ll need to have a place to express yourself. If you’ve started a journal, this can prove to be an excellent outlet. Talking with other people is another. CAPRICORN — You might feel cornered into doing something you just don’t want to do today, Capricorn. Perhaps you made a promise to handle a project, or someone close to you has decided that it’s the day to tackle something specific. Either way, if you’re uncomfortable following through, communicate that to this person. AQUARIUS — You might discover that someone close to you, a family member perhaps, could use a hand today, Aquarius. Chances are good, too, that he or she won’t ask for help out of pride. Don’t let that stop you, though. If you recognize a situation where you can be of assistance, go for it. PISCES — When was the last time you used a pen and paper, Pisces? In this age of computers, the keyboard has all but replaced these wonderful tools. In the same way that walking provides much more than fresh air, the kinesthetic value of the rhythmic motion of writing with a pen is far more soothing and even healing than most realize.

ARIES — Today may bring a keen sense of empathy and understanding, Aries. With this, verbal communication is also more likely to be effective. Consider seizing this energy by making a point of talking through any problems or issues you have with those in your life. TAURUS — Don’t be surprised if you find your mind going a thousand miles a minute today, Taurus. Slowing down will likely elude you and you’ll have to find one means or another to express what’s racing around in your head. GEMINI — Welcome to another great day, Gemini. The energy from the day’s aspects is positive and encouraging when it comes to communication and interaction with others. Why not take advantage of this? Get together to visit with friends and family and enjoy yourself. Consider inviting people over for a game or dinner. CANCER — You might find yourself really interested in getting out and doing something today, Cancer. And why not? It can’t be too difficult to phone a few friends and arrange to get together in the evening. Or perhaps you can look in the events page in your local newspaper and see whether a meeting or lecture is taking place that you’d like to attend. LEO — Consider channeling your philosophical inspirations into some creative writing, Leo. You’ll certainly enjoy this type of activity. Even if you haven’t explored this before, there’s no better day than today to give it a whirl. Why not start a journal if you haven’t done so already? This will give your ideas a place to incubate, and it can become a starting point for further reflection. VIRGO — You might feel the need for some time to yourself today, Virgo. And why not take it? Chances are you’re surrounded by others most of the time, and when you don’t take time to be alone with your thoughts and feelings, it can prove unhealthy for you. Taking care of your emotional well-

T.S. No. 094898-CA APN: 041-272-014 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 3/13/2008. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER On 3/30/2022 at 1:00 PM, CLEAR RECON CORP, as duly appointed trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded 3/19/2008 as Instrument No. 2008-0015405 of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Santa Barbara County, State of CALIFORNIA executed by: EVELYN J. HOUSMAN, TRUSTEE OF THE HOUSMAN FAMILY TRUST, DATED JUN 15 2002 WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER’S CHECK DRAWN ON A STATE OR NATIONAL BANK, A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE; AT THE NORTH DOOR OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE, 1100 ANACAPA ST., SANTA BARBARA, CA 93101 all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State described as: LOT 29 OF LINDA VISTA TRACT IN THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARNARA, CALIFORNIA AS PER MAP RECORDED IN BOOK 40, PAGE 41 AND FOLLOWING OF MAPS, IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAID COUNTY. MORE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED AS: LOT 29 OF LINDA VISTA TRACT IN THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA AS PER MAP RECORDED IN BOOK 40, PAGE 41 AND FOLLOWING OF MAPS, IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAID COUNTY. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 2458 BORTON DRIVE, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93109 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $356,709.28 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 094898-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 094898-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
