California law would provide $500 tax credit for blood donation By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – As the U.S. faces a critical shortage of blood, one California lawmaker has introduced legislation that would offer tax credits to residents who donate blood four or more times in a calendar year. Assemblyman Freddie Rodriguez, chair of the Assembly Committee on Emergency Management, introduced legislation last week that would provide a $500 net tax credit for individuals who donate blood four or more times per year. The credit would apply to donations of blood or “human blood components,” according to the bill text. The legislation was referred

The third day of the Olympics did not disappoint, featuring some spectacular moments for competitors. Jakara Anthony made history Sunday, winning the gold medal and becoming the first Australian woman to win a medal in the event at the Olympic Winter Games. The Australian freestyle skier landed difficult tricks, scoring 83.09. Anthony finished ahead of U.S. athlete Jaelin Kauf at 80.28 and the ROC’s Anastasiia Smirnova at 77.7. “Gold medal was the plan, so I’d say it went according to plan. It was pretty tough to try not to get too far ahead of yourself. You have to constantly bring yourself back to the moment and just try to take things one step at a time, which is easier said than done. It was really incredible. I really feel like it was my best run on the course, and I’m so proud that I was able to let myself ski like that. It’s a real mental game to let yourself do what you are capable of, and I really feel I was able to achieve that, which is something really special and something I’ve been working really hard to be able to do,” said Anthony. The American women’s ice hockey team dominated Switzerland with three wins. Hilary Knight, the U.S. star forward, struck first on Sunday with a power play with 5:40 on the clock. Knight converted her own rebound after an initial save by Swiss goalie Saskia Maurer. “I think you just have to take whatever opportunities present themselves, try to create more opportunities. Obviously, the puck doesn’t go in if you don’t shoot it and I’m really proud of our squad for being able to put it on net and be good in front and

make it messy,” Knight told NBC. “I think the Americans showed up and really proved what they wanted to do. They ran four lines, all four lines have actually produced a goal in this period. So, definitely, I think, the most dominant period we’ve seen from Team USA so far,” Angela Ruggiero, 1998 Olympic gold medallist told NBC. Japanese skier Kobayashi Ryoyu took the gold medal in the men’s normal hill ski jumping final, scoring 275 points. Japan has not had a gold medalist in this event in 50 years, when Kasaya Yukio took the gold in 1972. “I can’t believe it at all. My two jumps were perfect, which I was very pleased with. Today I had only good feelings when I was performing. At the last Olympics, I realized many things that I was missing so this time I did what I had to do. This is why I got the victory,” said Kobayashi. At the previous winter olympics, Kobayashi finished seventh in the same event. German competitor Johannes Ludwig won his first Olympic singles luge gold medal Sunday at the Yanqing National Sliding Centre. Ludwig set track records on two of his previous three runs for a combined winning time of 3:48.735. “This gold medal means a lot to me. I have a lot of years in this sport behind me and I had a lot of not so successful years. In 2010 and 2014 I didn’t qualify for the Olympics. I had a lot of fourth places in world championships, I think nearly five. There were a lot of times only near the podium. It’s one thing that I always keep continuing luging, and I’m happy that I did it. I think this medal is a sign that I did the right thing,” said Ludwig. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

On Saturday, the City of Goleta gave away over 10,000 at-home COVID-19 test kits at the West Wind Drive-in theater. The tests were supplied by the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department. The distribution was on a first come, first served basis with a limit of six per household. The City of Goleta expressed gratitude to the West Wind Drive-In for providing space for the event, and to the Food Bank of Santa Barbara County for assisting with logistics. “Overall things went really smoothly, it was a really long rush for three hours straight. We were planning on going until 3:30 but ran out just before 1 p.m. The city would like to give a special thanks to the volunteers, who came out and spent their Saturday helping the community,” Michael Baris, Emergency Services Coordinator for the City of Goleta, told the News-Press.

to the Committee on Revenue and Taxation and the Committee on Emergency Management Thursday, where it could be heard before the end of the month. “It is alarming that California has reached crisis level in its blood supply, a position no one in an emergency should have to face,” Assemblyman Rodriguez said in a statement after the legislation was introduced. “I have introduced legislation to quickly provide needed relief to the supply.

‘The need for blood is constant’ BLOOD

Continued from Page A1 who are sick or injured.” In January, the American Red Cross announced it was facing its “worst blood shortage in more than a decade,” declaring its first-ever nationwide blood crisis. The organization, which provides about 40% of the nation’s blood supply, said that it had less than a one-day supply of critical blood types throughout January. The severe shortage led California Health & Human Services Agency Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly to call on residents across the state to donate blood in mid-January. “While the need for blood is constant, California, along with the rest of the nation, is experiencing the most severe blood shortage in the last ten years,” Dr. Ghaly said in a statement in mid-January. “Fortunately, there is hope in ending this blood emergency with a simple act of kindness many of us can take as individuals – blood donation.” The impact of the blood shortage was felt in several hospitals across the state

throughout January. In one instance, the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, located in Los Angeles County, closed its trauma center to new patients for two hours after facing extreme blood shortages, the Los Angeles Times reported. Since January, the Red Cross has seen thousands of donors come forward to donate, but “patient care remains at risk,” Cari Dighton, the regional communications director for the American Red Cross Northern California Coastal Region, told The Center Square. “The threat of winter weather continues − as well as ongoing complications posed by the omicron variant – and could further complicate efforts to rebuild the blood supply,” Ms. Dighton said. “More donors are needed to make appointments now for the weeks ahead to help the nation’s blood supply stabilize. All types are needed, especially types O positive and O negative, as well as platelet donations.” If Assemblyman Rodriguez’s bill is passed by the State Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom, the law would take effect starting Jan. 1, 2023.

UCSB defeats UC San Diego in men’s basketball By DANIEL MOEBUS-BOWLES UCSB SPORTS WRITER

Senior center Miles Norris and junior guard Josh Pierre-Louis were fantastic Saturday afternoon lifting the UCSB Men’s Basketball team (9-9, 1-4) over UC San Diego (10-12) 84-48. The 36-point win is the largest margin of victory the Gauchos have had since the season opening 119-65 win over San Francisco State. Senior forward Miles Norris led the Gauchos in scoring with a career-high 32 points going 13-for-16 from the field and 5-for-7 from deep to go with five rebounds and a steal. This comes just two games removed from his record-breaking nine threepointers and a previous career-high of 31 at CSUN last week. He is the first player to have two 30+ point games since Max Heidegger in 2020. Josh Pierre-Louis was also terrific from the field, scoring 12 on 6-of-7 shooting to go along with five steals, seven assists and three rebounds. He finished the game with an incredible plus-minus mark of 36. Junior guard Calvin Wishart led all players with eight assists and senior center Amadou Sow led all players with seven boards. The Gauchos were very efficient from the field, shooting 36-57 (63.2%) while holding the Tritons to just 37.5% from the field and 18.2% from three. UCSB also won the rebound battle 36-20 and outscored UCSD 46-28 in the paint. Both teams were efficient to start, as UC San Diego shot 83% from the field (5-6) while UCSB shot 90% from the field (9-10), led by Miles Norris who was a perfect 3/3 for the Gauchos early on.

UC San Diego struggled on defense and with keeping possession of the basketball in the first half, turning the ball over 10 times and allowing UCSB to capitalize by scoring 19 points off turnovers. The Gauchos went on an 18-2 run over the course of a three minute period as UCSD continued to struggle on both ends of the floor. Norris was electric in the first half, scoring 21 on 8-of-9 from the field, including 4-of-5 from the three-point line, leading the Gauchos to take a commanding 22 point lead to end the half. UCSD made only 39% of their shot attempts (9-23) and 22% of their 3 point shots (2-9) in the first half while the Gauchos went 20-27 (74.1%) from the field. The Gauchos continued to keep their foot on the pedal as they increased their lead from the start of the second half to lead by over 30 points just minutes in. UC San Diego took better care of the basketball early in the second half, but continued to struggle creating opportunities to score the ball. Aside from the first three minutes of regulation, UCSB found themselves in the lead for the entirety of the game. UC San Diego’s interior defense struggled to stop the Gauchos from scoring in the paint as more than half of UCSB’s points came from layups and dunks. The UCSB Gauchos will now head back on the road to play Cal State Bakersfield Thursday night and rival Cal Poly Saturday evening.

UCSB women’s tennis team back to winning By DANIEL MESSINGER UCSB SPORTS WRITER

Less than 24 hours after the UCSB women’s tennis team took on UCLA in Los Angeles, they marked their return to the Arnold Tennis Center with a commanding 6-1 home win over University of San Francisco Saturday morning. The win snapped the Gauchos’ (2-4) three-match losing streak. The Gauchos fell behind in doubles when the Dons’ Mya Bui and Chiho Mushika defeated Filippa Bruu-Syversen and Marta Gonzalez Ballbe 6-2 on court three. Shakhnoza Khatamova and Elizaveta Volodko then won 6-2 on court one, leaving the doubles point up to the court two matchup. Amelia Honer and Kira Reuter then clinched the doubles point for Santa Barbara with a 7-5 win over Caragh Courtney and Simran

Chhabra. As the match moved to the singles portion, Camille Kiss shut out Mya Bui 6-0, 6-0 on court three. Khatamova was also dominant in singles, winning her court one matchup 6-1, 6-1. Bruu-Syversen clinched the match for the Gauchos with a 6-0, 6-4 victory on court five. Elizaveta Volodko won a backand-forth 6-3, 2-6, 10-4 match on court two, while Kira Reuter earned a 7-6, 6-2 win on court six. The Gauchos host PAC-12 opponent Washington State at 1 p.m. Friday.

Westmont drops another close game in Fullerton By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

FULLERTON — The Westmont men’s basketball team put up a valiant effort in the second half, but came up short in Fullerton on Saturday night. In the end, the Warriors (14-10, 4-10) were unable to get over the hump against #18 Hope International (18-6, 11-4), as they fell to the Royals 69-62. “I was proud of the determination we showed in the second half,” said Westmont head coach Landon Boucher. “Hope at one point held a 14 point lead, and we fought back to have a lead at one point. To do that against a top-25 team in the nation, on their home court, takes guts.” Jared Brown had the hot hand in the second half, and led the Warriors comeback charge with 15 points, but ultimately, the Warriors were unable to overcome their 17 turnovers in Saturday’s defeat. The Warriors committed 17 turnovers that led to 20 points for the Royals, while also allowing 11 offensive rebounds that led to 12 second-chance points for the opposition. “We are going to take pride in cleaning up our turnovers heading into a couple home games this week,” offered Boucher. After the Royals opened up the game with consecutive buckets, the Warriors did not tie up the contest until the 11:47 mark in the first half. After Ajay Singh’s layup knotted the game at 13, Cly

Griffith Jr. drained a three, and Jalen Townsell converted a layup. While the club’s continued to trade offensive blows, the Warriors found themselves leading 18-15, which would ultimately be their largest lead of the night. Following Townsell’s layup, Hope International closed out the first half by outscoring Westmont 18-7, which led the Royals to take a 33-25 lead into intermission. At the halfway point, Westmont had already committed 10 turnovers that led to 13 points for the Royals. Westmont did not score for the final 90 seconds of the first half, and then did not score for the first three-plus minutes of the second. By the time the Warriors scored in the second half, Hope International had stretched their lead to double-digits at 39-25. The Royals kept their advantage consistently in double-digits for the first seven minutes of the second period, before consecutive threes from Brown cut the deficit to 42-35. Brown then hit another 3pointer to make it a twopossession game at 44-38, officially kick-starting Westmont’s most threatening run. “I was proud to see Jared have one of his best halves of the season,” noted Boucher. “Not only offensively, but he did a fabulous job guarding Garcia.” Down eight, the Warriors held the Royals scoreless for three Please see WESTMONT on A4

The Gauchos’ (3-1) defeat of the Roadrunners was clinched by a gritty three-set singles win by Pablo Masjuan over Tiago Torres. Phillip Jordan and Kai Brady got the match off on the right foot for Santa Barbara, shutting out their opponents on court one for a 6-0 win. UTSA’s Sebastian Rodriguez and Tiago Torres proceeded to even it up with a 6-4 win on court two. The doubles point came down to court three, where Gauchos Gianluca Brunkow and Masjuan won in the tiebreaker 7-6(2). Moving onto the singles portion, UCSB opened with wins on courts six and five where Brady won 7-5, 6-2 and Brunkow won 6-3, 6-1.

“We can start to lean forward and take a little bit more risk and try to at least make sure that students in schools have some semblance of normalcy for this spring term.

Westmont women’s tennis team falls to Caltech By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

After dropping a pair of games on the road to open the year, the Westmont women’s tennis team got to return to Montecito for their opener on Saturday. While the Warriors’ score has improved in each of their three contests this season, Westmont (0-3) dropped Saturday’s match against Caltech by a score of 5-2. In doubles, Anika Arora and Athena Kolli opened the match by handing Francesca Aguirre and Sophia Ostovany a 6-1 loss on court three. Then, the Warriors bounced back and matched the oppositions’ energy when Christine Hemry and Olivia Madarang defeated Michelle Hyun and Riti Agarwal 6-1 on court two. The doubles point came down to court one, where Rachal

Jackson and Emily Peterson went head-to-head with Anna Tifrea and Emily Zhang. While Jackson and Peterson put up a valiant effort for the Warriors, the Beavers prevailed with a 6-4 win to claim the doubles point. “Like yesterday, I was still satisfied with our performance,” said Westmont associate head coach Cade Pierson. “In doubles it came down to the last court, and on this occasion it came down to Rachal and Emily on court one. “It was a battle and I think Rachal and Emily applied a lot of what they learned yesterday in today’s match. I was proud of how they set up their points and how they competed and problem solved. I trust that with more match experience, they’re going to adjust and execute those final shots. “On court three, I thought we

competed well, but the opposing team just executed their game plan first. I think we did a good job committing to our plan, but I do think we could have done a better job trying to make adjustments as the match went on.” Pierson and the rest of the Warriors were pleased with court two’s result regardless of the final tally. “On line two, I was happy to see them take the match so decisively,” noted Pierson. “After yesterday’s match, I think they continued their really good communication with each other and planned each point well. I was really happy to see them execute as planned.” Westmont’s two points on Saturday were earned by Jackson on court one, and Aguirre on court four. Jackson outdueled Tifrea 7-6 (2), 6-4 on court one, while Aguirre

defeated Arora 6-3, 6-4 on four. The Beavers won decisively on court five and six. On court five, Yochana Benchetrit defeated Madarang 6-4, 6-0, and on six, Nin Solovyeva defeated Ostovany 6-1, 6-2. Hemry fell to Agarwal 6-3, 6-4 on court three, while Peterson fell to Emily Zhang 6-4, 6-4 on court two. “We’ve continually built upon each we’ve played,” reflected Pierson. “I’m excited to see each player continue to move in the right direction. Today’s match revealed a few more specifics for each player that we plan to dive into leading into conference play.” Jacob Norling is the sports information assistant at Westmont College. email: sports@newspress.com

‘We are determined to improve and grow closer together’ WESTMONT

minutes, as Brown and Griffith along with Nate Meithof continued making shots. With 9:33 to play, a jumper from Meithof cut the lead to 46-45. Less than a minute later, Meithof drilled a three that knotted the game at 48. With 7:06 to play, Singh converted on a threepoint attempt, putting Westmont up 51-50 for the first time in the second half. Unfortunately, for the Warriors, they led for only 32 seconds during the period. Westmont fell down 59-56, but with 3:38 to play, Jalen Townsell converted a 3-pointer to

tie the contest at 59. However, after a bucket from Josh Powell-Davis on the other end, the Royals went ahead for good, beginning with their 61-59 advantage. After a free throw from Griffith pulled the club within one, Westmont’s next three possessions resulted in a pair of turnovers and then missed a 3-pointer. Following the three empty possessions, the Royals possessed a 6560 advantage with just 38 seconds remaining. The Royals made their free throws down the stretch, and ultimately stretched their lead to seven points by the final buzzer. “These losses have been brutal”, admitted Boucher, “but we are refusing to give up. We are determined to improve and grow closer

together every day.” With less than three weeks until the GSAC Tournament, the Warriors have four more chances in the regular season to get ready for postseason play. The club hits the court next on Thursday night in Santa Barbara, when they host Vanguard at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday night at 7:30 p.m., when Westmont hosts Life Pacific, the club will celebrate senior night before playing their final two conference games on the road.

REVIEW

A night of thrilling jazz at The Granada Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra impresses audience with great ensemble music and exciting solos

KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

Wynton Marsalis performs during a program Friday morning for local students. Later that night at The Granada, Mr. Marsalis and his Jazz at the Lincoln Center Orchestra performed for an impressed full house.

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

azz legend Thelonious Monk loved to challenge musicians. “When they recorded this, it took them 25 takes just not to mess it up,” another jazz great, Wynton Marsalis, told a packed Granada Friday night. The audience laughed throughout the Santa Barbara concert as the friendly trumpeter blended humor with history in his introductions to incredible classics written by everyone from Sonny Rollins to the awesome Chick Corea. Mr. Marsalis and his 15-piece Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra did a great job with the music, which demonstrated the spontaneity of jazz and the emotion of the moment. The spontaneity during the UCSB Arts & Lectures program extended to Mr. Marsalis surprising himself when he played unexpected chord progressions during one piece. But smiling, Mr. Marsalis pointed out that young pianist Dan Nimmer heard what Mr. Marsalis was doing and matched the chords. That’s jazz, the art of musicians who really listen to each other and work like a team to explore new territory. Even if the songs during a tour are the same from city to city, something new can happen at each concert because jazz is all about improvisation.

That’s the thrill of it. It’s also the art of strong melodies and syncopated, compelling rhythms. In varying its louds and softs, Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra knew when to fly, when to land. The audience of all ages responded to the musical flights by cheering at times. One young man sitting near this writer leaned forward, smiling and yelling some “all rights!” That’s great because jazz isn’t something you just listen to. It’s something you experience. No wonder the full house gave the band a standing ovation at the end. The thrills during the concert included exciting solos by the saxophonists, trombonists and trumpeters — including, of course, Mr. Marsalis, who, as music director, played in the back with the other trumpeters. He introduced the music from his seat on the top riser. And Mr. Marsalis was smiling after Kenny Rampton’s trumpet solo with a plunger-mute, which gives jazz a really cool effect. During another special moment, the auditorium fell into stunned silence during drummer Obed Calvaire’s carefully crafted solo, which proved rhythm has its own crescendos. The audience was fascinated and gave Mr. Calvaire enthusiastic applause. Saxophonist Ted Nash, who also plays flute and clarinet, was

FYI Next up for UCSB Arts & Lectures is Dreamers’ Circus performing at 8 p.m. Tuesday at UCSB Campbell Hall. Tickets for the folk trio’s concert cost $20 for general admission and $10 for UCSB students. To purchase, go to www.artsandlectures.ucsb. edu or call 805-893-3535. equally impressive with his solos. And Mr. Nimmer’s solos showed his hands dancing happily around the piano. Sheer fun. Elsewhere in the rhythm section, Carlos Henriquez played the standup bass with finesse. There was also the powerful music by trombonists Chris Crenshaw, Vincent Gardner and Jeffery Miller, who sounded great during solos. A jazz concert is a history lesson, and Mr. Marsalis’ introductions to the music made the history fun. In discussing Mr. Monk, Mr. Marsalis explained the rhythmic complexity was enough to make fellow be-bop greats Dizzy GIllespie and Miles Davis mutter under their breath. But meeting a challenge is rewarding. As played by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Mr. Monk’s music stood out for its unconventional rhythms, which

made his songs all that more risky and compelling. And jazz is about taking the risk. The band also played a work by a musician who was in Mr. Davis’ band in the 1960s and was part of the birth of jazz fusion: Mr. Corea. The composer, who died one year ago this month, knew how to make music playful or in the case of “Windows,” soulful, and Mr. Marsalis and his band brought out the heart behind Mr. Corea’s melodies.

The concert featured arrangements by members of Mr. Marsalis’ band. During its tours, the orchestra plays arrangements and compositions by Mr. Marsalis, Henriquez, Mr. Nash, Mr. Crenshaw, and saxophonists Sherman Irby and Victor Goines. The orchestra is also known for its performances around the world of music by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, Mary Lou Williams, Mr. Gillespie, Benny Goodman and Charles

Mingus. Earlier on Friday, Mr. Marsalis and his band drew the parallels between jazz and life at The Granada in a program viewed by UCSB students on site and local elementary and secondary school students watching a live stream. Listening to jazz is a journey in spontaneity, teamwork and, as stated previously, the emotion of the moment. email: dmason@newspress.com

A mask of artistic and biblical proportions his image sent is a blessing to me because I have amusing and clever readers who connect historical objects with present day realities. Such is Santa Barbara reader F.R., who sent me a photo of the 25-inch mask that she collected in Venice in the 1980s — and she wonders about the history of masking and the history of her mask, which is the face of Michelangelo’s David. I thought I would riff, as F.R. does in her email to me, about the COVID-19

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.

Day and birthdays are prime times to make resolutions or set goals, yet this is something that can be done any time. In fact, it’s advisable to renew, rename, and revamp ambitions on a regular basis, since life brings constant change to circumstances. Scorpio: Another person will probably bring you much comfort today, Scorpio. It could be someone you know well, but chances are it will be someone you’d least expect to be there for you. With your tendency to keep to yourself and be on the quiet side, you may not always notice those around you. Yet this doesn’t mean that they don’t notice you. Embrace a new friend and the support offered when the opportunity arises. Capricorn: It would be wise to spend some time thinking about your finances today, Capricorn. Do you have a realistic budget, or does yours exclude such things as entertainment, gifts, and occasional splurges? Such a budget won’t suffice, because these are expenses that everyone has. Take a good look at your spending habits and see where you could cut back without too much pain. Sagittarius: Sagittarius, you may find yourself feeling more aggressive than normal today. This can serve you well when it comes to getting what you want, provided no one suffers in the process. It isn’t generally in your nature to step on anyone on the way up the ladder, and you aren’t likely to feel good if this occurs. Look at all possible ways to attain your goals. You’re sure to find something that suits you that isn’t harmful to others. Aquarius: Take the time to consider your physical and mental health today, Aquarius. Given your hard-driving nature, these are areas that may be neglected. One really affects the other. If you overwork your brain or put off dealing with problems, your physical health will suffer. Things like excess weight, addiction, and bouts of depression are all indicators that there is an imbalance in your life. Pisces: It’s the perfect day to do some planning, Pisces. Take the time on a regular basis to think about the things you want to do and accomplish. It’s essential for feeling you have control over your life. It can be almost impossible to reach your goals without a concrete plan.

Considering what you really want out of life can be instrumental in setting goals and making dreams come true. Reaching them can often be as simple as making a decision and taking that first step. Taurus: You might be feeling a bit more hesitant than usual when it comes to making decisions, Taurus. Even if someone accuses you of being distrustful, it’s your sense of caution that saves you a lot of grief. If a person or situation has you feeling skeptical, there is probably a good reason for it. Gemini: You may feel that you have to defend your motives today, Gemini, and this can really put you off, especially if you can’t see a reason for it. Try not to take it personally. Just because you know where you’re coming from doesn’t mean the other person does. It may simply be a communication problem. Make the effort to clarify your position. Cancer: Is there a person in your life who keeps coming to mind again and again, Cancer? If so, it might be time to get together. Whether there’s something that needs to be worked out or you simply miss him or her, take the steps needed to connect, even if it takes email, letters, or a phone call to get in touch. Leo: Your usual outgoing and often radical nature may be far more conservative today, Leo. This can be a result of the day’s planetary influences, and if used well, this mood can prove most beneficial. It can add seriousness to your day that suits such activities as goal setting, budget planning, or recovery. Make the most of this energy by digging into the areas of your life that could use some rethinking. Virgo: Focus on yourself today, Virgo. Yours is often an extremely giving nature. You can be compassionate to a fault, in that too much of your energy goes to helping solve others’ problems. Then you’re left without enough focus for yourself and the things that are troubling you. See about spending some time alone to concentrate on any issues you have. Reach out to a trusted friend for guidance and support. Libra: Today is an excellent day to set some new goals, Libra. When was the last time you did this? Many think that New Year’s

T.S. No.: 9508-1994 TSG Order No.: 8760688 A.P.N.: 053-193016 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 05/23/2008. 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. Affinia Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 07/29/2008 as Document No.: 2008-0044727, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Santa Barbara County, California, executed by: JANIS MCCLINE: MERLIN L MCCUNE, TRUSTEE OF THE MERLIN LEWIS MCCUNE, JANIS MCCUNE LIVING TRUST DATED LOUIS 05/30/07, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by 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). 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, and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. Sale Date & Time: 02/16/2022 at 01:00 PM Sale Location: At the main entrance to the County Courthouse, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3038 CALLE ROSALES, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93105 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 in 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) 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: $191,247.37 (Estimated) as of 01/31/2022. 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 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9508-1994. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-9390772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com using the file number assigned to this case, 9508-1994, 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. 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.

Foundation to host art and poetry talk By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Architectural Foundation of Santa Barbara will host a free art and poetry talk Feb. 12. “Attention to Loss: A Conversation with Artist Pecos Pryor and Poet Molly Jane Burns” will take place from 2:30 to 4 p.m. in the courtyard of the Architectural Foundation’s historic Acheson House, 229 E. Victoria St., Santa Barbara. Debra Ollin Herrick, the editor of Lum Art Magazine, will moderate. The talk is being held in connection with the Architectural Foundation Gallery’s, current exhibition, “Attention to Loss,” a solo show of artwork that Mr. Pryor created during a time of deep grief, including drawings, printmakin, and sculpture. The exhibition is on view through March 5. The talk will consist of Mr. Pryor and Ms. Burns discussing how grieving have impacted their artistic practice. They will attempt to unpack the question, “What do we do with our hands in grief?” The artwork in “Attention to Loss” was created after Mr. Pryor lost several family members under tragic circumstances, as well as having gone through a divorce. “The art produced in this time has been physical, contemplative, full of mad and sad tears as well as loving ones,” Mr. Pryor said in a news release. “I have created traffic cones built from clay, concrete, and fiberglass, and carved from wood,

The talk will consist of Mr. Pryor and Ms. Burns discussing how grieving have impacted their artistic practice. They will attempt to unpack the question, “What do we do with our hands in grief?” stone and plaster; drawings of single unmade beds; self portraits; woodcuts, etchings and mono prints derived from the imagery of sculptures and shadows; and monotonously colored full sheets of paper, dark space-no answers, but some color,” he said. “With the inability to change tragedy, art making gives me something to do with my hands.” Similarly Ms. Burns lost her sister, brother and sister-in-law, as well as a longtime friend to cancer between 2005-07. This occurred after losing both parents. After the death of her father, writing poetry gave her an outlet for her grief, a place to say what was left unsaid, and honor the loss of her family’s landscape. Due to limited seating, reservations are required. To make a reservation, contact Molly Burns at 805-965-6307 or molly@afsb.org. Social distancing and masks are required. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Mask is made from papier mache GOLD DIGGER

Continued from Page B2

others cannot see our whole face, they can see what we are thinking about! In Florence, Italy, where you will see the original David sculpture, you might know that there are two works, identical, that you might experience, both of huge David. The original is in the Accademia Gallery in Florence, where it was moved in 1910 from the outdoor Piazza Signoria. But of course, a copy was made for the Piazza Della Signoria (Duomo Square). Before F.R. sent me her mask, I did not know that the stone of which David is carved was brought to Florence across the Mediterranean in the middle 15th century and that the huge block of marble had such great promise that two notable sculptors attempted to make a sculpture of it, all five tons of it, but failed. In the 16th century, therefore, a competition was won between three sculptors, two of which were Leonardo and Michelangelo, and Michelangelo won the commission to sculpt something wonderful for the plaza by the Duomo. Michelangelo worked on the huge block of marble, making David from 1501-1504, creating what some think is the grandest work of the Renaissance. Now, how has it become an icon? And why do we see David on COVID masks? Because it is a world treasure. For example, a full sized image of David was sent to the Dubai Expo in October, and that led to interesting cultural decisions. Presenters crafted an exquisite replica of resin using laser scans and 3D printing, then covered the 15-foot work with marble dust, but then they had to figure out how to display it in a culturally sensitive way. So they imagined it as being shipped in a glass 18-foot crate to Dubai and having the pillars of support for the glass strategically placed for “protections.” And thus, the glass shipping container and the pillars with David inside were on display, and not the whole of

David. So ingenious! Now let us look at F.P’s venetian mask. It was worn on the top of the head at the carnival, no doubt, and is light because it is made of papier mache over a support, which today is resin. In the 16th century, the support was an armature that was made only of reinforced papier mache, and this was perfected for the stage. Papier mache artists made masks for the performers of the Commedia dell’Arte theater productions since the 16th century, then painted the faces of the masks. The faces were fantastic, and of course DAVID was not a face seen on the theater stage in those days: We would have seen the Punchinello, the miser, and the curvy and desirable maiden. Masks since the Greek era were an element of public performance, as we see they have become today. To see but not see a face has ancient ramifications. Some masks are about disguise, some are about health, and some are about fun. But all are about what the face is and is not. When the tradition of masking came to Venice, we see delicate silver and gold leafing as on F.P.’s David mask, made for fun and show. Next time you despair and wonder if you will ever not have to mask up, and you think you are wearing a face diaper when you put on your COVID mask, think of the rich tradition of masking, and give yourself some heart! And perhaps order yourself the mask of David, the conqueror of the giant Goliath, to wear. F.P. has threatened to wear her David mask to Rite Aid, and I hope she does. Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press. Written after her father’s COVID19 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.
