By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The family who owns the site of the former Volkswagen dealership on Chapala Street is looking to put the pedal to the metal on downtown housing. Proposed for 630 Chapala St. is a mixed-use, three- and four-story housing complex. It would include 39 Average Unit-Size Density Incentive Program rental units, four of which would be affordable and the rest market rate. “It’s taken a while for the family to come together and decide what we thought was the best use of the property,” Tom Meaney, the applicant and architect behind the Santa Barbara project, told the News-Press. His grandfather founded the original car dealership more than 60 years ago, and the architect said that the family could have opened a new car dealership or a commercial property. “But, in terms of the direction of the city, they’re wanting housing downtown, not another car dealership necessarily,” he said, referring to the city of Santa Please see HOUSING on A4

Roughly 40 firefighters throughout Santa Barbara County have been assigned to Northern California to help fight spreading wildfires near Lake Tahoe. Three major wildfires have taken hold and covered tens of thousands of acres, destroying several homes in their paths. The Beckwourth Complex is the largest wildfire now in Northern California and the largest in the state so far this year. As of Monday, it had burned nearly 90,000 acres, and firefighters had reached 23% containment. Santa Barbara City Fire Chief Chris Mailes told the NewsPress the call came in Sunday for mutual aid for the Beckwourth fire, and as per usual, the department committed to a total of 16 days. “As all of this information has come out about this summer, we are expecting another very intense fire season,” the chief said Monday. “Our fuel moistures, how dry the conditions are, are a couple of months ahead, so we really are looking at September/ October fuel moistures right now in the middle of July. So, of course, that coupled with high temperatures and low relative humidities means it’s ripe for fires all over the state.” Six firefighters from the city department were assigned up north. Of the approximately 40 firefighters in total, 20 are from Santa Barbara County Fire, and

the rest are spread out among the other local jurisdictions. Santa Barbara City Fire sent one brush engine, a strike team leader and a trainee, Chief Mailes said, along with more direct firefighters. There are a total of five engine strike teams from Santa Barbara County now in the region. Chief Mailes referenced the River Fire, a massive blaze burning in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Mariposa and Madera Counties. In just a few hours on Sunday, the fire grew from about 10 acres to roughly 2,500, and nearly doubled in size to 4,000 acres by Monday morning. One of Santa Barbara County Fire’s hand crews is now there at the River Fire, but only 5% containment was reported. The pace of this fire exceeded the pace of last year’s Creek Fire, which burned nearly 380,000 acres in September. “That’s the kind of fire behavior that we are expecting now,” Chief Mailes said. “The fire behavior has changed greatly over the last few years — it’s become more intense. We’ve had to adjust our levels of engagement, and our safety has never been more important. “Even veteran firefighters are saying they haven’t seen these kinds of fire conditions before.” Santa Barbara County has seen multiple vegetation fires this season thus far, the most recent being the Gifford Fire off State Route 166 east of Santa Maria on Sunday evening.

The State Assembly Health Committee is considering a bill today that seeks to unearth potential corruption in skillednursing facilities’ financial statements. Sen. Henry Stern, D-Los Angeles, introduced the bill, SB 650, in February and accrued co-sponsorships from AARP California, California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform and SEIU California. During a virtual news conference Monday, Sen. Stern said he thinks the bill is likely to receive support from the chair of the Assembly Health Committee. Over the past year, information has spread regarding the owners of for-profit nursing facilities. A Washington Post article last August showed how some nursinghome corporations are writing off expenses paid to companies the owner has a stake in. The corporations, hiding their real profit, then pull more funds from the state and federal government. “The corporate side of this industry, the larger for-profit institutions are transacting in the billions, not the millions, in billions with related parties,” Sen Stern said. “We have very little idea about whether those transactions are actually being taken in a way that is fair, that

prices are not being inflated, that money isn’t being wasted or that profits are not being unjustly pocketed.” To identify related or “shell” companies, the bill requests annual consolidated financial statements audited by a certified public accountant. Owners must also disclose any companies they have at least a 5% share of that transacts with the nursing facility. “The industry capitalizes on an asymmetry of information. The nursing homes know their costs; they know their profits, and the state simply doesn’t,” said Tony Chicotel, CANHR staff attorney. “This lack of transparency results in the state getting ripped off.” He noted that current state regulations focus on licensees, but SB-650 targets owners. Blanca Castro, AARP California director of advocacy, believes it is a nonpartisan issue. The bill passed the Senate floor in June with 34 ayes, three nays and three votes not recorded. Sen. Andreas Borgeas, RFresno; Brian Dahle, R-Bieber, and Brian Jones, R-Santee, issued the three “no” votes. SEIU Local 2015, a union of California’s long-term care workers, joins the bill with a caretaker’s perspective. “SEIU 2015 workers are very ,very proud to be co-sponsoring SB-650 because we feel strongly that shining a light on the lack Please see BILL on A4

Victim allegedly assaulted by family members SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Police Department is investigating an assault that occurred Saturday night allegedly involving the victim’s family members. Officers found the victim lying in the street yelling for help in the area of Rancheria and Gutierrez Streets on Saturday. The victim had called police after escaping an assault.

Prior to being transported to the hospital, the victim told officers he had been bound and assaulted at home by members of his family. Officers responded to the victim’s house, calling backup to interview the many occupants of the residence. Police determined the involved parties lived together at the home, and the suspects had been upset at the victim’s behavior. The suspects allegedly restrained and assaulted the victim, resulting in severe injuries. Police arrested the following suspects, all residents of Santa Barbara: Alfredo TelizJimenez, 41; Santos Teliz-Jimenez, 43; Jose Urbano Teliz, 49; Pedro Juarez, 43, and Samuray Juarez, 21.

Child tax credit payments to roll out this week By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Many parents will receive an extra boost in their bank account this month — and every month through December. This Thursday, eligible Americans will receive their first monthly payment of the child tax credit expansion as part of the American Rescue Plan signed into law by President Joe Biden during the pandemic. According to national media reports, the IRS has begun sending out letters informing 36 million families who are eligible, based on their tax returns. There are roughly 39 million households who will receive the payments automatically. Families of more than 65 million children will receive monthly payments of up to $300 a month for each child under age 6 and $250 for each child ages 6 to 17 years, via direct deposit, checks or debit cards in the mail. Each payment will be delivered on the 15th of the month, with the exceptions of holidays or weekends, through December. Locally, more than 135,000 children on the Central Coast will benefit from the enhanced child tax credit, according to U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara. He told the News-Press Monday that this increased credit is “a historic investment in the future of our country that will lift many children and families out of poverty.” These payments will be based on taxpayers’ 2020 tax returns. If those are not filed or processed yet, it will be based on their 2019 returns. To reach the low-income households who don’t typically file tax returns, a portal will be set up so families can submit their

information and claim both the enhanced child tax credit and any stimulus checks they missed. This Non-Filers tool was on irs. gov last year for those who needed to register for stimulus payments who do not normally file taxes. National media reports said the tool was used by more than 8 million people. Users answer questions about their households and provide their bank account information to receive the funds directly. In addition, a separate portal will be available for parents to update their bank address, account information and family size. They could also opt out of the monthly payments to receive the tax credit as a lump sum next year when they file. In total, eligible families can receive a credit totaling $3,600 for each child under 6 and $3,000 for each child under age 18 for 2021. Single parents with annual incomes up to $75,000, heads of households earning $112,500 and joint filers making up to $150,000 a year will be eligible for the enhanced credit. “I come from a working class family, so I know that $300 a month can make a real difference in people’s lives,” Rep. Carbajal said. “It has become harder and harder to afford housing or child care and, as the cost of living soars and wages stay the same, we need to level the playing field so every child has the opportunity to fulfill their potential.” The Biden administration, the IRS and other national community organizations are conducting outreach to inform very lowincome families of their options, as they had not qualified for all or most of the credit in the past. The new law boosts the child tax credit to $2,000 per child under age 17.

RAFAEL MALDONADO / NEWS-PRESS

Youths play Monday at Kids World in Alameda Park in Santa Barbara. More than 135,000 children on the Central Coast will benefit from the enhanced child tax credit payments being mailed out monthly, starting this Thursday.

The tax credit is also fully refundable, so more low-income parents can take advantage of it. More than 20 million children have been unable to get full credit because their families’ incomes are too low. The child tax credit alone is expected to cut child poverty in half, according to estimates from both Columbia University and the Urban Institute, and lift more than 5 million children out of poverty this year. Talks of making this boost permanent are being pushed by Democratic lawmakers. However,

President Biden is only proposing to continue the increased payments through 2025 through his American Families Plan, costing roughly $110 billion a year. “The expansion of the child tax credit means working, middle class families will get $300 per child under 6 to help put food on the table, cover health expenses or pay for child care,” Rep. Carbajal said. “That means healthier kids, and it means parents can get back to work and continue to provide for their families.”

He credited the local community, too, who he said is “always engaged” and “can be self-

sufficient.” The chief added that the Santa Barbara community is “really good” at keeping up with the local fire departments on how to stay safe. “It’s an orchestrated effort to keep everybody safe and mitigate fires,” he said about jurisdictions working together to prevent fires from spreading. “A fire doesn’t care that it’s in the city of Santa Barbara.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Lawmaker says pandemic revealed ‘cracks in the system’ BILL

Continued from Page A1 of transparency from some of California’s largest nursing home employers is a fundamental step toward our vision for a longterm care system that puts care first, not profit,” Arnulfo De La Cruz, SEIU 2015’s executive vice president, said. All speakers mentioned that funds do not seem to be going to workers at the facilities. “We could be seeing billions of dollars of waste and abuse in this industry where those dollars are so desperately needed on the frontlines,” Sen. Stern said. He believes the lack of workers has led to nursing home deaths during the pandemic. “This is not a next-year issue, this is right now. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it has really revealed those cracks in the system,” he said. State lawmakers increased the medical budget this year. The budget includes a large expansion of Medi-Cal, which pays for nursing home care. “If we want to wait four years on checking where that money went, that doesn’t make much sense from a taxpayer protection perspective — let alone a human dignity or a caregiver

Although the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development is busy, Sen. Stern insists on the timing of the bill. “We’re all going to be aging more and more. The aging population in California is going to be skyrocketing in decades to come, and the spending that we’re going to have to put into caregiving is going to be unprecedented,” he said. The bill does not apply to assisted living facilities nor inhome care. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Proposed project includes no on-site parking HOUSING

Continued from Page A1 Barbara’s plans. The applicant plans to demolish the existing structure except for the service building in the back, which will be repurposed. The complex would include 5,119 square feet of commercial space and 32,429 square feet of residential space. Mr. Meaney said the biggest amenity will be a central courtyard with paseos and arcades, along with a small roof deck. The project went before the Historic Landmarks Commission for a concept review last week. Most commissioners liked the project, but some expressed concerns with the height exceeding the typical 45-foot limit, considering other tall buildings already on Chapala Street, he said. However, the Planning Commission is considering a Community Benefit Height Exception, which will be discussed next week.

Mr. Meaney said the tallest part of the building is a “very, very small” part of the project — only three units on the top floor, amounting to 3,500 square feet. “There are multiple four-story projects up and down Chapala and on Ortega. Macy’s is much taller than our project,” the architect said. “I created a small, four-story section to create more of a variety of building forms on Chapala Street. When I had all three stories, the building was kind of blocky.” With his design, he said it gives the building dimension, and actually makes it look like three separate buildings. This, Mr. Meaney said, sets it apart from other structures surrounding it. Another unique aspect is that it is likely one of the first projects being proposed in the city that doesn’t have onsite parking. The city’s standards were recently updated and do not require onsite parking anymore, so if built, the apartment building would allow residents to use two city parking lots within a block from the complex.

“Housing projects that don’t have parking encourage people to walk and use e-bikes or city transportation,” Mr. Meaney said. He shared a story about a recent project he and his friend worked on, where they offered one parking space per unit. Many spaces sat unused. “That’s going to be a trend,” the architect said. He said the idea of tenants walking, biking or riding around Santa Barbara fits the vision of the city, and the lack of onsite parking allows for the open paseos and courtyards “to open off the street into the middle of the project.” “The city is really supporting State Street. Architects envision our downtown is going to change in the next few years,” Mr. Meaney said. “It’s all of those sketches in that direction that have led us to this concept: pedestrian-friendly situations around courtyards … “It’s just going to be a very inviting place to live and to experience.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

UCSB scientists likely prove existence of rare electron-capture star explosion

A new supernova

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A worldwide team led by UCSB scientists recently found convincing evidence of a stellar explosion roughly 31 million lightyears away. And what they found just might be the origin of the Crab Nebula, shedding light on a thousand-year mystery from A.D. 1054. The researchers found the first solid evidence that “electroncapture supernovae” exist. These explosions occur when some electrons in the oxygen-neonmagnesium core get smashed into their atomic nuclei, causing the core of the star to buckle under its own weight and collapse. The study was led by a graduate student at UCSB and Las Cumbres Observatory, Daichi Hiramatsu, who is also a core member of the Global Supernova Project. Andrew Howell, a staff scientist at Las Cumbres Observatory and adjunct faculty at UCSB, was the advisor for Mr. Hiramatsu as well. “It was such an exciting moment for me to close the longstanding theoretical loop that was formulated even before I was born,” Mr. Hiramatsu told the News-Press. “The process was rather gradual, but certainly rewarding, like putting together a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle.” Up until now, scientists knew of two supernova types: thermonuclear and iron core collapse, Mr. Hiramatsu explained. Thermonuclear supernovae originate from white dwarfs (stars that had roughly less than eight times the mass of the sun at birth) while iron core collapse supernovae originate from massive stars (roughly more than 10 times the mass of the sun at birth). Thermonuclear supernovae occur when the stars gain enough matter from their companion to reach a certain mass for a thermonuclear explosion. Iron core collapses occur when the massive stars stop nuclear fusions once they form iron cores, losing the support against gravity and resulting in a core collapse. Somewhere in the middle, the scientists found, are electroncapture supernovae, specifically considering their star mass, which is roughly eight to 10 times the mass of the sun. “The stars in the intermediate mass range are not heavy enough to fuse up to iron in their core. Instead, they stop nuclear fusions when they form an oxygen+neon+magnesium core that is pressure supported by electrons,” Mr. Hiramatsu said. “When the core becomes dense and hot enough, the socalled electron-capture reactions take place, in which neon and magnesium eat up electrons, converting their protons into

neutrons.” This results in the core collapsing under its own gravity like the iron core collapse explosion. But it’s triggered by the electroncapture reactions rather than thermonuclear ignition. The supernova the graduate student and his team studied — SN 2018zd — revealed six peculiar elements providing the solid evidence of the theory: 1) a faint progenitor star; 2) dense gas surrounding the progenitor star; 3) enriched chemical composition

of the gas; 4) low explosion energy; 5) large brightness that dropped roughly four months after the explosion; and 6) neutron-rich nucleosynthesis in the explosion. Mr. Hiramatsu said all of the elements “can be naturally explained in the electron-capture scenario.” The Crab Nebula, too, has many similar elements that can be naturally explained in the electron-capture scenario, he said, including: dense surrounding gas, peculiar chemical composition, low ejecta mass, low kinetic energy and

neutron-rich nucleosynthesis. However, the scientist said this doesn’t quite confirm its origin — yet. “Since the supernova happened nearly a thousand years ago, however, the information on the progenitor star and supernova explosion themselves is missing, so some uncertainties still remain,” Mr. Hiramatsu said. “We are hoping that this discovery can bridge our understanding of electron-capture supernovae from early explosion (SN 2018zd) to late nebula (the Crab Nebula) phases.”

When asked why it took four decades for scientists to find this convincing evidence of the unique origin theory of the Crab Nebula, the researcher said he’s been asking the same question for a while. He has come up with three main reasons. One is that electron-capture supernovae are “intrinsically rare” — scientists estimate their rate to be roughly a few percent or even less of all core-collapse supernovae. Second, the explosion energy of

these specific supernovae is lower than the others, so they could be fainter and harder to discover, Mr. Hiramatsu said. Lastly, he said discovering this required extensive observations to check the criteria, so it’s possible that some supernovae were overlooked as normal iron core collapse in nature. Mr. Hiramatsu and his team were able to make their discovery by using the worldwide telescope network of Las Cumbres Observatory. Specifically, they Please see SUPERNOVA on B2

This is an artist’s impression of a super-asymptotic giant branch star and its core made up of oxygen, neon and magnesium. This is the end state of stars around eight to 10 solar masses, whose core is pressure supported by electrons. When the core becomes dense enough, neon and magnesium start to eat up electrons, reducing the core pressure and inducing a corecollapse supernova explosion.

Some data came from Japanese amateur astronomers as well, along with Bok and MMT telescopes in Arizona, Keck telescopes in Hawaii, and the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes. Leading the charge to hopefully explain the origin of the Crab Nebula was a full-circle type moment for Mr. Hiramatsu, as he first got interested in astrophysics when he saw pictures of the universe, one of which was the iconic Crab Nebula. He said this made him realize that “those beautiful pieces can be explained in terms of the math and physics that we know of.” Even more ironic is that SN 2018zd exploded on Mr. Hiramatsu’s mother’s 60th birthday.

Now is the most dangerous time of year

ost suicides do not take place during the winter holidays, like most people think, but happen toward the end of July and in August. At this time of year, being aware of how the people we love are feeling is even more important than usual. It’s not enough just to say something if you see something. You may have to be the one to give someone a ride to the doctor’s office. One observation and one action can save a life, maybe several lives. Why do suicide rates go up in the summer? No one knows. But my thinking is that the days are much longer than in the winter, and this can be hard if you are depressed. Of course, seasonal affective disorder is just the opposite: People become depressed without enough light or time outdoors in the winter. But for others who suffer with depression year-round, bedtime may be the best part of their day, and having to stay up later gives them too much time to ruminate on their internal pain. It is also one of the reasons that alcohol

and drug use increases as well in summer. You can be depressed without being suicidal — many millions of people are — but if you are having suicidal thoughts and have the means and a plan, you are in danger. You can pick up the phone and call 1-800-273-TALK right now, and get someone to listen at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Help really is just 11 digits away. I sometimes suffer from depression, but what keeps me from sinking deeper is the knowledge that my outlook can change in a New York minute. The phone can ring, an email will come, someone will apologize to you or acknowledge your value. This is true for all of us. With the pandemic, things have gotten worse for most people who are depressed. Loneliness is also at an epidemic level, and that kind of heartache can lead you to thinking that the world would be just fine without you, which is a lie. You add to the fabric of society and are important simply because you care. You also matter to others, even if you don’t think you do.

Maybe it’s just the computer tech you talk to once a month or a delivery person, but you do matter to them. Someone I hardly knew from my office building died from COVID-19. We used to say hello when we passed by each other, and maybe we would talk about boats for a few minutes. Not a deep relationship, but he mattered to me, and his loss is something I feel. There are people who have feelings like that for you as well; you just don’t know it or can’t feel it right now. Suicide is not an answer. It’s just a way to quit feeling. Even if your feelings aren’t good, they actually are a reminder that you are alive. As long as you are breathing, you can change your situation and your attitude. You may need to reach out for a little help, but more assistance is available than ever before, so what are you waiting for? Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., LMFT, is an award-winning therapist and writer.

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

By Dave Green

ARIES — Spiritual matters could be very much on your mind, Aries. You may want to delve into metaphysical studies and meditation, but work or family responsibilities could interfere with making those desires a reality. Don’t let this get you down. Instead, stay focused on the mundane chores and finish them. Then you can move on to the really fascinating matters. TAURUS — A friend may seem in a dark and gloomy mood and unwilling to talk about it. Don’t force the issue. This probably has more to do with your friend’s circumstances than with you, Taurus. It’s best if you continue to pursue your cherished goals. Not only could you advance your interests but you might also inspire your friend and bring him or her out of the dumps. Go for the gold. GEMINI — Professional interests might temporarily interfere with your social life, Gemini. This might cause a little friction between you and a close friend or romantic partner. Your friend is more apt to want to brood than discuss it with you. Don’t worry. This person will come out of the funk and be more understanding. Explain the situation the best you can and then continue with your work. CANCER — Responsibilities to work, family, or both could temporarily delay plans for a much-needed vacation. This could be a bit depressing, Cancer, but don’t let it get you down. Take care of your responsibilities as quickly as you can and then move ahead with your plans. All signs are that this trip is important to you and should go ahead as scheduled. LEO — Your financial situation should continue to expand now, Leo. Believe in yourself. Don’t worry if you hear rumors that make the future seem rather grim. This is probably misinformation coming from unreliable sources. Continue to work toward your goals. Meanwhile, check out the rumors and find the real facts. You will probably discover that all is far better than the gossipers claim. VIRGO — Today it may seem like home and family responsibilities are interfering with your social life, Virgo, including a get-together you really want to attend. Don’t worry. All signs are that something unexpected will occur at the last minute that makes it possible for you to proceed with your plans. Try to take care of your Monday, November 16, duties 2015 as efficiently as you can so you can

enjoy the evening. LIBRA — You may wake up feeling strong and energetic, but as the day wanes, stress could cause you to feel tired and worn out. Be careful, Libra. You could become short-tempered around others. This won’t happen if you avoid the temptation to go like a house afire first thing in the morning. Pace yourself and your relations with others should remain excellent throughout the entire day. SCORPIO — A temporary lack of funds might interfere with creative projects or your ability to have fun, Scorpio. You might encounter an apparent coolness from a close friend or romantic partner that you might not understand. Don’t make too much of it. This probably relates more to the person’s general mood than to anything you’ve said or done. Your friend should be back to normal in a few days. SAGITTARIUS — If you spend the day at home, Sagittarius, the walls may seem to close in around you. Squabbles over nothing could erupt between you and other household members, and a lack of energy could plague you. This is a good day to get some exercise. Take a walk, ride a bike, or take a cardio class. This should work off your frustrations while creating more physical energy. CAPRICORN — Today you might be waiting for a letter or call from a close friend or love partner, Capricorn. Its delay could cause a powerful feeling of gloom. Don’t let it spoil your day. The communication will come, and if not today, then within a few days. Meanwhile, this is a great time to try your hand at writing or music. Be creative while you wait. You might also call another friend. AQUARIUS — Whatever skills or talents you’re using to accomplish your present goals may seem blocked, Aquarius. This could give rise to a sense of frustration if you let it, but don’t fall into this trap. If you can’t get motivated, focus on something else, perhaps an activity you’ve never tried before. This could get your mind going again while allowing your other skills to pick up steam. PISCES — You might feel creative, artistic, and full of ideas for new projects. However, Pisces, other responsibilities could keep you from starting on them. At the same time, your mind could be so focused on them that your other work takes longer than it should. Write down your ideas before they escape, then concentrate on the tasks at hand. Finish those and then you can pursue what you really want.

Thought for Today

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

All full-time students at Allan Hancock College are able to receive full tuition and fees through the college’s new Promise Plus program.

AHC extends free tuition to all full-time students Allan Hancock College is extending the Hancock Promise to all full-time students, providing tuition and fees through the new Hancock Promise Plus program. Promise Plus will cover fulltime students, regardless of residency, beginning in the fall and continuing through the 20222023 academic year. First-time, continuing, returning, transfer, international and concurrent enrollment students are all eligible as long as they are enrolled in 12 or more units with at least one inperson class. “Over the past year, we recognized the impact the pandemic had on many of our students,” said Hancock Superintendent/President Dr. Kevin G. Walthers. “With the Promise Plus program, Hancock is helping change the odds for students by offering a path back to stability. This is not only a great way to support our students, but it’s also an amazing

investment in our community.” To receive Promise Plus, students should apply for admission, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or a California Dream Act application and accept the Promise Plus award in the online student portal. Fall courses begin Aug. 16, and enrollment is currently open. Allan Hancock College is holding in-person registration events at its Santa Maria campus and Lompoc Valley Center from 2-6 p.m. every Monday and Tuesday through Aug. 10. “The Promise Plus provides an incredible opportunity to a wide range of students no matter where they are in their educational journey,” Hancock Associate Superintendent/Vice President of Student Services Dr. Nohemy Ornelas said. “This program offers them a chance to start, continue or restart their education without the cost of tuition being an obstacle to that important goal.” To learn more about the Promise Plus program or to apply, go to hancockcollege.edu/ promiseplus. — Annelise Hanshaw

People relax at East Beach on Sunday in Santa Barbara. While the rest of Southern California endured a heat wave, the South Coast had some relief with highs in the upper 70s all weekend. The forecast calls for a cooling trend in Santa Barbara with highs in the low 70s or upper 60s for the rest of the week.

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www.insourcelogic.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000075-21-1. 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 NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER 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 702-659-7766, or visit this internet website www.insourcelogic.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000075-21-1 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.
