U.S. troops leave Afghanistan Efforts continue to evacuate estimated 100 Americans still there By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

After nearly 20 years and America’s longest war, the U.S. is out of Afghanistan. The last plane with U.S. troops left Monday, ending America’s long presence but leaving behind an estimated 100 Americans and a lot of uncertainty. The airplane left a few minutes before midnight Afghan time, which meant the U.S. met President Joe Biden’s withdrawal deadline. Critics had unsuccessfully urged him to extend it.

President Biden said military commanders unanimously favored withdrawing the final troops by the deadline. He said “it was time to end a 20year war.” Although there are no more U.S. troops in the country, American officials are continuing efforts to evacuate the remaining Americans, according to national media reports. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the number was fewer than 200 but “likely closer to 100.” The departure of American troops came after a faster-than-expected

takeover of Kabul by the Taliban on Aug. 15 and the killing Thursday of 13 U.S. troops and more than 170 Afghans by an ISIS-K suicide bombing. The U.S. retaliated with two drone strikes. On Monday, President Biden called on the Taliban to respect human rights and permit Afghans to travel safely. Mr. Blinken said the U.S. could continue to engage with the Taliban to protect American interests. Monday’s developments ended a long chapter in American history. That chapter began with terrorist

organization al-Qaida’s attacks on the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001 and President George W. Bush’s decision to send troops on Oct. 7 into Afghanistan, which al-Qaida had used to stage its attack on the U.S. The Taliban were overwhelmed, Kabul fell quickly, and the U.S. helped the Afghan government stay in power. The lives of women and girls improved greatly. But the Taliban continued to fight, and the war persisted. In 2011, U.S. forces went to Pakistan and found and killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, who was behind the 9-

11 attacks. In February 2020, President Donald Trump and the Taliban agreed to the U.S. withdrawing from Afghanistan by May 1, 2021, in exchange for the Taliban’s promise not to attack American troops. President Biden extended the deadline to Aug. 31. A CBS News /YouGov poll showed 63% of surveyed Americans wanted the U.S. to leave Afghanistan, but 74% of the respondents said the withdrawal was handled somewhat badly or very badly. email: dmason@newspress.com

Former homeless man leads cleanup Cruise Earthcomb, Heal the Ocean, Sheriff’s Office partner in cleanup of camp along San Jose Creek By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Former homeless man Andrew Velikanje launched his nonprofit Earthcomb Monday, cleaning up what he considers the “holy grail” of encampments. He is working long days to tidy up an area of the San Jose creekbed behind the Schwan Brothers Excavating Contractors yard in Goleta. He hopes to enlist the help of homeless individuals, offering them $20 per hour. “After being homeless for a while, you get really used to just being ignored and shunned and exiled, not respected in any capacity. And I would imagine that it really affects self-image and self-respect,” Mr. Velikanje told the News-Press. “So my goal would be to find the ones who might have a little glimmer of hope and give them enough work that they could get off the street,” he said. “I would think that in doing something like this … that they’ll start feeling better about themselves and potentially begin the transition.” The crew he lined up for Monday morning backed out, except his friend Tim, who is not homeless. Mr. Velikanje plans for more cleanups in the future. The current site was chosen from a list of more than 20 abandoned encampments identified by a Heal the Ocean survey. Nonprofit Heal the Ocean has long been a supporter of Mr. Velikanje. The organization, alongside the Hands Across Montecito project, helped him out of homelessness a year ago. Even while he struggled with homelessness, Mr. Velikanje was devoted to tidying up Santa Barbara County’s natural resources. He has disposed of approximately nine tons of trash so far. He has been representing Earthcomb as an individual, but he designated Monday as the official launch of his nonprofit. He has a tax ID and is filing his business name. So now he is ready to lead volunteers and expand Earthcomb. “Andrew’s been doing this for years on his own. I’m glad it’s finally picked up,” his friend Tim said. “He’s been bugging me for years to come out wherever he’s at, whether it be a lake or a beach, and help out.” The cleanup process isn’t easy. The group can’t go into an encampment unannounced and bag up people’s old belongings. Deputy Ben Sandu with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s

Office consults with Mr. Velikanje, and he ensures the site is abandoned before cleanup begins. “Getting everybody involved and on the same page was probably the hardest challenge,” Deputy Sandu said. “But it’s community policing at its core. You have the property owners involved; you have Heal the Ocean with an interest in cleaning up the environment and Andrew, who is doing this for his own reasons.” About a year ago, the property owners called the Sheriff’s Office to report the illegal encampment. The Schwan Brothers had been aware of the encampment for years but became nervous after nearby fires and more activity during the pandemic, said Jason Schwan, son of one of the owners. They gave the inhabitants “several weeks” to move out, Deputy Sandu said. But they had lived there for a long time and left the camp cluttered and disheveled. The Schwan Brothers donated rollaway dumpsters for the cleanup, saving Mr. Velikanje money, and allowed the group access to private property. Other groups donated supplies, such as gloves, shovels and trash bags. The items left behind were not unusual for an encampment, Mr. Velikanje and Deputy Sandu said. The former residents decorated with vases, artwork and rugs. Mr. Velikanje said it feels “morbid” to clean up people’s old home. He remembers what it’s like to live in an encampment, but he struggles with the mess and trash some leave. “The camp is right on the San Jose Creek, and this just goes straight to the ocean. So when we have the next big rains ... When this creek starts flowing, that stuff is going straight to the ocean,” he said. Furniture, mattresses and trash are spilling into a now dry creek. The encampment was high

on Heal the Ocean’s list for its potential to pollute the ocean. Deputy Sandu found coals, charred wood and propane bottles in the encampment’s former living room. Fire marshals look for clues such as these to determine if a camp is dangerous. The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will vote on the Encampment Resolution Strategy today during its weekly meeting. Implementation includes the addition of a full-time coordinator and nearly $1.48 million federal 2021 American Rescue Plan Act funds for the cleanup of 15 encampments in year one. The meeting will be streamed live at countyofsb.org/ceo/csbtv/ livestream.sbc. For more information about Earthcomb, go to earthcomb.org.

The Santa Barbara Waterfront Department is continuing the suspension of cruise ship visits to Santa Barbara until March 1, 2022. The department announced its decision in a news release Monday, citing concerns of increased COVID-19 cases. “Our cruise ship program brings millions of dollars to the local economy as well as introduces Santa Barbara to tens of thousands of people from around the world,” Waterfront Director Mike Wiltshire said in a statement. Please see SHIPS on A2

‘The health and safety of our community, as well as the health and safety of cruise ship passengers visiting our area, are our top priority so we have decided to pause the program.’

Santa Barbara Unified School District waits for rapid COVID-19 test kits Santa Barbara County confirms 99 COVID-19 cases, one death By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

ANNELISE HANSHAW / NEWS-PRESS

Lisa Esquivel and her six-month-old Japanese chin Boujee competed in the Santa Barbara Kennel Club Dog Show this weekend at Earl Warren Showgrounds.

The nation is facing a shortage of rapid COVID-19 tests, also called antigen tests, as demand rises and factories rehire employees laid off during a testing lull. The Santa Barbara Unified School District is waiting to receive antigen test kits. District staff will coordinate the testing of all the district’s employees and students when the kits arrive. Then, unvaccinated individuals will self-swab regularly throughout the school year. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported 99 new COVID-19 cases and one COVID-19 death Monday. Public Health has detected a cumulative 39,118 cases — of which 633 are still infectious — and 476 deaths. The decedent, a resident of Santa Maria, was between the ages of 50 and 69 and had an underlying health condition. Santa Maria recorded the most COVID-19 cases Monday, with 40 cases. It has 12,802 total

cases and 191 cases active. Lompoc confirmed 15 new cases, increasing its total to 4,566 cases of which 94 are still infectious. Orcutt found 11 cases Monday. It has a cumulative 2,262 cases, and 65 cases are active. Santa Barbara counted 10 new cases. It has a total of 7,253 cases and 100 active cases. The following areas also reported daily cases: Goleta, five cases (2,107 total, 25 active); the Santa Ynez Valley, five cases (1,291 total, 34 active); the North County area containing Sisquoc, Casmalia, Garey, Cuyama, New Cuyama and Guadalupe, five cases (1,441 total, 25 active); the unincorporated area of the Goleta Valley and Gaviota, two cases (1,471 total, 33 active); the South County area containing Montecito, Summerland and Carpinteria, one case (1,567 total, 16 active). The geographic locations of five daily cases are pending. There are 72 COVID-19 patients in Santa Barbara County hospitals and 22 in intensive care. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

The Girls in Ocean Science conference is set for Sept. 11 at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum.

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The inaugural Girls in Ocean Science conference will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 11 at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, 113 Harbor Way. This hands-on conference will connect leading female scientists with 30 high school students. Because women continue to be the minority in many fields of science, the conference and speakers will be encouraging these young

women to consider pursuing science-based fields of study. Students will spend the day conducting research in labs and at sea aboard the Double Dolphin. Female experts will share their lives, careers and interests with local high-school students. Young women who love science or are just beginning to show an interest will gain insight and potential mentors who can educate and guide them in pursuit of a possible future in ocean sciences. Participating scientists include Holly Lohuis, marine biologist, naturalist, educator, GiOS committee chair, Santa Barbara Maritime Museum Education Committee member, and JeanMichel Cousteau Ocean Futures Society member; Penny Owens, education and community outreach director, Santa Barbara ChannelKeepers; Lindsey Peavey Reeves, Ph.D., West Coast Region Sanctuary Soundscape monitoring project coordinator, National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, Conservation Science Division and National Marine Sanctuary Foundation; Erin Jaco, research associate, Vantuna Research Group; and Zoe Scholz, research assistant, Vantuna Research Group. Why focus on ocean science? Scientific evidence clearly shows that people are causing a decline in the ocean’s health on a global scale. Oceans cover over 70% of the surface of the earth, provide 90% of the living space and are integral to all known life on the planet. Oceans provide life-giving oxygen, regulate the climate, feed the world with needed protein, provide a place of spiritual connection and sustain the delicate balancing act between living organisms and the physical forces of Earth. Marine scientists are reporting that the oceans are warming and that these warming seas are having a profound effect on oceanic processes and marine life. Today’s loss of ocean

biodiversity is staggering. There is an urgent need to provide opportunities for young women in the community to learn all about maritime and marine science careers so they can feel educated and empowered to help turn this trend around. Through Girls in Ocean Science, participating student scientists will communicate the importance of marine ecology education and introduce students to the unique oceanographic conditions that make the Santa Barbara Channel so productive and diverse with wildlife. The cost to attend the conference is $20 for SBMM members and $30 for nonmembers, but scholarships are available at sbmm.org/girlsin-ocean-science-scholarshipapplication2/_.

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER SMPD advocates for pedestrian safety SANTA MARIA — The Santa Maria Police Department wants residents to incorporate Pedestrian Safety Month into their September observances. The Governors Highway Safety Association saw the biggest annual increase ever in the number of pedestrians killed by vehicle collisions in 2020. Pedestrian deaths alloted for 27% of California’s traffic-related deaths in 2019.

SMPD will have extra patrol officers throughout September. The officers will look for violations like right-of-way at crosswalks, illegal turns, not stopping for signs or signals and speeding. The department offers the following tips to pedestrians to avoid collisions: Stay alert and off cell phones; be predictable, use crosswalks; look for approaching vehicles. Pedestrians should not walk into a vehicle’s path. If a car is moving at 30 mph, the driver needs around 90 feet to stop. Pedestrians should dress to stand out, especially at night. Reflective material

clothing and flashlights are handy. At night, take extra precaution when crossing streets. SMPD offers the following advice to drivers: Follow the speed limit and reduce speed at intersections. Be prepared to stop before marked and unmarked crosswalks. Avoid blocking the crosswalk while waiting for a right-hand turn. Don’t drive impaired, and put down cell phones. — Annelise Hanshaw

The characters on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” were a true family. From left are Betty White as Sue Ann Nivens (the “Happy Homemaker” star), Gavin MacLeod as writer Murray Slaughter, Ed Asner as news director Lou Grant, Georgia Engel as Georgette (Ted’s wife), Ted Knight as anchorman Ted Baxter and Mary Tyler Moore as Mary Richards, who went from being the newscast’s associate producer to the producer.

Remembering Ed Asner Talented star brought out the best in the grumpy but lovable Lou Grant

At left, Ed Asner proved sitcom character Lou Grant was ideal for a drama when he starred as a Los Angeles city editor in “Lou Grant.” Center, last year, Mr. Asner, front and center, was honored on CBS’ “The Talk.” With him from left are Carrie Ann Inaba, Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood, Marie Osmond and guest co-host siblings Brandy and Ray J. At right, Mr. Asner played Chuck Kennedy, a friend of New York City Police Commissioner Francis Xavier Reagan, Tom Selleck’s character, on CBS’ “Blue Bloods.”

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

ou Grant smiled and was clearly impressed as he stood in front of his new young associate producer, Mary Richards. “You know what? You’ve got spunk,” the seasoned news director told her in his small office outside the WJJM-TV newsroom in Minneapolis. “Well, yes …” Mary said, a little embarrassed but appreciative of the compliment. Suddenly Lou’s face erupted in

anger. “I hate spunk!” As Lou glared at Mary, the studio audience laughed, and the first episode of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” (1970-77 on CBS) set the tone for seven years of hilarity. Lou was grumpy but lovable, tough but vulnerable, impatient but compassionate. And viewers couldn’t help but laugh and care about him. Emmy-winning actor Ed Asner made us care. And Mr. Asner will be missed. Mr. Asner, the last surviving member of the original “Mary Tyler Moore Show” cast (Betty

White, 99, joined the show later), died Sunday morning. Mr. Asner was 91 and full of energy in his later years. This writer discovered that on two occasions interviewing him, the first time on the phone. At the time, the prolific actor was gueststarring on some TV show — I don’t remember which one. But I’ll never forget his passion for his latest project. And much like Lou Grant, he said what he thought. He didn’t mince words. Ed was Lou. I didn’t tell him I was struggling with a cold at the time, but he noticed it in my nasal-like voice

and told me, like Lou would have told Mary or WJJM-TV writer Murray Slaughter, “Take care of that cold!” To the point and protective. Ed was Lou. The second time I talked with him was in person and on the red carpet at the TV Land Awards at the Santa Monica Airport, where a hangar had been converted into an auditorium for the televised special. Dressed in a tux, Mr. Asner was smiling and laughing. I asked him about his latest projects, and he spoke with pride and at length about playing Carl, the grumpy

but lovable widower, in DisneyPixar’s “Up” (2009), which would be released a few months later. Mr. Asner loved playing characters, and he remained prolific in his later years. I loved it when he reprised a villain he played on the classic “Hawaii Five-O” for the rebooted version. He also guest-starred on shows such as CBS’ “Blue Bloods,” on which he acted with Thousand Oaks actor and avocado grower Tom Selleck, the series’ star. And Mr. Asner was known for his continuing role on Netflix’s “Cobai High,” inspired by the “Karate Kid’ franchise. He played

the stepfather to Lawrence (William Zabka). Mr. Asner’s character delivered tough love, and it’s hard to imagine any actor who knows how to do that better than Mr. Asner. Mr. Zabka posted a tweet after learning about Mr. Asner’s death. “Devastated to hear this news,” Mr. Zabka tweeted. “What a legend. What a beautiful human and special friend. I learned so much from him. My love and deepest condolences to the Asner family.” An actress from a classic TV Please see ASNER on B2

10 great relationship tools

uccessful relationships don’t happen in a vacuum. They take work, and couples who make their relationships work are the ones who also have the most fun and feel the most love. It’s a simple program that really works. Here are 10 tools to get you started. 1. Give what you want to get. All relationships benefit from a pay-it-forward attitude. If you’d like to feel understood, try being more understanding. If you want to feel more love, try giving more. And remember that your partner isn’t psychic, so let them know what you need. 2. Find your happy place. No one else can make you happy. Finding happiness is something you have to do on your own. If you feel that it’s your partner’s responsibility, think again, and look within to find out what piece may be missing for you. Become responsible for your own happiness, and you may never be unhappy again. 3. Find a way to become and stay best friends. For some, being best friends sounds unromantic, but for those who live it, most say it’s the best part of their time together. Besties have each other’s back and never put one another down. Instead they lift each other up. 4. Get regular relationship tune-ups. If you ever did counseling, go back and have a session to catch up, or read a relationship book together. You should do this at least once a year. Even if you don’t think that you need help, the process alone will strengthen your connection. 5. Let go of your anger. Anger is a relationship killer. It makes you self-absorbed, and it keeps you from seeing the good around you. If you are annoyed with your mate, give yourself some time to calm down, then gently discuss what’s going on for you. Holding onto anger is a waste of time. 6. Honor each other in some way every day. Every morning, you have the opportunity to make your relationship sweeter and deeper by recommitting to

your mate. Feeling respected and cherished by the one you love makes life much nicer. Most of us like to hear “I love you.” Don’t hold back saying how you feel. 7. Understand that every couple is different. We’re not from Mars, Venus or the moon. That would mean everyone was in the same solar system, and even Einstein wasn’t so sure about that. Understanding and celebrating our differences makes living together more peaceful, interesting and fun. 8. When you’re upset, first check out what’s going on inside you. Rather than getting angry with your partner because you’re feeling off, check in with yourself. Most arguments stem from our own fears or pain. The truth is that we usually aren’t upset for the reasons we think, so make sure that you are thinking clearly. 9. Put your wishes on the table, so your partner knows what you need. In truth, you can only change yourself, not other people, but you can influence others’ behavior. Loving someone means that you can change behaviors that you probably don’t like in yourself anyway. 10. Talk more than you ever have. You have to take the risk of sharing what’s really going on in your hearts and heads. If your partner does not know how you are feeling (or you don’t), then this is a must-have conversation. Please do it sooner than later. There are no guarantees, and our needs do change over time. But couples who practice these techniques have longer and stronger relationships than those who are not proactive in their relationships.

DISNEY-PIXAR

At top, Ed Asner made Lou Grant a grumpy but lovable father figure. Above, Ed Asner was proud of being the voice of Carl, the grumpy but lovable widower in Disney-Pixar’s “Up.”

show expressed her regret over the loss of Mr. Asner. “I’m heartbroken,” tweeted Maureen McCormick, aka Marcia on “The Brady Bunch,” in a post that showed her with him. “Rest in Peace my sweet, kind and dear friend Ed. You made and will continue to make this world a better place. I love you and will miss you so very much.” Mr. Asner was born Nov. 15, 1929, in Kansas City, Mo., and grew up to act in productions at the University of Chicago. Like Lou Grant, Mr. Asner served in the army. He was in the Signal Corps in the early 1950s. Afterward, he pursued acting in New York City and got some acting gigs on stage and TV. But it was “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” that made the difference. Lou Grant was Ed Asner’s big break. Viewers instantly loved Lou. He could be blunt and irritable, but shy and uncertain. He did his best to avoid WJJM-TV’s “Happy Homemaker” star who had a constant crush on him: the irrepressible Sue Ann Nivens (Betty White). Tough guy Lou wasn’t sure how to handle Sue Ann. Lou, meanwhile, tried to be patient, but could only put up with so much from his incompetent and egotistical anchorman, Ted Baxter (Ted Knight). Watching Lou with Ted was like watching a boiling pot of water, and you could almost see the steam come out of Lou’s ears when he finally had enough. At the same time, even if Lou wouldn’t admit it, he cared about Ted. And he cared about Mary. And Murray (Gavin MacLeod). He cared about everyone around him because Lou was the father figure, the guy delivering tough love.

And he was the classic newsman who knew the importance of getting the facts right. Long before I ever got to interview Mr. Asner, he inspired me, mainly by his acting on his spinoff “Lou Grant.” Here Lou was the Los Angeles city editor wisely mentoring his young reporters and determined to get the stories. I decided on journalism long before that, but was impressed with Lou Grant, a newsman with integrity, a man determined to find the truth. But for the most part, Mr. Asner will be remembered for “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” where Lou, despite his gruffness, showed his vulnerability. Viewers felt for him when his wife Edie (Priscilla Alden Morrill) decided to separate from him and later divorced him. Viewers felt intrigued when Lou and Mary tried to go on a date. It didn’t work because, in the end, Mary couldn’t think of him as anyone else but that father figure, Mr. Grant. And viewers cheered for Lou when he faced an old girlfriend who treated him badly and looked him up just to borrow money from him. He gave her the money but decided to handle the incident maturely and calmly walk away from the table, showing her she couldn’t upset him. He had grown. Then at the last moment, Lou said, “To hell with it!,” turned around and pushed the exgirlfriend’s head down into her dessert. She raised her face, covered with frosting, and the studio audience howled. You couldn’t help but root for Lou. And Ed was Lou. email: dmason@newspress.com

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Daily Bridge Club

2021 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

ARIES — This should be a fortunate day, Aries, including love, career, money, and health. Plans for a trip might finally materialize, and a long-awaited solution for a niggling health concern could manifest. You should feel very enthusiastic and optimistic about your future. You might even be daring enough to take a few more chances than usual. Go for the gold, and don’t be surprised if you actually get it! TAURUS — If you’ve been expecting a settlement of some kind, today it might finally come or show signs of coming soon, Taurus. This is a great day to invest in a home, land, or property. It’s especially necessary to read the fine print before signing anything. Your mind might be a little foggy. Anything you have to do could require a little more concentration than usual. GEMINI — Some paperwork might need attention today, Gemini. You may also be on the phone a lot. Communication should be clear, open, and honest, so you’ll accomplish exactly what you need to. An intimate and loving conversation could take place between you and a close friend or lover who might follow up with a visit to your home. CANCER — Physically, Cancer, you feel strong and energetic. This is a good day to look into expanding your horizons. All signs point to personal and career success. Some surprising communications from friends or neighbors could bring fascinating information your way. You’ll know just what to do with it. Follow your instincts! LEO — Ingenuity and practicality lead to success now. Something may be accomplished that has meant a lot to you, Leo, and you should feel particularly satisfied with yourself and maybe even a little excited. A lot of comings and goings could take place in the home today, with visitors and family members popping in and out. Stay centered. VIRGO — You might put a lot of effort into the appearance of your house. Some people you’d like to impress could visit your home tonight, Virgo. You should be especially intuitive now, so don’t be surprised if you anticipate what they’ll say before they say it. Make it work for you! Success through entertaining and the16, astute use of Monday, November 2015 intuition are highly indicated.

LIBRA — A group you’re affiliated with could meet somewhere in your neighborhood, Libra. Though you’re usually more sensitive and intuitive than others, today you could be feeling especially so. Expect a lot of phone calls and visitors. Don’t be surprised if you can read their minds! Artistic and creative interests could also be important to you now. SCORPIO — This is a period when your business and financial interests continue to fly high. You may feel disoriented at times, as everything seems to be happening at once, Scorpio. Yet all you can do is go with the flow. You’re on a roll! Matters involving friendship and love also are changing rapidly, mostly for the better, though you might leave some longtime companions behind. SAGITTARIUS — As career and money matters continue to advance, your self-confidence is high and your mind is very positive. You should continue to attract good fortune. Expect more pleasant surprises and sudden breaks this month, Sagittarius. You’ll attract new friendships based on shared spiritual values, and old friendships should solidify even more. Life is treating you well. CAPRICORN — Your ESP continues to expand, Capricorn, and you sense what friends are feeling without their saying anything. Don’t be surprised if one is hiding some repressed anger! The chance to travel may come up unexpectedly, and you could be in a quandary about going. Consider it carefully. If it’s feasible, go for it. This isn’t the time to hold back. AQUARIUS — The execution of contracts and other legal documents looks favorable now, Aquarius. You might consider going into business, perhaps in a partnership with some friends. This looks good, but there’s a chance that one of them has been keeping things from you, and this might make you angry. Honest communication is necessary in order to succeed at a new enterprise. PISCES — Everyone is likely to be making demands on you right now, which can have you in a dither. A career success could be offset by an upset with a partner over a miscommunication. This should be worked out, but it might take the wind out of your sails if you let it, Pisces. It would be a good idea to derail any upset before it runs you down. Invite your partner out to celebrate!

G K O S N P

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.

TS 42071 Ln Silva TO 1876043CAD. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE. YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 11/13/2019. 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. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. NOTICE: ALL AMERICAN FORECLOSURE SERVICE, AS TRUSTEE, WILL NOT ACCEPT THIRD PARTY ENDORSED CASHIER’S CHECKS. ALL CASHIER’S CHECKS MUST BE PAYABLE DIRECTLY TO ALL AMERICAN FORECLOSURE SERVICE. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: Michael Silva, Trustee of the Michael Silva Revocable Trust Dated November 27, 2012, Duly Appointed Trustee: All American Foreclosure Service. Recorded 11/13/2019 as Instrument No. 2019-0052037 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Santa Barbara County, California. Date of Sale: 9/15/2021 at 1:00 PM. Place of Sale: At the main entrance to the County Courthouse, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $271,347.17. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 2447 Calle Linares, Santa Barbara, CA 93109. A.P.N.: 041-411-013 . The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale .. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of the monies paid to the trustee and the successful bidder shall have no recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case 42071. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (916) 939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 42071 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.
