Santa Barbara Zoo keepers Stephen Haug and Katie Kranda open the wire pen so Western snowy plovers can roam freely Tuesday morning at Coal Oil Point Reserve in Goleta.

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Snowy plovers are good at going unnoticed. Their small, light bodies meld with the sand — the substance in which they shallowly bury their eggs. The camouflage that can save them from predators jeopardizes the birds in the presence of unsuspecting beachgoers. A nosey dog or distracted tourist can easily step on a nest. The Snowy Plover Rehabilitation Program, a partnership of the Santa Barbara Zoo, UCSB and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, helps save the threatened species. The program released nine western snowy plovers at Coal Oil Point Reserve Tuesday morning. The nine birds came to the Santa Barbara Zoo as eggs and left ready to bond with wild plovers. Keepers from the zoo brought the birds to the beach hours before the release and let them acclimate to the environment while staying safe inside their cage. So when keepers Stephen Haug and Katie Kranda opened the wire mesh for the birds to fly free, the plovers didn’t seem to be overwhelmed. They didn’t fly out. The snowy plovers strolled out of their cage and paused in the sand. Ellie Cullip, a keeper who has worked in the program since its inception in 2016, said the plovers’ response was “very good.” She describes the releases as “such a cool experience.” “It’s hard not to get choked up and cry because you want them to do so well, and you’ve been watching them this whole time. And you just hope for the best for them,” she said. “And it’s out of our hands now. “That’s a hard part of it is knowing we can’t do anything more. Every time I do this, it reminds me why I do it.” Mr. Haug and Ms. Kranda have worked with the plovers for less than a year. They see at every milestone, from eggs to “lumpy little cotton balls on toothpick legs” to Please see PLOVERS on A4

Joyce E. Dudley named co-chair of Prosecutors Against Gun Violence

A group of snowy plovers, freshly released to the wild, sit back in their new environment.

Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce E. Dudley was named co-chair of the national organization Prosecutors Against Gun Violence Monday. She will be working alongside The Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark. They are filling the positions of PAGV founders and former co-chairs Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. “Gun violence claims lives and destabilizes communities across the country,” said Mr. Feuer and Mr. Vance. “As we move on from our roles as co-chairs, we leave PAGV in very capable and experienced hands with Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley and The Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark, as the incoming co-chairs. We look forward to this exciting new chapter in the life of PAGV.” Ms. Dudley honored the work of the founders in her acceptance speech. “Mike and Cy did a brilliant job creating, maintaining and growing PAGV,” she said. “I am honored to have been chosen, along with my esteemed colleague DA Darcel Clark, to begin a new era for PAGV in the afterglow of all of their

successes. “Tragically, my county has been devastated by acts of gun violence. Although most gun owners in our communities are both safety-conscious and lawabiding, others, who often possess guns unlawfully, have negatively impacted the lives of many. While in this volunteer position, I hope to reduce gun violence both locally and in our neighboring counties and states.” PAGV is an independent coalition of prosecutors that discuss ways to prevent and confront gun violence. — Annelise Hanshaw

Pfizer and BioNTech announced Monday results from a Phase 2/3 trial of its COVID19 vaccine that showed safe and effective immune responses in children ages 5 to 11. Pfizer said it plans to submit the results to the Food and Drug Administration for an emergencyuse authorization soon. The study utilized two doses, just like the prescription for adults, but the dosage is smaller at 10 micrograms instead of 30 micrograms. The antibody response at the 10 microgram dose was comparable to the response of those ages 1625 with 30 microgram doses. The side effects were also similar, according to Pfizer. “Over the past nine months, hundreds of millions of people ages 12 and older from around the world have received our COVID-19 vaccine. We are eager to extend the protection afforded by the vaccine to this younger population, subject to regulatory authorization, especially as we track the spread of the Delta variant and the substantial threat it poses to children,” Pfizer Chairman and CEO Albert Bourla said in a news release. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department recorded 236 COVID-19 cases over the weekend and into Monday. It has tracked a cumulative 41,402 cases of which 473 are still infectious. Public Health also reported

three deaths, bringing the county’s total to 497. Two of the deceased were between 50 and 69 years of age, and one was at least 70 years old. Two had underlying health conditions. Two resided in Santa Maria, and one called Orcutt home. Santa Maria confirmed the most COVID-19 cases this weekend, with 95 new cases. It has a total of 13,660 cases and 162 active cases. Lompoc detected 41 cases, boosting its total to 4,907 cases of which 82 are active. Orcutt recorded 28 new cases. It has a cumulative 2,492 cases and 47 cases still infectious. Santa Barbara claimed 26 cases. It has 7,534 total cases and 66 active cases. The following areas also reported cases: the unincorporated area of the Goleta Valley and Gaviota, 13 cases (1,555 total, 22 active); the North County area containing Sisquoc, Casmalia, Garey, Cuyama, New Cuyama and Guadalupe, nine cases (1,534 total, 16 active); the South County area containing Montecito, Summerland and Carpinteria, five cases (1,616 total, 15 active); Goleta, three cases (2,207 total, 23 active); Isla Vista, two cases (1,539 total, four active); the Santa Ynez Valley, two cases (1,377 total, seven active). The geographic locations of 12 of this weekend’s cases are pending. There are 45 COVID-19 patients in Santa Barbara County hospitals, 12 of whom are in critical care.

Adela Garcia, who has been actively involved with her family’s vegetable farm, was recently named a Western Region champion by FFA. She is a Pioneer Valley High School graduate and an Allan Hancock College agricultural student.

By DAVE MASON Pioneer Valley High School has reason to be proud of its graduates Adela Garcia and Marc Cabeliza. The FFA students from Santa Maria were recently named Western Region champions and national finalists in the Agricultural Proficiency Award program. They will be interviewing virtually this week with industry representatives from the National FFA Association. Results from the National Proficiency Award program will be announced at the National FFA Convention in late October. The awards honor FFA members who have developed specialized skills that they can apply toward their future careers, according to a news release. Students can advance from the local to national level for awards in nearly 50 areas, which vary from crop production to environmental sciences. Students earn scholarship awards as they advance to each level. Adela Garcia, now an agricultural business student at Allan Hancock College, is a national finalist in the area of vegetable production. She has been actively involved in her family’s vegetable farm over the last four years. After finishing her associate’s degree at Allan Hancock College, Ms. Garcia plans to transfer to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo to earn her bachelor’s degree. She wishes to use her educational experience to

expand her family’s farming business. Ms. Garcia said the experience validates the labor and effort she has dedicated to the agricultural industry. She believes that by being named a National Finalist “other students will be encouraged to share their stories working in the fields and (allow them to) value the hard work they’ve put into their jobs.” Marc Cabeliza, who currently serves as the California FFA President, is a national finalist in the area of Service Learning. Over the last four years, Mr. Cabeliza was a part of a team that built The Patch Santa Maria, a local student-run pumpkin patch, from the ground up. He was involved in transplanting pumpkins, serving visitors and transforming Los Flores Ranch Park. He helped develop educational exhibits, organized giveaways for the community and developed industry relationships with Driscoll’s and the California Strawberry Commission. After his year of serving the California FFA, Mr. Cabeliza plans to major in mechanical engineering at Cal Poly and use this knowledge to benefit automation in agriculture. Mr. Carbeliza said earning National Honors will “motivate other students to take action within their agriculture programs and communities so they, too, can unlock their true potential within the FFA.”

Continued from Page A1 fledglings to birds. “It’s good to know that we are doing our part in helping them come up and out,” Mr. Haug told the News-Press. This is the third and last release of the year. In total, the program has helped 72 snowy plovers. “For me personally, the goal would be to never take in any more birds, because that means that they’re doing great in the wild. So it’s kind of bittersweet that as much as we want our program to be successful, we don’t want it to have to be there,” Ms. Cullip said. The zoo invested in an incubation room and flight pen in 2019 as a result of the growing program. Ms. Cullip thanks donors for the ability to have a dedicated space for the plovers, “It’s very humbling that they want to help take care of our zoo and the surrounding animals, the native animals that are in their own backyard,” she said. When she brought the nine plovers to the beach Tuesday morning, she saw lots of wild plovers. Coal Oil Point Reserve staff have tracked 46 snowy plover

fledglings this year. There once was no snowy plover breeding at the reserve. Coal Oil Point Reserve Nature Center is celebrating 20 years of preservation efforts for the snowy plovers. A portion of the beach is roped off to protect the plovers, and signs warn beachgoers to be cognizant of the precious species.

A docent is on site during daylight hours, seven days a week, to educate visitors about snowy plovers and how to protect them. “Because a lot of people that come here to play don’t read the sign, we need that contact — direct contact,” Reserve Director Cristina Sandoval said. “People develop an intimate relationship once they know something, put a

name on it and they can recognize it. And that’s what we want, we want snowy plovers to become part of people’s lives.” She hopes other beaches will mimic her model and preserve snowy plovers. “Imagine all these beautiful beaches that had kelp and plovers roaming around and now they’re groomed and have no birds. Imagine if they can be recovered,” she said. “And people can still go to the beach and surf like here; that would be a dream come true.” David Sherer, wildlife biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Ventura, says there is potential for plovers. “I think plovers are one of the best species for the Endangered Species Act PR side,” he said. “Because there is a very manageable threshold at which they could be recovered if we reached those numbers. “Coal Oil Point is a pristine example of how human and wildlife interaction can coexist without anybody really having to give anything up. So it’s a fantastic model.” Surfers enjoyed the beach Tuesday morning as the plovers familiarized themselves with their new home. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

David J. Chapman, PhD, DSc, born December 12, 1939 passed away from natural causes on August 19, 2021.

Larry was born in Sacramento on May 29, 1952 to the late Harold Drake and Dorothy Quam. He passed on August 18, 2021 after a short illness.

David was born in Kingston, Jamaica, to Phylis Claire and Valentine Jackson Chapman. He emigrated to England with his family in 1940, and in 1946 the family moved to Aukland, New Zealand where, after the war, his Father, a marine biologist, was on the faculty and head of the Botany Department of the University of Aukland.

Larry is survived by his mother, son Daniel S. Drake (Nicole), sister Linda Acosta (Ron) and his grandchildren Dannel, Moriah and their mother Cindy de La Fuente, Alina. Darnny and their mother Priscilla. He also leaves behind nieces Christina Jare (Peter) and their sons; Leanna Crum (Craig) and their ﬁve daughters; nephew Matt (Brynda) and their son.

David received an early introduction to the classics and developed a love of languages. He studied Latin for nine years and Greek for three. He also developed a love of calligraphy, having been taught by the calligraphist to the Queen, and produced many wonderful works until recent years. At the University of New Zealand (now University of Aukland) he received his BSc degree in Botany in 1960. At Scripps Institution of Oceanography, David received his PhD in 1965. His postdoctoral work as a research associate marine biologist was in Brookhaven National Laboratory until 1967, and he subsequently taught at the University of Chicago until 1973, then moved to the University of California, Los Angeles until 1994. He took the position of Dean of Mathematical, Life and Physical Sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1994 and continued until 2000, after which he continued his full time work in research and guiding his graduate students at UCSB. In all the memorials received since his death, it is clear that he took to heart a saying by Stephen Grellet: “I expect to pass through this world but once: any good thing that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” David was a loving and encouraging husband, father and grandfather. In his work, he put his students and responsibilities ﬁrst. He was also a philanthropist, freely giving money to the organizations he treasured. David is survived by his wife of 34 years, Claudia Chapman, his daughter, Amanda Shelton, his granddaughter, Carissa Shelton, his stepson, Keith Bussell, his brother, Michael Chapman, and his second wife, Judy Hastings. He is sorely missed by his family, former graduate students, and colleagues, but his good humor, knowledge, and caring, will live forever in all our hearts and memories. David was preceded in death by his youngest brother, Peter Chapman. A memorial will be arranged in the future when the Covid pandemic has ceased. In lieu of ﬂowers, please send a contribution in David’s name to the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network, 1460 N Fairview Ave, Goleta, CA 93117, or the Nature Conservancy.

Special thanks to the Ladies of Casa Serena for being so good to him and watching over him. Also, a thank you to John Gonzales who he said was his “Big Brother” he never had, Ron Acosta for being his “Little Brother” he never had and longtime friend Sam Castillo. A celebration of life will be at Sacramento National Cemetery. Family and friends are welcome to attend.

GONZALEZ, David

Age 94 October 15, 1926 to September 12, 2021 Born in Jalisco, Mexico to Petra Soto and Geronimo Gonzalez. Preceded in death by brothers Benito, Crispin, Juan, Pedro and Julian and Mary C. Gonzalez. Surviving are daughter Theresa, son Armando, Daughter-in-law Wendy, granddaughters Anita and Laura Gonzalez, stepchildren Scott, Hollanda and Myla Harwin as well as step-greatgrandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews and their families. David was employed by Eldon Smith and Sons for 40 years and an active member of a local labor union. Dad enjoyed gardening at his Westside home of 60 years. Many remember David as a snappy dresser with pressed Pendleton shirt, Western pants and boots and his famous white Stetson hat. Many thanks to the staff at Cottage Hospital and also a thank you to Serenity House for giving him a digniﬁed, peaceful journey. There will be a viewing on September 22, 2021 at WelchRyce-Haider Chapel from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The chapel is located at 15 East Sola St., Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

CBS presents workable Emmys telecast

REVIEW

Some highs, few lows

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

unday’s Emmys had the look and feel of a Golden Globes show. The actors, producers, directors and writers were seated at tables (presumably with drinks), as they would be at a Golden Globes. There was a sense of spontaneity and informality, comparable to the Golden Globes. The winners received their awards in a theater-in-the-round setting. It was a simple stage, nothing fancy, and instead of an orchestra, there was a DJ who spun the music and at one point introduced a KIA commercial. It was a casual Emmys with a small in-person audience in a tent on L.A. Live’s event deck in Los Angeles. There was potential here to do something different from past Emmys, to experiment. That didn’t happen. For the most part, the Emmys telecast worked. It didn’t soar, it didn’t fall. It worked. That’s about as much as you can say about the first in-person Emmys show since 2019. The evening followed the tone set by the host, Cedric the Entertainer, who kept things light. The show’s opening number, which involved actors throughout the audience singing modified lyrics to the late Biz Markie’s “Just a Friend,” was a mix of rap and melody. The sudden emergence of LL Cool J surprised Kathryn Hahn, the “WandaVision” nominee sitting in front of him. And it worked. It wasn’t a night of suspense or upsets. As expected, “The Crown,” Netflix’s take on Queen Elizabeth II’s long reign, won for best dramatic series and picked up Emmys for lead and supporting actors and actresses. Olivia Colman definitely deserved her Emmy for playing the queen with the right amount of finesse. Emmy winner Gillian Anderson of “X-Files” fame was uncanny in her accuracy of playing Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. “Ted Lasso,” Apple+’s sportsthemed series, did well, as

expected in the comedy category. It won for best comedy and picked up awards for its cast. The informal approach worked, for the most part. Conan O’Brien, who recently completed his last season as a talk show host, was heckling a lot when Frank Scherma, the chairman and CEO of the Television Academy, did his best to introduce Debbie Allen,

the well-deserving winner of this year’s Governors Award for her outstanding career in dancing, acting, directing, producing, choreography and mentoring. At first, Mr. O’Brien was funny, but after a while, Mr. Scherma, who took it at first good-naturedly, seemed to grow frustrated. The moment should have belonged entirely to Ms. Allen, but she did

get some great time on stage and a well-deserved tribute. It was great that actors, including Emmy nominee Michael Douglas, stood on stage and smiled to honor Ms. Allen. Some funny gimmicks during the broadcast worked well. The pre-taped skit of a support group for people who don’t win Emmys was funny and included Jason

Alexander and Alyson Hannigan. As presenters, the “Schitt’s Creek” cast was brilliant in its spoof of the awkwardness of award shows, in which they pretended there were no words on the teleprompter. Finally, when words did show, star Catherine O’Hara was ecstatic. And star Annie Murphy seemed relieved as well to have a

“script.” But Eugene Levy pointed out repeatedly he had nothing to say, looking at the teleprompter. His son, Dan Levy, got a lot to say, virtually paragraphs. Then his dad, Eugene: “No lines.” The contrast was hilarious. There were some great moments Please see EMMYS on B2

Continued from Page B1 in some of the acceptance speeches. Jean Smart stood out for her graciousness as she accepted the Emmy in comedy for best actress for “Hacks,” and the audience of her peers loved her. Hannah Waddingham was brilliant, funny and enthusiastic when she accepted the Emmy for best supporting actress for “Ted Lasso.” Jason Sudeikis kept his acceptance speech simple and

to the point when he won as lead actor for “Ted Lasso.” Kate Winslet, a phenomenal actress, gave a great speech as she accepted the Emmy for lead actress in a limited series for “Mare of Easttown.” The awards show did raise some consciousness about social issues, reminding viewers about the plight of women around the world, particularly those today in Afghanistan, and the need for inclusiveness and diversity. The memorial segment, photos set to live music, was handled better than it was

during the Oscars, although I wish just a little more time could have been given to Ed Asner. Seth Rogen gave a somewhat funny monologue at the start of the show. But such moments of energy weren’t sustained. Will this be a show people are talking about? Not really. And it’s clear why ratings keep falling for awards shows. In the end, this year’s Emmys show didn’t soar. It didn’t fall. It just worked. email: dmason@newspress.com

How our lives have changed since COVID-19

am grateful that my wife and I are both healthy and that my work has not been interrupted during COVID-19. But even with good health and work, emotionally the pandemic is still uncomfortable and scary and not a whole lot of fun. As a couple, we keep trying to make things better. In the past, we could just do whatever we wanted, but these days, we have to allow for what’s safe as well as fun. Here are a few important areas to consider these days, whether you’re in a partnership or not: 1. Events and parties. We aren’t ready to go to events or go to parties just yet. In addition, it was another concertless summer, which was a happy go-to in the past. My wife and I are both sad that we can’t have a large dinner party or go to any events, but neither feels safe to us just yet. That is our reality, but we know other people feel differently and we must adapt. 2. Dining out. Our dining out has also changed dramatically. We used to eat out half the week, but not anymore! Now we prefer takeout from local places that we know are safety-conscious. Dining in, it’s easy to socialize with one other vaccinated couple at a time. It’s a lot of fun too. We keep the windows open, and we are outside as much as possible. If you’re also eager to dine with friends, you’ll find that spending time with fewer people is not only safer but has the advantage of letting you get to know each better.

It’s more intimate. 3. Sharing your feelings. The Olympics helped fill some gaps this summer, but like most everything else, it just wasn’t the same. The COVID cloud still hangs over everything and taints our joy. As a couple, we have learned to share out loud the things we miss, and, at the same time, we talk about what we appreciate and are grateful for, like having each other. If you’re not part of a couple (and I’ve been there!), it’s important not to isolate but to seek out the support of family and friends. 4. Honoring your commitments. Obviously, big commitments are important, but in our household, the small ones matter too, like watching our favorite shows on TV together. I’m not watching the news as much, and we have a couple of shows we share — no video-infidelity in this family! We honor our commitments to each other, and nothing gets in the way of that. 5. Doing things together. We do almost everything together, and that makes life more fulfilling for us, even doing tax prep. She sits next to me while I grind through the paperwork. It’s still frustrating as hell, but her presence makes it easier to deal with anything that I find distasteful. If you’re living on your own, possibly working alone at home, make sure that you get out every day, even if it’s just for a walk to your local café for a cup of takeout coffee. Spending time with others, even if you’re all wearing a mask,

is important. 6. Being kind to each other. We have never had much conflict. Yes, we have spats, but we don’t hold grudges, and we never insult each other or become harsh. We are both mature enough to know that this will only erode the relationship, not allow it to bloom. You can weather almost any conflict with a friend or your partner if you have a shared commitment to kindness. 7. Being each other’s audience. I’m a huge fan of my wife, and she’s my best groupie. These days, when I play guitar, she is my only audience. Every now and then, she takes out her phone while I’m playing and waves it in the air like I’m giving a concert. If someone you care about wants to share, know that a little applause goes a long way. If you are listening, learning and making healthy decisions, you will get through the delta variant and whatever comes next. If you are lucky enough to be part of a good support structure, take pride in that and honor your connection, it really helps with the difficulties of life on all levels. If you are doing this alone, at the very least know that you are not in it alone and you can, when you are ready, reach out. Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., LMFT, is an award-winning therapist and writer.

Veterans, internees sought for retroactive diploma program

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The Santa Barbara County Education Office is seeking veterans and internees for its retroactive high school diploma program. The program awards diplomas to veterans or individuals who were interned in relocation camps across the U.S. during World War and unable to complete their high school education. Between the 1940s and ’70s, thousands of students left high school to serve in the U.S. military. And more than 100,000 individuals were interned in the relocation camps. Veterans and internees can get diplomas from the Santa Barbara County Education Office through the Operation Recognition program. SBCEO and the county Board of Education invites them to apply for their diplomas and participate in the April 7 graduation ceremony. People may apply posthumously

for deceased family members who meet the criteria. “We are honored to recognize the service and sacrifice of these individuals by presenting them with their diplomas,” said Dr. Susan Salcido, the Santa Barbara County superintendent of schools. “In 2019, six distinguished veterans received their high school diplomas, and we look forward to celebrating the Class of 2022.” Under the California Education Code, the following people are eligible for the program: • Veterans who served during World War II from Dec. 7, 1941, to Dec. 31, 1946; the Korean War from June 27, 1950, to Jan. 31, 1955; or the Vietnam War, from Feb. 28, 1961, to May 7, 1975; and were honorably discharged. • Individuals who were interned in a relocation camp from Sept. 16, 1940, to Dec. 31, 1946. All participants must have been enrolled in a high school before enlistment or internment and been unable to receive their diploma due to their enlistment or

internment, according to a news release. Interested individuals may apply through Jan. 14. For an application, go to www. sbceo.org/cms/lib/CA50000560/ Centricity/Domain/12/OR22-e. pdf. For a Spanish version of that application, go to /www.sbceo.org/ cms/lib/CA50000560/Centricity/ Domain/12/OR22-sp.pdf. If you need help with the required military service documentation, contact the Santa Barbara County Veterans Service Office at 805-681-4500 or 805-3467160. Completed applications may be emailed to vcantella@sbceo.org or mailed to the Santa Barbara County Education Office, Attn: Valerie Cantella, P.O. Box 6307, Santa Barbara 93160-6307.

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

LIBRA — Daydreams and fantasies about faraway lands and exotic places might have you thinking about dropping everything and taking off for a while. You aren’t usually impulsive, Libra, but today you feel restless. If you have no obligations, and if weather permits, go someplace where you can experience a change of scenery. We all need it from time to time. SCORPIO — Sudden demands on your resources by others may have you feeling used. You may be asked for a loan. Your doubts about the person’s ability to repay might conflict with your sympathy for his or her situation. Your intuition is good today, Scorpio, so use it to read the true motives of those asking for favors. Grant only the ones you feel are appropriate. SAGITTARIUS — Melancholy that doesn’t seem to have any basis in reality may plague you today, causing friends, family, and your partner to worry. On days like this, Sagittarius, it’s best not to give in to gloom, but rather to throw yourself into work and projects you love. Even though you may not feel like socializing, the company of others can get your mind back on track. CAPRICORN — Today, Capricorn, you may feel out of sorts. You probably aren’t ill, but you may be tired. You could also suffer from vague aches and pains that are most likely related to stress. Take the day off and relax. Soak in a tub and read a book. Your imagination is working overtime and you need to get your mind off your malaise. Fantasy novels may be your best bet! AQUARIUS — Strange, exciting, and vivid dreams may inspire your creativity today. You might want to try a new art form or study the works of innovators. Romance and sex are especially important to you, Aquarius, though insecurities about a partner may restrain you from expressing your feelings. Take a chance - let the person know what you need right now. Your friend may be pleasantly surprised. PISCES — Concerns about your home or mother may mean you have to deal with some rather unpleasant or untrustworthy people. Lack of knowledge could have you in a quandary about how to address the situation. It would be a good idea to prepare by gathering all the facts you might need. Stay centered and focused, Pisces, and use your inner strength to hold out for the best for all concerned.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Juicy but perhaps unkind gossip might reach you today. You may doubt the motives of a close friend. Examine any tips you receive and ascertain the true facts before you accept it as truth. Much of the information is likely to be wrong. Your imagination is flying high, so you might want to try writing or drawing. TAURUS — Money matters may seem vague today, Taurus. Uncertainty about how to manage your affairs might plague you throughout the day. Planning for the immediate future could also be difficult. You may be expecting some funds that may not come yet, or you might not be certain if you need to make a specific purchase. Keep occupied. You can’t rush it, and obsessing does no good. GEMINI — Troubles in the family may have you toying with the idea of moving or at least making some changes in your household. Someone close to you hasn’t been honest with you, Gemini, and that also has you feeling a bit down. Kick around as many ideas as you can, but don’t make any decisions today. It isn’t the time. Wait until you’re in a more positive and optimistic state of mind. CANCER — Your intuition and imagination are operating at a very high level today, and you may be inspired to write. However, you aren’t likely to have enough ideas or information to actually put pen to paper. There’s no rush, though. Take some time to allow the ideas to crystallize and set them down later. Someone in a bad mood may draw you into a quarrel. Brush it off and say you’re busy! LEO — There may be doubt about the outcome of a project that means a lot to you. It may involve financial problems or lack the support from others that you require in order to complete it. Your doubts are most likely groundless, Leo, but it doesn’t hurt to hedge your bets a little and seek what you need elsewhere. This is likely to be a temporary delay. All signs indicate success. VIRGO — Your mind might be on power struggles that have caused quarrels among your friends, placing you in an uncomfortable position. Conflicting loyalties might come up when others draw you into the fray, Virgo. Stay out of it! You could get angry, and this wouldn’t do you any good. Think of something else until you calm down and regain your perspective.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

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.

T.S. No. 090989-CA APN: 065-062-008 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 3/27/2003. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER On 9/29/2021 at 1:00 PM, CLEAR RECON CORP, as duly appointed trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded 4/2/2003 as Instrument No. 2003-0040500 of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Santa Barbara County, State of CALIFORNIA executed by: ELVIRA AVINA MARTINEZ, A MARRIED WOMAN WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER’S CHECK DRAWN ON A STATE OR NATIONAL BANK, A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE; AT THE NORTH DOOR OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE, 1100 ANACAPA ST., SANTA BARBARA, CA 93101 all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State described as: MORE FULLY DESCRIBED ON SAID DEED OF TRUST The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 5218 MONO DRIVE, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93111 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $504,940.13 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 090989-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 090989-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
