Gas prices hit record high every day for past two weeks

Newsom warns of mandatory water restrictions amid drought By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – California could enact mandatory water restrictions to combat the current drought if conservation efforts at the local level do not result in significant statewide water reduction over the summer, Gov. Gavin Newsom warned Monday. The warning came after the governor met with leaders from the state’s largest urban water suppliers Monday to urge them to take more aggressive measures to address the state’s drought and encourage their customers to participate in water conservation. Last July, Gov. Newsom called on state residents to voluntarily slash water usage by 15%. The state has come up short on that goal, however, with water usage in March increasing by 19% compared to March 2020, the Associated Press reported. California’s drought continues to rage. During a news conference in Los Angeles last week, state water officials said that California experienced the

(The Center Square) – Gas prices have soared to new heights this month with the price of unleaded regular gas hitting a record high every day for the past two weeks. With Memorial Day weekend approaching, motorists face steep costs if they plan to travel. According to AAA, the national average regular unleaded gas price Tuesday came in at $4.60, a record high. Diesel gasoline is at $5.55 per gallon, just below the record set last week. “The national average for a gallon of gas has not fallen for nearly a month. Gasoline has either remained flat or risen every day since April 24 and has set a new record daily since May 10,” the group said. “That was the day gas eclipsed the previous record high of $4.33, set earlier this year on March 11. The national average for a gallon of gasoline is now $4.59 and all 50 states are above $4 per gallon.” In California, the average price of a gallon of gasoline was $6.07 Tuesday, highest in the U.S., while in Santa Barbara County, the average was $6.04. Motorists in the states of Hawaii ($5.40 a gallon), Nevada ($5.25), Washington ($5.21), Alaska ($5.19) and Oregon ($5.16) are paying more than $5 a gallon, on average. In the Midwest, Illinois stands apart with gas at an average of $4.97 a gallon. Motorist’s in Illinois neighbors Iowa and Missouri are paying $4.16 a gallon. These prices have been a pain point for Americans, many of whom are struggling to make ends meet. The rise has also drawn fresh criticism for the Biden

administration’s energy policies, which include stopping new oil leases and pipeline development. “They’re causing you pain at the pump because it’s all part of their radical agenda,” Republican Whip Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., said. The Russian invasion of Ukraine helped propel the rise of prices, but energy prices had already been on a significant rise long before the February invasion.

The West Coast Kustoms 41st Annual Cruisin’ Nationals will take place during Memorial Day weekend in Santa Maria. Set for Friday through Sunday, the event includes the “City Cruise” and car show at the Santa Maria Fairpark, which showcases hundreds of classic cars. The event kicks off on Friday with a Hall of Fame Member dinner at the Historic Santa Maria Inn. The dinner is followed by a “City Cruise” down Broadway from 7 to 9 p.m. Attendees must pre-register to participate. On Saturday and Sunday, the event will take place in Santa Maria Fairpark. Tickets cost $20 for general admission, and $15 for seniors 60 and older and active military. Children are

admitted for free. Discount tickets are available at O’Reilly Auto Parts. The event will feature Kustom Kulture Art Show: a live music, multiple commercial vendors and food booths, the rollerskating rink, and automotive swap meet on Sunday only from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. The model car show ends with an award ceremony on Sunday afternoon. Rick and Penny Pichette, event originators and previous owners of The Jet Drive-In, in Sunnymead, started this event in 1981 to showcase classic American-made cars — 1965 and earlier. Over the past 40 years, it has grown to one of the largest classic cars shows in California and has moved location only three times in its long history, according to a news release. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

The most recent federal data on the consumer price index, a leading measure of inflation, showed energy prices soared in the past year. “The all items index increased 8.3 percent for the 12 months ending April, a smaller increase than the 8.5-percent figure for the period ending in March,” BLS said. “The all items less food and energy index rose 6.2 percent over

driest January, February and March on record, adding that there is growing evidence that this drought is a continuation of the previous drought in 20122015. “Every water agency across the state needs to take more aggressive actions to communicate about the drought emergency and implement conservation measures,” Gov. Newsom said on Monday. “Californians made significant changes since the last drought but we have seen an uptick in water use, especially as we enter the summer months. We all have to be more thoughtful about how to make every drop count.” During the state’s last drought in 2015, then-Gov. Jerry Brown ordered a mandatory 25% reduction in water use. Gov. Newsom, however, has veered away from introducing a sweeping “one size fits all” approach to water conservation and has instead favored keeping conservation mandates at the local level. In March, an executive order signed by Gov. Newsom directed the State Water Resources Control Board to consider a ban on the irrigation of decorative grass outside of industrial and commercial buildings. The governor also asked the board to consider an emergency regulation requiring urban water suppliers to move to Level 2 in their Water Shortage Contingency Plans, which implements conservation measures to prepare for a water shortage of up to 20%. Level 2 conservation actions typically include measures like limiting outdoor watering to certain days or hours and enforcing prohibitions on water use, though each water district sets Please see WATER on A3

U.S. Sens. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., and Ben Ray Luján, D-New Mexico, are leading a coalition of senators to introduce the National Wildland Fire Risk Reduction Program Act. The bill is designed to identify and invest in research and development, set up warning and forecast systems, and develop observation and sensing technologies. It is also intended to standardize data collection efforts to improve the nation’s preparedness for and response to wildfires. In 2020, the U.S. tied its most active wildfire year on record, with 10.1 million acres burned, according to a news release. Since the National Interagency Fire Center began compiling data in 1983, the average annual land area scorched by wildfires has more than tripled, coinciding with a steady increase in annual temperature and exacerbated by the West’s worsening drought, according to the news release. California has seen the seven largest fires in the state’s history in the last four years.

Collectively, these devastating fires have burned more than 2.5 million acres of land and destroyed or damaged over 30,000 structures. In severe cases, wildfires have been responsible for the destruction of entire California communities. “The National Wildland Fire Risk Reduction Program Act will allow our nation’s science agencies to leverage their vast expertise to better forecast potential fires, monitor fires once they ignite, and provide critical data to first responders,” Sen. Padilla said in a statement. “This is a commonsense approach to help us stay one step ahead of wildfires and help prevent catastrophic losses that we’ve become too familiar with during fire seasons.” In addition to Sens. Padilla and Luján, the bill is co-sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and senators from New Mexico, Washington state, Oregon and Nevada.

The Santa Barbara City Council voted Tuesday to make the 400 block of Anacapa Street two ways. The council also accepted an update on the 2016 Bicycle Master Plan. The council approved an addendum that includes updated maps showing existing, funded and proposed bike facilities since the plan was adopted. And council members agreed to accept a $100,000 state grant to start a teen internship program at the Santa Barbara Public Library. The meeting at City Hall largely focused on a consent calendar, items that require little discussion such as those listed above. A consent calendar allows the council to approve a list of items with one motion and without extensive discussion. But there was some discussion on one consent calendar item: Anacapa Street. One Santa Barbara resident and businessman spoke against the proposed change, which would make Anacapa Street two ways in the 400 block. “Some of the businesses would be negatively

impacted,” Jed Hazard told the council, speaking remotely from another location. “I beg you guys to leave the road as it’s been.” With the change, Anacapa remains one way between Haley and Mission streets. That means motorists going in the “wrong” direction from the 400 block will have to turn onto Haley Street. “I believe we’ll end up with a lot of head-on accidents from this,” Mr. Hazard said. Mr. Hazard also noted two-way traffic would pose problems for delivery trucks that require both lanes as they load and unload. After listening to his comments, the city council approved the street change as part of its vote in favor of the entire consent calendar. The city reportedly had considered the Anacapa Street change as a means of improving traffic flow and giving motorists more options. The same vote on the consent calendar also meant the council: • Authorized the library director to enter into an agreement with Family Service Agency of Santa Barbara in the amount of $134,938 to provide support services and outreach to homeless individuals.

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Man pleads guilty to enticing 10-year-old girl LOS ANGELES — A former Oxnard resident pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal charges for using Instagram to entice a 10year-old girl into sending him sexually explicit pictures of herself. Barry Bryant Rossman, 62, who now resides in Santa Rosa, pleaded guilty on what would have been the first day of his trial to all three charges pending against him: one count of production of child pornography, one count of enticement of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity and one count of receipt of child pornography. According to court documents in late December of 2019 and early January 2020, Mr. Rossman, 60, at the time posed as “Ben,” purportedly a 21-year-old man, and used the Instagram account “itsben6969” to contact the victim — a 10-year-old girl in Colorado. When Mr. Rossman first reached out to the victim, he pretended to have a 13-year-old brother who had taken his phone and contacted the victim, the

federal Department of Justice said in a news release. Mr. Rossman engaged in conversation with the victim, using flattery and discussing topics such as Christmas gifts. In the following days, the conversations with the victim became increasingly sexually explicit, according to the Department of Justice. The department said Mr. Rossman convinced the victim to send him sexually exploitative photographs of herself. After Mr. Rossman and the victim exchanged photographs, videos and messages, Mr. Rossman instructed the victim to delete her messages, claiming that his little brother might get into his Instagram account. Mr. Rossman said he did not want his little brother “loving” the photos like he did. Shortly thereafter, the victim’s mother discovered the messages on her daughter’s phone and called the police. In May 2020, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Mr. Rossman’s residence in Oxnard and found evidence linking his iPhone to the Instagram account used to contact the victim, the Department of Justice reported. U.S. District Judge Stanley

Blumenfeld Jr. scheduled an Aug. 23 sentencing hearing, at which time Mr. Rossman will face a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in federal prison and a statutory maximum sentence of life imprisonment. The FBI and the Erie (Colo.) Police Department investigated this matter. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Chelsea Norell and Kathy Yu of the Violent and Organized Crime Section.

Carbajal responds to Texas school shooting By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal has responded to the shooting Tuesday at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, where more than a dozen students and a teacher were shot and killed. “I am horrified and heartbroken at the news coming out of Uvalde today,” Rep. Carbajal, DSanta Barbara, said Tuesday in a statement. “This unspeakable act of senseless violence adds Robb Elementary School to the too-long of a list of schools scarred by America’s gun violence epidemic: one that includes Sandy Hook, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, Columbine and our own UCSB. Eight years ago, it was

Santa Barbara. Today, it is Uvalde. Tomorrow, it could be kids in another classroom anywhere in America. “Indeed, this was already our 27th school shooting this year,” Rep. Carbajal said. “How many more children have to die before those who have failed to stand on the side of common sense gun violence prevention realize that these deaths are not just tragic because of their horrendous nature? They are tragic because, for too long, these violent acts have happened while additional steps to prevent them have languished in Congress and our legislatures.” Rep. Carbajal is the author of the Extreme Risk Protection Order Act, which would set up

“Red Flag” laws to disarm individuals who show signs of hurting themselves or others. Rep. Carbajal is also a co-sponsor of the Bipartisan Background Checks Act and the Enhanced Background Checks Act, which are intended to strengthen background checks for gun purchases nationwide. He is also an advocate for the restoration of the federal assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004. It was eight years ago Monday that Elliott Rodger, 22, killed six people in Isla Vista and injured 14 others before killing himself. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Newsom signs bill reforming medical malpractice awards By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law on Monday that raises limits on the amount of money patients can win in some medical malpractice cases, avoiding a likely ballot initiative in November. Gov. Newsom signed Assembly Bill 35 on Monday, which increases existing caps for noneconomic damages in medical negligence cases. Under existing law, the amount of money patients could win in these cases for noneconomic damages was capped at $250,000. Under the new law, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2023, the limit is increased to $350,000 for nondeath cases and $500,000 for wrongful death cases. Over the next decade, there would be incremental increases to raise the limits to $750,000 for non-death cases and $1 million for wrongful death cases. A 2% annual inflationary adjustment would apply starting in 2034. No groups opposed the measure as it wound its way through the Legislature. However, the Union

of American Physicians and Dentists voiced opposition to the bill, saying it “would increase health care costs for working families while raising the cost of medical malpractice insurance premiums beyond that which most physicians in private practice and small groups simply can afford.” Other opponents of the bill also voiced concern about the law increasing malpractice insurance rates for practicing doctors, dentists and other licensed medical professionals. “MICRA was one of the rare medical regulations that was good in California,” Jeffrey I. Barke, M.D., co-founder Personal Concierge Physicians, said in an email to The Center Square. “This will further give docs on the fence a reason to move out of CA or retire early. But, this will certainly make the trial lawyers very happy.” Interest in reforming the state’s Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act (MICRA) has spanned decades, and Gov. Newsom’s signature on the AB 35 avoids what could have been a costly fight at the ballot box in November. An already-qualified ballot initiative proposed tying the limits to

inflation, but proponents of the ballot initiative announced they withdrew the measure from the ballot as a result of Gov. Newsom’s signature. “After decades of negotiations, legislators, patient groups, and medical professionals have reached a consensus that protects patients and the stability of our health care system,” Gov. Newsom said in a statement on Monday. The law also makes changes to the contingency fees an attorney can collect when representing a person seeking damages in medical malpractice cases. Existing law places limits on how much an attorney can collect in contingency fees, but this new legislation “ties tiered fee limits to the stage of the representation at which the amount is recovered,” according to the governor’s office. Scott Olsen, a board member for Consumer Watchdog and proponent of the ballot initiative, had agreed to withdraw the measure from the ballot if Gov. Newsom signed the bill into law before June 29. Mr. Olsen, whose son was harmed by medical negligence in the 1990’s, said Monday that while “it is too late for my family

to benefit from this change, at least others won’t have to endure the same suffering ours did three decades ago.” “This historic agreement was only possible because so many families, like mine, decided to repeatedly stand up and demand change after the malpractice cap denied them justice,” Mr. Olsen said in a statement, according to a news release from Consumer Watchdog. The bill won support from the majority of lawmakers in both chambers of the State Legislature, as well as more than 30 organizations that registered in support, including California Medical Association and the Consumer Attorneys of California. Both groups praised Gov. Newsom for signing the legislation on Monday. “California’s new modernized MICRA statutes will provide predictability and affordability of medical liability insurance rates for decades to come, while protecting existing safeguards against skyrocketing health care costs,” California Medical Association President Robert E.

(The Center Square) – Delegates from 194 countries, led by the United States, are expected this week to vote to relinquish their respective country’s sovereignty and grant autonomous power to the World Health Organization over international health events. They are expected to approve amendments proposed by the Biden administration to the International Health Regulations (2005) treaty that “defines countries’ rights and obligations in handling public health events and emergencies that have the potential to cross borders.” The IHR amendments legally authorize the WHO to order international lockdowns and mandates, require countries to report citizen data, including their DNA and other information, and collect this information, in part to restrict travel. Delegates convened this week at the 75th World Health Assembly, the legislative body of the World Health Organization at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. At the assembly, the U.S. delegate expressed support for the new surveillance system, saying changes to the IHR would “improve the global health architecture systems and tools to prevent, prepare and respond to the next pandemic. Improving and modernizing IHR is critical to ensuring the world is better prepared for and can respond to the next pandemic. The United States of America looks forward to working with member states to move forward on this important issue strengthening our collective ability to prevent, detect and respond to future pandemics.” The amendments changed the time period for when countries can opt out to change their vote to six months from when the amendments are adopted. Once approved, they would become effective in November 2022 – after the U.S. midterm elections and before new members of Congress are sworn in. The adoption of the amendments doesn’t

require approval of two-thirds of the U.S. Senate. Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver argues the amendments are another example of the lawlessness of the Biden administration. “The proposed amendments would give the WHO global jurisdiction over the United States to declare health emergencies,” he said in a statement. The Orlando-based religious liberty organization has consistently fought Biden administration mandates in court and won. “We have already seen the lawless abuse of power under Joe Biden by the Centers for Disease Control, which the courts have fortunately blocked. Americans would have very little recourse against the WHO,” Mr. Staver added. “The WHO has sovereign immunity, and an international court in The Hague would not consider the constitutional rights of Americans. America must not give up its sovereignty to the WHO. These amendments must be withdrawn immediately.” The Biden administration submitted the amendments without notifying Congress, without issuing an official statement or holding a news conference, Mr. Staver noted. In early 2020, Americans first heard from the White House: “two weeks to slow the spread” of the coronavirus. President Donald Trump declared a national emergency and state governors subsequently issued lockdowns. More than two years later, the lockdowns have since proven to be ineffective in preventing the spread of the coronavirus or any other disease. Instead, they contributed to patients not having access to preventative treatments, critical care for cancer and other patients, increased suicides and worsening mental health issues, significant learning gaps in educational outcomes, widespread employment losses, and increased national debt, critics contend. Now, the White House has proposed giving the WHO authority to impose global lockdowns and relinquishing U.S. sovereignty in the process. Doing so, the UN argues in its report,

“Covid-19: Make It the Last Pandemic,” is because the global body could have prevented the spread of the coronavirus if the WHO had control over all independent country responses. It states, “In its current form, the WHO does not possess such powers …To move on with the treaty, WHO therefore needs to be empowered – financially, and politically… The treaty should possess an adaptable incentive regime, [including] sanctions such as public reprimands, economic sanctions, or denial of benefits.” According to the WHO, the IHR would require global surveillance and a digital health passport to be able to legally travel. It states the regulations “are an instrument of international law that is legally-binding on 196 countries, including the 194 WHO Member States. … They create rights and obligations for countries, including the requirement to report public health events. The Regulations also outline the criteria to determine whether or not a particular event constitutes a ‘public health emergency of international concern.’” It requires countries “to designate a National IHR Focal Point for communications with WHO, to establish and maintain core capacities for surveillance and response, including at designated points of entry. Additional provisions address the areas of international travel and transport such as the health documents required for international traffic.” According to the amendments, in Article 6, when the WHO informs a country that it poses a “potential risk of a public health emergency’” it is required to hand over public health information of its citizens, including “‘genetic sequence data”’ within 48 hours. As of March 31, 2020, the U.S. gave the most money to the WHO. By July 2020, Mr. Trump formally withdrew the U.S. from the WHO. President Biden reinstated U.S. membership in the WHO and led the charge to implement global health surveillance through international law.

Analysts say prices aren’t expected to come down anytime soon GAS

Continued from Page A1 place that, God willing, when it’s over we’ll be stronger, and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over,” President Biden said. “It’s bad. The price of gas at the pump … it’s affecting a lot of families.” But those comments sparked blowback from critics who said Mr. Biden seemed to be saying these prices are a new normal and necessary part of transitioning away from

fossil fuels. “Joe Biden finally said the truth out loud: the record high gas prices crippling America right now are on purpose,” Power The Future Founder and Executive Director Daniel Turner said in a Tuesday statement. “President Biden’s ability to bring our country to its knees in less than two years has been nothing short of extraordinary. Joe Biden knows that only by crippling the fossil fuel industry will he usher in the radical green agenda he so desires, and if that means causing incredible pain to American families and the overall economy, it’s a casualty he can

live with.” With the start of the summer travel season this weekend, analysts say prices aren’t coming down anytime soon. “As Americans struggle to make ends meet thanks to his raging inflation, [President Joe Biden] celebrates their suffering,” U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., said. “Biden is incompetent and incoherent, but he’s made one thing very clear: he couldn’t care less about the problems he’s caused for your family.” News-Press Associate Editor Matt Smolensky contributed to this report.

UCSB wraps up first year environmental data program Students from UCSB’s first cohort of the Master of Environmental Data Science program will present their capstone projects Thursday. The public is invited to this inaugural event, which will take place from 1 to 5 p.m. at Bren Hall 1414. It will be livestreamed. MEDS aims to prepare scientists for the new wave of data-driven research and environmental problem solving. The program is a joint effort between UCSB’s Bren School of Environmental Science & Management and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis. The students arrived in August for a six-week intensive session

on scientific programming at NCEAS’ new downtown location. All 25 students came with environmental backgrounds but varying levels of programming proficiency. The next three quarters of courses were split between the downtown and main campuses, with half the week at NCEAS and the other half in Bren Hall. During the winter quarter, the students split into seven groups to begin their capstone projects. Because of the focus on data science and a shorter 1-year program, many of this year’s teams focused on data visualization. Half of the 2022 class graduating class has secured post-graduate positions, which include jobs, fellowships and spots in doctoral programs.

Khatamova split the early games in the first set, but couldn’t keep up with Hamner, who won it 6-2, 6-1 to advance to the next round. This concludes another incredible and historical season for the Gauchos. - Daniel Moebus-Bowles

‘What’s Your Solvang Story?’ Video campaign targets six different visitor experiences

Pastries keep everyone in a sweet mood in Solvang.

Solvang has debuted the first in a series of travel-related advertising videos under a new campaign, “What’s Your Solvang Story?” The video series displays Solvang through the lens of six marketing buckets — friend adventures, family-friendly escapes, girls’ getaways, art and architecture seekers, travel with pets, and those interested in food and drink experiences. “Solvang is a special California destination with truly unique, Old World charms. With that in mind, we wanted to highlight what the

statue perched atop a bubbling fountain, a one-third replica of Copenhagen’s Rundetårn (Round Tower) and a smaller-scale, dragon-tailed spire fashioned after the tower of Copenhagen’s Old Stock Exchange,” Ms. Shaw said. “The town also features four whimsical windmills all located within minutes of each other if exploring on foot, and each one (is) favored for photo opportunities.” Produced in the fall of 2021 and filmed entirely on location, the videos in the series present some only-found-in Solvang scenes in a visual style that stands apart from other California destination tourism content. “The city boasts five authentic Danish bakeries, must-dos of most any Solvang visit, as well as five museums, which display artifacts ranging from Viking age weaponry to Solvang’s more contemporary beginnings, to mixed media art exhibits, to the telling of the life and times of Denmark’s famed fairy tale scribe, Hans Christian Andersen,” said Ms. Shaw. “Dog-friendly and ideal for kids, Solvang, known for its DanishAmerican vibe, Scandinavian architecture and design details, pastries, bakeries and plentiful wine tasting options, also boasts dozens upon dozens of unique boutiques, restaurants and gourmet food purveyors,” she continued. “Carefullycurated indie bookstores, highend stationers and home goods suppliers, mingle with fairy tale-

like children’s boutiques and museum gift shops.” “Solvang’s numerous foodie havens offer up everything from elevated street cuisine, like locally-sourced fish tacos on handmade tortillas and comforting ramen noodles to European-style pretzels and sausages, to Italian standbys or iconic Danish dishes, to elevated new-Californian fare in the form of Michelinhonored menus, to heritage grain sourdough loaves or limited edition cheese releases, to smallbatch, locally-roasted coffee, exotic and familiar hand-bottled spice blends, to Tiki cocktails and craft beers, all forming an indulgent, warm-weather shopping and playing escape.” Solvang, founded in 1911 by Danish settlers, retains its European-inspired roots and culture, which are showcased throughout the walkable village via half-timber architecture, quaint streets and courtyards, and on the more modern side, examples of sleek Scandinavian design. “We believe that the fresh approach in this video series distinguishes Solvang as a place unto itself and well worth a visit when considering California stay and play destinations,” Ms Shaw said. “When competing for attention on social media and other avenues, breaking through the noise means captivating with compelling visuals that speak with a clear voice, stand out from the Please see SOLVANG on B2

SBCC’s Cameron Black receives Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

When the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation announced the recipients for its highly competitive Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship on May 12, one Santa Barbara City College student appeared on the list: Cameron Black. Mr. Black, who majored in both psychology and communications, was also an SBCC student government officer committed to nurturing equity and inclusion within the SBCC community. “Today, almost half of all college students begin their academic career at a community college,” said Seppy Basili, executive director of the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. “We know our community colleges are full of high-achieving students, and we’re committed to playing our part to ensure those students succeed. Congratulations to a cohort of students who have persisted in the midst of such unprecedented disruptions in our lives.” Hailing originally from a small town in Idaho, Mr. Black’s challenges included an abusive childhood environment, which prompted him to make his way to Santa Barbara in 2020 to live with his uncle and his uncle’s partner, whom he calls “Soul Mama.” Inspired by the two of them to earn his GED and enroll at SBCC through the SBCC Promise, he achieved a 4.0 GPA his first semester, which he maintained throughout all four semesters at SBCC, according to a news release from SBCC. As the student government’s vice president of internal affairs, Mr. Black was praised by Allegra Kabukapua Kalombo, the president, for being “a straightup leader and someone always available to help. He knows what he wants in life and where he wants to be in the future. I admire his capacity to overcome adversity and use that as fuel to achieve greater things.” Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholars will receive comprehensive educational advising to guide them through the process of transitioning to a four-year college and preparing

for their careers. Along with financial support, the scholars will also receive opportunities for internships, study abroad and graduate school funding, as well as connection to a thriving network of more than 3,000 Cooke Scholars and alumni. In a recent interview, Mr. Black expressed his gratitude and appreciation for the support he received from SBCC and for the honor of receiving the Cooke Undergraduate Scholarship. “Less than a month before the application deadline, my mentor and friend Joyce Coleman, vice president of SBCC’s School of Extended Learning, encouraged me to apply for the nationally prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship. I spent the next three weeks absorbed in the extensive application process, and here I am today, utterly speechless. “I cannot express enough gratitude, appreciation and love for the amazing support I have received from the SBCC community and beyond. I would say that receiving the Jack

Kent Cooke Scholarship is a dream come true — but it isn’t. To be honest, in my wildest dreams I never imagined I could accomplish what I have today, and I am honored to be awarded this extraordinary scholarship. “Coming from a challenging childhood of abuse and living on the streets, it hasn’t been easy. I have pushed more limits than I thought were possible, all with a lot of support and love from the amazing people in my life. Without the financial support from the SBCC Foundation’s Promise Program Scholarship, I would have never been able to pursue a college education. I am so grateful and do not take the opportunity for granted.” Mr. Black said he was also honored to find out “that I have been accepted to continue my education at Stanford University. I am beyond excited to continue my journey to make an impact in the areas of child abuse prevention and child safety advocacy”

received diplomas as Harding University graduates during a commencement ceremony on May 7. Mr. Neal received a doctorate in pharmacy. Harding University is a private Christian, liberal arts university located in Searcy, Ark. It offers

wine region, is surrounded by more familiar stagecoach era imagery and vineyard vistas as well as glorious Spanish Missions and Native American nods to the Chumash tribe, which has called this area home for thousands and thousands of years. But the town of Solvang is an escape all its own due to its Danish details and endearing, cultural quirks. It’s one of those ‘Europe-in-America,’ storybook destinations,” said Mr. Schumake.

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.

and reserved today, Libra. You’ll find that your mind is right in line with your ego, and you’ll be able to accurately verbalize what’s going on inside. You might be guarded about how much you tell people. It could be that others are holding back information from you. Proceed with caution and be honest in all your dealings. Scorpio: Today is an excellent day for you to say exactly how you feel, Scorpio. Your thinking is sharp and clear. You’ll find that once you start talking, you may never stop. People will listen extra carefully to your words. You have a great deal of influence on others. If you realize how much impact you have on the people around you, you’ll be able to accomplish a great deal today. Sagittarius: You might find that your brain is chugging along in the slow lane today, Sagittarius. It could even be gradually creeping over to the breakdown lane! It may be more difficult to come up with your quick, witty rebuttals in conversations. Take your time and make sure you choose your words very carefully. Capricorn: You might find that words aren’t the best way to communicate today, Capricorn. Body language and the sense of touch and taste are much more effective. You’ll find that your senses will be heightened overall. The smell of the restaurant several blocks away could make your taste buds water. Give in to your senses and let your feet follow your nose. Aquarius: Things are apt to get intense for you today, Aquarius. There will be a lot of information coming your way, but it all won’t necessarily be great. It seems that someone is putting a roadblock in your path, making it difficult for you to pass. Don’t let this stop you. Use your creative ability and resolute nature to find ways around any obstacles. Pisces: Your head may be buzzing with activity, Pisces. It seems like the spotlight suddenly has been turned on. Your mind is on stage and your brainpower is being tested. Are you prepared for the challenge? Whether you’re ready or not, it’s here. Remember the importance of individuality. Don’t become another typical cookie from the same old cookie cutter.

Aries: Focus on the simple pleasures today, Aries. Don’t feel like you have to search in faroff lands or engage in expensive recreational activities to find happiness and peace. Realize that everything you need is all inside you. Find your happiness in delighting in nature. Smile at the Sun, the Moon, and the trees. Realize that beauty resides all around you, not just in stores full of expensive objects. Taurus: Focus on your creative mind, Taurus. This is a very fertile time for planting hearty seeds that will be sure to grow up healthy and strong. You have the ability to be very prosperous, but it certainly won’t come easily. The key for you is to maintain your cool. Don’t overreact to the little annoyances that come your way. Gemini: Motivation must come from within, Gemini. The only thing that can pull you out of bed is your inner drive and determination. Too much partying could leave you drained to the point that you don’t want to move. Remember moderation. Be good to your body. Go outside and let your thoughts radiate outward like rays of sunshine. Cancer: Your mind should be quite clear today, and communication will go extremely well for you, Cancer. You’ll find that you’ll need very few words to get your point across. You’ll connect to people on many levels. Realize that you have important information to share with those around you. Leo: Strong forces may be acting up and asking you to stand up a little straighter than usual, Leo. Keep your shoulders back and be proud. Don’t think of yourself as any less of a person just because there is disagreement between you and the people around you. Maintain respect for yourself and your opinions. Virgo: Feel free to take the lazy route today, Virgo. Don’t lift a finger if you don’t really have to. It may be hard to get others moving as well. You can prod all you want, but, ultimately, if people don’t want to go, they aren’t going to. Your flexible nature might be put to the test. More than likely, you’ll find that you need to adapt to the whims of others rather than the other way around. Libra: Your thinking is steady

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 06/16/2022 at Time: 9:00 AM, in Dept.: 5, located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101; PO Box 21107, Santa Barbara, CA 93121-1107, Anacapa Division. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petitioner: DAVID G.

On June 22, 2022 at 10:00 AM, At the Main Entrance to the County Courthouse, Santa Barbara County Courthouse, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on October 18, 2005 as Instrument No. 2005-0101237, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Santa Barbara County, California, executed by DAVID A VORBECK, AND THALIA K VORBECK, HUSBAND AND WIFE AS COMMUNITY PROPERTY, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 963 CHELTENHAM RD, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93105-2235 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $581,851.73 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a 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 California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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 Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address www.Auction. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000142-15-4. 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 800.280.2832, or visit this internet website www.Auction. com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000142-15-4 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.
