Gas prices hit new high — again Nation sees second consecutive day of record-breaking prices By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER

Fuel Depot on Calle Real and Fairview Avenue in Goleta on Monday posts prices starting at just under $6 a gallon. On Tuesday, the average in Santa Barbara County was $6.10 a gallon.

(The Center Square) — Gas prices hit another record high Tuesday, the latest in more than a dozen record high days this month. Gas prices had hit record highs every day for two weeks during May before dipping down slightly. Now, with two consecutive record days, another run of record highs may be on the way. The national average price for a gallon of unleaded gasoline topped $4.62, up from an average of $3.05 at the same time last year, according to the American Automobile Association. Every U.S. state is well over

$4 per gallon on average, with several states topping $5, namely Alaska, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. California is the only state to top an average price of $6, with unleaded gas selling for $6.17 in the Golden State. That was also the average in Los Angeles County. The average was $6.10 a gallon Tuesday in Santa Barbara County, according to AAA. Nearby, averages were $6.15 in Ventura County and $6.34 in San Luis Obispo County. Diesel gas prices have been much higher as well, though slightly down from the record set earlier this month. The current national average for diesel gas is

$5.52 per gallon, up from $3.19 per gallon at the same time last year. Americans felt the pain at the pump while traveling for the Memorial Day weekend. Recent polling shows many Americans plan to cancel or modify their summer vacations because of higher prices. Meanwhile, Republicans have blasted President Joe Biden for the prices, saying his policies limiting oil drilling and pipeline development are to blame. “Reminder — soaring gas prices are a direct result of Joe Biden’s anti-energy agenda,” said Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y. News-Press Managing Editor Dave Mason contributed to this report.

Cold Coast Brewing Co. recently opened at 118 W. Ocean Ave. in Lompoc.

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Cold Coast Brewing Co. has seen a strong amount of business since its recent opening in Lompoc. That’s according to one of its partners, Mike Lamping, who talked to the NewsPress about the new brewery and its emphasis on a family environment. “It’s been great. The city and the community has shown out in force,” Mr. Lamping told the News-Press. “A lot of new people are from out of town. They like the environment so they come back.” Cold Coast was featured May 7 at the Buellton Brew Fest, and that led to much of the new brewery’s out-of-town business. Cold Coast Brewing Co.

opened May 20 at 118 W. Ocean Ave. In addition to Mr. Lamping, the brewery is owned by business partners Eric Oviatt, Jason Drew and David Caro. The business was “sparked from a true passion for the art of brewing,” according to its website (coldcoastbrewing.com). Mr. Lamping spoke to what makes their establishment unique. “The open space and the family environment, where you can bring the kids. We have board games, card games, table games, a version of shuffleboard and good beer. Families come in with their kids.” Because Cold Coast is not currently licensed to prepare and sell food on-site, the Please see BREWERY on A4

The new Lompoc brewery is known for its craft beers.

Michele Weslander Quaid said she is finding a lot of support from people across the political spectrum as she campaigns for the preservation of American liberties. “Overall, people still value the U.S. constitution and individual liberty, and they’re concerned about that being threatened right now,” Ms. Weslander Quaid, a candidate for the 24th Congressional District, told the News-Press. The Santa Barbara resident is running in the June 7 primary as an independent against U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara; Republican candidate Brad Allen of Summerland and independent candidate Jeff Frankenfield of Santa Barbara. If elected, she plans to caucus with the Republicans in the House. Since announcing her candidacy in March, Ms. Weslander Quaid, 52, has been critical of COVID-19 restrictions and other limitations that the government has put on individual liberty. “If you’re a parent who shows up at a school board meeting, concerned about what your children are being taught, you’re labeled a domestic terrorist,” Ms. Weslander Quaid said. “We’ve gone from political correctness to cancel culture to labeling people as terrorists if parents dare to speak up or if citizens dare to hold their government accountable.” And Ms. Weslander Quaid pointed out the pandemic’s lockdowns and their impact on local businesses. “The pandemic crushed the middle class,” she said.

Michele Weslander Quaid said she’s running for Congress to preserve America’s liberty.

“Businesses that were there for decades didn’t reopen. People had to move out of the area.” Ms. Weslander Quaid also criticized the federal government for overspending, which she noted is increasing the national debt and damaging the economy. “We are spending more than our gross national product,” Ms. Weslander Quaid. “That’s a national security problem. Who owns our debt? “It’s also a moral problem because we’re saddling future generations with a debt they can never repay,” she said. “The government is printing money and devaluing the dollar.” She noted inflation is now at a 40-year high. “People think of gas prices,” she said. “That impacts far more than gas. It impacts the entire supply chain. It impacts every aspect of our life.” Ms. Weslander Quaid, who favors lower taxes and limited government, is endorsed by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer Please see QUAID on B4

in a 49-22 vote last week and now moves on to the Senate. Supporters of the bill say a mail-in ballot option is necessary for farmworkers who often face intimidation from supervisors and forepersons to vote against unionizing. Under the existing Agricultural Labor Relations Act, union elections are required to take place onsite and typically occur at a grower’s property, which supporters of AB 2183 say leads to outside influence when it comes time to vote. Roman Pinal, organizing director with the United Farm Workers, told The Center

Square in April that “creating an environment that reduces intimidation is very appealing for farm workers who’d like to unionize.” In addition to allowing mail-in voting, the bill would also allow a labor organization to obtain an employee list with names and contact information after providing written notice of an intention to organize workers. Employers would be required to respond with an employee list or written arguments against providing a list within five days. If an employer fails to respond, they could be fined up to $10,000.

Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a similar measure last year after it passed the Assembly and Senate. In his veto message, Gov. Newsom said the bill contained “various inconsistencies and procedural issues related to the collection and review of ballot cards” that would have run afoul with a 2021 U.S. Supreme Court decision over agricultural unionizing. The bill’s author, Assemblymember Mark Stone, D-Monterey Bay, told lawmakers last week that he has agreed to Please see BILL on A4

SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Police Department arrested four people after finding guns and drugs in what police are calling one of the largest drug seizures, if not the largest, in the department’s history. Within the last month, the department’s Narcotics Unit conducted an investigation involving suspected drug trafficking. Based upon the investigation, detectives obtained a search warrant for the suspects. Around 9:30 p.m. on Friday, detectives, officers and the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office Air Unit served a search warrant near the 3700 block of State Street in Santa Barbara. Sgt. Ethan Ragsdale, the Santa Barbara police’s public information officer, said Narcotics Detectives identified two vehicles as being involved in this criminal activity. Law enforcement officers conducted a traffic stop on both involved vehicles and detained several suspects. When officers conducted a traffic stop on one of the vehicles, they contacted the driver, Viviana Martinez-Perez and passenger, Rachel Delgado-Garcia. Officers immediately noticed a semiautomatic pistol in plain view and easily accessible to MartinezPerez. The occupants were removed from the vehicle and arrested based on probable cause. Inside this vehicle, detectives located 53 pounds of methamphetamine and 1 ounce of fentanyl, Sgt. Ragsdale said. The second vehicle, driven by Titan Nolet, a wanted parolee out of Los Angeles County, with passenger Natali Ontiveros was also stopped in the area. Ms. Ontiveros was on active probation. Sgt. Ragsdale said Ms. Ontiveros was searched per her probation terms and that detectives located two loaded semi-automatic handguns inside her purse. Ms. Ontiveros had recently rented a local hotel room in the 3500 block of State Street. Sgt. Ragsdale said detectives conducted a search of the room that yielded 11 ounces of heroin and other narcotics. The street value of the narcotics

Housing prices surge alongside increasing mortgage rates

By RICHIE MALOUF THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) — Housing prices have increased by 20.55% since March of last year, according to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price NSA Index. S&P calculates its price indices monthly using a three-month moving average. This increase in pricing has happened alongside rising mortgage rates. Mortgage News Daily’s report on the 30-year fixed mortgage rates shows that the average mortgage rate increased from 3.29% in January to 4.78% in March. Arizona and Florida have seen some of the highest price increases in the nation.

According to Zillow, home values in Phoenix have increased by 34.9% over the past year, with the average price of a home at $398,384. Tampa’s home values have gone up 34.9%, with an average home price of $398,384. The current rise in real estate prices coincides with an overall increase in prices across the country due to rising inflation. However, experts say that the Federal Reserve raising interest rates may cause housing prices to fall. “Mortgages are becoming more expensive as the Federal Reserve has begun to ratchet up interest rates,” said Craig Lazzara, managing director at S&P DJI. “Macroeconomic environment may not support extraordinary

home price growth for much longer. Although one can safely predict that price gains will begin to decelerate, the timing of the deceleration is a more difficult call.” Until then, sellers can enjoy selling properties for higher prices, while buyers will have to wait until prices come down if they want to find a better deal. “The rising prices in the real estate market have been absolutely amazing for my sellers,” said Katrina Simmons, a real-estate agent in the greater Los Angeles area. “It is definitely a seller’s market. “One thing for sure and two for certain is that current real estate prices will regress,” she added. “The smart buyer will sit back and wait and be ready so they may acquire a great deal.”

Cruz: U.S. must not react to evil by abandoning its Constitution By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) — The U.S. cannot respond to evil by abandoning the Constitution, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz says. After a teenager shot and killed two teachers and 19 children at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, calls have been made to ban certain types of weapons, including the AR-15 rifle, and impose stricter gun control measures. Sen. Cruz, R-Texas, spoke over the weekend at a long-planned annual NRA conference in Houston, which was protested by apparent supporters of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Robert “Beto” O’Rourke, among others. Mr. O’Rourke ran against Cruz for Senate and lost. Now running against Gov. Greg Abbott, Mr. O’Rourke last week blamed Gov. Abbott and Republicans in the state legislature for the shooting. He also called on Gov. Abbott not to attend the NRA conference. Gov. Abbott, who was slated to speak in person, remained in Uvalde. Video was published on social media of people wearing “Beto” T-shirts standing outside the convention center screaming at attendees as they entered the event and at law enforcement staffing the event. But Sen. Cruz held fast in defense of the Second Amendment, which protects the right of citizens to bear arms. “We must not react to evil and tragedy by abandoning the constitution or infringing on the

rights of our law-abiding citizens,” Sen. Cruz said in his speech. “Now is not the time to yield to panic or intimidation or fear. Now is not the time for lies. It is not the time for empty political gestures. Now is the time for unity. “Now is the time for love. And now is the time for action to protect our rights to stop those with evil in their hearts and to do everything humanly possible to protect our children and to protect our families.” He also pointed out that it was law-abiding citizens who stopped deranged shooters. “It is the law-abiding patriots here like Stephen Willeford who over and over and over again step up and risk their lives to stop these depraved lunatics,” he said. In 2017, then 55-year-old plumber and experienced rifleman Willeford helped to stop a gunman after he killed

26 people inside of First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Living across the street from the church, he heard the shots, loaded his magazine and ran outside, not even putting his shoes on. When he saw the gunman, he exchanged fire and shot him. “I know I hit him,” Mr. Willeford told 40/29 News TV. “He got into his vehicle, and he fired another couple rounds through his side window. When the window dropped, I fired another round at him again.” The gunman then drove away. Mr. Willeford ran to a driver of a pickup truck who was stopped at a stop sign and asked the driver to help. “That guy just shot up the Baptist church. We need to stop him,” Mr. Willeford told the driver. Another gun owner also jumped into the truck, and the three pursued the gunman in a chase that reached up to 90 mph. The gunman eventually lost control of his vehicle and crashed. When they arrived, the gunman was already dead. Police arrived on the scene roughly five minutes later. In response to those protesting the NRA event, Sen. Cruz told the audience, “The media wanted all of us to stay away. “But you are not the cause of this evil. Instead, you are fighting to defend the bill of rights. To keep people safer in their homes and on the subway to protect our families. You are the veterans, the law enforcement members, the courageous men and women who rise to defend your fellow neighbors.”

THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) — Americans blame mental health issues for mass shootings more than access to firearms, a new poll shows. Rasmussen Reports released the poll Tuesday, which found “40% of likely U.S. voters believe mental health is more to blame for mass shootings by young men in America,” whereas 30% blame “access to firearms.”

Continued from Page A2 determined that a report of a subject with a gun at St. Joseph’s High School was unfounded. At approximately 9:53 a.m. on Tuesday, sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to St. Joseph’s High School to investigate a relayed report of a subject with a weapon on the Orcutt campus. When deputies arrived, the campus had already been placed on lockdown. Deputies requested that Righetti High School also be placed on lockdown while they investigated the report. Raquel Zick, the Sheriff’s Office public information officer, said school administrators contacted a student who was the original witness and relayed information to deputies. Additional units responded including a Sheriff’s K9 unit, Lompoc Police K9 unit, California Highway Patrol and County Air Support. Deputies escorted students out of their classrooms and conducted a thorough search of the school for weapons using K9 units who are trained in explosive and

After two recent mass shootings — one at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and another at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas — the issues surrounding gun control and school security have become the center of national discourse. Democrats have largely focused on pushing for new gun control measures while many Republicans have pointed to mental health problems, arguing proposed gun control laws would not stop criminals.

Other issues take some of the blame as well. According to the poll, 10% “think family problems are more to blame for mass shootings,” while another 10% “blame social media.” “Only four percent think school problems are more to blame,” the report said. The national survey of 1,000 people was conducted May 25-26. The poll has a margin of sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% confidence level.

The lockdown at Righetti High School was ended as soon as it became apparent that this incident was isolated to St. Joseph’s. Deputies didn’t find any weapons at St. Joseph, and no arrests were made, Ms. Zick said. Students returned to their classrooms where classes resumed shortly after 1 p.m.

they found 50 to 60 individuals fleeing the high school’s main building and running toward East Canon Perdido Street. Officers were able to detain 16 individuals and determined they were Santa Barbara High School students. Sgt. Ethan Ragsdale, the police department’s public information officer, said the officers’ investigation showed a large number of students was attempting to perform a “senior prank” that involved gallons of baby oil, Vaseline, raw fish, and oysters being placed all over the floors and door handles. Toilet paper and streamers were strewn in trees outside the school, and police discovered vandalism including broken windows and items spray painted, Sgt. Ragsdale said. The Santa Barbara High School principal was notified and responded to the school. This incident is currently under police investigation. The total amount of damage and clean-up costs have yet to be determined Sgt. Ragsdale said no other information is available.

issues. “What (the bill) represents right now is a very viable solution to allow farmworkers to be able to vote on union elections, organizing elections utilizing a mail ballot like we all do in our other elections in California,” Assemblymember Stone said last week. The bill faced opposition from multiple organizations, including the California Chamber of

Commerce and the Western Growers Association. In a statement, the Western Growers Association said “the bill implicitly condones the coercion and intimidation of farm employees,” adding that “a union seeking recognition under the AB 2183 ‘ballot card’ process may choose which workers receive a ballot and when (or even whether or not) the election occurs.” “Should a union satisfy the

conditions set forth in AB 2183 to win representation rights, some farmworkers included in the bargaining unit will never have a chance to express a preference for or against representation,” the association wrote. The bill will now move to the Senate Rules Committee, where it will be assigned to other Senate committees. Madison Hirneisen covers California for The Center Square.

Dr. Richard B. Shelton, 84, beloved superintendent of schools and beloved husband, father and grandfather, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones at Cottage Hospital as he succumbed to a weakened heart May 23. Dick was a force of nature. He was widely known for his quick wit, his keen intellect, and his tender heart. He had a strong presence and always commanded a room. He was always funny. He was also extremely intuitive and perceptive. He missed nothing. He wasn’t just a boss, but a leader, mentor, confidante and the greatest of friends. He was one of a kind. His intellect and wisdom were a guiding force, but underlying it all was his deep, unending empathy. It brought him great joy to help the less fortunate, through simple kindnesses, money, or food. Many suspected he had an internal calculator, evidenced by his speedy and unfailingly accurate computations; an internal Wikipedia database because of his staggering breadth of knowledge (his kids learned early never to say “Daddy, guess how many…” or “guess how high…”); and an internal GPS system, as he navigated repeated cross county travels to new places without missing a turn, recalling all the restaurants or gas stations along his path to help whenever others were driving. Many of his trips involved tailgating at his beloved Rutgers football games. An only child, he was born in 1937 in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. to Jack and Anne Shelton, who each owned local retail stores, one a shoe store and the other a women’s apparel shop. By age 13 he had been interviewed extensively in local newspapers and radio stations because of his skills on the baseball field, traveling with one of the nation’s first Little League teams all over the East Coast, just missing out on the Little League World Series.

After high school he dabbled at college, and then joined the Army, where he was stationed at Fort Bliss, in that safe space between the Korean and Vietnam wars. He returned to marry his first wife, Judy, and they had two children, Jay and Amy. After the Army, college was a breeze. He graduated from Rider College with a B.A. in labor relations, but always loved working with young people as a counselor and coach, so he turned down a lucrative job in industry to instead help Trenton, N.J. fill its dire teacher shortage. He worked in Trenton as a fifth-grade teacher and math specialist for five years, while earning an M.A. at Temple University in elementary administration. He subsequently worked as an acclaimed elementary principal in Pottstown, PA, and an assistant to the superintendent of schools in Bound Brook, NJ, while completing his doctorate in Educational Administration from Rutgers University in 1976. He married his wife Wendy in 1973, and they had two children, Jeffrey and Leslie. After earning his doctorate from Rutgers, he was named assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction in a K-12 school district in Waynesboro, PA. He then became the district’s superintendent of schools for three years, earning numerous distinctions and statewide accolades. But he always wanted to come to California and realized that goal when he was named superintendent of schools in Goleta in 1987, where he was widely respected and admired for his leadership and his humanity. He retired in 2000, and was then recruited to serve in positions as an interim school superintendent in Cold Spring, Buellton, and Los Olivos school districts. He served on the boards of the South Coast Railroad Museum and Goleta Valley Hospital, among many others. His remarkable spirit will always live on in those who adored him and survive him: wife Wendy; son Jeffrey and his wife Sonia and daughter Aniyah; daughter Leslie; son Jay; daughter Amy and her husband Dave and their four sons Meyer, Marley, Cassidy, and Dylan. Following a small memorial service for immediate family, plans are being finalized for a more widespread celebration of life. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the American Heart Association or the Anti-Defamation League, or the South Coast Railroad Museum.

Local native and Broadway dancer Cristy Candler opens yoga businesses By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

anta Barbara native Cristy Candler starred on Broadway as a dancer, and she appeared in magazines as a fitness model. Now she’s in a different kind of spotlight. She recently returned to Santa Barbara, where she opened her own yoga business, Of Sound Body. Clients can book a variety of individual and group sessions with Ms. Candler, who offers yoga classes, nature walks, sound bathing, and decluttering assistance for home and office spaces. For more than 25 years, she has been dancing as well as practicing and teaching yoga and movement. She also has aided with injury prevention, optimal brain and body health, and the challenge of aging well. “I was a professional performer on Broadway,” Ms. Candler told the News-Press. “I was doing eight shows a week.” “I was looking for ways to heal and recover,” she explained. “I was involved in yoga and spiritual metaphysical healing arts. “I had bulging discs in my spine,

and they wanted to do surgery. But I was looking for other ways of healing,” she said. Ms. Candler found her answer in sound healing, which she called the “wave of the future.” “It balances the left and right hemispheres of the brain,” she explained. “I have become an advanced sound healing facilitator, focusing on injury prevention. I believe in health and vitality. I incorporate movement, modality and meditation. “The biggest piece is that sound helps you relax and harmonize and feel more peaceful,” Ms. Candler told the News-Press. Ms. Candler has a bachelor’s in fine arts in dance and theater from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. Her performance credits include roles in Broadway hits such as “Wicked,” “Chicago,” “Aida” and “Rock of Ages.” She also appeared on the Tonys show and at the Super Bowl, Madison Square Garden and The Kennedy Center.

‘Big Truck: Little Island’ author at Chaucer’s

SANTA BARBARA — Chris Van Dusen, a nationally acclaimed children’s author and illustrator, will discuss his book “Big Truck: Little Island” at 5 p.m. June 15 at Chaucer’s Books, 3321 State St. Mr. Van Dusen will also sign his book, which is about a big truck getting stuck on a narrow

road, bringing traffic to a halt on a little island. How will Meg get to her swim meet? What about Barry’s ballet class? The kids find a solution. In a news release, the book is described as “a tale of community and ingenuity.” And it’s inspired by a true story — an incident that happened in Vinalhaven, Maine.

In addition to “Big Truck: Little Island,” Mr. Van Dusen is the author-illustrator of “Hattie & Hudson,” “Randy Riley’s Really Big Hit,” “King Hugo’s Huge Ego” and “The Circus Ship.” For more information, go to www.chaucersbooks.com.

“I would love to pass that on to generations about really going for their dreams, really soaking it in and really living a life full of life and vitality,” yoga teacher Cristy Candler said.

YOGA

Continued from Page B1 spiritually throughout her career by embracing yoga, sound healing and energy works. She has trained in these modalities under some of the best yoga masters in New York City and taught yoga to the Broadway community and major companies and yoga studios. “I had the good fortune to go off to New York City and land my first Broadway show,” Ms. Candler said, noting she had the benefit of incredible dancing teachers. “I just recently came back from New York,” she said. “From here I am moving forward. I would love to pass that on to generations about really going for their dreams, really soaking it in and really living a life full of life and vitality.” Ms. Candler explained what makes her yoga business unique. “I use crystal singing bowls,” she said. “Alchemy crystal singing bowls are made from the highest quality pure quartz crystal with crystal gemstones and precious metals infused (like 24K gold, silver and platinum), producing specific notes and tones. “I studied extensively and privately with a sound healing teacher named Tryshe Dheveny and completed her advanced sound healing certification training in Tucson, Ariz. “I have an intuitive sense of what a group might need, and I teach the room,” she said. I tune in to my clients’ needs of what they are wanting and what the body wants.” She added that her program incorporates balance and brain health. Ms. Candler has studied the Jivamukti method of yoga under renowned teachers including Sharon Gannon and David Life. Ms. Candler has also taught

yoga in a wide range of settings, including to office workers, seniors, children and even African tribes in Swaziland. She holds certifications and accreditations in Advanced Crystal SoundEnergyT, Restorative Yoga, Jivamukti Yoga, Laughing Lotus Yoga and Interior Alignment. Ms. Candler also noted a connection with her experience as a dancer. “Being on Broadway, you learn skills like anticipating what is coming next while staying present in the moment,” she said. “There is a muscle memory that I’m unflappable when it comes to what is next. There is a sense of cohesiveness and flow. It’s semantic awareness; I know where my body is in time and space. “As a dancer, there is a kinetic connection so it feels like a cohesive experience. There is a study showing a mind and body connection so that there is an overall connection promoting overall health,” said Ms. Candler. Through her business Of Sound Body, Ms. Candler offers private, traditional yoga classes and nature walks for individuals and groups at the location of their choice. She also teaches her signature method, Heart Beat Flow, a combination of yoga and dance that joyfully focuses on freedom and intention of movement. “We need strength and the suppleness,” she said. “Sometimes I won’t call it yoga. I’ll just call it stretching. It’s the most comfortable thing you can do. “Movement is good. We need

to stay in motion, so we don’t get rusty and tight,” Ms. Candler said. “Do some kind of movement every single day, even if it is just 15 minutes. We need to move our bodies. Breathe and relax. Incorporate singing bowls. Sound, movement and breathing helps relax the movement system, where we can rest and relax. “Stress is the No. 1 cause of diseases,” Ms. Candler said. “Stress talks louder and louder until we pay attention.” She explained that her individual and group sound healing sessions provide clients with an experience of profound relaxation and meditation. These experiences can be customized to individual needs and have been used by athletes, artists, and professionals to help optimize performance, recovery, innovation and productivity. Ms. Candler also offers interior alignment and decluttering consultations to help clients create better harmony and flow in their home or office; ritual space cleansing for new homeowners or anyone going through a major transition that requires removing stagnant energy from past events and experiences; and home staging for real estate sales. “Just like sound and yoga, I believe we are creating harmony and peace, inner and outer. I believe in creating clarity, peace, and beauty in your home, so you can think and live better. I am certified in feng shui and interior alignment. Similar to my yoga, I don’t practice strict feng shui,” said Ms. Candler. “I firmly believe in what someone wants in their home. If it feels right, it’s good feng shui. “I work intuitively. I help people find a corner to meditate to create a space of calm and peace.” email: kzehnder@newspress.com

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.

Air Force service members sue over COVID vaccine mandate By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER

(The Center Square) — A group of Air Force service members have filed a lawsuit against the Department of Defense and the head of the Air Force to block them from discharging U.S. service members who refuse the COVID-19 vaccine, the latest in a series of legal challenges to government vaccine mandates. The members are seeking a “class wide temporary restraining order” to protect Air Force members who are seeking a religious exemption to the mandate. So far, hundreds of airmen have already received discharges for refusing the vaccine. Because of provisions in the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act, those discharged cannot receive anything worse than a general discharge. “At a time of instability and everincreasing threats around the world, you’d think the Pentagon would want every service member at their post,” said Mike Berry, director of military affairs for First Liberty Institute, which is helping represent plaintiffs. “But instead, military leaders are forcing tens of thousands of our bravest out of the service because

they’ve chosen to live according to their faith. Punishing these service members for seeking religious accommodation is illegal, vindictive and wrong. Religious liberty is essential to national security, and our service members deserve better.” According to Air Force statistics, 97% of its service members are fully vaccinated, and the Air Force has granted only 68 religious exemptions, with 6,113 denied and more than 2,000 still pending, not counting many who are appealing their denial. “Plaintiffs each have sincere religious beliefs that prohibit them from receiving the COVID-19 vaccine,” the lawsuit said. “Each submitted an RAR, and each request has been denied. Even before the initial denials, though, Defendants began their discriminatory course of conduct against Plaintiffs and other requesters. Plaintiffs have lost promotions that had already been announced, received official discipline, been barred from training opportunities, and placed in a no-pay status, to name only a few kinds of the harm they have already endured.” The Air Force said it would not comment on ongoing litigation. A similar lawsuit from a group of

Navy SEALs has grabbed national attention. Also represented by the First Liberty Institute, the SEALs say their requests for religious exemptions were unfairly denied. The United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruled in March to expand a preliminary injunction to stop the Department of Defense from taking action against any Navy personnel who were refusing the vaccine. “Here, the potential class members have suffered the ‘same injury,’ arising from violations of their constitutional rights,” Judge Reed O’Connor said in his ruling. “Each has submitted a religious accommodation request, and each has had his request denied, delayed, or dismissed on appeal. Exactly zero requests have been granted. And while Defendants encourage this Court to disregard the data, it is hard to imagine a more consistent display of discrimination. As previously explained in this Court’s preliminary injunction order, Plaintiffs have suffered the serious injury of infringement of their religious liberty rights under RFRA and the First Amendment.” Casey Harper works at The Center Square’s Washington, D.C., bureau.

QUAID

Continued from Page A1 Association Political Action Committee. When asked about an issue in the news — the expected overturning of Roe v. Wade — Ms. Weslander Quaid said the issue of abortion should be left to the states. She said the U.S. Constitution doesn’t give the federal government the power to decide on abortion matters. “The founders wanted the federal government to be extremely limited,” she said. Ms. Weslander Quaid also stressed the importance of the U.S. becoming energy independent again and called for restarting efforts to build the Keystone Pipeline. And she stressed that the U.S. should focus on the national security and humanitarian problems resulting from the open southern border. “Because of the open border, we have an increase in crime, homelessness and human trafficking,” Ms. Weslander Quaid said. “The only people benefitting from an open border are the criminals, drug lords and human traffickers.” Ms. Weslander Quaid, who was born in Los Angeles, grew up in Santa Barbara and left with her mother, a single parent, before high school to Seattle. She went on to earn her bachelor’s in physics and engineering science in 1991 at Seattle Pacific University and

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.
