Tackling homelessness Santa Barbara City Council hears report

By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

About 822 people in Santa Barbara are experiencing homelessness in 2022, according to point-in-time data provided to the city council Tuesday. And that number, which may in actuality be much higher, is about 41% of the countywide homeless population (about 1,962 people), according to figures provided by Elizabeth Stotts, the community development programs specialist for Santa Barbara. From cleaning up encampments to law enforcement tasked with reunifying unhoused individuals with family members, the Santa Barbara City Council heard Tuesday a bevy of ways the city

handles those who experience homelessness. Additionally, Ms. Stotts gave an update on the Rose Garden Inn project, which served 63 people from July 5, 2021, to Jan. 31. Of the people served, 12 individuals were placed into permanent or other safe housing, and 33 obtained necessary documentation for housing such as identification or social security cards, Ms. Stotts said. Thirteen people were connected to mental health and substance abuse treatments. However, 20 people were asked to leave the program for not following the rules, and 27 returned to the streets at the program’s end, partially due to COVID-19 outbreaks causing

closures at shelters, Ms. Stotts said. Still, the program, which ended up costing about $2.31 million, was considered to be a success, especially given its short period. Ms. Stotts noted individuals taken from encampments are particularly adverse to congregate housing and document readiness can be a lengthy process. The Santa Barbara Police Department has added a coresponse officer, who is trained to help people in crisis and partnered with a licensed mental health professional. That team has responded to about 600 calls of people in crisis, including many who are experiencing homelessness and dealing with a mental health or substance abuse

issue, officials said. Additionally, the department works to reunify unhoused individuals with family members. This was done successfully 63 times last year, according to a report. An encampment response team, under the Environmental Services Division of the Sustainability and Resilience Department, assesses reported non-urgent encampments or reports of individuals in need of assistance. Officials said at least a 72-hour notice is posted at a campsite prior to the cleanup, with priority leaning toward areas that pose an urgent public safety and health risk. Otherwise, the team Please see HOMELESS on A3

(The Center Square) — Newly released federal inflation data show that prices continue to rise at the fastest rate in four decades, continuing the trend of soaring inflation. The Bureau of Labor Statistics released its Consumer Price Index, a key indicator of inflation, which showed prices rose an additional 1.2% in March, part of an 8.5% spike in the past 12 months. “Increases in the indexes for gasoline, shelter and food were the largest contributors to the seasonally adjusted all items increase,” BLS said. “The gasoline index rose 18.3% in March and accounted for over half of the all items monthly increase; other energy component indexes also increased. The food index rose 1%, and the food at home index rose 1.5%.” Energy prices have been the biggest contributor. Americans have seen gas prices rise significantly over the past year. According to the American Automobile Association, the average national gas price is $4.10, up from $2.86 the same time last year.

In California, the price has remained well above the national average. On Monday, AAA reported the state’s average was $5.75 a gallon, and Santa Barbara County’s average was a cent higher: $5.85 a gallon (which is the same as Los Angeles County). Ventura County’s average was slightly higher: $5.87 gallon. San Luis Obispo County saw an average of $5.94 a gallon. “The all items index continued to accelerate, rising 8.5% for the 12 months ending March, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending December 1981,” the BLS said. “The all items less food and energy index rose 6.5%, the largest 12-month change since the period ending August 1982. The energy index rose 32% over the last year, and the food index increased 8.8%, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending May 1981.” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki preempted the report Monday, saying officials expected inflation to be “extraordinarily elevated” but blamed it on “Putin’s price hike.” The Biden administration has consistently blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, but critics Please see INFLATION on A4

Sheriff discusses budget priorities Brown cites tackling opioid crisis, funding human trafficking detective By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The opioid crisis remains the most difficult challenge that Santa Barbara County law enforcement faces, Sheriff Bill Brown told the Board of Supervisors Tuesday. Sheriff Brown presented his department’s budget needs during the board’s marathon series of budget workshops this week.

Santa Barbara City Council approves district map By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

In a unanimous decision Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council approved a redistricting map divvying up the city into six distinct districts. A three-judge Independent Redistricting Commission unanimously picked the DEC Community of Interest Plan last month. It has a total population deviation of 7.4%. The council then, on Tuesday, approved the map, thanking the commission for its work with the community and stakeholders. Councilmember Kristen Sneddon noted the new map, based on 2020 Census data, is not much different from current boundary lines but is more legally sound. “The care that you took for our city in taking the time to tour our different districts to really listen to the concerns of the community … with each

iteration of meetings, how you were able to adjust and take into account the concerns of the community was really remarkable,” Councilmember Sneddon said. Under this map, District 1 is focused on the Eastside community but does have a presence on State Street and East Beach, including the Funk Zone. District 2 includes the Mesa and keeps all of West Beach. That district extends east of Modoc Road. District 3 includes the Westside as well as La Cumbre Junior High School and the Westside Neighborhood Center. District 4 includes a small coastal presence and is centered on the Riviera. District 5 also has a small coastal presence but remains largely in the upper State Street area and includes the airport. District 6 includes the downtown area without crossing the freeway.

District 1 has a Latino citizen voting-age population (CVAP) of 50.4% whereas District 3 has a Latino CVAP of 43.4%. The minority CVAP for District 3 is 50%. Population deviation refers to the difference in population sizes among districts. The current district map for Santa Barbara has a population deviation of nearly 20%, much higher than the 10% threshold deemed to be constitutional, according to demographer Daniel Phillips. The commission held multiple public meetings, making tweaks to various redistricting proposals along the way. Santa Barbara’s city charter stipulated the council approve the commission’s map without amendments. It is now subject to voter referendum, according to a council agenda report. email: kschallhorn@newspress. com

TRAFFIC, CRIME & FIRE BLOTTER

Santa Barbara County deputies arrested Destiny Tumey, 27, during a traffic stop shortly before midnight on April 5. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office said deputies noticed an adult male passenger of the car appeared to have labored breathing and was actively overdosing during the traffic stop. The passenger was removed from the vehicle, and deputies administered Naloxone nasal spray. The unidentified passenger was treated by medics at the scene and transported to an area hospital where he is expected to survive. Deputies also found Destiny Tumey, from Lompoc, to be in possession of suspected fentanyl, methamphetamine, and a glass methamphetamine pipe, officials said in a news release. Officers found about 914 grams of suspected methamphetamine and about 23 grams of marijuana in the car. Ms. Tumey was arrested

on suspicion of misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, misdemeanor possession of narcotics and being under the influence of a controlled substance. Officials have recommended she also be charged with possession of narcotics for sale. She was booked at the Main Jail in Santa Barbara and released with a citation. In the news release, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office encouraged individuals to call for help with a suspected overdose. The Good Samaritan law says: “It shall not be a crime for any person who experiences a drug-related overdose, as defined, who, in good faith, seeks medical assistance, or any other person who, in good faith, seeks medical assistance for the person experiencing a drug related overdose, to be under the influence of, or to possess for personal use, a controlled substance, controlled substance analog, or drug paraphernalia, under certain circumstances related to a drug-related overdose that prompted seeking medical assistance if that person does

not obstruct medical or law enforcement personnel.” — Kaitlyn Schallhorn

dead near a parking structure at Poly Canyon Village Monday morning, school officials said. The Cal Poly Police Department received a call about the individual around 5:20 a.m. Monday, a university spokesperson told the News-Press. The investigation is ongoing, and there is no additional information about the deceased individual immediately available. However, there is no indication of foul play, the spokesperson said. In a campus-wide email Monday, President Jeffrey Armstrong and Vice President for Student Affairs Keith Humphrey said the individual was a student and the process was under way to contact the person’s family. The university said it will provide support to impacted students and staff. The university officials encouraged people seek support from Counseling Services at 805-756-2511 for appointments or to request a counselor speak to a group setting.

Salud Carbajal, others urge guidance on ‘auto sears’ unleashed,” the members wrote in a letter to the bureau. “We urge you to issue updated and explicit guidance on auto sears, put a stop to gun companies pushing the legal limits on these devices, and provide additional resources to help rid communities like ours of these dangerous devices.” The group, which included more than 10 members of California’s House delegation, cited the specific use of these devices in the mass shooting that killed six people last week in Sacramento. “Just last week, a tragic shooting in Sacramento involving at least one gun that had been

modified with an auto sear killed six people and wounded 12 others. Officials estimate at least 100 rounds were fired,” the members wrote. “In January 2022, a gunman shot three Houston police officers with a barrage of automatic gunfire using an auto sear.” According to the Houston Bureau of ATF, the number of guns modified with auto sears seized by law enforcement across the U.S. has grown from 300 guns in 2020 to more than 1,500 in 2021. — Dave Mason

More flights canceled as Alaska Airlines, pilots union negotiate By SPENCER PAULEY THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — Alaska Airlines and the Alaska Airlines Pilots Union continue contract negotiations as flights from the airlines continue being canceled. The airline said in a statement on April 7 that it is through the worst of the cancellations and that the company is “reducing about 2% of (its) total flights through the end of June to match (its) current pilot capacity.” Alaska Airlines said the reason many flights were canceled in early April was due to pilot training delays in which the airlines had “63 fewer pilots prepared to fly in April than (the company) planned for in January,” the airline said in its statement.

These training delays came as a result of student and trainer illnesses during the omicron surge, as well as winter storms halting operations over the past winter. However, these flight cancellations came coincidently at the same time as pilots, fellow crew members within Alaska Airlines picketed outside airports in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and Anchorage. The pilots union has been negotiating with Alaska Airlines on a new contract since the spring of 2019. In an open letter to Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci, the pilots union asked him and the company to “do the right thing” and “provide the same quality-of-life and job security improvements that pilots at other major airlines already enjoy.”

The pilots union said Alaska Airlines is trying to distract the public from the company’s mismanagement and failure to staff up enough for future flights despite receiving government support during the pandemic. “Alaska Airlines received a $2.3 billion bailout from American taxpayers during the pandemic to weather the economic downturn, retain its workforce and be ready to take advantage of the recovery we are now experiencing,” the pilots union said in a statement April 1. “Yet, despite all of this, Alaska Airlines failed to properly plan for increased travel demand and take the steps necessary to ensure it attracted and retained pilots.” Although employees of Alaska Airlines have shown their

disapproval with the company through picketing, the pilots union is not on strike as of now. Alaska Airlines said in a statement that it is committed to reaching an agreement with the pilots that recognizes their contributions to the company. “The proposal we recently offered is the highest contractual investment we’ve ever proposed in our history and would make our first officers the highest paid in the industry,” Alaska Airlines said in a statement. As for the future of Alaska Airlines flights, Alaska will “graduate” 30 pilots in April with more in May as well. The company said it will ensure it better matches the schedule with the number of pilots available to fly in the future.

Report highlights cost of pandemic school closures, limited effectiveness of lockdowns By BRETT ROWLAND THE CENTER SQUARE REGIONAL EDITOR

(The Center Square) — A working paper that examined how U.S. states responded to the COVID-19 pandemic found that states with strict lockdowns and other COVID-19 policies did little to prevent COVID-19 deaths, but those economic restrictions and school closures proved costly in other ways. “School closures may ultimately prove to be the most costly policy decision of the pandemic era in both economic and mortality terms,” University of Chicago economist Casey Mulligan and fellow authors Stephen Moore and Phil Kerpen of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity wrote in the paper. “One study found that school closures at the end of the

previous 2019-2020 school year are associated with 13.8 million years of life lost. An (National Institutes of Health) analysis found that life expectancy for high school graduates is four to six years longer than high school dropouts,” the authors wrote. “The (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development]) estimates that learning losses from pandemic era school closures could cause a 3% decline in lifetime earnings and that a loss of just one third of a year of learning has a long-term economic impact of $14 trillion.” The report noted that “Unlike mortality or economic outcomes, closing public schools was entirely under the control of policymakers. Almost all private schools were open.” The National Bureau of Economic Research working

paper looked at how states fared on health outcomes, economic performance and impact on education. It then ranked the combined performance of all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Utah, Nebraska, Vermont, Montana, South Dakota, Florida, New Hampshire, Maine, Arkansas and Idaho ranked in the top 10. At the bottom were Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Nevada, Maryland, Illinois, California, New Mexico, New York, the District of Columbia and New Jersey. The authors used unemployment data and gross domestic product to measure economic performance. For education, they used the Burbio cumulative in-person instruction percentage for the complete 20202021 school year, with hybrid instruction weighted half. To

measure mortality, the authors used two measures: COVID-19associated deaths reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and all-cause excess mortality. “The correlation between health and economy scores is essentially zero, which suggests that states that withdrew the most from economic activity did not significantly improve health by doing so,” the authors wrote. One notable exception was Hawaii. “It ranks last on the economic index and sixth from last on schooling. As of March 2022, it ranks first on health. Understood in the context of island nations such as Australia and New Zealand, the experience of (Hawaii) suggests that island Please see LOCKDOWNS on A4

attempts to allow for enough time for outreach services to be made available, officials told the city council. Members of the library and parks and recreation rangers develop personal relationships to build continued relationships with individuals who experience homelessness and can better provide services, according to the presentation. A representative for the library

said workforce development services are offered at different branches for individuals, including those who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of becoming homeless. Additionally, they aid veterans and are able to put them in contact with unique resources. A council-approved contract to hire a full-time social worker to help unhoused individuals who frequent the library has not been filled, according to a report. “We have to find a way to achieve that balance of the traditional literacy and keeping

our libraries open and youth services and these types of services that we’re providing that are much needed,” Councilmember Eric Friedman said, noting there needs to be more coordination with the county. “The county should be providing some of these services, but it’s falling on our librarians which is affecting our ability to keep our libraries open.” The Parks and Recreation Department has been able to fully staff its ranger program. Rangers work with people experiencing homelessness in the parks and are

trained to connect with city and county services when needed. Ms. Stotts said officials would continue to expand interdepartmental coordination to help unhoused individuals and would work with shelters to expand the utilization of those beds. Tuesday’s meeting marked a return to in-person council meetings, and spectators were scattered throughout the city council chambers. email: kschallhorn@newspress. com

Wendy Santamaria, a Santa Barbara community organizer with CAUSE, talked to the News-Press just before a Tuesday evening rally calling for rent control in Santa Barbara. “We are here asking the City Council to move forward with implementing an ordinance to cap rent to 2% for every 12 months,” Ms. Santamaria said as a small number of rent control supporters gathered outside Santa Barbara City Hall in De la Guerra Plaza. She said she has heard of families who have seen the rents increase up to $500 or $1,000. “It’s insane increases. That’s why we’re out here.” Near Ms. Santamaria were tents with signs with messages such as “Rent Is Too High!”

Biden and others are serious about helping working Americans, they need to take responsibility for the mess they created, cut government spending and end the regulatory war on American energy production.” Casey Harper works at The Center Square’s Washington, D.C., bureau. News-Press Managing Editor Dave Mason contributed to this report.

high,” the authors wrote. Dr. Mulligan, with the University of Chicago Department of Economics, said states that didn’t follow CDC guidelines performed better than those that did. More broadly, he said the research shows that federalism worked by allowing states to respond to the pandemic individually. “It would have been a shame if (former President Donald) Trump had said ‘no lockdowns,’ “ he said. According to the report, federal

agencies such as the CDC and U.S. Department of Education should have played more informational roles during the pandemic. In particular, Dr. Mulligan said the Department of Education should have gathered data from private schools to share with public schools about best practices for operating safely. He said the CDC could have done the same. “Pandemic mortality was greater in states where obesity,

diabetes, and old age were more prevalent before the pandemic. Economic activity was less in states that had been intensive in, especially, accommodations and food,” the authors concluded. “Still, much residual variation in both mortality and economic activity remains even after controlling for these factors because the 50 states and D.C. took very different approaches to confronting the COVID-19 pandemic.”

County. If the county does not allocate funding for the position, it will be lost, officials said Tuesday. “The loss of this detective will dramatically set our county back in our collective ability to proactively identify and rescue human trafficking survivors and seamlessly connect them with the resources and services available through the District Attorney’s Office and our community-based organization partners,” officials said Tuesday. “Our county needs to have this mechanism to locate and rescue survivors.” The detective is specially trained in conducting traumainformed investigations while

maintaining a survivor-centered approach. The board already heard a presentation on the Health and Human Services and General Government & Support Services departments on Monday. No workshop is planned for Wednesday, but on Thursday the board will review the County Council, Board of Supervisors, County Executive Office and general county programs and fund balances. The county budget for fiscal year 2022-2023 is estimated to be $1.4 billion with a “stable” outlook, according to presentations given this week. This is the fourth consecutive

year no county departments need to propose a service level reduction. (The potential loss of the human trafficking detective in the Sheriff’s Office is not considered a service level reduction as it was funded through a grant.) The budget workshops can be attended in-person at the County Administration Building, 105 E.

‘Resistance and Progress’ UCSB exhibit revisits Isla Vista during counterculture era

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

he counterculture era of the late 1960s and early 1970s is gradually fading into legend, sustained by hazy memories and secondhand stories. To get a better idea of how utopian visions clashed with on-the-ground reality, contemporary photographs created by a sympathetic yet discerning artist would be enormously helpful. That’s what the Art, Design and Architecture Museum at

UCSB is offering with its current exhibit, “Isla Vista: Resistance and Progress by Marion Post Wolcott.” It consists of 17 photos by the veteran photographer, an onand-off Santa Barbara resident, which document aspects of life in the university-adjacent community, circa 1974. “Marion Post Wolcott’s photographs documenting Isla Vista in the 1970s are a testament to the pioneering, counterculture ethos of this unique student enclave,” said Gabriel Ritter, museum director. “Walking through the exhibition, one is

reminded of the raucous spirit and ecologically conscious mindset that was nurtured here in the past and remains alive and well today.” In her vivid photographs, Ms. Post Wolcott “brings to the fore the bright, human side of the neighborhood in the mid-1970s,” said Silvia Perea, curator of the museum’s architecture and design collection.”The images feature pacific demonstrations, familyoriented fairs, organic restaurants, recycling fields and street markets but avoids darker elements of the time such as drug trafficking. “While she identifies with Isla

Vista’s political drive,” Ms. Perea said, “she is more attracted to the neighborhood’s achievements than to its struggles.” Ms. Post Wolcott is best known for the many photos she took between 1938 and 1941 in the South when she was working for the Farm Security Administration. Rather than concentrating exclusively on Depression-era poverty, she “captured both sides of the United States’ socioeconomic spectrum, combining heartening scenes of endurance with discomforting images of privilege,” Ms. Perea

said. Once that project ended, Ms. Post Wolcott took a nearly threedecade hiatus from professional photography as she accompanied her diplomat husband to various postings around the world. They settled down in Santa Barbara in the early 1970s, and in a visit to Isla Vista, she found inspiration to resume her work. When she turned her lens to Isla Vista, Ms. Perea said, she generally focused on “details, rather than panoramic views — a hand-lettered get-out-the-the vote sign, a group of musicians playing

at an outdoor concert, a bearded, shirtless man with a young child on his shoulders. Several of the photographs document Isla Vista’s recycling program — one of the first in the nation — showing, among other things, huge plastic bags full of collected cans. “Just a few years before, in 1969, the oil spill in the Santa Barbara channel had spurred wide ecological action locally and nationally,” Ms. Perea said. “Ms. Post Wolcott’s photographs attest to the lasting social mobilization Please see ISLA VISTA on B2

that followed the disaster. The handmade graphics in the recycling bins and fields highlight that ecological action at Isla Vista was driven by local residents,” as opposed to a government agency. Stylistically, Ms. Perea sees more similarities than differences between these photos and the better-known ones Ms. Post Wolcott took during the Depression. “The FSA series is shot in black and white and questions ideals of democracy in a capitalist society, while Isla Vista is in color and praises the progress that stems from selfless human bonding,” she said. “However, the casual, fineart approach to her subject matters remains consistent. Both series are also fruit of Ms. Post Wolcott’s belief in the power of photography to drive socioeconomic and political progress.” The photographs were originally from the collection of Ms. Post Wolcott’s daughter, Linda Wolcott Moore, who owned a San Francisco gallery specializing in photography. Like her mother, she too lived in Santa Barbara for a time, and when she moved out of the city, she donated the photographs to the AD&A Museum. A few of them were shown at a retrospective exhibition of Ms. Post Wolcott’s work at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in 1988, two years before the artist’s death. This is the first time the entire series is on display. “As I see it, the Isla Vista series is, ultimately, a self-portrait of Ms. Post Wolcott,” Ms. Perea said. “In I.V., she finds the social values she upholds since young and that her work for the FSA in the 1930s and 40s reflects. By immortalizing expressions of these values decades later, Ms. Post Wolcott is defining who she is, not only as an artist, but also as a human being, all the while celebrating her regained freedom to do so.” email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

Marian Regional Medical Center’s first class of Obstetrics & Gynecology Residency Program physicians will graduate June 25 in an outdoor ceremony at Presqu’ile Winery. Marian welcomed its first class of OB-GYN physician residents in 2018. Marian delivers the highest number of infants throughout the Central Coast with more than an average of 257 deliveries a month, according to a news release. The first physician graduates are Rebecca Lynn Ruebsamen, D.O., and Kavita Jain, M.D. Following graduation, Dr. Rebecca Ruebsamen will join the Santa Maria Women’s Health Clinic to provide full-time care to

the OB-GYN patients of the Santa Maria Valley. “The inaugural class of Marian’s OB-GYN Residency Program, in addition to the Residency Program’s future graduating physicians, will undoubtedly help to alleviate the local physician shortage in the Santa Maria Valley,” said Sue Andersen, president & CEO of Marian Regional Medical Center, in the news release. A recent study by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists reveals there is a shortage of 8,800 obstetricians and gynecologists nationwide and projects a shortage of 22,000 by 2050. Half of all US counties do not have any OB-GYN physicians. The Santa Maria Valley has 12 obstetricians and gynecologists

for a population of 250,000, complemented by the nine residents in Marian’s OB/GYN Residency Program. According to a 2015 study published in the Journal of Family Medicine, 55% of resident physicians remain within 100 miles of their residencies. “The mission of Marian’s OB-GYN Residency Program at Marian is to train excellent women’s healthcare physicians, with the hope that our graduating residents stay in the area to provide care to the community members in Santa Maria and surrounding areas,” said Anne Kennard, DO, associate program director for the Marian OB-GYN Residency Program, in the news release. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Kavita Jain, M.D. and Rebecca Lynn Ruebsamen, D.O. are the first physician graduates of Marian Regional Medical Center’s OB-GYN Residency Program.

The Santa Barbara Music Club will present a free concert April 23 at the First United Methodist Church, 305 E. Anapamu St., Santa Barbara. The concert will feature Tachell Gerbert and Bradley Gregory, duo pianists, performing Mozart’s Sonata in B-flat Major, K. 358. They also will play local resident Emma Lou Diemer’s “By the Sea” (2202). The latter work was written for them. The program will also feature cellist Virginia Kron and pianist Betty Oberacker interpreting Beethoven’s Sonata No. 3 in A Major, Op. 69. Tachell Gerbert and Bradley Gregory, duo pianists, have reputations as both concert performers and teachers. Winners in the Third International Piano Duo Competition, they established their piano teaching

studio in Thousand Oaks in 1986 and are active members of the Music Teachers’ Association of California. They each received bachelor’s of music degrees from the San Francisco Conservatory and master’s of music degrees from UCSB, with emphasis in piano ensemble. Ms. Kron, the cellist, has had an extensive career that, among other highlights, included her premiere of John Biggs’ Cello Concerto with the New West Symphony and subsequent recording with the Czech National Symphony, and most recently, her premiere of Jimmy Calire’s Jazzical Cello Sonata. Her original album, “The Crystal Harp,” was praised by the American Library Association Booklist Review. She has a bachelor’s of music from the University of Wisconsin and a master’s of music from USC, and has long been a pillar

on cello at California’s Cabrillo Festival. Ms. Oberacker is internationally renowned as a piano soloist and chamber musician and has played concerts throughout Europe, Israel, Asia, Australia, Mexico and the U.S. In accordance with public health guidelines, all patrons, including children under the age of 12, must show proof of full vaccination. (Final COVID-19 vaccine dose must have been administered at least 14 days prior to the concert date). If there isn’t proof of vaccination, people can bring a proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of arrival. Masks are required and must cover both the nose and mouth. Social distancing is required as well. For more information, visit www.sbmusicclub.org. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

INSTRUCTIONS Fill in the grid so every row, every column and every 3-by-3 grid contains the digits 1 through 9. that means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box.

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.

priority list today, Libra. You should be feeling especially warm, loving, and passionate. Romantic novels and movies could be especially appealing, as could an intimate evening with a lover! Career and money matters look fairly strong and stable at this time, although it might take a little effort to keep them that way. SCORPIO — A lack of communication on the part of your mate or perhaps a business partner can cause you to feel uncertainty about the relationship. Don’t fall into this trap, Scorpio. Use your warmth and understanding to open up the communication between you. You’ll probably find that all is basically well. SAGITTARIUS — The right moment to ask for a raise or apply for a promotion or new job could come your way today, but you’d better make use of it or the opportunity could pass you by. A chance for a romantic encounter or fun evening with friends could also come up. Whatever pleasant things arise today aren’t sure things, Sagittarius, so don’t let them escape. CAPRICORN — Love and romance are definitely on the agenda for today, Capricorn, and you should be feeling warm, passionate, and particularly sexy. You’re likely to be looking quite attractive, too, and romantic partners or potential partners could seem especially attractive to you. This is a wonderful day to shop for new clothes, have your hair styled, or prepare a candlelit dinner for someone very special. Go for it! AQUARIUS — A friend or family member could be feeling rather grim, taciturn, and not open to communication. He or she could have you wondering if you’ve done something wrong, or they’re angry with you. If you use your warmth and generosity of spirit to induce this person to open up, Aquarius, you’ll probably find that the issues have nothing to do with you. PISCES — A warm, loving phone call or letter could come your way today from a lover or close friend who’s presently out of town. You’ll wish with all your heart that he or she could be home! In the meantime, you’re likely to keep yourself quite busy, Pisces. Creative projects, activities in your community, or both could keep you too busy to miss anyone too much.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Today you could discover a talent for investment, real estate, or other form of money management that you never thought you had, Aries. The opportunity to make an investment or cash in on one could enable you to take strides toward making your money grow. This might be a good time to buy or sell any type of property. TAURUS — You might wake up today feeling a little grumpy and out of sorts, Taurus. You could aspire to nothing more strenuous than spending the day without any distractions other than a good book. However, by the middle of the day a warm and loving letter or phone call is likely to snap you out of your reclusive mood. GEMINI — Some pretty heavy soul searching could reveal that the time has come to make use of a talent you may have always had but never developed. This could involve nothing more than a little practice, or you could decide to get some formal training in the skill. This is a positive sign, Gemini, but your determination could waver over the next few days. Don’t hesitate - stay with it! CANCER — You’re looking good and your social skills are at their peak, Cancer. Therefore, social events and group activities that you might attend today could well be the most satisfying and beneficial you’ve known in a long time. People you meet should be impressed with you, and you could make a lot of new friends. LEO — Today you could find yourself brainstorming a way to put your inventiveness and ingenuity to work so that you can advance your career by leaps and bounds and increase your income. You could also become involved in artistic projects of some kind. Don’t be surprised if great ideas come to you with little effort. VIRGO — An intense study of philosophy, religion, or some other exalted school of thought could find you involved with a group that shares your interest in the subject. You could make a new friend today, or if you aren’t currently romantically involved, meet a potential romantic partner. This should be a very satisfying day on both mental and emotional levels. LIBRA — Sex and romance should be at the top of your

T.S. No.: 2021-1203 Loan No.: GIBRALTAR APN: 153-280-020 & 153-280-011 Property Address: 3040 GIBRALTAR ROAD, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93105 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 5/5/2016. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: KEN VENTURA, LLC Duly Appointed Trustee: WESTERN FIDELITY TRUSTEES Recorded 5/6/2016 as Instrument No. 2016-0022215 in book , page of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Santa Barbara County, California, Date of Sale: 5/4/2022 at 1:00 PM Place of Sale: At the main entrance to the county courthouse, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA. Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $1,775,552.14* *The amount of the opening bid at the time of sale may be less than the amount stated herein. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 3040 GIBRALTAR ROAD SANTA BARBARA, CA 93105 A.P.N.: 153-280-020 & 153-280-011 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 9390772 or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2021-1203. 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: Effective 1/1/2021 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 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com using the file number assigned to this case, 2021-1203 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.

The Petition for Probate requests that Flossie Keck be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
