Biden defends U.S. withdrawal President says 90% of Americans who wanted to leave Afghanistan have done so By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

“I was not going to extend this forever war, and I was not extending a forever exit,” President Joe Biden said Tuesday about his decision to withdraw forces by the Aug. 31 deadline.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday defended his decision to withdraw U.S. forces from Afghanistan by the Aug. 31 deadline. “Leaving Aug. 31 is not due to an arbitrary deadline. It was designed to save American lives,” Mr. Biden told the nation during an address televised from the White House. “The bottom line is that there is no evacuation from the end of a war that you can run without the kind of complexities, challenges and threats that we faced. None.”

He also said, “I was not going to extend this forever war, and I was not extending a forever exit.” President Biden has faced bipartisan criticism for how the evacuation was handled, particularly its sequence. Critics have said Americans, Afghan allies and military equipment should have been all withdrawn before U.S. troops left. Polls have shown Americans agreeing with the decision to leave Afghanistan after a nearly 20-year war, the longest one in U.S. history, but disagreeing with how the Biden administration carried out the withdrawal.

Break from the heat A mix of clouds and moderate highs forecast through Labor Day weekend

During his address, President Biden said 90% of Americans who wanted to leave Afghanistan did so and that Secretary of State Antony Blinken will continue to work to bring the rest home. “For those remaining Americans, there is no deadline,” President Biden said. “We remain committed to get them out.” He said 100 to 200 Americans remain in Afghanistan. “Most of those who remain are dual citizens, longtime residents who earlier decided to stay because of family roots in Afghanistan,” President Biden said.

The sun hid most of Tuesday in Santa Barbara County. And the forecast calls for clouds today through the Labor Day weekend, except for a sunny Sunday. But sun or no sun, there’s a good reason to be happy. Things aren’t too hot. The Santa Barbara Airport and Goleta saw a high of 71 on a cloudy day. Things were a bit warmer at the Santa Barbara City Fire Department, which recorded a high of 77, according to the National Weather Service.

Other highs were 75 in Santa Maria, 77 in Lompoc and 82 in Santa Ynez. The hottest spot in Santa Barbara County remains New Cuyama, which had a sizzling high of 95 Tuesday. The National Weather Service is forecasting today to be mostly cloudy in Santa Barbara, with highs of 75 at UCSB and 78 in Santa Barbara. It’ll be partly cloudy Thursday and Friday with highs in the mid- to upper 70s. Santa Maria and Lompoc are forecast to be partly cloudy today through the Labor Day weekend, with highs in the low 70s through Saturday. Things will get a few degrees warmer on Sunday. Santa Ynez is expected to be partly cloudy through Saturday, but highs will be in the low

to mid 80s through Friday. Then on Saturday, Santa Ynez will be hot with highs of 89 on Sunday, 90 on Sunday and 89 on Monday and Tuesday. Sunday is supposed to be sunny throughout the county, according to the National Weather Service. But the weather will be partly cloudy again Monday and Tuesday. And Cuyama? Hot, hot and hot. The forecast calls for highs of 89 today and Thursday, then 92 on Friday, then the mid 90s all the way through Tuesday. But at least Cuyama will have sunny skies today through the entire weekend. The sun can’t hide everywhere. email: dmason@newspress.com

‘Beliefs’ added as vaccination exemption at Allan Hancock College By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Allan Hancock College Board of Trustees voted to include sincerely held beliefs and antibodies from prior COVID-19 infection exemptions to its COVID-19 vaccine mandate during a special meeting Tuesday evening. Further, they decided those unvaccinated will be required to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test every three days. Administrators have ordered rapid test kits for the campus. Trustees Hilda Zacarias and Alejandra Enciso Medina were opposed to including sincerely held beliefs as an exemption. Ms. Zacarias considers the issue

an emotional one, she said, as an immunocompromised student and caregiver of two loved ones in hospice. “I don’t have immunity, and even the vaccine has to be given to me more regularly because it does not work in my body system,” she said. “Does that mean now I am not a candidate for additional education, that I have to drop my goal of being able to get my degree that I’ve been seeking for the last year?” Mr. Medina thought the exemption wasn’t strict enough, but she also struggled with drawing the line at what is a valid belief. “I feel like we would be opening the doors for everyone,” she said. “And like all of us said, none of us want to take the burden of deciding which are religious or personal beliefs. And so

that’s really hard for me to take in, especially because I know that my freedom ends when it affects someone else’s health or, personally, safety.” The board chose the language of “sincerely held belief” without further specifying religious beliefs, as those are included in sincerely held beliefs. Superintendent/President Kevin G. Walthers noted that there were “a lot of mixed opinions” from students, faculty and other stakeholders. “We don’t want to be the arbiters of sincere religious beliefs. We think that that is a slippery slope,” he said. Public comments were mixed but respectful. One student was frustrated that he didn’t Please see HANCOCK on A4

All Santa Barbara County employees will be required to be fully vaccinated or undergo weekly testing according to a new policy approved by the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. The new measure, which was approved in a 4-1 vote, will require all county staff, extrahelp employees, contractors on payroll, volunteers and interns to be fully vaccinated by Sept. 30 or undergo weekly COVID-19 testing. Board Chair Bob Nelson voted against the measure. The new policy will likely apply to the 30.4% of county employees who have not reported their vaccine status to the county’s Human Resources Department. According to the latest data from the HR Department, 59% of county employees have verified their vaccination status, and 10.6% have self-attested their status. To verify vaccination, employees can show their COVID-19 vaccination card, a photo of the card, documentation from a healthcare provider or a digital record with a QR code. Employees who choose not to be vaccinated will undergo weekly PCR nasal swab testing that will be self-administered at a department or county site. Employees will then be notified within 24 hours of their test results. The supervisors’ stamp of approval on the measure came after a 2-hour public comment

period on Tuesday, where community members voiced both support and opposition to the requirement. Those opposed to the requirement claimed that the measure would be an overreach into the realm of individual rights and freedoms, while those in favor said the requirement was necessary to protect public safety. Many public commenters on Tuesday questioned the need for a vaccine requirement when fully vaccinated people can spread the virus. In response, Supervisor Gregg Hart — who proposed the vaccine/ testing requirement during the board’s Aug. 24 meeting — reminded the commenters of what public health officials have said for weeks now — the vaccines protect against severe hospitalization and death, while also reducing transmission. Given the threat of COVID-19 to the county’s most vulnerable populations, Mr. Hart said the vaccine and testing requirement is needed to keep the community safe and prevent more hospitalizations in the county’s already strained healthcare system. “The way I see it, we have an obligation to protect each other from a dangerous, highly infectious disease that has killed in only 18 months more Americans than died in the four years of the Civil War — the bloodiest war in our nation’s history,” Mr. Hart said. “When I proposed this vaccine or testing requirement at last week’s board Please see BOARD on A2

Supervisors allocate funds to advance encampment response efforts By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved more than $1.4 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding to be allocated for the advancement of homeless encampment outreach in the county during its regular meeting Tuesday. This funding will help to bolster the county’s homeless encampment outreach strategy, which aims to resolve 45 encampments located on county property over the next three years and provide at least 60% of persons living in encampments with some form of alternative shelter. The move to address homeless encampments comes after the county witnessed a 37% increase in the county’s unsheltered population between 2017 and 2020, the county’s Homeless Assistance Program Manager Kimberlee Albers told supervisors on Tuesday. This population increase has led to more than 100 encampment locations across the county and was further exacerbated by the COVID19 pandemic, according to Ms. Albers. To address encampments that are located specifically on property owned by the county,

officials are spearheading an effort to promote outreach and move members of the unsheltered population into more permanent housing. A key component of this response is the deployment of an Encampment Response Team. The Encampment Response Team is composed of members from the Public Health Department, the Santa Barbara County Fire Department, the Sheriff’s Office, representatives from Community Services and a homeless service provider. This team would be led by an Encampment Response Coordinator, which is a new position that will be funded by a portion of the ARPA funds. This multi-departmental team would be responsible for conducting site visits and outreach in encampments that are currently set up on county property. The team would respond to encampment reports and assess each site for potential danger to life and property, proximity to residences, the potential impact on the environment and water quality, its impact on public access and other risks like criminal activity or disruptive behavior. Following the assessment, the team would then coordinate a response and make a plan to deploy interventions. These interventions include providing information on homeless services

and case management, enacting temporary health and safety measures (like traffic barriers or portable toilets), conducting a scheduled collection of debris or trash, and initiating closure or removal of the encampment. Officials underscored the importance of having shelter options available for unsheltered individuals, telling supervisors that adequate shelter availability must be achieved in order to close encampments. Representatives also highlighted the importance of trust-building among the unsheltered population, saying that consistent contact is key for moving someone from the streets into a shelter. “Resolving encampments requires a coordinated vision backed by intense one-on-one engagement and increased investment in shelter and housing,” Ms. Albers said. In addition to the Encampment Response Team, Ms. Albers outlined additional strategies to address encampments during the board’s meeting on Tuesday. These strategies include increasing access to shelter, leveraging long-term rental subsidies, creating new permanent housing units, conducting robust outreach and sustaining adequate funding sources. Ms. Albers told supervisors

that increasing access to housing is a key part of resolving encampments. To increase the number of beds available, the county has added a new shelter in Isla Vista and opened pallet shelters in Lompoc. A proposed, interim housing project championed by advocates from DignityMoves is also underway in Santa Barbara. In addition to these, the county is also hoping to add 100 additional beds through the state’s Homekey program. The Isla Vista, Lopmoc and Santa Barbara-based projects are funded by a one-time state grant at this time, but would require about $4.9 million in funding over the next two years, Ms. Albers told supervisors. Overall, the Community Services Department estimates that an investment of $6.5 million is needed to increase access to shelter and about $7.2 million is needed for robust outreach and engagement. Following the presentation, Supervisor Gregg Hart dubbed the county’s efforts to address encampments as “bold action to change lives.” Mr. Hart acknowledged that while the solutions are expensive and will take time, addressing encampments benefits the unsheltered population and the community at large.

“We need to treat people with dignity and compassion,” Mr. Hart said. “They’re human beings who have found themselves in a tough situation, and we know what we need to do to get them housed, we just need the resources and the political will to do it.” “We need to recognize that it takes time to build trust with people,” he later added. “We can’t just roll in and clean up because that’s just displacing. But at the same time, we’re not being passive here — we’re engaging, we’re doing the work that needs to be done to build a path that ends up in success, not just displacement.” Supervisor Das Williams echoed this same sentiment in his comments, encouraging community members to step forward and allow the county to

utilize open lots for temporary shelter. “You can’t end encampments without a place to go,” Mr. Williams said. Of the $1.4 million in ARPA funding allocated to encampment response, $160,000 will be used to pay an Encampment Response Coordinator, $375,000 will be used for encampment response sanitization services, $100,000 will be used for storage of personal property and contractor access to the property, $10,000 will be used to pay for encampment mapping software, $437,000 will be used to pay 10 street outreaching housing navigators and $400,000 will be allocated for improvements to the Garden Street Flag Lot Site. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

hearing, I felt it was warranted solely based on protecting county employees, their families, and just as importantly the public that comes into contact with county employees.” In addition to the safety of county employees, Supervisor Joan Hartmann said it’s important to remember that getting the vaccine helps to protect a population of children who are not yet able to get the shot due to age restrictions. By vaccinating more of the population, Ms. Hartmann said community members can help slow the spread and prevent the virus from mutating. “We need to vaccinate as many as possible in our community to reduce the spread and to reduce the possibility that even more virulent

I believe in its efficacy, but if you don’t and you’re scared to take it, I can’t think of anything worse than to be told you have to take something you’re not comfortable with. The good news is, that’s not what the county is doing.” Ahead of the final vote, Mr. Nelson, the board chair, said he was not supporting the requirement because he wanted to give people more time to do a “personal risk assessment” to consider whether or not to get the vaccine. He added that with FDA approval of the Pfizer vaccine only coming a week ago, he believed people needed more time to meet with their physicians to decide what is best.

After voting “no” to advancing the policy during last week’s meeting, Mr. Lavagnino voted “yes” on Tuesday after reminding the public on Tuesday that the county is not forcing anyone to get the vaccine if they do not want to. In response to some public commenters during both this week and last week’s meeting who likened the requirement to “tyranny,” Mr. Lavagnino told commenters “nobody is silencing you.” He encouraged all people to get vaccinated to “save a life.” “I believe this vaccine is saving lives,” Mr. Lavanino said. “I believe it is protecting the elderly, I believe it is reducing serious illness

California’s national forests temporarily close to prevent fire By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Los Padres National Forest is now closed to visitors in a statewide effort to prevent fire. The closure, set by the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region, took effect at midnight and is scheduled through 11:59 p.m. Sept. 17. California’s other national forests are also closed, except for the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest (which is primarily in Nevada and outside of the Pacific Southwest Region). Los Padres spokesperson Andrew Madsen told the NewsPress the closure could be lifted early or extended based on conditions. Forest Service officials made the decision to close the forests because of fire-related factors. Fire crews and incident command teams are occupied at wildfires, such as the Dixie Fire, Caldor Fire and Monument Fire. The Dixie Fire has burned over 807,000 acres and is 48% contained as of Tuesday. “If we were to get a new fire here, understanding all the incident management teams are working on other fires right now … We would need to pick it up and contain it while it was small,” Mr. Madsen said. Firefighters throughout Santa Barbara County have been deployed in two-week shifts to the major fires. Forest officials believe the closure will reduce the number of fire starts and protect fire crews. Humans caused 88% of wildfires between 2016 and 2020, according to a Congressional Research Service report. Decision-makers were also worried about a possible entrapment situation, like when Sequoia National Forest visitors had to be airlifted from a wildfire

last year. “It’s a difficult decision, but it’s

the right decision right now,” Mr. Madsen said.

Those who reserved campgrounds are being refunded their deposits. The result is a disappointment to a budgetconstrained department as well as nature enthusiasts, Mr. Madsen said. Rangers are traveling throughout the forest to tell

hunters and other guests about the closure. Mr. Madsen says the forest hopes face-to-face reminders will keep people from breaking the order. But rangers are prepared to issue citations for those willfully violating the law. Rangers will be closing forest

roads over the next few days, but all county roads remain open. There are exemptions to the order, including private property owners. For more information, go to fs.usda.gov/main/lpnf/home. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

‘Sight and Insight’ exhibit focuses on Westmont faculty artists By MARILYN MCMAHON

FYI

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

“Sight and Insight: Westmont College Studio Art Faculty Exhibition” will be on view from Thursday through Oct. 30 at the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum, 955 La Paz Road in Montecito. The public is invited to a free, opening reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday. The exhibition features paintings to watercolors, sculptures to prints, ceramics to photography. Westmont’s studio art faculty work in genres ranging from conceptual art to photorealism to graphic design. The artists include Scott Anderson, Nathan Huff, Chris Rupp and Meagan Stirling as well as adjunct faculty James Daly, Brad Elliott, Ryan Ethington, Jenna Grotelueschen, Pecos Pryor and Katie King Rumford. “Our art faculty are all accomplished working artists in their own right, and this show displays the wide range of ability and media that makes our department so creatively diverse,” said Judy L. Larson, Askew professor of art history and museum director, in a press release. A freelance illustrator, Mr. Anderson shares works from his Play series, including action figures, LEGOs and wind-up tin toys, to blur the line between childish things and the passage into adulthood. Mr. Huff, whose installations and exhibitions have been shown throughout the West Coast and internationally, uses wood and paper to open vistas and explore ways to reach across divides. A specialist in sculpture and ceramics, Mr. Rupp uses this exhibition to examine the increase in surveillance activity in our day-to-day lives. Ms. Stirling, whose artwork has

A Westmont staff photographer for more than 35 years and owner of a photography freelance business, Mr. Elliott explores the unpredictability of life using decades-old black and white negatives to make unique “wet prints.” Mr. Ethington, an art educator, has turned the meditative practice of drawing concentric circles into artwork that reflects the texture of tree rings, reminding us of the trauma and growth we have overcome.

understand the jargon often used in COVID-19 protocol, such as “asymptomatic.” He said other students believe misinformation, such as theories that the vaccine would keep them from going to heaven. He was sympathetic and wanted the college to reach out with more education for students. Dr. Alina Romo, assistant professor of English at Hancock, took a more aggressive stance on misinformation. “When we as professors, as an institution

of higher learning, allow individuals to assert that things have meaning and facts are only facts, when it is convenient to them, we run the risk of dismantling the foundational role of education,” she said. Tyson Aye, men’s basketball coach, spoke on behalf of the athletics department and asked for regular testing as an acceptable exemption. “We have a number, a number of out-area students that have pretty much gone all in financially and personally, to be at our college. And to pull this out from under them after the fact, we do not think it is the right thing to do,” he said. Other faculty also noted that students enrolled prior to the mandate.

Hancock’s Fire Academy Coordinator Leonard Champion said he didn’t believe testing was reasonable. “I’m asking you to implement daily screening of all students and faculty, instead of invasive testing for only one group. Those (vaccinated) still can transmit the virus, so treat both and screen both as such,” he said. Students and staff have until Oct. 1 to get vaccinated. The college is incentivizing vaccination with $250 Visa gift cards. Over 4,100 credit and non-credit students have claimed their cards. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

‘Design Excellence’ 12th annual ArchitecTours in virtual format scheduled for Oct.2 By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

a Rana Canta (The Frog Sings), a singlefamily home in the Santa Ana Canyon in Ojai. A Mountain Drive cabana, sited between several enormous boulders. The Santa Barbara Islamic Center, designed in harmony with the flight patterns of the whitetailed Kite Hawk. Casa Pequena, a 483-square-

foot accessory dwelling unit in Santa Barbara. A dining pavilion and projectbased learning hub at The Thacher School in Ojai. All will be on the 12th annual ArchitecTours sponsored by the American Institute of Architects Santa Barbara from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Oct. 2. This year’s tour, celebrating “Design Excellence,” will highlight projects that demonstrate green building, feature small efficient spaces, are built in harmony with nature,

demonstrate live/work spaces that meet the needs of a 21st century workforce, spearhead solutions and meet the call for climate challenges. They’re also designed as equitable housing solutions and show other exceptional and informative work. Participants on the tour will learn about the teams, trades, processes, materials and elements that were needed to complete the finished buildings. This year’s virtual format will allow participants to tour a variety of projects at their leisure from their

own homes. “We are very excited about this year’s virtual ArchitecTours. Last year, we were very disappointed that we couldn’t hold the tour due to COVID. Last spring, when we were planning this year’s event, we debated whether to hold an in-person tour or not. But we soon realized property owners most likely wouldn’t be willing to have hundreds of people visiting their project sites on what we thought might be the heels of COVID. Given the current COVID situation, we are glad we chose

Included in the ArchitecTours are two buildings at The Thacher School in Ojai: the Dining Pavilion, left, and the Gates Building.

the virtual experience,” said Karen Feeney, a member of the AIASB board of directors. “With the virtual format, we will be showcasing projects the public would not be able to visit, even on an in-person tour. For example, the two Thacher projects — their new Dining Pavilion and Gates Building — are located at a private school in Ojai, and La Rana Canta, a whimsical Art Nouveau-style private residence, is located in Santa Ana Canyon in Ojai. “Each project architect will

tell the story of their project in their own, unique way, using a mix of live virtual walk-throughs, 3D camera images, photos of the building process from start to finish, etc. This should make for a very special and exciting day,” she added. Owners of Casa Pequena are an artist and a gardener, who replaced their garage with a new cottage designed as an art studio with the flexibility to accommodate guests. Please see TOUR on B2

PETS of the WEEK

Shelters seek homes for pets

Rumpelstiltskin, Humpty Dumpty Rumpelstiltskin and Humpty Dumpty are waiting to live happily ever after with you. The bonded, active bunnies are awaiting adoption through Bunnies Urgently Needing Shelter in Goleta. The two pals are active and love to run around. They’re both under 1 year old. And each has his own personality and appearance. Rumpel is the more outgoing California mix breed, and Humpty is the shyer American agouti mix boy. What they have in common is they love being petted and getting treats. To adopt them, make an appointment by contacting BUNS at 805-683-0521 or info@bunssb.org. BUNS is located inside the Santa Barbara County Animal Services shelter at 5473 Overpass Road. For more information, go to bunssb.org. — Dave Mason

“It is a beautiful model of what can be done on a typical Santa Barbara property to add density in a sensitive way and increase housing, while preserving and enhancing the scale and character of the existing neighborhood,” said Ms. Feeney. La Rana Canta is built around a large live oak tree that spreads its umbrella over most of the home, creating shade and cooling year round. “Many additions and remodels took place between 1988 and 2015, but the bones of the hunting lodge remain,” said Ms. Feeney. “You see a little Bernard Maybeck influence as well.” Full height, sliding glass panels

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today “To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time.” — Leonard Bernstein

By Dave Green

ARIES — Your mind gives you a great deal of security, Aries, which allows you to explore other worlds. You have your satellite outpost operating smoothly, and you can now take trips into the frontier knowing that you have a secure facility to fall back on. Find new ways to bring love into your life. TAURUS — This is a good time to get more serious about your art, Taurus. You were probably born with talent, but perhaps you don’t treat it with as much respect as someone endowed with only a fraction of your natural ability. Look at your tools realistically and know that you have the power to accomplish a great deal when you put your creative nature into high gear. GEMINI — Don’t assume that the person you’re trying to reach is getting your messages, Gemini. Perhaps you’ve been waiting for a reply, thinking that this person has blown you off. Maybe this person doesn’t understand the question you’re trying to ask. When it comes to matters of love and romance, you’re going to have to spell things out. CANCER — You feel reprimanded because of the way you reacted to a situation that came out differently than you’d hoped. Trust that you acted in the best, calmest, and most understanding way possible. If the person you’re dealing with doesn’t understand your actions, then this is probably more a function of their own baggage and not yours. LEO — Something unusual could put a smile on your face today, Leo. Look for beauty and love in the simplest things. If you can’t see it, then work on adjusting your attitude. Your inner state is likely what needs to be fixed, not the world around you. If you can shift to a light, understanding mood, you’ll receive the laughter and romance that are sure to brighten your day. VIRGO — It’s time to step up to the plate and take responsibility for the things you want to have happen, Virgo. It’s one thing to talk about great visions and dreams, but the bottom line is that they’ll Monday, November 2015 continue to remain16, abstract concepts unless you work to

develop them into something solid and tangible. Test this theory for yourself today. LIBRA — The warm, loving feeling that you’ve been happily nurturing is calling for a bit of practicality in order to make your romantic life work out the way you want it to. Remember that less is more, Libra. Having love and romance in your life doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to be best friends with every person you meet. This is a good time to enjoy more quality time with fewer people. SCORPIO — You might feel a bit reserved when it comes to issues of love and romance, Scorpio. Other people might consider this rather strange when they see that suddenly your courageous forward motion comes to a dramatic halt. Don’t feel like you need to make excuses for the way you feel. It’s probably better if you slow down a bit, especially when it comes to love. SAGITTARIUS — Things are apt to remain quite orderly for you, Sagittarius. Even though your heart may want to soar into the clouds, you’ll find that there’s a stable side to the equation that’s working to keep things in perspective. You might want to consider making a greater commitment to someone you love. You’re of a sound and solid mind to do so now. CAPRICORN — The engagements in your social calendar are likely stacking up to the point of absurdity, Capricorn. Make sure you schedule some time for yourself somewhere in there. Today you’re choosy about your companions. Feel free to say no to people you’d simply rather not see. AQUARIUS — Just because your heart is feeling extra generous now doesn’t mean that you need to send flowers to everyone you know, Aquarius. On a day like this you should channel all your incredible love and affection to one special person. Help him or her feel like an important part of your life. PISCES — You may be confused by your heart, Pisces. It may be extremely frustrating when you can’t keep a tight rein on your emotions. This internal conflict is a signal that there’s a lesson to learn. Perhaps your heart knows something that your conscious mind hasn’t yet realized.

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.

I I

D Y

G H T E R O

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.

Title No. 8752551 ALS No. 2019-4238 aka 2018-4279 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT OF A LIEN, DATED MAY 4, 2018. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT: On September 27, 2021, at 1:00 PM, ASSOCIATION LIEN SERVICES, as duly appointed Trustee under and pursuant to a certain lien, recorded on May 9, 2018, as instrument number 2018-0018905, of the official records of Santa Barbara County, California. WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR LAWFUL MONEY OF THE UNITED STATES, OR A CASHIERS CHECK at: At the main entrance to the County Courthouse, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. The street address and other common designations, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 430 Camino Del Remedio Unit F, Santa Barbara, California 93110 Assessor’s Parcel No. 059-300-072 The owner(s) of the real property is purported to be: Antonio Rodriguez, an unmarried man The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designations, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of a note, homeowner’s assessment or other obligation secured by this lien, with interest and other sum as provided therein: plus advances, if any, under the terms thereof and interest on such advances, plus fees, charges, expenses of the Trustee and trust created by said lien. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $16,288.93. Payment must be in cash, a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state bank or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings & loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. The real property described above is being sold subject to the right of redemption. The redemption period within which real property may be redeemed ends 90 days after the 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 the 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 702-823-0577 (MBL Services) for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website www.mblservicing.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case ALS#2019-4238 aka ALS#2018-4279. 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 schedule sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 702-823-0577 (MBL Services), or visit this internet website www.mblservicing.com, using the file number assigned to this case ALS#2019-4238 aka ALS#20184279 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 fifteen (15) days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than forty-five (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 beneficiary of said Lien hereto executed and delivered to the undersigned, a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell has been recorded. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the County where the real property is located. Date: August 16, 2021 Association Lien Services, as Trustee P.O.

The European Union on Monday recommended that its 27 member nations reinstate travel restrictions for U.S. visitors as COVID-19 cases remain on the rise. The recommendation comes just weeks after the EU lifted restrictions for travelers. Now, with the restrictions renewed, U.S. visitors to the EU bloc may face measures like COVID-19 testing and quarantine upon arrival. It’s also possible that some EU nations may halt non-essential travel from the U.S. altogether, according to national reports. The recommendation, however, is non-binding, meaning that member states will retain control of their own border protection measures. Rising cases across the U.S. have largely been attributed to the highly transmissible delta variant, which has become the most prevalent variant in the nation. In Santa Barbara County, officials have been tracking an uptick in cases associated with the strain in recent weeks. On Tuesday, the county’s Public Health Department reported 93 new cases of COVID-19 and two new deaths. One individual who died was over age 70 and the other individual was between the ages of 50-69. One resided in Lompoc and the other lived in Santa

Maria. Officials reported 29 new cases in Santa Maria, 16 new cases in Santa Barbara and the unincorporated area of Mission Canyon, 16 new cases in Lompoc and the communities of Mission Hills and Vandenberg Village, and 12 cases in Orcutt. Elsewhere in the county, officials reported six cases in the Santa Ynez Valley, five cases in the unincorporated Goleta Valley and Gaviota, four cases in Goleta and one case in Isla Vista. Four cases were pending. Tuesday’s new cases brought the county’s active case rate to 560 infections on Tuesday. According to the Public Health dashboard, cases are occurring at a much higher rate among the unvaccinated as opposed to the vaccinated. As of Aug. 20, the case rate among the unvaccinated was 37.8 per 100,000, while the case rate among the vaccinated was 7.5 per 100,000. As of Tuesday, 75 people were hospitalized with COVID-19, and 18 of those patients were recovering in the ICU. According to the latest vaccination data from Monday, 74% of eligible 12 and older residents are partially vaccinated and 65.1% of that same population if fully vaccinated. Of the county’s entire population, 55.1% of people are fully vaccinated. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com
