uBreakiFix opens in SB Technology repair shop serves customers on State Street
Biden: Get vaccinated or lose federal funds President calls for requirement for staff at all nursing homes By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that he is directing all nursing homes nationwide to vaccinate their staff or risk losing federal funding. President Biden said he is asking the Department of Health and Human Services to develop new regulations that would require all staff to be vaccinated at nursing homes as a condition for receiving money from Medicare and Medicaid. The new measure comes as the latest escalation in the Biden administration’s efforts to increase the country’s inoculation rate. It’s also the first time the president has utilized federal leverage to enforce a vaccine mandate. “Now, if you visit, live or work at a nursing home, you should not be at a high risk of contracting COVID from unvaccinated employees,” the president said during a speech at the White House. “While I’m

Local colleges are stressing vaccination as the fall semester begins amid a wave of COVID-19 infections. But each institution has its own unique plan to keep students safe. Santa Barbara City College, whose board took a series of votes before signing a vaccination mandate Aug. 5, begins the new school year Monday. A spokesperson for the school told the News-Press
that the administration hopes “that students are able to get reacclimated to campus in this transitional semester and that health and safety protocols are effective in mitigating the spread of COVID-19.” About 30% of City College courses are in-person this fall. Students, staff and visitors will fill out a survey on their smartphones (or on a sheet of paper) to ensure they are healthy upon check-in each school day and receive daily wristbands.

GOLETA — The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office is investigating vandalism that occurred at Gish Park, near a storage shed investigators believe was burned down by an arsonist. The vandalism damaged a playground area with writing on a sidewalk and a planter area. The writing referenced “burning.” A sheriff’s deputy responded to the Hochman Family Plaza of Girsh Park at approximately 9:39 a.m. Wednesday to make a report of the vandalism, less than 12 hours after the shed fire. The shed fire investigation is ongoing. Sheriff’s deputies and the Santa Barbara County Fire investigator will coordinate to determine if the two crimes are linked.

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported 113 new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday, bringing the county’s active case total to 783 infections. Officials reported 29 cases in both Santa Barbara and Santa Maria, 23 new cases in Lompoc and just four new cases in Orcutt on Thursday. Four cases were also reported in Goleta, the unincorporated Goleta Valley and Gaviota and the north county unincorporated areas of Sisquoc, Casmalia, Garey, Cuyama and New Cuyama and the City of Guadalupe, and three cases were reported in the Santa Ynez Valley. Eleven cases were pending on Thursday. The Public Health Department also provided updated information on Thursday regarding two community members that were confirmed on Wednesday to have died of
COVID-19. The individuals who died were between the ages of 5069, and one had underlying health conditions. One individual resided in Goleta and the other lived in Santa Maria. On Thursday, 63 people were hospitalized with COVID-19, and 10 of those patients were recovering in the ICU. According to the county’s latest vaccination data, 63.5% of eligible county residents ages 12 and older are fully vaccinated, and 72.5% of that same population has received at least one shot. Of the county’s total population, 53.8% of people were fully vaccinated as of Wednesday (the county’s vaccination data has a one-day lag).

City College students who upload proof of full COVID-19 vaccination receive a $100 incentive. To enter campus, City College staff and students must be fully vaccinated by Oct. 1. The school is accommodating those who have exemptions due to medical, disability or religious reasons. Allan Hancock College, which began its semester Monday, is taking a similar approach to SBCC. All students and staff must be vaccinated by Oct. 1, and administrators are going to detail exemptions in September. “Hancock is carefully monitoring the ever-evolving situation with regards to the COVID-19 virus. The college continues to base its COVID-19 safety and health protocols and policies on the latest guidance from federal, state and county health officials,” Chris McGuinness, Hancock’s public affairs and communications analyst, told the News-Press Thursday. In compliance with local guidelines, students and staff must wear masks inside. The
school will be providing masks for those who forget. Classrooms are equipped with air filters, and hand sanitizing stations are located throughout the campuses. “After more than a year-anda-half of remote learning, our students are excited to return to campus for in-person classes,” Mr. McGuiness said. “Our administration, staff and faculty worked tirelessly to ensure that our students return to a campus that promotes learning while also ensuring a safe and healthy environment.” A combined total of just over 9,000 credit and non-credit students are enrolled in fall classes at Allan Hancock, which has its main campus in Santa Maria. About 25% of classes are online. Westmont College starts its semester Aug. 30 with 1,250 students both on and off campus. The Montecito college is accommodating a few students who are unable to return to inperson and are continuing their coursework online. “We are planning for traditional in-person learning and will accommodate remote instruction should we be required to do so if COVID-19 cases rise in our county. Otherwise, we plan to put

Zoom on the backshelf as much as possible,” said Irene Neller, the vice president for enrollment, marketing and communications. “We are glad to know, after the success of remaining open all last year, that we can shift to it if we need to for a temporary moment.” While vaccination is not required, those who are not inoculated will receive regular testing for the virus. Competing student-athletes must be vaccinated. Initial surveys from the college show that over 80% of faculty and staff are fully vaccinated. Students and staff will electronically report symptoms, or lack thereof, daily. The system will anonymously notify departments of potential cases. Large classes are able to move outside under tents, and Westmont is planning community gatherings under health and safety guidelines. Ms. Neller is excited about the Westmont Class of 2025, which has an average 3.99 GPA. Almost 40% of incoming students are Hispanic, Asian American, black, Hawaiian Pacific Islander, Native American and/or multiracial. UCSB will launch into the new semester Sept. 23. It is planning on “primarily in-person
instruction,” UCSB Deputy News Director Shelly Leachman told the News-Press. The UC system was one of the first to require vaccination. UCSB administrators meet with county health officials and faculty leadership and monitor changes in guidelines. The incoming Gauchos are described by the admissions office as “resilient and creative.” “They transitioned to online learning, found creative ways to continue with their extracurricular activities, and often served in expanded roles in their households, handling needs and tasks such as grocery shopping, errands and more, so that more at-risk family members didn’t have to risk exposure,” Ms. Leachman said. “Admissions staff also saw higher levels of anxiety and stress disorders being reported among incoming students, which is not unexpected given the pandemic.” Westmont and UCSB provide COVID-19 data dashboards so families can see the status of the virus on campus. Westmont’s dashboard is online at westmont. edu/covid-19, and UCSB’s data is available at ucsb.edu/COVID-19information/dashboard. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

low-priced 90-day warranty on any repairs. Mark Gonzales, the owner of the new Santa Barbara storefront, told the News-Press Thursday that he and his tech team are looking forward to serving the local community’s needs with their expertise and fast turnaround time. “We’re basically looking forward to helping whoever needs
anything done. I know right now it is really important for any consumer, if you break your phone and you can’t use it, it’s really tough,” Mr. Gonzales said. “So us being there and the only store that can provide same day service — the common reviews we get are ‘oh man, you can fix it in 2 hours’ and (customers) are very happy with the service.” “Not many stores can carry those parts, and that’s the main advantage we have because we get things done right away, and (we) help the community by
having the parts available and the right technicians for every job.” Mr. Gonzales started working with uBreakiFix in 2019 when he opened his first franchise store near Reno, Nev. Prior to his involvement with the franchise, Mr. Gonzalez worked in the smartphone repair industry since 2006 after the launch of the first iPhone. He now owns three uBreakiFix stores — two near Reno and the new location in Santa Barbara. He said he and his family have

From wacky to wicked to inspired Small screen delights include ‘The Good Fight,’ ‘The Greatest #At Home Videos,’ ‘Why Women Kill’

Kiara Barnes plays an old soul in a young body on “Fantasy Island.”
LAURA MAGRUDER/FOX
o one could be more wacky than Judge Wackner. That’s clear on “The Good Fight,” where Mandy Patinkin is clearly having fun portraying a rogue judge with his court behind a Chicago copy shop. He strikes a bell when one lawyer or the other scores a point, and he sometimes makes plaintiffs and defendants wear animal costumes to ensure he and the jury are impartial. The Paramount-+ series, which has new episodes on Thursdays, is among the quirky and fun shows on streaming services or TV this summer. Another one is “Why Women Kill,” which surpassed its first season with a second season in its comedy, drama and plot twists. Like “The Good Fight,” it’s on the Paramount+ streaming service. All episodes from the season are available. Back in the land of TV, a classic, “Fantasy Island,” has been rebooted — again. This time, actress, singer and songwriter Roselyn Sanchez plays Elena Roarke, a descendant of Mr. Roarke, the congenial host played by Ricardo Montalban in the original ABC series in the 1970s. He was portrayed again by Ojai star Malcom McDowell in ABC’s 1998-99 series, but the character put aside Mr. Montalban’s white suits for a dark suit more fitting with a darker character. Both versions stream on Fox’s Tubi. “Fantasy Island” was also rebooted as a 2020 horror movie in which guests’ dreams turn into nightmares. Now the series is back on TV, and Elena has set aside her own dreams to grant the dreams of others, with an ironic twist. The show also stars Kiara Barnes (“The Bold and the
Beautiful”) as Ruby Okoro, a young woman with an old soul and John Gabriel Rodriquez as pilot Javier. “Fantasy Island” airs at 9 p.m. Tuesdays. Not to be missed is the fun on “The Good Fight,” whose executive producers include Robert and Michelle King, the Montecito couple who co-created the “Good Wife” spinoff with Phil Alden Robinson. This season’s storylines include the absurdity and poignancy of Judge Wackner’s court, which raises the question of how far a rogue court can go without any official legal authority. You’d be surprised. Another intriguing storyline is the complicated relationship between law firm partners Diane Lockhart and Liz Reddick (Christine Baranski and Audra McDonald respectively). They’re friends who can be rivals. Will the friendship win out? This season also features good plot twists for investigator-turnedlaw associate Marissa Gold (Sarah Steele), who ends up as the clerk in the wacky court. Investigator Jay Dipersia (Nyambi Nyambi) is having hallucinations of historical figures talking to him, and Diane is getting advice from a legend. I won’t spoil who the legend is. By the way, Mr. Patinkin, who appeared on shows such as “Chicago Hope” and “Criminal Minds,” told this writer once about his favorite character of all time. It’s not too inconceivable. He said his favorite was Inigo Montoya from “The Princess Bride” (1987), and Mr. Patinkln recited the signature line, which his character repeated without missing a beat in his swordfights: “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” Back to new shows. If you feel like binge-watching, “Why Please see TV on B2

Alma (Allison Tolman) develops her strategy on “Why Women Kill,” which leaves viewers in suspense about who will be the killers, who will be the victims.
TV
Continued from Page B1 Women Kill” is ideal. Like the first season, the second season is a blend of comedy and drama and plays like the time period it’s set in. Set this season in 1949, the show feels like a 1940s comedy of errors. Allison Tolman stars as Alma, who desperately wants to join an exclusive high-society club. But what will she have to become in the process?
Things get more complicated when Alma discovers her husband Bertram (Nick Frost), a sweet veterinarian, has a dark secret. And there’s a lot of other plot twists and surprises. Like the first season, “Why Women Kill” goes beyond standard whodunits, leaving viewers wondering who will be the killers, who will be the victims and how will the deaths occur. This brilliant series was created by Marc Cherry, the creator of ABC’s “Desperate Housewives.”
And tonight, CBS is broadcasting the season premiere of “The Greatest #At Home Videos.” It’s hosted by singer Paula Abdul and Cedric the Entertainer. Tonight, they surprise a shy college-bound babysitter, who became a viral sensation after a covert video showed her great singing voice. The show airs at 9 on KCOY, Channel 12, and you can catch episodes later on Paramount+. email: dmason@newspress.com

ARIES — You may be considering taking a trip or planning a party with some friends, Aries. You may find out today that it’s up to you to do all the organizing. This won’t bother you too much because you know you’ll do it right. Why don’t you think about really trying to outdo yourself and plan something special that your friends will never forget? TAURUS — This could be the luckiest day of the month, Taurus. But astrology also takes your role into account. In other words, luck is something you have to work for. If you seem to have an incredible streak of luck today, it’s probably because you did something earlier to make it happen! GEMINI — If you get asked to lead a team in your personal or professional life, jump at the chance. Today you will get all the support you need, Gemini. Don’t be afraid that you’re not good enough. Things will come together without your having to do much at all. Besides, you already know that people are on your side! CANCER — You couldn’t dream of a better day to deal with all the little problems in your daily life - broken washing machine, money problems, minor health issues. If your doctor has given you a prescription, you can expect it would work like a miracle drug. Cancer, take care of the little things. It will take less time than you think! LEO — Perhaps you can’t believe it, but it’s time to say goodbye to your rigid attitude. A little pleasure among all that seriousness and responsibility won’t do you any harm. This day could help you change your point of view on life. This will feel great! VIRGO — Life is helping you out at the moment, Virgo. You might chalk it up to some divine power. Whatever it is, your guardian angel is always by your side. Perhaps you’d like to begin something new in your life, like moving or changing lifestyles. At the moment you can do anything you want to do. It will all work out just fine! Monday, November 16, ever 2015 LIBRA — Have you thought about writing or
working for a company in which you can use your excellent communication skills, Libra? The planetary alignment emphasizes writing and communication. It’s time to show the world that you have a gift and that people can count on you to do a great job. Think about the publishing business. SCORPIO — If you’ve been thinking of living somewhere else, Scorpio, today will push you to really want to move far away from the place you’re living now. Such a move could have consequences for your work situation or family life. It may be time to think seriously about what’s holding you back. Wouldn’t the people closest to you be happy to go along? SAGITTARIUS — You have a great day ahead of you, Sagittarius. Everything will work out like clockwork. By the end of the day, you’ll still have the energy to do something fun with your evening. It’s a wonderful day for group activities. If you aren’t involved in any, why not try a sport, hobby, music, or art? CAPRICORN — You may have received some bad news concerning your finances, Capricorn. This is probably the best day you could ask for out of the whole month to deal with these problems. If you want to come out of this situation a winner, it may be necessary to approach things from a different angle than usual. Rest assured that things will probably work out just fine. AQUARIUS — Today is a relatively calm day that’s sure to please you, Aquarius. You may even receive gifts from family and friends as marks of their esteem or love for you. This is just the kind of reassurance you need. Though you have a fairly subtle influence in your relationships with others, it’s nevertheless essential to you to be a good friend. PISCES — Everyone knows that nothing can stop you when you’re determined to get something done. As long as other people are on your side today, you will be amazed at all the things you can accomplish. But don’t get too excited, Pisces, because it’s time to take care of those thankless tasks that no one wants to deal with. You may need other people’s help to get them done.

CODEWORD PUZZLE
SUDOKU
Thought for Today
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.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER On 9/15/2021 at 1:00 PM, CLEAR RECON CORP, as duly appointed trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded 9/6/2007 as Instrument No. 2007-0064507 of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Santa Barbara County, State of CALIFORNIA executed by: BRIAN P MILBURN, AND LAURA J MILBURN, HUSBAND AND WIFE AS COMMUNITY PROPERTY WITH RIGHT OF SURVIVORSHIP WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER’S CHECK DRAWN ON A STATE OR NATIONAL BANK, A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE; AT THE NORTH DOOR OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE, 1100 ANACAPA ST., SANTA BARBARA, CA 93101 all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State described as: MORE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 223 CONEJO RD, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93103-1639 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $120,352.36 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 094219-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 094219-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

The State Department announced that 6,000 people, including Americans, were processed for evacuation at the Kabul airport on Thursday as efforts continue to remove Americans and Afghan allies from the country. State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters Thursday that the U.S. had airlifted a total of 7,000 evacuees since the Taliban overthrew the nation’s government on Sunday. Mr. Price said priority is being given to American citizens and green card holders for boarding. During the press briefing Thursday, Mr. Price also acknowledged the “congestion” surrounding the Kabul airport, acknowledging reports that some Americans have had trouble reaching the airport safely. According to Reuters, 12 people total have been killed around the airport in Kabul as of Thursday. The report from Reuters cites an unnamed Taliban official who said the deaths were caused either by stampedes or gunshots in the area surrounding the airport. Since Monday, crowds have

flocked to the airport in desperate attempts to catch an evacuation flight. Earlier this week, the Taliban told U.S. officials it would provide safe passage for civilians to the Kabul airport. However, numerous national outlets have reported the Taliban targeting Afghans attempting to flee to the airport in recent days. Various reports say the militants have established military checkpoints across Kabul, and images of men, women and children allegedly beaten and whipped by the militants have circulated online in recent days. Various protests were reported across Afghanistan on Thursday in the Kunar and Khost provinces. Numerous media outlets reported that a demonstration involving the Afghan flag took place outside the Kabul airport on Thursday as well. The protests came just a day after the Taliban clashed with protestors in Jalalabad on Wednesday, leading to the death of at least one Afghan who attempted to take down the militant group’s banner and replace it with the nation’s flag.

homes that employ about 1.3 million workers, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. About 62% of nursing home staff nationwide were fully vaccinated as of Aug. 8, and about 82.8% of nursing home residents nationwide are fully vaccinated, according to data from CMS. In accordance with the Biden administration’s announcement, the CMS said Wednesday it is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to develop an emergency requirement for staff vaccinations at nursing homes. The new measures from the White House and the CMS could be rolled out as early as next month, according to the statement. With the rapid spread of the delta variant, CMS officials said a vaccine requirement is a “key component” in protecting vulnerable residents. “Keeping nursing home residents and staff safe is our priority. The data are clear that higher levels of staff vaccination are linked to fewer outbreaks among residents, many of whom are at an increased risk of infection, hospitalization or death,” CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure said in a statement Wednesday. “We will continue to work closely with our partners at the CDC, long-term

care associations, unions and other stakeholders to advance policies that keep residents and staff safe. As we advance these new requirements, we’ll work with nursing homes to address staff and resident concerns with compassion and by following the science.” Wednesday’s announcement from the White House prompted reaction from a nursing home industry group who said the mandate does not go “far enough” and should apply to all healthcare settings. With a vaccine mandate only in place in nursing care facilities, the industry could face a “disastrous workforce challenge,” Mark Parkinson, president and CEO of the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted, said in a statement Wednesday. “Focusing only on nursing homes will cause vaccinehesitant workers to flee to other healthcare providers and leave many centers without adequate staff to care for residents,” Mr. Parkinson said. “It will make an already difficult workforce shortage even worse. The net effect of this action will be the opposite of its intent and will affect the ability to provide quality care to our residents. We look forward to working with the administration in the coming days to develop solutions to overcome this challenge.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com
