Mask mandate ends, COVID-19 cases down

Board of Supervisors moves ahead with Countywide Recreation Master Plan

By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Calling it a “tremendous opportunity” to increase financial opportunities for both the county and private landowners, the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors unanimously agreed to move forward with its Countywide Recreation Master Plan on Tuesday. The board agreed to provide direction as to the expansion of the community plan and potential zoning ordinances. The supervisors also allocated $490,000 for expanded public outreach, planning development and environmental review. The development of the master plan, which the board first approved in 2019, is to identify existing and potential recreational needs across Santa Barbara County and allow for the building and planning of more parks, facilities and trails through 2045. “This has been something the entire board has appreciated, especially during the time of COVID-19,” Chair Joan Hartmann said. “We have a tremendous Please see PARKS on A4

As Santa Barbara County and California prepare to drop mask mandates today for vaccinated individuals in most indoor public settings, county health officials noted COVID-19 cases are dropping. The county reported 143 new cases Monday, down 53% from the previous week, according to a presentation from the county Public Health Department’s presentation Tuesday afternoon before the Board of Supervisors Tuesday afternoon. Active cases on Monday were 1,186, a 49% decrease from the previous week. Numbers were lower in the health department’s latest statistics Tuesday afternoon. On Tuesday, the health department reported 78 new cases and a total of 1,111 active cases. Tuesday was the final day for the statewide indoor mask mandate for vaccinated individuals.

SB City Council picks Bjork as city administrator By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara City Council opened its meeting Tuesday with an announcement: Council members unanimously selected Rebecca Bjork to serve as the city administrator. Ms. Bjork was appointed interim city administrator in August 2021. She has worked with the city of Santa Barbara for more than 33 years, including as the public works director and the interim community development director. She succeeded Paul Casey, who stepped down as city administrator in September. “Her performance in the interim capacity has been accomplished and progressive, and we have every confidence that her experience, management skills and dedication will continue to be an asset to the city of Santa Barbara,” Mayor Randy Rowse said. Additionally Tuesday, the council heard an update from the Community Formation Commission on its work regarding a civilian police oversight group in Santa Barbara. CFC representatives said they plan to come back to the council with a full recommendation in April and asked for an extension of its contract with the National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement, a nonprofit.

No action was needed by the council, and CFC representatives said they will come back to members at a later date with cost details. The council also defeated Tuesday a proposal to change the time of public comment from three minutes per person to two minutes. That proposal would have also moved the consent calendar to before public comment. Mayor Rowse was the only member of the council to vote for the measure. He said the idea was not to restrict public comment but to give more people an opportunity to speak during the 30 minutes allotted for public comment. As for the changes to the calendar, Mr. Rowse had said it would save taxpayer resources by allowing staff needed for the consent calendar to go about other businesses earlier. The Santa Barbara City Council was also tasked Tuesday with considering options for regulating multi-unit housing density and building sizes as well as providing direction on interim methods to incentivize smaller housing units. One of the goals for the general plan presented Tuesday is to “encourage” smaller rental units to be available closer to transit as well as within walking or biking distance to commercial services and recreational options. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

Rebecca Bjork was officially named the Santa Barbara city administrator Tuesday. She has been serving as the interim administrator since Paul Casey stepped down.

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will hold a March 8 hearing to consider ExxonMobil’s plan for interim trucking of crude oil on area highways. A modified project plan includes interim trucking of crude oil to the Santa Maria Pump Station until its estimated shutdown in 2023. The plan will then pivot to the Pentland Terminal either for seven years or until a pipeline becomes available, according to the county. Up to 78 trucks per day could travel between an onshore processing facility at Las Flores Canyon to the Santa Maria Pump Station and the Pentland Terminal with an annual limit set at 24,820 trucks. ExxonMobil’s current permit for the Las Flores Canyon facility stipulates that oil transportation can only be done by pipeline unless the entitlement is changed. Approval of the plan would help ExxonMobil restart three drilling platforms off the Santa Barbara coast, but the planning commission voted 3-2 in November to recommend denial of the proposal. The commission recommended denial because of projected impacts to biological, water and cultural resources in the event of an oil spill, as well as

the proposed trucking’s impacts on health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare. According to findings for denial submitted to the board, the project could “create significant but mitigable impacts” to traffic safety along Calle Real, Highway 101 and State Route 166 with the additional tanker truck trips. But ExxonMobil has said the plan would bring additional revenue and trucking jobs to the area. Representatives also said the plan would be a more environmentally friendly choice because it would reduce the amount of oil shipped into the U.S. from foreign countries. Bryan Anderson, the asset manager for Exxon’s Santa Ynez Unit, previously told commissioners the proposal could bring in $4 million for schools and $2 million for public safety. As previously reported, data from the California Highway Patrol collected between 2015-2021 found 258 trucking accidents along the route resulting in 10 deaths and 110 injuries. In March 2020, a tanker truck crash off State Route 166 spilled more than 4,500 gallons of oil into the Cuyama River above the Twitchell Reservoir. The March 8 hearing is expected to last two hours.

UCSB volleyball player gets player of the week honors By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The No. 6-ranked UCSB men’s volleyball team got a monster week from sophomore libero Ryan Pecsok, who anchored the defense to 52 digs in three matches en route to being named the Off the Block National Libero of the Week as well as the Big West Defensive Player of

the Week. Pecsok topped himself by setting a new career-high in each match, going for 10 digs against No. 5 USC on Feb. 9, 18 at No. 10 GCU on Friday and 24 the following night in a rematch with the Antelopes. His efforts helped the Gauchos win a pair of close matches at GCU, both of which went five sets. The Pacific Palisades native averaged

4.0 digs per set for the week, including a season-best 4.8 in the last contest at GCU. In that match, he had nine digs in the first set alone. Entering the week, his highest total for an entire match had been nine. His 24 digs that night were the most of any player in the nation so far in 2022. Pecsok now has 92 digs for the year, the fifth-most in the country. He also chipped in on offense

with five assists. Pecsok becomes the first Gaucho this season to earn national honors and the third to notch a Big West Player of the Week award, joining Ryan Wilcox (Off) and Donovan Todorov (Def). UCSB has now won six of its last seven matches, all against ranked opponents, and 15 of its last 17 against ranked opponents overall. This week, UCSB returns home to host

No. 13 BYU on Friday and Saturday at Rob Gym. These will be the first of six straight matches for the Gauchos at home, who begin Big West play against No. 11 UC San Diego on Feb. 24. Michael Jorgenson writes about sports for UCSB. email: sports@newspress.com

Court orders UC Berkeley enrollment freeze, could turn away thousands of students By MADISON HIERNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – The University of California Berkeley may have to cut its incoming class size by one-third and lose $57 million in tuition revenue due to a court-ordered enrollment freeze, the university announced Monday. The enrollment freeze stems from an Alameda County Superior Court ruling in August that ordered the university to cap student enrollment at 202021 levels, which the university said Monday was an “abnormally low” enrollment year due to the pandemic. University officials requested a stay of the enrollment injunction, but that request was denied last week by the California

1st District Court of Appeals, requiring the university to adhere to the enrollment freeze. As a result, the university said it would have to reduce the number of undergraduate students enrolled for the upcoming academic year by one-third – amounting to at least 3,050 fewer undergraduate students than initially planned. The university said Monday that it had appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court of California. “If left intact, the court’s decision would have a devastating impact on prospective students, university admissions, campus operations, and the university’s ability to serve California students by meeting the enrollment targets set by the state of California,” the

university said in a statement. “This court-mandated decrease in enrollment would be a tragic outcome for thousands of students who have worked incredibly hard to gain admission to Berkeley.” The university estimated Monday that the enrollment reduction would likely result in significant revenue loss, resulting in about $57 million in lost tuition. Berkeley officials said the losses would impact the school’s ability to provide financial aid, deliver instruction and fund student services. The lower court ruling that ordered an enrollment freeze stemmed from a lawsuit brought forth by a group known as “Save Berkeley’s Neighborhoods,” which challenged the environmental

Candidates and committees in Newsom recall raised more than $142M and spent $145.4M By JOEL WILLIAMS BALLOTPEDIA VIA THE CENTER SQUARE

Candidates and committees raised a combined $142 million for the Sept. 14, 2021, recall election of California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), according to final campaign finance figures. In that election, voters retained Gov. Newsom as governor by a vote of 61.9% to 38.1%. Roughly 12.8 million people voted. The ballot asked voters first if they would like to recall Gov. Newsom, and then who they would like to elect in his place. Candidates and committees raised money for both questions. The California Secretary of State required all candidates in the replacement question and committees registered in support or opposition to the recall effort to file final campaign finance reports on or before Jan. 31, 2022. Those reports became available publicly online in early February. Republican candidates and committees registered in support of the recall raised $53.1 million, while Democratic candidates and committees registered in opposition of the recall raised $88.9 million. Spending totaled $145.4 million, with Republicans and support

committees spending $53.5 million and Democrats and opposition committees spending $91.9 million. On the recall question, committees raised $109.3 million and spent $113.5 million. The nine registered support committees raised $20.9 million and spent $22.2 million. The 20 registered opposition committees raised $88.4 million and spent $91.4 million. This fundraising figure is more than double the average amount raised for recent citizen-initiated ballot measures in California. Committees raised an average of $50.6 million supporting and opposing each of the 31 citizeninitiated measures on the ballot in California from 2016 to 2020. On the replacement candidate question, candidates raised $32.7 million and spent $31.9 million. Republican candidates raised $32.2 million and spent $31.4 million, while Democratic candidates raised $484,497 and spent $529,659. Republicans Larry Elder ($16.8 million), John Cox ($9.4 million), Kevin Faulconer ($2.7 million), and Kevin Kiley ($1.1 million) all raised more than $1 million. Kevin Paffrath ($452,670) and Jacquelin McGowan ($31,827) were the only Democrats to report fundraising.

State to reassess COVID conditions later in month COVID

Continued from Page A1 vaccinated individuals in public indoor settings. Board of Supervisors Chair Joan Hartmann said she plans to still continue wearing her N95 mask even after the mandate ends. According to a presentation to the board Tuesday, a “drastically” higher number of children ages 5-11 in Santa Barbara County remain unvaccinated when compared to the state as a whole:

79% of kids in the county are unvaccinated, compared to 65% in California. As to when masking in schools might lapse, that’s up to the California Department of Public Health. The state plans to reassess COVID conditions later this month, but the county health department’s presentation Tuesday said “it is reasonable that we’re getting close to a point where state masking requirements can be relaxed.” In Santa Barbara County, 71.4% of eligible people are

fully vaccinated against COVID, according to the latest data from the public health department. Hospitalizations and deaths are also down, the data showed Tuesday. Despite urging caution, the message Tuesday was ultimately positive: “The uncertainty about omicron is a lot lower. We now know more even than we did at the beginning of the month,” said Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the Santa Barbara County public health director. email: kschallhorn@newpress.com

Hartmann endorses Capps for Board of Supervisors Joan Hartmann, chair of the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, has endorsed Laura Capps in the race for the board’s 2nd District seat. The seat is currently occupied by Gregg Hart, who is running this year for state Assembly. In announcing her endorsement Tuesday, Supervisor Hartmann

cited Ms. Capps’ work as a member of the Santa Barbara Unified School District board and president of the Community Environmental Council. She noted that as a school board member, Ms. Capps has helped the district to go from 0 to 14 solar energy installations at 21 campuses, She also noted Ms. Capps’ efforts on behalf of the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County, CommUnify and schools, efforts that helped to triple the participation of families in free

summer meal programs. “Laura has a proven record of significant accomplishments while being known as an upbeat, gracious and collaborative leader,” Supervisor Hartmann said in a statement. “She will be a highly valued colleague and much admired member of the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors.” So far, no one else has announced a candidacy in the 2nd District race.

impact of a UC Berkeley project that would expand academic space and add 225 new residence hall beds to the campus. The group challenged the campus expansion under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). According to Berkeleyside, Save Berkeley’s Neighborhoods argued in August that UC Berkeley had exacerbated the city’s housing

(805) 717-1678

crisis because it did not build enough housing for its students. Berkeleyside also reported that the university only houses about 22% of undergraduate and 9% of graduate students. The news of Berkeley’s sustained enrollment freeze prompted responses from several lawmakers on Monday, including Sen. Scott Wiener, DSan Francisco, and the Senate

Housing Committee chair. “Due to a NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) CEQA lawsuit to stop UC Berkeley from expanding to meet growing student need, the University is now forced to rescind 1000s of admission offers,” Sen. Wiener tweeted Monday. “Let’s be clear: This was never the point of CEQA. This broken status quo must change. Stay tuned.”

“Cottage saved my heart with TAVR” – Patrick, Ojai

Patrick has always led an active life but experienced chest pain while hiking. He was suffering from aortic stenosis and needed TAVR—a minimally invasive heart procedure that does not require open heart surgery. Patrick received TAVR by Dr. Michael Shenoda, an interventional cardiologist affiliated with the Cottage Heart & Vascular Center. “I knew I was going to get better, but I was better immediately,” said Patrick. “I feel like my old self again.” He’s been active ever since.

Cottage is a national leader in interventional cardiology— the only hospital on California’s Central Coast that provides all three minimally invasive treatments.

During Tuesday’s meeting, the board discussed proposed expansions of campgrounds, trails, and coastal access as well as possible incentive programs for private landowners. The master plan is expected to support projects across the country eligible for up to $254.9 million in grant funding opportunities under California Proposition 68. In terms of funding, the board was asked Tuesday to allocate $450,000 in previously-budgeted Parks, Trails and Open Space funding as well as $40,000 in equity funding. Of that, $270,000 would be earmarked for planning and development staff to handle potential amendments to the plan and zoning ordinances; $180,000 for Community Services to handle amendment submissions and pay for filing requirements and other planning costs; and $40,000 for expanded public outreach to disadvantaged and underserved communities. The agenda item needed at least four of the five supervisors to approve it, but the decision was unanimous. Supervisor Bob Nelson cautioned against “overplanning” that could stifle creativity for

potential impact to that sector. Among the supporters of the master plan is the city of Goleta. “The proposed use of zoning and other incentives to streamline the permitting of parks and other recreational amenities, along with the comprehensive nature of this plan promises to guide the development of recreational facilities and implementation of recreational programs across the County,” Jaime A. Valdez, Goleta’s neighborhood services director, wrote in a letter to the board.

“The City of Goleta recognizes that in the long term, this plan can be successful in bringing much needed recreational amenities to both unincorporated areas of the County and to cities within the County.” The master plan is a coordinating effort between the county’s Community Services Department, the county’s eight cities and other recreation service providers, including California State Parks. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

n her exhibit, “Marie Schoeff: Amplifying the Between,” the Santa Barbara artist explores a profound yet unpretentious relationship with nature and spirituality. “Marie relies on attentive study of the actual world. Her artistic processes create an amplification of commonplace experiences that transport the viewer between earthly and intangible realms,” said Judy L. Larson, R. Anthony Askew professor of art history and director of the Westmont RidleyTree Museum of Art, where the works are on display through March 26. “Ms. Schoeff’s imagery, rooted in drawing, explores the ethereal, a transcendent space in a spiritual realm. Her strong sense of physical place creates a unique attachment to lines of latitude and longitude where one spends significant time.” Ms. Schoeff, a native of Moscow, Idaho, graduated from Cal State Sacramento and earned a master of fine arts in painting/drawing at Hunter College in New York City. In 1983, she and her husband, Dane Goodman, moved to Santa Barbara, where she taught art at UCSB, Santa Barbara City College and Westmont. Beginning in the late 1990s, Ms. Schoeff’s work shifted from landscapes to iconic female forms using sensual color, rounded shapes and flowerlike bodies. Drawing the female body was also Please see SCHOEFF on B2

While the Chumash Casino Resort’s annual concert to bring awareness to the area’s Toys for Tots campaign did not occur this year, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians maintained its contribution to the campaign’s efforts to supply toys to economically disadvantaged children this holiday season. The tribe has donated $25,000 to this year’s Central Coast Marine Corps Reserves Toys for Tots campaign, which serves families in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties through partnerships with local agencies, such as Unity Shoppe, People Helping People, the Salvation Army, Community Action Commission, Tribal TANF and the United Boys & Girls Club. “We are proud to maintain our long-standing partnership with a nonprofit that makes such a positive impact on children’s lives during the holiday season,” said Kenneth Kahn, tribal chairman for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. This is the 18th consecutive year the tribe has donated $25,000 to the local Toys for Tots campaign. In the past, the Chumash

a very personal response to raising her young daughter. Another major influence at this time was Ms. Schoeff’s immersion into the writings of Carl Jung and his theories on archetypes, dreams, symbolism and the collective unconscious. “I respond particularly to Jung’s premise that humans are innately image-makers,” she said. “My studies of Jung’s work encouraged me to pursue my own pictorial language, with faith in its ability to connect to others on a more primal level. I see my lines and forms as stand-ins for the female body and references to universal experience “Female forms in my work echo my reflections on being a woman, a mother and a daughter. Drawing for me is a meditative process, an amplification of the between, the linking of the ordinary with the spiritual. I suppose my work traces my life experience.” In the early 2000s, Ms. Schoeff experimented with printmaking, resulting in a group of large-scale monotype and drypoint prints. “Amplifying the Between” features a selection of her recent multi-sheet prints and other works that were begun in 2014 and completed during one of seven summer residencies that Ms. Schoeff organized with fellow artists, Linda Ekstrom and Linda Foster. “Marie’s imagery reveals beauty — humble truths that make us, the viewers, feel encouraged or gratified,” Ms. Larson said. email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

FYI “Marie Schoeff: Amplifying the Between” is on display through March 26 at The Westmont RidleyTree Museum of Art. The museum is open 10 a.m to 4 p.m., weekdays and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays. Admission is free. For more information, call 805-5656162 or visit westmont.edu/museum.

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.

ARIES — Some rather unsettling communications could come your way today, perhaps from out of state. This isn’t likely to be anything serious, Aries, but it could be enough to put your nose a little out of joint. Changes in your neighborhood might interfere with your daily routine. TAURUS — Some minor money matters may need to be handled today, Taurus, and you might find this irritating as you probably have other things you’d rather do. The situation could cause some petty friction with family members, but that will pass. However, you’ll be able to muster all your innate skills and get the money matters handled, which will leave the rest of the day to do what you want. Hang in there. GEMINI — The healing of a temporary rift with your partner is likely to take place today, with a lot of honest communication and more apologies than are necessary. You might find that a lot of issues have come out in the open and that there is a new understanding between the two of you. A move could be coming up, Gemini, or at least changes within the household you have now. CANCER — The desire to go off by yourself and enjoy a little solitude is likely to be in conflict with the reality of your obligations today, Cancer. You could find yourself spacing out at times and unable to concentrate on any tasks at hand, so try to stay focused. Some irritating letters or phone calls could come your way, but nothing that you can’t deal with. LEO — Don’t expect any creative projects to go smoothly today, Leo. You could experience mental blocks that you find difficult to get beyond. Don’t let it get to you. The blocks will pass. Just put the project aside and get back to it later. A phone call from a friend might bring some disconcerting news that could cause you to want to pass it on to others. VIRGO — Obligations to others could incline you toward staying home today, Virgo, but important career issues could pull you in to work. This could cause some inner conflict, and you may have to face a choice. Only you can make that choice, but take care to

be objective and take all the facts into consideration. LIBRA — Today you’re likely to feel torn in two different directions, Libra. A part of you could want to sequester yourself somewhere and read, while another part of you feels that you should get out, go somewhere, and do something. You may be more impatient than usual with squabbles between colleagues or family members. SCORPIO — Minor difficulties over money could put you in a state of frustration. The problems aren’t Earthshaking, but they still need to be handled and could take up a lot of time that you’d rather spend doing something else. Giving in to your frustration could waste more time than simply handling the situation and moving on, however. SAGITTARIUS — An argument with your partner could have you feeling very disheartened and somewhat depressed today, Sagittarius. Yet you probably are too shaken up to feel like discussing it with him or her. Spend the day keeping yourself busy and working off your frustration. Forget about it for a while, Sagittarius. CAPRICORN — You might wake up this morning feeling a little less than your usual self, Capricorn, and you might not be able to figure out why. There could be some sort of minor physical imbalance or you might be suffering from eyestrain. This could put you a little out of sorts with yourself and everyone else, particularly if you’re stressed about work responsibilities. AQUARIUS — Today, Aquarius, you might find yourself getting more irritated than you usually would at the quirks of friends, colleagues, partners, and children. Nerves could be frayed and tempers around you frazzled. At times like this it’s best to remain centered and make the effort to be your usual warm and friendly self. PISCES — Temporary difficulties at home might cause you to want to stay and resolve them rather than go to work or anywhere else. However, Pisces, career matters may also be pressing, so you’re likely to be in a bit of a quandary. At this time, the wisest decision is likely to be to take care of your personal life first. Professional matters will still be waiting for you tomorrow.

Senate confirms new FDA head despite some Dem opposition By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – The U.S. Senate confirmed a new head of the Food and Drug Administration Tuesday by a narrow vote crossing party lines. The Senate voted 50-46 to confirm Robert Califf, who served in the same role during the Obama administration. The FDA has come under increasing scrutiny for its role in the opioid epidemic and its approval and authorization process for COVID-19 vaccinations. The confirmation came despite public opposition from several Democrats. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., spoke from the Senate floor about Dr. Califf, attacking his record on the opioid epidemic. “In the five years since Dr. Califf was confirmed, more than 400,000 Americans and 5,000 West Virginians have died from drug-related overdose,” Mr. Manchin said. “Let’s not beat around the bush. Dr. Califf bears a great deal of responsibility for these deaths. We have insight into how he will lead the agency. Under Dr. Califf’s previous tenure, drugrelated overdoses went up. Five years later, they’re up again, and this time at record numbers.” Most Republicans opposed Dr. Califf, though enough supported him to get the nomination confirmed. “Dr. Califf is up to the task of leading the FDA as Congress evaluates its human medical product user fee programs and considers their reauthorization,” said Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C. “He does not believe FDA

has a role in evaluating the cost or price of a medical product. Dr. Califf is supportive of increasing competition in the marketplace to help lower the cost of drugs, including through more generic and biosimilar products. He supports clarifying the diagnostic test regulatory landscape with a law that encourages innovation and provides a clear and predictable pathway to market for diagnostic tests. I believe Dr. Califf will build on the successful lessons learned and progress made during the pandemic response over the last two years, and that he will continue to uphold FDA’s gold standard.” Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., also opposed the nomination, saying he was “disappointed” by the nomination. “I opposed his nomination because I was not convinced that he would stand up to the greed of the pharmaceutical industry, one of the most powerful special interests in Washington,” Mr. Sanders said. “In my view, it is unacceptable that the American people pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. At a time when one in five Americans cannot afford to pay for the medications that have been prescribed to them, we have got to do everything we can to lower the skyrocketing price of prescription drugs. A life-saving drug does no good if a sick patient cannot afford it.” Sens. Burr, Roy Blunt, R-Mo., Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, RAlaska, Mitt Romney, R-Utah, Patrick Toomey, R-Penn., all voted to confirm Dr. Califf.

(The Center Square) – The Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday announced it would retain sole authority to issue airworthiness certificates and perform any final inspections on Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner aircraft. Meanwhile, two members of Congress, including Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Everett, have asked for an investigation into why the FAA decided not to penalize Boeing for fatal crashes involving its 737 MAX. The House Transportation Committee last fall asked the Transportation Department’s Office of Inspector General to conduct a review of the FAA’s oversight on the 787. The lawmakers asked that the review include whether the FAA’s inspection program was sufficient and if the agency

(The Center Square) – People switching jobs during the Great Resignation contributed to rising inflation in 2021, according to a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. “The idea is as follows: By applying for jobs in a different firm, employed workers can elicit wage competition between the current employer and the new candidate employer. The firm that intends to poach the worker from their current employer has to offer a sufficiently large wage to make the offer attractive. And if a worker is particularly valued by their own employer, they may be offered a pay raise that is necessary to retain them in their current job,” authors Renato Faccini, Leonardo Melosi and Russell Miles wrote

changes to the 737 MAX design, flight crew procedures and maintenance procedures effectively mitigate the airplane-related safety issues that contributed to the Flight 610 and Flight 302 accidents.” The FAA said it also concluded that the proposed design changes go beyond safety concerns that accident investigators originally identified in clearing the aircraft to resume flying. Rep. Larsen and Rep. DeFazio sent a letter to the Department of Transportation stating “We respectfully request that you review FAA’s refusal to exercise proper oversight” according to the Seattle Times. The pair have said they think the company, and possibly individual employees, should face civil action. The Department of Justice last year fined Boeing $244 million for concealing design changes that were made after FAA approval.

in Chicago Fed Letter No. 465. “In this context, if employed workers search more, wage competition among employers increases, leading to an increase in inflationary pressures; if they search less, wage competition falls and inflationary pressures decrease.” The authors wrote that “the recent brisk surge in the propensity to search on the job has contributed to raising inflation by around 1 percentage point during most of 2021.” “According to our estimates, the Great Resignation increased the rate of inflation by up to 1.1 percentage points,” the authors wrote. “Interestingly, the contribution to inflation built up from the onset of the pandemic crisis. This inflationary pressure plateaued at its peak of May 2021 and then declined slightly in September 2021. Of

course, there is a lot of uncertainty about the magnitude of these inflationary effects, which are estimated using a theoretical model based on a number of simplifying assumptions about the functioning of the economy.” The authors also noted that “more research on the reasons behind the desire to change jobs among U.S. workers will be needed to determine how persistent these inflationary pressures are likely to be.” The Bureau of Labor Statistics released its Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, a key marker of inflation, earlier this month. That data showed prices increased 0.6% in the month of January and 7.5% since last year, contributing to one of the biggest inflation spikes in decades.

had enough inspectors. Boeing has slowed production on the 787 to two per month until the FAA signs off on safety improvements. Problems first popped up in the fall of 2020 when engineers found gaps between fuselage sections. The company then said it discovered that fuselage and tail sections made in Italy and shipped to the U.S. contained titanium that did not meet specifications. Rep. Larsen, who chairs the House Aviation Subcommittee, and Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., who chairs the House Transportation Committee, sent a letter last week to the same Inspector General’s Office asking for a review the FAA’s decision regarding the 737. In a final report last November, the agency stated that “Through a thorough, transparent and inclusive process, the FAA has determined that Boeing’s proposed

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 visit the website below using the file number assigned to this case. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled 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 (858) 410-2154, or visit this internet website [see link below], using the file number assigned to this case [TS 1018479] 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.
