Grand Canyon and more NatureTrack Film Festival to open in-person in Los Olivos and online
By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
NatureTrack Film Festival returns Oct. 16 with a hybrid format of a one-day, pop-up festival in Los Olivos and a virtual festival Oct. 17-31. The festival showcases natureloving cinema and raises money for the NatureTrack Foundation to provide outdoor field trips year round. The in-person festival on Oct. 16 will show 30 films, and the virtual festival will feature 76 works.
Seven films will make their U.S. premiere at NatureTrack. Producers of five films plan to make their movies’ California premiere. Sue Eisaguirre, founder and director of the NatureTrack Foundation, was nervous the festival may not receive enough movies because her two-week submission period felt rushed. But she was thrilled to receive 800 submissions. NatureTrack created one of this year’s films alongside Golden Sage Productions. It highlights the
organization’s new wheelchairfriendly hikes, which use a device Ms. Eisaguirre calls a “freedom track.” It turns any wheelchair into an all-terrain vehicle, suitable for the beach or trail. “It’s just one more way that we can connect people to the outdoors — and include everybody,” she told the News-Press Thursday. One of her favorites submissions is “Wild,” an animation of a lizard that falls from a plane. Another highlight, “Sebastian and Max’s Grand Canyon Adventure,” is directed by Oregon
resident Max King, who documents Montecito resident Sebastian Salsbury’s 23-mile trail run in the Grand Canyon. “It’s like Pixar’s ‘Bird on a Wire’ where you can watch it over and over and just smile,” Ms. Eisaguirre told the News-Press. BBC’s “Antarctica” is another noteworthy film, taking viewers into the coldest place on Earth and explaining why it matters.

Pfizer and BioNTech announced Thursday that the company has officially asked the Food and Drug Administration to approve its vaccine under an Emergency Use Authorization for use among children ages 5 to 11. If the request is approved by the FDA, the vaccine will become the first authorized for use among children under the age of 12 in the U.S. and would pave the way for nearly 28 million children to receive a reduced-dose Pfizer shot. The Pfizer vaccine has emergency authorization for use among 12- to 15-year-olds and is fully approved for everyone over age 16. “With new cases in children in the U.S. continuing to be at a high level, this submission is an important step in our ongoing effort against COVID-19,” Pfizer wrote in a statement on Twitter. “We’re committed to working with the FDA with the ultimate goal of helping protect children against this serious public health threat.” The formal EUA request comes about a week after Pfizer submitted data from clinical trials among kids ages 5 to 11 to the FDA for further review. According to the results of clinical trials that included more than 2,000 children, the company

Planning Commission at odds on future of AUD By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
The Santa Barbara Planning Commission left its meeting with a patchwork of ideas after hearing an analysis of the city’s proposed replacement to the Average Unit Density program. The AUD program, which encouraged developers to build apartments near work centers and incentivized affordable units, expires in February. The city hopes to replace it with a floor-to-lot area ratio (FAR) program, with acceptable ratios set by a map. Project Planner Jessica Metzger said the plan is not complete, and the city has yet to fully consider environmental impacts and recent legislation from the state. The AUD program will likely be extended while a full plan is
drafted and voted on, she said. Properties in the central business district can build up to a 3.0 ratio, which is a four-story building with minimal open space. The plan offers incentives to those who offer more than the required number of low-income units. The incentive is up to a 20% boost in the FAR, which would boost the central most buildings to up to a 3.6 ratio. Four of the seven commissioners and many public commenters said that seemed too high. “I appreciate the work effort, but we’re talking about dramatically increasing FAR while compromising on important design standards and then pushing building heights to 60 feet in order to gain an Please see AUD on A4

TRAFFIC, CRIME & FIRE BLOTTER Man found guilty of child molestation SANTA BARBARA — A Santa Barbara jury on Wednesday unanimously found a local man guilty of seven counts of child molestation committed against his two daughters. The man, Howard W., 59, was arrested and prosecuted after his daughters spoke of their abuse to local school counselors, according to a news release from the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s office. The school counselors reported the abuse to Child Welfare Services, which spurred an investigation by Sgt. Matt Banks of the Sheriff’s Office.
In addition to the seven counts of child molestation, the jury also found to be true the special allegation that Mr. W. committed the child molestations against multiple victims, according to the news release. “The heroic victims/survivors showed great courage in testifying and confronting their abuser in order to hold him accountable for her horrendous acts of molestation and child abuse,” District Attorney Joyce Dudley said in a statement after Wednesday’s jury decision. The defendant is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Thomas R. Adams on Nov. 15 at 1:30 p.m. in Department 1 of the Santa Barbara Superior Court.

The Santa Barbara City College women’s volleyball team won its eighth match in a row Wednesday, defeating Ventura in three sets at the SBCC Sports Pavillion. Game scores were 26-24, 25-21 and 25-21. The Vaqueros, who are ranked No. 7, are now 13-2 overall and 2-0 for the Western State Conference. “I’m extremely proud of how we played against a solid Ventura team that is ranked 17th in the state,” City College head coach Kat Niksto said in a news release. “Our middles, Paige Rudi and Karoline Ruiz, were once again dominant, each with a pair of blocks and eight and 10 kills, respectively.” Freshman hitter Bella Johnson led all players with 11 kills. Lily Krongold and Caroline McCarty made 5 and 4 kills, respectively. Libero Jacelin Mckie went for more 20 digs for the fourth time this year, posting a match high of 23. She now has 255 for the year — the third highest number in the Western State Conference.

Judge blocks enforcement of Texas’ near-total abortion ban By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Days after thousands rallied in Santa Barbara and beyond in support of reproductive rights, a federal judge on Wednesday blocked Texas’ near-total ban on abortion by granting a Justice Department request to halt enforcement of the law. U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman in Austin, Tex., ordered the state on Wednesday to suspend its restrictive abortion law, which prohibits women from obtaining an abortion after cardiac activity is detected (usually around six weeks of pregnancy). The law, known as Senate Bill 8, allows private citizens to file reports and lawsuits against abortion providers who violate the restrictions and, in turn, receive up to $10,000 in damages. In his 113-page ruling, the judge sided with the Biden administration, who sued Texas on Sept. 9 and sought a temporary injunction, arguing that it violated the U.S. Constitution. The Biden administration’s action came after the U.S. Supreme Court set the legislation in motion on Sept. 1 in a 5-4 vote against blocking the law. Judge Pitman criticized the law in his ruling, writing that Texas “contrived an unprecedented and transparent statutory scheme” to limit a person’s Constitutional right to obtain an abortion prior to fetal viability. “From the moment SB 8 went into effect, women have been unlawfully prevented from exercising control over their lives in ways protected by the Constitution,” the judge wrote. “That other courts may find a way to avoid this conclusion is theirs to decide; this Court will not sanction one more day of this offensive deprivation of such an important right.” Very soon after the ruling, Texas officials notified the court that they intend to appeal the ruling to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, plunging the state into the next phase of legal battles.
In response to Wednesday’s ruling, reproductive rights activists and care providers praised the judge’s decision as the first step toward restoring abortion access for women in Texas. But many also noted that threats to reproductive freedom remain. “The action of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas granting a preliminary injunction is an important, if potentially temporary, victory,” Luz Reyes-Martín, the vice president of community engagement for Planned Parenthood California Central Coast, told the News-Press in a statement. “But there remain significant threats to abortion rights across the country. For 36 days, abortion access has been decimated as Roe v. Wade became effectively meaningless for countless Texans. Most abortion patients in Texas have been forced to travel out of state for care or continue their pregnancy against their will.” Ms. Reyes-Martín added that the “doors are open” to serve patients with reproductive healthcare at Planned Parenthood California Central Coast, and the organization will work to ensure this access remains available. “We are proud to have a governor and state legislative leaders that support access to reproductive care,” Ms. ReyesMartín said. “We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that access to reproductive health care — including abortion — remains in California.” The Women’s March organization, which spearheaded hundreds of protests across the nation last Saturday, wrote in a series of tweets that the organization is celebrating Wednesday’s ruling while also acknowledging that “the fight isn’t over.” “Texas will appeal. Which means the law could be back in place soon,” the organization tweeted. “But we know this —

hundreds of thousands of us showed up last weekend for abortion justice, and we’re not done yet.” Texas’ abortion legislation is just one of several laws that have set the stage for the biggest challenge against abortion rights in the U.S. in decades. On Monday, the Supreme Court began its new term, which will include arguments in a case
involving a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Mississippi has asked the court to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that guaranteed a women’s right to abortion across the nation. The court is scheduled to hear this case Dec. 1. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Continued from Page A1 5.9 million children have tested positive for COVID-19 throughout the pandemic. While kids are at less of a risk of contracting severe COVID-19 illness compared to older individuals, public health experts say vaccine use among children would offer an added layer of protection against illness. Dr. Henning Ansorg, the Santa Barbara County public health officer, told the News-Press on Wednesday that children in the 5-to-11 age group make up about 10% of the entire county’s population. He said the county has seen an uptick in cases among younger children recently, largely due to the fact that kids

It is just the second time the organization has hosted the races. Day in the Country will take place both Oct.16 and 17. Tickets for the NatureTrack Film Festival can be purchased for individual films or full passes. The in-person and online pass is $100, and the online-only pass is $75.

He acknowledged, however, that all vaccines come with risks. Dr. Ansorg noted some of the COVID-19 vaccines have caused myocarditis among younger people, particularly males between ages 15 to 30. While this could be a concern for parents, Dr. Ansorg said there are more people in the 15-to-30 age group
additional five maybe 10% of affordability. And we give up a lot,” Commissioner Barrett Reed said. “So 3.6 — if you put more affordable units in it is, to me, alarming,” Commissioner Lesley Wiscomb said. “It can really change the streetscape in our downtown area.” But Vice Chair Gabriel Escobedo thought the FARs should be higher. “I think that we need to provide opportunities for these (small) spaces to actually produce housing. And try not to do with the bare minimum,” he said. “We are in this position because we didn’t build housing for decades.” He expressed frustration with the lack of housing for the workforce. “To be honest, to me, it sounds like we’re OK with lower-income people driving into town from miles and miles away,” he said. “That’s an environmental impact. That’s not being taken into consideration.” Commissioners discussed the success of the AUD program in regard to workforce housing, as some questioned the affordability of new developments. Commissioner Jay Higgins argued that while some new complexes may be for middle income and up, it makes the pre-existing complexes more affordable. Commissioner Sheila Lodge disagreed. She reasoned that if new people move to town and fill the new units, more service workers are needed and demand increases for low-income housing. The commission also
who suffer from heart problems due to contracting COVID-19 than from the vaccine. “The benefits of the vaccine are overwhelmingly better than their risks,” Dr. Ansorg said, adding that the latest studies have not shown a trend of children having significant problems or reactions to the vaccine. For parents who may be skeptical of getting their young children vaccinated, Dr. Ansorg said he recommends parents talk with their child’s pediatrician as opposed to going on a “wild goose hunt” on the internet for information. “It’s really important to get your information from trusted sources, and it’s usually very helpful to talk to your doctor who knows your child and understands the risks and your preferences and
discussed whether it liked the FAR format. Mr. Reed was disillusioned at the plan in comparison to new ideas like private-public partnerships and adaptive reuse. Ms. Wiscomb was in favor of FAR but wanted the map to include more protection for historic resources. She also wanted to hear the full plan before expressing support. Commissioner Lodge expressed concern FAR would incentivize boring structures unfitting with Santa Barbara’s architectural fabric. “We have such an incredible architectural heritage. And it’s such a part of what Santa Barbara is to us, and to the rest of the world. And going to FAR … we’ll lose all of the charm that we have in Santa Barbara,” she said. Chair Deborah Schwartz said tools have not been used to assess the AUD program throughout the decade. A consultant presented analysis that the FAR plan was viable but suggested the Planning Commission find a way to incentivize development on small lots or streamline the process. Commissioners questioned his methodology and critiqued the average rent price presented by the firm. The report said the average two-bedroom apartment rents for $3,262 in Santa Barbara. Commissioners said it was not indicative of the Central Business District and wanted better findings. Another Planning Commission hearing is scheduled for Nov. 4, and the city will have more details on environmental impacts and at its next step. email: ahanshaw@newspress. com can really have a dialogue with you,” Dr. Ansorg said. “That’s my encouragement to parents who are a little unsure or uncertain.” “Do not just trust anything because it’s printed or published on the internet — there’s just too much unsubstantiated information out there that is frankly false,” he added. The FDA’s independent advisory panel is expected to review the clinical trial evidence and discuss authorization during a meeting on Oct. 26. If the FDA authorizes emergency use of the Pfizer vaccine among children, it will be up to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to review the data and make the final decision before the shots are rolled out. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Brothers Osborne to take the stage

Brothers Osborne named its current We’re Not Everyone Tour after its latest single, “I’m Not For Everyone.”
Country duo comes to Santa Barbara Bowl By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR
T
he honesty of country music always struck a chord with Brothers Osborne. “We listened to country music and classic rock,” John Osborne told the News-Press about growing up with his brother, TJ Osborne, in a musical family in the blue collar town of Deale, Md. “It resonated with us, songs about life — three chords and the truth. It seemed genuine,” Mr. Osborne said. “There’s something very authentic about what we do,” he said about Brothers Osborne. “We will always be ourselves.” The brothers, who both play guitar, will bring their brand of country music for a concert at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Santa Barbara Bowl. Mr. Osborne promises “a very loud country show. “Certainly there are a lot of elements of rock music, a little bit of fiddle, a little bit of steel guitar. It definitely has a big country element,” said Mr. Osborne, who recalled performing previously in Santa Barbara but not at the bowl. He said today’s country music is similar to 1970s rock. “Rock music has been in a crisis last decade. It doesn’t know what it is; it’s disappearing. A lot of rock musicians have found refuge in country music.” In fact, a rock-inspired song is among Mr. Osborne’s favorites from the “Skeletons” album. It’s “All The Good Ones,” which he described as a “throwback to 1970s American rock.” The duo has won the hearts of fans and attracted the attention of the Country Music Association. Brothers Osborne recently received three CMA nominations — Vocal Duo of The Year, Album of the Year for the duo’s latest release, “Skeletons,” and Music
Video of the year for “Younger Me.” “The category you expect is the duo category, although we never want to take that for granted,” Mr. Osborne said. “The other two nominations came as a surprise, especially Album of the Year, a very big category for artists.” The two brothers developed their love for country music and classic rock while growing up in a musical family. They were the sons of a father who played guitar and sang and a mother who also did vocals. Both parents wrote songs. “They inspired us,” Mr. Osborne said. “We didn’t know a life without music. Honestly at this point, we don’t know how to do anything else.” Mr. Osborne also noted he and TJ are not the typical vocal duo. “I do sing some harmonies with my brother, but my voice in the band is through my guitar playing,” Mr. Osborne said. “TJ’s voice is his big baritone. “We approach our songs from more of a musician accompanying a singer,” he said. Mr. Osborne said he and his brother like to co-write songs about real life. “It’s being as honest with yourself as you can be,” he said. “Every time I walk into a room with a notion of a song that I’m going to write, I usually come out with another one.” Mr. Osborne also explained why he and his brother call their current concerts the We’re Not For Everyone Tour. First, it’s inspired by the country duo’s latest single, “I’m Not For Everyone,” which Mr. Osborne noted fans love. “It’s a bit of a mantra,” he said. “There comes a time in your life when you realize you can’t be everyone’s friend, that you can’t please everybody.

911 At Ease raises $2 million for first responders
All you can eat
By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR
911 At Ease International recently raised $2 million to support first responders with its Fun with the Force event. Hundreds of people attended this year’s fundraising party, which featured live entertainment, a flyover memorial for law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty and food and beverages from vendors across Santa Barbara County. 911 AEI Co-Founder Michael Armand Hammer and his wife, Misty, matched the $1 million in proceeds raised during the event.
“We’ve served thousands of people and we’re growing,” Mr. Hammer said in a news release. “I will always support (At Ease), because I believe in it.” 911 AEI provides free counseling and therapy to first responders, including firefighters, law enforcement, service members, emergency medical workers, dispatchers and other emergency first responders and their immediate families. “The more people that become aware of At Ease International and what it provides for our first responders, they want to be a part of it,” explained James Nigro, a 911 AEI board member. At Ease helps first responders
such as Santa Barbara County Fire Capt. Bryan Fernandez. “For so long we focused on physical health and other aspects of the job,” he said. “After the debris flows and some of the larger fires and other incidents, we saw the elements we weren’t addressing as firefighters in our mental health.” The Santa Barbara Police Foundation, which provides support for injured, disabled or catastrophically ill police officers or employees of the Santa Barbara Police Department and their families, co-sponsored the Fun with The Force event. email: dmason@newspress.com

important aspect of growing up, becoming yourself. We decided to name the tour after it.” Secondly, “the artists traveling with us are very one-of-a-kind artists, who march to the beat of their own drum, regardless of what anyone around them says. It’s only fitting that we title this the We’re Not For Everyone Tour.” After a decade of touring, the
Brothers Osborne took a long break from performing because of the pandemic. “We needed the break,” Mr. Osborne said. “Frankly we needed to sit back and relax and do nothing. We needed the space and freedom to enjoy ourselves as people, not musicians, although it was financially difficult. Physically and emotionally, it’s what we truly needed. “Now we’re ready to get back at it.” email: dmason@newspress.com
FYI Brothers Osborne will perform at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Santa Barbara Bowl, 1122 N. Milpas St. Tickets cost $39.50 to $69.50 through Axs. To purchase, go to sbbowl.com.

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

ARIES — There’s a great deal of transforming energy in the air that you should harness and capitalize on. You may be a fan of the diet that you’ll start “tomorrow.” When tomorrow comes and there’s a huge meal of pizza, soda, and fries, suddenly the diet once again starts “tomorrow.” Use the powerful energy of today to break out of this habit and make a real change in your life. TAURUS — You may experience writer’s block in every sense of the phrase. Even if you don’t consider yourself a writer, for some reason it may be difficult to get even the simplest words down on paper. Don’t get upset. Your verbal juices may not be flowing freely, but they haven’t disappeared. Use this time to read other people’s works and visit museums for inspiration. GEMINI — Action should be your main priority, especially when it comes to love and romance. You may not be too concerned about what sort of action you take. Your only concern is that you aren’t sitting still at any time. Once you figure out what you want, you’re unlikely to stop until you get it. Your power is forceful and extreme. CANCER — A surprise in love and romance is on its way to you. Things are coming full circle, and the investment you made in this realm is finally paying off. Something new is cropping up, but in reality, this is a result of things you set in motion long ago. Be open to embracing the tremendous flow of love and beauty that’s coming your way. LEO — Be more aware of your personal appearance and how you’re perceived. Make sure that your attire is appropriate for the people you’re with and the situation. Fashion is a consideration, so don’t look like a slob. You may be urged into a fancy store today where you’re talked into buying some new items to spruce up your wardrobe. VIRGO — Know what you’re getting yourself into, especially if it has to do with love and romance. You may be like a fly on a tree branch, carefully inspecting the beautiful spider web at your feet. You’re tempted to step on the silky strands, yet Monday, November 16, 2015 once you place one foot on the
sticky web, you’ll be tangled there for a long time - maybe forever. LIBRA — Your heart may be hurt by misfortunes that have befallen you. Thinking about times past is just pulling up buckets of tears from a well. Don’t keep doing this to yourself. It’s time to move forward. Your heart is eager to start something new and bring adventure into your life. Use your emotions as fuel for the future instead of restraints from the past. SCORPIO — You’re filled with joy! There’s a tremendous wave of love coming your way. Everything involving romance could be taken to extremes. An extreme in the direction of love and boundless creativity means that at some time there will be a dramatic swing in the opposite direction. Today you only need to concern yourself with the upswing. SAGITTARIUS — Instead of dragging on with something old, tired, and worn out, why not start something new? If you refuse to give up on a project that’s doomed to fail, you’ll be in for a long, frustrating road ahead. You’ll find this to be especially true of anything involving music, beauty, creativity, and the arts. Redirect your energy toward something more promising. CAPRICORN — Social engagements will be your saving grace. Without them, you may be confused and sad about issues that are reaching a climax. In some form or another, you’re being asked to make some major transformations. These changes are slow and perhaps subtle, but they’re important and need addressing. This is where the help of friends can come in handy. AQUARIUS — The intensity should increase around an issue regarding love and romance. Friction is building. Unfortunately, this tension may be unavoidable. It’s likely that some sort of power struggle is being thrown into the mix, and you may fight for control of your emotions. Try not to get sucked into a bottomless pit. PISCES — Let your heart shine. Love surrounds you like a beautiful pink cloud, and you can’t help but attract people to you. Take romance to a higher level with someone really special tonight. You’ll find that whatever you give will come back to you tenfold. Your aura glows brightly with emotion, so let it light your way.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PENDING ACTION BY THE DIRECTOR OF THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO: (1) (2)
WAIVE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON A COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT THAT MAY BE APPEALED TO THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION AND APPROVE, CONDITIONALLY APPROVE, OR DENY THE COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
This may affect your property. Please read. Notice is hereby given that an application for the project described below has been submitted to the Santa Barbara County Planning and Development Department. This project requires the approval and issuance of a Coastal Development Permit by the Planning and Development Department.
WWTP Influent Pump Station Rehabilitation Project
The development requested by this application is subject to appeal to the California Coastal Commission following final action by Santa Barbara County and therefore a public hearing on the application is normally required prior to any action to approve, conditionally approve or deny the application. However, in compliance with California Coastal Act Section 30624.9, the Director has determined that this project qualifies as minor development and therefore intends to waive the public hearing requirement unless a written request for such hearing is submitted by an interested party to the Planning and Development Department within the 15 working days following the Date of Notice listed below. All requests for a hearing must be submitted no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Request for Hearing Expiration Date listed below, to Travis Lee at Planning and Development, 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara 93101-2058, by email at trlee@countyofsb.org, or by fax at (805) 568-2030. If a public hearing is requested, notice of such a hearing will be provided.
Notice is hereby given that sealed proposals will be received by the Goleta Sanitary District (the “District”) at the District office, One William Moffett Place, Goleta, California 93117, until 2:00 p.m., local time, on November 18, 2021, for the WWTP Influent Pump Station Rehabilitation Project. Bids will be publicly opened after said time.
WARNING: Failure by a person to request a public hearing may result in the loss of the person’s ability to appeal any action taken by Santa Barbara County on this Coastal Development Permit to the County Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors and ultimately the California Coastal Commission.
A mandatory pre-bid meeting will be held at the project site, at One William Moffett Place, Goleta, California 93117, on Tuesday, October 26, 2021 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. In order to qualify as a potentially responsive bidder, prospective bidders must attend the pre-bid meeting. Contractors who fail to attend the mandatory pre-bid meeting will not be allowed to bid on the project as a prime contractor.
If a request for public hearing is not received by 5:00 p.m. on the Request for Hearing Expiration Date listed below, then the Planning and Development Department will act to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request for a Coastal Development Permit. At this time it is not known when this action may occur; however, this may be the only notice you receive for this project. To receive additional information regarding this project, including the date the Coastal Development Permit is approved, and/or to view the application and plans, or to provide comments on the project, please contact Travis Lee at Planning and Development, 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara 93101-2058, or by email at trlee@countyofsb.org, or by phone at (805) 568-2046.

Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9462-7154. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-9390772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com using the file number assigned to this case, 9462-7154, 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. 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.
