Looking for the woman whose dog bit my daughter at Haskell's beach this past
Sunday 10/27/24. The woman was early 40s (but I really didn't look closely),
wearing a light blue athletic hoodie, dark hair past shoulders. Dog was
medium/large - med/long hair with long hair on tail, I believe Australian
Shepard black and white with some brown to the best of my recollection. If you
see the post (or know who this might be), please contact me, as we just want to
ask a couple of quick questions about the dog. Wish we had gotten your contact
information that day but my daughter was in a hurry to leave. The dog chased us
on our bikes and my daughter stopped because she thought it would help. We both
stood still while the dog went back and forth between the two of us several
times, barking, until he nipped my daughter's leg. Thank you:)

Bank Fraud Alert - Just a reminder to be careful when you get a call from
someone claiming they are from your bank. I almost got caught this morning with
a call from someone saying a check was trying to be cashed at a Chase bank that
seemed suspicious/fraudulent. I didn't google the phone # right away like I
normally would and thankfully didn't give the guy any information that would
have helped him commit fraud before we got disconnected. He was asking me to
give him a code to verify who he was talking to, but the code never came through
on my end. (Thankfully!) I think he was trying to access the online banking with
it by resetting my password. He did manage to disable my online account though.
I have reported it to my bank. Don't give any codes to someone who called you
and if you are calling a number back, verify it is really your bank's number.
The person I spoke to at the bank said this has happened to several of their
customers.

Potential Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) in parts of Santa Barbara County
The National Weather Service (NWS) has forecast gusty winds and warming
temperatures throughout Santa Barbara County starting today, October 1 through
Thursday, October 3, 2024. During this time strong winds in excess of 35 mph
across the county are possible. The forecast also includes a widespread increase
in temperatures for both mountain and coastal areas. Additionally, a Red Flag
Warning has been issued for the Santa Barbara County interior mountains. Hot and
windy conditions greatly increase the risk for dangerous wildfires. Avoid
hazardous activities that may cause sparks or start a wildfire. Detailed weather
forecasts are available at https://www.weather.gov/lox/. Additionally, Southern
California Edison (SCE) has notified customers that it is considering a Public
Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) in parts of Santa Barbara County due to an increased
risk for wildfires. This outage may begin as soon as Wednesday, October 2 at
3:00 p.m., though it may occur earlier or later depending on actual weather
conditions. While SCE has sent notifications to those impacted, if you are
unsure if your home or business is potentially impacted, go to the Outage Center
map link below and put in the address to see if its included.
https://www.sce.com/outage-center/check-outage-status SCE will have a Community
Resource Center at the Residence Inn at 6350 Hollister Ave in Old Town Goleta
tomorrow Wednesday, October 2 from 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m to support those
impacted by potential PSPS. Spanish-speaking SCE staff will be available. This
site will provide a safe location to recharge electric devices, and access PSPS
event information. Other resources and services such as water, snacks,
accessible restrooms, and Wi-Fi may be available, dependent on the facility. No
overnight service is provided. For the latest information go to www.Readysbc.org

temperaturas cálidas en todo el condado de Santa Bárbara a partir de hoy, 1 de
octubre hasta el jueves 3 de octubre de 2024. Durante este tiempo, es posible
que haya vientos fuertes de más de 35 mph en todo el condado. La previsión
también incluye un aumento generalizado de las temperaturas tanto en las zonas
montañosas como en las costeras. Además, se emitió una Advertencia de Bandera
Roja para las montañas interiores del condado de Santa Bárbara. Las condiciones
cálidas y ventosas aumentan en gran medida el riesgo de incendios forestales
peligrosos. Evite actividades peligrosas que puedan provocar chispas o iniciar
un incendio forestal. Las previsiones meteorológicas detalladas están
disponibles a https://www.weather.gov/lox/. Además, Southern California Edison
(SCE) ha notificado a sus clientes que está considerando un corte de energía por
motivos de seguridad pública (PSPS) en partes del condado de Santa Bárbara
debido a un mayor riesgo de incendios forestales. Esta interrupción puede

Walk and Roll to School Day, October 9 The Goleta Police Department encourages
families and students to wear their sneakers and join their classmates to walk,
bike, or roll to class on Wednesday, October 9. “Walk and Roll to School Day” is
celebrated annually to highlight the benefits of exercise while also promoting
the importance of pedestrian and road safety. While extra caution is needed on
the morning of October 9, with increased foot and bike traffic, it’s important
to stay alert every single day. Drivers should: 🚨 Be prepared to stop for
school buses and children crossing the street. 🚨 Always watch their speed and
slowdown in school zones. The Goleta Police Department offers tips for students
who walk, bike, or roll to school: ⚠️ Plan your route on roads with sidewalks or
paths away from traffic. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far
to the left as possible or ride your bike in the same direction as traffic as
far on the right-hand side as possible. ⚠️ Use crosswalks, preferably at stop
signs or signals. If there are unmarked crosswalks, cross at corners on streets
with fewer lanes and lower speed limits. ⚠️ Always look left-right-left before
crossing the street. Continue to scan for traffic as you cross the street. ⚠️
Watch for cars entering/leaving driveways or parking spaces. ⚠️ Never assume a
driver sees you. Make eye contact with drivers as they approach to make sure you
are seen. ⚠️ Always wear a helmet when riding or rolling. ⚠️ Be visible at all
times. Wear bright clothing during the day, and wear reflective materials or use
a flashlight when it’s dark. ⚠️ Stay alert. Don’t be distracted by electronic
devices that take your eyes (and ears) off the road. Schools are encouraged to
register at www.walkbiketoschool.org as a way of tracking participation and
showing support for active, healthy, and safe transportation. **The City of
Goleta is sharing this information from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's
Office.**

GOLETA SANITARY DISTRICT

Goleta Valley! Here is a throwback to our "Can The Grease This Holiday" post.
It’s that time again, the holiday season when many of us are cooking meals to
share with loved ones and friends. A gentle reminder to never pour fats, oils or
grease (FOG) down your sink. FOG congeals and clogs pipes, which can cause
sewage backups. Collect your FOG after it cools and place it in a can, jar, or
other vessel to be disposed of in the trash. If possible, you can also collect
it and take it to the Community Hazardous Waste Collection Center on the UCSB
campus at the Environmental Health and Safety Building, Building 565, Mesa Rd.
For more information visit, https:// lessismore.org/locations/83-
