HAUNTING... THRILLING... AND SEDUCTIVE in its dangerous allure, the story of Dracula has charmed audiences for over a century. Next weekend, just in time for Halloween festivities, the State Street Ballet will let this immortal tale take a new, artistic wing as they present the world premiere of Dracula, a dark shadow.

DOJ To Deploy 1000 Election Monitors

ELECTION DAY MONITORS, more than 1,000, will be sent to polling places in all 50 states, according to the Department of Justice website, and also reported by Reuters and The Hill media outlets Wednesday. During the Mid-Term election cycle, the DOJ has had monitors at the polling places during the primaries.

Transporting audiences on a gothic adventure through the powerful choreography of Nicolas Blanc and the illustrious Kronos Quartet performing composer Philip Glass’s spectral score, performances will be held at 7:30pm on Friday, October 30th and 2pm on Saturday, October 31st at the Granada Theatre. Running time with intermission is 90 minutes.

Poll monitors are charged with observing the election process to see if states are upholding the Voting Rights Act, National Voter Registration Act, Help America Vote Act, Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Civil Rights Act through its procedures.

“A major civil rights group, the NAACP, has sued to bar prosecutors and other law enforcement personnel from serving as monitors, arguing the Trump administration’s plans amount to voter intimidation,” was reported by Reuters.

According to The Hill, poll monitoring will be based in communities with large populations of immigrants, including MiamiDade County, which is home to the largest Cuban immigrant population in the United States, and Michigan’s Wayne County, which is home to the largest concentration of Arab and Middle Eastern immigrants and Arab American populations in the country.

“Dracula, a dark shadow is the first time SSB has dived into the realm of the darker more dramatic ballets,” expressed Megan Philipp, SSB Artistic Director. “The familiar story of Dracula will give the audience an idea of what to expect, yet Nicolas Blanc’s interpretation makes the ballet truly unique.”

Music Academy of The West

The Muse Breaks Ground Downtown By RobeRt F. AdAms / Special to VOICE

A NEW MOVE BY THE MUSIC ACADEMY OF THE WEST, which will contribute to the revitalization of downtown Santa Barbara, was memorialized with a groundbreaking ceremony last week at 901 State Street. The event signaled the construction of a new education center and performance space – the Muse. The renovated space will allow the extension of the Academy’s year-round programing, beyond their Montecito campus, and into the hearts and minds of the larger Santa Barbara community. “The construction should be finished in 2028, and are we excited,” stated Shauna Quill, President and CEO of the Music Academy of the West.

Magnetic Movement & Music: State Street Ballet Presents World Premiere of Dracula, a dark shadow STATE STREET BALLET – Continued from page 1

Internationally celebrated, Blanc has created works for the Joffrey Ballet, Rome Opera Ballet, and the San Francisco Ballet. He is especially known for his bold, contemporary, and evocative creativity, all of which have shaped his collaboration with SSB’s company of talented artists. “It has been thrilling to watch them explore the characters— from Mina’s terror and Renfield’s descent into madness to Dracula’s dangerous sensuality,” continued MacDougall. “Embodying the less human elements, like the wolves and the undead, has been a lot of fun and also challenging for our dancers, most of whom feel more comfortable performing as Sugar Plum Fairies and Nutcracker Princes than as otherworldly demons. Dracula: a dark shadow blends cuttingedge dance with true psychological horror, and for those who attend the performance, I think the experience, like the Count himself, will live on in their minds forever.”

Dracula, A Dark Shadow stars Maria Rita Rapisarda and Tigran Sargsyan

SSB’s concept for Dracula, a dark shadow emerged from the idea of creating a ballet centered around the 1999 score Philip Glass composed for the DVD and VHS release of Universal Studios’s 1931 silent film Dracula. Until that moment, the iconic horror film did not have a set score. Now, it’s difficult to imagine

“Perhaps my favorite part of the production so far has been watching the characters and the familiar story take shape in an entirely new light,” shared Cecily MacDougall, SSB Executive Director. “The way Nicolas tells

the story through movement is eerie, exciting, and utterly mesmerizing. Our dancers are pushing their limits daily to master his demanding, athletic neoclassical style.”

Based on Bram Stoker’s beloved novel, Dracula, a dark shadow weaves the perilous journey of Jonathan Harker, a young solicitor who travels to Count Dracula’s isolated Transylvanian castle to help him finalize purchasing property in England. Mystery builds as Jonathan realizes that Dracula is not who—or what— he seems. As the Count begins preying on innocents with the support of his henchman, Renfield, it becomes up to Jonathan, his fiancée, Mina, and the indomitable Dr. Van Helsing to reveal Dracula’s vampiric identity and stop him once and for all.

this early example of cinematic horror without Glass’s compelling compositions. In a tremendous triumph of fate, the renowned Kronos Quartet, who collaborated with Glass and debuted the score, will visit Santa Barbara to accompany SSB’s premiere. “This score was a wonderful partner for Nicolas Blanc’s fluid and distinctive choreography and we are so honored that the Kronos Quartet will be joining us on stage,” shared Philipp. “Although this is a ballet featuring all of our beautiful artists, the Kronos Quartet is central to the production concept and is integrated into the story and set design.”

“I believe this production marks the beginning of a new era of sophistication for the ballet in Santa Barbara,” said Philipp. “Our artists come from all over the world and are passionate and incredibly talented.

They are hungry to grow and be artistically challenged and I think our Santa Barbara audience is as well.”

An Artist’s Touch: Cassatt & Friends By Daisy scott / VOICE

INTIMATELY SUBDUED in the way gentle memories are obscured by nostalgia, Mary Cassatt’s prints and drawings lend a new dimension to her talent for capturing life’s most simple and precious moments. This fall, these intriguing works of her artistic career are asserting their understated significance at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. “Some artists, like Cassatt and her contemporaries, work very hard to achieve precise—or deliberately imprecise—visual effects,” explained James Glisson, SBMA Chief Curator & Curator of Contemporary Art. “How it looks matters deeply to them and whatever idea, emotional state, or sensation they want to convey. By talking about how something was made, its process, it can help to understand what you are looking at.”

asserted through her art that there is beauty, power, and fundamental truths about human nature to be found in everyday scenes, especially those that showed women and children. “Mary Cassatt is a beloved artist whose story should still inspire us,” said Glisson. “As a woman in the United States, she was denied an appropriate art education, so she moved to Paris and never looked back.”

SBMA’s exhibition reflects Cassatt’s ingenuity, as the pastel drawing Reine Lefebvre and Margot greets visitors with bright colors and visible strokes that breathe life into a mother and daughter’s affectionate pose. Viewers can easily imagine it was finished mere hours before rather than over Simone in a White Bonnet Seated a hundred years ago, with Clasped Hands (No.1) c. 1905-1915.

Interview with Santa Barbara Master Chorale Artistic Director William Cutter

New Season, New Faces, New Era for SB Master Chorale By Kerry Methner / VOICE

A DREARY WINTER, A YEN FOR CHORAL WORK, AND A SEARCH FOR NEW LEADERSHIP came together last year to seed change at the Santa Barbara Master Chorale. William Cutter, retired from MIT in 2022 where he was the Director of Choral Programs for "32 wonderful years," and then continuing part time teaching at Boston Conservatory in composition and at Boston University in conducting, began to realize he missed working with a chorus. "On one of the MANY dreary November New England days in 2025 (it was a particularly brutal start to the winter) I did a search on the internet for choral positions in Southern California, and lo and behold the Santa Barbara Master Chorale was looking for a new Artistic Director," he shared in an email and telephone interview with VOICE. "I applied…they invited me for an interview…and here I am!" he shared of his journey to Santa Barbara, adding, "Santa Barbara fit the bill in the weather department. Little did I know what a vibrant artistic community existed." Dr. Cutter will make his local debut with the Santa Barbara Master Chorale (SBMC) this Saturday, October 24th at 3pm in Purcell-a-Palooza, an all Purcell program at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church that includes a collaboration with Carrie Diamond and the Dance Hub.

Cutter, an internationally respected conductor, educator, singer, composer, and pianist brings decades of artistic leadership and musical excellence to the SBMC, one of the Central Coast’s premier choral organizations. His

Cutter also served as Director of Choral Programs at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, while also teaching for 25 years at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee and six years at the Boston University Tanglewood Institute. Dr. William Cutter Since arriving on the 4th of July (Independence Day), he has been busy exploring his new home and discovering the depth of the SBMC community and Santa Barbara's creative scene.

"I love singers," he related. "Like Cabernets, Pinot Noirs, and Chardonnays, their voices and personalities are as unique, quirky, and delicious as any bottle of a good wine. They also bring a kind of passion to music making that is different from their instrumental colleagues because they make music with text. They must communicate specific ideas, moods, and emotions that are not possible with purely instrumental music. I hope I bring my understanding of the singer psyche to the Chorale as I am also trained as a singer. I understand how personal and vulnerable the human voice can be and I hope I can help each singer to open themselves up to be vulnerable and as a result, genuinely expressive." Autumn has brought him, "the excitement of auditioning and meeting new singers; deciding on

“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Cutter to the Santa Barbara Master Chorale,” said SBMC President John Fernandez. “His artistic vision, commitment to excellence, and passion for music education make him an ideal leader for our next chapter.”

career includes service as Assistant Chorus Master of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Chorus Master of Boston Lyric Opera, and Chorus Master of Odyssey Opera.

Rehearsals have been underway for the Purcell-a-Palooza

programming; and getting into the very gratifying routine of creative and productive rehearsals." As the season approached, he decided to open with a Purcell-a-Palooza. "I chose the music of Purcell because I LOVE this music. It is also not as well known as Purcell’s Baroque contemporaries: Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi," Cutter noted. "Like Handel, Purcell was a man of the theater so I was especially excited to introduce the Chorale to Purcell’s opera Dido and Aeneas…a work that is brief enough and musically and dramatically accessible enough to work on this program. The simple and tragic story revolves around the romantic feelings of the Queen of Carthage for Prince Aeneas of Troy. Witches, who are determined to drive the lovers apart, send one of their elves to command Aeneas to leave Carthage. When Aeneas reveals to Dido that he must leave, she accuses him of being faithless. Torn, Aeneas offers to defy the god and remain with her…but she is too deeply offended and sends him away. Broken-hearted, Dido sings her famous Lament." Preparation for the Purcell-a-Palooza has been serendipitous. When rehearsal's began, a harpsichord was needed to fill out the sound of the live chamber ensemble that will accompany the chorus. A chorus member knew that the church had an instrument on hand. And, their rehearsal pianist Heather Levin stepped up to play it. In response to Baroque music being based in dance, Cutter found it natural to collaborate with local dancers to enhance the program. "Every piece you will hear in this concert is based on one of the many dance forms of the Baroque period – the minuet, a sarabande, a jig," he explained. "I was fortunate to find Carrie Diamond who was intrigued by the idea of choreographing a few movements

of Come ye Sons of Art. She and her dancers first worked with a recording to create the choreography and then I stopped in on a rehearsal so that she and I could exchange ideas about tempi and character." The dancers are rehearsing with the orchestra and chorus this week during dress rehearsals after preparing for several weeks in their own rehearsals. "Carrie really understood what would work in our performance space and with the combined rehearsal time constraints and has come up with truly inspired, moving choreography," Cutter enthused. "I couldn’t be more thrilled with the result." In addition to Dido and Aeneas, the chorus will perform the birthday ode for Queen Mary, the jubilant Come ye Sons of Art, which Cutter felt was the perfect piece to celebrate new beginnings…a new birth of the SBMC. "My affinity for Purcell’s unique harmonic and rhythmic musical language is probably evident in the fact that I have conducted full productions of Dido on three separate occasions. I have also programmed many of Purcell’s shorter sacred anthems but have never done the Fantasia. I have conducted the Birthday ode once before and immediately fell in love with its British ceremonial sensibility... Including dancers will definitely add a gorgeous visual element to the program." As the season is about to begin, Cutter is thankful. He shared, "I first want to thank my 'dream team' artistic committee consisting of my assistant Sharlae Jenkins and my pianist Heather Levin. They have been wonderful collaborators and invaluable partners in every aspect of planning, rehearsing, and performing. I must also thank John Fernandes, president of the chorus, who, along with the board and the chorus, have been incredibly warm and welcoming to me. Thanks must also go to board member Barbara Burger who has introduced me to just about every artistic leader in this vibrant arts community. I am thrilled to be the newcomer in this West Coast paradise." For tickets ($15-$25), and info visit sbmasterchorale.org

Voter guide: Understand the propositions on the California general election ballot By Sofia Wallace, Santa Barbara News-Press, 10.19.26

CALIFORNIA VOTERS WILL DECIDE ON 14 STATEWIDE MEASURES THIS GENERAL ELECTION, ADDRESSING HOUSING, TAXES, FINANCIAL REGULATION, HEALTHCARE AND POLITICS. At their core, the initiatives ask Californians to ponder three questions: Can people afford to live in California? Who pays for public services? And how should the state govern elections and health care? Nine are ballot initiatives, meaning measures were proposed by California citizens who collected enough signatures to be considered by the Secretary of State. The other five were referred to by the California State Legislature. HOUSING, DEVELOPMENT AND COST OF LIVING Prop. 1 addresses the affordable housing crisis with an $11.25 billion housing bond to be distributed throughout the state. It aims to house vulnerable populations, feeding directly into programs like CalVet that help veterans and their families get home loans. Money from the statewide bond would flow through existing affordable housing programs, like Santa Barbara’s The measure would also fund development and preservation of sites with housing potential and work to acquire affordable sites. Prop. 37 creates a loan program—and funds it with $25 billion—to help eligible middle-income buyers purchase qualifying new homes. Homes that qualify are under $1.5 million, and offered to buyers at a fixed-rate mortgage for up to %17 of purchase price, according to the ballot. Prop. 45 would change the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to expedite the environmental approval of mostly housing and transit projects. It aims to create a faster delivery process from project proposal, to construction to completion. CEQA passed in 1970 to study and disclose the environmental impacts of proposed developments. The process can stretch to last years, especially when proposals get tied up in litigation. Prop. 45 would require qualifying projects to be completed in one year. If legal challenges are involved,

courts have just under nine months to resolve them. Proponents of Prop. 45 say that CEQA has come to be used against its original purpose: challengers intentionally delay projects because of personal interest rather than genuine environmental concern. Opponents say important environmental regulations cannot be given shortcuts. TAXES, STATE SPENDING AND PUBLIC SERVICEs Prop. 2 would increase California’s “Rainy Day Fund,” a budget reserve approved by voters in 2014 to fund essential services like education, health care and public safety during economic downturns. Currently, the state is allowed to deposit up to 10% of its general fund tax revenue in the reserves. If Prop. 2 is passed, the constitution would be amended to raise this ceiling to 20%. Supporters say the measure would even out California’s budget and strengthen the emergency reserves, while opponents say politicians can dip into reserves as a “slush fund.” Prop. 3 would increase taxes on higher earners’ incomes, money that would be allocated to schools and health care. The tax was first enacted in 2012, set to expire in 2031. Prop. 3 would make the tax permanent. The measure was initiated by the California Teachers Association. 89% of the money would go to K-12 public schools and 11% to community colleges, with any excess feeding into public health care, according to Cal Matters. Proponents say the tax is vital to public school funding—it typically raises $5-15 billion per year. Opponents say the measure may drive wealthy Californians to states with lower income-taxes. Prop. 40 is known as the “billionaire’s tax.” It imposes a one-time, 5% tax on Californians with assets of over $1 billion. It’s been projected to raise around $100 billion over five years, which would be directed toward healthcare, food security and education. There are an estimated 250 billionaires in California, most oppose the proposition. Supporters note that with congress defunding Medi-Cal healthcare, more funding is needed, especially for lowincome people. Prop. 41 would require new state tax

proposals to be reviewed by The California State Auditor, making it harder to get on the ballot. It would prohibit new state taxes that exempt their revenue from California’s existing voter-approved spending limit. This proposition is controversial because it was placed on the ballot by opponents of the billionaire tax, according to Cal Matters. Its supporters say that the state auditor needs to ensure that programs are spending money wisely. Opponents say that it was designed to trick voters into blocking the billionaire tax. Prop. 42 also counteracts the billionaire tax. It would prohibit taxes on personal property and other expensive assets like financial portfolios or valuable art. If passed, assets would not be taken into account when taxing wealth, therefore it would be more difficult to pass Prop. 40. This proposition was also placed on the ballot by opponents of the billionaire tax. Prop. 43 would require a two-thirds (66.67%) voter approval, instead of a simple majority, to authorize all local special taxes. Special taxes refers to fees created by local governments targeted to specific public projects or services. Money collected from a special tax also goes directly toward a designated voter-approved project. Proponents of Prop. 43 say that it protects taxpayers by making special taxes more difficult to approve. Opponents say that Prop. 43 would limit the ability to fund essential services like natural disaster response. ELECTIONS, VOTING AND POLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITY Prop. 4 would allow state and local governments to fund the campaigns of political candidates, which has been banned in most places since 1988. With private money in politics always a controversial topic when it comes to political campaigns, the supporters of the proposition hope Prop. 4 would even things out for less funded candidates. Opponents don’t want to see their tax dollars going toward candidates they don’t support. Prop. 5 changes the process of replacing recalled officials. Currently, voters elect replacement candidates at the same time as the election for whether or not the elected official should be recalled. Under Prop. 5, the selection of a successor would be

October 23, 2026

delayed until a separate, special election. Additionally, the lieutenant governor would take over if the governor was recalled. Prop. 39 establishes new voter ID requirements, requiring voters to show a government-issued identification at the polls. For mail-in ballots, election officials are required to verify that all voters are U.S. citizens. While an ID is currently required to register to vote, it’s not requested at polling locations. Conservative groups put this proposition on the ballot, arguing for strengthened trust in the elections process. Opponents say the proposition would disproportionately impact low-income people, people with disabilities, and those without a driver’s license. HEALTH CARE AND MEDICAL RESEARCH Prop. 38 authorizes $8.4 billion state bond for medical research in immunology and immunotherapy. Half the money would go to a University of California affiliated research institute, and the other half would be distributed to research grants at public universities and non-profit organizations. Immunology research targets cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Supporters say the funding would curb cuts from the Trump Administration. Opponents question if California should fund a wider variety of medical research, and the distribution of the money. Prop. 44 requires local health clinics, most that serve low-income patients, to spend 90% of their annual revenue on patient care and qualifying program services. Clinics that don’t meet the requirement would be fined. Supporters of the measure attempted to put it on the ballot last year, but it failed. They argue that clinics should prioritize direct patient care, as more people are becoming uninsured under the Trump Administration. Opponents say clinics are already too heavily regulated.

VOICE Endorsement

VOICE Endorses Eric Friedman For Mayor

BOTH REALISTIC AND IDEALISTIC, Eric Friedman, mayoral candidate for the City of Santa Barbara, is someone who can say, "No" when ideology pushes financial responsibility aside. He is an independent thinker who can also dream, evaluate, and collaborate to make dreams become reality.

and emergency preparedness, without ever compromising the city's finances... With Eric as Mayor, Santa Barbara will have steady, responsible leadership and I am proud to endorse him.”

For 20 years, the VOICE team, owners and writers, have followed Friedman's presence in town on a professional and personal level. Our knowledge, experiences, and research reflect a person who leads by action, collaboration, and the decisionmaking process.

On the closure of State Street and the development of a Master Plan, Friedman has made counter proposals, attempted amendments, and at the last vote recommended scaling the plan back, based on sensible recommendations from cities who have succeeded at similar projects. But, he was repeatedly out voted four to three on these ideas and other key issues.

Congressman Salud Carbajal, also a strong leader who reaches across the aisle, gave this statement of endorsement:"For eight years, Councilmember Eric Friedman has worked to build consensus and make responsible choices on the issues that matter most to Santa Barbara residents… He understands that building Santa Barbara's future starts with a budget we can sustain. That same discipline is how Eric delivered real results on affordable housing, public safety,

A community builder, Friedman is a past president of the Library Foundation, and as an engaged volunteer carried that work forward when he was elected to the city council by creating a collaboration between the foundation and the city, including helping to raise $5 million in community funds for the Michael Towbes Library Plaza. He has also been a leader and advocate for local nonprofits as a council member and individual. He served as an annual awards judge and also as the Council

Liaison for Santa Barbara Beautiful. As well, he served on the Harbor Commission, and acted as council liaison for the Santa Barbara Park and Recreation Community Foundation. It was Friedman’s proposal that initiated the establishment of a local Housing Trust Fund, which enabled state and federal funds to be combined to address one of Santa Barbara’s basic issues. The Housing Trust Fund concept has been successful and already meant newly available low-income housing. On the rent control issue, he has flatly said there are no successful models that benefit communities, and has voted no on the issue at the counsel meetings. Friedman's willingness to stand guard against fiscal irresponsibility speaks to his strength of character, reliability, trustworthiness, and conviction that problems can be solved when people work together. Eric has spent eight years on the Finance Committee and voted against the four-three majority when they voted to spend down emergency reserves. Those votes were

Councilmember Eric Friedman

significant.

His resilient spirit and passion for the community, are reflected in his response to experiencing a heart attack, which became part of the impetus for him to run for mayor. Friedman, who works at Trader Joe’s on De la Vina, meets and greets his constituents and is accessible, listens, supports, and takes action. For all these reasons, VOICE News endorses Eric Friedman for mayor of Santa Barbara. The VOICE Team October 7, 2026

Newton said that the foundation has nearly reached its fundraising goal, with only a small amount remaining to be raised. Construction is expected to be completed by fall 2027, with organizers targeting November.

News-Press, 10.19.26

THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE EDUCATION AT SAN MARCOS HIGH SCHOOL began with a few

shovels of dirt Monday.

The academy, which expanded to include freshmen for the first time this school year, is now preparing for a physical transformation: three permanent classroom buildings that will replace four aging portables and provide new opportunities for hands-on training. Additionally, the Building Community Wellness Project looks to modernize the school’s existing Elings Wells Family Wellness Center, which will bring healthcare career preparation and student wellness together in an approximate $12 million investment. The new facilities at the Doris B. Mithun Mini-Campus will soon include five specialized classrooms, science laboratories, a demonstration classroom equipped with patient bed learning stations and outdoor learning

The project is expected to cost approximately $12 million, with half funded through Santa Barbara Unified School District bonds and the other half through private donations, according to Kristi Newton, president of the Royal Pride Foundation, which has led the fundraising effort.

For Newton, whose daughter attended San Marcos, the groundbreaking marked the culmination of years of planning. “This has been a passion project for me personally,” Newton said. The expansion comes as the academy undergoes some significant changes to its curriculum and enrollment. Emily Stokes, the coordinator for the academy, said that prior to this year, the program served approximately 120 students, and this year has since added 60 freshmen. Eventually, the program is expected to have the capacity to accommodate 240 students. The academy has also introduced a biomedical sciences curriculum designed to introduce students to a wider range of healthcare professions, from nursing and medicine to

behavioral health and technical roles. Students who plan to pursue certified nursing assistant training through Santa Barbara City College can earn up to six units of college credit. Some of the additional training offered includes basic life support, CPR, first aid and teen mental health first aid. Stoked said that the academy is looking into additional certifications in medical assisting, phlebotomy, emergency medical services and radiology through partnerships with the City College and healthcare providers. The program is also expanding its senior internship network, with students already gaining experience at Cottage Health and other local organizations. Garcia and Cortez said the academy’s career-focused assignments and exposure to different patient populations have helped them explore their options. One hopes to go on to study neuroscience, while the other is still considering her path. With the academy now open to freshmen, the students said the additional classroom space will be especially important as more students start participating in the program. Beyond career training, the project will renovate the Elings Wells Family Wellness Center, with planned improvements to its accessibility, interior and technology.

Hilda Maldonado addresses attendees at San Marcos High School’s Building Community Wellness Project groundbreaking ceremony Monday.

The center is aimed at facilitating students’ physical, mental and

emotional well being, with a longerterm plan to extend services to the surrounding community. Principal Dare Holdren said the improvements were also crafted to address some of the stigma associated with seeking mental health support at school, particularly by obviating the need for students to report to the main office for access to services. The project has received significant philanthropic contributions, including $1.5 million from Cottage Health and $1 million from Betty Elings Wells. Cottage Health CEO Scott Wester said the hospital’s partnership with San Marcos dates back more than two decades, with former academy students not working at Cottage as caregivers, leaders and physicians. “But what I love most about this program is that learning leads somewhere,” Wester said. Students can gain firsthand experience through hands-on demonstrations, job shadowing and internships, he said, so that they can begin envisioning their careers in healthcare. For Holdren, the investment represents an effort to provide students with both the resources to succeed in school and opportunities to build careers in the community in which they grew up. “Students deserve both the opportunity to pursue a meaningful future and the support to get there,” Holdren said.

Refugee studies meets environmental justice in new special journal issue people alongside wildlife refuge for endangered species, the coeditors probe their entanglements as well as their limits.

AS HUMANITARIAN CRISES AND CLIMATE CHANGE INTENSIFY, a special issue of Amerasia Journal asks readers to rethink a familiar word: refuge. Co-edited by Heidi Amin-Hong, assistant professor of English at UC Santa Barbara, the issue draws on filmmaker and theorist Trinh T. Minhha’s idea of looking at the space between “refuge,” “refuse” (to reject), and “refuse” (waste). Co-editors Amin-Hong, Evyn Lê Espiritu Gandhi (UCLA), and Emily Hue (UC Riverside) build on that idea to explore how systems of colonialism, militarism, and global capitalism create displacement and treat people and environments as disposable.

By Debra Herrick, The UC Santa Barbara Current • 10.7.26

“It’s about thinking through how refuges are created as sanctuaries for displaced human populations or endangered wildlife, ” Amin-Hong said, “but also are shaped by geopolitics and ideas about who is deserving of refuge.”

Heidi Amin-Hong

Twenty-four authors contributed to the special issue, “Between Refuge and Refuse: New Mediums/Methods for Theorizing Refuge(e) Environments.” In the introduction, the co-editors write, they “refuse the colonial and imperial logics that produce refugees — both human and nonhuman — as worthless refuse.” What gets treated as disposable, they assert, reveals the overlapping forces of militarization, racial capitalism, and climate change. Placing humanitarian refuge for displaced

Rather than reinforcing familiar narratives of rescue and recovery, the coeditors articulate an expansive definition of refuge grounded in solidarity and self-determination. They separate spaces of refuge from spaces of carcerality and enclosure — conditions that have shaped refugee resettlement and violently removed Indigenous communities from ancestral lands. Refuge, they argue, must be remapped as both geographic space and ideological imaginary, attentive to how humanitarian resettlement overlaps with militarized occupation and wildlife conservation.

“It’s quite ambitious compared to other editorial projects I’ve worked on because of the methodological scope,” AminHong said. “We’re bringing together scholars, poets, artists, and other cultural practitioners working across different fields, geographies, and histories of refuge.” The issue features an interview with filmmaker Tuan Andrew Nguyễn, whose films examine unexploded ordnance in Vietnam, as well as poetry by Hmong American writer Mai Der Vang. Essays by scholars working on Korea, Palestine, and Vietnam draw connections across distinct but overlapping refugee geographies. “We consider refuse (noun) as medium and material through which artists build towards a horizon of ‘refuge,’” state the co-editors, “a future-oriented ontology that isn’t mired in contemporary state and humanitarian border enforcement around land, air, and water.” Read more: https://magazine.ucsb.edu/summer-2026/scale-earth Printed with permission of UCSB Office of Public Affairs and Communications.

By Rebecca coulteR, Santa Barbara Audubon Society, Special to VOICE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SEABIRDS AROUND, THE ADULT HEERMANN’S GULL IS A STUDY IN GRAYS. In breeding plumage, its snowy white head and deep red bill are unique among all the other gulls in our area; immature birds are chocolaty brown. After breeding in Mexico, they wander into Santa Barbara county beginning in June and spend the fall and early winter along our beaches. They are also well-known “kleptoparasites,” chasing other birds to get them to drop their prey so they can steal it. Pro tip: smart birders know there’s no such thing as a “just a seagull.” For more information visit SantaBarbaraAudubon.org or call 805-964-1468

So what happens next? If the A.I. construction continues and consumers keep shopping, we will have decent economic growth. The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow third quarter GDP estimate is holding at 3.6 percent, up from 2.2 percent in Q2.

And inflation will continue to rise. Wholesale prices that go into consumers prices also took a huge jump of 1.3 percent in September. And that is for the raw materials like steel, lumber, etc., that go into retail products. So, prices will keep rising. Our Federal Reserve must therefore continue to raise their interest rates to maintain credibility. Their Fed Funds rate controls short term interest rates for credit cards and installment loans, which controls the Wall Street Prime Rate, which is already seven percent.

It hasn’t slowed down consumers yet because of the chain of events I just mentioned. The stock market is profiting from A.I. construction and record profits of corporations. But they must slow their shopping eventually, maybe after the holidays when they run out of savings. students. Scholarship awards for undergraduates at fouryear schools averaged $3,708; graduate student awards (excluding those for medical school) averaged $3,580. The Scholarship Foundation also supports students pursuing vocational training. Eligible students may receive up to five years of undergraduate funding and four years of medical/ graduate-level funding. The primary criteria for award selection are financial need,

A.I. centers will be taking much of the energy supplies when they open. The Atomic Energy Agency (AEI) estimates that a “typical A.I.-focused data centre consumes as much electricity as 100,000 households, but the largest one that is under construction today will consume 20 times as much.”

I have an interesting thought: Trump could bring inflation back down to earth if he wasn’t so in love with Putin by taking Ukraine’s side in that war. If Ukraine was given the full support with weapons and intelligence of our “great military,” Russia would have to sue for peace, as the saying goes. And then what? It could no longer support Iran, who might then also sue for peace. Imagine what could happen next. Sanctions could be lowered or even eliminated, and world trade could begin to return to normal times. But is Trump too crazy in love with himself for that to happen? Then remove him and save the world from another brutal recession.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. 9. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. 10. Attorney for petitioner Harold K. Kono: 831 State Street, Suite 289, Santa Barbara, CA 93101; Telephone 805-962-8412.

Tribute to the Beatles raises funds for Adams Angels

A BREAK IN WEDNESDAY’S STORM gave the sun a shot at creating this rainbow over the Santa Barbara waterfront.

First Responders Update

A TWO VEHICLE CRASH IN THE RAIN WEDNESDAY MORNING blocked a lane of traffic at the driveway to REI in downtown Santa Barbara. Police, fire and AMR were on the scene on East Gutierrez St.

THE 2ND ANNUAL CHARITY CONCERT EVENT, an “Orchestrated Tribute to The Beatles” presented by Earl Minnis, in association with Rock Cellar Productions and the Get Together Foundation, took place Saturday at the landmark Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara. This tribute featured The Tribe band performing songs off two all-time favorite Beatles albums: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Magical Mystery Tour.

and Justin Fox (Dishwalla) plus Carly Smithson (American Idol), Ken Stacey (Elton John, Michael Jackson) & Jean Fogelberg. The Tribe’s musical director is Phil Lo Presti, and the evening was co-hosted by Santa Barbara radio host Catherine Remak and Chris Carter of Breakfast with the Beatles.

The Folk Orchestra of Santa Barbara provided a spectacular sound to fill out the show, plus very special guest artists appeared for flashback hits from the 1960’s. They included the Strawberry Alarm Clock (Incense & Peppermints), Jay & the Americans (This Magic Moment), Ron Dante of The Archies (Sugar, Sugar), Dennis Tufano, Original Voice of The Buckinghams (Kind of a Drag), Tom Garrett of The Classics IV (Spooky), Darren Dowler of Paul Revere & the Raiders (Kicks), legendary keyboardist Don Randi (The Wrecking Crew, Nancy Sinatra) & more..

Drummer & executive producer Kevin Wachs coordinated the rehearsals and stage show to create the three hours of memories. About 1500 people attended. They also bid on silent auction items, many were music collectables. There was also an intermission that included a chance for the audience to donate from their seats.

Special guest performances include appearances by David Pack (founding member of Ambrosia)

Proceeds will be donated to Adam’s Angels.

Santa Barbara International Film Festival:

By RobeRt F. AdAms / Special to VOICE

A NEW FILM FROM SPAIN, La bola negra is one of the most fascinating films of the year. Uncompromising in a three time period structure it is watchable on Netflix in early December and headed for a local run at SBIFF’s Film Center for a week’s run starting October 30th. Co-directors Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, who are the duo known as Los Javis, have fashioned a film about gay heritage, purpose, and tragic adventures centering deep within the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s. The playwright Federico García Lorca, martyred for being gay in the Spanish Civil War, provides the spark as the poetic and symbolic heart center of this epic film. The film will be a lesson on the violent conflicts in 1930s Spain, faced with a series of dictators and tragic years of death and destruction. Film scholars will sense drifting echoes from Luchino Visconti’s The Dammed and perhaps

Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal along with a dose of The English Patient. No matter the suggestive moments, the film is daring in an unusual way, formulating a concluding aura of empathy and tolerance.

The film also reveals memorable music and dancing scenes, Penelope Cruz as Nené Romero one revolving around to find acceptance in a passionate and an expressive flamenco sequence of violent world. Siguiriyas style which is intercut with The cast is vibrant in this narrative unflinching gay sexuality. The other including Guitarricadelafuente, a remarkable and surprising performance Spanish singer-songwriter, playing focal point features a wildly Sebastián, the film’s protagonist as entertaining sequence featuring Oscarwinning Spanish actress Penelope Cruz. a village trumpeter who navigates wartime survival. His face is multiThat scene energizes the movie, with dimensional and audiences will feel the a stunning war-time performance in an regret and sadness in his gaze. auditorium filled with gay soldiers.

Epic Queer Tales: Spain Fascist Era Film La bola negra

The cinematography transitions, atmospheric lighting, clear production design, and landscape setting, along with the score and ambient sound all come together to delineate the different time periods, including the poetically theatrical storyline. Not an easy story to juggle, the codirectors and film editor thrust together the specific sequences that interweave throughout the picture. The themes reach for a universal truth that leads the main characters on to find their own souls within a chaotic world that at every turn seeks to suppress LGBTQ leanings and by the end wreaks the emotions about any person’s struggle

Carlos González, who plays Alberto in the 2017 sequences, is simply perfect for the part as is Penelope Cruz as Nené Romero, the showstopping Spanish cuplé singer entertaining the troops, a little reminiscent of Marlene Dietrich. In fact, most of the cast is indelible, and fresh, a tribute to the co-directors, who won the Best Directing award at Cannes last May. See this film as the attention to detail is extraordinary at multiple levels. Showtimes for the week of October 30th, 2026 can be found at sbiff.org.

BIG SUR IN SANTA BARBARA

www.MySantaBarbaraGetaway.com Your Santa Barbara Getaway Open Saturday, 2:00-4:00 & Sunday, 1:00-3:00

700 CHIQUITA ROAD SANTA BARBARA 93103 Privacy, Views and a Sense of Place, Minutes from the Heart of Santa Barbara Set on a quiet, gently elevated street just above town, 700 Chiquita offers privacy, framed city and ocean views, and an almost European sense of place. The upper level features two bedrooms, one bath, open living and dining areas, and a generous view deck. Below, a private studio suite with its own patio offers flexibility and the potential to reconnect with the main residence. Thoughtfully reimagined, the home could become something truly special. Close to town. Close to nature. Quiet, private, and perfectly positioned to take in the view.

$1,900,000
