Victorian Vogue and a Vampire By DaiSy Scott / VOICE

INTOXICATING AND DELIGHTFUL TO THE SENSES, the State Street Ballet Gala transported revelers into the gothic glamor of an evening at the Music Academy of the West on September 19th. Celebrating the launch of its 2026-2027 season and 32 years of sharing world-class productions with local, national, and global audiences, the evening was themed “Victorian Vogue” in honor of next month’s world premiere of Dracula, A Dark Shadow. The event united dozens of arts enthusiasts to raise more than $425,000, not including two matching gifts of $100K towards the new Choreography Institute... “a new record for the ballet!” according to Cecily MacDougall, State Street Ballet Executive Director.

SB County resists potential land seizures In separate action, the Environmental Defense Center announced a fresh lawsuit in its fight against Sable Offshore Corp.

“We’ve always been the only local performing arts company that tours nationally and internationally, and I think we’re really refining our role not only as the sole professional ballet company between San Francisco and Los Angeles, but as a ballet company centered in Santa Barbara,” MacDougall shared. “The support and the enthusiasm from our community makes everything that we do possible — and then the beautiful reflection is that we are able to go on tour and represent our beautiful city as ambassadors for Santa Barbara.”

ELECTED OFFICIALS ON TUESDAY TOOK AIM AT A FEDERAL PROPOSAL to acquire or seize land and wrangle more control over oil pipelines in Santa Barbara County. In a 3-1 vote, the county Board of Supervisors opposed language in the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act passed July 22nd by the U.S. House of Representatives.

A Masq(p)arade And the Pianos on State WEARING MASKS, PAIRED WITH PIANO PERFORMANCES, is a perfect mix for the Pianos on State program. The return of Masq(p)arade, Santa Barbara’s original and only performance progressive, will take place on Friday, October 2nd. This family-friendly event will present piano-based acts running every 15 minutes from 5:30pm to 8pm on the State Street Pianos. “If you like Pianos on State, you're going to love Masq(p)arade!” said former Santa Barbara mayor Helene Schneider. “These unforgettable performances brilliantly showcase the immense talent within our community. Don't miss this chance to meander along State Street with these merrymakers.” Joining ARTober events and the seasonal Pianos on State installation, Masq(p) arade features a lineup of regional performing artists delivering imaginative 15-minute shows. Each act will be uniquely staged at a different painted piano scattered throughout the Historic Arts District.

This year’s route through the Historic Arts District is packed with surprises, culminating in a spectacular final performance at the recently completed Michael Towbes Library Plaza.

The audience is invited to stroll from one piano to the next between sets, following the roving variety show to enjoy the full interactive experience as a community. The celebration is completely free to attend, and organizers encourage audience members to lean into the festive spirit by donning their own theatrical masks.

Santa Barbara County pushes back on potential land seizures over Santa Ynez Pipeline System NEW SABLE OIL LAWSUIT – Continued from page 1

New lawsuit, new digging

The Santa Barbara-based Environmental Defense Center (EDC) filed the new suit on behalf of Get Oil Out!, Santa Barbara County Action Network, Sierra Club, and Santa Barbara Channelkeeper in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

The lawsuit challenges a permit the U.S. Department of Transportation issued Sable on June 25th. The permit allows the Houston-based firm to dig and check the pipeline for potential corrosion through 2036. Sable on September 8th told county officials that the company had identified seven potential pipeline anomalies, or problem areas, that required digging for inspection and possible repair.

EDC: permit violates environmental regulations

With the war in Iran a backdrop, U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright on March 13th directed Sable to restart delivery. He said the oil would strengthen national security and ensure West Coast military installations can maintain readiness. The conflict comes a decade after a 2015 rupture caused a destructive 142,000-gallon oil spill at Refugio State Beach, sending 21,000 gallons into the Pacific Ocean.

Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara), on Tuesday criticizes a federal proposal that would allow the U.S. secretary of defense to create federal easements over the Sable Offshore Corp. oil pipeline in Santa Barbara County.

Across town, Santa Barbara environmental groups announced a fresh lawsuit in their fight against Sable Offshore Corp., the Houstonbased firm pumping crude from the Santa Barbara Channel since March.

Second District Supervisor Laura Capps said Tuesday that protecting local authority over oil pipelines is critical.

“The Hunt amendment would set a terrible precedent, by allowing the federal government to seize California public lands through eminent domain,” Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara), told the board. “Sable is asking its allies in Congress to rig the system in its favor.”

An amendment to that $1.15 trillion spending plan by Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas) would explicitly allow the U.S. secretary of defense to acquire easements— via land purchase, donation, trade, or condemnation—over the route of the Santa Ynez Pipeline System.

With as many as 50,000 barrels of crude flowing through daily, Sable opponents say the revelation that the pipeline might be fragile—yet operating—is alarming.

Board Chair Bob Nelson, Fourth District Santa Barbara County Supervisor, said Tuesday that opponents of the Sable oil pipeline aren’t acting in good faith.

The new lawsuit is one of about a dozen related to the pipeline currently in motion. The EDC alleges the new permit violates several environmental laws by failing to conduct adequate environmental review, according to a statement from Linda Krop, EDC chief counsel.

“This permit is part of an unprecedented federal effort to bring back defective pipelines over the objections of the state and our community,” Krop said. “The permit issued by the Trump administration allows these lines to operate without meeting the usual safety requirements, and puts the coast and our entire community at risk of another major disaster.” Sable representatives could not be reached for comment.

The company started inland digs on September 7th and completed them on September 15th, county spokesperson Kelsey Gerckens Buttitta said Monday, adding Sable officials indicated they planned to start digs along the Gaviota Coast this week.

In separate action, the Environmental Defense Center announced a fresh lawsuit in its fight against Sable Offshore Corp.

Supervisors: local control over local land use

To lodge supervisors’ opposition to the Hunt amendment, county officials will send a letter to Senate leadership. A Senate version of the defense spending bill does not currently include the amendment, and Carbajal said he’s hopeful it won’t make the final version passed by the full Congress. Supervisor Laura Capps, who represents the Second District, said protecting local oversight of county lands is critical.

“It’s not about whether or not you’re for or against oil,” she said. “It’s really about what we do up here, about whether local communities retain the authority to ensure that pipelines operating in their backyards meet the safety, and environmental standards required by law.” Fifth District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino noted he typically abstains from weighing in on national issues.

“I feel like this is what Salud was elected to do,” he said. “But in this case, this totally affects Santa Barbara County.” “I’m not voting today on the surface issue regarding whether or not the pipeline should come under federal control or not,” Lavagnino said. “I’m voting to oppose the amendment for the underlying issue, and that is I believe in local control over local land use.” Administrations change and legislative majorities switch, Lavagninio said. “And when you come in with a heavy hand at the federal level on the local, who’s to say what’s going to happen in November?

Who’s to say what’s going to happen two years from now?”

Board Chair Nelson: amendment a lawful tool

Third District Supervisor Joan Hartmann recused herself. Her Santa Ynez Valley property is adjacent to the Sable pipeline. Board Chair Bob Nelson voted against sending the letter.

“I usually would object to this type of amendment…for the same reasons Supervisor Lavagnino stated,” Nelson said. “But I believe we’re not under normal circumstances here today.”

Sable opponents—including the state, the California Coastal Commission, environmental nonprofits, and the county— haven’t operated in good faith when dealing with the company, Nelson said. “Many people out there do want to see them go away and are using litigation warfare to try to stop their operations,” he said. “That’s one of the tools in the toolbox.

“But when you start to go and pull those tools out, the other side pulls out other tools that they might have at their disposal, and in this case that is a lawful congressional amendment,” Nelson said. “After the initial pipeline spill, if everyone would have worked together to install a newer pipeline, a safer pipeline, we wouldn’t be here where we are today.”

The groups held a press conference Wednesday at the Chromatic Gate on Santa Barbara’s waterfront to make the announcement.

Kristen Miller, president and CEO of the Chamber said the two organizations endorsed the same people and decided to make the joint announcement together. She said the Chamber supports candidates who will champion the business community, economic development, and “strong, common sense government.” “This year, we worked with the Santa Barbara Police Officers Association to ensure that the candidates we are

supporting also value police, first responders, and particularly fiscal responsibility to ensure the police department can efficiently serve our community,” Miller said.

The chamber and POA at the press conference also endorsed Luz ReyesMartin (District 1) and James Kyriaco (District 2), who are running for re-election on the Goleta City Council. In Carpinteria, the two groups endorsed City Council incumbents Monica Solorzano (District 1), and Julia Mayer (District 3). They also endorsed Maribel Aguilera for the 5th District Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors seat.

In District 6, the organization endorsed Gabe Escobedo, a member of the Santa Barbara Unified School Board.

Eric Friedman, Cevin Cathell, Alexander Stoeber and Monte Wilson win key endorsements in Santa Barbara City Council, mayor’s contest

Collin Powell, vice president of the Police Officers Association, Adam Mick, president of the Police Officers Association, and Kristen Miller, president and CEO of the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce, announce their endorsements for candidates in the November 3rd election.

“We believe these candidates will help the future of our community and support public safety in Santa Barbara in a positive and fiscally responsive way,” said Sgt. Adam Mick, president of the Police Officers Association. Democratic Women of Santa Barbara County: The group last week announced that it could not reach a consensus for an endorsement in the Santa Barbara mayor’s race, and Districts 4 and 5. “When the votes were counted, we didn’t reach the 60 percent supermajority our bylaws require in three races: Mayor, City Council District 4, and City Council District 5,” said Claudette Roehrig, president of Democratic Women of Santa Barbara County, in an email. “Our 60% threshold is intentionally a high bar—it works a bit like a filibuster. It’s there so that when we do put our name behind a candidate, it means something: real, broad

consensus among our directors, not just a slim majority carrying the day.” In the mayor’s race, Friedman is facing Kristen Sneddon and Wendy SimsMoten.

“In each of these three races, more than one Democrat running for the same seat earned genuine, committed support on our Board,” Roehrig said. “Good people, thoughtfully argued for, split our vote — which is exactly what should happen when the field is this strong.” She said the lack of consensus shows the “many good options Santa Barbara Democrats have this year. That’s a genuinely good problem to have.”

Roehrig ended her email with some real talk: “It is a problem, in a practical sense, when several strong Democrats run for the same seat. Splitting our vote among candidates who all deserve support can make it harder for any one of them to win outright, and that’s worth all of us thinking about as we get closer to November.

Santa Barbara County Democratic Party: The official county party did not have the same internal struggle to find its endorsed candidates. The party endorsed Sneddon for Mayor, Devon Wardlow in District 4, Ian Baucke in District 5, and Escobedo in District 6.

Christian Alonso on Santa Barbara Newsmakers: Jerry Roberts and the chair of the local Democratic Party, Alonso, engaged in deep conversation about the party’s power in local elections.

Among the notable conversation points: Democrats make up about 58 percent of registered voters and Republicans about 15 percent. Although local races are technically nonpartisan, voters tend to vote their party registration, particularly when the Dem Party mails slate cards, places literature on people’s doors and makes phone calls on behalf of their chosen candidates. Alonso also notes that although the Election Day is officially November 3rd , the real election day is October 5th, when Vote-by-Mail ballots go out, which is why the Democratic Party makes endorsements several months before the election.

BUSINESS City Lists Unclaimed Checks Uncashed checks from the City of Santa Barbara have been listed in VOICE News. The checks on the list being published this week have been waiting to be claimed for the past three years, which is the legal limit to hold uncashed checks, according to the City Finance Department. (See page 21 for

the listing.)

The uncashed checks, which range from $15 to $10,000, were issued to vendors and employees for work or services rendered to the city. If the checks are not claimed by November 2nd, the City will void them and transfer the money into the General Fund.

The city's finance policy aligns with Government Code Sections 50050 et seq. to handle unclaimed properties called escheatments. Forms to claim the checks can be found on the city website at: Santabarbaraca.gov/escheatment

El propósito de esta política es establecer un procedimiento para el manejo de propiedades no reclamadas según el Código de Gobierno Secciones 50050 et seq. El dinero no reclamado se refiere a órdenes de pago (cheques) no cobradas y nóminas de empleados que no son propiedad del Ayuntamiento de Santa Bárbara. Si dicho artículo permanece sin reclamar en la Tesorería de la Ciudad durante tres años, se convierte en propiedad de la agencia local después de la notificación si no se reclama o si no se presenta y notifica una reclamación verificada.

“The US LEI receded slightly in August, the first monthly decline since March of this year,” said Justyna Zabinska-La Monica, Senior Manager, Business Cycle Indicators, at The Conference Board. “Four out of ten components fell compared to the previous month, with consumer expectations remaining a significant strain on the Index.” By Harlan Green, Special to VOICE, September 18, 2026

DOES THE NEW FED CHAIRMAN WANT TO BE ANOTHER PAUL VOLCKER, whose Board of Governors raised the Fed Funds rate to 20 percent to cure the stagflation surge of the 1970s? We don’t need another ‘hard landing,’ the economic term for an engineered recession. New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said at the most recent FOMC meeting that the Fed would do what it takes to restore confidence in the Federal Reserve to fulfill its mandate of low inflation with maximum employment.

slowdown for months per its graph above (downward slope of blue line).

But even the tariffs and Mideast wars haven’t slowed down consumer spending enough. The Fed is saying that it has waited too long to act to bring down inflation, which is endangering economic By Harlan Green growth and the U.S. currency.

And to make its point the 12 Fed Governors voted unanimously to raise their Fed Funds rate +0.25 percent, thus raising the Prime Rate from 6.75 to 7.00 percent that governs most installment loan and credit card rates.

ECONOMIC VOICE

So the surge in August retail sales might not be a good thing, as much as consumers would like to celebrate another good holiday, since how is the Fed to bring down inflation otherwise when consumers are a major cause of it? The core personal consumption expenditure index—the version of the Fed’s preferred inflation measure for consumers that excludes food and energy prices—has exceeded the Fed’s two percent target for over 60 months. The Conference Board’s Index of Economic Indicators (LEI) that attempts to predict future growth has been flashing signals of a

Will It Be a ‘Hard Landing’?

September 25, 2026

Chairman Warsh also said five years was too long to wait for the inflation rate to return its two percent target rate because of the tariffs and Middle East unrest. It was last this low during the COVID-19 pandemic. Of course, “The odds of a serious Fed policy mistake are uncomfortably high and rising,” warned Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, in a post on X, I quoted last week. Barron’s Randall Forsythe cites David Rosenberg of Rosenberg Research on what can be the most dangerous mistake, “Unless oil prices come down quickly. The only way by which interest rates bring inflation back to the two percent target is “by destroying enough demand to offset the supply loss. That is a recession by design,” he

concludes. Economists call it a ‘hard landing.’ And that has always been the dilemma; how can the Fed boost interest rates just enough to engineer a ‘soft landing,’ which means bring inflation back down to its long-term average without causing a recession? This is the rock and a hard place I’ve been talking about. It can’t be done without some pain.

Santa Barbara Beautiful Tree of the Month — September 2026

Crape Myrtle Lagerstroemia indica By David Gress / Special to VOICE

IN LATE SUMMER THROUGH EARLY FALL in Santa Barbara, the brilliantly colored floral displays of Crape Myrtle trees are spectacular standouts in the landscape – one of the longest lasting floral displays of any tree or shrub.

The flower petals resemble crinkled crepe-paper – the basis of this tree’s common names of “Crape Myrtle” and “Crepe Flower.” Individual flowers are only about one inch across, but the great masses of them that appear on all the boughs provide a dramatic show. Long flower clusters (6- to 18-inches in length), called “panicles,” appear at the ends of new shoots. Many varieties are now commercially available, with flower colors ranging from white, pink, vibrant red, lavender, to purple. The flowers are classified as “perfect,” meaning each bloom has both male stamens and a female pistil. The flowers are pollinated by bees, which eagerly lap up the copious nectar. The glossy, dark green, oval leaves (2to 4-inches in length) provide stunning fall colors, turning into various shades of red, yellow, and orange. The attractive bark is smooth displaying a mottled pattern of tan, gray, brown, cinnamon, and soft pink that can be enjoyed all year long, especially in winter when the tree is leafless.

Crape Myrtle is a deciduous small- to medium-sized tree that grows 15- to 30-feet tall with a canopy spread of 15to 20-feet. It grows naturally as either a shrub or a tree, often with multistemmed trunks, but can be trained into a single-trunked tree.

Crape Myrtle tree

Crape Myrtle is native to subtropical Asia from India to Japan. It was introduced into European horticulture in 1759 and is now grown worldwide in all mild climate areas. It is in the plant family Lythraceae. The botanical name is Lagerstroemia indica; the genus name honors the Swedish merchant Magnus von Lagerstrom and the specific epithet means “India.”

Notice of Opportunity for Public Comment for Proposed Taxiway B Improvements within a 100-Year Floodplain and Regulatory Floodway at Santa Barbara Airport

The City of Santa Barbara, as sponsor of the Santa Barbara Airport, proposes extending Taxiway B west 3,050 feet to the Runway 7 approach end to create a fulllength parallel taxiway on the north side of Runway 7-25 (proposed project). The proposed project is to increase taxiway circulation safety and airport efficiency. The proposed project would be within a 100-year floodplain and partially within a regulatory floodway. After reviewing alternative siting options, there are no practicable alternatives since the floodplain covers the entire general area, and the taxiway location is fixed by its function as a parallel taxiway. The City of Santa Barbara is seeking Federal Aviation Administration funding and approval of an action occurring in a 100-year floodplain and a regulatory floodway.

Th ex len pro Th ar pr the Sa of

The proposed Taxiway B pavement would be the same general elevation as the existing runway, and, thus, is not expected to impede surface floodwater flows in the event of a 100-year flood. The public is being provided with an opportunity to provide comments on the proposed project and its potential effects on the 100-year floodplain. You may obtain more information or send comments to Bradley Klinzing, PE, Supervising Engineer at 805-692-6020 or bklinzing@SantaBarbaraCA.gov for a period of 30 days following the publication of this notice.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE REGULATORY FLOODWAY

Battle over exemptions tangles rent stabilization ordinance at Santa Barbara City Council

By Sofia Wallacea, Santa Barbara

News-Press, 9.23.26

TWO OF THE SANTA BARBARA CITY COUNCIL’S STRONGEST RENT STABILIZATION ADVOCATES COLLIDED Tuesday night over whether exemptions for affordable housing tenants should be included in the ordinance.

Councilmember Meagan Harmon said she would only support moving the ordinance forward with two exemptions—housing that is deed-restricted on affordability, and housing that is low-income via

that without the access to the rent stabilization board the ordinance would create, tenants in exempted housing would be left even more vulnerable.

The rent stabilization ordinance will include two exemptions: deed-restricted units and Section 8 voucher housing. The decision was led by Councilmember Meagan Harmon.

Local News for a Global Village | www.VoiceSB.com

Councilmember Wendy Santamaria, left, and Meagan Harmon collided over exemptions to the rent stabilization ordinance.

Section 8 vouchers. Both exemptions were recommended by the Santa Barbara Housing authority, which Councilmember Harmon sided with. “My support for this ordinance is strong,” Harmon said at the meeting. “But for me to vote yes, it must include these two exemptions.”

But Councilmember Santamaria argued that exempting “already vulnerable tenants” would cut them off from the protections the ordinance provides. For example, exempted units would not be inspected for habitability, she said. Santamaria worried

“So we’re saying we don’t want to protect tenants in Section 8 and affordable housing units when it comes to habitability?” Santamaria said.

Harmon fired back that there is already a separate system in place for habitability issues.

“I do appreciate Santamaria’s concern about habitability,” Harmon said in a separate interview. “But our goal should be to improve existing pathways, not to lose our section 8 housing altogether.”

The conflict sets the stage for a potentially dramatic vote next Tuesday when the council is set to formally approve the rent stabilization ordinance. Activists contend that residents have been driven out of Santa Barbara by high rents, forcing the need to cap the amount that landlords can raise rents. But property owners argue that the proposed ordinance is too restrictive and will force them to sell their buildings to out-of-town corporate landlords. The proposed ordinance caps annual rent increases to 60 percent of CPI.

As the hours passed Tuesday night, City Administrator Kelly McAdoo suggested pushing the item back to give the city council more time. Santamaria said it might be worth breaking and coming back instead of prematurely making a decision. In the end, Harmon’s motions won the day. As of now, the rent stabilization ordinance will include the two exemptions.

The first exemption excludes Capital A deed-restricted affordable units from the rent stabilization ordinance. This housing is built by the Housing Authority and subsidized by federal and state grants. According to Councilmember Harmon, this type of housing is extremely difficult to operate in the first place. With rent so low, landlords often struggle with ongoing costs like maintenance, administration, and insurance. These are the city’s most affordable units, with price controls baked into the deed of the unit. Therefore, according to Harmon, these housing projects run on “incredibly thin margins.” If a project can’t cover its operating costs, it won’t be able to provide housing at all. “To mess with that delicate balance is to

Rob Fredericks, the executive director of the Santa Barbara Housing Authority, spoke at Tuesday’s council meeting.

undermine what everyone’s goal here really is,” Harmon said. “To change the balance of these projects in any way essentially dooms them.” Harmon also said that Capital A affordable housing is a smart investment— it is built on city loans that have repayment schedules. This money is then used to fund the next project. For these reasons, Harmon believes this specific housing should continue to operate separately from the rent stabilization ordinance.

The other exemption Harmon stayed stern on was for low-income housing provided through Section 8 vouchers. These federally distributed vouchers allow tenants to only pay a percentage of their rent, while the rest is subsidized by the government. However, landlords rarely accept tenants on these vouchers because they come with a “wild amount of federal oversight and bureaucracy,” according to Harmon. If the rent stabilization ordinance was added on top of the federal bureaucracy, Harmon said landlords would be disincentivised to accept Section 8 tenants.

“The reason I’m passionate about it is because these tenants can’t afford $4,000 a month whether or not the rent stabilization ordinance is passed or not,” Harmon said. “The loss of Section 8 is a direct pipeline to homelessness.” At around 8pm, the meeting adjourned, and the rent stabilization ordinance was pushed ahead with a few changes. In a first motion, the council approved the ordinance with some changes to language, restricting the collection of personal information about tenants, and requiring that one member of the new rent stabilization board must be a senior tenant. It passed, with Mayor Randy Rowse and council members Eric Friedman and Mike Jordan opposed. The second motion okayed the exemptions, with Mayor Randy Rowse and council members Santamaria and Gutierrez opposed.

“I think we need to move forward now,” Harmon said at the meeting. “I’m missing something in the conversation to delay this, we’ve had months of urgency.” Printed with permission of the Santa Barbara News-Press • 9.23.26 • newspress.com
