Mentors with fire in their bellies
A magnet for distinguished and avant-garde talent, the Music Academy of the West has attracted Missy Mazzoli and Miguel Harth-Bedoya
By Kerry Methner / VOICE
WITH A TOUCH OF PATRIOTISM THAT MOVES INTO AN INTIMATE CHAT with a cutting edge composer, The Music Academy of the West has found its complex stride as it wraps the third week of the Summer Festival. Leading the way is Miguel Harth-Bedoya, who, after closing the Summer Music Festival in 2025, has returned to open the 2026 season with the Academy Festival Orchestra. He’ll be followed by Missy Mazzoli, whose Lincoln in the Bardo is the first opera by a woman to be solely commissioned and premiered by The Metropolitan Opera.
Harth-Bedoya has the important role of pulling Academy fellows together into
a cohesive whole for their first concert together on Friday, July 3rd at The Granada Theatre at 7:30pm.
“The people that make up the Music Academy and the people that come to the concerts, they’re fantastic,” Harth-Bedoya related in a conversation with VOICE. “It’s such an effervescent and electric place.”
For the AFO season debut, Harth-Bedoya has paired Gershwin with Brahms - in part because of the concert’s proximity to the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and 4th of July holiday, and as an acknowledgment of an American composer and American classical music.
Additionally, since it’s the beginning of the festival, he wanted to open with something traditional from the canon.
“[I programmed] something that is colorful, local to a degree, and something of tradition and universal statement,” he shared, adding that the contrast in the program supports the music education of the Academy Festival Orchestra fellows.
“I don’t think I have done any festival’s first concert, but there is only one chance to make a first impression,” he said. “I’m very excited for these first [performances] because the musicians are meeting for the first time, so I get to work with the unknown among them, and that only happens once... That’s what’s exciting, because I have a lot of [artistic ideas] that are going to spark once they start playing, once they start getting to know each other musically or personally.”
In this, the first of four concerts by the AFO, HarthBedoya’s considerable experience at the helm of symphonies as well as his experience at Rice University Shepherd School of Music, as Distinguished Director of Orchestras and Professor of Conducting, will serve him and the fellows well.
An Emmy award-winning and Grammy-nominated conductor, he is a master of color, drawing idiomatic interpretations from a diverse and wide range of repertoire in concerts across the globe.
Harth-Bedoya has also established The Conducting Institute to teach the fundamentals of conducting to students ages high school and up, of all levels, through intensive summer and winter programs, workshops, courses, and seminars.
The very next scheduled event is a Composer Chat with one of the most influential composers of today, Mosher Guest Artist Missy Mazzoli, hosted by Conor Hanick on July 6th at 1:30pm in Weinman Hall.
Then on July 10th at 7:30pm, Mazzoli will be fêted with a special Picnic Concert: Missy Mazzoli: In Her Words, which she curated. It will feature several pieces by Mazzoli, including a world premiere of Piano Études, which she wrote for solo piano. Six Academy fellows will perform them.
“Since these are world premieres, we will kind of discover what these pieces are together. When I finish a piece, it’s not really done until a performer brings it to life. So, I hope that these young artists are willing to go on that journey and, find their own sorts of things in the piece that maybe, I haven’t seen or fully explored yet,” shared Mazzoli in a telephone interview with VOICE.
Picnic Concerts are equal parts relaxed and virtuosic, timed to follow literal picnics in the Academy gardens prior to Hahn Hall concerts. Also on the program are works by other American women composers and composers
who influenced Mazzoli. One of those American women composers is Mia Turakhia whose composition A Cathedral of Rust and Birds will receive its World Premiere.
Turakhia’s work is a commission that comes in conjunction with Luna Composition Lab’s celebration of their 10th anniversary.
Luna Composition Lab began as a collaboration between two acclaimed composers, Mazzoli and Ellen Reid, who recognized a need for mentors for young women composers. It is a year long program for high school age students.
“Mia was a Luna Lab fellow last year. At the time, she was one of the youngest students we’ve ever had. She was only 14,” added Mazzoli. “As a Luna Lab fellow, you’re awarded a year of mentorship with a prominent female or non-binary composer, and then you are brought to New York in the summer for a music festival and you have a premiere of your work

at Carnegie Hall. Mia’s work was this really, super exciting, very accomplished, visceral work that was sort of about climate change... She’s working at a level that’s so high... I think she’s maybe 15 now. Which is extraordinary. I knew she’s from California, so I when I had the opportunity to program a student, a Luna Lab, alum, for this program, [I knew] that she would be the perfect one. She’s created a piece called A Cathedral of Rust and Birds, which is a great title. I’m really excited to hear it.”
There are nearly 60 Luna Lab Alumni now, and Mazzoli is proud of them, and her own work. “It’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever done, to create this program with Ellen Reid. I know firsthand that a single commission, like a single professional performance can change the course of your career... It’s really, really helpful if those things happen when you’re in your teens or your early 20s,” Mazzoli continued.
When Mazzoli turned to programing the rest of the Picnic Concert, she explained,“I thought it’d be interesting to program two female composers who have had a huge impact on me, but were from very different times in history. So Hildegard von Bingen [1098-1179], most people probably have heard of, and then Meredith Monk, who was a mentor of
mine, and I worked for her 20 years ago as an assistant. She’s a friend and a mentor and has had a profound impact on me. I thought it was cool to have my mentor and then Mia, who I’m mentoring, so you can see the lineage of composers and influence.”
Mazzoli’s 2026-27 season includes the world premiere of two operas, Lincoln in the Bardo at The Met and The Galloping Cure at the Edinburgh International Festival, and a new piano concerto for Leif Ove Andsnes to be premiered by the New York Philharmonic and Elbphilharmonie Orchester.
“It’s important for me to make work that is informed by what’s going on in the world, that resonates with people now, with audiences now, and that is in dialogue with politics, with visual art, with, current events. It’s very exciting for me to be in conversation with that. I feel like classical music and opera, and solo piano work, and new classical music is new art, and it has the potential to be as visceral ,and political, and relevant as a massive painting, or a new play, or a new album. I really want to be someone who’s making that kind of work.”

Santa Barbara Unified Approves 106-Unit Affordable Housing Project for District Staff
AN AGREEMENT TO BUILD AFFORDABLE
APARTMENTS was approved by Santa Barbara Unified’s Board of Education. The agreement is to build 106 apartments near San Marcos High School for local teachers and school staff.
The Tatum project addresses the high cost of living in southern Santa Barbara County, which has made it difficult for educators to afford housing near the schools where they work.
“Great schools are built by people and people need stable, affordable places to call home,” said Dr. Hilda Maldonado, Superintendent of Santa Barbara Unified School District. “We are committed to making that possible. This project reflects a simple conviction: the educators who dedicate their careers to the children of Santa Barbara deserve to live here, too. “
The project will use a 3.65-acre portion of land off Hollister Avenue. In 2021, the school board agreed to sell the land to a private developer, Red Tail, on the condition that a portion of it be returned for affordable staff housing.
Under the newly approved deal, the District bought back the site for $7.4 million. The developer financed the entire purchase price, meaning no money left the district at
closing.
The District then signed a 99-year lease with the affordable housing developer FLT San Simeon Oaks. The district keeps ownership of the land, and the buildings will belong to the district at the end of the lease. The Housing Authority of the County of Santa Barbara will manage the property.
The project stands out because it will not cost District taxpayers any money. Typically, public agencies must pass local tax bonds or spend general fund money to build housing. Instead, the developer is bringing roughly $60 million in private and federal financing to fund construction. The District is not committing any general fund or bond money and will not build the project or run it.
Of the 106 units, 97 are reserved first for Santa Barbara Unified employees. Any remaining open units will be offered to other area school employees and local nonprofit workers. Eight units are set aside for veterans, and one is for an on-site manager. All units are income-restricted, with rent geared toward households earning around 60% of the area median income.
Construction will move forward under the guidance of the private developer and the local housing authority.

Supreme Court rejects Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship
The justices ruled that the Constitution guarantees U.S. citizenship to virtually everyone born on American soil.
By Josh Gerstein / Politico / 6.30.26
THE SUPREME COURT HAS UPHELD THE CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEE of birthright citizenship, rejecting President Donald Trump’s attempt to upend more than a century of legal consensus that virtually everyone born on American soil is a U.S. citizen.
The court’s ruling, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, invalidates an executive order Trump issued on the first day of his second term seeking to deny citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants and of people studying, working or visiting the U.S. on timelimited visas.
The ruling Tuesday is the second major blow the conservative-leaning high court has dealt this year against a pillar of Trump’s policy agenda. In February, the justices knocked out the centerpiece of his trade policy by overturning sweeping tariffs Trump imposed on imports from around the globe.
Five justices — Roberts, Justice Amy Coney Barrett and the three liberals — agreed that the Constitution guarantees birthright citizenship. Justice Brett Kavanaugh disagreed with that conclusion but said Trump’s executive order is invalid because it violates a federal statute.
Roberts rejected arguments that the Constitution’s grant of citizenship applies only to those whose parents are “domiciled” in the U.S., owing their allegiance to the U.S.
“If Congress intended to limit American citizenship to the children of those domiciled in the United States, nothing in the succinct language of the Citizenship Clause conveyed that design,” Roberts wrote.
Trump appeared to have been bracing for a loss since April, when he took the extraordinary step of showing up in person for the court’s oral arguments — the first known instance of a sitting president turning up to observe an argument.
Trump followed up his visit with a series of social media posts keeping up pressure on the court to uphold his policy, but there was an air of resignation to many of his comments and as recently as last month he predicted that he would “probably” lose the case.
In a rambling Truth Social post last month, Trump said he expected a loss at the high court “because our Court System is RIGGED, no different than our Political
System is RIGGED, and the people of our Country know it, and that is why I got overwhelmingly elected President, in Record Numbers, and will FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!”
Trump and his allies argued that awarding birthright citizenship encourages illegal immigration because migrants know their children will have the right to live in the U.S. indefinitely. Republican lawmakers have also said the practice poses national security concerns by promoting “birth tourism.”
Justice Clarence Thomas, in a dissent joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch, adopted some of Trump’s rhetoric.
The court has recognized “a constitutional right to citizenship for the children of all foreign birth tourists and illegal aliens,” Thomas wrote.
Justice Samuel Alito, in a solo dissent, also referred to “birth tourists” but emphasized that even without a constitutional guarantee of citizenship, immigrant children could win relief from Congress.
“Many of those who have grown up here now have a strong moral claim to be allowed to remain, but that is a matter that the Fourteenth Amendment, when properly interpreted, leaves to Congress,” Alito wrote.
Critics of Trump’s plan said birthright citizenship has been a bedrock principle of American life for almost 130 years and abandoning that approach would create a bevy of practical problems as officials struggled to determine the legal status of the parents of every child born in the U.S.
While Trump’s January 2025 order declared that U.S. citizenship would only be denied for births taking place 30 days or more after it went into effect, lawyers said any ruling upholding the proposal could create legal uncertainty for many people born in the U.S. and long assumed to hold American citizenship.

FRENCH WAVE 2026: Across the Oceans, Cinematically
By Robert F. Adams, Special to VOICE
WHAT AN EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITY Santa Barbara audiences have to travel to France, for an annual voyage via images, stories, and music. A way to avoid the scorching heatwaves surrounding Paris, travelers may still meet scorching drama for the duration of this 2026 French Wave. It will offer seven classic films and 14 newer French films over 14 days and nights of story and character-driven screenings.
Opening night is Friday, July 10th with films running through Thursday, July 23rd.
This year a change of venue is in store, as the 21 carefully selected films are screened at the new SBIFF Film Center at 916 State Street (at the corner of Canon Perdido and State Streets). What a great way to spend midsummer days and evenings watching characters unfold in human dramas and comedies, made by artful and original filmmakers, all coinciding with the Bastille Day time of year.
is a coming of age tale set in a luxury villa on the French Riviera.
Also on tap is Nino, a delicate portrait from filmmaker Pauline Loquès featuring a noteworthy performance from the emerging actor Théodore Pellerin. The character he creates is compelled to journey through Paris, learning much about himself and the communities he intersects with.
The rarely-screened classics to look for include some career topping performances from some key French actresses of the New Wave and beyond including Brigitte Bardot in the not-to-be missed Jean-Luc Godard film, Contempt, from 1963. The settings are unequaled and spectacular, among other qualities. Also screening is 1964’s Diary of a Chambermaid with a multivalent performance from the unequaled French drama queen Jeanne Moreau, set in Paris, in a film written and directed by Luis Buñuel.
Also included is the Alain Resnais’ 1959 masterpiece, the thoughtfully searing film Hiroshima Mon Amour featuring career-making performances from both Emmanuelle Riva and Eiji Okada. Also on tap will be Last Year at Marienbad, also by Alain Resnais (released in 1961 to great acclaim) and another Godard classic, Pierrot Le Fou, featuring the exquisite Anna Karina opposite Jean-Paul Belmondo in a 1965 topsy-turvy satirical road drama. The classics are rounded out with the legendary Isabelle Huppert in Entre Nous from 1983 and Le Sauvage from 1975, starring Catherine Deneuve opposite Yves Montand in a drama set on a Caribbean Island.
Highlights of the newer films, the main thrust of the screenings, include Case 137 (Dossier 137) starring Léa Drucker in her César Award-winning performance in hard-hitting filmmaker Dominik Moll's tense drama about potential police violence stemming from a Paris protest.
Also screening is the awardwinning Six Days in Spring (Six jours ce printemps-là) from writerdirector Joachim Lafosse. The film
Other revelatory stories include The Little Sister (La Petite Dernière) that was nominated for seven César Awards and won for Best Female Revelation for lead Nadia Melliti's performance. The film was also the winner of the Queer Palm at the Cannes Film Festival.
Another new film, At Work (À Pied D'œuvre) from director Valérie Donzelli was the winning Best Screenplay at the Venice Film Festival about a former photographer who faces insecurities when he embraces his literary destiny.
The 2026 Wave embraces human complexity and personal histories and will showcase, again, the universal stories in a variety of French or French-influenced
locations. Audiences are bound to learn much about history or the challenges of life in a current context.
There are passholder options available with an Opening Night reception at Sullivan-Goss Art Gallery for passholders. The invaluable Wave Pocket Guide for the 21 films programmed will be available at the reception and at the Film Center. It includes all titles and time slots. Schedules and showtimes can also be found atsbifftheatres. com/wave and on the SBIFF app.
Oui, oui! See you at les films!

Santa Barbara City Council backs electric bikes, votes to keep cars off downtown State Street
The battle over State Street has shined a spotlight on a demographic and power shift in Santa Barbara and sparked a debate about the future of the city.
By Joshua Molina, Santa Barbara NewsPress, 7.1.26
THE BICYCLES WIN,
5-2.
It wasn’t quite as thrilling as a World Cup knockout round game, but Santa Barbara City Hall had its share of cheers, jeers, and celebrations Tuesday night, in a discussion about the future of State Street.
With about 100 people in attendance at City Hall, and another 2,000 watching the YouTube livestream, the City Council voted to keep State Street the way it is. The vote means State Street, from the 500 to 1100 blocks, will remain closed to cars, and open to electric bikes and pedestrians.
The 1200 block will continue to have one lane of vehicular traffic.
Mayor Randy Rowse and councilman
Eric Friedman voted to return the street to its pre-COVID 19 condition, and allow cars to return in both directions, but they were outnumbered by their colleagues.
“This is our seventh summer coming up,” Rowse said. “Seven summers since we have had a Fiesta parade or anything on State Street and we’re feeling it. And feeling it in the town’s spirit as well.”
Rowse said electric bikes have taken over the downtown.
“We have a sidewalk where people walk and a street where bikes rule, nowadays,” Rowse said. “I think the time is now to go back, open up the street.”
Rowse said retail businesses are suffering.
“It just doesn’t feel like a business street,” Rowse said. “It feels like the county fair.”
The battle over State Street has shined a spotlight on a demographic and power shift in Santa Barbara. A new generation of mostly under 30 activists is challenging the establishment, on everything from alternative transportation to housing policy and rent stabilization.
In this case, they are pushing for greater bicycle and pedestrian mobility downtown and contend that the car symbolizes pollution, road danger, and a bygone era.
Community activist Hannah Cohen said a majority of people want State Street closed and it is the most popular policy decision that the council could make.
“We’re in an ever-disconnected world,” Cohen said. “Cars on State Street will just disconnect us more. We really need to have more face-to-face-opportunities.”
But many longtime locals, boomers, and Gen Xers, remember a time when they could drive downtown in their vehicles, check out the retail stores and restaurants, and then park in a lot and walk to their destinations. Others have expressed feeling unsafe or harassed by people riding electric bikes downtown.
“Honestly I feel like we should ban e-bikes altogether on State Street,” said community activist Reyna Angel. “They can use the side roads and it should be just open to cars.”
2019, when the street was open to cars.
She also said that the current configuration would delay emergency response times between 60 and 90 seconds, if there were a major emergency in the area. Returning the street to cars, including removing all of the extended sidewalks, planters and other public furniture, would cost about $700,000.
Angel said she walked a block from El Paseo to City Hall to testify at the council meeting Tuesday and she almost got hit by three e-bikes.
Meanwhile, many businesses have expressed support for keeping the street closed to cars, but some others want it back open.
Jenna Berg, who owns a piano bar downtown on the 1200 block, said noise from vehicles does not align with the vibe of her business.
“There is noise, there is pollution, there are cars on the one lane that I would like to see not be there,” Berg said. “I imagine if you open State Street all the way down, there will be 20 times as many loud, polluting, speeding cars who do not stop.”
But Kathy Romasanta-Eckert, who owns a hotel on Cabrillo Boulevard, said many of her guests don’t travel up to State Street because it is “dirty, stinking, and dangerous.”
She said the e-bikes are ruining the street.
“Open it up,” she said. “Get the e-bikes off. Open up State Street.”
Tess Harris, Santa Barbara’s State Street Master Planner, said retail vacancies on State Street are about 12.5 percent, according to Radius Commercial Real Estate. Ideally, she said, that number would be about five percent. But still, the retail vacancy rate is about the same as it was in
The technical vote Tuesday night was to extend Title 31, which was an emergency order put into place during the COVID-19 pandemic. The order closed part of State Street to cars and allowed outdoor dining. Title 31 was set to expire in December.
As a practical matter, the council’s 5-2 vote means the street will remain how it is until the City Council approves the State Street Master Plan. The council is set to vote in August, but implementing the changes could take several years.
The Master Plan allows for e-bikes in both directions, but proposes one lane of vehicular traffic from 10pm to 6am, using mechanical and retractable bollards, going north, away from the ocean.
Santa Barbara City Councilwoman Kristen Sneddon said the momentum around State Street is headed in the right direction. She noted the changes coming to Paseo Nuevo and the presence of UCSB and Westmont College downtown.
Sneddon said the city must continue its momentum.
“This is just not the time to go back,” Sneddon said.

It’s good to break a sweat, but don’t
‘What’s important is the total amount of human movement.’
By Alvin Powell, Harvard Staff Writer, June 23, 2026
YOUR BODY DOESN’T CARE HOW YOU MOVE, AS LONG AS YOU MOVE.
That was the message delivered Thursday by panelists at the Chan School in conversation about the benefits of staying active and the excesses of “no pain, no gain.”
Though studies of the health effects of physical activity are often conducted with a focus on specific exercises, Meagan Wasfy, Harvard Medical School associate professor of medicine at Mass General, said that the development of wearable fitness monitors has enabled researchers to see the impact of a greater variety of activities. The results have been clear.
“The heart — and also the whole body — doesn’t know what shoes you have on your feet,” said Wasfy, an MGH sports cardiologist and echocardiographer.
Wasfy’s co-panelists at the event, “Reframing Exercise,” were Mia Sanchez, a marathoner who studied environmental health at the Chan School; Brooke Forde, an Olympic silver medal swimmer and project coordinator at the Chan School; and I-Min Lee, a professor of epidemiology at the Chan School and of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
Sanchez and Forde spoke about their transitions from competitive to casual exercise. One thing they learned? Exercise doesn’t have to
sweat the details
“The heart — and also the whole body — doesn’t know what shoes you have on your feet.” Meagan Wasfy
hurt.
“I was able to stop and reflect on my ‘why’ of exercise and how I could find that balance,” Sanchez said of an enforced pause due to a stress fracture. “Then, moving on from college into graduate school, there wasn’t as much time for that high-intensity training that I was used to for so long. But I was able to find love for not only running but other forms of exercise, like going outside and playing soccer or volleyball with my friends.”
For those looking to slim down, panelists said that staying active can help with weight maintenance, but that it’s not, on its own, a great way to shed pounds. Even so, research has shown that among people with obesity, those who exercise are healthier than those who don’t.
For anyone starting an exercise regimen, physical activity is most beneficial when it is regular and habitual, Lee noted. Also, your hard-charging past won’t save you today.
“It appears that what you currently do is more important than what you did in the past,” Lee said. “Harvard athletes who play a lot of sports when they’re in College but become couch potatoes actually don’t do as well as people who did no sport in college but are currently physically active.”
Panelists endorsed the government’s recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week as a good starting point for most people. Another popular guideline is 10,000 steps per day, which dates to a study done in the 1960s. Here, the group offered caveats.
For older adults, they said, citing more recent data, the cardiovascular and cancer benefits start to taper at 6,000 steps. (Which doesn’t mean you should stop: The social or psychological benefits may continue to mount.) For sedentary adults, health gains begin to accrue almost right away, even at 500 to 1,000 steps. For them, walking a half-hour or an hour provides significant benefit.
“What’s important is the total amount of human movement,” Wasfy said. “What’s important for the health benefits is the total dose. The details don’t matter quite as much.”

HE PERSONAL CONSUMPTION EXPENDITURE INDEX
(PCE),
the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge that covers the widest spectrum of price changes, gave no relief in May. In fact, the PCE graph above showed inflation’s steady climb since Trump’s April 2025 Liberation Day (illegal) tariff hikes levied on the rest of the world that must now be repaid.
No Relief From Inflation ECONOMIC VOICE
“From the same month one year ago, the PCE price index for May increased 4.1 percent. Excluding food and energy, the PCE price index increased 3.4 percent from one year ago.”
may have to raise interest rates sometime this year. The Ukraine and Iran wars are creating more product shortages on top of the supply chain shortages caused by the tariffs.
The Ukraine war could be over if Trump had taken Ukraine’s side in the conflict instead of Putin’s. And how will he handle the Iranians who have the U.S. over a barrel (of more than oil) because he must bring down the price of oil-based products as well?
Refunding the tariffs to importers won’t reduce inflation because the higher import costs were passed on to consumers and producers. It becomes a chain reaction as those costs work through the economy. There are also the distributers, for instance, as well as the retailers and manufacturers’ profits that go into the chain.
By Harlan Green
The 4.1% annual inflation rate means inflation is now out of control for wholesale prices that go into the finished products as well. This is while Kevin Warsh, the new Fed Chairman, has said he is committed to bringing inflation back down to 2%.
When and how can it be done? We will be living with the likelihood the Fed
The U.S. economy is growing at 2% in the latest first quarter revision because consumers have kept shopping, but with a terrific toll on their personal savings rate (down to just 3%).
The financial markets have added to the frenzy because of the A.I. spending to expand data centers. There’s more than a little irrational exuberance prevailing, I said last week.
Their actions have raised consumer prices to such a level that they may not come down for years. We know this because the wholesale Producer Price Index (PPI), that measures the price of raw materials going into the finished products rose a whopping 1.1% in May, seasonally adjusted, also the largest rise in more than three years that must work its
May Tax Results for the City of Santa Barbara
THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA collected $3.4 million in Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) for May 2026, the eleventh month in the City’s fiscal year.
Year to date, the City has collected $34.2 million in overall TOT, of which approximately $30.1 million came from hotels and $4.1 million from short-term rentals. Year to date, total TOT revenues are coming in 7.3 percent above budget.
The Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is a Tax on “Transient” guests staying in any hotel, inn, motel, or other commercial lodging establishment for a period of less than 30 days.
The City’s adopted TOT budget for all funds is $35.5 Million, of which $29.5 Million is budgeted in the General Fund.
View the Transient Occupancy Tax Table. The City’s TOT tax rate is 12.0 percent, of which 10.0 percent goes to the City’s General Fund and the remaining 2.0 percent goes to the Creeks/Clean Water Fund.

No, inflation is here to stay for a while, producing an immense asset bubble as the U.S. economy advances into the next stage of our industrial revolution. Economists have another term to describe it—creative destruction—that economist John Kenneth Galbraith said was,
“the cyclical process by which the system eliminates the people and institutions which are mentally too vulnerable for useful economic service. Unfortunately the process has larger and less benign effects, including the possibility of painful recession or depression.”
We are in this inflationary mess because of executive actions made on impulse rather than research by a President and advisors who are completely ignorant of basic economic theory, who has said he likes the inflation and no longer cares about the economy.
Who will be the winners and losers in the A.I. economy to come at such a speed that will upend the lives and jobs of the next generations?

The plaintiff claims the defendant owes $12,480.60
a. Why does the defendant owe the plaintiff money?
The defendant withheld my security deposit for a gate that broke due to high winds-an act of God, not caused by us and for a cleaning fee, even though we had to clean upon arrival as the 4 room pool house was dirty and mice feces and mice were present in kitchen and multiple other locations in main house. An 11 hour power outage left toilet and hot water inoperable, and locked us on property with no exit instructions. Some features (e.g, dry sauna) were broken or inoperable for the duration of the event. These conditions materially impacted the event, damaged my reputation as a host, and caused lost revenue both during and after the event.
b. When did this happen?: 10/11/2025. c. How did you calculate the money owed to you? (Do not include court costs or fees for service.): $2,899.60 deposit deduction for gate damage; $500 deposit deduction for cleaning; $1,950 hire chef to cook meals offsite as kitchen unsanitary with mice; $1,785 photography revenue lost ($595x3); $825 massage revenue lost ($275x3); $531 lunches purchased from restaurants as kitchen unsanitary; $3,750 rent abatement (50% of 1 night cost /loss of use due to habitability & safety issues) You must ask the defendant (in person, in writing, or by phone) to pay you before you sue. If your claim is for possession of property, you must ask the defendant to give you the property. Have you done this? * Yes. Why are you filing your claim at this courthouse? This courthouse covers the area (check the one that applies): a. Where the defendant lives or does business, Where the plaintiff’s property was damaged, Where the plaintiff was injured, Where a contract (written or spoken) was made, signed, performed, or broken by the defendant or where the defendant lived or did business when the defendant made the contract. The zipcode of the place checked above is 93108. This claim is for more than $2,500. I understand that by filing a claim in small claims court, I have no right to appeal this claim.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the information above and on any attachments to this form is true and correct. Date: 1/21/2026. Nicole Wald, Plaintiff.

the Ecological Heroes Hiding in Plain Sight
By Bridget Keon / VOICE
WORKING AS WE SLEEP, beavers are subtle architects whose efforts sustain ecosystems and revitalize landscapes. With this discovery, Pamela Adams found a new calling, which is the basis of a documentary on beavers.
“Suddenly the world felt larger and more alive than I had imagined,” she said. “That first video flipped a switch in me. I wanted to know everything about this mysterious, ancient creature that had been shaping watersheds for millions of years without asking our permission or our attention.”
On July 10th, The Freelance Beaver Detective: Tracking Urban Wildlife will premiere in a free screening at the Santa Barbara City College West Campus. The film follows Adams and her work tracking urban beavers in Seattle. The premiere will also feature a talk with Adams and
filmmaker Kay D. Ray.
“Beavers are builders of wetlands, creators of biodiversity hotspots, and, I like to say, the furry probiotics of our
GoletaLEMONS
watersheds,” Adams explained. “They are masters of rehydrating groundwater, slowing fast water, and creating natural speed bumps that can reduce flooding during major storm events.”
Beavers make their critical yet subtle impressions on a variety of environments, including in Santa Barbara County. Beavers and their habitats have been spotted along the Santa Ynez River, Zaca Creek, Alamo Pintada Creek, and Redrock Canyon. From creating ponds and wetland nurseries for juvenile steelhead trout to creating natural wet buffers that help mitigate the spread of wildfires, their presence impacts each of the species around them, including us.
Adams aims to foster more “freelance beaver detectives” in every urban waterway in the West and beyond. In the spirit of this goal, there will be a Wildlife Trail Camera workshop on Saturday, July 11th, from 9am to 12pm, with reservations and attendance at Friday’s film premiere required in advance. Adams founded BeaverInsights, which supports these goals, after graduating from her local BeaverCorps Program.
“Noninvasive wildlife cameras democratize conservation,” she said. “For about the cost of a dinner out, anyone can become a witness to the hidden lives of wildlife in their own watershed....I’ve watched neighbors, school children, landowners, engineers, and watershed managers become emotionally invested in beaver coexistence after seeing the footage for themselves.”
Ray, a producer, director, filmmaker and founder of Kay D. Ray Productions,
Adams at a photo exhibit of Tom Reese’s salmon in Longfellow Creek, Seattle. Inspired by Adams and her work, Ray jumped into the project, and within a year, got funding, and shot and edited the film.
“My hopes for the film are twofold: One, to help people understand the seasonal changes the beavers are making to our urban watersheds and how to best adapt and live with these beautiful creatures,” Ray said. “And two, to get Pamela the attention and accolades for the work she has industriously done within the local and national Beaver community.”
As for Adams, she hopes the film continues to inspire the sense of wonderment and awe that her trail cameras and work with beavers have fostered for her, and in this, help communities perceive beavers as valued neighbors and partners in healthy ecosystems.
Adams majored in Fine Arts at San Francisco State University after growing up in California. With careers ranging from hospitality to owning a commercial insurance risk management company, she retired to the wilds of the Pacific Northwest to heal from a cancer diagnosis, where she fell in love with beavers as a researcher and educator.
The event is co-sponsored by the Santa Barbara Permaculture Network and the Santa Barbara Beaver Brigade, a local advocacy group that has joined the Bring Back the Beaver campaign, aiming to educate policymakers, landowners, and the public on the benefits of beavers and their ecological restoration potential. sbpermaculture.org

A STRONGER ENFORCEMENT OF UNLICENSED FOOD VENDORS SETTING UP STREET KITCHENS is underway in Santa Barbara. Signs are up and multiple locations have been contacted. Many are no longer setting up on Milpas St. or on State Street intersections in the downtown nightclub areas. Numerous licensed food business owners have complained since 2023 and The Grand Jury cited many unenforced violations in 2025. Street vending in smaller mobile carts, or the fruit sellers, do not have the same strict laws as the kitchens.
Pride Month in Carpinteria
CARPINTERIA CELEBRATES JUNE AS PRIDE MONTH each year, with citywide inclusivity proclamations, raising the Progress Pride Flag at the intersection of Carpinteria and Linden avenues, and supporting local community events.
State Street Promenade to remain car free
THE STATE STREET PROMENADE IN SANTA BARBARA will remain nearly entirely car free while a master plan is completed later this summer. The Santa Barbara City Council rejected an option to return cars where they were prior to May 20, 2020. One way traffic is allowed in the 1200 block mainly for the Granada Theatre drop off. The 1300 block has two way traffic in and around the Arlington Theatre, shops and restaurants. The cost to reopen the street was estimated at $700,000. This issue is one of the most controversial topics the city has faced in the last six years.

Toggling Tech Awards and Community Benefits
By Isaac Hernández de Lipa / VOICE
HONORING INDUSTRY LEADERS AND RECOGNIZING COMMUNITY COLLABORATIONS,
the South Coast Business and Technology Awards ceremony at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort attracted well over 500 guests with the theme, “celebrating leadership and ingenuity.” The benefit gala donated proceeds to the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara.
“Each year, the South Coast Business and Technology Awards (SCBT) ceremony showcases this community’s remarkable capacity to produce and attract high-caliber business talent, while underscoring the Scholarship Foundation’s undeniably important role in educating the workforce of tomorrow,” said Tim Dougherty, interim president and CEO of the Scholarship Foundation.
The SCBT Awards began in 1995, when QAD was named Company of the Year. In 2001, the event began raising funds for the Scholarship Foundation, providing a total of nearly $3.7 million for area scholarships since then.
honors went to William Wang, founder and CEO of ChipAgents, an AI-native platform redefining how semiconductors are designed and verified.
The evening, co-emceed by Danna McGrew and Matt Rowe, was a celebration supporting education and the hiring of young graduates, while underscoring the progress of AI. A case in point: Entrepreneur of the Year
“We’ve been hiring 80 percent of our employees from UCSB and they’ve been wonderful,” said Wang, who’s also the Mellichamp Chair Professor of AI at UCSB, as he encouraged others to hire new graduates.
The Department of Technology Management at UCSB, which “equips students with the skills to launch new ventures, manage cross-functional teams, and help organizations thrive in an uncertain world,” received the Excellence in Service Award. The department began with just two courses in the late ’90s providing business instruction to UCSB engineering students. “Today, the department offers more than 30 courses and serves almost 3,000 students from 50 majors,” said Dave Adornetto, Director, Entrepreneurship. “That’s over ten percent of the student population at UCSB.”
Adornetto shared the three phases of a successful career: Learning, Earning and Returning or giving back. “I returned to UCSB after 25 years in the med-tech industry,” he said. “At the time I made a two-year commitment – that was 12 years ago. I’ve stayed because Phase 3 for me has been the most rewarding work I’ve done. Many of the lecturers and mentors in our programs have followed a similar path. If you get an opportunity to discover your Phase 3, take it!”

Trudi Carey, recipient of the Pioneer Award, shared her choice to become a licensed architect, real estate broker AND a general contractor so that she wouldn’t have all her eggs in one basket. If the real estate market were to crash, at least she’d make a commission when selling. She also spoke highly about the people who helped her along the way, including Montecito Bank & Trust founder Michael Towbes.

Anthem Church project in Goleta struck down
Goleta planning commissioners vote against the proposal, reflecting community members’ concerns about neighborhood compatability; appeal possible.
By Sofia Wallace, Santa Barbara News-Press, 6.24.26
ANTHEM CHAPEL may need a few prayers.
The Goleta Planning Commission on Monday rebuked the church’s proposal to build a new campus next to Christ Lutheran Church, 6595 Covington Way.
“My question really is, does it need to be that size,” said Commissioner Rita Serotkin. “It’s probably terrifying to people who live in the neighborhood.”
The new church would create a permanent home for the Anthem Chapel congregation — operating as a “mobile church” since 2018 — in a Goleta neighborhood. It currently holds weekly Sunday services at Goleta Valley Junior High School.
Nate Wagner, lead pastor for Anthem, acknowledged neighbors’ previous noise and traffic concerns, but said the church seeks to be a positive presence in Goleta.
“Not only for ourselves, but for the community we love,” he said.
Commissioner Anne Miller attributed her “no” vote to public safety concerns and inciting divisiveness in the neighborhood.
The decision follows three meetings with the Goleta Design Review Board, which unanimously approved the revised project in late May. Commissioner Katie Maynard noted that the project is consistent with zoning ordinances, but the board ultimately sided with community members worried about traffic, noise and neighborhood compatibility.
The meeting concluded with two votes, one to divide the land into two parcels, and one to approve a conditional use permit. Commissioners voted 2-1 to split the land but did not approve the permit. Commissioner Anne Miller voted no on both motions, with Commissioner Rita Serotkin joining her in the second vote.
The Anthem Chapel developers may appeal the decision to Goleta City Council. Chatter of “we’re not done yet” was heard as the meeting closed.
The project proposes splitting the 3.4 acre single-family residential zoned site into two smaller lots. Lot 1 will retain
existing Christian Lutheran Church facilities, who Anthem is currently renting land from. Lot 2 proposes the new Anthem Chapel campus, which includes a 6,512 square foot sanctuary, a 13,554 square foot, two-story education building to house a daycare and pre-school, and 117 parking spaces.
Though the staff report ensured that 117 parking spots would satisfy the demands of both services and education programs, commissioners were concerned that the report didn’t include weekend traffic analysis, since the church plans to have 3 Sunday services. Commenters spoke on overflow traffic and parking into the surrounding neighborhood.
The public comment section of the meeting brought over 20 speakers to the podium, several of which have been residents of the neighborhood for up to 30 years. Many noise concerns stemmed from the COVID-19 pandemic, when Anthem Church held services outside under tents. Church representatives acknowledged these past disruptions.
“The vast majority of these (amplified sound) events are happening indoors, which is a big difference between now and what was happening during COVID,” said Steve Welton, principal planner of SEPPS Land Use Consulting, “We’re proposing only amplified sound indoors.”
The project also proposes reducing a 100 foot environmentally sensitive habitat area (EHSA) buffer for monarch butterflies to 50 feet, expanding the area to church members. In restoring the lot with trees and other vegetation for monarchs to forage, the staff report said the project will increase the likelihood of monarchs returning to the region.
Though the environmental findings in support of reducing the ESHA buffer were reviewed by a local monarch specialist, many public speakers felt the findings were side-stepping CEQA review.
Neighborhood speakers worried that if approved, the Anthem Church could set a new precedent that welcomes other projects this large a scale into Goleta neighborhoods.
Welton said the planners did size the project down, but the sanctuary size, which will fit 500 people, remains fixed.
Additional public safety concerns stemmed from the project’s proposed new driveway onto Los Carneros Road. One speaker cited the recent death of a biker, others worried that traffic could block a nearby fire station. Los Carneros Road is also a popular evacuation route. Though the plans were reviewed by the Santa Barbara county fire department, neighbors were skeptical.
Members of the Anthem Congregation attended the meeting and expressed that the project would provide a home for their community. Currently, the church is operating out of shipping containers and storage sheds.
Other speakers for the church said it will serve the community amidst a mental health crisis. Some were in support of the church, but not the location it wishes to inhabit.
“We were impressed with the drawings and the plans for a beautiful building,” said Carter Morgan, a Goleta homeowner. “Just not in this location.”

Year One at Seimandi & Leprieur
OPENING THEIR DOORS ONE YEAR AGO, Seimandi & Leprieur is presenting Year One, a group exhibition celebrating its inaugural season and the vision guiding the gallery since July 2025: to present outstanding contemporary art while fostering dialogue between local and international artistic communities.
“Rather than a retrospective, Year One proposes a moment of continuity and transition, reflecting on the gallery’s first year while looking ahead to its future. It celebrates the artists, collectors, and audiences who have shaped its early trajectory and reaffirms its commitment to presenting compelling contemporary voices from California and beyond,” commented curator and owner Fanny Seimandi, in the gallery announcement. The exhibition, July 2nd to August 30th, includes an opening reception on 1st Thursday, July 2nd, from 5pm to 8pm.
Featured in the exhibition are Conjuring Rain 5 and 6 by acclaimed California artist Mary Heebner, recently returned from three years at the residence of the United States Ambassador in Helsinki, Finland. These works embody the dialogue between local and international perspectives that has shaped the gallery’s curatorial direction from the outset.
The exhibition also includes Smoke & Fire by George Legrady, internationally renowned media artist and distinguished professor in UC Santa Barbara’s Media Arts & Technology program. A pioneer in digital and media art, Legrady contributes a work that reflects his ongoing exploration of perception, technology, and visual culture.
Since its opening, the gallery has developed a program bringing together emerging and internationally established artists, building connections between the Santa Barbara art scene and a wider global context. Bringing together artists from their first five exhibitions, YEAR ONE celebrates both continuity and discovery, revisiting works that have shaped our program while unveiling new pieces by many of the artists who have accompanied us since the beginning.
