Santa Barbara News-Press: August 26, 2022 by Santa Barbara News-Press

By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE (The Center Square) – California lawmakers quietly killed a bill this month that would have offered property tax exemptions for 100% disabled veterans, leaving some former service members to weigh whether or not they can afford to stay in the Golden State. Senate Bill 1357 would have offered property tax exemptions on the home of a 100% disabled veteran and their spouse or unmarried surviving spouse. The measure was a victim of the Suspense File, a bi-annual process where lawmakers review hundreds of fiscal bills and quietly kill or forward off measures without public discussion. The measure would have represented a significant change to the state’s existing property tax exemption for disabled veterans, which currently allows an exemption in the amount equal to the value of the property up to $100,000, adjusted for inflation. If household income is under $40,000, the exemption is increased to $150,000. The full tax exemption would have exclusively applied to 100% disabled veterans who own a home in California. In total, just over 73,000 veterans who had a 100% service-connected disability rating lived in California, according to data from the U.S. Department of Veterans disabled veterans weigh future after defeat of property tax aid legislation

Haskell’s Beach oil pier removal to begin

“As news of H.E.L.P. spread, an undisclosed group suddenly reached out to Michael Baker to complain that he was partnering with me. Why? I don’t know for sure. Nor do I know the specific complaints or even the complainers.“Mr.Baker chose not to share the accusations or the names of my accusers with me. How could I address their concerns if everything was kept hidden from me? I offered to host a public meeting so that anyone could ask questions, but Mr. Baker refused.“Cancel culture runs very deep in Santa Barbara,” she said. “It is sustained by self-righteous cowards and all those timid souls who bow to them. If we are ever to get serious about educating lowincome Hispanic families and welcome them as equal partners in the American Dream, we first need to have the courage to overcome both cowardice and ignorance, rather than to submit to Theit.”

“In April 2022, I met with and received a verbal agreement from United Boys and Girls Club executive director, Mr. Michael Baker, where he graciously offered to let me use ‘of any of the clubs to launch learning pods,” she said. “It was a near perfect match, Honest Education Learning Project, H.E.L.P. could use United Boys and Girls Club’s wonderful facilities during the day and, in exchange, support UB&G Club kids and help grow UB&G’s membership base.

The end of an era begins on Monday at Haskell’s Beach, as the State Lands Commission in collaboration with the city of Goleta starts work to remove the pier and caisson structures known as PRC 421-1 and 421-2. It’s a process that will take up to six months, during which time sections of the beach may close temporarily to keep the public safe during the operations. The beach will remain open otherwise. This decommissioninglandmark project marks the end of the Ellwood Oil Field that began production in the late 1920s and continued into the 1990s. At one time, the area off Haskell’s Beach hosted 13 large piers and significant oil storage and processing facilities immediately onshore, a latticework of oil and gas development.

The head of the United Boys and Girls Club of Santa Barbara County is embroiled in a dispute with the founder of the new Honest Education Learning Project.Thedispute follows the Boys and Girls Club’s rejection of the Learning Project’s request to share facilities, a decision which Christy Lozano, the Learning Project’s founder, blames on the “cancelHowever,culture.”Michael Baker, chief executive officer of United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County, said the two groups sharing classroom and facility space was simply “not a good fit” for his “UBGCorganization.supportsall schools and organizations that provide educational opportunities and enrichment for youth in our community and has carefully considered the request by Honest Education Learning Project, LLC (“HELP”) for shared classroom and facilities usage,” he said in a news“UBGCrelease.has determined that this is not a good fit for UBGC, and UBGC will continue to focus and dedicate its resources to provide afterschool and weekend opportunities and enrichment for underserved youth in our community to make the greatest impact“UBGCpossible.wishes all the greatest success to HELP, SB School District and any other school or organization that provides educational opportunitiesenrichmenttotheyouth of our community.”Ms.Lozano, responding to Mr. Baker’s statement, said it’s a bit more complicated than that.

- Katherine Zehnder Affairs. California’s total veteran population tops 1.8 million, according to Census data. The bill’s author, Sen. Bob Archuleta, a veteran himself and chair of the Senate Military Veterans Committee, told The Center Square that lawmakers held the bill in the Suspense File due to the fiscal cost. According to a bill analysis, SB 1357 was likely to result in property tax revenue loss “in excess of $33.2 million” that would be split evenly between local taxing bodies and the state’s general fund. “I knew [the cost] was going to be an obstacle, but I didn’t realize that it would actually stop the bill from getting out of appropriations,” Sen. Archuleta, D-Pico Rivera, said. Disabled veterans from across the state threw their support behind this measure as it wove through the Legislature, believing that if it passed, it would offer some relief from the high cost of homeownership and give some incentive to continue to live in California.“Wegothundreds upon hundreds of phone calls from veterans, not just in California, but actually outside of California, from places like Florida, Texas, Arizona, [saying] they want to come back into California because the cost of living would be adjusted somewhat, and if they didn’t have to pay property tax as as disabled veterans, they would be able to come back,” Sen. Archuleta said. Several other states, including Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Maryland and Texas, already offer complete property tax exemptions for 100% disabled veterans. Without the exemption available in the Golden State, disabled veterans say they are considering moving out of California to somewhere more affordable.“Thingsaren’t exactly getting better in the state of California financially and it’s very expensive to live here,” Michael Barrett, a retired Marine and 100% disabled veteran who lives in Rancho Santa Margarita, told The Center Square. “Being a homeowner in the state of California is extremely expensive to Ifmaintain.”thisbillhad passed, Mr. Barrett said it would have “solidified” his reason for staying in“MyselfCalifornia.and all my buddies, we’re still having conversations to date – even as early as last night with my own wife – about potentially leaving California,” he added.Mr.Barrett said he and his family love California and do not want to leave, but each day it’s getting “harder and harder each day to maintain that dream of living, fully retiring and staying in California.”Torrance Chaplin, another 100% disabled veteran, told The Center Square that if SB 1357 had passed, it would have likely saved him over $10,000 a year in taxes.Inhis work as a financial broker, Mr. Chaplin has several clients who would have qualified for the exemption and were considering putting off moves to other states with full exemptions if SB 1357 passed. “That was one of the biggest deciding factors for one of my clients that actually told me about the bill,” the San Diego resident said. “He was actually in the process of looking into moving to Texas because of that and then when he found out about the bill, he kind of canceled his plan, saying ‘okay, I’m gonna sit tight in California.’”Mr.Chaplin lamented the bill’s defeat, questioning the state’s interest in putting more money toward measures like expanding the film and TV tax credit when “those guys are making money for the most part.” With the legislative session set to wrap up on Aug. 31, Sen. Archuleta said it’s too late to advance a similar proposal this year, but he hopes to introduce a similar bill in the future. To give the proposal a better chance of getting passed through the Legislature next time, Sen. Archuleta said it’s going to take educating more committee members on the effect of “making [veterans] feel part of this nation, part of this state of California, that they’re appreciated and recognized.”“OurCalifornia veterans are struggling with a high cost of housing, as well as anyone else, and so we’ve got to do more to bring our veterans back and keep our veterans here in California,” Sen. Archuleta said. Mr. Barrett and Mr. Chaplin both said they and other disabled veterans would be in support of a similar bill in a future legislative session but noted that the pull to move to other states that already offer the exemption is strong. “Other states seem to value and honor that service and sacrifice,” Mr. Barrett said. “That’s the exact terminology that I’ve heard time and time again here – there’s not a sense of appreciation for those that have endured protecting our nation’s freedom here in the state of California.”

On Thursday, Governor Gavin Newsom’s administration released a proposal to ensure the state can meet its climate and clean energy goals while maintaining a reliable power supply for all Californians. Carbon Free California released the following statement in support of Gov. Newsom’s proposal: “We applaud the Newsom administration for developing a plan to maintain reliable, carbon-free energy at Diablo Canyon. Utilizing Diablo Canyon in tandem with a comprehensive, aggressive renewable energy strategy will help California fight climate change and meet its clean energy goals more quickly, more reliably and at a lower cost to Californians.”

The commission prepared an Environmental Impact Report and secured permits for this project in collaboration with federal, state and local agencies. More information can be found at: ceqa/prc-421-decommissioning-project.www.slc.ca.gov/ email: kzehnder@newspress.com

“These two derelict structures represent the last vestiges of pier-based oil and gas production in California and their removal is a major milestone for the region and the state,” Betty T. Yee, State Controller and State Lands Commission chair said in a press release. “Removal of these piers is one of several decommissioning projects the commission is spearheading as part of California’s transition to a fossil fuel-free future.” “This is a truly momentous occasion,” Mayor Paula Perotte said in a press release. “This project, the culmination of a multi-year partnership between Goleta and the state, will remove two blighted and derelict structures marring our beautiful coastline. Their removal is a major step in ending a legacy of fossil fuel development in Santa Barbara County.”Crews will work Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. starting next Monday and for the duration of the project. Due to the surf zone location of the facilities, some work must be scheduled around low-tide cycles, which may be outside of these hours. The project requires the use of heavy equipment at the worksite and the transport of approximately 500 truckloads of material to an approved recycling and disposal facility. Crews will access the worksite via the existing gravel access road adjacent to the Ellwood Onshore Facility and along a 12’-wide easement across the Sandpiper golf course and along the cliff to the piers. Removal of the piers and caissons will require equipment access along the beach during low tides.

The City of Santa Barbara collected $3.97 million in transient occupancy taxes (TOT) for July 2022. TOT revenues in July 2022 were about 19.5 percent above the monthly budget, mainly due to higher average daily rates and strong seasonal demand for rooms.Thecity has collected $3.97 million through July, the first month in the city’s fiscal year. The city’s adopted TOT budget for all funds is $28.3 million, of which $23.6 million is budgeted in the General Fund. The City’s TOT tax rate is 12 percent, of which 10 percent goes to the city’s General Fund and the remaining 2 percent goes to the Creeks/Clean Water Fund.

“The city strives for transparency and accountability in its operations, and community input is vital to make those efforts successful,” Barbara Andersen, Senior Assistant to the City Administrator said in a press release. “It is critically important that we hear from you during this stage of the process and throughout the implementation of the new civilian oversight system.” The draft ordinance elevates and assigns new duties of police oversight to the long-standing five-member Fire & Police Commission. Among its new duties, the commission will be receiving reports with data on the number and type of internal and external complaints received and subsequent action taken, including the number of officers disciplined and the level of discipline imposed. The commission will also review and discuss with the chief of police, in open session, individual investigations when they become disclosable under the California Public Records Act.Moreover, the commission will receive presentations from the chief of police concerning any officer involved shootings once determinations of findings have been made by the agency conducting such anTheinvestigation.draftordinance also prioritizes community participation and engagement as a key component of

Perotte: ‘This is a truly momentous occasion’

The city of Santa Barbara is seeking feedback on a draft ordinance that will guide its efforts in implementing a new civilian oversight system of the police department. The ordinance is described as an important step towards further strengthening accountability and transparency. This is a historical effort and the city’s first collaboration with the community on police oversight.

One of the largest animal shelters in the US, The Miami-Dade County Animal Services, provides care and refuge for over 30,000 abandoned and relinquished dogs and cats each year. At the shelter we meet Flora Beal who explains the work the shelter does to accommodate this large volume of pets and the myriad services that are offered. We also meet two police officers, Officer Munoz and Officer Comas along with their rescued dogs that work with them daily. This program of training and working with rescue dogs is new but has already been very successful from therapy work to police activities. Today more dogs are being rescued from Miami-Dade County Animal Services for this kind of work. In Palm Beach County we meet Deanna Andrews who has launched a unique pet transportation business called The Pet Taxi. These customized vans are specifically outfitted to safely transport pets to veterinarian, grooming or other appointments by professional animal caregivers. Already a big success in Florida, The Pet Taxi is also in Chicago and opening in other locations soon.

RECORD

PAGELife

From left, Libby Costello, Adrienne Smith, Sophia Denison-Johnston and Brooke Downes worked together to break the record.

In September of 2021, Ms. Smith decided that she was going to join the rowing team. The team had three people and they were looking for a fourth. Ms Smith found out about the opportunity through her husband, who was hired by the team to be the strength and conditioning coach. “I got to know the team virtually in October and we met for the first time as a team in November,” Ms. Smith told the News-Press. “At the time, my daughter was 4 and I had not taken on anything that was new and exciting to me in over 4 years. I often reminisced about when I first started doing triathlons in 2007 and how I woke up everyday excited about getting after my goals or when I first opened my yoga studio, Power of Your Om, in Santa Barbara in 2011 and was stoked about creating new workshops and programs. I knew that I was capable of feeling excited about life again but I was lost in the day to day of serving my family first and forgot that my vitality mattered too.” Ms. Smith told the NewsPress that she started training in October of 2021, but had never rowed or trained for rowing prior to “Tothis.be honest, I have now given back the rowing machines that were loaned to me and I have zero desire to ever row again unless it’s part of a group workout or if my teammates from this adventure invite me to do a workout with them at the gym. It bonded us for life and I would get on a rowing machine to hang out with them any day,” Ms. Smith told the NewsPress in an email. “The team before us was the Ocean Sheroes, who broke SB business owner Adrienne Smith helps break Guiness world record for all female rowing crew

Tom Blabey named CFO/ COO at MOXI, The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation

Recognizing that leaks can be a major water-waster, the Montecito Water District recently checked every customer’s meter for the faucet icon that indicates a potential leak on the property. More than 800 faucet icons were identified, and the district has mailed notices to these customers so that they are aware of their potential water waste. The district is asking all customers to do everything they can to monitor for leaks and to make any needed repairs right away.Customers frequently ask about the status of the “smart meter” program. The district has installed new meters, but the “smart” part that will provide real-time data has been delayed due to the global shortage of semiconductor chips. When fully functional, the new meters will provide benefits such as leak alerts when out-ofthe ordinary use is detected and customer access to their usage data.Inthe meantime, the district continues to read meters manually and encourages customers to do the same. Weekly meter checks are a great way for customers to track usage and can help with early leak detection.

RECORD

the previous world record by two weeks. Three of the team members weren’t rowers, but they had an incredible amount of experience in the open ocean. Our team did not. We broke their record by a full day. These ladies are stewards of positivity and possibility and supported us in our preparation before we left. We talked about their professionalism, candor and character everyday of our training,” said Ms. Smith. The News-Press asked Ms. Smith how it felt to have achieved this accomplishment: “Surreal. It felt surreal while we were doing it, the moment we landed and it still does a month later. I cannot believe that I was in the middle of the ocean for over a month, that I got over some of my fears of the ocean, and that I managed to put on cold, wet clothes for days on end. I like my comfortable bed, love hot showers and having clean hair.”Ms. Smith spoke about how it felt to be reunited with her husband. “It felt comforting, exciting and proud. I like to relate things to other times (if you haven’t already noticed). It felt like the beginning of our relationship again. I can close my eyes and remember what it felt like when we started dating and when I landed, I was brought back to those days. All the complexity and responsibility of daily life washed away and we were simply happy to beMs.together.”Smithalso owns her own yoga studio Power of Your Om, in Santa Barbara. The News-Press asked Ms. Smith about her new goals for her studio after having completed this accomplishment: “The team aspect of this ocean crossing has helped shift my perspective on my business. I’ve been doing a lot in a silo, on my own and I don’t want to do that anymore. I am focusing on doing more of what I love with people that I love to be with - so collaborations, connection and just“Nobodyfun! needs to cross an ocean to live their best life. I didn’t need to either. My life, and my team’s life depended on me being prepared for this expedition so I committed to every part of it. This metaphor for life is not lost on me as you can tell. The detailed, deliberate and intentional preparation and our continual communication made this so successful and easy as a result,” said Ms. Smith.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

— Anne Frank

By FRANK STEWART Tribune Content Agency

Thought for Today

CAPRICORN — Things will be extremely light and airy today, Capricorn. You may find that people are a bit less sensitive than you. Moving out of your comfort zone is the key to growth. Don’t hesitate to move into the unknown. You can achieve a greater sense of balance between yourself and your environment if you’re open to change and accept it.

SCORPIO — The time has come for you to be more flexible in your approach, Scorpio. Things are changing quickly, and if you aren’t prepared to change with them, you’ll be left behind. Be aware of the fluctuating atmosphere around you and be prepared to make the necessary internal adjustments that help you fit in better with the external environment.

Fill in the grid so every row, every column and every 3-by-3 grid contains the digits 1 through 9. that means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box. Sudoku puzzles appear on the Diversions page Monday-Saturday and on the crossword solutions page in Sunday’s Life section.

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

How to play Codeword

PISCES — The key for you today is to not take things too seriously, Pisces. You’ll find that the more you deliberate over a decision, the harder it will be for you to make. You may miss your opportunity while you’re weighing the facts. Be spontaneous. Try something you’ve never tried before. Vary your experiences so things don’t get boring. Variety is the spice of life.

LIBRA — Someone has just turned the fan up high, Libra. There’s no lack of air to fuel your fire. Information is flying left and right and there’s a lot of opportunity associated with it. To take advantage of this powerful day, keep the air circulating around you. Stretch and take deep, powerful breaths to enhance your nervous system and make the best use of this energy.

— This is a terrific day for you, Aries, and you’ll find that long-term trends are moving in your favor. Your sense of discipline combined with a little bit of luck is setting the stage for you to perform. The audience is waiting anxiously, and you have a great deal of humor, knowledge, and happiness to share.

VIRGO — Find comfort in the people around you today, Virgo. Try not to take things too seriously. Don’t feel like you need to internalize everyone else’s problems. Take a step back from any situation that doesn’t seem right to you. You may find conversation with new people to be extremely stimulating and rewarding. Keep your guard up, but don’t let it block you from new experiences.

CANCER — There’s a lighthearted, whimsical quality about the day that you might not appreciate at first, Cancer. You’ll find that the more open and accepting you are of this energy, the more you can make it work positively for you. Use this feeling to balance the seriousness in your day. Don’t get caught up in unnecessary drama that has nothing to do with your situation.
