Sales Tax and TOT Revenues Rise On New Wave of Visitors

I

NCREASED BUSINESS, RISING ROOM RATES, AND AN INFLUX OF VISITORS have resulted in extra revenue from both Sales Tax and Transient Occupancy Tax in Santa Barbara.

Daily room rates rose by about 39 percent and paired with an increase of visitors has created a significant rise in Transient Occupancy Tax revenue totaling $14.8 million in the first five months of the city’s fiscal year. The city’s TOT budget for the entire year is $23.4 million.

Sales tax revenues jumped 23 percent over last year in Santa Barbara with $7.3 million received in the first three months of the fiscal year.

“The increase is largely due to improved economic activity since last year, when the pandemic was at its peak,” according to an announcement release by the city finance department. Also noted as causes for the increased revenue were deferred sales taxes, online sales, and higher inflation. The sales tax revenue budget for the fiscal year is $23.2 million.

Community Members Encouraged to Volunteer for 2022 Point in Time Count

S

EARCHING FOR A WAY TO HELP INFORM YOUR COMMUNITY? Volunteers are needed for the 2022 Point in Time Count, taking place throughout Santa Barbara County between 5:30am and 8:30am on Wednesday, January 26th. This annual effort provides a snapshot census of people experiencing homelessness, which will be used to plan local homeless assistance systems, funding, and promote public awareness.

Teams of volunteers will follow assigned routes to document individuals experiencing homelessness. To support health and safety, volunteers are encouraged to sign up in teams with individuals they already interact with and will be required to wear face masks. Virtual volunteer trainings are being held this month.

At-Home COVID-19 Test Kits to be Distributed to Local Public Schools

I

N AN IMPORTANT STEP TOWARD PROTECTING LOCAL STUDENTS’ HEALTH, the state of California has delivered 56,700 COVID-19 test kits to the Santa Barbara County Education Office for countywide distribution.

Going forward, every area public school student attending TK through the 12th grade will receive a kit including iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Tests that can be administered at home.

“We have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of our allotment of at-home test kits. They provide needed relief to our students and families and are a critical tool for helping our schools mitigate the spread of the virus,” said Dr. Susan Salcido, Santa Barbara County Superintendent of Schools. “We greatly appreciate this and any support our schools receive that helps keep our students, staff, and families safe and healthy.”

This test kit distribution is made possible for TK-12 public school students through a program announced last month by Governor Newsom in response to the rising levels of the Omicron variant. Six million at-home COVID-19 test kits were ordered by the state last month, with free kits to be distributed through the state’s county education offices. Childcare centers and preschools have also received information regarding how they can request free test kits from the CA State COVID-19 Testing Task Force.

Santa Barbara County students will receive two tests per pack. Using a nasal swab, students will be able to receive their COVID-19 test results within 15 minutes. Local school districts are coordinating distribution, and SBCEO is currently seeking additional tests for school employees, private schools, and preschools, as well as future test kit deliveries.

By Robert F. Adams, Special to VOICE

N AMUSING, WELL-TOLD, FILM released at year’s end, director-screenwriter Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza is one of the most enjoyable and seriously off-beat films of the past several years. Known for his unpredictable character studies over many years including Boogie Nights, Magnolia, There Will be Blood, Inherent Vice, and Phantom Thread, Anderson makes a movie every several years and most have gained positive critical attention from moviegoers and critics alike. Licorice Pizza is honest, exuberant, and mischievous throughout most of the two hours-plus run time.

This Jewish coming-of-age film is also an effective rom-com as the director-screenwriter mines his upbringing and pals from his youth in San Fernando Valley in the early 1970s. This is a place where teenagers ruled and the screenplay is filled with their wacky

misadventures. Older adults are nowhere in sight unless they are sleazeball business owners on the prowl or figures on the periphery of the Hollywood film and television industry.

Teens and young adults are rambling seekers of adventure, all authentic to the specific time period in California culture. The story is a collection of episodes and the director has a succinct way of editing and leaping from one situation to another. Anderson explores a way of film storytelling that does not over-explain scenes, asking the audience to fill in the blanks.

This is a film in which the parts are more realized than the whole.

With scenes and classic editing techniques, especially a backward run of a waterbed truck downward through the nighttime streets of Encino, it happily echoes Harold Lloyd films of the 1920s silent era, as well nodding to stories such as Mike Nichol’s The Graduate from 1967. The film also has a wealth of 1970s film

references including the Autumn-Spring love story, Breezy, starring Kay Lenz and William Holden and directed by Clint Eastwood. There are comparisons that could be made to Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, but this film seems much more authentically felt, with an atmosphere that is indelibly Californian. The film is a movie aficionado’s minefield and also includes parallels to Warren Beatty in Shampoo, and Barbra Streisand in her mid-seventies remake of A Star is Born.

The films features the successful acting debuts of Alana Haim, who is a key member of the rock group Haim, and Cooper Hoffman, the son of the late Oscar winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. Alana plays an older twenty-something young adult, disillusioned and searching for excitement in her life.

Cooper plays an enterprising 15 year old, full of entrepreneurial schemes, who retains an overly-confident life view. They are both

misfits and their scenes have a chemistry that fuels delightful moments. Throughout, they encounter outlandishly maniacal characters, which is a hallmark of this director's films.

Some of the cameos include actor Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook) in a wild take on real-life producer Jon Peters. Other surprising appearances include Sean Penn playing a fictional version of actor William Holden in an alcoholic career decline, Tom Waits as coke-addled film director, film director Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems) as an awkwardly gay politician, Maya Rudolf as a perplexed film assistant, Christine Ebersole as a mega-diva version of Lucille Ball, and Harriet Sansom Harris as a hilariously monstrous casting agent.

Paul Thomas Anderson has written a gallery filled with quirky and memorable characters.

The movie was awarded top recognition at the National Board of Review as well as being included on many year-end top ten film lists including the AFI Best Picture awards. The screenplay is bound to be recognized as well.

Lead actress Alana Haim will be one of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival’s deserved Virtuosos, in a presentation set for March 5th. Licorice Pizza can be seen locally at theatres and is likely the most effective comedy released this cinema year. n Robert F. Adams, a Santa Barbara landscape architect, is a graduate of UCLA’s School of Theatre and Film, as well as Cal Poly.

Sounds About Town

Sustaining Musical Interests and Bluegrassy Highs

L

By Josef Woodard / VOICE

AST SUNDAY’S New York Times Arts & Leisure section sported an unusual and fascinating matrix of short musical opinion blurbs on the subject of classical music miniatures. Headlined “Pieces of Joy, 5 Minutes Long, a quick-start guide to failing in love with classical music,” the four-page spread included pithy recommendations from the varied likes of Yo-Yo Ma, Wynton Marsalis, Wadada Leo Smith, Rene Fleming, Rufus Wainwright, and many others across sundry musical landscapes.

Not at all surprisingly, the mix also included the genre-exploding mandolin wizard and all-purpose music advocate Chris Thile, who used his compact space to extoll the virtues of Andrew Norman’s mesmeric orchestral piece Sustain, premiered (and recorded) by the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Thile calls it “a gracefully eerie orchestral nocturne for the summer of 2020 if ever there was one.”

He ought to know. Thile, after all, is the hard-to-pigeonhole progressive bluegrass ace—in bands such as Nickel Creek and the mighty Punch Brothers, coming to UCSB’s Campbell Hall on Tuesday—who also covered the eclectic music waterfront on his toobrief stint as host of public radio’s “Live from Here.” His avowed love of Bach led him to record and continue to perform that august body of work, including at a CAMA-hosted recital at the Lobero in 2014.

Tuesday’s return of the Punch boys, the first major concert in this portion of UCSB Arts & Lectures’ 2021-22 season, is cause for celebration, and the latest in a thankfully long and continuing series of Thile sightings in the 805. The distinctive acoustic band, with Thile joined by virtuosic players Gabe Witcher on fiddle, Chris Eldridge on guitar, bassist Paul Kowert, and banjoist Noam Pikelny, has memorably alighted the Lobero Theater stage, as has Thile in settings going back to salad days with Nickel Creek (with their ally and Santa Barbara’s own Glen Philips sitting in).

Thile has gone on to show up at Campbell Hall (including the very night before the tragic Montecito debris flow four years ago), and as one of the finer streamed-fromhome concertizers in last year’s A&L series of remote shows. But the Punch Brothers is something special in Thile’s constellation of creative ventures, an outlet for his literate songwriting and a chance to conjure up some of the boldest versions yet of the oddfellow merging of bluegrass, classical, jazz, and more.

Join UCSB Arts & Lectures as they present Punch Brothers on Tuesday, January 18th at 8pm at Campbell Hall. This event also includes an at-home viewing option (live stream only; no replay).

Traditionalist musical values are tucked into the britches of this band, however far or fancy they venture into more progressive and experimental zones. The band name itself is filched from Mark Twain’s short story Punch, Brothers, Punch! The band’s allegiance to more recent developments in new-grass – in synch with the all-star cast of the “My Bluegrass Heart” road show which stopped at the Arlington Theatre in December – is reflected in the very concept of its new album, Hell on Church Street. It is an affectionate tribute to the late, great guitarist Tony Rice, who passed on Christmas day, 2020, in the form of a reworking of Rice’s classic 1983 album Church Street Blues.

To prepare for Tuesday’s concert, it might be wise to check out the new Punch album, double back to the original Rice album and, oh, set aside 33 minutes to bask in the mysterious presence of Andrew Norman’s Sustain, for good eclectic measure.

NEW MUSICAL FANDANGO: Speaking of Los Angeles Philharmonic premieres, this weekend’s first Santa Barbara Symphony concert of the new year taps into some very new music with its featured piece, Albert Marquez’ Fandango, premiered by the LA Phil at the Hollywood Bowl last summer and a spotlight for the immaculate talents of violinist Anne Akiko Meyers.

Akiko Meyers, who has family in Santa Barbara and lives in Los Angeles with her own family, is returning as soloist with the SBS at a ripe time in her storied career.

Also on the program are other Mexican and Latin American works, including Marquez’ Danzon No. 2, reminding us of the symphony’s tenure in the era of Latin American music specialist Gisele Ben-Dor, before Nir Kabaretti settled in as resident maestro and game-changer.

Outwitting Omicron Graduate student Zach Aralis develops a rapid test for the COVID-19 Omicron variant

S

By Sonia Fernandez / The UC Santa Barbara Current

PEED IS EVERYTHING in the race against COVID-19’s Omicron variant, the fastest version of the virus we’ve seen to date. Its dizzying rise to dominance in the United States threatens to overwhelm our already beleaguered healthcare system, as physicians across the country grapple with how to treat their mounting caseloads.

But a new lab test developed by UC Santa Barbara doctoral student Zach Aralis has been giving local Santa Barbara County hospitals and clinics a boost in their efforts to get ahead of Omicron, and it could serve as a template for defense against future major COVID variants.

“With Omicron coming upon us with such rapidity, it is essential that we be able to distinguish the Delta variant from the Omicron variant,” said Stuart Feinstein, a UC Santa Barbara professor of molecular biology, UC Santa Barbara COVID-19 Response Team coordinator, and member of the Local Variant Task Team — a collaboration between the university, local healthcare providers, and the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department formed to monitor for new and possibly dangerous versions of the SARSCoV-2 virus. “Although they both cause COVID-19, Delta and Omicron are quite different clinically and in key molecular details that can be correlated Zach Aralis with clinical and public health information,” he said.

These differences and details are responsible for the combination of Omicron’s heightened transmissibility and increased ability to infect even those who have previously had COVID or have been vaccinated. But they also hold clues to treatment.

“There are currently three monoclonal antibody options for treatment against the SARS-CoV-2 virus,” said Cottage Health infectious disease specialist (and UCSB alum) Dr. Lynn Fitzgibbons. The treatments, used to head off severe disease in high-risk patients, are a large part of the reason why last year’s Delta surge did not hit the Santa Barbara region as hard as it did others, she explained.

Stuart Feinstein This time around however, only one of the three, Sotrovimab, proved to be effective against the Omicron variant. Treating an Omicron infection with any of the other COVID- specific monoclonal antibodies would be “like shooting blanks,” while unnecessarily exposing patients to side effects and allergic reactions, Dr. Fitzgibbons said.

But in the incoming rush of new COVID patients, there was no way to quickly tell who had the Omicron variant versus Delta or any of the previous major variants, she said. Genomic sequencing took weeks to return results. This was the frustration shared by members of the Task Team in late December, as caseloads began their steep climb.

“The big unknown through that third week of December was how Dr. Lynn Fitzgibbons many cases across our state, across our region, and across our community were actually Omicron,” Dr. Fitzgibbons said. Data from the State of California’s variant assessment program was weeks behind. To compound the problem, Sotrovimab had become scarce, making it even more crucial that the right therapy went to the right person.

Feinstein, meanwhile, searched high and low for a commercially available test and came up empty-handed. “This virus is so new that no company has yet been able to develop and offer a test,” he said. “We came to the conclusion that we’d have to make it ourselves.”

The task fell to Aralis, a graduate student in in the molecular biology lab of Professor Carolina Arias, who for the last two years, among many other COVID-related efforts, has been sequencing samples at the UCSB CLIA-licensed lab as part of the campus community’s variant monitoring program.

“I just started right away,” said Aralis, who got to work over the holiday break. Guided by Arias, he designed nucleotide primers at his parents’ house, put in orders for reagents amid Christmas festivities, and received deliveries at his apartment because the campus was closed.

It was no small feat. Aralis had to design a test from scratch that could pick up key features that only Omicron had, such as the genetic sequences that underlie the variant’s significant number of mutations.

“We knew what the genome looked like for Delta and all of the other variants because of the vast amount of data,” he said. Thanks to the collaboration with the local healthcare providers as well as SBCPHD, he also had access to the new Omicron genome.

“The key was to look at these different genomes and compare them to see where there are multiple, significant mutations that would enable the primers to bind to different variants differentially,” he said. If these key sections of viral genetic material are present, the custom-made primers (synthesized commercially) would bind to them, initiating a process that exponentially multiplies this genetic material until millions to billions of target DNA strands are present and detectable by fluorescent probes.

A couple days of long hours after he started, Aralis had an assay to put to work, just after the New Year.

“Zach really took the bull by the horns,” Feinstein said of a test that can deliver results “in a few

January 14, 2022

hours,” as opposed to the weeks required for genetic sequencing results.

The assay, which is still in the early stages of refinement and optimization, has already proven useful, first by identifying seven of nine test samples as positive for Omicron, and later confirming 25 positive Omicron cases out of 28 samples provided by County Public Health and Pacific Diagnostic Laboratories. Though the state’s data had not shown it at the time, the results indicated that Omicron had already gained a foothold in the community.

“We clinicians have been making our best guesses based on indirect evidence and theory, and doing the very best we can,” Dr. Fitzgibbons said, describing the decisions she and Cottage Health colleague Dr. David Fisk had to make about monoclonal antibody treatments. “But Zach gave us an anchor and the knowledge that we needed.” Thanks to the new assay, she added, local physicians who had been wondering if they should use the other two more readily available monoclonal antibody treatments, REGEN-COV and BAMETE, had increasing confidence to forgo them. “They would have been just a placebo, now that Omicron cases are really increasing,” Dr. Fitzgibbons said.

Aralis has additional plans for his assay. On top of extra improvements in accuracy and sensitivity, he is working to further streamline the process to shave off a couple more hours from the workflow.

And the work goes beyond Omicron.

“This is now a template,” Feinstein said. “This could be used as a starting point for the next problematic variant that comes along.”

For now, it’s a matter of getting through the surge, one that could have a similar impact as the surge last winter. Even if the Omicron variant is milder than previous variants with a smaller percentage of infected people likely to have severe disease, the sheer number of infections, Dr. Fitzgibbons said, could create “a tremendous strain on schools, hospitals, and other critical infrastructure sectors.” Lately, SBCPHD has been reporting record numbers of daily COVID cases.

Aralis, meanwhile, remains poised and ready to jump into the next phase of the arms race between virus and human.

“We’ve got a kind of pipeline for doing this now if a new, aggressive variant appears,” Aralis added. He thinks nothing of the sleep he might have to lose or the holidays he might miss.

“I don’t mind working long hours if I love what I do,” he said.

HAT CAN WE LEARN FROM NEAR-DEATH AND SHARED DEATH EXPERIENCES? This question drives Santa Barbara-based author William Peters’ newest book, At Heaven’s Door: What Shared Journeys to the Afterlife Teach About Dying Well and Living Better, spanning research and personal experience. To celebrate the book’s launch, Peters will be joined by New York Times best-selling author of Proof of Heaven Eben Alexander for a free virtual conversation at 5pm, Tuesday, January 18th.

“We are living through a period of immeasurable loss. More than one in 400 Americans has died due to COVID-19, creating ripples of bereavement and loss. Death is also finding us sooner; in 2021, U.S. life expectancy fell to its lowest levels in nearly twenty years and experienced the biggest single year drop since the worst days of World War II. Not only are we unable to outrun death, we cannot even keep it at bay,” said Peters.

“I hope these stories from ordinary people William Peters just like you and me will provide solace for those of you who may fear death, and inspiration for those of you who want to cross this great divide with confidence and courage.”

An experienced end-of-life expert and grief and bereavement therapist, Peters embarked on his journey to write At Heaven’s Door following an experience volunteering at the Zen Hospice Project in San Francisco 20 years ago. While reading aloud to a patient, Peters felt himself floating out of his body. The patient also floated, but while Peters returned to his body, the patient did not regain consciousness before dying. This pushed Peters to search for answers and people who had similar experiences.

N HONOR OF THEIR COMMITMENT TO SAVING WATER AND SUSTAINABILITY, Santa Barbara Middle School has been presented with the 2021 Water Hero Award by the City of Santa Barbara Water Conservation Program. By receiving this award, SB Middle School has proven itself as a positive example that highlights the value of resource efficiency and outstanding water conservation practices.

“What’s rewarding is the drive here and to see kids doing projects, kids planting, kids harvesting, kids playing outside, kids climbing trees, and kids having a dialog about what we should plant next,” said Brian McWilliams, Head of One of SB Middle School’s school gardens School.

For over ten years, SB Middle School has implemented sustainable practices on its campus, including installing solar panels, following sustainable and organic landscaping practices, using reclaimed materials in art classes, establishing recycling programs for the student body, and more. The school has also implemented low-flow toilets and faucets along with a high-efficiency spray nozzle in its kitchen, allowing for water savings of 26 percent.

Most of the campus landscaping is on a separate water meter, which experienced water savings of 39 percent. This and other water-saving practices were made possible through the stewardship of the Regenerative Landscape Alliance. The school also participated in the City’s pilot of Automated Metering Infrastructure, which collects water usage data and sends service alerts so the school can identify leaks and monitor usage.

AST SUNDAY’S WINTER SUN TRANSFORMED THE OCEAN INTO A GOLDEN MIRROR AND THE HARBOR WALKWAY BASKED IN ITS GLOW. The seas and winds were calm, no doubt in honor of the newly mounted breakwater flags that highlight Santa Barbara’s generous spirit of philanthropy.

Direct Relief, as an example, is a humanitarian aid organization located in Goleta but active throughout the United States and in more than 80 countries. This organization seeks to improve lives worldwide without regard to politics, religion, or ability to pay.

The flags also represent local charities such as the Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics and Cottage Hospital, vital to our community in providing much needed health care, especially during the confusion of COVID-19’s latest surge.

Speaking about the Coronavirus pandemic, last Sunday’s sojourn revealed that some of the most iconic venues around the waterfront have once again been shuttered. The Sea Center located on Stearns Wharf has been closed until spring for several months for major structural and educational upgrades. Its parent, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, just recently closed for at least two weeks for health and safety reasons due to the re-emergence of the virus. A little further west, the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum came to the same conclusion and will also be shuttered for two weeks or longer if needed.

“Things change very quickly in this environment,” affirmed Greg Gorga, The Sea Center on Stearns Wharf is closed until the spring the museum’s director. “Having to make these kinds of decisions, whether to stay open for the crowds that continue to flood the harbor and our museum, or to close for the safety of all is like, well, yes or maybe no.”

He added, “A tough call for sure, but we did the best thing for everyone!”

Further down the harbor walkway, the Yacht Club looked lonely without the usual happy revelers sitting in the beach chairs around the Palapa Bar on the sand. Upstairs, the deck was all tables and empty chairs and the newly renovated bar and dining areas were off-limits with doors to the interior The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum is closed for locked. Although the downstairs two weeks is currently being renovated in anticipation of the club’s 150th anniversary, the upstairs has been available and is usually crowded. But not now. Better to be safe than sorry during this Omicron surge seems to be the general consensus.

Despite the confusion and uncertainty with some venues open, others not, visitors milled about enjoying the day walking on Stearns Wharf, the breakwater, and the beaches as a few boats floated calmly on the water lending to the feeling that this too shall pass.

Which brings me to the most exciting – and uplifting – news of the week. Thanks to Sarah and Roger Chrisman and despite this crazy “maybe The Santa Barbara Yacht Club’s newly renovated bar and yes, maybe no” period of time, dining areas are currently closed

The Mystic Whaler is now docked in the Channel Islands Harbor

the much anticipated arrival of the 110 foot tall ship Mystic Whaler has actually happened!

She sailed into her new home in the Channel Islands Harbor last Sunday, January 9th, and is docked in front of the Channel Islands Maritime Museum. After her long journey from the Eastern seaboard through the Panama Canal to Ensenada and finally to the South Coast, this magnificent schooner now rests comfortably in Pacific waters.

“I’m so relieved and happy to know that she’s finally here!” exclaimed Roger Chrisman. “It’s been a long journey for her and a longer process to bring her here.

Despite all the current uncertainties, the winds and weather, our masterful crew has made it happen.” He proudly added, “We hope to bring the Mystic Whaler here to Santa Barbara very soon for everyone to see how beautiful she is!”

Although my beat is the Santa Barbara harbor, I have to admit that I couldn’t wait.

On the day she arrived, camera in hand, I rushed down the coast to the Channel Islands Harbor to discover that a crowd had already gathered staring in absolute awe at the sight.

And what a sight it was! There will be more news about the Mystic Whaler very soon... so stay tuned here.

Remembering those lost...

Lives lost in 2018 Debris Flow

Our community During COVID COVID Services in Schools MCKINLEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL packed in Santa Barbara on a Saturday morning with people getting COVID services.

Remembering the 23 lives lost in the MONTECITO DEBRIS FLOW January 9, 2018.

This beam of light was in the sky over the area Sunday night and a special ceremony was held by the Montecito Fire Protection District. As it concluded, church bells rang and could be heard for miles.

Tourism & COVID HOTEL INDUSTRY waits out latest COVID impacts, but sees bookings moving towards summer at a brisk pace. Head of California Hotel & Lodging Assn. sets a positive tone after the current surge.

Snowboarding Accident Sending my support to the family of JOEY DE ANDA, and those close to him. A Santa Barbara Co. Firefighter who just died in a snowboarding accident in Fresno Co, he was on the 911 call some years back when I was in a violent rollover on Hwy 101 with a co worker. An amazing guy, and we stayed in touch. Sending prayers to all.

Downtown...

Santa Barbara’s downtown promenade could be going through DESIGN CHANGES ahead to make more room for fire trucks, allow more uses, and make space for the return of parades. A committee looks at options. A consultant will be on board to help by summer.

THE SANTA BARBARA PUBLIC MARKET, some nearby condos, and office space have sold for about $10-million. The new owners are long time local business operators and philanthropists – the Winn-Twining families.

Foggy Weather

JANUARY 7TH: The overnight fog layered Santa Barbara with three distinctive levels.

Downtown is in and out of the lights, the ocean view and Stearns Wharf is blocked by the fog and TV Hill is covered just above its peak, to the right.

Are Home Prices Moderating?

By Harlan Green / Special to VOICE

A

RE THEIR SIGNS OF A SLOWDOWN in the rise of housing prices?

CoreLogic, a real estate data provider, sees some moderation in this New Year.

“As we close 2021, housing market indicators, including S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index, suggest that the housing market will have another strong year in 2022. While the expected slowing of home price growth suggests overall, annual appreciation in 2022 will fall shorter than that of 2021, the annual average of seven percent is still higher than the average five percent seen between 2010 and 2020.”

Housing’s annual price appreciation is slowing in part because new construction is making up some of the housing shortage.

Calculated Risk reports that on a year-over-year basis, private residential construction spending is up 16.3 percent. Non-residential spending is up 6.7 percent year-over-year. Public spending is down 0.8 percent year-over-year.

This is resulting in single‐family housing starts in November to jump 11.3 percent above the revised October figure of 1,054,000.

But inventories are still at rock bottom, with unsold inventory at a 2.1-month supply in November, the lowest since January. That’s even lower than 2.3 months in the same month last year, and a four-to-six-month supply of homes for sale during more normal times.

That is making NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun cautious about affordability in the New Year. “Buyer competition alone is unrelenting, but home seekers have also had to contend with the negative impacts of supply chain disruptions and labor shortages this year,” he said. “These aspects, along with the exorbitant prices and a lack of available homes, have created a much tougher buying season.”

How long could it take for the supply of homes available to purchase catch up the demand? It depends on when more working age adults return to the workforce and

Computer Oriented RE Technology

suppply chains become unchained.

The labor shortages may improve this New Year. As a predictor of Friday’s unemployment report, private payrolls rose by 807,000 in December, according to the ADP National Employment Report released Wednesday. That’s the strongest gain since May. Service sector providers added 669,000 jobs in December. Leisure and hospitality added 246,000 workers. Meanwhile, goods producers added 138,000 jobs, the strongest gain of the year. Manufacturing added 74,000 jobs.

This could begin to improve the housing supply.

Then we must wait for the supply-chains to recover as countries ramp up production and the various trade tariffs are reduced that have driven up the cost of building materials, with lumber prices still higher than in pre-pandemic times.

“I’m very aware that my loss, although unique to me is, is a part of everyone’s lives,” shared Pryor. “I think the pandemic and my own losses have cultivated a sense of not being alone, even though there’ve been many times that I am physically very alone.”

Bearing that spirit in mind, Pryor’s exhibition provides viewers with a physical space that reminds them they are never truly alone, even when experiencing an intensely personal emotion such as grief.

“We felt that the setting — Architectural Foundation is located in a historic building, the Acheson House, which once was a dwelling place, a home, for residents of Santa Barbara — could only amplify the impact of his personal expressions of loss and tragedy,” commented AFSB Gallery Chairperson Bay Hallowell.

the gallery’s single room. Subject matters range from wilting flowers and disheveled bedsheets to abstract lines and patterns, reminding viewers of the cyclical nature of grief.

Perhaps the exhibition’s most intriguing element, however, is Pryor’s multiple sculptures of cones one may encounter at a construction site. Concrete, ceramic, fiberglass cones of varying sizes are placed outside and inside of the gallery’s yard, in addition to several drawings of cones.

As Pryor explains in his artist’s statement, his interest in cones began when he was living in Los Angeles. He began to notice a traffic cone on the highway during his daily commute and began to consider it as a familiar constant. When he experienced the loss of a family member, he felt drawn to process his grief by artistically recreating the shadow found in cones.

“Where do the shadows go from the ones whose bodies are no longer grounded?” asks Pryor in his statement. “Perhaps their shadows turn into grief and blanket the ones who mourn.

Attention to Loss is about looking at the darkness until something is given back.”

exhibitions.

“We’re a very welcoming gallery,” said Heidi. “We welcome everybody and we want people to view the art and interpret it as as they may. It’s just a nice, warm, and comforting place to come and visit.”

Situated next to the Arlington Theatre, Maune Contemporary’s spacious, minimalist interior invites viewers to fully appreciate the bold colors of its debut exhibition, which largely features paintings and prints with some sculpture. On display through April, the exhibition spans modern styles representative of the gallery’s discerning taste, including four stunning plantlife portraits from Carlos Rolon’s Hybrid Floral Study and Halim Flowers’ artistically chaotic Death to Avant Garde.

Equally compelling works await visitors deeper inside the gallery, including artist Julie Torres’ Super Diva! screenprint, depicting former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in pink judge’s robes amidst a backdrop of her most famous quotes. This work comes from Torres’ celebrated RBG series, which is now a part of the permanent collection of the Department of Drawings & Prints at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The adjacent wall carries this fun energy forward with Esteban Ocampo-Giraldo’s Piscina (Bloody Marys), depicting a whimsical poolside rendezvous.

Additional noteworthy displayed artists include Alex Katz, who will present a Retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum this year, and Kenny Sharf, a key painter involved with New York City’s East Village 1980’s interdisciplinary art scene. Ramsey and Heidi select the gallery’s featured artists by highlighting works that spark joy and other strong emotions, with represented artists ranging from individuals they have followed for years to more recent discoveries.

Gallery owners Heidi and Ramsey Maune “We are happy to be able to bring art from all around the world and all different perspectives here too,” shared Heidi.

To ensure all interested individuals have the opportunity to experience Maune Contemporary, Ramsey and Heidi will be making a virtual gallery tour available online in the coming weeks. Virtual tours of their Atlanta gallery’s exhibitions are currently posted on their website.

RIGHT POPS OF COLOR DOTTED ACROSS ABSTRACT AND REALISTIC CANVASES await State Street passersby and art collectors alike at Maune Contemporary. Recently opened by Ramsey and Heidi Maune, this new gallery has already proven itself a welcome addition to the downtown art scene. Its premiere exhibition, Finally Home, introduces the community to its style by presenting 18 contemporary artists from eight different countries.

“Our whole approach is we want to carry artists that we’d love to have in our homes, or have in our personal collection,” explained Ramsey.

Both longtime art collectors, Ramsey and Heidi embarked on their art industry careers after initially following different paths — previously, Ramsey worked in commercial real estate, while Heidi holds a corporate sales background. Over time, the couple felt compelled to merge their professional experiences with their passion for art, and opened the first Maune Contemporary gallery in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2019.

Now, following the success of their original gallery, Ramsey and Heidi have launched their second location in Santa Barbara. For Heidi, a UC Santa Barbara alumna whose parents have lived in town for over 30 years, the move marks a homecoming of sorts.

Going forward, the couple intends to actively give back to the community by participating in Downtown Santa Barbara’s monthly 1st Thursday events and hosting regular

ISMISSED BY MANY FOR HIS ECCENTRICITY, Vincent van Gogh found a lifelong supporter and confidant in his brother, Theo. It was actually Theo who initially encouraged his brother to pursue art when he failed to succeed as a preacher. In 1886, Vincent moved to Paris, where Theo acted as the manager of Goupil art dealers. In the city, the brothers bonded over the works of up-and-coming artists such as Claude Monet, in addition to Japanese woodcuts.

After Vincent left Paris, Theo continued providing him financial and emotional support. He also regularly submitted Vincent’s works to the Salon des Indépendants exhibition in Paris. When his son was born in 1890, Theo and his wife, Johanna, named him after Vincent. In response, Vincent sent one of his best remembered paintings: Almond Blossom.

CHO DE LOS MEJORES Y MÁS BRILLANTES ACTORES DE HOLLYWOOD SUBIRÁN AL ESCENARIO ESTA PRIMAVERA cuando el Festival Internacional de Cine de Santa Bárbara presente el premio Virtuosos 2022. Desde la actuación musical de Ariana DeBose en West Side Story hasta la convincente interpretación de Saniyya Sidney de Venus Williams en King Richard, el festival de este año honra el talento en todos los estilos artísticos, géneros y temas explorados.

Los actores recibirán sus premios y discutirán sus carreras durante un evento en persona el sábado, 5 de marzo.

“Los Virtuosos de este año son un grupo fenomenal e internacional que son partes integrales de las películas más emocionantes y emotivas de la temporada,” comentó en un comunicado el presentador de Turner Classic Movies, Dave Karger, quien moderará el evento de este año. “Estoy muy emocionado de reunirlos en el escenario en Santa Bárbara en marzo.”

El Premio Virtuosos está reservado para aquellas personas cuyas destacadas actuaciones les han valido un lugar en el centro de atención nacional y los diálogos cinematográficos. Los ganadores anteriores incluyen artistas ampliamente aclamados como Zendaya, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Florence Pugh, Riz Ahmed y Awkwafina.

Entre los homenajeados de este año se encuentran Caitriona Balfe y Jamie Dornan, dos estrellas de la conmovedora película sobre la mayoría de edad del director Kenneth Branagh, Belfast. A ellos se unirá otra pareja icónica de películas de 2021, Emilia Jones y Troy Kotsur por CODA, que se centra en una niña que puede oír y es hija de padres sordos. Alana Haim también será reconocida por su talentosa actuación en otra película sobre la mayoría de edad, Licorice Pizza.

La actriz Ariana DeBose será galardonada por su impresionante resurgimiento del papel de Anita en West Side Story del director Steven Spielberg. Saniyya Sidney también será honrada por interpretar a la leyenda del tenis Venus Williams en la película King Richard. Finalmente, también se entregará un premio a Simon Rex por Red Rocket, una comedia dramática que sigue a una ex estrella de cine para adultos.

El 37° Festival Internacional de Cine de Santa Bárbara se llevará a cabo en persona del 2 al 12 de marzo.

Se espera que el calendario final de eventos, proyecciones y paneles se anuncie el próximo mes.

IGHT OF HOLLYWOOD’S BEST AND BRIGHTEST WILL TAKE THE STAGE THIS SPRING as the Santa Barbara International Film Festival presents the 2022 Virtuosos Awards. From Ariana DeBose’s musical performance in West Side Story to Saniyya Sidney’s compelling portrayal of Venus Williams in King Richard, this year’s festival honors talent across artistic styles, genres, and explored themes.

The actors will receive their awards and discuss their careers during an inperson event on Saturday, March 5th.

“This year’s Virtuosos are a phenomenal and international group who are integral parts of the season’s most exciting and emotional films,” commented Turner Classic Movies host Dave Karger, who will moderate this year’s event, in a statement. “I’m so excited to gather them on stage in Santa Barbara in March.”

The Virtuosos Award is reserved for those individuals whose outstanding performances have earned them a place in the national spotlight and film dialogues. Previous recipients include widely-acclaimed performers such as Zendaya, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Florence Pugh, Riz Ahmed, and Awkwafina.

Included among this year’s honorees are Caitriona Balfe and Jamie Dornan, two stars from director Kenneth Branagh’s heartwarming coming-of-age film, Belfast. They will be joined by another iconic 2021 film pairing, Emilia Jones and Troy Kotsur for CODA, which centers on a hearing girl who is the child of deaf parents.

Alana Haim will also be recognized for her talented performance in another coming-of-age film, Licorice Pizza.

Actress Ariana DeBose will be awarded for her stunning revival of the role Anita in director Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story. Saniyya Sidney will additionally be honored for portraying tennis legend Venus Williams in the film King Richard.

Finally, an award will also be presented to Simon Rex for Red Rocket, a comedy-drama that follows a former adult film star.

The 37th Santa Barbara International Film Festival will take place in person from March 2nd through March 12th. The final schedule of events, screenings, and panels is expected to be announced next month.
