Sachs Named Distinguished Peace Leader

By Mark M. Whitehurst, PhD / VOICE

NE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL THINKERS OF OUR TIME, JEFFREY D. SACHS will be honored with the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation’s 2023 Distinguished Peace Leadership Award. The award and a speech by Sachs will take place at the 37th Annual Evening for Peace, which will be held on the rooftop of the Kimpton Canary Hotel, on Wednesday, October 18th. Prof. Sachs is University Professor and Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University and is President of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, Co-Chair of the Council of Engineers for the Energy Transition, and academician of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences at the Vatican. He has been Special Advisor to three United Nations Secretaries-General, and currently serves as an SDG Advocate under Secretary General António Guterres. Professor Sachs granted an interview with VOICE Magazine. VOICE: What are some of the elements of the relationship between poverty, sustainable development, and peace?

Dr. Sachs: Peace is a prerequisite of sustainable development and the end of poverty. Wars destroy; peace enables building. Military spending drains civilian budgets. The worldwide spending on the military is around $2.2 trillion each year. If that money were redirected towards education, healthcare, and basic infrastructure for the poor, we would end extreme poverty on the planet. Isaiah had the right approach 2,800 years ago, to beat the swords into ploughshares and the spears into pruning hooks. VOICE: What, if any, is the relationship between nuclear weapons and sustainability?

Dr. Sachs: President Kennedy said it best. “The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life.” Nuclear weapons threaten our very survival, and hence are the most urgent threat to sustainability. VOICE: How can the concept of sustainable development become a “household issue,” something everyone is concerned and talking about?

Dr. Sachs: People are already very concerned about sustainable development, even if they don’t use that term. They are concerned that they are facing intense storms, floods, droughts, and heatwaves. They are concerned that public education is wavering. They are concerned that healthcare is beyond their financial reach. They are concerned that violence is rising and wars are escalating. They are, in short, worrying intensely about the economic, social, and environmental objectives of sustainable development. Yet our national leaders don’t discuss the worldwide Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) so the American public doesn’t yet have the right reference points. We need to hear much more about the SDGs from President Biden and the Congress. VOICE: What would be a way or mechanism for all peace agencies to collaborate?

VOICE: Do the creative arts have a role to play in sustainable development?

Dr. Sachs: At the core of our wellbeing is our culture, and our creative arts therefore touch us deeply and enable us to envision the human good beyond our narrow perspectives. When world leaders listened to Beethoven’s 9th Symphony at the G20 Summit in Hamburg in 2017, they were moved to do just a bit better for the world. I watched from a nearby balcony as Donald Trump and other G20 leaders swayed to Beethoven’s Ode to Joy. It gave me hope and comfort that 200 years on, Beethoven was still helping to build a world of peace and joy.

Dr. Jeffrey D. Sachs

Dr. Sachs: The coming election campaign is a moment of truth. The US is in perpetual war, now in Ukraine. The US has 6,000 nuclear warheads. The US is spending another $600 billion or so on “modernizing” these nuclear weapons during the 2020s. The US is spending $1 trillion annually on the military. The US has more than 800 overseas military bases. It’s time for national candidates to commit to peace rather than to the military-industrial complex. Let’s elect candidates with peace platforms, not war platforms, starting with the President of the United States in November 2024.

VOICE: What role do youth play in the way forward?

Dr. Sachs: Youth know more about climate change, digital economy, AI, and alas, a world of crisis, than their elders. And they will of course live with the consequences of the actions or inactions of the coming years. We need urgently to empower young people from even early ages – even primary school – with the tools they will need to protect the environment, foster social justice, and live harmoniously in a diverse world. Prof. Sachs has spent over 20 years as a professor at Harvard University, where he received his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees. He holds 42 honorary doctorates, and his recent awards include the 2022 Tang Prize in Sustainable Development, the Legion of Honor by decree of the President of the Republic of France, and the Order of the Cross from the President of Estonia. His New York Times bestsellers include The End of Poverty (2005).

VOICE: What moment and work has been the most or very satisfying on your journey promoting sustainable development?

Dr. Sachs: My work with three UN Secretaries-General, Kofi Annan, Ban Ki-moon, and Antonio Guterres, has been a lifetime privilege and honor. The UN, in my view, reflects our highest aspirations towards a world at peace, with shared ethical values, and with worldwide cooperation towards sustainable development. Such a world perspective is hard work. Power lies mostly in the hands of national governments, not “We the peoples” of the Earth, yet it is “We the Peoples” who yearn for a world of peace and shared prosperity.

The Evening for Peace will begin at 5:30pm with a reception, followed by dinner, an award presentation, and remarks by Professor Sachs. To learn more about the Evening for Peace, visit https://www.wagingpeace.org/37th-evening-for-peace-jeffrey-sachs or call the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation at 805.965.3443.

Jewish Communities in Santa Barbara Gather in Solidarity SPECIAL SERVICE CALLED HAVDALLAH was held last Saturday by several Jewish communities in solidarity following the Israeli Massacre. The end of Sabbath service was called to sing prayers, light candles, and mourn the thousands of Jews who died or were terrorized. The service was sponsored by Congregation B’nai B’rith and they were joined by Community Shul of Montecito, the Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara, and congregants of Ventura synagogues. Rabbi Steve Cohen wrote in the invitation to the service: “Several hundred of us were at services last night, singing and dancing with the Torah scroll,

celebrating together the conclusion and beginning again our eternal cycle of reading of the Torah. Our elderly, our kindergartners, a big group of young parents with their new babies, our seventh and eighth graders. Our joy was intense, and our hearts were full of gratitude and hope for the future. Twenty four hours later….our hearts are bursting with a different set of emotions. Fear. Grief. Anger. Even hatred. So much has changed, overnight.”

Congregation B’nai Brith’s Rabbi Daniel Brenner and Cantor Mark Childs.

On Monday night UCSB students held a candle light vigil in front of Storke Tower, which was sponsored by A.S. Jewish commission. As part of the ritual, attendees were asked to message someone on their cell phones who was impacted by the brutality. “We grieve, also, for

A Chumash cultural burn reignites ancient practice for wilderness conservation By Harrison Tasoff The UC Santa Barbara Current

“We’re active in cultural revitalization, language revitalization, and doing this burn is one of those missing puzzle pieces,” said Robyne Redwater, whose family hails from villages in Santa Barbara and the Channel Islands. Fire was an integral part of Chumash livelihood for centuries, if not millennia. Periodic controlled burns kept the landscape open, promoted the growth of useful plants, and facilitated hunting. “A cultural burn is targeted to promote the health of the environment and growth of particular resources like food plants, medicinal plants, and basket material,” explained Jan Timbrook, curator emeritus of ethnography at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. “Here in Southern California, it actually was probably a much more efficient way of producing food than agriculture would have been at the time,” Timbrook said. Today’s familiar crops need water throughout the year, so growing them in Southern California requires irrigation. Even most native crops — think corn,

EMBERS OF THE CHUMASH COMMUNITY gathered at UC Santa Barbara’s North Campus Open Space for an event that none of them had ever witnessed, a practice that had been lost for generations, that most thought would never happen again. More than two centuries since the last cultural burn in the region, they were returning fire to the land in a manner their ancestors may have recognized.

beans, and squash — need summer rainfall or irrigation. That requires a high level of centralized authority and labor. “It was a lot more efficient to just burn these patches periodically, every few years, to increase the growth of these really calorie-dense foods like chia and red maids,” Timbrook explained. Historical and archeological evidence suggests that this practice was incredibly effective. Although they practiced a huntergatherer lifestyle, the Chumash were far from nomadic.

Pre-contact Southern California was likely the most densely populated region north of the Valley of Mexico. The total Chumash population — which extended from Paso Robles to Malibu and inland to the edge of the Central Valley — numbered some 15,000 to 20,000 people.

The project transformed the graded grass monoculture back into the vibrant wetland ecosystem it once was, including nearly 20 acres of native California grassland. The North Campus Open Space (NCOS) fully opened to the community in May 2022.

“Around the Goleta Slough and Mugu Lagoon there were large towns. Some of them had as many as 1,000 people,” Timbrook said. This was a vibrant, bustling society supported by a diversity of resources paired with effective land management.

“Integrating prescribed fire in the grasslands was a high priority from the beginning because it could revive a longpracticed tradition, allow us to educate the community, and to study how that practice works in the modern context with invasive plants, housing and other constraints,” explained Lisa Stratton, director of ecosystem management at the university’s Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration.

Now, the Chumash have become a minority in their own homeland. “I frankly thought I was the only Chumash in the world,” said Chumash Elder Ernestine Ygnacio-De Soto, recounting her childhood in the last Chumashspeaking household. Many people with Chumash heritage aren’t part of a federally recognized tribe, don’t have a cultural center, and don’t have their own land. “So it’s important for places like UCSB, the North Campus Open Space, to open these areas for us to do this,” said Marianne Parra, a Chumash woman active in cultural revitalization.

Revitalizing land and culture An elderberry drill, hearth of California buckeye wood, mugwort tinder, and a few other sticks provide the material to start the fire.

In 2009, UC Santa Barbara embarked on a 13-year restoration of the former Ocean Meadows golf course in Goleta.

Scientists are beginning to realize that Indigenous burning created the patchwork of habitats and ecosystems that fostered greater biodiversity in Southern California. A low-intensity burn can flash through a landscape and open it up to different kinds of plants, many of which are adapted to periodic fires. Indeed, fire agencies, land managers and scientists are increasingly using prescribed burns as an important tool. But California’s grasslands have changed since colonization. Introduced grasses have taken over, outcompeting the region’s diverse wildflowers with a live-fast-die-young strategy. The dry thatch they leave behind, smothers native

“Clearly we have problems with fire in California, but if you can pick the time and the place, fire can be a great tool,” said Wayne Chapman, a restoration manager at UCSB’s Cheadle Center. “Especially for grassland management, I think it’s one of the most exciting things we have not yet been able to implement at all, let alone on a regular basis.” For instance, a flush of growth followed the last fire in the San Marcos foothills, including native plants never documented in that area. Chia sage and red maids (“ ’ilépesh” and “khutash” in in the local kaswa’a language) were among the plants that most benefited from cultural burns. The seeds of these plants — a staple of the traditional Chumash diet — ripen in late spring through early July. Women used seedbeaters to knock the seeds into gathering baskets, in the course of which some seeds were inevitably scattered. After harvesting, they burned the fields to promote the next year’s growth.

burned playing with matches when I was four or five. So fire is not my favorite,” she said. “Never played with matches again.” So why did she agree to light the fire? “Because I’m the elder,” she replied. “Because I’m from here. I do descend from the chiefs, and I have to hold that position.”

A broken chain

The Chumash peoples practiced sophisticated land management to sustain themselves. But colonists had a different way of life and a different perspective, so they didn’t recognize the utility of Indigenous burning practices. “Some of the earliest Spanish explorers who came through this area complained in their journals about the fact that they’re having trouble finding pasturage for their horses and livestock because the ‘heathens’ had burned off all the grasslands,” Timbrook said. The tradition of burning came to an abrupt end on May 31, 1793, when interim Spanish governor José Joaquín de Arrillaga outlawed the practice. In his proclamation, Arrillaga sought to “uproot this very harmful practice of setting fire to pasture lands,” making the practice illegal not just in the vicinity of towns, “but even at the most remote distances.”

Although most knowledge of the technique has been lost to colonization, there are a few things we still know. “They probably used a hand-drill,” explained Chumash Elder Julie Tumamait-Stenslie. “And mugwort was the We’re active punk underneath.”

in cultural revitalization, language revitalization, and doing this burn is one of those missing puzzle pieces.

“It’s basically been a crime throughout much of California for 230 years now,” said restoration specialist Chapman. “And the first place that it was made a crime was Santa Barbara: posted at the Presidio.”

“One can imagine that there was this Once the tinder horrible moment caught, the flame was where these old women probably transferred walked up to do what to the landscape with they’d been doing in the a firebrand. Women — Robyne Redwater fall, and some Spanish may have carried the soldier rode up on a fire from a domestic horse and made it clear, fireplace if the site was in no uncertain terms, that it was not going close enough to a village or camp. to happen anymore,” Chapman said. And it was definitely women who “Our ancestors that went through the did this, Timbrook noted, as they were mission system probably assumed that generally the ones gathering food and many of these rituals or practices would medicines. “They’re the people who know never happen again,” Parra said. And while the most about how these plants grow and cultural burning has been mostly lost to the resources that they provide,” she said, history, that hasn’t stopped Chumash today “so it seems logical that the women would be handling the management of those kinds from trying to rediscover and revitalize what their ancestors did. of resources.” “It was up to the older women to do this,” added Parra. These matriarchs were able to draw from years of experience to ensure this dangerous task was carried out safely and successfully. That’s why the community chose Ernestine Ygnacio-De Soto to lead the firelighting ceremony. Ygnacio-De Soto is the daughter of the last native speaker of any Chumash language and traces her ancestry to a long line of local chiefs. The irony is that she’s terrified of fire. “I got my fingers

Parra herself didn’t fully understand traditional burning growing up, but her grandmother Anne continued the practice in spirit. Each year, Anne Parra would perform a ritual before setting her own garden alight. “I didn’t realize the value of what she was doing every day,” Parra said, recalling how her grandma would wake the children up to participate in various ceremonies and traditions. “I’m so thankful that I had that upbringing, and that I got to spend so

It was then a matter of spinning the drill on the base quickly enough to create an ember. “I’ve tried it once before,” said Tumamait-Stenslie. “It’s not easy.

much time with her as a child,” she added. “Those are lessons you can’t purchase.” Parra has used this gift wisely, sharing her knowledge and inspiration with her daughters, Robyne Redwater and Alikoi Parra, who have taken up the baton as well.

Hope, determination and action

Despite what the Chumash lost to colonization — and they lost a lot — cultures are living things, characterized as much by their history as their future. “We always say we’re the past, present, and future,” Marianne Parra said. The Chumash are working hard to gain more agency over their own cultural practices. “Being out here getting firsthand experience, and hopefully being able to carry it to future generations ourselves, is really the ultimate goal,” said Redwater, who is currently learning the kaswa’a Chumash language, as well. “In the future, our hope is to have an all-female, Indigenous fire-keeper team.” And the term “fire-keeper” is important. “We’re trying to really push away from this dichotomy of good and bad fires,” said Redwater’s sister Alikoi Parra. The same fire can be beneficial and destructive, useful and harmful. “We have to learn how to work with fire.” “I’m always a great believer in continuity of care,” said Ygnacio-De Soto, who worked

as a nurse for 45 years. “So it’s not the start of bringing these practices back that matters as much as what happens after.” For her, that includes future burns, greater Chumash involvement and cultivation of traditional food plants. According to Stratton, UC Santa Barbara has every intention to continue this relationship. “We’ve been meeting with people from different groups of Chumash, and one of the realizations is that this is just the first step in a much longer process of integrating the Chumash into these traditional land management practices,” Stratton said. She’d like to see cultural burns expand beyond NCOS. There are a lot of degraded grasslands in coastal California, she explained. This burn could initiate a larger process of learning to use fire to open up the landscape and promote biodiversity in conjunction with Indigenous communities. “We’re going to have to just relearn it, and help each other,” added Chapman. “It’s not about going back. It’s about going forward with knowledge from the past and lessons from the past to make a better future. Printed with permission of UCSB Office of Public Affairs and Communications

Personnel from the Santa Barbara County Fire Department managed the burn after the Chumash lit the grassland. The event’s success involved coordination between several organizations and agencies.

The Thanksgiving Play

October 13, 2021

Review by Daniel Kepl / VOICE

ELEBRATING THE ART OF STORYTELLING with one of the most brilliant new plays of the last ten years, Ensemble Theatre Company opened its 45th Santa Barbara season last Saturday at the New Vic with playwright Larissa FastHorse’s The Thanksgiving Play. It’s a drop dead funny (tasteless pun intended), mercilessly eviscerating examination of white America’s “attempt to reconcile the weight of historical inaccuracies with the desire for inclusion and sensitivity,” award-winning director Brian McDonald remarks in a program note. Highlighting with slashing stilettos of mirth, the tragi-comic absurdity in recent years of well-intentioned but naïve attempts by white Americans to make up for what playwright FastHorse (Sicangu Lakota Nation) calls “the longest black comedy in the world,” her funny as an acid bath 2015 masterpiece, which received its Broadway debut in 2023 doesn’t need to mention the near total extermination by the U.S. government of Native Americans over the past couple hundred years to make its point; silly platitudes and twisted word salads do not adequately compensate for countless trails of tears, and Wounded Knees. FastHorse, a 20202025 MacArthur Fellow, makes it punishingly clear that indigenous peoples understand cycles – there’s nothing new in the white man’s talk, it just goes round and round. Four superlative professionals, all masterfully intuitive in understanding the substance or lack thereof of their characters, were also acutely attuned to each other on stage at last Saturday’s opening of The Thanksgiving Play. The split-second timing required for successful comedic interaction between the four sparkled with energy. FastHorse’s 90-minute dark comedy danced with wry spirit and agile consequence. Numberless nuanced subtexts and gossamer allusions to Native American terrors past, present, and future sped by, greased with several slick heights of laughter-wracked schtick and timing. Director McDonald did not miss a single opportunity for swift verbal punch or subtextual superlatives. This cast was surely a dream come true of ensemble creativity and interaction. The four characters are all white, one of several FastHorse cannonades about who tells history’s tale - the victors. Los Angeles-based Devin Sidell played the earnest, if for all the wrong reasons Logan, director in charge of creating a new, politically correct version of the traditional and traditionally wrong First Thanksgiving story. Sidell’s hyperventilated unctuous cloying, her supplications to colleagues about collaboration and community, her rituals of desperate “method,” and her borderline hysterical, usually simultaneous episodes of inspirational hypertension and exhausted fetal retreat made for priceless dollops of comedic opportunity and character caricature. Sidell was on top of every swift-moving gaff and verbal pitfall at last Saturday’s opening – her character fragile intellectually, and shallow in leadership skills. Aging surfer and occasional theatrical hire, the “cool” character of Jaxton was given perfect Hollywood casting couch insouciance by Los Angeles-based Adam Hagenbuch, no stranger to the endless audition game himself. Jaxton becomes, in Hagenbuch’s crafting of the character, the most rational member of this somewhat squirrelly foursome. Jaxton is at least certain of his own certainty, while the others grasp at intellectual and emotional straws. It’s a wonderfully subtle, warmly comedic, and vibrantly human character study by Hagenbuch, in his Ensemble Theatre Company debut. The role of schoolteacher and wannabe playwright Caden is juicy, and Southern California-based Will Block escalates his character’s increasingly manic behavior by slow degrees, on a spit of comedic edginess. Quite perfectly over the top from time to time, no easy task, Caden’s character is in a way the most genuine manifestation of emotional truth of the four principals. Walking a tightrope between antipodes of excessive flourish and solid history, Block gave Caden an aura of real if fractious humanity. Los Angeles-based, but more importantly, daughter of the Jersey shore Ashley Platz, turned the dangerous role of sexy but dumb Alicia into a triumph of understated comedic chutzpah. The slightest flaw in empathic understanding of her character, the briefest failure at cha-ching gotcha statement and response synchronicity, a faltering in any way of Alicia’s disarming charms and hilarious mind to mouth faux pas could easily have plunged the character into the dross of stereotype. Platz’ understated exultation of Alicia was, put simply, brilliant. A single but somehow engrossing set piece by scenic and lighting designer Mike Billings - an elementary school classroom where the four hapless colleagues gather to improvise their way toward collective Thanksgiving consciousness - worked like a charm; chairs and a settee

being the means by which scene variety could be actualized visually. Costume designer Abra Flores dressed her four charges in contemporary SoCal rehearsal garb, adding a little snigger perhaps with the character Logan’s ensemble of implied if nerdy authority. Separating scene breaks with devilish funny videos of kids in Pilgrim couture singing blasphemous, ill-fitting Turkey Day lyrics to Christmas favorites was the clever work of Randall Robert Tico, his 17th original music and sound design project for Ensemble Theatre. Above all, director Brian McDonald deserves kudos with laurels for a tight, brilliantly staged, diction-perfect – I understood every word – clockwork of precisely timed comedic virtuosity. His spectacular ensemble cast presented a masterpiece in masterful manner. There’s more though, and it’s what makes FastHorse one of America’s most important playwrights. The number and urgency of issues addressed with wit and forgiving irony in The Thanksgiving Play nevertheless culminate in a fascinating, Godot-like enigma at the very end of the play. Maybe the journey isn’t about becoming anything, but rather about un-becoming everything so human beings can be what they were meant to be in the first place.

Cruising SB! HE CONES ALONG CABRILLO BOULEVARD are a sign that Santa Barbara has opened its doors to greet a new wave of visitors for the busy, albeit limited, 2023-24 cruise ship season. Just during the last few days six cruise ships have been anchored beyond the breakwater shuttling visitors to enjoy the ambiance of Santa Barbara, visiting historical landmarks and museums, shopping in the Funk Zone and State Street, and enjoying the beautiful weather in the California autumn sunshine.

Santa Barbara has long been a favorite destination for travelers seeking a perfect blend of relaxation and a bushel full of exciting things to discover. The prospect of cruise ships docked in the harbor truly does celebrate the city’s warmth and hospitality. The economic impact that they bring is impossible to ignore: local businesses gear up for an uptick in activity as shops, restaurants, and tour operators cater to the diverse needs of cruise passengers. From boutiques showcasing local artisans to our selection of eateries serving up the finest of coastal cuisines, the city is poised to offer a memorable experience to travelers disembarking from these luxury liners. To think that visitors from all around the world seek to enjoy Santa Barbara is indeed a complement to our welcoming community. Last Friday’s visitor was Radiance of the Seas, a cruise ship of 90,000 tonnage carrying 3,500 passengers and crew, owned and operated by Royal Caribbean International. All of the Radiance-class ships have a gas turbine powertrain (complete internal-combustion) engine which produces higher efficient speeds and is far more environmentally friendly than cruise ships powered by diesel engines. In consideration of the global climate challenges the cruise industry has been making strides towards sustainability. Santa Barbara is no stranger to environmental consciousness. With an emphasis on responsible tourism, the city is working hand-in-hand with cruise lines to minimize their ecological footprint and is diligently working on managing the season’s increased tourism to ensure that the local infrastructure remains intact. From efficient transportation systems to waste management, the city is committed to upholding its charm while accommodating the surge in visitors. Plans are currently afoot for cruise ship visits going forward keeping the city’s accommodations and limitations in mind. Shore excursions promoting conservation efforts are in the works, ensuring that both visitors and residents can enjoy Santa Barbara for generations to come. Having seen the profile of the Radiance of the Sea on the horizon earlier in the day, I thought I’d have a closer look. A little research informed me that along with her many luxurious amenities, this flagship of the Royal Caribbean Radiance fleet features a $6 million art collection including works of art from over 100 artists around the world, certainly in tune with the vibrant local arts scene. Later that afternoon I arrived at the entrance of the ship’s boarding walkway hoping to chat with a passenger or two. Janet and David, a couple loaded with bags full of goodies, sat near the entrance looking sated but exhausted. Making their home in Las Vegas, they assured me that they’d had a marvelous time here in Santa Barbra and, of course, on the ship. “This is the second voyage we’ve taken on the Radiance of the Sea,” they proudly claimed. “We got onboard in Alaska and are getting off in San Diego.” As is often the case with experienced cruisers, they know which voyages offer the greatest experience. “Actually, after we leave the ship in San Diego, she goes on down the coast to ports in Mexico and Central America and through the Panama Canal across to the Caribbean Sea.”

Now I’d say, that’s a cruise! The City of Santa Barbara’s website states that between the beginning of the 2023 cruise season at the end of October, 13 ships will be visiting our shores until the end of November. The city’s embrace of the cruise ships this year is not only a testament to Santa Barbara’s adaptability and commitment to providing a welcoming atmosphere but also an opportunity to benefit the local economy and to showcase the California coast and all of its beauty. Janet and David Sigrid Toye volunteers for the Breakwater Flag Project. She is on the board of directors of the Maritime Museum and participates in Yacht Club activities. An educational/behavior therapist, Sigrid holds a Ph.D in clinical psychology. She loves all things creative, including her two grown children who are working artists.

Artist and gallery owner Ralph Waterhouse, in appropriate attire, stood at his easel, brush in hand, displaying how art is actually created! The on-sight landscape painting that Waterhouse created was auctioned at the end of the afternoon’s festivities. In addition to Waterhouse, participating artists included Ann Sanders, Chris Potter, Patricia Post, John Iwerks, Ray Hunter, Chris Chapman, Danuta Bennett, and Andrea Anderson.

Art Foundation Trustee Frank McGinity graciously opened his historic Montecito home and gardens for this special event. His home is located in the Theatre House, one of only three original structures that remain on the McCormick’s Riven Rock Estate. The afternoon’s guests were treated to fine wines and a tasty selection of finger foods courtesy of the Santa Barbara Club assisted by the Club’s familiar, friendly staff.

Moore noted that a special Art Foundation grant was given that afternoon by the Coeta and Donald Barker foundation for the benefit of Visual Arts and Design Academy students at Santa Barbara High School. Not only is it the responsibility of the Art Foundation to gain, collect, preserve, and display important works of fine art and items of historical significance, but also to encourage young artists to pursue their passion. The event was sponsored by Montecito Bank & Trust and Keith Moore. Sigrid Toye volunteers for the Breakwater Flag Project.

Santa Barbara County and surrounding Art by Patricia Post areas have a long history of art produced by now nationally famous artists and continues as an important source of works from its large community of contemporary artists. The Art Foundation intends to develop a significant collection of such works of art and then exhibit portions of its collection at the Santa Barbara Club, itself a historical structure. One of the Art Foundation’s priorities is to organize and offer tours of such venues to educational institutions, various public groups, and other civic organizations.

A Tribute to Susan Alexander-A fundraiser for The Dance Hub

By Olivia Marceda / VOICE

HEN YOU DANCE AND TRAIN WITH OTHER PEOPLE, a bond is formed, offering the chance to get to know them on a deeper level. For Susan Alexander, a UCSB graduate and renowned contemporary dance instructor, this familiar experience. She will be honored as the Dance Hub’s outstanding modern dance teacher during their annual benefit event on Saturday, October 21st. “I am so lucky because I love what I’m doing for work, and I work doing what I love,” said Alexander. “I have been very fortunate in my life.”

the Paris Opera Ballet Company, and for 18 years at the Paris Conservatory of Music and Dance, before ultimately deciding to come back to Santa Barbara. “We had about an 80 percent success rate with many of my past students in becoming professional dancers in France. Now when I go back I get to see many of my former students. Reconnecting with them has been really gratifying. I feel very lucky to be able to see the evolution of dancing.”

Alexander has been dancing her entire life. As an undergraduate she went to UCSB earning a B.A. Since 2008, Alexander Susan Alexander in Dance and English and then on to Mills College has been living and with an M.A. in Dance. She has been teaching ever since, teaching in Santa Barbara. She shared that while living in eventually teaching in New York and then France with Paris she always said that if she was ever to come back to America she would live in Santa Barbara. She helped start the Dance Hub and has taught at Westmont College for NEWLY LISTED nine years. 101 Via Tusa / $3,794,500

What Alexander loves most about dancing is that it is good for the body and the mind. Each person in a class has to master and memorize rhythmic structures, counting the music, and work on making it their own. She loves sharing with the people she teaches and hopes everyone enjoys the joy of movement.

“It’s about adapting to every situation and appreciating what it has to offer. I am passionate about dancing and sharing it with people,” she added.

Alexander really admires Carrie Diamond for opening her own studio, AD&M’s Dance Hub in 2009, sharing that it’s a beautiful place and has been a pleasant space to work in over her years there. On the evening of the 21st, a delicious dinner prepared by Chef Michael Wood will be served at the fundraiser, along with a dance performance by choreographer Melissa Fenley and a number of inspiring speeches honoring Alexander. The Dance Hub will also welcome Suzi Winson, the newest employee of The Dance Hub. She is currently a jazz and ballet dance instructor and will share her thoughts on being a part of the Dance Hub community. The Tribute To Susan Alexander will take Saturday, October 21, 5 to 8pm at The Dance Hub, located at 22 E. Victoria Street. For tickets ($150) visit www.dancehubsb.org

Performance of SurvivorS set for the Marjorie Luke Theatre

SONG AND STAGE EVENT called Raise Our Voices is set for the Marjorie Luke Theatre on October 19th.

The one act play Survivors is a hour-long internationally acclaimed work by Wendy Kout, which will be performed then will be followed by a talkback moderated by Gwyn Lurie, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of the Montecito Journal. The Inner Light Gospel Choir directed by Dauri Kennedy and the Dos Pueblos High School Jazz Choir under the direction of Courtney Anderson will also be featured. Survivors teaches Holocaust history and tolerance through the enacted eyewitness accounts of ten survivors who immigrated to America. Searing and intimate, these harrowing true stories are performed by six young, diverse actors. Historical photographs are projected to authenticate and underscore the rise of fascism in Hitler’s Europe and later liberation of the camps. The survivors in the play also share their life lessons, inspiring hope and courage to raise our voices against today’s hatred.

Honor memories of departed loved ones and exercise your creativity when the Santa Barbara Museum of Art hosts its free Día de los Muertos Family Day from 11am to 4pm on Sunday, October 22nd. The afternoon will end with music and dance performances from the Mixtec and Zapotec regions of Oaxaca, Mexico, with all invited to join a parade procession from SBMA to the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara at 3:45pm.

Kashkari, who is a voting member of the Fed’s interest-rate committee this year, said the job market has remained resilient even with all the Fed’s rate hikes over the past year and a half. “We feel like we’re on track for a soft landing,” Kashkari said, with inflation coming down and avoiding a deep recession. “So far,

things are looking hopeful, but it’s too soon to declare victory.” Many Fed officials continue being coy about future inflation trends because they fear the economy could overheat once again, leading the Fed to raise interest rates even higher, hence the recession fears. But what could cause another recession unless we have another pandemic—wars and soaring energy prices? It is not happening at present. But this uncertainty will keep Wall Street in a tither for months, and the Fed from reducing their interest rates anytime soon, unfortunately.

Some 40 million miles of roadways encircle the earth, yet we tend to regard them only as infrastructure for human convenience. While roads are so ubiquitous they’re practically invisible to us, wild animals experience them as entirely alien forces of death and disruption.

In Crossings, environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb travels throughout the United States and around the world to investigate how roads have transformed our planet. A million animals are killed by cars each day in the U.S. alone, but as the new science of road ecology shows, the harms of highways extend far beyond roads.

DUSK TO DUST, by Tom Pazderka

USK TO DUST, an exhibition of new works by Tom Pazderka at Silo118, in the Funk Zone. The show will open Oct. 13th. This will be Pazderka’s first solo exhibition in Santa Barbara in six years.

“A work of art is most compelling when it does not openly divulge when it was made, when it resists the temptation to go with the times and be subsumed by the ‘now’” commented Pazderka. Pazderka mixes fire ash with oil paint to create his images - some gorgeous, some macabre, but always compelling and fascinating, both in subject material and dimension, according to curator Bonnie Rubenstein. “Painting mirrors the untimeliness of cloud watching and contemplating an old photograph… we are all watchers of the same phenomena,” continued Pazderka.

Seawall, oil/panel by Manny Lopez

Participating Artists:

Pazderka’s work honors the beauty, the power and the risks of harnessing the most profound forces in nature, according to Rubinstein. Pazderka received his M.F.A at the University of California Santa Barbara, and his B.F.A. at Western Carolina University. He currently works at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art as a Senior Preparator and Collections Photographer. He also works for the Santa Barbara Office of Arts and Culture, as Lead Preparator and Exhibitions Designer.

Wildling Museum hosts National Parks Art Exhibition

By Kerry Methner / VOICE

HE EXTRAORDINARY BEAUTY AND VARIETY OF NINE CALIFORNIA NATIONAL PARKS is featured in an exhibition at The Wildling Museum of Art and Nature and on view through February 19th, 2024. Discover Lassen, Joshua, Redwoods, Pinnacles, Channel Islands, Yosemite, Kings Canyon, Sequoia, and Death Valley National Parks when artists from Georgia, Pennsylvania, Utah, Oregon, Arizona, Washington, New Mexico, Nevada, and California share their work in California National Parks: Stories of Water. The exhibit features 37 artists and 39 artworks selected from a pool of more than 240 submissions by artists across the U.S. “Our national parks show is actually a triannual show. Its primary purpose is educational – to raise awareness of the parks and inspire travel to lesser known parks like Lassen and Pinnacles. We will be announcing related programs such as lectures and field trips soon!” shared Wildling Executive Director, Stacey Otte-Demangat.

media and techniques, from acrylic, oil, and watercolor paintings, to photography, mixed media, and textile art. Lakes, waterfalls, dew, rain, and fog are just some of the ways water makes its mark throughout national parks. And the impacts of a lack of water are equally important, as persistent drought is a major issue in California.

Holding Stratus Pose, Tenaya Lake, Yosemite by Nancy Yaki (First Place, $2500)

“We’ve all had direct experience recently with significant drought concerns followed by, in some cases, flooding issues. Water is crucial to every community but not something that can be taken for granted. That’s why we chose to have a focus on water (or its lack) for our parks show this year. The artists depicted water in very diverse ways, from abundantly flowing waterfalls to Joshua trees dying from drought, with a storm brewing in the distance,” Otte-Demangate added.

Proceeds from sales of exhibited work will go to the artists with 40 percent supporting the museum’s programs and exhibits.
