Into A New Literary Frontier with Novelist Percival Everett

By Destin Cavazos / VOICE

NE OF THE MOST STIRRING VOICES OF CONTEMPORARY FICTION

, a modern Mark Twain, author Percival Everett will join UCSB Arts & Lectures for an evening of discussion regarding race, reading, and renewed American classics on Friday, October 25th, in Campbell Hall. The conversation with Everett is the second in A&L’s Justice For All programming initiative.

“I don’t have any stake in what people think,” said Everett in an interview with PBS on what motivates him as a writer. “But I want to live in a world where people think.”

A Pulitzer Prize finalist and professor of literature at USC, Everett has written over 30 books, including novels, poetry, and short story collections, with titles such as For Her Dark Skin, Frenzy, I Am Not Sidney Poitier, and The Trees, among others. Recently, his 2001 novel Erasure was brought to the screen as Academy Award winning satire American Fiction, starring Jeffrey Wright, Sterling K. Brown, and Issa Rae.

classic. “There was another agent there, someone with agency, experiencing this world in a very different way.”

His newest novel, James, was recently shortlisted for the Booker Prize and National Book Award. In the novel, Everett explores the Americana narrative of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but through the perspective of Jim, the enslaved man who played a supporting role in Mark Twain’s original novel. It isn’t a reworking or retelling, however, nor is it a response to the racial discussion Twain explored in Huckleberry Finn Instead, Everett shares what he considers a more authentic portrayal of Jim’s life as an African American, one that captures the spirit of Twain’s adventure.

“I consider myself in conversation with Twain,” said Everett. “I am perhaps writing the novel he was not equipped to write. He could not occupy the psychic and cultural space that was occupied by Jim.”

This shifted perspective that Everett is able to give voice to is exactly why the author doesn’t consider the novel a revision: these aren’t different characters than the ones we know, we’re just seeing them in a different light. For example, the Jim of Twain’s canonical classic speaks in broken English, his poor vernacular portrayed through phonetic misspellings and folksy sayings that reiterate his illiterate background as a slave. In Everett’s James, the character learns to read and write in secret and holds eloquent conversations on morality with the spirit of Voltaire, showcasing the complex man that resides behind the caricature in Huck’s original 1899 adventure.

“That landscape was not wandered alone by Huck,” shared Everett on bringing a new lens to the characters within the Twain

In delving into the other side of the narrative, the novel paints a much grimmer picture of the Mississippi journey, with James faced with the traumatic reality of a runaway slave in the American south. Amidst these true terrors of history, however, Everett doesn’t shy away from the humor either, delivering laugh out loud moments of levity just pages after moments of unspeakable horror. Playing with expectations in that way is a big part of his schtick, with the author agreeing he’s got a dark sense of humor. Everett admits Twain’s seminal rural perspective served as one of his major comedic influences growing up (among the antics of Groucho Marx and Bullwinkle). As a humorist, he finds he is drawn to irony, drolly defining himself as “pathologically ironic.”

“Life in the Mississippi and Roughing It were hilarious to me, and hilarious because the humor lies in Twain’s observations, not in jokes,” shared Everett on his early exposure to Twain. “If you get someone laughing, you’ve removed some defenses. Then you can show them the bad things. Have someone ask themselves why they’re laughing. It was Twain who said ‘If you can make your audience laugh…you can do other stuff to them too.’ I like the power humor has to open those types of avenues.”

In addition to the evening with Everett, other upcoming events in UCSB Arts & Lectures’ Justice for All series include a discussion with financial journalist Josie Cox on Thursday, October 17th; a conversation on racism in medicine with Dr. Uché Blackstock on Wednesday, November 20th; and an evening with author Tommy Orange on Wednesday, January 29th.

Free copies of Everett’s book, James, will be available at the event while supplies last (limit one per household). Additional titles will also be available for sale and signing, courtesy of Chaucer’s Books. For tickets ($28, Free for UCSB Students) visit www.artsandlectures.ucsb.edu/events-tickets/events

Red-shouldered Hawk ~

TBy Rebecca Coulter, Santa Barbara Audubon Society | Special to VOICE

HE VOICE OF OUR WOODLANDS, Red-shouldered Hawk is a permanent resident and our most vocal raptor. Keen birders note its presence by the unmistakable “keer-keer-keer!” calls it gives on territory or when alarmed. Its varied diet of small mammals, birds, amphibians, and snakes make it adaptable to many types of habitat, including suburban areas with nearby woodland. The striking black and white checkerboard pattern of its back and wings is set off by orange-red barring on the belly and “shoulders.” Related to Red-tailed Hawk, it is smaller and sometimes more obvious to observers when revealed by its loud, ringing calls.

Lost in Yonkers is a Bittersweet Lesson on Family

By Jesse Caverly / VOICE

LOST IN YONKERS IS BOTH A TIME CAPSULE of bittersweet nostalgia and a compelling argument that it wasn’t all that great. It looks at family dynamics and the sometimes toxic connective tissue between generations—and how hard it can be to change.

Jay and Arty, played by Luke David Hamilton and Guy Challen, are two young brothers who have just lost their mother, and are left with their stern Grandma for a year while their father seeks employment out of state to pay off a debt to the mafia. This is playwright Neil Simon’s favorite wheelhouse: coming of age stories for boys in Olde New York, that bygone era.

It’s also very telling that somehow, many decades

later, much of the material still sticks with us today. Society is now more than ever unpacking family trauma, codependencies, and what real healing means. Somehow, Simon’s play feels both time-stamped in its era, yet also relevant now.

Grandma Kurnitz, played with rocksteady stoicism by Leslie Ann Story, is an old school matriarch who has provided for her family at a great sacrifice, and she doesn’t like to talk about it. Leslie Ann Story subtly imbues what suppression of self and suck-it-up bravado will do to somebody over time. She is, of course, a mystery and a bully to the boys, who can’t understand her and despise being under her care. Rounding out the family is Bella, their flighty auntie (played by Leesa Beck), and their Uncle Louie (played by Peter Fuller), who is some kind of street hustler who’s come back home to lay low for a while.

When Grandma Kurnitz and daughter Bella finally confront the long simmering resentments between them, it serves as a glaring case for deeper pains that impact the whole family. At last we see that Bella is more much more than the bubbly absent-minded stereotype she appears to be, and she deservedly wants more from life.

There is a quiet kind of authenticity that is required to portray the teenage years, minus the performativeness of it, and the boys deliver. It is a particularly nuanced challenge that Luke David Hamilton and Guy Challen handle with care and humor. The timing and chemistry between the two also resonates well with Peter Fuller as Uncle Louie. The trio carry most of the humor of the story, which allows for the drama around family and cycles of trauma to play out without being too heavy.

It feels like, as much as we might assume society to be better and more evolved, Lost in Yonkers suggests that some things, so deeply rooted, can be forever. That ancestral pain, especially in family dynamics, is universal and requires our attention and willingness to wrestle with it, if we wish to grow.

Lost in Yonkers also, notably, earned playwright Neil Simon a 1991 Pulitzer Prize winner for Drama. Impressed by its depth over 30 years ago, director Jonathan Fox has long had his eye set upon it. Given the opportunity by SBCC, Fox finally scratched an artistic itch, and under his direction, Lost in Yonkers rings with a wistful nostalgia and an insistence that family pain can, in the end, be redeemed. Lost in Yonkers plays through to October 27th. For tickets, ($16–$27) visit www.theatregroupsbcc.com

Dracula: a Comedy of Terrors is a Bite of Delight

By Jesse Caverly / VOICE

BUILDING UP HALLOWEEN SUSPENSE,

Dracula: a Comedy of Terrors at the ETC serves up a great way to slip into the spirit of the season—a little bloodshed, some demonic possession, and a lot of laughs. A new twist on an old tale, this is a take on vampires as rowdy, bawdy, and leaves no desire unturned.

The ambience is dry ice smoke, dramatic lighting, thunderclaps, and neon night club noir. Satire allows this production to skewer all things serious with sirens, confetti, and the heavy bass of club music. The stage, light, and sound design reflect this: dark, moody, loud,

expressive, and a hell of a lot of fun.

The play is a fast 90 minutes that might almost whizz by if the story doesn’t take a few smartly placed beats to let the audience catch up. The setting is Victorian times meets 21st century Uber, post-pandemic, gender fluid farmers markets—modern times at the speed of social media. At the same time, it is not so obsessed with what is immediately trending right now that it leaves its source material behind. The jokes remain evergreen.

It is important to recognize the immortalized lineage that gives us Adam Hagenbuch’s delicious take on the titular bloodsucker. The classic Rocky Horror Picture Show gave us Dr. Frank-N-Furter, and Dracula: a Comedy of Terrors gives us a Dracula so self-obsessed it’s a real shame he can’t see himself in the mirror.

October 11, 2024

Hagenbuch bites into a thick, campy Transylvanian accent just as much as he does into Dracula’s body language: half runway model, half go-go club dance boi, and all drunken with blood-lust. Also, the skin tight leather pants don’t hurt.

The whole cast is ready to match that energy.

Janna Cardia highlights the absurdity of playing multiple characters at once in a hilarious show of physical and verbal gymnastics, flipping back and forth between Dr. Westfeldt and Renfield with necksnapping speed. Casey J. Adler’s bumbling Harker, once his passion has been ignited, is cleavingly hilarious. Josh Odsess Rubin’s Mina is sex-hungry, of course, but as Van Helsing he brings a deeper smoldering nuance to forbidden desire. And Regina Fernandez, as Lucy, Dracula’s main squeeze and really all that he wants, is a laugh-out-loud riot once her desires are unhinged.

It’s impossible to explore the fertile ground of Dracula without trafficking in what’s so painfully funny about it all—and the lengths we will go to get what we want, to hell with the consequences. With plenty of vampire lore to dig into, Dracula: a Comedy of Terrors stakes its claim.

Dracula: a Comedy of Terrors plays through October 27th, with a few pre-show talks on the 16th and the 23rd, a Cocktail Night on the 18th, a Pride Night on the 24th followed with a post-show talkback, and weekend matinees.

Commission to Consider Planting Native Tree Species on East Anapamu Street

ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3RD, THE STREET TREE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, a City advisory group composed of appointed community members with horticultural and arboricultural experience, recommended changing the current street tree designation for the 300 to 800 blocks of East Anapamu Street from the Italian stone pine (Pinus pinea) to the California native coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia). A block’s street tree designation determines what trees will be planted and maintained alongside that particular portion of street. This proposal follows many years of tree decline and failures along the street as well as a comprehensive safety assessment completed earlier this year.

No existing trees will be affected by this process.

The Parks and Recreation Commission is scheduled to consider this recommendation on Wednesday, October 23rd, Council Chambers, City Hall, 735 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

The Committee recommendation introduces a tree species better suited to the street conditions. Reasons for this change include that coast live oaks grow well in areas adjacent to asphalt, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and overhead power lines. As they mature, the oaks will recreate the dense canopy that the century-old Italian stone pines once offered.

environmental conservation and has funded schools, and health and education initiatives globally. Additionally, she is founder of the Maddox Foundation, an integrated development program headquartered in Cambodia, with a focus on conservation, agriculture, education, and economic development projects in the area.

She is the founder of Atelier Jolie, a hub for artists, empowering people to participate in creating their own fashion, with a focus on sustainability. Jolie is also co-author of Know Your Rights and Claim Them, a guide for youth.

The Modern Master Award was established in 1995. Created to honor an individual who has enriched our culture through accomplishments in the motion picture industry, it was re-named the Maltin Modern Master Award in 2015 in honor of long-time SBIFF moderator and renowned film critic Leonard Maltin. Past recipients include Academy Award-winning actors Jamie Lee Curtis, Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem, Robert Downey Jr., Denzel Washington, Cate Blanchett, George Clooney, and Christopher Plummer, and acclaimed filmmakers including Christopher Nolan, James Cameron, Clint Eastwood, and Peter Jackson.

The 40th Santa Barbara International Film Festival will take place LIVE February 4 - February 15, 2025. Official events including screenings, filmmaker Q&As, industry panels, and celebrity tributes will be held at SBIFF’s Riviera Theatre and its new Film Center, plus the historic Arlington Theatre. Passes for the 2025 Festival are on sale now at sbiff.org.

La Comisión Considerará la Plantación de Especies de Árboles Nativos en la Calle East Anapamu

EL JUEVES 3 DE OCTUBRE, EL COMITÉ ASESOR DE ÁRBOLES URBANOS, un grupo asesor de la ciudad compuesto por miembros de la comunidad con experiencia en horticultura y arboricultura, recomendó cambiar la designación de árbol de la calle para los bloques 300 a 800 de la calle East Anapamu del pino piñonero italiano (Pinus pinea) al roble costero vivo nativo de California (Quercus agrifolia). La designación de árboles de una calle determina qué árboles se plantarán y mantendrán a lo largo de esa porción en particular. Esta propuesta sigue a varios años de declive y fallos de los árboles en esta calle, así como una evaluación de seguridad integral completada a principios de este año.

Ningún árbol existente se verá afectado por este proceso.

La Comisión de Parques y Recreación está programada para considerar esta recomendación el miércoles 23 de octubre, Sala del Consejo, Ayuntamiento, 735 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

La recomendación del Comité introduce una especie de árbol mejor adaptada a las condiciones de la calle. Las razones para este cambio incluyen que los robles costeros vivos crecen bien en áreas adyacentes al asfalto, aceras, bordillos, cunetas y líneas eléctricas aéreas. A medida que maduren, los robles recrearán el denso dosel que los pinos piñoneros italianos centenarios ofrecieron en su momento.

In 2001, the City adopted the California native coast live oak as one of its two official City trees. The City Council selected the oak to symbolize strength, longevity, and historic preservation. Native to the region, coast live oaks are well-adapted to the local environment and provide valuable food sources and habitat for wildlife.

The parkway, areas between the curb and sidewalk, along East Anapamu Street currently house 46 Italian stone pines, which will receive continued care by the City’s Urban Forestry Program. Once a final decision on the street tree designation is made, new trees can be planted in the vacant tree wells along the street. There are approximately 25 locations available for planting. The City’s Urban Forestry Program will replant this winter to begin to restore the tree canopy.

Members of the public are welcome to submit comments to the Parks and Recreation Commission in person, in writing, or by email at CCarlson@ SantaBarbaraCA.gov. Written comments should be received by 12:00 p.m. on October 22 to be considered during the October 23 Commission meeting.

More info about this project can be found at https://tinyurl.com/mrybv7b7

En 2001, la Ciudad adoptó el roble costero vivo nativo de California como uno de sus dos árboles oficiales. El Consejo Municipal seleccionó el roble para simbolizar fortaleza, longevidad y preservación histórica. Nativos de la región, los robles costeros vivos están bien adaptados al entorno local y proporcionan valiosas fuentes de alimento y hábitat para la fauna silvestre.

Las franjas, áreas entre la acera y la banqueta, a lo largo de la calle East Anapamu actualmente albergan 46 pinos de piedra italianos, los cuales continuarán recibiendo el cuidado del Programa de Silvicultura Urbana de la Ciudad. Una vez que se tome una decisión final sobre la designación de los árboles de la calle, se podrán plantar nuevos árboles en los alcorques vacíos a lo largo de la calle. Hay aproximadamente 25 ubicaciones disponibles para plantar. El Programa de Silvicultura Urbana de la Ciudad replantará este invierno para comenzar a restaurar el dosel arbóreo.

Los miembros del público están invitados a enviar comentarios a la Comisión de Parques y Recreación en persona, por escrito o por correo electrónico a CCarlson@SantaBarbaraCA.gov.. Los comentarios por escrito deben recibirse antes de las 12:00 p.m. del 22 de octubre para ser considerados durante la reunión de la Comisión del 23 de octubre.

Letters to the Editor - RE: Measure I

To the Editor:

I would like to add my voice to the chorus of endorsements (e.g., the Independent, Noozhawk, Santa Barbara League of Women Voters, Santa Barbara County Democratic Party) for Santa Barbara’s Measure I, a modest tax increase critical to maintaining essential services for the City of Santa Barbara: police, fire, water, parks and recreation, and the Santa Barbara Public Library.

I have served on the Library Advisory Board for almost four years although I do not write in my official capacity as Chair of the Board. Besides supporting the robust City services that maintain our health, safety, and quality of life, Measure I’s passage is essential for keeping our library open seven days a week so that its contribution to Santa Barbara’s social infrastructure can continue.

In case anyone needs a reminder of the library’s role in our community, here are a few examples illustrating these contributions:

• Adult Print Books Borrowed = 172,389

• Children/Teen Print Books Borrowed = 308,743

• Adult eBooks Borrowed = 94,245

• Adult Audiobooks Borrowed = 106,528

• Programs Offered = 1,336

• Program Attendance, Adults = 18,046

• Program Attendance, Children/Teens = 18,973

• Library Van-on-the Go Stops = 355, with 12,000+ children, teen, and adult visitors

• Public Computer Use = 24,873 sessions

• Public WiFi Sessions = 155,809

• Reference Assistance/Research Transactions = 52,485 episodes

• Indoor Foot Traffic across Library Branches – 317,257

The above list is just a sample of the library’s contributions to our civic and social well-being last year. Likewise, the multiplier effect of the $532,676 spent on physical materials and $390,801 on digital materials in enhancing the capacity of our community to learn, grow, and contribute to the economy cannot be underestimated.

Along with the other essential services of Santa Barbara, the library deserves a YES vote on Measure I so that it can continue its extraordinary support for the quality of life in our fair city.

“Why we need Measure IA YES Vote for Securing Essential Services – Helps All of Us”

We are facing such a difficult decision: do we cut essential city services that would affect all of us, but especially those who truly depend on them for survival; or, pay an increase of 1/2% sales tax (which exempts services, rent, groceries, prescription medicine, utilities, diapers, and feminine hygiene products)?

Remember that money collected under Measure I can only be used locally for the benefit of the City of Santa Barbara and its residents and businesses.

The city faces an operating deficit of $7 million in 2025. While we can speculate on why there’s such a deficit, complain and criticize, we can also acknowledge and understand some of the root causes: the cost of recruiting and maintaining qualified employees and professionals on whom we rely for essential services; inflation and the rising costs of materials and services to build and make repairs; the rising cost of insurance; supply chain challenges that delay projects and add costs due to unanticipated changes; the effects of fires, floods, rains and mudslides; the challenges of planning and managing projects and deliverables in uncertain times.

The FY2025 budget includes new costs as well. It will be the first year that the city will contribute to the new Regional Fire Communications Facility that includes one fire dispatch center to serve all municipal fire and EMS units in the county which will allow for the closest, most appropriate fire resource response regardless of jurisdiction.

Without Measure I, we all will face the outcomes of underfunding essential services: the Housing Trust Fund, assistance for the homeless, fire and police responsiveness, limited library services, and so much more. Although Measure I is criticized as being regressive in nature, the alternative to its passage — that is, drastic cuts to our essential services — will hit hardest on those members of our community most in need.

We are seeing positive changes in our city management and progress being made. Our new Administrator, Ms. Kelly McAdoo, has already displayed her open style of leadership, community engagement and communication, looking to offer practical solutions. There is also greater transparency with the budget and budgeting process.

The proceeds and expenditures of Measure I are required to be audited annually by an independent accounting firm and results will be discussed by the City Council at open, public meetings. The audit report must also be posted on the City’s website. In addition to this, we need accountability and community engagement. We must ask the city to have an oversight process involving key community stakeholders to actively engage in ensuring that the priorities in Measure I are being addressed, and any changes are community driven, and there is community support for how the city spends our money. Please vote YES for Measure I.

Celesta Billeci Receives Leadership in Arts Award

APILLAR OF THE ARTS COMMUNITY FOR 25 YEARS, Celesta M. Billeci, UCSB Arts & Lectures’ Miller McCune Executive Director, was honored with the Leadership in Arts Award, along with Award recipient the City of Santa Maria Recreation and Parks Department by the Santa Barbara County Office of Arts and Culture, at the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors meeting in the Betteravia Government Center on Tuesday.

Each year, the Arts and Culture Commission recognizes one individual and one organization during Arts & Humanities Month in October for their contributions in making a “significant impact on the arts and culture of our region through innovative thinking and exemplary commitment to promoting sustaining, and advancing our quality of life through the Arts”. A resolution formalizing the award was presented by the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors.

“Since taking the helm of UCSB Arts & Lectures in 2000, Celesta has transformed what was once a mostly campus-facing program into one of the largest and most respected public arts presenting programs in the nation,” shared the Commission in a statement on Billeci’s contributions over the past 25 years. “Her determination and passion is to present the best in the performing arts, public lectures, educational outreach programs and special events to audiences throughout Santa Barbara County. Arts & Lectures presented 75 public events, many of them free of charge, in 202324 and over 100 educational outreach programs. All of these are the result of Celesta’s personal commitment to serve the UCSB campus and the Santa Barbara community.”

The 2024 Leadership in Arts Award (for a business/organization) was awarded for the City of Santa Maria’s Public Art Master Plan and its dedication and commitment to increasing and supporting public art throughout the City.

“The City of Santa Maria has demonstrated a commitment to Public Art through the Public Art Master Plan, developed through communication and coordination between the City Council, the Planning Commission, local developers, arts and culture organizations, Alan Hancock College, Santa Barbara County and other stakeholders. The Public Art Master Plan, approved in 2019, is incorporated into the City’s Downtown Specific Plan, ensuring that the arts are a critical component in community planning and development.

“I appreciate the recognition as an individual, and I accept the honor on behalf of all the great people who have supported me and contributed to Arts & Lectures in the 25 years I have served as the organization’s Executive Director,” shared Billeci. “My hard-working and loyal staff, both present and past; the faculty, staff, administration, and students of UCSB; and the many members of the Santa Barbara community who have attended events and made contributions— thank you all from my heart.”

Billeci joined UCSB Arts & Lectures as executive director in 2000, coming over from UCLA Live. In her role, she has launched a number of community inclusive programs, such as Arts & Lecture’s Access for All initiative, providing dynamic learning experiences for K-12 students and lifelong learners, serving more than 30,000 students and community members annually. Other programs championed by Billeci include the Thematic Learning Initiative, the Speaking with Pico series featuring beloved writer Pico Iyer in conversation with acclaimed authors, artists and thinkers, and the Justice for All series addressing difficult societal challenges and exploring solutions for progress. Arts & Lectures, now in its 65th season, presents more than 100 events annually - from performances and talks to film screenings and educational programs for all ages

Billeci is the previous recipient of the Jerry Willis Leadership in Arts Award in 2015, and was recognized by the Santa Barbara Independent as a Local Hero in 2003. She was recognized again by the Independent in 2023 along with the Arts & Lectures team for Leadership in Performing Arts and Public Affairs.

“This award comes as we embark on the 65th anniversary season of UCSB Arts & Lectures, and it is my greatest hope that, 65 years from now, a new generation will be celebrating the continuing success of Arts & Lectures in educating, entertaining, and inspiring Santa Barbara,” said Billeci.

Flamenco Íntimo Night Moves at the Covarrubias Adobe

By Isaac Hernández de Lipa / VOICE

THE CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY OF FIESTA OLD SPANISH DAYS WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS AGO, but Santa Barbara’s already craving more flamenco… and the Covarrubias Adobe at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum (with Flamenco! Santa Barbara as co-host) never shies away from a good fiesta. Last Thursday, October 10, two sold-out shows delighted fans old and new.

The intimate, authentic flamenco tablao filled the stage at one end of the museum’s Spanish-era historical adobe with guitarra, cante, and zapateado, featuring different artists. The show was choreographed by María Bermúdez, Artistic Director of Flamenco! Santa Barbara.

Andrés Vadín, alumni of the Guillermo Tomas and Almadeo Roldan Conservatory in his hometown of Habana, Cuba, and collaborator on Latin Grammy-nominated albums, opened with a moving, elegant guitar solo. What a gift to the small audience!

Next it was Briseyda Zárate, a dancer, singer, and choreographer who’s performed in Spain on the Madrileño tablao circuit, including at the renowned Café de Chinitas, and as a regular at the T de Triana in Sevilla and at the Peña los Cernícalos in Jerez de la Frontera. She’s also choreographed Carmen for the LA Opera, and was honored to be part of the Fiesta de la Bulería de Jerez in 2019. Briseyda delighted aficionados with a taranto that sizzled with intense energy, building with every move.

Cantaor / singer Pepele Méndez, born in Jerez de la Frontera into the legendary Méndez clan, a dynasty of singers from La Plazuela, continued with a solo, before launching into a dramatic solea duet (in the first of the two shows).

Andrés performed another haunting guitar solo, before local artist Timo Núñez brought the roof down with his typical grace and power. Timo has performed around the world since the age of 14, winning multiple awards, dancing with Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, Carlos Santana and Debbie Allen among others. He’s also the director of Timo Nuñez Arte Flamenco, a Santa Barbara dance school, in collaboration with Maria Bermudez, to inspire the next generation.

Student dancers joined in for the Fin de Fiesta, crowding the stage with improvised bulerías in a delightful, festive whirl.

The Flamenco Intimo series is sponsored by the Schlinger Family Foundation with support from Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation and the Towbes Fund for Performing Arts.

Witnessing History in the Covarrubias Adobe

THE L-SHAPED COVARRUBIAS ADOBE, one of the oldest in the city, has four rooms, with the 55-foot long sala where Flamenco Intimo is performed as the largest. The original roof was tile, perhaps made at the Old Mission, supported by an underpinning of willow canes and mud. Unlike local custom, the 1817 home is not named after original owner Concepción Pico Carrillo, for whom her husband, Domingo Antonio Ignacio Carrillo, had the home built. Concepción, sister of Pío Pico (the last Mexican Governor of California) married Domingo in 1810, years before he became comandante of the Presidio de Santa Barbara.

In 1838, one of their daughters, María, married José María Covarrubias, who would become Pío Pico’s private secretary. After the US took rule in 1846, Covarrubias served as a delegate to the state constitutional convention, sat on the state legislature, and became a Santa Barbara County judge.

Sometime in the 1850s, ownership of the house was transferred to the Covarrubias family, who lived there until about 1910. In 1920, author John Southworth purchased the property. He constructed a concrete wall around and underneath the adobe walls to protect them. For a short time in the mid 1930s, the Covarrubias adobe became a restaurant and nightclub.

Los Rancheros Visitadores, the fraternal men’s riding group that included Ronald Reagan, purchased it in 1938, and two years later rebuilt it, adding buttressing the west and south walls. Joseph Plunkett, designer of the Arlington Theatre, and Charles Urton, builder of the Granada Building, supervised the work.

Over the years, it served as home to the British War Relief Society, the SB Chamber of Commerce, Old Spanish Days, and the office of the Santa Barbara National Horse and Flower Show. The adobe was declared a California State Historical Landmark in 1959. It’s a Santa Barbara City Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1964, the Santa Barbara Historical Society bought both the Covarrubias and the historic adobe next door. Now it’s a preferred location for flamenco, parties and weddings.

Freedom, Safety & Peace

For sixteen years, Domestic Violence Solutions has brought Santa Barbarans together, in solidarity with and support for survivors of domestic abuse

By Isaac Hernández de Lipa / VOICE

DOMESTIC

VIOLENCE SOLUTIONS

CELEBRATED A SOLD-OUT 16TH ANNUAL DVS LUNCHEON at the Santa Barbara Hilton Beachside Resort on Sunday, October 13th with passion for their cause and free tissues for every one of the 264 attendees. The emotional event showcased the unwavering community support for survivors of domestic violence and highlighted key efforts in advocacy and support.

This year’s luncheon honored Marsha Marcoe with the Hannah-Beth Jackson Impact Award for her dedication and advocacy for survivors of domestic violence. She has made a significant impact in the community, and her recognition was further commemorated with certificates of recognition from Assemblymember Gregg Hart and Supervisor Laura Capps.

DVS also honored Clinical Director Carolina Nájera-Magaña for her decade of dedication to the organization, underscoring the importance of long-term commitment to advocacy efforts.

The highlight of the evening was the panel moderated by Candice Tang Nyholt, with Nájera-Magaña and local survivor Lala. Candice shared her personal story of losing her sister Alexandria to domestic violence. Carolina educated attendees about the physiological effects of domestic violence and offered valuable insights on how to support loved ones who may be suffering. Lala shared her transformative experience, describing her ‘awe’ wake-up moment when she realized that she no longer had to live in violence after utilizing DVS services. This discussion aimed to provide a deeper understanding of domestic violence through personal narratives and explore its psychological aspects.

Following the discussion, a video featuring Lala and her son Gabriel, (which I produced) was screened. See the video at: https://bit.ly/DVSImpact2024

The event raised over $130,000, with $70,000 of it from the paddle raise, and additional funds from a live and a silent auction.

“We are profoundly grateful to everyone who attended and supported this crucial cause,” said DVS Executive Director Ken Oplinger. “The enthusiasm and generosity displayed at this year’s luncheon reflect the community’s commitment to creating a safer environment for survivors and their families.”

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. DVS is hosting two Hope & Healing Artwork workshops, where participants will have the chance to weave a tapestry similar to the one showcased at the event while engaging in a therapeutic art session. The workshops are open to all, but registration is required through Eventbrite.

“The support we received from our attendees, sponsors, and community partners made this event a resounding success,” said Dr. Mark Juretic, Event Chair. “Together, we are making a difference in the lives of those affected by domestic violence.”

Funds raised will help DVS offer round-the-clock crisis support and emergency confidential shelter for survivors and their children. Within

receive essential emotional support,

U.S. Growth Full Speed Ahead – Part II

By Harlan Green / Special to VOICE

THE SEPTEMBER CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI) continued to decline, further evidence that the inflation battle has been won. All eyes are now on whether strong economic growth can continue with the labor market beginning to falter, which the Fed has said is a primary concern.

An early sign of labor weakness is that the weekly initial claims for unemployment has risen. The number of Americans who applied for unemployment benefits surged by 33,000 to 258,000 in the week that ended October 5th, the Labor Department said on Thursday. This is the highest level of initial claims since early August 2023.

Some of the increase may be due to one-off events like the Boeing strike and hurricanes ravaging the East Coast. But that’s another reason the Fed should continue to cut interest rates for consumers that are facing uncertain futures, whether it’s more frequent natural disasters as our planet continues to warm, or future labor unrest.

Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams said recently that it was now time to help the labor market.

The FOMC “instituted and maintained a very restrictive monetary policy stance until the data gave us confidence that inflation is sustainably on course to two percent,” Williams said. “With this progress toward achieving price stability, moving toward a more neutral monetary policy stance will help maintain the strength of the economy and labor market.”

ECONOMIC VOICE

By Harlan Green

Williams predicted what more balanced growth would look like: “Real GDP to grow between 2-1/4 and 2-1/2 percent this year and to average about 2-1/4 percent over the next two years.”

“The unemployment rate to edge up from its current level of about four percent to around 4-1/4 percent at the end of this year and stay around that level next year.”

In September, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers rose 0.2 percent, seasonally adjusted, and rose 2.4 percent over the last twelve months, not seasonally adjusted. The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.3 percent in September (SA); up 3.3 percent over the year (NSA), said the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Up just 2.4 percent in a year, retail inflation has reached the Fed’s target rate, for all intents and purposes. Continuing to hold interest rates too high for too long could precipitate more job losses.

I reported another important fact last week. The BEA said that profits from current production (corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments) almost doubled in the final revision. So strong economic growth continues as inflation is declining.

Even more optimistic predictions for third quarter growth come from the Atlanta Federal Reserve GDPNow estimate.

The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2024 is 3.2 percent on October 9th, unchanged from October 8th after rounding. After the recent wholesale trade release from the U.S. Census Bureau, the nowcast of third-quarter real gross private domestic investment growth decreased from

3.4 percent to 3.3 percent.

Why has job growth been so high, even with the Fed’s restrictive credit policies for the past two years? A grand total of 256,000 jobs were added to nonfarm payrolls in September.

September’s unemployment report showed governments and the construction industry created 56,000 new jobs. These are largely jobs in rebuilding our infrastructure, a product of Bidenomics. Another 156,000 jobs were added in Leisure/ Hospitality, Education, and Healthcare.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), aka Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), was signed into law by President Biden on November 15, 2021. The law authorizes $1.2 trillion for transportation and infrastructure spending with $550 billion of that figure going toward “new” investments and programs.

Need we say more on what is continuing to power economic growth?

A Day of Seafood Fun in the Harbor

By Sigrid Toye / VOICE

THIS IS THE AUTUMN

WEEKEND TO HEAD ON

DOWN to our beautiful harbor and celebrate the Santa Barbara Channel and its seafood bounty! For one full day, on Saturday, October 19th, from 10 to 5pm, the annual Santa Barbara Harbor & Seafood Festival invites visitors to enjoy a variety of seafood, shopping, entertainment, and marine related activities for this, its 21st year. One of our harbor community’s most cherished events, the festival is timed to celebrate the opening of lobster season, and showcases fresh, regional seafood in addition to live music, maritime education, free boat rides, children’s activities, vessel tours, merchant goodies, and more. There’s fun to be had for all ages!

“It’s looking like sunny skies and lights winds for the event!” exclaimed Santa Barbara Waterfront Department Director, Mike Wiltshire. “This year we will be setting up lots more seating and tables for everyone to enjoy some delicious fresh seafood and live music. Also, we’ll be expanding the event out to the grassy area by the coral trees where a number of non-profit booths will be setup.”

The interactive day reminds visitors and locals alike that the Santa Barbara Harbor is a working harbor where more than 100 commercial fishermen land millions of pounds of seafood each year, adding $30 million to the local economy and beyond. This yearly, always well-attended, event is an opportunity for visitors to meet local fisherman and to select local fresh-caught lobster, crab, and sea urchin. Not only that, but there are booths stationed all over the harbor offering fish tacos, oysters, mussels, barbecued albacore, clam chowder, seafood paella, and more. Yummm!

Wait… there’s more! Live music will float in the air courtesy of Juan Dolor, Spencer the Gardner, and Cornerstone on the main stage as guests shop for a variety of art, clothing, and other unique gifts while noshing on the fisherman’s offerings. Free vessel tours aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Blackfin and the Tall Ship Mystic Whaler, as well as harbor boat rides aboard Celebration Cruises’ Azures Seas and Whisper, and SunSwept Sailing’s Kelpie.

A little history… there always is history in Santa Barbara! Decades ago, an annual Fishermen’s Festival featured a “Blessing of the Fleet,” plus a parade of fishing boats packed with people and covered in flowers and streamers. Eventually, this tradition faded, replaced by an annual Harbor Festival designed as

a fundraiser. Although successful for years, the festival ultimately fell on hard times in the late 1990s and was scrapped for a couple of years. Reinvented once again in 2002 it was moved from Spring to the Fall season and altered to make local fisheries a cornerstone of the event. Today, the annual Harbor and Seafood Festival, held on the third Saturday in October, draws thousands of people to the Waterfront from up and down the coast of California.

The Santa Barbara Harbor & Seafood Festival is presented by the City of Santa Barbara Waterfront Department, Commercial Fishermen of Santa Barbara, Inc., and the Santa Barbara Harbor Merchants’ Association, along with various community partners and volunteers.

Wiltshire and his team work to make the already mega-successful event even better every year.

“I’ll be in the Waterfront Albacore Tuna booth prepping and selling delicious BBQ albacore plates,” added Wiltshire, “can’t wait for Saturday.”

Me too! Hope to see you there...

Artist Receptions to Celebrate Special Exhibitions in La Cumbre’s Gallery Row

By Destin Cavazos / VOICE

GALLERIES GALORE WILL SHOW THEIR WORKS THIS WEEKEND at La Cumbre Plaza’s growing Gallery Row.

Launching the event will be a special 3rd Friday presented by The La Cumbre Center for Creative Arts and VOICE Gallery that will bring together two exhibitions for a night of art in La Cumbre Plaza. Highlighting the newest works from painter Jeremy Hubbell and photographer Rod Rolle, the Illuminations, Elevate, and Fine Line Galleries will be open to the public, with an opening reception to kick off the exhibitions on Friday, October 18th, from 5 to 8pm.

Featured at The Fine Line Gallery is the opening of Jeremy Hubball’s one week show Kaleidoscope. The exhibition includes 24 vibrant landscapes that explore the intersection of sky, water, and land. With an eye for bold images and bright colors, Hubball explores the natural world through an abstract lens, carefully applying shapes and shades to represent these natural vistas as a world untouched by human influence.

“In an increasingly frenzied and simulated world, my concentration on landscape is a turn back to that which precedes us and will survive us,” shared Hubball in his artist statement. “I feature the fugitive nature of sky and water by exaggerating their fleeting forms and endowing them with vibrant hues. I search out each landscape’s story to convey its singular sense of place. By redirecting our gaze to these unspoiled, uninhabited places, we remind ourselves of our origins and responsibilities.”

Throughout his life,

the artist cites three passions which inform his work: exploring wilderness; creating art; and working to improve the health and education of children in under-resourced communities. Hubball, who is scheduled to earn his Masters in Fine Arts in Painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2024, imbues his works with the experience he’s gained on his travels to remote landscapes around the globe, from the middle of oceans to the highest mountaintops on five continents. The looming power that nature holds over the world of humankind is present in each painting, prompting audiences to reflect on their place in the greater landscape.

“We all carry landscapes with us, personal landscapes,” said Hubball.“Even if you’ve lived in a city all your life, there’s some recognition in nature. If I can spark something in the viewer that reminds them of that connection to nature and to landscapes, my hope is that they become more aware of their responsibility to the natural world.”

Hubball’s exhibition runs through Thursday, October 24th.

A few doors down at Elevate Gallery, photographer Rod Rolle will present his most recent work, Great Seal of the Navajo Nation: Monument Valley. The exhibition chronicles his cross-country road trip, which took Rolle through 23 states and Toronto, Canada over the course of five weeks. Spurred by personal and family commitments, Rolle explored the natural landscapes of the region known as “Flyover Country, USA,” taking this time to capture the spirit and beauty of Monument Valley, home to the Navajo Nation.

“I was stopped in Flagstaff, and a friend of mine suggested I check out the Grand Canyon,” said Rolle. “But I really wanted to go to Monument Valley, more than the Grand Canyon. I used to dream about Monument Valley, so seeing it in person was literally a dream come true.”

The title of the exhibition refers to a statue of three Navajo natives that stands beside a stone carved seal near the entrance to Monument Valley, a landmark that Rolle admitted was harder to find than his Air BNB hosts had mentioned in their directions. Upon finding the figures on his third or fourth drive past, the photographer said he instantly resonated with the image and was compelled to snap a shot.

“I did some research on the seal, and it symbolizes the sovereignty and strength of the Navajo people,” explained Rolle. “With the monument in the background, I think the photo really captures that.”

In addition to the featured exhibitions, receptions will also be held at Elevate and VOICE Galleries, showcasing work by LCCCA Artists and the Goleta Valley Art Association.

Arts Foundation Returns for Another Artful Affair

SHOWCASING SOME OF THE MOST TALENTED IN ARTISTS IN TOWN, the Art Foundation of Santa Barbara invites the community to join them for their 3rd annual Artful Affair at Riven Rock on Sunday October 20th, from 3 to 5pm.

Hosted in the home and gardens of Foundation President, Frank McGinity, the event will feature twelve local artists,including Ralph Waterhouse, Willis Heaton, Ray Hunter, Kevin Gleason, rick Garcia, Nina Warner, Rick Delanty, Craig Nelson, Ann Sanders, Annie Hoffman, Andrea Anderson, Chloe Hourdequin, and Danuta Bennett.

Guests will have the opportunity to meet

the artists, learn about their work, and show support for local talent, as well as enjoy hors d’oeuvres and wines catered by the Santa Barbara Club. The afternoon will also feature live “quick draws” from Waterhouse and Heaton, which will be auctioned off at the event.

The Art Foundation has offered programs and tours to educate the public on the heritage of California art and the artists who created these works, as well as inspired local artists to enlarge upon that heritage by providing special events to showcase their works.

The Foundation also holds a significant collection of art and exhibits its collection at the Santa Barbara Club, open once a year to educational institutions, various public groups, and other civic organizations.
