Chenoweth Returns To Perform at The Granada on the Heels of

Kristin Chenoweth will play The Granada Theatre at 7pm November 5th

W

ITH A VOICE THAT FILLS THE GRANADA THEATRE with crisp inviting music, Kristin Chenoweth returns to Santa Barbara to perform a rollicking Cabaret called For the Girls, paying tribute to great women singers.

Hosted by UCSB Arts & Lectures, the performance is set for November 5th at 7pm.

“I hope audiences, when they hear For The Girls, are reminded of the greatest female singers of our time,” said Chenoweth in a Playbill.com video about the show.

Chenoweth has performed to soldout audiences across the world, including at Carnegie Hall and Royal Albert Hall.

As the originator of the role Glinda in Wicked, Chenoweth is currently celebrating the 20th anniversary of opening the century’s most successful Broadway show.

Her Wicked Anniversary

In 2015, Chenoweth earned a Drama Desk Award, Outer Critics Circle Award, and Broadway.com Audience Choice Award for her lead role in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s On the Twentieth Century. She also earned nominations for a Tony Award and a Drama League Award. Chenoweth is slated to star as Madeline in the musical comedy Death Becomes Her, an in-the-works adaptation of the 1992 film directed by Robert Zemeckis.

Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin) has said that he wrote the Glinda part

for Chenoweth, who in turn has blessed Ariana Grande’s upcoming Glinda portrayal in the 2024 movie.

such iconic artists as Barbra Streisand, Lesley Gore, Linda Ronstadt, Dinah Washington, Dolly Parton, and more.

Chenoweth is an Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress and singer who was born and raised in Oklahoma, where she studied opera. Her career spans film, television, voiceover, and stage. She received a Tony Award for her performance as Sally Brown in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown in 1999.

This performance promises to be an amplification of the album with Chenoweth fêting the voices and women who went before and who are still kicking up their heels and singing!

In 2015, Chenoweth received a coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

“With her charming and conspiratorial style, Chenoweth cultivates a warm and intimate atmosphere, telling stories and joking with her band and backup singers, wrote The New York Times. “For the Girls… exudes the snuggly promise of a slumber party.”

Her album For The Girls is a heartfelt tribute to the great female singers throughout history, particularly some of the star’s own heroes and friends. Guest artists include Ariana Grande, Dolly Parton, Jennifer Hudson, and Reba McEntire. The album includes Chenoweth’s personally charged interpretations of classic songs identified with

A multi-talented person, Chenoweth is the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir, A Little Bit Wicked: Life, Love, and Faith in Stages published in 2009, and the children’s picture book, What Will I Do with My Love Today?, published in 2022.

Her most recent writing effort, I’m No Philosopher, But I Got Thoughts, an inspiring high-design, colorful book featuring philosophical-ish musings on connection, creativity, loss, love, and closure is soon to be published.

Chenoweth is a graduate of Oklahoma City University with a Master’s degree in Opera Performance. She is an inductee into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, as well as the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame.

On the small screen, Chenoweth starred in the second season of NBC’s hit comedy series Trial & Error, receiving critical acclaim for her performance as heiress Lavinia Peck-Foster. She was seen in the Starz original series American Gods, where she reunited with executive producer Bryan Fuller in the role of Easter.

She is also well known for her roles on NBC’s The West Wing, Fox’s Glee, and Apple TV+’s Schmigadoon! as well as appearances in Disney’s Descendants, and The Muppets.

For Granada Wicked fans, the concert will be the chance to spend the evening with their original Glinda and celebrate the show’s 20th anniversary.

Kristin Chenoweth is presented

Santa Barbara Channel Designated

Whale Heritage Area W “Whale Heritage Areas are becoming the gold standard for responsible whale watching designations worldwide,” said Jean-Michel Cousteau, President and CEO, Ocean Futures Society and Honorary President of World Cetacean Alliance.

“But they also have so much more to offer. By interweaving natural and cultural elements and placing communities at their very heart, these areas will become places where people respect, celebrate, and protect cetaceans and their ocean home long into the future. I am very excited to finally have one of these Whale Hiroko Benko, Co-Director of the area Heritage Areas in my hometown of Santa Barbara.”

Holly Lohuis, Co-Director of the area

Jean-Michel Cousteau, President and CEO, Ocean Futures Society

The Santa Barbara Channel, internationally recognized for marine reserves and its ecosystems, has long been home for over 25 different species of cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) including resident common dolphins and bottlenose dolphins, plus visiting species of dolphins: Risso’s dolphins, Pacific white-sided dolphins, Dall’s porpoises, and occasionally Orcas.

Larger whales, like Blue Whales, Fin Whales, and Humpback Whales feed seasonally in the Santa Barbara Channel. Also, more than 15,000 Pacific Gray Whales migrate through the channel on their way to their breeding grounds in Baja, Mexico in the winter and their feeding grounds in the Arctic in the summer.

“I am thrilled that the Whale Heritage Area has come to fruition, especially because my late husband, Fred Benko, first promoted the Santa Barbara Channel as a safe whale watching destnation,” said Hiroko Benko, owner of the Condor Express, and co-director of the aera.

“World Animal Protection and our partners are breaking new ground Greg Gorga, Exec. in the world of responsible and Director SB Maritime Museum sustainable tourism,” shared Cameron Harsh, U.S. director of programs for World Animal Protection. “Now travelers will be able to discover amazing destinations for responsibly seeing animals in the wild—one of which we are proud to say is right here in the U.S. The Santa

Barbara community is making the protection of wild animals and their homes a clear priority for local tourism, and it is our hope that many other places across the U.S. follow their lead.”

According to both organizations, the designation highlights the region’s commitment to promoting responsible ecotourism, providing more ocean educational opportunities, supporting on-going research and conservation efforts, and honoring the timeless cultural connection we have to whales. Together these two organizations have launched a new global program, Wildlife Heritage Areas, as the larger initiative to support a coalition of responsible travel businesses with wildlife conservation.

“Whales have the power to touch our hearts, inspire our minds, and deepen our connection to the natural world,” said Holly Lohuis, co-director of SBCWHA, a local naturalist and marine educator with Island Packers, Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, and Ocean Futures Society. “By appreciating and protecting these magnificent creatures, our hope is we not only enhance their lives but also cultivate our own sense of empathy, wonder, and responsibility towards the planet we share.”

“The Santa Barbara Channel Whale Heritage Area aims to honor our cultural connection to whales – past, present, and future.

Deep-rooted in the local human history and mythology, whales hold significant cultural and spiritual significance, starting with the Chumash, the first known mariners in our local waters,” reads an announcement from the SBCWHA. Co-directors of the Santa Barbara Channel Whale Heritage Area are Hiroko Benko and Holly Lohuis.

Retail Sales Will Save Us

T

By Harlan Green, Special to VOICE

HE DEBATE IS RAGING on whether the Fed will begin to lower their shortterm rates in time to prevent a recession. A number of pundits and economists, such as Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman, have said the inflation battle has been won. And most Fed Governors are now saying they should not raise interest rates any higher.

The problem is the bond market doesn’t’ believe so, even believes the latest robust economic data show growth not slowing enough to pacify the Fed, hence 10-year and 30-year bond yields are soaring above four percent and fixed mortgage rates above seven percent in the expectation that the Fed will cause a recession.

VOICE

By Harlan Green

https://myf.red.1agF7

Economic

Well, retail sales might save us from a recession.

Sales are surging, far above consensus estimates, recovering from negative sales growth in February and March 2023. Consumers are supposed to slow spending when the Fed raises the cost of borrowing, aren’t they? What is going on?

I said last week economic growth is increasing because there has been a huge surge in job formation—336,000 new jobs in September alone with higher revisions in the past two months. And wages are now rising faster than inflation for the first time in years, so why wouldn’t consumers want to spend with the upcoming holidays?

“Advance estimates of U.S. retail and food services sales for September 2023, adjusted for seasonal variation and holiday and trading-day differences, but not for price changes, were $704.9 billion, up 0.7 percent (±0.5 percent) from the previous month, and up 3.8 percent (±0.7 percent) above September 2022,” said the Census Bureau’s press release.

And we have the Atlanta Fed in its latest forecast saying, “The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2023 is 5.1 percent on October 10, up from 4.9 percent on October 5. The consensus for Q3 economic GDP growth is a bit lower, probably in the 3-4 percent range.

I maintain there’s also another reason, a rise in what is called multifactor productivity, which measures capital inputs (machines, new technologies) as well as labor productivity, and it is soaring per the below FRED graph. It rose to 3.6 percent in 2021 from zero in 2020. This will create a greater supply of things, which puts downward pressure on prices, as do more workers producing more.

Is it because of the increased use of AI, which is a capital input? That’s too soon to know, but Doctors are already reporting more accurate diagnoses using AI to quickly find bad genes to determine what should be done with a cancer tumor.

https://myf.red.1agzS

“Over the last decade, the supply chain landscape has witnessed a transformative evolution, largely propelled by technological advancements. Such innovations as AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain and sophisticated data analytics have automated and optimized various aspects of supply management,” said an Institute for Supply Management article on automation.

Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara Accepting Applications for 2024-25

A

PPLICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL AID for the 2024-2025 academic year are now being accepted by the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara.

Eligibility requirements and application instructions are available online at www.sbscholarship.org.

The Scholarship Foundation reviewed 3,477 applications during its recently concluded scholarship awards cycle. In May, the organization awarded nearly $7.2 million in scholarships to 1,864 Santa Barbara County students. Scholarship awards for undergraduates at four-year schools averaged $3,331; graduate student awards (excluding those for medical school) averaged $6,080. The Scholarship Foundation also supports students pursuing vocational training.

“Our scholarships are increasingly important to students and families planning for college. Applicants who have questions or need assistance are encouraged to seek out our knowledgeable program advisors. They are an excellent resource for residents throughout the county,” said Scholarship Foundation President and CEO Melinda Cabrera.

The deadline to apply for financial aid from the Scholarship Foundation is January 31st, 2024. www.sbscholarship.org

The real key to staying fully employed while taming inflationary surges is also to avoid too much geopolitical uncertainty (wars), and preparing better for future pandemics that disrupt said supply chains.

Music Academy Fellows To Travel & Perform In London FF TO LONDON THIS FALL, twelve Music Academy Fellows have been chosen to perform with the London Symphony Orchestra as part of an exchange called 12 MAX. The lucky travelers were adjudicated from 72 instrumental fellows who auditioned.

“Music Academy makes an unparalleled investment in the creative futures of its fellows and alums through these competitions. In addition to significant financial support, awardees receive unique, educational experiences and careeradvancing opportunities,” commented Jamie Broumas, Music Academy Chief Artistic Officer.

Five LSO guest musicians David Cohen, Gareth Davies, Clare Duckworth, Peter Moore, and Nigel Thomas worked with the fellows in person this summer and held the auditions.

The Music Academy will send the cohort to London this fall to train and perform alongside the LSO. The intensive, ten-day residency includes lessons and coaching with LSO members.

Each fellow receives a $1,500 award, plus travel, housing, and meals. They will perform under the baton of Susanna Mälkki at the Barbican Centre on November 30th and December 3rd.

The Music Academy and the London Symphony Orchestra have had a vibrant partnership spanning six years. This transatlantic collaboration has provided 75 Music Academy alums with an opportunity to work with some of the world’s top conductors, perform side by side with LSO musicians, experience the European approach to music making, and share best practices in education and community engagement.

Mary La Blanc, who is one of the 12 MAX fellows, agreed to answer a few questions about her experience with the Academy so far.

VOICE: What is your favorite piece in the percussion repertoire?

Mary La Blanc: The first percussion chamber music piece I ever performed in middle school was Steve Reich’s Music for Pieces of Wood, so that will always hold a dear place in my heart.

Reich was my first introduction to minimalism, and it taught

me at a young age the importance of internal pulse, groove, and the concept of viewing time from multiple perspectives. His music is still some of my favorite to perform today.

VOICE: What are you looking forward to in London with the LSO? What do you hope to get from the experience?

VOICE: Do you draw inspiration from any particular percussionists?

La Blanc: So many! Too many to name here, in fact. I will say that I actively sought out the percussionists I admired to be my teachers. Being from California, I always looked up to the musicians of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and I was lucky enough to be able to study with Jim Babor and Joe Pereira for my undergraduate degree. My equal admiration for the Mary La Blanc New York Philharmonic brought me to study at Juilliard, where I’m able to work with Dan Druckman, Markus Rhoten, and Greg Zuber.

By Mark Whitehurst / VOICE

VOICE: Do you have a mentor? If so, how did this relationship develop or begin?

La Blanc: My current mentor would be my primary teacher at Juilliard, Dan Druckman. I am now in my second year studying with him, and he continually inspires me. His relentless attention to the smallest details can really bring out the character of any passage. He is always searching for the right sound - whether that’s the right stick, the right instrument, or the right touch - to bring a piece to life. That’s something I strive to achieve in my own playing.

VOICE: Is there a special moment performing that you could share with us?

La Blanc: It is always a special moment when you can share the stage with your faculty members. This past summer at Music Academy, there were several concerts where Mike Werner joined us in the section. One of them was Holst’s The Planets, where I played Timpani I. It’s always such a fun part to play!

La Blanc: I had a wonderful time over my last two summers at Music Academy getting to know Nigel Thomas and Neil Percy from the LSO, so I look forward to meeting the rest of the percussion section and seeing how they play as a unit.

I also look forward to working with Susanna Mälkki. I’ve seen numerous of her performances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, so it will be an exciting experience to be on the other side of the baton.

VOICE: Is there a recording that you return to for inspiration?

La Blanc: John Williams’ music always inspires me, and it’s hard to beat the original LSO recording of Star Wars. I’m sure that recording has played a large role in many of our childhoods, and it will be such an amazing experience to share the stage with the orchestra that recorded it.

VOICE: How has your experience with the Music Academy shaped you as a performer and shaped your career?

La Blanc: Music Academy not only provided me with ample performance opportunities and lessons with top faculty within the festival, but also allowed me to create lasting connections with fellows that have blossomed into new projects. I have multiple projects upcoming in the spring, including my graduation recital, which will involve multiple Music Academy alumni.

Support for the London Symphony Orchestra partnership has been provided in part by Linda and Michael Keston.

Program to Help Seniors Build Skills for Self-Sufficiency

S

ENIORS HAVE A NEW RESOURCE TO HELP THEM RETAIN THEIR INDEPENDENCE, increase social interaction, and improve quality of life. Family Service Agency (FSA) has launched the innovative Program to Encourage Active, Rewarding Lives (PEARLS) to enhance older adults’ well-being. PEARLS aims to empower individuals with the skills and tools they need to thrive. PEARLS is free to Santa Barbara County residents 60 and older and is operated by FSA, which includes the Santa Maria Valley Youth & Family Center, and the Little House by the Park.

The program focuses on helping participants increase successful problemsolving, enabling them to approach life’s difficulties with greater confidence, and effectiveness. PEARLS offers personalized support, allowing participants to work with trained professionals (coaches) who tailor their guidance to the senior’s unique needs and circumstances. Conversations take place in an older adult’s home or a community-based setting that is more

accessible and comfortable for the senior.

PEARLS also allows for coordination with their current health care providers where appropriate.

PEARLS is modeled after the original PEARLS program developed by the University of Washington. Funding is provided through a grant from the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC).

Harding University Partnership School Receives National Certification for Outdoor Classroom

T

By Ed Zuchelli / SB Unified

HE OUTDOOR CLASSROOM AT HARDING UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP SCHOOL (HUPS) was named a Certified Nature Explore Classroom. The award was presented after HUPS opened its new outdoor learning space last spring. The project transformed an old interior playground into a rich outdoor classroom that features a pollinator garden, a stage, an art zone, a balance zone, and a construction zone, along with other features that encourage learning through exploration.

The new certification was awarded by the Nature Explore program, which is a division of the nonprofit Dimensions Educational Research Foundation. In conjunction with the Harding Makerspace, the newly certified Nature Explore Classroom offers young students a variety of interactive elements that build creativity, imagination, and innovation while developing a depth of knowledge in environmental literacy.

“This project represents all the possibilities that span the Cities of Santa Barbara and Goleta.

Students are born as natural scientists, and as they grow and develop, educators nurture this curiosity and facilitate their critical thinking and development,” said Dr. Hilda Maldonado, superintendent.

Harding University Partnership School’s Nature Explore Classroom was a vision created by a team of master educators, UCSB researchers, and landscape architects in response to the documented growing disconnect between children and nature.

“The positive impact on students can already be seen at HUPS as they work and play together using observation, language and student agency in creating additions to their outdoor environment,” principal Veronica Binkley.

Harding joins an ever-expanding network of more than 500 like-minded Outdoor Classrooms nationwide.

Harbor & Seafood Fest a Hit!

T

By Sigrid Toye, Special to VOICE

ALK ABOUT POPULAR CROWDED ATTRACTIONS... last weekend’s yearly Harbor and Seafood Festival was one spectacular event judging by the reams of visitors that flooded the Santa Barbara Harbor. Although I’ve been covering this event for many years, I have never, EVER seen so many people as I did on the glorious sunny day of Saturday, October 21st. Arriving from Ventura, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara counties – and farther as one happy seafood lover from Los Angeles revealed - this family event seemed to be the ‘go-to’ place to see and be seen!

Opportunities to sample local seafood were located everywhere in the harbor offering a selection of lobster, crab, prawns, sea urchins, and a variety of fish from the Channel ,as well as a few additional surprises from out of town - ‘gator’ and frog legs (believe it or not!). People were clamoring at each stand for their share of the bounty and, of course, lined up around the ice cream stand for a tall cone as dessert.

the World Cetacean Alliance and the World Animal Protection as the 9th Whale Heritage (Site) Area in the world, and only the 2nd in the United States, officially as the Santa Barbara Channel Whale Heritage Area (SBCWHA).

Read more about SBCWHA in this issue on page 9. This designation highlights Santa Barbara’s commitment to promoting responsible ecotourism, providing more ocean educational opportunities, supporting on-going research, and honoring the timeless cultural connection the California coast has to whales and their protection.

Stay tuned for more about SBCWHA activities. www.sbwhaleheritage.org 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. Send Harbor tips to: Itssigrid@gmail.com

From my vantage point, the greatest problem of the day was where to sit while noshing fresh seafood, as every wall along the walkway was bumper-to-bumper with happy eaters. Those unseated unfortunates spooned the tasty treats on the hoof.

Nonetheless, all had smiles on their faces with or without seating!

As I wandered along the harbor ogling the various displays my eye caught a Harbor Patrol boat aside the dock welcoming visitors. Three friendly greeters standing on deck described what it was like to serve and protect our Santa Barbara waterfront.

Officer Stella Nicodemus summed it up for all three: “This is a wonderful place to be, something I always wanted to do.”

Nicodemus began as a life guard and later acted as crew on a Harbor Patrol boat. She eventually joined the Patrol as an officer, a position crew member Alex Szymczak hopes to achieve as well.

To the tune of Cornerstone, a live band, I sauntered through stalls filled with a variety of items such as hats, clothing, tie died t-shirts, jewelry, and other irresistible (to me) merchandise.

“This is an event we never miss,” exclaimed a couple from Ventura trying on hats at one of the booths. “Every year it gets better and better!” They hadn’t an argument from me nor apparently the thousands of attendees at this year’s harbor celebration.

As promised several weeks ago, this column is proud to report that, as of October 20th of this year, the Santa Barbara Channel has been accepted by

State Street Ballet’s

Sublime Giselle

V

By Daniel Kepl / Special to VOICE

State Street Ballet’s principal cast were powerful acting dancers. Their individual technique superb, sometimes stunning, always a perfection of detailed classical ballet movement.

The nearly lost art of mid-nineteenth century mime was also masterfully achieved, with touching period elegance. No time or space to break out Blasis’s Traité élèmentaire, théorique et pratique de l’art de la danse (1820) to enunciate details. Suffice to say Nerea Barrondo (Giselle), Ryan Lenkey (Count Albrecht), Noam Tsivkin (Hilarion), Denise Grimm (Berthe), Tanner Blee (Duke of Courtland), Kaia Abraham (Bathilde), and Sergei Domrachev (Wilfred) honored Giselle with their amazing virtuosity. Ditto, Marika Kobayashi and Harold Mendez (Peasant Pas de deux), and a truly impressive State Street Ballet corps de ballet.

The original choreography for Giselle was created by Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot. The ballet has been such a success over the last 180+ years a slew of choreographers like Marius Petipa have tinkered with their own versions - high compliment. Even the music is not entirely Adam’s (the Peasant Pas de deux). Yet Giselle has remained solid as an abiding masterpiece – the marvelous arc of its original Coralli/Perrot structure remains essentially unchanged. Last Sunday’s performance by State Street Ballet was gorgeous, thrilling in execution, and staged by Marina Fliagina, Chauncey Parsons, and Megan Philipp with skill and discipline. Nicole Thompson’s costume design was exactly what the music told us to imagine, abetted by Samantha Jelinek’s obliging lighting design and the functional sets of Rolf Freeman, and Inland Pacific Ballet.

For the first time, the Santa Barbara Symphony was in the Granada Theatre’s orchestra pit for State Street Ballet’s season opening performances of Adolphe Adam’s pantomime ballet from

IRTUOSO PERFORMANCES MASTERFULLY UNFOLDED the time honored narrative of the ballet Giselle, under the direction of Megan Philipp, State Street Ballet Artistic Director. It was a superb curation of Adolphe Adam’s masterpiece with breathtaking attention to choreographic detail.

1841, Giselle. The Symphony’s Music and Artistic Director Nir Kabaretti was at the helm, and the result was collaborative heaven, with performance fireworks.

No stranger to Europe’s great opera houses over the years - Vienna, Madrid, Milan, Florence, Rome, and most recently the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm - maestro Kabaratti has conducted Giselle on several occasions, and it showed at last Sunday’s performance. The artistic confidence of both orchestra and dancers alike was palpable. Clearly relaxed, Kabaretti was also incredibly energized, a magical energy that redounded to the benefit of the audience as well as the artists – a clear command of his forces.

Santa Barbara Botanic Garden

Depth of Field:

Botanical Photography Through the Low-key Lens

T

HOUGH ORIGINALLY TAKEN FOR SCIENTIFIC PURPOSES, the images of California native plants in a new exhibit at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden’s Gallery were photographed using a specialized technique that created dramatic portraits against a black background. Depth of Field: Botanical Photography Through the Low-key Lens features images taken over a period of fifty years by eight photographers using the “low-key” technique to document species in the field. The 41 giclee prints were made from color slides chosen among the thousands stored in the Garden’s archives, and reveal an artistic aesthetic in composition, contrast, and detail.

Depth of Field is on view in the Garden’s Pritzlaff Conservation Center Gallery daily from 10am to 5pm through December 9th, and is free with Garden admission.

“Despite the scientific nature of the photos, they demonstrate the photographer’s creative agency in their distinctive and often uncanny

By Betty Randall Potts, White bear poppy composition,” shared Garden Archivist Hannah Barton, who co-curated the exhibit with Interpretation and Exhibitions Curator Kevin Spracher. “The resulting images remind us to ask, what motivates the photographer, scientist, and artist in the first place? These perspectives mark an invitation into the striking beauty of California’s flora.”

The “low-key” technique combines an underexposed photo with a bright light, in this case a flash, to illuminate the closeup plant while the background remains dark. The technique is still used by photographers today, but digital cameras and sophisticated photo apps have generally replaced slide film and traditional photo developing methods.

“The beauty of this aesthetic is that such striking images of plants can be taken outside in broad daylight. The results are so uncanny that many viewers are surprised that the photos weren’t taken at night or in a studio,” Spracher explained.

Steve Junak, also featured in this exhibition, were both students of Haller’s at UCSB. Steve Junak served as a botanical instructor and then as curator of the Clifton Smith Herbarium in his 37-year career at the Garden. He is botanist emeritus and a current research associate. An expert on the flora of the Islands of the Californias, he continues to lead Garden field trips to the Channel Islands. To date, he has contributed over 12,000 images to the Garden’s Archive.

Reid Moran, Ph.D., (1916–2010) began his career at the Garden in 1947 as a staff botanist and later served as the curator of botany at the San Diego Natural History Museum. An expert on liveforevers (Dudleya) and the flora of Baja California and its islands, his book “The Flora of Guadalupe Island, Mexico” was published in 1996.

Donald Myrick (1893–1972) served on Garden’s Board of Trustees from 1956 to 1972. He was a dedicated nature photographer who was especially drawn to wildflowers and enjoyed sharing his work in vibrantly illustrated slide lectures held at the Garden. Among his many gifts to the Garden, he left an extensive collection of color slides to the archive.

Betty Randall Potts was an enthusiastic wildlife photographer and a member of the Garden in the 1990s. She was recognized as a member of several camera clubs in Northern California and listed as an exhibitor alongside the likes of Imogen Cunningham and Dorothea Lange.

Dieter H. Wilken, Ph.D., retired as director of research and conservation in 2013 after 20 years of service at the Garden, and still is involved as a research associate in the Garden’s Clifton Smith Herbarium. While on staff, he took thousands of photographs on the grounds and in the field.

Dorothy King Young (1904–1999) was a well-known wildflower enthusiast and author (Redwood Empire Wildflowers), and a founding member of the California Native Plant Society – their Mendocino chapter is named in her honor.

The 41 photographs were selected from thousands of previously digitized color slides.

They span 1947 to 2000 and feature works taken by eight individuals associated with the Garden, including staff, board members, and volunteers.

Advance reservations for Garden admission are required for non-members and recommended for Garden members. Each reservation ensures entry and includes parking for one vehicle. Garden hours are 10-5pm with the last reservation at 4pm. Reservations are available at www.sbbotanicgarden.org/visit/hours-reservations

Lyda Edge was an amateur botanist and exceptional photographer who volunteered at the Garden from 1969 to 1979. She generously gifted hundreds of botanical photographs to the archive, as well as many mounted plant specimens from Santa Barbara and neighboring regions, which were given to the archive.

J. R. “Bob” Haller, Ph.D., (1930–2016) taught at University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for more than 35 years. After his retirement in 1994, he came to the Garden as an education botanist and was with the Garden for 22 years. Haller was also an avid photographer who left a sizable gift of photography to the Garden’s Archive, including the four images in this show. Dieter Wilken and

About Dry Grasses also won at Cannes, for Best Actress, due to the performance from the singular actress Merve Dizdar. The film was co-written by Ceylan, Ebru Ceylan, and Akın Aksu, hatching a formidable script, some of which was based on real events and set in a harsh rural town in Turkey, where the location was a strong visual metaphor of isolation and hardship.

Director Nuri Bilge Ceylon

Director Ceylan is one the important figures in contemporary Turkish cinema and you can see why accolades are offered by critics in this long dream of a movie. He experiments with emergent moments jumping out of the narrative which give the film intriguing vibrations. The originality is evident as the focus looks at a story of inappropriate teacherstudent contact, which may or may not be true, but entirely ignites the suspicions of a provincial town.

The film was structured as a basic narrative, but rich dialogue embraces philosophical questions of loyalty, gender relations, and human desires, as well as looking at cynicism and betrayal. Visually the film is shot with memorable perspectives of snow-bound fields and mountain ranges. The film echoes Francois Truffaut’s Jules & Jim as well in moments in David Lean’s Dr. Zhivago.

Dialogue-wise, the influences from Chekov’s great works such as The Cherry Orchard are evident. Compelling yet long, the film offers insights into the struggle to remain grounded and purposeful, surrounded by townspeople that often betray one another.

On hand for an interview after the film with SBIFF Director Roger Durling, the fascinating director discussed the inclusion of a central scene where the lead character walks out of a set in the midst of an argument, surprisingly breaking the fourth wall.

Director Ceylan shared, “I found this in the editing, in harmony with the film. I wanted to share this feeling of walking out of the set, pushing the audience and myself as a director. The dialogue that proceeds this is the center of the movie for me, an important matter as an artist, whether or not an artist is political, there is a problem, a struggle, an expectation. I started to write this film with this weaved around this argument.”

He added, “Chekov was important to me as well, Chekov is closer to my own soul, as Russian literature has been inspiring to me.”

The cast’s performances are thoughtful and at times haunting, as the director won strong performances from both screen veterans and newcomers. About Dry Grasses is gaining steam with appreciative receptions by critics and film buffs and will be Turkey’s submission for a Best Foreign Film consideration at the Academy Awards.

Local News for a Global Village | www.VoiceSB.com

By David Gress / Special to VOICE

ANTA BARBARA CERTAINLY HAS A WELLDESERVED REPUTATION AS A HORTICULTURAL MECCA... it is now home to plants and trees that have been imported here, over the last 240 years, from all around the globe. Despite the many years that have passed, several species of these immigrant trees, including the Soapbark Tree, are still relatively unknown to members of our community.

Soapbark Tree was introduced into California in the late 1800s. While it is perfectly suited to our Mediterranean climate, only a few Soapbark Tree Flowers currently stand in Santa Barbara, primarily as street trees.

Its common name of “Soapbark Tree” refers to a compound, glycoside saponin, found in its bark.

When water is added to it, this compound will create a lovely soft foam; as a result, it has long been used as a substitute for harsh lyebased soaps.

This is an evergreen tree that will reach 30- to 40feet tall and 10- to 30-feet in width, with a rather irregular and asymmetrical canopy.

When young, it is narrow and upright; as it matures, it tends to broaden and to develop a somewhat weeping growth habit.

Quillaja saponaria

This tree generally goes unnoticed until May through June when it becomes covered in flowers. At peak bloom, there will be a profusion of small (1/2-inch across), fivepetaled, creamy white flowers that appear in clusters, called corymbs, at the ends of the branches. The flowers are “perfect”, meaning each flower contains both male parts and female parts. They can be either selfpollinated or insect pollinated. The generous amounts of pollen and nectar they create attract a wide variety of insects, including bees, lacewings, lady beetles, and beneficial wasps. In Chile, the dark honey the bees produce from its flowers is highly prized.

Pollinated flowers develop a rosette of five-spoked follicles (¾- inch wide); when they ripen in the fall, these follicles turn brown and split open to disperse ten to 20 seeds each.

Soapbark Tree Capsules

As seen from a distance, Soapbark Tree can be confused with our native Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia). Only close observation can aid in distinguishing the two very different species.

The Soapbark Tree is a resilient and hardy tree that can tolerate drought, poor soils, and temperatures down to 15 degrees F. without damage. It should be planted in full sun. It looks best with occasional deep watering. It does not appear to be subject to any diseases or insect pests. Its root system is quite well-behaved, so it does not ordinarily disturb nearby paving or hardscapes. When young, it can require pruning to train its variable growth habit. Once established, it is otherwise a very lowmaintenance sustainable tree.

It has been used successfully as a street tree - but it also makes an attractive specimen tree, a tall hedge, or screen. If you want a tree that adds to the diversity and horticultural Soapbark Tree heritage of our community, the Soapbark Tree would be an excellent choice.

Mature specimens of the Soapbark Tree can be seen in several places in our community: as park trees in West Alameda Park; in Pershing Park; in Franceschi Park;

and, as street trees on the first through 300 blocks of Castillo Street; on the 1500-1600 blocks of La Coronilla Drive; on the 800 block of Dolores Drive; and on the 300 block of East Victoria Street.

Soapbark Tree is native to the temperate zone of central Chile, from the coast to elevations up to 6,500 feet, often in dry, poor soils; it is frequently found in association with the Chilean Wine Palm (Jubaea chilensis).

There, the matorral and sclerophyll forests plant ecosystems are quite similar to our local chaparral and oak woodlands. In its native habitat, it is used for reforestation on arid sites.

It was once classified in the Rose family (Rosaceae) - but recently was assigned to its own family, Quillajaceae. Its botanical name is Quillaja saponaria. The genus name, Quillaja (pronounced key-YA-ha), is the name given to the tree by Its crown is covered with Soapbark Tree Bark the indigenous Andean people. shiny green leaves (one to 1½The specific epithet, saponaria, refers to the inches long and up to one inch wide).

Mesa Artists Studio Tour Expands Offerings

ELCOMING NEIGHBORS AND THE PUBLIC INTO THEIR STUDIOS, the Santa Barbara Mesa Artists Studio Tour, with the widest array of artists and art forms yet, will take place November 4th and 5th.

Wood and Metal Wall Sculpture by Jim Martin

The 19th annual self-guided tour, which is free and open to the public, was designed around 14 select artists’ with home studios centering in the city’s “Mesa” neighborhood. Visitors will receive a personal welcome from artists, demonstrations of tools and materials, and displays of works for sale, according to woodcut printmaker and tour member Sara Woodburn.

There will be traditional landscapes, contemporary abstracts, and portrait paintings in oil, watercolor, and pastel. Tour stops also include fine art basketry and weavings, lathe-turned wood vessels, multi-media mosaics, and hand-carved Japanese woodcut prints.

Contemporary art is represented by power-tooled etched metal “3-D” wall panels, textured multi-media collages, and ink-on-clay and mosaic tile abstractions. Displays include hanging and free-standing sculptures inspired by ancient designs, and photography that ranges from dramatic minimalist landscapes to stop-action panoramas.

All 14 artists were chosen for their professional standards by senior tour members. “We have no trouble attracting high-quality artists, including Santa Barbara natives and members who established careers in cities including New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles,” Woodburn added.

Tour hours are 11am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday. The route winds through neighborhoods with sea-view homes, hillside hideaways, and vintage cottages.

Travel time between studios is only a few minutes, allowing visitors to linger at every stop. Most drive, but some bicycle or even walk.

Visitors can download the tour map to a phone ahead of time from the tour website, sbMesaArtists.com. The website also displays examples of each artist’s work and their professional credentials. On tour days, the public can join at any point by following yellow street-side signs. Free brochure maps are available at all studios.

2023 Tour artists: Karin Aggeler, Misa Art, Wendy Brewer, Morgan Green, Brian Green, Nancy Heffron, Brian Kuhlmann, Jim Martin, Chris Owen, Lena Savage, Wanda Venturelli, Sherri West, Sara Woodburn, and Ellen Yeomans.

People of all ages and backgrounds will rise from the undead at the same moment in time, on October 28th, casting away inhibitions to create a Spooktacular experience in their communities,” a release about the event noted.

Santa Barbara is home to a particularly dedicated group of Zombies organized

by World Dance for Humanity, a nonprofit that turns dance into humanitarian aid by using donations to help Rwandan Genocide survivors build new lives, provide direct aid to Ukraine, and bring help to the local community.

On Saturday, October 21st World Dance will be renting the Airbus to take 50 zombies to Thrill Los Olivos, Solvang, Neverland, and Cold Springs Tavern!

Maybe this year is your chance to meet a Zombie!
