Representing some of tomorrow’s finest orchestral musicians, these alums - selected as Keston MAX (Music Academy Exchange) Fellows - were chosen by audition to train with Sir Simon Rattle and the orchestra in London during the 2018-2021 Summer Festivals, but many were prevented from doing so by the pandemic.

to the future. As one way of doing all three, the Academy has recognized alum James Mooy for continually inspiring a love of music in the Santa Barbara community and in new generations of students. Mooy, who attended the Academy as a trumpet fellow in 1985, is currently a professor of music at Santa Barbara City College, where he conducts both the SBCC Symphony Orchestra and the Lunch Break Jazz Ensemble and teaches courses on music technology, jazz studies, and music appreciation. “I’ve taken what I learned at the Academy and brought it home,” the Santa Barbara bornand-raised Mooy related. “What the Academy gave me, Santa Barbara is benefiting from.” To honor James Mooy for his work at SBCC, the Music Academy offered SBCCSO members free tickets to the 75th Anniversary Community Concert featuring the London Symphony Orchestra and the Academy’s Keston MAX AllStars. Music Academy will also be inviting SBCCSO members to attend a free masterclass of their choosing during the 75th Anniversary Summer Festival. n

’40s and ’50s into Chicago, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, New York, Pittsburgh, all of those places,” explained Stirling. “It was a new era of soul food.”
ERVING UP A SAVORY SELECTION OF FRIED CHICKEN, MAC N’ CHEESE, AND OTHER FAMILIAR “COMFORT FOOD” ITEMS, Soul Bites’ menu flavors downtown Santa Barbara’s eatery scene with a taste of the South. Tucked away in Music Alley’s former location, the restaurant is the realization of co-owner Stirling Nix-Bradley’s dream to honor Black food culture; serving classic dishes with a healthy twist in a community-focused space.
Originally from Oxnard, Stirling has acted on the stage and screen for over 30 years. To supplement this career, he turned to working in Los Angeles restaurants, including the Roxbury and Georgia, among others. Eventually, he went into management, overseeing BLT Steak on Sunset Boulevard.
“We’re paying homage to the Black food culture that migrated out of the South in the

All the while, Stirling dreamed of opening his own restaurant that would honor the dishes he ate with his family.
Owners Stirling and Rose Nix-Bradley
“We’re paying homage to that, what I grew up eating,” shared Stirling. “When I went to my aunt’s house, my grandmother’s, what she had on the stove — I was missing that.” Stirling has teamed with his wife, Rose, to realize this dream. Rose has worked in the restaurant industry for over 30 years, and also is experienced at event coordinating and planning. Previously, she worked with the Dallas Mavericks and managed theater district
restaurants in New York City before meeting Stirling. After receiving a scholarship from LAbased New School Consulting group, Stirling and Rose decided to launch Soul Bites as a food component of Music Alley. Now that Music Alley has closed, the couple is investigating taking over the entire space and transforming it into a community-focused space — perhaps hosting dance nights, comedy, or even business meetings. “We want to just sit in it and breathe in it for a little bit, and let the community dictate what they need from the space and work that way,” said Rose. Customers can enjoy Soul Bites while soaking up downtown Santa Barbara’s sunshine on their airy patio and parklet. True to its name, the restaurant provides a wide selection of classic comfort foods, including smoked and barbeque chicken mac n’ cheese, collard greens, smoked fingerling potatoes, and chicken tenders.
Fostering Abilities. Creating Community. Hillside is honored to be the forever home to 59 individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Yet what ultimately distinguishes Soul Bites are its original twists on familiar dishes, such as using catfish for their fish & chips, fried grit “Johnny sticks,” and chicken cracklins instead of pork. Maple brined fried chicken, and a chicken sandwich with apple slaw complete the menu. Soul Bites also aims to make these dishes as healthy as possible, namely by using quality ingredients such as Mary’s air-chilled organic chicken. The kitchen also practices pressure frying, which results in less fat than traditional fried chicken, and does not use lard. Going forward, Stirling and Rose hope to expand Soul Bites into a series of restaurants. Open Wed & Sun 12-9pm; Thu - Sat 12-10pm 423 State St. • www.soulbitesrestaurants.com

Organ Virtuoso Cameron Carpenter to Debut the Rodgers Infinity 3-Manual Organ

By Renee Cooper, Santa Barbara Symphony
IPE ORGANS ARE EXPENSIVE… really, really expensive, as in millions of dollars expensive. So when a venue like The Granada Theatre lacks a resident pipe organ, what’s an artist to do? Rent a digital one, of course. But, when the artist playing that instrument is international organ superstar Cameron Carpenter, not just any organ will do.
According to Nelson Dodge, the organ provider and leading distributor of the Rodgers organ brand, what makes this particular organ so special is all of its firsts. It’s the first of this make and model to come off the assembly line. It’s the first time this organ will ever be heard. It’s the first time Carpenter and The Symphony will globally debut this organ (even before it’s publicly introduced). And, it’s the first time this unrivaled software is being put through its paces on a non-custom organ. “This is the most excited I’ve been about an organ in my professional career,” Dodge enthusiastically noted. The Rodgers Infinity brings an expanded data set combined with enormous processing power and polyphony (hundreds of notes played simultaneously) to recreate the most authentic and massive pipe organ sound achievable by an electronic organ. So how does it work and what can the audience at Sonic Boom expect? The organ console is the command center. Here is where Carpenter sits and plays, while functioning much like a maestro himself. He manipulates the controls that signal to the

Carpenter requires a large organ with enough resources to produce the equivalent sound of a large (expensive) pipe organ to do justice to his talent and the repertoire he’s playing. And that’s just what the Santa Barbara audience will experience when they hear Carpenter debut the Rodgers Infinity 3-Manual Organ at Sonic Boom with The Santa Barbara Symphony on March 19th and 20th.

computer to turn notes on and off, using sampling data from actual pipe recordings, and translates those sounds into an audio stream that travels through amplifiers and broadcasts through a tower of 28 speakers, which will be located at the back of the Granada stage. This sound system has been custom designed to resonate up and over the heads of the orchestra musicians and out into the auditorium.

Thousand Steps Repair Project Begins March 28th
“Thousand Steps is one of three public beach access stairways we have in Santa Barbara,” said Parks and Recreation Director Jill Zachary. “This major repair project will make sure the people of Santa Barbara have safe access to the beach from the street level for decades to come.” The beach stairway will be closed to public access throughout the duration of the repair project. Since ocean waves regularly crash against the lower steps, these stairs have eroded and it has made them precarious to use. Additionally, waves in the wintertime wash away sand and create a significant drop-off between the stairs’ ending and the beach. To combat these issues, the repair project will include the demolition and rebuilding of the lower 14 steps, and replacing the bottom portion of the stairways and adding ten new steps. This will secure visitors’ safety year-round, despite seasonal sand level changes. New handrails, a new concrete guard rail, and an improved drainage system to prevent the accumulation of slippery algae will also be added.

ALMOST 100 YEARS AFTER ITS CONSTRUCTION, the Thousand Steps will be closed to undergo six to eight weeks of repairs beginning Monday, March 28th. Originally named Camino a Mar, the stairway was constructed at the end of Santa Cruz Boulevard by the City of Santa Barbara in 1925, connecting West Mesa neighborhood pedestrians to the beach below. The repair project will be led by the City’s Parks and Recreation Department.

Community Invited to Give Feedback on Proposed Civilian Oversight System for SBPD
C
OMMUNITY MEMBERS CAN NOW GIVE FEEDBACK ON THE PROPOSED DRAFT FRAMEWORK FOR A CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT SYSTEM of the Santa Barbara Police Department via an online survey. This draft is the result of close to a year of work by the City’s Community Formation Commission, who has reviewed other cities’ oversight systems and the needs of our community. “Community outreach is the key to community buy-in. Processes like this do not work without your input,” said Gabe Escobedo, Chair of the CFC. “The Community Formation Commission has worked diligently and thoughtfully to develop a civilian oversight model for the City of Santa Barbara. Over the next few weeks, we look forward to hearing from you and using that feedback to finalize our recommendation for City Council.” Developed in collaboration with the Center for Court Innovation and CFC, the survey will collect completely anonymous responses from the community. All questions are optional, with gathered information being analyzed and reported on by the CFC and CCI in a public memo. The CFC will then use the information to shape the draft recommendation before presenting to the City Council next month. The survey will remain open until 11:59pm on Tuesday, March 22nd.

Sansum Clinic Launches Online Symptom Checker to Support Caregivers TO SUPPORT PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS IN TENDING TO THEIR CHILD, Sansum Clinic has launched a new online Symptom Checker that can help inform individuals’ healthcare decisions when a child has a minor injury or is not feeling well. Available in English and Spanish and completely free, users can specify a child’s age, gender, and area of the body in need of attention. They are then provided with details such as tips for relieving minor symptoms at home, first aid instructions, dosage tables by weight for common medications, and more. “We understand that COVID-19 has meant many unexpected challenges for parents and families,” commented Dr. Jerold Black. “They will now have 24-7 support at their fingertips when making healthcare decisions for their children. It’s exciting to be part of a Clinic that is always raising the bar by employing the latest, most innovative technology to serve the needs of our community.”
Sansum Clinic lanza un verificador de síntomas en línea para ayudar a los cuidadores
PARA APOYAR A LOS PADRES Y CUIDADORES EN EL CUIDADO DE SU HIJO, Sansum Clinic ha lanzado un nuevo Verificador de síntomas en línea que puede ayudar a informar las decisiones de atención médica de las personas cuando un niño tiene una lesión menor o no se siente bien. Disponible en inglés y español y completamente gratis, los usuarios pueden especificar la edad, el sexo y el área del cuerpo de un niño que necesita atención. Luego se les brindan detalles como consejos para aliviar síntomas menores en el hogar, instrucciones de primeros auxilios, tablas de dosificación por peso para medicamentos comunes y más. “Entendemos que el COVID-19 ha causado muchos desafíos inesperados para los padres y las familias,” comentó el Dr. Jerold Black. “Ahora tendrán apoyo las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana, al alcance de la mano cuando tomen decisiones de atención médica para sus hijos. Es emocionante ser parte de una clínica que siempre está elevando el nivel al emplear la tecnología más reciente e innovadora para satisfacer las necesidades de nuestra comunidad.” El Verificador de síntomas no sustituye el consejo, tratamiento o diagnóstico médico profesional, y todas las emergencias médicas deben abordarse llamando al 9-1-1. Los datos preliminares del Verificador de síntomas de su primer mes de uso mostraron que los usuarios buscaban información sobre resfriados y tos, problemas de oído, mareos, vómitos y sospecha de COVID-19. La tabla de dosificación para medicamentos de venta libre fue particularmente utilizada por los padres de bebés.
The Symptom Checker does not substitute professional medical advice, treatment, or diagnoses, and all medical emergencies should still be addressed by calling 9-1-1. Preliminary Symptom Checker data from its first month of use showed users looking up information about colds and coughs, ear problems, motion sickness, vomiting, and suspected COVID-19. The dosage table for over-the-counter medications was particularly utilized by parents of infants.
“Recibimos muchas llamadas a nuestro departamento de padres que buscan este tipo de información de dosificación, que a menudo no figura en el empaque del medicamento, por lo que queríamos compartir una fuente precisa,” dijo la Dra. Saida Hamdani. “El nivel de detalle dentro del Verificador de síntomas es impresionante y los datos proporcionados se actualizan constantemente.”
“We receive many calls to our department from parents looking for this type of dosing information, which is often not listed on the medication packaging, so we wanted to share an accurate source,” said Dr. Saida Hamdani. “The level of detail within the Symptom Checker is impressive, and the data provided is constantly being updated.”

SBPD Issues Body-Worn Cameras to Officers for Enforcement and Investigative Contacts ALL FIELD OPERATION PATROL OFFICERS AND A MAJORITY OF OTHER SWORN PERSONNEL WITH THE SANTA BARBARA POLICE DEPARTMENT have been issued and are wearing body-worn cameras in the field. The outfitting of patrol officers with cameras began in December 2021, with testing beginning in July 2021. The cameras are attached to the exterior of an officer’s uniform in a conspicuous place. “Although not a panacea for all problems police face, body worn cameras have been shown to provide positive outcomes to both officers and community members,” states SBPD’s announcement. “Research suggests officers are able to capture valuable evidence, and generally both officers and community members are in favor of body worn cameras. In some circumstances, body worn cameras have been shown to reduce complaints against police officers, reduce police use of force, and increase perceptions of procedural justice.” Officers will be required to activate their body cameras for all law enforcement and investigative contacts, including field interviews and stops. Requests for the release of video and audio recordings will be processed according to the California Public Records Act and SBPD policy.

Mental Wellness Center and SeaVees Partner to Support Local Youth Mental Health Education
E
NCOURAGING PEOPLE TO BE STYLISH WHILE SUPPORTING A WORTHY CAUSE, Mental Wellness Center is partnering with the Santa Barbarabased shoe company SeaVees to launch a shoe that supports mental health education for area youth. Called the “The Mental Health Awareness Baja Slip On,” ten percent of purchases of the limited-edition slip-on sneaker will be donated to the Mental Wellness Center. “We are grateful to SeaVees for their support of youth mental wellness in our community,” said Annmarie Cameron, CEO of Mental Wellness Center in Santa Barbara. “Their fun and stylish shoes are a fresh and innovative way to spread the message that youth mental health and education is critical—not just in our area but across the country and world.” Designed in collaboration with Carissa Potter Carlson of People I’ve Loved, the shoes feature Carlson’s affirmation artwork, a secret message screen-printed in the inside footbed, and a vibrant green that is the color of the international symbol for mental health awareness. The collaboration will support the Mental Wellness Center’s Wellness Connection Council and Mental Health Matters program, which introduces facts about mental health to elementary, middle, and high school students across regional public and private schools.

DAM PHILLIPS AND HIS INTREPID FOLK ORCHESTRA OF SANTA BARBARA has been known to put on a fine, well-researched and themedriven – not to mention entertaining – concert. That they did last weekend, at both El Presidio Chapel and the Marjorie Luke Theatre, with an extra-special bonus in the presence of famed guests Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas. Fraser and Haas’ fiddle/cello duo has been a renowned entity on the global Scottish/Celtic music scene, and Phillips explained to the audience that this collaboration came about via a casual invitation he sent on Instagram. Otherwise, the entire affair was intoxicatingly acoustic, non-digital, and a celebration of Celtic music from the ages to the modern moment.

Opera Santa Barbara continues its intriguing season with the contemporary transgender-themed chamber opera As One (Friday, March 25th and Sunday, March 27th). And the veteran chamber music outfit, Camerata Pacifica's next installment lands at Hahn Hall, on Friday, March 25th. As usual, the CamPac program veers away from the expected, featuring great American composer John Harbison, Destenay, Reinecke, and, for standard fare’s sake, Saint-Saëns.
A ripe precursor to St. Patrick’s Day, the concert (I caught Sunday afternoon’s Luke show) raised the bar on Phillips’ innately ambitious project. The starring duo appeared, with obvious glee, in front of an orchestral cast of 28 musicians skillfully navigating Phillips’ arrangements.
Manning his usual bevvy of instruments, from the conventional guitar and vocals Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas to pastoral bagpipes, shruti box (and Indian drone source) and Galician gaita, Phillips was an engaging epicenter for a program opening with St. Patrick’s An Dro and climaxing with The Sailor’s Wife/The Lads of Duns. When not playing with the FOSB forces, the duo dazzled with its depth, interactive power, and flair. Fraser explained that, odd as it may seem, the fiddle-cello combo is not one which “lost half of a string quartet” but a “format of choice in Scotland going way back.” Highlights of their spotlight moments included Fraser’s slow-fast The Dreamer/The Jester and Haas metrically tricky but stunning Alien of Alesund, dedicated to the Norwegian hardanger fiddle master Annbjørg Lien. Chalk up another winner for the FOSB, with help from its famous new friends.
Josef Woodard is a veteran cultural critic, who wrote for the Los Angeles Times for 25 years, has contributed to Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, DownBeat, and many music magazines, and a long association with the Santa Barbara Independent and News-Press. To date, he has published two books for Silman-James Press, on jazz legends Charles Lloyd and Charlie Haden, respectively. He recently published a debut novel, Ladies Who Lunch. Woodard is also a musician, a guitarist, songwriter, and head of the Household Ink Records label.

Measure to Increase Public Schools’ Arts & Music Education On Track to Qualify for November Ballot CLOSE TO 700,000 SIGNATURES HAVE BEEN COLLECTED by Californians for Arts and Music Education in Public Schools in their effort to ensure the Arts and Music in schools measure qualifies for the November 2022 California ballot. The measure aims to provide almost an additional $900 million in annual funding, without increasing taxes, toward arts and music education in PreK-12 public schools statewide. Just over 623,000 signatures from registered voters still need to be collected before June 30th, with an end goal of one million signatures. Multiple leading labor organizations have voiced support of the measure, including the Actors’ Equity Association, the Associated Administrators of Los Angeles, the California IATSE Council, and the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA).
nationalities, and economics, grow up better for the arts and its profound awakening of their inner spirit!” The measure’s funding will support arts and music education across many different areas, such as performing and visual arts, traditional music, animation, computer graphics, coding, and costume design. The measure also works to support that California’s future workforce in media, entertainment, and technology reflects public schools’ diversity by offering increased access and resources to students from lowincome families and students of color. Numerous educators, actors, and creatives have stepped forward in support of the measure.

“SAG-AFTRA is excited to support this measure that will bring the creative fulfillment of arts education to our children statewide,” said SAGAFTRA National President, Fran Drescher, in a statement. “When kids have exposure to the arts, they do better with core education and develop productive self-expression of feelings in healthy ways rather than antisocial. My personal experience of the arts and its positive impact on my development through public education programs like this has helped shape me into the adult I am today. Regardless of whether a child has aspirations of becoming a professional performer, politician, or plumber, ALL children, of all races,

“I was fortunate to be educated in a time when public school art programs thrived. What I learned in those classes has stuck with me. What I learned there has inspired and supported me throughout my life”, said actor and Santa Barbara resident Jeff Bridges. “As one of our major academic minds, Albert Einstein, said, ‘Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.’ Arts and music education programs are all about imagination. We need to recognize the vital role arts education plays in the wellbeing of our children and in strengthening our communities. Robust programs that allow creative expression, emotional development, and joy are vital for students, parents, and educators. These programs need our support. Let’s all work together to ensure our Arts and Music Education Programs get the funding they need for generations to come.”

The Nocebo Effect
So how do we not worry ourselves sick? Ask your healthcare provider “How will the treatment improve my condition?” Focus on how the medication will make you better – not on its minor side effects. Be selective about searching the internet. Monitor the effects of the medicine without prejudice.
The most common reasons patients don’t comply to medications are intentional and include: high drug costs, fear of adverse events, being prescribed multiple medications, and experiencing either instant relief or medication ineffectiveness leading to self-discontinuation of medications. Additionally, television commercials are attempting to distract us as they sell a particular medication, with soothing visuals, while the adverse effects are quietly narrated in the background. In the U.S., many pharmaceutical companies market new prescription drugs through direct-to-consumer drug ads. These ads lead consumers to ask their doctors for prescriptions of often expensive new drugs despite the presence of existing options that are just as effective or affordable.

So how do we not worry ourselves sick? • Ask your healthcare provider “How will the treatment improve my condition?” • Focus on how the medication will make you better – not on its minor side effects. • Be selective about searching the internet. • Monitor the effects of the medicine without prejudice. In the end, this dynamic is about the physician-patient relationship, trust, and to “knowing thyself.”

The Placebo Effect demonstrates how positive thinking can improve treatment outcomes. The Nocebo Effect suggests that negative thinking may have the opposite effect. About 20 percent of patients taking a sugar pill in controlled
Katherine Lang’s recent article in Medical News Today noted that a recent study of COVID-19 vaccination trials analyzed data from twelve trials and found that 35 percent of people given placebo injections experienced systemic effects — effects experienced in areas of the body other than the treatment site, such as headache and fatigue — following the first dose. This was compared with 46 percent of those given the real vaccine. As a result of this data, the study’s authors suggest that some 76 percent of adverse effects reported by those given the real vaccine were nocebo effects. In other words,
An article in the Psychomed Journal for physicians gives clinical insights into the subject. If a doctor tells a patient “the great majority of patients tolerate this treatment very well” before giving a flu shot, patients experience fewer “adverse events.” As Gareth Cook notes in The New Yorker the larger problem lies outside the clinic, “The internet has become a powerful—and, to some, irresistible—nocebo-dosing machine. Preinternet, it took weeks or even months for a person to gather enough reading to become very, very afraid. Now one can achieve a state of dread in a few short hours, surrounded by the comforts of home.”

EARLY IN MY TRAINING I realized that I must be very careful about what I say to patients as patients will listen more often than not to whatever advice and information their doctor provides. What I say matters. The power of suggestion is strong enough to induce positive or negative feelings in patients. A growing body of evidence has emerged for a phenomenon known as The Nocebo Effect. This is when a person is conditioned to expect a negative response, or to anticipate negative effects from an experience. It is the opposite of a placebo.
clinical trials of a drug spontaneously report uncomfortable side effects — an even higher percentage if they are asked. These effects are one kind of nocebo — a word that means in Latin “I will harm.” (Placebo means “I will please.”)

Anticipation surged through the Arlington Theatre as hundreds of film lovers took their seats, cheering at the sight of Bardem entering. Unfortunately, due to suffering a torn hamstring on a film set, Kidman had to attend the evening via Zoom.

AZZLING THE ARLINGTON THEATRE WITH HUMOR AND ENERGETIC INSIGHT, Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem closed out the 2022 Santa Barbara International Film Festival’s tributes by receiving the festival’s highest honor — the Maltin Modern Master Award. Moderated by the award’s namesake, film critic Leonard Maltin, the evening chronicled the actors’ rich and varied careers up to their Oscar-nominated performances as Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in director Aaron Sorkin’s Being the Ricardos.
She expressed that while the process of embodying Ball was her most difficult job to date, the role continued her efforts to play strong women.

Nicole Kidman & Javier Bardem Named SBIFF Maltin Modern Masters “Through the whole thing I’ve always wanted to stay very true artistically... I hope at some point I get to play extraordinary women or simple women in complicated situations,” said Kidman. “I hope I get to show all of those complexities.

“If you’re making a movie about a person, it’s because that person meant something big for so many people, even if it’s for the wrong reasons like Pablo Escobar,” said Bardem. “You have a responsibility when you’re portraying those people, and in the case of Desi Arnaz, their daughter and son are still alive. So every day I was so scared to harm them with my performance.” Following their interviews, producer Todd Black presented the actors with their Maltin Modern Master Awards, applauding them for their dedication, humility, and professionalism.
SBIFF Hosts Oscar-Nominated Women’s Panel

By Sigrid Toye / Special to VOICE
HE LAST DAY OF THE 2022 SANTA BARBARA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ON SATURDAY MARCH 12TH WAS ACTION-PACKED IN VENUES ALL OVER TOWN! The last panel of the festival was the 11am Women’s Panel onstage at the Arlington Theatre. The event was introduced by SBIFF Program Director Claudia Puig, who thanked the festival’s sponsors and its 400 volunteers. After a short screening of the five Academy Award-nominated panelists’ works, each nominee was introduced. The last introduction was moderator Madelyn Hammond, owner of an entertainment marketing agency, who entered with a smile, lots of humor, and a serious dose of quick wit!
Hammond began the conversation by regaling the audience with the the panelists’ previous accomplishments, representing a broad spectrum of filmography. The 2022 Writer’s Panel featured Diane Warren (composer, Somehow You Do from Four Good Days), Jessica Kingdon (director, Ascension), Lynn Harris (producer, King Richard), Amber Richards (set decorator, Power of the Dog) and Elizabeth Mirzaei (director, Three Songs for Benazir).
song like casting a film.” Somehow You Do is a song about addiction, mental health, and the ability to survive adversity matched perfectly to the character of Rose. Definitely a song for today!
Elizabeth Mirzaei, the nominated director in the documentary short subject category, Three Songs for Benazir, came with an interesting story. Mirzaei, and her husband and co-director Gulistan, an Afghan, had lived in the country when they met Shaista, the subject of their documentary film. Newly married at the time to Benazir, the documentary is essentially a love story despite personal struggles and shattered dreams after decades of wars and occupations. Shaista finally is forced to work in the poppy fields. Mirzaei, of Ukrainian descent, explained, “We feel this movie is important right now in a time when the world is confronting multiple wars... we hope this film helps.”

The nominated documentary film Ascension was represented by one of the filmmakers, Jessica Kingdon. The film explores the contemporary “Chinese Dream” of labor, consumerism, and wealth. Kingdon, of Chinese and American descent, remarked, “The film contains series of open ended vignettes highlighting contemporary life in mainland China.” She added, “We had nothing to prove, the film’s not political... and The assortment of interrelated crafts Lynn Harris, Jessica Kingdom, Elizabeth Mirzaei, Diane Warren, and Amber Richards remained flexible as locations became available.” represented on stage exemplified how complicated Funding the documentary started with a small and far-reaching the production of a motion loan and a mindset that shooting for greatness was less important than finishing the project! picture can be. Amber Richards, nominated for the set decoration on the film The Power of the Dog, explained that Montana in the 1920’s – with set decorations to match – was actually a location in her native New Zealand. “A four day trip to the West Coast’s production houses was the closest I got to Montana,” she laughed. The incredible selections she found there, however, were shipped back to New Zealand to create the perfect background for a narrative about family interactions on an isolated farm in Montana’s backcountry. Diane Warren, famed composer of the nominated song Somehow You Do from the film Four Good Days laughingly quipped after her introduction, “Yep, 13 nominations and 12 misses – how about that?” Describing her process as a songwriter she said, “Every song is a blank piece of paper so each song is different – the character has to be the perfect person for the song.” She added, “Casting a
Finally, industry veteran Lynne Harris, producer of the best picture nominee King Richard, talked of bringing the narrative to life. “This story highlights a man with a plan!” she stated emphatically. “He watched a female tennis player wining 40 thousand dollars and that was it.” Richard, as Vanessa and Serena’s father and coach, was skillfully played by actor Will Smith. “We shut down 17 days into the pandemic, Harris recalled. “When we did come back, Will, truly as a leader, kept morale up at time when it was very difficult and scary... Working in Los Angeles we had the advantage of a diverse crew which helped.” She added that the industry could do even better.

Santa Barbara International Film Festival
37th Film Festival Wrap Up
“We were so thrilled to have had our slate of 200 Director-actress Dina Amer films from 54 countries over the past week so wellreceived by festivalgoers. A few films even elicited standing ovations… We are very proud that filmmakers came from as far as Nepal, Iran, and Uganda – and many countries in between – to attend with their films. We thank all the wonderful filmmakers and our enthusiastic Santa Barbara audiences for making this such a joyful return to theaters, and a celebration of cinema,” Puig noted. One by one the filmmakers accepted Still from Angakusajaujuq: The Shaman’s Apprentice the awards. For Best Doc Short Jordan Matthew Horowitz’s Lalito 10 won the honor for the story on how a teacher adjusted successfully to the benefit of Guatemalan students. The Bruce Corwin Award for Best Live-Action Short Film was awarded to Canadian filmmaker Still from You Resemble Me Marilyn Cooke for drama dancing around morbid and spiritual atmosphere in her latest short No Ghost in the Morgue (Pas de Fantôme à la Morgue). She was there with her lead actress to accept the honor. Also from Canada, the Best Animated Short was awarded to Angakusajaujuq: The Shaman’s Apprentice a win for veteran Inuit filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk. The indigenous drama illustrated so well the frozen climate and addressed climate change in the story. The Best Documentary Award went to Jon-Sesrie Goff 's layered racial history exploration, set in coastal South Carolina, After Sherman. The Jeffrey C. Barbakow Award for International Feature Film went to Shawkat Amin Korki's The Exam (Ezmûn) an intriguing story about the faultlines within Iranian society. And very deserved, the Best Middle Eastern/Israeli Film Award went to director-actress Dina Amer's You Resemble Me (Tu Me Ressembles). Ms. Amer was there in person to thank the festival and jury. The film, which is in French and set in Paris, is a haunting story and a deconstruction of a real-life woman associated with terrorism. Other International feature awards included Best Nordic/Dutch Film Award to Marianne Blicher's Miss Viiborg who was delighted to receive the honor. The entertaining

FTER ELEVEN DAYS of film festival screenings, tributes, educational showcases, and panels, one of Santa Barbara International Film Festival's wrap-up events was the Awards breakfast hosted by Maune Contemporary Gallery on State Street near the Arlington Theatre. Filled with supporters and festival organizers, including Roger Durling, Executive Director, and Claudia Puig, the Programming Director, the festival announced the lucky and talented award recipients. Well wishes for award winners were shared at a podium at the back of the gallery, and the scene had a kind of wistful sense of relief that the festival had actually been launched successfully, one of the few festivals that dared to go live and in person, as most festivals were left reeling by the ongoing pandemic era.

Rite Aid on State Closes
Cruise Ship Returns to Santa Barbara Harbor
Rite Aid abruptly closes in downtown Santa Barbara at 825 State St. Historians will tell you there’s been a drug store there for at least 50 years. It was formerly Thrifty’s. In 1923 in was Diehl Grocery store.
“We’re taking this step to reduce the risk of an escaped campfire sparking a catastrophic wildfire in the urban interface,” said Santa Barbara District Ranger Daryl Hodges in a press release. “The front country frequently experiences hot, dry, and gusty conditions that are simply incompatible with campfires.”
For the first time in two years, due to the pandemic, a cruise ship has arrived in Santa Barbara. The Majestic Princess is the first of 17 visits between now and May 20th. More are to come in the fall, offering an economic boost to the city. Strict health protocols are in place.

Wartime Will JOLT Job Formation The last time we had truly full employment in America was during World War II. It’s a horrible thought, I know, but we ought to look at the ramifications of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. The world was at war then and all hands were needed in our factories to win the fight. (Remember Rosie the Riveter?) We may need to do so again if the Ukraine war spreads beyond its borders. It could mean the huge demand for workers will continue, and push wages even higher. The recent JOLTS report showed that businesses continued their massive hiring effort in January and may continue to do so for the rest of this year. The Labor Department is reporting that after falling to as low as 4.6
Economic VOICE
million early in the pandemic, the number of open jobs soared above ten million last summer for the first time ever. They have remained extremely high since then. And though the economy has added an average of 614,000 new jobs in each of the past five months, businesses still say it’s hard to attract new employees and retain old ones. “The number of job openings was little changed at 11.3 million on the last business day of January, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics recently reported. Hires and total separations were little changed at 6.5 million and 6.1 million, respectively.” This gives us an idea of the immensity of the U.S. economy, as well as its future direction. The job openings line on Calculated Risk’s graph shows how high the demand for jobs has risen. And, more are quitting their jobs to find better jobs. Some 4.3 million quit their jobs in the month. Quits peaked at 4.5 million in November. Before the pandemic, the number of people quitting jobs averaged fewer than three million a month. There were 6.3 million Hires and 6.1 million Layoffs, so we should look for more job growth this year, in spite of the touted labor shortages. But why are so many being hired if that is the case? More are re-entering the work force than was expected.

“Some 300,000 people entered the labor market in February, pushing the increase over the past six months to 2.5 million. Perhaps not coincidentally, economists note, the surge in the labor force began around the time that extra federal benefits for the unemployed expired,” said MarketWatch’s Jeffry Bartash recently.
A wider war is probably not in the cards with NATO saying the Ukraine invasion is not “our” war, but even the threat of war has caused economic activity to pick up, historically. And with the largest number of immigrants fleeing the war zone since World War II, who knows what can happen next?

Art review: 1 Yr in SB, through March 30, Thomas Reynolds Gallery
California Dreamt W
By Josef Woodard / VOICE
HEN THOMAS REYNOLDS moved his wellestablished gallery from the perch in San Francisco’s tony Pacific Heights area, the gallery’s home for 25 years, it seemed an auspicious idea to set up shop and a new home in Santa Barbara. The Thomas Reynolds Gallery, situated in a spot just a few doors up from the Arlington Theater on State, enjoys a central location in close proximity to the city’s expanding “Arts District,” two blocks from the Museum of Art. A year ago, the arrival of vaccinations was breeding widespread hope for a return to normal human behavior and old cultural habits. Alas, along came Delta and Omicron, delaying the comfort zone with visiting indoor galleries and businesses. One year later, the COVID cobwebs are finally being dusted away and art-seekers are getting out Tunnel View, acrylic on canvas, 18 x 36 inches, by Mark Matsuno more. For anyone who has put off checking out the space (present company included, he says sheepishly), back to the immortal views of leisure and epicure captured by it’s time to visit Reynolds’ current exhibition, 1 Yr in SB. Consider it a secondary grand opening, and an Manet and Renoir in the late 19th century. illuminating introduction to the focus of Reynolds’ work as a gallerist.

Matsuno’s aerial view of the winding and mostly dry Los Angeles River is the subject of A River Runs Through It and Tunnel Vision offers horizontal, symmetrical view of a vintage tunnel, with echoing arch patterns stretching into the distance. With his odes to San Francisco, including the action-blurred Market Street traffic hustle of Bike Lane in the gallery’s window, Tongpaboon proves to be an exacting but fluid painter, with a rich palette and an idealized city as expressive playground.
Morning Run, oil on panel, 24 x 24 inches, by Sandy Ostrau
Sandy Ostrau, a UCSB graduate, delves deeper into abstract sensibilities than others in the shows and enjoys laying on thick, palpable textures of paint. Figures appear in stages of prop-like ambiguity, as with Standing Together, but with an intimacy beyond their pictorial function. A lone, tilting semblance of a figure leans into a run in Morning Run, a centering device in the composition, divided by rectilinear color zones. Fields to Sea draws doubly on California connections, given its similarity to Northern-turned-Southern Californian Richard Diebenkorn’s Ocean Park series, a touchstone of the idea of natural abstraction.

Art historical parallels take a different turn in Ken Auster’s infectious but also voyeuristic, fly-on-the-wall paintings of restaurant life. He’s Coming with Your Soup invokes its story with the title, while the intriguing Merry Soul plots figures in a murky shaded foreground, with a glistening bar and mural in the background. Though discernibly contemporary, these rugged slice-of-life paintings also refer

With Vincent Van Gogh & His Friends in Santa Barbara
I
By Edward Goldman, ART Matters
THINK YOU WOULD AGREE WITH ME that a museum exhibition with Van Gogh’s name attached to it would be on a must-see list for anyone interested in art. So, when I received the announcement from Santa Barbara Museum of Art about the opening of the exhibition, Through Vincent’s Eyes: Van Gogh and His Sources, I immediately got intrigued.

Art Matters
Of course, I expected Vincent Van Gogh to see some of his famous Self Portrait with a Pipe, 1886 paintings on display. And yet, among the twenty Van Gogh pieces in the exhibition only few are his best while others are hmmm...just good. It is for each of us to decide when he is at the top and when he is not. Seventy-five other works of art in the exhibition are by artists that Van Gogh admired and was deeply influenced by. Among them are Camille Corot, Courbet, Edgar Degas, Delacroix, Gauguin, Manet, and Rembrandt.
L: Jean-Francois Raffaëlli. The Absinthe Drinkers, 1881 R: Vincent Van Gogh. Shelter on Montmartre, 1887
Spending two hours going through the exhibition, I had the impression that Van Gogh was introducing me to his friends, some of them famous and some unknown that I had never heard of before like Jean-Francois Raffaëlli and Adolphe Joseph Thomas Monticelli. It is amazing to see how much all these artists influenced Van Gogh’s style, subjects, brush strokes, and color pallet. These artists had decades dedicated to their art while Van Gogh had only ten years to make his art before he died at the age of 37.
Vincent Van Gogh L: Sheaves of Wheat, 1890 R: Hospital at Saint-Rémy, 1889
Through Vincent’s Eyes: Van Gogh and His Sources
L: Vincent Van Gogh. The Outskirts of Paris, 1886 R: Paul Gauguin. Christmas Night, 1902–03
It’s known that during the last years of his life many of Van Gogh’s paintings were rendered in just one day. Stand close and look at each of them for a minute or two. Their energy, the stories they tell, the individual drama of each brushstroke are all shaped by the mind and hands of the artist who was slowly losing his mind, but definitely not losing his art. A very untraditional selection of artworks for this challenging and deeply satisfying exhibition were made by Eik Kahng, Chief Curator of Santa Barbara Museum of Art, who gave me a tour talking as a friend, and not as a scholar. My deep thanks to her. And, let me finish by congratulating the Santa Barbara Museum of Art for organizing such an important exhibition that any major museum would die for. Through Vincent’s Eyes: Van Gogh and His Sources runs through May 22, 2022.

GETTING TO KNOW
E
VER INSPIRED BY HIS ARTISTIC PEERS, VINCENT VAN GOGH greatly appreciated French realist painter Jean-François Raffaëlli. According to historian Sjraar van Heugten’s essay Admiration and Guidance: Van Gogh’s Personal Pantheon of Artists, included in the Santa Barbara Museum of Art’s exhibition catalogue, Van Gogh was introduced to Raffaëlli through a catalogue given to him by his brother, Theo. Upon reviewing Raffaëlli’s works and reading one of his essays, Van Gogh was enchanted by the artist’s efforts to depict the poorer, working classes. “I think the drawings in it are masterly,” wrote Van Gogh to Theo about Raffaëlli’s catalogue in 1885.

Many of Raffaëlli’s works focus on ragpickers and other outcasts of 19th-century French society, depicting them in a realistic way that gives them a sense of artistic merit. Similarly, many of Van Gogh’s earlier works also focus on the working classes, yet are clearly informed by his personal background of living and working within more rural communities as a lay minister. In honor of Raffaëlli’s influence on Van Gogh, several of Raffaëlli’s works, including The Absinthe Drinkers, are displayed within SBMA’s exhibition. To learn more about van Gogh, visit www.vangoghmuseum.nl Jean-François Raffaëlli (French 1850–1924), The Absinthe Drinkers, 1881. Oil on canvas, 42 1/2 × 42 1/2 in.

Featured Lender of the Month ~ Meet Elizabeth “I love being part of this group! Each Leading Lender provides something valuable and unique to the group as a whole and to our clients collectively. I feel that, for my part, Bank of the West, as a bank and a portfolio lender (meaning we keep many of the loans on our books and don’t sell them) provides me with other options and often, greater flexibility. During these crazy times, many lenders got out of jumbo loans, interest only and cut programs. Bank of the West changed very few programs. For example, we still do cash-out loans even on investment properties. The lending world and its process isn’t what I would call ‘fun’ now, but I love the consultative nature of the business and working with my clients in that capacity.”
