Celebrating Local Nonprofits

ELEBRATING THEIR 49TH ANNIVERSARY BY PROVIDING GRANTS

“It is an honor to carry on this tradition each year and to witness the enthusiasm our associates have for the organizations they support. Our associates’ dedication to their communities and desire to make an impact where they live is not only inspiring, but it is also exactly what Michael Towbes hoped would continue through the Anniversary Grants program. And, aligning with our expansion into Santa Maria and Oxnard, it was exciting to see that the majority of this year’s recipients serve communities in North Santa Barbara County and Ventura County!” said Janet Garufis, Chairman & CEO of MB&T.

The Bank’s late founder, Michael Towbes, first started the Anniversary Grants program in 1993 to honor Montecito Bank & Trust’s anniversary by giving back to the community. He wanted bank employees to have a voice in the direction of the Bank’s corporate giving and to celebrate the exceptional volunteer service they give back to Central Coast communities.

Janet Garufis, Chairman and CEO- Montecito Bank & Trust Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara for the incredible work that they do to ensure that low-income and other vulnerable residents in Santa Barbara County have equal access to legal services.

The recipients were all hand-selected by Bank employees after they campaigned, rallied, and voted for the organizations that make an impact in their lives and communities. Each recipient was awarded a $3,000 grant and received a short promotional video showcasing the organization’s extraordinary work.

Five years ago, the Bank introduced the Jerry Parent Anniversary Grants Legacy Award to honor the decades-long selfless community contributions of one of the Bank’s founders and long-time Board Director, Jerry Parent. The award is presented to an organization that makes a significant and sustainable impact on a local community. The organization is nominated by a Bank associate and selected by a committee with the input of Mr. Parent.

The 5th recipient of the Legacy Award is Legal

Calling All Food Lovers

CBy Isaac Hernández de Lipa / VOICE

HEF JOSÉ ANDRÉS, founder of World Central Kitchen, is coming to town. With the occasion of his visit to the Arlington Theatre on April 21st, UCSB Arts & Lectures will celebrate food, and thus celebrate you. Because, as Santa Barbara Food County Action Network (SBCFAN) director Shakira Miracle always says, “If you eat, you’re part of the food system.”

Known as a culinary innovator and a humanitarian, José Andrés demonstrates how together we can make the world a better place through the power of food.

“When you talk about food and water, people don’t want a solution one week from now, one month from now. The solution has to be now,” he writes on the World Central Kitchen website (wck.org).

In addition to his accolades for food (he’s the only chef around the world with a two-star Michelin restaurant and four Bib Gourmands), Andrés’s work with WCK, has earned him the 2018 James Beard Foundation Award for Humanitarian of the Year as well as a place in two of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people lists.

He was awarded a 2021 Princess of Asturias Award for his work with WCK in the category “Concord.”

He also received a 2021 Courage and Civility Award from Jeff Bezos that carried a $100 million prize.

The Silver Screen

April 21st will be a special day, with festivities beginning with a free screening of Ron Howard’s We Feed People at 1:30pm. A documentary on Andrés and World Central Kitchen, the screening is part of A&L’s Thematic Learning Initiative. Registration for the film screening is recommended.

Community Food Solutions Showcase

“When you talk about food and water, people don’t want a solution one week from now, one month from now. The solution has to be now.” - José Andrés

At 3pm, the Arlington courtyard will become the Community Food Solutions Showcase, a hub for conversations about addressing food insecurity and sustainability in our community with a growing list of different tables hosted by the Food Action Network, Organic Soup Kitchen, Get Hooked Seafood, Santa Barbara Schools Health Linkages Program, Route 1 Mobile Farmers Market, Apples to Zucchini Cooking School, Foodbank of Santa Barbara County, Rooted Santa Barbara, and Downtown Food Co-op, and others. These are the folks creating a resilient food system and improving access to healthy food in our region.

In Conversation

At 4:30pm, the ticketed event will feature an intimate conversation between Chef Andrés and KLITE presenter Catherine Remak onstage

at the Arlington Theatre. Remak is a career broadcaster and recipient of the 2020 Santa Barbara Person of the Year Award.

Andrés is a proud Spanish-American citizen who embraces the responsibilities of a culinary ambassador and immigrant building bridges between cultures. His latest cookbooks include Zaytinya: Delicious Mediterranean Dishes from Greece, Turkey, and Lebanon and The World Central Kitchen Cookbook: Feeding Humanity, Feeding Hope.

“Build longer tables, not higher walls.”

– José Andrés

Premier Sponsor: Eva and Yoel Haller

José Andrés is presented in association with Feed the Valley, Foodbank of Santa Barbara County, Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market Association, Santa Barbara County Food Action Network, and UCSB Associated Students Foodbank.

UCSB Arts & Lectures 2023-2024 Community Partners are the Natalie Orfalea Foundation & Lou Buglioli.

The WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN

FIRST TO THE FRONTLINES WITH FOOD,

World Central Kitchen,

founded by Chef Jose Andres in 2010, has served more than 350 million meals around the world and most recently provided meals to both Palestine and Israel. Also, WCK operated in Ventura County during the Thomas Fire, in 2017 to assist firefighters and first responders and provided food to families affected by the fires

Uniquely, WCK partners with organizations on the ground and activates a network of local restaurants, food trucks, or emergency kitchens, and prioritizes purchasing local ingredients to cook with or distribute directly to families in need, according to WTC website. Then, following the disaster, WCK provides grants to farmers, food organizations, and planning ahead of the next disaster.

“We know that good food provides not only nourishment, but also comfort and hope, especially in times of crisis” is the idea that guides their work.

This week, WCK provided almost 200 tons of food to communities in northern Gaza that arrived in a maritime aid shipment. The food arrived aboard the first humanitarian shipment to reach the Gazan coast in nearly two decades. Alongside local and international partners, WCK has provided more than 39 million meals by land, sea, and air to Palestinians in need.

The Nicest Chef in the World

By Isaac Hernández de Lipa / VOICE

JOSÉ ANDRÉS DOESN’T ONLY FEED PEOPLE IN CONFLICT

ZONES like Gaza or Ukraine, but he’s also the nicest person in the world.

There was a time when José Andrés was just a chef with one restaurant, Jaleo, in Washington D.C. My wife, Nancy Black, ate there during a business trip and when she sent her congratulations to the chef, Andrés came out of the kitchen to thank her.

A few years later, when he opened a new restaurant, Bazaar, in Los Angeles, I was sent on assignment to photograph him for El Mundo in Spain. My wife sent a bag of persimmons from our yard with me. Andrés was supposed to give me 15 minutes of his time for the photoshoot. It went for over one hour, tapas included, fellow Spanish-American to fellow Spanish-American.

After the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Andrés visited the Caribbean island with my good friend and El Mundo editor Carlos Fresneda and Manolo Vílchez, who brought a solar stove he invented.

Since there was no budget to bring me along as a photographer. I missed my chance to witness the birth of World Central Kitchen. Andrés, along with his wife Patricia, cooked for people displaced in a refugee camp. “It wasn’t just about feeding people in need—it was about listening, learning, and cooking side by side with the people impacted by the crisis,” wck.org states.

Andrés is the nicest chef I know.

His 2019 Nobel Peace Prize nomination recognizing his efforts to feed people in crisis through World Central Kitchen was well deserved as were his 2015 National Humanities Medal, his listing in Time’s 100 Most Influential People in 2012 and 2018, and his two James Beard Awards.

I’m so happy that after all these years, Chef Andrés is coming to Santa Barbara. It’s too bad that we’re not in the persimmon season, but at least we have lemoncellos.

Old Spanish days Celebrates 100 Years

Viva El Centenario

WITH THE HISTORIC LOBERO THEATRE IN THE BACKGROUND, Old

Spanish Days unveiled the 2024 Fiesta theme for the 100th Anniversary of our community’s beloved festival: Viva el Centenario.

“The 100th year of Fiesta is going to be big,” said 2024 El Presidente Brian Schwabecher when sharing the news. “We are focused truly on collaboration for our community events. The announcement of the theme of Fiesta’s 100th Anniversary is an exciting moment for our community. Viva el Centenario is recognition for a rare and unique milestone achieved by not only our Fiesta organization, but the sponsors, participants, and volunteers that have contributed immensely over the last 100 years. The theme, we hope, also provides a new beginning where we celebrate past and present, but also the longevity and passion needed to sustain our Fiesta well into the future.”

OSD officials were joined for this exciting moment by members of the Lobero Theatre Foundation. The very first Fiesta was organized by the Lobero in 1924 to celebrate the re-opening of the newly remodeled Theatre. Old Spanish Days incorporated as a non-profit organization shortly thereafter, and annually has organized the beloved community festival.

“I think the one thing about our history and OSD history that is so incredible is that both cultural organizations have woven themselves into this community,” said David Asbell, executive director of the Lobero. “It is really amazing how central they are to the cultural life in Santa Barbara and how prominent they are for the last 100 years, and for 100 years more.”

El Presidente Schwabecher explained that traditional Fiesta events will be back this year, along with a plethora of community Fiestas organized by collaborative partners, sponsors, and local families – all celebrating the 100th Anniversary Fiesta milestone.

“The Old Spanish Days Fiesta Board of directors is working behind the scenes on the details on all our traditional venues while also working with numerous community partners that have expressed a desire to collaborate to make this one of the biggest Fiesta’s ever. Organizations such as the Lobero, who we share this anniversary with as our originating partner, as well as members of our nonprofit, private and public

organizational partners are all working with Fiesta so that we can maximize our reach into the community so that this generation will remember the 100th Anniversary forever,” he added.

“Our arts community was one of the first catalysts to starting the festival in 1924 here at the Lobero. It’s only fitting that Fiesta has grown into the festival that it is — deeply steeped in the music, dance, and arts community — and now brought back to the Lobero full circle on their 150th Anniversary and our 100th Anniversary,” Asbell continued.

“There are many exciting announcements to come, and I encourage the community to share the theme with friends and family from far and wide. I hope you can bring to town all your friends and family to help us celebrate our rich and beautiful community in a once in a lifetime 100th Anniversary Celebration,” El Presidente said.

Fiesta 2024, the Centennial, runs from July 31-August. www.sbfiesta.org

Inspiring Women Speak at Women’s Economic Ventures International Women’s Day Celebration Event

THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF WOMEN WERE HIGHLIGHTED AT WOMEN’S ECONOMIC VENTURES’ first International Women’s Day Celebration at The Hub – Community Environmental Council on Wednesday, March 6th.

The event speakers included, WEV Client Jonnie Williams, PsyD., Founder and CEO of Evolve Equity; University of California, Santa Barbara Professor, Sarah Thébaud, Ph.D., from the Department of Sociology; and WEV Board Member, Junemarie Justus, Founder of The Acorn Project.

Sarah Thébaud, Ph.D.

Thébaud opened the program by sharing her research in gender studies. She said, “It’s no secret we live in a society with gender inequality which is a problem not just for women but for everyone. There is the gender wage gap and women are still taking on the lion’s share of caregiving.”

Jonnie Williams, PsyD.

Williams opened her remarks by saying hello to the crowd of 50 attendees in her maternal grandmother’s native language from the Bitterwater clan of the Navajo Nation. Williams founded Evolve Equity to advance equity, racial justice, and healing for groups that have been historically marginalized.

Justus shared, “We all know that given the opportunity to thrive, women lift not only themselves, but their families and communities. Women are under-resourced, giving to women’s and girls’ organization represents 1.8 percent of all charitable giving in the U.S. Resourced women transform communities, lift economies, and create positive social change.” www.wevonline.org

Beach Closure Lifted for Goleta Beach

THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT has lifted the water contact closure for Goleta Beach. Water quality testing conducted by Environmental Health Services has confirmed the ocean water is now safe for recreational use along the Goleta Beach County Park shoreline following the reported sewage spill in mid-February.

The East End of Goleta Beach County Park remains closed for public access due to ongoing emergency storm and beach nourishment operations. A water contact advisory will remain in effect for this restricted shoreline area.

“We acknowledge the impact that the beach closure has had on Goleta Beach visitors and sincerely thank the community for their cooperation while we conducted additional ocean water sampling to confirm its safety for swimming, paddling, and other water contact activities. With the lifting of the beach closure, let’s embrace the opportunity to once again enjoy the beauty of Goleta Beach County Park together,” said Lars Seifert, Environmental Health Services Director.

Tony Award Winner to Grace ETC Stage in The Lehman Trilogy

THE 2022 TONY AWARD

By Jesse Caverly / VOICE

WINNER

FOR “BEST PLAY,” A POWERFUL STORY ABOUT THE RISE AND FALL OF THE LEHMAN BROTHERS, is coming to Santa Barbara. Chronicling over a century of family drama, struggle, and triumph, The Lehman Trilogy deals with the American Dream and how quickly it can become the American Nightmare.

“When does ambition cross the line?” the play’s director, Oánh Nguyễn asks. “And how do we confront the unsettling reality that those we cheer for may unwittingly become part of the problem?”

As a Vietnamese refugee, Nguyễn understands the immigrant experience that begins the Lehman Brothers story. Their ambition, as newcomers to America, was to protect the family and seek safety. A century later, ambition fell prey to greed and one of the largest bankruptcies in American history—and the financial crisis of 2008.

The success of this play, however, does not seem to be on the brink of collapse any time soon. Translated into 24 languages, The Lehman Trilogy has been staged by such directors as Luca Ronconi and Sam Mendes, and has won five Tony awards, including Best Director and Best Actor.

“Catapulted to the top of the industry, The Lehman Trilogy has profoundly resonated with audiences, both near and far,” commented Scott DeVine, ETC’s executive director. “ETC is focused on bringing some of the greatest stories to the New Vic stage and are proud to bring our rendition of this incredible piece to our community. Audiences will experience the tale of one of America’s great immigrant stories, fettered with all of the complexities involved with realizing the American dream, from managing their ambition and family dynamics to the inexorable march of time.”

The play unfolds in three acts, tracing the family’s humble beginnings following their immigration to Alabama from Bavaria in the mid-19th century to the pinnacle of their success and, ultimately, their demise. The historic and dramatic collapse of the investment bank that bore their name catalyzed the 2008 financial crisis.

Penned by novelist and playwright Stefano Massini, The Lehman Trilogy has received widespread acclaim for its insightful exploration of finance, ambition, and the human condition. The play has been celebrated for its thought-provoking narrative and ETC’s production, set against a stunning backdrop designed by Fred Kinney, promises to deliver an intimate and unforgettable experience for theater enthusiasts.

“Embracing theatricality is paramount in conveying the grandeur and scope of this captivating narrative,” Nguyễn stated in and interview with ETC. “Through a meticulous fusion of elements such as intense projection design, immersive soundscapes, transformative lighting, costumes, props, and scenic design, coupled with the exceptional talent of our three lead actors, we aim to fully realize the depth and complexity of the Lehman saga.”

ETC has assembled a stellar cast, featuring Troy Blendell, Chris Butler, and Leo Marks. Experienced in both TV and the stage, these actors bring a range of past roles to draw from, including Snowfall (Blendell), True Blood (Butler), and The Last Tycoon (Marks).

Previews will be Thursday, April 4th at 6:30pm and Friday, April 5th at 7pm. The Lehman Trilogy runs from Saturday, April 6th at 7pm through Sunday, April 21st, at 1pm. Performances are Wednesdays and Thursdays at 6:30pm, Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm, and Sundays at 1pm; with added performances on Sunday, April 7th at 7pm, Tuesday, April 9th at 6:30pm, Saturday, April 13th at 1pm, and Wednesday, April 17th at 1pm.

Two Women Philanthropists Honored by Maritime Museum

By Sigrid Toye / Special to VOICE

ALL IT TOOK WAS A SHORT WALK ALONG THE SANTA

BARBARA HARBOR BREAKWATER on an (almost) Spring day to remind me of the spirit of generosity innate in our community. The 28 breakwater flags represent only a small sample of the over 2,000 + charitable non-profit organizations in the Santa Barbara area. Among the flags welcoming harbor visitors is the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum where the rich history of the Santa Barbara Channel is showcased.

Recently the Maritime Museum held its annual fundraiser honoring two women philanthropists whose generosity has allowed this non-profit to expand to Dart Coffee at SBMM. Especially inspirational to me, they represented a generational spectrum of giving: Robyn Parker, a wife and mother with two little girls and Marie Morrisroe, a widow whose interests include volunteering and philanthropy.

Robyn Richards Parker is a fifth generation Santa Barbarian, a K- 12 student at Laguna Blanca with a degree in Business Economics from UCSB. Between her studies and family life she worked as a child actor in Los Angeles on the daytime drama General Hospital — for 13 years! Now, how’s that for a resume?

Weekends were spent with her parents and grandparents at the Santa Barbara Yacht Club where I knew her as a proficient sailor and an enthusiastic participant in harbor activities. The Yacht Club included the Parker family, however she and her future husband, Jess, only discovered one another crewing on the Parker/Yabsley iconic sailboat, Taxi Dancer in their early 20’s. Understandable for a girl working as an actor, attending school in two locations with family commitments while earning a degree in Business Economics!

“It was only after I married Jess in 2011 and worked at the HuttonParker Foundation that I really became aware of the expanse of the non-profit sector in our community,” Parker admitted. Her responsibilities as Program Officer were to field all Foundation inquiries, assist with funding programs and grant management, and serve on the Selection Committee. Since then Parker continues her engagement in the non-profit community, chairing events such as the VNA Charity Regatta. Parker’s other interests include CASA, the Museum of Natural History, Botanic Garden, the Bowl, the Zoo, and the Maritime Museum.

Parker stepped back from the Foundation with the arrival of their second child to become a full-time mom. Her ‘free’ time involves her children, their schools, and extra curricular activities at museums and venues in town: the Zoo, MOXI, the Botanic Gardens, and ... the Maritime Museum! Parker sees the museum as a child friendly center at the harbor and supporting Dart Coffee at SBMM seemed a natural fit for the Hutton-Parker Foundation and a draw for young families such as her own.“Our families have so much history with our harbor plus this project is very close to my heart … to all you Moms out there, I’ll see you down at the harbor!” she said.

court reporter until her retirement in 1993.

The San Gabriel Valley’s toasty weather sent the couple in search of a weekend home.

“Manhattan Beach was it,” Morrisroe chuckled, “but stopped in LA traffic didn’t seem like a great weekend.” Up the coast in Santa Barbara, Montecito Shores became their weekend getaway and in 1996 they moved there permanently. After her husband’s passing in 2002, Morrisroe’s interest in volunteerism and philanthropy began at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and continues to this day. The Search Dog Foundation, a Santa Paula non-profit that trains dogs for partnership with First Responders is an outlet for her love of animals. Finding the Maritime Museum was a result of a friend’s invitation to an evening lecture, and the rest, as they say, is history! “Santa Barbara has so many worthwhile options that it’s hard to choose,” Morrisroe conceded. Fortunately for the Maritime Museum, she counted it among her very limited choices!

These two hard working women across generations have the spirit of giving that is at the heart of our beautiful harbor and the greater community.

Stay tuned for the opening of the new coffee shop!

A California native, Marie Morrisroe grew up in Los Angeles, the younger of two sisters. Her early years included an education and a job! Introduced by a mutual friend, she met her future husband, David, a co-worker at the same company. “Actually, we met at a bar!” she insisted with her infectious laugh. They married in New York City between semesters at Harvard Business School where David was a student. Their journey led them from NYC back to settle in Pasadena for his position as Vice-President at the California Institute of Technology. The Superior Court of the State of California saw Morrisroe as a

One805 Announces Grants to Support First Responders

By John Palminteri / Special to VOICE

WELL EQUIPPED 1ST RESPONDERS is the goal of One805, a Santa Barbara nonprofit, and $582,000 in grants presented recently at a gathering of the Board and guests will help make that happen.

“We are taking our lead directly from the Advisory Council as they know, better than anyone, what their specific needs are,” said Richard Weston-Smith, COO of One805. “It is also important to note that many items are shared across the various organizations in Santa Barbara County. Mental health support is another critical category of support that helps to ensure that we are taking care of those who take care of us,” continued Weston Smith.

The organization hosts special events to raise funds throughout the year including its One805Live! Fall Concert that took place in September of 2023 at Kevin Costner’s estate in Summerland with headliner Maroon 5 and special guests including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Oprah, Ellen DeGeneres, and many others. One805 events serve to raise funds to support Santa Barbara County first responders.

Commenting about their last fundraiser at the Kevin Costner estate, which drew some of the most famous people in the world, County Sheriff Bill Brown said, “an incredible line up. You could not get a lineup like that anywhere in the world. It is an amazing testament to the organizational skills of the folks, as well as the largess and generosity of the performers who came.”

One805’s Advisory Council is made up of the heads of all eleven first responder departments in Santa Barbara County. The council makes recommendations for allocation of funds for these grants. The Advisory Council ensures funds raised by One805 are directed according to need. Grants go toward equipment, mental health services and resources, and disaster preparedness.

“We have had huge support from our donors and huge support from our community. We have raised $582,000 that we have given away – a large amount of it for equipment needs and an equally large amount for mental wellness,” Weston-Smith told the crowd. “Our mental wellness reserve fund now stands at nearly $450,000. It’s amazing... When we jumped into this two years ago we had nothing.”

“If we look back to the beginning of my career 30-something years ago, mental health issues were squashed; they were hidden; they were not talked about. And now the stigma has been removed. Mental health is seen equally as physical health. That’s the way it should be,” said Chris Males, Santa Barbara City Fire Chief.

The grants were presented during One805’s annual Honorary Board Cocktail reception at the Montecito Club.

“What I want people to know is what an extraordinary year this is because we have had incredible generosity from our donors and because of that we’re going to give a huge amount of money and grants to our chiefs,” enthused Kirsten Cavendish Weston-Smith, ONE805 Co-Founder.

Retail Inflation is the Problem

TBy Harlan Green, Special to VOICE

HERE IS A REASON THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO PREVENT

THE MERGER of Kroger and Albertsons Supermarket chains. It lowers competition at a time when the largest retailers are now responsible for much of the inflation that has fueled the Fed’s reluctance to lower interest rates.

How do we know that? Retail companies such as Walmart, Home Depot, Costco, Lowes, CVS, and Target have reported record profits since the Pandemic, according to a recent report by Accountable.us, a nonpartisan 501(c)3 organization that reports on “special interests that too often wield unchecked power and influence in Washington and beyond.”

retail prices that must factor in labor and capital costs. But those costs remain largely constant, so much of the difference must come from higher profit margins of retailers.

Voices are now growing louder for an earlier rate cut than in June that markets have currently predicted, in part because retail sales are faltering. Retail sales rose 0.6 percent in February from the previous month, according to Census Bureau data, but January retail sales previously posted a surprise -1.1 percent decrease. They have been trending downward since September 2023.

Economic VOICE

By Harlan Green

It reports that “a new analysis of earnings data of the ten largest U.S. retailers by market capitalization finding that they all raised consumer prices while collectively reporting $24.6 billion in increased profits during their most recent fiscal years. These same companies also ramped up spending on shareholder handouts by nearly $45 billion year-over-year for a total of $79.1 billion.”

This is while wholesale PPI price inflation for the raw materials that go into retail products is close to zero. The PPI approached zero percent in June 2023 and has remained below two percent annually since then. Supply may become oversupply, in other words, continuing to bring down wholesale prices.

This is opposed to the most recent Consumer Price Index of retail prices that is still hot, with annual inflation rate up slightly from 3.1 to 3.2 percent in February, and core inflation with food and energy prices now 3.8 percent.

It highlights the chasm between wholesale and

Retail inflation is largely due to corporate greed, which is out of the Fed’s control.

So there are now voices saying the Fed should pay less attention to its target rate of two percent and reduce interest rates sooner. “Given that the labor market is tight, the economy is running well and corporate fundamentals are looking pretty good, I’m not sure we need two percent inflation,” said another economist in a MarketWatch interview.

The chorus for rate cuts will grow louder as further weaknesses in retail sales appear in coming months.

6. Prevailing Wage Requirements.

6.1 General. Pursuant to California Labor Code § 1720 et seq., this Project is subject to the prevailing wage requirements applicable to the locality in which the Work is to be performed for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to perform the Work, including employer payments for health and welfare, pension, vacation, apprenticeship and similar purposes.

6.2 Rates. The prevailing rates are on file with City and are available online at http://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSR. Each Contractor and Subcontractor must pay no less than the specified rates to all workers employed to work on the Project. The schedule of per diem wages is based upon a working day of eight hours. The rate for holiday and overtime work must be at least time and one-half. Attention is directed to the Federal minimum wage rate requirements in the specifications. If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate. The City of Santa Barbara will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes “helper” (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by the Contractor and subcontractors, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate, which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question. Federal wage determinations issued under the DavisBacon and related Acts are available electronically at no cost at Wage Determinations OnLine.gov, http://www.wdol.gov/Index.aspx. This is a federally-assisted project and DavisBacon (DBRA) requirements will be strictly enforced. The Federal Contract Provisions will be incorporated into the successful bidder’s contract as applicable and are attached hereto as “Special Conditions Part 1 - Federal Contract Provisions for FAA AIP Projects.” Contractors, including all subcontractors and apprentices, must be eligible to participate. Actual prevailing wage rates will be determined as of the bid opening date. If any modifications have been issued to the wage decision, the contractor must adhere to the modified wage decision.

6.3 Compliance. The Contract will be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR, under Labor Code § 1771.4, and the Federal Contract Provisions for AIP Funded Projects, and the Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular 150-5370-10H.

7. Performance and Payment Bonds. The successful bidder will be required to provide performance and payment bonds, each for 100% of the Contract Price, as further specified in the Contract Documents.

8. Substitution of Securities. Substitution of appropriate securities in lieu of retention amounts from progress payments is permitted under Public Contract Code § 22300.

Each bidder must submit a completed Subcontractor List form with its Bid Proposal, including the name, location of the place of business, California contractor license number, DIR registration number, and percentage of the Work to be performed (based on the base bid price) for each Subcontractor that will perform Work or service or fabricate or install Work for the prime contractor in excess of one-half of 1% of the bid price, using the Subcontractor List form included with the Contract Documents.

Timetables

Goals for minority participation for each trade: 19.7%

Goals for female participation in each trade: 6.9%

These goals are applicable to all of the Contractor’s construction work (whether or not it is Federal or federally assisted) performed in the covered area. If the Contractor performs construction work in a geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall apply the goals established for such geographical area where the work is actually performed. With regard to this second area, the Contractor also is subject to the goals for both its federally involved and nonfederally involved construction.

The Contractor’s compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4 shall be based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations required by the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a) and its efforts to meet the goals. The hours of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade, and the Contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor or from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor’s goals shall be a violation of the contract, the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.

C. The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) within 10 working days of award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the contract resulting from this solicitation.

(2) CIVIL RIGHTS – TITLE VI ASSURANCE

The CITY of SANTA BARBARA, in accordance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (78 Stat. 252, 42 USC §§ 2000d to 2000d-4) and the Regulations, hereby notifies all bidders or offerors that it will affirmatively ensure that for any contract entered into pursuant to this advertisement disadvantaged business enterprises will be afforded full and fair opportunity to submit bids in response to this invitation and no businesses will be discriminated against on the grounds of race, color, national origin (including limited English proficiency), creed, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), age, or disability in consideration for an award.

(3) DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE)

The Owner’s award of this contract is conditioned upon Bidder or Offeror satisfying the good faith effort requirements of 49 CFR § 26.53.

As a condition of responsibility, every Bidder or Offeror must submit the following information on the forms provided herein within five days after bid opening.

A) The names and addresses of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms that will participate in the contract;

B) A description of the work that each DBE firm will perform;

D) Written statement from Bidder or Offeror that attests their commitment to use the DBE firm(s) listed under (1) to meet the Owner’s project goal;

E) Written confirmation from each listed DBE firm that it is participating in the contract in the kind and amount of work provided in the prime contractor’s commitment; and

F) If Bidder or Offeror cannot meet the advertised project DBE goal, evidence of good faith efforts undertaken by the Bidder or Offeror as described in appendix A to 49 CFR part 26. The documentation of good faith efforts must include copies of each DBE and nonDBE subcontractor quote submitted to the bidder when a non-DBE subcontractor was selected over a DBE for work on the contract.

(4) FEDERAL FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT (FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE)

All contracts and subcontracts that result from this solicitation incorporate by reference the provisions of 29 CFR part 201, et seq, the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), with the same force and effect as if given in full text. The FLSA sets minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards for full and part-time workers. The Contractor has full responsibility to monitor compliance to the referenced statute or regulation. The Contractor must address any claims or disputes that arise from this requirement directly with the U.S. Department of Labor – Wage and Hour Division.

(5) FOREIGN TRADE RESTRICTION CERTIFICATION

C) has not entered into any subcontract for any product to be used on the Federal project that is produced in a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the USTR.

This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States of America and the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to prosecution under Title 18 USC § 1001.

The Offeror/Contractor must provide immediate written notice to the Owner if the Offeror/ Contractor learns that its certification or that of a subcontractor was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. The Contractor must require subcontractors provide immediate written notice to the Contractor if at any time it learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by the Secretary of Transportation in accordance with 49 CFR § 30.17, no contract shall be awarded to an Offeror or subcontractor:

A) who is owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the USTR; or

B) whose subcontractors are owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country on such USTR list; or

C) who incorporates in the public works project any product of a foreign country on such USTR list.

Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by this provision. The knowledge and information of a contractor is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings. The Offeror agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate this provision for certification without modification in all lower tier subcontracts. The Contractor may rely on the certification of a prospective subcontractor that it is not a firm from a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by USTR, unless the Offeror has knowledge that the certification is erroneous. This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making an award. If it is later determined that the Contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may direct through the Owner cancellation of the contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the Owner or the FAA.

A Draft Negative Declaration has been prepared for the following project, pursuant to the State of California Public Resources Code and the “Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970,” as amended to date.

PROJECT LOCATION: City of Santa Barbara

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Climate Action Plan Update (CAP Update) modernizes the City of Santa Barbara 2012 Climate Action Plan and provides a roadmap of specific actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve City emission targets. The CAP Update also comprehensively analyzes and programmatically addresses the City’s greenhouse impacts and is considered a qualified greenhouse gas emission reduction plan for the purpose of meeting the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Master Environmental Assessment Guidelines for Greenhouse Gas Emission Analysis (Guidelines) outlines how future development projects and plans demonstrate consistency with the CAP Update in a streamlined manner with a checklist. The Guidelines also establish a greenhouse gas impact analysis methodology and threshold of significance for those limited projects or plans that are not able to demonstrate consistency with the CAP Update through the checklist and must undergo more thorough review to satisfy the requirements of CEQA.

Draft EnvironmEntal DocumEnt: An Initial Study and a Draft Negative Declaration (Draft ND) have been prepared for this project and are available for review and comment. The Draft ND examines environmental impacts which may be associated with this project. No significant environmental effects are identified in the Draft ND. The City of Santa

Barbara includes sites on lists enumerated under Section 65962.5 of the government code; however, the project would not result in significant impacts.

DocumEnt availability: The Draft ND is available for review at the Planning Counter at 630 Garden Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 and online at www.SantaBarbaraCA.gov/climate.

Public commEnt PErioD: The City of Santa Barbara encourages the public to provide written comment on this and other projects. The public review period begins on Friday March 22, 2024. Comments on the Draft ND must be submitted by Wednesday April 24, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. Please send your comments to: City of Santa Barbara, Sustainability and Resilience Department, Attn: Melissa Hetrick, Resilience Program Supervisor P.O. Box 1990, Santa Barbara, CA 931021990, or send them electronically to CAP@SantaBarbaraCA. gov.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEARING: Any interested person may request a hearing before the Planning Commission to comment on the Draft ND by completing and filing a hearing request with the Planning Division on or before April 1, 2024. If requested, a Planning Commission hearing will then be scheduled for Thursday, April 18, 2024 at 1:00 p.m.*. If you have any questions, wish to know more about this application, wish to review the plans, or wish to request a public hearing, please contact Melissa Hetrick, Resilience Program Supervisor, at CAP@SantaBarbaraCA.gov or (805) 991-2447 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. (Monday through Friday). Please note, a hearing to take public comment will only be held if specifically requested, otherwise, review and adoption of the Draft ND, along with the project review, will occur at a later public hearing of the Planning Commission. The special hearing would ONLY be to take additional public comment on the Draft ND, not the project itself.

FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT: Following the end of the Draft ND public review period, a Final Negative Declaration including responses to comments will be prepared and

Insertion

Submitted by Stephanie Fry

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of Barbara Frances Levenstein.

A Petition for Probate has been filed by Marla Levenstein in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara.

The Petition for Probate requests that Marla Levenstein be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 04/25/2024; Time: 9:00 a.m.; Dept.: 5 of the SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARARA, ANACAPA DIVISION, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

Please

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the Court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Darrel E. Parker, Executive Officer, Electronically filed 2/29/2024 by Nicolette Barnard, Deputy.

Wood Duck ~ Aix sponsa

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

DUCK SEASON in Santa Barbara is winter. Most species spend the winter months with us but breed elsewhere. The few exceptions include the Wood Duck, which sometimes nests along inland waterways in our county. Females select nest holes in trees (and will use nest boxes), usually over the water. Once they hatch, the day-old ducklings leap from the nest hole to the waiting female, splashing down to swim away with her. This male plays no part in rearing young, but his splendid, sexy plumage is a patchwork of emerald, golden, indigo, turquoise, rufous, buff, and chestnut.

Ask any birder: duck season is glorious.

No-Waste Earth: The Recycled Show

SBy Jesse Caverly / VOICE ANTA BARBARA IS THE PERFECT

PLACE

TO PUT YOUR TRASH ON

EXHIBIT. Discarded and unwanted refuse is now art, and the Community Arts Workshop is presenting it to you front and center in The Recycled Show, opening with a reception on March 29th, from 5 to 9pm.

The old adage “Art is theft” feels somewhat antiquated now, in the age of generative AI and music sampling. Much art has almost been eclipsed, even nullified by apps that can “do it all” with a few quick swipes and taps on our phones. Couple this with the perils our contemporary climate and environment face and perhaps “Art is recycling” might be more apt.

At CAW, this will be taken to a logical conclusion in their up-coming exhibit: bottle caps are woven into colorful quilts; small plastic gears, tiny rubber ducks, buttons, and the broken off arms of eyeglasses silhouette a bumble bee; and tangled fishing lures, rusting, oxidized railroad ties, and

found objects find new meaning in assemblage.

None of this is lost on Jami Joelle Nielsen, the exhibit’s organizer and curator. “We have a staggering variety and number of interdisciplinary, innovative, educational, philanthropic, environmental, and creative organizations, endeavors and qualities serving the framework of our community, so much so that when I considered organizing an annual recycled art exhibit, I was surprised we didn’t already have one. After all, this is Santa Barbara — aka ‘Paradise,’ and home to the 1969 Oil Spill, which galvanized the Earth Day movement and spurred the creation of the nation’s first collegiate Environmental Studies Program at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The Channel Islands off our coast are often referred to as ‘The Galapagos of North America’ for the biodiversity found in our local waters and adjacent ecosystems.”

This inspired Nielsen to ask a dozen local artists to create recycled works of art centered on an environmental issue of their choice, and to compose a narrative to accompany their artwork. The issues that the artists presented range from Climate Change to Species Extinction, Fast Fashion to the Pollinator

Crisis, Wildfires, Tech Waste, and so on. There is, sadly, no shortage of subject matter to address.

“In these modern times of anthropogenic flux and climate instability, recycled art fits in now more than ever,” Jami says. “Our consumption habits make waste materials ubiquitous and readily accessible as a resource for creative endeavors that also reflect and draw attention to the crisis of human pollution threatening both ecosystem and human health. Art is a vital modality that speaks to the need for change. In a world where generative AI art is becoming so prevalent, recycled materials and analog methods of creative expression provide greater possibilities for tangible ingenuity and commentary than that which AI can produce.”

The opening reception will feature a live interactive plastic “mandala” art assemblage, poetry, music, a “Make a Fish Wish” for the planet activity, a showing of the environmental art film Wasteland, and tabling by environmental organizations like Channelkeeper and Heal the Ocean, as well as light snacks and beverages.

SB Funk Zone Live Bimonthly Events Start March 29th

By Jesse Caverly / VOICE

THE FUNK ZONE, long a hub for the arts, dining, wine, beer and spirits, retail shops, and hotels, now seeks to bring it all together for the public in SB Funk Zone Live. Similar to the popular Downtown Santa Barbara 1st Thursday events, Funk Zone Live venues will open their doors late from 5 to 8pm on the last Fridays every other month. The first event is set for March 29th. Everything from handcrafted items to the culinary arts will be on deck this month.

If you think you’ve heard this before, this is different. “The Funk Zone Live 2024 diverges from the former Funk Zone Art Walk,” said Jana Brody, event coordinator. “Its participants are uniting as a local business coalition. They convene face-to-face, forging connections, and collectively generating innovative strategies for promotion and dissemination.”

On board for the first event, 19 Zone business owners and artists gathered together at Jill Johnson’s Lovelorn/ Rodeo Gallery to brainstorm, network, and collaborate on advertising as they planned for their launch.

“It’s exciting to see the Funk Zone’s business sector

joining forces and creative energy to support each other,” Brody added. “Everyone understands the Arts are Santa Barbara’s economic superheroes, boosting tourism, creating jobs, and supporting local businesses. Our vibrant arts scene isn’t just beautiful—it’s a powerhouse for our economy, showing that creativity has the amazing ability to bring prosperity to our wonderful city!”

Brody continued, “These small business owners are artisans, each crafting not just traditional hangon-the-wall art, but also food, wine, beer, clothing, and jewelry,” Brody says.

Bringing together the larger community, SB Funk Zone Live promises a unique and eclectic experience for locals and visitors alike and will offer something for all ages. Each registered venue will have an art element; non art venues are asked to feature a
