2021 ArchitecTours Invites Community to Celebrate Design Excellence

G

By Daisy Scott, VOICE

RANTING SPECIAL INSIGHT INTO LOCAL ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY AND UTILITY, the American Institute of Architects Santa Barbara Chapter’s ArchitecTours are returning for their 12th season this fall. Hosted virtually between 9am-3:30pm Saturday, October 2nd, this year’s event emphasizes the theme “Design Excellence” by highlighting six unique structures across Santa Barbara, Goleta, and Ojai. In doing so, the organization will showcase projects that reflect 21st century needs and ideals, including demonstrating sustainability and equitable housing solutions.

“We can be really thoughtful and intentional about our responsibility to what it means to live in the 21st century and to not take away from other people’s access when we decide to make something beautiful,” explained ArchitecTours Chair Cash Upton.

“Really having the meshing of sustainability with thoughtful design and really where those two meet.”

Through a combination of live, virtual tours, and pre-recorded presentations with live Q&As, ArchitecTours attendees will be able to hear directly from each project’s architects and in some cases, its general contractor. Discussions of each project are scheduled throughout the day, offering participants the chance to view all or select tours. Recordings will also be available to rewatch for four weeks following October 2nd.

“I almost think it can be a little bit more intimate than some past years, because when there’s hundreds of people going through a home, the architect has little time to give to every single person,” shared Upton. “This will be a bit more of an intimate one-on-one where the architect is talking to the participants for an hour.”

Every highlighted project Casa Pequeña connects back to the concept of design excellence in various ways.

For instance, the Thacher School’s Gates Building as well as its Dining Pavilion in Ojai reflect green building and an awareness for combating climate change. The tour of La Rana Canta, a single family home also in Ojai, will beautifully demonstrate building in harmony with nature.

Small, efficient spaces will be celebrated in the tours of an accessory dwelling unit named Casa Pequeña as well as the 800 square feet Mountain Drive Cabana, both located in Santa Barbara. The presentation on Casa Pequeña was also chosen for demonstrating equitable housing solutions by showing ways to add housing density in creative ways.

The Santa Barbara Islamic Center in Goleta will also be featured for exemplifying exceptional design work.

ArchitecTours tickets cost $35 for the general public, with a $25 fee available for seniors, students, and AIA members. For tickets and info visit www.aiasb.com/architectours-2021

The entire Bib Gourmand selection will be available on the MICHELIN Guide iOS and Android app on Tuesday, September 28th, when the Star selection will be announced.

Westmont Receives Largest Cash Gifts in College’s History

I

N A DISPLAY OF UNPRECEDENTED COMMUNITY SUPPORT, Westmont College has received two major gifts totaling more than $15 million from four individuals committed to Westmont’s mission. Ed and Mollie Miller donated $8.2 million late last month, marking the largest single gift Westmont has ever been given. Just prior to this, Celeste and Dr. Robert White gave a $7.25 million gift, the college’s second largest single donation.

Ed and Mollie Miller’s gift will support the Paul Raymond Miller Scholarship Endowment, which was named for Ed’s father and created when their daughter attended Westmont. This scholarship has continued to support students’ financial aid needs for the past 35 years. Ed and Mollie Miller Ed Miller also previously served on the Westmont Board of Trustees for 17 years.

“I loved working with Ed when he was a board member, and Mollie is a delightful human being,” says Westmont President Gayle D. Beebe. “Ed is a straight shooter. You never have to guess where he’s coming from or how he’s thinking through a situation.

Both are highly principled people of faith, and their priorities in life shine through in this gift.”

Celeste and Dr. Robert White’s gift has funded Westmont’s purchase of a four-story building located at 29 W. Anapamu St., which is located across from the Westmont Downtown Center at 26 W. Anapamu St. Together, these two spaces total almost 30,000 square feet to support Westmont’s downtown programs, such as its program in capital and social entrepreneurship and its new nursing program in partnership with Cottage Health. Beyond this gift, Celeste White currently serves as a Westmont board member, with Robert being involved with the college for over 40 years.

“I’m so grateful for Celeste’s service as a board member,” said President Beebe. “She demonstrates her Celeste and Dr. Robert White deep and abiding loyalty and commitment to the college in numerous ways. For example, all four of their children attended Westmont. In addition, Robert has been a great partner with Celeste in embracing all things Westmont. Together they have given generously and cared deeply about the college’s life and mission.”

Community News A Salute to Teachers to Recognize Distinguished Mentors and New Educators

I

N HONOR OF THEIR TEACHING EXCELLENCE AND KEY MENTORSHIP SERVICE, three Distinguished New Educators and three Distinguished Mentors will be recognized at the eighth annual A Salute to Teachers Gala.

Sponsored by the Santa Barbara County Education Office, the event will be held on November 6th at the Music Academy of the West.

“A Salute to Teachers honors the invaluable contributions these local educators make in their classrooms and schools every day,” said County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Susan Salcido. “New educators bring a tremendous amount of energy and inspiration to our teaching profession; mentor teachers help to share wisdom and provide the support that comes from lived experiences from the field... To celebrate these educators through A Salute to Teachers is one way Santa Barbara County can say ‘Thank you for all you do for students, families, and our communities.’”

Lorena Armstrong

Riccardo Magni

Melissa Woods

Among this year’s Distinguished Mentors is Lorena Armstrong, who has taught at Mary Buren Elementary for the past seven years. In this role, she has shown her students the value of lifelong learning by way of example, and adjusts her classroom instruction to best support her students.

Riccardo Magni will also be recognized for his dedication to teaching science at Pioneer Valley High School for 18 years. Beyond this work, Magni additionally serves as a department chair, coach, and mentor, and encourages his teaching candidates through offering suggestions that still honor their individual teaching styles.

The final Distinguished Mentor will be Melissa Woods, who has contributed to Dos Pueblos High School’s science education for over 20 years, accumulating multiple awards and grants from UCSB. She is known for cultivating lasting relationships with both students and colleagues, and greatly supports the Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy’s sense of community.

The Distinguished New Educators to be honored include Samantha Ayala, a fifth grade teacher working with La Honda STEAM Academy within the Lompoc Unified School District. In addition to her teaching, she devotes a great deal of time to the Student Council and after-school program, supporting students in developing leadership skills and academic growth.

TJ Berry, a history teacher at Santa Ynez Valley Union High School, will also be recognized for his thoughtfulness and skill for establishing positive relationships campuswide. Utilizing project-based learning activities, he offers students different ways to interact with his class curriculum, and supports students’ ownership of learning.

The last Distinguished New Educator to be honored will be Christina Peña Eckert, who works at Carpinteria Middle School. Caring, intuitive, and responsive to student needs, she is dedicated to the Carpinteria Middle School community and frequently shares AVID strategies at staff meetings to further support learning and teaching campuswide.

Veterans and Internees Eligible for Retroactive High School Diploma Program

T

O SUPPORT COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO EITHER LEFT HIGH SCHOOL TO SERVE IN THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES OR WERE INTERNED IN RELOCATION CAMPS DURING WORLD WAR II, the Santa Barbara County Education Office is continuing its Operation Recognition program. Through this program, eligible veterans and previously interned individuals may receive retroactive high school diplomas by SBCEO. “We are honored to recognize the service and sacrifice of these individuals by presenting them with their diplomas,” said Santa Barbara County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Susan Salcido. “In 2019, six distinguished veterans received their high school diplomas, and we look forward to celebrating the Class of 2022.”

Currently, individuals who served in WWII (between December 7th, 1941 December 31st, 1946), the Korean War (June 27th, 1950 - January 31st 1955), and the Vietnam War (February 28th, 1961 - May 7th, 1975) and were honorably discharged are eligible for this program. Additionally, people who were interned in a relocation camp between September 16th, 1940 and December 31st, 1946 are also eligible.

Moreover, all program members must have been enrolled in a high school prior to their internment or enlistment, and been unable to receive their diploma as a result of these events. Community members can also apply posthumously for any deceased family member who meets this criteria.

Applications are open now through January 14th, 2022, with an Operation Recognition graduation ceremony planned for April 7th, 2022. Applications in English and Spanish can be downloaded at https://tinyurl.com/2j5j6a4e and https://tinyurl. com/e3e9p75a, respectively.

SBPL Hosts Event Series Celebrating Culture of SB Latin American Immigrants

J

OIN A MONTH-LONG CELEBRATION OF THE CULTURE OF SANTA BARBARA LATIN AMERICAN IMMIGRANTS as the Santa Barbara Public Library embarks on a special event series designed to connect local immigrants with each other and promote community-wide awareness.

Hosted with support from a California Humanities Library Innovation Lab grant, the Integrating Immigrants Series includes opportunities to appreciate food, art, poetry, and music of the Latin American immigrant community.

Each event was created through great public outreach to ensure the series best reflected the interests of the local immigrant community.

“The immigrants I met with all expressed a desire to participate in events that allow them to reconnect with their culture and traditions in a welcoming and safe space where they can explore and share aspects of Latin American culture, and somehow feel at home again with people that represent their culture,” said Eric Castro, Library Innovation Lab leader for SBPL. “Especially important to them was finding ways to share aspects of their culture with their children.”

The series began earlier this month through the Things We Do Not Say art exhibit, which is currently on display in the Central Library’s Faulkner Gallery through October 30th. Showcasing the works of local Latin American immigrant artists, the exhibition explores immigrants’ experiences and identities in order to prompt open, intergenerational conversations.

Additionally, the Taste of Home Cookbook Contest, which is open to submissions through October 15th. This contest recognizes the value of recipes to one’s culture and personal history, and invites individuals from the immigrant community to submit family recipes for a cookbook that SBPL will publish and add to their collections.

There will also be an Immigrant Identity Bilingual Poetry/Zine Workshop hosted on the Eastside Library’s outdoor patio at 5:30pm Friday, October 1st, as well as an Afro-Peruvian Concert with musical trio Radio Café at the Central Library’s lower plaza at 5:30pm on Friday, October 15th.

Feeling anxious, fatigued, depressed, or just experiencing isolation challenges?

Hypnosis can help.

Reaching into the depths of our unconscious mind, we are able to find the resources needed to remain calm, feel inner peace, and even find joy in the midst of the chaos in our lives and the world. In-person or on-line sessions.

805 University

By Daisy Scott / VOICE

OASTING LARGER-THANLIFE MURALS surrounding an impressive inventory of vintage sports apparel, 805 University is bringing fresh energy to the downtown vintage clothing scene. Recently opened at its new location on 920 State Street, the store carries stylish items representing dozens of teams nationwide. Accordingly, it’s quickly becoming a hot spot for local sports fans of all ages, providing them a place to shop and connect with others over shared passions.

“We get a different experience here,” said owner Andrew Gonzales.

“People are in here for hours digging through the clothes and reminiscing and saying, ‘oh, look at this, remember this, and remember this?’

And that’s a good feeling.”

Born and raised Andrew Gonzales in Santa Barbara, Gonzales’ business journey began with his founding and coaching a basketball team for his son, leading him to take on administrative tasks such as organizing tournaments and designing and purchasing team jerseys. Once his son went to high school, Gonzales noticed the rising popularity of vintage sportswear among younger generations. He promptly decided to merge his business experiences with his love of sports to launch his own business.

“It’s cool to see today’s youth wearing exactly what we wore when we grew up, when

we were ten years old, 15 years old, like starter jackets and starter jerseys — everything that you can imagine from back then,” commented Gonzales.

Gonzales has operated his business for five years, initially selling vintage items via Instagram. Later, he partnered with local business 805 to open his first store in Goleta, named 805 Clothing Company. When the partnership ended two years ago, Gonzales renamed his business 805 University to reflect its proximity to UCSB. Now, motivated by the many available spaces downtown and the hope of better foot traffic, 805 University has made its State Street debut. In doing so, Gonzales is directly contributing to the recent surge in local businesses opening in the downtown area. He also plans to feature various artists and vendors through popup shops in the future.

“As a kid it was different, you’d never see all these vacancies, you always had these stores filled,” shared Gonzales.

“It feels good to be able to be one of the people that [fills] the spot and is representative for his community...

It makes me want to do more in the community, honestly.”

Inside 805 University, customers can select how they’d like to display their favorite teams from an abundance of vintage jackets, jerseys, and t-shirts. There are also some shirts featuring bands, Harley Davidson, video games, and other familiar logos. Along the back wall, shelves of snapbacks and hats offer additional ways to show team pride.

Gonzales personally picks out every item within 805 University, selecting pieces based on customer feedback and interest. He finds them through visits to thrift shops and vintage Photo courtesy of 805 University

B

Puts a Fresh Spin on Vintage Sportswear markets, searching online, and buying from customers and wholesalers in Los Angeles.

Yet for all its focus on vintage items, 805 University holds a distinctly modern, relaxed atmosphere. Vibrant murals by local artist Griffin Lounsbury cover the walls, filling the space with red and blue patterns, reinterpretations of the store’s logo, and a stunning mural of rapper Nipsey Hussle. Rap and hip-hop music play overhead, completing the store’s fresh yet classic feel.

805 University is open 11-8pm Mon-Sat, and 11-5pm Sun at 920 State Street www.805university.myshopify.com

NDER THE LAST WEEKEND’S SUNNY AUTUMN SKIES (NO FOG!) I decided to take a little jaunt along the harbor breakwater. Remembering last week’s column on the Yacht Club’s successful Charity Regatta for the benefit of VNA Health, I was reminded that our harbor is lucky enough to have not one, but two very active sailing clubs. Glancing up at the first three flags along the breakwater, my eye caught sight of the Santa Barbara Sailing Club’s signature burgee - to quote Webster: “a triangular flag bearing the colors or emblem of a sailing club.” Now... how’s that for the perfect definition?

Although the Santa Barbara Sailing Club (SBSC) is recognized today by its present name, in its infancy it had another one. Back in 1959, a group of dedicated sailors recognized the need for an organization devoted primarily to one class design racing (all boats virtually identical or similar in design, racing without a handicap), and the Small Sailboat Racing Association was established. The founders’ primary objective was to establish an approachable sailing club for both racing and boating enjoyment. An Inaugural Regatta was held in the Fall of 1959 with a turnout of 57 boats. Quite a formidable beginning!

Under the leadership of Commodore Gordon Butcher in 1961, the Small Sailboat Racing Association joined with other clubs to compete with the Santa Barbara Yacht Club for the Adams Trophy. Each competitor was required to fly its club’s burgee, therefore Betty, the Commodore’s wife, hastily designed and fabricated one for the Small Sailboat Racing Association. I’m told it’s that very same design that now graces the SBSC flagpole on the breakwater.

On the 6th of May, 1965, the club was incorporated with a name change to Santa Barbara Sailing Club. The first Opening Day was held in 1969, after which new races were added and the club’s programs expanded. Although the organization’s original boat storage yard was located on Leadbetter Beach, the City of Santa Barbara extended Shoreline Drive and the boat yard was moved to an expansive area in the harbor where it remains today, a rather nice piece of real estate for boat storage with a short hop to the boat hoist.

This year’s signature events are the Cinco de Mayo Regatta, the Goleta Beach Race, and the Goblin Regatta, the nautical version of Halloween. The club has now advanced to Associate Membership in the Southern California Yachting Association, and has expanded its racing program to include PHRF racers, dinghy sailors, cruisers, and day sailors, the only qualification being their mutual love of boats and racing. In partnership with the Pierpont Bay Yacht Club, the SBSC also co-hosts the Hardway Race, which starts in Santa Barbara and rounds the Channel Islands and crosses the finish line in Ventura.

I had the good fortune to reach Michael Schaumburg, treasurer of the SBSC. “I’ve been a happy member of the Santa Barbara Sailing Club for at least 15 years... maybe longer,’” he stated proudly.

A former resident of the Bay Area, Schaumburg was a member of the Richmond Yacht Club, an organization that catered to smaller boats and sailing fun. “When I moved to Santa Barbara the SBSC was the perfect fit, the same friendly, open atmosphere with access to storage and a hoist.” Within a short period of time Schaumburg joined the board as treasurer, and since has seen the expansion of the fleet and the consolidation of the yearly racing calendar. “We are an all volunteer organization whose goal is racing enjoyment and good camaraderie with no paid assistance – in other words, group of fun loving boaters!”

During the yachting season, the SBSC joins their next door neighbor, the Santa Barbara Yacht Club, for the weekly Wet Wednesdays and the Goleta Beach Race. Their next collaboration will be in celebration of Halloween with the Goblin Regatta on the weekend of October 23rd-24th. I’m planning to be watching for the goblins that weekend, why don’t you join me?

It made me understand how much I had always been a stranger to the land on which I had lived, and it opened my eyes to the painful history of colonialism. It sent me travelling to Native communities, and started me working with Native American language scholars and teachers. And it has set me on a course to understand and celebrate these traditions.

Nuclear Age Peace Foundation welcomes Matthew Spellberg as new President

A

By Kerry Methner / VOICE

DYNAMIC NEW VOICE WILL JOIN THE SANTA BARBARA COMMUNITY in October when Matthew Spellberg steps up as the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation’s president. While he will be relocating from the East Coast, he grew up in the Santa Francisco Bay area and looks forward to this “homecoming.”

Spellberg, 34, received his BA and MA from Harvard and his PhD from Princeton. It was during his undergraduate years at Harvard, as Elaine Scarry’s Research Assistant (author of Thermonuclear Monarchy: Choosing Between Democracy and Doom and NAPF Advisor), that his attention to the dangers posed by nuclear weapons began.

Subsequently, he taught Law, Journalism, Literature, and Composition for six years in the New Jersey prison system, at the same time helping to build a fledgling volunteer organization at Princeton into a major prison teaching institution.

His scholarly research focuses on the Indigenous cultures and languages of North America, and on the history of dreaming across different societies. Elected to the Harvard Society of Fellows in 2017, he co-founded Harvard’s Seminar on the Native Cultures of the Americas the following year.

“To me, the highest good is a world in which the human imagination can flourish in all of its forms... and be exercised by all with agency, continuity, and care. We live in an era where technological and structural forces threaten such a vision of the good from all sides. Nuclear weapons are the most extreme form of this threat, promising the destruction of everything we have ever known. But the historical conditions that made nuclear weapons possible are the same that have created a planet paralyzed by inequality, racism, continuous surveillance, exploitation of the land, and the inexhaustible demands of an industrialized economic system.”

He continued, “As President of NAPF I plan to continue and expand the foundation’s legacy in these two directions: fighting to change the human relationship to technology, and exploring alternatives for how we best organize our cultures and live as citizens of this planet. I am honored to be NAPF’s new President.”

Spellberg took time out to answer several questions via email for VOICE readers. They follow in a version edited for length.

VOICE: What was your family’s focus?

Spellberg: My father is a lawyer, and my mother is a doctor—neither is a professional activist, but both are in their way deeply generous people.

Both give freely of their skills and expertise to the people around them, especially those who wouldn’t normally be able to afford such help— they are very modest about this, but I learned a great deal from their example.

The most formative aspect of my childhood, though, was growing up in a bilingual household. My mother’s family is Polish, and my grandparents emigrated after the Second World War. My grandmother especially wanted me to learn Polish, and so I grew up surrounded by older speakers of the language. This meant that I was steeped in a rich heritage of stories, songs, and memories. My grandparents also passed through some of the rawest moments of the 20th century. My grandfather enlisted in the Polish army in 1939, and was taken prisoner by the Russians a few months later. He spent two years in a Siberian POW camp, and was then later returned to active duty in an all-Polish unit of the British Army, fighting in North Africa and Italy. My grandmother worked as a nurse in the underground in occupied Poland before fleeing the Russian advance in 1945. They met as refugees in Italy, where they studied medicine together. These experiences figured largely in my mind as a child, and still do now. My grandparents witnessed immense suffering, and that weighed on them. But they also saw survival as a cause for joy, and this made them vital and humane people. That I was able to learn about all this from them in Polish, their first language, made their history all the more vivid. It gave me a deep appreciation for languages, and for the inheritance of the past.

VOICE: What was your relationship to the earth and human impact on it as a young person?

Spellberg: If my mother gave me the gifts of language and culture, then my father gave me the gift of nature. He grew up in California, and has always loved the California landscape.

Every summer he took me and my brother backpacking in the Sierra Nevadas, and to visit a skyblue lake in the Yosemite high country that is his favorite place in the whole world. My father taught me to love the land wordlessly and unquestioningly, like a child. And he taught me to see communion with the land as a means to affirm your love for other people. We talked

VOICE: How did you make the journey from indigenous languages & culture to the NAPF?

only rarely about the damage humans had done.

It was enough for him to show me the beauty of the world; from there I was able to infer what was at stake in the way the land was being abused.

VOICE: How did you become focused on indigenous culture and language?

Dreaming?

Spellberg: I am a persistent person, and also a restless person. When I become interested in an idea, I hold onto it for years and years, and my approach is to let it lead me as far as it will go, across disciplines, histories, and cultures. I first became interested in dreaming in college, when I read a book by a 19th-century Frenchman, who wrote about his experiments with what we would now call “lucid dreaming,” that is, learning to control your dreams.

What astonished me was the vividness of his descriptions, how he conjured such a beautiful and fantastical world in his sleep. It seemed to me the outer limit of the imagination, and it seemed to me the most democratic form of imagining: not everyone can write a novel, but almost everyone can dream, and can, given the right state of mind, dream spectacularly.

I was amazed to discover that there was a long line of philosophers, artists, and even whole cultures who took dreams seriously as tools for thinking, making, and even acting in the world.

As for Indigenous languages and cultures, I came relatively late to them: it wasn’t until I was 24 or so, and already studying for a PhD in literature. The short version of the story is that I read a book about Indigenous oral traditions and it blew my mind. It made me realize I needed to start my education all over again, from scratch. In the context of my research on dreaming, I realized Indigenous thinkers had much more sophisticated accounts of what happens in your dreams than most European philosophers or neuroscientists.

The longer version of the story goes back to these two great forces in my childhood, Polish culture and California nature. I loved them both; they both shaped me deeply; but I couldn’t quite understand how they coexisted in the world. I remember reading European novels that described birch forests and thinking to myself, what does a birch forest look like? I had never seen one in California. On the flipside, I had never read a story about a Redwood forest.

When I started reading Native American texts I realized that the North American

Spellberg: It has been a very sudden shift in my life—the invitation to apply to NAPF came just a few months ago. I had been planning a more conventional life in academia. But in my interviews with the NAPF board I was amazed by their passionate convictions as well as their adventurousness, and it seemed like a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to try something radical and audacious. Working with Indigenous communities had taught me a lot about the intertwined crises our country faces, and also how much can be learned by venturing outside the university. Both of these gave me the courage to make this big leap.

One other major part of my life deserves mention here: for many years I was involved in prison education in New Jersey. There I learned a lot about how to negotiate with many different actors, like local goverments, different educational institutions, and nonprofits. It was hard work, but I loved it. I felt it was deeply continuous with my more solitary intellectual pursuits, and I’m excited to work in that vein again.

VOICE: Did you have mentors that encouraged you?

Spellberg: I have been fortunate to have wonderful mentors all through my life.

The most important teacher in my life is Elaine Scarry, a professor of mine from college.

It’s through her that I came to know of NAPF and take this job. I learned so many lessons from her, perhaps the most important of which is that if you love the beauty of the world, you must fight to protect it from injustice. My second great mentor in recent years has been Robert Bringhurst, a polymath poet and scholar whose writings introduced me to Native American languages. He has modeled for me a life of total immersion in both nature and culture. My third mentor is not one person, but a group of people.

I study the Tlingit language of Southeast Alaska over Zoom with a small band of linguists, school teachers, and language lovers, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous. We call ourselves “the Tlingit Nerds.” They have taught me everything I know about community.

VOICE: What’s the role of human imagination in addressing critical challenges today?

Spellberg: I think that nowadays many people have a strong sense that they are “against X” – whether that X is nuclear weapons, militarism, climate change, inequality, racism, gun laws.

But we have become very impoverished in the sense of being “for Y.” The writer Mark Fisher was fond of saying “it is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism.” He meant that we have a superabundance of films and novels that depict some kind of apocalypse, but very few documents that show us any viable alternative to the system we live in. You can extend that statement to many issues: it is easier to imagine

T DIDN’T TAKE DIVINING RODS OR SOOTHSAYERS to figure out the upcoming first full season of live concerts by the Santa Barbara Symphony since COVID-19 would be explosive. The 2021-2022 concert schedule presentation and reception at the Lobero Theatre on September 14th made clear, after more than 67 seasons bringing orchestral concerts and guest artists to our city, the orchestra’s purpose, from administration, to conductor, to members of the orchestra, was to welcome audiences back to the orchestra’s Granada Theatre home in a few weeks for one of the most dynamic seasons in its history.

Natasha Kislenko On the Lobero stage for the one-hour presentation were the orchestra’s primary movers and shakers; Janet Garufis, Chair of the Board; Kathryn R. Martin, President and CEO of the orchestra; and Music and Artistic Director, Nir Kabaretti.

Later, Rebecca Roling, new VP of Patron and Community Engagement was introduced to the generous crowd of music lovers in attendance. Slides and short videos a click away on the screen behind him, maestro Kabaretti’s charming anecdotes about each of the upcoming concerts whetted musical appetites and set an easy and informative pace. Symphony Principal Pianist Natasha Kislenko kept the energy level between power points fun and focused, coming on stage from time to time to provide live musical relief, a one musician entr’acte, tickling the house piano’s ivories with musical bits and bobs, mostly Gershwin.

Without doubt, the opening event of the new Symphony season (October 23rd and 24th - Kismet) will knock the socks off Santa Barbara’s artsy set and draw new audiences to the Symphony. A gift to the community from publisher Sara Miller McCune (she’s picking up the production tab) with additional support from the Granada Theatre, a fully staged collaborative production of the historic musical, Kismet, will not only salute the glorious music of Borodin, but feature the State Street Ballet performing new choreography by William Soleau. A cast of singers from around the world will shape this new production under the fastidious tutelage of Broadway director Lonny Price. Conductor Nir Kabaretti will officiate from the pit.

The second pair of concerts (November 13th and 14th - Royal Fireworks) will bring Baroque specialist Nicolas McGegan to the podium. Known to Santa Barbara audiences for his many conducting engagements at the Music Academy of the West over the years, McGegan will transform the color, style, and performance practice of the Santa Barbara Symphony

VOICE: Is it possible to inspire cultures to dream of a healthy, safe, interconnected society?

Spellberg: It is absolutely possible, but we should not underestimate the difficulties involved. Ideas often need years to incubate and grow and reach maturity. They must be carefully cultivated, preserved when fashions change, and revised when unintended consequences crop up.

VOICE: Any additional comments?

Spellberg: I am so excited to get to know Santa Barbara and its people. I know that NAPF has been deeply a part of this community, and I want it to remain that way for years to come. www.WagingPeace.org

EconomicVOICE Where are the Job Openings?

By Harlan Green / Special to VOICE

T

HE NUMBER OF JOB OPENINGS INCREASED TO A SERIES HIGH OF 10.9 MILLION on the last business day of July, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported earlier this month. Job openings increased in several industries, with the largest increases in health care and social assistance (+294,000); finance and insurance (+116,000); and accommodation and food services (+115,000).

Health care job openings surged because the COVID-19 Delta variant is filling hospitals again, while surging consumer spending on leisure and travel is creating a higher demand for jobs in finance, accommodation, and food services.

And now we have looming school openings, which could foster even more job openings, if teachers are reluctant to return to work because of conflicting mask mandates in red states, which, I reported, induces classroom shutdowns with quarantines affecting those not vaccinated or wearing masks.

As of September 2nd, over five million children have tested positive for COVID-19 since the onset of the pandemic, the American Academy of Pediatrics reported. Although a lower percentage of them are hospitalized, it is putting a burden on school openings.

The number of children and teens suffering from the coronavirus-borne illness COVID-19 exceeded 250,000 for the first time since the start of the pandemic in the week through September 2nd, a worrying trend coming just as they return to school in person.

The current 7-day moving average of daily new cases (153,246) increased 4.9 percent compared with the previous 7-day moving average (146,087), said the CDC. The current 7-day moving average is 123.6 percent higher than the value observed approximately one year ago (68,533 new cases on July 20, 2020).

It really looks like there is too much uncertainty keeping many workers from returning to work. Total hiring slipped for the first time this year. Job hires fell by 160,000 to 6.7 million, with hiring in the retail sector down sharply. This is while separations rose 174,000 to 5.8 million. This includes those fired and those who left the job.

What will bring them back? More vaccinations and mask mandates will be most effective, according to experts, with CNN saying President Joe Biden will push for Computer Oriented RE Technology

vaccine mandates and testing programs as part of a revamped approach to ending the pandemic.

As American students return to classrooms, battles over masks and vaccine requirements for older children have erupted in school districts around the country.

Health officials say they expect vaccines to be authorized for children under 12 in the next several months, but parents have become frustrated at the pace with which the process is unfolding.

So, although the huge number of job openings show economic activity speeding up, some of the country still needs convincing that the coronavirus pandemic must be vanquished.

Governor Signs Slate of New Housing Bills

By Brian Johnson, 2021 President, SBAOR

O

VER THE PAST WEEK, Governor Gavin Newsom signed three new housing bills. As the housing crisis in California shows little sign of abating, backers of these bills say they will do more to create opportunities for more housing units across the state. Opponents criticize these bills for a number of reasons ranging from the loss of local control, a decrease in ownership due to the costs of development, and further racial inequities.

These bills received relatively bipartisan support across both chambers and Governor Newsom has promised to do more to create additional housing so it is not too surprising that these bills passed.

SB 8 is a bill that extends the Housing Crisis Act of 2019’s sunset by an additional five years.

Provisions of the original bill include accelerating the approval process for housing projects, limiting fee increases on new housing projects, and restricting local governments’ ability to downzone properties in order to allow fewer units. The bill also regulates policies that would make it harder for local municipalities to restrict the construction of affordable housing. The new sunset date is 2030 vs 2025.

Another bill, much more controversial, is SB 9. This bill,

authored by Senate President, the bill for giving support to local Toni Atkins, would allow property jurisdictions in trying to create owners to build two ordinances supportive homes or units on a of infill housing. single-family lot or Critics claim that the potentially split that lot bill doesn’t contain into two lots and build any inclusionary four units across the two or affordability lots.

NE805 HAS COME ROARING BACK FROM LOCKDOWN with a perfectly executed, soldout event that was the perfect combination of class, emotion, and world One805 Co-founders: President Richard Weston, Kristen Cavendish Weston-Smith, CFO John Thyne III, Nina Phillips, and CEO Eric Phillips class entertainment. The One805 Live! event held this Saturday at the stunning Winn-Twining estate, featuring Danny Seraphine of Chicago and Robby Krieger of The Doors, was a knockout success. Strict COVID protocols at the outdoor venue provided partygoers with a safe environment to have a wonderful time. From start to finish, the mission of supporting First Responders was achieved at every turn.

The event sold out in three short weeks and premium sponsors made significant donations Heart of the Community award recipients: Alan Parsons, Kim Cantin, and Ashley to ensure the success of Iverson the night and the cause.

Outstanding food by Via Maestra, incredible music, a wonderful VIP KEYT Anchors CJ Ward and experience, a rousing bagpipe introduction including America the Beautiful, and a short program focused on supporting First Responders, Beth Farnsworth made it a night to remember.

Giving the first ever “Heart of the Community” awards, the board of One805 honored Alan Parsons, Kim Cantin, and Ashley Iverson for their contributions to One805 and the broader community. Linda Weinmann, co-founder of Linda.com, created the unique, handmade ceramic awards that were presented to recipients.

One805 is a 501(c)(3) public charity that was Maria and Monty Wilson with Drs. John and created following the devastating Thomas Fire and Karen Tamela ensuing Montecito mudflow that claimed the lives of 23 of our neighbors. What began as a planned BBQ to thank first responders who fought the fire, grew to a massively successful and star-studded event dubbed the Kick Ash Bash where over $2 million was quickly raised for emergency equipment that most first responder agencies do not have the budgets to procure, plus critical counseling services following such a traumatic incident. Three important mobile command units were purchased and given to police, fire, and sheriffs agencies, and those units are in service today. Now, One805 has continued to support eleven first responder agencies who comprise their advisory council by hosting events and coordinating the procurement and delivery of life saving equipment. Over the past two years, the organization has provided COVID decontamination equipment and PPE to the agencies, delivered donated flowers to nurses and doctors, filled several grant requests for emergency tools and equipment for the first responders, and launched its successful One805 Fire Fighters Brent Manfred and Sam Dudley with Board Member Nina Live! events that continue to raise funds to support those who Phillips and Allison Bowlus and first www.one805.org support us.

Strangers in a Strange Land

Afghan refugees to the U.S. face a mountain of challenges, scholars say

T

By Jim Logan / The UC Santa Barbara Current

HE NUMBERS AREN’T FIRM, but federal officials expect that roughly 50,000 Afghans will come to the U.S. as refugees following America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. Their arrival will be bittersweet — free from the threat of the Taliban but bewildered by a strange and sometimes hostile country.

Maryam Kia-Keating — a professor in the Department of Counseling, Clinical and School Psychology in UC Santa Barbara’s Gevirtz Graduate School of Education — said an adjustment period is to be expected.

“It’s a very sudden forced displacement and it’s a radical change in culture and language,” she said, “and you’re suddenly leaving your home with next to nothing in terms of your belongings and a lot of fear in terms of what you’ve perhaps witnessed, as well as uncertainty about your future.”

Sadaf Delawar, a master’s student in UCSB’s Department of Global Studies, knows all about it. She was a toddler when she left Afghanistan for the U.S. It was the late 1990s and her family of professionals was being harassed by the Taliban. They eventually settled in Pennsylvania and scratched out a life with a combination of social services and menial jobs.

“My mom was a pharmacist in Afghanistan,” Delawar said, “and while I was growing up she had to work at Walmart and stuff like that, places that were well below what she had studied and who she was.

That type of thing happens often.”

Kia-Keating, who has written extensively about refugees’ mental health, especially among youth, said the displaced generally suffer from a range of indignities beyond the trauma of fleeing their homes — poverty, housing and food issues, living in unsafe neighborhoods, and more.

“These are the kinds of things that we want to consider when trying to support newcomers to our communities,” she said.

So what can you do if you want to help refugees adjust to life here?

“First and foremost,” Kia-Keating said, “refugees need welcoming communities that embrace the idea of having a new group come in. And not only ready to help them get settled, but also to appreciate the ways that they Maryam Kia-Keating can potentially contribute to the new communities. So rather than just seeing them as victims, they could see them actually contributing, and that many refugees come in with incredible skills, training, and education.”

This resonates with Delawar, whose studies focus on historical analyses of Afghan refugees.

“That is very fair,” she said. “Yes. Welcoming communities. People willing to help, willing to listen, willing to guide them. And people who are just sympathetic and understanding of a situation that they had no control over.”

Delawar said she understands how some people might fear “a horde of people getting on these planes and they’re completely different.” But those fears, she added, ignore the reality of a forcibly displaced people who don’t Sadaf Delawar come here to be tourists on some grand adventure.

Her advice: “Just see groups and families as people who could add to the multicultural fabric of our nation, see it as an opportunity to have compassion and be welcoming.”

As Kia-Keating noted, there are more than 80 million people around the world who’ve been forced to flee their homes. Of those, about 26 million are refugees and roughly half of those are children under the age of 18.

“Understand that the numbers are pretty staggering, and there’s a high percentage of young people involved in these situations of forced displacement,” she said. “So if it’s hard to have compassion for adults, perhaps it’s easier for people to realize that children are at the mercy of the environment around them and have nothing to do with the war or the conflict or the politics.”

What might a welcoming community look like? Kia-Keating notes that refugee settlement decisions are made at the federal level, and often the first contact refugees have is with resettlement agencies.

Volunteering with these agencies, if you have the time, can provide needed early support.

“There are also ways to try to get to know people through networks,” she said. “Doing the neighborly thing can go a long way, just checking in and saying, ‘Hey, welcome to our community. We’re happy you’re here. What can we do to help support you? Here’s my phone number, call me if you need anything.’”

“Economic issues are one of the biggest first hurdles for people arriving,” Kia-Keating continued. “If you have opportunities or know of opportunities or can help them connect to opportunities, you usually find that families are very anxious to work and contribute and have an incredibly strong work ethic.”

For Delawar, being welcoming can mean small gestures like bringing refugees a bag of fruit or a plate of cookies. It’s not only a kindness, but culturally appropriate with Afghans, she said.

“That definitely would be socially acceptable,” she said. “You would probably be offered tea, which is what we do.”

As a cultural matter, Delawar noted that there’s one big difference between Afghans and Americans: Afghans don’t make eye contact in situations when they are being respectful or don’t know you well.

“Eye contact is considered rude,” she said. “And so if you’re not getting a lot of eye contact, it’s not because someone is lying like we consider it in American culture. In my culture it’s considered more polite and deferential to avoid eye contact in certain situations.”

Finally, keep in mind Afghans are a proud people with a rich ancient culture, and beautiful traditions. While refugees are grateful to be safe from attack or persecution, Delawar said, they’re not thrilled to be away from their homeland.

“It is not our desire to live abroad,” she said. “We do not want that. What we want, most of all, is a stable, peaceful Afghanistan so that we can be with our own people.”

Light Elephant Safari At MCA

A

N INFLATABLE LIGHT ELEPHANT was moved from place to place Downtown Santa Barbara as a “site reflective” public art program composed of a series of temporary installations, in coordination with a sustained social media campaign. The culminating exhibition of the Light Elephant will be on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art from September 23 - October 3, 2021. The Light Elephant is a “site reflective” inflatable public art program in coordination with a sustained social media campaign.

Throughout the Summer of 2021, UCSB Professors and Artists Iman Djouini & Jonathan Taube directed a team of students to install this large-scale public artwork in dozens of sites in Downtown Santa Barbara.

Through its installation and workshops, this project attempts to memorialize the stories of Downtown Santa Barbara art and culture from a decolonial perspective, as we start to turn the corner and re-engage with our public space.

Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara is located at 653 Paseo Nuevo, Upper Arts Terrace.

Elverhoj debuts Widening Circles: Landscape Portraits of Solvang

T

HE PASTORAL COUNTRYSIDE SURROUNDING SOLVANG is the subject of paintings now on display at the Elverhøj Museum of History and Art. Widening Circles: Landscape Portraits of Solvang is a new gallery exhibition with works by accomplished Santa Ynez Valley artists Chris Chapman and John Iwerks. The public is invited to attend and celebrate art at the first Elverhoj event since February 2020!

“Some of the layers on display are very much present tense, like cattle ranching and Old Mission Santa Inés,” explains Chapman, “while other sites, such as dairy farms, no longer exist.”

The art on view focuses on the sites and structures located on the 8,883acre parcel purchased in 1911 to establish a new Danish colony in the Santa Ynez Valley. The land extended far beyond present-day Solvang and, along with the layers of history, provides the inspiration for this exhibition.

A reception for the artists will be held on Saturday September 25 from 4 to 6pm.

XPLORE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARTISTS AND THEIR DOGS with the launch of a new local book, Santa Barbara Artists and Their Dogs this month. Created by The Art Council of the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art, this heartfelt book features portraits of each of the 70 included artists with their dogs, as well as brief, essays about their bond.

“Whether the dog is a muse, a model, a companion, or a therapist, artists and dogs have forged deep attachments for centuries,” said Judy L. Larson, R. Anthony Askew professor of art history and museum director. “Our canine pals add so much to the enjoyment of life and serve as a prompt to live in the moment.”

Santa Barbara Artists and Their Dogs will be available for purchase from 12-8pm on September 24th and 25th, and between 12-4pm on September 26th at REH GraySpace Art Gallery, 219 Gray Ave., Santa Barbara along with portraits of dogs by the artists. Community members can also view portraits of the artists and dogs in a new exhibition at the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art’s downstairs gallery through December 18th.

HE SLOPOKE ART OF THE WEST EXHIBITION & SALE is saddling up again to present its 11th annual show in a safe and socially distanced way on September 24 - 26 at Flag Is Up Farms, an open-air ranch in Solvang. This unique live art show celebrates the American West - its scenery, wildlife, ranch life and history, and offers guests the opportunity to meet the artists.

New this year will be a live “Duelling Sculptors” demonstration with the renowned sculptor Christopher Slatoff (best known for monumental sculptures, most recently at USC, Pepperdine University, Our Lady of the Angels cathedral in LA, the Port District of San Diego and more) who is the guest artist and jurist for this year’s show, and his studio assistant Elisabeth Pollnow, where each artist will sculpt the other, at 11am on Saturday and 11am on Sunday.
