If everyone played the ukulele, the world would be a better place.
– Jake ShimabukuroFeaturingWITH EFFERVESCENT ENTHUSIASM AND A LOVE FOR HIS INSTRUMENT that has carried him from local phenom to Hollywood Bowl headliner, Jake Shimabukuro will play the Granada Theatre on Thursday, December 1st at 7pm in Christmas in Hawai’i, presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures.
“If everyone played the ukulele, the world would be a better place,” Shimabukuro has been known to say. Exploring his seemingly limitless musical vocabulary on perhaps the unlikeliest of instruments, ukulele master Shimabukuro is taking the ukulele to points previously thought impossible, buoyed by his love for the instrument.
“The heart of the ukulele is its simplicity... What I love about the ukulele is it is such a humble instrument... What you see is what you get - four strings, two octaves. When I hear it, it takes me back to the Islands, it makes me feel young, it makes me feel alive, it makes me smile....It reminds us that sometimes in life you have to not let things get too complicated,” Shimabukuro shared in a YouTube conversation with Cultural Attache.
Over the past two decades, Jake Shimabukuro has proved that there isn’t a style of music that he can’t play. While versatility for any musician is impressive, what’s remarkable about Shimabukuro’s transcendent skills is how he explores his seemingly limitless vocabulary –whether it’s jazz, rock, blues, bluegrass, folk or even classical on the ukulele. Responding to the urgent calls of his fervent imagination, the Hawai’i-born virtuoso has taken the ukulele to points previously thought impossible, and in the process he’s reinvented the applications for this tiny, heretofore under appreciated four-string instrument, causing many to call him “the Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele.”
Humbly, the good-natured musician, who first picked up the ukulele at the age of four, says, “From the time I started playing, I was just doing what came naturally and what felt like fun. I love all types of music, so I never thought, ‘Oh, I can’t play that on the ukulele...’ If you don’t know the rules, you don’t need to follow them, and then nothing can hold you back.”
Justin Kawika Young is a singer-songwriter from Hawai’i. In addition to his own notable career, Justin has also been the lead guitar player and background vocalist for Colbie Caillat as well as a member of the American Country Pop Group, Gone West.
Herb Ohta, Jr., also from Hawai’i, and is the son of the legendary ukulele master, Ohta-san, who was recognized by many as the world’s most diversified Ukulele player from traditional Hawaiian to Classical, Pop, to Jazz and other genres. Herb is recognized as a distinct contemporary ukulele master in his own right.
Shimabukuro will bring that simplicity and love to Santa Barbara this holiday season as he shares his vibrant catalog of holiday classics such as We Three Kings, Rudolph The RedNosed Reindeer, O Holy Night, I’ll Be Home For Christmas, and selections from his recent Jake & Friends album released in November 2021 (with Willie Nelson, Bette Midler, Jack Johnson, Michael McDonald, Vince Gill & Amy Grant, and more).

Thu, Dec 1 / 7 PM
With Christmas in Hawai’i and his four strings, Shimabukuro’s mission continues to be to connect and inspire people. Whether one-on-one or in front of an audience of thousands, he shares a deep emotional connection with the listener that is open, magical, and
transcendent. His genuine love for people, the spirit of Holidays, and his beloved home of Hawaii are at the forefront of Jake Shimabukuro –Christmas in Hawai’i. It will offer warm merriment and the wonder of the season.
UCSB Arts & Lectures Community Partners, the Natalie Orfalea Foundation & Lou Buglioli, have offered generous support for the 20222023 season, including this program.
Compiled by Kerry Methner / VOICEHonoring the past in an intersection of connection, community, and culture, this program o ers a symphonic and visual homage to our region’s centuries old Chumash heritage from local composer and preservationist Cody Westheimer. Paired with Robert Schumann’s romantic musical gift to his future wife, the Piano Concerto in A minor, featuring world-renowned pianist and Santa Barbara favorite, Alessio Bax; Jean Sibelius’ Valse Triste; and Mozart’s inimitable masterpiece, Symphony No. 40, this repertoire delivers a deeply moving and moody tribute.
DISCOVERING A NEW SPECIES IS ALWAYS EXCITING, but so is finding one alive that everyone assumed had been lost to the passage of time. A small clam, previously known only from fossils, has recently been found living at Naples Point, just up the coast from UC Santa Barbara. The discovery appears in the journal Zookeys
“It’s not all that common to find alive a species first known from the fossil record, especially in a region as well-studied as Southern California,” said co-author Jeff Goddard, a research associate at UC Santa Barbara’s Marine Science Institute. “Ours doesn’t go back anywhere near as far as the famous Coelacanth or the deep-water mollusk Neopilina galatheae — representing an entire class of animals thought to have disappeared 400 million years ago — but it does go back to the time of all those wondrous animals captured by the La Brea Tar Pits.”
On an afternoon low tide in November 2018, Goddard was turning over rocks searching for nudibranch sea slugs at Naples Point, when a pair of small, translucent bivalves caught his eye. “Their shells were only ten millimeters long,” he said. “But when they extended and started waving about a bright white-striped foot longer than their shell, I realized I had never seen this species before.” This surprised Goddard, who has spent decades in California’s intertidal habitats, including many years specifically at Naples Point. He immediately stopped what he was doing to take close-up photos of the intriguing animals.
With quality images in hand, Goddard decided not to collect the animals, which appeared to be rare. After pinning down their taxonomic family, he sent the images to Paul Valentich-Scott, curator emeritus of malacology at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. “I was surprised
and intrigued,” Valentich-Scott recalled. “I know this family of bivalves (Galeommatidae) very well along the coast of the Americas. This was something I’d never seen before.”
He mentioned a few possibilities to Goddard, but said he’d need to see the animal in-person to make a proper assessment. So, Goddard returned to Naples Point to claim his clam. But after two hours combing just a few square meters, he still hadn’t caught sight of his prize. The species would continue to elude him many more times.
Nine trips later, in March 2019, and nearly ready to give up for good, Goddard turned over yet another rock and saw the needle in the haystack. A single specimen, next to a couple of small white nudibranchs and a large chiton. Valentich-Scott would get his specimen at last, and the pair could finally set to work on identification.
Valentich-Scott was even more surprised once he got his hands on the shell. He knew it belonged to a genus with one member in the Santa Barbara region, but this shell didn’t match any of them. It raised the exciting possibility that they had found a new species.
“This really started ‘the hunt’ for me,” ValentichScott said. “When I suspect something is a new species, I need to track back through all of the scientific literature from 1758 to the present. It can be a daunting task, but with experience it can go pretty quickly.”
The two researchers decided to check out an intriguing reference to a fossil species. They tracked down illustrations of the bivalve Bornia cooki from the paper describing the species in 1937. It appeared to match the modern specimen. If confirmed, this would mean that Goddard had found not
a new species, but a sort of living fossil.
It is worth noting that the scientist who described the species, George Willett, estimated he had excavated and examined perhaps 1 million fossil specimens from the same location, the Baldwin Hills in Los Angeles. That said, he never found B. cooki himself. Rather, he named it after Edna Cook, a Baldwin Hills collector who had found the only two specimens known.
Valentich-Scott requested Willett’s original specimen (now classified as Cymatioa cooki) from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. This object, called the “type specimen,” serves to define the species, so it’s the ultimate arbiter of the clam’s identification.
Meanwhile, Goddard found another specimen at Naples Point — a single empty shell in the sand underneath a boulder. After carefully comparing the specimens from Naples Point with Willett’s fossil, Valentich-Scott concluded they were the same species. “It was pretty remarkable,” he recalled.
Small size and cryptic habitat notwithstanding, all of this begs the question of how the clam eluded detection for so long. “There is such a long history of shell-collecting and malacology in Southern California — including folks interested in the harder to find micro-mollusks — that it’s hard to believe no one found even the shells of our little cutie,” Goddard said.
He suspects the clams may have arrived here on currents as planktonic larvae, carried up from the south during marine heatwaves from 2014 through 2016. These enabled many marine species to extend their distributions northward, including several documented specifically at Naples Point. Depending on the animal’s growth rate and longevity, this could explain why no one had noticed C. cooki at the site prior to 2018, including Goddard, who has worked on nudibranchs at Naples Point since 2002.
“The Pacific coast of Baja California has broad intertidal boulder fields that stretch literally for miles,” Goddard said, “and I suspect that down there Cymatioa cooki is probably living in close association with animals burrowing beneath those boulders.”

WITH LIVING AS A FREE SPIRIT, and stories of wild wine stompings, Mountain Drive is an eclectic neighborhood cemented in local legend. This fall, Santa Barbara Historical Museum visitors will discover the history behind this enigmatic community through the recorded accounts of 26 people who called the hills above Montecito home from the 1940s through the ‘60s.
Titled Memories of Mountain Drive: Santa Barbara’s Bohemian Community, the exhibition offers a comprehensive glimpse into Mountain Drive’s way of life, with its oral histories visually enhanced by dozens of photographs, newsletters, film footage, and artwork.
The result is a thoughtful, intriguing display that reflects that history is being made all around us, all of the time.
“I’m not worried that anyone in Santa Barbara doesn’t know about Mountain Drive,” said Head Archivist Chris
Ervin. “But hopefully I can help people understand better what it was like. It was a normal neighborhood just like anywhere else with its good elements and bad aspects. It was people trying to make it in a way that was much more like the old days of homesteading.”
Mountain Drive’s unique community was established by Robert “Bobby” McKee Hyde and his wife, Floppy. Starting in the late 1940s, Hype began selling one-acre parcels of land to people who also valued creativity and wanted to craft their own homes and goods.
About 40 families lived in the area by the ‘60s, united by making wine, art, and community festivals, such as the famous “Wine Stomp,” where a Wine Queen would lead a group of naked winemakers in stomping in a tub of grapes.
Ervin first grew inspired to curate a Mountain Drive exhibition two years ago. After being asked to search the museum’s archives for the oral history of a woman’s grandmother who was a “Mountain Driver,” Ervin discovered a box full of recordings by former Mountain Drive residents. Immediately, he saw the potential to authentically capture the community.
“We suddenly had 30 oral histories all by friends and neighbors who all had the same experience and would tell the same stories, but from different points of view,” explained Ervin. “You get a really, really rich sense of the community from all these different voices and memories.”
From the moment visitors enter the Historical Museum’s exhibition, they are immersed in Mountain Drive’s culture. Music by The Scragg Family, a bluegrass band from Mountain Drive, fills the gallery, while projected footage from a Rock Hudson movie partially filmed during an exaggerated Mountain Drive Wine Stomp plays overhead.
Photographs depict the community’s everyday life, showing people making art and bathing in early
hot tubs. Others show individuals performing Twelfth Night and dressed in handmade Renaissance clothes — which actually inspired the founders of the Los Angeles area Renaissance Faire. Ervin worked with local retired journalist Elias Chiacos, who wrote the book Mountain Drive: Santa Barbara’s Pioneer Bohemian Community, to connect with Mountain Drivers and gather the photos.
Each of these photos is paired with a QR code visitors can scan with their phone to listen to various oral histories. These recordings are also available at www.gledhilloralhistory.org
An assortment of handmade pottery, a lantern made from a Westmont College food can, and other artifacts speak to Mountain Driver’s creative innovation, as well as footage of the “Pot Wars,” a pop-up market event where they would sell their goods.
The exhibition is completed by the presence of a journal and pencil where community members are invited to write their own memories of Mountain Drive, contributing to the museum’s community-curated history.
Memories of Mountain Drive will remain on display through February 28th, 2023. For more information visit www.sbhistorical.org

JUSTA FEW SHORT YEARS AGO, David Medina was looking at a future much different from where he is now. He and a friend had a plan to open a new restaurant in Santa Barbara. The funding was confirmed, and the restaurant was about to get off the ground when the pandemic hit, shutting down in-person eating and effectively derailing Medina’s plans.
Fortunately, Medina wasn’t one to sit at home waiting for another opportunity to present itself. He still had a skill set, and people still needed to eat; he just needed to figure out how to get his food to them.
Surprisingly, it’s the fresh fruit that’s had the most impact. “The response we’ve gotten is amazing. Members are so excited about watermelon, grapes, and pineapple. It seems so basic, but fresh produce is expensive, making it nearly impossible for some folks to access on a regular basis” Medina shared.
“Mental Wellness Center had always strived to offer healthy food choices to its members, because we understand the dire effect that poor nutrition and food insecurity can have on a person’s overall mental health and wellbeing,” Cameron noted.
Cameron patiently sought out just the right partner for Fellowship Club’s healthy meals program. “It had to be designed, planned, and executed well,” said Cameron. “I was offering an interesting opportunity that doesn’t exist in a lot of other venues; it required someone who not only had food prep experience, but also had the genuine desire to serve the community with dignity and respect. I’m thrilled we were able to find that in David.”
$200,000 HAS BEEN AWARDED TO THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARBA through a state grant by the California Office of Transportation Safety. The Santa Barbara Police Department will increase patrols throughout the community and provide other traffic safety programs to help reduce the number of serious injuries and deaths on roads.
The grant will provide additional programs and resources, including: DUI checkpoints and patrols focused on stopping suspected impaired drivers; High visibility distracted driving enforcement operations targeting drivers in violation of California’s hands-free cell phone law; Enforcement operations focused on top violations that cause crashes: speeding, failure to yield, stop sign and/or red-light running, and improper turning or lane changes; Community presentations on traffic safety issues; and collaborative enforcement efforts with neighboring agencies.
It will also support officer training and/or recertification in Standard Field Sobriety Test (SFST), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) and Drug Recognition Expert (DRE). The grant program will run through September 2023.
“I came up with this breakfast burrito idea. I would take orders and deliver the burritos the next morning,” explained Medina. “Then I got coffee shops on board who were reselling them. When things started reopening, bars and pubs needed a food component, too, so we started a popup at a local brewery. Then gatherings were allowed again, so I started catering private dinners in people’s homes. Around that time, a good friend of mine connected me to Annmarie Cameron, CEO of Mental Wellness Center, who was looking for a chef for their Fellowship Club.”
Cameron and Medina felt a connection right from the start. Their mutual interest in ‘providing food to people who need it, when and where they need it’ coalesced into an interesting working relationship of mutual benefit between Medina’s budding catering business and MWC.
Mental Wellness Center’s Garden Street location includes a fully stocked, commercial-grade kitchen which Cameron offered to lease to Medina. The idea was he would use the space for his catering business while also providing weekday lunches to MWC’s Fellowship Club members.
And the rest is history… “It’s only been a few weeks, but we’ve already seen an increase in Fellowship Club attendance since starting the healthy meals program,” said Medina. “Not only is food the anchor to draw more people back to the Club post-COVID, but, with good nutrition at the forefront, Annmarie and I know that the food we serve will enhance their mental health and wellbeing.”
The menu for Medina’s Fellowship Club lunches is impressive, featuring balanced, nutritious gourmet meals like those he serves to his clients at formal, catered events.
With Medina’s participation, Cameron wants to welcome people to the Mental Wellness Center and have a chance to break bread together, but like all good things, she is seeking out just the right opportunities. “Like all good recipes, some ingredients require a little more time to marinate,” Cameron noted. “At MWC, we’re in the ‘marinating stage,’ contemplating all kinds of new and exciting ways to support the health and wellness of our greater community.”
Mental Wellness Center’s Fellowship Club, a Recovery Learning Center provides free peer-to-peer services for individuals in recovery from mental health and/or substance use issues. Services include peer support, advocacy, referral, education, art classes, and creative activities. The Club is open from 9am to 1pm and offers free on-site services to its members, including peer counseling, computer and telephone access, and, of course, nutritious lunches offered weekdays, from 11:30am to 12pm.
Since 1947, Mental Wellness Center has been fulfilling its mission of advancing mental health and wellness in Santa Barbara County, through the provision of three pillars of service to community residents of all ages experiencing and/or impacted by mental illness: 1) essential support and programming, 2) mental health education, and 3) safe, affordable housing.

AND TWIRLING IN RHYTHM WITH MUSIC FROM AROUND THE WORLD, local choreographers will show off their skills in flamenco, ballroom, hip-hop, and more when BASSH: The Art & Soul of Dance returns to the New Vic Theater. With two talentpacked performances scheduled for 7:30pm on Friday and Saturday, November 11th and 12th, the evening aims to not only spotlight Santa Barbara area teachers and dance studios, but motivate every viewer to get up and dance.
“BASSH offers the Santa Barbara community a window into the local dance world,” shared Jatila van der Veen, BASSH organizer and dancer. “There are many dance companies in town, and many opportunities for people who want to dance to train for performance as well as practice social dance, and a wide variety of choreographers, teachers, and dancers are represented in our showcase. We hope to inspire more people to dance after they see our show.”
Launched in 2000 by dancer and producer Derrick Curtis, BASSH stands for “Ballroom, Argentine tango, Swing, Salsa, and Hip-Hop.” This year’s show will meet and expand upon this encompassing title, with dozens
of dancers performing these styles as well as aerial dance, Chinese classical dance, belly dance, Broadway numbers, and more. Award-winning choreographers will include international Russian ballroom champion Vasily Golovi, and Los Angeles-based SAG-AFTRA choreographer Harout Aristakessian.
Additional highlights will include Zermeno Dance Academy, 2022 Spirit of Fiesta Tara Mata, Suns Academy Chinese classical dancers, and Brazilian drummers as well as a contemporary Brazilian dance company. Each performance will open with an elaborate opening number titled “The Circus in Five Acts,” which will include many of the show’s artists.
Both nights will also feature the presentation of Local Hero awards, which are presented to area dance teachers who have made a positive impact on the Santa Barbara community. Friday will recognize World Dance for Humanity Director Dr. Janet Reineck, who has raised funds for underserved communities through dance for decades. In the past year alone, World Dance for Humanity
has donated more than $100,000 to support the people of Ukraine.
Saturday’s performance will honor Beth Amine, who has taught dance and art to community members of all ages for 50 years. This impressive career has included producing community dance showcases at The Wildcat for over 20 years, and teaching Joyous Movement classes to promote senior community members’ health through dance. Dancers will be available to speak with attendees about potential involvement following each show. For tickets ($15-35) visit https://etcsb.org/whats-on/community-events
LARUE IS NOT A BAD DOG — but he does certainly have a flair for the dramatic. Told through a series of letters and newspaper clippings, Dear Mrs. LaRue: Letters from Obedience School written and illustrated by Mark Teague shows Ike’s ridiculous efforts to guilt trip his owner into taking him back from the Igor Brotweiler Canine Academy. The result is a hilariously self-aware picture book that introduces young readers to the concept of unreliable narrators.
Dear Mrs. LaRue opens with a newspaper clipping from The Snort City Register/Gazette, explaining that Mrs. LaRue has enrolled her dog in obedience school because he steals food off the counter, chases the neighbor’s cats, and struggles with other unruly, typical dog behaviors. The rest of the book is then told through Ike’s perspective, as he writes to Mrs. LaRue complaining of the “prison” he has found himself in and the mistreatment he is receiving.
However, each page is divided between black and white illustrations showing Ike’s imagination and color pictures showing his reality — revealing that while Ike is writing of awful gruel and confinement to a cell, he is really enjoying fine dining, sunny classrooms, and smoothies.
This disparity makes Dear Mrs. LaRue an entertaining and smart read. Ike makes for an endearing, wily narrator, as it becomes clear that his efforts to stretch the truth are done only because he misses Mrs. LaRue so terribly. In examining Ike’s descriptions alongside
Teague’s clever illustrations and the objective newspaper clippings scattered throughout, young readers better grasp the idea that narrators can be deceitful and unreliable, forcing them to reach their own conclusions about Ike’s life. This structure also introduces readers to the genre of epistolary novels, showing them that stories can be told through different styles than they may be accustomed to.
The book’s smart tone carries through its vocabulary and humorous illustrated details, making Dear Mrs. LaRue: Letters from Obedience School a delightful readaloud book for all ages.

BARBARA’S WATERFRONT seems to be a very popular spot attracting crowds not only during the summer months but year-round! Last weekend, however, the city hosted an extra special occasion, the Santa Barbara Half Marathon race attended by competitors and spectators from far and wide. Presented by HOKA and the Independent, the Half Marathon’s course included two world renowned roads on the ‘American Riviera’ (that’s here Folks!), the spectacular palm tree lined waterfront route, Cabrillo Boulevard, and State Street, at the heart of the city. As anxious as I was to attend, the waterfront and surrounding areas were designated for the runners only and not for those of us cruising along on four wheels. As a result, I joined the many others in the Peanut Gallery to ogle the festivities from afar.
More than 3,000 runners from all over the world competed in the race, not only from California, but from 39 states, and, believe it or not, seven countries. The entire weekend was taken up by this year’s marathon, and both visitors and participants crowded Santa Barbara to view the race and wander around town. The Santa Barbara Mission had its share of visitors as did numerous museums and trendy shops. The restaurants along the boulevards and Stearns Wharf were jammed with happy eaters and water related sports around the harbor were in full view, as were beachgoers enjoying the vista of our coastline and the Channel Islands.
The actual marathon and festivities kicked off Friday and Saturday, November 4th and 5th at a two day Packet Pick-Up in the Funk Zone’s parking lot of Rincon Brewery, Dart Coffee & Mollusk Surf. After picking up their packets, the HOKA
Santa Barbara Half Marathon + SB Independent 5K participants wandered around enjoying the fun things to see and do in one of the city’s most visited spots. HOKA also sponsored a Kid’s Fun Race at no cost for the little ones (and older ones!) to join in for a good time with their families.
On Sunday morning, the race itself began near State Street and Yanonali Street with the Half Marathon followed by the 5K. Runners toed the line on State Street in the Funk Zone and along the waterfront before heading into Santa Barbara’s historic downtown concluding with a fast, downhill finish on the State Street promenade. For the first time this year, visually impaired and disabled athletes were included in the competition joining the thousands of runners racing that day. Thanks to the Santa Barbara Running Association all entry fees were covered. Participation in the Half Marathon was special for many of these competitors as it was their first race and infused with enthusiasm and excitement adding to the camaraderie that exemplified the spirit of the day. This event was an opportunity for the visually compromised, those with Down’s Syndrome, or individuals with Autism to compete and display their athletic skills – not to mention just having
some really good fun!
KEYT’s evening news heralded the Santa Barbara Half Marathon as a fantastic experience not only for the disabled running in the company of others, but for all the competitors who made the trek from far and near to participate. The purpose of this massive event was to bring the community together and to make it accessible to athletes of all ability levels, families with children, and those of us watching from the sidelines. To be part of a race in a competitive yet inclusive environment allows all who participate to push themselves in new ways and still have an enjoyable weekend of fun.
Many thanks goes to the volunteers from schools and organizations all over the Santa Barbara community that were essential in the smooth running of the race…and the entire weekend!

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9TH - The list of streets to clean up after Tuesday’s storm in Santa Barbara will keep crews busy.

NONFARM UNEMPLOYMENT REPORT EXCEPT MINING, and the unemployment rate is still at a record low of 3.7 percent, even with the Fed promising to continue to raise interest rates.
“Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 261,000 in October, and the unemployment rate rose to 3.7 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Notable job gains occurred in health care, professional and technical services, and manufacturing.”
Why are businesses so busy that they see good times ahead rather than a looming recession? One answer is the U.S. economy grew 2.6 percent in the third quarter just reported due to exploding exports after two quarters of negative growth from the aftereffects of the pandemic, and record GDP growth in 2021.
I maintain it’s because we are still recovering from the pandemic, with two years of lock downs repressing demand. And three million working-age adults have not returned to the workforce, leaving businesses scrambling to find enough employees.
Americans are fully employed, there is a job for anyone that wants to work; and there are still almost twice as many job openings as jobs being created. More consumers want to travel and dine out, children are back in school, and
supply chains have caught up in most sectors to meet the demand.
Education & Health in the report added 79,000 jobs, followed by Professional/ Business (39,000), Leisure and Hospitality (35,000) and Manufacturing (32,000) new jobs.
It’s incredible that Democrats haven’t trumpeted the need for more workers since it is immigrants that must fill those vacancies. Canada just announced they are welcoming new immigrants to fill their worker shortage, reports the Financial Times’ Christina Lu.
on higher unemployment to cure inflation. They have it exactly backwards. More jobs create less pressure on rising wages and greater productivity, both tools that would bring down inflation, which is what happened with today’s unemployment report.
The report showed wage increases slowing from more than five percent to 4.7 percent in October, while more than ten million jobs have come back during the Biden presidency.
Then why so much political discontent when the current congress has just passed record-breaking legislation that will help the discontented populace that Nobel prize-winner Angus Deaton described in a recent Project Syndicate article:
voting system are not so much a repudiation of fair elections as an attempt to make elections deliver some of what they want.”
But who has been delivering what red staters in particular say they want?
Republicans have consistently opposed better health care insurance, such as Obamacare and increased Medicare spending, better labor laws, and a higher minimum wage that would most benefit the two-thirds of Americans Professor Deaton mentions.
In fact, government has never been the problem, though from President Reagan’s term onward Republicans have attempted to make it so.
“Look, folks, it’s simple to me: Canada needs more people,” said Sean Fraser, the Canadian immigration minister. “Canadians understand the need to continue to grow our population if we’re going to meet the needs of the labor force, if we’re going to re-balance a worrying demographic trend, and if we’re going to continue to reunite families.”
Immigration shouldn’t be a political hot potato because of the U.S. worker shortage. Republicans are demonizing immigrants and opposing more workable immigration laws when immigrants are desperately needed to fill the ten million plus job vacancies.
Nor should the Fed be relying so much
“Although two-thirds of the adult U.S. population does not have a four-year college degree, the political system rarely responds to their needs and has frequently enacted policies that harm them in favor of corporate interests and better-educated Americans. What has been “stolen” from them is not an election, but the right to participate in political decisionmaking – a right that is supposedly guaranteed by democracy. Viewed in this light, their efforts to seize control of the
Deaton concludes: “The less-educated Americans who are at a greater risk of dying early did not all vote for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020; but many of them did. The overlap can be seen by tabulating “deaths of despair” –from suicide, drug overdose, and alcoholic liver disease – across counties and matching them to Trump’s share of the vote.”
We know how to solve this by making government the solution, as we did with the New Deal. And it is what the latest legislation has done—spending $ trillions on longer term projects like infrastructure, climate change, and capping health care costs.
But, alas, its effects will take some time to benefit most Americans.

SPURRING AN INCREASED NEED for Unity Shoppe’s programs, the local nonprofit has opened its doors early for holiday services. As of November 1st, the Client Services Center is open 10am-5:30pm, Monday through Friday, with Saturday hours being added in December.
In addition to food distribution, Unity also offers a Toy Shoppe where qualifying families can shop for children’s holiday gifts.

Additional donations of food, warm clothing, and personal care items are accepted at the Client Services Center, 1401 Chapala St. Donations of new tube socks, robes, and toiletries for seniors should be taken directly to the Senior Center, located in the back of the Unity Thrift Shoppe at 1209 State Street.

ANOIL TRUCKING PROPOSAL BY EXXONMOBIL received a set back when a federal judge ruled this week that conservation and Indigenous groups can help legally defend Santa Barbara County’s denial of the proposal. ExxonMobil is suing the County for rejecting the plan, which would have helped the company restart three Santa Barbara Channel oil platforms that have been shut down since the 2015 Refugio oil spill.
“Trucking is one of the most dangerous ways to transport oil. Recent oil tanker truck accidents prove how dangerous ExxonMobil’s proposal to restart its offshore oil platforms and truck crude oil along scenic and perilous county highways is. Our research revealed that there have been eight serious accidents involving tanker trucks along ExxonMobil’s proposed route since 2007, resulting in deaths, oil spills, injuries, fires, and road closures,” said Linda Krop, chief counsel of the Environmental Defense
Center, which represents the organization’s members, Get Oil Out!, Santa Barbara County Action Network, Sierra Club, and Surfrider Foundation.
In March 2022 the Board of Supervisors rejected ExxonMobil’s proposal to truck more than 460,000 gallons of oil every day for up to seven years. In May 2022 ExxonMobil filed a lawsuit refuting the County’s denial in federal court in Los Angeles. Environmental groups sought to participate in the suit to help ensure that the project does not go forward.
“I’m outraged that Exxon has the nerve to sue Santa Barbara County for trying to protect people from oil trucks,” said Julie Teel Simmonds, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity.
TYPEWRITTEN POEMS written on-thespot, and more will transform La Cumbre Plaza into a vibrant community party when its Art Walk returns from 5 to 8pm on Friday, November 18th. Spearheaded by The Arts Fund, the night will include free art activities for all ages, as well as celebrate the third anniversary of the La Cumbre Center for Creative Arts.
“The original hope was that we could turn La Cumbre into an art destination,” said LCCCA founder Mike Cregan. “The fact that it’s lasted three years is amazing and a testament to the artists and their work.”
Cregan first envisioned what would become the LCCA after a 2019 visit to New York City, where he observed firsthand the power art galleries have to rejuvenate an area. Upon returning to Santa Barbara and realizing La Cumbre Plaza could benefit from an infusion of energy, he grew determined to put this theory into practice by launching a series of collaborative, local art-focused galleries. The result was the LCCCA, which was met with immediate community support and interest.
Today, the LCCCA spans three galleries — Elevate Gallery, Fine Line Gallery, and Illuminations Gallery — representing a diverse collection of 24 artists, all members of Santa Barbara’s vibrant arts community. These same artists alternate shifts staffing the galleries, presenting locals the chance to directly connect with hometown creatives.
All three LCCCA galleries will open their doors for the November Art Walk in celebration of three years, inviting passersby to stop in, enjoy wine and small bites, and meet local artists.
“The goal is to have people come, enjoy themselves, and enjoy the art,” said LCCCA artist Eric Saint Georges, adding with a laugh, “And come back.”
The Art Walk will also serve as the opening night of The Arts Fund’s 2022 Teen Arts Mentorship Show. The first in-person mentorship to take place since the pandemic, this innovative program supports ten high school students in preparing for their next steps as creatives. Featuring photography, painting, mixed media, and more, the show is a testament to the originality of young artists. Each work will be available for purchase, with 90 percent of the proceeds going back to the students.
“For many of them, this is their first gallery experience as an artist,” shared Arts Fund Executive Director Jamie Dufek.
The Arts Fund will also offer free tours of the Museum of Sensory & Movement Experiences.
Additional Art Walk activities hosted by The Arts Fund and LCCCA will include a kid’s creation station, opportunities to paint on a shared community canvas, and chances to hear
live music by Opera Santa Barbara, Talitha Music, and Mike McHugh and the Grooveshine. There will also be a projected slideshow highlighting local artists, and local poet Simon Kiefer will typewrite personalized poems.
Visitors will also be able to visit a giant inflatable sea urchin created by local artist Pali X-Mano, a photo booth, and the grand opening and reception for Autumn Passion, an exhibition of work by over 20 local artists at the new VOICE Gallery, which shares space with the new VOICE Magazine offices. A Crimson Holiday, a pop-up shop featuring items crafted by local artisans, will also remain open into the evening, as well as Mayweather Boxing and Dream World Collectibles.

OF NATIVE PEOPLE, LANDSCAPES, AND CULTURE by the influential ethnographic photographer Edward S. Curtis will be on view at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History from November 11th through April 30th. The exhibition situates the artist and the people he photographed in the context of American colonialism, inviting viewers to reconsider pervasive pop-culture beliefs about Native life and history.
Influenced by the pictorialist movement of the early twentieth century, Curtis set out to create a photo and ethnographic record of Indigenous peoples living in Western regions from the Mexican border to Alaskan shores. His motivation was a belief that U.S. government policy and the land grabs of American settlers might wipe away Native lifeways forever. While Curtis’s intentions were well-meaning,
his methods of staging photos bent reality into imagery that is often more art than fact. 100 years later, Indigenous people still contend with “Indian” stereotypes that are consequences of Curtis’s vision.
Although many of the photographer’s images are iconic, Storytelling: Native People through the Lens of Edward S. Curtis aims to show what has not previously been seen or understood. That was also the goal of the Museum’s popular 2007 exhibition of Curtis photographs, curated by Museum Librarian Terri Sheridan. This year, a strong infusion of lesser-seen imagery and new interpretation provide “a broader exhibit for people, in terms of what’s on the walls as well as what their takeaways might be,” Sheridan elaborated.
The most important takeaway, according to Sheridan,
is respect for unique Indigenous cultures. Sheridan wants the selected images and their interpretation to counter the stereotypical presentation of popularized Curtis imagery which depicts cultures as the same. In particular, she hopes to invite greater respect and understanding of the women who agreed to be photographed.
“Because of the patriarchal place Curtis was coming from,” Sheridan explained, “he would usually talk with the men, not realizing that often the women were people of power in particular cultures. He also very rarely named women, so their photographs often are just ‘wife of’ or ‘sister of.’ Although we rarely know their names, these women should be seen.”
A conundrum of breathtaking beauty and an iconography of contradictory emotions, the exhibition is sponsored by Knight Real Estate Group of Village Properties, First Republic Bank, Kathleen Kalp and Jim Balsitis, and Kelly and Tory Milazzo.
The exhibition is open 10am–5pm Wed - Mon.
Entry is included with Museum admission • www.sbnature.org
LOTUS PONDS OF DRAGONFLIES, a flock of electric flamingos, a glowing swing set, and more will light up the Santa Barbara Zoo each night as it premieres its new annual lights festival, ZooLights. Featuring thousands of handmade, illuminated silk lanterns displayed throughout the entire campus, ZooLights offers visitors of all ages the chance to celebrate
the spirit of the holiday season and the diversity of the animal kingdom.
“We’re so thrilled to debut such an extraordinary new holiday experience like ZooLights to Santa Barbara; it’s something that has been years in the making! I’m so proud of our hardworking team that brought ZooLights to life. It has been an enormous effort and we can’t wait for everyone to come see the Santa Barbara Zoo in a whole new light this holiday season!” shared Rich Block, Santa Barbara Zoo President & CEO.
Over 50,000 LED bulbs light up the intricately detailed lanterns created by Chinese lantern festival producer Tianyu Arts & Culture. From the moment guests enter the Zoo’s vibrant archway boasting life-sized giraffe lanterns, they are free to discover at their leisure all of the artistic surprises waiting around every corner.

VISUAL
JOURNEY exploring the 20th century’s most prolific muralist, Diego Rivera’s America has emerged as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s 2022 magnum opus. Occupying the entirety of the museum’s fourth floor, the exhibition follows Rivera’s evolution as an artist from the 1920s through the ‘40s, presenting a comprehensive overview of his inspirations, techniques, and politics.
Personal sketches and concept drawings offer intimate glimpses into Rivera’s process, while completed paintings and frescoes speak to his capacity to capture profound emotions and romanticize daily activities. Many of the featured works center on scenes of physical
labor and cultural celebrations, speaking to his desire to emphasize the value of workingclass communities as well as celebrate Mexican traditions. Swirls of fabric, vibrant flowers, and scenes of community building come alive through his bold colors and forms.
The experience is rounded out with three rooms featuring projections of Rivera’s murals, allowing viewers to vicariously experience standing before his larger-than-life work. Works by Frida Kahlo, his wife, offer viewers a different perspective of Rivera as an artist. Downstairs, viewers witness Rivera’s final
from the ground, and penguins hop on rocky slopes, with giraffes, lions, and more turning the Zoo’s main green lawn into a bright African savanna.
Rather than limit ZooLights to only feature animals in residence at the Santa Barbara Zoo, the Zoo decided to include animals from around the world to completely transform the Zoo into a unique holiday experience. Visitors can look forward to visiting favorite creatures big and small, from glittering elephants to the adorable axolotl. Several lanterns are on motors that bring them to life, letting bird displays flap their wings and impalas butt heads.
ZooLights also features a festive interactive area, including photo opportunity spots, a s’mores station, face painting, and speakers playing holiday music, as well as a multi-colored illuminated swing set. Later in the season, there will be chances to take photos with Santa.
ZooLights is on display daily between 4:30 to 8:30pm, through January 15th 2023. For reservations and tickets (starting at $20-22, members receive a $2 discount) visit www.sbzoo.org
U.S. mural Pan American Unity. Combined with Diego Rivera’s America, the show offers an unprecedented testament to Rivera’s talent, spirit, and determination.

WILL BECOME THE LANGUAGE OF LOVERS when Opera Santa Barbara presents La Scala di Seta at 2:30pm on Sunday, November 13th at the Lobero Theatre. Translating to “the silk ladder,” this charming musical comedy follows Giulia as she lowers a silk ladder for her lover, Dorvil, to access her bedroom. Miscommunications and meddling friends threaten their relationship, sending listeners on a whirlwind tale before the opera’s happy ending.
Featuring mesmerizing vocal acrobatics and an enchanting overture, La Scala di Seta reflects the popularity of short, one-act musicals that were popular in Venice in the early 1800s. Rossini ultimately wrote four musical comedies in this style between 1810 and 1813.
Stars familiar to Opera Santa Barbara fans will return to bring Rossini’s score to life, including soprano Jana McIntyre, who starred in last year’s production of Semele, as Giulia. Tenor Christian Sanders will play Dorvil, bringing the same charisma he did in his 2021 Il Tabarro performance. Supporting cast members include tenor Benjamin Brecher (La Traviata) and baritone Efrain Solís (Don Pasquale).
