‘Nomadland’ takes Best Picture at Oscars Chloé Zhao is first Asian woman named Best Director By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Storke Tower looms over the UC Santa Barbara campus during rainy weather in March 2020, a month that altered college admissions.

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

College applications have changed this year, with more schools instituting a pass/fail grading system and a growing

number of colleges not requiring ACT/SAT test scores — including UCSB. The University of California system received the most undergraduate applications for fall 2021 in its history. It leapt

16.1% from the previous year for all grades, and freshman applications increased by 18.4%. “Our record number of applications is a testament to the resilience of students and their families as well as their

“Nomadland” took home three Oscars Sunday, including Best Picture. But perhaps more notably, the film’s director Chloé Zhao became the first Asian woman, and sixth woman, to win Best Director. Yuh-Jung Youn, from “Minari,” is the first Korean to be awarded Best Supporting Actress. The wins are poignant in a time of attacks against AsianAmericans. In Ms. Zhao’s acceptance speech, she gives an anecdote about memorizing Chinese poems. She recites one that says people are inherently good. “I have always found goodness in the people I’ve met, everywhere I went in the world. So this is for anyone who has the faith and the courage to hold onto the goodness in themselves and to hold onto the goodness in each other — no matter how difficult it is to do.” “Nomadland,” a film focusing on people living in vans, delves into the softness of humanity. Frances McDormand, who plays a woman in her 60s in

“Nomadland,” won Best Actress for her role in the film. Here is the full list of Sunday’s winners: Best Picture: “Nomadland” Best Director: Chloé Zhao, “Nomadland” Best Actor: Anthony Hopkins, “The Father” Best Actress: Frances McDormand, “Nomadland” Best Supporting Actor: Daniel Kaluuya, “Judas and the Black Messiah” Best Supporting Actress: YuhJung Youn, “Minari” Original Screenplay: Emerald Fennell, “Promising Young Woman” Adapted Screenplay: Christopher Hampton and Florian Zeller, “The Father” Animated Feature: “Soul” Production Design: “Mank” Costume Design: “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” Cinematography: Erik Messerschmidt, “Mank” Editing: “Sound of Metal” Makeup and Hairstyling: “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” Sound: “Sound of Metal” Visual Effects: “Tenet” Score: Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste, “Soul” email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Even though Earth Day was last week, that didn’t stop Santa Barbara Channelkeeper’s Watershed Brigade volunteers from cleaning up trash in the community. This time, to complement local Earth Day celebrations, the Brigade held a dispersed cleanup event Saturday into Sunday with a focus on front country

trails and turnouts, where trash often accumulates. A couple local volunteers who also volunteer with the National Marine Sanctuary and the National Park Service took to Hot Springs Trail in Montecito early Saturday morning with bags and trash pickers in hand. “This particular trail has become very impacted with people from out of town coming here because there’s the aura Please see TRAILS on A4

Goleta Council to examine annual work program By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

In a special meeting Tuesday, the Goleta City Council will discuss work priorities and be asked to adopt an annual work program for fiscal years 2021 and 2022. The purpose of the workshop is to update the council on existing work commitments and recent accomplishments, and to provide members an opportunity to discuss work priorities for the Department of Public Works for the upcoming fiscal year. “The fiscal year 2021-22 Public Works annual work program shows that the department has an extremely high workload with not enough staff to manage the projects, programs and other work efforts,” the staff report says. “The work program also shows that a high number of consultants, construction contractors and vendors are being employed by the department and there continues to be a need to make progress on planned organizational improvements.” The program is also intended to serve as a basis for upcoming budget plan development and includes estimated schedules for Capital Improvement Program projects. Upcoming and potential new work efforts and programs starting in FY 2021/22 include: City Hall’s HVAC replacement; the Goleta Valley Library’s tree trimming program, parking lot project, exterior fascia board painting project and south west roof repair project; the Goleta Valley Community Center’s West Wing LED Lighting project and auditorium/women’s restroom roofing/window replacement project; and the Railroad Museum Platform Replacement Project, among many others. The draft program can be viewed on the city’s website in the special meeting agenda. It will begin at 5 p.m. Tuesday evening, and can be streamed online at https://tinyurl.com/ GoletaMeetings or viewed on Goleta Channel 19. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Women business owners to be honored Women’s Economic Ventures has announced the 30 finalists for the 11th annual Spirit of Entrepreneurship Awards to be held virtually from noon to 1:30 p.m. May 21. The SOE Awards celebrate outstanding women business owners from Santa Barbara and Ventura counties in 10 industry categories. WEV will also present the 2021 Rock Star: Lifetime Achievement Award to Lupe Anguiano, an entrepreneur and activist known for her work on women’s rights, the rights of the poor and the protection of the environment who has founded two impactful nonprofits. Gloria Steinem, world-renowned political activist and feminist organizer, told WEV, “I’m so glad that you are honoring my longtime friend, Lupe Anguiano. She has been my trusted leader, from the farm worker struggle to today’s understanding that as human beings, we are linked, not ranked. She always has been ahead of me on the path, and she lights the way ahead.” A panel of independent judges, who all live outside the tri-county area, selected the finalists. This year, the judges also took into consideration the impact the businesses make in their community and the entrepreneurs’ resiliency to the challenges presented by the global pandemic. Community members are invited to attend the free, online event; register at Spirit of Entrepreneurship Awards.

Autumn Shelton, co-founder of Autumn Brands, was recently elected president of CARP Growers.

CARP Growers elects first female president CARPINTERIA — CARP Growers, an association of 13 farms in Carpinteria Valley, elected Autumn Shelton, cofounder of Autumn Brands, as its fourth president earlier this month. She is the first woman to hold the role. “We have so many great cannabis farms and farmers in CARP Growers that I feel incredibly honored to be entrusted as president and to build upon the work and accomplishments of the last three years,” she said in a news release. “When the industry works together to solve problems and create positive change in our community, we can get a lot done. We remain committed to showing neighbors what responsible cannabis farming is all about.” Former CARP Growers president Tristan Strauss, founder and CEO of Headwaters, will serve as vice president. “This is a group of hardworking farmers,” he said. “Over the past year, we all faced challenges brought on by the pandemic, and I think we proved the cannabis industry confronts challenges and is a valued community partner.” CARP Growers provides more than $150,000 each year to community and environmental organizations. The association funds a fulltime behavioral health and substance abuse counselor at Carpinteria Middle School. Carpinteria cannabis growers have stirred controversy over their investment in the school system as well as pushback from neighbors regarding the farms’ perfumes. “Transparency and proactive engagement of our neighbors and the community have been our top priorities,” Ms. Shelton said. “Five years ago, our industry was looked upon with skepticism. We set out to demonstrate that this is an industry of professionals and is completely compatible with the agricultural legacy of our area. When farms change plants to remain viable, it also protects the area from development, which everyone wants.” Tadd McKenzie of Pacific Dutch Group will serve as treasurer of CARP Growers and work alongside the following board members: Graham Farrar, Glass House Group; Terra Stephan, Cresco Labs; Mike Palmer, Creekside Blooms; and Winfred Van Wingerden, Mountain View Blooms. — Annelise Hanshaw

The City of Goleta is asking interested community members, residents and business owners to join a virtual Zoom meeting at 6 p.m. on Wednesday to discuss the city’s local roads. The meeting includes a presentation on the draft local road safety plan, analysis of the five-year collision data and breakout room community discussions. Next week the public will be able to view the draft LRSP document and potential counter-measure options on the city’s website at https://tinyurl.com/ GoletaTrafficSafetyStudy. After the virtual meeting, the city will post a survey on the same webpage for the community to provide feedback and add comments to the interactive map. “Goleta takes pride in incorporating community input into our processes,” said James Window, the city’s senior civil engineer for the Public Works Department. “The typical LRSP is a data-driven format. However, we are also seeking the community’s input on the potential countermeasures to raise awareness on the various potential options and seek input and feedback on what works in Goleta.” Goleta was awarded a LRSP grant in the amount of $53,000. The LRSP grant program is part of the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program and is designed to provide funding to local agencies to develop a LRSP to coordinate the efforts of a wide range of organizations to reduce traffic accident fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. The LRSP addresses the four “E’s” of traffic safety: engineering, enforcement, education and emergency Services. Spanish translation of the meeting will be provided, and the Zoom meeting, which starts at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, can be accessed with this link: https://kimley-horn. zoom.us/j/99169789345. The meeting will be recorded and available to view after the meeting at https:// tinyurl.com/GoletaTrafficSafetyStudy.

This Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council will receive a report on the Phase II Community Action Plan to Address Homelessness by the county. While no action is required besides potentially appointing two members of the council to the county’s Elected Leaders Forum to help direct policy decisions for the region, staff is recommending the city adopt a resolution showing support of the county’s goals. “A uniform regional approach from the county plan will ensure further focused resources are deployed and allow elected leaders to collaborate on directing policy that will best address the region’s homelessness crisis,” the staff report reads. “The city has addressed many of the requests outlined

above through the city’s partnerships with SB ACT and City Net, as well as internal policy and procedures through the city’s Community Development Department and the city’s General Plan Housing Element.” Phase II’s key strategies include: prioritizing ending/dramatically reducing homelessness for specific populations; increasing housing inventory dedicated to housing the homeless; creating a culture of diversion and prevention across the homeless response system; improving overall homeless system performance; and achieving the Santa Barbara County Continuum of Care strategies and benchmarks approved in 2019 by the CoC Board. The county is asking local jurisdictions to commit to community engagement, planning and funding. The county’s homelessness plan is the

‘A lot of students used their essays to talk about depression, anxiety’ UCSB

Continued from Page A1

UCSB is not requiring ACT and SAT scores for 2021 and 2022.

KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

In-state applications increased 13%. Katie Le, a high-school senior from San José, was accepted into the class of 2025 at UCSB (although she thinks she may attend elsewhere). She told the NewsPress her perspective on admissions. She took the SAT test at school with the rest of the junior class March 4, 2020. She feels lucky, as testing dates were canceled just two weeks later. The pandemic shut down and altered extracurricular activities for her. Lacrosse games were canceled for almost a year, and she had to lead a peer tutoring group virtually. “The club I founded had to indefinitely postpone the fundraisers and volunteer events we had planned for the year. Everything was a huge bummer, but I understand it was all necessary,” she said. She founded another club, though, called PseudoServe. Members deliver food to high-risk community members. The extracurricular section of her application changed a lot over the past year, but she was brave to adapt to the challenges of the pandemic. She didn’t encounter any essay prompts about the pandemic. Some applications through third-party programs asked how the pandemic may have altered grades or challenged students, but the University of California system did not ask. She was drawn to UCSB for its location and strong reputation academically, but she was only able to take a virtual tour of campus. “Selecting a college has been pretty difficult with the pandemic and everything,” she said. “In the fall, I’m probably going to move into campus without ever having seen it before. “It’s been challenging to choose a college because

Despite an increase in admissions, enrollment was slightly behind 2019. Some students may have found another university; others may have taken a year off. a huge factor into the decision is location. The virtual tours really can’t capture the true ambiance and environment of the school.” UCSB’s website includes tours and a glimpse into the day of distance learners during the pandemic. Miss Le is set on in-person instruction, though, as she’s burned out from Zoom classes. In an interview with NPR’s “All Things Considered,” UCSB’s director of admissions Lisa Przekop says she spends more time on individual applications. “They’re applying for college which is stressful in and of itself,” she told NPR. “And so what we found is a lot of students used their essays to talk about depression, anxiety, things like this.” She looks at how students challenged themselves and takes into consideration that some courses were canceled this year. In 2020, UCSB accepted almost 37% of applications, up from 30% in 2019, according to University of California data. Despite an increase in admissions, enrollment was slightly behind 2019. Some students may have found another university; others may have taken a year off. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Continued from Page A1 of the natural hot spring, for one,” Richard Powell, one of the Brigade volunteers, told the NewsPress. “The other thing is that the prince is down the street and I think any time people can be associated with Prince (Harry) they want to come.” Mr. Powell said that many visitors will wait outside the royal couple’s gate for “hours on hours on hours,” so he and his local hiking friends avoid the trail due to congestion and lack of parking. “We do a lot of work in the community in terms of other projects, so we’re involved with several grassroots environmental organizations here in town,” he said. “I guess you could say that’s our passion, you know?” John Kuizenga expressed the importance of clearing out the trash on the trails that would otherwise end up going straight into the ocean. “Little tiny pieces of plastic — fish and critters think it’s food and obviously, it has no nutritional value,” he told the News-Press. “Everything that gets in these creeks doesn’t go into the sewage plant. This stuff goes directly into the ocean and creeks, so it’s really important we spend time up here cleaning this. “It’s too bad, in a way, that people like Channelkeepers have to take care of the creeks. I mean, they’ve got a lot of other responsibilities too, but they do, and I admire it.”

ALMANAC John Kuizenga, a volunteer for the Channelkeeper Watershed Brigade, National Marine Sanctuary and National Park Service, picks up a plastic flag at Hot Springs Trail to properly dispose of.

As they clean up trails, the volunteers said they find plastic, paper, beer bottles, cigarette butts and “all kinds of different things.” However, Mr. Kuizenga said that as the Channelkeeper volunteers collect the garbage, they keep a chart to find the source of a lot of the trash. In addition, they collect samples of water in certain polluted areas to find what could be polluting it as well.

Furthermore, the trash collectors could potentially play a part in permanent change down the road. “Beer cans, at one point, had these little tabs that you pull up and they didn’t used to stay on the beer can. They’d come off,” Mr. Kuizenga said. “Well, as a result of finding so many of these things, manufacturers changed their way of doing business. They attach those now. The beer can might get

left, but the tabs are still attached. “Channelkeepers can give feedback to people in the business industry to see how they can alter their products so less (trash) gets in the ocean.” To learn more about the Watershed Brigade’s efforts or to sign up for a location and time to collect trash, visit https://www. sbck.org/brigade/. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

As requested by the board last meeting, administrators will provide more details about summer school, including bridge programs and tracks for new students. The summer learning update is scheduled for 8 p.m. In the COVID-19 update, which begins at 7 p.m., district officials will update the board on the revised in-person learning schedule. (Students recently transitioned to four or five days on campus under new public health guidelines regarding physical

distance.) Officials will begin to look at next school year as well. Steve Venz, director of school performance and student outcomes, will provide an update on the Local Control Accountability Plan, a three-year plan that uses community input to assist underrepresented students. The presentation looks at the demographics of the parent advisory committee. The slides indicate that 60.3% of the committee’s members are socioeconomically disadvantaged. A public hearing will be held in June to complete the plan. The district seeks to train La Cumbre Junior High School staff with Safe & Civil Schools to help overcome “increased suspensions, chronic absenteeism and decreased sense of

student safety and belonging.” The training will cost $20,000, to be taken out of site funds, for 24 hours of virtual instruction. Officials will also confirm details of the incentivized summer pay, at a cost of 900,000 in grant money, the board approved during the last meeting. The extended guidelines allot for staff members that do not work 15 hours a week or do not commit to the full program. On the facilities agenda, the board will vote on the lease-leaseback contract for Monroe Elementary’s site improvement and new classroom project.

‘Lush Life’ Cookbook features food and drinks from Montecito resident’s garden

Melon with Lemon Verbena and Serrano Ham is an easy way to start a meal that celebrates summer.

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Years of planning to write a cookbook have finally come to fruition for Valerie Rice with the publication of “Lush Life: Food and Drinks from the Garden” (Prospect Park Books, $35). “It was a labor of love. There were many fits and starts. Then, the pandemic happened, and I decided to dig in and finish it,” said Mrs. Rice from her home in Montecito. What she calls “a love letter to Santa Barbara,” the 296-page mini-coffee table book, which will be released May 4, is a collection of recipes of stunning main dishes, sides, salads, soups and desserts. It also includes cocktails, garden planning and tips, and wine commentary from awardwinning Rajat Parr, a frequent guest at her table. The gorgeous color photographs were taken at her home by Gemma and Andrew Ingalls. Her book is divided into the four seasons, beginning with spring, because “when you cook food in season it’s super fresh and tastes better. You won’t suffer from palate fatigue. It’s a nice way to rotate what’s on your plate. You don’t have to do a lot to make the food look beautiful,” said Mrs. Rice. Among the recipes are Golden Negroni with Bourbon, Kumquat and Thyme; Spring Crudites with Whipped Feta-Piquillo Dip and Mini Pitas; Oven-Baked Ribs with Nasturtium Gremolata; and Red Rhubarb Amaretto Torte. An avid gardener, Mrs. Rice is committed to a schedule of at least two hours on Tuesdays and Fridays tending to the vegetables, fruits and flowers at the home

she shares with her husband, two teen-age daughters, a couple of Labradoodles and a coop full of chickens. “Every place I can, I grow something. We are so lucky to live in Santa Barbara where we can grow produce year round,“ said Mrs. Rice, whose Belgian grandmother inspired her love of gardening. “She had an amazing vegetable garden. I wanted to grow vegetables just like her.” While growing up in Newport Beach, she and her family frequently visited there during the summer. “My mom was from Belgium, and my dad was Italian. I’ve always been passionate about cooking. Food was part of my everyday life. I made the salad dressing for dinner and set the table. I watched Jacques Pepin and Julia Child on television,” said Mrs. Rice, who earned her bachelor’s degree in film studies at UCSB. She shares her passion for food and lifestyle on eatdrinkgarden. com as well as her Eat DrinkGarden Instagram account.

This Triple Coconut Cake is among the recipes in the Spring section of Valerie Rice’s cookbook, “Lush Life: Food and Drinks from the Garden.” It is decorated with toasted unsweetened coconut and the season’s first roses from her garden.

Mrs. Rice has been featured in Sunset, House Beautiful, Santa Barbara Magazine and Flutter and has appeared on “Access Hollywood Live” and Hallmark’s “Home & Family.” Her response was swift when asked which of the four seasons is her favorite. “Spring because after the lull of winter, everyday there is something new blooming,” she said. Her enthusiasm comes through in the introduction to the first section titled “Spring: The Double-Joy Season.” “Spring brings double joy to

my garden: first, harvesting the new bounty of spring treasures, and second, digging in the dirt to start planting for the flavors of summer ... Everything, and I mean everything, is blossoming — from the roses first off the hook bloom to the pineapple guava trees — the thought of which makes me sneeze and smile at the same time ... The recipes in this section include many of my absolute favorites. From garden to kitchen and back outside again, where a fresh, simple dinner surrounded by the scent of fresh soil mingles with the sweetness of those first roses, spring seduces again and again.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

FYI

Summer drinks include, from left, a Summer Sonic with White Port, a Summer Sonic with Gin and Lemon Verbena, a Strawberry Mezcal Margarita and a Basic Martini Spritz with Olives.

Valerie Rice will be speaking and signing her book, “Lush Life: Food & Drinks from the Garden’’ in person from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday at Field + Fort, 2580 Lillie Ave. in Summerland; and at a virtual event from 7 to 8 p.m. May 4, sponsored by Chaucer’s Books. For more information, visit ear-drink-garden.com. Besides Field + Fort and Chaucer’s Books, 3321 State St. in Santa Barbara, the book is available at Tecolote Bookshop, 1470 East Valley Road in Montecito, and online at amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com.

Among the Spring Sides recipes are Quick Sauteed Sugar Snap Peas with Tangerine.

Silverplate warmer helped spruce up dining experience

Spring On!

Any 1 Item

20% OFF* Exp. 5/4/21 *Sale items not included. Limit one coupon per customer.

.T. sends me a unique silverplate revolving round buffet supper server set, large at 18” high by 24” diameter, asking the question: WHY was it a warmer? It kept food hot by means of a deep hollow lazy susan waterwell in which all the dishes sat; there’s a spigot at the base for drainage. It is composed of three covered oval servers for, perhaps, Welsh rarebit, bacon sandwiches, or creamed vegetables, three master salt dishes of etched crystal, and a central tureen which may have had a cover at one time for hot soup. Two wooden handles, massive, to the sides, made it easier for the servants to take it to the sideboard for a late night supper; it must have weighed a bit when it was filled with scalding water. The type of silver plate is English Sheffield, which is a unique type of silver plate, in that the base-metal on all things produced in Sheffield at this time was, in a greater degree, copper. So, the sheen of reddish golden glowed through the silver plating. The round form is accented by a scrolled boarder, stylistically putting it in the mid to late 19th century. Warmers were needed because, firstly, if you could afford a warmer of any kind, your house was large enough to have rooms in which you ate or entertained far from the kitchen, which sometimes was downstairs or in another part of the property altogether. And warmers made the dining experience more private because the addition of hot water into a vessel made it such that you didn’t need waitstaff to attend

the meal. And there’s also the style in which some families were occasioned to eat; breakfast for example was ofttimes a buffet set upon the sideboard; when you awoke, you wandered down and open the lids, and partook. Similarly, late night suppers were usually occurring after the servants had gone to bed, and enjoyed well into the night, especially after a ball or card party. Remember that many of the homes of note in England and on the East Coast of the U.S. were “bleeding COLD” for a good half of the year, so hot food was hard to come by, unless the dishes were either insulated or warmed with a hot water reservoir. The masses of warmers in the late 19th century (in a grander) house was legendary; to mention a few objects made to keep your food warm; at breakfast: an egg warmer, a little silver or silver plate egg shaped ovoid form on stand, a tea server, an urn form with silver or base metal warmer frame inside, a “biggin,” a coffee pot in silver or plate on a stand with a burner or candle feature beneath, the unique muffin warmer, a clamshell device in which your muffin was kept cozy,

a bacon warner, a flat round deep boat with a hot water reservoir beneath, a BIG breakfast warmer for the whole enchilada, and a bun warmer that was a dome of protection for your ‘buns;’ one or many of these were sent up to your room by the maids on a tray or placed upon the sideboard downstairs in the dining room. And that was JUST breakfast. If you were eating a dinner that was formal, and it had a soup course, at the table would be a spoon warmer, a small cannister with an underlying reservoir of hot water to warm JUST your spoon, or, if you were entertaining a small party and the staff was asleep, you would take your plate form a round, vertical silver plate plate warner with a small burner beneath. Vegetable warmers came in two forms, one, for the vegetables that dripped water, like the asparagus warmer, and one for the creamed vegetables, which was oval and had a top cover that mechanically “sank” into the base. The serving dish could also have a warmer base of hot water for the main course. Let us say you were sleepy after all that hot food. You would retire with a small silver plate rectangular box with a few coals or hot water; your foot warmer; and, if, as many ladies did, you slept with gloves or mittens, a small silver plate mitten warmer. I would love to find just one collector who collected warmers, but I doubt I will find her in California. If you DO, contact me; this is a fascinating area of cultural history. The value of the revolving silver plate buffet supper service set is $2,000.

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.
