Santa Barbara mayoral race 2021 A guide to the candidates ahead of Tuesday’s city election By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The City of Santa Barbara election is Tuesday, and registered voters within city limits have six candidates on their ballots. Incumbent Mayor Cathy Murillo is vying for a second term as Santa Barbara’s first Latina mayor. Before public service, she worked as a print and radio journalist. Mayor Murillo is endorsed by the Democratic Party of Santa Barbara County, the Los Padres Chapter of the Sierra Club, Latinas Lead California, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Young Democrats, CAUSE Action Fund, Central Coast Labor Council and SEIU 620, among others. Deborah Schwartz is in her 12th and final year in the Planning Commission and currently serves as chair. Ms. Schwartz has a long career as a business and policy professional but enjoys public service. She spent the majority of her childhood in Santa Barbara, where her mom Naomi Schwartz became a Santa Barbara County supervisor. Ms. Schwartz is endorsed by the Democratic Women of Santa Barbara County and the Santa Barbara Association of Realtors. James Joyce III, founder of Coffee with a Black Guy and former District Director for State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, likes to listen over a cup of coffee. His business has fostered community conversations, and he plans to do the same if elected mayor. He has served on advisory committees and currently serves on nonprofit boards. The Montecito Journal and Santa Barbara Independent endorse Mr. Joyce. Mark Whitehurst is the publisher and editor of VOICE Magazine, which also publishes as CASA. He is a board member of the Downtown organization and previously served as president and treasurer. He also volunteers on the board of Santa Barbara Beautiful and the Santa Barbara Park and Recreation Community Foundation. He is a founding member of First Thursday and amplifies the arts as a major piece of his campaign.

The City of Santa Barbara election set for Tuesday will determine who is mayor of the city.

He boasts a list of endorsements for his candidacy on his website, including Larry J. Feinberg, Santa Barbara Museum of Art CEO and Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Director; Ruth Ellen Hoag, owner of GraySpace Art Studio, and Joan Rutkowski, board chair of Opera Santa Barbara. Matt Kilrain, or “Boat Rat Matt,” is well-known around the waterfront and has caught attention with his hand-painted campaign signs he places around town. His Facebook profile biography labels himself “Santa Barbara’s only pro life tree hugging capitalist.” He has shared unconventional views throughout candidate forums. Randy Rowse, former owner of Paradise Cafe and former council member, has lived in Santa Barbara for the past 36 years after graduating from UCSB. He is running without a party

affiliation. Mr. Rowse has accrued endorsements from: the Santa Barbara City Firefighters’ Association, the Santa Barbara Police Officers’ Association, the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce, the Santa Barbara News-Press publishers and more. Votes may be submitted by mail (must be postmarked by Tuesday), drop box or polling place.

HOUSING Cathy Murillo: Mayor Murillo spoke about pending changes in a candidates forum hosted by the Santa Barbara chapter of the American Institute of Architects. The City is transitioning from the average-unit density program to floor-area ratio. “We’re refining our multifamily housing guidelines and our objective design standards so we

are working on making housing more doable,” she said. “I’ll be working with the new planning director to streamline the application and design review process.” She believes in developing downtown, close to public transit and jobs. Deborah Schwartz: Ms. Schwartz looks to private-public partnerships in her housing policies. She sees potential coupling developers’ capital with incentives from the Housing Authority. Private companies pay taxes on the real estate, providing revenue to the City. James Joyce III: Mr. Joyce looks for workforce housing that could potentially solve multiple problems. In the American Institute of Architects forum, he talked about transforming the school-district-owned former armory at 700 E Canon Perdido Street into housing for teachers.

He has an idea that childcare and family-centric amenities could be offered. Mark Whitehurst: Mr. Whitehurst took a critical view of the permitting process. He also thinks the City Council should look at committee members in the Community Development Department that may be delaying projects. “I believe that we need to take a very close look at committee members that abuse their discretion. And I think that’s what’s causing these repeat meetings is abuse of discretion,” he said. “These committee members either need to be retrained or relieved.” Matt Kilrain: Mr. Kilrain is opposed to new housing development, he said repeatedly in the AIA forum. He believes the housing shortage could be solved Please see CANDIDATES on A4

10 states sue Biden administration over vaccine mandate BY JOE MUELLER THE CENTER SQUARE REPORTER

(The Center Square) — Republican attorneys general Eric Schmitt of Missouri and Doug Peterson of Nebraska are leading eight additional states in a lawsuit against President Joe Biden and his administration for its COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal contractors and federally contracted employees. The lawsuit came Saturday, one day after Missouri Republican Gov. Mike Parson issued an executive order stating the executive branch will not compel or penalize anyone to comply with any federal mandates for the vaccination if individuals have a religious objection or medical restriction. The 44-page complaint was

Joining Missouri and Nebraska in the lawsuit are Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. filed in the U.S. District Court in Eastern Missouri. It states the administration used federal procurement statutes to “create sweeping new power to issue decrees over large swaths of the U.S. economy and take over areas of traditional state power.” The complaint states President Biden’s executive order gave the executive branch “unilateral power to mandate that all employees of federal contractors be vaccinated. This power grab is sweeping in its scope. Employees of federal contractors constitute one-fifth of the total U.S. workforce. And the mandate goes so far as to demand vaccination

Roy Blunt, said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. “The federal government should not be mandating vaccinations, and that’s why we filed suit today — to halt this illegal, unconstitutional action.” The lawsuit states the vaccine mandate exercises “power far beyond what was delegated to the federal government by constitutional mandate or congressional action.” The complaint also states the “power to impose vaccine mandates, to the extent that any such power exists, is a power reserved to the States” and violates the 10th Amendment.

“For the first year and a half of the COVID-19 pandemic, both the Trump and Biden administrations rightly acknowledged that the federal government lacks the authority to broadly mandate vaccines on the American people,” Mr. Peterson said in a statement. “But all that changed on Sept. 9, 2021, when the Biden administration did an aboutface and announced that it would impose a wide-ranging set of vaccine mandates, including one for employees of federal contractors. This far-reaching order is unconstitutional because it is the states, not the federal government, that are responsible

even from employees who work entirely within their own home. That is unconstitutional, unlawful and unwise.” Joining Missouri and Nebraska are Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. “If the federal government attempts to unconstitutionally exert its will and force federal contractors to mandate vaccinations, the workforce and businesses could be decimated, further exacerbating the supply chain and workforce crises,” Mr. Schmitt, a candidate for the seat of retiring Republican U.S. Sen.

for addressing such matters of public health.” In addition to President Biden, Robin Carnahan, an administrator for the General Services Administration and co-chair of the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force, was named as one of eight additional defendants. Ms. Carnahan, a Democrat, served as Missouri’s secretary of state from 2005 to 2013 and lost to Mr. Blunt in the race for the seat of retiring U.S. Sen. Kit Bond in 2010. She is the daughter of Mel Carnahan, who served as governor of Missouri and was the Democratic nominee elected to the U.S. Senate after he died in a plane crash in October 2000.

UCSB defeats UC San Diego 3-1 in volleyball By DANIEL MOEBUS-BOWLES UCSB SPORTS WRITER

LA JOLLA —The Gauchos found their fourth straight win Saturday night as the UCSB Women’s Volleyball team defeated host UC San Diego 3-1. UCSB now boasts an 11-1 record in Big West Conference play. UCSB outhit UCSD by .318 to .118 and scooped up 71 digs to the Triton’s 53 during the match in La Jolla. Freshman Michelle Ohwobete once again led the team with 16 kills on a .303 hitting percentage to go along with six

digs and two blocks. Four Gauchos reached double-digit digs with Macall Peed (19) leading the way followed by Grace Kloss (11), Kobie Jimenez (11), and Rowan Ennis (10) Deni Wilson had a potent 11-1-23 line for a .435 hitting percentage to go with four blocks UCSB won the opening set 25-16. There were zero ties and zero lead changes with the Gauchos dominating their way to a 10 lead. During the set, UCSB led by as much as 10 and outhit UCSD .484 to .135. UCSD won the second set 25-23.

The Tritons held the Gauchos to their lowest hitting percentage of the night at .200. But neither team gained more than a three-point advantage in the second frame battle that saw the Big West foes tied at 22-22. Then UCSD scored two straight, with the Gauchos managing to fend off one setpoint, but the host team avoided extra points and tied the match at 1-1 with a clutch kill. UCSB won the third set 25-12. The tiebreaker set was close through the early points, featuring seven ties and five lead changes until the teams met at

7-7 From there, the Gauchos closed out the remainder of the set on an 18-5 run holding the Tritons to a match-low .030 hitting percentage and seven kills. Ohwobete ended the set with a kill assisted by Jimenez. UCSB won the fourth set 25-18. The set was much like the first in that the Gauchos led throughout its entirety. UCSB opened up the frame with a 10-0 run, all but sealing its second win of the season against UC San Diego. The Tritons showed life late in the set holding off four straight match-points,

but fell on a service error that ended the match. The Gauchos now return home for another pair of back-to-back matches next weekend beginning with a Friday night matchup with Cal State Bakersfield and concluding with rival Cal Poly Saturday night. Both matches begin at 7 p.m. Daniel Moebus-Bowles is the assistant sports communications director at UCSB. email: dmason@newpress.com

UCSB women’s swim team makes splash By ARTHUR WILKIE AND DANIEL MESSINGER UCSB SPORTS WRITERS

SAN LUIS OBISPO. — The UCSB women’s swim team decisively won their first conference dual meet of the season Saturday, beating rival Cal Poly 174-120. The men’s squad, competing in its second dual meet in as many days, came up just short, falling 146-142. The women’s squad jumped out to a quick start, taking all three of the top spots in the 400 Medley Relay, with the “A” team of Gillian Flath, Katie Nugent, Dora Seggelke and Reagan Nibarger touching first in 3:53.10. Senior Dora Seggelke was a top performer for the women’s squad, finishing first in both the 100 Fly (56.92) and 200 Fly (2:04.98). Nibarger, Nugent, Kristin Bartlett and Marriott Hoffmann each took home their own first and second-place finishes. Nibarger finished first in the 100 Free (52.49) and 200 Free (1:55.20), Nugent finished first in the 200 Breast (2:22.69) and second in the 100 Breast (1:06.19), Bartlett finished first in the 100 Back (57.45) and second in the 200 Back (2:04.67), and Hoffmann finished 1st in the 50 Free (24.33) and second in the 100 Free (53.69). Senior Molly McCance contributed first- and third-place finishes while freshman Michelle Tekawy finished first in the 400 IM (4:30.08).

The 200 Fly was a particularly strong event for Santa Barbara, taking the top four spots. To finish off the day, the relay team of Nibarger, Hoffmann, Hannah Joseph, and Amelia Hammer won the 200 Free Relay in 1:36.38. On the men’s side, the Mustangs were able to scrape out a slim victory with the outcome not decided until the last event. Highlight events for the men’s squad were the 200 Free and 400 IM, in which the top three finishers were all Gauchos. Freshman Kyle Brill had a standout performance, finishing first in the 400 IM (4:02.33) and second in both the 100 Back (50.67) and 200 Back (1:52.06). Sophomore Corban McIntosh touched first in the 100 Breast (57.15) and second in the 200 Breast (2:05.80). Austin Sparrow, Tim Lee, and Dan Marella each contributed first-place wins of their own, with Marella also adding a third-place victory. Taber daCosta and Dominic Falcon each had two second-place finishes, while Justin Wong finished second in the 200 Free (1:42.13). The Gauchos return to competition this Saturday at UC San Diego, taking on the Tritons at 11 a.m. Arthur Wilkie and Daniel Messinger, who submitted this story to the News-Press, work at UCSB in sports communications.

MERCED — Iyree Jarrett drained 29 points to help lead the No. 1 Westmont women’s basketball team (1-0) to a 7155 win over UC Merced in the Warriors’ season opener on Saturday afternoon. Jarrett’s tally was the second-highest single game total of her Westmont career. She made 10 of 16 shots from the field, including three of seven from 3-point range. She also went six of eight from the charity stripe. Stefanie Berberabe notched 19 points for the Warriors along with four steals and four assists during the game in Merced. The senior guard made seven of 15 attempts. Laila Saenz, playing in her first countable game as a Warrior, notched 11 points. Destiny Okonkwo and Sydney Brown led Westmont on the boards with 11 and nine rebounds respectively. Both players added five points to the Warriors’ cause. The Bobcats jumped out to a 7-0 lead to start the game before the Warriors flipped the script. Westmont’s first points came courtesy of a pair of free throws from Okonkwo midway through the first quarter. Then a pair of threes by Berberabe and Jarrett pulled the Warriors to within one (9-8). Another three by Jarrett gave Westmont its first lead (11-9) with 3:32 in the opening frame. At the end of the first 10 minutes, Westmont was up 14-12. In the second quarter, the Warriors outscored the Bobcats 24-12. After an opening 3-pointer by Julina Fletes gave Merced a 15-14 advantage, the Warriors scored the next 12 points — eight by Berberabe and four by Jarrett — to take the score to 26-15. Over the rest of the second period, Westmont outscored Merced 12-9 to take a 38-24 lead into the locker room at halftime. Westmont took its biggest lead of the third quarter (4529) when Brown connected on a layup with 7:48 to play. However, the Bobcats began to whittle away at Westmont’s advantage and pulled within seven (56-49) when Haylee Owen sank a three near the end of the period. Three minutes into the final frame, the Bobcats were still within seven points (60-53). That was before the Warriors ran off 10 unanswered points. Jarrett got the run started with a pair of layups before Okonkwo added a free throw. Berberabe added another free throw, then scored on a jumper. Saenz added two more free throws to make the score 70-53 with 43 second remaining in regulation. The rest of the scoring was accounted for from the free throw lines. Saturday’s win was the 28th in a row for the Warriors against NAIA opponents and the 30th in a row against non-NCAA Division I opponents. The streak began on Jan 23, 2020. Next week, the Warriors will travel to Eugene, Ore., for a match-up with No. 22 Bushnell (formerly Northwest Christian University) on Thursday before taking on the Ducks of Oregon on Saturday in an exhibition.

to host the GSAC Tournament semifinals and finals on Nov. 11 and 13. Westmont has a bye in next week’s quarterfinal round, as does Hope International (11-0-2, 6-0-2) who claimed a share of the GSAC Regular Season Title with a 2-0 win over San Diego Christian (211, 1-7). The quarterfinals on Saturday will feature William Jessup (9-5-2, 3-3-2) at The Master’s (9-3-3, 5-3) and Menlo at Ottawa. The lowest-remaining seed emerging from the quarters will take on Westmont in a semifinal game beginning at 1:30 p.m. November 11. Westmont’s game will follow the semifinal game featuring Hope International against the other victorious team in the quarterfinals. In regard to receiving a bye next weekend, Jaggard said, “We are looking forward to a week of training to recover and fine tune our offensive ideas in the final third.” Tickets for the semifinals and finals are available at gsacsports. org/tickets.

a Jessup player and a foul was called by the center official. That set up Alvarez’ free kick. “We were pretty fatigued today,” acknowledged Jaggard, “but I am so proud of how the team battled through two overtimes and how Daisy was able to put away the game winner with a free kick outside the box. This is the fourth goal she has scored this season from free kicks.” Westmont produced 37 shots during the game compared to seven by Jessup. The Warriors from Montecito placed 17 of their attempts on target compared to just four by their counterparts from Rocklin. “Our team defending this week has been very impressive, “assessed Jaggard, “nearly eliminating our opponents’ offensive threats and allowing us to generate some of the highest offensive stats I have ever seen from a team.” As a result of Saturday’s victory, combined with a 4-0 win by Ottawa, Ariz. (10-3-3, 4-1-3) over Arizona Christian (3-11-1, 0-7-1), the Warriors earned the right

ROCKLIN — Daisy Alvarez played hero for the Warriors on Saturday afternoon, scoring on a free kick from 25 yards out in the 108th minute to give the Westmont Women’s soccer team (10-1-3, 6-0-2 GSAC) a 2-1 doubleovertime win over William Jessup (9-5-2, 3-3-2). With the win, Westmont clinched a share of the Golden State Athletic Conference Regular Season Co-Championship. The conference title marks the 100th time Westmont teams have claimed a GSAC Championship. “Our team is so excited to clinch the title,” said Westmont head coach Jenny Jaggard. “This conference season has been a battle, and we have done a good job to consistently grind out results.” The Warriors went undefeated in regular season conference play for the second straight season. They have not lost a conference game in more than two years. Reese Davidson put the first

tally on the board for the Warriors with a goal in the 15th minute. Davidson intercepted a pass from a defender, dribbled toward the goal and let go a shot from the top of the 18-yard box that found the back of the net. “Reese scored one of the best goals of the season from outside the box,” reported Jaggard. “It was like a bullet. Their keeper had no chance to save it.” The Warriors took the 1-0 lead into halftime, but less than two minutes after the intermission, Jessup’s Alhan Bakideh found the equalizer. After receiving a pass from Kaylee Gillespie, Bakideh’s shot hit the crossbar, then bounced past the goal line. In the 83rd minute, Jessup’s Sophia Patterson was presented with a red card, removing her from the game and requiring her team to play one person down the rest of the contest With less than three minutes remaining in the second overtime period, Shayna Stock sent a ball forward from just beyond midfield toward Amarys Machado.

NEWS-PRESS ENDORSEMENT

Randy Rowse for Santa Barbara mayor Santa Barbara desperately needs a leader who not only understands but appreciates business — the lifeblood that keeps the city running. We believe there is no one on the slate better to fill the position of mayor than Randy Rowse — a man who successfully ran a thriving business. This city has had the alternative for decades. As a result, one only has to look at the state of downtown today: “Homelessness” run amok, streets becoming increasingly narrow for cars but extremely

wide for bikes and skateboarders, bulb-outs and the canyonization of Chapala. On the horizon, and probably blocking it, are high rises on State and Santa Barbara streets. Get ready for more massive structures built much too close to sidewalks and streets that would make Pearl Chase roll over in her grave. Not to mention, arbitrarily deciding to increase what was height limit of structures and allowing structures to be built too close to sidewalks and streets, dirty sidewalks, shoppers being accosted by petty criminals who never see the inside of a jail, the city’s micro-managing of those businesses that can still operate. There are too many arbitrary regulations being foisted upon

those businesses still in business — and more coming all the time. It’s taxation without representation for those who own businesses downtown and within the city limits. Business owners pay an inordinate amount of taxes and fees yet have no voting rights if one lives outside the city limits. Basically, it’s punishing those who bring money into the city coffers yet giving windfalls to those who bring nothing — spending $1.6 million to house 50 alleged homeless for four months in hotel rooms — paid for by those who have no say. If you don’t want status quo governance of Santa Barbara, vote for Randy Rowse. He’s the only candidate who can turn this city around.

SCHWALM, Randall Jay “Dingo” Dear Family and Friends: On May 1 2020, Randall Jay “Dingo” Schwalm died unexpectedly in his home in Palm Springs, California. Randy was born July 29, 1964 in Wiesbaden, Germany. He was preceded in death by father, Karl Rickard Schwalm and mother, Johanna Sue Welty. Additionally, Dingo is survived by siblings Kristine Lynn Schwalm ( Sorrell) and Eric Lee Schwalm along with aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. After graduating from Santa Ynez High School, Randy moved to Santa Barbara where he worked long term for Sonatech, LLC, in the purchasing department. As he made his way in the world as an adult, Randall had a valuable mentor in his Uncle John Welty who lived close in Carpinteria. While working long hours at Sonatech, Randy simultaneously pursued and achieved his Masters in Family Counseling. He was exceptional with the assisting of others. The desire to assist led him down a path where he worked extensively as a counselor. Dingo’s early counseling endeavors included counseling HIV positive clients. He also was passionate about his liaison role in mainstreaming homosexuals into the “straight world” as he had put it once. Randy eventually moved to Palm Springs, where he developed a private practice. RAFAEL MALDONADO / NEWS-PRESS

LETTER TO THE NEWS-PRESS

It’s time to change our leaders Editor’s note: This letter was submitted too late for Sunday’s Voices section, but is being printed today because it pertains to Tuesday’s election. Our city leaders and Santa Barbara City Council have been taking us in the wrong direction. We’re suffering from the wrong approach to homelessness, road congestion from poor planning, staff turnover, lack of support for

police and too much red tape for business. We need a real plan for the homeless that includes addiction and mental health treatment, along with cracking down on the lawlessness and vagrancy that is hitting the most vulnerable the hardest.

During Randall’s lifetime, not only was he a champion for gay rights, he was also an avid animal lover and nature lover to put it mildly. His involvement in numerous men’s groups led to men’s spiritual based retreats that led to camping and embracing nature. Dingo’s travels led him around the world. Randy was a compassionate, kind, and loving soul to everyone he encountered. He had a ﬁerce love of alternative spirituality, especially Egyptian History. The attention to detail he gave to his surroundings and the thought that went into his lifelong communication with family was astounding. Remarkable human. There is no memorial planned at this time. We ask that all that knew him please remember him in peace.

We need city leadership to support our local police by ensuring they have the resources they need to do the best jobs possible.

Candidates share thoughts on a variety of topics CANDIDATES

Continued from Page A1

by kicking the “gangbusters” out of town. Randy Rowse: Mr. Rowse said in the AIA forum he would approach developers and ask where the “holes” are in the process and try to fix “onerous and uncertain permitting systems.” He is hesitant to accept ideas such as adapting parking structures for housing or building taller. He believes the market will remain expensive. “If we build all these things, what we see with every project we’ve built, we still have not discovered affordability,” he said. “So would we trash Santa Barbara and then still not have it be affordable?”

DIVERSITY AND EQUITY Cathy Murillo: Mayor Murillo points to a number of projects she is working on to promote equity: civilian oversight of law enforcement, a project that will reveal the history of people of color in Santa Barbara and expansion of Spanish-language materials from the City. The City is planning to hire a bilingual public information officer. Deborah Schwartz: Ms. Schwartz would like an audit of the city’s payroll, employee review and hiring practices. “I want real data,” she said in the League of Women Voters forum. “I think that it’s time we ask our human resources director to gather that so that the mayor and council together can look at the hard evidence as to whether or not we have disparities in our institutional system and then decide what the path forward is to remedy those.” James Joyce III: Mr. Joyce, who was unable to attend the LWV forum, puts focus on listening to community members. He believes he can engage previously unheard populations. “Understanding what it’s like to be invisible, to be able to hear but not be heard: these are skills and perspectives that I bring to the office that I think are valuable,” he said during a campaign event in August. He would like to conduct an equity audit on the city charter, including native land recognition. Mark Whitehurst: Mr. Whitehurst said the State Street Promenade should serve as a stage for the city’s cultures. Everyone should be welcome and able to use the space — including children and those in wheelchairs, he said. Matt Kilrain: When asked about plans for equity, Mr. Kilrain said others were “wordsmithing” the term. He, instead, talked about equity as financial ownership and lauded his plan to give Santa Barbara natives a piece of the City’s profit.

Randy Rowse: Mr. Rowse said he currently sees diversity in the city, particularly the police department. He would focus on recruitment to retain locals and diverse candidates.

SUSTAINABILITY Cathy Murillo: In the League of Women Voters forum, Mayor Murillo drew attention to recent advancements in the city’s sustainability efforts. There is a new sustainability and resilience department; Community Choice Energy is expanding into the city, and the city is using more solar energy. The City Council recently banned natural gas in new construction. “We’re forward thinking and really looking out for the young people in this community; they will feel the brunt of climate disruption,” she said. Deborah Schwartz: Ms. Schwartz’s Santa Barbara S.A.F.E. Plan addresses emergency preparedness during the climate crisis. She believes there needs to be strategic planning to improve access in and out of the community in case of emergency. Her plan includes building workforce housing so essential workers are in the city in times of great need. James Joyce III: Mr. Joyce worked for former State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, who championed environmental issues. He supports the City’s current work and would like to streamline the solar-panel permitting process. Mark Whitehurst: Sustainability and the arts are the largest components of Mr. Whitehurst’s platform. He would like to make Santa Barbara an environmental destination, combining the beauty of the land with education, he told the News-Press. Matt Kilrain: Mr. Kilrain alluded to a “long, dark winter” while answering the League of Women Voters’ sustainability question. “Our primary focus needs to be emergency preparedness,” he said. Randy Rowse: He chaired the sustainability committee and Tajiguas Materials Recovery Committee during his time on the City Council. In his answer to the LWV, he emphasized creating microgrids for emergencies. “We can’t become monochromatic when it comes to procuring our energy; we need to be diverse,” he said.

STATE STREET Cathy Murillo: She envisions State Street as a hub for activities and well-paying jobs. She would like the street to remain closed to vehicles and has ideas for concerts, games and familyfriendly events. Mayor Murillo is in support of a vacancy tax on storefronts that remain empty for long periods of

time, though she acknowledges the ordinance would have to be made carefully, she told the NewsPress. Deborah Schwartz: Ms. Schwartz hopes to see more housing near State Street. She believes the City should streamline the permitting process for business owners to speed up economic development. James Joyce III: He would talk to business owners about their vision for State Street and pair it with ideas from the architectural charrettes the City hosted years ago. Architects imagined creative futures for State Street, and Mr. Joyce would like to see more ideas get implemented. “We were envisioning a pedestrian walkway on State, but it took a global pandemic to get us there,” he said in a campaign event. “There are other ideas that we have been talking about that we need to be innovative and bold and go ahead and do because we are in a very pivotal time in our community and in our country.” Mark Whitehurst: His first priority is cleaning up State Street of any grime and planting the estimated 1,000 tree wells with foliage. He also would like to see stations with caseworkers, community ambassadors and first responders. “It would create vibrancy in itself, being able to see more people on the street that are official, that are there helping,” he said in the LWV forum. Matt Kilrain: Mr. Kilrain is opposed to the expansion of 5G connectivity and LED lighting downtown. “Now I see a more traditional town with dim lights and romance,” he said in the League of Women Voters forum. “I wouldn’t mind seeing some horse and buggies around, the way we used to have.” Randy Rowse: Mr. Rowse has been opposed to the promenade in the past but is open to the idea. “I have been on the record in City Council always as I don’t love closing streets, I really don’t, especially the main street,” he told the News-Press in April. He has ideas for the promenade, he said in the LWV forum, including: pre-approved parklet designs for business owners, retractable dividers to close off streets, a bike lane and an electric shuttle. He would like to clean up the area and brighten the lighting to reduce crime. The candidates’ websites are: cathymurillo.com, schwartzforsb.com, joyceformayor. com, markformayorsb.com, boatratmatt.com, rowseformayor. com. The results of the election will be displayed outside of City Hall, facing De la Guerra Plaza, from 8:15-9 p.m. Tuesday in addition to online postings. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Santa Barbara Symphony, State Street Ballet, professional vocalists and New York City actors collaborate on ‘Kismet’ By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

‘K

ismet” met with positive reaction as New York City actors, professional vocalists, the State Street Ballet and Santa Barbara

Symphony collaborated on an ambitious project. “In my quarter century here as founder (of the State Street Ballet), I’ve never seen this much going on at one time,” Rodney Gustafson, the ballet’s executive and artistic director, told the News-Press earlier. “We’ve done big things with a

hundred singers on risers and us on the stage and the Santa Barbara Symphony in the pit. We’ve done nothing of this magnitude, with such a variety of talent, with leading people from Broadway.” “Kismet” was performed Oct. 23 and 24 at The Granada on State Street.

The audience included Bonnie Evans, who played the Princess of Ababu in the original Broadway production of “Kismet” in 1953 in New York City. “Kismet” is a Tony-winning musical set in and around ancient Baghdad, where an opportunist/poet gets into and

out of trouble in ways fitting for a musical comedy. There’s also the Caliph, who’s determined to get married, and plenty of plot twists. The musical is Charles Lederer and Luther Davis’ Tony-winning 1954 adaptation of the 1911 play “Kismet” by Edward Knoblock. The lyrics

How long does something remain a masterpiece?

R. has lugged around a massive pair of old books, 25 at 19 inches by 13: “Meisterwerke of German Art” by Carl Thonet Jutsum, 1883-4, and he wonders if the collection of art pictured in these books is still recognized as “Masterpieces.” (That’s what the German word “Meisterwerke” means.) This is an excellent question, one that goes right to the heart of what makes a work of art “immortal” or “important,” and, furthermore, why some works of art are beloved in some eras and despised in another. Indeed, the very question of “what is a work of art” is broached; although we think that the pieces hanging in our great museums are “masterpieces,” will they be considered such in 200 years? These two illustrated tomes are a case study in visual culture. To discuss why, we must give recognition to the printmakers who reproduced these works of art, the engravers, etchers, and woodcut copyist of fine art. Yes, this was indeed a career. Copyists were engaged to re-produce fine art from paintings, called “Reproductive Prints After (fillin artist’s name).” Just a few of the great artists who were reproduced from the 15th to the 20th centuries were Raphael, Rubens, Carracci, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Van Eyck, Titian, Michelangelo ... In fact, the only way art lovers could see great works was through the publication of prints after a certain work of art. The argument might be made that without the army of copyists through the ages who reproduced fine engravings “after” a work, our world of visual culture would be lacking a good portion of our visual vocabulary when speaking or looking at art. Here’s an example: the first volume of “Meisterwerke”

states that there is no Germanic art before Christianity and uses copies of “great” works to reinforce that statement. As proof, the author, writing in 1880s, states that until Irish Monks brought the Christian Illuminated Manuscript to Europe, no art existed. After the technique of Illumination (illustrating Holy Books) was discovered as practiced in Ireland, German monks in the 7th century began to add simple pen and ink drawings with color to illustrate their manuscripts. The author gives, as evidence, two German-illustrated manuscripts (814 A.D.), The Bible of St. Paul, and the MS of the Covent of Wessobrunn (815 A.D.). The author places the beginning of Germanic (called Teutonic) art with the advent of Christianity, which “frames” what the author means when he chooses “Art.” (I wonder if he imagined the reaction in 1908 when the Venus of Willendorf was discovered, dating from 24,00022,000 B.C.E., now in the Museum of Natural History Vienna)? The reproduction of certain works of art pictured in many such compendia of geographically specific art reinforced certain cultural biases about what makes a work great. “Meisterwerke” is no exception. The author lauds the “realistic” nature of German art as a Germanic trait visually expressed. A world of hurt proceeded from this kind of bias, but also worlds of good. For example, through copyist’s engravings, common folk visited the great works without travel, impossible for centuries. Other artists could see what other artists were doing in other “schools.” Art so copied enjoyed a public forum for discussion and education. Moreover, books like

“Meisterwerke,” whose author used a whole team of engravers and etchers, who traveled to museums and private collections to copy works and, in fact, became “star-makers” though their expert drafting and engraving skills. To be an artist included in such a book meant an established fame. But for how long? That’s the question F.R. is asking. Once a work was published, as copied by a master engraver, how long (historically speaking) was a work of art considered a masterpiece? Since copyists have been copying since the Renaissance, we have a good indication of two factors. Firstly, book publishers who collected images to publish from fine copyists had great influence over visual culture for centuries, and two, that the art climate changes, often reinforced by copies of art. Great thinkers like F.R. have asked this same question: is a work of art “itself” only, or does it live only in copies? I had an up-close exposure to this question when I worked with the eminent dealer Robert Strossi in Boston on a collection of the woodcut engraver Timothy Cole, one of the best and perhaps one of the last great copyists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Look at the collection at Strossi’s Brier Hill Gallery online. The massive two volumes, if sold, would fetch $390, because of the questions it raises, and the climate that has changed. Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press Life section. Written after her father’s COVID-19 diagnosis, Dr. Stewart’s book “My Darlin’ Quarantine: Intimate Connections Created in Chaos” is a humorous collection of five “what-if” short stories that end in personal triumphs over presentday constrictions. It’s available at Chaucer’s in Santa Barbara.

Thought for Today

By Horoscope.com Monday, November 1, 2021 Libra — Mercury retrograde notwithstanding, have you enjoyed the spoils of your season, Libra? Fortunately, chatty Mercury emerges from his retrograde in your sign, so the last few days of the Libra sun should be a little brighter. As we tumble into Scorpio season on Friday, your focus may begin to stray from your appearance to your finances. Scorpio — It’s nearly your time to shine, Scorpio! The sun dips into your sign on Friday, illuminating your appearance zone. With the retrograde over and the spotlight on you, this could be an excellent time to switch things up a bit on a couple fronts. Sagittarius — The last few weeks may have seen a couple of hiccups in your network and friendships, Sagittarius. Speaking before thinking isn’t the Sagittarian ethos. Coupled with Mercury retrograde, your social life might’ve been rough, so don’t be afraid to begin that apology tour. Capricorn — All has not been quiet on the career front — has it, Capricorn? Over the last few weeks, Mercury retrograde may have been wreaking havoc at work. Lost contracts? Miscommunications? Unsent emails? You have the retrograde trickster planet to thank for that. Fortunately, this all comes to an end on Monday when the planet goes direct. Aquarius — Have you been looking for an opportunity to speak up, Aquarius? Well. Look no further! This Wednesday’s full moon in Aries falls right into your communication sector, inspiring you to say what’s real. However, you might take care to keep your cool during this time. The truth may set you free, but you need not tee others off as you speak it. Mercury retrograde may be over, but miscommunication can happen at any time! Pisces — To say this Mercury retrograde has been a little intense for you would be an understatement — wouldn’t it, Pisces? The big bad (and retrograde) trickster planet has been stinking up your intimacy sector for the last few weeks, triggering major transformations and (possibly) more than a few breakdowns.

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.

Aries — Having Mercury retrograde grade in your sector of one-on-one’s and relationships is no easy task, Aries. So, if you’re in a relationship that weathered this retrograde of retrogrades, pat yourself on the back and call up CBS because you are a Survivor! For your trouble, Mercury—now direct—will linger in this sector, gifting you with an irresistible charm. Taurus — I hope Mercury retrograde hasn’t completely demolished your routines, Taurus. Having Mercury retrograde in your habit zone for the last few weeks probably hasn’t been the easiest. Fortunately, with the planet doing direct this week, you’re being given to opportunity to clean house—literally, figuratively, and on multiple fronts. Gemini — The retrograde trickster planet has been skipping through your pleasure and creativity zone for the last few weeks, Gemini. While you’re usually one for games, your artistic exploits are nothing to play with, and Mercury has been doing just that. Fortunately, you may be beginning this week with a wealth of new ideas as Mercury rights himself from his retrograded status. Cancer — Surviving the family feuds of the last few weeks must have been a feat, Cancer. While Mercury retrograde was sitting unceremoniously in your family and home sector, your home base may have felt less welcoming than usual. Leo — It’s only up from here for you, Leo! After weeks of what may have been multiple communication faux pas’, Mercury in Libra returns to direct motion, signaling a return to your charming, conversational self. As the planet remains in your communication zone, this may be the perfect time to talk through those touchy subjects that you’ve been tip-toeing around throughout the retrograde. Virgo — Your credit cards heave a sigh of relief as Mercury goes direct on Monday, Virgo. During the retrograde trickster planet’s stay in your finance zone, you may have suffered from a touch a shopaholism, but don’t fret! It happens to the best of us. You’ll now begin to get your financial life back on track.

At left, the audience appreciated Jonathan Raviv’s portrayal of Hajj, the poet in “Kismet.” At right, Bonnie Evans, who originated the role of the Princesses of Ababu in the original Broadway production of “Kismet” in 1953 in New York City meets with the current “princesses” outside The Granada

KISMET

Continued from Page B1

Howard Keel as the poet and Ann Blyth as Marsinah. The Santa Barbara production included New York City actors Jonathan Raviv as Hajj and Sherz Aletaha as Lalume. Nir Kabaretti, the symphony’s

music and artistic director, expressed his enthusiasm about the project in an interview with the News-Press before the performance. “It’s been 18 months that we haven’t had an (in-person) audience,” Maestro Kabaretti said. “... For the dancers, for the musicians, it’s a thrill to be back. ‘It’s an important moment,

and I couldn’t be happier to do something on this level of collaboration,” Maestro Kabaretti said. In addition, “there are not many classical composers whose music becomes a Broadway standard,” Maestro Kabaretti said. He was referring to the musical’s song, “Stranger in Paradise,” a song in which Mr. Wright and Mr.

Forrest based the melody on Borodin’s “Gliding Dance of the Maidens” from the Polovtsian Dances in the opera “Prince Igor.” Maestro Kabaretti expected the audience would recognize “Stranger in Paradise,” which Frank Sinatra recorded. Lonny Price, who directed the local production of “Kismet,” also praised the music.

“Kismet boasts one of the most magnificent scores ever heard on a Broadway stage,” Mr. Price, known for his Broadway productions of classics such as “Sweeney Todd” and “Sunset Boulevard,” said in a statement. He added that diversity was important in this production. In another statement before the performance William Soleau, the State Street Ballet’s co-

artistic director and the show’s choreographer, noted Mr. Price “wanted a brand new, top to the bottom, original interpretation of this musical. We (used) full blown dance numbers to move the narrative forward, and it (was) a dream to be able to revive this classic, Tony Award-winning show.” email: dmason@newspress.com
