A New Oyster Bar Shucking Its Way to Stearns Wharf - inside Moby Dick

By Destin Cavazos / VOICE

THE OYSTERS SHINE

IN THEIR SHELL at

The Oyster Bar, a new restaurant concept located inside Moby Dick restaurant on Stearns Wharf. In the fresh ocean air, the exciting new seafood venue opens its doors to the public on Thursday, May 30th. The Oyster Bar will offer a selection of ceviches, tartares, and shellfish, all sourced locally and sustainably.

“Since the opening of Moby Dick in 1980, the restaurant scene in Santa Barbara has become both more sophisticated and more competitive,” admits restaurant general manager Miguel Flores.

From the Ritz Carlton Hotel and Resort comes renowned chef David Campos, joined by Amado Simón, formerly of Beach Side Bar Cafe.

“We are thrilled to bring The Oyster Bar to the city of Santa Barbara,” said Chef David Campos. “Our goal is to showcase the best of local seafood in a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere.”

In addition to sustainable seafood offerings, the Oyster Bar will also feature a craft cocktail menu, selection of central coast wines, and local draft beers— all while taking full advantage of the unique setting on Stearns Wharf. The bar aims to become a hotspot for local Santa Barbara clientele, with a focus on hospitality and service. These coming changes hope to bring in new business to the Stearns Wharf area, where locals and visitors alike can experience stunning views of the Santa Barbara Channel.

“After more than 30 years in business, we wanted to rejuvenate our iconic restaurant and appeal to a dining audience that has become more sophisticated and has new expectations. The oyster bar is the first phase of a broader renovation to be executed over the coming years.”

Along with a new menu, The Oyster Bar also brings new culinary minds to Stearns Wharf.

“I am so happy to see that Moby’s is taking advantage of their magnificent venue,” adds Stearns Wharf Business Association President, Neil Bruskin. “Last week I had the honor of taking in the views and tasting a variety of items from the new menu, and everything was fantastic. This is one of the best things to happen at

THE EARTH UNDER OUR FEET

Thursday, June 6 | 5 - 8 pm | Construction of clay wall Sunday, June 9 | 1 - 4 pm | Interactive public performance

After 35 years in Southern India, transdisciplinary artist Ashwini Bhat now lives and works in the foothills of Sonoma Mountain, CA. Coming from a background in literature and training in Bharatanatyam, a classical Indian dance, Bhat uses sculptures, installations, video, and text to develop a unique visual language exploring the intersections between body and nature, self and other.

In this site-specific immersive performance, “Earth Under Our Feet” evolves over three days, incorporating clay and inspired by the symbols of the spiral and the mandala. Bhat invites public participation in the process, using the South Asian practice of foot wedging, urging the participants to notice our entangled connection to the ground we stand on. And in this collaborative shaping of clay, we build a sense of belonging, of repair of community, self, and place.

This performance has been made possible through the generosity of Starr Siegele. Additional support provided by Laguna Clay Company.

Flying High at the Lobero with the Canaries

By Jesse Caverly / VOICE

he songs of luminary jazz singers such as Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald will echo between the walls of the Lobero Theatre, on Saturday June 29th at 7:30pm. Belting out swinging jazz with a female perspective, singers Jane Monheit and Carmen Bradford will take the audience on a nostalgic journey through the golden age of jazz in Flying High: Big Band Canaries Who Soared. Music director, jazz pianist, and vocalist Champian Fulton will lead the way, in a tribute to the “canaries,” as they were called, the female jazz singers of the Big Band era who blazed the way for other women singers of the time. Fulton, a mainstay of the New York jazz scene, brings a wealth of expertises on the music of this era, as well as her perspective as a woman.

“The women we are honoring in this show,” Fulton shared, “began in a field that was almost entirely made up of men. The bands were led by men and most, if not all, the musicians in the band were men. Even the lead vocalists in the bands were men. What makes these women so amazing is how they left those well-known, popular bands, a trailblazing but risky decision, and went to audiences with their own music, style, and sound. They were the artists who showed the world that women had musical talent comparable to men…a lot of the great music being made today comes from female musicians and music lovers recognize that.”

After three sold-out nights at the world-famous Birdland Jazz Club in New York last month, Jazz at the Ballroom (JATB) is bringing Flying High to the West

Carmen Bradford

coast. A non-profit dedicated to presenting classic jazz to new audiences in small and intimate settings, one of JATB’s requirements is the venue have some historical significance and atmosphere, which the Lobero has to offer, in spades. Over 150 years old, the Lobero is California’s oldest and longest continuously run theater, and has hosted the greatest legends of jazz, opera, and the world of music at large.

Suzanne Waldowski, founder of Jazz at the Ballroom, noted this show seeks to “elevate the artistry of these women and educate others about their influence on music in general and the next generation of artists in particular.”

Sharing her enthusiasm for the appeal of jazz for new and long-time listeners, Fulton said, “This music doesn’t go away. I think it’s because the harmonies, and the songs in general, are so creative and beautiful. The melodies and lyrics still speak to audiences. Jazz is America’s art form, shared with the world. It makes the listener feel good and reflects the indomitable American spirit.”

Jane Monheit’s records have topped the jazz charts and garnered her a few Grammy Award nominations. Carmen Bradford is also a 2022 Grammy Nominee, and a recipient of the Los Angeles Jazz Society’s Jazz Vocalist Award. Besides the accolades, these two artists bring with them a jazz lineage and a soulful reverence for the source material.

A passionate patron of the arts, Waldowski grew up in a family of jazz enthusiasts, and established JATB in 2016 after moving from New York into famed movie star Bing Crosby’s former grand country manor in California. What began as an off-the-cuff series of shows in the ballroom of Crosby’s old estate has become a revered concert experience, to see both living legends and Grammy winners share jazz from the Great American Songbook. This show draws from the big band era of Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, and Benny Goodman. Some of the greatest women singers of that era, such as Anita O’Day, Lena Horne, Peggy Lee, and Rosemary Clooney, to name a few, will be honored.

Flying High: Big Band Canaries Who Soared, is well-suited for a venue like the Lobero, a place where multigenerational audiences can feel as if they are taking part in something timeless, one-of-a-kind, and memorable.

Cleanup Held by Local Volunteers and Commercial Fishermen

SANTA BARBARA NONPROFIT CHANNELKEEPER VOLUNTEERS AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMERCIAL FISHING COMMUNITY worked together on April 20th to remove more than fifty lobster traps that had washed ashore between Goleta Beach and More Mesa.

This is the fourth year of shoreline cleanup collaboration between Channelkeeper and the Commercial Fishermen of Santa Barbara. Tidy Seas, another non-profit dedicated to cleaning the coastlines and Channel Islands from trash and marine debris, was also a new partner at this year’s event.

Volunteers pulled the heavy, metal-framed traps from the rocks along the shore and carried them to collection points on the beach. The traps were clipped onto a buoyed rope and hauled through the surf to one of two fishing vessels owned by fishermen Chris Voss and Ray Kennedy.

Fishermen ferried the buoy line to shore by kayak, loaded the traps onboard the vessels, and transported them to Santa Barbara Harbor for proper disposal. This year, in addition to the lobster traps, the team cleared metal fencing, a few bags of trash, construction materials, and two shopping carts from the beach. Approximately 2,500 pounds of debris was removed from this two-mile stretch of beach. www.sbck.org

Glen Annie Golf Club: Irreplaceable Public Amenity or Just another Building Site?

THE GLEN ANNIE GOLF CLUB

IS ONE OF THE JEWELS OF THE SOUTH COAST, providing a wide array of benefits to several cities and the county. Visitors from across the globe love to play golf there. A bit of common sense would dictate a rare recreation site like this needs to be promoted and supported, not demolished.

With this in mind, let's ask the question why would the county rezone this prime amenity and plan to turn it into 1,000 housing units? And, why would the

county overlook the lack of capacity of the surrounding infrastructure, ignore the benefits of open space, as well as change the look and feel of the neighborhood? There are a lot of unanswered questions.

While there is a need for affordable housing for local workers, the strong arm of the state is rushing the process to meet a quota. Again, why would anyone rush to crush important and well developed resources?

Almost all the rezones proposed by the county were reasonable — except

the Glen Annie Golf Club, which would create a huge loss of open space and convention space. That is space which cost millions to develop and would cost even more millions to replace. Adding more population and in the process taking away recreational facilities seems counter productive to creating a place people can enjoy living!

Regardless of the golf club owner's desire to cash in their proverbial chips, our leaders should answer some of these reasonable questions.

The City of Goleta spoke out against this oversized project, which would be located just outside their city, and use city resources and overload the the current transportation plan without compensation. So, why would they and the neighbors to the golf course want this sort of change?

The Glen Annie Golf Club is an unusually beautiful public amenity, deserving of support and subsidy if necessary to continue to serve its unique role in our community.

Why, is always a good question to ask before launching into something new.

2024 UCSB Economic Forecast

By Harlan Green / Special to VOICE

WITH UNEMPLOYMENT DOWN AND TOURISM

STRONG

, the UCSB Economic Forecast Report was unveiled at the Granada Theatre by Professor Peter Rupert, Forecast Project Director.

The overall picture for Santa Barbara County is good—with just 4.2 percent unemployment and population still growing. But downtown Santa Barbara may no longer be the business center it once was, though it is still a main tourist draw.

The chart (right) shows County employment in Leisure and Hospitality far outshining Retail, for instance. The healthcare sector is the largest County employer by far.

Radius Commercial’s Gene Deering, representing REALTORS, broke the bad news with his State Street report, Running of the Bulls—several major buildings lie vacant, and Santa Barbara hasn’t come up with a viable revitalization plan for the downtown.

Rick Caruso, the billionaire owner of Montecito’s Miramar Resort, was there to give advice—his best was to bring more people closer to State Street with residential dwellings and allow a one-lane traffic corridor. And he loves to give shoppers in his huge malls a complete, almost Disney-like shopping experience. Would he reinstall a trolley-line that once existed on State Street, as he has done in one of his malls?

REALTORS have seen the decline of foot traffic on State St. since it was first closed to traffic due to the pandemic, which has the city now grappling with a

COMMUNITY NEWS

Zoo Brew Returns

shortfall of parking fees.

Deering highlighted some good news as well with 78 units of rental housing now going up on the 400 block behind the old Staples building as a possible harbinger of good things yet to come? Those units, he said, translated to 300 people living downtown and that might keep the lights on on State after 5pm.

The vacant Macy’s and Nordstrom buildings are dinosaurs, to no one’s surprise, and have probably done the most to reduce foot traffic on State.

Deering called downtown’s Macy’s building, abandoned in 2017, a “dinosaur,” meaning that the space could not be made compatible with housing units and would need to be torn down. By contrast, he said, the structure and flow of the former Nordstrom’s department store was more amenable to housing. The great in-between — also known as Paseo Nuevo — he said will be key to the future of downtown development.

Housing would bring more life to downtown, in other words, which is currently five percent housing and 95 percent commercial, so Santa Barbara can do much more for housing, as builders have said repeatedly. Peter Lewis the builder of the 78 apartment units, a longtime local builder, said it took four years to get all the approvals for his State St. units. Once upon a time in his earliest days here, it took just two months to obtain project approvals.

It’s time for the city to do more to revitalize State

St., which is still the heart of Santa Barbara. But we mustn’t forget how much economic damage is due to the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns.

It is taking years for cities everywhere to recover from the pandemic, so Santa Barbara’s leaders will require more of our patience because of the time it will take to plan a better future.

Santa Barbara Celebrates 45 Years of Giving with the Hutton Parker Foundation

LOCAL LEADERS GATHERED AT THE CABRILLO PAVILION on Thursday, May 16th to celebrate the impact of the Hutton Parker Foundation on Santa Barbara County.

Over the last 45 years, the Hutton Parker Foundation has undertaken more than $100 million in grantmaking for local nonprofits. Hutton Parker Foundation shared their excitement about many more decades of impact ahead.

“We consider it a privilege to support people and organizations that represent what is best about our community,” said Sue Parker, Executive Vice President of the Hutton Parker Foundation. “We want our grants to help people and make our community stronger. Today we honor those leaders of nonprofits and philanthropy who do just that, through their passion, creativity, and effectiveness.”

The Hutton Parker Foundation was founded in 1979 by Betty Hutton and remains a family led philanthropy to this day. Betty’s niece Sue Parker and her sons Jess and Chris Parker run the Foundation.

More than 837 nonprofits have benefited from Hutton Parker Foundation support.

“Our unique approach of providing nonprofit organizations both cash grants and below market office space was honed over many years by my dad Tom Parker and our previous Executive Director Pam Lewis. We are committed to continuing that approach in the years ahead,” continued Hutton Parker Foundation Vice President Chris Parker.

“When you think about philanthropists who’ve had the most positive impact in our local history, the Hutton Parker Foundation is at the top of that list,” added Ernesto Paredes, Executive Director of Easy Lift Transportation. “The Foundation’s generosity and innovative approach has been transformative for nonprofit organizations and directly benefits tens of thousands of local residents every year.”

Changes for the United Boys & Girls Club

THE UNITED BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY’S agreement to operate the Canon Perdido Street downtown facility will terminate on June 14th, due to lack of payment for more than two years.

Following this termination UBGC endeavors will be to ensure they continue to serve children and families with their Boys & Girls Club programs at their Westside Club.

The United Organization has been operating the Canon Perdido Club under a 2020 operating agreement. According to their release, the Canon Perdido facility retained ownership of the site and control of an endowment and agreed to financially support United in the running of the programs and facility. The termination is due to a lack of payment from the Canon Perdido facility owners since 2021. That lack of payment for more than two years is impacting the overall operations of other Santa Barbara County Clubs that United operates.

UBGC staff are currently reaching out to all of their Cannon Perdido Downtown Club families to ensure awareness and transportation to the Westside Club. www.unitedbg.org

A Death Foretold ~ Navalny

“Navalny has chosen the most dangerous position in the world, running against Putin for the Kremlin.” - CNN

AVALNY is perhaps reminiscent of Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez’s Chronicle of a Death Foretold, which mixes fiction with an actual crime. The documentary sticks to the facts, but the story of Navalny’s August 20, 2020 failed assassination and its investigation is so incredible that it reads like fiction.

From the beginning of the 99-minute film, there’s a certain sense of doom, not just because of the suspenseful music by Marius de Vries and Matt Robertson, but because we all know the eventual ending, as Navalny died this February in an Arctic prison camp.

“Yes, I was very wrong,” he says, again with his charming smile.

Roher doesn’t shy away from the subject, either. The film starts with the director asking, “If you’re killed, what message do you leave to the Russian people?”

There’s humor also behind the Kremlin’s shenanigans, like Putin, incapable of speaking Navalny’s name, saying instead, “that man” or “that character.” Or TV pundits mocking the opposition leader, who, to paraphrase, “says he was poisoned to get attention.” They echo the official Kremlin story that his near-death was caused by “lowered blood sugar levels,” speculating the reasons: taking hallucinogens, being drunk, using cocaine, and “endless homosexuality.”

Several times Navalny claims he’s not afraid because the law is on his side. So it’s left to us to be afraid for him.

Often, the film is funny. But every time his wife Yulia or daughter Dasha get interviewed, it’s heartbreaking.

“To have your dad, an opposition leader, poisoned,” Dasha shares, “we don’t know how, we don’t know when… and then be in a random hospital… it was surreal, it was literally like a book.”

As I sit writing this in Madrid, police car sirens and the rotors of a helicopter high overhead interrupt my thoughts. A caravan of black armored cars zooms by. In one of those vehicles sits another man Putin hates, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, on an official visit to Spain. And I’m reminded that Navalny is real, a father running for the Russian presidency on the promise of ending Russian corruption and the Ukraine war.

I wonder if one of Navalny's guards in jail was kind enough to show him a bootlegged copy of the film that he otherwise would have never seen completed.

Navalny is a thriller, yes. But it’s also a memorial to a man who dared to dream he could bring change to Russia, a legacy carried on now by his wife, Yulia Navalnya, and hundreds of thousands of followers. Will there ever be a Movie Number Two? , perhaps?

TUESDAY, MAY 28TH: Memorial Day events featured flyovers, photos and inspirational speeches at Santa Barbara and Goleta cemetery events. Many attendees wore their uniforms, military hats and shirts.

What’s Going on With Sardines?

SATURDAY, MAY 25TH: Dead sardines wash ashore at Leadbetter Beach by the thousands. Pelicans and sea gulls are gobbling them up. No word on what is causing this along the Santa Barbara coast.

Free Speech?

THURSDAY, MAY 23RD: Free speech or harassment? What this group was doing on State Street in Santa Barbara last weekend, with cameras and reported confrontations has many business owners and downtown customers disturbed. There are many unanswered questions about the purpose but I’ve had many requests to get this out there. Police were also notified.

1st Responders

MONDAY, MAY 27TH: Vehicle over the side. Hwy 154 near Cachuma Lake. Driver out without injuries. Smitty’s towing, CHP on it.

MONDAY, MAY 11TH: No one was hurt inside the store but the 7-Eleven on Calle Real in Goleta was shattered by this vehicle that crashed into the front doors and windows. The driver was taken to Cottage Hospital with a minor injury Thursday afternoon. Santa Barbara County Fire and Sheriff’s Dept. were on the scene.

Whose Inflation is Too High?

By Harlan Green / Special to VOICE

DECLINING INFLATION

HAS STALLED in the first quarter, which is hurting prospects for any Fed rate cuts, and causing consumers to buy less. The inflation rate is currently stuck in the three percent range, though much lower for goods earlier in the supply chain, so large retailers like Walmart and Target are having to cut prices.

Monthly retail sales didn’t increase at all in May, after two consecutive months of 0.8 percent growth and almost three percent annual growth.

their last policy meeting indicated they still had faith price pressures would ease, if only slowly, according to the minutes of the central bank’s April 30-May 1 session.

"Participants ... noted that they continued to expect that inflation would return to two percent over the medium term," the minutes said, but "the disinflation would likely take longer than previously thought."

Economic VOICE

By Harlan Green

Walmart said on May 16th that it has rolled back prices on nearly 7,000 items in its stores, CNN reported, noting deflationary trends in general merchandise.

“Our combination of everyday low prices plus a large number of rollbacks is resonating” with consumers, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said on a call with analysts.

CNN also reported that Target slashed prices on more than 1,500 items, ranging from laundry detergent to cat food to sunscreen, with thousands more price cuts expected over the summer.

It’s a sign that’s made Federal Reserve Governors more hopeful inflation will continue to decline, and prices even begin to fall, rather than continue to rise more slowly.

Federal Reserve officials at

Inflation trends seem to be in the eye of the beholder. Businesses are now seeing much lower inflation, according to recent surveys. Year-ahead inflation expectations had fallen to 2.3 percent in May 2024 from as high as 3.8 percent in March 2022 for businesses, according to the Atlanta Federal Reserve.

Whereas the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Center for Microeconomic Data today released the April 2024 Survey of Consumer Expectations, which went in the opposite direction.

It shows that inflation expectations increased at the short-term and longer-term horizons, while decreasing at the medium-term horizon: to 3.3% from 3.0 percent at the one-year horizon (remaining below its 12-month trailing average of 3.5 percent).

The main culprit seems to be housing prices. “Median home price growth expectations increased to 3.3 percent after remaining unchanged at 3.0 percent for seven consecutive

months. This is the highest reading of the series since July 2022,” said the NY Fed.

Year-ahead consumer commodity price expectations also rose across the board in April for gas, food, medical care, and college education.

Why aren’t consumers seeing the lower inflation expectations of businesses? Target and Walmart are telling us why. Simply put, retail prices are much higher than the raw cost of goods and services charged to businesses for several reasons. There’s the transportation and distribution costs, for starters, and profit margin that retailers must retain to stay in business.

The truth is that consumers are seeing higher costs than businesses and are beginning to rebel by choosing cheaper products. It also refutes an economic maxim about consumer behavior that higher inflation expectations will cause consumers to spend more, not less.

There is some good news for consumers. New-home prices are falling as the supply of new homes has increased.

Sales of newly built, single-family homes in April

fell 4.7 percent to a 634,000 seasonally adjusted annual rate from a downwardly revised reading in March, according to newly released data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau. The pace of new home sales in April is down 7.7 percent from a year earlier.

The median new home sale

price in April was $433,500, down 1.4 percent from March, and up 3.9 percent compared to a year ago. This is because of the increased supply. There’s a 9.1-month supply of new homes for sale.

Dear US Fed Governors, please pay attention to this. Shoppers can act rationally when their pocketbook size is at risk!

Wilderness Spirit Award Brunch

By Kerry Methner / VOICE

IN A JOYFUL CELEBRATION OF CALIFORNIA NATURE ART MUSEUM'S MISSION, the 18th Wilderness Spirit Award Brunch was held May 19th at the Marriot Hotel in Buellton. Community Environmental Council and the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians were honored in as event that included the Museum's inaugural Sustainability Award.

Up first, The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians were honored for their impressive efforts to minimize – or even eliminate – waste from their Casino and Hotel operations. Stacey Otte-Demangate, Executive Director for California Nature Art Museum, presented the Sustainability Award to Director of Sustainability Mark

Funkhouser.

“As the original stewards of this land, our tribe understands the importance of prioritizing sustainability measures and conserving resources at our local businesses,” said Kenneth Kahn, Tribal Chairman for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians said in a release.

"It's very rewarding working for a Tribe that puts sustainability and kind of cares for the environment as a top priority," Funkhouse related as he accepted the award on the Tribe's behalf. He added, "One of the big pieces in our Facilities Department is reduce and reuse. That's focus in our team....

He went on to amaze attendees with some numbers: In 2003 the Casino was producing around eight million pounds of refuse and were recycling around three percent of that. After developing their program that includes four team members who work exclusively with recycling, they now produce about 3.6 million pounds a year and 92.6 percent is recycled. They also are a community service organization and help other groups with this. CNAM is one of those organizations. The Tribe's program also composts, allowing them reduce their waste weight by 75 percent.

Hard but not impossible to follow, OtteDemangate next presented the Wilderness Spirit Award CEC. It was accepted by their

Executive Director, Sigrid Wright.

Each year the Award goes to a person or group who strives to bring awareness to natural places through various platforms. CEC is an organization that most locals know and appreciate. Recognized in large part due to their success in recently creating and opening their HUB facility, as well as for their focus on tackling local climate change issues, training climate change activists, and their commitment to diversity and inclusion in their programming, the timing was perfect.

“We are so proud to present this year’s Wilderness Spirit Award to the Community Environmental Council. With the recent opening of their new Environmental HUB in downtown Santa Barbara, we felt it was the perfect time to honor their many efforts to offer a facility for like-minded groups and individuals to gather and collaborate,” OtteDemangate said in a release. “We admire their outstanding efforts to tackle local climate change concerns, help the region to be more sustainable, and raise awareness through impactful events such as the annual Earth Day Celebration.”

CEC also trained and certified 154 CEC Climate Stewards, equipping everyday individuals to play an active role in their community to advance rapid and equitable solutions to the climate crisis.

Central Coast,” said Wright. “We strongly believe that by embracing fierce hope, taking collective action, and harnessing a proven blueprint that draws on the best of people and nature, we will ensure our region remains a treasure for future generations.”

The Wilderness Spirit Award brunch was sponsored by Schiele Family Foundation, Allan Hancock College, and Louise Clarke and John Carbon and others. All proceeds will support museum art exhibits and educational programs, free school tours and children’s activities, and future installations designed to inspire a love of nature and to encourage advocacy.
