WOMEN WHO RUN BUSINESSES… WHILE PREGNANT

T

he three moms-to-be interviewed here were chosen because they are not only women who work, but they are founders and co-founders of successful businesses in Santa Barbara.

Women today will tell you: it’s hard to be everything to everyone, all the time. There is immense pressure in our western society to wear many hats at once (and look good in all of them too!).

In many ways, it’s such a beautiful thing: Women have earned greater access and opportunity in the professional world than ever before. Many doors are open for women now, and those who walk through them pave the way for future generations.

The questions is, when given the opportunity to wear all the hats, especially for those who truly love to do it, what is it like donning the most primal of them all, that of motherhood?

Maternity leave is also a big

conversation in this country right now – and one that affects men and women alike by the millions. The United States falls far behind most developed countries in the world with regard to paid maternity leave policies.

There are currently 31 countries in the world that provide a year or more of paid maternity leave, typically through government-run insurance programs.

While in California, we are among only four (lucky) states in the U.S. that have paid maternity leave laws. California currently offers a standard six-week paid maternity leave, but about 40 percent of workers fall through the cracks because the law only requires companies with 50 or more employees to comply. That also means that most business owners and entrepreneurs are on their own to make pregnancy work in their individual situations.

The point is, we have room for

2 – 16 JUNE | 2017 |

improvement when it comes to our maternity leave policies in America; this is among the topics of conversation in the three interviews that follow.

KENDALL CLARK, OWNER, THE BAR METHOD SANTA BARBARA Kendall Clark is the owner of a fitness studio called The Bar Method, a national franchise of bar fitness classes.

She leads a team of instructors and staff at the La Cumbre mall location.

Q. When you opened this business just a few years ago, was wanting to become a mother something you considered at that point in your career in the fitness world?

A. Yes. I had been thinking about how owning my own business would affect my lifestyle and the plan to be a mom.

This is part of the reason why I set up a childcare room at the studio and offer classes each day during which childcare is provided. And I certainly plan to bring my baby there! So, yes, incorporating a way to be with my children was definitely a part of my long-term plan in opening the business.

How has being pregnant influenced the way you teach practice?

Well, first it’s important to note that the Bar Method has a huge pre- and

postpartum training program for all teachers, which has been approved

by Bar Method and certified physical therapists. So, as an instructor, I already ...continued p.18

The Capitalist

by Jeff Harding

Jeff Harding is a real estate investor and a writer on economics and finance. He is the former publisher of the Daily Capitalist, a popular economics blog. He is also an adjunct professor at SBCC. He blogs at anIndependentMind.com

The Dispirited Class

B

ankrate.com’s most recent survey on savings said only 41% of Americans had enough savings to cover a $500 or $1,000 unplanned expense. Which means 59% didn’t.

Before you jump off a cliff, this doesn’t mean they can’t pay their bills – many have access to credit in one form or another. And, it doesn’t necessarily mean these people are poor – but they are spending more than they make and are struggling to maintain their lifestyle.

The issue here is not wealth inequality.

There always has been and will be “inequality.” This is about how bad economic policies are hurting Main Street.

The fact that some people are wealthier than most people is not relevant. If the top 1% are living fabulously well, that doesn’t mean they are doing so at the cost of the rest of us. It means they are better at creating wealth and jobs than the rest of us.

The real issue is, are the rest of us better off? That depends on how the economy is doing.

Who is doing well? If you are welleducated, white or Asian, married, and live in large cities or on the coast, you will earn more and be wealthier. At least that’s what the data tell us. If you have a college degree (32% of Americans), you will make 80% more than high school grads. Your poverty rate will be only 4.5% versus 14.3% for high school grads and 27.5% of those who have no high school diploma.

Before we get to those struggling to pay bills, here are some positives: the unemployment rate is low (4.9%), household net worth is at an all-time high, home values have surged, the stock market is stratospheric, there are more college graduates than ever, the homicide rate is the lowest in 50 years, our air is getting cleaner, the rich are getting richer, but so are all other income levels – the middle-class is

getting smaller only because they have moved up to the next income level.

I could go on here, but you get the idea: the big picture is that we’ve never lived in better times. But there are growing, troubling economic and social trends: • Only 62.8% of those of working age are employed, down from the peak of 67.2% in 1997.

17% of children are obese.

• Workers laid off during recessions generally never get back to prerecession wage levels. Data vary, but about 75% have lower wages (15% to 20% less) even after 10 to 20 years. There is also a psychological toll among these workers.

As you can see, much of this distress revolves around the economy. In a robust, growing economy there are more employment opportunities and rising real wages and output. Yes, businesses close and jobs are lost because of competition, technology, and foreign trade, but in a dynamic economy new jobs and opportunities are constantly being created.

credit, artificially low interest rates, and bailouts of essentially failed banks and businesses, they create the seeds for the next ruinous boom/bust cycle.

Add to that a raft of new complex regulations on financial markets and businesses aimed to make politicians look like they have accomplished something in time for the next election.

What they actually have done is create barriers and uncertainty for businesses who wish to invest and expand; the numbers bear this out.

If you are on Wall Street, things look pretty good. But it is the back alleys of Main Street that have borne the brunt of bad economic policies. If you are in your early 40s, you have gone through two major recessions that must have

The fact that some people are wealthier than most is not relevant • For white men, the largest worker cohort, the major cause of unemployment is illness or disability.

• Worker productivity is declining. This is a function of capital investment. In other words, the more businesses invest in machinery, the more each worker can produce. Capital investment has slowed.

• Labor mobility is declining – fewer workers are willing to move to where the jobs are. Economist Tyler Cowan refers to them as the “complacent class,” people who are not driven to change their lives.

• Our public schools are failing our children. High school graduates do not have the skills needed in the workplace. The College Board (which administers the SAT exams) reported that the latest reading comprehension scores were the worst since 1972 and math scores were the lowest since 1999. ACT reported similar findings.

Need I point out that these kids are our best and brightest?

• Obesity rates, related directly to negative health outcomes, have soared.

According to recent studies from the National Institute on Health, 69% of Americans are overweight or obese, which means only 31% have normal body mass indices (BMI); 36% are obese and 6% are extremely obese.

This is what is missing today. We seem to be stuck in a low-growth environment.

From 1950 to 1973, real GDP grew at a healthy 2.5% per year. From 2008 to 2016, it has grown only 1.3% per year.

This is the slowest recovery of the past 11 recessions, despite massive monetary and fiscal stimulation. One must ask why this is so after the greatest economic experts have been put in charge of national economic policy.

The reason companies see fewer opportunities for growth in America is because of the Fed’s monetary policies that cause boom-and-bust business cycles. By bailing out the last recession with a flood of cheap money and

impacted your view of the world, as you realize yours may be the generation that will not do as well as your parents’ generation.

What economist Cowan calls the “complacent class” is to me the “dispirited class,” who rise and fall and fall again on these waves of fake prosperity.

We must question the economic policies that have gotten us here, or we will continue to sink. There are answers but conventional economics doesn’t have them. Our leaders’ unwillingness to change reveals their lack of compassion for the dispirited class they helped create.

Caroline, Yeah: A Concert Journal

6

:30 pm – Brian Wilson, our own acid-washed Beethoven, is touring his misbegotten Pet Sounds album for the last time. The occasion is historic. My gorgeous exgirlfriend (or “wife” in the common argot) and cool hambone kids have given me an early dad’s day gift; an audience with my Pope. Now, ambling up the Bowl’s tarmac hill with the others, I’m struck by how dissimilar I am to other people in my approximate age group, these graying lovebirds. I look at them tenderly, regard them from the perspective of a sympathetic outsider. Surely, I am not one of these?

Once again I find that, in the company of my generation, I am more sprightly and attractive, wittier, warmer of heart, and more obviously vital than these creaky oldsters who comprise my ostensible demographic. Why can’t these poor dears be more like me, with my authentically timeworn leather jacket, hipster spectacles, and confident swagger?

I beam a smile at a couple next to me and they regard me with something like barely disguised pity. What’s up with that? Is it because I’m alone? Or because I look like the wasted corpse of a doomed WWII pilot, still roaming the Earth and shrinking like a dried leaf into his bomber jacket? Note to self: put on a little weight. And buy that wig.

6:36 pm – We’re halfway up! We can do this! There is a little wet bar set up, off to the side of the path, a tastefully lit sleight-of-hand obviously placed there to reward the arduous twominute climb that got us here. “You cool concertgoers must be ready for an urbane cocktail,” the leafy scene seems to say. “Come! We have your Courvoisier right here!” But we don’t want Courvoisier, we want water. We want to live! The adults swarm the helpless little bar like crash survivors falling on an oasis in the Sahara.

Nearby, a 60-something man is parked exhaustedly on a bench, looking out with a baleful expression. Gidget and Moondoggie: Where Art Thou?

6:41 pm – By God, I’m summiting!

One final stretch of cruelly inclined blacktop and I will have reached the broad plaza that abuts the stage. All

around me people are gulping in air, grasping handrails, trudging forward with the fatalist determination of marchers at Corregidor. I’m not one of them. I’m determined to keep my yap shut. If I’m going to gasp, it will be through my nose. Not for me the obvious weakness of the aging. I purse my lips in a show-offy demonstration of pluck. “Hey, look at me. I’m breathing easily through my nose. You don’t see me gasping like an old person.” Anyone coming within earshot will hear what sounds like a locomotive with a busted boiler. That’s me panting through my nose.

6:43 pm – I attain the plaza and weave in and out of hundreds of folks with worried expressions and heaving chests.

Heading for the seats, I bound jauntily up a short flight of stairs and, misjudging the last step, lose my balance and go down on one knee. “Like an unbowed gladiator,” I reflexively think. I glance up at the people walking past. “Look at that,” their expressions seem to say.

“This hobbled loser actually thinks he looks like an unbowed gladiator.”

Waving aside the usher’s extended helping hand, I jump to my feet and plow straight into the back of a lady with a magenta beehive hairdo. “Ooh!” she cries, sounding pleased.

6:48 pm – I find my seat. It separates two couples who are talking animatedly across it. Two handbags have been dumped there. “Uh, hi! I think that’s my seat!” I peep with fake enthusiasm from the row below. They all look at me uneasily. I climb stiffly up into my appointed slot, introduce myself and my cool leather jacket, and silence falls like a blanket of snow.

The stage is gorgeously cluttered with instruments, I see, and in the shadowy wings, stage right, some people are milling officiously about a large guy in a blousy button-down shirt. He is slouched in some sort of reclining chair and looking out at the crowd without expression; a bombed-out Lear poured into his throne and awaiting tonight’s coronation. “I see him! Is that him?” someone behind me hisses excitedly.

Indeed, it is. Pet Sounds is today critically regarded as one of the most ...continued p.25

Citrus-style sign language

Citrus IPAs: The Flavor of Summer Good Bar Special Grapefruit IPA makes a tasty accompaniment to the chaipotlepomegranate ribs with popcorn polenta

Zach Rosen is a Certified Cicerone® and beer educator living in Santa Barbara. He uses his background in chemical engineering and the arts to seek out abstract expressions of beer and discover how beer pairs with life.

O

range juice isn’t just for mimosas.

From the bitter orange peels used in the brewing of witbiers to the lemon soda blended with beer to make a shandy, and especially the ever growing citrus IPA style, citrus fruits have often found their way into beer.

Citrus fruits and beer make a particularly potent combination during the summer. Citrus has a refreshing character that naturally brightens a beer’s flavor and helps highlight its crisp carbonation. Many varieties of hops actually contain some of the same chemical compounds that are found in the essential oils of citrus fruits. This is why IPAs often have aromas that are reminiscent of grapefruit, orange, and

other citrus fruits. Many of the brewers have started adding different parts of citrus fruits as a way to enhance this natural citrus character of hops, and these days one of the most popular beer trends are citrus IPAs. The zest or peel of the fruit is most often used, though some brewers will use the fruit juice as well. Usually, the only part of citrus fruit that is not used is the pith (that white part between the peel and the fruit) as it contains a harsh, astringent flavor. The aromatics found in citrus peels help bulk up the hop aromas, and when the actual fruit is used the acidity helps sharpen the malt character in a beer. Citrus peel is normally added during the final stages

Village Pool Supply

of brewing where the hot liquid can extract the essential oils from the peel.

Citrus peels are not added during the boiling period of the brewing process because the vigor of boiling liquid will push off the aromatic compounds and run the risk of extracting tannin from the peel. Instead, the fruit peels are often added just after the heat has been turned off on the boiling kettle.

A SPECIAL GRAPEFRUIT BREW At M. Special Brewing Co., they have been experimenting with a whole mélange of different flavors, including citrus fruits. In their cask series, brewer and co-owner Josh Ellis has been seeing how a variety of ingredients such as raspberries, mangoes, blueberries, and even cucumbers, combine with the flavors of their base beers. Of the different ingredients they experimented with, grapefruit and coffee grabbed their attention most (albeit not in the same beer). They just packaged a coffee pale ale called the Greenstar Special in kegs, so expect to see it circulating around the area in the next week or two.

While attending the Craft Brewers Conference in Philadelphia in 2016, Josh met someone who was producing a variety of fruit emulsions for brewing.

The emulsions are all-natural, using agar and honey as an emulsifying agent.

He loved the flavor of their grapefruit emulsion and began experimenting with it in his beers.

While these flavor experiments have all been single batches, Josh recently had a chance to use the grapefruit emulsion on a larger scale for the Good Bar Special Grapefruit IPA, a collaboration between The Goodland hotel in Goleta and M. Special. His first day on the job, Aaron Grinnell, general manager of The Goodland, attended an employee party at M. Special. He had always been a huge IPA fan and was impressed by M. Special’s lineup.

Being close neighbors, the brewery seemed like the perfect opportunity to design something special for the hotel.

The Goodland and M. Special staff began discussing the possibility of a collaboration brew and wanted to craft a beer that was the perfect fit to drink poolside. Josh tasted them on several of the experimental beers, but it was the grapefruit character that seemed like the ideal poolside companion.

For the Good Bar Special Grapefruit IPA, Josh uses their Greatland Special IPA as a base beer and then blends it with the grapefruit emulsion in the tank before kegging the brew. The finished beer has a bright fruit aroma of ruby red grapefruits with notes of Meyer lemons, mango, and lime peel coming from the hops. The beer is unfiltered and uses a touch of malted white wheat to give it a firmer body with a hint of sweetness that still allows the fruit character to shine. In addition to being served at the brewery, the beer is available at both the Outpost and Good Bar located inside The Goodland.

If feeling peckish while at the hotel, the brew goes particularly well with

their pork ribs. The ribs come beautifully charred with meat that falls easily off the bone. A chipotle-pomegranate glaze slathered on the ribs complements the fruitiness of the beer while pickled onions and chives brighten the hop aromas. They even have a cocktail called Easy Like Sunday Morning which blends the beer with Espolon Reposado tequila, Aperol, Ancho Chile, and Fresh Lime. Since introducing the Good Bar Special at the hotel, it has become their number-one selling beer and it is definitely worth a visit.

CITRUS IN ALL ITS FORMS At Telegraph Brewing Co., citrus has found its way into a good amount of their brews. Brewer Patrick Ceriale notes that the Belgian yeast used in the majority of Telegraph’s brews works particularly well with citrus flavors, and since many of the hops they use contain these characters as well, adding citrus is a good way of bumping up these flavors.

Most of their citrus-containing beers use only the peels. For example, White Ale uses orange peel and Buellton Silent Partner is brewed with Meyer lemon peels.

However, some of their beers take the citrus one step further. Recently, they brewed a Blood Orange White Ale

which had the blood-orange juice added into the beer post-fermentation. This means that the juice does not ferment out and adds a subtle sweetness to the brew. The blood oranges brings out the wheat character a bit more and embraces the soft body of the beer.

One of Telegraph’s year-round brews, Goodland Orange Pale Ale, uses a particularly unique technique. The whole fruit is puréed in a food processor and then added to the fermenter. This means that the sugars in the juice will ferment out, contributing a drier character to the finished beer.

In this case, the pith is added to the beer but since the fruit purée is added to cold liquid inside the fermenter, a minimal amount of astringency is extracted and the pith only contributes a gentle bitterness to the beer. Goodland Orange Pale Ale is made year-round, which means that the variety of orange changes depending on the season.

Sometimes the beer will contain Valencia oranges, and sometimes it will be navels or other varieties. This change in orange type results in a fruit character that is subtly different between each batch. While the oranges may change with each season, the Goodland Orange Pale Ale, or any citrus IPA, usually tastes best during summer.

We Could Have Had More Mozart

C

onsider what Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s music has meant to the world. Some of the most enduring symphonies and operas in history.

Melodies that seem timeless. The sheer genius of his compositions and the prolific output of his far-too-short life.

Then consider that he might not have been even the most talented member of his immediate family.

Turns out that Mozart had an older sister named Maria Anna Walburga Ignatia Mozart, who went by Nannerl.

Like Wolfgang, Nannerl was also a child prodigy and was sent by their ambitious father Leopold to perform alongside her brother throughout Europe, where she received even greater acclaim than he did.

But this was the 1700s, and a woman without means who had any notions of getting married didn’t attempt careers as a composer and pianist. So Nannerl was forced to give up her dreams as an artist at 18, and was instead kept at home in deference to the social norms, as her father feared no one would woo her if she kept at the keyboards. So, while Wolfgang became one of the most famous and beloved composers in classical music history, Nannerl’s own works – which some said were even more brilliant at the same age – were lost. The references to her talent only show up in letters exchanges between her brother, father, and mother.

The information gleaned from those same documents comprise the backbone of The Other Mozart, a one-woman show written, produced, and performed by Sylvia Milo, a classically trained pianist and violinist who had never heard of Nannerl before she visited the Mozart Museum in Vienna and was struck by the forgotten history.

Milo – whose previous roles include Bob Dylan in the Obie-winning The West Village Fragments and the title role in an all-female version of Hamlet, which she also adapted and directed – spent more than a year researching and writing the play, and then compiled the team to put it into production. Milo traces Nannerl’s life from on top of and within an 18-foot dress that serves as both playground and prison, pulling out props as necessary to further the story, while the soundtrack consists of both period music (including

Wolfgang’s) and a modern score created by composers of the Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center.

The Other Mozart earned Milo the New York Innovative Theatre Award for Outstanding Solo Performance when it ran Off-Broadway. Now, the work is making its area debut at the Rubicon Theatre in Ventura with the bulk of its run during the current fortnight, opening on Saturday, June 3, and closing Sunday, June 18.

Pas de Deux Play

W

e’ve got a one-woman show and a three-character staged reading. So naturally, there needs to be one opening this week that fits between. That would be Allan Knee’s Syncopation, a twoperson play that blends drama and dance in a story of an unlikely romance between a meat packer and a seamstress.

The bored butcher and the shy seamstress get together through a classified ad, and after enrolling in a series of dance lessons find that each tango and foxtrot draws them closer together, setting off an unlikely romance.

Being that the play is produced

by Ensemble Theatre Company (ETC), which just keeps upping its professionalism and raising the bar with each succeeding production, Syncopation won’t fake the dancing.

Indeed, the production is a collaboration with State Street Ballet (SSB) and features choreography by the company’s 16-year-veteran resident dance creator, William Soleau. He’s making his SSB debut, as is director Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill, who is the producing artistic director of the awardwinning Capital Rep Theatre in Albany, New York. Her direction of Syncopation at the Merrimack Repertory Theatre was lauded for its “flawless direction, inventive choreography, and creative design across the board” by Broadway World.

Portraying the unlikely couple are Zander Meisner, a veteran of the national tours of Once and Annie, and Sara Brophy, who has played on Broadway in Amazing Grace, OffBroadway in Iron Curtain, and has traveled across the United States as Lola in the national tour of Damn Yankees!

The ETC season closing show runs June

8 – June 25 at the New Vic Theatre, 33 West Victoria Street. Call 965-5400 or visit www.etcsb.org.

Look, MAW! I’m 70!

W

e’re not going to take up a ton of space to talk about the Music Academy of the West’s Summer Festival, because if you love classical music, chances are you already have your tickets lined up, and if you don’t go for it, you won’t care. Although that would be a mistake, because classical music could barely be more accessible – both financially and programmingwise – than the eight-week extravaganza that gets going on Monday, June 12.

Already one of the premier festivals of the season, MAW has amped up the wattage for the big 70th anniversary, with highlights including a symphony concert at SBCC’s stadium for which Alan Gilbert will lead the New York Philharmonic in the final performance of his eight-year tenure with the orchestra (as well as the largest classical music event in the history of Santa Barbara).

There are also 10 world and West Coast premieres, of which six are new Academy commissions; some serious star power via Matthew Aucoin, Martin Beaver, Stephen Hough, and Renée Fleming, to name just a few; and a first-of-its-kind Classical Evolution/ Revolution Conference. All in all, that’s more than 200 masterclasses, recitals, performances, and events right here in town, many of which are free or at low cost. Find out more than you might realize you actually want to know on the festival’s just revamped and revitalized website at www.musicacademy.org.

Holy Harmony

T

he Trinity Backstage Acoustic Concert Series used to take place once a month, like both Sings Like Hell and the Song Tree Concert Series.

The latter is no longer, having gone defunct a few years back, while Sings is still doing swimmingly, rounding the corner on its 20th anniversary, and about 250 shows. Trinity Backstage split the difference, opting several years ago to cut back to quarterly concert, which makes those shows all the more special for their rarity. The charm is still there, an open environment,

tables and chairs, even the location in a church, all in all an honest-to-goodness coffeehouse concert (with real coffee brewed in urns and everything) and home-baked treats to enjoy during the break.

The pre-summer show is a series special known as The Harmony All Stars, which features Trinity Backstage co-founders Doug Clegg and Kate Wallace joined by two of their cherished colleagues, singersongwriters Jimmy McVay from Los Angeles and Caren Armstrong from the Bay Area. The fulsome foursome will share songs, both originals and cover tunes, that fix the focus on fine harmony singing – and the audience is even invited to sing along on a few.

Tickets are still just $10 for the twohour show that begins at 8 pm on Saturday, June 10, at Trinity Episcopal Church, 1500 State St. Call 962.2970 or visit www.trinitybackstage.com.

Pennies for Penny

T

here’s yet another singer-songwriter series that takes place monthly in a church – and is doing just fine, thank you. The Friday, June 9, show is a special one, a fundraiser for the great and egregiously unsung singer-songwriter Penny Nichols.

As a performer, Nichols has shared the stage with the likes of Jackson Browne, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Linda Ronstadt, and many more, but is even better known in these parts as the founder of Summersongs, a songwriter’s camp that now has two weeklong events here on the Central Coast, as well as one back East in upstate New York. Many of our local folkies have honed their craft at the camps.

Nichols is facing a return of the breast cancer that was first diagnosed 12 years ago and needs help to defray the costs of a clinical trial for a new cancer-fighting treatment. A rousing roster of Cambridge Drive regulars and others, including Susan Marie Reeves, Ed Tree, Rebecca Troon, Dale LaDuke, Jo Nita Beede, David West, Severin Browne, Arturo Tello, Teresa Turdury, and Mike Mullins, will be performing at the June 9 concert, both raising funds and building a community of support for Nichols, who has appeared at the series several times herself. Tickets are set at the normal donation of $12 with reservations and $15 without, plus whatever other donations you might feel inclined to offer. Show time is 7:30 pm at Cambridge Drive Community Church, 550 Cambridge Drive, Goleta. Call 964-0436 or visit www.cambridgedrivechurch.org.

TAKE ME TO FUNKY TOWN

I

had my faith in the Santa Barbara art scene restored last weekend after several months of ordinariness.

Maybe it’s the summer vibes. If you missed the Funk Zone Art Walk, let me just give you the eyewitness report: huge crowds from the Arts Fund on outward, including plenty of milling about at the Green House across the street, music and laughter everywhere, all ending at Gone Gallery for Skye Gwilliam and Dari Mos’s opening documenting their sojourn in Paris.

That explosion of photography and street art later turned out to be the backdrop for a night of music ending with Carp groove rockers Afishnsea.

“Mon dieu!” exclaimed some out of town developers who put their condo plans on hold due to the power of art and hightailed it back to whoknows-where (supposedly, not factchecked). Thanks to all involved in keeping the funk in the Funk Zone…

for now.

Now, onto the arts about town!

L.A. PLAYS ITSELF

As Santa Barbara always hopes to bring up Los Angelenos for their dólares turísticos, Sullivan Goss (11 E. Anapamu) hopes locals will get a taste of what is turning out to be America’s major art city.

“L.A. in S.B.” is a spelunking into the gallery’s inventory to explore the history of Los Angeles art, from its early plein-air

Impressionism to the Cool School of the 1950s, and the burst of art-related jobs that came with the film industry. Artists in this show include Anders Aldrin, Edgar Ewing, Lorser Feitelson, Anya Fisher, Richard Haines, Arthur Hazard, Richmond Kelsey, Dan Lutz, Nell Brooker Mayhew, Ben Messick, Bentley Schaad, Dorothy Sklar, Jean Swiggett, and Irv Wyner. Through July 30.

DIAMANT IN THE ROUGH

David Diamant keeps pushing the boundaries of his own art, exploring the properties of Plexiglas and creating layered works that float off the canvas.

He’s got a batch of new work up at the Los Olivos General Store (2900 Grand Avenue, Los Olivos) along with photographer Robbie Kaye’s recent work. It’s a two-fer! And it runs for four

FUTURE ARTISTS OF AMERICA

There’s still time – albeit two days– to catch UCSB’s MFA graduate show, Past Is Prologue, which focuses on six grads doing fantastic work. Yumiko Glover’s work has shown downtown already at MCA, and Scotty Wagner brought his performance The Trial Child to SBCAST a few months ago. The other four should be on your radar immediately, including Rose Briccetti, Marcos Christodoulou, Sunny Samuel, and Peter Sowinski. Until Sunday, June 4, at the AD&A Museum on campus.

CHEESY SPOOFS

Which reminds me of one show I saw last Friday, which was Sol Hill’s latest work at his studio at 111-C Santa Barbara.

Hill has taken the bigly words of Donald Trump, spelled them out in his own handwriting font, covered them in fake gold, and placed them on squares covered in crushed Cheetos and acrylic. It’s absurd, but we live in absurd times. Profits from the show, called The Best Art! I Guarantee It! go to various non-profits such as the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, and others.

Through June and possibly beyond.

TRIP OUT TO THE SHOW

months, allowing you to make it part of your next sojourn up to that bumpin’ lil’ town.

TAKE ME OUT

The Slingshot Gallery (220 W. Canon Perdido) shows incredible work by some of Santa Barbara’s hardestproducing artists, who just happen to be developmentally disabled. “Boys of Summer” – still up after the opening on First Thursday – features Paul Weber’s baseball-themed art. But any day you care to visit there are plenty of artists to meet and their work to explore. Put it on your must-see list.

The current show at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art (1130 State St.) called “You Are Going on Trip” is indeed an out-of-body experience. Curated by independent writer Michael Duncan, this is a deep dive into the museum’s collection of modern and contemporary prints and he has surfaced with some remarkable finds, pretty much all of which I haven’t seen before. (But what do I know?) I was delighted to see unfamiliar Bruce Conner, Max Ernst, James Rosenquist, and George Tooker works, while also being introduced to some lesser-known names. The whole exhibit is a colorful journey into the varied world of printmaking. The only bummer is that there is no exhibition book to accompany the show (insert sad emoji here). Through August 20.

...continued from p.5

have a lot of great tools for staying safe and strong while still practicing throughout my pregnancy. I see women come right back (to Bar Method) after having a baby – some of them look as if they hadn’t even been pregnant! I have felt great throughout my pregnancy, and I know that staying active and physical has a lot to do with how great I feel. I’ve been able to maintain my flexibility, endurance, and agility, but all with lowimpact exercise. That has been key.

Do you think that being a business owner makes it any harder to find worklife balance than, say, working a regular 9-to-5?

I think that every woman just has to find what’s right for her and her family.

Part of my decision to leave the fashion world in L.A. and enter the wellness industry was because I knew I wanted to have time to be with my family and to stay physically fit – the long hours in my previous career would have made it hard to find the work-life balance I desired.

My parents set a great example for me, being active and healthy. My mom had been in the fitness industry my whole life and was actually a competitive aerobics instructor. I learned early on that staying fit was just what you did. The bottom line is that I want to live a healthy lifestyle and be a good example for my kids.

NORAH EDDY, CO-FOUNDER, SALTY GIRL SEAFOOD Co-founder of a sustainable seafood start-up company based here in Santa Barbara, Norah Eddy talks about what it’s been like for her business, her team, and her partnership as she prepares for motherhood, all while running an environmentally impactful start-up that she and her team have poured heart and soul into.

Q. What were some of your first thoughts regarding your professional life after finding out you were pregnant?

A. I was honestly afraid of some of the reactions I thought people might have to me being pregnant. I was afraid that my team, our advisors, and investors might react negatively to the news. I felt a lot of pressure to not let my team down and wasn’t sure what pregnancy would mean

How have you and your husband worked together through this new transition, as you prepare to become first-time parents?

My husband has always been super supportive of my career and a huge advocate for Salty Girl all along. I am so lucky. He has been a rock for me throughout this whole process and supported me through every decision.

His partnership has given me a lot of confidence and assurance that no matter what decisions I make professionally, we can figure it out and work together.

JENNY SCHATZLE, OWNER, THE JENNY SCHATZLE PROGRAM Jenny Schatzle is the founder of one of Santa Barbara’s most popular and successful workout programs. We talked about some of the challenges and insights that she has experienced being a woman in the public eye who so many look up to and rely upon, while preparing to be a mother of not one, but two, for the first time.

for the immediate future of Salty Girl Seafood. The funny thing is though, that all along the way, I have been met with nothing but support and positivity, so that has been really awesome and a welcome surprise!

What has been one of the more challenging aspects for you as a business owner and point-person while being pregnant?

Slowing down has been the hardest part. I am used to being very active; I’ve always been athletic, and certainly since launching our company my schedule has been very full. But being pregnant has definitely forced me to slow down and rest more, and just go through my day at a different pace than I am used to. I definitely had to get over feeling guilty about needing to take breaks and ask for more support from my team. These past 7 to 8 months have taught me so much about prioritizing what is truly important right now.

Q. How has it been working in a very physical, high-intensity environment while being (now very) pregnant with twins?

A. I’ve had to let go of guilt and shame about taking breaks. As women, we think that, to be successful we just have to be going all the time – that the busier we are, the more successful we are – when actually, taking care of ourselves and taking downtime is what makes us our best. As a business owner, you have this fear that if you aren’t there all the time and giving 100% that something is going to fail. I’ve come to realize that just isn’t true.

Being the go-to person for the business and the brand is a big role; what has this process been like for you and your team?

I am very lucky: I have amazing staff and I’ve surrounded myself with incredible people – so I no longer feel guilty when I need to leave and take a break. It is also an important business lesson to allow opportunity for staff to grow – if I’m there all the time, that opportunity for them isn’t there as much. The other thing that I believe so strongly is: you are who you surround yourself with. My staff are also my friends, and it’s really important to create a culture of strong like-minded people.

What have been some of the fears or challenges that have come up?

I’m definitely not ashamed to say that I have a fear of failure – with anything.

But again, I am a huge advocate of selfcare. Taking time for your self every day is actually going to make your business better, it’s going to make your home life better, and all of your relationships

better. Because when you are at your best, the people around you are at their best.

Thoughts on the standard 6-week paid maternity leave in California?

I think it’s bananas! Being pregnant and having a 9 to 5 job is really hard for women. I mean, you are building a human being! I believe paid maternity leave should be longer and you shouldn’t be punished for having a child. That said, I do believe that women can do and have it all: I believe you can be super-successful in your professional career and raise amazing kids. I don’t think women have to choose between the two. But it requires taking care of yourself.

What advice could you give to other women business owners who are considering starting families or who are already grappling with the balance of being a new mom?

Well, first of all, I think we should stop judging women for how they want to do it. If you want to be a stay-at-home mom, high fives and hugs to you; if you want to go back to work, do it! You get to do what you want to do. Be an activist for your own family; do what works for you. I think women really need to support one another in those decisions.

Thank you to Kendall, Norah, and Jenny, for your honesty and insight on what may be a lesser talked-about but hugely important subject for so many women today.

hen buyers are looking in the 93108 ZIP code, the majority of homes in that area fall within the boundaries of the Montecito Union School District (MUS) and the Cold Spring School District (CSS). With over twice as many students, MUS is the larger school, and has a larger district, more expansive campus, and a stellar reputation of excellence.

What many might not realize is that Cold Spring School is also a toprated California Distinguished School, scoring 10/10 on the GreatSchools rating charts and boasting similar accolades to Montecito Union. With only 170 students, a charming campus in the foothills of Montecito, and uberinvolved parents, CSS is an excellent alternative to MUS. With a new, highly regarded superintendent in place for the next school year, and major campus improvements in the works, the school will no doubt continue on its path of quiet excellence.

The region within the CSS district boundaries include neighborhoods north and south of Sycamore Canyon on the western end of Montecito, as well as the areas surrounding Westmont College, the Pepper Hill area, and portions of Eucalyptus Hill. The southern area of the district extends all the way down to Hermosillo/Coast Village roads.

Within the school district, there are 36 single-family homes on the market (three of those are in escrow). Ranging in price from $1,195,000 to $26,750,000, the area boasts a wide variety of price points, from smaller, more modest homes, to grand, expansive estates.

Here are a few of my top picks from the Cold Spring School District area, listed by price:

with Mark Léisuré

Mark spends much of his time wandering Santa Barbara and environs, enjoying the simple things that come his way.

A show here, a benefit there, he is generally out and about and typically has a good time. He says that he writes “when he feels the urge” and doesn’t want his identity known for fear of an experience that is “less than authentic.” So he remains at large, roaming the town, having fun. Be warned.

Eggs-act-ly

E

laine Gale’s one-woman show One Good Egg, which had its world premiere via a sold-out, four-show weekend last month at Center Stage, is a fun and funny and sometimes fiendishly clever but mostly hearth-wrenching self-exposé. The journey through Gale’s attempts to forge a family with a former cable guy meets a lot of dead ends, as the couple struggle to become pregnant.

The writer-educator-actress who moved to Santa Barbara just two years ago takes us through her experiences with Western fertility treatments, Eastern medicine, and finally in vitro fertilization, only to lose two babies before birth. The skill comes in placing the trials in the context of her upbringing and outlook.

But the biggest trial was coping with her husband’s affair, which tore apart what had seemed to be a strong marriage. The resulting turmoil took up most of the second half of the

75-minute show. Fortunately, the struggles led to a path of further selfdiscovery, including the recognition that a “family” doesn’t have to include children, and, finally, reconciliation and deeper connection with her mate. Gale’s bold and brave willingness to share such personal challenges and her dedication to transparency had an even sharper edge, via the fact that said husband was in the front row in a house full of friends and colleagues – many of whom were hearing the tale for the first time – on the final night. The chills from witnessing the real-life people being talked about in the play gave it extra poignancy.

GRIN AND HEAR IT Aside from sporting the coolest name in classical music, Roomful of Teeth also boasts some fine pipes, as well as a truly innovative approach to a cappella ensemble singing. At a Hahn Hall concert

Subterranean termites and drywood termites are two different species and must undergo different pest-control treatments. Pest control technicians have the expertise to distinguish between termite species and to know how best to deal with different kinds of termite infestations.

in late April that served as the octet’s Santa Barbara debut after a memorable appearance at last year’s Ojai Festival, the highlight was undoubtedly “Partita for 8 Voices”, composed by Roomful’s own Caroline Shaw, which put together many of the group’s vocal acrobatics, from throat singing to breathy gasps and repetitive short-spoken phrases. If you weren’t witnessing it in person, it would be hard to believe they produce all those sounds – which elsewhere included yodeling, beat boxing, and more – just by their own voices, but it comes off as serious classical music (well, lighthearted might be a better descriptor) and never remotely as a gimmick. Bring ‘em back, soon, please.

TO HALE AND BACK The next installment of the Go To Hale Film Series gets underway at the Lobero on Friday, June 16, with the return of Quips & Clips. The irrepressible rock ‘n roll fan and music lover Hale Milgrim – whose official music biz career concluded with a stint as president of Capitol Records – is putting on his fifth event, All HALE! Rock ‘n Roll, the title of which we’re surmising is a tribute to the late legend Chuck Berry, who died in March. Milgrim’s carefully curated evening of film and fable drawn directly from his own extensive archives will include screen time and commentary about – okay, we’ll leave it as the press release puts it, but for fun and because maybe there are legal requirements – The Quarrymen, Glimmer Twins, You Two, YNSC, Jah Bob, CBerry, and The Warlocks. But Milgrim’s almost messianic enthusiasm is reason enough to go.

This second full series also features Neil Finn & Friends’s 7 Worlds Collide/The Sun Came Out on Friday, August 11, and Bill Graham… His Friends and his Enemies “Fillmore: The Last Days” on Friday, October 20. In keeping with Milgrim’s quirkiness, shows begin at 6:57 pm sharp, and it’s general admission, so you might want to come around 6:03 to secure seats and enjoy pre-show refreshments, auction, memorabilia for sale, and other fun stuff from Lobero LIVE and KTYD on the Lobero’s Esplanade.

are $17.50; series tickets go for $39, or $75 for special “I’m with the Band” passes, which include seats in the VIP Reserved Section and a donation. As always, all proceeds benefit the Lobero’s live music programs.

LONG LIVE LIVE OAK Long before the Live Oak Campgrounds became the home of the springtime Lucidity Festival and the new entry of Starry Nites this winter, it’s served as the annual host of the music festival that bears its name. But while both Lucidity and Starry Nites might be vacating the premises in the future, Live Oak keeps plugging along, offering a fine blend of roots music and beyond on two stages, plus plenty of the unplugged stuff in campsite jams.

On tap this year are lots of acts we’re familiar with in Santa Barbara through appearances at SOhO or Sings Like Hell or status as local residents, including French accordionist Jessica Fichot, 19-piece retro New Orleans-themed orchestra and cabaret act Vaud and the Villains, Grateful Dead-associated guitarist Jackie Greene, and surf groover Donavon Frankenreiter, plus Santa Barbara’s good-time blues ambassadors Tom Ball and Kenny Sultan, who hold down a weekly Sunday gig at Cold Spring Tavern halfway up the San Marcos Pass.

But it’s still well worth the trip the extra five miles or so to not only see acts you know and love and those you haven’t yet discovered, but also for the full festival experience, which Live Oak does exceedingly well. The created community always seems to be sensitive to and respectful of each other, and offers both open spaces or the opportunity to mix it up on the dance floor under the oaks. The fest also features the wonderful policy that if you’re not in your lowback lawn chair out in front of the main stage, someone else can be. I mean, they were into the sharing economy while the creators of Uber and Airbnb were still toddlers. Good stuff. Get all the details on the acts, prices for passes and day tickets, camping information, and more on the June 16-18 festival on the website at www.liveoakfest.org.

Real Estate Ownership around the World

M

ost of us don’t think twice about the process for owning real estate in our own country. If you want to, you have the right to, whether a U.S. citizen, buy any sort of real estate and hold your rights to it and its permitted use for as long as you live.

These rights can include the resources within and below the land. Think of oil, gold, and other valuable minerals. Then you have the right to pass such ownership on to whomever you wish after you are gone. Not necessarily so, elsewhere in the world.

Ownership right of land around the world varies as much as do languages and culture. For example, unlike in the United States, foreign investors are not allowed to buy land in the People’s Republic of China. Nor are Chinese citizens allowed to buy land. The land in China belongs to the state and the collectives. Yes, they still have collective farms in communist China.

To make use of the state-owned land, Chinese citizens, and others, must apply for land use rights. The land user only obtains the right to use the land. And, only for a specified period of years. These rights are set out in a contract for grant of land use rights.

These rights are obtained from the government authorities through agreement, tender of money, or auction. A land grant contract must be entered between the land user and the land administration department of the people’s government at the municipal or county level. The land grant contract is for a specified term of years.

China lacks a unified procedure for registration of land-use rights. Chinese Property Law provides only a general guideline for the recording of land use contracts. So, one can imagine the opportunity for corruption in the administration of these contracts.

There are four basic urban land use rights that can be obtained: 1. Land for residential purposes is for a term of 70 years.

2. Industrial purposes are for 50 years.

3. Educational, scientific, health care, or sports is 50 years.

4. Commercial, tourism, or recreational purposes is 40 years.

I can only imagine the discussions (arguments) by the state-run committee that came up with these terms, which are set out in the enactment of the Property Law of 2007. It only took them 14 years of debate to settle it.

However, these state granted land-use rights can be tenuous. The granting of a land use contract comes with requirement that the user not harm the public interest, or the legitimate rights and interests of others.

The Chinese constitution gives the state the right to expropriate (a fancy word for seize) the contracted land use rights of a holder of such rights, if the state finds the land use has hurt the public interest or harmed the legitimate rights and interests of others. Of course, the definition of “public interest” is deliberately vague.

However, the Land Administrative Law sets out five situations wherein land use rights can be withdrawn: 1. Public Interests 2. Renovation of old towns 3. Expiration of land use terms without renewal 4. Dissolution of holder of allocated land use rights (e.g., corporations) 5. Termination of use of public infrastructure.

The good news is the holder of these rights is entitled to “appropriate compensation” in the first two on the above list. Since the state owns the land in the first place, compensation is not for the loss of land use, but for any private property on the land that is lost – such as a building the land user has constructed.

All this sounds onerous for the average Chinese citizen to venture into the contracted use of land for profit and the betterment of their lives. But, think of our own laws. Eminent Domain, the constitutional right of our government to seize (expropriate) land for the public good, has been around since our founding.

However, in 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to more broadly define the scope of our Eminent Domain laws. It held that the public interest, however loosely defined, was adequate reason for government to take privately owned real estate for public use. Or, to even put that land into the private ownership of others.

Our government seizure laws are now interpreted similarly to those of Communist China.

Enjoy that Santa Barbara sunshine!

Although Bryan mostly writes on his nature endeavors, over the past few years he has also begun to explore playwriting.

While in Santa Barbara, Bryan was soon sucked into the world of Fishbon, the local non-profit art incubator, and its many notorious theme parties.

When Fishbon co-founder and resident playwright, Clay Bodine, left to establish Fishbon Del Sur in Ecuador, there was a gap left in the play department and Bryan stepped in to fill this void.

From a love story between venereal diseases to imagining an older, rundown (and drugged out) Rainbow Brite (complete with rabid Care Bears), his plays have brought fun twists to the wacky themes that accompany many of the Fishbon events. Recently, Bryan organized Conspiratorium. This small immersive theater event revolved around secret agencies and dystopian society where actors playing different characters were integrated into the crowd. Rebels would get audience members involved in secret missions, and government agents would take people away for interrogation. Want a drink? First, you had to find someone to forge papers for you. The evening was completed with DJs and a burlesque performance. The experimental theater event was well-received and there will be a modified, second iteration of Conspiratorium happening in late July at Fishbon.

There is more than one way to travel. Whether it is being lost along a ridgeline or just in the words of fantasy, travel can occur both by the body or the mind. Once wanderlust, always wanderlust.

brilliant American musical efforts of the 20th century, and the current extended tour is its last live iteration forever.

Wilson, and every disturbing facet of him, has long since been enshrined as American Pop’s damaged genius, the brilliant but broken G*d of the Lost California Dream. On that front, he doesn’t disappoint tonight.

7:03 pm – The lights dim, the Bowl erupts in an unmediated, seamless roar, the crowd stands and applauds in an attitude of loving homage and respect. Hobbling, uncertain Brian is helped downstage by an assistant, who parks him behind what may be a prop baby grand, a white one. Brian Wilson says a few scarcely decipherable words, so muffled and slurred the crowd is momentarily hushed, and the band launches into “California Girls” to prime the pump. Thousands of former high schoolers begin spontaneously doing that middle-aged concert dance move that looks like a bear being tased. The elvin Al Jardine is down there playing guitar and singing in a light-brown leisure suit, the only other original Beach Boy on the stage. He seems to look with loving bemusement at Brian throughout the show. The third time Wilson says, “Meet my

friend Al Jardine!”, Al shakes his head and is heard to murmur with a laugh, “Unbelievable!”

9:30 pm – Wilson’s unmoving, sneakered feet have drawn my attention through the whole of the show. No matter the tempo of the song being performed or the frenzy of the crowd, those feet have not moved. And the piano has no sustain pedal. The crowd

stars down out of the heavens tonight.

Brian has done his duty, tunelessly barking a number of lead vocals, the high glissando falsetto notes being deftly inserted by Jardine’s kid, a burly darkhaired guy in black. When Brian sings “In My Room”, the heart melts, this unmoored 75 year-old man mouthing the sentiments of his pre-cataclysm teen self – a shy, scared kid whose bedroom was once refuge enough.

Guard rifle barrels. They did a lot of deep staring, just not at cell phones. Later, they painfully divested themselves of their black lights, Peter Max posters, and revolutionary blueprints as through an ongoing and bittersweet garage sale. They have grown, yeah. Their earned and common sense is on parade as they clear the stands and shuffle home in khakis and sensible shoes. ”I brought

Nearby, a 60-something man is parked exhaustedly on a bench, looking out with a baleful expression. Gidget and Moondoggie: Where Art Thou? responds predictably to the old tunes such as “Help Me Rhonda” and “Fun, Fun, Fun” and to “Barbara Ann” – a song whose composition tops the list of historical tragedies I would use my time-travel machine to prevent.

The front-to-back and note-perfect performance of the legendary Pet Sounds album, though, is largely met tonight by the same quizzical expressions that greeted the tracks on their delivery to a pissed-off Capital Records back in 1966. Never mind. “God Only Knows” and “Caroline, No” especially, bring the

9:38 pm – The show is over, requisite encore and all. Brian assumes his place in the lineup of musicians in front of the drum riser, takes an expressionless bow, and they all shuffle off, waving.

The Bowl lights come up and 4,500 older concertgoers stand painfully and stretch.

COMING UP FOR AIR

Flounder has a bit of a natural singing voice. When belting it out, our guppy has got some pipes that can carry a tune.

Again, did I mention, news to us? (I am still completely convinced children are put in our lives to continually remind us that you never know what will come behind curtain #2 or #3 or #4.)

Congratulations to The Little Mermaid’s cast! (photo by Teresa Pietsch)

“A

re you Flounder’s mom?” a woman inquired with hyper enthusiasm.

“Uh, yes, Flounder is mine,” I shyly replied, “And who is yours?”

“Ariel, I’m ‘Ariel’s mom’,” she went on to introduce me to “Ursula’s mom” too; Ariel and Ursula were two of the leading actresses in The Little Mermaid musical production. During the time period of a couple of months, all of our names had evolved and I had become known as simply Flounder’s Mom. DARLING, IT’S BETTER, DOWN WHERE IT’S WETTER Elli, my oldest girl, was cast in the Crane Country Day School Upper School musical. Elli’s part was Flounder,

Ariel’s little guppy sidekick. For months, Flounder had been rehearsing, singing, dancing, memorizing lines, fitting into costumes and finishing the touches with hair and makeup. There were long, hard hours spent on the stage.

This was our first time being a part of a musical production. Now, there are a few surprising factors that were revealed to us during this process. For one, Elli has struggled a bit with anxiety in her tween life. Naturally, her father and I were completely floored when we found out she was auditioning for a musical production. We were taken aback by her desire to be in the spotlight (happily, I might add).

The other bit of wonderment in this scenario is that we discovered our

Flounder and Ariel’s scene that made me sweat (photo by Teresa Pietsch)

PLEASE DON’T FLOUNDER, FLOUNDER! So we watched as our little Flounder got to work. I did a great deal of chauffeuring her back and

BRIANA’S BEST BET

•A part of the proceeds from Crane Country Day School’s The Little Mermaid production were donated to the non-profit organization Santa Barbara Channelkeeper. This local group is dedicated to protecting and restoring the Santa Barbara Channel and watershed. The cast and crew got to meet some of the activists from this group, and they were educated about environmental awareness and how to help support our real-life sea creatures and keep our waters clean. You can read more about how to support this non-profit group at www.sbck.org.

• The fabulous theatrical director of The Little Mermaid, Shana Arthurs, runs a summer camp in Santa Barbara. From June 26 to July 24, she will coach actors and produce the musical Legally Blonde. I can’t say enough about what Mrs. Arthurs did for Elli. If your child is interested in the stage, check out her website for more information about how to sign up for the fun: www.stageleftsb.com • T he musical director of The Little Mermaid, Konrad Kono, also runs weeklong summer camps that involve music, art, and dance for a wide range of children. Both of my kids have participated in Camp Kono in the past and loved it! You can sign up at: www.campkono.com

forth from auditions, rehearsals, workshops, singing and dance practice, and script reads. But all I did was drive the car. Flounder took the helm with all of the work – and oh, my goodness, that fish dove in deep. At one point, they had a seven-hour, full-dress rehearsal and my little guppy fell asleep sitting upright in the car on the way home.

Opening night, the lights came up on what resembled a Broadway set. Backstage, Flounder was flooded with mixed emotions: nervousness, excitement, pride, fear, and a yearning to get the show started. (I might add that you typically try not to add more emotions into a tween-age girl.)

Flounder rocked her first singing number alongside the whole cast to open the show. My husband and I sat in the audience, eyes wide in shock that this was all happening.

Things took a shift at the opening of the third scene. Ariel sat in the dark on stage waiting for the lights to come up, which were set to happen when Flounder glides out to greet her. But the lights didn’t come up and Flounder was nowhere to be found! Ariel sat there and fidgeted while the whole audience began to squirm, everyone wondering: what’s gone wrong?

Sweat pooled on my palms. I leaned over to my husband and said, “Elli is supposed to be on stage!” Our hands were locked in a death grip as we both wondered: where is Flounder?

The worst started to run through my mind: Maybe she is just too scared to do it?

What would happen if she refuses to come on stage?

After what seemed like a year, I saw some movement. Tech crew members were quickly turning parts of the stage around, and then they scrambled off as the lights came up. Flounder glided out to join Ariel with a smile. As it turns out, the big wait was all over a small set mix-up. I let out a sigh and continued to watch Flounder glow.

After four full performances, the cast and crew and their directors took their final bows, and our days under the sea came to an end. There were flowers and compliments and the feeling of complete and utter satisfaction.

Flounder, the whole cast, and crew were overly grateful to their coaches: Mrs. Arthurs, Ms Lemmex, and Mr. Kono to name a few. Their tireless hours of work with these kids made The Little Mermaid a splashing success.

The curtain dropped and my time spent as “Flounder’s mom” has now become a memory, one that will be forever etched. It’s bittersweet to see it come to and end, but honestly, I’m ready to come up for some air.

ON CANVAS

by Margaret Landreau

In the last 18 years, Margaret Landreau has accumulated 13 years of serving on the Board of Directors of Santa Barbara County arts-related nonprofits and has worked as a freelance arts writer for 10 years. She creates her own art in her Carpinteria studio.

BARBARA LEUNG LARSON

S

ometimes the path an artist starts on leads to places she never imagined.

Barbara Leung Larson needed to create metal bases to display her blownglass artwork. The only metalwork class available was an auto body welding class.

There, Leung Larson learned the skills she now uses to create metal sculptures she sells at the Santa Barbara Art Show on Cabrillo Boulevard.

Her metal sculpture motifs are inspired by nature, from suns to flowers.

Both creative and skilled, she brings whimsical expressions to the animal faces, and you can picture her quail family ambling along a country road or imagine the butterfly her kitten is watching intently. She invites you to come view her sculpture displays every Sunday at the Santa Barbara Art Show along the boulevard.

She creates her metalwork sculptures at the ranch where she lives with her dog, Henry, part of the historical Dos Pueblos Orchid Ranch near the Gaviota Coast. Although she enjoys working alone, she believes that interaction with other artists stimulates her creativity, and she enjoys being part of the SB Art Show with more than 100 other artists. She also enjoys mentoring and teaches painting classes and monotype workshops at her gallery One Eleven.

Leung Larson studied Studio Design at UCLA in the ‘80s and shares, “I felt I’d get a better education working in the

field; there wasn’t even a degree offered in graphic design then.” She took a design job that segued into freelance working and thinks the best moments so far in her career were when she took a year off advertising. She believes it was a turning point for her as an artist. Taking very little freelance work and living on the Grand Canal in Venice, she would paddle with her dog in a canoe to the farmers market, then come home and just paint.

“There have been so many good days – the day I got my first press, the day I

opened my first studio in the garage in Venice. Art is essential... so pleasurable!

Every child draws, dances, sings.” She says the biggest challenges have always been focus and finance. “Making a living (as an artist) is tough, finding a place to work that’s affordable is very tough and has always been the biggest challenge. Having a venue like the SB

beach show is great... also having a studio in the funk Zone, it’s a very hot area right now.”

Leung Larson’s monographs and paintings are displayed at her One Eleven studio at 111 Santa Barbara St. in the Funk Zone. She can be reached at studio111sb@gmail.com or (805) 4510651.

IHeart SB

By Elizabeth Rose

I Heart SB is the diary of Elizabeth Rose, a thirty-something navigating life, love, and relationships in the Greater Santa Barbara area. Thoughts or comments? Email ihearterose@gmail.com

FLASHBACK: THERAPY DATE After reading through the first few I Hearts, I realized I left out several perfectly awkward dates. Here’s a story of the first date I went on post break-up:

A

huge bouquet of flowers arrived at the little Montecito boutique I worked in at the time. When I say huge, I mean huge. It took up half the counter space and the three-foot-tall wooden frame (yes, frame) encompassing the vase was later used as a garden accessory. The card read, “I came in Tuesday and your smile brightened up my day. Would you consider a date with me? No pressure if not. A beautiful girl deserves beautiful flowers anyway,” along with his name and phone number.

Pleasantly surprised and flattered by the gesture, I took the bush home, sat it on my dinning room table, and thought about whether I wanted to go through with this. What’s the harm? I thought. My heart was on the mend and this seemed to be the perfect opportunity to get back in the game. And if the date was a total loss, I’d just say I had a deadline and leave.

I called that evening to thank him for the flowers and confirm the date. He phoned back a few minutes after we hung up to say reservations at Toma had been made for the next day. My expectations where none – I barely remembered who he was, so, in a way, I had just set myself up on a blind date.

The big day came, and I wore a conservative, long-sleeve paisley dress with cowboy boots, the best I-may-look-sweet-but-don’t-mess-with-me combo I could find. I made my way to Toma and was the first to arrive. Not a good sign.

The host directed me to a table for two by the front window. About 10 minutes later, he walks in. He looked to be in his early 50s, about five-six, slightly bald, and a little sweaty. This should be fun.

“Sorry I’m late, I couldn’t find a parking spot.”

“No problem,” I said. “It’s a lovely view.”

“I’m glad you like it. I called ahead to make sure this table was saved for us.

Would you like some wine? I don’t drink, but please get what you want.”

I order a split of sauvignon blanc and buckled up for my first official date out of the gates. From then on, he took the mic. I might have spoken 20 words the entire time. This is how our conversation went: “Do you surf?”

“Yes, kind of.”

“I surf, too. I learned from my dad when I was twelve and we’d go out every weekend. Man, this one time this wave took me all the way from Leadbetter to East Beach! Well, it felt like it anyway. Yeah, I love surfing. It’s awesome. What else to do you like to do?”

“I love to hike.”

“Oh, me too. There’s this great hike by my house. It’s a huge private property in the hills. I just rented it out to Lamborghini for an event. It was so nice. Lots of money people there…”

He rambled on about how he works as a contractor for the city and never married because he works too hard, like, real hard (his words), and barely has time to go out. My mind began to wander, and I realized he needed a therapist or a cheerleader, not a date. He didn’t want to learn about me, he needed someone to tell him he’s doing a great job and pat him on the back. So I gave in; it was the least I could do for the poor dude, and knocked back my split of wine, nodding politely, and throwing out the occasional “wow” and “that’s interesting” when I thought necessary.

The waiter came round and asked if we’d like dessert. I politely interrupted and said I had a deadline, then thanked him for dinner before slipping out.

The next day, he sent a bundle of freshly cut sage stems from his garden. I must have mentioned how much I loved it at some point. I thanked him in a text and wished him well.

At times when I burn those little fragrant leaves, I send friendly vibes his way.

I hope he’s found what he’s looking for – a good life coach or a woman with the attention span of a saint.

CECCO WINE WEDNESDAY n addition to Solvang’s Farmers Market, every Wednesday David Cecchini, chef and owner of Cecco Ristorante, invites fellow foodies and wine seekers to an evening where he switches it up each week selecting a wine that flaunts a different varietal, producer, region, or country and pairs it with a savory sample of complimentary cuisine – usually with the promise of one bite being a Neapolitan inspired, thin-crust pizza baked in his Italian wood-burning brick oven. Also, opening soon across the courtyard from David’s main restaurant is Cecchetti. “It is the Italian version of Spanish tapas; small presentation bites and things on toast,” says David adding, “Cecchetti bars originated in Venice where you don’t sit down and you have glass of wine and a light bite with items on tooth picks and small plates.” The new “standup European-style” eatery will be like a little Italian grocery – retail wine shop with imported cheeses and meats and all the accouterments for eating and sipping at the shop’s countertop bar, in the communal courtyard, to take home, or to stock a picnic for the wine trail. Cecchetti’s wine inventory will feature imports from mainly Italy, Spain, and France by the bottle and glass, and will be in the “affordable range to drink every day and take home with you,” says David.
