Storytime Charms Library Plaza Visitors HEN RICK FRICKMANN SAW THE MICHAEL TOWBES LIBRARY PLAZA, he knew it would be the ideal venue to honor the memory of his mother, artist Frances Frickmann. Eager to share Frances’ creativity with the library and surrounding community one more time, her bronze sculpture Storytime is on display in the plaza, inviting all to reflect on the precious moment of sharing a good book with a loved one. “They put it in the garden, and I like the idea of you walking by and discovering it there,” said Rick Frickmann, a retired engineer who has called Santa Barbara home for over 50 years. He and his wife, local artist LeeAnne Dollison, are public art enthusiasts and supporters. Known as the “artist of the family,” Frances worked as a staff artist in Storytime, a bronze sculpture by Frances W. the U.S. Marine Frickmann (1923–2010) is now on display in the Corps during Michael Towbes Library Plaza World War II. Her husband, George, also joined the Marines, and the couple moved to southern California after the war, first living in San Diego and then Riverside. Creative across materials and methods, Frances practiced as a commercial freelance illustrator as well as a department store advertising artist. She graduated from the American School of Design in addition to earning a degree in fine arts

from the University of Redlands. “She always had a sketchbook by her side,” remembered Rick. The Frickmann family moved to Santa Barbara in 1969. In her retirement, Frances focused on crafting bronze sculptures in her Mission Canyon studio throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s. She often showed her works at the Santa Barbara Public Library’s Faulkner Gallery, even exhibiting a two month solo sculpture exhibition in the library’s reading room in 1982. It was this personal connection that motivated Rick to approach the SB Public Library with the idea of donating one of his mother’s sculptures as a public art piece for the plaza. Moved by the reading-focused nature of Storytime, Rick worked with a foundry in Paso Robles to enlarge his mother’s original seveninches-tall design into a three foot-tall work.

Storytime by Frances W. Frickmann

As a creative representation of an intimate moment that many viewers will have experienced themselves, Rick shared that Storytime reflects his mother’s appreciation of real-world wonder. “She had a personality that leaned toward Norman Rockwell; she liked the family, homegrown type of personalities, and expressing them,” he explained. “A lot of her works are like that.” Rick approached the library with the idea in

June 2025 and Storytime was placed in the plaza in October, where it will remain as a temporary, on-loan public art work. It went before the City of Santa Barbara’s Arts Advisory Committee prior to installation. “I feel this sculpture does a fantastic job capturing a moment of connection,” said SB Library Director Brandon Beaudette. “This honors the library’s role where children, stories, and learning can come together across generations.” Beyond honoring his mother’s memory, Rick remains deeply passionate about the role public art plays in uniting a community. He praised the downtown’s murals and Pianos on State initiative, adding that he hopes that Library Plaza visitors consider Storytime as an extension of the bronze sculptures that greet passersby in the nearby La Arcada paseos. “I appreciate all efforts to put art out in the public sphere,” said Rick. “It gives an identity and personality.”

Get out of the Water and into the Theater!

The Shark is Broken Bites into the Making of Jaws By Daisy Scott / VOICE

T’S BEEN EIGHT WEEKS OF FILMING AND BRUCE, THE MECHANICAL SHARK who will go on to terrorize scores of moviegoers, has broken down... again. Set sail with the cast of Jaws when the Ensemble Theatre Company presents The Shark is Broken, playwright Ian Shaw’s dramatization of the personal conflicts and artistic reflections experienced by his father, Robert Shaw, and actors Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider while filming one of Hollywood’s greatest gambles.

“The Shark is Broken takes audiences behind the scenes of one of the most legendary films ever made. Ian Shaw has crafted a brilliantly entertaining play drawn directly from his father Robert Shaw’s journals during the making of Jaws—giving us unprecedented access to what really happened on that troubled production,” shared ETC Artistic Director Scott DeVine. “If you love the movie, you’ll be fascinated to discover the real drama that unfolded off-camera while Spielberg and his crew were creating cinematic history. This is your chance to experience the chaos, the humor, and the tension that went into making the film that changed movies forever.” The play’s entirety takes place on the set of the Orca, the rusty yet faithful fishing boat used in Jaws to hunt the great white who has developed an appetite for Amity’s swimming population.

When Shaw, Dreyfuss, and Scheider weren’t filming, however, the Orca became a purgatorial site for arguments and swapping tales. Audiences are plunged into the heart of the trio’s shifting relationships, witnessing how their brainstorming and bickering impacted their chemistry and the overall film. Actor Will Block, who plays Richard Dreyfuss, enjoys how the play goes beyond representing three famous people to provide larger comments on the life of an actor.

“To a certain extent, this is a play about boredom, it’s about the downtime,” Block explained to VOICE. “The part of being an actor that helps me fall in love with the life, not just the work, is you build these little families when you’re on a job... It’s an aspect of the life that I think audience members are often not given a peek at.”

Director and UCSB Lecturer Pesha Rudnick

Block is no stranger to building actor families at The New Vic, having previously starred in last season’s production of Hamlet as well as ETC’s productions of The Thanksgiving Play, and The Wickhams. As he turns his

Opening on Saturday, February 7th and running through the 22nd, the play will add to the cinematic excitement already in the air, as ETC’s production coincides with the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

talents to The Shark is Broken, he is excited to share a story that demonstrates that the creative process’s “element of accident” can often catapult a work into greatness.

“The biggest challenge is to work out what Shaw’s like, and then what he’s like when he’s playing Quint,” said Jackson. “They’re distinct but very similar.”

He pointed to how Jaws’ technical troubles with its mechanical shark ultimately helped it become a study of human character as much as it is a thriller. By rarely showing the shark on screen, Spielberg was able to build suspense and center its actors as the primary sources of emotional connection.

Director Pesha Rudnick similarly appreciates the production’s meta nature as a play about actors. While the work touches on a 50 year-old classic, she stressed The Shark is Broken reflects a strong contemporary connection to discussions around storytelling.

“It ended up becoming something a lot more exciting because of what went wrong, not because of what went right,” said Block. “We get to know these people as people, and that’s why the movie endures far more than any special effects.” The Shark is Broken takes this personal focus a step further by inviting audiences to get to know the actors as people with a not-so-dissimilar real-life dynamic as their onscreen counterparts. Shaw and Dreyfuss famously clashed during filming while Scheider, who will be portrayed by Los Angeles actor Adam Poole in his ETC debut, kept the peace. “That antagonism between the educated, young man and uneducated but knowledgeable older man is also in the movie,” actor Gildart Jackson, who plays Shaw, shared with VOICE. “I feel that is what the play’s about, establishing how Shaw made sure that that really felt antagonistic in the film.” Local theatre goers will remember Jackson from ETC’s production of Parents In Chains. Now, he is enjoying the challenge of working through scenes that touch on Shaw’s famous USS Indianapolis monologue, which Jackson says lies at the heart of figuring out his “very watchable but also very strange” character.

“I think the heart of the play is this question of whether we’re replaceable, both as artists and mostly humans. And I think as we contemplate AI and the fast and overwhelming reality of technology around us, we come back to this question of, what is it that humans do that is unique? I think what we do is tell stories and react to each other,” shared Rudnick. “I feel like the answer is no, we’re not replaceable, because the chemistry between, in this case, three artists has a direct impact on the art that’s created.” As a lecturer at UC Santa Barbara, Rudnick has also turned the production into an educational opportunity for local students. The play’s Assistant Director and dramaturg, Veda Arndt-Schreiber, is a senior in UCSB’s BFA acting program, and all of the university’s theater/dance students may attend a performance for free. Jazer Sibley-Schwartz, the production’s Sound Designer, is also currently earning his PhD in UCSB’s Media Arts and Technology Program. He has specially created original compositions for ETC’s production that Rudnick says will be “evocative and sentimental” for fans of John Williams’ score. “I hope it inspires people to watch the movie again after,” said Rudnick. “It’s absolutely filled with humor, and there’s a real, sort of heartbreaking and emotional core.” For tickets ($25-104) visit etcsb.org

Takács Quartet Returns to St. Mark’s-in-the-Valley

By Daisy Scott / VOICE

“There’s something magical, I think, about coming to a concert is we have 100, 200 people congregating together and they’re receiving music...and every one of the people in the room can keep the music in the way they want, the way they react to it is valid,” said Takács Quartet violist Richard O’Neill. “We have no idea as an artist what everybody in the audience is thinking about. We give the music in the hopes that whatever we’re presenting will give them something. To me, that is so worthwhile. It’s a privilege to be a musician.” This will mark the quartet’s second concert at St. Mark’s after previously enchanting audiences with a stirring all-Beethoven program in 2023. O’Neill is a longtime colleague and friend of SYVC Artistic Director Robert Cassidy.

SYVC Artistic Director Robert Cassidy

“I said to them afterwards, that might have been the best string quartet concert I’ve ever heard in my life because it was so captivating, moving, and at such an incredibly high level of not only ensemble and technical proficiency, but just sheer artistry,” said Cassidy. “We are so lucky that we had that concert, and they liked the acoustics so much at St. Mark’s that they wanted to come back immediately.”

An intimate venue tucked away in scenic Los Olivos, St. Mark’s was built with acoustic music at the forefront of its designers’ minds. Its wood paneling, stone, and minimal carpeting lend itself to providing clear, enhanced reverberations for live performances. Cassidy added that he recalled the last time the Takács Quartet performed that the musicians in rehearsal “put their bows to the strings and played just a couple of notes, stopped, and looked at each other and said, ‘wow.’”

REATHING NEW LIFE INTO QUINTESSENTIAL MASTERPIECES AND REALIZING THE FULL POTENTIAL OF INNOVATIVE, NEW COMPOSITIONS, the worldrenowned Takács Quartet will return to St. Mark’s-in-the-Valley for the first Santa Ynez Valley Concert Series performance of 2026. Held at 7pm on Friday, January 23rd, the evening’s repertoire will include Beethoven, Dvořák, and Nokuthula Ngwenyama’s Flow, which was specially composed for the quartet’s 50th anniversary.

The Takács Quartet will perform at St. Mark’s on January 23rd and at the Music Academy on the 24th for a special fundraiser event

O’Neill, a Music Academy of the West alumnus, voiced gratitude for the SYVC and the opportunity to return to St. Mark’s, which he calls a “gem of an acoustic place where the audience feels very close and the sound is very warm and direct.” Joined by cellist András Fejér and violinists Edward Dusinberre and Harumi Rhodes, O’Neill looks forward to presenting Beethoven’s String Quartet, Op. 18, No. 2, followed by Flow, which he calls a “very interesting, colorful, and fun piece” that musically represents the big bang, weaves in ‘70s groove music, and explores many permutations. The evening will conclude with Dvořák’s String Quartet No. 13 in G Major, Op. 106, which the quartet will play again just 24 hours later for a Music Academy fundraiser on January 24th. Titled “Up Close & Unforgettable,” that event will include only 70 guests for an on-stage dinner party in Hahn Hall, followed by a performance from the Takács Quartet.

Santa Barbara Symphony

Beethoven Piano Concerto Marathon

Sunday’s program will spotlight the concertos’ bookends, beginning with Concerto No. 1 and culminating in the dramatic fifth Emperor Concerto. Pianist Dmitry Shishkin, who earned silver at the XVI International Tchaikovsky Competition and won the Geneva International Music Competition, will take the stage for No. 1.

IVE PIANISTS, TWO DAYS, AND ONE INCOMPARABLE COMPOSER will shine at the Granada Theatre this weekend when the Santa Barbara Symphony presents a Beethoven Piano Concerto Marathon for the first time.

Created to showcase emerging virtuosos, the marathon will feature five international piano competition winners and finalists in two distinct programs at 7:30pm on Saturday, January 17th and 3pm on Sunday, January 18th.

Ludwig van Beethoven by Joseph Karl Stieler, 1820

“Beethoven’s music is defined by innovation, risk-taking, and an unmistakable sense of forward momentum, qualities that resonate deeply with what we thrive to do artistically at the Symphony,” said Santa Barbara Symphony Music & Artistic Director Nir Kabaretti. “Bringing multiple young voices to this monumental cycle not only reveals the extraordinary range of interpretation within a single repertoire, but also celebrates the next generation of musicians carrying Beethoven’s adventurous spirit into the future.” To listen to Beethoven’s piano concertos is to experience sonic snapshots of his life. He wrote his first concerto at the age of 25 and completed his fifth Emperor Concerto in 1809, as he was beginning to lose his hearing. Ranging from intense and stirring masterpieces to gentle, lilting moments of beauty, each concerto marries the full body of the orchestra with powerful piano solos.

Kaberetti shared that he was inspired to present all of the concertos as a marathon so that local audiences could experience them as a “complete artistic journey rather than as isolated masterpieces.”

SB Symphony Music & Artistic Director Nir Kabaretti

appreciates its “breadth of its expression.” “What I find particularly rewarding about performing this concerto is the way that sense of struggle gradually gives way to triumphant resolution as the music moves from C minor to C major,” Yi said to VOICE. “That trajectory reflects where Beethoven was in his life at the time, at the beginning of his “Heroic” period. His contemporaneous Heiligenstadt Testament reveals his defiant resolve to continue composing despite his increasing deafness. Approaching the concerto with this context and his indomitable spirit in mind serves as a reminder that artistic growth often emerges through perseverance in the face of significant challenges.” Saturday’s concert will also feature the SB Symphony playing Beethoven’s Egmont, Op. 84 Overture as well as pianist Evren Ozel performing Concerto No. 4. Ozel placed second in the 2025 Cleveland International Piano Competition and feels that his concerto reveals Beethoven “at his most tender-hearted.” “Unlike the other concertos, the piece unfolds more slowly and gracefully, where each turn of phrase enchants the listener in an almost hypnotic way,” said Ozel. “Working with an orchestra and conductor to get to that flow state of unfolding the piece is one of the most amazing experiences!”

Min Joo Yi will perform Concerto No. 3

Evren Ozel will perform Concerto No. 4

Dmitry Shishkin will perform Concerto No. 1

Even after years of playing Mozart’s and Beethoven’s sonatas and concertos, Zhang shared that she still listens with fresh ears whenever she plays Beethoven’s Concerto No. 2, remarking that it “becomes a treasure hunt.” “There are so many ‘Easter eggs’ and parts that are stars in a constellation; every note and rest are meaningful in the larger picture,” explained Zhang. “As his first completed concerto, and second published, there are many moments of whimsical dialogue between the soloist and orchestra, and I cannot wait to make those moments come alive live with the Maestro and Symphony. The mighty cadenza of the first movement, the ephemeral ending of the second movement, and ‘good-times’ dance feeling of the third are sure to stay with the listener hopefully for a long while after my performance!” Palm Springs International Piano Competition winner Jonathan Marmoa will perform the grand Concerto No. 5 finale, which boasts what he calls “one of the greatest middle movements of any concerto and perhaps one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.” “While the heroic and dramatic nature of the piece allows me as the performer to tap into the spirit of courageousness and fearlessness, all very rewarding experiences when performing, the quiet second movement feels most rewarding,” said Marmoa. “It offers such contrast to the rest of the piece, everything from its tenderness and beauty, to the entrance of the piano, to its orchestration, to the very key it’s composed in.” Attendees looking to learn more can attend radio host Jennifer Miller Hammel’s “Conversations with KUSC” pre-concert talks, to be held at 6:30pm on Saturday and 2pm on Sunday.

Min Joo Yi, who won the 2025 Music Academy of the West’s Solo Piano Concerto Competition will kick off the marathon on Saturday with Concerto No. 3. The only concerto to be composed in a minor key, the piece holds special interest for Yi, who

SB International Film Festival Launches Exciting 41st Edition

By Robert F. Adams, Special to VOICE

EVEALING ANOTHER CREATIVE AND ICONIC POSTER, Santa Barbara International Film Festival Executive Director Roger Durling exclaimed, “The festival is going to be spectacular, this will be a special year for the festival!” He added, as he revealed SBIFF’s poster and program on January 14th, “We are opening our complete remodel on State Street, which will be open for the film festival, The McHurley Film Center, which will be a state-of-the-art place to see many of the festival’s films.”

A record 46 World Premieres will be screened during SBIFF, as well as many dynamic international narrative features and shorts. The Festival opens on February 4th with the U.S. premiere of A Mosquito In The Ear, which is about a couple seeking to adopt a SBIFF Executive Director child in India. SBIFF closes Roger Durling on February 14th with the U.S. premiere of Laundry (Uhlanjululo). Set in South Africa, the film was written and directed by Zamo Mkhwanazi, and the filmmaker will be joining the screening. “Our team is very proud of the slate, which will include fifty percent female filmmakers and films representing over fifty countries,” shared SBIFF Programming Director Claudia Puig. This season’s SBIFF artist, Baret Boisson, who created a kaleidoscope of colors and imagery, with iridescent paint that seems to glitter at certain angles for the poster, mentioned to VOICE, “The subject matter is all about artistic freedom. So many filmmakers will be coming to the festival that are all about artistic expression, and I wanted the themes to be universal; I wanted the subject matter to have a universal reach. People will be able to find a poster

which is reflective of artistic choices and the important theme of freedom of expression.” The reveal was held at Sullivan-Goss, the noted local art gallery on Anapamu Street. Gallery owner Nathan Vonk stated, “This is one of my favorite events of the year for this poster unveiling.” Durling gave a special shout out to key figures in his organization including Programming Director Claudia Puig; Development Director Benjamin Bhutani Goedert, who is spearheading the development campaign for the new Film Center; Director of Education Claire Waterhouse; and Managing Director Sean Pratt, who was humorously and momentarily called out as “Sean Penn” much to the delight of the gathered press. Other 2026 Festival highlights include a Julian Schnabel retrospective that will include the U.S. Premiere of his newest film In The Hand of Dante, featuring actors Gerard Butler and Al Pacino. There will also be a Director’s Panel and the Variety Artisan’s Panel, the participants of which will be announced shortly after the Academy The 41st SBIFF poster was designed by local artist Baret Boisson Award nominations are named on special tributes to the most celebrated performers and January 22nd.

Young people have their say at Indivisible Santa Barbara protest against Trump, ICE

N A SEA OF ACTIVISTS AND SIGN CARRIERS, these young people stood out standing on the corner.

Three 15-year-old high school girls waved signs and spoke out against President Trump and the federal government. They had a message of their own. “I feel hopeful,” said Riley Zant, a San Marcos High School student. “I think us out here makes a big difference. I think that a lot of our peers, even those who do support the cause, they just don’t think their voice matters and that they make a difference, but young people coming out here makes a big difference. It really does matter to come and show up.” Zant and her friends Sidney Burgoyne and Josie McClain were among the more than 1,000 people who packed both sides of State Street near La Cumbre Plaza on Saturday morning. The protest and rally was organized by Indivisible Santa Barbara, an organization founded in 2017, and that has taken on a greater community role in the past year. The group has held several rallies and protests, including one that attracted more than 10,000 people to the waterfront. The event was a protest against ICE deportations locally, the recent shooting death of Renee Good at the hands of an ICE officer, and the invasion of Venezuela and capture of their president, and the bombing in Nigeria. “There’s disagreement with what Trump is doing,” said Ian Paige, a member of Indivisible Santa Barbara. “I personally think he has implemented what are insane policies.”

people are being deported simply for their skin color.

Paige said ICE is acting like the Gestapo secret police in Germany in the 1930s. “Like the Jews in Germany, the Hispanic people here in the United States are a minority that he thinks he can oppress,” Paige said. “We’re here to support the immigrant community.” The protesters shouted, “Ice Out,” and “Say Her Name,” in reference to Renee Good, who was shot to death by ICE officers in Minneapolis last week. Many of the cars honked their horns in support as they drove by. Sidney Burgoyne, a Santa Barbara High School student, said what is happening in the country now is not right.

“They are ripping innocent people from their homes and their families, leaving poor, innocent little kids nothing and taking their families and moving them across the world, when they are just trying to be here, make a living and better our country,” Ginder said.

Philip Nordblad, in his 20s, said we should be following international law and respecting everyone in the country. “We have an administration that is running with no checks and balances right now,” Nordblad said. “There is no law that ICE is really following, in my opinion.”

ONIQUE LIMÓN NEVER FORGOT WHERE SHE CAME FROM.

And on Friday, in front of more than 500 people, Limón reminded everyone where her journey began. “Decades ago I stood on this stage as a student in this school,” Limón said. “And today I stand with you here as the new leader of the California state senate.” Limón ushered in her era as Senate pro Tempore with a grand ceremony at the Marjorie Luke Theatre at Santa Barbara Junior High School. Limón, who grew up on both the Eastside and Westside of Santa Barbara, thanked every person who helped her as an English-language learner growing up. “This is what happens when we invest in communities, when California invests in communities, when we invest in students, when we invest in one another,” Limón said, to a loud ovation from the audience. big.

And when Limón gives thanks, she goes

Former Vice President Kamala Harris appeared at the event and swore-in Limón. The presence of the first female Vice President electrified the audience. Although members of the media were told that Harris would appear, not everyone in the crowd knew until the moment she was announced on stage. “It is the honor of a lifetime to have Vice President Kamala Harris here with me today

administering the oath of office,” Limón said. “As our first woman vice president of this country, she knows a lot about shattering glass ceilings and what it takes to be the first in this country.” Limón is the first woman and Latina to lead the state senate. A graduate of UC Berkeley, she is a former member of the Santa Barbara Unified School District Board of Trustees, and prior to serving as a state senator she was a state assemblymember. “Being the first is important, and ensuring that we are not the last is even more important,” Limón said. Limón was joined on stage by her husband Mike Medel, their 5-year-old daughter Gianna, family members, Harris, and other elected officials. Dozens of elected officials from Goleta, Santa Barbara, Buellton, Santa Barbara County, school boards and community activists packed the theater, with dozens glimpsing the show from the balcony. The event also featured dance performances. Limón was formally sworn-in at a ceremony in Sacramento earlier in the week. Friday’s event was a way to celebrate with her hometown crowd. Dozens of Limón’s family members were on stage and in the crowd, sharing in the glory of the moment. Amid the joy, Limón called for a moment of silence for Renee Nicole Good, who was shot dead by ICE officers in Minnesota. She also acknowledged the anniversary of the Montecito debris flow on January 9, which

CALM Teen Council Invites Students to Lead Mental Health Advocacy Efforts CALM IS CALLING ON THE NEXT GENERATION OF CHANGEMAKERS with the launch of its 2026 Teen Council, a new opportunity for high school students to lead the conversation on youth mental health. Designed to empower students in grades 9 to 12 to advocate for mental health and trauma prevention while gaining hands-on leadership experience, council members work directly with CALM staff to design and lead youth-focused initiatives, contribute to awareness and public education efforts, and participate in volunteer and fundraising efforts that support children and families. “As CALM’s Teen Ambassador, I’m incredibly excited to involve more youth in our community in such a meaningful organization,” shared Kennedy, Teen Council Co-Chair. “Childhood trauma and mental health challenges touch so many of our lives, and empowering teenagers to speak, act, and advocate for those who may not yet feel comfortable doing so is truly inspiring. CALM’s Teen Council represents the change our community so deeply needs.” Teen Council members commit to attending meetings, learning about CALM’s programs and services, and serving as ambassadors for CALM’s mission to prevent childhood trauma, heal children and families, and build resilient communities. At this time, the Teen Council is open to students attending Santa Barbara area high schools. CALM hopes to expand the program countywide in the future. Applications will be accepted through the end of January. For more information or to apply, visit calm4kids.org/get-involved/#teen-council

killed 23 people in 2018. Limón addressed the actions of the federal government and President Trump. “Across California and in this country, we are witnessing renewed attacks on immigrants, on women, on workers, on students, on individuals with disabilities, on families,” Limón said. “These moments test us, but they also remind us about who we are.” She said “we never back away from trying times. We lean in and we get to work, and that is exactly what California is doing.” Limón praised many of the people in the room who supported her over the years, including teachers and mentors who held the door open for her. And although she shared the stage with the former Vice President Harris, she reserved her highest compliments for her husband and daughter.

“To my husband Mike, and to my daughter Gianna, without you, none of this would be possible,” Limón said. “Mike, you have been by my side since the day I took the first leap into office. I couldn’t do this without you, your constant support, for the hours you put into our family to make sure that I can do this work.” Limón then looked at her daughter, sitting on her husband’s lap, and said to her: “Every day, the work I do, I do with keeping you in mind,” Limón said. “You are the reason that I work as hard as I do, that I fight as hard as I do, and push as hard as I do. Like my parents, I want to create a world where you can achieve the dreams that you can never imagine.” Printed with permission of the Santa Barbara News-Press • 1.10.2026 • newspress.com

Where Are the Jobs? “Both total nonfarm payroll employment (+50,000) and the unemployment rate (4.4 percent) changed little in December, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment continued to trend up in food services and drinking places, health care, and social assistance. Retail trade lost jobs.” BLS.gov

VoiceSB.com CASA Santa Barbara, Inc.

By Harlan Green, Special to VOICE

E’RE NOW SEEING THE FIRST ‘CLEAN’ RESULTS of the damage to the job market since the 42-day government shutdown in the December unemployment report.

Currently, approximately half the jobs are being created as compared to before the April 2nd tariff announcements, as is shown in the FRED graph of total nonfarm payroll jobs. That will not make those who are looking for work happy. There are fewer available jobs, in this instance. Employment continued to increase in food services and drinking places, health care, and social assistance. But retail and everything else lost jobs. The bottom line is payroll employment rose by just 584,000 in 2025 (an average monthly gain of 49,000), less than the increase of 2.0 million in 2024 (an average monthly gain of 168,000), said the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

and those that want jobs but haven’t been looking for jobs recently rose 684,000 in 2025.

ECONOMIC VOICE By Harlan Green

Our population may be shrinking, but not enough to absorb all those looking for work—not just to replace the jobs lost to the tariffs, but replacing those jobs lost from deported workers. There are fewer agricultural workers to harvest the crops, for instance. What does that do to grocery prices? According to a Michigan State study cited by The Idaho Capital Sun, more than half of surveyed farmers said in 2021 that they were experiencing some sort of worker shortage. It found that when domestic farm employment declines by ten percent, food prices of labor-intensive crops increase by around three percent. We can now see the damage Trump’s attempt to make his own laws is doing to the U.S. economy. He cannot legally levy most tariffs that haven’t been approved by congress. They are supposed to be negotiated by the trade partners involved, not by executive order. That’s why Trump has driven up prices on housing construction and auto manufacturing, for instance, because of higher tariffs on steel, aluminum, and lumber, and why the goods producing sector, such as in manufacturing and construction, lost -21,000 jobs in December.

Businesses are supposed to expand and hire more employees this year because they can write off capital expenditures in the same year they are spent in Trump’s new tax law. But AI cannot replace all those jobs that businesses will need to grow this year and beyond, because it takes time to automate production, though the stock prices of those AI companies that have been rallying of late don’t know that yet.

So the question will be can consumers still shop and spend as they did last year, which is why GDP growth of late is surging? Will the level of consumer spending, capital investments, and higher exports hold up unless companies begin to hire more workers? A lot of consumers are already unhappy with the higher prices in everyday items. This is even though University of Michigan’s first New Year’s gauge of consumer sentiment rose to 54 in a preliminary January reading from 52.9 in the prior month. It is the second straight gain and the highest level of sentiment since September. Consumers perceived some modest improvement in the economy, the survey found, although sentiment remains nearly 25 percent below last January’s reading, said MarketWatch’s Greg Robb. So this year may be a tossup, in spite of the chaos sewn by a President who doesn’t seem to know or care about basic economic truths. There’s a bit of irrational exuberance in this New Year, so that consumers may keep shopping and corporations make record profits. The question is what they will do with those profits; expand their markets by hiring more employees or buy back stocks to keep elevating their profits and that of their stockholders?

But consumers in the top ten percent income bracket with assets in real estate or the financial markets are continuing to dine out and travel, as I’ve been saying.

How to get stronger

Music Academy of the West 2026 Officers, Directors

If you’re not failing all the time, you’re doing it wrong, says fitness expert

S AMERICANS, we’re in miserable shape. Only about half the U.S. population meets the Physical Activity Guidelines for cardiovascular activity, which is 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, and even fewer, less than one in three, meet the recommendations for resistance training, which are to engage in strengthening activities involving all muscle groups at least two days per week. We have much less physical demand in our day-to-day life than we did decades ago, which means we need to be more intentional about physical activity.

But most people haven’t gotten the proper training on how to lift weights, and form does matter. You can get some pretty good instructions just from YouTube videos. I also often refer to physical therapists (who are licensed professionals and usually covered by your health insurance). You can also find a certified strength and conditioning specialist or exercise physiologist, who can meet you where you’re at and prescribe you a course of training. Here are some tips to get you going:

Anything is better than nothing. Your body doesn’t know how much money you spent on a gym membership or a personal trainer or if you’re wearing Lululemon: Any stress that you put on your body that it’s not accustomed to, your body will respond and get stronger. It doesn’t have to be dumbbells. Many parts of a standard yoga workout — holding a plank, or a standing pose — are great resistance exercises. Bodyweight exercises, things like squats, push-ups, or heel-raises, can be done at home with no equipment.

Work to failure. The most scientifically accurate advice is also the worst for marketing: Work to

failure. We’re success-oriented creatures; nobody wants to work to failure. But to see maximal results, you want to work to the point where you would not be able to do any more reps. You should aim to be able to do eight to 12 reps before you have to stop. If you can’t make it to eight reps, you probably need to modify your movement or use lighter weights; if you make it to 12 reps and you’re still not struggling, you’re ready to use heavier weights. Another way to look at it is cadence: If you’re slowing down by more than 20 percent, you’re reaching your limit.

LOOKING TOWARD ANOTHER YEAR of classical music education and programming, the Music Academy of the West has announced new officer and director appointments and honored those retiring from the organization. The Music Academy’s 2026 Board officers, now all in their second year of service, are: Board Chair Danner Schefler, Vice Chair Susan Lichtenstein, and Secretary Daniel Dokos. Outgoing Board of Directors members are Dean Eric Carter, Clive Chang, and Jerry Eberhardt, who collectively served 25 years on the Board. The newest members to the Board of Directors include: ROBERT BOGHOSIAN, PHD, a retired pharmaceutical and diagnostics executive who held senior leadership roles at Johnson & Johnson, Dade-Behring Diagnostics, Elan Pharmaceutical, and Beckman Instruments. A lifelong classical music enthusiast, he and his wife, Beth Gates Warren, have been active Compeers since 2018. They also sponsor the Music Academy’s String Quartet Seminar. JANET GARUFIS, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman Robert Boghosian, PhD of the Board of Montecito Bank & Trust has returned to the board. A respected industry and civic leader, she has served in national advisory roles within the banking sector and is actively involved with numerous Santa Barbara non-profit organizations, including the Santa Barbara Symphony and the UCSB Economic Forecast Project. She previously served on the Music Academy Board from 2016 to 2019 and has been a champion of the Music Academy’s Sing! Choir program since its inception.

CHERYL GOLDBERG is a technology executive and philanthropist with a strong commitment to music education and the arts. She is the Founding Contributor to the Music Academy of the West’s future Music Education Center, made possible through her transformative $20 million gift honoring the legacy of her late husband, Michael Goldberg, which will support the Music Academy’s mission for generations to come.

Sore? Congratulations. Now, what if you get delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)? Good job! That means you’ve successfully worked out. For relief, try heat or cold, compression garments, and over-the-counter analgesics. You can still work out, though maybe at a lesser intensity — or take DOMS as a cue to do a different kind of exercise. Get in the pool, get on a bike, or go for a walk instead. Both cardio and resistance training are important parts of overall physical health, but there are benefits from resistance training that you won’t get from cardio. People don’t like to hear it, but the natural diminution of muscle mass begins in our 30s, and a stronger body is better able to do fun things, like pick up a grandchild, and to stay independent later in life. Additionally, if you’re on a GLP-1 agonist or on a diet, it’s imperative to do resistance training to mitigate the loss of muscle mass as you lose weight. Your body is an adaptation machine: The way you stress it is the way that it will respond. So if you want to run faster, you need to run faster. If you want to get stronger, you need to produce stress that is not usual for your body, and your body will respond by getting stronger. In short, the more you do, the more you can do.

Young Professionals, Fresh New Year

THE NEW YEAR COMES WITH FRESH ENERGY AND GOALS at the Santa Barbara Young Professionals Club. The club ended 2025 with a few special honors. The group has several areas of focus including collaboration, mentorships, community outreach, and help with non-profits. Recently at its annual gala at the MOXI, the non-profit of the year award of $5,000 was given to Mission Scholars, which assists young people on their opportunities in higher education, financial aid expertise, college mentorship, and career development training primarily to underrepresented students in South Santa Barbara County.

AN EMERGENCY ROCK WALL built after storm damage in 2023/2024 is now protecting the Santa Barbara Harbor parking area, boat yard, and businesses from high tide and ocean swell impacts.

URE SOUNDS PERFORMED WITH INCREDIBLE MUSICAL SOPHISTICATION, the Lark, Roman & Meyer Trio, comprised of violinist Tessa Lark, cellist Joshua Roman, and composer-bassist Edgar Meyer opened their Music Academy of the West Mariposa Series concert last week with Bach’s Sonata for Viola da Gamba in G Major, BWV 1027. They followed with three original and remarkable string trios composed by Meyer. “Bach is my favorite musician. Starting the program with him is a little bit like saying a prayer hoping that we can in some small way aspire towards his example,” commented Meyer in a radio interview. Setting the evening’s tone with Bach and following it with music holding plenty of Bachian fluidity and inspiration, the trio played with flawless synchrony at 16th note speeds with the look and feel of spontaneity. The trio played the entire concert from memory, nearly two hours of ensemble work. The unusual vibrato-less playing of Lark added

significantly to the uniqueness of the evening’s performance. The rich tones and nuanced playing of Roman often completed harmonies and thrilled with his solos. Meyer, unpretentious behind his bass, moved between pizzicato and bow to create an unforgettable baseline for each measure. The original pieces transitioned simple melodies, drawing them into complicated contemporary musical vernacular. Meyer’s accolades include the MacArthur Genius Grant, seven Grammy awards, and the Avery Fisher Prize. He has performed alongside Yo-Yo Ma, Emerson Quartet, Joshua Bell, Béla Fleck, Chris Thile, Hillary Hahn, Emanuel Ax, and Zakir Hussain. Meyer was also a Mosher Guest Artist at the Music Academy in 2019. His stage presence offered unassuming confidence. The trio’s performance was part of a national tour. The trio includes the recognized, well respected, and distinguished Music Academy alum cellist Joshua Roman, who has collaborated with Meyer on other projects as well as with Yo-Yo Ma. Rounding out the trio was violinist Tessa Clark, who previously

The Remarkable Lark, Roman & Meyer Trio

worked and performed with both Meyer and Roman, as well as recently performing at the Academy in an UCSB Arts & Lectures program. She is the recipient of the Avery Fisher Award and performs with orchestras around the world. Meyer’s new composition Trio 2024, while musically connected to the first two pieces, written when he was 20, held a different sensibility and maturity than

the much earlier works. After performing with Lark and Roman, Meyer was inspired to complete the Trio series with the new piece. At the end of the tour, they plan to record all three trios as a set. After a well deserved standing ovation, the trio offered as encore, an arrangement of Bach’s ‘Wachet auf ’ chorale, a hymn in closing, deeply felt by the audience and played with amazing clarity and warmth.

La Galería del Ayuntamiento de Santa Bárbara alberga la recepción de cierre de dos exposiciones

THE COMMUNITY IS INVITED TO A FREE CLOSING RECEPTION for Fare Trade and Iconic Santa Barbara Papel Picado on Friday, January 23rd from 5 to 7pm at Santa Barbara City Hall Gallery (735 Anacapa St.). Fare Trade features photographs by Patricia Clarke and Brett Leigh Dicks that document taquerias and diners across Santa Barbara County and Western Australia. Iconic Santa Barbara Papel Picado is a site-specific installation by Irene Ramirez inspired by local landmarks and traditions. Together, the exhibitions highlight the cultural significance of shared food spaces and the artistry embedded in familiar settings. The closing event will also feature a live poetry reading organized by City of Santa Barbara Poet Laureate George Yatchisin, with readings by additional local poets, including past Poets Laureate Melinda Palacio and Chryss Yost. The readings will be ekphrastic works written in direct response to the exhibition, meaning poems that engage with and are inspired by visual art on view. “Poets, ever on the lookout for inspiration, appreciate the keen eyes of other types of artists to open them up to new ways of seeing the world,” Yatchisin said. “That’s why we are thrilled to turn our imaginations toward Patricia and Brett’s photographic compositions and Irene’s Papel Picado.” Featured photographer Patrick Clarke observed how the exhibition offers a broader lens on identity and belonging. “Taquerias expand our broader sensibility of not only what it means to feed oneself in America, but what it means to be an American.”

LA OFICINA DE ARTE Y CULTURA DEL CONDADO DE SANTA BÁRBARA invita a la comunidad a una recepción de cierre de Fare Trade y el icónico Papel Picado de Santa Bárbara el viernes 23 de enero de 5 a 7 p. m. en la Galería del Ayuntamiento de Santa Bárbara (City Hall Gallery, en 735 Anacapa St.). La recepción es gratuita y está abierta a todos los miembros de la comunidad. Fare Trade presenta fotografías de Patricia Clarke y Brett Leigh Dicks que documentan taquerías y comensales en el condado de Santa Bárbara y Australia Occidental. El icónico Papel Picado de Santa Bárbara es una instalación específica de Irene Ramírez inspirada en los monumentos y tradiciones locales. Juntas, las exposiciones resaltan el significado cultural de los espacios de comida compartida y el arte incrustado en entornos familiares. El evento de cierre también contará con una lectura de poesía en vivo organizada por George Yatchisin, poeta aclamado de la ciudad de Santa Bárbara, con lecturas de otros poetas aclamados locales, incluyendo Melinda Palacio y Chryss Yost. Las lecturas serán obras ekfrásticas escritas en respuesta directa a la exposición, es decir, poemas que interactúan y se inspiran en el arte visual exhibido. “Los poetas, siempre en busca de inspiración, aprecian los ojos agudos de otros tipos de artistas para abrirlos a nuevas formas de ver el mundo”, dijo Yatchisin. “Por eso, estamos encantados de dirigir nuestra imaginación hacia las composiciones fotográficas de Patricia y Brett y el Papel Picado de Irene”. El fotógrafo destacado Patrick Clarke observó cómo la exposición ofrece una perspectiva más amplia sobre la identidad y la pertenencia. “Las taquerías expanden nuestra sensibilidad más amplia no solo de lo que significa alimentarse en los Estados Unidos, sino de lo que significa ser estadounidense”.

The City Hall Gallery is located within Santa Barbara City Hall and offers a rotating platform for exhibitions that reflect local culture and civic life. Mo-Fr, 8am to 5pm. sbac.ca.gov/current-gallery-exhibitions

A Next Generation Jazz Legacy

Terence Blanchard and Ravi Coltrane Miles Davis and John Coltrane Centennial Tue, Jan 27 / 7:30 PM / Granada Theatre

“[Terence Blanchard’s] succinct solos are always filled with the right amount of rhythmic crackle and subtle nuance.” JazzTimes

“John Coltrane’s saxophonist son puts a clear distance between his own work and his late father’s by often playing spry and subtly crafted lines in a murmur rather than unleashing cloudbursts of sound.” The Guardian (U.K.)

Event Sponsors: Jody & John Arnhold and Susan & Bruce Worster

Jazz Series Lead Sponsor: Manitou Fund
