Taxing Time in Montecito
I
ts appropriate that tax season begins on April Fools Day and ends with
the international call for distress: May Day. Next week, a good portion
of the 5,163 Montecito taxpayers will troop to the post office or press
TurboTax to transfer an estimated $261 million to the federal government,
paying an average of $50,500 per tax filer in ZIP code 93108 or 93150. At
the same time, Montecito taxpayers will have shipped off $154 million to
Sacramento, averaging $30,000 per taxpayer. And, this week, 4,184 home-
owners in the Montecito Fire District will pay their second installment on
the $82 million in 2012 property taxes owed to the County of Santa Barbara,
an average of $19,500 per homeowner.
Added together, Montecito will remit a staggering $497 million in federal,
state and local property taxes ($99,800 per taxpayer). The combined federal
income, state income and county property taxes account for an estimated
54.5% of the average adjusted gross income (AGI) of $183,000 per tax return
in Montecito.
Add in state and local sales taxes, federal and state gasoline taxes, licenses
and permit fees, corporate taxes, payroll taxes to fund Social Security,
Medicare taxes, excise taxes, custom duties, inheritance taxes, alcohol taxes,
cigarette taxes and all the other taxes imposed on citizens to pay the cost of
government, and it seems obvious that Montecito taxpayers are paying at
least their fair share. What about the rest of the country? By any reasonable
yardstick, wealthy Americans are paying their fair share, and then some.
According to IRS tax data for 2010:
The top 1% of U.S. taxpayers, with an adjusted gross income of at least
$369,691, earned 19% of the nations income, but paid over 37% of the
nations income taxes. The top 5% of taxpayers paid more federal income
taxes than the remaining 95% combined.
The top 10% of U.S. taxpayers, with an AGI in excess of $116,623,
earned 45% of the nations income, but paid 71% of the nations income
taxes.
The top 50% of U.S. taxpayers, with an AGI of more than $34,338, paid
97.6% of all income taxes, while the bottom 50% of U.S. taxpayers who
earned less than $34,338 paid just 2.4% of all income taxes.

More To Come
In 2014, nearly 77% of all Americans will see a tax increase. The fiscal
cliff tax changes, which went into effect on January 1, 2013, hiked payroll
taxes to fund Social Security from 4.2% to 6.2% for all workers and employ-
ers. Top marginal rates for the successful go from 35% to 39.6% with a corre-
sponding phase-down in deductions. The tax on dividends and capital gains
rises from 15% to 20% for high earners. The Senate has passed its version of
the 2013-14 federal budget, calling for an additional $975 billion in unspeci-
fied new taxes over the next 10 years. It must be reconciled with the House
version that calls for zero tax increases.
In the State of California, the top 10% of taxpayers paid 74% of the state
income tax last year. With the passage of Prop 30 in November 2012, the top
3% of California taxpayers will pay 13.3% instead of the previous 10.3%. The
boost of three percentage points in rate is a 29% boost in taxes. California
now has the highest state tax rate in the nation, surpassing Hawaii. Prop
30 gives California the highest state sales tax rate in the nation at 7.5%.
Corporations will also see their taxes raised, reinforcing Californias reputa-
tion as the least desirable state in which to own or operate a business.
In the City of Santa Barbara, Mayor Helene Schneider in her State of the
City address on March 21, indicated she would like to see Santa Barbara add
a -cent increase to the current sales tax of 8%.
The push for ever-higher taxes in order to pay extravagant salaries and
benefits to federal, state, and city workers seems infinite. Most economists
concede, however, that higher marginal tax rates reduce the incentive to
work; they remove risk capital from the private sector; they dampen job
creation, and they depress economic growth. Perhaps we should heed the
advice of Benjamin Franklin when he wrote in Poor Richards Almanac, It
would be a hard government that should tax its people one-tenth part of
their income. What would Ben say about Montecitos average tax rate of
54.5%? Think about that on April 15, as you pay your fair share. MJ

Bruces Boeing 777 Adventure

Miscellany
by Richard Mineards
Richard covered the Royal Family for Britains Daily Mirror and Daily Mail before moving to New York
to write for Rupert Murdochs newly launched Star magazine in 1978; Richard later wrote for New York
magazines Intelligencer. He continues to make regular appearances on CBS, ABC, and CNN, and
moved to Montecito six years ago.
T
he 14 hour-plus 6,500 mile flight
from the West Coast to Hong
Kong is not for the faint heart-
ed, but it makes it a great deal more
palatable when you are one of the few
passengers on a Boeing 777, which has
a capacity of 550 people.
Montecito-based Beach Boy Bruce
Johnston and his band mates found
themselves in that enviable position
when they attended a dinner hosted
by Boeing at the Museum of Flight
in Seattle to celebrate the delivery
to Cathay Pacific Airlines of a new
300ER version of the long-range twin
engined jet, the 31st of 50 the 67-year-
old company has ordered.
John Slosar, the CEO of Cathay
Pacific, is an old friend and he invited
the band and crew to travel with him
on the delivery flight to Hong Kong,
where they are headquartered, says
Bruce Johnston and his CBS producer girlfriend,
Mattina Lloyd, posing on the rim of the Boeing
777s jet engine

Bruce. Before the plane departed the
following day, we had an amazing
tour of Boeings manufacturing facil-
ity in Everett, Washington.
Our flight was on a non-commer-
cial travel day and we only had a total
of forty guests on this huge plane. My
girlfriend, Mattina, and I were even
able to sit in the cockpit for the take
off!
As the plane does not have a first-
class section, everybody traveled in
business class.
The service was beyond perfect
and we certainly had a lot of room to
walk around during the flight, given
the hundreds of unoccupied seats.
The timing of the flight couldnt
have been better as the group was per-
forming at the Venetian Macao resort,
followed 16 hours later with a concert
at Hong Kong Stadium as part of the
popular Rugby Sevens event.
The tour continued with a perfor-
mance in Shanghai and four in Tokyo...
Lowe, Rob Lowe
Rob Lowe hasnt played James
Bond, but the 49-year-old actor isnt
above imitating him.
Longtime Montecito resident Rob
took flight with the help of a jet-
pack in Newport Beach last week
and was completely prepared for the
occasion in a wetsuit and helmet,
with the $68,500 German Jetlev equip-
ment on his back, like former 007s in
Thunderball and Die Another Day.
Launching himself, NBCs Parks and
Recreation star soared over the Pacific,
clearly enjoying his new found super-
hero powers.
Before he took off, though, he admit-
ted his trepidation.
Im appropriately, respectfully
frightened, he told Mens Journal.
But not enough to keep me from
doing it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The Value Of State Water
F
inding and delivering water to
the community is Montecito
Water Districts top priority.
Since the formation of the District in
1921, water supply reliability has
been a challenge. In 1973, the District
entered into a 20-year water supply
emergency. Water prices during this
two-decade-long water shortage rose
by 300-400%, with penalties for over-
use ranging from $30 per HCF, to
imprisonment and a $600 fine.
In 1991, the Montecito community
voted to join the State Water Project
because there was no other local water
available. The delivery of State Water
made it possible for the District to
rescind the water supply emergency
ordinance and return to lower water
rates.
The question is: Does the communi-
ty still receive value from State Water?
The simple answer is: yes, a tremen-
dous amount of value.
Without State Water, we would still
be in a water supply emergency. Each
and every year, the District receives
between 620 and 700 acre-feet of
State Water through a unique water
exchange agreement with a fellow
Cachuma Project member. This per-
manent addition to our water sup-
ply, along with our other supplies,
provides the District with the ability
to meet customer demand during nor-
mal years.
When periods of dry weather cause
higher water demand (as is the case
this year), the District orders direct
deliveries of State Water. This year
we are also receiving additional
State Water we have banked in the
Central Valley. Without these sources,
the District would have no choice but
to once again impose severe water
restrictions and costly penalties for
overuse.
A case in point is the Marin Municipal
Water District, an affluent community
north of San Francisco. Marin has a
single-family residential rate structure
similar to Montecitos. Marin, howev-
er, does not have a strong water sup-
ply portfolio, resulting in very high
rates beyond the first tier, with prices
nearly four times Montecitos highest
tier. The high rates are imposed to
force conservation.
Without State Water, the water rates
in Montecito would be similar to those
in Marin. State Water actually helps
keep our water rates lower con-
trary to what is being reported. Use
water wisely, because all Montecito
residents depend on every drop we
have, including State Water, to keep
our community green and beautiful.

A Wild Trail
I saw these yesterday and had
not noticed them before. They are
Montecitos very own wildflower trail
over on Old Coast Highway by the
roundabout. I thought you may have
a spot for them, as I had never noticed
them before but they are a pretty addi-
tion to our neighborhood!
JAmy Brown
Montecito
Home Cooked Odors
It was interesting to read Village
Beat (MJ # 19/12) about the new cot-
tage food law that would allow folks
to prepare baked goods, jams, jellies,
popcorn and other clearly defined
food products in their homes.
But I had to laugh when reading
some proposed limitations, including
verbiage that could limit noxious
cooking odors likely to become a nui-
sance.
Imagine that: the smell of freshly
baked bread or muffins, a pot of apri-
cots being stirred for jam or chocolate
being melted to make turtles or some
other such sweet confection, a nui-
sance? I cant imagine a more welcom-
ing odor than home cooking.
Which makes me wonder, is there
an ordinance about cigarette smoke
from neighbors houses?
Leslie A. Westbrook
Summerland
(Editors note: Nice catch, Ms
Westbrook! For libertarians such as we,
our observation is that once government
gets hold of an issue it never lets go.
Rules, restrictions, fines, and permits gen-
erally follow even the best of intentions.
And not to worry: some day there will be
an ordinance about cigarette smoke from
neighbors houses. J.B.)

How Much Will It Cost?
In reference to your ongoing dis-
cussion (Letters to the Editor, MJ #
19/11, 19/12): it is absurd for the USA
to sign on to a carbon tax or an all-out
assault on carbon emissions when
India and China are continuing to
increase the use of fossil fuels. Already,
we are no longer the worlds largest
polluter; China now emits more CO2
than we do. For California to have a
global warming policy is as absurd as
Santa Barbara having its own foreign
policy.
Something I always like to do is to
ask people to quantify. How much will
it cost and what will it do? Another
question is: If we do X can they guar-
antee Earths temperature will fall by
Y?
The predictions made by the climate
models 10 years ago have simply not
come true. But that has not convinced
supporters to think again; instead,
they have redoubled their efforts to
convince us about global warming.
It is important to realize how sel-
dom anyone changes their ideas once
they are firmly formed in their minds.
This applies to scientists just as much
as anyone else.
Generations ago, Max Planck wrote:
A scientific truth does not triumph
by convincing its opponents and mak-
ing them see the light, but rather
because its opponents eventually die
and a new generation grows up that is
familiar with it.
Christopher Columbus went to his
grave convinced he had discovered
China. Fred Hoyle, arguably one of
the most brilliant men of the 20th
century, believed in the Steady-State
Universe. He was never persuaded
of the Big Bang, even though just
about every contemporary cosmolo-
gist came to believe it, particularly
after Penzias discovered The Cosmic
Microwave Background Radiation.
Albert Einstein never believed in
quantum mechanics.
With Global Warming alarmists such
as Trenberth and Hansen, no mat-
ter how convincingly the data might
show they are wrong, they claim they
are scientific and they absolutely
know the truth, whereas they know

nothing of the kind. Can you imagine
them saying, for example, We are so
sorry, we made a mistake, billions and
billions have been misspent because
of our theories?
Do you appreciate that the whole
global warming brouhaha depends
entirely upon the numerical models?
There is no empirical evidence that
raising CO2 will cause the tempera-
ture of the earth to rise. You have to
make a model that shows that the
small amount of heat captured by this
small amount of carbon dioxide some-
how has an amplified effect to cause
significant warming. If the models are
wrong then the whole thing is wrong.
Having spent a lifetime working with
numerical models I am acutely aware
of their deficiencies. You can always
change some part of the model to get
the info you want. To have credibility,
what you must do is build a model
that forecasts the future and then have
that prediction come true. Of course
this simply has not happened.
As far as I can tell, a central fac-
tor in the Stock Market and Housing
Collapse of 2008 was the use of
numerical models to predict the value
of various financial instruments. It
turns out the models were wrong. If they
got the stock market wrong, what
reason is there to think they got the
weather right?
Please withhold my name: I live
and work among a group of True
Believers.

Prepping
For The next Drought
Thanks for the informative article
on Montecitos water issues (MJ #
12/12 & 12/13).
While it is widely accepted that
50% to 80% of all residential water
goes to landscape irrigation, what is
less frequently mentioned is that up
to 50% or more of that water is wast-
ed. It is wasted by broken or poorly
adjusted systems, and especially by
irrigating plants with more water than
they actually need. This overuse often
results in runoff or the percolation of
water to soil depths far below where
the plant roots can get it. This excess
water has been known to carry toxic
chemicals and bacteria into our creeks,
groundwater and the ocean.
Why would citizens of this envi-
ronmentally enlightened community
waste water? Most people, includ-
ing most landscape professionals,
decide how much and how often to
water by the seat of their pants. The
result is more often than not, playing
it safe and overwatering. Irrigation
systems are often operated by auto-
matic controllers, which, unless prop-
erly programmed and monitored, will
overwater landscapes on a regular
basis and usually at night when runoff
sneaks off, unnoticed.
One would think that even if people
didnt notice water waste in their gar-
dens, that they would notice it on their
water bills. The fact is that local resi-
dents pay somewhere between 1/2 to
3/4 of a cent for one gallon of potable
water; at that price, what is the finan-
cial incentive to save or even to take
water seriously? The math and tech-
nology for irrigating more efficiently
are available. The next drought is here
and before long, water rates will start
to go up.
Rob Lane
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: Right you are, Mr. Lane!
Part of the problem, as I see it, is that
many homeowners dont know where to go
or who to ask other than gardeners who
may or may not know what to do about
fixing their automated sprinkler and drip
systems. We never, for example, see any
advertising based upon this kind of exper-
tise. The betting here is that there is a
large and fruitful market out there wait-
ing to be informed and willing to spend
the money to fix whatever problems have
arisen over time. J.B.)
note From
An Independent
Being an Independent, I find some
of your continuous comments that
the right only wants to ensure the
vote when voter fraud has been
shown to occur less than one time per
state per year during the last decade
very transparent, and a turn-off to
Independents like myself. The right
isnt fooling anyone with that position
anymore.
Secondly, concerning Obamas birth
place, the argument from the right has
wrecked havoc on the image of the
Republican Party, and is the reason
specifically that my father a life-
long Republican has left the party,
and now claims Independent. A 2011
Washington/ABC News poll showed
only 10% of Americans believed
Obama was born in another country.
Is the Montecito Journal that far out of
the mainstream?
If you go to snopes.com, maybe the
definitive resource for myths, rumors
and misinformation, it says specifical-
ly that a promotional booklet put out
claiming Obama was born in Kenya,
has already been debunked by the edi-
tor who said the claim was an error,
and she was in fact never contacted by
Obama before publication of the small
booklet. As well, a 1990 New York Times
article published a year before the
Acton and Dystel promotional book-
let was issued, identified Obamas

Montecito Family
Helps Rebuild School
Village Beat
by Kelly Mahan

T
hree years ago, Montecito par-
ents Ginger Salazar and Brett
Matthews took their four kids
Skyler, Sumner, Parker, and Grace
to Tanzania, Africa, to volunteer
as part of their summer vacation.
This February, that same school, the
Orkeeswa School, named a new build-
ing in honor of 13-year-old Parker,
who, ever since that summer trip, has
made it his mission to raise money to
help support the underfunded school.
Im happy they named it after me,
thats pretty cool, but I think it should
be named the Santa Barbara Building
instead, Parker told us during an
interview last week. The Parker
Building was added to the school last
year, supported in part by donations
raised by Parker and his friends and
Parker
and Grace
Matthews at

in all sorts of fairytale garb. There
was even a side room photo op with
a long table set for the Mad Hatters
tea party, with cups that stuck to their
saucers and other hallucinations.
Marymount is a school for pre-kin-
dergarten through eighth grade, and
each grade had a class project to be
auctioned off. Some were presold and
the rest were priceless. There was a
school video, raffles and a live auc-
tion during and after dinner. Popular
items were a staycation at the newly
re-opened El Encanto, an Under the
Cheshire Moon Tea Garden Cocktail
Party for 30 couples and a precious
English cream retriever puppy with
champion pedigree lines.
Headmaster Andrew Wooden told
me, The proceeds of tonight will go
to faculty professional development,
new learning spaces and twenty-first
century technology. With 300 attend-
ees they raised about $375,000. Their
motto is, If you can imagine it, you
can achieve it. If you can dream it,
you can become it. William Arthur

I believe I saw Alice dancing with
the Mad Hatter just before she skipped
out the rabbit hole. And thats the end
of the fairytale until next year.
Women Of Inspiration
Girls Inc. of Carpinteria held its
annual Garden to Table celebra-
tion in honor of three Women of
O
nce upon a time a little girl
name Alice fell down a rab-
bit hole and the magic began.
When Marymount School parents
and friends arrived at the Montecito
Country Club, instead of the usual
door, there was a rabbit hole. After
crawling through it, the magic began.
Marymount threw a fundraiser that
wont soon be forgotten and we spent
an evening with the Mad Hatter and
all his friends, including Tweedle
Dum, Tweedle Dee, and the Queen of
Hearts. The green caterpillar (a man
painted green, I think) was sitting atop
a six-foot-tall mushroom smoking a
hookah. I didnt see the Cheshire Cat,
but Im sure he was there. It was all
the brainchild of co-chairs Kamala
Parris and Vivienne Ninness and
decorating chairs Cynthia Copeland
and Kari Ann Gerlach, who received
a standing ovation.

Inspiration: Beth Cox, Dorothy
Largay and Pamela Lewis. The co-
chairs Kathleen de Chadenedes, Nini
Seaman and Sandra Tyler did an
expert job of turning the gym into a
charming dining room. This year was
a picnic theme with blue check table-
cloths and umbrellas scattered about.
At each place was a fresh edible plant
to take home to grow and eat.
Beth Cox has followed her par-
ents active community volunteerism
beginning at SBCC with Shelter
Services for Women. While attend-
ing San Francisco State, the Mayor
Willie Brown honored her for creat-
ing a Domestic Violence Prevention
Program for the public schools in San
Francisco. After returning from San
Francisco, she worked here in that
field and at the Santa Barbara Rape
Crisis Center. When her father died
from melanoma cancer, she chaired
the Carpinteria Relay for Life, raising
more than $100,000 in the past four
years.
Dorothy Largay is founder and CEO
of Linked Foundation in Carpinteria,
which is dedicated to alleviating
poverty by improving the health of
women in Latin America. She told
me, I travel to South America at least
three times a year. Her work has
helped over 150,000 women and their
families. Further, The problems are
too big to think small, says Dorothy.
Eureka scholarship program invests
in girls to prepare them for college
and is a core program that Linked also
supports. And the list goes on.
Pamela Lewis always knew she
could do and be anything she want-
ed. She joined the Hutton Foundation
in May 1996 as executive director. She
is liaison between grant applicants
and funding selection committees,
advocacy for applicants, evaluation
and management of new and special
initiatives and much more. She has
held board positions for many local
nonprofit organizations, including
Girls Inc. of Carpinteria.
All these honorees help our girls
learn that they too can be strong,
smart and bold. That goes for the
inspirational speaker Sarah Elizabeth
Ippel as well. She came all the way
from Chicago to tell her story. She had
earned a Masters of Philosophy at the
University of Cambridge in England
and then traveled to over 80 countries
across six continents to learn their
educational philosophies. Her lifes
mission became education reform
and at age 23 she rode her bicycle
to the Chicago Board of Education
with a simple request: to reimagine
what is possible in public education
today. It took three years, but in 2008
the Academy for Global Citizenship
opened in a former dental tool factory
on the citys underserved southwest
side.
Andrea Delgado has attended Girls
Inc. since kindergarten and she is
now president of her senior class in

Carpinteria, crediting her success
to the club. Thirteen year old Maria
Zamora participated last summer in
Eureka, which sends kids to UCSB for
four weeks to participate in a variety of
events and to make them comfortable
on a college campus. Maria laughed
and told of a solar experiment they
did. When there was no sun it still
melted the smores and nachos. She
returns again this summer.
Girls Inc. executive director Victoria
Juarez is justifiably proud of the
groups accomplishments. Out of
eighteen scholarships given across
the country, five of them went to
Carpinteria. Each won $500, which
was put in trust for them to use for
college.
Past president of the board of trust-
ees Craig Price told the audience,
Unfortunately there are more girls
that could benefit, but there often
arent enough scholarships for those
that cant pay. It costs about $100 per
week for after school enrichment. If
anyone would like to contribute, there
is a whole wish list. Call 684-6364 for

Romance To Reality
The Visiting Professor of Surgery
Endowment Fund was established in
December 2012 by Ron Latimer, MD
(Emeritus) and Sansum Clinic. For one
week each year a prominent national
or international surgeon is invited to
Santa Barbara to lecture and mentor
practicing local surgeons and general
surgical residents. This years guest
was a world-renowned professor of
surgery, Hiram C. Polk, MD, from
Louisville, Kentucky. During his 34
years as Chairman of the Department
of Surgery there, this icon trained
more than 230 general surgeons. As
Dr. Latimer said, We bring in an
expert so we can pick his brains.
Dr. Polk also gave two lectures open
to the public and donors in Burtness
Auditorium at Cottage Hospital.
During one talk they were having
technical difficulties with the com-
puter images. Sansum CEO and Chief
Medical Officer Dr. Kurt Ransohoff
wanted us to know, The guy who
fixed the glitch was no other than
Chief Resident of General Surgery
at Cottage Steve Chang, M.D. It just
proves that general surgeons can, in
fact, do anything!
Dr. Polks talk was not about surgery
but about the horse world: Romance
to Reality: Thoroughbred Breeding
and Racing in the 21
st
Century. He
quoted Reagans famous line, There
is something about the outside of a
horse that is good for the inside of a
man.
Dr. Polks avocation has always been
the breeding and raising of thorough-
bred horses. It began during medical
school when he worked at Suffolk
Downs and contributed writings to
The Thoroughbred Record.
Horse racing began about a thou-
sand years ago when the Bedouins
would race their horses in the des-
ert. In this century there is a chal-
lenge with the Kentucky bloodlines
by overseas breeding particularly
France and Germany. Dr. Polk is also
concerned about the questionable
medicinal usages in present day horse
racing. Some owners and vets are just
trying to get one more race out of a
horse. The doctor works with various
groups, hoping to improve the condi-
tions.
The audience crossed the street to
Sansums waiting room for a recep-
tion complete with wine, delicious
bites and the unveiling of a donor
board for the Visiting Professor of
Surgery Endowment Fund. MJ

Eyes on Hadley
Los Angeles-based food writer
Hadley Tomicki has been getting his
moment in the spotlight.
Hadley, the 36-year-old son of
Montecito travel writer Bill Tomicki,
appeared in a lengthy feature on culi-
nary scribes in the L.A. Times.
He launched Grub Street L.A. for
New York Magazine where I was a con-
tributing editor on the Intelligencer
column three years ago, and has
done 7,500 posts online.
Hadley tells writer Randy Clemens
it is not uncommon for him to be
working six or seven days a week a lot
of the time.
Funnily enough, I still spend a lot
of my free time stuffing my face and
trying to catch up with new restau-
rants and old favorites... I love explor-
ing L.A., which just keeps giving and
getting bigger and more interesting as
you branch out of your comfort zones.
I feel very fortunate to have a job
where I learn something new every
day. Its like a school dedicated to the
senses. Cuisine is art, cooking is sci-
ence, food is culture, history and agri-
culture, biology, anthropology, and
even fashion. All these things.
Food is a subject that just pulls you
in deeper and deeper. Once you think
youve learned something, you only
realize just how much more you have
to learn.
No doubt Bill, who publishes the
Entree travel newsletter, would agree...
CSI: Montecito
The normally sedate Peppers care
home in Montecito, just a tiaras toss
from the estates of actress Drew
Barrymore and Law & Order produc-
er, Dick Wolf, turned into a crime
show set when Santa Barbara Police
Departments Crisis Negotiation
Response Team staged a mock train-
ing exercise at the property.
The interactive spectacle was better
than live theater for the seniors and
excellent real world training for the
police, says David Sullins, owner of
the home.
The training exercise started when
crisis team members were dispatched
to deal with an elderly man suffering
dementia who had barricaded himself
in and threatening to hurt himself.
Adding to the drama was the fact the
senior only spoke Swedish.
Taking it all in were the homes
other seniors.
They were totally engrossed and
thrilled with the action, adds David.
No movie show could ever match
the drama, comedy and suspense that
occurred. To see the officers in action

Costellos Karma Chow
Santa Barbara author Melissa
Costello describes her new tome, The
Karma Chow: Ultimate Cookbook, as a
smorgasbord of planet friendly fare.
I fought multiple diseases during
my New Jersey childhood, Melissa
told me at a launch bash at Tecolote,
the tony tome temple in the Upper
Village.
I gave up eating red meat at nine-
teen and started experimenting with
healthy plant-based food. Five years
ago I started Karma Chow and became
a personal chef to fitness guru, Tony
Horton, who developed the popular
P90X boot camp style exercise system.
There are more than one hundred
and twenty-five plant-based vegan
recipes in the book with no sugar,
no gluten, nothing processed and no
tofu.
Melissa, who took a year to com-
plete her project, is also the creator
of The Vital Life 30-Day Food Based
Cleanse, which has become popular
among Hollywood celebrities, as well
as followers worldwide, and also co-
hosts the online cooking and yoga
series, Food & Flow...
Remembering Betsy
One of the worlds first supermod-
els, Betsy Pickering Kaiser, was
remembered by friends at a lunch at
Tre Lune, one of her favorite watering
holes, the other day.
Betsy was at Sarah Lawrence College
in Bronxville, New York, when she
was signed up by the top Eileen Ford
agency and became a firm fashion
photographer favorite, including leg-
endary shutterbug Richard Avedon,
who was played by Fred Astaire in
the 1957 Stanley Donen film classic,
Funny Face, with Audrey Hepburn.
Id known Betsy for more than
forty years after meeting in New York,
where we both lived, says Carolyn
Amory, who joined Susan St. John,
Barbara Woods and Joan Benson to
reminisce.
She was charming, warm and
friendly. Instantly likable. She was
also amazingly chic and at the height
of her long career as a top model in
America and Europe.
Betsy was also on Eleanor
Lamberts famous best dressed list for
many years. An extremely kind, gra-
cious and generous person.
Barbara, a former advertising agen-
cy executive in Manhattan, first dealt
with her professionally and over time
became a good friend.
Betsy had an incredible lifestyle,
modeling for Dior and hanging out
with Halston. She just had that look
and a total charisma. She was the best
dressed woman I had ever known.
She grew with the times. It made her
seem younger.
And she loved Tre Lune and wed
all get together for lunch every couple
of months or so. I think it reminded
her of New York.
An enormous character, much
missed...
Chocolate de Vine
Santa Barbara Womans Club was
jammed with 225 sweet tooths and
oenophiles when the Rape Crisis
Center threw its fifth annual Chocolate
de Vine bash, raising around $40,000
for the 39-year-old charity.
It has really become increasingly
popular over the years, says execu-
tive director Elsa Granados.
We certainly need all the help we
can get with numbers skyrocketing
because of the bad economy. Sadly,
our case loads are increasing.
The gastronomic gala, emceed by
Sean English, also featured an auc-
tion, with prizes including a stay at
a home in Spain and a behind-the-
scenes private tour of Hearst Castle.
Nine chocolatiers. including
Renaud Gonthier, Suzon Bishop and
Marc Borowitz, joined 12 local winer-
ies for the bountiful bash, with three
judges, Jean-Michel Carree, Indera
Mortensen and Lys Gabriella Poet,
rating the best offerings.
Scrumptious!...
Easter Feast
Santa Barbaras Rescue Mission
got a bumper crop of guests for its
annual Easter Feast.
Having changed the time of the
meal to avoid it clashing with other
Easter events, more than 200 people
turned out to enjoy the bountiful
repast of ham, green bean casserole
and macaroni and cheese, topped off
with poached pears and chocolate
cake.
As usual, I joined 20 other volun-
teers waiting and cleaning tables in
the festively decorated hall, while
executive director Rolf Geyling
joined in with his two sons, Chris
and Max, and daughter, Olivia.
It costs only $1.50 to give one
guest a meal and it really is appre-

LETTERS (Continued from page 9)
birth place as Hawaii according to
snopes.com. Even the rights former
hero the fiery Andrew Bartlett said
Obama was born in Hawaii.
The right should take a hint from
Jeb Bush at the recent CPAC confer-
ence when he said, Too often were
associated with anti-everything. Way
too may people believe Republicans
are anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-
science, anti-gay, anti-worker, and the
list goes on and on and on. He didnt
say this because of a messaging prob-
lem the right has. He said it because
the Republican Party has literally been
taken hostage by the extreme fringe
elements of the movement. Even Newt
Gringrich chastised Republicans for
their anti-idea approach to govern-
ing.
You can say that Republicans are
just filibustering because theyre on
the other side of the aisle. Dissent and
disagreement are fundamental to our
democracy. But your crazy fringe has
turned your party into something that
basically doesnt function anymore; so
much so that your own leaders have
found it necessary to ring the alarm
bells.
Sue Kelsey
Montecito
(Editors note: Thank you for your let-
ter. If Voter ID is a turn-off, then
well agree to disagree. Wed opt for a
one-day voting day with no absentee or
mail-in ballots (other than military) and
purple ink at the polls with which to dunk
voters thumbs into.
How does writing that because of a
promotional brochure put out by Mr.
Obamas literary agency touting their
Kenyan-born writer, Barack Obama,
there are some who dont want to give that
up, become the Montecito Journal being
far out of the mainstream? There are
people who do not want to give up on the
idea that our president was not born on
U.S. soil. Apparently, there are many in
Kenya who believe he was born in Kenya.
So what? Hes our president, duly elected.
As for the statement that the Republican
Party basically doesnt function any-
more, what does that say for all the
states that have turned to Republican
leadership over the last decade? We do
agree that, at least in states such as
California, the Republican Party really
does not function anymore. As for us,
less spending, less agreement, and more
arguing means less lawmaking, which
translates into retaining what few free-
doms there are left for individuals. If that
means the crazy fringe is in charge,
well, thats okay by us. J.B.)
Direct Address
I have no problem responding to
Mr. Ralph T. Iannelli, and even shall
address him as Mr. Iannelli, even with
the odd insinuation from him that my
addressing him previously as the
writer (Campaigner In Chief MJ
# 19/13) which is standard practice
in letters to the editor was either
somehow disrespectful or flippant,
which it of course was not.
Mr. Iannelli claims that Democrats
are more likely than Republicans to all
sing from the same hymn book. Ask
100 Republicans and 100 Democrats
who this is more true of: guaran-
teed, most on both sides would say
the other are the true guilty party.
Both sides have great weaknesses and
great strengths something most on
both sides would also disagree with;
and would certainly contradict Mr.
Iannellis statement that I believe all
Republicans are incapable of holding
different views on different subjects.
Mr. Iannelli also unfortunately states,
I am sorry you think Republicans
are uncaring, mean-spirited, greedy
folks who only take and do not give
back. Nowhere did I say that, and
have never believed that. Republicans
do honorable, great work giving to
charity, and is their way of contribut-
ing and making a difference. Liberals
are seen maybe more as ones whose
emphasis is pushing the arts, the sci-
ences, attending to the malleable in
myriad ways that have benefitted our
society and our world, and that is
their way of contributing and giving
back. Again, both sides have great
strengths.
Mr. Iannelli brings up Voter ID laws,
and wonders how they could stifle
Democrats, claiming minorities, the
poor and younger voters voted in
greater numbers in 2012. This issue
was a rallying cry and motivator
for Democrats to get to the polls,
after Republicans, knowing full well
approximately 11% of Americans 23
million of voting age lacked proper
photo ID, disproportionately affecting
low-income, minorities, and younger
voters those statistically shown to
lean Democrat. (Political strategists,
knowing many of these laws could be
struck down, took their chances any-
way this last election.)
Mr. Iannelli asserts well known
Dems dont know how to compro-
mise. Its now known and none have
denied it that on Obamas inaugura-
tion day 2009, a group of Republicans,
including Newt Gingrich, Paul Ryan
and Eric Cantor as written by New
York Times magazine contributor
Robert Draper conspired to under-
mine and sabotage Americas econ-
omy (think phony debt ceiling crisis
which led to the financial downgrade
of America, when Republicans never
previously had a problem raising the
debt ceiling) as well as obstructing
Obama legislatively (think record fili-
busters) while of course cementing
their position as the Party of No. (Mr.
Iannelli fails to address any of this.)
Mr. Iannelli asks about Simpson-
Bowles. Its always a fascinating
thing when Republicans complain
Democrats arent cleaning up the
financial disaster fast enough that
Republicans put this country in over
the last decade. Republican Alan
Simpson of Simpson-Bowles was cor-
rect when he said Obamas endorse-
ment of the plan would have never
won over Republicans, and might
have been toxic. He stated when it
came to Obama, Their venom is even
better than rattlesnake fangs. Mr.
Obama did endorse some parts of the
plan, despite Mr. Iannellis statement.
In the end, Obama should have fought
harder.
Im proud that this country
through all its weaknesses has real-
ized the GOP has only been working
for themselves after putting this coun-
try in the worst financial shape since
the Great Depression. And through all
of it, amazingly, we get Republicans

From the recent Downton Abbey to cinematic adaptations

Gaskell, British costume dramas continue to appeal to
American audiences. Cinematography, set design, and
costumes all make these period pieces enjoyable.

of these visual forms and also how films provide insight

Words From Welches
Hello to all at the Montecito Journal!
I miss seeing the MJ on a regular
basis, but I happened to be in town
last week and was delighted to see
that Andy Granatelli was your cover
boy. It made me go back into the
archives and pull out a photo that
Andy was kind enough to pose for
as he tooled around the classic car
show in Carpinteria. He was wonder-
ful then, and it is good to know that
he is still so much loved. Give my best
regards to all the staff at Montecito
Journal.

trician and golfer who lived in Santa

Last Minute Changes
I have been surprised by the recent
last-minute efforts to change the
Highway 101 plans through Montecito
by the Montecito Association and an
organization named Common Sense
101. They have a lot of funding, and
are well organized.
I wonder where all these folks were
last year when the public meetings
were held with Caltrans to discuss
this project with their project man-
ager and engineers. I attended a very
informative and well planned meet-
ing in April of last year where many
Montecito community members
attended to become well informed
and gave feedback. The meeting was
held at the Montecito Country Club
and well advertised in the community
ahead of time.
I do agree that this project is going to
be a pain for Montecito residents while
it is under construction. However, this
project, once done, will be something
we deal with and use for the rest of
our lives, and probably for the rest of
our childrens lives, so it is important
to be done correctly. Thus, arguments
by Common Sense 101 on the over-
all length of time it will take for the
project to be completed are not as
important as the final product being
built with the best possible final out-
come. Also, while commendable, on
an approximately $300 million dollar
project, their goal of saving Caltrans
$50 million of already allocated high-
way funds is not as important as
doing the project properly and for the
best final outcome for the next genera-
tion to use.
Now, I share some of the concerns
voiced by Common Sense 101, but
not all of their views.
I agree with their list of unaddressed
safety and congestion issues:
1) Olive Mill southbound on-ramp
short merge safety and congestion
issues;
2) San Ysidro southbound off-ramp
safety and congestion issue;
3) San Ysidro/Posilipo southbound
on-ramp extreme safety issue and
congestion when Miramar rebuild.
However, I have read their brochure
and read their entire web site, and I do
not see any plans on how they would
address these unaddressed safety and
congestion Issues listed above.
I would love for Caltrans and
SBCAG to modify their plans to
address these concerns. Yet I would
also love Common Sense 101 to
have better plans and maps to explain
to me how their plans would fix
these unaddressed safety and conges-
tion Issues.
One of the main disastrous ideas of
the Community Coalition Alternative
(CCAP) plan is to change the Los
Patos off-ramp to a southbound on-
ramp. This is a bad idea, as now all
southbound traffic coming from the
tourist lodging of the Santa Barbara
waterfront will have to wait in line,
and make a left turn across oncoming
traffic of Cabrillo Blvd.
The alternate Caltrans plan of add-
ing a Cabrillo Blvd southbound on-
ramp that this Santa Barbara water-
front traffic could take a right turn to
access makes a lot more sense.
Another problem I have with the
CCAP plan is in their belief that keep-
ing fast-lane on-ramps are fine. I
believe fast-lane on-ramps are unsafe,
and furthermore, cause traffic to slow
down and back up when the freeway
is busy. People are not ready for vehi-
cles merging into them in the freeway
fast lane, and thus brake, and cause
the freeway to back up when the free-
way is congested. People deal with
vehicles merging from their right, into
the freeway slow lane, in a much more
traffic friendly and efficient manner.
Thus, the Caltrans plan to replace the
fast lane on-ramp is a good plan, and
the plan to keep the fast lane on-ramp
at Sheffield by CCAP is not smart.
Thank you for considering my
input.
Sincerely,
Blair Whitney

(Editors note: You must be numbered
among the few residents who really under-
stand all that has been proposed, and your
misgivings and concerns are right on the
money. Please continue to attend what-
ever meetings Caltrans, SBCAG, or the
Montecito Association have on this issue, as
you really know your stuff and Montecito
seriously needs your input. J.B.)

Control of Our Lives
I attended the Board of
Supervisors meeting on Tuesday,
The Supes voted 3-2 to implement a
Climate Action Plan that included a
15% reduction in carbon emissions.
Although the plan had 5 options,
the board was led and pressured
by Supervisor Carbajal to accept
option 4, which included manda-
tory energy audits with required
fixes, new renewable requirements
for new houses and developments,
and mandatory audits and fixes
when selling a house. (toilets, show-
erheads, heaters, duct joints, fau-
cets).
Option 4 is costly, intrusive,
and violates our private property
rights. Even more troubling, the
entire plan was financed by SCE,
the Gas Company, and an undis-
closed grant. At the hearing, one
environmental group after anoth-
er spoke, so I assume they are
involved also.
Get informed citizens of Santa
Barbara County. Who will pay for
this and what are the costs (not
revealed)? What will happen if some-
one cannot afford the audits and
fixes? Why are people in unincorpo-
rated area only affected (not cities +
Vandenberg)?
What will it take for you to wake
up? Once again the government is try-
ing to control our lives.

Just Between Us
J
eremy Tessmer, the Gallery
Director at Sullivan Goss, has curat-
ed an exhibit with a provocatively
fresh statement for the traditionally
inclined gallery. The new show open-
ing April 4 at the Vollmer Gallery
titled Just Between Us is a group show
of three artists Wesley Anderegg,
Rafael Perea de la Cabada and Maria
Rendon, each with different mediums
and personal inspirations. Influences
noted in their works range from sur-
realism to core Latino narrative art in
a modernist fashion.
Perea is well known in Santa Barbara
for his pieces of art throughout our
town, in addition to prime commis-
sions for the city, such as his ceramic
tile works that decorate the sidewalks
of Cabrillo Boulevard (which he did
with Richard Irvine), and as faculty
in the Fine Arts Department at Santa
Barbara City College. Marias fine art
has seen the walls of the Santa Barbara
Museum of Art, Westmont Ridley-Tree
Museum of Art, Contemporary Arts
Forum, Atkinson Gallery at SBCC,
and now Lotuslands current Swarm
Exhibit, all while pursuing her MFA
from UCSB. Wesleys playful sculp-
tures from various materials yielded a
prolific 22 solo exhibitions in 26 years.
Heres what the artists shared in my
preview of the works during its instal-
lation on Sunday:

Q. Jeremy, what was your inspiration
to bring these artists and the works they
are showing together in one show, and
does the art collectively have a message?
Jeremy: Putting these three together
was an intuitive move. They dont
quite all go together, but there are
interesting intersections between
Rafael and Maria Rendon and Rafael
and Wesley Anderegg. Getting from
Wesley to Maria requires a big leap,
but thats what makes the exhibi-
tion so fun and challenging. Narrative
art is not dead. Personal history and
imagination still have vital roles to
play in contemporary art practice.
Highly personal work can still reach
a very wide audience if artists employ
abstraction, either through reduction,
characterization, or generalization. It
is that layer of uncertainty of ambi-
guity that abstraction creates that
lets others enter the work, care about
it, maybe even project their own pri-
vate stories into it.
Maria, after viewing your works in the
show, what would you hope and wish the
viewers feel about your works individual-
ly and also collectively as a group exhibit?
Maria: I would like the viewer of
my work to fill in the blanks and instill
meaningful metaphors. I want them to
create their own realities. I value the
dialogue between the viewer and my
paintings.
Maria, Wesley and Rafael, how do the
works in this exhibit speak about your
life? Is your artist statement purely per-
sonal, or do you feel the viewer can
relate to the life elements you wish to
convey?
Maria: The works in this exhibition
stem from a personal experience and
were initially meant to build con-
nections with my paralyzed (now
deceased) mother: bridging the dis-
tance that exists between her and me.
Her condition triggered me to explore
the space between perception and
reality. The impression of what is
not there interests me as much as
what is there.
Rafael: The more personal the more
universal.
Wesley: I make what I am interested
in. It can be personal, social, politi-
cal, environmental, no topic is out of
bounds.
Rafael, given the noted surrealistic
influence in the art, would you say it is
intentional, and what or who would you
say is your strongest inspiration or who
moved you toward that direction? Is this
style of expression typical for you, or a
new experience in your growth as an art-
ist?
Rafael: Art labels are a
futile attempt to catalog and
explain the unexplainable.
I do not subscribe to any movement.
We all are one of a kind and respond
to life influences differently. The artist
function is not to look for answers but
to open new avenues for questioning.

In Tanzania, children can go to pri-
mary school for free, but they must
pay for high school, a major financial
burden for some families in the poor
country. The donations benefit a non-
profit called Indigenous Education
Foundation of Tanzania, which funds
the Orkeeswa School.
The Matthews family originally set
out to raise enough money to spon-
sor a student at the school for a year,
which costs about $2,400 and covers
such expenses as tuition, clothing,
supplies, and basic living needs for
students families. But their efforts
have far surpassed the goal; in the
last three years they have raised over
$50,000 through two concert picnic
events, bake sales, lemonade stands,
and the sale of handmade necklaces.
In addition to providing scholar-
ships for three students, the funds
have also helped with teacher salaries,
furniture, supplies, books, and food
costs. And most recently, the money
went to help build a new wing of the
school, The Parker Building. The
Matthews family was at the school
during the dedication of the building,
which contains new classrooms for
the 150 students, many of whom walk
several hours each day to attend the
school. The family brought with them
bags of supplies that members of the
community have donated.
Several other Montecito families
have also jumped on board, sponsor-
ing students and helping with fund-
raising events. Laird and Christian
Fowler, Faith Kelly, Sophia and Julia
Fay, and Grace Matthews have all
made an impact, Parker says.
Later this month, Zodos Bowling &
Beyond in Goleta will sponsor a fun-
draising night, with part of the pro-
ceeds going to the Orkeeswa School,
Parker says. The event is organized by
Parkers ethics class at Marymount; a
date is to be determined.
Parker says fundraising for the
school will continue to be a big part
of his life; he hopes to visit the school
annually, and help facilitate student
sponsorships. Im motivated by the
kids there. They are passionate to
learn and go to school, and I want to
help them do that, he says.

Land Use
Hears Dispute
Several neighbors of Casa del
Herrero, as well as several Casa board
members and executive director
Molly Baker, attended the Montecito
Association Land Use Committee
meeting earlier this week. They came
to discuss parking at the historic land-
mark, located on East Valley Road.
Parking on the property has always
been a concern, Ms Baker said to
the group. The Casa is permitted to
have 14 spaces on the site, with three
of those located to the east of the
caretakers cottage. Neighbors have
complained, however, that the area
near the caretakers cottage has been
over utilized for parking, and as many
as 50 cars have been counted there
on one or more occasions. The area
backs up to several homes located on
Pimiento Lane.
The Casas Conditional Use Permit
allows 11 parking spaces at the main
entrance, and overflow parking at El
Montecito Presbyterian Church dur-
ing large events, which are capped at
six per year. A shuttle is provided dur-
ing those events to facilitate parking
further away.
Derek Westen, a Santa Barbara land
use attorney, is representing a few of
the neighbors, who say their proper-
ties have been impacted from ille-
gal parking on the west lot. Other
neighbors defended Casa, saying the
historic estate has always been a good
neighbor.
While there is no formal litigation,
a complaint has been filed with the
county for a recent violation of the
Casas CUP. That complaint is being
reviewed by County Planning. Baker,

Update on Coast
Village Signs
In a recent Letter to the Editor (MJ
#19/12), reader Bob Latham asked
us about the maintenance of the signs
located on either end of Coast Village
Road. The signs are not maintained
by Coast Village Business Association,
according to CVBA president Danny
Copus, although the association some-
times decorates them for the holidays.
We are just as upset as the com-
munity about the signs, Copus tells
us. The wood signs, located near
Starbucks and near Montecito Inn,
have dilapidated over the years, and
are in need of repair or replacement.
The sign issue joins a list of other
problems on Coast Village Road,
including parking, sidewalk repairs,
and the need for a roundabout on the
Olive Mill end, Copus says.
In response to Lathams letter, Copus
has contacted City Councilmember
Grant House and Mayor Helene

times like Easter, he says.
Rebecca Weber, the 48-year-old
charitys media director, described
the turnout as a record....
7 Fingers
Montreals 11-year-old circus com-
pany, Les 7 Doigts de la Main, which
literally translates to the seven fin-
gers of the hand, made its Santa
Barbara debut at the Granada with
its show Traces, one of seven in its
gymnastic repertoire.
The high energy urban flavored
show, which combined European-
style circus acrobatics with smart
street moves, showed the performers
six men and one woman exhibit-
ing extraordinary levels of strength,
coordination and agility using aerial
straps, skateboards, chairs and bas-
ketballs.
The explosive but intimate pro-
duction, part of the popular UCSB
Arts & Lectures series, was set to
music from a variety of contempo-
rary artists, including Blackalicious
and Radiohead, while the gymnasts
introduced themselves individually
against an abstract urban backdrop.
Much use was made of closed-cir-
cuit TV, which even filmed audience
members entering the auditorium
on a screen set up at the back of the
stage, as well as showing the action
from above.
They were all deservedly given a
big hand.
How appropriate!...
Standing O for Ogres
Shrek: The Musical, which trans-
lated from a hugely successful
Hollywood animated feature to
a major Broadway show, hit the
Granada stage 48 hours later.
And, like its principal green-hued
ogre character, it was a monster
smash, thoroughly entertaining all
age groups packing the venerable
theater.
Of particular note was the dragon,
a giant puppet manipulated by a
team of four in black, and more mar-
ionettes, somewhat smaller in scale,
added to the ingenious production.
One of the high spots was Christian
Marriner as Lord Farquaad, a verti-
cally challenged villainous charac-
ter in a costume outfitted with two
short puppet legs upfront while he
is down on his knees behind them,
which brought enormous guffaws
from both adults and children alike.
The show, presented by the Theater
League, really was an absolute hilar-
ious hoot...
Sleeping Pretty
Its not your normal type of royal
souvenir, be it a china mug or a pho-
tographic book on Queen Elizabeth
and her many relatives.
At around $175,000 the new royal
mattress, which has just gone on sale
at Londons Kensington Palace this
week, is certainly a worthy memento
fit for a princess.
The limited edition piece, made by
British manufacturer, Savoir Beds,
is certainly the height of opulence
and only 60 will be made, given
each mattress takes a staggering 700
hours to make.
According to reports, theres
enough specially woven silk to
stretch between New York and
Miami and almost halfway back
again more than 1,600 miles worth.
Buyers can have their own fam-
ily crest, initials or favorite emblem
embroidered into the mattress,
which already has a four-month
waiting list.
The royal bed, Im told, is inspired
by 17th and 18th century British
beds, when royal bedrooms were
built to impress.

Give Till It Hurts?
State Street Spin

M
y long time buddy Scott
Burns well-known civic
leader around town is short
a kidney. Thirty years ago, unbeliev-
ably, he was shot while being a good
Samaritan and helping a woman, and
lost one kidney in the process. Now
his remaining kidney is on the blink,
and hes looking for someone with a
spare.
So here is what Scott and his lovely
wife, Lisa, have brought about.
They decided to draw peoples
attention to the entire issue of tissue.
On Saturday, April 13, there will be
a forum on Organ Donation at First
United Methodist Church (located on
the corner of Garden and Anapamu
streets) from 2 to 4 pm, with a panel
of doctors and nurses, donors and
recipients to discuss all aspects of
organ donation. Dispelling the myths
(I think its against my religion,
Im too old to be a donor, or Wont
all the wealthy celebrities get first
pick?) will be part of the education
process.
This is a great idea, and has the
potential to literally be a real life-
saver for many families. Think about
it, how remarkable that a deceased
donor can save up to eight lives
through the harvesting of the heart,
lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas and
small intestine.
The goal of Saturday is also to
start a Kidney chain here in Santa
Barbara. Scott will kick off the chain
by proffering his brothers kidney!
His brother is not a transplant match
for Scott, but could be for another if a
swap or paired donation could be
arranged. And thats how the chain
will get started.

Chicken Little Was
Right!
Santa Barbara is home and host to
the most fascinating people, projects
and programs.
Recently I was at an intimate gath-
ering two dozen people? at the
home of Simon Raab to hear about
a most extraordinary project being
launched (appropriate choice of
words). The project has to do with
incredible technology to basically
find asteroids and nudge them out of
orbit years ahead of time before they
crash into the earth and wipe out the
planet. That, at least, is the Readers
Digest version.
The longer version is there is a
foundation named B612 (after the
planet of The Little Prince, by Antoine
de Saint-Exupry). Its mission is to
build a space telescope called the
Sentinel with a 5.5-year mission to
map out all large asteroids swimming
around deep space and to calculate if
and when their orbits might collide
unpleasantly with our planet. And
then nudge them out of that trajec-
tory years ahead of time before they
crash into the earth and wipe out the
planet.
If you are wondering, Well, who
are these people some kind of rocket
scientists? You would be right. The
Chairman and CEO is Ed Lu, a former
NASA astronaut who flew three space
missions and spent six months on the
International Space Station. Another
team player is NASA astronaut Rusty
Schweickart, who was on the Apollo
9 mission, and was the first lunar
module pilot.
The impressive Julian Nott (who
has set a zillion aeronautical records
and is a member of the American
Institute of Aeronautics) arranged for
his good friend Ed Lu to make a
presentation locally to interested phi-
lanthropists and intrigued local sci-
entists. A reception was organized
handily by his wife, Anne Luther, at
the Raab home. Speaking to us there,
Dr. Lu knocked our interplanetary
socks off, not simply with the overall
idea and how to make it a reality, but
that he could make it sound so exciting
and so comprehensible. (If we can put a
man on the moon, then there should
be a way to package Dr. Lu and have
him installed in science classrooms
across the country. We could trans-
form Americas next generation into
potential scientists.)
The B612 (sounds like an intergalac-
tic vitamin) will be raising over $20
million for the first phase to put this
in place by 2018, ideally. As our host
Simon Raab so eloquently put it, All
projects start with people sitting in a
room hearing people with an idea or
inspiration. He slipped a contribu-
tion envelope over and thats how it
got started.
And as Dr. Ed Lu concluded,
Wow... will Santa Barbara be the city
that saves the universe?
Thought for the Day
Santa Barbarians would only last a
New York minute crossing a street in
Manhattan the way they do in town.
Ever notice? In Santa Barbara, they
simply do not know how to hustle.
For that matter, there is no bustle
in this town, either. The light says
walk and locals can barely manage
that. They stroll. They saunter. They
amble and ramble... and that is only
to cross just 24 feet of two lanes on
downtown State. MJ
Julian Nott speaks to the select crowd of science enthusiasts and philanthropists about B612, the foun-
dation that seeks to stop the sky from falling
I
n January, Jane Higa announced
she would retire from Westmont
August 1 after serving for 24 years
as vice president and dean of stu-
dents. That date changed to March 7
when physicians at UCLA Medical
Center diagnosed her with ALS or
Lou Gehrigs disease earlier in March.
Jane has touched many lives and
inspired countless students, says
President Gayle D. Beebe. With
her strong yet graceful leadership
and wisdom, Jane has developed a
remarkable student life program that
enhances both the colleges academ-
ic and co-curricular activities. Were
grateful for her legacy, but we will
miss her presence and work with us.
We will be praying for her as she deals
with this difficult disease.
In June 2011, the Association for
Christians in Student Development
(ACSD) gave Higa its first Jane Hideko
Higa Multicultural Advancement
Award. The ACSD Diversity Task
Force created the award to recognize
individuals doing excellent work in
advancing multicultural competency
and named it in Higas honor.
Higa graduated from Westmont in
1973 and earned a Master of Science
degree from USC. In the 1980s, she
served for seven years as dean for stu-
dent affairs and two years as dean of
women at Biola University, where she
met Mark Sargent, Westmonts pro-
vost. He says Higa is deeply respected
throughout Christian higher educa-
tion as someone who builds bridges
between the academic and student life
programs.
She has a unique capacity to draw
people into conversation about the
essential things, and you leave every
conversation with Jane knowing that
she cares about you and your hopes
and ideas, Sargent says. At a time
when student life and academic life
were drifting into separate profession-
al spheres in Christian higher educa-
tion, Jane was a persistent voice for
the possibilities of partnership. Her
vision for that partnership was not
simply programmatic: her collabora-
tion was always rooted in a love of
ideas, of people, and of possibilities.
Higa received the ACSDs presti-
gious Don L. Boender Award in 1998
and has served on the ACSD execu-
tive committee as both vice president
and president-elect, spoken at numer-
ous conferences, chaired the plan-
ning team for the annual conference
and recently served as the chair of
the diversity task force. She has been
active in the Council for Christian
Colleges and Universities (CCCU) as
former chair of the Commission of
Chief Student Development Officers

Barry Loy, vice president for student
life at Gordon College, has worked
with Higa for about 30 years through
ACSD and CCCU. He says she often
provides wisdom and advice on a
multitude of student life topics for her
colleagues from other schools. Her
faith is authentic and contagious,
Loy says. She is a tireless worker
for Gods Kingdom, her family, stu-
dent development and Westmont. She
continues to be an inspiration to me.
Ive especially been strengthened in
my own faith and work by watching
Jane deal with the ups and downs of
life. She is a kind and gracious person
always willing to listen and put others
before herself. Janes retirement from
the profession is a great loss, but she
has and will continue to inspire many
others to follow in her footsteps.

Whats In A name?
Mr. Alexander is an un-
certified tax collector who
advises the unwary that
their property tax bills can
be sent directly to him at:
Jim Alexander, c/o Banco
de Cyprus
I
ts that time of year again. Spring
has sprung. Days grow longer,
flowers bloom, and the Easter
Bunny has delivered his baskets of
colored eggs and jellybeans, except in
California where he distributed qui-
noa nuggets and tofu peeps. But some-
thing is rotten in Paradise, and Im
not talking about the Bird Refuge. Im
referring to our property tax bill.
I should first state how lucky and
privileged I feel to own a house in
Santa Barbara when so many dont.
I also have no right to complain
about the amount of my property
taxes because, fortunately, thankfully,
appreciatively, I fall under the merci-
ful umbrella called Pop 13, or what
we call in our house, Even Though Hes
Dead, I Could Kiss Howard Jarvis Right
On The Lips. I might complain about
property taxes coming due just five
days prior to the April 15
th
Federal
Income tax deadline, but I make it a
point to never mention Voldemort, or
the IRS aloud. What does bother me is
who I have to make my property tax
check out to. Who the hell is Harry E.
Hagen?
When I owe federal income
taxes I write a check to the Internal
Revenue Service, not to an individual
named Sawyer B. Hind. When I owe
state taxes I send the money to the
California Franchise Tax Board, not
a person named Al Dente. Why do
I give my property taxes to some
guy named Harry E. Hagen? Just to
prove Im not sexist, I didnt like it
any better in previous years when I
wrote my property tax check to some
skirt named Bernice James. How do I
know Harry wont abscond with my
money and join Bernice whos prob-
ably already in the Cayman Islands
after setting up several bank accounts
under the aliases Mr. and Mrs. U.R.
Suckers? Id feel much better if I made
my property tax check out to: Local
Road Improvement, School System
and Public Amenities Money Pit.
With that in mind, I vowed to use the
Montecito Journals extensive resourc-
es to uncover everything I could
about the mysterious Harry Hagen,
and when I say use the Montecito
Journals extensive resources, I mean,
I Googled him.
I started with Google Images
because it helps me to put a face
to the name. For instance, if Harry
Hagen somehow looked like a
Labrador Retriever, Id instantly fall
in love with him and trust him with
my life. Well, you might be surprised
to know that there were hundreds
of photos of Harry Hagens and not
one looked like a Labrador Retriever.
There was, however, one image of
Star Wars Princess Leia under the
name of Harry Hagen (Im not mak-
ing this up). While Princess Leia is
surely no dog, that iconic photo of
her in a bikini always makes me feel...
better.
I narrowed my Google Image search
by typing in Harry E. Hagen and was
flabbergasted to find more photos of
women than men (again, Im not mak-
ing this up). Could Harry E. Hagen
be a woman? I never considered this.
Maybe I am a sexist. While rereading
this column I also noticed that I pre-
sumed the Easter Bunny was a he!
I abandoned the image search idea
and switched to regular Google. While
I scanned the Harry Hagens, look-
ing for one with a criminal check
cashing record or a dubious office in
Nigeria, I came across Harry E. Hagen,
County of Santa Barbara: Treasurer Tax
Collector. By George, I think we got
him. It seems ol Harry is legit and
we actually elected the guy in 2010,
though I sure as heck dont remem-
ber. Who ran against him, Dan Druff?
Ella Vader? Adam Zapel? I guess tax
collectors are like judges and school
board candidates to me. I never have
a clue about any of them, so I look to
see if any are humor writers or former
Star Trek actors, and if none are, I play
eeni-meenie-miney-mo and mark my
ballot.
As relived as I am about Mr.
Hagens validity, Id still feel better if
he changed his name to For Deposit
Only. And Harry, should you read
this, I have a suggestion. After you
give up this tax collector gig, you
might consider taking up the guitar or
drums because Who The Hell Is Harry
Hagen would make a great name for a
rock n roll band. MJ
While Princess Leia is surely no dog, that iconic
photo of her in a bikini always makes me feel... better

meetings, Coast Village Road has been
recognized as the gateway to Santa
Barbara by both the community and
City officials, yourselves included.
Yet, we arent doing the things neces-
sary to show that we take as much
pride in our gateway as we do in
whats beyond it, he writes.
Its not a matter of we could use

they are in horrible shape and they

American Riviera Bank
to Open
American Riviera Bank is set to
open its doors in Montecito later this
month, with a Grand Opening celebra-
tion scheduled for Wednesday, April
17, from 4 pm to 6:30 pm. The bank
is the first tenant to sign a lease in
Richard Gunners Pharmacy Project
on the corner of San Ysidro and East
Valley Roads.
Located at 525 San Ysidro Road,
Building G, the branch will be the
Banks second (1033 Anacapa Street
is the original location). According to
American Riviera Bank President and
Chief Executive Officer Jeff DeVine,
the decision to open a Montecito loca-
tion was fueled by strong growth and
consumer demand.
The 1,500-square-foot branch is
located in a Cape Cod-style build-
ing with two stories and an interior
featuring white bead board, decora-
tive moldings, and a coffered ceil-
ing consistent with the exterior
theme. DesignARC and Campanelli
Construction designed and built
the interior of the bank, which was
designed to have a hometown feel.
The branch will be open 9 am to 5
pm Monday through Thursday, and
9 am to 6 pm on Fridays. Tellers will
use desks instead of a counter, and the
four full time employees will use the
newest technology in cash machines.
The Grand Opening is open to the
public. Refreshments and wine will
be served. For more information, call
(805) 965-5942 or visit www.american-

Computers Stolen from School
Thursday, 21 March, 8:30 am Deputy Dickey was dispatched to a school
in Montecito on report of computer theft. The teacher filing the report told
the deputy it appeared that a suspect broke into a basement office below the
schools theatre. It is believed the suspect was wearing gloves, and entered the
office through an un-alarmed back door. The office contained several other
valuable electronic items, which were left undisturbed. A report was taken.
Thefts from Vehicles on Mariposa Lane
Thursday, 21 March, 10 am Deputy Padilla received a call about a stolen
wallet from a vehicle on Mariposa Lane. The reporting party said he parked
his vehicle on his driveway and left it unlocked. When he returned, he found
his wallet was missing from the center console. His daughter had also left
her vehicle unlocked on the driveway. She came out to realize her laptop had
been stolen from her purse, which was in the back seat of the car. Her credit
cards and wallet were not stolen. The deputy responded to the home, and was
assisted by Sgt. Brittingham. While the deputies were on the scene, the victim
also reported that several hand tools had been taken from his garage, valued
at $2500. A paint crew doing work on the property will be questioned. Latent
fingerprints were lifted off both vehicles. A report was taken. MJ

L
ongtime Montecito resident
Gina Abatemarco is hoping
to raise $25,000 to help finish
her documentary on the residents of
Kivalina Island via Kickstarter, a web-
site used by people seeking to raise
money for various and frequently
small projects. The site allows any-
one to put a proposal online and to
choose an amount of money theyd
like to raise. The only catch is they
must do it on a deadline, Gina tells
me during a lengthy conversation
from her apartment in New York City.
If they dont make the deadline, they
dont get the money and none of the
donors are charged, she explains.
Shes been working on her doc-
umentary about Kivalina Island, a
postage-stamp-sized Alaskan island
deep in the Arctic for five years now
and figures shes half-way done with
post-production. The $25,000 will
go to paying her editor (Melanie Vi
Levy) for the rest of the editing costs.
Over $10,000 has been pledged so far
and the filmmaker has until Thursday,
April 25 to raise the additional funds;
otherwise, of course, shell lose it all.
Gina is looking to raise $60,000 to
completely finish the film: $25,000
with Kickstarter and another $35,000
outside that. We hope to be finished
on the first of July, she says, believ-
ing that gives her enough time to be
accepted for next years Santa Barbara
International Film Festival. In addi-
tion to a 90-minute general release
documentary, she and her editor will
also compile a shorter 56-minute ver-
sion for television. Some of the funds
she has already received came from
Vision Maker Media, which has an
agreement with PBS.
Its not as if Gina has any childhood
memories of the way things were in
Alaska. The first time I ever heard
about Kivalina, she writes, was on
November 25, 2007 when over break-
fast I casually opened the Los Angeles
Times on a lazy Thanksgiving week-
end. There, next to my pancakes, was
an article that ultimately changed my
life and my destiny. I had no plans to
visit Alaska before this, nor make a
documentary, but by March of 2008 I
was on a plane heading to Kivalina to
meet the village.
Gina says the article stressed two
main concerns about Kivalina Island:
rapid and destructive industrializa-
tion of the Arctic by oil companies that
threatens to sully the pristine envi-
ronment there, and that such activity
will spell the end of a way of life for
the small tribe of some 400 that call
Kivalina home.
Ive been going back to Kivalina
for five years now and have gone at
all different times of the year, she
says. In June, its the most incredible
month. Its light all night long and
everybody is out all night long. This
is the time when everybody goes out
seal hunting, fishing, and berry pick-
ing.
But those summer outings are
endangered, she believes. In the fall
(October), Shell Oil hired some of the
tribe as radio operators for a call cen-
ter set up to help smaller fishing craft
avoid running into larger vessels out
there exploring for oil.
This is almost a forgotten place,
she continues. I sense on the ground
that there is an incredible shift going
on, that the environment is shifting.
The island is eroding into the ocean
and is disappearing.
Kivalina is a 54-acre barrier island,
the length of two New York City
blocks, and the width of one block,
and [is so exposed] that its scary to be
there in a storm, Gina says.
Why did they choose this place to
live? I asked.
Actually, they didnt, she
explains. They were settled there
when the Bureau of Indian Affairs
set out to build schools around the
Arctic. Dropping bricks on that island
was easier than going around the
mainland and to various places where
people traditionally lived. Kivalina
was a summer beluga and caribou
hunting camp [for the Inupiat com-
munity], but they never would have

lived there. They were settled there.
Just getting to Kivalina in the
Northwest Arctic Borough of Alaska
is an adventure all its own. One must
book a flight into the small town
of Kotzebue (population as of 2011:
3,294) and then hop on a six-passenger
plane to the island. Kotzebue was
kind of sleepy even five years ago,
Gina notes, but were starting to feel
the change. You cant get a seat at the
restaurant. Theres a new hotel; its
filled. There are tons of outsiders and
everyone has something to do with
building a better infrastructure. There
are people coming up to install radios
on ships; therere people working on
the hotel, all kinds of scientists there
is momentum and change.
Her goal for the documentary is to
give people a true experience of liv-
ing in the modern Arctic today. The
movie will oscillate between footage
that will be true to the Arctic and true
to their culture and to who they are
and then well fling the audience back
to the most grotesque experiences of
the influence of Western culture on an
indigenous society that is truly, truly
heartbreaking.
The people of Kivalina have
nowhere to hide, Gina asserts. There
are many lights and darks in our
movie. We shouldnt allow places and
cultures like this to disappear and not
be appreciated and not be known,
she says.
There is so much irony to the idea
of industrial development, she con-
cludes. The fact of the matter is that
the industries that have helped con-
tribute to the warming [of the Arctic]
are now taking advantage of it.
A Little of Her History
Gina attended Montecito Union
School and remembers most fondly
Mr. Morgan (Carter Morgan, now
retired), and Dr. Bronte Reynolds.
Upon graduating from MUS, she went
to Marymount, to Bishop for high
school, and then on to the Tisch School
of the Arts at NYU.
After film school, she recounts, I
worked as Brian De Palmas assistant
for one year (on The Black Dahlia).
Ginas father, Frank Abatemarco,
was a writer and producer for televi-
sion and was a Supervising Producer
on Star Trek: The Next Generation in
the shows sixth season. My dad,
she says proudly, wrote one of the
most famous Star Treks ever: Chain Of
Command.
Gina says she got the moviemak-
ing bug by hearing about the way her
father did research for the shows he

was writing for, you know, riding
around in cop cars for hours, things
like that she says. Her father wrote
for The New Mike Hammer (which he
also co-produced) and the Cagney &
Lacey TV series, among many others.
Gina, it seems, likes to stay busy.
While at Tisch, for example, she co-
founded a film festival celebrating
female filmmakers, called the Fusion
Festival, which just celebrated its tenth-
year anniversary. When in New York
and not working on her film, she works
at the Union Square Farmers Market.

Art Deco Masterpieces
Peter Mullin is a billionaire, with
homes in Big Sur, Brentwood, and
elsewhere. He is also a car aficionado,
particularly of French automobiles,
and especially of French vehicles built
during the late 1920s into the late
30s, at the height of the Art Deco
era, which ran from approximately
1925 to 1939. Now in his seventies,
Mr. Mullin devotes a great deal of
his time to the purchase, renovation,
and preservation of those cars and
has put many of them on display at
his Mullin Automotive Museum in
Oxnard, just 25 miles down the road
from Montecito.
Mullin purchased a 1936 Type 57SC
Bugatti Atlantic for just under $34
million at auction that held the record
for most expensive car ever sold
until fellow billionaire Craig McCaw
(who not only owns a Montecito
manse but is also renovating the for-
mer Peabodys restaurant on Coast
Village Road at Middle Road), bid
$35 million for race car driver (Sir)
Stirling Mosss 1962 apple-green
Ferrari 250 GTO. The Bugatti remains
the biggest and most beautiful draw
in what is one of the most intrigu-
ing and yes, exciting museums Ive
ever visited, second only perhaps to
the Checkpoint Charlie Museum in
Berlin, Germany.
Mullins superb collection of rare
and beautiful French automotive out-
put is installed in a building in Oxnard
once owned by former L.A. Times pub-
lisher Otis Chandler. Mr. Mullin began
putting his own collection of cars on
display about two and a half years ago
and restructured the building inside
to resemble the kind of car palace
that would have existed in Paris in the
1920s and 30s. Banners hang down
from the high ceilings proclaiming
each individual car maker or designer,
just as they would have in a car show
of that era.
Every vehicle inside the Mullin
Automotive Museum was either
built in France, or has a history of
having been built in France. The
1920s and 30s was an era of stream-
lining and aerodynamics and many
of the vehicles reflect that sensibil-
ity, perhaps because many of the
auto designers were also airplane
designers.
Car makes featured include
Hispano-Suiza, Bugatti, Avion Voisin,
Delahaye, Delage, Leon Bollee,
Panhard-Levassor, Renault, De Dion-
Bouton and others.
The museum, at 1421 Emerson
Avenue in Oxnard, is open just two
days a month to the general public,
but every weekend crowds of car lov-
ers descend upon this out-of-the-way
venue to admire this collection, thanks
to various individuals who organize
docent-led tours.
Dont be afraid to visit this dazzling
collection as a couple. Both women
and men are regularly bowled over by
the Art Deco sensibility of the entire
ensemble, including side rooms deco-
rated with furniture, toys, paintings
and other handsome objets dart of the
period. For more information, you are
invited to call 805-385-5400 or visit the
museums website: www.mullinauto
motivemuseum.com. MJ
Our visit to the Mullin Automotive Museum was put together by Montecito auto aficionado Dana
Newquist (far left), who led a small caravan of Santa Barbara-area residents down Route 1 to Oxnard.
Dana drove his 1939 supercharged Graham coupe, and was joined in the vintage American-made car by
James Buckley, his wife, Helen, and Danas wife, Andrea.
If one purchased a Bugatti and one had a child or
even children, each child would receive a battery-
operated -scale 1927 Bebe Bugatti. They could
reach speeds of 20 kph and were raced on tracks
in their day. They are now sought-after collectors
items and fetch upwards of $50,000 at auction.

hours at Saks Fifth Avenue on State
Street. The event, TBCFs most profit-
able fundraiser, features mini-make-
overs, cocktails, appetizers, mini-
massages, an auction full of dining,
travel, and one-of-a-kind experiences,
and an exclusive look at the spring
fashion collection of several popular
designers.
Hosted by local celebrity and par-
ent, Billy Baldwin, the event will
be catered by over a dozen local
restaurants and catering specialists,
including The Ballard Inn, Olio e
Limone and Pizzeria, Los Agaves,
Los Arroyos, Duo Catering, Omni
Fresco, World Cuisine Express, and
Youngs Market Company. Other

Guerrero, who joined the non-profit
last year. Some highlights: a 7-day
luxury European River cruise for two;
a gown donated by Katy Perry; a trip
to the Garza Blanca Preserve Resort
& Spa in Mexico, featuring a four-
night stay in a two-bedroom suite;
a Big Apple package that includes
accommodations at The New York
Palace Hotel, tickets to any Broadway
Show, and dinner. Also up for auction
is a 20k yellow gold heart pendant,
set with two Cabochon rubies, on
an 18-in link chain. The necklace,
made by Montecito jeweler Daniel
Gibbings, is part of a collection that
included a ring that was gifted to
Katy Perry by singer John Mayer
after a Valentines Day dinner.
Attendees will also have the oppor-
tunity to bid during a silent auction.
Items include makeovers, spa treat-
ments, personal training and physical
fitness vouchers, concert packages,
restaurant vouchers, and more.
Proceeds from the auctions will
go directly to TBCF; each year the
event raises tens of thousands of
dollars in donations, reaching over
$150,00 last year. An online auction
has also been set up; bidding opens
on April 8. (Visit TBCFs website

a boys instrument. But my two best
friends were also girls who played
brass instruments. The trumpet as an
instrument is a very outgoing, and so
am I.

Hearing that, Im a bit surprised that
Ive heard you dont like to listen to trum-
pet music at home.
I do listen to Clifford Brown and
Chet Baker, Dizzy, and Wynton
Marsalis. Theyre amazing. But its not
about the instrument. I want to hear
what they have to say. The classical
trumpet has quite a limited repertoire.
I want to expand that more, and break
down the barriers, steal things from
other places. Its just about finding
good music to play. Im a classical
music fan more than just a trumpet
fan.
How do you feel about the necessity of
having to borrow repertoire written for
other instruments or even vocalists?
Ive never known anything else. I
cant imagine what its like to be a pia-
nist and have so much material avail-
able. But I do like the idea of delving
into material thats unexplored. Not
everything works. Its a lot of trial and
error to find music I can play. Some of
what I did for Sound the Trumpet
just wasnt good I spent a lot of time,
but then when Id finished I realized
they just werent as good; they were
taking something away from the origi-
nal. So you have to walk away. But
Ive loved making more repertoires
for the instrument. And Ive got a
million more things in my head that I
want to get onto albums.
How did you come to make Sound
the Trumpet? The arrangements are so
fresh and break some new ground for the
trumpet.
EMI wanted something Baroque,
and it was time for me to do that. But I
wanted it to be with instruments those
composers would have known at the
time. I found original trumpet music,
but then thought it could be great to
use the sound of trumpet on pieces
that werent originally written for it,
and that led me to the Handel and
Purcell. And it actually worked! Trevor
Pinnock (who produced the album) is
an absolute guru for Baroque, and he
approved, so I thought if it was good
enough for him, Im going for it.
The natural trumpet is tougher to play,
I understand. Did you take to it easily?
It takes work and a lot of practice,
but its worth it. The pitches are much
closer together in the high register,
and some of them arent playable
directly, so you have to bend the notes
to get the other ones you need. You
have to control everything with your
lips, with very tiny movements. Its
pretty precarious, but when you get
it, the sound is magical, and it has so
much dimension that I cant imagine
doing it any other way.
Thats what youre playing for this tour,
right?
Mostly. The Scottish Ensemble is
great because theyre really flexible. I
wanted to bring this music to stages,
and they just said, sure, well jump
on anything you want to do. So for
the first half I will play on piccolo
trumpet and second half on natural
trumpet, and Ill talk about how the
instruments differ because they look
and sound so different. So its a great
chance to show what the trumpet is
capable of, which is part of my mis-
sion. I believe in the trumpet and I
want to take it in as many directions
as it can possibly go. Even if it seems
bonkers when you first encounter the
ideas. The trumpet has a lot to say. Its
as versatile as the human voice.

Ensemble perform at 8pm Friday, April

M
ake no mistake: its already
been an astonishing season
for classical music soloists
here in Santa Barbara, and were just
entering April. The fiddlers fired the
first salvos, as world-renowned vio-
linists Christian Tetzlaff, Leonidas
Kavakos, Joshua Bell and Anne-
Sophie Mutter each offered solo
recitals in various-sized venues from
Hahn Hall to the Granada, and all
in the space of less than three weeks.
Then, later this month, up-and-com-
ing Jennifer Koh presents another
of her Bach & Beyond violin-and-
video feasts out at UCSB. But not to
be completely forgotten, that other
instrument of choice the piano
gets some time in the spotlight when
Andrs Schiff closes out the CAMA
Masterseries season at the end of the
month at the Lobero.
But in between we have the pleasure
of something we dont hear very often
around these parts, at least not in the
professional ranks, as Scottish trum-
peter Alison Balsom makes her Santa
Barbara debut at Campbell Hall on
Friday. Balsom has cultivated a still-
growing reputation as perhaps the
worlds greatest classical trumpeter
on the strength of several appearances
as soloist for concertos with major
orchestras across the globe, as well
as a number of recordings spanning
musical styles and periods. A lithe-
some blonde, shes also found favor
outside the typically insular world of
classical music via guest shots on more
popular public forums, like NPRs A
Prairie Home Companion and David
Lettermans late-night TV talk show,
to name just a couple.
But with her new disc, Sound
the Trumpet: Royal Music of
Purcell & Handel, Balsom has taken
another giant leap forward by looking
back, to the Baroque era, a time when
the trumpet was much more preva-
lent. And she has an unusual perspec-
tive and approach, having transcribed
and adapted many of the selections
herself from parts originally written
for voice or even oboe, and play-
ing them in the natural trumpet, a
valveless instrument of the era.
Balsom talked about the project, and
about her first American tour with the
Scottish Ensemble, over the phone
from her home in London last week.
Q. How did you come to the trumpet?
A. At school we could play what-
ever instruments we wanted, so I
started when I was 7. Believe or not,
the trumpet was most popular with
boys and girls there, except maybe
recorder. It was really very cool, and
so was the teacher. I also loved the
sound of it. And I was lucky enough
to have free lessons at school. I figured
out quickly where to play my lips, and
how to play it The brass band scene
is huge in England so that helped,
too. So it didnt seem strange at all
to play trumpet. It wasnt until I was
eleven that people started saying you
were a girl, and it was supposed to be

ing Higa during her Westmont inter-
view in 1992. I was initially struck
by Janes warmth and hospitality, as
she welcomed me into her office and
into our community with a wide, gra-
cious smile that still seems to accom-
pany her wherever she goes, Docter
says. As we chatted together, I saw a
woman of vision and passion, of wis-
dom and humility, a woman of deep
and abiding faith. Jane inspires me
with her passion for the mission of the
Christian liberal arts and Westmont
College, something she articulates
beautifully and personally. It lives in
every fiber of her being. Im inspired
by her desire to appreciate all the good
we do, yet to always strive to do bet-
ter, to be better.
Docter says she recently thought
about Jane during a sermon about
the fruit of the spirit. Jane embodies
love, joy and peace, she says. She
is kindness, goodness, faithfulness
and gentleness. Jane Higa belongs to
Christ; she lives by the spirit. She is a
blessing to all who know her, and I am
grateful for her presence at Westmont
and in our lives.
Kristin Lo, president of the
Westmont College Student Association
and former multi-cultural representa-
tive to the WCSA, has treasured her
friendship with Higa. The best part
of my education at Westmont has been
the mentorship by my professors in
the communication studies depart-
ment and the building of wonderful
relationships through the WCSA with
people like Jane Higa.
Beebe, who will begin a national
search to replace Higa in the fall,
encourages those who wish to com-
municate with Jane and her fianc,
Jim Mannoia, to please send mes-
sages to Tiffany Lobner (tlobner@
westmont.edu). The college will soon
announce an interim vice president
and dean of students.
Olympic Athletes
to Compete at
Westmont Track
A tremendous wealth of inter-
national Olympic talent will com-
pete at the Westmont track for the
Sam Adams Classic, which features
events in the decathlon and heptath-
lon, on Friday, April 5, at noon, and
Saturday, April 6, at 11 am. The event
is free and open to the public.
The competition includes Ashton
Eaton, Olympic decathlon gold
medalist; Sharon Day, who won
the Sam Adams Heptathlon last
year and represented the U.S. at the
Olympics; Gray Horn, who placed
third at the U.S. Championships last
year; Brianne Theisen, an Olympian
from Canada, who set a Westmont
stadium record in the womens 200
meters and the womens 100 meter
hurdles on March 30; and Damian
Warner, a two-time Canadian nation-
al champion in the decathlon who
finished fifth at the 2012 Summer
Games. Warner holds the Westmont
stadium record in the mens 110
meter hurdles after posting 14.15 on
March 30. Canadian heptathlete Jen
Cotton will also join the competi-
tion.
This many Olympians havent
been on campus since Bill Toomey
and company were training in Santa
Barbara in the 1960s and 70s, says
Russell Smelley, Westmont head
track and field coach. We have
enjoyed seeing Ashton and Brianne
training each day along with the
Womens Athletic Performance
Foundation athletes coached by Josh
Priester.
Priester, the meet director for this
event, has gathered a good field
with 17 decathletes, including three
Westmont athletes, Ben McCollum
16, Kyle Kemper 15 and Bradford
Ortlund 16, and 12 heptathletes,
including Westmont freshman
Kristan Holding.
With such distinguished and
accomplished athletes competing
on our outstanding track-and-field
facility, I expect to see several new
stadium records Smelley says. I
am especially interested in seeing
the sprint and hurdle events with
such excellent head-to-head compe-
tition.
The event honors Sam Adams, a
legendary multi-event coach who
worked with athletes at UC Santa
Barbara for 34 years and 10 years
with Smelley at Westmont.
A Dozen Art Students
Exhibit in 12 Speed
Twelve graduating art majors
have created a visual capstone to
their Westmont education and will
exhibit work April 4 - May 4 at the
Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of
Art. A free, public opening recep-
tion for 12 Speed will include the
artists Thursday, April 4, from 4-6
pm.
Susan Savage, Westmont profes-
sor of art, says the students have
plenty of room in the museum com-
pared to last years exhibition that
featured 23 graduating art majors,
the second most ever at Westmont.
This year the students have the
luxury of working bigger, and most
of them have taken advantage of
that opportunity, she says.
The students have worked with
several different mediums, includ-
ing etching, digital photography,
drawing, painting, mixed media,
digital painting, assemblage and
sculptural installation. The art-
ists are: Paige Boies, Benjamin
Bisson, Tim Cederwall, Andrew
Loy, Avary Mitchell, Amelia Neal,
Alisha Paulsen, Bekah Rogers,
Talia Sheets, Kalie Stier, Ari Stork
and Samantha Watts.
Savage says many of the stu-
dents planned ahead and worked to
develop their initial concepts, while
others welcomed the spontaneity of
tackling current life challenges to
bring their personal stories forward.
All these seniors worked with edu-
cational synthesis in mind, she
says. From themes involving social
and cultural content to those devel-
oped through deep personal con-
viction, all the works represented
testify to each persons walk and
place in life.
One of the joys of this exhibit is
the revelation that each students
uniqueness is tangibly demonstrat-
ed through the relationship of form
and media. As a true test in compre-
hending the realities and responsi-
bilities of self-direction, this exhibit
offers everyone a glimpse of the
complex inner dialogue that mani-
fests itself within the artist, and
ultimately comes out as art. MJ

The Lady Behind Living Local:
Gail Kvistad
I
first met the lady behind Living
Local, the Cox TV show featur-
ing local businesses and orga-
nizations that are a mainstay of
our unique and lively community,
when I was a young teacher and she
was my student at La Colina Junior
High School, too many years ago
now to count. Through the mists of
time I recall a vibrant, hardwork-
ing and brilliant child who always
smiled and approached learning
with great enthusiasm and creativ-
ity. Throughout her local education
she was involved in everything! From
volleyball to swimming to drill team
and from student government to
Junior Achievement, Gail Schmitt
(now Kvistad) was a prominent and
spirited participant.
I next met Gail when she was wait-
ressing at Jack Sears Caf del Sol at
the Bird Refuge, where my husband
and I dined at least once a week
while we were still teaching. (Some
days we just needed someone to
take care of us, and Jacks was, and
still is, just the place for that.) Gail
and I share that experience as well
because I worked my way through
the credential program at UCSB as
a cocktail waitress at Hobie Bakers,
Jacks former place in Goleta.
Gail had attended Santa Barbara
City College where she cohosted the
local TV show Around the Town
with Ken Boxer. She later gradu-
ated from UCSB, and, restless for
adventure, headed for foreign parts.
She studied Spanish in Cuernavaca,
Mexico, and lived in Rio de Janeiro
for a time. Later, as a representative
for a cutting edge (at the time) tooth
whitening company, she traveled to
most major cities in the U.S.
After her brief interlude at Caf del
Sol, wanderlust set in again and she
signed up to teach English in Japan,
where for a year and a half she
had many adventures before being
advised to leave the country. The
West Coast wasnt far enough away
so she settled in Savannah, Georgia,
to work for Scuba Diving Magazine.
During that time she crossed paths
with the Santa Barbara-based Islands
Magazine where she had interned as
a college student, accepted a posi-
tion with them, and returned home.
Then Islands Magazine morphed
into a media company producing
travel and hotel videos, commercials
and websites and she was on the
path leading to Living Local. She
spent time as the Scoop reporter
for a travel show based in Miami,
Florida, for which Regis Philbin
was spokesperson.
Love and romance saw her mov-
ing back to Santa Barbara where she
freelanced as a segment producer for
the National Geographic Today show
and moved into the documentary
film world with Matchmakers. On
that project she met Paul Mathieu of
West Beach Films and soon, met up
with me, now retired from teaching
and writing a local history column.
Gail had a brilliant idea (Gail always
has brilliant ideas); she wanted to
produce a local history show and
offered me the position of historian.
I thought about it and said, What
the heck, why not. Off we set for
walks and talks on various histori-
cal topics and venues including the
former Potter Hotel site, the ruins
of the Miramar, and a hike up to
the Hot Springs while Paul walked
backwards, directed, and filmed us.
Always dressed in a vibrantly appro-
priate costume, Gail sashayed her
way through the past and brought
it to life.
Its tough to get people to pay
for history (thank-you MJ for being
the exception), and the show never
obtained a sponsor. Gail moved on to
other things. Eventually, she teamed
up with COX Media to host and
produce Living Local, a half-hour
show airing daily that is an eclectic
look at the varied products and ser-
vices available in Santa Barbara. Gail
always dresses for the part wear-
ing, for instance, a Hawaiian print
sheath for an episode featuring a
flip flop store and a mechanics shirt
for a feature explaining the work of
an auto repair business. (Her smile
in the latter episode, which opens
with her driving a convertible Mini
Cooper into the shop, is positively
beaming!)
Although Living Local certainly
keeps Gail busy, she is still into
everything!
I am passionate about nature
and the environment, she says.
She finds time to promote the mes-
sage of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
to schools and universities and par-
ticipates in various projects, such
as the ongoing clean-up of the Sian
Kaan Biosphere, a UNESCO marine
site in the Yucatan. With Tom Piozet
of Home Planet Productions, she is
collaborating on a film project that
focuses on NOAA and its UAS drone
program to find and monitor marine
species and debris from the Japanese
tsunami.
One of these environmental proj-
ects is her participation in the upcom-
ing screening of Mission of Mermaids,
a Susan Rockefeller film, on Friday,
May 17 at Home Planet Productions

Seniors Have Talent
at Marjorie Luke Theatre
SENIORITY
by Patti Teel
Patti Teel is the com-
munity representative for
Senior Helpers, providers
of care and comfort at a
moments notice. She is
also host of the Senior
Helpers online video
show. www.santabar
baraseniors.com. E-mail:

M
ove over Kelly Clarkson,
theres a new show in town.
Shes not even eligible to
audition for another 20 years. Seniors
Have Talent will take place at 2 pm
on April 6 at the Marjorie Luke Theatre
and is a benefit for the Center for
Successful Aging. The director of the
show is none other than Rod Lathim,
who served as the project manager
and development director for the cre-
ation of the Marjorie Luke Theatre.
I recently spoke to Lathim about the
upcoming show and he stressed its
great diversity. The entertainers range
in age from 50-90 and there are 18 acts
that include music, dancing, and com-
edy. The music runs the gamut from
fun, upbeat contemporary pieces, to
classical works. A ninety-year-old pia-
nist, Florence Katz, will play a Chopin
piece. Another musician will be play-
ing boogie-woogie piano, and there
are two accordionists one of whom
is also a clown. The dancing is just
as varied. There are hula dancers and
The Silver Follies, a group of talented
senior women, will perform two num-
bers. The audience will definitely not
be bored and are sure to be impressed
by the talent. Only half of the people
who auditioned were chosen to be in
the show. Rod said that they could
definitely put on another show in the
near future and bring in a whole new
group of talented seniors.
The show will undoubtedly make
many people reassess their attitude
about seniors and aging. Rod is no
stranger to utilizing the arts to affect
social change and is a pioneer of the
accessible theatre. He founded Access
Theatre in 1979, and developed the
company from a grass-roots commu-
nity theatre, to a professional, award-
winning, international touring com-
pany. For 18 years, Access Theatre
was a national model of accessibility.
The company trained and employed
artists who were disabled, able-bod-
ied, blind, sighted, deaf and hearing,
and staged primarily original works.
Lathim directed and in many cases
co-wrote many of the companys 20
productions. Access Theatre set the
standard for, and was considered the
model of, a fully accessible theatre. To
this day, the companys accomplish-
ments are sighted as landmark and
pioneering.
The producer of the show is Judi
Weisbart. She remembers when
Bobbi Kroot, the board president
of the Center for Successful Aging,
approached her with the idea to put
on a senior talent show. They decided
that the event clearly embodies the
mission of the Center for Successful
Aging and negates outdated stereo-
types of senior citizens. The event is a
fundraiser for CSA and proceeds will
support its activities. Judi wanted to
give special thanks to La Shon Kelley,
a CSA board member who, along with
many other volunteers, has worked
tirelessly to make the show a success,
and ultimately to make things better
for seniors. The primary CSA service
is senior peer counseling, where CSA-
trained individuals conduct one-on-
one and group counseling for people
over the age of 50. What is distinctive
about this counseling service is that
the client and counselor are roughly
the same age. This means they usually
share many similar experiences, which
enhance the counseling process.
Tickets for the show will be avail-
able at the door. The Marjorie Luke
Theatre is located at Santa Barbara
Junior High School at 721 East Cota
Street. General admission tickets are
$20 and $10 for children. There will
be a raffle before the show and during
intermission.

EASING RECOVERY
FROM SURGERY
Recovering from surgery can be a long and arduous
journey. Painful incisions and infammation are
frequently present even after the most successful surgeries.
Using a feather light touch the body is magically speeded
along the road to recovery. Recently however, scientists
at the Pacifc Advanced Technology Laboratory were
able to provide proof positive that I emit and transfer
energy. Using sophisticated infrared research equipment
scientists were able to identify that the energy from my
hands was successfully transferred to my subjects, If you

Tis healing energy will reduce infammation, heal

hematomas and reduce scar tissue. Please allow me to
assist you along the road to recovery
BOOK TALK
by Shelly Lowenkopf
A Place of Ones Own
Lowenkopfs latest book
is The Fiction Writers
Handbook. His College of
Creative Studies course
for the Spring Quarter is
on genre fiction.
T
he titles of many books are
a play on words, sometimes
suggesting double meanings,
outrageous puns, or a delicious com-
bination of both.
In a subtle way, the play-on-words
title is the literary equivalent of an
unresolved musical chord, where the
reader/hearer is left to supply the
resolution without conscious thought.
So it goes with J.R. Moehringers
captivating memoir, The Tender Bar.
No question about the title, which
refers to a bar in Manhasset, Long
Island, a tad south east of New
York City. The locals called the bar
Steves. Steve, the owner, called it
Dickens, after the great Victorian
storyteller. J.R. Moehringer called it,
among other things, home, the father
who abandoned him, a gathering
spot for male bonding, and a cultural
library.
Manhasset had been invested with a
magical quality by F. Scott Fitzgerald,
who studied it from across the Long
Island Sound and on drinking expe-
ditions of his own, changing its name
to West Egg in The Great Gatsby. The
main street had any number of places
where a person could get a drink,
and many did with great frequency
in the likes of Brass Pony, Gay Dome,
Lamplight, Joan and Eds, Popping
Cork, and The Scratch. Then there
was Dickens.
Steve wanted his bar to be differ-
ent, Moehringer tells us. He wanted
his bar to be sublime. He envisioned
a bar that would cater to Manhassets
multiple personalities. A cozy pub
one minute, a crazy after-hours club
the next. A family restaurant early in
the evening, and late at night a low-
down tavern, where men and women
could tell lies and drink until they
dropped.
Moehringers father was a disc
jockey in NYC, with, of course, his
own show, that Moehringer listened
to until his father vanished, then
listened for, hoping somehow in that
magical poignancy of the young to
find him, then reconnect. My father
was a man of many talents, but his
one true genius was disappearing.
Without warning he would change
shifts or change stations. Id counter
by taking a portable radio outside on
the stoop, where the reception was
better. With the radio on my lap Id
wiggle the antenna and slowly turn
the dial, feeling lost until I found The
Voice again.
Under one sagging roof, Moehringer
and his mother lived with Grandpa,
Grandma, and his mothers grown
siblings, Uncle Charlie and Aunt
Ruth, as well as Aunt Ruths five
daughters and one son. While Steve
was establishing Dickens at 550
Plandome Road, Grandpa was run-
ning a flophouse at 646, Huddled
masses, Grandpa said, yearning to
breathe rent-free.
Uncle Charlie tended bar at
Dickens. The avuncular pull and
chemistry were at work early, exert-
ing their tug. Moehringer went to
Dickens as a young person, a non-
drinking person, for male compan-
ionship, for hanging out, for having
favorites with whom he could share
his experiences. I went into the
world, worked and failed, fell in
love, played the fool, had my heart
broken and my threshold tested.
For the first twenty-five years of his
life, Charlie drove him to the bar,
accompanied him to the bar, rescued
him for the bar, or was in the bar
when he arrived, as if waiting for
him since the day he was born.
The Tender Bar is a heart wrench of
a story, ending with Moehringers
growing career as a Pulitzer-Prize-
winning-journalist, catching up with
his father, discovering, learning some
ironies and achieving a hearten-
ing closure with what Dickens had
become.
This memoir resonates for the many
of us who have known such a place
as Dickens. Thanks to Moehringers
fine eye for quirk and detail, were
allowed to see its denizens who were,
after all, Dickensian. In particular,
Steve comes to vivid life. My own
such place, Burkes Bar, seemed
stuffed as an afterthought into the
building that housed a Fox flagship
movie house on Wilshire Boulevard
in mid-city, Los Angeles, where Mae
Burke sat at the end of the bar, mak-
ing sure Charlie poured what she
called hospitable drinks.
The Tender Bar works just as well for
those who have wanted and not yet
found that special place where things
may not always work out for the best
but where, sooner or later, things do
work out. MJ

Thursday, april 4
1st Thursday April is National Poetry
Month, and our monthly art-and-culture
downtown gathering is taking note.
Former Santa Barbara poet-laureate
David Starkey reads from his new
collection Circus Maximus at the Santa
Barbara Museum of Art amid the visually
poetic exhibit The World is Not My
Home: Danny Lyon Photographs, whose
subject will be on hand for a book signing
in the gift shop. At the Contemporary
Arts Forum above Paseo Nuevo, Found
magazine creator Davy Rothbart reads
hilarious and heartbreaking excerpts from
his acclaimed publication, and essays
from his book My Heart is an Idiot (note,
this is April, not February). Poetry, music
and art mingle at CASA with the theme
Honoring the Earth, featuring a sing-along
and poems selected by CASAs Resident
Poet, Carol DeCanio. Create your own
odes or other lyrical lines at the new
downtown business WorkZones, a co-
working club and meeting space where
you can try your hand at magnetic poetry,
participate in a design contest or garner
a professional head-shot. Sit down with
the My Haiku on Wheels with MTD event
to take part in a poetry craft for kids and
adults your three-line may make it onto
an ad posted in an MTD bus. The Poetry
Booth features an interactive public art
installation and collaborative workspace
for experiencing and creating poems
with the help of practiced poets and
educators. Over at Paseo Nuevo Center
Court, Sound Impressions incorporate
poetry into their music performance,
while Kat Devlin, who quickly became
a Santa Barbara favorite upon her arrival
in town just a few years ago, gets quite
poetic in her country-hipster style. WHEN:

Twisted tales Thanks to the long-
running series Speaking of Stories, were
not new to the whole concept of actors
telling live stories on stage here in Santa
Barbara. But what a treat to have The
Moth, the New York-based troupe who
have captivated listeners around the world
via their Public Radio Exchange hit The
Moth Radio Hour, coming to town for
an in-person segment at Campbell Hall.
Actress Molly Ringwald (known for
the 1980s flms Sixteen Candles, The
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink) is among

Big Splash Its not
often an art exhibit is titled
both after its theme and
the impact intended for the
audience. The Arts Funds new
show, curated by Catherine
Gee and Nancy Gifford,
features works by artists
Benjamin Anderson,
Cayetana Conrad,
Blakeney Sanford and
Rick Stich, who employ
a wide swath of media in
their large scale works with
aquatic themes. We hope
visitors walk away feeling
overwhelmed by undulating
patterns evoking waves,
ripples and the nuances of
light within water almost a
sense of claustrophobia but in the best way possible, Gee explained in the press

Founding fathers The aptly-named
Happy Destiny Productions is bringing
back BILL W. and DR. BOB, Samuel
Shem and Janet Surreys play about the
two unlikely partners who cofounded
Alcoholics Anonymous, and their wives,
who created Al Anon. In 1929, New York
stockbroker Bill Wilson crashed along
with the stock market and became a
hopeless drunk. Dr. Bob Smith, a surgeon
from Ohio, had also been an alcoholic
for 30 years. Through a surprising series
of events, Bill W. and Dr. Bob meet and
form a relationship, each helping to keep
the other sober, thus forming the core
concept of AA: that the responsibility
for helping another avoid drinking is the
strongest support for maintaining ones
own sobriety. Newcomers John Brindle,
Jean Hall, Kathleen Leary, and Ray
Wallenthin join returnees from the April
2010 production Kathy Marden and
Tim Whitcomb in the cast, directed
by Robert Riechel, Jr., who together
recreate this inspiring and often humorous
story of the beginnings of a still vitally-
important organization. WHEN: 8pm

I.V. Juggling Fest Unicyclists, clowns,
magicians, acrobats and, of course,
jugglers galore gather at Rob Gym on
the UCSB campus for the 37th annual
festival, a loosely organized three-day
affair where virtually anybody can host
a workshop or organize a competition.
About the only thing thats frmly
scheduled is Saturday nights annual
performance at I.V. Theatre (7:30pm;
$10, students/seniors/children $5),
featuring some of the cream of the crop
and anyone else who wants to furnish
their feats from the stage in a fundraiser
for the Santa Barbara Rape Crisis Center.
The festival has a sad beginning: in
1977, Patty Laney, a 21-year-old student
activist and avid juggler, was raped and
killed on her way to a mime class; her
friends organized the annual event both
to honor the memory of her efforts and
increase awareness for violence against
women. But the event itself is all about

Uke it up The Ukulele Orchestra of
Great Britain not only proudly calls itself
the original and best ukulele orchestra
on the planet leaving us to wonder just
how deep the competition is theyve
got the reviews and resum to prove it.
The group plays ukuleles of all sizes,
in high and low registers, in order to
reinterpret everything from alternative
rock to golden oldies to romantic classics
with an irresistible blend of wry humor
and virtuosic musical prowess. The
sophisticated sound they make both
percussive and melodic is at once
hilarious and heartfelt, raved the
Financial Times from their home base,
and even the gray lady herself, the
New York Times, has fallen in the fold,
exclaiming the bands concert as sheer
fun and outright daffness tied to frst-
rate musicality and comic timing. Now, 28 years after coming together for a one-
off gig in 1985, and after concerts in such hallowed halls as Sydney Opera House
and Carnegie Hall, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain makes its Santa Barbara
debut tonight at Campbell Hall as part of an ambitious world tour. And the foot-
stomping fun doesnt have to be only about watching: the unabashed uke-ers in the

Eighty-five
and Still Cook-ing
At age 85, most folks are happy
just to get out of bed in the morning,
maybe watch a little TV, go for a walk
and wait for a visit or email from the
grandchildren.
Then theres Barbara Cook.
The famed soprano Broadway
star she won a Tony for portraying
Marian the Librarian in The Music
Man in 1957 a year after she originated
the role of Cunegonde in Leonard
Bernsteins Candide, and then played
Anna in The King and I who later
became a popular cabaret singer isnt
resting on her laurels or anywhere
else.
In fact, shes still learning new mate-
rial, trying out new styles of singing,
taking on new projects and record-
ing new albums. Case in point: last
years Loverman, her most jazz-influ-
enced disc to date, chock full of classic
love songs and swinging numbers
including The Nearness of You, If I
Love Again, Lets Fall in Love and
What a Wonderful World,
I love doing new things, Cook
said with a laugh over the telephone
from her home in New York City. I
get scared about it, especially when
the songs are not my so-called bag,
but then what else is new? It keeps
my interest up, and keeps me going.
So far, so good.
But it isnt just taking on new
material and approaches that makes
Cook worthy of not only respect
she received the prestigious Kennedy
Center honor in 2011 but also careful
attention more than 60 years after she
made her debut. Its that she contin-
ues to get better, at an age when most
have no interest in growing at all.
I have more courage to go farther
with the songs as Ive gotten older,
she explained. I try to go deeper, to
search more in the song for things
that are personal, and to communicate
them in a more meaningful way I
think I sing them better than I did five
or ten years ago, and they will be even
more so in another five years. I dont
feel like Im finished. Im a work in
progress.
As to how shes managed to keep
her voice healthy, Cook said shes a
little bit mystified herself.
Well, I dont know. I have a tech-
nique I first learned in 1953 that still
works for me. And I sing songs that
I love. I sing in lower keys, which I
think is right for the music anyway.
And if it hurts I dont do it.
Cook is taking the Loverman
material on the road in a concert
called Lets Fall in Love, which
makes a stop at the Lobero Theatre on
Wednesday, April 10. But dont expect
to hear Till There Was You, anything
from Candide or even a selection from
Sondheim on Sondheim, which earned
her a Tony nomination in 2010.
I do sing some songs Ive done for
a long time, but this program is really
about the new stuff for me.
So whats next for the eternally
young Cook?
Im not sure. Maybe Ill go do
some blues. Im thinking about those
old Southern blues. (Sings) Baby,
baby, baby / please be good to me.
Ive never tried to do it before, but I
just saw some Muddy Waters on TV
and Im thinking, Maybe I could do
that, too. Why not?

8pm Wednesday, April 10. Tickets cost
$25-$125. Call 893-3535 or visit www.

Chip off the old Beatle
James McCartney first performed in
public at age 20 as part of his famous
father Pauls 1997 solo album, Flaming
Pie. But it wasnt until four years ago
that he started playing his own music.
Now at 35 seven years older than his
dad was when the Beatles broke up
McCartney is set to release his first
full-length CD, Me (recorded at Abbey
Road), later this year just months after
putting out a couple of EPs, Available
Light and Close At Hand, as digital-
only releases. A quick listen reveals a
lot of dads musical taste from soar-
ing melodies to classic rock n roll.

McCartney makes his Santa Barbara
debut at SOhO on Wednesday, April

Purl Of Wisdom
And Sorrow
Even if you dont recognize Linda
Purls name, youve surely seen her
face.
In her early 20s, she was Fonzies
fiance on the final seasons of Happy
Days (after having appeared as
Richies girlfriend in the second sea-
son as a teenager eight years earlier).
She played Ben Matlocks daugh-
ter on Matlock. And shes made a
slew of guest appearances on all sorts
of small screen series over the last
four decades, from Hawaii Five-O and
The Waltons in 1974, to Murder She
Wrote in 1985, to more recent roles on
modern hits The Office (Pams moth-
er), Desperate Housewives, Homeland
(Elizabeth Gaines) and True Blood
(Debbies mother).
She has a huge list of theater cred-
its too, ranging from parts in The
Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Getting
and Spending on Broadway, to starring
roles in off-Broadway shows and in
regional theaters around the country.
Along the way shes worked with
such icons as Julie Harris, Laurence
Olivier, Kim Hunter and even Shaun
Cassidy, the teen pop star who, she
says, taught her not to judge a book by
its proverbial cover.
But Purls next part represents quite
a departure. Shes portraying Joan
Didion in the authors one-woman
play The Year of Magical Thinking at the
Ensemble Theatre opening this week-
end. The play is based on Didions
bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning
book of the same name about her
almost intractable grief and eventual
recovery following the sudden death
of her husband, author John Gregory
Dunne, minutes after visiting their
gravely ill daughter in the hospital.
The work is a life-affirming account
of Didions attempts to make sense
of the overwhelming pain of family
tragedies, and has been heralded by
critics for its wit, insight and emotion.
Purl shared her thoughts about the
play and more over the phone last
week.
Q. Youre very busy with TV roles,
movie parts, acting on stage and cabaret
singing. What got you to come up here
to do small regional theater in Santa
Barbara?
A. I adore Jonathan [Fox, ETCs
executive artistic director], and weve
spoken about doing things before,
but the timing has never worked out.
Im also close with [director] Jenny
Sullivan, and when Bonnie Franklin
who was a friend of mine fell ill
and had to withdraw, I was deeply
flattered to be offered the project. Its
a very sensitive piece, very soulful. It
felt like a real gift at this moment to
do the role, even though I didnt know
what was to happen. Within a matter
of weeks, Bonnie passed away and a
couple of weeks after taking on this
project my own mother went into hos-
pice. So the play has become a medita-
tion for me, and helpful in organizing
my own thoughts. The whole produc-
tion has taken on a poignancy that
none of us expected at the start.
How familiar were you with The Year
of Magical Thinking? Had you read the
book or seen the play?
I knew it from a distance. Ive been a
Joan Didion fan from her earlier writ-
ings. [Because of the subject matter] it
takes a certain amount of gearing up
to make the choice to read the book,
or to go see the play. But as much as
you the audience member signs up to
take the journey, Joan Didion deliv-
ers. She takes your hand and youre
off on a ride. She really did the work,
she really confronted her own fears
and questions and limits, and, per-
haps most importantly, prevailed. She
says with no ego attachment, which
was long burned out of her that its
a manual for survival. If anyone of
us is honest enough to say that life is
tough, and there are hurdles, if were
willing to accept that, then Magical
Thinking is an extremely valuable
piece of art. It does what art is sup-
posed to do: it heals, it helps, it has
the discussion we may not be brave
enough or clear-thinking enough to
embark on outside of the theater. She
does it for us. And it was very healing
for me.
Normally I ask what an actor draws on
from his or her own life to play a role, but
in your case, its more about how you were

able to distance yourself from your own
situation to portray her.
Its her story, her journey. So I do get
to leave myself at the door. Its almost
a vacation from life even though Im
going through something similar. But
her theme is so universal; its like put-
ting a full cup of water in a bathtub.
Its specific, but the waters kind of
blend.
I would think your process must be very
different for a one-woman show than in
ensemble TV, especially comedies.
Its uncharted water for me. But
there is a surprising amount of humor,
in the Chekovian sense. Its obviously
not knee-slapping vaudeville shtick,
but poignant can be very funny. It is,
in some ways, a conversation with the
audience. So I dont feel alone at all.
I feel companioned by all the people
who are in the play, and by Joan Its
told from the point of view of how
to get through it. It needed to be in
service of everybodys process. That
broke through the fourth wall, so you
can relate to the audience.
And I think the physical space at the
Ensemble is so perfectly suited to this
play, because its so intimate. It can
be very mesmerizing. The play draws
on something ancient of storytelling,
sitting around the campfire, sharing
your wisdom and your history. You
cant help but have empathy for some-
one who survives so brilliantly what
she went through.
So audiences take away some relief?
Yes, and even if you havent had
that kind of grief, or havent pro-
cessed losses, you now have Cliff
notes of how to survive a tough go.
Thats the vitamin pill of this show.
When you get thrown out of the boat
into the ocean, youll have a life raft
having experienced this play. And you
get some good laughs along the way.
Its a big dollop of love.
Now that youve checked one-woman
show off your list, is there anything you
havent played on TV, or in a stage part,
that youd still love to do?
Always, always. Ive never done
something set in the future, like sci-fi.
Ive gone back to the Roman Empire,
and Victorian days and the Wild West,
but never forward. Id really enjoy
that. And Broadway musicals Id
like to do more of that My son is
just about to leave home, so Im going
to be an empty nester. Who knows if
those opportunities will come knock-
ing again that I had to turn down
before as single mother. But now I can
open the door.
