A Fitting Tribute
H
e was Montecitos very first Grand Marshal
and headed up our parade proudly attired
in his full-dress Marine Corps uniform.
Fittingly, the Memorial held at the Lobero Theater
on Sunday May 19 for recently deceased comic great
Jonathan Winters began with a Marine salute, sing-
ing of the national anthem, a recitation of the Pledge
of Allegiance, and the presentation of a U.S. flag to
Lucinda Winters, Jonathans daughter.
The event was anything but funereal. It was, by
contrast, a celebratory affair featuring film clips
of Mr. Winters from his career dating back to his
stand-up comic days, interspersed with live remem-
brances from a small group of friends.
Those clips included bits from his various guest
appearances on The Tonight Show with Jack Paar
and Johnny Carson, his hilarious airplane ride
with Dean Martin on The Dean Martin Show, all the
way back to his appearance on the TV series Omnibus, hosted by a remarkably
youthful Alaister Cooke, Winters roast of a bemused Ronald Reagan, and a
rare serious role in a co-starring Twilight Zone appearance with Jack Klugman.
The man in charge of the fast-moving and rollicking yet highly respectful
Sunday afternoon at the Lobero was former standup comic Dan Pasternack
who, according to my sources, helped oversee the entire enterprise. He was the
one who tracked down those clips of Jonathans Johnny Carson appearances,
which dont exist on the standard Tonight Show collections.
Among those who came to pay their respects and share their memories on
stage were actress Bonnie Hunt, who co-starred with Winters on the television
series, Davis Rules, Frank Sinatra, Jr., comic Robert Klein, who called Winters
the greatest one-man show of all time, Gary Owens (of Rowan & Martins
Laugh-In), Murray Horwitz, co-creator of PBSs Wait, Wait, Dont Tell Me!
and who is from Dayton, Ohio, Jonathans home town. Comic Richard Lewis
offered a heartfelt rambling good-bye as a fellow recovering alcoholic and as
someone who carried on a daily telephone relationship with Jonathan, calling
him the greatest improvisational comedian of all time.
Other speakers and attendees included director Peter Ferrara, Pat Harrington,
Rick Overton, Elliott Gould, and contemporary Milt Larsen, there with his
wife, Arlene.
One of the speakers, and I apologize for not remembering who related this
story, told of the time that Jonathan shook Orville Wrights hand.
Theres that a**hole Orville Wright, Jonathans grandfather, a Dayton
banker who apparently had an issue with Mr. Wright, pointed out as 11-year-
old Jonathan squirmed from the back seat of the car to see. Hes the biggest
a**hole in town, Jonathans grandfather opined. Do you want to meet Orville
Wright? he asked his grandson, who said he would, whereupon the granddad
rolled down his window and yelled, Hey, Orville, come over here. Id like you
to meet my grandson. The elderly gentleman (this would have been circa 1936)
crossed the street and duly held out his hand through the open car window and
shook Jonathans hand. He would later shake Neil Armstrongs hand and boast
that he had shaken the hands of two of the great names in flight.
When Jonathan Winters was introduced to the Reverend Billy Graham, the
first thing he said to him was: Has anyone ever asked you if they could set
your nostril hairs on fire?
These and many other stories of this strange and wonderful man filled the
theater.
All agreed Jonathan Winters was the consummate entertainer. His children,
Lucinda and Jay, agreed that he was always more than a dad.
Photos of Jonathan with his wife flashed by on the stage. I only knew her in
her later years, and so saw Eileen Winters for the first time as her children and
her husband must have seen her: a vibrant, beautiful, willowy soul full of life
and merriment. She passed on in 2009.
Jonathan Winters remains, unbeknownst to most in the audience, were on
stage the entire time. Dan Pasternack revealed that as he walked over and
picked up the Hopalong Cassidy lunch box, in which Jonathans ashes were
being kept among an array of Winters mementos.
It was a fitting good-bye to a lovable, loyal, sentimental, and providentially
talented man. MJ

Miscellany

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.

ust 28 months after splashing out
more than $5.7 million for her
Montecito home, Drew Barrymore
is selling up, I can exclusively reveal.
The actress, 38, has just put her six-
bedroom, seven-bathroom 6,000-sq-ft
home on two acres on the market for
$7,500,000, a hefty markup on the
original purchase price.
Drew, whose films have grossed
more than $2.5 billion worldwide,
famously tied the knot at the estate,
just a tiaras toss from Law & Order
producer Dick Wolf, with art consul-
tant Will Kopelman, in June last year.
They now have a six-month-old
daughter, Olive.
But, says my mole with the mar-
tini, Drew would like to stay in our
rarefied enclave and has expressed
interest in buying a nearby prop-
erty, formerly owned by the late
Avery Brundage, president of the
International Olympic Committee
from 1952 to 1972.
Brundage, who died in 1975, owned
a number of properties here, includ-
ing the Montecito Country Club, El
Paseo and the El Presidio complex,
but resided at what was known as
the Brunninghausen Estate, built by
Baron Maximilian von Romberg and
his wife, Emily after marrying in 1928.
Emily, was the editor of Apritif

The best little paper in America
(Covering the best little community anywhere!)
S
ince I have a small spread in the
Tehachapi Mountains running a
cow-calf operation for about 20
years now, I thought I would enlighten
Ernie Salomon, James Buckley and
all you other aspiring cowpokes out
there (re: More Trees, Less Watering
Editors response MJ # 19/20).
Cows are the mamas and you got
to have em for raising either beef
or dairy cattle. In a beef operation
similar to Hollisters, the produced
calves are either heifers or bulls.
The heifer or young cow calf is usu-
ally sold in one season unless you
want to let it grow up and replace
an older cow in your herd. The bull
calf is usually castrated, rendering
it a steer which, once transformed,
becomes more prone to gain weight
and more docile (imagine that!).
Steers too are usually sold in one
season. In Dairy, the heifer calf turns
into a milk-producing cow and most
bull calves turn into veal.
Let me put your mind at ease. It is
okay to call em all cows, grass-fed
and all. The owners will not mind, the
cattle certainly will not and most peo-
ple will generally understand what
you mean. In properly referring to
cattlemen, well, that can be a touchy
subject, but I can tell you for sure
that beef-boy is pretty far down on
the list. I think of myself as a ranch-
er mostly, but using a fancy title like
cattleman kinda makes my chest
swell with pride, so that is a good one
and who would mind being called a
Cowboy, as long as you are, not
all hat?

Thanks
For The coverage
Thank you so much for the won-
derful press in the Montecito Journal

provided quite the buzz around
here extending the event even
further and giving CASA a spot-
light. On behalf of everyone here
at CASA (Court Appointed Special
Advocates), and the deserving chil-
dren we serve, please accept my
sincere thanks.
Gratefully,

service and her coverage. And, especially,
thank you for noticing. J.B.)
more Thanks

An Ode To Golf
In my hand I hold a ball
White and dimpled and rather small.
Oh, how bland it does appear
This harmless looking little sphere.
By its size, I could not guess
The awesome strength it does possess.
But, since I fell beneath its spell
Ive wandered through the fires of hell.
My life has not been quite the same
Since I chose to play this stupid game.
It rules my mind for hours on end;
A fortune it has made me spend.
It has made me curse and made me cry
And hate myself and want to die.
It promises me a thing called Par
If I hit it straight and far.
To master such a tiny ball
Should not be very hard at all.
But my desires the ball refuses
And does exactly as it chooses.

recent study found that the aver-

average, golfers get about 41 miles to

(Editors note: As a committed golfer
who has gone through pretty much every

indeed. J.B.)
Weve learned A lot?
Well, we have certainly learned a
lot from the flurry of recent events
and testimonies before Congressional
committees.
We have learned from Attorney
General Eric Holder that he didnt
know very much about Fast and
Furious, and that he knew absolute-
ly nothing about the Associated Press
telephone surveillance, and nothing
about the IRS audits of conservative
groups.
The telephone surveillance that he
knew nothing about involved the
Justice Department, of which he,
Holder, is the head.
We have learned from former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
that though she was clear eyed
about the dangers in Benghazi, she
knew absolutely nothing about
requests from her embassy and her
Ambassador for increased security in
the most dangerous city, in the most
dangerous country, in the most dan-
gerous part of the world.
We have learned from Steven
Miller, the acting head of the IRS,
that he knew absolutely nothing
about the IRS targeting of conserva-
tive groups, with detailed inquiries,
audits, and delays in approvals of
their tax-exempt applications. The
only thing the gentleman did know
was that none of this activity that he
had no knowledge of was political.
We have learned from the President
that he knew nothing about Fast and
Furious, except that he needed to
exert Executive Privilege to protect
his communications with Eric Holder
about this program of which he had
no knowledge.
He knew nothing about the
Associated Press telephone
surveillance by his Justice
Department.
He knew nothing about the
IRS targeting of conservative groups
for audits, learning about it on the
news.
He knew very little about Benghazi
except that the attack was the result
of an anti-Muslim video, which was
disproved on a 2 am phone call the
next day after the attack between
Secretary Clinton and the Deputy
Minister in charge of the embassy in
Libya.
We have learned that all these
events under investigation took place
before the elections in November.
We have learned that with
Republicans, all of this is political.
With Democrats, none of this is politi-
cal.
We have learned from Chris
Matthews and Al Sharpton of
MSNBC, that all of this falderal is
racist.
All these events and testimonies
would lead one to the inescapable
conclusion that O.J. Simpson would
be a perfect fit in the Obama admin-
istration, as he too, knows absolutely
nothing about events that he orches-
trated and participated in, that have
landed him in prison for an extended
stay.

Didnt Get The Joke
Poor, poor Mr. Lowdermilk.
Couldnt open that folder of money
and take a cab; instead, braved the
wild, real world (Safety First

You, sir, holding your dollars close
should not deride the students, the
working class and seniors to name
a few who respect the bus drivers
and commend the reliable service
provided to all of us.
Montecito: gather your movie stars,
snobs, and billionaires (walking on
water), and take a long look at your-
selves (which is all most of you do
actually). You cannot hold a candle,
as the saying goes, to anyone us!
Why sign a name!

(Mr. Lowdermilk responds: For the
sake of public transportation safety, all
I was suggesting is that saving one life is
worth any amount of money, especially if
its someone elses money.
How could you, in the security of
your anonymous bubble, be against
seat belts (for the children!), helmets
for passengers, full-body airbags or roll
bars?
If it adds $30 (or more) to the price
of bus ticket or $1,000 for a new car
purchase, as Hillary would say, What
difference does it make?

might help tune-up your sense of

SBcAG Weighs in on
mAs Highway Plan
Village Beat
by Kelly Mahan

A
fter spending $175,000 and
1,600 hours evaluating the
Montecito Associations alter-
native for the Highway 101, Caltrans
has rejected the plan, solidifying its
position that retaining Montecitos
left-hand freeway exits is not a via-
ble design strategy. Caltrans Director
Malcolm Dougherty, as well as
Caltrans Senior Project Engineer Scott
Eades, was in front of the Santa Barbara
County Association of Governments
(SBCAG) board last Thursday, dis-
cussing why the MAs plan falls short.
The South Coast High Occupancy
Vehicle (HOV) project, expected to
break ground in Montecito in 2016,
is the fourth phase of a larger HOV
project. It will add a third, part-time
carpool lane through Carpinteria and
Montecito. The entire project, expected
to cost $450 million and span almost
11 miles of freeway, will require sev-
eral interchanges along the freeway
to be rebuilt to accommodate a third
lane. As part of the project, Caltrans
has required all fast-lane exits be
removed, including the northbound
Cabrillo Blvd off-ramp and south-
bound Sheffield Drive off-ramp, due
to safety concerns.
Seeing issues with construction
time, cost, and overlooked safe-
ty and congestion issues, the MAs
Transportation Committee, chaired by
Bob Short, enlisted Tom Bollay, Ron
Pulice and Jack Overall as commit-
tee members because of their techni-
cal backgrounds. With their exper-
tise and connections, the group hired
engineers and highway construction
managers to address the issues of
south coast residents regarding safety,
impacts, time, and money.
Dubbed the Community Coalition
Alternative Plan (CCAP), the plan
calls for keeping the southbound left-
hand exit at Hot Springs/Cabrillo and
changing Los Patos from an exit to
an entrance. Northbound, the plan
calls for closing the fast lane exit at
Cabrillo, and replacing it with a north-
bound exit at Cabrillo, which would
feed into a wider, shifted roundabout.
Eades, who made an hour-long
presentation touching on the major
design aspects of the freeway widen-
ing, ascertains that the CCAP would
not meet current highway safety stan-
dards.
The left-hand exit ramps in
Montecito are not supported by State
and Federal standards due to safety
and operational problems. The ramps,
which the CCAP maintains in order
to lessen construction and monetary
impacts in Montecito, require slow
moving vehicles and trucks to transi-
tion across all lanes, as well as merge
with high-speed traffic before exiting.
If drivers encounter features that
they are not used to, thats where
we encounter safety issues, Eades
said. He also pointed out that revised
design manuals for California man-
date that all freeway entrances and
exits shall connect through the right
of through traffic. Dougherty added:
It is against my principles to build
a new six-lane highway that current
highway safety standards and my
engineering background tell me is not
safe.
Other flaws in the CCAP include
the need for land acquisition to move
the Montecito roundabout, as well
as the design challenges surrounding
the Los Patos railroad bridge. The
roundabout would require land from
the nearby Montecito Country Club
golf course, which makes the course
non-functional, Eades said, and the
railroad bridge (dubbed Iron Mike
by some locals) is not high enough
to accommodate a new southbound
entrance, which the CCAP calls for.
The Highway
101 expan-
sion through
Montecito was
the subject of
a four-hour
SBCAG meeting

For close to a year, the Montecito
Associations Transportation
Committee has said its plan would
save millions in taxpayer money, as
well as months of construction, which
could minimize the adverse effects on
local business in Montecito. But Eades
pointed out that both design alterna-
tives cost about the same: $44.76 mil-
lion for the CCAP and $43.54 million
for the Caltrans F-modified alterna-
tive. The construction times are also
similar; Caltrans says its plan would
take 24-29 months, not the 51 months
reported by the Association.
According to Eades, Caltrans also
promises to keep two lanes in each
direction open during the construc-
tion phase, and commits that there
will be no ramp closures for extended
periods that would potentially divert
traffic into local neighborhoods.
We have fully analyzed, through
the environmental process, public
input, as well as fully analyzed the
information weve gotten from the
Montecito Association, Dougherty
said.
Jack Overall, as well as a hired engi-
neer from Mount Pacific Incorporated,
defended the CCAP, maintaining that
the proposal will save the commu-
nity up to $60 million in construc-
tion costs, 2-4 years in construction
time, and environmental impacts, as
well as reduce negative impacts on
regional and local business. Despite
what youve heard, we still think its a
viable alternative, he said.
After listening to the presentations,
as well as public comment, SBCAG
members voted 7-6 on a three-part
motion, offered by First District
Supervisor Salud Carbajal. The first
part of the motion, which passed by
majority, calls for starting and stop-
ping the HOV lane south of Sheffield,
an idea suggested by the Montecito
Association. The second and third
part of the motion entail including
the study of the CCAP in the proj-
ects EIR, and possibly re-circulating
the Environmental Document, which
could delay the project even further.

T
he Courthouse Legacy
Foundation (CLF) had a most
unique gala for 112 lucky peo-
ple in the Mural Room a sit-down
dinner, an extremely rare event. If
These Walls Could Talk! was the
theme. As master of ceremonies Frank
Goss said, I feel like Im dining with
kings and queens.
The elegant attire of the guests
complemented the setting, which was
never a courtroom, but built to house
the County Board of Supervisors.
Since they now meet elsewhere, the
Mural Room is mostly used for cer-
emonial purposes. After the observa-
tion tower it is the most visited place
in the Courthouse.
The romanticized murals were
painted by Dan Sayre Groesbeck who
became famous as a set and costume
designer for Cecil B. DeMille. I sat
next to docent Joanne Rapp who
told me, Pictured in the mural as
characters are Errol Flynn and Peter
Pan, It took Groesbeck and two assis-
tants four months to complete the
murals and he was paid $9,000.
The ceilings were painted by
Giovanni Smeraldi from Palermo,
Sicily, who had worked in the Vatican
before he came to America to paint the
Grand Central Terminal celestial ceil-
ing in New York in 1912. He also deco-
rated the Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel.
The red velvet draperies in the Mural
Room are original from 83 years ago.
Legacy president Bill Mahan
declares, We need $700,000 to restore
the Mural Room for future genera-
tions. The CLF will make it happen
and plans to begin renovations in
2015. We get 65,000 visitors a year
and the Mural Room is booked up
for weddings until 2015. An interest-
ing side note is the Courthouse cost
$1,386,000 to build, but the bid was
only $900,000. In 1927, there was an
oil boom and the city was able to
pay the shortfall with an oil tax. The
Courthouse was dedicated in August
of 1929 just before the depression or
it probably would never have been
built.
A surprise treat was the cast of
raconteurs: Robert Ooley as Dan Sayer
Groesbec, Miller James as Cabrillo,
Rodney Baker as a Franciscan Friar,
Bill Egan was Capitan John Freemont,
Mak Manson played Errol Flynn,
Tessa Miller was Peter Pan and Leslie
Story played the Drape Lady who all
put on an historical skit.
Frank Goss told us a tale of George
Washingtons hatchet and then had
everyone reach under their chairs
for an envelope with plastic hatchets
inside that lit up along with a request
for donations to preserve the Mural
Room. Among some of the large
donors were Sharon Bradford with
$50,000, Loretta Redd and sponsors
the Harold Simmons Foundation,
the Michael Towbes Fund and the
Ayrshire Foundation. More were
David and Louise Borgatello, Lynn
Kirst and Lynn Matteson, Maryan
and Dick Schall, and Frank and
Sheila McGinity.
This impressive event was orga-
nized by Alice Van De Water and
her committee: Sue Adams, Rodney
Baker, Herb Barthels, Carol Fell,
Bill Mahan, Keith Mautino and Jean
Scheibe. The community built the
courthouse together we are creat-
ing the legacy. To become a friend of

An Afternoon
At The Fair
Think back to a simpler time when
gents wore boaters and umbrellas kept
the ladies shaded. Ensemble Theatres
annual benefit at the home of Hal
and Mary Coffin in Montecito Valley
Ranch was the setting for about 300
folks who enjoyed an old fashioned
fair.
The afternoon began with a VIP
reception in the Coffins home. The
fair marquee, food and game sta-
tions were set up in their very large
back yard, or perhaps garden is
the word. While we strolled the sta-
tions sampling an array of food as we
went, the barbershop sounds of the
Masterpiece Quartet could be heard.

artist, palm reader and games like
throwing darts at balloons. Im still no
good at that.
We gathered at our table in the tent
for more entertainment. Executive
Artistic Director Jonathan Fox
thanked our hosts and remarked,
Today if I wanted to have something
unusual to see at the fair, it would
be See the Man with no Tattoos. How
times have changed!
Campaign co-chair Derek Westen
gave an update. This next Ensemble
season begins December 2013 to July
2014 because of construction of the
New Vic. The first show in the new
theatre will be A Little Night Music and
one of the Ensemble singers sang the
favorite, Send in the Clowns.
Geoff Green kept the auction
lively and Paula Yurkanis Bruice
was event chair. Her busy commit-
tee was Gail Beust, Rey Castillo,
Ruth Heeger, Helene Segal, Missy
Sheldon, John and Ruth Matuszeski,
Amanda McBride, Julie Weiner and
Carol Wilburn.
Ensembles next production this
year is Frankie and Johnny in the Clair
de Lune and runs from June 6 to June
23. Call 965-5400 for information.

Heart Ball
The American Heart Association
(AHA) gave its 14th annual Heart
Ball at the Bacara Resort and Spa. Ball
might be a stretch because the dress
code was jeans with red or white
tops hardly your usual ballgown,
but matching the theme Heart of the
Matter Red & White Gala.
After cocktails and dinner, co-chairs
Janet Garufus and David Edelman,
both on the executive leadership team,
welcomed and pointed out the heart
healthy vegetable centerpieces. These
were to highlight a new Healthy
Futures program to fight youth obe-
sity in Santa Barbara, which can lead
to heart disease and stroke. As David
said, If you aint doin nothing, do
something. The kids are being edu-
cated in how to choose healthier foods
and take responsibility for their own
heart health.
These schools are on the 2013
Healthy Futures list: Cleveland,
McKinley, Adams, Franklin, Harding
and Adelante Charter. Each has a
sponsor to be thanked: Santa Ynez
Band of Chumash Indians, Mentor
Worldwide LLC, Montecito Bank &
Trust, Sansum Clinc, BMW Santa
Barbara and MarBorg Industries.
Executive director Lisa Dosch told
us, We had 1,000 participants in
this years Heart Walk and raised
$192,000. Heart survivor and Zoo
CEO Rich Block thanked board presi-
dent Dr. Joseph Aragon for what the
Heart Association and local doctors
did for him. My bypass (three way)
was not related to Highway 101. He
will live the rest of his life differently.
Auctioneers Andrew Firestone and
Jake Parnell led the bids for rest,
relax, uncork and unwind kind of
items to add to the coffers. The AHA
group hopes their events will be a
wake up call to all who attend.

The invitation came with a paper
monkey swinging on a vine, saying,
Lets Go Bananas! to celebrate the
80
th
birthday of Dean Mars. The
Yacht Club cocktail tables were filled
with monkeys (not alive) and bananas
too. Dean and Melinda are active in
the Zoo and I remember a memorable
birthday party they gave there for her
birthday. Their family joined in the
festivities with son Tyler and wife,

magic castle milt
It was time to celebrate Milt
Larsens birthday. You may know
him as the founder of the Magic
Castle in Hollywood, a private club
for magicians. You can be sure youll
have a good time when Milts wife,
Arlene, plans a party. She is also a
professional costume designer in her
own right.
Their home overlooking the har-
bor was filled to the brim with a
myriad of friends from many walks
of life including Marilyn McMahon,
Hiroko Benko, Joyce Shaar, Barbara
Anderson, Mayor Helene Schneider,
song writer Richard Sherman (of
Mary Poppins fame with rehears-
als beginning for the Jungle Book
on Broadway) and wife Elizabeth,
Diana and Ralph MacFarlane, Jane
and Dan Litchfield, Erin Graffy
and Jim de Garcia, Chad and
Ginni Dreier and Dolly and Andy
Granatelli.
Ulysses Jazz Band was sitting on
the terrace and partway into the bed-
room for space. As Arlene joked, Ive
never had a band in my bedroom
before! Besides the band there were
balloons, confetti, paper hats and food
everywhere including Milts Magic
Castle chili, which I make at home.
Dee-licious!
Friends and wine. The older the
better and good to celebrate with. MJ

Your Westmont
Adams elementary Runs
Away with city Track Title
by Scott Craig (photos by Brad Elliott)
T
wo hundred elementary
school children enjoyed a day
at Westmont College May 17,
competing in the Santa Barbara City
Elementary Schools Track and Field
Meet. Fourth through sixth grade
students from Washington, Adams,
Cleveland, McKinley and Franklin
Elementary schools competed in sev-
eral track and field events, including
long jump, high jump, softball toss,
shot put and various foot races.
Adams took first place in the team
competition with 174 points, while
Franklin finished second with 158 and
Washington had 134.
The track meet was the brain child
of Amy Alzina, Westmont alumna
and Adams Elementary School prin-
cipal, and Russell Smelley, Westmont
head track and field coach. They hope
to make the meet an annual event that
will include students from all Santa
Barbara-area schools.
Westmont track and field athletes,
who are training for the national
championships this week in Indiana,
served as volunteers, timing and
measuring the events. Winners were
awarded Westmont T-shirts.
After the event, students toured the
campus and enjoyed eating in the col-
leges Dining Commons.
local Artists earn Awards
in confluence exhibition
Peter Frank, a Los Angeles-based
art critic, handed cash awards to
local artists at a public reception
for Confluence on May 16 in the
Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of
Art. Xarene Eskandars single-chan-
nel video, Salton Sea Revisited, won
Best in Show.
People have been enjoying the
wide variety of works, including
prints, drawings, paintings, concep-
tual, sculpture and new media, says
Judy L. Larson, director of the muse-
um. Many thought it was great that a
new media piece won the top prize.
The annual juried art exhibition,
which features works created by Tri-
County artists, is on display through
June 22. All works in the exhibition
will be for sale with proceeds benefit-
ing the artists and museum.
Frank, who juried the show, told
the crowd of more than 350 people
that he was pleased to have encoun-
tered many wonderful artists who
were new to him and encouraged
additional local artists to submit
works next year. The show features
the works of 43 local artists from more
than 350 submissions.
Westmont senior Casey
Underwoods Sought VI, a photo
emulsion, chine colle on paper earned
Honorable Mention as did Peter
Zaleskis Stepladder 2, a mixed
media on panel. The Westmont Art
Council also honored Jim McAninchs
Heaven and Earthmover: Cast of Last
Polystyrene McDonalds Container,
Luis Velazquezs Seedpod, a piece
of wood, chicken wire, ceramic plates,
synthetic fur, moss and seaweed, and
Dorothy Churchill-Johnsons oil on
canvas, Suits: David No. 1.
Larson says local artists can start
planning ahead for what to submit to
next years juried show, which will be
called Made You Look! MJ

live to Ride
Ernies World
by Ernie Witham
Want to live the glamorous lifestyle of a humor columnist? Take Ernies work-
shop at this years Santa Barbara Writers Conference. Also, check out the great
speaker line-up at sbwriters.com.
F
or years I had been pining for a
new car. The one I had was so
old I think it was built before
they had assembly lines. The pas-
senger side window was often stuck
in the down position, which was the
only form of working ventilation. The
windshield wipers only worked if it
wasnt raining. And the radio only got
one AM station that played nothing
but ads in Spanish.
But people from New England dont
just throw things like cars away if they
still worked or if they might work
with a bit of tinkering. Thats why
they invented front yards and cinder
blocks. Plus, in Southern California, it
only rains a few days a year anyway,
and you dont really need a radio
because there is always someone driv-
ing near you listening to rap music at
a level 15 decibels above a jet engine.
Therefore, I drove the same car, day
after day, year after year. I washed it
every spring, added a bit of oil during
the summer months when the exhaust
clouds seemed to be less blue, and put
a new political bumper sticker over
the old bumper stickers every fourth
autumn when presidential elections
were held. I often wondered if my
Eisenhower/Nixon sticker might have
been worth something if I could have
gotten back down to that layer.
Then, just recently, I was in a car
accident, which dented me up pretty
good and crumpled my car into a
shape that wouldnt have balanced on
cinder blocks even if the condo asso-
ciation allowed it. So, just like that, we
bought a brand new car!
Ive got to tell you, cars have
changed! For one thing they are safer
now. Im not sure if my old car had
an airbag but if it did it didnt feel
obligated to show itself during my
accident. This car has so many airbags
that if I do get hit again I wont have
to worry about making contact with
the dashboard, ceiling or the doors. Of
course I may get ballooned to death.
My new ride is also a technical mar-
vel. The minute I slip into the drivers
seat excuse me, heated drivers seat
it syncs my iPhone through the
Bluetooth system. Then if someone
calls, it rings through the stereo speak-
ers, and all I have to do is hit a little
button to answer:
Hello! This is Ernie. Im answering
my car phone while my actual phone
is still in my pocket. Is that amazing
or what
Yeah. Amazing. Can we please go
now?
I looked over at my wife who was
calling me from the passenger seat.
Roger that. Over and out!
And please either turn down your
seat temperature or turn on the air
conditioning. Its a sauna in here.
Wow, I didnt know it had a sauna!
Cool!
My new car also has an ECON set-
ting that allows you to save gasoline
as you drive. You can tell if its work-
ing because the dashboard has green
bars instead of blue.
All systems are green. I repeat all
systems are green.
Thats good Dear, but at eighteen
miles per hour, its going to take us
forever to get to the movie.
Good point. I reset the cruise con-
trol for nineteen. Yes! Still green!
Another nice thing, the stereo sys-
tem will play DVDs, songs from my
iPod, regular radio, or satellite radio.
Wow, so thats what happened to the
Grateful Dead. They are now on a satel-
lite. Wonder if it looks like a VW van?
I dont know, but can you turn
it down a bit? The guy playing rap
beside us just complained.
This vehicle also tells you how
many more miles you can go before
you need to fill up, the temperature
outside, and how many miles per gal-
lon you are averaging.
But my favorite feature is the back-
up camera. The minute you put it in
reverse it shows you exactly whats
behind you, and it has guidelines to
help you back up straight.
Yes, that is a wonderful feature,
Dear. But I think other drivers find it
confusing when you drive this way.
Plus, we are now definitely late for
the movie.
Roger that! Ill bet they have hov-
ercraft by the time I get my next new
car. MJ
Im not sure if my old car had an airbag but if it did it

The 400 ppm Solution
Imagine my shock and horror when
I read that the horrible 400 ppm
CO2 level in our atmosphere had
been reached. Apparently, we are all
doomed... to have to read more about
this in order to sell more newspa-
pers?
The usual suspects have been try-
ing to scare us for several years
saying that if the ratio of carbon
dioxide in the air gets to 400 parts
per million, it will be the threshold
for uncontrollable warming. This is
absolutely rubbish, but people pro-
mulgating this fiction have managed
to scare many.
Remember how the Y2K bug was
going to cause disaster? No, you
hardly do. That Cassandra group
had a problem. They set a particular
date for the end of the world. When
the date arrived the disaster did not
occur and the whole thing was seen
as exaggerated.
The environmental exaggerators
have been saying doom is coming
but not just yet, a wise ploy. But now
they have made a specific prediction:
doom will occur at 400. Actually life
will go on as if nothing had hap-
pened and with a little luck they
will be significantly discredited. Look
for moving the goalposts, e.g., We
meant doom would only arrive when
it was 400 ppm all year, or for five
years in succession
The current levels of carbon dioxide
in the earths atmosphere, approach-
ing 400 parts per million, are low
by the standards of geological and
plant evolutionary history. Levels
were 3,000 ppm, or more, until the
Paleocene period (beginning about 65
million years ago). For most plants,
and for the animals and humans that
use them, more carbon dioxide, far
from being a pollutant in need of
reduction, would be a benefit. This is
already widely recognized by opera-
tors of commercial greenhouses, who
artificially increase the carbon diox-
ide levels to 1,000 ppm or more to
improve the growth and quality of
their plants.
People should be made aware that
there is substantially more photosyn-
thesis-plant growth worldwide with
higher C02 levels. This is elegantly
demonstrated by the amount C02
falls cyclically every year, as plant life
takes up C02.
The demonized chemical com-
pound is a boon to plant life and has
little correlation with global tempera-
ture.
I do not believe humans are warm-
ing the planet, but even if we are,
humans do better in warmer climates:
note the location of Olduvai Gorge,
less than 200 miles from the equator.

T
he Montecito Heat Index mea-
sures present demand for
Montecito single-family houses
in five distinct price sectors. And since
real estate activity fluctuates season-
ally, todays Heat score is compared to
a year ago today. All data are from the
Santa Barbara MLS and are uniformly
deemed reliable.
Todays Heat score is 130, an impres-
sive increase of 69.2% over last year.
The $1m and under group, which
lit up post market collapse, is no
longer large enough to measure as
these properties which sold off the
hook after the downturn have moved
upward to the $1-2m sector, and thus
we return to measuring five sectors
rather than six to determine present
demand.
The overwhelming favorite among
Buyers today continues to be not the
iconic Montecito estate property, but
rather the typically under 2,000-sq-ft,
2-3 bedroom home on an acre or less.
This group scored a 73 and is responsi-
ble for over half of our present demand
and an increase of 260% over last year.
The $2-3m sector found consider-
able Buyer interest with a strong sec-
ond score of 36, also well above last
years score of 8.
The $3-4m group, with actually a
few more properties to consider than
on this date last year, underperformed
by 118 percent.
The $4-5m group also underper-
formed, however, with a score of 5
compared to last years 15, and the
high end $5m and up group came in
half as strong as last year with a score
of 5.
Although the demand story here in
Montecito continues to be in the lower
end sectors, the solid activity in the
median and higher end is impressive
and welcomed. Our market is clearly
a stronger, more balanced one than we
have seen in the last five years.
Although the Montecito market is
moving in the right direction, and for
more price sectors, actual sales so far
this year compared to last are down
by 2%. Hope Ranch is having a dif-
ferent experience up 166%, as is East
of State up 2%, West of State up 26%,
and Goleta South and North up 9
and 14% respectively. Where we stand
out is price appreciation. Montecitos
median price is up 46% at $2.675m,
twice the increase of the next strongest
area, Goleta North.
Meanwhile, new listings here in
Montecito are down, and for our
most in demand $1-2m sector, listings
are way down 200% in fact. Thats
significant. With Buyers having less
looks, Sellers will continue to tighten
their fists on both price and terms.
So, where are we? If we call this a
Sellers market, you will get immedi-
ate sheepish grins from Buyers who
believe a big opportunity is at hand to
score at more or less 2003 price levels
with nearly free money. Perhaps, yet
we cant overlook that Sellers have

lounge chairs Stolen from High Road
Tuesday, 7 May 11:36 am Deputy Johnson spoke to a woman living on High
Road in Montecito regarding a theft from her home. The woman reported that
in late February of this year, two lounge chairs were stolen from the front of
her home. She attempted to file a report in March but was not home when the
deputies came to take a report, so she was just now finding time to report the
thefts. The lounge chairs are described as white luxury chairs, worth $1,100
each. A report was taken.

Hamilton said of the book, which is
the fifth in a string of non-fiction nov-
els the author has produced.
Hamilton shared a synopsis of the
book with us. Madeline Ridley has all
shed ever dreamed of: a handsome,
successful husband, a place at the top
of Santa Barbara society, every luxury
money could buy. In all respects, her
world is perfect until she awakes in
the early morning hours in a strange
hotel room, alone, unclothed, with a
splitting headache and no clue as to
how she had gotten there.
When Steven Ridley comes home
in the middle of a weekday and
throws a sheaf of damning photos
at her, Madelines comfortable world
collapses in a swirl of blackmail, sabo-
tage and deceit. Hoping to convince
Steven of her innocence, Madeline
drives to his office and unwittingly
stumbles onto a scene that makes her
comprehend who the enemy really is.
From that point on, Madeline
Ridley deconstructs herself, reverting
back to Madeline Dawkins in order to
salvage whats left of her life. In the
process, she discovers where her true
strengths lie, and with those, she steels
herself for the battle of a lifetime.
On her website (cynthiahamilton
books.com), Hamilton gives a glimpse
into the second installment of the
book. The book is available on www.
amazon.com.
Ed Wimberly, a Montecito-based
Psychologist who has practiced for
37 years from his Coast Village Road
office, announces that his 2009 book,
Parenting with an Attitude, is available
in electronic form.
The book, which gives parents 21
questions to ask themselves about
their parenting skills, is a launch pad
for raising successful kids, Wimberly
said in a recent interview. Loving our
kids is not enough. He formulated
the 21 questions through his almost
four decades as a marriage and family
therapist. The questions give parents
ideas for ways to love their kids that
dont come instinctually, he said.
Wimberly also hosts a website where
he has added new content pertain-
ing to parenting, marriage, and other
subjects. You will find around fifty
articles I have written on a number of
subjects, such as some very important
differences I see between punishment
and discipline, and a number of false
assumptions many parents I believe
make about their role and respon-
sibility as a parent, he said. I will
be adding more of my thoughts and
ideas on these and other related topics
on a regular basis.

crane School
Goes Greek
The Coral Casino was transformed
into Mount Olympus on Saturday,
May 4 when Crane Country Day
School hosted its annual fundraising
benefit, inspired by the theme Togas
& Tiaras: Crane Goes Greek.
This years annual event once
again exceeded our fundraising goals
thanks to the parents generosity,
said Debbie Williams, Development
Director. Advance sponsorships cov-
ered the cost of the event, enabling all
money raised at the party to directly
benefit the 85-year-old, K-8 indepen-
dent school in Montecito.
Head of School Joel Weiss opened
the event by thanking the committee
chairs, and then introduced two of the
evenings demigods, veteran teachers
Pat Bixler and Phil von Phul, who are
both celebrating their 30th year teach-
ing at Crane. Whats special about
tonight is that we are acknowledging
the extremely impressive tenure of
two of Cranes teachers, Weiss said.
Pat Bixler and Phil von Phul, both
Upper School science teachers (Bixler
also teaches math; von Phul also
teaches geography), have been work-
ing at Crane for three decades. Weiss
encouraged the 250 guests to think
about what they were doing in 1983,
the year Bixler and von Phul arrived at
Crane. Its a truly remarkable under-
taking to work at an institution for
thirty years. That level of focus on one
institution demands and commands
respect.
Two other men, Geoff Friedman
and JC Gordon, were praised for
their efforts chairing the event, mark-
ing the second time in Cranes his-
tory that dads assumed the helm. Both
men brought hospitality experience
(as well as the toga theme) to the
event. The men, who bonded while
working the barbeque at the Crane
Country Fair (which Geoffs wife, Ali
Oshinsky, has chaired for three years)
agree that Crane is not just a place for
the students, its a whole community
for parents, past parents, staff, teach-
ers and future students, according to
Friedman.
The evening exceeded fundraising
goals via raffle, silent and live auc-
tions. The live auction, led by auc-
tioneer Sean Kelly, included trips

tion was Mediterranean cornucopia,

gods and spray-painted white posed
on pedestals during the cocktail hour,

THiS Week (Continued from page 11)
Amat arrived in Santa Barbara with his
precious cargo on Sunday, December
2, 1855. The following morning, he
was met by several conveyances that
carried him to his lodging at the new
college.
On Tuesday morning, the remains
of the new Saint were transferred
without ceremony to the home of Don
Jos de la Guerra. At four oclock that
afternoon, the boom of the cannon
signaled the pending arrival of Bishop
Amat who was followed by the fri-
ars, choristers, and seminarians, all
with crosses held high. At Casa de la
Guerra, Saint Vibiana was reverently
placed in a carreta pulled by eight
white clad young girls. The route to
Our Lady of Sorrows was so crowded
with the faithful, the cart had to stop
with each step. When the procession
arrived at the Church, the stretcher
with the Saints body was placed on
a table especially made for it. Bishop
Amat explained that she was a gift
signifying the Pontiffs love for the
people of Santa Barbara.
It was fitting that the humble adobe
chapel would be the resting place for
the humble saint. With her life story
completely unknown, it was difficult
to ascribe certain virtues to her or see
her as a role model. She was a mystery
and the populace entertained many
ideas about her.
A local journalist said that he con-
curred with the hopes of the congre-
gation that the relics would possess
a miraculous influence, because then
her influence might make the town a
resort.
Though Amat was frequently away
on various priestly travels, he was in
town often enough to know he wasnt
impressed with the Franciscans lax
attitude toward the moral values
and behavior of the parishioners. He
moved Gonzales, the college, and the
rest of the Franciscans to the Mission
and installed his cohort Reverend Blas
Raho, C.M. as pastor of Our Lady of
Sorrows.
In May 1856, the Gazette reported,
We learn that it is the intention of
Bishop Amat to commence soon the
erection of a cathedral in this city,
near the site of the present chapel. The
report further says that on the comple-
tion of the cathedral, the building now
used as a chapel will be converted into
a nunnery Quere. Is this evidence of
the progress of civilization, or does it
indicate a retrogression towards the
Medieval ages?
The Gazette was blasted for anti-
Catholic sentiments, and an offended
reader wrote a lengthy and angry
editorial defending the faith and
reminding the Gazette that history was
preserved by Medieval monks and
scribes. Amat, meanwhile, arranged to
have the foundation stones delivered
to the proposed site of the cathedral.
On February 28, 1857 Bishop Amat
laid the cornerstone of a new Catholic
Church in Montecito, where parish-
ioners had long wanted their own
church. The Gazette reported, Some
200 people were in attendance, and
a most impressive and edifying dis-
course appropriate to the occasion
was delivered by the Bishop.
By July of that year, the church in
Montecito had still not been built, but
the priest went out to Montecito to
celebrate mass on the 16
th
, the feast
day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel,
whom the congregation had taken as
their patron saint. One contemporary
wrote, Some people went from here
[Santa Barbara] and, having joined in
the religious ceremonies, had a good
lunch. They made ice cream and con-
tinued their entertainment until nine
in the morning.
The Way It Was
by Hattie Beresford
The Bishop and the Saint
Ms Beresford is a retired
English and American his-
tory teacher of 30 years in
the Santa Barbara School
District. She is author of
two Noticias, El Mirasol:
From Swan to Albatross
and Santa Barbara
Grocers, for the Santa
Barbara Historical Society.
A
fter the Treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo transferred owner-
ship of Alta California to the
United States, the American Catholic
Church took stock of its new pos-
sessions. Santa Barbara in 1851 had
two priests, a good stone church at
the Mission, a small adobe asisten-
cia at Cieneguitas (Modoc Road near
Hollister) where a large group of
Christianized Indians lived, and an
adobe church at the old Presidio.
More help for serving the faithful
was on the way, however, for a new
Bishop was coming to town. Born in
Barcelona in 1810, Thaddeus Amat
y Brusi was ordained as a Lazarist
priest before journeying to Louisiana
to work as a missionary in 1838.
By 1853, he no longer dwelt in the
bayou but was back in civilization in
Philadelphia where he received a sum-
mons to Rome to accept a new assign-
ment, that of Bishop of Monterey.
Supposedly, he was so unenthusiastic
about returning to the Wild West, that
he fled to Spain to avoid the Papal
summons.
That same year, an excavation of the
Pretestato Catacombs near the Appian
Way in Rome revealed the tomb of an
unknown 3
rd
century Christian mar-
tyr, Vibiana. It was apparent from the
marble inscription which read to the
soul of the innocent and pure Vibiana
followed by a carved laurel wreath, an
early Christian symbol for martyr-
dom, that she had died for her faith.
The bones, also, suggested a violent
death, and a rose-colored vial found
in the sepulcher seemed to contain
dried blood. Pope Pius the IX ordered
a quick and immediate investigation
and without the normal pomp and
circumstance declared her a saint.
Ignoring nearly 4,000 petitions for
custody of this holy relic, he bestowed
her upon the pending new Bishop
of Monterey on two conditions. He
was to build a cathedral in her name,
and he was to make her the princi-
pal patroness of the diocese. It was
an offer Amat couldnt refuse, so on
March 12, 1854, Thaddeus Amat was
consecrated Bishop of Monterey, and
Santa Barbara was chosen as his head-
quarters.
In June of that year in Santa Barbara,
the Very Reverend Gonzales-Rubio
and three other Franciscans of the
Mission acquired the Nicolas Den
property on the northeast corner
of State and Figueroa Streets plus a
lot across the street behind the Hill-
Carrillo Adobe. They remodeled the
Den Adobe into a chapel and living
quarters. They also began construc-
tion of Nuestra Senora de Dolores
(Our Lady of Sorrows) and estab-
lished the College for the Propagation
of the Faith, which intended to train
missionaries in ministering to the
spiritual needs of the Indians.

Amat Heads
for Greener Pastures
About this time, Amat returned
to Rome to recruit assistance for the
diocese and sent the Daughters of
Charity to Santa Barbara to open St.
Vincents, a combination orphanage,
academy and day school. Tired of his
power struggle with the Franciscans,
he requested, and was granted, per-
mission to move his residence to Los
Angeles and assume the title of Bishop
of Monterey and Los Angeles.
By 1859, the adobe church of Our
Lady of Mount Carmel in Montecito
was complete and attended by priests
from Santa Barbara. Amat, however,
departed for L.A. leaving his precious
bones behind at Our Lady of Sorrows.
Some sources claim he installed them
in the reconstructed Plaza Church
in 1861; others say Vibiana was not
moved until fire destroyed Our
Lady of Sorrows in 1865. Regardless,
Viviana somehow survived the inter-
vening years, wax effigy intact.
Amat kept his promise to Pope Pius
and laid the cornerstone for a new
cathedral in 1871. Upon completion
of the cathedral in 1876, Los Angeles
became the official see of the diocese
and Vibiana became the patron of the
City of Angels. Her effigy found a new
place of repose in a large and ornate
gilt-edged glass reliquary high above
the altar.
There she resided for nearly one
hundred years, an obscure saint about
whom there were no stories and to
whom no miracles were attributed
(unless one counts Santa Barbara hav-
ing become a resort town). In the
1940s she lost her status as patroness
of Los Angeles in favor of Mary, Our
Lady of the Angels, in the 1950s her
feast day was dropped from the litur-
gical calendar, and in 1976 she lost her
place above the high altar and was
removed from public view.
Plans had been afoot to replace
the Cathedral of St. Vibiana for a
larger, more imposing edifice for
years but lack of funds and wars and
Depression interfered. Then the 1974
the Northridge earthquake severely
damaged the Cathedral, which had
become increasingly dilapidated
along with the neighborhood. The
time seemed right.
Plans to immediately demolish the
Cathedral where thwarted by pres-
ervationists who wanted to save
the church which had been a City
Landmark since 1963. A legal battle
ensued. In the interim, the saints
bones were removed to mausoleum at
Calvary Cemetery.
It was a happy ending for all when
the Church completed its imposing
modern Cathedral in 2002, and the
former cathedral opened as an events
and performing arts center in 2005
under the name Vibiana. Today the
Patron Saint of Nobodies, as she
was dubbed by L.A. Deacon Eric
Stoltz, resides in a simple marble box
in her own chapel in the crypt of Our
Lady of the Angels.

Father virgil Revisited
State Street Spin
by Erin Graffy de Garcia
S
eems hard to believe, but it has
been five years since Father Virgil
Cordano passed away.
I remember Ralph McNall once
described the beloved local priest as the
most non-denominational Franciscan I
ever met. Which might explain why
people embraced Virgil as a sort of
unofficial pastor of the whole city.
Virgil had a very open mind and an
inclusive spirit, and as he oft remarked
everybody is welcome at Gods table.
Well, the Franciscan community had
sought to honor and remember him
on this anniversary of his death. So
during this weekend of I Madonnari
street-painting festival, the Friars at
the Mission will be hanging a tribute
banner to Virgil and passing out holy
cards. They want people to bring in
their memories with Father Virgil.
And by the way, Father Larry
Goslin, the new associate pastor at
the Old Mission, is renewing that
presence in community outreach that
Virgil had, and local residents are lov-
ing it. Recently, Father Larry served as
a delightful emcee for the Old Spanish
Days Spirit of Fiesta contest. Next up,
he will be reading from his new book
of poetry Hidden Sweetness at the new
and about-to-be-ready-for-prime-time
Granada Books at 1223 State Street on
Thursday, May 23 from 5 to 7 pm. Lite
bites and libations served.

Rising Talent featured
at music club concert
Marilyn Gilbert relates that a nice
concert featuring the next generation
of performers will be highlighted
by the Santa Barbara Music Club.
This will be the clubs 43rd season of
admission-free chamber music con-
certs and will feature a showcase
recital of their 2013 scholarship win-
ners. The SMBC scholarships com-
mittee heard a record number of
applicants this year both instrumen-
talists and vocalists between the ages
of 8 and 27. So this will make for an
interesting concert on Saturday, June
8 at 3 pm in the Faulkner Gallery
in the downtown Library. All free

Bacara Welcomes
Santa Barbara
I went to the relaunch of the Bacara
a reception for members of the pub-
lic by the new owners. Wow. They
made it clear that they are pursu-
ing a complete community-oriented
philosophy to their operation. The
enthusiasm and sincerity left the
several hundred people at the lush
posh bash (try to say that three times
quickly!) pleasantly impressed. They
seek more community events to have
there.
One event upcoming in another
week: the Bacara is hosting a private
screening of SOMM before its nation-
wide release. Are you familiar with
the film? It had sold-out attendance at
the Film Festival. It is a documentary
that tells the story about four guys
trying to pass the ber-intimidating
Master Sommelier exam and one of
them is from Santa Barbara. Adding to
the ingestible interest of this screening
will be wonderful food and wine... by
the Bacara, of course. (June 2 from 3 to
6:30 pm; cost is $65. Call 974-5140 for
more information and tickets.)
Another Scoop
On the subject of favorite food
groups, the big scoop I hear (pun
intended) is that McConnells Fine
Ice Cream will be opening a flagship
store down on lower state street just
in time to get in plenty of good licks
for the summer. (Further uptown, the
independent McConnells retail store
at Mission and De La Vina keeps the
northside happily cool.)
Winston novel
in new novel
Buddy Winston was in town and
we had a fine time hosting The
Baron Ron Herron on his own
radio show last week. That is to say,
the Baron is on air every morning
(KZSB am1290 6 to 10 am) and had
us both on as guests. But open mic
was too much of a temptation for
the two of us, so we took the show
out for a cruise and the Baron came
along for the hilarious ride. Really,
it was a great time and a lot of
laughs. Buddy is a former standup
comedian and writer for The Tonight
Show, while the Baron played the Ed
McMahon role.
All this to say is that Buddy Winston,
former Montecito resident and now
in Ecuador (can you be funny in
Ecuador?), has come out with his new
book, An Out of Buddy Experience.
The subtitle is Tonight Show Writer
Eludes Monk Assassins, and some
copy claims it is based on an incred-
ible true story.
Which I take to mean is that truly
this is one incredible story. It recounts
Buddys adventures to Thailand to
see the Rolling Stones, when he acci-
dentally prevents a bombing to kill a
parade of children. When informed
that he is now the target of the rebel
monk assassins, Buddy embarks
on a wacky journey that finds him
climbing Mt. Everest. (I didnt say
I got all the way to the top, demurs
Buddy). And then he continues fight-
ing for his life while precariously
submerged in a raging river in the
Laos jungle.
(Aha! So this is what he was doing
in all his spare time!)
Find it on Amazon or at Tecolote,
and check out the reviews it sounds
like a fine romp. MJ
Father Virgil Cordano (1919 - 2008) was consid-
ered to be the Pastor for all of Santa Barbara
making people of all faiths feel welcome in
his inclusive spiritual community. He will be
remembered this weekend during activities at the

f you watch, read or listen to the
news you have no doubt heard
the phrase low inventory, which
translates to a very low number of
real estate listings in an area at a given
time. In theory, when there is low
inventory, it tends to drive prices up:
simple supply and demand.
This low inventory is evident today
in Montecito. If you are a buyer right
now and perhaps there are no other
homes listed that you are consider-
ing, and then one hits the market that
you love, buyers can feel the need to
move on it and are often willing to
pay a premium in a lower-inventory
market. However, even the low inven-
tory is not enough motivation to move
every home. Many price ranges only
see a sale a month or so.
Additionally, with low inventory
sometimes comes slow sales months.
In March, I estimated 18 homes sold
in Montecito from my quick investi-
gation. In April there were about 30
homes sold and as many as 10 or
more of these homes were listed as
for statistical purposes only, which
tends to mean, the sellers found a
buyer without going through the
process of placing the home in the
Multiple Listing Service and making
it available to all real estate agents to
try and sell. Its a behind-the-closed-
doors type of sale usually and perhaps
as many as one third of all closings are
in this category of transaction.
In terms of homes that do sell, in
April, of those on the market that
sold (about 22), 19 of them were
Best Buy homes featured here in the
Montecito Journal. And these homes
can go quickly. Regularly, between
the time this article is prepared and
printed and the time the reader reads
it (sometimes only a few days), a fea-
tured home can go into escrow. To see
a number of other listings available,
and to see what your home is worth
when compared to some others on the
market, check out my best buy picks
at www.montecitobestbuys.com.
Here are a few new properties that
hit the market in this past week or
two. From a 100+ year-old historic
remodel project to a top-floor ocean-
view condo to a Spanish home in the
hills on two acres, to a home right
on the sandy beach at Miramar, the
following listings are worth taking a
closer look at.
135 Miramar Avenue - $2,225,000
This early 1900s Hedgerow estate
propertys first owner was renowned
architect William Brownell. The
6-bdrm, 5.5-bath main house has time
period detailing, wood floors, many
fireplaces and classic and generous-
sized rooms. In addition, there is a
one-bedroom guest house with a
two-car garage, pool and pool house
situated on over an acre, just a few
blocks from the beach and lower vil-
lage in Montecito. This property is
ready to be brought into the 21st
century by a new owner. Properties in
the Hedgerow area of Montecito are
within the Montecito Union School
District.
99 Seaview Drive - $2,695,000
Substantial ocean views are rare,
and they are abundant from this top-
floor, corner unit in the Montecito
Shores complex near Butterfly beach.
The home is not on the front row of
oceanfront condos (which are more in
the $4-$5,000,000 range for front row),
yet the home still offers solid ocean

Real Estate by Mark Hunt
Mark and his wife, Sheela Hunt, are in the real estate business. They live in Montecito with their daughter
Sareena, a freshman at SBHS. His family goes back nearly one hundred years in the Santa Barbara area.
Marks grandparents Bill and Elsie Hunt were Santa Barbara real estate brokers for 25 years.
This nearly 100-year-old Hedgerow house at 135
Miramar Avenue has a significant architectural
background and is for sale at $2,225,000
views from the southeast-facing main
windows in the space.
Remodel includes stone fireplace,
granite kitchen and baths and crown
moldings. An extensive effort was
made to open up the floor plan so
that one can better enjoy the gor-
geous ocean views from all rooms.
The units at Montecito Shores are in
the Montecito Union School District.
734 Coyote Road - $2,850,000
Down a private drive shared by a
few homes, is this George Washington
Smith-inspired Spanish villa built in
2000. The main home features fine
details and offers an indoor-outdoor
flow between the rooms and patios.
There are two bedrooms and 2.5 baths
in the main home.
Additionally, there is an attached
guest apartment with a bedroom,
bathroom, living room & kitchen.
There is also a detached Casita with
two rooms and a half bath. The entire
estate is situated on 2+/- garden acres.
Vaulted ceilings, private quiet inti-
mate spaces, a dramatic backdrop,
and the home is located in the Cold
Spring School District.
1558 Miramar Beach - $4,500,000
On the sand at Miramar Beach, and
just a few doors down from the ocean-
front portion of the hotel, is this icon-
ic, recognizable oceanfront residence,
featuring custom plastered walls, teak
cabinetry, granite counter tops and
heated floors. Specifically designed
for vacation rentals or full-time use,
this three-story duplex maximizes
space and can sleep eight. Sweeping
ocean and island views with access
to the sand from balconies on every
level in this deepest sand stretch of the
beach. Convenient to the Coast Village
Road shopping area, this home is in
the Montecito Union School District.

Mary Ellens Exciting Experiences
Montecito Bank & Trust executive,
Mary Ellen Tiffany, is now one third
of the way into her global trek around
the world.
Mary started her once-in-a-lifetime
trip in February after a send off party
at Cava attended by a host of friends,
including Mike and Anne Towbes,
Hiroko Benko, Gretchen Lieff, Lois
Rosen and Debbie Kass.
Its not a bucket list, but a life list!
said the intrepid adventurer. Ive
bought a one-way ticket to Thailand
and Im going from there.
And the destination list has cer-
tainly grown since then, with the lat-
est update having Mary currently in
Oman after an idyllic 12-day stay in
Sri Lanka.
I cant believe how quickly time
has passed, she tells me. My solo
travel really started in Laos and then
Vietnam, where I enjoyed the must
see places of Hanoi, Hoi An and
Ho Chi Minh City. Then it was off
to Kuala Lumpur and Penang in
Malaysia before heading to Bali and
Singapore.
I was fortunate enough to meet up
with a friend of very good Montecito
friend, Karen Kerns, as well as the
daughter of a Santa Barbara couple,
Sam and Sally Fordyce. I found
Singapore, while expensive, a very
enjoyable city and one I hope to visit
again. But then I could say that about
all the places Ive visited!
Next stop was India for two weeks,
visiting a host of sights, including
Delhi, the Taj Mahal and tigers at a
former hunting palace, which is now
a reserve.
The country is truly a feast for the
senses, which at times can be over-
whelming and unnerving. It has a
landscape that seems to come alive
around you in such a colorful, beauti-
ful way despite the amazing condi-
tions that exist.
From there Mary flew to Katmandu
in Nepal where she did some moun-
tain trekking before moving on to Sri
Lanka on the advice of another Santa
Barbara friend, Monika Klein.
I checked into the Barberyn Reef
Ayurveda Resort where the daily
routine followed a diet of vegetarian
meals and three hours of various mas-
sage type treatments, along with yoga
and meditation, which prepared me
for the next leg of my trip to Oman,
Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
After that, plans include the
Seychelles, a safari in Kenya and a
visit to see the gorillas in Rwanda
before heading to Cape Town in South
Africa.
Another update in due course...
Real Estate Woes
Oprah Winfrey may be one of
Americas richest entrepreneurs, but
after a string of recent real estate
investment losses she might consider
keeping her billions in the media busi-
ness.
The former TV talk show titans
most recent hit came as her company
sold retail space that once contained
her Oprah Store at a loss of more than
$1 million.
The sale comes after the companys
closing of the store itself, which was
shuttered after Oprah signed off the
daytime airwaves for good in 2011.
The space, which sat just across
from her Harpo Studios, cost the com-
pany $1.98 million, but ultimately sold
for only $875,000, according to the
Chicago Tribune.
The Oprah Store sold Oprah logo
emblazoned designer wear from
Oprahs Closet, with proceeds going
to charity. It is now being turned into
a meditation center.
This is not the first time an Oprah-
backed real estate investment has
brought a big loss.
Last summer she sold an eight-
bedroom co-op in the Windy Citys
Streeterville neighborhood for $2.75
million, a unit for which she paid a
hefty $5.6 million in 2006 and never
moved in...
Super Star Chris
Volleyball star Chris Tamas has
become the first athlete to be inducted
into Laguna Blanca Schools Hall of
Fame.
Chris, who is currently the assistant
womens volleyball coach at Cal Poly
in San Luis Obispo, was in the class of
99, with his accomplishments most
notable on the volleyball and basket-
ball courts.
After graduating, he played vol-
leyball at the University of the Pacific
and finished his college career as the
schools all-time assist leader, ranked
top-10 in five other career and single-
season categories, and claimed All-
American honors.
Chris represented USA volleyball in
34 international matches and was select-
ed as team captain in 2003. In 2005 and
2006, he was part of the training squad
that went on to win a gold medal at the
2008 Olympics in Beijing, China.
He also played professionally for six
seasons from 2003 to 2009 for teams
in Holland, Portugal, Spain, Turkey,
Cyprus and Finland.

ceremony at the first annual Sports
Night at the Merovick Gymnasium,

Flower Empower
A sell-out crowd of 235 guests
couldnt fail but have a blooming good
time when the Dream Foundation
hosted its third annual Flower
Empower lunch at the El Encanto,
raising around $50,000 for the cause.
The volunteer-driven program
delivers 150 bouquets weekly, along
with cookies, chocolates and cards
made by local elementary school chil-
dren, to patients in hospitals, hospic-
es, cancer centers and private homes.
Its a small gesture, but it touch-
es so many hearts, says foundation
founder, Thomas Rollerson. Its a
lot of love, care and nurturing. The
results are instantaneous!

Ballet Bash
Bob and Marlene Veloz opened the
doors of their magnificent Montecito
manse, the former home of interna-
tional blogger Arianna Huffington
and her Texan oil tycoon husband,
Michael, to host a reception for the
State Street Ballet and its forthcoming
production of American Tango in Santa
Monica in September.
The dynamic duo are direct fam-
ily relatives of the famous dancing
couple, Frank and Yolanda Veloz, fea-
tured in the William Soleau choreo-
graphed show, which is written by the
tangoing twosomes son Guy Veloz.
In the 30s and 40s, Frank and
Yolanda were even more famous
than Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers,
appearing on the cover of Life maga-
zine in 1939 and holding the atten-
dance record at the Hollywood Bowl
until the Beatles broke it in 1964.
The show debuted at the Lobero in
October last year, coupling the creative
choreography with David Bazemores
multi-media show featuring memory
evoking monochromatic photos of the
period, with one memorable sequence
with the dancers on stage precise-
ly mirroring archival film footage of
the originals going through the same
dance routine.

ScAPe exhibit
Honors Jonathan Winters
A
rt Along The Creek is an
exhibit presented by SCAPE
(Southern California Painters
for the Environment). Artists involve
will donate 40% of each sale to Phoenix
of Santa Barbara, a non-profit mental
health agency and its creek habitat
restoration program.
Award winning artist and a founder
of SCAPE Larry Iwerks along with
J.T. Turner, the Executive Director of
Phoenix Santa Barbara and an abstract
painter, invited me to spend some
time with them at the Phoenix prop-
erty, the location for the SCAPE show.
It is a park area on the corner of
Mission Canyon Road and Mountain
Drive along Mission Creek. We sat in
folding chairs surrounded by native
California plants they have been tend-
ing like Lemonadeberry (Rhus inte-
grifolia), Snowberry (Symphoricarpos),
bright red Hummingbird Sage (Salvia
spathacea) and wildly yellow Canyon
Sunflowers (Venegasia carpesioides)
nestled among paintings on easels,
Larrys acoustic guitar, paintbrushes
and current works in progress. Larry
won the 2012 Mayors Art Award and
has works at the Smithsonian Institute
Washington, D.C. The grandson of
Mickey Mouse creator Ub Iwerks,
Larry is also a musician. J.T. holds
a Master of Philosophy and Social
Anthropology from the University of
Cambridge, and an M.A. in Clinical
Psychology from Fielding Graduate
University. He is an abstract artist
who produced the documentary film,
Crazy Art, in 2010. Aligning with
SCAPEs mission, they have set aside
a section of the exhibit as a memo-
rial for Jonathan Winters, featuring
his artworks and story. Winters had
shown his works at SCAPE in 2011,
where he spoke openly in an inter-
view with his daughter Lucinda,
about his personal issues and how
art provided a heaven for his peace of
mind. J.T. said, When she asked her
dad whether he found art therapeutic
and what advice he would give fel-
low artists, Jonathan said, Yes! Its
a form of expression, whether good
or bad. It gives some indication as to
what youre all about your highs,
your lows how you view the world.
There is a great freedom in painting
what you want to paint, making your-
self understood. Do it for yourself. It
makes you feel better. Its a freedom
that one enjoys unlike anywhere else!
It can be a great hobby and a great
place to unwind and lose yourself.

Q. What inspired the founding of
SCAPE eleven years ago?
Larry: Many times one is out paint-
ing and youll see little red flags go
up and youre one of the first ones to
realize it. In America, painters have
historically spoken up and sounded
the alert for nature. In California,
as a result of the Ice Ages, there are
remnants of flora from different parts
of the world, and we are blessed
with many non-indigenous species
A founder of
SCAPE and an
award-win-
ning artist,
Larry Iwerks
gets ready for
the SCAPE art
show taking
place May
25-27
J.T. Turner, SCAPE artist and Executive Director of
Phoenix SB, shows the native plantings at Mission
Creek
we need to preserve. I want everyone
involved in protecting nature! The joy
of this group is its all-inclusive, let's
go outside, paint, and talk on subjects
of geology and the history of our land
here.
The upcoming show is to benefit
Phoenix?
J.T.: Yes, the origin of the show, Art
Along the Creek, started when we
bought this property in 2003. The idea
was to find a place that was a very
healing environment for people with
serious psychiatric problems. We were
lucky to get the place. In 2006, as a
painter, I became a member of SCAPE
and thought to use this location for
an art show. Two years ago we had
Jonathan Winters exhibiting his art in
the show, so we are dedicating a sec-
tion of this years exhibit to him, itll
be great to honor him. He felt it was
important to have art up so people
would see it.
What is the one thing you would love
people to walk away with when they come
to the show?
J.T.: This shows theme is restoring
the land and restoring lives, and thus
its a celebration of community, the
arts community, the mental health
community, the people interested in
the landscape and ecology, and with
the I Madonnari art show going on
around the corner, it's a wonderful
experience to have all these groups
come together.
Larry: Youre not going to want to
miss this event... Three days of music
and art in a beautiful natural setting.
(SCAPE: Art Along The Creek takes
place Saturday, May 25, 2 to 6 pm,
Sunday, May 26 and Monday, May 27
from 11 am to 6 pm. Reception and
Awards: Sunday, May 26 from 2 4 pm.

looking At Drawing
Red Light Stop Gallery Curator
Kai Teppers new exhibit, Looking at
Drawing, is an exploration into the
various uses and approaches to draw-
ing as a fine art medium, a view
not widely shared by local galler-
ies based on sales. However, Kais
commitment to show local art with-
out constraint is working well in this
eclectic exhibit. Exhibiting artists are
Catherine Gee, Mark Lozano and
Philip Koplin. Their drawings travel
from fine detailed lines in Gees por-
traits to Lozanos ethereal ghost-like
faint pencils opposite Koplins darker
cont crayon on Yupo paper.
Due to last minute landlord issues at
the gallerys 218 Helena Avenue loca-
tion, Kai decided to hold the exhibit in
an un-labeled pop-up gallery, located a
few cage wire fences down in an old
two-story warehouse, now converted
to a photography studio owned by con-
ceptual fine art photographer Lindsey
Ross, who specializes in wet plate col-
lodion tintypes. At the opening on May
10, Lindsey made part of her parking
lot into a lounge for guests with an
overstuffed couch, mismatched wood
chairs, driftwood, a fire pit, homemade
hors doeuvres and a few guys playing
acoustic guitar, making it all the more
a throw back experience to the origins
of the Funk Zone itself.
Q. How did you decide on drawing as
the medium for the show?
Kai: Drawing is often under appre-
ciated as a fine art medium, and the
shows focus is to emphasize the versa-
tility and importance of drawing and
the different ways in which the draw-
ing medium is interpreted. The artists
mediums exhibited here include pen-
cil, graphite, charcoal, cont crayon,
and ink on various materials such as
paper, printed paper, mixed media
and wood panel. Many of Philips
works are done on a material called
Yupo, which is a synthetic, water-
proof, recyclable paper.
Tell us about your selection of artists.
Kai: I wanted to invite an artist who
was known for excellent portraiture;
Catherine came to mind immediately.
I was familiar with her work and felt
it would complement the show, and I
wanted to highlight that she is just as
talented an artist as she is an innova-
tive Executive Director at The SB Arts
Fund. Mark's delicate drawings also
seemed perfect for the show as they
require a certain level of attention to
focus in on all of his detail. Philips
unique sense of style and intriguing
use of elusive shapes really connected
the show together as his work is less
representational than the other artists.
How did the gallery Red Light Stop
come about?
Kai: The name, Red Light Stop fits
the realm of the direction I am tak-
ing the gallery. Given our original
location at 218 Helena Avenue, the
name pays homage to a historic red
light stop located at the 101 freeway
at Montecito Street. The story is that
the light remained red for far too long,
frustrating drivers. Of course, there is
a certain forbidden nature given to the
name Red Light Stop, as it is sugges-
tive of other associations containing
the phrase Red Light. Art is often
controversial, but my belief is that it
should never be forbidden. My goal
is that our audience will be forced to
stop and make their own conclusions
about the artwork and concepts,
albeit positive or negative. The most
important thing is that they took the
time to stop and think.
Catherine, Mark and Philip, your
thoughts on drawing as a fine art?
Catherine: I prefer drawing over
painting as it is a much more visceral
experience for me personally. Painting
is a means of masking for me, and I do
prefer raw understudies to saturated
palettes of painting, oftentimes. I feel
that the line quality and initial marks
within drawings unveil a surprising-
ly humanistic element that painting
can sometimes hide. Again, it is this
facade that is elevated and esteemed,
but I choose to draw and expose these
tiny marks that are so inherent in all
of us.
Mark: This new work is more about
using a pencil again than anything
else... Ive missed it.
Philip: Im not worried about hav-
ing a commercially viable career,
although Im quite sympathetic to
artists whose livelihood is bound to
market factors. I draw because it
gives me pleasure to lose myself in
making marks on surfaces and then
step back and look at the results. I
use one or a combination of marking
tools, from cont crayons to sharp-
ened dental tools. Sometimes the
surface is a blank sheet or paper or
piece of canvas, at other times an old
map, hotel bill, printed text, or other
found material. Sometimes I layer
the surface using paint, collage, and
other media. I work with whatever
I've piled in front of me, and the
results are correspondingly eclectic.
I often rework even simple-seeming
pieces for years. Other pieces are
finished in minutes. Most things end
up in the trashcan, the only truly
indispensable tool in the studio.

R
ubicon Theatre Companys
latest original production is
called Lonesome Traveler, the
title meant to evoke the rural roads
and byways that form the roots of
American folk music, the backbone of
the musical that traces the music from
the hills of Appalachia to Greenwich
Village and San Francisco nightclubs
over a period spanning more than
four decades.
But the show has been anything but
lonely for RTC.
After a very successful premiere at
the companys Ventura home a little
more than two years ago, the show
played well out of town twice, and
just finished up a full-length reprise
run back in Ventura last weekend.
Now, Lonesome Traveler is journeying
up to Santa Barbara for a two-night
stay in its concert format at the Lobero
Theatre, marking RTCs third visit to
our town after Whos Afraid of Virginia
Woolf at UCSB, and Hello! My Baby, the
Tin Pan Alley musical by Montecito
resident Cheri Steinkellner, at the
Lobero last fall.
Written and directed by Rubicons
artistic director James ONeil,
Lonesome Traveler revisits folk immor-
tals Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Joan
Baez, Bob Dylan, The Carter Family,
Leadbelly, The Weavers, Peter Paul &
Mary and many others all portrayed
by a quintet of actor/musicians who
both sing and play instruments live on
stage, covering such memorable clas-
sics as Will the Circle Be Unbroken,
This Land is Your Land, Goodnight
Irene, Turn, Turn, Turn, The
Wabash Cannonball, Puff, the
Magic Dragon, Mr. Tambourine
Man, We Shall Overcome, and
many more.
ONeil talked about Lonesome
Traveler over the phone late last week.
Q. What was the original idea for creat-
ing this show? Why was this something
that matters?
A. It was my dads influence, really.
He was much older than my mom,
born in 1910. In 1930 when depres-
sion hit, he was living in that four-
state area of the Dust Bowl. Like so
many others, thats when he came
to California. So this was his music
Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, these
old songs in the thirties and forties.
And when the big folk revival hit in
1957 he was in hog heaven. It was his
music and now it was being revived!
I was six or seven at the time and
he was buying the records and play-
ing them all the time. So not only was
it my main exposure to music, but
also my introduction to art, with the
idea that songs can tell stories. When
youre young, those things make huge
impressions. I loved the idea of the
music and what it stood for. And of
course I loved my dad. So Ive lived
with it and was thinking about it for
my whole life.
By 2007, I realized I needed to do
something about this, to put it in a
theatrical context. No one had done
that. Thats what motivated me to
write it, as a tribute to my dad but
also because its important to hear this
music, and not just historical aspect,
but for itself. Its still great music and
influenced so many things that came
after.
That was my next question. In just
the two years since it premiered, bands
like Mumford & Sons and the Lumineers
have become very popular. Its like theres
almost a new folk revival. Is that why its
being revived already?
Well, the show was very popular.
We heard people say, My friend
would have loved this, I wish they
could have seen it. So we knew
theyd come back again and bring oth-
ers. Its like a record. You dont listen
to them just once.
But yes, there is a new folk revival.
Gosh, look at last Grammy Awards
a third of it was folk. When I started
in 2007, I was just hoping thered be
a nostalgia audience for this and that
maybe I could reach younger people
if the marketing was right. So weve
been lucky. Theres a whole new audi-
ence. Its exciting for young people
to see it. And getting them in is a bit
easer because of the new revival. You
really do want to see this show to
understand where these newer acts
got their influence. Even some of the
cast in the show, the singer-songwrit-
ers, didnt even know where their
own music came from.
Forty years is a long time and a lot of
music. How did you pick the songs to put
in the show?

Reviving Folk music
On Entertainment
by Steven Libowitz
Steven Libowitz has
reported on the arts and
entertainment for more
than 30 years; he has
contributed to Montecito
Journal for over ten
years.
That was the biggest decision I had
to make early on. I did all this research
about the people and the times and I
compiled a list. But it was two hun-
dred songs to start. Once I decided
to do the linear history and celebrate
certain practitioners, it became clearer
what to choose. And we did manage
to get forty to forty-five songs in the
original version, including medleys.
But it also came down to personal
taste, what I like best.
Youre doing a concert version at the
Lobero. How is that different from the
production in Ventura?
The full production is more in depth
about the historical context, backward
and forwards in time, telling the his-
tory of where the music came from,
what happened, how it became popu-
lar and what the people stood for. In
concert, its much of the same music.
We still introduce it with some con-
text, but because its done concert
style, the stories and theme are carried
by the patter rather than a narrator.
Its not tied together as linearly. But
its great. Everyone is on stage at the
same time, alternating songs in pure
concert style. Its like seeing a band
with five different lead singers.
The Lonesome Travelers con-
cert takes place 7:30pm Monday and
Tuesday, May 27 and 28, at the Lobero.
Tickets cost $32.50-$82.50. Call 963-

The Hero Twins
Premieres
If Lonesome Traveler takes a look
at recent American musical history,
BOXTALES new production goes
back to a much earlier time and a lot
farther away. The theater company
whose mission is to bring myths and
folktales from around the world to
young audiences using masks, move-
ment, music and storytelling has
taken on Quiche Mayan book Popol
Vuh to create The Hero Twins A
Mayan Story.
Loosely translated as The Book of
the People, Popol Vuh a creation
myth that deals with a heros journey
of the twins who travel to the under-
world to avenge their father and clear
a path for human beings to arrive on
earth dates back as an oral tale more
than 2,000 years.
BOXTALES has been presenting a
40-minute version of the piece in the
schools for the last 18 months. The
full work gets its world premiere this
weekend at Center Stage.
We got excited about this story
when we stumbled on it because we
really love weird stories, but its also
the most important piece of Latin
American literature, but also not really
very well known in North America,
said BOXTALES co-founder Michael
Andrews, who is one of the writ-
ers and cast members in the show
developed by the troupe of armchair
mythologists. Its really relevant for
todays audiences, the kind of thing
that isnt being taught anymore in
schools. Its about character and vir-
tues, a precautionary tale, things that
we need to hear. We need to look at
the dark side, get into the shadow
stuff or youre doomed to keep mak-
ing the same mistakes. You have to
dig down into the underworld of your
own demons to bring light into the
darkness.
While the story takes place more
than two millennia ago, Andrews
explained that the myth is just as
timely today.
In a metaphoric way, were not
better off right now in terms of the
forces of good and evil and how they
manifest. So we need heroes. We need
brothers who are intrepid and will
go down into the metaphoric under-
world and deal with those forces that
are pulling us down and making it
hard for us. Maybe thats corporate
greed, or people with no morals, those
who mow down innocent children in
our schools. They had volcanoes and
ashes, we have our own challenges.
Adapting the massive tale to a one-
hour stage show might seem daunt-
ing, but to Andrews, its part of
BOXTALES oeuvre.
We dont do standard plays we
make them out of mythology, he
said. Its like our sandbox. We go in
there and play around, always with an
eye to being in integrity with the story.
But when youre making three dimen-
sions out of two turning a language
on a page into a work on the stage
you have to use your own imagina-
tion to decide what creatures look like
and how they move.
To relay the journey of the Hero
Twins, BOXTALES employs its usual
grab bag of masks, live music, move-
ments (including AcroYoga and circus
arts), storytelling, colorful costumes
and even shadow puppets, new for
this production. But dont make the
mistake that its all childs play. The
Hero Twins is for everybody, Andrews
said.
We base all our work in belief
in the innate intelligence in children.
While most programs designed for
kids talk down to them, and act as if
they dont know whats going on, we
believe that they know a great deal.
They can process a complex metaphor
faster than adults. And theyre not old

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
go to my website you can view this ..just click medicine
and science.
Tis healing energy will reduce infammation, heal

hematomas and reduce scar tissue. Please allow me to
assist you along the road to recovery

Side of the Story
Jeff Mills, who for years was an
integral part of BOXTALES he co-cre-
ated 10 original works over a decade,
including directing OM: An Indian Tale
of Good and Evil (The Ramayana) and
portraying Odysseus in The Odyssey
isnt involved in The Hero Twins, as he
has been rather busy with some of his
own projects recently.
Hes written and performed in a
couple of original works that have
played at Center Stage, including
most recently, Piezoelectric Love: The
(Half) Life of Marie Curie. Hes the co-
founder and producer of Live from
the Piano Kitchen, a monthly series
of eclectic evenings filled with music,
short original one-act radio plays,
comedy and more thats recorded
live at Jim Connellys intimate space
on the lower Eastside and broadcast
on KCSB. And hes also a lecturer-
instructor in UCSBs Department of
Theater and Dance, for which hes
currently directing Eurydice, by cel-
ebrated playwright Sarah Ruhl.
The work reimagines the classic
myth of Orpheus through the eyes of
its heroine. Which means that even
as his former brethren in BOXTALES
delve into the depths of the under-
world in The Hero Twins, Mills is mak-
ing his own pilgrimage to Hades on
the other side of town.
Mills gave us three reasons you
dont want to miss this show:
1) Its a beautiful and moving explo-
ration of the myth from a new per-
spective. Normally the story is told
from Orpheus point of view. Hes the
big hero and we follow him all the
way. But what about Eurydices expe-
rience? This is a great opportunity to
explore that angle Its been called a
feminist take on the story, because she
decided to stay with her father in the
underworld rather than return with
Orpheus, and its about her choice.
But its also an autobiographical play
in a way, because Sarah Ruhl wrote it
after her own father died.
2) Its visually stunning. Theres
lots of theatrical movements and
physical work, as I come from the
BOXTALES method. But its more of
an adult-oriented play. We do have
those fabulous elements that will
put you in a childs mind. You can
deal with the big issues of death and
mourning from an almost fable per-
spective. You get to watch it through
the eyes of a child.
3) You get to hear the Young Artist
String Quartet play live on stage.
Theyre part of the graduate fellow-
ship program supervised by [famed
UCSB violist] Helen Callus. Its a
young quartet thats trying to do
things a bit more daring, put them-
selves in uncomfortable artistic situ-
ations outside of normal concert set-
tings. And they play really, really well.
Theyre on stage throughout the show,
and the music is arranged by Jim
Connolly; its quite beautiful.
Eurydice plays 8pm May 24-25 &
30-31 and 2 & 8pm June 1 at UCSBs
Hatlen Theater. Tickets cost $17 general,
$13 students/seniors. Call 893-7221 or

Bowers @ Backstage Unlike some
musicians of his generation, Bryan
Bowers didnt grow up hearing
the autoharp in music class in grade
school. In fact, Bowers didnt pick one
up to play until he was 25. But now,
47 years later, hes considered one of
the greatest masters of the instrument,
adept in folk, bluegrass and even rock
n roll (the Grateful Dead was known to
employ his services from time to time).
Bowers is familiar to local audiences,
both through his previous appearances
at Trinity Backstage and a couple other
clubs and through his one-year stint as
the emcee at the weekend long Live
Oak Music Festival. And while Bowers
doesnt do anything as outlandish as
cross-dressing (a favorite of Joe Craven,
who replaced him at Live Oak and is still
the annual emcee more than a decade
later), his stage shows traverse quite a
bounty of material and interesting stories,

the coffeehouse series. WHEN: 8pm

Frankie 99 The late swing dance pioneer
Frankie Manning who is credited with
creating or at least popularizing the Lindy
Hop in the year following Charles Lindberghs
crossing of the Atlantic would have been 99
years old on Sunday. Manning was a leading
dancer at Harlems legendary Savoy Ballroom
where, in the mid-1930s, he revolutionized the
course of the Lindy Hop with his innovations that
survive to this day. For more than a dozen years
starting when he turned 81, Santa Barbara
became a popular destination for Manning
around his birthday each year, and while hes
no longer with us, the local Lindy community
still celebrates. The UCSB-based Lindy Circle
which hosts free dance lessons and practice
sessions on Monday nights during the school
year pays tribute to the memory of Manning
with a free dance tonight with live music
from the popular band Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five featuring Hilary
Alexander. The event also includes a free Lindy fundamentals dance lesson,
free food and refreshments, and even a photo booth, so grab those poodle skirts
and zoot suits! WHEN: lesson 7:30pm, dance 9pm-12midnight WHERE: Student

Funk Zone fve Art happenings in
the Soho-in-the-1970s-like neighborhood
near the beach next to Stearns Wharf
known as the Funk Zone are growing
so exponentially that its hard to fnd
a weekend alone. Accordingly, fve
nearby galleries are joining forces for
another group opening at their respective
locations, spearheaded by the Arts
Fund Gallery and MichaelKate Interiors.
The former hosts the annual Teen Arts
Mentorship Group Exhibition featuring
more than 50 paintings, photographs,
and bronze sculptures, highlighting the
diverse talents of 30 high school students
who participated in four mentorship
classes this spring taught by local artists
Nevin Littlehale, Michael Irwin,
Elizabeth Schwyzer and Phillip
Van Nostrand. For 20 years, the
arts enrichment program has offered
promising teenage artists the opportunity
to work closely with local professionals
in a studio environment, in small groups
of no more than 10. The students receive
specialized training, produce portfolio-
quality work, gain insight into future
careers in creative felds, and participate
in the current exhibition. Media include
everything from painting, bronze casting
and photography to creative writing.
Meanwhile, over at MichaelKate, the
furniture store that also serves as an art
gallery with lots of wall space, Montecito
painter Thomas Van Stein is one of
two Santa Barbara-based artists who
are paired with two other West Coast
artists for a new exhibition, Bright
Lines and The Void. Van Stein, most of
whose paintings are created on location
at night and feature urban landscapes
in dark colors, is joined by local artist
John Carlander, Los Angeles Hilary
Baker and Seattles Norman Lundin
for the show featuring work that explores
contrasts in approach, process and
composition. All four artists will be on

Festival, which features
professional artists from
Santa Barbara and
far beyond (as well
as local kids) creating
incredibly complex if
not indelibly durable
chalk drawings on the
asphalt in front of the
Santa Barbara Mission. Rather, its Art Along the Creek, the annual outdoor art show
and sale from SCAPE (Southern California Artists Painting for the Environment). The
organization includes more than 200 members, and is a diverse group comprised of
nationally known and local artists, students, patrons and even gallery owners. The
show, which takes place along Mission Creek at Phoenix Santa Barbaras private
property just a couple of blocks from the festival, has as its 2013 theme Restoring
Land, Restoring Lives, in keeping with SCAPEs stated goal of using art to help raise
money to protect open spaces, to increase public awareness of environmental and
conservation issues, to promote camaraderie and provide education for artists. To
wit, 40% of all art sales go to the benefciary, Phoenix of Santa Barbara, for the
Creek Restoration Project at the Mountain House. This is a juried show; Colin Fraser
Gray will award prizes for best depiction of theme along with awards in the various
media submitted oils, acrylics, watercolor, and more. And just like at I Madonnari,
theres plenty of music, too; Glendessary Jam, Honeysuckle Possums, Doug Clegg,

Young Dubs in old Ojai The veteran Celtic
rock band Young Dubliners return to the area as
the Ojai Concert Series moves for the summer to
Dancing Oaks, located in a wooded canyon not
far from Hwy 150 a few miles from Lake Casitas.
The Dubs, as theyre affectionately known, bridge
the world between Irish music and rock n roll,
exhibiting infuence of their acoustic music heritage
but also getting down and dirty with electric
sounds. Accordingly, theyve headlined at Irish
festivals, but also shown up opening for acts as
disparate as The Flaming Lips, Collective Soul
and Jonny Lang. Opening is the Santa Barbara
indie band The Indian Trading Furs, who one local
scribe praised as sounding like Mumford & Sons
thrown into a circle pit (with) breakneck guitar parts, whip-like drum flls, fearless
banjo and soaring vocals. Sounds like a pretty heavy show to kick off the summer
series, which takes place at a familys yard, and also features an optional potluck
with picnicking on the bucolic hillside setting on the grass under the oaks. Bring a
low-back deck chair and/or a blanket, plus a jacket as the weather gets cold in the

Riveting Resurrection
Santa Barbara Symphony wrapped
up its 60th anniversary season
in grand style when maestro Nir
Kabaretti directed Gustav Mahlers
colossal Resurrection sympho-
ny, featuring the voices of the Santa
Barbara Choral Society, the Quire of
Voyces and SB Master Chorale.
The Granadas stage, specially
extended for the occasion, was posi-
tively heaving with more than 100
singers and almost an equal number
of musicians during the 82-minute
work, which also featured soloists
Jennifer Black, soprano, and Tamara
Mumford, mezzo-soprano.
Nir, who fortunately got his lost
luggage back from Dutch airline KLM
just days before the performance it
got lost en-route from Amsterdam to
LAX was in superb form, conduct-
ing the full work without a score.
It was definitely a spectacular fare-
well night to remember!
Sweet 1700s
Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra,
a feature of our Eden by the Beach
for 35 years, also ended its current
season with a Sweet 1700s show at
the Lobero.
The performance featured Rossinis
LItaliana in Algeri and Schuberts
Symphony No.5 in B-flat Major, end-
ing with Mozarts Piano Concerto
No. 24 in C minor, featuring talented
Italian keyboardist Alessio Bax.
Bax, who has appeared as a solo-
ist with more than 90 orchestras,
including the London and Royal
Philharmonic, was in fine form and
totally in harmony with longtime con-
ductor Heiichiro Ohyama.
The pianist, who now seems to be
a permanent feature on the chamber
orchestras annual program, is also
scheduled to return next year...
Party at El Paseo
Santa Barbaras Trust for Historic
Preservation celebrated 50 years of
achievement at Un Paseo en Ora at
the historic social center of our tony
town El Paseo.
More than 175 guests turned out to
support the organization, which has
helped to preserve, restore and explore
Santa Barbaras cultural and architec-
tural history, after being founded in
1963 by the redoubtable Pearl Chase
and other community leaders.
Its great to have achieved this
landmark, says executive direc-
tor Jarrell Jackman. There are still
quite a few people involved whove
been around since near the begin-
ning, including Jeremy Hass, George
Decker and trustee Mary Louise
Days. Thats quite something.
The celebration, co-chaired by
Missy Chandler DeYoung and Wayne
Donaldson, began with behind-the-
scenes tours and historical vignettes
in the Street of Spain where Upper
Village book store Tecolote used to
have a branch , Casa de la Guerra,
the El Paseo Courtyard and Borein
Studio, followed by dinner and a
speech by Donaldson, chairman of the
U.S. Advisory Council on Historical
Preservation.
Entertainment was provided by
world-renowned flamenco dancer
Timo Nunez and classical guitarist
Sam Adams.
Others attending the historic hoop-
la included Keith Mautino, Terease
Chin, Larry Crandell, Frank Goss,
Bob and Nancy Knight, Mimi
Michaelis, Pat Hinds, Arthur Najera,
Lois Erburu, Deborah Schwartz,
Robin Schutte, Kellam de Forest,
Dale Francisco, Frank Hotchkiss and

Streetcar Named Desire
UCSBs Department of Theater and
Dance certainly had a winner with
Acting Up Fronts thoroughly enter-
taining version of Tennessee Williams
classic, A Streetcar Named Desire.
Directed by college professor Irwin
Appel, the production was simply
staged in the round rather than the
usual elaborate sets, with a foldout
bed, a table and a few chairs as the
main props, and cast members sitting
with the audience.
Nicole Abramson as the perpetu-
ally soused Blanche played the hell
out of the emotionally wrenching role,
while her sister, Stella, acted by Grace
Morrison, added the balance with her
gentle support and perseverance.
Joe Samaniego, as husband Stan,
displayed his testosterone fueled anger
to great effect, while Joe Caldwell as
sensitive Mitch, who falls for and
eventually turns against Blanche,
played the emotional see-saw well.

Sweet Dreams
Insomnia sufferers would have had
a ball at Rooms & Gardens, the State
Street design emporium, when former
luxury hotelier Armella Stepan gath-
ered three relaxation experts to launch
Intentions, a bedding line which is
claimed to help sleep.
My idea came about ten years ago
when I came down with an ailment
and spent two months in a hospital
facility, says Stepan, former general
manager of Shutters on the Beach in
Santa Monica, where I would bunk
regularly when I was taping an enter-
tainment show at MGM Studios near-
by. The experience was abominable!
Relaxation inducing words, which
have evolved after innumerable inter-
views with doctors and practitioners,
are used as woven whispers in the
fabric, such a relax, breathe, sleep,
soothe, quiet. They are intended to trig-
ger responses and make sleep easier.
The linens, made in Portugal, are
available on line at Neiman Marcus
and Horchow, and now at R & G,
owned by Eric and Jami Voulgaris.
Local entrepreneur, Sara Jaqua, who
launched the Gibraltar line of flower
essences, L.A. sleep therapist John
Sahakian and Emma Narachi, owner
of the Alchemy Arts Center, were also
there to help at the sleepy soire...
Cheers to Catherine
Camerata Pacifica, the popular
chamber music group, bade fare-
well to longtime violinist Catherine
Leonard as it wrapped up its 23rd
season at the Music Academy of the
Wests Hahn Hall.
Catherine, who studied here on a
Fulbright Scholarship, is returning to
her native Ireland and has a number of
engagements already lined up in Europe,
including Londons Wigmore Hall.
The weekend concert included
works by Bax, Wilson and Dvorak,
featuring all of the troupes princi-
pal players including oboist Nicholas
Daniel, violinist Ara Gregorian, cel-
list Ani Aznavoorian, violist Richard
Yongjae ONeill, pianist Warren
Jones and flutist Adrian Spence.
Mezzo soprano Kate Allen, another
Irish import, performed in the U.S.
premiere of Wilsons Dreamgarden
and Dvoraks Gypsy Songs.
The concert, which opened with
the String Orchestra of the Ramon
C. Cortines School of Visual and
Performing Arts in L.A. playing
Vivaldis Concerto for Flute and
Strings in D Major, concluded with the
Czech composers Quintet for Piano
and Strings No.2 in A Major...
