oas, bangles and beads were
de rigueur at the Amethyst
Balls Great Gatsby Gala at
the Coral Casino. I expected to see
Robert Redford in his iconic role
walk across the crowded room at any
moment. The party was given by the
Benefit Committee for the Council on
Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (CADA)
honoring Penny Jenkins for her 28
years as president and CEO and her
upcoming retirement.
After a VIP reception for underwrit-
ers and patrons, the tented terrace
was jammed with 270 people put-
tin on the glitz in Gatsby attire and
checking out the large silent auction.
The ballroom was a stunning art deco
study with ropes of crystals drap-
ing the problematic pillars, sequined
tablecloths with three foot high cen-
terpieces of orchids in mirrored con-
tainers and even the chairs must be
mentioned. They were made of clear
Lucite so they looked liked glass. The
whole room was bathed in amethyst
light.
Emcee Debby Davison Phelps
introduced the honoree Penny who
remembered, The very first Amethyst
Ball was in the parking garage of
the Montecito Inn and was called
Charlies party in honor of the actor
Charlie Chaplin and his part in the
Inn. You are the reason we have been
successful.
Besides all those who helped through
the years, it was Penny leading them.
When she arrived in Santa Barbara
in 1985, CADA had eight employees
and an annual budget of $180,000
with no facilities and no endowment.
Now there are assets over $10 million
in facilities, a staff of nearly 100 and
an annual budget of over $5 million.
Quite a record! There has also been an
expansion of twelve new programs.
For 21 years Santa Barbara Fighting
Back has gained both state and nation-
al recognition because of its successful
collaborations and strategies, receiv-
ing the Outstanding Coalition Award
from among 5,000 coalitions in the
nation. None of the thousands of indi-
viduals and families who seek help
each year are ever turned away due to
all who support the facility.
In charge of making this eve-
ning a memorable one was chair-
man Sue Neuman and mens com-
CADAs executive
assistant Cecilia
Murray, board
chair Dee Dee
Barrett, CEO,
president and
honoree Penny
Jenkins, and

And why is it called the Amethyst
Ball? There is a legend that says
Bacchus, God of Wine, was offended
by some neglect by Diana, Goddess of
the Hunt and of the Moon and swore
that the first person his caravan met
should be devoured by his tigers.
This luckless mortal turned out to be
a beautiful virgin named Amethyst
who was on her way to worship at
the shrine of the Goddess Diana. As
ferocious beasts sprang upon her, she
sought the protection of the Goddess
through prayer and immediately was
turned into pure white stone to save
her from the tigers.
Recognizing the miracle and
repenting of his cruelty, Bacchus
poured the juice of the grapes as a
libation over the petrified body of
the maiden, thus giving the stone
its lovely purple-violet hue. Out of
respect for the transformed nymph,
legend has it, whoever wears an ame-
thyst is protected from the evils of
intoxicating drink. Carolyn Amory
was the founder of the Amethyst Ball
27 years ago and used this myth to
name the event.
Happy Birthday To You
The grand old dame turned 140
years old on February 22 but shes
getting a much-needed face-lift begin-
ning in June. That would be the Lobero
Theatre, Californias oldest continu-
ously operating theatre. The Lobero
Theatre Foundation threw a birthday
bash for 250 folks. If youd never
appeared on the Lobero stage, now
was your chance. It had been trans-
formed into a nightclub atmosphere
with a little bit of country. Board mem-
ber and bandleader Palmer Jackson,
Jr. was there with his western band,
the Mobile Homeboys. There were
libations, appetizers and much toe
tappin to the tunes.
Executive director David Asbell
welcomed and introduced board
member Jim Morouse who said,
Im to give you one hundred and
forty years of history in one min-
ute and forty-two seconds. In 1873
when Giuseppe Jose Lobero opened
his opera house there was no Statue
of Liberty, there were twelve areas
that had not become states and 7,000
people lived in Santa Barbara. Tickets
were only $1.50 unless you had deep
pockets and could afford a box for
$10.
After the opera house fell into disre-
pair, the Community Arts Association
bought the building in 1922. Architect
George Washington Smith and his
partner Lutah Maria Riggs were hired.
The redesigned theatre as we know it
today opened in 1924 to commemo-
rate the first fiesta.
Jim went on, From 1924 until
today the theatre is booked one hun-
dred and seventy nights a year. It is
intimate town hall meets Carnegie
Hall. The birthday bash was the last
push for the Encore: Lobero cam-
paign, which was launched in 2011
to raise $6.25 million. Coming attrac-
tions will be new seats to replace the
27-year-old ones with more legroom
and better sightlines, heating and
cooling upgrades (polite applause)
and double the size of the ladies
bathroom (cheers).

Damage to a Business on Lillie Avenue
Tuesday, 26 February, 9:28 am Deputy Scherbarth responded to a business on
Lillie Avenue in Summerland on report of damage done to the front steps of the
property. The manager of the store had arrived at work and noticed damage on
the front marble steps and pillars which appeared to have been made by skate-
boards. The damage was done during the night, as she did not notice it when
she left the shop the night before. An incident report was taken.
Smash n Grab on Hot Springs Road
Friday, 1 March, 10:30 am Deputy Froelicher was dispatched to Hot Springs
Road near East Valley Road. A couple had parked their truck near the church
to attend a fundraiser; they locked the truck but the woman left her purse on
the seat. A few minutes later, the alarm on the vehicle was activated when the
window was smashed by an unknown suspect. A church employee notified the
couple, who came out to find the damage to the truck and the womans purse
missing. The purse contained the womans wallet and credit cards, as well as a
pair of diamond earrings. A report was taken.
Man Rescued from Romero Canyon
Sunday, March 10, noon The
Santa Barbara County Sheriffs
Search and Rescue (SBCSAR)
team came to the assistance of an
injured mountain biker approxi-
mately 3.5 miles up the Romero
Canyon Trail in Montecito.
The man in his 50s was mid-
ride around noon when he fell
from his bike, traumatically
injuring his head and spine. The
subject suffered a brief loss of
consciousness, and a person on
the trail called 9-1-1 for help.
Twelve SBCSAR team members and six firefighters from the Montecito Fire
Department responded to the Romero Canyon Trailhead on Romero Canyon
Road. County Air Support Unit Copter 3 was deployed to assist locating the
subject. Rescuers drove up the Edison Fire Road and hiked into the mountain
bikers location on a single-track trail.
Paramedics from the Montecito Fire Department and Emergency Medical
Technicians from SBCSAR began medical care of the mountain biker as they
secured him onto a backboard and into a stretcher known as a Stokes basket.
Rescuers then carried him down the single-track trail to the rescue vehicles and
drove him to the trailhead on Romero Canyon Road. An ambulance from AMR
transported him to Cottage Hospital for further care.
SBCSAR is an all-volunteer unit of the Santa Barbara County Sheriffs Office.
The team consists of 38 members, including 25 Emergency Medical Technicians,
all of whom are on call 24/7. MJ

reps and attorneys for project appel-
lants were in front of the Board of
Supervisors on Tuesday, reporting
that an agreement had been made
between both sides.
This is a great example of a win-
win, said First District Supervisor
and chair, Salud Carbajal.
At issue was the appeal of a Verizon
Wireless antenna project set to go on
Santa Angela Lane; the project, which
is a replacement for the antenna which
was removed from the QAD prop-
erty in Summerland late last year,
was stalled when neighbors and El
Montecito Presbyterian parishioners
and preschool parents complained
about its proximity to residences and
the preschool.
Over the last six months, Verizon
Wireless looked at 18 other possible
sites in which to locate the antenna,
and instead of deciding to relocate
it, decided to redesign the project on
Santa Angela. The new design is an
antenna disguised as a 75-ft pine tree,
rather than mounting the antennas
behind a parapet wall.
This brings the RF emissions
down, as the antenna will be located
further away from ground level, said
Marc Chytilo, attorney for the appel-
lants. The tree will also lessen aes-
thetic impacts and fit in better with
the community, Carbajal said. We are
told the current antennas on the prop-
erty, located on the building behind a
parapet wall, will also be relocated to
the tree, lowering the radiation levels
on the ground.
The appellants are satisfied with the
outcome. The Board has directed staff
to make positive findings for the faux
tree design; the merits of the design
will be discussed at the Boards next
hearing on March 19.
Film Screening at
Lotusland
A screening of Vanishing of the Bees,
narrated by Ellen Page, is planned
for Thursday, March 21 at Lotusland.
A Q & A with co-directors Maryam
Henein and George Langworthy will
follow the screening.
This event is in conjunction with
Swarm: A Collaboration with Bees,
an exhibition of artistic interpretation
of bees and hive culture on view in
Lotuslands Pavilion. After the pro-
gram, refreshments will be served and
guests will have the opportunity to
see the entire exhibition.
Honeybees have been mysteriously
disappearing across the planet, includ-
ing here in Montecito (see MJ #19/6),
literally vanishing from their hives.
Known as Colony Collapse Disorder,
this phenomenon has brought bee-
keepers to crisis in an industry respon-
sible for producing many of our fruits
and vegetables. Commercial honeybee
operations pollinate crops that make
up one out of every three bites of food
on our tables, according to Lotusland
rep Deanna Hatch.
Vanishing of the Bees follows commer-
cial beekeepers David Hackenberg
and Dave Mendes as they strive to
keep their bees healthy and fulfill pol-
lination contracts across the U.S. The
film explores the struggles they face
as the two friends plead their case
on Capitol Hill and travel across the
Pacific Ocean in the quest to protect
their honeybees.
Filming across the United States
and in Europe, Australia and Asia, the
90-minute documentary film exam-
ines the alarming disappearance of
honeybees and the greater meaning it
holds about the relationship between
mankind and mother earth. As sci-
entists puzzle over the cause, organic
beekeepers indicate alternative rea-
sons for this tragic loss. Conflicting
opinions abound, and after years of
research, a definitive answer has not
been found to this mystery.
Admission is $40 for Lotusland
members and $50 for non-members.
Advance reservations are required
and may be made by calling 969-9990.
Directions to Lotusland will be pro-
vided upon receipt of reservations.

Arthur Hansl
(1931-2013)
In Passing
A
uthor and actor Art
Hansl was educated
in Europe, as well as
in the States at Taft School in
Connecticut and Washington
and Lee University in Virginia.
His mother was a successful
playwright in her early twen-
ties, his father an executive at
JP Morgan & Co. Born to priv-
ilege, his familys wealth had
dissipated over the years and,
after a single semester, he left
law school at USC and veered
away from the conventional life
planned for him.
Until his death by can-
cer, 3/6/2013 at age 82, he set
his own path, first joining the
Marine Corps during the Korean
War. Hostilities ended before he
was ready to ship out and he
completed his service in the mil-
itary police at Camp Pendleton,
California. After his brief experi-
ment with law school, he headed
to Mexico for a few weeks and ended up staying for four years. With a back-
ground in language, he picked up Spanish quickly and soon found his place
among expatriates and locals, playboys and playgirls, in what he liked to call
a sunny land for shady people.
Plans to open a nightclub with questionable partners went awry as did other
schemes and he left reluctantly to return to California. From there he traveled
to Spain and, with the last of his funds, went on to Rome. There he met and
eventually married model and actress, Mary Arden, who introduced him to an
agent who thought he had a future in motion pictures.
He appeared in films with Kirk Douglas and Ursula Andress, but soon he was
making mostly B action films, James Bond rip-offs popular in the 60s that took
him around Europe, behind the Iron Curtain and to North Africa. By the end of
the decade the dolce vita was largely over for expatriate American actors and
Hansl went back to Mexico to pursue his career there, playing heroes and heav-
ies, making westerns, horror films, whatever came along. In the 1970s a change
in the Mexican government and tax laws sent him back to California where he
finished his acting career with a stint on daytime TV series, General Hospital.

Fred Michael Benko
(6 July 1939 - 7 March 2013)
F
red Benko was born in
Barberton, Ohio, graduated from
Ellet High School in 1957, and,
in 1959, after one semester at Akron
University, enlisted in the U.S. Marine
Corps. As a Marine, one of his assign-
ments was as a hurricane forecaster in
Cherry Point, North Carolina, where
hed work 24-hour shifts in exchange
for 72 hours off. Being a folk music fan
(and a Kingston Trio fan in particu-
lar), during the downtime, he picked
up a guitar and a ukulele, and with
two other friends, formed a group
called The Beachers Three. The trio
serenaded in bars up and down the
Chesapeake Bay, playing for beer and
tips.
From there, he was shipped to
Iwakuni, Japan, where he spent most
of the rest of his time in the Marine
Corps. Upon release from active duty
in July of 63, he returned to Cherry
Point, singing folk music from Virginia
Beach to Jekyll Island; he also played
at the Top of the Walk in Washington,
Hiroko and Fred Benko were married on Santa Cruz
Island on September 8, 1985; after the ceremony,
Fred jumped into the water from the deck of the
original Condor, and swam inside the Painted Cave
in celebration. The two were not only enthusiastic
newlyweds and best of friends, but also became
trusted and respected business partners.

Educational Workshop
on Dementia
SENIORITY
by Patti Teel
Patti Teel is the com-
munity representative for
Senior Helpers, providers
of care and comfort at a
moments notice. She is
also host of the Senior
Helpers online video
show. www.santabar
baraseniors.com. E-mail:
patti@pattiteel.com.
T
he Friendship Center invites all
to attend the first in a series
of three educational workshops
on dementia. It will take place on
Thursday, March 21 from 6-7:30 pm
at All Saints-by-the-Sea Episcopal
Church, located at 83 Eucalyptus
Lane. The series is called a Caregiver
Educational Series, but it would be
beneficial for anyone because at some
point in our lives we will all be affect-
ed by dementia. While some of us
will be fortunate enough to dodge
the bullet, someone we care deeply
about may not be as fortunate.
The Present Reality
The first speaker will be Luciana
Cramer, Care Specialist at the Central
Coast Alzheimers Association. She
works tirelessly to develop educa-
tional and supportive programs for
affected families and the community.
Luciana will discuss what dementia
is and the various types that exist.
People are often not clear about the
difference between dementia and
Alzheimers. Dementia is a large cat-
egory, or umbrella, and 70-80 condi-
tions could be causing it the most
common of which is Alzheimers.
Other types of dementia include vas-
cular, Lewy Body, and frontal tempo-
ral. Presently, there is no cure.
The Hope
Dr. Robert Harbaugh, co-founder
of Neurology Associates of Santa
Barbara, has practiced locally since
1983. In 2001, he received a lifetime
achievement award from the Central
Coast Alzheimers Association. Dr.
Harbaugh will be discussing a $100
million drug trial led by the Banner
Alzheimers Institute, which will
be taking place in Columbias cen-
tral north-western Antioquia. Here,
more people suffer from early onset
Alzheimers than anywhere else in
the world. The population is made
up of an extended family of 5,000
people, approximately half of who
have inherited a genetic mutation
which guarantees they will develop
early onset Alzheimers disease. The
cause has been identified as an altered
protein on the presenilin 1 gene on
Chromosome 14. The genetic disorder
is being called the paisa variation.
The term paisa refers to locals from
Antioquia. Dr. Harbaugh referred to
this discovery as one of the top ten sci-
entific breakthroughs of our time and
a major development in Alzheimers
research. The plan is to see if giving
treatment before dementia starts can
lead to preventing Alzheimers alto-
gether. The single location, large size
and similar lifestyles of the inhab-
itants provide enough comparable
participants for solid scientific data
and give reason for renewed hope.
It also gives people at the highest
imminent risk of Alzheimers access
to treatment. Early onset Alzheimers
was once considered too different to
provide clues about the more common
late onset Alzheimers. But both forms
produce almost identical symptoms
and brain changes and scientists are
hopeful that if the disease can be
halted in Antioquia, it can lead to
treatments for the millions who suffer
from the more common late onset
Alzheimers. Dr Harbaugh also plans
to discuss a new program that will be
providing integrative care for those
with Alzheimers and other forms of
dementia.
Making the Best Of It
Susan Jorgenson will be the third
speaker. She has been the Program
Manager at the Friendship Center for
seven years, leads the Connections
Program for those with mild cog-
nitive impairment and and taught
enrichment classes through the Adult
Education Omega program for many
years. People with Alzheimers can
live for over a decade and for much
of that time they can function with
more capacities than most people real-
ize. There can still be many moments
of fun, happiness and love that can
be shared with friends, family, and
caregivers. Susan has had extensive
hands on experience working with
people with Alzheimers and will talk
about activities that can be done at
each stage of the disease.
Two additional workshops will com-
plete the Caregiver Educational Series.
The second workshop will focus on
health, nutrition and spirituality and
will take place on Wednesday, June 26
at the Friendship Centers Goleta loca-
tion. The third workshop will explore
financial planning and elder abuse
and will take place on September 26 at
the Friendship Center Montecito loca-
tion. All workshops are offered free of
charge. MJ

D.C., and introduced Joan Baez at
the Cellar Door in Georgetown. The
Washington, D.C. exposure led to an
invitation from the U.S. government
to perform at a food and agriculture
exhibition in Europe, where his show
was halted when President John F.
Kennedy was assassinated.
That brought him back to the United
States, where he hung up his gui-
tar to work as a salesman for Pfizer
Laboratories. After receiving a degree
from George Washington University,
he transferred to the West Coast as a
field manager and lived near Diamond
Bar. Pfizer offered him a raise and a
promotion if he would return to the
East Coast, but Fred had learned to
love California, so he quit his job and
began the career that would take him
through the rest of his life: as a sea
captain.
A classified ad in the Los Angeles
Times caught his eye: Seagoing busi-
ness for sale. He called and discov-
ered they were selling H&M Landing
in San Diego. He couldnt afford
that, but he ended up purchasing the
50-year lease on what was then the
John Dory Building, in Santa Barbara.
He sold the big house in Diamond
Bar and, with family in tow, rented
a two-bedroom apartment in Santa
Barbara from which to run his new
business. Before long he owned a
string of seven boats, one of which
was the original 88-foot Condor he
designed and built himself in 1979. He
also ran a lucrative tackle shop below
his office.
Fred steadily grew his sport fish-
ing and charter boat business, and
SEA Landing which Fred developed
and then sold in 1985 went on to
become one of the biggest landings
on the West Coast. Though on the
verge of retirement, in 2002 he started
construction on the Condor Express,
and, in February 2003, launched
the speedy, twin-hulled boat and
changed the face of whale watch-
ing on the Central Coast, bringing
people to whales in just 45 minutes
compared to the previously required
three hours.
Along the way, Fred who had a
naturalists instinct and a scientists
curiosity became an expert on the
Santa Barbara Channel and the health
of the nearby ocean. He was a self-
taught engineer, a first-rate captain,
and an inveterate tinkerer whose heart
and soul dwelled in the sea.
His friends and acquaintances
included award-winning cinema-
tographer Mike deGruy, Heal The
Ocean founder Hillary Hauser, deep-
sea adventurer and environmental
watchdog Jean-Michel Cousteau,
chimpanzee pioneer Jane Goodall,
oceanographer Sylvia Earle, Wildlife
Behavioral Biologist and Director
of POD (Protect Our Dolphins) of
Santa Barbara Toni Frohoff, Ph.D.,
and many, many others includ-
ing documentary filmmakers from
BBC, Discovery Channel, National
Geographic, Cascadia Research,
Scripps Institute, and others. All
sought Freds input regularly.
The house Fred shared with his wife
of 29 years, Hiroko, sits high above the
Santa Barbara Harbor; their master
bedroom features a view of the Sea
Landing, where the Condor Express
is berthed and where it all began for
him.
Fred was a generous supporter/
member of a number of organiza-
tions, including El Pescatores Club,
the Santa Barbara Zoo, Los Festers
Dance Club, Santa Barbara Maritime
Museum Advisory Council, Los
Rancheros Pobres, CASA (Court
Appointed Special Advocates),
Santa Barbara Museum of Natural
History, National Marine Sanctuary
Foundation, Pacific Fishery
Management Council, and the Santa
Barbara Civic Light Opera, for which
he often sang on stage. He was named
a National Environmental Hero, rec-
ognized as a Whale Hero by the
American Cetacean Society, honored
by the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care
Network, designated as a Local Hero
by the Santa Barbara Independent, and
received the Stewardship Award
from the Channel Island National
Marine Sanctuary.
He leaves behind his wife, Hiroko
Benko, his daughter Dody Livingston,
granddaughter Hunter, his son,
Mathew Benko, grandsons Tyler and
Brennan, mother, Dorothy Benko, sis-
ters Kathy Trares and Diane Morgan,
and nieces and nephews in Ohio.
A memorial to Fred Benko is planned
for Friday, March 15, from 3 to 5 pm at
the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests
donations to the Maritime Museum or
the Santa Barbara Visiting Nurse and
Hospice. You can also visit: fredbenko.

Say what you will about the threat

immediate threat of a football-sta-

Earth sometime in the near future.
Such a space rock could wipe out a
city like New York, London, Paris,
New Delhi, Shanghai, Santa Barbara,
or wherever. Even a house-sized aster-
oid that hits in the right place would

Crane School
Presents Checks
On Wednesday, March 6, some phil-
anthropic seventh graders presented
checks to six local non-profits after
raising money last month at Crane
Country Day Schools first annual
Care Fair.
We first told you about the Care Fair
earlier this year (Montecito Insider,
MJ #19/4). The idea for the fair was
born in the schools service learning
class, led by teacher Janey Cohen. The
event, held on February 1, featured six
non-profits who set up informational
tables in the schools quad. The entire
seventh grade helped set up carnival
games, a bake sale, and various activi-
ties to earn money to be donated to
those non-profits.
It was a fun event in which com-
munity members were able to help
and learn about local non-profits,
Cohen told us. The organizations
which participated included CALM,
B.U.N.S., Santa Barbara Foodbank,
Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation, All 4
Animals, and Eyes in the Sky.
During the one-hour event, $2,400
was raised, and was divided evenly
among the non-profits. Reps from
the organizations were on hand dur-
ing the assembly last week, and each
thanked the seventh graders for host-
ing the Care Fair.
In Business:
The Refillery
Inspired by seeing stretches of
Costa Rican beach littered with trash
after a storm, young business owners
Lacey Grevious and Chris Reeder
say they wanted to help consumers
do their part in helping the environ-
ment. Seeing all that garbage made it
obvious to us that todays disposable
lifestyle is clearly catching up to us,
Grevious said.
The couple, who have lived in the
area the last few years, ditched their
respective career paths to open The
Refillery, a new BYOB (Bring Your
Own Bottle) shop across from Trader
Joes on De La Vina Street in Santa
Barbara. The shop offers dozens of
hair and skin care products and clean-
ing products, displayed in large jugs
and sold by the ounce. Customers
are encouraged to bring in their own
refillable bottles, but the shop also
offers a slew of new bottles for every
bottling need.
In keeping with the green theme,
Grevious, who hand picks every prod-
uct, focuses on west coast distributors
and green companies, many of which
are based out of Portland, Oregon.
Most of the products, which include
shampoo, conditioner, facial cleansers,
skin creams, baby powder, baby sham-
poo, bath oils, and sunscreen as well
as dishwashing detergent, hand soap,
dish soap, dog shampoo, and beeswax
candles, are unscented and organic.
Customers are welcome to add in one
or more of 50 fragrances or essential
oils, to customize the products.
The Refillery sells the bulk products
by the ounce, less the weight of the
bottle; a scale in the center of the store
allows customers to get a feel for what
they are going to pay when they refill
their bottles. Our prices are competi-
tive, Grevious says. Obviously its
not going to be as cheap as dollar store
brands, but the idea is to offer great
products at cost effective prices, all
while doing something good for the
planet, she explained. The store also
offers other green gear, including
reusable lunch and shopping bags,
made from recycled materials, Klean
Kanteen bottles to prevent plastic
waste, and other products intended to
lessen impact on landfills.
A chalkboard behind the counter
of the spacious store, which used to
be home to DCM Design before a
fire damaged the building last year,
keeps a tally of the number of bottles
saved from thrown out. Our goal is
two thousand bottles this first year,
Grevious said.
The couple, who opened the shop
last month, celebrated with a Grand
Opening on Tuesday. The store is open
everyday from 10 am to 7 pm, and
Sundays 11 am to 5 pm. Five percent
of every purchase at The Refillery is
donated to a charitable organization
such as the World Wildlife Foundation
or Santa Barbara Channelkeepers.
The Refillery is located at 3016 De
La Vina. Call 364-2919 or visit www.

tion. MJ

Your Westmont
Students Spring into Service
by Scott Craig photos by Brad Elliott
M
ore than 300 Westmont stu-
dents and local volunteers
have traveled to Mexico
as part of Potters Clay, helping the
under-served in Ensenada this spring
break, March 8-15. Potters Clay, a
student-organized service trip that
started in 1977, is one of Westmonts
longest-running traditions. Students
will also serve with Spring Break in
the City, serving in San Francisco,
Santa Barbara and Los Angeles.
In Mexico, teams will build three
homes, three churches and repair
homes that Potters Clay crews built
20-30 years ago. They will also host
medical, dental and optical clinics at
various locations throughout the week,
operate vacation Bible school programs
and provide sports clinics. The surf
ministry and creative dance team have
been expanded in hopes of continuing
to connect with young adults who may
be attracted to gangs and crime.
A new team, the mobile salon,
will serve mistreated women. Avary
Mitchell, Potters Clay creative com-
munication manager, says theyve
expanded the haircutting ministry to
include manicures. We are attempt-
ing to reach out to abused and exploit-
ed women in Ensenada through the
addition of a manicure team, she
says. We have forged partnerships
with churches in Mexico wholl be
leading us in the right direction, she
says. Itll be an adventure to see how
this week actually plays out, and to
have a better idea for how this minis-
try can take off.
Jake Allbaugh, Potters Clay sports
director, was a team leader for the
inaugural surf team last year and
is looking forward to returning to
Mexico. One of my passions is surf-
ing and I love sharing this with oth-
ers, he says. My vision for the surf
ministry is to create a safe, encourag-
ing environment that allows anyone
with a desire to surf to get up on a
board. Surfing is a great way to con-
nect and build relationships with the
local people in Ensenada while enjoy-
ing Gods creation.
Other students will be staying in
California during spring break, part-
nering with local organizations that
minister directly to the under-served
populations there. The weeklong
experience in Los Angeles and San
Francisco is usually intense and trans-
formative for students who seek to
both understand urban issues and
assist long-term workers.
Locally, more than 170 students
have volunteered in Santa Barbara
during spring break in the past four
years, partnering with churches and
local missions organizations such as
the Turner Foundation and the Santa
Barbara Rescue Mission.
Stargazers
to View Jupiter, nebula
Westmonts powerful Keck
Telescope hopes to show off the planet
Jupiter during a free public view-
ing of the stars on Friday, March 15,
beginning at about 7:30 pm. The best
viewing generally occurs later in the
evening.
Jupiter will still be well-placed
this evening with Callisto, one of
Jupiters four Galilean moons, lying
very close to the ball of the planet
near the onset of tonights viewing,
says Thomas Whittemore, Westmont
physics instructor. Jupiter will lie
above a beautiful, four-day-old Moon
and be sandwiched between Taurus
wonderful Hyades and Pleiades open
clusters.
The viewing may also feature the
Great Orion Nebula. Last month we
had some fine, steady views of this
stellar nursery through Westmonts
24-inch reflector telescope,
Whittemore says. Lets hope the
viewing is good enough this evening
to see six of the Trapezium stars in the
center of the nebula.
Whittemore says the comet Pan-
STARRS, lying low in the western
sky just after the sun goes down, may
also be visible with the naked eye.
Itll be difficult to see on Friday and
it will not be a telescopic object for
Westmonts observatory-based tele-
scopes considering how low in the
sky it will be during early twilight,
Whittemore says. I will, however,
bring a pair of binoculars just in case
we get lucky.
The Keck Telescope is housed in
the observatory between Russell Carr
Field and the track and field/soccer
complex. Free parking is available
near the baseball field.
Talk Delves into Harry
Potter, Christianity
Carrie Birmingham, associate
professor of teacher education at
Pepperdine University, will explore
symbols, patterns and allegories in
the Harry Potter series that reflect
the essence of the Christian story on
Wednesday, March 20, at 3:30 pm in
Hieronymus Lounge at Westmonts
Kerrwood Hall. The talk, Harry Potter
and the Baptism of the Imagination,
is free and open to the public. For
more information, please contact
Heather Bergthold at (805) 565-6165
or hbergthold@westmont.edu.
Just under the surface of the narra-
tive, the heart of Christian faith vic-
torious resurrection through the sacri-
fice of love is experienced time and
time again, Birmingham says. For
millions of readers, the Harry Potter
series is a compelling introduction to
Christianity.
Birmingham, who earned her doc-
torate in educational psychology from
UC Santa Barbara, teaches literacy
theory and methods, and culture lan-
guage and learning. She earned a
Seaver College Fellow in Education
from 2003-2005. Her research has
been published in Journal of Teacher
Education, Theory into Practice,
American Educational Research
Journal and International Journal of
Teaching and Teacher Education.
Andrew Mullen, who chairs the
Westmont Education and Liberal
Studies Departments, says he appre-
ciates Birminghams deep faith and
independent, outside-the-box think-
ing. So often in academic circles,
everyone starts to say the same fash-
ionable things, he says. Carrie has
her own distinctive voice and isnt
afraid to use it.
Mullen discovered Birminghams
long-standing interest and expertise
on Harry Potter just about the time he
belatedly got excited about the series.
Carrie will be able to reach both
Harry Potter nuts and those forbidden
as children ever to touch the series on
the library shelf, he says.
Alumna Returns
to Give Poetry Reading
Poet Kelly (Gruver) Davio 04,
managing editor of the Los Angeles
Review, will read selections from her
book Burn This House Wednesday,
March 20 at 7 pm in Westmonts
Hieronymus Lounge at Kerrwood
Hall. Davio will be preceded by
Westmont student poets Riley Hall
and Paul Anderson. The event is free
to the public.
Even as an undergraduate, Kelly
showed uncommon promise as a
writer, says Paul Willis, Westmont
English professor and Santa Barbara
poet laureate. Since then, it has been
a pleasure to watch her make her way
with real assurance in the world of
poetry.
Davio, an associate editor of Fifth
Wednesday Journal and a reviewer
for Womens Review of Books, is a
Pushcart nominee whose work has
been honored in Best New Poets.
Her poems have been published in
many journals, including Gargoyle, the
Cincinnati Review, Bellingham Review,
the Evansville Review, the Portland
Review and Pank.
Davio examines her upbringing in
the fundamentalist Christian church
in Burn This House, her debut poetry
collection. Born and raised in Central
California, Davio studied English at
Westmont and earned a Master of
Fine Arts in poetry at the Northwest
Institute of Literary Arts, Whidbey
Writers Workshop.
She lives with her husband, Peter
Davio 04, in Seattle, where she teach-
es English as a second language to
high school students. MJ

tion of the thing, I said:
Im not sure if you need any art-
work, but I do computer graphics.
Ron, the Art Director, took my name
and number, shoved it in his pocket,
and I figured that was that.
A few days later I was at a small
house on the Westside that features
prominently in the movie, helping the
art department dress the set when Ron
said: I have a project for you.
Simple business cards? I asked
hopefully. Letterhead?
Ron laughed. Not diabolically or
anything, but I did feel a slight urge
to bolt. We need a banner for the high
school cafeteria scene. You know, one
of those Congratulations Seniors ban-
ners.
You mean the ones that are like ten
feet long, made with poster paints, and
have handprints all over them?
Exactly!
Hand printing is not exactly my
forte. The last hand-lettered sign I
made said: For Sale. Cheap. The
work For was really big. The word
Sale started big and got smaller. And
the word Cheap was smaller still and
I had to put the letters a and p run-
ning down the side. Thats why I do
computer graphics.
I called my stepdaughter. Shes
always making sets and costumes for
the kids schools. Wanna be in the
movies? I asked cheerfully. Took a
moment, but she said: Yes.
I was about to breathe a sigh of relief
when the studio president Jack said: I
need a baseball diamond poster.
Ah. Okay.
Took me hours to figure out how
to make the baseball diamond, then I
spent a lot of time getting the greens
and browns I wanted and the type just
right. I brought it to the set, holding it
carefully by the corners.
It has to look like its old and wrin-
kled, Jack said.
You want me to crumple my art?
No. I need two dozen that look
exactly the same.
Ah. Okay.
Took me almost as many hours to
turn my perfect new art into something
that looked like it had been in a garage
for years, but Jack liked it and I was
about to breathe a sigh of relief when...
We need a brochure for the
Mermaids Chest store scene, Ron
said.
And we need a bingo poster for
the Mountain Verde retirement home
scene, added his assistant Dana. And
a slide show poster with scenes of
Nepal.
For just a moment, I wished I had
volunteered for the lighting depart-
ment, or to be the guy in charge of
the on-set snacks. Then I headed for
my office.
I thought about making a sign that
said Never Volunteer, and hanging it
on my computer. But the truth is, once
I got over the initial panic of how the
heck was I going to create what they
wanted, it was actually a lot of fun.
And I felt like a valuable member of
a great team that shot twelve hours a
day for weeks, including scenes with
the graphics I created! Plus, with the
movie almost done, what more could
they need?
You ever been to Juvenile Hall
Probation Department? Ron asked
me.
No, and whoever said that is a big
fat liar! I said. I mean, why?
We need a giant official-looking
seal.
Ah. Okay.
So, why am I telling you all this?
Because our movie is premiering
in just a few weeks and I want all of
you to come and see it. The Bet was
made with all volunteers, some with
many years of filmmaking experience
and some like me who just wanted
to be part of something groundbreak-
ing. Written by Santa Barbaran Annie
Dahlgren, directed by Finola Hughes
of Montecito, and starring many local
actors and students, this is a funny,
thought-provoking, Santa Barbara
film. You will recognize many loca-
tions. And, now, you can point at the
screen and say: Look thats one of the
posters Ernie made!

W
hat happens when a writer
who has published a num-
ber of remarkable works of
fiction reads a remarkable number of
books?
If the writer happens to be Ali Smith
(1962, Inverness, Scotland), her fiction
emerges as truly remarkable. It is also
quirky and mischievously insightful,
producing an after effect similar to an
itch on a body part just beyond reach.
Also, if the writer is Ali Smith, she
is offered a visiting professorship at
a prestigious college within Oxford
University, where her abilities as a
storyteller mash up with the results
of years of close, close reading of the
stories, poems, and essays of other
writers, some still living, others not.
Among her other duties, she must
present four lectures, which are pre-
sented in a short, stunning book,
Artful, from The Penguin Press.
Artful is like no other book youve
read, with a lovely ratio in play; the
more books youve read, the likeli-
hood of this one being unlike any
other grows. Smith has the academics
passion for research and the ability to
draw provocative connections, with-
out the tendency of many academics
to use passive verb tenses and other
boring approaches to the glorious
potential of the English language for
conveying emotions and ideas.
Artful begins with a plaintive poem,
set as an epigram ending with the
couplet, Ill sit and mourn all at her
grave/ For a twelvemonth and a day.
Then, were thrust into this compel-
ling mash up: The twelvemonth and
a day being up, I was still at a loss. If
anything I was more at a loss.
So I went and stood in our study
and looked at your desk, where the
unfinished stuff, what youd been
working on last, was neatly piled. I
looked at your books, I took one of
your books off a shelf at random my
study, my desk, my books, now.
There are four sections to Artful, On
time, On form, On edge, and On
offer and on reflection, which are the
original lectures Smith presented. A
final section, Some sources, contains
a portfolio of photographs, illustra-
tions, and source notes, each in its way
as interesting as the first 220 pages.
Lets get back to the claim of unique-
ness I attribute to this work. Being the
stuff of lectures, it is performance art,
but it is also story in some cases a
ghost story, in others a mystery, and
in yet others a cautionary tale , essay,
critical commentary, and that grand
word favored more by first-rate magi-
cians and illusionists, prestidigitation.
Least of all is it the singsong drone we
associate with the boring excess we
associate with pedagogy.
Artful grabs us by the collar and
yanks us into a wild ride where we
are distracted by things stunning in
their seeming ordinariness to the point
where we drop our guard. Simplistic
as it may sound, Artful is a combina-
tion of story and essay in the classic
sense of an essay being a testing or
trying out of an idea to see if it works.
Artful immediately shows us per-
haps even confounds us with the
question of which is the story, which
the essay.
If the opening presentation of the
ghost story doesnt get you, the mov-
ing of the dead lovers chair is sure
to do the job. Be watchful for the
introduction of a borrowed character,
one Jack Dawkins, whom Ali Smith
has filched from the breast pocket of
Charles Dickens. In the novel Oliver
Twist, Jack Dawkins is better known as
The Artful Dodger, a pickpocket.
And watch for discussions and pic-
tures of Dawkins and Oliver, not to
forget the title of this book. Dont fail to
notice in the essay On Form the reap-
pearance of the Dodger in the instance
of his first sighting of Oliver Twist, nor
the appearance of the Dodger toward
the end, and no, none of these is a
spoiler, not by any means.
Readers and writers will be riveted by
Smiths use of the concept and passage
of time in all literature. After reading
Artful, you may find yourself jolted or
nudged into being forced to answer the
question asked of most book proposals
in most editorial meetings: How will
this book change your reading life?
P.S. Watch your wallet. MJ

LETTERS (Continued from page 9)
Body has voted to oppose three sneaky
bills:
SB 1 (Steinberg, D) has many duplic-
itous aspects, such as an unelected
regional governance called the
Sustainable Communities Investment
Authorities created by cities, coun-
ties, cities and counties together, or
special districts. Taxpayers would
have no oversight in the selection or
creation of these authorities and the
SCIAs would become their own legal
entities separate from the cities and
counties that created them. Sound
scary? It is.
SB 11 (Pavley, D) is an urgency
statute that would create a com-
mission to promote hydrogen fuel
vehicles and allocate $20 million a
year, each fiscal year, for establish-
ing a hydrogen fuel network and
fuel stations. Where would this
money come from? From increas-
es in smog abatement fees, vehi-
cle registration fees and tire fees
through 2024.
SB 33 (Wolk, D) is yet another
sneaky bill that would use taxes
without voter approval. SB 33 would
repeal the voter approval require-
ment to create an infrastructure-
financing district and approve of
bonds. This is egregious! Top consid-
eration for funding for transit proj-
ects would be given to a metropoli-
tan planning organizations deter-
mination that the sustainable com-
munities strategy or the alternative
planning strategy would, if imple-
mented, achieve the greenhouse gas
emission reduction targets.
These bills are being heard in
their respective committees soon!
For SB 1 and SB 33, they are being
heard in the Senate Governance and
Finance Committee this Wednesday.
Please call the committee (916-651-
4119) or fax (916-322-0298) in a let-
ter of opposition to let them know
we oppose.
SB 11 is being heard in the
Senate Transportation and Housing
Committee on April 2. Please call
(916-651-41210 or fax (916-445-2209)
and tell the committee we oppose.

(Editors note: Most of all the stran-
gulating regulations that are forcing
businesses to flee California and caus-
ing any business considering com-
ing or expanding here to have second
thoughts begin like this, with no one
paying attention or caring. So, thank
you for bringing this to the publics
attention. Such exposure may not have
any influence this time around, but
eventually this kind of sunlight will
surely disinfect other future bills of
this type. If it doesnt, we will all be
in deeper doo doo than we can contem-
plate. J.B.) MJ

Behind The Scenes
At The Opera
Transition House had a unique ben-
efit a few days before the opening
of the opera Aida at the Granada.
General director of Opera Santa
Barbara Steven Sharpe took us on
a backstage (actually underground)
tour of the theatre.
He began by telling us, The
Granada was built in 1924, one year
before the earthquake. The owner
ordered a How To book on build-
ing and it survived unscathed, one
of the few things left downtown.
Many stars have graced its stage like
Charlie Chaplin, Fred Astaire, Ginger
Rogers, Al Jolsen and Helen Hayes,
to name a few. Some of us remember
when the Granada was turned into a
triplex movie theatre with the balcony
cemented in rather like the Berlin Wall.
And now it has been transformed into
one of the most beautiful theatres in
the world.
All the different dressing rooms
were filled with costumes for the real-
ly large production of Aida, makeup
laid out, and wigs ready to be donned.
Steven joked, There wont be any
elephants in this production. The
stage had been lowered to form a pit
for the 49-piece orchestra. The produc-
tion is being done in modern time and
the set was made to look like Sadam
Husseins bombed out palace. All of
the costumes and the set came from
Glimmerglass Opera in Cooperstown,
New York, which is similar in size
to our Granada. Hopefully they will
be partnering again since our budget
isnt nearly as large as theirs and its
much more costly to mount the whole
production.
Then our troupe trooped nearby to
Arts and Letters Caf for a private
lunch the whole event arranged
by Kathryn Dinkin all to benefit
Transition House Auxiliary.
In Memorium
My friend, designer Luis Estevez,
called to tell me about the death of
his dear and longtime friend Betsy
Pickering Kaiser (in her 80s) who had
lived here for six years. Because of my
being involved in modeling for many
years, Luis thought it would be appro-
priate for me to remember her. Betsy
was an international model with the
Ford Agency in the 1950s and was just
as famous as Suzy Parker (long time
Montecito resident). However, Betsy
chose a college education and a nor-
mal life over fame. I wish I had known
her. Luis and all her friends will long
remember this lovely lady. MJ
