Court Puts Montecito Fire Board on Hot Seat
T
he Montecito Fire Boards plan for a third fire station at 2500 East
Valley Road was derailed last week by Superior Court Judge Thomas
P. Anderle, when he rejected the previous approval by the former
Montecito Fire Board and vacated its Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
The surprise decision negated five years of effort and an estimated million
dollars of taxpayer funding already spent on the proposed Station #3 Site
Identification Study, the inadequate EIR, station architecturals, engineering
plans, personnel time and legal costs.
Judge Anderle found that the existing EIR was fatally defective in rely-
ing on the Palmer Jackson East sites zoning for 93 estate homes at Rancho
San Carlos, instead of focusing on its current use as a highly productive agri-
cultural lemon orchard. The EIR did not perform the required environmen-
tal analysis, and thus did not comply with the mandates of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
In his decision, Judge Anderle wrote, The semi-rural, semi-agrarian
nature of the Montecito community is highly prized by many of its resi-
dents.... The public was entitled to a proper evaluation, based upon direct
and current impacts, rather than being led to believe that full build-out of
the Rancho San Carlos (Palmer Jacksons lemon orchard) property was a fait
accompli and was not even discussed in the EIR.
The Montecito Fire Protection District Board addressed Judge Anderles
decision in a special closed session last Friday to review what went wrong
and to determine what to do next.
What Went Wrong
The proposed Station #3 was actively supported by the four former MFPD
Fire Chiefs and the previous three-man Board largely because funding was
available. The assumptions surrounding the perceived need for faster fire
response times in eastern Montecito were inadequately documented. The
Board has a number of options, each with different costs and time delays:
1) The Board can appeal the Court decision;
2) The Board can revise and re-circulate a new EIR;
3) A meeting could be held where the Palmer Jackson family could sit
down with litigants Craig McCaw (Pines Trust) and Joe Cole, representing
the Montecito Agricultural Foundation, and explore settlement options;
4) The new five-member Board can and should continue its current
efforts to craft a realistic strategy for optimal community protection that
is fact-based and offers the best fire and life safety value at an affordable
cost.
An appeal could take two or more years, and could cost hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars in attorney fees, especially if the appeal was unsuccessful
and the court required MFPD to pay both parties legal costs.
What To Do Now
Most importantly, the new Board needs to come together, acknowledge
deficiencies in the previous EIR, and work collaboratively to prepare a
thoughtful and well-documented strategic business plan, including what
role a third fire station should, or should not, play in future fire and life
safety protection for Montecito. The new Board has already begun this
effort by initiating the process for an independently-commissioned study
of Montecitos Community Risk Assessment & Standards of Cover. The
results will provide the Board with a fact-based analysis of the current and
future fire and life safety needs of the community, validating each type of
risk, realistic current and future response times, operational considerations
and alternative solutions. In addition, the new Board has decided to com-
mission an independent audit to quantify the true financial liabilities on
the balance sheet stemming from ballooning pension and lifetime medical
retirement costs. If the magnitude of these liabilities wipes out the reserves
and creates a negative net worth, a new third fire station becomes extremely
problematic.
Emergency medical calls now outnumber fire calls by 25 to 1. Structure
fires have become increasingly rare because of mandatory sprinkler sys-
tems, alarms and tougher building codes. With emergency medical calls

scar winner Gwyneth Paltrow
has been singing the praises of
Santa Barbara!
The 40-year-old actress, who stud-
ied anthropology briefly at UCSB
before dropping out to follow an act-
ing career, recently spent a long week-
end in our Eden by the Beach with her
rocker husband, Chris Martin, and
their two children, Apple and Moses,
and has written glowingly about her
stay on her weekly lifestyle site, Goop.
It is such a jewel of a little city,
she gushes, after staying at Beanie
Baby billionaire Ty Warners San
Ysidro Ranch, where she tied the knot
with the lead singer of Coldplay in
December, 2003, in an oh-so private
wedding.
Gwyneth, who has been the face
of Estee Lauders Pleasures perfume
for the past eight years, also waxes
lyrical about El Capitan Canyon, a
resort made up of cabins and tents,
and the newly re-opened El Encanto,
although she admits she hasnt been
quite yet.

Montecito
First Battle; New War
Theres no defense against someone
walking nonchalantly into a crowded
restaurant and blowing everybody
up if said bomber is willing to die
along with their victims. America is
only a few years away from produc-
ing homegrown suicide bombers in
quantities. Weve already created the
Chechen brothers. They were raised
and came of age in America. They are
ours.
The average Muslim in America
is not yet severely alienated.
Those whove been radicalized here
and come from Chechnya and other
Central Asian republics already come
here alienated and with huge chips on
their shoulders.
Boston is the first battle of a new
war in America. Its possible our big,
secularized urban centers by 2016
will become like Jerusalem 15 years
ago. These newly minted Islamic fun-
damentalists dont see urban liberal
America as Christian, but as irreli-
gious and anti-religious; they see this
America as pagan and given over to
Satans activities and very much at
war with Allah and Mohammed.
You wont see these radicalized,
alienated American-made jihadists-
for-Allah rushing into Baptist church-
es looking for a high body count.
They see huge secular events such
as the Boston Marathon as the holy
Eucharist and sacramental rite for the
pagan and un-churched.
These jihadists see the rich, edu-
cated, affluent masses in America
as the real infidels, the ones whove
abandoned religion and God and see
nothing wrong in making fun of Allah
or Islam.
They will target and attack the
citadels of materialism and secular
humanism in our sprawling, irreli-
gious urban areas: museums, large
universities, sporting events that cater
to people who seek only material goals
in life and practice secular human-
ism, restaurants and cafes frequented
by these people, theaters and huge
international financial and computer-
related corporations and banks.
Ninety-eight percent of Americans
are saddened, angered and appalled
at what these two alienated immi-
grants from Chechen Republic did to
Americas comfort level.
But two percent thats over six
million people arent. Their imagi-
nation has been triggered, inspired.
They know its now possible to make
a statement for Allah, Mohammed
and Islam by striking at Americas
soft and hard-to-protect underbelly. It
doesnt require three huge airplanes
worth millions each to give America
a taste of what Muslim nations have
had to suffer under these past forty
years.
Less than a thousand dollars of
bomb material can wreak billions
of dollars of economic damage, and
untold harm to Americas national
psyche.
If people are willing to die for Allah,
nobody can ward off the havoc they
can wreak on us just before they go to
meet their Maker!

Dubyas
Coloring Books
As is the protocol, yet another
ex-president of the United States
of America is due to have a library
named in his honor.
Normally these events happen with
timely and appropriate reverence and
publicity, however, this time President
George W. Bush (Dubya) has asked
for a delay to the opening as there are
only two books in his library and he
hasnt finished coloring them in yet!
Regards,
Ian Thompson

(formerly Goleta)
(Editors note: We take it from your
extrapolation of an old joke about George
W. that you are not a fan of our ex-pres-
ident from Texas. Well let history be the
judge but figure hell place somewhere in
the middle of the presidential pantheon.
We do agree with you on this subject
though: all these libraries (unless total-
ly paid for with private money and never
subsidized with even one dime of public
money) should be placed in one building.
The idea of creating a temple for every
president that ever sat in the oval office
is, well, slightly discomfiting. Most of us
are quite aware that Rome, once it became
an official empire, deified each emperor,
most often after their having left office,
which in those days meant their demise.
We like the idea of a republic rather than
an empire, and in a republic one such
library should suffice for all the former
inhabitants of the highest office in the
land. J.B)
Proboscis Pulchritude
Ive been enjoying the letter debate
between Cotty Chubb and Ralph
Iannelli. For example: Iannelli denies
having asserted that the spending of
$2.2 billion on a program to provide
cell phones to welfare recipients was
attributable to Obama.
Um, Mr. Iannelli yeah you did. In
very emphatic terms.
You apologize for having conveyed
F
or several decades, I have been
filing in the little room of the
Montecito History Committee
at our local library completed sets
of architectural design and working
drawings of the dozens of homes and
other buildings that I have designed
and drawn. This file also includes
photos and records of the murals and
paintings at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel
Church and other locations that I com-
pleted and installed.
The History Committee is a won-
derful resource to the Montecito com-
munity, not only for history enthusi-
asts, but also for those who now own
these homes and paintings. At the
moment, or in the decades to follow,
for example, the next generations of
home and Fine Art owners can easily
access the original design construc-
tion documents to help them maintain
their homes and art, or if adding new
construction, to follow the original
concept and details from the actual
plans and intentions of our townsfolk.
The plans at the committee are
reduced to the standard 11x17 for-
mat so that with modern printing
technique, they can be reproduce and
enlarged to their original scale and
size, making them as easy to use as the
originals. Other designers and artists
may want to add their work too.
I am writing this note to your pub-
lication to encourage the use of the
committees services currently at the
library, but I am mainly writing to
encourage community support(ers)
for the committees fine service and to
help keep it a permanent aspect of our
beautiful community and its authentic
and cultural heritage.
The archives at the Camino del
Remedio office are also a source of
filed original drawings. However,
these plans are on delicate paper
and can get very worn. The originals
could also be altered. The Montecito
History Committees files are on mod-

the impression that it was even a
federal government program.
You didnt inadvertently create an
impression; you adamantly asserted
it as fact. Now you claim that what
you did say was that 40% of the
programs recipients didnt qualify.
But that was hardly the thrust of your
assertion: you merely appended that
as an Oh, by the way.
Whenever I hear someone preface
a debate with admonitions, such as
Iannellis, to adhere to facts rather
than emotions, and accusations of lit-
erary sleight of hand, I look for a
nose about to grow, and some amus-
ing cover for sloppy assertions.

Lawn Bowling
A special event is coming to Santa
Barbara on Saturday, May 11 that may
change your life for the better. This
is an open house from 10 am to 3 pm
at McKenzie Park that will introduce
you to lawn bowling and its many
associated benefits.
About ten years ago, a tennis buddy
of mine introduced me to lawn bowl-
ing, and I agreed to check it out. I have
since then become an avid proponent
of lawn bowling for the following
reasons:
1) At my age, my knees will only
allow me to play tennis twice a week,
and my shoulder wont allow me to
play beach volleyball any longer;
2) For many years I was an avid
golfer, but I have found I enjoy lawn
bowling more and so I only play golf
about once a month;
3) Lawn bowling is a game and not
a sport, so it is not aerobic. If you only
want an aerobic exercise, this is not
for you;
4) You do not have to set up games
as in tennis and golf, but just go out
to the greens at 9:30 am or 12 pm, and
the game is set up for you;
5) It only takes two hours to play
a game, which for me is great for I
still have time for my work or other
endeavors;
6) It is a very social game;
7) Lawn bowling is definitely a
game of skill;
8) It costs about $250 a year to join
the McKenzie Park Lawn Bowling
Club;
9) The greens are located at
McKenzie Park, which is across the
street from Santa Barbara Municipal
Golf Course.
If youd like to find out more about
this really good little known game,
please call me at 805-962-0375, e-mail
me at: larrylarsson@gmail.com, or just
show up for the open house which
will include an introduction and free
lessons. What could be easier?
Directions: across the street from the
municipal golf course and Gelsons at
State Street and Las Positas. Go into
the lower parking lot of McKenzie
Park, then take the driveway up the
hill, and there you are.

(Editors note: Among the better and
more sociable players are Jim Morton
and his champion-level wife, Eileen; we
also hear that Lee Artman has taken up
the game. J.B.)

and a new property acquisition in
Carpinteria. We have raised just over
half at this point.
The 12 Habitat homes they have
begun to build will house 43 people,
including 20 children. The occupants
have strict qualifying requirements,
including living in substandard hous-
ing. They will have zero-interest mort-
gages, but also have to contribute
many hours of sweat equity, help-
ing to build their future home.
Board president Brian Boyle and
executive director Joyce McCullough
have both seen inadequate and sub-
standard housing that many of these
families live in: four person families
living in one bedroom, children living
in unconverted garages and apart-
ments with large amounts of mold.
Board member Janet Garufis led
the unusual live auction. Instead of
trips or items, the audience bid on
foundations, walls, insulation, doors
and windows. Habitat exceeded the
matching grant of $50,000 by raising
$67,000 from the auction. Their vision

Summer Festival
The Music Academy of the West
is gearing up for its annual Summer
Festival, which began with a council
reception and festival preview. Its
always a treat to be in the old estate
house and courtyard for any festivity,
and this was no exception. Mimosas
and delicate, delicious bites were
passed while all the music lovers met
in anticipation of the fellows who will
be arriving in June.
As executive director Scott Reed told
guests, This year we have 140 fellows
(young men and women musicians)
out of 1,681 worldwide who audi-
tioned, including 35 returnees. That
is an increase of 12% from last year.
Represented are 21 states and 13 coun-
tries with the average age being 23.
There will be 200 musical events dur-
ing the two months. Our council has
grown to 282 families. Advancement
Chair Judy Getto proudly added, We
are training the next generation of
classical musicians.
The guests strolled over to Hahn
Hall for a short recital by alumni.
Representing season corporate spon-
sor Montecito Bank & Trust president
and CEO Janet Garufis promised no
long speeches. She reminded us that
the council provides full scholar-
ships for all 140 of the students. The
bank has been participating for 19
years but not as a season sponsor.
The schedule is out so if youd like
to subscribe for the season or for infor-
mation call 969-8787.
Womans Clubs 83
rd
It always amazes me the longevity
of the Santa Barbara Womans Club
at Rockwood. The members just pre-
sented their 83
rd
annual fashion show.
Then, gloves and hats were de rigueur.
Today, there were no gloves and only
two or three hats. Its hard to imagine
what ladies will be wearing 83 years
from now.
Members mingled prior to lunch
and board president Linda Alderman
welcomed everyone. After lunch,
member models strutted their stuff
on the long runway to the music of
Fredrik Rosvall on the grand piano.
On the piano was a crystal candelabra
with a fascinating history. During the
Civil War, the owners had buried it
when the enemy soldiers came by. The
current owner isnt sure which side
that was.
Looking great in the colorful clothes
were Barbara Dixon, Nanci Elliott,
Han Sun Gotschall, Marlene Hill,
Katherine Lindgren, Debora Petlow
and Debbie Saucedo. Commentator
Kathleen Waltrip from Talbots told
us about the latest trends, especially
the bright bold colors of this springs
fashions and event coordinator Sue
Ziliotto gave a brief bio of each
model.
Some of the members working
on committees were Marie Zeman,
Gudrun Venzor, Maria Parisotto and
Rita Zandona. Dressers were Diane
Gillilan, Joan Hanna and Lynda
Williams-Terres.

It all began when Rods mother was
dying and various friends and rela-
tives came to see her. As Rod explains,
They were saying the most interest-
ing and profound things about this
woman to whom they had been close.
I knew I would never remember it
all, so I grabbed a paper and pen and
started to write what they said. It
took him four years before he could
read those notes but then the words
flew on paper and the autobiographi-
cal play, Unfinished Business, was born.
Julie Lopp and Don Bushnell host-
ed a meet and greet for those involved
and to inform the press. Among those
attending were ALDW executive
director Susan Plummer and Alliance

American Riviera Bank
The new community bank in
Montecito just opened its doors and
Im ready to move in. It is a charm-
ing new, Cape Cod-style building just
behind San Ysidro Pharmacy in the
Upper Village, resembling a home
more than a bank. CEO and presi-
dent Jeff DeVine says, That was the
idea. The American Riviera Banks
second location has no teller win-
dows. Instead you sit at a desk to
transact business.
To celebrate the occasion, guests
were invited to the Grand Opening.
There was a small tented cover in the
charming parking lot no asphalt
here just paver stones and flower
baskets hanging from the lampposts.
American Riviera Bank is the first
tenant in the Gunner family complex
made up of individually designed
architecture unique to each building.
There was plenty of wine and food
and self guided tours of the two-
story bank. Chairman of the board
Larry Koppelman, CFO Michelle
Martinich and senior vice president
Laurie Leighty were all smiles greet-
ing and meeting current and hope-
fully future clients.
Among those attending were Darren
Caesar, Doug Margerum, Dave and
Melissa Drorak, John Glanville, Art
and Barbara Henzell, Carol and Ned
Quackenbush, Don and Barbara
Margerum, Molly Ahlstrand, Takip
Kadri, Frank and Bonnie Burgess.
The Bet
The world premiere screening of The
Bet took place recently at the Arlington
Theatre. Prior to that I got to go to
Maravilla and hang out with some
of our local seniors who had parts
in the movie, which was all filmed
in Santa Barbara. Maravilla put on a
good spread at the clubhouse topped
off with wine before the program. We
heard tales of these first-time movie
actors. Our residents are extraordi-
nary and out of the ordinary, said
director of programs Jill Sandrich
In 2011, Community Film Studio
Santa Barbara (CFSSB) was formed
sort of a community theatre of
film and a non-profit. Actress Finola
Hughes (Emmy winning actress from
General Hospital and a Carpinteria resi-
dent) directed the first production, The
Bet, with a budget of about $60,000.
Over 300 local community volunteers
helped with the project. The movie
will now make the rounds of various
film festivals in hopes of broader dis-
tribution. MJ

Not Ready After All
Former Desperate Housewives actress
Eva Longoria, who shot her new NBC
series Ready for Love in Montecito, has
suffered a major setback.
The dating show, which featured
Santa Barbara bachelor Tim Lopez, 31,
a member of the Grammy nominated
rockers, Plain White Ts, has been can-
celled after just two episodes because
of poor ratings.
The debut show drew a measly
3.8 million viewers and in its sec-
ond week declined 13 percent in the
important 18-49 demographic, accord-
ing to the Hollywood Reporter.
Its Tuesday night slot will now be
filled by the police fantasy drama
Grimm.
It is unclear when, if at all, the
remaining episodes of Ready for Love
will air.
Hosted by Bill and Giuliana
Rancic, the show sought to find a
match for three bachelors using three
professional matchmakers to search
for single matches.
Its so hard to date anybody today,
Longoria told the network before her
show aired. This show puts it into
a format that people are using today.
Matchmakers. The Internet. Scouring
the earth for that perfect match.
I think people will take away inspi-
ration, motivation to find their match.

Carol and Carrie
Montecito-based comedienne Carol
Burnett has described her agony at
the death of her daughter, Carrie,
from cancer a decade ago, in a new
bittersweet memoir about their rela-
tionship.
Carrie And Me: A Mother-Daughter
Love Story charts the tight bond
between Carol, 79, and her spirit-
ed daughter through diary entries,
poems, e-mails and photographs
exchanged between them.
Carol made no secret of her daugh-
ters battle with drugs and alcohol
during her teenage years in Los
Angeles, speaking publicly about the
familys worries and then Carries
triumph in overcoming her addiction.
People magazine revealed her
daughters battle with drug addiction
in Carol Burnetts Nightmare on its
cover in October, 1979.
After her recovery, Carrie followed
her mother into showbusiness. The
book tells of Carries young adult life
and her success on stage and screen.
In 1992, Carrie Hamilton starred in
the movie Cool World with Gabriel
Byrne, Kim Basinger and Brad Pitt.
She also starred on TV alongside her
mother and was critically acclaimed
for her role in the first national tour of
the stage musical Rent.
However, the growing success
in her own right was cut short by
Carries cancer diagnosis in 2001 at
the age of 37.
Carol, best known for her long-
running CBS TV variety show with
Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence and
Tim Conway from 1967 to 1978, uses
e-mails to deal with the painful period
after Carries diagnosis with lung can-
cer and her subsequent chemo and

the Miraflores campus will be trans-
formed into various shops, includ-
ing The Rack, the vintage and design-
er retail resale clothing shop on the
property, and the Treasure House,
which features art, antiques, and col-
lectibles. Other for-sale items, which
include furniture, rugs, small appli-
ances, kitchenware, garden acces-
sories, fine linens, antiques, silver,
crystal, china, art, collectibles, books,
board games, music and movies, elec-
tronics, jewelry, mens and womens
clothing, luggage, sports equipment,
and more, will be organized and dis-
played in parking lots and throughout
the campus. It gives the commu-
nity the opportunity to shop and also
peruse the grounds of our beautiful
campus, Sulger said. The sale ends
at 3 pm.
Now in its 37th year, May Madness
has become a popular event in
Montecito. The event was the brain
child of longtime MAW supporter
Isabel Blakeslee, who held the first
ever event in 1975. Her idea was
to have members of the Womens
Auxiliary, which was established in
1954, donate items from their homes
and businesses for a gigantic estate
sale, and also have the ladies par-
ticipate in the selling process. All
proceeds from the sale would cre-
ate scholarships for young musicians
to experience performances and also
practice their art. The sale, which
was once small enough to fit in one
concert hall on campus, has grown
into a highly anticipated communi-
ty event, practically taking over the
entire property. Some 200 volunteers
have been busy collecting and orga-
nizing donations, which will be sold
at bargain prices, Thompson tells us.
Because of the grand size of the
sale, parking is limited on campus,
and a shuttle service will run from
the Las Aves complex near the Bird
Refuge on Los Patos Way. A caf
area will serve up refreshments and
bakes goods.
May Madness sponsors this year
include Ablitts, Baroncelli Linens,
Chaucers Books, Coast 2 Coast, Four
Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa
Barbara, Hazelwood Transfer and
Storage, Italian Pottery Outlet, Lana
Marm, Michael G. Schmidtchen &
Co., Montecito Caf, Occhiali, Salon
Patine, Strategic Incentives, and
Wendy Foster and Pierre Lafond.
The Music Academy offers a full
scholarship program for young, gift-
ed, aspiring musicians who come to
study and perform in Montecito for
an eight-week course and program.
The talented musicians learn through
performances and master classes,
which are open to the public in June
and July for the Summer Festival. Last
year MAW marked the opening of the
recently completed Luria Education
Center, named in honor of longtime
Music Academy benefactors Leatrice
and Eli Luria, and features improved
facilities for Academy fellows. The
center features an expanded music
library, the latest in computer and net-
working technologies, individual and
ensemble practice rooms and teach-
ing facilities, a pair of lounges, and a
catering kitchen and serving area. It
sits beside a central courtyard named
in honor of local philanthropist Leslie
Ridley-Tree and an enclosed dining
patio bearing the name of Academy
advocate Sarah Jane Lind. Work on
the $10.8 million Luria Education
Center began in August 2010.
Art donations are still being sought;
call 687-6582 for more information.
Other donations can be dropped off
in the lower parking area at the Music
Academy (simply follow the signage
upon entering the campus). Clothing
donations may also be delivered to
The Rack, the Music Academys on-
campus resale apparel shop, during
regular business hours, 12 pm to 3 pm
Tuesday through Saturday.
The Music Academy of the West
is located at 1070 Fairway Road.

Adelaides Triumph
SENIORITY

munity representative for

also host of the Senior

W
hen I first met Adelaide
Ortega, she was happily
working on a ceramics proj-
ect at the Braille Institute but took
time out to talk to me and share her
story. In 1985, Adelaide contracted
a rare eye disease, lost her vision,
and went through a period of deep
despair. In an attempt to be helpful,
her family began doing everything
for her. Adelaide had always been an
active person but at this low point in
her life, she felt useless.
Adelaide recalled behaving badly
and wallowing in self-pity. She
refused to go to the Braille Institute
because she thought that everyone sat
around reading dots and that it would
be depressing and boring. Her family
didnt know how to help her. One
day, they invited her to go to lunch
and Adelaide recalls that when they
parked the car, she didnt smell any
food. Unbeknownst to Adelaide, they
had taken her to the Braille Institute.
A lady walked up and introduced
herself as the counselor. Adelaide
asked, The counselor of what? And
the counselor replied, Youre at the
Braille Institute. Adelaide was furi-
ous but her family had already left
so she sat at a table and began to talk
to people. She felt an instant rapport
and realized that everyone there had
felt the same frustration, feelings of
helplessness, and sadness that she
was feeling.
The Braille Institute helped her
to gradually regain her indepen-
dence. First, she took Orientation and
Mobility classes and learned to walk
with a cane. She also took cooking
classes and learned to get things in
order in her kitchen. When she got
her guide dog, she was able to get
around town by herself.
Lynn Dubinsky is the education-
al program manager at the Braille
Institute. She says that there are
many misconceptions about the
organization. First of all, the name is
a misnomer. When you hear it, you
think that you need to be complete-
ly blind and that the only reason
to attend is to learn to read Braille.
While they do have a wonderful
Braille reading program, they offer
70 other classes a week all free
of charge. Some of their offerings
include basket weaving, ceramics,
French cooking, tandem bike rid-
ing, independent living skills, home
management, and much more. They
are on the forefront of developing
apps for people who are blind or
have low vision. There are apps that
can enlarge print or read color and
money. Some of the most popular
programs teach people to use main-
stream technology in a way thats
adapted for them to increase their
independence.
Today Adelaide says, Ive never
been happier in my life. She has
returned to an active, independent
life has become a skilled basket
weaver, teaches ceramics, bowls, and
even plays golf. I couldnt imagine
how you could golf without vision
and learned that a coach lines you up
with the ball and tells you whether to
open or close the club face. Then, he
either hits the pin, or walks you from
the ball to the pin so you can locate
the hole.
Adelaide has had the honor of
being invited to Scotland to take
part in The World Cup West Golf
Tournament, put on by the Scottish
Disability Golf Partnership. It would
be a dream come true for Adelaide.
The tournament takes place July 21st
July 25th and Adelaide needs help
funding the trip. If youre inspired
by her story and would like to help
her get to Scotland, a fund has been
set up for that purpose at Montecito
Bank & Trust. Checks can be made
out to Adelaide Ortega and sent to:
Montecito Bank & Trust, 1000 State
Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101
The Braille Institute is located at
2031 De La Vina. You are invited to
tour the beautiful facility or receive a
catalogue of classes. The next session
begins May 6. The Braille Institute
also has library services with digi-
tal downloads for people who are
dyslexic, have limited vision, or are
blind. For more information, visit
www.brailleinstitute.org, or call 682-

T
he Montecito Heat Index mea-
sures present demand for sin-
gle-family houses in distinct
price sectors. And since real estate
activity fluctuates seasonally, 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 199, an increase
of 180.2% over last year. The remark-
able $1m and under group which
came into existence shortly after the
market correction is no longer. There
are simply no homes listed in this sec-
tor today.
The overwhelming favorite among
buyers today is the $1-2m sector scor-
ing a huge score of 125, an increase
of 420.8% over last year. The $2-3m
sector found considerable Buyer inter-
est with a score of 52, well above last
years score of 13. And the 4-5m group
also outperformed while the high-end
$5m and above sector score a 4 below
last years score of 17.
The demand story here in Montecito
is beginning to change to reflect not
just investors with cash focusing on
the low end of the market, but to all
other sectors as well. Certainly the
low end continues to dominate and
appears to be investor driven yet now
in the $1-2m group. Every other sector
found interest, something we havent
seen too often particularly in the high-
er end properties.
Although the total market is moving
in the right direction, and including
more price sectors, there is a sense of
shared confusion by both buyers and
sellers as to valuation, which makes
shaking hands a more drawn out pro-
cess.
A contributing factor to this uncer-
tainty is the number of homes on
the market. New listings here in
Montecito are down by more than
10%. And in the $1-2m, sector listings
are down a stunning 56%. Sellers have
a much easier time holding on to their
asking price when so many competi-
tors are gone.
Buyers recognize we arent much
above 2003 price levels, and money,
if you can get it, is cheap, near 3.5%
for a 30-year fixed. As a result, 13%
more homes are presently under
contract than a year ago and the
number sold has increased by 6%
year over year.
The best news however is price. It
is indeed moving up and faster than
most predicted. Here, our median
price (the imperfect marker for valu-
ation) is up a significant 54% over this
date last year to $2,750,000: way off
the $3.7m we fondly remember, but
way above the more recent $1.4m
median price.
Few believe we will see a long
term, continuous price increase curve
as was the case in the 1996-2006 mar-
ket, which at least tripled the price
of most Montecito homes. We will
be nothing but bubble fearful for a
long time and the Fed will do what it
can to see we dont repeat the events
of the past. Nearly everyone does
believe, however, that interest rates
must rise have nowhere to go but up
and with it inflation and thus home
prices. Buyers believe this most, and
I believe we will see more of them in
our most active Spring-Summer sell-
ing season. MJ

ury brands from around the world,
many exclusive to the boutiques. The
stores, located in Los Angeles, Aspen,
New York, and other fashion destina-
tions, are curated by owner Cristina
Nicoletti, with a design aesthetic she
describes as street luxury.
The second new tenant to be
announced is Jenni Kayne, who will
feature her namesake fashion line
at two of owner Richard Gunners
buildings. She has signed leases for
two of the buildings, with the inten-
tion of selling her womens clothing
line in one and childrens clothing in
the other. Kayne currently sells her
fashions at high end boutiques in
nine states. Her stores will occupy the
craftsman style building to the right
of S.R. Hogue, and the antique barn
wood building to the left of Henry
Beguelin.
Another fashion retailer, a haute
couture fashion and furniture bou-
tique in the stone building west of
S.R. Hogue, will open later this year.
The 800-sq-ft store, owned by fashion
designer Julieann Stark, will be pri-
vate and exclusive, catering to women
shopping for couture clothing from
some of the worlds most elite cloth-
ing designers. The property has real-
ly turned into an antique and fashion
Mecca, Gunner told us. Well have
more on the new stores in an upcom-
ing issue.
On Wednesday, April 17, over 300
community members stopped by the
grand opening of American Riviera
Bank, the first tenant to open in the
new buildings, which are recently
completed after being in the works for
the last five years.
Located at 525 San Ysidro Road,
Building G, the branch will be the
banks second (1033 Anacapa
Street is the original location). The
1,500-square-foot branch is located
in a Cape Cod-style building with
two stories and an interior featuring
white bead board, decorative mold-
ings, and a coffered ceiling consistent
with the exterior theme. First District
Supervisor Salud Carbajal said he is
happy that another bank has opened
in his district, bringing increased com-
merce to the area.
The branch will be open 9 am to 5
pm Monday through Thursday, and
9 am to 6 pm on Fridays. Tellers will
use desks instead of a counter, and the
four full-time employees will use the
newest technology in cash machines.

americanrivierabank.com.
The new tenants will join neighbors
San Ysidro Pharmacy, Montecito Coffee
Shop, Country House Antiques, S.R.
Hogue, Coldwell Banker, and William
Laman Antiques. Two other buildings
remain open on the site. Gunner says
they are looking for unique, long-term
tenants for the remaining vacancies.
Montecito Planning
Commission Upholds
Denial
On Wednesday, April 17, the
Montecito Planning Commission
unanimously voted to reject an appeal
of Montecito Board of Architectural
Reviews denial of a single family
housing project slated to be built on
Tiburon Bay Lane.
The property is located in the
Montecito Avocado Ranch, between
North Jameson Lane and San Leandro
Lane. The proposed project consists of
demolishing the existing home on the
five-acre property, which is part of a
subdivision of the Ranch. The owner,
Jan Handtmann, filed an application
to build a new two-story home on
a 1.5-acre building envelope on the
property, along with a cabana, a guest-
house, a horse stable, and a barn.
The now 10,000-sq-ft project is smaller
than the original 13,000-sq-ft project;
Handtmanns representatives were
in front of MPC appealing MBARs
January 28th denial of the preliminary
approval of the plans.
The Montecito Avocado Ranch prop-
erty is the only portion of Montecito
defined by the Montecito Community
Plan as being agricultural. The
Countys agricultural zoning designa-
tion does not require that the property
owner continue agricultural activities
on their property, but the County can
and does restrict development to a
building envelope on the property in
order to encourage agriculture, which
is the historic use of the site.
Because of the agricultural desig-
nation, the owner is entitled to keep
up to ten horses on the property; the
proposed stable will be able to house
six horses. Handtmanns neighbors
are unhappy with the proposed horse
keeping, and say horse keeping is
not compatible with the surround-
ing community. Over a dozen neigh-
bors spoke in front of the MPC, some
lamenting that the high number of
horses to be kept on the property will
have dire implications on the envi-
ronment, including contamination of
nearby creeks and beaches, as well
as impact the avocado supply. More
horse concerns include noise, smell,
activity level, and possible commer-
cial use of the property, as well as
negative impacts on property values.
Other neighbors voiced concern about
the removal of 31 trees on the building
envelope, and almost everyone said

the proposed project is out of scale
with the surrounding homes, which
was MBARs finding for denial.
Representatives of the property
owner say the project is residential
with an agricultural component; 3.5
acres of the site will remain an avo-
cado orchard with no tree removal.
Earlier this month, Ms Handtmanns
son-in-law and project manager, Trey
Evans, also said there would be sub-
stantial buffer of 140 feet from neigh-
boring fence lines. The intent of this
project was never commercial, he
told the Montecito Association board
of directors, who ended up agreeing
with MBAR that the project is out
scale with the community, and sent a
letter to the MPC stating that position.
MBAR got it right, said commis-
sioner Michael Phillips, who said
the issue is not about horses, but the
projects incompatible bulk, scale, and
size. Brown agreed, saying she was
not basing her vote on the horse issue,
but rather the intensity of use of the
1.5-acre building envelope. I dont
think that this much development
is acceptable, agreed commissioner
Dan Eidelson.

dominating the dispatch center, does it still make sense to send one or two
fire engines on paramedic calls? Since the MFPD paramedic vehicle cannot
transport local residents to hospitals, would Montecito be better served at
a lesser cost by seeking out a different kind of public-private ambulance
partnership for parts of the District? Could the new Summerland fire sta-
tion provide fire protection for eastern Montecito? Can the District pur-
chase the Palmer Jackson site and land bank it, but delay building a fire
station until new home construction on the lemon orchard provides suf-
ficient property tax revenues to afford both fire protection and emergency
medical assistance?
Working Together Is Best Solution
The core question is not the third fire station, nor the fatally-flawed EIR,
but the conflicting concerns of two influential homeowners on opposite
sides of East Valley Road: Craig McCaw and the Palmer Jackson family.
McCaw, who founded and sold McCaw Communications in 1994, and then
took control of Nextel, before selling it to Nextel Sprint in 2006, bought
the 15.47 acre Arabian horse farm on East Valley Road from English actor,
comedian, writer and film producer, John Cleese in July 2008. McCaw,
would like to see his eastern Montecito neighborhood remain bucolic
and agricultural. Jackson family members are among the most generous
and civic-minded residents in Montecito; they have been granted zoning
approval within the Montecito Community Plan for restricted residential
development rights on their 76.87-acre lemon ranch, owned by the Palmer
G. Jackson Trust.
The Montecito Agriculture Foundation, which brought the EIR challenge,
has indicated a desire to work with the Fire District, the Jackson family and
the community to find appropriate solutions to meeting Montecitos needs for
fire and emergency medical services. It is in the communitys best interest to
informally bring the business principals together to explore common ground
before committing thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands more taxpayer
dollars. MJ

Into The Wild

Blue yonder
What a privilege to have these men
gathered to share a bit of history. For
those who missed the Bomber Boys
but are interested in a good account of
bombers, their crews and their life in
WWII, the book by Stephen Ambrose
The Wild Blue: The Men and Boys Who
Flew the B-24 Over Germany 1944-45
is a good and detailed account from
cadet status through mission status.
When I was young, the pilots and
aircrews of WWII were our heroes
(they still are). In grammar school
we drank deeply from all discussions
and sources relating to these men and
the few women who supported them
as air transport and shuttle pilots.
We discussed gremlins, and many of
us had the Disney version of Roald
Dahls book on the subject, of which I
have a copy. During the war, we lived
high up in Mission Canyon. To our
excitement, our immediate neighbor
was an instructor at the Marine air-
base in Goleta.
To allow parents some relief, the
few neighbors we had agreed that on
some weekends a single parent would
collect all the kids (not really many
of us as the houses were sparsely set
into the background) and thus give
the rest some peace and quiet. Captain
Seiner would load us into the back of
his old station wagon, drive to the air-
field, dump us out among the parked
planes sequestered for repair, and go
do paperwork, from which vantage
point he could watch us. I remember
these aircraft as big, dark blue, and
with checkered cowlings. The pave-
ment below them was covered with
spent giant shotgun shells that were
used to start the engines. If you were
very lucky, there might be a fresh one.
These would be taken away from us;
we did not understand why. These
were for the Coffman engine starters
(also known as shotgun starters).
If you saw Jimmy Stewart in Flight of
the Phoenix, you will remember these
being used.

Changing Climates
Sirs: Your late March, early April
letters continuing the climate change
controversies reveal the extent of mis-
information and confusion about the
subject. I published a novel in late
2010 A Truthful Myth to dramatize
the extremes, and presented the story
at Tecolote Book Shop in March 2011.
Its main point is that science is never
done, and with radio and TV appear-
ances and many letters to the con-
fused politicians, I continue to stress
the need for RAMP. More and better
Research; new ways to better Adapt
to the ever changing climate; more
economic ways to Mitigate against
any established man-made influence;
and advancement in our programs
to Prepare for both natural and man-
made disasters.
It is interesting that there is no
firm scientific evidence that manmade
global warming is contributing to
weather extremes: only speculation.
It is also interesting that 98% of the
worlds climatologists do not believe
the slight warming trend since the
Industrial Revolution (with its period-
ic ups and downs) is primarily caused
by man burning fossil fuels, but rather
that 98% simply agree there has been
a net warming on a global average.
Mans influence versus natural varia-
tion still need close examination in a
field of science that is just about the
most complex as one can imagine.
And predictions about the future are
worthless the climate models are
only valuable in informing us of all
the factors involved and a broad range
of possibilities. More facts please.
Roger Colley
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: It is interesting to note
that you claim 98% of the worlds cli-
matologists agree there has been a net
warming on a global average, but many
are unsure how much of that warming if
any is a result of mans burning of fossil
fuels. We wonder if True Believers under-
stand that. J.B.)
Citizen Servants
Needed
There has always been corruption in
Congress and the executive branch of
our government, but it has been fairly
minor and under control compared to
other governments in the world, and I
have never worried about this corrup-
tion as it existed destroying or radi-
cally changing America. Over the last
20 years, however, this belief is rap-
idly being challenged in a bad way.
This was abruptly thrown in my face
a few days ago when Congress passed
and the president signed a new law
drastically watering down or prob-
ably gutting the law it passed about
a year ago banning insider trading
by members of the Congress, Senate,
and I believe the executive branch.
About a year ago this law was passed
with much fanfare, but the repeal
was basically done under the table
with the complicit non-reporting of
the mainstream media, which, in my
opinion, has also become corrupted.
When this country was founded
most people entered government as
George Washington did for a short
time believing it was their civic duty.
Now it has become a lifelong profes-
sion and very profitable. It is inter-
esting to look at the balance sheet
of citizens entering either the Senate
or Congress, and then look at their
balance sheets after 10 or 20 years in
government service; one will find that
a majority have become rich on gov-
ernment salaries. This is not logical
with the salaries members of Congress
are paid.
Maybe worse than the actions
of those in the executive branch,
Congress, and the Senate, is the acqui-
escence of U.S. citizens who, as long
as their congressional representative
or senator or president gives them
the gravy they want, believe all is
hunky-dory. If citizens became more
outraged by dishonesty in our gov-
ernment, our elected officials couldnt
get away with this. But, even though
the approval rating of Congress is
somewhere around 6 to 15%, nearly
97% of Representatives and Senators
are reelected.
It is easy to understand the actions
of people in government for they are
simply motivated by greed, money
and power, all of which are addictive,
so they have an excuse. But, why do
citizens believe its okay when they
are destroying this wonderful country
for their kids and grandkids? If the
citizens of this country want to stop
this corruption they can, but they
have to voice their objections loudly
and often. The House, the Senate and
the executive branch now live mostly
under a different set of laws and mor-
als than the rest of the citizens of this
great country.
The House, the Senate and the presi-
dent are now treated as royalty, and
above the law. At the same time they
believe they are above the law, and
act accordingly. Once this psychology
takes hold, historically, a society is
in for serious problems and troubled
times.

Act Now!
If It Saves One Life, Its Worth It
Oh Really?
About 40,000 lives are lost each year
from preventable accidents.
Congress should take immediate
steps to do something, anything, to
reduce these tragic losses. Im not
referring to firearms, but automobiles.
The following proposals may seem
expensive, outrageous or inconve-
nient, but even Mayor Bloomberg
supporters must agree that if only one
life is saved by any of these suggestions,
it will be worth it.
Drunk drivers kill!
Time and technology have given
us the opportunity to reverse the
slaughter now occurring on our
highways. For less than $300 per
vehicle, breath-activated ignition
systems could be installed in all vehi-
cles. These devices are effective and
already help to prevent convicted
drunk drivers from starting their
vehicles. Why must society wait until
lengthy trial and conviction makes
the roads safer? Every driver may
not be an alcoholic, but everyone is a
potential drunk driver or prescrip-
tion-drug abuser.

A

fancy turns to love.
Lets stay right here in each

That would be great, Dear, except
your parents are due home any minute
now and us being naked on their couch
in broad daylight might be a bit of a
shocker.
Good point.
Ah, and a few springtimes later,
when a middle-age guys fancy returns
to love.
Lets stay right here in each others

were babysitting the grandkids today
and us being naked on the office desk
when they get here might be a bit of a
shocker.
Good point.
And now, here we are, springtime
once again when a guy who has no
idea how the hell old he is finds him-
self...
What in the world are you doing
out here on the patio? my wife asked.
Ah, just pruning my bonsais.
Why the heck are you naked?
I dunno, because its Spring?
We both glanced at the patio table,
then my wife quickly said: You might
want to put on some clothes before
Mario gets here.
Mario is a gardener, handyman, and
all-around good guy. He built my bonsai
shelves, planted some Japanese Maples
for me, and put down our patio stones
that weigh about a million pounds each.
Now, I had yet another bonsai-related
project to talk to him about.
I know, youre probably wondering
why a guy with such active spring-
times has now turned to gardening for
enjoyment. Me too. I mean, my only
gardening goal when I was a kid was
trying not to be around when my old
man needed help planting or weeding
or watering or picking.
Wheres Ernie? Hes supposed to
help me stake up the beans today.
Said he had to go to school early.
Its Saturday.
Huh, wonder if he realized that?
I also had very little love of trees
when I was younger, especially the
kind that lost their leaves.
Wheres Ernie. Hes supposed
to rake the front yard today?
Said he had choir practice.
We dont even belong to a church.
Huh, wonder if he realized that?
But life is full of roads less traveled
leading us to places we never imag-
ined. Like me becoming a writer for
instance. I cant fathom me bringing
that up to my teenage friends back in
my hometown.
Whatre you guys gonna to do
when you graduate?
Work at the plant.
Work at the plant.
Work at the plant.
Become a humor writer, exploring
and expounding upon the lighthearted
curiosities of everyday life.
What?
Work at the plant.
Right.
For that matter, sometimes its hard
for me to comprehend that I traveled
the complete width of the country and
now live in beautiful Santa Barbara.
Wherere you guys gonna live when
you graduate?
In a doublewide in my parents
backyard.
backyard.
backyard.
In a condo in Southern California,
where the morning doves sing while
perched upon aromatic bougainvillea
plants.
What?
backyard.
Right.
But time moves on, and besides love
spring also means longer and warmer
days, and too much direct sunlight
is not good for my bonsais, so I was
going to talk with Mario about maybe
hanging some shade netting over my
little trees to protect them.
My wife came back out onto the
patio. Mario cant make it. Hes hung
up on a gardening project across town.
Okay, guess Ill just prune for a
while.
My wife cleaned off the patio table
and put down a small bottle.
Whats that?
Sunscreen, she said, kicking one of
her shoes over the patio wall.
So nobody is coming over? I asked.
Nope, she whispered, sending the
other shoe flying.
Ah yes, I do fancy spring. MJ
Banning booze may not have
been successful in the 1920s but the
arguments for a new-and-improved
Prohibition make more sense than
ever before. The economic and health-
care burdens foisted upon taxpayers
by big alcohol are no less danger-
ous or costly than lung cancer and
big-tobacco. Click-it-or-ticket
seems to be working to increase seat-
belt compliance, so why wouldnt
a Blow-Before-You-Go device also
work?
Ill bet you a hangover that getting
rid of alcohol in America will save
more lives than any assault weapon
ban.
Speed kills!
According to politicians who sup-
port drones over U.S .cities, technolo-
gy can solve any problem. Mandatory
speed control devices installed on
all vehicles could save tens of thou-
sands of lives. These devices would
be tamper proof and not available to
criminals trying to hijack your family
(I promise).
Whether driving through unpopu-
lated parts of the country or bumper-
to-bumper, satellites (and a well-paid
and heavily pensioned bureaucrat
behind a computer) will soon moni-
tor nationwide traffic flows, weather
conditions and accidents. With the
flip of a switch, all vehicles could be
prohibited from exceeding a certain
safe speed, say 65 mph or maybe
70 mph, or maybe 100 mph, depend-
ing upon how the computer operator
feels.
When the next fuel shortage and gas
rationing occurs, the national speed
limit could be instantly reset to 45
mph (or maybe 20 mph) and every-
one, would be forced to travel slow-
er, safer, and to conserve. Exemptions
would be granted to those driving
cars powered by natural gas, starlight,
dreams, or electricity; trains, some
busses, motorcycles and golf carts
would also be exempt from these dra-
conian speed-control devices, as well
as police cars, and vehicles driven by
intoxicated bureaucrats or members of
Congress.
Senility, Rage and Distraction kills!
Sobriety checkpoints may
be working, but is isnt enough.
According to experts, senility check-
points could save thousands of lives
annually if drivers were randomly
given a complete roadside stress
test. Professionally trained freeway-
psychiatrists would accompany
Highway Patrol officers to evaluate
risk factors of suspected speeding or
reckless drivers. These experts could
identify stressors and disabilities
(stroke, TIAs, senility, flu, pre-cancer-
ous skin lesions, indigestion, STDs,
etc.) that are known to cause accidents.
The best, least expensive way, to make
freeways safer is to get incompetent,
lost, suicidal, sick or angry drivers off
the road.
The legal term Under the Influence
should be expanded to include: a
harsh day at the office, spouse or
family problems, old age, bad enchi-
ladas, allergies, prescription medica-
tions, tight fitting underwear, fum-
bling with a cigarette, drinking a
soda, or trying to eat a collapsing
cheeseburger.
How can drivers hear an approach-
ing fire engine or ambulance if the
car radio-stereo volume is too high?
Who hasnt been distracted while
reading roadside advertisements,
arguing with fellow passengers (or
children screaming) or listening to
a nagging back-seat driver? These
examples may sound ridiculous, but
all have been linked to vehicular
fatalities and must be regulated out
of existence.
If only one life could be saved,
wouldnt it be worth the extra time,
expense and inconvenience of a ran-
dom, but complete physical and
mental roadside evaluation? Getting
drunk, stressed, raging, munching,
chattering, opinionated, senile and
distracted drivers off the road could
save one or more innocent lives a
lot more.
Insufficient head protection kills!
Motorcyclists, whether they like it
or not, are safer with helmets. So,
regardless of the number of wheels,
wouldnt everyone be safer wearing
a brain bucket? In the 1980s, helmet
laws were enacted on the premise that
reducing the number of head inju-
ries would reduce the public expense
for medical care. Has anyone done
a follow-up study to confirm this
theory? Oh well, it doesnt matter
because mandatory motorcycle hel-
mets sounds like it will save lives,
so its worth it. Who needs science or
data if it feels good?
Air bags and seat belts are mere-
ly the first step in a long journey
towards total transportation safety. If
a national Mandatory Helmet Law for
passengers and drivers could prevent
only one crushed skull or paralyzed
limb, it would be worth a few messed-
up hairdos, uncomfortable tantrum-
thrashing children, stiff necks or
sweaty ears.
When lawmakers and safety-advo-
cates are really interested in prevent-
ing the loss of human life or get-
ting the most efficient use of taxpayer
money, their focus will be on pre-
venting death and destruction from
assault automobiles and lethally
distracted drivers, not just firearms.

Coming & Going

Monty Pythons Spamalot
S
pamalot is indeed (lovingly)
ripped off from the motion pic-
ture Monty Python and the Holy
Grail, as its publicity proclaims, but
it also cribs unapologetically from
Life Of Brian and other Python cre-
ations. No matter; its all good. In
fact, from what I saw at the casts first
dress rehearsal, its all very, very good
indeed.
Spamalot is a ridiculously clever
stage musical replete with ensembles
of powerful voices singing hummable
tunes, along with salacious humor
(dont worry; the younger kids wont
get the dirty jokes), slapstick rumi-
nations, taunting (and trs effete)
Frenchmen (and women), elaborate
costumes, and frenetic pacing in a
most satisfying and guffaw-inducing
package of Python humor.
That aforementioned frenetic
pacing is thanks to the profession-
ally fine-tuned direction of SBHSs
Performing Arts Department Chair
Otto Layman. Mike Maddens inge-
niously clever set and dramatic
lighting, UCSB Professor Christina
McCarthys precise choreography,
and Lise Langes untiringly creative
costumes all make for a superior eve-
ning of theater fun. And, thats before
we consider the smooth musicality of
the UCSB Jazz Band, as directed by
Jon Nathan.
Many of Spamalots cast members
were also in what I consider one of
the most enjoyable stage plays in
memory, high-school or otherwise:
last years The Drowsy Chaperone. If,
for example, a play featured Emilio
Madrid singing his side-splitting ren-
dition of Adolpho (from The Drowsy
Chaperone) I would attend every per-
formance. Emilio is back and plays the
peasant Dennis who becomes Sir
Galahad and displays the same kind
of comic timing and subtle irrever-
ence. Laconic and sly Clayton Barry
carries the cocoanuts, and frequently
King Arthur, played by the multi-tal-
ented Jordan Lemmond, when called
upon. Mary Cusimanos authoritative
(yet surprisingly mellifluous) voice as
King Arthur (Jordan Lemmond) and his trusty steed (Clayton Barry) set off in search of the Holy Grail in
the SBHS production of Monty Pythons Spamalot

O
n September 30, 1981, an inves-
tor who put $100,000 into a
10-year treasury bond could
expect an annual interest payment of
$15,810, or an all-time record high yield
of 15.81 percent. Over its 10-year life,
the investment would earn $158,100.
On July 25, 2012, an investor who put
$100,000 into a 10-year treasury bond
could expect an annual interest pay-
ment of $1,430, or an all-time record
low yield of 1.43 percent. Total interest
earned over the bonds 10-life would
be $14,300.
Times sure have changed. The 2012
investor could expect to earn less over
the 10 years of the bonds life than the
1981 investor would have earned in
just one year.
Since 1981, the bond market has
offered good rates of return with lit-
tle risk or surprise. Bond investors
enjoyed a 30-year bull run. However,
Im sorry to say, the bond-market bull
market is pretty much dead.
The basic rule of investing in bonds
is when the overall level of interest
rates falls, bond prices rise. On the
other hand, when interest rates rise,
bond prices fall. Since 1981, interest
rates generally have been dropping,
allowing bond investors to fall asleep
at the investment wheel.
But with interest rates at historic
lows, many experts are warning about
an imminent bond crash.
What is the likelihood your bond
investments will lose value? Duration,
a numerical value measured in years,
can precisely identify the potential
downside.
Duration can tell you how much
your bond portfolio will fluctuate
when interest rates move up or down.
You will want to determine the dura-
tion of your bond portfolio so you can
understand what can happen to the
value of your bond portfolio before
significant moves in interest rates.
Knowing the duration of your bonds
helps to mitigate surprises in your
investment portfolio. Investors do not
like surprises.
Finding the duration of your bond
portfolio is relatively easy. If you own
a bond fund, you should be able to find
the duration within the statistical infor-
mation of that particular fund found
on the mutual fund companys web-
site. If you employ a bond manager,
simply ask them. If you manage your
own bonds, you can crudely calculate
duration by averaging the years to
maturity of all your bonds.
Lets analyze the Pimco Total Return
Fund, a $288 billion fund primarily
invested in investment-grade interme-
diate bonds. At Pimcos website, you
can view information and statistics,
including the duration, for individu-
al funds. The Total Return Fund, for
example, has a duration of 4.5.
Here is how we use this number. For
every 1 percent change in interest rates,
the value of this bond fund will go up
or down 4.5 percent (equal to the dura-
tion number).
For instance, the current yield on the
10-year treasury bond is 1.8 percent. If
we wake up tomorrow and the 10-year
yield has risen to 2.8 percent, the value
of The Total Return Fund will have
fallen 4.5 percent. Your $100,000 invest-
ment will now be worth $95,500. If we
awake to find the 10-year treasury at
4.8 percent, your investment will fall
by 13.5 percent.
The historic yield on the 10-year trea-
sury note is approximately 6 percent,
more than 4 percent higher than today.
From the table above, you can see that
if interest rates simply return to his-
toric averages, a bond portfolio with a
duration of 10 could suffer a decline of
nearly 50 percent.
That would be a crash.
Many in the financial media now
are talking about a bond bubble and
warning that bond prices could col-
lapse. In fact, the brokerage industrys
chief regulator, the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, recently issued
an investor alert about significant
drops in bond prices in the event inter-
est rates rise.
Do you know the duration of your
bond portfolio?
Successful investors understand the
risks in their portfolios, which enable
them to navigate difficult markets
with confidence. With interest rates at
historical lows, bond investors could
be facing very significant declines in
portfolio value in the near future. If
duration is managed correctly, these
potential declines can be mitigated. MJ
Knowing the duration of your
bonds helps to mitigate surprises
in your investment portfolio.

She was admitted to the hospital for
the last time in November, 2001, and
passed away two months later.
As Carrie fought her illness, mother
and daughter continued to work on a
play called Hollywood Arms, based on
Carols memoir One More Time.
But when the cancerous tumors had
spread, Carol wrote in her diary on
January 3, 2002: Carrie doesnt know.
I dont want her to know. Shes still
hoping the tumors will shrink. I cant
lose my baby. Please no, please NO!
God are you there?
In her touching memoir, Carol writes
that the script she had started with her
daughter gave her the strength to get
out of bed.
Carries ashes were scattered at
Westwood Village Memorial Park
Cemetery in Los Angeles and under
her favorite tree on a mountain she
loved close to Gunnison, Colorado.
You never get over it, but Ive
learned to cope, says Carol. You
have no other choice.
Caf Del Sol Update
Santa Barbara property developer
Rick Sanders, who has bought the site
of the popular eatery, Caf Del Sol, for
$1,350,000, as I revealed exclusively in
this illustrious organ, says he has no
current plans for the property near the
Andree Clark Bird Refuge.
I was attracted to the space and
location, and it is purely a long-term
investment for me, he says.
In the meantime, the restaurants
longtime owners, Jack and Emilie
Sears, will continue business as usual
for the next two years or more until
their lease ends.
Ive lived in Santa Barbara all my
life and have gone to Caf Del Sol
many times, says Sanders. Its a
great spot.
Newest Tome from Laird
Having visited Japan 14 times in the
past 50 years, it is not surprising that
Santa Barbara author Laird Koenig
has used the country as the back-
ground for his ninth book, Morning
Sun: The Story of Madam Butterflys Boy.
It takes up Madame Butterflys
story from the Puccini opera after she
kills herself and her son comes back
and falls in love with a Japanese girl,
the daughter of a thug industrialist,
says Laird, He is sent to the U.S. in
1923 and falls in love with a Jazz Age
girl, but has a wife and two children
back in Japan.
Laird, who says he is totally enam-
ored with Japanese life, last visited
the country in 2007 and hopes to get
back again in due course.
In the meantime, he is finishing his
tenth book, Nefertiti, The Artist and the
Lonely God.
His previous eight novels have all
been sold as films and his first, The
Children Are Watching, won Frances
coveted Grand Prix de Literature and
was filmed in France, produced by
and starring Alain Delon.
His second, The Little Girl Who Lives
Down The Lane, became a best seller in
15 languages, with Jodie Foster play-
ing the principal role in the award-
winning movie.
His third novel, The Neighbor, was
filmed as a feature twice!
Another, Rockabye, scored one of
TVs biggest dramatic hits on CBS
with Valerie Bertinelli helping place
it in the top ten highest rated TV mov-
ies for a six year period.
Fourteen movie credits have seen
Laurence Olivier, Audrey Hepburn,
James Mason, Romy Schneider, Rod
Steiger, Jacqueline Bisset and dozens
of other stars uttering my words,
says Laird, who has also produced six
plays during his career.
A busy man with a real yen for
words...

Welcome Back, Saima
A
few weeks ago as I went to
pick up my mail at the Coast
Village Road UPS Store, a huge
smile came over my face when I saw
past manager Saima Bari. Within a
few minutes, the joy was also shared
by other customers, like Don Burg and
Jill Vacaro, when she replied that she
is now back at the store from a two-
year hiatus working at the Hollywood
UPS Store. Cris Quinnell, owner of
the UPS Store on Coast Village Road,
added, I couldnt be more pleased
to have Saima return as manager of
the store. We have been serving the
Montecito community for over almost
thirty years and having Saima back at
the helm is truly the icing on the cake.
She has over ten years of experience in
The UPS Store business and a wealth
of knowledge about all of our servic-
es. Saima agreed to be interviewed as
part of an Our Town welcome home:
Q. Tell us about yourself and your
career path leading up to UPS Store
Manager.
A. In the Bay Area, I went to Diablo
Valley College and after the first year
decided to study abroad through one
of the programs they offered. I attend-
ed University of London for a semes-
ter, when I came back to the States,
I went to Santa Barbara to visit a
friend and celebrate my birthday and
instantly knew I had to move there. I
attended SBCC in the fall and finished
with my AA. Took some business
courses on the side as well.
How did you decide on working at
UPS?
I started out at the UPS Store, by
needing a part-time job while I was
going to school for some extra money.
My friend that lived next door to me
worked at the UPS Store downtown
and said that they were looking for
some help and that I should apply. At
first I was put off on the idea because
I thought it was a guys job, and he
said, no its really not, you should
apply. So I went in and applied and
got hired on the spot from my cur-
rent boss and owner of the store, Cris
Quinnell. As of today I have been
working with the UPS Store for ten
years and with Cris, eight years. I
moved to Santa Monica to experience
the city life and worked at the UPS
Store in Hollywood for two years
and now Im back and so happy! I
have managed the Montecito store for
about six years.
How does it feel to be back here among
your fans?
It feels good to be back home, where
its peaceful, mellow, and everyone
knows your name. Ive always had a
great relationship with Cris over the
years and we talked often; I had told
her that I was thinking about coming
back to Santa Barbara and she was
overjoyed and without a doubt in her
mind she wanted me back. I am so
happy to be back, and I have a great
staff who are extremely knowledge-
able and friendly. The day I came
back to the UPS Store in Montecito,
it was so nice to see familiar faces,
old friends and the best customers in
town. It felt great to know how many
people were so excited to see me and
to know that I was back!
Ambassador Ordway
Visits Laguna Blanca
Lower School
As part of their Global Studies
Program, American Diplomacy:
Facing Global Challenges Past,
Present & Future, students at Laguna
Blanca School Lower & Upper Schools
received an inside look at American
diplomacy, foreign relations and the
role of the Foreign Service Officer
and embassy during a three-day sym-
posium with three U.S. Ambassador
guest speakers. Laguna Blanca initi-
ated this program last year to edu-
cate students on the challenges and
responsibilities they face as global citi-
zens. Most Americans have no idea
of the complex duties of diplomats.
We are extraordinarily privileged to
have three Ambassadors and an offi-
cer from the joint state and commerce
department to give our students a
firsthand look at diplomacy and for-
eign relations, said Upper School
history teacher Martha Elliott, who
also coordinates the Laguna Global
Studies Program.
Keynote speaker Ambassador
John Ordway visited the Lower
School campus on Thursday, April
18. Arriving in the third grade class-
room, he was greeted by the students
with a welcome note on the classroom
white board surrounded by hand
drawn hearts and exclamation points.
Prior to his visit, each student had to
research what the word ambassador
means and design three questions to
ask him about his work. The kids sat
in a circle on the classroom floor rug,
which has a globe in its center and is
surrounded by various world sym-
bols. The overhead projector showed
a current map of the countries he
worked in as Ambassador.
Questions from the students includ-
ed where he worked and for how long
in each location, what problems he
solved and the most important thing
he did as an Ambassador. He replied
that most assignments were from two
to four years, with visits home to the
U.S. to see his family. Key assignments
he worked on included getting equip-
ment to our troops in Afghanistan
through a new route and negotiat-
ing the agreements to do so in each
country that agreed to allow it and his
work on African Affairs, specifically
with convincing the Cubans to leave
Angola and South African indepen-
dence in Libya during the Apartheid
era.
Following the presentation to the
students, Ambassador Ordway told
me that he is officially retired from
his position as a Foreign Service
Officer, lives in Sacramento, and is
on call for various security needs
as they arise. He enjoys sharing his
lifes work with children and answer-
ing their questions about this impor-
tant position for our government and
U.S. citizens. A native Californian, he
graduated from Stanford University
and the University of Californias
Hastings College of Law before enter-
ing the Foreign Service in 1975. His
unique path to Ambassador includes:
Director of African Affairs at the
National Security Council during the
first Bush Administration, as well as
Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S.
Embassy in Moscow from 1999-2001,
Ambassador to Kazakhstan (2004 -
2008) and to Armenia (2001 - 2004)
and Commissioner to the U.S.-Russian
Bilateral Consultative Commission
under the New START Treaty
(Strategic Arms Regulations Treaty).
Laguna Blanca teachers Chelsea
Miro (third grade) and Lisa Gilmore
(fourth grade) wrote a global studies
curriculum for grades 3-6. Lisa said,
The students are currently studying
borders and how countries manage
border issues, so we arranged for
Ambassador Ordway to come and
speak on the topic, as well as the
importance of learning foreign lan-
guages, and what it is like for his chil-
dren to live in other countries. The
teachers shared the background of the
program:
Q. When and why did you begin a
global studies program at Laguna Blanca
Lower School and what are the learning
objectives for the kids?
Lisa and Chelsea: As world travel-
ers and global thinkers, we are pas-
sionate about educating young minds
to be both aware and able to critically
engage with the world around them.
Our main objective is to prepare them
to be successful leaders and contribu-
tors in a world that we cannot yet
imagine. The best way to prepare
them for this is to give them a solid
foundation in the cultures, histories
and politics of all the worlds people.
That is the driving mission of our
program and what fueled our desire
to create an innovative, unique and
interdisciplinary global studies pro-
gram. We were able to develop this
program as a result of a grant the

school received for a global studies
curriculum. We submitted a proposal
to the school, which was accepted.
We developed the curriculum over
the summer of 2012 and began imple-
menting it in third and fourth grade in
the fall of 2012. Above all, the goal of
this curriculum is to open up a world
of curiosity, wonder and action in the
lives of students beyond the class-
room. This curriculum is based on
extensive research into various social
studies, history and global initiatives
across the country, as well as interna-
tionally.
What is the focus of the program, and is
it part of the year curriculum?
The program is developed to be
a supplement to our social studies
curriculum and runs the full school
year. The development was guided by
central enduring understandings and
essential questions. We broke it down
into six main components: Culture,
Arts and Food; Politics and History;
Connections and Relationships; Earth
Art (Geography); Rhetoric; and year-
long projects. The skills and concepts
included in the program build on each
other through the years of engage-
ment in order to systematically build
knowledge.
Is the Ambassador the culmination of
the program, and what other learning
tools do you use?
The Ambassadors visit is through
Martha Elliots Global Studies
Symposium. When the school
received the grant for the program we
developed they also received one for
a program in the middle and upper
school to focus on a central, globally
minded theme and create a two-day
symposium around it. We arranged
with Martha to have him come spend
time with our second, third and fourth
graders as a highlight to the global
studies work we are doing in class. MJ

Battle Debuts With a Bang
The Arlington Theatre was jammed
to the rafters when New Yorks leg-
endary Alvin Ailey American Dance
Theater, under new artistic director
Robert Battle, staged two different
performances under the UCSB Arts
& Lectures banner, both of them sell
outs.
I caught the matinee show, which
featured four scintillating and color-
ful works, including From Before,
a pulsating piece with a tribal beat,
Strange Humors, a dynamic duet,
and the newest work Another Night,
a sultry performance with shades of
West Side Story, choreographed by
Kyle Abraham and danced to Dizzy
Gillespies A Night In Tunisia.
The program wrapped with the 1960
original Ailey work Revelations, a
series of dances set to traditional gos-
pel songs, ending with the endlessly
catchy Rocka My Soul in the Bosom
of Abraham.
Earlier, Montecito twosome Robert
and Margo Feinberg hosted a
Biltmore-catered bash at their estate
for the 55-year-old company that has
performed in 71 countries on six con-
tinents, with guests including Scott
Reed, Music Academy of the West
president, Christopher Pilafian, artis-
tic director of Santa Barbara Dance
Theater, Julie McLeod, founder of
Dance Warehouse, and Celesta Billeci,
Miller McCune executive director of
the A&L series....
Scientific Soire at Solana
Bill and Sandi Nicholson hosted a
reception at their stunning Montecito
aerie, Solana, for scientists and doc-
tors of the groundbreaking Van Andel
Institute in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The institute was founded in 1996
by Jay and Betty Van Andel for dis-
ease research and science education,
and is now headed by their son,
David, who attended the bash with
his wife, Carol, and doctors Giselle
Sholler, who deals with childhood
cancer, Patrik Brundin, a specialist in
neuro-degenerative diseases, and Jeff
MacKeigan, an expert in microbiol-
ogy and immunology.
More than 50 laboratories from
Shanghai to Singapore, including a
collaboration with the Scripps Clinic
in La Jolla, are currently studying
genetic, cellular and molecular origins
of such diseases as cancer, Parkinsons
disease and Alzheimers.
We intend to double that number
in due course, David told guests,
including Rob Lowe, Cheryl Ladd,
Jelinda DeVorzon, Corinna Gordon,
Charles Ward, Frank Goss, Bilo Zarif,
Carolyn Amory and Robyn Geddes.
We get to accelerate discovery with
new drugs and new theories.
We didnt want to accept business
as usual. We knew we wouldnt be the
biggest, but we wanted to be the best...
We want results! In the last five years
there have been more results in medi-
cal research than any time in history.
Great news and, one trusts, more to
come...
Hard Hats & High Heels
Habitat for Humanity of Southern
Santa Barbara County hosted its first-
ever Hard Hats & High Heels gala to
support the Building Homes, Building
Hope campaign for the Canon Perdido
Affordable Homes project at the El
Encanto, the first non-profit event to
be held since the ritzy hostelry re-
opened a month ago.
The project, which started in
December, is a 12-home development
which will provide safe and afford-
able housing for 43 people, including
20 children.
The 170-guest event, co-hosted by
Jennifer Guess and Ralph Iannelli,
hoped to raise $150,000, with Ralph
and Janet Garufis conducting the
auction which enabled bidders to
purchase individual elements of the
homes.
Its a bit different from the norm,
given it offered attendees a unique
experience to build a home collabora-
tively, says Jennifer.
Among those adding their sup-
port were Mayor Helene Schneider,
Salud Carbajal, and Bill and Sandi
Nicholson...
Global Studies Reception
Laguna Blanca trustee Marina
Stephens and her gold executive hus-
band, Len Homeniuk, opened their
beautiful cliff top home for a dinner to
celebrate the schools second annual
Global Studies program, with former
U.S. ambassador to Kazakhstan and
Armenia John Ordway addressing the
50 guests.
Ordway, who also worked at embas-
sies in Austria, Bulgaria, Nepal and
the Czech Republic, was part of a
panel including Susan McCaw, for-
mer ambassador to Austria, and Susan
Elliott, ambassador to Tajikistan who
spoke live via Skype , addressing
ninth through 12th grade students, a
project originally started by history
teacher Martha Elliott, the envoys
sister.
Over three days, students at all
grade levels were taught about global
issues and got to meet ambassadors
and other Foreign Service officials....
Nothing But Bach
World renowned pianist Andras
Schiff performed an epic all-Bach
recital at the Lobero, the last CAMA
Masterseries event of the current sea-
son.
The Hungarian was in top form,
deftly playing Bachs English Suites
one through six a recording of which
garnered him one of his Grammys in
1990 , not to mention a number of
encores.
Having performed here as part
of the CAMA program a number of
times over the years, the sold-out
audience clearly knew what to expect
of the peripatetic keyboardist, who
now lives in London.
It was definitely Bach with bite!...
Bomber Boys
The ballroom at Fess Parkers
Doubletree suffered social grid-
lock when the Pierre Claeyssens
Veterans Museum and Library and
the Channel City Club hosted a lunch
for 400 guests for The Bomber Boys of
World War II.
The boys in question were Jack
Patterson, Bob Scott, Jim Patillo and
Mr. Santa Barbara Larry Crandell,
who all related their experiences
from 70 years ago, in a question
and answer session moderated by
Col. Phil Conran, who served in the
U.S. Air Force for 35 years, including
Vietnam.
All of the participants played down
their heroism in their battles, be they
the air war in Europe or the island-
hopping campaigns over the Pacific,
although only the army ground forces
suffered more battle deaths than the
army air forces.
Larry, who celebrated his 90th birth-
day earlier this month, was the only
bombardier and navigator of the quar-
tet and well remembers his 20th mis-
sion, when his unit flew to Vienna,
Austria, the heart of Hitlers Third
Reich.
His B-24 sustained major damage
from ground fire and they had to ditch
in the Adriatic Sea rather than return
to base in southern Italy.
But the planes crew of ten all man-
aged to escape before it sank into the
murky depths.
For his action, Larry, who flew 35
missions, received the Purple Heart.
I started to give my acceptance
speech and they left the room, he
quipped, ever the joker...

Gold Rush Gala
Santa Barbara Choral Society cel-
ebrated its 65th season with a Gold
Rush gala at the Carriage & Western
Art Museum, attracting 200 guests
in cowboy garb and raising around
$20,000 for the musical group.
The bash, co-chaired by Marylove
Thralls, Mikki Andina and Mary Dan
Eades, featured a folk operetta Down
in the Valley by composer Kurt Weill,
who penned The Threepenny Opera,
which featured the song Mack the
Knife.
Conducted by JoAnne Wasserman,
who just celebrated 20 years as
musical director, the cast featured
Benjamin Brecher, Tamara Bevard,
Tony DeMartino, Ralph Cato and
John Revheim. Bob Lally was the
narrator with David Potter on piano.
Steve Murphy, a host on KDB
radio, acted as auctioneer with trips to
Hawaii, San Francisco and an antique
Tiffany bangle among the items up for
grabs. John Lynn and Jim Robbins
were emcees.

Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestras
penultimate concert of its 34th sea-
son focused on Romantic Germans,
with works from Mendelssohn and
Brahms.
Conductor Heiichiro Ohyama was
in vigorous form, almost jumping off
the podium, as he took his talented
musicians through their paces, kick-
ing off with Mendelssohns Scottish
Symphony No. 3 in A minor, which the
Santa Barbara Symphony also played
in their first New Years concert.
Brahms fiendishly difficult
Violin Concerto in D Major with
Kyoko Takezawa was superb, with
Takezawas interpretive insight and
indisputable talent there for all to see.

14 Sweet 1700s features works by
Rossini, Schubert and Mozart, with
Italian Alessio Bax on piano...
Kase Klosed
After 536 days of bitter negotiations,
the ill-fated Montecito marriage of
reality TV star Kim Kardashian to pro
basketball player Kris Humphries is
finally over.
The legal imbroglio lasted five times
as long as the marriage itself, with
Kardashian, 32, announcing it was all
over just 72 days after the noisy con-
gested nuptials in our rarefied enclave
in August, 2011.
Humphries, 28, backed down after
no evidence of fraud perpetrated
by Kardashian emerged, according
to sources, and his legal costs were
mounting.
It has been a dirty, very public bat-
tle, with each camp going back and
forth with unseemly tales of betrayal
and deceit.
Kardashian is heavily pregnant by
her current beau, singer Kanye West,
with the baby expected in July.
Clearly, very good timing just three
months before the scheduled birth...
The Giving Tree
The Junior League of Santa Barbara
couldnt have had better weather
for its 6th annual literacy gala The
Giving Tree at the Coral Casino.
The event, which attracted 300
guests and raised around $75,000,
was co-chaired by Lisa Dobson and
Heather Childress, with the ubiqui-
tous Andrew Firestone as emcee.
Amber Ortiz, whose volun-
teerism includes working at Franklin
Elementary School as a mentor
through United Ways Fun in the Sun
program for low-income at-risk youth,
was honored as the leagues Woman
of the Year.
Guests basking in the evening
sunshine included Stacey Cooper,
Chrissy Deferville, Emmy Ennis,
Brittany Glasner, Caroline Rushing,
Ruth Schlitz, Tara Schonhoff, Cam
Gittler, Kelly Cornell-Weichbrod
and Angela Bolea...
Open For Business
The car park just a tiaras toss from
The Montecito Coffee Shop in the
Upper Village was positively heaving
when American Riviera Bank, chaired
by Larry Koppelman, opened its sec-
ond location to complement its long-
time downtown branch.
We have a considerable amount of
existing clients and shareholders who
live in Montecito and they have been
asking for years when we would open
a branch, says Jeff DeVine, CEO and
president of the bank.
The 1,500-sq-ft space in a Cape Cod-
style two story building allows the
bank, founded in 2006 by 400 local
shareholders, to broaden its custom-
er base and, hopefully, increase its
$170 million in assets, given the bank
deposit base in the area, which is esti-
mated at around $1 billion...
Rest in Peace
On a personal note, I remember Al

in Cocoa Beach, Florida at the age of
89, was a regular guest on the late
New York publisher Malcolm Forbes
yacht, The Highlander, and I would
often sit next to him at dinner parties
on the 151-ft green and gold vessel as
we sailed around Manhattan.
He had a long journalistic back-
ground as a reporter and editor for
nearly 50 years, and was a self-declared
dreamer and schemer who launched
USA Today in 1982 and helped it reach
a circulation of two million in the 90s
with its splashy color, bold graphics
and concise stories.
At one time he even offered me a
position on the newspaper, but I was
quite happy as an editor on the gossip
column of New York Magazine at the
time.
Neuharth was as colorful a char-
acter as his publication and will be
remembered as a newspaper publish-
ing legend, who made Gannett into
a communications colossus with 85
newspapers, 26 broadcast stations,
37,000 employees and a revenue over
$3 billion...

D
e la Tierra: Art of the Adobe,
the Santa Barbara Historical
Museums latest exhibition,
opened April 4 with a most fitting
party in the museums courtyard.
Composed of paintings by renowned
artists such as Alexander Harmer,
Oscar Rollo Peters, and Henry
Chapman Ford, the exhibit also fea-
tures historic photographs by such
experts in the field as J.Walter Collinge
and R.H. Reed.
Museum curator Daniel Calderon
credits the concept of the exhibition
to the beautiful images of adobes cre-
ated by Ludmilla Pilot Welch circa
1920. Given to the museum in 1980 by
Crocker Bank, the four works depict-
ing Santa Barbara adobes draw the
observer into an idyllic world.
A search of the museums collection
revealed that many of its works from
1885 to the 1920s are studies of the
areas various adobes. In many cases
these paintings are the only visual
historical record of these structures, as
many have vanished forever.
Daniel noted that these images are
not completely representational but
are seen through artistic eyes and
imbued with a beauty that hearkens
back to an illusory simpler time. And
each adobe is infused with a wealth of
stories, briefly explained next to the
work of art.
The exhibition was sponsored by
Helene and Jerry Beaver, Dorothy
and Ashleigh Brilliant, Evelyn E.
Sullivan, Marlene and Warren Miller
and Gold Sponsor John C. Woodward,
who also lent works in his possession
to the museum. Executive director
Douglas Diller was on hand to intro-
duce Daniel Calderon, who received
an enthusiastic applause.
The courtyard celebration for the
opening was in keeping with the
theme and included a cozy Cantina
serving wine and margaritas as well
as a grill where wonderfully spiced
carne, puerco y pollo was being bar-
bequed to fill tortillas for soft tacos.
The Historical Museum is also
involved with restoration of the

Museums courtyard
two adobes on their property. The
Covarrubias Adobe and the Historic
Adobe have been stripped of the shot-
crete (sprayed on cement) with which
they were preserved many years ago.
Apparently the cement trapped water
beneath it and many of the bricks,
especially near the foundation, have
crumbled. New adobe brick made of
the same percentage of straw, mud,
and sand as the original are replac-
ing those that have decomposed. The
Historic Adobe is also getting a new
roof and both are being evaluated for
structural soundness. When complete,
each of the adobes will eventually be
opened to the public; one as a hands-
on education center and the other as
an extension of the history museum
and gallery.
The Santa Barbara Historical
Museum is located at 136 E. De la
Guerra. It is open Tuesday through
Saturday 10 am-5 pm and Sunday 12-5

Taylor made Singer-songwriter Eric
Taylor is one of those Texas troubadours
whose songs are better known than he
is. Partial to anecdotal short storytelling,
Taylor is also a poet of song who has
recorded seven CDs in his own right, but
may have reached more listeners via his
Lone Star State colleagues Nanci Griffth
and Lyle Lovett, both of whom he met
when he booked them for coffeehouse
concerts on the Texas A&M campus and
who have also covered his material as
well as contributed to his most recent
release. Taylor has been playing since he
bought his frst guitar 50 years ago (for
$2.50) at age 13, and half a century later
has become not only a wise raconteur but
a mesmerizing performer. Getting to hear
him in a coffeehouse format at Trinity

Still Lonesome Rubicon Theatre Company
reprises its critically-acclaimed original
production of Lonesome Traveler, a concert-style
musical that almost literally takes audiences on a
journey down the rivers and streams of American
folk music. Spanning the birth of the genre in the
1920s through its heyday in the 1960s, the show
written and directed by Rubicons co-founding
artistic director James ONeil, with musical
direction by Trevor Wheetman culls songs from the hills of rural Appalachia to
the urban nightclubs of San Francisco and New York. The show is presented in the
style of a concert, performed by nine artists who create musical portraits inspired by
folk immortals such as Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, The Carter
Family, Lead Belly, Cisco Houston, The Weavers, The Kingston Trio, Peter Paul & Mary
and others whose music not only infuenced American music but also changed the
country itself. Among the cast members all of whom play multiple instruments and
sing are Broadway veterans Jennifer Leigh Warren (Big River and Little Shop of
Horrors) and Anthony Manough (The Lion King and Jesus Christ Superstar), and
L.A.-based singer-songwriters Justine Bennett and Brendan (B. Willing) James,
who are both mainstays in the Ventura music community and regular performers at
Zoeys Caf. Most of the songs from the shows premiere in spring 2011 return along
with a few additions, including Turn, Turn, Turn and The Wabash Cannonball.

very long, especially when the individual
members get offers for lots of other gigs. But
its 20-year history with virtually no personnel
changes is just one of the appeals of the
Tierney Sutton Band. The main one, of
course and one of the biggest reasons for
the groups longevity is the singer herself.
Sutton is not just an astonishingly gifted
vocalist but an ambitious and adventurous
arranger who then offers even more treasures
in her truly stunning live interpretations
of the marvelous material, drawn from
the Great American Songbook, modern
composers and originals from the band
itself. A Tierney Sutton concert often fnds
observers shaking their heads in wonder
and her unusual way with a song and her
great skill at going wherever her muse
takes her. The fve-time Grammy-nominated
singer has lately also been working in an
intimate trio format with futist Hubert
Laws and guitarist Larry Koonse (they
played two shows at the Lobero in recent
years), and has also collaborated with the
Turtle Island String Quartet in anticipation
of future recordings and tours (please make
sure Santa Barbara is on the itinerary!)
And shes showed up at SOhO several
times to sit in for a few numbers with Chris
Waldens Big Band. But its her old mates
pianist Christian Jacobs, drummer Ray
Brinker and bassists Kevin Axt and
Trey Henry that provide that safe but
ever-changing container that allows Sutton
to shine her brightest. A show with them at
SOhO is something special indeed. WHEN:

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.
O
pera Santa Barbara winds up
its season with a third popu-
lar piece in a row: Donizettis
delightful devious tale Don Pasquale.
Artistic director Jose Maria Condemi
not only stages the comic masterpiece
in the process updating it from
19th century Italy to 20th century
New York he also engaged veteran
Metropolitan Opera bass-baritone
Philip Cokorinos to portray the title
role, with tenor Javier Abreu and
soprano Zulimar Lpez-Hernndez
playing the young lovers Ernesto and
Norina, who conspire to deceive the
Don and gain his inheritance.
Pasquale also marks the OSB
debut of conductor Francesco Milioto,
who has served on the music staff of
LA Opera, Chicago Opera Theater,
and the Ravinia Festival assisting con-
ductors including James Conlon and
Daniel Barenboim. He is cofounder of
the New Millennium Orchestra, music
director for the Chicago Cultural
Center Summer Opera, artistic direc-
tor of Access Contemporary Music,
and a regular guest conductor with
Virginias Opera on the James.
We spoke with Milioto about his
approach to the well-known work.
Q. Don Pasquale is Donizettis sixty-
fourth opera, and the last of his comedic
masterpieces. Did he save the best for
last?
A. Yeah, I think he did. What he
does musically is remarkable. He uses
the standard rhythms and accompani-
ments, but the melodic lines and com-
edy he puts most notably into orches-
tration and melody itself, and the use
of rhythm, is quite incredible. It works
out very much as a complete piece.
Even the spacing, the words, the story
line fit perfectly into the music. You
cant imagine it going another way.
Its brilliantly synergized. He uses
the same themes to show the feelings
within the characters, like giving you
a dictionary to put your ears on that
he uses throughout the opera. Its all
built in and consistent, and yet some-
how unique. Its truly incredible.
I think you just explained what makes
the opera so enduring and relevant for
todays audiences.
That the simplicity can be so com-
plicated and so deep at the same
time. Even if you dont know any-
thing about music, when you see it,
feel it and hear it in the right way, it
makes you laugh, it pulls you deep
into the characters and you get it
completely. What makes it relevant
is the character of Nodina: shes the
perfect two-sided lady, not boring
at all. She can be warmhearted and
kind but also really get upset, and
if she gets mad youve got to watch
out. People can make mistakes, and
go too far, and pride can get in the
way. But in the end, it works out. You
really get the sense that and they
say so in the text the entire time you
understand that everything they do
is out of love for each other. Its the
beginning motive and the end result:
to be happy and make each other
happy. There is no dark evil side in
this opera. The undertone is always
love. That resonates and its always
relevant across time.
Much of your experience has been with
instrumental orchestras, from what I read.
Do you prefer instrumental to vocal or
vice-versa? And how does one affect the
other?
I dont think I could choose one or
the other. When Im at a symphony
Im thinking it would be fun to do
opera. And when Im conducting an
opera, and dealing with singers, Im
thinking how great it is to only have
to work with musicians Im very
appreciative that I started in opera,
playing piano for singers at univer-
sity. The approach from the vocal
experience makes for a good transi-
tion, because breathing and phrasing
are consistently on my mind, not just
the mechanics of the orchestra or the
techniques of playing. So going that
way has really helped me. I have a
much easier time switching back and
forth because I have that experience.
How much experience have you had
with Pasquale and how does this one
differ? How much research do you do
when a piece is as well-known as this?
I always go back to the text. Its the
first thing I do. My wife is a stage
director so I learned that from her
too. With an opera Ive coached many
times, I take the time to figure out what
I want to do with it. I look at it with
fresh eyes, and there are things I do dif-
ferently now that makes it hard to even
imagine how I did it before. I grow and
hear things with different, older, more
musically mature ears. So I can tailor it
to who the singers are and what they
need. Meaning: right now, this is the
musical truth in this opera.
Would you talk a bit about the casting,
not biographical but your approach to
working with the singers and how they
blend together? Interesting that both of
the young lovers are played by singers
from Puerto Rico.
It does give them an extra layer
of connection. It makes it that much
truer when people in real life really
like each other and understand each
other, and are friends. It makes a dif-
ference on stage when you have col-
leagues who are not only good singers
and can follow me, but who hit it off
and are good friends. Theres a level
of trust that you immediately have,
and it just gets stronger and stronger.
They have each others back, and can
instantly pick up on whatever they
need. Theres a really strong chemis-
try there. And I can really see it. And
it shows up in the performances.
What are the areas that are trickiest for
the singers, the ones you have to be most
careful about?
It hasnt been a big challenge
because I do have a solid idea of what
I would like to have happen. Its just
tailoring it to the singers. But its
always about not being bound by the
tradition specifically in the aria and
the serenade to make sure youre
not repeating what somebody else has
done. I know all the recordings of this
opera and I love them. But it needs to
be true to my musical sense and those
of the singers who are here. You never
want to do a silly repetition of whats
come before even if its beloved. I
have to approach the score fresh and
make sure were in the moment.

media show at the Lobero last month.
Nosky leads the Grammy-winning
period-instrument orchestra in its
shall we just say belated local
debut at UCSBs Campbell Hall
Wednesday night, May 1 and plays
the vivid solos in Vivaldis The Four
Seasons in a concert that also features
works by Corelli, Geminiani, Locatelli
and Avison. We caught up with the
young violinist superstar via email
last weekend.
Q. H&H has some serious history.
How does that legacy show up in todays
orchestra members?
A. We are absolutely aware of the
legacy of H&H and we are very proud
of it. I think the musicians feel that
membership in such a well-established
organization comes with responsibil-
ity as well as privilege. Being mem-
bers of the Handel and Haydn Society
enables us to share our artistry at the
highest level and with that comes
the responsibility of ensuring that we
are doing all we can to champion the
music of the 18th century to new audi-
ences. We have an illustrious past but
we are ever focused on the future.
Turning to the program here in Santa
Barbara, our own local symphony just
played Four Seasons last weekend. What
makes the work so enduring that it can
be played twice in one month in a small
town? And maybe Im acting as devils
advocate here, but why should someone
come hear it again if they went to that
concert, meaning, what does H&H bring
thats unique and compelling?
I will answer your second question
first. One of the things I love most
about performing works from the 18th
century Western Art Music tradition is
that there is almost always a very large
element of improvisation involved in
bringing the music to life. The major-
ity of the time, 18th century compos-
ers were writing down on paper a
very spare outline of what should
be played in a performance in terms
of actual notes. It was expected that
every performer would add their own
artistic voice to that spare outline
through ornaments which were often
imagined right on the spot. This holds
especially true for composers of that
time from Italy, like Vivaldi, Corelli
and Geminiani. You can compare their
style of composition very closely to
the jazz performing tradition of today.
What you get printed on the page is a
kind of set of musical guidelines from
the composer which you can then take
and make your own by fleshing out
the supplied rhythms and harmonies
with your own musical riffs.
So, while I am certain that the per-
formance of the Four Seasons at the
Santa Barbara Symphony was won-
derful, I can tell you that it will really
only resemble at a basic level the per-
formance which H&H will give of the
works. In fact, my performances of the
Four Seasons are likely to vary quite a
bit from night to night because I like
to try to be very spur-of-the-moment-
in my musical decision-making. Its
fun to be able to bring that element of
spontaneity to a performance.
(As to) why these concertos by
Vivaldi might be so enduring, the
concertos seem to have permeated our
collective consciousness to the point
where one can hardly experience an
ad for a wedding ring or wait at the
dentists office without being aware
of the Four Seasons issuing forth in
muted tones from some hidden speak-
er. And, to be honest, sometimes even
I think that is a bit much. But what
I think we can potentially lose sight
of is that the seeming never-ending
popularity of these pieces of music is
entirely because of the creative genius
of their composer, Antonio Vivaldi.
They are unbelievably catchy and
fun and creative and they are those
things because he was a great com-
poser. When you combine the compo-
sitional genius of Vivaldi with a pro-
grammatic idea which transcends
cultural boundaries (the cycle of the
seasons), you have music with real
staying power!
What can you tell me about the other
pieces on the program which were written
largely by expatriate Italian virtuosi, most
of whom arent household names?
The 18th century Italian Baroque
style is very fiery and expressive, and
I chose works by composers working
in that style whose compositions were
creative enough to balance out a pro-
gram which features Vivaldis Four
Seasons. Locatelli and Geminiani may
not be household names, but through
our performance of their imaginative
music we will attempt to present an
argument that they should become
more well known!
