Editorial
by Bob Hazard
Mr. Hazard is an Associate Editor of this paper and a former president of Birnam Wood Golf Club
n less than three weeks, voters will decide whether the Board of the Montecito Fire Protection District (MFPD) should be expanded from three to five members. If Montecito votes in the affirmative, the four top vote getters for the position will take a seat on the board. Our choices for the four seats available (current member John Venable is not up for reelection this cycle) are Susan Keller, John Abe Powell, Gene Sinser and Martha Collins. They have the strongest financial and entrepreneurial skills to provide community leadership, independence and transparency to the Fire Districts governing process. They will ask the toughest questions about fire regulations, equipment replacement, the need for Station #3, reciprocal agreements, community preparedness, evacuation plans, compensation, benefits, pensions and other urgent issues confronting the District.
Why We Need to Vote Yes on Measure F
Why Increase the Fire Board Size from 3 to 5 Members?
A five-member Board will allow the Board to act and avoid delay during an emergency if one member is absent or ill. It allows for community oversight and independence. It allows for working subcommittees to tackle financial and community issues. An expanded Board will also provide greater openness and transparency.
Why New MFPD Leadership?
The Boards role is to deliver the best protection possible to a community susceptible to dangerous wind-driven wildfires. We want a fire department that continues to provide outstanding fire prevention programs, superior medical emergency services and world-class response times. But Board members also have a fiduciary responsibility to see that taxpayer money is being spent wisely and that District operations are sustainable and remain in the black. For almost 40 years, Roy Jensen, 87, a former firefighter, has dominated the decisions of the three-man Board of the Fire District. Director Jensen is a good and honorable man, but he will be 91 by the end of his 10th term, if re-elected. We are grateful for Director Jensens dedicated public service, but MFPD is now faced with tough long-range questions and needs a fresh approach to those problems.
Is MFPDs Pay Competitive?
Troubling Pension Commitments
Montecito firefighters may retire at 55 years of age and receive an annual defined benefit lifetime pension of 3% of their final years compensation multiplied by each year of service. With 30 years of service, this means they receive 3% x 30 years, or up to 90% of their final years compensation during each year of their retirement. Retirees also receive annual cost-of-living increases and free lifetime medical benefits. When the former Fire Chief retired this year at the age of 54, his starting pension totaled a quarter of a million dollars a year, along with health care for life. Montecito is a wealthy community and most homeowners may be pleased to read how well its firefighters are paid. But, at some point such generous unfunded benefits will become problematic and/or unsustainable. It will be up to the Board of Directors of MFPD to negotiate in good faith to continue to pay firefighters well and to ensure the departments financial solvency. Please cast your vote: Yes on F, and Keller, Powell, Sinser & Collins for Fire Board. Its important. MJ 18 25 October 2012

Montecitos current Fire Chief earns a base pay of $242,000 annually, roughly comparable to the Fire Chief of Los Angeles and about $100,000 more than most California Fire Chiefs. The Montecito Fire Chief dealt with 22 fires last year, less than two per month, counting all structure fires, car fires, vegetation fires and dumpster fires, and also serviced another 546 paramedic emergencies and 475 service calls and false alarms. The Los Angeles Fire Department, by contrast, responded to 826,924 calls last year, including 8,099 structure fires and 661,765 responses for emergency medical services. To put the current Montecito Chiefs base salary in context, the Mayor of Los Angeles earns less ($232,425 annually) to manage a city of 4.1 million people with 56,200 city employees and a budget of $7.2 billion. Also making less are the Vice President of the United States ($230,700); the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court ($228,500); every U.S. Senator ($174,000); the Governor of California ($173,987); and Santa Barbara County Supervisors ($84,200). Since 88% of MFPDs budget is now spent on public pay and benefits, including pension payments, the Board has a vital oversight role in matching fairness with fiscal prudence.

Rebeccas Dinner Party Art Class
anta Barbara chef Rebecca Brand is going global! She had just returned from the MIPCOM trade show in Cannes, France, where her new series Dinner Party Art Class, which combines dating and relationships with fine wine, fine food and fine art as vivacious singles come together to find true love, created interest through her Canadian distributor, Canamedia. Nobody has signed on the dotted line yet, but four or five have made offers and there are another twenty around the table, Brand told me from the Mediterranean metropolis better known for its celebrity gridlocked film festival each May. Needless to say Im absolutely thrilled. It has been four days of dealing with really heavy hitters in the world of TV. Im now multi platform-

day. It has tripled in both hits per day and subscribers per day. The new show is based on Dinner Party Art Class, a concept that Rebecca, who taught art at Montecito Union School, launched in our Eden by the Beach a few years ago. Ive done a test market run on KEYT, the ABC affiliate, and it was a hit, so that encouraged me to develop it further. I got a contract for thirteen half-hour episodes, ten of which have already aired. I hired Joseph Souza, a videographer, and then editor Criz Cazor, and we sat together for hundreds of hours putting together a sizzle reel. It has really worked very well. It was the stations general manager, Mike Granados, who suggested I take it further. Last year Rebecca, a single mother with three boys, also launched Santa Barbara Men, where 12 unmarried males have a gourmet dinner together and she leads a discussion on finding everlasting love, with women coming for dessert and wine, as I first revealed here. John Thyne of the realtors, Goodwin and Thyne, is coaching me on negotiating, adds Rebecca. His brother is a star in the Fox series Bones and he does many different types of entertainment contracts. I have worked so very hard on
all these projects. I cant believe I am really breaking into television. It is a dream come true. Food for thought, without a doubt.... Cleeses Confessions At the age of 72, comedian John Cleese is about to reveal all in his autobiography. John, who has lived in our rarefied enclave for many years, recently made his permanent base in the jet set tax haven of Monaco with his fourth wife, English jewelry designer Jennifer Wade, 41, after tying the knot on the exclusive Caribbean island of Mustique in August, as I chronicled in this illustrious organ. Now the New York publishing giant, Random House, has signed a megabuck deal to acquire the world rights to his memoirs, which promise to be a fascinating read given his extraordinary life and the international acclaim he has achieved. Its the inside story of a shy child from Weston-super-Mare in England, who dabbled briefly with teaching and law, who went on to become one of the most feted writers and performers of the past fifty years, says the PR blurb. His autobiography, like the man himself, promises to be hilariously frank and frankly hilarious.

Time For A Change
read with great interest Bob Hazards excellent and informative editorial (Our Picks for Fire Safety, MJ # 18/40). It is indeed time for a new strategic vision, fiscal responsibility and community involvement in our most fundamental, and arguably most important community service. Community is what I most cherish in this semi-rural beauty in which we live. It was community that saved my family from the flames, as our call came not from reverse 911, but from Abe Powell, another active community advocate who made dozens of calls throughout the community. My family got out as the flames were crossing the ridge to our house. Our house did not burn in the initial barrage of flames, partly due to preparation and a fire resistant house, but mostly due to luck. It did ignite after the passing of the main firestorm. Montecito Fire did not have the appropriate smaller equipment to save my slowly burning home, but County and City did respond. Fours years later I watch with a
breaking heart as homeless homeowners in our community fight to rebuild their homes. To make matters worse, they are not just fighting with insurance companies and rising costs, but fighting with a fire department that doesnt understand our semi-rural communitys special requirements. Montecito Fire Department has adopted rules that are appropriate for building new subdivisions, but not for rebuilding burned-out family homes. Why is there no flexibility to the rules when it comes to rebuilding from a disaster? The Tea Fire taught us that the very elements we love the charming narrow lanes, the winding mountain roads and rural ambiance have become our biggest liabilities after a fire. The Tea and Jesusita fires will not be the last to threaten our community. If your home burns down, do you want a fire department that will require an Eminent Domain, a five-million-dollar special property tax assessment and a multi-million-dollar driveway before you can start to rebuild your old home?
This is what happened in Montecito and will happen again under current management. There are many questions to consider in charting the future of the fire department. Why do we have big boulevard cruisers as fire trucks? Why dont we have equipment appropriate for this community? Is it true that this fire district spends two to three times the money per station that Santa Barbara City, County and Summerland spend per station? They have four-man crews. Why do we have only three? Is it true that the last retired fire chief is receiving $365K a year in pension, part of a total of over a million a year in pension for the last four retired fire chiefs alone? Please keep this in mind when you choose a new Fire Board. Its time to elect some citizens on the board with passion, responsibility and who have experience on the recovery end of disaster. Steve McGlothen Montecito (Editors note: Former Fire Chief Wallaces retirement package is indeed generous, but it does not reach the heights you suggest. Well have more about fire department pensions and perhaps some suggestions as to how to finance them in the future that wont put the safety of Montecitos homes at risk and at the same time ensures that Montecito retains the best fire department in the state. J.B.)
Time To Pay Back
Measures A and B are on the November ballot. It continues the parcel taxes for both Santa Barbara School Districts passed in 2008. If it passes it will continue music and art education for our elementary students and improved Math, Science and Technology education in our secondary schools for four more years. Our education has treated us very well. We are a lively, involved and a quite a long-lived older generation, mainly because we learned how to read, think, and appreciate what life has to offer us. Then our children came along and we had good schools for them and, for most of us, our children are even better educated then we were. But now its time to step up for our grandchildren. For those of us seniors who really cant afford the parcel tax we can appeal to have the $48/$45 excused. I know that due to the financial crisis in 2008, our incomes are still down, tempting us to forget what we owe but we, here, in this time and place, have to give back what we were given. Vote Yes on A and B. Marge Gordon Grandmother to 10 (Editors note: While we reluctantly support Measures A and B, we are not in favor of excusing any property owner from the

Ciao Bella Opens on Coast Village Road

Jewelry designer Cinda McGraw opens storefront on Coast Village Road to display her work and wares
ast week, in the space formerly occupied by Lewis & Clark on Coast Village Road, jeweler Cinda McGraw opened Ciao Bella, a jewelry and gift store. Along with her one-of-a-kind creations, McGraw offers unusual collectables and antiques at the shop, as well as jewelry from other local designers. Ive always wanted a storefront, and Im looking forward to seeing all of my regular customers, McGraw
told us earlier this week. A 5th generation Santa Barbaran, Cinda has been creating her jewelry pieces at her home studio since 1998. Now I have a larger space to hold everything I love, she said. McGraw, whose parents own real estate in Montecitos lower village, has three distinct lines of jewelry, and customers from around the world. The first line, called Mermaid, is beach-themed, with light, earthy gem-

Cinda McGraw offers three distinct jewelry lines, all available at her new shop, Ciao Bella Montecito
stones like peridot, blue topaz, mother of pearl, chalcedony and opals. Her Flowers line is a bit bolder, with emeralds, topaz, citrine, pink tourmaline, pink quartz, prehnite, and other rare gems, with gold leaf accents. The Ancients line features ancient glass and jewels, including jade, garnet, and chalcedony, Roman beads and Greek coins, some of which are 2,500 years old. These pieces are made with authentic and certified artifacts from Egyptian, Etruscan, Roman and Greek periods. Most of the jewelry is set in high carat gold, with a few pieces set in brass or sterling silver. The renovated space is filled with collectables and antiques, as well as new items, with price points for everybody.

AMHI Opens in Montecito
Advanced Medical Hair Institute, owned and operated by Dr. Joseph Williams, MD, FACS, has opened on Coast Village Road in Montecito. Dr.
Williams, who is a hair restoration specialist, tells us he is one of 35 doctors in the world trained in cutting edge hair restoration techniques, which produce effective and natural results. Im thrilled to be part of this community, says Dr. Williams. Dr. Williams and Julie Richter, PA-C, gave us a tour of the new facility, which fronts Coast Village Circle. Our interview was scheduled during a break from one of Williams procedures; the patient, who was awake and resting, allowed us into the procedure room to see firsthand Dr. Williams technique. Dr. Williams grafts hair follicles using tiny, custom cut blades. The patient we met showed us a section of follicles on the back of her head that had been removed earlier in the day. Two technicians were also in the procedure room, removing the hair follicles from the skin removed from the patient, under microscopes. Then, the follicles are transplanted back onto the hairline, with tiny incisions made by Dr. Williams. When we met her, the patient had already had 1,500 follicles implanted; Dr. Williams planned on doing a total of 4,000 by the end of the day. I trust him completely, and I am very comfortable, the patient told us. While it is an all-day affair, the patient is awake and coherent; Dr. Williams has set up Wi-Fi and a television in the procedure room, to make his patients more comfortable. The doctor performs every consultation and 8-10 hour procedure himself, to ensure the best care, he said. I like to think of it as hair artistry, not just a medical procedure, he told us. In a brochure showing before and after pictures of hair restoration patients, Dr. Williams has his own hairline pictured, as he is a patient of the specialized procedure. A native of North Carolina, Dr. Williams attended undergraduate school at East Carolina University and medical school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, and has worked in Nevada since 1993. Past patients include men and women, celebrities, politicians, and even a sitting president from a country on the

his year the Community Environmental Councils (CEC) Green Gala attacked all of your senses from the sound of rhythmic music to wildly airbrushed and costumed Green Greeters welcoming you into a stunning space filled with trees hung with moss and leaves, and walls covered in white chiffon and awash in dramatic light. The plain Santa Barbara Armory had disappeared into the dcor. The dance floor was called the Rhythm Cave, a room created out of LED screens, which surrounded guests with images of nature, a forest, kelp beds, or a windswept mountaintop. The Cirque du Soleil artists were awesome as live trees on stilts walking around. As chair Elizabeth Wagner and honorary chair Cyndi Richman said, Almost everything in the room is borrowed, repurposed or vintage including costumes, the greenery, the dcor and the centerpieces. Merryl Brown Events and the Green Gala Committee (a team that donated hundreds of hours) collaborated on all the details even selecting the dinnerware with thought as to how much water it would take to wash them.

Burglary, Crossbow Danger on Ashley Road
Hamlet
Thursday, 11 October, 7:57 am Deputy Baisa was dispatched to a botanical garden on Ashley Road to investigate a commercial burglary. A kiosk located on the property to welcome visitors and take payments was broken into; the door to the kiosk was kicked in. It appears the burglar attempted and failed to gain access to a locked cash register, but the suspect was able to steal 10 two-way radios and one multi channel radio. It appears the suspect gained access to the property by jumping over a fence. Upon speaking with the facilities manager and the gardens executive director, another issue on the property was raised. Six months ago, the gardens staff filed a police report regarding crossbow arrows that had been found on the property. The arrows were stuck in the ground and in trees; it was assumed the arrows were fired onto the property during the night when no one was on the property. Earlier this month, two more arrows were fired onto the property, this time during the day; a maintenance worker observed one of the arrows land in his vicinity. The executive director told the deputy she was concerned for the safety of her employees, due to the fact that the crossbows have each penetrated significantly into trees and into the ground where they land. The deputy conducted a search of the area, and spoke with all neighbors regarding the issue. A report was filed.
Burglary on East Mountain Drive
Monday, 15 October 9:29 am Deputy Dickey was dispatched to East Mountain Drive on report of a burglary. The owner of the property reported that his hired workers had notified him that someone had cut the padlock on the access gate to the property, and subsequently cut off two locks on two storage containers. Several tools were stolen, including a generator, chainsaws, and weedwackers. A report was taken.

Trail Rescues in Montecito
Monday, 15 October, 9:55 am and 1:16 pm Montecito Fire Protection District responded to two victims of heat illness on local trails. The first victim was reported at 9:55 am, approximately 1 mile up from the Romero Canyon Trailhead. Montecito Fire arrived to find a 51-year-old male who had been mountain bike riding. Montecito Fire made contact with the patient at 10:26 am, and transported him down the trail via a pick up truck. He was then taken to Cottage Hospital by AMR. The second victim was reported at 1:16 pm approximately half a mile above the waterfall on San Ysidro Trail. The 65-year-old female had been hiking with her husband and began to feel what she reported to be heat stroke. The hikers had a cell phone with them, but there was no service where they were. A hiker who was passing by ran further down the trail and called 9-1-1 once they were able to receive a cell signal. The patient was located at 1:53 pm and transported to Cottage Hospital via Santa Barbara Helicopter 308. Responding equipment included Montecito Fire, Los Padres National Forest, Santa Barbara County Sheriffs Department, Santa Barbara County Search and Rescue, and AMR. MJ

Montecito Schools Score High
Last week, Academic Performance Index (API) scores were released in Santa Barbara. The index is a standard by which schools in California are held accountable for student performance; Cold Spring School scored the highest in Santa Barbara County, with Montecito Union School coming in third.

other side of the globe. The doctor says he made the move from Nevada to Montecito because he wanted to settle by the sea. His wife and two kids are in the process of moving here, too. Also part of the practice is Physicians Assistant Julie Richter, who specializes in aesthetic services including treatment of wrinkles, skin tone and texture, acne, and discoloration. She utilizes treatments including Botox, Juvederm, Radiesse, and other injectables, as well as laser skin treatment. AMHI is located at 1187 Coast Village Road, Suite 8. The 1700-sq-ft office has been completely renovated; it has dedicated parking spaces in the lot on Coast Village Circle, and is private and discreet. For more information about Dr. Williams, visit www. need-hair.com, or call (805) 969-6069.
Cold Spring School teachers with Dr. Tricia Price. The school recently scored highest in Santa Barbara County on the statewide Academic Performance Index.
What the scores tell us are that our students are achieving, Cold Spring School superintendent Dr. Tricia Price told us earlier this week. A score of 1000 is a perfect score, with anything over 800 considered proficient. Schools scoring lower than 800 receive targeted funding from the state to help improve scores among struggling subgroups of students, Dr. Price explained. CSS scored 966, which is a 16-point increase from last year, while Montecito Union School scored 957. Mountain View, in Santa Barbara, came in second, scoring 960.

Why I am Running for School Board
I must admit that I surprised myself when on August 15 I wrote a check for an amount in excess of $5,000 and declared my candidacy for the Santa Barbara School Board. I had never contemplated running for public office, notwithstanding I deeply care about my community and country, I was just too busy with my life. So what is it that moved me to make this fateful decision a few months ago? Simply put, the state of public education in our country and locally in Santa Barbara is in crisis. Am I being melodramatic when I say that our public schools are not only failing us but also have the potential to leave a generation of kids ill prepared for a high tech economy, increasingly dependent on higher-order critical thinking skills? Lets review the data to see if I am exaggerating the extent of the problem. The Program
for International Student Assessment has recently ranked U.S. 15-year-old students 35th in math literacy, 29th in science and 18th in reading among all industrialized countries. It also concluded that 70% of our eighth graders cannot read proficiently. Those who believe our local schools are performing better than what we are seeing on the national level would be sadly mistaken. Unfortunately, more than half of our students in many grades and classes are not proficient in English and/or math. Less than a third of our high school graduates completes two full years of postgraduate education and far fewer complete four-year colleges. The most astounding statistic is that up to 90% of our high school graduates who attend our community colleges need remedial instruction in English and math. I think most would agree this is not a pretty picture. So what can we do to change the trajectory of the decline of public education? The good news is that most of the educational pundits who have studied the problems have determined it will require dramatic reforms. We need to reform our tenure and seniority rules, implement comprehensive teacher and principal evaluation systems, reward teachers based on their performance rather than their length of service and, finally, change the cul-
FOR SALE
ture in our schools to one where every child is expected to succeed and those responsible for the current problems cease making excuses for the dismal results we are achieving. To help illustrate the dysfunction these counterproductive and archaic rules create in our schools, lets review what has transpired locally. In the Santa Barbara District, there was only one teacher dismissed for poor performance in the last five years. Until last year, tenured teachers were only evaluated once every five years and 100% of all teachers received satisfactory grades, even though it is highly unlikely that all teachers are performing at the same level. High performing teachers are often paid less than their less effective colleagues due to seniority rules. A particularly egregious incident resulting from these misguided rules occurred in 2010 when the Santa Barbara County Teacher of the Year was dismissed because of lack of seniority. So we know in order for the school district to work for all children, these rules need to change. What is the problem? An entrenched bureaucracy and resistant teacher unions that fight tooth and nail any of these sensible reforms. Teacher unions have spent over $200 million in the last five years to preserve the status quo. Recently, they blocked enactment of SB 1530, a bill that would have made it easier to fire pedophile teachers (Das Williams voted with the union). The teachers union came very close to passing AB 5, a bill that would have essentially blocked the introduction of effective teacher evaluation systems in the schools. We then have our local school board, which has voted in favor of every tax increase on the ballot. They have put Measures A & B on the ballot, an increase in property taxes for all prop-
erty owners in the district, and they have endorsed Propositions 30 and 38, despite the fact that per-pupil spending in the Santa Barbara District has increased by $400 per pupil in the last four years. Interestingly, Proposition 38 is widely opposed by the voters as evidenced by recent polls, because it will raise taxes for anyone with an income over $7,000. However, that did not stop our school board from endorsing it. Although our board has asked taxpayers in our district to pony up with more of their hard-earned dollars, not once have any of the members endorsed or even spoken out about any of the reforms mentioned in this article. Why is this the case? Is it because they have all sought the endorsement and the campaign contributions of the teachers unions and their political allies? Recently, I asked my opponents to release their answers to the Santa Barbara Teachers Association questionnaire to see what they promised the local teachers union in exchange for its endorsement, but so far none have agreed, even though if they are elected they will have to collectively bargain with the union regarding wages, benefits and an assortment of work rules. One has to wonder if they have compromised their objectivity and independence in order to get elected. I ask for your vote, so I can represent the students, parents and residents tired of the excuses and unwilling to accept the poor performance of our schools. Together with your help and support, we can implement the long overdue reforms and make sure all children are receiving the education they deserve.

ca/sba/vote/segal_l Lou Segal Santa Barbara (This editors note was written by Mr. Segal: Twenty-four years ago, I moved to Santa Barbara from Boston with my wife. I founded a real estate finance consulting business in 1992 and have successfully run it since. My son has gone through the public schools and last May graduated from Claremont McKenna College. I frequent the many dog parks in Santa Barbara with my trusty golden retriever, Tracy. Since she gets all the attention, I am known as the guy who just happens to be accompanying her.)
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks for the recent article about new shops opening at the Montecito Country Mart (Filling Up The Spaces MJ # 18/40). As a new small-business owner in Montecito, one of my goals is to generate a local following and become part of the community. The mention in your paper was the ideal way to launch my new venture. I am eternally grateful. Thank you, Cathy Mogull Summerland Mercantile
Eternally Grateful
Agenda at official Board meetings due to the fact that two members constitute a majority and anything they discuss becomes Official Business. Director Jensen fought me for the past five years on the idea of expanding the Board. Luckily, John Venable voted for the proposal and Director Jensen went along with it. I pray that our public sees the logic and necessity for the five man Board and passes it. In one week, I will attend my last Fire Board Meeting. I would like to feel that I have made a difference at MFPD if by no other action than to push forth the change in Directorship from three to five. Dana Newquist Montecito (Editors note: Dana has been a dedicated and resourceful resident of Montecito for many years. The Board will miss his intelligence, passion, and that vaunted dedication. We are sorry to see him go. J.B.)
Not Fair and Balanced
Nearly ten years ago, when I first made it known I was interested in becoming a Montecito Fire Protection District Board member, I was excited to learn the District wanted me. I replaced Dan Eidelson who left the Board due to disagreements with Director Roy Jensen. Over the past years, I have asked if Dan would return, the answer has always been No. With the thought that Director Jensen, the incumbent, may be re-elected for another term, coupled by the possible rejection of the five-man Board, I made the decision it was time for me to retire. What Bob Hazard has outlined as reasons for expansion from three to five members on the Board are accurate. There are two others that he has not mentioned. For approximately one year, Director Jensen became extremely ill. Since he was unavailable due to his ailment last summer, the other Board member John Venable and I were notified not to make vacation plans due to the inability for the Department to conduct Official Business if there were only one Director available. Furthermore, tough questions arise several times per month: compensation, benefits, insurance, land use issues, Station 3, litigation, replacement of vehicles, budgets, hiring, firing, and a large host of others. Due to the Brown Act, there is no way to discuss by any means other than on 18 25 October 2012
MFPD Needs A Five-Man Board
From time to time I sample the editorial content of the Montecito Journal. I understand that you dont claim to be fair and balanced, still I am disappointed that you allow the letters to the editor section to be such a rightwing echo chamber. The letters to the editor published in your October 11-18 edition are the latest example of your partisan preferences degrading the editorial integrity of your publication. Of a total of eight letters published, six were about the Presidential election; five of these were critical of President Obama while one was in support of him. The five critical letters offered plenty of partisan talking points but no factual criticism. You offered no significant editorial comment on them. The other letter, from Leoncio Martins in support of President Obama, gave specific details responding to the question: are we better off than four years ago? This is the one letter to which you wrote a lengthy editorial response. In your response you admit deleting from the letter the evidence that in recent decades Democratic Presidents have had more success leading the economy than Republicans. Apparently you have no counterpoint to that. You also make the specious claim that President Obama put federal spending in hyper-drive, you deny the effects of Republican intransigence on the economy, and you close with a feeble attempt to blame family income decline and medical insurance cost increases on Obama policies. Surely you can represent conservative principles and policies without resorting to such tired partisan rhetoric and editorial malarkey. I am looking forward to your reply. Regards, John D. Kelley
Santa Barbara (Editors note: Thank you for your thoughtful letter. We actually do consider ourselves fair, but we certainly have no love for this current administration. As for our reply, well take this one issue at a time. The letters we printed critical of President Obama are the letters we received over the prior week. We did not receive any other than Mr. Martins letters praising the president, so naturally we didnt print any. Leoncio Martins is a well-known Obama supporter who sends his letters praising and defending the presidents policies to all media, regularly. Consequently, we rarely publish his letters, but when he deigns to reference something he read in the Journal, we are then obligated to print his missive. We are not, however, obligated to allow misinformation to be passed along without comment. Which is, of course, why we responded with our Editors note. We deleted the portion of Mr. Martins letter referencing Democrat presidents because his claim that they all, including Johnson and Carter, balanced their budgets and all Republican presidents during that same period had not, is simply specious. It is true that the last budget President Johnson approved (for fiscal 1969) was supposedly balanced, but the escalating costs of the Vietnam war and the implementation of the Great Society programs quickly put an end to all that. The budget was out of bal-
ance long before the fiscal year ended. The truth is that in the past fifty years only President Clinton presided over a government with a truly balanced budget thanks to Newt Gingrich and the 1994 Republican takeover of the U.S. House of Representatives. We do give President Clinton credit for signing on to the Republican budget. So, rather than correct the record, we just omitted the fictional history of U.S. Presidents. Well agree that Republican and Democrat presidents have been equally profligate, but as of now, today, only Republicans seem willing to consider spending restraints, modest though they may be. If you do not believe that adding nearly five trillion dollars to the national debt in three and a half years is federal spending in hyper-drive, then you and I are living on two different planes of reality. As for Republican intransigence, I dont even know what that means. If you mean that Republicans in the House who have passed three budgets over the past three years, while the Democrat-led Senate has passed none are trying to stick to the principal of requiring budget cuts to balance any new spending, well you can call that intransigence, or even editorial malarkey. I call it common sense. Lastly, is there any question that the passage of the Affordable Care Act has caused insurance rates to skyrocket in anticipation of the acts full implementation? J.B.) MJ

Its an honor and a recognition for a job well done, Dr. Price said. She added that the single most important factor for the increase is the high level of teaching at CSS. We also have a culture at this school, that its cool to do school. An attitude of academics is instilled first at home, and then reiterated by teachers and school staff. Its a team effort, she said.

Emergency Dissemination Information

With the fourth anniversary of Montecitos Tea Fire around the corner, it seems fitting to remind readers about emergency information sources used in Montecito. Montecito Fire Protection Districts Geri Ventura breaks down the various forms of communication used by MFPD, most notably, NIXLE, a subscription alert program that is free to the community. Since its inception, we have utilized NIXLE to notify the community of a variety of things such as preparedness information, MERRAG training, press releases relating to District activities and noteworthy calls, general non-emergent information during wildland fires, and when it is made available, traffic conditions that directly affect Montecito, Ventura explains. These types of public information are classified as NIXLE Community messages. There are also NIXLE Advisories, which are used to send out non-emergent information that the community can use to prepare for anticipated events (such as weather advisories), and NIXLE Alerts, which are used for evacuation and life safety notifications. The subscriber has the option to select which notifications (Community, Advisory, Alert), they want to receive, and whether they want it via email and/or SMS text messaging, says Ventura. I will personally go over this information with anyone who inquires; I will also assist in setting up the subscription for those who need help.

NIXLE was brought into play after the Tea Fire, when it was realized that Reverse 911 systems had many failures due to power outages and burned phone lines. The District conducted tests of various alerting systems, and uses a combination of methods to disseminate emergency information. In addition to NIXLE, MFPD offers HomeALERT, a tone radio which will transmit an up to 90 decibel tone and scrolling text with instructions on how to respond when activated. The system utilizes FM frequencies to distribute the notifications via the HEARO Network through a partnership established with KDB Radio, FM 93.7. The radios can be purchased at Fire Station 1 on San Ysidro Road, or call 969-2537. Reverse 911 is also in use, and is managed by the Santa Barbara County Sheriffs Department. All home phone numbers are a part of their data collection set, including unlisted numbers, and geocoded to the location in which they are registered. Additional phone numbers can be added by registering them at www.sbsheriff.org/rever se911a.html. MFPD also utilizes social networking including Twitter and Facebook to release emergency information, and AM radio 1610. Ms Ventura has availed herself to assist with information relating to any of these notification methods. She can be contacted at gventura@montecitofire.com or 9692537. MJ

BOOK TALK
houghts of Virginia Woolfs fiction often trigger thoughts of her novels, To the Lighthouse, or Mrs. Dalloway. Each of these, in its way, demonstrates a sure grasp of narrative technique, the vibrant range of dramatic process, and the human psyche. As a writer and observer, Woolf is to the present as Jane Austen was to her time, a vital force and a remarkable innovator. She is at the peak of the pyramid of authors who have expanded the use and potential of interior monologue in telling story. Less known among her works is her 1931 novel, The Waves, short, poignant, and character driven, almost to the point of plot getting away from her like a helium balloon escaping a childs grasp. Once you understand the concept, The Waves is not difficult to grasp. But it requires a second reading to make it as memorable an experience as Woolfs better-known works. The major characters are six friends, Bernard, Neville, Louis, Jinny, Susan, and Rhoda, appearing in segments named after them in much the same way William Faulkner named sections

Making Waves

after his characters in As I Lay Dying. We learn about these individuals almost entirely from their interaction rather than any authorial intervention. The nine sections of The Waves correspond to a time of day, which in turn represents a time of life. After each section, there are long, almost poetic passages about a particular aspect of the ocean at various stages of the wax and wane of the tide or of some natural setting such as a garden. Woolf scholars enjoy arguing the symbolism of these segments. My own take is that they represent stages of consciousness. Section one, morning, corresponds to childhood, where the characters first meet and we learn their personality through dialogue and interior monologue what the characters are thinking at a given moment. Jinny, for
example, emerges as predominately physical while Bernard, a favorite of many readers, is even at this early age the talker of the group, caught up in the elegance of language. Rhoda, by contrast, seems to inhabit a dreamy plane, dealing with abstractions (and making me wonder as the novel evolves if she is not a stand in for the author). Neville, in his preoccupations with order and beauty, is manifestly a control freak in the making, while Susan seems fascinated by Nature and Louiss focus on ambition may be interpreted as insecurity.
Woolf focuses on language and its meaning, literature in general, and such prevalent existential matters as life, death, and the self
The second segment has the six sent off to schools, which at the time were not co-ed, separated by gender. The boys meet a seventh character, Percival, whom each tries to impress, and who will have marked effects on the girls as well. The introduction of Percival functions as a telling and intriguing pivotal point for the balance of the novel. Of all those who
appear, Percival alone is not given thoughtful soliloquy. We must make of him what we will from the impressions of him by the others. By the third segment, Bernard and Neville are close friends, both of them admiring Percival, but Neville wishes more than mere friendship. As the narrative moves toward the final segments, the characters have aged, become involved in personal, professional, and artistic relationships, culminating with a farewell dinner for Percival and a middle years gathering suggesting a dramatic closure, but not necessarily the last meeting. Woolf focuses on language and its meaning, literature in general, and such prevalent existential matters as life, death, and the self. At one point, dining with his friends, Bernard reflects: Here at this table, what I call my life is not one life that I look back upon; I am not one person; I am many people; I do not know altogether who I am Jinny, Susan, Neville, Rhonda, or Louis; or how to distinguish my life from theirs. When she wrote of The Waves, Woolf often equated it with poetry, all the more reason to savor it slowly. With The Waves, she flung open the door on the inner life of characters with grace and conviction. The door has remained open for those brave enough to follow her. MJ
Dreaming of Being Rockettes

Since they were little girls, my mom and her sisters were always best friends. They spent hours on their roller skates choreographing routines and performing for the neighbors. They dreamed of one day having their own stage show. Over the years, their dreams changed. They each married and had children, but they always remained close. Holidays and family dinners were well orchestrated events, much like their skating routines. Each would make a dish for our elaborate meals with table decorations to match. The night would not be complete without songs and dancing around the piano. I can see the loneliness in my moms eyes, as my aunts are gone now. She has not been herself since the loss of her best friends. She seems depressed and does not leave her home. She needs help with daily tasks: food prep, housework and transportation. I want her to have joy and companionship again. If an elderly parent genuinely needs daily assistance maybe theyre not independent any more. Please consider egis Living.

Larrys Latest Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison, who owns three homes in our tony town, is continuing his real estate buying spree. Americas third richest man, according to Forbes magazine, has just bought his ninth mansion on a half-mile long stretch of sand in Malibu. The 68-year-old tycoon splashed out $36.9 million for a three-acre plot previously owned by former Yahoo CEO Terry Semel and his wife, Jane. The stunning property on Carbon Beach, just a tiaras toss from fellow billionaire, entertainment mogul David Geffen and business magnate Mike Milken, boasts three buildings, including a main home, a pavilion and a guest house that has been designed with a nautical theme to tie in with the spectacular location. The guesthouse alone has nine bedrooms and 13 bathrooms. The latest purchase comes just three months after Ellison bought an entire Hawaiian island, Lanai, for a reported $500 million from billionaire David Murdock, making it one of the most expensive private purchases in history. The 88,000-acre property, the sixth largest of the Hawaiian Islands at

141 square miles, was formerly a pineapple plantation and consists of two resorts, two golf courses, and assorted commercial and residential buildings. Ellison, who has an estimated fortune of $41 billion, also owns extensive properties in San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, Newport, Rhode Island, and Japan. How he keeps track of all the door keys is another matter... UCSB Fundraising Campaign Montecito philanthropist Leslie Ridley-Tree has been throwing her weight behind a major campaign to raise $1 billion for UCSB. Leslie became co-chair of the fundraising earlier this year with Oracle chairman, Jeff Henley a 1966 graduate , who donated $50 million to the university in May, the largest donation in its history. The campaign, which closes in four
years time, has already raised a staggering $770 million in the last eight years, which goes towards retaining and recruiting top notch faculty, supporting scholarships, updating facilities and building up endowment. Earlier this month, Leslie flew to New York to participate in several campaign events which included foundation chair, Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas, a 1968 graduate, chancellor Henry Yang and foundation president, Bruce Wilcox, who hosted a lunch at the ritzy 94-year-old Racquet Club followed by a dinner at the exclusive Sony Club, with Good Morning America anchor Josh Elliott, who was in the class of 93, as the emcee. This is really all about survival, given all funding has been cut by the state, says Leslie. The university has to be put on a firm foundation and the support has been absolutely overwhelming. The campaign is

scheduled to close in 2016, but, given the current level of donations, may close sooner. Hot Spot Filming in Santa Barbara goes from strength to strength, according to film commissioner, Geoff Alexander. There has certainly been a significant increase despite the economy, he told me at an industry mixer at Studio 240. This event is to bring the local media production community together. Its the first time weve done it. Folks often dont communicate because they are too wrapped up in
their work. This brings producers, filmmakers, location scouts and production services really into the mix. More than $11 million was spent filming here last year, with more expected this year, including two high profile reality shows Eva Longorias Ready For Love for NBC and Ryan Seacrests Montecito Ballroom, which has just been given the green light, I can exclusively reveal. An independent film, Mucho Dinero, with Starship Troopers actor Casper Van Dien, ex-husband of Carrie Mitchum, granddaughter of late Montecito resident, actor Robert Mitchum, was also shot here.

(from left) State Street Ballet founder Rodney Gustafson, principal dancer Leila Drake, and Sergey Kheylik take a break during rehearsal of upcoming production of An American Tango at the Lobero
few weeks ago (Sunday, September 30), State Street Ballet performers honored Margo Cohen-Feinberg with a gala entitled Tango on the Riviera in the Biltmores Loggia Ballroom. State Street Ballet founder and director Rodney Gustafson, along with Michael Roush, is set to follow that up with the world premiere of the original ballet, An American Tango, the story of early 20th-century ballroom dancing sensations Frank and Yolanda Veloz (known professionally as Veloz and Yolanda), conceived and written by the couples son, Guy Veloz, the youngest of their four children. The play will be choreographed and directed by William Soleau and performed on the Lobero stage by the full company of dancers on Saturday, October 27 and again on Sunday October 28. Frank and Yolanda Veloz danced mostly during the 1930s, and 40s, and are considered one of the greatest ballroom dancing couples that ever lived. They were the first couple to grace
the cover of Life magazine (October 30, 1939). An American Tango, explains Soleau during a short conversation on a Saturday afternoon at the Gail Towbes Dance Studio off Las Positas in Santa Barbara, starts out at the turn of the twentieth century and takes you from the streets of Hells Kitchen to [high-end dance palaces] such as the Palmer House and the Embassy Club.

Their way out of the streets of Hells Kitchen was ballroom dancing.

Vote Baloney
Every four years I use the mighty weight and influence of the Montecito Journal to do what few people are sapheaded enough to do run for president of the United States. I have not fared well in the past but I expect better results this time because running for president was much harder before; people actually expected you to know stuff. If Ive learned anything from the latest presidential campaign, its that you can pretty much make up your own facts nowadays, and its perfectly acceptable to stretch the truth, or, to put it more bluntly, lie like a vegetarian caught at Johnnys Rib Shack. With that in mind, and as I sit in my 100% eco-friendly Montecito manor, flanked by my multicultural supermodel wife, surrounded by my nineteen physically disabled adopted children and six rescue dogs, I once again announce my candidacy for President of the United States. You need a party affiliation to run for president. Theres already a Democrat and Republican, and a horde of Independents, so I figured Id create my own party. Tattoos are popular so I considered the Tattoo Party but, just like getting the real thing, I chickened out. Fantasizing about long lines to check the box next to my name, I contemplated the iPhone Party but it didnt ring true. I settled on the Baloney Party because I plan on blowing more smoke than my dads 1956 Oldsmobile. It also helps to get elected if you can claim to be the first fill-in-the-blank president. For example, Kennedy was the first Catholic president, Barack Obama is the first African American president, and Mitt Romney is attempting to become the first Mormon president. Well, I hope to be the first modern-day obese president. Our last fat president was President Taft and nobody, not even Shelly Lowenkopf, can remember him. My fellow Americans, I say its about time we elected another tubby, as long as that tubby isnt named Chris or Christie. President Taft was so fat they had to widen the White House doors and make a custom fitted bathtub which is where the phrase tubby comes from. The above statement is completely fabricated, but it sounds good, and as a serious presidential candidate Im going to stick by it no matter how many fact checkers tell me Im full of government cheese. Its been reported that 96% of African Americans will vote for President Obama, 99.9% of Mormons will vote for Romney, and 92% of Alzheimers

patients will vote for Eisenhower. If I can get 90% of my overweight comrades to vote for me, Im in like cow lips in a hot dog. Of course, some of the obese voters will be African American, and some will be Mormon, but I promise that if those conflicted pudgy souls stay home on election night Ill have a large combination pizza and stuffed cheesy bread delivered to their homes.
I settled on the Baloney Party because I plan on blowing more smoke than my dads 1956 Oldsmobile
There are a few voters out there that still expect a candidate to stand for something and have some semblance of a platform. For those diehard traditionalists, Im willing to stick my neck out a bit and declare that Im for legalizing medical marijuana. Whats not to like? The farmers can grow it, the small businessman can sell it, the government can tax it, and the 314 million Americans who will subsequently claim to suffer from glaucoma can smoke it. Ill also expand the medical conditions that qualify for medical marijuana to include dandruff, jock itch, formication (Google it), split ends, double-jointedness, collywobbles, ring around the collar, and case of Mondays. The whole country is concerned about the economy, but unlike the other candidates I have an actual recovery plan. I boldly propose that we eliminate the last zero in everything. If a new car costs $36,000, the day after Im elected it will cost $3,600. If a house costs $750,000, when Im president youll be able to purchase it for $75,000. If gasoline is $4.50 a gallon on November 6th itll cost 45 cents on November 7th, and a Big Mac will go from $3.50 to 35 cents. And the best news of all, after Im elected that same Big Mac will have only 70 calories instead of 700. One small problem under my plan if you made $100,000 a year youll only be making $10,000, but well fix that in my second term. MJ 18 25 October 2012

On Entertainment
he Santa Barbara Symphony launches its 60th season this weekend with a reprise of local composer Emma Lou Diemers Santa Barbara Overture, followed by Beethovens sturdy Symphony No. 5 and Rachmaninoff, Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, with Andre Watts at the piano. Its a weighty program, to be sure. But its only the first salvo in a season that sprinkles new wrinkles among the old favorites. We caught up with music director Nir Kabaretti via Skype from Italy late last week to preview the concert and the season as a whole.
Symphonys Sixtieth Season
by Steven Libowitz

success? Just considering from what it started a group of amateurs, with no union musicians, basically people who got together and played for fun. Weve had a very supportive community, with people who showed leadership on the board and at the music level, bringing it up to where we now have a tough, high bar to be selected for the symphony. More and more our musicians are winning other jobs sometimes full-time so they have to leave. Thats been very gratifying. For this season, youve chosen to revisit classical standards along with some newer pieces as a theme for this year. Can you elaborate, and maybe particularly address the question of innovative programming versus old chestnuts? I know of an orchestra that was awarded not long ago for being so innovative. Guess what? The audience declined. Its a fine line between doing pieces audiences want to hear, and bringing in new works. We realize I cant educate 3,000 people who
are of the age our audience is, somewhat elderly and set in their ways. If we had a chance to build an audience from younger ones who have less experience, maybe I could do more. In Munich, or New York you could be more adventurous. But this season is designed, programmed, and thoughtfully put together for this orchestra, this community, this audience. But at the same time we are introducing new composers, and doing things that arent normal classical concert experiences playing simultaneously with the ballet or having a painter create art on stage live. We commissioned a new piece written for us for this season. We take our projects very seriously. You can argue we could do more of that, but I think the balance is the right one for this orchestra. Please talk about this first concert. We tried on the entire season to bring stuff that relates the orchestra to the community, whether its collaborating with other institutes or bringing artists from our history. [Andre Watts] was part of the family for a long time. I wanted him to be back and witness what weve done. I think he will be pleasantly surprised to see what were up to these days. And its
Q. Lets talk first about you renewing your contract for another three years. How would you describe the journey of the past half-dozen years, and has the ensemble grown in that period? What is your vision for the future? A. Its been wonderful. The symphony has improved in all senses, from financial to musicianship and ensemble playing. Were getting to know each other better, auditioning new people and coming together. Its a process. I think weve grown up beautifully together. Every time we play I feel its a bit better, and the working atmosphere is really exceptionally good. Comparing it to other orchestras where I work as a guest, sometimes you come to rehearsals where the musicians arent so motivated. But here, when we are together to start a new program in a week theres excitement and everybody is giving their best. A lot of our musicians come from far away so it must be important enough, because there are so many other opportunities. To play with me they have to decline another job. So Im extremely happy with how its been. In terms of the roster, weve had massive auditions over the last five

years and now were pretty settled. There are only a few vacant spots and those should be settled in the next two years. So the roster will be complete and well be in the position where we are comfortable with this product. Now, I want to make us even more related to and collaborative with other organizations in town, and extend our reach out of town, whether we tour or attract them here. People in our city know who we are. But I would like it if the northern part of the country or south of here got to witness our music. We want to extend our capacity. Were doing well. So many orchestras are struggling financially, were very lucky not to reduce our subscription concerts were one of the healthiest organizations here and in the symphonic world. So wed like to play out of town. Its the sixtieth season. What would you say has been the key to the symphonys

Jerusalem by Sir Charles Hubert Parry, which was prominently featured in the opening and closing ceremonies of the London Olympics and in the film Chariots of Fire. The repertoire includes a world premiere by renowned composer Emma Lou Diemer, who celebrates her 85th birthday this season. Her Concerto for Violin, which includes the three movements, A Little Parlour Music (After Poulenc), Remembrance of Things Past and Santa Barbara Rag, is dedicated to Westmont violin professor Philip Ficsor and the orchestra. Coincidentally, the Santa Barbara Symphony opens its season honoring Diemer by performing her Santa Barbara Overture on Saturday, October 20 at 8 pm. I decided not to write a huge, complex, lengthy work but rather one that might be pleasurable to hear rather than disturbing, Diemer says. I am grateful for the fine talents of Professor Ficsor and Professor Shasberger and the Westmont Orchestra for presenting this new work. Diemers works are widely published, and her second piano concerto received a Kennedy Center Friedheim Award in 1991. Diemer, who joined the faculty at UC Santa Barbara in 1971 and became professor emerita in 1991, has been commissioned for many chamber, orchestral and choral compositions. She was composer in residence with the Santa Barbara Symphony in the early 1990s, and the orchestra performed five of her works. She was one of only two women composition majors in her class at Yales School of Music, where she earned her bachelors and masters degrees in 1949 and 1950. The Westmont Music Department will continue its Adopt-A-Musician program again this year, pairing concertgoers with an orchestra musician for the 2012-13 season. Supporters may adopt a musician for $100, which includes a card with a photo and basic information about the student musician. All funds received through the program support the students performances and tour expenses. Please email music@westmont.edu for more information about the program.

Zaqtan, a leading poet of the Arab world, and Joudah, an award-winning poet and translator, have embarked on a month-long tour together, visiting 15 venues in the U.S., including Yale, New York, Columbia, Harvard and Boston Universities. Zaqtan, the author of 10 collections of poetry, was born in Beit Jala, near Bethlehem, and has lived in Jordan, Beirut, Damascus and Tunis. He returned to Palestine in 1994 and now lives in Ramallah. He is also a novelist, editor and filmmaker. Joudah, a practicing physician of internal medicine, has translated two poetry collections by celebrated Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, If I Were Another and The Butterflys Burden. Joudahs own book, The Earth in the Attic, won the Yale Series of Younger Poets prize in 2008, the first for an Arab-American. He lives in Houston. Like a Straw Bird, published by Yale University Press, is a volume in the Margellos World Republic of Letters series, dedicated to making literary works from around the globe available in English through translation. Zaqtans poems are uncompromising in their direct engagement with daily life, detailing the way in which the quotidian is, after all, the grand narrative of history, says Cole Swensen of the Iowa Writers Workshop.

hen they told me his name was Bronco, I thought surely I misunderstood their Spanish. But no, the Peruvian Paso gelding that I was to spend the next three hours riding through Perus Sacred Valley was indeed named Bronco. I hoped the moniker didnt portend a rodeo-style event would take place when I put my foot in the square Peruvian stirrup, and that Bronco didnt have a bias against gringas from California. With my face shaded by a newly purchased sombrero chaln pulled squarely down over my ears, I trusted Bronco to sense that I was doing my best to fit in with local equestrian traditions. When my husband and I decided to spend a month exploring Peru, I knew that along with the requisite

Lindy section, rumba, tango of course, a Castle Walk [created and introduced by Vernon Castle in 1912; Soleau has rearranged the original steps], so were kind of showing the history of ballroom, because the tango and such came out of the Castle Walk. According to Soleau, Frank poured all his money into creating beautiful gowns for Yolanda. Some of them weighed nearly eighteen pounds and all were absolutely exquisite. Veloz and Yolanda were by far the best dressed, best looking dance couple of their day. They were so far ahead of all the other dance teams because they just looked better, Soleau remarks. He was handsome; she was beautiful; theyd walk onto the dance floor and they were mesmerizing. There was a real chemistry between them They were the glitziest, and most wellknown all through the 1930s. They made movies; they were pop stars. Its a great story for ballet because you have so many of these songs from Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Gershwin, all that. Argentine tango didnt exist in the 1920s in the U.S., says Soleau. The dance, he explains, originated in the brothels and barrios of Argentina and the footwork and all that stuff was very different from what tango was in America. Tango became popular in the U.S. via Rudolph Valentinos

famous tango scene in 1921s The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. All of a sudden that type of tango became all the rage, Soleau notes, but it didnt look anything like an Argentine tango. Frank and Yolanda like all the other ballroom dancers of the time came out of vaudeville. They put together their own routines. And, if you looked at it today, Soleau observes, well, thats not technically the tango. They created their own style. Adele and Fred Astaire created their own style; Tony De Marco and his three partners, Nina, then Sally, and finally Renee, had their own style. Since 1998, William Soleau has done, he believes, fourteen ballets for Rodney Gustafsons ballet troupe. William is a freelance choreographer and continues to be primarily based in New York City. His wife is a ballet master at New York City Ballet, and we arrange our schedules to take care of our Golden Retriever, he explains. When shes traveling, he feeds and walks the dog and vice versa.
Choreographer William Soleau, although based in New York City, has choreographed at least 14 State Street Ballet productions over the past fifteen years; the image on his computer is of Frank and Yolanda Veloz, circa 1935

Sergey was born in the town of Voronegh, Russia, a seven-hour drive south from Moscow, he recounts. I didnt want to [attend dance school]; my mom made me, he says with a laugh, referring to his introduction to what would become his lifes avocation. Explaining how his mother realized he had potential as a dancer, he says: Well, I did like Michael Jackson when I was a kid. I was dancing in the house and stuff, and she probably thought, Hmm. Maybe Ill
give him to a ballet school or something. I didnt want to do it, but I went to ballet school for three years (beginning at the age of ten). His family moved to Moscow three years after and he attended ballet school there at the Bolshoi Ballet (for six months) and then received a scholarship from the Rudolf Nureyev Foundation to study in Vienna. So I have lived without my parents since I was thirteen, he says. He spent three years in Vienna and won a scholarship in Lausanne, Switzerland that

Frank Veloz spent much of the money he and his wife made dancing as Veloz and Yolanda in the early days of their career designing and making the elaborate dresses she became noted for
allowed him to choose a ballet school hed like to attend. He chose the one in Stuttgart, Germany because the teacher was former Bolshoi dance
instructor Pyotr Peter Pestov. Peter The Great was one of the best teachers ever, Sergey says. He only taught men, all his life, and he taught
for over forty years. He passed away last year, Sergey notes sadly, not long after a tribute that was given on the occasion of his 80th birthday in 2009. He was this little genius, he continues. He was very short and [stout], and he only spoke Russian, so everyone had to understand a little bit of Russian. He was already old and grumpy [when I started with him], but he had a good sense of humor. Sergey says that people no longer teach some of the things he had to learn from Pestov, and has said that everything hes done since Pestov seems like a vacation. It was really hard stamina-wise. Other teachers show a combination and then you do a combination, but Pestov would insist on, say, forty minutes on barre, non-stop, which is crazy. If you can last through his barre, you can last through anything, pretty much. Teaching was his calling. He could explain things with just a few words. Sergey has danced with Carolina Ballet, Cirque du Soleil, Los Angeles Ballet and has guest-danced with different companies in Hong Kong, South Africa, New Orleans and elsewhere. For the past two years Sergey performed with Rasta Thomas Bad Boys Of Dance in a show called Rock the Ballet.
Playing The Bad Guy
Sergey Kheylik will not, however, be lead dancer in An American Tango. That role has been reserved for Jack Stewart. Jack looks like Frank Veloz, explains Soleau, who adds that, I only have twenty rehearsals to create the whole ballet and Jack is a pretty good ballroom dancer. Sergey plays the bad guy Dutch Schultz. What that allows me to do, Bill says, is to use Sergeys strengths. Its a fun part, because he gets to do all the tricks and hes good at that. Hes very musical and hes very dramatic. Leila Drake is Yolanda. I use Leila for everything Soleau admits. She has really come into her own at the peak of her maturity. And, she also has an uncanny resemblance to Yolanda. Kheylik will play the lead in State Street Ballets upcoming My Secret Garden when it unveils in New York City next month.

Llew Goodfield, staff commodore of the Santa Barbara Yacht Club, beams with pride with his daughter Francie Lufkin, recently elected as the first female commodore in the clubs 140-year history
and even the Santa Barbara Police Department. (Yes, you read that right!)
ts official: Francie Lufkin was just elected by the Santa Barbara Yacht Club to serve as the first female commodore in its 140 year history. The yacht club, founded in 1872, is the second oldest on the Pacific. Current commodore Dave Baxter just beamed as he announced the 2013 bridge (committee of officers), which will include the newest commodore, Lufkin, vice commodore Larry Leveille and rear commodore Joanne Gordon, who will take office in January.
Baxter wasnt the only one smiling. Francies father Llew Goodfield was beaming as well. Goodfield was Santa Barbara Yacht Club commodore nearly 20 years ago in 1996, so this election is also making west coast yachting news as the first father and daughter to both serve as commodores. Interestingly, the yacht club is also one of the oldest organizations in Santa Barbara and it predates virtually everybody, including Cottage Hospital, the Chamber of Commerce

Its time to talk turkey about the duck problem. She-who-shall-not-benamed has a mangle of mallards in her backyard and is soliciting advice for their removal without harming them. There are about 40 of these critters that have arrived for the winter again. There is a lap pool in the backyard, which is painted in a dark color rather than the traditional swimming pool chlorine-blue. So maybe the ducks are confused and think it is a pond? Already tried: covering the pool with a tarp (they enjoy it as a landing pad); sending out the dogs (who come up to the pool, stop at the edge and bark encouragingly, which causes the ducks to just gather safely in the middle and swim around in a tight circle until the annoying canines give up and skulk away); filling the pool with beach balls (the ducks pushed them aside and partied on); placing large plastic alligator heads to scare them (after the ducks scrutinized these carefully, they determined they make wonderful islands of fun to sit on and dive off from); and putting on a motion-detector rigged rifle-arm that shoots water (ducks fluttered up excitedly when those were first put to use, now the feathered fellows are used to it and enjoy it as a delightful special effect). I believe I heard that a remote control boat was used, but unless you have someone operating it 24/7, the boat eventually floats away and in general the ducks seem to get a real kick out of it. Recent suggestions not yet tried which may not be feasible: Bringing in a falcon and draining the pool. Anybody ever dealt with this problem before... successfully? Suggestions? Send them to egraffy@aol.com, reference Duck Problem.

Since he has been on several space missions with the longest lasting six months you can imagine how interesting it was for the crowd to hear and also speak with him. Valerie Harrison, who used to work in the space-aeronautics industry, brought in Dr. Chamitoff to share some of his story and images of his accomplishments and research of nearly 200 days in space, which included two spacewalks.

The turnout was quite unbelievable, says Julie Wilson, a network executive. Santa Barbara is known for its compassion and generosity, and that was shown abundantly at the event. Gala Goes Green The Community Environmental Councils fourth annual Green Gala at the Santa Barbara Armory turned into a much hotter event than expected. Already a warm evening, with no air conditioning and lacking fans early on, the temperature rose considerably when someone accidentally turned on the heating as 330 guests packed the building, which had been festooned in white chiffon by Montecito event guru Merryl Brown and made to look like a colorful scene from Shakespeares A Midsummer Nights Dream, with stilt walkers creatively dressed as trees to match the real trees with hanging moss around the massive hall and the servers, decorated with peacock feathers and airbrushed green with interlocking Gs nothing to do with Gucci! welcomed the perspiring guests.

Located just an hours drive away but a few thousand feet lower than the airport at Cusco (which sits at 11,000 feet elevation), El Valle Sagrado seemed a logical place to spend a few days acclimating to the Andean altitude after flying in from seaside Lima. Four nights there still wasnt enough time to see the many fascinating Inca sites located in the Sacred Valley, but its central location in Urubamba made Hotel Sol y Luna an ideal base. The Peruvian Paso is considered the national horse of Peru, and is descended from the mixed-breed stock brought to the New World by Spanish conquistadors. Paso means step in Spanish, and what makes the Peruvian Paso unique is its natuThe Marinera, the national dance of Peru, is sometimes performed with the gentleman on horseback.

This trademark gait is guaranteed to appear in one hundred percent of purebred Peruvian Paso horses, and makes for a smooth ride since the horse always has two, and sometimes three, feet on the ground. Peruvian horsemen are called chalnes, originally a title of respect earned by the best rider in a village. They traditionally wear white pants, shirts, ponchos and a finely woven straw hat cool clothing to reflect the warm sun of northern Peru. Felix, the head chaln at Sol y Luna, took me on a fascinating ride through the nearby countryside and villages, while somehow never seeming to attract a speck of dust or dirt.

great for the audience to witness this gigantic piece with such a magnificent artist. And the same with Emma Lou Diemer. I have a recording from the London Philharmonic playing this piece. I think its important for our audience to know this is part of our history. Beethoven 5 is one of those thats played a lot. But I dont remember the last time it was played in Santa Barbara. Certainly not in last ten years. People say its very familiar you hear the themes on radio, and in films. But as a live performance, its not something thats been done recently. I studied it when I was eighteen years old. Now after all these years, Im still very humbled about touching this old testament of music. These are the columns that symphony was built on. The 5th is certainly one of the most challenging. The repetitive motifs, you have to keep it alive and to shape it. Thats the challenge, not so much to create the musical sound, but to build it from the first bar right up through the final movement, in terms of the interpretation you bring as a conductor. You cant just lose control and let it go up and down. I think about how to invest the energy the right ways to make it a flowing process. That might sound a bit strange, but the architecture of the symphony is quite incredible.

The all-male Ensemble Basiani of Georgia makes its Santa Barbara on Sunday, October 21 debut courtesy UCSB Arts & Lectures, bringing ancient Georgian choral music, replete with restless polyphonic harmonies with shifts in mood, to First United Methodist Church downtown. Their rapturous concert will range from hymns to the Virgin to beguiling love songs, compiled via painstak-

CAMAs Masterseries gets underway at the Lobero on Wednesday with guitarist Manuel Barrueco, a 30-year veteran who has played in all the major concert halls as well as on TV including A&Es Breakfast with the Arts and Mister Rogers Neighborhood on PBS. Hell perform sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti, Spanish Dances from Enrique Granados, and works by Isaac Albniz and Enrique Granados.
SBCC Theatergroups production of August: Osage County, which won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award later that year, marks the first non-musical to grace the stage at the schools new renovated Garvin Theater. It also might be the most important play to get staged there until the next remodeling takes place. The darkly comedic play by Tracy Letts delves into a dysfunctional Oklahoma family comprising three generations that serves as a metaphor for modern American society. Achingly funny and unflinchingly penetrating, the play has been called a corrosive black comedy that deserves a seat at the dinner table with the great American family plays, by Time magazine, and lauded across the land wherever its been produced. SBCC has attracted Susanne Marley, who understudied the pivotal role of Violet Weston on Broadway, to play the character in Santa Barbara alongside a few students and several wellknown community actors, including David Holmes, the longtime drama teacher at San Marcos who hasnt acted for nearly three decades. August: Osage County plays Friday through November 3 at the Garvin. Holmes talked about his take on the piece which is being turned into a movie featuring Meryl Streep and

you step away from that and wonder why, the themes emerge. Pretend Im one of your students at San Marcos. What does Letts do to develop those themes that works so well? Obviously you wouldnt answer that for them, but Well, we just finished an assignment where they completed the sentence: In this play we must learn. I use that trick when Im directing, too, to uncover the larger issues. Because I always assume the playwright wants us to learn something. Ill pull out some papers and read you some random responses: If we want change we need to take charge of that change. Dont sit back and wait for someone else. Blaming others doesnt help the world and its problems, but we must accept what happens in life. Then you get some who are more literal: We must learn how screwed up a family can be. Not to be like this dysfunctional family. And thats true, too. On the literal level, its one of the most dysfunctional families youll ever meet. I ask my students, when you compare your home life, are you better off? You havent acted in thirty years. Why did this particular role draw you back? Can you tell me about the character? The last time was before I started teaching. In my first year here, I realized that high school drama is a boatload of work. It would be unfair to my students if I were splitting my time between directing them in a show and acting in another one Its a hard job. Now, Im at the end of my career, maybe just a couple of years before I hang it up. Im ready for something new. So when auditions for August were announced, I said I have to be a part of this show I literally wouldve

Julia Roberts in an interview late last week. Im told this is one of your favorite works, which is pretty unusual for a very modern play. What makes it so special for you? Its an important play for America right now. It reminds me of ONeill, whod write incredibly profound plays that werent just about dysfunctional families, but also commentary about American society. August works in a dramatic way, but also on an intellectual level. He uses imagery and symbols that we struggle to understand. But he doesnt tell us, so we have to interpret. What does this play mean? What is the playwright really trying to say? Im still learning more about what its trying to tell our world, America today You can enjoy it on face value, on a purely literal level. We get swept away by how purely mean and violent these people are. Its overwhelming. Its only when
taken any role at all just to be a part of this play. But then I found myself in the shoes of my students. Because theres a character I would have had great trouble playing as a high school teacher in a public school. Hes a pedophile. With the job I have I had to wonder about it. I found myself struggling with what would I do if I were offered that role. How would I do it? But then I had to remember its just a part, its not me. How could I say no if I tell my kids that their characters arent them? The character might be despicable but its not you. Still I was having a huge problem with it. I did decide I would play it, but I would have had to do something to cope. I would have been very awkward Instead Im cast as Charlie Aiken who in this family hes pretty much the sanest one in the family. So I lucked out.
As a longtime theater teacher and director who is familiar with the play, did you have the same vision for August as the director Katie Laris? Are you contributing or collaborating with her in any way? Is it difficult to take direction from someone else? Actually I found it pretty easy to let go. Katie is outstanding. She trusts her actors to do their homework. She molds it and influences it. I wouldnt direct it significantly differently. But it is a challenge because Im a takecharge kind of guy, and that isnt my role here. I have to keep my mouth shut and listen and understand what her vision is. There was only one occasion where I had a different view and I wanted to talk with her about it. I wasnt even in the scene. But she brought information to the table that

I wasnt even aware of. Even though shes never seen a production, shed done some research. It was very illuminating. I had a vision in my head from when Ive seen it. But once she explained it I was completely satisfied. So Ive not offered a lot of interpretation or analysis. We did talk about the productions I saw and the effect on the audience and she invited that from all of us in the cast. So I could relate how I felt when I first saw the play, and at each step of the way, and its shocking. I remember feeling almost disappointed that the play took a turn different from what I thought, and it put me back at square one to re-evaluate what the play was really was about. My expectations werent the reality. I felt that over and over again.

Have rehearsals whet your appetite again, woken up the acting bug? Do you think youll continue on with local regional theater after this production? It certainly has. I hadnt had to memorize a line in thirty years. Could I still do it? Would my acting be affected by having taught it so long? Would I overanalyze things and lose the spark that makes it feel real? I was concerned. But I think that it has come back. Im not worried about it anymore; Im staying focused in the moment. Its all come back. And its largely due to the caliber of actors in the cast. Everyone is so professional and prepared. When youre surrounded by that, you cant do less. Its fast and furious test of fire. That sure helps to get my chops back. Im feeling confident. Can we talk about San Marcos: Youve been there twenty-seven years, longer than any previous drama teacher. What keeps you going? The students. These kids come in and its all brand new to them. Even the most tired old play, they have a fresh take on it What doesnt excite me is the state of the arts in California in general. The politics of education stinks. I wont miss any of that. But I will miss the kids. If you cant find joy in this kind of job, surrounded by bright, excited enthusiastic young people, you should do something else.
Lit Moon co-founder Matt Tavianini, who returns to the company to play Alonso and Trinculo; writer/ actor Michael Bernard, who is both Sebastian and Stephano; and recent Westmont grads Stephanie Farnum, Nolan Hamlin, and Sara Reynolds, who play Miranda, Ferdinand, and Ariel, respectively. The staging of The Tempest is entirely new, but director John Blondell has retained the late Milon Kalis scenography, consisting of a number of hanging bamboo poles, from the original production, last seen at the 2006 Lit Moon International Shakespeare Festival. Performances are 8pm October 18-19, 25 & 27, and 4pm October 28. Also, Ensemble Theatres season opening production of Crime and Punishment comes to close this weekend, and while you might not want to bring anyone feeling overly stressed or depressed, its both grand entertainment and decidedly provocative food for thought for the relatively sane. Brian Patrick Monahan absolutely immerses himself into the always-on-stage role of Raskolnikov, the downtrodden villager who resorts to murder to escape both his financial and emotional constraints. Kvana Martinez as his love interest Sonia and Peter Van Norden as the detective both of whom also play a few other roles are also marvelous in this taut and haunting 90-minute adaptation of Dostoyevskys classic novel. More heaviness: Genesis Wests take on Becketts Endgame continues at McDermott-Crockett Mortuary through October 27. On the more upbeat end of the seesaw, Youre a Good Man Charlie Brown, from Ojai Youth Entertainers Studio, also ends its musical run in the mountain village this weekend, while Circle Bar B Dinner Theatres delightfully sweet and nostalgic Any Wednesday plays through November 4.

RTCs multilingual foray Rubicon Theatre launches its 15th season, dubbed Our Town/ Your Theatre, with its first Spanish-language production, perhaps also the first by a major regional theater company in the area. La Razn Blindada (The Armored Reason), written and directed by Arstides Vargas, is described as a powerful and poetic story about two political prisoners who transcend their oppressive environs through imaginative improvisation. The play, which premiered at 24th Street Theatre in Los Angeles, has been effusively praised in the Southland media, named by the L.A. Weekly 2011 Production of the Year, a Critics Choice in the L.A. Times and Critics Pick in Backstage West. The play infuses Miguel de Cervantes classic novel El Quijote with Franz Kafkas The Truth about Sancho Panza, and testimonies by director Vargas brother Chicho Vargas and other political prisoners held in the 1970s at the Rawson Prison during Argentinas dictatorship. Two prisoners, oppressed by physical and emotional abuse, find solace in meeting every Sunday at dusk to tell the story of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. The milestone production will be performed entirely in Spanish with English supertitles. WHEN: Opens 7pm Saturday; plays WednesdaysSundays through November 11 WHERE: 1006 E.

The Massachusetts-born poet a threetime winner of grants from The National Endowment for the Arts has long explored modern life through lingering irony, often confrontational humor and imaginative imagery. His contemporary poems center on more realistic subjects while maintaining an element of unique mystery and originality. The former Poet in Residence at Bostons Emerson College and 20-year instructor at Sarah Lawrence, Lux currently holds the Bourne Chair in Poetry at the Georgia Institute of Technology. A romance-oriented poet might make more sense for the cozy environs of the Presidio Chapel, but that irony is unlikely to escape

Reeves returns Dianne Reeves impressive and lengthy career as preeminent jazz vocalist successor to Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan hit another high with her appearance in Good Night, and Good Luck as an unidentified singer recording down the hall from Edward Murrows newsroom at CBS. But those in the know didnt need to see her astonishing performance in the George Clooney movie which earned Reeves her fourth Grammy for the soundtrack album to witness the breadth of her talent. Reeves has been recording since she was a teenager, and has 18 albums to her credit. Her powerful multi-octave voice, ability to create as well as follow rhythm with her voice, and a penchant for careening between musical styles all under the large umbrella of jazz have sustained her career if not quite made her the mega-star her talents deserve. Its been more than four years since her last recording, but her storyfilled live performances are ongoing, including a stint tonight as part of the Loberos Jazz Series, where shell be backed by Peter Martin (piano), Romero Lubambo (guitar), Reginald Veal (bass) and Terreon Gully (drums).

The Artful Recluse This new exhibition at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art features nearly 60 Chinese paintings many presented for the first time in the U.S. that reveal the private world of the scholar-painters who lived during the end of Ming dynasty (c. 16001644) and the early years of the Qing dynasty (1644c.1700). It was a tumultuous era of unrivaled historical drama and artistic achievement in China, and by adopting a novel, thematic approach centered

New gallery in Carp Hot off both the Avocado Festival and Focus on the Funk Zone, fine art, antiques and contemporary artists have another home at 500 Maple Gallery, located in Carpinterias own burgeoning Funk Zone. Longtime fine art and antiques dealer Carolina Pierpont is expanding her successful antiques-art-garden gallery showroom in Summerland to a second location a few miles south, a warehouse one block off the main drag of Linden Avenue. The opening exhibition, titled Art & Devotion, features religious artifacts and paintings from Spanish Colonial times to present day depictions, with works by Larry Powell, Marjorie Palonen, Sally Hamilton, Susan Price, Ray Cuevas, Marcia Morehart, Liz Brady, Rebekah Miles and Lorraine Serena.

A Midsummer Nights Dream, The Tempest, The Winters Tale, Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet, and Measure for Measure have all undergone similar treatment. Now the Bards cunning and somewhat controversial comedy The Merchant of Venice gets its own bare production downtown at Center Stage a month after it premiered on campus as part of the Lit Moon Festival. The work, criticized in modern times for its anti-Semitism, coined many words and phrases still in use today in the story of moneylender Shylock who gets his comeuppance after insisting in court that his debtor forfeit a pound of flesh for failing to repay a loan. Not to mention the many resonances with current events via concepts of debt, risk, recompense and other Wall Street issues.

Get thee to Gupta Not too many medical professionals would turn down a chance to serve as Surgeon General of the U.S., but Dr. Sanjay Gupta declined Pres. Obamas nomination to continue pursuing his passion for practicing medicine and journalism, a career that has brought him widespread acclaim far beyond typical in the health field. As CNNs chief medical correspondent, Dr. Gupta has covered some of the most historic and significant events of our era including the Sept. 11 attacks, Hurricane Katrina, tsunamis in Southeast Asia and Japan, and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. In the operating room, Dr. Gupta regularly performs surgery at Emory University and Grady hospitals and performed life-saving brain surgery five times while an embedded reporter with the U.S. Navys medical unit in Iraq. He also served as a White House Fellow and special adviser to First Lady Hillary Clinton, garnered the prestigious Peabody and Dupont-Columbia awards for CNN, and was named one of People magazines Sexiest Men Alive and one of the Ten Most Influential Celebrities by Forbes. Dr. Gupta, who will deliver an in-depth examination of the medias role in reporting on todays medical headlines, serves to kick off UCSB Arts & Lectures new Speaking of Health series, which features leading medical experts and journalists discussing the hot-button health issues of our day. Note: the event has been moved from the Arlington Theatre downtown to Campbell Hall on campus. WHEN: 8pm COST: $20 & $35 INFO: 893-3535 or www.ArtsAndLectures.UCSB.edu
all concept albums and well make it so bombastic and so over the top, Anderson said back in the day. Funny, but somehow the music still holds up. At least Anderson thinks so: he recorded a follow-up called Thick as a Brick 2 earlier this year as a solo album at age 65, continuing the story of the putative narrator/ Hes been playing both albums front to back in his recent concerts. Hopefully, well also hear other Tull favorites before the flutist fond of hopping around the stage ambles off for the final time. Also on Thursday, UCSB A&L presents the Santa Barbara debut of Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears, an Austin-based band that plays what it calls funky garage soul. The groups hip-shaking, soul-quaking blend of primal blues, soul, R&B and funk has been called lovelorn blues-rock with a blazing horn section thats as much James Brown as it is New York Dolls by no less than NPR. The Campbell Hall show is part of the new The Blues Sessions series. Either way, you can kick off the night with an early (6pm) show at SOhO with Kelly Joe Phelps, the rootsy slide-guitar singer-songwriter who shifts to the bottleneck rather than his customary lap slide on his new disc,
Brother Sinner & the Whale. With lyrics inspired by the poetry from the Book of Jonah and the vintage gospel blues of Mississippi John Hurt, representing another new sound for the alwaysexperimental Phelps. The Labyrinth Project, named for its Crete-base, musicians take listeners on a journey to unusual pathways inspired by the diverse facets of traditional music of Greece and the Near East in a concert at UCSBs MultiCultural Center on Friday, the same night Oregon-based soul-blues singer-songwriter ZZ Ward makes her area debut at SOhO, just two days after releasing her debut CD Til the Casket Drops. Also on Friday, a Halloween dance party at the Voodoo Lounge atop the Canary Hotel downtown. DJ Scott Topper spins the tunes for the dance extravaganza that also features a costume concert, cigar lounge, palm reader, photo booth, voodoo altar and more. Dancing Zombies welcome!

maintain their sobriety past five years, we have forty-seven percent of our graduates that do. Two-thirds of our staff are graduates. Board president Karl Willig told us, We have our doors open 365 nights a year and last year served l64,615 meals and 65,480 nights of safe shelter. There were 222 people who participated in our residential and outpatient treatment. One past graduate, Sherry Sanders, told us of her struggle, serving time in jail and losing custody of her four children. She is now a mom, grandma and a contributing person to society. Co-chairs Susan Hughes and Suzi Ryan scored a touchdown. This event raises about $300,000 each year. If youd like to help, call 966-1316.
Collective philanthropy is the touchstone of the Womens Fund of Santa Barbara (WFSB). Two hundred members recently toured three of eight local nonprofit agencies that
Changing Lives Together
were the recipients of their largess last April, for a total of $520,000. The visit included the Santa Barbara Public Library, Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics and Family Service Agency, while representatives of four spoke at a luncheon that same day. They were Easy Lift Transportation, Palabra, the Parent Project and St. Cecilia Society. The tour ended in the Mural Room of the Courthouse with a presentation by Court Appointed Special Advocates, the eighth winner. The stories they told about the children were truly heart warming. I joined the group at noon at the library where the lower level future childrens library will be located, which had been transformed into a charming dining room by Linda Stevens. As library director Irene Macias remarked, This space used to be a storeroom. The Summer Solstice Parade group has donated to the library four giant muppet characters that the kids are going to love. The tables were cleverly covered in corrugated cardboard for cloths and each place held a brown paper bag tied
with raffia. Inside was a salad from Fresco. The dessert was 650 cookies from the kitchen of Nikki Rickard. And to save even more dollars, Carole MacElhenny underwrote the lunch. As they said, it isnt easy transporting 200 WFSB women around, but it was done in three donated buses. Barbara Hauter Woodward chaired the whole visit. Others chairing various factions were Mary Garton, Dale Van Mill, Carla Whitacre, Sally Tannenbaum, Christy Kelson, founder Carol Palladini, Tish Gainey and Sarah de Tagyos. Steering committee chair Stina Hans told me, We have given $3.6 million to 47 groups since we began seven years ago with 68 members. There are now 600. Our goal for this year is $500,000. We already have $320,000. Betty Elings Wells has helped us greatly by donating $250,000 in 2010 and again in 2012. Betty will match 3 to 1 anyone who joins with an individual membership of $2,500. Group memberships will be matched 2 to 1 after a threshold of $350,000 is met. Kathryn Calise will generously underwrite our grantee luncheon next April. A member may simply write a check or volunteer for the jobs. One of the biggest jobs is the research committee co-chaired this year by Sallie Coughlin and Nancy Harter. They spent all year vetting over 30 groups.
Then a slate is put before the Womens Fund to vote upon. Results will be announced in April 2013. If youd like information call 963-1873.
First Thursday
Saks Fifth Avenue invited the public to meet Patricia Crosby Hinds (Pat), an internationally acclaimed artist, whose work was displayed in the store for First Thursday. Friends gathered with a glass of wine in hand to chat, mingle and perhaps do a bit of shopping. Saks gave 10% of the income for Thursday, Friday and Saturday to the Profant Foundation, Co-founder Marie Profant was there to explain how one could make a difference in struggling artists lives of all ages (one was nine and another 81) by funding a scholarship in art, music, dance, theater or literature. For more information, call 682-8184. Pat, the featured artist, is a graduate of the University of Colorado where she met her husband of 50 years, Bruce. With a couple of masters degrees, Pat was an art professor at Antelope Valley College for 25 years. After visiting her daughter many times at UCSB she and her husband moved here. You can see her work all year long at Mertens Fine Art gallery at 1266 Coast Village Road in Montecito. MJ 18 25 October 2012
Two female singer-songwriters duke it out on Saturday night, although with the timing you might be able to see both: Nellie McKay the former stand-up comedian and Broadway actress who burst on the music scene with a double album back in 2002 -- at the Lobero as part of the Sings Like Hell series, and Beth Orton, the Brit folktronica artist who received attention via collaborations with William Orbit and the Chemical Brothers in the mid-1990s while simultaneously grabbing critical acclaim with 1996s Trailer Park and 1999s Central Reservation. Shes been more of a traditional folkie since 2006, however, which is what well get at this solo show at SOhO. On a larger stage, the Irish/Scottish indie and altrock band Snow Patrol headline at the Santa Barbara Bowl in the first of three consecutive concerts in three days before the amphitheater closes for the season. Janes Addiction still around and still addictive return to the Bowl on Sunday headlining over Airborne Toxic Event. And on Monday, Bob Dylan teams up with erstwhile Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler, whose latest recording Privateering is a double-album the first of his career full of Celtic, Anglo and Americana that hasnt even been released stateside despite selling well overseas. Laurie Andersons Dirtday! gets
Kelly Joe Phelps plays SOhO on Thursday, October 18 (photo by James Rexroad)
its local debut Tuesday at Campbell Hall, marking the final piece in the genre-crossing performance artists series of solo story projects, a body of work that is both current and timeless. The new piece, partially a revisiting of the themes of Homeland and created around the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, finds Anderson
looking at politics, theories of evolution, families, history and animals in her uniquely soulful assemblage of songs and stories. Anderson examined that fear from a few different points of view, almost from a point of view like, what is it when a whole nation gets hypnotized? Another inspiration was the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the current election season serves as a perfect backdrop for the work that is both penetratingly political and strikingly personal. A far more mainstream view of the world from a female point of view can be heard over at SOhO, where Nicki Bluhm, a San Francisco-based country-roots singer-songwriter, returns with the Gramblers, which includes her husband, Mother Hips frontman Tim Bluhm. Meanwhile, Wednesday brings another terrific double bill from Club Mercy and SOhO in Neil Halstead (of Slowdive and Mojave 3) with the serious-yet-ethereal sounds of New Englands alt-folk-rock Winterpills, whose fourth album, All My Lovely Goners, is their first in four years.
Festival Focus
Two more entries in the food & drink extravaganzas arrive this weekend, although one is decidedly light on the
edibles in favor of power imbibing, so much so that theyre even coordinating transportation to and from downtown via Bills Bus. The Santa Barbara Beer Festival, which takes place 12noon4pm Saturday at Elings Park, boasts more than 30 brewers, from Anacapa to Wolf Creek, mostly locals at that, including C.A.R.P. Homebrewers and Telegraph Brewing Co. Kalyra and Oreana offer wine for those favoring the grape, but Judges Sausage and Cabots Cheese are the only food vendors on hand so you might want to be sure not to skip breakfast. Kat Devlin, The Mailmen and The Green Almighty provide the tunes for your sipping pleasure. Tickets and details at www.sbbeerfestival.com. Sensational Seafood at the Ty Warner Sea Center is all about savoring sustainability in this tasting event that features seafood harvested around Santa Barbara. Chefs from such fine area eateries as Cava, Coast, Michaels Catering, Seagrass and Sidecar prepare the catch and local wineries help create the pairings. Plus local fisherman will be on hand to give you the lowdown on fare from the sea, and how we can create a sustainable future. Tickets for Thursdays 5:307:30pm event are just $45 for students and museum members and $60 for the general public. Info at 682-4711 ext. 131 or www.sbseafood.org. MJ
