Wine, Sushi, and Tall Ships
by James Buckley
Board member Hiroko Benko and Maritime Museum Executive Director Greg Gorga invite the public to join them on October 2 aboard the Condor Express for a Sushi & Wine Cruise to help support the museums Overnight Youth Education Program
here are few institutions or establishments as worthy of support as the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. Established after purchasing the former U.S. Naval Reserve building from the navy (for $2.4 million), the museum, with 8,000 square feet of display space, opened in July of 2000. In order to make sure the museum stays in local residents thoughts, and to raise money for one of its signature efforts the Tall Ship Overnight Youth Education Program Executive Director Greg Gorga invites the public to join him on a Sushi and Wine Cruise, set for Sunday October 2. Participants will be leaving Sea Landing on board the Condor Express at 5 pm and should be back by 7:30 pm. Chateau Ste. Michelle wines will be poured; The Other Woman (an all-male band specializing in classic rock) is supplying the music, and a well-known Japanese sushi chef will prepare the food. Cost is $75 per person, $125 for a couple. Seventeen Santa Barbara County schools now participate in the Overnight Program, but Gorga stresses there is still room for two more (such as Montecito Union or Cold Spring School). We bring the tall ship Spirit of Dana Point, from the Ocean Institute, Greg explains. Itll be here for the Harbor and Seafood Festival on October 8, when the ship will be open all day long from 10 am to 3:30 pm for dockside tours. The Overnight Program curriculum includes a reading of Two Years Before the Mast, by Richard Henry Dana, Jr., and a tour of the museum before the fourth- and fifth-graders are mustered out by the crews First Mates who assign students their functions. They all spend the night on board, and some will go out on a dinghy to search for hides and tallow (whale blubber). Even if kids dont get to spend the night on board the tall ship, the Maritime Museum is a great place to spend the day. Exhibits include an iPhone app called Surf Creatures, put together by former world champion surfer (and Montecito resident) Shaun Tomson. Every letter of the alphabet corresponds to a different sea creature hes come across while surfing, Gorga explains. Weve even imbedded an iPad into a surfboard and Shaun narrates that, he adds. Another intriguing exhibit is the underwater archaeology site that shows kids how shipwrecks are mapped out. Its narrated by renowned underwater photographeroceanographer Mike deGruy, another Montecito resident. Other interactive exhibits include a working periscope, a sport-fishing experience whereby youll be sitting in the same chair that John Wayne, Errol Flynn, Zane Grey, Humphrey Bogart and others have sat in to catch real fish. Upstairs, in the pilot house, kids can steer a yacht in and out of the harbor; Storms At Sea is a video showing four different ships in storm conditions, including a Coast Guard boat thats designed to flip upside down and come right back up. Other activities include coloring, crafts right now, theyre making pirate hats , theres a hand puppet theater, kids can dress up like a pirate or a sea captain, build a boat, do puzzles, things like that. In the Munger Theater, theyre currently showing The Shackleton Adventure, and on September 24th, Accidental Icon, with the real Gidget, Kathy Zuckerman present, will be shown. If youve got kids, head on over to the harbor, enjoy a meal at the Waterfront Grill (where you can sit in warmth and comfort on its newly installed radiantheated and glassed-in outdoor patio), and take them into the museum for a funfilled few hours. And, oh, please join Greg, Fred and Hiroko Benko, and other Maritime Museum supporters on board the Condor Express for its October 2 Sushi and Wine Cruise.

Richard covered the Royal Family for Britains Daily Mirror and Daily Mail before moving to New York to write for Rupert Murdochs newly launched Star magazine in 1978; Richard later wrote for New York magazines Intelligencer. He continues to make regular appearances on CBS, ABC, and CNN, and moved to Montecito four years ago.
A Couple Close Calls

he tenth anniversary of 9/11 was a particularly poignant time for Mahri Kerley. Mahri, owner of Chaucers, the bustling bibliophile bastion in Loreto Plaza, missed being one of the victims of the World Trade Center terrorist attack by just 48 hours. The peripatetic businesswoman, who has owned her thriving business for 37 years, was in Boston for a convention on Japanese carvings. We were watching a presentation at the Seaport Hotel on a huge screen and suddenly the pictures turned to New York, where the World Trade Center towers were collapsing, says Mahri. It was in real time. One of the two planes that hit the Manhattan landmark, United Airlines Flight 175, a Boeing 767, which

crashed into the South Tower killing all 65 people aboard, had immediate recognition for Mahri. I was due to catch that same flight from Bostons Logan Airport to Los Angeles two days later, she vividly recalls. It sent shivers down my spine. Talk about timing and luck. Given the circumstances and the total lockdown on flights across America, Mahri decided to drive back to California, managing to get one of the last rental cars available in the city. It took four days to get back to Santa Barbara, says Mahri. It was almost surreal with all the flags draped at half staff and all the motels joining the national mourning, with signs saying God bless America and the like. I even took a side trip to Niagara Falls to try to cheer myself up.

tour guide and called to check if he had been hurt in the raid, or even worse, says Mahri. It seems he had been at the airport to meet visitors and the plane had been an hour late. But for that, he may well have been killed in the attack. But her near-death experiences have not put her off flying or traveling. I once wanted to be a pilot, would you believe? adds Mahri. I have ten hours solo experience from way back in the sixties, but I never did get my license. On a wing and a prayer, indeed... The Uninvited Guest Santa Barbara Zoo got a most unusual visitor the other day. A juvenile bald eagle, which had probably flown in from the Channel Islands or Lake Cachuma, decided to perch on top of the 30-acre propertys popular condor enclosure, much to the bemusement of visitors and staff alike. The enclosure is right next to the bald eagle exhibit, so the bird was obviously in the right neighborhood, says Dean Noble, the zoos marketing director. He seemed totally unperturbed by all the hustle and bustle going on. The condors were very inquisi-

But happenstance is nothing new to Mahri. Just seven years after the devastation of the al-Qaeda attack in Manhattan, she was staying at the luxurious Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai, part of a trip to India organized by the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Only four weeks after her visit, Islamic extremists, invading from Pakistani seawaters, took over the 108-year-old 565-room five star hostelry for 60 hours, killing 167 people, many of them foreigners.

Time To Move On
read the interview with Andreea Serban (A College President Steps Down MJ # 17/37), which contains a lengthy discussion of the parent-child workshops. I have been the faculty instructor at the Lou Grant Parent-Child Workshop for over twenty years and, although there is much I could say about the process of the past several years, at this time, I want to clarify one thing: the parent-child workshops are not SBCCsupported childcare. In fact, the parent-child workshops (PCWs) are multi-dimensional programs that offer a highly successful educational model with far-reaching benefits. The mission of the PCWs is parent education, which is one of the ten areas of non-credit education funded by the State of California. SBCC receives state apportionment for the instructional time for the adults in the parenting classes, who attend weekly lectures, learn in the preschool labs one morning per week, and participate in other instructional activities. And while most PCW students also have children who attend the preschools, it is important to recognize that the typical child attends school 10 hours per week, while his/ her parent attends 7.5 hours per week. Parents do pay a tuition fee for their children to attend school; this and the money they raise through fundraising pays for the operational costs materials, rent, insurance, utilities, and for the salaries of the assistant directors, who manage the childrens programs. PCW students come from all parts of our diverse community, united in their desire to participate in a unique educational experience. Students who graduate from the PCWs take their SBCC education into the greater community and become leaders on school boards, parent-teacher associations, and school site councils; they become coaches, scout leaders, politicians, and active participants in local non-profit organizations. Thus, through their commitment of time and energy, PCW students develop skills and knowledge they then give back to all of us, in the form of effective community involvement and generations of children prepared for academic success. Andreea Serban knows all of this or at least she should, because we discussed it with her over and over again. That she continues to repeat the childcare myth illustrates why our negotiations have been so frustrating and time-consuming. The instructor-
directors, teaching staffs, and students of the parent-child workshops are ready to move on. On their behalf, I wish Dr. Serban well in her next endeavor. Ellen Stoddard Santa Barbara

Thank God one of the newspapers had the guts to tell the other side of this story and rebut the destructive spin that was directed at Dr. Serban just prior to her forced and wrongful termination, and I have no doubt this is what it was. Dr. Serban is a remarkable and brilliant woman who has devoted her life to education. The way this whole thing was handled is a slap in the face to the history of Santa Barbara, and makes all of us simply through association as residents look shabby. The people who planned this sabotage on her career and reputation may be drinking champagne today, but down the road they will deservedly be viewed as manipulative bullies, violators of the Brown Act and totally untrustworthy. Secret meetings to destroy a career and a life is not something I recognize as democratic or even human in nature. I hope Dr. Serban finds a position where she can do great work and shine in the way she was meant to, and I thank her for her years of service to our community as the President of SBCC.

One Side At A Time
[Your interview with Dr. Serban] is a very one-sided article. It would be appropriate, especially regarding the parent-child workshops, to have provided comments from the Directors of the workshops (Dr. Serban omitted significant information regarding the 22 29 September 2011

teaching role of the Directors) and faculty of the continuing education courses. I hope the Journal will provide a companion article.

time we go to the ballot box. Best wishes Dr Serban for your continued successes. Thank you for helping us understand what happened. Old School Tie
Explanations needed
Thank you for finally offering the chance to hear Dr. Serbans side of the story. The specificity about the underlying issues was very helpful. Obviously, the long traditions of decency and fair play fostered by our grand old SBCC trustee Eli Luria were trampled in this showdown with the new SBCC trustees. Something went very wrong in how this all played out. Hold your head up, Dr. Serban. You were ahead of the curve. People like you are needed if we are going to finally break this public spending disease, freely throwing away other peoples money. I hope the next SBCC election will undo the damage of this last one. The irony of someone growing up in a former communist state getting punished for being a strong custodian of public monies should not escape any of us the next
Ahead of the Curve
One of the most common complaints about Dr. Serban is her almost total lack of communications with the public. She should have floated these explanations before making or proposing changes instead of just pushing through her agenda without making reasoned arguments in public. Without a reasoning behind decisions, no one was privy as to why she wanted to make all these drastic changes. She has only herself to blame for poor communication skills and practices. She may finally be learning to communicate but it is too late. One day I hope to be so monumentally incompetent that someone will pay me hundreds of thousands of dollars to stay away and not do my job. Until then I remain competent and less well paid. TR

A night for Carol
s Burnett? I ask. Yes, Jim. Call me Carol, says the voice on the other end of the line. Its a familiar voice, one Ive heard emanating from a television screen regularly for the past, oh, fortyfive years. Though it can never truly be said that success came easy to anyone, for Carol Burnett, its at least a half truth. By the mid-1950s, in her early 20s, she was making regular appearances on one of Americas first hit TV programs: The Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney Show. But, she did pay her dues; when she and her grandmother first moved to California, they lived in a one-room apartment with a small kitchen and a pull-down Murphy bed. I slept on the couch and it was right in the heart of Hollywood, she says. It was a block north of Hollywood Boulevard but in essence, a million miles away from Hollywood, if you know what I mean. Ms Burnett, who has called Montecito home for nearly thirteen years, will be honored at the Lobero on Friday, October 14 in a special fundraiser for the Teddy Bear Cancer

An aerial view of Hyde Road; the red grid shows the parcels contained in the area. The red outlined road is East Mountain Drive; Hyde Road runs through the middle of the map. The cave where the road splits can be seen at the top portion of the map, near the center.
t their meeting on Monday, September 19, the Montecito Fire Protection District board voted to direct district staff and consultants to move forward with the construction of Upper Hyde Road, including both the east and west forks. The Hyde Road community, located on the 200 block of East Mountain Drive, was hit hard by the Tea Fire in November 2008. Since then, eleven homeowners who lost their homes in the fire have been in lengthy negotiations with MFPD. The issue at hand is the private road that provides access to the properties; it is too narrow, apparently, for fire engines to pass through safely. Following the Tea Fire, MFPD denied the homeowners Fire Protection Certificates (FPCs), citing state-mandated fire codes which where adopted in the 1990s. The codes apply to property owners when new construction or rebuilding takes place; the older
homes in the area were built in the 1950s, prior to such codes. Without meeting certain requirements, including a wide-enough access road to their homes and an adequate fire suppression water system, owners have been unable to obtain a Fire Protection Certificate from the fire district, and three owners appealed Fire Chief Kevin Wallaces decision to deny the issuance of FPCs in December 2009. In February 2010, the MFPD board granted the appeals and issued FPCs, on the condition that all 13 property owners on the private access road enter into an agreement with the District, agreeing they will pay for the widening and maintenance of the road, given it is not county-owned. The property owners and MFPD also entered into an agreement with each other to establish a Community Facilities District (CFD), so the road improvements can be funded publicly through special tax levies and

bond financing, authorized under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982. The estimated cost of the road improvements is $1.5 million, the cost of which would be divided among the homeowners. After a special election in June of this year, the CFD was officially established, but after talks with owners of parcels on the east and west forks of the road, there was a disagreement on whether the CFD should span the entire length of the road, or stop at the cave, where the road splits in two. Constructing the new road on the upper forks would cost the homeowners up there even more money, as they would be required to pay for both a portion of the main road and the cost to build the road on the upper forks. Between the topography, chaparral and winds, we know we are going to have a fire there again, explained Chief Wallace during the standingroom-only board meeting on Monday. Given Upper Hyde Roads history, we need road access, turnarounds, and suppression water, he said. Fire codes state the road must be 18 feet wide; currently there are portions of it that are only nine feet wide. Lance and Carla Hoffman, the two people burned in the Tea Fire, were fleeing their rented home on Hyde Road when they were burned, Wallace pointed out. Many Hyde Road residents spoke up at the meeting, thanking the District for its help. This has been a long and arduous journey, and we are committed to moving forward, said homeowner Martha Collins. Sue Maurer Katnic thanked the board for the Certificate of Occupancy, and said she was in support of the CFD up to the cave. Several other homeowners, including Kevin Connolly, supported the CFD up to the cave.

he Yacht Club was abuzz with sailors and wannabes for the 7th annual Yachts of Love Charity Regatta to benefit Visiting Nurse & Hospice Cares (VNHC) Serenity House, a hospice facility. The event began on the Clubs lawn where mimosas were served while the public signed up for viewer boats to watch the sailboat race later in the afternoon. Chairman Tony Papa (past Yacht Club Commodore) did a great job of herding the folks out to their respective boats so they could all depart on time. After the races it was back to the Clubhouse for grub and grog a barbecue served up with live music, race awards and a raffle drawing. VNHC and the Yacht Club were also paying tribute to the late R. P. Richards, longtime supporter of hospice, who always donated the use of his 68-foot yacht, Taxi Dancer, to the Charity Regatta. When he found himself in need of hospice last year, he appreciated even more what they do. Interestingly, both groups (VNHC and the Yacht Club) have been around

Experienced Leadership For four years, I have successfully forged compromises at City Hall on controversial issues from marijuana dispensaries to housing density in the general plan update. I will continue to lead the way with common sense priorities, to focus expenditures on what really counts, and to protect the beauty and small town charm of our great city. Public Safety As your Councilmember, public safety is my top priority. Over the last decade, the number of police officers steadily declined. This year, I successfully led the effort to add four new police officers to the force. The police need the staff and the tools to do their job. Putting more police officers on our streets is vital to keeping our community safe. Fiscal Responsibility Previous City Councils had dangerously depleted our fiscal reserves just as we were heading into the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. As your fiscally responsible Councilmember I have changed our course. I voted against pay raises we couldnt afford, directed sound fiscal management of our citys dollars, and negotiated fair union contracts that protect taxpayers.

Summerland schools through grants written by various teachers. They are also helping with the million-dollar culinary kitchen being built in the Carpinteria High School. Weve come a long way from the home economics classes of yore where only girls cooked (meatloaf and cherry pie), to culinary careers for guys and gals serving exotic dishes. Patricia told me with a big grin, For the first time the event has been totally underwritten. Lazy Acres donated all of the food. The culinary kids were cooking up hot canaps that they passed out to the 400-plus guests. There were libations from Corktree Cellars, Wilson & Pettine and Island Brewing with music by the Rincons. The donor list for the huge silent auction and the sponsor list would take up this whole column. Superintendent Paul Cordeiro presented the CEF award for Outstanding Community Partner to the Orfalea Foundations for its commitment and consistent support of public education. They helped with the new Culinary Arts kitchen and with sCool Food initiative whereby kids in this district enjoy lunches made from fresh produce grown locally and cooked from scratch in the cafeterias.
The event committee made up mostly of board members, included Patricia, board president Sally Green, past president Paul Pettine, Mary Zeoli, Jane Craven, Cherie Dayka, Kathleen Reardon, Marybeth Carty, Janie Foley, Bambi Leonard, Ed George, Bryan Swarm, Leslie True, Erma Zuniga and Becki Gonzales. Carpinteria has a true community spirit as witnessed by the hundreds who supported Carp-a-Cabana, which raised $60,000.
Artist Award Winners
It was time once again for the 2011 Individual Artist Awards (IAA) presented by The Arts Fund in their gallery and parking lot, which was turned into a party place for the occasion. Thats in the funk zone at 205 C Santa Barbara Street at Yanonali. It was a full house, or should I say parking lot. Like in years past, there was music, wine and an overall festive feel. Executive director Nina Dunbar told me, This year seems different than last, because most of the artists are young and not well-known, and thats good. Gallery manager Catherine Gee was there along with 22 29 September 2011

Ivana Noell, who lives on the Upper Hyde Road west fork, presented the board with packets detailing the estimated cost for residents to pay for the road. She said the estimated tax lien on her home would cost $76,000 annually for thirty years, if the west fork were to be included in the CFD. If only the main road is constructed, Ms Noell estimated the tax lien on her home would be $21,000 per year. Both of these numbers are financially devastating to me, she said. She asked the board for a delay in making a final decision about the CFD boundaries so she could figure out whether or not to sell her property. These are the worst case scenario figures, Wallace told us later. He explained that in order to form a Mello-Roos district, an estimate must be given for the cost of the roadwork. The estimate of $1.5 million is high, he said. Jill Richardson, whose parents live in the upper fork, questioned the cost of the project, and said the CFD does not benefit upper fork residents. Her brother, speaking on behalf of their parents, added, I am not supportive of the Mello-Roos district. This is devastating: the first devastation was the fire and now the second is this MelloRoos district and the tax burden that goes with it. Once we have the Mello-Roos district defined and the homeowners

committed, we can look at how to save money, Chief Wallace said. I want to do this today! said board president Roy Jensen as he pounded his fist on the table. Its going to cost us money, money, money to keep discussing this! he said. The board members, Jensen, John Venable, and Dana Newquist, voted unanimously to construct the road the entire length of Upper Hyde, including the east and west forks. Attorney Mark Manion explained that the property owners on the forks would be able to sign off in opposition to the road construction on the forks and opt out of the construction; they could then have the road built privately if they want. This has been three years in the making, Wallace told us after the meeting. Im glad weve reached a decision and hopefully the homeowners can move forward.

new Board Members
The Montecito Fire Protection District has voted to ask constituents during the November 2012 general election whether the MFPD board should increase the number of board members from three to five. In addition to making that decision, if voters agree to increase to a five-member board, they will also be asked to vote
for new board members. President Roy Jensen, who has been on the board for 36 years, and Dana Newquist are both up for reelection next year. In order to have staggered terms on the board, if the number of board members increases, the highest three vote earners during the election would serve four-year terms, and the fourth highest vote earner would serve three years. The more people you get, the more headaches you have, Jensen said, asking fellow board members Newquist and John Venable for their opinion on the matter during Mondays board meeting. Vacations and illness make it difficult to make decisions with just three of us, Venable said. With a five-member board we have the ability to start committees of review of financial issues and other things, which I think is a huge advantage, Newquist said. He reminded Jensen that the board deals with millions of dollars in the MFPD budget, and that it takes a lot of work to decipher staff reports. The issue will be on the ballot next year on November 6.
More MFPD
Also at their meeting, the board looked at revised plans for Fire Station 3, to be built on the east side of East Valley Road. Chief Wallace and Operations Chief Terry McElwee showed the original plans to the Montecito Land Use Committee back in April; they are scheduled to be back in front of the committee October 4. Two driveways are proposed, allowing better fire truck access and better line of sight, Wallace explained. The 12,000-sq-ft station will consist of parking, living quarters, administrative offices, and an apparatus bay. There will also be a 32-ft hose tower in the rear of the property which will
allow for the washing and drying of hoses in inclement weather and allow for training exercises and hose testing. There are also two driveways proposed, which allows for better fire truck access, according to Wallace. At Aprils Land Use Meeting some members of the committee took issue with the two driveways, which still remain in the updated plans. I expect resistance, Wallace said, But its important for us. Fire Station 3 will have three firefighters on duty at all times, and it is planned a paramedic will be on site after the first five years. Leach Mounce Architects and Thompson Naylor Architects have been working with a firefighter committee of different shifts and ranks to formulate the plans for the new station. The station is expected to cost $8.7 million, which is $1.9 million more than originally thought. The plans will be shown to the Land Use Committee on October 4, and will be seen by Montecito Board of Architectural Review as early as November. The board also approved next years budget, and voted to send a letter to the Board of Supervisors opposing proposed creek crossing closings at Bella Vista Drive and East Mountain Drive. In an effort to lessen liability, the county is proposing that the creek crossings in Montecito be closed temporarily during wet weather to reduce falls by hikers, pedestrians, and bikers. On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to send a letter to the Forest Service and elected officials asking that the Santa Maria Tanker Base be brought back up to full service status, something Wallace has been working on for the last two years (see MJ #16/23). The base was downgraded to Call When Needed status in 2009 for financial reasons. The closure

new Crosswalk on San ysidro

This week, Montecito Union School students and parents began utilizing a new crosswalk on the corners of San Ysidro Road and Santa Rosa Lane. County crews finished striping
it safer and easier and encourage parking at lower Manning instead of on School House Road. While there are reflective stripes and new crosswalk lights, drivers turning right onto San Ysidro Road from Santa Rosa Lane are asked to take special care with the new traffic pattern. They are used to turning right without having to worry about pedestrians, Williams said.
MUS firstgraders get ready to cross San Ysidro Road in a new crosswalk
the crosswalk and installing crosswalk lights last week. In January, Dean of Students Dave Williams began looking into getting a crosswalk installed after being asked by the MUS board of directors. For teachers, and parents who walk with their kids to school after parking at Manning Park, it was inconvenient to cross Santa Rosa Lane, San Ysidro Road, and then cross at the MUS parking entrance in order to get safely on the path that leads to the campus. (Pedestrians are not permitted to walk through the parking lot.) We are eliminating the need to make all those crossings, Williams explained. Hopefully we can make
Crossing guards will still be in place to help students cross safely.
Debris Basin Work
Crews have been busy in the debris basin on Olive Mill Road, just south of Casa Dorinda. Deputy Public Works Director Tom Fayram tells us the project is to provide for fish passage, per the conditions of approval of the basin, which was constructed ten years ago. The project will divert sediment from the fishway, to keep the fish flowing, he said. Expect the noisy work to continue for the next several weeks; Fayram says the project will not be finished until November. MJ

Wednesday, 14 September, 2:15 am Deputy Springer was on patrol when a woman was spotted on the 1200 block of Channel Drive. Springer discovered that she had an outstanding warrant for her arrest that was issued in February of 2010. Springer placed the woman under arrest and transported her to Santa Barbara County Jail; bail was posted at $5,000. A report was taken.
Saturday, 17 September, 2 pm Deputy Smith was patrolling the area of Via Real and South Padaro Lane when a man was spotted staggering on the side of the road. Smith discovered the subject to be bleeding from a head injury. He observed that the man was covered in dirt and had little recollection as to where he was or what he was doing. However, the man did know that he had a U-Haul parked at a nearby gas station. Using the mans name and supplemental information, Smith ran a records check; Smith discovered the man was on a missing persons list out of San Luis Obispo County. Because of the mans head injury and welfare, Smith contacted Carpinteria Fire Department and AMR paramedics; medical personnel transported the man to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. A report was taken. MJ 22 29 September 2011

he original replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. will arrive in Santa Barbara on September 29 and stay through October 3, 2011 and will be set up at Chase Palm Park. The mission of all Vietnam Veterans is that never again will one generation of veterans abandon another. Spearheading the event are Vietnam Vets John and Hazel Blankenship, with their co-chairs, Don Matter and Peter Bie. John served as a Navy Pilot from 1965-1970 stationed at Cam Ranh Air Base after being drafted out of UCSB in 1963. Because of her knowledge of the French language, Hazel was recruited from UCLA to Saigon to work for the CIA. The two met after the war through veterans work. Dedicated to honoring their fellow vets who served, they began working on getting the Wall brought to Santa Barbara over a year ago. They applied for it in 2008 and wrote the check for the $8,000 application fee. Working

The Wall Comes to Santa Barbara
with Bie and Matter, they have dedicated their time to making the event one filled with honor and ceremonies for all generations. Created by John Devitt, former helicopter gunner for the 1st Air Cavalry Division, the Moving Wall is half the size of the original built in 1983 in Washington, D.C., making it 250 feet long and six feet high. There are over 58,000 names on the wall. The Wall is transported by a 53-foot van, and has to be constructed when it arrives. On September 28 at 7 am, it will be unloaded and built by the Port Hueneme Seabees and the volunteers from VVA Chapter 218. Guarding the Wall will be the UCSB ROTC, which has been awarded top ROTC program in the U.S. due to the support by the Pierre Claeyssens Foundation for their academic needs. Pierre, as many remember, was an avid supporter of the U.S. military, and honored them by hosting the annual Military Ball. Co-Chair Don Matter originally got

ing it here in 1997, 2001 and 2005. Don states, Our purpose in bringing the Wall to Santa Barbara is to share with our community. There are many who cannot travel to the District for one reason or another so this is an opportunity for those folks. Co-Chair Peter Bie, News and Public Affairs Director for Rincon Broadcasting, served in Vietnam, first as a combat correspondent for the Army from June of 1967 to June of 1968, then returning for a second six-month tour as a door gunner aboard a Huey helicopter with the 1st Air Cavalry Division. Peter says, Serving as the co-chair for this event is an honor. I jumped at the chance at the beginning of the year because I felt I owed it not only to our surviving vets, but to all whose names are on the Wall. The name of a high school chum of mine is on the Wall 22 29 September 2011
as well as several names of those I served with in-country. Every time I come to the Wall, I am struck by the power of its simplicity and its ability to instantly pull me back to a time over forty years ago; its hard to imagine we were all so young then. It is also a touchstone for many people today because of our current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, especially for families who have lost loved ones. I strongly encourage the whole family to come and to experience seeing and reading those names. We need to be reminded of their sacrifice and they need to be remembered. The key ceremonies will take place on October 1, starting at 11:30 am with the Drum Corps, Colors Presentation and The Pledge of Allegiance led by U.S. Air Force Col. Philip Conran who holds a Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart, the Distinguished Flying Cross and The Airmens Medal. Megan Wilson will sing The Star Spangled Banner. The Outstanding Vietnam Vet Award will be presented to Brig. Gen. Fred Lopez by MOWW Ed Holt, and the VFW Vietnam Veteran Award will be presented to Hap Desimone by VFW CSM Jonathan Church. The Keynote Speaker is Maj. Gen. Joe Franklin. The Wall is open 24/7, and there will be free flowers for visitors to honor their loved ones provided by the Women in Agriculture, as well as tents manned by vets to help visitors locate the names of their loved ones on the Wall. On Oct 1 at 1 pm there will be an Air Show with flyovers by Vietnam Aircraft: C-47 Skytrain, T-34 Mentors, CJ-6 Nanchangs, T-28 Trojans, A-1D Skyraiders and a fleet of refurbished Hueys flown by the Marines from Camp Pendleton. On Sunday, October 2 at 6:30 pm there will be a nondenominational Candlelight Vigil.

tiveand kept flying over to check him out. He particularly liked to watch the flamingos and did help himself to some wild cormorants near the elephants. To prevent more of the zoos smaller inhabitants falling prey to the new visitor, vigilant staff were on guard between sunset and sundown and a party tent, donated by EverRents, was erected over the otter exhibit to protect the newly arrived pups. After a few days, the juvenile eagle was captured by a certified wildlife ecologist, Dr. Peter Sharpe, who works with the Institute of Wildlife Studies. He has directed bald eagle restoration and recovery programs on the Channel Islands for 14 years. The bird, which had initially been mistaken for a golden eagle (they have similar plumage), was released in northern California near Lake Shasta. Obviously, the eagle knew that no visit to Santa Barbara was complete without a trip to our beautiful zoo! quipped Dean...
MiSCELLAny (Continued from page 7)
Art and Apps Santa Barbara Museum of Art has entered the big leagues with the opening of its new exhibition Picasso and Braque: The Cubist Experiment, 19101912. The stunning show, which unites many of the paintings and nearly all of the prints created by the two artists during two exhilarating years of their artistic dialogue a century ago, is a collaboration between our tony towns museum and the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, which exhibited the 16 paintings and 20 etchings and drypoints earlier this year. This is one of the most important and creative exhibitions weve had, gushed museum director, Larry Feinberg. This was a critical period
for these two artists. A watershed moment in the history of art, featuring works from Madrid, London and most of Americas major museums. Those institutions include the Tate, the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, the Metropolitan, and, locally, from the collection of Robert and Mercedes Eichholz. It is analytic Cubism at its finest, added Eik Kahng, exhibition curator. Visitors to the impressive show will be able to use a specially created iPad application, available free of charge, to delve more deeply into the art using ultraviolet and infrared light frequencies, which reveal features invisible to the human eye. Affectionately titled iCubist, the app has been developed specifically for the exhibition with the Goleta digitalimaging company, MegaVision. Among those taking it all in were Barbara Woods, Carolyn Amory, Robert and Christine Emmons, Virginia Castagnola-Hunter, Michael Armand Hammer, Cecia Hess, Mead and Betsy Northrop, Adela Rosen, Mike and Anne Towbes and Alice Willfong... Dreaming, Scheming and Engineering It is difficult to imagine that a global aviation marque such as Lockheed Martin, one of the worlds largest defense contractors employing 140,000 people and having sales of more than $45 billion, started on Santa Barbaras State Street a century ago. Lecturer Brian Burd, who was a contributing photographer for the Associated Press and The New York Times, brought it all vividly to life when he spoke to 80 members of the Santa Barbara Historical Museum of Dreaming, Scheming and Engineering, chronicling the lives of Allan and Malcolm Loughead the name was later changed to Lockheed
Tony Papa, regatta chair, says that $115,000 was raised from sponsors before the event, while a raffle, featuring a week at a villa in Costa Rica, would also boost the coffers... Its a Dog-Meet-Dog World
because no one could pronounce the Scottish-derived name. Brian, curator of photography at the Santa Barbara Mission ArchiveLibrary, recounted how the brothers built their first plane in 1916 with Irish linen! The town chipped in to help the entrepreneurial twosome build a ramp to help launch the flimsy planes, while another famous aviation name, John Northrop, an engineer who lived in Hope Ranch helped translate the designs into product. The Loughead Manufacturing Company, as it was known, started building 10-seater F1 hydro-planes which serviced California, but tried to spread their wings, literally, with a transcontinental craft, which they hoped to land on the White House lawn in Washington. Unfortunately, it crashed. Only five planes were built in our Eden by the Beach, says Brian, before the company moved to Burbank. But, sadly, there is no plaque or marker commemorating the fact. Maybe an oversight that might be rectified in due course?... Yachts of Love for USA Santa Barbara Yacht Clubs seventh annual Yachts of Love regatta benefiting Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care provided entertainment not only on the ocean, but also in the sky. As the event, which raised around $125,000, coincided with the tenth anniversary of 9/11, three World War II Viper propeller planes, flown by hobbyists from Camarillo, did a fly pass of the club while a water cannon boat from the Harbor Patrol gushingly saluted down below. Adding to the military aspect, 20 Marines from the Dark Horse Battalion at Camp Pendleton, who had been invited here by the local Navy League, went on some of the 40 boats participating in the regatta before joining the barbecue for the 200 guests, who included Jack Byers, Roger Chrisman, Francie Lufkin, Tom Parker and Greg Rogers.

Montecito philanthropist Marilyn Gevirtzs sprawling estate literally went to the dogs over the weekend. The first annual DAWG Founders Fund benefit, a new offshoot for the 20-year-old DAWG Dog Adoption and Welfare Group founded by Shirley Jansen, gave all 200 guests paws for thought. The new group, started by Shirley, Lori Cappello and Lesley Bloomer, is aimed at widening its scope and assisting smaller dog rescue organizations. It helps that we have a veterinary facility in town, which deals with animals at cost, explains Susan Caine, president of DAWG. As it is, county and government funds are practically zilch these days. We want to assist more organizations like Cold Noses, Warm Hearts, who rescue dogs from kill facilities and also help socialize them. The bustling barking bash, whose invitation was for dogs accompanied by well-trained owners, hoped to raise around $50,000 for veterinary care and other canine needs. Among those throwing their leashes to the wind were Tab Hunter, Penny Bianchi, Sally Jordan, Colin and Sharon Friem Wallace, Brett Caine and Diana Basehart... Bread and Roses The Fund for Santa Barbaras 18th annual Bread and Roses gala at the beautiful QAD campus in Summerland has become just too popular. Nearly 800 tickets were sold for the packed party last year, but this year ducats were limited to a maximum of 700. It was just getting a little too crazy, explains Carol Keator, who co-chaired the event with Geoff Slaff. The nice thing is that the event is accessible to everybody, with prices going from $5,000 to whatever one can donate, hence its tremendous popularity. No one is left out. With a target of $180,000, $115,000 22 29 September 2011

was underwritten by the many sponsors before the big day. And the live auction, conducted by former California state assemblywoman Hannah-Beth Jackson, with lots including stays in Kauai, Tuscany and Montana undoubtedly brought in the rest. Among those putting in their bids were mayor Helene Schneider, Jeep Holden, Janet Garufis, assemblyman Das Williams, county supervisor Salud Carbajal and Mary Ellen Tiffany... Walking the Talk
George Crumbs 19-minute work Vox Balaenae, with Spence on flute accompanied by cellist Ani Aznavoorian and pianist, Vicki Ray, was dramatically interesting in its presentation, while De Meys Musique de Table, which wrapped the first half of the show, was mostly noises derived from the hand movements of Ji Hye Jung, Svet Stoyanov and Michael Zell. The show ended with Steve Reichs 28-minute Sextet, a work for two pianists-synthesized and acoustic-and four frenzied percussionists. A most promising start to the new program... Royal Tributes

Don and Debra MacMannis launch new book
Child psychologist Don MacMannis, 62, has churned out three books in the past four years. For his fourth, Hows Your Family Really Doing? 10 Keys to a Happy Loving Family, he collaborated with his wife, Debra, a psychotherapist. It took twenty years to come together, says Don, a director of the Family Therapy Institute of Santa Barbara. Weve had numerous revisions and honed down the process. It is the culmination of our experience training hundreds of therapists. It was undoubtedly challenging. There was lots of debate. We walked our talk! Don is also a musician, acting as songwriter and music director for the animated PBS hit, Jay Jay the Jet Plane. The dynamic duo launched their new tome with an 85-guest party at their Montecito home... A Bright Start The always entertaining Camerata Pacifica, under artistic director, Adrian Spence, kicked off its 22nd season in grand style at the Music Academy of the Wests Hahn Hall. With theatricality reminiscent of British composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, the show, performed on a mostly dimly-lit stage, began with pianist Joanne Pearce Martin playing Rachmaninoffs short Prelude in C-Sharp Minor. 22 29 September 2011
Inspired, perhaps, by Hollywoods Walk of Fame, Prince Charles has created an eccentric tribute to the stars of his own universe. HRH has filled a section of his sprawling garden at his Cotswolds mansion, Highgrove, with busts of figures who have influenced him, many of whom would be known only by his inner circle. They include Debo Devonshire, former chatelaine of the magnificent stately home, Chatsworth, composer Sir John Tavener, Dame Miriam Rothschild, the late naturalist, and Kathleen Raine, the late poet. In Egyptian hieroglyphics on the archway are the words: The garden is a reflection of the stars in the sky. Elsewhere in the impeccably manicured grounds are the busts of Laurens van der Post, the late explorer and godfather of Prince William, and Sir Roy Strong, the former director of Londons National Portrait Gallery, who helped design the gardens at the princes country pile...

ing guests, and no doubt there will be surprise appearances by other actors and comedians whose lives have been enhanced by Carol Burnett. Q. Carol, your IMDb bio has you living in a boarding house when you arrived in Los Angeles. A. No, that never happened. It was a mistake saying that we lived in a boarding house, but I did live in kind of a boarding house when I went to New York in the mid fifties to hopefully get a break. I moved into a place called the Rehearsal Club, which was for young ladies interested in the theater. It had a downstairs cafeteria and it was terrific. It was sponsored by some very wealthy New York ladies

I do not know where that came from but that was my ticket to UCLA. How nice. Yes, it was. Speaking of television in the 1950s, what do you remember most about Tonight Show host Jack Paar?

At the time, he was U.S. Secretary of State. Did you ever meet him? No, but after I did the song. Scotty Reston, who wrote for The New York Times, wrote an editorial tongue-incheek, wondering whether or not I was a Republican or a Democrat. The following week, Mr. Dulles was on Meet the Press and I was watching it; they were talking serious politics and everything throughout the show and at the end of the hour, the interviewer asked Mr. Dulles, So what is it thats going on between you and that girl who sings that love song about you? I ran up close to the television set and there was a close-up of him and he had a twinkle in his
eye and he said, I make it a matter of policy never to discuss matters of the heart in public. Which was so cute. It was really very dear of him and I got a big kick out of that. How did you get from UCLA to New York? Well here was another thing where I knew I was going to get to go to New York. I didnt know how but I knew it was going to happen. I was in a musical comedy workshop on campus, and our professor was going to be honored at a gala dinner party in San Diego. So we would do scenes for musical comedies in his class. There were nine of us in the class and he said, Okay kids, you come down and be the entertainment for this party and Ill grade you. Thatll be the time Ill grade you. So we got a little caravan of cars and we went down to San Diego and there was this beautiful black-tie dinner. We got up and we were the entertainment; I did a scene from Annie Get Your Gun (You Cant Get a Man With a Gun and The Girl That I Marry). We finished, and I headed for the hors doeuvre table; I was wrapping hors doeuvres in a napkin, stealing them to take home to my grandmother, and there was a tap on my shoulder and I

So I did it three times in one

According to Ms Mancuso, the 78-acre Bacara fits nicely into Ohanas portfolio: Its California coastal, she points out, and its an upper-end luxury resort, which is the type of asset we like to own The property itself is absolutely gorgeous, and sits right along, I think, some of the best coast that that we have to offer in California. We see a huge opportunity here, both from an investment perspective, as well as from a community perspective, Ms Mancuso says. Its a place where you can bring your family, she adds, and stay for an entire week and do nothing but play by the pool, go to the spa, play tennis with one of our tennis professionals; theres just a myriad of activities that you can do here, and we have the facilities to be able to handle large groups. She says their sales team is already out canvassing the neighborhood with an offer for holiday parties and the upcoming holiday season for local business. Were out there blanketing the community with different promotions and packages that we have put together. The Bacara has many excellent facil-
arah Mancuso, Vice President of Ohana Real Estate Investors, is comfortably in charge of what may be a complete transformation of Bacara Resort & Spa. Ohana whose principal investor is a wealthy U.S. individual who prefers to remain anonymous closed escrow on the 300-room oceanfront hotel in July, having purchased it from founder and developer Alvin Dworman. An outside investor is the Rockpoint Group, a Dallas-based real-estate firm. Bacara was not openly being marketed, Sarah explains during a sitdown conversation in the resorts modern bar. Because of our situation and the fact that we had known Alvin Dworman, she continues, we were able to come in privately, and negotiate a deal with him and his group. Ohana (which means kinship or family in Hawaiian) has a portfolio of operating hotels, three of them being the Montage Laguna Beach, Montage Beverly Hills, and Montage Deer Valley, in Park City, Utah. We also own various pieces of land in California, Mexico, and in Hawaii that are in various stages of development, she adds.

ities that a number of local institutions could take advantage of, including a state-of-the-art 200-seat screening room, a lecture hall, a ballroom that can seat up to 700, a couple of first-rate restaurants, and locations galore for weddings by the sea. Its 300 rooms can easily accommodate large groups and even small conventions. In order to display its intention of community inclusion, on October 5, Bacara is sponsoring an Evening Under the Stars Open House, during which the public is invited to rediscover all the things Bacara offers. And, if theyve never been here, they can see it for the first time, Sarah says. There will be several different tastings from our chefs so they can show off the great things they do, she adds. Local wineries will be on hand,
pouring their product and Firestone beer will be available on tap. Andrew Firestone is expected to be among those pouring. It will be a chance for everyone to kind of get a little flavor from each different restaurant around the property and just reintroduce the community to the amazing food. Other events include partnering with Epicure Santa Barbara, an October initiative between the Downtown Organization and the Santa Barbara Conference and Visitors Bureau. Bacara is offering a specially priced ($150) three-course champagne lunch for two poolside in one of their cabanas. To spend the night, add only $49 more, for a total of $199 for two. Its a pretty amazing opportunity, Sarah suggests, and we have to agree. Beginning at 8 pm on both October 15 and 29, Bacara will feature a $20 Sip & Stargaze night, complete with telescopes and astronomers from UCSB. If youd like to spend the night, itll be $199. A special four-course prix fixe ($69 per person) dinner with wine pairings at Miro is also being served up for local residents during the month of October. So, if you havent been to Bacara lately, or simply want to see what this oceanfront hotel-resort-spa looks like, plan to come by the evening of October 5 for its big Open House. If you are planning to go, please RSVP at RSVP@bacararesort.com. There is no charge; they just want to make sure they have enough food. See you there! MJ

Thank you for finally allowing Dr. Serban to speak in her defense. Any reasonable person who was paying attention to SBCC recognizes that the four board members who railroaded her out of her position had an agenda from day one and refused to let the facts get in the way of the opinions of a few influential, privileged people who were enraged that Continuing Education had to share some of the cuts that SBCCs credit programs were already absorbing. The people who
supported her, not as Dr. Haslund suggested in the Sunday News-Press Opinion section that most faculty and staff wanted her out. Week after week faculty and staff spoke to the board about keeping Dr. Serban. Even former president Dr. MacDougall asked the board to reconsider. To no avail. The people who wanted her out had a vested interest in themselves, not in SBCC. The most vocal people against her were the directors of the day care. I am a tenured faculty member at SBCC with a doctorate and 30+ years of teaching experience. How does the director of a day care program with a BA make $30,000 a year more than the highest paid faculty members, for working about 8 months a year? Our former president went after a sacred cow. Our current board is out of control and is spending money like it was being printed in the art rooms. The four new board members have their own attorney attending every board meeting being paid by the college, they have hired a court reporter to take minutes, and hired a consulting firm for $80,000 to do a job search for a new president. They are the ones that are out of control. Peter Georgakis Santa Barbara

And to those people who feel ho-hum about this issue, your feelings reflect your allegiance, and it isnt to SBCC.

Contributions to the Montecito Association are not tax-deductible. Likewise, contributions to the History Committee of the Montecito Association are not tax deductible! They are nothing more than a gift to a private business. I look forward to the day the Montecito History Archives becomes a public non-profit 501(c)3.

Thank you for showing both sides of the Kardashian issue in such a fair way. You are very good and discerning who really cares on both sides. On all issues. We all love Montecito, and you are wonderful at publishing both sides of opinions how to keep its spirit and special character. Despite disagreements on how, it is astonishing that everyone wants to. There is a real reason this is still the very special place it is. Its we who live here. I love your paper. Bravo!

near The Douglas Preserve in Santa Barbara, and an enormous eucalyptus tree,right at the end ofMesa Lane,fell on the home of one of my neighbors, back in the El Nino storm of the late 1990s, causing substantial damage to their home, but mercifully, injuring no one. This past week, a 29-year-old woman was crushed to death by a falling eucalyptus tree,while sitting in her car waiting at a red lightin Costa Mesa. Thetree was over 50 feet high, and approximately three feet in diameter. According to local authorities, this enormous eucalyptus tree had recently been pruned and was thought to be healthy. This most recent tragedy is a vivid reminder of why eucalyptus trees are often referred to as Widow Makers. In my opinion, this illustrates why private property owners should be allowed to remove these shallow-rooted trees, in order to protect their families, if they so desire. Phil Palmquist Santa Barbara (H)/Montecito (W) (Editors note: What is curious too is how easily the group working on the new federally financed Safe Route to School on San Ysidro took out the large mature camphor tree in the way of the new path. Guessing its former size by examining its stump leads us to believe it was at least six feet in circumference, probably larger. If the proposed tree protection ordinance had been in effect, removal by a private landowner would no doubt have required months of approvals, appeals, and permits. J.B.)

Prior to attending this months Montecito Association meeting, I ventured to Montecito Fire Station 1. Geri Ventura reported that I had a few letters in my box. My question about the importance of the community Christmas tree was answered by the contents of those letters: Letter One Thank you for working to replace the Christmas tree. My daughter wanted to use her allowance to help pay for the new tree and I added a bit. An Anonymous Family Letter Two I have enjoyed the mystery tree since 1960. Hope this helps a little. Marge Wardlaw Letter Three There was no note attached to the check from Howard and Ethel Scar. However, this wonderful Jewish couple, that most likely have never purchased a Christmas tree, gave to support the tree. There are more contributions, and more are needed. But what those messages tell me is that this is not just a tree; it is a tradition, so we must replace that tree. With the blessings of the Hathaway Family, the new tree will be named the 22 29 September 2011
Don Hathaway Memorial Tree. With the Oak Tree as the Montecito Association logo and tying in with the Christmas Tree theme (probably a redwood), sponsorship levels have been established for Beautification Day (November 5) with 4 levels: Roots, Trunk, Branches, and Leaves. Names of contributors will be printed on the commemorative T shirts. Early Warning: I received a call recently from former MA President JAmy Brown, who says that corner may be swallowed up by the ingress lane to 101 once completed. So, I plan to meet with officials to determine where the tree may be placed, most likely on one of the other Jameson corners. Her call was timely. Unsure of the plans for the expansion of Highway 101, I was also unsure of the future of the new Christmas tree if planted in the same location. Unfortunately, time is not on my side.I may need that little girl referred to in Letter One to help me with the authorities. Dana Newquist Montecito (Editors note: Dana wishes to inform readers that nominations for properties to be considered for awards at the Beautification Day ceremony are due this month, and that Citizen of the Year Dick Thielscher has earned this award in spades! TLB)
I noticed a very pleasing change in the most recent edition (MJ # 17/37). First of all, I read it cover to cover and stayed up well past my bedtime because I couldnt put it down. Your skillful interview with Andreea Serban couldnt have said more, in between the lines. It was relevant, more gravitas.
its All Good
I always go to Letters to the Editor first and am glad youre printing more (Sundays New York Times prints a whopping six pages of letters). That said, because they werent on sequential pages, it took time to realize there were more in the back. Your in-depth coverage of the Montecito Association meeting was also welcome. While mostly accurate, a topic addressed at length was overlooked: the radical expansion of the YMCA, with only 53% of its members residing in Montecito. So who, exactly, is the YMCA expanding for? With so many other gyms better equipped, with longer hours, and far more convenient for residents of Carpinteria or Santa Barbara, the question is, why do they come here? Id like to comment on Penny Bianchis letter (Good News For Pharmacy Oak). I could not be in more agreement. When I moved here, it seemed so quiet. It is not. Like Penny, every day I am assaulted by more and more noise. Often, neighbors live out of town. When do their gardeners come with their gas-powered weed-eaters, leaf blowers and hedge trimmers? When the neighbors are not here. They wouldnt think of listening to 130-decibel noise all day (for reference, 130db is the sound equivalent of an airplane taking off). For six months, one neighbor hired a factory-size carwash trailer (130db) to wash his car collection, every Friday between 12-4pm. This monstrosity was not parked on his 6-acre property, but on the private easement in front of my house. He also continues putting up illegal, unpermitted signage proclaiming our private easement the Service Entrance for his house, whose address is that of a different street. He has four other entrances to his house.
When the Sheriff is called about these violations, neighbors are told this is a civil matter and that we must hire a lawyer. What does the Sheriff do (other than wear tuxedos to attend weddings of celebrities hes never met)? It is certainly illuminating to see in black and white what we pay these County employees in salary and pensions (go to: http://lgcr.sco.ca.gov). The last thing for comment is the Study Session I attended at 4 pm on Tuesday September 13 at SBCC. It was immediately clear that, while free to attend, taxpayers are not welcome at these meetings. In two full hours, twenty people said essentially nothing about the practical implementation of state-required budget cuts. However, after the meeting, there was another meeting. The other meeting was closed. One final thought. I urge those
like Penny Bianchi to come to the Montecito Association meetings. There are few my age attending these meetings. Those on the board (calling the shots) are at least 30 years older than I am. Their priorities naturally would not be the same as those of us raising children and teenagers, using our public roads relentlessly for work, meetings and school activities. If you want a say in controversial issues from the Caltrans-Hermosillo freeway ramp to erecting a gym that, clearly, is not being built for those in Montecito, show up at these meetings and keep me company. The next meeting of the Montecito Association is on Tuesday September 27 at 4 pm. The meetings are held every second Tuesday in the Montecito Library meeting room. Carole Lieff Montecito MJ

thought, Oh my Lord, Im busted. I turned around, and there was this gentleman in black-tie and his wife, very nice-looking in a formal gown, and they complimented me on the performance and he said, So what do you want to do with your life? I said, Well Im hoping someday I can get to go to New York, and he said, Why arent you there now? I said, Well Im working and Im trying to save up. So he said, Well Ill lend you the money. I thought maybe hed had a little bit too much champagne and I said, Well, gosh. He said, No really, heres my card. Be in my office next week at nine oclock in the morning and I will lend you the money to go to New York. I didnt tell my grandmother, and I had a friend drive me down I didnt have a car and I went to see the man.
COnVERSATiOnS (Continued from page 25)
tions: one, if you are successful, youre to pay me back within five years. Number two, you must never reveal my name. Number three, you must use this money to go to New York, and number four, if you are successful, you must also try to help other people out that you might be able to help. And that was it. So, I got some breaks in New York like the John Foster Dulles number and being on the Ed Sullivan Show and so forth, but I waited. I saved the money. I waited and I sent him a certified letter with a check in it, five years to the day. Impressive Years later, when I had my own show, I got a call from his wife. She said, We watched you and stuff and were so proud and happy for you. Can you and your husband come down and have lunch with us at the Yacht Club sometime soon? So I said, Absolutely. My husband, Joe, and I drove down to San Diego and met them and we had a lovely lunch and he was kind of a quiet gentleman and she was a chatty cat, a terrific woman. On the way back to our cars, I was walking with her and she said, You know, all these years, these past years, when you were on the Garry Moore Show and did Ed Sullivan and had your own show, whenever anybody

mightve brought your name up for any reason or we mightve been someplace where you were on television with friends around, he never said a word. Really? He would just look at his wife and wink and smile. So that was the second time when I saw myself in New York. I didnt know how I would get there but fate handed me an ace. How is it you came to buy a house in Montecito? My present husband, Brian, and I, our main home was here in Los Angeles and I said to him: You know what? Lets get a weekend place. Somewhere to go, maybe a cabin in the mountains. Brian said, No, Im not a mountain person. I would like
Were you worried that he was thinking of taking advantage of you or anything like that? No. It was his office and a secretary was there and all that. I went into his office and he said, Okay, Im going to lend you one thousand dollars. Whoa! Thats like saying, Im going to lend you two million today. I thought, Oh my gosh. He said, Now here are the stipula-
to be near water. So I had been to Montecito many years ago. I spent a weekend at the San Ysidro Ranch and I thought, Well thats a pretty place. So we went up and we looked at places and stuff and anything that would be kind of a weekend thing was just a teardown. They were not good. So the real estate lady Barbara Koutnik said, Well theres another house up here we can look at, and we both saw it and it was great and we bought it. We spent a whole summer there at one point and then we said, You know what? Lets make this our permanent residence and downsize in Los Angeles. So thats what we did. Do you have any favorite haunts in Montecito, or Santa Barbara? Oh, Luckys. I go to Luckys at least once or twice a week.

Anywhere else? We hit Tre Lune (on Coast Village Road) a lot, and we like Via Vai and Piatti (which is about to close for good); going into Santa Barbara proper, we like the Wine Cask and Olio e Limone For those who may not have read or heard this story, Would you mind telling us about the man who fired you I was fired for no good reason; we wore these funny outfits as usherettes thats what we were called then , they were kind of harem balloon pants and a fez on top of the head and epaulettes on our shoulders. We would march across the lobby
Oh, no. Oh yes. I said, Mr. Batton, its Alfred Hitchcock. He looked at me and ran his finger across his neck and he said, Burnett, youre fired! He literally ripped off my epaulettes. For sixty-five cents an hour, I was drummed out of the corps. So years and years later when they said, Where do you want your star in Hollywood? I said, Right in front of that theater (6433 Hollywood Boulevard), and thats where it is. What was the name of the theater? It was the Warner Brothers Theater
What door? The door that I was fired in front of; I wanted it. So, the people that were in charge got in touch with Brian and me and they took the door off the hinges and gave it to us and it is in our home. Really? Yes, with the old exit sign above it. The door is kind of hand-painted and its in our family room, here in Montecito. Oh also, years later, the press agent that I had was with Hitchcock at one point and he told him that story and Hitchcock signed a poster of Strangers on a Train to me. Thats in storage (we are renovating our home), but it will be prominently displayed. Would you like to say a little about the upcoming Lobero event? My friends Margo and Jeff Barbakow are very active with the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation and Margo asked if they could honor me this year. Its such a good foundation; theres such heart there. I get kind of embarrassed at these things in a funny way, and I was kind of reticent about being honored and all of that, but its a great cause, so I said Okay. I would love to do it. MJ

[Mr. Batton] looked at me and he ran his finger across his neck and said, Burnett, youre fired!
and one would go to the candy counter and I would be in the middle of the lobby directing the customers, Aisle two, straight ahead, or, The stairway to your right, that kind of thing. One night, I was in front of aisle two and the movie, a Hitchcock film, Strangers on a Train was playing and I loved that movie. I saw it about fifty-seven times. In those days, people would buy a ticket, come in off the street and just go in and sit down. There were no set times for people to come and see a movie from start to finish. Some people would come in middle of a movie, sit, watch it, not knowing how it started then watch the beginning again and say, Oh, this is where we came in, and leave. So I was in front of aisle two and its about the last five minutes of Strangers on a Train; it was going to start again in about another twelve minutes, okay? Okay. This is a very dramatic, suspenseful scene at the end of the movie where the two, the protagonist and the antagonist, are on a merry-go-round thats gone crazy and its just going round and round and round. You dont know whos fighting whom and whos going to win and all of that. Im in front of the aisle, the door, and this couple came in and they wanted to be seated right away. Well Im such a movie buff, I said, Oh, please. Go get some candy. Drink some water. Its going to be over in five minutes; itll spoil the whole movie for you if you go in now. Then she goes, We want to sit down! I said, Please, no, its Alfred Hitchcock. Its suspenseful. Itll just ruin the So the manager, Mr. Batton was his name, came up and he said, Whats going on here? He was not a nice man. She wont let us sit down, the woman said. 22 29 September 2011 at that time. Now, its called the Pacific Theater. Theres another great ending to this story. About four or five years ago, they were kind of going to redo or tear apart the theater because it was in great disrepair and somebody had found out that Ive been fired and I wanted that door.

Lille? Love it! Trinity Backstage Coffeehouse is the perfect venue for well-traveled singersongwriter Michael Lille, and not just because of the intimate nature of the listening environment. Lille himself is a triple threat: a terrific guitarist and Dobroist, penetrating songwriter and a solid singer whose deep voice evokes emotions beyond the literal meaning of the lyrics which often comes out in humor on stage. Lille has opened for the likes of Bob Dylan, Warren Zevon, Little Feat, Alison Krauss and Leo Kottke, to name but a few, and has also attracted A-list session players and friends to work on his recordings, including Jerry Douglas, Mary-Chapin Carpenter, Victor Wooten, Valerie Carter and Krauss. 2006s Suitable Disguise, the latest solo project from Lille who is also a member of The Sherpas with Tom Kimmel and Tom Prasada-Rao, as well as SGGL, a Washington, DC-based folk quartet with four CDs that have sold more than 150,000 copies was co-produced by country legend Lloyd Maines, who is also Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines father. Ruthie Foster and Sara Hickman appear on the album, along with George Marinelli (from Bonnie Raitts band), and John Hagan (Lyle Lovett). He melds mediations on love and loss and other selfexamination with tales from the road, including the lure and freedom of riding a Harley in heat.

Classic rock competition Yes, you have even more choices on Saturday night in another venerable act who first scored hits in the 1970s. Tower of Power, which actually dates back to 1968, has delivered a unique brand of funky-soul music that consists of a tight rhythm section laying down a danceable groove topped by muscular horns and soaring vocals. The dynamic band from Oakland is still going strong in its fifth decade, although much of what youll hear will include such hits as So Very Hard to Go, This Time Its Real, What Is Hip? Time Will Tell, Youre Still a Young Man, and Dont Change Horses (In the Middle of a Stream). WHEN: 8pm WHERE: Granada, 1214 State St. COST: $25-$64 INFO: 899-2222 or www. granadasb.com The hills are alive Head for the hills for the sound of music the Ventura Hillsides Music Festival, that is, presented in a natural amphitheater nestled against a sheer cliff in Venturas Arroyo Verde Park. The ninth annual event, as might be appropriate for an outdoor concert that raises funds to help preserve and protect open spaces, is very top(soil)-heavy with rootsy music this time around, with Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Blind Boys of Alabama and David Lindley comprising the bill. Robinsons band his solo project separate from his work with the Black Crowes woodshedded during the late spring with weekly gigs over two months at SOhO and other SoCal clubs and is now out on a nationwide tour playing heady, jam-band-style stuff that blends CSN and other SoCal airy melodies and harmonies with Bay Area Grateful Dead-era psychedelia thats also fully danceable and funky. The Fab T-Birds, of course, are the veteran American RnB-Southern rock band headed by Goleta-raised vocalist-harmonica player Kim Wilson. The Blind Boys are the five-time Grammy Award-winning seven-decades-old old gospel and blues outfit that still features at least one original member, and Lindley needs no introduction to locals, who have found wonder and awe in the multiinstrumentalist (Kona and Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turkish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern oud, and Irish bouzouk are among his favorites) and ethnomusicologists musings for decades. As always, bring blankets and/or low-back chairs (under 22) and picnics and small coolers are okay, but no glass or alcohol (food and beverages will be available for purchase). WHEN: 1-6pm WHERE: 5000 Foothill Road, Ventura (free parking will be provided at Ventura College with free shuttle buses to the concert site) COST: $45 general admission, $150 Gold Circle (includes special VIP seating and a souvenir chair to take home) INFO: 643-8044 or www. venturahillsides.org/festival Dogs, rabbits & pigs, oh my! Two different festivals taking place today in park-like settings celebrate our friends in the animal kingdom. The 3rd Annual Dog Festival at Elings Park features lots of exhibits, seven dog contests, including one for best costume, demonstrations in agility, flyball, and police work and adoptable rescue dogs for you to bond with. The big highlight of the day is the Great Ball Drop raffle when the Santa Barbara Fire Department hoists more than 1,500 numbered tennis balls up into the air and drops them over a specially designed prize board. This years grand
Forty years on Don Henley is one of those rare artists who achieved massive success as a member of a group, and then remained just as popular as a solo act, at which by now hes spent a lot more time than he did with the Eagles, even counting reunions. As a founding member, main vocalist and songwriter of the legendary quintet, Henley helped pioneer California country-rock back in the 1970s, contributing to a group that sold a phenomenal number of records (the Eagles original Greatest Hits LP rests at No. 2 on the list of alltime best-selling albums, having moved nearly 30 million copies in the United States alone). But Henleys solo career is nothing to sneeze at either. With hits such as Dirty Laundry, Heart Of The Matter, Boys Of Summer, The End Of The Innocence and All She Wants To Do Is Dance, Henley threw a bunch more songs and albums on the chart. While he hasnt put out any new material in over 11 years, Henley remains one of the most popular musicians on classic rock radio. Opening for Henley at the Santa Barbara Bowl one of his favorite haunts is the equally veteran singer-songwriter Emmylou Harris, who began her career as the harmony singer alongside the man who preceded and presaged the Eagles: Gram Parsons. Harris has never stopped growing, however, as she regularly records and releases new albums that show an ever-evolving outlook on life, constantly coming up with candid songs and elegant performances that resonate with her fans both old and new. Henley and Harris (playing with her current band of roots-rock country stalwarts called the Red Dirt Boys) both turned 64 this year, and yeah, we still need them.

Romance classics Santa Barbara-based violinist Nina Bodnar and Los Angeles pianist Robert Thies team up for an afternoon of works from the Romantic era in classical music as part of the Song Trees burgeoning new Sunday afternoon series. The Brahms G Major Sonata and another by Debussy make up the heavyweights in the program, with the Chausson Poeme, selections from Gershwin-Heifetzs Porgy and Bess and pieces by Kreisler round out the selections. A native of Santa Barbara, Bodnar served as concertmaster of the Santa Barbara Symphony and the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra for several years before being appointed concertmaster of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra under the direction of (recent Music Academy of the West favorite) Leonard Slatkin in 1989, a position she held until 1995. As a soloist and chamber musician, she appeared with symphony orchestras throughout the world, and was also a regular member of the Santa Fe and Strings in the Mountains (Steamboat Springs, Colorado) Chamber Music Festivals for several years. Back in Santa Barbara, Bodnar now spends the bulk of her work time teaching the next generation of violinists. Thies first captured worldwide attention in 1995 when he won the Gold Medal at the Second International Prokofiev Competition in St. Petersburg, Russia the only American pianist to win first prize in a Russian piano competition since Van Cliburns famed triumph in Moscow in 1958. Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as a pianist of unerring, warm-toned refinement, revealing judicious glimmers of power, Thies performs as an orchestral soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician in Southern California and around the world, including soloing on more than 40 concerti across the globe.

Chicken Scratch
by Jim Alexander
he older I get, the more my penmanship resembles that of a left-handed serial killer. In an attempt to improve my chicken scratch Ive tried to write faster; Ive slowed my cursive down to a crawl; Ive experimented with fine-tip nibs and hulking ballpoints, but in the end my scrawl still resembles something a ninety-seven-year-old Katharine Hepburn mightve penned while riding in the back of a dune buggy. In my youth, my penmanship was passable (in the third grade a compassionate Mrs. Heckler gave me a C+), but its pretty much declined every year since. Its not just age catching up to me. Most males dont stand a chance. Ive always believed that good

penmanship, like dancing, has more to do with gender than anything. As early as the first grade I noticed that all the girls intuitively knew how to dance the twist and how to hold a pen, while most boys scratched themselves out of rhythm and grasped their pencils like Neanderthals gripping a barbequed rib. Whereas my female classmates wielded their writing instruments like magic plumes, I instinctively stuck my pencil in my mouth and bit down, later marveling for hours at my teeth marks. I had a female classmate in the third grade, lets call her Nancy Pepitone, who was a few watts short of a nightlight and not the most coordinated eight-year-old, but she could write better than any boy. Nancy was so uncoordinated shed actually strike out playing kickball, and when it was her turn to clap the erasers we all took cover under our desks, but her cursive was so beautiful it brought tears to Mrs. Hecklers eyes. By the time we graduated sixth grade, most of my female classmates were adept at calligraphy, while if youd had asked most boys theyd have told you that calligraphy was a Roman emperor. My penmanship-gender theory still holds up today. Who do you think has better cursive, Albert Einstein or Britney Spears? Steve Jobs or Paris Hilton? President Obama or Octomom? Case closed. Somewhere around junior high most boys give up on cursive and revert to printing. This is a major step in a young mans development. Eliminating cursive leaves us with enough leisure time to grow hair in strange places and to
dies and forge our parents signature on our school absence excuse. We get caught, of course, except Robbie who was smart enough to have his twelveyear-old sister forge his note. Eventually we grow older and get kicked out of our parents house and we have to break out our cursive again to write personal checks, sign automobile contracts, and arrange bail. Even though we havent so much as signed our name in several years, we spend about as much time practicing as we do learning Cantonese. Still, we get by with our scribbly signature because we have a cool, steady hand, and were males, so no one expects too much. However, as time goes by our hand becomes progressively uncool and less steady. In my case, somewhere around the age of fifty-seven, Lora and I cosigned a document for our daughter to buy a Kenmore washer on payments, and Lora looked at my signature and asked, Who the hell is Janwts Robtic Alevvanyi? And it only gets worse from there. My signature has become so rickety it embarrasses me more than my SATs. For one thing, I can (and do) lie about my SATs, but my signature is right out there for every bank teller and bankruptcy clerk to see. I can imagine only one viable solution and thats to legally change my name to ~. And one last word about Nancy Pepitone. I heard that Nancy recently retired as VP of a highly respected Bay Area company while Im still painting houses. So much for my other theory that kickball skills will get you further than beautiful penmanship. MJ MONTECITO JOURNAL

Come Fly with Me
by Steven Libowitz
You have to know how the body aligns and is connected, and also be a good judge to know what movement represents flight and is also pleasant to see. Ive spent most of my life working on that, and it is very complicated. What do you attempt to explore, reveal, experience or teach us with this work? When I saw a movie as a kid, Id get really inspired. When theyre really good, youre taken somewhere for two hours and you dont want to leave. When you see something that opens your imagination and moves you emotionally which this show does it gives you an extra incentive to open up more to the world. That is how we want to make people feel. (Cirque Wings performs at 4 & 8pm Saturday at the Arlington. Tickets are $25-$65; children age 2-12 are free with a paid adult ticket. Call 963-4408 or visit www.thearlingtontheatre. com/details/189-cirque-wings)
only Shakespeare can, she expresses her rage, hurt and anger and loss so poetically. Who doesnt get angry or feel disappointment? To express it that way was truly profound... And it was a chance to do Shakespeare while also doing movement. How do you think that relates to women here and now? Look at the women who are in office today and what it takes to be in charge. She had to manipulate her political scene. Thats still going on today... How do women take command of our lives? One way is to do plays like this and push yourself up against the wall with the work. Youre lucky youre not my husband I was screaming at him just the other day, its been so stressful. Art imitates life or the other way around. Theres no way your stuff isnt going to come up. Your own emotional angst has to emerge. You just work with it, and apply it to the process. And the creative process is messy. But its been such a challenge for me to take so much command. Tell me about your preparation for this role. Ive immersed myself in the material, read a lot of books on the Wars of the Roses and the era, investigating what court life was like back then. And Im always asking: what am I saying, what does it mean, how can I bring my own truth to it? You mentioned movement earlier. How does that fit in? DramaDogs is a very physicallyoriented company. Movement and dance are big components of what I do... I created a similar piece about my grandmother for the recent SB Adapt festival, where I was talking and moving, bringing the character to life, physicalizing her while also speaking to her. Were incorporating the same thing here... Were also asking the audience to suspend disbelief in that theres a time-outof-time quality. Sometimes I talk to the audience directly like theyre my best friends This is what happened. Other times Im in the moment almost reliving it. The goal is to go on this womans life journey through Shakespeares eyes. Can you tell me about the creative process? Jinny and I sat and talked about it for quite a while. Then she went off to write and I gave her lots of feedback then shed write more and Id ask more questions, about where we were going with the arc, and the characters motivation. The whole idea started three years ago, and weve been actively working on it for the last six months... Its still a work in 22 29 September 2011
irector and choreographer Ivo Gueorguiev and his partner, Jill Hansen, the companys manager and aerial performer, have created the Cirque Wings show to create the illusion of flight on stage at the historic theater, a show that has been many month and thousands of years in the making. Gueorguiev, who has more than 40 years experience including originating flying on fabric in a stint with Dralion with the famed Cirque de Soleil, discussed the new production over the telephone last weekend. Q. How did you get started in aerial arts? A. I was a gymnast growing up in Bulgaria. I spent ten years at Olympic Hopefuls where we had intense practice eight hours a day with regular school in the middle only for three hours. Then I joined the circus when I was twenty, and have been performing since, which makes it twentynine years... I worked with Ringling Brothers in 1984-85, in a troupe of ten people. We did two acts, one was a Russian swing, jump on a platform and do somersaults, and the other was an acrobatics team. I also did handbalancing as my main act for twentyfive years and then the rings before I started flying on fabric. Theres been an explosion in these European-style cirque shows. Why is that? Its getting more popular everywhere. Its even becoming something of a fitness exercise. I have created a program called Cirque Towel Fitness.

Much Ado About Margaret
Steven Libowitz has reported on the arts and entertainment for more than 30 years; he has contributed to Montecito Journal for nearly ten years.
You can get a much better workout with your own weight than you can by going to the gym. Thats what I did for thirty years. But the bad thing about it is the cheap imitations, and sometimes they use people who arent the right ones for this kind of act. They dont know what it takes to do the shows correctly. What was the genesis of this show? Its based on flying we look at how and where flying took place and in what form. It goes back to ancient China where people first flew kites thats the original, and then to da Vinci and his attempts to fly with his apparatus. We finish with the Wright Brothers. There is an underlying line of the history and events of flying, but its also more about the passion for flying and for movement. There are limits to what you can do physically when suspended above the ground. How do you choreograph for aerial dancing? Thats a great question. Its the most difficult thing to defy gravity with grace. It takes a lot of knowledge; you need to understand basics of gymnastics and acrobatics and acting and dancing and lighting and costumes.
Queen Undaunted: Margaret of Anjou is a brand-new one-woman show that aims to synthesize the life and accomplishments of the 15th century teenager turned Queen of England, who was the only person to appear in four of Shakespeares plays and one of the most powerful female figures of the era. The work, which has its debut at Center Stage Theatre this weekend, is a collaboration between actress E. Bonnie Lewis of DramaDogs and Santa Barbara playwright Jinny Webber, professor emeritus at SBCC, who combines some of Shakespeares dialogue for Margaret with what other characters said to and about her, with original material using iambic pentameter and Shakespeares style to create continuity. Lewis talked about the show earlier this week. Q. Why were you drawn to this character and this work? A. As an actor, Ive always wanted to do Shakespeare... Ive always been intrigued by the language, as challenging as it is. Its filtered in and out and around my life. And Margarets in four of his plays, the only woman he gave such homage to... Margaret speaks to me because of her power and her courage and her command. Shes back in the fifteenth century, a woman taking charge in a world that really is ruled by men. How she does it is just totally intriguing to me. We go on a life journey with her, from her time as a young girl and then she ends up fighting the civil war, the Wars of the Roses, an important historical figure of strength... Thats why I was initially attracted to her, because as

process. Well see how the audience responds, but she wont die after these three shows. Im definitely going to bring her back and take her around and about. What do you hope audiences take away? First of all to be entertained, but also to be curious to leave with wondering and wanting to know more of who this woman was, and maybe a bit inspired that we can survive what life gives us. (Queen Undaunted performs at 2 & 8pm Saturday, and 2pm Sunday, at the Center Stage Theater. Tickets cost $10-$20. Call 963-0408 for info)

Ha Ha Shana Tova!: What with the Jewish New Year approaching, we just couldnt resist appropriating the subtitle (a play on words for the holiday greeting in Hebrew) of
the latest periodic All Star Comedy Night at the Jewish Community Center, where a Pre-High Holiday Hilarity Celebration brings lots of Los Angeles talent to downtown Santa Barbara for one night only. De-motivational speaker Dana Eagle who has appeared on The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Comedy Central, and Byron Allens Comics Unleashed, as well as opened frequently for Bill Mahers live performances with Grant Lyon, locallybased MC Louise Weezy Palanker and some of her advanced Comedy Club students also on the bill. Snack food and drinks are provided for this family friendly evening, which takes place 6-8pm Thursday, September 22, and costs just $8 in advance, $10 at the door ($4/$5 students & seniors). Byrne to laugh: Stand-up comic Steve Byrne was born to a Korean mother and an Irish father, which might have been confusing to some, but instead provided him with lots
of material that he still employs. It took him a while to get started on stage, but after winning the MySpace Standup or Sitdown Comedy Challenge, Byrne moved up quickly, landing a solo special on Comedy Central in 2008 titled Steve Byrnes Happy Hour and a follow-up just last summer called The Byrne Identity. He was also featured on the NBC series The Real Wedding Crashers, and has appeared on The Tonight Show, The Late, Late Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Last Call with Carson Daly, Good Morning America and a Super Bowl promo on CBS with Prince and Bill Cowher. The comic, who has also appeared in the movies The Dilemma, Couples Retreat and Four Christmases, comes to a rare comedy night at SOhO for two separate seatings, at 7:30 & 9:30pm on Wednesday. Admission is $10 for those old enough to drink, and $15 if youre 18-20, plus minimums at the tables.

In the live portion of the event, which is taking place in Los Angeles, Goodall will talk with music legend Dave Matthews about their experiences in the field, and with actress Charlize Theron about her very first few days in Africa as a 26-year-old woman, plus interact with the astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Admission to the digitallydelayed simulcast at 8pm is $15. MJ
