S
ay it aint so, Dolly (Andys
wife of 56 years)! But it is so.
Apparently. Andy Granatelli,
the brash young STP fuel additive
spokesman, the super salesman
who could sell air-conditioners to
Eskimos, heat lamps to equatorial
inhabitants, inveterate Indy 500 lover,
owner-winner of two Indianapolis
500 race car teams, the man who,
more than any other, made Indy car
racing a national pastime and a TV
ratings bonanza, about to turn 90?
The big Nine-O? That Andy? The
man with the gruff unreconstructed
Chicago accent? That guy? The man
who regularly shamed fundraiser attendees into donating more money for
whatever non-profit he was promoting than any attendee ever believed he or
she would give? The generous, lovable, wet-lipped, teddy-bear-shaped uber
personality with the big smile, firm handshake and steady gaze?
Yep. That guy.
Theres lots more to say about Andy Granatelli, but well save that for another
time.
In the meantime, however, well simply say:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANDY (turn to page 19 for more from other friends)!
Welcome Back JAmy
Lord knows why anyone whod been
in the public eye for any length of
time JAmy Brown was president of
the Montecito Association in 2004 and
2005 and had found quiet and pos-
sibly contentment out of the public eye
since she stepped down eight years
ago would want to return to public
scrutiny.
But, she has returned for more!
This time as a Montecito Planning
Commissioner, named as such by First
District Supervisor Salud Carbajal,
who she has known and worked with for over a decade, beginning when Mr.
Carbajal was former First District Supervisor Naomi Schwartzs chief assis-
tant.
JAmy claims to enjoy the planning process and proceedings, and if that is
indeed the case, more power to her, as such proceedings can be excruciatingly
painful to all concerned. She is indefatigable, and knowledgeable, and forceful,
and forthright, and clever, and observant, and articulate, and opinionated.
What more could an effective planning commissioner be, we ask? JAmy, we
have to admit, is the perfect replacement for the retiring Claire Gottsdanker,
who was and is indefatigable, knowledgeable, forceful, forthright, clever, obser-
vant, articulate, and opinionated.
JAmy was, of course, a columnist for Montecito Journal and then for other
local media, so she knows both her stuff and all the players. She says she is a
schooled watercolorist and can read blueprints and architectural plans, and we
dont doubt that at all.
Her experience on the First District Historic Landmark Advisory Commission,
as MA president, a member of the MA Executive Board, on the 2002 Montecito
Governance Task Force that led to the formation of the MPC, and so many other
duties and responsibilities make her a good choice.
I am very honored, JAmy writes, Supervisor Carbajal has put his trust
in me for this important decision-making role. For 18 years I have dedicated
myself to Montecitos issues and I look forward to expanding my breadth of
experience on the Montecito Planning Commission. I believe a planning com-
mission should be a collage of public viewpoints, so can assure the community I
will be accessible, open-minded, expressive and vigilant to preserving and pro-
tecting Montecito.
So, as we said in the beginning: welcome back, Ms Brown. MJ

Remembering the California Kid
Monte ito
Miscellany
by Richard Mineards
Richard covered the Royal Family for Britains Daily Mirror and Daily Mail before moving to New York
to write for Rupert Murdochs newly launched Star magazine in 1978; Richard later wrote for New York
magazines Intelligencer. He continues to make regular appearances on CBS, ABC, and CNN, and
moved to Montecito six years ago.
B
arnaby Conrad, the novelist,
diplomat, club owner and mata-
dor, died last month at the age
of 90, but a memorial of sorts is in
place at Caf Del Sol, the popular
watering hole a tiaras toss from the
Andree Clark Bird Refuge.
Barnaby, who lived in Carpinteria,
was a regular at the eatery when
it was located in Montecitos Upper
Village and became a good friend of
the owner, Jack Sears, over the years.
When the nosheteria moved to its
current location in the late 80s, the
property was renovated, including
the bathrooms.
For some reason Barnaby came in
and looked around and shortly there-
after brought in two of his oil paint-
ings to decorate the window spaces in
the lavatories, explains Jack.
One of Ernest Hemingway with a
matador, a nod to Barnabys time in
Spain and Mexico fighting bulls, is
in the mens room, while another one
featuring cats, who were favorite pets
of Hemingway, adorns the ladies.
Many people ask the origin of the
works when using the restaurants
rest rooms, adds Jack.
They are certainly a talking point.
I think they look good where they are
and theyre now a wonderful memo-
rial to Barnaby nearly a quarter of a
century on.
Saving Each Other
Bui Simon hosted a very special
party for her friends, Victoria Jackson
and her daughter, Ali Guthy, who
have just published Saving Each Other,
a book about a little understood incur-
able disease Neuromyelitis Optica.
Ali was diagnosed with the illness
that can cause blindness, paralysis
and life threatening seizures five years
ago at the age of 14 and was given the
terrifying prognosis that she had just
four to six years to live.
The book chronicles the journey of
Ali, a student at UCSB, and Victoria,
the wife of Bill Guthy self-made
principal of the infomercial marketing
giant Guthy-Renker , in combating
the disease, which afflicts as few as
20,000 people around the globe.
It was the start of a powerful jour-
ney to save Ali, our only daughter,
including bringing together a team of
more than 50 of the worlds leading
experts in autoimmune and NMO-
related diseases to create The Guthy-
Jackson Charitable Foundation,

artist, told me at the bash at Tecolote,

the bustling bibliophile bastion in the
Upper Village.
It was a life change for both of us. I
went from mascara to medicine, from
foundation to be a founder of one!
When I checked on Google there
were just two lines on the disease,
which is often misdiagnosed as multi-
ple sclerosis. Now we have ninety peo-
ple in fifteen different countries doing
research on this and, since founding
the foundation, have built up the larg-
est blood bank in the world.
The tome, told in alternating view-
points, is filled with humor, warmth
and raw emotions, showing that the
power of love can transcend fears.

of The Spectrum, a newsletter she cre-
ated for the foundation, dedicates the
book For Survivors and Thrivers
Everywhere.

Jonesing for a Sale
Santa Barbara Polo Club member
Tommy Lee Jones may have lost out
on an Oscar last month for his role in
Lincoln, but he is hoping to win big
by selling his equestrian ranch for $22
million more than he bought it for.
The Emperor star has just put his
Wellington, Florida, 50-acre property
on the market for $26.75 million, hav-
ing bought it just ten years ago for
$4.46 million.
The 66-year-old, who was nominat-
ed but did not win for Best Supporting
Actor in Steven Spielbergs film, has
extensively developed the ranch into
one of the premier locales in the polo-
saturated area, just a gallop away
from the millionaires playground of
Palm Beach.
Named after his Texan home, San
Saba Polo Ranch, includes a regula-
tion-sized polo field, as well as a stick
and ball field, a man-made lake, miles

The best little paper in America
(Covering the best little community anywhere!)
W
e were very interested in
your article about the his-
tory of the Piedras Blancas
Light Station that appeared in a recent
issue (The Way It Was MJ # 19/8).
We were thrilled when we realized
that the old photos of the light station
were the same as an early California
watercolor painting we have had for
many years.
Our painting was done by Stan
Backus in 1939. We never knew the
exact location of the lighthouse in the
painting, only that it was somewhere
on the California coast.
A few years ago, in 2008, we
were fortunate to have some of our
California Regionalist Art collec-
tion exhibited at the Santa Barbara
Historical Museum. This painting was
among those shown.
We have long been interested in
California art painted between the late
1920s to the mid-1950s, which include
the Depression years and the WWII
years. Much of the California scenes
that were depicted by those early art-
ists no longer exist.
Happily, the Piedras Blancas Light
Station is still there and open to the
public. Thank you for your excellent
article.
Sincerely,
David and Sally Martin
Santa Barbara
(Hatties Note: What a nice surprise I
found in the mail yesterday; a lovely note
from you and a card with the image of
your painting of Piedras Blancas Light
Station. Im so glad the article helped
you identify the site of your painting,
and I highly recommend the tour of the
light station (makes for a nice overnight
getaway). The Santa Barbara Historical
Museum has done a wonderful job with
its historic art exhibits, and Im sure I saw
the exhibition to which you contributed.
How kind of you to share your collection
with the community.
The Montecito Journal has been very
generous in allowing me the opportunity
to write detailed articles about our local
past (no one else in town is supporting
history to this extent) and especially by
allowing me to write of my travels, which
are usually to historic places. Thanks very
much for the kind words. Best wishes
Hattie Beresford)
Voices From
Rosettas Pond
Last week, Ms Monarch HRH, that
gossipy over-dressed butterfly, darted
over the pond, almost crashed into
an overhanging branch as if she were
being chased by Lemont Cranston,
and dropped rumor bombs of some
new impending danger to our lifeline,
Montecito Creek.
She said she had, before getting
caught, been eavesdropping on a very
secret conversation God was hav-
ing with himself, which had devel-
oped into an argument over getting
involved or not getting involved.
Shed been given an important mes-
sage but didnt know what to do with
it. In the swing next to the waterfall,
the retired old carpenter beckoned to
us to come closer. HRH got closest,
quickly landing on his knee, gripping
the jeans tightly, she sat very still and
unrolled her antennae high into the
air.
This we grokked she grokked to
him: A confluence of good inten-
tions is certainly happening, however,
before any concrete saw cutting and
demolition begins, and before any
plans are poured in concrete, please
tell them to measure twice, so you
only have to cut once.
And then the fog drifted away, let-
ting streams of sunlight blast down
among us, as a proverb was born.

A Modern
Business Fable
Once upon a time in our commu-
nity a really nice young man opened
that big store downtown. He always
treated people nicely and gave them
good values.
Everyone liked him.
Well, he married that beautiful young
girl a few years ago. You know, the
debutante from San Francisco. They
say that her father, (the university
professor with high government con-
nections), never ever told her no! Boy,
did she have expensive tastes.
First, they built that big house on
the hill with the pool and stables.
Then came jewels, furs, cars, servants
and foreign vacations. It wasnt long
before he started borrowing money
from the bank to make ends meet.
He mentioned to her that it would be
helpful if she would slow down a bit
on her spending. She was complete-
ly outraged; said that he obviously
knew nothing about business or he
wouldnt be running out of money.
The solution? She would go down

and help him at the store. After all,
she studied economics at U.C. Berkley.
After a quick look around, she said
the place looked tacky and hired an
East Beach decorator to redo it (cost
no object). She felt it was ridiculous to
pay the employees so much, (especial-
ly the sales commissions), so she fired
all the old workers and hired teen-
age replacements at minimum wage.
Then she found that instead of paying
top dollar for the merchandise, she
could get some almost as good for a
lot less and charge the customers the
same price. She said they would never
know the difference.
The customers did, of course, notice
the difference and went elsewhere to
shop. The place was beginning to look
really weird anyway and the good,
personal service was gone.
At the end of the month there was
less money in the bank. Since more
money was needed to maintain her
lifestyle, there was only one thing to
do: she raised all the prices.
After the bankruptcy and the
divorce, she went back to her father
who used his political influence to get
her the position of Assistant Director
of Management and Budget with the
Obama administration in Washington,
D.C.
She fits right in!

couple to set up a print shop in the base-

Gone Forever
And Here Always
Ann, Barbara, Julie, Dwayne:
between 1975 and 1984, I rarely missed
an episode of One Day At A Time.
They walked that tightrope between
schlocky entertainment and trying to
tell us something worthwhile.
Often, the first thing I look for in an
obituary is the deceaseds birth year. I
knew Bonnie Franklin and me were
close in age, but now I see we share
the same birth year. Just another som-
ber reminder that those of us still here
should savor every day, even when
things arent going well.
Bonnie Franklin was Valerie
Bertinellis mentor and the real rea-
son we still continue to enjoy Valeries
presence on television and in the
celebrity world. Both were (are) real
people. Not much of Ms Franklin
rubbed off on Mackenzie Phillips,
which is one reason why we dont
hear much about her these days.
The casts of all these early television
shows, which brought us so much joy
without grossing us out, are slowly
fading away. Pretty soon, well only
have DVD and YouTube to remember
these characters by.
Maybe Lifetime or TV Land could
pick up the rights to these programs
and show them on cable. (How many
times must we watch The Andy Griffith
Show?)
Bonnie and Valerie: now thats real-
ity TV!
Rest In Peace and May Her Memory
Be Eternal.

no Questions Asked?
One popular solution (?) to gun vio-
lence is for law enforcement bodies to
set up a program to purchase firearms
with no questions asked (Google:
LA Gun Buyback).
If youre a gang-banger or violent
criminal, its as simple as committing
the crime and then, turning in your
gun for a gift certificate.
What a great opportunity for those
serial killers whove been hiding their
rusty old Saturday-night specials in
the backyard for the past 10 years. Its
time to dig them up and turn them in.
The only evidence linking a suspect
to the victim can now be purchased by
law enforcement with no questions
asked. Who says crime doesnt pay?
Perhaps its time to start asking a
few questions regarding these taxpay-
er-funded evidence-loopholes.
Cautiously,

by Kelly Mahan

A
t this weeks Montecito
Association Board Meeting,
president Dave Kent
announced a decision has been made
in the search for a new Montecito
Planning Commissioner. Former MA
president JAmy Brown has been
appointed to take the vacancy left by
Claire Gottsdanker, who has been
appointed to the Montecito Board of
Architectural Review. (See our edi-
torial on page 5 for more about Ms
Brown.)
One more vacancy remains on
MBAR, as Susan Keller and Don
Nulty have announced they are leav-
ing the Board. For information on
how to apply, call Supervisor Salud
Carbajals office at 568-2186.
During community reports,
Lieutenant Kelly Moore announced
he has been working with local
schools on active shooter scenarios,
following the shooting at Sandy Hook
elementary school in Connecticut
in December. Cold Spring School is
working with Moore to make changes
to the school security. Moore also
reported auto and residential burglar-
ies are up in the area, with about 3-4
reported per week.
The Board unanimously appointed
new member Bob Williams to the
Land Use Committee. Im looking for-
ward to it, he said. Currently the Land
Use Committee is focusing on the 101
freeway expansion, YMCA remodel,
cellular antenna projects, and more.
A new issue was brought up by a
neighbor of Casa del Herrero, who
said the non-profit has been using
a portion of the east side of the East
Valley Road property illegally as a
parking lot. The neighbor says he has
contacted the County about the viola-
tion, and that they are aware of the
misuse, which is against the Casas
conditional use permit. The Land Use
Committee will look into the issue at
its next meeting.
With no further business, the meet-
ing was adjourned. The next meet-
ing is scheduled for Tuesday, April 9.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Really Saving Earth
Say what you will about the threat
of Climate Change, but it doesnt
compare with the real and likely more
immediate threat of a football-sta-
dium-sized asteroid slamming into
Earth sometime in the near future.
Such a space rock could wipe out a
city like New York, London, Paris,
New Delhi, Shanghai, Santa Barbara,
or wherever. Even a house-sized aster-
oid that hits in the right place would
do extensive damage.

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

tion. MJ

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

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

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

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

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

Luther), and Simon Raab, a Montecito
resident with an extensive background
in technology (he is founder and chair-
man of Faro Technologies, Inc., his
wife, Diana Raab, is a noted writer),
astronauts Rusty Schweickart and Ed
Lu were invited to give what turned
out to be an enlightening presentation
to a small group of invited guests at
the Raabs home last Saturday after-
noon.
When physicist-astronaut Lu, with
two shuttle missions and a lengthy
stay on board the International Space
Station under his gravity belt, put
up what he called his map of
near-space rocks speeding around in
our solar system, it was a sobering
moment. The image, taken from the
JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) data-
base, showed just some of the million
or so asteroids that could hit Earth at
any time.
There are around a million of
them, Lu explained, and they are all
accurately portrayed (on the screen)
every single known asteroid as of
about eight months ago. There are
about ten thousand near asteroids,
those that could hit Earth. Weve only
been able to study a small percentage
of them so far. There are a lot of them
out there, he says, and they do hit
the Earth from time to time.
He points to the moons pock-
marked surface to illustrate the regu-
lar bombardment, and says that a sim-
ilar amount of asteroids have hit the
Earth, but evidence of the onslaught
is less available because of water and
atmosphere.
Odds Are
Then Lu outlined the odds of such
an object hitting Earth:
1) A smaller asteroid, roughly the
size of the one that missed us recent-
ly, if it struck Earth, would produce
around five megatons of explosive
energy, or approximately 500 times
the power of the bomb that destroyed
Hiroshima. The odds that one such
asteroid will hit Earth in the typi-
cal lifetime (90 years) of a human is
about 30%: about the odds of dying
of cancer.
2) There is a nearly 1% chance of
an asteroid the size of a home hit-
ting Earth, landing with 100 mega-
tons of explosive energy, equal to five
times the amount of all the bombs
(including the atom bombs) that were
dropped in World War II. It could
basically destroy everything in north-
ern California if it landed there. That
1% likelihood is similar to the odds
of your dying in a car accident on any
given day. While these odds are small,
Lu points out, we do take precau-
tions against dying in a car accident.
3) The odds of something larger
striking Earth, has a .001% chance of
happening, and would almost cer-
tainly mean the end of civilization
as we know it. Those odds are the
equivalent of the likelihood of your
dying in an earthquake on any given
day. And, Lu notes, we take pre-
cautions against that, with building
codes and such, so the least we can
do, he suggests, is to make a dedi-
cated effort to avert such a calamity.
Every generation could be the last
one, he warns, unless mankind sets
in motion a planned defense. Every
civilization on any planet in any sys-
tem eventually has to solve this prob-
lem or suffer extinction at some time.
Somebody should be working on this
problem, he opines.
The B612 Foundation (B612 is the
asteroid Antoine de Saint-Exuperys
Little Prince called home) was found-
ed in 2002 at a meeting at Ed Lus
house outside Houston, Texas. Just
before that, in October, 2001, a small
group of scientists had informally
discussed ways of diverting Near-
Earth Asteroids (NEAs) at the near-
by Johnson Space Center. We can
divert nearly all such objects, Lu
says, except the most difficult cases
such as a comet coming in from deep
space by simply running into it with
a small spacecraft. The slight change
in velocity you give it, he explains,
is enough to divert it.
What we realized, however, is that
all that technology is worthless if you
dont know where the asteroids are.
Finding them early is the key, he
says, and we only know where one
percent of them are. NASA has done
some research in this field but has
found less than one percent of the
rocks that could do us damage, Lu
explains.
So, the scientists came up with the
idea of sending a satellite into orbit
around the sun, with a telescope on

board aimed towards Earth. Lu esti-
mates that 99% of all the objects in our
solar system will be discovered and
can be tracked with this telescope.
The cost of [the project] is min-
iscule, Lu suggests, compared to
many other projects that are regularly
funded. The planned launch date is
July 20, 2018 (the 49
th
anniversary of
the moon landing), because Venus
whose gravitational influence will
be used to slingshot the satellite
towards the sun will be well posi-
tioned at that time.
What were talking about, con-
cludes Schweickart, is literally
reshaping the solar system in order
to enhance our chances of long-term
survival.
Life is extremely tenacious, Lu
adds, but there have been five known
mass extinctions, hacked by the crazy
Cosmetic gardener with a machete.
Life, he says, has been rebooted fifty
to a hundred times in the course of
four billion years.
Each invitee at this meeting at the

Raabs home in Montecito was given
a small package containing a rock-like
fragment that Lu and Schweickart say
is made of the ash from what is called
the KT Boundary, laid down upon
Earth from the giant asteroid that
splashed down at Chicxulub, Mexico
in the Yucatan Peninsula. That impact
threw up the layer of ash that can be
found worldwide and is generally
believed to have been the cause of the
demise of the dinosaurs.
Plans call for the entire project to
be a privately funded effort. The
Foundation scientists have conclud-
ed it would take too long to seek
funds from a governmental entity. The
astronauts are looking for like-minded
people to join them in helping make
this happen. And, on cue, Simon Raab
handed Ed Lu a check for an unspeci-
fied amount to get things rolling.
A House of Representatives hearing
is scheduled for March 19. Among
those testifying will be Charles F.
Bolden, Jr., head of NASA, along
with General William L. Shelton,
Commander, Air Force Space
Command, Peterson Air Force Base,
Colorado. According to the U.S. Air
Force website, General Shelton is
responsible for organizing, equipping,
training and maintaining mission-
ready space and cyberspace forces
and capabilities for North American
Aerospace Defense Command, U.S.
Strategic Command and other com-
batant commands around the world.
The subject of NEAs and diverting
asteroids is expected to come up.
The Lady In Red
Red does seem to be her favorite
color, but when Erin Graffy de Garcia
is entertaining, any hue will do. Erin
and Gil Rosas on piano, baritone Rich
Hoag, and tenor Daniel Hochman,
played to a capacity audience at the
Santa Barbara Rockwood Womans
Club recently.
Santa Barbara: The Musical was a
fundraiser for the Womans Club and,
judging by both the full house and the
audience response, it was a smashing
success. I know; I was there. Erins
promise to sing about City Hall! The
Planning Commission! Oil Drilling!
Roundabouts and Bulb-outs!... Even
Goleta! came through in dramatic
fashion as her Musical Mischief group
had the crowd eating out of its pro-
verbial hands as mid-meal the crowd
sang along to Erins Guantanamera
parody called Carpinteria.
Car-pin-ter-ia, Oh dear its Car-pin-ter-
ia.... Car-pin-ter-ia
They grow roses and lemons and mums
And many species of van wingerduns
The whole valley is friendly not rude
Cuz guacamole is their favrite food
They celebrate there with parties and
song
And with parades that are just three
blocks long
Carpinteria
Oh dear, its Carpinteria
Carpinteria
Oh dear, its Carpinteria
The crowd hummed and tapped
along to Goleta (to the tune of
Maria from West Side Story).
Goleta!
From Ellwood to Fairview Goleta !
This me-di-o-cre place (is now)
in-COR-por-a-ted space I see
Goleta!
The gathering at the Rockwood
Womans Club then laughed along
with the Gilbert & Sullivan parody
from the Pirates of Penzance that skew-
ered Santa Barbara City bureaucracy:
I am the very model of a modern minor
bureaucrat
I have a downtown office and a fancy
desk is where Im at
To get thru local planning you must be
a kind of acrobat
Ill put you thru the jumps and hoops
and treat you like a sewer rat
Montecito and its new roundabout

Rogers & Hammerstein)
I did often drive
On Hot Springs before
But it ne-ver had so ma-ny whir-ling
things before!
All at once am I
Driving like Im high
Now that Im on the street where you
spin
Are there other roads at this pace in
town ?
Do you hear brakes slam in any other
place in town?
Do looks of dis-dain pour from every
lane?
No, its just on the street where you
spin!
And oh! the pan-ick-y feeling
That the on-ramp might soon be nigh!
Those signs they all should be helpful,
(But I cant read them all when I am
whirling by.)

locales, has acquired Island Air, which
flies between the islands and has 245
employees.
It will no doubt be the perfect
complement to his purchase of the
141-square-mile island of Lanai, off
the coast of Maui, last June from Dole
Foods tycoon David Murdock.
Ellison, who has been at the BNP
Paribas Open tennis tournament in
Indian Wells this week he bought
the site near La Quinta in 2009 for
more than $100 million is already a
keen aviator, having amassed a large
collection of planes, including an
Italian Air Force Marchetti jet and a
decommissioned MiG-29...
Wrestlers at George and Geralds
It was the perfect combination of
drama and dinner when garden-
ing guru George Schoellkopf and
artist Gerald Incandela threw an
intimate bash at their Summerland
aerie which featured Los Angeles
actors reading from their mutual
friend Bill C. Davis play in prog-
ress Wrestlers.
We know Bill from Connecticut
and thought it would be nice to have
our friends over to hear a read through
of the show, says Gerald, It worked
out well.
Davis, who wrote the Broadway hit
Mass Appeal, which was later made
into a 1984 Glenn Jordan-directed
film with Jack Lemmon and Charles
Durning, debuted Wrestlers in L.A.
with himself as one of the principal
players with Mark Harmon, star of
the long running hit CBS TV series
NCIS.
The dinner theater trio was made up
of Max Bunzel, Mary Schneider and
Joel Johnstone, with guests includ-
ing Mike and Ceil Pulitzer, Annette
Caleel, Robert and Gretchen Lieff,
and William Cornfield...
Belle of the Ball
State Street Ballet had another
hit on its hands with a beautifully
staged version of Beauty and the Beast
to the music of Tchaikovsky at the
Lobero.
Brazilian import Deise Mendonca,
who has danced in Milan, Italy, Rio
and Santiago, Chile, was absolutely
charming as Belle, love interest of
company regular, Ryan Camou, who
played both the beast and the prince,
dare I say, handsomely.
Colorful costume design by Mary
Etta Lang and Anaya Cullen, as well
as creative masks by Robert Joyce,
added to the imaginative show, with
ballet master Gary McKenzie in the
role of the father, Sergei Domrachev
and Julie Giordano as the sisters, and
David Eck and new Chilean import
Mauricio Vera as suitors.
Emmy-winning choreographer
Robert Sund created the work for
State Street more than a decade ago,
but it clearly stands the test of time.
Production director Mark Somerfield
just added to the excellence of the
show...
Present Laughter
Another timeless classic, Noel
Cowards Present Laughter, is being
staged at City Colleges Garvin
Theatre and really is a must see if you
enjoy British farce.
Director R. Michael Gros version
shines brightly, with Arthur Hanket
as the principal character Garry
Essendine, an egocentric actor deal-
ing with a midlife crisis, a role played
by Coward himself in the original
London production.
Isabel Nelson and Katherine
Bottoms are particular standouts in
the accomplished cast.
The lavish art deco set by Patricia
Frank, not to mention the wonderful
period costumes by Pamela Shaw,
only add to this charming tour de
force, filled with the trappings of
English society in the 1940s.
Coward would have loved it!
The show runs through March 23...
Appoggiatura Launches
An entirely different show
Appoggiatura, written by five-time
Emmy nominee James Still and direct-
ed by Risa Brainin, UCSBs Director
of Performance for the Department of
Theater and Dance, took place at the
Hatlen Theater.
The LAUNCH PAD preview pro-
duction is part two in what will
eventually become a trilogy about an
American family, with members from
all walks of life, finding their way
from a common loss and sharing the
experience of simultaneously losing
and discovering themselves in Venice,
Italy.
Irwin Appel, a UCSB professor
of theater, and Anne E. Torsiglieri,
a Broadway veteran, were ideal for
their roles, along with Sophie Hassett
and Dominic Olivo rounding out the
principal characters.
Scenic designer Nayna Ramey has
done an extremely creative set.
Buon lavoro!
Magnificent Mutter
Continuing a seemingly endless
list of the worlds top violinists vis-
iting our tony town of late, Anne-
Sophie Mutter hit the stage of the
Granada, part of CAMAs interna-
tional series, just two weeks after
Joshua Bell performed on the same
spot.
The German musician, who made
her U.S. debut in 1985 playing with
the New York Philharmonic under
Zubin Mehta, kicked off the sold-out
show with Mozarts Sonata No.27 in
G Major and Schuberts Fantasie in
C Major, accompanied by her pianist
of 25 years, Lambert Orkis, who also
performed in recital with legend-
ary cellist Mstislav Rostropovich for
more than 11 years,
The second half started with
Lutoslawskis Partita, but belonged
to a wonderful rendition of Camille
Saint-Saens Violin Sonata No.1 in D
minor on her 1703 Stradivarius.
An evening to savor!
Compagnie Marie Chouinard Debuts
Canadian dance troupe,
Compagnie Marie Chouinard, cer-
tainly made a memorable debut at
the Granada, part of the entertaining
UCSB Arts & Lectures program.
The company performed two of
the founders signature works, 24
Preludes by Chopin and The Rite
of Spring, originally performed by
the legendary Nijinsky 100 years ago
with music by Igor Stravinsky.
The first work was dark and fre-
netic, while the finale was equally
entertaining, but particularly nota-
ble given the female members of the
company were topless.
The rhythms of the body were cer-
tainly coming to the fore...
Camerata Captivates
Camerata Pacifica is as entertain-
ing as ever.
The lunchtime concert at the
Music Academy of the Wests Hahn
Hall had an abundance of wind
instruments in play, launching with
Arnolds Divertimento with Adrian
Spence on flute, Jose Franch-
Ballester on clarinet and Nicholas
Daniel on oboe.
The hour-long show wrapped with
a delightfully entertaining Dvorak
work, Quintet for Piano and Strings
No. 2 in A Major, with bassoonist
John Steinmetz, Michael Thorn on
horn and Adam Neiman on piano,
added to the mix...

Celebrity Authors Luncheon
On Entertainment
by Steven Libowitz
Steven Libowitz has
reported on the arts and
entertainment for more
than 30 years; he has
contributed to Montecito
Journal for over ten
years.
N
ot everything was like it
seemed in the famous Trial
of the Century, the one in
1995 where O.J. Simpson was acquit-
ted of murdering his wife and her
friend.
Least of all the lead prosecutor,
Marcia Clark, who often came off
more severe than a ruler-wielding
Catholic school nun, someone who
seemed to see prosecuting the ex-
football star as a moral imperative
from on high.
The Marcia Clark on the other end
of the telephone earlier this week was
incredibly warm smart, of course,
but utterly affable and notably
funny. In a conversation that ran a
good bit more than an hour, we cov-
ered such topics as the Casey Anthony
trial, the recent case of the vengeance-
bound ex-cop Charles Dorner, the idi-
ocy of the now-repealed three-strikes
law and the inefficiency and unfair-
ness of the criminal justice system in
general. And, of course, we also talked
about O.J.
But we also spent a lot of time on
the details of her latest career as a
crime novelist whose alter ego charac-
ter Rachel Knight serves, as Clark did,
in the L.A. District Attorneys office
of Special Trials, the ones reserved for
high-profile cases and heinous crimes.
Clark will appear Saturday at CALMs
Celebrity Author Luncheon, discuss-
ing the process of writing and devel-
oping the works of fiction, the third of
which is due early this summer.
(Also on the bill of fare as authors
who will be interviewed at the lun-
cheon are Magic Castle impresario
Milt Larsen, Santa Barbara celebrity
chef Cat Cora, and Bay Area novel-
ist Tiffany Baker, whose latest work,
The Little Giant of Aberdeen County,
comes out March 14. Proceeds benefit
CALMs efforts to combat child abuse
and foster supportive child rearing in
Santa Barbara County.)
Here are excerpts from our conver-
sation.
Q. They say write what you know: how
much is Rachel Knight based on your own
experiences?
A. It has to be in large part because
my experience as a DA informs what
I write, of course, but only in general,
not specifics. I know that world very
well, thats where I came from. But
the cases I had, and people I know, I
didnt use them. The cases are made
up. Theres nothing literal between
the people and cases and the books.
I will say that what I did want to do,
which I havent seen in other books,
is to convey the sense of camaraderie,
the laughter, the friendship and the
gallows humor that was a part of the
world that I loved. Ive never felt like
that aspect of the life was well deliv-
ered in other books.
How is Rachel similar to you and how
is she different?
I didnt consciously set out to make
her like me. That would be really bor-
ing; I already live with me. But to the
extent that parts of me creep in, I prob-
ably made her better than me. Why
not? Why have all the same issues
problems and weaknesses? Hopefully
shes my avatar. She has a much more
exciting life five-star hotels, room
service, laundry done.
I know you started out as wanting to
work for the State Department, then were
a defense attorney before becoming a DA
and later a TV commentator. Was writing
always in your blood? And why now?
You know, I just loved murder mys-
teries as a kid. Nancy Drew was my
first love. She was the first intrep-
id female, and was very inspiring. I
loved all writing. But I never thought
of it as a way I could make a living.
I had no confidence that I could do
it full time. So I became a lawyer.
Theyre storytellers too, especially in
criminal law. Its another way of doing
the same thing. You tell stories to
the jury. Hopefully in the DAs office
theyre not fiction let me make that
clear! But I love fiction. If I dont have
the evidence I need when I come to
a certain point, I just hit backspace,
backspace, backspace, and suddenly
there are fingerprints. Its a wonderful
thing.
Your new book, Killer Ambition, the
third in the Rachel Knight series, is due
this June. Can you give us a little pre-
view?
Its the Hollywood book. A famous
directors daughter is kidnapped, and
the story weaves all around I dont
want to give too much away. And we
go through the investigation and actu-
ally go to trial for the first time in one
of my books. Its her version of the
Trial of the Century. You see the media
involvement, and how that impacts
the trial and the witnesses.
Speaking of that, youre commenting
on trials yourself since you left the DA.
I know you didnt enjoy the daily parsing
of the proceedings and strategy analysis
during the O.J. trial, and now thats part
of what you do on these other celebrity or
high profile cases.
I didnt mind the analysis The
problem I had with commentators
was the spin. They were so many
people, and these pundits were a cot-
tage industry. Many of them had no
clue of what they were talking about.
They knew nothing. Not the law, nor
the strategy, or what we were allowed
to do. I saw someone actually criticize
me for not calling O.J. to the witness
stand! Thats a level below which
the networks should never drop; they
should be vetting their reporters to
be informing responsibly But when
someone knows what theyre doing,
its great when they can explain and
clarify for the layperson. I hope when
I do it Im thorough and fair-minded
and balanced and accurate. Thats
why Im there.
Do you miss actually prosecuting crim-
inals, looking the perpetrator in the eye
when the jury says Guilty?
Um (long pause). I did in the
beginning when I first left. I remember
when I was working for Entertainment
Tonight, and wound up covering the
Robert Blake trial. Wed sit in the
jury box to watch whenever the jury
wasnt in the room. So Im there next
to all these reporter whod covered
the O.J. trial, and it was like an out
of body experience. I knew the DAs,
too, so I was feeling so out of it, out
of place. I remember thinking, What
am I doing here? I should be handling
this case. But I really dont [miss
it] anymore Writing novels is enor-
mously satisfying.
On the other, like you said earlier, I
imagine its got to be fun to be able to have
the case go exactly the way you want it to,
have an answer for every twist.
Oh, yeah, man. (Laughs) Its quite
wonderful.
I would think this cause, CALM, would
be close to your heart, because of the
strong link between child abuse and later
criminal activity in adults.
Yes, thats why I was so honored
and thrilled when they asked me to
appear. Child abuse is a much bigger
problem than people realize. There
are obvious ones like Sandusky,
people who abuse children sexually.
But theres also abuse from neglect,
parents who are substance abusers
or mentally unstable and unable
to shoulder the burden of raising
children. And those children very
frequently wind up in the criminal
justice system one way or the other.
Theyve had no guidance, no help;
they dont know what a function-
ing life looks like. So we cant have
enough programs like CALM.
You do have another Santa Barbara
connection, a good friend who lives here,
right?

friend since before I had my kids.
Santa Barbara became my refuge dur-
ing the O.J. trial. It was the coolest
place to be. No one hassles you or
bothers you. I just love it up there.
People are so awesome, and so good
to me. So I came up every weekend I
could get away, especially when I had
the kids. It was so peaceful and beauti-
ful. Its like Eden.
I know you dont want to spend much
time focusing on O.J. and the trial, but
I have to ask a couple of questions. First,
after all these years, does the verdict still
haunt you?
(Pause) Its always the same. Its
a miserable memory. Its depressing.
Theres just nothing good about it.
Of course it haunts me. It always
will. Why wouldnt it? Its painful to
me when people throw accusations
at the prosecution in general, and say
You screwed it up. You lost the case.
Do you know how hard we worked?
How I was in that office ten to fifteen
hours a day, seven days a week, for
one and a half years? We didnt lose it
because we were asleep at the switch.
What are you blaming me for? What
do you think I should have done?... [If
youre angry because] you thought he
was guilty, I guess I did my job.
So it was about jury nullification?
We knew it before we walked into
court. Everyone thought we would
lose. It was only two years after King
riots, and that was the tenure of the
times. It was in the air. It was the hor-
rible juxtaposition of a slam dunker
of a case in terms of evidence against
public sentiment that went completely
in the opposite direction.
So was there any feeling of vindication
when Simpson was convicted of robbery
in Vegas and is now in prison for a long
sentence? Does that feel like justice?
I think it was a feeling of he is where
he belongs. Id wish he had gotten
there as a result of our case. Its pain-
ful that he wasnt punished for com-
mitting these atrocious murders. But
its good hes where he is.
Leshnoffs Concerto
Grosso for SB Symphony
Jonathan Leshnoff had never even
heard of Nir Kabaretti when the Santa
Barbara Symphonys music director
contacted him back in 2011 to ascer-
tain if the composer would be inter-
ested in a commission to create a new
work in celebration of the symphonys
60th anniversary.
As Leshnoff recalls, they had a
mutual friend who had recommended
him to the conductor.
Nir just contacted me out of the
blue, Leshnoff, who lives in Baltimore,
Jonathan Leshnoff has written Concerto Grosso for
the Santa Barbara Symphony; the world premiere
will take place during the American Masterpieces
performance at the Granada on March 16 and 17
(photo credit: Katya Chilingiri)
said over the phone earlier this week.
But the minute I first talked to him, I
liked him right away. We just hit it off.
Weve had good discussions and lots
of laughs over the phone and Skype
ever since.
No word on whether Kabarettis
ebullience made its way into Leshnoffs
Concerto Grosso in the Baroque Style,
a 15- to 20-minute work that will open
this weekends pair of symphony con-
certs at the Granada. But the idea
of honoring the orchestras principal
players was the organizing theme for
the new work.
He said, Its the sixtieth anniver-
sary. Why not honor the players? So
when I thought about it, I thought it
made sense to use the old Baroque
form, the concerto grosso that was
popular in days of Corelli and Handel.
Where a regular concerto spotlights a
solo instrument versus the orchestra,
the grosso is a bunch of instruments.
So it made sense to resurrect this form,
which I dont think has gotten a lot of
new attention this century.
Leshnoff, who said that as a child
that he grabbed the crayons his par-
ents gave him for coloring and used
them as drumsticks, took up com-
position early in college. Classical
icons Bach, Beethoven, Bartok and
Stravinsky are among his musical
heroes and he isnt afraid to acknowl-
edge their influence.
Composing is an apprenticeship. In
order to learn, you need to understand
the masters. You dont go rewriting
the Fifth Symphony, but you look at
his ingenious way of holding the piece
together, stretching out ideas, know-
ing when to break before it becomes
monotonous, and how to use the har-
monies. You look at whats success-
ful, take the time honored ideas and
breathe new life into them, with ideas
that are new but with structures that
work. Thats my aesthetic.
His Concerto Grosso offers focused-
attention opportunities to two violins,
woodwinds, horn, trumpet, trombone
and cello in its four movements. And
while its difficult enough to compose
a concerto for a soloist with whom
youre familiar and can bounce ideas
off of, upping the ante to several play-
ers whom youve never met definitely
raises the difficulty factor.
I had no idea who was going to
play the parts, Leshnoff noted. That
really wasnt possible here, because
there are so many musicians, and
Im out here on the other coast. But
I designed it because theyre not all
playing every movement, I could get
away with not having a close working
relationship.
Still, Leshnoff said he thought the new
piece was both tailor-made for Santa
Barbara and open to broader appeal.
Its specific because it is very cele-
bratory, he said. I take a much more
happy and bright tone than I would
on a typical symphony or concerto,
which might be a lot more contempla-
tive or dark. This is bright, because its
about a happy occasion. But its also
universal in that people like to hear
upbeat happy pieces. They like happy
endings. We have enough tragedy and
discomfort in the word. Its a good
thing to lift your spirits. Its a win-win
for everybody.
Which has also been the case with
Leshnoffs well-regarded earlier com-
positions which include four string
quartets, two oratorios, seven concerti,
trios, a string sextet, a symphony, and
numerous solo and chamber works.

I dont have time. I have to make
it. I get up very early and I work very
hard. When I have a moment, Im
doing something with it. Like with
this interview. I said it had to be at 1:15
because thats when I would need a

Ying Quartet at SBMA
Sibling revelry and tasty morsels of
music are among the Ying Quartets
lyrical attributes. Here are several rea-
sons to take in the Grammy-winning
genre-mashing foursome at the Santa
Barbara Museum of Art Tuesday
night:
1) Three-quarters of the quartet have
known each other all their lives cel-
list David Ying, violist Phillip Ying
and second violinist Janet Ying are
siblings: We played music because
our parents thought we wouldnt get
into any trouble, David said. Little
did they know we would form a
quartet, probably one of the stupid-
est things to do (when your dad is a
doctor) But weve been fortunate to
keep having great opportunities. Its
been a great ride.
2) The family that plays together
stays together: We know each other
so well that I can predict what Janet
will order off the menu when we
go out to eat, said David. But as
musicians, its a different relationship.
Were so musically dependent on each
others brains and souls as well as our
playing, so its great to have not only
that friendship and musical affability,
but also trust. You have to believe in
the people youre going on stage with.
Maybe thats a little more built in with
families. Even though you know each
others sore spots and which buttons
to push, in the end you trust your
family.
3) Except when they dont: We
couldnt believe we worked so hard
to get to the top, and now he was
quitting, David said about his broth-
er, Tim, who departed as the first vio-
linist after 17 years in 2009. But he
needed to be with his family, and he
said that although he felt fortunate to
have experienced and accomplished
more than he ever dreamed, he didnt
think it could get any better. I dis-
agree, of course, or I wouldnt still be
playing.
4) Fresh blood brings new ideas: We
knew immediately, after maybe eight
bars, of the first piece we rehearsed,
that she was the right person, David
said about Ayano Ninomiya, who
assumed the first violinist chair in
2010. She brought a fresh energy,
and re-awakened all of our musical
verve, helping us to reevaluate and
reconsider every aspect of the music.
And shes the rare musician who can
play with complete command and
authority but also listen intently with
responsiveness at the same time. So
the quartet is maybe more exciting
than ever.
5) Just like the quartet itself, the
program features a mix of old and
new; Dim Sum, the Yings patent-

EASING RECOVERY
FROM SURGERY
Recovering from surgery can be a long and arduous
journey. Painful incisions and infammation are
frequently present even after the most successful surgeries.
Using a feather light touch the body is magically speeded
along the road to recovery. Recently however, scientists
at the Pacifc Advanced Technology Laboratory were
able to provide proof positive that I emit and transfer
energy. Using sophisticated infrared research equipment
scientists were able to identify that the energy from my
hands was successfully transferred to my subjects, If you
go to my website you can view this ..just click medicine
and science.
Tis healing energy will reduce infammation, heal

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

Yadda, yadda Sure, this May will mark
15 years since Seinfelds last new episode
aired on NBC. And its been almost as
long since Jerry Seinfeld came up with
anything remotely as original not to be
snarky. Yes, hes done his stand-up thing at
the Arlington three times before, and last
time more than a few laughs came at the
expense of audience members, rather than
through witty observations about ordinary
life, which powered the TV show. (Not that
theres anything wrong with that.) But its
Seinfeld! In person. The guy who co-created
and starred in the funniest, cleverest, most
dead-on sitcom, which just happened to
be about nothing, ever and, yes, that
includes Girls and other recent contenders.

show itself is an artistic exploration into the ironic depiction of police as an icon
within contemporary American culture, and is based upon a series of photographs
titled Police Cops by Adam Jahnke. Ten visual artists have chosen an image from the
series to reinterpret in their own way and medium, including Craig Stecyk, Jim
Mahoney, Chris Kirkegaard, Mark Lozano, Klay the Kid, Chris Thomas,

Meet me at the Granada Only the

CAMA audience at the Granada for the frst
time in many years just last season has a
longer history in the United States than the
St. Louis Symphony, which began life as
the St. Louis Choral Society back in 1880.
The ensemble changed its name in the
early 1900s, and eventually became one
of the most respected groups in the country,
having received six Grammy Awards and
56 total nominations. Music director David
Robertson, who is in the midst of his
ninth season at the helm, leads the St. Louis
Symphony in a strong program that features
two works by Strauss (Don Juan, Op. 20,
and Till Eulenspiegels Merry Pranks, Op.
28) sandwiched around the Flute Concerto
of the highly decorated American
composer Christopher Rouse, whose works
have won a Pulitzer Prize as well as a
Grammy. Mark Sparks, symphonys
own principal futist acclaimed for his
colorful tone and spirited phrasing, serves
as soloist. The concert closes with Paul
Hindemiths Symphony: Mathis der Maler.

cant see events in the wonderfully intimate

O
n the border of Montecito and
Summerland is Ortega Ridge,
a north-south ridge that feeds
driveways, private lanes, ranches and
estates. Ortega Ridge runs from the
south near the 101 freeway just off
Sheffield Drive, and meanders north
all the way to East Valley Road.
While all the addresses on and
around Ortega Ridge are in the 93108
ZIP code area, none are in either of
the Montecito school districts; they
are either in the top-performing
Summerland School District or the
Carpinteria School District. Most of
the lots on the ridge are in the 1+ acre
range, up to the largest parcel that is
featured here, at 84 ocean-view acres.
Views, privacy (and did I men-
tion views?) are what Ortega Ridge
is all about. Whether north toward
the mountains or south overlooking
the ocean and islands, or west over-
looking Montecito toward the Santa
Barbara Harbor and beyond, or east,
looking all the way down the coast
toward Point Mugu, the views on
Ortega ridge can be spectacular.
Close to Santa Barbara, yet with
a rural feel, Ortega Ridge is a great
option for those desiring views and
privacy in the Montecito area. A quick
few blocks takes you down to the fine
shopping, coffee shops, restaurants
and the sandy beach in Summerland.
What follows are just a few listings
on Ortega Ridge currently for sale:

Dr. Victoria
(Vickie) Mann
Simms is a new
member of the
Board of the
Foundation for
Santa Barbara
City College
Fellows will meet once a year with
researchers from Harvard, Yale, and
other prestigious institutions, develop
projects, and speak of their results the
following year and share those with
other community college people.
Fellows are selected by board mem-
bers of the City College Foundation,
who have partnered with her founda-
tion. Fellowships include a stipend,
and a day and a half of the think
tank. Its bringing a whole new way
of approaching community colleges,
Vickie notes.
Currently, there are three commu-
nity colleges involved: Santa Monica,
Oxnard, and Santa Barbara; seven
Fellows have been named this year
and Vickie plans to add more com-
munity colleges and to offer at least
double the number of Fellowships
next year.
All the Fellows, so far, are
women, Vickie explains, because
that is the nature of that profession.
But, she says shed like to have men
too.
She suggests that the social connec-
tion has more to do with the develop-
ment of a childs brain than an iPad or
other technological device, and that
research and discussion is likely to
produce more insight into what is
most important in early developmen-
tal interaction.
Babies have information overload.
Theres an app for everything, she
says, noting however, that play is
very important.
Ms Mann Simms was born
in Minneapolis and grew up in
Minnesota; her father was Ted Mann
of Mann Theaters. When her father
bought National General Theaters
the largest independently owned the-
ater chain in the U.S. he brought his
family to L.A. and became a movie
producer. Vickie and her husband,
Ron, were married forty-five years
ago.
