onathan Winters hadnt been as visible over the past year or eighteen months as he had been for most of the three decades hed lived in Montecito (He and his wife, Eileen moved here in 1981). World famous and humble to a fault, he died on April 11 at the age of 87. What made him famous around the world was probably his role in Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, the 1963 Stanley Kramer-directed comedy that featured stonefaced Spencer Tracy as Police Captain T.G. Culpepper, along Multi-talented Jonathan Winters, seen here with longtime with just about every top-name friend Rick Maiani just before his one-man art show at the comic alive at the time, includ- then Maiani Gallery on Coast Village Road, was not only a ing Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, comic legend, but also an accomplished artist and a writer Buddy Hackett, Mickey of renown Rooney, Dick Shawn, Phil Silvers, Terry Thomas, Jim Backus, Joe E. Brown, Andy Devine, Leo Gorcey, Sterling Holloway, Buster Keaton, Don Knotts, Carl Reiner, Arnold Stang, all Three Stooges, Jimmy Durante, and cameos by Jack Benny and Jerry Lewis. That was the company Jonathan Winters kept. I first saw him in black & white when he starred in his own 15-minute Jonathan Winters Show in 1956. The entire show was all Jonathan all the time and it was a most wonderful interlude for a budding teenager to enjoy. One never really had a conversation with Mr. Winters. He was the conversation, and he usually included one or more of the personalities hed created to join in. You simply were along for the ride, and more often than not it was a joyride. Jonathan Winters and his wife, Eileen, who died nearly four years ago, lived together comfortably high in the hills above Montecito. He was generous with his time, patient with his fans, and respectful towards his wife, who battled various ailments the last few years of her life. Jonathan Winters was the very first Grand Marshal of Montecitos Fourth of July Parade & Celebration, launched in 1996. He marched down School House Road from Upper Manning Park, through Montecito Union Schools parking lot, across San Ysidro Road, and down to Lower Manning Park, resplendent in his Marine Corps full-dress uniform and ceremonial sword. He meant a great deal to Montecito even then. Well miss his quirks, his stories, his evil smile, suspicious stares, and his various outfits. (Once, when publishing the Santa Ynez Valley Journal and covering a story in Los Olivos, I ran into him there. He was dressed as a butcher, complete with bloodstains, carrying what looked like a dull-bladed machete. As far as I know, he had no plan in mind other than to walk down the center of town to scare and/or entertain whoever noticed him.) He was indeed a funny man. And, there wont be another like him. Ever. May he rest in peace.

Court Orders Fire Board to Start Over with Station #3
(Editors note: This is late-breaking news, as reported by Associate Editor Bob Hazard. Well have the full report in next weeks issue) After spending two years and an estimated $750,000 on an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for a third Montecito fire station at 2500 East Valley Road, plus several hundred thousand more in architectural and engineering studies and legal costs, Superior Court Judge Thomas P. Anderle on Tuesday rejected the approval of the former Montecito Fire Board of the proposed Fire Station #3, and also vacated its consultant-driven EIR. Judge Anderle found that the EIR was fatally defective in relying on the Palmer Jackson East sites zoning for 93 estate homes at Rancho San Carlos, instead of its actual current use as highly productive agricultural land when performing the required environmental analysis, and thus did not comply with the mandates of CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act).

ne of Montecitos most iconic watering holes, Caf Del Sol, has been sold. The 3,400-sq-ft property, just a tiaras toss from the Andree Clark Bird Refuge, has been bought for $1,350,000 by Santa Barbara property developer Rick Sanders, a former owner of the Hotel Andalucia, I can exclusively reveal. The popular eatery has been leased by restaurateur Jack Sears and his wife, Emilie, from nonagenarian owners Paul and Lilly Ceidow, since 1989. We still have nearly two and a half years on the lease, so were still going to be around, says Jack, who opened Caf Del Sol in 1965 and was formerly located at the Pierre Lafond Wine Bistro space in the Upper Village. But after that, who knows? It really depends on what Alfredo

TO THE EDITOR
Making A Splash
hank you so much for the amazing article on Big Splash, written by Joanne Calitri in last weeks Montecito Journal (Our Town MJ # 19/15). The Arts Fund is very grateful for the time and thoughtfulness she put into composing her excellent review. She took much care in speaking with each artist about their diverse approaches to depictions of water in many forms. Without diligent writers like Joanne, we would all be working in a vacuum. Thank you Montecito Journal for all you do to support the local arts and non-profit community. Nancy Gifford Montecito (Editors note: Ms Gifford is a board member of the Contemporary Arts Forum; she is also an art collector and an artist J.B.)
The thought she put into this article is remarkable. It feels fluid and inviting just like the show. Her journalistic talent is supreme among the writers in Santa Barbara. Thank you Joanne and Montecito Journal for your support in the arts community! Catherine Gee Director The Arts Fund (Editors note: Geez, we had no idea that Joannes piece would produce such an outpouring of gratitude and praise! J.B.)
ple throughout the community have come forward with thrilling details about Lutah. The volunteersand collection at the Montecito Historical Archives have proved to be invaluable, and countless local architects and authors have graced us with their experiences with Lutah herself. If you have information about Lutah Riggs, please contact: lutah film@gmail.com. We are excited to continue our exploration ofLutahs legacy and our first film festival submission for this documentary will be tothe 2014 Santa Barbara International FilmFestival. To check out the Lutah films trailer, visitwww.vimeo.com/63723775. Leslie Bhutani Lutah Maria Riggs Society Montecito
Today, they talk about simplifying our tax code. I say we just go back to using this form with the same percentages that were used 100 years ago. Heck, I would even support elimination of all deductions if they stick to the percentages assessed. And, as for the 1% for those making $20,000 or less keep in mind that $20,000 in 1913 would equal over a million dollars in 2013 dollars. Mike Stoker Carpinteria (Editors note: It is interesting that you suggest $20,000 in 1913 would be equal to $1,000,000 today. We have little doubt that in another hundred years, a billion dollars today will be worth a million or less in 2113! J.B.)

Around 1970, when I first began to get seriously involved in the weather, forecasting was pitiful. Weather forecasters were the scientists who most often got sand kicked in their face. It was so bad, meteorology was hardly considered a science. Many of the guys who currently rule the meteorological world started out in this atmosphere. Then suddenly the future of the universe was in their hands; Congress and heads of state want to hear from them. It would be a remarkable person who did not let this go to their head. Not to mention the money. Imagine how difficult it is for them now to turn back? I also believe the collapse of the Berlin Wall came at a crucial time. Remember the Peace Dividend? How we suddenly lived in a happier, safer world? Politicians and the media need to frighten us. No one sells a newspaper with a headline such as, Global warming no longer considered very important. No one ever got elected saying, Things are just fine; when I get to Washington I intend to do very little. So, with the Soviet bogeyman gone away, a whole lot of people needed a new villain. Enter Global Warming! and when that got a little iffy, Climate Change! A Skeptical Scientist Santa Barbara
The Letters page of the Montecito Journal is usually good for a couple of amusing screeds from wealthy readers who feel abused by something or other, and your previous issue has a nice onefrom Ralph T. Iannelliin an elegantly phrased rebuttal to an earlier contributor (Economic Meltdown Rebuttal MJ # 19/15). In it he approvingly quotes John Adams on the immutability of facts and then goes on to tell a couple of whoppers. Mr. Iannelli correctly states that the economic collapse of 2008 had many fathers (mostly fathers, I think, though there were certainly some mothers in there [Wendy Gramm comes to mind for her heroic work on deregulation]). Democrats were as one with Republicans on many of the issues that allowed the financial services industry to leverage its scant capital to dizzying heights and create debt instruments of incomprehensible complexity and insignificant social utility. (I mean you, Bob Rubin and Larry Summers.) More Nonsense But he strays off into nonsense by trying to lay the blame for the collapse at the feet of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. Yes, the bursting of the housing bubble was responsible for a great deal of devastation and personal loss of wealth, particularly among those without a whole lot of it to begin with. Mr. Iannelli is right to reflect on that pain. But the Federal government had very little to do with that. Only quite late in the game did those two oft-demonized quasi-public entities Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae get into the business of pushing loans out to unqualified borrowers, in a foolish effort to keep a fraction of their previous market share (and to justify the stunning salaries their [ Editors note: politically appointed ] 18 25 April 2013

Every now and then I just have to forward off to you some gems that I come across. With April 15 having been tax day, I just thought sending this to you would be appropriate.

CEOs were being paid). By then, private enterprise had grabbed the housing loan market with both hands, selling deceptive loans to unsophisticated buyers using driveby appraisals (if there were any at all), promising a free lunch, delivering heartbreak, and getting rich in the process. Did the Federal government create Angelo Mozillo , who remains to this day obscenely wealthy from Countrywides deceptive business practices? Mr. Iannelli goes on to doubt President Obamas bona fides on the desire to reduce national spending. When national income collapses, tax receipts tumble and insurance payments (food stamps, unemployment insurance and the like) explode. Of course the debt increases. It should, in times of trouble. Federal spending was what stood between us and the massive unemployment of the 1930s, or now in Europe, where debt fears have brought austerity and punishing poverty to millions without jobs. Indeed there probably wasnt enough of it, given the unemployment rate today. No Big Spender But lets not single out President Obama on issues of spending. A simple chart from the Fed, however http://research.stlouisfed. org/fred2/graph/?g=hvg demonstrates that Federal expenditures nearly doubled from 2000 to 2008 (um, who was President?), spiked during 2009-2010 as the effects of the collapse started to hit and required Federal response, and have pretty much leveled off since then. The myth of Obama the Big Spender is just that: a legend. (And before someone offers credit to the House Republicans for the money-saving effects of the sequester, lets just wait and see how much that decline in expenditure translates into recession, along with the steep decline in medical, legal and other services for the millions of people who are neither virtuous nor lucky enough to live in Montecito.) His most ridiculous assertion, that the Obama administration spent $2.2 billion on free cell phones, inspired this letter. As the invaluable Snopes points out <http://www. snopes.com/politics/taxes/cellphone.asp>, its true that a federal program subsidizes providers who supply telephone services to lowincome consumers; but its false that the Obama administration created a program to provide cell phones and service to welfare recipients. I presume Mr. Iannelli refers to the Lifeline program, which began under Reagan, was expanded under Clinton, and first included cellular service under G.W. Bush. Paid for 18 25 April 2013
by the service providers under a mandate from the FCC (most of the charges are passed on to regular customers), its not a government program. Its not in the Federal budget. Obama had nothing to do with it, except that under his administration in 2012 the FCC began a comprehensive overhaul because the costs ballooned when private enterprise jumped in to make a profit from it. Check out <http://www.freegovernmentcellphones.net> for a vivid example of what I mean. Vote Suppression Finally, Mr. Iannelli states with regard to Voter ID laws but with little regard for the facts that Each and every state offers at minimal or no cost the opportunity for anyone to obtain valid identification. This is demonstrably false. Many Americans, particularly poor Americans or of minority birth, lack the documents required to prove their nationality, due to lost records or other reasonable circumstances. The cost of getting to the State centers, particularly in rural areas, particularly for people who cannot take the morning off to travel thirty miles to a county seat, is not trivial if one is working for minimum wage or very old or disabled or without a car or subject to the daily privations of so many in America. This may be a difficult reality for Mr. Iannelli to imagine. If these new laws were not discriminatory and political, given that there is simply no evidence of existing voter fraud on any non-trivial scale, why did the laws erupt from Republican-controlled legislatures? Why did that Republican leader in Pennsylvania brag that this would deliver Pennsylvania for Romney? Why did a three-judge Federal District Court panel toss Texass law on the groundsthat, in the New York Times words,the law would hurt turnout among minority voters and impose strict, unforgiving burdens on the poor by charging those voters who lack proper documentation fees to obtain election ID cards? Indeed, John Adams is correct. Facts are stubborn things. Mr. Iannelliwrites well; his charity, as he describes it, is without question. But heshould look more closely at his assertions to see if there is any factual basis for them. All too often, there is not. Cotty Chubb Montecito
ters to the editor. Unlike the prior responses, Mr. Chubb is more direct with an attempt to incorporate fact and less about emotion in his letter. I wholeheartedly endorse his approach. In his first challenge to the factual integrity in my letter he attempts to diminish or eliminate Barney Frank or Chris Dodd as being part of the problem rather than part of the solution to the financial meltdown of 2008. My statement about the Congressman and Senators refusal to address the problem of allowing unqualified persons to buy homes is factual in every sense of the word. Fact: Mr. Frank accused the Bush administration of trying to kill the dream of home ownership. He and Senator Dodd, two of the largest beneficiaries of campaign donations from Fannie and Freddie, chose to demonize Secretary Snow, Senator McCain and President Bush as it regarded their concern about this budding problem. It was and is the responsibility of Congress to reduce or eliminate programs that are at the root cause of so many of these problems. I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Chubb, and said so in my letter, that people in the private sector caused a large part of the problem. I also said
that those individuals who chose to push the envelope or in some cases break the law could not do either if the laws were not on the books for them to stretch or break. Once again Congress is made up of Republicans and Democrats and both must share in the blame forthis debacle. Friends Of Angelo While both parties are to blame, Mr. Frank and Mr. Dodd were in leadership roles during much of the time that this crisis developed. As a non-factual aside, it is laughable that the landmark Dodd-Frank financial regulation legislation is in fact named for these two former members of Congress. I would also ask Mr. Chubb if he has followed the investigation of Senator Dodd, among others who were Friends of Angelo and who may have been given preferential treatment by Countrywide and other lending institutions. Mr. Chubb also may remember the congressional investigation of Bank One Boston, a bank that was headquartered in Mr. Franks congressional district. The bank, which had Stanley Livingston (husband of Representative Maxine Waters)

Cold Spring Schools Gatsby Affair
About 150 partygoers attended the Cold Spring School Foundations annual fundraiser at Montecito Country Club over the weekend; this years theme and inspiration was The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgeralds classic tale of the Roaring Twenties and the flapper society that inhabited the era. Cold Spring parents responded with enthusiasm and donned costumes that would have been appropriate dancing the Lindy or the Charleston, or ordering bathtub gin at a speakeasy circa 1922. There were some dapper dads but it was the flapper femmes that set the proper (or improper, as old money would have said back then) tone of the evening. All proceeds from the event will go to support the various specialists at Cold Spring School: a certificated librarian, along with a technology, PE, and music specialist. All are being eliminated from public schools throughout the state, and so whatever funds are raised will go towards keeping those specialists on. The Foundation also supplies a starter set of iPads for kindergarteners and firstgraders. We also have a new strings program, Cold Spring School principal Tricia Price says loudly above the din inside the Country Club. Every second and third grader has their own violin, she continues, and were beginning to build an orchestra. Students had to leave the violins in the classroom when the program was first started, But now that we have a full set, they get to take them home and practice, Tricia says with

The violin is not an easy instrument to play, Tricia explains, but they all do it and they do it well. When Ms Price was principal at Summerland School, it had a strings program, and when Ron Zecher was teaching music at Montecito Union, they too had a strings program, so it was kind of his thing, Ms Price notes (Mr. Zecher is now Cold Springs music specialist).

Montecito Union School Carnival

The Mustang Marketplace at the MUS Carnival, where students provide goods and services to raise money for the school
A Used Book Sale at the MUS Carnival is back by popular demand; the carnival takes place April 27
US students and parents are gearing up for the schools most fun and profitable fundraiser; the Montecito Union School Carnival is scheduled for Saturday, April 27, from 10 am to 3 pm. The carnival, now in its 44th year, will once again feature a Dr. Seuss theme: this year: Oh, the Thinks You Can Think! Organizer Annabelle
Abba Brownell tells us the event is expected to raise over $60,000 for the school, which will go towards various education and extracurricular programs. Raffle tickets are already for sale; raffle underwriters include Montecito businesses Toy Crazy, Kumon, Roris Ice Cream and Sky High Trampoline Gym. This year, the Montecito YMCA is partnering with
MUS to highlight its newest program, Healthy Kids Initiative, and American Riviera Bank, which just opened in the Upper Village, is also a sponsor. Last year, Brownell, who has organized the event the last several years, added new attractions to the traditional carnival games and activities. The schools parking lot was home to several actual carnival rides, including a train, swing chairs, and a rocket ride. This year a larger Ferris wheel will be added, Brownell tells us. Back again this year: a Used Book Sale. The Montecito Mustang Marketplace, which was introduced
last year, will also be back. The Marketplace is set up so students can showcase their skills and help raise funds for the school by offering goods and services. Offerings from student vendors will include balloon animals, handmade jewelry, artwork, sun catchers, painted flower pots, handmade soaps, manicures, fortune telling, trivia challenges, hand massages and more. The traditional activities will also be in full swing, including parent-staffed booths featuring a Grinch Lollipop

Celebrating Our Brilliant Stars
Some of the celebrated stars Morrie and Irma Jurkowitz with Annette and Dr. Richard Caleer at the Granada
f there is a Whos Who list in Santa Barbara, they were all at the Granada when it celebrated its fifth year restoration anniversary with a gala. And what an evening it was; an evening of surprises, one after the other. Glamorous guests in black tie and gowns gathered in the lobby for a welcome reception. The entertainment began with emcee Hal Conklin introducing Sio Tepper playing ragtime on the piano. Broadway songs were played by Olivia Siemens on the violin and sung by Bryce Lupoli. Snow Fairy Ballerina Rachel Bergseteren Strange was there too. Spine tingling time was when both staircases filled with the Santa Barbara Choral Society singing the Hallelujah Chorus. Then the 190 partygoers moved to the loge for a stage performance by State Street Ballet Young Dancers. That was followed by the debut of the 4K digital projection unit, the result of twelve years effort by Roger Chrisman and wife, Sarah (board president), who
Ms. Millner is the author of The Magic Makeover, Tricks for Looking Thinner, Younger and More Confident Instantly. She will be giving a oneday makeover seminar at SBCC adult education April 20. Call her for this or an event at 969-6164.

Next we gathered in the McCune Founders Room and heard jazz by Holly Palmer singing and Peter Smith on the piano. Dinner was served on stage, with stunning crystal chandeliers and more hanging ropes of crystals. The tables had six-foot high centerpieces of white lilies all reflecting light. As we were eating, a scrim came down to block the view of the auditorium. When it rose there was another surprise the Santa Barbara Symphony playing with guest conductor Francesco Milioto and soprano Micaela Oeste and tenor Javier Abreu. The Granada has eight resident companies: CAMA, The Music Academy of the West, Opera Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Symphony, Santa Barbara Choral Society, State Street Ballet, Theater League and
UCSB Arts & Lectures. There were 100 performances last year by these groups alone. As executive director of Santa Barbara Center for the Performing Arts (SBCPA) Craig M. Springer said, With the reopening in 2008, the Granada emerged in a new form, taking its place as Santa Barbaras Lincoln Center. The honorary co-chairs Sarah and Roger Chrisman and Anne and Michael Towbes said of the guests, You are our Brilliant Stars who have made the Granada Theatres historic restoration and growing success possible. Susan Gulbransen reminded me, Its been sixteen years since the founding board members held our first meeting about the Granada restoration. A visionary group indeed. A new donor panel was unveiled, leading off with the $5 million donors (who were all attending) Morrie and Irma Jurkowitz, John and Lillian Lovelace, The Wendy P. McCaw Foundation, Sara Miller

The Granada does not receive any ongoing support and, like most theaters, covers only half of its annual budget with ticket sales and earned income. This means private funding is always needed to keep up the level of excellence. The talented gala committee was chaired by Carrie Ohly-Cusack, and helping were Meg Burnham, Nancy OConnor, Marla McNally Phillips, Nina Phillips, Sharol Siemens and Prudence Sternin. They outdid themselves and certainly none of us who were there will ever forget this spectacular evening in the Granada. May she carry on for another 90 years!

Verizon Wireless Granted Approval
A faux pine tree disguises wireless antennae on Overpass Road in Goleta. Montecito Board of Architectural Review has approved a similar project for Santa Angela Lane.
installation of nine Verizon Wireless panel antennas behind a parapet wall on a building located at 512 Santa Angela Lane, which already houses another carriers antenna. The need for the project came about early last year after the owners of the QAD property on Ortega Hill Road decided not to extend the cell phone carriers lease; the majority of Verizon Wireless coverage of the Montecito area was provided by the antenna at QAD. The project was stalled when neighbors and El Montecito Presbyterian parishioners and preschool parents complained about the antennas proximity to homes, the church, and the preschool. Backed by the Montecito Association, the group appealed the project to the Board of Supervisors. Instead of letting the BOS hear the dispute, Verizon Wireless staff looked for alternatives in the neighborhood, identifying and then eliminating 18 other properties in which to locate the antenna, and an above ground prefabricated equipment shelter. In March, it was decided that Verizon Wireless would continue to pursue the Santa Angela Lane location, but with a design alternative that would raise the antennas further away from ground level. The new design includes the installation of an antenna disguised as a 75-ft pine tree, located near another
similar tree, helping it to blend in to the neighborhood. Last month the appellants gave their support of the new design, saying it was a good compromise and a suitable agreement. On Monday, MBAR approved the design after planner Megan Lowery and Jay Higgins, agent for Verizon, color-matched branch samples with the existing trees on site. MBAR weighed in on the color and branch samples; they want Verizon to match the faux tree located on Overpass Road in Goleta in terms of tree shape and branch density. In order to do that, Verizon has agreed to reduce the number of antennas on the very top of the tree, so it will have a more conical and realistic shape. Once Verizon Wireless submits all the final clearance items, a Zoning Clearance will be issued by the County and the tree will be installed.

The Way It Was

espite the lack of rain, this spring in Santa Barbara, as e.e. cummings would have said, is mudluscious. In fact, we seem to be wallowing in it. Sullivan and Goss started the season with a watercolor exhibition of 21 adobe missions painted by Edwin Deakin between 1897 and 1900. The Santa Barbara Historical Museum has been up to their ears in mud with repairs and restoration of the Covarrubias and the Historic Adobes. In keeping with that effort, they opened De la Tierra: Art of the Adobe, which features works by renowned artists and photographers that illuminate the rustic beauty and timeworn romance of Santa Barbaras adobe structures. The 14th Annual Pearl Chase Society Historic Homes Tour jumps into this puddle-wonderful world on May 19 when it visits six historic adobes and an artists studio inspired by the now-venerable style. Past proceeds from the annual tour have supported a myriad of preservation and restoration projects in Santa Barbara. (For information and tickets call 805961-3938 or go to www.pearlchaseso ciety.org) One of the adobes on the tour is the Arellanes-Kirk Adobe. Carefully restored and renovated by a new owner, the people of this aged adobe lived fascinating lives and had connections to Montecito.

The 1872 Guide to Santa Barbara Town and County instructs readers that most houses in town are of wood frame design. But for speed and cheapness, the author says, an adobe house of common earth can be built by natives working at $20 per month. Such houses have walls that are two to three feet thick, which make for a
comfortable house that is cool in summer and warm in winter. Built between 1853 and 1867, the first owner of the Yankee-era adobe was Barbara Dominguez, wife of Geronimo Jos Francisco Arellanes. Both were descendents of men and women who played significant roles in the expanding Spanish empire that enveloped California over two centuries ago Barbara Dominguez paternal grandfather had enlisted with the expedition organized by Capitan Fernando Xavier de Rivera y Moncada to escort a group

Earth Day in Montecito
Montecito Union School celebrated Earth Day last week with a series of events including a movie night, science fair and festival. On Thursday, April 11, students spent their lunchtime on the schools blacktop and in the garden where they took part in green activities. Kicking off the lunchtime festival was a performance by Mr. Eco, an environmental rap superhero who uses Earth-friendly music to inspire kids to care for the planet. Mr. Eco (aka Brett Edwards) is a Cal Poly student who performs at school assemblies on the central coast, and has been featured in local news outlets. After the performance, the kids perused activities including a blender powered by a bike, canvas bag decorating, garden planting, soda bottle rockets, bubble activities, solar powered race cars and cookie making.

Scholar, author, and former Tibetan Buddhist monk, Robert Thurman, seen here with the Dalai Lama. Thurman will be at Crane School next week speaking on behalf of Earth Day.
Shannon Murray co-chaired the events, which have become an annual tradition at the school. Next Tuesday, Crane Country Day School will welcome Robert Thurman, who will speak at the library in honor of Earth Day. Thurman will share thoughts from his book, Why The Dalai Lama Matters, and discuss responsibility to the environment for future generations.

Time magazine named him one of the 25 Most Influential Americans, and he has lectured all over the world. Thurman writes, What I have learned from Tibetans has forever changed my life, and I believe their culture contains an inner science particularly relevant to the difficult time in which we live. My desire is to share some of the profound hope for our future that they have shared with me. Mr. Thurman will begin speaking at 8:15 am at the Crane School Library. For more information, call 969-7732. Earth Day is Monday, April 22.

France, Spain and Portugal. The event is held in celebration of National Foster Care Month and honors Angels foster families. Since 2006, Angels Foster Care has rescued abused, neglected and abandoned babies and placed them in loving Angels foster homes in Santa Barbara County. The non-profit organization was established to offer caring, stable foster homes with a stayat-home parent for children aged two and under (and their siblings up to age five) who are entering foster care for the first time. In seven years, Angels Foster Care has placed 128 babies in local homes. According to event committee member Sheela Hunt, numerous studies speak to the importance of infant attachment, which occurs when a child bonds to a consistent set of caregivers during his or her first 24 months of life. Angels foster parents
take only one child (or sibling group) at a time and agree to keep the child until reunification with the birth parents or adoption occurs. A twelvemonth commitment is usual, which allows the child to receive stable care and prevents movement within the foster care system. Tickets are $125 per person or $1,250 for a table of ten, and may be reserved by visiting www.AngelsSB. com/alfresco, or by calling the Angels office at 884-0012. All proceeds from the event will fund training programs for Angels foster families and support the agencys foster care program. Event sponsors include Coast2Coast Collection, Juliska, Vietri, The Biltmore Four Seasons Resort, Montecito Bank & Trust and Saks Fifth Avenue. Due to critical shortages, there is an urgent need for certified foster homes. Information is available at www. AngelsSB.com. MJ

When she returned the next morning her wallet was gone. The wallet contained her drivers license, a few credit cards, and a nominal amount of cash. Her husband needed to use the vehicle for work, so it was not on the scene at the time. The woman had left the doors of the truck unlocked. A report was taken.

accommodated at the ARCO property a number of times. One particular occasion in 1990, when she had resigned as Prime Minister after eleven years in office, she received an invitation from both President Reagan and ARCOs chairman, Lodwrick Cook, to visit Santa Barbara to celebrate Reagans 80th birthday. She had not been to California since 1969, so readily accepted and spent two nights with her husband, Denis, at the property before being flown in the ARCO helicopter to Los Angeles for a celebrity packed event. Beanie Baby billionaire Ty Warner, whose principal home is just a leisurely jog away, purchased the property about 13 years ago for around $16 million, reportedly with plans to remodel it into The Breakers Spa and Club. Until recently it had a For Sale sign on it.

Aspen, Colorado 81611 was second, but, despite the aprs ski, most millionaires or billionaires still prefer a place in the sun it seems,

Our rarefied enclave had 15 sales for ultra-luxury homes followed by 90077 in Bel Air, Los Angeles, where 10 properties sold for $10 million or more. These were followed, in order, by Miami Beach, Brentwood, Malibu, Atherton, Greenwich, Connecticut, and Miami. The activity we are seeing for trophy home sales speaks volumes about the value of these markets, says Budge Huskey, president and CEO of Coldwell Banker.

Clark died in May 2011, weeks short of her 105th birthday, and spent the final two decades of her life in seclusion in New Yorks Beth Israel Hospital. She wasnt ill but it was her fear of illness and dying that saw her effectively give up her life 20 years before her death.

Building Up Billy Montecito-based actor Billy Baldwin, 50, gets high praise from his even more famous brother, 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin, in the May issue of Vanity Fair. Billy, who lives in our Eden by the
working with the New York City marathon charity program to auctioning a walk-on role on 30 Rock for the many causes he supports, most notably the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund. Hes also a great dad who has made sacrifices in his career and personal passions to raise three kids. Alec, an Emmy and Golden Globe winner, adds: When Im with him, I can relax. We can say stupid things we said forty years ago and still make each other laugh... I know if I needed something and he had it to give, he would help... He is as bighearted as anyone you can imagine. And, by coincidence, we all used to share the same New York agent, the late J. Michael Bloom, when we were starting our on-screen careers... Magical Thinking Author Joan Didions book The Year of Magical Thinking, which chronicles the loss of her novelist husband John Gregory Dunne from a heart attack and, soon after, the death of her 39-year-old daughter, Quintana, after a long illness, was completed in just 88 days. It translated wonderfully to a Broadway play in 2007, directed by David Hare and starring Vanessa Redgrave, and six years later has finally arrived in Santa Barbara with the Ensemble Theatre Company at the Alhecama, one of the last productions at the rustic venue before the company moves to the 300-seat New Vic. Under longtime friend Jenny Sullivans direction, Linda Purl is a mesmerizing one-woman tour de force in her first ever solo performance, which came about after the original choice, One Day at a Time actress Bonnie Franklin died from cancer at the age of 69 in February. Purl, who appeared on HBOs True Blood,deals admirably with the many challenges brought in the haunting and poignant one hour and 45 minute intermission-free production, which brought a standing ovation from the packed audience.

of colonists known as Los Pobladores from Loreto to California in 1781. He and his family had signed on with the group headed for Santa Barbara where he was to serve as a Presidio soldier. Born in Santa Barbara, her father was baptized at the Presidio church. In 1839, Barbara married Francisco Arellanes, a descendent of an old family prominent in events of colonization, exploration and conquest of the New World. His father, Don Jos Teodoro Arellanes, was a blueeyed Castilian from Sonora, Mexico. In the 1840s he was awarded two land grants, Guadalupe Rancho and El Rincon. By 1853, Teodoro Arellanes owned several adobe complexes and parcels of land in the town of Santa Barbara, none of which remain today. Members of this branch of the family came to Mexico with Hernn Cortez, who defeated the Aztecs and secured the lands of Mexico for Spain. In 1866, one of Barbara and Franciscos daughters, Maria de las Angustias Crisogona Arellanes married a gringo, Francis M. Kirk, in the adobe church of Nuestra Seora de los Dolores, which was located on the corner of State and Figueroa streets. In 1872, the parents deeded the land

to Francis M. Kirk for the sum of $350 gold coin. Over the years Frank supported the family as a carpenter, and by 1880 he and Angustias had five children, of which Carlos was one. At some point Carlos Kirk, as boys are wont to do, carved his initials in the frame of the front door, and his mark has been preserved to this day.

The McCurdy/Hart Connection
In 1887, Alice McCurdy Hart and her sister, Gertrude G. McCurdy, became owners of the Kirk-Arellanes Adobe. The Harts had come to Santa Barbara from Ohio in 1872 for the health of Alices banker and merchant husband. After he died, Alice and her 10-yearold daughter, Louise, lived with her elderly farmer-turned-capitalist father, A.L. McCurdy, her sister Gertrude, and their Chinese servant Ah Fou. A. L. McCurdy was quite wealthy and invested heavily in Santa Barbara real

estate. He died in 1886, and the following year the sisters purchased the historic adobe. In 1896, Alice McCurdy Hart purchased land in Romero Canyon and established El Refugio. She partnered with W.A. Alexander and Ralph Radcliffe Whitehead, creator of the Arcady estate in Montecito, to form a water company, which tunneled into the wall of the canyon to leach water from the sandstone formation. After her death in 1912, her half of the KirkArellanes property was deeded to her daughter Louise who retained control of the Romero Canyon ranch and its rambling single story ranch house. Whitehead and his wife, Jane Byrd McCall Whitehead, were students of the social reformer John Ruskin and devotees of the Arts and Crafts movement. They had moved to Santa Barbara in the hopes of establishing a utopian artistic community. Contemporaries described their home as romantically pre-Raphaelite with a mystic quality that was far removed from the world of that day. Louise Hart was considered to be a brilliant, artistic, and eccentric woman. She found the Whiteheads lifestyle quite alluring, and she caused quite a scandal dancing under the moonlight in diaphanous gowns on various Montecito estates. Many believed her friendship and interest in Ralph Radcliffe Whitehead led to the temporary separation of Jane and Ralph. As I remember Miss Hart, wrote Ike Bonilla, who lived on the Montecito ranch in 1916 and whose step-father worked for her, she was
a very thin woman with a funny yellowish complexion which my family said was because she was an opium user. Her Chinese cook and houseboy was her constant companion on the ranch, and Ikes mother would not let her offspring go up to main house because there were things going on there children shouldnt see. Louise also had a reputation as a wild and fast driver. Ike said, I remember vividly while passing the Miramar Hotel one time she took her hands off the wheel while doing close to sixty to light a cigarette. She was too frail to crank her Pope-Hartford so she would park on a hill to let the car roll to start it. In town she always parked by the fire station so the firemen would start it for her. Louise had a town home at 1120 Laguna Street and often brought the Bonilla kids to town. On two of these occasions, she drove straight to a large house on a hill at Figueroa and Garden streets where she let them off. Though Ike didnt know it, this was the old Arellanes-Kirk Adobe which she co-owned with her aunt Gertrude. Louise was wont to wear a kimono that fell open in the front and under which she wore nothing but loose shorts. Ike recalled, She did not seem to care how much of her body she showed even though it was far from being beautiful. Though he was only 11-years-old at the time, the worldly Ike felt he was quite knowledgeable in these matters, having helped his uncle with janitorial work at the local vaudeville house. I had seen enough of girls bodies, he wrote, to know that Miss Harts was not in this category. At some point, Ikes mother had seen enough, too, and finally laid down the law. She made his father quit the job and return the family to town. After Louise died in 1921, the Adobe passed very quickly through several owners and residents such as Chester E. Jordan, the Supervisor of the U.S. Forest Service, and later Frank Robinson, the Assistant Superintendant of Agriculture for the U.S. Forest Service. Robinson purchased the adobe in 1925, by which time it had grown some frame additions. John and Marie Gorham rented the frame and adobe home in 1933, and Marie petitioned the City Planning Commission for permission to operate a lunchroom. She wanted to serve healthy luncheons to about twelve persons by appointment only. She promised to not put a sign out and said her next-door neighbors had no objection. It would be an advantage to the many winter visitors to get the food their doctors order, and added interest to get it in an old adobe, she wrote in her letter to the Commission. 18 25 April 2013

Coup De Grace
by Grace Rachow
Ms. Rachow says every big, old house is better with kids and dogs and interesting things going on in the trees.
The Old House Across the Street

heres a commotion coming from the neighbors oak. Its beautifully shaped and just the right accent for the 85-year-old Dutch Colonial two-story home across the street. The tree has always reminded me of the one the Swiss Family Robinson lived in. A couple of years back, the house was sold temporarily to a middleaged couple from Los Angeles who wanted to remodel the house and take that oak out. Otherwise they seemed like nice enough people, but the fact that they didnt love that tree bothered me. Luckily these buyers got cold feet when they learned that the house had been extensively colonized by honeybees. And the renovation itself would include the works, a new foundation, plumbing, heating and electrical, not to mention a fleet of sanders to remove the decades worth of peeling paint on the clapboard and multipaned windows. The house was sold again, this time to a couple with two young boys. Id always thought the big, old house needed a family with kids, but I wondered if this young family had the capital and the emotional stamina it would take to see this rehab project through to the end. The renovation across the street began in 2011 on the heels of a yearlong rebuild our next-door neighbors had just completed. So we were accustomed to the hammering and frequent whine of power saws. Our street continued to be lined with the pickup trucks of the construction workers. I stopped counting debris-filled dumpsters at 20. This big old house was exchanged, bit-by-bit, for a house that looked the same as the old, but beautifully transformed, almost as if it had been Photoshopped into perfection. It wasnt magic. It was hard work, and this family clearly was keeping the building industry alive and well on the South Coast. Of course, it can be challenging at times to live in the midst of someone elses construction project. It helped a lot that all our neighbors are extremely likeable, wonderful, funny, friendly people. Besides, we had our own projects and new pups, Tashie and Nell, to keep us distracted for the duration. After more than a year, the building permit was signed off, and our across-the-street neighbors moved in. I figured thered be a few months of
finish work. Then the Colonial would be the perfect gem of the neighborhood, and peace would reign. The very day I had that thought, I noticed a gigantic backhoe parked across the street. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, our neighbors were going to have a backyard pool. Digging, pouring concrete, and finish work took three more months. While the rumbling went on outside, the interior decoration projects went on inside. The summer was dusty and hot, and the neighbor boys waited eagerly for their swimming hole. Finally, on a particularly hot day in August, the pool was ready. The sounds of construction were traded for the splashing of exuberant cannon balls a lovely sound to behold. Id said many times that old house across the street needed kids, and the boys definitely made their presence known now. To perfect the picture, all they needed was a great family dog. A few months later, once it was too cold and rainy to swim, these neighbors got a pair of puppies, Simon and Angus, curly-coated males of speculative origin. Probably there was poodle in the mix, but the rest was a mystery. The first question everyone asked was, What kind of dogs are they? We advised them to make up a breed. I think theyre Yucatan otter hounds, my husband suggested. And so it came to pass that our female pups got handsome boyfriends from south of the border. And our neighbors had the challenge of incorporating the training of puppies into their perfectly renovated and redecorated home. Theyd managed to stay calm and cool throughout their remodeling project, something I know I could not have managed. I wondered if the addition of destructive puppy teeth would create the tipping point to sour their good-natured outlook about it all. Amazingly, our neighbors continued smiling and kept coming up with more and more home improvement projects. That brings me back to the commotion in the oak across the street. The neighbors pups are barking below, and a ladder leads up into the branches. The dad and the two boys are working up there with tools, building materials, and architectural plans approved by the Swiss Family Robinson. I always thought that old oak needed a tree house. MJ
as its Board Chair, was accused of a number of banking violations and had taken TARP funds, which to the best of my knowledge have not been repaid. I believe the investigation is still continuing. In final response to Mr. Chubbs assertion that I strayed into nonsense by suggesting that Fannie and Freddie, along with Mr. Frank and Mr. Dodd, were a large part of the housing collapse, I will let the public decide who is more nonsensical Mr. Chubb or me. Obama The Big Spender Regarding Mr. Chubbsconcern that I am being non-factual when I state that Mr. Obama has not made an honest effort to reinin spending, I will once more ask Mr. Chubb to think about the facts. Mr. Obama admittedly inherited an economy that was challenged when he took office on January 20, 2009, but the fact is that he has been given most everything he has asked for by Congress and any fair-minded person will tell you the money has not been well spent. Reducing spending is not the same as reducing the growth in spending. The rationale behind Mr. Chubbs comment that government spending has declined markedly, once you factor out the automatic spending triggered by the collapse, reminds one of Marion Barry. The former Mayor of Washington commented: If you dont include murder, the crime rate in Washington, D.C. is down. Mr. Chubb is correct that spending on social welfare programs increase when people lose their jobs. Fact: for each new job created during the Obama administration seven more people went on Food Stamps. How to solve that problem? Help create more jobs, not manage the percentage of unemployed for political reasons. What do I mean by that? If the same number of people that were looking for jobs in January of 2009 were looking for jobs today, the percentage of unemployed would be in excess of 10%. That is a fact. I am still trying to understand why the number of people receiving disability payments has increased over 25% since the President took office. One more fact while I am at it: the President and his party have not attempted to enact even one of the recommendations of SimpsonBowles. Obama Phones Nowhere did I say that the free cell phone program was started under President Obama, and I was wrong if I gave the impression that it was a federal government program. What I did say is that over 40% of those who receive the benefits of this program do not qualify to receive the benefits.
LETTERS (Continued from page 9)
If the Federal Government started to investigate whether the providers were trying to make an excess profit on the program (the government definition of excess profit is often synonymous with any profit), one hopes they would use their good offices to make sure the people receiving free cell phones were qualified to do so in the first place. Finally, let me respond to Mr. Chubbs assault on me for being in favor of making it more difficult for certain groups of people to vote. I would only respond to Mr. Chubb by saying that for the first time in his rebuttal he strays toward emotion. I am sorry that in order to receive a privilege in this country it sometimes requires work on behalf of the beneficiary. In that past century when this country denied the right of women to vote it would have been a travesty for women to have given up because there were some roadblocks between them and the achievement of their goal. As I have stated, this is not about denying anyone the right to vote; it is about simple fairness of process. I have to believe that if anyone really wanted to vote and were denied access to the voter booth because of money, some organization government or privately funded group would resolve that issue. Wait! I just thought of a solution: lets go to the folks at ACORN and ask if they can help. Wait! Just fact-checked: one of the Presidents favorite organizations is not functioning as robustly as it once did. In closing, Mr. Chubb, I am glad I was able to provide you with a little amusement as that certainly was my goal when I first responded to Ms Wilkinsons letter. I am somewhat saddened that you make the presumption that I am wealthy, as we do not even know each other. If you define wealth by one having a great family and wonderful friends, I am one of the richest men in the world. If you define wealth by dollars, frankly that fact is between Governor Brown, Barack Obama and me; after what they take each year, please give them a call and tell me if I am rich. It is unfortunate that you would use class warfare thinking in your response. So,Mr. Chubb, why dont Ms Wilkinson, you, and I get together for a cup of coffee sometime? I know some really good nonpolitical jokes. Ralph T. Iannelli Montecito (Editors note: We apologize to a number of letter writers whose prose failed to make it into this issue because of the rather lengthy give and take between Mr. Chubb and Mr. Iannelli. Those letters, however, will be printed in our very next issue. J.B.) MJ 18 25 April 2013
On Entertainment
by Steven Libowitz Fiedel Having Time Of His Life With Borrowed Time
o borrow a line from his most famous film score, Brad Fiedel is baaack. The composer of Terminator, True Lies and Blue Steel, to name just three of his most popular movies, stepped away from the Hollywood scene after 25 years in the business to begin a search for more meaning in his life and career. That nearly 15-year saga took him deep into surfing and then working on a planned big Broadway musical before he realized he needed to strip things down and get more personal. The result is Borrowed Time, a new one-man musical that traces his artistic career and the choices and compromises he made along the way, and the eventual path to greater self-fulfillment. The heartfelt journey plays out in songs that he had already composed before working on the show, but none of which had ever been played in public despite his vast commercial success in scoring for film and TV. With his wife, actress Ann Dusenberry, serving as director, Fiedel is premiering Borrowed Time April 25-26 at Center Stage Theater in downtown Santa Barbara. He talked about the genesis of the show earlier this week. Q. The one-man show is basically the story of your career, is that right? A. Everything that happens in the show is true. But its in shorthand. Its about my artistic journey, the breaks, the disappointments, the awakening, all of which I play out in scenes, but also songs that I wrote. How did it come about? We started working on it eighteen months ago. I had come through my career and left Hollywood, and got into some other things. I learned how to surf at age fifty and later took on a project of building a mini surf hotel down in Mexico. But I hit this place, maybe feeling a bit stuck and depressed, and eventually I realized I really hadnt used my voice, actually sat down and played the piano and sang for many years. So I made this commitment that I was going to get up every morning and play and sing for at least a half hour. And in doing that, I started remembering all these songs I wrote as a young guy years ago. Then there were things Id developed for projects that never got produced. The songs started to come back to me and I eventually I was reminded what my dream was as a sixteen year old coming of age in the sixties: that Id help the world, help wake people up, with songs I wrote about what I saw in the world. But my 18 25 April 2013

life had gone a different way. I can talk about it almost like its someone else even though its me and Im playing it. Because we did have to simplify it and play with the chronology to make it work as a show, and have more of a dramatic shape. To me its about a musicians dream of what to do with his talent, and how he got seduced into another direction before he eventually finds his way back to his souls purpose, to things that make him feel right with the world. You talk about sacrifice and struggle, and dissatisfaction. But you made it. You wrote scores for many successful movies, made a lot of money, moved to Montecito and all that. Maybe this is just playing Devils Advocate, but why werent you happy? Frankly, that is one of the challenges I had with the show. From the outside, there was that stereotypical idea of what happiness is. A lot of musician friends dont get it, either. What was my problem? But the way that I am built I graduated high school in 1969, and I started hanging out with Black Panthers and Weatherman and got tear-gassed in Washington there was this real sense that we were going to change the world. That was instilled in me. So I felt that somehow I had to do something and not just be successful and make money. So I was doing well, but it wasnt all rosy. Its mostly in hindsight, but I was melancholy. It took me a long time to understand what was bothering me. I knew in my heart and soul I wasnt living the life that I had promised myself I would. Can I switch gears and ask you about the Terminator score? It was Jims (Cameron) first real movie, he had this vision and he was like a bulldog. Stuck to his guns. And one of those things he wanted was me because hed heard some of my experimental work of synthesizers with piano, a combo of organic and electronic sound. I had a pretty strong rhythmic sense, too, and I think it really intrigued him We were all at the right place at the right time. I felt his energy, and the relentlessness and edge of this film, which was taking Sci-Fi and action to a new level, and I challenged myself musically to find new ways to support his vision. I wanted the music to sound like the heartbeat of this bizarre mechanical but smart thing. And the love theme, I chose to score it with solo piano, and when Jim first heard it, he was like Whoa, I would never have gone that way, but I love the emotionality youre bringing out. It was a good collaboration.
Youre doing these shows as a benefit for the Center Stage Theaters Renter Scholarship Fund. How did that come about? Its one of the best places in Santa Barbara for people to do new work. You can live out your creative ideas on stage and be out there with good lights and sound and whatever seating arrangement you want because its a black box that you can mold to however you want it. And they even give grants. Ive been very successful and I want to give back to the arts. Whats next for Borrowed Time? This is like a calling card. But its more. We hope to go into communities with the show because we think its a universal story. The core center of it is about following your dream, putting into action that thing you have inside you that is unique, or at least pursuing it. Im hoping well take it on tour as a benefit, working with organizations that support the arts in their communities. Ideally, Id like for Ann and I to go in and have a workshop over a weekend after doing the show. There is a very limited idea of what the arts can be for kids. Its not just violin or drawing still life. Its about creative thinking whether its science or math. So we need to train our kids to improvise and make things up and who knows where that will become of service to humanity. Its like Im an evangelist of improvisation and creativity. Brad Fiedel performs Borrowed Time at Center Stage Theater next Wednesday and Thursday, April 25-26. Tickets cost $25 general, $20 students. Call 963-0408 or visit www.centerstagetheater.org.
BASSH Turns Into Mash-Up
For more than a decade, local professional dance teachers and their students got together for a weekend of performances dubbed BASSH, representing the styles that made up the events acronym Ballroom, Argentine Tango, Swing, Salsa and Hip Hop. But now its gone. In its place is Synergy, a genre-blending collaboration that features much of the same personnel hip-hop regulars Tamarr Paul and Kara Stewart, swing veteran Derrick Curtis, and Latin fave Felipe Castanda among them but in a brand new format. The choreographers were required to combine dance styles in a Glee-style mash-up rather than simply showcasing them individually in the mish-mash that was
BASSH. And while the result isnt quite as mushy as something that might come out of a Vitamix on high, the concoctions created will assuredly have some unusual flavors. What comes out is purely up to the creative imagination of the choreographers themselves. We wanted BASSH to morph into something more modern, explained Sheila Caldwell, the executive director of the Santa Barbara Dance Alliance, the umbrella organization that is sponsoring Synergy. The whole community worked on bringing it all together. The line-up includes Perfect Harmony, blending Hip-Hop, Chinese Dance and Martial Arts; City Life, bringing together Hip-Hop, Salsa, Latin and Tap; and Lets Fly Away, combining Aerial and Ballroom. Kara Stewart and Audrey Uhland are co-creating a hip-hop and ballet blend segment, the UCSB Dance Company is pairing with WHAT to mash-up contemporary and street dance, and Santa Barbara veteran Robin Bisio is coming together with La Petite Chouettes Ninette Paloma to make a modern/aerial concoction. Each one has its own little story, Caldwell said. They shared ideas, and tried to figure out what to do that would be cohesive. The idea wasnt just to have two things going at the same time, but marry them together. For Bisio, who also choreographed the bee-related piece that premiered at Lotusland last weekend and is far more familiar with site specific work via previous work with the Museum of Art and the Santa Barbara Film Festival, the assignment represented an exciting challenge. Mostly, Ninette just looked at the film were also using, and devised movements for her aerialist, Bisio said. I wouldnt have had any idea how to match something to what she does. So her dancer is making movements in the air that go with what were doing on the ground below. Were working on having it connect even more, on emotional and aesthetic levels. Ive learned a lot about rope and sling, more about aerial dancing that I ever thought I would. So now were hopefully not speaking two completely different languages anymore. Ive got a lot more respect for other genres now. So perhaps Synergy has already accomplished part of its purpose of bringing the local dance community together. Its about learning about each other, working together and honoring each other, Caldwell said. Its great having all these different genres playing off each other, like theyre playing together in a sandbox. Synergy takes place at 6pm Sunday night, April 21 at the Lobero. Tickets are $30 general, $18 students [$50 patron tickets include a post-performance soiree with refreshments and appetizers]. Call the Lobero at 963-0762 or visit www.lobero.com.

She spoke of the Good Choices program where kids watch videos of kids being treated well. She asked some of the local boys and girls club members what they got out of it. To not steal. I started helping my mom, setting a good example for younger children, leadership, were among the values they learned. The events honorees were Gerald Thede and the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. Eidelman told us,
Gerald has been on our board for twenty years. He is a true supporter and advocate for increasing services to our children. He has led and been a participant in numerous campaigns. In honoring him we help to honor the past. We honor the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians because it has supported the club for many years. They think about how they can use their financial, personal and personnel resources for the greater good. The dessert dash is a favorite game of this event with the table bidding the most getting to run for their dessert first. This year it raised an impressive $20,000. There are 1,500 kids who attend the club, learning to have self worth and to become productive and responsible citizens. As they say in Monopoly, Pass Go and Go For It! MJ

he Westmont Mens Polo Team won its first national title, beating Colorado State 19-16 in the U.S. Polo Association National Intercollegiate Championship April 13 at the ERG Arena in Brookshire, Texas. The game was very close and hard fought the whole way through, team captain Patrick Uretz says. The CSU Rams played amazing, it was a fastpaced battle until the end, but we were able to play strong as a team and grind out the win in the end. I will remember bringing the national title back to the West Coast for the first time since 1986, winning Westmonts first-ever national polo title and being able to share that win with my brother, Tony. The Warriors beat defending champions University of Virginia 15-13 on April 11 and Southern Methodist University 19-12 on April 9 to reach the finals. Last year, the Warriors came in second place after narrowly losing to UVA in the national championship game at Cornell University in New York. This years Westmont team included David Samaniego, Tony Uretz, Ky Koebele, Jake Bergman and Taylor Longo. The players workout with John Westley five to six days a week from November through April, riding horses on loan from the Santa Barbara Youth Polo Association.
Ive tried to get to nationals for twelve years and never have been able to, says John Westley, owner/ operator of the Santa Barbara Polo School who has coached the team for the past 13 years. Going in the tournament seeded fourth or fifth and winning the whole thing is a Davidand-Goliath story. Weve always been on the back burner, little Westmont with 1,200 kids, and we ran over the top of them. Its very satisfying. I am proud of them. Unlike students at larger universities, the Westmont team members do not receive scholarships to play polo. The NFL has a salary cap and owners can only spend a certain amount on players, otherwise just the rich guys get the good teams, Westley says. We dont have a cap in collegiate polo. Westmont gives scholarships for academic attributes rather than poloplaying ability. When the team arrived in Texas, Westley learned that two of his top players, Patrick and Tony, were battling flu-like symptoms. I thought this isnt going to be our year because there are still a lot of good players on UVA, CSU and SMU, Westley says. I said next year will be our year since all three of my starters will be playing, and well be strong. But as luck would have it, we ended up getting it done this year. It was quite a surprise. MJ

The Year of Magical Thinking runs through Sunday... Seasons at the Symphony Santa Barbara Symphonys latest concert at the Granada created quite a colorful splash when scenic artist Jett Green, who began her career at movie producer George Lucass Industrial, Light and Magic, joined the talented musicians in painting her interpretation of the music on four canvases during the performance of Russian Alexander Glazunovs 1899 work, The Seasons, which was projected onto a large screen above the stage. The seasons theme pervaded the show, which kicked off in grand style with Vivaldis Four Seasons, with the orchestra under Hungarian guest conductor, Gregory Vajda, former maestro of the Oregon Symphony for seven years. Soloist Nigel Armstrong, who recently came to international attention as a finalist in the 14th Tchaikovsky International Competition, played the work admirably in the penultimate concert of the symphonys 60th season. Another evening to savor... Creating a Buzz Bees Circling Heaven, a dance opera by Santa Barbara choreographer Robin Bisio, had fans swarming to Lotusland to catch the performance in the estates theatre garden. The show, performed in conjunction with the Nancy Gifford-curated exhibit Swarm: A Collaboration With Bees, which opened in the Pavilion Gallery last month, featured Montecito quartet Weslie Ching, Bonnie Crotzer, Monica Ford and Kaita Lepore suitably costumed in bee yellow outfits designed by State Street Ballets Anaya Cullen. Accompanying the show was the band Ghost Tiger, with the musicians Alixandra Macmillan-Fiedel, Emma Huston, Kevin Evans, Christopher Norlinger and Christopher Stansell performing a number of original songs.

Afterwards guests, including Gretchen Lieff, Christopher Pilafian, Joanne Holderman and the gardens executive director, Gwen Stauffer, attended a reception featuring, appropriately enough, honey tastings and specialty drinks. A buzzing occasion, to be sure... Enchanting El Encanto The new re-opened El Encantos ballroom hosted its first charity event when the CAMA Womens Board organized The Rite of Spring lunch for 150 guests at the tony hostelry, raising around $20,000. The bash, co-chaired by Deborah Bertling and Ruth Matuszecki, featured supporters, including Chris Emmons, Carla Hahn, Betty Stephens, Ed Birch and Bob Montgomery, in a Saks Fifth Avenue fashion show organized by Bitsy Bacon, Beverly Hanna, Patti Ottoboni and Diana Phillips. Before the lunch, guests including Sara Miller McCune, Leni Fe Bland, Lee Luria, Catherine Gee, Tim Owens, Mary Garton, Sheila Bourke McGinity and Kimberly Phillips, quaffed champagne and oriental canaps from French chef, Patrice Martineau, who formerly worked at the Peninsula in Tokyo. Classical guitarist Chris Fossek and harpist Lynette Johnson provided musical accompaniment. A live auction, conducted by Steve Epstein, featured dinner for ten at a Montecito estate, an air tour to the Channel islands and a four-day stay in New York. A most swellegant debut...
Royal Ball The Pacific Pride Foundations second annual Royal Ball at the Bacara was undoubtedly the ritziest and creatively colorful shindig of the year. Inhibitions most definitely left at the door, more than 600 guests garishly garbed in the most outrageous of outfits or next to nothing, partied the night away, with tickets to the boffo bash sold out months ago. Montecito event planning czarina, Merryl Brown, pulled out all the stops along with Rrivre Works, draping the swank hostelrys massive ballroom in gray fabric with crystal chandeliers and crystal drops of varying length hanging throughout the room, which

had a series of royal boxes, each decorated in opulent European style with couches, chaises and oversized coffee tables, all with floating candles and fresh flowers. It really was a major party of contrasts, gushes Merryl. Star and fire, elegance and humility, conservative meets eccentric. We wanted to create something visually unique and awe inspiring, with thought provoking and decidedly unusual eccentric elements. Costumed stilt walkers, drag queens and go-go dancers only added to the vibrant gala, which was co-chaired by actor Neil Patrick Harris and husband, David Burtka, Iron Chef Cat Cora and wife, Jennifer, 20th Century Fox TVs chairman Gary Newman and L.A. talent attorney wife, Jeanne, actress Jane Lynch and her wife, Lara Embry, and actor and singer Shaun Cassidy and his wife, Tracey.

Broadway shows like Candide and The Music Man, before beginning a successful cabaret career in the 70s, where I last caught her singing at Manhattans Cafe Carlyle while regular, the late Bobby Short, was on vacation at his home in the south of France. After 23 years absence, she returned to the Great White Way three years ago in Sondheim on Sondheim, which garnered her a Tony nomination, some 53 years after getting her first award for The Music Man.

Blood, Thought, Muscle & Grace Over at the Hatlen Theater it was UCSBs Department of Theater and Dance that impressed with Blood, Thought, Muscle & Grace, under concert director Mira Kingsley. The seven-part performance kicked off with Submarine Races, an amusing piece choreographed by Molly McCord featuring several female dancers paying apparent homage to a cut out of a body builder, with the first half wrapping with Requiem of Bubbles, an aquatic and acrobatic delight about a boys grief over the death of his goldfish arranged by Christina McCarthy. The show ended with Jose Limons Suite from Psalm, which debuted in 1967 at the American Dance Festival in New London, Connecticut, which was designed and re-constructed by Alice Condodina, cutting the original 18 25 April 2013

An entertaining, highly energized concert... Rest In Peace On a personal note, I mourn the loss of rubber-faced comedian Jonathan Winters, who has left us at the age of 87. Known for his improv work that inspired a host of contemporary stand-up comedians, including Jim Carrey and Robin Williams, Jonathan was never off stage, performing to complete strangers, be it at the Montecito Coffee Shop, one of his favorite hangouts, or in front of millions on the Tonight Show with Jack Paar and Johnny Carson.

Our Town

r. Laly Lichtenfeld, Executive Director of the African People & Wildlife Fund (APW) arrived in our town from Tanzania, courtesy of Montecitean Ann Smith. Ann, a board member of the APW for eight years, splits her time between Montecito and Jackson Hole, Wyoming; she spends all of her time preserving endangered wildlife and nature. Ann invited me to write an exclusive on Lalys visit to Montecito, and attend a fundraiser tea at the home of Gerry and Imaging Spence, described by Ann as an inviting place full of art and fabrics from all over the world. And indeed it was. The tea was attended by Tipper Gore and her daughter Sarah Gore Lee, Haley McGuire, Carolee Krieger, Jutta Maue Kay, Marilee Gordon, Annie Trout, Pam Strickfaden, Helga Morris, Heather Sturgess, Barbara Savage, Marilyn Gevirtz, Diana Basehart, Allison and Glenn Leopold, and Bonnie Munroe Burgess. Laly told me that she always had a desire to work in Africa, and to find her niche to help its people and wildlife. A research affiliate of Yale Universitys School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Laly has over 15 years of experience in East Africa working with large carnivores, local communities and village-based conservation programs. She received a Ph.D. from Yale University in 2005 for her research combining wildlife ecology and social ecology in an interdisciplinary study of human-lion relationships, interactions and conflicts. She is a member of the African Lion Working Group, the Yale Large Carnivore Group as well as a recipient of the Fulbright Award. Her work has been featured on National Geographic Wild and the Discovery Channel Canada. Her organization, APW, began in 2001 as the People & Predators Project, a non-profit organization based at Yale University. Originally focused on applied research and the challenges of conserving Africas large carnivores,

the organization made its final transition to the African People & Wildlife Fund, reflecting both its expanded mission and its long-term commitment to the African continent in 2008. In addition, the Tanzania People & Wildlife Fund (TPW) was registered in the United Republic of Tanzania as APWs first sister organization. Q. How are you involved in Lalys organization and where do you see it heading? Ann: I met Laly and her husband, Charles, eight years ago in Jackson Hole, and after visiting them in Tanzania, realized that they have a very special vision and dedication to the Maasai people and to the wildlife of Tanzania. I decided to join the board and have visited them on six occasions and continue to be astounded by the innovative programs they are introducing to the adults and children of the Maasai Steppe. Lions and leopards are being protected by minimizing conflicts between the Maasai people and these large cats, and their work is being recognized by National Geographic and others. I believe that in the near future, people will recognize her name just as they do Jane Goodall. What separates the African People & Wildlife Fund from similar organizations? Laly: Our unique attributes include our place-based approach, the comprehensive breadth of our programs, and our deep community relations.
Tell us about the handbags for auction and where they are made. Ann: The purses are made in Nairobi, Kenya by African Lily. The company was founded by a couple who spent their lives in Italy working for a high-end leather company and when they retired to Nairobi, they were bored and felt they were not making a contribution to society. They founded the company and hired fifteen HIV positive men and women from the slum who they trained to produce the purses and other items made from leather, which is abundant in Kenya. The results are stunning, fashionable and durable. So it is a win-
win for everyone! I have been to the workshop and observed the people who are so proud of the finished product. I purchase the items and donate them to our sales so that 100% of the proceeds go to the African People & Wildlife Fund. Where will the money raised by the auction be earmarked for the Fund? Laly: Funds raised at the event will be put towards our on-the-ground activities on the Maasai Steppe including Living Wall installations (environmentally-friendly lion proof livestock corrals), youth and adult environmental education and the support of our Warriors for Wildlife teams to combat poaching.

Thursday, April 18 Bowls New Order Actually, things have not changed dramatically over at the already gorgeous amphitheater at the intersection of Milpas and Anapamu that serves as Santa Barbaras answer to Red Rocks, our own little slice of summer concert heaven. What is happening is that New Order, the hugely successful British band that reformed one more time just 18 months ago, kicks off the season at the outdoor venue tonight. The band, which formed out of the remnants of Joy Division way back in 1980, successfully blended new wave rock and dance-electronica to create a new sensation that captured ears on both sides of the pond. Bad Lieutenant bassist Tom Chapman replaces original member Peter Hook in the New Orders current lineup which also includes keyboardist Gillian Gilbert returning to the fold after a decade joining original members Bernard Sumner and Stephen Morris. Theres even a new release: Lost Sirens, an eight-track album of cuts excised from 2004s Waiting for the Sirens Call, New Orders last album of new material. Opening is Johnny Marr, a fellow Brit who co-founded The Smiths at 18 in 1982, and whose other output includes projects with New Orders Sumner in 1988, 1996 and 1999. Most recently, Marr worked with Hans Zimmer on the electronic heavy score to Christopher Nolans trippy time/ space-shifting film Inception The second part of the grand opening

The Hungarianborn master musician has earned a sterling reputation for his concentrated studies of the major keyboard works, with focused recitals of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Schumann and Bartk, but post Glenn Gould, hes assuredly the most prominent proponent of the keyboard works of Bach, who he has long proclaimed stands at the core of his music making. The critics agree: There is nothing more reliable in the world of classical music today than Andrs Schiff playing Bach, raved The New York Times. His performance

More offspring blues Lurrie Bell was only 5 when he first picked up his fathers guitar and taught himself to play. But he had pretty good genes: dad is Carey Bell, the famed blues harmonica player who spent years in Muddy Waters band, and also often exposed young Lurrie to Chicago blues greats including Eddie Taylor, Big Walter Horton and Sunnyland Slim, among others. At 7, Lurrie did the reverse migration, leaving Chicago for Mississippi (and his grandparents) for seven years, where he honed his skills in gospel in church. By 19, back in Chicago, he was in a band called The Sons of Blues with Freddie Dixon (son of Willie) and Billy Branch, and at 20 he joined Koko Taylors band. After a series of personal problems, Bell resurfaced in the 1990s to release a slew of albums on his own and in collaboration with his dad and others, and in 2008 he was named Living Blues Magazines Artist of the Year, and earned a Grammy nomination in 2011 for a project with Billy Boy Arnold, John Primer and Billy Branch. Bells singing and playing remains lyrical and elegant, but also intense and stinging is the best Chicago style. Saturday afternoon, he leads his band for a blues brunch concert at soho, a rare afternoon blues show at the popular nightclub/restaurant.

WHEN: 8pm WHERE: Lobero Theatre, 33 E. Canon Perdido Street COST: $48-$63 INFO: 9630761 or www.lobero.com Saturday, April 20 From Down Under to Hell Veteran Australian singer-songwriter Paul Kelly is a virtual national hero back home, but has always been more of a cult favorite in the U.S., despite having a vast and impressive catalogue marked by songs that are both far-reaching in exploration of human emotions and economical in construct. Kelly has just released Spring and Fall, his 19th studio album but first of new material in five years and one that exhibits depth and verbal eloquence in what he calls a spare song cycle that showcases Kellys ability to pack a lot of material into terse offerings. The collection features fine new additions to the Kelly catalogue including the thematically related When a Woman Loves a Man, New Found Year, Someone New and Time and Tide. Perhaps it might be enough to earn the Aussie hero some stateside love, too, as Kelly is coming back round the world for a lengthy American tour that begins Saturday night in Santa Barbara, when the master musical storyteller headlines in the next to last Sings Like Hell concert before the Lobero Theatre undergoes a six-month renovation. Opening is Sam Baker, a singersongwriter who had to relearn the use of his body and brain after a Peruvian train bombing almost killed him in 1986. He released a trilogy of hauntingly spare and evocative albums called mercy, pretty world and cotton from 2004-09; say grace, his newest collection, is due this summer.

Lewis and the avowed atheist and father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud had gotten together for a little discussion about the existence of God? Thats the premise behind Freuds Last Session, a 2010 play by Mark St. Germain that takes its inspiration from Dr. Armand S. Nicholi Jr.s 2003 book The Question of God. The meeting of the minds is set in Freuds London office in 1939, just a few weeks before Freuds death and a full decade before former atheist Lewis would begin writing The Chronicles of Narnia. Former Montecito actor Ed Giron and local thespian Justin Stark, who appeared together in Frost/Nixon, portray Freud and Lewis, respectively, and their familiarity should help in this piece that finds the principals debating and analyzing 18 25 April 2013

Mahalo Mahal Blues great Taj Mahal has nearly 50 years of recording, 25 albums, two Grammy awards and a whole host of rock and roll legends from the Rolling Stones to Etta James and Eric Clapton as friends and collaborators. One of the most influential figures in late-20th century blues, Mahal is also a passionate purveyor of roots and world music, often incorporating elements of any number of genres, from Caribbean and Cuban to jazz, zydeco and gospel into many of his projects. His most recent release is a well-deserved re-visitation of his Complete Columbia Albums Collection, which came in February. Taj is no stranger to Santa Barbara, having played several venues around town in various configurations. Tonight, he returns to UCSB in a trio format that also features guest vocalist Shemekia Copeland, the daughter of the late Texas blues guitar legend Johnny Clyde Copeland who was newly-crowned Queen of the Blues in 2011. Copeland is no genre-bending slouch herself: the latest album of her 15-year career, 2012s 33 1/3, which features covers of Bob Dylan, Sam Cooke, Randy Weeks, Lucinda Williams and her dad, was nominated for a Grammy.

Art|Architecture on Film UCSB Arts & Lectures film series that reveals the stories behind some of the most fascinating art, artists and architects returns for second year with screenings of four Sunday afternoons in the next month. This years films include a profile of controversial performance artist Marina Abramovi, the riveting tale behind world-famous painter Egon Schieles stolen Portrait of Wally, an incisive and lyrical look at reclusive abstract painter Gerhard Richter, and a portrait of visionary Southern California architect John Lautner. Marina Abramovi: The Artist is Present, Matthew Akers 2012 documentary that kicks off the series, examines Abramovis career and follows her as she prepares herself for undertaking a three-month retrospective at New York s Museum of Modern Art in which she sat silently at a table without eating, drinking or moving, as onlookers were invited to sit across from her, for 7 hours a day.

The newly-thriving Plaza Playhouse Theatre might be the perfect, intimate venue for the production, directed by Montecito resident Jerry Oshinsky.

The movie delves into the difficult lives of the street kids of Durban, South Africa who face constant violence, rape, trafficking, abductions and murder, and have next to no way out. Director Billy Raftery and producer Adam Paul Smith will be on hand for a Q&A session following the screening. WHEN: 7pm WHERE: Pollock Theater, UCSB campus COST: $45 INFO: 893-5903

Thursday, April 25
Animal invasion The London-based theater company 1927s new show The Animals and Children Took to the Streets was a big hit at the 2011 Edinburgh Festival, and has since gone on to receive rave reviews from critics all over Europe and the U.S. The action takes place in The Bayou, a dystopian metropolis squirming with cockroaches and unrest described as equal parts Charles Dickens and Tim Burton. When Agnes Eaves and her daughter arrive late one night, does it signal hope in this hopeless place, or has the real horror only just begun? The piece is a journey of startling originality that features live music, clever performances and stunning animation, a genre-smashing marvel that comes across like a graphic novel burst into life. Animals was called jaw-droppingly clever and gloriously subversive parable (The Guardian) and A mind-blowingly beautiful piece of theatre (Time Out London) back home in Britain, but the Washington Post was also blown away, saying, The amazing dreamscapes illuminated by the actresses and their beautifully drawn co-stars allow (the show) to act like triple shots of espresso to the imagination. 1927 Theater, founded in 2005 by writer, performer and director Suzanne Andrade and animator and illustrator Paul Barritt who are also the creative team behind Animals makes its Santa Barbara debut Thursday night at Campbell Hall.

Spamapalooza
It was called a Spamaluck (as opposed to a potluck) but it really was a Spamapalooza, aptly named by the resident Music and Songwriter Hall-of-Famer Jeff Barry, who, along with his wife, Nancy, invited parents and students involved in the upcoming SBHS production of Spamalot to join them in a potluck lunch at their
Tuscan-styled Montecito home. The only catch was that everyone who brought a dish had to include Spam as a main ingredient. Ted Simmons, looking tired and spent, was there with his talented wife, Kelly, and exasperatingly detailed how difficult it was adding Spam to the menu. The pair finally came up with a winning idea: Spam Ruebenstyle sliders with sauerkraut (they were later tagged Spamburgers). It was a vicious morning, he says, it took us at least an hour and a half to put the dish together. The worst part was opening the can of Spam, he adds. I felt like a World War Two veteran. Katie Cusimano arrived a little late, no doubt because of putting the finishing touches on her own win-
The three-judge Spamapalooza panel consisted of Spam experts (from the left) Dani Hahn, Laura Lewis (whose daughter, Allison Lewis was Santa Barbaras very first Teen Star), and Bill Hahn; it was unanimous: the Spam Rueben-style sliders put smiles on their faces (and a significant amount of agitation in their lower intestines) and won hands down.

Another big hit at the Barrys Spamapalooza were these pre-packaged 100% Hawaiian Macadamia Nuts with Spam, a favorite of North Shore surfers and Samoans of all sizes

ning dish: Spambrosia was awarded first place for Best Name and Best Presentation. Second place was King Arthurs Crown (puff pastry with cheddar cheese and Spam). The bean dish, Ted notes, was disqualified because there was no Spam in it. The Simmons received a Spam dinner at Louies Restaurant in Santa Barbara for their Herculean effort, as did Ms Cusimano. As for Monty Pythons Spamalot, the play: This is the most elaborate set weve ever built, says SBHS Drama Department head Otto Layman of the
set being constructed for the upcoming high-school production. Which would be impressive indeed, as memories of the spectacular Beauty and the Beast production continue to linger fondly in many minds eyes. It certainly rivals Beauty, Layman says. It has the same feel. The show, directed by Otto Layman, choreographed by Christina McCarthy, with costumes by Lise Lange, set and lights from Mike Madden, music directed by Jon Nathan and vocal direction by Sarah Eglin, begins Friday, April 26 and con-
tinues Saturday April 27, Thursday through Saturday, May 2, 3 and 4, all at 7 pm. There will also be a special Senior Farewell Performance matinee on Sunday May 5 at 2 pm (followed by dinner in the Meadow). Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for seniors and students. If you want to sit up close (and more seriously support Mr. Laymans superior productions), there are some $25 seats available in the front, center. All performances are at the High School Theater on 700 East Anapamu; for tickets go to www.sbhstheatre.com or call 888-979-3667. MJ
