Montecitos Money Manager

Edward Ted Cronin is founder, CEO, and Chairman of the Investment Committee at Manchester Capital Management; he oversees 33 employees in four offices: Manchester (Vermont), New York City, Charlottesville (Virginia) and Montecito

anchester Capital Management CEO, CIO (Chairman of its Investment Committee), and founder Edward Ted Cronin and I are sitting outside Tre Lune on Coast Village Road talking about money, which if you dont live in Montecito, you may believe is a subject that many discuss, but you would be wrong. It is, it seems, the subject least discussed. Sports, cars, women, politics, and health issues are all near the top of the predominately male discussion list. Money is somewhere near the bottom. However, it was brought to my attention recently (via The Wall Street Journal) that there are fewer than 10,000 U.S. citizens with a net worth of $100 million and up. Of those nearly 10,000 souls, 218 of them live in the Santa Barbara-Montecito area. So, I guess its fair to refer to those 218 lucky people as our 2%. Ted Cronins business life has been devoted to helping a number of those two-percenters hold on to and grow their assets. And, as far as we can tell, he is very, very good at what he does. Barrons recently (August 26, 2013 issue) rated Ted and his Manchester Capital Management firm as 27th Best in its eighth annual Top 100 U.S. Independent Financial Advisors ranking based upon total assets under management (over $2.5 billion), overall quality of services, and revenue generated by those investments. Ted has been on Barrons list of the best of the best every year since its inception.

Illinois, but grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, where his father worked as a chemical engineer for DuPont. Ted received his bachelors degree in economics from Williams College, and after graduation had intended to live abroad for a number of years. His brother, Robert, however, had different plans and asked Ted to not be a schmuck, and to come back to the U.S. to be best man at his wedding. It was a big New York City wedding (300 people attended the reception at the Colony Club on Park Avenue), Ted explains, and the bridesmaid was beautiful. He fell in love with her and having fallen in love, abandoned his travels through Thailand and Nepal and married the beautiful Susie Read. Upon his return, he was assigned to start the business of caring for the family assets. He took credit work at Harvard and attended the Kennedy School there, doing course work in portfolio science. Since then, Ive always been involved in managing assets, he says. Manchester Capital Management has offices in Manchester (Vermont), Montecito, New York City, and Charlottesville (Virginia).

Oprahs Sale of the Century!


f you want to get a piece of Montecitos most famous resident, nows your chance! Former TV talk show titan Oprah Winfrey is having her 23,000-sq-ft mansion undergo a major interior design makeover, which leaves a great deal of furniture she no longer requires, and which is going to be sold at a gigantic auction at the Santa Barbara Polo Club on November 2, with a preview the day before, organized by Beverly Hills based Kaminski Auctions. Oprah has decided to give her 42-acre estate a total change as she approaches her 60th birthday in January, hiring top West Hollywood interior designer Rose Tarlow, who is known for her sophisticated, Southern California style which will marry perfectly with the mega manse, just a tiaras toss or two from the Valley

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.

from all the beautiful places Ive ever lived in was me! Shanghai-born Tarlow, who splits her time between Beverly Hills and Londons oh-so-grand Belgravia District, says she wants her rooms to be warm, relaxing and inviting. I hate pretentious rooms, she tells House Beautiful. You should feel at home in your own house. Its your place after all. If my rooms were food, theyd be something like macaroni and cheese with a crusty top. Tickets for the Oprah auction, which will be staged in a giant marquee, are going for $100 each. Those connected with the sale have had to sign non disclosure agreements, says my mole with the martini. Kaminski rep Diane Riva, when reached by telephone, said she couldnt comment on the event until Oprahs spokeswoman gave approval. Stay tuned...

Nick Tolkien premieres latest film

about a former child star, two years ago. Terezin, a story about two Jewish sisters who escape from a concentration camp, took three weeks to film in Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz, but two years for post production editing, with local actor David Brainard, a recent heart transplant recipient, in a leading role. As well as the Tolkien connection, another great grandfather was Nat Steinberg, who supported his mother and two sisters at the age of 13 walking the streets of St. Louis with a Nickelodeon strapped to his chest and later went on to be an executive at RKO Pictures in the 1930s. His son, my grandfather, Mark Steinberg, also worked at RKO directly with Howard Hughes, says Nick. This family connection to the film industry inspired me to become a filmmaker.

LETTERS

TO THE EDITOR

The World As It Is

ou state in your editors note (Letters to the Editor, Disincentives Galore, MJ # 19/38) that the Great Recession ended in 2009 and question the extraordinary growth of the SNAP (food stamp) program. By the definition, yes, the U.S. economy is not in a recession, but annual income in the bottom half of the economy has declined since 2009. The top 1% has taken more than a third of all the income gains. Why are you surprised that nutrition assistance has increased? Its doing what its supposed to: keeping people from starving. You say that most of the SNAP money goes to agribusiness. Again, youre sort of right, but money does not go to agribusiness before that money gets spent on food to feed hungry poor people. You say theres little doubt that many SNAP recipients are illegally obtaining benefits. Did you read that on the Internet, so it has to be correct? You dont have any verified data to support the assertion because its not true. And finally, Im not half so sorry for your feckless Uncle Billy as for the actual folks my wife works with at Transition House, who are homeless, trying hard to get back on the ladder out of poverty, but trapped by the powerful ignoramuses currently dictating the failure of government in the

Republican-controlled House. You may not see things that way, but youre not looking at the world as it is. You try living on the minimum wage for a week (if you can even get a job that pays it). See how you like that life, and then you can complain about the growth of nutrition assistance programs.For the poor in Santa Barbara, the recession never stopped. Id be happy to supply links and charts and peer-reviewed papers to back all this up, if you like. Cotty Chubb Montecito (Editors note: That the annual income in the bottom half of the economy has declined since 2009 is a direct consequence of Obama administration policies that have protected and enhanced the value of stocks, bonds, and real estate and absolutely decimated the incomes of retirees who have depended upon a reasonable say 5%? return on their retirement funds. Try living off 1.5% of your retirement savings income. Nutrition assistance (food stamps) not only help support big profits for agribusiness, such welfare programs also help prop up prices for commodities at the retail level, to the detriment of middle-class and working-class citizens who try very hard to pay their own way. If people are starving as you suggest, then that should be dealt with via welfare. That one out of every seven Americans now supplement their incomes with food stamps is a travesty that makes it all the more difficult for

people who dont want the government to get more involved in their lives to survive and prosper on their own. You really cant be serious to suggest that that everyone on the SNAP program deserves to be on it. Every government giveaway program is a boondoggle. SNAP is no different. We believe Transition House is an admirable institution and that its core mission of transitioning families into selfsustenance is noble, so we have no brief with that. As for minimum wage, this is an old argument. Every time the minimum wage is raised, more teenagers and young adults are put out of work. Nobody lives on a minimum wage-based salary. Its a starter position and the more it costs an employer to hire an inexperienced worker, the less such jobs will be created. Its as simple as that. Just look at the youth unemployment figures in any and every socialist or modern welfare state. Take a gander at black teenage unemployment in this country. One can place the blame squarely on a government-set minimum wage that is out of whack with reality. J.B.)

Robert Eringer and I justreturned from Oslo on another one of our Surreal Bounce journeys anothersearch into creativity and madness. Wed gone to Oslo to investigate and celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth and life of the artist Edvard Munch, the avant-garde artist of the late 19th, early 20th century who created one of the most iconic symbolist masterpieces. Its titled The Scream, and in May 2012,it sold at auction for $119.9 million at Sothebys. After seeing two to three incredible Munch exhibitions;fourof his former homes and neighborhoods;his studio; restaurants where he loafed, laughed, and lingered; and the inside of an insane asylum where he should have beeninterred;wearrived back in Montecitowith a new appreciation for the imagination... and Munch 

Regarding your recent article about power poles in Montecito (Editorial, Bring Down the Poles Bury the Wires, MJ # 19/38), I am sure you were in the presentation done on this subject some years ago. I do not remember who did it. A major problem, as outlined in this presentation, you may recall, is that the underground wires only pass the homes on the street and did not take into account the costs, borne by the homeowner, of connecting from the street to the house. Many homes have long runs and costs to connect seemed prohibitive. And, of course, once wiring is underground, all homes must connect. What is your thinking about this? Robert H. Yamin Montecito (Editors note: It was Montecito resident Ted Stern who led the undergrounding effort in Montecito eight years ago. The first step would be to underground the main arterials: East Valley RoadSycamore Canyon Route 192, along with Hot Springs from the Montecito Roundabout to Mountain Drive, followed closely by the remainder of San Ysidro, Sheffield, Olive Mill, and North Jameson. Close behind are Schoolhouse Road and other roadways with high voltage power. Hookups to individual homes must be part of the plan, but add another dimension to cost. A 30-year plan at $2 million a year would do most of the total job. The challenge is how to find a way to finance a long-term community capital improvement plan through a mixture of funding mechanisms without onerous homeowner assessments. B.H.)

In The Money

Each Thursday, I await the arrival of the Montecito Journal. I find most articles well researched and written. However, I do take exception with a recent Richard Mineards column (Montecito Miscellany, Montecitans in 3 10 October 2013

MONTECITO JOURNAL

The Voice of the Village

the Money, MJ # 19/37). Mr. Mineards appears to be infatuated with people with money. To be wealthy is a wonderful blessing and usually achieved by hard work and excellent decisions. I do not think it is in good taste to publish and flaunt wealth by printing dollar amounts. I am aware that Forbes magazine prints this data, but Montecito residents are a combination of many good and hardworking residents. Not all residents are worth millions and billions of dollars. A community, in order to be successful, is made up of many people, not just the very wealthy. Santa Barbara is a wonderful, fruitful, hardworking city. Montecito is part of that city. It is not an island. Santa Barbara is made up of ranches, small homes, large homes, wealthy people, poor people, public schools, private schools, etc. So, Mr. Mineards, while I enjoy most of your articles, it may serve you better to write about the hardworking citizens in Montecito instead of always focusing on the very rich. True wealth cannot be measured in dollars and cents. Think about it. Lorraine Morey Santa Barbara (Columnists note: I believe the column, which is approaching its sixth anniversary, lives up to its billing of miscellany, covering the arts, culture, charities, and personalities in this unique community. In the past few weeks, as it does annually, Forbes magazine has published its list of the richest people in the country, many of whom reside in our rarefied enclave as well as the richest celebrities and celebrity couples which I would have been remiss in not covering. On the whole, I think the column well balances when it comes to subject matter, not just concentrating on the rich and famous, but all this community has to offer. Richard Mineards)

In addition, his article concisely explains what United Way of Santa Barbara Countys programs and partnerships are, why they are so important to the community, and why they set us apart from other more traditional United Ways not an easy task! The Montecito Journals coverage of the Red Feather Ball ensures increased 3 10 October 2013

We just wanted to thank you for the terrific article in the Journal. Jeremy Harbin did a great job and we really appreciate your support. The Alano Club has been and will continue to be at the center of recovery in the Santa Barbara community. The Club is a 501c3 non-profit organization that has been helping local people with alcohol and other drug problems to resume an alcohol and drug free life since 1963. The Alano Club is home to over 42 meetings a week for 12-step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Al-Anon, and other groups, providing access for 1,000 to 1,200 people a week. This would never be possible without the support of media like the Montecito Journal, the generosity of the Santa Barbara community, Club membership, and organizations like the

Released in India on June 29, Mother of Mayavati is the biography of Charlotte Sevier, one of the foremost Western disciples of Swami Vivekananda. Obeying the desire of their guru, Sevier and her husband left their home in England and devoted their lives to establishing and nurturing the Advaita Ashrama in Mayavati. Seviers husband died shortly after the property was purchased and she lived in this isolated region, four days by horseback from the closest train station, as a British widow among Indian monks, in British India for another 15 years. This ashrama became, and still is, the meeting place of East and West, where monastic and lay residents from India and abroad practice the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, or monism, and propagate these ideas through their character and publications. Many of the monks trained there were later posted in the West to teach Advaita. When: 3 pm Where: Tecolote Book Shop, 1470 E. Valley Road Info: motherofmayavati@gmail.com

You Can Have Beautiful, Permanent Teeth In One Day!
Have your teeth become a neverending struggle? Is the prospect of battling the dental chair for days, months or years too much to bear? Make a life change! Take advantage of the newest technology that transforms your smile all in one day.

n Tuesday, October 1, Glamour House owner Ann Picciuto opened the doors to a popup shop on Coast Village Road. The store, located at 1235 Coast Village, in the former home of Souliers, is a satellite store to the main location, which has been a staple of the Upper Village since 1965. Picciuto has owned the boutique, with her husband Rick Gehrke, for the last decade. Im so happy to be on Coast Village, Ann told us during a recent interview. Its a different feeling down here, and Im looking forward to meeting tourists and spending more time in this part of Montecito, she said. Pop-up shops are retail stores that sign on for short-term leases. Ann plans on keeping the store open through the holidays, but might extend the lease depending on the success of the store. Glamour House

on East Valley Road will continue its operation. Glamour House carries notable and classic high-quality lingerie and loungewear collections such as Celestine, Cosa Bella, Pluto, Hanro, Calida, Oscar De la Renta, Diamond Tea, Natori, Hanky Panky, BedHead, PJ Salvage, Karen Luu, Jacques Levine, Chantelle and Wacoal, among others. These brands are normally found in high-end department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, but Ann says she has formed relationships with most of her vendors, and is able to carry a wide selection. The pop-up store will cater to a more a contemporary crowd, and feature items that tourists will be drawn to, Ann says. The original Glamour House is known for its customer service, help with fitting, and personal

t was all about pink as the Breast Cancer Resource Center (BCRC) presented The Pink Polo Party at Pat and Ursula Nesbitts polo estate in Summerland. There were pink paper umbrellas scattered all around the tables. Many folks dressed in pink and even the polo ponies had pink hooves and dressings. The vedy English Pimms Cup was the specialty drink of the evening. It all began with a VIP tailgate party, sort of. Instead of car trunks being open, we were amidst a phalanx of cars from sponsor Santa Barbara Auto Group BMW represented by CFO Todd Mesnik and General Manager Duane Sanders. Union Bank was a patron sponsor as well. There were drinks and goodies and much chatter. Some of the honorary committee members headed up by Debbie Kass as honorary chair were Jules Allen, Laurel Hansch MD, Hollye Jacobs, Pamela Massey, Eileen Rasmussen, Corinna Gordon, Karla Blackwell, Rose Hodge, Arlene Montesano, Kathy Nicholson, Nancy OConnor, and Rachael Stein.

BCRC executive director Silvana Kelly said, We are lucky to have Carolyn Wyatt and Deann Zampelli as co-chairs and leading our volunteer event committee in planning. She also thanked the silent auction chair Susan St. John for her outstanding selection of unique items. Andrew Firestone led the live auction and paddle raise reminding us that BCRC is a welcome pillar to lean on and a pillow to scream into for those one in eight women diagnosed with breast cancer.

This was their annual new member luncheon held upstairs at the Coral Casino with its gorgeous and endless views of the Pacific. The four new members that president Emily Johnson welcomed were Erika Burrows, Sandy Toye, Emily Dempster, and Sylvia Easton. Each was given a white orchid plant. The special treat was a fashion show, courtesy of Lana Marm from her shop of the same name in the Upper Village. If any of you watched the Miss America televised show, you would have recognized some of the clothes worn by the contestants. Joseph Ribkoff is the official sponsor of Miss America this year and not only dressed all the contestants in their daytime outfits, his clothes will be what Miss America wears for every appearance during her reign.

They have designed for the likes of Bob Mackie, Anne Klein, Valentino, and Ungaro, but for nine years have 

Julianne model Asha Lannin wearing Kaufmanfranco at the trunk show

been their own team. Their spring showing will be September ninth in Lincoln Center. The designs are truly elegant, sophisticated yet simple. I would love to wear them. When I told Michael Id always wanted to go to fashion week in New York, he replied, Ill invite you! Bingo. Perhaps next spring and one less item on my bucket list. Two gorgeous gals, Amanda Fazio and Lauren Reynolds, will be happy to show you around the shop.

All of this is within the premises of Montecito Aesthetic Institute (MAI) which is a medical and non-medical beauty treatment center. Shannon herself is a former international model and actress who has been on the covers of magazines worldwide. As she says, My selection of models is based on elegance, beauty, and integrity. There are a variety of benefits of having a local agency. Many local businesses have to seek talent from Los Angeles. There is then the added cost of travel. This licensed agency should fill the gap. Meanwhile, MAI went from beauty time to party time with guests dressed as requested in cocktail attire (no jeans here). There was plenty of

crew will examine every insurance policy, every trust document, every aspect of their clients lives in terms of financial planning. That is costly and time-consuming in the beginning, he says, but once it is set up and running it becomes a cost-benefit to Manchester. What follows is the gist of our leisurely conversation. Q. You have limitations on who youll take on as a client, correct? A. Yes. The family office clients our core clients have somewhere between twenty-five and fifty million dollars and up to about three or four

hundred million dollars in assets. Is there a minimum amount of money a client needs to become part of your family? There is and there isnt The reality is we are human, and our heartfelt desire is to be helpful where there is great need and there isnt some other service provider that is willing to be helpful to them in the way they need. Well find new homes for them if necessary new places to serve them that might be better. Typically, people with smaller amounts of money have much less complex worlds, where someone

with several hundreds of millions of dollars has complex worlds that have greater need of attention and thats where our broad service skillset comes in. Were having a family meeting here in Montecito in the next couple of months for a family that has a property in New Zealand they would like to have as a legacy property for the family. Its been a lengthy process of arranging trusts to care for the property, creating an endowment so [the property] wont be a burden on the next generation, and then drafting an operating agreement to cover who gets to use the property when. Thats

the sort of thing we get involved in. And the fee for such work? There is no fee whatsoever. Each family has a scale of assets that makes it where were pleased to be able to do that for them. We help a lot, for example, with a family mission statement, to help educate the next generation on what it all means: the values and life experiences the senior generation has had, why it created the wealth, and why the family should try to protect it.

The very nature of recovery poses many burdens on the newly sober, and finance is usually pretty high on the list, leaving little to contribute in early sobriety. The Alano Club fundraising efforts need as much exposure as possible and you have certainly brought a great deal of it to our event An Evening with Michael McDonald and Friends.

Fostering Dialogue

The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is vitally interested in the democratic process in our community, and we hope to serve as a center for fostering dialogue about issues that affect our region.To this end, we sometimes allow political candidates to use the Garden as a venue to communicate to their supporters and constituents. While the Garden does not endorse any specific candidate, we do support

the electoral process and welcome the opportunity to be a non-partisan resource to the community. To the extent we are able, we will continue to offer our site for community events. Our mission is to foster the conservation of Californias native plants and serve as a role model for sustainable practice. We believe that on a limited basis, serving as a venue for dialogue about our communitys future and encouraging leaders to see and visit the Garden furthers this mission. Candidates interested in learning more about the availability of the Garden for upcoming events should contact me at 805-682-4726. Steve Windhager, PhD Executive Director Santa Barbara Botanic Garden (Editors note: We concur and admire your stance. We also urge others with appropriate facilities to make them available whenever possible during the six weeks prior to any election J.B.)

Tie-ups And Tie-downs

A Bridge Too Far

I thought youd like a picture of the Swilcan Bridge at the Old Course at St. Andrews. It was taken just one day before the start of the Dunhill Cup. Ernie Els just played tee ball. It was a breezy day and I thought Id get a shot on the famous bridge, along with my two favorite reading

materials: the Montecito Journal and, of course, my new book, Breakfast Ball (the first Brad Stephens novel). Im out here for a 10-day trip with Harry, Andy, and Garrett Powell from Carpinteria. I gave my copy of the Journal to Ernies caddy; he had never been to Montecito but had heard great things about it. Maybe hell pass it along to Ernie. (I wonder if hes available for the next Birnam Wood guest day?) Joel A. Maloney Montecito (Editors note: Joel is not only an excellent golfer but he is also an excellent writer. His first Brad Stephens novel explains what happened in the most recent financial meltdown better than anybody, anywhere. Breakfast Ball, by the way, is better known by most of us golfers as a mulligan. J.B.)

Anyone who experienced the massive traffic tie-up on the 101 last Wednesday due to a truck losing 30 to 40 gallons of diesel fuel received a preview of what Montecito would experience if Caltrans were to re-build the Sheffield and Cabrillo Boulevard interchanges in accordance with their plans specified in the draft environmental impact report. David Hart Montecito (Editors note: Our offices overlook the often-stalled 101 and we know that once construction begins on the planned improvements and some of the work will indeed be improvements our current traffic problems will seem like a pleasant memory. We back the Montecito Association plan that keeps our left-hand exits operational, along with a new right-hand southbound onramp off Cabrillo. J.B.)

This is a note of thanks to all the people who made last weekends Montecito Car Show such a success for the support of the Special Olympics. It was very apparent that a huge amount of planning had been done beforehand, as it was the best-organized event I have ever been to.Delores, Dana, Orwin, Sara, and all their supporting folks did an amazing job. There are so many people to thank that I hardly know where to begin. For a start, the staggered entry of cars to the event reduced wait times to an absolute minimum. Ive never seen that done before; it is usually a traffic jam. The volunteers directing the placement of the cars were quick and knowledge-

able. This was sincerely appreciated, as some of the cars are prone to overheating at a moments notice. Another incredibly nice touch was the provision of young folks with bags of cold bottles of water for the participants and guests and in addition, the availability of recycling containers for the empties. Another group to be thanked are all the merchants on Coast Village Road who put up with the disruption of their normal business activities.That includes not only those at the car show site but the whole neighborhood, as the parking for spectators affected everyone in the area. It was also a special treat to meet and talk to the Special Olympians and the wonderful people who devote their time and energy to organizing and supporting those events. One hopes that this and hopefully future events will allow them to continue and expand their inspiring and necessary work. Other special thanks should go to Seth Hammond and his team of Brian Geary and Monte Rook for the fabulous trophies that they designed and fabricated.They are truly works of art and worthy of display in the living room of any home.They will be a very tough act to follow next year.Along with the trophies are the trophy sponsors and all the other sponsors of the many event functions.Your support is what makes events like this possible. The media should also be recognized as they did an excellent job of spreading the word about the event and encouraging people to come and enjoy it. What really makes a show like this successful are the spectators.This weekend we had the best.They were fun to talk to, knowledgeable, curious, respectful of the cars, and, best of all, a lot of them brought their children so that the younger generation could see what the car hobby is all about. Finally, I would like to thank all the car guys and gals who brought their treasures from near and far to be shared with all of us.What a wonderful and eclectic display of automotive art. There was certainly something there for everyones taste in automotive style and history. We cant wait for next year.

Lets address protecting wealth. What do you see for the U.S. economy and the investing climate over the next decade? I wish I had a crystal ball and had a precise answer, because there isnt one. Clearly, within the next few years, the market will take control of interest rates. Domestically, the Fed will back off from its purchases in the thirty-year securities, and also at some point release the fed funds rate and allow that to rise. And then, the hope on the part of the administration is that there will be enough growth generated by the stimulus that the growth will carry the economy forward and will enable it to absorb the impact of not having stimulus. Our working hypothesis is that there will be slow modest growth going forward for the next decade or so. Im optimistic that there will be money made in every market and were looking forward to taking advantage of it as we go forward, but it is not going to be anything like weve seen in the nineties. We also see it as unlikely that the country will fall into a serious recession again [in the near term]. Does politics play into any of your companys calculations? Certainly, a change in the politics of Washington would be beneficial to the advancement of the markets; the current policy and stagnation is problematic. Not only from the design of regulations and the lack of clarity of how theyre going to be implemented.

COMING & GOING (Continued from page 18)

getting a negative rate of return because the income is so low compared to the rate of inflation. Youre putting your money in a place where you are guaranteed to lose. It is the antithesis of investing. And your investment strategy is? We use some component of almost every asset class that is available. We go far afield to do so. Far afield? Okay, lets say you have a

of the world where there are growth opportunities and where we want to participate. I like the idea of a frontier market; Ive never heard the term. Is there something in Africa going on that gives you some confidence that something good will emerge? I havent personally visited there I rely on others in the company to do so but I think Africa is a different place today than it was five years ago

Our business model is terrible: everything is customized; everything is custom fit; everything is personally done. Its not the best way to make the most money.

a percent in an investment is kind of meaningless; if it doubles that means you have a one percent gain in your portfolio. As a general rule, we never put more than ten percent of a portfolio with any one manager or strategy because of the risk exposure. We also usually have liquidity limits where we hate to see portfolios that have significant illiquid positions: thirty or forty percent illiquid positions where they cant get access to the money if needed. When trauma hits the markets and you need operating capital or you want to have capital to take advantage of downturns and circumstances that present opportunity, you want to have liquidity to move money. I read The End Is Near (and its going to be awesome) by Kevin Williamson and in the back of the book, or at least the last chapter or two he discusses India as an emerging market. He writes that over the course of a century or least the last half-century, the same type of people have been there: they were industrious, they were entrepreneurial, they were all that and yet the country languished. Then, all of a sudden, it takes off. He gives credit for that to a non-governmental arbitration business that small businesses and countries sign on to, agreeing to arbi-

So, an election will help? Well, theres a lack of clarity in the interpretation of the regulations in both ObamaCare and Dodd-Frank in almost every area, and what the EPA is up to; on a whole series of fronts its hard to understand because the devil is in the details and it is hard to understand exactly what the impacts will be. In addition, theres quite a bit of uncertainty as to how long those regulations will last, and if theres a change in administration or change in the mood of Congress, how these things will all come to pass. I think that level of uncertainty makes it harder and harder for people to simply put money to work and understand what to do. J.P. Morgan did a quick informal survey recently and found that twenty-five percent of the respondents said their favorite asset was cash. It wasnt stocks, wasnt bonds, wasnt gold; it was cash. Which demonstrates fear, concern, uncertainty, and not knowing what to do. Explain why cash may not be the wisest course of action for most people. Because cash is a money losing instrument at the moment. You are 3 10 October 2013

client who is interested in investing in some Ukrainian manufacturing plants, how would you go about that? We would go to the Ukraine which we do and we would meet the manager in charge of making decisions of how much money to put in what part of Ukraine. And, we have done that. We would have a reference of some kind before we went there and we would regularly visit that person or that team to make sure they were returning the numbers we thought they should and that the process was going well. Our entire due diligence process is pretty involved. A team from Manchester will go and look at all the aspects of a manager s capabilities, from professional skill sets to experience, tenure, business practices, philosophy, and the strategy theyre using, their ability to execute that strategy, whether the strategy works at this particular part of the economic cycle. There are [a great number] of factors you look at. The essence of it is that we would never rely on an outside party to tell us what to do. As a general practice, we would never put money with any manager or endeavor that we hadnt fully researched personally. But we have invested in areas that are as diverse as Brazilian agriculture and U.S. stocks, small and large We are currently investing in some African securities through managers. Could Africa be called an emerging market? Africa is what is called a Frontier market. A lot of emerging markets places like Vietnam, Indonesia, even the old BRICs, Brazil, Russia, India, China are fairly well developed countries now. The next tier down are places in Africa and other rural parts

or certainly twenty-five years ago. Things are changing. There are still sore spots and problems but at the same time What percentage of your funds would go towards something as speculative as African development? We generally dont make investments of less than about three percent of a persons portfolio, because a half

trate contract disputes and live with the results of those. From the time they signed on to that, thats when India was able to break free. Do you agree with his premise? Im not familiar with that specifically, but it does make a lot of sense that having some regulatory method that allows disputes to be settled really does work. Its a necessary component of a successful free market. India has had a lot of good things going for it for a long time. But, currently it has slowed down to a degree that people are surprised at. At the moment, it is struggling and there is such terrific poverty there. They are making progress but its a tall mountain to climb. You do need a court system and you do need rules set that people can rely on to settle disputes. Youve got to have the ability to make agreements and have those agreements stick. Other than India and Africa, are there other opportunities out there that look promising? Mexico looks to become the next China as it begins to resolve many of those same issues. At the moment, though, it continues to be plagued by this non-transparency issue. We understand you travel a lot for Manchester Capital business. I go back and forth to our offices in Manchester. I also have an office in New York City and an office in Virginia and visit one or the other on a regular basis. But, most of my travel is to see families and to actually be in their space. Its funny; you realize a lot of firms would have the family come to the office or just do it through correspondence. But, when you go to a familys residence or place of business you learn so much of who they are and what they really are, what they want to accomplish, what their passions are, and what their interests are that you can so much better serve them that its worth our time and energy. As a firm, our practice is to go to the tip of Cape Cod or to someplace in the distant part of Seattle to be

with a client. We usually stay with them and they really appreciate our visit. But, if you stay at a hotel, its on your dime? Of course. Our only source of revenue comes from a fee on assets. We total up those assets four times a year and we collect a fee at the end of every quarter. There is no economic benefit whatever accrued to any wealth manager either for offering a service or not having a service, or even how well we do.

grow at a measured pace. The portfolios are growing at seven, eight, ten percent, but the company itself is growing at a twenty-five percent rate. We are really cautious about coming to a point in time when were going to shut the doors and thats somewhere between seven and eight billion dollars. Why shut off the money flow? The company would change materially in its culture and values, its emphasis on people, and care for clients and families in ways when it

eight percent. Outside of that they were up every year. And, in some years theyve had really terrific performance. Typically they return high single-digit performance on a consistent basis. The problem, of course, like all great money managers, is that they dont want money. What do you mean? At the moment [the fund] is closed. You can subscribe, put your name down, and they might take money in the future, but they wont take any money right now. There is another great money manager who handles a concentrated portfolio in south Asia. Its thirty stocks in places like Indonesia, Korea, and so forth. For that money manager, we get on our hands and knees to give him fifteen million dollars and hell only take six. As his fund grows, he actually reduces his fees every year. Has he been sainted yet? No, he hasnt. Hes got a lot of his own money at work. He cares deeply about the success of his own money, and hes got this enormous pride. He doesnt need more money and he just has these dynamite performances and hes doing really well. Wed do anything to give him a lot more money, but he just wont take it. What do you believe is a chief attribute of a successful money manager? You cant be too certain of your own view of whats going to happen next, but you do need to have a simultaneous deep-seeded optimism about the future of the world and at the same time have the flexibility to react tactically when things go differently. With that statement, youve summed up an investment philosophy that would work with every saver, every politician, every sentient human, so we thank you for your clarity. Well, I thank you. And thanks for breakfast. Manchester Capital Management (805-969-5670) is located at 1157 Coast Village Road  MJ

Do you have a view on investing in any of the metals? I certainly hear the arguments for gold, but we do not recommend across the board either gold or silver. Not even a percentage. But we have gold positions for some of our clients, particularly those with European backgrounds who came from countries where currencies have actually collapsed, so they are more inclined to feel more comfortable. A certain aspect of a portfolio design is the comfort that it gives. Theres a technology to designing the perfect portfolio, but that might not emotionally fit a client in a way that something else would. Its important to find a balance point there to make sure that it emotionally fits the client so that they will stick to the plan. Have you developed any drop-in clients from opening an office in Montecito? Not specifically. Most of our clients come from referrals. We dont have an active sales process at all. Weve never had.

Montecito Union Schools Green Team guru Heidi Winston is helping to make Beautification Day a green event

Feinberg, who is also PTA president at Montecito Union School, says she hopes to take Beautification in a new direction, starting with this years theme: Sustain and Maintain, which focuses on recycling. Typically at Beautification, we create as much trash as we collect! Feinberg said. Committee member and MUS Green Team chair Heidi Winston is helping solve the dilemma, by helping Feinberg make the event environmentally friendly. Winston is credited with making the annual MUS Carnival a green event; this year only one can of garbage was produced from the fair, while all other waste was recycled or composted. This year, Beautification Day will feature compostable plates and utensils, along with waste sorting demonstrations and education about recycling and composting. We want to take the day to a new level, and make recycling part of the culture of Beautification, Feinberg says. Last week, the committee announced that one of their own, Jean von Wittenburg, has been chosen as founDation rEPairs

Citizen of the Year. Jean is so modest and soft-spoken many people are not aware of her significant contributions to our community, an anonymous nominator says of Jean. An MA board member, Jean has been involved with helping neighbors find resolutions for disputes, helped develop emergency resource contact information, and has acted as a liaison between Casa Dorinda and the Association. She is also a docent at Casa del Herrero, and has served on the board of the Braille Institute. In addition, Jean has been on the Beautification Committee for several years. Upon arrival at the Village Green the first Saturday of November (rain or shine), volunteers will be treated to a continental breakfast provided by Montecito Country Club, after which they will pick up their t-shirts and trash collector kits and head out to clean various areas of Montecito. Pickup routes include streets, trails, roads, onramps, cul-de-sacs, byways, bridges, and beaches. At 11 am, volunteers will reconvene for the awards presentation; Montecito homeowners will be honored with awards in sustainable landscape, charming cottage, entryway or architectural feature, and remodel. Nominations are still being accepted for awards. Call the Association (9692026) for more information. Montecito Firefighters will be on hand serving their Five Alarm Chili, hot dogs, salad, and homemade chocolate chip cookies, made by the Beautification Committee. Bluegrass band Glendessary Jam will be back to provide the musical entertainment. During and after lunch, informational tables hosted by local organizations will be set up for guests to peruse. Participating groups include Lotusland, Casa de Maria, Montecito YMCA, Montecito Firemans Association, Wildlife Care Network, Laguna Blanca, Crane Country Day School, Cold Spring School, MUS, Westmont, MERRAG, Montecito Fire Protection District, Water and Sanitation, Montecito Association, Montecito Trails, MAW, Friendship Center, El Montecito Early School, and others. This year, rather than an art contest, local school kids have been tasked with creating art with recycled materials. The art sculptures will be on display at Beautification. Sponsorship opportunities are still available. Sponsors will have their name or business name listed on the Beautification Day t-shirts. Call the Montecito Association office at 969-2026 for more information. Beautification Day begins at 9 am on November 2, in the Upper Village Green, 1470 East Valley Road.

Four Seasons Food Truck

This week, the much-anticipated Four Seasons Food Truck made its way to Santa Barbara, with a kick off in Montecito on Monday, September 30. With eight destinations, three states, and more than 1,000 miles to cover, the truck, known as the FS Taste Truck, is off and running after feeding dozens of foodies at the Coral Casino. The truck tour provides a new, mobile stage for our culinary talent to connect with their local communities, says Gena Downey, rep for the Four Seasons The Biltmore. Food is a passion for us at Four Seasons and we are always seeking to share that in inspiring and exciting ways, whether its through a Michelin-star dining experience or the perfect beer and burger pairing at one of our gastropubs, says Guy Rigby, Vice President of Food & Beverage in the Americas. We want to keep our chefs engaged in something that is very relevant and the food truck movement fits the bill. Its fun, unexpected and will foster the notion that Four Seasons does things differently. The truck will be manned by our local Four Seasons through this week, with stops at Deckers headquarters on October 1, downtowns 1st Thursday on October 3, on Anacapa Street near the Santa Barbara Farmers Market followed by Oreana Winery in the Funk Zone on October 5 and East Beach on October 6. The custom-created menu consists of street food style Cal-Italian fare including paninis and wraps, BBQ short ribs with smoked mozzarella and arugula, sweet potato fries, seasonal salads, desserts such as chamomile panna cotta and more. On October 4, the truck will be at Telegraph Brewing Company serving up a special Octoberfest menu to complement beers on tap including Telegraphs 1927 Ale brewed exclusively for Four Seasons The Biltmore. The FS Taste Truck will be rolling into various cities throughout the fall, including Palo Alto, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Westlake Village, Scottsdale, AZ, and Santa Fe, NM. The FS Taste Truck tour also benefits a good cause. Following its comple

The street fare includes sandwiches, wraps, panini, salads, finger foods, and desserts (photo by Lily Buckley)

tion, a portion of the total proceeds of the tour will be donated to Chefs to End Hunger, a charity that works with hotels, restaurants, and food service operations across the country to redistribute excess prepared food to those in need. For more information, visit taste. fourseasons.com.

Local Healthcare Specialists Restore Sight in Vietnam
by Ann Pieramici

Dr. Ho ofTrung Vuong Emergency Hospitalin Ho Chi Minh City observes as Dr. Pieramici examines a patient

(From left) Dr. Ho, Dr. Dante Pieramici, and Melvin Rabena, outside the hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, where the American team traveled this past summer to train local doctors and perform sight-saving surgery

en minutes. Thats how long a procedure to help eliminate blindness in patients with severe diabetic retinopathy can take. But for many in Vietnam who have limited access to sophisticated healthcare, that kind of treatment is not something theyre accustomed to receiving. Thats why, in late August, many traveled hundreds of miles over unpaved roads and waited in extreme heat to meet highly trained specialists from Santa Barbara, who offered hope of saving their vision. The medical team of Dr. Dante Pieramici, a vitreoretinal specialist, and Melvin Rabena, director of research for the California Retina Research Foundation (CRRF), traveled thousands of miles from their central coast practice to Ho Chi Minh City. The expedition was sponsored by Santa Barbara-based SEE International (Surgical Eye Expeditions), the CRRF, and the research and education division of California Retina Consultants, where Pieramici practices. The purpose of the trip was to restore sight, educate local doctors, and help establish a sustainable diabetic retinopathy clinic. Nobody should go blind from diabetic retinopathy if they control their diabetes and receive appropriate eye care, stressed Dr. Pieramici, who specializes in this and other retinarelated diseases. He has completed three other similar expeditions across the globe. He says he is motivated to help people prevent a lifetime of blindness. The main goal of these retina programs, Pieramici adds, is to teach and equip the local doctors so they can carry on the treatments when we leave. The promise of sight-saving surgery is also what motivated a roomful of patients. One among the many who waited all day to be examined was a 26-year-old male who traveled by 3 10 October 2013

bus for over ten hours, hoping that Pieramici could repair a macular hole from a motorcycle accident sustained four years ago. Another patient was a 63-year-old female with a long history of diabetes. Her vision-threatening eye disease, without treatment, would eventually lead to blindness. Following a ten-minute laser eye surgery, it is now very unlikely that severe vision loss is in her future. To Train and Sustain Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes mellitus that leads to damage of the tiny blood vessels in the retina. These vessels sometimes swell, leak fluid, or even close off completely, while in other cases, abnormal blood vessels can grow on the surface of the retina. The disease is particularly prevalent in developing countries where there is limited access to proper treatment and insufficient management of diabetes. If not controlled, diabetic retinopathy can result in bilateral blindness. Treatment might be necessary long before visual symptoms are present. In the U.S., this type of treatment has had a profound effect on rates of blindness. Prior to the availability of laser treatment, most patients with severe retinopathy would eventually go blind. Now that risk is less than five percent. However, the treatment needs to be delivered on a timely basis. Our hope is not to simply treat patients once or twice a year, stated Melvin Rabena, who accompanied Pieramici on a similar mission to Honduras two years ago, but to train local doctors and their staff so that early diagnosis is possible and proper treatment can be sustained long after we leave the country. Rabena explained that doctors in many underdeveloped countries traditionally focus on cataract surgery

and lack the training and expensive equipment needed to treat more complicated retina-related diseases like diabetic retinopathy. The Iridex Corporation donated a $45,000 laser as an in-kind contribution through SEE International. The medical team transported it to Ho Chi Minh City, Dr. Ho, a general ophthalmologist in Ho Chi Minh City, was grateful to have the opportunity to observe Pieramici and Rabena during their three days at Trung Vuong Emergency Hospital. Through patient examinations and lectures, the American team shared valuable training with Dr. Ho and his colleagues. Pieramici and Rabena say the long-term goal of their partnership with SEE International is to raise funds to establish ongoing telemedicine programs to continue aiding doctors here and in other underdeveloped countries. Pieramici

said he is also interested in bringing capable doctors to his office in Santa Barbara for further in-depth training with California Retina Consultants. While the team and SEE International are interested in setting up retina clinics in other parts of the world, Pieramici is quick to point out that SEE International and California Retina Consultants also help patients close to home. California Retina Consultants is a specialized retina practice with eight highly skilled physicians treating patients at ten central coast offices in Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Santa Maria, Bakersfield, Valencia, Lancaster, Visalia, and San Luis Obispo. The practice specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to the retina, vitreous, and macula. For more information, visit www. seeintl.org and www.californiaretina. com.  MJ

quines from A to Z can be found in the Santa Ynez Valley literally from Arabians to zebras. But seldom does one have the opportunity to enter the gates of the private farms that are home to the fiftyfive different breeds that are bred, raised, and trained in this hotbed of horse activity. For the second year in a row, the Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum joined forces with the Santa Ynez Valley Equestrian Center on the third Saturday in September for a unique fundraiser, giving the public access to some of those hidden properties on a special tour. Working together were Pat Murphy on behalf of the Equestrian Center and Chris Bashforth, Executive Director of the Historical Museum. Their organizing committee members Claudia Jayne, Melissa Moore, Alice Olla, and Linda Saarloos rounded up several sponsors who provided financial support, and many friends who served as parking attendants, greeters, and docents at each of the four stops. In addition to the horses, each loca-

Rare Breeds a Highlight of Horse Farm Tour

Artist Suzan Todd created the artwork used on the program for the Santa Ynez Valley horse farm tour, and spent the day signing her prints in the elegant barn at the Crist Ranch

tion featured artists showing their equine-inspired artwork. The 160 people who attended were provided with maps for the self-drive tour and programs with pertinent information about each location. Because the attendees were divided into groups that had different starting points, there was never a sense of overcrowding. Everyone was invited back to the SYV Historical Museum as the fifth stop to enjoy a wine and appetizer reception. Richard and Nan Walden generously opened their Rancho Soado, where guests were seated in the green lawn area to watch a presentation of champion Arabian horses that compete in a variety of disciplines ranging from trail classes to English pleasure. At the Santa Ynez Valley Equestrian Center, guests were treated to a demonstration of antique carriage driv-

ing, put on by Art Lacerte and other drivers from the Santa Ynez Valley Carriage Club. The most unusual horses were found at the other two farms featured on the tour. Tim and Barb Crist, whose barn surely rates as one of the most elegant in the Valley, allowed Gary Douglas to bring three of his white Costarricense de Paso stallions to be shown in their sunken arena. Gary Douglas was smitten with these elegant gaited horses when he visited Costa Rica, where they were developed by crossing Andalusian horses with Peruvian Pasos. He decided to import the first Costarricense de Pasos ever to enter the United States, and starting a breeding program here to promote these magnificent-looking horses. Today, there are still only about two dozen of them in America, but their sweet temperament combined with flashy looks and action are sure to make them grow in popularity. When guests werent ooh-ing and aah-ing at the white Costarricense stallions (which also come in other colors), they were marveling at the

Top of the G The sky was the limit when the Granada Theatre celebrated its 90th anniversary when former Raytheon chairman Dan Burnham and his wife, Meg, opened the doors of their State Street penthouse aerie above the theaterfor 150 supporters of the Santa Barbara Center for the Performing Arts. Afterwards guests at the Top of the G went into the performance hall to see a demonstration of the new rear screen digital cinema, financed by Roger and Sarah Chrisman, and featuring crystal clear clips from Lawrence of Arabia, West Side Story, Moulin Rouge and Seabiscuit, starring Montecitos Jeff Bridges. It really is a state of the art system, which is four times the resolution you normally see in a theater, says Craig Springer, executive director of the Granada, which had 100,000 audience members last year.

Crists barn, which was designed by Barb. She spent hours poring over books of stable designs throughout the world, and culled favorite aspects of each for her builders to incorporate. The English-style stalls, wide center aisle hung with crystal chandeliers, rubber floor pavers to prevent the horses from slipping, kitchen (doesnt every barn need one?), and pictureperfect tack room had everyone in awe. Although the wood paneling used throughout (even in the stalls!) had the rich look of mahogany, its actually another tropical hardwood called balau, from Southeast Asia. With colorful flags flying at Cielo Celeste Farm, owner Celeste Cici Huston narrated while her grooms trotted out examples of various breeds, two of them Gypsy stallions. Cici Huston was the fifth wife of legendary director John Huston (1906-1987), and first encountered Gypsy horses when living with him in Ireland.

The McTavish clan: Ian, Andy, and Jolie, with sculptures by Tim Cotterill, Willie Jump, and Catlina

oming from a family history of artisans in casting and foundry work, Ian McTavish has finally realized his 20-year dream of opening a full service art foundry in our town. The Santa Barbara Art Foundrys grand opening will take place Saturday, October 5 from 10 am to 5 pm, located at 120 Santa Barbara Street, in the Funk Zone. The opening will include guided foundry tours where guests can see each phase of the creation of bronze sculptures using the lost wax method. This

manufacturing method can be traced back 4,000 years to ancient civilizations of Greece, Rome, South America, and Asia. Tours will be given by Ian, his wife Jolie, their son Andy (who is General Manager of the gallery), and his wife, artist Alexandria Moricca. Guests can mingle in the dedicated gallery of paintings and sculptures for sale with a glass of wine, courtesy of Fox Wine Company, headed by award-winning winemaker Blair Fox and his wife, Sarah. Jolie says, Visitors will be able to see the process first hand and learn more about the numerous steps involved in the ancient lost wax method. They will be able to watch skilled artisans at work, touch the sample sculpture at each stage of production, and see the finished sculpture available for purchase in the adjacent sales gallery. Guests are sure to come away with a deeper appreciation for the art and how much time and talent go into the creation of every piece. Invited to preview the foundry and

talk with the McTavish family was a true art-lovers experience, as I saw first-hand patina and gold leaf work being done on Erts Asian Princess Sculpture, and works by Chinese artist Ting Shao Kuang and UK artist Tim Cotterill, aka the Frogman. Here are some highlights from the interview: Q. Ian, how did you acquire the original Ert (artist Roman Petrovich Tyrtov) molds? Ian: In 2010 I was contacted by the Martin Lawrence Gallery to redo the molds they had in their possession. To date we have twenty molds that took about a year to redo to their detailed original state. We worked off the original Ert molds, sketches,

Ian McTavish in the bronze molding room at the Santa Barbara Art Foundry

And Tim Cotterill? Ian: In 1990 local artist Tim Cotterill came to us to do his molds. At the time our business was all about investment casting, aerospace work, oil field parts, and highly technical to the detail work. We decided to do a few of Tims molds, and the more we did, the more we liked it. Tim decided to sell the business of his work to us as he just wanted to concentrate on his art. It was fairly scary for us; the interest payments on his business were more than I earned in a year! But we stuck with it and grew his art business seven times in profits from when we took it over. He went from a street artist to a worldwide gallery artist. How many artists are currently on board with you? Ian: Over one hundred internationally. The things that set your foundry apart from competitors lie in your family history, tell us about that. Ian: My father James was born in Scotland and started in the field of metalworking in the 1950s, where he produced the copper tanks for the distillation of Scots whisky.The family emigrated from Scotland to Canada and then to Santa Barbara in 1967 where I graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1973. Four years later, my dad started the family foundry business at Image Casting located in Oxnard. That company was casting industrial widgets, which have to be precise in every detail. This preciseness and hands-on craftsmanship are what we bring to each piece of work we do, an estimated one hundred man-hours per piece. So we have quality consistently... we dont make any seconds. And the development of colored patinas? Ian: A few years back, our patina artist, John Cotsis, came to me and said, why not do more colors than the usual green and brown patinas? Admittedly at first I was reluctant, but John pushed me and now we have a specialized technique in applying colors. 3 10 October 2013

What do you want people to experience when coming to your foundry? Jolie: I dont want people to be intimidated by art, so we are opening up a foundry where the public, not just our clients, can come in and watch the process and by doing so, appreciate the inner makings of a work of art. People coming by can talk with our son Andy, who grew up with art all around him, and he will be managing the gallery with his new wife, Alexandria, who is also an artist. Everyone is welcome here.

On Entertainment
Defying Gravity at Center Stage
by Steven Libowitz

oogle Defying Gravity and youll find lots of references to the song from the Broadway smash Wicked, a bunch pointing to the 2009 TV series, and even a couple that lead to an obscure movie. But youll have to search a little harder to find links to the 1998 play of the same name. But that didnt deter Drama Dogs co-founder E. Bonnie Lewis from pursuing the one-act fantasy by Jane Anderson as the companys next piece to explore with their body-centered approach to theater. The freely-structured look at the 1986 Challenger disaster jumps around in time, and juggles the lives of both participants and bystanders, somehow drawing parallels among painter Claude Monets artistic quest and the first civilian astronauts zest, juxtaposed against her grieving daughters pain, the point of view of an elderly tourist couple who witness the disaster, plus the guilt felt by a NASA mechanic and his girlfriends fear of heights. As with all Drama Dogs productions, the audience is invited to remain for talk backs with the artists to share the experience and demystify their creative process through examination of creative choices and character development. Lewis who with husband/cofounder Ken Gilbert, and actors Michelle Osborne and Erica Connell form the core of Drama Dogs (all of whom have roles in Defying Gravity) directs the three-performance run at Center Stage this weekend. She talked about the play over the telephone earlier this week. Q. Why this play now? A. Mostly because I love the poetry. It pays homage to the artist as teacher and seeker. It takes a national tragedy and turns it into art and poetry and to heal that wound. The Challenger explosion was one of those events where you never forget where you were when it happened. As a female and a teacher myself, I was viscerally affected by that event, and when I read the play I was so deeply moved. The person who brought it to me years ago said they could see me playing the teacher. But Im not; Im directing. Its been a pleasure not to have to memorize lines. How does it fit with Drama Dogs mission? Were about body-centered work. We create characters by entering

Steven Libowitz has reported on the arts and entertainment for more than 30 years; he has contributed to Montecito Journal for over ten years.

Id like the audience to feel hopeful, inspired, connected with their own humanity and uplifted. Defying Gravity plays Friday and Saturday, October 4 and 5, at 8pm, and Sunday, October 6, at 2pm at Center Stage Theater.

through the body first, rather than the psychological model of figuring it out by how and why. No matter what the play, we think about how characters move, how they hold themselves, what their energy is like... This play isnt written in linear time. We keep going in and out of time. Theres a mystical component that fits in very well with what we do. Whats been the biggest challenge in bringing it to the stage? Aside from replacing two of the actors part way through the production because of personal reasons (after a staged reading at the Plaza Playhouse in July), its also daunting to make sense of it so the audience can follow what is going on. And also how to keep the magic, and not descend into the gravity of it to find the lightness. We have to find it too as the actors. As a director, every actor is in [his or her body] in different ways; they relate and express differently and you have to meet them where they are, lift them up so they can do their work, and create a uniform piece. There are all these different things that happen at the same time. Im choosing to stage it in such a way that all the characters are on the stage at the same time rather than having the usual thing of scene/change, scene/ change. To focus attention, well light them differently, one group more well lit than the others, because all this life is going on while something else is happening. Its parallel lives, because the play is written in that way. Were time traveling anyway. And theres this parallel between Monet, who had a huge impact on how we view art; he changed our perspective, and thats what the play is about. And Eric Valinsky is playing music he created live on stage. Hes created sounds that support the scenes specifically, drawing from Impressionist composers for scenes with Monet, always enhancing whats going on in the play. It takes the piece to another whole level. So youre hoping audiences come away with a different view of the disaster, or is there some other takeaway?

Episode three in Lucidity Festivals six-year saga doesnt arrive at Live Oak Camp until April, but the organizers have come up with a one-night event smack in the middle of the off-season to satisfy the community cravings and whet your appetite for the next fest. Called Rising Vibes for the Universe, the mini-fest takes place Friday, October 4, from 3pm-1am inside the Arlington Theatre and outside on the plaza, breezeway and parking lot, with each distinct area mirroring some of the encampments at the larger weekend festival, including the healing sanctuary, warriors way, tricksters playground, lovers nest and nomads nook. Events include art projects, live painting, healing services, food and craft booths, film screenings, lots of music and theatrical performances, and even speakers talking about the growing transformational culture. Among the performers are VibeSquaD Live (LiveSquad), The Human Experience w/ Rising Appalachia, and Govinda. We wanted to take a piece of Lucidity to downtown State Street to make it more accessible for everyone, explained Jonah Haas, one of the festivals co-founders. Its about bringing the village vibe from the festival to the outside arcade, alleyways and grounds (at the venerable downtown theater). Not everybody is into going to a three-day camping experience in the mountains. A theater event on State Street is a way to offer our message to a larger audience here in town. That message is partially about getting involved, not just passively attending an event, and even though a good part of Rising Vibes takes place indoors, Haas said there are plenty of opportunities for self-expression. This isnt a typical concert at a theater, he said. You dont have to sit in your seats all the time. Were encouraging wheeling about and experiencing all the different environments all around the theater. But there will be unusual offerings inside as well. William and The Earth Harp will create a giant harp inside the theater, stretching strings from the rafters to the stage and then plucking his creation between acts. Lucent Dossier, 

a Cirque du Soleil-style troupe that has appeared on the Emmy Awards and is familiar to festivalgoers as individual roving characters, will put on a full production in its Santa Barbara debut. And electronica fans will have lots to choose from too. Meanwhile, the activities continue outside till after midnight, too, where individuality is encouraged, Haas said. The intention is of presence and participation, tuning into your own personal internal heartsong, he said. The idea is to wake up more fully to who you really are. Thats what were trying to create being present in the moment of now. Tickets to Luciditys Rising Vibes for the Universe cost $35, although the outdoor activities are free. Visit www.thearlingtontheatre.com for tickets and more information.

Growing Up With Michael

Michael Apted was just a researcher back in 1964 when he worked on a one-off TV show called Seven Up that examined the class and educational systems in England via 14 seven-year-old children chosen for their backgrounds, and premised on the Jesuit motto Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man. But seven years later, he reinterviewed the same children for a follow-up documentary, and the Up series was born. Despite having forged a remarkably successful career as a feature film director whose credits include Coal Miners Daughter (1980), Gorky Park (1983), Gorillas in the Mist (1988), the James Bond movie The World Is Not Enough (1999), The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010) and Chasing Mavericks (2012), Apted returns to the Up project every seven years, most recently in 2012 for 56 Up, to chronicle their progress and check in with their lives. The films rise above mere documentary to serve, as the Los Angeles Times said, as a matchless portrait of our time, using film to bore deep into the fabric of society and probe these particular subjects as representatives of our lives. Apted who served as SBIFFs first director in residence several years ago when he was president of the Directors Guild of America is returning to town to discuss the project following a screening of 56 Up at Campbell Hall in a free event on Monday night, October 7, sponsored by UCSB Arts & Lectures. Q. Did you ever expect the series to last this long and become a phenomenon?

From Los Alamos National Laboratory, Wiens directs all activities associated with the instrument. About 10 years ago, he and another co-worker started the project, which NASA agreed to have them develop. The primary objectives of ChemCam are to rapidly analyze rocks and soil to determine their compositions and to identify samples that would be of greatest interest to scientists for analysis by other instruments on board Curiosity. Coordinating the work of the various team members is a large part of my job, but of course I also like to work with the data myself, he says. I like to hang out with my family, my wife and two teenage boys. I also love music, so I play keyboard in a band at my church, which is a good diversion from the instrument work.

In several of my classes over the years, I have shared an article he wrote on radiometric dating from a Christian perspective.

EVENTS
by Steven Libowitz

Thursday, October 3 1st Thursday The first 1st Thursday of fall brings a plethora of art openings, including an artist reception for POP: Politics of Place! at the Jane Deering Gallery. The show brings together a selection of works drawn from the Art Design & Architecture Museum of UCSB and including artists Kim Abeles, LA Fine Arts Squad, Liam Jones, Isabella Kirkland, Barrie Mottishaw, Enoc Perez, and Fran Siegel that demonstrate the politically charged nature of real and imagined sites. A new exhibition by acclaimed painter Hank Pitcher, unveiling some of the artists largest and most monumental works to date, is up at Sullivan Goss, which also opens a show of contemporary metal sculpture by Nicholas Coroneos, Alan Linder, and Evan Lewis. At Casa Magazine, Feasting with Gabriela is an exhibition of work by local artists inspired by the poetry of Nobel Laureate Gabriela Mistral, who lived for a brief time in Santa Barbara and received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1945; view the art and read excerpts from the poetry wall, and also enjoy live music, wine, and refreshments. California artist Jenny Kompolt will be on hand at Plum Goods, which will exhibit several pieces of her work transforming common objects into something unique and beautiful, which began as healing work and has since grown into a line of wall art, lighting, and furniture all made from antique, vintage, found, and recycled objects. At the Architectural

Foundation of Santa Barbara, enjoy a new exhibition of oil paintings by Thomas Van Stein and Wyllis Heaton featuring vibrant urban scenes and architectural subjects located primarily in California. Gordon Huether, Silvia Poloto, and Ashleigh Sumner who all work within the vein of a recently developed artistic trend that involves combining drawing, painting, collage, and photography onto hard surfaces and sealing the materials under a coat of resin make up Artamo Gallerys new show, New Collage. On the performing arts front, the Museum of Contemporary Art (formerly CAF) presents the Now Hear Ensemble, a Santa Barbara-based quintet that recently performed at REDCAT, who will offer new work by artistic director and double bass player Federico Llach, alongside music by Tom Johnson, the great 21st century minimalist composer, and Clarence Barlow, music professor at UCSB. Through instrumental sound and video projections by artist Gabriela Goldberg, the quintet celebrates music that explores the beauty and precision of sequenced, algorithmic, and generative mathematics. In the other usual 1st Thursday haunts, Carl & the Coconuts featuring the Hawaiian ukulele player/ singer who also teaches at SBCC Adult Ed takes over Marshalls Patio, while singerguitarist-composer David Courtenay, who recently returned to his native Santa Barbara after forays in Los Angeles and Chicago, hunkers down at the corner of Anapamu and State, and SB-based Latin Jazz band Mezcal Martini plays at Paseo Nuevos Center

Friday, October 4
Greener Goleta Folk-crooner Melissa Greener lives in Nashville now, but her upbringing as the daughter of a classically trained soprano who sang in the lounge of the Playboy Club veered from Detroit to Austin, so there are natural elements of both Motown groove and Texas singer-songwriter in her sound. On her own, she trekked mountain ranges in the Alps, Slovakia, and Tibet, pedaled a bicycle solo across Canada, and lived in a rural village in China. So although her latest album, Transistor Corazon, explores complexities of the heart in a highly technologically advanced time, balancing 1960s Laurel Canyon with modernist poetry, its not your standard singer-songwriter fare. Opening tonights Cambridge Drive Concert Series show is Rich Phillips, who only started writing and singing songs in the mid-2000s after a full career in other fields. That mature approach, evident on his 2007 CD Ordinary Man (which was produced by the late Montecito resident Kenny Edwards), lends an unusual emotional honesty to his music that also features warm vocals and estimable guitar work. A regular at the Cambridge Drive Open Mic nights, Phillips now gets his own full slot as an opener. WHEN: 7:30pm WHERE: Cambridge Drive Community Church, 550 Cambridge Drive, Goleta COST: $10 in advance, $12 at the door INFO: 964-0436 or www.cambridgedrivechurch.org
Court. WHEN: 5-8pm WHERE: Lower State Street and environs COST: free INFO: www. santabarbaradowntown.com/about/1stthursday Pop goes the casino There is some irony in presenting a show by a trio of pop veterans going by Teen Idols at a venue where teenagers cant actually attend (or at least those under 18, which was the demographic they appealed to back when the songs first came out). And did you also notice that the biggest hits from David Cassidy, Peter Noone (who lives in Montecito), and Micky Dolenz all have egocentric titles (I Think I Love You, Im a Believer, Im Into Something Good)? Just fooling around, here, of course, because anyone who remembers the original lead singers of The Partridge Family and Hermans Hermits, respectively, and a member of the Monkees is much closer to Social Security than ID checks at a bar and theres something kind of charming about the three ostensibly competitive pop stars (Cassidy and Dolenz duked it out on TV, e.g.) banding together to deliver nothing but memories and fun stuff for an evening up in the valley. WHEN: 8pm WHERE: Chumash Casino Resort, 3400 East Hwy. 246, Santa Ynez COST: $35-$75 INFO: (800) CHUMASH (248-6274) or www.chumashcasino.com Friday, October 4 Getting cozy with Kushner Just in his plays alone, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and screenwriter Tony Kushner has taken on a variety of challenging topics, from the personal and social struggle with AIDS (Angels in America) to the civil rights movement (Caroline, or Change), to Afghanistan and the West (Homebody/Kabul). Hes won the 2012 National Medal of Arts, an Emmy, three Obies and two Tony awards, plus an Oscar nomination for his screenplay for Lincoln, adapted from a book by Doris Kearns Goodwin (who will be speaking at UCSB exactly a month later). Perhaps The New York Times said it best in an appreciation of Kushner, noting, Some playwrights want to change the world. Some want to revolutionize theater. Tony Kushner is that rarity of rarities: a writer who has the promise to do both. Tonight, Kushner returns to Campbell Hall for a discussion with Irwin Appel, professor of theater and director of the BFA Actor Training Program at UCSB. WHEN: 8pm WHERE: UCSBs Campbell Hall COST: $25 INFO: 893-3535 or www.ArtsAndLectures. UCSB.edu Wednesday, October 9 Bonoffs back Its been several years since Karla Bonoff has graced local fans with a concert, and quite a bit longer since the singer-songwriter released an album of new material.

Masters of Bluegrass Del McCoury a Grammy winner and a one-time member of Bill Monroes legendary Blue Grass Boys is the titular leader of Masters of Bluegrass, which play the first concert at Campbell Hall this academic season. But hes the first to admit that hes the first among equals. The band also features mandolinist Bobby Osborne, co-leader of the Osborne Brothers and a contemporary of bluegrass pioneers Monroe, Lester Flatt, and Earl Scruggs. Banjo player J.D. Crowe is best known for forming the New South, which provided a new direction for the genre way back in 1975 and launched the careers of guitarist Tony Rice, mandolinist Ricky Skaggs, and dobroist Jerry Douglas nearly 40 years ago. Fiddler Bobby Hicks played with the Blue Grass Boys way back in the 1950s, and bassist Jerry McCoury, Dels brother, was in the Dixie Pals in the 1960s. The line-up includes four Bluegrass Hall of Famers, two Grand Ole Opry members, and hundreds of years of experience. The idea of the masters, which first played at the opening of the 2012 International Bluegrass Music Association awards show, is to capture that back porch feeling with a roster of superstars. Mission accomplished. WHEN: 8pm WHERE: UCSBs Campbell Hall COST: $30-$45 INFO: 8933535 or www.ArtsAndLectures.UCSB.edu

Met Live in HD resumes Opera lovers whose only options this summer were the (admittedly magnificent) Music Academy production of Mozarts The Magic Flute are no doubt rejoicing at the resumption of the Metropolitan Opera simulcasts for a new season. The Music Academys Hahn Hall is once again the most convenient and intimate site on the South Coast to host the high-definition screenings from 10 Met productions, beginning with new production of Tchaikovskys romantic tragedy Eugene Onegin. The Russian composers 1879 work based on Alexander Pushkins verse novel of the same name will be conducted by Russian maestro Valery Gergiev and directed by Fiona Shaw. Deborah Warners staging moves episodically from farmhouse to ballroom, with a powerful snowstorm providing the dramatic setting for the finale. Soprano standout Anna Netrebko opening her third consecutive Met season plays Tatiana, the nave, love-struck heroine, while Mariusz Kwiecien portrays the imperious title character in a much-admired interpretation he has sung in many of the worlds leading opera houses, and Piotr Beczala reprises his acclaimed performance as Onegins friend-turned-rival, Lenski. Coming later in the season: Shostakovichs The Nose (October 26 and November 24), Puccinis Tosca (November 23 and December 15), Verdis Falstaff (December 14 and February 9), Dvoks Rusalka (February 8 and March 2), Borodins Prince Igor (March 1 and 16), Massenets Werther (March 15 and April 6), Puccinis La Bohme (April 5 and 27), Mozarts Cos fan tutte starring Music Academy alumnae Isabel Leonard (05) and Susanna Phillips (02 and 03) (April 26 and May 11), and Rossinis La Cenerentola starring Academy alumnus Juan Diego Flrez (95) (May 10 and 18).

Raitt, and Lynn Anderson, respectively theres a lot of laurels to rest on. We imagine Bonoff, who has lived in Montecito for nearly 20 years, will delve deep into her catalogue, however, when she performs tonight at the Tales from the Tavern series up in Santa Ynez, where the audience is primed for music that goes beyond the commercial, as well as the tales behind the songs. But if you make it up to the valley tonight, mark your calendar now for June 7, when Bonoff will return to the Lobero (after its reopening) together with the legendary Jimmy Webb.

MONTECITO JOURNAL

A. I was always worried it would get boring, and as physical changes got less striking that people would get fed up with it. But there was always interest in the emotional changes, and in their attitudes and view of the world. And then, with 28 Up, we brought it to America, which I didnt think would work because they wouldnt understand the class or educational system. But it was very well received, and for me that was an epiphany that I was doing something that was more universal, dealing with issues about growing up, getting jobs, getting married, having children. So that freed me from the trap of thinking I was just doing something about the English class system, which of course has changed so radically. The way the characters developed became more of the thrust of the pictures. These people have lived their full lives out in public. How much do you think thats impacted what they do, knowing that there will be another movie in seven years? I asked those questions myself after 42, at a festival I did with Sue, one of the working class girls. She said every seven years I look back on my life, I dont prepare it forward or worry about what I should be doing. Ive never made a decision because Michael will show up soon and interrogate me on it... And really thats the power of film. You can have it affect your own life, your own choices and decisions you make.

entertainment (Continued from page 38)

How has the reality TV craze affected the series? It was the elephant in the room in 49 Up, when it emerged as a monster. They asked me, are we just a trashy reality show and why arent we making lots of money and becoming stars. But there has to be a difference, please God. The whole idea of reality TV is to put people in bogus environments, something that is unfamiliar and uncomfortable. But Im just trying to capture in a few minutes the essence of who I think they are, what theyve been doing and how theyve changed. There arent any contrived situations. Theyre just doing what they normally would when I show up every seven years. I just take what I get. If nothing is going on, then so be it. I dont cast it, or only focus on whats exciting or only come along when something happens. Its just a snapshot of their lives at that moment. How has your approach to the project changed over the course of the years? I had to learn not to try to play God, to anticipate or predict what would happen. I did that once with Tony and it was wrong and a ridiculous mistake. I also had to learn not to project my own values and beliefs onto them, and just present them without my own filter. The system I lived by isnt necessarily any better than anybody elses. I found early on that I had judged them, wondering why they didnt worry about careers, or money. For me, one of the most powerful things about 56 Up is that the people who invested

time and energy into families seemed to be much better grounded. Are you surprised at the level of participation you still get? Nearly all of the original kids still appear in most of the movies, and even Peters back after miss-

ing for twenty-one years. Its a hard slog. Its the most important thing I do on each film is get them back. They always make it tough on me, sort of getting revenge. I cant deny there is some residual anger. They feel they were railroaded into it at age seven and never really had much to say about it even later. But I pay them, which is not to be sneered at. And as years have gone on there is some pride and loyalty. Were in that position now where they can complain about it on film, but they also feel bonded to it, and to me and to Claire (his assistant). With Peter, we kept a relationship going all through the years. Hed always decline. But then his music became important. When I was doing forty-nine he asked me to help him get them out there, and I said sure if you come on the show. He wouldnt. But with fifty-six, he wanted me to include a YouTube video with his band and eventually he decided to do it. I dont care why they come back. It can be as self-interested as they want. Thats fine. Whatever it takes. MJ
