ast year was Californias driest year since we became a state in 1850 and so far 2014 is looking even drier. On January 17, Governor Jerry Brown declared a statewide drought emergency. Fourteen days later, for the first time in its 54-year history, the State Water Project announced that it would be unable to deliver any of its contractually obligated water to the 29 local water agencies in Santa Barbara County. The question is: Without significant rain, when will Montecito run out of water? Unless Montecito customers drastically reduce existing water consumption patterns, we will go dry by mid-July. The busiest man in Montecito is Tom Mosby, general manager of the Montecito Water District (MWD), who is scampering all over the state trying to buy supplemental water to satisfy his thirsty customers in Montecito, Summerland, and along Coast Village Road. The Montecito Water District Board, chaired by Darlene Bierig, has been meeting bi-weekly in special sessions to address the current crisis. According to Bierig and the board, whats needed now is a drastic cut in water usage, beginning immediately. She stressed, This will be a shared community effort; we must cut consumption through both voluntary efforts and mandatory allocation or rationing to ensure adequate water for life and fire safety needs. As her fellow director Sam Frye notes, We can allocate, but we cant manufacture water we dont have.
Montecito Running out of Water
Montecito Water Supply
Drought: The water year in Montecito begins October 1 and ends September 30. Normal rainfall in Montecito runs 17 to 20 per year. For the water year that began on October 1, 2013, rainfall has been approximately 16% of normal. In 2012-13, annual rainfall was 31% of normal. In 2011-12, we received 53% of normal annual rainfall. Thats three years in a row of drought. The last time Montecito had significant rainfall was 2010-11, when we received 29 of rain, or 145% of normal. The wettest month ever in Santa Barbara was February 1998 when 21.4 of rain fell in 28 days. That contributed to the wettest year on record, measuring 46.8 of rainfall, or almost 2 times a normal years rainfall. Pray for a repeat.
Where Does Our Water Come from?
The 2013-14 MWD plan called for Montecito to be able to tap into 6,822 acre-feet (AF) of water from four sources: 1) 55% of our water from nearby Lake Cachuma, our primary water source; 2) 22% from Montecitos Jameson Reservoir and Doulton Tunnel; 3) 19% from state water, diverted from Northern California to Lake Cachuma; and 4) 4% from local wells and groundwater. As a point of reference, one acre-foot of water is enough water to fill a football field to the depth of 12, or 325,851 gallons. Available water for 2013-14 will be closer to 5,300 AF than the 6,500 AF available during years of near-normal rainfall. 1) Lake Cachuma, the primary source of drinking water for 200,000 people on the southern end of Santa Barbara County, now sits at 39% of capacity. Water levels are expected to fall below intake valves by the end of summer, necessitating emergency pumping. 2) Jameson-Doulton is expected to deliver no more than 810 AF this year, compared to about 2,100 AF in a normal rainfall year. 3) Deliveries of State water allocations that were promised to supply emergency water in times of drought have been cut to zero. 4) Without rain to recharge groundwater, local wells will produce less or go dry, putting added pressure on MWD. The bottom line is that the available water supply for Montecito is likely to fall nearly 30% below current demand levels.
Peace of
Building
Mind
Where Does Our Water Go?
Faced with severe drought, MWD customers have been setting new records in water consumption, despite the introduction of tiered pricing in 2008, designed to discourage high usage. If water demand trends continue at or above 6,800 AF, with an available supply of 5,300 AF, the inevitable result will be that by the third week of July, Montecito goes dry. Mandatory-use restrictions are being implemented by MWD to drive Montecitos annual water use down from the 6,800 AF level to a maximum of 5,300 AF, a reduction of almost 30% in usage. It is estimated that 80% of all MWD water is used for outside landscaping. Unfortunately, the average daily water use in Montecito is about 290 gallons of water per person, the highest on the Central Coast. The average daily

ABCs Deceptive Gun Report

he propagandists over at ABC are out with a new investigative report on the dangers of firearms inside the home: 7,391 children [are] rushed to the hospital every year with ... gun injuries, mused anchor Diane Sawyer, citing a new study from the journal Pediatrics, and 453 of those children die at the hospital. As usual, however, the report leaves out some important disclaimers: The studys definition of children includes anyone under the age of 20. Apparently when it comes to exploiting the dangers of gun ownership, youre considered a child halfway through college (yet those in puberty are considered adult enough to make coherent decisions regarding sex, birth control and sexual orientation?). Secondly, Sawyer failed to mention that 2,149 of the incidents were from accidental or negligent discharges, 270 were attempted suicides, and the remaining 4,559 were criminal assaults (gangs, anyone?). Talk about a gross distortion of the facts. Janice Evans Santa Barbara

Thanks again for more fine articles about two of our local artists histories: Lutah Riggs (Looking For Lutah MJ #20/4) and Lockwood de Forest Sr. (Celebrating History MJ #20/4). Lutahs own home on Middle Road has always been a local treasure in artistic architecture, very personalized, according to her personal codes and values. Mr. Lockwood de Forest Sr.s paintings mentioned in Hattie Beresfords article are also a local treasure. I want to mention Mr. de Forests other talents in architectural design. In 2011, I had the opportunity to do the redesign, working drawings, and permit processing of Mr. de Forest Sr.s home on Laguna Street, which he designed as an artist and built with his contractor circa 1915, with Cityissued building permits. My work included the refurbishing and restoration of the existing home and new additions. Thanks to the help of Lockwood de Forests grandson, Mr. Kellam de Forest, who supplied us with photos of the original construction in progress, I was able to process our current permits through the Citys Historic Structure Committee
and help preserve the original. In 1915, Laguna Street was unpaved and home services were normally supplied by horse and buggy and by some early trucks. Many of the building supplies came from Stearns Wharf loading docks. When finished and lived in, electricity was new and the heating was supplied by fireplaces. Mr. de Forest Sr.s design included, however, many of the ecological attributes that today we know as environmentally friendly. The 8,400-sq-ft original building is three stories plus a roof deck covering the whole roof as a belvedere with a large glass enclosed indoor cupola. From here, with its magnificent ocean-city-and-mountain views, Mr. de Forest painted many of his paintings that are now being rediscovered. Over the last 44 years here in Montecito, Ive designed many new homes for folks and all of them were determined to be very stately, regal, but never ostentatious and always child friendly. Mr. de Forest Sr.s architectural design talents brilliantly and skillfully accommodated these traditions while creating a new environmentally-friendly-to-our-climate structure. His designs were very advanced. To accomplish the refurbishing of his home and to preserve its originality, it was necessary for me to measure the existing in minute detail, as no original plans have been found. It was when I was drawing new plans and elevations from these measurements that the brilliance and amazing architectural design qualities of the original became apparent. The scullery, or servants pantry and kitchen, is on the ground floor, with a Laguna Street entry and loading-delivery area. Fresh produce was prepared and preserved here and the cooking stoves, ovens, and fireplace heat was used to warm the second-floor kitchen, pantry, and dining rooms on the second floor directly above. A dumbwaiter delivers food and drinks to the dining room and second kitchen and also the master bedroom suite on the third floor straight above. The second floor dining room fireplace heats these third-floor areas, where another fireplace in the master bedroom completes the heating system. All the adjacent living rooms were also heated this way. The whole house is oriented away from the street side and toward the very private interior garden. The rest 13 20 February 2014

of the functional design: natural sunlight from dawn to dusk in every room; large operable windows for natural ventilation and great views that capture our daily natural air-conditioning afternoon sea breezes, etc. It all made for an environment of liveliness where it is not possible to be un-creative nor unhappy. His son, Lockwood de Forest Jr., is now the famous landscape designer who even has a type of rosemary named after him. The young couple that now owns the house made it their honeymoon home. Just before they moved in, the brides mother, a well-known interior designer, took charge of the interior dcor and brought the interiors back to their original comfort and style in a spectacular fresh design that actually enhances the original, now historic, home and liveliness. And then Pacific Pride Foundation called me, asking if I knew of a living room they could borrow for an afternoon with a few guests. The couple kindly opened their doors. Guests included Helene Schneider, the mayor of Santa Barbara, Gavin Newsom, the Lieutenant Governor of the State of California, and about 20 other officials. It was an extremely enjoyable afternoon, a great way to inaugurate the new owners home and their revitalization of an artistic and historic home and a lot of fun too! Tom Kress Montecito
As an experienced engineer and designer, you can think of some terrific solutions to this problem. The stairways you built are close by, however, much more difficult to use as a wheelchair or baby carriage ramp. Gloria Hebert Montecito
A Modern Tale
Wheelchair Wondering
(The following letter was written to John Daly of McCoy Construction in Beverly Hills and forwarded to the Montecito Journal) Many years ago, when you were here in Montecito, building for Mr. Ty Warner, you gave me your business card. Thank you. Your improvements [to Butterfly Beach in front of the Biltmore] are excellent. This is seen daily when there is high tide and huge rocks, etc., [however], the wheelchair ramp is ever a sand-filled mess. I was wondering if some additional metal attachment that is perhaps concave and about three feet high, would deflect the wave-brought beach sand.
(In light of the recent Congressional Budget Offices revelations concerning ObamaCares negative effect on employment and the concomitant responses from the White House and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi stating that people who didnt want to work would no longer actually have to work and that that was a good thing, and since there is apparently no thought as to how all this productive free time is to be paid for other than by we poor job-locked wage slaves, we thought wed print the following updated allegory.) Every day, a small ant arrived at work very early and started work immediately. She produced a lot and she was happy. The chief, a lion, was surprised to see that the ant was working without supervision. He thought if the ant can produce so much without supervision, wouldnt she produce even more if she had a supervisor! So, he recruited a cockroach who had extensive experience as supervisor and who was famous for writing excellent reports. The cockroachs first decision was to set up a clocking-in attendance system. He also needed a secretary to help him write and type his reports and he recruited a spider, who managed the archives and monitored all phone calls. The lion was delighted with the cockroachs reports and asked him to produce graphs to describe production rates and to analyze trends, so that he could use them for presentations at board meetings. So, the cockroach had to buy a new computer and a laser printer and recruited a fly to manage the IT department. The ant, who had once been so productive and relaxed, hated this new plethora of paperwork and meetings that used up most of her time. The lion came to the conclusion that

Village Beat
Montecito Under by Kelly Mahan Drought Emergency
n Tuesday, February 11, Montecito Water District Board of Directors approved and adopted Ordinance 92, which declares a water-shortage emergency in Montecito. The hearing, which took place at the Montecito Fire Protection District boardroom, was packed with more than 80 Montecito residents who stood in doorways and sat on the floor to hear the presentation and public comments. The district needs 7,000 acre-feet of water to service Montecito customers; its estimated that only 5,300 acre-feet will be available in 2014. The 5,300 acre-feet includes 54% from Lake Cachuma, 14% from Jameson Lake and Dalton Tunnel, 7% from the groundwater basin, and 25% from the State Water Project, which general manager Tom Mosby secured last year. Usually there is a carryover of water each year; this year the district will not break even, let alone have carryover to use for 2015. As less rain falls, customers use more water to keep their landscaping green. Single Family Residences
account for 73% of water use, and 80% of that is for outdoor landscaping. Montecito Water District (MWD) called the drought situation dire, and said if residents do not decrease their water usage significantly, the district will be out of water by the summer. We need a minimum cutback of thirty percent district-wide, Mosby said. Ordinance 92, the first of two MWD ordinances to be adopted by the end of the month, calls for specific water restrictions. A second ordinance, to be discussed this week and possibly voted on next week, deals with allocation of water to MWD customers. The restrictions, which will likely be in effect as soon as the second ordinance is adopted, includes the denial of all applications for new water service or increases in size of water meters. There are also restrictions on automated irrigation of lawns, turf, shrubs, plants, trees, and groundcover to the hours between 7 pm and 7 am, and manual irrigation is restricted to the hours between 4 pm and 10:30 am. The ordinance prohibits the drain-
ing and refilling of private swimming pools, Jacuzzis and fountains, and no new public or private pools, ponds or water features will be approved. Restaurants and hotels must post drought-restriction notices for guests; no table water will be served, except on request, and towels and bed linens will not be changed daily unless requested by guests. Cars shall be washed only at commercial car washing facilities, or by the use of a bucket and hose equipped with a hand-operated, shut-off valve. Breaks or leaks in water lines must be repaired immediately. And lastly, hosing of driveways, sidewalks, patios, or parking lots is prohibited. Fines will be imposed to violators after a warning: fines will range from $250 for the first offense, up to $1,000. More than a dozen people spoke at the meeting, with some giving suggestions about how to conserve and others accusing the board of not being aggressive enough in informing customers how dire the situation really is. Several people brought up the desalinization plant in Santa Barbara, to which board chair Darlene Bierig responded: We are actively engaged in looking at supplemental sources, but for now, we need to pull together as a community and conserve the precious water we have left. The second ordinance, expected to be on the agenda for next weeks MWD board meeting, deals with the nuts and bolts and methodology in allocating water to district customers. The allocation ordinance is necessary to achieve the 30% reduction in use, according to Mosby. The ordinance, aimed at mandatory rationing, will give single-family residents a maximum amount of water to be used each month; customers will be given additional allocations based on the size of their parcel, based on seasonal-usage patterns. Penalties and fines associated with exceeding the allocation have yet to be sorted out. Mandatory water allocation will also be given to commercial and agricultural institutions. Montecito
Union School superintendent Tammy Murphy tells us the school is already actively conserving water on campus, including educating students and parents on how they can help. The drought situation is likely to be worse in 2015, Mosby explained to the crowd. Its estimated the water available in 2015 will be 2,140 acrefeet, which means the district will only be able to provide enough water for interior purposes; there will not be enough water for any outside irrigation. Decreasing the level of consumption and conservation, is imperative, he stressed. To see the full presentation, as well as what is included in Ordinance 92, visit www.montecitowater.com. The Montecito Association will host a forum on water conservation in the coming weeks; time and date were to be determined.
Montecito Association Creates New Committee
In an effort to better equip the Montecito Association (MA) in dealing with local transportation and road issues, on Tuesday the MA board of directors voted unanimously to create a Transportation Committee. The committee was formerly a sub-committee of the Land Use Committee; designation as its own committee will allow for more specific oversights including parking, road issues, and the upcoming Highway 101 expansion. The new committee will be chaired by Tom Bollay; board members Dick Nordlund, Bob Williams, and Monica Brock Petersen will serve on the committee, while citizen members (not on the board) will include Bob Short, Steve Lew, and Bob Kent. Other MA administrative news includes the resignation of Carla Tomson as a board member; she will be replaced by Michele Saltoun.

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 13
SBMM Lecture Series Rowing expert Brad Vickers grew up in Santa Barbara, where he attended Crane Country Day School and Bishop Diego High School. He spent much of his time hiking the foothills and surng. Brad left the relatively warm waves of Santa Barbara to attend university in the Northwest and was soon drawn to the cold waters of the Puget Sound as a member of the college rowing team. Upon graduating the University of Puget Sound, Brad helped form a racing expedition team with the goal of rowing across the North Atlantic, embarking on an extended post-college road trip of sorts. In doing so, his team won the race and earned a Guinness World Record. Brad is currently involved with several expedition projects and is working on a documentary of the world-record ocean row. He also shares insights on expedition leadership and team dynamics with businesses and community organizations; today he will share photographs and video footage from the North Atlantic, as well as lessons on team dynamics and leadership learned from spending more than two months on the open ocean with three other equally strong-willed teammates.

On Tuesday, February 11, two small fires broke out near Montecito; one in the foothills of Toro Canyon, the other on the freeway shoulder near Coast Village Circle. Sparking power lines were to blame in the Toro Canyon incident, which broke out before 6 am on the 1200 block of Toro Canyon Road. The halfacre fire was extinguished quickly, as the weather was cool and the winds were low, Montecito Fire chief Chip Hickman tells us. The fire near the freeway was also extinguished quickly, with aid from two Santa Barbara City engines and one engine from MFPD. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but Hickman says it was alarming how tall the flames grew in a short amount of time, especially during a winter month. We all need to be on high alert, he said.

Riviera Smiles Welcomes Acupuncturist

Montecito dentist Dr. Ana Martinez, DDS, owner of Riviera Smiles on Coast Village Road, has added a new service to her dental practice: acupuncture. Kenichi Nishiya , L.Ac., a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, has been brought on to offer cosmetic acupuncture, as well as acupuncture for the treatment of a variety of health disorders. Nishiya graduated from the Santa Barbara College of Oriental Medicine more than ten years ago and has practiced acupuncture in Hawaii, Texas, and California. He tells us that in China, acupuncture is frequently used in dental offices and before surgical procedures, to lessen the anxiety patients feel about dental work. Im looking forward to teaming up with Dr. Martinez. It makes sense to bring acupuncture
and Western medicine together, he said. Nishiya will be on hand for short appointments before dental procedures to lessen anxiety, as well as help with associated swelling, post-procedure. Acupuncture can also help with TMJ, toothache pain, and immunity, he said. Cosmetic acupuncture is also available; Nishiya practices Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture, which can treat wrinkles, acne, pigmentation issues, and facial paralysis associated with Bells palsy. Cosmetic acupuncture is the hottest trending area in acupuncture, Nishiya said. Its been featured as an up-and-coming beauty treatment; the natural alternative to Botox and fillers, he said. Nishiyas father grew up in the countryside of Japan, where elders would use herbal medicine and acupuncture to treat any and all ailments. I knew I wanted to use Eastern medicine in my career, said Nishiya, who is a former high school football and basketball coach. He has worked with athletes for sports performance and rehabilitation, as well as with women interested in balancing their hormone levels. Acupuncture treats a wide variety of issues, and Im looking forward to being here, he said. Dr. Martinez, who hails from Peru, opened Riviera Smiles in 2012, in the space formerly occupied by the UPS Store. Her vision for the technologically advanced office was tranquility; local art hangs on the walls, there are comfortable waiting-room chairs, and private exam and procedure rooms, featuring massaging dental chairs. The office has an array of dental advancements, including computer-assisted anesthesia, which promises to be virtually painless, digital X-rays, diode lasers, and new surgical technology which reduces the chance of possible complications, surgical bleeding, and post-operative discomfort. The office offers general dentistry and cleanings, cosmetic dentistry, and oral surgery. Riviera Smiles is located at 1187 Coast Village Road, Suite 11.

Jerry reported with statistics for the last 50 years, one especially interesting was that the Trust has made 100,000 adobe bricks for the reconstruction that has taken place at the Presidio. One of those responsible for much of that was Tim Aguilar who received the prestigious Pearl Chase Historic Preservation and Conservation Award for all his adobe work. He replied, When you get started, you cant stop. Other awardees were the Santa Barbara Courthouse Legacy Foundation who received the George and Vivian Obern Preservation Stewardship Award. Among other preservation work, the Oberns saved the Hope House, which is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Jeannie Davis won the Sue Higman Volunteer Award for her many hours making the plaque that was presented to the Spanish prince and will be placed on the donor wall here.

The Santa Barbara Historical Museum (SBHM) presented a lecture by Frank Goss about their latest landmark exhibition: Luminescent Santa Barbara Lockwood de Forest. Frank titled his talk The Bustle of Manhattan & the Quiet of Mission Creek. Frank and his wife own Sullivan Goss, An American Gallery and the Arts & Letters Caf (a local favorite) celebrating 30 years. Goss has been recognized for his research in the New York Times and the 42nd Street Library in New York City and more. Interim executive director Warren Miller introduced the speaker and thanked the sponsors: Eleanor Van Cott, Ozzie Da Ross, John C. Woodward, Marlene and Warren Miller, Dorothy and Ashleigh Brilliant, William S. Burtness, Astrid and Lawrence Hammett, Sullivan Goss, Terry Bartlett and Randall Fox, Mary and John Blair, George Burtness, and the South Coast Fine Arts Conservation Center. Chief curator Daniel Calderon who created the show says, Lockwood de Forest was fascinated by the color of light in transition such as at dawn, dusk or on a moonlit night, and he painted its atmospheric effects on our landscape like no other. Lockwood lived from 1850 to 1932 and trained with the Hudson River School as a painter. He was accepted into the prestigious National Academy in 1891 at a very early age. He loved to travel and was an accomplished designer as well. He worked with Louis Comfort Tiffany, producing Indian furnishings in New York. As Frank says, New York is the only city for an artist. The rest dont count. But in 1915, de Forest settled into Santa Barbara permanently and resumed his painting. Meantime he had plenty of exhibitions in New York one that had over one hundred of his works a staggering number. Another thing, which many people dont know, was that he started to become deaf in his 20s and both he and his wife, Meta, were stone-deaf in their elder years. The majority of the current exhib-

The Cecilia Fund
The Cecilia Fund, which began as the St. Cecila Club in 1892, is the
oldest philanthropic charity in Santa Barbara. It is very much alive and well and has just rebranded itself The Cecilia Fund. The reason for the old name had nothing to do with religion. It was simply a group of lady musicians who formed an orchestra and gave benefit concerts to raise money to help the medically needy. St. Cecilia is the patron saint of music. Today, the group is still helping individuals on a one-time basis with critical needs now, including dental work. They have no paid staff, so the board is totally volunteer. Referrals come through social workers, healthcare providers, and medical and dental providers. Many times the recipients are the working poor, or seniors living on Social Security. Some are young, some are old. Once a year, the board hosts a tea for all the donors. The All Saints ByThe-Sea church is kind enough to let Cecilia use their facility free of charge. This years tea chairs were Shelly Chessie Miller, Charlene Nagel and Sigrid Toye. The new board was presented: president Tish Gainey, vice president Heidi Rose, case investigator Nikki Rickard, secretary Sigrid Toye, treasurer Mary Garton, marketing Marion Schoneberger,

President Tish called the 122nd meeting to order, telling us, One in five live in poverty in Santa Barbara County. Every year the needs seem to grow. Last year Cecilia received some grants, including one from the Womens Fund. But they always receive more requests than they can fiscally grant usually around 100 totaling about $300,000 annually. As

The Art and Transformative Psychology of C.G. Jungs Red Book

After a long period of self-reection and experimentation, which he called confrontation with the unconscious The Red Book emerged from Jungs psyche, with elaborate calligraphy and beautiful illustrations drawn by his own hand. In 2009, after decades in the family vault, the book was expertly digitized and published. Now, ve years later, The Red Book continues to captivates our imagination. This weekend symposium will bring together Jungian analysts, scholars, and artistic thinkersmany of whom were key gures in the books publication for critical and creative dialogues about Jungs contributions to science, religion, psychology, art, and perception. The weekend will begin with an opening reception for an exhibition of limited-edition ne art prints from The Red Book.
The years I pursued the inner images were the most important time of my life. Everything else is derived from this.

it was high time to nominate a person in charge of the department where the ant worked. The position was given to the cicada, whose first decision was to buy a carpet and an ergonomic chair for his office. He also needs a computer and a personal assistant, who he brought from his previous department, to help him prepare a Work and Budget Control Strategic Optimization Plan. The department where the ant works is now a sad place, where nobody laughs and everybody has become upset It was at the time the cicada convinced the boss, the lion, of the absolute necessity to start a climactic study of the environment. Having reviewed the charges for running the ants department, the lion found out that the production was much less than before. So, he recruited the owl, a prestigious and renowned consultant to carry out an audit and suggest solutions. The owl spent three months in the department and came up with an enormous report, in several volumes, that concluded: The department is overstaffed Guess who the lion lets go of first? The ant, of course, because she showed lack of motivation and had a negative attitude.

usage in the City of Santa Barbara is 86 gallons per person. Carpinterias daily usage is 84 gallons per person, while Goleta has reduced its daily consumption to 66 gallons per person, one-quarter of the usage in Montecito. The difference in usage relates almost solely to the dramatic difference in outdoor landscaping.

Declaration of Water-Shortage Emergency
This is why we have added over 200,000 new government employees in the past two years. And, thats why I am so thankful to be retired! A Happy Government Retiree Santa Barbara (Editors note: Well, shucks, with your indexed-for-inflation pension and taxfree disability enhancement you probably earn over 90% of what you earned when working. Plus, because of quantitative easing interest rates are at record lows and in order for most of us to make the kind of money you make in retirement, wed have had to have saved at least $3 million and up to $10 million during our working lives. Lucky you! J.B.) MJ
On February 11, 2014 the Montecito Water Board held a public hearing at Fire Station 1 to declare a water-shortage emergency and introduce restrictions on the use of water. The passage of Water Ordinance 92 calls for: The denial of all applications for new water service or increases in size of water meters. Restricting automated irrigation of lawns, turf, shrubs, plants, trees and groundcover to the hours between 7 pm and 7 am. Manual irrigation is restricted to the hours between 4 pm and 10:30 am. Prohibiting the draining and refilling of private swimming pools, Jacuzzis and fountains. Current water levels can be maintained for existing pools, and topping will be allowed to replace evaporation. No new public or private pools, ponds or water features will be approved. Restaurants and hotels must post drought-restriction notices for guests. No table water will be served, except on request. Towels and bed linens will not be changed daily unless requested by guests. Hosing of driveways, sidewalks, patios, or parking lots is prohibited. Breaks or leaks in water lines must be repaired immediately. Violations of the water-use restrictions listed above are subject to a written warning followed by a $250 fine per repeated occurrence. The Declaration of Water Shortage Emergency ordinance becomes effective as soon as legally possible following the February 11 public hearing.
Mandatory Rationing
Allocation Ordinance: Recognizing that voluntary conservation wont cut water usage in Montecito by the necessary 30%, the Montecito Water Board is crafting a companion ordinance, aimed at mandatory water rationing. The challenge is to develop an allocation methodology 1) that is perceived by users to be fair and reasonable; 2) that assures consumption of no more than 5,300 AF per year; and 3) does not unfairly penalize users who have already taken the necessary steps to reduce consumption and conserve water. Given the seriousness of the current drought, and the record usage in the first four months of this water year, a start date of March 1, 2014 for mandatory allocation is deemed necessary for the district to have any chance of reaching the desired 5,300 AF consumption level.
Customer Profile in Montecito: 2012-13
Allocation needs to be shared across the entire MWD customer base. Shown below is a recap of MWD usage for the water year October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013 by type of customer:
Single-Family Residential (SFR) Allocation Plan
Single-family residents make up 94% of the MWD customer base and account for 74% of all water usage in 2012-13. If approved by the District Board, single-family residential customers will receive a maximum health, safety, and minimum landscape allocation of 300 HCF per annum, or 25 HCF per month. In addition, for each acre of property as designated on the County Assessor map, SFR residents would receive an additional irrigation allotment, dependent on property size, divided into monthly allocations that track seasonal usage patterns. In summary, SFR residential users living on a one-acre parcel would receive a total of 411 HCF of water per year, consisting of a 300 HCF base allotment plus an additional 111 HCF for a one-acre parcel. This 411 HCF per annum would be allocated per month to reflect seasonal variations but would average out to some 34 HCF per month. There would be no monthly carryover for water usage below the allocation target in a single month. 13 20 February 2014

Penalties and Appeals
Penalties for Overuse of Monthly Allotments : Potential penalties, fines, restricted flow devices, and water service turnoff are still being refined, but one variation under consideration is a three strikes and you are out. Strike 1 would be a substantial monetary penalty for all water used above the allocation. Strike 2 would be the automatic installation of a MWD flow restrictor for a second offense. Strike 3 could be termination of all water service. Appeals Process: Appeals can be made to the MWD general manager. Each appeal would necessitate a non-refundable appeal fee in an amount that would cover the cost of management time, staff time, and Board Appeal Committee time in the appeals process.

Six-Year Drought of 1986-1991
8 W. De La Guerra Pl. - S.B. THE MET OPERA - Live ROBOCOP (PG-13)in HD

(PG-13)
Many in Montecito remember the drought of 1986-1991 when water trucks from Oxnard and Carpinteria plied the streets of Montecito selling irrigation water to eager residents scrambling to save expensive landscaping. Common practices included placing buckets in showers to capture irrigation water, installing grey-water systems and spray-painting brown lawns to make them appear green. After briefly considering hauling icebergs to Santa Barbara, panicked Montecito voters approved a plan for MWD to purchase a 9.5% share Juncal Dam at Jameson Lakenormally providing 25% of the districts water supply in the Coastal Branch of the State Water Project, as the solution to our water problems. The $54-million State Water Project of tunnels, pipes, pumps, and reservoirs promised to deliver 3,300 AF annually to MWD, when needed in times of drought. As a secondary backup, MWD partnered with the City of Santa Barbara and Goleta to build a $34 million desalination plant at 525 E. Yanonali Street, capable of producing up to 10,000 AF of potable water per annum. The drought ended with the March Miracle of 1991 when four weeks of successive rains dumped 14 of rain that replenished near-empty reservoirs, followed by two years of above average rainfall. With replenished water supplies, the desalination plant was decommissioned by the City of Santa Barbara. The filters, which break down without use, were sold by the city to Saudi Arabia, and the plant was placed on standby maintenance and then on long-term storage. It is estimated that reactivation of the Santa Barbara desal plant could take 18-24 months at a cost of $17-20 million. Consideration needs to be given to a countywide emergency program to pool available supplies of water. Rules need to be rewritten to allow the water district to transfer water and institute complementary regional conservation plans on a cooperative basis for all water districts in Santa Barbara County. We may or may not see any significant rainfall before the end of March but we have a resourceful and creative man in charge at Montecito Water District: General Manager Tom Mosby. Mr. Mosby is already working on alternative ways of ensuring Montecito a continuing supply of water. He seems sure that well get through this if we all do our part, and that gives us comfort. Icebergs from Canada, anyone? MJ 13 20 February 2014

Coup De Grace
by Grace Rachow
Ms. Rachows advice is to start every morning with a good breakfast and end the day with a sunset beach walk with your sweetheartand write love letters in the sand.
very day of his life, my father rose before the sun to make breakfast. While he fried bacon and eggs, he sang his repertoire of old love songs. The rest of our family liked to sleep in as long as possible, but if we had to be pulled out of our dreams much too early, the sound of Love is a Many Splendored Thing isnt a bad way to wake. Our family dined on multicolored Melamine. My dad always gave my mom her instant Maxwell House in the pink cup because it was the sweetest color. And my dad had the blue to match his eyes. Every single day, they had the same cups. Yes, my dad tended toward OCD, but in a romantic way. When Valentines Day rolled around, my dad splurged on drugstore chocolates in fancy boxes for my mom, and I got a junior-sized box of confections, too.
Love Is a Many Splendored Thing
Few read the fine print where it clearly states its the thought that counts. A homemade valentine is more than enough to melt my heart. After going through a few distinctly unromantic boyfriends, I started dating a handsome stranger one December. The relationship was going pretty well, but I held my breath as February 14 approached. On that day, he invited me to breakfast in Carpinteria and picked me up on a brand-new bicycle made for two. Wow! Hop on, he said. I was young and impressionable, and I could not imagine anything more romantic than heading off for a coffee shop on the back of a shiny, blue tandem bicycle. I was soon to learn that my new boyfriend was not only romantic, he was a maniac when it came to taking the back-road curves. On the descent of hills we hit 50 miles an hour, and
I chose the latter. For one reason, it seemed like it would be more nourishing. But the other thing that occurred to me was the distance back home from Carp. I figured pedaling my way on the rear seat of that tandem bicycle was better than walking alone. Now, after thirty-some Februarys together, its time to tally the score. There have been countless red roses, sometimes on Valentines Day.
Whats with all the red roses? I once asked. My favorite flower, he said. Ive saved a boxful of charming cards from him, some handmade and many of them valentines. And every morning since that long-ago Valentines Day, breakfast has been part of the deal. Love is a many splendored thing. And its a daily thing. MJ

What little girl would not be thrilled with a satiny heart-shaped box with plastic roses affixed to the lid? And candy inside! Obviously, I had the very best dad in the world. However, I got the point it was the coffee every single day in that pink Melamine cup that made my parents love special. Or maybe it was the seductive smell of frying bacon. Either way, we could count on my dad not to let us down. I grew up assuming all men were like him. I discovered real-world boyfriends could be a little shaky when it came to tokens of romance. Even the nicest of guys were known to break off relationships somewhere around Groundhog Day. And who could blame them? We all get bombarded with the ads for heart-shaped jewelry, red lingerie and romantic champagne dinners for two. Youd think the only way to express love is to drop a few thousand bucks, and that isnt even counting the limo. 13 20 February 2014
by the time we made it to the coffee shop, I was suffering from a heady mixture of infatuation and Stockholm Syndrome. Id also worked up an appetite. My new love bought me an omelette with home fries. Eat up. Youll need the calories for the ride home. This was a guy who understood how to have fun, and breakfast was part of the deal. If he had produced coffee in a pink Melamine cup, I wouldve married him right there. Oh my, I said. This is the very best Valentines Day Ive ever had. And he said, Is that today? Oops, I didnt know. I realized at that moment this relationship was at a critical crossroads: Should I stomp out of the coffee shop, indignant my new boyfriend was oblivious to the Hallmark blitz of heart-shaped falderal? Or should I be thrilled at the prospect that our future might be exciting and include a yummy breakfast every day?

early as many people who attended the Friday night Bob Veloz 80th Black-Tie Birthday Bash at Bacara (read all about that by MJ columnist Richard Mineards, beginning on page six in this issue) returned the next day albeit dressed way more casually for Saturdays Hallelujah Brunch, featuring singers from the Adderley School For The Performing Arts, and headlined by multi-Grammy winning gospel and R&B singer BeBe Winans. First, we descended the staircase toward the closed doors of the grand ballroom, behind which the entire space had been transformed into a gigantic church, complete with stained glass windows and rays of heavenly sunshine filtering down

upon the altar (the stage) and the pews of the faithful (chairs). As we gathered to converse at the bottom of the stairway, Mike Towbes, there with his wife, Anne, was asked if he had reached that 80-year threshold yet. Yes, I have, a while ago, he confessed. When asked how old he was, he answered Eighty-four and a half. Eighty-four and a half? Who the heck uses half-years? someone asked. When youre my age, you count every day, Mike shot back. When all were seated and after weekend host Oprah Winfrey greeted everyone, Janet Adderley led a chorus of youngsters from her Adderley

School of the Performing Arts in Santa Barbara up on the stage. The group performed selections from the Broadway musical version of The Color Purple. Ms Winfrey was co-producer of the play, and was nominated for an Oscar as best supporting actress for her performance as Sofia in the 1985 film, directed by Steven Spielberg. After being lovingly introduced by Oprah, BeBe Winans sang a series of gospel songs that under ordinary circumstances would have had virtually any audience up on its feet responding with amens and hallelujahs to the call of Mr. Winans insistent beat. But, this was not any audience. This was a Santa Barbara audience many from Montecito and the most animated they got was some heartfelt toe tapping. And I dont mean that as an insult, as I was tapping my toes right along with the rest of the crowd. Throwing our hands up in the air and praising the lord just wasnt in us. Thats not to say we didnt absolutely love Mr. Winans, or his music, or the backup band, or the backup singers, all of whom combined to create a rousing, exhilarating, roof-raising experience, the likes of which most of us had never either witnessed or been part of. BeBe and his team gave up a superb hour-and-a-half to two hours of pure soul-satisfying, inspirational enter-

tainment. We absolutely loved it. BeBes energetic version of Its Gonna Be Alright was long and enthusiastic. When the song finally wound down, he quipped, You see, this is why black folks spend four hours in church: we could have sung that song for two and a half. Indeed he could have. Over the past decade, BeBe has become a close friend of Bob and Marlene, and he related the story of how they first met. It was at Oprahs elaborate 50th birthday party, hosted by the Velozes. I go to bed early, Bebe recounts, so I was slipping out of their home (around 10 oclock in the evening) and I hadnt really met them. I was putting on my coat and was on my way out when Marlene comes up and says, Hi, Im Marlene. Bob came up right behind her. We just want to say, she said, we enjoyed having you at our home. Oh, so this is your house? I said. Yes, and we want you to know you can come to our house anytime you want, and just get away and stay as long as you want. I said, You white people are crazy! You dont know me. I could be a murderer.

Laughter and joy were widespread and infectious during BeBe Winans spirited performance at Bob Velozs 80th birthday celebration at the Bacara
Actor Rob Lowe was called up from the audience to join BeBe on stage because, as BeBe said half-jokingly, it was important to have somebody white up there with him. Together they sang It All Comes Down To Love, and Rob was not only game, but he also offered up some fairly impressive musical chops and smooth moves right along with BeBe. Later, during brunch, Bob Veloz remarked that Rob has about six or seven songs he absolutely nails and that Robs rendition of Sittin By The Dock Of The Bay is even better than Otis Reddings

They said You can drive any car you want to. I said, These people crazy. But, Im telling you, I fell in love with these people. And the only thing I want to share is that my niece, Joy, came over when I was hanging out at the Velozes, and they asked some friends to come over. Margo and Jeff (Barbakow) and Sandi and Bill (Nicholson), and some more rich white people came over. Now, growing up in Detroit, Michigan, I grew up in a family of ten; we didnt have a lot of toys, so we had to make up games. So, were talking and having fun, and I decided to make up a game. It was like Charades but with something else. Were playing
it and having a great time and the sun started going down, and it started to get pitch black and they kept on going. I said, Look, yall. After a while, yall wont be able to see me, so weve got to end this game. Well, Bob went into the house

Just 12 hours later the youngsters from Janet Adderleys Santa Barbara Youth Ensemble Theatre also dressed in red performed at a gospel brunch, singing songs from the Broadway show The Color Purple, having suitably impressed Oprah now clad in a green Oscar de la Renta skirt when
they performed at a VIP reception at her auction at the SB Polo Club in November. She took footage on her iPhone at the time and then invited us to sing at her party, says Janet. The children were very excited. Actor Rob Lowe joined R&B star BeBe Winans on stage for a duet of It All Comes Down To Love. As I reported here last week, Oprah, who was reportedly going to have a mega bash to mark her sixth decade, decided to tone down her celebrations when numbers became overwhelming. When the guest list reached four hundred people, it wasnt a matter of who to include, but who not to include, a friend tells me...

When I was younger, I loved riding horses and wanted them to be in a more free environment. I bought land in Utah and bought horses to rescue them. Two of my films, The Horse Whisperer and Electric Horseman, have featured them. The wild horse is a symbol of America, which has been devalued. We have to really get the word out about this so they can be saved. Hopefully, my land in Utah can be of some use. Among the 50 guests turning out for the cause were Pat Hines,

Seeking Green on GMA Former UCSB student Josh Elliott is reportedly in tense negotiations with ABC about upping his salary as an anchor on Good Morning America, I hear. Josh, who used to be the sports editor on the university newspaper, the Daily Nexus, supposedly wants to match the $14 million salary of fellow host, Robin Roberts, who just closed a long-term contract with the network.
Jared Leto admits getting gout working on his Mark Chapman role (photo by Priscilla)
Josh Elliott looking for a salary increase at ABC
His agents, who have also talked to NBC News,have now upped their demand for an equally significant bump in salary, according to sources. Josh started as a news anchor, but his role has increased significantly and he is an integral part of the success of the show. He is not asking for as much money as Robin, but an equivalent raise. Josh joined the show in April 2011, and a year later GMA broke the NBC Today Shows 16-year winning streak. Says an ABC rep: We are in negotiations with Josh. It is no surprise that there is a lot of interest from other networks. He is an important part of the GMA family, and we want him to stay part of the family. Stay tuned... Letos Losing It Actor Jared Leto, who received a Virtuosos Award at the SBIFF last week, seemingly will do anything for his art. He admits he didnt have an easy ride putting on 67 pounds for his role of Mark Chapman, the deranged fan who assassinated John Lennon, in the 2007 film biopic Chapter 27. I ended up having gout, says Jared, 42. Not only that, but my cholesterol went up so fast in such a short time that my doctors wanted to put me on Lipitor, which is for much, much older people. Again, though, a fascinating journey. I had some reservations because I love everything John ever did. But in 13 20 February 2014
the end, I wanted to explore a specimen embodying the total failure of humanity, just walk down this brutal path again. However, the 30 Seconds to Mars singer who has been nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance in Dallas Buyers Club didnt have much trouble trying to shift the extra pounds. His active lifestyle with his rock band helped him shrink back to his previous weight. I lost a lot of it by going on tour, not straight away, but I was still kinda waddling around on stage for the first few dates, and eventually it came back off, thank God. Jared has since vowed never to pile on the pounds again, as he doesnt want to put his health at risk... Movin On Up

Pulitzer Prize-winner David Lindsay-Abaires Tony-nominated play, directed by Jenny Sullivan, is a darkly funny and profoundly touching story about class and culture, taking place in two distinct Boston neighborhoods, the working class Southie and upscale Chestnut Hill. Feisty Margie Walsh, played wonderfully well by Alicia Sedwick, has lost her job at a local bargain store and is just a bingo game away from being evicted from her home, but Mike, played by Geoffrey Lowe, who has managed to escape his blue collar background to become a successful doctor, could be her ticket out. Rounding off the wonderful cast are Margies bingo-playing neighborhood friends played by veteran actress

Math Bowl contestants scramble for an answer
Math Bowl Goes Cubicle
La Caada and San Marcos high schools were the overall winners in an annual battle of math brains. About a hundred students and teachers from 11 Southern California schools come to Westmont Feb. 8 for the High School Mathematics Contest. Students also ventured from Bishop Diego, Cate, Crescenta Valley, Dos Pueblos, Dunn School, Family Schools, Oaks Christian, Santa Barbara, and Thacher.
Teamwork was the key to the Math Bowl
Fresh Local Cuisine
Jonny Weger of Santa Barbara High School won the Chalk Talk Derby. He best explained the topic cubics, chosen in honor of the contests 27th year and because 27 is a perfect cube. La Caada (grades 9-10) and San Marcos (grades 11-12) were victorious in the College Bowl, a fast-paced team competition with buzzers. Dos Pueblos didnt leave empty-handed, winning the Written Exam for grades 11-12.
The Westmont College Orchestra performs at several Southern California cities on its way to San Diego Feb. 15-18. This years annual spring tour includes stops in Yucaipa, Spring Valley, San Diego, and Westminster. Admission is free to all performances, though a goodwill offering will be taken. The 58-member orchestra, under the direction of Michael Shasberger, and six members of the Westmont Chapel Band will perform Rimsky Korsakoff s Russian Easter Overture, Alphons Diepenbrocks hymn Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, Tchaikovskys Serenade for Strings and Gabriel Faures Masques et Bergamasques. The orchestras annual tour is a highlight of the season for the musicians and a tremendous outreach for Westmont, Shasberger says. It brings Westmonts story to a wide-ranging and diverse audience and heightens the performance skills and experiences of our students. The musicians, who stay in church family homes, will perform in a workshop at Disneyland on Monday, February 17, and the following day at Beckman High School in Irvine for an orchestra clinic. MJ

Bacaras elegant nightclub-ballroom that featured Patti LaBelle on Friday night had been transformed into an ethereal chapel by Saturday morning
I am honored to be here, honored to know you, BeBe said, looking down at Bob and Marlene who were sitting front and center. I thank you for your heart, and I thank you for your [friendship]. Then, BeBe sang Oh, Happy Birthday to You to both Bob and Oprah, also sitting in the front row nearby, and who turned 60 the week before, on January 29. When the show was over, it was time for brunch and the crowd headed up two flights to enjoy an elaborate spread. Oprah stayed on the patio afterward, schmoozing with the crowd and joking and conversing with BeBe and Bob and Marlene and was among the last to leave. The two performances, the night before with Patti LaBelle and this days with BeBe Winans, are sure to be fondly remembered as among the
most enjoyable weekend events ever. It should be noted that the Bacara staff performed admirably. Omelet stations (featuring black and white truffles) were set up at both ends of the eating area; croissants, muffins, bagels, butter, jam, and marmalade were readily available in various stations, service was quick and efficient. And upon leaving, the valets worked at warp speed. No one had to wait more than a minute or two for their vehicle. All in all, it was a flawless and unforgettable forty-eight hours. Thank you, Bob. Thank you, Marlene. And thank you, Oprah!
(from left) Now a Senior Producer for CNN, Paul Vercammen son of Olive Mill Bistro co-founder Paul Vercammen, made a surprise appearance at Rodneys Steakhouse for the occasion; co-founder Gil Rosas played about 40 of the 800 songs he knows by heart, Mignonne Profant offered up La Vie En Rose and a half-dozen other French songs, and Pauls sister Eleanor Vercammen, who waited tables at the Olive Mill Bistro, gather at the piano just as the Bistros customers would have in the good old days
Return of the Olive Mill Bistro
Gil Rosas was back at the piano, where he spent nearly twelve glorious years heading up the musi-
cal entertainment at Montecitos Olive Mill Bistro, the nightspot that lit up Coast Village Road through the decade of the 1970s. Mignonne Profant joined Gil for a medley of French songs for a time and the indefatigable Gil played for two hours straight as some fifty participants enjoyed the re-creation of a bygone era at Rodneys Steakhouse in Fess Parkers DoubleTree Resort. There was a surprise appearance by Paul Vercammen, whose father, along with Gil Rosas and Otto Berger, was co-owner of the original Olive Mill Bistro. My dad started in the laundry room and as a bus boy at the Biltmore, and my mom was a coat-check girl at the Coral Casino, Paul says during a short conversation at the end of the nights festivities. They had all worked together at the Somerset (now, Montecito Bank & Trust on Coast Village Road). We had moved into the Santa Ynez Valley, and my dad was working at the Alisal Ranch, but hed kept in touch with Gil and Otto, Paul relates,
and somehow they got the idea of pooling their resources and opening their own place. This was the late 1960s, maybe 1969. They didnt have any money for advertising, but they bought some used furniture, and moved Gils piano in as a centerpiece. Vercammen speculates that Michael Towbes, who had just founded the Bank of Montecito, helped the trio get started because he trusted the three amigos, or I should say four amigos, because my mother, Virginia, was a big part of it as well. She was the hostess and the de facto bouncer. They wanted a place where people could feel comfortable and that dress code no T-shirts, no tank tops, no shorts, and no flip-flops allowed probably made it so they really didnt need a bouncer. When people dressed up, they behaved. There were some [sketchy] moments Paul recounts: the legendary bounty hunter, Bob Burton, I know, got thrown out after his unruly date broke a stained-glass

Mad about Paul: Reiser Returns to Stand-up
aul Reiser started off our phone interview by making the correspondent promise to help sell out the theater for his upcoming return to stand-up comedy. More than once. The problem is, hes well aware how difficult it can be to get people in his age group out of the house, especially those who dont know he was actually a very popular live performer before co-creating and starring in the hit 1990s relationship-based sitcom Mad About You, which earned multiple Emmy, Golden Globe, American Comedy Award and Screen Actors Guild nominations if not always the highest ratings. But that was a generation ago. And he hasnt stepped foot in town to do comedy since, well, ever, though we did hear him play keyboards behind singer Julia Fordham at SOhO a couple of years back. Thats where we began our conversation. Q. How was it to get your musical side out into public like that? A. You know, a friend came to one of the shows and said, You never looked so happy. Really, I never had so much fun on stage. I think it was because I didnt have to talk. I had never thought about doing anything like that. It was a happy accident that we started writing together, and after that she said lets just do some shows for giggles. In my head I thought I would talk more, but I ended up just playing piano and trying not to screw it up. That took no small amount of effort. Id never considered combining music and comedy, and that was the closest Ive come. But since the songs were melancholy and emotional, it was about as far from stand-up as you can get. So here you are, back doing stand-up again after 20 years away from the stage. I know, it sounds absurd. There are comics out there who are actually 20, so Ive been away for an entire life!... Id never really buried the idea of doing stand-up again, but I put it on the back burner when I was writing Mad About You and it took all my focus for eight years. A lot of guys (with TV shows) would perform during the summer, but I couldnt get my head around that. I needed a break; the last thing I wanted to do was work on my act. So it never dawned on me to go out and do real shows just a couple of guest shots at benefits where Id do a couple of jokes and then bring out the mayor. But a couple of years ago, 13 20 February 2014

connection now. Theyve been on the same journey with me, even if weve never met. In a way its easier, too, because you know who you are a bit more. Its been fun and more pleasant than I would have expected. Has the creative process changed in light of all the writing you did for TV and film and books since you last did standup? I think Im a better editor. I can look at something and say, I need to shape it better before it even hits the stage. What was refreshing and nice to see was when I got back into it, the art hadnt changed at all. The skill hadnt changed. The world has, technology has, but this is an art thats tech-proof. There is no shortcut. Maybe now you write with a computer instead of a pencil. But the only way to do stand up is to get in front of people and tell it, and do it again and again. You cant speed it up or turbo-charge it. You cant accelerate the process. Thats just how it works. So were not going to see The comedy and musical stylings of Paul Reiser? (Laughs). No. Those two things dont really mesh in my world. Im just out on the road doing stand up... Uh, wait, that sounds so rugged. Actually, its every other weekend I go somewhere for a night or two. Its
not exactly Willie Loman. Can you give any tips or hints for people who havent read your books? Theyre all written so beautifully and artfully that to condense them to one sentence would not be doing justice. Which means I have no idea... But these books arent big anyway when youre done reading it, you can put it on coffee table and use it as a coaster. Your mug is safely balanced. No toppling. Im not James Michener.

I did a gig and it was so much fun. I realized, Wow! I really love that. Id forgotten. Its like not eating for a year, and you get a BLT and youre like, Oh yeah, food is good. Whats it been like to develop new material? I did start from scratch because I didnt want to dig up my old act. I just sat down exactly as I did in the beginning and wrote out some stuff. Then I went to a club at Hermosa, did 10 minutes, then 15, building up. It took a year to get the muscle back. It really atrophies. Its like sports: if you dont play basketball for a year, you can dribble and hit the basket, but it aint pretty. Your synapses arent firing. But there is a through line. Mad About You grew out of stand-up, which was just talking about my girlfriend at the time. Then we were newlyweds. The relationship, thats the focus Im naturally drawn to. But there was no real premise other than a show that looks at relationship. Which is an organic, infinite pool of material. The books grew out of that, too. If you enjoyed any of my stuff, you wont come see me and say, Wow, I did not expect that! Its the same vantage point. But its 25 years later. The perspective at 50 is different, but its the same. If youre coming to see me, its because you enjoyed something I did before. The difference is that theres a

This was the moment of truth when Mary-Grace Langhorne was announced winner of this years Teen Star 2014 competition; all the performers can be seen locally once more when they open for Foreigner at Santa Barbara Bowl on Sunday July 27. Tickets are on sale now
er-songwriter Randy Spendlove offered solid advice and reaffirming support for each contestant, along with trenchant observations. It was a sold-out house at the Granada on Saturday, February 8, and the success of this American Idollike production must be credited to the professionalism of all involved, especially host JJ Lambert and event founder Joe Lambert. Before being voted winner, perhaps a telling moment was when Catherine Remak noted that Mary Graces number was the most brilliant moment in Teen Star history. Ms Kurtzman may have given away her favorite when she quipped to Dylan Ortega: Hey there, cowboy. You know what?

There were just three tables A, B, and C upon which one could eat in the bar. The evening was put together by Marie and Mignonne Profant as a fundraiser for the John E. Profant Foundation For The Arts. During the event, MJ columnist Jim Alexander was awarded a scholarship to this year s Santa Barbara Writers Conference, and Joyce Shaar was presented with a scholarship to help her publish a book shed been working on. 13 20 February 2014

Marimba magic Just three musicians comprise the full roster for todays Camerata Pacifica concerts, but with an impressive program and interesting pairings, nobody is likely to feel shortchanged. Marimba virtuoso Ji Hye Jung , the ensembles principal percussionist, kicks things off with her arrangement of Bachs Violin Sonata No. 1 in G Minor, BWV 1001, featuring four-mallet dexterity as well as musicianship. Fluting/founder Adrian Spence and pianist Adam Neiman then perform Bohuslav Martins Sonata for Flute & Piano, considered one of the major works of the flute repertoire. Next, Nieman plays four Chopin pieces sandwiching intermission: Ballade No. 2 in F Major, Op. 38, and Nocturne in D-Flat Major, Op. 27, No. 2, before the break, with Waltz No. 7 in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 64, No. 2, and Nocturne in F-Sharp Major, Op. 15, No. 2, welcoming the audience back. Spence and Jung then team up for New Zealand composer Gareth Farrs Kembang Suling: Three Musical Snapshots of Asia, inspired by Balinese, Japanese and South Indian musics, before the percussionist closes the concert with fellow New Zealander John Psathas One Study, scored for marimba and electronic track.

Mouse trip There were a lot of voices behind the 1999 lm version of Stuart Little back in 1999, when M. Night Shyamalan and Greg Brooker wrote the screenplay with some doctoring from David O. Russell and Billy Ray and came up with a combination of live-action and computer animation, in the process creating a threemovie franchise. The version youll see on stage out at UCSB this afternoon hews a lot closer to the charming novel by E. B. White, who also penned Charlottes Web and the still-in-vogue Elements of Style. Dallas Childrens Theater named one of the top ve childrens theater companies in the U.S. by Time magazine is adapted for the stage by Joseph Robinette. The hour-long production tells the surprising story of a most unusual mouse who just happens to be born into an ordinary, human family in New York City. Stuarts misadventures as he learns how to survive in a super-sized world of humans and discovers valuable lessons about the meaning of family, loyalty and friendship will tickle the funny bone and warm the heart. As with all Family Fun series events, a free pre-party for the kids features balloons, face painting, and craft-making.

Art in a gallery What a concept! Except this Art is actually a play, and the gallery is as much as gathering place as a space for exhibitions. Yasmina Reza, whose 2009 Tony-winning drama God of Carnage was recently produced at the Center Stage, also took home theaters top prize in 1998 for Art, a comedy about the art world and three friends whose longstanding relationships are put to the test when one spends an enormous sum to buy a painting that is basically an empty canvas. The purchase serves as a catalyst to create a struggle for power, respect, and a stability delivered with wit, irreverence, and a little bit of heart. SBCC

Valentine Delight It was just four years ago that Chinese piano sensation Lang Lang played two concertos with the Santa Barbara Symphony, raising the prole of the local ensemble. But that was a special pre-concert benet that also served as a warm-up for Lang Langs upcoming tour. With this weekends pair of concerts during the regular season with pianist Hlne Grimaud, who last played in town just a little more than two years ago in a mightily impressive recital for CAMA, the symphony steps it up another notch. Grimaud, who has performed with more than 100 of the worlds great orchestras, will play Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1 on a program that also includes Ravels Daphnis and Chloe, selections from Tchaikovskys Romeo and Juliet, and Elgars Salut DAmor all popular romantic pieces that are perfect for Valentines Day weekend.

Jazz @ the Lobero The ongoing series gets a late start this season due to the recent renovations at the theater, but what a way to begin! Drummer Jack DeJohnette, saxist Joe Lovano, bassist Esperanza Spalding, and pianist Leo Genovese comprise one of the most impressive quartets ever to play at the venue in its 70-year-history of jazz concerts,and one that includes representatives of several generations of the genre. The 71-year-old DeJohnette has been a brilliantly innovative bandleader after a legendary career as a sideman for such greats as Freddie Hubbard, Keith Jarrett, Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Joe Henderson, and John Scoeld. Grammywinner Lovano, 61, has more than three-dozen albums under his belt as a bandleader, and a slew of rave reviews. The astounding, culture-crossing Spalding made Grammy history when she became the rst jazz musician to win Best New Artist in 2011 when she was just 26, while Argentinean pianist Genovese, 31, has a long (relatively speaking) association with Spalding as a member of her Chamber Music Society and Radio Music Society. Also coming to Jazz @ the Lobero during this truncated but power-packed season: genius guitarist Pat Methenys Unity Group (February 26), Montecito sax master Charles Lloyds trio Sangam featuring two percussionists (March 8), Newport Jazz Festivals 60th anniversary tour (March 14), singer Regina Carters Southern Comfort (April 22), veteran saxist Branford Marsalis (May 7), and Bill Frisells John Lennon tribute (16).

returns to UCSB to perform Happily Ever Laughter. The evening features sketches, songs and improvisation, with scenes ripped from the morning headlines as well as classic material from the troupes archives. The SB show features BlueCo, one of four Second City touring companies, with Scott Morehead, Adam Peacock, Asher Perlman, Liz Reuss, Marlena Rodriguez and Sarah Shook scheduled to perform. Showtime at Campbell Hall is 8 pm Wednesday, tickets cost $25-$40. Call 893-3535 or visit www.ArtsAndLectures.UCSB. edu/ Up at the Chumash Casino, an impressive lineup of comedians commences with Gary Mule Deer, the veteran country comic who opens for crooner Johnny Mathis on Friday. Original insult comic Don Rickles, still threatening to knock your block off at 87, hits the showroom on March 13, with the ventriloquist and standup Jeff Dunham due March 27. Next up in the Comedy Nights series at Granada Books: Fred Stoller, who has appeared on a slew of sitcoms from Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends and Murphy Brown to Scrubs and Hannah Montana but never scored a full-time gig, though he also wrote two episodes of Seinfeld as a staff writer for a year. Stoller tells stories from his new book, Maybe Well
Have You Back: The Life of a Perennial TV Guest Star, at the bookstore on March 5. Annabelle Gurwitch is set for April 2. Meanwhile, the location-challenged Comedy Hideaway, which has closed more downtown clubs than the Alcoholic Beverage Commission, has returned to lower State Street, with weekly shows at Alero, the new restaurant at its old spot at 523 State Street. Comedy Central vet Tony Baker headlines for Valentines Day this Friday night, with shows at 7:30 and 10 pm.
No Messin Around for Messina
When Jim Messina shares a bill Friday night with former Poco bandmate Richie Furay in an Encore: Lobero concert that celebrates and completes the fundraising for the recent renovation at the theater, it will be what has become an increasingly rare chance to take a trip down memory lane. In fact, Google the guy who once sold millions of records in the 1970s with Loggins & Messina as well as earlier helping to usher in folkrock as a viable genre as a member and producer/engineer with Buffalo Springfield and Poco (and later Souther-Hillman-Furay) and youre
three times as likely to see links to the Obama staffer who shares his name. Yeah, well, he gets the attention these days, Messina said with barely a laugh over the phone. It hasnt been really busy for me recently. The dates arent out there as much. Messina is quite happy with his family home life in the Santa Ynez Valley, where he moved in 1998 after 21 years in Montecito (and four in Ojai, during the middle of the Loggins & Messina days) to recapture the rural environs he grew up around. He has few regrets, if any, even if his name doesnt carry the fame of his former partner (and fellow ex-Montecitan) Loggins. Im very proud of my career, and his, too, even though I had nothing to do subsequent to Loggins & Messina, because I helped give him the tools to take the next step, Messina said. For me, it would have been nice to have more success as a solo artist. But I was so burned out from all of it, my insides eaten up from the stress. Im much more satisfied that I was able to have a son and daughter and have a normal life with them. I enjoy myself now in my middle 60s with my health intact. I dont know that Id want to be beating the road at this time. So when I do get a stray date, its a lot of fun. As it will likely be for his fans when Messina performs with his
crack band featuring veteran sax, violin, bass and drum associates playing the hits (Kind Woman, Vahevala, Nobody But You, and Peace of Mind among them) and shouldhave-beens, after Furay does a set of his own. The two plan to collaborate on at least a couple of the songs they have in common. I heard him at the Maverick Saloon here in 2012 and he sounded great, but I had to leave early to go pick up my daughter, Messina recalled. So Im looking forward to see his new set in its entirety. (Jim Messina and Richie Furay perform 8 pm Friday at the Lobero. Tickets cost $50-$60. Info at 963-0761 or www.lobero. com.)
SBIFF in Review
Best fest ever? Im not sure what that means, and comparisons of that sort of almost as silly as the ones Academy Award voters have to make to choose Oscar winners from among the often equally deserving nominees. But whatever the angle of approach, SBIFF 2014 was wildly successful. If stars are your thing, we heard from just shy of 30 Oscar nominees covering every major category and including at least eight who are very likely to walk away with a golden

statuette come March 2. (More on that in our annual Oscar-SBIFF quips and quotes piece just before the Academy Awards.) Meanwhile, the two big tributees who werent nominated Oprah and Robert Redford delivered the most inspiring and informative evenings in recent memory. The foreign film fare was fantastic, featuring a revived and revved up Eastern European section and further enhanced by visits from a slew of filmmakers far outstripping previous post-screening Q&A sessions (kudos to the production crew for keeping things running smoothly). Having so many filmmakers in town greatly enhanced the schmooze-factor at the Lobero lounge at night, creating connections and friendships that will last long beyond closing night. As usual, the Social Justice entries and other docs were revelatory and moving, and To The Maxx drew its usual contingent of surfers to State Street. Even the local slate was loaded with winners, including the Montecitoconnected Lutah, which pulled in more than 1,700 viewers over three sold-out screenings. Sold out was the operative phrase of the fest, in fact, with even early morning screenings and late night showings drawing huge crowds. Montecito, of course, was also all over the spotlight when Oprah was honored for her body of work the phrase became a running punch line during the tribute at the Arlington.
Ive been shouting out (about Montecito) all night! Winfrey said when I identified myself as representing her hometown paper. There is no better place to be or live than this community. These are my peeps OK? So to be honored by them is fantastic! (Earlier shed told another reporter that her upcoming birthday just weeks away was more than welcome. Whats great about 60 is that you are through with the BS, baby! You are chilled. Youve got nothing to prove. You are just who you want to be, inside and out.) That might be SBIFFs new motto, too.
cific investigation but also by examining fundamentalism, how people with different religions go to such extremes. How can you believe in something bigger than yourself but not care about fellow humans? Im reminded of Paradise Now, the Palestinian film from several years ago that showed the human side of a suicide bomber. That film really opened my eyes to other side of the story. That was one of our big influences. We wanted to balance the two sides and not take a stand. Circumstances make people think they dont have choices. And the wounds havent all healed yet. So what do you want audiences to take away? How do we solve these seemingly intractable problems? Its very difficult. Maybe we can make a tiny impact. When you live in fear, you can still think about tolerance and walking in the shoes of those on the other side. In order to reach the peace, you have to show the war first. So thats why its about conflict and intensity, but ultimately about tolerance. How do you feel about winning the award? It was terribly exciting. We just wanted to jump around when we heard. We made this film to bring a message of tolerance and peace more than for entertainment. This opens the doors for the film to be seen in more places and by many more people. MJ

Most of the award-winning films plus a few of the audience favorites get additional screenings in SBIFFs special 3rd Weekend offering at the Riviera. Admission is free on a firstcome, first-served basis. Friday: Noble, BFFs. Saturday: Lutah, Bauyr (Little Brother), Queens & Cowboys: A Straight Year on The Gay Rodeo, Gods Slave, 1982.

activating a sleeper cell set in the tense period after the 1994 AMIA bombing in that country. We caught up with Gods Slave director Joel Novoa after the awards were announced last Sunday. Q. Why arent Americans more aware of this story? A. Theres a tendency to forget about the past. And nobody was ever convicted or punished for what happened. But its still alive in our country. Our film was termed propaganda and we were forced to show it with a pro-Islamic short before it screened... What we tried to do with the movie is raise the voice; if you dont learn from the past, it just gets repeated. Why made it as a fiction film rather than a doc? Is it like Captain Phillips? Its in that style. We even used some documentary footage in the film. But I wasnt motivated only by this spe-
