Cottage Hospital Reborn
C
ottage Hospital its a great place
to visit but I hope I never have
to stay there. On February 12,
the new $725 million Cottage Hospital
will open its doors to patients and to the
physicians and surgeons serving the
people of Montecito and the tri-County
area. The new hospital will unveil a
new standard of clinical excellence and
compassionate care. It will also aid our
community in attracting better doctors,
enticed by a state-of-the-art acute care
hospital.
I recently had the pleasure of going on
a pre-opening tour of the new Cottage
Hospital by its President and CEO
Ron Werft, who also chairs the Board
of the California Hospital Association.
We were accompanied by Gretchen
Milligan, Chair of the Board for the
not-for-profit Cottage Health System.
Their leadership team is proof positive
that excellence is never an accident; it
is always the result of intelligent effort
and hard work.
The original Cottage Hospital was founded in 1888, when 50 Santa Barbara
women agreed that the community needed a hospital. In 1913, Cottage expand-
ed to 35 beds. Today, Cottage Hospital offers 337 spacious rooms, all single
occupancy with computerized beds that weigh the patient, translate conversa-
tions into 31 languages and contain computer controls to access 40 flat-screen
TVs. Another added value-added amenity is room service, where patients
can order meals from a menu when they are hungry, reducing food waste.
Today, Cottage Hospital admits more than 18,000 patients, services an addi-
tional 41,000 in its emergency room and delivers more than 2,400 new babies
each year. It is renowned for its Neuroscience Institute, its Level II trauma cen-
ter, its Center for Advanced Imaging, its Childrens Hospital, its Rehabilitation
Hospital and its MacDougall Eye Center. The addition of three new patient
pavilions, including one named in honor of Leslie Ridley-Tree, adds 370,000-sq-
ft to the existing hospital footprint of 480,000-sq-ft.
Operating Suites. Twelve spacious state-of-the-art operating suites are
bathed in green light for easier reading of diagnostic and imaging monitors,
while sterilized surgical instruments are whisked to the operating rooms from
germ-free rooms on the floor below. Minimally invasive and robotic surgical

Julia and Brads New Venture
Monte ito
Miscellany
by Richard Mineards
Richard covered the Royal Family for Britains Daily Mirror and Daily Mail before moving to New York
to write for Rupert Murdochs newly launched Star magazine in 1978; Richard later wrote for New York
magazines Intelligencer. He continues to make regular appearances on CBS, ABC, and CNN, and
moved to Montecito four years ago.
M
ontecito actress Julia Louis-
Dreyfus new flm, Picture
Paris, which she co-produced
with her director husband, Brad Hall,
has whet her appetite for more joint
works.
It was really great fun, Julia, 51,
tells me. Brad wrote an incredibly
enticing script.
It was a ton of work, but it was nice
to be utterly in control.
It no doubt helped that Julias father
was a French attorney and the couple
have visited the City of Light innu-
merable times over the years.
The half-hour short, about a subur-
ban mother planning a life changing
trip to the French capital after suffer-
ing empty nest syndrome when her
son leaves for college, took just eight
days to shoot.
We had a great French crew and
shot all over the place, including the
Louvre and near Notre Dame. It was
really dipping our toes in the waters,
or the Seine, in this case.
The project, which just premiered at
the Santa Barbara International Film
Festival, has encouraged the tony two-
some to do more co-productions and
Brad is working on another script for
just that.

I always believe a director should
always be sleeping with the leading
actress because then, when you have
a good idea in the middle of the night,
you can wake her up and tell her right
there in bed before you forget it!
jokes Brad, 53, who has been married
to Julia for 25 years after they both
worked on the long-running NBC
show, Saturday Night Live.
Julia, who has had tremendous TV
success with shows like Seinfeld and
The New Adventures of Old Christine,
launches her new HBO comedy series
Veep, written by award-winning
Scottish writer Armando Iannucci,
about a female vice president, in April.
A most busy lady...
Tipper Hits the Town
Despite having lived in our rarefied
enclave for nearly two years, sightings
of Tipper Gore, ex-wife of former vice
president Al Gore, like the Scarlet
Pimpernel, are few and far between.
But Tipper, who moved into a six-
bedroom, 6,500-sq-ft $8.7 million
manse, just a tiaras toss or two from
the San Ysidro Ranch, as I exclusively
revealed in this illustrious organ, was
front and center at A Filmanthropic
Event for the Casa Esperanza
Homeless Center and Community
Kitchen at the new Greek nosheteria,
Petros, which coincided with the 27th
annual film fests first night, just across
the road at the
Arlington, with
Diane Keaton and
Kevin Kline, the
co-stars of Darling
Companion.
It was so nice
of her to turn
up for us, says
Mike Foley, the
charitys execu-
tive director, who also welcomed
fest director, Roger Durling, mayor
Helene Schneider, and Jelinda and
Barry DeVorzon, a former Oscar nom-
inee himself.
The 200 guests helped raise around
$25,000 for the center, which serves
175,000 hungry and homeless annu-
ally.
As for the charming and bubbly
Tipper, she says she loves reading
Montecito Miscellany.
Clearly a woman of impeccable
taste!...
Vocal Steps
It wont win an award, but the
Ensemble Theatre Company has
called on my vocal prowess again for
its production of the Tony-winning
Broadway comedy The 39 Steps,
which opens at the Alhecama Theatre

The best little paper in America
(Covering the best little community anywhere!)
Y
our answer to Donna Handys
letter (Let Them Die? MJ #
18/4) shows some ignorance
of how Americas healthcare system
doesnt work. Whether you like it or
not, you and the rest of the insured
people in this country are paying
the healthcare costs of over 55
million uninsured and their families.
Seventy thousand people in Santa
Barbara County alone are on Medicaid.
Most conservatives dont like
Obamacare as they call it because it
mandates the uninsured to get health
insurance. I guess they would rather
keep carrying the uninsured on their
backs. The rest of us pay for all of it
(your free market at work).
Our healthcare system is one of the
worst in the industrialized world and
that includes high infant mortality,
and yet we spend more per capita on
it than any country in the entire world!
The only health service that we are the
best in the world in is rescue care,
thanks to what we have learned in
our continuing insane wars. If you get
to a trauma center with the worst of
the worst medical problem, chances
are better in the U.S. than in any
other country that they will pull you
through.
The for-profit health insurance
business is the enemy of all sick
Americans. Germany has one of the
finest healthcare systems in the entire
world with for-profit docs and hospi-
tals, but their health insurance com-
panies are non-profit. We are the only
industrialized country in the world
where if you lose a job that gives
you health insurance, you also lose
your health insurance and have to
go to COBRA (Editors note: so-named
via the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act), which is unafford-
able for most working people, let
alone those that are jobless. COBRA is
aptly named. It is truly a snake.
In Japan, people carry a credit-card-
sized health card that any doctor in
any city in Japan can stick into a
computer and get your entire health
record, even when you are in another
city.
Health insurance in all other indus-
trialized countries is government-
mandated, affordable, and in most
cases, people in those countries are
healthier and live longer than we do.
Look at the numbers.
My wife was treated in Austria
some years ago for a broken nose after
a fall. The ambulance that carried us
was much more comfortable and bet-
ter than the trucks we have here. The
hospital service was excellent and the
cost was minimal. An ambulance from
where I live off Alston to Cottage is
over $1,500! The ambulances are hor-
rible.
The healthcare system is no more
free market as you claim it is than
the rest of the businesses in this coun-
try. If you really believe that we live
in a free market country, then you
are not as knowledgeable as I know
you to be.
I will be happy to debate the free
market issue with you anytime and
anywhere!
Regards,
Ernest Salomon
Montecito
(Editors note: Thank you for your
note, Ernie, but it baffles me that folks
as perceptive as you put words in my
mouth that I never uttered or in this
case, wrote. You write that The health-
care system is no more free market as
you claim it is than the rest of the busi-
nesses in this country. Please find in my
response where I claim that. I dont. I
merely state that a free-market solution
would be preferable to what is about to be
implemented. As for the rest of it, that we
apparently dont live in a free market
country, well, you are probably correct
at this point, as all these mandates, regu-
lations, stipulations, requirements and
other burdens placed upon small busi-
nesses make it impossible to operate freely.
A situation that I believe is detrimental to
the future of our country. J.B.)
TimberSIL Talk
I came across Steve Schechters
letter (Railroad Blues MJ # 18/3),
regarding toxic railroad ties. This let-
ter is to suggest an alternative: ties
made from TimberSIL, a remarkable
glass-wood fusion product invented
by an environmental toxicologist
who became very concerned about
the negative health effects that toxic
chemical exposure was having on
human health.
TimberSIL provides a protective
barrier rather than relying on poisons
to kill insects and prevent rot or decay.
TimberSIL is great for whole-house

Write Bigger Checks
Has it escaped your notice, that of
all the high-profile politicians, celeb-
rities, and wealthy business persons
who proudly proclaim they should be
paying more in federal income taxes,
that absolutely none of them actually
do pay more in income taxes?
Not Obama, not Biden, not Pelosi,
not Sean Penn, not Matt Damon, not
Jane Fonda, not Warren Buffet, not
Bill Gates, and not Mark Cuban.
Dont you think that if any of these
distinguished folks had paid more
in income taxes, that we would have
heard about it?
My suggestion to these and other
conscience-stricken, loftier-than-thou
individuals is, that if you truly believe
you should be paying more in income
taxes, write a bigger check. Otherwise,
shut up! Youre blowing it for the rest
of us who believe the federal govern-
ment has an unequal, unbalanced,
unmitigated, unrestrained, and unre-
lenting approach to squandering our
money.

Montecito
(Editors note: You are right on the
money. Obama and his spin meisters have
won this round, as nearly everyone is talk-
ing about the rich paying more and virtu-
ally no one is zeroing in on the out-of-
control governmental spending that con-
tinues unabated. The President has pulled
off the ultimate magic trick: Concentrate
on my right hand and pay no attention to
what my left hand is doing. J.B.)

this is his first year directing, as it is

taking their second turn as directors.
Weve all been around for the whole

Norovirus Outbreak in Montecito
Village Beat
by Kelly Mahan

M
ontecitos retirement
community, Casa Dorinda,
is back to normal operations
this week after the 289-resident
facility was hit with an outbreak of
the Norovirus last week, according to
Casas Associate Director for Health
Services, Vicky MacGregor.
The first case was reported in Casa
Dorindas nursing facility, to which
staff immediately quarantined the
medical center, MacGregor said.
Thirteen cases were ultimately report-
ed at the nursing facility, with nine
additional cases being reported in the
independent living section of Casa
Dorinda. We assume a visitor to the
nursing facility brought the virus in,
MacGregor said. After we realized
what it was, it was a fast and furious
containment.
Norovirus is strain of viruses that
cause gastrointestinal sickness includ-
ing diarrhea, stomach pain and vom-
iting. It is spread human to human
through contaminated food or water,
or by touching contaminated surfaces,
according to the Center for Disease
Control website. MacGregor explained
the virus is common in areas where
people are in close contact for long
periods of time, such as a cruise ship.
Casa Dorinda staff has alerted
Santa Barbara County Public Health
Department, as well as the Health
Department in Oxnard, of the out-
break. MacGregor said several schools
in the Santa Barbara area have had
outbreaks as well.
Casa Dorindas activity programs
are now up-and-running as usual; the
fitness classes and group activities
were canceled all last week and on
Monday, January 30. As of Tuesday,
January 31, those activities have
resumed after a four- day period of
no illness complaints. We are being
vigilant about spreading this virus,
MacGregor said.
The CDC recommends practicing
proper hand washing techniques and
disinfecting surfaces to help prevent
catching Norovirus. Those who have
been infected should avoid prepar-
ing food for others while they have
symptoms, as well as for three days
after. Clothing of infected individu-
als should be washed thoroughly. For
more information visit www.cdc.gov.
New MPC Officers
At the first hearing of the new year,
Montecito Planning Commission met
last Wednesday, January 25, to elect a
new chair, vice chair and second vice
chair. Sue Burrows, who has been
on the commission since 2007, was
elected as chair, while Dan Eidelson
and Claire Gottsdanker were elected
as first and second vice chairs, respec-
tively.
Our goal, as always, is to enhance
and maintain the semi-rural nature
of Montecito, Burrows told us at an
interview earlier this week. We sat
down with both Burrows and Eidelson
to discuss the role Montecito Planning
Commission holds in Montecito land
use and planning.
MPC was first established in 2001,
ten years after an attempt to incor-
porate Montecito as its own city. At
that time, Montecito land use issues
were heard by the Santa Barbara
County Planning Commission. Bob
Meghreblian and other Montecito
residents formed a group to look into
forming a separate planning commis-
sion and architectural review board
solely for Montecito. After consulting
with then First District Supervisor
Naomi Schwartz and her staff, the
Board of Supervisors granted approval
for a Montecito Planning Commission
and Montecito Board of Architectural
Review for a two-year trial period.
Since then MPC and MBAR have
helped shape the village feel of
Montecito, ensuring projects and
builders adhere to the Montecito
Community Plan, says Eidelson. He
explained that the establishment of
MPC ensures that Montecito projects
are looked at by a group of Montecito-
minded people, who understand and
implement the Community Plan.
All of the commissioners are keenly
aware of what goes on in our com-
munity, Eidelson said. He added that
the Montecito Planning Commission
allows for a community forum as well
as an opportunity for vigilance in
keeping Montecito semi-rural.
Burrows, who is only the second
female chair Joan Wells was the
first when the MPC was established
has held several positions in the
County, including first vice president
of the Montecito Association, presi-
dent of the Womens League of Voters,
vice president of Citizens Planning
Association, and co-president of
Wildlife Care Network. She has lived
in Montecito since 1970; her children
attended local schools.
Eidelson, a former MA president,
has lived in Montecito the past 26
years, and was part of the original
group of people who helped establish
the MPC. He has also held several local
positions, including president of the
Montecito Community Foundation,
president of the Sanitary District,

and board member of Montecito Fire
Protection District.
Montecito Planning Commission is
expected to revisit several key plan-
ning issues in the next couple of
months, including Montecitos sign
ordinance and a possible extension of
the permits for the Miramar project.
Other commissioners include Michael
Phillips, who has sat on the board
since its inception, and Jack Overall,
last years chair.
Burrows and Eidelson agree that
the MPC would not be as success-
ful as it has been if not for the work
of the Montecito Association, as
well as input from the public. We
encourage citizens to come out and
comment at our hearings. That way
we are not working in a vacuum,
Burrows said. The duo agrees that
while MPC takes MAs comments
and input into account, the Montecito
Planning Commission is not an exten-
sion of the Montecito Association. The
Association acts as an advocacy group,
while MPC is a decision-making body.
While we always consider what they
say, we must be a separate body and
consider all feedback. She adds, We
do have the same interests at heart.
Both groups are formed by unpaid
volunteers.
In addition to planning and land
use, Montecito Planning Commission
has jurisdiction over zoning admin-
istration. The Commission meets the
third Wednesday of the month at 9
am. For more information visit www.

Friendship Center
Festival of Hearts
Fiesta is coming early this year!
Friendship Centers popular February
event is a Valentines Fiesta for its 13th
annual Festival of Hearts. Saturday,
February 11, the Reagan Room at Fess
Parkers Doubletree Resort will be
transformed with Fiesta-style decora-
tions, Latin music, and a Valentine lun-
cheon featuring Latin food. The event
raises funds to benefit the HEART
(Help Elders At Risk Today) program,
which sponsors Friendship Center
members who otherwise would not
be able to afford to attend the daily
programs. As always, the event fea-
tures Valentine-themed shopping, and
both live and silent auctions. Over 200
people are expected to attend.
At the heart of this popular fiesta
are the papier-mch hearts donated
by local celebrities, noteworthy art-
ists and students from Dos Pueblos,
Santa Barbara and Bishop Diego High
Schools as well as Westmont College.
This year, Casa Dorinda residents also
donated decorated hearts; the effort
was headed up by Activities Director
Heidi Artman. Crane Country Day
School has also participated, with
some Crane students adopting
Friendship Center as recipient of their
community service project. The stu-
dents, led by teacher Janey Cohen,
have decorated and donated hearts.
Each guest at the event is given a heart
as a favor, while some are auctioned
off in a silent auction.
The live auction features week-
end stays at InterContinental hotels,
a five-day desert getaway to Palm
Springs, a themed dinner at a Mission
Canyon home, wine tasting tours, and
lunches with local elected officials
including First District Supervisor
Salud Carbajal and Mayor Helene
Schneider, among other offerings.
Local artists participating include
Steven Gilbar, Jeff Bridges, Stacie

ens of others. The event is headed up

S
aks Fifth Avenue was teaming
with 200 moms and daughters
(12 to 18 years old) having a
blast at the Mother Daughter Night
hosted by Parentclick.com and Saks,
benefting the Scholarship Foundation
of Santa Barbara. Ten percent of all
purchases for the evening went to the
Foundation.
This was an evening for teens and
tweens to experiment in finding their
own age-appropriate style. There
were rotating mini-classes in cosmet-
ics, skin care routines and manners.
Dolce Salon and Allure Salon did the
hair care and styling. The teens could
experiment at the lip bar or with fra-
grance layering. For memories, there
was a photo booth and goody bags
were handed out.
One of the highlights was the fash-
ion show with seventh- and eighth-
grade models from the National
Charity League (NCL) who are called
Ticktockers. These girls are mem-
bers all through junior high and high
school learning the value of volunteer-
ing with the encouragement of their
moms. Saks marketing and PR person,
Kristi Marks, commentated the show
revealing fashion trends. Orange is
the hot color this spring. It can be
put with purple, hot pink or yellow.
Some call it tangerine tango, but thats
plain old orange. Tropical brights are
in. The little black dress has turned
into the little bright dress. Lots of
garden florals; black and white is still
around, highlighted with lace. Maxi
skirts are back. Bold colored denim for
jeans and still animal prints. Kristi
reminded us of Armanis quote, The
difference between style and fashion
is quality. And remember, models
come in all sizes.
In between festivities there was
wine, mocktails and appetizers. The
event was the work of Kristi Marks
and ParentClick.com founder, Rachael
Steidle.
As a new mom, Rachael was moti-
vated to create ParentClick.com in
2002. It is an online publisher that pro-
vides a pulse on the local scene and a

Reinventing Radio
UCSB Arts & Lectures filled
Campbell Hall to the brim with fans
of Ira Glass. Now Im one too. The
evening was billed as Reinventing
Radio: An Evening with Ira Glass. It
was almost an evening without him.
Miller McCune Executive Director
Celesta Billeci told the audience,
Due to weather he missed his con-
nection in Los Angeles and had to rent
a car and drive here so well be start-
ing a few minutes late.
Ira is host and creator of the public
radio show, This American Life. The
show premiered on Chicagos public
radio station WBRZ in 1995 and is
now heard on more than 500 public
stations each week with more than 1.7
million listeners. Most of the time, the
podcast is the most popular mode of
listening in America. The program has
won the highest honors for broadcast-

ing and journalistic excellence, includ-
ing several Peabody and duPont-
Columbia awards. Obviously Glass is
doing something right.
You could tell from his performance
that he is completely passionate about
his job. My parents tried until I was
forty to get me to be a doctor, Ira told
us. Theyve finally given up. Glass is
not only a journalist, but also a sto-
ryteller par excellence. He explained
how he keeps the audience engaged
by moving the story forward, so they
feel compelled to stay tuned.
Ira began his career as an intern at
National Public Radios (NPR) net-
work headquarters in Washington,
D.C. in 1978 at age 19. In time, he held
nearly every kind of production job
there was at NPR.
Glass mixed audio clips of select
stories from his radio show and com-
bined his narration with pre-taped
quotes and music. Those of us who
are dating ourselves by admitting we
grew up on radio, remember how
exciting it was because we had to use
our imaginations. There were decod-
er rings to send for and Glass has
done that, plus temporary tattoos and
paint-by-numbers sets.
To get a story, Glass remembered
one time when he went aboard an air-
craft carrier that was sending planes to
bomb Afghanistan. As he said, There
are five thousand people aboard to
keep eighty pilots in the air. The aver-
age age is twenty-one. It reminded
me of a giant nuclear armed college
dorm.
Even though Iras day had begun
at 4 am, he came to the private recep-
tion for the Producers Circle mem-
bers at Mosher Alumni House and
made himself available for photo ops
with all his fans. Some of those fans
were Gordon and Sheila Morrell,
Kath Lavidge, Andre Yew, Catherine
Lloyd and Michael Hayes, and Kim
Phillips.

The St. Cecilia Society
Though its always been a secu-
lar organization, the founders of St.
Cecilia Society chose the Patron Saint
of Music to name their group because
they were all musicians. This was back
in 1891, making it the oldest charitable
organization in Santa Barbara. These
ladies formed a small orchestra and
gave benefit concerts to raise funds
to assist patients at the new Cottage
Hospital. Now, we once again have a
new Cottage Hospital.
Today there are no musicals, but
never has there ever been any paid
staff in the over 100 years. Twelve
members of the board of directors do
the work throughout the year. They
are Tish Gainey, Debby Ciambrone,
Ann Conway, Sallie Coughlin, Mary
Garton, Susan Johnson, Ladeen
Miller, Charlene Nagel, Nikki
Rickard, Heidi Rose, Marianne
Sprague and Sigrid Toye. They
underwrite an annual tea to thank
members and recruit new ones. All
Saints by-the-Sea Episcopal Church
generously lends their facilities to the
group for the tea. This is where I met
up with them.
There is an old song called Cecilia,
Youre Breaking My Heart. But in
this case they are healing hearts by
providing funds for unmet medical
and dental expenses of the less fortu-
nate Santa Barbara County residents.
The amounts vary from as little as
$15 to meet a co-pay to several thou-
sand, excluding catastrophic expens-
es. Cases are referred to St. Cecilia
and when accepted, they pay only the
health provider, usually negotiating
a smaller fee. This years case inves-
tigator Nikki Rickard reviewed over
200 cases, submitting 127cases to the
board that approved 101, costing a
total of about $150,000.
President Tish Gainey brought the
120
th
annual meeting to order. Guest
speakers were Bonnie Campbell, who
is COO of Santa Barbara Neighborhood
Clinics, and Quynh Nguyen, dental
director at the Eastside Family Dental
Clinic. Both spoke of heartfelt healing
stories because of St. Cecilia Society.
The group has come a long way from
their original Gibson Girl attire with
horses and carriages to cell phones and
computers, but they are still helping
many lives. Membership is open to all
and your help is most welcome. Have

Last season I played an offstage role
as a London record producer dealing
with a bickering classical quartet in
Opus, but in the new show, directed by
Jamie Torcellini, who played in last
seasons hit, The Mystery of Irma Vep, I
am cast as a BBC news reader updat-
ing the public on the fugitive at large
in the engaging, fast-paced whodunit.
Taping took place at the Victoria
Hall Theater and, despite the odd flub
over the English pronunciation of the
word moustache, all went smoothly.

Bestowal to Byers
Karen Byers is the Santa Barbara
Yacht Clubs new Woman of the Year.
Karen, whose husband Jack is
the maritime meccas Junior Staff
Commodore, was awarded the pres-
tigious trophy by Kathleen Yabsley,
the previous recipient, at the clubs
installation lunch.
The award is given for volunteering
and supporting the historic 140-year-
old club and its members, particularly
women.
It was all kept very secret, says
Karen, who owns a construction com-
pany with Jack. It was a little over-
whelming when I heard my name. I
was absolutely speechless, but it was
a wonderful surprise.
She is always there to help, no
matter what the job, enthuses fellow
member Trish Davis. She has always
given one hundred and fifty percent.
Brava!...
No Whiners Here
The new chapter of the American
Wine Society in Santa Barbara County
descended on the Pierre Lafond Wine
Bistro in the Upper Village to check
out a rare collection of pinot noirs.
Wine aficionado Santa Barbara-
based Jacky Lopez, a former hotelier,
who founded the chapter six months
ago, says the monthly meetings are all
about wine education and enjoyment.
Some people might think of a
wine-tasting group as a snooty bunch
of cork dorks, discussing terroir and
hints of brambles, says Jacky. While
wine snobbery is plenty good for jokes
on TV, its terrible for you, your wine
and your wine tasting friends.
Wine clubs should bring people
together, not set them apart.
Ill drink to that...
Flying A
Before Hollywood became a world-
wide brand associated with movies
and celebrities, the American Film
Manufacturing Company, known as
the Flying A due to its winged logo,
was churning out scores of black and
white silent films.
After the Chicago-based company
relocated its western unit to our Eden
by the Beach, by 1915 they had built
the countrys largest studio with some
of the fledgling industrys top direc-
tors, actors and writers.
From historic adobes to magnificent
mansions, sandy beaches to mountain
peaks, the cameras of the Flying A
cranked out more than 950 westerns,
dramas and comedies.
That amazing legacy is wonder-
fully on show at the Santa Barbara
Historical Museum with its colorful,
artifact packed Dan Calderon-curated
exhibition, The Flying A: Silent Film
in Santa Barbara, which opened with
a reception and talk by Dana Driskel,
studio professor of film and media
studies at UCSB.
The studio, which operated until
1921, was also a training ground for
major talent, with Allan Dwan going
on to direct Douglas Fairbanks in the
1922 version of Robin Hood and John
Wayne in 1949s Sands of Iwo Jima. In
1939, Victor Fleming directed Gone
with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz.
The exhibition, which runs through
August 19 and marks the studios cen-
tennial, has a number of highlights,
including original movie posters, a
Bell & Howell motion picture camera
and four digitized Flying A films play-
ing in the Sala Wall Theater...

n ancient times, olives provided
the essential fat in the diet of the
peoples of the Mediterranean
regions. Olives were considered to
be the fruit of civilization, and the
ancients measured wealth by the
number of olive trees one owned.
Cutting down olive trees was a serious
crime as well as an offense against the
goddess Athena who, according to
Classical Mythology, created the tree
for her namesake city.
The ancients used the oil in food
preparation, as a skin cleanser, medi-
cine, a base for scent, and fuel for
lighting. An olive branch became a
symbol for peace, wisdom and victory.
Olympian athletes were crowned with
olive wreaths and amphoras of olive
oil were given as prizes at athletic
events.
Records indicate that olive trees
have been cultivated at least since
5,000 B.C. Olive trees are incredibly
hardy, often surviving years of neglect
and abuse and even fire. Scientists
believe the oldest olive tree in the
world, which resides on the island of
Crete, is 2,000-5,000 years old.
Mission Olives
When the Spanish colonized the
new world, they brought the fruit
of civilization with them. In 1769,
Father Serra brought olive seeds to
Alta California as part of the Portola
Expeditions campaign to establish
missions, presidios and pueblos so
Spain could solidify its claim to the
territory. The seeds were planted at
Mission San Diego. Later, cuttings
from these trees established olive
orchards at subsequent missions.
In 1803, Father Lasun, president
of the missions, noted, In some mis-
sions they have begun to harvest
olives; and at San Diego, they have
already made some very good olive
oil. Like in the southern climates
of the world, olive oil in Spanish
California was the foundation of
cooking and was used as fuel for
lighting sanctuary lamps.
Soon after 1811, when the Mexican
Revolution for independence from
Spain began, Californias missions
began trading with ships from other
countries. Besides the hide and tallow
trade, olive oil provided a basis for
acquiring needed supplies. In 1827,
the French navigator Duhaut-Cilly
visited Mission Santa Barbara and
found that among its various orchard
trees there were fine olive trees that
shaded straight paths.
After final secularization of 1832-33,
when Mexico stripped the missions of
their lands and power, mission farms
and orchards fell into ruin. By the
time Captain George Simpson of the
Hudson Bay Company visited in 1842,
he found, however, that despite years
of neglect, whole avenues of olive
trees had survived though their fruit
littered the ground. Nineteen years
later, William H. Brewer, a member of
a Yale scientific expedition, saw the
results of further degradation. The
palm trees are dead, he wrote, and
the olive and fig trees are dilapidated
and broken.
Renaissance
When Jules Emile Goux arrived
in Santa Barbara in the early 1850s
from Lyon, France, he was hired by
his countrymen, the Abadie Brothers,
as a bookkeeper before opening his
own grocery store. Together with
Albert Packard, he established new
olive orchards and by 1865 there were
a number of acres in Santa Barbara
devoted to its culture. It was a small
beginning.
Though Goux would remain
involved in horticultural pursuits in
Santa Barbara, it was a descendent
of William Penns colony, Ellwood
Cooper, who would revive and pro-
mote olive culture in Santa Barbara
and California. Cooper and his wife
visited Santa Barbara in 1868 search-
ing for a new way of life. Impressed

n.o.t.e.s. from downtown
by Jim Alexander
Mr. Alexander is a sleep
clinic M.D. whose latest
book, Sleep Longer, Sleep
Well, F You! is still in his
bedside drawer
T
he few times that I was forced
to read Shakespeare I often
thought, A translator, a translator,
my kingdom for a translator, but I
understood him perfectly when he
wrote: O sleep! O gentle sleep! Natures
soft nurse.
I used to sleep like a baby, which
is to say I drooled a bit and if I slept
through the night without getting up
thered be a 100% chance that Id wet
the bed. But recently, the ogre known
as Insomnia has begun to haunt me.
I fall asleep rather easily but after a
few hours I wake as if Ive fallen out
of bed and into a snow bank. Ive tried
the usual suspects to get back to sleep
counting sheep, hypnotic imaging,
reading The Life and Times of Spiro
T. Agnew, drinking warm milk, guz-
zling room temperature cabernet sau-
vignon from the wrong side of a glass
while standing on one leg, but nothing
works. The following is a journal of a
typical night for me lately:
Okay, Im wide awake; it must be
time to get up and go to work. Nope,
its only two am No problem, Ill
just close my eyes and think of some-
thing pleasant.
Not that pleasant. Besides, shell
wide-awake. Go into the living room
and read. Stay out of the kitchen,
Tubby. Okay the Sees Candy isnt
legally in the kitchen, its in the dining
room, but I shouldnt. Maybe just one
piece. Okay, just one more because I
ate all my broccoli at dinner. Okay, just
one more because... I ate all my broc-
coli at dinner.
Dont look at the clock. Three
oclock? I said dont look! Man, Ive
got more energy than a cup of coffee
smoking ginseng. I could run a mara-
thon right now. Okay, maybe not a
marathon but I could run around the
block. Okay, maybe not around the
entire block but my point is, Im wired.
This book stinks. How come this
hack has fifty-two books published
and I cant even get an agent to look at
mine? I might as well go back to bed.
Dont look at the clock. Dont look at
the clock. Four-thirty-two? My God,
I need a twelve-step program. Hi,
my name is Jim Alexander and Im a
clock-watcher.
Damn, Loras stolen all the covers
again. No problem, just get under the
sheet and settle down. Think of some-
thing enjoyable. Im the shortstop for
the Los Angeles Dodgers. Thats right,
a fifty-eight-year-old shortstop. Its
not impossible. Ive still got skills. I
need an older teammate to relate to
so make Billy Crystal the second base-
man. No, wait, Billys five years older
than me. No one will pay attention
to a fifty-eight-year-old shortstop if
theres a sixty-three-year-old second
baseman.
My leg itches. So, scratch it. I am
scratching it. How come I cant feel it?
I cant feel my leg! Wait, thats Loras
leg Im scratching. Okay, settle down.
Im a fifty-eight-year-old shortstop for
the Dodgers and Billy Crystal is the
batboy.
The suns coming up. Go ahead and
look at the clock. No, I dont want to
now. Get up and make your lunch for
work. Jeez, Im full of P & V. Make
coffee. Better make it decaf, Im hyper
enough. Brush your teeth. Try brush-
ing your teeth and peeing simultane-
ously. Holy mackerel, I do still have
skills.
Okay, time to go to work. Suddenly
Im exhausted. I could curl up and
snooze right on the hardwood floor.
O sleep! O gentle sleep! Natures soft
nurse. MJ
never agree to it and I think were out
of whipped cream. Think of some-
thing else as long as its not the mort-
gage payment or work.
I said not work, Dummy!
Dont look at the clock. I read recent-
ly that checking the clock every fifteen
minutes just adds anxiety to the prob-
lem. Dont do it. 2:02. Its only been
two minutes?
Calm down. Close your eyes and
relax. I think its working. Yep, Im
drifting off. Whats this lump on my
stomach? A tumor? Oh, my, God, can-
cer? Nope, false alarm. Its an M&M.
Dont look at the clock. Dont!
Really, only 2:04? Try counting sheep.
One... two... three... that sheep looked
more like a dog... four... five... six, Im
six hundred dollars short on my mort-
gage payment.
Okay, this isnt working out, Im
Diary of a Mad Insomniac
Whats this lump on my
stomach? A tumor? Oh, my,
God, cancer? Nope, false
alarm. Its an M&M.

High Time for y Redo
I read with interest the Journals
recent articles on the proposed
Montecito YMCA remodel. The Y
is the only facility of its kind in
Montecito, and has made a major
difference in quality of life for my
three school-age children. Although
it is a wonderful town in most ways,
Montecito is not particularly pedes-
trian- or bike-friendly, and kids here
do not have the same measure of
independence they do elsewhere.
Fortunately, our Y provides an anti-
dote to those problems.
However, the Montecito facility is
in dire need of a major overhaul. It
was built in the 1960s, and no sig-
nificant improvements have occurred
since that time. Aesthetically, the
buildings are literally cinderblock
bunkers (granted, with red tile roofs).
Functionally, they reflect the YMCAs
attempt to keep pace with the times
without the square footage or finan-
cial means to do so. (Take, for exam-
ple, the added open air weight
room consisting of a tarp for a roof,
over an outdoor cement patio.)
It seems surprising that the afflu-
ent community of Montecito has a
YMCA that pales in comparison to
those of its neighbors. Thanks to my
own kids swim team competitions,
I have visited every YMCA within
an hours drive. Without exception,
Montecitos facility is older, shabbier,
and less functional than any other
YMCA on the Central Coast. If this is
news to you, stop by for a tour some
time. The Montecito Y welcomes visi-
tors and would be happy to show
you the existing buildings, as well as
the remodel plans.
The YMCAs goals are well known:
family fitness, youth sports, child-
care, and community service. The
remodel is entirely planned around
these goals, such as the construction
of a basketball-volleyball gym (care-
fully situated in the ravine below San
Ysidro Road to minimize bulk and
height), enlarged exercise rooms, and
the addition of an indoor heated pool.
A renovated childcare building will
house preschool and daycare classes,
and the entire project is designed for
green LEED certification. Traffic
and noise have been studied by out-
side experts, and designed for mini-
mal impact.
It is not an overstatement to say
that the Montecito YMCA represents
the best of Montecito as a commu-
nity. As such, it deserves our full
support. It is one of the rare places
where people from all walks of life
can come together, contribute, and
strive toward a common purpose.
Stop by any morning and take a look
around. You will not only see people
sweating on exercise bicycles, but
also soccer moms practicing yoga,
octogenarians taking dance classes,
and toddlers learning how to swim.
The Y is an entirely volunteer-run,
nonprofit organization. Its remodel
will be entirely funded by donor
contributions, large and small. When
the time comes for the funding cam-
paign, I hope your readers will con-
sider supporting and investing in the
Ys effort to improve both its own
facilities, and Montecito at large.

Montecito
Sodom & Gomorrah
Re-visited
This next election will be the most
important one in our lifetimes. A
choice will be made as to the direc-
tion our country will follow an enti-
tlement-welfare state or a merit-based
society as this debt-fueled con-
sumer nightmare finally implodes.
Christine Lagarde, head of IMF, has
now warned of a downward spiral
not seen since the Great Depression
in the 1930s. Im surprised its taken
so long.
I attend a monthly gathering of
really terrific people, all liberals,
called The Love Grid. Its known
that Im the only anti-Obama person
in their midst. Before our most recent
meeting, I had watched an unfamiliar
Woody Allen classic flick from 1975
called Love & Death. It contained this
gem which I shared later that evening
with the group:
Human Beings are divided into
mind & body. The mind embraces
poetry and philosophy. But the body
has all the fun! This produced great
laughs when I read it, because theres
truth behind this particular yin-yang
joke, and people recognized it.
The theme was called Sacred
Economics, and approximately 50
people sat in a large round circle in a
lovely environment where its safe to
express ones opinions, although we
dont need to agree with any of them.
I have been attending monthly for
over a year, and have experienced my
heart-space expanding as I practiced
non-judgmental active listening.
I jumped into the discussion toward
the end, after declaring myself to be
an independent who has a body to
carry around her brain. As I spoke
spontaneously, not having a specific
agenda, since it was coming direct-

tors or engineers, but simply pushing
little bits of paper around, not creat-
ing anything of value, in Wall Street.
Whenever I go sailing along Santa
Barbara wharf and see the largest
yacht belonging to this gentleman,
I remember his words. While Mr.
Munger may not be as famous as his
business partner of many decades,
Warren Buffett, I believe Mr. Munger
to be the wiser of the two.
The Occupy Wall Street et al have
their equation totally wrong. Its not
about the top 1% (who happen to
pay 40% of all the taxes) we should
be concerned about, but try focusing
on the 47% of American workers who
have absolutely no skin in the game,
contributing zip to the economy. The
goal of the Democratic Party is to
raise this dependent segment of our
population to 60%, ergo eliminating
any political challenge to the status
quo.
Instead of a welfare-entitlement
society similar to Greece whose gov-
ernment loves to redistribute other
peoples money, we have a chance to
vote for a merit-based society repre-
sented by the other extreme of the yin-
yang dichotomy the Republicans
who want nothing less than freedom
and opportunity via education, hard
work, risk-taking and some luck.
Unfortunately, this choice is very
Darwinian, having a Can-Do spirit
of the yang (above the neck chakras)
energy, which tends to be highly
competitive, bold, aggressive and
sometimes ruthless (w/o heart). Its
an unfair match compared with its
gentler counterpart, the ying (below
the belt chakras) energy, generally
called the collective. Its all about
people and relationships: compliant,
highly cooperative, focusing on the
disenfranchised, an inability to say
no, and consumed with guilt feel-
ings should they have more than
someone else. Since theres very little
ego development, theres no trace of
autonomy either. This is catnip for
the do-gooders of the world.

WAy IT WAS (Continued from page 18)
by the hardy olive orchards of the mis-
sion, Cooper believed he had found a
path to his future. He was convinced,
he wrote in his memoirs, that there
was a great opening for the olive
industry in California.
The Coopers purchased a part of
Rancho Dos Pueblos and established
their ranch in 1870. He planted cut-
tings from the missions of Santa
Barbara, San Fernando, San Diego,
and Tajiguas Ranch. After several
years he had 12,500 trees and had
built a mill. His bottles of oil featured
a label that depicted a dove clutching
an olive branch in its beak as it flew
toward Noahs Ark.
Cooper worked tirelessly to pro-
mote olive culture. Two who took up
the call were brothers Alston and Ben
Hayne who had come to Montecito
in 1868. By the 1880s they had estab-
lished a nursery of olive saplings from
cuttings from the Santa Barbara mis-
sion. In 1884, Alston planted 5,000
young trees below Mission Santa
Ynez. When that proved profitable,
others joined in, including William
P. Gould of Montecito who hired the
brothers to plant olive trees on his
ranch lands in Santa Ynez.
Another customer was Alden M.
Boyd. In 1885 he hired the Haynes to
plant 10,000 trees on his Rancho Los
Olivos. He established an olive press
and pickling vats on Alamo Pintado
Creek.
The Santa Barbara Morning Press
gave a boost to olive cultivation when
it revealed, An olive grove is a bet-
ter inheritance than a life insurance
policy and much cheaper. A grove of
10 acres of seven-year-old trees will
produce a net annual income of not
less than $2,500.
An 1887 article in the San Jose Times
helped promote the industry as well.
Intelligent and educated natives of
Southern Europe the reporter wrote,
have no relish for butter, regarding
dairy products generally as unclean
and only fit for semi-barbarous people
for food. But the olive they regard as
correspondent to purity and mental
cultivation. (Early proponents of the
Mediterranean Diet would have been
pleased; dairymen not so much.)
Cooper presented extensive
research touting the medicinal value
of olive oil as well. Proponents
claimed that olive oil rubdowns mit-
igated the effects of measles and
reduced fevers and symptoms of
malaria. Taken internally it could
cure dysentery, flatulence, and con-
stipation. Cooper wrote, There is
nothing that will act more energeti-
cally in a case of imprisoned gases
than a large dose of olive oil mixed
with a small portion of turpentine.
A teething baby? Rub its gums with
olive oil. Nervous, fretful or peevish
children? Give a warm sponging and
oiling with pure olive oil. There was
nary a disease that couldnt be cured
by the miraculous olive.
In 1892, Cooper wrote, I believe
the time will come when all the table-
lands, hills, and mountain slopes will
be planted with olive. The follow-
ing year nearly 2,000 quart bottles
of Coopers Virgin Olive Oil created
a 29-foot tower at the Agricultural
Pavilion at the Chicago Worlds Fair.
Swept up by the trend, Giovanni
Baptista Parma, the Italian grocer,
joined other locals when he planted a
grove on his ranch off todays Sheffield
Drive and placed pickling vats along
Sycamore Creek. William P. Gould
was inspired to buy an additional
acre of land in Montecito and build
a mill. His Montecito Manufacturing
Company was producing pure olive
oil and other products such as olive
oil candy by 1893.
Hiatus and Rebirth
By 1900, the olive had seen its day.
Education and promotion could not
keep up with the supply, and olive
culture became a victim of its own
success. Whereas in 1875 there were
an estimated 11,000 mature trees in
California, in 1911 there were one mil-
lion. The market was oversupplied
and European imports and oil adul-
terated with cottonseed oil or hogs
lard was significantly cheaper.
Olive orchards started to disappear.
In Los Olivos, Alden M. Boyd ripped
out all his trees and planted wheat
and barley and raised pigs and cows.
In Montecito, Goulds mill shut down
in 1905 and became a private resi-
dence. Cooper himself retired from
his horticultural pursuits in 1912.
The olive oil business remained list-
less for much of the 20
th
century. The
enterprise, however, is as hardy as
the tree for after withstanding years
of neglect, olive culture saw a rebirth
in California at the end of the century.
One family who is part of this renais-
sance is the Makela family
of Santa Barbara who pur-
chased a fledgling Santa
Barbara Olive Company
in 1983 and turned it into
a successful enterprise.
In so doing, history
came full circle. Craig
Makelas great-great-
grandfather is none other
than Jules (John) Emile
Goux. The Makelas sold
their business in 2009
but continue to manage the com-
pany. Their son Chad now produces
Olivos del Mar, a brand of organic
olive oil produced from olives from
the familys grove on the Gaviota
Coast.
Santa Ynez has also seen an upswing
in olive culture in the past 20 years as
olive trees have replaced oaks on the
rolling hillsides. Most recently, Pepper
Oaks Farm has established hedgerow
style plantings in order to mechanize
the harvest and mass produce olive
oil. In words evocative of Ellwood
Cooper in 1868, Spokesman Michael
Carpenter opined in a recent News-
Press article, California is very poised
to be a major player in the olive oil
industry.

Exploring Women,
Religion, and Media
by Scott Craig
Marla F. Frederick, Harvard profes-
sor of African and African-American
studies and of religion, investigates
Women, Religion and Media in
a free public lecture Wednesday,
Feb. 8, at 3 pm in Kerrwood Halls
Hieronymus Lounge. The Westmont
Gender Studies Program and Global
Christianity Series co-sponsor the talk.
Fredericks lecture will address con-
cerns related to the rise of prosper-
ity ministries in poor communities as
well as the dramatic rise of African
American religious broadcasters on
television. Her most recent book,
Between Sundays: Black Women and
Everyday Struggles of Faith, is an
ethnographic study of the faith com-
mitments of women in rural North
Carolina.
Marla Frederick works in fascinat-
ing ways at the intersection of eth-
nic identity, gender identity and reli-
gious identity, says Cheri Larsen
Hoeckley, Westmont professor of
English. She brings to campus expe-
rience in field studies with African-
American women in Christian com-
munities in the rural South and in
contemporary religious media.
Dr. Fredericks lecture, Professor
Hoeckley says, will offer both stu-
dents and the larger community a
model of bringing faith to bear on
scholarship thats both richly rigorous
and deeply engaged in questions peo-
ple are asking outside the academy

moves backstage.
The idea of Music of the Night was
instigated and first produced by
SBHS students Blake Berris and Evan
Hughes (both Montecito Union grads)
in 1999. It was an outstanding produc-
tion and one which I first reported on
and covered for the Journal. Blake has
since gone on to Hollywood success
and was nominated in 2009 for an
Emmy as an Outstanding Younger
Actor in a Drama Series for his role
as Nick Fallon in daytime TVs Days
of Our Lives. Blake recently had guest
appearances on TVs The Big Bang
Theory, Prime Suspect, and Breaking
Bad. Bass-baritone Evan Hughes,
on the other hand, is a literal sing-
ing sensation, having performed
at Carnegie Hall, Tanglewood, the
Music Academy, and other prestigious
locales. He was awarded the Grand
Prize in the Marilyn Horne Foundation
Competition, and has wowed em in
Denmark, Italy, Germany and pretty
much wherever he sings. Music of the
Night has what one might call good
bones if one were in the real estate
business rather than show business.
Now that weve established that tal-
ent exceptional talent is a byproduct
of Santa Barbara High Schools Drama
Department, we wondered how it all
comes together so seamlessly and so
enjoyably year after year. After all,
there are no parents, no teachers, no
administrators, no adults of any kind
involved in the production. Music of
the Night is an all-student show in
every aspect.
Q. How do you select the directors of
the show?
A. McKenna: The directors from
previous years select next years direc-
tors. As there are three seniors here,
we know we have to choose three new
directors for next year so we choose
whoever shows the most leadership
and works best from our cast.
The new directors dont have to be
seniors because we want at least one
person who will be here for two years
so they can help run things the next
year. We all decide as a group, and
we have to go through and talk about
every single person of our cast to make
sure were choosing the right person.
Can you tell us how auditions take
place?
Savanna: Its always really hard each
year with auditions. This year, we
had, I think, eighty-five auditions. We
were so surprised at all the talented
people. There were no bad auditions.
It kept getting better so we held danc-
ing auditions as well, just to make
the decision easier as to who would
be cast. But, everyone did well in the
dancing auditions, so that didnt help,
but there is only four of us so we try to
keep the cast around thirty. This year,
we pushed it by choosing thirty-five.
How do you select what will be in the
show?
Claire: We all started picking songs
that we liked from different Broadway
musicals back in June, so we knew
what we were going to sing. After we
select our cast, we wait almost two
months for the fall theater production
of Santa Barbara High School to fin-
ish and then we announce our set list
and have callbacks for various parts
and then give our final say in who is
doing what.
And, what if no one can handle a dif-
ficult song?
Clayton: We try not to pick anything
that will be impossible to do. If were
going to pick something from Phantom
of the Opera [for example] that no one
can pull off, then were not going to do
it. But, usually we have such a great
pool to pull from that we can pick
songs we know will be great and that
we can do. We usually dont go into it
completely blind.
How do you choose a theme for the
production?
McKenna: We dont really say
theres going to be a theme, but all
our songs have to work together. This
year, at it turns out, most of our songs
are upbeat and we have a good mix of
modern songs and songs from classic
musicals.
How about choreography; how is that
handled?
Claire: We all do a lot of the stag-

or even carried pattern books in their
baggage. But the similarity is striking
and beyond coincidental.
Another part of the Mission build-
ing confirms the same European
sources. The handsome Mission con-
vent wing adjacent to the church is a
long upper storey window-wall over a
deep-arcaded porch built about 1786.
This is a direct copy of Brunelleschis
Hospital de la Innocenti built about
1450 in the middle of Florence Italy.
Even though Santa Barbara and
the West Coast were rugged and
remote, completely isolated, and until
1775 had to be reached by coming
up through Mexico or by ship, our
Mission was able to evolve with a
long, distinguished architectural pedi-
gree, a substantial heritage, and a
noble classical lineage because it was
hand-carried to us from Spain to Santa
Barbara by the intrepid Franciscans.
Just like the seedpods they brought
introduced wheat to our fields, they
carried their Old World architectural
visions with them, intact, ready-to-
bloom when ready. So, next time you
drive by the Mission, dont forget to
thank its makers for supplying the
architectural DNA from which our
lovely city has grown. MJ
W
here did the imposing
faade of our Queen
Mission come from? Was it
a wild idea of a pioneering Friar? Did
the King send the design from Spain?
Was it a copy of a European building
by scholarly clergy settling into the
New World? Yes.
The design roots of our renowned
landmark mission, which is Santa
Barbaras center and most significant
building, lie in the precedent set centu-
ries before in the Mediterranean world
of Ancient Roman and Renaissance
Italy.
The principal faade is a triangular
pediment placed on columns flanked
by twin bell towers. The best and earli-
est example of this composition (out-
side of the Greek Parthenon) is found
in the heart of Ancient Rome in the
Pantheon, which was built by Emperor
Hadrian in the second century A.D.
The same idea was copied a thousand
years later in the sixteenth century by
Palladio, a famous Architect of Venice,
for his design for a prominent church,
San Giorgio Maggiore, and again can
be seen in his famous Villa Barbaro
in Maser. Fortunately for Palladio, the
church was built on an island on a
waterfront site opposite Piazza San
Marco in Venice. It then became a
building captivating centuries of tour-
ists and visiting clergy, always revered
for its picturesque front view, which
was copied all over Europe.
Since the Santa Barbara Mission and
the Italian precedents are so similar, it
is clear the Padres and their patrons
were familiar with these buildings
before they came to the New World
from Spain. The structures could have
been seen during a pilgrimage to
Rome, or maybe the friars had seen
engravings of these famous buildings,

Property Dispute on La Vuelta Road
Sunday, 22 January, 12:57 pm Deputy Valadez was dispatched to a residence
on La Vuelta Road to investigate a property dispute. On the scene, Valadez
spoke with the reporting party, who reported hedges on his property were
removed and damaged. The dispute started when the reporting party planted
the line of hedges on west side of La Vuelta Road, near North Jameson Road.
The line of hedges potentially fell into neighboring property. On March 29,
2011, a Santa Barbara Court judgment ruled in favor of the reporting party,
allowing him to align the property with planted hedges. Since he planted them,
three hedges have been damaged or removed; and in the past week, a fourth
plant was damaged. There were not any surveillance videos that captured the
incident. A report was taken.
Teens Rescued on a Mountain Ridge in Alisal Ranch
Wednesday, 25 January, 6:45 pm Members of the Santa Barbara County
Search and Rescue (SAR) and Santa Barbara County Fire Helicopter rescued
two teenagers on a mountain ridge above Alisal Ranch. Two local male teens
went on a hike at 3 pm above the guest ranch near Solvang; however, they had
to stop several hours into their hike when it started to get dark. One of the
hikers called his father because he and his friend did not have any lights or a
good idea of where they were located on the hike. The father contacted Santa
Barbara Sheriffs Emergency Dispatch for assistance; they used GPS coordinates
to locate the stranded hikers. SAR communicated with the hikers via cell phone
to determine if they could hear sirens from where they were located in the
ravine. A four-person field team went in to access the teens, while Santa Barbara
County Fire helicopter confirmed their location. It took the SAR 90 minutes to
hike uphill, often on hands and knees, before reaching the stranded hikers. SAR
determined that the hikers did not have any injuries. Both teens were trans-
ported down the ranch road to their parents around midnight. A report was
taken. Public Information Officer at the Sheriffs Office Drew Sugars wishes to
remind the public that the land surrounding Alisal Ranch is private property,
and trespassers will be issued citations. MJ

SBIFF Spotlight
by Lily Buckley
Laguna Blanca alumni Adam Pesce
and Danielle Robinson (class of 98)
have joined forces to make a docu-
mentary about the rise of surfing in
Vanimo, an isolated village in Papua
New Guinea, called Splinters. The
sport was first introduced when a vis-
iting Australian pilot left his surfboard
in the village in the 1980s. Directed by
Adam, the film follows four surfers
leading up to the Papua New Guinea
National Surfing Titles. It was bought
by Snag Films and ESPN and will be
released in theaters February 3; it has
also been named Best Documentary in
the 2011 Surfer Poll at Surfer Magazine.
Splinters has been selected as part of
the documentary lineup for the Santa
Barbara International Film Festival,
and it will be shown on February 5 at
5 pm at Metro 4.
The SBIFF has also chosen ex-Mon-
tecito Union student Matt Ornsteins
film, Atlantis, as part of its Shorts
Program, to be shown on Friday at
Metro 4, at 10:20 am. The 19-minute
film, written and directed by Matt,
is centered on the final space shuttle
launch, and stars Parenthoods Jason
Ritter and One Tree Hills Kate French.
In addition, a special screening has
been set up for the upper school stu-
dents at Montecito Union Thursday,
February 2. MJ
Marla Frederick will speak at a free public lecture

Helipad. A new rooftop helicopter-landing pad provides direct air ambulance
access. Previously, incoming emergency patients landed at a nearby Junior
High School and had to undergo a 20-minute ride to the hospital.
Healing Arts Program. The new hospital combines architecture, landscaping
and art to create a pleasant environment for patients, staff and families, includ-
ing numerous meditation areas and gardens. One of the more dramatic is the
River of Life trickling through a courtyard area that enhances and encourages
outdoor dining. Another is the Cloister Garden with its stone walls and Tree of
Life. Also notable is the Santa Barbara Museum of Art Collection outside the
new cafeteria.
A Landmark Collection of 45 specially commissioned works of art sets the
tone for almost 1,200 original art paintings, sculptures, mosaics, fabrics, quilts,
mixed media art and photography selected from 123 Central Coast artists. Each
floor of new Cottage has a single artistic theme: the ground floor features
Santa Barbara architecture; the second floor offers water and beach art; and the
third floor displays gardens and landscape art.
How to Pay for a $725 Million Improvement
Following the 1994 Northridge earthquake, California mandated that all
hospitals be retrofitted to withstand a 6.0 earthquake, but provided no state,
federal or local funding. A philanthropic plan was created to solicit $100 million
from local community supporters with the remaining $625 million coming from
operating reserves, tax-exempt bonds and current Cottage Hospital Foundation
assets.
What makes Cottage Unique? Nationwide, there are 5,200 hospitals in the
United States. It is generally agreed that the top three include John Hopkins in
Baltimore, Massachusetts General in Boston, and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,
MN, closely followed by such gems as the Cleveland Clinic, the Duke University
Medical Center and Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. It is rare that a community the
size of Santa Barbara can boast of a world-class, multi-specialty, patient-driven,
community hospital that consistently delivers exceptional quality care in 16
specialties.
Heres to your and Cottage Hospitals health! MJ
EDITORIAL (Continued from page 5)
J
ean Dujardin could be easily
forgiven for pushing back our
scheduled interview Monday
afternoon for a few hours. Less than 24
hours earlier, the French star had been
named the surprise best actor winner at
the Screen Actors Guild awards for his
role in The Artist, and hed been on the
phone for three straight hours already.
And after all, the Oscar-frontrunner is
in a silent flm, so talking to an endless
crush of reporters must have been
overwhelming, if not a bit ironic.
Dujardin and co-star Brnice Bejo,
who is nominated for a Supporting
Actress Oscar, will receive SBIFFs
Cinema Vanguard Award Saturday
night at the Arlington.
Q. What was your first reaction when
Michel [Hazanavicius] proposed a
silent movie?
A. I thought it wouldnt happen.
But I was ready to dream with Michel
because the story was beautiful and
touching and it was an incredible
gift he was giving us. But on paper. I
never thought it would see the light
of day.
Did you hesitate about taking the role?
I did hesitate. I said yes spontane-
ously. Then I thought about it and said
no. Then I remembered how much
I loved it the first time I read it, that
I loved it for the right reasons and I
decided to go back to my first inten-
tion. And after that I had no more
doubts.
Were you a fan of the genre?
Mostly Chaplin and a few others.
But that really reassured me. But
I also had a hard time imagining
myself doing pantomime like Chaplin
because hes a genius and it would
be too hard to measure up. But I saw
that it was a love story and wasnt just
based on characters and the form of
a silent movie but was instead a very
personal film, the directors vision.
How was the experience of making the
movie? Was it a challenge to have only
your body and facial expressions rather
than your voice to communicate?
[Acting] is not intellectual. Its a
body language. It was very instinc-
tive every day. I didnt feel like it was
complicated, just different. Its your
body that does the work. I listened to
Michel, his stories, his situations. All
I had to do was tell the situation, not
the character. The story was so well
constructed, we could fall back and
lean on that. And thats what people
want to see. Not just characters, but
a real story. So I let my own emotions
tell the story. And I did my homework
watching Fairbanks, Chaplin, Clark
Gable very different things to have
them in mind before shooting began.
Were you actually saying words from
the script? Were there lines you read that
then showed up in the screen cards?
I spoke in French and English and
also, mostly gibberish. The script was
beautifully done, with images of the
era, almost like a novel the way it read.
But we never made a silent movie.
Only when we edited it together. But
on set it was very live. We would
exchange looks and glances and not
need to say the words. Its a new way
to make a movie, and for the audience

his is such a great organization;
the people here are just
fantastic.
So reflected the Junior Staff
Commodore Jack Byers as we stood in
the corner of the Santa Barbara Yacht
Club on the night of the Commodores
Ball. This is the event in which the
clubhouse is packed out with sailors
and sailor-ettes who want to salute
the outgoing commodore: In this case
the very outgoing Jack Byers.
An upbeat, organized, and efficient
guy, Jacks mood meter is always on
happy and his perennial positive
persona has resonated with the whole
organization. As a contractor, he also
has contributed much professional
know-how to the club. This year the
Santa Barbara Yacht Club which
is a popular spot for everything from
local non-profit dinners, dance clubs,
high school proms, and the very suc-
cessful annual charity regattas fin-
ished a remodel of its galley/ kitch-
en. We all know what those projects
entail, and Jacks deft hand could be
seen throughout the process, work-
ing with a great team to bring it all to
completion.
His wife Karen known as the
Commodorable is a little power-
house herself. She was recently named
Woman of the Year by the Yacht
Club Women for her contributions,
dedication and outstanding service
to the SB Yacht Club Women and the
Yacht Club.
For this evenings event, staff com-
modore Tony Papa served as emcee
and came up with pranks and puns
and gags and gifts from the ridicu-
lous to the ribald but all in good
fun to toast and roast Byers. Then
the evening was finished off by
dancing couples swinging smartly
to the music while an enthusiastic
gaggle of girls bopped and hopped
to the band.
These are momentous years for
the clubs commodores. While Byers
saw the kitchen remodel through to
completion, Dave Baxter, who now
serves as 2012 Commodore, will over-
see the 140th anniversary of the Santa
Barbara Yacht Club. As the second
oldest yacht club on the Pacific Ocean,
it is one of the oldest and earliest
organizations in Santa Barbara.
Then, next year, in 2013, the club
will continue under the direction of
Francie Lufkin, who will become the
first female commodore in club his-
tory.
We have well-to-do people and we
have just hard-working people here,
Byers summed up, but when we all
come together, everybody gets along
and we just have a great time helping
each other and the community. Its
truly such a wonderful organization.
February
of the Fine Arts
Several local artists and writers are
launching works and making news
this month.
We start out with the irrepressible
Sam Salario, who knows how to live
life on the edge as a seriously senior
citizen. Forever a forward-looking
optimist, the 92-year old tells me he
buys green bananas...
Last year, he published two books
(including Deek Dietrich, Legendary
Bounty Hunter: Eight Short Stories), then
he wrote and produced a screenplay
(set in Isla Vista during Halloween,
no less!), and now a new stage play
that he penned is opening at the Plaza
Theatre in Carpinteria.
In Search of a Long-Term Relationship
is a senior citizen Internet romance.
Matt, who is on the prowl has made
a digital connection with Leona, a
smart, refined, well-read, and gra-
cious neat freak. Now, it is time for
meeting in person. Sparks fly and set
their friends love lives afire, but can
Matt and Leona kindle some romance
of their own? In Search of a Long-Term

Next up, Thea Vandervoort will be
one of the featured performers in Santa
Barbara Dance Alliances upcoming
production, Kinesis. Holding a dance
degree from UC Riverside, Thea was a
product of the locally renown Hanlin
Dance studio (and I can still remember
her amazing extensions in the Arabian
Dance for their annual Nutcracker).
She has choreographed a very pret-
ty, classical pointe Baroque-flavored
composition for the Dance Alliances
mixed rep show. The performance is
at Center Stage Theater upstairs at
Paseo Nuevo on Febuary 3 at 8 pm
and February 4th at 2 and 8 pm.
Then, if it seems local artist Martha
Ingman Lorch is in the pink and
sees nothing but blue skies through
rose colored glasses, well... dont be
green with envy. She recently won the
2012 Platinum Palette Award (Best
of Show) in the National Watercolor
Society Donors Exhibition at the NWS
Gallery, in San Pedro. Well done!
Finally, over at Center Stage on
February 19, Maria Lane Ross is pro-
ducing a staged reading of The Jaguars
Nest, which was inspired by a true
story of a woman struggling both with
a failed mental health system and
within herself.
The story was developed by Ms
Ross, and the stage play was writ-
ten by Ross and Ed Giron, who is
directing. This funny, irreverent, dra-
matic, sometimes heartbreaking story
explores what happens when all is
stripped away from you, but you can
still have hope, and with hope, mir-
acles can happen. A Q and A session
will be held after each performance.
These performances of the staged
reading benefit Peoples Self Help
Housing.
Proceeds are specially designated
for the purpose of providing compli-
mentary access to the exquisite cul-
tural events Santa Barbara has to offer.
Tickets for The Jaguars Nest are avail-
able at the Center Stage Theater box
office & at www.centerstagetheater.org.

ing for a lot of the songs. Im actu-
ally a dancer (with Santa Barbara
Dance Art); Ive been a dancer since
I was three years old and have done
productions over the summers for
various years. Ive never done theater
productions at Santa Barbara High
School outside of Music of the Night,
but for the choreography, we just
listen to all the songs for hours and
it starts to get into your head and we
go from there.
How do you decide how everything will
flow?
Clayton: We kind of figure out our
set list first and things usually come
together. I know theres a lot of chore-
ography that we plan beforehand but
then theres a lot of internal stuff that
just comes out organically. Well figure
out right step, left step and everything
else just blossoms.
Theres stuff that works and stuff
that doesnt work. We nailed a really
great opener were opening with Be
Our Guest from Beauty and the Beast.
Its a huge number and its so much
fun and everybody is on stage but
couldnt find a good closer, because
its a group number; its very specific.
We found it though, from a musical
called Catch Me If You Can.
The thing is, we learn the music and
then we change everything. We get it
all technically down, get all the notes,
and then its like wild cards.
Opening Night
The first paid public performance
of Music of the Night is scheduled for
Friday, February 3 at 7 pm, but the stu-
dents have been rehearsing every day
after school (including Saturdays and
many Sundays, especially as opening
night approaches) since early January.
They learn all the music before Winter
Break and practice with it in the music
room before moving into the theater
in January. The directors and nearly
all of the cast too dont leave until
8:30 or 9 pm most nights.
Music of the Night features nineteen
songs in all; for most of the num-
bers there will be four or five soloists
and there are many full-on ensemble
song-and-dance numbers. Allison
Lewis, 2010s Santa Barbara Teen Idol,
will sing I Dreamed A Dream from
Les Miserables completely solo and
Gabe Kaster will sing Marian the
Librarian from The Music Man. Its a
group number but hes the only one
actually singing. A live band will per-
form on stage in a raised proscenium.
Tickets are $5 for students, $10 for
adults and performances are sched-
uled for February 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11.
All shows begin at 7 pm.
We urge you to attend, enjoy, and
exult in seeing and hearing some of
the most talented kids on the Central
Coast for a piddling $10, less than the
price of admission at any local movie
house. In exchange for their months
of work, laughter, tears and sweat all
they seek in return is your applause
and appreciation.
It will be well deserved.
Santa Barbara High School Theater is

located at 700 East Anapamu; call 805-
966-9101, extension 220 for directions

Family Film
The Cowsills were one of the most
musically gifted families to hit the top
of the pop charts in the 60s, even the
popular 1970 TV series The Partridge
Family with Shirley Jones and teen idol
David Cassidy was based on them.
But after fame, success and stardom,
their star came crashing back to earth
after just five years.
Santa Barbara director, Louise
Palanker, was a big fan of the group
in her teens and began to wonder
what had come of them.
Out of that enquiring mind came
her documentary, Family Band: The
Cowsills Story, narrated by Bob
Cowsill, which revisits the birth, rise
and ultimate demise of the group
through interviews with family mem-
bers, close friends, industry execu-
tives and fellow musicians.
Bob often played at pubs in Los
Angeles and I met up with him and
other members of the family, says
Louise. He was very reticent about a
documentary at first. But, eventually,
after discussing it with his family, we
began filming. Seven years later, here
we are.
As a family who had experienced
a uniquely traumatic childhood, they
had never discussed what is revealed
in the film. So, although the process
may have been therapeutic, it was cer-
tainly also disruptive and emotionally
wrenching.
Louise, a former executive with
Premiere Radio Networks, adds: The
Cowsills are the public face of any
family that presents itself to the neigh-
borhood and the community in one
way, but in fact is hiding dysfunction
and secrets.
The documentary is being screened
on Friday at the Metro 4 Theatre...
Frankly, My Dear
The last time I saw My Fair Lady was
in 1994 on Broadway when Richard
Chamberlain played the linguistics
professor, Henry Higgins.
Fortunately, when the Broadway
Theater League brought what I would
describe as the perfect musical to the
Granada, the Lerner-Loewe produc-
tion lived up to every glorious expecta-
tion, practically mirroring the 1964 film
directed by George Cukor and star-
ring the gamine glamorpuss Audrey
Hepburn, which won eight Oscars.
The Cecil Beaton-designed mono-
chromatic outfits and magnificent mil-
linery for the Royal Ascot race scene
particularly stood out, but the oh-so
familiar songs were as fresh and lively
as when they first debuted on the
New York stage in 1956 with Julie
Andrews.
Aurora Florence as Eliza Doolittle
was superb in the role, as were Chris
Carsten as the professor and Richard
Springle as the avuncular Colonel
Pickering, played so memorably by
the late British actor, Wilfred Hyde-
White, in the movie, along with Rex
Harrison.
Kudos also to Daniel Cardenas as
Freddy Eynsford-Hill, Elizas besotted
suitor who was played on the silver
screen by Jeremy Brett and Arthur
Wise as Alfred Doolittle, the money-
grasping father.
The sold-out production couldnt
have been lover-lier...
Living With Cancer
It was two and a half years ago
that Montecitos Beverlye Hyman
Fead, 77, wrote her second book,
Nana, Whats Cancer? with her then
11-year-old granddaughter, Tessa
Mae Hamermesh.
This was the follow-up to her debut
tome, I Can Do This: Living With
Cancer, Tracing a Year of Hope, after
battling recurring cancer for a number
of years.
Now Beverlye, looking the picture
of good health, has taken the sub-
ject a step further with her 15-min-
ute film, Stage IV: Living With Cancer,
which is debuting at the Santa Barbara
International Film Festival this week.
It has been in my head for a
long time, she says. It came about
because I would have loved a doctor
to present me with this DVD when I
was diagnosed.
At first, I wanted to do a book
about survivors with photographs
showing how great they all looked,
but, as I interviewed, I realized people
had to see for themselves the health
and vibrancy of the survivors, so it
had to be a film.
After talking to a number of foun-
dations, Beverlye received funding
of $18,000 and with the help of local
Growing Pains actress Joanna Kerns,
got a suitable crew, under director Matt
Walla, together for the two-day shoot at
the Music Academy of the West.
I want people to know that cancer
is different today, explains Beverlye.
Some cancers that were lethal years
ago, if caught early enough and given
the proper protocol, can become a
chronic illness, like heart disease, and
lived with. I want this film to give
people hope on all levels.
Originally, we were going to shoot
a five minute teaser and then make a
long film. But when I saw this fifteen
minutes, I felt it was just perfect the
way it was.
The film screens on Saturday at the
Metro 4 Theatre...
La La La
Montreals La La La Human Steps,
who were the first dance company to
perform in the UCSB Arts & Lectures
series at the Granada after its $60 mil-
lion renovation four years ago, was
back in town to dazzle its audience
with its frenetic movement, ampli-
fied by a darkened stage and jumping
spotlights, giving the show an almost
strobe-like effect.
The 85-minute show, part of the
Anne and Michael Towbes Dance
Series, debuted New Work by founder
and artistic director Edouard Lock,
marking the 30th anniversary of the
companys founding, and using nar-

Since her engagement in November
2010, Kates impact on the millinery

only raising the profile of established
names like Londoner Philip Treacy,
but also up and coming designers.
And though the engagements for

Choice Awards Recipient (Juvenile Fantasy, Myths and Legends), returns on Saturday
morning to read some more during storytime at the shop, 10am-12noon. Ruth Ann
and the Green Blowster is a magical tale and its genesis is also something of legend.
It was originally penned in the 1920s by Luders grandmother, Frances Willey
Beebe, wife of famed Hollywood director Ford Beebe, as a gift for Beebes daughter,
Ruth Ann. But Beebe passed away when Ruth Ann was only a child, leaving the
unfnished fantasy adventure of a young girls struggle with the death of her dog,
Dukey Daddles, shelved for over 70 years. After Luders mother, Ruth Ann (known
to Carpinteria residents as Rudy deVally), passed away, Luders came across the
spellbinding story and began a three-year journey to co-author the childrens chapter

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4
Step back PCPA Theaterfest scored
a big winner with its production of The
39 Steps last summer. Now well see how
Ensemble Theatre fares with the Tony Award-
winning hit Broadway comedy adapted from
the Hitchcock flm, which requires just four
actors to portray 140 characters. Which is
even more amazing when you realize that
one plays only Richard Hannay, a debonair
gentleman who fnds himself unwittingly
caught in the middle of a global conspiracy,
and another portrays just three lead female
roles (meaning the remaining two take on
more than 135 characters both male and female between them). The fast-paced
whodunit merges a spy thriller with farcical comedy and clever theatrical invention as
the character changes come fast, furious and feverishly funny. Guest director Jamie
Torcellini who gave a tour-de-force and hilarious turn in ETCs hit production
of The Mystery of Irma Vep last year, would appear a most apt choice to helm a cast
that includes Broadway veteran Matthew Floyd Miller as Hannay, and longtime
Chicago actress Julie Granata in the lead female roles, with Christopher
Shaw and Louis Lotorto (who appeared in ETCs Opus and Buried Child) taking
on the lightning-quick costume changes playing parts too numerous to mention.

I think its also a new way to watch.
Was it hard to play an actor who was
overacting?
I always work with my body when
I do a character. My parts have often
been very physical. Its how I am in real
life. In the same movie you can be over
the top, and you can also do almost
nothing, just turn off, shut down. The
journey the hot and cold, the arc
were the most interesting parts.
Michel is Brnices husband and the
camera certainly seemed to love her. Was
there any concern that you would be
slighted?
I was jealous in the beginning. I
told him, Youre going to have two
wives on this film. He was intel-
ligent enough to balance all three of
us together. Were all friends in real
life and we talk all the time. So it was
very simple.
Will this experience inform your acting
in other films?
(Laughs) Yes, it will have a big
impact. I dont know about the future,
but there will definitely be a Before
The Artist and after. Its up to me
now to make good choices, follow my
instincts and always find pleasure in
whatever Im doing because I love
acting.
Have you had a lot of requests for the
silent movie interpretations of things
since the movie hit? Do people ask you to
play charades?
All the time. Silent interviews. Or
they put me in black and white. We
havent done a silent one by telephone
yet, though.
Do you now want to make Hollywood
movies?
Im not nave to think I could be an
American actor. But I can do things
that work with my accent and sensi-
bility without being marginalized. I
would love to come back, of course,
because Hollywood is the Vatican of
acting.
Were you surprised at how popular the
film has become?
Im completely shocked. And yes-
terday I was taken by surprise and it
really hasnt sunken in that the other
actors voted for me. Im very proud
because the project is important. But
Im not analyzing it. I want to stay in
the pleasure of the moment. Soon it
will all be over, and it will all come
back like a boomerang, and Ill col-
lapse from sheer joy and the mental
stress. Its what the French call, Rich
peoples problems.
Paul Feig
Director Paul Feig wasnt brand new
to intelligent group comedies with
some drama; he did, after all, help co-
create Freaks and Geeks, the now cult-
classic series about high school angst.
But nobody could have imagined
the soaring success hed find with
Bridesmaids, which is about the outra-
geously funny foibles of five females
on a pre-wedding journey. The film
earned Academy Award nominations
for actress Melissa McCarthy, who
will receive SBIFFs Vanguard Award
with five other actors on Friday night,
and for co-writer Kristen Wiig (who
also stars). Feig will participate in the
Directors Panel on Saturday morning.
Q. Youve been working with Judd
Apatow since Freaks and Geeks days.
What makes that relationship work?
A. Weve known each other since we
were stand-ups together, back when
he was seventeen. We complement
each other, because we have a very
similar sense of humor and a similar
style of storytelling grounded and
realistic, and once you have that core
you tell it in the funniest way you can.
I remember when Freaks and Geeks
came out and Time magazine said
called it hilarious and soul crush-
ing, the joke was that he was hilari-
ous and I was soul crushing. When
we get together, its a good system of
checks and balance.
His movies have always been thought of
as made for men, while Bridesmaids has
a particularly female point of view. Is it
because you get women?
I have always had a very femi-
nine point of view on the world. On
Freaks I wrote mostly for Lindsay, as
a way to funnel my thirty-something
angst through someone in the same
emotional level as me you know, a
smart sixteen-year-old girl. I grew up
around a lot of girls. All my friends
were girls. I was in drama, always
hanging with the girls. I found their
humor funnier. Guys humor was
always too much about punching
each other and putting each other
down. I never related to that. Girls
were more supportive, trying to make
each other laugh by doing voices
or singing, with a real camaraderie
about it. I was sent a lot of scripts
about guys trying to get laid, and I
really dont relate to the idea of being
so sex-obsessed, the locker room talk.
But Bridesmaids felt very natural.
You didnt write this, and youre a
guy, but do you see yourself in the story
somewhere?
Yeah, I feel very close to the char-
acters. Kristens character is relatable
to anybody. Id gone through some
of the same things where life is going
well then youre in the pit. I really like
those girls. The friendships are great.
It really works. You want that too. So I
felt close to it all.

HEALING SPECIALIST
Similarly, why do you think the movie
has done so well with both sexes?
Women really relate to it because
its them being honest and talk-
ing like they actually do with their
friends. Its sad that they dont get to
see that very often because womens
movies tend to be over-scripted
But the story at its heart isnt male or
female. Movies about women have
often been so cloying, but this is just
a relatable story that happens to star
women. The men got dragged along
and then found out it was really
funny.
Talk about casting. They almost didnt
seem like they were acting. Did you guys
stick religiously to the script or was there
room for improvising?
A lot. When I direct I create an envi-
ronment even technically, by shoot-
ing both people at the same time in
which they can be loose and make
things their own. You cant do improv
without a strong road map, and we
had that if we just shot the script it
would have been a really good movie.
But I like things to sound very natural.
So when we cast we looked for people
who were good at improv. And we tell
them dont be religious about it. We
dont want it word for word. We want
to see your personality, inhabit the role.
Melissa McCarthy. Just where did that
performance come from?
It came from heaven. We had seen
a lot of people for the role, and they
were some really top actors. They
were all great. But Melissa came in
and just blew us away, doing that
character with the ambiguousness. At
first I thought she was playing it gay,
then she was getting all sexual talking
about guys. And we hadnt thought
of that take on the character. By the
rehearsal process, it became clear we
had something great and we knew we
had to do more with her.

And the famous scene?
It works because it was set up
correctly. Taking a [crap] in a sink
wouldnt be funny if you werent
emotionally invested in her trying

Paul Feig, seen here on the set of Bridesmaids with star Kristen Wiig, will participate at SBIFFs

for Best Actor, and will be receiving the SBIFFs Virtuosos Award Friday night at the Arlington
Bridesmaids has been nominated for an Academy
Award for Best Original Screenplay
so hard not to screw things up at all.
Its not just vomit and poop flying
everywhere Its the comedy of over-
whelming evidence.
Demin Bichir
Demin Bichir is a widely cele-
brated actor in Mexico, but its likely
youll best recognize him from TVs
Weeds, where he played the mob-
connected mayor of Tijuana through
2010. But those who caught him in
last years powerful indie, A Better
Life, know why the actor was nomi-
nated for an Academy Award for best
actor for his role as Carlos, an ille-
gal immigrant trying to improve his
sons chances in life. Bichir and five
other actors receive SBIFFs Virtuosos
Award Friday night at the Arlington.
Q. How did you prepare for this role?
As a star actor, you havent had the same
experiences.
A. Im really close to the immigra-
tion issue. Im an immigrant myself
and I talk to them all the time every
day everywhere I can. We relate to
each other through our country and
the films Ive done in Mexico. When
I hear their stories I always listen. So
when I got the part, I spent time driv-
ing around Beverly Hills, and when-
ever I saw a truck with gardening
equipment Id stop and talk and ask
them their stories. They showed me
how to perform those skills to be a real
gardener, including going up a tree to
trim the palm leaves. But that was just
the physical part. For the emotional
ride that Carlos takes, I had to go
inside. And we spent lots of times in
rehearsal in our characters to create
the relationship we had on film.
Did it help to stay in character during
the shoot?
It did. I dont like to step out of the
concentration. I grow my own beard,
or shave my head if the character
needs it. You dont want to shoot
during the day as one person and
then see another face in the mirror
at night when youre brushing your
teeth. You want to be the same guy
when you wake up in the morning.
And I didnt drive my own car, either,
but got a beat up truck so I could feel
what Carlos feels. It all helps to set
the mood.
Is the film helping to change the conver-
sation about immigration? Can movies
still affect us that way?
Part of all this attention were get-
ting is raising our hopes that some-
thing can happen. Our greatest wish
is that people will be curious to at
least see the film and maybe spread
the word. I do believe in the power
of cinema, the way a film can change
your perspective. Thats whats been
happening. As people see it on DVD
the talk is growing.
So whats the solution? I know youre
not a politician, but do you have any
ideas?
Theres one fact that it is undeni-
able. There are eleven million human
beings from Mexico living in this
country. Theyre here. Everyone talks
about homeland security. If we are
able to give everyone a face and a
name, and documents, then we will
know who is feeding our kids, cook-
ing the foods, working our gardens,
parking our cars, and you can feel
safer And politicians need to stop
lying about whats going on. They tell
the American public that immigrants
are the new enemy and that immi-
grants are taking Americans jobs. But
its not the truth. No one wants those
jobs, and fruit is rotting in the fields
(wherever there is enforcement). So
reform is needed.
Can we talk about Weeds? Your char-
acter was a lot of fun, but was also really
multidimensional, wrestling with moral
issues, just like everyone on the show.
So many sides that you never knew who
to root for. And then you were killed off-
screen before last season. Was that your
choice?
Thats why I loved that show. Its
real. They told everything by real
people. No one disguised anything.
You had to think for yourself [As far
as my character] no one saw my body,
right? So Im not saying anything, but
remember that.
