Inside Montecito Fire
M
ontecito depends on the courage and skill of its paramedics, frefghters,
fre specialists, fre engineers, captains and chiefs to protect homes and
lives from wind-driven wildfres and medical emergencies. We are
fortunate to have fremen who are not only friends and good stewards of public
safety, but are also pancake chefs on the 4th of July, and drivers of big red fre
engines loaded with junior frefghters in the Montecito parade.
May 30 marked the retirement of one of the most popular public persona
in Montecito, the affable Kevin Wallace, former Chief of the Montecito Fire
Protection District (MFPD). Chief Wallace began his firefighter career in 1981 as
a Santa Barbara County "Hot Shot," followed by a stint in Greeley, Colorado as
an engineer, before returning to Santa Barbara in 1983, and being named Chief
in 2007. After six years as Montecito Fire Chief, Wallace turned over the reins of
leadership to his former Battalion Chief, Stephen "Chip" Hickman, who was
born and raised in the area, graduated from San Marcos High School and began
his career at MFPD in 1990 as one of the District's first paramedic firefighters.
Fire Management in Montecito
For the last 97 years, MFPD has been governed by three Board members.
The current Fire Board consists of the 37-year veteran, Roy Jensen, who
joined the Fire Board in 1975; John Venable, who joined the Board in 2002;
and Dana Newquist, who joined the Board in 2003. Together, they oversee the
21.7-square-mile independent Montecito Fire Protection District, established in
June 1917 with its $15.2 million annual budget and 45 full-time employees.
MFPD is well-managed with a sound strategic plan and funded by a fixed
portion of annual Montecito property taxes, which in 2011-12 amounted to $13.5
million. Additional funding comes from carryovers from the previous year and
small amounts of federal reimbursements from out-of-district firefights and
dispatch services for Carpinteria Fire. Salaries and benefits account for 72%
of MFPD expenses. Fire Station 3 will be funded from an $8-million capital
account. There is also a $1.2-million capital fund for replacement of fire vehicles
and equipment. MFPD consistently operates within budget.
A ballot initiative will be presented to Montecito voters in November 2012
to increase the Fire Board from 3 to 5 members. If Montecito residents vote to
expand the Fire Board, they will be asked to choose knowledgeable candidates
who can make the tough choices between support for firefighters and concern
for taxpayers. Expanding the Board by two members will facilitate better man-
agement oversight. It allows the Board to have meaningful discussions, even
when one member is absent. Expansion of the Board also provides an opportu-
nity to create a Finance Committee, which could engage in collective bargaining
agreements with the Montecito Firemen's Association for pension programs,
compensation, healthcare benefits and work rules.
Challenges and Choices
So what kind of expertise might be needed on an expanded Fire Board? Every
California community is beginning to take a closer look at wages, benefits and
pensions paid to public sector employees. Labor agreements adopted in good
times have become unsustainable. California cities, counties and special dis-
tricts are being pushed to the fiscal brink by rising public pension costs, explod-
ing healthcare expenses and stagnant property tax revenues.
California voters in San Jose and San Diego in June approved measures to
curtail public employee pension programs, but these efforts will be challenged
in California courts. Three California cities have filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy;
San Bernardino, facing a deficit of more than $45 million on a $135-million
budget, doesn't have enough money in the bank to pay its police and firemen;
Mammoth Lakes, facing a $43-million breach-of-contract judgment, can't pay its
salaries and pension benefits; and Stockton, which was spending $13 million on
public pensions 10 years ago, paid $30 million in 2010. Stockton's public pen-
sion liability will double again in five years.
Montecito is not a city and its Fire District is currently well funded, but there
are severe challenges and painful choices to be made in fire policy and in future
funding. If we are to ever get the cost structure of government under control,
provide public services at a reasonable cost and make the needed investments
in education and infrastructure, conscientious citizens need to step up and
volunteer for important public posts such as the Board of the Montecito Fire
Protection District. MJ

process with a number of interviews
and did very well.
They learned about my compa-
ny through another local bounty
hunter, Bob Burton, who now lives
down in West Palm Beach, Florida.
We both appeared on NBCs Today
show with news anchor Lester Holt
last year.
We have shot four episodes so
far and they have been getting good
viewing figures.
Its all real and everything is shot
as you see it. There are no scripts, no
retakes. Its one hundred percent real
life drama.
The former marine, who was also
a military police officer at Camp
Pendleton near San Diego, was one of
the first Eagle scouts in the Manning
Park troop and later became the assis-
tant scoutmaster.
I always felt I needed to be in some
kind of law enforcement after quitting
the marines in 1992, adds Chris. I
had been approached by Bob Burton
in the eighties about being a bounty
hunter, but didnt think it was up my
alley at the time.
But in 2000, I changed my mind
and got my bail and fugitive recov-
ery licenses and started a company,
Coastal Bail Bonds, with a good
friend.
Now Chris, who lives in Ojai, is
looking to capture an audience!...
Never a Bridesmaid
For once in her life, top actress
Kirsten Dunst had a supporting role
at an event.
The 30-year-old Spider-Man star was
maid of honor at the wedding of her
best friend, Molly Hanrahan to Clint
Stapleton, at a Montecito estate just a
tiaras toss from Butterfly Beach at the
weekend.
Dunst, says my mole with the marti-
ni, wore a full-length white and oyster
pink dress and a wreath of lavender in
her hair, while the bride looked stun-
ning in a full length white gown with
a bodice of vintage lace, carrying a
bouquet of white lilies.

The best little paper in America
(Covering the best little community anywhere!)
W
hile we unfortunately have
come to expect the worst
from our politicians, the
performance of our current President
and the Vice President and their
surrogates during the beginning of
the Presidential campaign has sunk
to a new low. While one could expect
the administration to try to defect
attention from their dismal record on
all fronts during the frst three and
one half years, even the most cynical
would not have expected this type
of behavior. This nation was built on
each of us wanting to be successful
and in general rooting for the success
of our fellow citizens.
A roar is made up of a thousand
whispers and most of us could care
less whose whispers contribute to the
collective roar. It is for that reason the
Obama Presidency is so flawed and
in many ways works to destroy the
very framework and value system
that made our country the greatest
in the world. Again based on the fact
that they cant run on their own record
they chose to attack Mitt Romney by
using half truths and some cases out-
right lies.
Everyone in politics should be held
to the same standard. Mr. Romneys
exemplary record on creating jobs is
challenged and misrepresented by
an administration that has the worst
record in recent memory on job cre-
ation. This terrible record on job cre-
ation is made even worse given the
trillion dollars of stimulus that was
made available to help people get back
to work. Mr. Obama and Mr. Bidens
claim that Mr. Romney used outsourc-
ing as one of his prime methods to
become wealthy is absurd and just
wrong. This, coming from a President
who not only has presided over the
outsourcing of jobs but has provided
funding for those companies to whom
the jobs have been outsourced.
Mr. Obama talks about how he
saved the auto industry. He neglects
to mention that he saved Chrysler and
specifically General Motors by abro-
gating contract law and trampling the
rights of the bondholders so he could
enrich the unions.
Whether by design or by having
a fundamental misunderstanding of
what has made this country great,
our President has decided to double
down on the class warfare strategy. He
promised to unite us regardless of our
race, color, creed or political affilia-
tion. It would certainly appear that he
has been no more successful in bring-
ing us together then he has succeeded
in any of his other initiatives.
Ralph T. Iannelli
Montecito
(Editors note: Romneys best response
to Obamas twisted and manipulative
accusations has been aired, and that is
Obamas own words suggesting the kind
of campaign he is actually waging and the
kind of tactic one must take when one has
no record to stand upon. It will get uglier
and more depressing as the weeks tick off
to November 6, but it is important to keep
the faith. We believe Mitt Romney will be
the ultimate though bloodied victor J.B.)
Viva! John Roberts
David McCalmont of Santa Barbara
(re: Bags Are Packed, Letters to
the Editor MJ # 18/28) can relax,
unpack his bags, and cancel his one-
way Lisbon ticket thanks entirely
to Chief Justice John Roberts' wit and
ingenuity. This is a history-making
moment, shifting the balance of power
from swing-voter Justice Kennedy to
the Chief Justice himself. By correctly
labeling ObamaCare as a "tax" and not
a penalty, John Roberts has fundamen-
tally changed the very dynamic (and
outcome) of this vital election: from a
nanny state to a merit-based society.
Oscar Wilde wrote over a century
ago: Let us call things by their prop-
er names. It makes matters simpler
(and far less distorting). The scath-
ing reaction of Justice Ginsburg (the
little old lady w/the doily around her
neck) profoundly reveals how irked
the liberals were by this tax nomen-
clature pure poison to the 51% of the
American population who are actual
tax payers, as opposed to the 49% who
are dependent and have no skin in the
game. Was I the only one who noticed
a lack of bounce in President Obama's
step as he strolled down the very same
I killed Bin Laden corridor in the
White House to reach the microphone?
Can you imagine the indignation and
outrage he would have shown had
ObamaCare been shot down by a 5-4
Supreme Court ruling? Forget about
the constant class-warfare mongering
going on. Obama would be invok-
ing the liberal Gore vs. Bush Supreme
Court (5-4 in Bush's favor) debacle as
morally unjust, biased and trs dj
vu.
Chief Justice John Roberts, through
this one courageous bold move, has
not only distinguished himself his-
torically for all time, but, in addition,
has managed to remove the winds
beneath Obama's sails. Bravo. Well
done.
Viva! Chief Justice John Roberts.
Viva freedom, Justice and the American
Way of Life!

(Editors note: You must be one of those
glass half-full folks, because we see
nothing in this decision that is positive for
taxpayers or the country J.B.)
Marco Rubio no
There is no doubt Senator Marco
Rubio would be an exciting and
effective Vice Presidential candidate,
but it cannot happen for one simple
Constitutional reason: his parents
did not become naturalized citizens
until he was two years old.
That fact also disqualifies Mr.
Obama as his father was not a citi-
zen, unless he was actually Frank
Marshall Davis and not Kenyan
Barack Hussein Obama Sr. This
would, of course make Mr. Obama
First Bastard, hence all the funny
business over birth certificates.
In the final analysis: Republicans
must stand for principle, the
Constitution, the flag and Rush
Limbaugh.
The Rubios may have been in the
process of becoming citizens at the
time he was born, but that does not
satisfy the Constitution unless Chief
Justice John Roberts says its okay.
Then anything can happen. Pigs fly.
Nancy Pelosi is a real person. David
Brooks says Sarah Palin would be a
great President because of the sharp-
ness of the pleats in her skirt.
Given Senator Rubios consider-
able speaking skills, the clarity of
his mind, that uh never passes his
lips and he is free of a Harvard lisp,
he could still serve as Vice President
Consort; an extra-Constitutional
office. So much has been done ex-
Constitution by the current admin-
istration that we should be able to
swing this with an ex-post-facto
Executive Order.
On the day of the inauguration,
we will have George Washingtons
writing desk on the stage, swear in
Mitt Romney, have him sit at said
desk, sign the Executive Order cre-
ating the new office. Then, Senator
Rubio swears in as Vice President
Consort, as a missing man for-
mation of stealth F-17s fly over,
signifying America, The Game" as
the Marine Corps band plays The
Washington Post march. (Pronounce
the "p." It is politically correct now.)
In the event President Romney is
unable to complete his term, Speaker
Boehner becomes President after a
good cry and an election is held in
his district with Senator Rubio run-

ning either unopposed or against

Democrat. We will, of course, have
given VP Consort Rubio an address
in Speaker Boehners district in
preparation.
This means VP Consort Rubio
becomes Speaker of the House and
we appoint Rush Limbaugh VP
to give every liberal heart failure.
He can broadcast daily from Blair
House between attending funerals,
the traditional VP duty. It is the per-
fect plan to deal with the question,
?Rubio Si o' Rubio No?"
Adrian Vance
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: Marco Rubio was born
in the good old U.S.A., and as far as
we know that is enough to qualify as a
natural born citizen; besides, Senator
Rubios personal story and that of his
parents is not only compelling, but is
one nearly every immigrant family can
and will relate to J.B.)
Single-Payer
Right Approach
In a recent editorial response to
a letter from Paulina Conn regard-
ing Improved Medicare for All
Needed (MJ # 18/28), you indicate
that your editorial position is con-
tingent on physicians responding to
the current crisis and weighing in on
how to fix it.
I think you miss the main point,
which is that what Ms Conn is
addressing is the way in which we
finance health care, that is, pay for
it, and not specifically how it is
delivered, which is the purview of
the providers such as physicians.
It is very clear, from multiple U.S.
studies and the real world experi-
ence of other wealthy countries, that
our hodgepodge system for paying
for our health care not only does not
work, but never will regardless of
how many market fixes we throw
at it.
A single comprehensive plan for
all individuals with a single agen-
cy paying all bills is the optimum
solution for financing things like
health care (and the military, for
example). How the care is deliv-
ered is another matter; suffice it
to say that many improvements in
this arena are enabled by the single-
payer single-risk pool approach, and
some improvements are impossible
without it.
You might also be interested in
how businesses perceive their stake
in this. I can't speak for all business-
es, other than to assert that if they
knew the possibilities they would be
completely on board, but I can speak
for mine. An endorsement by my
company of the California Universal
Healthcare Act is attached.
Very truly yours,
Bart Woolery
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: The following was
sent to State Senator Mark Leno in
Sacramento.
Dear Senator Leno:
I am writing to express my busi-
ness support for SB 810, the California
Universal Healthcare Act, which will
cover every Californian with compre-
hensive health insurance and give them
the ability to choose their own physi-
cian. This model of health care financing
will save money for families, businesses,
individuals and local governments.
Although this is truly a non-partisan
issue, I feel it necessary to mention that
I am a registered Republican. My busi-
ness supports SB 810 because the single
greatest problem facing Californias
healthcare system and Californias
economy is the growing cost of health
insurance. The number of uninsured
Californians has now reached 20%.
Most of the newly uninsured are from
middle-class families. Our business is
facing a minimum increase of 8% in our
insurance costs just this year alone.
If spent wisely through the single
payer finance system under SB 810, we
need no more money than is currently
spent on health care.
1) It covers everyone;
2) its affordable;
3) It guarantees that the majority of
our money goes to actual health care;
4) It provides real choice;
5) It improves the quality of our
health care.
My business, which employs 16 work-
ers, strongly supports SB 810.
Sincerely,
Tom Maccianti
General Manager

Per your note on the cop waiting

he's not there for anyone wanting to

Montecito Caf Celebrates 25 Years
Village Beat
by Kelly Mahan

A
s a young couple just out of
culinary school, Mark and
Margaret Huston set their
sights on Montecito as the place to
begin both their careers and family.
Thirty years later, their two Santa
Barbara restaurants are thriving with
the help of their three children; this
year marks the 25th anniversary of
the Hustons frst endeavor, Montecito
Caf.
Its definitely a family affair, Mrs.
Huston told us earlier this week, dur-
ing a break between lunch and din-
ner service. Margaret manages the
Caf, while her executive chef hus-
band, Mark, plans and executes the
menu. The duo opened the eatery on
Christmas Eve, 1986, after working
at the San Ysidro Ranch, Montecito
Coffee Shop, Downeys, and Brigittes.
We knew we wanted to open our
own place, and this was the per-
fect spot, she says. Located inside
Montecito Inn, the space was formerly
Chaplins, more of a lounge than a res-
taurant, Mark says. The hotel owner
at the time was a friend of the Huston
family, and gave the young couple the
opportunity to turn the place around.
The bistro fare served at the popu-
lar restaurant has evolved over time,
the Hustons say. And so has the fam-
ily: Jane, Emma and Ben have all
grown up helping out at the Caf, and
are now intimately involved with the
Cafs little sister restaurant Jane,
located next to the Arlington Theater
in Santa Barbara. Jane has exceed-
ed our expectations; it has had quite
the reception from our customers,
says Margaret about the spin off res-
taurant, which opened in 2008. The
restaurants namesake and manager,
oldest daughter Jane Chapman, has
recently added a new generation to
the family; Pearl Mae was born this
summer.
The formula is pretty simple,
Margaret says. Give people quality,
value, and good service, and theyll
come back. This is a casual place,
and people feel comfortable here, she
adds, as the last of the lunch crowd
disperses. The ingredients used at the
Caf are local, and almost everything
is made in-house. The menu includes
pastas, sandwiches, salads, and burg-
ers, as well as seafood, lamb, filet and
chicken entres. Specials change daily,
and feature the freshest fish, caught
locally.

versary this year

Friends of the Courthouse
T
he Courthouse has friends in
Santa Barbara to the tune of
$800,000; all donations were
raised by the Courthouse Legacy
Foundation (CLF). Thats how much
was needed to redo the crumbling
Spirit of the Ocean sculpture fountain.
Also completed was the restoration
of the Seth Thomas Tower Clock and
creation of the Bisno Schall Clock
Gallery that includes a beautiful mural
on the walls surrounding the clock
works, telling the history of time.
Thanks go to Dr. David Bisno and
Fay, and Dick and Maryan Schall for
this great addition to the docent tours.
CLF board of trustees chair Bill
Mahan led the countdown to the clock
chiming at 11:00 am. At the sound of
the eleventh chime, everyone held
their breath until the water came
pouring into the fountain, right on
schedule. The grass, however, didnt
grow on schedule so the plaque,
which commemorates this day, was
temporarily on the sidewalk and was
unveiled there.
Bill Mahan gave a short speech and
Salud Carbajal remembered Naomi
Schwartz and how her office over-
looked this very spot. It was aptly
named the Spirit of the Ocean because
Naomi cared about the environment.
She was the founder of the CLF and
its first president.
Former mayor Sheila Lodge told
me, The original Courthouse only
cost $1.3 million when it was built in
1929. The fountain alone cost nearly
that much in 2011!
The board and members were beam-
ing with the results of all their effort
along with the event committee: chair
Alice Van de Water, Herb Barthels,
Keith Mautino, Bill Mahan, Carol
Fell, Sue Adams, Rodney Baker,
Barbara Lowenthal and Jean Scheibe.
Our Courthouse is considered
one of the most beautiful govern-
ment buildings in America and is a
National Historic Landmark. If youd
like to keep it that way (there are
no funds for preservation), you can
join the non-profit Friends of the
Courthouse for as little as $40. Visit
www.SBCLF.org for more informa-
tion. As they say, The Community
built the CourthouseTogether we
are creating the Legacy.

Celebrating the Best
The South Coast Business &
Technology Awards (a benefit for
the Scholarship Foundation of Santa
Barbara) was founded in 1995 and
honors those individuals and compa-
nies who have shown extraordinary
commitment to helping the economy
of the south coast of Santa Barbara
County. It not only honors, but also
has raised $1.3 million for scholarships
for more than 550 students who want
to attend UCSB, SBCC and Westmont
College.
There were about 800 folks who
supported this event the big-
gest ever which will raise more
than $125,000. The rotunda at Fess
Parkers Doubletree was full of
people networking during cocktail
hour. The ballroom was packed with
tables for ten. As co-chair and presi-
dent and CEO of American Riviera
Bank Jeff DeVine said, This awards
dinner has it all. Honoring, net-
working and supporting our future
business leaders through scholar-
ships. Co-chair Danna McGrew
from Bartlett, Pringle & Wolf, LLP
echos, My partners and I are proud
to be part of such a dynamic event.
A Steering Committee of 28 Santa
Barbara business leaders managed the
event. The members vote to present
the annual awards. This years win-
ners were MIT Enterprise Forum for
Excellence in Service presented by
Lynda Tanner from Visiting Nurse
& Hospice Care; Entrepreneur of the
Year was Klaus Schauser presented by
Bruce Willard; Company of the Year
Mission Linen was presented by Dan
ODowd from Green Hills Software;
Executive of the Year Ron Werft pre-
sented by Michael Mayfield from

Bank & Trust. Other sponsors were
COX, Union Bank, Bartlett, Pringle
& Wolf, Montecito Bank & Trust and
Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton.
Past scholarship recipient Max
Ramirez spoke of his gratitude espe-
cially since tuition has doubled in

Bruce Willard thought, Launching
a business is like giving a party and
hoping someone comes.
Winner Klaus confessed, I have
more wet suits than business suits. In

responded, I have only one wet suit

The new Vic
It has long been my dream that
Santa Barbara have a beautiful, inti-
mate theater in the downtown per-
forming arts district, and that it would
become the new home for Ensemble
Theatre Company, wished Leni Fe
Bland, campaign co-chair for the New
Vic. Co-chair Derek Westen echoed,
The New Vic will be the ideal home
for Ensemble Theatre Company, pro-
viding extraordinary artistic freedom,

venue for all the performing arts.
The Ensemble has graced our town
for 33 years.
Invited guests met at the old Vic
for one of several tours of the prop-
erty prior to groundbreaking. With a
glass of wine in hand, Derek began by
telling us what was wrong with the
old theatre: too high, too wide, audi-
ence too separated, lobby too narrow,
entrance too difficult, no stage left
with bathrooms almost literally on
stage, a labyrinth where the dressing
rooms are, and more. Then we saw the
architectural renderings and walked
through the whole building.
The building will look the same on
the outside (historically), but they will
build a landing into the street where

and people. The street is extra wide so
the cars will park beside the landing.
There is a lovely small courtyard that
most of us have never seen that will
be utilized on production nights. The
300 seats will all be together instead of
separated by aisles. The rake will be
corrected. The bathrooms will be near
the box office at the entrance so there
will once more be a stage left and
everyone in the audience wont know
where youre going. New dressing
rooms will be added, and on and on.

tects are PMSM, who have an excel-
lent reputation having done the air-

Music Academy. Everything is in

lion of the needed $10,550 million.
Some of the first major donors were
Michael Towbes, Leni Fe Bland and
Sara Miller McCune. Board president
Christine Holland recognized that
the board had unanimously donated
as well. It is the culmination of ten
years of work to find a permanent
home. Most importantly, it will com-
plete Santa Barbaras performing arts
center with venues of every size from
2,000 seats at the Arlington to 1,600 at
the Granada and 600 at the Lobero.
Ensemble can rent the Vic out for
much less than it costs for the larger
venues.
The theatre is due to be finished
in October 2013. There are still nam-
ing opportunities, so call Director of
Development Mehgan Fay Tanner at
965-5400, ext. 105 if you have ques-

Artistic Director Jonathan Fox
reminded us, We wouldnt be here

navigated the many legal matters in the
long project. Jonathan has also raised
the bar on the Ensembles repertoire.
He is so highly thought of that friends

Makeover Madness
Montecito realtor Diana MacFarlane
is a great fan of NBCs Today show,
particularly after her son, Dan, and
his family vacationed in Manhattan
earlier this month.
Dan, a firefighter, was with his sub-
stitute teacher wife, Teri, and their
three sons Griffin, 15, Logan, 11,
and Tanner, 10 and went to a broad-
cast of the top-rated morning show at
Rockefeller Center and immediately
made friends with one of the NBC
organizers, a retired New York fire-
fighter.
Within a few minutes of arriv-
ing, Teri was approached and asked
if shed like to be part of the shows
Ambush Makeover, which airs on
the segment hosted by Kathie Lee
Gifford and Hoda Kotb, says Diana.
She volunteered and was whisked
away to begin her transformation.
The good news was she was getting
a makeover, the bad news was she had
reluctantly got up at the crack of dawn
to be there, planning to return to their
hotel for the rest of their adventures
that day. Teri was not too thrilled
with her before photo because that
is really not how she usually goes out
in public, but she was a good sport.
The family, who were blindfolded,
also had the opportunity to be in the
studios as Teri was transformed by
celebrity crimper, Louis Licari, and
top stylist, Enid O.
She loved everything that had been
done to her and was given the formula
for her new hair color and makeup, as
well as the Maggy London designer
dress she wore. My grandsons never
expected to be on national TV, so they
had a thrill they will never forget.
Diana is now following in Teris
footsteps.
I cant wait to go to Louis Licaris
salon when I travel to New York for
Fashion Week in September! she tells
me...
Quite an Honor
Longtime Montecito French teacher,
Mary Collier, is receiving quite an
accolade for her services to the coun-
try of France.
Mary, who has been a language
coach at the Music Academy of the

for more than three decades, is being
knighted as a Chevalier dans lOrdre
des Palmes Academiques by the
French Consul General in Los Angeles,
David Martinon, at a ceremony at the
Miraflores campus next month.
I was nominated by Fred Sidon,
the former president of Opera Santa
Barbara, for promoting the language
and literature, says Mary. I have
always had this connection to France
and studied at the University of Paris.
For the past forty years I have lived
there a great deal on summer vaca-
tions and sabbaticals, particularly in
Paris, where I have a lot of friends.

Your Westmont

by Scott Craig (photos by Brad Elliott)
D
r. David Newton, who has
taught entrepreneurial fnance
at Westmont for 22 years, has
been appointed provost at Kings
College in New York City, where he
earned a bachelors degree in 1981. He
begins the position January 1, 2013.
We will miss Dave very much and
congratulate him on this marvelous
new opportunity, says Westmont
President Gayle D. Beebe. He has
made a significant contribution to
our economics and business depart-
ment, establishing himself as a national
expert in the study of entrepreneur-
ship. In particular, he has been a pio-
neer in blending entrepreneurship
with liberal arts education.
Newtons most recent book, Crisis
of Confidence, utilized the research of
seven Westmont economics and busi-
ness students who graduated this year.
In June, Newton appeared on CNNs
Your Money with Ali Velshi, discussing
the book, which examines the current
state of federal taxes, runaway defi-
cit spending, the huge national debt,
interest on the debt, inflation, GDP and
insolvent entitlement programs.
In 2010, Newton co-authored Job
Creation: How it Really Works and Why
Government Doesnt Understand It with
Andrew Puzder, chief executive of
CKE Restaurants Inc.
Newton has also been featured on
Fox News, talk radio programs, and
at Young Americas Foundation, the
Reagan Ranch Center, as well as cham-
bers of commerce and venture forums.
He is a member of the Board of
Directors for The Freedoms Foundation
at Valley Forge, a prestigious national
educational organization. Previously,
the foundation honored Newton
with its Leavey National Award
for Excellence in Private Enterprise
Education.
Newton directed the Spirit of
Entrepreneurship and Enterprise
Development (S.E.E.D.) National
Collegiate Venture Forum, which he
launched in October 2003.
He earned an MBA in finance at
the Sawyer Business School at Suffolk
University in Boston and a doctor-
ate in entrepreneurial finance at the
Graduate School of Business at United
States International University in San
Diego.
Olympic-Bound Tooch
Westmonts Tugce Canitez will com-
pete in the 2012 Summer Olympics,
representing her native Turkey in
womens basketball. She becomes the
third Westmont student-athlete to
compete on the Olympic stage.
I am so excited for Tugce and the
opportunity she has to represent her
country, says Westmont head coach
Kirsten Moore. I can think of no
greater honor as an athlete than to rep-
resent your country at the Olympics.
Turkey earned a berth into the
Olympics by defeating Argentina 72-58
on June 29. Canitez scored 11 points
and had seven rebounds in 29 minutes
of action in three qualifying games.
The day that she qualified was
the day that I was giving birth, so I
didnt get to watch that game, but I
did watch the first two games, Moore
says. Every time she had an oppor-
tunity she helped her team and was a
difference maker.
Moores baby, Alexis Rene Moore,
was born June 29, weighing 6 pounds,
2 ounces and measuring 19 inches
long.
Turkeys first Olympic game is
against Angola on Saturday, July 28, at
6:30 a.m. (PDT) in London.
I am so proud of her, said
Westmont team captain Jillian Wilber.
She has worked so hard and I am
thrilled for her. It is great for our pro-
gram to have someone representing us
in the Olympics. It is something she
really wanted because she didnt get to
play for the national team in the past.
Canitez will return to Westmont this
fall for her senior season of collegiate
play.
Westmont alumnus Paul Herman
represented the U.S. in 1964, placing
fourth in the decathlon, which was
the best showing by an American that
year.
Westmont sprinter Jean-Louis
Ravelomanantsoa of Madagascar com-
peted in three Olympics. In the 1964
Tokyo games, he ran in both the 100 and
200 meters, but did not reach the finals.
In 1968 he competed in Mexico City in
the same events, reaching the finals of
the 100 meter race and placing eighth.
At Munich in 1972, Ravelomanantsoa
reached the semifinals of the 100 meters
and also competed in the 4 x 100 meter
relays. MJ

The Caf is well known for home-
made desserts, including its popular
cheesecake, lemon tart, and coconut
cake. Pastries are made daily in the
kitchen located in the charming bar
area across the Inns driveway; the
Hustons acquired that space about 15
years ago. The Bar is a casual lounge,
featuring menu items including burg-
ers, house-made pizza and cocktails.
Montecito Caf is a local favorite,
but Margaret says the location just off
the 101 freeway lends itself to travel-
ers who make the 60-seat eatery a des-
tination. We meet people who often
travel from L.A. to the Central Coast,
and always stop in for lunch or at least
a slice of cake, Margaret says. When
youve been here this long, people
start putting you on their routes, she
laughs. The place is also popular with
young families they offer a kids
menu and the retired crowd, which
enjoys the large tables and cushioned
seats.
The restaurant features a full bar
and extensive wine list, with wine spe-
cials changing monthly. All year long
the Hustons are celebrating their 25th
year; champagne toasts are offered
with dessert. The eatery is open for
lunch every day from 11:30 am to 2:30
pm, with dinner every night from 5:30
pm to 10 pm.

Just The Facts, Maam
For months, we waited on the nine
Justices of the Supreme Court. On
Monday, June 25, like King Solomon,
they divided the immigration issue
in two. Part for Arizona and part
for the Federal Government. They
did not address the failure of the
Federal Government to carry out its
Constitutional duties. Instead of a
message, they like the ladies who
tempted Odysseus sang a Sirens
song, drawing our Ship of State on
to rocks.
Recently, they once again stepped
up to the plate, and struck out. On
National Health, as in Immigration,
they divided the baby into parts.
Unlike Solomon, they failed. Wisdom
is not theirs. Once again the majority
failed to take the bit by the teeth
and run. Given a chance to clear the
table and follow the Constitution
they sidestepped, like Matadors. We
are the animals in the ring. It is our
blood they let. Their failures are a
grievous wound to our Founders
and our Republic.
Why has the Court turned into
this mush face, soft soap, do nothing
serious, overpaid bunch of compro-
misers? The answer is simple: if you
can accept the fact that our country
is badly divided. There are those
who want to enforce the Constitution
and those who do not. Take a deep
breath. Yes, about half of Americans
do not want a United States. For a
variety of reasons these people want
something that has always failed to
protect the individual. They want a
Supreme power that tells them when
to wake, to work, to make love, to
die and what child can be born. Our
House of Representatives is now
controlled by Constitutional types.
The Senate is not. The President is
so far out, his orbit is beyond reality.
However; most polls continue to tell
us Obama is admired by about one
half of the population.
What we have is a deep, deep divi-
sion in our Country. Only one side
can win. Coexistence is not possible.
Surrender and subjugation is This
means either the Constitutionalist
win and we preserve our Republic
and its limits on power, or we lose,
and become subjects rather than citi-
zens. Losing means we exist at the
whims of a Supreme power. No
controls.
The options are a civil revolution
now, with no bloodshed, or a chaotic
revolution, (just like our founders
fought against King George III), with
great loss of blood and property.
Your choice.
Congress can change the game.
In Art II, section 2, the Presidents
Constitutional power is limited
to nominating the Justices of the
Supreme Court. The Senate must
advise and consent and failing
that, his nomination goes nowhere.
Congress has the power to set the
stage, and direct who plays what
role. They could easily say that his
appointments, must come from
Federal Appellate judges, or State
Supreme court Justices only. They
could take from him the ability to
nominate lesser judges, or add other
rules to judge qualifications.
To make any changes to protect our
Republic, we need a landslide win
by Constitutionalist in November.
No real victory, means our children
will inherit the wind of chaos. This
Election is it. Win or lose is up to
you.

Peeling the Onion of Character
W
ilkie Collins (1824-89), a
popular thriller writer and
friend of Charles Dickens
during the hurly-burly of Victorian-
era publishing, achieved an admirable
degree of suspense and tension in his
work through the use of a multiple
point-of-view narration.
In one of his most memorable titles
still in print, The Moonstone, the reader
has bought into the reliability and
sincerity of his first narrator, the hand-
some young Franklin Blake, who con-
fides in us his intention to ask Rachel
Verinder to marry him. As the open-
ing segment ends, the Verinder fam-
ily treasure, the moonstone of the
title, has gone missing, and Rachel
Verinder not only accuses Franklin
of stealing it, I saw you take it she
says, with my own eyes.
By the time hed come to The
Moonstone, Collins had learned well
the value of visions of the same event
seen through differing perspectives,
at the same time leaving the matter to
his readers to assess game points for
reliability. What, after all, is a reliable
narrator? Whom do readers trust and
how much? What elephants are being
shoved under convenient rugs?
In her third novel, Gone Girl, from
Crown, Gillian Flynn one-ups her
previous works and Wilkie Collins
with an intriguing study of a mar-
riage, big town versus small town,
and a dazzling dance of reliable ver-
sus unreliable narrator.
The set-up is immediate and clean.
Today is the fifth wedding anniver-
sary of Nick and Amy Dunne. Amy is
already making Nicks favorite break-
fast crepes. Nick is thinking what to
get her for a present and where to
make reservations for dinner later that
night.
When I think of my wife, Nick
Dunne tells us straight off, I always
think of her head. The shape of it, to
begin with. The very first time I saw
her, it was the back of the head I saw,
and there was something lovely about
it, the angles of it.
The next chapter sets the format in
place; it is a diary entry from Amy,
dated back in early January of 2005.
Tra and la! I am smiling a big adopt-
ed-orphan smile as I write this. I am
embarrassed at how happy I am I
met a boy! Of course the boy is Nick.
Now Nick and Amy are married, and
we have some tangible background
on how it is they have come from
Manhattan to this small Missouri
town on the Mississippi River. How
and why theyve come, and what the
effects are on each Nick through
his observation of the present, Amys
diary notes, describing the events
before she is gone.
Until the recent financial bubble
burst, Nick was a successful maga-
zine journalist. Amy was among other
things, a trust fund baby, daughter
of an highly successful husband-wife
psychologist-writing team whod pro-
duced a series of books in which their
Amy was the lead character. Now,
Nick is jobless, co-owner of a bar with
his twin sister, Margo. The bar was
paid for by Amy, who at the time had
close to three-quarters of a million
dollars.
Nicks father, with whom he
has never enjoyed a close relation-
ship, is in a care facility, the victim
of encroaching Alzheimers. Nicks
mother, diagnosed with Stage 4 can-
cer, has recently died.
After a phone call from a neighbor,
who notices unusual activity at Nick
and Amys home, and a subsequent
series of unanswered calls to Amys
cell phone, Nick decides to check.
She wasnt on the water, she wasnt
in the house. Amy was not there. Amy
was gone.
That was page 24; there are 375
pages left in which the onion of
character is peeled and the intrigu-
ing buffer zone between points of
view is given a thorough workout.
A throwaway cell phone in Nicks
pocket buzzes, but he refuses to
answer it. Because of her drop-dead
beauty and bubbly personality, Amy
has had a history of being objectified
by both male and female hangers-
on. Someone Nick could never stand
proclaims herself to have been Amys
best friend. Several thousand dollars
worth of purchases have been racked
up on credit cards of which Nick
claims no knowledge.
Before it comes to an end, we
have solid dramatic reason to root for
and then against all the major play-
ers, including the cops and significant
individuals in Nick and Amys life.
Gone Girl is a bravura performance
in which style, voice, and dramatic
intensity meet in a compelling traf-
fic collision. Youll have no choice
in the matter; youll be called in as a
witness. MJ

Longtime Friends
Former Montecito racing ace Andy
Granatelli has been remembering his
friend of four decades, veteran actor
Ernest Borgnine, who died earlier this
month at the age of 95.
Andy and his wife, Dolly, first
met the Oscar winner at a local
culinary event and they became fast
friends.
To know him was to love him,
says Andy. He always had time for
the little guy. He was quite happy to
sign a thousand autographs, whether
it was for the president or a janitor.
He was the most down to earth
celebrity you could meet. A regular
John Doe. Friendly, happy go lucky,
good natured.
Ernie, as he liked to be called, vis-
ited the Indianapolis 500 a number
of times with the Granatellis and also
stayed at Andys vacation home at
Casa de Campo in the Dominican
Republic, holiday retreat for top fash-
ion designer Oscar de la Renta, and
the site of Michael Jacksons marriage
to Lisa Marie Presley.
I used to see him once a month and
wed have dinner together. We loved
each other. The last time was about
a month ago and he promised hed
come up from Beverly Hills for my
ninetieth birthday party next March.
Sadly, it was not to be...

heard by the Board of Supervisors on
August 21.
Verizon snubbed this board and
the community, said Mike Dobreski,
an education consultant and a mem-
ber of the church, located directly
across the street from the proposed
antenna site. What we are asking for
is for you to side with this community,
side with the children, and side with
the adults who live here, he asked
the board. While the projects appeal
was not listed as a consent item on
the MA boards agenda, the Land Use
Committee will discuss the issue at
next months meeting.
The proposed wireless facility
includes the installation and opera-
tion of nine panel antennas, to be
located on a Spanish-style switch sta-
tion building that already exists at
512 Santa Angela Lane. The antennas
will be mounted behind a parapet
wall near Cingular Wireless anten-
nas that already exist on the building.
According to county staff, the project
will increase cellular service in the
area; Verizon Wireless current lease
on the QAD property in Summerland
expires next month.
The 30-page appeal calls into ques-
tion Verizon Wireless need to locate
the antennas on the site, which is
located in close proximity to the pre-
school. Sarah Eglin, who lives and
works on the churchs grounds, told
the MA board that Verizon had looked
into other possible sites, including on
the Montecito Water District property,
but the Santa Angela Lane property
was the least expensive. Why not err
on the side of being conservative on
whether it is safe or not? Why not look
at other sites away from a preschool?
she said.
Along with opposition letters from
residents, the appeal contains two let-
ters from environmental consultant
Cindy Sage, who says the electro-
magnetic field at the site is off the
charts. Local government is not per-
mitted to deny a project based on
EMF issues; the FCC regulates radio-
frequency emissions for such proj-
ects, and Verizon Wireless has sub-
mitted a study showing the project
complies with the FCCs standards.
The Montecito Planning Commission
agreed that the project has little visual
impact on the surrounding area.
The MA board suggested to the
group of residents that they attend
next weeks MPC meeting, to voice
their concerns during the public com-
ment period.
Montecito Fire District
Latest
At last weeks Montecito
Association meeting, Fire Chief Chip
Hickman reported that candidates
interested in applying for a position
on the Montecito Fire District Board
of Directors can find a filing guide
online at montecitofire.com. The
application is due before August 10.
In November, a measure will be on
the general election ballot to increase
the number of board members from
three to five.
There are a number of things you
can do with a five-member board,
and a plethora of things you cant do
with three of us, said MFPD board
member Dana Newquist. He said
having so few board members makes
it impossible to have special commit-
tees, including a finance committee,
due to the fact that two board mem-
bers represent a quorum.
The Montecito Association will take
formal action on the board member
increase at next months meeting.
Ordinance
Amendments on
Special Events
Next week, Montecito Planning
Commission will take action on
advising the Board of Supervisors
whether or not to adopt provisions in
Montecitos Land Use Development
Codes regarding special events at pri-
vate homes.
The intent of the ordinance
amendments is to close a loophole
that allows for commercial, short-
term rental of properties for large
events and weddings. The amend-
ment would require permitting for
such events, but would not affect
charitable events or familial wed-
dings.
The MA board voted to send a let-
ter to MPC, commenting on the ordi-
nance language and suggesting that
the County add more meaningful
penalties to policy violators.

Burglary on Butterfly Lane
Friday, 13 July, 9:36 pm Deputy Maupin responded to a home on Butterfly
Lane for report of a burglary. The owner of the home said he had left that morn-
ing for work. He made an appointment with a local cable company to do some
work at his home, and had arranged for his two house cleaners to be present
when the cable technician was in the home. When the owner arrived home, he
found his iPad was missing from the kitchen. When he questioned the house
cleaners, they said they had left the home before the technician left. The deputy
made several attempts to call the technician and question him; there was no
response. The incident was forwarded to detectives.
Incident on East Mountain
Tuesday, 10 July, 4:47 pm Deputy McFarlin was dispatched to assist Montecito
Fire and AMR paramedics with an intoxicated male on East Mountain Drive.
The man was intoxicated and making statements that he was planning on com-
mitting suicide. The mans family was there, trying to get the man to agree to go
to Cottage Hospital for psychiatric treatment. Eventually, the man agreed to get
in the ambulance to go to the hospital. As the deputy was following behind the
ambulance, it suddenly stopped, and the AMR paramedic waved the deputy
down. The deputy ran to the ambulance, and saw two paramedics struggling
with the subject. The deputy placed his handcuffs on the man to restrain him.
An incident report was filed.
Burglary at Cold Spring Trailhead
Monday, 9 July, 9:44 am Deputy Gallaher responded to 900 East Mountain
Road for a report of a theft from vehicle. The victim said she parked at the trail
head about 8:45 am; when she returned she found her vehicles window was
smashed and her purse was missing. Her purse contained her phone, several
credit cards and $800 in cash, which she was planning to deposit later in the
day. About three hours later, the victim found her credit cards had been used
online. A report was taken.

One More Chance
A
n event took place Sunday,
Monday, and Tuesday, July
1, 2, and 3 in Godric Groves
outdoor amphitheater at Elings Park
that anyone within driving distance
should not have missed, and that was
the remarkable production of Thornton
Wilders Pulitzer Prize winning play,
Our Town. It was directed by former
Cheers writer-executive producer
Cheri Steinkellner and performed by
a dizzying array of superlative young
talent.
I didnt get a chance to write about it
after its brief run (although we did run
a feature piece on it beforehand), but
we received a note recently from the
productions co-producer (along with
Carolyn Ross), Jessica Hambright,
informing us that there was one and
only one more chance for anyone
who missed it to experience Our Town
in the great outdoors at Elings Park.
Due to our success (no doubt a
testament to the Montecito Journals
article), Jessica writes vie email, we
have decided to put on an encore
performance of Our Town! It's a one-
night-only event, she continues,
and there were so many people who
were bummed they missed it, so we
want to let them know!
The date is Wednesday, July 25,
beginning at 6 pm. The place is Godric
Grove at Elings Park. Remember: it
is outdoors so dont forget a sweater
and perhaps even a blanket. You are
encouraged to bring a picnic and enjoy
this moving, funny, sad, poignant play
with friends and neighbors.
Our Town isnt a sad play by any
stretch, but there is some sadness in
it, particularly near the end when the
heartbreaking loss of a boys first love
tears the heart muscles of even the
most steely audience member. There
is time, however, to dry those eyes
before the sun goes down and the
effect is one of a good, satisfying, old-
fashioned cry. The residual effect will
reverberate for a long time afterwards.
The Directors Note on the one-page
playbill is the first indication that you
are in for something special:
Instead of reading another note from
another director, please take the next min-
ute or two to notice
Notice our community in its bigness
down there, and closeness up here.
Notice that tree onstage. And the dirt
and the boulders.
Notice the birds providing background
music for todays performance.
And the breeze. And the light as it
changes and softens.
And the sun as it goes down and cools.
Notice all the things that only you
would notice.
Now save all that for a little bit.
By the end of the third act, itll be com-
pletely different.
The effervescent cast: Albee
Rothman, Emma Steinkellner
(Cheris daughter and a brassy pres-
ence who seems destined for a film-
stage career), Clayton Barry (song-
writer Jeff Barrys son and another
natural), Xeni Tziouvaras, Addison
Clarke (the young lady who tears the
heart out of your breastplate), Phillip
Hodgson, Ray Cothern (the charis-
matic star in this years Dos Pueblos
production of Tarzan), Allison Lewis,
Kevin Herald, Abi Savage, Evan Bell,
Cole Petersen, Corinne Ruth, William
Harvey, Sofia Ross, Cameron Wells,
and Nanda Douglas.
Weve singled out some of the
standouts, but really, the play works
because everybody works well togeth-
er. This production flows like a relent-
less tide as characters drift in and out
on the sea of life.
Go. You will be uplifted.
Tickets are $15 and available at Elings
Park (signage will direct you) or online
at: brownpapertickets.com. MJ

Music Academy
of the West
Sisterly Love
by Steven Libowitz
C
ellist Ahyoung Julia Choi
and violinist Yunyoung
Jennifer Choi not only are
the frst siblings ever to win a coveted
slot on Music Academy of the Wests
Concerto Night, theyre also the
frst sisters ever to perform together
at the summer festival. The Chois,
who were born in Seoul, Korea, both
began playing at age 5, were accepted
to Juilliards Pre-College Division
as pre-teens, and are currently
undergraduates at the prestigious
conservatory.
Now theyre both also Concerto
Competition winners at MAW, where
theyll perform the first movement of
Brahms rarely heard Double Concerto
for Violin and Cello in A Minor, Op.
102, the composers final work for
orchestra. Separately, you can see Julia
in the special string quartet concert on
July 27, and Jennifer in the Brahms
piano quintet at the Chamber Music
Marathon on July 28. We caught up
with Julia, 20, and Jennifer, 18, on
a break on the new patio outside
Weinman Hall. As you might expect
from such siblings, they finish each
others sentences.
Q. Are your parents musicians? You
started young did they force you to
play?
Julia: Our mom is a pianist. She
started us both on our instruments
Shes not as bad as a tiger mom, but
she pushed us a lot when we were
younger and now that we look back
on it
Jennifer: Were very grateful.

Have you always done lots of things
together?
Julia: Were really close, so we do
everything together. Weve always
been there for each other.
Jennifer: We go to the same school,
live in the same house.
Julia: A lot of our friends have come
here and
Jennifer: They recommended this
program to us. Were really excited.
So what would have happened if only
one of you had got in? Would you have
come?
(Both laugh) Jennifer: Yeah. It
would have been, Im going to Santa
Barbara and youre not.
Julia: That would have been bad.
And actually we were worried for a
moment, because we found out that
we got in on different days. We didnt
realize there wasnt one date for that.
What can you tell me about the Brahms
double concerto? I know it was met with
mixed reviews when it came out.
Jennifer: Its amazing, and very
complicated. And theres a lot of heart.
Julia: Its been a lot of work. It
requires a lot of ensemble work. It has
chamber music, orchestra and solo
incorporated in one piece. Its difficult
but its fun.
Jennifer: Weve been wanting to do
the piece for a while, but never had a
chance to because its not a piece you
normally learn for your repertoire.
But it was perfect for here, because we
wanted to win the competition. And
its a good piece to work on during the
summer when you have some time.
Julia: Its very romantic and every-
thing is so lush. Its big and grand
and the orchestra is big, too Some
people dont like it, but
Jennifer: We both love it. That helps
a lot. Were very excited to play it
Wed love to have the opportunity to
play the whole thing somewhere.
Which brings up the question of what
happens after youre done with school. Do
you think youll be able to play together?
Jennifer: We both love chamber
music, especially piano quintets.
Were doing a group next year togeth-
er at Julliard.
Julia: But we have to keep all our
options open because the classical
music world is more and more dif-
ficult.
Daniel Sharp has studied previ-

ously with both flute faculty mem-
bers, earning his graduate degree in
San Francisco with Tim Day, who
he calls, one of the coolest cats out
there. Sharp, who is also readying
the Villa Lobos wind quintet and a
newer work by Esa Pekka Salonen
(the latter might be ready for the
Chamber Music Marathon), will play
Jolivets Flute Concerto on Concerto
Night. He also performs each week in
the flute master class.
Q. Tell me about the piece. What makes
it special for you?
A. Its a shorter work, just thirteen
minutes, and its very much in the
style of late 40s, early 50s French
jazz. It was written at end of WWII,
which had a huge influence on Jolivet,
because he stayed in France during
the war. Theres a lot of violence but
also a love of life... Its extremely dif-
ficult to play, but the challenge was
more for me to be able to play it well,
because the piece plays itself I chose
it because its rarely performed and I
absolutely fell in love with it.
Can you talk about your experience here
so far?
Its been different coming back into
the school environment after being
out and about in the world. You
have lessons and classes and orches-
tra rehearsals and its not like youre
being paid where you dont have to
stand for some things and you have
other rights as a player. Its a different
world. But its been a privilege. Ive
met some amazing musicians here
and Ive really enjoyed collaborating
with them.
Whats the future hold for you? What
are your hopes and dreams?
It would be nice to be a soloist, but
its a very hard and lonely career. More
stable is a position with an orchestra.
I play piccolo in the Symphony in C
based in Jersey outside Philadelphia.
Its a dream to have a full-time pic-
colo position (rather than flute) in an
orchestra. If done correctly, it can be
the brazen bold solo that has a real
impact on the audience rather than the
tootie flute section.

ducted with the Cleveland Orchestra,
the St. Louis Symphony, the Detroit
Symphony, the National Symphony
Orchestra of Washington, D.C., the
BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the
Melbourne Symphony, and the Orchestra

leading the Academy Festival Orchestra
for 2012 Concerto Night at the Granada
Saturday. The other soloists are flut-
ist Gina Hughes (Nielsen Concerto), vio-
linist Zachary Spontak (Stravinsky D
Major) and pianist Jie Yuan (Tchaikovsky
No. 1 in B-flat Minor).

Though Bill first dabbled in model
railroading, the urge to work with
the real thing was fostered by his
grandfathers 2-inch-scale railroad
that wended its way through his
home. It was large enough to ride on,
and Bill was hooked. After a train trip
to San Diego, he knew he wanted to be
involved specifically with passenger
cars.
Passenger trains, however, had been
in serious decline for years as air trav-
el lured away the business and tourist
market. When Amtrak was created
in 1971, it was intended to revitalize
train travel. In so doing, it built new
cars and sold off many of the older
cars for scrap or allowed them to
lie derelict. A few were snapped up
by wealthy collectors, who converted
them for private use.
Rod and Ellen Fishburn, own-
ers of Colonial Crafts, purchased
their car from the estate of a man
in Pennsylvania who used it as his
vacation home. Rod said, It takes a
small fortune to restore one of these
cars. The best thing is to start with a
large fortune, and youll end up with
a small fortune.
The Colonial series of cars were
designed for the Pennsylvania
Railroad and ran overnight routes
between New York and Chicago and
New York and St. Louis. Rod and
Ellen had been avid railroad fans and
volunteers at the railway museum in
Pittsburg before purchasing their car
and bringing it to Los Angeles.
Both Rod and Ellen and Bill ben-
efited tremendously from the Pullman
Company archives, which were very
complete with text, photos, and draw-
ings of each of the cars designed by the
company through the 1980s. Utilizing
these records and others, both sets
of owners restored and/or recreated
the cars to resemble the originals as
closely as possible. And restoration
continues; Rod and Ellen just replaced
shutters in the sleeping berths with
blinds that use the original hardware.
Restoration of this nature does not
come inexpensively, so both cars must
work for a living and are chartered to
various individuals, groups and orga-
nizations. The South Coast Railroad
Museum has scheduled a series of
these unique journeys back in time
utilizing a variety of vintage rail cars.
Riding the Gap
The Southern Pacific Railroad
reached Santa Barbara from Los
Angeles in 1887 and then stopped.
Construction from San Francisco halt-
ed as well. To bridge the gap between
the two ends required two bridges,
10 viaducts, and several fills in Santa
Barbara County alone. By 1895, the
line pulled through to Guadalupe and
in 1897 it reached Surf. Between 1896
and 1898, construction began on tres-

S
aturday, June 30 found us
down by the station early in
the morning. A picnic hamper
replaced packs on our backs, but we
were in high spirits when we parked
our hacks in the Santa Barbara train
station parking lot. Soon, we heard
that lonesome whistle blowin and it
was time for people to get ready, the
train was acomin.
As the Amtrak train shushed into
the station, those of us signed up for
the South Coast Railroad Museums
Central Coast Flyer excursion to San
Luis Obispo lined up behind our
guide, Terry Remick, to board our
respective cars: the restored 1949
Overland Trail, a 39-seat Pullman club
lounge, or the 1949 Colonial Crafts,
a Pullman first-class lounge with
deluxe sleepers.
Conductor Bill Hatrick, owner
of the Overland Trail, welcomed us
aboard, and with a shout of All
Aboard we were whisked to Goleta
to pick up the rest of our fellow
passengers. As we settled into our
colorful club chairs or at one of the
four dining tables in the Streamline
Moderne salon, we were transported
to the 1950s. Burled end tables with
magazine racks support matching
table lamps, and drink tables resem-
bling flying saucers dot the aisle.
At one end, a quarter-circle bar is
surrounded by etched, diamond-pat-
terned mirrors. Though covered with
snack trays, a writing desk with a
handy mail slot once accommodated
business travelers and tourists alike.
Vintage Car History
The Overland Trail was one of six
club lounges commissioned by the
Southern Pacific Railroad after WWII.
Originally, it ran the Overland Route
along the path of the historic trans-
continental railroad of 1869 between
Chicago and Oakland. Its passengers
tended to be businessmen, and to
accommodate their needs, the deluxe
club car featured a barbershop, com-
plete with shower and clothes press-
ing services, all of which can be seen
today. It also included a two-berth
room used by stewardesses who
served the patrons of the club car.
Bill Hatricks grandfather was a rail-
road man with the Santa Fe Railroad.

its lighthouse on a
rocky escarpment
below the cliff
tles at ten canyons. Caada Hondo
was the tallest at 94 feet and Gaviota
the longest at 811 feet. On December
31, 1900, the gap was closed and pas-
senger service was instituted in March
1901.
The Central Coast Flyer travels the
116-mile, 113-year-old route across
the bridges and trestles and through
ranch and farmland not accessible by
public roads. Noses pressed to the
windows, we pass Refugio and El
Capitan State beaches, both chock-
full of campers and swimmers on
this brilliantly blue day. It all seems
very far away from the days of the
Ortega familys remote ranchos,
Nuestra Senora del Refugio, Canada
de Corral and (via a granddaughter
who married grantee Nicolas Den)
Dos Pueblos, which once extended
along the coast from Goleta nearly to
Point Conception.
The Gaviota pier holds hope-
ful anglers, and the beaches of the
Hollister and Bixby ranches lie serene
and mostly empty under the blaz-
ing sky. We round Point Conception,
where the cold current from Alaska
meets the warm current from Mexico.
The train sways across the trestle at
Jalama Beach, jammed with park-
ing lot style camping of recreational
vehicles and surfers. In the distance,
a dark line of pewter gray defines the
horizon.
To the east lies Vandenberg Air Force
Base, once the launch site of the U.S.
space shuttle program, but still opera-
tive for launching of military test rock-
ets. Canyon after canyon descends
the golden hills: Espada, El Jolloru,
El Marida, Los Sauces, Del Rodeo,
Agua Vina. Then Point Arguello, and
the cluster of historic buildings that
service its lighthouse until we reach
Honda and Point Pedernales where
7 destroyers ran aground in 1923, the
largest peace time disaster in U.S.
Naval history.
By the time we reach Surf and
Ocean Park Beach, we have entered
the misty gray and dont emerge
again until we turn inland where
sand dunes and wetlands and fresh
fields of vegetables dominate the
landscape. We pause briefly at the
historic ranching town of Guadalupe,
officially founded in 1873 when
Scotsman John Dunbar became post-
master after opening a general store
two years earlier. Once the areas
agricultural trading center, it boasts
a multi-cultural history that includes
Swiss and Portuguese dairy farm-
ers and Filipino, Chinese, Japanese,
and Hispanic vegetable farmers and
farm workers. We continue through
the fields and pass Oceanos vin-
tage rail station and pause at Grover
Beach. Several passengers disembark
here where there are many eateries
close by, but the rest of us continue
through the Edna Valley wine region
to San Luis Obispo. Since we only
have a 45-minute layover before the
train reverses itself, we set up our
picnic on the train and enjoy our
elegant repast in 50s splendor.
On the return, passengers are
encouraged to switch sides of the car,
and we roll back to Santa Barbara
while Rick Reeves sings Choo Choo,
Choo Choo ChBoogie accompanied
by the strum of his acoustic guitar,
the sway of the train and the clickety-
clack of the tracks. All in all, a most
enjoyable day into the past.

T
o gaze upon Morro Rock on
a sunny day is like hearing a
3-piece band suddenly become
a symphony. Instead of being
shrouded in fog, which is often the
case in summer, this magnifcent
rock rises 578 feet out of the ocean
silhouetted against a powder-blue
sky drenched in light and color,
a sentinel guarding the harbor of
Morro Bay. No wonder it is said to
be the 3
rd
most photographed object
west of the Mississippi. If you follow
roads down to the waters edge to
the rocks base itself and look up, you
instantly gain a completely diferent
perspective of its size and might
even spy one of several peregrine
falcon nests.
Just 12 miles west of San Luis
Obispo, Morro Bay is known for its
rock, white sandy beaches, fishing
and seafood eateries, but perhaps less
known is:
The Rookery lying south of town
within Morro Bay State Park besides
The Inn at Morro Bay. April and May
are the best months for gazing high
into the Eucalyptus and Cypress
trees where you can see a network of
branches decorated with bowling ball-
size nests, each cradling a Cormorant,
Snowy Egret or Blue Heron. Periodic
chatter and honking rise from the
guarded nests as the feathered partner
swoops in returning from foraging
nest fodder or seafood for the young.
These same trees hang heavy with the
thousands of Monarch butterflies that
come in winter.
Morro Dunes a three-mile white
sandy spit that is actually a thin pen-
insula hooking back across the main-
land, creating the harbor, bay and
estuary. No vehicles are allowed, so
a short kayak ride can bring you to
shore where sandals are stowed and
bare feet on clean warm sand adds to
the feeling of freedom and adventure
as you explore. Within five minutes,
you can walk to the far side of the
dunes, where waves crash on shore in
contrast to the calm waters bayside.

The Estuary where fresh water
meets saltwater in a shallow bay pro-
tected from wave action and a nursery
to sea life. The dramatic tidal action
in this estuary, one of Americas larg-
est, creates vast mudflats exposing
countless oysters, sea-snails, clams,
small crabs and other invertebrates at
low tide, which rapidly become sub-
merged twice daily under incoming
tides that refresh and distribute sea
life. Here, waterfowl like White and
Brown Pelicans, Brandt Geese and
Great White and Blue Heron thrive.
Take shoreline trails or kayaks or pad-
dle boards that can bring you silently
into the midst of avian creatures, seals
and otters to observe their uninhibited
characteristics more intimately.
Oyster farms The Grassy Bar
Oyster Company that operates within
the estuary attests to the quality of
its clean water. Long rows of oysters
bundled in nets lay quietly out-of-
sight in the shallows of the bay, filter-
feeding and growing. These delicious
mollusks are the smaller variety called
Pacific Oysters, which come shucked
and chilled upon the plates of sea-
food lovers from San Diego to San
Francisco and can be had at their
freshest, raw or grilled, in Morro Bay
restaurants and fish markets. If you
are lucky, a worker testing the farmed
oysters might offer you a fresh one as
you kayak by.
Water Sports, Hike & Bike Winds
that help clear out any fog also propel
para-surfers, sailboats and windsurf-
ers over the protected bay and along
the strand beaches just offshore. On
a clear day, one can take a short trail
up to Black Hill, which begins at
the campground at Morro Bay State
Park. The destination is the hilltop at
661 feet that provides a spectacular
360-degree view of the entire area.
Or, on a foggy day, visit the natural
History Museum in the same park
that is currently celebrating its 50
th

anniversary.
Morro Bay can also provide a nice
basecamp for side trips to the sea-
side town of Cayucos, with its broad
beaches ten minutes to the north, or
Cambria, another 15 minutes north.
Travel inland and visit some of the
fine vineyards of Paso Robles, or trav-
el south of Morro Bays estuary and
you arrive at Montana de Oro State
Park with its endless beach trails and
vistas.
For a nice getaway, go north to
Morro Bay, standing hard against the
wind with sun upon its skin, Like a
Rock.

by the Sea
Leslie Westbrook is an author, freelance writer, book coach, memoirist and chief bottle washer at
LeslieWestbrook.com. Her latest book the Insiders Guide to Santa Barbara (5th edition) has just been
released by Globe Pequot Press.
by Leslie A. Westbrook
P
ercussionist Ted Atkatz teaches
Music Academy of the West
fellows how to bang on a drum,
soothe a marimba, coerce vibes, and
generally improve their playing on
whatever else is around for summer
merry music making.
My love affair with the Music
Academy of the West began more
than three decades ago. In those days,
as now, I would spend my mornings
writing before breaking for lunch
and then reviewing and revising
my work in the afternoons. In those
IBM Selectric typewriter days, the
crowds at the Music Academy were
smaller and, as I recall, the Master
Classes were all free. I would bring
my mornings labor, along with a red
pen, honing my craft while the high-
ly accomplished young musicians
(who were, and remain, light years
ahead of me) polished theirs. Since
then, I have attended the picnic con-
certs with some degree of regularity
where time and budget permit-
ted as well as additional Master
Classes and other performances. A
good portion of my wee house by
the sea has even been furnished with
items discovered at May Madness,
the Academys annual mother-of-
all-rummage sales. I have donated
and consigned to the Treasure Shop
as well, so you see, my relationship
with MAW includes more scores
than musical ones.
Luckily this summer, quite by
chance, I have a true Music Academy
treasure residing in my house: a per-
cussionist and teacher just finishing
up his session. Ladies and gentlemen
(drum roll): Please welcome visiting
Summerlandian Ted Atkatz!
Q. Ted, welcome to Summerland and
to your second summer teaching at
the Music Academy. I know that you
were principal percussionist with the
Chicago Symphony before decamping to
Los Angeles with your wife to try your
hand a rock and roll. What inspired
that turnaround? (You even have writ-
ten a song titled, The Lonely Girls of
Summerland!)
A. Its great to be spending another
summer at the Music Academy. My
wife, Jill, and I have lived in Los
Angeles for the last four years, after
we both quit our jobs. I left the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra to pursue being
a songwriter, and leaving the orches-
tra made it possible for Jill to get a job
at UCLA. We love California and we
havent looked back.
I have attended two of your free Master
Classes and was very impressed by your
teaching style, as well as your students.
It seems like listeners tend to gravitate
towards strings, piano and voice, but
they are really missing out. How can
we lure them to the next free percussion
Master Classes in Hahn Hall (now being
taught by Mike Werner)? I understand
the percussion concert on August 25 is
sold out.
Weve got a small but devoted
group of supporters of the percus-
sion program at MAW, and generally
most newcomers react with surprise
at what they are hearing in our Master
Classes. For those that are looking
for a different view of music, and an
introduction to what we do at the
Music Academy, a percussion master
class is where its at!
Ive attended percussion concerts
before and the percussion presenta-
tions at the picnic concerts have been
some of my favorites. Can you tell
us what will be on the program that
night?
On the program for our percussion
ensemble concert is music by Paul
Lansky, Threads, Toru Takemitsu,
Rain Tree, and Steve Reich, Music
for Mallet Instruments, Voices and
Organ, to name some of the major
works.
You mentioned to me that percussion-
ists are the most fun musicians. Can
you elaborate?
Percussionists are definitely a differ-
ent breed than your average orchestra
musician. We play a lot of different
instruments, and end up playing a lot
of different styles of music. But when
you get made fun of, for playing the
triangle, its important to have a good
sense of humor!

How are you enjoying Summerland?
Can you chime in on what youve
enjoyed about residing in Summerland
during your teaching session?
This is my first time staying in
Summerland, and I love it. My favor-
ites are Caf Luna and The Nugget.
The beach is great, and the view
from my (your) place is fantastic. Ive
already written a bunch of music this
summer from here, looking out at the
Pacific for inspiration.
Cant wait to hear your new music,
Ted. Anything youd like to add? Feel free
to riff...
I hope that you can put in a plug for
my band NYCO (www.nycomusic.
com) and for our gig at SOhO on July
28th at 6 pm. Dinner reservations rec-
ommended.
You just did it! [Rim shot, cymbal clash,
and triangle jingle] MJ

Montecitos Own (Almost)
new Year Baby
M
eika Morgan McCrindle is
best known in our town as
the teacher at El Montecito
Early School, who, in 2010, initiated
local and global service projects that
her pre-school kids worked on as
part of their learning experience.
My teaching philosophy is to
foster relationships among students,
teachers, families, and community,
Meika explains, adding, Children
are capable learners at any age and I
always set high expectations for my
students. I seek to educate the whole
child through the cognitive, social,
emotional, spiritual, and physical
domains.
Her first project, called Make-
A-Difference: Children Helping
Children, focused on the kids fulfill-
ing daily needs for the families of the
Transition House. Meika believes that
schools need to put a strong emphasis
on moral development, character and
community building and it can start
early on and be easily implemented
into classrooms. For Transition House,
each child had a tote bag they filled
with items used every day: shampoo,
lotion, first aid items, sheets, pillows,
blankets, socks, books, and so forth.
The kids then delivered their bags to
Transition House along with a letter to
the family they supported.
From there, something clicked
with everyone at the school as fel-
low teachers, pre-schoolers and their
parents joined the annual project.
In 2011, Meika decided that each
year there would be a different ben-
eficiary, and directed the project for
Storyteller, a pre-school in Santa
Barbara that provides a safe place for
the kids of homeless parents during
the day while they work. Storyteller's
children need the same activity
items for learning that children from
ELMES use on a daily basis, but
were lacking them. Meika had her
students make up a brown shopping
bag filled with these items to bring to
the kids at Storyteller. This year the
school helped the Treasures of Africa
Children's Center in Tanzania, Africa.
Each class adopted 4-6 children
and sent them a box filled with per-
sonal letters, supplies and toys.
Given all the care, love and educa-
tion that Meika has brought to her
young students and our town, it is
most happily announced that she and
her husband, Colin, are now parents!
Meika gave birth to their first child,
Elle Morgan McCrindle, this year on
April 30 at Cottage Hospital (weight: 8
lbs 14 oz, height: 20.5 inches).
The proud parents state that Elle
has been a happy baby since birth and
sleeps peacefully through the night.
Feeling blessed, Meika shares that,
Nothing could have prepared me for
the happiness Elle brings to our lives.
Being a mother feels extremely natural
to me and Elle fits seamlessly into our
family.
During her pregnancy, her stu-
dents had a lot to say. They wanted
Meika to continue to be their teacher,
so they informed her she could come
to class right after her delivery and
that they would help take care of the
baby while she taught them. They
gave her a surprise baby shower
and wrote her a book, "What I Want
to Teach Miss Meika's Baby," where
each student drew a picture and
wrote something that they would
teach the baby.
Meika will be returning to work at
ELMES in August as office manager.
Director Suzy Dobreski is graciously
letting her bring Elle to work and
Meikas mother will help out as well.
Meika grew up in Montecito and is
the daughter of Tom and Britt Mosby,
who still live in the same house
where Meika grew up. She attended
MUS, SBHS and received a degree
in Sociology from UC Berkeley. She
found her love of teaching kids while
working in San Francisco. Husband
Colin, originally from Iowa, works in
town as a consultant. MJ

O
pera diva Ganna Walska had
a penchant for pendants. Also
rings, brooches and earrings.
And pearls. And gemstones. And she
liked Paris. Really liked Paris.
So this Sunday, July 22, the annu-
al event-of-the-season at Lotusland
(Walskas famed 37-acre garden) will
celebrate the city that Madame Ganna
Walska called domicile for two decades.
This was the era of artists, art deco,
and delightful decadence.
And in that spirit, Silverhorn
Jewelers was commissioned to create
a dazzling pair of art deco earrings for
the live auction.
The pendant earrings created by
Silverhorn were actually inspired by
a pair Madame Ganna Walska owned
while she lived in Paris during the
20s and 30s. In fact, the stones set
in the Silverhorn design were all
handpicked in Europe by storeowner
Michael Ridding. When he spotted
the aquamarine stones in Europe,
he immediately saw their art deco
appeal and snatched them up as the
final pice-de-cant-rsistance.
With the vision of Walska in mind,
the earrings were handmade in
Silverhorns own old-world work-
shop; the earrings are made of 18-karat
white gold, aquamarines, diamonds
and pearls.
Wooden this
be Your Hang-Up?
Gary Smith, the talented mega-
voice cantor at Mt. Carmel Church,
recently made a startling discov-
ery: those simple wooden coat hangers
cost a lot of money!
The deal is, he directs the musi-
cal shows at La Cumbre Junior
High. Musical shows have lots of cos-
tumes, many a time heavy costumes,
and wire hangers and even plastic
ones are not strong enough to hold the
costumes. So Gary went out to fetch
some nice sturdy wooden hangers and
found them cost prohibitive.
Now I just know some of you have
a bunch of perfectly good hangers in
the back of your closet that you cannot
bear to throw out because they are...
well, perfectly good. So why not give
them to a wonderful home, and where

Dancing Machine
Does it Again
Our local Santa Barbara Dance
Center won First Place Top Studio
at the 2012 Emerald Ball Dancesport
Championships in Los Angeles.
Owner David Alvarez and
instructors Nigel Clarke and Felipe
Castaneda presented their students in
the Pro/Am divisions (students dance
with their instructors). Their entries
covered various skill levels, and
various age levels in International
Standard, International Latin,
American Smooth, and American
Rhythm, which are fancy ways of
saying they know how to cut the
rug. The studio was also represented
by several amateur couples that train
at the studio with David Alvarez,
Nigel Clarke, and/or Derrick Curtis.
Anywho... this is a National Dance
Council of America annual event, and
is one of the big ballroom competi-
tions in the United States, so congrats!
(In 2009, 2010, and 2011 David Alvarez
also won First Place Top Teacher at
this event... so methinks he really
knows his strut.)
Local Songbird Sings
with the Eagles...
I heard from local songbird Lois
Mahalia (remember that incredible
voice? she was the young singer sen-
sation originally with The Musical
Family) that she is now on tour with
Joe Walsh from the Eagles. Lois is one
of his three featured back-up singers
and the group was recently on Good
Morning America. Turns out the former
Eagles superstar just released his first
new album in 20 years and he is tour-
ing away.
(And I could add that probably not
too many people realize that local
tune man writer-producer Barry De
Vorzon co-wrote the Eagles hit In
the City with Joe Walsh.)
Irishman Cooks
All-American Chili
Every year on the 3rd of July, Scot
and Lisa Burns hold their annual
Chili Cook-off and invite a zillion
friends for a festive fracas foreshad-
owing the Fourth.
Part of the potluck picnic is the
sampling of eighteen different bowls,
crock-pots and pans of homemade
chili, which are all taste-tested by sev-
eral judges who have the stomach for
this kind of thing. There is also the
Peoples Choice award, presented to
the cook whose concoction is finished
first. I always aim for the chili that has
no icky beans in it and is not in the
least spicy. (Yes, yes, I know...)
At any rate it was time for the Big
Reveal. Our host Scot stood up and
said, Well being that my wife does
all of the work and I am the One in

Exciting Exhibit
The social crowd was out in force
when Alexander and Maria Mertens
hosted the opening of their Coast
Village Road gallerys latest exhibition
featuring the work of top artists Alex
Katz and Donald Sultan.
The large scale work of New York-
based Katz, who celebrates his 85th
birthday this week, is known for its
bold style and heightened colors,
and is in the collections of innumer-
able top institutions, including the
Smithsonian, the Met and MOMA in
New York, the Tate in London and the
Centre George Pompidou in Paris.
It has even been featured on 80-foot
high billboards in Manhattans Times
Square.
Sultans still life work is also known
for its size, and is also in the collec-
tions of the Met and MOMA, as well
as the Whitney and the Guggenheim.
Among those checking out Mertens
Fine Art Gallery, which also exhib-
its works by Jasper Johns, Warhol,
Picasso, Chagall, Renoir, Matisse
and Miro, were Michael Armand
Hammer, Brian King, Patricia Hinds
and Charles Ward...
Music to Everyones Ears
The Music Academy of the Wests
Summer Festival had a busy weekend,
filling the theaters at the Lobero and
the Granada within hours of each
other.
Three music directors, John
Churchwell, Jonathan Kelly and
Carrie-Ann Matheson all facul-
ty artists took their places for the
Opera Scenes performance at the
Lobero, featuring popular acts from
six venerable operas, including Verdis
La Traviata and Falstaff, Donizettis
Lucrezia Borgia, Debussys Pelleas et
Melisande, Mozarts Le nozze di Figaro
and Puccinis Suor Angelica.
Fabrizio Melano, an established fig-
ure on the international opera scene
having overseen 21 productions at
New Yorks Met, was stage director for
the thoroughly entertaining show.
At the Granada, it was time for the
Academy Festival Orchestra, under
conductor Yan Pascal Tortelier, to
shine.
Tortelier, principal conductor
of Brazils Sao Paulo Symphony, used
his considerable skills to good effect
with Ravels Suite from Ma Mere lOye
and Dutilleuxs Metaboles, closing
the performance with Elgars Enigma
Variations.
A delightful evening, indeed...
Pottery Publication
Author Terry Gerratana is going to
pot!
Terry spent six years writing her
256-page, beautifully illustrated tome,
Santa Barbara Ceramic Design: Art
Pottery from Americas Riviera, which
is the definitive history of the move-
ment, with an introduction by owner
and founder Ray Markow, a ceramic
arts major from UCSB.
This really dates back to the seven-
ties when my husband and I first vaca-
tioned in Santa Barbara, she explained
at a book bash at Tecolote, the bus-
tling bibliophile bastion in the Upper
Village. I fell in love with the pottery.
A lot of pottery production was
migrating to Japan in the latter part
of the twentieth century and Santa
Barbara ceramic designs were some-
thing of anomaly a homegrown stu-
dio producing unique decorative and
functional ceramic art.
This is a story of how a studio
pottery with one man evolved into
a full-blown production facility with
abstract colors, shapes and designs.
Terry, a state senator in Connecticut,
researched her subject thoroughly
with travels here, Colorado, South
Carolina and Texas, as well as innu-
merable phone calls to former artists
and workers in Hawaii and Australia.
Many former employees are still
alive and even the company itself
still exists, although under a different
name and mission, she says. Pottery
and politics do mix!
Over the years, Terry, who illus-
trates her book with more than 400
photographs, has also built up a most
impressive collection of California
pottery at her home in New Britain...
Presidio Pre-party
To celebrate the annual Fiesta Finale
gala at the historic El Paseo restaurant
next month, the Profant Foundation
for the Arts hosted a cocktail soire
at the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic
Preservation, a tiaras toss from the El
Presidio Chapel.
Forty guests, many dressed in
Spanish garb, partook of the heav-
ing buffet of Mexican cuisine, while
being entertained by dancers wear-
ing giant folkloric skull masks, dating
back more than half a century.
Among the invitees were honorary
chair Patricia Hinds, legendary local
pianist Gil Rosas, Judy Hill, Mary
Ellen Tiffany, William Thompson
and Patricia Perry.
A delightful appetizer for the fina-
les main course in August
Tangerine Dream
It was a sensory explosion of light
and sound when seven-time Grammy
nominee Tangerine Dream, lauded as
the best synth band in the world, hit
the stage at the Granada.
The German electronic sextet,
founded by Edgar Froese in 1967,
played for more than two and half
hours against a continually changing
psychedelic backdrop, above the earth
and below the seas.
The group has made more than
60 film soundtracks, including Risky
Business, Legend and Miracle Mile,
and their music is akin to Vangelis,
the Greek composer best known for
his Oscar-winning score for Chariots
of Fire, and Frenchman Jean-Michel
Jarre, whose album sales exceed
80 million, including his 1976 hit,
Oxygene.
No wonder they have such interna-
tional appeal...
The Queens Secret Weapon
In the earlier years of her 60-year
reign, not even Queen Elizabeth was
immune from the dreaded wardrobe
malfunction in windy conditions.
But nowadays the royal hemline
remains elegantly in place whatever
the weather thanks to a secret weap-
on.
Sewn inside the hem of each hand-
made outfit are a couple of circular
lead curtain weights, costing $2.50
for a packet of four, according to her
45-year-old dress designer Stewart
Parvin.
The weights measure just over an
inch across and weigh less than an
ounce. Yet they are surprisingly effec-
tive.
The beauty of a handmade out-
fit is that it hangs just right, but,
of course, we have a few tricks up
our sleeve, says Parvin, who has
been designing for Her Majesty since
2001.
I just pop a couple of weights into
the hemline of the dresses and coats
and it makes them hang beautifully.
Even at the age of 85, the Queen still
takes a keen interest in fashion.
She knows exactly what she wants
and what suits her, and yet also man-
ages to move with the times. I send
over sketches and fabric swatches, she
picks out what she wants, we have
just one fitting at Buckingham Palace
and thats it. Done....

have landed, but theyre not sure if theyre harmful or benevolent creatures. Next
week: The War of the Worlds, the Oscar-winning screen adaptation of the classic
H.G. Wells novel about a devastating alien attack on Earth. Set right here in Southern
California, the fast-paced, suspenseful flm pits the human race against Martian
invaders, with moments critics have said are still so enjoyably unnerving almost 60

Talk about it The Vagina Monologues might
be more than 15 years old, but Eve Enslers
episodic play about the feminine experience
is certainly not dated. Just last month, several
thousand people thronged the Michigan state
capitol lawn to protest the treatment of a female
legislator who was barred from speaking on the
house foor following an emotional debate over
abortion in which she used the word vagina.
Democratic state Rep. Lisa Brown participated
in a performance of the Monologues along
with other lawmakers, actresses and the plays
author. Now the political theater company Dijo
Productions, which has brought The Exonerated
and Frost/Nixon to the Center Stage, is
bringing the popular and award winning if still
controversial play about female empowerment
to the same venue. Jerry Oshinsky and E. Bonnie Lewis are co-directing, with
Carol Metcalf, Maia Mook and Ivy Vahanian performing alongside Lewis.
In deference to our family audience, well not list the title of some of the episodes,
but be aware that previous viewers will hear something new as every year a new
monologue is added to highlight a current issue affecting women around the world.

Wrembel on Gypsy-jazz guitarist Stephane
Wrembels career certainly received a boost when
notoriously musical flm director Woody Allen (who plays
clarinet in a jazz band weekly whenever hes home
in New York) recruited him to score the theme for last
years Oscar-nominated hit flm, Midnight in Paris. It also
didnt hurt when the Academy tapped Wrembel to play
his catchy original song Bistro Fada live during the
2012 Oscar show. The French-born guitarist-composer
learned his craft among the gypsies at campsites in the
homelands countryside before relocating to Brooklyn,
and that old world favor still permeates his sound.
But Wrembels ffth album, Origins, blends his myriad
infuences into a hybrid that transcends his roots as a
follower of the iconic Django Reinhardt, touching upon
everything from blues to famenco to rock. Wrembel
likes to think of himself as an Impressionist with a guitar.

Pre-world premiere
New Jersey playwright
Lucile Lichtblau taps
into modern international
intrigue with The English
Bride. The play, based
on real events, features
three characters: an
Englishwoman lonely for
companionship as she
sees her life passing by; a
terrorist whose confdence
and charm spark a love
affair between him and the
Englishwoman; and a Mossad agent on the trail of both, who believes no one and
nothing can be trusted. The action takes place following a failed bombing attempt on
an El Al fight out of London. Director Ed Giron, who worked with the playwright in
an early reading of the work, also plays Dov, the Mossad agent. Eileen, the working
class woman from Leeds and bride to be who is eager for vindication, is portrayed by
Leslie Gangl while William Waxman portrays the charming and manipulative
terrorist. The play won the Centenary Stage Companys Susan Glaspell contest,
and is set to be performed in November at Theatre Exile in Philadelphia as part of
a rolling world premiere that culminates with its offcial opening at the Centenary
Stage in New Jersey in April. Dijo is presenting a full production of the piece as a

On Entertainment
by Steven Libowitz
Steven Libowitz has
reported on the arts and
entertainment for more
than 30 years; he has
contributed to Montecito
Journal for over ten
years.
A
sk most folks and theyll tell
you that in their view the
economy is still tanking, things
are getting more expensive and they
have less discretionary income than
ever. Yet somehow the California Wine
Festival, which enters its 9th year this
weekend, just keeps growing.
The wine-and-dine event that began
as a single-day beachside festival in
2004, added a second evening event
featuring rare and select wines sev-
eral years ago, tacked on a Spanish-
themed gathering to kick off the week-
end a couple of years back, and then
last year appended an exclusive wine
glass seminar on Friday afternoon for
true connoisseurs.
While theres no new event for
2012, the festival is ratcheting up the
entertainment factor, tapping Emmy
Award-winning comedian, travel and
foodie expert Mark DeCarlo to host
a humorous cooking challenge at the
main festival on Saturday. Also, a
few select wines from wineries from
Oregon will join California vineyards
pouring on Saturday afternoon, rep-
resenting the festivals first foray into
out-of-state vintages. Meanwhile, the
festival production company expand-
ed into a third territory earlier this
year, and found success with a new
festival in Orange County.
I think were growing because
weve demonstrated that we know
what were doing, said Emily
Kaufmann, recently appointed
the California Wine Festivals Vice
President of Festival Operations.
Wineries know we have a formula
that works. And at the same time,
were trying to make it fresh and new
every year. There are a lot of wine
events out there so we try to offer new
elements to create a different experi-
ence and keep the loyal attendees
coming back.
The Main Events
Indeed, while the line-up of elite
wineries, gourmet food manufactur-
ers and top restaurants doesnt appear
unique on the surface, there are some
aspects that separate the CWF from
other local tasting festivals. Each of the
four events has a very specific theme:
Old Spanish Nights Wine Tasting
(6:30-9pm Thursday at the De La
Guerra Adobe Courtyard) is held on
the site of the original Spanish Fiesta
in downtown Santa Barbara, and was
created to celebrate the history of
the city, Kaufmann said. Accordingly,
many of the wines being poured have
a Spanish flavor, and the spicy array
of appetizers include tapas and other
Latin delights, while Flamenco danc-
ers accompanied by guitars provide
the musical entertainment.
The Reidel Wine Glass Seminar
& Tasting (4:30-6pm Friday at Fess
Parkers Doubletree Resort) is an inti-
mate glassware journey (limited
to 180 people) where visitors get to
explore how the shape and size of a
glass affect the perception of wine on
the palate. An expert from the glass-
ware company will take participants
through tasting four different wines
(sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, pinot
noir and cabernet) in varietal spe-
cific glasses, pointing out how each
changes the way the wine tastes and
breathes.
Its amazing how important it is
to taste a certain type of wine in the
right glass. It almost seems like your
mind is playing tricks on you, said
Kaufmann, who was as surprised as
most of the participants who had their
eyes (and noses) opened when the
seminar debuted last year. Its great
to provide that educational aspect so
people can learn a little more about
appreciating wine, how to get the
true flavors and scents, and all the
attributes of a wine. As an added
attraction, guests can keep the tast-
ing vessels, a four-piece boxed set of
Riedel Vinum XL wine glasses, valued
at $123.
Fridays Sunset Rare & Reserve
Wine Tasting (6:30-9pm at Chase Palm
Mark DeCarlo, Emmy Award-winning comedian
and former host of Travel Channels Taste of
America, will host the Great Guacamole Throw

com. MJ
O
ne of my favorite things
about being involved in the
real estate business is that I
get to attend the broker open house
tours that mostly feature new listings
or properties that are asking agents
to take another look... The fact that
my job requires that I visit and tour
unique properties, mostly new to
the market and exciting to see, in
my own neighborhood, while I am
sometimes ofered lunch as well, is a
fun perk.
During the broker open houses,
this is often the moment when the
agents present a home to the sales
community for the first time, and
everyone heats up, talks about it,
and evaluates the listing. Most often,
especially in recent years, when a
property hits the market, people
often choose to look at it as either:
Lets wait and see if they come
down in price or We better grab
this deal before someone else does.
In the past few years, many buy-
ers have been doing the Lets wait
and see if it comes down in price
approach, and sometimes saving sig-
nificantly by waiting for price drops.
However, as well-priced properties
begin to move quickly into escrow
during a market turnaround, buy-
ers must start to prepare for serious
action when making an offer, if they
want the house to be theirs.
This week, while on the broker
open house tour, I liked everything
I saw. From a small family home on
Chelham with a studio in back, to a
Tuscan mini castle with substantial
ocean views on Woodley, to a mid-
century home on Arcady, with pool
and tropical grounds, to a remodeled
home on Eucalyptus Hill Road offer-
ing fine finishes, off-street parking
and expansive grounds.
Here is a look at 4 of the great
properties I viewed this week on our
broker open house tour, all of which
are new on the market.
684 Chelham Way $985,000
This recently updated home is
in the Cold Spring School District
and rests on a sunny, 60x120 lot in
the Montecito foothills. The house
includes three bedrooms and two
baths and the remodeled kitchen
features maple cabinets, granite
counters and an adjoining laundry
area. Additional upgrades include
a skylight in the hallway, remod-
eled bath, and hardwood floors.
The backyard opens up to a large
wood deck with built-in bench seat-
ing leading to a grassy yard area
and trees beyond. In the back of the
property, above the detached 2-car
garage is a separate, large studio
with views. There is lower-main-
tenance landscaping, and the vast
open area of Westmont College as
your neighbor to the east, can give
the feeling of a much larger lot.
933 Arcady $1,595,000
This 1974 home offers two bed-
rooms, a sunroom/den and two
and a half bathrooms. The A-frame
beamed living room windows offer
nice treetop and mountain views,
while being private at the same
time. The home sits up a driveway,
on a nice north-facing one-acre lot,
offering mature, tropical and local
landscaping. There is a walking

bath home in the Cold

Festival (12noon-4pm at
the ocean side of Chase
Palm Park) is a larger
smorgasbord similar to
the typical wine-and-tast-
ing events, with scores
of wineries and a couple
of dozen food providers
covering the lawn amid
craft booths and more.
But even here, the sheer
size of the event allows
for grouping via region,
Kaufmann explained,
which gives visitors an
opportunity to organize
their tasting experience. Its the
best to get your feet wet. You have
a chance to discover which varietals
or regions you prefer. There are large
groups to sample so you get a lot of
information. It can open your eyes to
styles and varietals that you might
enjoy.
Every major wine region in
California is represented, Kaufmann
said. They come from all over the
state. You can taste from Napa Valley
to San Diego in one location on the
beach in Santa Barbara all in one after-
noon. You cant really beat that.

Ernies World
by Ernie Witham
For more heavy humor pick up a copy of Ernies book: A Year in the Life of a
Working Writer, available at Chaucers and at erniesworld.com.
I
ve had a rocky couple of weeks.
First we went to Los Angeles to
see Levitated Mass, the largest
thing ever moved by man.
Levitated Mass is a work of art,
according to people who obviously
know a lot more about art than I
do. Basically its a great big rock,
sitting on top of a pathway, which
they call a slot, that slowly descends
below the rock and ascends back out
the other side, so that you can walk
under the thing, admire its bottom,
and say clever things to each other
like:
Long time no see. Where you been,
living under a rock?
And: Look, I just went from Los
Angeles to Boulder and back in five
minutes!
Apparently, the artist, Michael
Heizer, got the idea for his creation
in 1969. I, too, had a lot of interest-
ing thoughts in the late 60s, but Ive
pretty much forgotten most of them
by now, not counting the occasional
flashback:
You know I dont mind the
patchouli incense, or the tie dye, but
if you insist on wearing those bell bot-
toms, we need to let them out about
forty years worth.
Heizer held onto his big thought,
though, until he finally discovered an
appropriate boulder decades later in
2007 in Riverside County, California.
Then it took him five years to figure
out how to move the 340-ton granite
behemoth and how to get someone to
pay for it. In 1969, he probably could
have found a bunch of guys with VW
vans willing to try it.
Far out, man. I was levitating
myself just last night.
How trippy, me too.
I say group transcendental medita-
tion, man.
Righteous!
But in 2012, things are more com-
plicated and it took 11 days to move
the thing 105 miles to the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art on a massive
trailer that could only move 5 miles
per hour through a bunch of cities and
counties that all required large-rock-
moving permits.
Megalith relocation? Youre gonna
need, like, Forms Nineteen A though
Eighty-Seven F... Is that a picture of it?
Hmm. You know, I may have medi-
tated at that thing once...
Anyway, its not just the rock or the
slot but the creative use of negative
space that makes it worth the ten mil-
lion bucks it costs to create it. A gift of
rich art patrons that decided this was
more important than offshore bank-
ing. And I did feel a certain bond in
that we traveled about 105 miles to
descend and un-descend with hoards
of other curious folks, some of whom
were texting the entire time and prob-
ably wondered why it got dark for a
second. Plus, I strained a lower back
muscle trying to get a photo of it,
which added to the heaviness of the
experience.
So, full of inspiration and the need
to support rock art, my wife and I
took on a mini-megalith project of
our own when we purchased some
very heavy steppingstones for our
new bonsai garden. Our art only had
to travel a few miles from the stone
store. And we hired our friend Mario
and his crew to maneuver them into
position. Unfortunately, the only way
to see the bottoms of them now is to
be reincarnated as an earthworm, but
they are nice looking from the top and
very natural.
We need to put sealer on them.
What? I took off my rose-colored
glasses and beaded headband and
looked at my wife. Michael Heizer
didnt have to put any sealer on his
rock.
True, but he wont have any wine-
drinking, hot-dog-eating friends walk-
ing on it either.
So, one hour and two Advil later,
my rocks were sealed and I sat
down to admire them when my wife
handed me a card and said: Happy
Birthday.
Wow! Really! Id almost forgotten.
Your gift is in the back of the SUV.
Holding my lower back, I shuffled
out to the driveway only to find... Its
a bag of rocks.
Yes, but look, theyre polished jade.
Theyll look great under the Japanese
Maples.
I hefted the bag. It weighed almost
as much as the Levitated Mass.
Next inspirational exhibit I visit will
involve feathers, I hope. MJ
Heavy, Man. Heavy.
