Good-bye Sammy
J
udith D. Sammy Case passed
away at Sarah House in Santa
Barbara on Saturday morning,
January 19; she was being held in the
arms of her soul mate, Perry Cabugos,
as her soul departed. Also nearby were
many of the friends that stayed by her
side during much of the difficulties of
the last few months of her life.
Sammy was born September 23,
1958, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania and
was taken from us by a rare disease
thymus cancer.
Sammy died as she lived, a war-
rior maiden who left home at an early
age and headed for Montreal, Canada,
where she landed a job as a model.
Blonde-haired and beach-volleyball-fit
in a world of fair-skinned dark-haired
women, Sammy soon was sought after
as a bathing suit model representing
the California Girl look. When she
eventually moved to California, she
landed in Santa Barbara and imme-
diately took up bicycling, swimming
and surfing; she entered many Rincon
Classics and came in 2nd place in two
of them. She also competed in the Santa
Barbara Triathlon for many years. With her job as a waitress at Brophy Bros., she
became a friend to many of the fishermen at the harbor. She served a stint as a
tender on an abalone boat, surfed the islands, traveled to Baja, and engaged her
passion for the ocean throughout her life in Santa Barbara.
Sammy was a sincere and reliable friend, tough on what she believed, and
someone that stood up for those she loved with a sledge hammer. She held
womens circles under a full moon, tended her dear friend Bill Slack in his
final days, embraced Chumash culture and loved the Great Outdoors. Sammy
shifted her work from Brophys to Luckys when it opened, and became known
to many in Montecito. She took care of their dogs and homes, and saved the life
of a woman diner who was choking on something; for this deed, she ended up
on the front page of Montecito Journal. Sam put herself through Santa Barbara
City College, then UCSB, graduating with a BA in History in 2004. During this
time, she joined a Santa Barbara mentor program wherein she sponsored and
cared for a young girl, Yareli, for many years as if she was in her own family.
Sammy passed at 10 am but she stayed in her peaceful room at Sarah House
until 4 pm, when the morticians came. We chose it this way. We could be with
her, talk with her or each other, pay reverence. In the sunlit patio off her room
we could sit, talk, and commiserate; Sarah House put out lunch in the dining
room for us, and anyone who came by. It was like being in our own home. As it
came close to the time of her leaving Sarah House, Perry gave Sam a Chumash
blessing: burning white sage and with eagle feather, blessing her and all of us
in the room. We tossed flower petals in front of her gurney as she was taken
out the door (the petals are still there today), and Perry gave her a final kiss
goodbye before she left in the van. We all felt we had witnessed a birth instead
of a death; it is a powerful memory and we will be eternally grateful to Sarah
House for allowing us this freedom and home in which to experience such
a spiritual transformation.
The next day, Perry, Laura Sangas, and I went back to Sarah House and col-
lected the few things left in her room. When we were packed up and ready
to leave, we looked at the room with its red velvet curtains giving the sunlit
walls a rose glow, and we began to comment on what we felt: that there was no
sadness or emptiness there. There was in fact a lot of soul in that space, of the
IN PASSING by Hillary Hauser
Ms Hauser first met Sammy Case in the late 1980s at Brophy Bros., where Sammy worked. They were
both involved with the Santa Barbara Harbor; Hillary was married to an abalone fisherman, Sammy
had tended gear for an urchin diver. About 10 years later Sammy dropped by Hillarys house on her
way home from surfing Rincon and Hillary handed her a manuscript shed just finished writing, to see
what she thought of it. This was Another Day at the Beach? that ran in the Santa Barbara News-Press
as an editorial in August 1998, resulting in a public demonstration at the Santa Barbara County admin-
istration building and the formation of Heal the Ocean, of which Hillary is the longtime president and
executive director.
Sammy Case (left) and Hillary Hauser have been
friends for nearly a quarter of a century. A pad-
dle-out and flotilla at sea to honor and celebrate
the life of Judith D. Sammy Case (28 September
1958 19 January 2013) is planned for Saturday
January 26, beginning at noon

Milts Magical Journey
Monte ito
Miscellany
by Richard Mineards
Richard covered the Royal Family for Britains Daily Mirror and Daily Mail before moving to New York
to write for Rupert Murdochs newly launched Star magazine in 1978; Richard later wrote for New York
magazines Intelligencer. He continues to make regular appearances on CBS, ABC, and CNN, and
moved to Montecito five years ago.
M
agic mogul Milt Larsen is
clearly on the right track
with his new autobiography,
My Magical Journey: The First 30,000
Days.
Milt, 81, who commutes between his
Santa Barbara home and Los Angeles,
where he owns Hollywoods legend-
ary Magic Castle, used his travel time
on the Amtrak train to write much of
the 295-page book on his laptop.
I guess I started writing it the day
I was born, he laughs. We were
the Larsen family of magicians and,
although my career has branched into
all forms of show business with radio,
stage, TV and films, it has all been
influenced by the art of magic. In
essence I have never varied from my
chosen craft.
His late father, William, an L.A.
defense attorney, was a performing
magician, and mother, Geraldine, an
early TV pioneer in childrens enter-
tainment known as the Magic Lady.
The couple launched Genii, the
Conjurors Magazine in 1936, which
is still in publication.
Its quite a background, says
Milt, who opened the Magic Castle, a
short distance from the world famous
Hollywood sign, in 1963. At the time
he was a writer for the classic Ralph
Edwards audience participation TV
show Truth or Consequences, starring
Bob Barker.
He also served as a creative con-
sultant on the 1971 Disney film
Bedknobs and Broomsticks with Angela
Lansbury.
Milts latest lavishly illustrated tome
is his fourth book centered on the
Magic Castle, which is about to star in
a fantasy action film. It is now in final
script changes and will be produced
by Ted Fields Radar Pictures, he
explains, as he also re-writes the pop-
ular spots tour book, first published
in 1998, to mark its 50th anniversary.
He is also involved in the restora-
tion of two vintage downtown the-
aters, the Cameo and the Arcade,
where he intends to stage Little Old
Broadway, a musical comedy he co-
wrote with Mary Poppins songwriter
Richard Sherman, which premiered
at the Granada in 2008 as Pazzazz!
Milt will be publicizing his new
book at CALMs 27th annual celeb-
rity authors lunch at Fess Parkers
DoubleTree on March 16...
Drews New Endeavor
Montecitos Drew Barrymore is
becoming quite the entrepreneur.
Having launched her Barrymore
brand of Pinot Grigio two years ago,
the accomplished actress, producer
and director is now debuting her own
beauty brand.
Drew, who married in our rarefied
enclave last year to art consultant Will
Kopelman they have a four-month-
old daughter, Olive is not just star-
ring in the ad campaign or splashing
her name on the box.
She says she is growing Flower cos-
metics, which is named after her pro-
duction company which she founded
in 1995, and will be sold exclusively in
Walmart stores, from the ground up.
I think it could last, and my daugh-
ter could work on it someday, says
Drew, 37. I think Ive earned the right
to do it, after so many years working

with CoverGirl, and Ive been in a
makeup chair since I was six.
While development and production
have moved quickly, taking about 18
months to sign the deals with Wal-
Mart Stores Inc. and New York-based
manufacturer Maesa to launch with
181 products, she has attended hun-
dreds of meetings and flown thou-
sands of miles to get the project off
the ground.
She spent five years as co-creative
director as a CoverGirl for beauty
behemoth Procter & Gamble and says
she went into her new cosmetics line
with big ideas, but also realistic expec-
tations.
I really wanted the money to go
into the formula. Women shouldnt
have to pay a lot to look and feel their
best.
Flower cosmetics, which includes
eye shadow, lip colors, nail polishes
and mascaras, range in price from just
$5 to $14...
Words of Wisdom
As the Oscars loom large next
month, veteran actor Kirk Douglas
admits he is not keen on celebrity-
packed presentation ceremonies,
although he does turn out annually
to present his eponymous award as
part of the Santa Barbara International
Film Festival, which kicks off this
week with a host of stars, includ-
ing Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day-
Lewis, Ben Affleck and Amy Adams.
I actually rarely go unless Im pre-
senting, the 96-year-old Montecito
film legend tells the latest issue of
Vanity Fair.
I always bring a savvy guide to get
me in and out in record time. In 2010,
I presented Best Supporting Actress
at the Oscars to Melissa Leo at 6:15
pm. I was back home in Beverly Hills
nibbling potatoes and caviar with my
wife at 6:50!
Kirk says the best thing about the
Academy Awards is having a son,
Michael, and daughter-in-law,
Catherine Zeta-Jones, he can cheer
for.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

She Didnt Write It
M
ontecito Journal regrets that
a letter to the editor (As
Goes Israel, MJ # 19/3)
attributed to Colleen Graffy, London,
England was not written by her. We
apologize for the misattribution.
A Taxing Situation
It sounds to me like the Federal
Government taxing the base pay of
wait staff is just to make a buck (No
Tipping Here, MJ # 9/3). I know
there is no average tip. Some wait staff
can make a significant amount more
than other wait staff depending on
where they work, the time they work,
their personality and how much busi-
ness the restaurant does. In my day
(the 1980s) no wait staff worked for
their base pay at all, because it was
less than minimum wage. I say let the
restaurant pay their wait staff a decent
living wage. It seems to me the price
of food has more than doubled. Then
the wait staff doesnt have to worry
about whether or not they will make
low tips for breakfast or hundreds for
a crowded dinner shift.
Amy Walker
Santa Barbara
(Editors Note: If only it were that sim-
ple As a former restaurant owner, I know
that when employee pay reaches 27% of the
gross, we are pretty much maxed out as
far as those costs go. If wages pushed that
percentage to over 30% we, as restaurant
owners, would be on our way out. But,
okay, I guess we can live with fewer and
more expensive restaurants. We can, after
all, cook our own food and eat at home.
That puts a lot of college kids out of work
but thats the price of paying a decent liv-
ing wage. It really isnt all that simple, as
stated initially above. J.B.)

On the Road
to nationals
Who: Santa Barbara High School
Competition Cheer Team
What: Dons Dollar Drive
Dons Cheerleaders are On the
Road to Nationals in the hopes of
repeating by winning the USA
Nationals Varsity Show Cheer title for
their division. This years competi-
tion team has a very good chance to
capture this dream. They have won
two USA Regionals tournaments by
taking first place in both Varsity Show
Cheer (novice) and Varsity Group
Stunt Cheer (intermediate) twice
on January 12 in San Juan Capistrano
and January 19 in Agoura Hills. Now,
they are On the Road to Nationals
and they will need the communitys
help to get there.
The Dons Competition Cheer Team,
comprised of 32 teens and 4 coaches,
needs to raise just over $9,000 to go
to USA Nationals held March 15, 16,
and 17 in Anaheim. The cost includes
registration fees, travel, lodging and
food. The Dons Cheer team has been
fundraising since before the school
year began in order to support their
entire school cheer program and not
just the dream of Nationals. The kids
and their families (parents, grand-
parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins)
have washed nearly 1,000 cars, held
several rummage sales, sold a few
hundred pounds of cookie dough,
hosted a BBQ Drive Thru, made near-
ly 1,500 tamales, and now they are
running their second On the Road to
Nationals Dollar Drive.
To follow this seasons competition

More On Tipping
(or not)
I want to congratulate Amy Walker
for her recent letter about tipping or,
more to the point, about not tipping.
Ms Walker expressed bewildered out-
rage when a local restaurant denied
her service because she had not tipped
after a previous meal. I read her letter
in awe.
Ms Walker writes that she has
never thought of tipping as manda-
tory. It is not mandatory, Ms Walker;
it is a well-established social con-
tract that the majority of diners accept
and happily engage in when pro-
vided good service. Emily Post herself
points out that sit-down wait service
deserves, based again on quality of
service, a tip of 15-20% pre-tax. And
Ill point out, as most regular diners
know, hardworking waitpersons are
paid a low hourly wage and depend
on tips for the bulk of their income.
Ms Walker claims to eat out often;
how could she possibly be unaware
of this? She goes on to crow that she
doesnt tip taxis anymore either, add-
ing They have never said anything
and certainly dont refuse me service.
Believe me, Ms Walker, if any taxi
driver knew of your tipping policy
before accepting you as a fare, I could
safely guarantee you many long, lone-
ly hours on local street corners. And
they may not say anything to you
while youre in the process of stiffing
them, but as soon as youre out of ear-
shot again, trust me what theyre
saying couldnt be printed here.
In her most jaw-dropping statement,
Ms Walker tells us she was finan-
cially advised a few years ago to give
up tipping because the price of food
at restaurants has gone up so high.
Who exactly are your financial advi-
sors, Ms Walker? The firm of Scrooge
and Marley? If restaurant costs offend
you, why punish the hard-working
individuals trying to make a living
in the employ of the people who set
the prices on the menu? The correct
advice, given your complaint, would
be to cut out this excessive cost com-
pletely by cooking your own meals
and eating them at home.

Kudos To Kelly
Even thought 2013 is underway,
I want to go backwards by a few
weeks and thank Montecito Journals
Managing Editor, Kelly Mahan,
for her excellent 2012 annual state
of the community roundup story
(Montecitos Year In Review MJ #
19/1).
Kelly knocked it out of the park by
giving the readers a comprehensive
multi-faceted recollection that enu-
merated and wove together our many
2012 Montecito milestones in land use,
commerce and community. She tamed
an unwieldy task through concise
writing and excellent photographs,
making her summary-story an easy
read and a keeper article.
The 2012-wrap story made me
realize that its the Montecito Journal
that binds us together as a commu-
nity, keeping us informed, expressive,
connected and vigilant. Thank-you,
Journal, for your many years of dili-
gence, and special kudos to Kelly for
a job well done!

The 9/10 Solution
Late 1929, the United States saw the
beginning of the Great Depression.
The 75 million population continued
to broaden the use of the automobile.
Gasoline was five cents a gallon with
no tax added. Then later, it was raised
to ten cents a gallon. A tradition began
that is still strangely with us 9/10
gallon additional.
The cost of our fuel is now terrifi-
cally inflated, with high federal, state,
county and city taxes added. Isnt it
time to eliminate the petty 80-plus
year-old gouge?

Too Too Handsome
How dare you!! Me, a phony!? (Who
Is That Man? Letters to the Editor, MJ
# 19/3). To satisfy anybodys curios-
ity, heres a just-taken pic of me with
my bro, Clem. (Thats me with the
watch.)
Actually, Burned is a real last name
as one may see from the following
persons search links... so there!
Cordially yourself,
Ben Burned
Montecito
(Editors note: Mr. Burned sent along
a photo of two men looking distinctly
hillbilly, which MJ publisher Tim Buckley
refused to print. The persons search
links found one individual in the entire
United States with the last name of
Burned. So, we are left to conclude
were not exactly sure. J.B.)
Saving Los Patos
As Montecito residents and as the
owner of a business in the Las Aves
complex on Los Patos Way, we share
the concern expressed by a recent let-
ter (Protecting The Bird Refuge MJ
# 19/2) and your editorial comments
about the Montecito Associations
Highway 101 plan, which proposes to
use Los Patos as a southbound free-
way on-ramp.
While we commend the Montecito
Associations attempt to find a lower
cost and less intrusive alternative to
the Caltrans proposals, the impact
of the Los Patos aspect of their plan
is potentially devastating to the
lanes businesses. Dozens and doz-
ens of patients, clients and custom-
ers of those businesses have alerted
SBCAG of their concern about using
Los Patos as a freeway feeder road.
They pointed out they would be
forced to patronize other businesses
if congestion created by freeway on-
ramp traffic, as proposed by the
Montecito Associations plan, makes
ingress or egress to our parking
areas difficult or unpleasant. Should
Los Patos be used as an on-ramp,
the disruption to business would be
the equivalent of the confiscation of
private property without compensa-
tion.
The Caltrans configuration
F-Modified avoids using Los Patos
and has the added benefit of build-
ing a new southbound on-ramp
at Cabrillo that would relieve the
congestion on Coast Village Road.
This alternative would not harm any

A Global History, a richly illustrated book which tells the

sacred to many of the worlds great religions. The lemon
traveled with Arabs along ancient trade routes, came of
age in Sicily and Italy, and sailed to the New World with
Columbus. It was an exotic luxury in seventeenth-century
Europe and later went on to save the lives of thousands of sailors in the British Royal
Navy after being recognized as a cure for scurvy. The last century saw the lemons
rise to commercial success in a California citrus empire and discovery of the Meyer
lemon.

Remarkable Life Award
SEEn Page 164
L
ifeChronicles gave its first ever
Father Virgil Remarkable Life
Award event at the Coral Casino
filled with over 200 friends and guests
of the honorees Stan and Betty Hatch.
After the meet and greet hour with
silent auction, we sat down for dinner.
Founder and executive director
Kate Carter credited Judi Weisbart
with producing the evening along
with co-chairs Tom Parker and Larry
Crandell. Kate told how she came to
start LifeChronicles. In 1998 when
a friend of mine was dying and her
young children would have nothing to
remember her by, I had a calling. Their
father had died only fifteen months
before. That was the beginning of
LifeChronicles, whose mission is to
create a legacy video of the life and
memories of people who may not have
long to live. It allows them to live on.
Judi echoed Kates story by saying,
I was eight years old when my father
died of a massive heart attack. I have
no memory of him. After 15 years,
LifeChronicles has helped more than
1,000 clients preserve memories and
expressions of love on video. It costs
about $2,500 to make one and through
donations, the organization is able to
serve all who request its services.
Vice chair of LifeChronicles Nicole
Tanner introduced a film of its work.
There was a taped testimonial by model
and business mogul Kathy Ireland,
When I first came to Bettys Labelle
Modeling Agency I couldnt even make
eye contact. She gave me a chance.
Kathy not only became an international
model featured on several covers of
Sports Illustrated, but also runs a clothing
company worth millions.
I first met Betty (and later Stan) when
I moved to Santa Barbara from Spain in
1977 and went to her modeling agency
to teach. I ended up modeling and also
doing sales for the classes we taught.
Life was always exciting. You never
knew what would happen next when
the phone rang. There were jobs on Los
Angeles runways, being extras in mov-
ies and hundreds of tearoom shows
locally. We worked together for 17
fabulous years until the agency closed.
Thanks, Betty, for adding such a grand
dimension to my life.
Betty and her attorney husband,
Stan, have both served on innumer-
able boards helping their community
along the way. Their list of credits is
equally long so it was appropriate they
both received the first Father Virgil
Remarkable Life Award. The award
introduction was by Steve Amerikaner
and Anne Towbes while the presenta-
tion was by Friar Charles Talley, pas-
tor of the Old Mission.
As Larry Crandell said, You didnt
have to be a Catholic to know Father
Virgil. LifeChronicles was asked to
do a video of him. At the time of his
recordings he expressed his wish to
support their work and thus the Father
Virgil Remarkable Life Award was cre-
ated. It will be presented annually and
will provide a way to memorialize him
for those not fortunate enough to have
known him. Father Virgil always said,
Happiness is an inside job.
There were cards on our tables stat-
ing, We apologize if the pillars block
your view, but appreciate you for being
pillars in our community. For more
information about LifeChronicles, call
866-998-5433 or email lifechronicles@

Healing Through Art
CALM (Child Abuse Listening
Mediation) held a most unique
luncheon. Not only did the chefs
donned aprons, but so did the guests.
After mingling on the terrace of the
Coral Casino we went inside where
it looked more like an art studio
than lunch. The tables were covered
in butcher paper and centered with
paint cans full of flowers. Each place
had a palate of paint, a small blank
canvas, brushes, a rinse jar and paper
towels. I needed lots of those. And of
course, an apron.
Committee member Anne Yungling
told the audience that painting dur-
ing the event would be fun and
educate us about how CALM uses
art therapy with abused children. I
wasnt so sure about the fun part; I
draw stick figures. But never fear,
an art instructor from the Painted
Cabernet was there to teach us how,
and wonderfully she did.
We all painted a version of a pic-
ture of blue hydrangeas she had on
display, except for those rogue artists
who didnt want to color inside the
lines. The instructor demonstrated
step by step and amazingly mine
looked somewhat like the flowers.

You can go to the Painted Cabernet at
1229 State Street and do a little paint-
ing, have a little wine and a lot of fun.
We also heard from Christine
Scott, a registered art therapist. She
has many heart wrenching stories
of kids she has helped. One was
about Angelica who is now 17,
but was sexually assaulted by an
adult male relative at age 10. As a
young teen she began doing drugs,
drinking and failing at school. After
being referred to CALM and work-
ing with Christine, Angelica learned
to express her buried emotions in art
when she couldnt find the words.
Now she attends high school and
SBCC and wants to eventually be a
counselor herself.
Another child wrote, After I came
to CALM my therapist made me see
life a different way. Now I want to
live. Christine helped me to see and
learn so much. She taught me how to
tell if someone is safe or dangerous.
Im happier and I have someone who
is only good to me. Without CALM
I would probably be dead. I am fif-
teen.
CALMs executive director Cecilia
Rodriguez reminded everyone about
the I Will Not Be Silent campaign,
which asked people to report any
cases of child abuse they might know
about. CALMs waiting list doubled
in just one month after the campaign
began. One 39-year-old man called
to say he had been molested when
he was five but after seeing the I
Will Not Be Silent public service
announcement, he decided it was
time to speak up. Board president
Bridget Foreman also invites every-
one to speak up.
District Attorney Joyce Dudley, a
voice for the abused, was the auc-
tioneer. The items were mostly theme
related like a portrait of you or your
pet by Rise Delmar Ochsner, or hav-
ing the Painted Cabernet come to
your home along with 10 of your
friends to paint, wine and dine.

Lance Boosts OWN Ratings
Fallen champion cyclist Lance
Armstrongs backpedalling on Oprah
Winfreys troubled L.A. based cable
network, OWN, turned into a ratings
and financial bonanza for the former
TV talk show titan.
Armstrong, winner of seven Tour
de France titles during his pro career,
admitted to using banned perfor-
mance-enhancing drugs, having vehe-
mently denied doping for a decade.
The two-hour interview, originally
scheduled to air on one night, was
spread over two nights, generating
more ad time which was being sold at
premium rates.
The event on Oprahs Next
Chapter attracted 4.3 million view-
ers, a record for OWN, which aver-
aged 147,000 viewers aged 25 to 54
during primetime in 2012.
A chunk of ad time for the Armstrong
interview was pre-sold to regular
advertisers, while the remaining com-
mercial time was sold in the final days
leading up to the telecasts in the scat-
ter market, which commands higher
prices than the pre-sold rates.
Ongoing OWN sponsors include
General Motors, Target and cereal
giant, Kellogg.
Prior to the Armstrong interview,
the previous record for viewers was
in March 2012, when the late sing-
er Whitney Houstons daughter was
interviewed, attracting 3.5 million
viewers...
Ciao Christopher
Longtime Montecito resident,
Christopher Lloyd, has just sold his
home for $5.1 million.
The 74-year-old Emmy-winning
actor, best known as the eccentric sci-
entist in the Back to the Future sci-fi tril-
ogy, built the Umbrian-style property
on a five-acre site after his original
home was burned in the 2008 Tea Fire,
which destroyed 210 properties in the
area.
In 2007 he listed the original prop-
erty for $11,275,000.
The new 4,600-sq-ft house, featuring
four bedrooms and four and a half
baths, is single level and boasts a spa,
expansive gardens and a bocce ball
court.

the entire community. Even if the
Montecito Associations plan mini-
mizes the temporary disruption
caused by the freeway construction,
it will permanently create hardship
for the business owners on Los Patos
and irrevocably change the character
of the Bird Refuge.
We urge anyone sharing these con-
cerns to express them to the Montecito
Association and our elected officials.

He Fears
The nut Cases
Yes, affluent areas pay a dispro-
portionate share of taxes as to what
they receive back from government.
This is because affluent areas have
much more expensive housing and
building values and for all intents
and purposes need the same amount
of government infrastructure work as
other less affluent areas. Schools are
one exception. The average wealthy
person has far fewer children than
working people do. There are other
reasons as well.
This lopsided system is also true
with taxes collected by the feder-
al government from the 50 states.
The more prosperous states pay more
to the government than they get back
in government spending and services.
California, New Jersey and New York
are among several federal tax donor
states. They send much more money
to Washington than they get back in
federal dollars.
It is interesting to me that the same
right-wing southern Republican and
the racists among them in the con-
gress, whose states receive much
more money in government spending
than they send to Washington, are
the same members of congress who
were self righteous in their opposi-
tion to Sandy storm-assistance fund-
ing to those terrible people who lost
everything in New York and New
Jersey. These Republican congress
members are hypocrites. All they have
missing as a modern reincarnation of
the KU Klux Klan are White sheets,
hoods, burning crosses and night rid-
ers making an attempt to burn down
the White House occupied by that
skinny black guy from Chicago who
they hate with a passion!
I am not afraid of the terrorists. We
can handle them. I am afraid of the
nut cases and outright racists in the
Republican-controlled House and
those in the Senate! They are attempting
to destroy our country to further their
whacko political and social agendas.
Best regards,
Ernie Solomon
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: Hmmm, lets see: right-
wing southern Republican and the rac-
ists among them self righteous
hypocrites Ku (sic) Klux Klan
White sheets, hoods, burning crosses and
night riders burn down the White
House nut cases and outright rac-
ists whacko political and social agen-
das. And all this because some whacko
congressmen actually believe the country
should only spend money it has, or find
somewhere in the current budget to cut
in order to pay for an emergency? Really?
Wow. What kind of verbiage are you
saving for something you really disagree
with? J.B.)
Food Stamps Galore
As a visitor to Montecito, I browsed
with interest a recent issue of the
Montecito Journal. I was disappointed
and dismayed by the tone of the letters
and editorial comments in response to
an earlier letter or article concerning
Food Stamps. These commentaries
against food stamps and related
income subsidy programs sounded
astoundingly begrudging coming
from residents of one of Americas
most affluent communities. The
average Adjusted Gross Income for
Montecito (Zip 93108) was $222,800
in 2010, which placed the commu-
nity among the top 4-5% of American
communities. This is about ten-times
the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) for a
family of four that is used as the eligi-
bility basis for Californias food stamp
program, CalFresh.
CalFresh provides an average ben-
efit of $200 per month to those with
incomes below the FPL with resources
(e.g., savings, property) no greater than
$2,000. By the way, CalFresh requires
all able-bodied persons (18-49) with-
out dependents to work 20 hours per
week, and benefits can be used only
to purchase food or seeds and plants
to grow food for human consumption.
(Excluded is any food that will be eaten
in the store or marketed to be heated in
the store, except at an approved restau-
rant for a meals program.)
None of the letters to the editor
complained about welfare provided
to affluent households in the form
of itemized deductions (e.g., home
mortgages), which reduce income
subject to federal and state taxes, or
in the form of preferential tax rates
for dividends and capital gains. In
2004, residents of Montecito benefited
considerably more from these forms
of governmental welfare than the
rest of California. For Montecito and
California respectively, average tax-
able dividends were $21,000 versus
$2,400; average Capital Gains were
$169,000 vs. $23,400, and average
Itemized Deductions were $93,300 vs.
$28,100. These forms of income sub-
sidy have contributed considerably
to the growing disparities in wealth
in the United States over the past
two decades and have relatively insu-
lated affluent households from the
impact of the greatest recession since
the Depression of the 1930s.
My bottom line: If you are against
government income subsidies for food
to the poor, you should be equally
opposed to government income sub-
sidies through the tax code to the
wealthy.
Sincerely yours,
Ronald Abeles
Bethesda, Maryland
(Editors note: Its tough to be against
pretty much any giveaway if one is among
the wealthier classes of citizens, but our
point is that these food subsidies are
overused and abused. Another thing to
remember: any income subsidies offered
to the wealthy are simply ways of allow-
ing productive citizens to remain self
sufficient. After all, it is or was their
money. Savings and productivity are what
make a country great, not giveaways or
income redistribution. For the record, we
are for eliminating all subsidies and in
favor of a flat tax, one that everyone pays
regardless of income level. J.B.)

am familiar with the campus and the
community. I was greatly angered to
read the missive that contains much
false information.
I would like to share what I
know: 1) The MUS Custodians and
Groundskeepers are beyond compare.
They do phenomenal work. 2) MUS
parents are one of the greatest assets of
the school. 3) The auditorium is in need
of a makeover. It is a building from
the early 1900s and it has not enjoyed
adequate upgrades over the years. The
writer of the letter has made a broad
comment on the school based on a
single visit that occurred on a day that
the school was filled with numerous
outside guests, just like her.
MUS is one of many great educa-
tional facilities in our neighborhood.
There is much to be proud about
when referring to our school, which
boasts an exceptional faculty, high
test scores, and especially beautiful
grounds. These facts provide one
rationale for the increasing price of
family homes.
If the MUS Facility is to meet the stan-
dards of the education, we all know it
should be upgraded. Beyond the need
for plant improvements, everything
about the school is quite remarkable.
If you actually knew the place, that
would be abundantly clear. I am proud
that our son attends MUS, I cant imag-
ine him being anywhere else.
Sincerely,
Heidi Jensen

Response to Letter:
What a Mess
As a member of the parent body
at Montecito Union School I have to
say I was delighted and entertained
by the wonderful Holiday concert,
which took place in our beautiful, yet
humble auditorium.
The Administrators. Music teachers
and the Students put on an amazing
show.
We must remember Montecito Union
has had only minor renovations over
the past three decades. The school has
no gymnasium, no cafeteria and the
auditorium was built over a hundred
years ago. It is used for every gath-
ering & event thinkable. The facility
manager and his staff manage to fit
us all in. As for What a Messs com-
ment regarding sitting like a sardine
and the seats which appear to have
been here since the auditorium was
first built: I happen to love the old
wooden benches (myth has it that they
were donated years ago from a former
church), and besides, it would cost tens
of thousands of dollars to replace them.
I must comment on the trash men-
tioned by your reader. Montecito
Union is very proud of its Green
Ribbon status, which is given selec-
tively to schools, which meet a high
criteria for sustainability, composting,
recycling etc
The facility staff, although small,
works diligently to keep the grounds
beautiful and at the same time helps
a group of parents who are passion-
ate about waste to educate and train
the schools staff and student body
on how to divert waste from landfill.
The children take great pride in their
school by taking care of their cam-
pus. For example at our carnival last
spring 97% of the waste was diverted
from landfill. At the Dads Pancake
Breakfast this past fall, 99%. In gener-
al, waste at our big events is diverted.
I am certain that the majority of the
community is very proud of this gem
of a school and appreciate its con-
tribution to Montecito as a beautiful
vibrant place for our children to learn.
It is a privilege to live here and for my
children to be educated here.
And yes, funds will need to be
raised to update the school in many
ways including, durability, environ-
mentally, safety and space. So, I would
invite anyone from the community
who has a passion for education, the
arts or waste come help out by volun-
teering time, tools or funds!
Thank you for your time.
Warm wishes,

Kim Comes Clean
The ubiquitous Kim Kardashian
has come in for a lot of flak after her
over-the-top Montecito nuptials to pro
basketball player Kris Humphries in
August 2011.
But one thing the much hyped event
wasnt was a fraud to boost ratings,
she told CBS talk show host David
Letterman.
Even if we got an annulment I
would love to give him one , the
only legal way would be if fraud was
involved, so thats what is tricky.
So he is suing me for an annulment
based on the fact that I frauded him in

But Kardashian, 32, is vehemently
denying that is the case.

is the fourth phase of a larger HOV
project. It will add a third, part-time
carpool lane through Carpinteria and
Montecito.
The entire project, expected to
cost $450 million and span almost 11
miles of freeway, will require several
interchanges along the freeway to be
rebuilt to accommodate a third lane. It
requires eleven creek crossings, seven
over-crossings and four under-cross-
ings. $140 million from Measure A
has already been earmarked for the
project, as well as $150 million in gas
tax funds.
As part of the project, Caltrans has
mandated the removal of all left-hand
exits and entries, including the north-
bound Cabrillo Blvd off-ramp and
southbound Sheffield Drive off-ramp
and on-ramp, due to safety concerns.
Because of the complexity of the Hot
Springs-Cabrillo interchange, five
different configuration options have
been included in the projects Draft
Environmental Impact Review.
The MA has brought in a coalition
of organizations (dubbed Common
Sense 101) to pursue what they say is
a plan significantly better than the five
options Caltrans has suggested. The
plan, called the Community Coalition
Alternative Plan (CCAP), was engi-
neered to reduce the disruption to
business and county residents.
An advantage of the plan, accord-
ing to the group, is that it will restore
the historic vistas and view corridors,
especially Fernald Point, which will be
lost with Caltrans proposed designs.
Caltrans has overlooked or ignored
the very real concerns of residents
throughout the county in their design,
and its enormous impacts have not
been carefully thought through, said
Dick Nordlund, outgoing MA presi-
dent. It will create a serious pub-
lic safety issue when our only thor-
oughfares Hot Springs, San Ysidro,
Sheffield and East Valley will be
choked with cars, making it quite dif-
ficult for emergency vehicles to get
through, he said.
Modified F, the design Caltrans
has noted is the most likely choice,
eliminates the Los Patos Way and Hot
Springs Road exits, and calls for a new
southbound on/off ramp to be built.
Northbound, the left-hand off-ramp
at Cabrillo Blvd will be closed, and a
new northbound off-ramp would be
added. The new configuration would
require the demolition of the bridge
and moving of the lanes only recently
built during the Milpas to Hot Springs
Operational Improvements project,
which wrapped last year.
Seeing issues with construction
time, cost, and overlooked safe-
ty and congestion issues, the MAs
Transportation Committee, chaired by
Bob Short, enlisted Tom Bollay, Ron
Pulice and Jack Overall as commit-
tee members because of their techni-
cal backgrounds. With their exper-
tise and connections, the group hired
engineers and highway construction
managers to address the issues of
South Coast residents regarding safe-
ty, impacts, time, and money.
CCAP calls for keeping the south-
bound left hand exit at Hot Springs-
Cabrillo and changing Los Patos from
an exit to an entrance. Northbound,
the plan calls for closing the fast lane
exit at Cabrillo, and replacing it with
a northbound exit at Cabrillo, which
would feed into a wider, shifted
roundabout.
The CCAP plan would take less
than two years to build (versus nearly
five years) and would not close the
off-ramps used by local residents to
access their neighborhoods, schools
and activities during the construc-
tion period. Moreover, the CCAP plan
would save $50 million, according
to Overall. It also touches on other
Montecito traffic issues, including
congestion at the San Ysidro Road
southbound off-ramp, and the notori-
ously dangerously short southbound
on-ramp east of the Miramar.
On October 18, the Santa Barbara
County Association of Governments
(SBCAG) board voted 12 to 1 to require
Caltrans to conduct an Environmental
Impact Report level study of the
CCAP plan, which Caltrans original-
ly refused to do. Presentations are
being made throughout the county
to provide information and gather
widespread support. It has already
earned the endorsement of Montecito
Association, Milpas Community
Association, Santa Barbara Airbus,
Neighborhood Defense League, and
California Concern.

ight local charities are attract-
ing the attention of some pretty
young philanthropists at Crane
Country Day School thanks to an idea
born out of the schools service learn-
ing class. Cranes service learning
program requires 6
th
, 7
th
and 8
th
grade
students to select a charity or chari-
ties with which to work throughout
the course of the year. Yet for four 7
th

grade girls, this just wasnt enough.
We wanted to help more than
the three charities our class agreed
to service this year, said Shelagh
Morphy, who with classmates Grace
Johnson, Arin Pieramici and Isabel
Gonzalez created the idea of a Care
Fair that would benefit multiple
charities.
We were just sitting in class
bummed that some of our favorite
charities didnt make the cut, and we
were talking about it and came up
with the idea of a fair, noted Arin
Pieramici. The fair setting enables
many local nonprofits to participate.
Cranes first ever Care Fair will
highlight CARE 4 Paws, BUNS, the
Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation, Eyes
in the Sky, CALM, Marine Mammal
Center, All 4 Animals and the Santa
Barbara Food Bank. Each nonprofit
gets a table from which it can distrib-
ute brochures and information and
several organizations are bringing
owls, dogs and bunnies.
We are so honored to be a part
of Cranes Care Fair, says Becca
Solodon, Program and Volunteer
Coordinator for the Teddy Bear
Cancer Foundation (TBCF). Our
organization has had the privilege
of working with Crane students over
the past few years and the dedication
of the students and the help they pro-
vide is always so impressive.
The February 1 event is open to
the entire community from 3 to 4:15
pm on Cranes campus at 1795 San
Leandro Lane in Montecito. There
will be games for kids, including
a lollipop ring toss, a duck pond,
face painting, beanbag toss, arts &
crafts and a bounce house donated by
Luna Jumps. The entire 7
th
grade class
is helping to orchestrate the event.
Students hope a homemade bake
sale, popcorn stand and lemonade
booth will help generate more funds.
I thought that this idea was bril-
liant and I love the fact that the kids
came up with the concept on their
own, says service learning teacher
Janey Cohen. They werent content
with helping only a handful of chari-
ties so they created this idea to help
more, while organizing all aspects of
the fair that is truly service learning
in action.
A suggested minimum donation of
$10 per child enables kids to receive
a wristband entitling them to par-
ticipate in all games and activities.
Proceeds from the event will then be
evenly distributed among the chari-
ties.
CALM Development Associate
Ashlyn Clark says her organization
is thrilled to participate, comment-
ing, Its very inspiring to see kids
helping kids in our community.
The Crane Care Fair takes place

at Crane Country Day School, 1795

Coup De Grace
by Grace Rachow
Ms Rachow says plumbing projects might challenge any marriage,
but a great plumber can save the day
Super Plumber
W
ith increasing persistence,
the effects of climate change
are insinuating themselves
into the mystery-thriller genre, thanks
to the regular appearances of writers
from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
The unforgiving cold and bleakness of
these landscapes emerges as a subtext
in works from all three countries.
The Swedish mystery writer
Henning Mankell is likely the best
known of writers from these coun-
tries, his combined sales nearing the
hundred million mark, thanks in no
small measure to his Inspector Kurt
Wallander novels. To place him in
perspective, you could call him the
Scandinavian James Lee Burke.
Not far behind Mankell in thematic
reach and popularity is the Norwegian
writer, Karin Fossum. Like Mankell,
she has her own steadily evolving
inspector, Konrad Sejer. Her works
have been translated into at least 25
languages, with aggregate sales in
the tens of millions. She has been
called by many critics and fans The
Scandinavian queen of crime. From
time to time, Fossum has followed the
well-trod path of The British queen
of crime, Ruth Rendell (who is a fan
of Fossum), by writing a stand-alone,
using characters away from her series.
Fossums novel, Broken, takes its
title from a large, disturbing paint-
ing of a bridge, seemingly cut off at
its midpoint, offered for sale in an art
gallery in an affluent suburb of Oslo,
where Alvar Eide, a major presence
and point-of-view, works. The fact
that the paintings title gives the book
its title suggests metaphor and subtext
before you have even read the first
page. When he first sees the painting,
which is priced at almost to the penny
the sum of money he has in his sav-
ings account, Eide lusts to own it.
There is one other major presence
and point-of-view in the novel, an
unnamed woman of middle age, liv-
ing alone with her cat. The novel
opens with her, at night. Shes man-
aged with the help of medications and
wine to achieve an uneasy sleep, even
though there is a line of individuals
standing in the street outside the gate
to her home.
A creaking on the stair and the
womans awareness of someone in the
room with her hits the exact resonant
frequency to bring us into the story,
eager to have at it. What better open-
ing wedge than a woman alone, with
nothing but a languid cat to protect
her, being confronted in her own bed-
room at midnight?
What do you want? I whisper.
It takes a while before he answers,
but I hear how he shifts in the chair;
I hear the sound of his breathing and
his shoes scraping against the floor.
Finally he clears his throat, but no
words come. Not someone to take the
initiative, I remain immobile, but my
fear is so overwhelming that my entire
system is on the verge of collapse.
Terror rips through my body: my heart
contracts, then stops, then beats three
or four wild beats. Again a soft cough,
and finally he says in a modest voice, I
do apologize for intruding.
Thus we meet the two principals.
The intruder is Alvar, wishing to have
his story told. The I narrator is a
novelist. The individuals standing in
line, waiting, are characters all wishing
for their stories to be told. I chastises
Alvar. Youve jumped the line.
Alvar bows his heavy head in
shame, then nods. We see the narra-
tive stratagem, because it is one, but
it is already too late to back out. Nor
is it any comfort when we find Alvar,
a quirky loner, not at all likeable.
Theres always someone ahead of
me Im used to that. But I cant bear
it any longer. Im exhausted. You have
to tell my story now you have to
start this morning.
I informs Alvar she cannot guar-
antee a happy ending. They proceed,
with Alvar interrupting her now and
then, with emphasis when I intro-
duces a young woman heroin addict
who fastens onto Alvar, even seeming
to suborn the affections of his cat.
With one major complaint either
Fossum or her translator has too great
a fondness for adverbs ending in ly
Broken is a wild, scary, maddening
ride over an emotional bridge with no
apparent ending. MJ
A
n unexpected $1,000 dollars
appeared in our hands right
before my husbands winter
vacation. Our friends wouldve taken
that as sign to head off to Mammoth to
go skiing, but we decided to spend it
on a home fixit project.
We talked it over and decided to use
the money to replace all the 60-year old
faucets in our house. Off we went to the
plumbing store. By some miracle, we
were so much in agreement as to which
faucets we liked, a stranger mightve
thought we were young and in love.
Now we needed a great plumber.
My friend Linda had recently hired a
genius named Albert Trejo to solve
her gnarly problem with a stubborn
reverse osmosis system. I called him,
and he was available to install our fau-
cets that Wednesday.
Not only did he do a fine job, he
hummed on tune while he worked. A
cheerful plumber is a rare and beauti-
ful thing. When a pipe broke off in the
wall, Albert said, Son of a beehive,
but he soon solved every challenge,
and we had new faucets.
Ive been on the planet long enough
to know plumbing projects typically
cost twice as much as predicted. When
Albert turned in his bill it was reason-
able. We were only a few hundred over
budget.
Water whooshed out of the new fau-
cets in a lovely stream. We brushed our
teeth several times just for the excuse
to use these gorgeous fixtures. This
was much better than freezing with our
friends in the snow.
Then, when we walked the dogs
before bedtime, we noticed a river in
the gutter in front of our house. We
had a leak, and, apparently, it was not
a small one.
This was not going to be cheap, but I
knew Albert would come to our rescue.
I left a message, and he called first
thing the next morning with a jaunty,
Whats up?
When he arrived to assess the situa-
tion, his best guess on the massive leak
was when wed turned the water off to
install the faucets, itd put extra pres-
sure on rusty underground pipes, and
thatd caused one or more blowouts.
We wouldnt know the answer as to
which pipes until wed dug them out.
He offered a crew at a cost matching
the national budget or we could dig
ourselves.
We were already over budget, so
we opted for putting our own shov-
els to work. Albert would come back
Saturday to cap off any leaking pipes
wed found.
Meanwhile we were without running
water in the house. Carrying buckets is
not as much fun as they make it out to
be in Zen literature.
Those new faucets seemed to mock
us. Not only are plumbing jobs fraught
with potential problems, they have a
sense of irony.
On Saturday morning, Albert called.
My wifes working all day, and Ive got
kid duty till shes back. Nevertheless,
he showed up near sunset and capped
the leaking sprinkler lines my husband
and Id dug out. I figured wed solved
the problem.
When we turned the water on, the
soil in the middle of the yard began
burbling. The leak was still alive, and
now it was mad.
Our main water supply line appeared
to be leaking. Albert warned us replac-
ing it could be expensive. He showed
us where to continue digging. Call me
when you find the leak.
The soil near the new spout was
supersaturated, sticky clay. We dug like
maniacs until we uncovered another
leaking irrigation pipe tied into the
supply line, at the meter. Oh the things
they did back in the good old days.
It was already past sunset, and
Albert had worked long hours Monday
through Saturday. Nevertheless he
showed up in his church clothes on
Sunday to look at what wed dug up.
He couldnt cap off that third leak
until late the next day, because he
already had several emergency jobs
on his Monday schedule. My husband
and I were tired of carrying buckets,
but others were even worse off.
True to his word, our plumber
showed up Monday afternoon. The
leaky pipe was stubborn, but a giant
wrench and Alberts massive finesse
budged it. When the water was
restored, there was no leaking a real
woo-hoo moment.
Living without running water for 116
hours offered us new perspective on
the miracle of plumbing. As a result,
were so grateful for guys like Albert
who fix our plumbing catastrophes.
They are true heroes.
Let us sing their praises. MJ

It is anticipated Caltrans will
respond to comments on the Draft
Environmental Impact Report (DEIR)
and the Common Sense 101 presen-
tation by late Spring 2013, Overall
explained. Caltrans has indicated it
will have a final design to submit for
agency approvals by summer 2014.
The need for public input is essential
and the time is now to ensure that
Caltrans follows SBCAGs direction
and includes the plan in its EIR. He
went on to say, Everyones support is
necessary to prevent this catastrophic
impact on our community.
The Montecito Association is urging
the community to get informed about
the plan and get involved by lobby-
ing local elected officials. We cannot
expect government to be responsive if
we dont speak up, Overall said.

Vegetation Fire on
Butterfly Beach
Montecito Fire Protection District
responded to a reported vegetation
fire at the 1100 block of Channel Drive
at 11:36 am on Monday, January 21.
Upon arrival, Montecito Fire person-
nel, with the assistance of a Santa
Barbara County Sheriff Helicopter,
found a fire burning in dead and
decadent vegetation at the end of a
bike path. The fire originated on the
beach, and burned uphill on the bluff
to the where firefighting personnel
caught it.
Deputy McSkimming from the
Santa Barbara County Sheriffs
Department was dispatched to
assist MFPD. As the deputy walked
toward the fire, numerous witnesses
approached and told the deputy that
a man sitting 100 yards away from the
fire had started it.
The witnesses showed the deputy
through cell phone video and pho-
tos that the man had been standing
where the fire started, and as soon as
it started he began to walk away. In
the photos, he was wearing a red shirt,
but when the deputy approached the
subject he was lying in the sand, wear-
ing a black shirt. He asked the man if
he had anything to do with the fire,
which at that point had burned about
a quarter of an acre. The man said no,
and as he sat up the deputy noticed he
was lying on a red shirt. The man was
arrested based on witness statements
and video evidence, and because in
his possession he had two working
lighters.
The fire was knocked down at 12:15
pm burning less than a quarter acre.
The fire cause was determined to be a
warming fire started on the beach near
a homeless encampment.
Montecito Fire and the Sheriffs
Department were assisted by Santa
Barbara City Fire and Carpinteria/
Summerland Fire District. There were
four engines, one squad, helicopter,
and chief officers for a total of 20 per-
sonnel at the scene.

The Way It Was
by Hattie Beresford
Roland Sauter: Part 1
WAY IT WAS Page 344
Ms Beresford is a retired
English and American his-
tory teacher of 30 years in
the Santa Barbara School
District. She is author of
two Noticias, El Mirasol:
From Swan to Albatross
and Santa Barbara
Grocers, for the Santa
Barbara Historical Society.
T
oday, the name Roland
Frederick Sauter is virtually
unknown, but he was one of
Santa Barbaras premier architects,
designing homes and structures in the
Spanish tradition several years before
George Washington Smith built his
first Andalusian-influenced home in
Montecito.
Hailing from a humble Maryland
farm family, Sauter studied art, design
and drafting at the Maryland Institute,
from which he graduated in 1910. He
came to Santa Barbara in 1912 and
found work as foreman for the con-
struction of the Russell Ray/Windsor
Soule designed home for Clarence A.
Black, one of the founders of Detroits
Cadillac Motor Company. Set high
on a western-facing knoll of Mission
Ridge, the Mission Revival style home
named El Cerrito rose from sandstone
foundations and surrounded a central
cloister. A stone stairway led from the
courtyard to the roof where Black had
an office built for himself and an art
studio for his wife, the artist Mary
Corning Winslow Black.
Writing in 1921, history columnist
Michael Philips said that El Cerrito
was supervised from foundation
to last hammer stroke by Roland F.
Sauter. Though the house itself was
completed by 1914 and Sauter had set
up his own architectural firm, he con-
tinued to work for Clarence Black on
various projects. These included grad-
ing Mountain Drive, Tremonto Road
and Mission Ridge and supervising
the construction of massive retaining
walls to support the roads and to sur-
round the estate. Almost two miles of
walls, some four feet at their base and
30 feet high with buttressed supports,
were built.
Obviously an avid autoist, Clarence
Black joined George Owen Knapp and
other prominent local men in funding
improvements to San Marcos Road,
which was often closed to motorists.
In May 1915, Sauter could be found
in charge of six men and six horses as
they graded curves, smoothed road
beds and improved drainage.
Black was also an avid supporter
of the Mission and donated many
improvements. In June 1915, he com-
missioned Sauter to design and super-
vise the construction of a wall to sup-
port the newly-leveled grade of the
parking lot in front of the Mission, the
reparation of the old reservoir and the
rebuilding of an old stone wall. Sauter
also designed a wait station for the
Santa Barbara tramline on the corner
of Laguna and Los Olivos. Utilizing
native sandstone, the station seated 30
people under its red tiled roof, which
was supported by six concrete colon-
naded arches. (This wait station was
demolished in the late 1960s/early
1970s.)
In 1916, Sauter designed and built
a mountain lodge for Clarence Black
near San Marcos Pass. According to
the Daily News, this lodge included an
art studio and was used as a week-
end resting place, and a place to enter-
tain the friends of the family.
By then, Sauter had an office in
the San Marcos Building on State
Street but was living at the YMCA on
the corner of Carrillo and Chapala.
(Today, the parking lot of Ralphs
Grocery Store.) He also designed the
new Detention Home at 1015 Garden
Street about this time and received
the commission to design the new
First Presbyterian Church across from
the downtown library on Anapamu
Street. The Morning Press of June 1916
reported that his design, in the Spanish
Renaissance tradition, was fine and
appropriate to this city. Sauter incor-
porated an arcaded cloister, balconies,
a rose window, and a rotunda. The
church ornamentation was simpli-
fied after the 1925 earthquake, but it
stood thereafter unshaken until the
City decided they wanted the site for
a parking lot in the 1960s.
Graholm
In 1916, another Detroiter came to
town and purchased a parcel of land
on Constance Avenue within view
of the Mission and Clarence Blacks
estate. David Gray had also helped
Motor City earn its nickname by creat-
ing Gray Motor Company and repre-
senting the familys investment in the
Ford Motor Company by serving on
its board. Black himself had been an
investor with Ford, but they had part-
ed ways early on. Undoubtedly, Black
introduced Sauter to Gray, who hired
the young architect and expressed a
desire for a Mission-inspired mansion.
In 1919 Sauter, after securing a
change in homesite, set to work. He
had found an ideal parcel of 29 acres
on Pepper Hill in Montecito with
sweeping views of city, sea and moun-
tain. Careful not to disturb existing
rocks or trees, Sauter saw his design
take form over the next 18 months as
masons built foundations of stone laid
in naturalistic patterns.
An intriguing labyrinth of a house,
Graholm clearly granted Sauter full
expression of his artistic genius.
Rounded copper gutters running
through the carved eaves, end cut
wooden flooring, hand-hewn beams
and recessed detailing in the plaster
above windows set into massive walls
reveal his artistry. Sauters designs for
the wrought iron grills, sconces, win-
dows and gates took workmen nearly
7 years to complete. He also designed
twin service quarters separated by
a five-bay garage to the north of the
entrance gates.
His experience at El Cerrito came
into play as he graded a long twisted

Renaissance style. For over fifty years it stood across from the Main Library on Anapamu Street until the
city desired the site for a parking lot. (Courtesy of Santa Barbara Historical Museum)

days earlier in front of a tony throng
of guests, including Seymour and
Shirley Lehrer, Mashey Bernstein,
Mary Collier, Edith Clark, Haliba

Plackis-Cheng.
Saturdays concert, under the able
baton of Nir Kabaretti, launched with
Japanese composer Toru Takemitsus
How Slow the Wind, based on a
short 1883 verse by Emily Dickinson,
with principal guests Dicterow who
is retiring from the NY Phil after 34
years next season and Phelps show-
ing their ample skills with Mozarts
Sinfonia Concertante.
The concert concluded with Felix
Mendelssohns Scottish Symphony
No. 3 in A minor, which got royal rec-
ognition when Queen Victoria granted
the German composer permission to
dedicate the work to her. It was the
last symphony he composed and a
wonderful climax to the show.
CALM at Heart
Art therapy treating child trauma
was at the center for CALM at Heart,
a lunch for 300 guests at the Coral
Casino.
The 43-year-old charity, which deals
with child abuse and neglect in and
around our tony town, asked artists
in the community to submit works
reflecting on healing, which were
exhibited at the Sullivan Goss Gallery
before the event and, in due course,
the 20 works oils, watercolors and
sculptures will be auctioned off to
help the non-profit.
In that vein, invitees found a pal-
ette of brightly colored paints at their
tables, as well as small canvases on
which to exercise their creative talents,
as staffers from The Painted Cabernet,
a downtown store, gave advice to the
would-be Picassos and Dalis, while
CALMs art therapist, Christine Scott,
explained how works by youngsters
enabled them to reconcile their emo-
tional conflicts and increase self esteem.
District attorney Joyce Dudley
conducted an auction, while Cecilia
Rodriguez, executive director, wel-
comed guests, including Victoria
Hines, Janet Garufis, Rosa Alvarado,
Nancy Bollay, Deborah Gibbons,
Jennifer Guess, Samantha Jessup,
Stephanie Sokolove, Marcia Wolfe
and Gretchen Lieff...
St. Cecilia Society Tea
The St. Cecilia Society, the old-
est non-profit in Santa Barbara, had
a record turnout at its annual tea,
chaired by Sigrid Toye and Charlene
Nagel, in the parish hall at All Saints
by-the-Sea.
The charity, founded in 1891, helps
people in need defray their hospital
or other unmet medical bills, includ-
ing diagnostic testing and dental care,
which is not covered by Medicare.
Dental cases have particular-
ly increased in number, says Tish
Gainey, president, given many seniors
lack coverage.
The society, which is named after
the patron saint of music, paid out
$130,000 in 105 cases last year, an
increase from 2011.
Among the attendees noshing on
the cucumber sandwiches and swig-

The show, curated by board mem-
ber, Nancy Gifford, features duos
Virginia McCracken and Philip

Harry Reese, Penny Mast McCall and

and Nathan Hayden.
Its the second exhibition organized

The show runs through February 23.
Gifts For Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth is surely the
woman who has everything.
So what to give Her Majesty to mark
a monumental anniversary commem-
orating 60 years on the British throne?
There was quite a variety, if a recent
list just published is anything to go,
varying from priceless jewelry to a
dog bed for her corgis in the shape of
a crown.
There was also a 1950s Tiffany com-
pact from President Barack Obama and
his wife, Michelle, a baby llama, which
is now residing in a British zoo, a wick-
erwork throne and a model of the state
coach made from an ostrich egg.
Giving and receiving gifts is con-
sidered to be an important part of the
Royal Familys work in developing
good relations with other countries.
In all, according to Buckingham
Palace, members of the public gave
the Queen 436 books, 235 CDs and
DVDs, 81 pieces of embroidery and
knitting, 78 self-portraits, 40 digital
photograph books, 28 wall hangings,
19 tea towels and nine jigsaws...

Arts Fund Presents
Double Trouble
A
rtist Nathan Hayden, with
partner Hannah Rose
Vainstein, raised the bar in
our local art world by creating a stun-
ning 16 x 9 foot India Ink drawing and
mirrored piece created in only four
days for the Santa Barbara Arts Fund
(SBAF) Double Trouble Redux Exhibit.
This is a reincarnation of other piec-
es, a wall drawing of this radiating
pattern with Hannahs mirror design
in the center, Nathan explained.
Hannah added, Because the mirror
has reference to the body, and its
placed specifically at my height, it
affords anyone who would like to
gaze into the mirror to see themselves
and the whole piece from my point of
view. Indeed, the mirror was enjoyed
by the guests, who experimented with
self-portrait photographs and flood-
ed their iPhones and Facebook pages
with them during the opening, held
on Friday, January 18.
The atmosphere was upbeat and
positive for the artists, their works
and the gallery. The artists mediums
ranged from abstract paintings to pho-
tography, mixed media assemblage,
fiber arts and book arts. This years
artists are: Virginia McCracken and
Philip Koplin, Sandra Liddell Reese
and Harry Reese, Penny Mast McCall
and Wayne McCall, and Hannah
Rose Vainstein and Nathan Hayden.
The exhibit, guest curated and
installed by the ubiquitous artist
and SBAF Board Member Nancy
Gifford, reigned in a standing room-
only crowd that stayed long after
the customary hours. Guests includ-
ed Santa Barbara Museum of Art
Director Larry J. Feinberg and his
wife, Starr Siegele; artist and for-
mer Atkinson Gallery Director Dane

The Double Trouble Redux Exhibit,
in its second year, was conceived
by Gifford in 2012, I came up with

Viewpoints and now have asked
the artists to run with it, inviting

Reading and Workshop
to Feature Oregon Poet
by Scott Craig
P
aulann Petersen, the sixth and
current poet laureate of Oregon,
will read selections of her work
Thursday, January 24, at 7 pm in
Adams Center, room 216. The poetry
reading is free and open to the public.
For more information, please call Paul
Willis at (805) 565-7174 or willis@
westmont.edu.
Mandi De Vos 13, editor of the
Phoenix, Westmonts student literary
magazine, will read her poetry to
begin the event.
Petersen, a resident of Portland,
has written several books of poetry,
including The Wild Awake, Kindle and
The Voluptuary. Her most recent pub-
lication, Shimmer and Drone, is a chap-
book of poems about India.
Honoring Poet Stafford
A sign dedication and poetry read-
ing hosted by Willis will honor the
life and work of William Stafford on
Saturday, January 26, at 2 pm at the
First Crossing Day Use Area in Los
Padres National Forest, across from the
Los Prietos Boys Camp, 3900 Paradise
Road. In case of rain, Remembering
William Stafford: A Seventh Annual
Community Gathering will be held
at the Los Prietos Ranger Station, 3505
Paradise Road.
During World War II, Stafford
(1914-93) spent two years serving
as a conscientious objector at the
Los Prietos Civilian Public Service
Camp. Stafford won the National
Book Award in 1963 and became
poetry consultant to the Library of
Congress in 1970 and poet laureate of
Oregon in 1975.
This year we will be dedicating
a permanent outdoor display about
William Stafford and the history of
the camp and the role it played
in the formation of Stafford as a
poet, Willis says. The display, co-
sponsored by Westmont College and
the Friends of William Stafford, was
erected this fall.
Petersen and Mark Sargent, pro-
vost of Westmont, will read selected
Stafford works. Others in attendance
will be encouraged to read a favorite
Stafford poem as well.
Before the gathering, Peterson will
lead a free, public poetry workshop,
Writing the Stafford Way, from 9
am to 12:30 pm at the ranger sta-
tion. Poets and would-be poets of all
levels of experience are welcome to
reserve a spot by contacting Willis at
(805) 565-7174 or willis@westmont.
edu.
Those attending the reading or the
workshop will not need to buy or
display a Forest Service Adventure
Pass.
Students Offer Funny
Musical of Musicals
The Westmont Music and Theatre
Arts Departments have collaborated
to create a hilarious, student-produced
show, Musical of Musicals (the Musical!)
January 24 to 26, 8 pm and January
27, 2 pm, in Porter Theatre. Tickets to
the performance, which benefits the
choirs international tour and the the-
aters Fringe Festival, cost $10, $7 for
students and seniors. For more infor-
mation, or to purchase tickets, please
visit www.westmont.edu/musicalof
musicals or call 805-565-7140. Only
cash or check will be accepted at the
door.
Musical of Musicals, written by
Joanne Bogart and Eric Rockwell,
premiered off-Broadway in 2003.
Director Ben Offringa 14 says the
humorous play is similar to the clev-
er spoofs that have made Spring
Sing a lasting Westmont tradition.
Its a culminating parody of every
major musical produced in the last
sixty years, he says. I really hope
audiences walk away with a smile
on their face, a jig in their step and a
hummable melody or two. MJ

driveway lined with stonework. His
efforts did not go unnoticed. In June
1921, the Daily News reported a visitor
who said, This house looks as though
it has grown right of the hill! Sauter
was pleased, for that was the effect
he had intended. The road, too, was
much admired. Wrote the reporter,
Sauter swung it to the east, brought
it up with a sort of double airplane
swoop, twisted it around a huge rock
at the front, and brought it to rest tri-
umphantly between two other huge
boulders in the rear.
Later, David Gray hired Sauter to
design and build a mountain lodge
(Deer Lodge) just over the San Marcos
Pass. It was, of course, built of stone.
During this time, Sauter took out
a building permit for his own home
on Mission Ridge. In 1922 he married
Norma D. Martin and the two moved
into the Mission/Pueblo influenced
home which rose from naturally laid
stone foundations and was floored
with end-cut wooden tiles. His home
also became his office.
Success
Rolands reputation soared and
around 1922, he made E. Keith
Lockard, local boy and graduate of
Berkeleys architectural school, a part-
ner. Lockard had worked as a drafts-
man (1916, 1919) and later architect for
Sauter, so it was natural that the firm
became known as Sauter & Lockard.
In 1922 the firm won the bid for
the design of Santa Barbaras new
City Hall. The original Victorian-era
City Hall, which stood in the middle
of De la Guerra Plaza, had received
a Mission-Revival face lift in 1909,
the same year that Santa Barbara
hired nationally-renowned planner
Charles Mulford Robinson to consult.
De la Guerra Plaza was one of four
areas he recommended for commu-
nity improvement. Ten years later the
Community Arts Associations Plans
and Planting Committee began pro-
moting a uniform community archi-
tecture celebrating Santa Barbaras
Hispanic heritage.
One of the Plans and Planting
Committees first tasks was to devel-
op the design for new City Hall and
the much needed improvement of
De la Guerra Plaza which included
clearing the paltry City Hall out
of the center of the plaza. Sauter &
Lockards design won their approval.
The three-story building replaced
the old Raffeur Hotel, which was
moved down the street, and an old
ships cabin from the wreck of a
Spanish ship, which over the years
had been used as a store and a shoe
repair shop.
The design included many details
of wood, marble, wrought iron and
plaster work but estimates put the
project over budget so the ornamen-
tation was reserved for the middle
floor (ground floor from Plaza) and
the exterior detailing of the building.
The police department and jails were
housed downstairs and cloistered
arches covered the 10-foot sidewalk
on De la Guerra Street. Upstairs, a
loggia still overlooks the Plaza and the
adobe-era pepper tree, which is a City
Landmark.
In 1922, the firm also won the bid for
the new high school. Their Spanish-
Colonial design for the symmetrical,
two-story edifice incorporated chur-
rigueresque surrounds on the main
entrances. Arched windows, portals
and arcades softened long sections
of rectangular windows, and touches
of iron grillwork accented the reviv-
al style. The elongated H-shape was
bisected by the auditorium, lobby, and
entrance patio. The high school cam-
pus was completed in 1924, and the
Class of 24 was the first to graduate
from the new school though they had
attended no classes there. MJ

Theater Leagues production of Dreamgirls will take the stage at the Granada on January 29 and 30
Theater League
Presents Dreamgirls
On Theatre
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.
B
roadway musicals have their
rabid fans, those who check
out every production they can,
maybe wait by the stage door to talk
with the actors.
For Charity Dawson, that show was
Dreamgirls, the 1981 musical later
turned into a hit 2006 movie about a
fictional fledgling girl group (inspired
by Diana Ross and The Supremes) and
the aspirations, triumphs, personal tri-
als and business and personal squab-
bles among the members and manag-
ers on the way to the top of the charts.
Dawson who hails from Detroit,
the home of Motown, the Supremes
record label saw the show 15 times
by the time she reached her early 20s,
and lost track of the number of times
shes watched the film version.
Its just so different from anything
else Ive seen, Dawson said over the
telephone last week, explaining her
obsession with Dreamgirls. The story,
the way its written and the way its
told, it unique. The peek backstage
along with the onstage performances
happening at the same time its so
amazing.
As a Dreamgirls devotee, Dawson
has been singing And Im Telling You
Im Not Going, the show-stopping
song delivered by the lead character
Effie, at karaoke nights, talent shows
and in the shower not to mention
classrooms and stages at the American
Musical and Dramatic Academy in
New York.
But unlike other fans, Dawson has
seen her own dreams and aspirations
come true: the singer-turned-profes-
sional actress now gets the chance
to belt the song out on stages across
America every night herself shes
starring as Effie in the new official
Broadway touring production of
Dreamgirls, which is headed to the
Granada Theatre on Tuesday and
Wednesday, January 29 and 30.
The first time she performed And
Im Telling You Im Not Going the
night the tour opened was magical,
Dawson said. It was awesome! I cant
even describe it. Ive been singing it
for ten years for myself, but in the
context of the show, wow. Youre just
so vulnerable and out there. So it was
an amazing experience.
Without the budget of a stable
show on Broadway or the tricks of
Hollywood, the touring production
uses an ingenious video system to aid
in the storytelling, two banks of ever-
changing monitors flanking the set
designed by Broadway Spiderman vet-
eran Howard Werner. But its still the
singers that thrust the plot forward
and keep the audience on the edge of
their seats and humming.
The character of Effie who is based
somewhat on Florence Ballard, the
original leader of the Supremes who
was shelved in favor of the slimmer,
more vivacious Diana Ross won
a Tony for Jennifer Holiday and an
Oscar for Jennifer Hudson. Pretty big
shoes to fill for a young singer/actress
whose most notable previous profes-
sional part was as one of the church
ladies in a tour of The Color Purple.
But Dawson said stepping into the
role hasnt been too daunting.
I feel like maybe I dont get how
big it is, which is probably a good
thing. I just look at it as an opportu-
nity to tell a great story. These great
women did so, and now its my turn,
and I appreciate every second of it.
Most importantly, she said, is mak-
ing sure not to make her performance
an imitation of her predecessors.
I try not to emulate anybody. Of
course I watched the movie a billion
times before, but I didnt go back to it
once I got the role. I really wanted to
create my own take.
Whats helped is realizing that Effie,
while the star, is part of an ensemble
telling a backstage story that needs to
be relatable to everyone.
The story transcends time,
Dawson said. Its not just about per-
forming on stage, but about friend-
ships, relationships, empowerment
and forgiveness. Those are themes
that go beyond a time period, and
outside of the theater.
More difficult was nailing the dra-
matic shifts Effie undergoes in the arc
of the story.
Its important to start like a bull-
dog in the beginning, but they said I
was too nice at first. So I had to find
my inner bulldog to find out why she
would respond the way she did to
make moments like I Am Changing
really land, earn that moment of
becoming a different person And
its not just Effies thing, but Charitys
too. I understand that desire to be dif-
ferent, to grow and evolve, and need-
ing a helping hand in that process. I
totally relate.

SBIFF Rolls Back Into Town
SBIFF 2013 by Steven Libowitz
T
he 28th annual Santa Barbara
International Film Festival
opens on Thursday, launching
11 days of screenings, parties, Q&A
sessions, lines at the Metro 4, and vis-
its from Hollywood heroes including
nearly a dozen actors receiving trib-
utes or awards, several of whom are
Oscar nominees, plus a bunch more
Academy Award hopefuls among the
filmmaker panelists.
The best way to arm yourself for
the onslaught is to visit the festivals
website, www.sbiff.org, for schedules,
updates, film descriptions, tickets and
much more. But were also dedicat-
ing this space to introducing you to
a few of the more noteworthy actors
and filmmakers headed our way this
week, plus a whole section on the vil-
lage vanguard Montecito residents
cutting a large swatch at SBIFF.
Enjoy. And well see you in the dark.
Beasts Mighty Pint-Sized Hero
Unless you made it to SBIFF
Cinema Societys private screening
of Beasts of the Southern Wild last fall,
you havent yet seen then six-year-
old Quvenzhan Wallis astonishing
turn as Hushpuppy, a young girl in
a Louisiana backlands bayou strug-
gling with a missing mom, her dads
temper, impending disaster from a
huge storm, and other issues. Thats
because the film, which won acclaim
at Sundance 2012 and then played
short qualifying runs in New York
and Los Angeles before the end of
the year to qualify for the Oscars (its
nominated for Best Picture, directing,
screenplay as well as Wallis for acting)
wont open in regular theaters until
March.
But the precocious Nazie, as friends
call her, who is now nine, not only
set the new record for youngest Best
Actress nominee, but also captured
hearts and minds and offered a few
life lessons along the way.
And shes not done: Just late last
year she finished shooting Twelve Years
a Slave opposite Brad Pitt. Wallis will
receive SBIFFs Virtuosos Award at
the Lobero Theatre on Tuesday along
with Ann Dowd (Compliance), Elle
Fanning (Ginger & Rosa), Ezra Miller
(The Perks of Being A Wallflower), Eddie
Redmayne (Les Miserables) and Omar
Sy (The Intouchables). She answered
a few questions over the phone from
her Louisiana home, with a little help
from her moms prompting.
Q. Why did you want to be Hushpuppy?
A. Because she sounded like a fun
person to play.
Did you always want to be an actress?
Um It really wasnt something I
thought about. I didnt worry about it.
Or even care about it much.
Its been almost three years since you
made the movie. Would you do the role
differently now?
Not really. I would just go with
whatever they tell me to go with.
Whats it like to watch the movie now,
and see yourself on the screen?
Its kind of funny, but I like it. I see
a big me with a little voice, and then
I see myself as a little me with a big
voice.
Just how similar is Quvenzhan to
Hushpuppy? Are you that strong in real
life?
Of course I am.
What was your favorite experience on
the film?
The seafood. I just loved eating the
seafood.
How was that crab? It looked delicious.
Was it really that good?
Oh yeah! It was de-li-cious (sing-
ing)!
What was the most challenging part?
The mud and the mosquitoes.
How about working with the animals in
the film? That can be hard for adults. How
was it for you?
It really wasnt that hard, because
I have animals at home. A Yorkiepoo
and a German Shepherd.
But thats a little different from a pig.
Wasnt that scary?
No, but it was very hairy and black!
Id never seen a black pig before.
Was it tough to be around all that
screaming and violence from your dad,
doing all the emotional scenes? Did it feel
real?
Yeah, those were kind of hard
because I had to think of something
sad, and dont like to do it. But [the
fighting] was fun. I liked throwing
things.
What do your friends think of what you
do?
Theyre excited for me, and happy.
But they really dont make a big deal
about it. They asked me a few ques-
tions and I answered them. And then
they just say Congratulations and
How has it been? And then thats
it. Its fun.
Did you learn anything from making
the movie? Did it change you?
I learned that Im a good person.
And I listen to things, even when I
dont want to. I learned a lot of new
things.
What do you think people should take
away from watching the movie?
Always take care of your loved ones
and families; theyre your people. And
because maybe youll get sick too and
theyll help you. So why not help
them?
Bold and Disturbing
Ann Dowd reaches a new plateau
in her starring performance as Sandra
in Compliance, the shocking and hard-
to-watch feature about the manager
of a fast-food chain who is convinced
to interrogate and abuse an innocent
employee by a sadistic but savvy
prank caller posing as a police officer.
Whats even more disturbing is that
the movie is based on a true story,
compiled from documented cases of
a man who pulled the trick across
several states over a period of years,
echoing in real life a phone version of
the old Stanley Milgrim experiments
in people willing to administer electric
shocks to total strangers under orders
from an authority figure.
Dowds subtle, nuanced perfor-
mance walks a fine line, managing
to keep her character likeable, or at
least relatable, even as she allows ever
more horrifying abuse to take place.
I understood exactly where she
was coming from, Dowd said over
the phone. As bizarre as it sounds, I
didnt doubt what happened at all I
never judged her. I felt for her. I didnt
have to ask, What was she thinking?
The first feeling I had when I read the
script was connection.
Dowd said that the shame that per-
vades Sandras core is a feeling she
knows quite well having been taught
as a child to defer to church doctrine
whether it made sense or not.
I was lucky: Im of the constitution
that didnt blindly buy what I was
told. I got into trouble, but I didnt
give in. But you can tell that Sandra
did and it creates the perfect storm for
disaster. The creepy persuasiveness
Nine-year-old Quvenzhan Wallis is the youngest
nominee for best actress in Oscar history; she is
nominated for her role in Beasts of the Southern
Wild
24 31 January 2013 MONTECITO JOURNAL 37 Death is a distant rumor to the young Andy Rooney
EnTERTAInMEnT Page 394
of the caller, a manipulative genius
who had the ability to target where
people are vulnerable, was so clear
and irresistible for her. [She did] what
happens when people abandon their
own sense of what is right and wrong.
Sandra lost her compass years ago if
she ever had one.
Dowds belief in herself and her
work in the film extended to the
unusual step of footing the bill for
sending out screeners of Compliance
for awards consideration herself when
the small movie company wouldnt
pony up. After putting the tab on
her credit cards and borrowing the
rest from friends, she fell short of an
Oscar nomination, but did receive
the best supporting actress award
from the influential National Board
of Review, and is one of the recipients
of the Virtuosos Award at SBIFF, pre-
sented on Tuesday, January 29 at the
Arlington.
It was the least angst-ridden deci-
sion Ive ever made, she explained.
It wasnt a toot-your-own-horn thing
at all But I kept seeing Oscar wor-
thy written about me in the reviews
of the film, and that doesnt happen
to actors like me. So there was no
question of What will people think?
I dont care.
Of course I was disappointed. But
thats the terrain of an actor. My feel-
ing is overall that Im wildly grateful
what did happen, and I know it will
help get the film out there where
people can see it.
Panelmonium
For some folks, the four weekend
seminars featuring the years most-
honored filmmakers are the raison
dtre for the festival. Indeed, the
writers and directors panels, both
of which take place this coming
Saturday, boast a large percentage of
the Oscar nominees in each category,
although the final lineup was still
being confirmed at press time. One
who is sure to participate is David
O. Russell, who is up for Academy
Awards for both his writing and
directing of Silver Linings Playbook.
He talked about the film in an inter-
view at the Kirk Douglas Award in
Santa Barbara last month.
Q. Why did you want to turn this book
into a movie? Why was this story such a
draw for you?
A. When Sydney Pollack gave me
the book five years ago, I was very
happy because Id finally found a
story I could tell that would show
my son Matt who is bipolar and has
faced many of these challenges that
he could be part of the world. That
hed be okay. (He plays the kid who
rings the doorbell.) Its a wonderful
story about a family and a love affair,
but also about overcoming this specif-
ic adversity with a positive spin. There
have been dark films about mood dis-
order, but whats special about this
one is that its brave enough to face
some of the darkness and pull out
the silver lining. Why is it we can talk
about heart disease and cancer with
all kinds of empathy, but not this ter-
rible problem of mental illness? [In the
movie], its an obstacle for the char-
acter to overcome, but Ive had many
people come forward, movie stars,
studio execs, who have parents or
siblings who have suffered from these
challenges and theyre very grateful.
How much did interacting with Bradley
Cooper influence the script?
The screenplay took five years to
re-write, and the timing was great,
because Bradley has been a long time
in coming to show the dimensions he
has as an actor. Its exciting to be a part
of it. We mostly stuck to what was on
the page, but he is a very astute and
emotional actor. He was very gener-
ous about every role in the movie,
always looking for what could be bet-
ter about every character. He left it all
on the floor. There wasnt anything he
wasnt willing to do. And it was excit-
ing to see Jennifer Lawrence become
a woman before our very eyes in her
first grownup role. When somebody
has the resources inside themselves as
an actor, I welcome the opportunity to
surprise people. Its very exciting as a
filmmaker to be a part of that process
where actors spreads their wings and
show emotional dimension. It was a
very charged set, in the best way.
Youre saying they had chemistry?
They had combustible chemistry.
Thats the whole movie. I wanted the
moment they first saw each other to
be one of those classic moments in cin-
ema. That day on the set we all felt it.
Can you also talk about that wonder-
ful scene with Jennifer Lawrence blow-
ing right by Bradley Cooper to confront
Robert De Niro in his own home?
They were like three freight trains
at the same time. They all collided.
Thats what you want as a filmmaker.
It was wonderful to see them go toe-
to-toe (with De Niro). She started
the movie asking Robert and Bradley
what it was like having people always
wanting to take your picture and by
the end of it (after Hunger Games), she
was the one who could talk about it
firsthand.
The movie also has this sense that you
captured a moment in time, something
that was special.
Yeah, it felt like that for us too. We
didnt want to leave the house in
Philly because we felt like wed been
actually living in it for two months.
Did you accomplish that goal of reach-
ing your son?
Its great that audiences can feel the
emotion of the picture, but I made it
for him. Frankly, he wasnt enjoying
life. Its everything to me to help turn
it around.
Montecito At The Movies
Nature filmmaker Mike deGruys
death early last February in a heli-
copter accident while filming off
Australia was an unspeakable trag-
edy that brought shock and sadness
to family and friends, and also dev-
astated the tail end of the 2012 SBIFF,
for which deGruy served as the cre-
ator and curator of the Reel Nature
sidebar. But deGruy himself, if he
were here, would tell anyone that the
last 34 years of his life were already
a gift, given that he had survived a
vicious shark attack while working
as a researcher in the waters off the
Marshall Islands in 1978.
Bleeding heavily from the bite by
a Grey Reef shark, deGruy somehow
managed to elude further damage
and made it back to the boat, which
was hundreds of yards away. Luckily
for the nature film world, Mike sur-
vived, for later that year, the inventor
of the Nautilus exercise equipment
caught deGruys tank of the cephalo-
pods of the same name in the Waikiki
Aquarium, and sent Mike and his
Ann Dowd will be presented with a Virtuosos

crew to collect a few nautilus for him
to replicate the tank elsewhere along
with a camera. Thrilled by the expe-
rience and opportunity to educate
via film rather than in a classroom,
deGruy quit grad school and entered
the world of nature filmmaking
Over the course of his career, deGruy
would create more than 40 films,
including features and shorts, shoot-
ing for such prestigious networks as
National Geographic, PBS, BBC and
Discovery.
Mike was definitely one of the leg-
ends, one of the very best underwa-
ter natural history filmmakers, said
Michael Hanrahan, deGruys long-
time friend and colleague. He was a
huge person in my life, unbelievably
influential and a great friend. And he
was at the top of the game. Losing him
means one of the figureheads of the
genre is gone.
Before deGruy left for that fateful
trip to Australia (where he was doing
some pre-production for a planned
five-year gig with James Cameron),
he had asked Hanrahan to introduce
the films hed already selected for
last years SBIFF while he was away.
Now Hanrahan is heading this years
Reel Nature sidebar, for which half
the films constitute a Mike deGruy
retrospective that also extends to this
years festival poster and a series of
60- and 90-second clips that will be
shown before other movies through-
out the festival.
Along with deGruys widow and
producer, Mimi, Hanrahan picked the
features to show, which range from
1987s Hawaii: Islands of the Fire Goddess,
the cephalopod-centric Incredible
Suckers (1999) and The Octopus Show
(2000), the locally-oriented Tempest
from the Deep (1999) that chronicled
the results of an El Nino year off
the Channel Islands, and Perfect Shark
(2006).
Those were among the eight films
that were in his briefcase when I got
his things back [after his death],
Mimi said, He was carrying them
around with him to show people or to
give away. So it was my feeling that
those were the films he felt best repre-
sented his work.
Mimi approved Hanrahans tak-
ing over Reel Nature, noting, He
worked very closely with Mike and
really understood his thinking, but
also loves film and has his own ideas.
Since this is about moving forward
while respecting Mikes tradition, hes
the perfect choice.
It was Hanrahan, along with festi-
val executive director Roger Durling,
who came up with the idea to also
create 60- and 90-second clips of
deGruys astonishing shoots includ-
ing rare footage from under the ice in
Antarctica and another of orcas seiz-
ing seals from a beach in Patagonia
in order to bring the filmmakers
work to a larger audience that may
not normally drop in on Reel Nature
screenings.
Mike encouraged Roger to take on
the responsibility of running the fes-
tival when the opportunity came up
ten years ago, Hanrahan explained.
Roger said hed do it, but only if
Mike would start the sidebar. So this
part of the tribute is a way to remem-
ber him throughout the festival, with
the clips screening before a quarter or
a third of the movies.
And what would deGruy think of
all this attention?
He would be extremely humbled,
Hanrahan said. As much time as he
spent in front of the camera, he tended
to defer praise and attention away
from himself. But at the same time, he
would be very appreciative of every-
ones efforts to bring these films to
the public, and make this year really
special.
I think he would be honored, but
also a bit embarrassed, agreed Mimi.
He loved this community, and the
festival, very much. And Roger was
one of his dearest friends. So hed be
touched to be remembered this way.
But while he talked a lot everybody
knows that it was always about the
work, not his own accomplishments.
Montecito resident Jeff Barbakow

is presumably proud of his three-year
tenure as president of SBIFF, as he
steered the festival through a rocky
economic period from 2009-2011 and
managed to see it not only survive but
thrive right after the financial melt-
down of 2008. But its likely he (and
wife, Margo) are even prouder of this
years fest, even though Jeffs own
role is a lot smaller: Both of their boys
have films screening at SBIFF 2013,
including younger son Maxs opus on
his own adoption, called Mommy, Im
a Bastard!
Max, just 23, directed and co-pro-
duced the 65-minute documentary
that tells the story of his adoption,
covering the three families who are
forever connected by his existence.
Wendy Reynolds was just 17 when she
gave up Max to the Barbakows, whose
then seven-year-old son Bennett was
begging his parents for a baby brother
at the same time. Meanwhile, NBC4-
Washington anchorwoman Barbara
Harrison, a journalist focusing on sto-
ries about adoption, learns that her
son was the father of Wendys baby.
Through home videos, current inter-
views, photographs, TV footage and
material shot on an exploratory road
trip, Max urges all three families to
elaborate more explicitly on a story, as
he puts it, that he cant remember not
knowing.
Id grown up knowing the story of
my adoption, but its different to get a
camera and have everyone go on the
record, said Max, who moved with
his parents and brother Bennett to
Montecito at age two, attended Crane
through 8th grade and then Thacher
School in Ojai before earning his col-
lege degree at Yale. Im looking at
it from each familys angle. There are
different truths from different per-
spectives. The families are so differ-
ent. But we focus on what we share
through being open to each other and
our capacity to love one another.
It was an unusual adoption to say
the least, Barbakow said. My birth
mother and my mom exchanged
wooden hearts when they did the
hand-off. Theres been an email cor-
respondence ever since. Wendy has
been like a cool big sister. I could talk
to her about things I didnt want to
discuss with my mom.
And its also an unusual movie in
that there isnt a big conflict that needs
to be resolved.
Im not really in search of any-
thing, Max said. Its about growing
up and making my own decisions
about what to think of all this, and
take a look at why things are the way
they are. Initially I just wanted to
share it, celebrate the families and the
cool people in my life. Its open ended.
But it was still cathartic for me at the
end of the day.
Max said that his whole Barbakow
family, plus birth mom Wendy, will
be at the initial screening at 7:20 pm
on Monday at the Metro 4; they are
expected to also attend the follow-up
at 10:20 am on February 3.
I hope people laugh and cry and
walk out thinking about family and
the people in their lives who matter,
he said.
Meanwhile, older brother Bennett,
31, whose production company most-
ly works in commercial TV and digital
series, is premiering his latest short
film, a 14-minute surrealistic comedy
called Byrons Theme. The film stars
his partner and friend, actor/co-writer
Michael Grant Terry, as an obsessive-
compulsive 20-something who faces
his demons while stranded in the
Mike deGruys memory will be honored through-
out this years SBIFF; he is seen here shooting his
1987 film, Hawaii: Islands of the Fire Goddess
Max Barbakow

story of his
adoption in

has shanghaied him from an institution for
a life-changing cross-country odyssey is
gabbing away at a phone booth while his
obsessively-watched The Peoples Court
is about to begin and a TV is nowhere

Richard Kuhlman promises a creative
night in the theater with a play that opens
the New Year at Ojai ACT tonight. But
how could it be anything less when the
work in question is Thornton Wilders The
Skin of Our Teeth, the three-part allegory
about the life of mankind that won the
Pulitzer Prize in 1942? And where better
a place to stage it than downtown Ojai,
just a couple of miles from the prestigious
private Thacher School, where Wilder was
educated and began writing plays? Not
as well known or frequently produced as
Wilders other Pulitzer-winner, the similarly
stylistically complex Our Town, Teeth
nevertheless has maintained a solid critical
reputation with every generation since it
was written during in the early 1940s in
the midst of Hitlers ravaging of Europe
and as the nation was still recovering from
the Great Depression. The comic drama
follows the middle class Antrobus Family of
New Jersey over a period of thousands of
years as they face disasters such as war,
economic hardship and nasty weather,
yet always escaping by the skin of their
teeth. The three acts cover the Ice Age,
the Great Flood and the wind-up of the

Adams family Elements
Theatre Collective, which
debuted barely 18 months
ago, steps up its game with
its third full production, Or, a
Restoration Period farce with
a modern twist by playwright
Liz Duffy Adams. Or, (the
comma is intentional, meant
to represent the multipart
titles that were popular in the
era) posits that 17th-century
playwright Aphra Behn was
the precursor to the freewheeling feminism that would come to full bloom 300 years
later. The action takes place in 1660s London but stylistically vacillates between
Victorian England and its 1960s counterpart following one hectic evening in
the life of Behn, a poet, political spy, and soon to be the frst professional female
playwright. Attempting to fnish a play overnight to make a deadline for a London
theater company, Behn fnds herself interrupted by her sudden new love, the actress
Nell Gwynne; complicated royal love in the person of King Charles II, whose failure
to pay her for her spy work resulted in her incarceration in debtors prison as the
play opens; plus a dodgy ex-love, the double-agent William Scott, who might be
part of a plot to murder the king in the morning. Can Aphra resist Nells charms,
save Charles life, win William a pardon, and launch her career, all in one night?
The script is laced with four-letter words, sharp humor and literary license Its a
new golden age, babe, one woman declares to another between passionate kisses.
Peace, love and happiness Tune in and turn on as well as historical reference,
a combination that earned across-the-board raves from the New York media when it
played off-Broadway in 2009. Elements founding co-artistic director Emily Jewell
whose bevy of starring roles in recent local shows includes the title character in Out
of the Boxs Jen & John at Center Stage, and as a Bad Idea Bear in SBCCs Avenue
Q at the Garvin stars as Behn, with Michael Bernard and Stephanie Babz
Farnum taking on the multiple other male and female roles in the companys
production directed by Sara Rademacher, Elements other founding co-artistic

Viva Cirque Zva! Hot on the heels of another
scintillating performance from the Peking Acrobats at
the Granada Theatre, UCSBs Arts & Lectures brings the
venerable and equally astounding Cirque Zva to town for
a family show at Campbell Hall on campus. Combining
astonishing acrobatics, vibrant costumes, and spectacular
sets, the 20-person troupe presents an array of centuries-
old Chinese acrobatic arts that will surprise and dazzle
everything from juggling hats, balancing cups, spinning
plates and diving through hoops. The latest project from the
Golden Dragon Acrobats and its seasoned director Danny
Chang, Cirque Zva was created in 2011 for a 10-week
engagement at Asbury Park Boardwalks Paramount Theatre,
the frst-ever summer run held at the venue in its 80-year
history (which was somehow miraculously undamaged by
Hurricane Sandy late last year). The fast-paced, technically
innovated show is eye-catching, breathtaking and energizing for audiences of all ages,
blending award-winning acrobatics, traditional dance, gorgeous costumes and ancient
and contemporary music. Presented as part of UCSB Arts & Lectures Family Fun Series,
Cirque Zva also features balloons, food, face painting and family fun an hour before
the show. WHEN: 3pm WHERE: UCSBs Campbell Hall COST: $15 general, $10

EASING RECOVERY
FROM SURGERY
Recovering from surgery can be a long and arduous
journey. Painful incisions and infammation are
frequently present even after the most successful surgeries.
Using a feather light touch the body is speeded along
the road to recovery. Recently, scientists at the Pacif ic
Advanced Technology Laboratory were able to provide
proof positive that I emit and transfer energy. Using
sophisticated infrared research equipment scientists
were able to identify that the energy from my hands
was successfully transferred to my subjects, If you go to
my website you can view this... just click medicine and
science.
Tis healing energy may reduce infammation, heal

hematomas and reduce scar tissue. Please allow me to
assist you along the road to recovery

desert. The parable is told through
lots of jump cuts, perspective changes,
close ups, unusual angles and ever-
changing points of view meant to be
a bit obscuring and probably even
confusing.
Its out there, weird, meditative,
exploratory and definitely noncom-
mercial, Bennett said. The message
is that we all live a complicated life
and are critical of ourselves, so I was
thinking of the camera and the lens as
an extension of the characters person-
ality and a reflection of where he is in
the moment. Its all about the explo-
ration of challenging comfort zones
through the cinematography. Its like
our own version of film school, some-
thing to show as we try to develop
features.

More From Montecito
Montecito filmmaker Dorothy Darr
is premiering her third documentary
about her husband, jazz saxophonist
Charles Lloyd, with two screenings
at SBIFF 2013 (7 pm Saturday at the
Santa Barbara Museum of Art and
10:20 am on Tuesday at the Metro
4). Charles Lloyd, Arrows Into Infinity,
which follows 1996s Memphis is in
Egypt and 2007s Home: Charles Lloyd &
Billy Higgins, is nearly two hours long
and traces the 50-plus-year career of
the sax-man from his early days as a
massively popular boundary-busting
explorer in the Bay Area of the 1960s
(he was the first jazz artist to sell a mil-
lion LPs) to his self-banishment from
touring and recording in the 1970s-80s
through to his present day status as an
artistic spiritualist who uses music as
a source for both seeking and solace.
The enigma that is Lloyd is explored
through his playing (and signature
nonlinear way of speaking) and with
words and music from colleagues
and contemporaries Eric Harland,
Herbie Hancock, Jason Moran, Robbie
Robertson, Stanley Crouch and oth-
ers. Lloyd turns 75 in March, and this
loving portrait by his wife who says,
Next to the house I built up here on
the hill (above Toro Canyon), I think it
is my best work serves as a fitting
tribute to his three quarters of a cen-
tury on earth.
Village resident Leslie Zemeckis,
who is married to famed director
Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future
trilogy, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?,
Forrest Gump, Polar Express and Flight,
one of this years Best Picture nomi-
nees), wrote and directed Bound by
Flesh, a documentary about Daisy and
Violet Hilton, Siamese sisters joined
at the hip who worked their way up
from the carnival sideshow circuit
to become the biggest moneymaking
act on vaudeville. Leslie, who also
helmed the doc Behind the Burly Q that
aired on Showtime and turned her
burlesque-inspired one-woman show
Staar into a mockumentary feature,
used the voices of Lea Thompson,
Nancy Allen, Blake Boys and fellow
Montecito resident Tim Stack in Bound
By Flesh, which screens 7:20 pm on
Tuesday and 10:20 am on Wednesday
