GUEST EDITORIAL

by Bob Hazard Mr. Hazard is an Associate Editor of this paper and a former president of Birnam Wood Golf Club

Building Our Community Through Volunteering

L

ast week, the Coral Casino ballroom was filled to the brim with community volunteers and non-profit group leaders for a luncheon sponsored by the Santa Barbara Foundation. The purpose of the luncheon is to celebrate volunteerism by selecting and recognizing this year’s man and woman of the year in volunteer community service. This year, Man of the Year honors went to Dr. Ed Birch, for his work at the Music Academy of the West, CALM, the Botanic Gardens, Westmont College and the Neighborhood Clinics.

Vicki Hazard, my wife of 35 years, received Woman of the Year honors for her service as board chair of Sansum Clinic, which provides nearly half of all the outpatient healthcare in the greater Santa Barbara community, as well as her leadership service with the Santa Barbara Scholarship Foundation and the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara. Past recipients choose the current year’s winners. Among the more recent woman winners are fellow Montecito residents Anne Towbes, Gerd Jordano, Maryan Schall, Joanne Rapp, Jane Habermann, Patricia McFarlane, and Carol Palladini.

Opportunities for Volunteer Service in this Community

There are more than 500 local, non-profit organizations for would-be Montecito volunteers to choose from.

If your passion is HEALTHCARE... try volunteering with the Neighborhood Clinics, Cottage Hospital, Sansum Clinic, the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara, Visiting Nurses & Hospice Care, the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation, the American Cancer Society or Doctors Without Borders. Alcoholics Anonymous and 12-step drug rehabilitation programs are 100-percent run by volunteers. Halfway houses for convalescent care, the Alzheimer ’s Association, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the American Heart Association and Autism Speaks all provide excellent volunteer opportunities.

If your passion is THE ARTS... become involved with the Music Academy of the West, the Art Museum or the Granada, the Lobero, or the New Vic theater. Sing in a choir. Perform in a musical ensemble. Support ballet, opera or the symphony. And don’t forget to display your own volunteer creativity in the Summer Solstice celebration, the peoples’ parade.

If GARDENS are your passion... volunteer at Lotusland, the Pearl Chase Society or the Botanic Gardens.

If your passion is the ENVIRONMENT... follow the lead of Hillary Hauser into “Heal the Ocean.” Work with the Montecito Association on community beautification. Pick up trash, Adopt a Highway, or clean a beach.

Join the Montecito Trails Foundation or ChannelKeepers.

If your passion is ANIMALS... become involved with the zoo, the Humane Society, the Sea Center or the care of marine mammals. Protect baby seals by joining the Carpinteria Seal Watch. Join the Animal Shelter Assistance Program (ASAP) or the Dog Adoption and Welfare Group (D.A.W.G.) If your passion is CIVICS... become engaged in public causes and governance. Serve on the Montecito Association, the Montecito Planning Commission, the Montecito Board of Architectural Review, the Water Board, the Sanitary Board, the Fire Board or the Montecito Community Foundation Board. Join the Rotary Club, the Santa Barbara Foundation or the Chamber of Commerce.

If your passion is HELPING THE DISADVANTAGED... join Habitat for Humanity to build homes for low-income families, or the Food Bank of Santa Barbara County. Serve in a shelter. Support a thrift store or encourage your kids to raise money for philanthropic causes.

Volunteer with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) for children or CALM (Child Abuse, Listening, and Mediation). Volunteering for the Santa Barbara Special Olympics can be a special treat.

LETTERS

TO THE EDITOR

If you have something you think Montecito should know about, or wish to respond to something you read in the Journal, we want to hear from you. Please send all such correspondence to: Montecito Journal, Letters to the Editor, 1206 Coast Village Circle, Suite D, Montecito, CA. 93108. You can also FAX such mail to: (805) 969-6654, or E-mail to jim@montecitojournal.net

Open Letter, Open Mind

I

can rest easy now that Mr. Chubb has returned to Montecito (“Good To Be Back,” MJ #22/10). I take great pride in the fact that someone of Mr. Chubb’s self-perceived accomplishments considers my letters to the editor as tedious, and I will be glad to give Mr. Chubb some additional material for his reading pleasure.

Consistency is a virtue and Mr. Chubb and his like-minded pals are, if nothing else, consistent. The jump to the race card is always the first move.

Let me present this very clearly. A few years ago, I wrote a letter to the MJ that listed 26-plus reasons not to have confidence in Mr. Obama’s thoughts, words, and legislative deeds. I would ask Mr. Chubb to point out where race was mentioned once in my letter. Mr. Obama is the Divider in Chief ,and race is only one of his divisionary desires. His attempts to divide know no bounds, as he has decided that in order to win people who don’t think like him must lose.

If there ever was a country that exemplified the adage Win/Win, it is ours. I for one have spent my entire life working to help those who truly need help regardless of race, color, or creed. That is what fair-minded people do; it is called the “Summa bona”; look it up. While your assistant is looking up Latin translations, you might want to look up the Latin word conflatus.

For Mr. Chubb to conflate questioning of a policy with one being racist and all the ugly and hurtful things that philosophy embodies, is in fact what is wrong with the way he thinks.

I take issue with the president’s “non-silver lining playbook” (a cinematic reference: wanted to make sure you were still paying attention) and not his race. Welcome back to Montecito; please try to keep an open mind.

Ralph T. Iannelli Montecito (Editor’s note: Well, we sure hope you and Mr. Chubb continue the conversation

in this paper, as we enjoy the give and take. – J.B.)

What’s up with That?

The Republicans in Washington can team up against Donald Trump in a matter of days but can’t stop Barack Obama and liberal policies in seven years?

Frank Anderson Manteca, CA (Editor’s note: And, there you have identified the continuing appeal of Donald Trump in one nicely crafted nutshell of a sentence! – J.B.)

Don’t Water Yet

Due to the recent welcome rains, please remember to not water outside for seven to 10 sunny days after such a rain event, and if we get more again this coming weekend, then also begin the rain pause from that rain event forward. Cumulative savings are big when the whole community conserves correctly and lets Mother Nature do its job instead. This water saved will be needed later in the year, for sure!

Good job so far, and keep it up into the future as conservation must be the new norm here in Montecito.

Mike Clark Montecito Water District (Editor’s note: Mr. Clark is MWD’s Water Conservation coordinator.)

Flowers for the Fallen

I’m sure you are familiar with the quote “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

Most homeowners know the yellow clover – oxalis – that blooms in the winter and can take over areas. As a gardener, I pull it by hand or cut it with a weed whacker. But it always comes back. Yet I saw something wonderful recently: acres of yellow flow-

One man’s “weed” is another man’s flower, in this case, a field of flowers as the U.S. flag is flown at half-staff for the fallen at Santa Barbara Cemetery

Understand

L

et me be perfectly clear. (If only that were possible!)

No matter what I say, somebody (sometimes everybody) will misunderstand. Some may even take offense where none is intended (not that there aren’t people who deserve to be offended.)

What is this “understanding” which we all crave? It must refer to the Great Bowl of Universe. Here we find ourselves “standing under” it and trying to catch a few little drops of meaning.

But in terms of human communication, serious MISunderstandings can arise from trivial causes – and very often language is the culprit – even when only one tongue is involved.

Somebody once said that America and Britain are two countries divided by a common language. An excellent example of this can seen in the fact that, in our Congress, to “table” a motion means to set it aside, whereas in England, putting a proposal “on the table” means taking it up for discussion. I don’t know how this difference arose, but, in negotiations between the two countries, can you imagine the diplomatic disasters such a discrepancy might cause – and, in fact, has caused!

Matters, of course, can be much worse when two different languages are involved, and everything hinges on interpretation. In one instance, it is reliably reported that in 1945 a linguistic misunderstanding may actually have prolonged our war with Japan in its last phase, and cost untold lives and suffering. Apparently, the Japanese words implying that serious consideration would be given to a key peace proposition were somehow interpreted as meaning that the proposition would be ignored. So the war went on, and the A-bombs were dropped.

And a century earlier, in the Crimean War, the famous Charge of the Light Brigade, which involved British cavalry suicidally charging a heavily fortified Russian position is supposed to have resulted from a misunderstanding of orders. (Something about going for the wrong guns.) There were no second thoughts, as Tennyson put it, “not though the soldier knew someone had blunder’d.”

Somehow, this all reminds me of the United Nations negotiator who was sent to the Middle East to mediate one of the hideous conflicts between Jews and Arabs, and is said to have begun 17 – 24 March 2016

the proceedings by saying, “Now, gentlemen, can’t we just sit down together and settle this like Christians?”

Yes (coming back to our central point), I do want to be understood.

And so do you. And then there would be no more problems. But spouses don’t understand each other. Nor, notoriously, do parents and their children – so what can we expect of nations? If I didn’t know better, I would suggest that this must be how we get the expression “The peace that passeth all understanding” (a bitter joke, stemming from a passage in the New Testament, which has been made about many so-called peace settlements, particularly the one at Versailles in 1919, which “settled” World War I, and paved the way for World War II.) When I was a child and still believed in prayer, the one thing I can remember asking God for was to have more “understanding parents.”

What I meant, of course, was to have them see things from my point of view. It may have been the failure of this fervent wish to materialize that turned me into an infidel. But I continued to believe in the concept of understanding, particularly in international relations. When I was getting an M.A. in education at Claremont and had to write a thesis, I chose to make a study of “International Understanding as an Attitude Objective in the Teaching of World History.” I went around to local schools and questioned history teachers about whether or how they were trying to promote International Understanding among their students. What I found, as I expected, was that – no matter how you sliced it – our own country always came off best.

My thesis was accepted and probably still sleeps there on the library shelves of what is now Claremont Graduate University. In the years since then, I myself made little stabs at being a “citizen diplomat” with independent and group forays to the Soviet Union, Red China, and even to the Middle East. Whether these efforts have actually increased the amount of understanding in the world is, I suppose, in the kindest interpretation, open to question.

But let there be no misunderstanding about the things that really matter most – with chocolate and peanut butter always at the head of the list. •MJ

Fire Station Concerns in Summerland

L

ast week, the CarpinteriaSummerland Fire Protection District held two public meetings to garner public input to be included in a Standards of Cover study currently being conducted at the District. “We are talking about critical infrastructure here, and we want to know what the public thinks,” said interim fire chief Jim Rampton, who gave us a tour of the Summerland station earlier this week.

At issue is the outdated condition of both fire stations in the District: one in Carpinteria and one in Summerland, on Lillie Avenue. The Summerland station is considered the greatest priority, as it has been there for nearly 90 years, when the fire district was first formed. “It’s outdated and inadequate,” Rampton said, adding that it is no longer large enough to house the newest generation of fire trucks.

“We have to choose trucks that will fit in here; it’s not ideal by any means.”

The small station houses three to four firefighters at a time, with a small living area, communal bedroom, one toilet, and one shower. The building is roughly 10 feet from Highway 101, separated by a chain-link fence and small buffer of landscaping.

Plans to relocate the station farther down the road at the Mosquito & Vector Control property at 2450 Lillie Avenue have been in the works for years; approved plans currently exist to build a new station there, but Rampton said the relocation has not historically been a popular option, mostly due to expense.

After a failed $10-million bond measure last year, the district’s board opted to commission Citygate to conduct the district-wide study, which is expected to take six months in total (it’s already

Interim CarpinteriaSummerland Fire chief Jim Rampton, who says updating the District’s two stations is the utmost priority

been almost three months) and will cost $85,000. With the station located near the coast and the freeway, finding a property in which to relocate the Summerland station is complicated, Rampton said. Stations are typically built to last 50 years; the goal is to relocate the Summerland Station and completely remodel the Carpinteria Station, bringing it up to current standards.

Politics at the Fire District are also complicated, as the District is moving past a 2013 lawsuit between it and the firefighters’ labor group. Some restructuring occurred at that time, with Rampton, then a battalion chief, taking the role as interim chief. Choosing a permanent chief will occur after the Citygate study, Rampton said.

The Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District participates in automatic, mutual aid to Montecito Fire Protection District, responding to fire and accident calls. “That won’t change with relocation of the station,” Rampton said, adding that travel times could increase to Montecito if the Summerland Station is moved farther south. “Our priority has and always will be, protecting residents

enry Diltz shot some of the most iconic album cover photos in history, 400 in all, including The Doors, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and James Taylor to name just a few artists who grew out of the the Laurel Canyon music scene almost half a century ago. There are more than 400,000 images in his archive, and a documentary about his life will be released this fall. Some of the more popular ones will be on display at the Lobero Theatre on Wednesday, March 23, when Diltz – who has shot Sings Like Hell concerts at the venue of the years and has videotaped every show in the Tales From The Tavern series in Santa Ynez since the late 1990s – shares the stage with fellow photog Pattie Boyd, the ex-wife of both George Harrison of The Beatles and Eric Clapton. (She was the muse for the songs “Layla” and “Something”.)

In a show dubbed Behind the Lens, both will talk about their lives in the world of music and photography from both sides of the Atlantic, showing slides and telling stories about the era.

“Another Hotel Room” by Pattie Boyd (courtesy of Morrison Hotel Gallery - www.morrisonhotelgal lery.com)

Diltz talked about his career over the phone from Los Angeles.

Q. Why music photography?

A. I came through the door of being a musician. I was in a folk group, the Modern Folk Quartet, that toured the country for five years in colleges and clubs. On our last trip, we bought funky little cameras in a second-hand store to relieve the boredom of travel.

The club always looks so nautical and festive for this seasonal event with a red carpet laid at the entry and red, white, and blue balloons in all shapes and sizes. This year an Irish band, Foggy Dew, kept people’s feet tapping.

Bloody Marys and mimosas were the order of the day before “attacking” the bountiful breakfast buffet that had everything from eggs Benedict, French toast, pancakes, crispy bacon, and sausages to lox and bagels.

Boy Scouts Jon Seaward, Dylan Seaward, and Dylan Koontz presented the colors, and Gary Smith sang the National Anthem. He gets the record for holding a note longest!

Then comes the parade of the fleet, which any of the guests could take part. I declined since I’d just gotten sick on a whale-watching expedition a couple of weeks ago.

The Women’s Division of the Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara has been around since the 1980s fund-raising to support Jewish life locally, in Israel and around the world. I particularly like the $1 a day campaign for the Pearl Society. That’s a gift of $365 or $1 a day.

Members and friends gathered at the Biltmore for their annual philanthropy luncheon on the patio by the Loggia Room enjoying the pink sparkling wine and harpist Lynette Johnson.

You could also do a bit of shopping for leather goods by Mikanmor, all hand-made in Israel.

Event co-chairs Cindy Feinberg and Debra Friedland led the way inside, which was stunning in orchid, hot pink, and cream. The centerpieces were clear glass cylinders with orchids floating inside, hot pink napkins and a small orchid at each place on the favor package – simple and beautiful.

Bobbi and her husband spent many years in Columbus, Indiana, but Santa Barbara was lucky when they settled here. They now only spend one week a month in Indiana. Mayor Helene Schneider read one of several proclamations for Bobbi stating Santa Barbara’s was the prettiest.

While one guy would drive, the rest of us would snap pictures. We got back to L.A. and developed what we had it turned out to be slide films, which I didn’t even realize. So we had a slide show and invited friends.

It was amazing to see these moments in our lives project eight-feet wide on the wall. It was an epiphany for me.

I wanted to take more and just keep doing it. And that’s what happened.

But it wasn’t a professional thing.

Stephen Still, David Crosby, The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield – those were my friends. I started photographing them as a friends, not jobs. I was just hanging out with my camera and it developed from there. I never went to photography school. I never even meant to be a photographer. I just happened to be in the middle of the singer-songwriter flowering renaissance that happened in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. Some of them became famous, that’s all.

but had no photos of them together. So we drove all around Hollywood stopping and taking pictures wherever.

Then we found a funky old cabin with a couch. They jumped on it, and I took a few pictures up close, and my partner Gary Burden, a graphic designer who was really the art director for all those photo shoots and album covers back then, told me to back up and get the whole house. So I went across the street. It was perfect for the album cover, except they’re sitting backward – Nash, Stills, and Crosby. They hadn’t even settled on the name yet till after we had the pictures. So we decided to go back and take them again, just

five minutes and we’d be done. It was only two days later, but the house was gone, bulldozed. All that was there was an empty lot, which became a parking lot. Which it still is today.

Were you aware of the historical significance of what you were doing when you were taking the photos, at least later on?

Never once in all those years did I think, “These are important pictures.

Someday, I’ll have a piece of history.”

No, it never occurred to me. Every day was fun. I’d see friends, smoke a little of God’s herb and take some photos. It was just an adventure, easy and hanging out, very carefree. It

wasn’t until the 1990s that people starting asking me about archives, which sounded too professional to me. But sure enough, I do have one.

It’s been 50 years since I first picked up a camera. So now I understand I have a visual history of time and place. People want to use them for books, videos, movies. We sell prints in the gallery because people want to remember the artists and music they loved. Now it’s museum shows and galleries and making books. Most of what I do is scanning and sending historical pictures.

ENTERTAINMENT Page 194

Did you ever do other types of photography, or other artists, celebrities?

Yeah. I’d shoot my (musical) friends all week and show them on the weekend. But also I’d also spend the week looking for interesting things to fill out the show, just things I would see.

I’d find stuff on Hollywood or Sunset Boulevard, or in Laurel Canyon. There were lots of cats on the streets, and I took pictures of them. Old junk cars. Anything my eye went over, if it looked interesting, I put it in my slideshow.

Eventually I had categories I’d group them into: Tattoos. People giving the peace sign, or the finger. Old trucks.

People with pets. Random shapes like hearts or stars. Old barns and fire hydrants. There are 50 different ones I was using. I was into finding the numbers 1-100 and all the letters. I’d make them interesting for my stoned hippie friends, just to entertain them.

What’s the secret to taking these kind of candid, personal photographs?

Many people aren’t comfortable in front of a camera. They don’t like it if you ask them to pose. So I just wait until they’re not paying attention, and then I take the photo. It’s like Jane Goodall and the chimpanzees. She wanted to take notes on what was really happening, just be an observer and not influence their behavior.

That’s me – a fly on the wall. I don’t want them to be self-conscious. Unless it’s a group and you have to say “Look over here,” it’s like a documentary. So, you let everything happen and just keep shooting.

I know you’re going to share stories of the album covers and other iconic shots at the Lobero. But can we have a sneak-preview of one of them, say the first Crosby, Stills & Nash album?

A Decade Later It is hard to believe, but Santa Barbara Symphony maestro Nir Kabaretti has been celebrating his 10th anniversary on the podium, firstly at the Arlington until it moved to the gloriously renovated Granada.

Needless to say, the venerable venue was packed for the occasion, as Nir, 48, who since last year has also conducted the Southwest Florida Symphony, when he featured a pair of masterworks – Wagner’s Die Meistersinger Overture and Brahm’s Symphony No. 2 – he played at his debut as decade ago.

The entertaining program also included Hummel’s crowd-pleasing Trumpet Concerto, which showcased the abundant talents of longtime orchestra principal Jon Lewis.

“Brahms’s symphony was the very first work I conducted in Santa Barbara as it was one of my audition pieces in 2006 at the Arlington, and the Wagner piece was the work that launched my tenure as music director,” says Nir. “I looked forward to doing the Brahms work again, this time with the many musicians who have joined the symphony over the last 10 years. For this festive concert, I wanted to have a soloist from our orchestra and I’m delighted Jon was able to oblige.”

Under Nir, who hails from Israel and used to live in Florence, Italy, the symphony has plotted a boldly collaborative course, sharing the stage with likes of Chinese pianist Lang Lang, Helene Grimaud, Lynn Harrell, and Anne Akio Meyers, mounting fully staged productions of Stravinsky’s Firebird and Copland’s Appalachian Spring with Rodney Gustafson’s State Street Ballet.

The symphony also performed Beethoven’s Ninth and Mahler’s Resurrection symphony with the Quire of Voyces and Santa Barbara Choral Society, as well as teaming up with three area arts organizations for an ambitious, multidisciplinary production of German composer Carl Orff’s epic cantata Carmina Burana to open the current season.

“Under Nir’s leadership, the symphony has developed into one of the finest regional orchestras in the world,” says board president Arthur Swalley. “He is beloved for his community spirit and collaborative genius,

How have things changed with the advent of digital photography and editing programs such as Photoshop?

I never do that. I never even crop my photos. I always wanted the picture to look exactly like it did to my eye. I wanted to capture it exactly. I only used God’s light only. You don’t need anything else. It’s about how you frame the picture in the camera. Move in until you have what you want, until the elements look balanced and just press the button. It’s instinctive, it just feels right. So I never do anything to them later. That can be valid, but it’s not my thing.

This presentation is with Pattie Boyd.

What’s your connection?

When we started the Morrison Hotel Gallery in the Sunset Marquis hotel in L.A. about 15 years ago, it was only my photos at first, but one by one we added other rock photographers. Now there’s 125! A few years in, we contacted Pattie and she came to New York for the gallery opening there. We got along so well that we became instant friends. She’s so much fun. Last year, we did five of these shows in major cities, which was a real blast. Now this year it’s 15.

Many of the songs were intended for Sam & Ash, as the duo were beginning to draw some attention. But then Harvey got married and moved to Ireland.

“I never thought I’d go off and make a solo album, but I had to keep myself

busy,” Broder explained the other day.

“These started as songs I wanted Sam and I to do. But when she left, I decided to jump off and go after the solo version of the stuff I’d been writing.”

The album traverses any number of styles, but comes together with a cohesiveness that characterizes all of Broder’s music, a sensibility all her own.

“I’ve always loved traditional folk music, fiddle tunes – they’re so much fun,” Broder said. “But I’ve always also been drawn to other sounds – rock, blues and jazz, electronic music.

I love them all. So I wanted to write something that expresses more of

what I feel today, who I am. The challenge was to find something that was more of my own voice.”

The album got its genesis when Broder met Kevin McCormick, the Ventura-based bassist who has toured for years with Jackson Browne, Melissa Etheridge, Crosby Stills & Nash, and others. They talked briefly at a local coffee shop before McCormick’s son took a couple of mandolin lessons with Broder, and she learned a lot more about her pupil’s father.

“Kevin offered himself as a producer, or just to record us, but then Sam

Not Too Short

I disagree with John Cleese’s nasty comment about Daniel Craig as reported in Richard Mineards’ column (“Mineards’s Miscellany” MJ #22/10). I think Daniel Craig is the best James Bond since Sean Connery. Pierce Brosnan might be taller and may be better-looking, but he just doesn’t get James Bond the way Mr. Craig does. Besides, Craig is a better actor and so... buff. And, he looks very cool in a white tuxedo. I hope he does at least one more James Bond film and hopefully has a better script to work with.

Water, Water, Everywhere

In my 2011 novel A Truthful Myth (presented at Tecolote Book Store back then), I began the story with a young chemical engineer at the fictitious Montecito University inventing a bench-top model, which he later successfully scaled up, of a novel desalination plant utilizing unique methods of powering it with wind and solar energy. Quite an invention. Fiction then, but the formula for the future.

Since that story, San Diego placed a billion-dollar desalination plant on-line in December 2015, the largest of its kind in the Western Hemisphere.

Californians already pay the highest income taxes and sales taxes along with the highest gasoline prices in the country. Eventually, they will get used to paying more for water, their most essential nutrient. That’s a big Pacific Ocean out there, and I am confident that in time the innovators will come up with even more efficient ways to utilize that great resource.

The Southwest will thrive!

It Takes an Idiot

I am hereby suspending my campaign to become America’s next Official Village Idiot. Never have I encountered such a rich crop of worthy opponents. Will the last person over the wall please turn out all the lights?

Sol Morrison Montecito (Editor’s note: Just curious, are the “rich crop of worthy opponents” current Santa Barbara City Council members who seriously considered removing 85 parking spaces from Micheltorena, or are you referring to a larger picture? – J.B.)

Raccoons Got to Go

This was sent to me by a friend in Yuma, Arizona. He didn’t know who wrote it or where it was sent from. I thought I’d send it to you, as I believe it concisely articulates the frustration of the American people and why they are voting for Donald Trump in droves.

Many people have asked me if I support the Republican Party. Here is a letter I sent to the RNC; you be the judge.

Dear Representative, From the time I was able to vote, I have voted Republican. I am 80 and have a great deal of respect and influence with hundreds of senior ballplayers who also network with thousands of others around the country.

I received your questionnaire and request for money and strongly agree with every question, as I have since Obama was elected. Unfortunately the one question that was missing is: “What have the Republicans done for the American people?”

We gave you a majority in the House and Senate, and you never listened to us.

Now you want our money?

You should be more concerned about our votes, not our money. You are the establishment, which means all you want is to save your jobs and line your pockets.

Well, guess what? It’s not going to happen. You can shake in your boots when I tell you our movement is for Trump, and he hasn’t asked for a dime.

You might think we are fools because you feel Trump is on a self-destruct course, but look beyond Washington and listen to the masses. Nobody has achieved what he has, especially in a state like New York.

If you really want to know how the majority of people feel – and this applies to both Democrats and Republicans – read below, it says it all.

You’ve been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested with raccoons. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean raccoons have overtaken your basement. You want them gone immediately. You call the city, four different exterminators, but nobody could handle the job. But there is this one guy and he guarantees you to get rid of them,

so you hire him. You don’t care if the guy smells; you don’t care if the guy swears; you don’t care if he’s an alcoholic; you don’t care how many times he’s been married; you don’t care if he voted for Obama; you don’t care if he has plumber’s crack... you simply want those raccoons gone. You want your problem fixed. He’s the guy. He’s the best. Period Here’s why we want Trump: yes, he’s a bit of an ass; yes, he’s an egomaniac, but we don’t care. The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republican Party is two-faced and gutless, and illegals are everywhere. We want it all fixed.

We don’t care that Trump is crude, we don’t care that he insults people, we don’t care that he had been friendly with Hillary, we don’t care that he has changed positions, we don’t care that he’s been married three times, we don’t care that he fights with Megyn Kelly and Rosie O’Donnell, we don’t care that he doesn’t know the name of some Muslim terrorist.

This country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegals, we are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo, and Hasid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don’t even recognize the country we were born and raised in. We just want it fixed, and Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want. We’re sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, Republican Party, and sick of illegals. We just want this thing fixed.

Trump may not be a saint, but he doesn’t have lobbyist money holding him back, he doesn’t have political correctness restraining him; all we know is that he has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he’s also not a politician; he’s not a cowardly politician.

And he says he’ll fix it. And we believe him, because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong or looked at and called a liar. Also we don’t care if the guy has bad hair. We just want those raccoons gone. Out of our house. I feel this is why people that haven’t voted in 25 years are registering to vote this year. The raccoons have got to go.

For myself, the clincher, as to why I’m going to vote for Trump is because Miley Cyrus has vowed she is going to leave the country if he gets in. So, go Donald, go!

Larry Bond Santa Barbara (Editor’s note: We like your thinking.

There are probably a great number of people threatening to leave the country if Mr. Trump is elected president and it would be “good riddance” for most of them. It’s not unusual, however, to feel that way, as I threatened to leave the country if Mad Max: Fury Road was voted “Best Picture” during this year’s Academy Award presentation. Although the film received a half-dozen awards, they were for makeup, costumes, editing, and sound, all reasonably deserved. But the film was a brainless exercise in stupidity; profes-

Recycling Danger

The idea is slowly getting out. Next time you are passing through the new entrance to Cottage Hospital, look down to see the sidewalk. Is it wet with recycled water? Are your feet tracking that into the building?

If so, how long has this in-tracking been going on? Is this water and its constituents then aerosolized by internal traffic and cleaning staff, as well as lawn sprinklers and does that aerosol enter the air system? Do the precautions for hyper filtration in the operating theaters sufficiently clear the air? There are papers on the failure of these precautionary systems in the medical literature. Does any of this make a lot of sense?

This is a series of questions that some would rather you not consider, but there it is. If you had not seen the papers on Santa Barbara’s recycled water that confirm the risk, then they are listed below in a recent Los Angeles Times piece. The Harwood paper is a peer-reviewed presentation of the WERF paper (00-PUM-2T) that came out in 2004, about when the seismic retrofit EIR study on the hospital was in discussion.

The Harwood paper and the WERF study included the recycled water produced by the City of Santa Barbara.

The head of the City’s planning commission had suggested during early design that the hospital stub out sewer laterals that were capable of hooking to pretreatment equipment.

It appears such a request was not initiated. There is a major body of literature that was presented to the City at that time documenting a potentially serious issue with public health and recycled water. We presented pictures of the City’s recycled water at the time, showing disk-diffusion plates with bacteria resistant to 11 of the 12 challenge antimicrobials in the Kirby Bauer. That series of discussions on what was found in the water seems to have had no effect. Does the hospital have stubbed-out capacity for pretreatment? Is the contamination of entryway traffic presenting a risk?

Who is looking at this?

It had been presented to the local, county, and state decision-makers, but what did they do with the information? The Fahrenfeld paper is current.

It is an extension of my early work with Dr. Judy Meyer, head of medical microbiology at SBCC. Her work was undertaker for several years, and she also was not heard by those in charge.

The Way It Was

Santa Barbara Roadways

by Hattie Beresford

(This article is a synthesis and reworking of four different articles published between 2006 and 2012.)

Santa Barbara Auto Camp soon added cottages as well as auto camp spaces on its site at 2717 De la Vina, which was called Hollister Avenue in 1922. Today, as Santa Barbara Trailer Park, it is the last of the 1920s auto camps in Santa Barbara. (courtesy John Fritsche)

t started out as a trickle and soon became a flood. Automobiles were pouring through Santa Barbara.

The local garages kept track of those who stayed to patronize the hotels, but city officials had their eyes on those who passed on by to camp along the roadsides or in farmers’ fields far outside of town.

When city councilman A.W. Dozier returned from an auto tour in 1915, he reported that he had encountered thousands of motor parties and shared camps with hundreds of people from throughout the country. Mindful of the lost business potential of motorists just “passing through,” Dozier recommended that the City designate a piece of land for an auto camp. Campers who stopped in Santa Barbara for the night would “lay in a supply of groceries, take in our theaters, spend a little money, and get an idea of what Santa Barbara really is,” he said.

No immediate action was taken on Dozier’s idea, though a young man named James L. Hawkins opened a camp in connection with his auto

supply station at Cacique and Salinas streets. He put in a grocery store and installed water, telephone, gas and light, and put in sewer connections.

In 1919, the City, cognizant that more than 100 motorists a day were bypassing Santa Barbara, finally opened its own camp at Alamar and today’s De la Vina streets. (This part of De la Vina was originally named Hollister. State Street did not extend past Constance and the western part of today’s State Street was also named Hollister.)

By 1920, the camp included a central lodge with a shady porch furnished with tables and chairs. Inside, campers could use gas plates for cooking, dishtowels, dishpans, and a large sink.

Ironing boards and irons were available, and there were two laundry tubs, a porcelain bathtub, and several showers. Hot water was supplied from a gas water heater.

The City Campground also provided the following: for the children, a large sandbox and swings; for the motorist/mechanic, a pit; for the laundress, facilities for drying clothes; and for the City, potential home buyers. In July 1920, City officials claimed, “Over eighteen thousand dollars worth of real estate has been sold… as a direct result of the Auto Park.”

City Campground, located underneath shady oak trees and near Mission Creek, was soon overflowing, so Santa Barbara Auto Camp opened across the street in 1922. (In 2016, Santa Barbara Trailer Park still occupies the site). In 1925, two more auto

camps opened in the immediate area and businesses catering to the autoists proliferated.

Montecito

Hollister Avenue was the western gateway to Santa Barbara, and the eastern gateway lay along the coast highway through Montecito. In 1923, Ida Lietzow capitalized on the auto camp craze that was sweeping the nation and developed Montecito Auto Camp on a strip of land that today houses Olive Mill Plaza. A small store fronted the coast highway (Coast Village Road) and six wood-floored tents descended toward Spring Street (which once lay south of today’s Coast Village Circle.)

ricks and mortar, a space for play, supplies and equipment, special events, and assemblies are important, but the heartbeat of every school is the teacher. My job in this column is to highlight those most important figures in the early lives of their pupils.

All Saints Parish School is located on a tree-lined lane with the scent of salt air and the sound of the sea in the distance, just behind All Saint’s by-theSea Episcopal Church. Wandering through the gate with a latch beyond the reach of an adventurous moppet, a bevy of preschoolers from ages 2 to 5 can be seen playing in the morning sun. Longtime director Padric Davis, overseeing the playground, noted that All Saints has maintained its original mission to teach the whole child – socially, emotionally, spiritually, and academically – over the past 50 years.

“This is truly a family place,” Padric notes. “We have former parents who have returned to us as teachers. One of our present teachers, a former parent, can point with pride to her daughter, a former student, who works here as a classroom aide. Completing the family picture, her almost two-and-ahalf-year-old grandson is in his first year here at All Saints. Not too many schools can say that.”

Cindy didn’t plan to be the teacher described by Ms Davis, but it seems that fate intervened to guide her to that place. A native New Yorker and the daughter of a psychology professor and a part-time teacher, Cindy

Nielsen studied psychology in college. However, after graduation, having always had a talent for math, she found a position in finance and banking. During those years, she met and married her husband of 38 years, John Hadidian. John had been a student at Westmont College in sunny Santa Barbara a long way from the winter’s chill and had hoped to return there one day permanently.

In the late 1970s, the East Coast disappeared in their rear-view mirror as the couple headed west, settling in in Carpinteria, where their three children were raised, attending local schools, including preschool at All Saints.

Cindy had hoped to be a stay-athome mom while her children were young. She volunteered in her children’s classrooms and did what she could to fill in wherever she was needed. One of her most impactful experiences was teaching math to a young

3 to 4-year-olds. Cindy and her aide, Pamela Hopkins, gather them together for the activities of the 9 am to 12:45 pm school day. Activities are divided between learning time, free time, and quiet time, and lessons include matching and sorting activities, grouping shapes, colors, letters, and numbers, necessary steps for reading readiness and number concepts. Assisted by Pamela, Cindy directs her teaching to each individual child, a skill she learned from her student long ago.

Every day is acknowledged on the calendar by date and month, birthdays are noted and celebrated, and story books line the shelves. Story time with Mrs. Hadidian is the highlight of the day.

Learning from her students is what continues to motivate Cindy. Whether it be a curly-haired child concentrating on the concept of “six” in the form of shiny objects, the girl with sparkly shoes who completed her task and wanted another, or the lone little boy finishing his snack at the table taking the time he needed to transition to the rug with the rest of his class, these children have become Cindy’s teachers and guides.

“He was one of my first real teachers,” Cindy remembers. “He taught me that not everyone learns exactly the same way. My job was to find the best way to help him understand. I listened closely to him… and I learned.” She believes the insights she gained with him have become valuable tools and opened the door to the joy of working with children.

Cindy’s first opportunity to teach came at the request of All Saints School’s former director, Eva Smith, who asked Cindy to substitute for a few days. The situation seemed ideal, as it gave her the freedom to continue to be a full-time mom. “On my very first day in that classroom, I had the feeling that this is what I am supposed to do,” she recounts. “I’ve always loved kids, but somehow the big picture just seemed to fall into place for me. I fell in love with an amazing group of 3 to 4-year-olds and still teach that age group today.” After four years of part-time teaching and with her own children increasingly independent, she became a full-time ECE certified teacher in 1993. Cindy is now rounding her 24th year at All Saints and is still going strong.

Coral Casino get-together (31 tables, 10 at each table) was to honor the award’s first recipient – Dr. Edward Birch – but it was also the first time since his memorial that Dr. Winter would be publicly remembered.

Dr. Edward Birch is president of the Mosher Foundation, chairman emeritus of the former Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, former UCSB vice chancellor;

he was also executive vice president of Westmont College, chairman of Pacific Capital Bancorp, and served as vice president of the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

Upon his introduction, Providence board chairman Randy Clark explained why Dr. Birch had been chosen to receive the honor: “Ed has been a true friend to Providence,” Randy said. “The Mosher Foundation was the major sponsor behind launching the Connected Learning Program in the high school in 2012. When Providence Hall and Santa Barbara Christian School joined into one school in 2013, the Mosher Foundation assisted with the special expenses incurred during the merger. When a man of the stature of Ed Birch steps forward,” Mr. Clark continued, “to endorse an institution, especially at a time of transition when many of us would sit back and wait to see how the winds blow, it speaks volumes to the promise and potential he sees in that institution.

“By believing in us, supporting us, and investing in our vision, he has helped forge the path to greater success and greater impact in the community he so clearly loves. His generosity and excellence are tangible evidence of the extravagant love in his heart.”

The evening featured a talk by film director-producer Bill Myers, a recent recipient of a C.S. Lewis Honor Award and author of The Adventures of McGee and Me series, whose seven titles have sold more than 4.5 million copies.

Mr. Myers is a familiar presence on the Focus on the Family radio series Adventures in Odyssey, and is the voice of Jesus in Zondervan’s NIV Audio Bible. Myers is also managing partner of Amaris Media International.

Mr. Myers explained that being an active Christian was an inherently positive thing and most often leads to positive outcomes such as peace of mind and general happiness, or at least contentment. He visually described the elements of what he thought represented the makeup of the human soul. It was a compelling and well-received talk. “Who in their right mind would not want [the peace and contentment that came with being a ‘good Christian’?]” he surmised.

• The Voice of the Village •

After Mr. Myers’s talk, a fifteen-minute video dedicated to the memory of Dr. Winter was played. Words such as gracious, kind, understanding, generous, wisdom, listener, patience, hopeful, funny, were used to describe Dr. Winter. Gerd Jordano was featured on the video and in praise of Dr. Winter said that she had “learned to much” from him, that it had been “a blessing to know him, to work with him, to see his leadership style... His was the voice of civility,” she opined.

Dr. Winter retired from his post as president of Westmont College in 2001, having served from 1976 until then, and again became interim president and chancellor from 2006 to 2007. Although in full retirement and nearly 80 years old, he agreed to serve as headmaster at Providence Hall “for three months” or until a suitable head of school could be hired, and ended up serving from 2008 to 2011.

“I think joy, happiness, fulfillment,” Dr. Winter’s voice intoned on the video, “come as a result of giving yourself to something or someone.”

He suggested further that the rewards of fulfillment came from “giving yourself away.”

Now calling itself “Providence, A Santa Barbara Christian School,” the institution began with a student body of just 11 and currently boasts more than 300 students from pre-school to 12th grade.

Dr. Birch’s acceptance was brief and modest. He called himself “a good friend of David Winter” (the two met at graduate school), and thanked the crowd for “being kind to an old man.”

He said that “David was an extraordinary leader and “a man of wonderful quirks.”

He concluded his remarks by thanking the board for acknowledging him.

“To be thought of and to be expressed in this way,” he said solemnly, “in the same breath as we talk about David Winter is truly an honor for me.”

During the live auction, head of school Dr. Scott Lisea and head of lower school Chris Rutz managed to raise well over $100,000, with five nights in Providence Hall supporter Kathy Ireland’s three-bedroom, three-bath beachfront Hawaiian condo (once owned by John Travolta and Kelly Preston) going for $9,000, and five nights in Elizabeth Taylor’s former Palm Springs home fetching $4,500. Professional surfer Lakey Peterson’s wetsuit was a standout feature of the silent auction, though I was not able to ascertain what the winning bid was.

By the end of the evening, there was no doubt left, if there ever had been any in anyone’s mind, that without Dr. Winter there would be no Providence Hall today.

WAY IT WAS (Continued from page 21) The Standard Station on today’s Los Patos, then Coast Highway, won several awards from the Plans and Planting Branch of the Community Arts Association of Santa Barbara (Courtesy Santa Barbara Historical Museum)

In that year, only two gas stations and six houses fronted the entire stretch of coast highway between Olive Mill and Hot Springs roads. In 1929, Martin Bonato joined the tourist camp business with Marty’s Auto Court, which stood at today’s 1155 Coast Village Road. Businesses catering to autoists soon multiplied and crowded together along the roadway.

American advertisers were quick to capitalize on the new mode of transportation as well. As paved highways began connecting the hubs of civilization, advertisements began appearing on the sides of barns and covered bridges. Billboards blaring their messages in loud colors appeared on land leased from farmers and ranchers, and businesses competed through a plethora of signage.

Not everyone was pleased.

Beautifying the Highway

Ever since travel writer Charles Nordhoff (1830-1901) had touted Santa Barbara as a health spa in his 1873

book, California: For Health, Pleasure, and Residence, city leaders had seen the wisdom in making and keeping Santa Barbara beautiful.

In Montecito, John Alexander Jameson, a transplant from Illinois, took this wisdom to heart. He was instrumental in the formation of the County Planning Commission and in laying the ground work for the Montecito Association, as well as the Montecito Water District and subsequent construction of the Doulton Tunnel and Juncal Dam. By the late 1920s, auto traffic spilling down or chugging up Ortega Hill and along Coast Village had increased 100fold. In 1928, the highway through Montecito consisted of three lanes (the center one for passing), and it still couldn’t keep up with the traffic. The State wanted more lanes to accommodate more traffic; however, trucks already roared past roadside businesses imperiling locals and tourists alike.

County director of planning L. Deming Tilton advanced the concerns of Jameson and many Montecitans when he said that the approaches to

Coast Highway (Coast Village Road) had become “lined with cheap and unsightly commercial establishments” by the end of the 1920s (Courtesy Santa Barbara Bank and Trust) The Montecito Parkway attempted to protect the rest of Montecito from commercialization and preserve what was once a charming carriage road (Courtesy California Division of Highways [056-1] Reproduced by permission of the California Department of Transportation, Library and History Center)

the city had become shabbier and shabbier each year. In his report to the County Planning Commission, he wrote, “Montecito rebels at the prospect of this once-delightful, tree-bordered old carriage road becoming a barren, fume-filled canyon of blatant signs, malodorous restaurants, flimsy auto camps, and tourist hotels.”

The answer, Jameson and the commission believed, was to create a triple roadway; one for through traffic and two on each side for local businesses.

The highway was to become a parkway with planting strips on each side and in the median. The report said that the parkway was to be designed “to insulate private property from the noise, fumes, glare, and hazards of highway traffic” by creating a screen of attractively landscaped vegetation.

Both frontage roads were to be bordered with vegetation as well.

The plan was approved December

Roadside Improvements

Others joined the cause for improving the roadsides. Throughout the nation, local organizations were calling for controls on billboard advertising, finding them unattractive and unsafe. Signage was not the only concern, however. The roadsides needed to be beautified through plantings and

30, 1930, and Jameson spent the next several years leading the crusade to raise monies and secure the property rights for the project. The first phase, extending from Olive Mill Road to San Ysidro Road, was completed two months after Jameson died. Plans to extend the parkway to Sheffield Drive were not completed until 1948 and lasted only six years before that section was modified for a freeway that included off-ramps and on-ramps.

MONTECITO WATER DISTRICT IT’S NATIONAL FIX A LEAK WEEK! MARCH 14-20, 2016

HOUSEHOLD LEAKS WASTE MORE THAN 1 TRILLION GALLONS EVERY YEAR NATIONWIDE!

maintenance. Nationwide, women’s organizations and others were called on to organize clean-up campaigns.

In Santa Barbara, besides a campaign against road signs, the Plans and Planting Branch (P&P) of the Community Arts Association decided it wanted to encourage the beautification of roadside businesses as well.

In 1930, Pearl Chase, chair of the P&P wrote, “The Plans and Planting Branch of the Community Arts Association of Santa Barbara is working in behalf of the ever-increasing numbers who travel the highways for pleasure to improve the character of commercial buildings near towns and on the rural highways.… It is frequently remarked that the highways of California are fast becoming lined with cheap and unsightly commercial establishments… [that] seldom serve their purpose most efficiently and with the least possible offense to the eye.

There was much to offend the eye along Santa Barbara’s roads, so the P&P decided to focus on one area, auto camps. Eleven auto camps in Montecito, Goleta, and Santa Barbara were surveyed in 1930, and a statewide architectural competition to create artistically pleasing auto camps was announced. Unfortunately, it was 17 – 24 March 2016

cancelled at the last minute, but the P&P regrouped and shifted their focus to service stations.

Working with multiple organizations throughout the county, the P&P initiated a campaign to promote cleaner and better-landscaped gas stations.

A competition offered cash prizes to those who entered, stations were rated and the ratings were published.

Touting the slogan “High-quality gas and oil doesn’t cost any more at an attractive station than it does at an unattractive one,” the P&P hoped to inspire gas stations to clean up and the public to patronize those who did.

Meanwhile, the auto camps and courts continued to decline to the point that FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover attacked them in an article entitled “Camps of Crime”. Many believed that the anonymity of auto court life versus hotel life had led to a class of travelers who were one step above tramps. Communities were no longer so welcoming of these visitors, who became known as “tin can tourists.”

(Many, many thanks to John Fritsche for the use of his historic postcards of auto camps and courts that once lined Santa Barbara’s highways. A real treasure, both he and his collection! •MJ

“There were a lot of things that hadn’t gotten realized,” she explained. “I’d like a melody, but it wouldn’t fit with Syncopaths or with Sam. So it just sat there in a pile of stuff.

Then there’s his schedule of solo appearances, which have included dates with the San Francisco Symphony, the National Orchestra of Belgium, the Mexico City Philharmonic Orchestra, and all the major orchestras of Canada.

Just last year, Beaver added the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra (SBCO) to that list, joining the venerable music director Heiichiro Ohyama and the ensemble to perform as soloist for both Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” and Astor Piazzolla’s “The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires”, not to mention a thrilling encore of Tango La Cumparcita by Gerardo Matos Rodríguez (aka “Fernando’s Hideaway”) with Ohyama on viola.

Beaver is back on Tuesday, March 22, when he will serve as the star of Felix Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto at the Lobero. He talked about the concert and more over the phone from his Los Angeles home recently.

Q. How did you first get connected with the SBCO? A. I’ve known Heiichiro Ohyama for a while. We met in 1993, when he was conducting Wet Ink, the contemporary music festival in San Francisco where I was playing a concerto by Canadian composer Alexina Louie.

It turned out he had studied with William Primrose, who is my wife’s father by adoption. The concert was a very nice reunion for the extended family. Later, he played with the Tokyo for a viola quintet. When I joined Colburn, he invited me to come and play with the orchestra since I live in the area. It was really thrilling to play the eight seasons Can you talk about the challenges, the rewards, and what you find fascinating about the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto?

It’s brilliantly written, one of the great masterpieces in the genre for violin, just tip-top. It’s been crafted with genius.

dramatic work, with moments of great intensity and passion. It just has that balance, and it’s a good length. It’s also very challenging to play for the soloist. But it’s so wonderful that it’s worth the work. It’s one that would appeal both to the audience member who isn’t that knowledgeable, because it’s quite accessible, but it’s also extraordinarily complex, so that interests the complete music lover.

What makes it so challenging?

It’s written in a violinistic way.

Mendelssohn knew quite a bit about string playing and he consulted Ferdinand David, the concertmaster in Leipzig, so he was able to check on what would be possible or impossible to play. The third movement goes quite fast, which makes it especially challenging. But interspersed with the technically difficult passages, you’re called upon to be lyrical and sensitive.

So you have to wear a lot of hats.

Hearing you talk about the challenges, I’m wondering do you endeavor to get to a place where you’ve got the technical stuff handled so thoroughly that you can, if you’ll pardon a So Cal expression, ride the wave and just enjoy the performance along with the audience?

We strive to get to that place where you’ve done the work and figured it out, and know how to handle the tempo, the dynamics, et cetera. You do your hours of practice to play the notes in tune, and get a good sound.

Ideally when you step out on stage, you try to reach a state of mind where you only have to monitor on some level of subconsciousness and mostly let go and just express yourself. That’s what is most meaningful.

You’ve had the opportunity to play on some extraordinary instruments: first the 1729 “ex-Heath” Guarnerius del Gesù violin, and the Strad with the Tokyo.

How was it to transition back to the 1789 Nicolo Bergonzi violin?

This Bergonzi I’ve been playing since 1989, even when those other two were on loan to me, but not very often.

It is a challenge to change. Strads all have strong and unique personalities, and it took a few months for me to come to terms with how to make the sounds that I wanted, and a good year or more to truly feel comfortable playing it. Strads sound great, but when it comes down to it, you have to work quite hard. I played the Bergonzi occasionally just to keep it in shape, so the sound wouldn’t become dormant.

But now it’s like coming home. It’s really my instrument. I do miss the Strad or certain elements. The whole set went to the Hagen Quartet after we disbanded. It’s nice that the set that Paganini put together is remaining together and being played by another •MJ quartet.

A SeaDream Rally

Well, it’s not really a SeaDream Rally. But, you see, SeaDream (named “The Best Small Luxury Cruise Ship” in 2015 by Condé Nast Traveler) is the 350-foot yacht upon which two lucky couples will sail to either the Mediterranean or the Caribbean on a one-week cruise, if they are top bidders in the live auction on the night of the 3rd annual Rally 4 Kids fundraiser for United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County, scheduled for Saturday, May 14, at Pat and Ursula Nesbitt’s Summerland estate.

SeaDream Yacht Club has supported the United Boys & Girls Club rally every year for the past three years, and both trips retail in the $15,000 to $20,000 range (for two). There are 56 staterooms on both SeaDream I and SeaDream II, with a maximum capacity of 112 guests and a crew of nearly 100. During a short conversation at the MJ office, rally organizer Diana Starr Langley says that she has been a SeaDream passenger on three different occasions and her close friend, Sheila Herman, has taken some seven cruises onboard this luxurious craft.

“It’s as close to ‘private’ as you can get,” Diana explains, “without incurring the cost of a private yacht. They treat you like royalty, go to magnifi-

cent places, and cater to every whim.

It’s just a nice organization to work with,” she says.

Also on the auction list is one of a selection of 17 resort homes available for a four-night stay at Exclusive Resorts, a club that features a portfolio of more than 400 great homes around the world. The homes average 3,500 square feet and feature from two to five bedrooms and sleep up to 10 people, so it’s an auction prize one can team up with other friends to help pay for if that’s important. “These are all multi-million-dollar homes,” Diana says.

Additionally, Sunstone Winery in Santa Ynez Valley has donated its villa retreat for two nights, along with dinner and wines; this also sleeps up to 10.

The first 30-car rally in 2014, traveled through Santa Barbara County and up into the far reaches of Santa Ynez Valley in search of poker hands.

Last year’s “Challenge” rally featured some 50 vehicles and deployed along the back roads of Southern California from the QAD parking lot in Summerland to Ojai, Ventura, and on into Malibu via Mulholland Drive, accepting “challenges” such as shooting foul-line baskets, racing

Lea’s property stands on 1.13 oceanfront acres

U.K. of late.

The impressive property is being sold through Berkshire Hathaway.

For Josh Sakes Josh Elliott, who started his journalism career as an editor on UCSB’s Daily Nexus, has signed a deal with CBS News.

Josh, who was formerly an anchor on ABC’s Good Morning America before leaving for NBC over a salary dispute, is going to be the lead anchor for CBSN, CBS News’ digital streaming news network, which launched in November 2014.

The move comes after Josh, 44, was poached by NBC Sports in 2014, but ended up leaving the Peacock Network after less than two years after they failed to offer him a prominent role.

“He will be the lead anchor for CBSN and will work across the digital network,” says one source. “It’s an exciting hire for the network, because they don’t have a lot of young make energetic talent coming up through the ranks.”

Josh, who was also a ESPN sports anchor, married WABC New York anchor Liz Cho in a low-key ceremony here last year, which I exclusively revealed here.

The music did much to sustain national morale during World War II, the pivotal event of the ‘40s.

With vintage costumes and uniforms, as well as popular hits such “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”, “Sing, Sing, Sing”, and “Tuxedo Junction”, the timeless melodies from the likes of The Andrews Sisters, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, and Artie Shaw, couldn’t fail to please.

Birthday Bashes Santa Barbara philanthropist Betty Stephens wasn’t satisfied with just one event to celebrate her 84th birthday, she had three!

The festivities kicked with off with an Amazons-only bash at her Hope Ranch estate, with the second event the core of the festive weekend with a Dixieland-themed bash at the tony La Cumbre Country Club, just a tiara’s toss or two from her home, with nearly 100 guests in western attire.

Just 24 hours later, at the same venue, the guests gathered for brunch, wrapping up the three-day beano.

Among the merry throng, partaking in the festive fun, quaffing the Veuve Clicquot, dining grandly and snaffling the canapés, were Henry and Dilling Yang, Mara Abboud, Peter Clark, Terry Ryken, Stan and Betty Hatch, Hannah-Beth Jackson, Eric and Nina Philips, Kristi Newton, Hiroko Benko, and Geoffrey and Joan Rutkowski.

Sound of Music Supporters of CAMA – the Community Arts and Music Association – got quite a treat with performances at both the Lobero and Granada.

Firstly Jordi Savall, an undoubted expert on historic music, playing a 17th-century seven-string bass viola and an 18th-century six-string viol – he founded the ensembles Hesperion XXI in 1974 and Le Concert des Nations in 1989 with Montserrat Figueras and has released 230 albums – performed at the Lobero with Frank McGuire on bodhran in the master series.

The intimate concert, playing an essentially Celtic program, featured such works as the Caledonia Set, The Donegal Set, and Irish Landscapes.

Mood Swings The 1930s and ‘40s were gloriously evoked when the show In The Mood, celebrating the Big Band era, returned to the Granada.

The large cast of talented singers and dancers, complete with the 13-piece band String of Pearls Orchestra, was as nostalgic and patriotic as it gets.

London-based Academy of St. Martin in the Fields shone with an eclectic international series program featuring works by Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, Schumann, and Beethoven.

Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony kicked off the show with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 8 in F Major wrapping the concert, with a delightful filling of violin concertos by Schumann and Tchaikovsky giving time for Bell to shine brilliantly.

Edition Addition Santa Barbara accountant and inveterate traveler Frank McGinity has updated his personal travelogue Get Off Your Street with a second edition.

“It’s a much better book now with a new cover and the addition of 15 more articles in its 222 pages with a lower price,” says Frank. “New trips include Molokai, Hawaii, the Mullin Auto Museum, and trips to Germany, Mexico, Lake Como, and Amsterdam.”

Future visits include London and a cruise to Copenhagen in the summer, and in December a tour of South Africa.

“Perhaps in five years, we’ll publish a third edition,” muses Frank.

Flower Power Philanthropist and socialite Anne Towbes, wife of Montecito Bank & Trust founder Mike Towbes, has always been a blooming nice lady, so it’s only appropriate that a flower has been named in her honor.

The bloom in question is a white phalaenopsis orchid, cultivated by Zuma Canyon Orchids in Malibu, which was presented to her at a ceremony, appropriately enough, at a gala

around $35,000 for the cause.

Anne, fetchingly attired in an ornately embroidered Oscar de la Renta jacket, joked that she was no shrinking violet any more, as she was presented with her orchid – which has been registered with London’s Royal Horticultural Society – by Sandra Tillisch Svoboda, president of Sansum and also past president of the American Orchid Society.

State Street Spin

by Erin Graffy de Garcia

Sir George Remembered

H

ow can I forget George Martin, legendary producer of The Beatles, when he came to town at this time six years ago to conduct the Santa Barbara Choral Society and orchestra in his world premiere of The Mission Chorales?

On the same show, State Street Ballet performed LoveLoveLove — a medley tribute to The Beatles for Valentine’s Day. My husband and I were among the featured ballroom dancers for the opening and met Sir George at that time.

Sir George has made his mark in 20th-century music as a performer, composer, arranger, and as one of the greatest record producers of all time, most famously the Beatles’ work. He played piano on a number of their tracks, but it was his introduction of strings and even brass in such songs as Eleanor Rigby, Yesterday, I am the Walrus, that broke the mold even for The Beatles’ iconoclastic sound.

So, Sir George conducted the Choral Society in Eleanor Rigby, which he arranged for choral and orchestra some 40 years ago. He also conducted his world premiere of Mission Chorales, originally a concept development for the film The Mission with Jeremy Irons, but never utilized.

Back in The Beatles’ heyday, George’s London neighbor was Brooks Firestone. As they have remained friends through the years, Firestone asked whatever became of his Mission music. One thing led to another, and Brooks coaxed Sir George out to Santa Barbara, after providing reviews and CDs of our longstanding choral group. And that’s how Sir George Martin had his Day in The Life... in Santa Barbara.

was interesting but also a challenge — they had to keep precisely on-pitch because halfway through, the entire band kicked in.

“You Inspire me” was a big swing song, showcasing the musical mettle of pianist Jeff Colella and the tenor sax sang along happily. Mancinci’s “Dreamsville” featured a kick-ass bass solo, and singer Berglund provided a beautiful vocal on Mandel’s “Shadow of Your Smile.

Montecito Whatchamacallit Mystery

Friend Gary loaned me this piece of historic trivia for our readers to puzzle over: a wooden-carved fork about 4 feet tall. The handle is carved with pineapple motif and painted. The tines are rather amateurishly marked “Montecito Valley Days: June July August 1923.” I find nothing about such an event(?) in David Myrick’s Montecito Volumes, nothing in the Los Angeles Times (I looked there because it searchable text; our two historic local papers are not yet digitized). Any readers out there want to weigh in on this one?

“The Dog Ate My Homework” Department

Speaking of the Jazz Society, Jonathan Atherton is the up and coming jazz pianist who wowed-thecrowd here earlier this year at the Santa Barbara Jazz Society. Hailing from New York City, he says there’s nothing quite like teaching piano to the privileged wealthy families on the Upper West Side. Example: Atherton, to his 8-year-old student: Did you practice this week?

Student: Not much, sorry.

Atherton: Why not?

Student: I had to go to the White House.

Well, 2016 has already been a busy year starting out with outstanding talent. Last month, we had singer Ginger Berglund, with Scott Whitfield, voice trombone. Roger Neuman on tenor sax, Jennifer Leitham on bass, drummer Kendall Kay, and pianist Jeff Colella. Their concert featured the Johnny Mandel songbook and a few other goodies.

Highlights included Sergio Mendes’s “Cinnamon And Clove”, which had a nice interplay between sax solo and vocals, and then a soaring trombone solo.

“Close Enough for Love” opened with an a capella counterpoint. This 17 – 24 March 2016

This year, rally organizers Monte Wilson and Diana expect 75 drivers and their “navigators” to once again traverse some 150 to 200 miles in a “scavenger hunt” to... well, during our interview, Diana warns that she could tell me the route but then she’d have to take me out, as the secret course will not be revealed until the day of the rally.

There are still 12 slots open for anyone wishing to join Monte, Diana, Michael Hammer, Dana Newquist, Robert and Gretchen Lieff, Peter Sperling, and the other 60-odd drivers. I was Richard Torin’s navigator last year; Richard drove his Mercedes Benz opal-green 500SL convertible and we blasted (and truth be told, sang along with) Madonna’s “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” at least a dozen times, along with an equal number of turns for Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline,” “Song Sung Blue,” and “I Am... I Said,” as we sped along the curving route; this year, I’ll be driving my own Audi A-5 Coupe, playing David Allan Coe’s “If That Ain’t Country,” and “You Never Even Called Me By My Name” as loud as the stereo will allow.

“It’s a two-day event for the drivers,” Diana further explains. There’s the Friday night party at a private

estate near Oprah Winfrey’s spread, the all-day Saturday rally, and the blowout Saturday night party at the Nesbitts, featuring the music of the Tearaways.

If you’d like to be a driver, the fee is $1,250 for driver and navigator. And, though there will be some fancy cars, including a number of Ferraris, “Any car will do. It’s fun to have a fun car,” Diana says, “but make sure it’s something you want to drive for a hundred fifty to two hundred miles.”

One of the rally’s main sponsors is the Petersen Museum, Diana tells me, adding that the DuPont Registry has also agreed to become a sponsor. “Caroline Harrah (she works for Morgan Stanley in downtown Santa Barbara) helped us with this one,” Diana notes. “She called cold, got hold of Mr. DuPont, and put the whole deal together,” Diana says, laughing. Ferrari Los Angeles in Westlake Village is also a sponsor.

The all-day rally starts at 9 am, includes six stops and lunch, and should finish by 3 pm. The following party at the Nesbitts kicks off at 5 pm.

If you are interested in the rally or simply attending the Saturday night party ($250 per person) featuring not only the British Invasion band the Tearaways, but also walking-around magicians, check out rally4kids.org or

call Kristi Newton at (805) 681-1315.

Recommended attire is extremely casual but dress warmly – it’s outside.

Savoring French Food

The French Network was determined to make a small financial contribution to SBCC and toward “French culture,” and French Network president Fred Sidon decided they should be doing something different. “For the first time ever,” he tells us, “The French Network will have a dinner at the John Dunn Gourmet Dining Room of SBCC (5 pm, Sunday, March 20), and the main course will be a cookoff. The head of the department will select three students ‘most likely to become French chefs’ and have them cook the same dish, each with his/her own twist.”

Sounds like an excellent plan to us.

The Network diners will vote for the one they like best. Judges will include Renato Moiso (Via Maestra’s owner-operator) and Michael Amador, Food and Beverage manager at La Cumbre Country Club. Winner will receive $250, second place $150, and $100 for third. Accompanying wines include a Cremant de Bourgogne. All for $48, which is likely less than you’d pay if you just went out to eat at your favorite restaurant.

Santa Barbara’s longtime French Network president Fred Sidon invites one and all to join him and his group at SBCC for good food and wine on Sunday, March 20

If you’d like to join this group of gourmands, go online to: frsidon@ impulse.net for more info.

Brooks Examines Transcendent Happiness

D

espite the crush of daily life and the human culture we live in, there are moments in life that pierce through that. These moments form the basis for why David Brooks, New York Times columnist, wrote the best-selling book The Road to Character. Brooks explored the journey to a deeper inner life, explaining why selflessness leads to greater happiness, before a sold-out audience of more than 700 people at the 11th annual Westmont President’s Breakfast on March 4.

He told a story about a sunny, summer evening when he had pulled up to his home in Maryland. He could see his three children, ages 12, 9 and 4, playing ball in the backyard. “They were laughing and tumbling all over each other and having the perfect time,” he said. “I was confronted with this tableau of family happiness. And I remember I just sat there in the driveway thinking I was filled with gratitude that I hadn’t earned.

“We all have these moments where you illuminate a higher joy, higher than anything you get at the workplace, and with that comes a summons: you’d like to feel worthy of such moments.”

Brooks said occasionally he will encounter people, such as the Dalai Lama, who radiate that type of joy and God’s grace. “I have achieved more in my career than I ever could have imagined,” he says, “but I haven’t achieved that. How do I get that?”

Brooks explained that there are four levels of happiness: material pleasure (good food and nice clothes), ego (being better than others), generativity (giving back to our communities), and transcendence (an awareness of one’s place in the cosmic order, a feeling of love that goes beyond the physical realm, truth, justice, goodness, and beauty).

“We all find it easy to get to the first levels of happiness,” he said, “but getting to level three and four takes a little work. And it takes the kind of education that people get at Westmont.”

Quoting authors and telling anecdotes from saints and heroes, Brooks described a process of making commitments and dedicating lives for bigger things. “You can think of us as thinking creatures, as economic creatures, but love is really at the center,” he said. “And one of the things that I really appreciate about Westmont College, and Christian colleges in general, is some of the schools where I 17 – 24 March 2016

Bach, is a senior at Southern California Christian Academy. He has performed with the Los Angeles Youth Orchestra, the Culver City High School orchestra, First Baptist Culver City String Quartet and various ensembles through the Los Angeles Junior Chamber Music program.

“All six finalists are marvelous young musicians and each performed beautifully,” Shasberger said.

“Everyone in attendance was blessed by the grace and expressiveness of the performances. We hope these six musicians will continue performing together at Westmont, forming lifelong friendships in their musical journey.”

teach at, some of the great schools, they treat the head as the sole source of our identity and the only thing that needs to be cultivated, and the heart and the soul are behind the curtain.

They think that is not our domain. At a place like Westmont, where you can talk about the eulogy virtues as well as resume virtues, where you can not only educate the heart with the liberal arts and the soul with God’s calling and the mind with information.”

The Westmont Foundation and local businesses sponsor the President’s Breakfast to promote discussion of significant issues in the community.

This year’s lead sponsor is Union Bank. Gold sponsors include Axia Holdings, Chronicle Family Offices, Davies, Anna and David Grotenhuis, Hub International, La Arcada, Carl and Jo Lindros, Lindsay and Laurie Parton, Matt Construction, Santa Barbara Capital, Sharol and Wayne Siemens, and V3 Corporation.

Culver City Cellist Wins Cellist William Ellzey of Culver City earned top honors at the fourth annual Music Guild Competition, where six high school seniors competed for Westmont music scholarships March 5. Ellzey won the Guild Scholarship, receiving up to $10,000 in annual music scholarship funds (up to $40,000 over four years) to study at Westmont. Significant music scholarships were given to the other contestants: flutist Marissa Condie of Santa Barbara, cellist Marlena Gonzalez of Los Angeles, soprano Nyajima Tut of Minneapolis, pianist Christina Yang of Diamond Bar, and oboist Bethany Yew of San Marino.

Ellzey, who performed “Concerto in D minor” by Édouard Lalo and “Cello Suite No. 1” by Johann Sebastian

Jupiter returns to the night sky for stargazers at this month’s free public viewing of the stars with Westmont’s powerful Keck Telescope on Friday, March 18, beginning at 7:30 pm and lasting several hours at the Westmont Observatory. In case of inclement or overcast weather, call the Telescope Viewing Hotline at (805) 565-6272 and check the Westmont website to see if the viewing has been canceled.

“At long last, Jupiter will be high in the sky during viewing time,” says Tom Whittemore, Westmont physics instructor. “If the seeing is good, we should be able bring out some of

Cole Construction

the details in the surface structure of Jupiter.”

Earlier in the evening, Whittemore will point the college’s 8-inch refractor telescope at the 11-day-old moon.

“The moon will lie very high in the sky in the early evening,” he says.

“If the seeing is particularly good, we should be able to make out considerable detail in the large crater, Copernicus. Particularly interesting will be the terracing on the crater’s walls, as well as the mountain peaks in the middle of Copernicus. These peaks were left behind as the result of a large impact in the early history of the moon. Some of the ray structure surrounding the crater, Tycho, should also be evident.”

Finally, the viewing will include several of the brighter open clusters near the top of the sky, such as Messier 35 in Gemini, and Messiers 36, 37, and 38, a wonderful trio of open clusters in Auriga, the Charioteer.

The observatory opens its doors to the public every third Friday of the month in conjunction with the Santa Barbara Astronomical Unit, whose members bring their own telescopes to Westmont for the public. The Keck Telescope is housed in the observatory between Russell Carr Field and the track and field/soccer complex.

Free parking is available near the baseball field.

THURSDAY, MARCH 17 Early Eire Eve Events – Two annual Santa Barbara St. Patrick’s Day traditions take place less than two blocks away this afternoon with the same starting time of 5:30 pm. The Santa Barbara Independent’s ninth annual St. Patrick’s Day Stroll brings together employees and friends of the weekly newspaper with Irish and other community members for a leisurely march down State Street (or rather the sidewalk) toward Blush and other watering holes six blocks away. The Pipe and Drums Corps leads the way from outside the Indy offices at 122 W. Figueroa, and costumes and green attire are encouraged. Meanwhile, SOhO hosts the Irish-Mexican-Pirate sounds of The Worried Lads, one of Spencer Barnitz’s offshoots from his longtime Santa Barbara band Spencer the Gardener. The all-ages show (kids under 12 are even free) takes place at the upstairs restaurant/music club at 1221 State Street, in Victoria Court. Admission is $5. INFO: Indy: 965-5205 or www.independent.com SOhO: 962-7776 or www.sohosb. com SATURDAY, MARCH 19 French-flavored Musical Fare – Michael Webster’s arrangement of Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) interpreted by flutist Andrea Di Maggio, clarinetist Joanne Kim, and pianist Neil Di Maggio opens this afternoon’s biweekly Santa Barbara Music Club concert. Pianist Donna Massello-Chiacos then offers her

take on five compositions, one each

by French composers Debussy, Erik Satie, Jean Philllipe Rameau, Maurice Ravel, and Jacques Ibert. The program concludes with Beethoven’s Sonata No. 8 in G major, Op. 30, No. 3, performed by violinist Han Soo Kim and pianist Neil Di Maggio, who will delight in the sonata’s cheerful disposition that eloquently disguises the inner struggles faced by its creator who had become aware he was growing deaf.

Anapamu St. COST: free INFO: www.sbmusicclub.org MONDAY, MARCH 21 Revels’ Pub Sing – Santa Barbara Revels – the folks who put on the community-centered Christmas show at the Lobero every December – invite one and all to welcome the change of seasons with music-making and merriment.

FRIDAY, MARCH 18 Bridges to Heaven – Two years ago, Leon Bridges was working as a dishwasher and playing open-mics around his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, before he got signed by Columbia Records on the strength of his self-uploaded SoundCloud recordings. Last year at this time, his first single, “Lisa Sawyer”, a rich ballad written about his mother, was released, and Bridges appeared at the South by Southwest Festival, roughly 200 miles south of Fort Worth, and his career began a rapid ascension. Now, just nine months since the retro soul singer-songwriterguitarist artist who has drawn comparisons to R&B legends Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, and early Marvin Gaye released his debut album and first hit, both titled Coming Home, Bridges has broken through with his devoted rendition of mid-’60s soul, complete, as some have noted, with reverb, church organ, doo-wop background vocals, and accenting horns. The 26-year-old sensation, born 25 years after the music’s heyday, makes his Santa Barbara debut at the Arlington Theatre tonight.

FRIDAY, MARCH 18 Easter Messiah – Over the decades, Handel’s Messiah has become a Christmas season staple, but it turns out that the first performance of the great oratorio was staged in April 1742 in conjunction with Easter. As this spring marks the beginning of the 275th anniversary year of the monumental and much-beloved devotional work, the Santa Barbara Choral Society and Orchestra are offering their “Messiah” as a pre-Easter blessing right here in Montecito at the intimate and acoustically warm Hahn Hall. Fittingly, the singers will be augmented by a quartet of soloists, all of whom are Music Academy of the West (MAW) Summer Festival alumni who were chosen by the legendary mezzo and MAW voice program chair Marilyn Horne: soprano Dru Daniels, mezzo Laurel Semerdjian, tenor Christopher Yoon, and bass DeAndre Simmons. Conducted by Choral Society music director JoAnne Wasserman, the performance – in keeping with the season, will feature not only the full Part I (the Nativity) but also selections from the more rarely performed Parts II and III (covering the Life, Works, Passion, and Resurrection of Jesus). WHEN: 7 tonight & tomorrow WHERE: Hahn Hall, Music Academy of the West campus, 1070 Fairway Road COST: $35 general admission, $10 students 7-17 with adult INFO: 965-6577 or www.sbchoral.org

TUESDAY, MARCH 22 Cros and Effect – Singer-songwriter and rock star David Crosby returns to the city where he spent his formative years – the ones just prior to his beginnings as a one of the progenitors of the California folkrock sound – for a concert as part of a solo acoustic tour of the West Coast. Crosby, a two-time member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (he was inducted with both The Byrds and the still-touring Crosby, Stills & Nash), has also enjoyed a career as a solo artist spanning from 1971’s If Only I Could Remember My Name to 2014’s Croz. The concert will cover moments from his full career in all of the settings, as the now-Santa Ynez resident who turns 75 in August goes it alone on stage. “This is about the songs. The tale telling,” Crosby noted on his website. “Taking you on a voyage to my world for a moment.”

SATURDAY, MARCH 19 Jewish Film Festival – The mini-fest celebrating films that examine the breadth of Jewish experience from a variety of perspectives and genres ranging from documentary to comedy to drama returns after a two-year hiatus. The festival spans a long weekend and takes place at both the New Vic Theatre downtown and the Riviera a couple of miles away. Opening night brings the documentary East/West Jerusalem, which follows singer-songwriter David Broza as he records a new album uniting American, Palestinian, and Israeli musicians in a bid to demonstrate the idea of bringing peace through the arts. The night film also serves as a preview to a weekend visit from Broza next month, when he will conduct a workshop and perform in concert at the Lobero Theater. Welcome to the Kutsher’s, a return to the heyday of summer in the Catskills highlighted by comedian Freddie Roman’s funny routine, screens for free on Monday morning. Among the other offerings are Dough, a dramedy about a British Orthodox Jewish baker and a young Muslim on the cusp of taking a wrong direction who discover that they “knead” each other; Manpower, in which four different families intersect as they go about defining what it means to be an Israeli in contemporary Israel; Hill Start, a light comedy that shows that one doesn’t need to go beyond family and friends to learn the meaning of love; and A Tale of Love and Darkness, actress Natalie Portman’s adaptation of Amos Oz’s memoir in which she also directs and stars as his tragic mother, which is the closingnight film and screens with the the Academy Award nominated short Ave Maria.

Using perspective and reflections drawn from over three decades of practice, Dr. Byock’s presentation explores often untapped opportunities for individuals and families for living fully, meaningfully – even joyfully – through these difficult end-of-life periods. Dr. Byock, who has been a guest on 60 Minutes, Talk of the Nation, and NPR’s All Things Considered, is making a timely visit as recent Medicare code changes allow physicians to be reimbursed by Medicare for spending up to an hour on advanced-care planning visits. “We must move past our cultural aversion to talking about dying and acknowledge the fact of mortality once and for all,” Dr. Byock has said. “In so doing, we can live more emotionally authentic and healthier lives.” His visit is sponsored by The Alliance for Living and Dying Well in partnership with Cottage Health, Hospice of Santa Barbara, Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care Foundation, and the Santa Barbara Foundation.

A Jazz-Been and Criminal Minds

T

he upcoming biopic Miles Ahead, which isn’t far down the pike despite its title, showcases late jazz icon Miles Davis in the form of Don Cheadle – who stands before and behind the cameras – with Ewan McGregor and Michael Stuhlbarg, the latter of whom has become one of our most-valuable supporting actors, thanks to recent efforts in Trumbo, Steve Jobs, and Pawn Sacrifice.

Mid-April signals the liberation of Criminal, involving a CIA agent and (surprise, surprise) a global terrorist; the testosterone-choked cast of Kevin Costner, Ryan Reynolds, and Gary Oldman hints of strong prospects – but let’s hope unsung director Ariel Vromen doesn’t micro-manage like a prison warden.

Until those arrive, I must examine a ludicrous excuse for a comedy and the year’s best mainstream movie:

Sexual Siblings

The Brothers Grimsby’s familial comrades – a foolish soccer hooligan (Sacha Baron Cohen) and a secret-agent assassin (Mark Strong) – join forces after almost three decades apart, to help prevent a terror attack plotted by a world “health” specialist who isn’t what she appears. All but going to waste are the female peripheral players: Rebel Wilson as the hero’s wife, Isla Fisher (Cohen’s off-screen spouse), and a virtually airbrushed Penelope Cruz as the virus-spreading phony.

As always, Cohen wears multiple hats – co-star, co-writer, co-producer, all-around menace to society – and, as usual, he doesn’t know when to limit the lewd and crude depravity. One shameless sequence focusing on mating elephants actually pits both co-stars in the belly of the beast. (There will be no shortage of genitals, orifices, and bodily fluids.) If director Louis Leterrier was striving to trump his Incredible Hulk, he should’ve exerted more authority and damage-control; as it stands, the filmmaker deserves buckets of blame for Grimsby’s grim presentation. Most dispiriting isn’t the fact that normally refined Strong (The Imitation Game) attempted to break out of his conventional mold, but that he stooped so low in doing so.

House of Horrors

Most of the tense, well-crafted 10 Cloverfield Lane takes place in a concrete shelter – specifically the home of a “Doomsday” prepper and Navy veteran personified by John Goodman (in the same foreboding mode he embodied in O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Barton Fink). He claims to have rescued a car-crash victim (credible Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and proceeds to “protect” her from an alleged apocalypse outside – but it’s evident the lady is being held hostage; a similar situation involves their bunker buddy (personable John Gallagher, Jr.) who has one arm in a cast.

Director Dan Trachtenberg and his trio of scripters have carved out an eerie pocket of small-town Americana, within a suspense-filled setup that belies its confined space. Most everything is tightly wound and cohesive until the finale, which is “out there” in every sense of the phrase.

Authors Luncheon in the Books for April

I

n 2019, CALM will celebrate its 50th anniversary, marking half a century since founder Claire Miles began her work to prevent child abuse in Santa Barbara. But CALM Auxiliary has a pretty big milestone of its own coming up next month. The organization’s support arm has been putting on its Celebrity Authors’ Luncheon since 1987, meaning the event on Saturday, April 2, will be the 30th time the ladies have hosted famous and up-and-coming writers as a fundraiser for CALM. Over the last three decades, the luncheon has brought many famous writers to town, including plenty of celebrities who made their name in other fields before turning to the page to write about their lives. Marcia Clark, Tim Conway, Mariel Hemingway, and Peter Falk are just a few of the big names that have graced the stage to be interviewed in support of CALM’s mission to end the cycle of violence in the home, and treat children and families who have suffered from violence

and abuse.

The money goes toward forwarding CALM’s services in interrupting the cycle by working with at-risk mothers even before their babies are born, explained CALM development director Laurie Goodman. “We help them build strong attachments with their babies, and develop good parenting skills, which are both big protective factors for children.”

Even though book sales may have fallen through the floor in the Kindle years, the luncheon is still quite pop-

ular – and the organization’s biggest fundraiser of the year.

“When it started out, there were just a couple of hundred people who came,” noted Carolyn Gillio, who with Becky Cohn has co-chaired the event for the last five years, having taken over for founder Sharon Bifano.

“We’ve had as many as 825 attend, which was the year Maria Shriver was interviewed. Now, we usually get around 600, a core audience of people who love to read.”

CALM’s three featured authors for this year ’s event, which will once again be held at The Fess Parker DoubleTree Resort, are Gregg Hurwitz, Frances Schultz, and Meg Waite Clayton. Andrew Firestone serves as emcee, while Hank Phillippi Ryan, an author who was interviewed at last year’s luncheon, returns to the stage alongside Tom Weitzel to interview the trio. Hurwitz, a New York Times bestselling author of 15 thrillers, is currently adapting his own latest novel, Orphan X, into a feature film with Bradley Cooper set to star.

A dozen more local writers will also be on hand to sign copies of their books and interact with guests in a more informal setting.

“To hear these authors speak is the cherry on top of reading their great books,” said Gillio, who has been involved in the luncheon since its founding. “They really entertain the audience. A lot of writers don’t do well in front of audiences, which is

maybe why they became writers. But everyone we’ve ever had has been very entertaining. That’s what makes the event so special. It’s pure fun.”

Book sales and signing begin at 10 am on Saturday, April 2, and lunch will be served at 11:45, with the author interviews slated for an hour later.

Tickets cost $150. Call 969-5590 or visit www.calm4kids.org/events/celebri ty-authors-luncheon.

Fork & Cork Moves Forward

Have you heard? The Fork & Cork Classic, Foodbank of Santa Barbara County’s annual wine-and-dine fundraiser, has both a new date and a new location. Previously held in the early summer, the massive benefit this year will take place on Sunday, April 10, in early spring, to take advantage of the cooler temperatures and before people start heading out of town on vacation, and in advance of many of the area’s other similar events.

The 3rd annual Fork & Cork has also decamped from the Montecito Country Club – the setting for Taste of the Town’s similarly sumptuous feast before Foodbank stepped in to create the new classic event when that benefit departed – in favor of the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club on the Montecito/Summerland side of Carpinteria.

Last year, Fork & Cork raised more than $58,000, with 100 percent of the proceeds staying local in support of Foodbank’s 300 nonprofit partners.

Tickets range from $50 (general admission, designated driver) to $145 (day-of VIP admission), and are available on the website www.forkand corkclassic.org, which also lists all the food and wine vendors.

This Week: Audubon Audibles

A Sip, a Stroke, a Songbird, which takes place this Thursday, March 24, at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, is an evening of art and wine... and painting. Guests will enjoy wine from The Brander Vineyard paired with chocolates while an art instructor from The Painted Cabernet – the urban studio with locations in downtown Santa Barbara and Oxnard – offers step-by-step guidance through the creation of your own Audubon masterpiece. But first find your artistic inspiration on a private tour of the museum’s Peggy Maximus Gallery exhibit of Audubon’s songbirds. No painting experience necessary, as all adults (21 and over) will walk away with a finished piece. The $75 tickets include one glass of wine and chocolates.

within our district first, then we worry about neighboring districts,” he said.

The Fire District currently responds to about 2,000 calls a year, and has a staff of 33 employees, five of whom are administrative staff members. “We have a good department, but our facilities are inadequate and it’s time to fix that,” Rampton said.

The next step: the District will do more public outreach via surveys and meetings to be included in the study, which will be reviewed by the board later this year, when it’s likely a committee to look into the Summerland Station relocation will be formed.

groups of physicians who have invited her to meetings at all hours of the day and night – and I mean meetings before seven am and going until after nine pm, as the doctors are busy when

most volunteers meet,” Dr. Ransohoff went on.

While under Vicki’s leadership, Sansum merged with the Cancer Center, built a new campus, and implemented a new electronic medical record system; all the while Vicki continued her work with the Cancer Foundation, and Santa Barbara Scholarship Foundation, which awarded more than $8.5 million in scholarships to 2,900 local students this past year in support of their post-secondary educational pursuits.

“The impact of volunteerism in Santa Barbara is really overwhelming!” Vicki says. “Can you imagine

how different our hometown would be if we had to rely solely upon government and private businesses to meet our community’s needs? Where would we turn for the outstanding programs and services that are provided by the hundreds of nonprofit agencies in Santa Barbara and by the thousands of volunteers and philanthropists who give generously of their time and treasure?”

Vicki, who hails from Walla Walla, Washington, and earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Washington State University and a master’s degree

Vicki Hazard Named Woman of the Year

Last week Montecito resident Vicki Hazard was named Woman of the Year during the Santa Barbara Foundation’s annual celebration of volunteerism at the Coral Casino. With more than three decades of public service in volunteer leadership roles, Hazard was recognized as giving generously of her time and expertise to numerous local organizations, including Sansum Clinic, the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara with Sansum Clinic, the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara, and the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara.

“It has been and continues to be a wonderful journey,” Vicki said about her volunteerism.

Vicki’s work with Sansum Clinic began in 2004, when after living in Santa Barbara less than a year, she volunteered her spare time to the organization. Three years later, she was asked to be board chair, a position she’s held ever since. “I recall talking to Vicki on the phone in my kitchen one Friday after a meeting and asking her if she would be the board chair,” said Dr. Kurt Ransohoff, president, CEO and medical director of Sansum Clinic, recalling Vicki’s response. “‘Things seem pretty stable at the Clinic and the term will only be two years, so I don’t think it will be too much work,’” he laughed. “That turned out to be a spectacular misrepresentation of the next eight years. Sorry, Vicki,” he said.

Dr. Ransohoff explained Vicki’s time as board chair has been anything less than stable, given changes in the American healthcare system and ObamaCare. “Sansum and Cottage Hospital have tried to merge – twice – in the last eight years, including a multi-year dialogue with the Federal Trade Commission. Along the way, Vicki has become one of, if not the, most knowledgeable people in Santa Barbara about models of healthcare delivery. She knows more about some of these things than the people voting on them! She has earned the trust of 17 – 24 March 2016

in accounting and finance from the American University in Washington, D.C., says it is her life’s work to give back to the social sector and help those less fortunate than she. Throughout her career, she has worked in hospitality, marketing and communications, and accounting. She is married to our MJ associate editor, Bob Hazard, and has five stepchildren.

Vicki says she has a support system with great friends, some of whom go walking with her at 5:30 each morning around Montecito. “When Vicki gets home from her volunteer gigs, she can find out what calming issues Bob has been writing about so she can have some rest and shelter from complicated issues,” Dr. Ransohoff jokingly told the audience. “Then Bob likely tells her about his latest article on water policy in Montecito, everything good and bad about left-side freeway onramps, and the Miramar Hotel,” he continued.

The Man and Woman of the Year awards are sponsored by the Santa Barbara Foundation. Vicki was nominated for The Woman of the Year Award by colleagues from three organizations: Sansum Clinic, the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara, and the Santa Barbara Scholarship Foundation. Ed Birch was the recipient of the Man of the Year Award. He, too, has provided decades of service to many SB organizations, including Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy, UC Santa Barbara Foundation, Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics, Music Academy of the West, Child Abuse Listening & Mediation, and others.

“As I look out over this room, I see the faces of many past recipients of this award, men and women who have made enormous contributions to our community’s betterment. There are literally hundreds of community leaders here today whose public service is also worthy of special rec-

ognition. I am thankful and humbled to join Ed Birch as this year’s spokespersons for volunteerism, but I would really like to share this honor with all of you,” Vicki said in her acceptance speech, adding that she hopes others will be inspired to dedicate their time and skills to the non-profit community.

MUS Happenings

Earlier this month, Montecito Union School sixth graders held a Student Activism Night on campus, a culmination of a months-long project which included surveying the Montecito community about current topics.

“Each student researched a current or controversial issue and created an activist action plan based off their research. Ultimately, students will see they can inspire change in our world both locally and globally,” said Danielle Weill, the students’ teacher.

The project entailed the students researching a topic that was important to them, creating questions about their topic, and writing an informational piece about it. A major portion of the project was polling the community to gain broader perspectives and opinions; many students went door to door throughout Montecito to gain answers to the questions that they formulated. The students then analyzed and interpreted the data, and created a website on which to present their findings, in addition to presenting it during the event last week.

Various topics included keeping killer whales in captivity, animal testing, mental illness, social media, school uniforms, hover boards, animal poaching, homeschooling, vaccinations, self-driving cars, wildlife protection, Syrian refugees, college athletics, cell phone safety, puppy mills, fossil fuels, and other important issues.

The sixth graders aren’t the only ones taking on important lessons; Mr. Mark D’Alfonso’s fourth-grade class has “adopted” the oldest Pearl Harbor survivor, Ray Chavez, who celebrated his 104th birthday on March 10.

Mr. D’Alfonso first heard about Mr. Chavez when his instructional assistant, Sue Thompson, told him about her son, Sean Thompson, who works with Chavez as his personal trainer in San Diego. Being a fan of history and baseball, Mr. D’Alfonso was interested in Chavez’s story because Chavez was a Pearl Harbor and WWII survivor.

Amidst the full fourth-grade curriculum schedule, some time was carved out to teach D’Alfonso’s class some history about the Pearl Harbor attack and WWII, Mrs. Thompson told us.

The students were also introduced to Chavez on a personal level, via various internet interviews and video clips.

In December, D’Alfonso’s class sent Chavez a large hand-made card with signatures and sentiments from the students and some staff members to thank him for his service, as December 7 was the 74th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, which launched the U.S. into WWII. Chavez was invited to Pearl Harbor as an honorary attendee of the commemorative event.

He also hopes to attend the 75th commemorative this year, Mrs. Thompson explained.

D’Alfonso’s class sent another large handmade card to Chavez for his upcoming birthday. Also, the students have formulated numerous questions to ask Chavez about his life and experiences, in hopes of learning more about him.

Montecito Planning Commission

Next week, Montecito Planning Commission (MPC) will hear from County staff regarding adoption of

a Limited Update to the Montecito Architectural Guidelines and Development Standards, which apply to all new development and redevelopment in the Montecito Community Plan area, including those portions that are located within the Coastal Zone.

The MPC will be asked to consider making recommendations to the SB Board of Supervisors regarding adoption of the revised material, which includes a resolution to amend guidelines that address basements, net floor area, and retaining walls, and make other minor corrections and language revisions that do not materially change the existing regulations, and serve only to clarify or correct existing language.

“One key change being proposed has to do with floor areas, and incorporating attached accessory structures and basements into floor area guidelines,” said planner Julie Harris, who is overseeing the update. The guidelines are different than zoning regulations, Harris said. Another part of the update includes amending an ordinance related to building heights of hillside development, changing the maximum height from 32 feet to 28 feet.

The staff report and other project materials, including the proposed amendments to the Montecito Architectural Guidelines and Development Standards, will be available later this week at www.sbcountyplanning.org.

The Montecito Planning Commission hearing begins at 9 am at 123 East Anapamu Street, 1st floor, on Wednesday, March 23. Public input is encouraged, and anyone interested is invited to appear and speak in support of or in opposition to the project.

For more information, contact project manager Julie Harris at jharris@ co.santa-barbara.ca.us or (805) 5683543.
