LAND USE & PLANNING

ADUs Likely to Boost Real Estate Prices

L

ast September, California governor Jerry Brown signed three laws (Assembly Bill 2299, Senate Bill 1069 and Assembly Bill 2406) making it easier for homeowners to add an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) effective January 1, 2017. The definition of an ADU is “An attached or detached residential dwelling unit, which provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons. It shall include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation facilities on the same parcel as the single-family dwelling is situated.” The term ADU replaces such popular nomenclature as “Granny Flats,” second units, in-law units, or secondary dwelling units.

The intent of this legislation is to increase the supply of affordable rental housing in California by making it easier to create ADUs, particularly on sites near public transportation. There is now a possibility for two legal residences on every home parcel in the state. All City and County ordinances are overturned, awaiting a rewrite of ordinances to conform to the state law. Anyone can now build a rental unit regardless of the size of the lot. The state wants to make it impossible for local jurisdictions to prevent ADU creation.

The new laws are intended to limit the ability of local governments to restrict ADUs by requiring that local governments adopt an ADU ordinance that is consistent with the new state ordinance. Failure to do so makes the defining ordinance the state law. The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors may discuss possible changes to their existing County planning ordinance as early as June 7, 2017, to comply with state law.

ADUs can include efficiency units, modular homes, and manufactured homes, but not campers or mobile homes. This could create a huge market for environmentally friendly backyard homes, such as pre-fabricated drop-in ADU prototypes being developed by both Airbnb and Google.

Homeowners benefit from cash flow from renters, a separate space for home

Villa Santa Lucia

O

scar winner Jeff Bridges has just sold his Montecito estate for $15.925 million, which might not seem like a bargain, but two years ago he had the property listed for sale for $29.5 million.

The Tuscan-style five bedroom, five-bathroom 9,535-sq.-ft. home, Villa Santa Lucia, on 19.5 acres the 67-yearold actor shared with his wife, Susan Geston, was designed by the late Barry Berkus and completed in 1988.

The property formerly belonged to Grammy-winning Montecito rocker Kenny Loggins who sold it for just under $7 million in 1994. It boasts a vineyard, an orchid greenhouse, a recording studio, and a 1,823-sq.-ft. guest house.

Uber realtor Suzanne Perkins of Sotheby’s international Realty completed the sale.

Two Very Special Events

F

or decades, the Montecito Association (MA) has been dedicated to the preservation, protection, and enhancement of the semi-rural residential character of our beloved community. We look forward to working with community members and sharing our mission at our two signature special events, the Village Fourth and Beautification Day. Summer will be here before we know it and with it comes our Village Fourth celebration. This tradition began more than 20 years ago, when Diane Pannkuk and Dana Newquist had a vision for an old-fashioned 4th of July celebration. In partnership with the Montecito Association and the Montecito Community Foundation, they created our special small-town parade and festival, and it has been going strong ever since.

This year will be no exception, and our committee is working to honor that legacy and mix it up a little this year with some new features. The parade remains the cornerstone of the event, and we look forward to highlighting exotic vehicles, children’s groups, community leaders, and more. We will continue the tradition of honoring a grand marshal – look for that announcement sometime in June. Past honorees include Dana Newquist, fire chief Ron McClain, park ranger Doug Norton, and comic Jonathan Winters.

Parade sign-ups have already begun! Applications are on the Montecito Association website at www.montecitoassociation.org or at the MA office next to the library.

T-shirt sales will begin in early June, and this year we will also offer advanced sales on lunch tickets to streamline your park experience.

Watch for our local student sales teams in the Upper Village on the Green and at Vons. This year’s T-shirt was designed by local artist Christy Venable, and she has once again created a beautiful piece of wearable art.

The festival in Lower Manning Park will feature the Brian Titus Trio, a pie-baking contest, face-painting, games (including the famous Tug of War between Cold Spring and MUS), hot dogs, hamburgers, wine, and beer. Our caterer is Feast and Fest (formerly SBBBQ, our longtime partner). We’ll have water stations with free, cold water available too; bring your reusable bottles.

The day will begin, as it always

has, with a wonderful pancake breakfast at the Fire Station, followed by the “world’s shortest parade” and finish with the festival in the park.

Please mark your calendar and bring the whole family. Tuesday, July 4.

As the year winds down, the Montecito Association presents its second big event of the year: Beautification Day. It’s a wonderful occasion to celebrate the natural and architectural beauty of our community. The day begins with a complimentary breakfast in the upper village, and attendees can visit with several local agencies and nonprofits highlighting the good work they do to keep our community healthy and beautiful. We rely on a small army of volunteers of all ages to fan out across Montecito neighborhoods to pick up trash and recyclables.

Everyone meets back up at the park, where we provide a wonderful lunch (that usually includes Montecito Fire Department’s universally renowned Firehouse Chili, served up by our men and women firefighters) and present Beautification Day awards in several categories. The entire event, including the volunteer T-shirts, is sponsored by local businesses and neighbors. It’s a very special tradition that reminds us of how unique and beautiful our community is. Save the date: Saturday, November 4.

The Montecito Association relies on your support and participation to continue producing these events and to work throughout the year on behalf of the community. We are continuing to enhance our communications and outreach efforts to bring you the latest news about issues that matter to you. We are so grateful to the many dedicated volunteers, committee members, association members, and business owners who make our work possible. If you are a Montecito Association member, thank you. If you’re not, we would love to have you join us. Learn more at our website, follow us on Facebook, or attend one of our meetings. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Kathi King Trish Davis Mindy Denson (Village Fourth co-chairs) Montecito (Editor’s note: We all look forward to the Montecito Association Village Fourth Parade & Celebration every July 4th. There have been 21 grand marshals who’ve headed up our big little parade, so

I know you couldn’t mention all of them, but one name that we’d like to include is that of James Buckley (that’s me), founder of Montecito Journal. He was the 2005 grand marshal and “Citizen Of The Year” on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of this paper. Just thought people, especially those who’ve moved to Montecito since then, would like to know. – J.B.)

Good-Bye, Mike

What a fabulous article Erin Graffy wrote for the Montecito Journal! (“Good-Bye Mike”, MJ #23/20). There were so many amazing details about his business career, some of which were new to me. (Talk about a humble man who rarely talked about himself!)

Besides being so perfectly factual, it was told with great empathy and sensitivity. The photos were the perfect touch, along with the inset blocks about the career highlights and honors.

Thank you for shining such a deserved bright light on such an amazing man…

With much gratitude and love, Anne Towbes Montecito

On Saying Good-bye

Thank you for your tribute to the passing of MIchael Towbes. Mike will remain a vital part of Santa Barbara’s history.

Fred Hayward Montecito (Editor’s note: Yes, he will, Fred.

Michael Towbes’s memory will be with us for a long, long time. His kind appears only once in a generation, if that. – J.B.)

Auxiliary Dwellings Needed

The Montecito Planning Commission (MPC) is threading the needle in attempting to write an ordinance that conforms both to the new statewide law and the Montecito Community Plan. However, the intent of the new law and our community plan are somewhat at odds. I believe that times have changed significantly since 1992, when our community plan was first written (subsequently updated in 1995), and that it is in desperate need of being updated.

Montecito’s complex review process and overlapping restrictions have hampered the provision of multigenerational housing, except for the very rich. It has priced growing families such as mine, along with service workers and students, out of our rental and ownership markets.

As a community, we can and should do better.

I believe we need to be more outward-looking and empathic to the needs of those who are of more modest means.

The State’s ADU (Auxiliary Dwelling Units) legislation allows a detached dwelling unit to be a maximum of 1,200 sq ft. The State had a basis for arriving at 1,200 sq ft; it is the size of a small family dwelling unit (as opposed to a guest house). The Montecito Planning Commission has decided to drill down the state standard of 1,200 sq ft to a maximum of 1,000 sq ft on properties of more than an acre and 800 sq ft on a one-acre lot.

I believe this is an ill-conceived overreach by our planning commission.

ast week, Lucky’s Steakhouse on Coast Village Road announced its new lunch service, offering lighter fare during the weekdays from 11 am to 2 pm. “It’s a long time coming, as our clientele has been asking for lunch for awhile,” said Larry Nobles, Lucky’s maître d’ and wine director, who is helping oversee the new restaurant hours.

The popular eatery, owned by Gene Montesano, Herb Simon, and Jimmy Argyropoulos, is open every night for dinner, and a few years ago, began brunch service on the weekends (9 am to 3 pm). “Lucky’s is evolving into its next phase,” Nobles said. The lunch menu offers small plates and appetizers, sandwiches (including a burger, Reuben, meatball sub, Maine lobster roll, and more), main course salads, and entrées including tacos, fried chicken, chicken parmesan, fresh fish, and more.

“The pulled pork sandwich is a stand-out,” Nobles said, adding that

Dr. Tom Rook Announces Retirement I opened my first chiropractic clinic April 1, 1977 on Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica, California. It is now forty years later and I will be closing my current clinic, The Rook Family Tree Chiropractic Clinic “Helping to Grow Healthy Families” on Independence Day 2017. I have loved every minute of it and would do it all over again if given the choice to turn back time.

I encourage our patients to come by the clinic for their farewell adjustments. All health and financial information of patients will be properly protected and passed on to our referral of fine local Chiropractors.  REMEMBER  All healing comes from the Innate Intelligence within. The body knows how to be well and gravitates to balance and homeostasis. It is Natural Law that water flows downhill, that night is followed by day and that healing currents glow when allowed to flow.

It has always been, is now and forever will be.

Yours in Health and Wealth, Thomas W Rook D.C.

he El Paseo restaurant turned Cuban with a “Havana Nights”themed party given by the Cold Spring School Foundation. Having just returned from Cuba, I should be an expert. Right?

Guys pulled out their pork pie hats, which are de rigueur on that island along with the 1950s cars. No room for cars, but the band played their island music during cocktail hour. The gals were colorful in floral prints and flowers in their hair. These parents were having a grand time and the buffet dinner was delicious. The El Paseo was the perfect venue.

This event is the big fundraiser of the year. As superintendent/principal Tricia Price said, “The proceeds from tonight’s event help support Cold Spring School’s outstanding programs in art, library, music, physical education, and technology.” Without this foundation’s hard work, the kids would have none of these programs.

The cost is about $1,200 per child. This year, the co-presidents are Brett and

Jennie Grube. They orchestrated a fall campaign and have worked all year to keep the group on target. Tammy and Robert Ball are the president-elects.

Event chair Jennie Grube thanked everyone for pulling together, including foundation members and others who helped on the committee. The room parents coordinated the class projects and parties and, of course, the teachers need to be thanked. Jennie wished everyone would “bid high and bid often.” And they did with auctioneer Bryan Goligoski holding the gavel. There was much to bid on,

125th Anniversary Celebration

The Santa Barbara Woman’s Club – Rockwood has a monumental anniversary to celebrate this year. To mark their 125th year, they had a dignified but fun afternoon affair with 135 attending. It featured pianists Gil Rosas and Renee Hamaty, both of whom had been child prodigies. Their performance with both of them on one piano and then each receiving standing ovations. We are lucky to have such outstanding quality right here in Santa Barbara.

Before Gil and Renee played, we had stuffed ourselves with a banquet of homemade hors d’oeuvres and wine. After the show, there were two yummy cakes in honor of the celebration. The club looked beautiful and feminine all done in pink and peach roses, with even the ceiling lit in pink. President Barbara LaPlante thanked everyone for coming, and Nanci Elliot read a proclamation from the mayor’s office. Organizing this lovely afternoon was a committee

WWI was a turning point for women. As Mrs. Levy stated in her 1918 president’s address, “There can be no leisure women. The demands upon women are growing greater each day.” Women began taking men’s places as they were called to war.

Eventually, they bought the property at their currant location when the Rockwood Inn in Mission Canyon burned down. Parking again was a problem for the buggies until they owned the adjacent lot. Among some of their illustrious guest speakers and entertainers have been Helen Keller,

Gil Rosas and Renee Hamaty at the piano for the anniversary tea

headed by Ginger Burkholder with Margaret Lloyd, Kat Lindgren, and Sue Ziliotto.

The Santa Barbara club grew out of the Fortnightly Club in 1892. They wanted a place of their own, not meeting in homes. The first was upstairs at 1235 State Street, and by the end of the year there were 97 members. A major problem was not enough hitching posts on Equestrian Avenue. They complained to the city fathers or city husbands, and soon there was a post for each horse and buggy.

There were several moves. Among them was 6 Arlington Avenue, because it had an auditorium for their 100 permanent members, 25 temporary, and 25 half-members who lived here only for the season. Dues were EARTHQUAKE RETROFITTING 50 + YEARS EXPERIENCE - LOCAL 35+ YEARS

“Ladies, don your pearls and fancy hats. Gentlemen, tie your bow ties and sport that coat and RSVP: yay or neighhh.” So said the invitation to the “Derby Party” from Casa Dorinda.

And they came, decked out for the pre-Derby spring soirée on the lawn by the estate house. The waiters were standing by with trays of mint juleps and there was even a horse, albeit a polo pony and owner Jeff Scheraga from the Polo Academy at the Carpinteria polo fields. To add more to the atmosphere was a live band. “Everything was Coming Up Roses” on the gorgeous masterpiece of a food table topped by vases of the Kentucky Derby flower. It was too pretty to eat.

MISCELLANY (Continued from page 6)

However, they say they have been left no choice but to file a petition against Alan’s third wife, Tanya Callau, who they are accusing of dirty tactics to gain more of his assets.

The 41-year-old Bolivian-born actress is reportedly threatening her stepsons with bad press if her demands are not met.

So now, Robin and Brennan are taking legal action “in order to honor the memory of their father, protect his legacy, and prevent his testamentary intentions from being undermined by the avarice and overreaching” of Tanya, their lawyer tells the Hollywood Reporter.

Alan died aged 69 of a ruptured aorta while playing ice hockey with his youngest son, Carter, 19, from his marriage to Santa Barbara Magazine editor and former Miss World 1990 Gina Tolleson.

Tanya signed a prenuptial in 2005 when she married the Growing Pains star, but his sons claim she’s now insisting it’s invalid.

According to the petition, Alan’s trust leaves his three sons, Robin, Brennan, and Carter equal shares of his Carpinteria equestrian ranch, as well as 75 percent of his personal effects and 60 percent of his remaining estate.

He leaves Tanya the ranch’s furnishings, 25 percent of his personal effects, a $500,000 life insurance policy, all of his death benefits from pensions and union memberships and 40 percent of his remaining estate.

Alan also provided that his wife could live at the ranch as long as she paid for expenses and maintenance.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Robin and Brennan are reportedly asking the court for instructions concerning the extent to which the trust’s property is the actor’s separate property. They claim their father acquired the majority of his wealth long before meeting Tanya.

Robin and Brennan’s mother is Alan’s first wife, Days of Our Lives actress Gloria Loring.

Alan met Tanya in 1999 in Miami,

where he was a celebrity host and she was a model, and they married in 2005.

Three years ago the couple, along with Carter, starred in a reality-sitcom hybrid titled Unusually Thicke and also featured in an episode of Celebrity Wife Swap in 2013.

Stay tuned.

The beautifully illustrated book features a variety of his many eclectic projects, including an Italianate villa in Los Cabos, Mexico, a family idyll on a Swedish island, an apartment in Manhattan’s Gramercy Park – where I used to reside – a Newport, Rhode Island, beach cottage, and his own home in the Hamptons on Long Island.

Marshall’s 67-year-old brother, Tom Watson, also has his own claim to fame being a top golfer in the 1970s and ‘80s winning two Masters, five Open Championships, and a U.S. Open title in 1982.

A replica of Anna Dorinda Bliss’s grand house, “La Casita” was created between 1978 and 1981 by a previous group of residents who sought to foster community fellowship through a group project.

Thirty-five years had taken its toll on the little jewel. At the beginning of

2016, “La Casita” lay in the basement of the auditorium in desperate need of some TLC. Along came Casa Dorinda resident Nancy Spivey and a dedicated team of volunteers, who committed themselves to preserving and restoring this treasure of a dollhouse and returning it to its rightful place in the lobby of the Casa Dorinda Medical Center.

Back in 1978, a retired architect had designed the dollhouse to replicate the first floor of the original as closely

as possible. The second floor featured four apartments. Once it was framed and roofed, detail work commenced.

The Arequipa tile (recently replaced in the real house) was painstakingly replicated, and a team of embroiderers created 16 petit point rugs.

The detail work is exquisite. Almost everything was handcrafted, from furniture to accessories to artwork. And here and there are humorous touches such as a cat and mouse on the stairs and a bat in the belfry. The team made clever use of common objects such as the head of a map pin as a billiard ball and a bottle cap as a flowerpot. An

inner works of a Timex watch became the operating system for the handcarved grandfather clock, which was wound every day.

Upon its completion in 1981, Betsy B. Bromfield, who was director of activities during the original project, wrote: Your Work will last, there is no doubt, When all our sands of time run out, And generations hence, for sure, Will marvel at each miniature.

nal, irreplaceable creation,” as it was described by the 1981 La Casa residents, was saved from the destructive forces of time and the elements. The restoration crew repaired the furnishings, repainted the walls, replaced the wallpaper, and updated the electrical system. The carpets were cleaned and the faded upholstery refreshed.

Probably the most painstaking job

was recreating the Arequipa flooring, which was totally ruined and needed to be redone. Lou Mayer redrew the pattern and then used tiny brushes to hand paint each tiny swirl and curlicue. It took several weeks, and at the end of each session she’d leave a note on the work saying, “PLEASE! PLEASE! Don’t Touch! I’ll go mad if I have to do this over!”

The exquisite details of the restored furnishings

The La Casita Restoration Committee earned well-deserved praise at its reception and deserve special thanks for preserving this historic dollhouse, which in turn preserves the history of Casa Dorinda.

Their journey, and that of the original committee, is documented in a commemorative book called La Casita, published with the hope that “generations to follow will protect and enjoy this Casa treasure.”

Brian Wilson performs Sunday, May 28, at the Santa Barbara Bowl

Wilson’s Pet Project Marks Half a Century

each Boys fans have had the opportunity for a great deal more insight into Pet Sounds, the band’s ground-breaking 1966 album that represented the height of Brian Wilson’s creative prowess, since the legendary singer-songwriter-producer first embarked on a massive tour celebrating the album’s 50th anniversary. First there was a new box set delving into the recording sessions, an update from 1997’s release, followed by the publication of Wilson’s autobiography I Am Brian Wilson.

But the real thing is headed our way on Sunday night at the Santa Barbara Bowl, when Wilson and his band – which features fellow former Beach Boys Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin – perform Pet Sounds in its entirety along with almost 20 other songs from his career with the Beach Boys and as a solo artist as part of the most recent leg of the extended tour before “retiring” the album. Wilson spoke about the music and more over the telephone earlier this week.

A. Well, when we wrote “God Only Knows”, I was very pleased because it was a very good love song. Tony Asher wrote the lyrics and I wrote the music, and it was a thrill to put Carl on the lead vocals. Every night when I sing it, I think of Carl.

Can you talk about the process of constructing the arrangements, particularly the unusual sounds. Where did all those ideas come from?

It came from me and my piano.

Okay. How about the unusual sounds?

a time. We wrote one background instrumentation at a time, one each day, and each one followed the other ones.

I could spend the rest of my life just listening to Beach Boys harmonies every day. Did they take a lot of work, or did they just come easily for you?

Oh, no. They did not come easily. I had to keep working and working on them to get the boys to blend together.

I would hear them in my head first, then I’d get it on tape and we’d harmonize. First my head, then my piano, then over the speakers in the studio. It was a lot of work.

Given that Pet Sounds was so hard to make and not successful at first, did you expect it would become such a revered pop masterpiece? And is there something of an “I told you so” feeling?

When we first made it, I said that people wouldn’t appreciate it for a few years. That started to happen within about five to 10 years. And now, 51 years later, people still love it!

I knew it would take time.

Has performing the album in its entirety for more than a year changed your relationship to it at all? Do you find deeper meanings, or new aspects to approach the music?

In general, when you play songs you wrote more than 50 years ago, does it take you back to your youth, and what you were feeling when you wrote them?

Oh, yeah. Each song on the album, when we do them on stage, it brings back the memory of when we first recorded it. So, there are a lot of memories on stage with me.

You see where you were sitting when you composed each song, or what it was like to record it?

Yeah, it really does bring back a lot of memories.

How are you inspired by the space where you work, whether it’s by the ocean or just in California or your studio itself?

How does that show up in your composing?

The beach inspires my surf songs.

I saw surfers and the beach. My girlfriend’s brother knew all the surf places, and I just took that list and wrote “Surfing USA”…. I like the spirit of the surfers. I like how they wait for the waves. (The physical environment) affects me quit a bit. Quite a bit.

Critical Mass

O

n June 22, 1949, when I was 14, the headmaster of my London school wrote a letter to my parents suggesting they remove me from the school, because of my “unpleasant attitude” and “intolerable rudeness.”

This stern missive had been provoked by my daring to criticize the way my English teacher taught Shakespeare. Actually, I had done so in a way least calculated to provoke any kind of uproar. I had written my criticism as part of the answer to an examination question about a Shakespeare play we had supposedly studied. I naturally assumed only the teacher herself would see it. And it was couched in oblique terms, simply praising the style of a teacher I had before my family had come back from America. What I liked (and now, by implication, missed) was the way he had so completely explained every line in the play. I finished abruptly, simply saying, “How nice it would be if…”

The young woman was apparently so upset by my audacity that she took the paper to the headmaster.

The immediate result was that I was called to his office, and according to his letter, when asked to explain I “only answered with a sneer, ‘It means what it says.’”

Somehow, I weathered that crisis. I did get “caned” by the headmaster in his office. (This involved bending over his desk, while my clothed posterior was repeatedly whacked with a cane.) But, after my parents came and made appropriate obeisance, there was no further punishment – and in my remaining years at that school, and afterward, I became much closer to the people involved. The English teacher was, in fact, the only faculty member I had at my 21 st birthday celebration.

But none of this might have happened if I had already read a book I came across a year later: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. I still think that it was one of the most important books I ever read. And the first big point it makes is: DON’T CRITICIZE. Of course, you can quibble about justifiable exceptions to such a rule, and you can scoff at the book’s very title and concept (and never mind somebody saying, there you go, criticizing already!). But in my own life, I have found this a wise piece 25 May – 1 June 2017

of advice. People don’t like being criticized. We all tend to believe that we’re doing the best we can, under difficult circumstances.

Supposedly, there are big differences between destructive and constructive criticism. But I’m sure you get the general idea, and you probably don’t even need Carnegie’s pages of historical examples. (But I do particularly like the one about the letter Lincoln sent to General Meade, after Meade failed to capture General Lee’s entire army, following the battle of Gettysburg.)

Lincoln wrote what for him was a scathing letter of rebuke, ending: “Your golden opportunity is gone, and I am distressed immeasurably because of it.”

Carnegie happily tells us that Meade never saw that letter, because Lincoln never mailed it. It was found among his papers after his death.

People who know me well may doubt whether that book ever did me much good. I have spent my whole life failing to make many close friends and having very little influence on the people I have most wanted to influence. To that, I can only say that I might otherwise have been much worse.

I did learn certain important lessons from it (besides the one about not criticizing), which I do think have had lasting value for me. One is: never argue. Another is the opposite of don’t criticize: whenever possible, find ways in which you can honestly praise and compliment the people you’re dealing with.

One illustration of this point has always stayed with me. In the post office one day, Carnegie notices how bored the clerk seems with his job. Looking for something he can honestly praise, he finally compliments him on having a fine head of hair. The clerk immediately brightens up, and Carnegie imagines him going home and looking in the mirror, and saying to himself, “You know, I really do have a good head of hair!”

Despite that strong injunction against criticism, we know there are professional critics whom we need, to set standards, and help us make choices. That is undoubtedly true – and I can only sneer that nobody’s ever put up a statue or a monument to a critic.

healthcare providers, or accommodating aging parents, grandparents, or family members with disabilities. An easy to build ADU could also provide space for adult children who want to move back home, or college students or other renters seeking affordable housing.

Local Ordinance Obstructions

The intent of the state legislation is to remove the roadblocks facing homeowners and to lower the cost of approval of ADU design plans and construction that can otherwise run up to $200,000 or more per unit. These roadblocks can include exorbitant water, sewer, and gas hookup fees, requirements for sprinkler systems, bringing the primary residence up to code, lot coverage restrictions, setbacks, off-street parking, height restrictions, and other prohibitive conditions of approval.

The County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors (BOS) and Montecito must alter their ADU planning and zoning ordinances to comply with the new state mandates. Until the BOS adopts its own ordinance, the new state mandate controls the approval process in Montecito and the unincorporated areas of the entire county.

Under the New State Law...

The ADU cannot exceed 1,200 sq ft in size. The new state law regarding ADUs supersedes local jurisdiction regulations, including Homeowner Association CC&Rs. The lot must be zoned for single-family or multifamily use.

ADU applications must be approved or rejected within 120 days of receipt and will only require review where decisions by public officials are made based on strict standards and objective measurements, not judgments. No discretionary view is permitted such as imposing California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements.

The maximum permitted size of an ADU unit attached to an existing dwelling is 50% of the existing living area up to a maximum 1,200 sq ft. The Montecito Planning Commission (MPC) seeks to insert a carve-out for Montecito that limits the size of ADU units based on parcel size: more than two acres, 1,200 sq ft; more than one acre, 1,000 sq ft; one acre, 800 sq ft; one-half-acre, 600 sq ft; one quarter-acre, 400 sq ft.

Only one parking space per ADU or per bedroom is required. Parking may include uncovered tandem parking on an existing driveway or on the street. No setback shall be required for an existing garage that is converted to an ADU, and a setback of no more than five feet from the side and rear lot lines shall be required for an ADU constructed above a garage.

Fire sprinklers can be eliminated if the primary residence does not have them.

Montecito Fire Protection District chief “Chip” Hickman strongly supports the installation of fire sprinklers in all residences in Montecito, as a matter of fire safety and as required by local MFPD ordinances and the California Code.

The legislation allows local ordinances to demand that the ADU shall not be sold separately from the primary dwelling unit; that the ADU may be rented but not for periods of less than 30 days; and that either the primary dwelling unit or the ADU shall be occupied by the owner.

The new state laws do not impinge on local building codes, where building departments are responsible for compliance with construction codes.

The Montecito Planning Commission (MPC) is recommending that all ADU applications be subject to design review by the chair of the Montecito Board of Architectural Review (MBAR). If any structure on the property is 50 years of age or older, MPC wants to submit the ADU to the Historic Landmarks Advisory Committee (HLAC), even if no building structure has been declared as historically significant.

MPC Recommendations to County Planning

The MPC has been tasked with forwarding a recommendation to the County Planning Commission, which will submit a consolidated report to the County Supervisors to create an ordinance that complies with state law.

MPC is trying to thread the needle between the state’s need for more affordable housing and adherence to the Montecito Community Plan to protect Montecito’s semi-rural character. MPC chair Susan Keller noted that MPC commissioners made every effort to find a balance between the state’s mandates and the constraints contained in the community plan, while tailoring their recommendations to similar proposals from other residential communities throughout the state.

MPC’s recommendations are divided into three categories: 1) ADUs constructed wholly within an existing primary dwelling where no new building construction is planned; 2) ADUs on lots where the owner seeks an addition to the principle dwelling, or an addition to an accessory building, or the ADU will be located within a new accessory building; 3) ADUs on lots that do not already contain an existing principle residence, and the ADU will be constructed concurrently with a new principle dwelling.

MPC compiled a couple dozen suggestions for the County Planning Commission to forward to the BOS. The suggested changes were approved by MPC on a 4 to 1 vote. Commissioner Charles Newman voted no on the MPC recommendations on the basis that the intent of the BOS is to comply with the new state law, rather than find ways to circumvent the state law in Montecito. His reading of the political tealeaves is probably accurate. Progressive Democrats Das Williams (District 1); Janet Wolf (District 2); and Joan Hartmann (District 3) are expected to fully support removal of obstacles to create higher densities to accommodate affordable housing and are not expected to offer strong support for Montecito exceptions.

Expected Impact of the ADU Law on Montecito

MPC Commissioner Dan Eidelson asked how much of Montecito is eligible for an ADU? The staff answer from Dianne Black, assistant director of Administration & Planning for the County of Santa Barbara, was “Every parcel would be eligible,” or some 3,500 parcels in the single-family and multi-family residential parcel categories.

MPC Commissioner J’Amy Brown asked staff for an assessment of the expected number of ADU applications in Montecito and got the response they are “trickling in.” When asked to quantify the comment, staff responded that since January 1, there have been nine County applications, with six coming from Montecito, indicating the problem is minimal so far.

Since January, the City of Santa Barbara has received 38 applications for ADU units, with another 17 preliminary applications in the queue. In the past 24 years, the City has permitted only 16 ADUs.

Coastal Commission Corridor Exclusion

Project sites within the Coastal Zone are still subject to permitting requirements under the Coastal Act. California Law does not pre-empt Coastal Zone restrictions, which acknowledge the need for greater development of ADU units within the coastal zone while continuing to protect coastal resources. •MJ • The Voice of the Village •

how well I was portrayed. The part where I was recording Pet Sounds in the studio, I was quite amazed by how it (came out). (On the other hand), I was very sad watching during the parts of my life where I took drugs.

That was the sad part.

What was it like to witness those experiences just as an observer of someone else’s interpretation of major points in your life?

How surreal was it?

It’s quite an experience to watch because it takes me through my whole life. It was like a roller-coaster ride from the beginning.

I know I was worn out after watching it. I can’t imagine what it was like for you.

It was quite an ordeal. Were you happy with the movie?

Oh, yeah. I thought it was brilliant. Can I ask, how was it to re-visit your life in detail to write your autobiography I Am Brian Wilson? Were you able to recapture memories that you thought you had lost?

And if not, how did you cover areas that might have faded?

I wanted people to have my life story. It took me about half a year to get it written. I just took it one segment at a time: When I was born.

Where I first lived. My high school .days. Junior college days. My Beach Boys days. Just one (area) at a time.

Getting Grounded in Order to Soar

The fourth annual Santa Barbara Floor to Air Festival has brought together aerial dance artists and choreographers from around the country to study and teach with Santa Barbara Center for Aerial Dance founder Ninette Paloma, who then collaborated with them and her own dance company to create the evening-length performance that culminates the festival this Friday, May 26, at the Lobero. Combining the ancient with the avant-garde, the classic with the contemporary, the performance also features snippets of each of the visiting artists’ own work between the three major pieces choreographed

by Paloma. (The student showcase takes place at Aerial Dance’s studio on Thursday evening).

It’s the juxtaposition of strength and grace that drew Paloma to the field.

“There’s no denying the brute strength to hold yourself, to suspend yourself up in the air for a full-length piece,” she explained. “But aerial is also honest because it’s vulnerable in the movement. It’s quiet in its strength. And it’s a narrative. What do I want to say?

How do I use my body to express that and connect to the audience? There’s so much that goes into it to make it run, almost like it’s a flying car.”

County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Short-term Rental Ordinance Tuesday, June 6, 2017 Board Hearing Room Fourth Floor 105 East Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara Hearing begins at 9:00 A.M. On Tuesday, June 6, 2017, the County Board of Supervisors will conduct a public hearing to consider the following: a. Receive and file a staff report that sets forth the information that the Board requested at its December 6, 2016, hearing regarding STRs and determine that pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines 15378(b)(5) that these actions are not a project subject to CEQA review; and b. Adopt the STR ordinances, as recommended by the Planning Commissions, by taking the actions set forth in the Board letter and Attachments on this matter, dated December 6, 2016 (Attachment 1); or c. Direct staff to revise the proposed STR ordinances, and return and present the revised STR ordinances to the Board; or d. Take no action at this time.

Please see the posted agenda and staff report available on the Thursday prior to the meeting at http://santabarbara.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx under the hearing date.

The Board of Supervisors meeting begins at 9:00 a.m. The order of items listed on the agenda is subject to change by the Board. Anyone interested in this matter is invited to appear and speak on the project.

Remote testimony can also be given at the Betteravia Government Center, 511 East Lakeside Parkway, Santa Maria. Written comments are also welcome. All letters should be addressed to the County Clerk at sbcob@co.santa-barbara.ca.us.

Indeed, the pieces to be performed on Friday night shift between a variety of gears, employing different apparatus, moods, and approaches. Here’s Paloma’s take on each of the works: “Empathy No. 2” (Performed on lyra [metal rings] and trapeze): It’s an homage to urban expansion, about crowds and strangers elbowing for some sort of free available space in a congested city.

The dancers will be moving around, not connecting, going through that day to day urban commute feeling, being rhythmic, trying and draining, with the dancers contorting themselves into lots of edgy and wild shapes. You’ll see the feeling of that human quotidian daily grind. Then there will be bits and pieces of connectedness, people bouncing energy off of one another.

Finally, at the end, they acknowledge each other’s presence and the greater sense of things.

“Possession is Nine-Tenths of the Law” (rope): It’s decidedly political, a direct response to our current climate where women’s health and bodies are being used as a shield for political fodder, something that feels much more urgent with our administration. We had a big talk as a group of artists and wanted to create a response that felt honest and raw, as well as sarcastic and a little bit angry. There’s definitely some rage in there. All of that is reflected through a series of pieces where the women will be hanging and leaping and twisting their way onto the ropes as they manipulate their bodies to highlight different areas in a sarcastic way. Aerial dance is an incredible vessel for metaphors. The body can deliver a story and continue to express when words fail us. In this piece, the way the bodies are contorted and how we thrust them – very literally – into the public’s eye, really shines a light on how ridiculous some of these laws are.

“Female in Repose” (fabrics): It’s very sensual and gorgeous, with rich vibrant colors, burgundies and pinks, and women in long flowing dresses.

It’s about women as the artist’s muse, being put on pedestals. It’s very sensual and curvy in its movement, but also peppered at times with humor as to how exhausting it can be to be revered, as if we are only these angelic, virtuosic creatures. We’re not. We have dirty fingernails. We tug at our underwear.

You’re going to see that side of women.

Anima Activists Occupy Center Stage

It’s been quite a month for women in theater and performance arts at Center Stage Theater. May opened with a weekend of world-premiere performances of Elaine Gale’s one-woman show One Good Egg, the Santa Barbara resident’s stage adaptation of a memoir-in-progress about relationships, families, healing, and self-growth achieved largely through letting go.

Then, Dramatic Women took over the black box theater in the Paseo Nuevo Shopping Center for two weekends’ worth of One Night Stands, consisting of seven short pieces by local female playwrights (and one man) that mostly starred women and covered themes ranging from releasing a sister to a mother learning to let go of her son to two friends sharing in song about what they want from their marriages.

Now, to close out the month comes a one-night-only presentation that might be the edgiest of all, one that skirts elements of each of the predecessors and takes a much deeper dive into the feminine mystique.

Anima, Ritual Theater of the Feminine Underground, created and produced

by Santa Barbara’s Lisa Citore, is a spoken word, dance, song, and performance art collaborative presented by more than a dozen local women, covering “women’s secrets, dreams, sexual fantasies, revelations, rants, and vulnerable reveals.”

“The idea is to give voice to the feminine subconscious, especially in our current socio-political climate,” said Citore, who is the writer-director-producer of four previous evening-length, one-woman theater productions and a self-described performance artist, women’s sexuality teacher, and pleasure activist. But while most of her previous pieces have focused intently on areas of sexual awakening and expression, the invitation for Anima – sent out to her colleagues and other women in the creative arts and other communities – was much broader.

“It’s all these women sharing from their minds, souls, and hearts and bodies,” Citore explained. “I invited them to bring their own feminine subcon-

Spanish Jeopardy!

M

y wife and I watch Jeopardy! every night. Pat knows a lot of stuff and calmly gives correct answer after correct answer. I get so excited when there is finally a question in my realm, I shout out the answer: “What is beer, Alex!”

“Please stop jumping, you are rattling the dishes,” Pat usually says.

So, when the guy with the purple umbrella said he had to determine what language we spoke, I knew that one and shouted, “What is English?”

“You’re jumping again,” said Pat. We were in Seville, Spain, on an April morning free walking tour, grouped up with a bunch of other shivering people, following a woman at high speed as she navigated through narrow streets from hotel to hotel, collecting more and more tourists, leading us like the Pied Piper to a small plaza where she passed us off to the purple umbrella people.

The head guy stood and said he needed to split us into language groups. English was the largest. So, he split the English group into three groups. He handed our group off to a short young woman named Rachel.

“Follow me to our first stop,” she said, raising her umbrella so we could see her. We regrouped under a small tree and she told us about the various groups that had occupied Spain, then she asked some questions about Spanish history.

There was a woman in a leather jacket who answered most of the questions. After a long five minutes, we moved on to the main plaza by the Royal Palace and the Cathedral Seville, the third-largest cathedral in Spain. There were approximately 10,000 people, pigeons, horses, taxis, and tour guides in the plaza.

“You need to establish your historic prowess for the sake of ‘our team’ and not let leather-jacket woman be the hero of the day,” I told Pat. She nodded, did a couple of shoulder rolls, and cracked her knuckles.

“Who knows what the largest cathedral in the world is?” Rachel asked.

“The Vatican,” Pat said.

“Correct,” said Rachel.

“Who knows the second?”

“St. Paul’s,” said Pat. “Correct again.

“That’s my wife,” I said. Some people seemed doubtful that could be true. Not the first time that’s happened.

Then Rachel asked how long we thought it took to build the cathedral.

25 May – 1 June 2017

LUNCH WEEKDAYS

There were a few guesses. I wondered if it was actually done yet, as one side was covered in scaffolding. “500 years?” guessed Pat. “Correct,” said Rachel.

“Are you actually one of the guides?” someone asked Pat. I smiled proudly.

We moved to another location.

More questions. No one knew these.

“Where’s the lady with the red jacket?” someone asked. Everyone looked around. Pat had taken off her jacket. I pointed her out. “She’s getting warmed up now.”

There were 10,000 people, pigeons, horses, taxis, and tour guides We moved again, down by the river where we learned that the main port had moved from Seville to Cadiz – and did anyone know why?

“Cadiz had more beer?” I said.

“Nope. It was because ships had gotten bigger and big ships couldn’t get up the shallow river,” Rachel told us.

I think the judges on Jeopardy! might have given me credit for my answer.

The next spot was looking at a stone guard tower. “Why did they need a guard tower on a river?”

“Pirates,” Pat said.

“Correct!” Our “team” was back.

We stopped for lunch, then went to the university that used to be a tobacco factory. “Women could not go out alone. Could not work. Could not shop by themselves. Or date. But the tobacco company hired young women to roll cigars.” Probably smoked less than the men, I figured. “Women now had their own money. They could do their own shopping. Even move in with another factory worker woman.

It was the beginning of women’s lib.”

“And the setting for the opera, Carmen,” Pat said.

“Correct!”

Our final stop was the enormous Plaza de Español, which had been used in a bunch of movies, including Star Wars. I thought my moment had finally come in that I have seen all the movies, but there were no questions.

Instead, we all tipped our free guide 20 euros and headed on to our next Spanish adventure.

I’m hoping they ask food and wine questions at the next spot.

them another option for lunch on Coast Village,” he added.

Nobles is a new(er) face at Lucky’s, taking the position left by Eric Maldonado, who left the restaurant earlier this year after 17 years.

Although new to Lucky’s, Montecito regulars may recognize Nobles from his past gigs: he’s worked at the Biltmore, Stella Mare’s, San Ysidro Ranch, and most recently, Convivo in the Santa Barbara Inn. “When the position opened up, I knew it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up,” Nobles told us during a recent interview. He and his wife, Rachel, have lived in Santa Barbara since 2008, relocating from Hawaii, where he also worked in the food and beverage industry. “To have the opportunity to work with Leonard Schwartz, who has been the general manager and executive chef for over a decade, as well as the legendary trifecta of the owners, is just amazing,” he said.

“That partnership is unstoppable.”

Nobles says he looks forward to connecting with guests, and bringing enthusiasm and connection to the seasoned staff, many of whom have worked there for years. A certified sommelier, he also plans on “putting his stamp” on the wine program, which boasts more than 400 selections.

Haven Salon Opens in Montecito

Last year (MJ #22/3), we told you about mother/daughter hairstylist team Cindy Brokaw and Jennifer Palocsay working at the Hair Lounge of Montecito in the Las Aves complex near the bird refuge on Los Patos Way. Now, Brokaw has opened Haven Salon on Coast Village Road, with her daughter by her side.

The new salon, located in the former home of Shear Pleasure next to Bree’ Osh and Alice’s Nail Boutique, specializes in haircuts, styling, color, highlights, straightening and smoothing, up-dos and styling for weddings, balayage (a highlighting technique), hair extensions, permanent waves, color correction, and eyebrow styling. All products used at Haven Salon are organic-based and ammonia-free with Redken, Alterna, and Moroccan oil for hair. The salon serves women, men, and kids.

Brokaw, who has been doing hair in Montecito for 30 years, is the former owner of Cygnet Le Salon & Spa, which was located on Coast Village Road for 15 years. She’s also worked at the Four Seasons Biltmore, Salon del Mar, Shear Pleasure, and most recently, the Hair Lounge. Brokaw is known for her color expertise, and is a master colorist for Redken, as well as a master stylist. She is also former

president of the Coast Village Business Association, and served as a board member for the SBCC Cosmetology Academy. She has been an active member of Leads, a networking group in Santa Barbara, for 27 years, and is also a member of the Search Dog Foundation. When she is not in the salon, she can be found doing animal rescue work and finding hard-to-place dogs new homes.

Her daughter, Jennifer, has been doing hair for 18 years, and is also a master colorist and color educator; the Hair Lounge was the first place they’ve worked side by side.

The pair was separated for decades, as Cindy placed Jennifer for adoption when she was a newborn. Reunited about 10 years ago with the help of a private investigator, the two quickly realized their commonalities, including their chosen careers and passion for hairstyling. Jennifer moved to Santa Barbara in 2015 to be closer to her birth mother, and the two have worked together ever since.

Also working at Haven Salon are hairstylists Anne Marie and Alex.

Anne Marie speaks German and French, and Alex is bilingual including Spanish. Clients of all ages are welcome. The salon is located at 1150 Coast Village Road, Suite F. Salon hours are 9 am to 8 pm. Call (805) 4489866 for more information.

Dr. Amy Mainzer discusses the map of the asteroids relative to our solar system

Asteroids and Comets Research

Dr. Amy Mainzer’s design for a new infrared telescope to map and track asteroids in our galaxy

Principal scientist Dr. Amy Mainzer with Las Cumbres Observatory director Dr. Todd Boroson on stage for the pre-asteroid lecture with a projection of LCO Byrne Observatory at Sedgwick Reserve by BJ Fulton [LCO]

D

r. Amy Mainzer, principal scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory [JPL] in Pasadena, gave a public lecture on May 17 at the Center Stage Theater SB on research and proposals for the discovery and classification of asteroids in our galaxy. The science talk is part of the ongoing free public lectures privately funded by the Las Cumbres Observatory [LCO].

Opening remarks by Dr. Todd Boroson, director, reaffirmed its mission to continue to promote access of astrophysical data via its computerized networking of telescopes around the globe to expedite research in the field for scientists. LCO built the telescope network over 11 years, and they have been operational since 2014.

Mainzer is principal investigator of NEOWISE, NEOCam and for the proposed NASA Discovery mission selected for extended Phase A study January 2017. In 2012, Dr. Mainzer was awarded the NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement medal. NEO is the acronym for “near Earth objects”, and obviously near isn’t a problem, trajectory into Earth is.

Here we find a scientist who admittedly chose astronomy sciences over Greek mythology in high school and

is now working on the next phase of infrared telescopes in space to track and map asteroids. In conversation prior to the talk, she glossed over the theory of Earth’s moon formed out of the debris left over from a collision between it and an astronomical body the size of Mars, a.k.a. the giant-impact hypothesis.

But to her slant, the impact was an asteroid hit that sliced off a portion of Earth’s surface rather than a direct impact. She at first thought the theory was sci-fi, but later acquiesced when analysis of lunar rocks collected during the Apollo Moon landings showed oxygen isotope ratios nearly identical to those of Earth; comparison of the zinc-isotopic composition of lunar samples with that of Earth and mars rocks was similar.

Her talk emphasized that regions close to Earth are filled with asteroids and comets, hypothesized to be remnants left over when the solar system formed from the gravitational collapse of part of the molecular cloud – the nebular hypothesis.

She said both Earth and Jupiter have Trojan asteroids. Online research from NASA states, “Trojan asteroids are trapped in stable gravity wells, called Lagrange points, which precede or

follow a planet. Scientists have discovered thousands of Trojan asteroids accompanying other planets; only one Earth-Trojan has been identified to date, asteroid 2010 TK7.”

The importance of cataloging and tracking near Earth objects, and learning more about the frequency and energy they yield, can potentially decide if Earth will be impacted.

How to protect Earth is the more accurate concern. It’s a timely topic, given the International Academy of Astronautics Planetary Defense Conference was May 15-19 in Tokyo, Japan, where they presented a hypothetical asteroid impact scenario with Google Earth and a smart phone app to predict impact. To date, the immediate solution is called the kinetic impactor mitigation method = a spacecraft hits the incoming object in hopes to deflect it away from Earth.

Her push to build and launch a modern IR [infrared] telescope centers on its ability to detect both light emitting and non-light [dark] masses in space, as IR works on heat sensitivity,

not reflected light values, and an accurate accounting of NEOs can be done.

IR telescopes must be kept at 18 to 35 degrees Kelvin, a mere -427.27 degrees Fahrenheit, to detect objects of various wavelengths. The instrument has to be cold enough not to detect itself and to avoid background infrared light that can interfere with interpretation of results.

The hour talk concluded with some Q&A and refreshments outside.

Discourse among many attendees was that the lecture was light and consisted of information one can get online; they were disappointed the lecture didn’t provide more detailed in-depth science data discussion.

Key guests were former Caltech president Tom Everhart with wife Doris, and astrophysicist Sarah Greenstreet, postdoctoral researcher LCO/UCSB. •MJ

divinity.”

Wednesday’s Anima performance is the first of 12 planned quarterly events spread out over three years, Citore said, which will allow her to complete a full array of her own works based on her dreams. The roster will be chosen from submissions prior to each event. To that end, Citore will also offer Anima Muse Days beginning in August to ignite the creative spark.

As for the initial show, the audience is invited to respond in whatever way they are provoked, she said.

“It will bring up whatever it’s supposed to for each individual. When you do pieces from that deep level, that’s what the subconscious does. It’s a transmissionary offering, where emotional response is welcome.”

Lisa Citore’s Anima takes Center Stage

scious forward and explore dreams, secrets, fantasies, vulnerable or raw moments, or revelations, and create pieces around what comes up.”

Among the participants are choreographer-dancer Cybil Gilbertson, the creator of the ongoing Nectar series at Yoga Soup, whose piece is called “Inside Outside”, and Elysabeth Williamson, whose “The Wound Becomes the Gift” draws on her expertise as the founder of Principle-Based Partner Yoga. Singer-poet-performance artist Ariel Candide offers “Daughter Freedom” and the show’s title piece “Anima”, while Jenna Tico, a longtime Solstice dancer and co-founder and artistic director of TOTEM, stars in her own burlesque piece called “A Whole World of Left”. Connecting the month of threads, Gale returns to Center Stage to perform the humorous “Two Truths and a Lie”.

Each of the works pushes the boundaries of typical theatrical fare, moving past performance into the realm of publicly shared personal expression drawn from exploring the depths of their psyches and empowering the feminine voice.

“I purposely asked everyone to do something that is on the edge for them, something that would be uncomfortable to share,” Citore explained. “Some have told me that creating their pieces has been a catalyst for a journey, with areas of crying and openings. What we’ve got is a mix of dark and funny, sexy and vulnerable.”

Citore’s own multimedia piece, “Alligators in the Basement”, grew out of one of the archetypal dreams she has experienced and recorded throughout her life, she said. “It’s a darkly erotic dream about really breaking free from patriarchal conditioning and coming into myself. It became a journey of feeding and nourishing the shakti energy, bringing it back to health when it’s almost dead, embracing our own inner-killer, and claiming our incarnate

Focus on Film

Pollock Theater’s new “Trans Media” series showcasing contemporary work in TV, narrative films, and documentaries is an effort to explore the relationship between sexual orientation and gender identity outside of a rigid binary view of the world.

New ground was broken by Asia Kate Dillon’s character of Taylor on the just-concluded second season of Showtime’s Wall Street series Billions, a moment in TV history likely made possible by the acclaim afforded the 2015 indie film Tangerine. The movie that also made headlines for being shot entirely using iPhone 5S cameras contained a cis-gender character, as well as a transgender sex worker at its heart. Actress Mya Taylor, who portrayed Alexandra in the movie, will answer questions moderated by Patrice Petro, director of the CarseyWolf Center, following the free screening at 7 pm Thursday, May 25. Info at 893-5903 or www.carseywolf.ucsb. edu/pollock.

Screenings of two ocean-themed local short documentaries take place Wednesday, May 31, at the Lobero Theatre. The Boatmaker, the story of Montecito architect Ken Minor’s 25-year project building a beautiful wooden sailboat in his Sycamore Canyon home (and directed by Montecito-raised Casey McGarry), connects with Ian Cheney’s The Smog of the Sea, which chronicles a one-week journey through the remote waters of the Sargasso Sea with a marine scientist, renowned surfers Keith and Dan Malloy, musician Jack Johnson, spear fisher Kimi Werner, and bodysurfer Mark Cunningham among the crew.

The 7 pm screening will be preceded by a VIP party and followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers. Proceeds benefit the Community Environmental Council, Explore Ecology, and Santa Barbara Channel Keeper. Admission is $15, and $45 for VIP. Visit www. lobero.org or call 963-0761.

Your Westmont

Class of 2017 Receives “Showers of Blessing” A soggy Commencement didn’t dampen graduates spirits Commencement featured a colorful array of umbrellas

N

early 5,000 family members and friends soaked in the pageantry of a Westmont Commencement that honored 300 graduates (103 with honors) during a drizzly morning May 6 at Carr Field.

Paul Delaney, Westmont English professor, dubbed the occasion “making memories in the mist.”

By the time the Commencement speaker reached the podium, the mist had turned to a light rain. “I thank God for showers of blessing,” said Carol Houston, senior pastor of the Bethel Unspeakable Joy Church in Los Angeles and a Westmont trustee.

“This is a great beginning for you.

Do not move onto the next phase in your life believing you can do it by yourself. I submit to you today that you should long to have the power of God’s spirit living on the inside of you, moving through you, anointing you every single day to go forward.

The oppositions will come. The oppositions have come. Greater is the God in you.”

President Gayle D. Beebe gave the Westmont Medal to Patrick Enthoven, a former treasurer and director of Direct Relief. The award honors a Santa Barbara community member who upholds the values and ideals of Westmont. Enthoven, a native of Johannesburg, South Africa, grew up under apartheid, and has been deeply involved in charitable, humanitarian work for the underprivileged in

South Africa. He graduated from the University of Cape Town, and recalled the speech Robert F. Kennedy gave on the University’s “Day of Reaffirmation of Academic and Human Freedom” in 1966.

“He looked at all of us and said, ‘You’re a very privileged bunch of people,’” Enthoven said. “‘But there’s one fallacy about privilege, and that is if you disturb the status quo in any way, you will disturb your privilege.’

He said, ‘I want to tell you that is totally fallacious. Unless you disturb the status quo, unless you improve the lives of the underprivileged, your privilege is at risk.’”

Edee Schulze, dean of students, presented Becky Collier (track and field) and Austin Lack (soccer) with the Dean’s Award for their excellence in the classroom, superior contributions to their team, and deep faith.

Collier, graduating with a 3.62 GPA, is the most decorated Westmont athlete, earning 13 All-American titles.

“Your commitment to excellence goes far beyond competition in the pentathlon,” Schulze said. “Your professors note that you have intellectual curiosity, moral reflectiveness, creativity, and a teachable spirit.

communication studies with a 3.48 GPA, has invested his time where his gifts and abilities intersected with the opportunities of the campus community. “Your desire has always been to follow Christ in your many endeavors and to seek to understand what that might look like in a variety of settings and circumstances,” Schulze said. “You have been both a leader and model within the borders of the men’s soccer program. You are admired for your outreach and mentoring of younger students.”

Sherry Luo, who earned a bachelor’s in sociology with a 3.87 GPA, won the Dave Dolan Award, which honors the outstanding graduate whose campus leadership has made significant contributions in our awareness and response to social and spiritual needs.

Luo founded of the Convergence Club, bringing the college community into respectful dialogue on issues that can be divisive. “You have been an ambassador for the Gaede Institute Liberal Arts Ambassador program for four years, and the Gaede Institute staff have seen you extend, amplify, and make practical use of your deep interest in social justice causes,” Schulze said.

Leandra Marshall and Tommy Nightingale earned the Kenneth Monroe Award, given to the outstanding graduates demonstrating superior academic achievement in the classroom, excelling as leaders on campus, and influencing other students’ lives through their integrity, character, and faithfulness.

Marshall, a Monroe scholar who earned bachelor’s degrees in biology and chemistry with a 3.96 GPA, served in student government for three years and was president of the Westmont College Student Association. “Your professors in biology and chemistry note that you work hard, you are uncommonly determined to understand new and difficult ideas, and you are known for communicating your ideas clearly in order to complete challenging tasks set before you,” Schulze said.

Nightingale earned bachelor ’s degrees in economics and business, English and religious studies with a 3.62 GPA. “You are bright, affable, respectful, and curious; a renaissance

man who enjoys reading the classics, engaging in stimulating conversations, playing chess, and a fantastic tennis player,” Schulze said. “You always show up, push as needed, attentively listen and then challenge, intent on growing in wisdom and enabling others to grow with you.”

Mark Sargent, Westmont provost, announced the recipients of the Bruce and Adaline Bare Outstanding Teacher Awards: Felicia Song, associate professor of sociology, Gregg Afman, professor of kinesiology, and Cheri Larsen Hoeckley, professor of English, who was attending her daughter’s college graduation. Scott Anderson, professor of art, received the Faculty Research Award.

Song, winner in the social sciences, is a sociologist who studies social media. “She writes with discernment about the capacity of social media to give voice to those who might otherwise be unheard – and to create community among those who might otherwise be alone,” Sargent said. “At the same time, she can diagnose the dangers of our digitally saturated world and offers both practical wisdom and scholarly expertise to help us envision sustainable digital practices consistent with Christian values.”

Afman, winner in the natural and behavioral sciences, teaches the science of human movement. “Students in his anatomy, physiology, and fitness classes love his clear explanations, his caring manner, and his humorous interludes,” Sargent said. “In recent years, Gregg has collaborated with scholars at the University of Bath, and he brings students into those projects, enabling some to present their research with him at conferences on sports medicine.”

Anderson, who accepted the Faculty Research Award, regularly produces illustrations for the nation’s leading publications, including the Wall Street Journal, the Village Voice, and Penguin Books. “Two of the nation’s most prestigious publications for the graphic arts – American Illustration and Communication Arts Illustrated— will print selections of Scott’s work,” Sargent said. “This is rare territory: they publish only four percent of the work nominated for their consideration.”

compliance with Senate Bill X7-7, which requires a 10-percent reduction in overall water consumption by 2015 and a 20-percent reduction by 2020.

The analysis included in the plan shows the District is in full compliance with the 2015 interim reduction target, and projections indicate achievement of full compliance in 2020.

During the May 16 meeting, director Floyd Wicks said that the plan accurately reflects the current direction of the District, which is to “increase local, reliable, water supplies.” To that end, the plan depicts an increase in local, “drought proof” water supplies, such as recycled water, desalination, and groundwater banking to improve drought resiliency. According to the plan, a multitude of District efforts are underway.

The board also discussed three potential funding opportunities, including an application for disaster relief funds available through the California Office of Emergency Management to cover costs incurred as a result of the February 2017 storm event. The funds would defray costs from storm damage that occurred on the Doulton Tunnel access road, where large boulders blocked passage, and at Jameson Lake, where downed trees damaged District property.

The board also approved District participation with the County of Santa Barbara Flood Control District to pursue grant funding. In coordination with a County project required by the

National Marine Fisheries Service to remove a debris dam on San Ysidro Creek, funding may be available to assist the District in relocating a section of water main currently located in the creek bed.

Lastly, the District has initiated the preparation of a grant application to the State’s Water Recycling Funding Program for the development of a Recycled Water Feasibility Study.

Recycled water, the use of which is permissible above the state regulated SBX7-7 target, constitutes a reliable, local water supply, and adding it to the portfolio continues to be a high priority for the District, according to reps.

will take place at a commercial kitchen in Goleta called Food For My Soul Kitchen. The workshops will accommodate two age groups, from 6-9 years old and 10-13 years old, on alternating weeks. The kids will learn how to bake and decorate cupcakes, cookies, and a specialty dessert each week, bringing home their creations at the end of each day. They will also be given a baking kit with apron and utensils, so they can practice their craft in their own kitchens.

Teall closed Montecito Confections on Coast Village Road three years ago, after running the business for 21 years.

She is currently working with the Santa Barbara Foundation’s Apples to Zucchini program, teaching local school children how to make healthy, organic food at an after-school class.

“I love it. The kids are little sponges, and they take in everything I tell them about cooking! They are so enthusiastic, and I’m looking forward to the summer,” Teall said. “I love to see their little faces light up!”

The Best Day Foundation, a volunteer organization that helps children with special needs build confidence and self-esteem through safe, fun, adventure activities at the beach, is seeking high school students and adults to assist kids and young adults, aged four to 24, with autism, Down • The Voice of the Village •

syndrome, cerebral palsy, blindness, cancer, and other physical and developmental challenges to simply enjoy a day at the beach. The organization is hosting events at Leadbetter Beach in Santa Barbara on Sunday, June 4; Saturday, September 23; and Sunday, September 24, from 8 am to 2 pm.

“Volunteers are not necessarily required to have any special skill set or experience,” explained Jen Gamez-Sparrow, a registered nurse and co-chair of the Santa Barbara events. “We consistently hear from our volunteers how rewarding this experience is, to make a difference in the lives of kids who continuously struggle with things that many of us take for granted. These kids rarely get to enjoy a day surfing, body boarding, kayaking, or simply building sand castles, while their parents can sit back and watch.”

The organization offers volunteer positions both in and out of the water, and while some require special skills, other positions simply require an open mind and the desire to have fun.

Beach activities include tandem surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, body boarding, kayaking, outrigger canoeing, and lots of beach-based fun. One of the most popular opportunities is becoming a beach buddy, where volunteers are paired with kids to help them make the most of their day. Help is also needed with set-up, registration, food service, and event support.

In the last six years, Best Day has hosted more than 100 events serving more than 3,000 children. To learn more or register to volunteer or participate, visit www.bestdayfoundation. org or contact info@bestdayfounda tion.org.

LETTERS (Continued from page 8)

Let me give a real example. Ina rather modest one-acre neighborhood, many houses are already 3,500 to 4,500 sq ft in size and have a variety of auxiliary buildings. While one neighbor with a larger 4,000-sq-ft home might only need an 800-sq-ft ADU to house a nanny, guest, or service worker, nearby owners of a more modest existing home (of 2,500 sq ft) might prefer to build a 1,200-sq-ft ADU to meet their multigenerational housing needs. Multigenerational needs include housing for a son/ daughter and their child. The total coverage in the first example would be 4,800 sq feet on an acre lot, while the multigenerational approach of two smaller houses would only total 3,700 sq ft of coverage. There is a relationship between the size of the existing home and ADU that the planning commission fails to recognize.

Many of us have children who were raised in Montecito, left for college and jobs, and now desire to return; unfortunately, they cannot afford to come back and live in their home town of Montecito. Our planning commission needs to recognize that there has been an enormous demographic shift that we need to address in order to keep our community vibrant. Our current regulations have led to more jumbo homes, which are oftentimes second homes and vacant for a good portion of the year.

The result of excessive regulation has been the proliferation of numerous auxiliary structures labeled things such as “cabanas,” “pottery studios,” “artist’s studios,” “offices,” and “workshops”; many of these illegally house people. We need to bring this demand out of the shadows as ADUs and allow additional modest infill housing to meet the needs of less affluent residents. The 1,200-sqft ADU limitation by the state only allows for a very modest-sized dwelling unit and should not be restricted further by MPC. MPC already has height, building coverage, and setback standards that control their appearance and density concerns.

Finally, listed below are some specifics of where Montecito is poised to deviate from the intent of the State ADU law. The language in bold type is an excerpt from Sec 5. of the Senate Bill 1069 amending Section 65852.2 of the Government Code and is followed by my comment.

“Accessory dwelling units shall not be considered new residential uses for the purposes of calculating local agency connection fees or capacity charges for utilities, including water and sewer service.

“A) For an accessory dwelling unit described in subdivision (e), a local agency shall not require the applicant to install a new or separate 25 May – 1 June 2017

utility connection directly between the accessory dwelling unit and the utility or impose a related connection fee or capacity charge.”

Comment: A stated intention of the legislation was to make infill development less costly by streamlining the regulatory process and lowering building costs. In the paragraph above, the legislation specifically prohibited the imposition of water or sewer “connection fees” or “capacity charges” when an ADU was connecting to the property’s existing service. There was an oversight in the wording, and the current law only applies to cities and counties.

Because Montecito has a proliferation of Special Districts (water, sewer, fire, and school), which handle our public services, they were mistakenly overlooked in the legislation. Although clean-up legislation is in process in Sacramento, Montecito Sanitary is currently charging a “connection fee” of approximately $7,500 when a customer connects an ADU to its existing lateral line. In contrast, Montecito Water and the Santa Barbara City agencies comply with the law as written and do not charge existing customers this additional fee. Cleanup legislation to close “the special district loophole” has been passing thru the State legislature without opposition and is expected to come into effect shortly.

“Accessory dwelling units shall not be required to provide fire sprinklers if they are not required for the primary residence.”

Comment: Montecito Fire District is requiring Auxiliary Dwelling Units to provide sprinklers. Under certain criteria, they also require the existing dwelling unit to be sprinklered as well.

“This subdivision establishes the maximum standards that local agencies shall use to evaluate a proposed accessory dwelling unit on a lot zoned for residential use that contains an existing single-family dwelling. No additional standards, other than those provided in this subdivision, shall be utilized or imposed, except that a local agency may require an applicant for a permit issued pursuant to this subdivision to be an owner-occupant or that the property be used for rentals of terms longer than 30 days.”

Comment: Although this paragraph provides that an agency may require an applicant for a permit issued to be an owner-occupant, Montecito has over-reached and is requiring that one of the dwellings on the property must always be owner-occupied (as an owner’s primary residence); otherwise the ADU may be subject to removal.

Furthermore, MPC intends to record a notice on the property’s title, which states this restriction in perpetuity.

In other words, all future owners of the property must also reside on the property as their primary residence or the ADU is subject to removal. If you have not seen the wording, the commissioners’ proposed “Recorded Notice”, I can provide it.

Now let’s think about how this occupancy restriction works over time. If the original owner-occupied applicant moves due to a medical condition or a change of employment, the ADU would be subject to removal because the property would no longer be the primary residence of the owner. If the original applicant sells the property to a person who buys it as a second home or investment property, the ADU would be subject to removal. What is the social benefit of removing a legally built ADU from the housing stock? This flies in the face of the intention of the State, which is to build additional infill housing to meet the state’s burgeoning housing needs.

Besides potentially removing a legal housing unit at a future date, this restriction unnecessarily depreciates the original owner’s construction investment, creates financial uncertainty for appraisers and lenders, and does not serve the public good. It encourages the installation of cheaper prefab or modular ADUs instead of more expensive “stick up” construction. This concept has so many unintended negative consequences that I can’t even list them all here. One planning commissioner said, “We all know that the County would never follow-up and remove an ADU.” If that’s the case, why put short-sighted regulatory clauses on an owner’s deed?

“When a local agency receives its first application on or after July 1, 2003, for a permit pursuant to this subdivision, the application shall be considered ministerial without discretionary review of a hearing...”

Comment: In its initial recommendation, the county planning staff was administratively handling the review of all applications. The Montecito Planning Commission altered this process so that the chair of the

Montecito Board of Architectural Review (MBAR) or a designee would review the application’s design components.

In closing, I hope these comments help your readers to understand what is at stake whenever this legislation is finally approved. Please delete all references to my name from this letter, as I do not wish to jeopardize any future application I may make to the Montecito Planning Commission.

A Brush of Kindness

Words can’t say how thankful I am for Habitat for Humanity’s “A Brush of Kindness” program, and for Rose, Ben, Chris, and all the wonderful volunteers.

On a recent Sunday morning, the volunteer appeared en masse and went to work in all directions, doing acts of kindness in a very happy and caring way.

Some hand-washed my mobile home until it sparkled. Some tore off the old ratty and dangerous carpeting on the carport steps. Some braced up the hand railing. Others painted steps and hand railings and trim. Other people moved plants and swept up.

One, my daughter Dana, attacked the bougainvillea that was taking over the roof.

It was like an organized whirling dervish of people happily doing.

I provided snacks and lunch of chili, salad, and herbed bread and cake.

Away these volunteers went back to doing and then exited en masse.

I was in awe by how much was accomplished by these many hands.

The holes in my driveway will be tackled by another special crew soon.

What words can one say? Thanks to these kind, happy volunteers.

People can call Habitat For Humanity at (805) 692-2226 and volunteer.

When you are looking for a charity to make a donation, consider Habitat For Humanity at 6860 Cortonea Drive, Goleta 93117.

I’m 81 years old and was exposed to toxic chemicals and still not able to work. I have received a very special gift from Habitat for Humanity.

Fitness buff Marco Ruegg puts a BOSU ball to good use while improving his balance

A Matter of Balance

N

o matter what it applies to, it’s a desirable state. Whether juggling career and family, a healthy meal and tasty dessert, or tempering social obligations with “me” time, many if not most of us strive for balance. And if that is the case, why would anyone purposefully create an unbalanced setting when working out? There is a relatively simple answer: to challenge one’s muscles even more, of course. Performing exercises while simultaneously forced to engage stabilizing muscles increases the exercise’s efficacy by as much as 40% compared to those same activities executed from a stable position.

This controlled, unstable movement is known as proprioceptively enhanced exercise; proprioception denoting your mind’s ability to know where your body is spatially, and the unstable surface activating your body’s proprioceptors (sensory nerves) to make this determination.

Take a body weight squat, for example. You know where your feet are, right? Square on the floor, but what if you did that same motion balanced on one leg? You’d have to work a lot harder to keep yourself from wobbling, and you’d demand more from the muscles controlling the elevated leg, too. The act of strengthening one’s proprioceptive sense and overall balance bring the smaller, stabilizing muscles of the Lumbar Pelvic Hip Complex into play: the external hip rotators and glutes, and the rear abdominal wall and inner thigh muscle. What’s more, this unbalanced bend improves the evenness of your muscles altogether, correcting asymmetries between legs.

Santa Barbara Athletic Club instructor Jené Dietz elaborates: “Proprioception doesn’t have to start with [the half-circle stability ball known as a] BOSU ball. It can be as simple as standing on one leg when you do a bicep curl, changing the direction you’re looking in when performing any kind of balance-based activity, or closing one eye.” Jené’s barefoot cardio class is based upon proprioception, stability, and core development. “By changing your vision and stance,” she explains, “you engage more sensory nerves, creating a multi-plane, 360-degree awareness of where your limbs are in terms of space.”

Ms Dietz, a former competitive snowboard coach and recent

36 MONTECITO JOURNAL

Santa Barbara Athletic Club instructor Jené Dietz, seen here on a balance pad, observes that “every elite athlete eventually comes back to the stability portion of their training. It’s the first building block. The foundation.”

Mammoth transplant, sums it up neatly: “From Olympic gold medalists to someone just getting introduced to a high level of performance, every elite athlete eventually comes back to the stability portion of their training. It’s the first building block. The foundation.”

The Balance Pad

There are many pieces of equipment made to keep you off balance, and it shouldn’t come as a surprise. Take the balance pad, for example. About the size of a two-and-a-half-inch thick pillowcase, this soft foam pad will keep you on your toes even as your body weight sinks into it. Used for stability training and rehabilitation, its design is deceptively simple given the range of musculature it benefits. You can use it to enhance any floor exercise.

From squats and lunges, to planks and push-ups, with both appendages braced or just one, the act of countering the pad’s softness guarantees you’ll work yourself harder.

Go barefoot to bump up the effort of legwork even more.

Considering the foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments, strengthening the feet is an activity we all should practice.

Vestibular Discs

The logical progression from the balance pad is vestibular discs. An air-

Tremaine Jones works out on a vestibular disc, one leg at a time

filled disc just bigger than a Frisbee, this wobble cushion has a textured surface for tactile feedback as well as safety. More portable than BOSU and stability balls, its uses are endless and especially suitable for use by the health-conscious office worker.

Just sitting on the cushion strengthens the hip joints and activates the core, while a gentle rocking or twisting motion helps you whittle while you work. As for leg exercises, you can perform single leg balances, squats, and toe taps, and improve your ankle stability while strengthening your glutes, hamstrings, and quads. Close an eye to increase proprioception, and play around with the level of inflation if you want to maximize the efforts of your stabilizers. As certified physical therapist Ellen Stück says: “[the vestibular disc] is a handy thing for training your body awareness. The disc’s unstable surface makes you work a lot harder to stay upright – calling into play a lot of little tiny muscles in your ankles to help keep your center of mass over your base of support.” For patients having trouble maintaining balance, she adds, “it allows for working on this in therapy.”

The UCSF graduate addressed the disc’s range further: “It’s all about maintaining your stability with

• The Voice of the Village •

weight bearing – whether with the arms or with the legs. Used in conjunction with planking or push-ups, it challenges core muscles to constantly make miniscule adjustments, literally forcing you to use muscles that wouldn’t be required on a stable surface.”

Employed by the five-star CMSrated Californian, Ellen’s endorsement speaks volumes. As does the endorsement of the owner and operator of SB Physio, Art Van Leuven, a doctor of physical therapy and an athletic trainer. “We use it with upper and lower extremities as a progression in a dynamic environment,” he says.

“It can also be used in a quadruped position, so you can do arm activity, and from a sitting position to enable lumbo-pelvic disassociation. By rocking and shifting when seated, the lumbar and pelvis muscles separate, core musculature is stimulated, and pressure is unloaded from the spine.”

The BOSU Ball

Which brings us to our last peek at this unbalanced world: the BOSU ball.

Introduced in 2000 by inventor David Weck, the term BOSU is actually an acronym for “both sides up,” and refers to the versatility of this destabilizing tool. Resembling nothing so much as a stability ball cut in half and attached to a rigid platform, the beauty of the BOSU is in the name. Either the platform or the rubber dome can be used as the surface on which one balances, yielding different results to the different stabilizing muscles engaged.

Just ask Marco Ruegg, fitness buff and kinesiology major: “The BOSU ball is a great tool to work on your balance and coordination, and overall stability of your body,” he opines.

It’s a sentiment echoed by Charlotte Mooney, studio manager at Orange Theory Fitness: “It can turn any move into a full-body move. Whether you’re standing, squatting, planking, or going over the top of it, you’re forced to use your core.”

It’s unanimous. Everyone from fitness trainers to physical therapists agree: get unbalanced to get in balance.

at The Mill downtown, raising $20,000 for the 25-year-old dog adoption and welfare group founded by Shirley Jansen.

Since it was founded, more than 8,000 dogs have been rescued from its no-kill headquarters on Overpass Road, which costs $500,000 annually to maintain.

The bash, co-chaired by Sam Onnen, Hannah Buschbom, and Ali Evans, gave everyone paws for thought.

The next fundraiser is an English tea party at Jansen’s Santa Barbara home on Saturday, June 10, with yours truly as the butler.

Opulent Oprah Not surprisingly, our rarefied enclave’s most famous resident, TV titan Oprah Winfrey, is one of the richest self-made woman in the U.S., according to Forbes magazine.

The annual list is comprised of the 60 wealthiest women in the country who started out with next to nothing and rose to build fortunes whose combined net worth totals $61.5 billion.

The wealthiest self-made woman is Marian Ilitch, who co-founded the Little Caesars pizza chain with her husband, Mike Ilitch, who died in February.

The dynamic duo built a corporate empire that includes Little Caesars, the MotorCity Casino Hotel in Detroit, and the Detroit Red Wings hockey team, among other properties.

Marian, whose net worth is pegged by the financial glossy at $5.1 billion, took over the top spot from last year’s reigning businesswoman, Diane Hendricks, co-founder and chairwoman of ABC Supply, one of the biggest wholesale distributors of roofing, siding, and windows.

Oprah, 63, is tied at third place with Judy Love – who co-founded the Love’s gas station chain – with a net worth valued at $2.9 billion each.

Rounding out the top 10 is Lynda Resnick, whose $2 billion fortune was built on the strength of the thousands of acres of almond, pistachio, orange, and pomegranate orchards that she and her husband, Stewart, own in California, Texas, and Mexico.

The tony twosome used their resources to build the Wonderful Company, which markets brand names including Fiji Water, Pom Wonderful, and Wonderful Pistachios.

Magical Money It was a spell-binding occasion when the University Club was transformed into the Magic Mansion netting a handsome $100,000 for the cashstrapped Unity Shoppe, which is celebrating its 100th year of community service.

TV telethon on KEYT had been bedeviled with technical problems, which had resulted in significantly lower donations. “We have a $1.7 million mortgage to service each month, so everything is extremely tight.”

Turning out to support the popular nonprofit, which last year served 10,000 families and 3,500 seniors, distributing more than $2 million in food and merchandise, were Peter Hilf – who gave a $40,000 check during one magic trick – Arlene Montesano, Ali Ahlstrand, Eric and Nina Phillips, Dan Encell, Tom and Eileen Mielko, Chris Mitchum, Randy Weiss, Ursula Nesbitt, KEYT’s John Palminteri, Les Carroll, Jonatha King, Wendy McCaw, Tom Parker, and Dennis Longaberger.

Before the Schumann Squared concert, dedicated in memory of the late Michael Towbes, chairman Joe Campanelli, who described it as “the crescendo to a stellar season,” said a $130,000 deficit should be cleared by June. “We want to assure the future for the next 40 years.”

Italian pianist Alessio Bax, a frequent performer with the orchestra, led by veteran conductor Heiichiro Ohyama, was in particularly fine form with Robert Schumann’s concerto in A minor, getting a standing ovation at the end of his most impressive performance.

The concert wrapped with another Schumann work, symphony No. 2 in C major.

A glorious conclusion to the season, with many more to come it is hoped.

Spirituality Matters

by Steven Libowitz “Spirituality Matters” highlights two or three Santa Barbara area spiritual gatherings. Unusual themes and events with that something extra, especially newer ones looking for a boost in attendance, receive special attention. For consideration for inclusion in this column, email slibowitz@yahoo.com.

Circles are the Stars in Constellations

F

amily Constellations are facilitated group processes, a trans-generational healing modality that explores deep, unconscious dynamics that have occurred within a family system and how these may be contributing to the challenges experienced in our everyday lives. The processes can not only reveal but help liberate people from old family system patterns, addressing a wide range of issues including relationship difficulties, illnesses and diseases, depression and anxiety, career stagnation, and many others.

“Constellations allows people to untangle themselves from unconscious loyalties to people from their families who have suffered in the past, and to let go of burdens we have carried that don’t belong to us,” explained Lesley Weinstock, who has been involved in studying and practicing the healing modality for about 20 years, and has co-facilitated circles in Santa Barbara for the past two years. “When we do that, when we heal those lost connections, what returns is a sense of security, love, and belonging.”

The process is much more effective than simple knowledge or selftalk, Weinstock said, largely because Constellations access areas beyond conscious understanding. “(Often we uncover) things that we are completely unaware of that happened generations ago that are still affecting us today. It’s really quite profound soul work.”

At the Constellation Circles, Weinstock or her co-facilitator establishes family background with the participant, who is called the client, updating from an interview and form completed prior to the meeting. Such questions as circumstances of birth, numbers, and ages of siblings, early or unusual deaths, and whether there have been any adoptions, miscarriages, or abortions. Based on the responses, the facilitator then identifies themes or patterns within the family system and decided upon an “entry point.”

That’s when the client chooses people from among the other members of the circle to represent specific family members and to place them in the work area generally referred to as the field. The remarkable part – and what sets constellations apart from other somewhat similar role-playing shadow work – the reps are told little if anything at all about details and circumstances or personalities of the people they are portraying. Simply by intention and intuition, they take on the thoughts and feelings of the family member or

40 MONTECITO JOURNAL

ancestor they are representing, serving as a conduit to connect with the soul of the person rather than the story.

“They’re not acting; they’re embodying the various parts,” Weinstock explained. “They tune into the ‘knowing’ field rather than taking on a role deliberately. They’re doing it intuitively. And it usually turns out unbelievably accurately.”

Indeed, Weinstock said, when she’s not facilitating and has been asked to be a representative, “Something covers over me. I don’t consider myself psychic, but when I get in the field, something comes over me. I might start feeling nauseous, or limping, or something, without knowing why.”

The reps determine what happens next, she said.

“We course correct, add new elements, and offer suggestions. But there is no agenda, we just watch what happens and follow the energy of the reps to determine which way to go.”

Through observation and feedback from the client as the scene progresses, the facilitator continues to hone in on the hidden patterns that lie beneath the family story and eventually move the constellation toward a healing resolution. “We’re in conversation,” Weinstock said. “I’m constantly checking in and watching the client. I help them get grounded and soothe the nervous system so they feel safe and can actually metabolize the constellation.”

The result can often be life-altering, Weinstock said. But one does not need to be the “client” or even selected as a representative to participate in her Constellation Circles, which take place twice a month. While each meeting can accommodate up to two individual processes, there are also short exercises that allow everyone to experience at least a mini-version of constellation work.

Seekers in the area now have two monthly options for Constellation Circles co-facilitated by Weinstock on either side of Santa Barbara. The innerU Constellation Circle returns after a hiatus to Goleta from 7 to 9:30 pm on Wednesday, May 31, at Storke Ranch Community Center, 6822 Phelps Road.

Co-facilitated by Anne-Marie Charest, Ph.D., who is also a somatic/transpersonal coach, the circles will continue every fourth Wednesday of the month.

Meanwhile, Peaceful Soul Constellation Circles are also held in Carpinteria, usually on the third Wednesdays of the month, which Weinstock, who is also a physician assistant and Functional Medicine

Health coach, co-facilitates with Maya Shaw Gale, M.A., a certified Hakomi practitioner/trainer, life coach, and ceremonial leader. As these sessions are held in a private home, the location will be provided to those who register in advance. The cost is $10 for participants in advance, or $15 at the door, while “clients” undertaking a personal constellation are charged $75, which includes the questionnaire, a pre-constellation phone interview, and a follow-up call after the event.

For details and to book a circle, call Weinstock at 212-0052 or email les leyweinstock@yahoo.com. Charest can be contacted at 708-6363 or via email at anne.marie.charest@me.com, while Gale can be reached at 857-1789 or email mayashawgale@gmail.com.

Pints & Parables with Peter Rollins

Northern Irish writer, public speaker, philosopher, and “radical theologian” Peter Rollins has written dozens of parables and collected hundreds more over his years. He’s deployed them in both his books (including 2009’s The Orthodox Heretic) and public presentations, using the tales as a type of discourse that knocks people off course deliberately so that they can discover radically new ones. The parables are useful as an almost devious method to parts of our being that more direct speech can’t touch as effectively. The stories – funny, poignant, or shocking – tactically confront with probing truths that might otherwise be missed and reveal what lies beneath the surface.

Rollins is returning to SOhO this weekend, visiting the nightclub where the stories usually comes via music, with the senses dulled by imbibing.

They’ll be serving the usual quaffs at the event, but you may find yourself more altered by Rollins’s offering of a few of his favorite parables along with some reflections and conversation.

The event takes place 6:30 pm on Friday, May 26, and admission is $12 to $20. Call 962-7776 or visit www. sohosb.com. For more info on Rollins and his approach, visit www.peterrol lins.com/pints-and-parables.

Joy at the Center of the Heart

Patrick Harbula has been a leader and teacher in the human potential movement, a meditation trainer, and a life coach for more than 20 years, but his work in personal and spiritual growth dates back much further. In 1986, he founded Meditation magazine and wrote more than 50 articles on meditation, spiritual practice, health, and environment for the periodical. He was on the board of trustees of a Los Angeles nonprofit that presents interfaith community

events from 1984 through 1992, and from 1993 to 2001 worked as a director for Sage Publications – the Newbury Park-based independent international publisher of social science journals and books that is owned by Sarah Miller McCune, the now Santa Barbara-based philanthropist – helping to grow the company’s success by applying spiritual principles to business strategy.

The author of The Magic of the Soul: Applying Spiritual Power to Daily Living, Harbula carries an empowering message of living one’s passion through applying life purpose at all of his appearances, whether at conferences or growth centers or on TV, including Good Morning America, Inside Edition, ABC, and NBC. This Sunday, May 28, he’s bringing his “The Joy Factor! A Life of Infinite Freedom” workshop to Center of the Heart’s Center for Spiritual Living in Goleta.

At the 1 to 4 pm event, attendees will learn how asking “What will bring me joy?” can become a compass for selflove. The process can help practitioners experience spiritual joy while dealing with dark moments via manifesting the power and freedom of non-attachment to release the thoughts and limiting beliefs that prevent you from living a life full of happiness. Admission is by love offering/voluntary donation.

Harbula will also serve as guest speaker for regular celebration service at the center, talking at 10:30 am Sunday on “Radical Gratitude: an Entrance into the Sacred”.

Chant Masters in Concert

Mantra music superstars Deva Premal & Miten fell in love at an ashram in India more than a quarter-century ago, and have since been sharing sacred music concerts around the world. Dubbed “The Johnny and June Carter Cash of sacred music” by Yoga International, the pair have sold millions of albums and topped World Music and New Age charts, as well as attracted accolades from the Dalai Lama, Eckhart Tolle, Tony Robbins, and others.

Deva Premal & Miten bring their spiritual concert that blends elements of folk, rock, reggae, gospel, and blues with New Age soundscapes applied to spiritually inspiring original songs and mantras from India and Tibet to the Marjorie Luke Theatre this Sunday, May 28. The 7:30 pm stop on their Temple at Midnight tour finds the pair accompanied by their longtime collaborator, Nepalese bansuri flutist Manose and two special guests, Danish percussionist Rishi and Canadian bassist Joby Baker. Tickets cost $35 to $79.

MISCELLANY (Continued from page 37)

On Their Toes State Street Ballet, founded by former American Ballet Theatre dancer Rodney Gustafson, continues to impress.

The talented company’s latest production Modern Masters at the New Vic, an original program of contemporary dance featured the work of four choreographers – the ballet’s own Cecily Stewart, New York-based regular William Soleau, Boston Ballet School’s Kevin Jenkins, and Gina Patterson, a Jackson Hole, Wyoming, resident.

Stewart’s premiere Trains of Thought, featuring the music of Depeche Mode, was an exuberant piece with a variety of New York street and subway scenes, thankfully without the odors one associates with a humid Manhattan.

Soleau’s 2004 work, Sonnets of Love and Death, was particularly passionate while Jenkins’s C’est la Vie, which premiered in 2014 and was restaged for SSB this year, exuded French street style in all its romantic glory.

Patterson’s premiere of The Call, inspired by water and its relevance to life, was a delightful rap to the show.

Here’s the Goop...

Montecito’s newest celebrity resident Gwyneth Paltrow and Vogue’s Anne Wintour are teaming up to take the Oscar winner’s Goop wesbite to print through a partnership with magazine publisher Conde Nast.

Wintour, an erstwhile colleague of mine from New York Magazine, now artistic director of the Manhattanbased publishing giant, says that through the Goop brand the actress has built a “thoroughly modern take on how we live today.”

The first issue of Goop magazine is slated for September newsstand release.

The glossy will be published quarterly and revolve around wellness themes seen on Goop.com.

Gwynnie describes Wintour, who was recently dubbed a dame by Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace, as “a powerhouse” and “one of the admirable thought-leaders in media,” while Wintour credits Paltrow for her impeccable taste.

“I’ve long-known her to have wonderful taste and vision – but with Goop she has built something remarkable, a thoroughly modern take on how we live today.”

Paltrow launched Goop in 2008 as a weekly newsletter. Today it has expanded into a fully fledged style and wellness brand complete with an online shop that sells everything from clothing to kitchen wear.

THURSDAY, MAY 25 ACLU Leader to Speak – UCSB’s MultiCultural Center Theater normally hosts music, dance, film, and other artistic performances aimed at addressing racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination. More recently, there’s also been a focus on immigrant rights, which is the subject of today’s talk by Ahilan Arulanantham, director of Advocacy/Legal Director at the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California. Arulanantham, a recipient of a 2016 MacArthur “Genius” Award for his work in the field, has been a devout advocate dating back to the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attack, when his work included representing detained immigrants in New York in the autumn of 2001, and has continued through defending detained refugees and Central American children.

Arulanantham has argued on behalf of undocumented residents before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and testified to the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Now he will share his experiences from the frontline and explain why immigrant rights should matter to us all.

by four fraternity brothers at the University of North Texas back in the early 2000s, who cut their teeth in the dancehalls of all around the area and the state. A decade of solid touring and smart albums that fused heartland rock with the tougher side of Texas country music, the group hit it big in 2012 when their Life at Best album included a double platinumcertified single “Crazy Girl” that also earned them an Academy of Country Music Award for Song of the Year.

Detours into the more pop side of country ensued, and while they scored some more hits (“Drunk Last Night”), the band is said to be returning to its country roots for its next album, Fingerprints, due on Friday, June 16.

The record is billed as a return to form for the group who remains known for their enthusiastic live shows. After their set at the Chumash, head on down the road to the Maverick Saloon and kick up your heels.

THURSDAY, MAY 25 Legend in His Own Time – You’ve got to be a pretty humble guy to accept a role where you portray a trendy but boring popfunk sensation in a film that’s all about artists sacrificing to strive for creative success. But John Legend is also a pretty secure artist, having garnered multiple Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and even an Academy Award for best song. So, he had no problems playing Keith in last year’s La La Land, even contributing the song “Start a Fire” for the movie’s soundtrack.

Then again, he’s been willing to be in the background or acting as support for zillions of other artists for years, including collaborating with Jay Z on “Encore”, singing backing vocals on Alicia Keys’s 2003 hit “You Don’t Know My Name”, and playing piano on Lauryn Hill’s “Everything Is Everything” – not to mention scoring a Number 1 hit single on his own (“All of Me”) on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Legend’s fifth studio album Darkness and Light, out last December, has been hailed as most personal record yet, as The New York Times said Legend “treats love as something far more complex than a panacea and a fount of perpetual reassurance, with music to match.” You know, kind of not like his La La Land character at all. Legend once again leaves it all on the stage at our beloved amphitheater tonight in an it’s-almost-summer date at the Santa Barbara Bowl.

FRIDAY, MAY 26 Disorderly Construct – The concept for the new exhibit at The Arts Fund Gallery was to challenge artists to present or create a work that falls outside their familiar and normal practice – or at least serve as an offshoot of work for which they are known. In researching this show, curators Hugh Margerum and Giulinana Mottin discovered a fascinating array of work in the studios they visited that affirmed their notions that creativity manifests itself in surprising ways. The eight artists represented – Linda Daniels, Nancy Gifford, Karl Petrunak, Hank Pitcher, Maria Rendon, Richard Ross, George Sanders, and Mottin – were selected from proposals submitted that involved work that explores either unfamiliar artistic territory, side projects in different media, or entirely new subject matter. The artists and curators will be on hand tonight for the opening reception held during the monthly fourth Friday Funk Zone Art Walk.

humane play. Containing one of the most memorable trials ever staged, the thriller and controversial political polemic is a now considered a classic of theater. But back in 1968 when UCSB’s Simon Williams first forayed into putting on the play it was only 20 years old, and Williams was directing a production at Pahlavi University, in Shiraz, Iran, with students who had largely never even seen a play let alone acted in one. As he says in his director’s note: “The context of Iranian society as it was then, the central message of the play, ‘What there is shall go to those who are good for it, had a truly revolutionary ring to it for those who were performing.” But that revolutionary production was not to be – at least for Williams – half a century ago, as the project was disrupted by a massive student strike that closed the entire university down and ended with tragic results. It’s unlikely such mayhem will ensue, at least off the stage, when Williams finally takes his turn directing the work in what he calls America’s own now “dangerously post-truth age.” WHEN: Opens 8 tonight, then runs 8 pm May 31 to June 3, plus 2 pm Sunday, June 4 WHERE: Hatlen Theater, UCSB campus COST: $17 general INFO: 893-2064 or www. theaterdance.ucsb.edu Double Dose of Young Dancers – Santa Barbara Festival Ballet, the venerable dance studio that produces the largest offering of The Nutcracker Suite at the Arlington every December, presents Tales from Beatrix Potter at

The one-act ballet is drawn from the children’s stories of English author and illustrator Beatrix Potter, best-known for her children’s books featuring animals, such as those in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. On Sunday, student performing groups from Inspire Dance Santa Barbara take their turn at the black box venue for Mother Goose Tales, a sweet and heartfelt telling of favorite Mother Goose nursery rhymes. Childhood memories come to life through dance, acting, and costume through the young performers, who range in age from 6-16 and will draw on their own (and your) imagination and enthusiasm for an age-old tradition of storytelling through movement, mime, and music.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 31 Goin’ South in the West – Jeremy Haladyna’s Ensemble for Contemporary Music (ECM) at UCSB presents an unusual season finale with a whimsical title of “The Concert that Went South”, featuring works by Tristan Murail, Sofia Gubaidulina, Donald Erb, Mikolaj Gorecki, György Kurtag, and others, plus a piece by UCSB graduate composition student Scott Perry. Starting with an elegant modernist bent and music by Tristan Murail, the concert takes a drastic turnabout in tone and direction, as Murail’s Feuilles à travers des cloches is a glowing example of late-modernist thinking; only the title illogically inverts Debussy’s own “Leaves are now seen through bells,” rather than the other way around.

Also in the first half is Sofia Gubaidulina’s In Croce, offered in the version for cello and pipe organ by Kathryn Carlson and director Haladyna. Gubaidulina is known for her deconstruction of the modernist ethos, which shows up here in a lengthy section where both cello and organ play a passage that sinks down, down, down – indeed heading “south” for an extended trip. Post-break, Erb’s The Rainbow Snake is a no-holds-barred tribute to Australian aboriginal legend features solo trombone, plus a large array of percussion and tweaked keyboards. Gorecki’s Overture for string quartet toys with the verve of a manic mechanical engine, while the Six Pieces for Trombone and Piano by Kurtag offers odd “going-nowhere” fanfares, a quasi-masochistic “Beating” movement and a strange parody of Liszt’s famous La Campanella. Check the website for more details about the performance that, as Haladyna says, takes a concert “180 degrees in midstream, something I’ve always had a hankering to do.” The mid-afternoon hour only adds to the oddity.

and 1970s, the show presents an eclectic array of works on paper, loosely divided into themes, including dreams, icons, notions of home and travel, history, and images of humans and wildlife representing artists from the United States and around the world. Times to coincide with the summer, typically a season when travel occurs, the exhibition offers the viewer a metaphoric venture to various new destinations.

Many famous artists are among those represented, and there are unusual juxtapositions, including Andy Warhol’s stark pop portrait of Elizabeth Taylor facing off with Picasso’s take on his mistress, Dora Maar.

Ticheli – whose music has been described as being “optimistic and thoughtful” (Los Angeles Times), “lean and muscular” (The New York Times), and “brilliantly effective” (Miami Herald) – will also wield the baton for his Angels in the Architecture featuring graduate student Molly Clementz (mezzo soprano) as the “angel”; Dancing on Water highlighting the full ensemble; Blue Shades featuring a jazzy clarinet solo; and Song for Aaron (movement 2) from the Clarinet Concerto, performed by UCSB Wind Ensemble director Paul Bambach.

Ticheli’s Nitro will be conducted by graduate assistant Cynthia Vong. WHEN: 7:30 pm WHERE: Lotte Lehmann Concert Hall, UCSB campus COST: $10 general, $5 students, free children under 12 INFO: 893-2064 or www.music.ucsb.edu

the introduction by longtime Aussie manager Shaun O’Bryan of new hotel executives, including Klaus Kabelitz, who formerly worked at Claridge’s and the Dorchester in London, and in due course will be taking the helm of the totally renovated Cadogan Hotel, just a tiara’s toss or two from the tony department store Harrods.

The ritzy hostelry on Sloane Street, just a short distance from my old Chelsea apartment off Sloane Square, also has its part in history as the playwright Oscar Wilde was staying there when an irate Marquess of Queensberry left a decidedly libelous calling card over the Irish wit’s relationship with his son, Bosie, Lord Alfred Douglas, which ended up with Wilde’s eventual imprisonment in Reading Gaol.

Among those turning out for the bash were Robert and Robin Fell, Barry and Jelinda DeVorzon, Chris and Mindy Denson, Gretchen Lieff, Bill and Sandi Nicholson, David Sigman, John Thyne, and Kari Lloyd.

Making History After 10 years of planning, Santa Barbara Historical Museum opened its new $500,000 Edward Borein Gallery with a colorful Western gala at the venerable institution.

Borein, who lived in our Eden by the Beach for more than 20 years before his death in 1945, left a legacy of paintings and etchings that depict the old West as he experienced it as a cowboy at the beginning of the 20th century.

The new gallery, transformed from former office space, showcases 84 of the artist’s oil and watercolor paintings and a large selection of his etchings, and also tells the extraordinary story of his life, from his youth in northern California and the time he spent as a vaquero in California and Mexico, to his years as an important member of the Santa Barbara community.

In addition to his artistic contributions, Borein helped organize both the

first Old Spanish Days Fiesta parade, and the famed Rancheros Visitadores riding group.

“The new gallery affirms the museum’s commitment to give Borein the recognition he so justly deserves as an artist who accurately interpreted an important part of our past,” says Marlene Miller, curator of the new exhibit.

“With his renderings of the American West, he takes his rightful place alongside such important artists as Charles Russell and Frederick Remington.”

After a VIP champagne reception, a tri-tip and chicken dinner party was thrown in the museum courtyard for guests including mayor Helene Schneider, Sharon Bradford, Marc Appleton, Lynn Kirst, Hal Conklin, Lynn Brittner, Missy DeYoung, Neal Graffy, Warren Miller, Sybil Rosen, John Saladino, Jean Schuyler, and Eleanor Van Cott.

style, $35 million, 106-acre property perched high above the Gaviota Coast.

A shuttle was also available to take us to Villa del Mare, a five-bedroom, 10-bath property on 287 acres, nearby that was built by the same owner, which is for sale for $38,500,000.

As awed guests quaffed wine and champagne and noshed on canapés from Malibu caterer Jennifer Naylor, they inspected the four McLaren British-built cars, which go for between $191,000 and $288,845, that lined the driveway.

Among those checking out the pricey real estate, not to mention the

The Day the Music Died Although the talented chamber players Camerata Pacifica officially wrapped their 27th season last week,

there was icing on the cake for fans when they reprised a spring performance of Bach’s 1741 work The Goldberg Variations at the Music Academy of the West’s Hahn Hall.

Harpsichordist Paolo Bordignon, who plays with the New York Philharmonic and performed at a Juilliard gala with Wynton Marsalis and Renée Fleming – who will be giving master classes at the Miraflores campus’s summer festival – was in particularly fine form.
