Our Picks for Fire Safety
by Bob Hazard
Mr. Hazard is an Associate Editor of this paper and a former president of Birnam Wood Golf Club
n Tuesday, November 6, Montecito voters will be asked to choose four candidates from among eight people competing for the Montecito Fire Protection District (MFPD) Board of Directors.
Should the Fire Board Be Expanded From 3 to 5 Members? The first question on the November ballot is whether to increase size of the Fire Board from three to five members. This is a no-brainer. Vote YES to expand the Board. A five-member Board means broader community representation and an increase in the talents and experience available to the Fire District. It gives the Board the flexibility to appoint specialized sub-committees that can meet the full range of financial, strategic and administrative needs of the Fire Board. Presently, with a three-person board, it has become difficult for two board members (who would represent a majority of the board) to speak to each other outside the confines of a public meeting without running afoul of Californias Open Meeting Law (the Brown Act). A five-member board would alleviate that. What Does the Fire Board Do? Montecito needs a fresh perspective and a much needed in-depth examination of such critical issues as the sustainability of existing employee benefits and pensions, establishment of appropriate financial reserves, fire preparedness, emergency evacuation , the development of a third fire station, legal issues and stronger financial management. The Fire Board must balance the legitimate concerns of Montecitos fire fighters against the communitys need to provide the best fire protection and emergency services for the most efficient expenditure of taxpayer dollars. Who Are the Strongest Candidates? Eight Montecito residents have stepped forward to offer their talents and experience to serve on an expanded Fire Board. Which of these eight offer the best combination of management skills, leadership, judgment and wisdom to strengthen the Fire Board? Our selection was made doubly difficult because of the strengths of all the candidates. Roy Jensens invaluable prior and ongoing service as a Fire Board member should be acknowledged and congratulated. Mindy Denson, Warner Owens and Peter van Duinwyk are both qualified, intelligent, and resourceful. Based upon surveys and conversations weve had with at least 17 community leaders, we believe the strongest candidates are: Susan Keller has proven to be a good listener and thoughtful problem solver. She is trained as an attorney and possesses strong analytical and negotiation skills. She is a former chair of the Montecito Associations Land Use Committee and of the Santa Barbara County Commission for Women; she is also a current member of the Montecito Board of Architectural Review. She is a graduate of Stanford and UCLA Law School. Abe Powell is a fiscally responsive former volunteer firefighter with fresh ideas who believes strongly in greater community transparency and active oversight. He is President of the Mountain Drive Community Association and director of Tea Fire Relief Services. Abe is an honors graduate of Vassar College and a business owner with proven management and financial skills. Gene Sinser is a current Montecito Association Board member and past Treasurer. He has sat through three terms on the County Grand Jury reviewing Special Districts for their fiscal soundness and efficiency. His career featured thirty years as Division Manager of two Fortune 500 food wholesalers, and twenty years as owner of his own business. Gene understands how to set funding priorities, create budgets and manage cost efficiencies. He is also counselor to SCORE, a division of the Small Business Administration, which lends expertise to new entrepreneurs. Gene has an accounting degree and has done post graduate work at UCLA and USC. Martha Collins lost her home in the Tea Fire, and for the past four years been a community liaison representing 13 families in their efforts to rebuild their neighborhood. She has actively participated in meetings and negotiations with Montecito Fire, the local water district and county government. Martha has developed a deep understanding of the necessary components of a strong and effective fire prevention and protection program. She is a UCSB graduate and has owned and managed her own businesses. Editors note: In addition to Bobs four picks above, both publisher Tim Buckley and MJ founder James Buckley wish to add the following: Mindy Denson is one of Montecitos most celebrated public figures; her boundless energy and enthusiasm have proven highly effective in getting people to work for a common cause. Her multiple terms as chair of the Montecito Associations Beautification Committee have been invaluable; she is also involved in the Santa Barbara Zoo, Wildlife Care and Girls Inc., so she too must be included in any voters short list.

Good Vibrations After All

he Beach Boys brouhaha which stunned fans when it was announced last week that three of the popular rockers were being unceremoniously dumped midway through their U.K. tour isnt what it seems, Im told. The groups front man Mike Love issued a statement that Brian Wilson, Al Jardine and David Marks the original rhythm guitarist who had not appeared with the group since 1963 would not be continuing their lengthy 50th Anniversary Reunion Tour. It was designed to be a set tour with a beginning and an end to mark a special fifty-year milestone for the band, says Love. But Wilson, 70, who is very much the musical maestro responsible for writing most of the bands early singles and albums, told CNN says he is disappointed and cant understand the situation. We are out having so much fun, he says. After all, we are the real Beach Boys. Already a fan letter of protest has been started to reunite the original members on the lengthy international tour which Jardine, 71, has linked through his Twitter account. Addressed to Love, the petition reads: In order to preserve the validity of The Beach Boys as a whole, and not as a money saving, stripped down version that only contains one original member, and one member that joined in 1965, we ask you to re-instate the other three members to the touring group for your final years performing. But Montecito based Beach Boy Bruce Johnston tells me from London all is not what it appears. Mike Love and I only agreed to fifty anniversary concerts, which included

This tour with the other original band members finished at the Royal Albert Hall and the Wembley Arena, which were both sell outs... The other surviving members of the original band have their own solo careers. But the good vibes between the founding members may not have come to an end, as the groups manager, Jay Jones, states: The guys are still talking about various ways they can continue to do various things together. As for Bruce, who celebrated his 70th birthday in June, he was back in California at the weekend performing a Beach Boys concert in San Diego. Stay tuned...

seems he still cannot avoid mentioning the war. In a new advert for an Israeli chocolate spread, John, 72, plays a U.S. army general, accidentally sanctioning an air strike by Israel. Sitting in a war room in Tel Aviv actually his new home in Monaco , Israeli officials, an ominous-looking red telephone in front of them, beg for permission to strike. We have a right to defend ourselves! they say, in a thinly veiled reference to Iran. General Cleese, however, is distracted by a pot of hazelnut chocolate spread, and tastes it. As if inspired, he replies using the name of the spread Sababa Egozim literally Great nuts, and akin to the English phrase, lets go nuts. The Israeli officials take this as the go-ahead, pick up the phone and order the missile strike. A sound of a missile launching is heard, but Cleeses character concentrates on licking his knife, a splodge of the spread left unnoticed on his nose Not everyone has found the advert funny, with some internet critics accusing it of being offensive and tasteless. But a spokesman for the New Yorkbased Anti-Defamation League says: This advert is little more than parody, and shouldnt be taken seriously.
John Cleese stars in controversial Israeli TV ad
While we do not think the subject is one that should be made light of, John Cleese is legendary for these kind of over-the-top shenanigans and we feel hes entitled to use it in this context. Fashion Foray Montecito philanthropist Irma Jurkowitz was given five-star treatment during New Yorks recent Fashion Week, sitting just feet away from famed Vogue editor Anna Wintour and meeting many of the top designers.

A Letter From north Korea

here is no country on earth, fortunately, comparable to the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, which combines the worst of the Nazi and Soviet models with a religious dedication to the Great Leader. The result is well beyond anything imagined by George Orwell. Military First is the national motto, linked with a philosophy of paranoia and isolationism. On arrival by air from Beijing, for example, cell phones are deposited with the security services at the airport. There is no internet service other than for a small circle of the ruling elite. It is possible to place phone calls outward but only from monitored phones in lobby communications desks at the major hotels. Citizens are not permitted to speak with foreigners and in the capital often avoid eye contact. It is not possible to leave the hotels without one of the assigned minders from the government. This restriction is strictly enforced. Under
a subsequently discontinued tourism program for South Koreans, a middleaged woman walked from a hotel near Diamond Mountain to see the sunrise and was shot dead by a guard. The DPRK is a closed system with controlled communications wherein the inmates have been incarcerated and brainwashed for three generations. There are really two North Koreas: Pyongyang with a population of about two million and the rest of the land with a population of about 22 million. Malnutrition and starvation exists in parts of the countryside from time to time. After a weak harvest, villagers may subsist on a diet of 10% corn and 90% grass. Villagers are oblivious to the more favorable conditions in the capital that is surrounded by roadblocks and troops. A permit is required to visit or to live in the capital, and these are highly valued for the opportunity to live in apartment houses, however rudimentary, and to have a food ration. Most have no hope of ever
Montecito resident Bill Loomis had the foresight to take along his copy of the latest Montecito Journal before leaving on a week-long visit to North Korea; behind him are giant statues of that countrys previous Great Leaders, Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il
being there, including anyone with a physical disability or with a disabled child. Mass Volunteerism But, Pyongyang is not Seoul. The apartment houses are mostly identical concrete structures with limited facilities, electric power for four or five hours a day, speakers for propaganda that cannot be turned off in residences and the obligation to volunteer periodically for construction or other mass projects. Transportation is public or on foot with hardly any bicycles (unlike other cities). There is one subway line with 17 stops and a couple of stations similar to Moscow in terms of grandeur. It is not unusual at the beginning or end of the workday to see bus lines of over 500 people. The avenues are broad and largely without cars or trucks creating the eerie feeling of a city devoid of activity. Another impression is the number of gigantic stone monuments to the previous two Great Leaders and propaganda posters (in Korean): We will fight and see who laughs last, and Think of Kim Il Sung even in your dreams. Even the very best restaurants have big screens constantly featuring propaganda films. Pyongyang also has the Arirang Mass Games wherein 100,000 performers (not a typo) perform propaganda acts on a field with another 20,000 in the stands opposite the audience holding up synchronized placards. Some of the performers are as young as four years old; all do nothing else and march away from the stadium in double time to their dorms while singing militaristic songs. There is an Arch Of Triumph deliberately 10 meters higher than the vastly more attractive inspiration from Paris, the worlds largest cone shaped building and the Mangyongdae Childrens Palace where 5,000 children practice skills from violin to martial arts. There is also the Grand Peoples Study House that is mostly without people.
The Armed American Spy Ship USS Pueblo, captured in international waters in 1968 and only armed with one 50-caliber machine gun, is docked in central Pyongyang on a river bank. The location was chosen as that is where the USS General Sherman ran aground in 1866. There is a debate outside North Korea whether the General Sherman was trying to open trade or deliver a missionary. In any case, the ship was burned and the crew was executed by the then rulers in what was even then the Hermit Kingdom. Access denied Children in Pyongyang are taken in droves to monuments to leave flowers by the statues of the Great Leaders. Until the age of 14, all are dressed identically in uniforms with signature red scarves. Thereafter, a child receives an enamel pin of one or more Great Leaders that is worn at all times throughout their lives other than if on a work detail in old clothes when, according to a diplomat, schools and offices are shut down and people work like ants swarming over construction projects. Access to the other North Korea, the countryside, is also restricted by the lack of any public transport, a deliberate decision. The only rail line runs from China to Pyongyang and then (unused) to the South Korean border. Other than to the DMZ, and most probably for military access, all the roads are concrete rather than asphalt. The primary highways have no villages alongside them. Visiting during a typhoon, one can see volunteers sawing logs by hand and carrying those away (no pictures allowed). The port city of Wonsan was heavily damaged by the typhoon during the visit. There were hundreds of volunteers working with hands on knees to clean up the damage and being overseen by army personnel. These ranged from women using ungloved hands to scrape up mud to schoolchildren doing manual labor. On the beach outside Wonsan, a 4 11 October 2012

MONTECITO JOURNAL
child was offered a chocolate by one of us. A minder immediately made a cell phone call whereupon soldiers appeared to take the child away. To where? Another child was on the beach in rags. She appeared to be about six years old by height and small hands but responded in Korean that she was 13 years old and an orphan. She was given a hat, whereupon another cell phone call delivered a squad of soldiers. The girl ran away until realizing that she could not outrun the army so turned and put on the hat before being slammed to the ground and dragged away. Similar stories are told by diplomats. One example is an ambassador visiting a class of four-year-old students outside the capital. The students would not answer questions and kept their eyes fixed on the teacher. When that diplomat asked the teacher to get the students to respond to a question, all did so in unison. The playground toys were wooden guns; the feature of the playground was a plywood tank with an American flag painted on its side. This is a society where, according to a DPRK publication, triplets and quads are donated to the State for upbringing. This is also a society where the elite can send their children abroad for education. The current Great Leader was educated at a Swiss boarding school. At the Beijing airport, favored North Koreans check luxury goods at the counters just as the Pyongyang markets have those shopping with rolls of hundred dollar bills. Most countries are visited to see sites and to talk with the people. The DPRK is again different than anywhere else on earth today. The impact is more about absorbing this post-Orwellian nightmare. That takes only about 24 hours. After several days, one thirsts for the polluted air of Beijing and its relatively appealing environment. Footnote: Books of possible interest are: Escape From Camp 14, Nothing To Envy, and The Orphan Masters Son. Also recommended is the DVD of the documentary: Crossing The Line, The story of Comrade Joe, the last American Defector in North Korea. Bill Loomis Montecito (Editors note: The Los Angeles based
Pacific Council on International Policy sent a delegation to North Korea at the end of August for about a week. Bill Loomis and the Councils president, Jerry Green, spent over a year arranging visas and other logistics for the trip. The delegation went to Pyongyang, the capital, the port city of Wonsan on the east coast, Nampho port on the west coast and the city of Kaesong and the Demilitarized Zone on the border with the Republic of South Korea. Mr. Loomis was the first CEO of Lazard LLC after the merger of the London, New York and Paris firms and served in that position from 1978 until 2004; before that he served as deputy CEO of Lazard Freres & Co. He sits on the board of directors of eight major international corporations, was on the Executive Committee at Laguna Blanca School from 2007 to 2010, and is involved in a number of local non-profits and charities, including the Westmont Foundation.)

Open Letter to Montecito
We the undersigned are the previous four Fire Chiefs of the Montecito Fire Protection District. Cumulatively, we have served the Montecito community for 111 years. We feel that the potential expansion of board members and their election to the Fire District Board is of significant importance to the community and to the Fire District. The Fire District is highly regarded by other agencies and fire service professionals throughout the country. We believe this is because of the Districts commitment to a very high level of service. This has been possible because of the ongoing partnership between the Fire District and the Montecito community. Since its founding in 1917, the Fire District has maintained a threemember board. They have served the community diligently and without fanfare. During this time the Board has addressed many challenges and, most importantly, succeeded in keeping the Montecito Fire Protection District independent and serving the Montecito community. The Montecito community has important decisions to make in this election. For the first time residents will consider increasing the size of the Fire Board to five members. In

his week brings the opening of two new stores at Montecito Country Mart, formerly known as the Vons Shopping Center. Cathy Mogulls Summerland Mercantile and high-end pet retailer George are the latest stores to open their doors in the village. Summerland Mercantile was open for business on Wednesday, October 3. Owner Cathy Mogull founded the company in 2010, and has operated a vintage emporium from her Summerland home ever since. I couldnt pass up this space, she told us. Its the perfect size and location for me. The shop features her vintage finds, from an array of milk glass, vintage linens, vases, candles,

Mogull, the former Director of Retail Operations and Merchandising for the Shabby Chic brand, also offers open air markets and crafting workshops from her home, which she hopes to incorporate in her store.

Committed to you. And all our neighbors.

We dont just work in this community, we live here, too. Thats why were committed to keeping local traditions alive, and as well soon be uniting with Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, its even more important that we do our part. Weve celebrated at Old Spanish Days Fiesta in Santa Barbara, helped bring back the Monterey 4th of July Parade, and gotten in touch with our wild side at the Santa Barbara Zoos Zoofari Ball. While traditions like these are lots of fun, they also do a lot of good for local businesses and nonprofitsas well as boost local spirit. Of course, there are other ways a bank can support its communities. So Union Bank also commits millions of dollars and thousands of volunteer hours to local philanthropic causes that support education, economic development, the environment, the arts, human services, and more. Its the right thing to doafter all, its our home.

During lunch we were treated to an informal fashion show from Lana Marm, whose boutique is located in the upper village. Her outfits were all the more stunning because of the collection of the latest chapeaux that all the models were wearing. The lovelies were Joan Crossland, Nancy Wall, Lisa Moore, Eileen Mielko, Hope Kelly and Nina Katsev. They were getting in practice for the Hats Off Luncheon being given on February 12.

The Arts Fund continues to tweak imaginations with its various exhibitions. The latest was a duel exhibition of Richard Dunlap and Daniel Lentz, who have known each other since 1969 when they both taught at UCSB. There was also duel art for your senses because they combined music with their art, or sound art. They are musicians, composers and artists. Board president Shirley Dettmann introduced Dunlap and Lentz at the private gallery talk just before their exhibition ended. Gallery executive director Catherine Gee moderated. They gave the select audience samples of the sounds that supported their art and were open to questions. The Funk Zone is coming into its own and the Arts Funds next show is the Funk Zone Charrette Exhibition from September 28 to October 20, right in the heart of the area. On display is creative designs of the potential future of the Funk Zone envisioned by local architects, artists and community members.

The Land Trust
The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County recently invited major donors and the Board of Trustees to the Montecito Country Club for a celebratory evening. What were they celebrating? The generous contributions that saved Hot Springs Canyon from development. Amid mingling and meeting, sipping wine and eating canaps, executive director Michael Feeney gave us a progress report. The property was owned by seven siblings who finally came down from $18 million to $7.6 million for the land. Our granddaughter will be able to walk the trails as long as she can. Part of the acreage (422 acres) will be deeded to Los Padres National Forest and the Land Trust will keep 40 acres. The campaign was sparked by a very large donation from Marilyn and Dick Mazess and continued with donations from one hundred different folks. The Land Trust is a non-profit,

Healing Adventures Summerland travel scribe and filmmaker Paul Froemming, who writes a popular column in innumerable newspapers and magazines, has just launched his latest tome, Healing Adventures: Wellness Getaways for Health & Happiness.
Irma Jurkowitz at New Yorks Seventh on Sixth fashion event
She and her husband, Morrie, won the luxury style package when they bid a hefty $17,000 at last years Dream Foundation Gala, which featured runway fashion by Manhattan designer Donna Karan, who was at the event with her good friend, singer Barbra Streisand. I studied fashion at Syracuse and I just had to have it, laughs Irma. It was just so me! She and Morrie, accompanied by their daughter, Jill Levinson, flew first class on American Airlines to Kennedy bumping into cast members from ABCs hit show Dancing With the Stars and spent their week at the luxury hostelries, the Peninsula just a tiaras toss or two from Saks Fifth Avenue and the Regency. Morrie isnt very into fashion, so he spent most of the time visiting friends and relatives, but Jill and I took in five shows, part of the Seventh on Sixth event. Needless to say, Donna Karans show was wonderful and we were sitting in the front row just a short distance from Anna Wintour. Donna came over and said hello, and was very friendly and nice. We also went to Monique Lhuilliers show she did the wedding dress for director Ivan Reitmans daughter , Marc Jacobs which was attended by Michael Douglas and his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones , and Ralph Lauren. But all is not as glittering as it looks on television, notes Irma. There is a lot of waiting and it is all over so quickly. Her prize package also included a dinner party for six at the Armand Hammer Gallery surrounded by priceless art, donated by Montecito auto collector, Michael Hammer, and a $2,500 gift card from Saks. There were so many things I didnt have time to do, including a number of Broadway shows I wanted to see, says Irma. But Ill catch up when Im in New York again for a wedding in November. I still have the gift card as well. The Voice of the Village

Birthday Buddies It was ten years ago that State Street Ballet board member Arlyn Goldsby and friends started to celebrate their birthdays with a twist. We really wanted them to be unique and something to remember, says Arlyn, who also owns the exotic Coast Village Road emporium, Objects. Venues have included the zoo, a dancing school, a fire station and even an Indian restaurant, where the birthday girls tried out their belly dancing skills. Were an eclectic group with innovative events, always trying to come up with something that inspires. Last week I was called into service at Eladios when Jill Bellowe celebrated her big day and interviewed the guests, including Joan Selwyn, Sue Colin, Alex Nourse, Leslie and Lee Luria, Teresa McWilliams and Leslie Ridley-Tree. We wanted someone new and memorable to entertain us, adds Arlyn. I may indeed have been new, but Im not quite so sure on how memorable... Volleyball Victory Cafe Del Sols second official volleyball tournament was a hotly contested event between last years victors, the Sand Snakes and the Patriots formerly called the Sand Commandos. The Snakes, under the athletic tutelage of Jim Clive, lost the closely played best of five games tournament at East Beach to Gary Cummins and his team, which included Steve Crawford, Kyler Barbie, Jim Brandeland, Dakota McIntyre and Martha Salcedo, winning the Sears Perpetual Volleyball Championship Trophy. Some games were closer than others, but it was a very entertaining three hours, with players and spectators aged twelve to ninety, says organizer Trish Davis. Some of us spent more time in the sand than on it!

addition, since this is the first time any of us can remember having so much community interest in serving on the Fire Board, constituents will have important choices to make. We are aware that currently there are some hot topics out there, however, we offer that the most important issue the Fire District will ever face is to continue to provide a high level of service while warding off any challenges to the Districts independence. Newly elected Board members will need to invest time and energy to gain a working knowledge and historical perspective on the issues impacting special districts in general and specifically those issues affecting the Montecito Fire Protection District. The Boards challenges are far more complex than discussions on a few hot topics. Fire protection is complicated and so is the political atmosphere a small special district faces locally and statewide. We have researched the candidates and though we find them all to be very professional people with great accomplishment in each of their fields, we would like to offer should the Montecito community choose to expand the number of Fire Board members our choices for the four board positions. We urge you to vote for: Martha Collins, Mindy Densen, Roland Roy Jensen, and Warner Owens. Kevin Wallace, Fire Chief, 20062012 Ron McClain, Fire Chief, 2000-2006 Herbert C.

LETTERS (Continued from page 9)
Open Letter to the Santa Barbara County Republican Central Committee
Re: Measures A and B Dear Central Committee Members: It is my understanding that you will consider a position on Measures A and B in the Santa Barbara Unified School
District at your upcoming meeting. I would strongly encourage you to adopt a position of support on these measures. Measures A and B are supported by many Republicans with involvement in the schools. These include as ballot argument signatories in support of the measures Jean Blois (past Goleta School Board Member, Goleta City Council Member and president of the Santa Barbara County Taxpayers Association), Phil Bugay (past Santa Barbara City Council Member and president of the Santa Barbara Public Education Fund), and myself. In addition, past Taxpayers Association president Mike Stoker supports these measures. In June, two similar measures were placed on the ballot and almost received two-thirds of the vote. Similarly, Measures A and B will be supported by the overwhelming majority of voters; the question is whether they will reach 66.67 percent support or merely 65 or 66 percent. Santa Barbara is a strongly propublic-education community. Of the 180,000 residents in the Santa Barbara Unified School District, about onethird (60,000) are public school students at UCSB, Santa Barbara City College or one of the public school districts within the Santa Barbara Unified School District. Additional tens of thousands of Santa Barbara Unified School District residents are family members of public school students or work for public schools. Perhaps two in three residents of the Santa Barbara Unified School District are either students in public schools, work in public schools or have an immediate family member who attends or works in public schools. Moreover, the Santa Barbara Unified School District is a genuinely exemplary school district. Funds are wellmanaged and spent as intended, both with respect to program and capital expenditures. Academically, there is a very close relationship between the Santa Barbara Unified School District and Santa Barbara City College. About
half of local high school students take community college courses while they are in high school, and about half of local high school students enroll in Santa Barbara City College after they graduate from high school. More than 50 percent of graduates from the Santa Barbara Unified School Districts high schools meet the University of Californias eligibility requirements compared to 34 percent for the rest of Santa Barbara County. When it comes to the SAT, 11th and 12th graders in the Santa Barbara Unified School District score more than 50 points higher in all SAT college entrance exams compared to the rest of the state of California. Measures A and B would provide desperately needed local funds for local elementary and secondary schools. This would include musical programs in elementary schools; maintenance of class sizes that foster academic success; updated computer and educational technologies; math, science and technology programs in secondary schools; art and theater programs; foreign language courses; and vocational education. These programs would no longer exist without the passage of these measures. Measures A and B are exactly the sort of taxes that are appropriate: They are local, they are of limited duration (four years), they are for targeted expenditures, there is a citizens oversight committee, and there is an exemption for seniors. Again, I encourage you to take a position of support in favor of Measures A and B. Sincerely, Lanny Ebenstein, Ph.D President, California Center for Public Policy
maximum exposure for medical costs. Wrong. I have since found out that some medical expenses are not covered by Medicare or supplemental insurance, and that some of those out-of-pocket expenses dont count towards the deductible. For example a $3,300 CAT scan was only partially covered by Medicare and not covered at all by Anthem. Not only did I have to pay a sizable difference, but the amount I paid was not applied toward my $2,000 Anthem deductible. Bottom line: I pay for Medicare and supplemental insurance, but I still have, apparently, unlimited liability. Other insurance companies may engage in similar fine print deception. Meanwhile, people with no insurance can walk into an emergency room and get free health care. Anyone else tired of being a chump? On another Medicare matter, I received two bills, months apart, from a prosthetic supplier for the same service. While I was only required to pay once, I notified Anthem of the double bills. I recently received notice that the supplier was being requested to repay close to $2,000 to Medicare for overpayment. Assuming this was an honest mistake that may have been eventually corrected, how many such mistakes go uncorrected, at taxpayers expense? In the four years Ive been a Medicare beneficiary, Ive seen my costs go up and benefits go down every year. Which leads me to proclaim the following self evident truth: the longer a government program exists, the worse it gets. Steve Close Carpinteria

Lets see, now: A monstrous national debt that for the first time in our 4 11 October 2012
history exceeds the value of our yearly Gross Domestic Product, and over the past three years has been growing by more than $1 trillion a year. Democrat voters see nothing wrong or out of the ordinary about borrowing $30 out of every $100 the federal government spends to underwrite a growing plethora of entitlement benefits paid monthly to a rapidly increasing army of dependent people who in turn use this money to underwrite their modest existence. This is more than a mere redistribution of wealth. It would be a simple redistribution of wealth if all the transfer monies came from hard current tax revenues. But thats not whats happening: we are borrowing money from people who are buying our government bonds so that we can continue to send monthly entitlement checks to people who are not working and paying taxes in order that they can pay rent, buy food, pay for a free Obama cell phone and get free birth-control pills. This is beyond a simple redistribution of wealth. We are forcing generations yet-to-be born to pay the cost through interest payments and eventually the principal of everybody today laying back in their hammocks and enjoying the sunshine. Do only Republicans sense the immorality of setting up a system that encourages people to exist off the efforts of others, even those not yet on this earth? Surely the average Democrat voter can understand that a nation that cant save money, due to extremely low interest rates, and punishes people who do work and wish to run small businesses with exponentially increasing regulations and higher taxes is not sustainable. Unsustainable means that at some point more people are going to opt not to work than work, and the supply of hard cash to pay the interest and principal on the debt and all the monthly unearned direct deposits will wither away and dry up. The results of unsustainability will occur in due time if the American People dont come together and put a halt to the forward speed of the train leading everybody to catastrophe. Democrats: cant you see that all Team Obama wants the women of America to think about is that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will deprive them of a free source of birth-control pills? Dont you sense at some level that theres really something a lot more crucial and basic at stake in this election than birth-control pills? Hasnt it occurred to you that Team Obama is saying all you really care about is having sex and not having babies? Arent they taking you for a pretty shallow and crass group of people, with no impulses above sexual ones? 4 11 October 2012
Vote for Obama-Biden and well speed up that entitlement train as we travel to Nirvana. Forget those meanies that would steal candy from a baby and take away your Obama phones. Theres no chronic underlying economic problems as long as we can force those selfish creeps making over $200,000 a year to cough up their fair share. Who do they think they are? The bounty of America and the booty for loyal Democrats will always be there. Dont listen to those Republican doomsayers with their prophecies of Armageddon! America became wealthy over a period of 300 or so years because people worked their butts off and spent less than they earned, and this ethic was reflected also at the three levels of government. People didnt project they were going to earn ten dollars next year, so, lets go ahead and spend fifteen dollars today. No, thats something Baby Boomers invented and foisted on the rest of us. And, you know what? Its not sustainable! We cant go on forever living the way were living now. Which means, at some point, weve got to change our formulas for living. David S. McCalmont Santa Barbara

An Americans Creed
The Continuing Saga
These inspiring words by Dean Alfange were published in The Readers Digest over fifty years ago, and the traditional American attitudes expressed were widely accepted at that time as the source of our countrys greatness. Today they sound like some alien language from outer space. I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon, if I can. I seek opportunity, not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build; to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia. I will not trade my freedom for beneficence; nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to
MO
think and act for myself and to enjoy the benefit of my creations. To face the world boldly and say, This I have done. All this is what it means to be an American. Whatever happened to that attitude? If this Creed were written today, it would go something like this: An American Bureaucrats Creed I dare not be an uncommon man. Individuals who are different, even if they excel, are targets of envy, ridicule and possible punishment. If I produce too much, other union members around me will be angry and vindictive. I shall blend in and be part of the group. My only route to success must be to flatter and defer to those in power. Rather than making waves, I will simply serve time with no serious mistakes attributable to me. There is little opportunity but a lot of security. They will take care of all my problems, forever. I will bend and cower before any authority, violate any pledge or do whatever else is necessary for any master in order to survive. Pride, Freedom and Dignity are no longer important. All this is what it now means to be an American Bureaucrat. (Exaggerated? I dont think so.) Chuck Stersic Santa Barbara MJ

If at first you do succeed, try to hide your astonishment. I have reprised my singing career and actually got a gig singing at a blues club in Oakland right out of the box. My stage name was Silke Berlinn, which everyone in the music biz knows me as, so guess I have to stick with it.
In an election season dominated by economic questions, this presentation will suggest that religious factors are activelythough perhaps less obviouslyshaping the candidates, campaigns, commentary and voters in the current presidential election. The talk will explore the interrelation of religion and party affiliation in the electorate, the salience of religion-specific issues (such as the Health and Human Services mandate regarding insurance coverage of contraception), the way in which religious subcultures have shaped the the character and leadership of candidates, religious dimensions of foreign policy, and ways in which candidates theology relates to public policy.

Save the Date for Beautification Day
Saturday, November 3 is Montecito Associations 27th annual Beautification Day; expect to see volunteers in and about the community, picking up garbage along vari-
ous clean-up routes. Per tradition, Mindy Denson and her committee are in full swing planning the popular event as it nears. This years committee includes Elisa Atwill, Darlene Bierig, Helen Buckley, Caryl Crahan, LeAnn Madden, Dana and Andrea Newquist, Nina Terzian, Jo and Willard Thompson, Birgit Gutscher, Dana Hansen, Jean von Wittenburg, John and Christy Venable, and Chris Denson. This years theme is A Sign of the Times, as the event will honor Montecitos iconic yet low-key signage. The committee has opted for chocolate brown t-shirts this year, with white lettering similar to the street signs in Montecito, maintained by Montecito Trails Foundation and Paul Musgrove. The committee has also designed Montecito hats, which will be available for purchase at the event. Upon arrival at the Village Green the first Saturday of November, volunteers will be treated to a continental breakfast provided by Montecito Country Club, after which they will pick up their t-shirts and trash collector kits and head out to clean various areas of Montecito. Pickup routes include streets, trails, roads, onramps, cul-de-sacs, byways, bridges and beaches. At 11 am, volunteers will reconvene at the Village Green for the awards presentation; Montecito homeowners will be honored with awards in sustainable landscape, charming cottage, entryway, festive mailboxes and holiday decor. Although the name of this years Citizen of the Year has not yet been released, that person will be honored at the event as well. This years theme colors are those of the sunflower; the Green will be adorned with bright yellow dcor, with flower arrangements donated by Gazebo Flowers. Montecito Firefighters will be on hand serving their Five Alarm Chili, hot dogs, salad, and homemade chocolate chip cookies, made by the Beautification Committee. Bluegrass band Glendessary Jam will be back to provide the musical entertainment. During and after lunch, informational tables hosted by local organizations will be set up for guests to

For the last 15 years, Jennifer Sanan has handpicked some of Europes most prized antiques to display in her Montecito shop, located on the pharmacy property on San Ysidro Road. Sanan, with her soft South African accent, is well known about town for bringing her sophisticated simplicity to the antique community, and has helped furnish some of Montecitos most well known estates. Because the store is small, Im very selective, Sanan told us during a recent visit to the shop, which is light and open, with white wainscoting on the walls, sea grass carpeting, and many windows which open to the patio and garden. She travels to Europe two to three times a year, handpicking elegant pieces that reflect the beach cottage style of Montecito. Country House Antiques carries an array of French, Scandinavian and

Sanan adds a touch of home to the 500-sq-ft space with bud vases filled with roses and hydrangea from her own garden. Sanan and her husband, Denis, have lived in Montecito for 25 years, and after their kids left the nest, Mrs. Sanan, a retired librarian, wanted to try her hand selling antiques, which had always been a passion.

Montecito Associations Land Use Committee reviewed plans for Fire Station 3 for the fifth time on Tuesday, in order to prepare comments to the full MA board, which will then be sent on to Montecito Planning Commission. A group of agents from MFPD outlined the revised plans, which were conceptually approved by Montecito Board of Architectural Review on August 27. They will be in front of Montecito Planning Commission on October 24. Architect Suzette Naylor reported small changes to the plans from July, when the committee last saw them. The station, set to be built on the 2500 block of East Valley Road, consists of parking, living quarters, administrative offices, apparatus bays, a 35-foot hose-drying tower, and two driveways to be used for ingress and egress for fire vehicles and two-way for civilian vehicles. Montecito Fire Chief Chip Hickman said there are many reasons the district needs to build the station, including reducing the response time for the eastern portion of the district, an increase in living quarters to have more staff on duty, and a reduction in the reliance on mutual aid from nearby stations during an emergency. The station, which will cost an estimated $850,000 per year to operate, will also serve as a training area for firefighters. This is the training component that our district has needed for so long, Chief Hickman said. We want to be proactive, and build it before the area becomes more populated; its not going to get any cheaper to build or any easier with the neighbors.
Landscape architect David Black showed a model of the station, which features mature trees to screen the property. Black had originally planned to add a fruit grove in keeping with the historical use of the property, but the Jackson family, who owns the rest of the parcel, was not happy with that idea. Current plans now show six fruit trees to be planted, to show a remnant reference to the propertys historical use, said Black. The landscaping will be drought tolerant, sustainable, and a model for defensible space guidelines. Sycamore trees will be planted to screen the tower element. Committee member Tom Bollay asked Black about adding oak trees to the design, but Black said the trees canopy should not be close to buildings. We want to be sensitive to the defensible space guidelines, and be a model for those guidelines, Black answered. Mary Rose, Joe Cole and Marc Chytilo spoke at the meeting, representing Montecito Agricultural Foundation, which is a newly formed group comprised of three neighbors who are unhappy with the plans for Fire Station 3. Montecito Agricultural Foundation has filed a lawsuit against the District, charging that the EIR for the project was inadequate. We feel that the project should be redesigned and re-looked at, said Cole. He questioned the need for a five-minute response time, budget issues, and the fact that the upcoming MFPD board election in November would put several new members on the board who lack the experience on making major decisions about Fire Station 3. Do not rush this, it is so important. Wait until after the election and make sure you understand
Fire Station 3 landscape architect David Black explains his landscape plan to Montecito Associations Land Use Committee
all the consequences, Cole said. MFPDs attorney, Susan Basham, responded that the lawsuit, which was filed in May, is on its own track, and is completely separate from the planning process. Do not be distracted by the lawsuit, she said. The planning commission would like to have your input. The Land Use Committee voiced concern over the property being used as a training facility, and questioned whether the residential area surrounding the station would be conducive to that type of activity. I must admit it does concern me, said committee member John Watson. Bollay also weighed in, adding that moving the training to one of the other two Montecito stations would reduce

The Academys grounds manager reported that a storage shed on the property had been broken into; a pressure washer and a wet/dry vacuum were stolen. According to the police report, several other thefts were reported in the area on the night of Saturday, September 22. A report was taken.
Jewelry Stolen from Montecito Hotel
Wednesday, 26 September, 11:12 pm Deputy Delgadillo was dispatched to a hotel on Channel Drive to meet with a guest who reported that jewelry was stolen from her hotel room. The woman said she and her husband had checked into the hotel two nights before, and she wore her jewelry the night before the theft. She had placed the now missing necklace, along with two pendants, on the shelf in the hotel rooms closet. She alerted hotel security, and said she had checked the entire room several times but the necklace could not be located. A report was taken; the necklace and pendants were valued at $775.

grading, pavement and intensity of use on the property. Chief Hickman responded: We are conscious of our neighbors, I dont see it being an issue, he said. The Land Use Committee passed a motion to suggest to the full MA board that they send a letter asking MPC to review the appropriateness of the training facility and associated uses on the property, and ask that the district do what it can to increase visual shielding to further screen the property. The project will be in front of the full MA board next week, and before MPC on October 24.
Last week, the Land Trust for Santa Barbara County released a statement clarifying the status of the mineral spring water that exists in Hot Springs Canyon on a 462-acre property purchased by the Land Trust in March of this year. Woody Jackson, an advocate of the healing powers of mineral spring water, has brought up the status of the mineral spring water, and the communitys access to it, at several recent meetings. According to Michael Feeney, the Land Trusts executive director, the hot mineral water that comes from springs in the canyon has been collected and used both on and off the property by previous owners and other parties since the mid-1800s. Since 1990, the Montecito Creek Water Company, a private company operating under a legal agreement made with previous landowners, has captured the spring water in pipes and sold it to approximately 38 residences for landscape irrigation. The Land Trust acquired the prop-

erty subject to the Water Companys rights and obligations under that 1990 agreement. Since Hot Springs Canyon was purchased earlier this year, there have been no changes to the existing water system operated by the Montecito Creek Water Company, which is entitled to use the water it captures from the springs. Feeney says it is the Land Trusts understanding that the Water Company uses all of the captured water during the summer when demand is high, but that for most of the year a portion of the captured water is released back into the creek. Under the 1990 agreement, the property owner is entitled to claim 50% of the spring water for the owners use, after giving 180-day legal notice to the Water Company, terminating its right to use that 50%. By the end of 2012, the Land Trust expects to convey most of the property, including the location of the mineral springs, to the United States Forest Service for long-term stewardship as part of Los Padres National Forest. The Forest Service will then be in a position to decide how to manage the 50% of the spring water that it will own. Releasing mineral spring water could provide environmental benefits to the creek environment. However, this is not a decision that can be made lightly. It will require a careful assessment of the legal, environmental, and public health and safety implications, Feeney says. The Land Trust believes that the Forest Service, as the intended longterm manager of this land, is the appropriate agency to decide how the 50% of the spring water that may become available upon 180 days notice may be put to beneficial public use.

Brain Pruning
emember the good old days when toothpaste was thick and creamy, and the tubes were made of lovely metallic material that would stay in any configuration you squeezed it into? The biggest problem in those times was if you were the sort who rolled from the bottom, but you had a spouse who liked to squeeze it in the middle. Now toothpaste comes in plastic tubes that return to the original shape after every use. At first this sounds like an innovation that would greatly reduce the skyrocketing divorce rate. Unfortunately, as the plastic tube empties, either you get nothing, or a flood of the stuff squirts out and lands on your shoe. If I were sensible, Id just throw a mostly empty tube away and open a fresh one. However, Im from Nebraska where no one wastes perfectly good toothpaste. So Im compelled to struggle with the half empty tube. Half the time I get nothing, and this morning I end up with a giant glop of spearmint gel dripping down the bathroom mirror. I say bad words, clean up the mess, and then our dogs decide to bark at our neighbor whos innocently starting his car to go to work. Seven in the morning is not a great time to have your pooches disturbing the peace. I make more noise shouting at them. I sound all too much like my first grade teacher who used to yell at me because I didnt hide my horror at having to learn arithmetic. What the heck was her name? Now that Im outside, I notice our rose bushes need pruning. I get my clippers and start snipping, because when I prune roses my mind clears. Thats exactly what happens this morning. With each snip of a spent rose Im calmer, as if Im trimming out grumpy areas of my brain. Supposedly, healthy human brains regularly self-prune weak synaptic connections, usually in areas that are seldom used. Middle-aged people talk about having senior moments. When I forget something like the name of my crabby first grade teacher, I imagine a little gardener in my brain lopping off weak synaptic branches. Today I have to get firm with this tiny guy and say, Hey, give me that back. And he says, You havent thought of that old teacher in years. Forget her, already. Youd put those brain cells to better use figuring out your iPhone. And I say, I want to remember her 4 11 October 2012
name, damn it. My cheeky brain gardener gets all huffy now, as if hes the only one in the world who knows how to prune my brain properly. He hops in his old rust bucket of an imaginary pickup, saying, Take this job and shove it. I know later hell sneak back and replace the memory he trimmed. Ill wake in the middle of the night thinking of my teacher, Miss Henning, and the way she had her hair in a bun, just like the one I have now. She wore her stockings rolled and refused to torture herself with a girdle like other ladies who squeezed themselves into them. Sometimes Id rather not be old enough to remember girdles and rolled stockings and all those things posted on Facebook with

a caption to click like if you know what it is. My little brain pruner mightve been right to snip that memory of Miss Henning so I could pretend I was still 20-something and that no grocery clerk had ever said, Maam youre holding up the line, while I dug in my purse for exact change. Still, there are advantages to being a lady who wears a bun. The other evening I helped to lock up a building where a club I belong to meets. We set the alarm per usual, and then the door jammed as we tried to lock it. When we unjammed it, the alarm went off. The other person went inside to look for the number to call. I waited outside for the police, hoping we wouldnt be arrested for burglary. A black and white pulled up within minutes. Out jumped a cop who looked no more than 11. He looked nervous, as if he were about to turn in arithmetic homework to Miss Henning. Had a little trouble locking up, officer. Weve called the alarm company, I said. Excellent. He rolled his eyes and walked back to his cruiser. The kid in a uniform cracked me up. This is definitely one memory I dont want to prune. MJ
he 1920s and 30s were exciting times for book publishing in the U.S. and Europe. This was thanks in no small measure to a technique that had begun to emerge a hundred years earlier, most notably from a short, wiry woman whose influences and popularity are still felt today. The technique was given the name stream-of-consciousness, a narrative device that shoved the author out of the way. No longer could the author explain and tell events. He or she had to defer to the intimate, often revealing thoughts and agendas of the characters. The writer, who made such early, precocious use of the technique, although not its inventor, was Jane Austen. Readers in Europe and the U.K. were being drawn to such stream-of-consciousness writers as Virginia Woolf and James Joyce. The go-to American writer, soon to become a Nobel Laureate in literature, was William Faulkner, who began his experimenting with the technique in an electrifying novel, The Sound and the Fury. Soon thereafter, Faulkner produced in an intense, six-week burst of effort, a short novel featuring stream-of-consciousness vignettes from fifteen characters that comes close to perfection. As I Lay Dying appeared in 1930, at first attracting more writers than conventional readers, but all the while gathering momentum. Most of the characters in the novel are members of the Bundren family, struggling to make ends meet from their farming efforts, in many ways suffering the fall out of the Civil War and Reconstruction. She who, as the title suggests, lay dying, is Addie Bundren, the matriarch of the family. The arc of the story consists of Addies son, Cash, building a coffin for her, followed by the transportation via mule and wagon to the cemetery in Jefferson, forty miles from the Bundren farm. This funereal transportation would have been chore enough without intervention of the weather working against the corpse in the coffin, or the river to be forded, but Faulkner has made these forty miles fraught with biblical and classical obstacles and ongoing individual agendas. There is, for example, the yearning desire of the widower, Anse Bundren, for a pair of false teeth. Before long, there is a revelation of an out-of-wedlock pregnancy, the purchase of a horse, the growing awareness that one of the Bundren children has not been fathered by Anse, and the suspicion that characters we think might have

some sense of being grounded and capable are not on firm footing. As if to illustrate the intensity of natural and personal forces, there is at least one barn burning. Grim as some of the circumstances are, they provide opportunity for the dark humor to come from the values and aspirations of this remarkable ensemble cast of family and neighbors. Faulkner, largely self-educated, had an enormous background in classical reader. Although As I Lay Dying stands on solid dramatic grounds, with an enhanced, accelerating sense of a clock ticking against deadline, and with frequent, dazzling cliffhangers, readers with some awareness of classics will be rewarded by the guffaw-laden potentials for reference. Compare the funeral procession with the pilgrimage in The Canterbury Tales. Dont forget the title, itself, which comes from The Iliad, where the central figure Odysseus travels to the Underworld to visit the recently dead Agamemnon, who speaks the words As I lay dying, then references crossing a river to reach the underworld. Think also who Agamemnons girlfriend was, who was more or less the last straw for pushing Agamemnons wife, Clytemnestra, to murdering him. You guessed the girlfriend was Cassandra, right? You know, Cassandra who had the gift of prophecy except no one would believe her. Okay, compare Cassandra with Darl, the oldest of the Bundren children. Darl knows things, but cannot always handle what he knows. And think to compare Addie Bundrens thoughts as she lay dying with the innermost thoughts of Molly Bloom in James Joyces version of The Odyssey, his own Ulysses. Addie, once a schoolteacher, delivers a magisterial essay on the mendacity of language, which, compared with her sons use of language, could be the literary equivalent of watching the Williams sisters, slugging it out on the tennis court. As I Lay Dying is a stunning braid of language, narrative skill, story, and understanding of the human species. It is set in a mythical landscape Faulkner brought us back to again and again, showing us something fresh each time. MJ MONTECITO JOURNAL

Re:Vision Paseo Nuevos Center Stage Theater was a sell-out when the two-year-old Nebula Dance Lab presented Re:Vision, featuring choreography by Devyn Duex and Emily Tatomer, who dances with the company. The three works, Snapshots, Sand Into Glass and Take the Bull by the Horns, explored perception, memory and sensation to a variety of music, including the late legendary jazz singer Nina Simone, which added immeasurably to the performance. Tatomers abstract, almost ethereal, choreography with the eight dancers was a joy to watch. It is to be hoped we see more, much more, in due course... Tasty Tidbits At the Lobero it was definitely food for thought when Santa Barbara playwright Nancy Nufers comedy Food Confessions had its world premiere. The show, which would not be out of place on the Food Network, concentrates on peoples close connection with food and how what we eat affects relationships. Veteran actress Nufer began writing the script many years back after hearing a rant by a friend about macaroni and cheese, which she thought ideal for a monologue in a theatrical setting, and then added more anecdotes to the mix. They all come wonderfully to the fore with actors Devin Scott, Robert Lesser, Dan Gunther, Kara Revel and Nufer under the direction of Jenny Sullivan and producer Rod Lathim. Scenic designer Thomas Giamario used the space well with a pop artinspired backdrop adding nicely to the menu. It was a delicious performance that, like Oliver Twist, had us asking for more...

Montecito Diary
s it approaches its 25th anniversary next year, its a busy time at Storyteller Childrens Center, a preschool for homeless children in Santa Barbara. While nearly 70 children happily skip around the playground, volunteers and staff are planning the centers annual gala fundraiser, collaborating with other non-profits in town, and recruiting dynamic new members to the board. If busy times call for a busy leader, then Storyteller has found its perfect leader: Tiffany Foster, a hands-on Montecito mom and the new board president of Storyteller and chair of its fundraising gala. Foster, 45, an Australian who graduated from Harvard Business School, had a successful corporate career in Boston and Sydney before moving to Montecito nearly 10 years ago with her husband, Frank, and three children. When she isnt shuttling her children to the different schools they attend or to one of the many sporting activities they participate in, she is often chairing a meeting at Storyteller or explaining a spreadsheet of mathematical projections she has built. Recently, shes spent countless hours planning the Storyteller gala, to be held on October 20 at the Bacara Resort and Spa with the theme of 2012: The Year of the Water Dragon. She is just a bundle of energy, said Suzanne Garrett, shortly after meeting with Foster one morning recently to talk about auction ideas for the gala. She barely gets one idea out

of her mouth, and then another great idea comes tumbling out. Shes like the Energizer bunny. Before her recent election as board president, Foster served on the Storyteller board for seven years, chairing several committees and serving as chief budget analyst for the organization. One of her early accomplishments on the board was building a 10-year projection of income and

expenses to help the board decide whether to move forward with an expansion to a second school. More importantly, she was able to explain it to fellow board members in an understandable way. Shes incredibly organized and has so many different skills, whether it be at math, or people skills, or communicating, or having a creative vision, said Yvette Giller, who chaired Storytellers expansion campaign and worked closely with Foster during that time. She has a passion for Storyteller, and its contagious. She really does everything out of the goodness of her heart. One of the people most thankful for Fosters energy and talent is Terri Allison, Storytellers executive director. Tiffany is the perfect cutting-edge thinker to support the innovative program Storyteller is offering, she said. She has always stepped up and filled leadership roles whenever she was needed. At the same time that Foster was elected board president, four new board members, all from Montecito or Carpinteria, were elected to the board of directors. They include: Ned Doubleday, managing director of Certis Capital Management; Alixe Mattingly, former vice president for communications and marketing for the Santa Barbara Foundation; Dinah

Calderon, former advertising director for Santa Barbara Magazine; and Michelle Montez Fisher, a former assistant city attorney for the City of Santa Barbara. Were honored that so many talented and experienced people were interested in joining our board, said Foster, who helped recruit many of the new members in personal meetings, where at least on one occasion she was asked to explain her famed spreadsheets in detail. In addition to her responsibilities at Storyteller and as a mom, Foster is also CEO of her own video production company, a board member of a family business, and a member of a competitive tennis team at Knollwood Tennis Club. She and her daughter actively participate in National Charity League events as well. Foster is most proud of the successful work being done at Storyteller with homeless children, many of whom have experienced trauma early in their young lives. One of Storytellers collaborations is with CALM, which provides counseling to the children, their families and teachers on a regular basis, but especially in times of crisis. Storyteller is also working with UCSB on a study to track the report cards of Storyteller graduates through the third grade to see how they perform compared to their peers. Weve collected a lot of data, and what it shows so far is that our programs are really working, both while the children are at our school, and then even after they leave our school, said Foster, who then put on her strategic thinking cap. The results are awesome, and were seeing such amazing progress, but the real question is: how do we leverage this knowledge into the community of Santa Barbara? How can we help many, many more children? For more information about Storyteller, or to buy tickets to the Storyteller gala on October 20, contact Melissa Walker at (805) 682-9585.

Brothers Luigi Crisa and Giuseppe Criso with Joe Campanelli from UNICO, demonstrating the Forno Classico hand-made wood-fire brick ovens
he Italian-American service club UNICO had a recent meeting at the beautiful home of Joe and Paula Campanelli and my long time pal Joe had invited me. (Okay, full disclosure... so I am not exactly Italian, but I am an honorary member of the Italian Boot Club, and have researched so much on local Italians that I know where all the bodies are buried... That ought to get me through the door.) So Joe wanted me to see and sample a most extraordinary enterprise. Three brothers from Sicily have a company here in town called Forno Classico authentic Italian handmade wood firebrick ovens. These ovens are ordered from all over the U.S. and installed in homes or back patios for entertainment and run generally from about $2,800 to $3,800. The boys brought an oven on a trailer to the party to cook and serve pizza. The Crisa brothers Guiseppe, Luigi and Giovanni were delightful authentic, straight out of central casting with a bouncy accent big enough to pull an oven through. They prepped and cooked the pizzas, which literally took only a minute or two to bake because the ovens reach 1,000 degrees (while staying only warm on the outside). They also sang this was just a side benefit which added to the whole package. So I was a thinkin that for somebody wanting to put on an Italian themed party, forget the formal party planner, hire these guys to trailer in their pizza and supply the food and unofficial entertainment. I joined Silvio DiLoreto and his son Todd, Sam and Marge Romano, Frank Umanzio, Dede and Jim Nonn, Renato Moiso, Michelle Bischoff

Ya Gotta Have Art
My friend Patricia Crosby Hinds is a woman of many talents. She contributes to many board about town Maritime Museum, Museum of Art, Santa Barbara Yacht Club Women, yada-yada. She is also Professor Emeritus from Antelope Valley College. And in her spare time, she is an internationally acclaimed artist. Her striking contemporary works will be seen at Saks Fifth Avenue at First Thursday (October 4) from 5 to 8 pm. There will be a celebratory reception, and of course light refreshments by which to preview her abstract images. And a percentage of the sales will benefit the Profant Foundation for the Arts. So make a nice evening of it!
the Ghostlight is that single bulb atop a simple pole that stands guard center stage when the last person leaves the theatre at night. Their society stands guard today as stalwart supporters of our historic (nearly 90 years old) Lobero. The first Lobero Ghoslight Society event of the season inducted David and Lyn Anderson as Luminaries of the Society for all of their many contributions and underwriting of programs at the Lobero. That evening also paid special tribute to Lillian and Jon (RIP) Lovelace. They have supported much of the arts community in Santa Barbara, and Lillian described their devotion to the arts as a tool to understand humanity. Jim Morouse, Capital Campaign Chair, reminded the elite group of the upcoming changes that will be made to improve the Lobero: replacing the seats, installing HVAC, expansion of bathrooms, and a new esplanade entrance to the theatre will be built as it was originally designed by George Washington Smith. Special and I mean special entertainment was provided with a private concert by jazz artist Tierney Sutton and the Turtle Island Quartet. She is the jazz artist in residence at the Lobero, and her concert previewed material from her upcoming tour and next recording, Poets and Prayers.
Santa Barbara is Buzzing About
The Real Housewives of Santa Barbara. The reality TV show we love to hate, now here... unveiling us? No Joe, say it aint so! Dont know about Joe but Bravo, the shows producer, now claims it aint so, at all, no way. Which, in Hollywood-land parlance only suggests they might not be doing it. Good enough. Santa Barbara abhors trying to be defined or exposed... and the thought of that show here is too horrible. Rumors were flying that the show was casting about our South Coast and several haute housewives, a prominent divorce (oh yeah, that really narrows it down) and a couple of others housewives were on board (or bored?). As Ive previously mentioned, the very first reality show was inaugurated here nearly 40 years ago with the Loud family exposed to the nation on PBS... but at least they kept it all in the family. Then during the 1980s we had the Santa Barbara television soap opera, which no one in Santa Barbara could bear to watch for the way the supposed community was fictitiously portrayed. As for a Real Housewives show here... are we not too small, too provincial and too casual (i.e. what self-respecting local women would be dressed in those getups every day)? MJ

The video included testimonies from dozens of beneficiaries of Ridley-Trees generosity, including Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics, Girls Inc., Santa Barbara Food Bank, Santa Barbara Zoo, Cottage Health System, Domestic Violence Solutions, UC Santa Barbara and Westmont. She is an incredible role model for all of us of someone who invests in the community, makes it a better place, and fundamentally improves the lives of everyone there, says Gayle D.

Its been with your help and your encouragement that I am what you have helped me to be. You have welcomed me to this town, and youve made it possible for me to share. This will always be the most memorable evening Ive ever had.

Downtown Talk Probes Religion in the 2012 Election
I work is so I can give. I love sharing. The program included comments by Judy L. Larson, Askew professor of art history and director of the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art, and Polly Sartori, senior vice president of Sothebys New York, who discussed the role and importance of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. RidleyTree has donated nine Corot paintings and 12 lithographs to Westmonts museum, which will be shown in the upcoming exhibition, Jean-BaptisteCamille Corot: Highlights from the Lady Leslie Ridley-Tree Collection in Context, from January 31-March 23. We hope that everyone who is able to visit the campus will come to
Two Westmont professors discuss how religious factors are influencing the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Jesse Covington, assistant professor of political science, and Telford Work, associate professor of religious studies, will talk about Religion in the 2012 Election: What Difference Is It Making? on Thursday, October 11, at 5:30 pm at the University Club, 1332 Santa Barbara Street. The event, part of Westmont Downtown: Conversations about Things that Matter, is free and open to the public. Tickets are not needed, although the limited seating is available on a first-come, firstserved basis. For more information, please call (805) 565-6051. The talk will explore the interrelation of religion and party affiliation in
the electorate, the salience of religionspecific issues, such as the Health and Human Services mandate regarding insurance coverage of contraception. Covington and Work will also explore the way in which religious subcultures have shaped the character and leadership of candidates, religious dimensions of foreign policy and ways in which candidates theology relates to public policy. I hope that the talk will help provide a more nuanced understanding of the ways in which religion has shaped the candidates character and policy views, Covington says. I also hope that it will facilitate careful and self-conscious appreciation of the role that religion plays in our own assessment of candidates and in the ways that others evaluate the candidates. Covington earned a masters and doctorate in political science from the University of Notre Dame, a masters degree in religion from Westminster Theological Seminary and a bachelors degree from Pepperdine University. The California native recently contributed a chapter on Augustine to a book, Natural Law and Evangelical Political Thought, which he also co-edited and will be published later this year. He also contributed to a chapter, John Locke: Toward a Politics of Liberty, in Freedom and the Human Person. In 2010, he earned Westmonts Teacher of the Year award in Social Sciences. Work, who earned a doctorate in religion from Duke University, has written several books, including, Aint Too Proud to Beg: Living Through the Lords Prayer, Deuteronomy (Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible) and Living and Active: Scripture in the Economy of Salvation. Work earned a bachelors degree in political science from Stanford University and a masters degree in biblical studies and theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. The lecture series is sponsored by the Westmont Foundation, which hosts the annual Presidents Breakfast in Santa Barbara to promote discussion and consideration of current issues among local community leaders.

On Entertainment
by Steven Libowitz
The actors never leave the stage. The two performers sing for two hours straight. Which makes casting pretty important. Weve seen a lot of Emily Jewell, who runs Elements Theater Collective and just starred in SBCCs Avenue Q. Then theres Tad Murroughs, who I know played one of the Bad News Bears on the show, too. I remember Emily from when she auditioned for Reefer Madness. Tad has not been in any of our productions, but hes a Santa Barbara local, and its extra fun for me because I grew up here. We did Showstoppers together for years as kids. Emily and Tad have a great natural chemistry together from having worked together over the summer. It really shows on stage. This show really is 180 degrees from your previous productions, which got larger as they went along. Were going back to that next with Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, which is a very very large rock n roll musical. This really is an intimate chamber musical with a more traditional Broadway sound. But its the size of the show that always brings you back to the relationships. You cant get distracted by other characters. Its like a nonstop close-up shot of Jen and her life and her relationships. Is a musical really the right way to tackle these subjects? I just cant imagine people breaking into song about losing a brother in war. The music is absolutely necessary to tell the story. What really helps is that the composer was very thoughtful; every note is there for a purpose. He wrote it with both musicians and singers in mind. Our pianist feels like the music was written for her. And the singers are saying it supports their
A Different Kind of Musical

redit Samantha Eves grandparents for her love for musicals. Her interest in songfilled extravaganzas began when they took her to see How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying on stage when Samantha was only 10, and that was all she wrote. I grew up with movie musicals playing in the house all the time, she recalled over the phone recently. West Side Story, Grease, even Grease II God help me. Mary Martin in Peter Pan, and Business I watched all the time with my mom; Carousel and The Music Man were my dads favorites. So when I wanted to get into doing theater, it had to be musicals. But credit Eve herself for delving into the darker side of the genre. Early on, she figured out that musicals were capable of handling much more than trite love stories and only sound-bite moments on issues. Why is it okay to talk about challenging and dramatic topics in a straight play, but not musicals? she said. It doesnt have to be only a flimsy story. We try to tell stories that are true, and let you connect all the way, with music. Hence Eves founding of Out of the Box Theater Company, which has already brought such non-traditional musicals as Reefer Madness, Assassins, Evil Dead and Spring Awakening to town despite being founded only in 2010. Now comes John & Jen, which takes a look at family relationships through the story of Jen and the two Johns of her life: her younger brother who was killed in Vietnam, and his namesake her son who is struggling to find his own way. John & Jen which plays at Center Stage Theater October 4-14 features music by Andrew Lippa (who was later nominated for a Tony for The Addams Family), lyrics by Tom Greenwald, and book by both. Mandee Sikich is the musical director, while Eve directs. She talked about the show over the phone recently. Q. Why did this show resonate with you? A. I found it in the library when I was in grad school. I immediately connected with the music, and the story. I have a younger brother, too, and I definitely related to Jen. And the music is amazing. Out of all the shows weve done, its by far the most complex and complicated, but also the most rewarding. A lot of shows focus more on extravagant plots or a dramatic era and stick with it. Even though J&J touches on war, veterans, and lots of other topics, the events 4 11 October 2012
acting choices as the scenes progress. They rely on whats on the sheet music to help them make the decisions they need for the story. When changes happen theyre there for a reason. They say that when you sing in a musical, its when the emotions have risen to a point where just speaking isnt enough. You have to find some other way to express what youre feeling. Some musicals take this very literally and go over the top with emotional charge. But it supports the idea that musicals can handle heavier topics. There is lot of sadness, and wrenching moments. But there are lighter parts that give it balance. Do you have thoughts on what the audience will take away? When Im around the show, I end up

happen and then pass. What stay constant are the relationships We like to select things that are different in some way and while this may not be as out there as Spring Awakening, the way its built is very unusual. There are only two characters, but its full length and about eighty-five percent of it is music. Theres very little dialogue.

Dostoyevsky likely wasnt anticipating anything as instantly horrific as the mass shooting at the movie theater in Colorado in July when he wrote Crime and Punishment, but the Russian master certainly understood mans potential for evil. Now, Ensemble Theatre Company is kicking off its 2012-13 season with a re-imagined, dream-like modern adaptation of the classic novel. Ive been thinking a lot about James Holmes (who stands accused of killing 12 and wounding 58 in the Colorado shooting rampage), said ETCs executive artistic director Jonathan Fox, who is directing Crime and Punishment, which begins performances at the Alhecama Theatre on October 4 and runs through October 21. Man has this tremendous capacity for darkness. When things like that happen, we question why he did it. What leads someone to do something like that? In a way, thats what the novel and this adaptation looks at. Marilyn Campbell and Curt
Crime & Punishment, in 1 Hours
Columbus award-winning take on the book condenses Dostoyevskys masterpiece into a taut 90-minute play, telling the story about a double murder, a police investigation, and the power of love in flashback sequences that are performed by only three actors. The New York Times raved about the adaptation, saying, Who would have thought that the novel no high school student has ever finished reading would make such engrossing theater? Fox, for his part, said he found it mesmerizing and fascinating. What they did was to narrow the focus down to only seven of the characters from the novel, using one actor to play the central character (the murderer Raskolnikov), another male actor for two parts plus a cameo and an actress handling four different female parts. That puts the story much more in the Raskolnikovs mind. When the two other actors play different parts, hes seeing them as versions of the same person. Then (the writers) also deconstructed the piece and rearranged it chronologically. It goes back and forth in time and in that way captures more of the novels dreamlike sense. Youre not quite sure if something is actually happening or is only in his mind. The time shifting makes the detective story more angular, something

familiar to audiences partial to TV crime solvers. In the novel, the crime happens about one-third of the way in, but you dont actually see it until two-thirds through the play, Fox said. So its almost like an episode of Columbo. You get a sense of the crime, and then get to see how it unravels, and how the criminal traps himself. In a sense, ETCs Crime and Punishment like the rest of the season, Ensembles last at the Alhecama before moving to a much larger space at Victoria Hall for 2013-14 is a bit of mystery even to Fox. Not only are all of the plays new to Santa Barbara, theyre also new to the artistic director. I have actually never seen a stage version of any of the plays were doing, Fox admitted. So its a pretty exciting season for me too.
Bill Pullman has played the president of the United States twice most memorably as the defiant leader who saves the planet in Independence Day and more recently on a new TV series spoofing the First Family called 1600 Penn so it makes a lot of sense that hes one of the voices well hear in a new production of classic American history. The actor is starring in the Santa Barbara premiere of First Person: Seeing America, a multimedia stage show that pays tribute to the uniquely American experience through projected images, live music and the reciting of historic writings. Works by iconic photographers such as Walker Evans, Ansel Adams and Alfred Stieglitz are projected while Pullman and actress Lily White read historic pieces by Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Studs Terkel and others, accompanied by music from of Ensemble Galilei. The down-to-earth Pullman came by the show which will be staged at UCSBs Campbell Hall on Wednesday, October 10 in a way thats as organic as the fruit trees he has planted on his orchard in the Hollywood hills. Ive been a fan for twelve to fifteen years, Pullman said of Ensemble Galilei, the chamber music group that created the piece and provides the music on stage. Theyre incredible musicians with an exquisite sound who still have hard times to make ends meet. So I always encourage them to stop here, put them up at the house. We take them in and they play some music for us.

Chamber music group Ensemble Galilei provides the music on stage during First Person: Seeing America
Bill Pullman stars in the Santa Barbara premiere of the multimedia stage show, First Person: Seeing America
For Pullman, First Person: Seeing America harkens back to an old style of storytelling he finds especially appealing. I think of it as picture story the-
ater, he said. I used to teach theater history and I always loved those primitive forms of entertainment that existed for thousands of years before we had YouTube. In India in the 6th century, they used to travel around with scrolls, pictures of the gods, and sing and narrate and that was the entertainment. The Japanese had an amazing version in the twentieth century, guys going around on bicycles with a box kids would look into with story sheets as the guy described the story. This is the sophisticated version from our country. There are amazing photographs, and wonderful music and incredible words, many I havent read yet. Im probably the weakest link. But its been a great way for me to elevate my own learning curve. Indeed, Pullman said hes doing his best to limit the acting in his performances. Its the readings that are very important. But there are decisions about voice. How far do you go in incarnating those people? I have
found a gesture toward different voices is effective, but taking on strong characterization isnt. If you read a poem and start inflecting something unusual, it clouds the images. Pullman said hes hoping audiences will take away the same sense of awe immersing himself in the material has invoked for him. Its not like a hold onto your seats, white knuckle action movie. Because its not dependent on that at all, youre asked to be reflective in a way youre normally not, even when watching TV. When you listen to literature and see images, theres a certain responsibility of the audience to enter into a space of contemplation. Poetry and music activate a different part of your brain. You may draw conclusions you never would have imagined.
iconic talk show when longtime host Johnny Carson retired was to buy a ranch up in the Santa Ynez Valley, leaving behind the Hollywood Hills along with the TV show. But wanderlust set in for the octogenarian trumpeter and Severinsen departed for a foray into Mexico, where he hooked up with some local residents and found kindred musical spirits. Now, Severinsen who has since relocated to Tennessee is coming back to town for one night only, for a concert with the San Miguel 5 at the Granada on Saturday night. The witty and always flamboyantlydressed trumpeter, who always had a twinkle in his eye whenever Johnny looked his way, gave us the lowdown on the new band and his secrets for remaining spry. Q. Why is the San Miguel 5 such a good fit for you? A. When I first moved to Mexico, I was just looking for some guys and wound up playing in an Italian restaurant with them. People loved it

so we started taking it seriously. This edition of the band is just stupendous. I mean, these guys really play great! We just love to get together and play. Its obvious when you see us on stage that were having a really good time. I think audiences become aware of that very quickly. You took to the style right away? Ive had a long association with Latin music going back to when I settled in New York as a kid. It was how I made my living at a very formative period in my life. Its always been a part of my way of playing. But this band plays a lot of different kinds of music, from Piazzola to straight Mexican tunes, some American songs and even gypsy music. Were not self-conscious about it, and we dont bother to keep up with the latest trends. We surely want to be creative, but above all, if we dont enjoy it, we dont do it. Youre eighty-five. Why are you still on the road touring? Well, I have no desire to retire. Im doing what I want to do. Thats the whole idea when you get to this point in life. Im not up there because I can still make money. Im doing it because I love to play the music. But how do you have the stamina for such a demanding instrument? I tell you what: I just got back from the gym, where I had a very stiff workout. I do it in a very serious way. I have a coach who not only monitors my activities in the gym, but also tells me what to eat, how much and how often. Things like that enable me to carry on, because Im not interested in just being alive. I want to be productive and enjoy life. And, yeah, I can still hit the high notes. You spent thirty-five years on The Tonight Show, joining even before Carson, and left when he retired. If you had to pick one favorite moment (Pauses) Well, it was something 4 11 October 2012
Doc Severinsen returns for one night only with the San Miguel 5 at the Granada on Saturday night
that recurred every night: when I got the word over the headphones And cue music. Wed go into the Johnny Carson theme, Im standing in front of the band, and there he comes, popping through the curtain, looking like he owned the world, happy and upbeat. That was always the big moment and it was every day. Any advice for Leno, Letterman and their bandleaders? Oh, no. Im out of that now. And they do it their own way and its pretty good. But one thing they know, even the ones who dont admit it: Johnny was and is the best of them all. He created how these shows would be done. He defined what talk shows are about. And there isnt a one of them who wouldnt like to be exactly like him. So do you get chills when you hear that theme song? Oh, yeah. Its a pretty emotional feeling for me. When I tour with the big band, we open the show that way; thats what brings me on the stage, and yeah I still get chills.

Real Estate
new To The Market
by Mark Hunt
Mark and his wife, Sheela Hunt, are real estate agents. They live in Montecito with their daughter Sareena, a freshman at SBHS. His family goes back nearly one hundred years in the Santa Barbara area. Marks grandparents Bill and Elsie Hunt were Santa Barbara real estate brokers for 25 years.
Two-story condominium at Bonnymede is new on the market at $1,199,000
This Spanish-style home at 1520 Bolero Drive is situated in the heart of Montecitos Golden Quadrangle
ach issue I try to find a unique angle from which to present properties for your consideration as Best Buys in Montecito. Whether its lower-cost fixers or grand estates, the goal is always to spotlight the top opportunities for sale in Montecito. Sometimes, what I may consider a best buy may not be because it is priced low (although that is often the case), but rather that it may be a rare opportunity to purchase a special or not-often-available type of property, such as beach front with acreage, a historic home, perfect view, unique construction, etc In this issue, I am focusing on four properties that are newer to the market. The last time I took this approach, three of the four properties I wrote about went into escrow that same week. What that helped me understand is that value is value and in many cases that value is evident to many. Take todays group of homes, from a two-story condo near the beach to a historic home with a three-bedroom guest house, all offer a piece of Montecito that others around the country often can only dream about.

The main level has an entertaining area with a living room and dining room off the kitchen with breakfast nook. The two bedroom suites are upstairs. The Bonnymede complex also offers tennis, swimming pool and a beachfront sandy area with tables and lounge chairs for fun in the sun.

1989. The architectural home offers four bedroom suites, along with ocean views from the entry area, and living room. Two of the bedroom suites have private entrances, with French doors opening to the garden or very private pool setting.
