Rotary Club
of Montecito

Carolyn Brown:
Kids Are My Life!
The Montecito Rotary Club is
proud to announce Carolyn Brown
as Rotarian of the Month. Carolyn
has been the Executive Director of the
Downtown Boys & Girls Club of
Santa Barbara for almost three years,
after spending 14 years in Bellingham,
Washington where she was Executive
Director of two Bellingham Boys &
Girls Clubs.
Carolyns passion for kids
is contagious. Boys and girls are
simply amazing, said Carolyn. Its
my purpose in life. I love watching
them and helping them grow up.
Naturally, she believes in the
positive programs and results that
the Boys & Girls Clubs offer young
people from ages 6-18.
Eighty percent of our Santa
Barbara Boys & Girls Club kids are
living below the poverty line, added
Carolyn. About 70% are Hispanic.
Our goal is to help kids learn skills
they dont pick up at school and to
reinforce values they need for life.
Carolyn also sees Rotary
as a great way to make a positive
contribution in her community. I
love the way Rotary does so many
good things here in town and around
the world, she added. Life should
be fun and Rotary makes serving
extremely enjoyable.
For the past three years Carolyn
has been a major player in organizing
the Montecito Rotary Clubs Annual
Golf Tournament. Its our major
fundraiser. Recent benefactors
include the local Storytellers, SBCC,
and the YMCA.
She also loves the outdoors,
and with a Recreational Forestry
degree she worked nine years for the
California State Parks and the U.S.
Forest Service. She also lived in
Moscow, Idaho for nine years on the
western edge of the Rockies.
Carolyn plans to continue being
an integral part of Rotary for many
years to come.

Time Of The Whales
M
any people who have either lived in
Santa Barbara for a long time or were
born here, have never ventured out
into Santa Barbara Channel to visit, gaze at, or
commune with the community of whales that
now make these waters their home.
They are really missing something.
Captain Fred Benko, co-owner and co-found-
er (along with his wife, Hiroko Benko) of Santa
Barbaras premier whale-watching outfit the
Condor Express, has been shepherding visitors
out into the Channel to visit the denizens of the
deep for more than twenty years. Fred, whod
been and remains a fisherman, read the hand-
writing on the wall, and switched from fishing
expeditions to whale watching over twenty
years ago. In those early days, it took nearly three hours to reach the gap between
Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Island where many of the whales congregated. Today,
with his 75-ft twin-hulled, four-engine, diesel-powered Condor Express, the trip
time has been reduced to 45 minutes. Ive already gone out half a dozen times
over the 27 years Ive lived here; I went out again recently and conducted a short
interview with Freds chief captain, Mat Curto.
Mat was born in Brooklyn, New York, lived on Long Island until the age of 27,
and moved to Solvang in 1993. He purchased a McConnells Ice Cream shop with
his sister Valerie, who was living in Santa Ynez Valley with her husband at the
time. I came out on vacation and fell in love with Solvang, he tells me, but after a
year, he realized that, having lived on and near water his entire life on Long Island,
he had to get back out on the water. In August 1995, he began working on the
Condor, starting out as a deck hand/captain, and hes been there ever since. Its
the only job Ive ever had, he says.
In 1989, oil companies halted underwater seismic exploration of the channel,
which required setting off explosives, and soon after, humpbacks and blues
began their yearly visitations, arriving in greater numbers year after year.
Today, from mid-June to mid-October or so, the Santa Barbara Channel is home
to the greatest concentration on Earth of the largest creatures to have ever lived:
the 70- to 90-foot blue whales. But you dont have to wait until June to marvel
at some of natures most intriguing animals. As of mid-February and through
to mid-May, some twenty thousand gray whales will make their way north from
shallow lagoons in Baja California. Humpbacks make their appearance about
mid-April to feed; theyll stay through mid-December.
There are some 27 species of whales and dolphins that populate the Santa Barbara
Channel, including killer whales, minke whales, long and short beak common dol-
phins, bottle-nose dolphins, Rissos dolphins, pacific white-sided dolphins, Dalls
porpoises, along with a proliferation of seals, sea lions, otters and other creatures.
Weve even seen a sperm whale, Mat says, although its pretty rare.
The 75-ft Condor Express is a comfortably large vessel with plenty of seating
capacity that not only boasts a full kitchen, but also a full bar. Mat and his crew
are running coastal tours three times a day right now, during the gray whale
north migration. Costs are $50 for adults and $30 for kids 12 and under. Once
the humpbacks and the blues return, hell head out to mid-Channel for half-day
excursions. The prices for those trips are $99 for adults, $50 for kids.
If youd like to visit our underwater friends (and you should), you are invited
to call Sea Landing at 805-882-0088 to make a reservation. You can preview online
at: condorexpress.com, although one can only book a trip via the Sea Landing. MJ

Miscellany
by Richard Mineards
Richard covered the Royal Family for Britains Daily Mirror and Daily Mail before moving to New York
to write for Rupert Murdochs newly launched Star magazine in 1978; Richard later wrote for New York
magazines Intelligencer. He continues to make regular appearances on CBS, ABC, and CNN, and
moved to Montecito five years ago.

eteran crooner Tony Bennett
is about to leave his heart in
Montecito!
The Italian-American singer is mak-
ing an exclusive engagement at the
Montecito Country Club on May 22 to
benefit UCSBs Arts & Lectures, I can
exclusively reveal.
The program just launched a $20
million five-year campaign for a per-
manent endowment and operating
costs.
Tony, 86, who has won 17 Grammys
and two Emmys, is best known for his
1962 signature mega hit I Left My
Heart in San Francisco and will be
performing in front of just 225 guests,
rather different to his engagement at
the Hollywood Bowl three months
later in front of an audience of 18,000.
Were beyond thrilled to bring
him to town, gushes Celesta Billeci,

The best little paper in America
(Covering the best little community anywhere!)
T
hank you for the continuing arti-
cles about Montecitos wonder-
ful matador, writer and author,
Barnaby Conrad, following his death
February 12. My wife, Laurie, and I
learned from Lynda Millners Seen
Around Town (MJ # 19/9) article
that both her family and ours had life-
size wooden cutouts of pets made and
painted by Barnaby from photographs
he took of each of them. In our case,
Barnaby had donated his services for
this task to a local charitys fundraiser.
Fortunately, Laurie was the high bid-
der and the process began with his
photo of our Maine Coon cat, Miss
Kitty. When Barnaby delivered the
completed work a couple of weeks
later, he placed it on the floor and,
when Miss Kitty entered the room
several minutes later, she was startled
and arched her back with hair stand-
ing on end, not aware the perfect
resemblance was she.
We chatted with Barnaby for at least
another half hour, during which time
we told him how much we enjoyed
his book, Name Dropping, about
the funny times and stories during
his ownership of El Matador, the
San Francisco saloon. My reading of
it often found me laughing aloud.
Barnaby offered to sign our copy and,
after close to ten minutes of affixing
his signature, he showed us what he
had been doing.
What a joy Barnaby Conrad gave to
people like us, whom he had just met!
Sincerely,
Jim Ebright
Montecito
Real May Madness
In Richard Mineards article of last
week (Montecito Miscellany, MJ #
19/9) he wrote that Oprah is renovat-
ing her house; out with the old and in
with the new! What I want to know is
what will happen to all her old fur-
niture? Is she going to have her own
garage sale, or will she instead donate
the bulk of it to the Music Academys
annual estate sale on the grounds of
Miraflores?
Either way, it would be a significant
event if she either donated her stuff to
the Music Academy or held her own
estate sale and donated the funds to
the Music Academy or any one of a
number of non-profit organizations.
Please, Richard, keep us informed
(and maybe encourage Oprah to give
some stuff to a good cause or two)!

Lets Get On With it
Regarding your article on the
Montecito corridor (MJ #19/8), I
would like to point out if I remem-
ber correctly that when Caltrans

life-size woodcarving of Miss
Kitty Jim and Laurie Ebrights

Cabrillo, when asked what he would
do if the closure jammed up Coast
Village Road (which it has), First
District Supervisor Salud Carbajal
responded that if that happened and
if it persisted, he would see to it that
Caltrans would get busy re-creating a
new southbound on-ramp.
Well its been hell on Coast Village
Road for everyone; it is frequently
jammed and it has persisted.
Mr. Carbajal, however, is now mute.
Its typical of our politicians to prom-
ise anything during the early stages
of various projects damn the con-
sequences so they can get on with
their political agendas. Caltrans is just
a big fat-cat government union and
will never agree to shorten the years
and money it insists it will take to
add a third lane between Olive Mill
and Carpinteria. Caltrans would like
to stretch that time out to infinity at
taxpayer expense of course in order
to pad the exorbitant pensions and
other goodies its union representa-
tives have bargained for (trading
volunteers and money to re-elect poli-
ticians in exchange for undeserved
and unsustainable benefits). Any pri-
vate company could complete this job
in one-third the time.
The Empire State Building took a
year and 45 days to build. The U.S.
from a standing start defeated
both the Japanese Empire and Nazi
Germany in less than four years. But
Caltrans cant finish 11 miles of road-
way in less than six years (wanna bet
itll take ten)? Its absurd. Lets just
get on with building this boondoggle,
try to keep our Montecito Parkway
as attractive and pleasant as possible,
and be done with it. In the meantime,
someone should ask Mr. Carbajal to

Apocalypse never
So here we are about twenty-
four hours (as of this writing) into
the Apocalypse (or as Mark Steyn
called it in National Review Online,
Sequestageddon) and everything
seems the same. Not that same is
all that good, but the trains, planes
and buses seem to running on time
and the unemployment rolls have not
dramatically increased. Oh I know it is
only one day and I can hear my friends
who support the current administra-
tions way of governing saying that the
sequester is the beginning of the end.
According to the leader of the
vast right-wing conspiracy, Bob
Woodward, it was Barack Obama who
came up with the idea of a sequester.
It was President Obama who said the
sequester would not happen; it was
Barack Obama who said two weeks
ago that should the sequester happen,
life would change as we know it, and
it was Barack Obama who said yes-
terday that this country will survive
the sequester. It was Barack Obama
who was instrumental in the com-
missioning of the Simpson-Bowles
Committee, and it was Barack Obama
who ignored each and every one of
the commissions recommendations.
It was Barack Obama who said that
once the Republicans gave him the
extra revenue that was needed (Can
you say higher taxes?) he would work
with the Congress to reduce govern-
ment spending.
Campaigning is easy; governing is
hard. We have a U.S. Senate controlled
by Harry Reid and Dick Durban that
has not passed a budget since 2009. We
have a bloated government bureau-
cracy that continues to grow with the
full endorsement of the administra-
tion and its elected and non-elected
allies. We have an administration that
continues to use a divide-and-conquer
strategy. Its goal is to eliminate the
competition by working with a com-
plicit media and to practice a win/
lose strategy.
Mr. Obama won the election with
50.93% of the vote. There are people
on the other side of the aisle that
while they and their constituents were
not part of that the 50.93% deserve
to have a president who works in their
best interest as well as one who works
in the best interests of those who
voted for him. He should stop the
class warfare and listen to the people
who built this country and who make
a contribution each and every day.

no Questions Asked?
One popular solution (?) to gun vio-
lence is for law enforcement bodies to
set up a program to purchase firearms
with no questions asked (Google:
LA Gun Buyback).
If youre a gang-banger or violent
criminal, its as simple as committing
the crime and then, turning in your
gun for a gift certificate.
What a great opportunity for those
serial killers whove been hiding their
rusty old Saturday-night specials in
the backyard for the past 10 years. Its
time to dig them up and turn them in.
The only evidence linking a suspect
to the victim can now be purchased by
law enforcement with no questions
asked. Who says crime doesnt pay?
Perhaps its time to start asking a
few questions regarding these taxpay-
er-funded evidence-loopholes.

MBAR Weighs in
on Verizon Project
Village Beat
by Kelly Mahan

O
n Monday, March 4, county
planner Megan Lowery and
Verizon Wireless representa-
tive Jay Higgins were in front of
the Montecito Board of Architectural
Review to illustrate two options for an
antenna project in Montecito.
The antenna, a replacement for the
antenna that was removed from the
QAD property in Summerland late
last year, was originally approved for
512 Santa Angela Lane. The project
was stalled when neighbors and El
Montecito Presbyterian parishioners
and preschool parents appealed the
Montecito Planning Commissions
approval of the project, which was to
include installation of nine Verizon
Wireless panel antennas, as well as
an above-ground prefabricated equip-
ment shelter.
In response to the appeal, as well
as at the request of the Board of
Supervisors, Verizon staff looked for
alternatives in the neighborhood,
identifying and then eliminating 18
other properties upon which to locate
the antenna. The company has decid-
A 75-ft faux tree antenna located on Overpass
Road in Goleta is similar to what Verizon Wireless
is proposing to place at 512 Santa Angela Lane
in Montecito. The design comes after neighbors
asked the wireless company to re-evaluate both
the location of the project as well as its visual
impact. While this picture shows equipment
around the base of the tree, the Montecito project
will not have equipment located there. The tree
will be located on private property, and its base
will not be visible to the public.

Featured performer singing
Gimbels songs was jazz vocalist
Connie Evingson. She has appeared
in theatres, concert halls and night-
clubs across the U. S., Europe and
Japan. She has performed with bands
directed by Doc Severinsen (of
Johnny Carson fame) and on Garrison
Keillors A Prairie Home Companion.
Her nine CDs have all charted in the
Top 50 on the U.S. and Canada jazz
charts. She was here with her lat-
est all Norman Gimbel songs. She
kept the room rockin, clapping and
singing.
And to keep us laughing, Master of
Ceremonies Rob Watkins enchanted
us with his feats of ventriloquism.
Hes also a magician that appears at
the Hollywood Magic Castle, founded
and owned by Santa Barbaras Milt
Larsen. Milt and Arlene were there
to support him. Rob said, When my
siblings would no longer listen to me,
I lined up all my stuffed animals to
practice on and soon they began talk-
ing.
Lobero Theatre Associates president
Emily Johnson acknowledged found-

who was there in 1972, Nancy
Cordini for underwriting many invi-

chair Janet McCann. Janet responded,
Without the tribute to Norman we
would not have such a full house.
She presented him with a clock that
was inscribed Hats Off, Norman.
Norman told the crowd, I watched
my granddaughter dance on the
Lobero stage last December. It doesnt
get much better than that. When
youre in the shower perhaps you
could sing something I wrote.

Montecito Rotarys 60th
The Montecito Chapter of Rotary
International just celebrated its 60
th

year at the Montecito Country Club.
Rotary was the worlds first volun-
teer service club founded in 1905.
The name was derived from the early
practice of rotating meetings among
the members offices. It has grown
to an association of over 33,000 clubs
located in more than 200 countries.
There are eight chapters in town with
this chapter having about 35 members.
The members and spouses dressed to
the nines and gathered for cocktails
prior to dinner.
Les Esposito (known as Mr. Rotary)
gave the audience 60 years of this
clubs history in 10 minutes. The
Montecito Chapter began as the
Rotary Club of Carpinteria and met
at the Strawberry Inn. In 1954 they
moved to the Miramar Convention
Center and changed their name to the
Montecito Chapter. Since 2001 they
have met at the Montecito Country
Club.
In 1987, Santa Barbara Bank and Trust
Manager Linda Cowan Melchiori
became the first woman member. She
was followed by Sonny Harper, the
manager of Business Image. Among
the groups many projects was the
forming of a charitable foundation in
1995 and they are now able to donate
about ten $500 grants annually to help
fund the work of many non-profit
organizations in the county.
Rotary International wanted to
eradicate all polio on earth. Since
the campaign began there are only
four countries in the world left with
polio: Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nigeria
and Egypt. The Montecito Chapter
has helped women in Bukavu, Africa
with a vocational center and in the
Mumosho, Congo with a Peace
Market benefiting over 30,000 people
who trade in that area. Recently clubs
worldwide have concentrated on
clean water, literacy and drug abuse
prevention programs.
This is our history, this is our jour-
ney of service so please stand and join
with me in toasting all the men and
women who have made this night
possible, asked Les.
The program was turned over to
Peter Clark who kept us laughing
along with Alan Thicke and come-
dienne Paul Clay. Alan complained,
Peters introduction is longer than
I plan on being here. He roast-
ed Larry Crandell asking, How
did you get the name, Mr. Santa
Barbara? Larry joked, I have a
forgiving heart, minimum talent and
I thank you from the bottom of my
bottom.
Rotarys motto Service Above Self
serves them well. Heres to 60 more
years!
new Beginnings
Social Venture Partners Barb and
Sam Toumayan hosted an event at
the Faulkner Gallery in the Central
Library so we could learn more about
a non-profit that has been in our com-
munity since 2000 New Beginnings
Counseling Center. It provides a new
beginning for people in need with fees
on a sliding scale and no one turned
away.
Executive director Kristine Schwarz
welcomed the group telling them, We
helped sixteen hundred people last
year and grants helped us. One of
their programs, which is being copied
by other cities, is the RV Safe Parking
and Homeless Outreach program.
There are 110 spaces in 20 lots with
150 people participating. Homeless
individuals can park safely from 7 pm
to 7 am, and there are 50 people on the
waiting list.
Barbara Harvey told her story of
using a space at the Mission for five
months with her two golden retriev-
ers. She had only a part-time, four
hour per day job. When asked how
she did it, she replied, I lived only in
the present time. I didnt think ahead
or it would have been depressing.
She now has a tiny apartment for
her and her two dogs, which she got
through the Housing Authority. New
Beginnings also helps people get con-
nected with various agencies to meet
their needs.
One of the many interns who is
a counselor in training is Darcy
Butterfield. Licensed counselors men-
tor them. She spoke of her many cli-
ents saying, Its so rewarding to see
them change their lives around and
break the cycle of poverty.
Among those thanked by Kristine
were Judi Weisbart who is the event
coordinator, director of development
Jill Frandsen, board president Diane
Pannkuk. She also thanked Social
Venture Partners executive direc-
tor Joan Young, Glenn Bacheller,
Barbara Toumayan and Gary Becker,
who give free business consultations
to non-profits.

Santa Barbara
is Just Music to Our Ears
State Street Spin
by Erin Graffy de Garcia
O
ne can hardly think of
Marilyn Gilbert without
thinking of music. A singer
and a producer of a variety of musical
events, Marilyn (with her late hus-
band, baritone Nathan Rutledge) was
also the driving force behind launch-
ing the local opera company in town
20 years ago.
Therefore, any time she is stirring
up some musical pot, we all peer over
the edge to see whats cooking.
She is now involved in one of those
quietly successful little Santa Barbara
gems with a tight following, but that
many people have never known
about. But should. Talkin bout the
Santa Barbara Music Club. They have
been producing music concerts locally
for nearly a half-century. Moreover it is
the largest concert series in the entire
county... and they are free to the pub-
lic. The range of repertoire spans his-
torical period and styles, and features
outstanding performances by instru-
mental and vocal soloists and chamber
music ensembles. It is the perfect bite
size sampling of musical treasures.
So I will give you a heads up: On
Saturday, March 23 at 3:00 pm, there
will be a free concert by the SB Music
Club at the Faulkner Gallery in the
downtown library.
The program will start out with
American composer Michael McLeans
Tangos and More, for two violins
and piano. This is a happy little pot-
pourri of popular folk dances; the
music features quick clever rhythms
and imaginative writing for the three
instruments.
Allegro moderato from Cello
Concerto in B-flat major by Luigi
Boccherini (yes we love Boccherini!)
will follow with cellist Vincent Chen,
a Santa Barbara Music Club scholar-
ship awardee.
Soprano Takako Wakita and pia-
nist Betty Oberacker will present
five Japanese-themed offerings: four
fascinating Japanese art songs,
together with that exquisite aria
Un bel di (One Fine Day), from
Puccinis Madame Butterfly. Takako
has been Santa Barbaras premier
ambassador to all things Japanese,
and an accomplished artist in so
many fields. (She has performed the
demanding Butterfly role twice local-
ly, I believe... and last season at Opera
Santa Barbara she performed the role
of the mother!) This will make an
outstanding presentation.
Then the romantic fantasy by
Hungarian composer Franz Liszt,
Valle dObermann, will con-
clude the program. Pianist Marian
Drandell Gilbert will be featured in
those impressive virtuosic cascades
and melodic creativity.
The Goods get naughty
Then Upstairs at the G the Granada
Theatre specialty jazz program fea-
tured The Goods. This was more than
a musical group; it was a total musical
experience. It seems that three gals
professional singers and songwrit-
ers had done a quick tribute song
for a mutual friend a year or so ago.
Discovering their vocal blend, they
decided to pursue their friendship-
blendship as a side hobby.
The result is... hmmm, how to describe:
Andrews sisters meets twisted sis-
ters?
They start out with their boogie-
woogie blend and then interject
bawdy-bad girl bywords. Syncopated,
sassy, and sexy, their lyrics went from
kissy-kissy to the nitty-gritty and from
in-the-know to innuendo to double-
entendre. All at a blistering speed
with a fabulous back-up band.
Prudence and Bob Sternin spon-
sored The Goods performance at
Upstairs at the G an informal
intimate cabaret venue held in the
McCune Founders room upstairs in
the Granada Theatre, a concept found-
ed by Sarah Chrisman, president of
the Granada board.
Sweet Happy
Life of Gimbel
Then, speaking of more songs and
words, the Santa Barbara Jazz Society
featured one of our favorites. It hosted
jazz songstress Connie Evingson in a
concert of the songs of Norm Gimbel.
Connie has a refreshingly clear and
intelligent sound, and the perfect
interpreter of the lyrics of this local
resident and Grammy-award winner.
Norm Gimbel is not just the roman-
tic, but the incurable intellectual
romantic. His words never search out
for a gal-pal or garden-variety girl-
friend. He wont settle for less than
a soul mate: one who will sway with
me (Sway), someone to understand each
little dream in me, someone to take my
hand and be a team with me (Summer
Samba), and Let someone start believ-
ing in you ... and watch what happens
(Watch What Happens) because if it
takes forever, I will wait for you (I Will
Wait for You).
The concert at SOhO was packed
with music enthusiasts including
Sol Morrison, Rachel McKeone,
Maureen Connolly, Janet Bullock,
Kathryn Stockbridge.
Luis Munoz has LUZ
Last, but not least, Costa Rican com-
poser and long time Santa Barbara
resident Luis Muoz is having his
CD release concert on March 14, at
SOhO at 6:30 pm.
Muoz, twice winner of an ACAM
award in Latin America (Jazz
Composer/Producer of the Year
2006 & 2011), will be celebrating the
release of his new CD LUZ, which fea-
tures the hot Mexican singer Magos
Herrera and Santa Barbaras Brazilian
Tka. He will be performing with
Tom Etchart on bass, Jonathan Dane
on trumpet, George Friedenthal on
keyboards and Narciso Sotomayor on
guitar. MJ
Lana McIntyre and Marla
Phillips enjoy The Goods in
concert Upstairs at the G. The
Goods a sassy trio fea-
tured props on one of their
songs and tossed the bunny
ears for Marla to sport. There
is probably some good expla-
nation for this, but if we told
you, we would have to kill
you. So Marla hares look-
ing at you
Takako Wakita will be featured in the soaring aria
from Madame Butterfly along with other soloists
at the Santa Barbara Music Clubs free concert
on Saturday March 23 at 3 pm at the Faulkner
Gallery.

Keeping it in The Family
On Entertainment
by Steven Libowitz
Steven Libowitz has
reported on the arts and
entertainment for more
than 30 years; he has
contributed to Montecito
Journal for over ten
years.
W
hen your dad and all three
of your uncles are not just
actors, but well-known ones
with a list of collective credits that
runs for multiple pages and even
a Golden Globe award, well, its a
pretty good bet you might grow up to
be an actor, too.
But Katherine Bottoms, the 19-year-
old daughter of Joseph Bottoms (and
Timothy, Ben and the late Sams
niece), only made that decision a few
years ago. Before halfway through
high school, she was much more
focused on sports.
As a kid, I always wanted to be a
basketball player, Bottoms said late
last week. I played a lot of sports. I
did gymnastics for years, and was I
really into volleyball for a while.
In fact, at Santa Barbara High, the
fall season was totally taken up by
passing and setting; Katherine was
only available for the school musi-
cals after volleyball season ended. But
Bottoms auditioned as a freshman for
Beauty and the Beast, and when she
got cast in the first of several shows
she did with theater department head
Otto Layman, everything changed.
It was really exciting. Thats when
I started thinking about becoming an
actress, she said.
Bottoms later appeared in sup-
porting roles in Footloose, Singin in
the Rain, Little Shop of Horrors and
all of the Music of the Night events.
Then in senior year, she played Hope
Harcourt in Anything Goes, her first
leading part, and the thought of turn-
ing professional became more than a
passing fancy.
But unlike the previous generation
of Bottoms, all of whom had been
cast in TV or film roles as teenagers or
before, Katherine didnt bolt for Los
Angeles or New York right after high
school.
I saw what happened with them,
she explained. Being younger and
involved in the industry can be very
tough. So Im juggling acting and col-
lege because I want to have some sort
of stability.
So instead Katherine enrolled at
SBCC, and at the beginning of her
second year found herself cast last
fall as Puck in A Midsummer Nights
Dream, the only student actor given
in a lead role alongside community
members Leesa Beck, Bill Egan and
Brian Harwell.
Now shes the only student in the
entire cast for SBCCs upcoming pro-
duction of Noel Cowards Present
Laughter, which stars Equity member
Arthur Hanket as Garry Essendine,
a handsome and charming matinee
idol who sits at the center of his own
universe surrounded by a bevy of
women wanting more than hes able
to offer. Bottoms plays Daphne, the
love-struck innocent who shows up at
Garrys apartment expecting attention
and affection.
Shes the typical ingnue, a twen-
ty-one-year-old who sleeps with Garry
and gets hooked on him, Bottoms
said. Shed never had sex before and
now shes bonded with this guy and
its ridiculous, but she thinks theyre
going to fall in love and get married.
Its a small role but its so much fun.
Immersing herself in a frothy work
from the master of sophisticated
British comedy has been an eye-open-
ing make that ear-opening experi-
ence.
Ive never done anything with
a British accent before and I had no
idea what I was doing, but weve got-
ten some help from a couple of the
other actors who are English. And
Id never done a straight play before
Midsummer but it was great. I
know I dont want to spend my life in
musical theater, Im more interested in
straight plays.
In the meantime, theres talk of films
and TV and the lure of Hollywood
when she graduates from SBCC in a
few months. In fact, Bottoms was up
for a part in a fantasy adventure TV
pilot on the morning of our interview,
and had to race back from LA in time
to make it to rehearsal at SBCC at 6.
The auditions are coming fast and
furious now that Katherine signed
up with a powerful manager (Ted
Gekis, who also grew up in Santa
Barbara) and an agent, both of whom
she secured not long ago with a little
push from veteran Montecito actress
Pamela Dillman, who as Bradford
Dillmans daughter, knows a bit about
having a famous father in the biz. But
she didnt take a lot of help or advice
from her own Bottoms acting clan.
I was stubborn in wanting to do it
on my own. I do have those connec-
tions, and its probably stupid not to
use them, because it is how it works.
But also my dad was so involved in
the art gallery (Bottoms Fine Art) that
he didnt have much time. And I dont
see Uncle Tim very much, and Ben
doesnt do much acting anymore.
But theres no doubt that acting is
in my blood.

ed by department chair R. Michael Gros,

The Family
That Plays Together
Speaking of adult children of Santa
Barbara arts folks, Choral Society
director JoAnne Wasserman is bring-
ing her son to town to serve as guest
pianist for this weekends pair of con-
certs. The Atlanta-based concert pia-
nist Alexander Wasserman, a recent
prizewinner of the Bauru/Atlanta
piano competition, has played recital
performances in American cities from
Boston to Los Angeles. In California,
he has also appeared as a soloist with
the Thousand Oaks Philharmonic and
the New Valley Symphony.
But the Santa Barbara Choral
Societys Masterworks concerts at
San Roque Catholic Church will mark
the first time the two Wassermans
have appeared on stage together.
Sure, all the mom stuff applies,
JoAnne Wasserman said over the
phone earlier this week when asked if
the upcoming performances bring up
some pride. Im really excited. Weve
thought about playing together for so
many years, and have just been wait-
ing for the right time and thats now.
Its my twentieth season, and I wanted
to do something special.

ed to pursue the Santa Angela prop-
erty, but has changed the design of
the project, which the appellants have
endorsed. On Monday, an alternative
to the Santa Angela property was
also presented (located in front of
Casa Dorinda), but did not receive
favorable comments by MBAR board
members.
The design alternative at Santa
Angela is suitable to neighbors
because it will lessen the exposure to
RF emissions, according to appellant
Martha Kay, who spoke to the MBAR.
This is a good compromise solution.
We urge you to support the pine tree
concept, she said. The new design
would include installation of an
antenna disguised as a 75-ft pine tree,
where the original design placed the
antennas behind a parapet wall, closer
to the ground. The faux tree would be
placed near another similar tree, help-
ing it to blend into the neighborhood.
Its maintenance includes branch and
leaf replacement as it weathers.
This would be a good solution,
said board member Bill Palladini,
who agreed with other MBAR mem-
bers who said they were impressed
with the newer versions of faux trees.
MBAR did not care for the other
possible location for a faux tree anten-
na, which would be located in a public
right of way in the triangle at Hot
Springs and Olive Mill Roads. Because
of entitlements, only part of the tri-
angle would be usable, and mature
trees would need to be removed to
accommodate the faux tree, as well
as the prefab shelter, which would be
fenced in. I like that site as an urban
forest, and I would like it to stay that
way, said board member Don Nulty.
The visual impact is extraordinary,
said Palladini, who pointed out that
the largest tree there now is approxi-
mately 45 feet tall. It would be far
taller than the other trees, and would
stick out, he said.
While the Santa Angela Lane appel-
lants still prefer an alternative to the
property on their street, the have indi-
cated that the faux tree design is a
suitable compromise. The appellants
and Higgins will be at the Board
A before and after simulation shows what the triangle in front of Casa Dorinda on Hot Springs Road
would look like with a Verizon Wireless antenna project. The necessary equipment would need to be
fenced to prevent people from climbing the tree. The project was not favored by Montecito Board of
Architectural Review.

BOOK TALK
by Shelly Lowenkopf
Hold That Pose
Shelly Lowenkopf blogs
@ www.lowenkopf.
com. Lowenkopfs lat-
est book is The Fiction
Writers Handbook. His
short fiction, which has
appeared widely in the
literary and commercial
press, is featured in Love
Will Make You Drink and
Gamble, Stay Out Late at
Night, due in 2013.
T
he Digital Age, not content with
having a tsunami effect on the
established publishing industry
and book trade, has gone to work
making photographic film and film
cameras obsolete. In the process, sev-
eral million cellphone owners have
digital cameras, whether they want
them or not. Pocket-sized cameras
of surprising quality are available in
drug stores and gas stations, publica-
tions such as The New York Times offer
pages of advertising for larger, yet
more sophisticated models, and the
Internet is a hive of discount prices on
digital cameras of all types and sizes.
For most of us, photography is an
even tougher dollar than living off
the publishing of our writings, but
the comparison doesnt stop there.
The Digital Age has blurred many
of the boundaries of publishing. It
has also provided us with significant
platforms such as Flickr, Instagram,
Facebook, and Twitter, as well as
untold digital zines to display pho-
tographs. Larger bookstores shelve
ambitious sections of books published
by fine-art photographers. Although
these seldom make the bestseller lists,
they are bought in the same spirit
romances, mysteries, or science fiction
are purchased by their fans.
Robert Adams spent about eight
years teaching college-level English
courses before taking the dramatic
and, for him, necessary step of quit-
ting to become a photographer. His
major focus has been documenting
the development of what he calls the
modern West. His work has been
widely exhibited in prestigious muse-
ums and acquired by collectors. He
has published at least five collections
of his own photos, and essays about
aspects of photography in which he
has illustrated his points with photos
of other photographers he admires.
Why People Photograph, published
by Aperture, a fine arts photography
publisher, is a thoughtful, provoca-
tive collection of essays and photo-
graphs wound about the armature of,
in Adams words, of discovering the
effort we all make, photographers and
non-photographers, to affirm life with-
out lying about it. As such, the book
has no hint of pedagogy or academia,
but rather a naked, refreshing record
of an artists attempt to see some mea-
sure of truth in the things that interest
him. I found early on in my reading of
it how possible it was to get the effect
of a twofer by substituting the word
writing every time I came to the
word photography. I was particularly
intrigued by an essay, Writing, in
which Adams addresses the questions
about the meaning of their work art-
ists are asked with some regularity
and which they try not to answer in
the belief that the work should speak
for itself, otherwise it would not have
been shown.
Why People Photograph is divided
into three basic sections, What Can
Help, has essays on some of Adams
colleagues, a well-thought-out piece
on humor in writing and in photog-
raphy, about collectors of photogra-
phy, the essay Writing, a discus-
sion about teaching, and a remarkable
memoir about dogs.
Examples of Success discusses
in writing and with photographs a
number of photographers, including
Edward Weston, Laura Gilpin, Judith
Joy Ross, Ansel Adams, and Dorothea
Lange.
Working Conditions contains
essays on the nineteenth-century
American West and the twentieth-
century evolution of the West. The
final essay, Two Landscapes, begins
with the poignant observation, At
our best and most fortunate we make
pictures because of what stands in
front of the camera, to honor what is
greater and more interesting than we
are. We never accomplish this per-
fectly, though in return, we are given
something perfect a sense of inclu-
sion. Our subject thus redefines us,
and is part of the biography by which
we want to be known.
This straightforward voice is light
years away from discussion of lenses,
f-stops, and shutter speeds, mercifully
free of buzzwords and theory, rather
it is a sincere focus on the pictures
we take when we formulate ideas or
experience bedrock feelings in our
encounters with persons, places, and
things we consider to be beautiful.
Were you and I to drive to the plains
together, Adams observes, and the
day turned out to be a good one, we
might not say much. We might there
find a balance of form and openness,
even of community and freedom. It
would be the world as we hoped, and
we would recognize it together. MJ
n.o.t.e.s. from downtown
by Jim Alexander
Song Sung Blue
Mr. Alexander is a
renowned song exorcist
whose reputation was
enhanced immeasurably
when he successfully
removed Neil Diamonds
Sweet Caroline from
Celine Dions frontal lobe
A
n alert reader named Lora
Martin sent me a story about
a woman whos had the same
song stuck in her head for three
years, with no end in sight. I nor-
mally delete all unsolicited emails,
especially emails from this particu-
lar person who borders on being a
stalker and makes me do the dishes
and take out the garbage, but the
subject line of the email said column
fodder and since I had a column due
and was desperate for an idea, I took
a chance.
Weve all had a song stuck in our
head for an hour or two, but Susan
Root, a 63-year-old British woman,
has had the 1950s hit How Much is
that Doggie in the Window stuck in
her head since before Snooki classed
up the Jersey shore.
My first thought was: That poor,
unfortunate woman, but it could be
worse. How Much is that Doggie in
the Window isnt exactly A Change
is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke, but at
least its not Paul Ankas Having My
Baby or Who Let the Dogs Out, or,
God forbid, Christmas Shoes.
The Sun reports that Root has been
tortured previously by the tunes God
Save the Queen, and Auld Lang
Syne. This woman clearly needs to
listen to a better radio station.
Ms. Root has been diagnosed with
a form of tinnitus called musical hal-
lucinations more commonly known
as earworms. Earworms? Can they
give it a more disgusting name? Why
not ear poop or ear yogurt? I believe
Id skip the common name and stick
with the technical musical halluci-
nations. Sure, some uptight people
might be a bit standoffish when you
tell them you suffer from musical
hallucinations, but just sit down on a
couch at any party and tell everyone
you have earworms and watch peo-
ple scatter like lawyers at the words
Pro Bono.
Ive come to accept that Im proba-
bly going to be stuck with this hellish
condition for the rest of my life, Root
said. I have an idea how poor Susan
feels. As pathetic grandparents will-
ing to buy adoration, Lora and I will
occasionally cash in a CD or two and
take our grandbrats to Disneyland.
Its truly the happiest place on earth,
next to The Red Lobsters Endless
Shrimp. But I refuse to go on Its a
Small World until days end because
that mind-numbing ditty clings to
my brain like a diabetic tarantula to
Rachael Rays thigh, and it wont go
away until we get back to the car and
I can plug in some B.B. King.
The closest Ive come to Ms. Roots
quandary is back in 1971. I worked
at Jacks Steakhouse in Goleta and
my boss introduced me to his child-
hood friend, Dan Blocker (Hoss
Cartwright). Mr. Blocker got me a
job that summer cooking Hoss burg-
ers at the Ponderosa Ranch in Incline
Village, Nevada. I even got to live
in Dans house for a while. I knew
I was in trouble the first day on
the job. Right across from my cook-
ing station was the candy store and
they blared Sammy Davis Jr.s The
Candy Man nonstop. I tried ear-
plugs, Transcendental meditation
(hey, it was the 70s!), and aversion
therapy (slapping my coworker with
a greasy spatula) to no avail. I even
bought them copies of Lollypop by
The Chordettes, and I Want Candy
by The Strangeloves and pleaded
with them to switch it up occasional-
ly, but they refused. Finally, I resorted
to changing the lyrics to the song and
belting it out as loud as I could while
flipping burgers, in an attempt to
drown out Sammy. Who can take a
sunrise, sprinkle it with glue, cover
it with goat vomit and a glob of
dog do-do, The Candy Man, oh The
Candy Man can, but management
protested, aggressively.
So, I feel your pain, Susan. I know
youve seen numerous doctors and
none of the so-called experts have
come up with a solution. However, if
youll take some advice from some-
one whos about as lay as a layperson
can get, I suggest you try to make
yourself feel better by visiting the
Happiest Place on Earth. And, you
might get a two-fer. Id bet a Hoss
burger that Its A Small World can
jettison that Doggie song right out
of your brain for good. MJ

Group Explores near Death Experiences

T
he International Association for
Near Death Studies (IANDS) is
a non-profit organization with
a mission to respond to the need for
information and support concerning
near-death and similar experiences.
The Santa Barbara group often features
speakers at their monthly meeting and
on February 13, Claudia Christian,
Hollywood actress and author, shared
her dramatic near death experience.
In 1982, at the age of 17, Claudia
was driving her compact car in the fast
lane on a busy Los Angeles freeway.
A large van full of young men kept
catching up to her, harassing her with
catcalls and other lascivious behav-
ior. Claudia said she made a colossal
mistake and flipped them off. In
response, they purposefully bashed
into her car. Claudias car hit the cen-
ter divider, flipped over, hit the cars
travelling in the other lanes and final-
ly came to a stop upside down in what
she describes as a ball of tin foil. At
this point she found herself outside of
her body. She saw horrified bystand-
ers pointing to her mangled body and
her first thought was, There is no
way Im going back there.
Then she saw her deceased loved
ones and was overjoyed to be reunited
with her beloved brother Patrick, who
had been killed at the age of 14 by
a drunk driver. She and her brother
communicated telepathically and he
kept telling her that she needed to
go back. Claudia began to feel a tre-
mendous amount of guilt. Knowing
that her parents had already lost one
child, she didnt want to hurt them
further. But she wanted to stay with
her brother and did not want to go
back to that broken body. She began
to feel a God-like presence communi-
cating with her, telling her it was not
her time and that she had to go back
because she had other things to do.
Claudia came back into her body and
although she suffered a severe head
injury that needed immediate surgery,
she survived.
Like so many others who have expe-
rienced near death experiences, it was
a life-changing event for Claudia.
She felt it gave her a tremendous
amount of confidence because she
knew she must be on Earth for a rea-
son. Although she was a working, suc-
cessful actor for many years, she feels
that her true life purpose didnt reveal
itself until later in life. After becoming
an alcoholic and a binge drinker in
her late 30s and early 40s, none of the
traditional rehab methods were help-
ful. Finally, she discovered the Sinclair
Method and is devoted to educating
others about it. Christian recounts her
Hollywood experience along with the
subsequent cure of her alcoholism
with The Sinclair Method in Babylon
Confidential: A Memoir of Love, Sex, and
Addiction.
Many people are reluctant to dis-
cuss their near death experiences for
fear of peoples reactions. Claudia
was no exception. Throughout most
of her life, Claudia didnt tell anyone
about it and the recent Santa Barbara
IANDS meeting was her first time to
speak of it publicly. IANDS provides
a supportive place for people to pro-
cess and talk about their NDE, which
many consider to be the most pro-
found experience of their lives.
The IANDS group can also be
extremely helpful for people who are
grieving over the death of a loved
one. Barbara Bartolom, the orga-
nizer of the Santa Barbara IANDS
group says, Many people attend
who havent experienced a NDE, but
may be facing death or have lost a
loved one and are grieving. Hearing
our guest speakers talk about the
beauty and reality of their NDE
experience helps people to under-
stand that we all continue to exist
beyond death and that we will con-
nect with our loved ones, and the
divine creator, on the other side of
the veil. This is extremely healing
information and it radically changes
peoples outlook on death, as well as
their view of life.
The next meeting will be held
March 13 from 7 pm-9 pm, at Unity
Church Sanctuary, 227 East Arrellaga
Street, with Guest Speaker Lisa Veit.
Later this year, Dr. Eben Alexander,
best-selling author of Proof of Heaven:
A Neurosurgeons Journey into the
Afterlife, will be a featured speaker.

Miller McCune executive director of
the popular program, which attracts
a host of international performers and
acts to our tony town annually.
Tony is the ultimate in class, a
golden-voiced crooner whose songs
have won over fans across genera-
tions. This event is also the crown
jewel in our campaign and will spe-
cifically benefit our education and
outreach programs.
Its definitely going to be a once-in-
a-lifetime experience.
We wanted someone very special,
someone iconic who represents the
best in the arts... We knew we want-
ed Tony and luckily he agreed to
come! It is extremely rare to see him
in such a small setting.
Tony, who I used to see regular-
ly when I was an habitu of inter-
national nightclub queen, Regines
eponymous Park Avenue hotspot
in Manhattans Delmonico building
in the 80s, is also an accomplished
artist, painting under his real name
Anthony Benedetto, with his work
in Washingtons Smithsonian, among
other institutions.
Most of the tickets for his Montecito
show have already been snapped up,
but if youre interested, single duc-
ats are in the four-figure range, with
tables going into the five figures.
A classic singer and a worthy cause.
What a combination!
Do or Dye for Kevin
It looks like it is curling tongs at
dawn between longtime Biltmore
crimper Kevin Charles and the ritzy
hostelrys owner, Ty Warner.
After 20 years styling and cutting
the hair of celebrities and the ladies
who lunch, the British hairdresser was
told to pack up his blow dryer and
other equipment and vacate the prem-
ises, along with his six staff.
It came totally out of the blue and
I am in total shock and horror at what
has happened, says a bewildered
Kevin.
I was in the middle of a haircut
on Thursday evening and one of Tys
representatives came in and handed
me a piece of paper, which asked me
to vacate the premises immediately.
Needless to say, I am totally baffled,
as well as furious.
I am current with my rent, so that
cant be the problem. But Ty Warner is
very intimidating, but lawyers I have
consulted say he cant do what he has
done, so obviously I will be taking this
further.
I think it might be a mistake on
their part, a miscommunication. Even
the hotels management didnt seem
to know about it.
In the meantime, Kevin has set
up shop in his good friend Pamela
Tivons Hair Lounge, near the Bird
Refuge.
I have been able to take four staff-
ers with me while I try to sort this
mess out, adds Kevin. It is all very
humiliating and I have not been able
to sleep a wink.
In the meantime, Kevin and his aco-
lytes can be reached on 805.300.4004
for appointments.
Gena Downey, the Biltmores
spokeswoman for the Four Seasons,
which is the manager of the property
for all operations including tenants,
had no comment on the follicle furor.

Michaels Generous Gift
Montecito philanthropist and invet-
erate car collector Michael Hammer
just presented a multi-million dollar
gift to the Oral Roberts University in
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The money helped pay for a $12
million, 28,000-sq-ft alumni-student
center, the first new building on the
50-year-old colleges sprawling cam-
pus in 30 years.
Michael, who presented the lead
gift for the development, says he was
at a conference in 2001 with Richard
Roberts, then the colleges president,
when he mentioned the need for the
center and lead donation to kick off
the project.
I raised my hand and said I
would do it, says Michael, chairman
and CEO of the Armand Hammer
Foundation, named after his grand-
father, oil tycoon and Occidental
Petroleum founder, Armand Hammer.
It took more than a decade, but this
is the time it was meant to be.
Michael also has something else to
celebrate.
His actor son, Armie Hammer, co-
stars with Johnny Depp in the upcom-
ing Disney film, The Lone Ranger,
which hits the big screen in July...
Sports Drive
With the 4th annual Sports Drive at

by a bunch of Montecito youngsters,

Spotlight on Montecito
I note the Wall Street Journal has
focused on four Montecito residents in
its pages recently.
Dan and Debbie Kass had their
12,000-sq-ft aerie, Chateau Sur La Mer,
which comes with eight bedrooms
and 12 bathrooms on five acres, along
with a movie theater and a two-bed-
room guesthouse, chosen as House
of the Day in the newspapers real
estate section.
The dynamic duo, who have the
estate, just a tiaras toss from the
San Ysidro Ranch, on the market
for $19,995,000 through uber realtor
Suzanne Perkins at Sothebys, intend
to downsize, but are staying in our
rarefied enclave.
Another tony estate, Los Suenos,
built by architect George Washington
Smith in 1929, was also featured in a
news article.
Owned by attorney Robert Lieff
and his wife, Gretchen, the seven-
bedroom, nine-bathroom 10,500-sq-ft
manse on three and half acres, was
bought last year for $10.5 million and
has undergone major landscaping
work.
Now Gretchen, a former San
Francisco TV news reporter, has
founded a society honoring Lutah
Maria Riggs, who collaborated with
Smith on many of his projects.
She is also participating in an
upcoming exhibition and documen-
tary film about her...
Momentum of Folly
The plot of Santa Barbara author
Robert Johnsons new book the
momentum of folly is, by any standards,
extraordinary.
Its a barely sci-fi thriller based in
the very present that addresses the
premise that overpopulation is the
primary driver behind most, if not
all, of our environmental challenges
and therefore poses the single greatest
threat to our planet and to humanity
itself, Robert, a screenwriter, told me
at a launch bash at Tecolote, the lively
literary lair in the Upper Village.
Its the quandary of culling two
thirds of the worlds population four
and a half billion random, innocent
people... It is my hope that the book
might do for overpopulation what
An Inconvenient Truth did for climate
change.
The book was initially written as a
film treatment, starting 15 years ago,
but, after 9/11, fell by the wayside.
It was avoided like a steamy dia-
per! grimaces Robert, who studied
at the UCLA Department of Film,
Theater and Television. I decided
then to do the plot as a book and self
publish. The decision caused a perma-
nent rift between my agent and me,
and sent us off in our own directions.
The author wrote his first book,
Thirteen Moons: A Year in the Wilderness,
about living in a teepee by the
American River in the High Sierras, in
2000, and is currently working on his
third tome The Featherman about the
discovery of Australia.
Its East meets West, science versus
mysticism. A look at different cul-
tures, adds Robert...

Concert for Kotor
Montecito met Montenegro when
Victoria Hines and Vickie Williams
co-chaired a concert and reception at
the Music Academy of the West.
The second annual performance
celebrated Santa Barbaras sister city,
Kotor, with local-born international
pianist, Ratimir Martinovic, giving a
performance of seven works featur-
ing Chopin, Mozart, Bach and others
as polished as his suit at Hahn Hall.
Its a way of promoting the rela-
tionship between our two cities, says
Victoria, who visited the picturesque
coastal town of 13,510 people on the
Adriatic last year with other local
worthies, including mayor Helene
Schneider.
Among those enjoying the music,
and quaffing the wine and noshing the
canaps were John Saladino, Annette
Caleel, Fred Sidon, Dan Kepl, Carter
Hines, Scott Reed, Tiffany DeVries,
Harry and Judi Weisbart and Teresa
McWilliams...
Reception at the Janssens
Social gridlock reigned when entre-
preneur Rich Janssen and his wife,
Luci, hosted a UCSB Arts & Lectures
bash with PBS host and physicist
Brian Greene.
The elegant soire at the former
home of Back to the Future director
Robert Zemeckis also celebrated the
launch of A&Ls five-year $20 million
fundraising campaign, the first in its
53 year history.
Brian, who hosts NOVAs The Fabric
of the Cosmos, is a Harvard graduate
and studied at Oxford University as
a Rhodes Scholar, and has been a pro-
fessor of physics and mathematics at
Columbia University since 1996.
He later spoke at Campbell Hall to a
sold-out crowd.
Bold faced names abounded at the
cerebral bash, including Leslie Ridley-
Tree, Sara Miller McCune, Dan
Burnham, Carla Hahn, Anne Towbes,
Paul Orfalea, UCSB Chancellor Henry
Yang and his wife, Dilling, and Fred
Steck...
Awesome Aida
Opera Santa Barbaras newest pro-
duction Aida really did start with a
bang!
The huge explosion on curtain up at
the Granada marked the introduction
of an entirely new three-hour version
of Verdis beloved 1871 production.
Gone were the ancient Egyptian
backdrops with elephants and cam-
els, replaced with machine guns,
jeeps and a setting from designer Lee
Savage more akin to the recent Libyan
revolution, with bullet strewn walls
and bombed infrastructure.
Francesca Zambellos version
of Aida, first shown at New Yorks
esteemed Glimmerglass Festival last
year, concentrated on the romance
rather than the spectacle to excellent
effect under revival director Michael
Rau.
The three principals in the love
triangle Michelle Johnson as
enslaved Ethiopian princess Aida, for-
mer Baltimore Ravens player Tau
Pupua as besotted lover Radames
and Catherine Martin as jealous
royal Amneris were perfect picks to
accompany the music conducted by
veteran Valery Ryvkin.
Accompanying them, Kevin
Thompson, Christopher Remmel,
Matthew Edwardsen, Norman
Garrett and Reyna Carguill, couldnt
have been better support, as were cho-
reographer Eric Sean Fogels dancers.
And the colorful costumes by Bibhu
Mohapatra just added to the spec-
tacle.
This was a most marvelous produc-
tion by any standard!...
Anniversary Celebration
Veteran Hollywood publicist Milton
Kahn just celebrated his 35th wedding
anniversary with his wife, former
model and public relations executive
Bridgette.
The couple, who moved to Montecito
from Beverly Hills in 1984 purchas-
ing the home once lived in by an heir-
ess of the Winchester family , marked
the occasion with an intimate dinner
together at Stella Mare.
We met when I was driving my
Corvette down Canon Drive in
Beverly Hills and she was walking
into a jewelry repair shop, says
Milton, who used to rep the likes of
Gregory Peck, Joan Crawford, Glenn
Ford and Michael Landon.
We had a token date in 1965, but
she was in a relationship with a USC
tennis star.
I never saw her again until 1977
when she was divorced. I just knew I
was going to marry her and, one year
later, tied the knot at the Highlands
Inn in Carmel and then honeymooned
in Big Sur.
My congratulations...

George H.W. Bush and for President
Bill Clinton from 1989-1993, described
Schwarzkopf, who commanded the
U.S.-led battle that drove Saddam
Husseins forces out of Kuwait in
1991, as someone who believed in
this country deeply, he believed in his
family totally, he was a warrior who
had to send men and women to war,
but he loved each and every one and
made sure they came back safely.
Since he retired as secretary of state
eight years ago, Powell has traveled
around the country to speak at various
events. By getting out of Washington
and speaking, Ive learned so much
about what we can be, he says.
Above [all our problems], what I still
see are people with nothing, people
who believe that together, as a com-
munity, we can make this a better
place. We always have.
Reflecting on Westmont President
Gayle D. Beebes talk about French
political thinker Alexis de Tocqueville
who wrote Democracy in America in
1835, Powell says that America has a
remarkable resilient ability to always
come up on top of its problems.
The day marked the first of the U.S
federal budgets sequestration, a point
that was not lost on Powell.
Even though we have these chal-
lenges now, what I see throughout the
country are people who have had it
with whats going on in Washington,
but at the same time we still believe,
he said. We still dont look back. We
are Americans, and we face challenges
like this as one.
Powell described President Reagan
as a remarkable man, who taught
him much about leadership. He told a
story from most recent book, It Worked
for Me: Lessons in Leadership and Life,
in which President Reagan ignores
Powell who is briefing the president
about an internal government conflict
that he was overseeing. Colin, look!
the president replied. The squirrels
just came and got the nuts I put in the
Rose Garden this morning.
Then it struck me, and it was some-
thing that I knew all along, but he
crystallized it for me, Powell says.
He was saying Colin, I love you and
I will sit here as long as you want me
to, letting you tell me your problems.
You let me know when I have a prob-
lem, and then I wont be looking at the
squirrels in the Rose Garden.
Powell says he also learned to get
the best people around you and to then
empower them to get the job done, so
you wont have to do it all yourself.
Have a zone of indifference, he
says. I always get every one of my
subordinates knowing what they can
do in the zone before coming to me.
And when it is my problem, then you
come to me. Until then, Go guys,
youre empowered. I trust you. Go get
it done. And thats what Reagan was
saying. And it worked for him, except
on those few occasions when he didnt
have the right people in place.
Powell recalled a 1988 meeting with
President Reagan about the Japanese
buying Rockefeller Center, Pebble
Beach Golf Course and other U.S
properties. The cabinet is going nuts,
We gotta see the president, something
has to be done, Powell says. And
they marched into the Oval Office,
commerce, trade, everybody and they
started beating up the president about
the Japanese buying everything. And
the president is really focused; hes
not looking at the squirrels or any-
thing. And then when they were all
through, waiting for some great direc-
tion from the president, Reagan says,
Well, you know, Im glad they think
America is a good investment. Over.
Meetings over. He said whats wrong
with you guys worrying about trivial
stuff. If these folks believe in us, why
dont we believe in us? And that was
the end of the conversation.
The beauty of Reagan was his
ability not to get pulled down into
the weeds all the time. Communism
is bad. The Soviet Union is bad.
Democracy is good. We will prevail.
Lets stay strong and they will col-
lapse. And they did. And he was the
one who set the stage for that kind of
collapse. MJ

Powell Reflects
on Leadership at Breakfast
by Scott Craig (photos by Brad Elliott)
R
etired Gen. Colin Powell used
a combination of poignant sto-
ries and humorous anecdotes
to keep more than 750 people in rapt
attention during the 7 am Westmont
Presidents Breakfast on March 1 at
Fess Parkers DoubleTree Resort.
He dramatically wove stories about
camels, squirrels and hotdog vendors
around reflections of soldiers at war,
lessons of leadership learned from
President Ronald Reagan and tales of
Americas resiliency.
Powell, who had eulogized Gen.
Norman Schwarzkopf at the U.S.
Military Academy at West Point the
day before the breakfast, has fond
memories of Santa Barbara when he
was Reagans national security advis-
er from 1987-1989.
Though it was a relaxing time,
its not as if nothing was going on,
Powell says. The Soviet Union was
collapsing, among other things, but
the president knew he had to relax
and recharge his batteries and Santa
Barbara was the place where we
always wanted to come.

Joint Chiefs of Staff for both President

Established in 1964, the Montecito
Trails Foundation maintains approxi-
mately 200 miles of scenic trails
popular with hikers, runners, moun-
tain bikers and equestrians through-
out Montecito, Summerland and
Carpinteria. MTF is an active liai-
son with local government, playing a
key role in the acquisition and accep-
tance of trails by the County of Santa
Barbara and working with landown-
ers to negotiate trail easements. MTF
is a volunteer organization funded
solely through tax-deductible mem-
bership dues and donations.
I am looking forward to some great
ideas and brainstorming sessions,
especially concerning our objective
of finding creative ways to increase
awareness of the importance of our
trails, and encouraging everyone to
join us as stewards of this amazing
resource, King said in a statement.
In other changes to the Board, out-
going president Kevin Snow will now
step into the vice president position.
Sheila Snow will continue as board

illegal Fire in Montecito
Monday, 18 February, 12:28 pm Deputy Maupin and Senior Deputy Watkins
responded to Gibraltar Road to assist Montecito Fire Department with a fire
investigation. The fire captain told the deputies his engine responded to a
residence on the road on report of a possible vegetation fire. The owner of the
residence told the captain that he was conducting a controlled burn of vegeta-
tion on his property. The man had let the fire burn for about 10 minutes before
putting it out with a garden hose. He explained to the deputies that he had
paid for a burn permit with County Fire in 2008. Since then he had conducted
several controlled burns on his property, all illegally. Once before, MPFD had
responded to a burn on his property, and told him he needed to obtain a permit
from Montecito Fire, not County Fire. He said he knew burn permits needed to
be obtained on a yearly basis, but he did not obtain one.
The case was forwarded to the District Attorney, who charged the man with
knowingly setting an agricultural fire without a valid permit.
Electronics Stolen on Oak Grove Drive
Thursday, 21 February, 9:16 am Deputy Dickey was assigned to investigate
a possible burglary on Oak Grove Drive. The reporting party was a man who
resides at a residence on the street with his wife and two kids. The residence
is divided between three buildings, with one building being used as an office
attached to a garage. On February 15, the man and his wife went out of town,
leaving the kids with a babysitter. When they returned three days later, the man
found several items missing from his office, which he had left unlocked. They
included a digital camera, an iPad, a computer keyboard, headphones, and a
sound dock. The babysitter reported using the keyboard the night of February
15, but did not use the office again while the couple was gone. The man also
contacted the owner of the landscaping company he uses, to see if the garden-
ers that were at the residence saw anything suspicious. Latent fingerprints were
lifted, and a report was taken. MJ
include furniture, rugs, small appli-
ances, kitchenware, garden acces-
sories, fine linens, antiques, silver,
crystal, china, art, collectibles, books,
board games, music and movies, elec-
tronics, jewelry, mens and womens

El Montecito Early School
Kids Outreach Program
F
or 2013, El Montecito Early
School continues its kids help-
ing kids outreach program done
every spring. The program involves
the teachers, preschool kids and their
parents selecting a local or internation-
al organization and learning about the
needs and mission of it. From there,
they decide the best way to help.
This February, Suzy Dobreski,
Director of the Early School, guided
the school in learning more about the
special needs of children that attend
Rancho Sordo Mudo, a school in Baja
California, Mexico for deaf children
from the ages five through eighteen.
The Early School children are learn-
ing sign language, praying for each
student, collecting donations and par-
ticipating in a coin drive to help the
school and the students there. Teacher
Jackie Gonzalez and Suzy will be vis-
iting the school in Baja in April. Suzy
explains, We are excited to visit the
school that we have been studying
about. We will bring the donations
and a custom video as a special gift.
Most of all, Jackie and I are excited to
meet the children and teachers of this
very special school. It is so exciting
to connect people from all over the
world and to serve the needs of others
through the Early School.
As part of the outreach program,
Suzy invited the Santa Barbara City
College American Sign Language
Professor Ignacio Ponce and two
current Santa Barbara City College
students, Saree Hamm and Sarah
Millard, to join in the sign language
learning activities. Professor Ignacio
visited with each classroom and
taught the preschoolers how to sign
their names and colors. For the cul-
mination of their time together, the
El Montecito Early School kids gave
a special concert in the church sanc-
tuary. The children sang two songs
in sign language as a special gift for
Professor Ignacio and Rancho Sordo
Mudo. Redmond Digital Media,
under the direction of Bobby and
Mycah Burns, were able to make a
video of this special morning for the
school. For more information about
the school in Baja, visit www.rancho

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

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

toral degree in piano performance
only recently, will join the chorus
and orchestra in a performance of the
Beethoven Choral Fantasy. Adding to
the familial appeal, Dr. Wassermans
wife, Jessica Oudin, one of the new-
est members of the Atlanta Symphony
viola section, will join the orchestra
for the concerts.
The Beethoven, while magnificent,
only serves as the concert closer, how-
ever, after the chorus and compa-
ny perform two works by Mozart,
including his Grand Mass in C Minor.
Written in 1782 to honor his wife,
Constanze, and considered one of
Mozarts greatest compositions, the
massive masterwork features four
soloists two sopranos, one baritone
and one bass plus a double chorus,
and a large orchestra. Mozarts Regina
Coeli also opens the second half before
Beethovens Choral Fantasy.
After recent seasons boasting
adventurous new works includ-
ing LoveLoveLove: A Tribute to the
Beatles with Sir George Martin, and
the West Coast premiere of the Rain
Sequence by African-American
composer Dr. Rollo Dilworth
Wasserman chose the much-beloved
classics to follow Decembers perfor-
mances of Handels Messiah for these
late winter shows.
These are timeless pieces, great
masterworks, fabulous music peo-
ple love to hear and to sing, she
explained. They need to be per-
formed and kept alive. And were the
organization in town that can do that.
They work so well together. You really
cant beat it. Its just great music.
Classic doesnt mean any less chal-
lenging, however, and Wasserman has
retained two visiting sopranos opera
star Rena Harms (who is known local-
ly via appearances with Opera Santa
Barbara and the Music Academy of
the West) and Indiana-based Alyssa
Martin to take on the difficult roles,
alongside New York City Opera veter-
an tenor Benjamin Brecher and Santa
Barbara-based bass Keith Colclough.
The Mozart takes a special kind
of voice, Wasserman said. Its the
first time Ive worked with the two
sopranos and they come very highly
recommended, and I know they have
beautiful voices. I think theyll all
work very well together.
Its something of a trial-by-fire for
Martin, a last-minute replacement
for Santa Barbara-based Nichole
Dechaine, who had to bow out in
mid-February due to a bout of lar-
yngitis, Wasserman said. The direc-
tor found Martin through Met singer
Carol Vaness; Martin is her student at
Indiana University.
Its a specialized part and it
takes a certain type of voice to sing
it, Wasserman explained. Carol
responded to my message for help
immediately, and said, I think Ive got
someone whos perfect. From what
Ive heard, shes right.
In the meantime, on the tail end of
cold and flu season, Wasserman is
keeping her fingers crossed that the
Choral Societys own several stricken
singers have fully recovered and that
nobody else gets sick. If someone has
even a sniffle I make them sit in the
back of the room away from every-
body else. Thats the kind of thing
that keeps conductors up at night. But
I think well be at full steam by the
weekend.
All the better, since the Societys
new home at San Roque Church is
blessed with fantastic acoustics, an
ambiance that lets the audience hear
every solo syllable and tonal nuance.
Its incredible, especially for cho-
ral music, Wasserman said. Its live
but not so much so that the music gets
lost. Its perfect for voices. Ive been
excited ever since I made the choice
to play this great music there and I
cant wait to hear how it sounds in
that space.
The Santa Barbara Choral Societys
Masterworks concerts take place 8 pm
Saturday and 3 pm Sunday at San Roque
Catholic Church, 3200 Calle Cedro.
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door
($20 seniors/students). Call 965-6577 or

Painting a Musical
Landscape

Jeanne Lamon, Tafelmusik Baroque
Orchestras artistic director, was
awfully difficult to reach late last
week to arrange an interview for
Tuesdays upcoming concert at the
Lobero. Thats because she was wind-
ing up auditions for a new violist for
the ensemble before leaving on tour.
Which for most classical ensembles
isnt all that unusual. But this was the
first time Lamon had to flex the hiring
muscle in more than a decade.
Thats right Tafelmusik hasnt had
a change in personnel in more than 10
years, an astonishing record of stabil-
ity for any classical musical outfit, let
alone one that specializes in some-
thing as esoteric as Baroque music
played on period instruments. And
JoAnne Wassermans son, Atlanta-based concert
pianist Alexander Wasserman, will be the guest
pianist for this weekends concerts

7 14 March 2013 MONTECITO JOURNAL 35 If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Scott Adams
EnTERTAinMEnT (Continued from page 33)
its that consistency that has afford-
ed the Toronto-based orchestra the
opportunity to create its fascinating
and absorbing multimedia programs
Galileo and the upcoming House
of Dreams, challenging works that
require the musicians to memorize the
entire evening.
Where Galileo mixed science
with music, theater and images of
space shot from the Hubble telescope,
Dreams journeys to the meeting
places of baroque art and music more
specifically, five European homes
where works by Bach, Handel, Vivaldi
and Marais were played against a
backdrop of paintings by Vermeer,
Canaletto and Watteau. The new piece
also includes an actort and projected
images of the actual European loca-
tions.
Lamon talked about House of
Dreams, and her time at Tafelmusik.
Q. How does this work play out?
A. The actor starts out being a tour-
ist in London at the Handel House.
He tells stories of what was going
on, the connection between the music
and the art. The text and music flows
from one house to another, and we
learn bits of history and fascinating
sub stories about everything from the
culture to the importance of mineral
collectors, who provided the stuff that
was made into paint. The actor brings
all the threads together. Its not easy to
describe. But everybody who has seen
it has been very moved by how well it
works together.
How were the specific pieces of music
and art chosen?
They were either played inside that
specific house, or were associated
with the city. These are all pretty stan-
dard familiar baroque composers. Its
a very accessible piece. And the art is
easy to access too. But its ingenious
how its woven together. Putting
both in the context of each other, and
explaining how it fits together is pret-
ty fascinating. You come out thinking
that all means more to me now. All of
the places are still in existence today;
thats why we chose them. They can
be visited. Many of the paintings are
still hanging there.
Tafelmusik pretty much pioneered this
genre, right?
Multimedia concerts are the wave
of the future. Especially if you have
ADD. You cant be bored. And the
musicians are moving on stage too.
Its not like a regular orchestra where
everyone is sitting still. We walk
amongst the audience, were part of
the experience. It takes it way out of
the realm of a normal concert.
Its rare for a baroque orchestra to play
as many concerts at home as Tafelmusik
does, some fifty a year Im told. Why has
it proven so popular in Toronto?
Its more like sixty actually. We do
eleven or twelve different programs
every year, and we play them each
about five times. I think we create
our own audiences, our market. If its
good, people like it and they come.
Now after some years the music has
become a destination thing. Its classy
to be a subscriber to Tafelmusik. Its
got a lot of cachet. Were the only
group in Canada that tours all the
time. Were like the poster child for
the arts in Canada. Make that North
America, because theres nothing like
that in the USA either, at least not for
baroque orchestra.
So here you are at the height of your
powers, with a fantastic audience base,
exciting new programs, and yet you have
announced that after thirty-three years
beginning only a couple of years after
Tafelmusik started you will be stepping
down as music director after next season.
Why now?
Like you said, Ive been here thirty-
three years. Its the best thing for
Tafelmusik to get some fresh young
blood, someone who would take them
to the next level. Ive done everything
I possibly can. Ive given my whole
life to this project. I cant go any fur-
ther. Its time for someone else to step
in. I cant inspire anymore and thats
the job of a leader. So I think the great-
est gift I can give Tafelmusik which
I love so much is to make them go
out and find new blood. I wont leave
them in the lurch. Im stepping back
and seeing what happens. It might
take some time for the transition.
What comes up when you take a look
back at some of your fondest memories
and/or most difficult issues?
Most challenging has been the fact
that classical music isnt recognized,
or rather is seen as elite. Thats dis-
turbing because I dont see it that
way. Its unfortunate that people think
its extraneous, especially when all
the evidence shows that any child
exposed to music does way better in
all the other academic subjects. So its
stupid. And its such an uphill battle,
to have to defend the value of classical
music. What I appreciate the most are
the musicians. Theyre an unbeliev-
able group of committed, intelligent,
kind, and talented people, and I will
miss them very dearly. Im really only
leaving because I think its best for
them.
Any idea what youll be doing next?
I want to do some more indepen-
dent projects, maybe direct an opera
here and there. And I just dont have
time for that now. Tafelmusik has
been my life.

Bonjour Marie Montreal dance troupe
Compagnie Marie Chouinard makes its
Santa Barbara debut tonight, becoming
the latest renowned international dance
company to grace the Granada in the
10-year tenure of executive director
Celeste Billeci. The Chouinard company
will perform its provocative, re-imagined
version of The Rite of Spring in celebration
of the 100th birthday of the modernist
work, which caused a near riot when it
debuted in Paris in 1913 as the crowds
were shocked by Stravinskys dissonant
score, the primal themes and aesthetics
of Nijinskys choreography, and the
dancers stark, barren costumes. Unlike
most choreographic interpretations,
Chouinard constructed her Rite around
solos, seeking to awaken the intimate
mystery of each dancer, employing
animalistic gestures from the partially clad
dancers to capture the incendiary spirit
of the original, eyebrow-raising piece
for our own time. Also on the program
is 24 Preludes by Chopin, constructed
around dynamic alternations in movement
that constantly resonate with the music
and the feelings it evokes, from chastity
and introspection to ardor and rebellion.
