101 Widening Woes Wind Down
O
n January 16, the 13 members of Santa Barbara County Association of
Governments (SBCAG) Board of Directors voted 11-2 for moving for-
ward with the widening of Highway 101 from Montecito to Carpinteria
as defined in the Caltrans Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The some-
times heated discussion, scheduled for an hour, morphed into a seven-hour
debate featuring the SBCAG Board, some 50 speakers, Caltrans, the California
Highway Patrol (CHP), and the Measure A 2012 Citizens Oversight Committee.
The key to reaching an agreement was a carefully crafted compromise offered
by First District County Supervisor Salud Carbajal that bridged the differences
between South and North County supervisors and mayors.
Issues Clarified
The 11-2 vote by the five county supervisors and the eight mayors or city
council members brought an unexpected clarity to the difficult issues of defin-
ing the project scope, choosing a design alternative, and finding a funding
pathway for a widened 101 through the narrowest and most constrained right-
of-way in the 60-mile widening corridor.
Advantages to Montecito
1) Widen now
The SBCAG vote to proceed and widen now means that the start of the wid-
ening in Montecito could begin as early as 2017. That date could be derailed by
lawsuits claiming that an inadequate EIR requires re-circulation. Had the EIR
re-circulation option been endorsed by SBCAG, the earliest construction start
would have been 2020 to 2022, if ever.
We are now into the seventh year of the 101 EIR controversy. Funding will be
challenging. The project is at least $150 million short in needed state and federal
allocations. This project has to be competitive with similar projects when apply-
ing for state and federal money.
The 11-2 vote for EIR approval sends an unambiguous signal to Sacramento
that the concept EIR phases for the widening between Montecito and Carpinteria
are now finished.
2) New southbound right-lane on-ramp at Cabrillo Boulevard added
During the Milpas widening of the 101, the southbound 101 left-lane on-ramp
was removed. The unhappy result was that more than a million cars, trucks, and
vans were dumped onto Coast Village Road to enter the 101 at Olive Mill each
year, turning what should be a shopping Mecca into a parking lot at rush hours
and on Friday and Sunday evenings when summer beach traffic heads north,
then south. The 11-2 vote insures that a new southbound on-ramp at Cabrillo
will be included a possibility excluded in the MA 101 widening proposal.
3) Left-lane ramps fully considered, but rejected
The retention of left-lane ramps and a Los Patos on-ramp were rejected by all
13 SBCAG members. Because left-lane ramps would have to be reengineered
and rebuilt, the cost and time of construction for both alternatives, it turns out,
was estimated to be the same.
Mayor Helene Schneider cast her no vote for Supervisor Carbajals motion
in an effort to retain maximum leverage to force Caltrans to fund the replace-
ment of the $20 million Union Pacific Railroad Bridge at Cabrillo. Caltrans
insists this local improvement should be funded by county Measure A funds.
Both Mayor Schneider and Santa Barbara City Manager Jim Armstrong rejected
left-lane ramps. The mayor called the debate over and Armstrong said the city
favored the F-modified right-lane ramp solution.
Supervisor Peter Adam wanted Caltrans as the owner and operator of the
freeway to pick up more of the funding tab so that more Measure A funding
could be shifted to North County cities for local projects.
4) Evaluate traffic circle at Olive Mill and Coast Village Road; replace rail-
road bridge at Cabrillo; improve southbound 101 on-ramp at San Ysidro
It was agreed than an independent, third-party highway engineering firm
will work with Caltrans, the county, and the City of Santa Barbara to compile
a Project Study Report (PSR) for final design enhancements of the entire 101
project prior to approval of a Coastal Commission permit. Concurrently and on
a parallel path, work will proceed with the affected jurisdictions on the Olive
Mill, San Ysidro, and Cabrillo railroad bridge projects regarding design, plan-
ning, and identification of needed funding.

The MAs Position
(The following letter was sent to all
Montecito Association members. We
reprint it here for our readers edification.)
As you know, last week the Santa
Barbara County Association of
Governments (SBCAG) voted 11
to 2 to accept the Caltrans plan for
Highway 101. The motion, made
by First District Supervisor Salud
Carbajal, was to support Caltrans
moving forward with a final envi-
ronmental impact report, to use an
independent third party firm to assist
in development of the final design of
the project, and to pursue three proj-
ects (the Cabrillo Boulevard railroad
underpass, the Olive Mill roundabout,
and improvements at San Ysidro) sep-
arately but concurrently. The purpose
of this letter is to express our reaction
to the vote and to communicate our
intentions moving forward.
While we respect the political pro-
cess, we were nevertheless disap-
pointed that the SBCAG board accept-
ed the Caltrans approach that has,
in our view, several deficiencies. We
worked diligently to protect our com-
munity and advocated strongly for
an alternative plan approved by our
Montecito Association board. In the
end, our effort may well pay off as
several of the elements of the SBCAG
motion reflected our views. However,
we did not have the political support
of our supervisor for a motion that
would have more directly addressed
our concerns.
We will continue to work for a solu-
tion that is the best fit for Montecito
and Santa Barbara County as a whole.
The Montecito Association board will
discuss the issue at a future meeting,
but there are elements to the SBCAG
motion that we might well support,
specifically the use of an indepen-
dent engineering firm in the design
process and the three separate proj-
ects consisting of the Cabrillo railroad
underpass, the Olive Mill roundabout,
and improvements at San Ysidro. We
might also continue to advocate for
certain other design changes that
seemed to have some support among
individual SBCAG board members.
We in Montecito suffer as much from

and we want to fix that congestion
while at the same time minimize the
impact on our local roads.
I want to take this opportu-
nity to thank the members of the
Montecito Association Transportation
Subcommittee for their tireless efforts
over the last couple of years in not
only representing the Montecito
Association, but in stepping up and
getting involved in the engineering
and political process. Some of their
input and observations will no doubt
work its way into the final design of
the project.
I also want to thank our members
for their support, in particular our
members who have contributed finan-
cially toward our plan. The 101 issue
is one of the most significant issues
that our community will face, and
your support will help result in a bet-
ter project for all of us.

Can-Do, Could-Do, Did-Do
I am so pleased to recall a recent
local positive experience.
As a third-generation Californian
who tries to pay attention to local pub-
lic as well as national situations that
affect every citizen, I must praise the
excellent official action taken.
I was told that First District
Supervisor Salud Carbajal did not
just keep his office chair warm; he got
things done! And, that he also has an
excellent can-do staff.
I must applaud his quick and accu-
rate response to solving things in the
public interest quickly.
G. Hebert

(Editors note: Were not sure what you
are referencing, but were guessing it was
Mr. Carbajals compromise solution of
adding independent entities to the 101
mix in order to sway the SBCAG vote
[see Bob Hazards Editorial on page five],
in which case, well second your motion
J.B.)

Andy Never Forgot
I sold a restored 1934 Ford Roadster
to Andy Granatelli about 25 years
ago. I had placed it for sale in the
Santa Barbara News-Press. He called
and asked if he could have it shipped
on a flatbed down from Santa Ynez
to his estate for inspection. I agreed
and followed in my truck. He asked
me to drive it down to the gas station
on Coast Village Road by the freeway
off-ramp (with him as passenger) to
test drive and do a fill-up... because
he couldnt fit behind the steering
wheel! He liked the car, bought it,
and said it would probably never be
driven again, for it would remain in
his collection.
He later gave me a tour of his col-
lection and home. What a kind and
super guy. Years after that, he always
remembered me. He had a memory
like an elephant.
Dave Henry

Granatelli Granite
Thanks for the word on Mr. Gs
passing (He Really Was Larger Than
Life, MJ # 20/1). I met Andy and
Dolly as a window-covering contrac-
tor. I did their drapery work in 2008.
Two short stories:
When I was working in their living
room, Andy came by and said, I came
to speak for Joe. He waited. Do you
know what that means? he asked.
Standing on the ladder, with my arms
above my head, working on the drap-
ery rod, I admitted that I didnt. Andy
then told me about the mood and
spirit of civilian life during WWII,
and how it became common coinage,
whenever someone was speaking at
a meeting and making recommenda-
tions on behalf of the GIs, to say, I
came to speak for Joe.
Clearly, it was a memory that
touched Andy deeply. And I was
taken that he would kindly open that
window for me. Thereafter, for a cou-
ple of years, whenever I came to the
house to work, I would listen for
Andys greeting on the intercom at
the gate, and then I would simply say,
I came to speak for Joe. Hed laugh.
The last time I was there, Dolly
asked me what I was up to. I told her
I had a mold problem in my kitchen,
had torn the cabinets out, and was
going to put in new ones.
What are you doing for a counter-
top? she asked.
Tile. Its cheap, I replied.
Oh no. You cant do that. You have
to do stone. The grout in the tile will
get dirty and unsanitary. Come here.
Dolly took me to her kitchen and
showed me her exquisite granite. I got
her point. But clearly what she had
was way over my budget. She could
read my thoughts. You dont have
to get this big thick stone. They have
affordable options.
I came home that afternoon and
said to my wife, Dolly G. says we
have to get granite, not tile. Now,
my wife, who was once a Yosemite
naturalist, has an affinity with granite,
and always wanted some stone in
the house. So, at Dollys suggestion,
we began to talk about it, and looked
into it. And now we have a granite
countertop.
We think of it as Granatelli Granite.

MONTECITO HOME FOR LEASE
New Seats at the MPC
Village Beat
by Kelly Mahan

VILLAGE BEAT Page 264
A
t its hearing on Wednesday,
January 22, Montecito
Planning Commission (MPC)
elected longtime commissioner Dan
Eidelson as the organizations new
chairman. JAmy Brown was elect-
ed as first vice chair, and Michael
Phillips was elected as second vice
chair.
Eidelson takes the reins from Sue
Burrows, who has sat on the com-
mission since 2007 and served as
chair since 2012. Both Burrows and
Brown were in front of the Board of
Supervisors on Tuesday, January 21,
having their terms on MPC extended
until 2016.
MPC and Montecito Board of
Architectural Review (MBAR) cel-
ebrated their tenth anniversaries
last year. The organizations were
formed a decade after an attempt to
annex Montecito as its own city. At
that time, Montecito land use issues
were heard by the Santa Barbara
County Planning Commission. MPC
and MBAR have helped shape the
village feel of Montecito, ensur-
ing projects and builders adhere
to the Montecito Community Plan.
MPC ensures that Montecito proj-
ects are looked at by a group of
Montecito-minded people, who
understand and implement the
community plan; the Commission
allows for a community forum as
well as an opportunity for vigilance
in keeping Montecito semi-rural.
When you take the time to write
us or give us public comment, it
gives a better sense of the commu-
nity. You are always welcome here,
Burrows said last week.
Chair Eidelson was honored
last year as the grand marshal of
Montecitos Village Fourth Parade.
A former president of the Montecito
Association, Eidelson has lived in
Montecito the past 28 years and was
part of the original group of peo-
ple who helped get MPC established.
He has held several local positions,
including president of the Montecito
Community Foundation, president
of the Sanitary District, and board
member of Montecito Fire Protection
District.
Other commissioners include
Phillips, who has sat on the board
since its inception, and Jack Overall,
who chaired the commission in 2011.
Burrows said MPC would not be
as successful if not for the work of
the Montecito Association. Montecito
Dan Eidelson is elected as chair of the Montecito
Planning Commission

his honoring was postponed until
January. Anne and Kirk Douglas
couldnt be there due to an illness,
but sent their regards, We admire
and congratulate you. Other peers
there to support Forest included
actor Michael B. Jordan and Angela
Bassett, who looked stunning in her
sequined dress. SBIFF executive direc-
tor Roger Durling was at the end of
the red carpet to greet the actors.
Forest has been busy in 2013 and
you may have seen him in Lee Daniels
The Butler with Oprah Winfrey.
Whitaker was also in his first musical,
Black Nativity, with Angela Bassett
and Jennifer Hudson, and he pro-
duced Fruitvale Station. His bio goes
on and on and he is a humanitarian
as well. Just one such project is the
International Institute for Peace, of
which he is co-founder and chair.
After cocktails and mingling, the
ballroom was opened for a sit-down
dinner for over 300 folks, many of
whom have been connected with the
SBIFF for years. Board chairman Jeff
Barbakow spoke, and emeritus pres-
idents Phyllis De Picciotto, Jelinda
DeVorzon, and Arnold Kassoy were
there. Tribute director Dana Morrow
had done his usual good work with
the film, showing clips of Whitakers
body of work. PR gal extraordinaire
Carol Marshall has always been help-
ful. Shell have a big job at the SBIFF
this year with tribute honorees like
Robert Redford and Oprah Winfrey.
Thats a wrap until all the SBIFF hoop-
la begins for the 29th year, January 30
through February 9. See you at the
movies!

ular fan favorite Off The Wall art

Peter and the
Starcatcher
In the same month that humorist
Dave Barry made an appearance at the
Granada for UCSB Arts & Lectures,
his prequel to Peter Pan (co-written
by Ridley Pearson), Peter and the
Starcatcher, played at the Ahmanson
Theatre in Los Angeles. Disney pub-
lished the writers series of books
and Peter and the Starcatcher became a
Tony-winning Broadway play and is
on a national tour.
A gang from Our Gang, a Union
Bank travel group, climbed on a bus
and headed for Los Angeles. Before
the play, we had a delicious lunch at
Kendalls Brasserie, then walked to
the nearby theatre to sit in our second
row center seats. We were all fore-
warned to put on our imagination
hats. Depending on your birthday,
that wasnt hard to do. Some of us
remember radio, when all the stories
resided in our imaginations!
The company of twelve actors
played more than fifty characters
to tell the back-story of our beloved
hero, Peter Pan. You may remember
that Peter Pan was a little boy that
flew and never wanted to grow up,
but the story is over 100 years old.
It was first presented as a play in
1904 by Scottish author J. M. Barrie.
I liked The New York Times review
by Ben Brantley that said, When
the H.M.S. Neverland goes down, its
the most enthralling shipwreck since
James Cameron sent the Titanic to her
watery grave.
Instead of a pit orchestra, there were
two soundmen in towers on either side
of the stage making their sound magic
just like in radio days. I remember as
a child seeing that happen when we
went to a live broadcast of Blondie
and Dagwood in Hollywood.
Another unique aspect of this pro-
duction was the green set made from
lots of junk, including one set that
had been used in The Little Mermaid
on Broadway. Ropes, planks of wood,
and everyday objects were used to
create ships, storms, and starstuff.
Music director and Tony Award
winning foley sound design artist
Andy Grobengieser and his associ-
ate, Jeremy Lowe, spoke to our group
after the play. They showed us how
they made the ship creak with a
violin, chains rattle with a piece of
notched wood, and rain sounds with
a castanet. Andy and Jeremy are both
musicians by trade.
As Wendy says when she first tells
the Lost Boys a story, Once upon a
time, thats how they always start.
And, When its night and Im too
scared to sleep, I see all those little stars
that I cant reach, and I think that in a
hundred years life will be so beauti-
ful that nobodyll ever say sorry again
cuz nobodyll have to. Peter Pan still
lives on in our imaginations today.

manager Maria McCall at (805) 564-

than highways, camping along the
way, unless invited in by new friends.
While starring with Johnny Depp
in The Lone Ranger last year, he told TV
talk show host Jimmy Kimmel: Ive
been thinking about it forever. We
have everything planned. Its a really
eclectic group, including my wife. We
are taking everything on the Vespas.
One section of the trip has us going
nearly two hundred miles through
high desert with no gas stations.
The cross country jaunt, given the
title 4K The Hard Way, The Vespa
Adventure, was expected to take at
least three weeks, but the riders cur-
rently seem ahead of schedule, hav-
ing completed 2,600 miles in just two
weeks, during which one participant,
Dewitt Corrigan, used the opportu-
nity to get engaged to his longtime
girlfriend, Alison Rodman.
A film crew from Vespa, the Italian
company that has been manufactur-
ing the scooter since 1946 the name
means wasp in Italian has been
following the adventurers as they
have roared across the U.S.
They want to make a documentary
of the trip, says Michael.
I think its awesome. Armie and
his brother, Viktor, have been riding
motorbikes since they were young
when we lived in the Cayman Islands
and Armie, despite now being a major
movie star, loves riding his Vespa
around Hollywood. He often gets
photographed on it with fans.
Stay tuned...
Life Handed Him Lemons
New Yorks frigid weather near-
ly put a definite crimp in prepara-
tions by San Ysidro Ranch chef
Matthew Johnson for a dinner party
at the famed James Beard House in
Manhattans Greenwich Village for 70
guests.
Because of the freezing conditions,
including a major blizzard, FedEx
stopped deliveries, so a van had to
be rented at decidedly short notice
and seven coolers of food schlepped
through the snow to the venue, with
the prawns arriving just 30 minutes
before the five-course dinner began.
The weather was quite the oppo-
site of what we normally have in Santa
Barbara, but we were prepared, says
Seamus McManus, manager of the
oh-so tony hostelry, ranked one of the
top resorts in the world.
The dinner, part of a series honor-
ing the famed cookbook author and
teacher who died in 1985, was the
result of an invitation Matthew, 38,
received last year to participate, ask-
ing him to construct a menu featuring
three appetizers along with dinner
and dessert.
The chef, a 2000 graduate from
the School of Culinary Arts & Hotel
Management at Santa Barbara City
College, decided to theme the entire
menu on the Meyer lemons that grow
in abundance at the ranch, with appe-
tizers featuring lemon and tuna confit,
halibut ceviche with lemon and gin-
ger, and duck confit pat with lemon
marmalade.
For dinner, other than two veg-
etarians, guests enjoyed sunchoke
soup with black truffles, arugula and
watercress salad with lemon vinai-
grette, Channel Island halibut with

S
tephen Tobolowsky has had at
least three films play at previous
Santa Barbara International Film
Festivals and generally comes up for
the premieres. This week, hell be in
town again during the film festival,
but hes reading at Granada Books, not
showing up on screen, even though
hell be just a couple hundred yards
away from the big Oprah shindig at
the Arlington on Wednesday.
Thats one of the rare instanc-
es of bad timing for the 62-year-old
character actor, perhaps best known
for his role as annoying insurance
salesman Ned Ryerson opposite Bill
Murray in Groundhog Day. (At least
his timing here is good; his Santa
Barbara gig comes just three days after
Punxsutawney Phils scheduled 2014
appearance.)
His other roles which total more
than 200 between film and TV
include Kramers holistic healer Tor on
the second season of Seinfeld, Sammy
Jankis in the hit reverse-chronolo-
gy thriller Memento, the generously
endowed sex-crazed film producer
Stu Beggs on Californication, and pur-
veyor of his own true-life podcast
with David Chen The Tobolowsky Files.
Its this latter guise that gave rise to
Tobolowskys bookstore booking as
part of Granada Books new monthly
Comedy Nights series, where hell
read selections from The Dangerous
Animals Club and the more recent
My Adventures with God, collections
of stories culled from his life. The
books came from the podcast that was
launched when the actor was laid up
for more than three months just before
he landed a recurring role on Glee.
I broke my neck horseback riding
on the side of a volcano in Iceland
like what could possibly go wrong?
he said over the phone earlier this
week. When I came back home the
doctor told me it was a fatal injury.
Thats a terrible thing to hear, espe-
cially when youre alive. His hyper-
bole rattled around in my brain and I
started thinking what would happen
if I really didnt see my kids again.
So I decided to write down these
stories from my life, told strictly from
my point of view. I guess people like
them.
The podcast and books show the
same sort of dedication to the history
behind the moments that Tobolowsky
exhibits as one of our eras greatest
character actors, a skill he attributes to
using his imagination.
If youre a lead in the movie, almost
everything you do is referenced: your
girlfriend, car, job, the friend who is
usually played by me. My characters
also have all that stuff, but nobody
tells me what it is. Its not in the script
and not in the movie. So you have to
make it up and come up with who
you are and what your life is. The
shorthand I use is to contemplate the
characters greatest hopes and great-
est fears. If you can answer those
questions, you can piece together the
puzzle, whether its a serial killer, a
dirty-minded producer, or an insur-
ance salesman.
Its that latter one, the Groundhog
Day guy, that largely put Tobolowsky
on the map and its still his favorite
role.
I remember all of my roles, even
the ones that arent very memorable,
but that one was great, he said. Ned
stands out so much because before he
shows up, Bills character is the antag-
onist, victimizing everyone, being a
real jerk. But then I come and afflict
him, and it switches everything so he
becomes the sympathetic protagonist
who realizes hes trapped in time.
And its not only Tobolowsky who
remembers the role fondly.
Someone came up to me just today
to tell me they love Ned, he said. Its
almost a daily occurrence. And with
Groundhog Day around the corner,
Ill be getting a few phone calls. It
happens every year.

Dry Thoughts
The state is now entertaining
drought-mitigating ideas. One worth
discussion, and one they suggest,
is the use of recycled sewer water
to recharge groundwater basins or
aquifers. We have an aquifer. By
itself, this approach suggested by the
state sounds like a plausible scheme
to decrease the impacts of failing
water supplies. If it were really done
correctly, this would not be a bad
idea. The problem, however, is that
the underlying understanding and
politics behind this are not mature
enough to honestly and transpar-
ently discuss the long-term detrac-
tors. Most of the detractors accrue to
using current systems and standards
that will fail to achieve necessary
results. This posture thus also fails
to correct for the underlying public
health risks, which will negatively
impact the dependent communities.
The standards are so antiquated that
the water, while it may be legal,
would hardly be safe.
That such a situation of stan-
dards existing and allowing water to
adversely impact health within sev-
eral areas of the state is seen from the
California Supreme Court decisions
in Hartwell Corp. v. Superior Court,
as summarized:
Re: Groundwater Cases held, inter
alia, that numerical standards for lev-
els of contaminants are in fact what
the agencies must use, not qualitative
standards, in determining whether
or not water is contaminated. It also
confirmed that challenges to the ade-
quacy of the standards were barred
by Hartwell and its predecessor cases.
The law in California is now well set-
tled that no attacks on DHS standards
or so-called maximum contaminant
levels are going to be permitted.
Montecito has several needs that
are unique, hence exacerbating the
end impact. We have many proper-
ties with extensive investments in
rare gardens, highly dependent on
water. Failure of irrigation would
see these gardens adversely impact-
ed. There thus may be pressures to
move toward recycled sewer water
for irrigation. Much of that applied
water will ultimately drain back into
the aquifer from which we all get
drinking water. That move must be
made with full knowledge of the
impacts because once on that course,
there may be little chance to reverse
damage and that reversal, when all
is considered, will drive the cost of
water almost beyond reach.
As an example of how hard it is
to control things that impact public
health, lets touch upon antibiotic
resistant bacteria. The Johnson Space
Center encountered the development
of antibiotic resistant bacteria in its
recycled water systems for space. Yet
this is a facility that has a lot more
chutzpah that the local sewer plant
and the Johnson Center staff are high-
ly trained in these areas. There is no
requirement for sewer plant staff to
have any of this training; I checked
with the state on that one. Calling
the Johnson Center and asking to
discuss this and how they were get-
ting around the impediment, I got
a response: stay tuned, we will get
back to you. No discussion forth-
coming as yet.
So, we need to think if it is advis-
able to use our aquifer to bank recy-
cled water or even use aquifer to
collect irrigation tailwater and flow-
through, which may reach the aqui-
fer. Unlike chemicals where dilution
was presumed to be the solution to
pollution, biologicals grow, multiply,
expand, adapt, transfer genes, and
become more virulent.
Once the aquifer is contaminated,
it will probably not be possible to go
back and clean up the aquifer. Just
washing intruded seawater from the
Oxnard Basin aquifers was estimated
to take about four times the volume
of the intruded sea water with a flush
of fresh water. Do we have four times
the water, especially in a drought?
Also, the remaining microbes can
grow back from just a few remaining
after the flushing. Thus it would be
very hard if not impossible to assure
that the basin was cleared.

I
n the 1980s, when Kellam de Forest
first brought a painting by his art-
ist grandfather to Frank Goss of
Sullivan Goss An American Gallery,
Frank admitted he had never heard of
him. Recognizing great art when he
saw it, however, Frank researched this
obscure artist and found, at the time,
only two thin exhibition catalogs from
galleries on the East Coast.
Frank became passionate about
finding more, and, with the help of
Kellam and other members of the
de Forest family, pieced together the
story behind this amazing artist. On
Thursday evening, January 16, Frank
shared that tale at a lecture in the Sala
Gallery of the Santa Barbara Historical
Museum.
It was the perfect venue, for in
the dim, warm glow of the light-
ing, the audience was surrounded
by Lockwood de Forests luminescent
paintings. Piece by piece, as Frank
revealed the essence of de Forests his-
tory, the audience was transported to
the events and people who influenced
de Forest and to a greater understand-
ing of his art.
Born into a prominent family in New
York City in 1850, Lockwood de Forest
was immersed from a young age in
the artistic world. He began his study
of painting at age 18, but after exten-
sive trips to India became entranced
with the intricacies of Indian art, as
well as the artistic methods employed
by the Mystery Castle of carvers.
Kellam de Forest brought examples
of artifacts his grandfather and grand-
mother, Meta Kimble DuPont, collect-
ed in India: an intricate woodcarving
and several delicate silver punch-work
designs. Lockwood had also imported
tiles from abandoned mosques and
brought back furniture and decorative
items. From the late 1870s through the
1890s, he worked with Louis Comfort
Tiffany and other notable figures in
designing furnishings and architec-
tural elements for exotic interiors of
Gilded Age mansions.
Continuing to paint during this time,
he was accepted into the National
Academy of Design in 1898, and when
the mania for Persian interiors abated,
he turned to painting full time and
began to winter in Santa Barbara in
1902. In 1915, he and Meta made Santa

Only preliminary analysis and limited design work has been done on a pos-
sible new traffic circle at Coast Village Road-Olive Mill-North Jameson by the
City of Santa Barbara, which advocates a roundabout at both ends of Coast
Village Road and a traffic light at Middle Road as the way to resolve the grid-
lock on Coast Village Road. There has been no discussion of a possible need for
eminent domain involving seizure of private property to obtain the necessary
right-of-way. The same situation exists for an improved southbound on-ramp at
San Ysidro, where controversial eminent domain appears to be needed to widen
the Caltrans right-of-way.
The southbound 101 on-ramp at Cabrillo could be built without the replace-
ment of the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge. The questions are: Will Union Pacific
cooperate? Who pays for the bridge Caltrans, SBCAG, or a combination of both?
5) Part-time HOV lanes to aid traffic flow
SBCAG Board members, all elected officials, were reminded that part-time
HOV lanes were promised to voters who supported Measure A transportation
funding in 2008. This is not just a Montecito project. Workers commuting to
Montecito, Santa Barbara, and Goleta should be offered a faster commute, as
promised by the 101 in Motion advocates and approved by 79 percent of
Montecito voters.
6) Emergency responders
Both California Highway Patrol Coastal Division Chief R.J. Chappelle and
Assistant Chief Jeff Sgobba found the 101 Community Coalitions accident
reports to be less than compelling as a reason to retain left-lane ramps. Accident
reports for a four-lane highway configuration are inadequate to predict accident
rates and unsafe lane maneuvers for a six-lane, higher-speed freeway. CHP
Chief Sgobba, who has spent 29 years in our location, urged the SBCAG Board
to add the third lanes as soon as possible to enable emergency responders to
improve their response times and serve our communities in the event of natural
disaster. He noted that a gridlocked 101 forces traffic to weave its way through
Montecito via Hot Springs, Coast Village Road, East Valley-192, North Jameson,
and over Ortega Ridge.
7) Montecito Association
At this point, especially after an 11-2 vote of SBCAG, we urge the Montecito
Association, which waged a good fight for what it believed were noble ends, to
now pursue the best and quickest path to widen the 101 within the parameters
set by that vote. MJ

Association Executive Director
Victoria Greene, and directors Tom
Bollay, Monica Brock Peterson, Trish
Davis, Charlene Nagel, and Tom
Schleck attended the MPC meeting
to speak on behalf of their non-prof-
it community association. What we
strive to do is to carry out our mis-
sion, which is the protection of the
semi-rural residential character of the
Montecito community, Greene said.
We engage in assisting residents with
minor neighborhood issues, as well as
engaging regularly and closely moni-
toring the land-use development proj-
ects that float through the county.
The MA, which is led by a board of
17 directors, hosts monthly meetings
and several events each year, includ-
ing the Village Fourth and Montecito
Beautification Day. The Association
acts as an advocacy group, while MPC
is a decision-making body. Eidelson
thanked Greene for her continued
work at the Association. You have

tion, Eidelson said.

Friendship Center
Festival of Hearts
On Saturday, February 8, Friendship
Center will hold its 15th annual
Festival of Hearts event to benefit
the H.E.A.R.T. (Help Elders At Risk
Today) program. The popular event
will be Western-themed this year
(Deep in the Heart of Friendship)
and features a luncheon with local
wines, heart art, and a live auction.
The event will once again be held
at Fess Parkers DoubleTree Resort;
guests are encouraged to wear their
cowboy boots and Western wear.
Music will be provided by strolling
troubadour guitarists, who will ser-
enade guests during lunch and the
silent auction.
The event is being organized by
Executive Director Heidi Holly,
Development Coordinator Justine
Sutton, and heart wran-
gler Sharon Morrow. Renaissance
Fine Consignment owner Joann
Younger has donated her front win-
dow to display the hearts for the
last three years; Cheryl Guthrie helps
design the window and assists with
the event.
As always, at the center of the Hearts
event are whimsical papier-mch
hearts donated by local artists, celeb-
rities, and students from area high
schools. Guests receive a hand-deco-
rated heart as a party favor; other dec-
orated hearts are available by silent
bid. This year, Crazy Heart actor Jeff
Bridges, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and
other local celebrities have designed
a heart. A heart is currently being
designed to honor Montecitos Andy
Granatelli, a Friendship Center sup-
porter who passed away in December.
The hearts that will be on sale are
now hanging on display at Renaissance
Fine Consignment in La Arcada Plaza
on State Street until Friday, February
7. They are for sale there at a buy
it now price of $350 and up for bid
at the Hearts event. Merchants and
residents have donated goods and
services for the event; others have
donated gift certificates for the auc-
tions. Montecitos Caf del Sol, Cos
Bar, and Tecolote are participating, as
well as Santa Barbara Zoo, the Fess
Parker DoubleTree, and various other
vendors. The live auction features a
weekend getaway to San Francisco,
a desert getaway to Palm Springs,
wine-tasting tours in the Santa Ynez
Valley, lunches with elected officials,
staycation packages, hotel vouch-
ers, restaurant certificates, and more.
Friendship Center, located on the
grounds of All Saints-by-the-Sea
Episcopal Church, has been providing
adult day care and respite for caregiv-
ers since 1976. In 2011, the Friendship
Center also opened a new Goleta facil-
ity, located at 820 North Fairview
Avenue. The goal of the non-prof-
it organization is to defer nursing
home care for as long as possible.
Friendship Center members typically
live with their caregivers, usually a
spouse or child. Programming at the
center allows the caregiver to work or
complete chores during the day while
their loved one is being cared for in a
safe environment.
Education and support is also
available for caregivers through the
center. Transportation, meals, nurs-
ing, socialization, and various activ-
ities are offered for members, and
the Adventuresome Aging pro-
gram provides biweekly outings to
local destinations specifically for
older adults in the early stages of
Alzheimers Disease.
This year, tickets cost $100. The
event is from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm.

(c) All existing buildings and structures for which applications for building permits for additions and/or structural alterations are filed or are required to be filed with the County of Santa
Barbara, which are not served by water supplies meeting District standards as adopted from time to time. The term water supply is more specifically defined in the District standards as adopted
from time to time.
(d) All existing buildings for which applications for building permits for additions and/or structural alterations are filed or are required to be filed with the County of Santa Barbara, which
are not located within three (3) miles travel distance or a five (5) minute response time by fire apparatus from a staffed District fire station.

Section 6. Amendments Made in the California Residential Code. The California Residential Code is amended and changed as follows:

(a) Chapter 3, Section R313, Automatic Fire Sprinkler Systems is amended as follows:

1. Section R313.1, Exception, is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
a. Any existing townhouse for which an application for building permits is filed or required to be filed with the County of Santa Barbara for any addition or alteration that meets the
following two requirements shall be required to install automatic fire sprinkler systems throughout the entire townhouse:

i. Consists of a total floor area of 3,500 square feet or more; and

ii. The aggregate structural alteration and/or addition is greater than 1,000 square feet in gross floor area. For purposes of defining aggregate structural alteration
and/or addition all work that has been permitted by the County of Santa Barbara and constructed on or after October 16, 1991, shall be included in this
determination.
b. Application. The provisions of this Section shall be applicable within the Districts jurisdiction. If any part of this Section is in conflict with any other part, the more restrictive
provision shall be controlling.

2. Section R313.2, Exception, is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
a. Any existing one- and two-family dwellings for which an application for building permits is filed or required to be filed with the County of Santa Barbara for any addition or
alteration that meets the following two requirements shall be required to install automatic fire sprinkler systems throughout the entire townhouse:

i. Consists of a total floor area of 3,500 square feet or more; and

ii. The aggregate structural alteration and/or addition is greater than 1,000 square feet in gross floor area. For purposes of defining aggregate structural alteration
and/or addition all work that has been permitted by the County of Santa Barbara and constructed on or after October 16, 1991, shall be included in this
determination.
b. Application. The provisions of this Section shall be applicable within the Districts jurisdiction. If any part of this Section is in conflict with any other part, the more restrictive
provision shall be controlling.

3. Section R313.3.1.1, Exceptions (1) and (4) are deleted.

Section 7. Amendments Made in the California Building Code.
The California Building Code is amended and changed as follows:
(a) Chapter 15, Section 1505, Fire Classification is amended to read:

1. Notwithstanding any other requirement of the Code of the County of Santa Barbara, and except as otherwise provided in this Section, the roof assembly of any new building or the re-roofing
of any existing building, regardless of the type or occupancy, shall be one of the following types of roofing:

(a) Exposed concrete slab roof.
(b) Sheet ferrous or copper roof covering only when applied over and fastened to non-combustible materials.
(c) Slate shingles.
(d) Clay or concrete roof tile.
(e) Any other roofing assembly which will, as determined by a certified testing laboratory, meet or exceed the then current test standards required by the Underwriters Laboratories for a Class A"
roof assembly. A Class A" roof assembly meeting such standards is a roof assembly that is effective against severe fire exposures. Under such severe exposures, roof assemblies of this class
are not readily flammable, afford a fairly high degree of fire protection to the roof deck, do not slip from position and pose no flying-brand hazard.

2. Exceptions. Exceptions from the requirements of Section (1) above are the following:

(a) Structures that are detached from and are not a part of any other structure and which detached structure has less than 500 square feet of gross floor area; and
(b) If, as of the effective date of this Section, less than 10% of the roof area of a then existing structure consists in the aggregate of the roofing materials required in (1) above, and if in addition
less than 25% of the roof of said existing structure, is to be repaired, re-roofed or replaced, the replacement material need not be the requirements of (1) above. However, said replacement
materials must meet the same fire retardant standards as the portion of the roof being replaced. If the replacement materials consist of wood shakes or shingles, the replacement materials must
comply with Class A fire retardant treated wood shake or shingle assemblies as determined by a certified testing laboratory.

Section 8. Appeals.
Whenever the Fire Chief disapproves an application or refuses to issue a permit applied for, or when it is claimed that the provisions of this Ordinance do not apply or that the true intent and meaning of this
Ordinance have been misconstrued or wrongly interpreted, the applicant may appeal from the decision of the Fire Chief to the Board of the District within 30 days from the date of the decision of the Fire Chief. All
decisions of the Board shall be final. The Board shall cause to be kept accurate written minutes and shall deliver or cause to be delivered written findings and decisions on all appeals considered by the Board to the
appellant upon request.

Section 9. New Materials, Processes or Occupancies That May Require Permits.
The Fire Chief and Fire Marshal shall act as a committee to determine and specify, after giving affected persons an opportunity to be heard, any new materials, processes or occupancies for which permits
are required in addition to those now enumerated in this Ordinance. The Fire Marshal shall post such list in a conspicuous place at District headquarters and distribute copies thereof to interested persons.

Section 10. Enforcement and Penalties.
(a) Any person who violates any of the provisions of this Ordinance or fails to comply therewith, or who violates or fails to comply with any order made hereunder, or who builds in violation of any detailed
statement of specifications or plans submitted and approved hereunder, or any certificate or permit issued hereunder, and from which no appeal has been taken, or who fails to comply with such an order as affirmed or
modified by the District Board of Directors or by a court of competent jurisdiction, within the required time, shall severally for each and every such violation and non-compliance, respectively, be guilty of an infraction
punishable by a fine of not more than $250. The imposition of one penalty for any violation shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue; and all such persons shall be required to correct or remedy such
violations or defects within a reasonable time; and when not otherwise specified, each ten days that prohibited conditions are maintained shall constitute a separate offense.
(b) The application of the above penalties shall not be held to prevent the enforced removal of prohibited conditions. If a violation is determined to exist or to be impending, the Fire Chief is authorized to take
such measures as are deemed necessary or expedient to secure compliance. In carrying out such measures, the Fire Chief and his agents may request, and shall receive, the assistance and cooperation of the County
Building Official or other appropriate officials of the County of Santa Barbara.
(c) When the Fire Chief determines that any person has engaged in, is engaged in, or is about to engage in any act(s) or practice(s) which constitute or will constitute a violation of any provision of this
Ordinance or the Code hereby adopted, the District Attorney or District Counsel may make application to the Superior Court of Santa Barbara County for an order restraining or enjoining such act(s) or practice(s), a
permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order or other corrective order may be granted.
(d) In the event that any person, firm or corporation, whether as a principal, agent, employee or other type of representative shall fail to abate or correct a violation of any provision of this Ordinance or the
Code hereby adopted after notice and opportunity to correct or end same, the District Attorney or District Counsel may apply to the Superior Court of the County for an order authorizing the District to undertake actions
necessary to abate the violation and to require the violator to pay for the cost of such undertaking.
(e) Any person, whether as principal, agent, employee or other type of representative who maintains any premises in violation of any provision of this Ordinance or the Code hereby adopted shall be liable for
and obligated to reimburse the District for all costs incurred by the District in obtaining compliance, or which are attributable to or associated with any enforcement action, whether such action is administrative, injunctive
or legal; and for all damages suffered by the District, its agents, officers and employees as a result of such violation or efforts to enforce compliance.
(f) Any violation of any provision of this Ordinance or the Code and any amendment thereto may, in the discretion of the District Attorney for the County of Santa Barbara, be prosecuted as a misdemeanor.

Section 11. Liability.

It is the intent of the Board to establish minimum standards for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare. This Ordinance shall not be construed to establish standards of performance, strength,
or durability other than those specified. Neither this Ordinance nor any services rendered in connection with or pursuant to its terms by Fire District officers, agents or employees, are intended as nor shall be construed
to be the basis for any express or implied warranties or guarantees to any person concerning any structure or portion thereof or appurtenance thereto constructed, repaired, replaced or removed pursuant to this
Ordinance or the Code hereby adopted.

Section 12. Findings.
PUBLIC NOTICES

Barbara their permanent home.
According to Frank Goss, Lockwood
de Forest was a Transcendentalist and
his paintings revealed that vision. De
Forests images are generally land-
scapes containing few if any structures
and no people. Lockwood thought his
role as an artist was to reveal God
to the viewer. He wanted a person
to look into the scene and not think
about the craft, but to let the feeling of
what he was seeing enter.
Daniel Calderon, chief curator of
the Santa Barbara Historical Museum,
created a masterful exhibition with
Luminescent Santa Barbara, which
was made possible through gracious
loans of paintings to supplement the
Museums own collection.
Interim Executive Director Warren
Miller said, This lovely exhibit illu-
minates the talent of the artist, as well
as the beauty of Santa Barbara.
The lecture culminated with a
reception in the romantic courtyard
of the museum under a full moon and
star-filled sky on a night as warm as
summer. As always, the hors doeu-
vres were delectable and Michael
Redmon, director of research, togeth-
er with Alex Brontman, manned the
bar, while guests mingled compan-
ionably.
Among the many generous bene-
factors who supported the exhibi-
tion were Eleanor Van Cott, John
C. Woodward, Marlene and Warren
Miller, Dorothy and Ashleigh
Brilliant, William S. Burtness, Astrid
and Lawrence Hammett, and Sullivan
Goss. Other supporters include Terry
Bartlett and Randall Fox, Mary and
John Blair, George L. Burtness, South
Coast Fine Arts Conservation Center
and Oswald da Ros, whose generous
promised gift of de Forest paintings
adorn the walls. MJ

Montecito Filmmaker Shares the
Ancient Wisdom of Indigenous Leaders
SENIORITY

nity representative for

also host of the Senior
Helpers online video
show. www.santabar

L
ongtime Montecito resi-
dent Kara Rhodes directed
and produced her first film,
BridgeWalkers, which debuts at the
Santa Barbara International Film
Festival. The documentary takes as
its subject a 20,000-year-old prophe-
cy and the wisdom of tribal leaders
from around the world.
Kara met Eskimo-Kalaallit
Shaman and Elder Angaanqaq
Angakkorsauq when he was in
Santa Barbara. She proposed the
idea of going to his ceremony in
Greenland, where tribal leaders
were gathering from around the
world, and filming their message.
Angaanqaq agreed, and in 2010,
the journey began. Kara gathered a
crew, formed her production com-
pany, OneRiver Productions, and
headed to Greenland.
There, she filmed the Kalaallit
Fire and Ice Ceremony. Angaanqaq
lit a fire and melted an ancient
block of ice. By melting the ice
in the heart of man, Angaanqaq
explained, man will have a chance
to change and begin using his
knowledge wisely.
After filming the ceremony, Kara
headed home to Santa Barbara.
But every few months, she would
receive an invitation from another
elder to attend other indigenous
gatherings.
So Kara and her film crew headed
next to Manitoba, Canada. Leaders
from around the world shared their
wisdom, their painful personal and
collective histories, their ancient
prophecies, and their dreams for the
future. The purpose of the meeting
was for the leaders to work toward
a collaborative vision of peace and
healing for humanity and the earth.
Then Kara and her crew were off
to Washington, D.C. A group of
Kalaallit leaders created a circle in
the U.S. Capitol Rotunda and sang
an ancient prayer song. Encircled
by the murals displaying the vio-
lent history of U.S. colonization and
expansion, the song, according to
the OneRiver website, carried the
spirit of healing and reconciliation.
Karas next stop was
Massachusetts. She filmed Chief
Arvol Looking Horse plant a peace
pole. We can create an energy
shift on Mother Earth, he said.
Chief Arvol has walked side by side
with the Dalai Lama, prime min-
isters, delegates, and leaders from
around the world. And yet to most
of us, he is unknown. Thats why
Kara thought it was so important to
film him.
The film crew then traveled to
Lillooet, British Columbia for a
large-scale gathering of indigenous
leaders from many nations, oner-
iverproductions.org reports, before
heading to Manitoba, where natives
and non-natives joined together for
a traditional vision quest.
Kara says that ancient wisdom is
here for all of us. BridgeWalkers is
a bridging of the mind to the heart,
the heart to the land, she states,
and the land to the one human
family.
BridgeWalkers will be shown at the
Santa Barbara Museum of Art on
February 4 at 4 pm. Directly follow-
ing the documentary, there will be a
chance to meet and greet several of
the spiritual leaders featured in the
film at the La Arcada Bistro. The film
will also be shown on February 5 at
8:30 am at the Metro 4. Before the
showing, a Chumash elder will say
a prayer and welcome the audience
and elders that have come from a
distance. Tickets can be purchased
online at www.sbiff.org. MJ

T
he Santa Barbara International
Film Festival (SBIFF) is just a
year shy of turning 30, so the
annual wintertime cinematic extrava-
ganza has long since found its niche.
Make that niches.
For sure, the festivals highest pro-
file comes from the almost embar-
rassingly huge array of Oscar nomi-
nees in attendance, the total of which
varies from year to year but always
runs into at least the high teens when
films, directors, writers, and produc-
ers are counted along with the actors.
Being held just one month before the
Academy Awards and located just
90 mostly ocean-front miles from
Hollywood has certainly helped
SBIFFs profile in this arena.
This year is no exception. If SBIFF
missed on some of the acting award
nominees and who could blame
the bookers for failing to foresee that
Robert Redford and Oprah Winfrey,
great gets in any situation, wouldnt
be nominated theyve also snagged
two surefire winners in Blue Jasmines
Cate Blanchett and Dallas Buyers
Clubs Jared Leto, considered absolute
locks for the Best Actress and Best
Supporting Actor Oscars, respectively.
Meanwhile, the producer, writer, and
screenwriter panelists are rife with
nominees, as are both of the late-add-
ed directorial tributees, including
American Hustles David O. Russell
and The Wolf of Wall Streets Martin
Scorsese; the latter will be joined by
the films Oscar-nominated star and
the one most likely to draw screaming
teens to the Arlington, Leo DiCaprio.
But SBIFF has always been about
much more than glitter and glitz. Even
if its slot just a week or two after
Sundance means the fest will never
attract the most eagerly anticipated
American indies (a fact the program-
mers have accepted by booking only
a handful of stateside world-premiere
features for 2014; that hole is more
than filled by the plethora of side-
bars, including Reel Nature, the Santa
Barbara-centric series of eco-focused
films originally curated by Mike
DeGruy, the Montecito underwater
filmmaker who died in a helicopter
crash two years ago).
DeGruys influence will be seen in
SBIFF 2014s opening-night selection,
Mission Blue, a documentary a first to
kick off the festival about legendary
oceanographer, marine biologist, envi-
ronmentalist, and National Geographic
explorer-in-residence Sylvia Earle,
and her campaign to create a global
network of protected marine sanctu-
aries.
Its a great way to open the festival
because the subject matter is close to

And One Makes Three
My congratulations to Andrew
Firestone and his wife, Ivana, who
have just welcomed baby number
three, Shane, who weighs eight
pounds and four ounces. Shane
joins Brooks, 4, and Anja, 2, in the
growing clan and the grandchildren
of former county supervisor Brooks
Firestone and his wife, Kate.
I figured out since our kids are
outdoing us they might as well
outnumber us too! jokes Andrew,
38, who works for former Kinkos
tycoon, Paul Orfalea, and married
Ivana in 2008.
He was the bachelor in season three
of the ABC series of the same name.
Celluloid Surfing
Montecito-based former world
champion surfer Shaun Tomson is
one of the co-stars of A Life Outside,
which is premiering at the Santa
Barbara International Film Festival.
The feature length documenta-
ry recounts the lives of six New
Jersey surfers who pioneered the
sport at the famed Casino Pier at
Seaside Heights and the destruction
of the iconic landmark by Hurricane
Sandy in 2012, ruining its infamous
wave.
During the 60s and 70s, the pier
became one of the most well known
breaks on the east coast, forcing the
surfers to work hard to protect it and
keep it to the locals, says director
Catherine Brabec. During the surf
boom, there were more east coast
surfers than west coast. No one was
making a living surfing no matter
how famous they were because it
pre-dated sponsorships.
Legendary surfer Greg Mesanko
had what is now Grogs Surf Palace
and held the first pro surf con-
tests, and some of the major players,
including Shaun, competed there.
The film also features five-time
world champion Corky Carroll, Mike
Doyle, 1965 world champion, and
Gerry Lopez, Pipeline surf champion...
Polo-roid Moments
Hotel tycoon Pat Nesbitt has been
honored as a Founding Ambassador
by the Federation of International
Polo in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Pat, who has his own polo field at
Bella Vista, his impeccably manicured
Summerland estate, was recognized
for his 30 years of contribution to the
sport and the furtherance of returning
polo to the Summer Olympic Games
schedule.
He has also served on the FIPs
executive committee, as well as chair-
man of its international marketing
committee and vice-president of the
council of administration.
In 1998, Pat was executive director
of the fifth world polo championship,
played at the Santa Barbara Polo Club,
just a short gallop from his estate,
involving organizing more than 250
polo ponies to accommodate the vis-
iting teams and the various social and
charitable events connected with the
tournament.
In addition to his international polo
duties, he is past president of the U.S.
Polo Association.

Art Attack
The galleries of the Santa Barbara
Art Museum were socially gridlocked
for the opening of the latest exhibi-
tions Alice Aycock Drawings: Some
Stories Are Worth Repeating and
Michelle Stuart: Drawn from Nature.
Aycocks show, the first comprehen-
sive exploration of this vital aspect of
the renowned 67-year-old sculptors
creative process, has been organized
by the Parrish Art Museum in Water
Mill, New York.
While she is best known for her
large-scale installations and outdoor
sculptures, her drawings capture the
full range of her ideas and sources.
Consisting of around 100 works,
the exhibition is presented in two
parts, including the 48 works at
the art museum covering Aycocks
later years, and the Art, Design &
Architecture Museum at UCSB, which
focuses on the beginning of her career.
Stuarts show, made up of 59 works,
is multi-faceted, given the 80-year-old
New York artist is known for large
scale earth works, complex multi
media installations, sculptural objects,
drawings and prints.
Among those checking out the new
shows were John and Jill Bishop,
Richard and Patricia Blake, John and
Martha Gabbert, Anthony Slayter-
Ralph and Priscilla Woolworth, Michael

Miramar Beach Club Polar Bears
Then and Now
N
ew Years Day 2014 marked
the 39th year the brave swim-
mers of the Miramar Beach
& Tennis Club and friends took their
annual dive into the Pacific Ocean at
Miramar Beach in Montecito. Devoted
swimmer Maxine Filippin spear-
headed the event. There were nine
residents who went for the swim:
Rami Aramos, Emilio Casanueva,
Nicholas Barnes, Barbara Flannigan,
Francoise Cambern, Dawn Nelson,
Ada Nelson, Ruth Marshall, and
Maxine. Longtime ocean swimmers
Byron and Judy Ishkanian sponsored
the activity.
Disregarding the closure of the
Miramar Hotel and the lack of owner
support, the polar bears met at their
usual location and swam at noon, per
tradition. The ocean-water tempera-
ture was approximately 60 degrees;
however, due to the prior week of
storms and unusually high tides, a
plethora of rocks made the swim a
challenge. The participants braved it
for 15 minutes, less time than they
would have liked. Maxine says, I
started the New Years swim at East
Beach in the very early 1980s, and then
went to join the Miramar Polar Bears.
All of us regular swimmers wouldnt
feel the same without a New Years
swim, so we went for it this year even
though the Miramar is shut down.
My eightieth birthday is coming up in
the middle of May, but swimming is
a lifelong commitment that knows no
age! Given the circumstances at the
Miramar, the group decided the 2015
New Years Day gathering would take
place at Butterfly Beach instead.
The annual ritual started in 1976,
at the Miramar Beach and Tennis
Club, as an informal gathering of its
members. The concept was: The year
will be great, once you begin it with
an ocean swim. As more members
joined in the annual dip, it became
a club function. Miramar owner Bill
Gawzner managed the property until
his death in 1983 and is known for his
generous support of the Polar Bears
Annual Swim. Following in his posi-
tion, Richard Payne was the manager
from 1987 to 2000. When the club
closed in 2000, Payne was a consultant
to Ian Schrager for several years after-
ward. With the buying and selling of
the club, Payne worked with its own-
ers to support the annual New Years
swim through 2013.
The End of a Tradition
Richard Payne and I met to talk
about the annual swim and to sift
through some of the photographs
he has archived. In my interview,
he explains what happened to the
club-sponsored swim this year:
While we had more than a few who
wanted to swim New Years Day
2014, we actually came to a group
conclusion that it was time to end the
tradition. It always seems better to
end something while still going than
to just dwindle a bit away every year.
The hotel closed thirteen years ago,
and many of the college-aged staff
or younger members who grew up at
the club now live in Montecito with
their own kids. While the Miramar
Beach and Tennis Club had won-
derful memories for so many of us,
nobody wants to live in the past. And
so much of maintaining the tradition
was based on the expectations of a
new Miramar, so getting together
now serves as more of a reminder
of the lack of progress than of the
special times. I dont think anyone
sees a new Miramar as even a distant
possibility at this point though I
would love to be wrong on this. I am
so happy that there are some swim-
mers continuing the tradition. To my
knowledge, none are connected to
the old club, but it was time for the
event to take on a new life.
Reflecting the end of the tradi-
tion, club member Julia Springer
expresses, It was a disappointment
that the swim was cancelled. Many
of us have participated from the
beginning (though the last few
years, only my husband braves the
water). Unfortunately, a confluence
of events has lessened participation
in recent years; the primary one, for
the last several years, is lack of access
to Miramar Beach proper. The alter-
nate location, Eucalyptus Lane, is not
conducive to a gathering and access
to the water can be hazardous. When
you combine that with increasingly
cold water, the advancing age of
participants and no real Miramar
Beach Club to encourage new and
younger participants, it all makes
for a fading tradition. Much credit
goes to Payne for holding the swim
and other events together for as long
as he has since the hotel closed. The
new owners went to great lengths to
support what had been traditional
club events such as the swim, the
Fourth of July, Christmas, and Labor
Day events partly because they
were seeking support for their plans
to build a new Miramar and want-
ed to maintain the goodwill of the
club members, many of whom were

influential. As the buildings have
disappeared, so has support from
the new owners. The reality is that,
by the time the hotel rises from the
ashes (or in this case, the dust and
dirt that is now the Miramar prop-
erty), most of the original club mem-
bers will have gone to the big beach
club in the sky or, at a minimum,
the nearest assisted living facility. In
all likelihood, there will be no club
at the new hotel at least as we all
remember it: a low-key, inexpensive,
non-club where people would meet
at the beach for swimming, conversa-
tion, and picnics, a true family gath-
ering place. While the club may be a
thing of the past, we are all left with
wonderful memories of the Miramar
where we raised our families, created
lasting friendships, and relaxed in a
congenial atmosphere what more
could we ask for?
In 1876, according to Montecito his-
torians, Josiah Doulton of the chi-
naware family bought 20 oceanfront
acres that he named Ocean View.
When hard times fell, his wife took
in boarders. The name for the popu-
lar site was changed to the Spanish
Miramar and later became the hotel
of the same name.

The Board, following due consideration, hereby finds and determines that all the amendments, deletions, and additions to the foregoing Codes are reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, and
topographical conditions existing in the District. The District hereby finds and declares that:

The area within which the District is located regularly experiences strong, hot, dusty, and down canyon winds referred to locally as "Santa Anas" or "Sundowners.

Such wind conditions increase fire danger by significantly contributing to the spread and intensity of fires, and significantly increase the difficulty of effective fire suppression within the District.

If a fire involving a single structure cannot be immediately extinguished, such wind conditions can rapidly spread flames to adjacent structures, significantly endangering lives and/or millions of dollars
property value.

Such winds can spread existing flames from a structure or natural fuel to structures and natural fuel significant distances away, even jumping over fire breaks and freeways, resulting in significant property
damage and/or loss of life.

Much of the jurisdiction of the District is within heavy brush and chaparral.

It is generally known to take about 25 years to build up extremely dangerous combustible brush conditions, and the District contains areas where combustible flora has built up for 50 to 100 years.

The District is in an area prone to extensive drought conditions, significantly increasing the already natural combustibility of the chaparral, brush and ornamental shrubbery in the District.

Such fuels can rapidly transform a small manageable fire into an uncontrollable conflagration, compromising the lives and safety of District personnel and residents.

The reduction of such fuels provides a direct correlation to the safety of the lives and property within the District, and will substantially reduce the risk of injury or death to District personnel.

The District is geographically situated such that extreme solar exposure (south, southwest, and west facing slopes) continually results in critically low live fuel moisture levels, further rendering most brush,
chaparral and ornamental shrubbery highly combustible.

Due to these conditions even non-structural fires can pose a massive threat to the lives and structures located in the District.

The District is located in close proximity to several active earthquake faults.

During and after an earthquake, there is a high potential for fires and other emergencies threatening the lives of District residents, generally requiring the commitment of all available resources.

Geographic and topographic conditions delay response times for fire apparatus (these conditions include remote structures; narrow, winding roads which hamper the access of modern fire suppression
apparatus; and extremely sloping roads which tend to slow fire apparatus response).

Water can be in short supply in the District, and fires in areas with structures with noncombustible roofing typically consume far lesser quantities of water than those not complying with the Ordinance,
allowing greater fire suppression coverage, and preventing unnecessary loss of life and/or property within the District.

U.S. Highway 101 traverses the District, and is a transportation route for hazardous materials and some traffic accidents on Highway 101 require the presence of all available fire apparatus, leaving the
District with fewer resources to combat structural fires elsewhere in the District.

The Union Pacific Railroad line also traverses the District, and a train accident or derailment could immediately deplete the District's resources, limiting the District's ability to furnish fire protection for the
balance of the District.

The Montecito Fire Protection District is in the mutual aid plan and is committed to supply personnel and equipment for serious fires outside the District and which can reduce the personnel and equipment
available for response to possible emergencies within the District.

Further, in many instances because of the extra hazardous conditions, a defensible space protection zone around buildings and structures of only one hundred feet is not sufficient to provide for tenable
wildland firefighting operations around such buildings and structures. These conditions are common upon lands within the District that are located within the Montecito Resource Management Zone as
designated by the County of Santa Barbara. Such areas are generally rural areas with slopes exceeding 40% and are covered with old age class chaparral and dense vegetation, creating conditions that are
dangerous to fire fighters.

The Governing Board expressly finds and declares that the findings contained herein provide the basis for the amendment, deletions, and additions to the Code contained in this Ordinance.

Section 13. Severability.

If any article, section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions
of this Ordinance. The Board hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance and each article, section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more
articles, sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases or words may be unconstitutional or invalid.

Section 14. Effective Date and Publication.

(a) Effective Date. This Ordinance was introduced for first reading on October 28, 2013, and passed on January 21, 2014, and shall take effect 30 days after final passage.

(b) Publication. In accordance with Section 25124 of the Government Code, this Ordinance shall be published once, with the names of the members of the Board voting for and against it in a newspaper of
general circulation in the District within fifteen (15) days after its adoption.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the Governing Board of the MONTECITO FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT on this 21
st
day of January, 2014, by the following vote:
AYES: G. B. Sinser, J. A. Powell, S. Keller, R.J. Jensen

the heart of Santa Barbara residents,
explained Michael Albrecht, one of
the festivals primary programmers.
It embodies the mission to raise
awareness for the issues of protecting
the ocean and the efforts of locals.
Other areas of cinematic concentra-
tion include surf and extreme sports
pictures, which have an obvious local
appeal, as well as a bevy of foreign
films, including the return of entries
from Eastern Europe and includes a
wide variety of U.S. premieres. Thats
the I thats at the center of SBIFF.
Were very excited about the
international scope of the festival,
Albrecht said. Weve been broaden-
ing the number of films and coun-
tries represented. Among the lat-
ter are entries from Romania, the
Czech Republic, Bosnia, Lithuania,
Kazakhstan, Poland, Egypt, Senegal,
South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya,
Cambodia, the Philippines, Singapore,
and South Korea.
The themes in a lot of these mov-
ies is about crossing borders and
boundaries, moving across regions
or areas within yourself, Albrecht
said. There are movies about starting
new lives, reconnecting and realizing
unfinished dreams. Its a very solid
group of films this year.
Also new for 2014 is the Screen
Cuisine sidebar, which pardon the
wordplay grew organically out of the
broad popularity of a few food-centric
movies at last years fest, where a doc-
umentary, Spinning Plates, earned the
Audience Award. We got so many
submissions of films about food that
were really good, so it made sense
to put them together in a sidebar,
Albrecht explained.
There are plenty of other highlights,
far too numerous to illuminate here.
But here are three quick looks at some
of the first weeks must-sees.
June Swoon
Over Nebraska
June Squibb, who will receive
SBIFFs Virtuoso Award alongside
six other actors in the most densely
packed tribute of the fest on Tuesday
at the Arlington, stole critics hearts
and pretty much the whole picture
for her turn as Bruce Derns wife
in Alexander Paynes charming
Nebraska. The 84-year-old actress also
received an Academy Award nom-
ination; if she wins, shed eclipse
Christopher Plummers record as the
most aged actor ever to win in any
category (he was 82 when he scored a
golden boy for 2011s Santa Barbara-
based Beginners).
She talked about the experience and
awards season over the telephone last
week.
Q. How much of June is in the role of
Kate? Were you able to bring parts of your
own personality?
A. Oh yeah. The way I work, [it
comes] from who you are, what you
know, and what has happened in
your life. I have a lot of that character
that people dont know that well. My
friends go on about the dirty mouth
and this and that. But I really feel that
this is me. Its a part of me... Ive been
known to swear like that from time
to time.
I think I read somewhere that shes more
like your mother, but that you didnt real-
ize it until you saw the full movie. Why
was that?
I truly didnt. I didnt use her when
I was working, and I didnt think,
Well, shed do this or that. I watch
people, but I dont use them that way
in my work. But when it was over and
I saw the film, I really recognized her
on the screen. Its more in my genes,
rather than an overt thing that she
would have done.
You really seemed to have superb chem-
istry with Bruce Dern. Had you guys
worked together before? Was it as easy as
it looked?
Id never even met him. I didnt
know him at all. [Director] Alexander
[Payne] brought us in for a week
before we started shooting, and he
drove us around to show us locations,
and we did some reading of the script.
The way we worked, were very much
alike. I think its our training. He

Westmont Downtown The
Christian college congregates for a
comic opera at Center Stage Theater
for a two-day run following shows
on campus last weekend. Haydns La
Canterina (The Songstress) written
in 1766 comes from a composer
better known for his pioneering string
quartets and voluminous symphonies.
The story centers on a young singer,
Gasparina, who deceives her two
suitors, resulting in acrimony and
recriminations but eventual accord
as both decide to accept her just as
she is: selsh and materialistic. The
Westmont Music Drama Workshop
taught by adjunct professor Celeste
Tavera, a Metropolitan Opera
National Council winner features a
cast that includes several singers who
were invited to perform The Pirates
of Penzance for the Kennedy Center

Eddie Tuduri in 1997 to educate
both kids and adults with intellectual
and developmental challenges via
using rhythm as a modality to address
basic life and learning skills, as well
as reading, writing, and arithmetic.
This time through, the rhythm section

and Oud player who has played
behind Jackson Brown, Bonnie Raitt,

Guffaws with Grifn It was a full three
years ago that comedian Kathy Grifn
made her Santa Barbara debut at the Arlington
Theater. But the breadth, energy, and sheer
length of that performance was so staggering,
its easy to think that she just got off stage a few
weeks ago. Grifn, the double-Emmy winning
redheaded bombshell blessed with Don Rickles
knack for insults but with more intelligence and
intuition and a seemingly missing lter spares no one (least of all herself)
in her assaults on Hollywood gossip, celebrity culture, boffo blunders,
romantic entanglements and foibles, and instances of ignorance in general.
And just about nothing is off-limits or too off-color for the spontaneous stand-
up who infamously simulated a sexual act with co-host Anderson Cooper on
a New Years Eve 2012-13 telecast. Grifn suffered the death of her brother
last week, but was already back at it on the talk-show circuit a day later,
cracking wise to help heal the pain. Its likely the barrel full of belly laughs
she evokes will heal some of yours, too. WHEN: 8 pm WHERE: Granada

Love Lines Lust, the latest collection of
poetry from local author Diana Raab,
gets published today, just two weeks before
Valentines Day. Described as a passionate
journey through private emotional moments,
Raabs fourth book of poetry examines the
emotional and physical complexity of love while
transcending the depths of human desire, as
the author employs narrative verse that is both
titillating and seductive. The poems simplicity
and accessibility are meant to resonate with
women and men across all walks of life. Lust
celebrates the sacred everlasting eros that we must admit most interests us,
the giving and taking, the ultimate bonding, the very enlightenment through
glories of the body. She sings your oasis in the midst of me, and bless her
for it, wrote former Santa Barbara Poet Laureate Emeritus Barry Spacks
in a pre-publication review, while Amy Ferris, author of Marrying George
Clooney and Confessions From A Midlife Crisis, raved: Lust will make you
fall head-over-heels in love with words Some read like heartbreaking short
stories. Some read like pieces of your soul. Some read like scented love-letters.
Some like tearful, regretful voice messages. It will make you a believer. The
Brooklyn-born Raab, who worked as director of nursing in a chronic-care
hospital and was a medical journalist for 25 years, will read from and sign
copies of the new volume at three local locations over the next two weeks,
beginning tonight in Santa Ynez and ending the evening before Valentines
Day in Montecito. WHEN: 4:30-7:30 pm tonight; 6 pm February 8; 5 pm

Cirkopolis Montreals celebrated circus troupe Cirque
Eloize returns to town for the rst time in more than
ve years with a new spectacular meant to transport
audiences to a retro-futuristic industrial world. Inspired by
the daring aesthetics of the classic lms Metropolis and
Brazil, Cirkopolis employs gravity-defying circus arts,
dance, and theater in the European style made famous
by Cirque du Soleil as the 12 artists and acrobats tell
the story of workers who rebel against the spirit-crushing
monotony of the factory-city, challenging its boundaries and reinventing
themselves. The piece, accompanied by an original score and inventive
video projections, has a dark theme but plenty of humorous touches. Called
dazzling and jaw-dropping by the New York Times, the show also drew
a rave from Perez Hilton: If Christopher Nolan directed the circus, it would
be Cirkopolis Moody. Sexy a must-see! The 90-minute show, Cirque
Eloizes rst at the much larger Granada after two runs at the Lobero, is
geared toward audiences of all ages. WHEN: 8 pm WHERE: 1214 State

Kiwi Giselle Royal New Zealand Ballet
makes its overdue Santa Barbara debut a little
more than 60 years after the company was
founded, though in fairness, the Kiwi ensemble
hasnt toured the U.S. in more than two decades.
Royal New Zealands take on the classic tale stars prima ballerina Gillian
Murphy, acclaimed principal dancer for American Ballet Theatre, in a rare
appearance as principal guest artist in the title role, and features choreography
by dance greats Ethan Stiefel (formerly of ABT, now RNZs artistic director)
and Johan Kobborg (formerly of Britains Royal Ballet). The quintessential
romantic ballet, Giselle conveys the power of forgiveness and redemption to
vanquish the anguish of betrayal and desperate love as her love for Albrecht in
the end transcends all. RNZs critically acclaimed production features stirring,
human characters; an enchanting, fairytale-like plot; otherworldly spirits; and
gorgeous choreography from pure classical ballet to joyful folk dances.
While the two choreographers have each given noted portrayals of Albrecht
in their performing careers, Qi Huan will play opposite Murphy tonight,
reprising roles from the 2013 feature lm of this production, which screened
at both Vancouver International Film Festival and the Toronto International Film
Festival. The ballet itself, rst staged in 1841, contains many features that
became hallmarks of classical ballet, including technically challenging pas de
deux and solos for the main characters, mime sequences, extended passages
of dancing en pointe, and a corps de ballet dressed in long white tutus. Note:
members of the company will conduct a community master class on Tuesday,
February 4, at 5:30 pm at Gustafson School of Dance. Call 966-6950 for
details. WHEN: 8 pm WHERE: Granada Theatre, 1214 State Street COST:

ENTERTAINMENT (Continued from page 39)
doesnt like to rehearse and Im alright
with that. Alexander said wed just
rehearse in front of the camera. So it
was easy well nothings easy. But it
felt natural.
The scene in the cemetery (where Kate
tells off her dead relatives and former suit-
ors with choice words and indescribable
aplomb) is priceless. You came across as
very real.
I try to do that all the time. Ive
been told by directors in TV that being
real and direct is the reason they hire
me. Ive been taught to just leave the
reality of the human being there. The
script is so real and honest, with the
kinds of words coming out of peoples
mouths you dont normally read in a
film script.
You grew up in a rural place yourself,
right?
In southern Illinois, in a very small
town of about six thousand people.
Thats why the people [in the film] all
seem familiar to me. And its why the
black and white made sense, because
the land out there, [in] those towns,
theres very little color.
Youve received all sorts of attention for
the film and now an Oscar nomination.
Whats it like to be an overnight sensa-
tion after sixty years?
Its great. Ive been working a very
long time, all my life. So its funny
when people talk about that. But so
much of it was on stage. My film roles
have gotten bigger, and Ive done
more TV. But this is certainly the big-
gest role Ive ever had.
You, Judi Dench, and Dern are all
nominated. Is America finally giving due
respect to elders?
Well (laughs), I dont know. Older
people talk about no work, but Ive
worked pretty consistently all my life.
Im not the one to ask. But it is kind
of wonderful. Robert Redford, too.
There have been a lot of great perfor-
mances by older people this year.
Lutah
Feels Right at Home
You may have seen the bumper
stickers asking Lutah who? on cars
around the village in recent days. That
question should be answered with
fervor by the new documentary Lutah
A Passion for Architecture: A Life in
Design that has its world premiere at
11am Friday at the Lobero in the first
full day of SBIFF.
The film also represents the most
Montecito-dominated entry in this
years slate, spurred by the co-found-
ing in fall 2012 of the Lutah Maria
Riggs Society by Gretchen Lieff, who
lives in a George Washington Smith
home in Montecito that was substan-
tially designed by Riggs.
Riggs, who moved to Santa Barbara
exactly 100 years ago, was hired
right out of college to assist Smith,
and spent the next 10 years working
alongside the famous architect and
another 50 years after his death leav-
ing her mark all over Santa Barbara.
Her designs include such area land-
marks as the Lobero Theatre and the
Vedanta Temple, which have very dif-
ferent public uses, as well as El Paseo,
Casa del Herrero, and a bevy of pri-
vate homes.
But because she lived in a male-dom-
inated time, her persona is not nearly
as well known as her buildings.
Lutah aims to change all that.
The more we uncovered about
Lutah [through the society], the more
important it was to get the informa-
tion out there, explained Lieff. She
was unassuming, she didnt promote
herself at all. But her work is amazing.
So we had to do it. The courage and
fortitude of this very special woman is
magnetic. She wore black, she chain-
smoked cigarettes, and she shuffled
along, but she was also responsible for
these lovely buildings that are filled
with light and inspired us all. From
darkness comes light.
What started as a nuts-and-bolts
30-minute film eventually grew twice
as long once word got out, added
Melinda Gandara, the UCSB muse-
um historian who provided much of
the films research. We found an
embarrassment of riches, she said.
Everyone started to call us. They
all just wanted to contribute. People
who lived in Lutahs houses opened
their homes to our cameras. It was
extraordinary to be able to photo-
graph these private homes, a real
thrill to share that. Its a testimony to
Lutahs appeal.
Lutah is directed by Kum-Kum
Bhavnani, a UCSB professor who

Producing the Favorite
for Best Picture
We were only able to hook up with
one of the producers who will par-
ticipate in the nominee-loaded panel
Saturday morning, but 12 Years A
Slave producer Dede Gardner is
one of the frontrunners among the
last group standing when the final
Academy Award is handed out at
the end of the telecast March 2.
Twenty-three out of the 30 experts
on Gold Derbys Oscar-ologists sur-
vey picked the film to win Best
Picture, a near consensus that far
outstrips the typical year. She talked
about the making of the movie and
its importance earlier this week.
Q. Slavery is a challenging topic.
How did 12 Years come to being?
A. We never thought it was a diffi-
cult subject to film. We were piqued
by [director] Steve McQueens ques-
tion of why there was this absence in
the film canon of this kind of movie,
a survey of the institution of slavery,
where we really understand and get
the insides of the day-in and day-out
rhythms, and what people endured.
After Steves wife found Solomon
Northups book it provided the
blueprint for telling that story. To
us, its a universal story that needed
expression.
The film has propelled the book to the
bestseller lists.
Thats been one of the great plea-
sures [following the film]. We set out
to be truthful to this extraordinary
book, insofar as keeping the vision,
and Steves, at the forefront from
beginning to end. That was high on
the list of producers jobs, to hold on
to the original intention of the movie
through the process. It felt like we
did our job.
Some people have said the scene where
Solomon is forced to whip another slave,
Patsey, is too difficult to watch. Your
thoughts?
Its a critical moment in the book
and its the point at which the vio-
lence has accelerated and comes to
a reckoning to which we all must
contend. But it happened. To suggest
that its too hard to see, that kind of
attitude never had any agency to us.
It was much more critical to be truth-
ful to what happened, what went
on at that plantation. Steve does not
pull punches. Its not out of desire
to shock or stun, but a great faith in
humanity that the truth deserves to
be told.
What did you learn, or what changed
for you in the making of the movie?
I went into it feeling that race con-
flict remains a very rigorous pres-
ence in our world today. If anything,
it confirmed for me the value of
restoring history and that you can
give voice and body and moment
to things that happened a long time
ago in a way that matters today. It
confirmed the value of narrative and
history, that its part of our respon-
sibility in art and filmmaking, to do
that if you can.
Youre appearing on both the produc-
ers and womens panels. Whats your
perspective on the prospects of women
in Hollywood?
I always had great mentors, strong
and brave women who never sin-
gled themselves out for their gender.
They just did what they thought was
right with story and narrative. So
Ive not had to deal with that distinc-
tion either; Ive never felt hobbled
or hindered and there was nothing I
couldnt do because I was a woman.
Obviously, the statistics still need
some improvement. But thats not
unique to the film industry. MJ
