Mountain Biker Dies on Cold Spring Trail
A few issues ago (MJ # 18/8), one of our columnists wrote about the death of
Matthew Bruce Sanborn after crashing his mountain bike on Cold Spring Trail
in Montecito. The column concerned itself more with the dangers of mountain
bikers on trails than it did with Mr. Sanborns accident. To many, our cover-
age seemed less than respectful. We did not know him and certainly meant no
disrespect. To his parents, his girlfriend Stacy Pierce, and his friends, he was
a vibrant presence and was much loved in a wide circle. In honor of his life
and to his memory, we are pleased to print the following eulogy, written by
Mary-Frank Sanborn, Matthews mother and given at his memorial service on
February 4:
In Memoriam
M
y beautiful son, Matthew Bruce Sanborn,
left this world on January 31, 2012. He was
forty-two years old. He died doing what he
loved: mountain biking, on a trail in Montecito.
My husband, David, and I walked down to the
beach this morning to be close to Matt to feel
him
I wanted to write something about him to
acknowledge what I, his mother, knew of him.
I had his hat from Jackson Hole shielding my
eyes from the sun. I put my feet in the water and
heard him say, Oh you sissy, its not cold. The
sound of the waves, the sparkling
water, the smell of the beach, are
calming and healing to me right
now.
So, Id like to ask you all to take a
moment and close your eyes.
Picture Matt in your minds eye.
Okay. Open.
I bet he was smiling, right?
I hope you always hold that image
of him in your heart that expression
of happiness, joy, sense of adventure,
humor the willingness to take a
risk, to dare that was Matt.
He embodied the qualities we hold up as the best of being human: heart, cour-
age, compassion; what the Buddhists call loving kindness.
He was also the best boyfriend in the world. I got that straight from Stacy
she told me so herself! He was brave enough to be vulnerable strong enough
to be protective.
I believe if a man loves his mother, he has the capacity to love a woman and
treat her well.
Matt loved me so much! And I him.
When he spoke at my and Davids wedding three years ago, he said I was
his best friend. I never could have believed I would be speaking at a memorial
service for him.
Matt loved his family and was never happier than when we were all together
especially when his brother, Eric, and Kendres children, Andrew, Emily, and
Claira, were around then he could really let loose and play!
He loved Bump and Nan was heartbroken when Bump left this world and
I know that Bump was the first to welcome him home.
Matt loved Stacy. And she loved him. Those two beautiful people had plans
and we are all at a loss not to see them live it out.
And Matt loved the outdoors: skiing, biking, ice hockey, rollerblading and
he had such grace and alignment with himself doing it. He loved deep-sea div-
ing, the beach and the mountains, the Bruins, the Red Sox, the Celtics he loved
people and connection and conversation. He loved life!
His name, Matthew, meant Gift of God and he was. I was so proud to be his
mother. I watched him face his life, the triumphs and the suffering and despite
the dazzling smile, he bore deep suffering. C.G. Jung said that suffering carves
out the soul and Matts soul was very large.
From his birth, May 3, 1969 in Massachusetts, to his final thrilling ride,
January 31, 2012 at Cold Spring Trail in his beloved Santa Barbara, he had a
great one!

Beach Boy Bruce Gets Around
Monte ito
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 four years ago.
M
ontecito based Beach Boy
Bruce Johnston is raring to
go!
Next month the iconic California
rockers, including Brian Wilson,
Mike Love, Al Jardine and David
Marks the original rhythm guitar-
ist who has not appeared with the
group since 1963 launch their much
awaited 50th Anniversary Reunion
Tour in Tucson, Arizona, which will
encompass Europe, South America,
Australia and Japan in 65 dates.
Its going to be quite a tour, says
Bruce, a Grammy Award-winning
songwriter, who celebrates his 70th
birthday in June.
Although not one of the original
members of the band, he joined in 1965
after Glen Campbell who was sub-
stituting on stage for the groups chief
songwriter Brian Wilson decided to
embark on a solo career. His first vocal
recording with the Beach Boys was on
one of their biggest hits, California
Girls.
This is an absolute blast, says
Sexagenerian rocker Bruce Johnston prepares for
world mega-tour

Bruce, who did the Grammys last
month to great acclaim and is about
to finish a new group album, which
will include the song Thats Why
God Made the Radio, a re-record-
ing of another hit, Do it Again,
and Waves of Love, featuring
the voice of the late Carl Wilson,
the lead guitarist who died in 1998.
And the groups Sounds of Summer:
The Very Best of the Beach Boys, featur-
ing 30 tracks and 76 minutes of play-
ing time, has sold more than three
million albums since it was released in
2003, staying on the Billboard charts
for an impressive 104 weeks. During
their career, the rockers have sold over
100 million albums.
The tour, which features a two-hour
concert with no opening acts, ends in
September. It will be the first time the
group will have played together in
more than two decades.
It is rather like living at Birnam
Wood and playing on the golf course
when you havent swung a club for
ages, says Bruce. But once were
well into the tour well be in good
shape.
Its hard to imagine we last played
the Hollywood Bowl in 1966 and now,
at sixty-nine, were still selling it out!
I think our continuing popular-
ity is people harking back to their
high school days when there were no
responsibilities, like mortgages, taxes
and children. Just fun, fun, fun. We are
a traveling Disneyland!
Bruce, who wrote the Barry Manilow
hit I Write the Songs which has
been recorded by more than 200 art-
ists, including the late Frank Sinatra,
says he always feels 23 years old.
But I see Im catching up with Tony
Bennett these days, although he sings
a lot better than me!
He says he thought the tour, which
will also be the first one with Brian
Wilson in 46 years, would never hap-
pen.
I just never thought anyone would
want to do a major reunion tour, he
admits. We dont want to sound like
a greatest hits band. We have a lot of
balance.
Will they ever retire given their con-
tinuing global popularity, with even
talk of a musical using Beach Boys
songs as the driving force of a film in
the works?
God only knows! laughs Bruce,
who also expects to perform at the
Santa Barbara Bowl in May.
How appropriate...

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Why not Diesel?
I
read in all newspapers, magazines,
on-line publications, etc., that
U.S. car manufacturers (most of
which were bailed out of an inevitable
Chapter 11 by you and me) are striving
to bring some sort of economic (gas-
electric-hydrogen) hybrid vehicles to
market. These vehicles will, we are
assured, reduce gas consumption and
therefore costs etc., etc., though they
will cost gazillions and no doubt take
X number of years in R&D, and I have
a funny feeling we are going to help
U.S. car manufacturers again in the cost
of the development of these vehicles.
Ive just returned from a trip to
Scotland and England where I rent-
ed a perfectly comfortable, safe, well
made, 4/5-seat, large-boot capacity,
stylish German car. I averaged 56 mph
(quiet Scottish village roads and 8-lane
Scottish and English highways).
Cruising speeds on the highways
were 70 to 80 mph and, in the towns
and villages, less than snail pace with
many stops and starts.
The engine was smooth and respon-
sive in all ranges and as quiet as any
normal car engine. I drove 1,156
miles and averaged a staggering 66.3
miles per imperial gallon (79.6 miles
per U.S. gallon)!
The type of engine used in my rent-
ed car is the most popular engine
type used by all the top German car
manufacturers and the engine was
developed by Rudolf Diesel in 1893 so
its been around for a while.
Has the U.S. car industry and U.S.
consumer missed out somewhere, or
are the U.S. oil companies involved in
non-development and use of economic
diesel engines in the U.S.?
For the record, I have no involve-
ment in the car or oil industries.
Yours truly,
Ian Thomson
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: Right you are Mr.
Thomson. The last time my wife and I
rented a car in France, we too rented a
smallish Mercedes hatchback (an A280, I
believe) whose engine had plenty of pep,
was quiet, didnt smell, and we got about
50 to 60 miles per gallon of gas. When we
returned to the U.S. we wondered, as you
did, why the heck such a car with such an
engine isnt available here. J.B.)
Great Research;
Great Reading
I was delighted to find Hattie
Beresfords article about Santa
Barbaras early activities, including
the Jockey Club associated with the
Arlington Hotel and later the Santa
Barbara Club (The Way It Was, MJ
# 18/9).
I left a copy of her article at our
Santa Barbara Club and it will now be
made available to all members by ref-
erence to your account in the Montecito
Journal.
You mentioned that, the day after
the final meeting at the Arlington
Jockey Club, the Arlington Gang
began trickling northward to William
Wallaces Rancho Santa Anita for the
rodeo. For photos of that gathering
go to Harrys Plaza Caf in Loreto
Plaza and look at several photos on the
wall in the Rancheros Room.
Marvelous copy. Hattie is one super
researcher. And thanks for the refer-
ence to the story being in response to
my question. I like to be associated to
these historical footnotes. The story
line links us not only to our club [Santa
Barbara Club] but also to the Society of
Los Alamos, Old Spanish Days Fiesta
and finally to Rancheros Visitadores
with its present day myriad rides not
only in Santa Barbara County but
Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Catalina
Island, San Francisco and beyond.
Most fondly,
JJ Hollister
Santa Barbara
They Had Donkey
Races Too
I really enjoyed Hattie Beresfords
Jockey Club article. Ive always been
interested in horsey stuff. A little horse
history for you: apparently, Jockey
Club members didnt know their histo-
ry since they stated that no hot-blood-
ed horses could run in their races. All
riding horses are hot-blooded; every
light breed traces back to the Arabian
horses, the fountainhead of light
breeds (including native and mus-
tangs). Draft horses are cold-blooded,
rarely ever ridden and certainly not
good for racing. Today its popular to
breed hot-blooded Thoroughbreds to
cold-blooded draft horses; it produces
larger horses called Warmbloods, used
for dressage and jumping. They are
really beautiful, and expensive.
My Grandpa King told me about
riding in donkey races, although not
in the time you wrote about but I
think on the same track. Grandpa and
his parents didnt get here until 1894.
In 1898-1900, when Grandpa was 10
to 12 years old, they lived in a house
on a hill across from the cemetery

The best little paper in America
(Covering the best little community anywhere!)
15 22 March 2012 MONTECITO JOURNAL 9 A doctor gave a man six months to live; the man couldnt pay his bill so he gave him another six months Henny Youngman
front gates; my great-grandfather was
a gardener there. Grandpa said after
the horse races they had donkey races.
He had a burro named Jenny and
he usually won the races. The way
to make a donkey go fast, he said,
was to put a hose in its ear and blow.
Not a garden type hose but smaller,
like the ones for water and air at the
gas stations. Grandpa rode Jenny to
Montecito Union School. She lived
long; we have a picture of her with
my mother, her brother and sister on
the donkey, about one, three and five
years old. Mom said their little dog
would jump on Jennys back and bite
her on the rump to make her buck. My
friend Armand Schmitter is 92 now;
he rode his donkey to Cold Spring
School and told me he used the hose
trick to make her move faster.
Keep up the good work!

stories about Montecito in the WWII
days, in an era when the owner of the
golf course would let her run her dogs
for 18 holes, sailing expeditions, all the
prominent people she has known and
lost over the years and many others I
cant even remember. One story really
captured my thoughts and I think its
more than appropriate that I tell you
about it...
I like history and learning about
people and this lady is something else.
She has no children and her husband
passed away, but she is so strong and
her willingness to give to Montecito,
charity, and this country should be
commended. One day, we were sitting
enjoying the sun with her dog, Shani. I
looked up and noticed a pine tree that
stands at least 100 feet tall. I noticed
it, because theres a lot of foliage on
Summit Road, but you dont see many
pine trees around especially one so
tall. I asked her about it and to make a
long story short, it turned out that the
tree was her first tabletop Christmas
tree in their new Montecito home, and
she had planted it some fifty years
ago! How they planted it in the ground
and began their life together fifty years
ago was something else!
Its an amazing story and one Ill
never forget.

Montecito
(Editors note: Its either the equable
climate or theres something in the water,
but Montecito has had more than its share
of people that lived well into their nine-
ties and longer: (Annie Reynolds (103?),
John Whittemore (101?), (David Myrick
(94?) etcetera. And, because they not only
lived so long but spent most of their lives
here, their recollections of what life was
like nearly a hundred years ago is not only
fascinating, but also invaluable. J.B.)
All The Kings Men
Once again, MJ columnist Shelly
Lowenkopf has done Montecitans a
great service; this time by reprising the
attractions of Robert Penn Warrens
1946 masterpiece, All the Kings Men
(Book Talk MJ #18/10). Although
Warren and his novel were awarded
the Pulitzer Prize in 1947, and the
movie (starring Broderick Crawford)
won the Academy Award for Best
Picture in 1949, All the Kings Men
has faded from the awareness of both
readers and movie fans, hence the
value of Shellys reminder about the
book he calls a sleeper.
In the late 1950s, I was reading All the
Kings Men as a junior at Yale studying
American history and English within
what Richard Mineards would lamen-
tably later come to call a tiaras toss from
Robert Penn Warrens campus office. I
loved the novel for all the reasons
Shelly has discussed. Additionally, like
Warrens failed Louisiana doctoral
candidate, Jack Burden, I was then
struggling to make sense out of a trove
of 19th-century historical letters and
diaries vexing me in the universitys
manuscript collection.
Robert Penn Warren, called Red by
his faculty colleagues, was struggling
in a different way: dealing with the
fame of having won a second Pulitzer
in 1958, this time for poetry, the first
time such a repeat had ever happened.
(Twenty years later, he would go on
to win a third Pulitzer Prize, again
for poetry.) Simultaneously, he was
gamely trying to rebut the persistent
public and critical perception that All
the Kings Men was essentially a politi-
cal novel (rather than a work of lit-
erature based on classic, rather than
contemporary American, themes), and
that it was a thinly disguised account
of the life and 1935 assassination of
Louisianas Huey P. Long, the notori-
ous former governor and sitting U.S.
senator whom FDR then feared above
all other American political figures
other than Royal Oak, Michigans
Father Charles E. Coughlin. It did
not help Warrens case that when

from the trailhead, joy endorphins

mountains rocky trail so he could
get home to his love, Stacy, who was

To An Athlete Dying Young
The time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high...
Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose...
Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man...
And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girls.
A.E. Housman (1859-1936)
Now take back the soul of Matthew
Bruce Sanborn whom You have shared
with us. He brought us joy... we loved
him well.
He was not ours.
He was not mine. MJ

Montecito Association Board Meeting
Village Beat
by Kelly Mahan

A
t this months Montecito
Association board meeting,
the board formed a committee
to fnd eligible candidates for
three Montecito boards: Montecito
Planning Commission, Montecito
Board of Architectural Review, and
the Montecito Fire Protection District
Board.
In November, a vote on the general
election ballot will decide whether
the current three-person MFPD Board
will change to five people. At that
time, candidates for the two extra
seats, as well as the seats of two retir-
ing board members, president Roy
Jensen who has been on the board
for 36 years and Dana Newquist,
will be needed. In order to have stag-
gered terms on the board, if the num-
ber of board members increases, the
highest three vote earners during the
election would serve four-year terms,
and the fourth highest vote earner
would serve three years.
As it stands, it is the responsibil-
ity of First District Salud Carbajals
office to nominate candidates. MA
president Dick Nordlund explained
that it would be more appropriate for
the Association to help with this task.
We are in much better touch with the
community then Salud is, Nordlund
said. There are expected to be upcom-
ing vacancies on both the MPC and
MBAR.
David Myrick Bequest
Dana Newquist was in front of the
MA board Tuesday, asking it to form
a committee to discuss where the late
David Myricks belongings will go.
Myrick, a Montecito historian who
died last year, bequeathed a massive
amount of historic belongings to the
Association. Newquist has been in
talks with Casa Dorinda to house the
belongings, and possibly set up a his-
tory archive there. The idea has been
incorporated into Casas long-range
plan.
A memorial for Mr. Myrick will be
placed in front of Community Hall; a
ceremony will take place on April 2 at
4 pm to honor him.
Community Reports
Fire Chief Kevin Wallace reported
that this year is trending as one of the
driest years on record. He said fire
danger remains high. Wallace, who
is retiring on May 31, officially intro-
duced his successor, Battalion Chief
Stephen (Chip) Hickman.
Rob Stuva from California Highway
Patrol reported a quiet month, with just
three minor accidents in Montecito.
Sheriffs Lieutenant Kelly Moore also
reported a reduction in vehicle and
residential burglaries.
During the rest of this week and
into next, there will be nighttime lane
closures on both sides of the freeway
from Garden Street to Olive Mill Road
from 9 pm to 7 am. The third lane
of the freeway through Montecito is
expected to open at the end of next
week, according to SBCAG rep Gregg
Hart. A ribbon cutting to mark the end
of the project will be held on April 2.
Next week, an Environmental
Impact Report on the High Occupancy
Vehicle project is expected to be
released to public. There will be a
public meeting on the subject on April
24 at Montecito Country Club.

Montecito Union Retirements
MUS superintendent Tammy
Murphy reminded the board that six
longtime teachers and administrators
at the school are retiring at the end of
the school year. On May 15 at 6 pm,
the retirees will be honored at the
monthly board meeting.
The retirees include Marilyn
Bachman (25 years at MUS), Lynn
Cummings (23 years), Sue Hillway
(27 years), Pam McLendon (40 years),
Liz Peterson (20 years), Jane Warner
(29 years) and Dave Williams (38
years). The group boasts 202 years in
total at MUS.
Dr. Tricia Price, superintendent at
Cold Spring School, announced April
5th is kindergarten enrollment night
to register children for next year. The
schools spring fundraiser is set for
April 14 at the Coral Casino.
Miramar Update
Caruso Affiliated reps Rick Lemmo
and Matt Middlebrook, as well as
Miramar project manager Evan
Krenzien, after meeting with several
people around town, stopped in at
the board meeting to give thanks for
the boards support of the Miramar
time extension, which was passed last
week.
We are committed to the hotel and
committed to the property, and those
buildings will come down immediate-
ly once the TOT rebate is approved,
Lemmo said. Last week the Board of
Supervisors directed staff to further
study a TOT (Transient Occupancy
Tax) rebate ordinance, which Miramar
owner Rick Caruso says will be the
key to obtaining financing for the proj-
ect. Lemmo stated the buildings on the
property will be demolished immedi-
ately if the TOT rebate is approved.
He said it is likely the demolition
would occur between Thanksgiving
and Christmas of this year.
Kellam de Forest asked the Miramar
reps why they needed to wait for the
TOT rebate before moving forward
with demolition of the buildings.
Middlebrook responded that normal-
ly demolition would take place once a
project is ready to be built. The group
is tying demolition to the ordinance in
order to help ensure the project will
get financed; having the TOT rebate
in place makes the project more attrac-
tive to lenders.
Action Items
The board voted to send a letter
to the Santa Barbara City Planning
Commission regarding the proposed
remodel of the Chevron station on
Coast Village Road. In the letter, it
voiced concern over the proposed

ne of the high points of the
social season has to be the
annual Amethyst Ball given
by the Council on Alcoholism and
Drug Abuse (CADA). This year it was
held at the Biltmores Coral Casino
where the ballroom was magically
(with a lot of hard work) transformed
into the Copacabana.
Does anyone remember when
nightclubs were de rigueur? This event
reminded me of when Don and I
were on our honeymoon in Cuba,
where the Copacabana still exists. We
saw the floorshow and ooh la la.
I didnt see any scantily clad cho-
rines in Montecito, but the decora-
tions were stunning. Each pillar had
been turned into a palm tree (dcor
by John Daly) and there was an exotic
display of color on each table with
mirrored stands filled with hot pink
ostrich feathers, peacock feathers and
fruits done by Anne Kelly, Maureen
Anderson and S.R. Hogue. Guests
were requested to dress in sassy black
tie. I dont know how sassy they were,
but the ladies were glamorously glitzy
and the guys tried with tuxedos and
sassy ties.
Co-chairs were Susan Neuman and
Betsy Turner, with Bob Bryant, Ken
Englert and Dale Marquis heading
up the mens committee. Kudos to you
and all your helpers for a memorable
evening. Unfortunately, the founder of
the event, Carolyn Amory Peck, could
not be there but president and CEO
Penny Jenkins was bustling about
making sure everyone was satisfied.
Some of those attendees were Chris
Mitchum and Doreen Corkin, Bitsy
and Denny Bacon, Wes and Marcia
St. Clair, Nancie Taylor Daley and
Jack Daley and Robert and Christine
Emmons.
After a VIP reception for patrons
and sponsors, the silent auction tent
filled to capacity. There were 150
items to bid on with stay places from
Puget Sound to Nantucket, Hawaii
to Antigua. The surf and turf din-
ner was delicious along with Fred
Branders wines, which he so gener-
ously donates to many charities. After
dinner, Debby Davison emceed the
program. Chair of the Board of CADA

Didi Barrett gave a personal testimo-
nial to the tragedy in her own family
from drug abuse. What better person
to head the board than Didi.
The honored star of the evening
was President and CEO of the Cottage
Health System Ron Werft for his gen-
erous support of CADA. He is a com-
munity treasure who has built and
administered one of the finest hospi-
tals in the country. Leslie Ridley-Tree
called Ron very honest and a man
of integrity, amid the standing ova-
tion. Penny Jenkins reminded us there
are now 600 doctors on the staff and
3,000 employees in the Cottage Health
System. One lady has been working in
the laundry for an incredible 57 years.
With a reported 23 million people
dependant on alcohol and drugs and
2 million in treatment, CADA has
plenty of work to do. Auctioneer Scott
Bowman helped raise much needed
funds during the live auction getting
bids up for items like a Wimbledon
Tennis VIP package and an African
safari. Peter Hilf gave a special gift
of $50,000. The music of Haute Chili
soon had everyone out of their seats
for some Latin dancing.

for February 23, 2013 for the next
Amethyst Ball soire.
Collections
and Keepsakes
Lotusland kicked off its 2012 tour
season with a never before seen by
the public collection of Madame
Ganna Walskas personal possessions.
She was the sometimes-eccentric lady
who created one of the most exquisite
gardens in the United States right here
in Montecito. The exhibit is on display
in her private residence, the Pavilion,
and as curator of living collections
Virginia Hayes said, The Pavilion is
rather small and we have so much to
display.
As a model and teacher of the Magic
Makeover classes, I was in my ele-
ment looking at Gannas fashions and
hats. She lived in a more elegant era,
before jeans were the dress of choice.
Her eveningwear was full of beads,
feathers and fur topped off with long
gloves and parasols. She also col-
lected fabrics, which she would have
made up in her own design like tak-
ing an embroidered antique Chinese
silk shawl and turning it into a long
sleeveless tunic.
Her hats were designed by all the
big names of the day (she died in
1984 at age 97) like Mr. John, Caroline
Reboux of Paris and Madame Suzy.
Gannas niece, Hania Tallmadge, is
caretaker for the clothing and had
special wardrobes constructed in her
garage for their safe-keeping (mildew
and moth proof).
Also to be seen is a 19-piece
engraved sterling silver vanity set
that came from Tiffany & Co. in New
York one of Gannas favorite places
to shop. There is a sampling of her
more than 200 scrapbooks which con-
tain not only press about her public
life (she sang with Caruso and knew
President Franklin D. Roosevelt),
but many clippings from magazines
whose ideas she used for her garden
displays, parties, decorations or ward-
robe pieces she liked.
Executive director Gwen Stauffer
said, Three people on the staff are
primarily responsible for the exhibit:
Virginia Hayes, Dorothy Shaner and
Courtney Tentler. The exhibit will
be included in Lotuslands regular
docent guided tours until April 21.

Whipple operations than any other
surgeon in the world. Dr. Cameron
is with the Johns Hopkins University
School of Medicine in Baltimore,
Maryland. He told me, Im seventy-
five and still operate five days a week,
usually taking about six hours each.
He was here at the behest of Dr.
Ron Latimer, founder of the Visiting
Professor of Surgery Endowment
Fund (VPSEF).
Kurt Ransohoff, MD, CEO and
Medical Director of Sansum Clinic
told us, Dr. Latimer raised $278,000
from donors and trustees with a goal
of a $500,000 endowment to be able
to bring one world renown physician
to Santa Barbara each year to spend
a week mentoring our local doctors.
Dr. Cameron is the first.
The lay talk was so popular that
we had to schedule another session
tomorrow, said Dr. Latimer. He was
on the Sansum staff as a general sur-
geon for 38 years before retiring. He
also thanked the trustees for their sup-
port and Cottage Hospital, where the
meeting was held.
Dr. Cameron told us the history of
William Stewart Halsted, MD, the
father of American surgery. He lived
from 1852 to 1922 and for you foot-
ball fans, he was on the very first
football team as we know it, at Yale.
Halsted was an early champion for
the use of local anesthetics. He intro-
duced the use of rubber gloves and
developed many new and ingenious
operations including the radical mas-
tectomy for breast cancer, thyroid,
biliary tract, hernia, intestinal and
arterial aneurismal. He is also cred-
ited for starting the first formal sur-
gical residency-training program in
the United States. Before that doctors
just watched operations from afar.
Oddly, during Halsteds career he
was addicted to cocaine and later to
morphine.
After learning many fascinating
facts, the audience trooped across the
street to Sansums lobby for a recep-
tion complete with wine and deli-
cious treats from Rincon Catering.
Director of philanthropy Dru Hartley
was the force behind the evening

and polo player, managing the Empire
Polo Club in Indio, just a tiaras toss or
two from Palm Springs, for 13 years.
I have always loved Santa Barbara
and have played here a lot over the
years, says Bob, who is staying on
hotel magnate Pat Nesbitts sprawl-
ing Summerland estate, Bella Vista,
with his wife, Marci, until they can
find a permanent pied-a-terre in our
rarefied enclave.
Bob started playing polo at high
school in Naperville, near Chicago.
I hot walked horses for fifty cents
a chukker. It was like infusing blood
into my veins! It was all I wanted to
do.
In the 70s and 80s, Bob played
arena polo at the Chicago Armory,
supported by his father, who owned
a wholesale business, and also played
for theater producer Michael Butler at
his Oak Brook club, eventually own-
ing his own polo farm.
I also played in Jamaica for a couple
of years and attended the Los Angeles
Equestrian Center in Burbank, says
Bob, who has worked in San Diego for
the past nine years.
The new season, the clubs 101st,
starts on May 13...
Gutsy Gal
No wonder supermodel turned
super-mogul Kathy Ireland is so pop-
ular.
Kathy, who just appeared on the
cover of Forbes magazine as I wrote
here last month and last week
appeared on ABCs The View with
Barbara Walters, was just awarded
the Gutsy Gals Inspire Me Award
at the 5th International Womens
Festival at City College, which was
founded by Montecito entrepreneur,
Patty DeDominic.
In accepting her award, Kathy, who
heads up a $1.5 billion design and
marketing empire selling 45,000 prod-
ucts in 50,000 stores in 50 countries,
asked if anyone needed any money
and started handing out envelopes of
cash to eager recipients, whod lost no
time in putting their hands up.
Now you go and buy a latte or
two, or give it to a non-profit! she
laughed.
After receiving her plaque, which
is given to women who embody the
traits of a Gutsy Gal such as driving
your destiny, ignoring barriers and
setbacks, and forward thinking, Kathy
recounted the humble beginnings of
her empire.
Believe it or not, I started off with
a pair of designer socks, Kathy told
the audience, which included Anne
Towbes, Lois Capps, Judi Weisbart,
Salud Carbajal, mayor Helene
Schneider, Marilyn Gevirtz, Dallas
Clark and Dream Foundation found-
er Thomas Rollerson. Recently we
just sold our one hundred-millionth
pair!
Quite a feat...
Gift of Grandeur
Montecito philanthropist Mercedes
Eichholz has shown her support of
the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in a
major way.
Her newly-formed Robert and
Mercedes Eichholz Foundation
has pledged a hefty $5.5 million
to endow the museums directors
position, currently held by Larry
Feinberg.
The importance of adding stabil-
ity to the museum by funding the
position was key in the decision,
says Mercedes, who has lived here
33 years. I hope this will encourage,
even challenge, others in the com-
munity to step up and underwrite
curatorial positions at the museum or
otherwise contribute to the museums
endowment fund.
This is a major, transformative
gift, says Larry, who was appoint-
ed to his position in December 2007,
after working at the Art Institute of
Chicago. It not only greatly helps
the institution financially, but also
an endowed directors chair elevates
SBMAs stature, particularly in this
case, through the association with
such an eminent and generous person
and family in this community...
I could not be more honored and
touched to have my name and posi-
tion connected with someone for
New polo club manager, Bob Puetz Kathy Ireland was recently awarded the Gutsy Gals

whom I have so much admiration and
affection.

Literary Luncheon
Simon Tolkien, grandson of Lord
of the Rings author, J.R.R. Tolkien,
shares the same creative talents as his
Montecito-based son, Nicholas, 21,
a former Westmont College student,
who is now working on his third film.
Simon, who lives in Hope Ranch,
is a former British bewigged barrister
who dealt with more than 100 cases in
his career, but yearned to be an author.
I loved it, but it was all very stress-
ful and I felt I needed to go in another
direction, he told me at CALMs 26th
annual celebrity authors lunch at Fess
Parkers Doubletree, which attracted
550 guests and raised around $100,000
for the child abuse charity.
I first put pen to paper at the start
of the new millennium, when I turned
forty. It was a serious resolution, but
my first effort was rejected by every-
one. But I persevered and was more
successful with my second tome Final
Witness, a courtroom drama, which
was obviously something I knew
about.
Simon has now published his third
book King of Diamonds.
He is also busy on a fourth project, a
historical novel that features Churchill
and Hitler in the 1940s, which he
intends to publish to capitalize on
the release of director-producer Peter
Jacksons The Hobbit, the two-part pre-
quel to his blockbuster Lord of the
Rings trilogy, in December.
I love history and the detective
thrillers seem to be popular. They are
also a lot less limiting than courtroom
novels.

liophile bash featuring 16 authors,

wash tunnel from the freeway, fear-
ing that when the freeway widening
occurs, the landscaping of the wall
may be affected. The letter also asks
the planning commission to consider
the placement of the driveways on the
site. The plans call for exterior altera-
tions to the existing service station,
including converting the service bays
into a food mart and building a drive-
through car wash behind the existing
building.
The MA board also voted to send
a letter to the Montecito Board of
Architectural Review regarding a third
story addition to a home on Miramar
Beach Drive. The added story blocks
neighboring views and will set pre-
cedence in the beach community, said
Land Use Chair Dave Kent. The letter
states the project is not compatible
with the Montecito Community Plan.
Jrgen Boehr, a neighbor to the home,
thanked the board for their stance. It is a
precious view, Boehr expressed.
The Miramar Beach Drive project
brought up a discussion about notify-
ing neighbors when projects are pro-
posed in their neighborhoods. Sandy
Stahl, an audience member, spoke
about another project on Oak Road,
which she says will change the char-
acter of the neighborhood. The project
includes a 2,840-sq-ft home with a
pool and cabana, on a quarter acre lot.
She questioned how the community
is notified, and asked the Association
to play a role. There is no way the
association can track every project,
and notify all the neighbors about it,
Kent said.
Land Use
Kent reported that Montecito Fire
Protection District is in talks with
Riven Rock residents regarding wid-
ening the road for safety reasons. It is
estimated that 100-200 feet of the road
needs to be widened, in case of an
evacuation. The residents have been
asked to widen portions of the road
themselves; MFPD is working with
them to do so, said Kent.
The next MA board meeting is
scheduled for Tuesday, April 10.
Book Signing
at Tecolote
On Saturday March 17, two local
authors and a photographer will be
at Tecolote in Montecito signing their
respective books. Ramona Ausubel,
author of No One Is Here Except All
of Us (Riverhead Books); MJ colum-
nist Leslie Westbrook of Insiders
Guide to Santa Barbara (5th edition,
Globe Pequot Press) and Brent
Winebrenner, principal photogra-
pher of The Splendor of Cuba (Rizzoli
Press) will spend an afternoon signing
books and exhibiting photography in
Montecitos Upper Village.
This is Ms Ausubels first novel, and
she explains that it is based on the
seeds of her familial stories. There is
some truth in there, but mostly its my
imagination, she told us earlier this
week. The novel, No One Is Here Except
All of Us, takes place in 1939, in a tiny
Jewish village in Romania. The fami-
lies of this village have the war closing
in on them, and while isolated, decide
to start the world over again, Ausubel
says. Weaved in the tale is the true-life
story of Ausubels great grandmother.
Ms Ausubel has lived in Santa
Barbara for about a year and a half,
and has had her work published in
The New Yorker and several other liter-
ary publications. Her background is in
short stories and poetry; she is pleased
to present her first full-length novel.
Also at the signing, longtime
Summerland author Leslie Westbrook
will sign the fifth edition of Insiders
Guide to Santa Barbara, of which she
has updated and revised from pre-
vious editions. Its everything you
want to know about Santa Barbara,
she gushed to us. The small, compact
book boasts 344 pages of informa-
tion about our community, includ-
ing such topics as history, shopping,
restaurants, attractions, accommoda-
tions, wine country information, and

Investment Opportunity to Rest Your Head On
A good hotel is a must when planning a vacation. Its also become a bright
spot in the commercial real estate market you should be aware of. Hotel prop-
erties have been in high demand of late, primarily due to historically low in-
terest rates as well as their unique ability to recover quicker than other real
estate types from a depressed economy.
Radius has enjoyed notable success selling these investment properties. In
fact, our team recently represented both sides in the sale of the high profle
Entrada de Santa Barbara Hotel project listed at $7,950,000. In addition, we
brokered the sale of the luxurious 538-room Fairmont Orchid in Hawaii.
If you need help selling your properties, are looking to buy additional prop-
erties or simply want current information on sales or fnancing, we are pre-
pared to assist you. Please contact one of us today for a free consultation.

Violent Dispute on Lingate Lane
Friday, 9 March, 7:30 pm Deputy Bartuzzi and Senior Deputy Padilla were
dispatched to a residence on Lingate Lane based on reports of a domestic dis-
pute. Dispatch informed deputies that a male was possibly hitting and threat-
ening people. Upon arriving on scene, Bartuzzi contacted one male who had a
bleeding wound on his head; the victim told Bartuzzi that his brother hit him.
At this time, the victims father approached; both individuals reluctantly told
the deputies that the other son had used a pistol to hit his brother on the head.
Deputies then relocated both victims to a gas station on East Valley Road for
safety.
The victims gave their statement of the incident there: A half hour before dep-
uties arrived, one son began making fun of his brothers bi-polar disorder;
the victimized brother said he ignored this and locked himself in his bedroom.
From there, he heard his father shouting; he came out of his room to find his
brother shoving and punching his father. When the brother noticed the victim,
he approached him and cornered him in a bathroom where he struck the victim
on the head with a pistol. The brother also pointed a shotgun at the victim and
threatened to shoot him. The victim moved away from his brother and locked
himself in the his bedroom again; his brother followed and broke through the
locked door. The father begged to let them both go; they drove to the victims
mothers residence.
The father told deputies that he did not know a specific reason why his son
attacked him and his other son; he just said that the two sons did not get along.
Both the victim and his father told deputies that they smelled alcohol on the
brothers breath. The victim was treated for his head wound; he received seven
staples on the laceration. After attempting to hide and flee the scene, deputies
located the suspected brother with assistance from a K9 unit; he was arrested
and transported to Santa Barbara County Jail. A report was taken. MJ

Gil Rosas Back in Town
State Street Spin
by Erin Graffy de Garcia
P
ianist-entertainer Gil Rosas, for
years a popular fxture at the
Olive Mill Bistro, has moved
back to Santa Barbara, which is music
to many peoples ears. His recent
return engagement at the Rockwood
Womens Club brought out more than
130 people to celebrate and welcome
him back to town.
A Santa Barbara native, Rosas began
performing professionally as a teen-
ager and many locals remember Gil
playing organ at the old Rollercade
when he was just 16. A year later, he
became the first Music Director at
KEYT shortly after they went on the
air, and played live in studio.
Gil first learned to play the instru-
ment by ear he became interested in
piano after watching his cousin play.
He began taking lessons with Frank
Engelmann, then studied with Lloyd
Browning at UCSB, celebrating his
21st birthday as guest pianist with the
El Paseo Orchestra.
Gil also studied with the legend-
ary Reginald Stewart at the Music
Academy of the West and per-
formed as a guest soloist with the
SBCC Orchestra and Santa Barbara
Symphony. Even his military service
involved music and he performed
with the United States Continental
Army Band.
For more than a half century, Gil
has been tapped to perform for Santa
Barbaras special events: dinner
shows, fashion shows, cocktail parties,
concerts, and for years he played for
Jose Manero and his Spanish dancers
at Fiesta.
But Gils real forte was as piano bar
entertainer in both Santa Barbara and
Ventura counties. Gil could be found
at all of Santa Barbaras elegant eve-
ning sites: from Somerset Restaurant,
El Encanto Hotel, the old Caf del Sol
in the upper village, Valley House
in Goleta, The Fiesta Bowl, to the El
Paseo.
Probably his most popular spot
locally was the Olive Mill Bistro. Gil
Rosas reigned over the crowd there as
king of the keyboards, entertaining the
theatre crowd which gathered in after
the shows at the Lobero or even Youth
Theatre. The cast members would
croon Broadway tunes with Gil. Here
you might have heard Gil accompany-
ing Eduardo Villa before he became
principal artist at the MET, or Howard
McGillan before he became Phantom
on Broadway.
When Gil moved to Ventura in 1980,
he was immediately put in perfor-
mance at the Port Royal Restaurant
and the Pierpont Inn. He was always
in demand.
With a repertoire of some 4000
songs in his head Gil excels at an
improvisational and interpretive style
all his own. In a 1999 interview for
the Los Angeles Times, Gil explained,
Ive always enjoyed playing solo.
That way theres more spontaneity
between myself and my audience. If
I ask people where theyre from, that
might suggest a song. Everything I
play is in my head. Sometimes, Ill do
a medley of songs that lasts 35 to 40
minutes, then tie it all together, maybe
songs about trains or Irish songs or
songs about states. This way, I get a
chance to be in tune with the audience,
and I never play the same thing the
same way twice.
Music is my whole occupation
this is how I make my living, even
though you never know whats going
to happen from night to night. Its
very satisfying to play for people and
have them feel good and then go
home happy.
SBYC Opens First
Opening Day
Opening Day is that time of year
for East Coast sailors when the snow
has finally stopped, the ground has
thawed out, the weather has turned
temperate, their boats can be pulled
from dry dock, and they are ready to
set sail. It is an official event, in which
other yacht club officials and local
dignitaries join in the celebration of
the first official day of the yachting
season.
In California, there is no real down
time, but we still open the spring sea-
son in kind. Santa Barbara is usually
the very first Yacht Club in the state
to host an Opening Day, attracting
several dozen yachting officials and
commodores from around the state
and country. This year, one commo-
dore came from as far away as Grosse

I will be talking on the history of
the early Jewish community in Santa
Barbara on March 20. Very interest-
ing stuff, as the first Jewish residents
in Santa Barbara were immigrants
from France and they arrived in
Santa Barbara in the nineteenth cen-
tury- around 1875.
The talk will be held at the Jewish
Family Service of Greater Santa
Barbara at 524 Chapala Street.
This is a community seniors lun-
cheon sponsored by Jewish Federation
with about 60 seniors attending week-
ly... so anyone whod like to just come
and hear the talk (and doesnt need
to eat) should plan to arrive around
12:30, which is when they stop serving
lunch. For info call Harriet at 957-1116

Long was shot in the rotunda of the
Louisiana State Capitol, that Warren
was also in Baton Rouge (teaching at
LSU), and that, although the title of
his novel was taken from the Humpty-
Dumpty nursery rhyme, Longs politi-
cal nickname in Louisiana had been
The King Fish.
As I thought about his novel and
observed Robert Penn Warren ambling
around New Haven, it added to the
mystery that one of my classmate-
friends from New Orleans shared a
surname with Dr. Carl A. Weiss, Sr., the
physician who died in a remarkable
hail of 62 bullets after Huey Longs
vengeful phalanx of bodyguards failed
to protect the political figure whom
Robert Penn Warrens novel seemed
to dub The Boss. Virtually all other
assassins of major American political
figures have been taken alive, but not
in this Louisiana case.
Put me down as seconding Shelly
Lowenkopfs enthusiasm for All the
Kings Men. I eagerly await the title
next on his list of greats.

Its A Miramar
Giveaway
I would suggest that all of you read a
letter in a recent News-Press written by
Mr. Jim Patterson concerning the Bed
Tax giveaway to Caruso.
He correctly states that the 10% Bed
Tax rebate the county proposes to give
to Carusos Miramar project, will for
the most part come from the Bed Tax
revenues that would have been gen-
erated by other area hotels. I suggest
that the Biltmore and Bacara would
be among the losers, along with some
other hotels located in both the city
and county of Santa Barbara.
Your plan subsidizes Caruso by rob-
bing Peter to pay Paul with millions
in bed taxes that would have been col-
lected by existing hotels, while steal-
ing income from these existing hotels
in the bargain, were the Miramar not
in existence.
As I also said in my recent piece in the
News-Press, the 10% Bed Tax charged
on the Miramar Hotels bills for guests
will not only be a hidden 10% extra
profit for the Miramar in the guise of
a tax, but it will allow the Miramar to
lower its prices 10% for ten years with-
out really lowering its normal return
rate on rooms.
Were I a local hotel owner, such as Ty
Warner, and this tax giveaway came
into being, I would sue the county for
not only using tax funds to subsidize a
competitor, but for using tax funds to
facilitate a competing hotels ability to
steal my guests. I would use the same
reasoning if I were the Santa Barbara
City Council as it pertains to hotels in
the city limits.
Let the games begin!
Warmest regards,
Ernest Salomon
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: The Supervisors, as we
understand it, are offering tax breaks to all
new tourist-serving construction projects
and are not singling out the Miramar for
a special cut-out. In the interests of fair-
ness, however, wed be in favor of a Bed
Tax Holiday for all local hotels and motels
until meaningful construction is complete.

s the African proverb says, It
takes a village to raise a child.
Carole Harder, founder
and executive director of nonproft
organization Global Leadership
Connection (GLC) has made it her lifes
passion to round up the villages of
young high school leaders and foster
their innate sense of leadership. GLC
joins community leaders, local high
schools, colleges and universities to
build leadership seminars for the
high school participants to attend.
From this, a GLC male and female

GLC Youth Leaders of the Year
Lilly resides in Montecito with her husband, Read, daughter Teddy,
and furry, four-legged companion, Moxie
by Lilly Tam Cronin
Youth Leader of the Year is selected.
They and a dozen other students
will receive a monetary scholarship
of varying increments. The top four
to six students have been given an
all expense paid trip to Washington,
D.C. to attend a Global Leadership
Experience at our nations capital.
Ms Harders passion for helping the
youth started over thirty years ago.
She has built leadership committees
across the country. The GLC in Los
Angeles is partnered with UCLA, San
Diego is partnered with USD, and
GLC in Santa Barbara is partnered
with SBCC, UCSB and Westmont.
Ms Harder believes that young
people are our greatest natural
resource and the positive relation-
ships they make will enhance lives.
As Judy Crowell, a volunteer for
GLC, would say, It restores the faith
in our youth and hope for our future
leaders. Kelly Shara, a GLC schol-
arship recipient in 2011, has already
returned as a volunteer this year and
credits the GLC Washington, D.C. trip
for immersing her in that world and
continuing her aspiration to enter the
field of politics after getting a degree
in law.
Last years GLC man of the year,
Kai Gamble, a student at Laguna
Blanca, recalls his experience of the
trip to Washington, D.C. with the GLC
group as an eye opening experience
because we, the young leaders, got to
see where and how our current lead-
ers make the decisions that affect not
only this country, but the world. Kai
has been accepted to attend the U.S.
Naval Academy with the class of 2016
and he hopes to pursue a career in the
military.

This years GLC man of the year,

Forbes Bainou, speaks of the program
as an incredible opportunity to meet
fascinating individual volunteers, as
well as fellow high school students
who have been recognized by their
respective schools staff as leaders.
Forbes credits GLC in helping him
to focus on leadership development
in order to confront the many chal-
lenges we must face in the future.
When asked where he sees himself
in twenty years, he replied, I aspire
to be a GLC volunteer, so I myself
can continue to build and support a
program that is not only developing
strong leaders, but is also support-
ing motivated students to succeed
and challenge themselves. Whatever
occupation I hold in twenty years,
which may be related to law or public
service, I will be a positive role model
for students.
GLC participants are also think-
ing globally. Hunter Totemeier (GLC
scholarship recipient), when asked
if he could change anything that is
happening in the world right now,
responded, My first priority would
be those in Southeast Asia that are
trapped in human trafficking. The
problem is not commonly known, but
the gravity of the situation is greater
than anyone imagined. The past year
as a youth group, we have raised over
fifteen thousand dollars to donate to
this cause.
As an educator and parent, I was
told a good judge of our educating-
parenting skills is how your children
act when they are away from you.
Bravo to these parents! A brief chat
with any of these participants will
show his or her charisma and sincerity
to pay it forward. Our community,
paired with organizations such as the
Global Leadership Connection, rein-
forces what these young leaders have
learned from home and test their skills
out in the world. When Ms Harder
is lightheartedly asked by parents,
Why do they listen to you and not
me? Ms Harder always responds,
Because they had it on their tape
recorder from you.

Raymond Kurzweil:
Positively Positive
R
ay Kurzweils lecture to his
UCSB audience on Tuesday,
March 6 was the greeting
card we have been waiting to open
since 2008s economic landslide. His
talk was presented by UCSB Arts
& Lectures as part of a yearlong
Innovation Matters series.
Intellect matched with a calm confi-
dent smile, Kurzweil outlined the pro-
gresses in these areas that he has been
predicting and tracking for over 30
years. With a dual degree in Computer
Science and Creative Writing from
MIT (Massachusetts Institute of
Technology), he incorporates left
and right brain knowledge into his
countless inventions and research. For
example, his predictions in 1988
the emergence of the World Wide
Web, the taking of the world chess
championship by a computer and the
dominance of intelligent weapons in
warfare all proved prescient.
In February 2009, Kurzweil created
his Singularity University in collabo-
ration with Google and the NASA
Ames Research Center. The students
work in teams and their mission is
to assemble, educate and inspire a
cadre of leaders who strive to under-
stand and facilitate the development
of exponentially advancing technolo-
gies and apply, focus, and guide these
tools to address humanitys grand
challenges. His basic principle is that
the best way to learn is through proj-
ects, and that even if they do not work
out, the results are still useful.
Current advancements are self-
DNA stem cells to cure diabetes, RNA
interference to turn off fat cells to cure
obesity, increasing the oxygen output
of red blood cells via nanotechnology,
Intels 3-D computing, 3-D printers
that make tools and buildings, solar
energy harnessing, and increased life
expectancy. Kurzweil concluded his
talk saying, Increasing populations
and life expectancy coupled with
excellent health into advanced years
is only a threat to ourselves and the
planet if we restrict it to nineteenth-
century technology. We are awash of
solar energy, food sources and places
to live and thrive for centuries, so if
you can hang in there you may see the
amazing century ahead.
Attendees to the sold-out Campbell
Hall included his sister Enid Kurzweil
Sterling, a Santa Barbara resident and
CPA; UCSB Professor of Psychology
and the Director for the SAGE Center
for the Study of Mind Michael
Gazzaniga and his wife, Charlotte;
Barry Spacks, UCSB Department of
English Creative Writing Professor
and Poet Laureate; and David Collert,
one of twelve musicians in the U.S.
who worked directly with Kurzweil
distributing and troubleshooting the
Kurzweil 250, the first computer-
based instrument that could realisti-
cally recreate the musical response of
the grand piano and other orchestral
instruments.
David met and worked for Ray from
1982 to 1984. I was one of twelve
musicians in the U.S. hired and trained
in sales and educated in service and
programming of his K250 synthesizer
at his Kurzweil Music Systems head-
quarters in Waltham, Massachusetts,
David said, adding, We were trained
by Rays select group of engineers,
who included Robert Moog, who
trained me. I was assigned to Southern
California. One of the first movies
to use the K250s was Witness with
Harrison Ford, orchestrated and con-
ducted by Dell Hake, whom I sold a
K250 to and worked with on set. The
K250 became standard for touring.
Just having the piano patch was worth
it to buy, as it was extraordinarily cost
effective in replacing touring grand
pianos that needed to be shipped and
tuned multiple times.
That single musical product he
invented opened doors to my career
as a musician, connecting me in the
film and music industry These are
a few of the many powerful things
that Ray never even knew about his
synthesizer, David concludes, and
the impact his invention had.

Ms Yang selected the work of R.M.
Schindler (1887-1953) for the exhibit,
displaying the sketches for his Kings
Road House in West Hollywood. Ms
Yang smiled as she softly stated, The
students, faculty and the museum
heads worked very hard to make this
exhibit happen. I love the works very
much, as do some of the area archi-
tects who have visited the works.
The core of the exhibit centers on
the story of the ranch house, Southern
Californias iconic, twentieth-cen-
tury architecture that promoted a
new image of casual, western liv-
ing. Jocelyn Gibbs, curator of the
Architecture and Design Collection
explained, One cant talk or write
about Southern California architecture
without the richness of the California
ranch house, and Cliff May, a sixth-
generation Californian, was its pri-
mary promoter. Jocelyn points out
that the decision for choosing Cliff
May for the reopening exhibit was
made in 2007 by the former curator,
Kurt Helfrich. Jocelyn added, Cliff
May and the ranch house was chosen
at that time to be part of the Gettys
Pacific Standard Time initiative, fund-
ed in 2008 or 2009. Bruce and I knew,
however, that we wanted the exhibit
to also showcase the work of twenty
other architects whose drawings and
papers are in our collection.
Together, their mission is that the
museum be better known and to
encourage use of the collection to
create dialogues with contemporary
artists and architects, historians and
scholars, and the public.
The gala itself was an exhibit, with
1950s cars parked along the museum
entranceway, 1950s deejay music in
the cocktail lounge and live jazz on
the open patio, performed by the Fire
Department Quartet: Kevin Harvey
on guitar, Joe Farey playing tenor sax,
Thomas Semow on stand-up bass and
Evan Monroe on the drums. Dancing
and wine tasting fueled the festivities.
Gala sponsors were Kick On Ranch
and Vineyard and Lieff Wines.
The exhibit is up through June 17.

A
bout 300 Westmont students
are spending spring break
(March 12-16) working with
the underserved in Ensenada, Mexico,
Los Angeles and San Francisco. More
than 200 students and dozens of
community volunteers are in Ensenada
for the 35th year of the student-
organized service trip, Potters Clay.
In Mexico, teams are building four
homes and a church, hosting medi-
cal, dental and optical clinics at vari-
ous locations, operating vacation Bible
school programs at 16 churches and
providing sports clinics. Potters Clay
has launched several new efforts,
including a surf ministry to help con-
nect with Ensenadas youngsters,
a repair team to remodel previous
Potters Clay construction sites and a
creative dance team.
Westmont students seek ways to
fulfill their Christian calling, says
senior Josh Koh, Potters Clay co-
director. This long-term ministry
provides incredible opportunities for
them to model their faith and experi-
ence life outside the U.S.
For the fourth year, about 50
Westmont students are staying in
Santa Barbara to work on various
service projects in the community and
learning about different existing orga-
nizations. Three service teams will
work with children and families in
the Carrillo and Village Apartments,
Cleveland Elementary and the home-
less in Santa Barbara. We simply
want to spread love and joy to all
those around us, says Ariana Bilek
with Spring Break in the City Santa
Barbara. We seek to build relation-
ships within our community, breaking
down the barrier between community
members and Westmont College stu-
dents and building friendships and
bridges of support.
More than a dozen students are in
San Francisco, working with a drug
and alcohol rehabilitation program,
serving the homeless and volunteer-
ing at the youth ministry of City
Crossroads Church. The SBIC San
Francisco group will also work at Old
Skool Caf, which assists at-risk youth
and was started by alumna Teresa
For 35 years,

dents have served

I hope this provides an outlet for stu-
dents to experience the issues within
a large community and equip them to
carry on the work outside of SBIC.
Five students are serving with SBIC
Los Angeles, working with Jonah
Project, World Impact, Union Rescue
Mission and Homeboy Industries. We
hope to be faithful learners, embark-
ing on a week filled with diverse
experiences and serving God through
it all, says Nikki Ramage.
Cloudy Skies Threaten
Views of Red Planet
Weather permitting, Westmonts
powerful Keck Telescope will be
available to Central Coast stargaz-
ers Friday, March 16, beginning at
about 8 pm and lasting several hours.
The observatory opens its doors to
the public every third Friday of the
month in conjunction with the Santa
Barbara Astronomical Unit, whose
members bring their own telescopes
to Westmont for the public to gaze
through. In case of inclement weath-
er, please call the Telescope Viewing
Hotline at (805) 565-6272 and check
the Westmont website to see if the
viewing has been cancelled.
Westmont students and faculty use
the 24-inch reflector telescope to con-
duct astronomical research. The Keck
Telescope is housed in the observatory
between Russell Carr Field and the
track and field/soccer complex. Free
parking is available near the baseball
field.
Westmont physics instructor
Thomas Whittemore says we dont
need a telescope to see a spectacular
near-conjunction of Venus and Jupiter
in the west. These two planets have
been closing in on one another for the
last month or so, he says. On March
13 they were about three degrees
apart. Now Venus, the brighter of the
two, is moving up and away from
Jupiter. They set a little after 10:30
this evening, but are still wonder-
ful objects to see glowing above the
northwestern horizon around ten.
Whittemore, who earned a masters
degree and doctorate in physics from
the University of Arizona, says the
Great Orion Nebula, M42 and sev-
eral open clusters, M35 in Gemini (the
Twins), M37, M38 and M36, in Auriga
(the Charioteer), will also be available
for viewing.
Mars, having recently gone through
opposition, opposite the Earth with
respect to the sun, will still be low in
the sky, but I am hoping to get a peek
at Mars toward the end of the public
viewing this evening, he says. Only
under the best viewing conditions will
we be able to see any detail on the
Red Planet. If we have the benefit of
clear skies, the Northern Pole of Mars
should be in view. MJ

Winebrenner says one of his favor-
ite parts of the book are the photos
taken at Hemingways home after a
long restoration. We were the first
group to be able to get in there and
shoot pictures. It was an honor and a
privilege, said Winebrenner, who is a
former teacher from Brooks Institute.
Giovannis
Gets a Facelift
After 25 years, Giovannis on
Coast Village Road has remodeled
and revamped the popular pizzeria.
Owner Alex Noormand tells us he
has negotiated a longer lease with the
property owner, which prompted the
recent remodel.
Its a long lease, Noormand said,
although he did not wish to say how
long. He tells us the first lease in the
space was for twenty years, and the
last five years have been month to
month, so he says he is relieved to
have secured another long lease.
March marks the 25th year in busi-
ness for the pizzeria that opened in
1987. Its the same old great food,
old great service, old great friendly
staff, and same old, young owner,
Noormand joked. But its an all new
look.
Upgrades to the space include new
tables and chairs, fresh paint, new
flooring, a new bar with stools facing
Coast Village Road, patio seating in
the back, and three large art installa-
tions by artist Michael Matheson. The
three massive installations are made
of treated plywood featuring scenes
of Italy, vintage arcade game logos,
and old newspaper clippings featur-
ing Giovannis. A new flat screen TV
has also been installed. Arcade and
video games as well as candy and toy
dispensers remain.
Giovannis boasts house-made
everything, says Noormand. The menu
features pizza, pastas, sandwiches
and salads, using fresh ingredients
and homemade dressings and sauces.
Giovannis remains family-oper-
ated, with locations in Carpinteria
and Ventura. An anniversary party to
unveil the remodel and celebrate 25
years in business is planned for later
this month.
The pizzeria is located at 1187 Coast
Village Road. Call 969-1277 or visit

pet of Laguna Blancas Lower School.
Lucky popped out of an emerald green
egg on St. Patricks Day last year, and
Lower School students watched him
grow from a six-inch emu chick into
a healthy, young emu that ran really
fast. Lucky now lives at Ostrichland
in Buellton, and in the past month he
has had visits from both Lower School
Science Instructor Clara Svedlund
and the first grade class.
During a recent trip Ms Svedlund
purchased five more emu eggs, and
they have been incubating at the
schools science lab. Two eggs hatched
earlier this week, according to Laguna
Blanca rep Tara Broucqsault.
Laguna Blancas computer depart-
ment has set up a live camera on the
eggs, viewable by the public. The live
cam shows the remaining three emu
eggs, which are set to hatch within
the next two weeks. According to
Svedlund, the eggs are wiggling in
response to a whistle. After the eggs
hatch, the camera will be moved to
video the chicks.

Wildlife Care network
Wildlife Care Networks drop off
center in the Fairview Shopping
Center in Goleta will close its doors on
March 31. The new permanent loca-
tion will be open at that time, located
at 1460 North Fairview Avenue in
Goleta. The Wendy McCaw Wildlife
Care Center will be open seven days a
week from 9 am to 5 pm.

Carpinteria Bans
Plastic Bags
On Monday, March 12, the
Carpinteria City Council voted to
ban the use of single-use plastic bags
in the city. The new ordinance will
go into effect this summer for large
stores; smaller stores, which bring in
less than $5 million per year, will have
until next summer to make the switch.
The ban, which has been the subject
of several public hearings over the
past few years, states that both plastic
and paper bags will be banned from
large stores, while smaller stores and
restaurants will still be able to use
paper bags.
Concerns about the ban include pos-
sible litigation against the city; Save the
Plastic Bag Coalition has promised to
sue the city if restaurants are not made
exempt from the ban, due to safety
concerns when carrying out hot food.
One concerned resident also mentioned
the ban would be bad for tourism, since
tourists who may not have reusable
bags with them will be dissuaded from
making purchases in Carpinteria. MJ

Kardashian Contribution
Basketball star Kris Humphries is
seeking a bumper payday from his
72-day marriage to TV reality star Kim
Kardashian, 31, to avoid an unseemly
public divorce trial.
Humphries, 27, who just signed
a $8 million one-year contract with
the New Jersey Nets, has given his
estranged wife an ultimatum pay up
or endure a very public trial, accord-
ing to website TMZ.
But the Kardashian camp, who
gathered en masse in Montecito last
August for the celebrity-jammed
nuptials at venture capitalist Frank
Caufields sprawling estate, not sur-
prisingly, have rejected the ultimatum
issued by his Minnesota-based lawyer
Lee Hutton.
Spurned Humphries is seeking an
annulment to the marriage instead of
a divorce, citing fraud.
But at least some good came out
of the event, which was broadcast
worldwide by E! Entertainment TV.
Thomas Rollerson, head of Santa
Barbaras Dream Foundation, says a
donation of around $200,000 has been
made to the charity by Kardashian,
the monetary value of her wedding
gifts.
Its an unfortunate scenario in which
to receive funds, but there is no question
that it will serve others who are suffer-
ing from illness, says Thomas. With
donor gifts down and a constant stream
of requests from families in need on the
rise, it will help greatly....
Book Bash
Tecolote, the lively literary lair in the
Upper Village, was socially gridlocked
when local award-winning author,
Louise Gaylord, launched her fourth
murder mystery book Dark Lake.
The tantalizing 169-page tome based
in the Adirondacks, part of Louises
popular Allie Arlington series that
she launched nine years ago, cen-
ters around the untimely death of the
sleuths aunt.
I dont outline my novels so some-
times I even surprise myself, says
Louise, who splits her time between
Montecito and Houston, Texas. I real-
ly write to amuse myself.
One of my writing instructors said
I should have fun when Im writing.
Louise, an active board member for
Opera Santa Barbara, is now writing
her fifth book in the series, titled A
Cruise to Die For.
Im assured it will bear no resem-
blance to the Costa Concordia disaster
off a Tuscan island in January...
Season Sets Sail
Santa Barbara Yacht Club couldnt
have had better weather to launch its
140th sailing season.
More than 300 guests, including
Ronald Schaupeter, commodore of
Michigans Grosse Point YC, and his
wife, Priscilla whose son, Brad, is
the local race director , took to the
water and swarmed the balconies.
Dave Baxter, this years commo-
dore, donned a 60-year-old hat to kick
off the ceremonies, which included
mayor Helene Schneider, Roger and
Sarah Chrisman, councilman Randy
Rowse, John and Nancy Daley, Eli
Parker, son of the late Fess Parker, and
rocker Bruce Johnston.
After the races, a giant birthday
cake featuring lasered pictures of the
first and current clubs was gobbled up
by the maritime munchers...
Figaro Fete
Opera Santa Barbara supporters,
Bob and Sandy Urquhart, threw open
the doors of their charming Bel Air
Knolls manse to welcome the cast and
crew of the companys forthcoming
production of Mozarts The Marriage
of Figaro at the Granada on March 23,
with an additional matinee perfor-
mance two days later.
The classic production of the comic
masterpiece features two recent Music
Academy of the West alumni, bass-
baritone Brandon Cedel in the title
role and soprano Karen Vuong, who
won first place in last years Marilyn
Horne song competition.
The production is an operatic cor-
nerstone, says artistic director Jose
Maria Condemi. This is a rare com-
edy that reaches a level of humanity
that few tragedies manage to achieve.
It is a masterpiece that demonstrates
that class politics are no obstacle to the
richness of human intellect and the
spontaneity of human emotion.
Among the 60 guests were for-
mer president Fred Sidon and wife,
Diane, Herb and Elaine Kendall, Jim
and Marcia Wolfe, board member
Marlyn Bernstein celebrating her
birthday, director Steven Sharpe,
Lee and Linda Rosenberg, Simon
Williams and Valery Ryvkin, who
returns to the podium to conduct the
show, his 38th since 1995...
Musical Mlange
Ancient music was the theme over
the last few days, with the Quire of
Voyces, under the expert leadership
of Nathan Kreitzer, raising the roof of
St. Anthonys Chapel with an eclectic
program from the 16th century to the
present.
Thomas Tallis Gaude Gloriosa Dei
Mater, a lengthy work featuring solo
sopranos, altos, tenors and basses,
was a real winner, while El Montecito
Presbyterian Church director of music
Michael Eglins work Barter was a
worthy complement.
At the Lobero is was the turn of the
Anonymous 4, an all-female quartet,
to shine in their 25th anniversary con-
cert Anthology 25.
The show, part of CAMAs
Masterseries, featured Ruth
Cunningham, Marsha Genensky,
Susan Hellauer and Jacqueline
Horner-Kwiatek, combining histori-
cal scholarship with contemporary
performance intuition to create a
unique magical sound of medieval,
modern and American music.
The chemistry was obvious...
Perry Propels Ahead
The ink is only just dry on her
divorce papers from British come-
dian Russell Brand, but Katy Perry is
clearly a girl who believes in moving
forward as soon as possible.
The sexy 27-year-old songstress, a
former student at Dos Pueblos High
School, is now being linked with
Baptiste Giabiconi, the worlds high-
est paid male model.
The pair met during the Chanel
runway show at Paris Fashion Week,
according to celebzter.com.
He was sitting next to her at the
event, says a source. Then when we
all had dinner the other night, they
were holding hands and looking cozy,
and now they are inseparable.
Princess Kasia Al-Thani, a mem-
ber of the royal family of the Middle
East state of Qatar, a close friend of
Giabiconi, adds the 22-year-old hunk
is totally taken with Katy.
He is an incredible model, musi-
cian and humanitarian, she says. He
is a great guy and hes totally smitten.
Katy is the perfect girl for him.
Giabiconi has modeled for Chanel,
Karl Lagerfeld, Roberto Cavalli and
Giorgio Armani.
Stay tuned...

Chocolate de Vine
The Music Academy of the Wests
Lotte Lehmann Hall was jammed with
250 sweet tooths and oenophiles when
Santa Barbaras Rape Crisis Center
threw its fourth annual Chocolate de
Vine bash, raising around $50,000 for
the charity.
Its such a lovely combination
for an event and always seems very
popular, says executive director Elsa
Granados. We certainly need all the
help we can get with numbers sky-
rocketing because of the bad economy.
Last year alone we dealt with 680
people.
The gastronomic gala, emceed by
Sean English, also featured an auction
with prizes including trips to Spain
and Puerto Rico, and chocolate from
a host of suppliers, including Renaud
Gonthier, Bacaras Daniel Sampson,
the Biltmores Don Hall and Tom

Camerata Concert
Camerata Pacifica put on a show
with a distinct difference at the Music
Academy of the Wests Hahn Hall.
The concert, which was recorded for
TV on KCET, Los Angeles featured
works by Debussy, Bennett, Xenakis
and Takemitsu in the first half, with
flautist Adrian Spence, British oboist
Nicholas Daniel just awarded an MBE
by Queen Elizabeth pianist Adam
Neiman and percussionist Ji Hye Jung,
who wowed us on the marimba.
The exhilarating evening wrapped
with Shostakovichs Piano Quintet in
G minor, with keyboardist Neiman,
violinists Catherine Leonard and Ara
Gregorian, violist Richard Yongjae
ONeill, and cellist Ani Aznavoorian...
Rest in Peace
On a personal note, I mourn the
passing of Selma Rubin, a woman of
great character and passion.
With her mlange of magnificent
millinery and her trademark blue-
rimmed glasses, Selma was a dis-
tinctive and distinguished figure in
Santa Barbara, known particularly
for her work for environmental pro-
tection.
In my five years in this tony town, I
would often see Selma out at various
events, frequently at the Granada, lat-
terly in her wheelchair.
She rather reminded me of a West
Coast version of the late New York
politico Bella Abzug, also known for
her hats and her zeal as a leading
feminist, who I also met often during
my 24 years in Manhattan.
Activist extraordinaire Selma had
the most enormous energy, serving on
42 nonprofit boards in our Eden by the
Beach since 1964.
She just left us at the age of 96, just a
week short of her 97th birthday.
Her colorful presence will be much
missed...

I
n Almost Heaven: A Walk Through
Old Summerland by Myrna Davis
and Mary Holzhauer, there is
mention of Literary Hall. Literary
Hall, located on Banner Avenue and
Hollister (as far as I can tell from their
map) was built in 1889-90 by the Free
Library Association. H.L. Williams,
our towns founding father, sold the
Association the lots for $1 gold.
The two story building contained a
library, a room for literary exercises
and recreation room for dances and
other events. The hall burned down in
1905.
Now I, along with others, hope to
revive Summerlands literary past on a
semi-regular basis when Summerland
authors and others will gather to cel-
ebrate words and the writing life.
The OCDs meet-up (Organization of
Creatively Disorganized) will kick off
on Sunday, March 18 from 3:30 pm
to 6:30 pm (or so) at Caf Luna on
Lillie Avenue. Those who want to
carry-on are welcome to stay until 8
pm or quittin time. Musicians, artists
and other creative types, as well as
friends, families and fans of all ages
are all welcome, of course. And sure,
go ahead and dance if you feel like it
or do some literary exercising.
Who to expect?
Summerland novelist John De
Herrera will have copies of his easy-
to-follow interpretation of Hamlet/
Macbeth Translations by non other
than Willy Shakespeare (Alipes Press,
$15. Also on kindle for $9.99). De
Herreras novel, The Kingsnake in the
Sun, which has scenes on Mountain
Drive and features a surfer protago-
nist, is out of print, but an e-book
version is available. De Herrera plans
to invite some other writer pals, he
informed me from his cell phone, while
driving home from a County Sheriffs
convention in Vegas. Interesting chap.
Montecito Journals own Shelly
Lowenkopf, who has a post office
box in Summerland and leads writing
workshops at Caf Luna, will be on
hand with his thick, 632-page tome,
The Fiction Lovers Companion (Water
Street Press, $29.95).
Summerlandian Ken Cohen writes
books for children and the young
at heart including Imagine That! A
Childs Guide to Yoga (Integral Yoga
Press) illustrated by Joan Hyme. The
book of illustrated poetry includes
a complete instruction guide for a
childs study of Hatha Yoga. Bring
your iPad to check out his new bed-
time e-book Songs of the Sandman with
illustrations by Izzy Greer, published
by Lucky Penny Press, a childrens
books website recently launched by
former Summerland resident Melissa
Marsted. Ken will be reading to
youngsters in the crowd.
Rod Lathim, although not a resi-
dent, worked at the Big Yellow House
in his youth and his book, The Spirit
of the Big Yellow House, covers the
ghosts, history and Spiritualist side
of Summerlands H.L Williams, the
inspired founder of Summerland in
the late 1800s.
I will also be there with copies of my
newly released 5
th
edition of Insiders
Guide to Santa Barbara (Globe Pequot
Press, $16.95), an informative guide
to all things Santa Barbara and nearby
environs for travelers and residents
alike. Makes a great gift for your
houseguests and visiting family mem-
bers.
I hope Fran Davis the marvel-
ous fiction writer and poet, who also
pens a Summerland column (in the
Coastal View News) as well as Ronald
Reagan biographer Lou Cannon,
author and single at heart expert
Bella DePaulo, and others who toil
away in their Summerland writing
lairs, will join in the revelry.
Come on down, have a glass of
wine, a cuppa java, a slice of pizza
and buy a book, or two, or three from
local authors. Or bring along your
own book if you have one to peddle
and share it with others. With all the
e-books, maybe this will morph into a
virtual party. But I hear the pizza isnt
so tasty in cyberspace MJ

Coup De Grace
by Grace Rachow
Ms Rachows grandmother used to say the world isnt going to end if you
dont get what you want. Ms Rachow is still wondering if that is so.
Making Hay While the Sun Shines
W
hen somebody in our
farming family headed out
to mow alfalfa, Grandma
Shirley used to say, Make hay while
the sun shines. I didnt realize this
phrase was just a fgure of speech
until many years later.
Ive been using it a lot during this
balmy winter weve been having. Ill
think maybe I should do my income
taxes or some other inside chore.
And then I shake my head and say,
Nope, gotta make hay while the sun
shines, and I head out the door, and
into the garden to prune a tree or pull
some weeds.
Grandma Shirley would not have
approved of this. She also liked to say,
First things first. Yeah, but what
does that mean? To her it meant keep-
ing a perfect house with no dishes in
the sink or dust on the sills. To me
first things means planting enough
pink jasmine to make our backyard
smell like a perfume factory.
Needless to say, because Ive been
shirking indoor duties all winter, my
grandmothers aphorisms have been
on my mind.
She was born in 1898, one of seven
redheaded kids. She saw a lot of his-
tory in her life. When she came on the
scene, horsepower came from actual
horses, and Orville and Wilbur had
not made their first flight. She was
still in her teens for the duration of
WWI. She was already of voting age
when women in the U.S. got the right
to vote.
She breezed through Prohibition,
as she was a lifelong teetotaler. I
am quite sure she never swallowed
a drop, but for reasons no one can
explain there was an unopened bottle
of Mogen David wine in her refrig-
erator for many years. Maybe she
thought if times got really tough, she
would take up drinking.
By the time I was born shed been
through the Great Depression and
WWII, and she looked all too much
like a worn-out farm worker in one
of those Dorothea Lange FSA photos.
Grandma was such serious woman
that Id love to hear what shed say
about the shenanigans going on in
2012.
My grandmother liked to say,
Thats using your noggin, her high-
est form of praise when I did some-
thing she approved of. Maybe after
all these years, sitting on her cloud
in heaven, shes mellowed enough to
understand that it is using my noggin
to spend these sunny days pruning
the pittosporum.
Now if wed had a cold miser-
able winter, it wouldve made all
the sense in the world to sit inside
fretting over whether it will be Mitt,
Rick or Newt and catching up on my
mending.
Mending? Yes, I know, theres no
such thing in 2012, but I was trained
at the knee of the greatest. Thanks to
Grandma Shirley I can weave, darn,
stitch, tat, embroider, knit, quilt, and,
if I had to, I could make a tailored suit
from scratch. Never mind that these
days my sewing consists of stitching
up embarrassing tears after a rose
thorn grabs the seat of my gardening
pants. Still I could sit inside and stew
over politics, if it rained long and
hard enough.
But El Nina has been in charge of
our winter weather, and Ive been
busy making hay while the sun
shines. Of course, it was my grand-
mother who taught me to garden.
In summer, the acreage around her
Nebraska farmhouse was alive with
lilacs, peonies, irises, daffodils and
hollyhocks.
Three months of solid yard work
have made my hands look like
gnarled tree trunks. Yes I have gloves,
but apparently you have to use your
noggin and actually wear the things
if you want your hands to survive.
Scouring them with a stiff nailbrush
does as much good as teaching a dog
to meow. Yep, another of Grandmas
favorites.
Her all time favorite phrase was
Wash your hands, you dont know
where theyve been. What she
meant was she didnt know where
my hands had been, but she could
guess Id been catching toads or dig-
ging worms.
In an attempt to make more of a girl
of me, she taught me how to make
ballerinas out of hollyhock blossoms.
Ballerinas werent exactly my thing,
but I was impressed my no nonsense
grandmother had this spark of whim-
sy in her.
I wish now that once before she
died Id said, Grandma, lets break
out the Mogen David and toss back
a few.
Id have gotten a bop on the noggin,
but it wouldve been so worth it. MJ

Coming & Going
by James Buckley
Rebound Rumble
T
his Saturday, St. Paddys Day,
March 17, could be a very
special day for a group of high
school seniors. On Saturday, elite
Team 1717 from the Dos Pueblos High
School Engineering Academy will
head down to Long Beach to compete
against 70 to 80 other teams in this
years regional FIRST (For Inspiration
and Recognition of Science and
Technology) Robotics competition. If
Team 1717 is successful, it will advance
to the fnals, to be held this year at the
end of April in St. Louis. Last year,
Team 1717 went to the nationals and
scored in the top ten against nearly
300 teams.
Mission Possible
Every year, FIRST Robotics releases
a two-minute game video explaining
the challenge. This year it is called
Rebound Rumble, which the Dos
Pueblos seniors got on January 7,
advising them they had six weeks
to design and program a robot to do
certain things. Along with the video,
they were given a set of rules. We
then have to decide how to proceed,
how to play the game, explains
team member Lane Tanner.
The seniors spent the first week
studying the rules and understand-
ing the game and its requirements.
Next, they began putting ideas and
equations up on a whiteboard and
conceptualizing. The next couple of
weeks were spent prototyping and
strategizing. At first, they made a
wooden shooter (the robot will be
required to shoot basketballs into
an array of baskets). Then, using a
3-D SolidWorks CAD program, they
began to design the actual shooter
robot, to be made mostly out of alu-
minum. There are perhaps 1800 parts
in the robot, and ninety percent of
them are made right in the machine
shop, mostly by team member Laura
Voyen, so that they can control the
parts. We used to buy the transmis-
sions, but now we build them from
scratch, Laura says.
The game is simple enough.
Four scoring baskets are arrayed
on opposite walls at three different
heights on a regulation basketball
court. The robot is expected to pick
up, carry, and throw balls into the
baskets. Teams score 3 points for
getting a ball into the top basket, 2
for the two baskets under that, and
1 point for the lower basket. One of
the obstacles to overcome is a four-
inch-high barrier in the middle of
the court; the robots must cross it in
order to shoot. There are also three
teeter-totter-style bridges that allow
the bots to cross over the barrier,
With basketballs in hand, Team 1717 members Gwen Archambault, Lane Fuller, Esther Nam, Laura
Voyen, and Jake Moghtader prepares for this years FIRST Robotics challenge

The dead oak trees up and down Hot Springs, Middle Road, Sycamore Canyon, Oak Road, Olive Mill,
San Ysidro and other byways close to the ocean arent really dead at all; and, theyll most likely bounce
right back as nature takes its course
The Arborist
The Worms Are Coming
by Dave Holien
T
he worms are coming! The
worms are coming!
Well, unfortunately, they are
already here.
Youve probably noticed oak trees in
the area that look like they are dead
actually, they arent dead; their foliage
is being eaten by oak worms.
Oak worms are not really worms
at all. They are caterpillars, and man,
can those caterpillars eat. When they
reach full size and are present in high
numbers they can eat all the leaves off
a tree in a matter of days.
Common lore says that infestations
happen every seven years, but obvi-
ously that isnt true. We had a bad
infestation here in Santa Barbara in
2007. We also had a small attack in
September of last year. I believe that
because of the unusually mild winter
weve had this year, they just bided
their time as eggs and hatched out
early with the warm spring.
The oak worms mission in life is
not to kill the trees, its just to eat and
reproduce. In most cases, they will not
kill the tree. Most trees will refoliate in
about three weeks.
The problem is that the tree uses a
lot of energy to push out a new set
of leaves, and each time it does that
it stresses the tree, leaving it at risk
to damage from other pests, diseases,
drought, etc. Three or four defolia-
tions can prove a major setback to a
trees health.
At this point the infestation is most-
ly in the areas close to the beach and
inland about one mile. Dont ask me
why; Im not a caterpillar! Judging by
the outbreak of 2007, they will be 2-3
miles inland toward the mountains by
early summer.
I think the reason most people dis-
like the worms more than the tree
does is that they just cant stand the
worms crawling all over their houses
and lawn furniture. It can get pretty
disgusting.
Detection of the critters is pretty
easy. Go out in the early evening and
look at your oak trees. If you see a
bunch of grayish-white moths frol-
icking around the tops of the trees,
you know that they are laying eggs.
The eggs usually hatch in 12 to 20
days, depending upon the tempera-
ture.
After 12 days, take a white paper
plate and stake it into the ground.
Check it every day. If you see tiny,
greenish-brown little pellets, you
know the caterpillars are in your tree.
If you want to treat the tree, thats the
best time to do it.
What can you do to get rid of an
oak worm infestation? If you just
cant stand the bugs all over your
home, car, patio, hair, etc., there
are sprays that will knock down an
infestation almost instantly. There
are also new organic sprays that do a
good job of eliminating the caterpil-
lars without harming other benefi-
cial insects.
Or you can let nature take its course.
I expect this to be a bumper year
for oak worms, since were seeing so
many of them so early. They tend to
attack in waves as the caterpillar and
moth stages cycle rapidly in warmer
weather. Healthy trees can handle an
attack or two, but keep an eye on
older or stressed trees that might ben-
efit from a helping hand. MJ

Caring for the Caregiver
SENIORITY

aregiving can be immensely
rewarding and add purpose
to a persons life. It can also
take a toll physically, emotionally,
and spiritually. Community support
and guidance can make a real
difference in the lives of caregivers
and those they care for. On Saturday,
March 17, a workshop for caregivers
will be held at La Casa de Maria.
The event, co-sponsored by Visiting
Nurse and Hospice Care of Santa
Barbara, will provide tools for
professional and non-professional
caregivers to replenish themselves
while maintaining and strengthening
their empathy and commitment to
caregiving.
According to La Casa de Marias
associate director, Juliet Spohn
Twomey, previous workshops
revealed that professional caregivers
share a common longing to recon-
nect their soul with their role. She
went on to explain that they are often
told that they need to have clear
boundaries between themselves and
their patients. But no matter how
good their clinical care may be, if
professionals become detached, they
do a disservice to both themselves
and their patients. In contrast, non-
professional caregivers are not told
to keep a professional distance but
they need to find ways to keep the
loving connection without becoming
overwhelmed.
The events keynote speakers are
Dr. Michael Kearney and his wife,
Dr. Radhule Weininger. Michael
Kearney is director of Palliative Care
at Cottage Hospital and also the
medical director of Visiting Nurse
and Hospice and their new Serenity
House. Dr. Kearney was trained in
England by Cicely Saunders, who
is credited with being the founder
of the contemporary hospice move-
ment. He comes from an Irish ances-
try and incorporates Celtic tradi-
tions and rituals in his teachings.
Michael is also very interested in
Native American indigenous spiri-
tuality. In contrast, Radhule teach-
es Mindfulness Meditation, has a
Buddhist perspective, and is a prac-
ticing psychotherapist. Each will
share his distinctive spiritual tradi-
tions and philosophies as well as
practical tools combining their psy-
chological and medical backgrounds.
Participants will learn skills that will
enhance both their caregiving and
self-care.
It will be a retreat day as well as
a workshop. Rituals and meditation
will be bookends delineating the
beginning and end of the day. Care
has been taken to select earth-based
rituals that will be suitable for par-
ticipants of all faiths. Much of the
morning will involve practices for
wellness and the true meaning and
value of exquisite empathy will be
discussed. In the afternoon, partici-
pants will be given a choice of taking
part in meditation, journaling, or
contemplative dialogue workshops.
The cost is $45 and lunch is includ-
ed. Register online at www.lacasade
maria.org or call 969-5031.
About
La Casa de Maria
I frequently meet Montecito and
Santa Barbara residents who have
not had the pleasure of discover-
ing La Casa de Maria. When youre
driving on East Valley Road, a small
unassuming sign at the corner of
El Bosque Road marks the turn off
to this remarkable spiritual retreat
center. Follow the rural El Bosque
Road to its end and youll be at
the entrance of this beloved sanc-
tuary. La Casa de Maria provides
a place for people of all faiths and
diverse spiritual paths to seek and
find nourishment. Hundreds of non-
profit, faith-based, educational and
nonprofit groups stay at La Casa de
Maria and hold their workshops,
conferences and retreats there each
year. In addition, the Immaculate
Heart Center for Spiritual Renewal
serves individuals and couples for
non-structured, personal retreats.
Guests who reside at La Casa de
Maria while attending a program
are charged a residential program
fee. Commuters, who are likely to
be Santa Barbara residents, are able
to attend at a reduced rate. Group
accommodations include motel-
size retreat rooms and large houses.
Accommodations do not include
radios, televisions, or phones. Be
prepared to enter into a state of
relaxation and delight while stay-
ing or visiting La Casa de Maria. Its
seasonal schedule offers a number of
extended spiritual programs, each of
which lasts several days. In addition,
there are Wednesday retreat days, as
well as centering prayer and medita-
tion practice offered at no charge.

The Engineering
Academy
Sandy Seale is President of the
Dos Pueblos Enginering Academy
Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)
(3) set up to support the academy
program, founded by MacArthur
Fellow award-winner and physics
teacher Amir Abo-Shaeer in 2002.
In 2007, Amir applied for a state
grant to build a new facility on the
Dos Pueblos High School grounds
and nabbed a $3 million grant. The
only catch being that it required him
to raise a matching $3 million. The
school district said good luck,
relates Sandy, so a bunch of parents
got together and started the 501(c)
(3) to raise the capital for the build-
ing. Among the major donors was
Dr. Virgil Elings, who donated $1
million, and Raytheon, which came
up with $250,000. We succeeded in
April of last year; the ribbon cutting
was in October, and the students
have been in since January, Sandy
reports.
Before construction of the new
building, the academy operated out
of a tiny little room, she says,
next to the auto shop that was
shared with the Yearbook.
The Dos Pueblos Engineering
Academy is a four-year program
within Dos Pueblos High School;
classes consist of one period a day
and after school. It is very well
equipped; inside the new building,
for example, each student worksta-
tion in the machine shop has a mini-
lathe. Mr. Shaeer saw a video of
instruction in China in which each
student had his own machine, Ms
Seale explains. And he said, We
have to do that. He ordered them
from China (32 lathes at a cost of
$1,400 apiece) and it took months
for them to arrive by ship. Each
student also is assigned a powerful
individual HP computer.
Open Enrollment allows any stu-
dent within the Santa Barbara area to
attend the academy, which can now
accommodate up to 400 students;
this year there are 108 freshmen.
The curriculum consists of physics,
engineering, design, AP computer
software, and machining. We have
the biggest machine shop in Santa
Barbara County, Sandy boasts.
There are two larger Computer
Numerical Controlled (CNC) mills
in the machine shop that take their
instructions from a computer file,
to make sure everything is made
with great precision. There are also
manual mills and lathes nearby.
Parents and supporters must raise
the operating budget every year, as
the school district puts no money
into the program. They pay the
teachers salaries; they pay the elec-
tric bill, but we do everything else.
They provided the site, explains Ms
Seale. For more information on the
foundation, please visit dpeaf.org

Captain Chesley Sully
Sullenberger and his wife, Lorrie,
addressed a capacity crowd at a
Birnam Wood fundraiser for Guide
Dogs for the Blind on Sunday
afternoon, March 11. The couple
cheerfully recounted the events of
January 15, 2009, when Sully and
First Officer Jeffrey Skiles, pilot-
ing US Airways Flight 1549 bound
for Charlotte, North Carolina, were
forced to land quickly after their
jet engines ingested a number of
birds out of a flock of geese, caus-
ing the engines to stall. Sully and
Skiles successfully maneuvered
their Airbus A320 onto a safe land-
ing in the middle of the Hudson
River and saved the lives of all 150
passengers and five crewmembers.
And, it all happened at a time when
America desperately needed a little
good news, something that turned
out well, a morale boost. A movie of
the event is currently being filmed.
We have two landlines, a fax
line, and three cell phones and

Captain Chesley Sully Sullenberger and his wife

they all started ringing simultane-
ously the minute the press learned
Sullys name, Lorrie recounted.
Our house went crazy. All the lines
were ringing, faxes were coming in.
The media surrounded our court
and down our street and it stayed
like that for weeks, she added. The
Sullenbergers have been married
for 25 years, display a visible love
and respect for each other, seem to
share the same understated sense of
humor, and have been puppy rais-
ers for Guide Dogs for the Blind for
many years. They are, in short, an
absolutely delightful couple.
Lorries account of how she first
heard of her husbands exploit was
filled with self-deprecating humor.
Im on the phone with a friend,
she recalled, when one of the cell
phones rings and I could see that it
was Sully, so I didnt answer, figur-
ing Id call him back when I got off
the phone. But then he called again
on one of the other cell phones, then
the landline and the fax machine.
Im going to have to call you back,
she told her friend on the other end
of the line, My husband is being an
ass about getting hold of me.
When she answered the phone she
said, slightly annoyed: What?
I just wanted to let you know
that Im alright, Sully replied, not
explaining that he was wet, cold,
on a life raft in the middle of the
Hudson River, and that he had land-
ed his plane on the water about 45
minutes ago.
And? she asked.
Ah, well, there was an incident,
Sully told her. You should turn on
the TV.
She did, of course, turn on the
TV and their life, she lamented,
has never been the same.
Sullys delivery was quiet, color-
ful and forceful. He gave credit to
his First Officer, the crew, the first
responders, the American Red Cross,
the ferry captain, and many others.
He explained that the flight record-
er is something [the public] cannot
hear by Federal law; what youve
heard before is the radio communi-
cations, and went on to describe
what was on the flight recorder after
it had been retrieved.
When the tape began [FCC inves-
tigators] heard the voices of two men
working urgently together, fighting
not only for the lives of passen-
gers and crew but for their own. In
an increasing crescendo, you heard
every alert, alarm, warning, synthet-
ic voice, continuous chime sound-
ing in that cockpit with increasing
frequency. Ground proximity warn-
ing alerts, intense ground proximity
system warning alerts, traffic colli-
sion avoidance system alerts, and

and Brighter Than Ever
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.
A
ni DiFranco took more than
three years to make her new
album Which Side Are You
On?, which is at least three times
longer than the gap between any of her
releases between 1990 and 2008, when
the albums came as fast and furious as
the seeming stream-of-consciousness
ranting of her overtly political songs.
But shes 41 now, recently re-married
with a fve-year-old child who
takes up much more time now than
songwriting or practicing guitar. The
touring has been cut back dramatically,
too; DiFrancos concert on Wednesday
at the Lobero is her frst in town in a
while.
The fiercely independent singer-
songwriter is still a relentless force for
freedom and equality and still doing
it outside of the corporate world via
her 20-year-old indie label Righteous
Babe Records. But now shes actu-
ally happy, hard as it may seem to
believe, as she told us in an extensive
telephone interview earlier this week.
Heres a condensed version.
Q. Your new album revisits specific
areas of feminism, even in one of the new
verses for the title song, your update of the
early American worker protest songs. Can
you talk about your evolving perspective
on the issue?
A. Patriarchy is the underlying tow-
ering unbalance in power. Its global
and it goes way back. As I get older
Ive come to understand peace to be
product of balance. You dont have
to achieve perfection in what you
consume or your relationships with
others. You just have to have balance.
If you dont have it in your body or
a social system or international rela-
tions, you will never have peace. As
counterintuitive as it seems we need
to address patriarchy and reinvent
ourselves form the ground up to solve
these contemporary problems like war
and environmental destruction. But
its a very complex business. And its
essential to have both the masculine
and feminine approach. Ive visited
little planets run by women. Theres
some scary stuff to be found there too.
The thing about feminism is that
it hasnt evolved. Its been culturally
marginalized and slowly lost respect
and energy. It should be the business
of both genders, but not even women
are focusing on developing tools to
counteract and repair whats happen-
ing. That came up for me in a big way
with having my daughter and seeing
how the culture creates the reality. I
wanted to put as much of my vision
and immediate steps to take into that
song without alienating people.
How do you decide what youre going
to record, thematically; is it whats up for
you now, a question of variety or some-
thing else?
I used to record everything I wrote.
As I get older Im not so much a bet-
ter writer but Im a better editor. Now
some songs become fuel for some-
thing else. I let things develop more.
Experience shows me which songs
stick around as opposed to being talk-
ed out [But] I rarely do things intel-
lectually or strategically or actually
even decide Im going to do them. My
subconscious is in control. I follow my
spleen.
The album also has a more upbeat
theme. Is that a reflection of whats been
changing in your life?
Yeah, sure. Anybody past forty is
doing a fair amount of reflecting,
hopefully. You look at it from the out-
side, and that makes you see yourself
as a young person. Hopefully youve
grown and changed.
Youve addressed that directly in If Yr
Not on the new album. How has it been
to have all these changes in your life: being
married, a child, touring and recording
far less?
Its been awesome for me to have
that balance in my life I never had
before, something to come home to, a
family that makes me happy. I was one
of those very typical artists pounding
around trying to fill the gaping holes
in my life. It propelled me on stage.
Not to say Im all healed and shiny
and glowing now. But there is balance.
And most of my energy goes into my
kid now Initially I was resistant
to change and being torn away from
what I knew and loved. But taking
time to make a record is a good idea.
You get perspective along the way.
You make better sounding records.
Are you at all worried that happiness
might blunt your edge?
It is a concern, not because how
I think or what I have to offer is
any different. Im not changed. But
my will to get out there and kill
myself trying to crusade and change
the world has definitely waned. Once
you find a happiness that is simple,
thats how it is. Everybodys energy
arcs. But while youth is a very power-
ful, vibrant energy and good for the
world, maturity has other things to
offer I certainly feel more grateful
to be on stage than I did when I was
overworking. Im enjoying perform-
ing more than ever. I almost feel like
Ive circled back around to the very
young me, more related to the twenty-
two-year-old Ani than all the ones in
between.
On the other hand, how do you keep
from getting jaded or paralyzed by cyni-
cism and does that show up in your
music?
I feel like its such important work. I
try to slip the P word (politics) into
daily conversation. It doesnt always
stick. But I do feel a sense of respon-
sibility to share what I know, pass
it on [On the other hand], I have
about twenty unfinished songs. My
standards are getting a bit too high
for my bad self. Thats the cynicism.
But there are so many things I need
to have to get it right, to come up
with something I can play for the
next twenty years. Its just like in my
personal relationships, learning con-
structive ways to express my pain,
ways that dont threaten. Thats what
experience brings.
Youve never been shy about revealing
just about anything in your songs. What
makes you such an open book? Do you
ever have doubts about invading your
own privacy?
Very early on I realized that the
more honest I was, even if I was in an
unflattering light, there was a power.
The response was intense. Id do the
most amped up, shrill, feminine obser-
vations, and there would be young
women who jumped out of nowhere
and connected. They tattooed my face
on their faces. The energy of those
who thanked me for saying what they
couldnt was so rewarding, it got me
through the negative energy of people
telling me to shut up Nothing is
private, nothing is personal. Thats
fear. The more I was willing to use
myself to improve the songs, the more
I would connect And theres com-
edy, too It doesnt show up on the
albums, but my stage show is always
about first make them laugh, get the
belly wide open and then drop some-
thing in there.
My ex-girlfriend wanted me to ask you
about your singing style and how you
developed it. Was it purely natural?
Totally instinctually for better or
worse. I was much more of a guitar
player and the singing just was to
get the words out. It wasnt until I
started listening that I began to work
on it. Im still developing it. The voice
is so simple but also so elusive. To
make good art as a singer, you have to
become a conduit, drop every veil and
just let it out. And where youre at is
always a factor. Thats how peace and
contentment helps my singing. You
can hear it on stage. Im so much more
relaxed. Its a much more gratifying
place to sing from. Inner peace has
been a great instructor.

Stomp on it
Its natural to wonder what sort of
band calls itself Stompy Jones, and
that makes David Rose really happy.
The name, you see, comes from the
title of a Duke Ellington song from
the mid-1930s, one that Duke also
recorded in the 1950s, making it
something of a transition piece to the
Swing Era, and thats exactly what
Roses band is aiming for.
Plus, it makes people scratch their
head and wonder what its all about,

Prices start at $3200 for a 24x36 oil portrait of one person
said Rose, who is still fixated on the
music that first captured his attention
when he moved to San Francisco,
relocating from Kansas City sever-
al years before the so-called swing
revival hit in the mid-1990s.
I feel like I have a real simpatico
with the rhythm-and-blues era, said
Rose, the leader, chief songwriter and
bassist in Stompy Jones, who are
based in the Bay Area. Plus, its per-
fect for my instrument; its about as
raucous as the string bass can get. Its
not a back of the restaurant sound.
Its music for dancing.
Dance is the operative word, here.
Stompy Jones, always a regular visi-
tor to the area since forming in 1997
under the original name of Swing
Session, are in the midst of a six-
month series of gigs that brings them
to the stage of the Carrillo Recreation
Center ballroom to play for the twice-
monthly swing dances every third
Friday of the month.
Some artists might get offended
when people are moving to the music
rather than paying attention to the
music makers on stage. But Rose
thrives on the dancers energy.
The whole idea that you want
people to be quiet and listen to you
I dont know. Its part of the bebop
jazz, turn-your-back-on-the-audience
thing. I guess thats artistry, or stage-
craft. But to me, theres nothing bet-
ter than playing for dancers. To have
people dancing to the music that you
make, its unbelievable. Its instant
feedback. Im at ease because I know
what were playing will go over. I
know we have a good feel, and we
give them all the beats so everybody
can dance.
But anybody who stops to listen
also wont be disappointed.
Unlike many of the other bands
who play at the bi-monthly swing
dances, Stompy Jones performs plen-
ty of originals alongside the jump
blues classic and swing era songs.
The bands latest CD, Sock It To Me
(which is being officially celebrated
at this weeks show), is loaded with
ten of Roses songs, plus two by saxo-
phonist Erv Ervin and just two cover
songs. Much of our music references
the whole California fever thing, but
I also just like writing songs in that
style, Rose explained, who fesses up
unabashedly to copying and emu-
lating the R&B classics.
But he comes by it honestly.
Its all about the history for me.
Its a Kansas City style that came
out to the west coast just the actors
and musicians who were looking to
become something, striving to make
it, Rose explained. I have that same
feeling. My story parallels a lot of
R&B stories. Whether you came here
to be in the movies or run a popu-
lar dance band, thats what its all
about.
While Rose loves watching the
dancers react to his music, hes not
about to jump off the stage and join
them anytime soon.
I love to dance, but as far as
swing, all I can do is the rock step,
he said. Someone showed me a little
bit of the shag once too. But I cant
really do it. I look so dopey.
Stompy Jones plays Friday night
from 8:30pm-12midnight at Carrillo
Recreation Center, 100 East Carrillo
Street. There is a free swing dance les-
son for beginners at 8 pm. The band
also performs on the third Friday of
each month through June, includ-

Musically Engaging Experiences
Its all about MEE well actually, you, the
audience at the Santa Barbara Chamber
Orchestras upcoming concerts. MEE
stands for Musically Engaging Experiences,
a short series of informative concert
performances designed to enhance
enjoyment of live classical music for all
listeners of all ages. Rob Kapilow, who
has been compared to the legendary
Leonard Bernstein for his ability to decipher

Santa Barbara Symphony takes an
international tour of Latin-inspired

Mexicos most important orchestra,
the Orquesta Sinfnica Nacional de
Mexico, and with the re-emerging
Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra in

works, from the Manuel de Falla
ballet The Three-Cornered Hat,
and from Bizets opera, Carmen, re-
scored by Russian composer
Rodion Shchedrin. Da Costa a veteran of more than 1,000 concerts and recitals
throughout North America, Mexico, Europe, United Kingdom and Asia will solo
on Grammy-winning American composer Michael Daughertys 2003 Fire and

Diego Rivera to paint in the inner courtyard at the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1932. The

Stand up double take Just like
Jerry Seinfeld, Ray Romano was a
stand-up comedian who ventured into TV
sitcom in a series, co-created and written
by a real life friend, that was based
partially on stories from his life, and even
uses his real name in the title. Jerry is
Jewish, Romano Italian-American, but the
similarities are there. And just like Seinfeld,
Everybody Loves Raymond was a smash
hit, ran nearly a decade, and made its
star a ton of money. (Romano eclipsed the
Seinfeld crew and the Friends gang as
the highest paid actor in TV history.) So,
just like Seinfeld, he doesnt ever need to
work again, although unlike Seinfeld he
actually did sign up for another series,
Men of a Certain Age, which lasted from
2009-11 on TNT; he also voices Sid in
the Ice Age animated movies. So its a

Better than Wen-Cin-Deb Its not
polite to reveal a womens age, but lets
just say that collectively the three singer-
songwriters who comprise The Refugees
have more than 90 years of experience,
with 20 albums and multiple Grammy
nominations to boot. All of which would
mean squat if Wendy Waldman,
Cindy Bullens and Deborah Holland
werent able to harmonize, and in all sorts

solos and all sorts of blends but they
also get along famously with simpatico
senses of humor and a penchant for plenty

country, folk, rock and Americana is just
a bonus. Opening tonights installment

Takin It to the Streets
Doctors Without Walls Santa
Barbara Street Medicine has oper-
ated mostly under the radar since
its founding in 2005. The bare bones
nonprofit has been helping the home-
less for years, and now conducts three
medical clinics each week (at Pershing
Park, Alameda Park and Isla Vista),
tagging alongside the food distribu-
tion network to reach those most in
need with medical attention, admin-
istering medicine and arranging addi-
tional support from county services.
The organization came out in a big
way earlier this month with a benefit
concert featuring Michael McDonald.
After an opening set from his son and
accompanied by his wife, singer Amy
Holland, the former member of the
Doobie Brothers played a generous
93-minute set featuring most of his
greatest hits What a Fool Believes,
I Keep Forgettin, It Keeps You
Running, You Belong to Me Yah
Mo Be There, Sweet Freedom and
of course Takin It to the Streets,
the Doobies anthem that provided
the title of the evening event at the
Lobero.
Taking it to the streets is what
DWW-SBSM is all about, medical
director Jason Prystowsky explained
at the pre-concert reception. Meeting
people where theyre at is what we
do. The traditional approach of hav-
ing a structure for people to come
to you leaves out the most vulner-
able because they cant get there. The
whole idea of outreach and humani-
tarian solidarity is about tearing down
the traditional barriers to access.
Its really a part of disaster
response, because anyone could be
homeless in a disaster, added Nancy
Lapolla, DWWs board chair who
has also served as the countys EMS
Agency Director since 1998. The
founder, Mimi Doohan, saw that col-
leagues were responding to disasters
overseas, but we had a disaster right
here in Santa Barbara the homeless
that were being ignored. (Ironically,
Doohan wasnt able to attend the ben-
efit because of an overseas humanitar-
ian trip.)
The benefit concert was the first
public event for DWW, raising much
needed funds for the NGO organiza-
tion that had previously relied only
on small grants and private donations,
Lapolla said.
Sometimes we havent even known
how we were going to fund some of
the prescriptions, she said. Now
were on the cusp of bigger and bet-
ter things, and this will really help us
propel in that direction. And all the
money will show up in medicine on
the streets.
Whether it was the cause or just
a chance to perform in his newly
readopted hometown, McDonald
seemed enthusiastic and engaged all
evening. He fessed up to his age (he
turned 60 a couple of weeks earlier)
by saying Im a little older, a little
wiser, and yes, a little fatter please
dont focus on that all evening. And
he explained why he volunteered
to perform for free for DWW-SBSM:
Its a great sensory experience to
know were not just this affluent
community in California but a real
vital one with many economic strata,
McDonald said from the stage before
the first song. To be represented by
the efforts of these people (In DWW-
SBSM) is a wonderful privilege for
all of us Its a shining light in our
community.
The show began with a warm ver-
sion of his Christmas song Peace
and ended with a rousing rendition of
Stevie Wonders Living for the City,
providing the full measure of a man
and musician at home with his music,
and his community.

finally, a synthetic voice shouting
Terrain, terrain, too low, terrain, too
low, gear, too low, flaps, pull up,
pull up, pull up, pull up, pull up, pull
up until it suddenly stopped. They
were thunderstruck at the severity of
this 208-second-long event. They sat
there silently until one of them said,
That guy has been training for this
for his entire life.
Sully remembered that the out-
side temperature that day was 21
degrees, and that the water tem-
perature was 36 degrees, so if res-
cue personnel hadnt arrived as
quickly as they did the ferry
began picking up passengers off
the wings of the plane four minutes
after it came down hypothermia
would have been a real and imme-
diate problem.
People remember me as being
calm and collected, Sully says, but
that isnt exactly true. We had a job to
do, he explains, and then recounts
that his resting heart rate had always
been 60 beats per minute and had
gone up to 100 beats per minute for
weeks after. The same with his blood
pressure, which had always been
110/70; it rose to 160/70 and stayed
there for many weeks.
As for controlling whatever panic
may have set in among the passen-
gers, he said there simply wasnt
time, as it was a 208-second incident.
The only conversation he had with
the passengers was his instruction to
Brace for impact.
The Sullenbergers, who have been
puppy raisers and Guide Dogs for
the Blind breeder-keepers for a
number of years, offered their ser-
vices free of charge. They drove
down on their own from San Luis
Obispo (where their daughter
attends vet school at Cal Poly) at
the request of Karen Ingalls; she
and her husband, Bill, of Ingalls
Plumbing & Mechanical, are long-
time supporters of Guide Dogs for
the Blind.
After their talk, the Sullenbergers
stayed for photos; supporters paid
$500 apiece for the privilege of being
in the photo. All the money, natu-
rally, going to Guide Dogs for the
Blind. If you would like to learn
more, go to: guidedogs.com.
In Passing
William K. Foster (Bill) passed
away on January 4, 2012. He was born
in Ft. Worth, Texas, in 1933, grew up in
Dallas and graduated from Highland
Park High School. Bill received his
Bachelor of Business Administration
from The University of Texas (Austin)
in 1954, where he pledged Sigma Phi
Epsilon. He was a lifelong Christian
Scientist.
After a stint in the U.S. Army in
Hawaii, Bill and his wife, Margaret,
moved to New York City to begin
the fast track in advertising, joining
Ted Bates Advertising Agency in 1958.
He left Bates after 10 years where he
had become Senior Vice President.
Bill then joined Howard Johnsons
as Vice President Strategy and
Development.
In the early 70s Bill entered into
a co-venture with Golf Digest-The
New York Times, consulting in recre-
ation management and development.
During that venture, Bill led a group
to Russia to do a feasibility study
on opening the first golf course near
Moscow.
He established his own firm in
1980 The Institute for Innovation
which assisted corporations in becom-
ing more innovative and developing
new products. His clients consisted of
numerous Fortune 500 companies such
as Colgate-Palmolive, General Electric,
IBM, J. P. Morgan, Coca-Cola, Corning
Glass, CBS, Cox Communications,
Xerox, and many others.
Throughout his life, Bill was a pro-
lific oil and pastel painter. Prior to
retiring to Santa Barbara in 1998, Bill
and his family lived in Greenwich,
Connecticut for 30 years. He was active
in the Santa Barbara arts community
helping to create and direct many art
venues and shows for local artists and
organizations. When not painting, he
was golfing at the Greenwich Country
Club or the Birnam Wood Golf Club.
For one year, Bill wrote an art col-
umn for the Montecito Journal, profil-
ing local artists.
Bill was an active community vol-
unteer serving on board of the down-
town Santa Barbara Rotary Club, Santa
Barbara Art Association, SCAPES and
the Westmont Arts Council.
He is survived by his wife of 57
years, Margaret, and two children,
William, Jr. and his wife Robin Scott
of Baldhead Island, NC and Melissa
Foster Fetter and her husband Trevor
Fetter of Dallas, TX and 7 grandchil-
dren. MJ
COMInG & GOInG (Continued from page 37)
Josh Kass (sitting) and Rick Maiani livened up the time between brunch and Captain Sullenberger and
his wife, Lorries talk at Birnam Wood with a little musical interlude
Karen and Bill Ingalls (Ingalls Plumbing & Mechanical) have been married for 54 years; with them is
Rick Maiani (on the right). The Ingalls got involved in guide dogs in the early 80s, but became really
active about ten years ago.
There are so many people that dont know that the cost of a guide dog is totally free, Karen says,
adding. We pay for everything, and, as long as they are mobile and strong enough to go around and
do things, they are accepted into the program.
William Bill K. Foster
Puppy Raising Leader Rick Wait (with Anthem, his fifth dog), on the patio at Birnam Wood before Sullys
speech; Ricks wife, Vickie Lyons, is an optometrist at Cottage Eye Center. She takes Anthem to work two
days a week. Rick, an area safety manager for Homeland Security in Customs and Border Protection in
Los Angeles, takes Anthem with him the other days. Theyll train Anthem for up to 18 months before
sending him off to be assigned to a human partner in need of the dogs services. It never gets easy,
Rick says when asked if he ever had a problem letting a dog go. Its still a heartbreak to give them
back, but as much as I love them, he adds, it gives them a bigger purpose in life.
