Montecitos Cell Phone Coverage Conundrum
M
ontecitos 8,965 residents, like
those of other similar California
communities such as Rancho Santa
Fe, Woodside, Atherton, Hillsborough,
Woodside and Portola Valley, expect superior
cell phone coverage that is low-cost, efcient
and reliable. We need gigabyte-speed
broadband and high-speed data streaming
to enjoy the coming convergence of home
entertainment systems and the power of the
Internet. Fiber optics, cloud computing, video
conferencing we want it all. For better or
worse, cell phones have become the central
dashboard of our lives, and yet none of us
wants a nearby cell tower that might devalue
our residential real estate.
Cell phone coverage in Montecito is weak
to sometimes non-existent in the upper vil-
lage, near Westmont College, and traveling
west on 192 all the way to Foothill Road.
Coverage is about to get even weaker. On
December 31, AT&T Wireless will lose its
20-year cell tower master lease with QAD on
Ortega Hill, and Verizon Wireless will lose its
sublease on that same tower.
QAD inherited the tower lease when it
bought the Ortega Hill campus in 1992. Since
then, QAD has consistently communicated to
Verizon and AT&T that the lease will not be
renewed when it was due to expire in April
2012. Three extensions, totaling an addi-
tional eight months, have subsequently been
granted to allow further time for the carriers
to make alternate arrangements.
The Ortega Hill tower has been an ideal
site because of its imposing height above the
Sheffield interchange on the 101 and its unobstructed line of sight across the
upper village of Montecito and into our three remote canyons. In fact, the loca-
tion is so good that Montecito Fire uses the QAD location as its communication
hub to provide radio transmissions between fire trucks and emergency vehicles
in all of Montecitos many canyons. QAD has agreed to continue to provide
Montecito Fire with use of the QAD site for emergency services communica-
tions.
Upper Village Coverage
To replace the loss of its use of the QAD tower, Verizon wants to install a
low rooftop antenna at the Verizon Switching Station on Santa Angela Lane
just off East Valley Road, directly opposite El Montecito Early School with its
70 children, ages 2 to 5 years old. ElMo parents have threatened to remove
their children from the preschool program if that happens. A more accept-
able alternative might be to install a faux tree antenna at the rear of the 512
Santa Angela Lane facility to house both the existing AT&T rooftop antenna,
as well as a new Verizon antenna. These antennae would be located further
from the preschool children; they would be taller, and thereby safer for nearby
residents, especially children. If acceptable to nearby neighbors, this would
provide a partial solution for improved Verizon coverage in the upper village,
but it does not address the need for a long-term telecommunication strategy
for Montecito.
The Better Solution
One advantage of living in Montecito is that no matter what the issue, there is
no shortage of well-informed residents. Two of them stepped forward last week
to offer counsel on how to improve cellular communication in Montecito over
the long term.

One hundred years ago, Joyce Kilmer
famously penned that, Poems are made
by fools like me, but only God can make
a tree. Of course, he had no inkling of
what modern technology would or could
do; this faux eucalyptus encamped in
the heart of Montecito is actually a well-
disguised, completely manmade Verizon
cell phone antenna array.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Roy Jensen not So Old
Y
our paper published incorrect
information about Roland
Jensens age in Bob Hazards
column of 10/17. Mr. Jensen is 84,
and in four years he will be 88, not
91. As an editor, one would think
you would check facts and not allow
slander on the pages of a small-town
local newspaper, especially when Mr.
Jensen has lived his whole life in this
town. He deserves more respect from
your paper. A printed correction and
apology in the next issue would be
much appreciated.
Thank you,
Katherine Brittany Hedden
Montecito
(Editors note: Our apologies to Roy
Jensen and his wife, Clarice (Gibbe).
Roy is only four score and four years of
age, instead of four score and seven. Roy
was born on August 30, 1928 in Morris,
Minnesota. I was told he was 87, but a fact
check on Google confused Roy H. Jensen
of California with our Roy P. Jensen of
Minnesota. If re-elected, Roy will be 88
years young, instead of 91, when he com-
pletes his term. Roy has served honorably
for 41 years since first being appointed
to the Montecito Fire Board in August
1975. B.H.).

Factually Incorrect
Thanks for your reply to my recent
letter (Not Fair and Balanced, MJ #
18/42).
History confirms your statement
that President Clinton presided over
a government with a truly balanced
budget. Your claim that this was
due to a Republican budget produced
by the 1994 Republican House of
Representatives is factually incorrect.
In 1993, Clintons Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act was passed by
Congress with no Republican sup-
port. It cut taxes for 15 million low-
income families, made tax cuts avail-
able to 90% of small businesses, and
raised taxes on the wealthiest 1.2% of
taxpayers. It also planned spending
restraints to help balance the budget
over time. Deficit reduction began
in 1993 and it continued for all eight
years of Clintons Presidency, produc-
ing budget surpluses in 1998-2000.
You claim President Obama put
federal spending in hyper-drive and
this added nearly 5 trillion dollars to
the national debt. This narrative is
factually incorrect. Yes, budget defi-
cits increase our debt, however they
are the net result of both revenue and
spending. The main causes of our
increased debt in the last four years
were lost revenue due to the Bush
tax cuts and the 2008 financial col-
lapse; and spending on the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars, and on the federal
stimulus that prevented a full-scale
depression. Actually President Obama
has slowed the speed of federal spend-
ing increases, not put spending into
hyper-drive.
You claim the budget plans passed
by the current Republican House of
Representatives are common sense
proposals. Actually they have failed
to be adopted because Republicans,
in violation of their oath to serve the
American people, have sworn alle-
giance to Grover Norquists anti-tax
pledge. Their refusal to consider any
tax increases is an ideological dead
end. Every common sense bi-partisan
budget plan, for example Simpson-
Bowles, has proposed to use both rev-
enue and spending cuts to balance the
budget and reduce the deficit. Until
Republicans are willing to negotiate
a common sense budget including
both tax increases and spending cuts
our federal budgets will continue to
be dysfunctional due to their intran-
sigence.
Regards,
John D. Kelley
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: While I do enjoy the
give and take I really do its clear that
it is difficult to find common ground in
these turbulent times. During the first
two years of Clintons term in office, he
enjoyed a Democrat controlled House of
Representatives and a Democrat Senate.
All three portions of the executive and
legislative branches of government were
aligned. Clintons first budget 1993,
called for a $255 billion deficit; in 1994,
it was $203 billion and went down from
there, so Ill have to chalk that up as you
being (gulp) correct. But, during those
first two years of his presidency, Clinton
let go of his much publicized and prom-
ised middle-class tax cut so prevalent
during the campaign. Then he tried to
raise even more in taxes, and attempted
to introduce Hillary Care. The over-
stepping brought in the first Republican
House in forty years. While much credit
has been given to that Reconciliation
Act, it was Newt Gingrich and John
Kasich now governor of Ohio who
were the architects of the real balanced
budget agreement that Clinton, bless
his heart, signed on to and that led to
actual surpluses. That is the historical

tours, and even handle and present small
mammals, snakes and amphibians. Docents also assist with childrens programs,
special events, observational research and conservation activities.
No previous experience for Docents is required, but excellent communication
and interpersonal skills are a must. The process begins with flling out an online
application (www.sbzoo.org) and attending one of the November meetings.
Following that, candidates will receive the dates and times of the subsequent
orientation, interviews and an in-depth 8-week training beginning in January 2013.
Zoo Docents are asked to volunteer two hours per week for at least six months,
after completing their training. There are bi-monthly Brown Bag Docent lunches
featuring speakers from the Zoos animal care staff and special guests. Field trips
are taken to the locations of Zoo conservation programs and partnerships. For
teens, Community Service credit is available for their service. There is a one-time
fee of $100 for all Docents to cover training, educational and reference materials,
Docent vest, and nametag.

Jewelry Stolen from Hotel on Channel Drive
Friday, 19 October, 2:26 pm Deputy Messmore contacted a woman via
telephone regarding missing earrings. The woman was staying at a hotel on
Channel Drive, and said she left a pair of gold hoop earrings encircled with
diamonds in her hotel room while she attended a business meeting at the hotel.
She had left the earrings in a case containing other pieces of costume jewelry,
none of which were missing. A report was filed with the Sheriffs Department
and also with the security team at the hotel. An investigation is ongoing.
Bike Found by Montecito Firefighters
Saturday, 20 October, 11:33 am Deputy Messmore arrived at Montecito Fire
Protection Districts Station 1 to pick up a mountain bike. Fire personnel had
located the bike in the area of East Mountain and San Ysidro several weeks ago.
Because no one had come to the station to claim the bicycle, MFPD contacted
the Sheriffs Department to take the bike for safekeeping. MJ

ts that time again! On Wednesday,
October 31, costumed kids will
descend upon Coast Village Road
to trick-or-treat. Coast Village Business
Associations biggest event of the
year, Ghost Village Road, features
Halloween festivities all along the
business corridor.
Per tradition, Heres the Scoop own-
ers Bob and Ellie Patterson will host
a photo opportunity and costume con-
test, with the winners pictures dis-
played here in the Journal. The contest
is based on creativity and originality,
so purchased costumes will get short
shrift no matter how elaborate they
are. Homemade costumes are what
they are looking for, the Pattersons
say. Seasonal Worms n Dirt gelato
will be passed out to trick-or-treaters,
and the costume contest will be held
directly outside in front of the gela-
to shop at 1187 Coast Village Road.
Winners and honorable mentions
from the contest will receive gift cer-
tificates and coupons to Heres the
Scoop.
The Haunted House at Montecito
Inn is taking a one-year hiatus, says
hotel owner and CVBA president
Danny Copus. He promises the pop-
ular destination at the east end of
Ghost Village Road will return bigger
and better than ever next year. CVBA,
which organizes the annual event,
is working hard getting the groups
website up-and-running, Copus says.
Most shop owners will participate
in passing out candy and mingling
with Montecito and Santa Barbara
residents who will make their way
down the traffic-controlled street.

D
omestic Violence Solutions
(DVS) for Santa Barbara
County held its annual High
Esteem Tea at the Biltmore. The Loggia
Room looked beautiful with the tables
laid out in iridescent lavender cloths
centered with purple and red fowers
and a china teacup at each place to
take home.
Twas a beautiful setting for a horrif-
ic cause, domestic violence. President
Claudette Roehrig thanked her board
and the event co-chairs Suellen
Hilzer and Judy Egenolf. While we
nibbled on dainty sandwiches and
sipped tea, Claudette introduced the
guest speaker Victor Rivas Rivers, a
child advocate, author and actor but
led a tortured childhood because of
his abusive father.
As Victor said, Domestic violence
isnt just a womans issue. He, his
mom, siblings and pets were all beat-
en. One of the things he said hurt
worse than the beatings was when his
dad told him he was worthless and
Victor asked, What about all of these
baseball trophies? His dad took a bat
When the world is all at odds, and the mind is all at sea, Then cease the useless
tedium, and brew a cup of tea. There is magic in its fragrance. There is solace in its
taste, The laden moments vanish, somewhere into space. And the world becomes a lovely
thing! Theres beauty as you see, all because you briefly stopped, to have a cup of tea.

ran away from home at 15 but says,
My community saved me. Different
families took me in and told me I was
a good person.
Victor was able to get out of the
gang he was in, run for senior class
president and win. He has gone on
to a successful career in the movies
and since 1999 has been a leading
activist in the cause of preventing
violence against women and children

About 90% of the men in jail have
witnessed or were victims of violence.
Victor urges, We need to redefine
what makes a man and teach it to our
boys. The cycle can be broken.

Dreaming of Being Rockettes
Since they were little girls, my mom and her
sisters were always best friends. They spent
hours on their roller skates choreographing
routines and performing for the neighbors.
They dreamed of one day having their own
stage show.
Over the years, their dreams changed. They
each married and had children, but they always
remained close. Holidays and family dinners
were well orchestrated events, much like their
skating routines. Each would make a dish for
our elaborate meals with table decorations to
match. The night would not be complete without
songs and dancing around the piano.
I can see the loneliness in my moms eyes,
as my aunts are gone now. She has not been
herself since the loss of her best friends.

She seems depressed and does not leave her
home. She needs help with daily tasks: food
prep, housework and transportation. I want her
to have joy and companionship again.
If an elderly parent genuinely needs daily
assistance maybe theyre not independent
any more.
Please consider egis Living. We are the trusted
local senior care provider specializing in assisted
living and memory care. We offer the finest care,
given by the most committed staff. Come in for
a tour and lunch with your parent. Let them
experience our community filled with warmth
and new friends.

fun, they also do a lot of good for local businesses and nonprofitsas well as boost local spirit. Of course, there are
other ways a bank can support its communities. So Union Bank also commits millions of dollars and thousands of
volunteer hours to local philanthropic causes that support education, economic development, the environment,
the arts, human services, and more. Its the right thing to doafter all, its our home.

Malibu 90265 ranking 38 with an
average property price of $2,578,976.
Santa Barbara resident Larry
Ellison, as I reported in this illustri-
ous organ recently, just bought his
ninth home in the area, known for
its celebrities and wealthy residents,
splashing out $36.9 million for a three-
acre property, boasting a main house,
a guest residence and pavilion.
The zip code clearly gets the Oracle
billionaires stamp of approval....
No Gas Guzzlers Here
While most South Coast motor-
ists and business owners are paying
up to $5 a gallon for unleaded gas,
Montecitos David Sullins is forking
out less than $2 per gallon for most of
his fleet of a dozen vehicles.
Eight vans, trucks and sedans
belonging to David, who owns the
Peppers, a residential care home for
the elderly just a tiaras toss from
the homes of Drew Barrymore and
Law & Order producer Dick Wolf ,
are powered by compressed natural
gas, or CNG.
The fuel costs between $1.50 and
$1.95 a gallon, says David. It is
powerful and smooth running and
70 percent cleaner than gasoline, as
well as being clear, odorless and non-
corrosive.
Although vehicles can use natural
gas as either a liquid or gas, most
vehicles use the gaseous form com-
pressed to pressures of more than 3,100
pounds per square inch, according to
the California Energy Commission.
Unlike regular internal combus-
tion car engines that use unleaded
gasoline, CNG vehicles only need oil
changes about every 30,000 to 40,000
miles, compared to 3,000 miles with
normal cars and trucks.
David uses a fuel maker at his
Hot Springs estate to gas up his fleet,
as well as a downtown facility at the
Southern California Gas Company.
David bought his first CNG car, a
Dodge Caravan, in 2005 and says the
only downside is the lack of filling
stations.
If it catches on, there will be more.
And I think it will.
At far less than half the cost of nor-
mal fuel, how could it not?...
Oprahs Girls
Former talk show titan Oprah
Winfrey is not a mother herself, but
thanks to the first graduates of her
eponymous Leadership Academy for
Girls in South Africa, she says she
now gets it.
After handpicking 72 underprivi-
leged youngsters from shantytowns
five years ago, the 58-year-old TV
tycoon says she has been able to expe-
rience all the ups and downs of moth-
erhood.
Now, half a decade later, after imple-
menting the idea inspired by Nelson
Mandela, the girls are all in American
colleges.
What is the single life changing,
trajectory changing moment for me
was being exposed to a world of edu-
cation that offered me insight into how
I saw the world, and I just wanted to
do that for somebody else. Thats all.
According to Forbes, the longtime
Montecito resident has devoted $400
million to the girls education here and
abroad, building her original school in

Man & Woman
of the Year
It must be one of Santa Barbaras
oldest traditions the 70
th
Annual Man
& Woman of the Year Awards by the
Santa Barbara Foundation. The ter-
race of the Coral Casino was where
the large crowd gathered to mingle,
enjoy the waves and sunset and try to
guess who this years recipients of the
awards would be. Its a secret so the
families of the winners have to some-
how get the relatives there so it will be
a surprise. Its no surprise that there are
more non-profits per capita here (900 to
1,000) than anywhere in the state.
The Masters of Ceremonies were
KEYT-TV news anchor Paula Lopez
and president and CEO of Santa
Barbara Foundation Ron Gallo. Ron
thanked Alixe Mattingly and Susanne
Farwell for their work on the event.
Executive director of the Natural
History Museum Carl Hutterer
introduced Patty MacFarlane as the
Woman of the Year who responded,
This is a great place to live and raise
a family, which her husband, John,
and she are doing. They moved from
New York with their two sons in l994
and she hasnt stopped since.
Peter Karoff introduced the young-
est winner of all the honorees, Ken
Saxon. This is like getting recognized
for eating ice cream every day, John
replied. Wife, Jo, and twins came here
in 1996. John admitted, My wife con-
vinced me to come to Santa Barbara.
You were right, dear. He once told a
columnist, Some people move here
and want to engage, and other peo-
ple want to hide out and thats
fine but its awfully fun to engage.
As Ron said, Patty MacFarlane and
Ken Saxon are true volunteer leaders
whose selfless actions have inspired
many to do more to help others. It is
because of their efforts (and other vol-
unteers) that today we can all enjoy a
clean environment, a rich and vibrant
arts community and an intricate safety
net for all citizens young and old.
Volunteerism and philanthropy are
the most enduring and honorable
platforms for citizen engagement.
A few of those former recipients
attending were Barbara Tellefson,
Penny Jenkins, Jean Schuyler,
Nancyann Failing, Patricia Dow,
Maryan Schall, Jane Habermann, Dr.
Peter MacDougall, Marshall Rose,
Clifford Sponsel and Dr. Robert
Emmons.
The Santa Barbara Foundation was
established in 1928 to enrich the lives
of the people of Santa Barbara County
through philanthropy and they remain
stewards of that philosophy today.
Giving Wings
To Dreams
Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian
Center gives wings to dreams every
day. About 200 volunteers, support-
ers and fans gathered at Earl Warren
Showgrounds to attend the annual
Pegasus Luncheon. Hearts employs
the power of the horse to enhance
the capabilities of children and adults
with special needs.
The Equestrian Center is located in
Goleta, a scrap of landfill up the hill
above the Sheriff facilities and near
the dump but with miles of beautiful
trails. They will have to move in two
or three years as the County needs the
property back but Executive Director
Kirby Gillispie is looking for suitable
property and there will also be a capi-
tal campaign.
Emcee Thom Bateman opened the
program and introduced the chair and
founder of Hearts Veterans program,
Bruce Bennett. Suffering himself after
serving in the military, he found sol-
ace riding the horses. All veterans
can visit free of charge. It began three
years ago with four riders and now
there are 12. Another veteran Sean Di
Ciolli told us, I didnt know a thing
about horses. He learned, healed and
is a staunch supporter.
Hearts volunteer and young teen
Alissa Kruidenier became involved
at age 11 when she sold her horse
shed outgrown to Hearts and made a
donation. At age 15, she needed com-
munity service hours and went back
to see her horse, becoming committed
when as she said, I saw children who
never smiled, laugh. I got as much
therapy as any rider.

EDITORIAL (Continued from page 5)
Craig McCaw, founder of McCaw
Cellular, which he sold to AT&T in
1994, when the company was re-
named AT&T Wireless and became
the nations largest wireless carrier. In
1999, Craig formed Nextel Partners,
later acquired by Sprint Nextel. In
2004, McCaw founded Clearwire
Corporation, a provider of wireless
broadband Internet services. The
intent was to create the fastest and
most capable broadband wireless net-
works ever conceived, offering the
opportunity to return the U.S. to a
leadership position in the global wire-
less industry. Craig McCaw is a full-
time resident of Montecito and lives
on East Valley Road. He has offered to
share his communications expertise.
William Bill Esrey, former man-
aging director of Dillon Read & Co.
in New York became president, CEO
and chair of Sprint, a multibillion-
dollar international company. He was
named by Business Week as one of the
top 25 business leaders in the world.
We are twice blessed to have McCaw
and Esrey step forward to help the
Montecito community address a per-
plexing community problem.
Both Craig McCaw and Bill Esrey
suggest that a Radio Frequency (RF)
engineered solution is preferable to
approving individual carrier applica-
tions that are dribbled out haphazard-
ly. They note that an organized num-
ber of smaller, lower power antennae
in Montecito would work better than
one or more larger, higher power,
antennae. Low power antennae cover
shorter distances, but emit less over-
all radiation. The longer the distance
between the tower and the cell phone
user, the higher the power needed.
Because cell transmission is two-way,
individual cell phone handsets have
to increase power outage exponen-
tially to communicate back to faraway
towers, increasing the radiation risk to
the cell phone user.
To service the 192 corridor,
Montecito might be better served with
three lower power antennae disguised
as trees. For example, one could be on
Ortega Ridge Road near East Valley
Road at the jointly-owned water res-
ervoir; a second in the upper village of
Montecito; and a third somewhere on
the 111-acre Westmont campus.
Similarly, to service central
Montecito and the coastal zone, a
coordinated plan of multiple antennae
is preferable to individual carrier deci-
sions. The guiding principle should be
that any cell tower location would be
available to any carrier such as AT&T,
Cingular, Nextel, Sprint, T-Mobile or
Verizon, willing to pay the lease pay-
ments, with no single carrier gaining
a competitive advantage. To some,
this smaller, lower power antennae
approach may seem like overkill, but
the explosion in demand and the need
for greater speed and more reliable
connectivity creates a requirement for
substantially more community capac-
ity.
Whats The next Step?
Volunteer citizens can only go so far
in suggesting a broad-based commu-
nity solution; the way to bring the com-
munity together is to create a fact-based
plan, and then build bottom-up consen-
sus to overcome myriad legitimate (and
sometimes illegitimate) objections. On
this contentious issue, expect rational
and irrational responses from affected
residents.
Montecito has two choices:
1) Allow the County Board of
Supervisors to deny an appellant appeal
and approve the Verizon request for a
rooftop antenna at 514 Santa Angela
Lane across from El Montecito Early
School. Then, sit back and wait for
the next cell tower application, or an

2) Take the tougher road. Take
ownership of solving the problem of
delivering seamless, high-quality tele-
communications, while educating the
community regarding safety concerns.
Ask Supervisor Salud Carbajal to
appoint Michael Cooney, chair of the
Montecito Planning Commission, and
Sue Burrows, chair of the Montecito
Planning Commission, on behalf of
County government, to work with
Craig McCaw, Bill Esrey and Computer
Engineering experts at UCSB to craft
a broader telecommunication solution
for Montecito.
Engineering an optimum cell
phone system is like playing three-
dimensional chess. The first step is to
engage UCSB to help design an engi-
neering model for Montecito based
on its topography and future needs
in cell coverage, broadband services,
cloud computing and high-speed data
streaming, and to identify optimum
sites for consideration. The resulting
UCSB approach would serve as a
rational model for concerned com-
munities in Santa Barbara County
that prefer a holistic approach, where
the totality is greater than the sum of
its parts.
Explore Additional
Opportunities
Longer range, a UCSB engineering
study could explore other Montecito
issues and possible solutions. Radiation
along East Valley Road from overhead
high voltage electrical lines that are
50 years old, may be more dangerous
than cell phone emissions. Our tele-
phone poles are littered with power
lines, Cox Cable lines, hard-wired tele-
phone lines, and transformers that cre-
ate a dogs breakfast of old equipment,
aesthetic ugliness, and rotting poles.
Is it possible that the widening of the
101 presents a opportunity to reroute
transmission lines away from Route
192 into giant culverts along the 101,
moving this community closer to its
dream of undergrounding as much of
Montecitos overhead mess as possible?
Supervisor Carbajal, we ask you
to step up for your constituents by
arranging a joint meeting with plan-
ning leaders Michael Cooney and Sue
Burrows, Professor Jerry Gibson, PhD.,
Communications & Signal Processing
for Wireless Communications at UCSB,
and/or Professor Ron Litis, PhD.,
Wireless Networks at UCSB, and
Industry leaders and Montecito residents
Craig McCaw and Bill Esrey to explore a
planned solution for Montecito. MJ

Symphony Starts in Style
Santa Barbara Symphony kicked off
its 60th season in splendid style at the
Granada.
Conductor Nir Kabaretti was in
fine form as he took his talented musi-
cians through a thoroughly entertain-
ing program featuring major works
by Beethoven and Rachmaninoff, and
a ten-minute piece Santa Barbara
Overture written by 84-year-old
Emma Lou Diemer, the symphonys
former composer-in-residence, who
was in the sold-out audience.
Beethovens glorious Symphony
No. 5 in C minor immediately struck
an appropriate chord, but was just
an appetizer for what was to come
with Rachmaninoffs Piano Concerto
No. 2 in C minor played impeccably
by international keyboardist Andre
Watts.
Watts, who has played for European
royalty and heads of state worldwide,
took the romantic work, famous for
its soaring melodies, as his own, well
earning his lengthy standing ovation.
Afterwards the stage was cleared
to host a party to mark the six decade
birthday in extravagant style with
guests including executive director
David Grossman, new president

BOOK TALK
by Shelly Lowenkopf
All in the Family
Shelly Lowenkopf blogs
@ www.lowenkopf.com.
He has held executive
editorial positions with
literary, scholarly, general
trade and massmarket
book publishers. His latest
book is The Fiction Writers
Handbook.
L
ouise Erdrich, not yet sixty,
has published fourteen novels,
a collection of short stories,
three books of poetry, two works of
nonfction, and six titles for children.
A year in which there is no new title
from her is as remarkable in its own
way as a year such as this one, where
her new title, The Round House, has
appeared.
Most of Erdrichs books have the
same setting, a fictionalized swath of
North Dakota, in many ways similar
to William Faulkners Yoknapatawpha
County of Mississippi. Erdrich coun-
try is Indian Reservation country, with
such Indian locales as Hoopdance,
stashed between White cities and
towns, such as Argus and Pluto, like
unmatched socks in a spare drawer.
No matter which of her novels you
have at hand, as you read her meticu-
lous, bead-work-on-a-moccasin prose,
you feel the vague tug of familiarity
with places, events, and characters.
Take Joe, the thirteen-year-old prin-
cipal narrator of The Round House. He
is the son of Antone Bazil Coutts, a
tribal judge, who was a narrator in The
Plague of Doves. Speaking of which,
the principal, defining moment of that
novel emerges like a ghostly appari-
tion when Joe and three of his friends
are sneaking through a cemetery in
this novel, in search of evidence relat-
ed to the defining dramatic force of
The Round House.
Many of Erdrichs narratives appear
to be bolts of a richly textured cloth,
snipped at convenient lengths for dra-
matic effect. The defining event for
this novel becomes apparent straight-
away, when Geraldine Coutts, Joes
mother, a tribal enrollment specialist,
goes missing.
Joe is narrating the story to us in
retrospect, taking us back to the time
a Sunday afternoon in the Spring of
1988 when his father verbalizes the
seemingly small matter: Where is
your mother? and both of them real-
ize how Geraldine Coutts absence has
stopped time for them (and us).
We soon discover Geraldine has
received a phone call from a mysteri-
ous source, requesting a meeting at
the tribal ceremonial building, The
Roundhouse of the title. What hap-
pens to Geraldine, of monumental
importance, happens straightaway
with downstream thematic implica-
tions, thus not a spoiler: She is beaten
and raped.
All the cards are in place: the legal
background, the checkerboard land-
scape, raising the issue of which entity,
tribal, federal, or local, has the author-
ity to pursue justice in the matter, and
the shattering effect of the attack on
Geraldine and her family. Joes urgent
transformation, reminiscent of anoth-
er thirteen year old who decided to
help a runaway slave escape, becomes
the lens through which we witness
the jurisdictional and personal battles
being waged.
With his closest friends, Cappy,
Angus, and Zack, his mind filled with
the often ironic laws from his fathers
case books, Joe sets out on a different
kind of vision quest from his clan-
based Indian heritage. He has vowed
to discover who attacked his mother
and bring that individual to justice
while doing such as he can to restore
the senses of continuity and natu-
ral evolution to his immediate and
extended family.
Joes frustrations are as plentiful as
ants at a picnic. They appear in the
form of a Catholic priest as a poten-
tial suspect, his mothers sinking into
melancholia, and the impossible-to-
rationalize matter of which set of laws
Indian, Federal, State, or local
relate to the justice Joe seeks. With
all my being, Joe reports, I wanted
to go back to before all this had hap-
pened. I wanted to enter our good-
smelling kitchen again, sit down at my
mothers table before shed struck me
and before my father had forgotten
my existence.
Joe is a reliable, trustworthy nar-
rator, one whom we follow with
eagerness as he consults Indian and
White sources. He performs intel-
ligent detective work, and develops
viable clues from rational and cul-
tural sources, one of which leads
him to a wooden lakeside pier, at the
bottom of which, he finds a childs
doll floating in the water. On investi-
gation, Joe discovers the doll is filled
with hundred-dollar bills, enough,
his aunt advises him, to pay for his
college education.
Whether Erdrich intended some of
the drawable thematic conclusions set
in motion in The Roundhouse, is a mat-
ter of conjecture, but those who follow
her fiction cannot escape the deep
sense of being immersed in a living
myth. MJ

O
n Day Three of our Canadian
adventure, we decided to visit
the countryside. Samantha,
the portable GPS that our friends
Gilles and Rachel left for us, asked if
I wanted to go in circles like the last
time I drove or head right there.
Directement! I told her.
Parfait! she said. Now, you could
start the car sil vous plait?
Three miles north of Qubec City
we came to the beautiful almond-
shaped Ile dOrleans. Many French
Canadians can trace their ancestry to
early residents of this island, my wife
informed me. Cartier explored here.
Champlain. And General Wolfe was
here at the beginning of the seven-
year war. Only 10 am and I had
already learned a lot of stuff. That
meant I could write the trip off. Nice.
Route 138 circles the 67-kilometer
perimeter of the island, so Samantha
realized that even I probably couldnt
get lost and she quickly nodded off.
Did you know that GPSs snore?
Thats your stomach growling,
my wife said.
Guess Ive worn off that croissant
we had for breakfast. Seems like hours
ago.
It was forty-five minutes ago and it
was four croissants and a latte the size
of a birdbath.
Must be all the farmhouses, I said.
And the rolling fields and pastures.
I think I see an apple orchard and...
Ciderie!
I quickly turned down a dirt road,
bouncing past ducks, chickens, sheep
and fruit trees and pulled up to a
building. Ill bet they have tastings.
Sacr Bleu! I heard in unison from
Samantha and my wife.
I tried tons of homemade relishes,
jellies, jams and different ciders until
the owner finally said: Fin! When I
got back outside, my wife was behind
the wheel and the drivers side door
was locked. That was fine with me.
I got to take lots of photos of beauti-
ful autumn trees that lined the placid
Saint Lawrence River. Such a peaceful
place...
Manoir Mauvide-Genest! my wife
yelled and whipped into a parking lot.
How in the world have you two
lived this long? Samantha the GPS
asked, as she fell to the floor.
Manoir Mauvide-Genest looked like
a house, but it had a plaque outside,
so I knew it would turn out to be a
museum.
This is a rare example of an eigh-
teenth century seigneurial residence,
my wife read from one of her three
guidebooks. The seigneurial system
was introduced to New France in 1627
by Cardinal Richelieu. The lands were
arranged in long narrow strips along
the banks of the St. Lawrence River
called seigneuries. Each one belonged
to the king of France and was main-
tained by the landlord, or seigneur,
who brought in more French people
to farm it and colonize. Exciting huh?
Think they serve snacks?
They didnt, so after learning more
about Jean Mauvide and his wife
Marie-Anne Genest than their descen-
dants probably know, we continued
our circumnavigation until we got
back to the bridge. Look. A water-
fall!
This time Samantha threw herself
onto the floor as I accelerated and my
wife flipped through her guidebook
faster than a card dealer shuffles.

than Niagara and it says you can walk
across it.

bridge right over the top of the falls.
On it there were enough people to
start New France II.
You go out to the middle, I said.
Lean over and get a photo looking
straight down. The grandkids will
love it. My wife said something that
was hard to hear over the roar of
water, which is probably good.
Eventually we mustered the cour-
age to cross. Is it swaying? Do you
feel swaying? I think its swaying.
Keep walking so I dont have to
open my eyes.
Pardon Monsieur, a six-year-old
said as he ran by.
No running! This thing could go
any minute!
Somehow we made it to the other
side, breathed, and walked through
some beautiful woods until we came
to a steep staircase that lead to the foot
of the falls on the side opposite from
where the car was parked.
Now what? my wife asked.
We take a photo for our memorial
service, head back over Bridge from a
Survivor episode, then we find lunch
and alcoholic beverages.
Oui! Rapide! my wife said. MJ

Origins: A Biologist and a Biblical Scholar
Discuss Genesis and Scientific Accounts
Tremper Longman III, Robert Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies
Jeff Schloss, Distinguished Professor of Biology and T.B. Walker Professor
in the Behavioral and Natural Sciences
5:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 8, 2012
University Club, 1332 Santa Barbara Street
Free and open to the public. Seating is limited. Call 565-6051 for information.
No topic in the relationship between science and
religion has generated more prominent public attention
and heated intellectual debate than creation/evolution,
particularly the issue of scientific and biblical
accounts of human origins. Someboth theists and
atheists assert that we must choose between
evolution and the Christian faith. Others claim there
is no conflict or even any significant overlap between the two. Still others think
there is both deep concord and also some tensions, depending on the issue and how
we interpret the science and the scriptures. Jeff Schloss, a biologist, and Tremper
Longman, a biblical scholar, will explore a range of issues in the relationship between
Genesis and science.

E
very year, the United States
Social Security Administration
is supposed to send you
an estimated benefts statement.
It is called Your Social Security
Statement and contains a good deal
of information, most importantly an
estimate of the monthly retirement
beneft you will receive as early as age
62. Parts of it are actually entertaining.
For example, on the third page I found
my Earnings Record. It shows for
1979, my sophomore year in high
school, reportable earnings of $414.
The statement also contains very
serious information that I want to
bring to your attention. In my 2011
statement, the seventh paragraph on
the first page reads, In 2016 we will
begin paying more in benefits than
we collect in taxes. Without changes,
by 2037 the Social Security Trust Fund
will be exhausted and there will be
enough money to pay only about 76
cents for each dollar of scheduled
benefits.
Recently, I was reviewing a clients
2012 benefit statement, and I real-
ized that it did not contain the sen-
tence, In 2016 we will begin paying
more in benefits than we collect in
taxes. Why? Because in 2012 we have
already reached the point at which
benefits being paid exceed taxes col-
lected.
Not to worry, the Trust Fund, we are
told, has approximately $2.7 trillion.
With this pot of money and current
taxes collected, the government has
enough money to pay all promised
benefits until 2037, right?
Wrong. The $2.7 trillion Social Security
Trust Fund holds no real assets. It is an
accounting gimmick. The money is gone.
Here is what happened. Since 1937,
when the Social Security program
began operating, it ran deficits in
14 years, eight from 1975 through
1983. After the Reagan administra-
tion raised the Social Security tax-
withholding rate to erase the deficit,
the program began realizing surplus-
es. From 1983 until 2010, the Social
Security Trust Fund had benefit claims
of about 85 cents for every dollar col-
lected in taxes. The 15-cent surplus
from each dollar collected was sup-
posed to go into the Trust Fund. All
the surpluses plus interest credited to
the Trust Fund equals $2.7 trillion.
The Trust Fund holds special
issue bonds. They are essentially an
IOU from the government because
the 15-cent surplus on each dollar
collected through taxes for nearly 30
years never actually went into the
Trust Fund. Instead, the government
spent the surplus on other programs.
Think of it this way. Every Friday
assume I put $150 into a piggybank on
my kitchen counter. On Saturdays, my
7-year-old son takes the $150, spends
it on candy and toys, and scrawls on
a piece of paper, Special Purpose
IOU; thanks Dad. After four weeks,
I believe I have saved $600 for gro-
ceries. I reach into the bank, take the
IOUs and head to my local Trader
Joes. At the checkout stand, I hand
the slips of paper to the cashier, who
looks at me quizzically, then requests
cash, a check or a credit card. I exit the
store hungry without food.
Essentially, the Trust Fund is noth-
ing but a record of how much money
the government has borrowed from
current and future recipients. At a
minimum, there is a gross misrep-
resentation to the public about the
solvency of this program by the Social
Security Administration.
According to statistics from the
Social Security Administration, if 2010
recipients relied solely on the Social
Security tax collected for their ben-
efits, they would have received only
93 percent of what they received in
2009 a 7% decrease in benefits.
So its clear this is not a problem
thats waiting until 2037. Its a prob-
lem today.
For financial planning purposes,
you must consider this information.
If you have calculated full Social
Security benefits into your retirement
projections, you should also factor in
an alternative scenario with reduced
benefits. MJ
Essentially, the Trust Fund
is nothing but a record
of how much money the
government has borrowed
from current and future
recipients

Montecito Diary
by Ann Pieramici
Crane Country Fair
M
ontecito will be going a
little bit country on Sunday,
October 28 when Crane
Schools Annual Country Fair returns,
embracing an old-fashioned country
farm theme. For the 19
th
consecutive
year, the schools felds become a
playground for adults and children
of all ages. This year promises to be
especially lively with chickens, owls,
goats and even a mini-horse roaming
the grounds.
Ali Oshinsky, who chairs the
Country Fair for the third year in a
row, says the farm theme was inspired
by the schools twelve resident chick-
ens who are beloved members of the
Crane family. Anne Dascomb, assis-
tant to the head of school, brought
the chickens to campus last year
when she created Cranes afterschool
Discoveries Chicken Farming pro-
gram, now among the most popular
Lower School enrichment offerings
at Crane.
In addition to the chickens, a vul-
ture, hawk, falcon and owls will
make an appearance, thanks to the
Ojai Raptor Center, which will be
leading two 30-minute presentations
beginning at 1:30 pm on exotic preda-
tory birds. A petting zoo featuring
ducks, goats, sheep an alpaca and
mini-horse will be open all day.
Other new attractions this year
include a photo booth, glitter tattoos
and an expanded bake-off contest
seeking the best brownie, gluten-free,
quiche and crumble recipes from
adults and the winning chocolate
chip cookie and cupcake submissions
from kids. Montecito Journals own
Kelly Mahan serves as a judge.
Baked goods, homemade jams,
olive oil and more will be sold at the
Country Kitchen, which is going even
greener this year, foregoing individu-
al wrappers for bakery boxes that
reduce waste. The school is partner-
ing with Green Project Consultants,
a Santa Barbara-based company that
provides the products and consulta-
tion to execute sustainable events.
In the spirit of going green, Crane
is recycling all the old fair favorites,
including the cake walk, giant slide,
football toss, dunk tank, coyote cub
corner, arts and crafts, book bazaar,
live music and Big Daddys BBQ.
When asked what keeps Oshinsky
chairing the fair for three years
running, she laughed, Im crazy,
but then quickly added, My job is
really the easy one, explaining that
it requires the involvement of just
about every family at the school to
pull off the event. I feel like the
Country Fair shows Crane at its abso-
lute finest with parents, students, and
grandparents pitching in to make it a
fun day for all.
You can feel the warmth and
excitement the minute you step on
the fields, said co-chair Darcie
McKnight, who along with Tiffany
Gordon are co-chairing for the sec-
ond year in a row. Its the kind of
event that just draws you in and you
want to be a part of it, says Gordon,
whose son, Jack, created artwork
that inspired the logo for this years
theme.
The fair really personifies the spir-
it of the school, claims headmaster
Joel Weiss. We like to have fun here,
we enjoy being together as a com-
munity, but we also work hard. And
this wonderful day could not happen
without the hard work and dedica-
tion of practically every family at the
school.
The Crane Country Fair is free and
open to the entire community, taking
place on Sunday, October 28 from 10
am 3 pm at 1795 San Leandro Lane.
Event and raffle tickets can be pur-
chased on site. For more information,
visit www.craneschool.org. MJ

the Alumnus of the Year.
Gaede, who served 10 years at
Westmont as provost (1996-2001)
and president (2001-2006), is scholar-
in-residence at Gordon College and
president of the Christian College
Consortium. He has written seven
books, including, An Incomplete Guide
to the Rest of Your Life, When Tolerance is
No Virtue, Life in the Slow Lane and For
All Who Have Been Forsaken.
Professor Emeritus Robert Gundry,
scholar in residence at Westmont,
speaks in the chapel Friday, October
26, at 10:30 am about the colleges
motto: Christ holding preeminence.
Westmont alumni will bring their
children and grandchildren for the
celebration that includes an old-fash-
ioned family carnival, picnic, carni-
val games, a climbing wall, a bounce
house, inflatable obstacle course, face
painting, airbrush tattoos, a balloon
artist and photo booth. New this year,
children will showcase their artis-
tic talent in the first-ever Kids Draw
Westmont.
The Warrior Derby 3K run through
campus is Saturday, October 27, at 9
am. The Warrior baseball team will
battle Westmont alumni October 27 at
1 pm on Carr Field.
Former Westmont chaplain Bart
Tarman will preach and Dave Talbott
64 will lead music at a worship ser-
vice on Sunday, October 28, at 10 am
in Page Multipurpose Room.
Thomas Brings Laughs
with Much Ado
As part of the colleges 75th anniver-
sary celebration, Westmont Festival
Theatre features the work of seven
alumni in William Shakespeares
Much Ado About Nothing October 26
at 8:30 pm, October 27 at 2 pm and
8 pm and November 1-3 at 8 pm, all
in Westmonts Porter Theatre. Tickets
are $7 for students and seniors, $10 for
adults, and can be purchased online at
www.westmont.edu/boxoffice or by
calling (805) 565-7140.
Award-winning director Mitchell
Thomas says Much Ado is his
favorite Shakespearean comedy, and
hes wanted to direct it for some time.
Whenever I tell people that I am
directing Much Ado, they say, Oh! I
love that play! he says. I love it too.
There is always a bit of pressure when
directing something from the canon,
but whats remarkable is how fresh,
funny and modern the play feels in
the rehearsal room. Expectations fall
away and we just get to revel in the
opportunity to work on a very, very
good play.
The alumni design/production team
includes: Jonathan Hicks 04 (lighting
design), Elizabeth Hess 97 (drama-
turgy), Lynne Martens 08 (costume
design), Cameron Squire 05 (pro-
duction management/technical direc-
tion), Gregory Wadsworth 06 (com-
poser/sound design), Leah Benson
08 (choreography), and Ben Johnson
11 (art design). All of the alumni
have gone on to graduate school or
professional careers in their respective
areas, and were very excited to show-
case their work for our community
and to have them interact with our
current students, Thomas says.
The play is set on the idyllic coast
of Italy at the turn of the century on a
winemakers seaside estate. It will be
a beautifully designed show that we
hope gets at the heart of the romance,
danger, passion, farce and love that
this play contains, he says. Much
Ado is a riotously funny, beautiful
and challenging play and I am grate-
ful to get to work on it and share it
with our audiences.
Teen Voices to

Fall Choral Festival Friday, October 26,
at 3:45 pm in First United Methodist
Church, 305 East Anapamu Street,

Mini Musical Premiere
Junior Ben Offringa and sopho-
more Jake Elliott have written and
composed The Opera of the Elements,
which they will premiere during
Opera Scenes on Sunday, October 28,
at 8 pm in Westmonts Deane Chapel.
The performance, part of the Musical
Drama Workshop, will include opera
arias, duets and Broadway songs. It is
free and open to the public.
The cast includes sopranos Brianna
Stutzman, Emmalee Wetzel, Wendy
Kent, Rebecca Hawkins, Nichole
Adrain, mezzo-soprano Julee Felts,
tenor Ryan Morgan and bass Even
Ewert.
Last spring, Offringa and Elliott
began writing an operetta, a one-
act performance in opera style, but
the piece has evolved into a one-act
musical, flowing between song, nar-
ration and dialogue. The Opera of the
Elements is an interpretation of the ele-
ments relationship with humans and
with God, Elliott says. We do not
intend to leave our audience with any
environmental or theological argu-
ment, but rather to entertain them
with a tale in which the elements are
personified characters. This musical is
a tale of revolution gone wrong.
Offringa starred in The Servant of
Two Masters during his first year at
Westmont and has gone on to per-
form in I Love You, Youre Perfect, Now
Change, 33 Swoons, Animal Farm, and
The Heather, which was composed by
Elliott.
Elliott, who has focused his col-
lege studies on music composition,
starred in San Marcos High School
Performing Arts Departments Damn
Yankees, Grease and Me and My Girl. He
is a percussionist with the Westmont
Worship Team.
The Music Drama Workshop is
taught by adjunct professor Celeste
Tavera, a Metropolitan Opera National
Council winner who has taught a vari-
ety of opera scenes and Broadway
musicals for the past five years for the
class. For more information, please
contact Trinity Schwartz at (805) 565-
6040.
Golfers Collaborate
at Stick, Disc Tourney
Golfers and disc golfers will play
together at the Montecito Country
Club for the 5th annual William
Wiersma Golf and Disc Tournament
on Monday, October 29, begin-
ning at 1 pm. The tournament ben-
efits the William Wiersma Memorial
Scholarship Endowment at Westmont.
Wiersma graduated from Westmont
in 2006 after spending his senior year
studying at Oxford University. He
was killed in a car accident in October
2006 while returning from an Ultimate
Frisbee tournament in Phoenix. The fol-
lowing year, the Wiersmas established
a scholarship to honor the principles of
collaboration for which Will stood.
The whole idea is to raise scholar-
ship money by getting as many people
as possible, all collaborating on the
course at the same time, says Tom
Wiersma, Wills father. Having fun
while playing stick or disc golf or
as some like to do playing stick and
disc golf.

tournament, please visit willstourney.

fact. I watched it all unfold, much of it
on C-Span.
A simple question: the so-called worst
recession since the Great Depression I
do remember Democrats calling George
Bush Sr.s economy the worst since the
Great Depression, but I digress official-
ly ended in June 2009, barely five months
into Mr. Obamas presidency. Very little
of the stimulus had even been allocated
let alone spent. If the recession was already
over, what the heck has all this spending
been about?
Its easy to note that President
Obama has slowed the speed of federal
spending increases, and you are again
correct, at least semantically. By using
the trick of exploding spending by
nearly $1 trillion in his first budget,
and then using that new spending as
a floor in the following budgets, one
could make the case that the percent-
age rise in spending has been slower,
but in actual numbers, U.S. spending
remains in hyper-drive.
I might as well add this last point: most
of us can see how skewed the tax sys-
tem has become, much of it favoring the
well off. Romneys suggestion of capping
deductions at a dollar figure while lower-
ing rates across the board seems not only
brilliant, but also doable. Its a bi-partisan
and simple solution to what has been a
contentious problem. It is also something
Democrats and Republicans can probably
agree on. J.B.)
Partisan Preferences
I read with interest John D. Kelleys
letter about the partisan preferenc-
es he alleges that you employ in the
selection of which letters to the editor
you will actually publish.
I, too, am disappointed in tired
partisan rhetoric and editorial malar-
key.
Certainly, most of the mainstream
media could hardly be described as
a left wing echo chamber, echo
chamber, echo chamber, echo
chamber.
How is it, then, that the Montecito
Journal is unable to achieve the innate
editorial impartiality exhibited by the
Los Angeles Times, The New York Times,
ABC News, CBS News, NBC News,
CNN News, MSNBC News, Newsweek
magazine, the Huffington Post and Al
Gores much-watched network?
Why cant the Montecito Journal pro-
vide the journalistic integrity of Al
Sharpton?
Why cant MJ provide the journalis-
tic unbiased, balanced presentation of
Chris Matthews?
Why cant MJ provide the jour-
nalistic even-handedness of Rachel
Maddow?
Why cant MJ provide the journalis-
tic un-slanted acumen of the darling
ladies of The View?
Why cant MJ provide the journal-
istic steadiness of Keith Olbermann?
istic fairness of Paul Krugman?
nalistic fact-checking interventionist
quality of Candy Crowley?
nalistic expertise and heft of Nancy
ODell?
istic wisdom of Soledad OBrien?
istic probity of Nora ODonnell?
Finally, where are all the letters
of protest from your female readers
about the war on women? After all, for
the better part of one year, President
Obama has portrayed women as a
monolithic, Stepford Wives type of
group that is interested only in abor-
tion and contraception. Where is
the outrage? Where is the Montecito
chapter of the National Organization
for Women?
Why, if George Bush portrayed
women in this narrow, sexist, and
unflattering manner, you know what
would be hitting the journalistic fan.

While Theres
Still Time
Not only Montecito, not only the
County, but the Central Coast as
well, all recognize the Montecito
Fire District as the high-bar, go-to,
fall-back capability in an emer-
gency. For more than fifteen years,
the Montecito Community Plan
has included a third fire station to
anchor the east third of Montecito
and to support the other two. For
three years (since 2009), there has
been a search for a location.
Today, we are dependent upon the
time-space convenience of the City
of Santa Barbara, with a minimum of
two months notice, our firefighters
can train on the Citys tower. We need
our own independent training facility.
We cannot afford to have our firefight-
ers away when crisis strikes.
When not if a big fire strikes in,
say, 2015 and our Montecito growth
extends what if then, because we
have not planned in advance
there is more than a five-minute
response time?...
there is too thin a line of firefight-
ers?...
there is insufficient equipment?
We will want to know the names of
those who opposed the third station in
2012 when we had time.

Well, Hello Dolly and
Saving Ryans Privates
Where to start?
In Dolly Granatellis letter (Hes
Got No Clothes On! MJ # 18/41),
she suggests we Look for Ryan to
make a fool of Biden. Oh, really? I
will give credit for his warning us
ahead of time that he anticipated Joe
Biden would steamroll him. Low
expectations and a dose of pity. Good
move. Dan Quayle returns.
My real question is when did you
and Andy Granatelli take a right-
hand turn to Rush Limbaugh land?
I raised my kids in Canton, Ohio,
the home of football and racing cars.
Our heroes were football coach Paul
Brown and an Illinois grease monkey
named Andy.
Trips to Indy 500 time trials, parked
the RV on the infield. Never missed a
Browns home game.
Hard to visualize Andy wearing
lime green slacks as he lines up his
putt at the Montecito Country Club.
Or sharing a cup of tea with his pinky
extended. Im sure that the Granatelli
brothers are shaking their heads in
amazement!
I am a registered Republican, but
the prospect of Mr. Ryan being a
heartbeat away from the presidency
gives me the creeps.
So, talk Andy into throwing his hat
into the political ring. Ill even volun-
teer to stuff envelopes.
Lets get people who made it on their
own and keep the Michael Huffington
types in Hollywood.

not Doing Their Job
I had a theft at my home in Montecito;
the items stolen were worth $20,000. I
called to report the incident and the
Sheriffs Department sent an officer
out immediately to investigate and
make a report. The officer told me
detectives would be working on my
case and they would get back to me.
Two weeks later, after calling them
several times to check on my case, I
was told that in fact they had decided
not to look into the theft at my home.
They said they dont have the time or
the people to help me; they are short-
handed.
In fact, I was told to look into it
myself and check the pawnshops and
interview the people I thought may
have been responsible myself. Call us
if you find anything.
Really?
They are too short-handed to even
send me a copy of my case?
I am shocked and disappointed. We
pay huge amounts of Santa Barbara
County property tax and California
employment taxes. We moved here
five years ago. We expected greater
service from this special community.
What this has taught me is this:
people should know that local law
enforcement may not be there when
they are most needed.

Perks and Days Off
Sometime back, a fireman from the
Montecito Fire Department was rid-
ing his dirt bike over in Santa Ynez
on a day off and flipped it, hurt him-
self rather badly, and soon was on
disability retirement courtesy of the
Montecito community. He has recov-
ered and now flies as a commercial
pilot. I suspect he still collects disabil-
ity retirement, but that would be an
interesting question to pursue.
I was discussing this with some
friends and the examples of this kind
of abuse seemed to just pour out.
One such example was that nearing
retirement, all collected perks, days
off, etc., go into the total and then,
if one can, one goes onto stress dis-
ability retirement which is mostly tax
free. Examples of retirement income
of 120% of base salary were noted.
Multiply that by several and soon
the retirement line item in the overall
departmental budget becomes impres-
sive.
Dr. Edo McGowan
Montecito
(Editors note: While we probably can-
not ascertain whether or not the firefighter
you refer to remains on disability while
operating as a commercial pilot, there is
no question that public sector unions have
really done a job on taxpayers, especially
here in California J.B.)
Why Are You Here?
Given the intense political discus-
sions going on all over the coun-
try at the moment, perhaps it would
behoove us to take a moment to ask
ourselves why we are here. By here I
mean in the United States of America.
I exclude from this discussion Native
Americans and those whose ancestors
were brought here in chains. Those of
us who were born in another country,
perhaps, require less reflection upon
the subject than those of us who are a
generation or more removed from the
decision to pull up roots and to relo-
cate to a new and strange place.
Most of us are blessed to live in
this prosperous and developed place
because our ancestors made difficult
and, in many cases, dangerous deci-
sions to take long and life-threatening
journeys to a land that offered them
no social safety net and no guaranty of
success or even of a meal. If they came
more than a couple of generations
ago, they did not come to a developed
country and many who came had to
endure and overcome intense hard-
ship and discrimination. And yet they
came. Why? They came for opportu-
nity. For the opportunity to strive and,
if successful, to succeed and, upon
succeeding, for the opportunity to
keep the fruits of their success rather
than having the entrenched powers
in their home countries take their
profits, however small, from them.
Even the wealthy and educated from
other countries have migrated here,
not because they cant live well and
probably less expensively in other
countries, but because they find this
country a safer and more welcoming
environment than the alternatives.
So, are you here because of the
draw of a vast social network promis-
ing to take care of you from cradle to
grave and take an increasing share of
your earnings to pay for it? Are you
here because you or your ancestors
risked all to find a country where the
government is so desirous of keeping
you safe that it tries to regulate every-
thing you use from your showerhead
and toilet to your food and fuel? Are
you in this country because you had
to live in a place where you can find
a warning label on everything you
come in contact with? Are you here
because you could only survive in a
place where anything you might find
offensive or anyone who might say
or publish such a thing is banished or
ostracized?
I dont think so.
You are here because this coun-
try is, or at least was, the land of
freedom and opportunity. You are
here because you or your ancestors
came here knowing that, although
you or they might fail and end up
without a roof overhead or a bite to
eat, the risk was worth the chance
to succeed and build a comfortable
life in a place where each genera-
tion could strive to do better than
the last and where the government,
instead of taking away opportunities
and stealing accumulated land and
money, would protect opportunity
and allow individuals to make the
decisions that govern their chances
of success or failure.
You are here because this country
was once the place that offered the
greatest freedom and required the
greatest amount personal responsi-
bility on the planet. You are here
because you or your ancestors were
risk takers who believed in them-
selves and believed that, given the
chance, they could overcome great
odds to build a great future for them-
selves, their families and their adopt-
ed country. You are here because
this country allows and encourages
you to pursue happiness! If we per-
mit this country to be changed to
one where the government regulates
our risks and limits and dictates our
rewards we will have betrayed the
very reason we are here and we will
have destroyed the essence of our
country, our immigrant past, and our
hopes for the future.

Still Looking
At Station # 3
First, I was very pleased and honored
that the Montecito Journal endorsed
my candidacy for the Montecito Fire
Protection District Board. If elected, I
do intend to be open minded, a good
listener, and a thoughtful problem
solver.
Second, I urge everyone to vote Yes
on Measure F2012, which expands
the Fire District Board to five mem-
bers. The limitations of the current
three-person Board are numerous. If
it happens that one director is on
vacation and another becomes ill, the
business of the District cannot be con-
ducted for lack of a quorum. In just the
past year this occurred, and it created
significant problems for the District.
Additionally, with the current Board
size, any discussion or meeting of any
two members constitutes a quorum,
and that activity must be publicly
noticed at least 24 hours in advance.
This has prevented the Fire District
Board from putting together a finance
committee or a personnel commit-
tee or engaging in any kind of study
group or ad hoc meetings to deal with
challenging issues facing the District.
Last, I assure voters that all the
Fire District Board candidates agree

that improving response time for
fire and emergency services to
every area of Montecito is a very
worthy goal. Currently, the opti-
mum response time of less than five
minutes is not achieved in three
areas of Montecito: the eastern por-
tion of Montecito, the coastal area,
and certain western parts of the
foothills. Some of the candidates
have expressed concerns about the
new third Fire Station as currently
planned on the east end of the
District; these comments should
not necessarily be seen as opposing
this proposal. I personally have not
yet taken a position regarding the
new facilitys construction because
the community has not been pro-
vided with budget projections that
would reassure me this third sta-
tion can be built without impacting
services to other parts of Montecito,
caused by the anticipated person-
nel reductions at Stations 1 and 2,
and without straining future Fire
District budgets, due to the addi-
tional annual operating expenses
of that third station. I believe that
every thoughtful Montecito resi-
dent would also like to have this
reassurance.

Clarifying MFPDs
Budget Status
It has been brought to our attention
that there are misstatements being dis-
seminated throughout the community
relating to the Districts financial and
budget status.
First, it has been stated that
Montecito Fire District is operating
under a $2-million deficit. This is false.
The District is not currently, nor has
it ever operated under a $2-million
deficit.
Government accounting standards
are somewhat different than what one
might be accustomed to in regular pri-
vate business, and if one is not famil-
iar with these practices, the Districts
annual financial reports might easily
be misconstrued or misread.
As explained by Heather Fletcher,
CPA, Audit Manager of the Santa
Barbara County Auditors office, the
Districts annual financial report for
Fiscal year 2011 shows a deficiency of
revenues under expenditures amount-
ing to $2,177,983.
The deficiency occurred solely dur-
ing this fiscal year because MFPD
refinanced its CALPERS side fund.
To do so, the District used a pension
obligation bond, which resulted in a
net savings to the District of $162,779.
The proceeds related to this bond
were documented on the financial
statement as an other financing
source as opposed to a regular
revenue. To the untrained reader, this
would make it appear as a deficit,
when in fact, there was none.
Another misunderstanding relates
to the Districts accounting practice
of borrowing funds; this specifically
relates to cash flow issues.
Government entities employ a num-
ber of techniques to meet cash flow
needs that arise prior to the receipt
of semi-annual property tax revenues
in order to cover normal operating
expenses. The District routinely bor-
rows from its Land & Building Fund
(Station #3 Fund) to cover General
Fund expenditures until tax revenues
are received.
Because the District has enough
funds in its own accounts, it has been
financially prudent to borrow from
its own funds, instead of from the
County Treasurer or through issu-
ance of other debt instruments, result-
ing in zero interest. According to Ms
Fletcher, borrowings, including tax
and revenue anticipation notes, are
common financing instruments used
by governments to provide for cash
flow needs.
And finally, the funding for Station
#3.
This is a topic of much discus-
sion. But as it relates to finances,
the District has been setting aside
funds since 2006 for the purchase of
land and construction costs. In April
of 2011, the District entered into
an Option to Purchase Agreement
with the Petan Company to pur-
chase the identified property on East
Valley for $1,273,862. The District
received construction estimates
from the architects of approximately
$7,428,475 to build the station as it
was conceptually drawn for a total
estimated cost to purchase and build
of $8,702,337.
Since 2006, the Board of Directors
has set aside $8,548,261 for Station
#3. There are several years before
the project is scheduled to break
ground, enabling the District to set
aside additional funds to complete
the project.
It is also important to note that the
District also has the necessary funds
set aside to purchase a Structure Fire
Protection Engine and a Wildland Fire
Engine for the new station.
The District has made every effort
to be fiscally responsible, and not defi-
cient in the balancing of its budget, or
in its planning for the addition of a
third fire station.
If you should have any questions
relating to any of these issues, there
will be a presentation on the Districts
finances at our October 25, 2012 Board
Meeting. The meeting will be held at
8:30 at Station #1.

ways to improve public safety in our
community is to expand the Board of
Directors from three members to five
members by voting YES on Measure F
in Novembers election.
Increasing the number of Board
members will give us a greater abil-
ity to act in any emergency. With only
three members, important decisions
could be delayed by illness or absence
from the immediate area. A five-mem-
ber board, like most public agencies,
will also give Directors the ability to
form committees, and provide great-
er long-term strategic planning and
financial oversight.
Both the Montecito Association and
the Montecito Journal urge you to vote
YES on Measure F. Please join us
in supporting YES on Measure F, to
maintain the high standards of the
Montecito Fire Protection District in
these times of relatively flat revenue
from property taxes and increasing
costs.

Montecito Fire District
Politics
As a resident, and retired Montecito
Fire Captain, I feel that I am in a posi-
tion to comment about the misinfor-
mation being spread regarding the
financial operation of the MFD, infor-
mation about the proposed Station #3,
and the upcoming Board election.
I began working for the MFD in
1954 when the department was small
and training was minimal. I have seen
the department grow to a first-class
department with personnel trained to
the highest level.
Isnt that what you want in
Montecito?
The fire district receives approxi-
mately 1/16th of 1% collected from
our property taxes. To my knowledge,
MFD has operated without ever ask-
ing to raise taxes or charge fees for
anything.
The District is not currently operat-
ing under a $2-million dollar deficit,
nor has it ever, as Mr. Gene Sinser has
indicated in his mailings and letters
to the editor. Anyone running for the
District Board should already under-
stand government accounting stan-
dards.
Regarding Station #3: the District
has set aside over $8 million dollars
since 2006 for the purchase of land,
construction costs, and equipment to
open the proposed third Station. It is
the Fire Districts intention to absorb
its annual costs for maintenance and
staffing within the allocated revenues
they already receive. What other
agency has had the fiscal responsibil-
ity to prefund a project like that? The
residents at the east end of the district
pay the same property tax to the Fire
District that everyone else does; dont
they deserve the same service? With
the ever-increasing building taking
place at the east end of the District,
another station in that area is only
prudent.
Additionally, we are appalled by
something that has taken place this
past weekend. Warner Owens, one of
the candidates endorsed by the four
retired fire chiefs, had almost all of
his signs removed; those endorsed by
others still remain. We find this action
totally unacceptable and a reprehen-
sible act of vandalism in our com-
munity. There are two past members
of the Montecito Association and two
present Board members running for
the Fire District Board; we find it inter-
esting that their signs are still in place.
We are also extremely concerned
with the candidates who want to com-
bine services into one entity (CSD or
cityhood), thereby diluting the Fire
Departments ability to serve and pro-
tect the citizens of Montecito.
The four retired fire chiefs represent
over 111 years of expertise and have
made an enlightened, unprecedented,
and united endorsement of four candi-
dates. They know what it takes to run a
fire department; especially one that has
the reputation and respect recognized
throughout the state! We are proud of
MFD and we urge you to vote for the
following candidates for the Montecito
Fire District Board: Martha Collins,
Mindy Denson, Roland Roy Jensen,
and Warner Owens.
John & Sue Ziliotto
Montecito
Trust The Fire Chiefs
This community has benefited so
much from the Montecito Fire District.
Adding fire Station # 3 can only provide
us with more staffing during a fire or
emergency as well as provide faster
medical emergency response to all the
people at that the east end of the com-
munity. We ultimately want to keep
our money with the Montecito Fire
District so that it is not redistributed
for other services. Fire protection and
public safety are very important to me
and it should be to everyone. I endorse
the candidates Roland Roy Jensen,
Martha Collins, Warner Owens, and
Mindy Denson. I trust our retired
Fire Chiefs whose judgment on who
would best fill the role on the board!
Ever since I have lived in Montecito,
Montecito Fire has provided excellent
service and my family would like to
see that continue.

Montecito Children
Will Benefit From
Measure A
The importance of local Measure A to
Montecito students should not be over-
looked. Montecito is part of the Santa
Barbara Unified School District and
most local students attend junior and/
or senior high schools in Santa Barbara
after they have completed Montecito
Union, Cold Spring or one of the areas
private or parochial schools.
Santa Barbara Unified School District
is turning to local residents to keep
several years of state budget cuts as far
away from the classroom as possible.
Measure A will generate more than
$7.5 million for math, science, tech-
nology, foreign language, arts, music,
theater and career programs in Santa
Barbara junior and senior high schools.
The funding derived from this mea-
sure is locally controlled and out of
the reach of state government. It will
be paid for by an assessment on each
property owner of $45/year for four
years, except for seniors who choose
to opt out. Measure A will replace an
earlier measure passed four years ago
that will expire next year.
The governing boards of both Cold
Spring and Montecito Union have
endorsed this measure because of the
tangible benefits it will provide our
students. We believe it deserves your
support.
Tammy Murphy
Tricia T. Price
(Editors note: We do, in fact support
Measure A but only because we believe
we shouldnt let our distaste for what
goes on in Sacramento negatively impact
Montecito school children. These funds,
while technically out of the reach of state
government, just give that aforementioned
state government more leeway in spending
what they already receive. J.B.) MJ

T
he line of the
Oregon Pacifc and
Southeastern railroad
is silent now, the rails
sold for scrap and the cars
relocated. No longer do the
engines of Old Slow and
Easy chug along the Row
River to fetch ore from the
Bohemia Mining District or
lumber from a multitude
of mills upstream from
Cottage Grove, Oregon. The
Blue Goose excursion train,
too, has ceased its weekend

valley. Only dim echoes of its
whistle can be discerned in
the wind that washes past as
our bikes speed through the

Oregon Catechism
Protestant missionaries, devoted
to bringing the Word to the heathen
Indians in the 1830s, sent home glow-
ing reports of fertile farmland in the
Willamette Valley. Though the Native
Americans met their exposition with
indifference, Midwesterners long-
ing for cheap, fertile land respond-
ed to their words with enthusiasm.
They packed up their families and
hit the Oregon Trail in search of the
new Garden of Eden. By 1845 at
least 5,000 Americans had reached
Oregon prompting a settlement of the
decades-old dispute regarding owner-
ship of the territory. Despite cries of
Fifty-four forty or fight, the U.S. and
Britain agreed to divide the lands at
the 49
th
parallel. The native population
was not consulted.
Circa 1850, the area around Cottage
Grove saw a sprinkling of settle-
ments, but the lands of the southern
Willamette Valley were not condu-
cive to large-scale farming. Settlers,
therefore, supplemented subsistence
farming with dairies, logging, and, for
a short time after 1864, gold mining.

of an abundance of rivers and creeks
made it even more difficult.
In the 1880s and 90s, a renewed
interest in the Bohemia mines, located
some 30 miles up the Row River,
brought better times to the town of
Cottage Grove. Its popula-
tion grew from some 250
souls in 1884 to 3,000 by
the 1890s. Optimistically,
plans were made for a rail-
road spur to service over
2,000 mining claims with
such names as Vesuvius,
Confidence, El Caldo, and
Holy Smoke. Before the
completion of the railway
in 1902, ore was transported
by freight wagon and timber
by wooden flumes. Though
the mines were almost played out by
1902, the timber industry benefitted
from facilitated transportation, as did
the city of Cottage Grove.

Blue Breakfast
The Biltmore was a sea of blue when
the Santa Barbara Police Foundation
hosted its third annual Brunch With
The Cops.
An eclectic mix of 250 guests, sitting
at tables featuring yellow Police: Do
Not Cross tape and festooned with
balloons, turned out, raising $253,000,
a whopping 150 percent increase on
the past two years.
We set a higher goal this year so
wed have enough money to grant
every request for un-budgeted equip-
ment for fighting crime and finan-
cially assist department employees
and family members who suffer cata-
strophic illness, injury or death, says
Craig Case, foundation president.
KEYT-TV senior reporter John
Palminteri conducted the live auc-
tion, which was fast and furious,
with many bidders duplicating items,
including a $3,000 day with the SWAT
team and a $2,000 day with the canine
unit. Three semi-automatic rifles alone
raised $12,000 with winning bids from
Andy Granatelli and Peter Jordano.
Johns colleague, anchor Paula Lopez,
joined in the spirit, singing a surpris-
ingly good rendition of America the
Beautiful. But Ill be sticking to my
night job, she assures me.
Before the heaving brunch, which
featured the Visions of Hope gos-
pel choir singing Oh Happy Day!,
champagne cocktails were served on
the lawn, which boasted an impres-
sive array of impeccably polished
police cars and motorbikes on display.
Guests at the bash included Mayor
Helene Schneider, Dolly Granatelli,
Gerd Jordano, district attorney
Joyce Dudley, Salud Carbajal, Betty
Stephens, Frank Hotchkiss, Hannah-
Beth Jackson, Debbie Kass, Kathy

Golfing for Good
Nearly 80 golfers participated in the
Montecito YMCAs fifth annual golf
fundraiser at the Glen Annie club,
which raised $17,000 for its Open

which provides memberships and
scholarships to the needy.
It was a very healthy turnout on
the fairways and we also had more
than one hundred at the reception,
says Mike Yamasaki, the Ys associate
executive director. The monies raised
make sure we are open to everyone.
Local attorney and Y board chair-
man, Mark Coffin, chaired the event,
while Paul Clay conducted the auc-
tion, which featured front section tick-

Mangia!
The heaving stage of the Lobero
Theatre resembled a Barnum & Bailey
big top when the theaters founda-
tion threw its second annual Mangia
del Arte gala featuring a circus troupe
from San Francisco.
Much like Cirque du Soleil, the tal-
ented performers put on a colorful
and agile show while the 170 guests
nibbled on a selection of bites pro-
vided by a host of chefs, including
Michael Hutchings, Petit Valentien,
Cadiz, Seagrass, Aldos and Blush.
It was a provocative evening of
cuisine and culture, says Angie
Bertucci, the Loberos publicist.
Guests were transported to a place
of whimsy and wonder. It satisfied all
the senses.
This was the first year the event,
which raised around $30,000, was
open to the public, having previously
only been available for VIP patrons.
Among those quaffing, noshing
and nibbling were Roger and Sarah

Vertical Road
It was a non-stop 80-minute show
when the London-based Akram Khan
Company danced its latest produc-
tion, Vertical Road, at the Granada.
The program featuring performers
from Asia, Europe and the Middle
East, part of the popular UCSB Arts
& Lectures series, centered on the
metaphorical veil that separates life
from death.
In a world moving so fast, with the
growth of technology and informa-
tion, I am somehow inclined to move
against the current, in search of what
I might mean to be connected, not just
spiritually, but also vertically, says
Khan.
It was certainly an epic production,
with a billowing white sheet drop-
ping from the ceiling to the floor, with
just a single figure behind it drawing
circles and waves, increasing to all
eight dancers who go through various
stages of movement, from frenetic to
full stop.

L
ast April, fve local
twentysomethings who all
had experienced the famous
Burning Man event in the Nevada
dessert created Lucidity, a three-day
festival that drew a couple thousand
adventurous locals and fellow travelers
to Live Oak Camp for an extravaganza
that featured art installations, music,
performance art, encampments,
themed areas and just about anything
people wanted to bring themselves.
Now, six months later, the same
crew known as Synaptic is back with
Lunacy, a similar-themed weekend at
the same locale, expanding upon and
refning the festival concept for the fall
season, with events and workshops
(ranging from yoga to fower essence)
spread over various stages and all
around the campground, some fully
produced and others popping out of
festival-goers on-site creativity.
Production manager Satory Palmer
was already up at Live Oak getting
things ready when we talked on the
phone earlier this week.
Q. I understand the Lucidity Festival
was all about clarity and vision. But now
theres Lunacy. Does that mean youre all
just going crazy this time around?
A. I know youre kidding, but thats
a good question. Weve been explor-
ing the topic as were getting set for
the opening ceremony. The worst
meaning is mania and lack of clarity.
But we are about the lunatic fringe,
literally going to the moon, which
humans have done in this combina-
tion of science and adventure. Where
Lucidity is about embracing the bright
side of the mind, this festival is more
about exploring the frontier, taking
on the unpredictable, going into the
unknown, and seeing whats next. The
big thing for us is to combine innova-
tion on artistic as well as scientific
sides. Theres a lot of science-influ-
enced art here and theyre actually

miles of freeway, will require sev-
eral interchanges along the freeway
to be rebuilt to accommodate a third
lane. The entire project requires eleven
creek crossings, seven over crossings
and four under crossings. Caltrans has
outlined five different configuration
options for the complex Hot Springs-
Cabrillo Blvd interchange, all of which
close the left hand exits in Montecito.
The Transportation Subcommittee,
not happy with the options, has been
studying alternatives over the last
year. They have consulted with sev-
eral experts, said Supervisor Salud
Carbajal, a member of the SBCAG
board of directors.
Presented by committee member and
Montecito Planning Commissioner
Jack Overall, the plan, dubbed the
Community Coalition Plan, calls for
keeping one left hand exit at Hot
Springs-Cabrillo. It also calls for the
closure of the Los Patos exit, and adds
a southbound on-ramp at Los Patos,
under the railroad.
Northbound, the plan calls for keep-
ing the Hermosillo Road exit open,
closing the Cabrillo Blvd left-hand exit,
and adding a right-hand exit at Hot
Springs Road that will feed into the
roundabout, which will be reconfig-
ured. The Community Coalition plan
suggests starting and finishing the
HOV lanes on each side of the freeway,
east of Olive Mill Road. This plan will
require exceptions; we are not trying to
hide from that, Overall said.
The Transportation Committee says
the plan will minimize time required
for construction, minimize disruption
to local roads and businesses, be more
cost effective, and solve congestion
problems in Montecito. They estimate
the alternative plan, which is not cur-
rently analyzed in Caltrans EIR for the
project, will take 19 months to build,
whereas Caltrans proposed plans will
take over four years. It is also estimated
that the alternative will cost $15 million
for this section of the project, versus
Caltrans $50 million estimate.
The main issue with the multiphase
plan, according to the SBCAG board, is
the exception required from Caltrans
to maintain the left-hand exit at Hot
Springs Road. Caltrans representatives
have repeatedly vetoed the idea, stat-
ing policy and safety concerns. The
two left-hand exits [in Montecito] are
safer than the five previous right hand
exits in Santa Barbara, Overall said,
So when we are told they are not
safe, we have data that says: wait, not
so fast.
The SBCAG board voted 12-1 to
direct Caltrans to fully analyze the
alternative as part of the environmen-
tal review process. They also voted to
send a letter to Caltrans asking it to
make an exception regarding the left-
hand exits.
A few members of the board voiced
concern over further delaying the pro-
cess by adding another alternative,
which requires more analysis. We
are going to have to live with this for
a long time. Its the biggest construc-
tion project to hit Montecito in sixty
years, Overall said. If we have to
take another month or two months
to figure out and get some of these
answers, we would certainly encour-
age that, he added.
Overall and the Transportation
Committee were applauded at the
conclusion of their in-depth presen-
tation. Its information and I think
its worth looking at, said Mayor
Helene Schneider, who reminded
the board that Montecito residents
recently endured years of construction
disruption from the 101 Operational
Improvements Project, which con-
cluded earlier this year.
Riviera Smiles Opens
on Coast Village Road
A new dental office, offering the
latest in dental technology and tech-
niques, opens this week at 1187 Coast
Village Road, Suite 11. Owned and
operated by Dr. Ana Martinez, DDS,
Riviera Smiles promises a comfort-
able, modern environment for general
and aesthetic dentistry.
Dr. Martinez, who hails from Peru,
served as Clinical Associate Professor
of the Department of Oral and
Maxillofacial Surgery, while continuing
her roles as Clinical Attending, Hospital
Dentistry and Clinical Attending in the
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial
Surgery at the University of Washington.
With an internationally based back-
ground, Dr. Martinez has experience
and training in Peru, Germany and
the United States. The doctor currently
works for an office in Santa Barbara,
and says she is eager to open her own
practice in Montecito.
There is such a strong sense of
community here, she told us dur-
ing a tour of the facility last week.
The office, located in the former UPS
Store space, is replete with local art on
the walls, comfortable waiting room
chairs, and designer lighting. Past the
waiting room are four private exam
and procedure rooms, featuring mas-
saging dental chairs. Each patient is
given an iPad upon entering the office,
to use for filling out paperwork and
billing (Dr. Martinez uses all paper-
less technology) and then during their
cleaning or procedure to check email,
listen to music, or watch movies.
In keeping with the minimalistic
and green approach, Dr. Martinez
uses products from environmentally
friendly companies, including recy-
cled and biodegradable alternatives to
traditional paper and plastic. It is my
goal to serve and protect my patients,
serve the community, and reduce our
impact on the environment, she says
with a soft accent. The office has an
array of dental advancements, includ-
ing computer-assisted anesthesia,
which promises to be virtually pain-
less, digital x-rays, diode lasers, and
new surgical technology which, Dr.
Martinez says, reduces the chance of
possible complications, surgical bleed-
ing, and post-operative discomfort.
My patients will receive the safest,
most effective, and most comfortable
dentistry possible, she adds.
Dr. Martinez offers general dentist-
ry and cleanings, cosmetic dentistry,
and oral surgery. The office is open
Wednesday through Friday, from
8:30 am to 5 pm. A grand opening is
planned before the end of the year; the
practice is open now.
Riviera Smiles is located at 1187
Coast Village Road, Suite 11. For more

Santa Barbara Poetry Initiative Launches
A
s part of the Santa Barbara
Poetry Initiatives launch, its
frst Visiting Poet Series took
place on October 19 and 20, featuring
world renowned poet, Thomas Lux.
Recipient of the Kingsley Tufts Poetry
Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship
and three-time winner of The National
Endowment for the Arts, Luxs works
span from Neo-Surrealism to Realism.
The New York Times wrote that for
Lux, clarity in writing does not mean
dumbing down the poem. His ideas
are complex, but his narratives and
images are absolutely clear. Thomas
currently resides as the Bourne Chair
in Poetry at the Georgia Institute of
Technology.
The weekend commenced with a
reception held at the Montecito estate
of Michael and Nancy Gifford.
Following the reception, Lux read
selected poems and answered ques-
tions from attendees at the El Presidio
Chapel. Poems noted were from his
11
th
book of poetry, God Particles and
everyones favorite poem, The Joy-
Bringer. Lux shared his intimate
inspirations for the poems as well,
stating that while sometimes one does
not understand a poem, there is some
majesty about its sound, like a sym-
phony, and that may be all you need.
Indeed Lux was all one needed. He
read his works with a quiet elegance
that affected everyone who attended.
On Saturday, October 20, he held a
day-long writers workshop, which
was sold out and wait-listed in less
than two weeks.
Over 75 guests at the reception
and weekend workshop included
four Poet Laureates: Barry Spacks,
Perie Longo, David Starkey and
Paul Willis. Other attendees includ-
ed Thomass wife Jenny, Ginny
Castagnola-Hunter, Diana and
Simon Raab, Greg Orfalea, Catey and
Ken Dunkley, Bruce Willard, Arts
Fund Executive Director Catherine
Gee, Lois and Ron Klein, Gudrun
Bortman, Elena Karina Byrne,
Richard Jarrette, Jolie Chain, Chryss
Yost, Gabriella Klein, Phil Taggert
and Chris Lancashire.
Nancy Gifford, whose dream for
three years was to form this place
for poets in our town, met up with
poet Kurt Brown to form the Poetry
Initiative. Brown, in addition to
authoring six chapbooks (pocket-sized
booklet) and six full-length collections
of his own poetry, founded the Aspen
Writers Conference, and taught
poetry at Sarah Lawrence College in
Bronxville, New York for almost a
decade. He and his poet wife, Laure-
Anne Bosselaar, moved to Santa
Barbara two years ago. Also sponsor-
ing the weekend event were Christine
and Richard Kravetz, Catey and Ken
Dunkley and the Santa Barbara Trust
for Historic Preservation.
Nancy says, Outside of the college
classroom there is no place where crit-
ically acclaimed poets can offer inti-
mate weekend workshops for writers
of all ages and abilities. Our long-term
goal through this Poetry Initiative is
to raise the funds to bring in several
poets a year so that locals who are
eager to study with a national poet
will now have the opportunity.

Barbara Poetry Initiative, contact

one and the same. We love to push
the boundaries in a way thats healthy,
progressive and positive. Think of
Columbus, who had to go off the edge
of the world to find new things. A lot
of the terminology we play with has
to do with astronomy and astrology,
but what captures it for me is frontier-
ism. There are times in human history
where you have to go beyond what is
known. We all believe this one is of
those times. But its not on a map. Its
social and relationship based.
Whats different than with Lucidity?
For sure there seems to be more live music
vs. DJs.
This event has more emphasis on
both live music and fine art. With
Santa Barbara being what it is, we
want to represent every element. We
dont want to ignore traditional art
forms and older generations. That
creates boundaries, which we dont
want. Thats why we reached out to
Opera Santa Barbara and State Street
Ballet. There are a lot of divisions
happening in the world that are com-
pletely unnecessary. Were opening it
up by bringing a lot of ideas, styles
approaches, and you can discover all
the fragments in one place.
Is the fest still about blurring the line
between participant and audience, rede-
fining collaboration, and finding the right
relationship between open source and
fully produced?
Yes. Theres a precision element in
the production, but only whats nec-
essary. But to appeal to the com-
munity, it needs to be accessible and
let people tap into it. And even the
curated elements can tap into what
impromptu groups are doing. We
needed to plan the weekend carefully
to mind that moment of release and
transformation. But theres also the
open source stage, a mixture of sched-
uled performances from smaller acts
with doing whatever you want in the
moment. You can switch roles even
for a moment as you walk by. There
are a lot of interactive experiences.
Halloween helps, I imagine.
Absolutely. The best thing about
having it this holiday is that it encour-
ages costumes, which are part of these
festivals anyway. You can participate
without feeling like youre drinking
the Kool Aid. So you can lose your
inhibitions and redefine yourself.
There will be a zombie crawl one
night, and super heroes versus super
villains party another night; find your
own area.
Can you give me some idea of the events
and installations?
We have a giant Tesla coil and a guy
named Dr. Megavolt who will dance
with it with a stainless steel supercon-
ductor wrapped around his body. Its
shock and awe at the nexus of science
and art Also, Ive studied music as
well as sound engineering, and we
have some of the finest quality audio
systems known to man. It can produce
more frequencies that the human ear
can hear. Youll hear sounds you dont
normally at a festival, and be able to
feel reverberations in your bones and
chest cavity that you cant even hear.
What did you learn from Lucidity about
the site, the people, and the problems that
youre applying to this event?
Number one was the grace of how
to pull the production together. With
Lucidity there was a spray of get it
together and just see what happens.
This time its more subtle and delicate,
easily executable, but still incredible
to witness. Were creating the back-
bone and counting on the community
to come and fill in the gaps. Some of
the coolest stuff might be someone
you know, a neighbor doing a special
yoga thing.
That community aspect is unusual for
one of these festivals. But how do you
plan to keep it from getting so big that
it doesnt fit at Live Oak anymore, like
Lightening in a Bottle?
Its not hard to grow. But they
missed something thats essential:
this belongs to Santa Barbara. We
appealed to the longstanding artistic
collective and colleges, because its
about the people who are with each
other all year round. The idea is to
bring us together. And when you go
back to your life, you remember that
you can accomplish things together.
Burning Man is global; this is the local
version where you dont have to leave
behind whats possible when you go
home. You can get in touch and keep
it going. But we do have to protect it.
Lunacy takes place at Live Oak Friday
through Sunday, October 26-28. Single
day tickets cost $75, two days passes are
$125 and a full festival pass runs $175,
which includes camping. Get tickets, a

50 Years
in the Bluegrass
Peter Feldmanns current bluegrass
band is called the Very Lonesome
Boys. But hell be surrounded by fam-
ily and friends musical and other-
wise, although there arent a lot of
degrees of separation between the two
in Feldmanns world at the Lobero
next Friday night when the now Santa
Ynez-based musician marks a mile-
stone with a concert dubbed 50 Years
in the Bluegrass.
The show is meant to celebrate
Feldmanns lengthy career as a per-
former, collector and presenter of
acoustic music ranging from blue-
grass, to old-time, folk and blues all
around Santa Barbara and environs.
His foray began when he returned
to town in 1962 and organized Santa
Barbaras first Hootenanny, a col-
lective gathering of folksingers, in
Orpet Park. Within a few years, hed
started booking folk concerts, and by
the early 1970s had both founded the
Bluebird Caf (now SOhO), where he
presented some of the biggest names
in old time music, and created the Old
Time Fiddlers Convention, originally
a more educational and still participa-
tory event which celebrated its 42nd
year just two weeks ago. In 1973, he
founded his own record label, issu-
ing original recordings of string band
music. Hes also been in and out of
radio for decades, including for the
citys first FM station located in El
Paseo, and taught banjo, guitar, and
fiddle at Adult Ed and country music
history at UCSB Extension.
The concert brings him together
with some of his favorite collabora-
tors from the last half-century, includ-
ing fiddle greats Byron Berline and
Blaine Sprouse, guitarist Rick Cunha,
bassist David Jackson (who got his
start on The Andy Williams Show and
co-wrote the Three Dog Night hit Joy
to the World and Ringo Starrs No-
No Song with Hoyt Axton) and sing-
er-songwriter Mayne Smith (whose
songs have been recorded by Linda
Ronstadt, David Lindley and Rosalie
Sorrels). Also on the bill are many of
Feldmanns Santa Barbara associates,
from fiddler Jim Wimmer, to acous-
tic blues icons Tom Ball & Kenny
Sultan, to up and coming blues-rock-
er Alastair Greene, to members of the
Scragg Family, his first band, which
sprouted from Mountain Drive and
helped influence the music scene in
San Francisco in the 1960s.
Feldmann talked about his career
and the concert in an interview earlier
this week.
Q. You studied botany at UCSB. Do
you remember the moment you knew that
you were going to play music for a career?
A. Not really. It was a constant
struggle for me. What helped me
make up my mind to go into music
full time was that Id spent two years
of painstaking research extracting
pine resin and analyzing the oil to
correlate species during the daytime. I
always brought along a tape recorder
and microphone and Id look for banjo
and fiddle players at night. The sum-
mer after that, my lab was burglar-
ized and someone made off with the
equipment I was using. I was faced
with having to do my research all
over again. I thought it was a dancing
lesson from God, as Kurt Vonnegut
said, a sign that I should go ahead and
pursue the banjo and fiddle.
The Bluebird was really successful
when you sold it, and you also later moved
on from the Fiddle Convention. Why?
I was just getting worn out and also
had a family tragedy and didnt want
to continue running a music club. And
with the festival, because it happened
in early October, I spent most of my
summers getting ready for it. And
thats the best time for a bluegrass/
old time musician to be out traveling
and performing. In 1997, when I quit,
I wanted to get back to playing more.
Looking back over half a century, what
still stands out as a highlight? A favorite
moment?
The single most important thing
was all the people I met through
the music, many of whom became
friends. The music was a passport to
get to places I never would have been
otherwise. I met Byron Berline and
(Father of Bluegrass) Bill Monroe; that
was something very special. When I
collected samples, one of the places
I stopped was Kernville, and I came
back to be a judge in a fiddle festival.
There I ran into a Cherokee Indian
fiddler who was a fertilizer salesman.
I got a crash course in that style of fid-
dling. Those kinds of adventures are a
total treasure A lot of artists stayed
at my house when I had the Bluebird.
Wed talk about Robert Johnson and
play music at home. The unique thing
about the music is what it means to
come from the culture that produced
it. It doesnt evolve in a petri dish
it comes from how people live, and
work and what they do. That explora-
tion is still going on.
The Cajun fiddler Dewey Balfa
came through on a tour and he and his
50 Years in the Bluegrass at the Lobero cel-
ebrates Peter Feldmanns career as a bluegrass,
old-time, folk, and blues musician

WAY IT WAS (Continued from page 41)
In the 1930s and 40s, the Army
Corp of Engineers solved the annual
flooding problems by building two
dams, Dorena and Cottage Grove,
which had the added benefit of sup-
plying recreational opportunities for
the area. The area became famous in
1926 when Buster Keaton used the
rail line to film The General, about
a Civil War locomotive chase. (The
area was later rediscovered and used
for the 1972 Emperor of the North train
saga starring Lee Marvin, Ernest
Borgnine, and Keith Carradine; and
for scenes in the 1978 spoof on col-
lege fraternities Animal House and
the 1986 Stand by Me, which garnered
both Golden Globe and Academy
Award nominations.)
Background to the Trail
In 1969, Look Magazine named
Cottage Grove one of eleven All
American Cities. But the end of life
as Cottage Grovers knew it was just
around the corner. The economic
mainstay of timber was collapsing and
the OP & E was making only three
unprofitable runs a week. In stepped
Willis Kyle, owner of an excursion
train in Yreka, California. In 1970, he
purchased 51% of the line and initiat-
ed Blue Goose excursions up the Row
River Valley on the weekends. Cottage
Grove began to develop an additional
economy based on tourism. Timber
continued its decline and mills closed
as logs were shipped overseas for
milling. In 1987 changes in ownership
and use of the line saw the Blue Goose
make its last run up the Row River.
Eventually Willamette Industries, the
new owner, pulled up the tracks.
In 1992 private citizens and several
governmental agencies came togeth-
er to create a Rails-to-Trails project
for the abandoned line. Willamette
Industries traded the right of way
to the Bureau of Land Management
in lieu of payment on a timber sale,
and in 1998 Cottage Grove added the
beautiful Row River Trail to a host of
cultural, historical, and recreational
attractions in its expanding tourist-
based economy.
The name of the trail, by the way, is
not pronounced like Row, row, row
your boat but rhymes with How
now, brown cow? According to the
story, it was named after a disagree-
ment between two men regarding
cattle and sheep grazing rights in
the 1850s. The row between the men
turned deadly when one of them was
killed.
The Ride
Wrapped in scarves and warm jack-
ets, my husband and I peddled from
our motel to the North Thornton Street
entrance of the Row River Trail on an
early October morning. The pastoral
landscape was already tinged with
autumnal tones; the pale stubble of
mown hayfields punctuated by yel-
lows and reds of maple and cotton-
wood trees. Tendrils of thorny black-
berry vines invade the asphalt trail
and licked at our tires. They have
devoured whole fences and crept onto
the roofs of deserted houses. Moss-
festooned apple trees lining the route
sent out showers of rosy fruit.
At Mosby Creek we stepped back
in time at the first of three covered
bridges near the trail. Still used for
automobile traffic, it is one of the
oldest surviving covered bridges in
Lane County and boasts open clere-
story windows under its eaves. A little
farther along we made a short side
trip to the 1925 Currin Bridge, which
crosses the Row River. The road now
bypasses this favored relic, but its roof
is well maintained and protects the
bridge from weather and wear.
The gentle grade next took us along
Dorena Lake. The reservoir, completed
in the 1940s, required relocating the
homes of the pioneer town of Dorena
as well as the train tracks. Here we
peddled in the dappled light of the
forest with flashing views of the lake
on our right. Towering pine and fir
trees create an arbor under which grow
ferns and other shade loving vegeta-
tion while moss curbs the trail. We
emerged from the deep woods at a
green meadow and followed the river
past the remains of cookie cutter com-
pany housing, stopping here and there
to sample the sweet blackberries, and
riding ever east until we reached the
end of the trail at Culp Creek.
The day had warmed and with
some 15 miles under out belts, we
stopped for a picnic lunch before glid-
ing downhill along the now famil-
iar pastoral landscape for a visit to
the charming and historical town of
Cottage Grove.
Cottage Grove
We came to Cottage Grove to ride
the trail and regretted having to leave
after only two nights because the
town and the rest of the area has a lot
to offer. We were disappointed to miss
the Cottage Grove Covered Bridge
Festival and hope to be back next
year to enjoy the $5 hot air balloon
rides, the Old Time Fiddlers, and the
Pitchfork Steak Dinner. Cant wait to
enter the Pumpkin Chunkin contest
and the Skillet Toss and Wife Carry
competitions. Might even take a bus
tour of the seven covered bridges and
will definitely cheer for the Covered
Bridges Relay Teams.
We plan to hike in the Bohemia
Mining District, visit the museums
(which were on winter hours when
we were there), and walk the historic
areas of Victorian homes and once
again visit the charming downtown
which has, can you believe it, three
local bookstores selling new, used,
and rare books. The town also has the
most beautiful murals. Then there is
always the nearby wine tasting, and
kayaking on the rivers and lakes, and
camping and fishing, and Well, I
guess we will have to cultivate our
patience.

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

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

Verdis OTELLO
Arlington Theatre
brother came over to my house and
I hosted a BBQ and jam session, and
it was such a good time. We got into
some heavy conversations, and ended
up crying in my kitchen, which he
remembered fifteen years later when
I ran into him back in the south. Its
moments like that that make it worth-
while. You dont make a helluva lot
of money. In fact, its like that story
of how to make a million bucks in
folk music: start out with two. Thats
what Im doing, slowly hemorrhaging
money playing the music I love. And
Im having an absolute blast. Thats
what the show is all about. An onstage
music party with friends.
Okay, lets talk about the concert:
Youve arranged quite a line-up for this
celebration. How did you pick who to ask
to join you?
I was trying to find people Id
worked with in different periods in
my life, and everybody said yes. Im
going to try to make some sort of
coherent progression, going from solo
songs into duos and trios, from string
bands to folk music, to blues to coun-
try then into bluegrass, which is what
I do most now. Ill try to show how all
the things fit together. But Ive only
got two and a half hours max so its
going to be filled up. Ill just try to
touch as many bases as I can Putting
Blaine together with Byron its like
taking a Ferrari out on the highly and
stomping on the pedal. Theyre very
powerful players. Its going to be a lot
of fun.
Ive got to ask, since half a century is a
pretty long time. Any thoughts of retir-
ing?
I dont want to. I like to perform. I
enjoy teaching people who want to
learn but I really love playing. Its still
a blast. I couldnt be happier. I may
not be doing as much traveling as
when I was younger, but I hope to be
able to play until the day I die, or pret-
ty close. One of my heroes, Uncle
Dave Macon, one of the early stars of
Grand Ole Opry, he played right up
until a month before he died in 1952.
He finished his final set and called for
the stage hands and said Boys, youll
have to carry me off. Im done. I cant
think of any better way to retire.
Peter Feldmanns Fifty Years in the
Bluegrass performance takes place 8pm
Friday November 2 at the Lobero Theater.

Focus on Film
The Ojai Film Festival no longer has
delusions of grandeur i.e. competing
with the Santa Barbara International
Film Festival for regional dominance
and has settled nicely into its fall
weekend niche as a local event with a
community focus. To that end, the fest
kicks off once again with a free screen-
ing Thursday night, this year Yellow
Submarine, the Beatles overlooked ani-
mated classic, which will unspool at

Fifty-eight more movies will be shown
over the rest of the weekend, spread
among such genres as narrative, docu-
mentary, animated, a small competi-
tion category and the new Focus Earth,
concentrating on nature and other
environmental causes. Minds in the
Water, which traces the quest of pro-
fessional surfer Dave Rastovich and
his friends to protect dolphins, whales
and the oceans they all share, shows
on Friday night, while Patagonias
new film, Groundswell, about tar sands
oil pipelines possible effects on the
British Columbia coastline, screens at
7pm Sunday.
Other movies of interest include
Happy the latest from Roko Belic,
whose Academy Award-nominated
Genghis Blues premiered at SBIFF sev-
eral years ago a foray into the secrets
behind our most valued emotion; Belic
will be on hand for Saturdays screen-
ing. Accidental Icon the Real Gidget
Story which explores the real life
of Kathy Kohner Zuckerman whose
childhood exploits in Malibu in the
1950s were captured in the famous
Gidget book, films and TV show
shows on Saturday, with Zuckerman
attending for a post-screening Surf
party.
Stephen de Souza, who wrote
Commando, 48 Hours, The Running
Man and Die Hard, is part of the
daylong Screenwriters Symposium on
Saturday along with Grandmaster
of Pitching Ken Rotcop, who was
helped get Boardwalk Empire, The

Stop the madness If the current
sorry state of political discourse has you
ready to throw up your hands (if not throw
away your ballot), Jeff Greenfeld
might have the elixir. Less than two weeks
before Election Day, the veteran political
commentator and analyst will speak at
UCSB tonight on the topic If Youve
Had Enough of the Food Fights: A Clear-
Eyed Look at the Political Landscape...
And Beyond. Five-time Emmy-winner
Greenfeld, who currently hosts PBS Need
to Know, and previously served as CBS
Senior Political Correspondent and similar
roles at ABC and CNN, examines the
interplay between media and presidential
politics with an eye toward how much this
campaign has been shaped by media
(both old and new) and how much it is
being driven by the same fundamentals
that characterize all campaigns. WHEN:

resentments and free love. The play, which was hailed as deliciously comical by
the Evening Standard, was performed live at Londons world-renowned National

Gils overdue debut Its almost
unfathomable to contemplate that
Gilberto Gil has never performed
in Santa Barbara before. Over his
four decade career, the Brazilian
superstar has evolved from a purely
bossa nova musician and to a probing
singer-songwriter whose compositions
focused largely on social activism
and politics. He was a key fgure in
the tropicalia movement, was briefy jailed in the late 1960s, helped to modernize
Brazilian pop music and served as an ambassador for his countrys culture around
the world. The latter included, most recently, serving as Brazils Minister of Culture
(2003-2008). A multiple Grammy Award winner, Gil has been a tireless innovator
and assimilator of styles who songs have become legendary in his own country
and often fodder for cover versions throughout the world. At UCSBs Campbell
Hall tonight, Gil will perform with a seven-piece band, revisiting old classics and
performing selections from his latest album, F na Festa, which updates baio, the
infectious, celebratory dance music of rural Northeast Brazil. Its about time! WHEN:

Takes two to Tango State Street Ballets
season-opening An American Tango is a high-
style tribute to the life and true love story of
Frank and Yolanda Veloz, considered the
greatest ballroom dance couples of the 1930s
and 40s. The world premiere evening-length
ballet, conceived and written by Guy Veloz
with choreography by New York City-based
choreographer and frequent SSB collaborator
William Soleau, stars two veteran company
principal dancers: Leila Drake, who joined
in 2005, and Jack Stewart, on staff since
2009. The Velozes careers took them from the steamy clubs of Havana and Miami to
Broadway and eventually Beverly Hills and the world of Hollywood flm. Soleau, who
has choreographed more than 80 ballets for companies around the world, used as
inspiration Frank and Yolandas love affair with their art, their close relationships with
their many colorful friends including mobster Dutch Schultz, gossip journalist Walter
Winchell, and Broadway producer Florenz Ziegfeld, and most importantly, their
passion for each other. As with last years Vincent Van Gogh tribute Starry Night,
Soleau is again using a spoken character role, this time Joseph Fuqua known his
frequent appearances at Rubicon Theatre in Ventura as a character witness, literally,

Meanwhile, in case youve been liv-
ing under a rock (or more likely so
turned off by political advertising and
election coverage that youve dras-
tically cut back on media exposure),
the Santa Barbara International Film
Festival has announced that Robert
De Niro will be this years recipi-
ent of the Kirk Douglas Award for
Excellence in Film. After having previ-
ously feted John Travolta, Ed Harris,
Harrison Ford and writer-director
Quentin Tarantino, SBIFF has now
landed one of the most popular, tal-
ented and decorated actors of the last
several decades. Its a well-timed visit
too: De Niro stars in Silver Linings
Playbook, which is being hailed as one
of the best films of the year and a sure
nominee come Oscar time. The black
tie gala is moving from the Coral
Casino located here in Montecito,
where Douglas resides, to the Bacara

On Stage
Maybe its because the days are get-
ting shorter. Perhaps its the rapidly
approaching end to daylight savings
time. Or possibly its due to the advent
of Day of the Dead and Halloween.
All we know is that theater around
town this month has been darker than
a moonless night on the San Marcos
Pass, what with Ensembles terse
adaptation of Dostoyevskys haunt-
ing Crime and Punishment, which just
closed last weekend, or Rubicons
entry into Spanish-language the-
ater, La Razn Blindada (The Armored
Reason), a sharply political play about
the nature of tyranny that just opened
in Ventura last weekend.
Then theres the Santa Barbara debut
of Tracy Letts admittedly funny but
decidedly challenging and penetrat-
ingly thought-provoking Pulitzer and
Tony Award winning drama August:
Osage County, which is in the mid-
dle of its run at SBCCs remodeled
Garvin Theatre. Meanwhile, Genesis
Wests major production of the year,
absurdist master Samuel Becketts
bleak Endgame, winds up its engage-
ment at McDermott-Crockett and
Associates Mortuary this weekend.
By all reports, the setting has been
perfect for the staging of a day in the
life of a group of decaying survivors
in mysteriously hard times, including
a blind master who cant stand up,
his servant who cant sit, his parents
who live in trash cans, and his sole
possession, a toy dog thats missing
a leg.
Fun stuff. Maybe they should just
hand out the antidepressants at the
door along with the programs.
On the lighter side, also coming
to an end is Halloween Tales from the
Womens (& Mens) Locker Room, play-
ing through Sunday at Senga Classic
Stage Company in Ojai. An autum-
nal goodie bag full of folk lore,
Tales consists of four original short
plays set variously at an East Coast
funeral home (is there a theme here?),
backstage at a drag queens perfor-
mance, a Latino home in California,
and an actual womens locker room
with short tales from a couple of
witches interspersed between the
one-acts. And Circle Bar B Dinner
Theatres charming Any Wednesday,
which still has two more weekends
at the rustic converted barn up on
Refugio Road, might be sweeter than
all the Halloween candy your young-
sters bring home from a night of trick-
or-treating. Think of the show set in
the 1960s as Mad Men-lite; bring along
the candy, but leave the scotch and
bourbon at home. MJ

A-Long, a free Hand Jive lesson, silent auction,

Recently Reduced
Real Estate by Mark Hunt
Mark and his wife, Sheela Hunt, are real estate agents. They live in Montecito with their daughter Sareena,
a freshman at SBHS. His family goes back nearly one hundred years in the Santa Barbara area. Marks
grandparents Bill and Elsie Hunt were Santa Barbara real estate brokers for 25 years.
S
ometimes a property listed for
sale can include many of the
attributes of something that
would otherwise be considered a
good buy (location, size, quality,
amenities, etc), and still not sell right
away. In what is still an uncertain real
estate market, and with the limited
inventory available, buyers may be
hesitant about making ofers, or, even
more perversely, are waiting for the
next great thing to hit the market.
Many homes that seem to be great
deals, but remain on the market a few
months or more, can become what are
often referred to as stale listings,
and sit virtually unnoticed until the
perfect buyer comes along, or until
the seller simply takes that property
off the market.
There are other homes whose sellers
decide to offer a reduction in price one
or more times, in an effort to revitalize
interest from agents and buyers and
find that price point where the home
will receive serious offers and sells.
The key is not to just chase a price
point down, but to continue to market
the best attributes of the home and
compare it to other sales and listings
in similar price ranges.
All that said, what follows are a few
homes that have been on the market
for some time but havent sold and
that I feel were good deals even at a
recent and previous price. The homes
have undergone a price reduction and
may now be more attractive to buyers
in their price range.
222 Ortega Ridge Road: $2,395,000
(Previous Price: $2,585,000)
This home sits between Montecito
and Summerland, close to each and
close to the beach, and boasts expan-
sive ocean views. Perched on a knoll
overlooking the Pacific & surrounded
by lawns, gardens and patios, this well
designed and classically decorated
home is set down a private road, on
over half an acre. The house is adver-
tised as having four bedrooms and
four bathrooms, and just over 4,000 sq
ft of living space. It has an open floor
plan that facilitates indoor and outdoor
living, with views and light from every
angle. Inside features a formal living
room, dining room, private office, and
at the heart of the home, an impressive
ocean-view great room and a spacious
modern kitchen. The ocean view from
the second-floor master suite with two
private decks is exceptional.
302 Woodley Road: $4,200,000
This dramatic Tuscan villa was fea-
tured in a previous article; it offers
four bedrooms and six bathrooms, and
is situated close to town, on Pepper
Hill. The home and surrounding
property offer privacy and panoramic
ocean and island views. Designed by
Hochhauser-Blatter AIA, the house
displays a well-thought-out integra-
tion of interior and exterior space
featuring expansive entertaining ter-
races, a pool and spa and ocean views.
The approach to 302 Woodley Road
is gated, up a long drive to a motor
court. There is an impressive staired
entry to the home, giving it that castle
on the hill feeling.
