22 29 November 2012 MONTECITO JOURNAL 2 The Voice of the Village
During the first 10-months of this year, the market for finer homes in
Montecito and Santa Barbara continued to show mixed results. The vital
signs in the three general price ranges making up our community varied
considerably.
Homes priced from between $4 million and $8 million, the largest
segment of homes reviewed here, remained difficult to sell, and during the
first ten months of this year recorded only 38 sales. This from over 149
available is a success rate of only 25% sold. The sale of 38 homes was
better than last year when we sold only 20 homes in the first 10-months of
the year, and better than the really difficult years of 2009 and 2010 when
the economic downturn first took affect. As a comparison, in 2007 and
2008 we sold 62 and 45 homes in this important price range during the
first 10-months of those years. Certainly trending up, but not yet back to a
healthy market.
The homes priced from between $8 million and $15 million fared much
better. This year we sold 13 homes compared to only 2 last year during the
first 10-months of the year. These 13 homes were from an inventory of
approximately 65 available for a success rate of just 20% but much closer
to a normal range when compared to the previous eight years when we sold
between 10 and 16 homes during the first 10-months of those years in this
same price range.

But if you had to pick a price range to have a home on the market you
would have wanted to be priced above $15 million. It was easily the best
performing price range in our area. This year weve already sold 9 homes
priced over $15 million and that number was only matched one other year,
in 2007, when we also sold 9 homes in the first 10-months of that year. In
each of the last three years, we sold only 2 to 4 similar major estates during
the first 10-months of the year.
So what is causing this lack of sales in what most would consider our
primary market of mid-sized family homes, and why are the larger, trophy-
sized homes suddenly showing such a success with buyers? There are
probably three reasons.
First, the median sales price in Montecito has increased in value by 637%
over the last 30-years. Because of this, since Proposition 13 was passed in
1978 pegging existing property taxes at their 1975 level and limiting
maximum annual increases to just 2%, Santa Barbara has not seen much
cross-town traffic of residents moving from one neighborhood to another.
Owners would usually consider remodeling where they are in order to
adjust to any changing family needs rather than to change homes and incur
a significant increase in property taxes based on 1% of their new purchase
price. Only sellers over the age of 55 and buying a home of lesser value are
exempt from this significant increase in the cost of a new home. And
theyre not usually the candidates for a larger, family home.
Second, this lesser number of local buyers pretty much limits the sale of
our typical, primary-home buyers to out-of-town candidates who must
sell their home in Chicago, New York or Florida and change their
childrens schools, their country club memberships, make new friends
and rearrange all their business relationships to a new community.
Where a move from one side of town to another can be difficult,
moving from one city or state to another can be dramatically more
difficult. Such self-inflicted trauma is not an often elected option during
the uncertain economic times where we now find ourselves. For both of
these reasons, it has become more difficult to sell the typical family
home to a primary home buyer.
The third issue affecting our current market is a positive one and its
whats making our more expensive trophy properties more popular.
These homes are not usually being purchased by families as a primary
residence, but rather by families as a second, third, or greater property
to an already existing number of homes owned by the buyers. They are
attractive now because, as in most categories of investment items, the
best of the best, the trophy properties, increase in value the most over
time, especially after an economic downturn. Financially capable buyers
are seeing what they consider to be the bottom of our market, especially
attractive borrowing terms, and an attractive inventory of trophy proper-
ties to select from. And California real estate, especially in our area,
looks like an attractive alternative compared to many other investment
choices right now.
So what do you do now if youre trying to sell one of our
mid-sized family homes?

Who Sank the Miramar?
S
huttered for 12 years, the Miramar has become a case study in community
frustration. First opened in 1889, it now looks as if the Miramar could
reach its 125th birthday in 2014 still comatose and on life support. How
long will residents and beachgoers be asked to tolerate this long-vacant
eyesore, which remains an affront to our seaside community?
Another year of negotiations has ended in an impasse. On October 18,
2012, County Executive Officer Chandra Wallace sent a letter to Rick Caruso
stating that the County of Santa Barbara was ending any further discussions
regarding the Caruso application for the Countys Hotel Incentive Program
(HIP). This surprise action came four months after the Santa Barbara County
Board of Supervisors (BOS) voted 3-2 in favor of the Hotel Incentive Program
(HIP), designed by County Auditor-Controller Bob Geis. Under a carefully
negotiated agreement, the County promised to rebate 70% of the Miramars
transient occupancy tax (TOT) for 15 years, while retaining 20% for the
County and 10% for a county tourism promotion fund. After 15 years, the
County would receive 100% of the TOT.
First District Supervisor Salud Carbajal argued persuasively that this
innovative solution was needed to create jobs and spur economic growth.
According to County estimates, the new Miramar from day one would gen-
erate $1.7 million in property taxes per year (vs. the current $568,000 now
collected on the unimproved land); it would generate $1.5 million each year
in new sales taxes vs. zero today; and $0.5 million as the Countys 30% share
of estimated TOT revenues. At the end of the 15th year, the TOT paid to the
County would be the full $1.5 million generated annually.
In answer to community criticism of corporate welfare for billionaires
and pleas from existing resorts of unfair competition, Carbajal and Geis
pointed out that over the next 20 years, the county would get $10 million
if the site remains undeveloped vs. $130 million if it is rebuilt. Carbajal
emphasized that, Even my sixth-grade son understands that zero percent
of nothing is nothing. Zero money wont reduce county deficits; it wont
fund mental health, better schools or improved public safety. In addition,
the project would create a thousand construction jobs and over 200 resort
jobs.
What Went Wrong?
Four months after approving the TOT rebate ordinance, the County can-
celed the deal. Three things changed:
1) The County Attorney belatedly discovered that a 15-year commitment
may violate the California Constitutions Article XVI, Section 18, which says
No... County shall incur any indebtedness or liability in any matter, or for
any purpose exceeding in any year the income and revenue provided for such
year, without the assent of two-thirds of the voters of the (County) voting at
an election to be held for that purpose.
Richard Monk, Senior Land Use Partner at Hollister & Brace, and attorney
for Caruso, opined that this provision does not apply because there would
be no County liability or indebtedness. If the TOT is not collected from the
Miramar there is no rebate, meaning it is impossible for the County to have
any present or future taxpayer liability. Caruso believes that if the County still
wanted a deal to add jobs and tax revenues they would ask for an immediate
ruling from the states Attorney General to settle the issue, but this request
from Caruso was denied.
2) The County reasoned that even without the TOT incentive, the Caruso
team would still demolish the rotting cottages and return the site to an accept-
able condition in order to retain its existing, hard-won entitlements which
otherwise would expire on April 6, 2015. Taking down the cottages by year
end was a primary objective of the Montecito Association, and that will hap-
pen, even without the rebate incentive, which was once a pre-condition to
demolition.
3) An independent 3rd party financial feasibility study conducted by
KeyserMarston Associates (KMA), a well-known and respected consulting
firm, was commissioned at the request of the County and paid for by Caruso.
In its executive summary, delivered to the county on November 7, KMA esti-
mated that the development costs for the new-build Miramar Beach Resort &

The Making of a Movie Star
Monte ito
Miscellany
by Richard Mineards
Richard covered the Royal Family for Britains Daily Mirror and Daily Mail before moving to New York
to write for Rupert Murdochs newly launched Star magazine in 1978; Richard later wrote for New York
magazines Intelligencer. He continues to make regular appearances on CBS, ABC, and CNN, and
moved to Montecito five years ago.
A
t the age of 81, former
Hollywood heartthrob Tab
Hunter is coming back to the
big screen!
The longtime Montecito resident,
who wrote the 2006 New York Times
bestseller Tab Hunter Confidential: The
Making of a Movie Star about his col-
orful Tinseltown career, is now hav-
ing it made into a documentary film
by award-winning director Jeffrey
Schwarz, whose latest project Vito,
about gay activist Vito Russo, is cur-
rently airing on HBO.
Filming started earlier this month,
with many locals residents, includ-
ing Darryl Hickman, Don Murray,
Tamara Asseyev and Marilyn Gevirtz
who went to school with Tab
recounting their memories.
It will chronicle Tabs rise to fame
in the fifties and all the scandals that
seems to accompany that, says co-
producer Allan Glaser, his longtime
companion. Hell also share his
memories of his many co-stars like
Natalie Wood, Sophia Loren, Debbie
Reynolds, Rita Hayworth, Lana
Turner, Gary Cooper and John Wayne.
Tab was Warner Brothers number
one box office star from 1955 until
1959, and Warner Brothers Records
was formed specifically for Tab
after his recording of Young Love
knocked Elvis Presley from the top
of the Billboard charts in 1957 and
became one of the largest hits of the
rock n roll era.
The 90-minute film, which will have
the same title as the autobiography,
will also recount Tabs career resur-
gence in the 80s with John Waters
making him a cult star in Polyester
with the late Divine. He then went on
to star in Lust in the Dust, as well as
Grease 2 with Michelle Pfeiffer.
It should hit theaters next fall,
adds Allan, who shares producer cred-
it with former Santa Barbara resident
Octogenarian Tab Hunter back on the screen in

I think a whole new audience will
discover Tab from the film and people
already familiar with him will find it
a fascinating insight into the person
they thought they knew versus his
screen persona. Tab usually doesnt
like all the attention something like
this generates, but sees it as a natu-
ral progression from the book, which
should enjoy a boost in sales as the
publishers intend on printing more
copies to coincide with the films
release.
In connection with the project, top
photographer Bruce Weber, who
shoots advertising campaigns for the
likes of designers Calvin Klein and
Ralph Lauren, has just taken Tabs
photo for the Hollywood issue of the
Conde Nast celebrity glossy, Vanity
Fair, which will be out in February...

Could former TV talk show titan
Oprah Winfrey be getting into the
organic food business?
Several applications for the brand
name Oprahs Organics have
been filed with the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office of late, which would
allow the name to be applied to a wide
variety of products including bath
soaps, massage oils, sunscreen, hair
products and also for organic salad
dressings, frozen vegetables, soups,
beverages and snack dips.
Applications for Oprahs Farm
for a beverage and catering service,
and Oprahs Harvest have also been
submitted.

The best little paper in America
(Covering the best little community anywhere!)
J
eff and I (and everyone involved in
the show) owe a huge Thank You
to you and the Montecito Journal
for last weeks fabulous cover and
feature article on the Santa Barbara
High School Theatre production of The
Drowsy Chaperone.
So many people came to see the show
after reading your article: people who
would never have known about these
wonderful productions. (As you say,
they are The Best Shows in Town.)
Your glowing review not only lifted
the spirits of everyone involved with
this show, you also brought great joy
to the entire community.
Thank you again for your heartfelt
support and appreciation for the arts
and for the youth of Santa Barbara.
Most sincerely,
Nancy and Jeff Barry
Montecito
(Editors note: At the risk of repeating
myself: what a wonderful show it was.
And, I could add, your son, Clayton,
performed admirably. His performance
seemed so natural, one could easily have
left the theater believing he wrote that
part himself. Hats off again to everyone
involved. We love the Santa Barbara High
School theater program! J.B.)
Learning Before
Leaping
I was troubled after reading Learn
Before You Leap (Letters to the Editor,
MJ # 18/46) was written anonymous-
ly. It gets me upset that many of your
readers will believe in what is written
without doing any research and that
can amount to slander if it is not true.
It will be appropriate for the author of
the letter to provide websites that will
verify that these statements prove to
be true from his/her research.
Marciano Rocky Chan
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: Fair enough. We have
since learned that this letter has been
circulating since 2005 and was written
by someone with a bone to pick with one of
these non-profits. Upon further research,
however, we have learned that most of
what he wrote was accurate. The follow-
ing was gleaned from urbanlegends.about.
com: Marsha Evans is no longer head of
the American Red Cross, but her succes-
sor, Gail McGovern, pockets an annual
salary of $500,000 plus having received
a signing bonus of $65,000. Brian
Gallagher continues to head up United
Way; he earned $1,037,140 in 2010.
The current Salvation Army National
Commander, Israel L. Gaither, receives
anywhere from $80,000 to $250,000
a year in compensation. Exact figures
are hard to come by, as the Salvation
Army is a religious organization and
isnt required to reveal those numbers.
UNICEF Executive Director Anthony
Lake currently earns only $201,351, at
least according to a communiqu from
UNICEF, so the letter to the editor claim-
ing he received $1,200,000 in compensa-
tion is apparently wrong; we find it dif-
ficult to believe, however, that his salary
is that low, as all those beneath him must
receive less than that and UN salaries for
many folks are pretty generous. In any
case, its still a good idea to do some per-
sonal research before sending funds off to
non-profits and charities. J.B.)
Evil In The Air
While I am still trying to under-
stand this past election, I have come
to one conclusion: Marxism is alive
and growing in the White House. The
major problem is that a large percent-
age of those who voted do not even
know what Marxism is all about.
Many say that Romney-Ryan did
not get their message across. I believe
that anyone who is educated in his-
tory, common sense and love of the
America we knew, understood their
message very well.
Isnt it wonderful now; Sandra
Fluke will get her free contraception,
welfare checks will increase, jobs will
be lost, taxes will go up, spending will
go over the top for social programs
that have not worked, health care will
slide while premiums will skyrocket
and on and on.
Only in America.
At my advanced age, I am circling
the drain (to coin a phrase); someday
I will leave this Earth with many wor-
ries about my children and grandchil-
dren. But, I will never forget the era in

Cool, Clear Water
After a summer of struggling with a
lack of fresh water, the strings of slime
are taking our time. We wait patiently
for that powerful storm from the north
to come clean out our byways of the
troublemaking parasites that have
been contaminating the pond.
An abundance of clear, life-giv-
ing honest water is anticipated and
expected soon by the trout and me.

Montecito
(Editors note: So, did the recent rain-
storm provide any relief? Montecito
reportedly received over an inch of pre-
cipitation. J.B.)
Freedom Lost
November 6, 2012, will go down
in history as a turning point in
American history. Freedom lost; tyr-
anny won. Barack Obama has been
given the green light to transform
further America into a socialist, big-
government nation. So much for the
Constitution and limited government.
Real America never had chance in
this election. Racism, division, enti-
tlement, illegal immigration, union
intimidation, a biased media, a fawn-
ing Hollywood and attacks on any-
one who disagreed were factors that
contributed to the final outcome.
Adding to the problem, rigged voting
machines, Black Panther threats, and
lack of voter ID requirements.
How will this election affect
America? Simply put, we can look
forward to another recession, more
taxes and regulations, insurmountable
national debt, government controlled
health care and industries, less energy
(destruction of coal industry), grow-
ing power of public sector unions, a
far-left leaning Supreme Court, a dic-
tatorial president and further destruc-
tion of the private sector and the
free market. On the world front, Iran
will get a nuclear bomb, radical Islam
will surge, Israel will stand alone, the
UN will trump American law, and
American influence will continue to
weaken world-wide. All compliments
of the Obama Administration.
Hold onto your hats, America,
things are going to get a lot worse.
The question of the day: will our
Democratic Republic survive? I have
my doubts, and as a result, I am going
into survival mode.
Diana Thorn
Carpinteria
(Editors note: Wow, while the election
results proved disappointing to some of
us, the impending disaster you foresee
will probably be less destructive than you
believe. It is, after all, only four years. We
can recover. And, after borrowing and
then spending an extra trillion or so every
year for the past four years, some good is
bound to emerge. After all, Argentina con-
tinues to function as a country, despite the
destructive Peronist tinge of its politics.
Well probably muddle along at least as
well. J.B.)
Joining Hostess
Hostess walking away from nearly
a century of excellence is just the
beginning. American enterprises are
not going to be held hostage by radi-
cal unions who extort cash from their
employers in order to use that cash to
destroy capitalism.
The best way to thwart ObamaCare
is for American businesspeople to
simply walk away from their busi-
nesses and overwhelm the welfare
state: bring it to its knees. And I
mean that literally. Nobody can force
Americans to work for nothing.
Lincoln abolished slavery 150 years
ago.
The opponents of traditional
America used the tactics of all-out
warfare to bring their enemies to
their knees in order to acquire full
political power. Now, they got it.
Americans must make them rue the
day they ever wanted to overtake this
great nation and make it something
that it isnt, and never was.
The worst thing traditional
Americans can do is acquiesce in
their power.
America, follow the example of
Hostess: Just walk away.
David S. McCalmont
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: Well, that is what Ayn
Rands Atlas Shrugged is all about.
Who knows, perhaps such an exodus will
happen. One can note that other than in
the high-tech area, the best opportunities
in California are in the public sector.
Government jobs and university posi-
tions offer the highest pay and most ben-
efits, all paid for of course by somebody
else down the road. As more entrepre-
neurs leave and more public servants
are enticed by the California model,
something is bound to break. J.B.)
We Learned A Lot
Now that the elections are over, we
can take a moment, raise a glass, and
drink a toast to the winners.
The winners, of course, are those
of us who will no longer be sub-
jected to the incessantly intrusive
political ads from Lois Capps, Abel
Maldonado, and Dianne Feinstein.
From Capps and Maldonado, we
have learned that each of them con-
siders the other to be a liar and a tax
cheat.
From Feinstein, we have learned
that she will go to her grave support-
ing a womans right to choose, unless
that right to choose involves wheth-
er a woman joins a union or not. On
that womans right to choose, her
support is not so much.
From the President, we have learned
that he knew nothing about secu-
rity problems in Benghazi. He knew
nothing about repeated requests for
increased security there. He knew
nothing about the Petraeus sex scan-
dal. He knew nothing about his FBIs
investigation into his CIA chiefs
activities. Further, he knew nothing

Miramar Update
Village Beat
by Kelly Mahan

D
emolition of the 15-
acre Miramar site is
moving forward, despite
disagreements between owner Rick
Carusos team and Santa Barbara
County regarding the county-wide
Hotel Incentive Program (HIP).
Montecito residents have waited
patiently, and theyve waited long
enough, said Carusos Senior Vice
President of Development, Matt
Middlebrook.
On Monday, November 19,
Santa Barbara County Planning &
Development approved a Land Use
Permit for the demolition of all exist-
ing structures on the site. After a
10-day appeal period, demolition of
the site can begin, according to county
planner Errin Briggs.
The application for the permit was
filed late last month, just days after
the Caruso team received word that
the County was done with negotia-
tions related to the hotels participa-
tion in the HIP. In June, the Board
of Supervisors approved the HIP
ordinance package, which would pay
back hoteliers Transient Occupancy
Tax (TOT) monies earned at their hotel
for the first several years of operation.
Hoteliers building a new hotel or ren-
ovating a current hotel in the county
are now eligible to apply for the rebate
program, which involves negotiating
an implementation agreement with
the County.
The agreement between Carusos
team and the County has yet to come
to fruition, with the County not agree-
ing to a 15-year commitment to pay
the rebate, which is estimated at $1.5
million per year. The County says
that not stipulating an annual review
of the agreement goes against state
laws that prohibit taking on long-term
indebtedness.
Last month, Middlebrook sent a
letter to County Executive Officer
Chandra Wallar, requesting that the
County seek a third opinion from the
California Attorney General, to clarify
the Countys legal issues with the
proposed agreement. A response letter
from Ms Waller denied the request.
Weve hit a dead end, and we arent
sure exactly why, Middlebrook said.
Demolition will begin after both the
appeal period and asbestos removal,
but Middlebrook says the disagree-
ment with the County has signifi-
cantly stalled new design plans and
construction. We were hoping to pro-
ceed with more designs and possible
The dilapidated buildings on the Miramar site are closer to being demolished; the County issued a Land
Use Permit for demolition earlier this week

L
ei e Invitato! United Way
invited all the 16th Red Feather
Ball guests to an evening in
Italy. Fess Parkers DoubleTree Resort
ballroom was transformed with all the
walls covered in scenes from a Tuscan
town. This event began in 1997 created
by the late Katherine Abercrombie and
staff after learning how the red feather
came to symbolize giving during the
Depression-era Community Chest
campaigns. It was she who suggested
that the women wear red and the
men red bow ties, and so it remains
today. Katherine was voted by United
Ways Board to be Honorary Chair in
Perpetuity. She is missed.
This evening, the honorees for the
Abercrombie Community Excellence
Awards were Deckers Outdoor
Corporations Angel Martinez, chair-
man, president and CEO since 2005,
and Bob and Val Montgomery. Ron
Werft introduced Deckers, which has
a fascinating history. In 1973 when
penny loafers and wing tips were de
rigueur, UCSB student Doug Otto
began selling sandals at craft fairs.
During a business trip to Hawaii in
1975, he heard his flip-flops called
by a Hawaiian slang word deck-
as, because they resembled a deck
of stacked wood, and thus came
Deckers. The UGG boot was fea-
tured in Oprahs Favorite Things in
2003, and you know the rest.
Deckers pays full-time employees
up to 24 hours every year to volunteer
at nonprofit organizations during nor-
mal working hours. If an employee
logs 100 hours, Deckers awards a
$1,000 grant to the employees favor-
ite charity. Since 2010, employees have
logged 7,828 hours. Deckers motto is

Be good. Do good. Feel good.
My favorite thing is when Deckers
took it upon themselves to create a
boot for Lucky, the Humboldt pen-
guin at the Santa Barbara Zoo who
was born with a foot defect that would
have been life threatening. It took
many tries to succeed, and now Lucky
will have shoes for life, a commitment
made by Deckers. Lucky even has spe-
cial holiday boots. As Cinderella said,
The right shoe can change your life!
Leslie Ridley-Tree introduced Bob
and Val Montgomery, who have been
married 50 years. Each has separate
good works, but have also made
their mark as a couple. They lived in
Los Angeles for many years where
Bob was an attorney and very active
on various boards, and Val ran her
home design and remodeling busi-
ness. After moving here, she worked
with the Womens Auxiliary for Music
Academy of the West chairing events
and working on the board. Bob and Val
have significantly contributed to the
Granada Theatre, Domestic Violence
Solutions, Sansum Clinic and the list
goes on and on. They also chaired the
Red Feather Ball in 2007 and 2008, and
they have held many events in their
home. Theres not room to list all their
good deeds.
This years co-chairs were Ed and
Sue Birch, and Jo and Barry Berkus.
Ann Gursey was emcee and Sean
Kelly led the paddle raise for dona-
tions. United Way CEO Paul Didier
was happy the whole evening was
underwritten so the money raised can
go directly to the United for Literacy
programs, which have helped thou-
sands of kids in town reach their level
in reading.

OSB Gala
Its always cool to drive in front of
the Granada and have a valet atten-
dant there to park your car. Thats
the way Opera Santa Barbara began
its 2012 Gala dinner combined with
the season opening Madame Butterfly
performance.
In the upstairs lobby, they passed
out fans as you checked in. These
were clever IDs for the intermission
reception and the meet the cast post
party. The black tie soire gathered
in the McCune Founders Room for
cocktails and canaps with the local
paparazzi there to record the event.
Our elegant sit down dinner was
served by Rincon Catering and includ-
ed everything Japanese: sushi rolls,
marinated cucumber, seaweed and
watermelon rind topped with a sea-
weed crisp (it was delicious). The fish
had a ginger and lemongrass green
curry sauce with grilled Japanese egg-
plant. The chef had a culinary blast!
Opera Santa Barbara president Joan
Rutkowski welcomed guests to the
opening of the 19
th
season a rather
astounding number of years for a
relatively small town to be able to sup-
port opera. General director Steven
Sharpe pointed out, The four pic-
tures mounted on the walls are of the
four different Madame Butterflys pro-
duced in Santa Barbara.
I thought I was probably the only
person there who hadnt seen Madame
Butterfly or even read a synopsis. As
I asked around, there were others. I
knew there was an unrequited love,
but no wonder Puccini has few dry
eyes at the final curtain. The nave
Geisha falls for a handsome navy lieu-
tenant and they marry. Historically
it was sometimes called marriage by
the month. When he leaves, Butterfly
waits, sure of his return. She has his
baby boy and he returns in three
years, but with an American wife.
They ask to raise the son and Butterfly
knows in Japan the child would be an
outcast so she relents and then kills
herself. I have a friend who was in the
military, and he wont come to this

The singing was top draw-

lead, and Russian Alexey Sayapin
as Lt. Pinkerton. The maid Suzuki
was played by local resident Nina

violin to voice. She was in the late

including a large farm and a bed and

A rep for Oprah, Montecitos most

Food for thought, indeed...
Musi-calendar
Just in time for Christmas, the Santa
Barbara Symphony, which is celebrat-
ing its 60th anniversary, has launched
its first ever calendar.
The lavishly illustrated product fea-
tures programs from its early begin-
nings as the Santa Barbara Orchestra
under the direction of Maurice
Faulkner, and photos of music direc-
tors through the years.
Over six decades there is much
to remember, with so many people
having been part of our history, says
executive director David Grossman.
We were looking for a way to com-
bine a look at our past and present
through images, current season at-a-
glance ease, anecdotes and fun facts.
Fortunately we had access to many
articles and photos over the decades,
but the challenge was telling the story
in a way that could also be a useful
resource on a daily basis.
When the idea of a calendar
emerged, some commented that many
people now use digital devices for that
purpose, but after further discussions
it also seemed that a lot of people still
like the analog approach to viewing
the year, and thus the calendar was
created!
More than 1,500 copies have been
printed, many of which have gone
to donors and sponsors, but they are
also available to anyone whod like
to have a souvenir of the symphony,
which is now under the direction of
Nir Kabaretti.
Each month has its own color
scheme and highlights different facets
of the organization such as education,
community engagement and signif-
icant soloists over the years, adds
David. Its easy to forget how rich our
history is in Santa Barbara and this is a
small way for us to capture those mem-
ories as we also look to the future.

about running a truthful, dignified,
and respectful presidential campaign.
From the presidential debates, we
have learned that the President is
not as likable, nor is he as smart as
his fawning media has pretended
that he is.
From the presidential campaign,
we have learned that negative, dirty,
untruthful, and slimy tactics actually
work.
From the election results, we have
learned that despite the fact that 68%
of those polled who believe that we
are headed in the wrong direction,
that voters have re-elected the per-
son who is leading us in that wrong
direction.
From the last 46 months, we have
learned that Presidential ineptitude,
and deception can be overcome by
the power and majesty of relent-
less accusations of racism.
Finally, we are now encouraged
to rise above all of this and work
together. Good luck with that.
Don Michel
Montecito
(Editors note: I knew we were in
trouble when, during the weekend before
the election, I traveled to Las Vegas to
attend the wedding of a former employee.
While shopping at an outlet mall, I came
across a polling station in the middle
of the mall. Volunteers were harvesting
votes from shoppers, and none of those
in line looked like Romney voters. I dont
know how or even when this early voting
phenomenon has taken over our process,
but it serves us badly and removes much
of the meaning that election day once
had. J.B.)
Back To Private Sector
Well, we all gave it our best. While
we are all disappointed with the
outcome, I wanted you to know
how honored and privileged I was
to have such great supporters. From
the bottom of my heart, I want to say
Thank You. A candidate could not
have better supporters. You not only
talked the talk, but you walked the
walk.
It may not change the outcome,
but you should know Ive been told
that I outperformed party registra-
tion in the final outcome better than
any other Republican that ran for
any office in California on Tuesday.
So it is back to the private sector
where I have always made more
money than I ever have in public ser-
vice. On that front, I will be resuming
my law practice starting December 1,
2012. My expertise is in the area of
real property-land use, government,
environmental and business law. If
you ever have any needs for legal
representation in these areas, I hope
you would give consideration to my
representing your interests.
Again, thanks for all your hard
work in helping the cause. Dont
give up, as too much is at stake. But
as we go forth, please keep the fol-
lowing words written by Alexis de
Tocqueville over 230 years ago in his
two-volume Democracy in America.
A democracy cannot exist as a per-
manent form of government. It can
only exist until the voters discov-
er that they can vote themselves
largesse from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the major-
ity always votes for the candidates
promising the most benefits from the
public treasury with the result that
a democracy always collapses over
loose fiscal policy, always followed
by a dictatorship. The average age of
the worlds greatest civilizations has
been 200 years.
And finally, with the holidays just
around the corner, let me be one
of the first to wish you and yours
a happy, safe and merry holiday
season. And yes, I will be politi-
cally incorrect and even say Merry
Christmas.

The Katy Perry Affair
COMInG & GOInG Page 324
O
ffcially, it was the Dream
Foundations 11
th
Annual
Celebration of Dreams;
unoffcially, it was the Katy Perry
Affair, held at the Bacara ballroom
and attended by some 565 Dream
Foundation supporters. It is, I believe,
the most attended and now most
anticipated non-proft fundraiser
in the Santa Barbara area. And, the
Dream Foundation not only began
here as Dalmatian Dreams over 18
years ago in 1994, so did Katy Perry
herself, somewhat earlier. Im proud
to call myself a second-generation
Santa Barbarian, she said to cheers
and whistles from this nights well-
dressed (black-tie optional) gathering
before accepting her Humanitarian
Award.
Thomas Rollerson founded the
non-profit after his then life partner
passed away and Tom discovered
there was no organization set up to
help adults with some of the trauma
and expenses involved in caring for
someone with a terminal illness. The
Dream Foundation has since become
the largest organization of its kind in
the U.S.
Champagne (donated and import-
ed by Doug Margerum) and wine
(donated by Bridlewood) were hand-
ed to attendees as they arrived; hon-
ored celebrities were photographed
entering via a red carpet. When the
doors to the ballroom opened, we sat
down to a prepared three-course din-
ner created by Iron Chef Cat Cora and
prepared by Chef David Reardon.
The salad featured endive, arugula,
radicchio, shaved Parmesan, roasted
beets, chopped pistachios, and goat
cheese crostini mixed with a tanger-
ine vinaigrette. The entre was either
a Basque filet mignon or a vegan-
gluten-free selection. The chocolate
torchon with coconut almond Rocher,
strawberry passion fruit cheesecake
with wild strawberry puree was choc-
olaty enough to put a smile even on
choco-fanatic Erin Graffys face.
After dinner and after a short film
outlining what the Dream Foundation
is and what it does (and does so
well), first up was actress Marcia Gay
Harden, who related a heart-wrench-
ing but hilarious account of taking
care of her Alzheimers afflicted moth-
er. I now sleep with my mother,
Ms Harden said, resigned to her new
domestic situation. My life is now so
dysfunctional, she said, that she was
going to pitch a sitcom called Ill
Never Get Laid Again.
Marcia explained too that she bought

Benefitting Antioch
near and Farrell
On Entertainment
by Steven Libowitz
B
oth Holly Near and Mike
Farrell can count iconic
television series on their acting
resums. But what singer-songwriter
Near and actor Farrell have even more
in common is a passion for social
activism.
Both have been involved in numer-
ous causes over the years, from pro-
testing the Vietnam War to trying to
end the death penalty, and from wom-
ens rights to PETA. And while theyve
shared stages at special events in the
past, theyll be performing together
for the first time when they appear at
Hahn Hall Wednesday night in a ben-
efit for Antioch Universitys scholar-
ship fund. Despite the intimate venue
Hahn Hall seats only 300 tickets
are a reasonable $75.
The format calls for the pair to
address various social issues and
celebrate the inspirational history of
social change. Farrell, who memora-
bly starred as Captain B.J. Hunnicutt
on the long-running TV hit M*A*S*H,
will speak about each topic followed
by Near, who has released more than
30 recordings in a 45-year career, offers
songs that relate to that specific issue.
Near talked about her career and
the Wednesday event via email late
last week.
Q. Id forgotten that you started out as
an actress, Mod Squad, Room 222, All
in the Family, The Partridge Family,
and even the movie Slaughterhouse-
Five. Tell me about those days. What
stands out?
A. I was very young, going to school
at UCLA. An agent saw my work and
Singer-songwriter Holly Near will accompany actor
Mike Farrell at a benefit for Antioch University on
Wednesday, November 28 in Hahn Hall at Music

I was back East doing a film. When
the film was over, the agent asked if I
would like to do Hair (on Broadway)
for a while. It had been running for
about two years and the cast was
changing. But while doing the show,
the students were killed at Kent State
while protesting US invasion into
Cambodia. The cast did a protest from
the stage. Not so long after, I returned
to L.A. and as odd as it may seem,
I met one of the students who had
been shot but survived. He asked me
if I would write a song for the annual
memorial. This kind of thing kept
happening. People kept inviting me to
do work in social change movements.
Turned out, I was good at it. And I also
was noticing how a lot of the anti-war
songs were written from a mans point
of view. So I began to write about my
experiences, working with Vietnam
Veterans Against the War and the
United Farm Workers. And of course
the womens movement was grow-
ing by leaps and bounds. I was swept
along. It is important to note that it
was not the sixties. It was the seven-
ties and eighties. Sometimes people
forget how vibrant each decade can
be. The one right now is pretty damn
vibrant!
Why has music been such a big part of
social evolution?
I believe that music can be heal-
ing, challenging, educational, inspir-
ing and entertaining. It can help us
feel strong when we are afraid, help
us sleep when we are haunted by
nightmares, teach us valuable lessons,
remind us that we are not alone, and
much more. It can also hurt us. It can
make us believe something that is
not true. Its very powerful. I take its
power seriously. I know how much I
learned through music as I was grow-
ing up so when I began to work pro-
fessionally, I tried to remember that a
song is never just a song.
You started singing in an era when
music really did affect social change. Is
that still true today with our fractured
methods of communication, and the polar-
ized population?
The next generation has incredible
songs. They are changing one another
constantly with their music. They are
dancing and writing poetry and mak-
ing films and murals. There is no
doubt in my mind that music is still in
the forefront of the ways in which we
identify ourselves.
Do you have thoughts about the roles,
rights, and responsibilities of entertain-
ers singer-songwriters in particular
in speaking their minds and engaging
in social discussions, versus the shut-up-
and-sing mentality?
I have sung in Carnegie Hall and
from the back of a flatbed truck in
the rain in support of striking nurses.
And my audience has been there for
me just as I have been there for them.
I am not good at separating what I
believe from who I am as an artist. If I
had been forced to do that, I probably
would have shriveled up or created a
protective stone cold shell around my
heart
Not all artists will have that con-
nection. But many do If an artist
is not a humanitarian, then they just
arent. Im not sure rights and respon-
sibility has much to do with it.
You were an early feminist, linking it
to anti-war protest, and came out as a
lesbian back in the mid-1970s. Although
youve been in a relationship with a man
for almost twenty years, Im wondering
first what you think about whats been
happening with the evolution of gay mar-
riage.
Well, I was actually an early antiwar
activist who then linked up my global
politics to feminism. I was very influ-
enced by the idea that the personal is
political. And since we are creatures
of love and passion and sexuality, it
seemed natural for sexuality to be part
of the conversation. I never felt a great
urge to identify my sexuality except as
it related to human rights. It seemed
as long as people were being killed for
who they loved, then it was important
for everyone, allies alike, to be out.
I am not a great fan of marriage. I
think, if anything, marriage should
be a spiritual ceremony where by the
couple asks their friends and family
to honor the relationship. But I am a
proponent of equality so if marriage
is what straight people want then gay
people ought to have it as well. And
there is no doubt that the issue of
marriage equality has offered society a
chance to educate itself on homopho-
bia and begin the long journey of
rising out of our least attractive char-
acteristic of intolerance and becoming
the loving human beings that we are
fully capable of being. And for that, I
am grateful.
And while were on current issues,
what was your reaction, as an avowed
activist, to the Occupy movement? Why
hasnt it taken hold and in fact has basi-
cally receded. What can be done?
It took hold just fine. Its goal was
not to become a political party. It did
what it set out to do many times over.
Shortly after Occupy began, everyone
from politicians to religious communi-
ties to artists to talk show hosts were
all talking about the economy and
inequity. No one had been able to get
that conversation on the table and
Occupy jump-started it with great
creativity and energy. It has already
done its job. Why would anyone call
it a failure?
Lets talk about what youre doing here
next week. How did this show come about?
Why is it important for you to support a
scholarship fund at Antioch here in Santa
Barbara? Have you worked with Mike
Farrell before?
A friend of a friend asked me to do
the fundraiser. It meant interrupting
the CD tour, but I have known Mike
Farrell for years and I didnt want to
pass up the opportunity to cross paths
with him. And I believe in education.
In my perfect world, no one should
have to pay for knowledge. To me,
an educated people is the most valu-
able national security we could ever
hope for. Humans were given these
amazing minds and the capacity to
do extraordinary things. This event
is a little pricey since it is to raise
big bucks. I hope people who have
the means will buy tickets. Michael
and I are going to do a swapping of
ideas through word and song. He
will read works by great writers and
activists and I will sing songs that
weave in and around the themes pre-
sented. However, for those who cant
afford it, I will be back in February to
do the CD concert at SOhO.
A nack for Reindeer
Santa Claus only had eight reindeer.
Santa Barbara artist Brad Nack has
gotten up close and personal with
about 100 times as many.
The painter began creating his
whimsical abstract oils of the antlered
animals in the mid-1990s as a singular
Christmas gift, but visitors who saw
them at a private home requested
more, and within a couple of years
the miniature reindeer paintings had
become an annual holiday happening.
The tiny works they come in two
sizes: 4 x 5 and 5 x 7 and now
range in price from $125 to $250 cap-
ture the critters in all sorts of poses,
moods and expressions, and burst
with color and odd shapes.
This year, they number more than
120, although 40 of them have already
been shipped off for a special show
in Florida. The first local batch get
unveiled next Thursday at Nacks old
stomping grounds at Restaurant Roy,
where youd best arrive before the
opening at 6 pm if you want a shot at
taking one home. (Dont worry if you
cant make it, though another group
of 40 go on sale at SOhO on December
14).
Nack himself never thought hed
make it past year four.
Its a bit weird having such a lim-
ited endeavor, he said. Back then I
thought, I just cant do this anymore.
But the following year I had a break-
through and realized that because Im
painting the same subject things open
up differently with every painting. I
just keep going and see where it takes
me. They reveal themselves to me. Its
like putting together a puzzle, so it
never gets tiring because I never know
what the end result is going to be.
What he has noticed is how the
paintings often seem to mirror events
in his own life or whats happening in
a larger scope in the world.
I think in a way that theyre self-
Brad Nacks tiny reindeer paintings will be on
display for purchase at Restaurant Roy Thursday,

T
he Spirit of the West, the Santa
Barbara Historical Museums
latest exhibition, offcially
opened last week with an intimate
gathering of those who made it
possible. Guests entering the Sala
Gallery were greeted by 30 works
depicting the American West by
Swedish-born artist Carl Oscar Borg,
who left the poverty of his life in
Europe to seek his destiny in the new
world in 1901.
Borgs life story makes compelling
reading as he overcame almost insur-
mountable obstacles to become one
of the most noted and versatile artists
of his day. From 1914 until 1930, Borg
lived and painted in Santa Barbara,
becoming great friends with other
notable local artists, Ed Borein and
Colin Campbell Cooper.
The exhibition was developed by
the Museums chief curator, Daniel
Calderon, and President of the Board
of Trustees, Marlene Miller, a long-
time devotee of Borgs art, which she
feels imbues the genre of landscape
painting with vitality and emotion.
Curator Daniel Calderon says that
Borg was able to express the essence of
the West through a complex reflection
between himself, the native people,
and their landscape. Commissioned
by the U.S. Government to paint tribal
ceremonies of the Southwest Indians,
Borg developed a deep connection to
the native peoples who trusted him
to accurately and soulfully represent
their deepest beliefs.
The exhibition is composed of eth-
nographic studies and sweeping land-
scapes of the American West, includ-
ing Santa Barbara. Adept with multi-
ple media, Borg achieved distinct and
various effects when using guache,
watercolor, woodblock or oil, and the
exhibition has examples of all.
Annelie and Barry Lockton, who
loaned the Museum five paintings,
acquired their collection from his
aunt, a relative of Madeline Carriel
Borg, Carl Oscars wife. Locktons
aunt had kept the paintings seques-
tered for years, and it is relatively
recently that they have been shared
with the general public.
In California, Borg worked first as a
scene painter for the fledgling movie
industry, and after his first exhibition
in 1905, he became recognized for
his talent. Phoebe Apperson Hearst
became his patron and sent him to
Europe to study for four years.
He taught at the School of the
Arts in Santa Barbara from 1918-24.
Afterwards, he spent 12 springs in the
Southwest and also worked as artis-
tic director for many motion pictures
including The Black Pirate (1926) star-
ring Douglas Fairbanks and The Viking
(1928) starring Ronald Colman. (Both
actors had strong connections to Santa
Barbara, as well.)
Borg was stranded in Sweden dur-
ing WWII and returned to find Santa
Barbara and the world a very differ-
ent place. He died in Santa Barbara
in 1947.
Through the generous support
of Ernest A. Bryant, III, William
S. Burtness, Louise Clarke, John
Carbon, Astrid and Lawrence
Hammett, Warren Miller, and Eleanor
van Cott, the public has the opportu-
nity to visit this vital accumulation
of Borgs work.
Now open, the exhibition runs
through March 10, 2013 and can be
visited Tuesday through Saturday, 10
am to 5 pm and Sundays noon to
5 pm. The Santa Barbara Historical
Museum is located at 136 East De la
Guerra Street. MJ

portraits, explained Nack, who has
also curated art shows at Michael/
Kate Interiors for the last 18 months.
(The next show there opens December
7.) Or at least they reflect different
feelings Im having as Im making
them. Theyre personal. But its an
opposite correlation. Back after 9-11,
when there was so much tension as
the country geared up for war and
was going through the anthrax scare,
all of my reindeer were so happy
looking. I just had to make them be
cheerful. I wasnt even conscious of it
until I looked back. And when things
are going good, I put more pensive
expressions into them, which is what
theyve seemed like lately.
Of course, the best part of the mini-
masterpieces is that the subjects are
so wonderfully abstract, owners can
read whatever they want into the
paintings. Which is why buyers return
year after year to add to their collec-
tion.
Some people display them only at
the holidays while others leave them
up all year, and all over their houses,
Nack said. They love to switch them
around. I just appreciate that people
still seem to love them.
Sons of Jersey Boys
The four members of Under the
Streetlamp, the all-male quartet that
performs a revue of popular radio
hits of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, all had
roles in various touring casts of Jersey
Boys, the 2006 Tony Award-winning
Broadway jukebox musical about the
life of and featuring music by
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
During a long stay in Chicago, the
quartet got together on the shows off
nights to perform similar material in
nightclubs and for benefits. Audience
response was so strong, however, that
when the show closed, they decid-
ed to turn their love for the period
music into a career, creating Under the
Streetlamp as its own touring musical
revue, recreating the hits on concert
stages far beyond the Windy City.
Streetlamp makes its Santa Barbara
debut next Thursday, November
29, at the Granada, with another
spawned ensemble as opening act.
Gentlemans Rule serves as a chaser
for the a capella group Straight No
Chaser. Founded by Don Ponce the
creator, first music director and for-
mer member of Straight No Chaser
Gentlemans Rule is a 10-member a
capella group also based in Chicago
that is also embarking on its first
national tour.
Streetlamps Michael Cunio, a
Chicago native, filled us in on the
groups gestation and progress.
Q. What prompted forming your own
group while you were still doing Jersey
Boys?
A. We were having a lot of fun
onstage within our roles, but there
was so much more we wanted to do.
Jersey Boys is a wonderful show, but
youre singing the same thing night
after night. And these outside concerts
gave us a chance to flex our muscles
and have some creative control over
the repertoire. Outside of the context
of the show we could just be ourselves,
be a lot more wild, and let our own
personalities out.
Were the shows producers supportive of
your own endeavor?
We were very respectful and we
made sure there was no brand confu-
sion. When we did this on our nights
off, we didnt cross over the mate-
rial. And that was what actually what
allowed us to discover all this great
music, the old time rock n roll beyond
the Four Seasons. And what we do
now is so different.
Were you surprised that it grew into its
own production?
Oh yeah, none of us intended for
it to become what it has. We figured
we would just have fun with it until
Jersey Boys ended. But people were
moved and entertained by what we
did on stage. Audiences were starving
for this music, which is so enduring.
And then when PBS took notice and
did that special, we knew we could
keep going.
What is the appeal of this music for four
young guys like yourselves, so young that
you certainly didnt hear these songs on
the radio while you were growing up?
But we did, because of our parents.
Whatever differences my mom and I
had in the music we wanted to listen
to, we always agreed on the oldies
station. And I think what were most
proud of and really make an effort to
do is that as much as we have a con-
temporary sensibility, we are trying to
reinterpret these great old songs with
the manner they were created in the
first place. I think thats what makes
us similar to artists like Michael Bubl,
Amy Winehouse or John Legend. This
music lends itself to a more honest
interpretation.
Why do you think the revue is so popu-
lar? What is it about the music that makes
it enduring?
Our audience is varied: people who
heard it when it was new, and their
kids and grandkids. Some of our big-
gest fans are teenagers or kids. I think
its the lack of cynicism thats part
of the appeal. Theres a real joyful-
ness and simplicity. Everything in
pop music now is so affected and
abused by technology. But this music
is not about crazy beats and samples.
Theres a real melody, lyrics that strike
a chord and mean something and that
magical thing that happens when you
layer voices together. What we took
from the Jersey Boys experience was
learning both how to sing as one voice
and to harmonize. Theres just some-
thing special that happens.
Tell me about the repertoire: how do
you choose the material? And how do you
divide up who sings lead on what?
We like to spread it around. When
somebody brings a song in, its usu-
ally clear who should be singing
lead. We have very distinct voices
and approaches. So it really is pretty
organic. We feel like were brothers, so
our process is very collaborative. We
do bicker and fight, but were family
first. So whoever is most passionate
about a song or an arrangement usu-
ally gets their way. We all have our
individual strengths, too. Im the one
who gets to sing Aretha and Etta
James. It feels like Im paying tribute
to my heroes. We all do that. Were
standing on their shoulders and its
a great way to say thanks. They have
brought us a lot of joy and hopefully
were passing it on.
Ive read where you view the show as
breaking down the fourth wall. How do
you close the gap between performer and
audience?
It comes from how we started, sing-
ing this music on our nights off from
Jersey Boys, just for our own enjoy-
ment. As the creators, we always went
with what we wanted to do. And I
think our joy and connection is infec-
tious. Even if the set list is similar, its
never the same show every night. We
respond to the audience. And that
keeps it fresh. Weve had people get
up and dance the whole time, scream
at the stage and talk back to us, or
even come up and stomp on the stage,
and we love it all. Sometimes people
just sit there and listen, which is OK
too Weve been compared to the Rat
Pack, which is over the top because

Thanksgiving Facts
Mr. Alexander is a profes-
sor emeritus of American
History and longstand-
ing chairman, CEO, and
Executive Director of the
Santa Barbara County
Commission on Human and
Extraterrestrial Relations
W
ith the education of
Americas youth being
in the sad state that it is, I
thought Id remind our youngsters
of some fun Thanksgiving facts that
probably arent taught in our public
schools any longer. Such as, the frst
Thanksgiving was celebrated by the
Plymouth Pilgrims, Americas frst
NFL expansion team. The football
team sailed here from England on
three ships named the Nina, the Pinta,
and the Santa Claus, while the teams
owners came over on the Queen Mary
II. The frst Thanksgiving celebration
started with a football game against
an indigenous team called the
Washington Redskins. After the
game, the teams celebrated
with a big feast. The Redskins
introduced the Pilgrims to
maize, and the Pilgrims
introduced the Redskins to
light beer. After the Redskins
got hammered, the Pilgrims
made them eat turnips, green
bean casserole, and mincemeat
pie. And then Donald Trump
stole their land and built a
bunch of casinos.
Though some of the
above Thanksgiving facts
may be disputed by a few
fusspot historians, the fol-
lowing facts are indisputable because
I got them off the Internet.
Benjamin Franklin, quite the gob-
bler himself, wanted the turkey to be
the national bird of the United States.
If old Ben had gotten his way, we
could all be having bald eagle for din-
ner on Thanksgiving, and Glenn Frey,
Don Henley, Joe Walsh & Timothy
B. Schmit might be known as The
Turkeys.
Sarah Josepha Hale, the author of
the nursery rhyme Mary Had a Little
Lamb persuaded President Lincoln to
declare Thanksgiving a national holi-
day. The Internet didnt say how Ms.
Hale persuaded President Lincoln,
but I can visualize the headline if
the Enquirer Magazine were around
back then Sarah Hale Persuades
Honest Abe with Her Fleece as White
as Snow and Next Year We May Be
Eating Mutton on Thanksgiving.
In 1939, President Roosevelt pro-
claimed that Thanksgiving would
take place on the 23 of November
instead of the 30, as a way to spur
economic growth and extend the
Christmas shopping season. Rumor
has it that President Obama, with our
economy in such bad shape and using
the same logic, wanted to proclaim
Thanksgiving on July 5, but, alas,
the Republicans threatened another
filibuster.
The average American eats more
than two pounds of turkey on
Thanksgiving. Just one more example
of how Im far superior than the aver-
age American.
The heaviest turkey ever reported
weighed 86 pounds, about the size of
a large dog. Or one Olsen twin.
A large group of turkeys is called
a flock or a rafter. A group of
twelve turkeys is called the
2012 U.S. Ryder Cup team.
Male turkeys gobble,
while female turkeys cluck.
And cluck, and cluck, and
cluck, and...
A fifteen-pound turkey
usually has about 70 percent
white meat and 30 percent
dark meat. Theres a joke here
somewhere but Im not going
to touch it with a ten-foot
pole because I havent been
summoned to the Human
Relations Commission since
my Thirteen Ways to Know
Youve Hired The Wrong Gardener
column in 1999, and I plan to keep it
that way.
The average weight of a turkey pur-
chased at Thanksgiving is 15 pounds.
The average amount of beer and wine
consumed on Thanksgiving is what
the French call Le Crapload.
All turkeys have a wattle as well
as a dangly appendage known as a
snood. And wouldnt you know it;
female turkeys prefer males with long
snoods. I, for one, wont be happy
until a turkey is finally judged by the
content of his character, not the length
of his snood.
Californians are the largest consum-
ers of turkey in the United Sates.
California also has the most hams.
A sixteen-week-old turkey is called
a fryer. A five- to seven-month old
turkey is called a young roaster. A
thirty- to eighty-year old turkey is
called a United States Senator. Any
turkey more than eighty years old
is simply referred to as a Strom
Thurmond.
There you have it, Montecitans.
Please have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Next month Ill write a Christmas Fact
column. Heres a teaser a group call-
ing themselves The Holiday Birthers
asserts neither Santa Claus, Kris
Kringle, nor Saint Nick can produce a

BOOK TALK
by Shelly Lowenkopf
Home on Rye
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.
M
ark Twain, who courted
immortality the way a cat
pursues catnip, spoke of
immortality applying to a writer
whose work was still in print thirty
years after death. Many of Twains
works are in plentiful availability a
hundred years after his demise.
Henry James (1843-1916), a near
contemporary of Twain, and in many
ways even more a writers writer than
Twain, but not quite the readers writ-
er, is also nearing the century anniver-
sary of his death. Much of his output
remains in print today, including the
one novel many critics, academics,
and readers consider not only his
greatest accomplishment, but also the
single most important of American
novels, Portrait of a Lady.
Toward the end of his life, at
home in the small Sussex town of
Rye (down the Channel from Dover),
he experienced the effects of being
famous, but not nearly so up in sales
as he wished. His good friend, Edith
Wharton, might sell well enough to
buy an automobile. But his royalty
checks would only cover the cost of a
wheelbarrow.
Insightful, meticulous, and inno-
vative as he was, James was neither
the public idol Twain was, nor did
his prose draw the astute and the
unlettered to read him. His remark-
able family background and his
acute awareness of the need for fic-
tion to move away from the traffic
directions and stage management of
the author, brought him to consider
the thoughts and sensitivity of the
character.
In 1880, at age thirty-six, hed pub-
lished enough to reach the unassail-
able conclusion that he was at the
peak of his powers of observation, of
psychology, and of dramatic intensity.
His considerations of character and
motivation produce long, complex
sentences, which reward the reader
and invite the reader back for yet
another reading, yet you can hear
the groans go up when students are
brought face to face with his short
fiction and novels for the first time.
James is not an easy go.
Michael Gorras remarkable new
book, Portrait of a Novel: Henry James and
the Making of an American Masterpiece,
from Liveright Publishing, is an easy
go; it is the book I wish Id had
when first brought to study Jamess
work. Part autobiography, part liter-
ary detective work, part close-to-the-
surface admiration, it reveals how The
Portrait of a Lady came to be written,
then revised twenty-five years later.
How appropriate for Gorra, who
professes literature at Smith College,
to have performed yet another
remarkable work. The Norton Critical
Edition of William Faulkners As I
Lay Dying, itself an innovative-yet-
difficult novel, quite possibly influ-
enced by the effects of Portrait of a
Lady.
Portrait is the wrenching narrative
arc of Isabel Archer, a highly evolved,
independent American heiress, who
before our eyes refuses marriage with
two eminent suitors, only to accept
the proposal of Gilbert Osmond. The
marriage proves disastrous, leading to
Chapter 42, what many James readers
and critics consider not only the fin-
est moment in an electric and awful
awareness, but in all of American
literature.
With Gorra as guide to deconstruct
that chapter, we get a full account
of the inner [Isabels] life, a vision
that changes our very sense of what
counts as an event in fiction. The
results of these pages and their sub-
sequent events help us trace lines
to Faulkner, to James Joyce, and to
Virginia Woolf. We also become intro-
duced to an archetypal James charac-
ter, brought to stunning life in the per-
son of Madame Merle, a formidable
antagonist.
Portrait of a Novel has five sections,
leading us through the background of
Jamess early career, the forces behind
his selection of Isabel Archer as his
protagonist, and how her desires for
and definition of freedom may be
seen as representing the psychological
visions James shared with his famed
brother, William, and as well as a par-
allel to the emergence of America as a
moral force and the political forerun-
ners of feminism.
Gorra takes us through the con-
ventions and formats related to pub-
lishing during Jamess time, making
for interesting comparisons with the
results and consequences of todays
book trade.
One wisdom attaches itself to the
novels and short stories of Henry
James: they merit and bear frequent
reading. The same is true of Michael
Gorras literary treasure. MJ

Elmo Early Schools
Annual Book Faire
T
he El Montecito Early School
annual Book Faire launched
Sunday, November 11 after
church services with enormous
success, thanks to the generous
donations and purchases from
parishioners. As it continued through
Wednesday, November 13, MJ was
there to document the fundraiser for
the new school library book collection,
a valuable resource for children in an
age when print materials are being
replaced with Kindles, iPads and
other digital devices.
Four years ago, school director Suzy
Dobreski with her then office man-
ager, Amy McFarlane, designed the
Book Faire to raise funds to increase
the number of books in the Early
School. They worked with Tecolotes
owner Mary Sheldon to coordinate
the book sale. Every year, Mary brings
over 80 different titles of kids books
to sell, in addition to the Wish List
books each Early School teacher gives
to her. Mary gives the school approxi-
mately 20% of the books that are sold.
The Wish List books are grouped
by classroom. Shoppers who donate
the funds for a teacher are honored
with a bookplate bearing their name
and the year donated. Books are also
available for purchase to take home,
and reading to children is encouraged
by the school.
Each book purchased is gift
wrapped in hand-decorated paper by
the students, which starts with archi-
tecture paper donated by parishioner
Thomas Ochsner. Outdoor classroom
teacher Mr. Markus has the kids place
the paper in a cardboard box with golf
balls and tempura paints. The unique
designs develop as the kids hold the
cardboard box together to roll the golf
balls around with the paint over the
paper. While still wet with paint, the
kids add glitter.

what was called a singing mat to
put on the floor on her mothers side
of the bed so that when Mom gets up
at 3:30 4:30 5:30 to use the rest-
room, I get out of bed to help her so
she wont fall. Whenever her mother
steps on the mat, it sings. It has three
settings, she explains. I opted not for
the siren; I opted not for Edelweiss; I
opted for, You are my sunshine, my
only sunshine.
Upon awakening and helping her
mother to the bathroom, she would
then find the remote and turn it off.
Im especially grateful tonight, she
says with a great big smile, because
the tenors have agreed to record
Hallelujah for my mat.
The (formerly Canadian) Tenors, of
course, were the four gentlemen who
had just sung that aforementioned
song, along with a couple other num-
bers, including Katy Perrys hit, Hot
N Cold. The Tenors (Fraser Walters,
Victor Micallef, Remigio Pereira, and
Clifton Murray) too had a funny story
to tell. This past summer they per-
formed for Queen Elizabeth during
her Diamond Jubilee celebration at
Windsor Castle. We were asked to
sing God Save The Queen, along
with Hallelujah and Oh Canada,
one of the Tenors related. We didnt
know the words to God Save The
Queen, he said, laughing, but Victor
wrote a quick four-part harmony and
we learned it quickly.
Each of the three elegantly dressed
co-chairs for the evening Bui Simon,
Jelinda DeVorzon, and Mireille
Noone gave heartfelt short talks
promoting the Dream Foundation.
Priscilla Presley, who was introduced
to the Dream Foundation through a
Dreamers dream at Graceland some
years back and consequently became
the Foundations celebrity spokes-
man, also offered a few words of
comfort and praise for the work the
Foundation does.
In the beginning of Thomas
Rollersons talk, he joked that he had
decided to tender his resignation and
go on the road with the Tenors in
the wardrobe department.
One poignant moment featured
Toms mention of Shari Parrish,
whose daughter, Sarah Parrish, was
at last years event and spoke by his
side. She passed away in February.
Shari called a couple days ago, Tom
began, and she said, You know Tom,
when I think of my daughter, I dont
think of cancer any more. I think of the
joy she experienced from her dream
and I remember the love that she got
from all your supporters at the gala
last year. Thats my memory of my
daughter.
Tom informed those present that
just two weeks ago the Dream
Foundation had been classified once
again as a Charity Navigator Four-
Star Organization, which means it has
been found to be an Exceptional
non-profit, whose standards Exceeds
industry standards and outperforms
most charities in its cause.
Tom thanked David Merrell for the
production designs, and most espe-
(from left) Randall Shulman, Heather Hodina, and Kelly Jensen Magne seemed to have enjoyed the

Then, the familiar (though pre-
recorded) voice of Morgan Freeman
intoned that so far the Dream
Foundation has supplied 15,000
dreams.
Every beat of the drum you hear
will represent a dream come true. In
light of such big numbers, never do
we lose sight of one. One Dream. One
Family. One life lived. It starts with
one. A host of drummers appeared
on stage to pound that message home
as visual images of the many whove
received a wish flashed on the screen
behind. Perhaps as many as 100 peo-
ple, certainly more than 50, stood
when asked to donate $1,000 apiece.

eers. Grants fulltime job is as a live
auctioneer, so he kept things moving
smoothly and quickly. When Jennifer
Tilly was introduced as an Academy
Award-nominated actress and a 2005
World Series of Poker (Ladies Only)
winner, she said she thought to her-
self, they must be talking about me.
Im probably not the only actress
in the room whos been nominated for
an Academy Award, she said as she
got on stage, but Im probably the
only one that played poker.
I made it, she said breathlessly.
Im sitting at my table. Im trying to
be good; trying not to sweat off my
makeup so it wont crack; I tried not
to drink so I wont be a sloppy drunk
up here on stage because this is a very
important event.
But, when I got up on stage, she
says with a laugh, I think my eye-
lashes fell off and I think I may have
drunk too much.
We dont know about that, but lets
call her auctioneering abilities enthu-
siastic and leave it at that. She was
fun though, and among the three of
them they produced an impressive
number of high bids for the nine live
auction items that included a Baby
Taylor guitar signed (and delivered)
by Katy Perry that went for $23,000.
nigels Speech
After the auction, Nigel Lythgoe,
American Idol producer, was intro-
duced and gave the speech of the
night, nearly all of which we reprint
here:
Nigel first commented with
as broad a smile as his handsome
60-something face could muster that
he was sorry Simon Cowell couldnt
join the crowd this evening, as he was
suffering from a series of self-inflict-
ed love bites.
When the laughter (and groans)
died down, and after thanking the
three committee co-chairs, fellow hon-
oree and all, he began anew.
I must be honest. I give back for
selfish reasons, he explained. Firstly,
because I can, and secondly, I enjoy it.
Honestly, I know I get more than I

room had one thing in common:
One day, were all going to die. I
know it sounds gloomy but thats the
irony of it; that no one gets out of life
alive.
I never realized my own invulnera-
bility until I had a heart attack in 2003.
Even then, I had a great stent implant
and I was back at work in about a
week. You know, Mr. Super Hero.
The Mighty Avenger. Thor. Captain
America. Randy Jackson. It was very
stupid to rush back, but I guess I am
stupid.
God must like stupid people
though; he makes enough of them.
Anyway, Ive got to tell you this
story: I was feeling really, really good;
there was a smile on my face as I was
just reading the X-Factor ratings
Sorry Tom, and Trish So I decided
to take myself to the movies.
Im sitting there in the cinema and
all of a sudden I just couldnt get any
air. I was gasping for air. I literally
staggered out to the lobby and col-
lapsed and said to the popcorn girl,
Can you call an ambulance?
And thank God she did because I
duly passed out. I then found myself
at UCLA Hospital and after several
tests they realized Id had a cardiac
arrest. If theyd have known I might
be dancing tonight, maybe I wouldnt
have needed the pacemaker or defi-
brillator they put in my chest last
week.
It just goes to show, because after
that experience, Im awfully scared. I
realize that my life can cease at any
time. I wake up in the morning now
and, Im lucky when I do. Maybe
some morning Ill be even luckier; Ill
get up and Ill hear, You are my sun-
shine, my only sunshine
The laughter finally died down and
allowed Nigel to conclude:
They say our Dreamers have a life
expectancy of a year or less. To quote
the Dream Foundation itself, they say
on their website, While we cannot
cure their diseases, we can dramati-
cally affect the quality of their frag-
ile lives. The joy experienced from a
dream come true.
Through my work with Idol and
Dance, Ive been given the ability to
impact lives too. I can make dreams
come true and I feel very blessed to be
in that position.
I really do appreciate this acknowl-
edgement Im being given tonight,
and I promise you that I will continue
to do right by it. I will remain stead-
fast in my philosophy that at the end
of the day, real success can only be
measured by those you have helped
A seemingly inde-
fatigable (though
tired) Katy Perry

graciously posed

tos as were asked
of her; here, she

Kira Redmond, executive director.
We also educate and enforce.
Im on the beach twice a day, so I
really appreciate the pristine condi-
tion everything is kept in, Gretchen
told the 60 guests. It really is so
important for all of us.
Among those making a splash
for the cause were Jack and Judy
Stapelmann, Dan and Rae Emmett,
Leslie Bhutani, Craig and Sherry
Madsen, and Holly and Lanny

Unity Shoppe Bash
Guests at the Unity Shoppes pre-
Christmas party to draw attention
to its $3-million capital campaign, as
it adds 12,000-sq-ft of much needed
space to the Unity Community Center
in the New Year, got quite a show.
Oscar winner and accomplished gui-
tarist Jeff Bridges, who performs with
his group, the Abiders, played a selec-
tion of songs, including two from his
2009 Academy Award-winning film
Crazy Heart, while 60s rocker, Peter
Noone of Herman and the Hermits,
sang a number of his hits.
Oscar-nominated composer Barry
DeVorzon also added his voice to the
show with a variety of his songs.
We need to raise at least one mil-
lion dollars quite soon, given our
mortgage will be around $15,000 a
month in due course and we have to
pay for major renovations when we
move into the old Magellans office
space, says executive director Tom
Reed. We have a lot ahead of us,
including moving everything up from
State Street over the next few months,
although the department for seniors
will be staying there for the next eigh-
teen months.
Among the 150 supporters turn-
ing out for the 94-year-old charity
were Anne Towbes, Dan and Debbie
Kass, Susan Bridges, Salud Carbajal,
Mireille Noone, Christopher
Lancashire, Larry Crandell, Janet
Garufis and Matthew DeVorzon...
Salonens Return
Esa-Pekka Salonen, a frequent visi-
tor to Santa Barbara when he was resi-
dent conductor with the Los Angeles
Philharmonic Orchestra for 17 years,
made a triumphant return to the
Granada when he directed Londons
Philharmonia Orchestra, where he has
been for the past five years.
The Finnish wunderkind, who
made his debut with the English
troupe in 1983, was in fine form
with Beethovens Symphony No. 7
in A major, which the composer con-
sidered his most excellent work,
having written it in 1813 during the
Napoleonic Wars.
The concert, part of the CAMA
International Series, wrapped with
Berliozs Symphonie fantastique,
a grand, five-movement 1830 work
reflecting on an epic, but unfulfilled
romance. When he first tried getting
it performed, a number of members of
the extremely large ensemble had to
sit in the audience!
Fortunately, there were no such
problems at the imposing State Street
venue...
Middle of Nowhere
Montecito author Paula Duncan
McDonald took two years to write
her first novel The Middle of Nowhere,
which is based in part on her upbring-
ing in Wink, a remote community in
Texas.
Its the story of a pioneer family in
an arid part of the state and the power
of the human spirit, Paula, a psy-
chologist, told me at a launch bash at
Tecolote, the lively literary lair in the
Upper Village.
Initially the book seemed more of a
hobby, but one day it hit me it was for
real. I really loved the excitement and
deep pleasure of creating.
My central character, the daughter
of a second generation, is a survi-
vor, literally somebody in the middle
of nowhere. There is an epic quality
given the extraordinary events in the
book.
Her appetite has clearly been whet-
ted by her writing experience.
Im now planning a sequel, but its
all in my head at the moment, Paula
adds...
Artful Recluse Reception
More than 300 people turned out
for the Santa Barbara Museum of
Arts Atelier event, inspired by its
latest exhibition The Artful Recluse:
Painting, Poetry and Politics in 17th
Century China.
The bash recreated an evening with
the literati, with guests experiencing
poetry readings, impromptu composi-
tion, brush painting demonstrations,
authentic food, music and dance all
under the influence of the reluctant
moon.
Of particular note was the ethe-
real music of Barbie Chien, a member
of the Los Angeles Classical Chinese
Orchestra since 1994, playing on a
guzheng, a plucked zither.
Serenity personified...
Shining Show
Melanie Marnichs These Shining
Lives, the latest production from the
UCSB Department of Theater and
Dance, is a winner.
The show, directed by Tom
Whitaker, focuses on a real life story
of female employees at the Radium
Dial Company in Illinois in the 20s,
who produced more than 4,000 glow-
in-the-dark watch dials each day, not
realizing they were ultimately sub-
jecting themselves to extreme radium
poisoning.
Madelyn Robinson as the leader of
a small group of fellow painters who
eventually sued the company was
superb, with the others in the ensemble
cast, Erin Margaret Pettigrew, Nicole
Caitlin Abramson, Sophie Hassett,
Julian Remulla and Ian Watson as
able supports.
Nayna Rameys creative scenic
design was excellent.
A show to watch...
Eddies Debut
It is no wonder Eddie Izzard has
been hailed as one of the foremost
stand-up comedians of his generation.
The brilliant Brit, known for his
bizarre, tangential, absurd and sur-
real comic narratives was in more than
fine form during his almost two-hour
show at UCSBs Campbell Hall, with a
rapid fire repertoire that covered God,
politics, Stone Age Man and even
Noah and his Ark.
Last year Emmy Award-winning
Izzard, also noted as an actor, became
the first solo stand-up comedian to
appear at the Hollywood Bowl. He
also recently played Grandpa Munster

Noone, Debbie Kass

Munsters, retitled Mockingbird Lane,
alongside Jerry OConnell and Portia

His debut performance in our Eden

& Lectures series, was as polished as
his rouge varnished fingernails!
Cocktails at Cadiz
Cadiz, the popular Mediterranean
style-eatery on State Street, threw a
pre-Yuletide bash as its second anni-
versary rapidly approaches.
A cornucopia of cocktails created
by Sean Sepulveda set the tone for
the chic soire as guests, including
Corinna Gordon, Philippe Sautot,
Jennifer Guess, Sheela Hunt, Ryan
and Jessica Carr, and eatery owner,
Michael DeRose and his daughter,
Messina, sampled the temping tapas
from chef John Pettitt.
It was a great kick off for the
party season, gushed Jennifer, whose
eponymous public relations company
seems to be growing like crabgrass...
Help Kids Helping Kids
San Marcos High Schools Kids
Helping Kids organization, which
consists of 108 empowered students
making a difference from the class-
room to the community, needs some
adult help.
The nonprofit, which last year won
the Subway National High School
Award, distinguishing it as the top
student-run charity in the U.S., is
holding a ballroom dance fundraiser
at the Music Academy of the Wests
Lotte Lehmann Hall on December 1 to
raise funds for its 11th annual gala at
the Granada on January 12, which has
helped them raise $720,000 since the
foundation started in 2002.
As most youngsters are somewhat
limited when it comes to ballroom
dancing, wed love to have adults
come and be part of the event, says
Evyn Van Homer, 17, one of the orga-
nizers.
If you care to participate, her e-mail

Canadian Coincidence
What a small world!

mer KEYT-TV weekend anchor, Scott
Hurst, moving to Canadian TV in
Vancouver, in which I mentioned I
had been a regular guest on the net-
works Dini Petty Show in Toronto for a
number of years, I was approached by
Ivan Fecan while having my morning
Java jolt outside Pierre Lafond.
It turns out Ivan was the head of
CTV for many years and now splits
his time between Canada and our rar-
efied enclave.
I remember you well, he tells me.

encourage and supported. Its prob-
ably why you are here in the room
tonight, because you share that same
philosophy.
And I thank you for that. So, as I
leave the stage now with this beauti-
ful award although Im not going
to pick it up because its like two tons
let us applaud not me, but our col-
lective commitment to continue the
work were doing in supporting foun-
dations like this and in fact, if we can,
lets do more.
God knows, the world needs it.
Thank you very much.
If ever there was a speechmaker at
a fundraiser that deserved the stand-
ing ovation Nigel Lythgoe received,
it was he.
Katys Story
Katy Perry too turned out to be a
self-effacing joy to listen to.
She was introduced with a short
film explaining her tough road to
stardom, including her very lowest
point when she was reduced to hav-
ing to ask her 16-year-old brother to
help get her car out of having been
impounded.
At first, Katy spoke directly to Nigel,
asking him to be her sunset and she
would be his grasshopper.
Katy had only good things to say
about Santa Barbara.
I was born in Goleta Valley
Hospital. Its the place where my roots
are, and I know you have seen so
many hair colors from me in the past
year, she laughed, from purple to
blue, to peach, to black but, well,
when I was born here I was a squirrel
brown color.
When she was thirteen, she remi-
nisced, she would try out her songs at
the Santa Barbara Open Air Farmers
Market, and sometimes someone
would come along with a bag of pis-
tachios or avocados and it got me
where I am today. I saw myself going
up on that stage with my songs and I
had my dreams about that, so dream-
ing, no matter how big or small will
always be my mantra. But the Dream
Foundation has given me a different
perspective on the many definitions
of dreams.
She said she had gotten to meet
some of the dreamers earlier in the
evening and it made her understand
why she was there this evening.
She said she admires the dream-
ers courage and maturity, and was
humbled to be one of those able to
supply a dream for someone.
I look forward to fulfilling dreams
with you for years to come, she con-
cluded before accepting the award.
Until I die, a Santa Barbarian, there is
no greater honor.
Casey Abrams, an Idol contender
but not a winner, appeared on stage
to sing and play guitar, and during his
performance noted that until seeing
[Nigel] here tonight, I had no idea he
had a heart.
It was quite an evening. MJ
Randy Jackson too proved both friendly and
accessible, seen here just before the after party
with MJ and News-Press columnist Erin Graffy

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

Glass show Although fused glass
and sterling jewelry designer Katya
Wittenstein is currently based in the
artist enclave in the bayside village
of Sausalito, Katya grew up in Santa
Barbara, where the stark, subtle and
varied colors of the land and seascapes
shaped her eye for design and hue early
in her life. Wittenstein traveled widely
abroad, studying many forms of artistic
expression and design including painting,
sculpture, and glass before ultimately
concentrating on glass jewelry; her
European heritage and interest in poetry,
history, and ancient and modern style
evolution shows up in her work, from the
shape of the sculpted metallic settings to
the curve, arc and glisten of the luminous
glass that is always the center of her
work. Todays trunk show at the Museum
of Arts museum store features Katyas
earrings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets,
cuffs, rings, pendants and more, each
representing a technique 30 years in the
making blending chemistry, metallurgy

Dijos dynamic duo
departing The local theater
company executive directed
by Montecito resident Jerry
Oshinsky presents two
different historical plays running
in repertory this weekend.
New Jerusalem, by acclaimed
playwright David Ives, is
a rare historical work by the
usually comedic author, but
one that fts perfectly with Dijos
oeuvre, the company having previously presented Frost/Nixon, The Love Song of J.
Robert Oppenheimer, Hanna and Martin, and Fifteen Rounds with Jackson Pollock.
The taut work runs like a modern day Inherit the Wind-style trial, based on fact with
invented dialogue. Pitting religion against philosophy, government against religion,
and community against government, the play is set in the mid-1600s, and explores the
enclave of Sephardic Jews within the City of Amsterdam who are allowed to self-police
as a condition of residing in the city without fear of punishment. Eventually, the Jews
must come to grips with the radical thinking of Baruch Spinoza, the supposedly religious
Jewish philosopher whose thoughts threaten the existence of his closed community even
as he heads down a path that threatens his very survival. William Waxman, Brian
Kolb, Jesi Vasquez, Aden Hailu, and Oshinsky co-star; Ed Giron both acts and
directs. Running in tandem is the regional premiere of Conversations in Tusculum, a
new work by Tony/Olivier/Obie Award-winner Richard Nelson (James Joyces The
Dead, Chess) about the plot to assassinate Julius Caesar. The play brings to life the
intense and controversial interactions among Brutus, Cassius and Cicero leading up to
the assassination focusing on power and its abuse, and illuminating how ancient Rome
has startling resonance with our age. The New York Times described it as a deeply
felt study of the hopelessness that comes with inaction. Presented as a stage reading in
its frst production after the New York premiere, Conversations stars Giron (who also
again directs) Waxman, Oshinsky, and Hailu plus Philip Levere and Maia Mook.
WHEN: Jerusalem: 8pm Friday & Saturday, Nov. 23 & 24; 7pm Sunday, Nov. 25 /

Presidential power It will take some time
before people can place a proper perspective
on Barack Obama, who just won reelection to
a second term in the White House earlier this
month. But past presidents provide a plethora
of opportunities for probing biographies and
Jon Meacham is one of the best at the art.
Meacham, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his last
effort, the 2009 biography of Andrew Jackson,
American Lion, now takes on a much more
heralded U.S. leader and complex founding
father in Thomas Jefferson The Art of Power.
Published just last week, the book examines the
charismatic president who also was something of
a contradiction, embodying both the promise and
pratfalls of the emerging American government.
Jefferson was passionate about many things
women, books, science and architecture, among them but nothing so much as
creating a popular government, a vision he strove repeatedly to realize in the face
of ferce opposition and partisan division, economic uncertainty and external threat
an era not unlike our own. The book has been praised as endlessly fascinating
by author Doris Kearns Goodwin, whose own tome on a controversial American
president has just been turned into Stephen Spielbergs epic flm Lincoln, which
opened in town last weekend. Meacham, an executive editor at Random House
and former editor of Newsweek magazine whose previous works include American
Gospel: God, the Founding Fathers, and the Making of a Nation and Franklin and
Winston: An Intimate Portrait of an Epic Friendship, will sign copies of the book
after his talk. WHEN: 8pm WHERE: UCSBs Campbell Hall COST: $10 general,

Now, the acclaimed duo is back with their
1999 flm, Ten Things I Hate About You, an
adaptation of Shakespeares The Taming

Weis way with dance
Eleven years after Chinese
dance innovator Shen Wei
formed his dance company
in New York City, the
ensemble known for staging
visual feasts is making
its Santa Barbara debut.
In addition to his talents as
a prolifc choreographer,
Shen Wei is also a dancer;
opera buff; stage director; set, costume, lighting and makeup designer; painter,
and flmmaker. Best known as lead choreographer for the Opening Ceremonies
of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Shen Wei has been lauded worldwide, counting
among his honors a MacArthur Genius Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship
and a Nijinsky Award, among others. Hailed as startlingly imaginative by The
New York Times, Shen Wei Dance Arts is devoted to the creation of innovative
dance forms for a new generation, featuring a seamless fusion of Chinese opera,
painting, dance and music with Western performance arts. Tonights program
features the restaging of two of Shen Weis most celebrated works: Rite of Spring,
set to Stravinskys music and coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the original
landmark piece, while Folding is a highly stylized movement exploration played
out over the ethereal melodies of Tavener and Tibetan Buddhist chants. The concept,
choreography, costumes, set and make-up design of both pieces are all by Shen Wei.

Bradleys back It seems
almost impossible in this age of
instant communications, myriad
methods of marketing and
nonstop social networking that
the vastly talented soul singer
Charles Bradley somehow
toiled in obscurity for nearly
50 years before his absurdly
overdue debut captured
attention throughout the land
in 2011. But that stuff didnt
exist when Bradley was starting
out and frst fell in love with
the music when he saw James
Brown at the Apollo in Harlem
in 1962 the late singer is not only his idol, but his closest comparison. So he spent
decades as a cook in such locales as Maine, upstate New York and even out here in
California. Having never let go of his dream to perform, Bradley kept plugging away
in bands, and eventually now back in Brooklyn managed to grab some attention
from someone who was able to help. Within short order (pardon the pun), Bradley
put together the Menahan Street Band, with musicians from the Dap-Kings, The
Budos Band and Antibalas and made No Time For Dreaming, his searing album
that drips with the palpable emotion and conviction of a man who has endured
signifcant heartache. The vocals rip through the soul, while the poignant songs tear
at the heart, and the band backs up his soul-baring performance. All of that was in
evidence when Bradley made his debut in August 2011, at SOhO, unleashing his
James Brownesque magic and momentum on a stunned audience. Its a good bet fans
will be up and dancing in the outer aisles at Campbell Hall tonight when Bradley
returns to town to perform for UCSB A&L. Note: The Menahan Street Band will play
a separate set of selections from their own buzz-building new album The Crossing.

new On The Market
Real Estate by Mark Hunt
Mark and his wife, Sheela Hunt, are real estate agents. They live in Montecito with their daughter Sareena,
a sophomore 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.
F
or many reasons unknown,
there havent been a lot of homes
to choose from on the market.
However, a number of new listings
have hit the market here in Montecito
in the past week or so. It is encouraging
to see new listings near the end of
the year, a typically off-peak time
for introducing new inventory. Four
of these new listings caught my eye;
all are in various price ranges, and
feature different styles, and scattered
in various locations within 93108.
Here is a peek into the fresh inventory;
all have been on broker open house
tours over the past week or so.
712 Chelham Way $950,000
This is an entry-level Montecito
home on a picturesque street near
Westmont College, in the Cold Spring
School District. The main home offers
three bedrooms and two bathrooms
in just under 2,000 square feet (per
listing information). Also, there is a
separate studio that is a self-contained
bedroom-kitchen-bathroom combo.
This home is on a lot, that, worthy of
note, backs up to Westmont College,
with views of the playing field, so
there is no house directly behind the
property. Pretty gardens with fruit
trees help enhance the rural feel of
this home, and yet the house is close
to schools and town. The additional
studio is what adds the value on this
home, effectively making it a four
bedroom, and that is a rare find in
Montecito for under a million dollars.
760 Ladera Lane $1,529,000
This home in eastern, more rural
Montecito is on nearly an acre of pri-
vate wooded grounds, closer to the
Toro Canyon area. Remodeled in 2008,
the home features three bedrooms,
three bathrooms, modern kitchen and
baths, quality floors and cabinets,
vaulted ceilings, a large open area
dining-living room, a stone fireplace,
outdoor decking, winding paths, pati-
os and grassy areas. Obvious from the
description, this house has numerous
add value features. Bonus artists
cabin with fireplace by a seasonal
creek adds to the charm of this prop-
erty. Ladera Lane is located in the
Summerland School District.
1770 Jelinda Drive $3,595,000
Situated inside the private gated
enclave of Ennisbrook, this home
comes complete with access to the
community amenities: swimming
pool, tennis courts and formal club-
house. This newly offered four-bed-
room, three-and-a-half-bath, one-sto-
ry home with step-down living room,
features an excellent floor plan for
daily life and indoor-outdoor enter-
taining. This home is located in the
Montecito Union School District.
900 Park Lane West $5,195,000
This contemporary home is situ-
ated in one of Montecitos premier
locations, on a three-acre private lot
just above the San Ysidro Ranch. This
home offers an open living room,
dining room-kitchen area, unique
design, high ceilings and large picture
windows that help take advantage
of the treetop and local vista views
and setting. There is a formal master
suite, modern kitchen, wine cellar,
and privacy with some ocean views.
Outside there is also a modern dip-
ping pool hidden in the trees, seem-
ingly attached to the house as an
extension. Despite the hillside feeling
of privacy, you are only a mile to the
lower village shops and restaurants,
and literally a healthy stones throw
from the upper portion of the San
Ysidro Ranch.
If you have questions regarding, or

interest in, any of the properties listed
here, please contact your realtor. If
you are not working with someone,

California Contractors License 263156 Since 1970
Bungalows were expected to be about $175 million, or $940,000 per key for the
186 rooms, suites and bungalows.
Based on reasonable rate and occupancy projections, the study con-
cluded that a financing gap of $22 to $37 million could largely be filled
by an estimated Countys TOT assistance program which would provide
between $19.6 and $21.6 million in present value to the Miramar to close
the gap.
Caruso submitted letters from two potential lenders, including Union
Bank, stating that their projection of a $22.5-million income stream from
the TOT rebate would be essential as a dedicated cash flow to service the
debt on a proposed loan. The lenders concluded that if there is not a 15-year
commitment, and any future County Board of Supervisors can breach the
agreement at any time for any reason and with no recourse, the rebate
agreement is worthless to a lender. The Countys decision to take the TOT
incentive rebate program off the table makes further discussion of a rebate
a moot point.
What Happens now?
What once looked like a win-win for the County and Caruso now looks like
the Miramar will live on indefinitely as a community eyesore, but the decrepit
cottages will be gone. The rebate is dead. Resort financing is problematic. All
that remains is for the County to negotiate the terms of a demolition permit
with Caruso so that he can vest his entitlements and rid the neighborhood of
the rotting cottages.
Caruso is left with a parcel of oceanfront land with a Union Pacific train
track running through the middle, plans for a luxury resort and vested plan-
ning entitlements. Lenders, who were once willing to fund 80-90% of a new
construction resort, are now struggling to lend 60%, forcing property owners
to pump in more equity to make up the difference.
Those who suggest rezoning the $60 million resort site for luxury homes are
whistling in the dark, as are those who say Caruso should donate the land to
a public park. The foreseeable scenarios for the community are dim, dimmer
and dimmest, made somewhat worse by a sense of betrayal from both parties
over collapsed negotiations. The real loser is neither Caruso nor the County,
but the residents of Montecito. MJ
