Mr. Hickman is the Montecito Fire Protection District Fire Chief
Fire Station # 3
A
third fre station in Montecitos east end is on the horizon and I would
like to give a little overview and history of the project thus far. Before I
do, I would like to introduce myself as your newly appointed Fire Chief.
I was appointed to the position of Fire Chief on June 1 of this year. I
have 30 years experience delivering emergency services. My first-responder
career began on an ambulance in Ventura County, followed by six years as a
Paramedic in Santa Barbara; Ive now been a licensed Paramedic for 28 years. In
1990 I started my career with Montecito Fire Protection District as one of its first
Paramedic Firefighters. More recently I was the initial Incident Commander on
the Tea Fire and was assigned as a Structure Protection Group Supervisor on the
Jesusita Fire. I am also on the board of Fire Districts Association of California
(FDAC). That is some of my history, but let me get to what Id really like to talk
about: the Station Three project.
The vision of a third fire station on the east end of the district has been a plan
of the Districts for more than 20 years. We are committed to protecting you,
your property and the environment. We all know that residential growth on the
east end is possible, and is already part of the Montecito Community Plan. The
Districts mission is to deliver professional and timely emergency services to the
current and future needs of the community. The addition of Station 3 addresses
the areas in eastern Montecito that do not currently meet our response stan-
dards, and supports the communitys long-term plan.
A Perfect Location
Land acquisition will not get any less expensive, more available, or less con-
tentious in the future. The extensive site study (available on our website: www.
montecitofire.com) performed by the District in 2007 identified 14 possible sites.
Of these 14 properties, there were only two that met the majority of essential
and desirable criteria, both being on the Jackson Ranch. The proposed loca-
tion is directly across the street from 2349 East Valley Road. It is ideal because
of location, size and the fact that it has very few neighbors in close proximity.
Additionally, this location was the only location that had the closest thing to a
willing seller. The parcel is 2.55 acres of a much larger existing parcel. Currently,
the property is used as a lemon orchard but has been zoned Residential 2-E-1
for many years.
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been completed and certified for
the property. The project has been reviewed by the Montecito Associations
Land Use Committee four times prior to going to the Montecito Board of
Architectural Review (MBAR). The MBAR gave conceptual approval with
Board Member Sam Maphis stating, I would want this to be an exhibit of how
people should design their properties. Our next presentation will be to the
Montecito Planning Commission on October 24th.
The challenge we now face is a lawsuit that has been filed by an entity recent-
ly formed by the owner of property directly across the street from the proposed
fire station site. The entity is called the Montecito Agricultural Foundation.
The Foundations complaint is that the EIR was procedurally flawed. The
Districts counsel feels very strongly that the lawsuit is without merit and that
the EIR was processed properly, and we are more than willing to address any
issues if it is determined to need additional attention.
Other Neighbors Unaffected
We understand and are sensitive to neighbor concerns regarding views, aes-
thetics, or diminution in value and want to minimize any negative impacts the
introduction of a fire station in that area may cause.
However, the District has experienced these same concerns from neighbors
in the past, with both of our other station developments. I am unaware of any
neighbor suffering ill effects from our existing fire stations and a few have even
expressed to me that they enjoy our presence. Regardless, the lawsuit exists
and it is costing the District tens of thousands of dollars per month to defend
the EIR.
Over the past seven years the Districts governing board and staff have put
aside the funds to fully pay for the purchase of the land, the estimated construc-
tion costs of the fire station, and a new fire engine. It is our intention to absorb

The best little paper in America
(Covering the best little community anywhere!)
Y
ouve now seen Obama
without clothes and its not a
pretty sight. The contrast was
astonishing. Even many in the media
were left speechless. The election was
not won last night, but the country
will now look at both men with eyes
and ears wide open.
Someone (Romney?) brilliantly dis-
covered Obamas major weakness (he
has many). He doesnt know what to
do when challenged and cant resort
to his normal tactic of shutting down
the debate. There were signs of this
behavior in the few public instances
when he was challenged. In the meet-
ing when Ryan challenged him over
the budget and in the White House
meeting with Netanyahu when the
Israeli Prime Minister scolded Obama
in front of the press.
Normally, Obama is speaking to
stacked audiences that he can control,
including the press, and in formal
remarks with a teleprompter. Romney
either instinctively felt this or was
prompted, but it worked. Obama
wanted to shut down the debate but
couldnt and his anger and frustration
was revealed to everyone. He became
disoriented because he couldnt have
his way. He showed that he is an
empty suit and not a leader, in front
of the whole world. A devastating
performance and if Romney contin-
ues this tactic, he will be the next
President. However, Obama is capa-
ble of dirty tricks but time is short.
Look for Ryan to make a fool of Biden
this week.
Dolly Granatelli
Montecito
(Editors note: Cmon Dolly, I know
you are trying to be diplomatic; tell us
how you really feel! J.B.)
Nothing To Say
The news media lost almost as big
as Obama in the opening debate. The
nation saw an energized and aggres-
sive Mitt Romney trounce a president
who clearly has nothing to say and
no record to run on. Was this a new-
and-improved Romney, a guy we had
somehow never seen before? Of course
not. It was the same old Mitt Romney,
but this time, for 90 shining minutes,
unfiltered by a press that has been
trying to snuff the life from Romneys
campaign since the day he became the
GOP frontrunner. Although the news
media would have us believe that
Romney is weak, clueless and bereft
of ideas, the Massachusetts gover-
nor comes across as very presidential
when his words, deeds and ideas are
not being reported to us by the con-
spiratorial likes of The New York Times,
Washington Post, L.A. Times, MSNBC,
et al.
The fact that Obama supporters
have seized on the lack of specific
details in Romneys arguments is as
pathetic as it is laughable. This elec-
tion is not about details, it is about
whether government should be
allowed to run our lives even more
than it is already doing. If Obama
has any more Big Ideas to present in
the next debate, then bring em on!
In the meantime, with their candi-
date bruised and bloodied, expect
the news media, abetted by Obamas
handlers, to do the only thing they
can do: play dirty. Very dirty. Once
again, we say let em bring it, since
any attempt to tar a fundamentally
decent man like Romney is bound to
backfire.

Wheres The Money?
I want to thank the Montecito Journal
for endorsing my candidacy to the
Montecito Fire Protection District and
urging voters to vote Yes on Measure
F to expand the Fire District Board
from three to five members.
To maintain the best fire and emer-
gency services for Montecito the new
Board must plan for the future and not
be caught by unanticipated expenses.
In 2011 the district had a deficit of
over $2 million.
In the Districts campaign for a new
fire station, to handle potential future
growth in the East end of the Valley,
they claim that it will not cost the
taxpayers any additional funds. That
is true to the extent that indeed their
income is fixed to a portion of the
property taxes collected. However,
they currently spend an amount
almost equal to their income running
two stations, property tax is relatively
flat, and the area is not growing so
no new taxes are being generated; so
where would the money come from to
run a third station?
I will work diligently to ensure that
the District plans for the future and
continues to use its funds wisely to
maintain the best services for all resi-
dents. I will work to see that our
Districts fine reputation and perfor-

Montecito Association
Village Beat
by Kelly Mahan

A
t their board meeting on
Tuesday, October 9, Montecito
Association directors voted to
send a letter to the Montecito Planning
Commission asking them to defer any
decisions about Fire Station 3 until
after the November election. The
proposed station will be in front of
MPC on October 24.
During the standing-room only MA
board meeting, Montecito Fire Chief
Chip Hickman showed a video show-
ing a fire starting in a living room
and growing rapidly to engulf the
entire home in less than five minutes.
Everything we do is time sensitive,
Chief Hickman explained, adding
that fires and all medical emergen-
cies require quick response times.
According to MFPD, the eastern por-
tion of the district is outside of a five-
minute response time, hence the need
for a third station. Fire personnel also
need a place to train for emergencies,
which will take place on the grounds
of the new station, slated to be built
on a 2.55-acre lot on the 2500 block of
East Valley Road.
Weve made a plan to accommo-
date both the goals and needs of the
station as well as buffers to ensure
neighborhood compatibility and oak
woodland restoration, said land use
planner Rita Bright, who is consulting
on the station. The project includes
15 parking spaces, living quarters,
administrative offices, apparatus
bays, a 35-foot hose-drying tower, and
two driveways to be used for ingress
and egress for fire vehicles and two-
way for civilian vehicles. It has been in
front of the MA Land Use Committee
six times, and in August, received con-
ceptual review from Montecito Board
of Architectural Review. The time is
now; the justification is here. Its never
going to get less contentious or less
expensive, Chief Hickman said.
MFPD is currently in litigation with
a group calling themselves Montecito
Agricultural Foundation, which is
comprised of three nearby homeown-
ers who are calling the Environmental
Impact Review (EIR) on the project
incomplete and calling the projects
compatibility with the neighbor-
hood into question. Mary Rose and

Stand Up For Kids
SEEN Page 164
T
he United Boys & Girls Clubs
of Santa Barbara County
welcomed guests to their 30
th

annual Stand Up For Kids auction
held at Fess Parkers Doubletree
Resort. I must say they did a frst-class
job. It was the perfect evening to be
at the top of the rotunda for cocktails
with enough bars so there were no
lines. The beef and brie appetizers
were delicious and the silent auction
went on and on so many items to bid
for. On one of the tables was a picture
of some of the founders and early
presidents where Jim Dow was listed
as unknown. He laughed and left a
note identifying himself.
Also, there were Rick and Sasa
Feldman who own the Eyeglass
Factory. I didnt know that they give
glasses to any child in need, veterans
and homeless. Rick would like to see
more businesses involved in philan-
thropy.
Real stars and blue and white lan-
terns glowed over the dinner tables
and stage in the rotunda. Each table
place had a charming handwrit-
ten thank you note from the kids
at the Clubs. Mine was from Leo in
Carpinteria and said, Thank you for
donating to the Boys & Girls Clubs!

We dont just work in this community, we live here, too. Thats why were committed to keeping local traditions
alive, and as well soon be uniting with Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, its even more important that we do our part.
Weve celebrated at Old Spanish Days Fiesta in Santa Barbara, helped bring back the Monterey 4th of July Parade,
and gotten in touch with our wild side at the Santa Barbara Zoos Zoofari Ball. While traditions like these are lots of
fun, they also do a lot of good for local businesses and nonprofitsas well as boost local spirit. Of course, there are
other ways a bank can support its communities. So Union Bank also commits millions of dollars and thousands of
volunteer hours to local philanthropic causes that support education, economic development, the environment,
the arts, human services, and more. Its the right thing to doafter all, its our home.

There were also kids at the event to
greet and say thanks.
Master of Ceremonies Randy Weiss
kept the program moving. CEO/CPO
Michael Rattray and board president
Steve Rehage told us, In 1975 there
was a board and George Chelini was
appointed executive director uniting
all the different clubs (Carpinteria,
Goleta, Lompoc and Westside). Now
we have ten locations including club-
houses, school campuses after hours
and our beautiful Camp Whittier.
Collectively we touch the lives of
over five thousand members. They
have researched the best programs
and curriculums to enhance their after
school and summer programs includ-
ing making them fun. These programs
are making a positive difference in the
lives of young people throughout the
county.
Honored this evening with the
Lifetime Achievement Award was
George Chelini who founded a first
day camp and baseball league in 1958
and has been involved ever since. As
Mike said, George is the godfather of
the Boys & Girls Clubs. George told
us, My wife, Margie, was a volunteer
at one of the clubs and thats how we
met.
A big present came from the
Chumash, who presented the Westside
Boys & Girls Clubs with a check for
$100,000 they had made from a golf
tournament. The live auction was
done with father and son profession-
als Bill Hoffer and Bill Hoffer and a
very responsive audience. The rotun-
da rocked as Area 51 took over to
provide music for dancing.
The event committee was Jim
Crook, Melissa Gough, Judy

and Sal Rodriguez.

on October 27 and 28 at the Lobero.
As Peter and Dallas Clark said,
The Royal Ballet had dame Margo
Fonteyn and State Street Ballet has
its own Margo who danced in her
youth. She danced this night as well
with four handsome dancers from the
company.
Tango attire was suggested and
guests looked ready to compete in
their own Dancing with the Stars as
they sipped wine to the sounds of
Chris Fossek playing Spanish guitar
on the veranda.
The right shoe can make a big
difference, so says Cinderella. This
night each table was centered with a
fancy black shoe filled with dark red
roses and a rose at each place to put
between you teeth. There was a large
inviting dance floor and Bent Myggen
also played background music. King
Communications Producers and
emcees Jonatha King and Lance Jones
told us, Thousands of children see
the programs and are inspired and the
company has a ninety-percent rebook-
ing rate.
Executive Director Rodney
Gustafson told me, I founded the
group seventeen years ago and am
grateful for all the donors like Leni
Fe Bland, Tim Mikel, Sara Miller
McCune, Michael Towbes, Morrie
and Irma Jurkowitz and Van Cleef &
Arpels, who are sponsoring our very
first appearance in New York City this
fall.
Energetic auctioneer Andrew
Firestone reminded us, I am the son

in England where future husband
Brooks first saw her on stage and

ence. The pieces will then be acquired
for the symphony and auctioned off at
a gala scheduled the following month
at a private home in Montecito.
The selection process of the art-
ists one for each performance has
already begun, with the Arts Fund
forwarding names to the selection
committee.
Our maestro, Nir Kabaretti, sug-
gested this at an artistic committee
after seeing it on a website, adds
Gene. The initial response from vari-
ous art organizations has been posi-
tive. I have set myself a deadline of
New Years Eve to have the artists
lined up.
The symphonys executive director,
David Grossman, describes the plan
as a blend of visual and aural art
forms promising a unique experi-
ence.
We immediately embraced Nirs
idea. Music naturally creates images
in our minds, but how interesting it
will be to watch those ideas come to
life in real time through the hands of
a local artist.
Glazunovs work is the perfect
vehicle to take a journey with the art-
ist as we watch sonic textures translate
into brush strokes... It provides a won-
derful dimension to a concert season
filled with extraordinary moments.
A spectacular canvas, to be sure...
Nacho News
Dashing Argentinian polo player,
Nacho Figueras, is known worldwide
as the model for Ralph Laurens line
of fashions and fragrances.
But he was hardly ready for his
close-up when he made an unexpect-
ed stop at the Santa Barbara Polo Club
last week, sporting a black eye from
a mallet accident from a match in
Buenos Aires a few days before.
Nacho, who was accompanied
by his wife, photographer and for-
mer model, Delfina, played for Ben
Soleimanis Mansour team against
Wildcat, losing 14-10.
It was a great exhibition, although
he was on strange horses lent by
Ben and Santiago von Wernich, and
had just arrived from Argentina that
morning and drove straight up here,
says Melanja Jones, the Carpinteria
clubs polo manager. He has had
quite a schedule of late, having com-
peted in China just ten days previ-
ously and then flying to Buenos Aires
to play before jetting to Los Angeles.
Nacho, voted the second most hand-
some man in the world by readers of
Vanity Fair four years ago after British
actor Robert Pattison, was at the third

Classic at Will Rogers State Park in

The Clark Abodes
The estate of eccentric copper heir-
ess Huguette Clark was worth more
than $300 million when she died last
year aged 104, it has been revealed.
Her fortune, which has now come to
light in court documents, includes her
most valuable asset, Bellosguardo, an
$84.5 million mansion on 23 acres on
a bluff overlooking the Pacific in our
Eden by the Beach.
The reclusive tycoon abandoned all
five of her homes during her last 20
years, instead setting up residence in
a New York hospital.
The pricey real estate also includes
three apartments in Manhattan, over-
looking Central Park, with a total of 42
rooms between them. They are valued
at $53 million with the penthouse
property already sold for $24 million.
Another estate, the nine-bedroom Le
Beau Chateau, in affluent New Canaan,
Connecticut, is worth $14.3 million,
while other personal property, includ-
ing a painting by Monet and a multi-
million doll collection, is valued at
$75.4 million.
The valuation, which will be subject
to taxes, comes as part of the current
well-publicized court case between
Clarks longtime nurse, Hadassah
Peri, and her great-nieces and great-
nephews.
Clark drew up two separate wills in
2005, aged 98.
The first gave $5 million to Peri, but
left the bulk of the estate to intestate
distributees, meaning her closest liv-
ing relatives.
But the latest, written just six weeks
later, deliberately excluded Clarks
family and left most of the fortune
to an art foundation to be set up at
Bellosguardo.
It also included a bequest of $30

Women & Leadership
Antioch University Santa Barbara
(AUSB) invited guests to join the Fan
Club (Fundraising and Networking) to
hear about the universitys new certif-
icate program, Women & Leadership.
The location was the unique contem-
porary home of architect John Mike
Cohen and his wife, Marcia, complete
with an infinity pool and stunning
views of the ocean. There to greet us
was their dog, Weber. The story goes
that John wanted a barbeque and
Marcia wanted a dog, hence the name.
More hosts for the wine and hors
doeuvres event were Judy Bruton,
Patricia Chavez-Nunez, Marcia R.
Cohen, Kathryn Downing, Dale
Kern, Vicki Riskin and Susan Rose,
along with a huge committee.

VILLAGE BEAT (Continued from page 13)
Agricultural Foundation, urged the
MA board to ask MPC to question
the need and location of Fire Station
3. Cole said that 92% of the District is
within the five-minute response time,
and it does not make financial sense
to build the station, estimated to cost
$8.7m in land and building materials.
Land Use Chair Dave Kent said the
need for the station, as well as its size
and the cost to run it are outside the
MAs purview of the project, saying
its Spanish Colonial Revival style is
compatible with the neighborhood.
It is not a house. It does not need to
be screened with hedges and a ton
of trees, she said. I want everyone
to know its there, to drive by and
see this communitys commitment to
safety. We are proud of it.
The letter, which was approved
unanimously with the exception of
abstentions from Mindy Denson and
Ted Urschel, also asks MPC to review
the appropriateness of the training
facility and associated uses on the
property, and ask that the district do
what it can to further screen the prop-
erty. The MA board noted in the letter
that it is advisable for MPC to defer
any decision about the project for 30 to
60 days to give the new MFPD board
members an opportunity to review the
project after the November 6 election.
HOV Lane Update
On October 18, the MA Transportation
Subcommittee will be in front of the
Santa Barbara County Associations of
Governments (SBCAG) board to pres-
ent an interchange configuration plan
they hope to have added to Caltrans
environmental document on the High
Occupancy Vehicle project slated to
begin in 2016. The MAs plan is an
alternative to several already outlined
by Caltrans showing options for the
configuration of Montecito on-ramps
and off-ramps.
According to board member
Bob Short, the Transportation
Subcommittee hired several consul-
tants to study the configurations laid
out by Caltrans, and the committee
has come up with an alternative plan
that will lessen construction disrup-
tion, cost less money, and simplify
the highway expansion through
Montecito.
The subcommittees plan, which
calls for keeping one left hand exit a
move Caltrans has rejected numer-
ous times at Hot Springs/Cabrillo,
calls for the closure of the Los Patos
exit, and adds a southbound on-
ramp at Los Patos, under the railroad.
Northbound, the plan calls for keep-
ing the Hermosillo Road exit open,
closing the Cabrillo Blvd left hand
exit, and adding a right hand exit at
Hot Springs Road, which will feed,
into the roundabout.
In adding the exit that feeds into the
roundabout, the roundabout will need
to be moved and enlarged, which
would require the acquisition of about
a quarter of an acre of property from
Montecito Country Club, owned by
Ty Warner. Bill Medel, speaking on
Warners behalf, told the MA board
on Tuesday: We cannot support any
plan which takes part of our prop-
erty. He went on to say, We very
much want to come to a community
solution, but the property is not for
sale, at any cost. MA president Dick
Nordlund contended that the MAs
plan, which would cut construction
from 51 months to 19 months, would
greatly reduce the financial impact
to Warners properties, including the
Biltmore and San Ysidro Ranch.
We appreciate the fact that you
are going to present this alternative to
SBCAG board, and we look forward
to seeing it, said spokesperson Gregg
Hart.
We will have more on this important
issue after the October 18th meeting.
Community Reports
At the MA board meeting on
Tuesday, MUS superintendent Tammy
Murphy and Cold Spring School
superintendent Dr. Tricia Price urged
the board to look into Proposition 30
and Measure A, which will both be
on the November ballot. The women
said the passing of both of the items
would stop the cutting of school fund-
ing from the State. If Proposition 30
fails, Murphy said MUS would lose
$250,000 in State funding, while Dr.
Price said CSS would lose $82,000.
Citizen of the Year
Bill Palladini has been selected as
this years Citizen of the Year. He
will be honored at Beautification Day
on Saturday, November 3. Palladini
is a former Montecito Association
president, and currently sits on the
Montecito Board of Architectural
Review.

The Montecito Association released
the names of six people nominated to
be elected to the board for 2013. They
are: Frank Abatemarco, Dr. Barbara

MUS Welcomes
New Dean of Students
Montecito Union School families
and staff have warmly welcomed
Shawn Shaw, the schools new Dean
of Students, who was hired to replace
Dave Williams after his retirement in
June, after 38 years at MUS. Those
are big shoes to fill! Mr. Shaw said
during an interview last week.
Mr. Shaw hails from Loomis,
California, where he was the principal
at a 500-student K-8 school, and before
that, vice principal of an 800-student
junior high school. I appreciate the
structure here, Shaw said, adding
that the Dean of Students role focuses
more on coaching and supporting stu-
dents, while leaving the role of teacher
interaction and instructional leader-
ship to Chief Academic Officer Nick
Bruski. The principal position was
split two years ago when the school
board implemented an administrative
restructuring; superintendent Tammy
Murphy was hired to oversee both the
Chief Academic Officer and Dean of
Student roles.
Mrs. Murphy tells us that over 40
candidates were considered for the
Dean of Students position, and after
whittling the pool down, the final
two candidates spent separate days
on campus. Mr. Shaw immediately
gravitated towards the students, he
fit right in, she said. Shaw, who
completed his undergraduate work
at the University of Iowa and earned
two masters degrees from California
State University Sacramento, says he
looks forward to working with MUS
students, helping with self esteem,
sense of self, and coaching them to
make good decisions. The quality of
the people Ive met so far is amazing,
he said, Im happy to be here. Mr.
Shaw has two of his own daughters,
Riley, 4, and Paige, 3, who live in
Roseville.
Mr. Bruski was recently recognized
at UCLA with a departmental prize for
his Ed.D. dissertation, which explored
the effects of using an action research
process to examine and develop a sys-
tem of teacher evaluation. Bruski was
also asked to join the faculty at UCLA,

Suspicious Circumstances in Summerland
Wednesday, 3 October, 9:18 am Deputy Vanwinkle spoke on the phone to a
man calling from a residence on Golden Gate Avenue in Summerland to report
suspicious circumstances. The man said he had parked his two vehicles in his
driveway the night before; when he returned the next morning he discovered
that both of his vehicles had been rummaged through. It appeared that nothing
was stolen from either vehicle; an incident report was taken.
Burglary on Padaro Lane
Thursday, 4 October, 9:58 am Deputy Tchobanoff was dispatched to an estate
on Padaro Lane on report of a burglary. A hole had been cut in the fence around
the property, and footprints showed a path from the fence to nearby storage
facilities, which had been broken into. A maintenance man on the property
noticed the locks had been cut off the facilities early the next morning; it was
unclear what had been stolen from the storage containers, as they were dishev-
eled. A report was taken.
Vegetation Fire on Highway 101
Saturday, 6 October, 5:08 am
The Santa Barbara City Fire
Department responded to a veg-
etation fire along Highway 101.
Battalion Chief Robert Mercado
arrived first on scene and report-
ed the fire to be Southbound,
between the Los Patos off-ramp
and Olive Mill Road. Two engine
companies were able to quickly
extinguish the fire which had
begun to spread into the sur-
rounding Eucalyptus trees. With
support from the CHP, the #3
southbound lane was closed
during mop up operations. Fire crews used brush tools and a chain saw to
ensure complete fire extinguishment. This area, between the highway and
railroad tracks, has been a frequent gathering place for transients. Evidence of
a homeless camp was found by fire investigators. This fire is currently under
investigation. MJ
An early morning brush fire on the 101 in Montecito is
still under investigation
tion; he began teaching the once-per-
month course last week.
When we visited the administration
at MUS last Friday, they, along with
the entire student body, were donning
their red Jog-a-Thon t-shirts. One of
two major fundraisers of the school
year, the Jog-a-Thon typically raises
$35,000 for PTA-sponsored programs,
and is a chance for students to get out
of the classroom, get some exercise,
and raise funds for their school. The
school is nearing 500 students, which
is a ten-year high.
MFPD Disputes
Financial Mishandling
On Tuesday, October 9, Montecito
Fire Protection District released a
statement to the public in response to
statements made at the recent forum
held for candidates running for the
MFPD board. I just want to get the
right information out there and give
the correct facts, Chief Hickman told
us during a recent visit to the fire sta-
tion. The District has released the fol-
lowing statement:
It has been brought to our attention
that there are misstatements being dis-
seminated throughout the community
relating to the Districts financial and
budget status.
First, it has been stated that
Montecito Fire District is operating
under a $2 million dollar deficit. This
is false. The District is not currently,
nor has it ever operated under a $2
million dollar deficit.
Government accounting standards
are somewhat different than what one
might be accustomed to in regular pri-
vate business, and if one is not famil-
iar with these practices, the Districts
annual financial reports might eas-
ily be misconstrued or misread. As
explained by Heather Fletcher, CPA,
Audit Manager of the Santa Barbara
County Auditors office, the Districts
annual financial report for Fiscal year
2011 shows a deficiency of revenues
under expenditures amounting to
$2,177,983. The deficiency occurred
solely during this fiscal year because
MFPD refinanced its CALPERS side
fund. To do so, the District used a pen-
sion obligation bond, which result-
ed in a net savings to the District of
$162,779.
The proceeds related to this bond
were documented on the finan-
cial statement as an other financ-
ing source as opposed to a regular
revenue. To the untrained reader, this
would make it appear as a deficit,
when in fact, there was none.
Another misunderstanding relates
to the Districts accounting practice
of borrowing funds; this specifically
relates to cash flow issues. Government
entities employ a number of tech-
niques to meet cash flow needs that
arise prior to the receipt of semi-
annual property tax revenues in order
to cover normal operating expenses.
The District routinely borrows from
its Land & Building Fund (Station 3
Fund) to cover General Fund expendi-
tures until tax revenues are received.
Because the District has enough
funds in its own accounts, it has been
financially prudent to borrow from
its own funds, instead of from the
County Treasurer or through issu-
ance of other debt instruments, result-
ing in zero interest. According to Ms
Fletcher, borrowings, including tax
and revenue anticipation notes, are
common financing instruments used
by governments to provide for cash
flow needs.
And finally, the funding for Station
3. This is a topic of much discus-
sion. But as it relates to finances,
the District has been setting aside
funds since 2006 for the purchase of
land and construction costs. In April
of 2011, the District entered into an
Option to Purchase Agreement with
the Petan Company to purchase the
identified property on East Valley for
$1,273,862. The District received con-
struction estimates from the archi-
tects of approximately $7,428,475 to
build the station as it was conceptu-
ally drawn for a total estimated cost to
purchase and build of $8,702,337.
Since 2006, the Board of Directors
has set aside $8,548,261 for Station
3. There are several years before the
project is scheduled to break ground,
enabling the District to set aside addi-
tional funds to complete the project.
It is also important to note that the
District also has the necessary funds
set aside to purchase a Structure Fire
Protection Engine and a Wildland Fire
Engine for the new station.

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

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

Protecting the Rights of LTC Residents
SENIORITY

M
ost people are unaware of the
fact that residents in long-
term care facilities have a set
of legally protected Residents Rights.
The Long-Term Care Ombudsman
Program has people go into long-term
care facilities to uphold these rights,
to advocate for the residents, and to
ensure that they are well cared for and
treated with dignity.
People who live in long-term care
(LTC) facilities are more vulnerable
than those of us who live indepen-
dently. The U.S. Congress recognized
this fact and passed the Nursing
Home Reform Act in 1987, giving
nursing home residents legal protec-
tions, which included a set of Resident
Rights. In 1995, the Long-Term Care
Ombudsman Program was successful
in persuading the legislature to extend
Resident Rights to other LTC facili-
ties: boarding homes (assisted living
facilities), adult family homes, and
state operated veterans homes. These
rights include: a right to privacy, a
right to self determination, a right to
be informed of medical treatment as
well as the plan of treatment, the
right to refuse that treatment, a right
to have visitors and the right to be
treated with dignity.
Ombudsmen make unannounced
visits to residential care facilities. If
they see a violation, they educate the
staff and facility owners as to the resi-
dents rights. They try to work with
them to correct any problems before
involving the State of California. Their
primary mission is to speak for the
residents. Before the budget cuts,
Community Care Licensing the peo-
ple that monitor these facilities were
visiting facilities annually to be sure
that they were being run correctly.
After the budget cuts, they were only
required to visit facilities once every
five years. This created a recipe for
disaster. Linda Hardy, the program
manager of the LTC Ombudsman
Program in Santa Barbara County,
noted that facilities could get pretty
lax about not giving residents their
rights under this schedule. It also
made the Ombudsman Program vital-
ly important. There are 152 long-term
care facilities in Santa Barbara County
ranging from six bed homes to 250 bed
facilities. The Ombudsmen visit the
sixteen skilled nursing facilities week-
ly and the 136 residential care facilities
monthly. Their territory extends from
Santa Barbara to Santa Maria.
If you are trying to choose a residen-
tial facility for yourself or a loved one,
Linda recommends that you speak
with residents and their family mem-
bers. Ask yourself if the facility is
clean and if one-on-one care is being
provided for the people who need it.
Go back and see what is happening
at night. You can also check with the
Ombudsman Program to see a record
of a facilitys deficiencies.
The program is in dire need of vol-
unteers. When I spoke to Linda they
had seven volunteers but were in
need of 25-30. It involves a significant
commitment but many people find
it extremely rewarding. Its impor-
tant for Ombudsmen to develop a
relationship with residents so theyll
feel comfortable enough to tell them
about anything they need help with.
Volunteers have the chance to get
to know wonderful seniors who can
personally tell them about historical
events that well soon only be able
to read about. Ombudsman volun-
teers receive 36 hours of class training
followed by ten hours of shadow-
ing more experienced volunteers in
residential facilities. They dont visit
facilities on their own until they feel
comfortable and confident. There is
flexibility in the positions. Some vol-
unteers choose to concentrate on only
one facility while others visit several.
If you have a heart and a respect for
the elderly and time to devote to this
worthy cause, contact The Long Term
Care Ombudsman Program at 805-

BOOK TALK

Back in the Day
J
oe Coughlin, the youngest son of a
high-profle Boston police captain,
had the intelligence, drive, and
support to follow his older brothers
into the profession. Instead, he has
chosen an entirely diferent path, the
swirl and eddy of Prohibition-era
Boston, brimming with speakeasies,
gangsters, rum running, and cops on
the take.
A protg of Tim Hickey, one of the
major crime lords of late 1920s Boston,
Joe has his first run-in with true love
while on the job, where it occurs to him
that almost everything of note that
had ever happened in his life good or
bad had been set in motion the morn-
ing he first crossed paths with Emma
Gould. They met shortly after dawn in
1926, when Joe and the Bartolo broth-
ers robbed the gaming room at the
back of an Albert White speakeasy in
South Boston.
Joe Coughlins creator, Dennis
Lehane, has published nine novels to
date, six of them set in the more-or-
less immediate present. Three of them,
including his latest, Live by Night,
whisk us into a seamless past, vibrant
in its plausibility. This is so because
Lehane does not inflict his research
upon the reader; he makes the past a
vibrant part of the story. We may not
have willingly bought a ticket to South
Boston, 1926, to partake of gang wars,
revenge, and betrayal, but we are there
from page one because we care about
the characters.
Heres how Lehane alerts us to the
depth of connection between Joe and
Emma wed already begun to suspect:
Behind Emmas pale eyes and pale
skin lay something coiled and caged.
And not caged in a way that it wanted
to come out Didnt matter, though.
He was starting to suspect he was in
love with her. In those rare moments
when the cage was opened and he was
invited in, he found a person desperate
to trust, desperate to love, hell, desper-
ate to live. She just needed to see he
was worthy of risking that trust, that
love, that life. He turned twenty years
old that winter and he knew what he
wanted to do with the rest of his life.
He wanted to become the one man
Emma Gould put all her faith in.
Awareness of this smacks Joe in the
viscera early in the narrative, setting
the hook of expectations for emerging
complications.
Although Live by Night is about love
many aspects of that state it is
also about a fraught, lock-step march
of intertwined and relevant dramatic
events across the pages. Heres how
Lehane handles those:
Tim Hickey [Joes boss] once told
Joe the smallest mistake sometimes
casts the longest shadow. Definite
thematic clue here.
A disturbing scene where Timothy
Coughlin, Joes Deputy Police
Superintendent father, joins Joe and
Emma, while having dinner at a res-
taurant.
Tim Hickey got his hair cut once a
week at Aslems on Charles Street. One
Tuesday, some of those hairs ended
up in his mouth when he was shot in
the back of the head on his way to the
barbers chair.
Hickeys successor, Albert White,
makes his new position clear to Joe.
After Hickeys assassination, we wit-
ness a bungled bank robbery, con-
ducted by Joe and the Bartolo brothers.
Three policemen are killed during the
getaway chase, but the shooters were
not Joe or either of the Bartolos, nor
does the tragedy lack a deep vein of
irony.
Here is Emma, in conversation with
Albert White: You said you wouldnt
kill him. And then, Albert shrugged.
Followed by, Albert, Emma said.
That was the deal.
The states attorney tells Joes father,
You turned your son the criminal into
a victim. Thats an amazing trick. Are
you that smart? To which Joes father
replies, Nobodys that smart.
We still have pages to go, some of
them with Joe in prison, some later, in
Florida, in the rum trade, all propelled
by awl-like probing of motives, hidden
agendas, and Dennis Lehanes gift for
dialogue as it should be written.
Live by Night lifts a story of social

Men (and Women) in Black
The recent appearance of a phalanx
of tuxedo-attired men and women in
long black dresses on the shoreline at
Butterfly Beach was no mirage!
Nor was it a wedding party from
the Biltmore, just a tiaras toss away.
Nearly 50 members of the Santa
Barbara Choral Society had assem-
bled, many barefoot, in their formal
concert attire to be filmed for a video
being produced by TVSB in partner-
ship with the choir.
Hallelujah Santa Barbara is a
musical ode to our tony town fea-
turing various configurations of the
100-member troupe at iconic locations,
including the zoo, Mission, Presidio,
the Santa Barbara Bowl, the Granada,
the Chase Palm Park carousel, and the
art and natural history museums.
The singers, as you can see from
the accompanying photo, flash
signs that spell out the words to the
Hallelujah Chorus from Handels
Messiah in time to pre-recorded music.
Mayor Helene Schneider and
County Arts Commission executive
director, Ginny Brush, have cameos
in the video, which will be released on
YouTube on November 1 and linked
to the societys website and those of
participating sponsors.
We have high hopes it will go
viral, says the choirs Marylove
Thralls.
Music to everybodys ears, no
doubt...
Remembering Nooners
It was a solemn but celebratory
gathering of the old Nooners at the
East Beach courts when a plaque,
remembering four past members, was
rededicated.
The Nooners go back four decades
when six young volleyball fanatics
would play between 12 and 2 pm each
weekday, with the number of players
an eclectic mix of lawyers, doctors,
gardeners, accountants, teachers, fire-
fighters, realtors and postmen grow-
ing to 90 within a few years.
We all had handles like
Terminator, Hoof, Mastadon, Romeo,
Tijuana Tiger and the Flying Burrito,
says veteran John Blankenship.
Rules werent written down, but
were understood.
A certain level of skill was required,
but also a decorum of civility, despite
the incessant chatter, name calling and
balls being kicked into the ocean after
a bad shot. If you lost three games in
a row you became a goat and had to
bring a six-pack of beer for the next
match. You didnt last long if you
didnt get it.
To be a Nooner branded ones
level of play and the groups sense
of camaraderie. Loyalty grew strong,
as did the existing bond that brought
them together every day. Most of the
Choral society

Gene Sinser
Candidate for Board Seat
Montecito Fire Protection District
For Measures A & B
First let me thank you again for your
endorsement of me to be elected four
years ago to the Santa Barbara School
Board. I sincerely believe my actions
have proved worthy of your papers
endorsement and I hope you agree. I
am running for re-election at this time
and would ask for your endorsement
once again. It would also be appropri-
ate to discuss with you my feelings on
the need for Parcel Tax Measures A &
B on the ballot.
I realize you recommended opposi-
tion to W & X in June and I tried really
hard to convince the board to lower
the amounts recommended for A & B
and was a little successful but not as
much as I hoped. My intention was to
get them lower in the hopes of gaining
support or at least no position from
those in opposition such as yourself,
the Santa Barbara News-Press and the
Republican Central Committee.
Thanks so much for your obvious
concern about our students having
a quality education with a reminder
that the students in Montecito are
the beneficiaries of funds for a high
level of education and a great many
of them will be continuing their sec-
ondary education in the secondary
schools in the Santa Barbara Unified
School District. It is my hope that we
have the funds available to continue
their education in a very high quality
atmosphere. Thanks so much for your
consideration.
H. Edward Heron
Member, Santa Barbara Board of
Education
SB Unified School District
(Editors note: We are please to endorse
Mr. Heron for re-election, however, we
remain in opposition to any tax hike,
particularly on property owners. These
extra funds simply make it easier for
school administrations to avoid making
fundamental changes to pensions and
other critical budgetary matters. We do
realize, though, how difficult it would be
for someone so close to the educational
establishment to buck the opinions of the
great majority of his fellow members. Best
of luck. J.B.)
Too Much To See Here.
I am responding to David S.
McCalmonts letter to the editor
(Nothing to See Here, MJ # 18/40)
Yes, Mr. McCalmont, we are better
off now that we were four years ago.
First, I looked at the statistics com-
piled by U.S. Bureau of Labor. The
United States went through its longest
and, by most measures, worst econom-
ic recession since Great Depression
between 2007 and June 2009.
The stats are clear. The economy
started losing jobs in early 2008 and
bottomed out between November
2008 and March 2009. During those
five months the economy was losing
about 800,000 jobs per month.
A slow, modest but steady increase
in job creation has produced an
increase of more than 4.6 million jobs
and the unemployment rate had fallen
from 10% to 7.8% between October
2009 and the present. And the work-
force didnt decline during that period
of time, either. It grew by more than
600,000.
This job increase has occurred
despite a very substantial reduction in
public sector jobs such as school teach-
ers, firefighters and police officers.
The Dow Jones Industrial index is
among the most relevant indicators of
the health of the economy.
On Sept. 15, 2008, the day after the
Lehman Brothers collapse, the DJIA
lost more than 500 points. The index
closed on March 9, 2009, at 6,547.05.
Many Americans saw their retirement
savings virtually cut in half. Since that
time the Dow has soared and present-
ly bounces around above 13,000, obvi-
ously double the value it had from its
lowest point. If you have an IRA, a
pension or other retirement account,
the benefits to you are obvious.
Lest we forget what else was going
on in late 2008, the entire financial
system was in jeopardy of implod-
ing. The American auto industry, i.e.
GM, Chrysler and Ford, were teeter-
ing on the brink of bankruptcy, hous-
ing prices in every city and state in
the country were in a state of free fall
and housing foreclosures were rocket-
ing upward at rates unprecedented in
American history.
In addition, the budget deficit
was completely out of control and
undetermined due to the actions of
George Bush and the Congress to fail
to include the cost of two wars in the
budget.
The USA was fully engaged in two
wars Afghanistan and Iraq with no
exit plan whatsoever, to say nothing of
the foolishness that led to the invasion
of Iraq based on lies.
Four years ago everything was
going down and we were on the brink
of disaster.
Our nation is still recovering from
the 2008 economic meltdown, but we
are definitely on the right track and
better off today than four years ago.
Today, largely because of
Republican intransigence, we still
have a long way to go to return to a
really healthy economy, but Obama
has stopped the bleeding and we are
demonstrable on way up, not down.
So, Mr. McCalmont, now we are
reminded of what things were like in
the good ol USA in late 2008.
Are we better off now that we were
four years ago? You decide.
And finally, Barack Obama has
earned my enthusiastic support in
2012.
Sincerely,
Leoncio Martins
Montecito
(Editors note: This letter was edit-
ed; we excised Mr. Martins claim that
every Democrat president (including
Johnson and Carter!) reduced the national
debt, while whod a thunk? every
Republican president, naturally, piled on
debt. But, well let that go. Lets take
the other claims one by one: the Great
Recession had already bottomed out by
March, 09, barely one month into the
Obama presidency, and ended by June,
three months later. In other words, the
recession was over. All we had to do was
wait for the American people to make
things right again. But no, we elected an
agitator, a community organizer, so things
would simply not be allowed to get better
all by themselves. Hence the Stimulus,
QE1, QE1, QE3 (quantitative easing
of the money supply), the bank, insurance
company, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
bailouts, the bailout of the United Auto
Workers Union, etc.
As for the budget, Mr. Bush, along with
a compliant House and Senate, pushed
spending to the outer limits, granted, but
once Mr. Obama got behind the wheel, he
put spending into hyper-drive.
Your suggestion that Republican
intransigence is preventing the U.S.
from returning to a really healthy econo-
my, is laughable.
As for being better off, the average fam-
ily makes about $4,000 less than it did
when Mr. Obama took office, and the aver-
age familys medical insurance has gone
up at least $1,500. So, at a $5,500 loss for
every U.S. family every year over the past
four years, Id have to determine that we
are indeed not better off. J.B.)
The Unqualified
President
For once, most Democrats and
Republicans have something they
can agree on: Mitt Romney did a
masterful job in the first debate with
Barack Obama. Even the most ardent
supporters of the President grudg-
ingly had to admit that Governor
Romney beat the incumbent on both
style and substance. Many will say the
President was distracted or suffering
from oxygen deprivation (thank you
Mr. Gore for continuing to be wrong).
I for one say that our current
President was suffering from idea and
intelligent governing deprivation. For
the first time since the 2008 Democratic
primary against Hillary Clinton the
President was challenged; to say he
lost the challenge would be an under-
statement. Barack Obama was elected
in 2008 for a number of reasons unfor-
tunately not one of those reasons was
because he had any qualifications to
lead this country. He has taken a bad
economy and made it worse. As a
result of his nave approach to foreign
policy he has caused our country to be
viewed with more disdain around the
world than in any time of our history.
In addition, he has emboldened our
enemies but not addressing interna-
tional problems with directness and
resolve. The President has not learned
that there is a difference between
campaigning and governing. As men-
tioned, everything went right for him
in 2008. Based upon his performance
in 2012, one would hope the American
people understand that four more
years of an Obama administration
would not serve the hard working
men and women in this country.

No Notes Allowed
After the disappointing perfor-
mance from our Dear Leader and
in-depth political analysis, here are
some ideas to make the next, and
perhaps all future debates more equi-
table and less shocking to our national
psyche.
1) No notes allowed. Romney
obviously used his handkerchief to
hide trick questions... Obama was
distracted by a piece of paper and

pencil on top of the podium masquer-
ading as a teleprompter.
2) No tough questions unless the
debates are held at sea level. Al Gore
suggested it was Colorados altitude
that caused you-know-whos neurons
to misfire.
3) Debates should not be held within
two weeks of a terrorist attack or if
when any U.S. Ambassadors are mur-
dered. (According to Bob Woodward
this could be why the President was
distracted... or was it because anoth-
er Border Agent may have been killed
with Fast-And-Furious firearms?)
For 12 days following the Benghazi
attack, we were told that an incendi-
ary anti-Islamic parody caused the
Arab Spring to spontaneously blow
a gasket. Some have suggested that
banning all religiously offensive
YouTube videos or applying stringent
FCC standards to internet content
will indeed make Obamas World
safer than Wallys World. Anything
that might make an incumbent presi-
dent feel distracted, uncomfortable,
or look incompetent, prior to a presi-
dential debate, should not viewed by
a national audience. Forget about that
outdated First Amendment thing.
5) For national security reasons, all
questions should be submitted in writ-
ing to incumbent presidential candi-
dates four days prior to any debate or
press briefing. This will allow time for
thorough background checks and pos-
sible subliminal message violations
by uppity moderators or reporters
who may be sending dangerous com-
mands over the airways. Conspiracy
theorists... where are you when your
county needs you?
Several political pundits have
declared that the real Mitt Romney
didnt attend this first debate, Im not
so sure about that, but Im pretty sure
the real Obama did.
Dale Lowdermilk
Founder NOTSAFE (dot) ORG
Montecito
His Mind Is Clear
I wish Joy Knapp was the only per-
son questioning my memory (Letters
to the Editor MJ # 18/39). But in
regard to the years 2004 through 2008,
and the last four years, my mind does
not seem too fuzzy.
I am a lifelong Democrat. I believe
G. W. Bush missed the opportu-
nity of a lifetime (his) by not leading
this country away from retaliation
and instead capturing the incredible
unity available after the attack of
9/11. I believe this country was ready
to pursue independence from oil
producing tyrants and despots; was
ready to take the hard steps neces-
sary to make us stronger and endure
any sacrifices required. We needed
programs for a real energy policy,
for a health care system and atten-
tion to our crumbling infrastructure.
President Bush did not take these
on and misspent the opportunity.
Instead we pursued wars of retali-
ation and demonstrated arrogance.
How wars and revenge could be
more important than nation building
at home is incomprehensible.
But four years ago a bright young
voice came on the scene. A man with
promise (and promises) that we hoped
could unite our people, pull divisions
together and be a strong leader. With
so many problems to face, the oppor-
tunity to make a significant difference
to the country and achieve greatness
had not been that strong since 1960
and JFK.
But now four later, we are more
divided, the wars go on, we have dis-
appointed our allies and alienated the
undecided.
We have no energy policy. We
have neglected our infrastructure.
We have a healthcare program that
has doctors fleeing the profession.
And the promises and hopes that
came from this young and articulate
neighborhood organizer have not
come to fruition.
So if you believe four more years of
the same leadership will bring about
the fulfillment of the promises of four
years ago, then you know your voting
choice.
But if you doubt the current team
can lead the country and the govern-
ment to achieve those promises, well,
change seems appropriate.
A popular definition of insanity is
to keep doing the same thing over
and over again and expect different
results.

Surfing the Middle East
Library Corner
by Jody Thomas
Jody Thomas is the
Montecito Branch
Library Supervisor
O
ur travel series this month
takes us to the Middle East.
Jesse Aizenstat comes to the
Montecito Library on Friday, October
12 at 4:00 pm to talk about the
experiences that led to his new book,
Surfng the Middle East. A political
science major who graduated with
honors but was unable to fnd a
job in his feld after graduation,
Aizenstat decided to combine his
passion for Middle East politics and
his passion for big waves and take
the trip of a lifetime: surfng from
Israel to Lebanon.
The Middle East is thought of as
impossible by many Americans,
and that is exactly why Jesse Aizenstat
set out to experience it through
surfing. In Surfing the Middle East,
Aizenstat passes through some of
the most combustible places along
the Eastern Mediterranean, studded
by rocket craters, barbed wire, tear-
gassed protesters, gunfire, and night
patrols. Finding a shoreline touched
by the best swell in the Mediterranean
proves a welcoming counterpoint to
the tension. But peace, like riding a
perfect wave, never lasts long. Join
us at the Montecito Library at 4:00
pm this Friday, October 12 to hear the
stories behind Surfing the Middle East.
Upcoming Events
Dr. Patricia Bragg founded the
Bragg Health Institute as a living
legacy to honor her father, Dr. Paul
Bragg, and to continue the health edu-
cation and outreach work he began

on Friday, October 26, at 4:00 pm, sto-
ryteller Ann Wisehart delivers more
treats than tricks at this old-fashioned,
spooky Halloween tale telling! Come
in costume! Best for ages 4 and up.
Thursday Crafternoons continue on
all Thursdays in October at 3:30 pm.
The library provides patterns, tools,
yarn and a teacher to learn fiber arts

This will be a facilitated, learning
environment for those who would
like to improve their English lan-
guage skills.
Then, Thursday, November 1, local
author Selden Edwards will be at the
library discussing his new book, The
Lost Prince. Edwards was formerly
headmaster of Crane School, and tran-
sitioned from educator to author. Join
us for an enjoyable afternoon begin-
ning at 4:00 pm.
The library is open Monday
through Saturday, from 10:00 am to
5:30 pm. Inside the doors are books,
magazines, newspapers, DVDs,
audiobooks, computers with internet
access, free WiFi and friendly staff.
We welcome you to come in and

New Day, Old Town
Ernies World
by Ernie Witham
Read more home and garden adventures in Ernies book: A Year in the Life of a
Working Writer available in print and e-book versions at amazon.com
S
aturday we walked to Old Town
Qubec not from Santa Barbara
of course, but from our exchange
house in Canada. Old Town Qubec
has two levels, conveniently called
upper and lower. The upper level
has lots of restaurants, shops, street
musicians, and a promenade in front
of the huge, see-it-from-everywhere-
in-Qubec, Hotel Frontenac, which
I now have more photos of than all
my grandchildren combined. The
lower level also has many restaurants,
shops, more street musicians, and the
occasional hat blown of a tourist on
the upper level.
We took the funicular to the lower
level. The funicular is like a cable car
on tracks that go almost straight down
and is completely glassed in so you can
see exactly where you will end up if the
thing breaks.
Please push forward. More people
coming, the attendant said, as my face
mashed against the glass.
I mow wheb all the nose prints
come frub now, I told my wife.
Oomph, she said.
At the lower level, my wife found
a (surprise!) museum. It was called
Maison something or other. Mainly,
they had a movie that explained the
history of Qubec. First explored by
Jacques Cartier in 1500 or so, who
had trouble settling the place because
everyone kept dying from the elements
some of them probably fell down the
cliff where the funicular is now it
was settled by Samuel Champlain in
1608. He built a fortress to prevent the
British from taking over. That worked
until 1759 when General Wolfe beat
the French and built a new fortress of
stones instead of wood kind of like
the smart pig in that nursery rhyme.
After absorbing as much history as I
could in one sitting, we got on the Eco
bus for our return trip. At first there
were just four of us on the bus, which
had a total of 12 seats four along the
back, four behind the driver facing
backwards and four along one side.
All these surrounded the large auto-
pay machine. Another couple had the
back seats, so we squeezed past the
pay machine into two window seats
facing backwards. This was great until
a couple dozen or so older Americans
from one of the enormous cruise ships
anchored in Old Port got on and wig-
gled their way into the remaining seats
and all the standing room.
How much? a man asked loudly,
pointing at the auto pay machine.
Its free today.
Three? He took out a handful of
coins.
What? My watch says two.
Actually its one, you must be on
the wrong time zone.
Phone? Who you gonna call? We
dont know anyone here.
They serve beer? Ill have a lager.
How much, the guy asked again,
this time louder.
Its free on Saturdays, a local
woman yelled. They are trying to
save gas.
Whos got gas?
Not me this time. I took Beano.
They starting asking a lot of ques-
tions about where they were and
where they were going but the driver
only spoke French. Fortunately one
passenger was able to translate and
got everyone straightened out. Then
she got off.
This our stop?
No we are going to the Frontenac.
Doesnt seem to be a front and back,
just this part we are in.
They sell gin? Skip the beer, Ill have
a Greyhound.
Thats about the time we decided to
get off. But we were wedged in.
You stand, they told my wife.
Well move left, then you, they point-
ed at me can climb over my wife be
careful of her bunion. Ready? On my
count... one... two... three.
Took several attempts and I got
goosed repeatedly by the pay machine
at least I hope it was the pay machine
but we finally made it back onto Rue
Saint Jean. We stopped at Notre Dame
to listen to the church bells, visit the
basilica and pray for cruise ship staff
everywhere. On the way home we
stopped for wine, bread and cheese
the staples of French culture and gin.
There were two competing musi-
cians playing trombones on the corner
by the fortress wall.
Im going to make a new drink
called the Eco. Four ounces of gin in a
three-ounce glass.
How much? my wife yelled.
Free! I yelled back.
She held out three coins. MJ

The following bullet points address
the justifications for the addition of a

the five-minute standard;
Brain cells start to die without
oxygen after five minutes;
Structure fires will develop from
an incipient fire to a fully involved
single room fire within four minutes
(see video at www.montecitofire.
com). Minutes matter;
Response time to the Bella Vista
area can be as much as 12 minutes
currently and would be reduced to
5-6 minutes. A six-minute delay could
be the difference between an offensive
or a defensive approach to a wildland
fire.
It is reasonable to expect a struc-
ture fire to be well involved by the
time we currently arrive on scene in
the eastern end of the District. If it
can be caught early, there is a greater
chance of keeping it to a room-and-
contents fire. A third station would
also increase the chance of survivabil-
ity for the occupants.
The east end residents would be
provided response times equal to the
rest of the District;
Homeowners on the east end of
the District may benefit from lower
insurance premiums due to the closer
proximity of a fire station;
A third station improves overall
fire response and protection through-
out the entire District by increasing
the weight (number of firefighters
and engines) and speed of the fire
attack;
A third station reduces our depen-
dency on mutual aid resource assis-
tance by 50% on an initial structure
fire response;
The proposed location would be a
much more efficient response to free-
way incidents.
The training component includ-
ed in the new station is something
our District desperately needs.
Training is absolutely vital to deliv-
ering the best emergency service.
Currently we are dependent on pri-
vately owned property to accom-
plish training;
The size of the property enhances
our ability to park and store the equip-
ment needs of the District.

this issue.

The District has made every effort
to be fiscally responsible, and not defi-
cient in the balancing of its budget, or
in its planning for the addition of a
third fire station.
MFPD will discuss its finances at the
Districts monthly board meeting on
October 25 at 8:30 am. The public is
welcome to attend.
Fire Prevention Week
In other MFPD news, firefighters
from the department will be teaching
fire safety to elementary school chil-
dren within Montecito as part of Fire
Prevention Week.
Through October 19, the fire engine
companies will visit seven schools
teaching over 800 children how to be
prepared in the case of an emergency.
Topics include how to react in the case
of a fire: Stop Drop and Roll and
Crawl Low in Smoke for preschool
age through second grade. For the
third and fourth graders, the Fire
Safety Trailer is used to simulate real
fire situations within the home. The
children learn how to spot fire hazards
in the home, the five most important
things to say when dialing 9-1-1, and
how to exit the home quickly and
safely.
Parents are encouraged to discuss
and practice their Emergency Plan
as a family.
The schedule is as follows: Montecito
Union, October 11 and October 17;
All Saints Pre-School, October 12; El
Montecito Presbyterian and Mount
Carmel, October 15; Crane Country

In Business: Advanced
Veterinary Specialists
A new specialized veterinary care
practice and 24-hour emergency
pet hospital has opened in down-
town Santa Barbara, at 414 East
Carrillo Street. Advanced Veterinary
Specialists (AVS) opened last month;
this Sunday, October 14, the public is
invited to attend a Grand Opening to
meet the doctors and tour the state-of-
the-art facility.
Owner of the practice, Dr. Andrea
Wells, DVM, DACVIM, gave us a tour
of the new 5,000-sq-ft hospital earlier
this week. We are the only multi-
specialty hospital in Santa Barbara
County, with board-certified doc-
tors and specialized equipment, she
explained. The practice, much like
human medicine, is referral-based;
when a pet has an illness or injury,
which requires specialized care, a gen-
eral veterinarian will refer the patient
to AVS. The practice boasts two inter-
nists, Dr. Wells and Dr. Shannon
Carley, one oncologist, Dr. Rodney
Ayl, and a surgeon, Dr. Sharon
Shields. Three emergency medicine
veterinarians, Dr. Sondra Elson, Dr.
Kristi Gibbs, and Dr. Matie McPeters
are also on the team, along with 25
veterinary technicians. We consider
ourselves an extension of a general
veterinarian, Dr. Wells said.
The hospital, located in the former
site of Santa Barbara Channels, has
been in the works for years, as Dr.
Wells waited to find the ideal location.
With eighteen dedicated parking
spots, a large enough space, and free-
dom to remodel, this was the perfect
space for us, she said.
The hospital has a generous waiting
area, five exam rooms, an ultrasound
room, a operating room, an in-house
laboratory, an oxygen therapy cage,
a large care area with multiple exam
tables, separate hospitalization areas
for dogs and cats, a critical care area
that is sound insulated for greater
comfort for pets, and a quarantine
room for animals with infectious dis-
eases.
The clinic gives the specialists
access to advanced equipment to
perform surgical procedures, cancer
therapy, ultrasounds, echocardio-
grams, endoscopy, chemotherapy,
biopsies, bone marrow sampling,
and more. A digital radiology was
also installed, allowing veterinarians
and patients to download x-rays and
medical information on their smart
phones, computers, and iPads. Dr.
Wells plans to add CAT scan equip-
ment in the near future.
The critical care hospital is open 24
hours a day, seven days a week, and
all holidays. The emergency staff is
prepared to handle a variety of medi-
cal emergencies, including trauma,
breathing problems, toxin ingestion,
vomiting, and more, when other vet-
erinarian offices are closed.
Dr. Wells spent over a year working
with veterinary architects and design
specialists gutting and remodeling the
space; before the space opened she
ran the practice portably, bringing her
own equipment to other vet offices to
give second opinions and specialized
care. After graduating from the UC
Davis School of Veterinary Medicine
in 1997, she completed a medical
and surgical internship at Purdue
University, and her internal medicine
residency at UC Davis. She has been
practicing internal medicine in Santa
Barbara since 2004.
For more information about
Advanced Veterinary Specialists, go
online at www.avs4pets.com. The
Grand Opening celebration takes
place this Sunday, October 14, from 11
am to 3 pm. The hospital is located at
414 East Carrillo Street, (805) 729-4460.

Out of the Mouth of Fran
On Entertainment
by Steven Libowitz
Steven Libowitz has
reported on the arts and
entertainment for more
than 30 years; he has
contributed to Montecito
Journal for over ten
years.
F
ran Lebowitz, the
unapologetically opinionated
New York-based writer, was the
unabashed chronicler of the 1970s. As
a poster child of The Me Decade,
she employed sarcasm, satire, wit and
sharply taut observations to skewer the
culture, the people, the movements and
the resistance.
For those of you not old enough
to remember, think of a combination
of a wryer and wittier David Sedaris
and a more politically incorrect The
Onion, with the levelheaded politics
of Jon Stewart combined with the
self-righteous fervor of a Fox com-
mentator.
Lebowitz was the toast of the
town when her collection of essays
Metropolitan Life was published in
1978. But after penning its follow up,
Social Studies, in 1981, Lebowitz
started suffering what she refers to as
a 30-year case of writers blockade.
But she continued to talk, wherever
people would listen, including late-
night talk shows, and on a 2010 docu-
mentary called Public Speaking.
On Friday, Lebowitz makes her
long overdue Santa Barbara debut
at UCSBs Campbell Hall, where
shell be interviewed onstage by an
as-yet unconfirmed media personal-
ity followed by an audience Q&A. Be
warned: you may never see yourself
or your world the same again.
Q. Ive got to start off with Lebowitz &
Libowitz. They misspell my name all the
time, even when someone emails me after
seeing my byline. As someone famous,
does that still happen to you?
A. They misspell my name constant-
ly. In seventeen different ways.
I also get asked if Im related to Annie
(Leibovitz).
They dont ask me if Im related to
Annie they think I am Annie. And
when I say No, Im not, they say
But you look just like her. Shes a
foot taller than me and shes a blonde!
And numerous people think theres
only one person. It happens also to
Annie. Apparently there are a signifi-
cant number of people who think that
its the same person who takes those
pictures and writes what I write
But Im used to it. The first time I met
Annies mother, she said, Oh, heres
my other daughter.
Do you wake up thinking of witty
things to say? Is it an option or do they
just pour out of you? Can you turn it off
when you want to?
I never think about it. The only time
it stumps me is when I have a pen
in my hand. From a talking point of
view, I never think about it. I dont
know where it comes from, and I dont
care. Its like being tall: you dont
wake up every morning and think,
Will I be six-four all day? The rea-
son its fine with me is because theres
no effort required, and theres never
been a lazier person on the planet.
Mostly I lay around on the couch all
day reading.
Youve alluded to writers block, how
did that happen? You just suddenly
couldnt write?
I dont know. If I knew, obviously

Your Westmont
Museum to Feature
Diverse Works of Alumni
by Scott Craig (photos by Brad Elliott)
F
or the frst time, Westmont
dedicates an entire art show to
its talented alumni in Journeys:
Westmont Alumni Artists Invitational
on October 18-November 17 in the
Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of
Art. An opening reception with the 12
artists on Thursday, October 18, from
4-6 pm at the museum is free and open
to the public.
The alumni, including Ben Caldwell
06, Robin Eley 01, Cheyenne Ellis
00, John Morra 85 and Cheryl Ann
Thomas 65, will display several dif-
ferent types of art such as painting,
photography, sculpture, furniture
design, assemblage and drawing.
Theyll be some great art in varying
media it will be diverse, says Judy
L. Larson, Askew professor of art
history and director of the Westmont
Ridley-Tree Museum of Art. All the
artists have a similar undergraduate
education, yet they have gone in dif-
ferent directions. The work speaks to
the foundation in art that our students
are receiving here.
The show is an important reflec-
tion of some success stories from our
art department over the past twenty-
six years, says Christopher Rupp
00, museum collections manager who
will also be exhibiting his artwork.
The show is in conjunction with the
colleges 75th anniversary and is a
retrospective of where we have come
and where we are going. By no means
is this an all encompassing show its
merely a selection of some featured
alumni. There are many more doing
great things.
Other alumni who will be showing
their work include David Shelton 70,
Judy Neunuebel 69, Joel Phillips 11,
Nicholas Price 06, Sharon Schock
06, and Cory Steffen 97.
The final day to view the current
exhibition, Jan Albert Frst Kolstad:
Prints, is Saturday, October 13.
The museum is open Monday
through Friday from 10 am to 4 pm
and 11 am to 5 pm on Saturdays. It
is closed Sundays and college holi-
days. For more information, please
visit www.westmontmuseum.org or
contact the museum at (805) 565-6162.
Knecht to Shed Light
on Election Fallacies
Tom Knecht, Westmont associate
professor of political science, examines
the U.S. election process and voters
misguided approach to the system in
Youre Voting Wrong! How Americans
Get Elections Wrong And Why It
Matters, on Monday, October 15, at 7
pm at Kerrwood Hall in Hieronymus
Lounge.
The Paul C. Wilt Phi Kappa Phi
Faculty Lecture is free and open to the
public. Jesse Covington, assistant pro-
fessor of political science, and Wayne
Iba, professor of computer science, will
respond to Knechts talk.
As the 2012 presidential election
approaches, Americans confidence
in government has never been lower,
but Knecht says much of the blame is
attributable to voters, not politicians.
To view elections as a selection pro-
cess means you believe a single vote
might affect the outcome of an elec-
tion, Knecht says. It wont. In fact,
you have a greater chance of being
struck by lightning on your way to the
polling booth than your vote mattering
in an instrumental sense. Instead of
instrumental voting, I argue that voting
only makes sense as an expressive act.
I hope my talk will lead people to
reevaluate their philosophy of voting
and elections.
Knecht, a Stanford graduate who
earned a masters degree and doctor-
ate at UC Santa Barbara, has writ-
ten a book, Paying Attention to Foreign
Affairs: How Public Opinion Affects
Presidential Decision Making. He has
also published research papers, A
Pragmatic Response to an Unexpected
Constraint: Problem Representation in
a Complex Humanitarian Emergency
to Foreign Policy Analysis, Vol. 5 and
Humanizing the Homeless: Does
Contact Erode Stereotypes, for the
journal Social Science Research. An arti-
cle, Engaging the Reluctant? Service
Learning, Interpersonal Contact and
Attitudes Toward the Homeless, was
recently published in the journal, PS:

president Nancy Leffert who has
a big heart. Nancy reminded us
that Antioch University was the first
to offer the same programs to men
and women and the first to offer
women tenure. She said, Trustee
Susan Rose was the impetus behind
the program. Judy Bruton created
the program. AUSB needs $250,000
for the first year, including $50,000 in
scholarships and has raised $70,000
already.
This is a certificate, not a degree
program and is designed to fit into
busy lives, taking place over an aca-
demic year. The mission is to teach
the principles of values-based lead-
ership as it relates to women, built
on a platform of self-knowledge,
respect, confidence, and passion
across professional and community
contexts, and to further and enhance
the development of necessary skills
to promote and create meaning-
ful and effective change. There is a
planned launch for 2013. The beauti-
ful new campus is at 602 Anacapa

Lovely Lang Lang
CAMA, the Community Arts Music
Association, kicked off its 94th season
at the Granada in spectacular style,
Pianist Lang Lang, who exploded
on to the international scene as a clas-
sical music superstar when he played
at the opening of the Olympic Games
in Beijing in 2008 watched by five
billion people, was making his third
CAMA appearance, having also per-
formed with UCSBs Arts & Lectures
twice.
The 30-year-old musician doesnt
so much play the Steinway keyboard,
as caress it, bringing out the very best
in everything he performs, in this
case two of his favorite composers,
Mozarts sonatas No. 5 in G Major,
No. 4 in E-flat Major and No. 8 in A
minor and Chopins ballades in
G minor, F Major, A-flat Major and F
minor.
His charmingly dramatic flourishes
just added to the sold-out show, which
ended with an encore of a Chopin
nocturne.
As Ive said before, and Ill say it
again, he is so mesmerizing it is no
wonder they named him twice!...
Crime and Punishment
Ensemble Theatre Company launched
its final season at the Alhecama Theatre
with an imaginative 90-minute adapta-
tion of Dostoyevskys 1866 novel, Crime
and Punishment.
This season is all about the power
of love in its many different forms,
says director Jonathan Fox.
It may seem odd to think of Crime
and Punishment as a story of love, but
its force is felt through much of the
plays action. On one level the produc-
tion is a thrilling detective story, but
its also a fascinating psychological
and philosophical journey.
The award-winning adaptation is
cleverly told in flashback sequences,
with an excellent and intense Brian
Patrick Monahan as the tortured
soul and former student Raskolnikov,
with Peter Van Norden and Kwana
Martinez playing a variety of other
roles.
Stephen Gifford has designed an
austere thought provoking set while
J. Kent Inasys lighting evokes the
solitary anguish the central character
is going through.
The show runs through October 21.
It would be a crime to miss it!
Palatable Arts
The courtyard of the charming
Spanish Garden Inn suffered major
social gridlock with its Arts of the
Palette fundraiser to benefit the Kids
Farmers Market Program, an interac-
tive approach to improving the long-
term health of low-income children
and part of the Foodbank of Santa
Barbara County.
Chefs Greg Murphy, Brandon
Hughes and Nik Ramirez of Bouchon,
Wine Cask and Intermezzo, prepared
the food, paired with wines from the
Margerum Winery and complement-
ed with farmstead cheeses from Cest
Cheese.
Weve done backpacks for kids for
several years and wanted something
different this time, explained res-
taurateur Mitchell Sjerven. This is
a very healthy alternative which kids
seem to enjoy participating in.
Artists adding to the palette
included Elle Yeomans, Cathy Quiel,
Susan Belloni, Rich Untermann, Fritz
Phinney and Ken Pfeiffer.
The event, which attracted more
than 100 guests, was a sell-out, raising
around $15,000 for the cause.

Ballet at the Granada.
The 16-year-old company, which
promotes the latest in modern dance,
didnt fail to please with three enter-
taining, but very different pieces
Square None, Stamping Ground and
Over Glow.
The trio of works showed the influ-
ence of three very different choreog-
raphers, 23-year-old Norbert De La
Cruz, Jiri Kylian and Jorma Elo.
De La Cruzs Square None, with
music by Handel, among others,
was a sleek and refined work, while
Stamping Ground was sans music
until the end, with booming tym-
panis adding the beat, while Over
Glow had a more traditional, classical
feel with music by Mendelssohn and
Beethoven to match.

Rockies, the skys the limit!

was honored at the Santa Barbara
Rescue Missions 11th annual
Downfield on the Bayou football-
themed benefit at the Rancho Dos
Pueblos, a 3,000-acre ranch on the
Gaviota Coast.
The bash, which attracted 322
guests, raised more than $300,000 for
the mission, which helps more than
1,500 needy folk annually, with food,
accommodation and job help.
Our annual budget is more than
$2 million and the amount raised here
runs us for two months, says Rolf
Geyling, president. The numbers we
help goes up about ten percent annu-
ally and really stretches our funding.
We also have a thriving drug and
alcohol recovery program, which has
a huge impact on people.
While only twenty-one percent
of those completing treatment pro-
grams nationally maintain their sobri-
ety beyond five years, we are proud
that fifty six percent of our graduates
remain in recovery over this same
time period.
The honoree, who has jewelry stores
in the Upper Village and on State
Street downtown, and his wife, Patty,
have just returned from Bosnia from
his latest Summit for Danny climb
in memory of his late son, who died
from a drug overdose in 1995. In
his memory he founded the Daniel
Bryant Youth and Family Treatment

The peaks werent particularly
high, but the inclines were very, very
steep, says Bob, who was elected
Santa Barbaras Man of the Year in
2000 for his community leadership in
the prevention and treat-
ment of alcohol and drug
abuse.

COMING & GOING (Continued from page 26)
brought in Valentina Belyayeva St.
Gilear, President and Head Designer
of Stanley Hagler NYC. Most recently,
Ms Murphy arranged for Susan
Gravely, president and CEO of Vietri,
to spend an afternoon at Coast 2 Coast.
Ms Gravely founded her com-
pany 29 years ago, along with her
sister Frances and their mother, Lee
Gravely. The name came from Vietri
sul Mar, the village where her first
orders were placed. We thought it
was a perfect name, she says as we sit
down during her Sunday, September
30
th
appearance at Coast 2 Coast in La
Arcada. Once people can pronounce
it, she adds. She says it was perfect
because the syllables taken separately
and reversed in Italian or in French
trois vies, means three lives. The
three of them saw it as an omen of
good luck.
Two years after her father died unex-
pectedly of a heart attack at the age of
60, Susan and her mother took a trip
to Italy and thats when this whole
concept occurred, she recounts.
Susan was studying at the New
York School of Design, thinking I was
going to be in interior design. My
sister (Frances) had two young babies
and she had her masters in structural
design, so she did lots of graphics, a lot
of marketing things at the university.
Because Frances had children to
take care of, Susan became head of
sales and president of the new com-
pany, even though she was the young-
er sister. She moved back to Chapel
Hill, North Carolina (Frances lived
there with her two young children)
and started out of an extra room in
Frances house.
Thanks to a serendipitous meeting
with a man named Fabio Puccinelli
on their flight to Italy, who later
helped them get a new passport and
replace some of the travelers checks
lost when Susans mothers handbag
was stolen, Vietri was on its way.
Fabio became their agent and negoti-
ated their first contract.
We came back (this was in 1983),
started researching what was in the
market and (with the help of Mr.
Puccinelli) negotiated our first $20,000
contract (which seemed like $20 million
at the time). All these pieces were com-
ing and we didnt have a warehouse,
and we didnt know how we were
going to sell them, but we knew there
was some way people got things.
The ceramic plates came by ship and
were dropped off in Norfolk, Virginia.
Susan found a trucker to bring them
to North Carolina, and convinced a
friend with a small coffee shop who
had a warehouse in Durham to rent
her space. It was March 21, 1984, and
we hired students, my mother brought
friends, we went to a bus station and
got people who were just hanging
out and we opened every box, hand-
counted ten thousand pieces and
created our first inventory list. We
shipped our first order in October that
we had gotten from Neiman Marcus,
a $12,000 order. And theyve been an
account of ours for 29 years.
Vietri now sells to about 2,000
specialty independent stores in the
U.S., along with major department
stores such as Neiman Marcus, Saks,
Bloomingdales, and others. Vietri also
has outlets in Canada, Australia, Chile
and Saudi Arabia, and just shipped an
order to Korea.
Vietris appeal?
We work with factories that are still
run by family craft people or maestros
and we try to be respectful of their
expertise, Susan explains. Some fac-
tories deal in molds and shapes, oth-
ers in hand painting, others in black
clay, others in red clay, she continues.
We try to create a product that has a
story behind it. If it is from the Veneto
region it has markings from Venice. If
its Tuscan, its paintings of Tuscan life
or the clay is from Tuscany.
What makes Vietri special is that
every pattern is unique for Vietri and
unique for the market. Some have lim-
ited runs, some weve had for thirty
years. We keep a dinnerware pattern
for at least six to seven years, and
we keep accessory lines two to three
years.
Groups of (mostly) women move
through the shop on a busy Sunday,
and many purchase a Vietri item that
Ms Gravely very carefully signs (put
it in an oven at about 200 degrees for
fifteen minutes to bake the signature
in, she advises).
Coast 2 Coast Collection may only
be a year old, but it has already
become one of Vietris VIP locations.
Congratulations to all.
Its A Rap
From Russell Roberts
The date: Wednesday, October 17;
the time: 8 pm; the place: Campbell
Hall on the campus at UCSB; the
reason: a talk called Whats Wrong
with Capitalism Do-overs and the
Death of Responsibility; the speak-
er: Russell Roberts, a George Mason
University economics professor and
now fulltime Hoover Institution
research fellow. He is already the host
of EconTalk, a popular weekly pod-
cast, has written several novels featur-
ing economics, and is a frequent NPR
commentator.
Roberts tells us by phone that he is
going to talk about crony capitalism,
try to give people a feel for a lot of
the causes of the financial crisis. The
coddling of banks, even in the past
and how that created the seeds of the
crisis.
Russell Roberts is also the guy
that wrote the now-famous fic-
tional YouTube rap between John
Maynard Keynes and F. A. Hayek that
has so far been viewed by nearly six
million souls. His most recent book
a novel is: The Price of Everything:
A Parable of Possibility and Prosperity.
Another of his novels The Choice
was named by Business Week as one of
the top ten books of 1994, and chosen
as one of the best books of 1994 by the
Financial Times.
I conducted the following short
interview with Mr. Roberts via tele-
phone last weekend:
Q. With a $16 trillion debt and climb-
ing at least to $20 trillion even if the flow
of money is stemmed, and with the only
other currency with worldwide circulation
the euro printing money as fast as
the U.S., what is the end game?
A. Where are we going? Right now,
for reasons that are not fully under-
stood, the world is happy lending
money to the U.S. government. For
whatever reason, the world is not
as scared about this as you might
think. One explanation is that we are
the tallest pigmy. There is so much
uncertainty in the world that the U.S.
Treasury is seen as a pretty safe invest-
ment. Other than that, Im concerned.
When you are the worlds dominant
currency, you can print money until
people dont want your debt anymore.
I dont know when that will happen. I

think the U.S. government is playing
with fire.
Since the $800-billion-plus stimulus
was added to the budget the following year
and the years after that, is it still consid-
ered stimulus?
Beats me. Its all just a marketing
game. If State governments spent less
because of the stimulus, what do you
call that? If you look at total spend-
ing, it went up by $820 billion at the
federal level for two or three years, so
there is an ongoing debate on whether
the net stimulus was large or small.
Its just sort of the new baseline.
Most of the deficit is due to the auto-
matic spending that cant be changed
by Congress. I dont think thats true.
It is true that a lot of governmental
decisions have been made about how
much the government spends. We
spend 3.7 trillion dollars, which is
about a trillion more than we take in,
and a lot more as a percentage of the
economy than we did five years ago,
and it doesnt seem to have made
the economy particularly healthy. It

is possible it would have been even
worse without it, but theres no evi-
dence for either side. Its just a bunch
of people yelling at each other, pre-
tending theyre talking about science,
but theyre not really.
Why hasnt there been a bigger outcry
against Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?
Political hacks were put in charge and
walked away with tens of millions of dol-
lars. No one, as of yet, has even insisted
upon an investigation or in clawing back
some of that fraudulently gained money.
Why not?
The political demand for doing
something about it is very small,
because most people dont under-
stand it. Increased home ownership:
who could be opposed to that? The
rise in the price of homes began in
the late 1980s, but starting in 95, both
Clinton and then Bush got behind
increased home ownership and it real-
ly accelerated. People believe Fannie
and Freddie have something to do
with holding down interest rates but
other than that, there isnt any under-
standing of what exactly they do.
Is there any chance that Keynes gets
taken off the pantheon of economists and
is replaced by Mr. Hayek?
Im just happy that Hayek is now
in the pantheon. Keynes opinions are
always going to be popular because
they offer easy short-term solutions.
What is the first thing you would do if
you were elected president?
If I were president, my campaign
slogan would be: Back To Normal.
It wouldnt be a Giant Tax Cut; it
wouldnt be a big Spending Increase.
I would try to get the governments
profile down so that people could
make decisions about the future with
some reasonable expectation that
whats going to happen is not going
to be so unpredictable.
I would get rid of the governments
stake in every single private company;
Id sell off the GM stake and the AIG
stake. Make it clear that were going
Back To Normal. The very first thing I
would do is to try to change the rela-
tionship between the government and
the banking system. That, I think, is
the biggest, most pernicious, poison-
ous thing we have to deal with. Its
been a disastrous public policy. Its the
underlying cause of the mess were in.
Does it matter who is elected in
November?
Not as much as most people think.
I always like to point to Obamas for-
eign policy. If you went back in time
to November 2008 and said, Let me
tell you what it will be like in the fall
of 2012. The United States will have
bombed Libya, assassinated Osama
Bin Laden on the soil of an ally with-
out involving them in the decision,
Guantanamo Bay will still be open,
and were still in Afghanistan. Who
would you say won the election? All
those things were expected of McCain.
I have a dream that Romney, coming
from Bain Capital, could actually be
tough on the banks. But its a dream,
not a reality. I do think if Romney is
president it is probably likely there
will be smaller increases in spending
in the future than under Obama, but
I dont think hes going to shrink gov-
ernment. As for his promise to clean
up the tax code, Ill believe it when I
see it.
Its shameful that President Obama
hasnt put forward a workable budget.
Could we really get serious about spend-
ing and lop off, say, $700 billion from the
budget without sending us back into reces-
sion?
Well, I dont believe lopping off $700
billion from the budget would neces-
sarily put us back into a recession. It
would, however, be a sign to the rest
of the world that we are serious about
getting our budget into shape.
If government inaction is the best course
of action and it often is how do you
present that to the public without being
charged with indifference?
We get the government that we
deserve. Kicking the can down the
road is very appealing. If you raise
your kids that way though, how does
it turn out? The impulse to spoil your
kids is very attractive. But, most of
us dont spoil our kids all the time
because the consequences down the
road are bad.
My last question concerns something
Ben Stein said this morning on FOX
News: that no president could or would
have done anything differently than what
Obama did. Do you believe that?
I think the more interesting question
is: were there choices that we could
have imagined. I understand [Steins]
point. Theres a lot of political pres-
sure to act dramatically and to keep
banks from failing. I think what we
did to prop up the banks was a terrible
mistake. It was bad for capitalism. It
was bad for democracy and I think the
costs will be paid down the road. And,
I certainly dont think we needed to
bail out the auto industry and I dont
think we needed to spend an extra tril-
lion dollars above and beyond what
we were taking in. I can see the politi-
cal pressure for all those things, but I
think they were all mistakes.
The Man
On The Space Shuttle
We thank Helga Morris for the follow-
ing report written by Valerie Harrison:
For millions of central and southern
California residents, the site of the
Shuttle piggybacking on a giant 747
would be the first and last time they
witnessed a spacecraft in flight. The
Endeavour flew over our skies on
September 21.
With remarkable timing, one of the
astronauts of the last crew to fly the
Endeavour visited Santa Barbara on
September 27 for a luncheon presen-
tation at the Santa Barbara Club. Dr.
Gregory Chamitoff, a graduate of
Cal Poly, MIT, and Cal Tech had the
audience captivated with his descrip-
tions of living in space aboard the
International Space Station (ISS).
Though the topic is complex, Dr.
Chamitoff capably told of the advanc-
es to science, health, astronomy, engi-
neering, the climate, and the current
experiments being conducted on the
ISS. From vaccines to shingles, the
unique gravity-free environment has
provided scientists with capabilities
not possible on earth.
The movie shown and produced by
Dr. Chamitoff had the audience feel-
ing as though they were riding along
with him on the Endeavour and work-
ing in the space station. The views
of the earth and the black sky only
possible from outside our atmosphere
were astonishing.
Dr. Chamitoff makes his home
in the Houston area with pediatri-
cian wife, Chantal Caviness, and
seven-year-old twins Dimitri and
Natasha. The ISS flies over Earth
about every 90 minutes and for
six months during 2008, with their
father on board, the children were
able to view their fathers home
from their backyard. During that
time, Greg lived on the ISS, con-
ducting hundreds of experiments,
speaking to schoolchildren in the
U.S., and performing ISS duties.
The ISS is the brightest object in the
sky, circumnavigates the Earth at 240
miles high and moves quickly from

ENTERTAINMENT (Continued from page 34)
it would no longer exist. If you know
whats wrong you can fix it. But I
dont know. So I dont have an answer.
Cant you just talk into a tape recorder
and transcribe it?
It wouldnt work. Talking and writ-
ing arent the same. I wish they were.
But they are not. I know this because
Ive tried to do these pieces on a single
subject for Vanity Fair. Someone inter-
views me, and back come one hun-
dred pages that I have to take down
to ten. Heres what you discover: no
human being speaks in sentences that
go into paragraphs that you would
want to read. There are certain people
who think they are the same thing,
and thats why so much of what we
read nowadays seems like what you
would overhear in a bar. That isnt
writing in my estimation.
How was the experience of making the
documentary with Martin Scorsese?
(Pauses) I can truthfully tell you
that were still friends. All the Marty
aspects of it were incredibly enjoy-
able, because I really had a good time
talking to him. All the movie aspects,
by which I mean well, heres what
I know about Marty: if they had not
taken Taxi Driver away from him, hed
still be editing it. I saw the movie that
Marty made about me seven times; I
saw seven completely different mov-
ies. Hes such a perfectionist, which
makes him a great artist. But after
the sixth time, I told him, Marty, its
perfect, because I realized neither
one of us might live long enough for
him to finish it. And he goes, Really?
Didnt you think the music during the
National Book Awards made it differ-
ent to hear what you were saying?
And I said, Marty, you put the music
on there. If you think its too loud,
take it off!

More recently you recorded the audio
version of the Fran Lebowitz Reader,
compiled from your two early books. How
was it to revisit the time when you wrote
those essays? Do you still feel the same
way?
Some of those were written in 1971
when I was twenty-one. Its a com-
pletely different world, as different as
if Id move to Pluto. But from a writ-
ing point of view, I thought Thats not
bad for twenty-one! I am cursed
with an excellent memory, so I did
remember many things even about
my life from that time as I was writ-
ing them. So it was a highly unusual
experience. Ill say that at least.
But how have you changed over the
years? Have you mellowed?
No, Im more radical, which is a
shocking thing, and not a natural one.
Because it has nothing to do with me,
and everything to do with the era. Ive
always been just a pretty standard
liberal Democrat. I still am. When I
was young, most of my friends were
more radical than I was. As we got
older they became more conservative.
The whole country did. So now I seem
to be some sort of wild-eyed radical!
I dont think Ive ever changed my
mind about politics, but the world has
moved very much to the right.
Youve always been a sharp-tongued
observer of modern manners. Im thinking
the mobile phone and iPad must be the
bane of your existence.
I dont have any of these things.
But its not deliberate. Its because
theyre machines. I dont even have a
typewriter. When they first invented
the computer, it was called a word
processor. I went to look at it and
thought its just a very fast typewriter.
I dont need this. Now, its too late for
me to get these things. But with the
iPad, I notice these machines seem
to be getting closer to the old yellow
legal pad. So at some point, I think it
will be close enough to an actual pad
that it will be easier to use and Ill get
one then.
Youre coming to speak in Santa Barbara
for the first time. I think a place this laid
back and slow and where were into hiking
and biking and surfing, where everyone
thinks theyre a writer and nobody reads
would be the opposite of paradise for you.
Ive been there before; I just didnt
call you. But this is my first time
speaking And yes, those are not
things I ever do. I do have to agree
that Santa Barbara is exceptionally
beautiful. But what other people think
of as nature and a wonderful place for
outdoor sports, I think of as a great
view.
Have you ever found yourself not hav-
ing an opinion about something?
(Pauses) Not really. Like most of my
fellow Americans, I do not have to
have knowledge to have an opinion.
Everyones entitled to an opinion. Not
everyone is worth listening to. In fact,
no one is worth listening to.
I think you just explained how
Americans vote.
And pretty much everything else.
Whose Live Anyway?
Ryan Stiles loves to drive. Well, its
not so much that he likes driving as
that he hates flying. Which is partly
why the former star of the popular
ABC-TV improv comedy series Whose
Line Is It Anyway? refused advances
to join any of producer-creator Dan
Pattersons new shows in Britain after
the series ended. Also why, most of
the time, the Whose Line alumni,
who tour as Whose Live Anyway?

Dear Dr. Kaye,
Thanks so much for taking away my aches and
pains. Because of my arthritis some body part was
always in pain.
I was on a camping trip and because of my
Parkinson Disease I tripped and fell on my right
side injuring my face hand and shoulder. After
a couple of treatments I fully recovered. One of
the most notable events occurred when I had a
herniated disc and couldnt walk. After a shot
of cortisone I didnt have pain but I couldnt lift
my toes to walk properly. When my neurologist
examined me he was delighted that my recovery
was so dramatic and quick,
Tank you for taking your time and listening to what
I have to say. You genuinely enjoy helping people.
Dorothy Littlejohn
perform on tours of the West Coast,
easy driving distance from Stiles
home in Washington State.
When it comes to actually perform-
ing with the gang on stage, however,
Stiles definitely loves to be the man
in charge.
You need someone to drive the
scene, Stiles explained over the
telephone last week in advance of
the UCSB A&L show that will bring
Whose Line veterans Stiles, Greg
Proops, Chip Esten and Jeff Davis
to the Granada Theatre on Tuesday,
October 16. Colin [Mockery, his
longtime improv partner] and the oth-
ers can be great at coming in and
doing jokes, but if it gets on the wrong
track, I can bring it back to where it
should be. Ive always been good at
finding humor in realism, and I like
to do it. I get to set who and where
we are.
As executive producer of Whose
Live, Stiles also gets to set which
games the troupe will play at each
tour stop. Which is why you wont see
Hoedown too often, despite the fact
that it was one of the most popular
segments on the TV show.
That was one of the ones I got sick
of because they didnt allow you to do
a scene, he explained. The stage [on
TV] was only ten feet wide, so we had
to do things like Prop, Worlds Worst
and Hoedown, because we didnt
have room to do big scenes. They
were really just jokes. The things with
a story were the funnier ones for me.
This despite the fact that he always
went last on Hoedown and thus had
lots of time to come up with a stanza
that both fit and rhymed. People
think it was easy but unfortunately
everything I would think of some-
body else would do. By the time it got
to me, everything easy was used up.
So Id just throw away the first thing
that came to mind and find something
else.
Its not that Stiles has anything
against music. In fact, Greatest Hits,
in which Stiles plays an infomercial
host hawking a made-up CD package
while Esten and Davis compose and
perform invented songs on the spot
(accompanied by longtime pianist
Bob Derkach), is one of his favorite
moments in the show.
Those segments were only forty-
five seconds on TV, he said. Now
they can take their time. And we can
go as long as we like without having
to stop the action for commercials. Im
always amazed at what they come up
with.
Also among his favorites: Sentences
(in which the cast reads random lines
contributed by the audience, inserted
willy-nilly into the scene) and Freeze
Tag, where cast members sub out for
each other having to assume the same
physical position and the person they
replace while totally altering the sub-
ject of the scene.
Those are all long form, which give
us plenty of time to get into it and
actually act a bit, Stiles said.
The secret to success is remembering
the two rules of improv: Listen and
always add information, never negate.
You cant go out with something in
mind of what youre going to do. You
cant look for a scene, you have to add
info and see where it goes. If you say
I really love those shoes, I cant just

Camerata Pacificas principal pianist
Warren Jones was asked by the
ensembles artistic director Adrian
Spence to be the featured artist for
this months program, the ever self-
effacing musician also much loved
locally for his role as the chair of the

Crumbs early Solo Cello Sonata,
closing with Jones performing one
of Brahms last compositions, Sechs
Klavierstcke, Op. 118. In between,

Poet of piano Murray
Perahias tone on the piano has
been called warm and silky by
The New York Times, and indeed
the pianist is known for the fuency
of his style as well as his pristine
articulation. The double Grammy

of Chopins complete Etudes and
three of Bachs English Suites) has
also won several Gramophone
awards and was awarded the title
of KBE (Knight Commander of the
British Empire) in recognition of his
outstanding service to music. One

new production of Donizettis comic opera
LElisir dAmore (The Elixir of Love) kicks
off the seventh season of Metropolitan
Opera Live in HD simulcasts, now

Italian countryside, LElisir is directed by
Bartlett Sher, with Maurizio Benini
conducting. Megastar soprano Anna
Netrebko makes her Met role debut
as the beautiful landowner Adina, with
Matthew Polenzani as Nemorino,
the simple peasant who falls in love with
her. Mariusz Kwiecien sings Adinas
arrogant fanc, Sergeant Belcore,
while Ambrogio Maestri plays the

Khan you feel it? The Persian
poet-philosopher Rumi usually inspires
quiet meditation more than mesmerizing
movement. But that hasnt stopped
Akram Khan, the artistic director of
the U.K. dance company that bears
his name, from creating an evening
length work that draws inspiration from
Rumi and the Suf tradition. In Vertical
Road, which gets its Santa Barbara
debut, Khan who frequently infuses
his modern works with classical Kathak
dance idiom and who choreographed
a segment in the Opening Ceremony
for the recent London Olympics has
created a riveting dance investigation
of humanitys journey between the
earthly and the spiritual. Lauded by
a critic as A fantastic feast for the
senses, Vertical is a profound, visceral
meditation on human nature, rituals and
the consequences of actions, featuring
a pulsating score by longtime Khan
collaborator Nitin Sawhney. WHEN:

Over 40 & still fddling around No
fooling, the Old Time Fiddlers Convention
and Festival is in its 41st year, and
while its gone through some changes in
recent years, the basic format has stayed
pretty much the same since bluegrass/
old time music pioneer launched the
event on UCSBs campus back in 1971.
Whats changed is a greater emphasis on
professional entertainment, as the festival
now provides a second main stage for
live bands to play: This year boasts a
fne mix between locals and touring acts,
including Laurie Lewis & the Right
Hands, Genticorum, Cache Valley Drifters,
Modal Tease, Kalinka, Nick Bachman &
King Baby, Jim Wimmer & Stu Mason,
and the Honeysuckle Possums. But theres
still plenty of time for musicians and all
sorts of old time instruments from guitar
and fddle to banjo, upright bass and musical saw to vie for prizes and applause
during the day-long competition, and even more opportunities to jam the day away
at impromptu gatherings all around the grassy grounds at the Stow House, or take
a workshop in a variety of instruments and styles. While the focus remains on old
time songs on the competition stage, Irish, bluegrass, Gypsy jazz and pop tunes are
spoken in the jam session as the players see ft. And if youre lucky, you might see
some truly virtuoso musicians (like the famous French violinist Gilles Apap, who
loves to hone his mountain music skills at the event) accompanied by talented if rank
amateurs at any given moment. And you can feel good knowing youre doing good
just by attending: all proceeds support Rotary Club of Santa Barbara Sunrise local
and international community service projects. WHEN: 10am-5:30pm WHERE: 304

neighbor both geographically (New
Orleans) and musically. Dr. John, aka The
Night Tripper aka Mac Rebennack,

exploration of the connections between
jazz, blues, and gospel, a partnership that
began when the good Dr. appeared on the
Blind Boys Grammy-winning CD Down in

say Thanks. So Ill go, Yeah, me too.
I bought sixty-four pairs. Then the
jokes show up by themselves. If some-
one asked me that, Id say, Do you
ever mix them up?
As talented as the members of the
cast who have known each other
anywhere from 14-38 years the real
star of the show, Stiles said, is the
audience, who makes up all the sug-
gestions for each segment. But some-
times hes not even aware theyre
there, Stiles said.
I get so into what Im doing, try-
ing to be myself in these situations. I
dont have ongoing characters. I dont
have the salty sea captain I can pull
out when I need it. I dont keep the
best ones. I want to do different things
every night, and get so far inside the
character that sometimes I dont even
see the crowd. And I never know what
Im doing until I walk on stage.
Dying to See the Show
In recent years, local theater compa-
nies have joined a new trend of per-
forming plays pop up style, meaning
in various venues outside of the tradi-
tional proscenium or black box. Weve
seen shows in parking lots behind
book stores, at the courthouse jail, in
warehouses and churches, tucked into
the tiny space of a storefront winery in
the Funk Zone, crammed up against
couches in a hookah lounge, and even
in an empty swimming pool at a pri-
vate house.
But a funeral home?
Morbid perhaps, but an inspired
setting for Endgame, Samuel Becketts
absurdist drama where the open-
ing lines repeat the word finished,
while the rest of the play explores
the idea that existence is cyclical with
beginnings and endings inextricably
intertwined. Genesis West, which
began the pop up theater trend a few
years ago, takes on Endgame in the liv-
ing room at McDermott-Crockett and
Associates Mortuary (2020 Chapala
Street) October 12-27 (Call 969-5637 or
visit www.genesiswest.org for tickets
and information). Gen West founder
Maurie Lord, who also directs, gave
us the gritty details on the show.
Q. A mortuary? Really?
A. Fun for the whole family, and
aisles of smiles Seriously, it works
really well for the piece. Its a great
location and this work has a lot more
stuff, garbage cans, etcetera, so it
needs a space with a little more gravi-
tas than a totally mobile show.
Why Endgame?
Its Becketts absurdist masterpiece,
about two ailing people who drive
each other crazy at the end of the
world. It touches upon the human
condition and our need for connec-
tion and each other. Its considered
absurdist but at the root of it theres
nothing more true. Everything makes
perfect sense. Just not on the surface
much like real life.
But its also a well-known classic, some-
thing you rarely do.
Its the Rosetta Stone of modern
theater. Everything thats great comes
from this play. So many of the shows
Ive done were clearly inspired by
this piece. So this is the only classic
I would do. Its the one. And its an
honor to work with such rich material.
With Brian Harwell, Tom Hinshaw,
David Brainard and Julie Anne
Ruggieri, youve got some of your com-
pany favorites in the cast, too.
Its a stellar group who are real-
ly embracing the challenges and the
importance of taking on these iconic
The High One Fives
Real Estate by Mark Hunt
Mark and Sheela Hunt are real estate agents with Village Properties in Montecito. They live in
Montecito with their daughter Sareena, a freshman at SBHS. His family goes back nearly one
hundred years in the Santa Barbara area. Marks grandparents Bill and Elsie Hunt were Santa
Barbara real estate brokers for 25 years.
B
ased on recent activity, and
following up last weeks article
(New On The Market), a
number of the best buy picks weve
highlighted continue to sell. Last issue
I wrote about four diferent properties
and two of them are already in escrow.
The issue before that, three out of four
of the properties highlighted went into
escrow. Heres hoping this is a sign of
increased sales activity for the area.
This week, we are featuring four
homes in the $1.5 million range, all
just under $1.6 million, or in Real
Estate parlance, homes in the high
one fives.
This $1.5+ million price range seems
to be a current sweet spot, meaning
that one can get perhaps a half acre
or more, or a guest unit and spacious
lawn, or a big ocean view, or a full acre
with five bedrooms and ocean views
in the Cold Spring School District,
etc advantages that more recently
would be associated with more expen-
sive homes.
2780 Torito Road
$1,575,000 (recently reduced from
$1,675,000)
This is a smaller (two bedrooms,
two baths) home on a 1+ acre lot in the
foothills of Montecito, on the border
of Summerland and Carpinteria. The
ocean views are stunning and unique,
as there are very few other view
homes in this immediate area this
high up and this close in to the ocean.
This king-of-the-mountain view home
is hit directly with the early morn-
ing light. It features a sunny location
and views of the Channel Islands
and Montecito foothills from dawn to
dusk. There is a veranda overlooking
the spectacular Santa Barbara South
Coast, a private driveway with park-
ing for guests and you are near the
end of the road, so there is very little
if any traffic. Torito Road is just a few
minutes from the 101 freeway, just off
of lower Toro Canyon Road, at the
eastern edge of the Montecito foot-
hills. It is not in a Montecito school
district, but it is in the highly desirable
Summerland School District.
116 Palm Tree Lane
$1,595,000
This recently remodeled Montecito
cottage is on one half acre, at the end
of a cul-de-sac in the lower Montecito
village! There is a private fenced area
and attractive gate for guests, lead-
ing to the front yard and entrance,
in addition to a driveway and park-
ing area for cars. The home offers a
versatile floor plan that includes two
bedrooms plus an office, two baths,
a family room, kitchen and dining
area with hardwood floors, and a
fireplace in the living room. There is
a separate guest room and bath with
a private entrance for visitors or
extended family. There is also a two-
car garage, sprawling lawns, mani-
cured gardens, and fruit trees. This
home is convenient to the shops and
restaurants on Coast Village Road
and is located in the Cold Spring
School District.
1907 San Leandro Lane
$1,595,000
This home has three bedrooms and
three baths and features a single-level
contemporary design on over half an
acre of land. Located at the end of a
shared drive, near Crane School and
the beach, I feel this is an opportunity
to own a rarely-available-in-this-price-
range upgraded contemporary home
in Montecito with privacy and a close-
in location. High ceilings with walls of
glass and French doors access a court-
yard, backyard deck, and side-yard
wooded setting. Hardwood floors in
the living room, dining room and
more, help to give the home the feel-
ing of a private, warm and inviting art
gallery. There is off-street parking for
guests and a car port. One note is that
a portion of the home is set up to have
a separate entrance, if more privacy
and certain dual living features are
desired. This home is very new to the
market and is located in the Montecito
Union School District.
528 Barker Pass Road
$1,595,000
This home is also newer to the mar-
ket and features just over an acre of
land, toward the end of a private lane
off Barker Pass Road. The home is in
a private setting and boasts a compel-
ling tucked-away view of the ocean,
islands and Santa Barbara Harbor. Part
of the house has been recently re-mod-
eled including the brand-new kitchen
with stainless steel Bosch appliances.
There are five bedrooms and three
bathrooms in the house and excellent
views from the main living room,
kitchen and family area. The prop-
erty includes a two-car garage and
additional parking areas for guests.
Additionally, there is an upper pad,
where the house sits now, and a lower
pad, that the listing agent is advertis-
ing could take an accessory structure
or provide an area for animals. It is
situated in the Cold Spring School
District, per listing information.

Not long ago, an
expansive view

would have been
out of range for
potential home
buyers in the

million-dollar
range
Two-bedroom,
two-bath cottage
on a half acre
on Palm Tree
Lane features a
private hideaway

This modern con-
temporary single-
level 3-bdr, 3-bth
home is near
Crane School and
the ocean, and is
in the Montecito
Union School
District
Views such as
this from the

roles. Julie is mostly known for musi-
cal theater, and shes totally too young
for the role, so were aging her up and
throwing her in a trash can. I totally
abuse actors.
So will you be using caskets and cadav-
ers as additional props?
Theyll be interspersed in the audi-
ence. No, Im just kidding. Seriously,
were very respectful of the space.
People do have emotional ties to it.
Were not going to make light or mock
the space were in. We have a rever-
ence towards it and to the material,
which ties in together. It adds to the
nature of the piece, making it a more
immersive experience. It really trans-
forms the standard night of just going
out to see a play.
Pop up is all youre doing now. Will you
ever go back to Center Stage again?
Never say never, but no. I think
my days of doing black box stuff
are behind me. Ive done forty plays
there. And this is way more interest-
ing. The audience listens more. Doing
it in a special space with lots of feeling
makes the actors step up and the audi-
ence pay attention. No matter how
good you are in a theater, you can only
hit a certain height. But here the sky is
the limit of what we can do in terms
of touching people. Were all sharing
this experience.
