The Future of Cabrillo Blvd-Hot
Springs Interchange
R
esolution of the future
of the 101 interchange
at Cabrillo Blvd-Hot
Springs came into sharper
focus last Thursday when City
of Santa Barbara Planning
Commissioners unanimously
favored one of the fve Caltrans
design options, commonly
known as the F-Modifed
alternative.
Comments made by mem-
bers of the City of Santa
Barbara Planning Commission
are especially significant to
Montecito residents because
the Cabrillo-Hot Springs inter-
change (and the Montecito
roundabout) lie wholly within
the boundaries of the City of
Santa Barbara. Once a preferred option is selected by Caltrans following the
end of the public comment period on July 9, detailed planning, engineering and
aesthetic issues will be addressed. Caltrans will then need to come back to the
City of Santa Barbara Planning Commission for a Coastal Development Permit
and final approval.
After three hours of discussion and extensive public input, individual com-
ments by the seven City of Santa Barbara planning commissioners reflected a
remarkable consensus on five important issues:
1) Left-lane on-ramps and off-ramps on the new six-lane 101 will be elimi-
nated. Caltrans offered a compelling case to commissioners that left-lane ramps
do not meet current state or federal highway standards for a variety of reasons.
Drivers expect right-lane on/off ramps. Slow-moving trucks in the right lane
would have to cross two lanes of high-speed traffic to negotiate a left-hand exit,
and that is dangerous. Caltrans has thoroughly researched the Design Exception
Process in an attempt to accommodate left-lane ramp proponents, but conclud-
ed that the retention of left-lane ramps is not possible because such an exception
would open Caltrans to legal liability for engineering a highway improvement
they knew did not meet federal or state design standards.
2) Los Patos Way is not acceptable as the southbound entryway for beach
traffic to enter 101. Designating historical Los Patos Way as the preferred south-
bound 101 on-ramp would require traffic leaving the beach to make a difficult
left-hand turn onto Los Patos at a Cabrillo Blvd intersection, where traffic nar-
rows to one lane each way. In addition, a Los Patos on/off interchange would
negatively impact the adjacent Andre Clark Bird Refuge. Environmental devo-
tees would never allow increased car traffic within the East Cabrillo Parkway
Historic District to threaten wetland habitats of local and migratory birds such
as herons, coots and gulls. Third, Stella Mares, Cafe del Sol and other busi-
nesses on Los Patos would be negatively impacted by the creation of an exit
ramp in their front yard. Finally, raising the Union Pacific railroad underpass
to accommodate big trucks is estimated to cost as much as $90 million; it
would make better sense to re-allocate that money to widen the Union Pacific
railroad bridge underpass at Cabrillo Blvd, which is the current culprit in the
beach traffic backup. Collectively, these concerns eliminate alternatives J, M or
M-modified from consideration.
3) F-Modified is the preferred Cabrillo-Hot Springs alternative. The City of
Santa Barbara planning commissioners each expressed a preference for the
F-Modified alternative. F-Modified calls for two northbound exits: one being
the existing Hermosillo Drive exit for local traffic, and a second being a new
exit, taking beach-bound traffic directly onto Cabrillo Blvd, bypassing the lower
village and the Montecito roundabout.
The F-Modified alternative was designed by Caltrans engineers in response
to a request by some 200 Montecito residents who vigorously objected to
Alternative F, which made Hermosillo Drive the sole northbound traffic exit

for Santa Barbara rocker Tim
Lopez.
Tim, 31,who plays lead guitar for
the Grammy-nominated band Plain

in NBCs new series Ready for Love,
which is being executive produced by
Longoria, who co-starred on the hit
ABC comedy-drama series with Teri
Hatcher, Marcia Cross and Felicity
Huffman, for eight years until its final
broadcast last month.
The new show, produced
by Longorias UnbeliEVAble

ful and handsome men, handpicked
by the 37-year-old Golden Globe-
nominated actress, who are commit-
ted to finding the right woman.
They will try
to accomplish
that with the
help of three
mat c hmake r s ,
while prospec-
ti ve femal e
candidates can
apply using a
new Facebook
app, which will
also be used to
showcase the bachelors.
Tim, who was married for three
years after an 11-year romance, will
be joining Ben Patton, an internation-
al financier from Dallas, Texas, and
Ernesto Arguello, an entrepreneur
from Miami, Florida, on the series,
which kicks off this fall.

will live in a different house where
they will receive personalized advice
and mentoring.
At the end of each week, everyone
will convene on a state of the art stage
in front of a live audience to watch the
dates and receive feedback from the
matchmakers, with the women who
fail to make a connection with the men
sent home.
In the finale, the three men will
choose their final three women, who
together must decide if theyll get
engaged, married, or simply live hap-
pily ever after.

Tecolote Launch
There was quite a crowd at Tecolote,
the tony tome temple in the Upper
Village, when Michigan author Suzy
Farbman launched her latest book,
God Signs, Health, Hope and Miracles:
My Journey to Recovery.
Former journalist Suzy, the sister of
Montecitos Anne Towbes, took five
years to write the tome that recounts
her diagnosis with stage four uter-
ine cancer, her medical treatment and
eventual recovery.
It is her second work, having pub-
lished Back From Betrayal: Saving a
Marriage, a Family, a Life eight years
ago.
She and her former real estate exec-
utive husband, Burt, just celebrated
their 45th wedding anniversary.
The new book came easier than the

The best little paper in America
(Covering the best little community anywhere!)
I
was just reading the recollections
of Jo Ann Lorden in the Letters
to the Editor (Still A Special
Place MJ # 18/24). I remember
Kingsleys well, and it just happened
to be next door to me here at 1225
Coast Village, where Mischief is
today. Also Gil Rosas went from
the Somerset to the Olive Mill
Bistro, which was the restaurant and
cocktail lounge in the Montecito Inn.
The wonderful singing bartender
had been bartender at the Montecito
Country Club for years until he and
his wife (who was the hostess at the
Bistro), came to the Bistro.
Barbara Doran, Manager
Kathryne Designs, Inc.
P.S. Sandra Denton works next
door to me at Mischief and we talk all
the time about our memories of Coast
Village and town.
(Editors note: Well, now we need to
find out who the singing bartender is/
was! J.B.)
Sammys Scoop
Ive been reading your letters about
the old Coast Village Road and Id
like to add one of my many memo-
ries. This one is about the space before
Ginos (Ginos Had The Best Fries
MJ # 18/24). I used to be a waitress
for Sammys Scoop, which was the
restaurant before Ginos. Gino was
the bread delivery guy; he bought the
business from Sammy. Sammy ran
his restaurant by himself with just
one waitress: me, from 7 am to 2 pm.
There were two waitresses on Sunday
because he would open up the outside
patio then. He cooked all the food
himself (I was the dishwasher as well
as the waitress), and he specialized in
Italian food. He would make special
dishes, such as squid, for his favorite
customers.
I wore a white uniform and country
music would play; every morning I
would feel like I should be on a side
road in Nebraska instead of Coast
Village Road. I would see my regulars
drive up and Id yell at Sammy the
regulars order and there would be a
cup of coffee waiting for the custom-
ers when they came in. On the wall
Sammy had a mural of a local musi-
cian or painted by a local musician
at the time , which I remember hav-
ing a circus or parade theme but can-
not remember the mans name even
though I hired him and his group to
go and serenade my mother one St.
Patricks Day at her home. A man
named Carl lived in the apartment
out the back door and would order
food to go by just calling out from his
apartment.
I loved that job.
Nancye Andriesse
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: Thank you for a most
vivid description of what a sleepy back-
water Montecito was in the 1950s J.B.)
The Holy Cow?!
Thanks for printing my note
(response to A Little More History
MJ # 18/24). I remember a hamburger
joint across and down from Peabodys
called the Holy Cow, but not as early
as the 50s, probably the early 70s.
Hope Bryant
Montecito
(Editors note: If there is anyone out
there that remembers the Holy Cow, please
send us your recollections, as nobody here
can recall such a place J.B.)
remembering The rubs
As I stated in a previous let-
ter (Correcting The Record MJ #
18/22), so many things come to mind,
especially when I read your Letters to
the Editor. This is just some more
information.
In response to: Down Memory
Lane: In the forties, the current
location of Luckys was the home of
Christian and Mrs. Rub (pronounced
Roob). Mr. Rub was a feature player
during the era of black and white
movies. He appeared in movies until
1952. He bore a remarkable similar-
ity to Geppetto in Disneys Pinocchio.
One of the Rubs regular visitors was
their friend Madame Ganna Walska.
My uncle was Tony Ramirez, grand-
father to Richie, of Richies Barber
Shop just down the street on Coast
Village Road. He used to do some
work for the Rubs until he was hired
by Madame Walska, whom he worked
for, for many years.
I played at the Somerset Restaurant
from 1961 to 1968 when we (Paul
Vercammen, Otto Berger and I)
opened the Olive Mill Bistro in June
of 1968. The Perez brothers took over
the lease of the Somerset at midnight
of New Years Eve 1967. When we
opened the Bistro (that is what every-
body called it at the time), we used
the same furniture that had origi-
nally been purchased for the Marco
Polo, owned by Jim Porter. Later,
Art Snyder, of the Colony Prime Rib
House on Hollister, took over the lease
and for a time there was a Colony
Prime Rib House (East) at the corner
later occupied by the Bistro.
Art had the Marco Polo furniture,
which was originally a dusty rose color,
painted a dark ink green. That was
the furniture we utilized at the Bistro.
Later some of that furniture was used
by the new Montecito Caf. When Jim
Porter opened the Marco Polo (that
date escapes me now but it was around
1963 until about 1966), he didnt have
any prices on the dinner menu (Beverly
Hills influence). That idea didnt go
over at all. Jim did have an active enter-
tainment scene featuring the Barbara
Neece Trio. I dont know how in the
world I remember this because I havent
thought about it since.
The Marco Polo dining room was
our bar and his bar was our dining
room. We took over our lease from
Art Snyder. I believe the Somerset
Restaurant closed about 1978 (that
would have made it a ten-year lease).
Otto and I later sold our interest to
our partner Paul Vercammen and he
sold the Bistro shortly after my depar-
ture in 1980. I hope this helps a little
bit about what used to be on Coast
Village Road. Even as I write this so
many other things come to mind.

The Bird refuge Stinks
(but its okay)
Village Beat
by Kelly Mahan

F
or the last week and a half, bike
path users, beachgoers, and
Santa Barbara and Montecito
residents, as well as travelers along
the 101 freeway through Montecito,
have had their noses assaulted by a
noxious odor coming from the Andre
Clark Bird Refuge. The manmade lake,
known simply as the Bird Refuge,
emits the stench every few years,
some worse than others, according to
Parks & Recreation assistant director
Jill Zachary. Ms Zachary, formerly of
Santa Barbaras Creeks Division, has
helped oversee the Bird Refuge for
the last decade, and explains that the
odor is the product of several colliding
factors.
The lake, which is part of a 42-acre
open park space, is a habitat for over
200 species of birds. The 29-acre Bird
Refuge lake includes three islands that
support breeding and roosting birds
and haul-out locations for the south-
west pond turtle, a California Species
of Concern. The area was once a salt
marsh, receiving fresh water from
Sycamore Creek, but the construction
of the Union Pacific Railroad in the
1880s rerouted the Creek, isolating the
marsh. After a $50,000 donation by
Huguette M. Clark in 1929, the lake
was turned into an artificially modi-
fied estuary.
Because it is essentially a closed
system, with no fresh water running
through it, there is poor circulation,
Zachary told us earlier this week.
Water is added to the lake via rain-
storms and runoff from the 844-acre
watershed, including roadways and
Highway 101. The watershed area is
mostly residential, but also consists
of a golf course (Montecito Country
Club), tennis courts, a portion of the
Santa Barbara Zoo, and the cemetery.
The water enters the lake via a mix
of open channels and storm drains.
The lake is connected to the Pacific
Ocean through a tide gate system
located adjacent to the north side of
Cabrillo Boulevard and passing under
that roadway. Its not like a creek,
where there is water constantly flow-
ing, she said. That fact, combined
with warm weather and cloud cover,
causes algae to both bloom and die,
causing a stench from decomposition.
Its been an issue for close to a cen-
tury, Zachary said.
The eutrophication, as its called,
is being monitored by Parks & Rec
staff, according to Zachary. Since last
week, its improved dramatically, she
said. Its our hope the decomposition
period will be over soon.
Zachary says nothing can be done
to solve the problem in the short term.
In past years, the City has added fresh
water to the lake, in an effort to allevi-
ate the stench. But this year, the lake is

Long-term solutions are being
looked into, Zachary said. Parks &
Rec is currently working with the
Creeks Division to examine the lakes
ecosystem, and perhaps finding solu-
tions to better manage the water and
restore the habitat. Funds are being
set aside from Measure B, a Transient
Occupancy Tax, through the Creeks
Restoration & Water Quality Project.
We are figuring out how to restore
the lake in a way which supports both
the wildlife habitat and is more bal-
anced for urban needs, Zachary said,
explaining that in the 1920s, when the
lake was built, the area around it was
not as populated, so the stench from
eutrophication was not as impactful.
The project is expected to cost one
million dollars, due to complicated
studies and permitting; it will begin
in June 2013.
Smaller scale maintenance began
earlier this year (see MJ #18/6), with
a five-year vegetation maintenance
project. The purpose of the project is
to restore water flow and conveyance
in the lake, and reduce the potential
for mosquito production and flood-
ing. In February, crews began removal
of vegetation within the lake and the
removal of silt and vegetation from
the culvert along Old Coast Highway
and from an open culvert entering the
Bird Refuge at the northern end. To
prepare for the project, the City com-
pleted bird surveys, vegetation map-
ping, and wildlife surveys; the proj-
ect required permits from the City
Planning Commission, U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, Regional Water
Quality Control Board, California
Department of Fish and Game, and
the California Coastal Commission.
Vegetation removal occurs monthly to
help keep the storm drains clear.
Ms Zachary says the eutrophication
is not harmful to the creatures in the
lake. We have not observed turtles
or crustaceans jumping out of the lake
for oxygen, she said. The lake does
not have a fish population, with the
exception of the gambusia species,
which eats mosquito larva. We are
not concerned the species is in dan-
ger, she added.

he Heart of Hospice of Santa
Barbara is a group of individuals
dedicated to creating a circle of
compassionate support for accessible
hospice care in Santa Barbara. Their
chairperson Jill Nida (who has worn
many hats for Hospice of Santa Barbara
for 24 years) invited interested friends
to a cocktail reception to launch
the Heart of Hospice. Jill told me,
Hospice of Santa Barbara (HSB) is
the second oldest in the United States.
My dad died when I was thirteen and
there was no one to go to in those
days.
Kenneth and Elizabeth Slaught
generously opened their stunning
home high atop a hill overlooking the
ocean. It was perfect weather to be on
their terrace sipping and tasting the
delicious delicacies.
Executive director Steve Jacobsen
was eager to have us see the new
video they have produced. When he
began his job in 2008 for HSB, they
were serving about 260 people every
month. Now it has doubled to over
500. There is never a charge to those
they help because of an endowment,
so 100% of all donations goes to sup-
porting and expanding services.
HSB has many facets: helping indi-
viduals and families cope with grief
related to the loss of a loved one, car-
ing for anyone facing a life-threatening
illness, support groups for all ages led
by licensed professional counselors,
and complimentary therapies such as
massage, touch and energy, just to
name a few.

Wine Tasting
for new Beginnings
The people behind New Beginnings
Counseling Center invited folks to
join them for an evening of wine tast-
ing, nibbling and networking at the
Carr Winery located in the Funk Zone
on Salsipuedes Street. We also met
their new executive director Kristine
Schwarz, who wanted us to celebrate
the work of this vital organization.
Carr served up flights of wine while
local jazz and blues quartet Bossa
Blue performed with a Brazilian fla-
vor. There was a long table of good-
ies, including dessert, and a table of
silent auction items, plus a raffle. The
winery was packed with happy peo-
ple enjoying the spring wine tasting.
Among them was the new president of
the board Diane Pannkuk (shes also
the grand poopah of the Montecito
July 4 parade). Other board mem-
bers present were Gail Rappaport,
Bruce McRoy, Kathryn LePage, Steve
Daniels and Scott Kvancz, along with
Susan Rose and Allan Ghitterman,
and Lou and Mary Cannon
Kristine told the audience, There
are fifteen hundred homeless peo-
ple in Santa Barbara. Some think its
triple that. New Beginnings serves
more than a thousand unduplicated
individuals each year in our clinic.
This is done through collaborations
with the Housing Authority, the Isla
Vista Youth Project, the city, county
and countless area nonprofits, and
through our long-running Life Skills
and Homeless Outreach and RV Safe
Parking Programs. The latter has been
replicated by communities across the
country and featured on NBC Nightly
News, NPR, PBS, CNN and the Larry
King Show.
New Beginnings was founded in
2000 to provide psychological coun-
seling and educational programs to
lower income individuals regardless
of their ability to pay. New Beginnings
needs continued financial support.

C
ould anyone other than Larry
Rachleff turn nearly 100
admittedly gifted but new-to-
each-other instrumentalists into an
orchestra that sounds so stunningly
sensitive and cunningly cohesive in
less than a week? Maybe so, but after
several years of alchemic success at the
outset of Music Academy of the Wests
Summer Festival, there is no reason
to even look anywhere else. Once
again, the music director of the Rhode
Island Philharmonic, Rice Universitys
Shepherd School Orchestras and the
Chicago Philharmonic has his work
cut out for him, as the opening concert
for the Academy Festival Orchestra
features three diverse and challenging
works in John Adams Short Ride
in a Fast Machine, Stravinskys
Firebird Suite, and Beethovens
Symphony No. 7. Chances are itll
sound so great on Saturday night at the
Granada, you wont believe your ears.
Then on Tuesday at Hahn Hall,
Rachleff conducts the academy wind
and brass faculty in early 19
th
century
French composer Vareses Octandre,
before winding up his two-week
sojourn to Montecito by leading the
fellows-populated Academy Chamber
Orchestra in a precarious program
featuring Mozarts Overture from
The Abduction from the Seraglio,
Messiaens Couleurs de la Cite
Celeste and Coplands Appalachian
Spring, also at Hahn Hall on Saturday,
June 30.
We caught up with Rachleff last
Monday afternoon, following the first
rehearsal on Day One of the summer
festival.
Q. This is just the latest of several
years in a row that youve been the first
conductor of the season. What does it take
to turn one hundred young players, most
of whom have never met, into a symphony
orchestra in just six days?
A. A belief that it can happen, and
that they can do it. Its just a slow
crescendo of improvement that hap-
pens every year. Theyre very, very
talented. It just takes a while for the
vitamins to kick in. Particularly if
youre doing any works from the clas-
sical period. And were doing a rare
Beethoven symphony rare in that
it isnt normally performed by larg-
er ensembles, rather than chamber
orchestras. That kind of thing takes a
fair bit of time to establish.
Has it ever occurred to you to ask the
administration if you can come in at the
end of the season just once and not have
to do all the legwork?
[Laughs] I think its mostly a sched-
uling vantage point. I seem to be
busier later in the summer, and this
time works out for both of us. But I
do enjoy it. I love being here. And this
year I came directly from Sarasota
where I had a similar challenge with a
student orchestra.
Lets talk about the program for this
Saturdays concert: how do the pieces fit
together? What are the most challenging
aspects? What should the audience listen
for?
There isnt really any thematic
thread. I think the goal is to establish
the ensemble routine for the summer
season by making sure everybody
has good things to do. Between the
Adams and the Stravinksy, the wind
and brass and percussionists will have
their hands full. And the Beethoven
will help establish the breathing and
sound and commitment of the play-
ers. The program features two great
masterpieces that certainly fall in the
top 20 of the hit parade, the most
frequently performed chestnuts. And
theyll be previewed by John Adams
hot, rocking Short Ride, which is
one of the more relevant works of the
late 20
th
century. Its a very taxing pro-
gram because of the diversity last
years Brahms and Strauss were more
joined at the hip than this program.

Strong Start to the Season
by Steven Libowitz
By the end of first week theyll have
tasted a wide variety of colors and
styles and manners of playing.
For the fourth year, youre also conduct-
ing the Academy Chamber Orchestra on
the second weekend. How does the smaller
ensemble differ from the larger Academy
Festival Orchestra? Is that second week
easier because the players already know
you and each other?
I dont know if its easier. Its always
a challenge. The chamber orchestra
has a higher responsibility quotient
for each of the musicians, of course,
because theyre fewer people involved.
The Mozart offers some of same chal-
lenges as Beethoven, the Messiaen is
like Adams and then some and
Copland is a mixture of romanticism,
and classicism with Coplands own
special American voice.
This Weeks Summer
Festival Events
Master classes are already under-
way afternoons at Miraflores. The so-
called backbone of the summer festi-
val, the events are the nexus between
public performance and coaching ses-
sions. The fellows perform a short
piece or a movement from a concerto
(usually about 15-20 minutes), and
then receive tips on everything from
tonal quality to bowing (for strings)
or blowing (for wind and brass) tech-
niques to emotional connection to the
piece. Most faculty members encour-
age interaction with the audience, but
even if youre only observing, these
incisive teaching moments are often
the most elucidating of all. Theres still
plenty of time to choose a young artist
or two (or more) to follow throughout
the summer or just sample as your
tastes and schedule permit.
Here are other highlights from the
upcoming week:
Wednesday, June 20: The academys
vocal fellows undergo a rigorous train-
ing and performance schedule that
culminates with the annual fully pro-
duced opera on the festivals penulti-
mate weekend followed by the more
light-hearted cabaret. On Wednesday,
all 22 of the singers and all six of the
vocal pianists are introduced via short
arias or art songs that are performed
without critique or coaching (other-
wise wed be here til midnight) from
the famed voice program director
Marilyn Horne and the remarkable
vocal piano chair Warren Jones, who
of course will be on hand to present
their summer students (3:15pm; Hahn
Hall; $19/$17 students & seniors).

Zeitlin had already announced his
retirement from full-time teaching and
been named the Music Academys
first Professor Emeritus when he
passed away early last month at age
90. Tonights Tribute Concert was
originally slated to include a perfor-
mance by Zeitlin who at 11 became
the youngest scholarship student in
the history of Juilliard, and eventually
performed the entire violin repertoire
with great orchestras under legendary
conductors Leonard Bernstein, Zubin
Mehta, Christoph von Dohnnyi,
James Levine, Pierre Boulez and oth-
ers trained fellows at Miraflores for
nearly 40 years. Now, the event will
feature speeches and tributes by his
colleagues from both Music Academy
of the West and beyond, a performance
of Schuberts Fantasie in C Major, D.
934, by faculty artists Jeff Thayer (vio-
lin) and Jerome Lowenthal (piano) as
well as a video retrospective compiled
by academy board member Robert
Weinman (7:30pm; Hahn Hall; $40).
Friday, June 22: Fasten your seat-
belts as Fred Carama whose resum
includes stints at Cal Arts and the
Manhattan School of Music once
again conducts the first traditional
vocal master class, where fellows get
feedback on technique and approach
(3:15pm; Hahn Hall; $19/$17 students
& seniors). Also, while the first piano
master class of the summer took place
last Monday, the venerable faculty
member Jerome Lowenthal unofficial-
ly kicks off his 43
rd
season with the
fourth annual Pianofest, in which
the estimable pianist collaborates with
his summer students over a series of
shorter pieces from each of the solo
piano fellows. Expect to be wowed
(7:30pm; Hahn; $29).
Tuesday, June 26: Its doubtful the
Music Academy has ever tackled
as ambitious an opening concert as
tonights Tuesdays @ 8 recital. Twenty
different faculty members are par-
ticipating in the program that boasts
Fallas Suite Populaire Espagnole,
Vareses Octandre, Debussys Villon
Songs and Liszt: Rigoletto Paraphrase,
topped off by the closing Saint-
Saens: Carnival of the Animals,
narrated by the great diva herself,
Marilyn Horne. Its likely well be
talking about this one all summer
(8pm; Hahn Hall; $40).
Wednesday, June 27: John
Churchwell, the head of music for San
Francisco Opera, previously served
as an assistant conductor for both San
Francisco and the Metropolitan Opera.
Over the course of 80 opera produc-
tions hes worked with conductors
James Levine, Nello Santi, Donald
Runicles and Sir Charles Mackerras,
among others, and in recital has part-
nered on piano with such vocalists
as Joyce DiDonato, Diana Damrau,
Dawn Upshaw and David Pittsinger.
So its a good bet the three or four
lucky Academy fellows who get to
sing and receive feedback in todays
master class will pay close atten-
tion to what Churchwell has to offer
(3:15pm; Hahn Hall; $19/$17 students
& seniors). MJ

Bye, Bye,
Bi-Coastal Bob
I am writing this on the 40
th
anni-
versary of the Watergate break-in.
Having lived bi-coastal (sometimes
bi-polar) for decades, with a pen-
chant for Montecito, Montecito Journal
is looked upon by the Palm Beach
crowd as oh so chic... So when I had
a party down here for Gordon Liddy
(one of the Watergate Plumbers) a
few years ago, it was looked upon as
Montecito Bob having a party for
Watergate Gordon.
Throw in the dozens of fans Gordon
has due to his personal code of silence
and his easy access as a gracious but
mysterious chap, he clicked very well,
warmly and graciously with the mon-
eyed and long-established success of
Palm Beach, Florida. As we kidded
Gordon for being the first federal pris-
oner hosted in Palm Beach, his easy
intellect responded with great humor.
Perhaps the next party should be in
Montecito, no?
The very best wishes to my old
93108 and 93109 friends.

robbed Again!
(The following is an open letter to
all members of the Santa Barbara City
Council along with taxpayers)
Dear Mayor and Members of the
City Council:
You are proposing a 16.2% increase
between the sewer, water and waste
hauling utilities, which is unconscio-
nable.
I am personally outraged that your
Council would allow a public busi-
ness entity such as Channel Keeper
to rob the public treasury of tax-
payer funds for the settlement of
a lawsuit that has been mentioned
repeatedly in the News-Press (but
never specified how much Channel
Keeper actually received), and then
to turn around to the taxpayers and
mandate that they make up the dif-
ference in the public treasury! Ive
not seen anywhere any reference
to the fact that the City and UCSB
were working cooperatively to iden-
tify where leaks were occurring and
the follow-up repair, and that the
amount of leaks were declining over
the past few years. In other words,
the Council and UCSB were con-
ducting a successful program with
identifiable and positive results.
Instead, Channel Keepers bends the
information to its own purposes and
hijacks the public treasury.
The insult to injury here is that the
majority on your Council dont seem
to care one iota for the wellbeing of
the contributors to the public treasury:
the taxpayers and their ability to pay
or lack thereof. To propose a 16.2%
increase this year, on top of a 13.6%
increase for these same utilities in
2011, is irresponsible. You as trustees
of the public treasury are failing in
your responsibility.
In addition, I raised the issue last
year and Ill raise it again: why is a
City employee doing the billing for a
private sector company that now has
a monopoly status in the City? Why
isnt the trash-recycle hauler doing its
own billing? Why are taxpayers paying
a City employee pension and health
benefits for a lifetime, in order for that
employee to do the haulers billing?
Council, in my view, we the taxpay-
ers have been robbed once again!

All Stokered Up
I wanted to touch base with you
in regards to our state senate race. In
the primary we beat [Hannah Beth]
Taxin Jackson 46% to 41% with Hodge
getting 13% of the vote. The good
news is recent polling showed we get
approximately 75% of the Hodge vote.
Breaking that down, had it been just me
and Jackson in the primary we would
have beaten her 55% to 45%. When you
analyze the vote based on a general
election turnout model, the edge drops
to us beating Jackson 52% to 48%. So
the bottom line: this is going to be a
very close race. You might remember
in 2008 Strickland beat Jackson by only
1 vote per precinct.
The significance of this race should
not be overlooked. There are the
obvious reasons of what kind of per-
son you want representing you in
Sacramento. However, this race also
has statewide implications as this seat
is considered the firewall from the
Democrats getting a Super Majority in
Sacramento. I win, they dont get their
super majority. I lose, they do get the
Super Majority with Taxin Jackson
leading the way.
The district is almost 200 miles long
and has almost one million people
residing in it. I need them to con-
stantly advise me as to happenings.
Invite me to join you at a service
club luncheon. invite me to attend
church with you. Invite me to meet
you at a Chamber mixer. Dont be shy;
invite me to events you are attend-
ing to have me meet more people
in the district. You can always reach
me by email at mikestoker@aol.com.
To donate, go to our website: www.
stokerforsenate.com.
And most importantly... have a great
weekend and for all you fathers out
there, heres hoping you had a Happy
Fathers Day. You deserve a day off to
be pampered and treated like a king.
Thanks again for all your support
and help.

(Editors note: The following tribute was written by Veronica Uellner DeCoster)
Linda Uellner 1947-2012
In Passing
T
he measure of life is not the number of
years, but how those years are lived.
In that respect, Linda Uellner lived an
incredibly full life, continually infuencing
others with her generosity, ingenuity,
compassion, and unconditional love.
Linda was born to James and Floella
Downs on March 27, 1947, at the U.S. Naval
Hospital in Millington, TN. A self-pro-
claimed Navy brat, she never stayed long
in any one place, but her favorite childhood
memories were of living abroad in Naples,
Italy, and time spent with her two brothers
on the Potomac in Tall Timbers, Maryland.
The family finally settled in Carpinteria,
where Linda attended high school in the
early 1960s. Following graduation, she married and had two daughters with
Michael Franklin. When the marriage ended, she lost a husband, but gained
custody of the Franklin clan.
The true love of Lindas life was sparked by a dead battery. At the neigh-
borhood Shell station, Linda met owner Robert Uellner, who fell in love with
her and her girls. Linda and Bob married in 1977 while living in Santa Ynez.
Five years later, after returning to Santa Barbara, their son was born.
Linda had been active in the Montecito business community for the last 40
years, initially as co-owner of Coast Village Shell and, more recently, Coast
Village Chevron and Olive Mill 76. She served as an officer and member of the
Coast Village Business Association for many years and was a regular sponsor
of fundraising activities in Montecito.
Although Linda will be remembered for her many attributes, perhaps most

for beach-bound traffic, destroying the character of one of Montecitos prime
neighborhoods.
All residents of Montecito owe a debt of gratitude to Martha Siegel, Sybil
Rosen, JAmy Brown, Carla Tomson, Sheena Berwick, Mark Hacken, Darryl
and Linda Hickman and John and Diane Handloser, among the many Montecito
residents who worked together to persuade Caltrans engineers to add the new
F-Modified option to their 650-page Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR).
In their deliberations, city planning commissioners recognized that F-Modified
may lengthen construction time and could create an elongated temporary
impact on local traffic. The commissioners expressed a need for Caltrans to
provide detailed construction schedules and options during construction to
minimize and mitigate local traffic concerns.
4) F-Modified restores a southbound on-ramp at Cabrillo Blvd, eliminating
the need for beach traffic to clog Coast Village Road. Closure of the former left-
lane southbound on-ramp at Cabrillo Blvd has been a colossal mistake because
it forced departing beach traffic onto Coast Village Road to enter the 101 at
Olive Mill, just past the Montecito Inn. A new right-lane on-ramp at Cabrillo
Blvd will correct this mistake. In addition, F-Modified creates a new right-lane
southbound off-ramp at the Cabrillo/Hot Spring to replace the current left-lane
ramp.
5) Re-routing northbound beach traffic directly into the Montecito roundabout
is a poor option. City of Santa Barbara planning commissioners opposed any
alternative that included an off-ramp that funnels beach-bound traffic directly
into an enlarged Montecito roundabout. The concern was that the added traffic
would clog the roundabout with beach-bound buses, beach delivery trucks and
out-of-town beachgoers. The choice of F-modified removes beach-bound traf-
fic from both Coast Village Road and the Montecito roundabout by creating a
direct right-lane off-ramp to Cabrillo Blvd.
Decisions by Caltrans and the Santa Barbara Planning Commission at the
Cabrillo-Hot Springs and Olive Mill interchanges will affect residents of
Montecito for the next 50 years. Degraded neighborhoods and overloaded traffic
circles can never be restored. The Santa Barbara planning commissioners have
done an excellent job of analyzing alternative choices and wisely recommending
the best alternative to keep 101 bypass traffic out of Montecito. Their planning
conclusions will help protect the special character of our village, decrease the
frustration of local residents and support the health of local businesses. MJ

Fashion Faux Pas
Britney Spears has been sporting a
series of stylish outfits since taking on
the role of a judge on Simon Cowells
Fox show The X Factor.
But it seems without the help of a
team of wardrobe experts, the singer
doesnt fare so well in the style stakes
as a recent trip to Santa Barbara so
clearly showed.
The 30-year-old sported quite a
bizarre ensemble consisting of a tight-
fitting printed halter neck top with a
button down front and a pair of Daisy
Dukes short shorts, to enjoy some
downtime with her sons, Jayden, 5,
and Sean, 6, while shopping for cup-
cakes.
She completed the look with a pair
of cozy knitted cream boots, says my
mole with the martini.
It looked really quite bizarre. A long
way from her immaculate groomed
look on the TV show.
Clark Controversy
Before her death last year at the
age of 104, reclusive copper heiress
Huguette Clark showered her care-
takers and staffers with lavish gifts,
among them palatial mansions, world-
renowned artwork and rare violins.
But the lucky recipients of Clarks
multi-million dollar tokens of grati-
tude, particularly $31 million includ-
ing three Manhattan apartments, two
homes elsewhere and a $1.2 million
Stradivarius violin she gave to her
Filipino nurse, Hadassah Peri, may be
forced to give them back, according to
the court-appointed official oversee-
ing Clarks estate, who has accused
her former staff of manipulating their
elderly employer.
Public administrator Ethel Griffin
has asked a court to force Peri and
other aides to relinquish the presents
in an attempt to reclaim $37 million
for the $400 million estate.
It does not appear that anyone
in a position of power or authority
ever intervened to ensure that Mrs.
Clark possessed the requisite capac-
ity to make gifts and was acting of
her own free will, Deputy Public
Administrator Joy Thompson wrote
in last months filing.
Besides seeking an order for the
return of the gifts, the administra-
tor has asked a court to investigate
whether a New York hospital where
Clark lived, Beth Israel Medical Center,
should have to give back a $6 million
painting by French pre-Impression-
ist douard Manet and whether the
prominent Corcoran Gallery of Art
in Washington should have to return
$250,000.
Fox News reports a court will likely
have to reconstruct the intentions and
mental state of an elderly eccentric
woman and discern whether manipu-
lation or gratitude was driving her
staggering generosity, although the
administrator has said some gifts
were valid.
Clarks country estate in New
Canaan, Connecticut, is up for sale
for $17 million, while her $100 mil-
lion 23-acre ocean bluff property
Bellosguardo in Santa Barbara is being
maintained until a decision is reached
on the wills she made...
Bold Moves, Big Ideas
The Granada is going to be center
stage more than ever before for the
53rd season of UCSBs popular Arts &
Lectures series.
It is a wonderful theater and we
have staged more events there than
we have in our more than half-century
history, says Miller McCune execu-
tive director, Celesta Billeci.
The new season, dubbed Bold
Moves and Big Ideas, boasts an
impressive slate of 57 major events,
including 28 Santa Barbara debuts.
It launches on September 30 with a
concert by Grammy-winning pop leg-
end, Elvis Costello, and includes the
worlds foremost dance companies,
musicians and theatrical groups.
These include the Handel and
Haydn Society of Boston, the Aspen
Santa Fe Ballet, Shakespeares Globe
Theatres Hamlet, British comedi-
an Eddie Izzard, Star Trek captain
William Shatner and journalist Lisa
Ling, who I used to meet on occa-
sion when I appeared on ABCs The
View.
Its an extraordinary lineup by
any standard, Celesta told guests
at a launch bash on the rooftop of
the Canary Hotel. We consistent-
ly bring the worlds best to Santa
Barbara and the new season will be
no exception.
Echoes of Rainbows
Its no wonder members of the Santa
Barbara Museum of Art, including
director Larry Feinberg and his wife,
Starr Siegele, had a blooming good
time on a recent trip to Honolulu,
Hawaii.
The highlight of the five-day trip,
which included visits to a number of
private art collections, the 130-year-
old Iolani Palace and Shangri-La, the
sprawling estate built by eccentric
tobacco heiress, Doris Duke, was the
opening of the triennial flower show
Echoes of Rainbows presented by
the Garden Club of Honolulu, one of
Americas top horticultural events for
the past 80 years.
The flowers were at their freshest
and most colorful, says tour organiz-
er Lisa Hill. We packed a great many
visits in during the time we had.

travelers is a 16-day, seven city trip
to India in the New Year, which, of
course, will include the Taj Mahal...
Black Pearl Sings!
The Ensemble Theatre Company
has got a definite hit on its hands with
Black Pearl Sings!, its last production

The heartwarming play, loosely
based on the story of the legend-
ary singer Lead Belly, the early 20th
century gospel singer, and written
by Kansas-based playwright, Frank
Higgins who flew in for the open-
ing weekend , is set in 1930s Texas,
with particularly evocative lighting
by Victor En Yu Tan, as the show
opens in a prison farm wardens
office with the two principals, Jannie
Jones, an inmate serving a life sen-
tence, and Jessica Wortham, a govern-
ment employee studying the history
and musical treasures rooted in the
African-American gospel tradition for
the Library of Congress.
Both are superb in their roles, filled
with humor, sadness and wonder-
ful solo a capella renditions, under

which was owned by the McCaslin
family. The six-parcel property was
purchased for $7,600,000, funded by
donations from community members
and business organizations. The trans-
action has been complicated, as the
Land Trust, which planned to give
the property to the Forest Service for
maintenance, ran into issues when
the Forest Service refused to take over
the property because of ground water
rights issues. MWD owns ground
water and well rights on 40 acres of
the property. A 1995 title agreement
between the former property owners
and MWD has proven problematic
for the Forest Service, and is a major
impediment to the transfer of the land.
The Land Trust has been working
diligently with the Forest Service, the
Montecito Water District, Montecito
Creek Water Company, and property
owners near the property to address
title, water, road access and legal
issues that need to be worked out
before the property can be donated by

Forest, Feeney explains.
The new agreement will allow MWD
to extract groundwater from the prop-
erty, and will allow the District to
drill from an existing well and build a
replacement well if necessary. Per the
proposed agreement, MWD will only
be responsible for well maintenance
and infrastructure; other property
maintenance will be the responsibility
of the Forest Service. I think weve
got something in front of you which
is a win-win for all parties, Feeney
stated to the Board on Tuesday.
The Board, which has already spent
$11,500 on legal fees pertaining to
this issue, was hesitant to allow more
money to be spent on studying the
newly proposed agreement. We are
$1.5 million in the red, stated Director
Darlene Bierig. I cant in good faith
offer to fund more legal fees. Director
Jan Abel added, We have a financial
responsibility to our customers.
Land Trust Board President Warren
Miller told the Board he would be
willing to ask his Board for funds to
pay for MWDs legal fees. We are not
going to let this thing go down the
tubes for the sake of a few thousand
dollars and additional legal work,
he said, adding that the agreement
already had a clause for a $2,000 reim-
bursement for legal fees.
There are a lot of things that still
need to be resolved, said Director
Dick Shaikewitz. The Board voted
unanimously to move forward on
reviewing the document with its legal
council, to be funded by the Land
Trust.
Its another baby step to mov-
ing this thing forward, said Board
President Sam Frye.

Kims New Direction
With just two months until the first
anniversary of Kim Kardashians
overblown Montecito nuptials, it
seems the TV reality queen wants
to branch out and become a sitcom
star.
The ample-bottomed beauty is in
the early stages of developing her
own scripted half-hour comedy series,
Im reliably informed, in addition to
having just extended her familys
lucrative deal with E! Entertainment
for three more excruciating seasons of
their namesake hit, Keeping Up With
the Kardashians.
Kim wants to move beyond reality
TV and become a comedy actress,
says a friend. She really wants to be
the next Sofia Vergara.
However, she wants to do it on
her own and not involve her sisters,
Kourtney and Khloe.
The desire to move on comes after
a number of appearances away from
her family and E!, where I used to
host The Gossip Show for a number of
years.
She popped up on a recent live epi-
sode of NBCs 30 Rock, playing herself
in two scenes, along with Jon Hamm,
Paul McCartney and Jimmy Fallon in
cameo roles.
Basketball player Kris Humphries
ex also played herself on an episode
of Tim Allens ABC sitcom Last Man
Standing earlier this year
Shes also been signed up to play a
character in Tyler Perrys upcoming
movie The Marriage Counselor, oppo-
site Vanessa Williams and Jurnee
Smollett.
Reps for Kardashian arent com-
menting.
Stay tuned...
Battle of the Yachts Continues
The battle of the billionaires over
who has the worlds largest private
yacht appears to be heating up, with
Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich
about to lose the title.
A $700 million mega yacht, known
as Project Azzam, will measure a stag-
gering 590 feet larger than some
cruise ships when it is complete,
making it 54 feet longer than Eclipse,
the London-based billionaires current
flagship vessel, and 58 feet longer than
Dubai, owned by Sheikh Mohammed
bin Rashid.
The floating palace, which is being
constructed by German shipbuilder
Lurssen, has reportedly been com-
missioned by Prince Al-Waleed bin
Talal, 57, a member of the Saudi
royal family, worth around $18 bil-
lion.
The yachts fuel tank will hold a
whopping 264,172 gallons, while the
owner will have to pay a crew of 50 to
man it year-round.
The prince certainly has a taste for
luxury, owning a personal Boeing 747,
with an Airbus A380, the worlds larg-
est passenger aircraft, being delivered
to his personal specifications later this
year.
He also has a collection of 200 cars,
including Rolls Royces, Bentleys,
Lamborghinis and Ferraris.

Fab Fauxsome
It is difficult to believe it is nearly half
a century ago when I saw the Beatles
performing live in England, but, five
decades on, the Fab Foursomes music
is as popular as ever.
So it was not surprising to see
people of all ages, many in their
70s, gathering at the Granada for
Twist & Shout: The Definitive
Beatles Experience, with a faux
foursome playing through the ages,
the music cleverly interspersed with
news film footage from the vari-
ous decades in the U.S. and U.K.,
including the groups memorable
New York debut on the Ed Sullivan
show.
The performance, part of the the-
aters popular concert series, was
impressive, with the all American
members of the talented quartet, all
bewigged and dressed appropriately
from the early days of She Loves
You to the heady psychedelic period
of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club
Band, sounding just as good as the
originals.
No wonder the audience was danc-
ing in the aisles...

A Kiss is Still A Kiss
Time has gone by and Mom and Dad are
still sweet on each other after 60 years.
Last year they moved in with my family -
too many stairs in their home. We all
happily gave up our prime spots on the
sofa so they could cuddle nightly, watch
the news, and smooch goodnight.
Its a blessing to have them with us, but
for me, its also like adding two more kids
worth of work.
If you are caring for aging parents full or
part time, you deserve a break.
Go ahead and plan that summer get-away,
its important to reconnect with your spouse
and kids slow down, breathe. Peace of
mind is possible, just call egis Living.

T
he California Central Coast
Alzheimers Association is
launching a new program
in July for those who are taking
memory loss medications or who
have been diagnosed with early stage
dementia. The program is called,
Cultural Connections, and families
are invited to experience creative
environments through the guidance
of specially trained docents who will
share their knowledge and guide
the experience. The Santa Barbara
Museum of Art, Santa Barbara
Botanic Gardens and the Santa
Barbara Museum of Natural History
are the frst three venues to sign on
to participate. The Central Coast
Alzheimers Association is interested
in enhancing the program with
additional venues in the future, and
if you are involved in an organization
that would like to participate, please
contact them. A representative from
the Alzheimers Association said
that musical performances and stage
plays are venues that could add
another wonderful dimension to
the program. Cultural Connections
has been funded by the Coeta and
Donald Barker Foundation, that has
generously contributed $25,000, with
another $25,000 pledged for next year.
Engagement through the creative
arts can foster well-being and reig-
nite ones spirit. This does not end
with a diagnosis of dementia. In fact,
the minds detachment from ordinary
patterns of thinking may actually
enhance ones creative spirit. People
with dementia are capable of deeply
intuitive and inspiring interpretations
of their surroundings. While demen-
tia can limit verbal understanding
and communication, creative works
transcend language. When words fall
short, a work of art or music, or the
movement of a dance, can serve as
a vehicle of expression that is felt
and understood in the soul. Art and
creativity can provide an emotional
release when other means of self-
expression are lost or misunderstood.
For those with dementia, back
doors to communication can often
be opened with a non-traditional
approach, be it art, music, visual
stimulus, tactile sensation, humor,
or strong emotion. The creative arts
can activate pathways that release
thoughts and words previously held
captive by broken circuitry.
Dr. Bruce Miller, director of the
Memory and Aging Center at UCSF, is
one of the leading experts on demen-
tia and creativity. He gave the closing
keynote, Arts and Creativity of the
Brain, at the annual Alzheimers
Association conference on April 18
th
,
at the Montecito Country Club. Dr.
Miller is a behavioral neurologist
with a special interest in neuroim-
aging and cortical function. In his
dementia work, he has discovered
a remarkable subset of patients in
whom visual or musical creativity
emerges despite the progression of
language and social impairment.
These extraordinary patients offer a
window into the brain basis for cre-
ativity.
So often, when we speak of demen-
tia, the focus is on loss loss of nerve
cells, loss of memory and loss of cog-
nition. Dementia is undeniably dev-
astating, affecting millions around
the world and presenting research-
ers with a tangled and complicated
puzzle that we have yet to fully
understand. While the Alzheimers
Association continues to tirelessly
search for a cure for all types of
dementia, I applaud their efforts to
provide creative, social engagements
that can help improve the quality of
lives of people with dementia and
those who care for them. By focusing
on what a person is still able to do,
they embrace the very core experi-
ence of the person living with demen-
tia, while enhancing their well-being
and self-worth.
The Cultural Connections Program
offers a wonderful opportunity for
those taking memory loss medica-
tions, people diagnosed with early
stage dementia of any type, and their
caregivers. To register, or for addi-
tional information, please call Luciana
Cramer at (805) 892-4259 or email her

Computer and iPod Stolen from Vehicle
Tuesday, 12 June, 6:33 am Deputy Banks was dispatched to Hot Springs
Road on report of a theft from a vehicle. The reporting party stated he had
parked his truck in his carport at his residence; the following day he returned
to find a laptop and iPod had been stolen. The vehicle was left unlocked. A
report was taken.
Catalytic Converter Stolen
Tuesday, 12 June, 7:17 pm Deputy Tchobanoff was dispatched to a school on
La Paz Road on report of a stolen catalytic converter from a truck. The vic-
tim had parked his truck on campus that morning, and when he returned
that evening he started his truck to find the exhaust was very loud. He got
out of the truck and looked underneath; four bolts and a metal gasket were
found. The cost of the converter is valued at $300. A report was taken, and
one was filed with the school. MJ
VILLAGE BEAT (Continued from page 23)
unprecedented commercial real estate
activity in Montecitos upper and
lower villages. Considerable change
is taking place in Montecito, which is
not the norm for the typically quiet
upper and lower villages, where ten-
ants and business owners tend to stay
put, he tells us.
According to Coronado, Coast
Village Road is not traditionally
known to turn over property very
often. Its quaint yet eclectic charm
has rested largely on its myriad of
longstanding, exceptional local busi-
nesses that share space on the pristine
corridor, including restaurants, bou-
tiques and galleries, offices, hotels,
banks, and more, he says.
The flurry of activity in the area
may seem a little out of the ordinary
for the relatively quiet Montecito
community, and the high level of
excitement and anticipation among
local residents, commercial land own-
ers and business tenants is palpable,
adds Mike Chenoweth, a senior vice
president with Radius Commercial
Real Estate & Investments. Coast
Village Road merchants in particular
bank on foot traffic and the streets
appeal for both locals and tourists,
and a fresh infusion of new commer-
cial offerings can certainly translate
to more customers frequenting the
area, he said.
The lower villages Montecito
Country Mart, next to Vons, is pro-
gressing in its development plans.
It was recently announced that
Vons Pharmacy will relocate next to
Starbucks in the area immediately
south of the Country Mart, moving
into the space previously occupied
by Read N Post, which, in turn, will
relocate its store and post office to a
new space in the Country Mart.
At 1085 Coast Village Road, the
owners of the Chevron station have
received city approval to expand the
station to include a mini-mart and car-
wash. Next door at 1101 Coast Village
Road, the former Haywards building
sold to Santa Barbara investors. A pro-
spective tenant is currently reviewing
a lease, and others, including a restau-
rant, are showing interest in the space.
In the Mariposa Plaza at 1165 Coast
Village Road, a major national bank is
reviewing a lease for a vacant front-
age retail area, which was previously
1101 Coast Village Road was the longtime home of Haywards; it has been sold and various potential

Across the street, the recent sale of
Peabodys restaurant at the corner of
Middle and Coast Village Roads will
bring more change to the street. The
property will undergo a major facelift
with a covered patio.
Further east, the buyer of the for-
mer Turk Hessellund Nursery, which
sold just over a year ago, has received
the citys final approval to develop
the land into a multi-use building
that will house retail, office and resi-
dential condominium tenants. Leases
for two of the spaces are being negoti-
ated with owners of a restaurant and
soft goods store.
The upper village development of
the Montecito Pharmacy property by
Richard Gunner near San Ysidro and
East Valley Roads is nearing comple-
tion. The concept of this new devel-
opment of freestanding buildings has
received many positive comments
about how well it fits into the ambi-
ance of the area. In addition, a lead-
ing bank may be opening a branch in
this development.
All told, during the past twelve
months were looking at roughly
60,000 sq ft of transaction volume
totaling upwards of $20,000,000
in transaction dollars between the
upper and lower villages, with more
to come in the next year or two, said
Chenoweth.
This kind of commercial activity
is just not seen in Montecito given
the small size of the market and
how coveted space is in the area. Its
very exciting and encouraging from
an economic standpoint and from
a neighborhood community stand-
point, he added.

sank and was rediscovered.
Maritime Museum executive direc-
tor Greg Gorga reminded us, There
are free lectures with wine and
cheese for the members every third
Thursday, as he introduced Bob.
Bob began his talk by revisiting
World War II when the first attack
on the United States since 1812 hap-
pened at Ellwood, just north of Santa
Barbara. But that wasnt the only one.
The Montebello was torpedoed by a
Japanese sub in 1941 just south of
the Monterey Bay National Marine
Sanctuary. It now sits under 900 feet
of water.
Schwemmer is not only a museum
board member; he is also the West
Coast Regional Maritime Heritage
Coordinator for NOAA office of
National Marine Sanctuaries. He
was part of the science team that
rediscovered the wreck in 1996 in
the two-manned submersible Delta.
There was concern over the 3,000,000
gallons of crude oil that could still be
onboard. In 2011, the Coast Guard
awarded a contract to Global Diving
& Salvage to assess the ship. Bob was
there when the dive took place. The
mystery was solved; there was no oil
left. It must have slowly seeped out
over the 70 years.
The citizens of Cambria, Cayucos
and Morro Bay took heroic action to
launch a sea and land rescue for the
Montebellos crew of 38. The last living
crewmember when it sank, 93-year-old
Richard Quincy, spoke to us of his
memories of the event. My second
encounter with the Montebello (going
to visit the site) was a whole lot better
than my first. Richard and local resi-
dent Jim Higman, who was an engi-
neer when the Montebello was being
built, were presented with a collage of
photos from the Montebello rediscovery.
Next time youre at the harbor,
check out the Maritime Museum,
which is filled with nautical treasures
and active exhibits.
Cruising For CAMA
Members of the Community Arts
Music Association (CAMA) Legacy
Society were invited to a cocktail cruise
aboard the Channel Cat courtesy of
Charlie T. Munger, owner of the cata-
maran. It was a perfect evening in
paradise as 52 generous donors were
greeted on the dock by the chair of the
Society John Lundegard. Development
Officer Martha Donlan handed out
nametags and then we set sail.
As Keith Mautino (working group
and event committee member) told
me, The Legacy Society members,
through their estate plans, pledge a
gift of $10,000 or more, thus enabling
CAMA to bring the worlds finest
artists to Santa Barbara. The Legacy
Society is only four years old, but
CAMA was formed in 1919. Instead
of our annual spring luncheon at the
Coral Casino, we decided the cruise
would be a nice change.
The Whos Who of the classical
music world that has appeared here is
staggering: Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky,
Rubinstein, Cliburn, and Bernstein,
to name a few. Their fees have nearly
quadrupled in the last twenty years
and the gap between the ticket prices
ever widens so the Legacy Society has
become a necessity.

natalies new Chapter
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.
J
ust about the time Natalie
D-Napoleon was set to put out
her debut domestic solo CD,
the Australian transplant singer-
songwriter got pregnant and ended
up birthing a baby boy instead. Now,
more than two years after Leaving Me
Dry frst saw the light of day Down
Under, the CD featuring eight of her
solo compositions and three co-writes
with former partner G. S. Ferstat is
being offcially released here in Santa
Barbara, culminating in a concert at
SOhO on Sunday night.
D-Napoleon will be joined by key-
boardist Dan Phillips, guitarist-vocal-
ist David Cowans, peddle steel player
Bill Flores, with singer-guitarist Jesse
Rhodes and violinist-vocalist Sally
Barr sitting in. She talked about her
career and the new album late last
week.
Q. Tell us a little bit about your career
in Australia before you moved to Santa
Barbara.
A. I started out in an indie rock band
called Blue, which played sweet little
tunes. I was playing an electric guitar.
We won most promising new act in
my state in Australia. Then I met a guy
who played in A Month of Sundays;
we started dating and eventually cre-
ated Flavour of the Month together.
That was a real different direction for
me, more acoustic music, new folk,
new country like Gillian Welch; a new
take on things that were popular in the
1970s. We did some amazing shows and
supported such acts as Morphine, and
Steve Kilby from the Church, but at that
time Australia wasnt ready for the kind
of music we were doing. It was about
ten or fifteen years ahead of its time.
Now, its popular there Meanwhile,
the relationship fell apart, too.
What brought you to the U.S.?
Brett [Leigh Dicks, a Santa Barbara-
based freelance entertainment jour-
nalist and photographer who is now
married to D-Napoleon] and I were
friends in Australia ever since he
reviewed the FOTM EP and refer-
enced everything we liked. He was
one of the few Australian journalists
who knew where we were coming
from. I emailed him after reading his
review and we became friends. We
kept in contact over the years. When I
split with my ex, I wanted to come to
the U.S. on vacation, and we went on
a road trip through the American West
in this cool, old Mustang. That eventu-
ally led to living in Santa Barbara.
What was the genesis of the songs in
Leaving Me Dry?
I had a bunch of songs that hadnt
made it onto other recordings for vari-
ous reasons. I wrote a bunch of new
ones here in Santa Barbara. The new-
est was The Road, a spiritual jour-
ney to find out where you fit in life,
where you belong. That pulled the
whole album together. Once I finished
it, I knew I had everything I wanted
to make the record. And I always
wanted Leaving Me Dry to be the title
because it seemed to encompass what
the album is about.
Your CD was one of Kenny Edwards
last projects before he passed away two
summers ago.
Yeah. I knew he wasnt well, but he
didnt specify what was wrong. He
was such a private person. And when
it came to music he gave everything he
had. We had so many magic moments
on the album that were thanks to him.
It was really painful when he died.
There was a time when I couldnt listen
to the album without crying hearing all
the beautiful stuff that he played.
You made the album in 2009 and
released it in Australia, but never got
around to putting it out officially here.
What happened?
Well, we shopped it around to
record companies, and were getting a
bit of interest. Then we did the release
in Australia. When I came back here I
got pregnant with Samuel. I was really
sick for four months and unable to do
much at all. By the time that passed,
I was in full nesting mode. And once
I had him I realized that all these
fantasies about going on tour with a
Australian Natalie D-Napoleons newest album,
Leaving Me Dry, is finally being released after
being written in 2009; D-Napoleon will perform at
SOhO on Sunday, June 24

Summer Solstice
Santa Barbaras signature
early summer event
recently expanded to
a full three-day festival,
including music and more
in Alameda Park on both
Friday night and Sunday
as well as Saturday
afternoon. But the main
attraction, as it has been
for nearly two generations,
is the annual Solstice
Parade, a marvel of
fantasy and whimsy unlike
any other marching madness youll see around these parts. The rules are simple: no
motors, no animals and no signs (commercial or otherwise not even to identify the
group), but there are no limits on the imagination of the participants who come up
with all sorts of creative ways to celebrate the longest day of the year. More than a
thousand people are usually part of the parade, which boasts extravagant people-
powered foats (including infatables, huge paper-mache creations, architectural
wonders and more), incredibly colorful and often wildly whimsical costumes, life-
size puppets, and lots of dancing and music groups, from bikini-clad hula-hoopers
to swing dancers, drum ensembles and much more. And its not too late to join in:
the foats, costumes and masks are made by community members at the Solstice
Workshop and all are invited to participate. A staff of artisans, technicians, costumers
and mask-makers can aid in the design and execution of your ideas, help you come
up with a concept, or introduce you to ongoing ensembles that could use an extra
hand. This years all-encompassing theme is Fantasy. WHEN: Parade begins at
12noon on Saturday; workshop open daily until the parade WHERE: Workshop at
515 Garden Street (Parade begins at State & Cota Streets) COST: Viewing is free;

we know you just completed three
days of boogieing to the beat under
a canopy of trees at last weekends
Live Oak Music Festival, but now you
can keep the magic going, at a much
smaller and more intimate venue that

wooded canyon a few miles west of Lake Casitas. The site boasts a gently sloped
grass amphitheater canopied with oaks, maple, dogwood, mulberry, pine and palm
trees, and a full stage complete with professional sound and lighting. As befts the
venue, theres a very homey feel to the place, which is partly due to festival-style
seating where guests bring their own low back deckchairs, blankets and pillows, not
to mention the pre-concert potluck set up in a screened-in patio that should satisfy any
curious palettes. The headliner for the season-opening event tonight is Blame Sally, a
Bay Area all-female (save for the bassist) collective featuring four distinct voices that
blend and harmonize in a style thats been described as creamy, and well-picked
and played country/folk-rock tunes on such instruments as acoustic and lap steel
guitar, piano, banjo, accordion and percussion. Opening is the terrifc Ojai-based
singer-songwriter Cindy Kalmenson with her band the Lucky Ducks. WHEN:

French twist After an unexpected
hiatus last year, the Santa Barbara

this summer. But theres no reason to
wait until mid-July to enjoy music from

Caplet, Delibes, Debussy, Berlioz,
Dvorak, Saint-Saens, Ferroud and
Ravel. Reed, who recently debuted
with Opera Santa Barbara as one of
their chorus members in La Traviata and Orphe et Euridice last season, is a professional
singer who studied at CSU Long Beach, Mannes School of Music, and LEcole Normale
de Musique de Paris, and performed operatic roles throughout France, Italy, Switzerland
and the United States. She will be accompanied by futist Suzanne Duffy and pianist
Rene Hamaty, who was the Music Director and pianist for Opera & Broadway

chorus performance of French favorites and those wishing to sing in French are
welcome; French song sheets will be provided. The event also features French

six month old baby werent going to
happen. So now hes eighteen months
old, and we have a little time to spend
promoting it here and the moving on
to writing new songs.
So is this the start of a new push for
your career?
Yeah, definitely. Now that hes older
and I have some more headspace,
and the time to be creative and think
about music again. Im going to be
mostly working on writing. As far as
playing live, well see what happens.
It seems like music and art can be a
lottery. If youre lucky enough to have
the right person stumble across your
music, good things can happen. At
least thats what I hope for.

Joss Jaffes
Dub Mantra
Former Santa Barbara musician
Joss Jaffe plays a blend of spiritual
Sanskrit mantras and reggae rhythms
that he calls Dub Mantra, which is
also the title of his new CD that will
be celebrated in a performance at Yoga
Soup on Friday. Jaffe has been perfect-
ing the reggae-Sanskrit nexus ever
since high school and his love for both
forms of music date back even earlier.
My parents were very interested
in Eastern spirituality, meditation and
chanting, so they introduced me to
Indian music, Jaffe recalled over the
phone the other day. And then I
met Montino [Bourbon, the master
musician from Montecito who stud-
ied for decades with the legendary
Hindustani classical musician Ali
Akbar Khan]. I spent so much time
with him, he more or less became
my godparent. The reggae part came
from living in a beach town, and
being a surfer, hearing that music at
the beach. Those two are always the
soundtrack in my head. Somehow
they just merged.
Reggae and Eastern music might
seem like disparate genres, but Jaffee
finds commonality in their spiritual-
ity. Indian music and reggae not only
gave me energy and propulsion but
were always very soothing, he said.
I need something to calm me down at
the end of the day and they both have a
very meditative quality. Theyve always
helped me with any challenges I faced.
Even though recording on the CD
only began in 2010, Jaffe has been
working on Dub Mantra for 15 years.
Ive had a vision for this album for
a long time. But it took a long time and
a lot of help from some serious profes-
sionals musicians and engineers to
move it from backroom dream to an
actual recording. Im so grateful.
Along the way, Jaffes own profes-
sional musical career which had
included stints with well-known
Kirtan leaders Jai Uttal and Dave
Stringer was one of the casualties.
He now has a full-time job in Oakland
designing solar photovoltaic systems.
But music is still my passion, he
said.
Fellow enthusiasts-musical col-
leagues Aaron McLendon (drums &
percussion), Eje Lynn-Jacobs (bass &
vocals) and Zoe Reheem (vocals) will
support Jaffe for the CD-release show,
which takes place at the most appro-
priate venue of Yoga Soup.
Its the perfect place for my music,
Jaffe said. And I just love playing
back home in Santa Barbara.
More Montecito Music
The Beatles wanted to know Will
you still love me when Im 64? Kenny
Loggins isnt taking any chances.
The superstar singer-songwriter who
passed that chronological milestone in
January, has put his 30-year solo career
that produced nearly a dozen Top 10
hits on hiatus to form a new band for
the first time in his career. Loggins,
who lived for years in Montecito and
now calls Hope Ranch home, is now
one-third of Blue Sky Riders, having
joined up with Nashville singer-song-
writers Gary Burr a soon-to-be 60
songwriter who has a well-earned rep-
utation as one of country musics song
doctors and Georgia Middleman,
who is also Burrs fianc. For what its
worth, Loggins told a reporter recently
that he thought his vocal pairing with
Burr was as tight as brothers, adding,
The last time I experienced that kind
of blend was with Jimmy Messina in
1971. Were guessing youll still hear
some of the Loggins hits at Thursdays
concert at Chumash Casino, but be
prepared for a healthy dose of new,
country-flavored songs from the one-
time purveyor of Footloose and Im
All Right. MJ
Santa Barbara native Joss Jaffe will release his
album, Dub Mantra, at Yoga Soup on Friday,
June 22
