Montecitos Water Alternative
W
hen Samuel Coleridge penned his poem, Rime of the Ancient Mariner
in 1797, with its famous line, Water, water every where, Nor any
drop to drink, it is possible he was talking about Montecito and
Santa Barbara with its torment of thirst during periods of severe drought. We
live in a desert that is (to borrow a line from our own Richard Mineards) just a
tiaras toss away from the worlds largest body of water.
The Pacific Ocean stretches over 63.8 million square miles, larger than all the
worlds land masses combined. It is an inexhaustible, drought-proof reservoir sit-
ting in the South Central Coasts front yard. Ninety-seven percent of all the water
on Earth lies in our salty oceans; 2% is frozen in glaciers and ice caps; less than
1% of the rest is potable drinking water. The problem is not a scarcity of water,
but rather the same problem that a Margarita bartender has: salt or no salt.
Desalination is currently plagued by at least three problems: 1) Seawater
desalination plants are capital intensive to build and costly to maintain; 2)
Desalination requires large amounts of power to force seawater through mem-
branes to remove salt and other impurities; and 3) California environmentalists
have a history of lawsuits, endless Environmental Impact Reports (EIR) and
opposition to permits, claiming that desalination destroys the Pacific ecosystem.
Santa Barbara Desalination Plant
In 1992, the City of Santa Barbara, in partnership with Montecito Water
District, Goleta Water District and the private contractor, Ionics, Inc., had the
foresight to build a $34-million reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant at 525
East Yanonali Street, capable of producing 7,500 acre feet (AF) of water per year.
Due to abundant rainfall in 1991-93 and the lower cost of water from other
available sources, the Santa Barbara desalination plant was placed on a standby
mode after a 4-month operating test. Over the next five years, the three water
districts paid off the construction costs. Remarkably, given the communitys
environmental sensitivity, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified
in May 1994; city permitting was approved in December 1995; and California
Coastal Commission approval came in October 1996.
In 1997, Montecito and Goleta opted out of the project, and just over half of
the pre-filtration capacity and reverse osmosis treatment modules were sold.
City maintenance costs were reduced from $600,000 to $100,000 a year while
capacity was cut to 3,125 AF. Currently, desalination is viewed by the City of
Santa Barbara Water Resources as an emergency drought supply backup, rather
than a planned source of water. The good news is that the site exists, permits are
in place and basic plant design, engineering and construction costs have been
expended, lowering future costs.
An estimated expenditure of $17 to $20 million would be needed for a
16-month-to-2-year reactivation of the Charles Meyer Desalination facility in
Santa Barbara, during which time new state-of-the-art membranes and other
components could be installed. The cost of water would be competitive with
current State Water Project (SWP) costs of $1,680 per AF (Fixed costs of $1,482
per AF, plus treatment costs of $199 per AF).
Carlsbad Desalination Project
A desalination plant in Carlsbad, 35 miles north of San Diego, is being built
to supply San Diego County with some 56,000 AF of water per year (50 mil-
lion gallons per day). When fully operational in 2016, it will become the largest
seawater desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere. Poseidon Resources
LP, a privately-held company based in Stamford, Connecticut, began talks with
water agencies in San Diego County in 1998. The $954 million cost is being
financed with $781 million in tax exempt construction bonds, with the balance
coming from private investors who anticipate a return of 12-13%. The project
is creating 2,300 jobs during construction by Kiewit Infrastructure West and J.
F. Shea Construction, and will support 575 jobs in ongoing operations, accord-
ing to the Carlsbad operator, IDE Technologies, which has designed, built and
currently operates some of the worlds largest desalination and water treatment
facilities.
San Diego County water agencies negotiated water purchase arrangements
to buy 48,000 AF a year, or some 7% of their potable water needs, at an expen-
sive price of $2,000 per AF, as a backup supply and insurance against drought.
Poseidon bears the burden of financing, construction and operating the plant;
the Water Authority does not pay for any water that is not delivered, a distinct
advantage over the open-ended capital cost exposure from cost overruns on the

Montecito Madness
Monte ito
Miscellany
by Richard Mineards
Richard covered the Royal Family for Britains Daily Mirror and Daily Mail before moving to New York
to write for Rupert Murdochs newly launched Star magazine in 1978; Richard later wrote for New York
magazines Intelligencer. He continues to make regular appearances on CBS, ABC, and CNN, and
moved to Montecito six years ago.
MISCELLAnY Page 184
P
rolific author Robert Eringer
has just come out with his latest
novel, Montecito Madness.
Robert, 58, who is in a long-running
legal battle royal with Prince Albert of
Monaco over monies owed as the jet set
principalitys spymaster, says his new-
est book is a wicked, funny look at the
underside of our rarefied enclave.
I wanted to immortalize the spirit of
barflies in the area. Its a colorful, dare I
say, fluid account!
To protect the identities of the eclectic
cast of characters, Robert has used nick-
names and pseudonyms.
Ive disguised them a little, but every-
one in the book does exist.
Hanging out at the old Piatti in
the Upper Village, I cultivated a living
soap opera of characters and chronicled
their anecdotal vignettes in my Surreal
Bounce blog under the moniker Piatti
Crockpot. This evolved into a pictorial
essay of Piattis last month, celebrating
and lamenting the demise of what had
become a real-life Cheers.
Unfortunately, things devolved after
that... particularly with the histrionics of
an elderly member of the old Piatti Gang.
With this tragic turn, I now had the
beginning, middle and an end a frame-
work in which to house the vignettes Id
already penned. The result is a breezy read
with zest, brio and much comedy.
The cover painting, by local artist
Thomas Van Stein, captures the bar of
the Montecito Inn, to which many of us
defected. It is full of symbolism from the
book, starting with Van Stein and myself
perched at a table in the bar.
Now, as I recently reported in this
illustrious organ, Robert has bought a
bar of his own, which he has renamed
BoHenrys.
Fuel for another novel in due course,
no doubt...
Connors Confessions
Montecito tennis legend Jimmy
Connors has launched his autobiography
with a real zinger.
Jimmy, who won five U.S. Open titles,
strongly hints in his memoir that he and
on-court love Chris Evert called off their
wedding after she got pregnant and had
an abortion.
The tony twosome captured Americas
hearts when they dated in the 70s, partic-
ularly after they both won the Wimbledon
singles championships in 1974.
It was the same year the then-22 and 19
year old were due to tie the knot.
But the 60-year-old former ace writes
in The Outsider about a situation that
occurred just weeks before their planned
nuptials.
An issue had arisen as a result of youth-
ful passion, and a decision had to be made
as a couple. Chrissie called to say she was
coming out to L.A. to take care of the
issue. I was perfectly happy to let nature
take its course and accept responsibility
for what was to come.
Evert was just 19 at the time and,
though she was raised as a Catholic,
Jimmy claims it was her idea.
Chrissie, however, had already made
up her mind that the timing was bad and
too much was riding on the future. She
asked me to handle the details.
He writes that his response was: Well,
thanks for letting me know. Since I dont
have any say in the matter, then I guess I
am just here to help.
In his mind, the relationship was over at
this point and he realized he was not ready
to get hitched.
It was a horrible feeling, but I knew it
was over. Getting married wasnt going to
be good for either of us.
When he told Evert they were too

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Crater Trekkers
A
s readers of the Montecito
Journal know, several people
in our town are supporting
efforts to build the Sentinel space tele-
scope, which will detect dangerous
Near-Earth Asteroids before they hit
Earth. If they are found in time they
can likely be deflected potentially sav-
ing enormous numbers of lives and
extensive property damage.
The risk of asteroids hitting the
earth may seem rather academic until
you meet one face-to-face. With this
in mind, Ed Lu, former NASA astro-
naut and CEO of the Sentinel project,
organized a visit to the famous Meteor
Crater near Flagstaff, Arizona.
People flew in from all over the
Western states. No less than three
private airplanes went from Santa
Barbara, piloted by John Goerke,
George Powell, Edwin Sahakian &
John Friedman, fifteen people in all.
Because the Crater is young in geo-
logical terms 50,000 years old and
in arid desert, it has suffered little ero-
sion by rain and is the best preserved
of its kind in the world. The public is
only allowed to walk around the rim
but Ed made special arrangements
to hike to the bottom. This certainly
made everyone realize its enormous
size, not necessarily apparent from
pictures or even from standing on
the rim. It is both spectacular, and for
those with even the least imagination,
unsettling. This rent in the Earth is
4,000 feet across and almost 600 feet
deep. Yet the rock that tore it out in
just a few seconds was a mere 150 feet
across! And of course, when it struck,
every living thing for miles around
would have been instantly destroyed
by the heat, shockwaves and hun-
dreds of millions of tons of flying
rocks and debris.
For anyone who might have doubt-
ed the potential risk from asteroids,
hiking to the bottom made the danger
of an impact dramatically apparent.
Charles Lindbergh, describing
his love of flying with the words
Science, freedom, beauty, adventure:
what more could you ask of life? He
would have certainly felt it about this
extraordinary day. Sentinel is science.
Private airplanes gave the freedom,
with an early start, to make the jour-
ney in a day. Beauty on all sides, even
the stark desert is beautiful. And a
splash of adventure.
Julian Nott
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: There are too many
names to mention, but we believe there is
a small contingent from Montecito among
them. As well there should be, as it is a
Montecito family that once owned the
entire crater! J.B.)
It Was Dru Erin!
In our haste to credit the photo-
graphs from the Janet Adderley Santa
Barbara Youth Ensemble Theatre pro-
duction of Gypsy at the Lobero last
weekend we messed up the name of
the photographer both on our cover
and inside. The correct name of the
photographer is Dru Erin. Many apol-
ogies to her for getting it wrong the
first time. J.B.
Safety First!
My hands are still shaking as I try
to put into words the horrifying expe-
rience of riding in one of our local
transit district vehicles.
Its been twenty years since I last
rode a municipal bus, and it seems
that technology and safety have been
forgotten by transportation planners
(aka experts).
Boarding from Milpas at the bus stop
in front of McDonalds, I was return-
ing to Montecito via ol #14 when
reality began to set in. I was shocked
at the lack of seat belts, personal head
protection, air bags, no-cough zones
(many passengers appeared to have
infectious diseases), unfiltered venti-
lation (despite Santa Barbaras history
of severe allergens), and insufficient
written warning messages regard-
ing the stress of public transporta-
tion. In fact, I almost missed my stop
because I was so distracted reading
the many advertisements inside the
bus.
Why havent my tax dollars been
spent to provide some essential safety
features? (If only one life could be
saved, wouldnt it be worth it?)
As the bus traveled south towards
the ocean, I noticed there were no life-
preservers on board, despite the many
Tsunami Evacuation Zone signs
posted along the way. Doesnt anyone
in government care that a bus struck
by a large wave could be a death trap?
I tried to distract myself by think-
ing of safer methods of transportation
(air-sea-train) and realized that the bus
driver failed to provide each traveler
those detailed exit instructions in
the event of a head-on collision, blown
tire, broken axle or deadly bus-jack-
ing. Does the public know that those
little face masks that drop from the
overhead compartment are not found
on our local busses? OMG! The oxy-
gen supply and crawl-route lighting
found on aircraft has been omitted just
because it costs too much
Even more frightening was the
discovery that there was no AED
(Automatic External Defibrillator),
suture kit or emergency food supply
on the this giant yellow behemoth.
What happens when the elderly (or
children) get stuck in a dreaded FTG
(Fiesta Traffic Jam) with nothing to eat
for hours?
As the bus careened along Coast
Village Road, terrified passengers
were clinging for dear life, bumping
and sliding into each other, I won-
dered how anyone in a position of
authority could sleep at night know-
ing public transportation safety was
in such a mess.
At minimal expense (amortized
over 20 years), simple things like pro-
tective cotton face masks, a complete
legal-safety briefing, seat belts, self-
sanitizing seat cushions and tranquil-
izers could be provided to each pas-
senger willing to risk a trip across

town. The cost of bus travel may
increase slightly, but if only one person
(me) feels safer, isnt it worth it?
Lets get serious about saving lives.
Its time to protect everyone from
everything at any cost.
Next topic: helmets for joggers.
Dale Lowdermilk,
Montecito
(Editors note: We are with you on this
Dale, if it just saves one person the unimag-
inably debilitating effects of PTPTNS
(Post Traumatic Public Transportation
Nervousness Syndrome) we are confident
that caring legislators like Das Williams
or Hannah Beth Jackson will surely do
whats right and introduce just such a bill
to protect us all. J.B.)
As Rome Went
The legislators, in their perennial
and wearisome debates concerning
what to do about immigration reform,
might be wise to reflect upon a poten-
tial cultural danger:
The Roman emperor Caracalla
issued an edict in 212, granting citi-
zenship to all Roman subjects. This
brought about the gradual collapse
of the empire and the fragmentation
of both the empire and the Latin lan-
guage.
Europe was still not fully recov-
ered from the collapse of Rome, even
though the total collapse occurred in
476.
Robert T. Bradley
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: The only problem we see
with your observation is that by grant-
ing citizenship to all Roman subjects,
Caracalla gave another 250 years to the
Roman Empire. The U.S. hasnt even been
around that long, so you are effectively
doubling its life span. Thats hardly some-
thing to worry about. J.B.)
Out With Grass Lawns
We do so appreciate Bob Hazards
excellent and thorough Montecito
Water (MJ # 19/18) editorial.
We are taught that problems usu-
ally have solutions. One idea for the
Montecito water situation is to offer a
terrific prize for properties that do not
have grass lawns. An organization to
accomplish this can be created.
Front yard areas instead could have
beautiful cactus, rocks, brass, copper,
iron, tree bark, bricks, etc. All could be
of any color, texture, or shape.
Ones imagination can take the high
road with creativity unbound and
unlimited.
G. Hebert
Montecito
(Editors note: Good thinking, but one
way to radically reduce the amount of
water a lawn requires is to plant trees in
the middle, which I believe would be more
appropriate in Montecito than cactus or
metal enhancements J.B.)
Conserving Water
I read a letter to the editor from
Rob Lane (Prepping for the Next
Drought, MJ # 19/14) and your
response. For your information, MWD
has a strong and aggressive approach
to outdoor water conservation. Mike
Clark, MWDs water conservation
specialists will visit a property follow-
ing a request from a property owner-
resident. We have had a high level
of success in cutting the landscape
overwatering problem. Not only do
residents conserve water, but they
also see their monthly bills drop by an
appreciable amount.
2012 Water Conservation Report:
The Districts Conservation
Specialist, Mike Clark, performed a
total of 75 landscape audits. The land-
scape audits conducted were all for
single-family residential customers.
Of the 75 audits, 49 showing the
most improvement in water con-
servation, were tracked throughout
the year. In addition to tracking the
49 accounts in 2012, several of the
accounts audited in 2011 continued
to be reviewed monthly. The monthly
tracking of an accounts water usage
provides valuable information on the
combined efforts of the District and
property owner to control water usage
and provides a quantitative measure
of water conservation. The estimat-
ed total water savings on the 2012
tracked accounts is shown below:
Total savings in hcf: 14,133
Total savings in af: 32.45
For comparison, total savings for
2011 were 13,325 hcf (30.5 acre feet).
In review of the 75 conducted
audits, the majority of high water
usage problems were due to outside
irrigation overwatering and improp-
erly set irrigation controllers. Other
lesser water loss problems were for
service line breaks and in-house fix-
ture leaks (running toilets and other
fixture problems).
Typically, the District found that
the controller water index was set too
high. The controller watering index,
based on weather conditions, estab-
lishes a percentage for the irrigation
controller, with 100% representing
a dry summer season. District staff
would review the operation of the
irrigation controller with the prop-
erty owner and provide instructions
on how to properly set the watering
index. The property owner was also
instructed to look up the weekly
watering index published online by
sbwater.org. Changing of the control-
ler water index on a weekly basis
provides for the most efficient water
use and saving for landscaping.
In addition to irrigation controller
instruction, the property owner was
instructed on leak detection using the

Tenth Anniversary
Celebration
Village Beat
by Kelly Mahan

W
ednesday, May 22, the
Montecito Planning
Commission (MPC) and
Montecito Board of Architectural
Review (MBAR) will be honored at
a brief reception during the regu-
larly scheduled MPC hearing. A time
certain event, the small 11:30 am cer-
emony will acknowledge the tenth
anniversary of both entities, which
formed in 2003.
MPC and MBAR were formed
10 years after an attempt to annex
Montecito as its own city. At that time,
Montecito land use issues were heard
by the Santa Barbara County Planning
Commission, and many Montecito
residents felt our community would
be better served with a separate plan-
ning commission and architectural
review board solely for Montecito.
Bob Meghreblian and other instru-
mental Montecito residents formed a
group to look into the idea, and after
consulting with then First District
Supervisor Naomi Schwartz and her
staff, the Board of Supervisors granted
approval for a Montecito Planning
Commission and Montecito Board of
Architectural Review for a two-year
trial period.
Since then MPC and MBAR have
helped shape the village feel of
Montecito, ensuring projects and
builders adhere to the Montecito
Community Plan. The establish-
ment of MPC/MBAR ensures that
Montecito projects are looked at by
two groups of Montecito-minded peo-
ple, who understand and implement
the Community Plan.
First District Supervisor Salud
Carbajal will provide welcom-
ing remarks, and both current and
past MPC and MBAR participants
will be recognized for their public
service. A brief history of the groups,
which held the first meetings in March
2003, will be included as part of the
MPC agenda presentation.
A light refreshment reception will
be held on the Planning Commission
patio following the close of the MPC
meeting. For more information con-
tact JAmy Brown at j.amy.brown@

of eye candy shoe guys dressed in

Auctioneer Clint Bell took over,

Springtime
In The Mediterranean
Guests of Domestic Violence
Solutions (DVS) were on top of the
world at least on top of Hope Ranch
with 360-degree views from the
terrace of Marisa and Rene Kokes
new home. No one fell in the pool as
we sipped French wine and tried out
a variety of stations, from mac and
cheese to seafood sliders. Co-chairs
Suzy Cawthon and Laurie Tilson and
the DVS committee gave the Kokes
a beautiful painting of their home in
appreciation.
Executive Director Bonnie
Campbell welcomed all and told a
story of a call that came in at 3 am
from a mom with a baby and two
other children in distress. They were
picked up immediately and taken to
a safe shelter. The mom went through
counseling and classes on handling
money, got a job and now the family
lives in 18-month transitional housing
that DVS owns, independent and safe
from violence. The daughter recently
asked her mom, How do you spell
love? She wanted to tell their coun-
selor, I love you. As Bonnie said
to the audience, Thats why you are
here. Betty Stephens, Lindsay Fisher
and Kum Su Kim were premier spon-
sors followed by almost 50 others.
Leesa Wilson-Goldmuntz with all
her energy and enthusiasm led the live
auction and paddle raise. She gave the
first DVS event at her home 13 years
ago. Other committee members were
Pam Bigelow, Patty Bryant, Lauren
Katz, Marsha Marcoe, Cherilyn Milt,
Jill Nida, Diane Pannkuk, Ann Marie
Powers, Pam Powers, Susannah
Rake, Christina Songer, Caroline
Thompson and Suze Gray Williams.
DVS also has trained advocates to
respond to 911 calls with law enforce-
ment and educates teens to recognize
and avoid violence in their relation-
ships. For more information, call 963-

Changing Lives
Together
Changing Lives Together says
what the Womens Fund of Santa
Barbara is all about helping non-
profits. As outgoing chair Stina Hans
told the 300 members and friends
at Fess Parkers DoubleTree Resort
luncheon, This is our ninth annual
event. We began with 68 members
and now have 600 and since 2004 we
have donated a total of $4,125,000 to
55 nonprofits.
Stina quoted Mahatma Gandhi,
You must be the change you wish
to see in the world. Womens Fund
is proud that 98% of the funds col-
lected goes to non-profits. The Santa
Barbara Foundation is their fiscal
partner reducing their overhead.
Women join as individual members
for $2,500 or more, or as part of a
group totaling $2,500 or more. They
research local non-profits (30 or so)
addressing selected issues. After a
thorough vetting, several are asked
to apply and then the members vote
on how to distribute the collected
funds.
Research co-chair Sallie Couglin
presented this years winners who
were Catholic Charities of Santa
Barbara, Doctors Without Walls-
Santa Barbara Street Medicine,
Future Leaders of America, Girls
Inc. of Carpinteria, Isla Vista Youth
Projects, Westside Boys and Girls

Co-chairs Melissa Gough and Sarah
Stokes were grateful to Kathryn Calise
for underwriting the luncheon and
printed materials. Betty Elings Wells
was introduced for donating over
$500,000 over the years to the Fund
with matching grants. Santa Barbara

B-24 Disasters
The invitation intrigued by saying,
In one of the most inexplicable and
practically unknown home front trag-
edies of World War II, three separate
but eerily linked events left sixteen
people dead along the California
coast.
Local author Robert Burtness was at
the Santa Barbara Historical Museum
(SBHM) to lecture about his new book,
The Santa Barbara B-24 Disasters, and
sign them. Executive director Douglas
Diller introduced Bob and thanked
Marlene and Warren Miller for spon-
soring the event.
In brief Bob told us, On July 4, 1943
a B-24 Liberator on maneuvers over
the Pacific ran low on fuel. The U.S.
Army Air Corps crew parachuted out,
two into the ocean, the rest on land,
and the unmanned heavy bomber
crashed near Santa Barbara.
A second B-24 assigned to the
search-and-rescue mission over the
ocean, literally vanished. The planes
remains and those of its twelve air-
men were found eight months later
on San Miguel Island. In 1954, the
Coast Guard cutter carrying Air Force
investigators to wrap up details of the
San Miguel disaster rammed a yacht,
killing two others.
Bob served in the United States Air
Force for five years and after earning
an MA in English he taught in our
secondary school system for 30 years
until retirement. He and his wife,
Lynn, live here where he volunteers
for various organizations.
All the Burtness boys (that would
be two, Bill and George) were there
to help their brother Bob (that makes
three) celebrate his publication with
wine and canaps. You might like to
check out the museums latest exhibit,
De la Tierra: Art of the Adobe. It
will be around until October 7 at 136

recounts her reply was: OK if thats what
you think. Ive got a match tomorrow.
Not a problem.
And that was it.
He says he loved Evert, but he knew
both their ambitions would ultimately
get in the way of them having a future
together.
It kept going back to the same old
question, he writes. Can two number
ones exist in the same family?
As well as their relationship and his
tennis career Jimmy writes about his
struggles with dyslexia, the infidelity that
almost ended his marriage to current wife,
Patti, and a gambling addiction, as well
as his on-court battles with some of the

Woodstock for Capitalists
It has been described as part rock
concert, part investment workshop. The
annual gathering of Berkshire Hathaway
shareholders in Omaha, Nebraska, is an
odd mix.
And this year, I note, Montecitos Kathy
Ireland was among the 30,000 faith-
ful who joined Berkshire CEO Warren
Buffett at the weekend event.
Kathy, who used to be a fixture in the
Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue for 13
consecutive years with her last appear-
ance coming in 1996, now heads her
own global design conglomerate, Kathy
Ireland Worldwide, estimated to be worth
more than $2 billion.
She has also written six books, includ-
ing three for children, and has an exten-
sive portfolio of real estate in California
and Hawaii.
Buffetts annual meeting began humbly
in 1982 with a crowd of 15 in an insur-
ance company cafeteria, but it has been
growing steadily just as the companys
stock price rose to become the most
expensive in America, reaching $162,904
for a Class A share last week.
Now the meeting regularly fills the
citys 18,300-seat arena and every nearby
overflow room.
Buffett, 82, likes to call it Woodstock
for Capitalists.
With entrepreneurial Kathy in the mix,
he was clearly in good company...
Dream Come True
Bonnie Buckner is, by her own confes-
sion, a dreamer.
So it is no wonder Bonnie, who stud-
ied at Santa Barbaras Fielding Graduate
University, has titled her first book Dream
Your Self Into Being.
I teach business and creative profes-
sionals how to unlock their imagina-
tions and unfold their greater selves,
she explained at a bijou launch bash at
Tecolote, the bibliophile bastion in the
Upper Village.
This took me about seven months to
put together.
It teaches readers how to understand
dreams and the messages of their dreams.
Dreaming puts you in the drivers seat of
you.
Bonnie is now, as she describes it, put-
ting the pieces together for her second
tome.
Its currently gestating, she laughs...

Opera Santa Barbaras 20th anniversary

ter, I called your office and Mike Clark

Questionable
Water Quality
I fly with one of the local search and
rescue squadrons and in a recent exer-
cise we flew up the Santa Ynez Rivers
valley. First over Cachuma, low and
somewhat discolored, then over
Gibraltar, which looked like opaque
pea soup, then over Montecitos own
water, Jameson, a clear beautiful
blue. Now that was impressive! But
as we discuss water quality, visuals,
although helpful are merely a fraction
of the topic needed to this discussion.
As noted in a recent Montecito Journal,
there are several sources for our water.
Those obtaining their water from the
Montecito Water District (MWD)
[not to be confused with the other
MWD Metropolitan Water District
of Southern California] are, nonethe-
less, lucky because it is perhaps the
best water along the South Coast.
As noted, we get our water from
various sources. Perhaps the worst is
water from the State Water Project.
This accrues to a couple of reasons: 1)
its terribly expensive and 2) the qual-
ity is questionable. As to the latters
questionable quality: lab tests used to
verify water quality as generally used
throughout industry are antiquated.
Thus, pathogens and antibiotic resis-
tant genes as now found in many of the
nations water sources are not noted in
or by these old tests. Those tests, if
you go to Google are called the MPN
for Most Probable Number. These tests
use an indicator bacterium, usually
a coliform, and that test requires an
actively growing culture. But many of
the bacteria found in water can reside
in a stunted or non-growing phase
and thus are not counted in these
types of tests. Additionally, many of
the newer emerging pathogens and
their genes are not picked up by these
antiquated standard tests. Thus one
can read a false negative for a perhaps
very contaminated water supply, a
supply that can be legally delivered,
based on standard test passage but at
the same time one that could cause
serious disease. The regulatory com-
munity is well aware of this but like
most regulators, that community is
clientele-captured by the very industry
it was established to regulate.
This problem is especially egregious
where treated sewage discharge is
mixed with that water. This mixing of
sewage and surface water happens all
along the Sacramento River, its tributar-
ies, and the Delta because cities dump
their sewage effluents into those sur-
face water sources. That water is what
is sent down to us through the State
Water Project systems. The US EPA is
well aware of this sewage contamina-
tion but is also clientele-captured.
In the late 1970s, the US EPAs
Wastewater Research Division,
Municipal Environmental Research
Laboratory, Cincinnati, Ohio docu-
mented that the sewer plant discharge
to the nations rivers and lakes was a
principal source of antibiotic resistant
pathogen release. Note to the careful
reader, this study also shows that UV
disinfection actually boosts the capac-
ity of antibiotic resistant organisms to
survive. A colleague doing research in
this area also noted that UV, while it
may kill the host bacteria does noth-
ing to the underlying genes, which
are thus available to other bacteria.
Chlorine, as applied as a disinfectant
to water also has little impact on these
genes. Thus, the two principal ways we
disinfect our water do an exceedingly
poor job when it comes to bacterial
and other pathogenic genes. As to this
study by EPA, in the interest of politics,
it is believed that the EPA removed all
records of that study from its data base
and to this day is reluctant to discuss
this topic. This sequestering of infor-
mation then not only impacts the state
water quality regulators but substan-
tially retards the research into newer
sewer plants, thus any improvement of
the failing infrastructure.
VBNCs Rampant
When, however, we talk about these
old standard water quality tests, it is
important to remember that there are
typically two states of bacterial growth
that are missed by these antiquated
standard test. Persisters, are a group
of bacteria not well recorded by these
standard tests and thus because these
tests can not see those persisters, the
results under-report actual numbers
of contained bacteria, i.e., a false nega-
tive. Persisters are a class of dormant
cells that can survive the disinfection
or antimicrobial treatments that kill the
majority of their genetically identical
siblings. Persisters are capable of enter-
ing a non- or extremely slow-grow-
ing physiological state, which makes
them insensitive (refractory or toler-
ant) to the action of disinfectants of
antimicrobial drugs. This also shields
them from the standard water qual-
ity tests. Persisters are also difficult
for the immune system to eliminate.
They become a reservoir for the slowly
smoldering infections that are often
seen post surgery: infections that are
refractory to treatment. Thus these
infections often see the need for remov-
ing implanted prosthetic devices, and
opening yet again, the split chest bone
following open heart surgery. Chronic
infections can affect people of any age,
health, or immune status.
The second general state of bacteria
that are missed by the typically used
water quality tests are bacteria that are
in a Viable But Non Culturable (VBNC)
state. These bacteria cannot grow in the
standard culture media employed in
the typically used water quality tests.
Bacteria enter the VBNC state as a
response to stress, and stress is caused
by adverse conditions. VBNC bacteria
can remain in that state for over a year
and may form within biofilms that
are found in water pipes. It has been
shown that numerous pathogens and
non-pathogens can enter the VBNC
state, and therefore this has significant
implications in both water quality and
pathogenesis. Tests done of sewage
byproducts showed that when coming
out of the VBNC state, the actual test
results had under reported reality by
several magnitudes.
Use Less; Need Less
As seen in the MJ the second larg-
est source of Montecito water is State
Water Project water, comprising about
20% of our supply. But the rub is that
it can act as a contaminant to the
remainder of the supply through gene
transfer. Thus, a moment on genes.
The genes from bacteria and other
pathogen can be and are released from
their parent hosts and are found in the
water supplies in increasingly alarm-
ing numbers. Remember also that we
are running out of antibiotics that
actually work against pathogens. This
all the while one sees these pathogens
getting more resistant. Thus we have
two curves that are, at some point in
time, likely to come together.
In 2006 at the Environmental
Law Conference in Yosemite, vari-
ous papers were delivered. Session
#27 was to contain some interesting
insight into this area of non-action
by regulators. Of particular interest
was the analysis of the federal Safe
Drinking Water Act (SDWA) by one
of the US/EPA drinking water toxi-
cologists. His delivered paper ended
with the following: Bottom line on
almost all the emerging contami-
nants that have attracted attention:
it will be a long time, if ever, before
they are regulated under the SDWA.
With that in mind, when might the
US/EPA begin to address the issues of
antibiotic resistance or resistant genes
found in the nations water supply?
Can the industry move ahead absent
this and if in doing so, how will it deal
with resistance beside just ignoring it?
So, we need less of the more expen-
sive State Water Project water and
at the same time consider the public
health implications. If we conserve
supplies, we will also need less of
that water. Thus from a public health
aspect, it behooves us to conserve.
A lawn in this area takes about an
acre inch a week during the summer.
What if we move to drought resistant
plantings instead of lawn? The dis-
cussion of water, its supply and the
issues of that supply will be growing
topics. We need to be informed so
we can make intelligent decisions.
The MJ is one very good avenue to
enhance this information transfer.

coastal branch of the State Water Project (SWP), and its budget-breaking com-
panion, Governor Jerry Browns proposed Twin Tunnels Project.
There are some 15,000 desalination plants operating worldwide, producing
some 60 million cubic meters of water per day, according to the International
Desalination Association. In areas of low permitting costs, like South Padre
Island in Texas and Tampa, Florida, costs of water per acre feet are estimated
to be as low as $700 to $1,400 per AF. According to the Surfrider Foundation,
a proposed seawater desalination facility in Huntington Beach will produce
desalinated water at a cost of $1,500 per AF, plus another $90 to $140 per AF for
conveyance and delivery.
Can Seawater Desalination Plants Reduce Their Costs?
In March 2013, John B. Stetson, Jr., Senior Technical Fellow at Lockheed
Martin Corp, announced the discovery of a new, vastly cheaper filtration mate-
rial known as Perforene, made up of sheets of graphene with holes of about a
nanometer (a billionth of a meter) in size, large enough to pass water through,
but small enough to block the ions of salt in seawater.
Because the sheets of graphene are so thin one carbon atom in thickness it
takes much less energy to push the seawater through the filter with the force
needed to separate the salt from the seawater. According to Stetson, The new
membranes in the Perforene filters are 500 times thinner than the best filter on
the market today, and a thousand times stronger. The energy and the pressure
thats required to filter salt is approximately one hundred times less than the
energy used by current filters. Lockheed Martin plans to have a working pro-
totype available by the end of 2013 as a drop-in replacement for filters using the
reverse osmosis process.
A novel approach to further reduce desalination costs at a reconstituted Santa
Barbara desalination facility would be to allow a slant-drilling permit for natu-
ral gas extraction in the Santa Barbara Channel, in return for the natural gas
supplier providing free natural gas to power the desalination plant, as well
as paying some or all of the reactivation capital costs. This would have the twin
benefits of reducing both capital and operating costs, while lowering the cost of
precious water for all current and future users.
State Water Project (SWP) Costs
Currently, the Montecito Water District (MWD) pays 39% of its total budget
($4.5 million out of $13 million) to fund its share of the dams, pipes, reservoirs
and aqueducts of the SWP coastal branch. This annual obligation must be met
whether or not Montecito uses one drop of State water; SWP water used is an
additional cost. $114 million of SWP debt will be repaid by 2022, but the remain-
ing $481 million wont be paid off until 2035.
If Governor Browns Twin Tunnels Project is started prior to 2035, calling
for the construction of two giant 35-mile water-diversion tunnels to re-route
northern California water from the Sacramento River under the Sacramento-
San Joaquin Delta to southern California, MWD would be saddled with even
more costs. The result would be a non-negotiable, payment of its share of an
estimated $24 to $64 billion in added Twin Tunnels cost, according to Dick
Shaikewitz, chairman of the Central Coast Water Authority (CCWA), and Ray
Stokes, CCWA Deputy Director.
What We Can Do
SWP costs are rising at the same time that desalination costs may be falling.
The currently proposed 55% increase in water rates for MWD customers over
the next five years, does not fund any additional Twin Tunnels debt, nor any
water needs in excess of 5,200 AF per year. The threat of drought and depleted
groundwater aquifers, increases the need for a reliable and locally controlled
replacement source of new water. It would be imprudent for our water agen-
cies not to talk to Ionics, IDE Technologies, Poseidon Resources and Lockheed
Martin to accurately estimate future cost for desalination water versus the
expected costs and reliability of SWP water.
A partnership of local water agencies should contact Lockheed Martin to offer
the currently mothballed Charles Meyer Desalination facility in Santa Barbara as
a test-bed site for the installation of Lockheed Martins new Perforene filters. The
City of Santa Barbara Water Resources Department should ask for state and federal
research funding, plus engineering research support services from the University
of California Santa Barbara to restart the Santa Barbara desalination plant.
It would also behoove we who are at risk of unending and even arbitrary pay-
ments to SWP to contact and contract with an aggressive local lawyer who is
ready, able, and willing to take on the powerful forces behind the Twin Tunnels
Project and get Montecito and Santa Barbara out of it before it is too late.
Its time to discover whether desalination can be made to work at an afford-
able cost, or whether we should remain at the mercy of SWP to pay for what-
ever it is the state agency finally ends up spending for its grand and what
many consider unnecessary statewide plan. MJ

MFPD
Assists in Spring Fire
At 90 percent containment as of press
time, the Spring Fire, which broke
out in Ventura County last Thursday,
May 2, has implications for a long
and intense fire season, according to
officials. The fire, which cost over $10
million to fight, scorched 28,000 acres
and threatened 4,000 homes. Twenty-
five structures (outbuildings and com-
mercial property) were damaged, and
eight out of the 440 firefighters sent to
fight the fire were treated for minor
injuries.
Montecito Fire sent two engines
to assist in the blaze, which officials
believe to be started by a sparking
car engine. The fire broke out near
Highway 101 at Camarillo Springs,
and made its way into Newbury Park
before heading towards Pacific Coast
Highway.
MFPDs first engine was part of
a Strike Team of engines sent from
Santa Barbara County, comprised of
Type One engines from Montecito
Fire, Carpinteria-Summerland Fire,
and Santa Barbara County Fire, and
two from Santa Barbara City Fire. The
second engine responded as an indi-
vidual resource. Montecito Fire main-
tains this specific engine for the Office
of Emergency Services (OES). Once it
arrives at the incident, it will be mar-
ried up with four other OES engines to
form another Strike Team.
According to MFPDs Geri Ventura,
A strike team is comprised of five
pieces of the same type of equip-
ment and one Leader, or Chief Officer.
Both engines Montecito sent worked
as Structure Defense engines on the
incident.
This fire spread quickly due to high
temperatures, low humidity, and high
winds, and was exacerbated by early
season dry vegetation. This made
for a trifecta of dangerous condi-
tions. MFPD representatives tell us
Montecito residents should take this
time, while we do not have all these
conditions present, to evaluate their
preparedness levels. MFPD recom-
mends creating a defensible home (the
district will provide a free fire safety
inspection for Montecito residents and
make recommendations on how to
make them more fire safe), preparing
family with evacuation plans, and
evacuating early in case of a wildfire.
The District is also urging residents

Hollister Ranch:
Grass Fed Beef
Dozens of Montecito residents are
in on a secret: Hollister Ranch, the
14,600-acre private ranch community
north of Santa Barbara, known for
its pristine coastline and expansive
views, is also home to 1,500 cattle,
and is now the growing place for local
grass-fed beef.
The Hollister Ranch Cooperative
has been raising cattle for over 35
years, but two years ago a handful of
cowboys and cowgirls implemented a
new program, selling grass-fed beef.
The beef, which contains no hormones
or antibiotics, is delivered to homes
from Montecito to the Central Coast,
complete with several different cuts,
and a recipe guide. The program was
spearheaded by ranch manager John
McCarty, who has lived on the ranch
for 40 years.
McCarty and volunteer Kathi
Carlson gave us a private tour of the
ranch last month, and explained that
the cattle, which have full use of 25
pastures, help prevent deterioration
of the land, which can be plagued by
broadleaf, mustard and tobacco seed,
and wild radish. If you dont use it,
you lose it, McCarty said about
the land. The 1,000 deeded owners
of the 136-parcel property voted to
pool their grassland back in the sev-
enties, to give the cattle full grazing
rights and make the ranch a viable
agricultural operation. Starting the
grass-fed beef program was a way
to diversify the operations on the
ranch, McCarty told us, in addition
to serving the greater community,
he said.
This is the real deal, McCarty
said about the operation. The beef
is authentic, good, and high qual-
ity. He and Carlson, along with a
handful of ranch hands, manage the
cattle on a daily basis, which lessens
wildfire danger and enhances the land
by locating water troughs away from
creeks and riparian habitats.
The beef is harvested six months
out of the year; last year almost
35,000 pounds of beef was harvest-
ed, all hormone- and antibiotic-free.
McCarty handpicks the animals to be
harvested, ensuring their mild tem-
perament, low-stress handling, and
ideal body structure. We are look-
ing for the couch potatoes, McCarty
said, explaining that the cattle are
raised on the hills, but brought to
pastures closer to ground during the
last 45-60 days, so they have to work
less. He explained adrenaline taints
tender meat, so it is imperative to
have a low-stress environment.
The beef, which has a significantly
lower fat content than grain-fed beef,
is available at independent markets
in the north part of Santa Barbara
County, as well as through the Beef
Club, which includes free home deliv-
ery once a month. Its a way for
people to get locally sourced beef,
which is affordable, tastes great, and
is healthier than traditional beef,
Carlson said.

Vehicle Break-in on Arroqui Road
Saturday, 20 April, 6:55 pm Deputy Welch responded to Arroqui Road in
Montecito on report of a theft. The reporting party said his wife parked their
vehicle in front of their residence during the evening hours on April 19. She
did not lock the doors prior to entering the residence; when she returned to
the vehicle the next morning, she noticed two phone chargers and two rear
seat television monitors were missing. The value of the stolen items were over
$2,000; a report of grand theft was taken.
Smash & Grab on Randall Road
Sunday, 28 April, 5:07 pm Deputy Delgadillo was dispatched to a home in
Montecito, where the resident reported her vehicle had been broken into earlier
in the day on Randall Road. The woman had left her purse on the floorboard of
the passenger side, and when she returned to the vehicle the window had been
smashed and her purse was gone. She contacted her credit card companies,
who told her one of her credit cards had been used at a gas station in Santa
Barbara.
The cost of the purse and wallet, as well as the damage to the vehicle, was
estimated at $1,200.

In Business: Barre 101
Santa Barbara business owner
Jodi Conroy has opened Barre 101,
an independent barre studio on
Chapala Street. The studio, which
features dozens of barre classes
based on the fitness principles of
dancer and teacher Lotte Berk, is
the second of two studios the
first is in Agoura Hills owned by
Conroy and her husband, Quinn.
We thought Santa Barbara would
be the perfect place to open another
studio, and weve been so welcomed
here, Conroy said.
The couple has run the workout
center under a franchise the last two
years, and earlier this year decided
to reopen the space as an indepen-
dent studio. A Grand Re-Opening is
planned for Sunday, May 19.
Conroy, who grew up in Colorado,
Palm Desert, and Agoura Hills, is
a former deaf and hard-of-hearing
teacher; she holds an M.A. in Special
Education. She was teaching deaf
and hard-of-hearing high school stu-
dents in San Francisco when a friend
convinced her to try out a barre
workout class. I was immediately
in love with it, she said, explain-
ing she lost nearly 20 pounds in six
months and got in the best shape of
her life. After training as an instruc-
tor at the studio where she worked
out, she and her husband decided
to take a chance and open their own
studio in Agoura Hills in 2008.
Conroy plans on offering tradi-
tional barre classes, which are a
60-minute total body workout using
ballet-inspired moves, stretching,
and free weights. She also plans
on offering other variations of the
class, including 30-minute abdomi-
nal, glutes, and stretching classes,
and an hour-long class that features
more cardiovascular work. The first
of these classes will be unveiled at
the Grand Re-Opening. The excit-
ing thing is we can now offer more
options, which our clients have been
asking for, says Conroy, who teach-
es several classes a week in addition
to raising two small boys. She also
says she has been able to lower the
monthly rate for clients, making the
classes more affordable.
The studio, located at 761 Chapala
Street, features two fully equipped
exercise rooms to accommodate a
growing class schedule and larger
staff. To learn more about Barre 101,
visit the Grand Re-Opening on May
19, which will feature class demos,
refreshments, local vendors and a
Lululemon fashion show.

La Favorita Lecture
Spanish California was lonely and isolated
from the rest of the world. To protect its
claim on Alta California (or present-day
California), the Spanish government
built presidios (military posts), missions
(church communities), and pueblos (towns)
along the coast. These settlements were
highly dependent on outside goods. Both
smiling, happy, and healthy.
For twenty years, Mr. Freericks developed
network television shows, rising to
executive positions at CBS, Wilshire Court,
NBC, and fnally New Line Cinema.
He was an Executive Producer on The
Glow and a Co-Executive Producer on

BOOK TALK
by Shelly Lowenkopf
Odd Bird
Shelly Lowenkopf blogs
@ www.lowenkopf.
com. Lowenkopfs lat-
est book is The Fiction
Writers Handbook. His
short fiction, which has
appeared widely in the
literary and commercial
press, is featured in Love
Will Make You Drink and
Gamble, Stay Out Late at
Night, due in 2013.
A
fanciful but no less significant
legend persists in the matter
of Herman Melvilles master-
piece, Moby-Dick. Given the task of
reviewing the harrowing tale, a gram-
mar school boys take was the no-non-
sense, This book tells me more about
whales than I want to know.
A realistic connection exists
between the Melville epic and Brian
Kimberlings debut novel, Snapper,
which is not, you will be relieved to
discover, about whales and the sea,
rather it is about birds and Indiana.
Snapper is published by Pantheon,
a house long known for the quirky
brilliance of its literary offerings. Like
Moby-Dick, Snapper takes us places we
would not ordinarily venture unless
we were devoted bird watchers. Also
like the perhaps apocryphal Moby-
Dick anecdote, Snapper may tell us
more about birds than we want to
know. But as in real estate, where loca-
tion is everything, in fiction, humor
trumps detail every time.
All right, Ive said it: Herman
Melville is not funny. Jim Alexander
is funny. Brian Kimberling is funny.
We follow Melville because he is
intense and lugubrious. We follow
Brian Kimberling and his protagonist-
narrator Nathan Lochmueller, because
his ventures through the tangles of
academia, bird nests, romantic rela-
tionships, and Indiana, not to mention
quirky characters, are in their ways,
as fraught as Ishmaels. As an experi-
ment, I tried not to follow, by putting
Snapper down and not returning to it.
Curiosity drew me back to stay.
I got my job by accident, Nathan
Lochmueller confesses. A sycamore
tree landed on the roof of my prede-
cessors 4 x 4 during a thunderstorm.
He spent six months in a neck brace.
Shortly after, we meet Nathans
boss. Gerald is pigeon-toed, with an
aquiline nose and crows feet around
his hooded brown eyes a caricature
of an ornithologist. He even picks
at his food. Hes a Princeton profes-
sor now. Back then he was a PhD
candidate surveying the effects of
habitat fragmentation on neotropical
migrant songbirds in south central
Indiana.
Nathan does what young, college-
aged persons in need of jobs do, which
is admit to interests, abilities, and
understandings more reflective of
imagination than actuality. In real life,
such creativity often leads to high
degrees of stress and then to unem-
ployment. In fiction such as Snapper,
which is a type of story called com-
ing-of-age, we meet characters etched
with laser beams and situations that
cause us to view our own history with
regret.
Here we are, then, not only in
Indiana, but in the metaphorical land-
scape of bird watching, where we
encounter a German shepherd whose
specialty is howling back-up vocals, a
snapping turtle who likes to dine on
thumbs, and Fast Eddie, not the Fast
Eddie sort from The Hustler, rather
the Fast Eddie of the eponymous Fast
Eddies Burgers & Beer, whose speed
was in finding a way to make a sizable
sum of money in a short time.
There is also Lola. Her charm lay
not in her husky voice or delicate face
or fluid figure, but in the way all these
things reflected her intense pleasure
in seeing you. In so many ways, alas
for Nathan, who wished for her to
seeing only him, but as he reflects,
she wasnt very discriminating. She
is a graduate student, getting by to a
degree on grants, scholarships, and
the powers of intelligence, charm, and
curiosity.
There is also Uncle Dart, a mysteri-
ous Texan who turns the Indiana of
this enchanting landscape into a cru-
cible that is certain to boil over.
The format of Snapper is a series
of short takes, retrospective and yet
crisp in their awareness of the imme-
diate moment, on occasion comedy of
acute absurdity, at other times awl-
like piercings of concern for the state
of natural beauty, and at still other
times, the wrenching awareness of
how coincidence can effect the turns
and thrusts of our life.
Youll learn about birds without
thinking about it, and confront the
trigonometry of the placement of
bird nests with an aha-moment of
insight about the way formal educa-
tion was as boring as you thought and
why such remarkable discoveries as
Snapper are like finding quarters and
half dollars in sofa cushions while
you were casting about for your lost
keychain. MJ

Take the Starlight to Paso
MONTECITO
SPORTSMAN
Dr. John Burk is
a retired Santa
Barbara dentist
and a longtime
Montecito resi-
dent
B
est quick spring getaway
ever. Hop a weekday north-
bound Amtrak train in Santa
Barbara at 12:40 to Paso Robles for
$25. (Depart with or without your fly
rod as the upper Salinas River flows
through Paso.) Stow your small roll-
on and bring your carry-on, which
may contain a bottle of wine, to
your spacious seat on the left or
ocean-side of the train. Sit back and
be swept away for the next four
hours as you pass normally hidden
views of our exquisite coastline to
the north passing the Bixby Ranch,
Hollister Ranch and Vandenberg Air
Force Base. Hope for clear weather
because passing Points Conception
and Argelles allows you to see the
great California bend as the geog-
raphy and train leave the east-west
coastline that defines Santa Barbara
and turns north as you notice a
decided difference in the character
of the ocean which ship navigators
know well. A dining car is available
for a late lunch (it looked excellent)
or bring some sandwiches like Sue
and I and local friends Joe and Fran
Adams did. We visited the observa-
tion car so viewing could be done
from a comfortable dome car. We
passed the colorful surf kiters at
Jalama Beach and what looked like
missile silos at Vandenberg. On dis-
play were coastline vistas reminis-
cent of Big Sur, a dramatic view of
the Cuesta Grade just north of San
Luis Obispo that can be treacher-
ous by car, and as we turned inland,
rolling green pastures and fields of
California grasses and produce.
Arriving in Paso Robles at 4:37 pm
refreshed, we rolled our bags two
blocks to the town green or square
looking much like a Midwest town.
(A trolley is also available.) Passing
shops and making reservations at
a restaurant that looked good, we
checked into the Paso Robles Inn
re-done and downsized in 1940. The
original, looking as grandiose as the
old S.B. Potter Hotel and sharing
its fate, burned down. Comfortable
quiet rooms, beautiful central gar-
dens and paths and a swell saloon
upstairs allowed us to smile over
glasses of local wine from the bars
balcony and make plans. Drought
ruled out fishing here so we had to
settle for wine and food. Having no
wheels ourselves, we hired a guide
from Cloud Climbers with his
canopy-covered jeep to take us to
about five of the local wineries more
numerous than the Santa Barbara
area. One can easily research the
many wineries and pick favorites,
but Joe recommended that our driver
choose, as long as he took us to pic-
turesque spots. We were not disap-
pointed. Plus, it seems after spring
break, all the places and restaurants
we encountered were un-crowded.
The next day our friends had to
depart, but Sue and I signed up and
joined a walking wine and food tast-
ing tour around the center of town
which is all of five square blocks.
We joined Laura and her husband,
Yule, on a romp through Paso which
turned out to be the highlight of our
stay. Our hosts own and operate
Central Coast Food Tours and for
almost four hours we were led to
some of the quaintest spots and best
restaurants and boutique wineries
in town. Laura is an engaging and
upbeat local resident and treated us
to a historical walk with her stories
of the past as we worked up an appe-
tite for the next stop. Come hungry
with an ability to imbibe wine is my
advice, and you will love it.
The following day, hoping to burn
a few calories, Sue and I rented bicy-
cles and took a trail only a stones
throw from downtown along route 46
to the west. There is a nice paved trail
beside the frontage road that leads all
the way to the coast, about 22 miles.
Pedaling less miles than that, we
found a pleasant looking winery (one
of many wineries along the path)
and made it our halfway point for a
lunch of cheese, salami and crackers,
oh and a taste of wine. We swung by
the Paso Robles Pioneer Museum just
before returning our bikes.
Back at the inn, we swam in the
pool and read. The trip home was
merely a delightful back track, liter-
ally, as we revisited the scenery home
to our parked car. Since we took the
train, the guard only charged us $10
for four days of parking (a discount
Amtrak offers to customers).
Moral: take the train, leave the
wheels and remember, a half carafe
of wine is illogical, immoral and
inadequate.

Foster Care of Santa Barbara held its
second annual Al Fresco Afternoon on
the Riviera on the impeccably groomed
lawns of the Biltmore under the searingly
hot sun.
The charity, which has placed 129
babies in homes in the last six years, had
210 guests, more than twice the num-
ber of last year, helping raise more than
$20,000 for the cause.
Our first event was put together in six

Another Awesome Adderley Act
Santa Barbara Youth Ensemble Theatre,
run by the ever dynamic Janet Adderley,
had another success on its hands with its
performance of the Jule Styne-Stephen
Sondheim Broadway hit Gypsy: A Musical
Fable, loosely based on the memoirs of the
famous striptease artist Gypsy Rose Lee.
Camille Umoff, a 12-year-old SB
Junior High student, was undoubtedly
the hit of the show, with a voice and
maturity well beyond her years.
Playing an overpowering stage mother,
she starred in all four Lobero productions,
backed up by a young and very capable
cast.
I caught Saturday evenings perfor-
mance which also featured talented
Alexander Fell, a Crane student, who
made considerable impact as The
Artful Dodger in last years production
of Oliver! and Jacob Pelto, an eighth
grader at Providence Hall, making his
debut.
Charles OConnors scenic design and
Thomas Marquezs colorful costumes
added to the eclectic mix, while Janets
daughter, Akina Adderley, conducted
the lively score, containing such classics
as Everythings Coming Up Roses and
Together, Wherever We Go....
Food & Wine Safaris
Tony twosome Elizabeth Reed and
Emily Roos are celebrating the third
anniversary of their Food & Wine Safaris.
Elizabeth, a former teacher of mentally
handicapped children, and Emily, who
splits her time between our Eden by the
Beach and Sun Valley, Idaho, formulated
the idea for the private winemaker dinners,
starting in a small way at Tydes at the Coral
Casino, where Elizabeth is a member.
I asked the chef if she would make
paella for a group of friends and, given it
was a no corkage night, everyone brought
a Spanish wine. This continued through
France, Italy and New Zealand.
In the meantime, I was doing a food
and wine safari blog, which also has a
Facebook page. As I covered more food
and wine events, I began to meet a lot of
winemakers. We came to the conclusion
we should branch out and invite winer-
ies and showcase the Central Coast and,
sometimes, beyond.
As the numbers increased, we moved
our dinners to the Biltmore.
The duo have quite a following, with
a list of more than 200 enthusiastic wine
aficionados. But event numbers are lim-
ited to a maximum of 50.
I was at the Bella Vista the other
day when Michelin-starred British
chef Charlie Rushton, who used to work
at one of my favorite London eateries,
Mirabelle, formerly owned by Marco
Pierre White, tried out his culinary wiz-
ardry with a four-course dinner featuring
abalone, pinot rigatoni and herb crusted
lamb accompanied by a selection of recent
vintages from Cambria Estate Winery
chosen by winemaker Denise Shurtleff,
with guests including Pat Andersons,

Lovely Luncheon
A record 600 guests turned out at Fess
Parkers Doubletree for the Womens Fund
of Santa Barbaras 9th annual Presentation
of Funds lunch, when a hefty $525,000
was handed out to eight local non-profit
agencies.
Since it began in 2004 with just
68 women, the fund, which now has
a membership of 600, has awarded
grants totaling more than $4,125,000
to 55 organizations from Carpinteria
to Goleta.
This years recipients included Doctors
Without Walls, Girls Inc. of Carpinteria,
the Westside Boys and Girls Club, the
Youth Violence Prevention Program and
Womens Economic Ventures.
Among those joining in the lun-
cheon largesse were Stina Hans, Betty
Elings Wells, Sallie Coughlin, Carol
Palladini, Ginni Dreier, Mary Garton,
Perri Harcourt, Mahri Kerley, Alice
Willfong, Joan Dinaberg, Jo Thompson
and Missy Sheldon...
Enchanting El Eliseo
Summer outfits with long floral dresses
were de rigeur when the International
Circle of the Community Arts Music
Association threw a garden party at El
Eliseo, the beautiful Montecito estate of
Virginia Castagnola-Hunter.
The boffo bash, co-chaired by Bridget
Colleary and Raye Haskell, attracted
100 top donors, who were entertained
as they strolled and sipped around the
grounds by Laurie Rasmussen on the
harp and flutist Ritchie Gonzalez.
Circle chair, Bitsy Bacon, welcomed
guests, including Patrick and Missy
DeYoung, Christopher Lancashire
and Catherine Gee, Tim Owens,
Carla Hahn, Michael and Nancy
Gifford, Barbara Burger, Bob and Val
Montgomery, Andrew Mester, Herb
and Elaine Kendall, Roger and Diana
Phillips, Joanne Holderman, Andre
Saltoun and John Lundegard...
Celebrating Sole Sisters
There was a great deal of sole searching
when a Wine, Women & Shoes party was
thrown at the Montecito Country Club to
benefit CASA, Court Appointed Special
Advocates of Santa Barbara County.
Waiters, dressed in all black, carried
silver trays, each one featuring a single
shoe style, while female models on raised
plinths showed off the latest creative cob-
blery, along with dresses and hats.
Its a really fun way to be stylish and
also raise funds, says Kim Colby Davis,
executive director.
More than 200 trendsetters, including
Marylove Thralls, Mindy Denson and
Elsa Granados, went to see what was
afoot and raised around $50,000 for the
non-profit.
Rapid tongued Clint Bell from San Diego
conducted the auction, which included trips
to New York and the Napa Valley, and a
stay at the El Encanto, while the ubiquitous
Andrew Firestone emceed the bash, which
was chaired by Sabrina Bernardi.
The well heaeparty concluded with a
fashion show organized by Montecitos
Lana Marm Boutique, including color-
ful floral print outfits by the late Palm
Beach, Florida designer Lilly Pulitzer...

The design of the Mason Street
Monster, which has been on dis-
play since February, was created by
McAvenes son, Ben, who has helped
inspire his dads latest venture: Macky
World.
Macky World is a kids-based busi-
ness; McAvene teaches local school
kids puppet making, paint techniques
and other mediums, and teaches them
to cultivate their creativity. I want to
share my creative process with kids,
and help them find theirs, McAvene
told us during a recent interview.
He says the business aims to create
original content for original kids,
inspiring a new generation of techno-
logically savvy kids to unleash their
inner artists.
McAvene, who grew up in Chicago
and has lived a good part of his life
in Southern California, says he is here
to stay. He is available for commis-
sion for a range of artistic projects;
his work, including information about
Macky World, can be viewed online at

I
f youve been to Santa Barbaras
Funk Zone lately, youve likely
noticed the Mason Street Murals,
a collection of roughly 18 art installa-
tions on the side of a vacant building
on the corner of Mason and Helena
Streets. The murals, the brainchild
of arts educator and advocate Laura
Inks, have become a sort of tourist
destination, and have deterred graffiti
and vandalism in the up-and-coming
Funk Zone area.
On display now is an airbrushed
mural of a five-eyed purple mon-
ster, created by Santa Barbara artist
Matthew McAvene. The artist, who
says he thinks three dimensionally, has
installations and artwork throughout
Montecito, Santa Barbara, Isla Vista,
and beyond, including a six-foot long
endangered steelhead mosaic trout in
front of the Santa Barbara Maritime
Museum and a California Condor
sculpture which hangs at the Santa
Barbara Zoo.
We first told you about McAvenes
versatility seven years ago, when one
of our MJ columnists called him one of
the areas most prolific artists in mul-
tiple mediums. Since then McAvene
says he has continued to fulfill his
goal of creating positive change, by
using his imagination to create a mul-
titude of projects, ranging from ceiling
murals to sculptures, larger-than-life
puppets, custom signs, faux finish-
ing, whimsical stage sets, and much
more. Through his special effects
and decorative painting business,
FX Paint, McAvene has worked for
major production companies includ-
ing Fox, Disney, and Universal. He
has also designed and built a multi-
tude of stage sets and props for local
school productions. As if that werent
enough, McAvene is also a singer and

Unfinished
Business Redux
On Entertainment
by Steven Libowitz
Steven Libowitz has
reported on the arts and
entertainment for more
than 30 years; he has
contributed to Montecito
Journal for over ten
years.
A
year ago, when Rod Lathim
premiered Unfinished Business,
his theatrical rumination of the
events on the day his mother died, as
part of a series of short one acts, he
had no idea if hed ever get the chance
to stage the work again. Its a pretty
unusual piece: the play sprang from
experiences he had of visitors coming
into the room to escort his mother into
the next world as if the subject of
death alone isnt challenging enough.
It was very profound for me, but I
did have some fear that others might
not relate to it at all, he recalled.
And my friends were wondering if it
wasnt just a vanity piece. So I thought
it might be too self indulgent.
Instead, the audience reaction went
well beyond Lathims expectations, as
people were so moved and eager to
share their own stories with the dying
and of connecting with those who
have passed away that he eventually
had to ask them to leave so the theater
could close for the night.
Now, Unfinished Business is back,
expanded from barely 30 minutes to
just under an hour, as Lathim took the
intervening time to hone and mas-
sage the script. He also moved the
show to the Lobero. Thats a much
larger venue, but Lathim is recreating
the intimacy of the earlier staging by
seating the audience limited to just
140 per show on the stage along
with the actors. And the talk back is
built in the presentation: After each
performance, the audience is invited
to participate in a discussion about the
play and the issues it raises moder-
ated by various clergy and commu-
nity leaders. And the performances are
serving as a benefit fundraiser for the
Alliance for Living and Dying Well, a
collective whose purpose is to encour-
age community conversations about
death, dying and living well.
Lathim talked about the genesis of
the piece, and the new production,
late last week.
Q. The whole premise of the play sounds

T
he already precarious profes-
sional bicycle road racing
world exploded when Lance
Armstrong finally confessed late last
year to doping all the way through
his Tour de France triumphs, fur-
ther damaging a sport already tainted
beyond baseballs bashing by similar
revelations and accusations against
less famous riders.
The final chapter of Armstrong-gate
may still be yet to be written. But by
this point, the athletes themselves are
much more interested in getting back
to racing. And now local enthusiasts
will have their first chance to witness
some of the surviving top riders up
close in eight years as the Amgen Tour
of California comes through Santa
Barbara on May 15-16.
The tour stopped in Santa Barbara
in 2006, the year of the first race, but
since then the only stage held within
the county were time trials in Santa
Ynez. But the reconfigured course
heading north this year for the first
time, from Escondido to Santa Rosa
will end Stage 4 on Thursday after-
noon and begin Stage 5 the following
morning at the waterfront.
Details, schedules, team rosters
(including former champion Chris
Horner), special VIP viewing/party
packages, tour gear and information
on volunteering and peripheral events
can be found on the tours website
(www.amgentourofcalifornia.com)
and the site for the local entry (www.
SantaBarbaraTourOfCalifornia.com).
We grabbed a few insights into the
race from Lucas Euser, a six-time TOC
competitor who spent a lot of time in
Montecito a couple of years ago when
he worked with personal trainers from
Platinum Fitness while recovering
from a serious bike accident suffered
in 2009. Finally fully healthy, he was
one of nine riders selected to the U.S.
team for the World Championships
last year, and fell just short of making
it to the Olympics. Euser is lead rider
for UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling
Team.
Q. How is the new course?
A. Its nice to go south to north this
year. It offers a lot of challenges for
us and excitement for the fans. They
try to throw us as many curve balls as
they can, which is great. If its predict-
able it can be too easy. Now we have
to study the course, the weather pat-
terns, the wind, to gain every advan-
tage we can.
What are the biggest challenges?
Theres something like 30,000 feet
of climbing in the last three days. The
finish is crazy. Theres a huge time
trial thats incredibly grueling. The
cool thing about this race is that every
day is new. You have to make a lot of
calls on the road rather than having
to plan everything in advance. Thats
exciting.
Youre a climbing specialist, though.
Yeah, I like it when road goes up.
Im a bit smaller, and strong and
powerful, and my aggression kicks in
when were fighting for an uphill fin-
ish. I try to get it down to as few guys
as possible. For me, its in my nature;
its my body type. But its a blessing
and a curse because its one of the
hardest aspects of the sport. The tours
are almost always won in the uphill
stage.
Ive got to ask: how do you feel about the
whole thing with Armstrong?
Im an extremely positive person.
These things are challenges that we
have to overcome. The sport took a
hit. I didnt even know the guy. I never
had to make that choice. I never came
across that conversation or any kind
of pressure, because people were look-
ing out for us. But maybe it needed to
happen to recover from where weve
been in the past few years. The new
generation of American cyclists are
pure, cool and clean. The future is
bright for us. So as far as were con-
cerned were going to keep riding the
way we do, with good values, and
do what we can to win, through our
brains and our work ethic.
Why should people still care about
cycling when so many athletes were cheat-
ing?
Were working our butts off to bring
people back and show them were
true. If you give us a second chance,
we wont let you down.
Cycling Cinema
Santa Barbara-born filmmaker
brothers Jacob and Isaac Seigel-
Boettner spent a good part of last
year following six student athletes up
and down the bountiful Berkeley hills
as part of the NorCal High School
Cycling League mountain bike-racing
season. Now, theyve turned that foot-
age into Singletrack High, a feature-
length documentary about the posi-
tive impacts of bicycling on adoles-
cents in their mid-teen years: keeping
kids active on bikes at the age when
they might trade in two wheels for
four also keeps them out of trouble.
The film is being shown across the

and your partners provide the ball
return. The MacKenzie Park Lawn

able sport thats quite similar to bocci.
Club members will be available to
offer pointers and provide partners if
you dont bring your own so you can
just show up and have some fun in

AVP returns
Association of Volleyball Players
(AVP), which turns 30 this year, was
on life support in 2010 when misman-
agement again left the players with
no tour. The organization was resur-
rected by Orange County business-
man (and amateur player) Donald
Sun last summer, but only in time to
put on two events, one of which was
held right here at West Beach in Santa
Barbara, just down Cabrillo Boulevard
from East Beach, where so many of
the games greats got their start (for-
mer Olympic Gold medalists Karch
Kiraly, Todd Rogers, Phil Dalhausser
and Eric Fonoimoana all played regu-
larly on those courts).
Now comes word that the AVP tour
has grown to five stops for 2013, and
has also inked a deal with CBS Sports
for TV coverage of all of the cham-
pionship matches. The tour kicks off
on August 16 in Salt Lake City, then
visits Cincinnati and St. Petersburg
(Florida) before arriving on our shores
the weekend of September 28-29, and
concluding in October in Huntington
Beach, just down the street from the
new home of the AVP. The dates were
selected to avoid conflicts with the
FIVB international tour, so most of the
top players are expected to compete,
including Rogers, Dalhausser, three-
time Olympic gold medalist Kerri
Walsh Jennings, 2012 silver medalists
Jen Kessy and April Ross and fel-
low Olympians Sean Rosenthal, Jake
Gibb and Nicole Branagh.
S.B.-raised Rogers, who now lives
in Santa Ynez, has struggled a bit
in the early season with young new
partner Ryan Dougherty, but his ex,
Dalhausser, claimed the first tourna-
ment on the FIVB international tour
at the end of April with new mate
Rosenthal, so expect a high level of
competition and previous-partner
baiting all year on domestic sand.
You can get details and follow the
action on the AVPs website, www.
avp.com, where Rogers has a Q&A
posted where he reiterates how much
he loves playing at East Beach: Its
pretty tough to beat!... It really doesnt
get much better than that. The only
thing I have ever wished for at East
Beach was a good surf break. Jump in
the water for an hour of surfing after
a good hard practice would have been
the only way to make it better.

Lincolns last paragraph, which he
asked everyone to repeat with him:
With malice toward none, with char-
ity for all.
Vice President and Dean of Students
Jane Higa, who announced her retire-
ment in March after serving for 24
years at Westmont, completed her
final official duty by handing stu-
dent awards to J.J. Turbin, Kristin Lo,
Lillian Yamese and Daniel Gee.
Turbin and Candice Adema, who
was unable to attend, earned the
Deans Award as outstanding gradu-
ates whove demonstrated excellence
in the classroom and made superi-
or contributions to an athletic team.
Turbin, who earned All-Golden State
Athletic Conference honors playing
center field for the Warriors baseball
team, graduated with a degree in com-
munication studies. Adema, who was
named to the All-GSAC volleyball
team, graduated with a 3.76 GPA in
economics and business.
Lo, who served as Westmont College
Student Association president, earned
the Dave Dolan Award for contribut-
ing to the awareness and response to
the social and spiritual needs of the
community, the nation and the world.
Higa gave Yamase and Gee the
Kenneth Monroe Award for their
superior academic achievement in the
classroom and as leaders on campus.
Gee also won the Faculty Scholarship
Award for the student with the best
academic performance: 4.0 GPA.
The college announced the cre-
ation of the Jane Higa Academic and
Co-Curricular Partnership Award,

ulty or staff member who continues
the productive working relationship
between faculty and student life staff
that Higa has cultivated over the
years.
Provost Mark Sargent announced

ematics, as the new Kathleen Smith

sciences. Howell, who has been teach-
ing at Westmont for 35 years, co-

Historical Handel and Haydn Society
One of Americas most historical
groups, The Handel and Haydn Society
from Boston, thoroughly entertained
with a delightful Baroque concert at
UCSBs Campbell Hall, their Santa
Barbara debut.
Founded in 1815 the year of the Battle
of Waterloo when the Duke of Wellington
vanquished Napoleon Bonaparte the
revered period instrument orchestra pre-
miered Handels Messiah, as well as Bachs
St. Matthew Passion, Verdis Requiem
and Haydns The Creation, in the U.S.
The Grammy-winning musicians, led
by Canadian concertmaster Aisslinn
Nosky who also appears regularly with
the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra , per-
formed an exquisite Italian-inspired pro-
gram with works by Locatelli, Corelli,
Avison and Geminiani, completing the
show with all of Vivaldis 1723 work, The
Four Seasons.
The concert, part of the UCSB Arts
& Lectures program, was an absolute
cracker...
Welcome Back, Ariana
After a years break to start a family,
Ariana Nobel got a surprise welcome
back as general manager of the Santa
Barbara Polo Club when the 102nd sea-
son kicked off at the weekend.
During the awards ceremony between
the two main matches, Ariana was fes-
tooned with flowers by friends and offi-
cials, including polo manager Melanja
Jones and veteran announcer Andy
Smith.
It came as a complete surprise,
laughed Ariana, who replaces Bob Puetz,
who has moved to the San Diego Polo
Club.
Given the decidedly blustery weather,
the Kentucky Derby hat contest, which I
was scheduled to judge, was postponed to
this coming Sunday, Mothers Day.
Most of the hats, given the strong
winds, would have ended up in Camarillo
if wed gone ahead! I quipped...
Barre Raised at The Pan
Raise the Barre, a benefit for the Arts
Mentorship Program Performing Arts
Center was thrown at Gene Montesanos
eatery, The Pan.
Monies raised will go towards the
new 8,900-sq-ft East Cota Street head-
quarters for Santa Barbara Dance Arts,
founded in 1997 by Alana Tillim and
Steven Lovelace, who established the
Arts Mentorship Program to grant
rent subsidies for emerging arts groups
and dance scholarships to low-income
youth.
The program has received more than
$150,000 in construction grants, and so
far $330,000 has been raised in the last
three months towards the $500,000 total
cost.
The group, which serves more than
600 dance students and 8,000 residents
annually, hopes to move to its new space
by October...

Another Year in Which to Excel
Ernies World
by Ernie Witham
Dont you procrastinate! Sign up to join Ernie at the 2013 Santa Barbara Writers
Conference. Only a few spots left! Go to www.sbwriters.com
O
h man, its only one month
until the annual Santa Barbara
Writers Conference and I
havent finished my screenplay... or
my novel... or my memoir!
Every year I leave the conference
full of spit and vinegar. The spit from
sitting too close to dozens of overly
excited, emotional workshop attend-
ees reciting from their tomes of astute
observation, and the vinegar from
the closing nights dinner salad that
somehow always ends up in my lap.
So, dripping with inspiration, I race
home, open up the files from my in-
progress-since-Ross Perot-ran-for-
president screenplay... novel... mem-
oir... and type until my fingers swell
up like hairy bratwursts. Then I have
a few beers, go to bed, and wake up
in May.
I have been repeating this pattern for
more than 20 years. But its not real-
ly my fault. Things happen. Several
times over the decades I started new
jobs and found out much to my cha-
grin that the companies that hired me
expected me to show up every day
well before noon and expected me to
work on their stuff instead of my own.
At one point, I decided to start my
own business based on the when-Im-
in-the-mood workweek, but I found
out more to my chagrin that my clients
expected me to complete things on
an actual deadline and expected me
to work on their stuff rather than my
own. So finally, in desperation, I took
some time off to work on my own
stuff. The hours were much better, the
lunch breaks much longer, and the
work attire much more relaxed. And
though I did finish and publish my
second humor collection, I found out
again to my chagrin that I dont pay
diddlysquat. And that my retirement
account including all the money I
saved from my paper route back in the
sixties would only last about eleven
days or so. Thats when I reentered the
work force, which has kept the guys
with the bent noses from calling late at
night, but has once again stymied my
long-term writing goals.
But last year I told myself this was
it. I set my alarm clock for mid-Janu-
ary, jotted down some initial goals like
stay focused, write 1000 words every
day, and put the word procrastination
into the obsolete file. Hm, did I have
an obsolete file? Maybe I should cre-
ate an obsolete file. You never know
when you might need one, like now
when I needed to throw the word
procrastination into it.
I put that on hold and got back on
track. I warmed up my computer,
cleaned off my desk, and took all the
old taco chip bags and beer cans out
of my office. Probably should recycle
those beer cans, could be worth some
serious coin. Maybe I could double
my retirement fund.
I opened up my screenplay file.
Probably should do a quick read
through of what I already have...
Bones of Contention by Ernie
Witham
FADE IN
EXT. NIGHT, STORMY
We open on a dark and stormy
night.
CHARACTER ONE
Its dark.
CHARACTER TWO
And stormy.
Wow thats pretty good! Wonder if
my novel is in that good of shape? I
opened the file and began reading.
Money to Burn by Ernie Witham
The rain fell harder now, making
the dark night even darker.
Not bad! I should have no trouble
flushing that out. If my memoir is in
that good of shape, I might be able to
take a little snooze before I get down
to work. I clicked on the memoir file.
Where am I now? By Ernie Witham
I remember standing there think-
ing how dark it was and how stormy.
Amazing! I guess I had done a lot
more over the years than I remem-
bered. And its only January. I still
have months to go. This is going to be
the year. I can just hear all the acco-
lades now.... Yawn...
ERNIE. ERNIE. ERNIE.
Hey, Ernie.
Huh? What? Oh hi Dear. Whats
up?
Were all heading down to the
swimming pool, wanted to know if
you want to come.
The swimming pool? In January?
My wife handed me the calendar.
May! No way!
So, thats why its only one month
until the annual Santa Barbara Writers
Conference and I havent finished
my screenplay... or my novel... or my
memoir...
Next year, man. Next year. MJ
You never know when you
might need an obsolete file, like
now when I needed to throw the
word procrastination into it

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

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

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR
THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA
WILDLAND FIRE SUPPRESSION ASSESSMENT FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2013-14

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of
Santa Barbara will conduct a Public Hearing on Tuesday, May
21, 2013, during the afternoon session of the meeting which
begins at 2:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber, City Hall, 735
Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara. The hearing is to consider
renewal of the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District
and the levying and collection of assessments to fund the cost
of wildland fire suppression services within the District for Fiscal
Year 2013-14.

On May 7, 2013, the City Council adopted a Resolution of
Intention, No. 13-028, declaring its intention to hold this hearing
(hereinafter referred to as the "Assessment Hearing") and to
consider renewal of the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment
District. All interested or affected property owners will be
afforded the opportunity to be heard by the City Council at the
Assessment Hearing. Written comments are also welcome up
to the time of the hearing, and should be addressed to the City
Council via the City Clerks Office, P.O. Box 1990, Santa
Barbara, CA 93102-1990.

The total cost of the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment
District is estimated to be $245,287 for Fiscal Year 2013-14.
This cost results in a proposed assessment rate of $75.14 per
single-family equivalent benefit unit in the Foothill Zone and
$93.17 in the Extreme Foothill Zone for Fiscal Year 2013-14.
Parcels located within the assessment area are assessed
based upon their receipt of special benefits from the services
over and above general benefits conferred on real property or
to the public at large. The Assessments include a provision for
an annual increase equal to the change in the Los Angeles-
Riverside-Orange County Area Consumer Price Index (CPI),
not to exceed 4% per year without a further vote or balloting
process. The total allowable CPI adjustment for 2013-14 is
1.93% and the rates have been adjusted, accordingly.

An Engineer's Report for the Wildland Fire Suppression
Assessment District has been prepared and was preliminarily
approved by the City Council on May 7, 2013. The Council will
consider final approval of the report during the Assessment
Hearing. The report is available for review in the City Clerk's
Office, City Hall, 735 Anacapa Street, and at the City of Santa
Barbara Fire Department located at 925 De La Vina Street.

On Thursday, May 16, 2013, an Agenda with all items to be
heard on Tuesday, May 21, 2013, will be available at 735
Anacapa Street and at the Central Library. Agendas and Staff

Memorial Gardens, the crown jewel of
the city park system, which offers unique
botanical and horticultural elements in
an exquisite urban retreat; Casa del
Herrero, a National Historic Landmark

few remaining as originally designed
during the Golden Age of American
Gardens (1895-1940); and Ganna
Walska Lotusland, the world-renowned
37-acre botanical estate right here in
Montecito that boasts rare subtropical and
tropical plants from around the world.

UCSB Opera Fans of well-known
comedic operas particularly the kind
where clever deception is used to outwit
powerful relatives and benefactors get
another chance to revisit an old favorite
this weekend. Just two weeks after Opera
Santa Barbara put on a very well-executed
production of Donizettis Don Pasquale
and two years since the Music Academy
of the West mounted a marvelously
madcap and musical version of Barber
of Seville, Rossinis romantic romp gets
another go-round with college students as
UCSBs Dept. of Music takes on Barber.
Christopher Roundtree conducts
the student orchestra on the score flled
with operatic hits that begin with the
tuneful overture and never let up, while
Benjamin Brecher who has performed
in more than 50 operatic roles and sung
with a similar number of symphonies
stage directs the young artists in what has
become perhaps the greatest comic opera
of them all. WHEN: 8pm tonight, 3pm

Song Tree sounds Berkley-Hart,
the singer-songwriter duo comprised
of Kerrville New Folk Songwriter
Award winner Jeff Berkley and
wiley wordsmith Calman Hart,
stand out from the acoustic music
crowd and its quite a crowded
feld these days, isnt it? via a solid
dose of humor. The San Diego-based
duo has got plenty of chops and
knows how to produce poignancy
when necessary, but just the title of the debut album alone gives you a clue to their
lighthearted approach: Wreck n Sow. Berkley-Hart play some of the biggest venues
on the folk circuit, but they still have room for coffeehouse gigs. Hence their return
to the acoustic space at the Song Tree series out at the Live Oak church in Goleta.

Freak folk fies It was the publication
Pitchfork that greeted Devendra
Banharts debut by proclaiming it the
sign of someone destined for great,
strange things, which was accurate
on both counts. The seven albums the
former art institute student (shades of
David Byrne?) released between 2002-
07 were enigmatic wonders, marked by
idiosyncratic arrangements of shimmering
beauty and smoldering sensuality,
surrealistic lyrics that often suggested
spiritual calling, as well as occasionally
odd and incomprehensible swirling and
unsettling sounds. What Will We Be,
the Venezuela-via-Los Angeles singer-
songwriters 2009 major label debut,
offered much more commercial appeal
(although the genre hopping through such
areas as Tropicalia and soft disco didnt
help keep Banhart at Warner Brothers)
and even garnered him a Grammy nod for
creating his own artwork and packaging.
That was also the year Banhart showed up
at SOhO for a gorgeous gig to a sold-out
club. Now, the follow-up, Mala, just out
on Nonesuch Records, is a more cohesive
collection that channels his scattered
energy into more singular directions.

Korbs salad days There are a million
jazz artists out there, and thousands of
bassists. But very few can say they studied
with the great Ray Brown, the legendary
stand-up bassist whose career spanned from
Dizzy Gillespie through Oscar Peterson,
Frank Sinatra and the Modern Jazz Quartet.
Kristin Korb, who made her frst album
under the aegis of Brown, has a similarly
swinging style but adds a vocal style that
recalls Ella and Sarah Vaughan. Whats Your
Story, Korbs new album, released just last
month, comprises a dozen mostly cover songs
that purports to celebrate her own path from
a Montana schoolgirl to her current status
as the Denmark-based president-elect of the
International Society of Bassists. With Jazz
at the Lobero done for the calendar year, Korbs trio featuring Bruce Forman on

The drone dilemma Remember when
the word drone signifed either a male
bee or a boring speaker? These days, of
course, drones the unmanned, remote-
guided aircraft kind are all over the
news as the latest development in war
plane technology, used for spying and all
sorts of targeted attacks. (It was a missile
fred from a drone in 2011 that killed the
two radical Islamist leaders in Yemen who
purportedly infuenced the Boston Marathon
bombers). Ever timely, UCSB is bringing
three academic experts to town tonight
for the 9th annual Arthur N. Rupe Great
Debate, Drone Warfare: Prospects and
Dangers, as part of the Interdisciplinary
Humanities Centers ongoing series
Fallout: In the Aftermath of War. Veteran newsman Jeff Greenfeld the former
correspondent, analyst and anchor for CBS, ABC and CNN who now serves as
a Yahoo! News columnist and anchor of PBS Need to Know will moderate the
debate among leading thinkers David Cole (professor at Georgetown University
Law Center and author of Enemy Aliens: Double Standards and Constitutional
Freedoms in the War on Terrorism), Mary Ellen OConnell (the Robert and Marion
Short Chair in Law at University of Notre Dame and an expert on the international
law of armed confict) and Avery Plaw (an associate professor of political science
at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and author of Targeting Terrorists: a
License to Kill?). The three will discuss the use of armed drones in taking out enemy
personnel some estimate that U.S. strikes have resulted in as many as 4,400 deaths
under the Bush and Obama administrations and the increasing use of the aircraft
as weapons. While proponents say that drone warfare keeps pilots safe from harm,
and that drones deliver their munitions with greater accuracy and allow penetration
into otherwise inaccessible and perilous terrain, opponents argue that the use of
militarized drones dangerously changes the face of war and redefnes the meaning
of armed confict, and that their use constitutes an illegal act. Expect freworks
hopefully only the verbal kind. WHEN: 8pm WHERE: UCSB Campbell Hall COST:

Call For A Private Showing
EnTERTAInMEnT (Continued from page 33)
pretty far-fetched to most people. How do
you respond to skeptics?
A. I dont expect others to believe or
take it at my word that it happened...
Theres no way to understand it unless
youve experienced it. But I know I
had an extraordinary experience that
changed my life. Im fairly grounded
and rational, but I saw people and I
heard them in the room. It literally
filled with entities, family members,
neighbors and friends of my moms,
coming and hanging out to help her
crossover. They showed me pictures
of places, like people holding up cards
trying to get me to guess who they
were. I even had conversations with
some of them, and I wrote those down.
Ive had experiences like this since
I was fifteen when I worked at the
Big Yellow House in the wine cellar.
I started seeing family members who
had died before I knew who they
were, and when I did some research
and found living family members they
confirmed what I was seeing as being
accurate. So that helped me realize I
wasnt completely nuts. But before my
mom, these were all strangers. This
was completely different.
It sounds a bit scary.
I can see why someone could per-
ceive it that way, but it wasnt at all. It
was very comforting and exciting and
joyful at the same time. And it made
me realize that when we go out, its
not alone. I set up conflict within the
play to make it work, and it doesnt
tell you what to think. Everybody
finds comfort from their own spiritu-
ally based beliefs.
The play confronts our relationship
with death in general though, right?
In this culture, we hardly talk about
death at all. But there are some that
are much more enlightened. They
have enormous celebratory festivals
to mark someone moving on. I think
its no less powerful than birth. When
people have babies there are cigars,
and parties and showers. To me, going
out is nothing short of a rebirth that
should be celebrated. If people knew
what I experienced, and realized what
was going on, on a simultaneous
plane, it would be more joyous.
How has the work changed in the new
version?
The material was informed by
watching the show in front of audi-
ence, and realizing what they didnt
quite understand and needed more
information. So I added to scenes that
describe what the experience was like
and how to interpret it. I also asked
my mom: Whats missing here? What
did I leave out? She gave me some
really specific answers that are now in
the show.
How was it to cast (Montecito actress)
Ann Dusenberry to play your mom?
Its goosebump city. She looks a
lot like my mom, and she has totally
nailed her in the production even
though she never met her. She really
has captured my moms essence and
personality. Part of the joy of doing
the show was to give my mom a voice
at a time in her life when she didnt
have one. She lost her independence,
and ability to be articulate. So this is
like the best Mothers Day gift I could
give her.

Montecito
at the Movies
The 30th anniversary celebration
of Cheers slated for UCSBs Pollock
Theater Saturday night was scheduled
long before the Marathon Bombing
made all things having to do with
Boston a little more poignant. But this
was already a very rare and enticing
event, as its the first time the cre-
ators of the show Glen Charles, Les
Charles and James Burrows, who all
spend some of their time in Montecito
are appearing in public locally to
talk about one of the best-loved sit-
coms of all time.
The original 1982 Cheers pilot will
be screened, followed by discus-
sion moderated by longtime Cheers
writer-producer Cheri Steinkellner,
who also lives here in the village
(and who is very active in local the-
ater and more). Favorite scenes will
be screened and the creative process
dissected, and actor George Wendt,
who played Norm, will also be on
hand.
After the Q&A, a Cheers Bar-themed
reception takes over the Michael
Douglas lobby at the theater, where
the principals will mingle for more
casual conversation and a few
brews. Tickets for the 7:30pm event
are just $20 general, $10 students.

Farewell to the Cameratas Irish
Fiddling Virtuoso
When Camerata Pacificas cur-
rent season comes to a close with
next weekends series of concert, the
chamber music ensemble will also
say goodbye to Catherine Leonard,
the Irish violinist who has been a
core musician for the better part of a
decade.
We caught up with Leonard late last
week at her Montecito cottage for a
few words before the tenure comes to
a close.
Q. How did the decision to leave CP
come about?
A. It wasnt something I was pon-
dering for a long time. It just came
to me. Ive been living half my life
in Dublin and half here for several
years and I woke up one day and
realized I didnt want to continue
this double life. I wanted to be nor-
mal: have an actual life and friends
and family back home. Ive been in
love with Santa Barbara since I came
here for the first time ten years ago.
Ill miss a lot of things, not in the
least the weather. So it wasnt an
easy decision. But I found that clar-
ity that day back in February that
I wanted to be closer to home and
make a life there.
How would you characterize your time
here, in just a few words?
Privileged. Artistically fulfilling.
Just paradise. Gosh, I dont know.
It was the ideal time in my life to
have a position like that and it was
quite a journey artistically and per-
sonally. It was pretty great. Above all,
though, are the people, so many [of
the patrons] are like family to me. Ill
maintain those relationships and the
ones with my colleagues. Ill take a
piece of Santa Barbara away with me
in my heart.
Looking back over your tenure with
Camerata, what stands out the most musi-
cally?
There are so many. Its hard to pick.
We only did one tour, but it was a
major one. I played that fiendishly
difficult piece commissioned by the
Jansens, the Messenger concerto by
Ian Wilson... Also in December 2011,
Luci Jansen had discovered a piece
called Lotus Land by [Johannes]
Kriedler, my favorite violin composer.
Id played so many of his works but I
didnt know that one. Its really exotic
and beautiful three-minute piece that I
found enrapturing. And since shes on
the board at Lotusland she arranged
to have us play up there in the garden

where (pianist) Adam Neiman and
myself played fifteen Kriedler pieces,
very old school and lush music, which
I just adore.
But mostly, working with [violist]
Richard [Yongjae ONeill] and [cel-
list] Ani [Aznavoorian] will be a very
hard act to follow. We really worked
hard, especially during the early years,
to come together, and it was such
a luxury that Camerata afforded us
that time to rehearse. That flavor, that
result is audible now. Weve devel-
oped such an intuitive sense together
we hardly need to rehearse now. That
will be hard to replicate. Ill miss that
intimacy at least until I have my own
group again.
Anything you would have done differ-
ently?
It was just perfect. And its com-
ing to a natural end for me. But is so
unusual not to have a change in [core]
personnel in an ensemble for so long.
Maybe its about time for it to hap-
pen. The group will have fresh blood,
which is always exciting.
What about for you? Whats on the
horizon?
Ill keep doing concerts in Dublin,
and be working on forming and
developing a few new projects. With
my piano partner there, Ill hopefully
get a chamber music festival going
in the fall. And were doing all the
Beethoven violin and piano sonatas,
and looking forward to finally doing
them all together in a series. Then
after that, all the Brahms. There are
lots of projects in mind.
But frankly its nice not having a
locked in performance position so
I can have the freedom and time to
pursue other passions outside of play-
ing: languages, art history, things Ive
talked about doing for years. And I
have a residency for eight weeks in
Paris at the end of the year, so Ill
delve into Ravel chamber music. It
just came about after I resigned and
I would have had to turn it down (if
I hadnt left Camerata). So its funny
how things turn out it felt like it was
meant to be.
Can we talk about the final concert?
Youll be playing another work by the
Irish composer Wilson.
Im delighted. Musical, but none of
the harrowing, angst-ridden war-torn
things that so divided people with
the Messenger. Im just learning the
Bax Oboe quintet. It sounds luscious
and romantic, and the last movement
sounds like an Irish jig.
Any idea how youll feel when you play
the final note of the Dvorak Quintet, the
final piece at the final concert?
You know, I felt last month was
so poignant, because it was the
last time playing with just Ani and
Richard as a trio, and even though
we didnt talk about it, it felt more
special then. This month will be a
bigger group, all of us there and
in party mode. Its bittersweet, but
Im in a good place and going on to
good things. So Ill probably have
a couple glasses of champagne and
just celebrate with my friends in the
ensemble.
