by Bob Hazard
Water Rationing in Montecito-Summerland
fter seven special board meetings of the Montecito Water District (MWD), the five directors Jan Abel, Sam Frye, Doug Morgan, Dick Shaikewitz, and president Darlene Bierig unanimously approved a declaration of emergency water shortage (Ordinance 92) on February 11, mandating no new water connections, plus new restrictions on pools, hosing of hard surfaces, home car washes, restricted irrigation hours, hotels and restaurant use, and correction of leaks, plus fines of up to $1,000 for repeated violations. This was followed on February 21 by the passage of an even more stringent water-rationing plan (Ordinance 93) for single-family residential users, commercial businesses from the Biltmore to the corner bakery, institutions from the Santa Barbara Cemetery to Birnam Wood Golf Club, along with apartments, condos, farmers, lemon ranchers, and orchid growers. Excess-use infractions, but not fines, for exceeding usage of water beyond a rationing quota start in March; financial penalties for excessive use start in April.
MWD Board Performance
The board did its job some suggest belatedly but once the state water allocation for 2014 was canceled, the MWD Board proceeded with a proper sense of urgency. There was no working model for a rationing system that saw Montecitos demand in the 2013-14 water year soar to nearly 7,000 acre feet (AF), while supply fell to 5,300 AF of water. If dry weather conditions continue, if new supplemental supplies cannot be purchased, and if water consumption remains at 2013 levels, both Montecito and Summerland will run out of water by July. The intention is to cut usage by 30% over the next seven months before the beginning of the new water year on October 1, 2014. The boards job is temporarily over and now our job as customers begins. As local well contributions to the water mix continue to decline, as local reservoirs dry up and fill with silt, as water becomes more difficult to purchase at any price, the painful task of mandatory rationing begins with its unknown inequities.
Community Perception
There is precious little sympathy in the greater Santa Barbara community for Montecitos predicament. The lushly landscaped estates, surrounded by stone walls, gardens, hedges, and greenery, have defined Montecito for the last 100 years but are now seen as non-essential to many.
Stormy Weather
Peace of
Building
In one of the great ironies of water rationing, March Meter Madness may kick off with a two-inch downpour of rain this weekend. The good news is that every bit of new water helps. The bad news is that rainfall since last July 1 has equaled 1.79 compared to 8.29 the year before, and a norm of 12.33. Therefore, even 2 of rain would only bring rainfall from last July to 31% of a normal year. Even if we do enjoy significant rainfall in the coming days, dont look for an easing of ration allotments anytime soon. All the added rainwater is needed to increase the carryover of water into the next water year. Without carryover water in October from significant rainfall during the rest of this year, Montecito-Summerland faces a 50% reduction in available water for rationing in the 2014-15 year.
Mind
Plan for Single-Family Residences
Step 1 Take a close look at your last 12 months of water bills. If your past monthly usage has been in the range of 25 to 35 units (HCF), your rationing plan will be relatively modest. Those using 35 to 50 HCF per month could be in trouble, and if your use is more than 50 HCF per month, you should probably worry. Study your notification from MWD defining your specific water allocation per month compared to last years monthly usage. Prepare a gap analysis plan to bring your ration allocation and your use together, not just for March, but for every month through October. Step 2 Find your water meter; it should be curbside. Sounds easy, unless you are a widow living alone, a part-time resident, or a resident of Riven Rock or Bonnymede with a single community meter. Step 3 Turn off all irrigation or landscape water on or before March 1 for a one-week period. If you have an automated water management

V talk show titan Oprah Winfrey is renowned for her generosity to a myriad of causes but this time, the media mogul is spreading the wealth a little closer to home. Montecitos most famous resident has bought her long-lost, half-sister Patricia Lofton a $500,000 home in Wisconsin and given her a monthly allowance so she can quit her job to go back to college and realize her dream of being a social worker. Oprah, 60, introduced her half-sister to the world on her talk show in 2011 after first learning of her existence the year before. The billionaire has bought Patricia, who has a grown son and daughter, a four-bedroom, three-bathroom property, according to RadarOnline. A spokeswoman for Oprah, who is

The Bright Side Of Drought

ast week, I made a trip up to Cachuma Lake and walked out to the docks. This was a walk of about 200 yards down the steps and over the lake bottom to the docks. This walk brought back memories of when I was on the Grand Jury in 2005; one of the issues we examined was the silting of the countys dams. Most specifically Twichell, Juncal, and Gibraltar. With the historic drought upon us, it seems to be a very good time to clean out our dams and increase their collective capacity to hold much more water for when the rains return. This would be a very ambitious project. With Governor Jerry Brown offering millions in drought mitigation funds, our board of supervisors would be the body to request a grant for this effort. I know there are environmental questions, engineering issues, transportation issues, and so on. We do not have a lot of time. If we are going to take advantage of this situation, we need to all pull together and Just Do It. I would much
rather have $100-acre-feet of water than $2,000-acre-feet. As a side note, the amount of sand that might be removed may be more valuable than the cost of its removal.

The last time we experienced a drought in the 1980s, the government agencies and a few local power brokers decided to fight every possible solution. They armed the H2O Gestapo, the trolling water police, with reams of tickets to give to homeowners who at their own expense purchased water to keep their landscapes green and homes safe from fire. They fought water solutions like desal, state water, reclamation, and it took an election and the hard work of the few at We Want Water to turn it around. They used the media to show faucets with people dripping out, as obviously with adequate water comes more people. Somehow, I thought it was sex that makes babies, not water. I digress. I cant believe that the aquifers under Birnam Wood and other hidden water sources have instantly disappeared, as implied in the recent moratorium. Mr. Nesbitt had it correct (Village Beat MJ # 20/7) when he said the water board and the water agency are not doing their jobs and threatening not only the homes and families but the verdant ecosystem, wild animals, businesses, and history of this beautiful area. This is true for all the water agencies throughout Santa Barbara County. There is intelligence, financing, and the need to solve this, once and for all. In the last drought, we brought a desal barge and its captain to the Santa Barbara harbor, and he could have solved the problems at that time. No one wanted to listen, and he left to help others in need. He or any of his profession can come in, refill the aquifers, and other storage areas. A private company can truck filtered water to the foothills, and build a vibrant green belt to reduce encroaching fires. This is done in developing countries. Why cant Santa Barbara be a symbol of a free-market solution a private enterprise that creates a vibrant green environment with ample water for all? The only thing that could stop this evolution are people whose creativity and will for all to survive safely has dried up. Open the floodgates to a water solution and become an example to restoring life from the ground up. Gillian Christie
Wash your vehicle without water. The current nighttime hours foster deposits of moisture-laden film all over the vehicles. In the morning before leaving home for the day, simply wipe down your mode of transportation with an old cloth towel, chamois, or paper towels. Voila! Clean vehicle and no water usage. Do your part re the current drought. Frances Paresa Santa Barbara
Turn OFF The Sprinklers!
Everyone turn off and keep off your landscape watering timers by Tuesday or Wednesday if possible, and keep them off for two weeks after the last of the upcoming rains predicted! This way, Montecito will save water, which will be critical for later in the year! Mike Clark Montecito Water District
Water Supply Versus Demand
Thanks to Bob Hazard for the excellent summary piece on the water crisis in Montecito (Drought Defense, MJ #20/7).It does a great job of presenting important facts associated with both supply and demand. As the Montecito Water Board moves our community into active management of the crisis, what I believe needs a bit more focus is that the shortage we are experiencing now is not the result of unforeseeable events. Its not nature running amok.We cant blame climate change (at least not yet).We are where we are because water use in the district has not been kept within what are reasonably predictable ranges of supply. Probably the best evidence of this claim is the fact that the districts primary supply reservoir (Cachuma Lake) was full and actively spilling less than three years ago.That goes to the heart of the problem.Weve run through our supply in less time than the duration of a normal Santa Barbara drought cycle. Thats a pretty good description of unsustainable use. More than any of the other water districts along the South Coast, Montecito is dependent upon surface water.The district has very limited groundwater resources. Surface water comes from runoff 27 February 6 March 2014
MONTECITO JOURNAL

and substantial runoff only occurs in wet years.An average rainfall year generally does not produce much runoff.Whats required to put useful quantities of water in our reservoirs are those protracted wet periods where we get multiple storms in sequence.When those events occur, our watersheds generate significant runoff. That means our storage reservoirs have to be large.They need to have available capacity when the big runoff events happen, and then they need to store that water for multiple years.That stored water is our bank account.We have to withdraw from it carefully and with the expectation that it will not be replenished for years at a stretch. For our climate, drought cycles of 5 to 7 years are common.That is well documented.Daily rainfall records for Santa Barbara exist back to 1867.Those records show multiple dry periods that are notably longer than the one we are experiencing now.So while the current drought is exceptional in its intensity, it is not at all out of the ordinary in termsof duration.Furthermore, since we know that it takes a wetter-than-average year to produce runoff, the intensity of our current drought doesnt really figure into the problem at least on the supply side.The droughts intensity certainly does figure in on the demandside, and thats where tighter management is required. This is not news to the Montecito Water Board.Nor is the fact that our state water allocation has always been at risk during drought. That was clear from the outset, when the issue was being debated. We now, unfortunately, have proof of the claim made by those who did not want to adopt state water that it would not be available when we need it most. What this all means is that the true sustainable water yield from district sources is actually quite a bit lower than the 6,500 acre feet per year that Mr. Hazard lists for a years of near normal rainfall.Going forward, we will need to adjust our water consumption to more closely match what events have taught us will actually be the available supply.I salute the board, general manager Tom Mosby, and district staff for tackling this difficult issue head on. Mike Wilson Montecito
The huffing and puffing over the bogey-word Socialism in the Montecito Journal by Rooster Bradford (Hitler Was A Socialist, MJ #20/7) made me think of three things: 1) The Allies welcoming Stalin into the fold; 2) The refusal of the Allied Powers to admit Stalin was worse than Hitler.As the legendary Professor Norman Davies states in a 1/7/14haaretz.com article:In America, they created the American style the good war for democracy, freedom ... If you accept that scenario, you miss the biggest part of World War II, the Soviet Union. It was not a good democratic freedom-loving [country], but a mass-murdering dictatorship tyranny.You have to exclusively [discuss] Nazi crimes. And please dont mention anything else. 3) In the 2012 presidential election season when Mitt Romney condemns Socialism. Then he hops in an airplane and visits three Socialist countries: England, Israel, and Poland. Matt McLaughlin Santa Barbara Last May, Joanne Calitri wrote an article about the Annual Spring Festival Concert at the Music Academy of the West (Our Town, MJ #19/18),and included some very nice words about my son Henry.Thank you for doing that.I have an update on his musical progress shown in the excerpt below from the Santa Barbara Unified School District eNews bulletin: Santa Barbara Junior High Student Headed for All-State Jazz Band Congratulations to Santa Barbara Junior High music student Henry Urschel for being chosen to participate in the California All-State Junior High Jazz Band. Henry had to send in an audition recording and was chosen to be one of only two alto saxophone players in the band. Henry was selected from over 1,700 applicants from some of the most outstanding musicians throughout the state. He is also the only seventh grader chosen to participate in the band. Henry will be performing with the All-State Jazz Band on February 21, 2014, at the California All State Music Educators Conference in Fresno representing Santa Barbara Junior High and our school district. Congratulations, Henry! Henrys music teacher at Santa Barbara Junior High is Karen Dutton.

iane Pannkuk and Dana Newquist have been the faces (and the personalities) associated with the Montecito Associations Village Fourth Parade & Celebration for so long since the very first one that took place in July 1996 it almost seems natural that these two would simply continue coordinating the parade and its concomitant events until well, until the end of time. Unfortunately, for Diane, Dana, the Montecito Association and residents of Montecito, the end of time has arrived. The pair have jointly announced that this years 19th annual Fourth of July celebration will be their last as heads of the committees assigned to put it on. They are looking for their replacements. And they need those replacements to come forward now. During a half-hour conversation in the Montecito Association office at the library building on East Valley Road, Ms Pannkuk and Mr. Newquist reminisced about that first parade. I had the idea, Diane begins, and I went to the Montecito Association, thinking they did things like this, and I said, I have a great idea for you. At the time, Diane was a member of the Association but other than paying her yearly dues, knew nothing about the group. She eventually became president of the Association for a two-year stint, was a vice-president for eight years, and a member of its board of directors for many more. Bob Meghreblian, the MAs president at the time, sounded enthusiastic when she first broached the subject. He thought it was a great idea, Diane who almost immediately became the newest member of the Board of Directors recalls. They had a vacancy and I was named his replacement, she laughs. She was then advised to Go on out and do it. Diane was also informed that the Association had no money to put on such an event and that she would have to raise the money herself. So, she put an ad in Montecito Journal a flyer seeking to entice people whod be interested to come to a meeting and from those who responded she put together her committee in January of 96. Among those that responded, or were later rounded up, included architect John Watson, who served as co-chair for the first five years, John Venable, Jonathan Winters, Laura Motley, Susan Jackson, and Julie Teufel. Diane paid for all the MJ ads with personal checks and put up much of the rest of the upfront money. She

also begged, cajoled, and pleaded successfully for donations. The total cost then was about $10,000; it costs $19,000 to do now. That first parade began more or less on time, headed up by Parade Marshal (and former U.S. Marine) Jonathan Winters, attired in a fulldress U.S. Marine outfit, replete with ceremonial sword. It began at Upper Manning Park (as it still does), and headed down School House Road to the Montecito Union School parking lot (a distance of perhaps 100 yards), continued through the parking lot, crossing San Ysidro Road, down Santa Rosa, and left into Lower Manning. It may have qualified for the Guinness Book of World Records as the worlds shortest parade if anyone had had the foresight to claim it as such. Dana volunteered to take care of the parade portion and brought up the rear with a load of MUS youngsters in the back of his antique fire truck. The whole idea was for it to be a local community get-together, Diane says. I cannot begin to tell you the fear I had, that day, in Lower Manning Park, at seven oclock in the morning, wondering and hoping that people came. She says she never saw the parade for the first ten years; she was always in Lower Manning preparing for the celebration down in the park. As for Dana, his main goal was getting entrants to the parade and then making sure his truck ran. I was very nervous and wanted a nice parade, Dana says. My idea of nice, he continues, was somewhere between thirty and forty entrants. In order to manage that, I had to be the last to go. One of the ways he found entries was by cherry picking some of the

he mixed-use project being constructed on the corner of Coast Village Road and Coast Village Circle has seen significant progress in the last few months; it is expected to be finished by the end of summer, according to the developments owner, Alberto Valner. The project, which sits on the former home of Turk Hessellund Nursery, will include two townhome-style residential units, a 42-seat restaurant, commercial office and retail space, and a 40-space underground parking garage.
Mr. Valner spoke with us earlier this week regarding the project; he says he is looking forward to the end of the summer, when the building, designed by architect Brian Cearnal, will be complete. The project was approved in February 2012, and garnered praise from the Santa Barbara City Planning Commission for its low-key scale.

anta Barbara Cottage Hospital Foundations Tiara Ball is certainly one of the most elegant events of the year and this was no exception. The entire Bacara ballroom walls were draped in red velvet. The tablecloths were black sequins, and to add to the art deco were unusual centerpieces of lit-glass cylinders filled with water and immersed white lilies. Napkins and goblets were of ruby red. Behind the large band was a backdrop of the sky and a full moon to pick up the Moonlight Serenade theme. Trs elegant! The crowd was equally elegant with the gentlemen in tuxes, and the ladies in long gowns and tiaras. Event chair Betsy Turner told the crowd, I was born at that other hospital (St. Francis) and this is the largest attendance to date (over 500). The evening, which raised more than $520,000, benefits Critical Care Services at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Board chair Bob Nourse explained, There are 3,500 employees in the

Many of us in the community, even though were not Catholic, remember the remarkable Father Virgil who touched so many of our lives with his ecumenical ways. The non-profit LifeChronicles honors his memory by giving a benefit dinner where a couple is awarded the Father Virgil Remarkable Life Award. The second annual award has gone to Sue and Ed Birch. Last year, the honorees were Betty and Stan Hatch. The honorary host committee for the gala includes: Keith C. Berry, Larry Crandell, Christine and Robert Emmons, Pete and Gerd Jordano, George Leis, Tom Parker, Father Charles Talley, Anne and Michael Towbes, Lady Leslie Ridley-Tree, Judi Weisbart and Randy Weiss. Preceding the dinner event date there was a separate V.I.P. reception
hosted by Union Bank on the Riviera Deck third floor of their building at 1021 Anacapa. I had never been there, and we were treated to a lovely rooftop view of Santa Barbara, including the lit-up courthouse tower. There was wine, tapas, mingling and guitar music by Michael Holland before the program. All of this arranged by George Leis, Randy Weiss and Kimberly Hardy of Union Bank, and Judi Weisbart and Mary Deloe with LifeChronicles. Catherine Ramack was the emcee and opened by telling how LifeChronicles had videoed her mom before she died, capturing her life on tape and creating memories that would last forever for her family. Thats what LifeChronicles does, and as Founder Kate Carter told me, In the last 15 years we have created 1,100 videos in 215 cities across the United States, with four in Canada and two in the United Kingdom. Sony is now partnering with us, and we are creating a certification program whereby hospices can train to do their own. There is also a doctor who is going to quantify the therapeutic value of the programs. Although in our hearts, we already know the answer hell find.

Unable to cope, Lee had already sent Oprah to live with her father in Nashville, Tennessee. Lee, who worked as a housemaid, gave up Patricia for adoption due to her extreme poverty. Patricia stayed in foster care until being adopted at the age of seven.

Le Beau Chateau Sells The sprawling Connecticut estate of reclusive heiress Huguette Clark has finally been sold after almost a decade on the market. The multi-millionairess never spent a night in the property, known as Le Beau Chateau, after purchasing it in 1952. The new buyers managed to buy the home at almost 60% lower than the original asking price of $34 million. Clark had always said the house was bought to get away from the horrors of nuclear war, according to a great-half-nephew.

grounds need extensive renovation and restoration. Fashion designer and former Coach executive Reed Krakoff and his wife, interior designer Delphine Krakoff, who just sold their Manhattan Upper Eastside mansion for $51 million, are the new owners. The 22-room estate has been vacant for more than 60 years. Clark, the daughter of copper tycoon and U.S. senator William Clark, purchased the property in 1952 but never spent any time there... No Babies Here Talk show host and comedienne Ellen DeGeneres, who is hosting the 86th annual Oscars on Sunday, says she and her longtime partner Portia de Rossi do not plan to have children because the responsibility is too big. Wed probably be great parents, says Ellen. But its a human being, and unless you think you have excellent skills and a have a drive or yearnings in you to do that, the amount of work that is and responsibility I wouldnt want to screw them up! Portia surprises me all the time. Shes so funny, really smart, talented and kind. What amazes me is that she is never boring. I make her laugh, but she really makes me laugh. Ellen tells People magazine that both she and Portia suffered when they came out, and Ellen was upset by how
people reacted to her news. To me, my coming out was the equivalent of if Liberace had come out. I didnt think it was going to be that much of a surprise. The bottom line is that my feelings were hurt. I just gave up and moved to Ojai and sat in my house as long as I could until I ran out of money. Then I started over again. At the time, it was harder for Portia and she paid some consequences for a while. Looking back, I did feel isolated and rejected, but now I look at it as a movie I saw that someone went through. I only experience the amazing life I have right now. Wild for Wine Direct Relief set quite a target when it staged the eighth biannual Santa Barbara Vintners Foundations wine auction at the Bacara with a sell-out crowd of 600 guests, raising a hefty $1 million. In 2012 we raised $550,000, so weve set the bar really high this time, says Hannah Rael, the popular charitys PR, of the glittering event hosted by Chris Harrison, host of ABCs popular show The Bachelor, with Los Angeles auctioneer Dawn Marie Kotsonis, dubbed the Gavel Girl for her expertise extricating bounteous bids for the items on offer.

system, that task is as simple as turning your landscaping system dial to OFF. Your landscaping will do fine with no MWD water if it does rain this weekend. Step 4 Remove the concrete cover of the meter with your fingers. You will find yourself peering into a dark 14 deep hole, filled with spiders and other creepy stuff. Donning rubber gloves for the squeamish, and a manly flashlight for illumination, seek the bottom of the hole where you will find a rotund hinged meter cover. Pop the cover into the upright position, clean the meter face with Windex and a sponge, note the date and time, record the meter reading and resolve to repeat the meter-reading process a week later. Step 5 Repeat Step 4 one week later, and subtract the original meter read from the current read. Assuming you have turned off all landscaping water for a week, you have just discovered your one-week essential-use ration of indoor water use for showers, laundry, dishwashing, cooking, drinking, toilets, and toothbrush. Multiply the difference in the two meter reads times 4 1/3 weeks to get your monthly indoor essential usage. Hopefully, you will be well under 25 units per month per household, or 25 hundred cubic feet (HCF) of water usage. 1 HCF = 748 gallons. Step 6 The big water hog is landscaping. Meet with your gardener or landscaper and a representative from MWD to construct your own personalized water plan. Set your irrigation system to no more than one night a week of watering. Reduce your water duration cycle to 4-5 minutes of water, instead of 25 minutes or more. Be prepared for brown lawns, withered hedges, and dreary vines. Save live coast oaks and other live trees. Citrus trees may survive but produce no fruit. Dont grumble. Do your part. Step 7 Read your meter every day in the last week of the month to make sure you remain under your ration allotment. Going one HCF over your ration in use merits a fine; 25% over your ration use merits a mandatory water-flow restrictor, something you dont want. Step 8 Its not an excuse to say you didnt know the rules, your gardener doesnt speak English, or you were out of town. The appeals process is expensive. The overuse penalties are more so. Step 9 Save shower water in buckets and use on plants. Step 10 You could join with neighbors to make a communal effort to conserve water. Those who look upon this community with skepticism (and whose per-household water usage is less than a quarter of ours) are likely to be surprised to discover that Montecito and Summerland residents and businesses will find ways to reduce water usage by at least the requested (and required) 30%. And, just as Montecito homeowners have done in the past, they will probably lead the way to both more effective systems of water conservation and MJ new sources of what has become Californias liquid gold.

Bacharach Is Back
urt Bacharach was sitting out by the pool, relaxing after working out with his personal trainer at home as he answered the phone late last week. Its not a bad life at all, said Bacharach, 85. Indeed, his prolific 50-year-plus career has produced more than 500 songs, including more than 70 Top 40 hits, almost 50 of which reached the Top 10, earning him seven Grammys plus the 2008 Lifetime Achievement Award, and three Academy Awards for songs and soundtracks. Close to You, Wishin and Hopin, I Just Dont Know What to Do with Myself, Always Something There to Remind Me, The Look of Love, One Less Bell to Answer the list is seemingly endless, many of which have scored for multiple performers. And hes not done: Bacharach has re-teamed with Elvis Costello to create the Broadway musical version of Mike Meyers Austin Powers. Bacharach, among the classiest of composers in the pop music era, hits the casino circuit for his first visit to the area in a decade, performing in the Samala Showroom next Thursday, March 6. Q. Last time you were in town, it was for the distinguished alumni concert at the Music Academy. What stands out most from your time there? A. What I remember most was living in the gymnasium at Cate School, away from everybody else. (But musically), we played a piece of music I wrote in the composition class for violin, piano and oboe, and it had a very melodic second movement. I was embarrassed about that, because it was certainly more melodic than what the other students were writing, which was dissonant, Albert Berg-style 12-tone music. I was a little sheepish playing it for Darius Milhaud. And

Debate Tourney Takes Center Stage
The Big Burn
Westmont hosts a panel discussion about wildfire as part of Westmont Reads on Thursday, March 6, from 2-3 pm in Voskuyl Library. This year, the annual program focuses on the book The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America by Timothy Egan. The program includes a series of events, including book discussions and featured speakers at UC Santa Barbara and at public libraries in Santa Barbara and Montecito. The aim of Westmont Reads is to begin conversations that bring awareness to larger issues off campus
Sophomore Michael Deiana and junior Corrie Farbstein won top honors at the 17th Annual Tournament of Expressions on February 5. Deiana, a psychology major from Phoenix, debated against junior Katie Landis about whether the United States should ban the use of fossil fuels. Organizers didnt reveal the topic until moments before the debate, emphasizing mental agility, critical thinking and public speaking skills. Farbstein, a communication studies major from San Mateo, was the winner of Great Speeches, delivering Naomi Wolfs 1992 Scripps College commencement address, A Womans Place. Amy Hamilton, Katherine Kwong and Rebecca Shasberger were runners-up. The winners received $200 each, while runners-up received $100. The tournament originated with a gift from Montecito residents Bob and Jean Svoboda, who sought to inspire and reward active civic involvement among college students. The theme of the tournament is passion and civility since the Svobodas, and the faculty wanted students to be passionate about their ideas while also modeling civility in public discourse, says Omedi Ochieng, an associate professor of communication studies who directs the tournament. Kelly Schon, a CPA who works as a financial reporting manager at Kaplan International North America, Diana Jessup Lee, a partner at Reicker, Pfau, Pyle and McRoy law firm in Santa Barbara, Anthony S. Davis 96, Santa Barbara County deputy district attorney, and Lesa Stern, chair of the Westmont Communication Studies Department, MJ judged the competition.

The only media to promote the parade was the Montecito Journal, in accord with the idea of keeping it local. That first year, Dana signed up about thirty entrants and he figures there may have been as many as 700 people, entrants included, who showed up. It exceeded our expectations that first year, Dana says, and it gave us the energy to continue on.

The parade now heads out of Upper Manning Park directly onto San Ysidro Road before turning down Santa Rosa (300 yards?), and some 2,500 to 3,000 people show up to participate and/or simply enjoy. The Village Fourth has become Montecitos most attended and eagerly anticipated event of the year, and there is no doubt it will continue on. But, after 19 years, Diane and Dana say they need to be replaced. Diane suggests she should be replaced with someone with connections to the elementary schools.
Because thats where a lot of the draw comes from. I have a notebook and a timeline, she says, and ideally Im looking for someone to follow me this year and then take over next year. The first day needed is May 15 and thats when we begin to raise that nineteen thousand dollars. Diane says there is not a huge time commitment required of her replacement until June 15 and the biggest time commitment would be July 4, followed by a couple clean-up days after that. As for replacing Dana, Just give me a warm body, he jokes. Hell train his replacement, and believes it should be somebody who is somewhat attached to the Montecito Association. Somebody who is interested in the kids and the local schools; somebody whos patriotic and wants to do this, wants to be there. And, somebody who can go out and promote this, because it does take some promotion. He or she has got to be available to talk with people who call about the parade and who ask what they can do. Two weeks before the parade, I probably get a hundred calls a day. It has a life of its own, at this point, says Diane. Interested parties should call Diane at 805-969-9005 or e-mail: dlpann kuk@aol.com. MJ

Duryeas: Perpetual Visitors

Ms Beresford is a retired English and American history teacher of 30 years in the Santa Barbara School District. She is author of two Noticias, El Mirasol: From Swan to Albatross and Santa Barbara Grocers, for the Santa Barbara Historical Society.
he Duryea family, who began wintering in Santa Barbara in 1888, were descendants of several prominent Dutch families dating back to colonial times in New Netherlands and later New York. Four members of this family have remained in Santa Barbara in perpetuity. When Harmanus Barkulo Duryea and his brother, Pierrepont Haliburton Duryea, first came to Santa Barbara, they joined other well-heeled visiting Easterners and young sporting residents in forming a congenial social group. In the winter of 1890, the brothers helped establish the Arlington Jockey Club, which promoted races of native bred horses at the Agricultural Park on the Middle Estero. Herman became president of the club, and Pierrepont served on the board of stewards. The group sponsored races and dances, and participated in pigeon shoots and rodeos, generally finding ways to make life pleasant and interesting in Santa Barbara. In November 1896, however, tragedy struck the Duryea family. Pierrepont, who suffered from a long list of debilitating ailments, became ill and died suddenly at Cottage Hospital. A solemn and simple funeral was held at Trinity Church, where maidenhair fern, violets, and white carnations draped the coffin and floral tributes crowded the altar. His compatriots from the Arlington Jockey Club served as pallbearers: William Waples Burton, Charles S. Fay, George Coles, Sherman P. Stow, Richard Barrett Fithian, Louis Jones, Charles E. Bigelow, and W.A. Beale. Mrs. Duryea, mother of the deceased, the Morning Press reported, had to be given restoratives during the funeral service.

major general in the Second Division National Guard of New York, from which he retired in 1869. The family was well-off and Herman unlike his ancestors who had devoted themselves to lives of public service and the competitive marketplace
first expressed his own competitive nature on the open seas. He began as a young lad racing sandbaggers on the Shrewsbury River. (Sandbaggers were oyster boats powered by overlarge sails. They became popular racing boats using sandbags rather than oysters as ballast.) Herman became obsessed with the sport and is credited with initiating class boat racing in 1893. In 1900, he and three other members of the New York Yacht Club commissioned Nathanael Herreshoff of the famous Rhode Island boat building family to design each of them a 70-foot yacht. While the other owners hired captains to race their boats, Herman skippered his own yacht, Yankee. In August, the four boats joined more than 200 yachts at Newport Harbor, thus creating, according to The New York Times, the largest and most magnificent fleet of pleasure craft ever assembled in American or any other waters. That summer, Herman won many races with the Yankee despite racing against professional skippers. He gave much of the credit to Nathaneal Herreshoff, whom he thought was a genius in the design of all aspects of boats. Several Americas Cup winners proved Herreshoffs skill. In April 1895, Herman had married

of restoratives. Pierreponts remains were to be placed in a receiving vault at the Santa Barbara cemetery until spring, when they would be taken east. During the interlude, his mother, Mary Browne Duryea, decided shed rather have her sons remains placed within sight of the ocean. She commissioned a mausoleum to be constructed at the cemetery and had him placed there. Afterward, she rarely left Santa Barbara. When she died in 1900, her remains were placed beside those of her son, whom she had been so loathe to leave.

Conductor Ricardo Castro, who founded the seven-year-old Brazilianbased program that runs the project, last year became the first Brazilian to receive honorary membership of the Royal Philharmonic Society, figuring among such notables names
as Brahms, Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, and Aaron Copeland. The exuberant show kicked off with Tchaikovskys Romeo and Juliets Overture-Fantasy, which had been played by the Santa Barbara Symphony just 48 hours earlier, with pianist Jean Yves-Thibaudets recital of Ravels concerto in G Major wrapping up the first half. Revueltas Sensemaya, Villa-Lobos Bachianas Brasileiras No. 4 and Marquezs Danzon No. 2 concluded the concert, with a decidedly wonderful dollop of Carmen Miranda as an encore, with the 1933 work Brazil and the 1917 piece Tico Tico, which almost had the packed audience dancing in the aisles as the talented youngsters, particularly in the strings and brass sections, swayed to the pulsating South American rhythms.

Ellen W. Weld, the widow of William F. Weld of Boston and daughter of Thomas Winchester. The announcement of their engagement by The New York Times stated, She is supposed to be worth $5,000,000. In 1903, they moved onto the estate they had commissioned the famous Gilded Age architectural firm of Carrere and Hastings to design. Located in Old Westbury on Long Island, it was named Knole. Duryea also owned a vast estate at Hickory Valley, Tennessee, where he bred dogs and gamecocks and shorthorn cattle. He developed the Duryea gaming fowl over a period of 30 years. According to one source, he won more than 100 mains and lost only one in 32 years of cocking. Wanting to make the South a self-sustaining area rather than a debtor, he demonstrated a multitude of agricultural reforms for the area. He introduced shorthorn cattle and the success of his breeding program was proven in 1914 when during 14 state fairs his cattle won 134 first prizes,
72 second prizes, 56 championships, and 14 grand championships. He also illustrated techniques for the care of cattle, sheep, and hogs such as dipping in vats to remove ticks and other vermin. In six years, he resuscitated 14,000 acres of west Tennessee land by rotation grazing with lespedeza and cowpeas. A local newspaper in 1915 opined that Duryea was doing more practical work for the State of Tennessee than all the governors, congressmen and legislators combined.

Thoroughbred Racing
A 1918 biography says Herman was recognized for many years as the best amateur cowboy in Arizona, California, and Wyoming. Perhaps because of his experiences with the 1890 Arlington Jockey Club, he eventually abandoned ships and turned his attention to the fields of the equine world. In the East, he became one of the foremost American patrons of the

sport of breeding and racing thoroughbreds. His first venture was in partnership with his yachting friend, Harry Payne Whitney, with whom he developed the Westbury Stables. In 1902, they paid $17,500 for a promising yearling named Irish Lad, who went on to win many prestigious races for the pair. They continued to add winning horses to their stable until 1908, when the passage of the HartAgnew anti-betting law sounded the death knell for horse racing in the United States. In 1910, Duryea shipped Irish Lad and a number of highly bred brood mares to Neuvy-au-Houlme in Lower Normandy, France, and set up a new stable, Haras du Gazon. His stable was successful, but his greatest distinction came when Durbar II won the English Derby, only the 4th Americanowned horse to do so. When war broke out in 1914, racing ended in France. He and Ellen boarded the Lusitania in Liverpool and returned to the United States at the end of October. Less than a year later, a torpedo fired without warning from a German U-boat would send the Lusitania to the bottom of the sea.
The Duryeas contributed liberally to many of the war relief funds in the United States and in France. In New York, Ellen joined with other society matrons in running a canteen for American soldiers. Hermanus Barkulo Duryea died at Saranac Lake, New York, in 1916. After the war, his widow, Ellen, tried to keep the French stables going, but she eventually gave them up. (Today, the coach house of the 300-acre Haras du Gazon estate has been converted into an exclusive French gte.) Ellen died in December 1927. The bulk of her $2 million estate was bequeathed to a nephew, but she stipulated that five shotguns valued at $2,000 should go to her friend Clarence Mattei, artist and son of the famous Matteis Tavern family. Two months later, the remains of Ellen and Hermanus were transported to the family mausoleum, where they joined his brother and mother as permanent residents of Santa Barbara.

Some of her works respond to mythic sites like the Nazca Lines and the New Mexican petroglyphs. The drawing Moon (1969) is rendered from photographs taken at the lunar landing that year. No wonder. She worked as a topographical draftsperson, mapping the earths crust from Las Vegas to South Korea. In the 1970s, she became known for her monumental drawings in which rolls of paper were smashed with rocks stroked with earth, or rubbed with graphite until characteristics of a given site were ingrained in its surface.

Bring It To...
These permanent public art works are on display throughout the United States: New York, Washington, D.C., Nashville, Sacramento, Tampa, Kansas City, and more. This show consists of about 100 works, drawings, of which 48 are on view at SBMA and the rest at UCSBs Art, Design & Architecture Museum (AD&A). The exhibition traces Aycocks career from 1971 to the present. According to Terrie Sultan in the catalogue introduction, Aycock is an artist who thinks on paper. Her spectacular drawings are equal parts engineering plan and science-fiction imagining. Alice was born in 1946 and educated at Douglass College and Hunter College. She came on the scene in New York in the 1970s, and her work was widely exhibited in the 1970s and 80s. She has influenced many artists through her teaching at various institutions, particularly the School of Visual Arts in New York, where shes been since 1991. The SBMA is the exclusive West Coast venue for this major exhibition of internationally acclaimed American artist Michelle Stuart. She has redefined the medium of drawing. There are nearly 60 works spanning from the late 1960s to present day, and they are extremely varied. Michelle was born and trained in California, but her work stems from a lifelong interest in the natural world

Ed also gave credit to Sue for her wisdom, and they are both leaders in the community. The couple met in the fifth grade and have been together ever since.

PUBLIC NOTICES
ORDINANCE NO. 93 AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MONTECITO WATER DISTRICT ALLOCATING WATER DURING WATER SHORTAGE EMERGENCY AND PROVIDING PENALTY RATES AND RESTRICTIONS FOR CONSUMPTION IN EXCESS OF ALLOCATION WHEREAS, the Montecito Water District (District) is a County Water District organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, situated and serving an area entirely within the County of Santa Barbara; and WHEREAS, The Districts dependence on surface water supplies and the adverse effects of unpredictable and unreliable rain have been the primary reasons for historical water shortages. Rainfall at the Jameson Lake station for the last three consecutive years has been well below the historical average at 53% in 2011, 31% in 2012 and 7% to date for 2014. The below average rainfall has resulted in no recharge to the Districts local water supplies including Jameson Lake, Lake Cachuma and the groundwater basin resulting in a significant reduction of the normal available water supply; and WHEREAS, Local water supplies continue to decline with Jameson Lake and Doulton Tunnel water supplies severely restricted providing an estimated 810 acre feet (AF) during the current water year which began October 1, 2013. During normal years these two sources provide approximately 2100 AF of water; and WHEREAS, Due to the dry weather conditions affecting the entire State of California, the Districts imported State Water Project supply has been set by the Department of Water Resources at a historically low allocation of 0% of the Districts total annual allocation of 3,300 AF; and WHEREAS, The loss of private wells due to decreased groundwater levels through the lack of groundwater recharge and continuing dry weather conditions has led to an alarming increase in customer demand. For the 2012-13 water year, water sales through December 2012 were 1,217 AF. In contrast, water sales for the current 2013-2014 water year through December 2013 increased by approximately 320 AF. Given current trends, projected water sales through the end of the 2013-14 water year are estimated to be 6,638 AF; and WHEREAS, For the 2013-14 water year, assuming no mandatory cutbacks in the Cachuma Project water deliveries, the District will have a total estimated water supply of 5,300 AF, including losses and excluding sources with unknown delivery amounts; and WHEREAS, The following table and graph show the 2013-14 water year with the available water supply of 5,300 AF. This table and graph illustrate the monthly change to the available water supply without conservation or water use restrictions applied. The water demand values include actual demand for the period October 2013 through January 2014. Demand values from February 2014 through September 30, 2014 are the recorded customer water demand for the period February 2013 through September 30, 2013 even though demand has continued to increase. This estimate assumes continuing dry weather conditions; and 2013 -14 WATER SUPPLY AND DEMAND ANALYSIS MONTH OCT NOV DEC JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP DEMAND 663 496 379 531 312 389 537 601 618 698 731 684 REMAINING SUPPLY 4,637 4,141 3,763 3,232 2,920 2,531 1,994 1,393 775 77 -654 -1,338
WHEREAS, If dry weather conditions continue and water consumption levels remain similar to those in the 2012-13 water year, the District will exhaust its available 2013-14 water supply in July unless there is an immediate 30% reduction in water use or the District is able to find supplemental water. The use of the water supply for fire protection purposes will only exacerbate this situation; and WHEREAS, Section 31026 of the Water Code similarly permits the District to restrict use of water during any emergency caused by drought, and to prohibit the wastage of water during such periods; and

PUBLIC NOTICES
WHEREAS, Pursuant to its authority under section 350 of the Water Code, the District may declare a water shortage emergency condition when it finds and determines that the ordinary demands and requirements of water consumers cannot be satisfied without depleting the water supply to the extent that there would be insufficient water for human consumption, sanitation, and fire protection; and WHEREAS, Pursuant to section 353 of the Water Code, after declaring a water shortage emergency, the District may adopt restrictions on the consumption of water in order to conserve the water supply for the greatest public benefit with particular regard to domestic use, sanitation, and fire protection; and WHEREAS, Notice of a time and place of a public hearing held on February 11, 2014 was duly given and published, and customers were given an opportunity to be heard and protest against a declaration that a water shortage emergency condition prevails within the District, and protests and testimony were duly received and considered by the Districts Board of Directors (Board or Board of Directors); and WHEREAS, On February 11, 2014, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 92, under which it declared a water shortage emergency, adopted restrictions on the use of water, and imposed penalties for the violation of use restrictions; and WHEREAS, a water shortage emergency now exists throughout the State of California, and the District has been unable to identify material sources of supplemental water. Excessive consumption therefore cannot be offset by supplemental purchases, and it is critical that customers reduce consumption immediately, in order to conserve this vital resource; and WHEREAS, The Board has determined that the use restrictions adopted under Ordinance 92 will not adequately protect the water supply, and allocation limits must be established in order to ensure the availability of water to meet health, safety and sanitation needs; and WHEREAS, Pursuant to Resolution No. 2107, adopted by the Board on August 29, 2013, current rates are based upon a policy of allocating a 13% share of State Water Project costs to Agricultural customers for nondomestic uses, who in turn are limited to 13% of the State Water Project supply that they would otherwise be entitled to for those uses during drought conditions, if they had contributed at the 100% level. The allocation limits established under this Ordinance, and the availability of carryover from the previous State Water Project supply, must therefore reflect that policy. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MONTECITO WATER DISTRICT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Prohibition Against Waste of Water. It shall be unlawful for any water user obtaining any water from and through the distribution facilities of the District to waste any of that water. Section 2. Definitions. As used in this Ordinance, the following words or terms shall have the meanings set forth in this section. 2.1. An Account is a District record that identifies the meters through which water is served to a particular property, the name of the person requesting the service, the location of the property and the person responsible for payment. Each such Account is identified by an account number. 2.2. Account Classifications. 2.2.1. The Agricultural classification applies to the exclusive use of at least two contiguous acres of land, under one ownership, to grow crops for human consumption or as floriculture. This classification applies only to properties for which the District has granted an agricultural use classification permit as of the effective date of Ordinance No. 90, and for which the customer provides satisfactory evidence as may be required by the District from time to time to confirm that the property is used principally and predominantly for the cultivation and harvest of crops suitable for human consumption or for use as floriculture. Specifically excluded from this classification are the cultivation of any other crops, ornamental plants grown in containers for onsite retail sale, livestock grazing, polo fields, and the breeding, raising, training or stabling of horses. 2.2.2. The Commercial classification applies to all properties where water is used for purposes of business, industry, trade or commerce. It includes businesses and industries that produce or sell goods or services, whether such sales are wholesale or retail. Commercial uses shall include, but are not limited to, offices, retail stores and complexes, banks, restaurants, hotels, grocery stores, specialty markets, and manufacturing and processing facilities. A mixed use Commercial property with Single Family Residential or Multi Family Residential use shall be classified as Commercial and billed at Commercial rates unless one or more separate meters is installed to serve the residential use of the property. 2.2.3. The Institutional classification includes properties, owned privately or publicly, that are used primarily as public offices, schools, churches, cemeteries, philanthropic organizations, membership associations, country clubs, sports clubs, recreational facilities, golf courses and tennis clubs. This classification also includes historic sites that are not in residential use and that are open to the public on a regular schedule. It also includes public entities providing essential services to the community such as Montecito Fire Protection District, Summerland-Carpinteria Fire Protection District, Montecito Sanitary District, Summerland Sanitary District, and the Montecito Community Hall and Library. 2.2.4. The Multi-family Residential classification includes all properties with two or more residential units where at least two units are served by a single master meter. The multiple units may be constructed in any combination and configuration, including but not limited to apartment buildings, trailer parks and residential condominiums existing as of the effective date of this Ordinance and served by a single master meter. A mixed use property that has both Multi-family Residential and Commercial uses will be billed at the rate applicable to Commercial uses unless a separate meter is installed to serve residential use. 2.2.5. The Single Family Residential classification includes all properties with a primary single family residential unit. The classification also applies to properties with uses and structures customarily incidental and accessory to single family residential use, such as a guesthouse, cabana, private recreational facilities, livestock grazing, polo fields, and the breeding, raising, training or stabling of horses. The Single Family Residential classification also includes all properties with any number of residential condominium units, each of which is served by a separate meter. Home occupations within a residence that are permitted by the County of Santa Barbara, or that are exempt from such permit requirements, are included in this definition. A mixed use property that has both Single Family Residential and Commercial uses will be billed at the rate applicable to Commercial uses unless a separate meter is installed to serve residential use. 2.3. Base Allotment means the calculated average amount of water actually delivered to the property per month during the three-year fiscal period 2003/04 2005/06. A Base Allotment will be calculated for properties classified as Commercial or Institutional. If the property does not have three years of use history, or if the use changes materially, the District will determine the Base Allotment by taking into account other relevant factors such as the established historical use of the property, or the water usage of properties of comparable sizes or with comparable uses during the Base Allotment period. 2.4. The Monthly Allocation Factor (MAF) is a Monthly Billing Cycle allocation adjustment that will be applied to the Single Family Residential, Commercial, Institutional and Agricultural classifications that distributes the annual allocation of water to an account over a twelve month period. The calculated MAF reflects the distinct way water is used by each classification over a five dry year monthly averaging period. 2.4.1 The Single Family Residential MAF is defined as follows: Jul .115 2.4.2 Aug .113 Sep .107 Oct .095 Nov .067 Dec .048 Jan .055 Feb .046 Mar .068 Apr .081 May .102 Jun .103
The Commercial MAF is defined as follows: Jul .1 Aug .103 Sep .092 Oct .090 Nov .072 Dec .067 Jan .068 Feb .067 Mar .075 Apr .085 May .092 Jun .092
2.4.3
The Institutional MAF is defined as follows: Jul .13 Aug .126 Sep .114 Oct .092 Nov .059 Dec .034 Jan .039 Feb .038 Mar .061 Apr .089 May .107 Jun .11
2.4.4
The Agricultural MAF is defined as follows: Jul .117 Aug .114 Sep .121 Oct .112 Nov .063 Dec .035 Jan .051 Feb .034 Mar .06 Apr .074 May .104 Jun .114
2.5. A Monthly Billing Cycle is a period of approximately 30 consecutive days between meter readings by the District. There are 12 billing cycles in each Water Year. Meter reading is for the purpose of ascertaining actual flow through the meter for the period since the last meter reading for that Account. 2.6 2.7. A Revised Allocation Period is the period of time during which revised allocations pursuant to any amendment of this Ordinance are effective. A Water Year begins on October 1 each year and ends on September 30 of the following year.
Section 3. Allocation by Customer Class. 3.1. Agricultural Accounts shall receive an annual allocation of 0.8 AF per cultivated acre of land, with monthly allocation determined by the Agricultural MAF, as defined in Section 2.4.4 of this Ordinance. For example, the Agricultural MAF for January is 0.051, which means that the January allocation for two cultivated acres of Agricultural land is .0816 AF, determined as follows: 2 x 0.8 x 0.051 = .0816. Included in the monthly water allocation is the domestic component of 20 HCF per dwelling unit. 3.2 3.3 3.4 Commercial Accounts shall be allocated the Base Allotment, with monthly allocation determined by the Commercial MAF, as defined in Section 2.4.2 of this Ordinance. Institutional Accounts shall be allocated 70% of the Base Allotment, with monthly allocation determined by the Institutional MAF, as defined in Section 2.4.3 of this Ordinance. Multi-Family Residential Accounts shall be allocated 6 HCF per dwelling unit per month. This allocation is not subject to adjustment by a Monthly Allocation Factor.
3.5 Single Family Residential Accounts shall be allocated 25 HCF per month for essential health and sanitation uses, including a landscape buffer (Essential Use Allocation). The Essential Use Allocation is not subject to adjustment by the Monthly Allocation Factor. In addition to the Essential Use Allocation, Single Family Residential Accounts shall be allocated 111 HCF per acre per year for other uses (Nonessential Use

ontecito artists are exhibiting their works specially made for the Art and Love Group Exhibit at the Santa Barbara Tennis Club, which opened February 14, in conjunction with the hardcover coffee table book featuring them, Between Seer and Seen: Celebrating the Artists of Santa Barbara County by Mark Robert Halper. The group show of 63 artists, curated by Susan Tibbles, displays Marks photo-portraits of the artists alongside the work by the same artist. The works are comprised of various mediums no larger than 8 x 8 inches and depict each artists interpretation of the love theme. Tibbles said, It took Halper seven trips and 24 days in 2012 to capture 71 Santa Barbara artists for his newest book, Between Seer and Seen... artists whose portraits are in the show have created original works of art to complement Halpers iconic portraits of them. At the opening, fans purchasing Halpers book mingled with the artists for autographs. One caveat is that Halper is contributing a percentage of

the books sales to the Santa Barbara Arts Fund (SBAF). Kai Tepper, executive director of the SBAF, said, Mark has done a wonderful job in recognizing remarkable artists through the lens of beautifully crafted portraits. The arts fund has been dedicated to enriching the artistic community in Santa Barbara for 30 years and many of the artists represented in Marks book have also had exhibitions in the Arts funds Community Gallery. Mark and his team generously provided us with an opportunity to collaborate in such a way that brings to light the vibrant community of artists in our town. At the opening, Halper talked about his book and why he decided to do it: I fell in love with the area when I photographed the winemakers for Sunlight and Water, and since then my wife and I have been building up a family portrait business in the area as well. Focusing on Santa Barbara was almost a given, and having lived in

awiliwili harbor at noon, sitting under the shade of a Plumeria tree on a rough, weathered picnic table waiting for my boat. A few scattered clouds blunted the full force of the tropical sun like a friend. I smiled to think that it was mid-winter and a balmy 75 degrees, while Chicago was a cool 7 degrees with snow blowing horizontally, making it feel subzero. Across the calm water of the inlet sits a massive cruise ship, The Pride of America, sparkling in the sun, its white sides adorned with red-andwhite printed ribbons. A jet in the background landing at Lihue on the warmest, sunniest day of our weeklong trip here. I had cancelled the fishing trip two days ago, due to inclement weather that churned 15-foot swells and gusts of 60 mph that bruised the coastline of Kauai, creating crashing waves that even intrepid surfers merely watched. My quest today was to fish for the first time off of a Hawaiian island using the services of a small local operation to do so. As it turned out, the skipper/owner, Lance, was a native Santa Barbaran and so were a visiting couple (Damien and Jessica) who joined me and two others on this 30-foot Wilson. The boat arrived on time after its morning trip and pulled up to the landing, delivering a local Hawaiian family of six along with a collection

of colorful fish of five different species gleaming in the sun, displayed on the dock for photos. The boat was cleaned up and the five of us boarded and headed out. The nice thing about fishing from a small boat near shore is that you see the beauty of the island from a perspective like no other. The bonus in this case was that our boat ride took us along a coast abundant with humpback whales sounding out of the water like huge trout. Not one or two but several and often, and only a couple of football fields distant or closer. The Hawaiian Islands are the prime location for the mating and calving of these whales; curiously they do not feed here, saving that for their migration to Alaskan waters rich with krill. As with any deep-sea fishing trip, you take your chances with catching, but fortunately three 15-pound, yellow-fin tuna were caught, one by me. At the end, the skipper filleted all fish and distributed them evenly to all. I had plenty of fresh ahi for the

My advice when you visit the beautiful island of Kauai is to first buy a plumeria lei upon arriving at the airport, stop at a fruit stand and collect a basket of tropical fruit for your room, then you must visit Poipu Beach at the south end, Kilauea Lighthouse and the St. Regis Princeville Resort at Hanalei Bay to the north end of the island and, if time permits, Waimea

Montecito artists exhibiting at the Art and Love Group Exhibit (l-r): Nancy Gifford, Joan RosenbergDent, Cayetana Conrad, Peggy Ferris, Cynthia James and Tom Meilko SB Arts Fund executive director Kai Tepper with artist Dorothy ChurchillJohnson showing her portrait in Halpers book at the Art and Love Group Exhibit
artists lofts in Los Angeles, Ive found that artists can make very compelling subjects. My focus was simply on creating the best art that I could, as a portraitist, and I thought that if I could do that then the collection of portraits would find some place in the community at large. I am very gratified that the work has been well received, both by the artists themselves, as well as in the larger community. Next, the Montecito artists, Cayetana Conrad, Joan RosenbergDent, Peggy Ferris, Nancy Gifford, Cynthia James, and Tom Meilko, commented on being in Halpers book and in the Love show. Heres what they had to say: Joan: My portrait portrays me in a calm, reflective mood that mirrors my work both figuratively and literally. Mr. Halper totally captured the reflective feeling and the reflective surface of both me and my work. Peggy: I see the combination of Marks book and the exhibit at the tennis club not so much as representing the context of my work, but
as a lure to draw the viewer in and examine the real or imagined links between the face and the piece itself. Can one see origins of the work in the subtle aspects of the portrait? Or imagine seeing character traits in the accompanying work? The viewers internal dialog between the two parts now adds a third dimension to theinterpretation, colored by the viewers own mental constructs projected onto the piece. I experienced thisfascinating and engagingprocess myself in viewing the exhibit. Endless thanks to Mark Halper for his amazing book and to Susan Tibbles for conceiving and executing such a rich experience. Tom: While I loved the book, Mark is a very talented photographer, my typical art style tends to be large canvases filled with color. Recently, I have been experimenting with animal drawings, having gone back to my first love, the pencil. And so I prepared a small drawing for the show. I particularly chose this black-andwhite image to coordinate with my

black and white portrait, which I am very pleased with and the shows theme of love. The curator of the show required us to provide a small 8 x 8 piece, and so I complied with her direction, but I much prefer working on a larger scale. Tani: The portraits are really about his own artistic statement, which I have to say made posing for him a lot of fun. We were part of his creative process. There are 60-plus artists in this show, all of the paintings are 8 x 8 or smaller, which I understand was a challenge for many of the artists who are used to working much larger. But it is also part of what makes this show fascinating 60 tiny and affordable works of art by professional Santa
Barbara artists and next to each one, a beautiful, tonal, black-and-white photo of the artist by Mark. Fellow artists at the shows opening shared similar views. The number of artists is an interesting accomplishment for Tibbles, given the limited wall space at the SB Tennis Club. Susan agreed and added, Its not the number of artists that makes a good show, itsthe synergy of the artists work that creates a vignette of imagery that is provocative to the eye and artistic sensibility. The Halper photos, specifically, create a cohesion to the narrative of the artists and their work. INFO: Art and Love Group Exhibit, Santa Barbara Tennis Club, February 14 to March 7. MJ

his year I once again offered up my mind and body to the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, or as some call it, SBIFF. I seldom call it SBIFF because I think the acronym sounds too much like SPIT. Speaking of spit, Im reminded of a personal story that occurred on the first day of science class in my junior year at San Marcos High School. The teacher, Mrs. Miller, was reading roll and she called out my name. Sitting in the back of the classroom, I hollered here. She looked at me and said, Yes, Ive heard of you Mr. Alexander. Id like you to move up here to the front row, within spitting distance. However, I digress. In lieu of pay, the Santa Barbara International Film Festival bestowed upon me the exalted title of volunteer. According to the Jim Alexander Unabridged Dictionary, a volunteer is someone gormless enough to work for free and, in my case, mooncalf enough to enjoy it. I originally decided to volunteer so I could write a column about the experience. After 456 fortnights of penning this column, Im running out of column ideas. This month I either had to try bungee jumping, get a bikini wax, or volunteer again for SBIFF. The choice was relatively easy (my mom drown all the dumb kids). As luck would have it, my task at the film festival was crowd control and door monitor for the green room, a job usually handed out to the volunteer best suited (in other words, wide enough) to block a door. For those not in-the-know, the green room is where the celebrities and VIPs gather to drink champagne until they turn green. I figured my position would give me plenty of column fodder. Surely one of the megastars Oprah Winfrey, Cate Blanchett, Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese, Bruce Dern, or Robert Redford would insist that Moet & Chandon be served to their pet
SBIFF Suits Me
by Jim Alexander
The vast majority of festival volunteers are allowed to look SPIFFy in T-shirts and comfortable slacks, but several of us had to wear male torture devices known to some adults (mostly on the East Coast) as suit and tie. People who know me know that Im a Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts guy (black shorts for funerals and Johnny Cashs birthday). The closest thing in my closet to a suit is Loras pink terrycloth robe, and the only thing that resembles a tie is a blue ribbon I won five years ago for best belly flop, senior division. So last year, my first with the festival, I had to go out and buy adult clothing. I wasnt about to spring for a real dress suit, so I bought a pair of black Dockers, a black sports coat, a pair of black oxfords, two white shirts, and a tie, all of which cost around $500. This brings me back to San Marcos High School. Only a public
school graduate would spend $500 dollars so he could write a newspaper column that pays $40. As painful as spending $500 for volunteer apparel was, its much more agonizing to actually wear said clothing. After buttoning, clasping, zipping, tucking and tying, I feel like a manatee stuffed into a Diet Coke bottle and, Im sure I look like two pigs fighting under a blanket. My first thought after suiting up was, Crap, whos going to tie my shoes? Speaking of shoes, my dogs had grown so used to wearing nothing but sandals and sneakers that walking in oxfords made me feel like Agador Spartacus in the movie The Birdcage. So, thats my Santa Barbara International Film Festival column. Im too chicken to go bungee jumping, so that leaves a bikini wax for next month. Lora tells me a bikini wax costs about $75. Jeez, I need a raise. MJ
The author, all dressed up and nowhere exciting to go Jim Alexander reminds us that he was the class clown who belonged within spitting distance of his teachers. When hes bored stiff and desperate for a column idea, film festivals are an ideal and gormless remedy, no matter how much he shells out for a suit and tie.
monkey, or demand that clowns serve them kale aspic, or request scented candles that smell like Nebraska. Unfortunately for me, all the celebrities were kind and considerate, and kind and considerate makes for a boring humor column. Still, I figured I could make fun of my fellow volunteers on the production team, but they were all pleasant, competent, and wartless possibly the only attributes more humor column challenging than kind and considerate. That left me but one thing to write about myself dressed in grown-up attire.

It was a weekend of high note when the American Choral Directors Association celebrated its 50th anniversary with teachers, conductors, composers, and singers descending on our Eden by the Beach to show off their ample musical abilities and talents. Among the many events in the program, I attended a concert at Our Lady of Sorrows Church that featured Nathan Kreitzers Quire of Voyces singing a requiem by Michael Eglin, music director and organist at El Montecito Presbyterian Church; the Westmont Chamber Singers under the baton of Grey Brothers; the Westmont College Choir with Michael Shasberger; and the Adelfos Ensemble with Temmo Korisheli. A festival beyond musical compare... Happily Ever After The Fairytale Lives of Russian Girls, which just wrapped at the UCSB Performing Arts Theater, is an adult fairytale by Los Angeles playwright Meg Miroshnik, but also chronicles the growth of a heroine with Sophie Hassett as the principal character. Director Tom Whitaker mixes the tawdry side of real world Russia with the mythological world blending almost imperceptibly with the real one, including witches and even a monstrous bear. The story, which takes place with the gaudy backdrops of Moscow, as well as the foreboding dark woods
of fairytales with colorful scenery by Nayna Ramey, and lighting by Vickie Scott and Spencer Michaels, add to the eerie atmosphere. The accompanying cast of Soren McVay, Marley Frank, Madelyn Robinson, Zurian Zarate and Quinlan Fitzgerald are spot-on in their roles, though the shock value of the colorful language tends to be overplayed...

Ryan Beard of R+D Kitchen says Montecito is a perfect location for the upscale eatery
of the conditions of approval, a wall was built to screen Jeannines Bakery next door. R+D Kitchen, a Hillstone restaurant, will open shortly after the building is finished, Valner said. He said he chose the restaurant because of the companys upscale but down-to-earth ambiance, as well as its reputation for high-quality food and friendly service. Even though they have many other restaurants, they are the anti-chain chain, Valner said. Other R+D Kitchen locations are in Santa Monica, Newport Beach, Dallas, and Yountville, California. The concept of the caf is classic American food; Hillstone Restaurant Group also owns Houstons and a dozen other restaurants or restaurant groupings. During a recent visit to an R+D Kitchen in Dallas, assistant manager Ryan Beard told us the eatery is known for adapting its menu to local produce and products. Valner said the restaurant designers will blend the modern dcor that R+D Kitchen is known for, with the coastal aesthetics Montecito offers. All the interior windows on the restaurant will open fully, allowing for an outdoor feel, and there will be an enclosed patio with roughly 24 seats, Valner said.
Dressed and Ready stores will open in the retail space on the property, moving from the building next door at 1253 Coast Village Road. Valner says one other space remains for lease for commercial use. The property is located at 1255 Coast Village Road.
looking forward to being finished, Menelli told us last week. Menelli bought the stand-alone building, once home to Village Pool Supply, and more recently Coast Village Rug Company, about a year ago. Mr. Menelli plans to use the space to operate his tile and design business, Menelli Tile and Design, which he has owned and operated in Santa Barbara for more than 35 years. He will use the space for his office as well as a design studio. Im happy to make the building more pleasant to look at as you enter Montecito, Menelli said.

Fire Station 3 Update

Montecito Fire Protection District Board of Directors continues to move forward on Fire Station 3. This month, the consulting firm AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. began preparing a new Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the project. The firm offered to revise the EIR last September, following a mandate from Superior Court judge Thomas Anderle, who ruled against the district in a lawsuit with Montecito Agricultural Foundation.
The building at 1080 Coast Village Road undergoes a major remodel to eventually house Menelli Tile and Design
The plans for expanding fire coverage in Montecito via a station to serve the eastern portion of the area have been in the works for several years. MFPD adheres to a five-minute response time, and studies conducted by the district found that the east side of Montecito is underserved. The area of Sheffield Drive, East Valley Road, and Romero Canyon Road was identified to be the general desirable space to build a third fire station, and in 2005 the board began looking for a suitable site. In 2010, a property located on the 2500 block of East Valley Road was identified as the best option. The property is a 2.55-acre portion of the Palmer Jackson Ranch. But following the lawsuit in April, the district received a letter from James Jackson, general manager of the Petan Company, the partnership that owns the property, in October. The letter stated the Jackson familys position that they would not extend or renegotiate the option to buy the property, which expired at the end of 2013. Mr. Jackson cited fluctuations in the value of the property after a five-year delay, community controversy over Fire Station 3, and the formation of Montecito Agricultural Foundation, as reasons not to support another option agreement. Montecito Fires Geri Ventura tells us the project, which includes parking, living quarters, administrative offices, apparatus bays, a 35-foot hose-drying tower, and two driveways, is still in the works. AMEC is moving forward with the revised EIR, and will address several issues that were omitted in the original EIR. Price, Postel & Parma, the districts legal firm, has also agreed to cover the legal fees associated with the revisions.

Allocation), with monthly allocation determined by the Single Family Residential MAF, as defined in section 2.4.1 of this Ordinance. For example, a 1.3 acre Single Family Residential Account shall receive a total allocation, including both the Essential Use and Nonessential Use Allocations, of 33 HCF for the month of January, determined as follows: 25 HCF + (111 HCF)(0.055)(1.3) = 33 HCF. Section 4. Use of Allocated Water. Subject to the prohibition against the waste of water and to the penalties provided under Section 7 for the violation of this Ordinance, it shall be the sole responsibility of each water user to manage his or her water needs in such a manner as not to exceed the amount of water allocated to that Account. Section 5. Place of and Class of Use of Rationed Water. Water allocated to an Account may be used only on and for the property served by that Account and on no other property, and only for that class of use or uses served by that Account and for no other use. Section 6. Billing Cycles, Notice of Amount Allocated and Carry-Forward. 6.1. Notice of Amount of Allocation. Thirty days before the first day of each Water Year, the District shall notify each Account in writing of the date of the commencement of the Water Year. The notice shall set forth the amount of water allocated to the Account for each Monthly Billing Cycle during the Water Year. 6.2 Notice for Revised Allocation Period. Thirty days before the first day of each Revised Allocation Period, the District shall notify each Account in writing of the date of the commencement of the Revised Monthly Allocation Period, and the applicable Monthly Billing Cycles for that Account remaining in the Water Year (Remaining Monthly Billing Cycles). The notice shall set forth the amount of water allocated to the Account for each Remaining Monthly Billing Cycle. 6.3 Billing Statement. Each Monthly Billing Cycle statement shall set forth the allocation for that Monthly Billing Cycle, the amount of water consumed during that Monthly Billing Cycle, the amount consumed in excess of the Accounts allocation for that Monthly Billing Cycle, if any, and the applicable penalty rates and total amount billed under those penalty rates. 6.4. Water Year Carry-Forward Adjustment. The allocation for each Account represents the maximum amount available for consumption on a monthly basis, and any unused allocation during a Monthly Billing Cycle shall not carry forward for use during subsequent Monthly Billing Cycles. However, any consumption in excess of the amount allocated during any Monthly Billing Cycle in any Water Year shall reduce the annual allocation for the subsequent Water Year. This reduction shall not be offset by unused allocation during any Monthly Billing Cycle. For example, if an Account exceeds its allocation by 5 HCF during one Monthly Billing Cycle of a Water Year, but consumes less than its monthly allocation during each of the other Monthly Billing Cycles of that Water Year, its annual allocation for the subsequent Water Year will be reduced by 5 HCF. Section 7. Excessive Consumption. If an Account uses more water during any Monthly Billing Cycle than has been allocated to that Account, such excess use shall constitute a violation of this Ordinance, and the penalty rates for excessive consumption and restrictions set forth in this section shall apply. 7.1. March 2014 Grace Period. No penalties or restrictions shall apply for consumption in excess of allocation for any Monthly Billing Cycle that ends prior to April 1, 2014. In order to inform customers of the penalties that will be imposed during subsequent Monthly Billing Cycles, the District shall include information in the billing statement for the Monthly Billing Cycle that includes the March 2014 meter reading (March Billing Cycle) about penalties that would apply if usage during the March Billing Cycle were to occur during subsequent Monthly Billing Cycles. 7.2 Beginning with the Monthly Billing Cycle that includes the April 2014 meter reading, consumption will be subject to the tiered rates established under Resolution No. 2107; in addition consumption in excess of the monthly allocation will be subject to a penalty premium of $30 per HCF. 7.3. In addition to Section 7.2, beginning with the Monthly Billing Cycle that includes the April 2014 meter reading, consumption that is 25% in excess of allocation shall result in the installation of a flow restriction device on the service lines for the Account, subject to the discretion of the General Manager, which shall be exercised on the basis of the criteria set forth in Section 9.3 of this Ordinance. Once installed, a flow restriction device will be removed only after the person responsible for the Account demonstrates to the satisfaction of the General Manager that a water management plan is in place to ensure that future consumption will not exceed monthly allocation. 7.4. In addition to Sections 7.2 and 7.3, beginning with the Monthly Billing Cycle that includes the May 2014 meter reading, if a violation of this Ordinance occurs during at least two Monthly Billing Cycles subsequent to the March Billing Cycle of the current Water Year, or in any two Monthly Billing Cycles of subsequent Water Years, the rate premium set forth in Section 7.2 shall be increased to $45 per HCF for both the second and any subsequent violation of this Ordinance during that Water Year. The repeat violation shall result in the installation of a flow restriction device on the service lines for the Account, subject to the discretion of the General Manager, which shall be exercised on the basis of the criteria set forth in Section 9.3 of this Ordinance. 7.5. In addition to Sections 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4, beginning with the Monthly Billing Cycle that includes the May 2014 meter reading, any Account that currently has a flow restriction device installed on a service line pursuant to Sections 7.3 or 7.4 that subsequently exceeds allocated consumption during any Monthly Billing Cycle in which the flow restriction device is installed shall be subject to discontinuation of water service, subject to the discretion of the General Manager, which shall be exercised on the basis of the criteria set forth in Section 9.3 of this Ordinance. Once discontinued, water service will not be restored until the person responsible for the Account demonstrates to the satisfaction of the General Manager that a water management plan is in place to ensure that future consumption will not exceed the Accounts monthly allocation. 7.6 Tampering with Flow Restriction Device. Any person who tampers with a flow restriction device that is installed on an Account line pursuant to this Ordinance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to prosecution under section 377 of the Water Code. In the event of such tampering, the Account will also be subject to discontinuation of water service. Section 8. Changes In Acreage of Land Used for Agricultural Account. An Agricultural Account holder shall not be allowed to add additional land to be served by the Agricultural Account. Section 9. Appeals and Exceptions. 9.1. Appeals. Any water user may appeal penalty rates and restrictions applicable to excessive consumption under Section 7 of this Ordinance to the Board of Directors, by filing a written appeal with District within 30 days of written notice of the penalty rates or restrictions appealed from. Such an appeal shall be accompanied by an appeal fee in an amount established from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. If a person appeals any penalty rate under this Ordinance, all amounts due must be paid before the Appeals Committee will hear the appeal, subject to the discretion of the General Manager to allow an appeal to proceed prior to payment of the disputed penalty rate. If the General Manager determines that payment is a prerequisite to appeal, the Appeals Committee may dismiss an appeal for nonpayment, making the action appealed from final as to the District. 9.2. Appeals Committee Recommendation. The Appeals Committee will hear the appellant and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors within 30 days of the filing of the appeal based on the criteria stated in Section 9.3. The Board of Directors shall consider the recommendations of the Appeals Committee. The District shall give the appellant written notice of the meetings at which the appeal will be considered by the Appeals Committee and the Board. 9.3. Board Action. Subject to the meeting schedule of the Board, an appeal shall be heard by the Board within 30 days of the date upon which the Appeals Committee makes its recommendation. The Board may, in its discretion, affirm, reverse, or modify the Appeals Committees recommendation and make any adjustments and impose any conditions it deems just and proper, if it finds two or more of the following: (1) the penalties or restrictions imposed under this Ordinance would cause an undue hardship, (2) the granting of the appeal will not significantly adversely affect the goals of this Ordinance, (3) due to peculiar facts and circumstances, none of the provisions of this Ordinance are applicable to the situation under consideration; or (4) error in the application of this Ordinance or other applicable rules or law. 9.4. Notice of Decision. The Boards decision shall be written and provided to the appellant. Such decisions are final as to the District and not subject to further appeal unless the Boards decision expressly provides otherwise. Judicial review of final decisions shall be available pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.5. Section 10. Suspension of Conflicting Ordinances and Rules and Regulations. To the extent that the terms and provisions of this Ordinance are inconsistent, or in conflict with the terms and provisions of any prior District Ordinances, Resolutions and Rules and Regulations, the terms of this Ordinance shall prevail and inconsistent and conflicting provisions of prior Ordinances, Resolutions and Rules and Regulations shall be suspended during the effective period of this Ordinance. Section 11. Allocation Adjustment. From time to time, the District may be able to obtain temporary supplies of supplemental water in excess of the amounts currently available, or the Districts water supply may increase due to a change in weather conditions. In such event, the District may allocate additional water for use in the best interest of the District, and such an additional allocation shall require an amendment to this Ordinance. Conversely, from time to time the District may determine that allocations and associated demands cannot be satisfied without depleting the water supply and jeopardizing public health and safety. In that event, the District may reduce allocations in order to reduce water demand. Such a reduction in allocation shall also require an amendment of this Ordinance. Section 12. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, that invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The Board of Directors hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases may be invalid. Section 13. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall become effective upon adoption and shall remain in effect until the Board declares that a water shortage emergency no longer exists.

Fire Station 3, as proposed, moves forward once again as AMEC revises the projects Environmental Impact Report
Coinciding with the revisions is a Standards of Cover and Risk Assessment study, which will identify service needs in Montecito. Citygate Associates, the firm performing the study, will make recommendations to the MFPD board regarding coverage. At that point the board would have the option to move forward with Fire Station Three, or not, Ventura said. It made the most sense to have the study and the EIR done concurrently. If the board does decide to continue to move forward, it would likely enter into more negotiations with the Jackson family.
Today is a critical juncture in this districts history, said Montecito Water District (MWD) president Darlene Bierig, at a special hearing on Friday, February 21. The board unanimously agreed to adopt Ordinance 93, or the Rationing Ordinance, after revising it multiple times. This program is the most fair one we can construct, Bierig said. The ordinance imposes a 30% reduction in water usage to Single Family Residences. Those going over their allocation will be subject to flow restrictions, penalties, and discontinued water service. Do not go over your allocation. We will not hesitate to turn off your water, Bierig said. The ordinance is expected to be

revised to become more restrictive as the drought continues. This is the driest year on record since the 1860s, MWD general manager Tom Mosby said. Its not about the money or the penalties, its about saving water, he explained. While Ordinance 93 is in effect immediately, MWD is giving customers a grace period in March. Beginning in April, customers who use more than their allocation will receive a smaller share in the next water year, which starts in October. Anything over your allocation gets tallied and then taken away from your allocation next year, Bierig said. A full text of the ordinance can be found beginning on page 28, and Bob Hazard has even more insight, page 5. For more information, visit www. montecitowater.com.

Diawara Wow! UCSB Arts & Lectures has long supported world music artists, often presenting performers local debuts well before they become national sensations. The roster includes many Mali musicians from Oumou Sangar to Habib Koit, and now we can add Fatouma Diawara to the list. The singer-songwriter, who was raised in Mali and now lives in Paris, is a true rising star of African music, one who incorporates ancestral Wassoulou traditions into more modern jazz, pop and funk to create an elixir that is both arresting and inspiring. Her 2012 debut album, self-titled with her nickname Fatou , was No. 1 on the European world music chart for six months, and critics have been rapturous in their reviews, with MOJO praising her as a spell-weaving new voice while the U.K. Telegraph raved [One of] the most beguiling talents to hit the world music scene in some time. Diawara, 31, isnt an overnight sensation, though, and success hasnt come easily. After she starred in Dani Kouyats popular 2001 film Sia, le rve du python (Sia, The Dream of the Python ) about a traditiondefying girl, her family forced her to announce live on Malian television that she was abandoning her career as an actress. But then she ran away to Europe to join a theater company, and it was during rehearsals that she started singing and writing songs, eventually moving into music full time. Good choice: she composed and arranged all the songs on the album, played guitar, percussion and bass; and sang
both lead and harmony. WHEN: 8 pm WHERE: UCSBs Campbell Hall COST: $25-$30 INFO: 893-3535 or www. ArtsAndLectures.UCSB.edu Launch Pad Lifts Off Raisa Brainin brought the makings of this groundbreaking program for developing theatrical works when she joined the UCSB faculty back in 2004. And while such luminous playwrights as Lila Rose Kaplan, Barbara Lebow, Sarah Ruhl, and Beau Willimon (the creator of the current Netix TV hit House of Cards) participated in previous years, Launch Pad which offers professional playwrights the chance to fully produce an original work with faculty members and guest artists among students who are hungry to learn how new plays are developed and with the time to let the work incubate was only formalized in 2010. The latest to take advantage of the opportunity is Alison Tatlock, who is workshopping Untitled IV by Ruth Markofsky, a tight six-character play that delves into family dynamics and takes place over a 24-hour period. Set in Joshua Tree where the geography reects the tones, heat, and expanse of these deep and colorful relationships the dark and funny drama features Ruth, a Boston native, who settled in the California desert to make a life for herself and her young son, adopted from Ethiopia. She gathers an eclectic group of friends and family around her as she reveals her new work and her old wounds, as the characters argue about addiction, death, motherhood, and violence. Tatlock, a stage actor turned playwright turned television writer (HBOs In Treatment, ABCs Betrayal) returns to theatrical work with this piece, which stars UCSB professor Anne Torsiglieri, Westmont and Lit
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28
Martin Sexton hasnt released any new music since the last time he came through town a couple of years back, when his 2012 Fall Like Rain EP was barely out. But really, who cares? The singer-songwriter, who is way too eclectic to classify, earned his local cred more than 15 years ago when he plied SOhO as a solo troubadour armed only with his guitar and rich baritone-tenor voice that whispers poetry or imitates a slew of instruments like a jamming jazz cat or delve into the realm of a soul shouter, and his songbook full of personal observations and tales that often feels like free-falling through time and space. Solo acoustic is how well hear him again, tonight, back at the same venue, still run by the same folks who are about to celebrate 20 years at the helm themselves. Those are the sorts of connections that make for special moments. Opening is the ne singer-songwriter Jay Nash, himself no stranger to SOhO. WHEN: 9 pm WHERE: SOhO, 1221 State Street, upstairs in Victoria Court COST: $23 in advance, $26 at the door INFO: 962-7776 or www.sohosb.com

MAW Magic John Brancy had a pretty good summer of 2013 at the Music Academy of the West in Montecito. Not only did he star as Papageno in the superb production of Mozarts The Magic Flute, he also took the top prize in the annual Marilyn Horne Song Competition. Now, the young baritone gets to enjoy some of the spoils of his victory. Together with pianist Mario Antonio Marra, who won the vocal piano side of the Horne competition, Brancy will perform the world premiere of Force by up-and-coming composer Chris Kapica, plus the popular Schumann song cycle Dichterliebe, Koljas and Nereiden from Dvoks Three Modern Greek Poems, Op. 50 and the composers M srdce asto v bolesti (My Heart is Often in Pain) from Cypresses, B. 11; and three American standards: The Nearness of You by Hoagy Carmichael, The Folks who Live on the Hill by Jerome Kern, and Night and Day by Cole Porter. Force was written specically for the recital (and two others in New York and Los Angeles) by Brancys friend and fellow Juilliard alumnus Kapica, with lyrics by another friend, poet Robert Corsini. The singer has been hailed by The New York Times as a vibrant, resonate presence with a dashing, strong-voiced baritone and has recently given recitals throughout Europe and North America, and slated to sing with the San Francisco Symphony, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and Brooklyn Art Song Society later this season. Marra, who recently had the privilege of playing a high mass on the organ of St. Peters Basilica in Vatican City, is currently on the coaching staff of the Manhattan School of Music, where he is pursuing a graduate degree under MAW and Camerata Pacica pianist Warren Jones. The recital will be followed by a Q&A session with the performers on stage conducted by Horne, the still vibrant mezzo-soprano.

Sedaris, the Sequel By now, local audiences are quite familiar with the best-selling author and satirist David Sedaris, who has been tapped for years by UCSB A&L for annual appearances at the Arlington Theatre, the biggest indoor venue in the region. Youd be hardpressed to nd those unimpressed by his droll wit and accurate assessments of the eccentrics of our time, dating back to his popular short story Santaland Diaries, the 1992 piece that Rubicon Theater brought to the stage last December. Lets Explore Diabetes with Owls, which came out last year, is the latest of his instant best-selling collection of short stories; the audio version was nominated for a Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album. In total, more than seven million copies of his books are in print and they have been translated into 25 languages. Need more? No less an authority than O, The Oprah Magazine founded by Montecitos very own Oprah Winfrey, calls Sedaris The funniest writer in America.

The Wizards of Odd Thats the theme for the 24th annual Ojai Mardi Gras celebration, a wild and wacky weekend that begins tonight with a masquerade ball featuring a costume contest, endless dancing, and a Burning Man-worthy installation by Ojai Art Fools, a loose collective of artists, sculptors, painters, and hangers-on who have spent the past months creating imaginative sets and delightful decorations that will transform the Art Center into a magical, often hysterical, bountiful visual feast called The Land of Odds. The music comes courtesy of the Ojai Mardi Gras Band, which plays New Orleans, funk, second line, soul, rock, and Cajun dance featuring an all-star lineup including Jim Calire on Hammond B-3 Organ, accordion and sax; John Zeretsky on violins, theremin and percussion; Patricia Cardinali on guitar, vocals and percussion; George Friedenthal on keyboards; Ron Seba on slide guitar, rhythm guitar and vocals; Don Cardinali on guitar; Stan Taylor on bass; Dave Stuart on drums; Burton Lang on congas and percussion; and Connie Early on vocals. The event is a tribute to its founder, former Ojai resident Lyle Mathews, an artist and healer who conceived of the celebration as a way to stimulate healing energies within herself and the community at large. The festival is held every year in her honor, and monies raised are used to benet a local charity or a resident in need. The fun continues tomorrow with the family-friendly Fais-DoDo Zydeco Dance Party featuring more live music, Cajun food, dance instruction, and an opportunity to check out the original art on display in the Ojai Art Center Gallery, where dozens of pieces featuring The Wizards of Odd theme have been created. An artist reception concludes the day at 3 pm. WHEN: 7:30 pm-1 am tonight; noon-4 pm tomorrow WHERE: Ojai Art Center, 113 South Montgomery Street COST: Tonight: $20 in advance, $25 at the door; tomorrow: $5 at the door, kids 12 and under free INFO: www.ojaimardigras.com
translating and adapting the word of Sufi mystic poet Rumi that has made him a popular literary hero. Barks interpretations of the ecstatic poetry of 13th-century Persian poet Jalal alDin Rumi have made Rumi the most widely read poet in America and among the English-speaking world, but since Barks himself neither speaks nor reads Persian, he instead bases his paraphrases on other translations, often substituting free verse for Rumis metered rhymes. Its this sort of free-form approach that makes his collaboration with David Darling , the Grammy-winning composer/cellist with a resum that includes a long stint with the Paul Winter Consort and the score for the 1992 Wim Wenders movie Until the End of the World , a perfect partnership. Darling plays his own mix of jazz, classical, country, pop, and New Age music to accompany Barks readings, which also appeared on Just Being Here: Rumi and Human Friendship , a threeCD set of recordings. Tonights theme surrounds Rumis soulful love for his friend and teacher, Shams Tabriz, which was so all-consuming that he composed more than 45,000 verses to honor the wandering mystic. Its also the focus of Barks forthcoming book, titled, as is the performance, Soul-Fury and Kindness, the Friendship of Rumi and Shams Tabriz .

A History of Violins The Vienna Philharmonic didnt make its Santa Barbara debut until 2011. Now, barely three years later, the 171-yearold orchestra founded the same year as the New York Philharmonic, Americas oldest orchestra, and widely considered among the top five in the world is returning to town. This time the veteran ensemble known for singing strings, flexible expression, and inimitable phrasing celebrated by composers from Wagner to Strauss to Previn is hunkering down in Santa Barbaras most venerable venue, the Arlington Theatre, which long hosted touring orchestras and Santa Barbaras own symphony before the reopening of the Granada ve years ago. Theyre also being led by an estimable conductor, the multiple Grammy-winning Lorin Maazel, who has collaborated with the Vienna Philharmonic for more than half a century and has conducted them for 11 internationally televised New Years concerts from Vienna (He also coincidentally served as music director of the NY Phil in 2002-09.) The orchestra will perform Schuberts Symphony No. 8 in B Minor (Unnished) and Mahlers Symphony No. 4 in G Major, with German soprano Juliane Banse as soloist.

Why does man kill? For food. And not only food; frequently there must be a beverage. Woody Allen

because youve written so many hits you could do five full concerts and never repeat a song, let alone new ones. I do try to get a couple of new ones in there. Youre damned either way, so I made a choice to give people a chance to hear new songs. But we try to play as much of my music as possible. I like people to hear all the different kinds of songs Ive written, although some are more popular than others. Alfie, A House is Not a Home, What the World Needs Now is Love, Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head you cant leave those out. I dont get tired of Alfie its a really good song and Im very proud of it. Whats the format? At the Music Academy you sang it all, but youve got a band this time. Ive got my whole band, 11 people on stage, including three singers. I dont sing much. I talk a bit about the songs. Its about doing my music for people, sharing it with people who have loved it for years so they can feel something. It makes me feel good to make others feel good.

he was like when he was younger. I wanted to make a record of my life. There are a lot of stories in the book I wanted to get out... But theres only one way to do it and thats to be open. If you want to gloss over and make yourself not look so bad, dont do it. Going back to the beginning, you and Hal David did your writing at the Brill Building, but you had a much more sophisticated approach than nearly all of the other writers there. Why was that? It was just the way I went musically, the path I chose. I didnt like rock n roll. I really didnt. It had no appeal to me. I liked the music coming out of Philadelphia, Gamble and Huff, and the stuff from Motown with Marvin Gaye and the Four Tops. Aint No Mountain High Enough that was a great song. I was attracted to the urban thing. What was that process like with him? Why did it work so well? We started off writing some pretty bad songs, actually. It was when we got control of producing the records in the studio, when we worked with Gene Pitney or Bobby Vinton and then Dionne Warwick. I started writing the orchestrations for the artists. I think theyre kind of locked together, the compositions and the arrangements. Walk On By, that was more than
the song the song got born with the arrangement. Once I got the OK to go into studio and make the records, it gave it a whole different dimension. Youre 85 with apparently no thoughts of retiring. What keeps you going? I like doing it. I really do. And its great to have my son out with me playing in the band. Its a lot of fun.

Singer-songwriters and their followers might just want to pitch a tent up in the Santa Ynez Valley February 27March 1. The main event is the annual Durango Songwriters Expo, which takes over the Wine Country Marriott in Buellton from Thursday-Saturday for a song-filled fest featuring workshops, listening sessions, panel discussions, and showcases, as well as a blowout final concert thats open to the public. Big Al Anderson, Doug Johnson, Keith Follese, Tim Fagan, and Phil ODonnell are among the artists slated for the 7:30 pm show on Saturday night. Info at (970) 259-9747 or www.durango-songwriters-expo. com Some of the songwriters, both local and national, will convene for a post-conference concert back in town at SOhO on Wednesday February 26 in a new addition to the unofficial
calendar. Expect terrific songs and fine performances in a big variety of approaches. Meanwhile, back up the mountain, two Steves sally forth at the next installment of Tales from the Tavern, as Steve Forbert, who appeared in the first season of Sings Like Hell at the Lobero, and Steve Poltz, who plied SOhO frequently in the same mid-1990s era, share the bill at the Maverick Saloon on Wednesday, March 5... Finally, Peter Case who played the very first concert in Sing Like Hells history back in 1996 shows up back at SOhO on that same Wednesday, March 5.

Were putting them up in a rented house on the Mesa, she explained. Theyre all living together for the whole week. Theyll spend all day in our dance studios, doing workshops and developing new work. And then when they go home, theyre still around each other at night, too. Ive met a lot of wonderful artists in 20 years of working in aerial, Paloma said, explaining how she picked the performers. Ive worked with each and every one of the companies in some way during my career. So I just called on the best artists that I know, ones who would have a passion for developing new and exciting work in Santa Barbara. Saturday nights final performance at the Lobero features all of the artists working with their favorite apparatus but also stretching their wings, so to speak, Paloma said. We began by allowing them to bring the architecture of new work with them, things that they are developing but havent yet debuted. With that as a base, I began finding a common thread between the groups and their pieces, how they relate to one another, how we can develop a story among them. So weve broken it down into three different phrases; each will have its own story and feel. The theme is Wonderment, the idea that you can dare to dream big and explore something fantastical. The phrases veer from playfully energetic to solemnly stark to emerging with newly reinvented energy, Paloma said. In its essence, emotions evolve that way, she said. They start with energy, go into a dark place and then re-emerge as something more thoughtful and nuanced, scarred but healed. I want to tell the emotional story and use the body as a metaphor. (Santa Barbara Centre for Aerial Arts Floor to Air Festival performance takes place at 7 pm Saturday March 1 at the Lobero Theatre, 33 West Canon Perdido Street. A gala reception follows at 9 pm.

On Sunday morning, three carillon students Ben Donlon, Alyse Herrera and Michael Rosen play music written for the instrument, as well as folk and classical music arranged for carillon, with special guest Eastern Bakery, a student-band from Isla Vista, who will perform from the observation deck up in Storke Tower... British-Australian pianist Alexander Boyd plays nearly the entirety of both books of Iberia by Isaac Albniz, plus works by Bach and Chopin, in recital at 3 pm. Elsewhere, the Metropolitan Operas Live in HD series resumes on Saturday with Borodins operatic masterpiece Prince Igor in its first Met performances since 1917. The acclaimed new production by director Dmitri Tcherniakov in his Met debut stars Ildar Abdrazakov as the heroic title character, a 12th-century ruler who defended Russia against invading Polovtsian forces. Gianandrea Noseda, a specialist in Russian music, conducts a new edition of the opera, left unfinished by the composer when he died in 1887, which has been specially created for the Met production. The 4 -hour epic was called revelatory by The New York Times. Simulcast time is 9 am at Hahn Hall here in Montecito and at the Arlington Theatre downtown.
This Magic Moment
Mike Caveney works his magic Sunday at the Lobero
Its Magic! has been playing annually at the Lobero Theater for just 15 years, but the revues roots date back nearly 60 years when two young entrepreneurs, Milt Larsen and Oliver Berliner, created a one-off, all-star magic show that grew and expanded, eventually leading to the creation of the Magic Castle, the full-time private club for magicians and magic enthusiasts that first opened its doors in Hollywood half a century ago. Larsen long ago relocated to Montecito (and more recently TV Hill), and not long after that, longtime Castle member Terry Hill convinced Larsen to revive Its Magic! as a touring show, creating what has become one of the mostloved traditions at the Lobero. This years edition, which shows at 2 and 6:30 pm on Sunday, always features a variety of acts ranging from sleight-of-hand to big-stage
Award season for the 2013 slate of films comes to a close, with the Oscar ceremony on Sunday evening, which annually draws the type of worldwide audience topped only by the Super Bowl and other football games. But for Santa Barbara residents, the broadcast can also feel a bit like a locals-only gathering. Because, as in past years, quite a few of the Academy Award winners spent some quality time in town just a few weeks ago as part of the 2014 Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF). By our count, 27 different nominees attended SBIFF, including eight whom experts are saying are virtual locks to take home one of the little golden statuettes. More TV: UCSBs Pollock Theater hosts In Treatment, featuring a screening, interactive scene workshop and reception with creators of the HBO show about a psychotherapist, played by Gabriel Byrne, who questions his abilities and seeks help by reuniting with his therapist. Director Paris Barclay, who is also president of the Directors Guild of America, joins writer Alison Tatlock (already on campus for the in-progress premiere of her new play as part of UCSBs Launch Pad [see Events Calendar]) for a post-screening Q&A followed by a scene workshop of the next episode using theater department student-actors who will be filmed by Pollock interns.
