The Debate Over Left Lane
Ramps on a Widened 101
T
he widening of the 101 in the Montecito corridor is the biggest change
facing Montecito in over sixty years, says Jack Overall, a member of the
Montecito Planning Commission (MPC) and a spokesperson for the 101
Community Coalition Plan. For the last six months, the Montecito Association
(MA) and the Community Coalition have labored relentlessly to come up with a
101 widening alternate that is less expensive, offers a shorter construction time
and would be far less disruptive to residents and businesses in Montecito.
The Community Coalition Plan for the 101

The MA/Community Coalition has asked Caltrans and elected government
leaders to allow the continuation of left-lane ramps after widening. Meetings
have been conducted with personnel from Gov. Jerry Browns office; Caltrans
District Director, Malcolm Dougherty; Rachel Falsetti, former Caltrans Acting
District 5 Director; Tim Gubbins, Caltrans Director District 5; and Bud Shuster,
former Pennsylvania 9th District Congressman, who resigned in 2001 as a mem-
ber of the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
Caltrans has evaluated the MA request for a design exception, and repeatedly
rejected it, claiming left-lane ramps, though acceptable in highway construction
30 years ago, are not deemed safe under current highway construction standards.
The Caltrans Position

Caltrans has insisted that the 101, the second or third most important north-
south highway in California, will not be widened in Montecito with left-lane on
or off ramps. Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty, the highest level official in
the state for Caltrans and an appointee of Governor Jerry Brown, sent a letter
on October 16, 2012 to the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments
(SBCAG), which was quite specific on this issue:
Members of the Montecito community are proposing a Community Coalition
Alternative for the interchanges at Hot Springs/Cabrillo and Sheffield Drive.
This proposal was also submitted during public comment to the projects
draft environmental document, and we will respond formally within the final
document. The stated goal of the proposal is to further reduce the cost and con-
struction impacts beyond what has been proposed with the five configurations
under consideration. However, the Community Coalition is not viable because
it retains existing features that contradict engineering principles for highway
safety over the long term.
It is widely documented that left-side ramps for general use have a poor
safety record and cause operational problems. With higher speed traffic flowing
in the left lane and slower moving traffic in the right lanes, drivers have learned
to expect freeway exits and entrances on the right side. Exiting or entering from
the left side creates conflicts when slower moving traffic has to merge with
higher speed traffic. This conflict is exacerbated for trucks. With an increase in
the number of freeway lanes and traffic volumes, the problems with left-side
ramps become worse. Therefore, left-side ramps are not acceptable in current
highway design practice and are systematically being removed throughout
California and the United States.
There are no viable redesign alternatives that would allow the left-side
ramps to remain. The projects environmental document studied more than 20
different interchange configurations, and eight of them were rejected because
they would perpetuate the use of left-hand ramps.
On October 18, 2012, SBCAG voted 12 to 1 to request Caltrans to evaluate the
MA/Community Coalition proposal in its response to the Draft EIR. Caltrans
was already obligated to address the MA/Community Coalition Plan based on
MA comments submitted prior to the Draft EIR public comment cutoff date of
July 9, 2012.
Legal Liability Concerns

Caltrans fears that if they approve an exception for left-lane ramps, the state
agency would be sued and lose every lawsuit involving a truck driver who
overturned his rig on a left-lane ramp, or every motorist struck by a truck, van
or car which crossed three lanes of traffic to exit on the left. The indefensible
position for Caltrans would be: We knew it was more dangerous when we built
it, but we did it anyway, but please dont find us guilty of gross negligence.

Miscellany
by Richard Mineards
Richard covered the Royal Family for Britains Daily Mirror and Daily Mail before moving to New York
to write for Rupert Murdochs newly launched Star magazine in 1978; Richard later wrote for New York
magazines Intelligencer. He continues to make regular appearances on CBS, ABC, and CNN, and
moved to Montecito five years ago.
T
he crippling cost of divorce
has already forced former
Montecito funnyman John
Cleese into crisis measures, includ-
ing launching his standup comedy
Alimony Tour and even moving to
another country.
But it would seem he is still looking
for ways to keep his finances afloat.
The former Monty Python and
Fawlty Towers star has embarked on a
massive sale of film props and signed
photos he accumulated during his
lengthy career.
Items on the Original Memorabilia
Company website include a helmet
used in Monty Python and the Holy
Grail and a treasure trove of pictures
from various sketches from his TV
series.
Its the same website the 73-year-
old actor recently used to sell his 1987
Bentley, which was bought for more
than $25,000, as I reported in this
illustrious organ.
As part of the deal he agreed to
have lunch with the Australian buyer
and give a handwritten story of some
of the cars most famous passen-
gers, including Jamie Lee Curtis and
Kevin Kline, his co-stars from the
film A Fish Called Wanda.
John, who last year married his
fourth wife, jewelry designer
Jennifer Wade, 31 years his junior,
divorced psychotherapist Alyce Faye
Eichelberger in 2008 after 16 years of
marriage.
But the breakup did not come
cheap.
He was ordered to pay nearly $20
million in finance and assets, includ-
ing $1 million annually until 2016,
and hand over an apartment in New
York and a $3 million mews house in
Londons ritzy Holland Park.
Faced with such a hefty bill, John
was also forced to sell his $10 million
beach house in our rarefied enclave
and has now set up base in Monte
Carlo to avoid a huge tax bill on the
divorce payments.
It also prompted him to embark on
his standup tour, in which he told
audiences: I am here because, frank-
ly, I have fallen on hard times having
been through a costly and acrimoni-
ous divorce. I call it the Alimony Tour
or Feeding the Beast.
John has remained friends with
his first wife, Connie Booth, who
co-wrote and starred in Fawlty Towers
with him, and his second wife,
American actress Barbara Trentham...
Bolting Bortz
Stanford professor emeritus, Walter
Bortz, is a man on the run!
Walter, 82-year-old father of
Montecito socialite Gretchen Lieff,
has participated in more than 50 mar-
athons, including three times in New
York and 15 times in Boston.
He will be running again in
Massachusetts on April 15.
Hopefully it wont be too taxing!
he joked when he gave a talk at the
Coral Casino on aging.
Walter, former president of the
American Geriatric Society, has writ-
ten eight books, including We Live
Too Short and Die Too Long and The
Roadmap to 100: The Breakthrough
Science of Living a Long and Healthy Life.
I have a sense of mission, he
says. You cant escape it, but aging
is negotiable. Are you a resource or a
liability?
We dont die accidentally, we die of
choice. It is about maintaining your-
self. Use it or lose it. Fitness is an age
offset. There is no expiration date to
getting better.
Walter, who was with his wife, Ruth,
82, another marathon runner, says he
lifts weights and runs ten to 15 miles
three times a week.
Now PBS has approached him about
doing a series for the network.
Among those listening to his sage
advice were Carter and Victoria
Hines, Marilyn McMahon, Beverley

boost his bank balance

Nothing But Smiles

Philanthropic Montecito couple
Robert Feinberg and his wife, Margo,
are being featured in print and TV
ads for their friend and longtime den-
tist, Mark Weiser.
He said hed always wanted to get
some pictures of his work and asked
us if wed mind, explains Robert,
an inveterate traveler and keen rack-
eteer.
We just said to go ahead and we
did them last month.
After being featured locally in print
ads, the dynamic duo are now in
commercials on KEYT-TV, the ABC
affiliate, and certainly have a lot to
smile about.
We seem to be getting a lot of
recognition, says Robert. Even the
FedEx man recognized us!

The best little paper in America
(Covering the best little community anywhere!)
T
hank you for your beautiful
piece, The Friends of Sammy
(MJ # 19/2), that focused on
the tremendous loving kindness of
Sarah House, which took care of our
friend Judith Sammy Case in her
final illness. Sammy passed away on
Saturday, January 19, but not before
knowing of the phenomenal outpour-
ing of community support and love
that came her way via your words
in Montecito Journal. Our goal was to
raise $10,000 for Sarah House, and
we are now at $27,000 and climbing!
We thank Luckys (where Sammy
worked for years) for the incredibly
generous $5,000 sent, and we thank
the benefactress who sent $15,000
with a note, Please dont send a
thank you note! Montecito Journal
has done something wonderful for
Sarah House, which is a jewel in the
Santa Barbara community that not
only took care of Sammy, but all of
us, too. Thank you from all of us!

Re-Writing History
Regarding the letter from Ernie
Solomon (He Fears The Nut Cases
MJ # 19/4); The Republican party
was founded in 1854 to combat the
Kansas Nebraska act which threat-
ened to extend slavery into the ter-
ritories. The Ku Klux Klan was an
outgrowth of the Democratic Party,
sometimes with overlapping member-
ships. Robert Byrd (Democrat, West
Virginia) was one of the most pow-
erful U.S. Senators ever. He was the
longest serving Senator (1959-2010)
and was Senate Majority leader from
1977 to 1981, and 1987 to 1989. He was
also a member of the Ku Klux Klan.

LETTERS Page 204
George Wallace (Democrat, Alabama)
ran for president as a segregationist.
Every major piece of civil rights leg-
islation was passed by Republicans
and fought by Democrats. According
to Dr. Alveda King, her grandfather
Dr. Martin Luther King was a
Republican, as was her uncle, Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. She says, It
should be no surprise that Dr. King
was a Republican. Why? It was the
Democrats who Dr. King was fight-
ing and he would not have joined the
Democratic Party.
Mr. Solomons views, sadly, are
prevalent in society today. Is this lack
of knowledge of our own history a
reflection on our subpar schools or a
commentary on how biased and dis-
torted the media is?
John Pate
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: Good question, John.
The Democrat party that ruled the Solid
South for nearly a hundred years after
the Civil War installed official racism in
its region to replace what had been legal
slavery. The Southern Democrats aligned
themselves with northern Democrat liber-
als; their unholy alliance solidified FDRs
government-centered recovery efforts
during the Great Depression, while allow-
ing Jim Crow laws to fester and flourish
in the South. After the Civil Rights Act
was passed in 1964 with the help of nearly
80% of Republicans voting for it and most
Southern Democrats voting against it,
and as black southerners gained increased
participation in the political life of the
South, Democrats who already felt quite
comfortable with racist policies intro-
duced racism in reverse Affirmative
Action thereby garnering the vote of the
very people the party had held down for
so long. It was an impressive achievement
and as history books are now written,
one would be hard-pressed to learn that
George Wallace, Orville Faubus, fire hose-
wielding Commissioner of Public Safety
Eugene Bull Connor, Robert Byrd, Al
Gore Sr., and the rest of the Southern rac-
ists were all Democrats. Just as one would
be hard-pressed to learn that Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. Bias?
Perhaps. Negligent? To say the least.
Duplicitous? You bet. J.B.)
Thank God
For Jim Alexander
As I was entering the Arlington
Theatre to attend SBIFFs tribute to
Daniel Day-Lewis, I thought I spot-
ted Jim Alexander out of the corner of
my eye. The theater was packed, so as
soon I put my jacket down to save my
seat I ventured outside to see if I could
meet Jim and tell him how much I
enjoy his column.
I remember when I moved to Santa
Barbara twelve years ago. I was wait-
ing in line for something and picked
up a copy of Montecito Journal. I came
across the column n.o.t.e.s. from down-
town. I have been picking up copies of
the MJ ever since, with the hope that it
is the week of Mr. Alexanders column.
I was fighting off sleep as I listened
to Daniel Day-Lewis drone on and on
and I reflected that it had indeed been
a great night in spite of my present
state of boredom. I got to meet the best
humor columnist in America. I only
regret that I havent written to you
sooner to thank you for publishing his
column. Thank you MJ and thank you
Mr. Alexander for all the laughter.
Sincerely,
Ty Saxby
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: Well, we are pleased to
learn you were spared from the tedium
of Mr. Day-Lewiss interview, as I was
not spared from the boredom of Lincoln,
the movie he starred in. When people ask
what I thought of it, I have told them
I would have enjoyed the movie much
more if my wife hadnt kept waking me
up by poking me in the ribs with her
elbow every time I started to snore. I do
believe that Mr. Day-Lewis deserves and
shall surely win this years Academy
Award as Best Actor. However, Lincoln
wasnt so much a movie as it was a
glacial. I have since renamed it Dead
Man Walking. As for Mr. Alexander, we
are also pleased to learn that you enjoy his
column. However, is that the only reason
you pick up Montecito Journal? We hope
not! J.B.)

It would be unlikely that Helene Schneider would ask the taxpayers of Santa
Barbara to share the legal liability with Caltrans for accidents related to left-
lane ramps at Cabrillo Blvd. It is also unlikely that Salud Carbajal and Santa
Barbara County taxpayers would be willing to share liability for left-lane ramp
accidents at Sheffield Drive in a widened 101. Will Governor Brown override
his engineers professional opinion on a matter of public safety and support
the MA/Community Coalition proposal to retain left lane ramps? The MA/
Community Coalition is hopeful of Governor Browns support.
Forecasting Future Accident Rates
Caltrans and the MA/Community Coalition have competing views on the
public safety of left-lane ramps in a widened highway. Jack Overall suggests
that the highway public safety danger may be greater in Fresno or Bakersfield,
but it is lessened in Montecito because our ramps are used primarily by local
residents. Caltrans notes that the guests in hotels along the beach, or visitors
to the Fiesta Parade or Summer Solstice, or beach goers, or the drivers of hotel
and restaurant delivery trucks are not all local residents using the Cabrillo/Hot
Springs interchange.
Overall also notes that the accident statistics for the existing left-lane ramps in
Montecito are as good or better than right-lane ramps. Caltrans responds that,
with the addition of a new high-speed third lane in each direction, the potential
accident rate for left-lane ramps increases dramatically because slow-speed on-
ramp vehicles are merging into high-speed freeway traffic, and slow-speed right
lane vehicles have to cross two lanes of higher-speed traffic to exit on the left.
High Risk Poker

At the end of the day, what happens if Caltrans continues to say no to left-
lane ramps? The challenge facing Montecito is that because the Cabrillo inter-
change lies wholly within the boundaries of Santa Barbara, Caltrans will ask
the City of Santa Barbara and SBCAG to accept its recommended interchange
alternative at Cabrillo/Hot Springs. The City of Santa Barbara Planning still has
to certify the final EIR before issuing permits. Similarly County Planning has to
issue Coastal Commission permits for the Countys section of the 101, giving
the planning commissions some influence over the final outcome.
The MA/Community Coalition could persist in its opposition and challenge
the Caltrans final EIR in court. Faced with added delay and an uncertain out-
come, Caltrans could well shift state and federal highway funding away from
the Montecito corridor to other badly needed highway projects in the state that
would welcome its transportation dollars. An editorial by Dan Walters in the
Santa Barbara News-Press on January 23, 2013 stated that California has $538
billion in unfunded transportation needs.
For Montecito residents, this could mean that the 101 widening funding for
our community would continue in its present unfunded time warp, and we
would have to live permanently with a two-lane gridlocked freeway. In the
early 90s we foolishly turned down Caltrans offer to fund the widening of
the 101 through Montecito, a result we have regretted ever since. It will be
interesting to see how negotiations between Caltrans and the MA/Community
Coalition play out over the next ten months. The ultimate question is, What is
best for our community? MJ

Fire Station 3 Delayed
Village Beat
by Kelly Mahan

A
t their board meeting on
Monday, January 28, the
Montecito Fire District Board
of Directors voted 3-1 to withdraw
their application for Fire Station 3 from
the Montecito Planning Commission
hearing scheduled for February 27.
The move, which was supported by
new directors Abe Powell and Susan
Keller, as well as board president
John Venable, will allow the district
to re-evaluate several factors related
to the new fire station.
Directors Keller and Powell (new
director Gene Sinser is recused from
discussing Fire Station 3 due to his
proximity to the proposed location)
have been vocal about wanting to
thoroughly evaluate the finances,
response times and alternative options
related to building another fire station
in Montecito. Also on Monday, the
board established three new commit-
tees for Finance, Strategic Planning,
and Public Relations. In the past, com-
mittees were not an option due to hav-
ing only three members on the board.
The decision to withdraw the appli-
cation is supported by Montecito
Agricultural Foundation (MAF), a
group of nearby homeowners who
have questioned the need for the sta-
tion and feel the project is out of scale
with the community. MAF has called
the Districts Environmental Impact
Review (EIR) of the project into ques-
tion, claiming it did not include all the
facts.
According to Joe Cole, MAFs attor-
ney, the move to withdraw the appli-
cation will give the new and existing
board members in light of signifi-
cant changes over the past 10 years in
demographics, finances, emergency
risk patterns, development and other
material circumstances to have the
good faith opportunity to fully evalu-
ate the MFPDs provision of existing
services across the community. It will
also allow the opportunity to assem-
ble, understand and share transpar-
ently with the community complete
information crucial for the new board
to fully evaluate the MFPDs proposal
for a new fire station, he explained in
a letter to the board. He says the direc-
tors, as well as Chief Hickman, who
has been Chief for less than a year,
need to evaluate the new stations
size, features, and costs, both to con-
struct and to operate, and to consider
whether there may be other poten-
tially more appropriate and affordable
alternatives.
The project, to be located on the
Palmer Jackson property on the 2500
block of East Valley Road, includes
plans for parking, living quarters,
administrative offices, apparatus bays,
a 35-foot hose-drying tower, and two
driveways. The station, which MFPD
says is needed to lessen response

times on the east end of Montecito,
will also have a training component
on the property.
On March 5, Santa Barbara Superior
Court Judge Thomas Anderle
is expected to decide whether the
California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) document associated
with the project is adequate as part
of the litigation between MAF and
MFPD. The Judge will rule whether
or not the EIR needs more information
added, and whether it will need to be
re-circulated. According to MFPDs
Geri Ventura, the District plans on
resubmitting the application with
the Montecito Planning Commission
upon learning Judge Anderles deci-
sion. In the meantime, the newly
formed committees will take a closer
look at the ins and outs of the project
and any possible alternatives to it.
Miramar
Site Demolished
Last week, developer Rick Caruso
held a press conference on the
grounds of the 16-acre site where he
hopes to eventually rebuild his ver-
sion of the Miramar Resort. Caruso,
along with his team, Santa Barbara
County First District Supervisor
Salud Carbajal, and representatives
from the Montecito Association, held
the meeting to mark the end of demo-
lition of the former buildings on the
property, which had been vacant and
rotting for nearly 12 years.
We are still one hundred percent
committed to this and one hundred
percent excited, Caruso said. The
approved plans for the resort call for
over 180 guest rooms, a full spa, three
restaurants, and full banquet facilities
on the property, which boasts 600 feet
of oceanfront real estate. It doesnt
get much better than this, Caruso
said.
While Carusos team works on the
design details, the building of the
resort has stalled due to an impasse at
the county level.
In July 2012, the Santa Barbara
County Board of Supervisors
approved a countywide Hotel
Incentive Program (HIP), in which
the county could pay back hoteliers
the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
earned at their hotel for the first sev-
eral years of operation. The Miramar
project was rejected from the program
in October 2012 when Carusos team
was unable to come to an agreement
with the county and County Executive
Officer Chandra Wallar.
At issue is the fact that the county
will not agree to a 15-year commit-
ment to pay the rebate. It says that not
stipulating an annual review of the

in it had a lot of folks who
wanted to peek inside as the
Arlington filled up with fans. You
didnt have to be a Trekkie to enjoy the
full two hours of this one-man show
presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures.
At the preshow there were a couple
of Vulcan High Priestesses as well as a
Romulan and a Borg strolling around
the outdoor lobby. They had entered
the costume contest trying to win
two one-day passes to the Star Trek
Convention in Los Angeles. Judges
were D. J. Palladino from the Santa
Barbara Independent, Carla Hoffman
from Metro Comics and Ted Coe from
KCSB 91.9 FM.
Before entering Shatners World,
Miller McCune executive director
Celesta M. Billeci welcomed spon-
sors, donors at all levels, audience
members, subscribers and students.
The curtain rose to a star-studded sky
and a scene of space projected on a
screen. William Shatner kept us riv-
eted acting out vignettes of his 50-year
career as an award-winning actor,
director, producer, writer, recording
artist and horseman.
In spite of his varied career, he is
still most beloved for originating the
role of Captain James T. Kirk in the
television series Star Trek and thats
okay with him. He is a prolific writer
as well, having authored about 30
bestsellers, both fiction and non-fic-
tion. His last book, Shatner Rules, was
published in 2011.
Shatner breeds American Quarter

pions winning many equine events.

new Members
Luncheon
The Santa Barbara Museum of Art
(SBMA) Womens Board held their
annual new members luncheon at
the Santa Barbara Club. The garden
room was full and the 15 new recruits
were the biggest group in years.
They are Jen Barton, Berta Binns,
Melanie Brewer, Gayle Cummings,
Jane Dailey, Catey Dunkley, Jeanne
Fulkerson, Lorry Hubbard, Diane
McQuarie, Fran Morrow, Holly
Murphy, Roz Rosin, Helene Segal,
Cindy Steffen and Carolyn Williams.
As vice president Cecia Hess said,
This new membership mix of busi-
ness owners, art enthusiasts, corpo-
rate executives and community lead-
ers will be a great catalyst for produc-
ing the Womens Boards next major
fundraising event the wildly popu-
lar Mystery in Masterpieces, to be
held on June 1, 2013.
President Mary Maxwell wel-
comed former presidents, members
and guests saying, If you cant hear
me in the back, raise your hand.
This is the only time of year I get to
thank the whole group, the Robert
and Mercedes Eichholz Director of
SBMA Larry J. Feinberg told the audi-
ence. The museum works with sev-
eral groups but according to Larry the
Womens Board does the most. You
have moxie and you do fun events
which the museum gets credit for,
added Feinberg.
The Womens Board was founded in
1951, just ten years after the Museum
of Art opened. They contribute funds,
which go to programs and education-
al activities, but they also underwrite
exhibitions and purchase works of art
for the permanent collection.
The luncheon committee was co-
chairs Karen Chin and Catherine
Clark along with Kathy Weber. They
want you to save the date on June 1 for
the Who? What? Where? event at the
museum Mystery in Masterpieces.
Therell be clue sheets and prizes
along with lavish hors doeuvres and
cocktails, and you get to be a sleuth
for a night.
St. Cecilia Fund
Though its always been a secular
organization, the St. Cecilia Society
does meet in a church and have a saint
for a name. This was because the ladies
who organized the group in 1891 were
all musicians and St. Cecilia is the
patron saint of music. They formed a
small orchestra and gave benefit con-
certs to raise funds to assist patients
at the new Cottage Hospital. Today,
we have a new Cottage Hospital once
again.
The St. Cecilia Society is the old-
est charitable organization in Santa
Barbara. The board this year changed
the name to the St. Cecilia Fund to
further secularize it. This is a group
where you can pay your dues and
not do anything except come to the
annual tea.
In over 100 years there has never
been any paid staff. Instead, a board
works throughout the year. They are
president Tish Gainey, Ann Conway,
Sallie Coughlin, Mary Garton, Susan
Johnson, Ladeen Miller, Nikki
Rickard, Heidi Rose and Sigrid Toye.
Nikki is the case investigator for low-
income people asking for funds. She
reviewed 118 cases in 2012 and 105
were approved.
Last year the Womens Fund gave a
grant specifying that it only be used for
dental care. No other group in Santa

Family Affair
As Argo director and Golden Globe
winner, Ben Affleck, was receiving
the Santa Barbara International Film
Festivals Modern Master Award from
his friend and co-star, Matt Damon,
at the Arlington, Oscar winner Jeff
Bridges was just a tiaras toss or two
down the road celebrating his daugh-
ter Hayleys new store, Industry
Home.
Hayley, the youngest of Jeff and
wife Susans daughters, has part-
nered with her boyfriend, Andrew
Hernandez, his brother, Peter, and
Thomas Masker to open the charm-
ing emporium, just across from De La
Guerra Plaza, which features reconsti-
tuted furniture and housewares.
Peter, a Westmont graduate, and
Andrew, a UCLA student, started the
business as Brothers of Industry a
couple of years ago, working in the
garage of their Montecito parents,
David, a physician at Westmont, and
Kate, a former Summerland antiques
dealer.
We started out making things for
her and it blossomed from there, says
Peter. We were using old wood from
a guy we knew in L.A. and were pro-
ducing a table and a light each week.
Weve now partnered with him and
have an 8,000 square foot workshop
in Carpinteria with ten employees
producing eighty-two tables weekly.
As to the shop, well see how it
goes. Its a great location and Hayley
is doing a lot of the design.
Industry Home furniture retails
from $600 to $10,000 for custom
designed pieces...
Across the Pond with Speidi
It seems that Santa Barbara two-
some, Spencer Pratt and Heidi
Montags attention grabbing behavior
on the British TV reality show Celebrity
Big Brother is paying dividends.
The publicity seeking duo, who rose
to fame on MTVs The Hills, have
reportedly landed their own U.K.-
based reality show after narrowly los-
ing the Big Brother winners trophy
last week.
A major TV company is said to have
lined up the drama loving pair for a
new series, which would see the cou-
ple traveling around Britain poking
fun at local manners and traditions.
Speidi have been TV gold on Big
Brother and are clearly no fans of the
British, says a source.
It makes perfect sense for them to
bag their own explosive series in the
U.K.
Previously the pair have been
bemoaning their economic lot, with
Pratt admitting on Big Brother: I had
to step up and pay my bills!
Stay tuned...

into the roundabout. According to
CCAP spokespersons at the meeting
on January 22, Caltrans planned traf-
fic light (F- Modified Plan) at the inter-
section of the off-ramp with Cabrillo
would cause a blockage. (At the pres-
ent time there is a stop light to beach-
directed traffic and no traffic back-
up.) Therefore CCAP recommends
bringing all traffic, both beach and
Montecito directed, directly into the
roundabout, in which case the round-
about would have to be enlarged.
I would like to suggest that, if
there were two lanes at the proposed
Cabrillo stoplight the right one for
Montecito roundabout traffic and
the left for beach traffic (such as the
Carrillo and Mission off-ramps in
town) there would be no need for
a costly expansion of the roundabout,
and normal Montecito traffic could
continue as is without the addition
of the many vehicles en route to the
beach.
Sincerely,
Edith Tipple
Montecito
(Editors note: CCAPs plan is inter-
esting as far as its attempt to leave in
place the two left-hand southbound exits
at Cabrillo-Hot Springs and Sheffield is
concerned. The proposal to convert Los
Patos to a southbound ingress onto 101,
however, is seriously flawed. J.B.)
Poor Little Los Patos
After months of time and seri-
ous negotiation with Caltrans, the
Montecito Association seems to have
offered a viable plan for making the
new freeway through Montecito less
expensive, less time consuming and
less intrusive. The only hang-up that
many people are concerned with is the
intrusion on Los Patos by the bird
refuge. This early proposed south-
bound entrance is not only awkward
but would cause many dire results for
the small community of shops, restau-
rants and birds. I hope everyone in the
planning stages realizes the negative
aspect of this alternative, and perhaps
enters the southbound freeway south,
in front of the cemetery, where there
are no buildings or businesses.
At least, inform concerned citizens
that spoiling Los Patos is not the
intent.
Sincerely,
Maxi Decker
Montecito
Lets Work Together
I attended the January 22, 2012
Montecito Association Community
Forum after receiving the email from
Victoria Greene, executive director
of the Montecito Association, asking
citizens to attend the forum where MA
would accept input, answer ques-
tions and identify how you (neigh-
bors) can help with efforts to move the
right project forward.
The presentation both verbally and
visually failed to describe what their
plan was in detail. It only said Our
101 Community Coalition Alternative
Plan (CCAP) will take less than two
years to construct, will keep all on-
ramps and off-ramps open during
construction, and will save $50 mil-
lion dollars. They went on to ask for
money to hire consultants (read law-
yers) and PR people.
But, what is the plan and who are the
experts that have drawn it up? The visu-
als shown do not suffice. I was told
the details are on the website. Well,
they arent.
Since the HOV widening project was
presented by Caltrans in 2010, many
citizens have been seeking a solution
that would work best for Montecito
and still achieve an improved flow of
traffic on the 101. We had hoped the
south-bound left exit could be retained
but it became abundantly clear that
wasnt an option. We asked for further
options. Caltrans heard our voices and
presented Modified F and Modified M.
Perhaps at that time it would
have been wise for the Montecito
Association to have hired an objective
expert to study the options and recom-
mend something workable. Instead
they formed the transportation sub-
committee, with well meaning, but by
no means experts or objective think-
ers, who continued to pursue what
was becoming an obviously unwork-
able solution. There was no dialogue
of ideas, nor an outreach to all citizens
who were directly affected by final
decisions. Members of this committee
treated the public input with derision
and excluded interested parties from
their meetings.
Certainly there are valid concerns
expressed by the supporters of CCAP
that we can all agree on. Design mod-
ifications can be worked out with
Caltrans. If we can just stop hedging
the truth, insulting and yelling at each
other, we would realize we have simi-
lar concerns. Lets work on realistic
solutions together.
I am deeply saddened by Montecito
citizens lack of desire to try to be
more informed. Fellow neighbors: ask
the hard questions, get the details and
do the research. What is the history
here? Money donated to MA could be
well spent to work with Caltrans, hire
an outside expert & mediator to work
through design modifications unique
to our areas special needs and keep-
ing within the standards of Caltrans.
It will delay the project but should get
a good result for a beautiful project
that will not only serve Montecito, but
enhance it for the next 50 years!

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot on Display
by Scott Craig
T
he works of Jean-Baptiste-
Camille Corot, the most influen-
tial French landscape painter in
the late 19th century, will be displayed
in the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum
of Art from January 31-March 23. A
free, public reception for the exhi-
bition, Jean-Baptiste-Camille
Corot: The Lady Leslie Ridley-Tree
Collection in the Context, will feature
live French music Thursday, January
31, from 4-6 pm at the museum.
Leslie Ridley-Tree has donated 10
paintings, 12 lithographs and a draw-
ing by Corot to the exhibition. The
museum will also feature works on
loan from Michael Armand Hammer,
Robert and Chris Emmons, Howard
and Roberta Ahmanson, the Santa
Barbara Museum of Art and other
prestigious collections that place
Ridley-Trees works into the context
of nineteenth century art.
Judy L. Larson, director of the
museum and curator of the exhibition,
has worked with a team of scholars
to produce a 150-page catalog that
includes essays by Larson, along with
Amy Kurlander, a Corot scholar from
Houston; Charlene Garfinkle, secre-
tary of the Association of Historians
of American Art; and entries by Laura
diZerega, a UC Santa Barbara gradu-
ate student, and Brandon Waybright,
Westmont museum outreach and edu-
cation coordinator.
Three experts will speak at
a symposium, Jean-Baptiste-
Camille Corot: Conversations about
Connoisseurship, Saturday, February
9 from 10 am to noon in Winter Halls
Darling Foundation Lecture Hall
(Room 210) at Westmont. The talk
includes Kurlander, Scott Allan, asso-
ciate curator at the Getty Museum,
and Jill Newhouse, a New York gal-
lery owner and editor of a definitive
catalog on Corots drawings.
Corots work celebrates the ethe-
real beauty of nature, Larson says.
Corot was an influential leader
among the Barbizon artists. He loved
to paint the sunrise and sunset and
is among the first landscape painters
to capture the specifics of weather
and atmosphere by going directly to
nature and painting en plein air.
The Dutch post-Impressionist painter
Vincent van Gogh owned a Corot paint-
ing and praised Corots figure paintings.
Picasso saw a selection of Corots figur-
al works at the 1909 Salon DAutomne,
which likely served as the inspiration of
his own classical female figures holding
mandolins or violins a direct bor-
rowing from Corot, Waybright says.
Monet himself praised Corot, calling
him the only master. We are nothing to
him, nothing
We hope to communicate Corots
love and appreciation of nature by
sharing these paintings with our stu-
dents and community on the beauti-
ful Westmont campus. We also hope
that his work will open eyes to the
natural world that surrounds us. For
art students, there can be few better
ways to learn about how to capture
a landscape in movement than by
encountering the work of Corot.
The museum is open Monday
through Friday from 10 am to 4 pm
and 11 am to 5 pm on Saturdays. It
is closed Sundays and college holi-
days. For more information, please

Holiday Haulers
Honored
The Holiday Haulers, a group
of business owners and volunteers
founded by Lisa Cullen of Montecito
Landscape, were honored last week
by the Foodbank and Santa Barbara
County. For the last few years, the
group has picked up and delivered
agreement goes against state laws that
prohibit taking on long-term indebt-
edness, while Caruso maintains that
not committing to the 15 years essen-
tially defeats the purpose of the rebate
plan. The Hotel Incentive Program
is critical to getting the financing we
need, Caruso said, adding that the
stalemate with the county will cause
the building timeline to slip.
Caruso said he hoped to break
ground on the project in 2014, with
doors open by 2016, but that financ-
ing remains an unresolved issue.
We would love to see this project
built sooner rather than later, said
Supervisor Carbajal, who noted that
talks between the county with the
Caruso team regarding the HIP are
still in the works. In the meantime,
Supervisor Carbajal thanked Caruso
for demolishing the buildings, a move
many Montecito residents had been
asking for. Youve taken away the
eyesore, and we thank you, he said.

Barbara addresses dental. Referrals
come from various sources like the
County Health Department, schools,
police and assisted living homes. St.
Cecilia can frequently get a discount-
ed price on the services. One recipient,
after receiving $6,000 for dental, said,
No one has ever done anything that
nice for me. Before receiving the pro-
cedure, she always covered her mouth
she was so ashamed. Amounts vary
from as little as $15 for a co-pay to sev-
eral thousand, excluding catastrophic
expenses.
Dr. Peter Hassler from the County
of Santa Barbara Public Health
Department spoke to the group at
All Saints-by-the-Sea Church, which
lends the church for the tea. He told
us, Santa Barbara County has one of
the highest amounts of poor kids in
the state because of North County.
The County Department sees 30,000
patients with 120,000 visits a year.
Instead of horses and carriages, the
ladies now have cell phones and com-

new Foundation
Helps People and
Their Pets
L
ong-time Montecito resident
Diana Basehart loves animals,
and her heart breaks for people
who lack the funds to adequately care
for their pets.
In response to the needs of pet own-
ers, Diana Basehart recently started a
foundation which exists to help elders
and others on limited incomes care
for and keep their beloved animals
by providing support for veterinary
and nutritional needs, while also mini-
mizing the number of animals being
turned over to shelters. While there is
great wealth within our community,
there are also many people who are
struggling financially due to the down-
turn in the economy and the high cost
of housing. Even people with jobs can
often find it impossible to put aside
savings. With no money to spare, a
medical emergency can quickly turn
into a catastrophe. Thankfully, if you or
a family member needs urgent medical
care you will not be turned away from
a hospital, regardless of your ability to
pay unless your family member is
of the four legged variety. Your family
pet is likely to be refused emergency
treatment unless you can pay the bill
upfront and in full. Diana Basehart
regularly hears from people who can-
not afford to pay the bill upfront, forc-
ing them to make an unbearable choice
either let their beloved pet suffer or
die due to lack of treatment, or have
them euthanized.
The foundation gets calls from peo-
ple asking for help each and every day.
While it would love to be in a position
to help all those who need it, for now
Diana compares it to a triage approach
where they have to decide who is in
the most urgent need of assistance and
what they can afford to take on.
Diana understands that it is the
right time to take on this challenge
because so many people have fallen
onto hard times. While the founda-
tion often helps those who are elderly
or disabled, she stresses that we all
interact on a daily basis with everyday
people whose plight goes unnoticed.
These people are our neighbors, our
co-workers and our friends. The Diana
Basehart Foundation recently helped a
woman whose dog desperately needed
orthopedic surgery. The woman is not
homeless or unemployed. She works
for the county and lives in a modest
apartment, but lacked the funds nec-
essary to pay for her dogs expensive
surgery. Her beloved companion was
suffering and losing his ability to walk.
The woman agonized over her dogs
plight. Thankfully, The Diana Basehart
Foundation came to her rescue.
Diana has a long history as an ani-
mal advocate. Back in 1970, she start-
ed Actors and Others for Animals in
Hollywood. At that time, there were no
celebrities involved in animal rights.
Diana knew that her husband, actor
Richard Basehart, had the fame and
notoriety to reach celebrities who could
make an impact on the public and raise
awareness of animal rights. It has been
41 years since she started Animals and
Others for Animals and it is still going
strong. They help other animal orga-
nizations that are struggling, have a
massive neuter and spay program and
put on grand fundraising events every
year. Diana recalls that their first fun-
draising event was held at her daugh-
ters school.
In December, the Diana Basehart
Foundation held a successful fundrais-
er at a Montecito estate. It was a rainy
day but that didnt deter animal lov-
ers from both Los Angeles and Santa
Barbara from attending. Although it
was a great success, the need for addi-
tional funding is great and ongoing.
If you are a person who understands
the deep love shared by animals and
their owners, please consider mak-
ing a donation to the Diana Basehart
Foundation. Any amount, large or
small, would be greatly appreciated.
Diana is also hoping that local veterinar-
ians will be interested in working coop-
eratively with her foundation. For more
information, visit www.basehart.org.

What was the most challenging part of
the shoot?
Having only thirty-three days for
a 155-page script. Just being able to
shoot it the way we wanted to in such
a short time. But it was also exciting
for the movie. There was no down
time. Every second demanded full
focus and energy and excitement from
everyone on the cast and crew. And
every day had a least one phenom-
enal scene if not more. When youre
on a big movie you can go a long
time doing nothing of substance, no
memorable moments. But this was big
stuff every day. That got everyone all
jazzed.
David O. Russell likes to rewrite on the
set. Did that pose any difficulties?
No, the opposite. Even Robert De
Niro said he thought the lines that
as they were originally written were
amazing, and then he gets the new
pages in real time and found them
even more incredible. All the actors
have talked about how every change
he made helped them to feel even
more in their characters. That started
on day one. So as a producer it
makes my job even easier, because
hes making stuff thats already
great even better. And hes extreme-
ly collaborative, so as a producer
Im busy; he wants my opinion on
everything.
Any idea of what youll talk about on
the panel this week?
Well see where things go. But its
a great group of producers this year.
Kathy Kennedy was my mentor on
my first movie (The Color Purple). She
taught me everything I know about
producing. And the way its turned
out, all three times Ive been nominat-
ed for an Academy Award, she has
too. Its also great to meet the people
I didnt know before, and make new
friends in the business.
David Womark
(Life of Pi)
Q. I know the movie had a long devel-
opment. Where did you come in on the
process?
A. Ive been on this journey for three
years. Once the first draft was writ-
ten and the studio was excited, I was
brought on board because its so com-
plicated. Ang Lee had already cap-
tured the essence of everything. And
there was a creative template. Then
we spent ten months with a small
group of people figuring out how to
make the movie in a practical sense.
Shooting in 3-D, on water, with a CGI
tiger, young actors That all seems
fairly complex. What were the most chal-
lenging aspects to making the movie and
how were they overcome? Was there ever
a point where things were not coming
together?
When you work with someone like
Ang, whos a very strong force, its
the daunting task of all of those ele-
ments, but creatively youve also got
to deliver a movie that maintains the
artistic essence of the book, but is still
commercial enough to sell because of
the big investment. I do think that was
in Angs head too all the time, and
that drove all the decisions. So with
the ocean scenes, we did an animated
movie of all the parts on the water.
He wanted each scene to have its own
signature that would give you the
passage of time. But there has been
a tradition in filmmaking in water
Waterworld, Master and Commander
of major production headaches and
budget issues. And since this wasnt a
potential sci-fi franchise or with a big
movie star, we had to control every-
thing by shooting it in a tank. But
then there are the long scenes in open
space where you need to have swells

Bradley Cooper stars in Silver Linings Playbook; producer Bruce Cohen will take part in the SBIFF
Producers Panel on Saturday, February 2
Week Two Preview:
Producers Panel
SBIFF 2013
by Steven Libowitz
T
he actors and actresses draw the
huge crowds at SBIFF, of course,
followed by the directors and
writers, whose seminars on the first
Saturday attracted big audiences to
the Lobero last week for spirited dis-
cussions on the process of creating the
scripts and the vision to capture them
on film. Somewhere down at the other
end of the spectrum are the produc-
ers, who operate even further behind
the scenes and with whom audiences
cant really put a finger on what they
do.
But aside from the fact that the
producers are the last folks standing
at the podium on Oscar night when
the final Academy Award for Best
Picture is handed out, the jobs can
be very hands-on positions, ranging
from raising the money to serving as a
buffer between the set and the studio
to handling day to day issues from
scheduling to planning to anchoring
the creative team in making critical
decisions on everything from camera
placement to script changes.
SBIFFs producers panel this year is
about as high-powered and varied
as they come, what with seven of the
nine current best picture Oscar nomi-
nees duking it out on the stage of the
Lobero at 11am Saturday. (Three more
producers of Academy Award nomi-
nated films Django Unchaineds Pilar
Savone, Braves Katherine Sarafian
and Frankenweenies Allison Abbate
join Beasts of the Southern Wild co-
screenwriter Lucy Alibar and others
on the Women in the Biz panel at 2pm
at the Lobero.)
We talked with three of the produc-
ers over the phone to preview the
panel: Bruce Cohen who worked
with Sam Mendes (American Beauty),
Gus Van Sant (Milk), and Tim Burton
(Big Fish) prior to teaming up with
David O. Russell (The Fighter) for
Silver Linings Playbook; David Womark,
whose only other credit as a full pro-
ducer was One More Chance back in
1983 before he signed on to Life of Pi;
and Django Unchaineds Stacey Shur,
whose extensive credits include Erin
Brockovich, Get Shorty and Out of Sight.
Bruce Cohen
(Silver Linings Playbook)
Q. How did you come to the movie?
A. I try to pick and develop things
that I deeply love and believe might
really move people. Thats the orga-
nizing principle, even if directors
and studios and genres change. What
excited me about this movie is that I
remember all these people telling me
that theyd loved American Beauty so
much they saw it more than once in
the theater. It hadnt happened since,
but I thought this might be like that.
And it has been, which is wonderful.
David O. Russell and I have known
each other for years, and had wanted
to work together, but hadnt yet. Hed
sent me an earlier draft before The
Fighter and Id fallen deeply in love
with it and wanted to be a part of it.
So the day I heard from (the other pro-
ducer) that they wanted me, it was an
instant yes. You could hear me shout-
ing across the neighborhood!
The lead actors were taking on new, pos-
sibly career-defining roles, even growing
as the movie was being developed. What
was that like?
David gave them both a chance to
do something they hadnt before. He
talked about the opening shot of the
film starting on Bradley [Coopers]
back then coming around to his face as
a metaphor: it was the character, Pat Jr.
reintroducing himself to the world to
prove that hes not who they thought
he was, and also introducing Bradley
as not the actor you thought either.
And for Jennifer [Lawrence, who will
be honored with SBIFFs Outstanding
Performance of the Year award on
Saturday night], those kind of roles
just dont come around very often, one
with such depth and many layers and
levels. It was an extraordinary chance
for her to announcer herself as a major
new talent.

Erratic Driving on Hot Springs Road
Friday, 25 January, 10:04 pm Deputy Johnson was patrolling Montecito in a
marked patrol car. While traveling on Hot Springs Road, the deputy observed
a truck two cars ahead, driving considerably slower than the speed limit. The
deputy initiated a traffic stop while the vehicle was pulling into the Vons park-
ing lot. When the driver pulled his truck into the parking stall, he went too
fast and hit the curb. When the deputy approached, there was an odor of alco-
hol coming from the driver. A records check showed the drivers license was
expired and he was on probation for DUI. When the man went to put his license
and insurance information back in his wallet, he reached down and produced a
bottle of mouthwash, which he took a drink of.
Fifteen minutes later, after several field sobriety tests, the deputy asked the
man for a breath sample, which was .052 BAC. Because of the low BAC, the man
was allowed to leave via taxi. Later, the deputy researched further, and found
a section in the Vehicle Code which prohibits persons on probation for driving
under the influence to be operating a vehicle with blood-alcohol percentages of
.01 or greater.
The District Attorney is expected to follow up with charges. MJ

Update
Last Saturday, Laird Koenig and I
visited Barnaby Conrad, founder and
former director of the Santa Barbara
Writers Conference begun in 1973. He
is doing surprisingly well given hes 90
years old and his heart can no longer
support activities like bounding up
onto the stage at the Miramar. Those
were the days when hed welcome
the 400 or so students each June to the
Santa Barbara Writers Conference for
a week of intense workshops, friend-
ships and change-of-life directions.
In spite of body frailties, he was chip-
per and carried on a conversation in
typical Barney style with stories and
humor. Even the Hospice worker was
chortling.
If you have memories of the
Conference and would like to send
a card or note, please send them
to: Barnaby Conrad, c/o Montecito
Journal, 1206 Coast Village Circle,
Montecito, CA 93108.
Perhaps you feel awkward? Take
advice from former student and cur-
rent workshop leader, Ernie Witham.
I sent an artistic card with a blank
inside and wrote him a note. Like
most of us, I feel I owe so much to the
SBWC and to Barney and Mary for
giving me a chance to be a workshop
leader.

Another Empty Saddle
Shortly after returning from the
funeral service for Harry Carey, Jr.
on Saturday January 12, I picked up a
copy of Montecito Journal and was sad-
dened to read that in Lynn P. Kirsts
Trail Talk article (Empty Saddles,
MJ # 19/2), regarding deaths in 2012
there was no mention of Mr. Careys
passing. She did state that the list was
incomplete and perhaps the fact that
he passed on December 27, so close to
the end of 2012, may be a factor in the
omission.
I became acquainted with him and
his wife, Marilyn, through a facil-
ity where I worked in Santa Barbara.
There was no celebrity ego; they were
both friendly down-to-earth people.
Harry Carey, Jr. appeared in many
movies with John Wayne, including
the movie, The Searchers, which is
a Western favorite of many, includ-
ing myself. At his service, his son,
Tom Carey, and Marty Gish sang the
theme song from The Searchers. At the
reception following the service, Harry
Carey, Jr.s saddle was displayed. A
fitting tribute to a cowboy legend. He
will be missed.
I hope if Lynn P. Kirst does another
Trail Talk article for Montecito Journal,
she will include his passing.

Gun Control In Israel
In the current debate over gun con-
trol, a letter writer (As Goes Israel
MJ # 9/3) writes that taking our guns
away isnt the answer. Incredibly she
holds up Israel as the exemplar for
her position. She states that in Israel,
every person who graduates from
high school goes into the military,
and they all keep their rifles after their
service. Over there, she says, they
dont have these weird problems with
people shooting each other or going
into schools and doing these atroci-
ties.
This is inexplicably way off the
mark. In my various visits to Israel
and to the Palestinian colonies it
occupies I have seen an abundance
of weapons. As she suggests, many
of these weapons are in the hands
of civilians, often maniacal settlers.
One has only to remember Baruch
Goldstein in 1994. He walked into the
Ibrahim Mosque in Hebron, killing 29
Muslims and wounding 129 others,
all of them in prayer. The residents of
Kiryat Arba (an illegal settlement in
Palestine, not in Israel) turned their
killer into a folk hero, calling him a
martyr with clean hands and a pure
heart, and they built a monument to
honor him. A national poll in Israel
reported that 4% of the population
was in support of this mass murder.
Then-Prime Minister Yitzakh Rabin
described Goldstein as a degenerate
murderer, but Rabin himself would
be shot to death in 1995 in Tel Aviv,
by Yigal Amir, who faulted Rabin
for supporting peace talks with the
Palestinians.
It is not only the settlers who are
out of control. The Israeli military
routinely shoots Palestinian civilians
with impunity. Thanks to the coura-
geous reporting of an Israeli news-
paper such as Haaretz, some of these
crimes come to our attention. Most do
not. Israeli soldiers have been seen to
sign their mission with graffiti on the
walls of destroyed buildings, some in
Hebrew, others in nave English, such
as Arabs need 2 die, and Make war
not peace. According to a Norwegian
physician who endured the assault
on al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza during
Operation Cast Lead, Israeli snipers
from the Givati Brigate could pur-
chase T-shirts depicting a young, obvi-
ously pregnant woman in traditional
Palestinian dress, her belly centered
in the cross-hairs of a snipers scope,
with the words underneath: 1 Shot
2 Kills.
The letter is datelined London,
England. If shes at all interested in
facts about arms and Israel, I would
recommend she take a brief journey
southwest to Exeter, to meet with
Professor Ilan Pappe, a renowned
Israeli historian. If she finds this
impractical, she could at least get her-
self a copy of Pappes book, The Ethnic
Cleansing of Palestine (2008).
Francis Sarguis

(Editors note: The letter you reference
was mistakenly attributed to a woman
who lives in London. We have not been
able to ascertain who wrote it at this
point so well forego any comments,
other than if we are ever forced to choose
between Israelis and Palestinians, were
going with the Israelis. J.B.)
From Butter Knives
To Heroin
Everyone is entitled to know who
owns, or conceals, dangerous weap-
ons. It doesnt matter whether those
objects are tucked under the front
car seat, hidden in a purse, strapped
around an ankle, stored in a beer
cooler or forgotten in a kitchen draw-
er.
According to U.S. Senator Dianne
Feinstein, there is no such thing as
a safe weapon. If she includes steak
knives, broken glass bottles, jagged
metal, keychain-size gun replicas or
ice picks, Ill agree.
The proposal to ban knives
may sound ridiculous, but a Google
search (UK Doctors Ban Knives)
will show how this brilliant idea is
coming to fruition. Another Google
search (Ice Picks vs. Bullets)
reveals that even a bulletproof vest
provides little protection against a
combat knife, ice pick or hunting
arrow. Perhaps the availability of
these cheap, unregistered, easily
available assault knives needs to
be regulated.
Some experts believe that, once
innocent kids have been desensitized
to butter knives, violent birthday par-
ties will likely follow, or once kids
learn to be comfortable around
archery equipment, its only a matter
of time before they start using heroin,
killing their neighbors or become
dictators. (Google: Armed-Piata
Syndrome)
When a kindergartener is arrest-
ed for pointing her finger, or a boy
suspended because one of his Lego
figures carried a dime-sized plastic
machine gun, we are not far from
an extremely slippery slope. These,
and 50 additional, zero-tolerance
examples can be found.
If firearms are going to be regis-
tered, or concealed-carry permit hold-
ers exposed in a newspaper or web-
site, isnt it appropriate that everyone
be included? In the interest of fair-
ness and equality, shouldnt every
gun-toting or ammo-hoarding politi-
cian (state, local, national), celebrity,
sports star and newspaper journalist
be clearly identified?
How about zero-tolerance for
lawmakers who think their lives are
more important than the electorates?
With such fantastic free publicity
and political transparency, what
could possibly go wrong?

Please note: I have tried to add humor to a painful incident, but though I poked
a bit of fun at them, the staff at the hospital emergency room that treated me
were incredibly caring and efficient.
B
arnaby Conrad has said he
paints pictures, draws portraits,
and carves wooden versions of
such objects as egg beaters, and liv-
ing things like crocodiles and brown
trout, in order to avoid writing books.
When you pause to consider the
number of books novels and nonfic-
tion he has written, this confession
seems an elaborate gesture, in effect
a trompe loeil come to pass. Conrad
has painted, drawn, and carved doz-
ens, likely hundreds, of these tricks of
the eye from which the genre takes its
name in French.
One of his favorite commissions
was to paint a swimming pool on a
San Francisco rooftop, about which
the client then deployed deck chairs,
and served drinks to guests.
His books run an eclectic spec-
trum, starting with his first novel,
The Innocent Villa, of which he and the
critics are dismissive, followed by his
breakthrough bestseller, Matador, a
roman a clef featuring a moody Spanish
bullfighter. Some years later, an his-
torical thriller featured a character
based on his younger self, attempt-
ing to foil the escape of a Nazi war
criminal from Spain at the close of
World War II. His most recent fiction
is a fanciful account of the life of John
Wilkes Booth, after his assassination
of Abraham Lincoln, wherein Booth
is portraying Abraham Lincoln in a
festival, and is shot by a man portray-
ing John Wilkes Booth.
Nonfiction Conrad titles ease from
instructions on bullfighting to mem-
oirs of his time as owner of a noted
San Francisco bistro, to his stay at
the Bette Ford Rehabilitation Center.
In the heyday of more literate maga-
zines, he wrote travel and nostalgia
pieces, including portraits of some of
his many friends.
At a birthday celebration for him not
long ago, the hostess placed two party
favors at the setting of each guest. The
first was a small wind-up toy with the
built-in ability to recognize and stop
short of running over the edge of a
table. Within moments of being seated,
the guests had their toys sashaying
over the table at a happy buzz, sound-
ing like the aggregate giggle of amused
youngsters at a playground.
The other party favor removed any
doubt that decorum and dignity were
to be shown the nearest exit. A clear
plastic envelope held one form or
another of an exaggerated, paste-on
mustache, ranging from the tooth-
brush shrub of Oliver Hardy to the
shaggy droop reminiscent of Mark
Twain and the Old West. The guests
sprouted their facial furnishings,
resulting in the mischievous ambi-
ance of a Marx Brothers movie. For
the rest of the dinner, Barnaby and
Mary Conrad maintained the natural
ease and good fellowship of persons
whod been born and raised, wearing
exaggerated mustaches.
The Conrad home in the Rincon
Beach enclave is in its way an exten-
sion of the wind-up toys and mus-
taches, although to be fair, there are
many features, including Conrads
own paintings, charcoal portraits,
sculpting, and intricate carvings best
described without apology as art.
Even so, the atmosphere of mischief
and irrepressible humor are as much
a presence as the iodine tang from the
nearby beach and slough. The light
switch in the guest bathroom is a case
in point. When youre aware of turn-
ing the lights on or off, youre drawn
to the switch, a rascally conflation of a
photo of the Michelangelo David and
the up-down on-off lever, placed just
a tad below Davids waist.
Today, you find yourself in the
library, a room that seemingly has
more books, photos, paintings, and
drawings than it can accommodate.
In the center of the room, facing the
western bank of windows, you see
a large hospital bed, one that eas-
ily could be a part of an elaborate
Conradian trompe loeil.
The bed suggests the care Conrad
takes when he renders details. This
one has lettering attributing the bed to
Hospice. In the corner, two tall tanks
of oxygen. What fun Conrad might
have had, carving and shaping those.
There, in the midst of the bed, a form
Conrad might have done as a whim-
sical self-portrait, down to the faux
Rolex watch purchased from a dis-
play outside the Tijuana bullring. The
figures sidewalls, fluffy and cottony,
protrude, as Conrads do. A nurse,
wearing a Hospice jumper, nudges
the figure with gentle concern, wak-
ing him from a doze. Youve got a
visitor, she says. The figure in the
bed comes to focus then leans for-
ward. Another fine mess youve got
us into, he says, then motions you to
the chair at his side. MJ
T
hey couldnt locate my spleen.
Im not even sure what my
spleen looks like or what it does
or why it should go into hiding like
a common criminal, but it did. My
spleen had some splainin to do.
Maybe the sound of my ribs fractur-
ing sent it scurrying. Maybe all my
organs were now standing around
going: Did you feel that? You
kidding? I practically secreted. an
enzyme Did we hit an iceberg or
something?
No, my squishy innards, weve been
in a car accident.
Oh. Right. Yeah, guess that
makes more sense, was the brain
working?
Good question.
They had offered me a ride to
Emergency in the ambulance, but I
declined. Partially because the full
extent of the pain hadnt kicked in
at that point, and partially because
my friend and fellow columnist Jim
Alexander told us it cost more to ride
in an ambulance than to ride on the
space shuttle, but mostly because my
wife was there, talking to the police,
the tow truck driver, the paparazzi
(well Im sure they would have been
there given time) and I knew she
would give me a lift. Though, she did
refuse to make siren noises on the
way.
They took x-rays then wheeled me
into a curtained stall to wait for the
results.
This gave us a chance to eavesdrop
on some of the neighbors. There was
the flu guy, who only stopped moan-
ing long enough to cough and gasp
for air. Our air.
There was the guy who dislocated
his finger. They kept trying to pull
it back into place but it wouldnt go.
Stalwarts that they were they kept try-
ing and we all held our breath waiting
for the pop that never came.
And there was the young guy who
tried Robo-tripping, taking so much
cold medicine he couldnt turn his
head and cough if they offered him
money.
My x-rays were inconclusive but I
had these bruises on my back that my
wife kept referring to as Holy crap!
So they took some CT scans and thats
when they discovered small fractures
to two ribs and my hip. But my spleen
didnt show up on the CT scans. So
now they were trying an ultrasound.
This might be a little cold, the
emergency room doctor said, as she
put goop all over my stomach.
Colder than the room itself?
Colder than my wheelchair trip from
Emergency across the parking lot to
the x-ray department? Colder than the
air blowing up my little cute hospital
gown?
There it is, she said.
My wife and I looked at the screen.
Im not sure what she saw, but to me
my spleen looked like a raccoons face.
Was it wearing a mask? Was it hiding
because it tipped over one of the other
organs trash cans?
Some of these thoughts may have
been courtesy of the painkillers they
had given me. Turns out the more you
grimace, the more they take care of
you. Nice folks these emergency room
folks.
We need to make sure its not
bleeding or you could die.
See what I mean? Some doctors may
hem and haw, and explain things in
such a way as to leave you wondering
about your odds, but not in the emer-
gency room.
I looked for signs of blood, but the
ultrasound was only in black and
white probably a budget constraint.
The doctor cleaned up the goop,
packed up the scanner and left. The
rest of the staff went to get my take-
home package drugs, crutches and
this weird little device I had to use
to make sure I kept my lungs fully
inflated.
Or you could get pneumonia, your
lung could collapse, and you could
die.
My wife helped me get dressed.
Lets get out of here.
Thats when the doctor came back
and said they needed to do another
CT scan of my spleen using contrast,
just in case.
I couldnt remember the last time
my wife undressed me twice in one
night, but she hasnt lost her touch.
Why cant I go home and finish my
trip? Robo guy asked, as they gur-
neyed me through the ER yet again.
Because we need to pump your
stomach or you could die.
I was beginning to wonder if any-
one made it out alive. MJ
Im not sure what she saw,
but to me my spleen looked
like a raccoons face
Montecitos Emerging Movie Makers
W
hat follows is a short very
short examination into
what some young men and
women are now doing after spend-
ing a usually productive childhood
in Santa Barbara and/or Montecito.
Among this list of talented, success-
ful, ambitious, and inventive current
and future filmmakers, screenwriters,
producers, actors, and directors are a
number that attended one or another
of Montecitos public and private ele-
mentary schools, and some that began
their budding careers at of all places
the Montecito Journal.
Matt Ornstein
For example, Matt Ornstein attend-
ed MUS from the second grade to the
sixth; from there, he went on to Santa
Barbara Middle School, Santa Barbara
High School and then to Bard College,
a liberal arts school in the Hudson
Valley, about an hour and a half north
of New York City. Matts writing was
featured in the very first issue of
Montecito Journal. Matt was a middle
school ninth grader and had done an
interview with Dick Tuck, a longtime
antagonist of Richard Nixon and good
friend of outlaw journalist Hunter
Thompson.
Matt chose to attend Bard, because
the other option was USC, which
probably would have been better, he
suggests during a short telephone call
from his home in Los Angeles. But I
figured since I was from Los Angeles
originally, I wanted something differ-
ent, he adds.
At the time, he was eager to begin
making films and was frustrated that
Bard didnt have much in the way
of filmmaking equipment. Instead,
students watched movies, took them
apart verbally and put them back
together again. I did get to edit,
Matt recalls, and was probably one
of the last [students] to edit a film
using a flatbed editing machine, razor
blades and tape.
He finally did get to make a few
short films, and from there, he says,
I went to music videos and commer-
cials. In 2003, he was out of college
and was offered a job making music
videos back in Los Angeles for MTVs
Total Request Live. Those videos had
million-dollar budgets and included
big names such as *NSYNC, Britney
Spears, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey,
and others. I wandered into that
world when it was a hurricane of
money. But, he laments, it ended
when the bubble burst in terms of how
much they spent and I, like everybody
else, went into commercials.
Matts first film, Atlantis, a docu-
drama about a couple that meets just
before the launch of the last space
shuttle from Cape Canaveral, was in
last years Santa Barbara Film Festival.
We kind of learn about the end of
the Shuttle program and watch the
final launch through their eyes, he
explains.
After Atlantis premiere in Santa
Barbara, Matt brought his film to
eighteen or nineteen other festivals,
he says. It was well received and,
in fact, we showed it at Montecito
Union during that time. It was age
appropriate except for one kiss that
the principal had to fast forward, he
recalls, laughing.
Today, Matt has his own production
company Sound & Vision (sound-
vision.tv) and is currently co-pro-
ducing Out There for cable TV. Its an
exploration of some fringe scientific
ideas, directed by Gaspar No (Enter
the Void, Irreversible). Im not directing
it, but I am hands-on. Its a six-episode
mini-series and were just doing the
pilot.
A Princeton Grad
Mattie Brickman attended MUS
from kindergarten right through sixth
grade, graduating in 1995, before going
to Santa Barbara Middle School, and
then Cate for high school. She went off
to Princeton in 2001, where she was
accepted into the Woodrow Wilson
School for Public and International
Affairs. After graduation, she spent
one year between college and grad
school studying playwriting at UCSB
before settling into the Yale School
of Drama where she earned her MFA
in playwriting in 2009. She spent the
next two years in New York City
Manhattan for a year and Brooklyn for
a year and a half, but has now settled
back on the West Coast.
With a full degree from Princeton,
one would have thought Mattie would
now be a star in the political arena, but
she exposed her hand when she asked
for permission to write a play at the
Woodrow Wilson School in place of a
dissertation. They said no.
While in New York, Mattie col-
laborated with a group called Art.
Party.Theater.Company that attempts
to incorporate the audience into its
work. They had a theater piece in the
middle of Bryant Park in the summer
of 2010, she tells us, called Star Box,
where we built this weird box in the
middle of the park and created a huge
media campaign to get the word out
that there would be a star, a celebrity,
in the box.
For this effort, Mattie wrote a
90-page script that included thirty
actors, which was essentially a
staged media circus around this box.
So, people would show up, but they

werent sure if there were actors or
real journalists [outside]; there was a
mix of both.
Matties first writing assignment
was for Montecito Journal. She wrote
a cover story about her attendance at
the Academy Awards (her dad, Paul
Brickman, is a film director Risky
Business was his hit and Tom Cruise
was his discovery). As a sophomore at
Cate, she wrote a column for MJ, called
Upward & Outward, concentrating
on, curiously enough, Montecito kids
who were or had gone on to bigger
things.
After graduating from Yale, Mattie
received a commission from Vassar
to write a play about Hallie Flanagan,
the woman who founded the the-
ater program at the college and the
first woman to receive a Guggenheim
Fellowship. Shortly after finishing
that, producer Jon Avnet (Black Swan)
and TV producer-director Rodrigo
Garcia asked her to participate in the
creation of a web series about women
they were working on for YouTubes
Original Channel Initiative, backed by
Google.
Jon and Rodrigo had each written
a piece about speed-dating events and
they asked me to write one. I could re-
use some of their characters, use some
of my own, use their sets, etcetera,
Mattie explains. I started fresh with
the characters, got that to them by the
end of January 2012 and we started
production in March.
Matties series features a main char-
acter named Ro, and it follows her
through one evening of speed dating,
during the course of which Ro comes
into contact with her parole officer.
Although Mattie hadnt done any
speed dating herself (shed been dat-
ing someone), she says that at Yale,
they were always offering that. They
were always trying to mix the school
of drama with the school of divinity,
with the school of forestry, with medi-
cal students. Go to a bar, have a drink,
and meet ten people, so she was
familiar with the process.
Currently Mattie is working on her
own TV pilot. She says she loves the
idea of a writers room and the col-
laboration of it, and would prefer
that kind of work. Her pilot follows
three estranged friends as they recon-
nect in New York and scrape together
strange and unique ways to pay their
bills. The cast consists of two guys
and a girl who used to be in a band
together.

web series on: www.YouTube.com/

Discovering Mavericks
Sean Maurer was also an MUS boy,
and he, along with director Josh Pomer
and others, produced this years Santa
Barbara International Film Festival
documentary: Discovering Mavericks.
Sean is a Montecito kid, but Josh is
a northern California guy, although
he has lived in Summerland recently.
I grew up in Santa Cruz and have
been making surf documentaries for
twenty years, since I was eighteen,
Josh says. The Hollywood version
of the film Chasing Mavericks con-
centrated on Jay Moriarity, but all I
needed to do were the interviews, as
I had all the footage already, cause Id
been filming [Mavericks] for so long,
Josh explains.
Joshs earlier film, The Westsiders,
about the rise and fall of a surf gang,
has been shown and has won acco-
lades internationally.
The world premiere of Discovering
Mavericks is scheduled for Friday,
February 1, beginning at 7 pm at
the Lobero. The film is narrated by
Dean Winters, the actor that has
become a YouTube, cable, and net-
work TV star portraying the popular
character Mayhem in the Allstate
Insurance commercials.
Sean Maurers Santa Barbara-based
production company is called State &
Cabrillo; his father, Michael Maurer,
was production manager on the origi-
nal Hair in New York City, and his
mom, Jane Maurer, not only appeared
in that production, but also went on
the road for a year with Hello Dolly
starring Carol Channing. Michael,
who has since passed away, wrote,
produced and directed the short-lived
but ambitious Broadway produc-
tion of The Shroud. Josh has recently
stretched out into a feature film that
Sean is helping to finance and pro-
duce. Its a horror film that takes place
all around the Big Yellow House in
Summerland. We have a rough cut
already, says Josh, who both wrote
and directed the film.

Union School District. After gradu-
ating from MUS, he went to Santa
Barbara Middle School (theres some-
thing in the water there too), and then
Santa Barbara High School (okay,
okay). Unlike most of his classmates,
however, J.J. didnt go to college;
he knew what he wanted to do and
didnt believe a college degree would
be all that useful. He had been study-
ing acting in Santa Barbara, but after
spending six months in Los Angeles,
headed for the place where real actors
go: New York City. He wanted to do
live theater, on stage, in front of audi-
ences; and New York was the only
place for that.
In New York, J.J. is both president
and producing director at Throughline
Artists, a non-profit that produces
a theatrical festival at a small the-
ater on East 59
th
Street between Park
and Madison Avenues that has been
going for seven years. His first screen
role was as a sentry in the six-time
Oscar winner, Hurt Locker, directed by
Kathryn Bigelow.
I worked with a friend who was
involved in [Hurt Locker] at a the-
ater retreat in upstate New York, J.J.
says during a telephone conversation
from his home, speculating on how
he got the role in the first place. The
friend is a screenwriter who also
happens to be Mark Boals brother.
Mark Boal was the writer-producer
of Hurt Locker. His brother, Chris,
has seen my work at this retreat,
recounts J.J. They had some passing
emergency with some cast members
and sent out a mass e-mail looking to
fill some of the roles and I responded.
J.J. spent a week in Jordan film-
ing his brief role in Hurt Locker,
and worked directly with Kathryn
Bigelow during the filming. She must
have liked me, J.J. says, because she
hired me for her next film (Zero Dark
Thirty). Im assuming that she asked
for me, because I got a phone call ask-
ing if Id be interested in doing a line
in this movie. The casting director,
who I knew, said if I wanted the part
Id have to get a visa. I had to sign a
bunch of things, got a visa, got on a
plane again and went to India.
Its a very nice scene, he contin-
ues. Its at the beginning of the movie
and Im one of the CIA case officers
that works at the embassy there in
Islamabad. The character is credited
as J.J., so theres J.J. playing J.J.
When asked whether he could sing
or would consider a role that required
singing, such as that required by
Russell Crowe in Les Miserables, he
responded that he doesnt really sing
and that the idea of doing musical
theater terrifies me. But, he adds,
if it scares me, theres a good chance
Im going to find a way to do it, just
for that reason. But the idea certainly
does terrify me a bit.
J.J.s mom, Joyce, is a writer; his
dad, Bob Kiken, is a Santa Barbara
oral surgeon. As a side note, while
attending MUS, J.J. wrote and directed
and performed in an onstage skit with
some of his classmates, including MJ
publisher Tim Buckley. I remem-
ber; in those days, in my early days
of producing, J.J. says with a laugh,
I would put on little shows for the
dinner guests. Little did I know what
I was doing; its just what I did and
Tim was enrolled in one of them. For
the record, Tim doesnt sing, and he
whistles out of tune.

J.J., you are invited to go to: summer

Beasts
Of The Southern Wild
Ariana Rubcic is a tenth-generation
Californian who was born in Santa
Maria and grew up in Summerland.
She attended El Montecito Early
School, Mt. Carmel, Crane and then
Laguna Blanca for high school.
Ariana says she doesnt know how
to think about Beasts of the Southern
Wild, the making of the film, or her
small part in it all.
Its all so strange, she says,
that this little movie I worked on in
Louisiana has gotten to be such a big
thing. Its all so strange, she repeats.
It was the middle of 2010; Ariana
was dating someone who had been
working with the people involved in
making the film and she was hired on
to help with the production. (Ariana
is listed as an artist on her film
credit.) I was in what was called
the aurochs unit (aurochs are the
mythical beasts that look a lot like
Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs with extra
hair and horns).
Ariana served as an assistant to
the production coordinator, who was
responsible for laying out what tools
we needed and ways to do things to
complete certain shots. We had to cre-
ate clouds, for example, with certain
chemicals so that a camera could still
film through it. Ariana spent nearly
three months March through May
helping with the movie. We were sta-
tioned in New Orleans proper in an old
firehouse that had been converted into
kind of an artists workshop where we
made puppets and costumes, using
horns and hair, she recounts. Ariana
says she didnt have a lot of contact
with the star (Quvenzhan Wallis)
but she could see there was some-
thing remarkably self-assured about
her. Ariana accompanied the cast and
crew to the Sundance Film Festival
and then to Brooklyn. I watched the
young girl grow up before my eyes,
she marvels.
Ariana is working on her own short
film right now, but didnt feel free to
describe the plot. She has a website

Film Skillet
Jeremy Norris was born in Los
Angeles, grew up in Santa Barbara,
attended Crane School and has lived
on and off in the Santa Barbara-
Montecito area for the past twenty-
five years. His mother lives in Santa
Barbara and his father lives in Santa
Monica, and works in the film industry.
Taylor Frees was born in Provo,
Utah, but only lived there for a month
before moving to California and has
been in Santa Barbara since 1986, hav-
ing moved here as a sophomore and
attended Santa Barbara High School.
These two have created a unique
website called Film Skillet, an enter-
tainment and social networking site
whose sole purpose is to discover and
promote talented filmmakers around
the world.
More and more people every year
stream their entertainment online,
Jeremy says during an interview
outside Pierre Lafond in Montecito.
With the onset of mobile devices,
youre seeing these people watching
these things on their phones and tab-
lets. They are commuting to and from
work and theyre entertaining them-
selves, he adds.
Film Skillet offers cash rewards and
backing for winners for drama in their
film contests. The creator of this sum-
mers winner, Anamnesis, for exam-
ple, got to meet with Jeremys father,
Emmy Award-winning TV Director
Patrick Norris (Parenthood, Gossip Girl,
The O.C., and many others). They
got to go on the set of Parenthood and
get their work out in the industry.
Theyve been offered walk-on roles on
TV and developing alongside other
creative people down in Hollywood,
Jeremy points out.
Anamnesis is a look into life at the
last stages of ones life, where a group
of people are dreaming and meet in
the dream world; the line between
waking and the dream world starts
to blur. With Finite Films, creators of
Anamnesis, Taylor says, we decided
to develop a web series based around
their short film. We thought it was
very good. And, in doing so, weve
committed ourselves to twenty thou-
sand dollars worth of investment, as
well as them pitching in financially to
make it happen.
At the end of the process, Film
Skillet and Finite Films will have an
original series with original content
that they then will take through their
connections into Hollywood, and put
it in front of networks as an original
idea for television. So, it might start
off as a short film, Jeremy continues,
be developed into a web series and
made into a television series. That is
where the potential is.
Taylor says there really isnt any
second-place prize for their contest
entrants, but we have taken the best
films that come in and are in the pro-
cess of creating a series of compila-
tions. Its pretty hard for filmmakers
to market an individual short film,
he says. There arent a lot of ven-
ues for that, but by compiling them
into DVDs, it provides filmmakers an
opportunity to showcase their work
alongside other talented filmmakers,
thereby increasing their international
exposure.
Taylor focuses on another entry
that they believe has potential to be
made into a series: Suckablood is a
five-minute short by Ben Franklin (a
Brit) about a young girl that sucks her
thumb and lives with her stepmother.
Her stepmother puts a curse on her so
that should she suck her thumb again,
the monster Suckablood would come
and eat her in her sleep. And, sure
enough, he shows up that night when
the girl sucks her thumb but he ends
up going after the stepmother instead.
The Third Letter is a six- or seven-
minute long film set in the future: the
world is very polluted and everyone
suffers from health problems. There is
a man that needs a new battery for his
pacemaker but his insurance doesnt
cover it. He is recently separated from
his wife and needs a letter from her
insurance company with her activa-
tion code to activate her battery. In
desperation, he rips the pacemaker
out of his body and enters her code.
All the films are done on extremely
limited budgets. People are pulling
off these really great short films for
between two and five thousand dol-
lars by virtue of favors from friends
and relatives, notes Taylor. All the
films weve selected for the site,
Jeremy adds, have incredible pro-
duction values. If you were actually
to re-film these in Hollywood, you
would be looking at fifty, sixty thou-
sand dollars.
Is there money in a web series, we
wondered?
Any time you can develop traf-
fic, theres money in it. So, if you can
develop a web series that builds an
audience, theres money in it. Anytime
you have an audience in the hundreds
of thousands, you have a viable prod-
uct; anytime you are in the millions,
you have a very successful one.
While everyone can submit their
film to Film Skillet, only the top films
are selected to be featured on the site,
suggests Jeremy. This means less time
searching and more time watching.
When you select an independent film
from our library, you can be assured
the film has been viewed by our staff
and selected for its quality.
Jeremy and Taylor are currently
looking for financial partners to help
grow Film Skillet into a major pro-
vider of entertainment.
If youd like to learn more or how to
enter Film Skillets contests, you can

Williams Family Album:
Hollys Holy Emergence
On Entertainment
by Steven Libowitz
Steven Libowitz has
reported on the arts and
entertainment for more
than 30 years; he has
contributed to Montecito
Journal for over ten
years.
C
onsidering her heritage, its
hard to believe that Holly
Williams didnt pick up a
guitar until she was almost 18. Her
grandfather was the legendary Hank
Williams, the acknowledged father of
contemporary country music, and her
dad is the country outlaw/honky-
tonk superstar Hank, Jr.
But protected by her dad who
wanted her to avoid the trappings
hed suffered when his mom had him
performing Hank Sr.s songs at the
Grand Ole Opry while he was still in
single digits Holly was raised on a
steady diet of teen pop and current
R&B before getting into writing and
playing at the tail end of high school.
I didnt grow up the way people
think because my dad didnt want
us on the road with him at all, she
recalled from her home in Nashville,
where she was trying to rally from
being sick with the flu in time to make
it onto The Tonight Show two days
later. It was school and field trips,
not concert. He always said, Im not
Bocephus [Hank Jr.s nickname], Im
daddy. So we were very sheltered
from all those rowdy things.
In fact, so much so that she didnt
even really hear her grandfathers
music until it was referenced through
artists Hank Sr. had influenced.
My dad was so famous then that it
shadowed Hank Sr.s music. I didnt
understand the legacy that hed left.
But then at seventeen I heard Sarah
McLachlan cover Tom Waits Old
55, and bought every record of his.
After that I got into Leonard Cohen
and Bruce Springsteen and of course
Bob Dylan, who used to say Hank
Williams was his radio. To know that
the people who influenced me were
themselves influenced by my grand-
father is such an ironic thing. It really
has come full circle.
Despite Hank Jr.s successes, he too
didnt offer much help to Holly when
she was starting out, and she would
have eschewed it anyway, she said.
He didnt have any idea what to
tell his fingerpicking, piano-playing
folksinging daughter about what to
do. And I wasnt looking to put on a
cowboy hat and sign a country red-
neck deal. I was in such a different
genre. All he could have done is make
some phone calls to Music Row, but
I didnt want to sing other peoples
songs. I wanted a fan base for my own
stories and songs.
Now, at 31 two years longer than
Hank, Sr. lived and around the same
age her dad was when he released his
career-altering record Hank Williams, Jr.
and Friends Holly is about to unleash
her third CD, The Highway, which
comes out on Tuesday, the same day
she makes her Santa Barbara debut at
SOhO. The album was produced by
Charlie Peacock of the Civil Wars
and features guest shots from Jackson
Browne, Jakob Dylan, Dierks Bentley
and Gwyneth Paltrow in an organic
gathering much like her dads Friends
album. It also marks something of
another fresh start for Williams, who
is putting out the record on her own
after stints on two different major
labels.
Its an even more acoustic affair
than the others, too, full of more roots
than twang and deepening the sto-
rytelling angle to her songs. But it
was a long time coming, and not just
because shed spent a couple years
at home helping her sister to heal
from a near-fatal car accident that also
injured Holly.
I wanted to explore characters,
people I knew or things I had gone
through myself, she said. And I
thought the album was finished
because after nine songs the well had
run dry, and I wanted to get it done.
We even mastered it and did all the
artwork. But I kept thinking there
was something I still had to say but
I couldnt put my finger on it. Then
at the gas station one night, I just
started singing the chorus [to what
became the title track]. It came out of
nowhere. But I knew immediately it
was the whole point of this record
I have so much wanderlust. I missed
being out on the road. And as a singer-
songwriter you better freaking love it
because if you want a career, you have
to build it fan by fan, city by city, tour-
ing by van across the country. Thats
great, because seeing the way you
touch someone, how theyre moved
by your songs, you cant get that any-
where else.
The rest of the record is pretty darn
personal, too, including a couple of
songs dedicated to her husband, most
endearingly Good Man.
The accident happened so quick,
so shocking and fast [that] it left me
with fear of people around me dying.
But I feel like I needed to get it out
of me so Id find a better way to live.
Its hard for me to write a happy love
song, so I wanted the world to know
if something happened, Id been with
a good man.
Her own family actually does show
up on the album, but only the mater-
nal side. Both of her moms parents
died in the last couple of years, and
the emotions came bubbling up in the
songs Gone Away From Me and
Waiting on June.
Every single word of that song is
true, from the cotton fields, to the war,
the kids, and the separate rooms in
the nursing room, she said. Its the
hardest song for me to get through
when I sing it now, because I miss
them so much, and its bittersweet.
Its the most personal song Ive ever
written, the kind I couldnt have done
until now. Its been a slow build.
Undoubtedly, Hank, Sr. would be
proud.

ic triple-bill at SOhO on February 5 that

er-songwriter-guitarist-rock bandleader
Kirstin Candy. The music starts at 7.

Lookin for Love
in Santa Ynez
Texas country singer Johnny Lee
exploded onto the national scene
through his role in the 1980 film
Urban Cowboy, which came about via
his long association with then-coun-
try legend Mickey Gilley, whose self-
named nightclub was the main set-
ting for the film. Lookin For Love,
featured in the movie, became a
massive crossover hit, scoring on
country, pop and adult contempo-
rary charts and heard on myriad
radio stations and dance floors all
over the country.
Lee didnt have to look too far to
score more hits in the succeeding
decade, either, as One in a Million,
Pickin Up Strangers, Sounds
Like Love all reached the charts,
while his cover of the R&B standard
Hey Bartender hit No. 1. But its
been slimmer pickins since; Lee has
only released a handful of albums
of new music after the early 1990s.
Which makes him perfect for the
casino-revival circuit, including the
last day of January at the Chumash
Resort. [Tickets: $25-$35; Info: (800)

coming, but austere.
Sophie says citizens live in a near
total information bubble, without any
true frame of reference.
My understanding is that North
Koreans are taught to believe they
are lucky to be there, so why would
they want to leave? Theyre hostages
in their own country without any real
consciousness of it.
The four-day trip was led by for-
mer New Mexico governor and U.N.
ambassador, Bill Richardson.
Her fathers goal, among other
things, was to promote a freer internet
in the country.
Sophie adds that she and the other
eight delegates were always accompa-
nied by two minders and they never
spoke with a citizen who hadnt been
pre-approved by the state government
in Pyongyang.
It must be nice to be back in
Montecito...
Dance Theater Dazzles
Santa Barbara Dance Theater, under
new artistic director Christopher
Pilafian, has made a most impressive
start.
Launching its season with a thor-
oughly entertaining performance with
Leap of Faith at the Hatlen Theater,
it featured a variety of solos, duets,
trios and quartets, encompassing orig-
inal music by William Pasley and
other composers.
The four accomplished dancers
Kyle Castillo, Monica Ford, Tracy
Ray Kofford and Christina Sanchez
wearing costumes by Anaya Cullen,
were seamless with the 80-minute
show which, in 34 segments, explored
the relationships of space, time and
how humans connect.
Each segment of the dance seemed
to have its own external form and
internal logic, says Christopher,
a member of the dance faculty at
UCSB since 1990. The process always
involved the dancers interpretation
of my ideas or improvisation upon
a theme... The process has felt to me
like a dialogue, informed by mutual
respect between choreographer and
dancers.
A wonderful portent of things to
come...
Delighted by Daniel
Oscar nominated for Steven
Spielbergs Lincoln, Daniel Day-
Lewis showed a decidedly mischie-
vous side when he accepted the
SBIFFs Montecito Award from his co-
star Sally Field, at a packed Arlington
Theatre.
Already a two-time Academy Award
recipient for My Left Foot and There
Will Be Blood, he recounted when, at
the age of 12, he was at Sevenoaks
School, outside London, and a mem-
ber of the cast of South African author
Alan Patons Cry, The Beloved Country.
I played a black boy and, need-
less to say, just wearing shorts and
t-shirt, had to have a lot of makeup
applied. Even showering, for what
seemed hours, I couldnt get it all off
and would get it all over the sheets on
my bed.
The matron had always disliked
me, but couldnt say anything, given
this was the school play.
Revenge is sweet...
Mastering Your Emotions
Carpinteria author Jim Piekarskis
first book, Mastering Your Emotions
With Your Spouse and Others, comes
from more than 30 years of experience
as a marriage and family therapist.
Jim, 63, is the clinical director of
Phoenix of Santa Barbara, a 41-year-
old non-profit that treats adults with
mental disorders. He has worked with
couples, individuals and families dur-
ing his career.
It took me five years on and off to
do this book, Jim told me at a bijou
launch bash at Tecolote, the lively lit-
erary lair in the Upper Village.
It is learning how people trigger
each others emotions such as guilt,
anger, hurt and fear.
He is now working on his second
tome, about dependent adult children,
tentatively titled The Way Out, which
he hopes to publish next year...
Magalifs Magnificent Premiere
Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestras
first performance of the New Year
at the Lobero featured the U.S. pre-
miere of composer Eugene Magalifs
work Hummingbird with Angela
Wiegand on flute.
Magalif, 56, who hails from Belarus,
gained notoriety in his homeland and
other countries that comprised the old
U.S.S.R., as a composer of pop songs,
many of which hit the top ten in the
Russian record charts.
Having moved to America 22 years
ago, where he now teaches music at
a high school in New Jersey, Magalif
turned his attention to the classics
with, if Hummingbird is anything
to go by, considerable success.
The performance, under the capable
baton of Heiichiro Ohyama, kicked off
with Mozarts Sinfonia Concertante
in E-flat major, with soloists Judith
Farmer, bassoon, Michael Grego,
clarinet, Jennifer Johnson, oboe,
Jenny Kim, horn, and Wiegand.
Benjamin Brittens Variations on a
theme of Frank Bridge, featuring the
British composers ten-part tribute to
his composition teacher and suitably
combining Bridges lyrical style with
his own more modern sound, filled
the second half of the entertaining
performance, ending appropriately
with Bridges An Irish Melody...
Hubbard Street Returns
It was the first time a dance com-
pany had been booked in consecu-
tive years to perform as part of
UCSBs popular Arts & Lectures
series, but watching Hubbard Street
Dance Chicagos sold-out perfor-
mance at the Granada, it was easy
to see why.
Exhibiting world class choreogra-
phy, the program featured resident
choreographer Alejandro Cerrudos
works Blanco and Pacopepepluto,
the latter a series of three frenetic
male solos set to the music of the late
Dean Martin with minimal clothing in
appropriately darkened light.
The show ended with Swede
Mats Eks Casi-Casa, a 40-min-
ute work first created four years ago
for Danza Contemporanea de Cuba,
set to electronic arrangements from
Fleshquartet, using a number of
domestic objects, including a chair,
vacuum cleaners and a television.
An accomplished company full of
surprises, without a doubt...
Klashing Kontinues
Kim Kardashian claimed she felt
handcuffed to basketball star Kris
Humphries after he refused to divorce
after their short-lived Montecito mar-
riage.
But it seems her cuffs are set to stay
on a little longer, as Humphries has
reportedly turned down a $10 million
offer to settle their case.
The athlete is asking for an annul-
ment on the basis of fraud, something
the reality TV star vigorously denies.
Kris wants to be able to marry in a
church again, with a clear conscience,
when he finds someone special, a
source tells RadarOnline.com.
Because of Humphries basket-
ball commitments, the earliest their
divorce trial can commence is the
middle of June.
And this is where their bitter feud
takes on a soap opera-like quality, for
technically Kardashian, 32, will still be
married to Humphries, 27, when she
is due to give birth in July to current
boyfriend Kanye Wests baby.

mentary follows the evolution of
my work as an artist over thirty
years and it follows my latest piece
from concept to completion, she
tells us. Ive invented a particular
style of working, my own unique
invention, she says, that came out
of my MFA at UCLA. Its twisted
copper wires on a metal grid juxta-
posed with encaustic (molten) wax.
Its quite unusual.
The film is called Inventing Shadows
and it is a twenty-five minute docu-
mentary that will have a free screening
as its public premiere. The screening
begins at 6:30 pm, Friday, February 8.
It will be hosted by Synergy Business &
Technology Center and JM Holliday &
Associates, Architecture, and will take
place at 1 North Calle Cesar Chavez,
Suite 102. Both the artist, Susan
Venable, and the films 31-year-old
director, Ali Lassoued, will be in atten-
dance. There will be wine and hors
doeuvres served, beginning at 6 pm.
The Condors Shadow
Jeff McLoughlin has produced a
film on the recovery of the California
Condor entitled The Condors Shadow.
It screens on Saturday, February 2 at
10 am at the Santa Barbara Museum
of Art.
Jeff has lived in Montecito since
1969 and attended Santa Barbara High
School. He studied filmmaking at San
Francisco State in the late 1970s. When
he left the corporate video world in
2010 he decided to pursue documen-
tary filmmaking and grasped around
for a project that appealed to me, he
says during a short telephone conver-
sation.
I particularly wanted to do an
environmental film that had a posi-
tive hopeful story line. You read a
lot about environmental issues these
days and many of those are quite
bleak; I felt there were success stories
to be told.
So, he went out looking for one
and coincidentally read a piece in
the Santa Barbara Independent, written
by Matt Kettmann, called the Great
California Condor Comeback. That
story was the inspiration for the film,
he reveals.

of the recovery of the California

31 January 7 February 2013 MONTECITO JOURNAL 39 Nothing is more responsible for the good old days than a bad memory Franklin P. Adams
so it looks real. We hired an aquatic
design group who build waterparks
all over the world to reverse engineer
a swell tank.
As far as the tiger, what made it so
photo realistic was that we worked
for a couple of weeks with live ani-
mals in order to learn which only
were less than ten percent of the final
footage to have a lot of reference
footage of all their movements and
habits that we could use with the ani-
mators. So we didnt have to guess
what all the details should look like.
And we integrated our tiger trainer
as a visual effects consultant and
quality control guy. In an early test,
we thought it looked amazing and
he said, but wait, his testicles arent
swinging back and forth. That was
the level of detail.
Ang Lee is a very strong director. Was
there a lot of input from the producers in
how the film took shape?
Its an auteur collaboration. All the
crew can give him ideas. He usu-
ally comes in with a blueprint but
then works with each team to get
the details right and make it hap-
pen. And of course the studio also
gave him notes because adapting a
book like this you have the invisible
line between artistic integrity and
commercial appeal. The challenge for
everyone was to define where that
was, how to keep it accessible with-
out losing the intellectual notions so
that everyone watching it can take
something away. And being a PG
movie, we had to please both eleven
year olds and grownups.
After this experience, whats next for
you?
Im not sure. Im still catching my
breath, and still running around with
Ang doing all these crazy things.
Stacy Sher
(Django Unchained)
Q. You worked with Quentin Tarantino
on Pulp Fiction, his early breakthrough,
and not again until now. Whats up?
A. We met before Reservoir Dogs
in 1991. The company I had with
my partners (Jersey Films) made a
blind deal to for the second movie,
which was Pulp. Then we both
did a bunch of other things. I did
three films with Stephen Soderbergh,
worked with Milos Forman. But we
were very good friends, and he would
always show me his first drafts and
first cuts.
How have things changed after eighteen
years?
You know, we talked about it a lot.
Wed just look at each other and know
we have the same passionate enthusi-
astic love of film wed had when we
were just kids starting out. And the
same independent spirit, even though
you cant really call us outsiders any-
more. But our skill set had surely
grown with our experience, and
that was really great for both of us.
Quentin was always a singular voice
of film. Even talking to him about cin-
ema, theres no one like him and never
will be again. But with him becoming
a more sophisticated filmmaker, more
confident, more of a problem-solver,
even bolder with more power, I just
continue to be knocked out by him
every day
When youre on a Tarantino film, you
know its going to be violent, and usually
controversial. Whats the producers role
in that arena?
When you have a creative relation-
ship, you bounce things off of each
other. Quentin likes to surround him-
self with smart people and engage in
discussions all the time, so the job has
many facets. He wants to be inspired,
not just have them take dictation.
But make no mistake, hes an auteur
and you serve his vision. This was a
complicated film, difficult to shoot,
starting with an extraordinary group
of actors who wanted to all be in the
film, any of whom would be the sin-
gular star in any other film. But then
we had practical problems, too. It
didnt snow in Mammoth in January
for the first time in 100 years. And it
was crucial for the film, so we had
to move the set where wed done
everything including removing tree
stumps to make room for the horses
and take it to Wyoming, and film
in the elk preserve where no one had
done that before.
Does anyone really get to rein Quentin
in, or just stand back and watch him
work?
The best filmmakers are very con-
scious of limitations. In somebody
elses hands, this movie which was
considerably under the one hundred
million dollar budget that was report-
ed might have been two hundred
million. Hes constantly looking for
ways to do things economically, but
not stint on whats absolutely needed.
It had to be emotionally epic. The
genius is in the choosing where that
line is. Its not an indulgent process at
all. He doesnt go back and reshoot.
He makes it as he goes along.
Besides moving from Mammoth, what
else posed a big challenge?
For the first time ever, we trained
thirty-five horses to fall in that
explosion. None of that was CG.
We had one of the greatest wrangler
and stunt coordinators and stunt-
men, who worked for months figur-
ing out what we could do completely
safely. We spent a lot of time seeing
where the actors were at with quick
draw, riding, etcetera. It was an old
fashioned movie with a postmodern
tone, classical in the demands. And
we built and blew up that planta-
tion. Nobody gasps anymore when
they see it because were so used to
seeing it with CG. But I was terrified
because Quentin (and others) were
in a tiny little box and if the blow-
back went their way I dont want
to think about it. MJ

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

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

Vagina Monologues at UCSB
The UCSB Womens Ensemble Theatre
Troupes annual staging of Eve Enslers
iconic compilation of poignant, comedic
and tragic monologues about women and
their bodies comes to a close this weekend.
Based on testimonials Ensler created, The
Vagina Monologues have been translated
into nearly 50 languages and performed
in more than 140 countries, nowhere more
than the U.S., where various groups stage
the work annually. UCSBs production
will be donating most of the proceeds to
the Santa Barbara Rape Crisis Center,
with a portion earmarked for One Billion
Rising, the campaign to raise awareness
about violence against women. WHEN:

Play Misty for me They grow very
versatile musicians up there in the Pacifc
Northwest, with frequent rain producing
territory fertile for both verdant green
landscapes and uber-talented players. Years
ago the scene spawned drummer-turned-front
man Dave Grohl (out of Nirvana), and
now Fleet Foxes stick man Joshua Tillman
has left the group to further pursue his solo
career as a singer-songwriter-guitarist.
Truth is Tillman had already garnered lots
of attention for his beautiful if sad acoustic
vignettes that earned comparisons to Nick
Drake and Ryan Adams even as he played
drums in earlier bands, and he released the
solo effort Year in the Kingdom in 2009.
Now, indie-folk crooner Tillman has adopted
the pseudonym Father John Misty and put
out a 12-track collection called Fear Fun last
April that broadens the range, recalling as
critics have noted Harry Nilsson, Laura
Nyro and even the more modern (and also
fake-named) Edward Sharpe. WHEN: 9pm

1221 State Street, upstairs in Victoria Court

KIN SIS 2013 Santa Barbaras
dance community is clearly
close-knit whether that comes
off as in-bred or just casually
and cleverly connected. This

some of those relationships. Two

Tracy Kofford and UCSBs
Christopher Pilafan just

restructured debut with A Leap of Faith. Pilafans Kinesis contribution, Solo and
Trio, in fact is excerpted from Faith, while Koffords Grace is a choreographic
study based on one solo, performed by four different people using unique dynamics,
energy, spacing and partnering. Power/less, from Melissa Lynn Block, who
has previously performed in works by Misa & Stephen Kelly, is a dance about
female empowerment touching on strength, softness, and ability to both yield and
draw boundaries where needed. The Kellys, by the way, have their own work in the
program, along with fellow area choreographers Meredith Cabaniss, Melanie
Johnson, Lyn Wiltshire and Yvette Johnson, whose piece carries the intriguing
title Poor Roots Grow Rich. All in all, the sophisticated originals cover such genres as
ballet, lyrical, jazz, and American modern dance, all falling under the contemporary
umbrella. WHEN: 8pm Friday, 2 & 8pm tomorrow WHERE: Center Stage Theater,

1980s he moved to New York City to complete his graduate studies at the Manhattan
School of Music and Columbia University, where he formed the Grammy-nominated
band that exhibits an unbridled fusion of Arab, jazz, Western classical and Latin
American music. Considered one of the most signifcant Arab musicians, performers
and composers of his generation, Shaheen who received the prestigious National
Heritage Award in 1994 at the White House, served on the Presidents Advisory
Committee at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts during the Clinton
administration maintains a legacy of Middle Eastern music while busting boundaries

Looking At The Mid $3s
Real Estate by Mark Hunt
Mark and his wife, Sheela Hunt, are real estate agents. They live in Montecito with their daughter Sareena,
a sophomore at SBHS. His family goes back nearly one hundred years in the Santa Barbara area. Marks
grandparents Bill and Elsie Hunt were Santa Barbara real estate brokers for 25 years.
T
his has been a busy time in the
Montecito real estate world, as
a number of homes went into
escrow in the past week alone, includ-
ing four from my Best Buys list in
the mid-$2- to low-$3-million range,
which is basically Montecitos aver-
age home price. This price range
seems to be picking up increased inter-
est, while other price points are not
moving so quickly. This can change
week to week and month to month,
but for those (like me) who watch the
market closely and study inventory
in every price category, it becomes
interesting to note the ups and downs
of different price ranges, areas, etc
For instance, the $10-million-plus
market has been slow (compared to
this time last year when that mar-
ket was moving fast) the under-
a-million range is moving, but still
has many listings available that are
seemingly good deals. The $5-million
range is slower too. However, the hot
market currently is the mid-$2-million
to mid-$3-million range. There are, as
of this writing, 10 homes pending in
this narrow price range, out of a total
of 26 pending.
When I decided to focus on the mid-
$3-million market, and looked to see
what properties made sense to profile,
four listings jumped out at me as good
representations of what is available in
different areas and different types of
homes in this price range.
They are:
875 Rockbridge Road
$3,450,000
This gated contemporary estate
is in the Riven Rock area near East
Mountain Road, and has a resort-like
feel. The home sits comfortably on
1.07 fenced acres and offers privacy
and mountain views. The front yard
has a gazebo and Koi pond, and the
spacious backyard includes a pool,
BBQ terrace, & sprawling lawn. Inside
are three bedrooms, three and a half
baths, plus an office-den-nursery. The
master bedroom features a walk-in
closet with a security safe room.
Additionally, the home has high ceil-
ings, marble and wood floors and is in
the Cold Spring School District.
1010 Cima Linda Lane
$3,450,000
This mid-century modern home was
recently reduced by $500,000 and is on
.7 acres. The property features ocean
views from a close-in location. Walls
of glass create light-filled rooms and
the large living room offers plenty of
room for entertaining. The home also
features a very private pool area sur-
rounded by lush landscaping, areas
for lounging and entertaining and a
patio for tables and outdoor dining.
The master bedroom has a marble fire-
place, two baths and head-on ocean
views. There are three bedrooms in the
west wing of the home, with bedroom
number five off the kitchen, which
would serve as a nanny or maids
room. At the front of the home there is
a half-circle driveway for formal entry.
There is a second, more private access
to the home via a small lane, that leads
to the three-car garage with additional
off-street parking. This home really
feels like a compound and is virtually
private to other homes or the street,
as it sits up on a small knoll over-
looking the city. Cima Linda is in the
Cleveland School District.
1512 Miramar Beach Drive
$3,450,000
This beachfront home is right on
the sand at Miramar Beach and offers
panoramic ocean, island & coastline
views, not to mention direct beach
access from the back steps. Superb
craftsmanship, blending exotic
woods, copper, brass and stone into
smooth organic forms, is enjoyed
throughout this two-story beach cot-
tage. While the home is not large
(there is only one formal bedroom), it
does provide areas for relaxing, and
the patios on both levels allow for
indoor-outdoor living. This home has
been noted among local beachgoers
for its unique design. Miramar is in
the Montecito Union School District.
1775 Glen Oaks Drive
$3,495,000
This re-designed mid-century mod-
ern compound is on a creek-side acre in
Montecitos Glen Oaks area. The prop-
erty and the two homes on it offers
indoor-outdoor living and custom fin-
ishes done by one of the areas top
builders. Sprawling lawns and moun-
tain views are enjoyed in this most
quiet and peaceful setting. There is a
two-bedroom, two-bath main house, a
three-bedroom, two-bath guest house
and a detached studio. Glen Oaks is in
the Montecito Union School District.

properties, contact your Real Estate
agent or if you are not working with
anyone, please feel free to contact

C&G (Continued from page 37
Condor, Jeff says, is the broad
range of volunteers and peripheral
organizations involved in the con-
dors recovery. Los Padres Forest
Watch, for example, does these
micro-trash pick-ups, where they
go into the forest and pick up small
bits of trash that condors are prone
to pick up and bring back to the
nest. The chicks then ingest these
pieces of trash, which might be
bottle caps, shell casings, pieces
of glass. Its a big problem and it
was having a big effect on the con-
dors early on in the program when
the chicks were becoming impacted
with this trash.
Jan Hamber of the Museum of
Natural History and Anthony
Prieto, a coach at Crane School,
were intimately involved in helping
save the California Condor. Jan is
eighty-two years old and continues
to track the birds, Jeff notes admi-
rably.
The Condors Shadow really is
uplifting, Jeff says. The passion
that goes into this program that
makes this bird a success is really
moving. The mission of the film,
he concludes, is that, Hey, we can
fix this problem if we step up. Its
not a matter of laws; its a matter
of people recognizing their place in
the ecosystem. Its a good story.
Jeff doesnt have a fully evolved
next project in mind, but says hes
most interested in the unanticipated
consequences that human activity
has on the environment for other
creatures. For more, go to: www.
