Taxing Time in Montecito
I
ts appropriate that tax season begins on April Fools Day and ends with
the international call for distress: May Day. Next week, a good portion
of the 5,163 Montecito taxpayers will troop to the post office or press
TurboTax to transfer an estimated $261 million to the federal government,
paying an average of $50,500 per tax filer in ZIP code 93108 or 93150. At
the same time, Montecito taxpayers will have shipped off $154 million to
Sacramento, averaging $30,000 per taxpayer. And, this week, 4,184 home-
owners in the Montecito Fire District will pay their second installment on
the $82 million in 2012 property taxes owed to the County of Santa Barbara,
an average of $19,500 per homeowner.
Added together, Montecito will remit a staggering $497 million in federal,
state and local property taxes ($99,800 per taxpayer). The combined federal
income, state income and county property taxes account for an estimated
54.5% of the average adjusted gross income (AGI) of $183,000 per tax return
in Montecito.
Add in state and local sales taxes, federal and state gasoline taxes, licenses
and permit fees, corporate taxes, payroll taxes to fund Social Security,
Medicare taxes, excise taxes, custom duties, inheritance taxes, alcohol taxes,
cigarette taxes and all the other taxes imposed on citizens to pay the cost of
government, and it seems obvious that Montecito taxpayers are paying at
least their fair share. What about the rest of the country? By any reasonable
yardstick, wealthy Americans are paying their fair share, and then some.
According to IRS tax data for 2010:
The top 1% of U.S. taxpayers, with an adjusted gross income of at least
$369,691, earned 19% of the nations income, but paid over 37% of the
nations income taxes. The top 5% of taxpayers paid more federal income
taxes than the remaining 95% combined.
The top 10% of U.S. taxpayers, with an AGI in excess of $116,623,
earned 45% of the nations income, but paid 71% of the nations income
taxes.
The top 50% of U.S. taxpayers, with an AGI of more than $34,338, paid
97.6% of all income taxes, while the bottom 50% of U.S. taxpayers who
earned less than $34,338 paid just 2.4% of all income taxes.
More To Come
In 2014, nearly 77% of all Americans will see a tax increase. The fiscal
cliff tax changes, which went into effect on January 1, 2013, hiked payroll
taxes to fund Social Security from 4.2% to 6.2% for all workers and employ-
ers. Top marginal rates for the successful go from 35% to 39.6% with a corre-
sponding phase-down in deductions. The tax on dividends and capital gains
rises from 15% to 20% for high earners. The Senate has passed its version of
the 2013-14 federal budget, calling for an additional $975 billion in unspeci-
fied new taxes over the next 10 years. It must be reconciled with the House
version that calls for zero tax increases.
In the State of California, the top 10% of taxpayers paid 74% of the state
income tax last year. With the passage of Prop 30 in November 2012, the top
3% of California taxpayers will pay 13.3% instead of the previous 10.3%. The
boost of three percentage points in rate is a 29% boost in taxes. California
now has the highest state tax rate in the nation, surpassing Hawaii. Prop
30 gives California the highest state sales tax rate in the nation at 7.5%.
Corporations will also see their taxes raised, reinforcing Californias reputa-
tion as the least desirable state in which to own or operate a business.
In the City of Santa Barbara, Mayor Helene Schneider in her State of the
City address on March 21, indicated she would like to see Santa Barbara add
a -cent increase to the current sales tax of 8%.
The push for ever-higher taxes in order to pay extravagant salaries and
benefits to federal, state, and city workers seems infinite. Most economists
concede, however, that higher marginal tax rates reduce the incentive to
work; they remove risk capital from the private sector; they dampen job
creation, and they depress economic growth. Perhaps we should heed the
advice of Benjamin Franklin when he wrote in Poor Richards Almanac, It
would be a hard government that should tax its people one-tenth part of
their income. What would Ben say about Montecitos average tax rate of
54.5%? Think about that on April 15, as you pay your fair share. MJ

Miscellany
by Richard Mineards
Richard covered the Royal Family for Britains Daily Mirror and Daily Mail before moving to New York
to write for Rupert Murdochs newly launched Star magazine in 1978; Richard later wrote for New York
magazines Intelligencer. He continues to make regular appearances on CBS, ABC, and CNN, and
moved to Montecito six years ago.
T
he 14 hour-plus 6,500 mile flight
from the West Coast to Hong
Kong is not for the faint heart-
ed, but it makes it a great deal more
palatable when you are one of the few
passengers on a Boeing 777, which has
a capacity of 550 people.
Montecito-based Beach Boy Bruce
Johnston and his band mates found
themselves in that enviable position
when they attended a dinner hosted
by Boeing at the Museum of Flight
in Seattle to celebrate the delivery
to Cathay Pacific Airlines of a new
300ER version of the long-range twin
engined jet, the 31st of 50 the 67-year-
old company has ordered.
John Slosar, the CEO of Cathay
Pacific, is an old friend and he invited
the band and crew to travel with him
on the delivery flight to Hong Kong,
where they are headquartered, says
Bruce Johnston and his CBS producer girlfriend,
Mattina Lloyd, posing on the rim of the Boeing
777s jet engine

Bruce. Before the plane departed the
following day, we had an amazing
tour of Boeings manufacturing facil-
ity in Everett, Washington.
Our flight was on a non-commer-
cial travel day and we only had a total
of forty guests on this huge plane. My
girlfriend, Mattina, and I were even
able to sit in the cockpit for the take
off!
As the plane does not have a first-
class section, everybody traveled in
business class.
The service was beyond perfect
and we certainly had a lot of room to
walk around during the flight, given
the hundreds of unoccupied seats.
The timing of the flight couldnt
have been better as the group was per-
forming at the Venetian Macao resort,
followed 16 hours later with a concert
at Hong Kong Stadium as part of the
popular Rugby Sevens event.
The tour continued with a perfor-
mance in Shanghai and four in Tokyo...
Lowe, Rob Lowe
Rob Lowe hasnt played James
Bond, but the 49-year-old actor isnt
above imitating him.
Longtime Montecito resident Rob
took flight with the help of a jet-
pack in Newport Beach last week
and was completely prepared for the
occasion in a wetsuit and helmet,
with the $68,500 German Jetlev equip-
ment on his back, like former 007s in
Thunderball and Die Another Day.
Launching himself, NBCs Parks and
Recreation star soared over the Pacific,
clearly enjoying his new found super-
hero powers.
Before he took off, though, he admit-
ted his trepidation.
Im appropriately, respectfully
frightened, he told Mens Journal.
But not enough to keep me from
doing it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Value Of State Water
F
inding and delivering water to
the community is Montecito
Water Districts top priority.
Since the formation of the District in
1921, water supply reliability has
been a challenge. In 1973, the District
entered into a 20-year water supply
emergency. Water prices during this
two-decade-long water shortage rose
by 300-400%, with penalties for over-
use ranging from $30 per HCF, to
imprisonment and a $600 fine.
In 1991, the Montecito community
voted to join the State Water Project
because there was no other local water
available. The delivery of State Water
made it possible for the District to
rescind the water supply emergency
ordinance and return to lower water
rates.
The question is: Does the communi-
ty still receive value from State Water?
The simple answer is: yes, a tremen-
dous amount of value.
Without State Water, we would still
be in a water supply emergency. Each
and every year, the District receives
between 620 and 700 acre-feet of
State Water through a unique water
exchange agreement with a fellow
Cachuma Project member. This per-
manent addition to our water sup-
ply, along with our other supplies,
provides the District with the ability
to meet customer demand during nor-
mal years.
When periods of dry weather cause
higher water demand (as is the case
this year), the District orders direct
deliveries of State Water. This year
we are also receiving additional
State Water we have banked in the
Central Valley. Without these sources,
the District would have no choice but
to once again impose severe water
restrictions and costly penalties for
overuse.
A case in point is the Marin Municipal
Water District, an affluent community
north of San Francisco. Marin has a
single-family residential rate structure
similar to Montecitos. Marin, howev-
er, does not have a strong water sup-
ply portfolio, resulting in very high
rates beyond the first tier, with prices
nearly four times Montecitos highest
tier. The high rates are imposed to
force conservation.
Without State Water, the water rates
in Montecito would be similar to those
in Marin. State Water actually helps
keep our water rates lower con-
trary to what is being reported. Use
water wisely, because all Montecito
residents depend on every drop we
have, including State Water, to keep
our community green and beautiful.

A Wild Trail
I saw these yesterday and had
not noticed them before. They are
Montecitos very own wildflower trail
over on Old Coast Highway by the
roundabout. I thought you may have
a spot for them, as I had never noticed
them before but they are a pretty addi-
tion to our neighborhood!

Home Cooked Odors
It was interesting to read Village
Beat (MJ # 19/12) about the new cot-
tage food law that would allow folks
to prepare baked goods, jams, jellies,
popcorn and other clearly defined
food products in their homes.
But I had to laugh when reading
some proposed limitations, including
verbiage that could limit noxious
cooking odors likely to become a nui-
sance.
Imagine that: the smell of freshly
baked bread or muffins, a pot of apri-
cots being stirred for jam or chocolate
being melted to make turtles or some
other such sweet confection, a nui-
sance? I cant imagine a more welcom-
ing odor than home cooking.
Which makes me wonder, is there
an ordinance about cigarette smoke
from neighbors houses?

(Editors note: Nice catch, Ms
Westbrook! For libertarians such as we,
our observation is that once government
gets hold of an issue it never lets go.
Rules, restrictions, fines, and permits gen-
erally follow even the best of intentions.
And not to worry: some day there will be
an ordinance about cigarette smoke from
neighbors houses. J.B.)
How Much Will It Cost?
In reference to your ongoing dis-
cussion (Letters to the Editor, MJ #
19/11, 19/12): it is absurd for the USA
to sign on to a carbon tax or an all-out
assault on carbon emissions when
India and China are continuing to
increase the use of fossil fuels. Already,
we are no longer the worlds largest
polluter; China now emits more CO2
than we do. For California to have a
global warming policy is as absurd as
Santa Barbara having its own foreign
policy.
Something I always like to do is to
ask people to quantify. How much will
it cost and what will it do? Another
question is: If we do X can they guar-
antee Earths temperature will fall by
Y?
The predictions made by the climate
models 10 years ago have simply not
come true. But that has not convinced
supporters to think again; instead,
they have redoubled their efforts to
convince us about global warming.
It is important to realize how sel-
dom anyone changes their ideas once
they are firmly formed in their minds.
This applies to scientists just as much
as anyone else.
Generations ago, Max Planck wrote:
A scientific truth does not triumph
by convincing its opponents and mak-
ing them see the light, but rather
because its opponents eventually die
and a new generation grows up that is
familiar with it.
Christopher Columbus went to his
grave convinced he had discovered
China. Fred Hoyle, arguably one of
the most brilliant men of the 20th
century, believed in the Steady-State
Universe. He was never persuaded
of the Big Bang, even though just
about every contemporary cosmolo-
gist came to believe it, particularly
after Penzias discovered The Cosmic
Microwave Background Radiation.
Albert Einstein never believed in
quantum mechanics.
With Global Warming alarmists such
as Trenberth and Hansen, no mat-
ter how convincingly the data might
show they are wrong, they claim they
are scientific and they absolutely
know the truth, whereas they know

nothing of the kind. Can you imagine
them saying, for example, We are so
sorry, we made a mistake, billions and
billions have been misspent because
of our theories?
Do you appreciate that the whole
global warming brouhaha depends
entirely upon the numerical models?
There is no empirical evidence that
raising CO2 will cause the tempera-
ture of the earth to rise. You have to
make a model that shows that the
small amount of heat captured by this
small amount of carbon dioxide some-
how has an amplified effect to cause
significant warming. If the models are
wrong then the whole thing is wrong.
Having spent a lifetime working with
numerical models I am acutely aware
of their deficiencies. You can always
change some part of the model to get
the info you want. To have credibility,
what you must do is build a model
that forecasts the future and then have
that prediction come true. Of course
this simply has not happened.
As far as I can tell, a central fac-
tor in the Stock Market and Housing
Collapse of 2008 was the use of
numerical models to predict the value
of various financial instruments. It
turns out the models were wrong. If they
got the stock market wrong, what
reason is there to think they got the
weather right?

and work among a group of True
Believers.

Prepping
For The next Drought
Thanks for the informative article
on Montecitos water issues (MJ #
12/12 & 12/13).
While it is widely accepted that
50% to 80% of all residential water
goes to landscape irrigation, what is
less frequently mentioned is that up
to 50% or more of that water is wast-
ed. It is wasted by broken or poorly
adjusted systems, and especially by
irrigating plants with more water than
they actually need. This overuse often
results in runoff or the percolation of
water to soil depths far below where
the plant roots can get it. This excess
water has been known to carry toxic
chemicals and bacteria into our creeks,
groundwater and the ocean.
Why would citizens of this envi-
ronmentally enlightened community
waste water? Most people, includ-
ing most landscape professionals,
decide how much and how often to
water by the seat of their pants. The
result is more often than not, playing
it safe and overwatering. Irrigation
systems are often operated by auto-
matic controllers, which, unless prop-
erly programmed and monitored, will
overwater landscapes on a regular
basis and usually at night when runoff
sneaks off, unnoticed.
One would think that even if people
didnt notice water waste in their gar-
dens, that they would notice it on their
water bills. The fact is that local resi-
dents pay somewhere between 1/2 to
3/4 of a cent for one gallon of potable
water; at that price, what is the finan-
cial incentive to save or even to take
water seriously? The math and tech-
nology for irrigating more efficiently
are available. The next drought is here
and before long, water rates will start
to go up.
Rob Lane
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: Right you are, Mr. Lane!
Part of the problem, as I see it, is that
many homeowners dont know where to go
or who to ask other than gardeners who
may or may not know what to do about
fixing their automated sprinkler and drip
systems. We never, for example, see any
advertising based upon this kind of exper-
tise. The betting here is that there is a
large and fruitful market out there wait-
ing to be informed and willing to spend
the money to fix whatever problems have
arisen over time. J.B.)
note From
An Independent
Being an Independent, I find some
of your continuous comments that
the right only wants to ensure the
vote when voter fraud has been
shown to occur less than one time per
state per year during the last decade
very transparent, and a turn-off to
Independents like myself. The right
isnt fooling anyone with that position
anymore.
Secondly, concerning Obamas birth
place, the argument from the right has
wrecked havoc on the image of the
Republican Party, and is the reason
specifically that my father a life-
long Republican has left the party,
and now claims Independent. A 2011
Washington/ABC News poll showed
only 10% of Americans believed
Obama was born in another country.
Is the Montecito Journal that far out of
the mainstream?
If you go to snopes.com, maybe the
definitive resource for myths, rumors
and misinformation, it says specifical-
ly that a promotional booklet put out
claiming Obama was born in Kenya,
has already been debunked by the edi-
tor who said the claim was an error,
and she was in fact never contacted by
Obama before publication of the small
booklet. As well, a 1990 New York Times
article published a year before the
Acton and Dystel promotional book-
let was issued, identified Obamas

in all sorts of fairytale garb. There
was even a side room photo op with
a long table set for the Mad Hatters
tea party, with cups that stuck to their
saucers and other hallucinations.
Marymount is a school for pre-kin-
dergarten through eighth grade, and
each grade had a class project to be
auctioned off. Some were presold and
the rest were priceless. There was a
school video, raffles and a live auc-
tion during and after dinner. Popular
items were a staycation at the newly
re-opened El Encanto, an Under the
Cheshire Moon Tea Garden Cocktail
Party for 30 couples and a precious
English cream retriever puppy with
champion pedigree lines.
Headmaster Andrew Wooden told
me, The proceeds of tonight will go
to faculty professional development,
new learning spaces and twenty-first
century technology. With 300 attend-
ees they raised about $375,000. Their
motto is, If you can imagine it, you

I believe I saw Alice dancing with
the Mad Hatter just before she skipped
out the rabbit hole. And thats the end
of the fairytale until next year.
Women Of Inspiration

annual Garden to Table celebra-
tion in honor of three Women of
O
nce upon a time a little girl
name Alice fell down a rab-
bit hole and the magic began.
When Marymount School parents
and friends arrived at the Montecito
Country Club, instead of the usual
door, there was a rabbit hole. After
crawling through it, the magic began.
Marymount threw a fundraiser that
wont soon be forgotten and we spent
an evening with the Mad Hatter and
all his friends, including Tweedle
Dum, Tweedle Dee, and the Queen of
Hearts. The green caterpillar (a man
painted green, I think) was sitting atop
a six-foot-tall mushroom smoking a
hookah. I didnt see the Cheshire Cat,
but Im sure he was there. It was all
the brainchild of co-chairs Kamala

Inspiration: Beth Cox, Dorothy
Largay and Pamela Lewis. The co-
chairs Kathleen de Chadenedes, Nini
Seaman and Sandra Tyler did an
expert job of turning the gym into a
charming dining room. This year was
a picnic theme with blue check table-
cloths and umbrellas scattered about.
At each place was a fresh edible plant
to take home to grow and eat.
Beth Cox has followed her par-
ents active community volunteerism
beginning at SBCC with Shelter
Services for Women. While attend-
ing San Francisco State, the Mayor
Willie Brown honored her for creat-
ing a Domestic Violence Prevention
Program for the public schools in San
Francisco. After returning from San
Francisco, she worked here in that
field and at the Santa Barbara Rape
Crisis Center. When her father died
from melanoma cancer, she chaired
the Carpinteria Relay for Life, raising
more than $100,000 in the past four
years.
Dorothy Largay is founder and CEO
of Linked Foundation in Carpinteria,
which is dedicated to alleviating
poverty by improving the health of
women in Latin America. She told
me, I travel to South America at least
three times a year. Her work has
helped over 150,000 women and their
families. Further, The problems are
too big to think small, says Dorothy.
Eureka scholarship program invests
in girls to prepare them for college
and is a core program that Linked also
supports. And the list goes on.
Pamela Lewis always knew she
could do and be anything she want-
ed. She joined the Hutton Foundation
in May 1996 as executive director. She
is liaison between grant applicants
and funding selection committees,
advocacy for applicants, evaluation
and management of new and special
initiatives and much more. She has
held board positions for many local
nonprofit organizations, including
Girls Inc. of Carpinteria.
All these honorees help our girls
learn that they too can be strong,
smart and bold. That goes for the
inspirational speaker Sarah Elizabeth
Ippel as well. She came all the way
from Chicago to tell her story. She had
earned a Masters of Philosophy at the
University of Cambridge in England
and then traveled to over 80 countries
across six continents to learn their
educational philosophies. Her lifes
mission became education reform
and at age 23 she rode her bicycle
to the Chicago Board of Education
with a simple request: to reimagine
what is possible in public education
today. It took three years, but in 2008
the Academy for Global Citizenship
opened in a former dental tool factory
on the citys underserved southwest
side.

Carpinteria, crediting her success
to the club. Thirteen year old Maria
Zamora participated last summer in
Eureka, which sends kids to UCSB for
four weeks to participate in a variety of
events and to make them comfortable
on a college campus. Maria laughed
and told of a solar experiment they
did. When there was no sun it still
melted the smores and nachos. She
returns again this summer.
Girls Inc. executive director Victoria
Juarez is justifiably proud of the
groups accomplishments. Out of
eighteen scholarships given across
the country, five of them went to
Carpinteria. Each won $500, which
was put in trust for them to use for
college.
Past president of the board of trust-
ees Craig Price told the audience,
Unfortunately there are more girls
that could benefit, but there often
arent enough scholarships for those
that cant pay. It costs about $100 per
week for after school enrichment. If
anyone would like to contribute, there

Romance To Reality
The Visiting Professor of Surgery
Endowment Fund was established in
December 2012 by Ron Latimer, MD
(Emeritus) and Sansum Clinic. For one
week each year a prominent national
or international surgeon is invited to
Santa Barbara to lecture and mentor
practicing local surgeons and general
surgical residents. This years guest
was a world-renowned professor of
surgery, Hiram C. Polk, MD, from
Louisville, Kentucky. During his 34
years as Chairman of the Department
of Surgery there, this icon trained
more than 230 general surgeons. As
Dr. Latimer said, We bring in an
expert so we can pick his brains.
Dr. Polk also gave two lectures open
to the public and donors in Burtness
Auditorium at Cottage Hospital.
During one talk they were having
technical difficulties with the com-
puter images. Sansum CEO and Chief
Medical Officer Dr. Kurt Ransohoff
wanted us to know, The guy who
fixed the glitch was no other than
Chief Resident of General Surgery
at Cottage Steve Chang, M.D. It just
proves that general surgeons can, in
fact, do anything!
Dr. Polks talk was not about surgery
but about the horse world: Romance
to Reality: Thoroughbred Breeding
and Racing in the 21
st
Century. He
quoted Reagans famous line, There
is something about the outside of a
horse that is good for the inside of a
man.
Dr. Polks avocation has always been
the breeding and raising of thorough-
bred horses. It began during medical
school when he worked at Suffolk
Downs and contributed writings to
The Thoroughbred Record.
Horse racing began about a thou-
sand years ago when the Bedouins
would race their horses in the des-
ert. In this century there is a chal-
lenge with the Kentucky bloodlines
by overseas breeding particularly
France and Germany. Dr. Polk is also
concerned about the questionable
medicinal usages in present day horse
racing. Some owners and vets are just
trying to get one more race out of a
horse. The doctor works with various
groups, hoping to improve the condi-
tions.
The audience crossed the street to
Sansums waiting room for a recep-
tion complete with wine, delicious
bites and the unveiling of a donor
board for the Visiting Professor of
Surgery Endowment Fund. MJ

Eyes on Hadley
Los Angeles-based food writer
Hadley Tomicki has been getting his
moment in the spotlight.
Hadley, the 36-year-old son of
Montecito travel writer Bill Tomicki,
appeared in a lengthy feature on culi-
nary scribes in the L.A. Times.
He launched Grub Street L.A. for
New York Magazine where I was a con-
tributing editor on the Intelligencer
column three years ago, and has
done 7,500 posts online.
Hadley tells writer Randy Clemens
it is not uncommon for him to be
working six or seven days a week a lot
of the time.
Funnily enough, I still spend a lot
of my free time stuffing my face and
trying to catch up with new restau-
rants and old favorites... I love explor-
ing L.A., which just keeps giving and
getting bigger and more interesting as
you branch out of your comfort zones.
I feel very fortunate to have a job
where I learn something new every
day. Its like a school dedicated to the
senses. Cuisine is art, cooking is sci-
ence, food is culture, history and agri-
culture, biology, anthropology, and
even fashion. All these things.
Food is a subject that just pulls you
in deeper and deeper. Once you think
youve learned something, you only
realize just how much more you have
to learn.
No doubt Bill, who publishes the
Entree travel newsletter, would agree...
CSI: Montecito
The normally sedate Peppers care
home in Montecito, just a tiaras toss
from the estates of actress Drew
Barrymore and Law & Order produc-
er, Dick Wolf, turned into a crime
show set when Santa Barbara Police
Departments Crisis Negotiation
Response Team staged a mock train-
ing exercise at the property.
The interactive spectacle was better
than live theater for the seniors and
excellent real world training for the
police, says David Sullins, owner of
the home.
The training exercise started when
crisis team members were dispatched
to deal with an elderly man suffering
dementia who had barricaded himself
in and threatening to hurt himself.
Adding to the drama was the fact the
senior only spoke Swedish.
Taking it all in were the homes
other seniors.

Costellos Karma Chow
Santa Barbara author Melissa
Costello describes her new tome, The
Karma Chow: Ultimate Cookbook, as a
smorgasbord of planet friendly fare.
I fought multiple diseases during
my New Jersey childhood, Melissa
told me at a launch bash at Tecolote,
the tony tome temple in the Upper
Village.
I gave up eating red meat at nine-
teen and started experimenting with
healthy plant-based food. Five years
ago I started Karma Chow and became
a personal chef to fitness guru, Tony
Horton, who developed the popular
P90X boot camp style exercise system.
There are more than one hundred
and twenty-five plant-based vegan
recipes in the book with no sugar,
no gluten, nothing processed and no
tofu.
Melissa, who took a year to com-
plete her project, is also the creator
of The Vital Life 30-Day Food Based
Cleanse, which has become popular
among Hollywood celebrities, as well
as followers worldwide, and also co-
hosts the online cooking and yoga
series, Food & Flow...
Remembering Betsy
One of the worlds first supermod-
els, Betsy Pickering Kaiser, was
remembered by friends at a lunch at
Tre Lune, one of her favorite watering
holes, the other day.
Betsy was at Sarah Lawrence College
in Bronxville, New York, when she
was signed up by the top Eileen Ford
agency and became a firm fashion
photographer favorite, including leg-
endary shutterbug Richard Avedon,
who was played by Fred Astaire in
the 1957 Stanley Donen film classic,
Funny Face, with Audrey Hepburn.
Id known Betsy for more than
forty years after meeting in New York,
where we both lived, says Carolyn
Amory, who joined Susan St. John,
Barbara Woods and Joan Benson to
reminisce.
She was charming, warm and
friendly. Instantly likable. She was
also amazingly chic and at the height
of her long career as a top model in
America and Europe.
Betsy was also on Eleanor
Lamberts famous best dressed list for
many years. An extremely kind, gra-
cious and generous person.
Barbara, a former advertising agen-
cy executive in Manhattan, first dealt
with her professionally and over time
became a good friend.
Betsy had an incredible lifestyle,
modeling for Dior and hanging out
with Halston. She just had that look
and a total charisma. She was the best
dressed woman I had ever known.
She grew with the times. It made her
seem younger.
And she loved Tre Lune and wed
all get together for lunch every couple
of months or so. I think it reminded
her of New York.
An enormous character, much
missed...
Chocolate de Vine
Santa Barbara Womans Club was
jammed with 225 sweet tooths and
oenophiles when the Rape Crisis
Center threw its fifth annual Chocolate
de Vine bash, raising around $40,000
for the 39-year-old charity.
It has really become increasingly
popular over the years, says execu-
tive director Elsa Granados.
We certainly need all the help we
can get with numbers skyrocketing
because of the bad economy. Sadly,
our case loads are increasing.
The gastronomic gala, emceed by
Sean English, also featured an auc-
tion, with prizes including a stay at
a home in Spain and a behind-the-
scenes private tour of Hearst Castle.
Nine chocolatiers. including
Renaud Gonthier, Suzon Bishop and
Marc Borowitz, joined 12 local winer-
ies for the bountiful bash, with three
judges, Jean-Michel Carree, Indera
Mortensen and Lys Gabriella Poet,
rating the best offerings.
Scrumptious!...
Easter Feast
Santa Barbaras Rescue Mission
got a bumper crop of guests for its
annual Easter Feast.
Having changed the time of the
meal to avoid it clashing with other
Easter events, more than 200 people
turned out to enjoy the bountiful
repast of ham, green bean casserole
and macaroni and cheese, topped off
with poached pears and chocolate
cake.
As usual, I joined 20 other volun-
teers waiting and cleaning tables in
the festively decorated hall, while
executive director Rolf Geyling
joined in with his two sons, Chris
and Max, and daughter, Olivia.
It costs only $1.50 to give one
guest a meal and it really is appre-

birth place as Hawaii according to
snopes.com. Even the rights former
hero the fiery Andrew Bartlett said
Obama was born in Hawaii.
The right should take a hint from
Jeb Bush at the recent CPAC confer-
ence when he said, Too often were
associated with anti-everything. Way
too may people believe Republicans
are anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-
science, anti-gay, anti-worker, and the
list goes on and on and on. He didnt
say this because of a messaging prob-
lem the right has. He said it because
the Republican Party has literally been
taken hostage by the extreme fringe
elements of the movement. Even Newt
Gringrich chastised Republicans for
their anti-idea approach to govern-
ing.
You can say that Republicans are
just filibustering because theyre on
the other side of the aisle. Dissent and
disagreement are fundamental to our
democracy. But your crazy fringe has
turned your party into something that
basically doesnt function anymore; so
much so that your own leaders have
found it necessary to ring the alarm
bells.
Sue Kelsey
Montecito
(Editors note: Thank you for your let-
ter. If Voter ID is a turn-off, then
well agree to disagree. Wed opt for a
one-day voting day with no absentee or
mail-in ballots (other than military) and
purple ink at the polls with which to dunk
voters thumbs into.
How does writing that because of a
promotional brochure put out by Mr.
Obamas literary agency touting their
Kenyan-born writer, Barack Obama,
there are some who dont want to give that
up, become the Montecito Journal being
far out of the mainstream? There are
people who do not want to give up on the
idea that our president was not born on
U.S. soil. Apparently, there are many in
Kenya who believe he was born in Kenya.
So what? Hes our president, duly elected.
As for the statement that the Republican
Party basically doesnt function any-
more, what does that say for all the
states that have turned to Republican
leadership over the last decade? We do
agree that, at least in states such as
California, the Republican Party really
does not function anymore. As for us,
less spending, less agreement, and more
arguing means less lawmaking, which
translates into retaining what few free-
doms there are left for individuals. If that
means the crazy fringe is in charge,
well, thats okay by us. J.B.)
Direct Address
I have no problem responding to
Mr. Ralph T. Iannelli, and even shall
address him as Mr. Iannelli, even with
the odd insinuation from him that my
addressing him previously as the
writer (Campaigner In Chief MJ
# 19/13) which is standard practice
in letters to the editor was either
somehow disrespectful or flippant,
which it of course was not.
Mr. Iannelli claims that Democrats
are more likely than Republicans to all
sing from the same hymn book. Ask
100 Republicans and 100 Democrats
who this is more true of: guaran-
teed, most on both sides would say
the other are the true guilty party.
Both sides have great weaknesses and
great strengths something most on
both sides would also disagree with;
and would certainly contradict Mr.
Iannellis statement that I believe all
Republicans are incapable of holding
different views on different subjects.
Mr. Iannelli also unfortunately states,
I am sorry you think Republicans
are uncaring, mean-spirited, greedy
folks who only take and do not give
back. Nowhere did I say that, and
have never believed that. Republicans
do honorable, great work giving to
charity, and is their way of contribut-
ing and making a difference. Liberals
are seen maybe more as ones whose
emphasis is pushing the arts, the sci-
ences, attending to the malleable in
myriad ways that have benefitted our
society and our world, and that is
their way of contributing and giving
back. Again, both sides have great
strengths.
Mr. Iannelli brings up Voter ID laws,
and wonders how they could stifle
Democrats, claiming minorities, the
poor and younger voters voted in
greater numbers in 2012. This issue
was a rallying cry and motivator
for Democrats to get to the polls,
after Republicans, knowing full well
approximately 11% of Americans 23
million of voting age lacked proper
photo ID, disproportionately affecting
low-income, minorities, and younger
voters those statistically shown to
lean Democrat. (Political strategists,
knowing many of these laws could be
struck down, took their chances any-
way this last election.)
Mr. Iannelli asserts well known
Dems dont know how to compro-
mise. Its now known and none have
denied it that on Obamas inaugura-
tion day 2009, a group of Republicans,
including Newt Gingrich, Paul Ryan
and Eric Cantor as written by New
York Times magazine contributor
Robert Draper conspired to under-
mine and sabotage Americas econ-
omy (think phony debt ceiling crisis
which led to the financial downgrade
of America, when Republicans never
previously had a problem raising the
debt ceiling) as well as obstructing
Obama legislatively (think record fili-
busters) while of course cementing
their position as the Party of No. (Mr.
Iannelli fails to address any of this.)
Mr. Iannelli asks about Simpson-
Bowles. Its always a fascinating
thing when Republicans complain
Democrats arent cleaning up the
financial disaster fast enough that
Republicans put this country in over
the last decade. Republican Alan
Simpson of Simpson-Bowles was cor-
rect when he said Obamas endorse-
ment of the plan would have never
won over Republicans, and might
have been toxic. He stated when it
came to Obama, Their venom is even
better than rattlesnake fangs. Mr.
Obama did endorse some parts of the
plan, despite Mr. Iannellis statement.
In the end, Obama should have fought
harder.
Im proud that this country
through all its weaknesses has real-
ized the GOP has only been working
for themselves after putting this coun-
try in the worst financial shape since
the Great Depression. And through all
of it, amazingly, we get Republicans

Words From Welches
Hello to all at the Montecito Journal!
I miss seeing the MJ on a regular
basis, but I happened to be in town
last week and was delighted to see
that Andy Granatelli was your cover
boy. It made me go back into the
archives and pull out a photo that
Andy was kind enough to pose for
as he tooled around the classic car
show in Carpinteria. He was wonder-
ful then, and it is good to know that
he is still so much loved. Give my best
regards to all the staff at Montecito
Journal.

trician and golfer who lived in Santa

Last Minute Changes
I have been surprised by the recent
last-minute efforts to change the
Highway 101 plans through Montecito
by the Montecito Association and an
organization named Common Sense
101. They have a lot of funding, and
are well organized.
I wonder where all these folks were
last year when the public meetings
were held with Caltrans to discuss
this project with their project man-
ager and engineers. I attended a very
informative and well planned meet-
ing in April of last year where many
Montecito community members
attended to become well informed
and gave feedback. The meeting was
held at the Montecito Country Club
and well advertised in the community
ahead of time.
I do agree that this project is going to
be a pain for Montecito residents while
it is under construction. However, this
project, once done, will be something
we deal with and use for the rest of
our lives, and probably for the rest of
our childrens lives, so it is important
to be done correctly. Thus, arguments
by Common Sense 101 on the over-
all length of time it will take for the
project to be completed are not as
important as the final product being
built with the best possible final out-
come. Also, while commendable, on
an approximately $300 million dollar
project, their goal of saving Caltrans
$50 million of already allocated high-
way funds is not as important as
doing the project properly and for the
best final outcome for the next genera-
tion to use.
Now, I share some of the concerns
voiced by Common Sense 101, but
not all of their views.
I agree with their list of unaddressed
safety and congestion issues:
1) Olive Mill southbound on-ramp
short merge safety and congestion
issues;
2) San Ysidro southbound off-ramp
safety and congestion issue;
3) San Ysidro/Posilipo southbound
on-ramp extreme safety issue and
congestion when Miramar rebuild.
However, I have read their brochure
and read their entire web site, and I do
not see any plans on how they would
address these unaddressed safety and
congestion Issues listed above.
I would love for Caltrans and
SBCAG to modify their plans to
address these concerns. Yet I would
also love Common Sense 101 to
have better plans and maps to explain
to me how their plans would fix
these unaddressed safety and conges-
tion Issues.
One of the main disastrous ideas of
the Community Coalition Alternative
(CCAP) plan is to change the Los
Patos off-ramp to a southbound on-
ramp. This is a bad idea, as now all
southbound traffic coming from the
tourist lodging of the Santa Barbara
waterfront will have to wait in line,
and make a left turn across oncoming
traffic of Cabrillo Blvd.
The alternate Caltrans plan of add-
ing a Cabrillo Blvd southbound on-
ramp that this Santa Barbara water-
front traffic could take a right turn to
access makes a lot more sense.
Another problem I have with the
CCAP plan is in their belief that keep-
ing fast-lane on-ramps are fine. I
believe fast-lane on-ramps are unsafe,
and furthermore, cause traffic to slow
down and back up when the freeway
is busy. People are not ready for vehi-
cles merging into them in the freeway
fast lane, and thus brake, and cause
the freeway to back up when the free-
way is congested. People deal with
vehicles merging from their right, into
the freeway slow lane, in a much more
traffic friendly and efficient manner.
Thus, the Caltrans plan to replace the
fast lane on-ramp is a good plan, and
the plan to keep the fast lane on-ramp
at Sheffield by CCAP is not smart.
Thank you for considering my
input.
Sincerely,
Blair Whitney
(Lifetime resident of Montecito)
(Editors note: You must be numbered
among the few residents who really under-
stand all that has been proposed, and your
misgivings and concerns are right on the
money. Please continue to attend what-
ever meetings Caltrans, SBCAG, or the
Montecito Association have on this issue, as
you really know your stuff and Montecito
seriously needs your input. J.B.)
Control of Our Lives
I attended the Board of
Supervisors meeting on Tuesday,
The Supes voted 3-2 to implement a
Climate Action Plan that included a
15% reduction in carbon emissions.
Although the plan had 5 options,
the board was led and pressured
by Supervisor Carbajal to accept
option 4, which included manda-
tory energy audits with required
fixes, new renewable requirements
for new houses and developments,
and mandatory audits and fixes
when selling a house. (toilets, show-
erheads, heaters, duct joints, fau-
cets).
Option 4 is costly, intrusive,
and violates our private property
rights. Even more troubling, the
entire plan was financed by SCE,
the Gas Company, and an undis-
closed grant. At the hearing, one
environmental group after anoth-
er spoke, so I assume they are
involved also.
Get informed citizens of Santa
Barbara County. Who will pay for
this and what are the costs (not
revealed)? What will happen if some-
one cannot afford the audits and
fixes? Why are people in unincorpo-
rated area only affected (not cities +
Vandenberg)?
What will it take for you to wake
up? Once again the government is try-
ing to control our lives.

Just Between Us
J
eremy Tessmer, the Gallery
Director at Sullivan Goss, has curat-
ed an exhibit with a provocatively
fresh statement for the traditionally
inclined gallery. The new show open-
ing April 4 at the Vollmer Gallery
titled Just Between Us is a group show
of three artists Wesley Anderegg,
Rafael Perea de la Cabada and Maria
Rendon, each with different mediums
and personal inspirations. Influences
noted in their works range from sur-
realism to core Latino narrative art in
a modernist fashion.
Perea is well known in Santa Barbara
for his pieces of art throughout our
town, in addition to prime commis-
sions for the city, such as his ceramic
tile works that decorate the sidewalks
of Cabrillo Boulevard (which he did
with Richard Irvine), and as faculty
in the Fine Arts Department at Santa
Barbara City College. Marias fine art
has seen the walls of the Santa Barbara
Museum of Art, Westmont Ridley-Tree
Museum of Art, Contemporary Arts
Forum, Atkinson Gallery at SBCC,
and now Lotuslands current Swarm
Exhibit, all while pursuing her MFA
from UCSB. Wesleys playful sculp-
tures from various materials yielded a
prolific 22 solo exhibitions in 26 years.
Heres what the artists shared in my
preview of the works during its instal-
lation on Sunday:
Q. Jeremy, what was your inspiration
to bring these artists and the works they
are showing together in one show, and
does the art collectively have a message?
Jeremy: Putting these three together
was an intuitive move. They dont
quite all go together, but there are
interesting intersections between
Rafael and Maria Rendon and Rafael
and Wesley Anderegg. Getting from
Wesley to Maria requires a big leap,
but thats what makes the exhibi-
tion so fun and challenging. Narrative
art is not dead. Personal history and
imagination still have vital roles to
play in contemporary art practice.
Highly personal work can still reach
a very wide audience if artists employ
abstraction, either through reduction,
characterization, or generalization. It
is that layer of uncertainty of ambi-
guity that abstraction creates that
lets others enter the work, care about
it, maybe even project their own pri-
vate stories into it.
Maria, after viewing your works in the
show, what would you hope and wish the
viewers feel about your works individual-
ly and also collectively as a group exhibit?
Maria: I would like the viewer of
my work to fill in the blanks and instill
meaningful metaphors. I want them to
create their own realities. I value the
dialogue between the viewer and my
paintings.
Maria, Wesley and Rafael, how do the
works in this exhibit speak about your
life? Is your artist statement purely per-
sonal, or do you feel the viewer can
relate to the life elements you wish to
convey?
Maria: The works in this exhibition
stem from a personal experience and
were initially meant to build con-
nections with my paralyzed (now
deceased) mother: bridging the dis-
tance that exists between her and me.
Her condition triggered me to explore
the space between perception and
reality. The impression of what is
not there interests me as much as
what is there.
Rafael: The more personal the more
universal.
Wesley: I make what I am interested
in. It can be personal, social, politi-
cal, environmental, no topic is out of
bounds.
Rafael, given the noted surrealistic
influence in the art, would you say it is
intentional, and what or who would you
say is your strongest inspiration or who
moved you toward that direction? Is this
style of expression typical for you, or a
new experience in your growth as an art-
ist?
Rafael: Art labels are a
futile attempt to catalog and
explain the unexplainable.
I do not subscribe to any movement.
We all are one of a kind and respond
to life influences differently. The artist
function is not to look for answers but
to open new avenues for questioning.

ing Higa during her Westmont inter-
view in 1992. I was initially struck
by Janes warmth and hospitality, as
she welcomed me into her office and
into our community with a wide, gra-
cious smile that still seems to accom-
pany her wherever she goes, Docter
says. As we chatted together, I saw a
woman of vision and passion, of wis-
dom and humility, a woman of deep
and abiding faith. Jane inspires me
with her passion for the mission of the
Christian liberal arts and Westmont
College, something she articulates
beautifully and personally. It lives in
every fiber of her being. Im inspired
by her desire to appreciate all the good
we do, yet to always strive to do bet-
ter, to be better.
Docter says she recently thought
about Jane during a sermon about
the fruit of the spirit. Jane embodies
love, joy and peace, she says. She
is kindness, goodness, faithfulness
and gentleness. Jane Higa belongs to
Christ; she lives by the spirit. She is a
blessing to all who know her, and I am
grateful for her presence at Westmont
and in our lives.
Kristin Lo, president of the
Westmont College Student Association
and former multi-cultural representa-
tive to the WCSA, has treasured her
friendship with Higa. The best part
of my education at Westmont has been
the mentorship by my professors in
the communication studies depart-
ment and the building of wonderful
relationships through the WCSA with
people like Jane Higa.
Beebe, who will begin a national
search to replace Higa in the fall,
encourages those who wish to com-
municate with Jane and her fianc,
Jim Mannoia, to please send mes-
sages to Tiffany Lobner (tlobner@
westmont.edu). The college will soon
announce an interim vice president
and dean of students.
Olympic Athletes
to Compete at
Westmont Track
A tremendous wealth of inter-
national Olympic talent will com-
pete at the Westmont track for the
Sam Adams Classic, which features
events in the decathlon and heptath-
lon, on Friday, April 5, at noon, and
Saturday, April 6, at 11 am. The event
is free and open to the public.
The competition includes Ashton
Eaton, Olympic decathlon gold
medalist; Sharon Day, who won
the Sam Adams Heptathlon last
year and represented the U.S. at the
Olympics; Gray Horn, who placed
third at the U.S. Championships last
year; Brianne Theisen, an Olympian
from Canada, who set a Westmont
stadium record in the womens 200
meters and the womens 100 meter
hurdles on March 30; and Damian
Warner, a two-time Canadian nation-
al champion in the decathlon who
finished fifth at the 2012 Summer
Games. Warner holds the Westmont
stadium record in the mens 110
meter hurdles after posting 14.15 on
March 30. Canadian heptathlete Jen
Cotton will also join the competi-
tion.
This many Olympians havent
been on campus since Bill Toomey
and company were training in Santa
Barbara in the 1960s and 70s, says
Russell Smelley, Westmont head
track and field coach. We have
enjoyed seeing Ashton and Brianne
training each day along with the
Womens Athletic Performance
Foundation athletes coached by Josh
Priester.
Priester, the meet director for this
event, has gathered a good field
with 17 decathletes, including three
Westmont athletes, Ben McCollum
16, Kyle Kemper 15 and Bradford
Ortlund 16, and 12 heptathletes,
including Westmont freshman
Kristan Holding.
With such distinguished and
accomplished athletes competing
on our outstanding track-and-field
facility, I expect to see several new
stadium records Smelley says. I
am especially interested in seeing
the sprint and hurdle events with
such excellent head-to-head compe-
tition.
The event honors Sam Adams, a
legendary multi-event coach who
worked with athletes at UC Santa
Barbara for 34 years and 10 years
with Smelley at Westmont.
A Dozen Art Students
Exhibit in 12 Speed
Twelve graduating art majors
have created a visual capstone to
their Westmont education and will
exhibit work April 4 - May 4 at the
Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of
Art. A free, public opening recep-
tion for 12 Speed will include the
artists Thursday, April 4, from 4-6
pm.
Susan Savage, Westmont profes-
sor of art, says the students have
plenty of room in the museum com-
pared to last years exhibition that
featured 23 graduating art majors,
the second most ever at Westmont.
This year the students have the
luxury of working bigger, and most
of them have taken advantage of
that opportunity, she says.
The students have worked with
several different mediums, includ-
ing etching, digital photography,
drawing, painting, mixed media,
digital painting, assemblage and
sculptural installation. The art-
ists are: Paige Boies, Benjamin
Bisson, Tim Cederwall, Andrew
Loy, Avary Mitchell, Amelia Neal,
Alisha Paulsen, Bekah Rogers,
Talia Sheets, Kalie Stier, Ari Stork
and Samantha Watts.
Savage says many of the stu-
dents planned ahead and worked to
develop their initial concepts, while
others welcomed the spontaneity of
tackling current life challenges to
bring their personal stories forward.
All these seniors worked with edu-
cational synthesis in mind, she
says. From themes involving social
and cultural content to those devel-
oped through deep personal con-
viction, all the works represented
testify to each persons walk and
place in life.
One of the joys of this exhibit is
the revelation that each students
uniqueness is tangibly demonstrat-
ed through the relationship of form
and media. As a true test in compre-
hending the realities and responsi-
bilities of self-direction, this exhibit
offers everyone a glimpse of the
complex inner dialogue that mani-
fests itself within the artist, and
ultimately comes out as art. MJ

Celebrating People
by Hattie Beresford
The Lady Behind Living Local:
Gail Kvistad
I
first met the lady behind Living
Local, the Cox TV show featur-
ing local businesses and orga-
nizations that are a mainstay of
our unique and lively community,
when I was a young teacher and she
was my student at La Colina Junior
High School, too many years ago
now to count. Through the mists of
time I recall a vibrant, hardwork-
ing and brilliant child who always
smiled and approached learning
with great enthusiasm and creativ-
ity. Throughout her local education
she was involved in everything! From
volleyball to swimming to drill team
and from student government to
Junior Achievement, Gail Schmitt
(now Kvistad) was a prominent and
spirited participant.
I next met Gail when she was wait-
ressing at Jack Sears Caf del Sol at
the Bird Refuge, where my husband
and I dined at least once a week
while we were still teaching. (Some
days we just needed someone to
take care of us, and Jacks was, and
still is, just the place for that.) Gail
and I share that experience as well
because I worked my way through
the credential program at UCSB as
a cocktail waitress at Hobie Bakers,
Jacks former place in Goleta.
Gail had attended Santa Barbara
City College where she cohosted the
local TV show Around the Town
with Ken Boxer. She later gradu-
ated from UCSB, and, restless for
adventure, headed for foreign parts.
She studied Spanish in Cuernavaca,
Mexico, and lived in Rio de Janeiro
for a time. Later, as a representative
for a cutting edge (at the time) tooth
whitening company, she traveled to
most major cities in the U.S.
After her brief interlude at Caf del
Sol, wanderlust set in again and she
signed up to teach English in Japan,
where for a year and a half she
had many adventures before being
advised to leave the country. The
West Coast wasnt far enough away
so she settled in Savannah, Georgia,
to work for Scuba Diving Magazine.
During that time she crossed paths
with the Santa Barbara-based Islands
Magazine where she had interned as
a college student, accepted a posi-
tion with them, and returned home.
Then Islands Magazine morphed
into a media company producing
travel and hotel videos, commercials
and websites and she was on the
path leading to Living Local. She
spent time as the Scoop reporter
for a travel show based in Miami,
Florida, for which Regis Philbin
was spokesperson.
Love and romance saw her mov-
ing back to Santa Barbara where she
freelanced as a segment producer for
the National Geographic Today show
and moved into the documentary
film world with Matchmakers. On
that project she met Paul Mathieu of
West Beach Films and soon, met up
with me, now retired from teaching
and writing a local history column.
Gail had a brilliant idea (Gail always
has brilliant ideas); she wanted to
produce a local history show and
offered me the position of historian.
I thought about it and said, What
the heck, why not. Off we set for
walks and talks on various histori-
cal topics and venues including the
former Potter Hotel site, the ruins
of the Miramar, and a hike up to
the Hot Springs while Paul walked
backwards, directed, and filmed us.
Always dressed in a vibrantly appro-
priate costume, Gail sashayed her
way through the past and brought
it to life.
Its tough to get people to pay
for history (thank-you MJ for being
the exception), and the show never
obtained a sponsor. Gail moved on to
other things. Eventually, she teamed
up with COX Media to host and
produce Living Local, a half-hour
show airing daily that is an eclectic
look at the varied products and ser-
vices available in Santa Barbara. Gail
always dresses for the part wear-
ing, for instance, a Hawaiian print
sheath for an episode featuring a
flip flop store and a mechanics shirt
for a feature explaining the work of
an auto repair business. (Her smile
in the latter episode, which opens
with her driving a convertible Mini
Cooper into the shop, is positively
beaming!)
Although Living Local certainly
keeps Gail busy, she is still into
everything!
I am passionate about nature
and the environment, she says.
She finds time to promote the mes-
sage of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
to schools and universities and par-
ticipates in various projects, such
as the ongoing clean-up of the Sian
Kaan Biosphere, a UNESCO marine
site in the Yucatan. With Tom Piozet
of Home Planet Productions, she is
collaborating on a film project that
focuses on NOAA and its UAS drone
program to find and monitor marine
species and debris from the Japanese
tsunami.
One of these environmental proj-
ects is her participation in the upcom-
ing screening of Mission of Mermaids,
a Susan Rockefeller film, on Friday,
May 17 at Home Planet Productions
Studios, which will air from 5:30 pm
to 7:30 pm at the Balboa building,
735 State Street, Suite 103, SB CA
93101. For more information about
this or any of her projects, contact:
gailkvistad@gmail.com MJ
Ms Beresford is a retired
English and American his-
tory teacher of 30 years in
the Santa Barbara School
District. She is author of
two Noticias, El Mirasol:
From Swan to Albatross
and Santa Barbara
Grocers, for the Santa
Barbara Historical Society.

Seniors Have Talent
at Marjorie Luke Theatre

munity representative for
Senior Helpers, providers
of care and comfort at a
moments notice. She is

Helpers online video

M
ove over Kelly Clarkson,
theres a new show in town.
Shes not even eligible to
audition for another 20 years. Seniors
Have Talent will take place at 2 pm
on April 6 at the Marjorie Luke Theatre
and is a benefit for the Center for
Successful Aging. The director of the
show is none other than Rod Lathim,
who served as the project manager
and development director for the cre-
ation of the Marjorie Luke Theatre.
I recently spoke to Lathim about the
upcoming show and he stressed its
great diversity. The entertainers range
in age from 50-90 and there are 18 acts
that include music, dancing, and com-
edy. The music runs the gamut from
fun, upbeat contemporary pieces, to
classical works. A ninety-year-old pia-
nist, Florence Katz, will play a Chopin
piece. Another musician will be play-
ing boogie-woogie piano, and there
are two accordionists one of whom
is also a clown. The dancing is just
as varied. There are hula dancers and
The Silver Follies, a group of talented
senior women, will perform two num-
bers. The audience will definitely not
be bored and are sure to be impressed
by the talent. Only half of the people
who auditioned were chosen to be in
the show. Rod said that they could
definitely put on another show in the
near future and bring in a whole new
group of talented seniors.
The show will undoubtedly make
many people reassess their attitude
about seniors and aging. Rod is no
stranger to utilizing the arts to affect
social change and is a pioneer of the
accessible theatre. He founded Access
Theatre in 1979, and developed the
company from a grass-roots commu-
nity theatre, to a professional, award-
winning, international touring com-
pany. For 18 years, Access Theatre
was a national model of accessibility.
The company trained and employed
artists who were disabled, able-bod-
ied, blind, sighted, deaf and hearing,
and staged primarily original works.
Lathim directed and in many cases
co-wrote many of the companys 20
productions. Access Theatre set the
standard for, and was considered the
model of, a fully accessible theatre. To
this day, the companys accomplish-
ments are sighted as landmark and
pioneering.
The producer of the show is Judi
Weisbart. She remembers when
Bobbi Kroot, the board president
of the Center for Successful Aging,
approached her with the idea to put
on a senior talent show. They decided
that the event clearly embodies the
mission of the Center for Successful
Aging and negates outdated stereo-
types of senior citizens. The event is a
fundraiser for CSA and proceeds will
support its activities. Judi wanted to
give special thanks to La Shon Kelley,
a CSA board member who, along with
many other volunteers, has worked
tirelessly to make the show a success,
and ultimately to make things better
for seniors. The primary CSA service
is senior peer counseling, where CSA-
trained individuals conduct one-on-
one and group counseling for people
over the age of 50. What is distinctive
about this counseling service is that
the client and counselor are roughly
the same age. This means they usually
share many similar experiences, which
enhance the counseling process.
Tickets for the show will be avail-
able at the door. The Marjorie Luke
Theatre is located at Santa Barbara
Junior High School at 721 East Cota
Street. General admission tickets are
$20 and $10 for children. There will
be a raffle before the show and during
intermission.

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