by James Buckley

Oh, What A Night!

Nina Terzian (center) joined Michael McDonald and his wife, Amy Holland, at their table before the concert at the Fuladis’ spacious home

Y

ou would have wanted to be a friend of Bob or Nissy Fuladi sometime around St. Patrick’s Day, as they hosted what will go down as one of the year’s or maybe even the decade’s best and most memorable concerts. The musical extravaganza at the Fuladis’ home in Birnam Wood featured former Doobie Brother Michael McDonald, Alan Parsons, perhaps most noted for his engineering work on Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon album but a singularly successful singer-musician in his own right, and renowned cellist Michael Fitzgerald, along with backing by Santa Barbara favorite Randy Tico, and percussionist Pete Korpela. CADA board member Bob Fuladi co-hosted with Bob Bryant and Peter Hilf.

Michael McDonald lived in Montecito more than 30 years ago before moving to Santa Ynez Valley.

He and his wife, Amy Holland, and their two children, Dylan and Scarlett, then spent nearly 15 years in Tennessee, near Nashville. Michael and Amy moved back to Santa Barbara about five years ago.

“We missed Santa Barbara,” McDonald admits as he takes a 15-minute break to chat before the concert, where some 150 eager CADA (Council on Alcohol and Drug Addiction) supporters were waiting.

Former Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers guitarist Jeff Baxter “is the reason I got with the Doobie Brothers,” McDonald says, when asked about the man in the “Pentagon” T-shirt sitting nearby. Long-time rock ‘n’ roller Baxter’s latest gig is as a defense consultant for the U.S. military, hence the T-shirt. Jeff and Michael had worked together in Steely Dan, and when The Doobie Brothers needed to replace a band member who’d gotten ill while on tour, Baxter recommended McDonald fill the slot. Michael flew 30 March – 6 April 2017

to New Orleans and ended up touring with the Doobie Brothers for two years before becoming a permanent member (circa 1975). “He [Baxter] did me a huge favor,” says the gravelly voiced superstar.

All three – McDonald, Parsons, and Fitzgerald – donated their time and talent for this event, a fundraiser dedicated to raising enough money to underwrite CADA’s upcoming big fundraiser, the 31st Annual Amethyst Ball, scheduled for April 22 at Bacara Resort & Spa, starring the live L.A. band Walk Like a Man, featuring the music of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Monies raised at the Amethyst Ball go to the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse’s prevention, education, and treatment programs.

McDonald says he went through what now seems almost a rock ‘n’ roll and/or Hollywood stardom ritual: alcohol and drug abuse.

He has been sober for the past 30 years. “By the grace of God,” he says humbly, admitting that sobriety changed his life for the better. “But it’s still one day at a time.” As for how it all came about, he says “It was many years of terrifying events... to put it simply, I kept trying to convince myself that I could drink. And, for me – I can only speak for myself – I couldn’t. I just kept lowering the bar until I couldn’t get under it anymore.

I just got sick and tired of getting sick and tired.

“There is no magic bullet out there,” he says. “Addiction is epidemic in this country. The reason I’m here for CADA tonight is that we need this organization for the epidemic we’re facing. We don’t want addiction to slip back into the shadows, where it has lived for hundreds of years and

Presenting the world’s finest classical artists since 1919

by Richard Mineards

Richard covered the Royal Family for Britain’s Daily Mirror and Daily Mail, and was an editor on New York Magazine. He was also a national anchor on CBS, a commentator on ABC Network News, host on E! TV, a correspondent on the syndicated show Extra, and a commentator on the KTLA Morning News.

He moved to Montecito ten years ago.

Costner’s Cove

O

scar winner Kevin Costner has put his 10-acre beachfront property in Carpinteria on the market for $60 million.

The impressive estate lies on a bluff off Padaro Lane with 360-degree panoramic views of the Pacific and the Santa Barbara mountains.

Costner, who starred in Field of Dreams and Dances With Wolves, had, I’m told, planned to build a house on the estate – which I last visited a couple of years ago when he lent it to the Santa Barbara charity, The Dream Foundation, for its Flower Empower lunch – but scrapped his plans.

The 62-year-old actor and his wife, Christine, have another oceanside property just a tiara’s toss or two down the road near George Lucas and Conan O’Brien.

Enchanted After All

I

am writing to respond to the letter written by Lidia Zinchenko (“Getting Weird Out There,” MJ #23/11) critical of the Enchanted Evening Dance (Father-Daughter Dance) at the school that took place on March 3 from 6 to 8 pm in the MUS auditorium. I have been one of the two organizers (Bryan De Ponce) for the Enchanted Evening Dance over the past four years. I am also the father of three children at MUS, 11- and 9-yearold daughters and a 6-year-old boy. I have reviewed this letter with some friends and neighbors and this letter represents the views of the additional signers below.

The insinuation that the Enchanted Evening Dance was anything but a celebration and a safe zone of pure fun for the girls and their fathers is simply outrageous. There are chaperones, there is dancing, there is a photo booth, all in the main auditorium of the school. There are also moms on hand, helping out to make the dance a beautiful event for all.

From start to finish, the evening is something my daughters look forward to all year. From the humorous asking of my daughters to the dance, to the corsage placement, to the dinner before when groups of dads can be seen dining in local restaurants with their daughters. At the event, the girls have a completely unthreatening environment to dance and hula-hoop and limbo, unencumbered by any pressure of boys being around to affect their behavior. They are surrounded by supportive and loving dads (grandfathers, uncles, step-dads, and some mothers also come with their daughters) that will love them no matter how they dance, how long they last in the hula hoop and the limbo. It is an evening for fathers and daughters to celebrate their loving relationship, and it is beautiful thing.

To vilify this is, well, just crazy.

The mother of triplets does make a good point about supporting a Mother-Son event. For the same reasons I outlined above in support of the Father-Daughter event, a MotherSon event sounds like a fantastic idea!

Let’s hope that next year our sons get to enjoy a special event with their moms.

MONTECITO JOURNAL

Out of State, Out of Mind

California Democrats are determined to change the California we know and love. Exorbitant taxes and excessive regulations are driving out businesses and the middle class. The latest salvo is the Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) legislation. You see, the local communities, even with our experience and intelligence and appreciation of our specific needs, lack the omniscience of the elites based in Sacramento.

Inexorably, the command and control from central planning Democrats is obliterating individual choice and freedom. Reasonable building restrictions in semi-rural communities and careful review of proposed development?

Forget about it.

The arrogance of the Democrat legislature and governor is breathtaking.

Joseph Mackey Montecito (Editor’s note: We appreciate your thoughts as to what one-party rule is doing to chase middle-class voters and businesses out of the state, but we believe this ADU legislation is actually a good thing. We’d love to hear in more detail why you or anyone else thinks it is not.

– J.B.)

ObamaCare Lives on

I believe in conservative values.

However, I readily acknowledge that House Republicans deserve severe criticism for their inability to agree on a GOP health care plan to replace President Obama’s Affordable Care Act. Having been highly critical (rightly so in my opinion) of the ACA for six years and, as of January 20, knowing they had control of the presidency, Senate, and House, there was ample time to produce a consensus GOP plan.

There is no reasonable excuse for the failure to do so.

So, ObamaCare survives for another day. With its increasing premiums, high deductibles, fines for not having insurance, fewer options as major insurers withdraw, and more doctors refusing to accept Medicaid patients, ObamaCare is in the process of imploding. Even those for whom most costs are covered by subsidies are finding nowhere to go except emergency rooms.

Ironically, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi calls the GOP failure “a victory for the American people,” a description that defies logical explana-

tion. I doubt President Obama is happy that GOP House members embarrassed themselves. He is intelligent enough to know that his now-still-existing signature health care plan is doomed for failure. He, along with Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Democrats continue to “own it.” They created it. The GOP fiasco simply means they will have to witness their creation crumble before their eyes.

We can hope both major political parties will learn from this ridiculous situation and finally exercise some common sense. We need a few responsible Democrats and Republicans who can put aside party bickering to come together with medical professionals to generate sensible health care laws for our citizens. We, as individuals, learn from our mistakes and failures. Let’s insist those we elect to positions of power can do the same.

Welcome to the Neighborhood

As newcomers to Southern California, and to Montecito specifically, my wife and I are finding our adjustment to this community at large a delight of positive discovery, but occasionally challenging as well. What is so often proudly referred to as America’s Riviera contrasts rather sharply from the place – a small village neighboring a large city in the Midwest – we called home for three decades.

Our move is complying with the primary factor in our decision to relocate to a place for the remaining years of our lives by locating closer to our children. Three of them were California

residents when we began the transition a few years ago. Happily, many of the other key factors on our relocation checklist are also well-represented here. These include access to quality health care and to all manner of the fine arts.

Of course, the “Sunny California” weather was another factor in our relocation decision. However, our appreciation of this area’s climate is conditioned by its prolonged drought. The perennially promised El Niños that that kept failing to come “next fall” had us coping with water rationing (until, of course, our recent deluge of winds and rains had us purchasing rain gear suitable for Captain Ahab’s Pequod).

But the troubled water supply situation allowed us to make judgments about the quality of governance by community, county, and state officials. I relied on your publication’s regular coverage of this situation to keep informed of official response and actions to remedy the challenge of permanently securing an adequate water supply.

Also, our dependence on 101 for auto trips to L.A. and local shopping centers made us aware of the need to add to the highway’s bottlenecked lanes in the Montecito-to-Carpinteria corridor. This situation, which your publication closely covers, also demonstrated how elected officials – and the community at large— were responding to the problem.

A Traffic Situation I personally had a more involved experience with the local governing bureaucracy. It dealt with my determined attempt to remedy very haz-

“Cottage’s iMRI technology offered me a different path to treat my brain tumor.”

Shortly after her procedure, Corby was back to hiking her favorite trail.

Corby Santa Maria

ontecito history guru Trish Davis is on a mission to save historic Moody Sister cottage and is asking the Montecito community for help. The cottage, located at 170 Middle Road, is designated as a Santa Barbara County Historic Landmark, and the new owner of the property on which it sits has plans to build a new home on the property. “Even though he tried to incorporate the cottage into building plans, it’s just not feasible for the cottage to stay on the property,” Davis told us.

In the 1930s and ‘40s, the enterprising Moody Sisters – Harriet, Mildred, Brenda, and Wilma – decided that the priority of the time was to provide housing for returning veterans, doctors, nurses, and single women.

The four sisters (Brenda and Wilma primarily dealt with the real estate

and banking side of the transactions) were a development force in our area, designing and decorating about three-dozen “pixie like” homes in Santa Barbara and Montecito. Harriet Moody began her architectural career working with her father, a local builder. After the 1925 earthquake, she formed a business partnership with George Morrison, a City engineer, and they built many neighborhoods in Goleta and Isla Vista.

Harriet’s designs started sprouting up in the 1930s in Montecito: she built her sister Mildred an art studio on Coast Village Road (currently home to Coastal Properties), followed by six of her unique cottages on Periwinkle Lane, and then a handful of others on Rosemary Lane. Mildred contributed

When doctors diagnosed Corby with a brain tumor they believed was difficult to treat, they recommended an intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging procedure (iMRI). The Santa Barbara Neuroscience Institute at Cottage is one of just a handful of hospitals in the nation who offer this specialized medicine. Our advanced imaging system provides neurosurgeons with the clearest images during brain surgery, helping them remove the most difficult to treat tumors. iMRI technology provides some patients with a different path and helps reduce the likelihood of an additional procedure.

For 125 years, we’ve been advancing medicine. Learn more at cottagehealth.org/imri

The cottage is a Santa Barbara County Historic Landmark, and as such, alterations to its exterior are subject to review by the Historic Landmarks Commission. The interior of the cottage can be remodeled, according to Trish Davis, who is helping to find a new home for the structure. (photo credit David Palermo)

a La Land may have been a hot ticket at the Oscars, but we had our very own La La Land when the Coral Casino was transformed to a glittering, glitzy sequin-studded showplace for the Pacific Pride Foundation’s (PPF) Royal Ball. Event planners Merryl Brown and Percy Sales did their magic. Abbey DJ Derek Monteiro kept the crowd moving with non-stop rhythmic soundscape along with wild light projections in all the spaces.

There were royal boxes for 10, sort of like your own private living room and only a few tables for singles. The tablecloths were all silver sequins set off with clear Lucite chairs and lots of orchids and candles.

The signature cocktail was titled Hot Nasty Woman, a concoction of jalapenos, vodka, lime, agave nectar, and Veev Acai liqueur. I drank sparkling wine instead. Regal costuming was encouraged. I don’t know if it was regal, but it was crazy with a photo op every time you turned around. The rest of the 400 guests were in long gowns and tuxes.

destroyed millions of lives.”

McDonald says he didn’t go “cold turkey” by himself, admitting that it was a judge that demanded he either get help or go to jail. He says he had received “a couple of DUIs” and done “a million different things. [The court] was a great motivator for me, when going to jail didn’t seem such an odd thing anymore. I was in rock ‘n’ roll hell, drug dealer hell, so when the courts finally gave me the nudge and I realized that if I did drink again I’d probably break out into handcuffs, it was probably time to do something about it.

“I didn’t know what gratitude was,” he says, “and when I stayed sober long enough I realized I was grate-

ful for things I never even thought were important, like having children (daughter Scarlett and son Dylan), having my kid (29-year-old Dylan lives in Nashville; his band is the Avians) tell me he loves me. He makes a point of telling me that every time he says goodbye to me. Those are the things that are huge in my life today. I thought I was grown up until I had a child.”

Michael and his wife, Amy, have been together for 36 years. “We did a lot of drinking together,” Michael says.

He calls CADA a “front-line organization” against the war on drugs and is serious about helping combat the disease but allows himself to find a little humor under the circumstance. “I play music, so I still prefer my audiences be When a loved one is struggling with memory decline and can no longer safely reside at home, turn to a caring and trusted resource…Villa Alamar.

Alan Parsons (Live) Project saxophonist Todd Cooper turns up the melodic heat during CADA fundraiser where more than $83,000 was raised to underwrite upcoming Amethyst Ball at the Bacara

a little drunk,” he quips as he begins to get ready for the concert.

CADA is one of the oldest non-profit organizations in Santa Barbara (58 years) and runs more than 23 programs for adults, including a residential de-tox program (the only one in the city of Santa Barbara).

CADA has school-based counselors in all the schools in Santa Barbara, and the Daniel Bryant Adolescent Treatment Center is the only such center between San Francisco and Los Angeles, serving both children and their families. This year, they’ll serve about 350 adolescents and their families and have, since inception in 2001, served almost 6,000 teenagers and their parents.

Before the music, Catherine Remak noted that “As long as Michael McDonald and Alan Parsons have been friends – and they share collectively a hundred years in this business,” to a shocked acknowledgment from the crowd – “they have never shared the stage together.” Catherine then noted that Michael Fitzpatrick would be on his way to play for the pope in Rome “right after this concert” and that none of them had ever played music together until this night.

McDonald kicked things off with a

• The Voice of the Village •

Former Steely Dan and Doobie Brothers band member Jeff Baxter can’t resist joining former bandmate Michael McDonald, along with Alan Parsons and Michael Fitzgerald in song at the CADA pre-event

rendition of “Peace,” which was written originally as a Christmas song.

Alan Parsons led a tuneful version of “Eye in the Sky” and Fitzpatrick played a song never played live before, which is a good thing because Mr. Fitzpatrick plays the cello as if he’s making love to it. And in a way he was, because it became difficult to separate the instrument from the musician. At one point, Parsons took the mic to exclaim that he never thought he’d hear Michael McDonald singing one of his songs, after McDonald finished singing “Time.” Songs such as “Alleluia, “All Our Yesterdays Are Gone Today,” and others followed. The group closed with a short version of “Amazing Grace” before rocking out with “Takin’ It to the Streets.”

After the music came the money-raising, and in short order Santa Barbara County undersheriff Barney Melekian helped raise more than $83,000 – finding $500 here for postage, $3,000 there for linens, $4,000 for floral, $5,000 for the band – enough to completely underwrite the upcoming Amethyst Ball.

Dress for the April 22 event at the Bacara is either black-tie or Rat-Packera garb. Tickets range from $300 for a single up to $25,000 for a Crown Jewel front-and-center table for 12, complete with a private server, VIP 30 March – 6 April 2017

Tea for 14 (or so)

First of all, if you are even thinking about holding a tea tasting, you should speak to Condor Express owner Hiroko Benko first. Not that

she knows a whole lot about tea (though she is an avid tea drinker and knows what she likes), but her brother, Kikuo Fukui, a high school teacher who flew in from Osaka, Japan, to visit his sister, and tea master Thomas Craveiro do know a whole lot about various liquid elixirs made from plants, and that’s where Hiroko comes in.

Mr. Craveiro’s devotion to all things Japanese is admirable and he led his

demonstration admirably, meticulously preparing the powder made from dried hand-picked, bright-green leaves of the matcha bush, direct from Japan. Thomas explained that the two ends of the prep table (what looks like a small writing desk) are made of wood and were originally boxes in which Samurai helmets were stored.

The pestle, the bowls, the cups, the wooden ladle and stand, the cast iron pot, and other accouterments of the fine art of tea making all had similar and sometime ancient provenance.

The location was ideal as hidden among flowering shrubs, palm fronds, and a magical koi pond cradled by the soothing sound of a nearby trickling waterfall, we 14 participants listened intently as Thomas explained what he was doing and, perhaps even more importantly, why. While drinking a cupp’a isn’t usually a solemn affair, Mr. Craveiro did delve into the mystique and precise preparation of individual cups of tea with quasi-religious undertones.

The occasion was Hiroko’s brother’s visit and a desire to put something together for him and Hiroko’s noted friend, UCSB professor Shuji Nakamura, recipient of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics (along with fellow countrymen Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano) for the invention of efficient blue light-emitting diodes

(LEDs).

Tea master Thomas Craveiro is a native Californian and first discovered the way of tea (chado) at the tea house in the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, where regular lessons are taught by an experienced tea instructor.

Tab Hunter buoys spirits of San Marcos High students

Telecom tycoon and car collector Craig McCaw, 67, is ranked at 1,161 with $1.79 billion.

Forbes lists 2,043 billionaires – 56 of whom are under 40 – up from 1,810 in 2016. whose total net worth rose by 18 percent to $7.67 trillion, also a record.

The U.S. has the most with a record 565, up from 540 last year, followed

by China with 319, Germany with 114, and India with 101.

Keeping Tab’s Veteran Montecito actor and former Hollywood heartthrob Tab Hunter delighted students at San Marcos High School when he turned up for rehearsals of their new play Damn Yankees, the 1958 movie in which he starred, made from the Tony Awardwinning play of the same name.

The introduction was made by Maria, the daughter of his good friends Joe and Fran Bushkin, owners of a Hope Ranch estate where Tab, a keen equestrian, kept his horses in the ‘70s, whose son is in the school production, which starts on May 4.

Tab shared stories and anecdotes about his life as a screen and stage star, while the students performed a number from the production for him.

“I was very impressed with the talent of the kids,” says Tab. All That Jazz Prolific writer Josef Woodard has just published his second jazz book Conversations With Charlie Haden, fast on the heels of his debut tome, Charles Lloyd: A Wild Blatant Truth.

Both books are based on at least 20 years of multiple interviews with both jazz legends, managed through Joe’s long history as a journalist writing for jazz magazines DownBeat, Jazz Times, Jazz Hot, and other publications, including the Los Angeles Times, the Independent, and the News-Press.

“As a result, I had a massive body of interviews with these two veteran jazz heroic Charlies,” says Joe. Another not-coincidental comparison point is the fact that both artists, saxophonist Lloyd and premier, late

great jazz bassist Haden, who died three years ago, are among a handful of internationally recognized jazz greats daring to have lived in southern California versus the jazz mecca of New York City.

The Lloyd book took Joe seven years to complete, given the massive amount of editing and writing, while his newest project took just seven months, given it was done based on interviews he did with Haden between 1987 and 2008.

“I was lucky to have interacted with Charlie Haden for decades, all over the world, and the book project was a wonderful way to celebrate our relationship,” adds Joe, who received an ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for jazz writing in 1998.

Rocks, Camels, and RVs – Oh, My!

“C

an I help you?” the guy asked.

“I’m looking for a mountain with a waterfall,” I said.

“May want to try somewhere besides the desert.”

I held my hands out. “I just want one about this big.”

Another drugged-out Southern Californian, he was most likely thinking.

“He wants a rock that looks like a mountain with a crevice that looks like a waterfall,” my wife said. “To go on his bonsai shelf.”

“Ohhh, right,” he said. Glad that one of us was somewhat sane. He swung his arm is a grandiose manner.

“Got just what you are looking for… out there somewhere.”

We stared at the dozens and dozens of makeshift displays sitting on empty 55-gallon drums, holding thousands of rocks in a myriad of colors.

“Have fun,” Pat said. “I’m going to check out the geodes next door.”

We were in Quartzsite, Arizona, which straddles Route 10 right near the intersection of Route 95, one of the strangest places we have ever stayed. We got the last room on the “quiet side” of a Super 8, where you could barely hear the constant stream of 18-wheelers bringing stuff from the East to the West and the West to the East at 75 miles per hour, day and night.

Our original plan was to drive from Sierra Vista, near the Mexican border, to Phoenix, where we were going to spend the night. But Phoenix was…

“All full, sorry.”

Pat dialed another hotel.

“All full, sorry.”

She tried several more times with the same result.

“All of Phoenix is full? How can that be?” I asked.

“They said it was because of spring training. So, I asked that last guy what they were training for. He said it was baseball.”

“Oh, yeah! They have the Cactus

League here. Did he have any suggestions?”

“He said, try New Mexico.”

Instead, we looked on the map at the next “logical” place west of Phoenix.

One hundred and 25 miles later, we were in rock-hound heaven. And “RV heaven,” if you can use those two words together. Apparently, a million snowbirds travel to Quartzsite for the months of January and February in RVs that range from brand-new to “are you kidding me?”

Quartzsite started as a fort in 1856, when a settler named Charles Tyson needed to protect his water supply from attacks by Native Americans, who probably thought the water and the land belonged to them. Fort Tyson soon became a stopover on a stagecoach route, eventually becoming known as Tyson’s Wells. After the stage stopped running, it became a ghost town until a small mining boom revitalized the town. It became known as Quartzsite in 1897.

A far more interesting bit of Quartzsite history, though, involves Hi Jolly and the Camels (sounds like a rock group, get it “rock” group?

Quartzsite?). In 1856, Jefferson Davis, Secretary of War, later to be short-lived president of the confederacy, thought camels were the perfect vehicles for the desert (before RVs) and procured 74 of them. Their caretaker was a guy

from Syria named Haiji Ali, which the soldiers quickly pronounced Hi Jolly. The camels earned their humps but not their stripes. The government laid them off and they spent the rest of their time wandering in the desert, doing whatever camels do on their time off.

Hi Jolly, who died in 1902, ended up in the Quartzsite Cemetery, where a small pyramid was erected on his behalf, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Besides camels, 18-wheelers, RVs, roadside shops where people sell everything from gems to tie-dye to emu oil, there are also a lot of dune buggies, many of them carrying senior citizens to dried-out river beds, where they spin out and do doughnuts before heading off to Daniels Really Good Fresh Jerky Store and Deli for a nosh.

Meanwhile, back at T-Rocks emporium…

“I found it!” I yelled. I held up my seven-and-a-half-pound prize. Pat looked relieved. We still wanted to drive through Joshua Tree National Park on our way back to Santa Barbara.

“Congratulations,” the guy said as he rang up my purchase. “Please stop by again on your next visit to Quartzsite. We have new rocks… er, mountains… arriving all the time.”

I’m thinking now that we need to buy an RV. •MJ

Spirituality Matters

by Steven Libowitz “Spirituality Matters” highlights two or three Santa Barbara area spiritual gatherings. Unusual themes and events with that something extra, especially newer ones looking for a boost in attendance, receive special attention. For consideration for inclusion in this column, email slibowitz@yahoo.com.

Kirtan Continues to Charm

M

antra Lounge Kirtan Santa Barbara’s “Evening of Kirtan” at Unity back in January, the first of the monthly gatherings since leaving its previous location at the Montecito Library, went off without a hitch despite the heavy rainstorm that began just before starting time. More than 40 brave souls showed up despite having to traverse some mighty puddles during the deluge – the first such storms that have re-filled our reservoirs this year – and were rewarded with beautiful, mystical music from the harmonium, table, and bass players.

It’s an inviting environment at the brick-and-stained-glass lined chapel at Unity, where some assembled singers sat on chairs, others on blankets on the floor, to join in the call-and-response chants. I only had time for a little more than a half-hour visit, which encompassed just two of the seductive and meditative chants, which was still enough to experience what the Mantra Lounge correctly calls “a higher connection – even if you are not conscious-

ly feeling it – alive, progressive, and rich with the fine nuances of an unfolding relationship.”

Regrettably, I also missed the vegetarian “eats”, which in the past have been quite tasty and nourishing. But Mantra Lounge’s next opportunity for unfolding relationship takes place this Saturday night, April 1, back at Unity, 227 E. Arrellage St., when the weather is expected to be warm and breezy. The $10 donation includes the veggie fare.

Visit the Meetup site (www.meetup. com/Santa-Barbara-Mantra-LoungeKirtan) or Facebook page (www.face book.com/events/1138619912930934) for details.

Spirit Driven

Spirit Driven exists in Santa Barbara both as a Meetup group – where like-minded people have been getting together since February to explore our own spiritual nature and to connect with spirit to further individual spiritual growth and find our own truth –

and as a church (Spiritualist Church of The Comforter, 1028 Garden St.), with Sunday services that include a handson Healing Service, and a Regular Service with a guided meditation, an inspirational talk, and evidential mediumship followed by a potluck lunch.

Offered are classes, workshops, discussion evenings, public events with guest presenters, films, and mediumship.

The latter is the focus this weekend, with separate events on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, March 31 to April 2. An Evening of Spiritual Readings with a Difference features the return of the reverend David Darnbrough, whose Friday evening demonstration (7 to 9 pm) will feature flower readings.

Attendance is limited to 20 people so that each can get a reading. Requested donation is $30. Saturday’s “Expand Your Mediumship Capabilities – You Are Capable of So Much More”, from 1 to 5 pm, is a workshop for intermediate and advanced levels, with a requested donation of $35. Reverend Darnbrough also serves as guest speaker at the Sunday service (11 am) when he will bring messages from spirit during the mediumship portion. Call the church phone, 965-4474, or visit www.chur chofthecomforter.nsac-churches.org for more information and reservations.

Mindfulness in Montecito

Radhule Weininger, Ph.D., who offers monthly half-day meditation gatherings at La Casa de Maria, leads a weekend retreat from March 31 to April 2 with the same title as her forthcoming book: Heartwork: The Path of Self-compassion. The seminar offers participants ways to discover how to emerge from a sense of unworthiness and self-blame in order to heal the relationship with oneself. Through the practices of mindful and loving awareness, self-compassion, self-forgiveness and gratitude, attendees learn how to transform habits of self-limitation into making friends with yourself. Doing so will allow you to feel grounded and strong, and more able to participate courageously and creatively in our world. The fee is $290, plus $100 if you want to stay overnight on Friday and Saturday at La Casa de Maria.

Dr. Weininger comes back to Montecito a week later on April 9 for her regular Sunday meditation retreat, during which there will be an opportunity for practicing sitting and walking meditations, as well as Metta/Lovingkindness meditation.

Weininger’s practice views mindfulness not only as bare attention but as affectionate attention, with an orientation toward kindness and seeing deeply into the nature of things, which in turns leads to an understanding of how all is interconnected. The 2:30 to 6 pm event is by donation.

• The Voice of the Village •

Weekends with Weininger

Radhule returns fewer than three weeks later for her yearly Cultivating Emotional Balance Training, with sessions set for April 29-30, and May 7, 14, and 21. The study-series on fostering emotional balance through mindful awareness and the practice of compassion for ourselves and others teachers participants to develop new patterns of emotional stability and inner happiness by addressing some of the long-standing, recurrent, painful patterns of their lives. As with the earlier retreat, some material will be drawn from Weininger’s forthcoming book Heartwork: The Path to Self-Compassion.

Both new and returning students are welcome to delve into such topics as identifying triggers and responding with a “Mindful Pause”; changing painful patterns; letting go of shame and resentment; and how to establish a sense of inter-being in a challenging world.

As in previous years, Dr. Weininger we be joined by guest-teachers including her colleague Marjorie Schuman, Ph.D., a psychologist, psychoanalyst, and dharma teacher; her husband, Michael Kearney, M.D., who practices palliative care and is an author and teacher; and her ex-husband Reuben Weininger, M.D., a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and yoga teacher. The $250 fee includes lunch on the first day. Visit www.lacasademaria.org or call 969-5031 for more details or registration.

Note: Weininger’s program “The Dance of Mindfulness and Depth Psychology”, in which she was to be paired with Juliet Rohde-Brown, Ph.D., the director of Clinical Training in the Clinical Psychology program at Pacifica Graduate Institute, for a weekend retreat slated for April 10-12 at Pacifica’s Montecito campus, has been canceled.

Hump Day Healing

April’s Wednesday Retreat Day at La Casa de Maria is “Give Yourself the Gift of Forgiveness”, which takes place at 9:30 am to 3:30 pm on April 5, and is led by Julie Bowden, an internationally recognized authority in childhood trauma and codependency.

Bowden will address our human tendency to build antipathies or grudges toward others, offering participants a blueprint for releasing them and for healing any relationship in their lives, whether past or present. Each attendee will have the opportunity to select one person to forgive, utilizing a powerful approach based on Dr. Maria Nemeth’s work. By donation. Lunch available for $14 with advance registration. Visit www.lacasademaria.org or call 969-5031 for more details or registration.

to the cottages by way of interior design and decorating.

The Middle Road cottage was originally built on Coast Village Road in 1941; it’s unclear at what point the cottage was moved to its current location. The 900-sq-ft, one-bedroom home can be moved again, in three sections, to an appropriate foundation with access to utilities. The cottage includes a garage space, a full bathroom, brick fireplace, and small kitchen. It’s estimated that the cost to move the cottage, as well as build the foundation and construct the applicable plumbing, will be $100K to $175K, according to Davis, who has received an estimate from a local contractor.

The Middle Road property has sold multiple times in the last few years, and in that time, Davis, a former Montecito Association director, has worked with each property owner to attempt relocation of the cottage.

Her ideal situation would be to have it moved to a public property such as Manning Park, for use by the community. She has reached out to the Pearl Chase Society, Casa Dorinda, Montecito Union School, La Casa de Maria, the Natural History Museum, and other places, to see if there is any suitable space for the cottage.

“My focus is to save it so the community can use it and enjoy it, and so that we don’t lose our 50th Historical

30 March – 6 April 2017

Landmark,” said Davis. She is currently in talks with the County regarding Manning Park, but if that doesn’t pan out, placing the cottage on a private property is the next best thing.

“Time is of the essence, as the current owner has been more than patient waiting to have it removed from his property,” she said. Davis is eager to hear from members of the community who may have ideas on a suitable space for the cottage. She can be reached at (805) 886-0164.

Montecito Water District News

Last week, the Montecito Water District (MWD) Board of Directors unanimously accepted a staff recommendation to suspend enforcement of penalties for excessive water consumption, effective immediately.

After declaring a Water Shortage Emergency with the adoption of Ordinance 92 in February 2014, the District enacted Ordinance 93, which was subsequently replaced by Ordinance 94, and which established water usage allocations and provided for penalties to be assessed for water used in excess of a customer’s monthly allocation. Those penalties included a premium of $30 per hundred cubic feet (HCF) over the monthly allocation, with the stipulation that if a

customer used over their allocation for two months out of any water year, the penalty would increase to $45 per HCF. Consumption that was 25% in excess of allocation would also be subject to a flow restriction device on the customer’s service lines. After allocations were introduced, the District customers responded with commendable conservation efforts, averaging 46% since 2015.

“In recognition of recent rainfall and the responsiveness we have seen during the drought, the change is warranted. However, ongoing conservation is essential, and the District will be closely monitoring customer consumption,” said MWD general manager Nick Turner.

The suspension of the portion of Ordinance 94 that outlines penalties for excessive consumption comes after approximately 30 inches of rain have fallen since October, which has bolstered local surface water supplies.

Substantial watershed run-off in Santa Barbara County partially restored Jameson Lake and Lake Cachuma, two crucial resources for the District.

Santa Barbara County’s drought status has also been downgraded, from “Exceptional” to “Moderate” between January 10 and March 7, 2017.

A preliminary analysis showing that Montecito Water District has sufficient water supplies to meet custom-

er water demand for the next three years, assuming a continued water conservation of approximately 30%.

Staff will return to the board within 60 days to determine if additional actions regarding amending, suspending, or terminating Water Shortage Emergency ordinances 92 and 94 are warranted.

“Changes in behavior and landscaping have been tremendous and need to be ongoing. We are optimistic that the community understands the necessity of permanently reducing usage,” Turner said.

Also happening at the District: discussion continues regarding negotiations on a water supply agreement between MWD and the City of Santa Barbara regarding the desal plant. The District has paid the City $193,594 for planning and participation in the first phase of negotiations, and the City has requested an additional $252,976 to continue with a second phase of negotiations. The board, which voiced clear desire for the partnership but also concern over the terms, took no action and directed staff to analyze possible alternatives.

The District has also responded to the ongoing discussion over Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), and last week submitted a letter to

Should We Hide from Big Data?

Donald Patterson, Professor of Computer Science, Westmont

5:30 p.m., Thursday, April 13, 2017 University Club, 1332 Santa Barbara Street Free and open to the public. For information, call 565-6051.

In a world increasingly under surveillance and digital control, an enormous amount of data gets collected.

This “Big Data” isn’t just a benign repository of information, however. It becomes the basis for making decisions and monitoring and assessing individuals and groups. People with agendas choose which data is worth saving, which colors the pictures they subsequently form about our world. Professor Patterson will discus several ways of thinking about surveillance and control. He’ll present ways in which people on the cutting edge of technology have responded to protest and protect their privacy and yet practically still participate in the modern world. Finally, he’ll discuss when, if ever, it’s OK to lie to the databases that are trying to form a digital portrait of you.

ardous traffic conditions facing anyone exiting my residential property onto East Village Road, a.k.a. County highway 192.

A concave mirror in place across the road from the driveway presents a view, though contracted, of oncoming northbound traffic. But because the road curves and dips, these vehicles, even those driving within the 30-mph speed limit, are briefly not visible to drivers exiting our driveway, creating a high-collision risk.

Adding to the hazard is the sharp 90-degree left turn on 192 approximately 100 meters south of our driveway. It is my opinion that drivers negotiating that turn, which has a 15-mph sign at the bend of the road, tend to resume speed beyond the highway’s original 30-mph limit.

I have undertaken extensive action to reduce the risk these hazards presented to family members, guests, and workers, first of all by obtaining legal advice about my remedial options. The consulting lawyer recommended extensive landscaping measures to clear sight lines to approaching vehicles.

He also approved of my plan to install – at 20-meter intervals – three yellow warning lights that face the oncoming northbound traffic. These were activated when the property’s gate is opened when departing vehicles reach a pressure pad in the driveway.

The lights were installed inside my property boundary. Adjacent to those lights were signs, with silhouettes of colliding vehicles, warning oncoming drivers of an out-of-sight driveway.

I also added a rectangular concave mirror to supplement the existing circular mirror mounted on a pole across from the driveway.

I furthermore planned to approach the responsible authorities with evidence of the extraordinary hazards and to request actions I hoped they could take to alleviate the danger of collision. This effort was undertaken by my realtor and former property manager.

She is very familiar with the area’s officialdom, including those overseeing such traffic matters. Determining jurisdiction for the traffic situation had her going from Caltrans to Santa Barbara County and back, with the latter finally agreeing to consider my case.

My list of remedial actions requested included the placement of official “Hidden Driveway” signs, like the one in place on Hot Springs Road, near my residence. I also hoped to convince a sheriff to be posted nearby to ticket drivers exceeding the speed limit. I was prompted to do this by a resident who said drivers frequenting that route would get the word of the ticketing and drive within regulation speed at the site.

My spokesperson embarked on this endeavor with a memo I had prepared, with photos, to describe the hazards,

• The Voice of the Village •

plus a brief video featuring a demonstration car driving at the 30-mph limit approach to the driveway. The video’s time-track shows that a northbound vehicle moving at the legal speed limit arrives as a potential collision point in front of the driveway just 10 seconds after appearing in the concave mirrors.

The County Responds But more of a problem is caused by the road’s dip approximately 82 meters from the driveway. This results in cars moving at the speed limit to arrive at the potential collision spot in just five seconds after coming back into view in the mirrors.

But the County declined to accept the video and other documentation of the traffic hazards. It claimed that only input about traffic conditions from an independent traffic engineer would be accepted for official consideration. The cost for his services would be about $15,000, a price I was unwilling to pay.

(Readers of this letter can view the video the County declined to consider by going to YouTube and searching for “Traffic Hazards at Hwy 192”.)

As the months went on, I took limited comfort in knowing that my warning lights and signs would alleviate the danger.

However, some months later, to my dismay, action was taken. Based on a complaint from an un-named neighbor, the County, claiming my lights and signs were in violation of some obscure ordinance, ordered me to remove them.

This was especially disappointing, because I imagined that my devices warning of hazardous traffic conditions may have benefitted some of my nearby neighbors also lined along East Valley Road.

In play with this set-back is the prevalence of walled-in, single-family residences in Montecito. It is another aspect of our adjustment to our new home surroundings. Back in the Midwest, we had across the fence or shrub line neighbors. I have had the only “over-the wall” contact one day with my next-door/gate neighbor when my very early-morning firewood chopping exercise awoke her. I appreciate that she was very forgiving of my thoughtless act with an axe.

The unknown neighbor’s complaint called the County’s attention to my installment of the warning devices, which previously had been in place and active but officially unnoticed for many months.

I wish the neighbor had approached me personally about what was problematic with the warning devices. We might have been able to devise a solution without recourse of a complaint to the County.

That probability went untested.

So now I remain in constant dread

CITY OF SANTA BARBARA Planning Commission Hearing Regarding the New Zoning Ordinance

The Happiness of Pursuit

A

ccording to Clifton Fadiman’s Book of Anecdotes, the wife of a French President, lunching with English friends at the time of her husband’s retirement, was asked what she was most looking forward to in the years ahead. Without hesitation, she replied: “A penis.” There was an embarrassed silence – until her husband murmured, “My dear, I think the English don’t pronounce the word quite like that. It’s ‘appiness.’”

There have indeed been different ways of conceiving the essence of what we call “happiness.” For example: when Beethoven wrote his 9th symphony in 1824, he included a “Hymn to Joy” based on an “Ode” written some 40 years earlier by Friedrich Schiller (who had died in 1805). The original poem praises wine, friendship, and religious faith, among other things. And it also contained one line, loosely translated as “All men shall be brothers,” which has thrilled succeeding generations to the extent that even today Beethoven’s Hymn is officially recognized as the anthem of the European Union.

However, in the interests of full disclosure, I must tell you that Schiller’s original version was somewhat different. Instead of all men being brothers, he had written that “beggars shall be princes’ brothers.” But that was 1785, before the French Revolution.

By 1803, when he came to revise the poem, princes, and royalty in general, had become somewhat unsavory, and Napoleon Bonaparte was in the process of ravaging Europe. So the beggars and princes became “all men.” And it was that version which inspired Beethoven.

Nevertheless, considering how important most people consider happiness (of course, it figures prominently in our own Declaration of Independence – not as a right, but as a goal to be rightfully pursued), there has been comparatively little written about it in any kind of creative literature. Poets in general prefer to bewail their lives rather than celebrate them.

In fact, nowadays happiness seems to have come more under the scrutiny of scientists than of writers and artists.

It was only in 1974 that investigators discovered some wonderful substances produced by our own bodies which are capable of diminishing pain and heightening feelings of well-being. They called this magic stuff 30 March – 6 April 2017

“ENDORPHINS” – a portmanteau word from “endogenous morphine.”

“Endogenous” means “growing or originating from within.” Morphine is a drug usually derived chemically from opium.

So how can you and I, and many of our fellow-creatures, all be guilty of producing what in most countries is still a “controlled substance” subject to severe legal restrictions and heavy penalties? Good question – but other kinds of scholarly researchers have also been looking into the mechanisms of happiness. There are extensive studies on the Psychology of Happiness, the Physiology of Happiness – even (believe it or not) the Mathematics of Happiness.

Well, what does it all come down to (or, for the mathematicians, add up to)? I can only speak for myself (and for all the rest of you). We all know that our busiest times are the best times – so long as they don’t involve being too busy, for too long. And of course the activity, whatever it is, should be one we enjoy, and ideally one which seems worthwhile. And if, at the same time, we can be making somebody else happy – well, that’s just icing on the cake.

The irony is that usually in these cases you are too occupied to realize that you are happy. My psychiatrist does not often laugh at things I say, but he was really tickled when I told him I had, on a recent day, been so busy that I forgot to take my anxiety pills.

But isn’t there more in happiness than just keeping busy? Isn’t there a spiritual element, leading to the state of bliss sought by so many religions, cults, and other groups – the condition known to Buddhists as Nirvana? Well, maybe there is – but I personally have never come closer to it than a really good slice of cherry pie, or the satisfaction of solving a difficult crossword puzzle.

But how could I write a piece about happiness without ever mentioning that object of every worthy wish and desire – the thing called love?

The answer to every question concerning the sanctity of love must begin with “Yes, but.” And there are simply too many “if’s” in “if I love you.” We all know the pursuit of love is itself a dicey business. I’m sorry, but, no matter how you slice it, you just can’t equate love with happiness.

Thursday, April 13, 2017, 1:00 p.m.

City Hall, City Council Chambers, 735 Anacapa Street The Draft New Zoning Ordinance (NZO) proposes updates and new formatting for the Zoning Ordinance, which is Title 28 of the City’s Municipal Code. The Zoning Ordinance establishes the zone classifications, permitted uses in each zone, development standards and regulations, and the development review process for the City. Development standards related to growth, such as residential density, and amount of nonresidential growth allowed remain unchanged.

The majority of the proposed changes consist of reformatting and modernizing language, and clarifying existing regulations; however, a number of changes to zone classifications, permitted uses in each zone, development standards and regulations are proposed, including, but not limited to: Zone Classification/Districts and General Plan Changes: Revising the names and classifications of most zones in Title 28 and several in Title 29 (Airport) to be more descriptive of the allowed uses. Combining three existing commercial zones (C-P, C-L and C-1) into one zone (C-R). Area A of the Veronica Meadows Specific Plan and an adjoining lot are proposed to be rezoned to P-R (Park and Recreation) with a park designation of Open Space, and the General Plan Map designation changed to Parks/Open Space.

Allowed Land Uses: Narrowing the range of allowed uses in the M-1 (Light Manufacturing) zone, allowing neighborhood markets, updating home occupation standards, allowing mobile food vendors on private property, and expanding temporary use regulations.

Development Standards: Changing standards including the number of stories in a building, building separation, setbacks, open yards, allowed encroachments into setbacks and open yard, size of accessory buildings/garages, fences and hedges, nonconforming buildings and uses, and other aspects of property use and configuration.

Parking: Standardizing nonresidential parking requirements, including food service uses, parking for change of use, parking for expansions, bike parking, and parking reduction for small residential units.

This is a continuation of Planning Commission’s March 2 and March 9 hearings. The Planning Commission Staff Report including the Draft New Zoning Ordinance, and additional information regarding this work effort, is available at www.SantaBarbaraCA.gov/NZO. Planning Commission recommendations will be forwarded to the City Council for its consideration later this year. The legislative actions required include: 1. General Plan Map Amendment to designate the Veronica Meadows Specific Plan Area A (APN 047-010-064 and 047-010-065) as Parks/Open Space from Hillside Low Density Residential (Max 2 du/ac), and to designate APN 047-061-026 as Parks/Open Space from Hillside Low Density Residential (Max 3 du/ac) and Suburban Low Density Residential (Max 3 du/ac); 2. Amendment to the Certified Local Coastal Program for all proposed changes in the Coastal Zone; and 3. Amendments to Title 28 (Zoning Ordinance & Zoning Map), Title 29 (Airport Zoning Ordinance & Airport Zoning Map), Specific Plan 9-Veronica Meadows, Title 9 (Public Peace and Safety), Title 22 (Environmental Policy and Construction), Title 27 (Subdivisions), and related Titles of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code (SBMC §28.92.020).

The Environmental Analyst has determined that the proposed amendments are implementing actions of the 2011 General Plan and within the scope of the 2011 General Plan Certified Final Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR). An Addendum to the 2011 General Plan Certified Final Program EIR provides documentation of environmental analysis of the proposed amendments under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

You are invited to attend this hearing. Written comments are welcome and should be submitted prior to the meeting at the Planning Division Office, 630 Garden Street; by mail attention PC Secretary, P.O. Box 1990, Santa Barbara, CA 93102-1990; or by email to PCSecretary@ SantaBarbaraCA.gov.

that a collision may occur resulting in damage, injury, or worse, to someone departing from our Montecito home.

C. Joseph Bendy Montecito (Editor’s note: Well, the good news is that County officials are constantly tweaking rules along Montecito’s roadways, sometimes for the better, sometimes not.

For example, when residents complained about speeding along Sheffield some years ago, County officials surveyed the area, took speed readings for a period of time and concluded that... the speed limit was too low and replaced the 30 (I believe) mph signs with bright new 35 mph signs. Same thing on Middle Road. However, I have noticed that speed has been reduced to 35 mph along portions of Sycamore Canyon where speed limits had been higher. We suggest you keep after this situation and you may find a solution. The guys at the County really do mean well and they [mostly] know their business. – J.B.)

Russian Roulette

With the deliberate distraction of the never-ending “investigation” into the “possibility” that President Trump won the election thanks to his friendly ties to Russia, and that Putin overwhelmed the mainstream media (MSM), Americans can be forgiven for a lot of things. For example, if they didn’t know John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign

chairman, had ties with Rusnano, a state-run Russian company founded

by Vladimir Putin. Podesta served on boards and executive committees for three of their entities: Joule Unlimited, Joule Global Holdings, and Joule Global Stichtig. Anatoly Chubais, Rusnano’s CEO, is considered corrupt.

As reported by the D.C. Statesman: “When Podesta joined Barack Obama’s White House in 2014, he failed to reveal a 2011 Joule stock-vesting agreement on his financial disclosure form. He also did not reveal owning 75,000 shares of Joule stock.”

Wikileaks exposed this. Now, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) is calling for a Congressional investigation of Podesta. Gohmert is troubled about the Podesta-Russia connection, suggesting that “this certainly needs to be reviewed to see if there really is something nefarious going on with these activities.” Gohmert sits on the House Judiciary Committee and is vice chair of its subcommittee on crime, terrorism, and homeland security.

The Podesta-Russia connection also could rekindle a new round of questions about Clinton’s relationships with foreign figures, in this case, Mr. Chubais, Russia’s deputy prime minister in the 1990s, who owed his personal fortunes to Bill Clinton, and who embraced him as a “reformer” in former president Boris Yeltsin’s government. Clinton’s ally instead created a

new generation of tycoons who today rule Russia.

A major report by the Government Accountability Institute details a number of troubling Russian connections to the Clintons. There is also a federal lawsuit, Neas Ltd. v. Rusnano that suggests Podesta may have unknowingly aided Rusnano in a scheme to move rubles into U.S. dollars. That’s where Hillary Clinton comes into play: “Shortly after then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pursued her ‘reset’ with Russia, state-owned Russian companies began targeting American companies in Boston and Silicon Valley as investment opportunities.

“In May 2010, under Hillary Clinton’s leadership, the Department of State facilitated a visit by 22 American hi-tech and venture capital firms to Skolkovo, Russia’s version of Silicon Valley, according to GAI. “Rusnano appears to have been a leader in the Russian investment move into the United States. Chubais created a Rusnano ‘investment fund’ and set up a so-called ‘Russian Innovation Center’ in tony Silicon Valley, according to the Neas lawsuit.”

According to the FBI, Russia was allegedly using Joule to gain access to Boston-area high-tech firms in 2014.

They were attempting to get access to classified and emerging technology from various U.S. companies.

Podesta has been a close confidante to the Clintons for years. There have also been some well-documented favors done by the Clintons on behalf of the Russians. If Podesta had any influence over these decisions while working for a Putin-founded company, that is extremely troubling. And it’s more of a link to Russia than anything discovered thus far regarding President Trump.

Larry Bond Santa Barbara (Editor’s note: I continue to be bemused by the lack of interest virtually everyone in the mainstream media has in regard to Saudi Arabia’s extensive donations to the Clintons’ various “non-profit” organizations, especially the $15-mil-

lion “donation” given to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state. And of course, for the multi-hundreds-of-thousands-of-dollars given to both Clintons for “speeches.”

As for President Trump’s “connections” to Russia, I’m also bemused by the manic interest Trump distractors have shown to that; bemused because I can’t see the downside to friendlier relations with Russia. While I do have concerns about the Putin government’s suppression of political, financial, and literary dissent at home and abroad, very little of the same kind of concern was voiced – at least by major media outlets – when the U.S. made allies of the Soviet Union in the middle of World War II in order to fight a more dangerous enemy. Teaming up with Russia again, to fight a more dangerous enemy – this time Islamist terrorists – seems like a good idea to many, including yours truly. – J.B.)

The Cost of 24/7 Care

This is a response to “Repealing the Mandate” (MJ #23/12). Back in my medical school days at USC, it was common knowledge that pregnant women would drive across the border and circle the hospital until labor started and then, we were told, the hospital could not refuse admission.

The child was, again, we were told, automatically a U.S. citizen. Then we heard that hospitals, because this was a subsidized thing, started advertising to draw in pregnant women. Then, again we were told, that one of these babes was born with half a head and that required lots of machines 24/7 to sustain life.

A kind attorney was found who helped assure that the machines and necessary attendants would continue to be there 24/7. The costs escalated and a prolonged period saw the bills climb. The hospital had a large fund that was being gathered for building a free pediatric clinic, but it became necessary to plunder that funding for the 24/7 care.

New on the Market

I

was thrown back on my heels when I looked at new listings and found there were four (count ‘em, four!) new listings that hit the market within 24 hours of one another that stand out. Recently, I have resorted to older inventory, price reductions, and the occasional new listing to find homes and trends to write about, but I’ve gleaned the following four (out of 13 new Montecito listings) as properties that belong on my “Best buys” list.

Three of these new listings are in the same area: East Mountain Drive between Picacho Lane and the San Ysidro Ranch, basically the northern, ocean-view edge of the “golden quadrangle.” The other property featured is a rare offering: the only Miramar beach home formally on the market as of this writing.

Additionally, all of these listings are located within the Montecito Union School District:

Brooktree Drive: prime ocean-view location, $4,150,000

a small lane that features many more expensive homes.

Advertised as a “fixer” property, one could choose to move into this three-bedroom, four-bathroom home as is, or complete any degree of potential upgrades and improvements. This home, I believe, presents an interesting opportunity to live in an area of expensive homes for a fraction of the cost.

Miramar Beach: only Miramar beach home on market, $4,800,000

This three-story custom Montecito home on the sand is situated in one of California’s most sought-after beach enclaves – Miramar Beach – and is a one-of-kind highly appointed cosmopolitan retreat featuring Pacific Ocean views along with those of the Montecito coastline and Channel Islands. Inside the home, natural light makes good use of the high ceilings on every floor with glass doors that open on all levels to the ocean-view decks.

Two full, modern kitchens feature up-to-date appliances. Teak and Brazilian hardwood flooring, teak wood cabinetry, plaster walls, recessed lighting, and radiant heated floors on each level complete the picture. Your new neighbor (if you should purchase this) will be the new Miramar Hotel, which is scheduled to open sometime next year.

East Mountain Drive: tennis court estate, $14,900,000

Proudly resting on 1.88+/- acres in the heart of the golden quadrangle, and a block from the San Ysidro Ranch, rests this Montecito estate, replete with considerable ocean, island, and mountain views.

Wooden You Know It Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra staged a Woodwind Affair at the Lobero under the capable baton of veteran conductor Heiichiro Ohyama.

The entertaining performance kicked off with Francis Poulenc’s 1935 work Suite francaise, composed as incidental music to the play La reine Margot by Edouard Bourdet, before launching into Jeff Scott’s Sacred Women, celebrating ancient beliefs in Africa and the Americas.

Igor Stravinsky’s 1947 work Symphonies of Wind launched the second half, concluding with Kurt Weill’s Kleine Dreigoschenmusik, a 1929 suite from The Threepenny Opera.

A wonderful blow-by-blow event.

Never Better I first saw Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar in 1976 at the Palace Theatre in London’s West End, seeing it again in 1996 at the Lyceum Theatre with rocker Alice Cooper playing King Herod, so, nearly four decades on, I attended the Theater

But I had absolutely nothing to be concerned about as a talented cast, with Jarrett Jay Yoder as Christ, Ilana Gabrielle as Mary Magdalene, and Chasdan Ross Mike as Judas Iscariot, wonderfully performed their roles.

Webber musicals are like good wines. They age well.

Guitarist Hits Ty Notes Ty’s Lounge at the Biltmore was positively strumming when classical guitarist, Chris Fossek, who has been performing there for four years, launched his first CD, Camino Cielo, at a bustling bash.

Chris, who is married to State Street Ballet principal dancer Leila Drake, has performed at far less intimate venues over the years, including the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Rome’s Olympic Stadium, as well as the Granada and Lobero theaters.

With a master’s degree in guitar performance from the California Institute of Arts, he lived for many years in Italy and studied classical music at the University of Bologna, before residing in Spain and Germany, while traveling extensively throughout the Greater Mediterranean area, including Portugal, France, Slovenia, Croatia, Turkey, and Lebanon, all reflected

Among the glorious gaggle of guests, many of whom will no doubt be attending the academy’s $1,000 a ticket gala on May 21 with China’s Yuja Wang and France’s Jean-Yves Thibaudet also performing a four-hand piece on a brand-new Steinway grand, were David and Sharon Bradford, Eve Bernstein, Seymour and Shirley Lehrer, Robert Weinman, Mary Dorra, Mashey Bernstein, Robert and Doris Schaffer, Chris Toomey, Robert and Alex Nourse, George and Carol Porter, Peter and Joanne Norris, Ed and Martha Kaurfman, Jerry and Margy Eberhardt, Terry and Pam Valeski, Mercedes Millington, and Jon Bishop.

To the Royals Go the Spoils As if 57 rooms at his four-story Christopher Wren-designed Kensington Palace home weren’t enough, Prince William and his wife, Kate, are planning a two-story iceberg basement.

The tony twosome have submitted, through the Historic Royal Palaces, a planning application for two extra floors beneath the historic orangery.

The 150-feet-long basement will free

up palace suites, which HRP uses to make way for the staff of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, who lives nearby in the more bijou Nottingham Cottage.

The new floors will also house ceremonial dresses from the Royal Collection. The development will also provide more than 4,500 sq. ft. of extra space over three floors – two below and one above.

The tony twosome also own Anmer Hall, a 10-bedroom, 1802 Georgian home with a pool and tennis court on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, a gift from Queen Elizabeth, just a short distance from an old friend, filmmaker David Rocksavage, the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, who lives at stately Houghton Hall, a Palladian-style pile on 1,000 acres, which was built for Sir Robert Walpole, the first British prime minister.

In 2007, David was made knight commander of the Royal Victorian Order, which is in the monarch’s sole domain, for his 17 years as Lord Great Chamberlain, escorting the queen when she opens Parliament in May. Here’s the Goop Montecito’s newest celebrity resident Gwyneth Paltrow has launched Goop Wellness, along with four gluten-free supplements created to help woman trying to juggle it all.

They’re $90 for a month and promise to boost your flagging energy and

provide you with the vital ingredients to maintain a Gwyneth-approved lifestyle.

The tablets come with unusually and somewhat humorous bottles titled: Why Am I So Effing Tired?, The Mother Load, Balls in the Air, and High School Genes.

Dr. Alejandro Junger, who has been with Goop since its inception, helped formulate the Why Am I So Effing Tired? especially with the 44-year-old Oscar winner in mind, who says: “No matter how much sleep I get, I still feel exhausted.”

The pills promise to counter adrenal fatigue with high doses of vitamin B and “help balance an overtaxed system.”

Balls in the Air is a multivitamin to promote overall health and well-being, while The Mother Load is the “Rolls Royce” of pre and post-natal vitamins.

And High School Genes, created by hormone expert Dr. Sara Gottfried, is focused specifically on pre and post-menapausal women who feel their metabolism is slowing down.

Goop reassures customers the supplements are gluten and GMO-free and the oils are “sourced from fresh, wild-caught fish.”

Double Dates Montecito resident Ellen DeGeneres is teaming up with actress Drew Barrymore, a former member of our rarefied enclave, to co-produce a new TV show First Dates.

The program, which has been tremendously successful on British TV for four years, debuts on NBC next month.

The former Oscars host, who is celebrating the 14th anniversary of her eponymous Burbank-based TV talk show, took to Twitter to share a link to a trailer for the new program, which promises just as much fun and awkwardness as the English original.

In the trailer, a host of romantic hopefuls are seen meeting over dinner as they attempt – with varying degrees of success – to woo one another.

With hidden cameras placed all over the restaurant to catch the action, a woman is seen making a beeline for

the restroom, where she complains on her cell phone that she “hates” the man she is on a date with.

Barnaby Coughlin, executive producer, says: “We get a lot of people on First Dates who wouldn’t normally be on TV. The characters we’re drawn to are those that are there for a reason, and we only want people on the show who we feel we can help. Real people.”

Fond Farewell On a personal note, I mark the passing of Silvio Di Loreto, an utterly charming and affable individual, at the age of 91.

I first met Silvio, a top realtor, when I moved to our Eden by the Beach from Hancock Park in Los Angeles in 2007 at a charity dinner for Hillside House at Tita Lanning’s Montecito estate, El Mirador.

He regaled me with his culinary skills and even gave me a bag of his homemade toffees.

I last saw him in October at the Rescue Mission’s lunch at Rancho Dos Pueblos when he was honored with the Leni Fe Bland Award for the important role he played in helping the nonprofit secure its Yanonali Street property.

More than 400 people turned out for his 90th birthday at City College, where he was president of the board from 1983 to 1987.

Silvio was particularly proud of his son, Dante, a TV producer on the hit series Glee.

A great character who will be much missed.

On Entertainment

by Steven Libowitz

Hershey’s Take on Songbook: Better than Chocolate

H

ershey Felder has only a vague memory of the last time he performed in Santa Barbara, recalling that he was “still a kid” and not much more. But even if Sunday’s concert at the Lobero also doesn’t make much of an impression on the pianist-singer, it’s likely that those in the audience will remember the night for a long time.

Felder is widely known and decorated with awards for his musical character tributes that range from George Gershwin to Irving Berlin, and Chopin to Beethoven. Over the last 20 years, the self-created solo productions have played on Broadway and in some of the world’s most prestigious theaters, more than 4,500 performances in all. Felder’s “The Great American Songbook” concert on Sunday – a benefit for the Santa Ynez Valley Jewish Community – will feature his signature style, as well as audience participation as he takes listeners through 100 years of American music, visiting all of the above greats plus Jerome Kern, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Stephen Sondheim, among others.

Singing along is not only allowed but encouraged.

Felder – who is also a composer whose works include “Aliyah, Concerto for Piano and Orchestra,” “Fairytale, a musical” and “Les Anges de Paris, Suite for Violin and Piano” – has also been a scholar-in-residence at Harvard University’s Department of Music and is married to Kim Campbell, who in 1993 was the first female prime minister of Canada. He talked about the show and more over the phone from New York earlier this week.

Q. We just had John Pizzarelli and Jack Jones back to back here at the Lobero last week performing mostly material from The Great American Songbook. Why do you think these songs hold up as well as hold such appeal for you?

Steven Libowitz has reported on the arts and entertainment for more than 30 years; he has contributed to the Montecito Journal for more than ten years.

A. They are great works. They speak to what America stood for over a long period of time. The music is direct, it’s clear, and the language is very direct and easy to understand. It’s not arcane. And it captures a sense of who people feel that they are, or at least want to be, in this country nowadays. Starting with Irving Berlin and through the Gershwins on up through the great show tunes of the 1970s, those songs captured a sense of what America is about, and a way that people feel they can belong.

How do you choose what songs to play considering the vast catalog from a century of music?

There is a story involved, of why these songs show up. They’re ones that most people can sing easily. You can’t do numbers where there are lots of words that come very fast. But with ballad or character songs, people can take in in a fun way, which is what they really want to do. Look back over time – there’s a long tradition of standing around the piano and singing, but we don’t do it much anymore.

So whenever there’s the opportunity, it’s a lot of fun. People really take to it and laugh a lot.

Singing along is encouraged for this show, which makes it much more of a community event than a typical concert. How did you come to that idea?

I’ve been doing it since I was on Broadway with the Gershwin show and some lady started singing along loud enough for me to hear her. I

thought, why don’t we do a whole show like that? It’s very interactive and a lot of fun – the audience is like the choir and orchestra and I’m the conductor. It’s got a whole shtick going on.

The show has worked for a long time, but we’re going through very interesting times right now, and people want to feel a sense of unity and togetherness. It’s a time in America when people are at loose ends. They want remember that time when things were less complicated. Everyone relates to this music on a visceral level.

And it’s lovely to hear an entire auditorium full of people singing.

You are known for having created a series of character shows where you impersonate a composer on stage. Will there be any of that this time around?

Not with this show. I started doing that after it was suggested to me to play role of George Gershwin after meeting with his family 20 years ago.

Somehow it worked. Now I’ve developed the style to do Gershwin or Irving Berlin, and it’s very popular… but it’s all part of a grander scheme of why we are doing these songs. I get into the historical information about the composers, help people to understand where the songs come from, and where they fit in. I just did a run as Tchaikovsky on the West Coast, I’ll be doing Irving Berlin in Berkeley, and then I’m in Palo Alto with Beethoven.

It goes on all year long. I guess you have to be careful what you wish for.

Hearing that, I’m wondering if you’ll perform any of your own compositions at the Lobero?

No, no. None of that. Just the real traditional things people can sing along to. But there are a lot of classic songs that I love to do – “Fiddler on the Roof”, “The Sound of Music”, “West Side Story”. Things where the melody and lyrics work in tandem.

They’re beautiful songs and people love them.

That was a very diplomatic response.

Speaking of which, you are married to a former politician, Kim Campbell, who is also more than 20 years your senior.

Has she influenced you in terms of taking political stances on questions such as the Middle East?

I’ve always been very involved, very Jewish, very publicly. Even my characters – Berlin, Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein – are all Jews. I’ve never shied away from it. Shy I am not, except maybe when I am home. I come to life on the stage.

My parents are both Holocaust survivors. I grew up in a very Zionist environment, and I am fluent in Hebrew. But when I got well-known and started meeting influential people, I began to understand that there are two sides to every story. People want things to be black or white.

But we can’t all have what we want and ignore what other people need.

It’s not that simple. As my wife says, democracy is a blunt instrument, but it’s one that keeps on going. You can’t stop developing.

(Hershey Felder in Concert: The Great American Songbook takes place 5:30 to 7 pm Sunday at the Lobero Theatre.

with next weekend’s event, was much more than music. In its first five years, Lucidity not only created its own integral if ephemeral community, it also served as a consciousness and cultural expanding gathering loosely based on Joseph Campbell’s famed The Hero’s Journey.

That voyage comes to a close April 7-9 with Eudaimonia, the final chapter in the six-year arc, one that translates from the Greek as “human flourishing,” representing the organizers and participants’ optimistic vision for our collective future.

Along the way, Lucidity has evolved from a simple weekend festival to a year-round concept that stages events around town, including last month’s pre-party at SOhO, where Dave Zaboski created a painting on the patio in full view of the evening’s revelers. Zaboski – a former Senior Animator with Disney, Sony and Warner Bros. whose credits include Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Pocahontas, Tarzan, The Emperor’s New Groove and Fantasia 2000 – is also one of the workshop leaders at Lucid University, a slate of courses offered during Lucidity Festival build week, comprises six different three-day intensives designed to offer immersive educational experiences.

Zaboski’s is dubbed “Creating Your Personal Mythology” and is found under the CreativeWorks banner, but might as well represent the entire ethos behind the courses and the sixyear festival itself. “We’ll take people through the arc of the Lucid mythology, starting with awakening to your calling,” he said. “The artists’ practices have been established to connect us deeply to our own source. Dance, art, music – any master has codified systems for achieving that. So we’ll look beyond art to movement and deep alchemical systems for creation.”

The purpose, Zaboski explained, is to lift the collective consciousness at the festival and beyond. “Once we take you to the crossroads and help you define and create your new story, we release the participants into the

field, the festival, as ambassadors for Eudaimonia. We need more people to tell that story of human life thriving.

That’s what the workshop is all about.”

Indeed, that’s what the festival, the entire six years, is all about – the hero’s journey into the depths, the confrontation at the crossroads, and the emergence into a new story.

At Live Oak, Lucidity covers course work and then offers all sorts of ways to connect and heal, from workshops, cacao ceremonies, and sound baths to ecstatic dancing and lots of live music.

And Lucidity hasn’t stopped evolving even in its final year of the six-entry cycle. There’s a new stage this year, as the Alive Stage and Lover’s Nest Village have been “smooshed together” to create the Nest Stage, said festival co-founder Jonah Haas, who also wanted to call attention to Random Rab, the electronic music artist dubbed the “Master of Emotion”, who is returning to Lucidity for the first time since Year One, representing the cycle.

How whatever’s next unfolds after April 7-9 has yet to be finalized, but Haas noted that even if Lucidity itself were to move to a larger site, Live Oak will always be a venue for some sort of festival through the organization.

“It’s the end of a cycle, but it’s only the last chapter in our six-year story,” he said. “It’s like the season finale of your favorite TV show. But we’re not being canceled.”

(Lucid University CourseWeek takes place April 3-5; the Lucidity Festival on April 7-9. Both at Live Oak Campground, 4600 Chumash Highway [Hwy. 154].

FINDERS KEEPERS

American Songbook, the concert features and honors the veteran local pianist-entertainer Gil Rosas. Now 81, Rosas is best known for his years playing at The Somerset Restaurant and Olive Mill Bistro here in Montecito, and Saturday he’ll reprise a bit of his act, which featured a virtuoso style of “orchestral” artistry at the piano, as well as an extraordinarily extensive repertoire that set him apart as a musical artist.

Joining Gil onstage are eight of Santa Barbara’s finest professional musicians and singers, familiar names one and all, including the nearly omnipresent rhythm section of drummer Tom Lackner and bassist Randy Tico, plus frequent comrades George Friedenthal on piano and vocals, and Tom Buckner on alto and soprano saxes. The jazz guitarist Chris Judge and guitarist-singer Jackson Gillies, the 2016 Santa Barbara Teen Star, and vocalists Luca Ellis and Kimberly Ford are also part of the band.

Produced by Rod Lathim, With a Song in My Heart represents a departure from the previous two benefits for the Center for Successful Aging – Senior (Musical) Moments and Puttin’ on the Ritz – as those comprised skits and stories, as well as songs, featuring community members who are seniors paired with youths. But given the breath of talent and experience of this year’s performers, not to mention camaraderie from years of playing together, should result in a thrilling exploration of both traditional and contemporary arrangements of some of the most loved music from the golden era. Expect an elegant evening of entertainment drawn from the soundtrack to the lives of today’s seniors.

Tickets for the 2 pm show on Saturday at the Marjorie Luke Theatre cost just $20 general, $10 for children (it’s never too early to introduce them to great performances of timeless music).

Eight is Enough

“I cannot wait to take the stage at the Granada!” Kathy Griffin enthused in an email interview last weekend. Who can blame her?

For decades, the gifted comedian has made a career out of lambasting, lampooning, and otherwise laughing at the ludicrous and lascivious behavior of A-Listers, and Santa Barbara has about a high a concentration of the rich and famous – and those who love to make fun of them – as any enclave outside of Beverly Hills. So what if Griffin herself has escaped her so-called “Life on the D-List” via her ceaseless poking of fun at celebrities and now has fairly equivalent name recognition as those she targets. She’s always willing to take it on the chin herself, even if her jaw isn’t as pronounced as Jay Leno’s.

Given the current political climate, it would be foolish to not show up ready to giggle and guffaw as Griffin – a two-time Emmy and Grammy award-winner who is also a New York Times bestselling author – gallops through the gaffes of famous folks in her current “Celebrity Run-In” Tour stop at the Granada for an 8 pm show on Saturday, April 1. The raucous redhead relies on fact and fandom to fuel her act, one that is so simple and direct, it’s as easy to marvel at as it is to enjoy.

A Yoga Experience

Montecito’s 83-year-old Iyengar yoga instructor Eric Small, with some of his notable credentials behind him

T

here are yoga classes, and there are experiences, and then there are yoga experiences. Having guested at many yoga classes while researching Fitness Front, I can state emphatically that the classes I attended under Eric Small’s tutelage were definitely the latter. I found Iyengar yoga to be the most rewarding of all yoga forms, both physically and spiritually. With the instructor’s vigilant guidance, I stretched my inner body as well as my muscles, and the relief I felt from everyday stress was an entirely unexpected bi-product of the class.

A senior teacher, and first-generation practitioner of the Hatha yoga form, Eric studied the discipline in Puna, India, with the founder of the modality himself: B. K.S. lyengar, a man Eric affectionately calls Guruji—a respectful term denoting wisdom. The 50 years Eric has devoted to learning his craft surpasses most teachers’ dedication by decades.

And it is teaching.

The degree to which the mind comes into play during an Iyengar yoga class is far beyond that of directives to “chaturanga” or “assume a warrior pose.”

From standing triangles, to leg extensions with belts, to modified downward dogs, the execution of asanas (physical practice of yoga poses) is always preceded by explanation, demonstration, and deconstruction.

“The reason why the details and dynamic are so important is that Iyengar yoga engages the mind,” Eric explains. “This increases concentration; that in turn increases consciousness; and what is consciousness if not enlightenment?”

Eyes sparkling with good health, the

83-year-old belies his age as he moves lithely about his high-ceilinged studio, fragrant with the scent of sandalwood incense wafting in through open doors, the background of burbling fountain as melodious as his modulations that caution the class to keep soft knees as they perform movements designed to improve standing posture.

“The training of the teacher emphasizes safety and respect for the student. It’s a professional, highly regulated training program,” he says.

“There are thousands of teachers that teach yoga,” he notes, “but very few as trained as Iyengar instructors. You go to an Iyengar class and you’re going to have the very best.”

Kamala Nellen, a coach for elite athletes, agreed. “I come because Eric has a very subtle understanding of Iyengar yoga. He’s better than ninety percent of the instructors out there.”

It’s an opinion shared by fellow classmate Alicia Ross, who adds, “I like the poses especially well, because I can feel my inner body relaxing.”

Clearly, the Catalina Island native is no slouch when it comes to instilling a sense of appreciation in his clients.

Having taught the discipline for more

than 50 years, Eric brings an artist’s flair to the lessons, having earned a B.A. at UCLA, and a Master of Fine Arts from Otis Institute. Having attained the excellence necessary to be awarded a Senior Intermediate Level II certificate from the B. K.S. Iyengar lnstitute, he’s taught yoga since the mid-1960s.

A one-time instructor at UC Berkeley, Los Angeles Unified School District, Beverly Hills Adult Education and the Iyengar Yoga Institute in Los Angeles, he’s also served on the teaching staff at Iyengar Yoga conventions, both in America and across the seas. A true powerhouse, Eric travels nationwide teaching Yoga workshops and seminars for MS and non-MS students alike, and you can be sure the four weekly classes he stages in Montecito and Santa Barbara are as top-notch as his following indicates.

“When you come into a workshop or class with me, you’ve already filled out a questionnaire. When I walk into the room that first morning,” he explains, “I already know who’s in the class. I make my evaluation of that student, so I can tell student A needs a chair, student B needs a strap, and student C needs a block – based on what I’ve learned.” He points out however, that the focus of each session is formulated at the moment the group convenes, or as he puts it, “Teaching is here and now.”

Encouraging his students to adapt exercises to the appropriate level given any physical limitations, Eric cues these modifications with such simple directives as to press splayed fingers together, to extend arms overhead from the elbow instead of the shoulder, and to align the head with the heart rather than position of the leg.

“I use a lot of props,” he says, “and the reason why is to avoid injury, and to avoid any unknown or ill effect. My students leave the class with a very positive, informed attitude.”

With the aid of bolsters, belts, sticky mats, and chairs, we worked our way through four asanas – not, as Eric informed me – the 15 or so poses you might perform in a less advanced practice. More mysterious to me, initially, were his instructions to “move the navel to the left” when performing leg extensions from a prone position, and to “keep the tongue away from

the roof of the mouth and teeth” when performing all the activities we covered, but I was to learn both play key parts in attaining the full benefit of the movement. The former addressing the Iyengar tenet of “flushing, squeezing, and rinsing” the visceral organs near your lower extremities, and the latter pertaining to opening up the lungs.

“Classes are a thing of the West,” Eric opines. “In India, yoga was never taught as a class. A student used to come and sit at the feet of a yogi and wait until the yogi accepted him. A process that sometimes took months.”

He notes that “Regardless of locale, an Iyengar instructor enables you to use what you learn in the class for everyday tasks. It’s applicable to daily living.”

And not-so-daily living.

Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when he was just 22, Eric was galvanized into action rather than sidelined by the neurological affliction that causes communication problems between the brain and body. Defying doctors’ predictions by living far beyond the 40 years they projected, and ambulating with grace and ease, I was hard put to tell he had any infirmity at all during the classes I attended, a result the Montecito resident attributes directly to Iyengar yoga. Those are benefits he is determined to share with other sufferers of MS; one of his weekly classes is geared toward those living with the malady and other neurological conditions.

“He does the scope,” says Anamaria Herrera, her warm brown eyes giving no hint of the autoimmune condition she endures. “I’ve been coming for years,” she reveals, adding, “His incredible knowledge of the poses is unparalleled.”

And his approach is always fresh.

With his suggestion “to keep it new, and continue evolving” echoing in my mind, I finished my review of this exceptional man as an entirely invigorated and enlightened participant.

ORDINANCE NO. 92 3.

Water for private swimming pools is considered a non-essential use. Homeowners of private swimming pools are permitted to maintain water levels for existing pools but shall not drain and refill an existing pool. All swimming pool owners with pool covers shall cover pools when not in use. On written application to the General Manager for an exception, a property owner may be authorized to drain a pool for repair and to refill it, provided that: a.

The General Manager finds a net benefit to the water conservation goal of this ordinance; b.

The pool can be refilled within the property’s water allocation; and c.

The pool shall be fitted with a pool cover and the property owner shall use that cover consistently to limit evaporation.

A property owner granted an exception under this paragraph shall comply with reasonable written conditions imposed by the General Manager and failure to do so shall constitute a violation of this ordinance.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MONTECITO WATER DISTRICT DECLARING A WATER SHORTAGE EMERGENCY AND PROVIDING FOR RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF WATER AND PENALTIES FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH CONSERVATION MEASURES WHEREAS, the Montecito Water District (“District”) is a County Water District organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, situated and serving an area entirely within the County of Santa Barbara; WHEREAS, The District’s dependence on surface water supplies and the adverse effects of unpredictable and unreliable rain have been the primary reasons for historical water shortages.

Rainfall for the last three consecutive years has been well below the historical average at 53% in 2011, 31% in 2012 and 7% to date for 2014. The below average rainfall has resulted in no recharge to the District’s local water supplies including Jameson Lake, Lake Cachuma and the groundwater basin resulting in a significant reduction of the normal available water supply; WHEREAS, Local water supplies continue to decline with Jameson Lake and Doulton Tunnel water supplies severely restricted providing an estimated 810 acre feet (“AF”) during the current water year which began October 1, 2013. During normal years these two sources provide approximately 2100 AF of water; WHEREAS, Due to the dry weather conditions affecting the entire State of California, the District’s imported State Water Project supply has been set by the Department of Water Resources at a historically low allocation of 0% of the District’s total annual allocation of 3,300 AF; WHEREAS, The loss of private wells due to decreased groundwater levels through the lack of groundwater recharge and continuing dry weather conditions has led to an alarming increase in customer demand. For the 2012-13 water year, water sales through December 2012 were 1,217 AF. In contrast, water sales for the current 2013-2014 water year through December 2013 increased by approximately 320 AF. Given current trends, projected water sales through the end of the 2013-14 water year are estimated to be 6,638 AF; WHEREAS, For the 2013-14 water year, assuming no mandatory cutbacks in the Cachuma Project water deliveries, the District will have a total estimated water supply of 5,300 AF, including losses and excluding sources with unknown delivery amounts; WHEREAS, The following table and graph show the 2013-14 water year with the available water supply of 5,300 AF. This table and graph illustrate the monthly change to the available water supply without conservation or water use restrictions applied. The water demand values include actual demand for the period October 2013 through January 2014. Demand values from February 2014 through September 30, 2014 are the recorded customer water demand for the period February 2013 through September 30, 2013 even though demand has continued to increase. This estimate assumes continuing dry weather conditions.

WHEREAS, If dry weather conditions continue and water consumption levels remain similar to those in the 2012-13 water year, the District will exhaust its available 2013-14 water supply in July unless there is an immediate 30% reduction in water use or the District is able to find supplemental water. The use of the water supply for fire protection purposes will only exacerbate this situation.

4.

District water is not available for new private or public swimming pools, ponds, or major water features during the water shortage emergency, therefore, the District will immediately cease processing all applications for these items. If a new swimming pool, pond, or water feature has been previously reviewed and approved by the District prior to the date of this Ordinance and the property owner elects to continue with its installation, it must be filled within the property’s water allocation. The District will not permit or provide approval for the construction of new private and public swimming pools, ponds, or major water features within its water service boundary while this Ordinance is in effect.

WHEREAS, Pursuant to its authority under section 350 of the Water Code, the District may declare a water shortage emergency condition when it finds and determines that the ordinary demands and requirements of water consumers cannot be satisfied without depleting the water supply to the extent that there would be insufficient water for human consumption, sanitation, and fire protection; and WHEREAS, Pursuant to section 353 of the Water Code, after declaring a water shortage emergency, the District may adopt restrictions on the consumption of water in order to conserve the water supply for the greatest public benefit with particular regard to domestic use, sanitation, and fire protection; and

5.

All restaurants and other eating establishments that provide table service shall post, in a conspicuous place, a notice of drought condition and shall refrain from serving water except upon specific request by a customer.

WHEREAS, Section 31026 of the Water Code similarly permits the District to restrict use of water during any emergency caused by drought, and to prohibit the wastage of water during such periods;

6.

Operators of hotel-resorts, motels and other commercial establishments offering lodging shall post in each room a notice of drought condition containing water conservation information and a separate notice with language similar to the following:

WHEREAS, Notice of a time and place of a public hearing held on February 11, 2014 was duly given and published, and customers were given an opportunity to be heard and protest against a declaration that a water shortage emergency condition prevails within the District, and protests and testimony were duly received and considered by the District’s Board of Directors (“Board” or “Board of Directors”).

This region is suffering a serious water shortage. Sheets and towels are customarily changed between guests. If you would like your sheets to be changed, please leave this card on your pillow. If you would like your towels to be changed, please leave them on the floor of the bathroom.

Housekeeping will be pleased to accommodate you.

WHEREAS, On February 11, 2014, the Board of Directors adopted this Ordinance 92, under which the Board declared a water shortage emergency condition pursuant to Water Code section 350 and adopted restrictions on water use, including the cessation of processing all applications for new water service, other than those permitted by the District through its ongoing Certificate of Water Service Availability process.

WHEREAS, Notwithstanding continuing uncertainty in the District’s water supply under which the Board’s declaration of a water shortage emergency remains in effect, the Board now desires to process certain new water service applications for which the District issued a permit prior to the April 15, 2008 effective date of Ordinance 89.

7.

Vehicles shall be washed only at commercial car washing facilities or by the use of a bucket or hose equipped with a hand-operated shut off valve.

8.

The washing of hard surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks, patios and parking lots is prohibited except where necessary to protect health and safety.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MONTECITO WATER DISTRICT AS FOLLOWS:

9.

Breaks or leaks in any customer’s plumbing must be immediately repaired upon discovery. If repairs cannot be immediately completed, water service to the property shall be turned off by the customer or customer’s agent to prevent water loss until such time as the repair has been completed.

On the basis of prevailing dry weather conditions, water supply shortages, customer demand that cannot be met by available sources without depleting the District’s water supply to the extent that there would be insufficient water for human consumption, sanitation, and fire protection, the Board hereby continues its declaration of a water shortage emergency condition pursuant to Water Code section 350. Under this water shortage emergency, restrictions on water use are hereby adopted and include the following:

10. All customers are encouraged to practice water conservation with a goal of a minimum thirty percent reduction in district-wide water use.

11. The penalties for violation of this Ordinance will fund both conservation outreach toward those who fail to conserve water and the purchase, if available, of additional, very costly, water supplies to offset wasteful consumption and protect the health and safety of all customers. Because these costs are necessary to provide water service under current drought conditions, the Board finds that the rates for water service, including penalties established under this Ordinance:

1.

The District will immediately cease processing all applications for new water service and the increase in the size of an existing water meter(s) serving properties within its service boundary. This suspension will not affect those new water meter services that have been permitted by the District through its ongoing Certificate of Water Service Availability process; nor will this suspension affect new water meter service for which the District issued a permit prior to the April 15, 2008 effective date of Ordinance 89, provided that the project requiring new water meter service includes the installation of state-of-the-art water conservation technology subject to approval by the General Manager, and that the estimated water usage for the project does not exceed the Maximum Available Quantity, as determined under Ordinance 89.

a. b. c. d.

2.

Exterior irrigation, including but not limited to irrigation of turf, plants, lawns, shrubbery and ground cover, shall be permitted according to the following schedule: if automated, irrigation shall be allowed only between the hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. If manually operated, irrigation shall be allowed only between the hours of 4 p.m. and 10:30 a.m. Written requests for relief from these irrigation restrictions shall be directed to the District’s General Manager (“General Manager”) and will be subject to the appeal process in Section 13 of this ordinance.

• The Voice of the Village •

Are not expected to exceed the funds required to provide water service.

Will not be used for any purpose other than to provide water service and conservation outreach.

Will not exceed the proportional cost of water service attributable to any parcel.

Are imposed only where water service is actually used by, or immediately available to, a parcel.

12. A written warning will be issued for a first violation.

As a penalty for the second violation, and any subsequent violation, of restrictions set forth herein, the District will impose a fine in the amount of $250 and doubling with each subsequent violation, up to a maximum of $1,000 for any single violation. Upon a fourth violation, or upon an earlier violation the General Manager determines to create a significant threat to the goals of this Ordinance, the General

30 March – 6 April 2017

Manager may order installation of a flow restrictor on the service line or lines in question. Such an order shall be written and subject to appeal pursuant to paragraph 13 of this Ordinance. Orders shall be provided to the Board when issued and any appeal shall be heard as quickly as possible to allow a flow restrictor to be removed promptly should the Board grant the appeal.

13. Appeals and Exceptions.

A. Any customer may appeal any decision made or fine imposed under this Ordinance to the Board of Directors by filing a written appeal with the District within 30 days of written notice of the decision or fine. Such an appeal shall be accompanied by an appeal fee in an amount established from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. If a person appeals any fine under this Ordinance, all amounts due to District must be paid before the Appeals Committee will hear the appeal and the Appeals Committee may dismiss an appeal for nonpayment, making the action appealed final as to the District and not subject to further appeal. The Appeals Committee will hear the appellant and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall consider the recommendations of the Appeals Committee. The District shall give the appellant written notice of the meetings at which the appeal will be considered by the Appeals Committee and the Board.

B. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, continue a hearing, affirm, reverse, or modify the Appeals Committee’s recommendation and make any adjustments and impose any conditions it deems just and proper, if it finds two or more of the following: (1) the restrictions of this Ordinance would cause an undue hardship, (2) the granting of the appeal will not significantly adversely affect the goals of this Ordinance, (3) due to peculiar facts and circumstances, none of the provisions of this Ordinance are applicable to the situation under consideration; or (4) error in the application of this Ordinance or other applicable rules or law.

C. The Board’s decision shall be written and provided to the appellant and any other person who requests notice of the decision in writing. Such decisions are final as to the District and not subject to further appeal unless the Board’s decision expressly provides otherwise. Judicial review of final decisions shall be available pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.5.

14. If any subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforcement of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. It is the District’s express intent that each remaining portion would have been adopted irrespective of the fact that one or more subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared invalid or unenforceable.

15. This Ordinance shall become effective upon adoption and shall remain in effect until the Board declares that a water shortage emergency no longer exists.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Directors of the Montecito Water District this 21st day of March 2017.

EEO Specification STANDARD FEDERAL EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT SPECIFICATIONS 1. As used in these specifications: a. "Covered area" means the geographical area described in the solicitation from which this contract resulted; b. "Director" means Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), U.S. Department of Labor, or any person to whom the Director delegates authority; c. "Employer identification number" means the Federal social security number used on the Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, U.S. Treasury Department Form 941; d.

2. Whenever the contractor, or any subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of the work involving any construction trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions of these specifications and the Notice which contains the applicable goals for minority and female participation and which is set forth in the solicitations from which this contract resulted.

3. If the contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area

My wife has a type. I’m not it.

(including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades which have unions participating in the Plan.

Contractors shall be able to demonstrate their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan.

Each contractor or subcontractor participating in an approved plan is individually required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause and to make a good faith effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees. The overall good faith performance by other contractors or subcontractors toward a goal in an approved Plan does not excuse any covered contractor's or subcontractor's failure to take good faith efforts to achieve the Plan goals and timetables.

4. The contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in paragraphs 7a through 7p of these specifications. The goals set forth in the solicitation from which this contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the total hours of employment and training of minority and female utilization the contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which it has employees in the covered area. Covered construction contractors performing construction work in a geographical area where they do not have a Federal or federally assisted construction contract shall apply the minority and female goals established for the geographical area where the work is being performed. Goals are published periodically in the Federal Register in notice form, and such notices may be obtained from any Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs office or from Federal procurement contracting officers.

The contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress in meeting its goals in each craft during the period specified.

5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement nor the failure by a union with whom the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement to refer either minorities or women shall excuse the contractor's obligations under these specifications, Executive Order 11246 or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.

6. In order for the non-working training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees shall be employed by the contractor during the training period and the contractor shall have made a commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their training, subject to the availability of employment opportunities.

Trainees shall be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor.

7. The contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment opportunity. The evaluation of the contractor's compliance with these specifications shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its actions. The contractor shall document these efforts fully and shall implement affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the following: a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the contractor's employees are assigned to work. The contractor, where possible, will assign two or more women to each construction project. The contractor shall specifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents, and other onsite supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the contractor's obligation to maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals working at such sites or in such facilities. b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment sources, provide written notification to minority and female recruitment sources and to community organizations when the contractor or its unions have employment opportunities available, and maintain a record of the organizations' responses. c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of each minority and female off-the-street applicant and minority or female referral from a union, a recruitment source, or community organization and of what action was taken with respect to each such individual. If such individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back to the contractor by the union or, if referred, not employed by the contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefore along with whatever additional actions the contractor may have taken. d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or unions with which the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not referred to the contractor a minority person or female sent by the contractor, or when the contractor has other information that the union referral process has impeded the contractor's efforts to meet its obligations. e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the contractor's employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor. The contractor shall provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 7b above. f. Disseminate the contractor's EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location where construction work is performed. g. Review, at least annually, the company's EEO policy and affirmative action obligations under these specifications with all employees having any responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination, or other employment decisions including specific review of these items with onsite supervisory personnel such a superintendents, general foremen, etc., prior to the initiation of construction work at any job site. A written record shall be made and maintained identifying the time and place of these meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of the subject matter. h. Disseminate the contractor's EEO policy externally by including

MONTECITO JOURNAL

39

it in any advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and female news media, and providing written notification to and discussing the contractor's EEO policy with other contractors and subcontractors with whom the contractor does or anticipates doing business. i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female, and community organizations, to schools with minority and female students; and to minority and female recruitment and training organizations serving the contractor's recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than one month prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source, the contractor shall send written notification to organizations, such as the above, describing the openings, screening procedures, and tests to be used in the selection process. j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority persons and women and, where reasonable, provide after school, summer, and vacation employment to minority and female youth both on the site and in other areas of a contractor's workforce. k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do so under 41 CFR Part 60-3. l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all minority and female personnel, for promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such opportunities. m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments, and other personnel practices do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the contractor's obligations under these specifications are being carried out. n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are nonsegregated except that separate or single user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be provided to assure privacy between the sexes. o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontracts from minority and female construction contractors and suppliers, including circulation of solicitations to minority and female contractor associations and other business associations. p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisor's adherence to and performance under the contractor's EEO policies and affirmative action obligations.

8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations, which assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through 7p). The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor union, contractor community, or other similar groups of which the contractor is a member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of its obligations under 7a through 7p of these specifications provided that the contractor actively participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the contractor's minority and female workforce participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the contractor's and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the contractor's noncompliance.

9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established. The contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and non-minority. Consequently, if the particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the contractor has achieved its goals for women generally,) the contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized.

10. The contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

11. The contractor shall not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm debarred from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246.

12. The contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination, and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Santa Barbara will conduct a Public Hearing on Tuesday, April 11, 2017, during the afternoon session of the meeting which begins at 2:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber, City Hall, 735 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara. The hearing is to consider the appeal filed by Michelle Greene, Goleta City Manager for the City of Goleta, of the Planning Commission’s October 6, 2016 approval of a Development Plan for a light industrial and commercial project at 6100 Hollister Avenue (Project). The Project structures would entail 47,186 sq. ft. (net) on an approximately 5.29-acre (net) Santa Barbaraowned site within the City of Santa Barbara Airport Industrial Area Specific Plan and zoned for light industrial and commercial use. The project will include two 3,776 square foot (net) retail buildings and seven light industrial buildings of approximately 4500 - 7500 sq. ft. (net) each, of modular design to allow one or more tenants. The development will include 143 parking spaces and approximately 100,000 square feet of landscaped area, with a detention basin for both onsite and Wallace Becknell Road storm water run-off.

The appellant appeal is based on the City’s environmental review determination under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provisions that the project is within the scope of analysis of the prior certified environmental impact report for the Airport Industrial Area Specific Plan and does not require a new environmental document; and that the project does not require mitigation for traffic impacts within the City of Goleta.

If you challenge the Council's action on this appeal in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City at, or prior to, the public hearing.

ENDING THIS WEEK Coping Skills on Video – SafeLaunch.org, the teen wellness initiative focused on preventing adolescent drug and alcohol exposure, and the Santa Barbara Unified School District are presenting the 2017 Media $500 Video Contest for secondary students titled “How I Cope – What I Do When Life Gives Me Lemons”.

THURSDAY, MARCH 30 Dynamic Duo – Vince Gill and Lyle Lovett initially joined forces for a tour back in 2014, during which they performed on stage together but without a set list, as the pair of Grammy Awardwinning singer-songwriters played both together and separately. The reception was so enthusiastic that they’ve continued to tour each year since creating new evenings of impromptu stories and unplanned songs with each stop. Gill first found success in the 1970s as lead singer of the countryrock band Pure Prairie League (“Amy”) before going solo with the album Turn Me Loose in 1984. He’s since sold more than 26 million albums and earned 21 Grammy Awards, more than any other male country music artist to date. Lovett, who has done similar spontaneousshows tours with John Hiatt, began his career as simply a songwriter, but took to the microphone himself 30 years ago when he released his self-titled debut album that introduced his unique

composition of country, folk, swing, blues, jazz, and gospel music. WHEN: 8 pm WHERE: Highway 246 in Santa Ynez COST: $75 to $115 INFO: www. chumashcasino.com FRIDAY, MARCH 31 Surreal Selah – Selah Dance Collective, the Santa Barbara dance company created by UCSB Dance graduate Meredith Cabaniss, premieres her latest work, Endgame, in a weekend of dance from around the country sponsored by Nebula Dance Lab. The evening-length project, which was inspired by Samuel Beckett’s play of the same name and

by Marcel Duchamp and other artists of the 1913 Armory Show, explores the fluid balance of reality and illusion as expressed by the continual reconciliation of what we wish and what we know. The piece creates a world where the usable becomes unusable, the obvious is suspicious, and reality is questioned, with the work coming to life through emotional rawness, physical exertion, and fastpaced, non-linear narrative. Similar to Nebula’s HHII dance festival, the weekend also features performances from Hannah Ruth Brothers (SB), Smashworks Dance (New York), Bones Movement (San Francisco), and Novus Dance Project (Los Angeles).

SATURDAY, APRIL 1 First Deutches Since Aughts – Conductor JoAnne Wasserman leads the Santa Barbara Choral Society and Orchestra in its first performance of Brahms’s Ein Deutches Requiem (A German Requiem) in a decade this weekend. Unlike the liturgical text of a traditional Roman Catholic requiem mass that is a prayer for the soul of the dead – and thus is filled with images of judgment, retribution, and a plea for salvation – Brahms’s longest work offers an abiding message of peace and hope to comfort the living. The text is in German, leading to its title, but Brahms himself wanted to refer to “Humanity” instead as his inspired work is truly a balm for the soul and a solace for all humanity. Los Angeles soprano Tamara Bevard and internationally acclaimed New York-based baritone Lester Lynch serve as the soloists for the work that might very well offer a welcome respite for our current times of unrest. WHEN: 8 tonight, 3 pm tomorrow WHERE: First Presbyterian Church, 21 East Constance Ave. COST: $35-$45 general, $7 kids 7-17 INFO: 963-0761 or www.lobero.com or www.sbchoral.org

MONDAY, APRIL 3 Moving Away from Violence – Erica Ford, the CEO and founder of LIFE Camp (Love Ignites Freedom through Education) and Peace is a Lifestyle, serves as the keynote speaker for Girls Inc. of Carpinteria’s “Women of Inspiration” luncheon this afternoon. Ford grew up in the 1980s during the crack epidemic in the highcrime neighborhood of South Jamaica, Queens, where many of her friends were killed, which inspired her to make a change. These days, she leads hip-hop yoga classes for at-risk youth or meditation sessions and group counseling with Deepak Chopra, and has partnered with artists including the late Tupac Shakur, Russell Simmons, LL Cool J, and others to help further spread the message of reducing violence and creating a better environment for youth. The luncheon will also recognize three honorees with deep roots in community involvement and service as outstanding role models for young women: Nini Seaman, a parent volunteer, local artist, and dedicated Girls Inc. supporter and former board member; Asa Olssen, a local actress who spent 17 years building a unique drama program and performance center at Girls Inc. (and now runs the Plaza Playhouse Theater); and Mericos Foundation, a supporter of Girls Inc.’s Eureka Program. WHEN: 11:30 am to 1:30 pm WHERE: Girls Inc. campus, 5315 Foothill Road, Carpinteria COST: $100 INFO: 684-6364 or www.girlsinc-carp.org NOTE: On Tuesday, April 4, Ford will also co-lead a free-to-the-community, all-ages yoga session with Urban Yogis, the program she co-created that regularly conducts practices in the NYC Public School system, in detention centers, and at the Baisley Pond Park housing project in Queens. Joining Ford are Urban Yogis Juquille Johnston and Raheem Lewis, while Robbie Nova and DJ Magneto provide the music. WHEN: 4:15 pm WHERE: Sunken Gardens, Santa Barbara Courthouse, 100 E. Anapamu St. COST: free INFO: 684-6364 or www.girlsinc-carp.org

Carribbean. Also helping the storefront restaurant/nightclub mark the occasion are DJ Fab, and Capoeira Sul da Bahia, who will offer demonstrations of Capoeira – the Brazilian blend of dance and martial arts. All ages are welcome. WHEN: 9 to 11:59 pm COST: $10 in advance or $12 at the door INFO: 845-7656 or www. brasilartscafe.com Vanishing Point – Kai Tepper, the former executive director of the Arts Fund, teams up with Adam Jahnke to curate the new exhibit at the Arts Fund Gallery featuring photographic work

by Jahnke and other local emerging artists Demi Boelsterli and Cody Lynch. “Vanishing Point” favors the gritty, disposable, and nostalgic beauty of the snapshot as captured by secondhand cameras, embracing the distorted quality of film grain, as well as the once common transitory purpose of the 35mm film still. The exhibition is meant to be aesthetically pluralistic but also focus on images that represent personal beginnings and/or endings to ideas, processes, or ways of life relating to the titles’ conceptual direction of mystery, whimsy, adversity, and fate. WHEN: Reception 5 to 8 pm during the Funk Zone Art Walk; exhibit on display through May 21 WHERE: 205-C Santa Barbara Street COST: free INFO: 9657321 or www.artsfundsb.org

SATURDAY, APRIL 1 Open Streets – Santa Barbara joined the nationwide Open Streets movements a few years ago, sponsoring free fun family-oriented physical activities and cultural events on a two-mile stretch of Cabrillo Boulevard from the Stearns Wharf to the Bird Refuge.

Although popular, the event never really gelled the way it was supposed to, as the location was away from downtown. With State Street merchants unmotivated to close down the main tourist thoroughfare for a whole day, the organization, after a year off, has migrated down the 101 to Carpinteria, which come April 1 will host its first Open Streets. It’s a natural choice, since the new locale allows the event to take place downtown as one mile of streets centered on the main Carp drag Linden Avenue will be closed to cars and open to play, exercise, and performances for a full day. A wide range of activities and participatory events spanning the spectrum from biking, walking, dancing, skating, street hockey, soccer, and chalk drawing to street games, live music, yoga, massage, rock climbing, and much more will be offered by the community for the community. Block parties on 8th and 9th streets will include lawn games, music, food, and community beautification projects. WHEN: 9 am to 5 pm COST:

Enjoy the Non-silence – Normally, we’d be reticent to mention a concert starring a tribute band, not in the least because we could fill up a whole column nearly every issue with such stuff. But STRANGELOVE gets a leg up because they offer “The DEPECHE MODE Experience”, which gets our attention because Martin Gore, Depeche Mode’s actual guitarist-songwriter-singer, lives right here in Montecito. Seeing as he’s over in Europe on tour, it’s not likely we’ll see Gore, who frequently gets involved in local nonprofits, out at the Lobero to catch his Los Angeles-based doppelgänger and brethren offering two sets of music that “deliver a career-spanning, pitch-perfect “best of” concert that transports the listener through time and touches on several key points in Depeche Mode’s illustrious career” replete with several costume changes. But we do know that we can see Gore and the rest of the Depeche Mode-sters back here in his (and our) backyard at the Santa Barbara Bowl on October 2. In the meantime, there’s STRANGELOVE.

Contemporary at Corridan – The Milpas Street gallery has selected three artists who are actively leading the trend toward locals making original abstract art that is proving popular to highlight in the new exhibit “Driven to Abstraction – Energy and Color in Santa Barbara”. Paintings by Cynthia Martin, Kerrie Smith, and Marlene Struss – who each work in unique and highly original styles – will be featured in the five-week show at Corridan, which served as headquarters for the Santa Barbara Studio Artists Tour for many years. Struss specializes in acrylic paintings on board that exhibit energetic passages reacting to one another in original combinations of color and composition. Smith’s paintings capture the rapturous relationships of time, light, and nature though her juxtaposition of dense color layers within an abstract geometric compositional structure. And Martin captures the transformation of the landscape in the real world of Southern California, using fragments to evoke concepts of memory and loss.

MONDAY, APRIL 3 Nash-ing it out – This Path Tonight, Graham Nash’s sixth solo release, which came out last spring, marked his first studio album in 14 years. Written (with producer Shayne Fontaye) during Nash’s separation from his wife after 38 years of marriage, the album is an emotional journey through the legendary singersongwriter and founding member of Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN), self-described as “one of self-discovery, of intense creation, of absolute passion.” The 75-year-old Nash drops by the Lobero tonight on his current tour backed only by Fontayne, and we imagine he will visit many of the songs on Path, but also draw heavily from his other solo output, plus some CSN favorites such as “Teach Your Children” and “Our House” and even a number or two from The Hollies.

Winners of the Man and Woman award Janet Garufis and Jon Clark

Man and Woman of the Year

The Santa Barbara Foundation (SBF), Noozhawk and Montecito Bank & Trust sponsored the 74th Man & Woman of the Year luncheon at the Coral Casino honoring those who have performed extraordinary service and volunteerism in Santa Barbara.

The sold-out crowd chatted on the terrace basking in the springlike weather. Then it was inside for lunch and tributes. Santa Barbara Foundation board chair Jim Morouse welcomed all and introduced SBF president and CEO Ron Gallo. Ron told the crowd, “What a year it has been! But not because of one election.”

Today was to celebrate the two people who are the best of Santa Barbara, Janet Garufis and Jon Clark.

In the video, Janet was called awesome and Jon thought that “humble” was such a cliché but found that it was the only word for the way he felt about the award. Janet said, “There shouldn’t be rewards for doing what I love to do.”

Ron Werft told us that Jon serves on the Cottage Hospital board among many other groups and always wants to know how to make a difference.

Jon was glad they had changed the luncheon format so that the awardees were notified ahead of time and he could prepare a speech. He also thanked the SBF for “regularly shining a light onto the world of the volunteer.” He felt it gives us the ability to come together from varied backgrounds and different perspectives, simply to do good.

Maryan Schall told Michael Towbes that she wanted to award Janet her trophy. He replied, “You can’t. I am.” They decided to flip a coin and she won. As she said, “Janet runs a business (president and CEO of the Montecito Band & Trust), she runs nonprofits, and she runs – marathons that is.” She is indeed a woman of inspiration – another title she has won.

Janet responded with, “Jon set the bar too high. I’ll bring it down a notch.” When asked why she did philanthropy she said, “It feels like the right thing to do. Corporate philan-

still classified 50 years later. Most of the men on the vessel never knew the object of their search. Some of his story is still top secret, so he couldn’t reveal every detail. There have been leaks through the years, and they did find the Russian sub.

Roger and his buddies keep in touch with a reunion every year. For all the story details, check out Roger’s book, Spy Sub. Sponsors for the lecture were Silvio Di Loreto and Santa Barbara County Office of Arts and Culture.

The next event will be Thursday, April 6, called “The Geology of Oil in the Santa Barbara Channel & The Chumash Use of Asphaltum.” It will be a new exhibit opening reception.

Be sure to call early for reservations, (805) 962 8404.

SBMM executive director Greg Gorga wants you to know: “Every child in our community should have the opportunity to experience the thrill of being out on the water, either aboard a tall ship living the life of an 1830s sailor or learning the rich diversity of the Santa Barbara Channel by experiencing local marine life in their natural habitat.”

Santa Barbara Maritime Museum

This was another sold-out lecture from the series that the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (SBMM) has been presenting. The title was “Within the Minds of Submariners: A Cold War Saga Beneath the Pacific on the SPY SUB” and given by one of the heroes of the piece, Roger Dunham. He was here with his book Spy Sub that tells his personal saga and secret mission aboard the nuclear sub the USS Viperfish.

Roger has a varied past from being a college drop-out to being a submariner to becoming a medical doctor where we first met. He’s also a pilot who does Angel Flights. Those are for people needing to get to a medical facility. He has a longtime wife, Keiko, of 48 years who he met in Hawaii when he was in the service.

The mission of the USS Viperfish was to find a lost Soviet sub armed with nuclear missiles in the great depths of the Pacific. After listening to Roger’s hair-raising, near-death experience on a submarine, it’s a wonder he made it out alive. The mission is

That happens with an overnight stay aboard the Spirit of Dana Point, a tall ship – a collaboration with the Ocean Institute of Dana Point and the Stardust. The kids live life as it was when Richard Henry Dana wrote Two Years Before the Mast.

For some, it’s their first night away from home. This costs the SBMM $4,000 per overnight class, so donations are always welcome The twohour cruise aboard the Stardust – a living classroom costs $1,500 per group.

Principal sponsors for these adventures are Roger and Sarah Chrisman.

Ahoy, mates!
