SANTA BARBARA’S NEW CANCER CENTER Patients such as 40-year-old mother of three Emilee Garfeld no longer need to drive to Los Angeles (or further) for sophisticated and up-to-date cancer treatment. Thanks to generous donors Leslie Ridley-Tree, Virgil Elings, Dick and Noelle Wolf, and many others, the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara, headed up by experts such as Dr. Fred Kass, has become a reality (story on p. 28).

Mea Culpa

by James Buckley

Whoops

f you are a golfer, you’ll understand the following: You’ve just hit a terrific drive, nailed it right down the middle, maybe even got 250 yards out of it straightaway... Okay, 235 yards – but hey, this is fiction. You get up to the ball, take out your SkyCaddie and it reads 110 yards to the center of the green. You’re thinking birdie putt. Then, you set up, swing, and top the ball. It goes about 50 yards and buries itself in the high grass, just off the fairway. You end up with a triple bogey. Well, that’s kind of what happened two weeks ago when I wrote a feature article on Ice in Paradise, the beautiful new ice-skating facility in Goleta, just in back of the Camino Real shopping center. The story was supposed to run a week later, but when I noticed that a Paralympic team of athletes were positioned to demonstrate their abilities on the ice and that they were the reigning world champs, we decided to rush the story into print a week earlier. After having written dozens, maybe even hundreds of lead stories and having often been praised for accuracy, I believed it would be no big deal to get the Ice in Paradise story in right away. But... I topped the ball. Firstly, I gave credit to general manager Larry Bruyere for his donation of “one million dollars.” He did no such thing, although after Jack Norqual came up with a million dollars, Larry told me that the other organizers “matched that.” They did, but not with Larry’s money. Ouch. Although Mr. Norqual sits on the USA Hockey Foundation Board, Mr. Bruyere does not. I also referred to Ed Snider, a major benefactor, in the present tense. Mr. Snider passed away a year ago. Larry Bruyere did not bring former Olympian Steve Heinze into the project; Mr. Heinze was already involved when Larry joined the company. Oh, and I misspelled the name of the man who donated the property: Mark Linehan. Lastly, the “Study Center” at Ice in Paradise does not need a name, as benefactors Warren and Mary Lynn Staley already have their names above the door. It is called the “Staley Study Center”. So, let me reiterate: Larry Bruyere was first presented with the concept of bringing Ice skating to the Greater Santa Barbara area while he was general manager of another ice arena. Minnesotan Jack Norqual, the campaign chair of Ice in Paradise, contacted Bruyere several years ago with an outline of how it would be possible to build an ice arena in Goleta. Norqual, who sits on the USA Hockey Foundation Board, provided the initial lead donation to Ice in Paradise to set the fundraising effort in motion. He later got his Montecito neighbor, Ed Snider (owner of the Philadelphia Flyers), interested in donating to the Ice in Paradise campaign. Norqual and Snider were both instrumental in making Ice in Paradise happen. Ultimately, they each donated more than $1 million to the Ice in Paradise campaign. Others were involved as board members of the Greater Santa Barbara Ice Skating Association, including Steve Heinze, former Olympian and member of the Boston Bruins (nine years). Mark Linehan donated the land where the Ice in Paradise now resides. The building (at 6985 Santa Felicia Drive in Goleta) covers 46,500 sq. ft. and has two rinks: one official NHL-sized (the Snider Rink) at 200’ x 85’, and a smaller studio (Norqual Rink) at 100’ x 60’. Mr. Norqual says the facility is still looking for people to donate to the cause and has naming opportunities for major donors. Their names will be prominently displayed on The Donor Wall in the rink lobby. The outside Donor Park features $500 bricks and larger ones at $1,500, where donors can display their names or messages.

Heartfelt Advice for the President

didn’t vote for president Donald Trump. Not being bound to any party, I tried to listen to his message, but in the end I thought his campaign was an insult to the election process and to the American electorate. I should add that Hillary Clinton was not much better and obviously not as effective. But he was elected. Unlike some, I am unwilling to say, ”He is not my president”. Donald Trump is my president and since the election I have genuinely hoped, even rooted, for his success in that office. I have waited for him to champion a cause or pursue a strategy that I could support, something that would allow me to be optimistic about his potential to provide the leadership we so crucially need. Over the course of my life (I am 78 years old), there have been presidents with whom I have strongly disagreed. But those differences have never led me to lose respect for the office of the president. In the present case, I have made a sincere effort to bend over backwards, to give this unique holder of the office the benefit of the doubt. I have tried to separate the substance of what he purports to be his agenda from the Trump personality and style. That is no easy task. His self-serving flamboyance, his lack of manners, his ridiculous hyperbole, and his transparent lack of honesty make it difficult to judge the merits of the programs he advocates. My resolve to acknowledge the seriousness of the concerns that his millions of supporters expressed in their votes for him is constantly under threat as the news cycle reveals another misreading, misrepresenta-

tion, or faulty calculation. I continue to seek and desire to find the upside of this non-politician, pledged to rid us of the ways of Washington, which have proven so inadequate to the challenges we face. I welcome that he has made a convincing case for those who have not shared in the benefits of our economic success as others have. I accept his challenge that I must be more diligent in how and where I access the news. But even those messages have been so impaired and clouded by his egotistical claims of credit for anything positive, his seeming lack of common decency and his finger-pointing when things don’t go his way, it is extremely difficult to find and hold onto the upside. What could my president do to gain my respect and support, support that I am more than willing to voice, given good reason? For starters, I beg you President Trump, to acknowledge that there just might be others whose life work and experience has been devoted to the study and responses to the challenges our country is facing, who could and should be included in the discussion of critical issues. Secondly, please don’t let the hyperbolic promises you made to get elected determine your decisions. The American public is used to empty campaign bombast and, in our cynicism, we understand that the real and complex world of governing this nation may involve compromises and adjustment when implementation becomes the next step. Thirdly, please Mr. President, have someone review your tone-deaf “tweets” before pressing that tab. You are abusing the vehicle that you

(Editor’s note: Thank you for your thoughtful plea. Although I did vote for Mr. Trump and usually respond to criticism of his so-far rocky tenure as a neophyte politician with two observations: 1) “I’m not disappointed in anything he’s done so far,” and 2) “In any case and in every case, he’s better than Hillary.” Other than real skepticism about whether there are any Democrats willing to challenge their party’s leadership to work with the new president [and I don’t include West Virginian Joe Manchin, or North Dakota’s Heidi Heitkamp, who are both “crossing the aisle” with the full support of the Democratic leadership, which fears losing the seats of these Democrat Senators from two really deep-red states], there’s nothing we can disagree with in your earnest plea to President Trump. Our hope here is that more voters such as yourself who did not cast a ballot for Mr. Trump will relent and allow his ideas to be put to the test, but we fear that is simply wishful thinking, as he really does represent an existential threat to many in the Washington establishment. – J.B.)

have correctly described as “a unique way to communicate directly with the American people.” Your current undisciplined practice is losing you credibility and the fragile respect you enjoy here and around the world. Fourthly, your eclectic agenda has smoked out the extremes in each party. You have an opportunity to seek out those reasonable in your own party, as well as across the aisle, to send a message of genuine bipartisanship and common cause that you preach but so far have eschewed. If your inner circle is not making it clear to you that the American people, including millions who voted for you, are sick, tired, and disgusted with the turf wars, the obstructionist tactics, the nastiness of the discourse, then you are not being well served by them. If you don’t hear and act on this, you court the possibility of a rancorous and counter-productive presidency and the rock-bottom approval ratings, which, despite your claims to the contrary, must gnaw at you. Finally, recognize, for what it is, the extreme right wing that was part of the coalition that elected you. Given the bit in their teeth, which you are prone to provide them, they will hijack your goals, increase the national divisiveness, and alienate the struggling Americans who you claim you want to serve. Mr. Trump, you are my president. I want you to succeed. Please give me reason to support your efforts. I don’t always have to agree and I won’t, but I do need to respect and trust my president.

t this month’s Montecito Association (MA) Land Use Committee meeting, the committee further discussed the issue of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), which will be discussed again at next week’s special Montecito Planning Commission (MPC) hearing on Wednesday, April 12. On March 22, the MPC reviewed new ordinance language that reflects new California state legislation that aims to provide additional rental housing in residential areas by superseding restrictive zoning laws. The MPC decided to continue the meeting until next week, to have more time to digest the ordinance amendments. “They voiced a lot of concerns over their scope of discretion regarding the ordinance,” said MA executive director Victoria Greene. The Land Use Committee voted to recommend to the full MA board next week that they send a new letter to the MPC, suggesting that they review

a number of issues regarding the ordinance amendments. The letter suggests that the MPC look further into the issue of floor area maximums, tweak ordinance language regarding existing non-conforming guest houses, require applications for ADUs to be reviewed by the Montecito Board of Architectural Review Board chair (instead of staff review), institute a minimum rental term for an ADU, and require a property owner live on the property. The letter also recommends addressing a potential minimum road clearance requirement, to lessen the impact of cars parking on Montecito streets, and suggested requiring landscape screening and height limits for detached structures. “I believe these issues are well within the scope of what the County can require for the building of ADUs,” Greene said. The MA board will review the letter

LegaL Notice If You Are or Were a Customer of the Montecito Water District, You May be Entitled to a Refund A class action settlement may affect you if you are or were a non-agricultural water customer of the Montecito Water District (“District”) from October 1, 2008 through August 31, 2013. As part of the settlement, the District has agreed to pay refunds for water user fees non-agricultural water customers paid to the District from November 4, 2011 to August 31, 2013, after some District customers alleged such fees were unlawful. If you qualify, you may send in a claim form to ask for settlement payment, do nothing (and receive no payment), exclude yourself from the settlement, or object to the settlement. The Santa Barbara Superior Court has given preliminary approval to this settlement and will have a final hearing on August 8, 2017 to consider whether to approve the settlement, so benefits may be paid. ARE YOU AFFECTED AND/OR ENTITLED TO A REFUND? If you are a current or former non-agricultural customer of the District for any period of time between October 1, 2008 to September 1, 2013, who did not submit an opt-out form in the lawsuit on or before August 12, 2014, you are a “Class Member” and a part of this lawsuit. As such, you may be entitled to a refund. WHAT IS THIS REFUND CASE ABOUT? The lawsuit, Patrick M. Nesbitt et al. v. Montecito Water District, Case No. 1415836, claimed certain water rates the District charged to its non-agricultural customers violated Article XIII D of the California Constitution (referred to as “Proposition 218”). Specifically, the plaintiffs alleged the rates imposed on the District’s non-agricultural customers exceeded the proportional cost of service to provide water to their particular properties and, as a result the District’s non-agricultural customers were, in effect, subsidizing the water costs of the District’s agricultural customers. The Court has determined that the water rates charged to the District’s non-agricultural customers violated Proposition 218, but the Court did not reach a decision on the amount of damages, if any, to be awarded to the Class for this constitutional violation. The District denied and continues to deny that the rates were unlawful, and denies and continues to deny that any refunds are due. The two sides disagree on how much money would be refunded if the case went to trial on the damages owed. Therefore, the settlement is a compromise that avoids costs and risks to both parties from continuing the lawsuit; pays money to qualifying existing and former District customers; and releases the District from certain liabilities, as described in more detail in the Notice on the Settlement website, www.cptgroup.com/Montecito-Water-Settlement. HOW WILL REFUNDS BE CALCULATED? The District has agreed to pay up to $1,862,250 (the “Settlement Fund”) for refund claims for water user fees paid by non-agricultural customers from November 4, 2011 to August 31, 2013. If eligible, you will receive a refund based on the number of claims submitted and paid out of the Settlement Fund. The maximum refund amount you could receive will be based on the difference between the rate you actually paid for water and the rates set forth in the settlement agreement, plus interest, all as calculated and described in the Notice on the Settlement website, www.cptgroup.com/Montecito-Water-Settlement. WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS FOR CLAIMING A REFUND? A current or former District customer must submit a valid claim postmarked by July 5, 2017. The validity of your claim will be verified by the Claims Administrator. A claim form was mailed to all customers on or about April 5, 2017 and may also be printed from the Settlement website, www.cptgroup.com/Montecito-Water-Settlement. Refunds cannot be processed and issued until the preliminary approval of the settlement by the Court is made final. WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS IN THIS SETTLEMENT? You may either: 1) File a claim form and receive a refund after the claim is verified; 2) do nothing (and receive no refund); 3) exclude yourself from the settlement; or, 4) object to the settlement. If you do not want a refund and do not want to be legally bound by the settlement, you must exclude yourself by July 5, 2017, or you won’t be able to sue about the legal claims in this case. If you exclude yourself, you cannot get a refund from this settlement. If you stay in the Class, you may, but are not required to, file written objections to the settlement by July 25, 2017. The Notice on the Settlement website, www.cptgroup.com/Montecito-Water-Settlement, describes how to exclude yourself or object. If you object by the deadline, you must also appear at the hearing on August 8, 2017 at 9:30 a.m. If you do not object to the settlement, you need not appear in Court on August 8, 2017. At the hearing on August 8, 2017, the court will consider whether to issue final approval of the settlement and requested attorneys’ fees and expenses of up to $475,000, to be paid separately by the District and not out of the refund claims. HOW CAN YOU GET MORE INFORMATION?

MAD’S Great Gala

he sign read, “Speakeasy. An evening of Hooch, Vaudeville and Forbidden Fun.” The Multimedia Arts and Design Academy (MAD) held its “The Great Gala” (the roaring ‘20s) at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum. I had never heard of MAD until this event. It’s an old-timer having been around for 20 years at Santa Barbara High School. MAD Academy offers a world-class experience that educates the whole person and inspires students to find their passion while acquiring professional media skills. I spoke with its director, Dan Williams, who has been there for almost all of the 20 years. He told me, “By its second year there were 46 students and only three girls. Today there are 370 enrolled and a long waiting list. Females now outnumber males for the first time in our history. Our goal is to raise $175,000 to replace some very old computers that our students use day in and day out. Creating multimedia projects using current technology is critical so our students can prepare for the real world.” As board president Jerrad Burford said, “We have media professionals teaching in a state-of-the-art facility.” MAD promised the “bees knees” and it was, from start to finish. The flapper era returned with fringe and feathers everywhere. Babcock provided the wine, and The Real McCoy was there with their rum made in Barbados. Olio e Limone laid out a sumptuous buffet. The Honey Taps were there from Los Angeles to tickle our fancy with photo ops. Mary Anne Contreras and her company Swank was the event planner, while actor Billy Baldwin was the evening’s

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.

There was also a large silent auction. The Distinguished Alumni Awards went to Buck Lindelof and Ruwani Horanage. Buck graduated in 2004 and is now an assistance director with acceptance into the Directors Guild of America. Ruwani also graduated in 2004. She then graduated with a degree in cinema and television production from California State University at Northridge and today is working in the industry.

with 150 crowding into the terrace for champagne and the Biltmore Loggia room for the program. Spring had surely come with the pink and orange floral color theme throughout the dining room. Each of the co-chairs, Rena Brawer and Joy Maskart, greeted the audience. Rena reminded us, “It takes a village to put on an affair like this.” Joy said the room was full of “people who care and people who dare.” I love the Women’s Division of the Jewish Federation’s motto: “Helping fulfill the needs of tomorrow, today.” This luncheon was all about philanthropy.

While an independent producer and then chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures, she brought us The Accused, Fatal Attraction, Forrest Gump, Titantic, and more. President of the board of trustees Laini Millar Melnick interviewed Sherry asking, “How do you pick a winner?” Sherry responded, “You need to go with your gut feeling.” The Forrest Gump script had been slumping around Hollywood for 10 years when

Juniper Opens in Montecito

Coast 2 Coast Collection La Arcada Courtyard ~ 1114 State Street, Suite 10 Santa Barbara, CA 93101 ~ Phone: 805.845.7888 www.C2Ccollection.com

Stylist, designer, and business owner Marie Ferris has opened Juniper, a women’s clothing and accessory boutique, in Montecito’s San Ysidro Village. The shop is located in the former home of élu, a handbag, shoe, and accessory store that closed earlier this year. Ferris, while new to Montecito, is no stranger to retail: she founded and operated a successful boutique in Del Mar for more than 16 years before moving up to Montecito to take on a house renovation project. Her well-known Del Mar shop, Matti D, was named after her kids (Matti and Danielle), and became a leading Southern California boutique, known for sophisticated style, careful curation, unique offerings, and personal styling services. Ferris sold the shop in 2016, and once in Montecito, decided to open a new venture, calling it Juniper after hearing a song on the radio. “I knew it was the perfect name for a store!” she told us during a recent visit to the shop. Juniper offers one-of-a-kind jewelry, and designer handbags and belts, as well as an array of contemporary clothing including dresses, denim, leather jackets, woven silk blouses, luxury

Juniper carries soft, romantic styles with an edge, according to owner Marie Ferris

T-shirts, and cashmere sweaters. “I consider our style soft and romantic, yet always with an edge,” Ferris said. “We always do things a little different than expected.” Each piece is carefully curated, and Ferris says she chooses pieces based on design, not designer. “We don’t carry what everyone else has,” she went on to say. A few of the designers she may carry: Elyse Walker, Nour Hammour, and 5 á 7. Juniper carries a mix of domestic and European designer offerings, and Ferris is available for styling for any occasion. “I won’t let two customers wear the same dress to the same event,” she said. The light, airy store is located in one of developer Richard Gunner’s cottages, built to look like a residential home. A sunroom leads to the entrance of the store; Ferris says she may eventually add home goods to be displayed in that room. The space feels welcoming and warm, with a fireplace, fountain, vintage chandeliers, and large windows. Juniper joins other San Ysidro Village businesses Julianne, Country House Antiques, Hogue & Co., House of Honey, Jenni Kayne, William Laman, San Ysidro Pharmacy, Coldwell Banker, and American Riviera Bank. The store is open Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm, and Sundays 11 am to 5 pm. For more information, visit 525 San Ysidro Road, or call (805)

to play for Tom Godspeed, a former ten-goal indoor player.” And it wasn’t just the males walking off with the trophy, given the club’s girls team, with local residents Cory Williams and Mia Sweeney, defeated Maui 8-5 to advance to the nationals at the University of Virginia on April 21. Long may they rein.

Still Standing Montecito actor Rob Lowe joined wife, Sheryl Berkoff, lookalike son, John, 22, and Santa Barbara warbler Katy Perry at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles for British singer Elton John’s 70th birthday bash. Rob, 53, hosted the celebrity-packed bash, which also marked Elton’s 50 year songwriting partnership with Bernie Taupin, 66, who lives in the Santa Ynez Valley. Also attending the pulsating party, which benefitted the Elton John AIDS Foundation, as well as the museum, were Lady Gaga, Heidi Klum, Steve Wonder, Jon Hamm, Ryan Phillippe, Mathew Morrison, fashion dynamo Tom Ford, Neil Patrick Harris, TV talk-show host James Corden, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, former ace racketeer Billie Jean King, and folk singer Joni Mitchell. For Reelz The show that I taped some months back for Reelz TV to mark the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death in Paris is now airing if you care to tune in. The moment was particularly memorable for me as I was on vacation in Dark Harbor, Maine, and first learned of the accident when NBC anchor Tom Brokaw was the first one of innumerable messages asking me to talk about the tragedy on air. In the ensuing six weeks, I flew to Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, appearing on nearly 90 programs for practically every cable and broadcast network. A poignant time I’ll never forget, particularly having met Diana again at Christie’s, the Manhattan auction house, at a celebrity-packed party prior to the legendary sale of her gowns two months earlier, which I covered for CNN and ABC, with live broadcasts from Park Avenue. One for the Book Carpinteria author Melonie Mazman Hayden, a former actress on the soap Days of Our Lives, has just launched her first book, Chekhov in Queens: Stories and Poems. The small work is a compilation of past writings, and she is already planning a follow up in due course. If it’s successful, I quipped at the bijou bash at Tecolote, the lively literary lair in the upper village, she

might call the next book Chekhov in Manhattan, in the hope he might be moving to more salubrious accommodations in due course. Hard to Figure The Santa Barbara actor Paul Walker could be standing tall in San Clemente, the former home of the late president Richard Nixon, thanks to two surfers who have asked the city council for a statue of their hero. The dynamic duo, Tom Allen and Spencer Kalendar, want to honor the 40-year-old Fast and Furious star who was killed in November 2013, when a Porsche he was in with driver Roger Rodas smashed into a light pole in Valencia. “We’re serious about the statue,” says Allen, 26. “We’re big fans of Paul and he’s been an inspirational figure for both of us. “We would really like to see it built. He was always a positive figure. It would be an inspiration to others.” The pair have also approached councils in West Hollywood, Huntington Beach, and Burbank. Stay tuned. Showing Some MOXI Social gridlock reigned when a preview bash was hosted by Los Angeles developer Michael Rosenfeld for his hotly anticipated 121-room Hotel Californian at the MOXI museum, just a tiara’s toss from the Funk Zone and Stearns Wharf. The development on the site of the 1925 hostelry, which was demolished in August 2012, to make way for the La Entrada mixed-use project, is essentially two buildings across from each other – one with 62 rooms and the other with 58 – which will house a 3,000-sq.-ft. ballroom, a Moroccaninspired spa, and a nearby two-bedroom presidential suite.

What’s Cookin’ A record number of 310 gourmands and oenophiles descended on Fess Parker’s DoubleTree for the 118-yearold Family Service Agency’s 3rd annual Cooking Up Dreams event, co-chaired by KEYT-TV weathercaster Meredith Garofalo and PR executive Emily Nordee, which raised more than $100,000. A heavenly host of culinary wizards from 13 eateries, including Peter McNee from Convivo, James Siao from the Finch & Fork, premier caterer Michael Hutchings, Jesus Charco from the FisHouse, Weston Richards of Les Marchands, and Irvin Velex Calderon from the Boat House showed off their wares.

Teens on the Scene

Two weeks ago, we told you about Santa Barbara’s chapter of the National Charity League (NCL), a philanthropic organization with the mission of fostering mother-daughter relationships while both mother and daughter volunteer in the community. Three years ago, another community service organization, Teens on the Scene, was started by a few of the brothers of several NCL girls, who sought to provide a volunteer organization for both boys and girls. The organization was founded by three Montecito kids, Jack Cantin, Zack Werner, and Arman Banan, who were seventh graders at the time. Now, three years later, the group has more than 100 members in four different local high schools, as well as a group of middle schoolers. “This little group started with just a handful of teens and has grown to be a significant part of the Santa Barbara philanthropic community,” said Kim Cantin, a mom of one of the founders. “What I like about it as a parent is that the kids get to see that they, even at their age, can engage and make a difference in our community, and they learn by helping how privileged they are, and they become more aware and grateful human beings.” In addition to the three founders, MUS alumni Ryan Murphy, Mac Sales, and Kai Wilkenson, and Cold Spring alum Hart Tiller, with Santa Barbara kids Julian Bell and Jake Spencer, helped organize the group with its name, logo, and program design of volunteering once per month. The group plans and executes a different volunteer project each month, and supports a variety of programs around town. The kids have volun-

teered at such places as the Special Olympics at UCSB, the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, Path (formerly Casa Esperanza homeless shelter), the Humane Society’s BUNS program, Earth Day, Unity Shoppe, and cleanups at local beaches and parks. “They coordinate events that make volunteering with other teens fun,” Cantin said. Local high schools require a minimum of 60 community service hours to graduate, but teens are encouraged to spend closer to 200 hours volunteering. Teens on the Scene allows teens to get their required community service hours and allows them to experience different organizations and realize different needs that exist in Santa Barbara. “It seems consistent that the afternoon after a volunteer event, my kids are just in better moods, and I think it is because they found it felt good to give back,” Cantin went on to say. For more information, contact Jack Cantin at jackcsbms@gmail.com.

Pilots Unite at Birnam Wood

Last month, 17 veteran pilots, current and former, came together at Birnam Wood Golf Club for a luncheon to bond over stories of flying and catch up on the latest in military and aviation. Coordinated by the Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation (PCVF), the luncheons have been occurring several times a year for more than five years; most of the attendees are local, but one hailed from San Diego. “The group represents a couple hundred thousand hours of flight time, which entailed thousands of boring non-eventful periods interrupted by life-threatening moments of near death,” said lieutenant John “Duke” Blankenship, former U.S.

Navy pilot and co-founder of PCVF. Collectively, the group has flown in every in every conflict from WWII to Iraq and Afghanistan and represents every branch of service. General Bill Begert, who served as commander for the Pacific Air Forces, among many other leading roles in the Air Force, provided the group military briefings and the latest news on the warfront, new weapons, and aircraft. Begert is also a member of the PCVF Board of Directors. Some of those who attended help with the flyovers on Veterans Day weekend in Santa Barbara, which are organized by Michael “Viper” Maloco. The attendees’ experience spans from military flying in World War II, in which attendee Air Force colonel Hugh Dow served, to more recent wars, as well as commercial flying. “There exists a true bond amongst us for how lucky we are to be together to share our stories,” Blankenship told us. Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation is committed to honoring the men and women who have served in U.S. military efforts; the organization does this by supporting veterans and active duty members and related partner organizations, in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, as well as preserving military history and legacy.

In Passing: Dr. Anthony Mulac

(Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Dr. Mulac’s wife, Joanne Larkins.) Tony Mulac was born in Alliance, Ohio, on July 3, 1937. He later moved to Evanston, Illinois, where he attended EvanstonTownship High School and was the recipient of the Snyder Speech Award there for his performances on the debate team. He also sang in the master chorale and was editor-in-chief of his senior yearbook. Dr. Mulac attended Northwestern University Undergraduate School, majoring in speech. While in college, he also sang with the Chicago • The Voice of the Village •

Symphony Orchestra under Margaret Hillis and was the organist and choir director at Church of the Atonement in Chicago. He designed and built a pipe organ from scratch, using only European ranks of pipes. A talented musician in every way, Tony excelled at playing the piano and harpsichord, often in coffee houses in Ann Arbor. He attended University of Michigan Law School, but felt temperamentally unsuited for a career in law and rejected it in favor of a career in communication, where he received a Ph.D. He moved to Santa Barbara to teach at UCSB, publishing pioneer studies in gender differences in communication patterns. During his younger years at UCSB, he was a regular participant in weekly sailboat races, which he frequently won even though sailing in a much smaller boat. He was a professor at UCSB for 34 years. Tony was a gentleman and a scholar. He had a tremendous capacity for love. His quiet intelligence, charm, and wit were qualities which others frequently mentioned, as well as his musicality and knowledge of classical music that he loved. He was a truly loving friend, parent, and partner. I am grateful for what I learned from him and that is about the constancy of love. There was never an unkind word. I never doubted for a moment that he loved me. He had a very positive outlook on life no matter what the circumstance. In such an environment, love can grow and not be afraid. I’m truly blessed to have had Tony in my life. Rest in peace, Tony. You were well loved. Tony was the father of Sabrina Mulac, the stepfather of Lynne Harris Sutherland, and the grandparent of Ava and Wyatt Sutherland. He also leaves behind a sister, Pamela Mulac (George); a brother-in-law Robert Larkin; former wife Torborg Lundell; his wife, Joanne Larkin; and his loving dog, Winston. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 8, at 1 pm at the Santa Barbara Cemetery Chapel on Channel Drive. Reception following; everyone welcome. •MJ 6 – 13 April 2017

To your health

by Bob Hazard Mr. Hazard is an Associate Editor of this paper and a former president of Birnam Wood Golf Club

The New Cancer Center

tatistically, four out of every 10 of you will be diagnosed with invasive cancer in your lifetime. According to the National Cancer Institute, close to 2 million new cases of cancer will be reported in the U.S. this year, as well as 600,000 cancer deaths. That compares with only 11,000 homicide deaths by firearms and 38,000 deaths from car accidents. Persons 65 years and older are the most vulnerable to cancer. An aging population of Baby Boomers born between 1946 and 1964 will account for 60% of all new cancer cases and 70% of all deaths from malignant tumors. The good news is that according to the American Cancer Society, death rates from cancer have been declining for the past two decades, decreasing by 25% between 1991 and 2014, the most recent year for which data is available.

Seeking Treatment

Twenty years ago, the accepted treatment, if one could afford it, was to seek out expert advice at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City; the MD. Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas in Houston; the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota; UCLA Medical Center; Johns Hopkins in Baltimore; or the City of Hope. Today, and more so in September 2017, the need to travel for advice, and treatment will be greatly reduced with the fall opening of the Santa Barbara Cancer Center, a new $68-million cancer facility, offering 21st-century technology for targeting and treating cancer.

The Facilities

Located at 540 West Pueblo Street, adjacent to Mission Creek at the entrance to Santa Barbara’s medical district, the new three-story regional cancer center will offer the California Central Coast’s most advanced multidisciplinary cancer care. Occupying a 3.4-acre campus between West Junipero and West Pueblo streets, the existing main medical building will be replaced with a comprehensive, state-of-the-art 53,407-sq.-ft. cancer center, plus a parking garage for 180 cars. The facility will bring together under one roof the Cancer Center’s entire diagnostic, treatment, and support team, a group of professionals who are currently spread out among three separate medical buildings along the Pueblo medical corridor. A highlight of the new facility will be the addition of two high-definition radiation oncology treatment accelerators, the same devices installed at the MD Anderson Cancer Center and Johns Hopkins Hospital. The cost for these dual accelerators is $5.2 million. In addition to the latest technology, the new Cancer Center will offer patients and their families a spacious healing garden featuring shaded walking paths and points of relaxation among examples of cancer-fighting plants and other beautiful vegetation. Community funding provides what Dr. Fred Kass, Oncology & Hematology, describes as the best of all worlds: “the most advanced technology treatments and wellness programs in a setting still small enough for intensely personal care.” The Cancer Center of Santa Barbara offers its patients nutrition and genetic counseling, yoga, meditation, healing touch, painting classes, support groups, beauty services, and a cancer resource library.

Medical Staff

Ridley-Tree Cancer Center

Funding the construction of the new center in a city the size of Santa Barbara is no easy task, given the number of worthy non-profit charities in this community involved in medical, social service, environmental, cultural, musical, historic, artistic, and recreational activities. To date, some 385 separate donors and volunteers have donated to the Cancer Center project, raising $42 million in private donations toward the funding of this new facility. Leading the list of donors is Leslie Ridley-Tree, who has made a series of gifts totaling $10.73 million. In honor of her efforts, the new facility will be named the Ridley-Tree Cancer Center. More recently, Virgil Elings, another generous benefactor, has stepped forward with a gift of $4 million for the naming of the Elings Oncology Building at Ridley-Tree Cancer Center. The new theater-style Education Center will be named the Wolf Education and Training Center in honor of Dick and Noelle Wolf, through their Wolf Family Foundation. Doctors, nurses, and staff will have a place to convene for research, discovery, and discussion of the latest advances in cancer research. Other significant donors, contributing at least a million dollars each, include Jim and Wendy Drasdo; the Hugh and Hunter Foster family; Judy and Jeff Henley; Morrie and Irma Jurkowitz; Bill and Nancy Kimsey; Shirley and Seymour Lehrer; Lillian Lovelace; Dr. Nancy O’Reilly and daughters Lauren, Leigh, and Ragan; Maryan Schall; Sansum Clinic and Cottage Health. To add your name to this list of community heroes, please contact Dru Hartley at 681-7726 or dhartley@sansumclinic.org, or Rob Dunton at 898-3620 or rdunton@cfsb.org to identify what role you might play. Naming opportunities range from as little as $2,500 to $2 million and are available for as little as $43 per month. •MJ

We are so lucky to have him in our “rarefied enclave,” as he would put it, with his sparkling pun-filled prose, endless scoops, and lively alliteration. Richard truly makes the Journal a world-class read! Alicia St. John Montecito (Editor’s note: We agree. We look forward to his second decade as our prized world-class columnist! – J.B.)

Upside of Trump Presidency

I would like to focus on the positive side of our new president. The stock market is up over 10 percent. The commitment of many companies to invest in our country including G.M., Ford, Hyundai, Bayer A.G., and many others is very encouraging. Japan has said it was going to invest some $50 billion. President Trump’s daughter is now officially in the White House. Ivanka has been a strong advocate for women’s rights and will continue to be there for all women. Illegal border crossings are down some 60 percent. Now, I will mention the negative side. We have about 1,400 days more or less of what (we have become somewhat numb to) of a vile, vulgar

egomaniac who is the only person that did not know how difficult the health-care situation is in this great country. Steve Marko Santa Barbara (Editor’s note: We’re not sure why you believe President Trump doesn’t “know how difficult the health-care situation is in this great country.” We’d appreciate more clarification on the subject if you could find the time to elaborate. – J.B.)

The Russian Connection

For approximately eight months, the Democrats have been peddling a fake news story that President Trump colluded with the Russians during the election. No proof. Why hasn’t anyone looked into the connection between Hillary Clinton and John Podesta with Russia and Putin? According to The New York Times, in April 2015 a deal was reached by Clinton, which enabled Russia to own about 20 percent of the uranium production capacity of the U.S. And what about Podesta, Hillary’s campaign manager? According to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group, Pedestal was on the board of three different companies that had ties to Russia. He also received 100,000 shares of stock

Complications of Health Care

I appreciate that Sanderson Smith (“ObamaCare Lives On,” MJ #23/13) has a problem. He can’t fathom why the GOP majority in the House had seven years of shouting and failed to pass an alternative to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and so he hopes that “responsible Democrats and Republicans… will come together… to generate sensible health care laws for our citizens.” He seems not to have noticed that there are damn few “responsible Republicans” in the House. The speaker certainly isn’t one, though be plays one on TV. The AHCA failed only because the promise of destroying Medicare and knocking more than 20 million Americans off their insurance didn’t go far enough for a substantial minority of the majority, who want absolutely no legal protection for Americans from insurance companies, which are, after all, only trying to make a profit as is their God-given right. If the so-called Freedom Caucus (freedom to go bankrupt? Freedom to expire?) hadn’t objected, the AHCA would have passed the House. But it wasn’t a health bill, or even an insurance bill. The reason the GOP majority rushed to get the AHCA done without considering its implications (some of us, Mr. President, already knew that health care is complicated) was that it would reduce the tax bill of the

richest Americans — at a time when the richest Americans are richer than they have ever been — by billions of dollars, while cutting supporting for insurance by even more, and thus enable the promised “tax reform” further to enrich their donors. No wonder public support for the AHCA polled at 17 percent. Yes, the ACA is very complex legislation, affecting every part of an industry that comprises a large fraction of the American economy, certainly imperfect on passage, and can be improved, reducing premiums, deductibles, and co-pays for the benefit of many millions of Americans. Mr. Smith’s plea is pointless. There’s a deep philosophical divide between Democrats who want to increase affordable coverage and Republicans who want to leave Americans nakedly dependent on the insubstantial mercies of insurance companies and subject to inexorable market forces that would kick the oldest and sickest out of any coverage. Negotiations just can’t happen until some Republicans are elected who actually want a national medical insurance system, who want to make sure the poor and the middle class aren’t left to die so that the rich can have their taxes cut. There’s nobody on that side of the table for Democrats to talk to. Our new Health & Human Services Secretary seems to think he can starve to death the (not actually “failing”) ACA and still somehow blame Obama and the Democrats. I hope he doesn’t succeed, because it will cause a lot of suffering, but I am pretty sure that if he does, we will work hard to make [sure] our clueless President Trump and the feckless Republicans are punished for it. Maybe that’s what it will take to get a national health system we can be proud of, as in Finland or in many successful prosperous countries, where if you’re sick, you get care,

regardless of age, sex, race, income, or national origin. Cotty Chubb Montecito (Editor’s note: Hmmm, according to you, one is either in favor of ObamaCare or is ready to “kick the oldest and sickest out of any coverage.” Thank you for illustrating how easy it will be to reach a consensus with you folks. – J.B.)

Past-Life Regressions

Muscled steed beneath him, an imperious military officer surveys his ample underlings and readies for strike. He barks “charge!”, goads his ride, rockets across a verdant field. The commanding man bears down on enemy troops, raises his musket and aims. But before he can shoot, searing pain attacks his chest; he topples off the horse, writhes. Blood quickly soaks his uniform, turning it even darker red, and within moments he is dead. Or at least his body no longer pulses with life... but the man’s spirit hovers above the battlefield as guns blast, cannons bellow, and more men crumple. He had long considered himself invulnerable and is now shocked to discover his fortunes could change so swiftly... but even more stunned to find that “he” is fine, despite no longer animating a body. In deep hypnosis, this is a scene I described to the past-life regressionist. The British soldier was, ostensibly, me in an incarnation during the Revolutionary War. It was so vivid and detailed, right down to how the warm blood pouring from the wound felt on my skin, that it truly felt as if I died on that battlefield. Peter Wright, the Santa Barbara therapist who has been doing this work for 26 years, hypnotized and guided me on the inner journey, but did not prompt me to any specific lifetime: the scene asserted itself. Some may regard reincarnation as New Age hooey with all the credibility of spam, but countless case studies by people like Brian Weiss, M.D., a former banker who didn’t become a hypnotherapist until he was 45 and who wrote a seminal book on the subject, Many Lives, Many Masters, would argue for its veracity.

There are also scores of YouTube videos that show in convincing fashion people being put under and accessing past lives, sometimes even on other planets and strange realms. Some also claim to meet advanced teachers, guides, dead relatives, and their “higher selves,” the wiser portion of one’s being that remains in spirit when a person incarnates. I’ve always been something of a seeker and even directed a popular documentary about trance spirit channelers, so I was certainly open to the prospects when I contacted Wright to book a session. It’s slightly pricey at $350, but that includes a follow-up to help decipher the meaning of what transpired. During my 90-minute session, we delved into several other matters, including an emotional encounter with my dead father, but no other past lives presented themselves. Dr. Weiss says this isn’t unusual and there is no typical experience. When I came out of hypnosis, I felt buttery repose and satisfied that perhaps I’d accessed something important. But could I simply have been making it all up? Of course that’s possible, but it seemed so real that I have to believe something more was going on than mere imagination. If past lives are real, this suggests that existence is more complex and nuanced than most realize. It also means that as the fleshy corpse turns to worm food, the soul continues on to adventures untold. Based on my regression session and other experiences, I’m intuiting this is actually true. Or, at least it’s pretty to think so. David Thomas Santa Barbara (Editor’s note: Methinks you, and of course Dr. Weiss, are on to something. Though “the fleshy corpse,” indeed “turns to worm food,” if one has passed one’s genes on to a following generation, it seems extremely likely that person’s DNA contains the memory of each of his or her forebears, back perhaps to the beginning of time. On rare occasions, some of us can access that information while still alive, and sometimes at a quite young age. Going forward, the bet is that scientists will one day figure out how to unlock that human file drawer. – J.B.) •MJ

Ensemble Theatre Company has a new director of education, Marcus Giamatti, who will helm the ETC’s new Young Actors Conservatory, designing and launching the program in its inaugural year. “Developing a professional program for students has been one of our long-term goals,” says artistic director Jonathan Fox. “Our new conservatory will offer high school students a unique opportunity to work in a professional theater alongside accomplished theater artists. “Marcus’s extensive experience as an actor and educator is a true asset to this project.” Giamatti is an actor, teacher, acting coach, and graduate of the Yale School of Drama. He founded his own acting studio in Los Angeles and is a master teacher at the Actor’s Green Room in New York and at the Actor’s Key in Hollywood.

He is also a teacher at UCSB, having spent more than 30 years on screen, including the role of Peter Gray on the long-running CBS drama Judging Amy.

Jakobiak recruited an entire production team and bought props from Ellen’s online shop to create a replica of her studio. He then did a 21-minute mock interview with an Ellen lookalike, Beata Skokowska, which has been viewed by more than 1 million people on YouTube. “I look up to Ellen because she has the courage,” says Jakobiak. “That’s why I chose her. I’ve been called a genius and a creep.” One can only wonder what description Ellen, a longtime Montecito resident, might choose.

his birthday only came every 4 years. Since this was the 1880s, his 21st birthday would not be until 1940! Of course, that date then seemed as far in the future as, to us, it now seems in the past. And there is actually some controversy about this whole calculation. But on February 29, 1940 (with World War II already raging), The London Times (so I’ve heard) found space to print an item reporting that “FREDERICK IS 21 TODAY!” The (typically “Gilbertian”) nursemaid’s error and the birthday mix-up are fictitious. But there have been plenty of factual goofs throughout history which are worth our attention. One which immediately comes to mind was the error of Columbus in thinking that he had reached India – a mistake which, after four voyages to the “New World,” he still believed to the end of his life. One consequence of this misconception has been confusion, ever since, about what to call the newly discov-

.......

to the ridiculous, here is an error I discovered that really amused me. It was in a phrase book published in Japan for Japanese visitors to America. You probably know that Japanese people have particular trouble distinguishing the “L” from the “R” sounds in English. I don’t know Japanese, but looking through the English side of these phrase listings, I swear I came upon the following: “Don’t be a little-bug.” This calls to mind “Shibboleth,” a Hebrew word whose meaning in this case doesn’t matter. What matters is the sound, which was easy for one group of Hebrews – the Gileadites – to say, but hard for another group – the Ephraimites – because they spoke a different dialect. So, according to the Old Testament story, when they happened to be at war with each other, this became a way for the Gileadites to tell whether a captured person was friend or foe. So the word “Shibboleth,” though it has acquired other meanings, still basically means any similar device for distinguishing a member of a particular group. But we just can’t leave this subject of memorable mistakes without at least a passing nod to the wrongest newspaper report of all time: The Chicago Tribune’s banner headline the day after the 1948 Presidential election: “DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN.” •MJ

GIRLS INC.

n Gilbert and Sullivan’s delightful operetta, The Pirates of Penzance, the hero, Frederick, is a young man who has become a member of a band of pirates – by mistake. His nursery-maid had been instructed to apprentice him to a pilot (a person whose job it is to come aboard, and guide a ship through unfamiliar waters.) But the wretched woman mistook the word, and so she apprenticed him to a pirate. The confusion does not end there. Under Frederick’s contract, he was to remain an apprentice until he reached the age of 21. He was looking forward to that date, when he could cease being a pirate and instead start chasing them. Naturally, he thought the big day would be when he became 21 years old. But it turns out that the contract said “until his twenty-first birthday.” Normally, this wouldn’t make much difference – but, by an odd chance, Frederick was born on the 29th of February – Leap Year. So

ered peoples. To this day, we’re calling native American peoples “Indians,” leaving no clearly distinguishing term for the natives of India, except perhaps “Indian Indians,” or “East Indians” – which is hardly satisfactory, since we use “West Indians” to apply only to inhabitants of the “West Indies” of the Caribbean region. But my favorite flub of all time was one which disappointed and confused a whole expectant world. For months before the first moon landing on July 20, 1969, there had been rampant speculation and debate as to what would or should be the first words uttered in that place on that unique occasion. The honor and responsibility fell to astronaut Neil Armstrong. What he had decided to say was: “That’s one small step for a man – one giant leap for Mankind.” He may actually have said exactly that – but what millions of listeners and viewers all over the world (including yours truly) heard, or thought they heard, had a small but important word missing: the “a” before “man,” – making the two parts of the statement sound redundant and almost meaningless. This snafu was later claimed to have been a failure, not in delivery, but in transmission – but it still spoiled a priceless moment in human history. If we may descend from the sublime

36 MONTECITO JOURNAL

by Steven Libowitz

inger David Childs was enmeshed in theater and music growing up in Santa Barbara, all the way up through his years at San Marcos High, where the Madrigals helped shape his singing. But ever since he left to study opera and classical voice at UCLA five years ago, he’s barely had time for visits home, let alone performances in town. Childs graduated last June and has been singing around Los Angeles both with his band, We The Folk, and as a freelance musician, most recently in “Lost in the Stars”, a Kurt Weill revue at Royce Hall, with the L.A. Chamber Orchestra. He also regularly sings in the Verdi Chorus in Santa Monica and at the Sanai Temple in Los Angeles. He’s planning on furthering his studies this summer, when he’s headed to the prestigious Aspen Music Festival to learn alongside some of the top young musicians from around the country and the world. But unlike the Music Academy of the West, the local summer festival, Aspen doesn’t underwrite all the costs for its participants, and Childs needed to raise some funds, he said.

Childs play feels right at home: David Childs returns for a concert Sunday

He could have gone with a Kickstarter campaign, but he didn’t want to just ask for money with nothing in return, he said. So instead, he’s going to sing for his supper – or more accurately to supplement his partial scholarship to for Colorado this summer. The solo recital of voice and

piano, where Childs will be accompanied by Nicholas Carlozzi, a former classmate from UCLA, represents his first solo performance in Santa Barbara – or anywhere outside of school for that matter. “At school, there are rules to follow and language requirements,” he said. “Here I can do anything I want to sing. It’s liberating, a real opportunity to create my own program and sing my favorite songs. I’ve wanted to do it ever since graduating from high school.” Childs’s concert is dubbed Songs That Make Me Feel at Home, meant to be just that – a program of material dear to his heart and his childhood. The repertoire is a mix of American show tunes (by Bernstein and Rodgers & Hammerstein, among others), songs in Yiddish, Hebrew, and French, and others, including cantorial duets featuring his father, Mark Childs, the longtime cantor of Congregation B’nai B’rith. Childs will even accompany himself on accordion for some of the tunes.

6 – 13 April 2017

“They’re all songs that are part of my heritage and my upbringing,” Childs explained. “All of the music is from early to mid-20th century. I’m realizing that’s the music I like to sing most.” “Soliloquy” from Carousel is one of his favorites, Childs said. “It’s a big emotional journey of the main character as he contemplates being a father. For some reason, I identify with the song, with his confusion about changes in life. It’s a very human condition.” “Lonely Town” from Bernstein’s On the Town, also finds the protagonist experiencing discomfort as he faces a new city. “I understand that feeling,” Childs explained. “It can be lonely in the city even though you’re surrounded by so many people. It’s one of the reasons I like to come home to Santa Barbara.” The concert, which takes place Sunday afternoon at 2 and is followed by a reception, won’t be at the Childs family home, but instead at Congregation B’nai B’rith, where Childs said he grew up listening to his father sing. “His love of music affected me deeply, and the music he loves also happens to be what I love, with some differences in taste. He’s a huge nerd for cantorial-style singing, and I guess am too.” Admission to Childs’s recital is free, but donations are more than welcome, with proceeds to be split between his trip to Aspen and the CBB music program. But music lovers should feel free to come even if you can’t contribute, Childs said. “It’s gratifying for me just to have people listen to me sing music that I like. It’s a chance for me to be heard.” Visit www.facebook. com/events

Mortality and Muses: 5Qs with Luis Muñoz

Costa Rican-born composer, arranger, producer, and percussionist Luis Muñoz has been in Santa Barbara for almost 45 years, and started making albums domestically since the mid1980s. But the past three years have brought lots of changes for Munoz, including working with a trio featuring Daniel Zimmerman on guitars and Brendan Statom on acoustic bass, plus trumpeter Jonathan Dane. The groups have gigged around town and around the country, playing Muñoz’s original works that range from ballads to postbop to inventive Latin jazz, alongside the occasional standard. This month, Muñoz releases The Dead Man, his first recording with the local outfits, celebrating the new album with a full two-set show at SOhO on Saturday, April 8, starting at 6 pm. We caught up with him to find out more about the new work. Q. Your new album is called The Dead 6 – 13 April 2017

on Sunday we did another three-hour session with (the trumpeter). It came together really fast. Sometimes when the red light goes on, you don’t flow as smoothly as you want. But this time, that wasn’t an issue. You have been much more prolific in recent years with albums. What changed? I’m 63 and I am finding myself on the most creative path of my life. I have another vocal record almost done, with Lois Mahalia singing all in English. I finished writing for yet another vocal record we will do in Spanish. And I already have plans to do another record with pianist Adam Asarnow, who will do solo recordings of some of my compositions. I don’t know what’s going on, but at this point in my career I’m sure going to take advantageous of the muse while it makes its presence known. The music is there. So I’m going to record it and put it out. If I sell 100 or 10,000 it doesn’t matter. I enjoy the process.

Classical Corner Luis Muñoz performs at SOhO on Saturday night

Man, a curious title for a jazz record. What was the influence? A. It comes from a very short story by Uruguayan author Horacio Quiroga about a country guy who just works on his field. Every day at the same hour, his young boy comes and brings him lunch in the fields. One day while he’s working with a machete, he hears the boy whistling in the distance, and stops chopping and starts to cross the fence, but he trips. The blade cuts him, and even though he hears the boy, and the birds, the ants crawling on his hand, he realizes he’s a dead man, with only a few seconds left. But he’s at peace with himself and lets go, and approaches death with an open heart. It’s a beautifully written piece about our own mortality. Why did this strike you enough to write a song? I had open-heart surgery as a little boy, which was almost a blessing in disguise because it taught me to live in the present and to engage in the moment at all times. Most kids aren’t aware of death, and just play, but it makes you live differently, savor

every second of every day to the fullest. The album is also about that. “The Dead Man” is a beautiful song. How does it reflect those thoughts? It’s not a literal interpretation of the narrative. I just wanted to create a groove and the mood, the emotional aspect, that were inspired by the story. It lit a spark in me, and brought on the desire to write something. This is what came out. I’ve been lucky in that sometimes I dream music in its totality, end to end, with the melody, chord structures, harmony, everything. But like with this one, usually a song starts with just a little idea that lives in your heart and you have to develop it. Why did you choose to record the album live in the studio? My current trio and quartet have been playing together for a while and I wanted a recording that would reproduce and document the live sound of the band, and symbolize where I am musically at the time. We just went into the studio on a Saturday night, played for three hours as a trio, and

Portland, Oregon, was allegedly named by a coin flip

With the arrival of April, we’re getting showered with classical concerts, including some truly impressive entries as the season begins to wind down. Mezzo-soprano Susan Graham kicks things off with a CAMAsponsored recital at 8 pm on Thursday at the Lobero titled “A Woman’s Love and Life”. The Grammy-winning Graham, who was been honored as Musical America’s Vocalist of the Year in 2004, is taking on an exceptionally fascinating program of songs in seven languages, using Robert Schumann’s “Frauenliebe und -leben” (which gave the program its name) as a point of departure for a deep dive into two centuries of similar art songs. Accompanied by pianist Malcolm Martineau, Graham will perform selections from Schumann’s iconic song cycle, as well as works inspired by or related to the seductive set from composers Edvard Grieg, Richard Strauss,

Music at the Museum, Times Two

Graham goers may want to preview the show with the free vocal offerings in the Santa Barbara Museum of Art special Pop-Up Opera program at 5:30 on Thursday, when members of Opera Santa Barbara’s (OSB) Mosher Studio Artist program sing Puccini arias and duets in the galleries as part of 1st Thursday. Touching on La Boheme, Madame Butterfly, and Tosca, the song set also serves as a preview of OSB’s upcoming production of Puccini’s La Rondine. Two hours later, the Catalyst Quartet, which was hailed by The New York Times at their Carnegie Hall debut as “invariably energetic and finely burnished… playing with earthy vigor,” returns to the museum’s Mary Craig Auditorium. Comprised of alumni of the internationally acclaimed Sphinx Competition, member violinist Karla Donehew-Perez, violist Paul Laraia, and cellist Karlos Rodriquez will be joined by violinist Suliman Tekalli, a top prize winner at the Seoul International Music Competition and the Blount National String Competition. Their program will include Bachianas Brasileiras 5 by Villa-Lobos, Vega, Angel Suite by Piazzolla, and String Quartet No. 2 by Ginastera.

Silence, Screams, and Strings

Camerata Pacifica, the always adventurous chamber music ensemble that has grown over a quarter-century from a single concert in Santa Barbara to four performances each month across Southern California, offers perhaps its most politically provocative program in its history on Friday night at Hahn Hall. The three American composers are represented by strongly themed pieces, beginning with John Harbison, whose String Trio commissioned by Camerata Pacifica was recently premiered. Harbison’s Abu Ghraib, a prayerful reflection on a brutal event from the war in Iraq, will be performed by principal cellist Ani Aznavoorian with pianist Molly Morkoski. Michael Daugherty digs into other controversial eras in American history with two works for string quartet and pre-recorded sound: Sing Sing: J. Edgar Hoover, which includes historical recordings of Hoover, and Paul Robeson Told Me, an homage to the great African-American tenor and

activist. Aznavoorian is joined by principal violinist Kristin Lee and violist Richard Yongjae O’Neill, and visiting violinist Giora Schmidt for the pieces. John Cage’s (in)famous 4’33”, also “performed” by the same quartet (the musicians don’t play their instrument during the entire duration of the piece), avoids traditional politics but indeed marks a significant point in both the composer’s output and the history of American experimentalism. Finally, the post-intermission performance of Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 8 in E minor, Op 59, No. 2, “Razumovsky”, while representing a respite from the first half, comes from the era when he not only changed the direction of classical music but only changed the dedication of the Eroica symphony after Napoleon Bonaparte declared himself Emperor of France.

Free at the Faulkner

Santa Barbara Music Club free concerts are generally only an hour long, but Saturday afternoon’s selection still offer a lot of range. The Westmont Chamber Singers start off the concert – at 3 pm at the Faulkner Gallery of the Santa Barbara Public Library – by singing “The Morning Trumpet”, a recent arrangement by Howard Helvey of an American folk revival hymn, and Mia benigna fortuna (My kindly fate), a 16th-century Italian madrigal by Cipriano de Rore. Oboist Adelle Rodkey and pianist Renée Hamaty are next up, performing the vivace movement of Johann Wenzel Kalliwoda’s Concertino in F major, Op. 110. Pianist Eric Valinsky, who also performed last month, will play Alban Berg’s Piano Sonata, Op. 1 before mezzo-soprano Leslie Cook and pianist John Ballerino collaborate on a set of six songs by Brahms.

Coachella Connections

The massive music festival down in the desert near Palm Springs benefits even those who don’t like to travel out of town, as many of the bands drop by our local venues while they’re in the area. That usually takes place between the two Coachella weekends – this year that’s April 14-23 – but sometimes we get them on their way to the festival. Such is the case with The Head & the Heart, the Seattle-born indie folk act founded by singer-songwriters Josiah Johnson and Jonathan Russell. Now based in Southern California (so maybe Coachella has nothing to do with this show), the band is touring behind their third full-length album, Signs of Life, their first on Warner Brothers after two on Seattle-based Sub Pop, which came out last September. Dreamers open the show Saturday night at the Arlington.

Radiohead – who headline Fridays at the festival (April 14 & 21) – are playing the Santa Barbara Bowl on Tuesday, one of just nine other stops on their spring tour, which supports their latest album, last year’s A Moon Shaped Pool. Reviewers are tripping all over their adjectives raving about the early dates, as Spin spoke of being in awe of the “epileptic psychedelia of their stage presence” and the band’s ability to “speak to the beautiful loneliness of modern monotony.” Fanfueled clips are all over YouTube. Hip-hop hero Travis Scott, who has just two actual albums to his name (2015’s Rodeo and last year’s Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight) but was nominated for a Grammy for his guest shot on Justin Bieber’s Purpose, hits the Bowl on Wednesday night on his way down to Coachella, where he’s part of the undercard.

Festival Focus

Santa Barbara doesn’t have anything to rival the mass appeal of Coachella, but there are plenty of niche events nearby over the weekend. Lucidity winds up its initial six-year cycle with Eudamonia, a truly eclectic mix of art, music, dance, healing, and community building Friday through Sunday up at the Live Oak Campground (www.2017.lucidityfestival.com). Deadheads get to relive their glory days at The Skull and Roses Festival in Ventura, which also takes place April 7-9. The 36-band “Deadstravaganza” is headlined by Melvin Seals and the JGB (a.k.a. the Jerry Garcia Band), the latter offering “Live Dead ’69,” which features ex-members of the Grateful Dead and associated bands. It takes place at the Ventura County Fairgrounds and also features camping for festival-goers. (www.skullan drosesfestival.com).

Kidney Connection

Going in Style, the new film about lifelong buddies Willie (Morgan Freeman), Joe (Michael Caine), and Al (Alan Arkin) facing retirement without pensions and who decide to knock off the bank that absconded with their funds, is officially a comedy, but kidney disease – which affects one of the characters – is no joke. Montecitodwelling actor Billy Baldwin will moderate a panel discussion about the disease, organ transplantation, and living-organ donation following a benefit screening of the film on Thursday, April 6, at Paseo Nuevo Cinemas. Panelists include transplant recipient Metropolitan Theatres CEO Bruce Corwin, who suffered from the disease before receiving a living kidney donation from his son, Metro president David Corwin, who will also be present; author Gwyn Lurie, whose grandfather was on dialysis and died from kidney failure; and Cottage Hospital nephrologist Dr. Darol Joseff, a kidney specialist. The movie screens at 7 pm following an hour-long wine reception. Tickets are $25 and available online at http:// bit.ly/2nmsrJf. All proceeds benefit National Kidney Foundation. Going in Style opens officially the next day.

6 – 13 April 2017

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.

Goddess Gathering

agan Thomson’s next Awaken the Goddess Within Gathering takes place at the Montecito mansion she shares with husband Alex on Saturday afternoon, April 8. The 3:30 to 9:30 pm event is a mini retreat for all women’s souls, an opportunity to honor yourself and receive the gifts that come from learning to lead in your feminine essence. Participants will spend time in ceremony, as well as celebrate through prayer, meditation, visioning, music, and dance. The intended result of the six-hour gathering is to create more ease and grace in all areas of life. The fee is $75, and reservations are a must by calling 453-7281 or visiting www. joyticity.com. Not available this weekend? The next Goddess Gathering is slated for July 15. Along with her mother, Nancy D. O’Reilly, Psy.D., Thomson also hosts an Awaken and Empower the Feminine Network Gathering from 6 to 9 pm on May 4. Attendees will experience a deep connection with other women, learn how to truly awaken leading from feminine essence, share your gifts with other women, and discover how becoming an empowered woman creates possibilities for creating the life of your dreams. Fee: $50.

Shakti Seminar

Have you ever wondered how your life would be different if you had been initiated into your feminine sexuality

through a ceremony of women? How about if you had cultivated your own relationship with Shakti, your sexual energy, before sharing her with others, and perhaps learned to value and trust your deep feminine wisdom? Lisa Citore, the Santa Barbarabased performance artist, writer, sex educator, healer, and “pleasure activist” who has been leading sacred sexuality workshops with men and women for almost 15 years, leads Turn on Your Shakti: Temple Priestess Practices, Meditations and Rituals from 7 to 9 pm Wednesday, April 12, at Yoga Soup. The two-hour event will explore sacral embodiment practices and meditations for healing the feminine pain body, awakening the pleasure body, expanding sensual and emotional intelligence, and activating divine feminine mission. The intent is for each participant to begin to step into right life purpose, direction, livelihood, and relationship. Fee is $20. Visit www.yogasoup.com/category/ events for details or to register.

Cuddling with Gender Compatriots

The Santa Barbara Cuddle Connection is also focusing on females this month, as the gathering slated for April 22 is for women only. All ladies are invited to bathe in giving and receiving different types of platonic, female touch following an introductory segment that sets the parameters.

Feel free to bring items you wish to use in your connections and encounters, such as hair brushes, scarves, oils, and more. The special cuddle, slated for 6:30 to 9:30 pm on Saturday, April 22, at Santa Barbara Body Therapy Institute, 516 N. Quarantina Street, is complimentary in honor of Cuddle Connection founder Amber York’s birthday in April. Visit www.meetup. com/Cuddle-and-Connection-SantaBarbara for more details or to RSVP.

What the World Needs Now…

Surely, as Jackie DeShannon sang back in 1965, it’s still love, sweet love. In a similar vein, this weekend Mahakankala Buddhist Center also offers The Blessing Empowerment of Green Tara. The Buddhist blessing ritual and guided meditation is a practice to forge a deep connection with Buddha’s enlightened mind, thereby bringing peace, hope, and happiness to ourselves and others. Arya Tara is the female Buddha of wisdom and active compassion whose green-colored body symbolizes that she is the fully purified wind element and can respond swiftly to the prayers of those in need. Practitioners – both male and female – often turn to Buddha Tara whenever they need protection from anxiety, fear, or depression. Also known as “liberator from all misfortune,” she is a powerful object of refuge for our troubled world. Keli Vaughan, resident teacher at Mahakankala, grants the blessing and gives teachings on how to rely upon Tara in daily life at a one-day event that takes place 10:30 am to 5:30 pm on Saturday at the center, located at 508 Brinkerhoff Avenue. Vaughan is a close disciple of venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, who has

studied and practiced Kadampa Buddhism since 1995. Call 563-6000 or visit www.MeditationInSantaBarbara. org.

Hike & Meditate

The Art of Living Meetup, which hosts the ongoing Meditation and Happiness gatherings weekly at both the Montecito (noon on Fridays) and Goleta libraries (5 pm Mondays), is going mobile. The Hike and Meditate event, slated for this Saturday at 8 am, calls for participants to hike the popular Tunnel Trail together on the short jaunt to Inspiration Point. Then the group plans to meditate at the top, which offers spectacular views of the city and Pacific Ocean below, which surely will help feel a sense of wonder and gratitude. Meet at the intersection of Tunnel and Mission roads. Visit www.meetup.com/ SantaBarbaraMeditates to RSVP, and check out www.santabarbarahikes. com/hikes/frontcountry for details about the hike and directions to the trail. •MJ

The pair are headed our way, and bringing along more than three tons of their toys, tools, and terrifyingly mind-blowing demonstrations for an appearance at the Arlington Theatre. Their Brain Candy Live “celebration of curiosity” is an interactive, hands-on (and mindsturned-on) theatrical experience that has been described as “a cross between TED Talks and the Blue Man Group – meaning it tickles both the intellect and the funny bone.

Rather than touring with the string, brass, and other auxiliary musicians that have been a hallmark of the band’s live performances the past decade, Sigur Rós is hitting the stage as a trio. But they’re continuing the tradition of touring without a support act, instead performing two career spanning sets separated by an intermission and offering vibrant visuals, designed by the same team behind their previous Knights of Illumination award-winning tour.

Founded in 1985 by hula master Patrick Makuakāne, who still runs Na Lei Hulu I Ka Wekiu more than three decades later, the nationally treasured ensemble’s dancers display their distinctive style that both preserves the captivating movements of their ancestors danced to music from the islands while evolving through new expression in dancing to more modern sounds, including opera, electronic, dance, alternative, and pop. The evening is actually something of a three-fer for fans of Hawaiian arts, as the show also features Masters of Hawaiian Music, comprising Grammy Award-winning slack key guitar specialist George Kahumoku, Jr., and multi-instrumentalists Nathan Aweau and Kawika Kahiapo.

At the end of the 24 hours, each group will perform their newly created production for an audience largely consisting of the other participants. The event gives seasoned artists a chance to challenge themselves by expanding their skill set into areas they might not be familiar with while also affording budding writers, directors, and actors a chance to learn and grow alongside more experienced artists, in a safe and fun space.

But Krieger comes by it honestly – he wrote or co-wrote many of The Doors’s songs, including the hits “Light My Fire”, “Love Me Two Times”, “Touch Me”, and “Love Her Madly” – so if at 71 he’s happy carrying on the legacy, whose to deny him?

SUNDAY, APRIL 9 Slipper-y Slope – Peter Pan isn’t the only classic fairytale receiving the balletic treatment this weekend. State Street Ballet, Santa Barbara’s largest professional company, revives its production of Cinderella, which premiered back in 2004 before touring nationally. This light-hearted retelling of the story features music by Sergei Prokofiev and choreography by State Street artistic director Rodney Gustafson, who has some fun with the storybook characters. All of them are brought to life in by ballet, including the beautiful Cinderella, her evil stepsisters (actually male dancers costumed in hoop skirts), the handsome prince, and the guests at his ball. The production features opulent sets, digital animation, and period-perfect costumes to augment the theatricality of the popular piece. Following the performance, a “Royal Reception” for children and their families will be hosted by Cinderella and her cast of characters at a party offering crafts, refreshments, and photo opportunities with Cinderella.

TUESDAY, APRIL 11 Icon in the House – It was fewer than two years ago that folk hero Arlo Guthrie visited the Lobero Theatre with his Alice’s Restaurant 50th Anniversary Tour, a night during which he performed his famed opus to friends, family, protests, and garbage in its entirety, and also welcomed his daughter, Sara Lee, onstage for a stirring opening set that featured her kids (a.k.a. Woody’s great granddaughters) in a cameo. So it might seem anticlimactic to see him again in such short order, especially considering that Arlo is a road warrior, endlessly touring the country and beyond. But in his Running Down The Road show, Guthrie celebrates not only his life in motion in what is being called “a flashback-inducing, mind-expanding adventure,” but also the reunion of Shenandoah, his onetime frequent country music backup band, for the first time in 30 years. That should give lines such as “I don’t want a pickle” an extra bit of twang. WHEN: 8 pm WHERE: Lobero Theatre, 33 E. Canon Perdido St. COST: $54 & $64 INFO: 963-0761 or www.lobero.com

“Singing in the rain, just singing in the rain.” Some performer may just be doing that on the Lobero stage if the Lobero Theatre Associates don’t get funds to “Raise the Roof.” As one of the members told me, “When it rains, water comes in the corner, over there.” The annual Hats Off luncheon is usually held at the Biltmore with a guest speaker.

Instead of getting another speaker for the luncheon, the group decided to have a cocktail party on the stage of the Lobero to “Raise the Roof” and dedicate it to Alan. The stage was decorated with a dozen open umbrellas hanging from the ceiling over our heads. The David Grossman Trio was playing, and C’est Cheese had laid out a bounteous spread of hors d’oeuvres.

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.

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

48 MONTECITO JOURNAL

(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

â&#x20AC;˘ The Voice of the Village â&#x20AC;˘

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. Any contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended. 13. The contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of these specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8. 14. The contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the Government, and to keep records. Records shall at least include for each employee, the name, address, telephone number, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic, apprentice, trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed.
