Reborn on the 4th of July

A

record number of Montecito residents are expected to turn out for the 20th Village 4th of July Celebration, starting with pancakes at the firehouse (beginning at 7:30 am), followed by the parade (11:30 am), followed by the traditional picnic in the park with fun and games, hot dogs and chicken, and lots of good old-fashioned fun and fellowship.

Get past King George III (MJ’s reigning gossip mogul), Uncle Sam, the Boy Scouts, the flag, those dressed in red, white, and blue, and the fireworks. What is it about this holiday that has lighted the lamp of liberty, every year for the last 239 years?

Building

Peace of

Mind

What is the Meaning of the 4th of July?

In and around July 4th, 1776, 56 men from 13 colonies, ranging in age from the youngest at 26 (Edward Rutledge of South Carolina), to the oldest at 70 (Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania), agreed to sign the Declaration of Independence, written by the remarkable Thomas Jefferson in just three days.

These patriots, ambitious men of property, with everything to lose and nothing to gain, solemnly pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, to the cause of independence from Great Britain. The penalty for signing the Declaration would be death by hanging for such an act of treason. Many signers paid the penalty, losing their lives, their property, and their honor in The American Revolution. It took seven years of fighting until 1781 to win the war, and two more years until 1783 when the Treaty of Paris was signed, to acknowledge America as an independent nation.

What was Their Unique Gift to the World?

The common goal of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence was the cause of liberty – “We hold these rights to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Teaching Kids and Grandkids

The message to those of us living today is short and simple. Yes, celebrate and enjoy the fireworks, but find the courage to stand up and make a difference in your community, your state, and your nation. Deepen your patriotism by leaving your comfort zone. Volunteer. Work for a nonprofit. Get involved in a charity. Mentor a disadvantaged youth. Send a poor kid to college. Write a letter to your local newspaper. Be a doer, not a watcher. How many of life’s choices do you want to see settled by majority rule? The kind of car you drive? Your choice of doctor? Your choice of school? What food can you eat? How much water can you use?

Our country is like one big family. Every member must do his or her part, or we cannot achieve greatness for ourselves or our fellow citizens. No message is more important than the gospel of hard work. Get off your iPhone or your iPad or your iPod. Our best chance for success as a nation is to get off our butts and build a better society, one brick at a time. Sweat is the essential fertilizer of civilization.

What Makes A Nation Great?

The United States is indeed a land of opportunity, where men are supposed to be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

The heart of the American character was carved out of the courage of the 56 men who boldly signed the Declaration of Independence. They realized that the best government was one that governed least. People of courage and integrity believed that government should stay out of their way but encourage each citizen to reach his or her full potential. Bedrock values include fewer regulations and more free choice. The founders sought greater innovation, more individual initiative, abundant self-reliance, and considerable personal responsibility.

There was an innate optimism that life would somehow always be better going forward.

As we celebrate this holiday, plan to do more than picnic, parade, or barbecue.

Reaffirm your commitment to liberty and freedom that our fathers and forefathers fought and died for.

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

erendipity works in the most mysterious of ways.

For years Ernesto Revilla, the 37-year-old manager of Pierre Lafond’s Wine Bistro, had been suffering from deteriorating sight in his left eye, to the extent he couldn’t even read wine labels at the popular upper

village eatery.

An ophthalmologist diagnosed the painful problem, which caused his eye to tear almost constantly, as keratoconus, in which the cornea becomes cone-shaped rather than domed

Before vaccines, outbreaks of diseases like measles, polio and whooping cough created fear in parents striving to keep their children healthy and safe.

Today, vaccine refusal is reawakening these preventable, still-deadly diseases.

Unvaccinated children endanger newborns, pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems, vaccinated children who did not get a full response to vaccines, and even themselves.

A vaccinated community is a healthy community.

A 95-percent vaccination rate will prevent outbreaks and keep our children breaking out in things they should, like dancing.

Instant Gratification

E

ucalyptus trees can make great firewood, although agreed they are invasive weeds (“Selfish and Irresponsible” Editor’s note, MJ #21/25). Trout in the streams is an honorable quest. Non-point fertilizer and pesticide runoff from large watering routines exacerbated by new exotic desalinated sources will continue killing the local streams. Thousandgallon, non-permitted water holding tanks and odd-hour estate water tanker deliveries into discreetly placed curbside spigots are also not a solution, even though winked and nodded through by the powers that be.

Remember the days of virtual water meter lockdown, growth did not press so hard then, neither did traffic. The city and county tax coffers did not have such a high burn rate then, either.

Perhaps there is a connection to be made: more water, more growth, more property tax revenue. Numbers, costs, metrics, have been zeroed in for rationalizing increased water use.

Prematurely, and not really in a true crisis, our local government feels obliged to leap directly to the extreme last-resort measure of desalination.

Conservation gets some lip service but no serious traction.

More consideration must be addressed to the serious companion products from desalination beside the acre-feet of fresh water. The energy needed to build and run the plant will come from a variety of sources, namely fossil fuels and nuclear power, both significant contributors to greenhouse gases and toxic waste. The cost for the power to run the plant will not be going down; contrarily, as soon as the shale boom busts costs will be soaring, do not ignore this fact. The leftover so-called brine must be handled and disposed of. Of course, it is salty but also elements such as heavy metals, pesticides, and other toxins are also unnaturally concentrated within it, similar to the once-buried bitumen or yellow cake of Alberta and Manitoba that is now in humanity’s lap. Will this effluent be pumped back into our coastal environment to create who knows what effect, or trucked or piped to a holding pond somewhere out of sight, though still taking up space and in need of constant longterm management?

Children love instant gratification and easy silly fun, mature adults are more likely to take a longer-term and more sustainable approach to their

activities. Children don’t really care to take a serious look at all of the details their activities entail, as long as they get pleasant short-term results. Then it’s time to go to bed; the adults stay up and deal with the rest of the story.

If there is something that really needs to be done they do it, economically, practically. If the amount of political and financial energy that is being put into desalination was put into conservation monitoring and enforcement, our whole region would be more representative of what it really is, a pleasantly arid, Mediterranean-like seaside and mountainous wonderland with live healthy streams.

As mentioned in your comment, records show a clear succession of three- to four-year droughts; that’s how it is here and likely will continue to be. This drought will pass. Our local government is inappropriately overreacting by going pedal to the metal on desalination. This enthusiasm would be better-suited focused toward water conservation and reuse along with enforcement of existing laws. Desalination plants operating in other areas are no justification to doing so here, we can do better than that – this is Santa Barbara.

William Dentzel Summerland (Editor’s note: Thank you again for your letter; this is a discussion worth having. You are right to be concerned, as the one most undesirable effect of a desalination plant could be the over-construction of multi-family homes and buildings, so caution is called for. However, simply looking back at how those who’ve come before dealt with the lack of a secure water supply leads to the conclusion that, had desalination been an option a hundred years ago, it would have been the option of choice. And, with desalination in place, the idea of damming the Santa Ynez River to create Jameson Lake would be opposed as an ecological disaster. Discussion and consideration of the pros and cons of desalination does need to continue, but we’re opting for desal as a preferred route to water security. Recycling and re-using what water we do manage to husband is, of course, also a priority. – J.B.)

They Are Legal

of the Eucalyptus Hill Improvement Association (EHIA) are polled at our annual meetings, and the number-one issue is speeding and traffic. We formed a “traffic committee” to help address these issues in cooperation with the city.

The blue “Please Respect” signs below the speed limit signs (referred to in Mr. Funk’s letter) were one result.

We also worked with the city on the re-striping and vertical barriers placed at the Barker Pass & Eucalyptus Hill Road intersection, speed monitoring with police presence (71 tickets given out in a 12-hour period), the installation of speed/radar trailers and the re-striping of Alston Road in order to narrow the lanes and widen the shoulders to allow for safer pedestrian travel.

In spite of these safety measures, our area has experienced at least six accidents along APS, Eucalyptus Hill, and Alston Roads in the last 18 months; one was a head-on collision at Alston and Woodland.

The EHIA then took the additional measure of having available the 18”by-24” red temporary signs, free to our members, that state, “Drive Like Your Kids Live Here” which complement the green and yellow city signs that state “Slow Down SB.” Our board members verified with the city that the temporary signs can be placed

in our neighborhood. Your readers should know that the “Slow Down SB” signs can be obtained for free at the Public Works office on Garden Street.

As we continue in our traffic-calming efforts, we believe if we prevent just one accident or injury, our efforts are well worth it.

Sue Burk President Eucalyptus Hill Improvement Association (Editor’s note: Thank you for that background information. Another thing worth taking note of is that there are no “bulb-outs” or other “traffic-calming” devices to annoy drivers along AlstonAPS-Eucalyptus, so the “Drive Like Your Kids Live Here” signs seem a minimal annoyance at worst and potential lifesavers at best. – J.B.)

Desal = Financial Terrorism

People, it’s time to go to work on the desal monster. Most of you reporters were not here for the last costly desal plant disaster. The plant wound up watering camels in the Arabian Desert at a cost of at least $25 million to Santa Barbara taxpayers. Lovely.

This one might wind up in Arabia again to water terrorists and their camels. It will cost over $100 million

earthquake. Most of the businesses along State Street were heavily damaged, 11 people were killed and a number of cars flattened.

Carl Sylvester, a driver for the Santa Barbara Packing Company, had just finished a delivery at the Bon Ton Market at 924 State. As he was about to climb back into his white truck, he noticed the tailgate wasn’t latched. He stepped back out of the cab to fasten it...

Meanwhile, just across the street.

his Saturday, July 4, marks the 20th enactment of Montecito’s Village Fourth parade and celebration. First launched in 1996 by Diane Pannkuk, the festivities have become a popular celebration of Independence Day and community involvement.

“I’m keeping Diane’s vision of the event alive,” says new organizer Alicia St. John, who took the reins from Pannkuk after 19 years, shadowing her at last year’s Village Fourth. “I like to think of it as a ‘Norman Rockwell version’ of a gentler, simpler life,” St. John told us.

The day begins at 7:30 am with the Montecito Fire Protection District’s (MFPD) 20th annual pancake breakfast at Fire Station #1 on San Ysidro Road.

For $8, attendees can enjoy pancakes, eggs, sausage, and Green Star coffee, served by Montecito’s finest firefighters. Proceeds from the breakfast benefit the Montecito Firefighters’ Charitable Foundation. Side note: no parking is available on site; a drop-off location will be accessible at the base of the District’s driveway.

Around 11:30 am, “the World’s shortest parade” will make its way down San Ysidro Road to Santa Rosa Lane, ending at Lower Manning Park. The parade will be led by Montecito school kids, who will precede a bevy of participants traveling on “floats,” antique cars, fire engines, and on foot. St. John is asking that participants dress the part, wearing patriotic colors or dressing as historic American founding fathers or other notable figures.

Parade organizer Dana Newquist has enlisted the help of Dr. Greg Charlton, who will likely take over the duties entirely next year.

Our own Richard Mineards will channel King George III, St. John divulges. There will also be a costume contest, and a large wooden board featuring artwork depicting George Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River, where kids can pose for a photo op. “I’ve added some historic and interactive activities, so the kids can learn what the day represents,” St. John said, adding that many local businesses have stepped up to donate time and effort, including DD Ford Construction, Santa Barbara Signs, and the Home Improvement Center.

Other businesses will also take part, including Crushcakes, which in addition to providing the pies for the contest, will also have home-style apple, cherry, and blueberry pies for sale.

t felt like a step back in time when life was more leisurely and dress more formal. Keith Mautino hosted and was event chair of an afternoon in the gardens at the historic old estate El Mirador. It has been in the Armour Meat Packing family since 1916, and one of the descendants, Lolita “Tita” Mitchell Lanning, still lives there.

We were lucky enough to be one of a small group that drove up a long driveway on the 25-acre property to be greeted by valets. We sipped champagne in the remains of an old grotto amidst the gardens, which used to be tended by 30 gardeners – now just three.

Most of the large trees on the property arrived by ship. In the 1880s, the owner Frederic Eaton would go to his widow’s walk with a spyglass. When he saw a ship arrive, his foreman would invite the captain and officers to dinner. Asking how to repay him, Eaton would order up 17 gum trees from Australia or four Totara trees from New Zealand. Eventually, the ship would return with his trees.

As we meandered down to yet another garden, there was a long har-

The estate was almost lost many times to one of Tita’s mother’s several husbands, and then the Armours lost their fortune. But grandma (Mrs. Armour) kept a patent, which was supposedly worthless. It was for cracking oil and Humbolt Oil bought it in 1930 for $18 million. The estate was secure.

The luncheon was honoring Marilyn (Missy) Brant Chandler DeYoung for her 45 years of service to world and U.S. population stabilization. As Missy says, “Increasing

Instead of cars in the Bacara courtyard it was filled with cocktail and dinner tables. All was black and red, and so were the guests – black dresses with touches of red or black suits with a red pocket square. This was in honor of the AHA (American Heart Association) Beach Ball.

Chair Sarah Bishop Jaimes had a personal interest in the evening’s cause. Her father died of heart disease at age 62, and she was diagnosed with a congenital birth defect at the age of 40. The night’s honoree, Dr. Joseph

That is an after-school program that seeks to empower elementary school children and their families to make healthier lifestyle choices by teaching nutrition basics, including how to read food labels, how to prepare healthy snacks, and how to make healthier choices when eating out.

Sarah says, “Being able to work with students one on one, and seeing the direct impact that this program makes has been inspiring.”

Dr. Aragon is a past board president and has served in various leadership roles within the Central Coast Division of AHA. Among his many credits is serving as an Assistant Clinical Professor

But fortunately for Ernesto, fate stepped in when energy entrepreneur William Peitzke, a bistro customer, asked why he kept wiping his eye and he explained his optical predicament.

In 1997, Bill founded Sight Surgery International, which holds four or five clinics worldwide, including El Salvador, Peru, and the Lebanon, giving 1,300 free operations annually in under served communities, mostly people suffering from cataracts that can be resolved with relatively simple 30-minute surgery.

“Ernesto’s problem was a lot more complicated with extensive follow-up, but fortunately, given he lives here, we were able to help,” says Bill, who was successful in securing a donor eye and making arrangements for the transplant surgery at the Cottage Hospital Eye Center, which provided the facilities for free.

Veteran local ophthalmologist Doug Katsev, who is also associated with Surgical Eye Expeditions (SEE) International, volunteered his time for the operation and the extensive follow-on treatment.

“We rarely do local surgeries; however, in this case we made an exception because it mattered that we could and Ernesto is an exceptionally fine fellow,” adds Bill.

“I can’t say enough about how grateful I am,” says Ernesto, who now has 20-40 vision.

“I started having major complications last fall, and it just got worse and worse. I was actually 85-percent blind in the one eye. I had been wearing contact lenses, but my sight continued to deteriorate.

Morning news anchor Joe Buttitta and reporter Kelsey Gerckens from KEYT-TV have joined the cast of the hit national, multi-Emmy Awardwinning show The Amazing Race for its 27th season, which kicked off filming in Venice last week.

The dynamic duo, billed as “dating anchors from Santa Barbara,” join 10 other twosomes who will jet around the world.

The 14-year-old race, hosted by New Zealander Phil Keoghan, is split into 12 legs interspersed with physical and mental challenges, and requires teams to deduce clues, navigate themselves in foreign climes, interact with locals, and vie for airplane, boat, taxi, and other public transportation options on a limited budget provided by the Jerry Bruckheimer-Bertram van Munster produced show.

Teams are progressively eliminated at the end of most legs until the big finale, when the three remaining teams compete for the $1-million prize.

Reeves Rocks in Service to the King

I

t may seem a little strange given Rick Reeves’s current affection for blues guitar legend B.B. King, but it took the guitarist a little while to warm up to King’s talent. As a youngster, Reeves – who grew up in the 1960s in East St. Louis where music and guitar were his best escapes – was much more partial to the speed demons on the six-string and didn’t give the blues legend a lot of credit.

“I just didn’t realize how good he was, because he wasn’t as fast as Alvin Lee or Eric Clapton,” Reeves recalled the other day. “But one day, I discovered something called ‘taste,’ and I needed to pay attention. B.B. King had a five or six-note pattern than he used all the time. That was it, whether it was an album from the ‘60s or one from just a few years ago. It was always the same licks. But that’s how his guitar talked to you. And boy, in terms of being able to express yourself with just a few notes, he was a master. I’ll take that over any other guitar player I’ve ever heard.”

Blues, whether tasty, down-low and dirty or straight-ahead, has always been a staple of Reeves’s repertoire, a vast catalog of songs that numbered in the several hundreds at one time, back when the guitarist and his band were playing gigs in bars all over Santa Barbara and Ventura, from weekly dates for the Ventura Blues Society in the former Alexander’s in Ventura Harbor to just about every joint up and down State Street.

Reeves – who has also played a lot of private parties in Montecito via referrals from holding down a solo slot at Tutti’s in Montecito for years before the eatery closed – also performed several shows at the Ventura Theatre from 1985 to the early ‘90s, opening for such acts as Eric Johnson, Marshall Tucker, the Dixie Dregs, Johnny Winter, Robert Cray, Leon Russell, Foreigner, Eddie Money, and many others – including, yes, King himself.

“It was back in 1994 or ‘95, and it was great,” Reeves recalled. “It was more than just the usual handshake for the opening act, although that was terrific, too. He walked in with that patented smile of his, and I was feeling like I’d died and gone to blues heaven. Actually, heaven came to me, because he walked over and shook my hand, and put the other hand over mine. We got to hang out for a little while.”

One of the best memories of that night was filling in for the guitarist during the sound check, when Reeves got to plug his Les Paul into King’s 2 – 9 July 2015

amp. “They told me just to play, and not to touch any knobs – but I got to be B.B. King for a song and half, with them setting the levels to my playing.”

More stories? “I got a bunch and could tell them all day long,” said Reeves.

Turns out, when King needed to change into his stage clothes, he wasn’t too keen on climbing the three levels of a narrow winding staircase to get to the Ventura Theatre’s unusual dressing room. “So he had the road crew hold out some blankets in a triangle, and he put on his tux right there in the wings,” Reeves recalled. “Right then I thought to myself, ‘I’ll never complain about not having a dressing room again.’ At least 20 times since, I’ve put on my own tux in the back seat of my car. If it was good enough for B.B., it’s good enough for me.”

So when King passed away earlier this year, Reeves – a 40-year resident of Santa Barbara, including the first three decades in Carpinteria – decided to put together a tribute to the great blues hero, and where better than the re-jiggered movie house in Carpinteria? Reeves and his band The Thrill – featuring drummer Pete Gallagher (who has played with Weird Al), bassist Glade Rasmussen (Joe Satriana, Sammy Hagar), keyboardist Damien Greywolf Bujanda (Iron Butterfly, Redbone), and a special-guest guitarist will perform on Friday night, July 3, in a pre-Independence Day bash that should get everyone in a festive spirit, as Reeves himself bring out both the tasty licks and the fireworks.

“It will be all B.B. King songs, but we’re doing ‘em my way,” he said. •MJ

Teams of up to four will receive two sheets of cardboard, one roll of tape, a marker, a utility knife, a yardstick, and one hour to construct a functioning kayak. Then they will be ready to race other teams in their heat, finding out whose design can hold up to the pressure of paddling out to a buoy and back. The Kardboard Kayak Races are divided into separate heats, with prizes awarded to participants in the Family Fun heat (geared toward family groups where kayak paddlers must be 14 years old or younger) and the Paddling Pros heat (geared toward adult and/or “skilled” competitors). Speed will be the true test!

Google is going to crash for all the searches coming out of Santa Barbara after the concert.

Sounds of SonataFest Fill the Air

C

larinetist Richie Hawley, a 10-year veteran faculty member of the Music Academy of the West (MAW), saw his family relocate from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara right after he finished high school in the late 1980s. So, he’s got more than one reason to consider the city his hometown, especially during the off-season from his “other” job on the faculty at Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music. It was at the institute in Houston that Hawley hooked up with Pierre Jalbert, the American composer who has developed a personal and economical yet expressive musical language that has earned him the Rome Prize, the BBC Masterprize, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s Stoeger Award and a 2010 American Academy of Arts and Letters award.

Hawley commissioned Jalbert to write a sonata for clarinet and piano, which he will play in the piece’s world premiere Tuesday night, July 7, accompanied by Conor Hanick, the brilliant young pianist who recently joined the MAW faculty. The concert, part of the regular Music Academy Festival Artist Series (MAFAS), has been dubbed SonataFest, with the other works including Weiner ’s Sonata No. 2 (Kathleen Winkler, violin/Jonathan Feldman, piano), Kogan’s Hassidic Suite (Julie Landsman, horn / Hiromi Fukuda, piano) and Brahms’ Sonata in D Minor (Glenn Dicterow, violin / Martin Katz, piano).

Hawley talked about the sonata and his MAW experiences last week right after his regular Friday afternoon master class.

Q. Why did you want to commission Pierre Jalbert to write this piece?

A. I’ve been a huge fan of his music even before I heard his string quartet Icefield Sonnets, before I was even teaching at Rice. I loved the piece, and I played it over and over again.

I couldn’t hear it enough! There were sound and textures that were unlike anything I’d ever heard before in classical music. And it wasn’t like some of the compositions that just use instruments for effects, like beating on your cello, or make clicks through the clarinet. Sadly, so many people write “new music” and it’s a mishmash of sound effects that belong in the background of a Hollywood picture for a horror movie, instead of on a performance stage. But this was harmonies and melodies that had never been written before. So I was very excited.

2 – 9 July 2015

You have some other interesting assignments later in the summer, Spohr’s Nonet on a program with the Jack Quartet and Thomas Ades, and then with fellow clarinetist Anthony McGill the last week of the season.

Yes, it’s great to be sharing the stage with Anthony in the duet for two clarinets. He’s the principal of the New York Philharmonic, but he was also my associate in Cincinnati when I was the principal clarinetist there. We used to play it together for parties, so we know it well. He was a great colleague and a good friend, so it will be fun. The piece is cheesy Italian music played on clarinets that sounds like a trip to the circus and once you’re there, there’s a zoo and then there’s an opera going on.

Clarinetist Richie Hawley sounds off about MAW and SonataFest

When I got the job at Rice, he was on the faculty. I played a trio of his for clarinet, violin, and piano for (a series in Houston), and then he asked me to record it. I said, “I’d love to. Would you also write me a sonata? I’d love to bring your music out west, so this world can be introduced to the amazing sounds I love so much.”

Can you talk about your clarinet fellows this summer?

I had 104 applicants for four positions. It’s very competitive to study with me here. The clarinet program has had such a string of successes over the years – every clarinetist involved here in the last 10 years has gone on to major jobs in major orchestras, with the possible exception of one or two. This year is great, because all of the orchestra repertoire (for the AFO concerts) has major clarinet parts; the fellows are

all featured extensively. It’s great to teach them to do what I spent so many years doing. I love going to the concerts and hearing them carrying on those traditions. I teach them a real traditional style of orchestral playing, focusing on absolute control and expression through sound, not just by making over-exaggerated phrasing. It’s the Philadelphia style of clarinet, which is what I learned.

Speaking of styles, what’s your approach and philosophy on master classes? They’re always quite interactive.

The students spend the entire school year playing for other musicians in master classes. The audiences are made up of players of the same instrument. They refine their skills for other players, and it’s not the real world. There’s a built-in self-consciousness. It’s different to interact and play for audiences who are diehard music patrons like at MAW. That’s unheard of in a master class setting, so I take the opportunity and get feedback from the audiences. “What did you think? How did it feel? I was bored – were you?”

It’s valuable and life-changing to get that feedback. And the audience feels connected to the performers on stage, and that’s the main goal of music, to make that connection through music to people you never met before. You can practice that, develop that skill.

That’s the theme of master classes for me: how do you connect to non-mu-

MUSIC ACADEMY Page 314

How closely did you work together in developing the piece?

He knows my playing quite well.

I trust him entirely. There was never a point of having to ask for something or say “Let’s not do this.” It was just “You know me. Let’s go to town, and I can’t wait to see what you come up with for me.” That’s so cool to have someone who knows my playing and my sound and wrote it with that in mind. I was so delighted when the music arrived. Pierre’s music is always incredibly intense and emotionally charged. Some of the elements of the Icefield Sonnets are in here in that the texture leads to the theme. No surprises. Only that this dream is all coming true... It’s already published even before it’s been played, and it’s amazing to have my name and the Music Academy of the West and this premiere (Tuesday) all on the same front page.

As you said, most people out here don’t know Jalbert’s music. Do you think they’ll relate?

They’ll love it. It’s compelling and very passionate. It grabs you viscerI think I did pretty well, considering I started out with nothing but a bunch of blank paper. – Steve Martin

by Oscar and Grammy-winning songwriter Paul Williams, were Alan and Marilyn Bergman, who penned the oh-so-romantic lyrics for the Academy Award-winning song, composed by the late Marvin Hamlisch.

The dynamic duo have earned numerous awards, including 16 Oscar nominations, multiple Emmys, Grammys, and three Academy Awards for “The Way We Were”, “The Windmills of Your Mind” – from the 1968 Steve McQueen film The Thomas Crown Affair – and the score for another Streisand film, Yentl.

After the screening, in the McCune Founder’s Room, the Bergmans sang “Windmills” and answered questions from many fans.

It was an evening to savor.

Glow Show Social gridlock gripped The Hangar downtown when 10-year-old charity Doctors Without Walls-Santa Barbara Street Medicine, had a Glow in the Park launch party, hosted by honorary event chair, Michael Hammer, and Chris Lambert.

The event, celebrating its second year, takes place at Elings Park on September 19 and is expected to help raise around $150,000 for the coffers.

Among the 100 guests checking out the event, not to mention the collection of highly polished Ferraris, Maseratis, and Jaguars on display, were Maria Long, Paul Jaconette, Gretchen Lieff, Salud Carbajal, Chris and Mindy

Dream Helper and Delfina’s Gold.

“I started it and then stopped when I got involved in the Point Conception lighthouse project at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum,” says Willard.

“Then it just flowed, and I completed it all in seven months.”

Willard is now working on his latest project, which will be a more contemporary work, he tells me.

Westerners International

Casa de la Guerra is a California Historical Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. What better place to have the meeting for a group of western history buffs called the Santa Barbara Corral of Westerners International?

The Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation (SBTHP) led by CEO Dr. Jarrell Jackman was host.

As stated in the web site, “The Westerners meet monthly to chomp and chat, and then to praise or haze a speaker who has presented a program on some western history topic.” The sheriff does what presidents do for other organizations, and Janet Sands is the local sheriff. The late historian Ray Allen Billington wrote: “Westerners share a dislike for stuffed-shirtism, over seriousness, shiftless thinking, and above all, ignorance.” Sounds

like a good group! The Santa Barbara Corral was founded here in 1973 and there are 179 members. Bill Burtness is the rep whose job involves contacts with other groups and Westerners International.

Our evening began in the “oldest bar in Santa Barbara,” the bodega room (Spanish for winery) of the Casa de la Guerra. Standing Sun winery was pouring and the business hopes to soon have a permanent tasting room in the bodega.

While “chatting and chomping” canapés in the courtyard, we also wandered in to one of the 13 rooms to see Ray Strong’s and the Oak Group exhibit. The de la Guerras had 13 children and 29 grandchildren, so it was a busy household in the 1800s. The commandante lived there from 1828 to 1858, when he died.

The Westerners movement began in Chicago in 1944 when Leland Case, editor of The Rotarian magazine and Elmo Scott Watson, a newspaperman and educator decided the academic world had little to say about the West.

They called themselves corrals or posses and the movement spread. It now includes 138 groups in the U.S. and overseas. There are few rules, and fun is the name of the game.

There were more than 100 of us seated at long tables for the Mexican buffet. Dr. Jackman explained why the Casa is the most accurately restored historic adobe. Archaeologist Michael Imwalle took us behind the scenes with a slide presentation of the restoration. The evening fulfilled the group’s goals, which were fun and camaraderie.

VILLAGE BEAT (Continued from page 12)

Montecito Cup, and younger kids can participate in face painting, bounce houses, and a fishing booth.

New this year: St. John has elected to honor two grand marshals, a man and a woman. This year, Tecolote Books owner Mary Sheldon will be honored, as well as Peter van Duinwyk.

“Mary is a woman committed to literacy in our community,” St. John said.

Van Duinwyk is a current Montecito Union School board member and a former Montecito Association president, in addition to being a former teacher. “He has continually given back to Montecito, and deserves to be recognized,” St. John added.

As usual, it takes a village to pull off the event, and participating organizations include MERRAG (Montecito Emergency Response & Recovery Action Group), Montecito Boy Scouts, Friendship Center volunteers, and others. St. John is still seeking people to help her set up the tents at lower Manning Park at 7:30 am on July 4.

The $20,000 event is sponsored in part by the Montecito Association, and is paid for by donations. To donate, you can send a check to Montecito Community Foundation, PO Box 5278, Santa Barbara, CA 93150 or drop it off at the Montecito Association office at Community Hall.

Village Fourth T-shirts are for sale at Vons on Coast Village Road and also in the upper village.

“It’s old-time, historical, community fun, and I hope to see everyone there,” said St. John, who designed a special vintage-style logo for the celebration.

She also gave thanks to the event’s founders, as well as the Montecito Association, Montecito Community Foundation, and volunteers.

The festivities are this Saturday; MFPD’s pancake breakfast is from 7:30 to 10:30 am, and the parade starts at 11:30. For more info or to volunteer your time, St. John can be reached at (805) 708-3777.

MBAR Hears from Casa & Crane

At this week’s Montecito Board of Architectural Review (MBAR) meeting, Casa del Herrero reps were granted final approval for a new service gate at the entrance to the East Valley Road property. The gate, designed by archi-

tect Mark Appleton, reflects the style of the current – and visible – garage doors, reflecting the style of the rest of the historic estate, according to Casa reps.

MBAR members gave positive comments about the gate and revised entrance, agreeing that the gate will provide for greater security to the property, which is designated as a National Historic Landmark. The new gate will be fabricated with wide slats of redwood and decorated with metal escutcheons and a curved top, matching the arches above the windows of the estate’s workshop.

“The gate is meant to look more humble than a typical main entrance, yet still distinguished,” said executive director Molly Barker. She explained that historically, the East Valley Road entrance was used for service vehicles.

“The appearance and materials should coincide with the original use of the property,” she said.

The project, which will also widen and repave the driveway and include landscaping, will cost roughly $250,000, raised in 2013 as park of a fundraising drive. “It looks great,” said MBAR member Claire Gottsdanker, before unanimous approval of the project.

Construction is expected to begin in July, with regular tours of the property canceled from Wednesday, July 15 to October 1.

Also at MBAR: the board was shown new plans for Crane Country Day School, which, as part of its Master Plan, is designing a new section of campus known as the Oak Quad.

MBAR had given positive comments about the project last August, and on Monday, were shown a significantly different concept. “Crane took a pause and relooked at campus usage,” said agent Heidi Jones, on behalf of the school. Multiple workshops have been held the past year to gain insight from stakeholders, teachers, and parents.

The “refreshed” Oak Quad project has a smaller footprint and revised design, along with a revised landscaping plan.

Architect Ken Radtkey from Blackbird Architects laid out the new project, which is to be located on the current sports court and former dropoff loop. The development includes four classrooms (two for math, two for English), and a larger multipurpose building – dubbed the Design Center –

A large oak tree on Crane’s campus will be the center point of a new cluster of classrooms called the Oak Quad

that will function as a workshop-type space, or can be converted into three separate class areas. Radtkey told MBAR that the revised plan is based on a change in teaching styles, as curriculum is moving toward “project-based learning.” The Design Center building will feature a loft-type second story, which will have large windows to let in natural light, the architect explained.

The buildings will be located around a raised deck, built around the massive oak tree on the site to form a courtyard.

“Although it is a different project, the set up is very similar,” Radtkey said, adding that there will be covered outdoor spaces outside of the classrooms, as well as sitting areas, an amphitheater space, and garden areas. The project also includes faculty offices and bathrooms. The project design is similar to the campus’ existing palette, with pitched roofs, beige stucco, blue doors, and brown windows. “The architecture is modest, blending into the current aesthetic,” Radtkey said.

Landscape architect (and former MBAR chair) Sam Maphis was also at the meeting, outlining the landscaping plan for the project. The plan includes native landscaping, permeable pavers on pathways, and hiding of the trash enclosure. The project also includes a new chain-link fence to replace the current six-foot-tall wall that faces San Leandro Lane. The black-vinyl covered fence will be screened with multiple layers of landscaping, Maphis said.

Kellam de Forest, history advocate and former Crane student from 193240, voiced concern over the fence, referring to the Montecito Community Plan, and saying that chain-link fences are not semi-rural. “They should be avoided at all costs, in my opinion,” he said.

Maphis and Gottsdanker explained the fence would be greatly screened and is needed for security purposes.

Some MBAR members said they felt the design lacked inspiration, and that the venture was not as detailed as the former rendition. “I really loved the other project,” MBAR member Dave

• The Voice of the Village •

Mendro said. “It’s a shame the design has changed.”

The board decided they would like to have story poles erected and conduct a site visit before making comments on the project. That will likely take place in the next month.

The Oak Quad undertaking is to match the campus’ Magnolia Quad and Olive Quad, which are set further back on the 11-acre parcel. The building of the project is the next step in preparing for the demolition of two of the school’s older buildings (one built in 1928 and one in the 1950s), to eventually make way for an expanded Cate Hall (the school’s theater and auditorium). Earlier phases of the Master Plan remodel included a new kindergarten in 2011, as well as a completely repaved and redesigned parking lot and dropoff loop, which was finished last year.

Library & Community Hall News

Last week, the County of Santa Barbara announced the Montecito Library will have reduced hours beginning Monday, July 6. The library, a branch of the Santa Barbara Public Library System, will once again be closed on Mondays and will close at 4 pm Saturdays instead of 5:30 pm. The closures are necessitated by budget cuts at the state and county level.

The new weekly schedule for the Montecito Library beginning July 6 will be: Tuesday through Friday, 10 am to 5:30 pm; Saturday 10 am to 4 pm; closed Sunday and Monday.

Also happening at Community Hall, the Montecito Association History Committee office is celebrating its 40th anniversary this month. A recent grant from Montecito Community Foundation enabled a recent remodel of the office, which will allow volunteers to appropriately preserve the documents, maps, and treasures donated to the office over the last four decades.

“Thanks to the community, we are able to assist writers, filmmakers, historians, and architects from across the country with their research,” said history chair Trish Davis. “We are so thankful for all of the support we have received these past forty years from our Montecito neighbors.”

Davis tells us founding members include Kit McMahon, David Yeager, Maria Churchill, Maria Herold, and David Myrick. “Without their hard work and tenuous spirit, there would not be such a special archive of Montecito history,” she said.

The office is open every Tuesday from 10 am until 2 pm and by appointment. It is staffed with volunteers including archive specialists Debbie Hughey and Leslie Power, and historians Hattie Beresford and Ron Nigh.

Both the history office and library are located at 1469 East Valley Road. •MJ 2 – 9 July 2015

MUSIC ACADEMY (Continued from page 23)

sicians in the audience who want to feel something?

So what is the secret, in a nutshell?

It’s realizing that people have the same hearts and ears that we do.

They just want to hear something beautiful or emotionally challenging.

Express something. That’s what we all want. But as students, it’s often forgotten (in favor of technical perfection).

Horne’s Program in Full Throat

The Music Academy of the West’s vocal program run by the great mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne has a well-earned reputation for showcasing singers who are generally in their early to mid-20s, just getting started on professional careers. That happens all summer long, but the roster is determined – the fellows chosen through rigorous auditions – based largely on the year’s opera production.

“After we choose the opera, we have to get the singers to fill the roles,” explained John Churchwell, the longtime vocal piano faculty member of the program. “We’re always nervous until that happens.

But then everything else during the summer is done in reverse. We look at who we have and figure out what we can do that’s best for them to show them in best light.”

The repertoire is tailored to the singers on hand, working with their voices and abilities to find appropriate repertoire. That goes double for OperaFest – which was previously known more descriptively as Opera Scenes – the evening of vignettes taken from several operas. Although the sets are minimal and the costumes basic, the fellows are put through their paces on the works, slotted in to scenes and roles that are custom-fit for each singer.

The mission is accomplished a number of ways, said Churchwell, who is co-conducting the performances with Chris Ocasek with direction by Bruce Donnell. “We videotape all of the auditions, so we’re able to go back and listen again and study their voices to see what kind of repertoire is best suited for each singer.”

Donnell, who served as a stage director at the famed Metropolitan Opera for more than 30 years through 2009 and also counts two Emmy Awards among his honors, put together the program with Horne.

Among the featured works are the Flower Duet from Delibes’ Lakmé, several ensembles from Mozart’s Così fan tutte, the “Rosebud” aria and an ensemble from Lehar’s The Merry Widow, a duet from Donizetti’s 2 – 9 July 2015

Lucia di Lammermoor, selections from Strauss’s Ariadne Auf Naxos, and the Farmyard Scene from Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen.

“The main goal for the scenes is to give the singers and pianists an opportunity to try out new material or do something they haven’t done before, whether it’s a particular composer, a style of music, or a single opera,” Churchwell said. “But it also give the singers who don’t have a lead in the opera (Rossini’s Cinderella will be performed July 30 and August 1) a real chance to sing something more substantial than the chorus parts, to sink their teeth into performing. And audiences get to see starring roles from the singers that are mostly in the background in the opera.”

This year ’s OperaFest also serves as a gauge of the growth of MAW’s vocal program, Churchwell said, pointing to the inclusion of the Strauss vignette. “It’s really a demanding work. When I first came here, I thought it was a huge undertaking, maybe too big. Now after all these years, the program has gotten a lot better, and it’s nice to come back to that scene one more time.”

Monday, July 6: OperaFest (nee Opera Scenes) strings together favorite moments from operas popular and more obscure, with fellows in costume performing all the roles (see above for an interview with co-conductor John Churchwell). Repeats Wednesday (7:30 pm; Hahn; $40).

Tuesday, July 7: Violist McInnes (see above) gives his only public master class of his truncated two-week residency this summer (3:15 pm; Weinman Hall; $13).... The MAFAS concerts gets a sub-head: Sonatafest, in honor of the four works highlighting faculty artists, including a world premiere by Pierre Jalbert, commissioned by clarinetist Richie Hawley

(see above for an interview with Hawley) (8 pm; Lobero; $42).

Thursday, July 9: Cellist Alban Gerhardt, one of this year’s impressive slate of Mosher guest artists, performs in recital with faculty pianist Natasha Kislenko. Gerhardt has played in front of more than 250 different orchestras, including some of the most prestigious ensembles in the world, with a repertoire of more than 70 concertos, and is also an accomplished recitalist (8 pm; Hahn; $55).

For more information, details and tickets, call 969-8787 or visit www.musica •MJ cademy.org.

(OperaFest will be presented Monday and Wednesday nights at the Lobero Theatre.)

This Week @ the Music Academy

Thursday, July 2: Jeremy Geffen, the director of artistic planning at Carnegie Hall and a 1993-94 MAW student of violist Donald McInnes, hosts a discussion with McInnes about the latter’s career. The elder violist was just bestowed the honorary title of Emeritus Faculty in recognition of his half-century connection to MAW – a fellow in 1954-56, faculty since 1982 (3:15 pm; Lehmann Hall; free).... The Concerto Competition Finals wrap up with the non-string instrumental fellows (wind, brass, percussion, and piano), accompanied by collaborative pianists, with performance slots with the full Academy Festival Orchestra on Saturday, July 18, in the balance (7 pm; Hahn Hall; $15).

Friday, July 3: The annual MERIT concert features exceptionally talented young local musicians (ages 11-17) who have been mentored

by Academy fellows over the first few weeks of the summer in the true spirit of paying it forward (12:30 pm; Hahn; free).... Pianist Jeremy Denk leads the fellows in all-Mozart program he curated just for this concert, including the Concerto in D Minor, No. 20 (8 pm; Lobero; $50).

THURSDAY, JULY 2 Concerts in the Park – If it’s a Thursday during early summer in Santa Barbara, it must be time for Concerts in the Park, the perennially popular series of pop-performance picnics.

Town folk in-the-know and visitors alike assemble on the gentle sloping hill facing the stage at the public park across the street from the waterfront for two sets of music from a variety of bands. Food and drink (alcohol is officially prohibited), playing with dogs, Frisbee tossing, juggling, and lots and lots of dancing are all a part of the gatherings, which span either side of sunset through the tall palms across the street. The season has been truncated to just five concerts this year – all in the month of July – down from a high of eight several years back, and among the casualties is the evening dedicated to local youth bands. The focus for 2015 is largely on cover bands, beginning tonight with The Long Run, The Eagles tribute band who formed in 1999 in Los Angeles – yes, the same city that gave rise to the original supergroup of L.A. country music – who have held together longer than the original Eagles in their first incarnation (though The Eagles have enjoyed a 20-plus year second life, too). Hopefully, we’ll all take it easy and get that peaceful, easy feeling lounging on our blankets or shuffling along to the strains of “Hotel California”, “Lyin’ Eyes”, and the like. Next week (Thursday, July 9): Lost Dog Found, who are not a Three Dog Night clone

but instead play roots swing music, perfect for the place. Coming later this month are 1950s/’60s rock ‘n’ roll faves Captain Cardiac and the Coronaries for the umpteenth consecutive year (Thursday, July 16), Santa Barbara-born Rainbow Girls, the all-female group blending Americana, gypsy music, funk, soul, folk and rock (Thursday, July 23), and Fortunate Son’s tribute to John Fogerty and Creedence Clearwater Revival (Thursday, July 30).

Moholy-Nagy’s career is explored in a selection of 33 works of art ranging in date from the 1920s to 1940s, including paintings, works on paper, photograms, video projections, and a facsimile replica of Moholy’s prescient Light Prop – one of the first kinetic sculptures of its kind.

TUESDAY, JULY 7 Rock This Way – Aerosmith, America’s greatest, or at least most successful, hard-rock band in history, having sold more than 150 million albums worldwide, hits the stage at everyone’s favorite outdoor local venue. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers – Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Joey Kramer, Tom Hamilton, and Brad Whitford – have as a group scored 25 gold albums, 18 platinum albums (including a dozen that went multiplatinum); they hold records for American groups for the most gold albums, the most multi-platinum albums, and the most total certifications (gold and platinum combined).

More stats: 21 Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, nine No. 1 Mainstream Rock hits, four Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, and 10 MTV Video Music Awards. Perhaps most impressive, though, is Aerosmith’s comeback after Perry’s return following a five-year hiatus, which didn’t take shape until the band’s collaboration with rap group Run-D.M.C. in 1986 set off a spectacular second life that rivaled its early success. Forty-five years after first coming together, and four decades since Toys in the Attic made the Boston band a worldwide household phenomenon, the boys are still on the road, still rockin’ hard though they’ve already hit Social Security age.

Mayall then found a succession of great musicians who defined their artistic roots under his leadership, including Peter Green, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood (who later formed Fleetwood Mac), Andy Fraser (Free), and Mick Taylor (the Rolling Stones).

Harvey Mandel, Larry Taylor, Aynsley Dunbar, and Coco Montoya also served stints in his bands, and that doesn’t even include the era with acoustic guitarist Jon Mark and saxist Johnny Almond – Mayall’s first nonBluesbreaker band – which recorded the landmark album The Turning Point at the Fillmore East in 1969.

Incredibly, Mayall is not only still making vital music on the road half a century since launching his career and providing a showcase for up-andcoming guitarists (Rocky Athas is the latest), he’s also still recording new music, as his most recently release, A Special Life, came out just last year.

Gray Day at the Bowl – No, we’re not talking about June Gloom – that’s so last month anyway. If the Bowl is still standing after the previous night’s encounter with Aerosmith, British folk-rocker David Gray should mellow things out nicely. Gray enjoyed a three-album run atop Britain’s pop charts beginning with 1999’s White Ladder and while his latest effort, Mutineers, takes a bit of a left turn for the folkinspired musicians, it’s also enjoyed plenty of critical acclaim.

Co-headliner Amos Lee has himself topped America’s album chart, with 2011’s Mission Bell. The Philly-born singersongwriter’s follow-up, 2013’s Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song, didn’t fare as well commercially, despite guest appearances by Alison Krauss, Patty Griffin, and Jeff Coffin of the Dave Matthews Band. Such are the vagaries of pop music in the 2010s. WHEN: 6 pm WHERE: 1122 North Milpas St. COST: $45-$85 INFO: 962-7411 or www.sbbowl.com

Real Estate

by Mark Hunt with a fireplace. There are three bedrooms and three baths on the main level

Mark and his wife, Sheela Hunt, are real estate agents. They live in Montecito with their daughter, Sareena, a student at SBHS. His family goes back nearly 100 years in the Santa Barbara area. Mark’s grandparents – Bill and Elsie Hunt – were Santa Barbara real estate brokers for 25 years.

New Listings, Just in Time for Summer

A

s usual, the start of summer marks an increase in homes coming on the market for sale. This past week proved the case, with about 15 new listings in Montecito. Some of these are homes that have recently been on the market, but many are fresh on the scene.

Oftentimes, homes come on the market and agents debate the value, pricing, opportunity, and desirability of each listing. Sometimes we agree and other times not. Some like contemporary design, others prefer Spanish; neither are wrong, just different sensibilities. This week, a variety of homes in all shapes and sizes hit the market. I have chosen four to feature; they range from an ocean-view Mediterranean to a prime Hedgerow remodel to a private pool estate, to an 11,000-square-foot house on four acres; each offers a buyer something unique or special.

Eucalyptus Hill Road: $1,995,000

This is an ocean-view Mediterranean home with more than 3,000 square feet of living space. The four-bedroom three-bath home was built in 2000 with the master suite on the first floor. There is an open kitchen with center-island, sloping backyard, driveway parking for guests and easy access to Montecito’s upper and lower villages or downtown Santa Barbara.

Additional features include cathedral ceilings, dual-pane windows, central vacuum, and two-car garage, all set on a 16,500+ square-foot lot.

This home is located in the Montecito 93108 ZIP code area and is in the Cleveland School District.

Miramar Avenue: $2,650,000

First time offered for sale in 49 years.

This traditional home was built in 1916, in the Hedgerow, just a few short blocks to Miramar Beach and Montecito Union School. The lot is more than three-fourths of an acre, and the H-shaped home offers a formal living room, dining room, and den, each

and a large upstairs game/family room with fireplace and half-bath, offering views of the property grounds and neighborhood. This 3,700+ square-foot home is on a prime, level, sunny lot and includes a guest house with kitchenette attached to a two-car garage, manicured rose gardens, mature landscaping, and the property is fenced and gated.

Santa Rosa Lane: $4,395,000

This classic Edwards & Plunkettstyle Monterey Colonial estate was designed in 1935, and is located down a private lane in the Hedgerow area in the Montecito Union School District.

The home is situated on a landscaped lot featuring a swimming pool, mountain views, mature oaks, gardens, and numerous patios.

The light-filled interior has been updated and encompasses two formal living rooms flanked by a formal dining room, large open kitchen with breakfast nook, and a family area with French doors opening onto the back patio. The spacious, added master bedroom suite with fireplace and sitting area encompasses an en-suite bath and large walk-in closets. There are five additional bedrooms and a total of four and a half-bathrooms in more than 4,400 square feet of living space.

East Valley Road: $4,500,000

The Stallaggio Ranch Estate is located on 4+ acres near Sheffield Drive in the Montecito Union School District. This is a gated estate with more than 11,000 square feet of living space with a dramatic, open, two-story atrium-style living room with surrounding interior balcony.

There are five bedrooms and six baths in the main home, as well as eight fireplaces, along with a den, bar area, office, and more. The penthouse tower boasts 360-degree views and there is an attached guest apartment with kitchen. Outside, there is a private swimmer’s pool, a tack room and horse corrals, tennis court, three-car garage, and parking for many guests.

For more information on any of these listings, or if you would like me to arrange a showing with the listing agents, please contact me directly at Mark@Villagesite.com or call/text (805) 698-2174. To see more listings in Montecito, visit my website, www.
