GUEST EDITORIAL

by Bob Hazard
Mr. Hazard is an Associate Editor of this paper and a former president of Birnam Wood Golf Club
(The following analysis was written by Associate Editor Bob Hazard. The majority of Montecito Journals board of directors disagrees in substance with Mr. Hazards conclusions and next week, well present a different analysis written by the MA Community Coalition. TLB)
Whats Next For the 101?
Traffic snarls now jam Hot Springs Road as motorists, desperate to avoid the Montecito choke point, head up Hot Springs and either turn at Olive Mill or head up to East Valley Road in a misguided pursuit of a faster route south
s we head into the summer season, gridlock on the 101 and increased backup on Coast Village Road becomes more visible. While the widening of the 101 from Mussel Shoals to Carpinteria progresses smoothly, the start of construction for the widening of the Montecito gap is looking less likely to begin in 2016 and seems more likely for a delay, which translates to more years of local gridlock and less maintenance on the current crumbling roadway. May 16, 2013 was a milestone in the 25-year discussion on the future widening of the 101 through the Montecito corridor. All the decision makers the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) consisting of the five County Supervisors and eight Mayors or City Council members from the incorporated towns of Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Goleta, Carpinteria, Solvang, Buellton, Lompoc and Guadalupe met with Caltrans most senior management and representatives of the Montecito Association (MA) with their proposed alternative MA Community Coalition Plan. Malcolm Dougherty, Director of the California Department of Transportation, a 20-year veteran of Caltrans and an appointee and confidante of Governor Jerry Brown, heads the $11-billion organization that oversees 20,000 state employees. Caltrans owns, builds, operates and maintains some 50,000 lane miles of the state highway system of California, plus its tunnels and toll bridges. It is extremely unusual to have the head of Caltrans personally attend a SBCAG meeting to address the tiny stretch of freeway that runs through Montecito, a miniscule part of his huge highway empire. He was accompanied by Tim Gubbins, Caltrans Managing Director for District 5, and Scott Eades, Project Manager for the South Coast 101 widening. Speaking as a Montecito resident, Jack Overall, a Montecito Planning Commissioner, offered a revised version of the MA Community Coalition plan alternative, as a rebuttal to the Caltrans presentation. Interestingly, all participants seem to share the following goals: 1) to build the safest highway at the least cost that offers the best traffic flow, with the least temporary and permanent disruption to local streets and local traffic patterns; 2) to design and build a widening project that is as compatible as possible with the unique character of Montecito; and 3) to minimize construction time, traffic disruption and the negative impact of the construction on local businesses and residents. All participants agreed that a third lane in each direction is needed as soon as possible, and all recognize that this project will be the last 101 improvement seen until at least 2040. With common goals, common solutions should be easy. Twenty years ago, 4,000 South Coast residents signed petitions protesting a Caltrans plan to widen the 101. This led then 1st District Supervisor Naomi

rocodile Dundee actor Paul Hogan and his wife, Linda Kozlowski, are selling their 100-year-old beachside pad on Padaro Lane, I can exclusively reveal. The tony twosome, who now spend much of their time in Malibu in the Serra Retreat community where residents have included Mel Gibson and Kelsey Grammer , are selling the three-bedroom half-acre property, with almost 100 feet of beach frontage, as well as a roadside property next door connected by a single driveway, for $12.9 million. The couple have reportedly bought and flipped as many as half a dozen homes in our rarefied enclave over the years, including a 3,249-sq-ft house in Riven Rock they bought in 2005 and sold three years later, and, more recently, a five-bedroom, five-bath

Remembering Jonathan Winters

am the widow of Dario Darnell Maiani, who was a noted Italian opera singer. We were great friends with Jonathan, especially in the good ol days of Hollywood in the 1950s and 60s. When Dario retired from opera, we moved to Montecito (my hometown) where he continued his second career as an accomplished seascape artist. Later on, Jonathan bought a home here and we renewed the old friendship. Every so often Dario and I would be going to Vons to shop and we would run into Jonathan. Dario would be getting either his hair cut or shopping at Vons and Jonathan would arrive at the same time. Dario and Jonathan would head for Jesse and Bob at Montecito Barbers. It wouldnt take long for Dario to start singing, O Sol Mio, and Jonathan would begin his banter, usually telling the guys at the shop that Dario was in the Mafia and that he was looking for a paisano to whack
the guy that winked at his beautiful redheaded wife. His comment would be then, As you know, these Mafia guys cannot tell a blink from a wink. Then Jonathan would straighten his index finger and aim it at Dario as if he had a gun pointed at him and make some noise imitating a gun going off. Dario would immediately give it back to the wisecracking Jonathan to the tune of Mack the Knife, singing, Lock up your wives and daughters as ol Jonathan is in town. The staff at the Barber Shop would roar with laughter, applause and bravos for their performance. When it was over, the two would then walk away, as if they would disappear into the sunset. The events were spontaneous and it brought tears of laughter and joy to, in many cases, a surprised and unsuspecting audience that happened by on the street. I regret that I never had a camera to capture the show. But I will never forget it. Every time I think about it, I cant help breaking into

laughter; it was a privilege to know these two great entertainers. Another time, my son Rick Maiani was standing in line at the local bank and was talking to me on his cell phone. Jonathan came in, saw Rick, and asked who he was talking to. He said, My mother. Whereupon Jonathan replied, Let me talk to her. He took the phone and said: Remember those diamond gold ball earrings I promised you? Actually a baseball size would be more accurate. Well, Im here at the bank to check on them in the vault. I think they are your style. He was kidding me, as I always wore large earrings. He called them cowbells and said that if I shook my head I would have every cow from here to Santa Ynez come running. Another happy time was when Jonathan exhibited his beautiful paintings at our Maiani Gallery on Coast Village Road. My son Rick and Jonathan were great friends. Rick wanted to do a show for him and would consider it if Rick could answer the next question correctly. Whereupon he asked, Who is a better artist: me or your father? Rick responded with, You of course, so the show was on. It was a great event, and Rick sold a number of Jonathans whimsical pieces. The response was over the top and people from all over the country came to see the paintings. Many came to hear him speak and do his thing, and my granddaughter, Te Marie Maiani was able to get his autograph and photo. Later that evening Jonathan would tease her about getting his royalties. By his presence, he made Coast Village Corner famous again, like the Montecito Inn during the time of Charlie Chaplin. The great lovable Jonathan Winters was here. We will miss his impromptu performances and he and my husband can now entertain God and the rest of the cast. He will be missed and I am thankful to have been able to be a friend of such a great entertainer. He will be missed greatly. Rosemary Ashby Maiani Montecito

If you werent aware of it, you are now a resident of what soon can be officially dubbed The Soviet State of California. Our inestimable State legislature has decided to triple down on ObamaCare and is proposing legislation that will fine employers $6,000, or 110% of annual insurance costs, per full-time employee who ends up on Medi-Cal. The legislation is supposedly targeted towards large employers. However, if you think the recent scandal of the IRS pursuit of so-called
conservative organizations was scary, or the U.S. Justice Department subpoena of AP phone lines and e-mails, just wait until the California Franchise Tax Board comes after you with the full force of the State Attorney General, should Timothy Gomezs AB 880 pass and obtain Governor Browns signature. AB 880 is now headed for the State Senate and is an Emergency bill (i.e., it becomes effective 30 days after the Governors signature). Supporters of this legislation are a list of the usual suspects: unions, consumer groups and surprisingly doctors (but then you have to stop and recall how regimented this industry has become). The reasoning behind this legislation is that all large employers are guilty, prior to the fact, of trying to avoid the provision of health insurance to their employees. This totally ignores two fundamental principles that presently exist in this country: 1) innocent until proven guilty with evidence; and 2) total control of employer operations by government. When further considering the reasoning behind AB 880, take careful note that virtually nothing is expressed about the terrible consequences and costs that ObamaCare is already generating; the thousands of jobs that have followed employers out of the state over the past six to eight years; and the thousands of residential dwellers that have voted with their feet and moved to friendlier states where they can keep more of the money they earn. Very few have voiced what they anticipate to be a devastating impact on all stillexisting major employers throughout the state, with the additional loss of untold jobs and employment. However, AB 880 is not the only gorilla in the states living room. There are presently more than 30 different pieces of legislation all aimed at the health care industry as the full implementation of ObamaCare looms on the horizon of 2014. Virtually all these pieces of legislation will levy more burdensome rules, regulations and costs statewide. Guess whos going to pay when all these vaunted policies and programs come due and the taxpayer is presented with the bill of further subsidizing the subsidy? Nothing has been said about the increased burden that will be placed on these entitlement programs due to the influx of additional immigrants, legal or not. Nothing has been said about the cost estimates on employers of existing and future low-skilled workers presently employed who end up on Medi-Cal. Present estimates project some 130,000 workers who could be Medi-Cal recipients in the near future. There are no estimates for yearly horizons. Yet Mr. Gomez and others are assuming an unlimited source of funding, not only from these 13 20 June 2013

same large employers (who are going to hang around California forever?), but also the taxpaying public. As yet, no concern has been expressed about the fact that the number two (2) highest taxing state may soon pass the number one (1) highest taxing State of New York. Two states with the worst employment figures and the highest costs anywhere in the USA. Not only are taxpayers faced with earthquakes, fires, and the questionable institution of the legislature in Sacramento, but that horrible sound that were all beginning to hear very loudly is the draining of resources down the massive sinkhole of bureaucratic California.

t this months Montecito Association board meeting, Montecito Water District General Manager Tom Mosby and Engineering Manager Karl Meier spoke to the Board about a proposed water rate increase expected to be approved later this summer. The last rate increase, Mosby reminded the Board, was in May 2008, when the MWD rolled out the conservation rate structure that is currently in place. Mosby says two years of low rainfall plus reductions in water from Jameson and Cachuma Lakes have left the District preparing for a water deficit, which is expensive to fund. The current revenues are insufficient to fund the Districts operations, and reserves have been used to balance the budget for the last several years. We are facing serious challenges at the moment, Mosby said. The increase in rates was recommended by financial consultants hired to study the Districts cost of service and budget woes. The plan, which will be introduced at a public meeting in mid-July, calls for a 16% increase; single-family residents will pay $4.36 per unit of water (roughly 700 gallons), up from $3.90. Institutional customer rates will increase by 23.8%, and agricultural customers will see a 38.1% increase. This is disheartening, Mosby said about the jump in agricultural rates, but our hands are tied. He says litigation about the agricultural rate, as well as repercussions from Prop 218, are factors for the significant increase. A main factor in the rate increase is the need for capital improvements in the District, which was formed in 1921. Twenty-three miles of pipeline in Montecito are close to 100 years old, and the District has laid out a plan to target 9.7 miles of these pipes for replacement. In addition to operating financially soundly, we are also trying to generate $1.8 million for these improvements, Meier explained. A five-year plan has been put together to accomplish this, with two miles per year being replaced in a pay-as-you-go plan instead of a bond measure. The deteriorated pipes are located on Cold Spring, East Valley, and Sycamore Canyon, and they are major connectors to smaller pipelines. Wed rather fix these pipes preventatively instead of dealing with emergency situations, Meier said. Burst pipes lead to major water loss, service loss, sinkholes, and expensive disruptions. Montecito uses roughly 2.1 billion gallons of water a year, and the
District serves 9,225 acres. We need this rate increase, Mosby said. The City of Santa Barbara is also increasing its water rates; Mosby says on average, a single-family customer in Montecito will pay less for their water than a family in Santa Barbara. The proposal will be seen by the MWD Board in August. Letters about the proposed increase will go out to MWD customers in the next few weeks.

An Intimate Evening with Tony Bennett

Robert and Gretchen Lieff with Leslie Ridley-Tree and Brian King at the Montecito Country Club
CSB Arts & Lectures (A&L) had a first ever event a fundraiser for its arts education outreach programs at the Montecito Country Club with Tony Bennett as the star attraction. The 228 seats were sold out two weeks in advance at $1,000 a pop, but how many times do you get to see a star in such a small venue reminiscent of nightclub days?
Among those mingling during the cocktail hour were Lynda Weinman and Bruce Heavin (from lynda. com, A&Ls corporate season sponsor), council member Tom Kenny and Susan McMillan, Marcy Carsey, Dick and Noelle Wolf, Luci and Rich Janssen, Carla Hahn, Nancy and Larry Koppelman, Irma and Morris Jurkowitz, and Duncan and Suzanne

Mellichamp. Many of them were bidding on Tony Bennetts painting of Rome at the silent auction, which Bob and Margo Feinberg finally won. Tony wanted to be a painter even before a music career. He has two commissioned projects by the United Nations (one of which was purchased by Oprah Winfrey). Three others are in the Smithsonian. He signs his art with his family name, Benedetto. Bob Hope gave me my name. Rosemary Clooney and I were the first American Idols, quipped Tony. The ballroom was packed with tables for dinner and the show. Sara Miller McCune and Dan Burnham are co-chairs of the A&L $20 million campaign with $380,000 raised this evening for educational outreach. Dan also reigned as auctioneer along with CFO of UC Santa Barbara Foundation Eric Sonquist. An Epiphone banjo signed by Steve Martin plus box seats at the Hollywood Bowl was a popular item, as was an Eastman cello signed by Yo-Yo Ma with a meet and greet with Yo-Yo. Or you could take a nine-day trip to Cuba with National Geographic Expeditions. Don and I
spent our honeymoon there. When we visited Earnest Hemingways house, we saw his dirty sneakers. A great trip! Tony didnt disappoint because he sang all our favorites from his 60-year career, which is still going strong at 86. He told us, Charlie Chaplin wrote Smile Though Your Heart is Breaking. I remember where I was when I first heard I Left My Heart in San Francisco. I was in my kitchen in Norfolk, Virginia and my husband was out on deployment. When he came home I told him he had to hear this song. Obviously I wasnt the only one who liked it. As Miller McCune executive director Celesta Billeci said, Tony was simply outstanding. A special thanks to Lady Leslie Ridley-Tree who made a significant gift to help underwrite the evening. The evening ended with a standing ovation and lots of hooting and hollering so Tony said, Shall we go on? and he did. The last song could have been, Once Upon a Time Never Comes Again.
Alexis De Tocqueville Society
El Encanto was the site of the 20th annual Alexis de Tocqueville Society and the Leadership Circle thank you reception given by United Way. These are two groups that continue to give generous donations and support to United Way so it can carry on with its many programs. President and CEO Paul Didier 13 20 June 2013
United Way board chair of leadership David Prichard, director of development Steve Ortiz, Mary Jean Vignone from Union Bank, United Way president/CEO Paul Didier, and city clerk recorder/accessor Joe Holland at the Alexis De Tocqueville Society reception at El Encanto
addressed the group saying, These are 350 people who donate with our focus being children, families and seniors and we have many partnerships. Franklin School is the lowest income school with the average parents wage at $19,000. When United Way came in with its reading program, the principal told the kids that if they could raise their score to 25 points she would kiss a pig. It took a couple of years but they did it and she did it. Paul went to Pittsburgh, Pennslyvania to receive the national award for the best learning program
in the United States. He believes that anyone can make his or her dream come true with grit, curiosity and perseverance. As we were leaving the El Encanto I noticed the old historic sign that was over the original entrance for many years: The lintel low enough to keep out pomp and pride. The threshold high enough to turn deceit aside; the door band strong enough from robbers to defend. This door will open at a touch to welcome every friend Henry Van Dyke.

Montecito Union Honors Scottie
PRESENTED BY THE SANTA BARBARA CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE SANTA BARBARA SYMPHONY
As school closes down for the summer break, Montecito Union students, parents, and staff will wave final goodbyes to beloved lead custodian Donald Scottie Morrison, who will retire after over 30 years at MUS. Scottie is an institution and his legacy of service has left a permanent impression on our school, said Gwyn Lurie, President of the Board of Trustees. Scottie, who is known to be quiet and humble, told the Board the time felt right to move on to the next chapter in his life. I have taken great pride in getting to take care of the children and their families that have come through this school generation after

But the money from the auction has to go to future acquisitions... S.B. in L.A. Rumer Willis, daughter of actor Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, celebrated the one year anniversary of her romance with her The New Normal actor beau Jayson Blair last week, but seemed quite happy to share him at a Direct Relief The Best of Santa Barbara in L.A. bash at the historic Santa Monica home of Fox TV president, Gary Newman, and his entertainment lawyer wife, Jeanne. In a spontaneous gesture actress Rumer, 24, offered up a date with 27-year-old Jayson as a live auction prize, which was snapped up

Last week a Persian rug from the early 17th century, known as the SickleLeaf Carpet, which had belonged to Clark was sold by the gallery for a staggering $33.7 million by Sothebys in New York. The price was a world record and more than three times the previous auction high for a carpet $9.6 million for another Persian work with a blue leaf pattern at Christies in London in April, 2010. The Sickle-Leaf Carpet, with a colorful pattern of swirling vines and

However, the sale to an anonymous telephone bidder wont help the struggling museum, which is housed in a magnificent Beaux Arts building a tiaras toss or two from the White House. The institution has been undergoing well publicized financial woes of late and is hoping to partner in due course with the University of Maryland.

The boffo bash, co-hosted by Jeanne and Dante Di Loreto, executive producer of the hit Fox show Glee, attracted more than 200 guests to the 1930s Art Deco estate, formerly the Cedric Gibbons-designed home of silent film siren Dolores del Rio, and raised more than $250,000 for the popular international non-profit that provides medicines and supplies to impoverished communities around the world. Invitees, including Joe Cohen, Adam Berkowitz, Alex Borstein, Rachael MacFarlane, Dana Walden and R.J. Cutler, enjoyed fine cuisines and award-winning wines local to Santa Barbara County, including popular eateries bouchon and the Wine Cask... Hollywood Hero Magic magnate Milt Larsen is raking in the honors of late. Milt, 82, who owns Hollywoods iconic Magic Castle, was just namedone of the Treasures of Los Angeles, along with opera legend Placido Domingo and baseball broadcasting great Vin Scully, by the Central City Association at a
1,200 guest ceremony at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel. Just a day or two later Milt, a former TV game show writer, was honored, along with cabaret artist Michael Feinstein, with the coveted Diamond Circle Award by the Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters. And last week the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce feted him at its Heroes of Hollywood lunch, at which veteran actress Debbie Reynoldspicked up the Mary Pickford Award. Its always a great honor, Milt tells me from his TV Hill aerie overlooking our Eden by the Beach. Now its about finding the space for them! Father-Daughter Journey After a 33-year schism, a father and daughter have reunited to write a most colorful and emotive 253-page memoir, Parallel Journeys. Santa Barbara-based Kathy Rem reunited with her father, Ray Goodenough, 83, who lives in South Lake Tahoe, in 1995 and have collaborated on their first book. I always wondered where he was, Kathy recalled at a bijou book bash at Tecolote, the tony tome temple in the Upper Village. Then, out of the blue, his wife, Carol, called my brother,

Kenny, and his wife, Shannon, some six months later, called me. Within twenty four hours I got in touch with my dad and he drove to Santa Barbara the next week. Weve never really been separated since! The book took ten years to put together. It was a hard project, but also cathartic says Kathy. Dad had many drug and drink problems, but when we revisited old memories and compared stories, I realized what an incredible parallel journey wed undergone. Sunset Soire Hillside House, the non-profit residential facility for patients with moderate to severe developmental disabilities, held a decidedly bubbly third annual Sunset Soire at El Mirador, the historic 25-acre Montecito estate of Tita Lanning. A record 200 guests turned out for the corker of a bash when champagne expert and former investment banker John Tilson founder of The Underground Wine Letter spoke about the centuries old liquid assets and also provided four flights of smaller brand champagnes for diners to quaff with their macaroni and cheese ramekins, mini turkey burgers and raspberry crme brule.
Executive director Craig Olson presented the People of Purpose Award to George and Marlene Riemer, while board president Jim Wolfe made the introductions. Among the guests were Marie Williams Shipman, Silvio DiLoreto, Norris and Barry Goss, David and Cynthia Ardell, David and Jeanne Hoffman, Richard and Francine Monk, Erik and Dyanne Wipf, and Gerald and Carol Smith. The fun fete raised more than $70,000. Ill drink to that!

Daniel Work welcomes new Troop 33 Scout Hunter Brownell at last weekends bridging ceremony
Assembly of the school year on Friday, June 7. Reynolds, who hired Scottie in the early 1980s, congratulated the usually shy custodian, who stood on stage during a 10-minutelong standing ovation. Former and current teachers, along with members of the PTA, took turns hugging Scottie and thanking him for his service. MUS students wrote Scottie notes of thanks, which were turned into colorful chain links and hung on either side of the auditorium stage. MUS music teacher Pam Herzog helped rewrite a portion of the school song to honor Scottie; the kids stood up and sang while many parents wiped tears from their eyes. Superintendent Tammy Murphy remarked that the time Scottie put into the school makes it unimaginable to think of what the campus would be like without him. It is also impossible to imagine what MUS would be like if he never walked through the doors. He is a Mustang icon and his constant

efforts and work over the years will live beyond his time at MUS, she said. Scottie thanked the MUS community, and told the kids that his energy comes from seeing their smiling faces every day. I will miss working with the teachers and children that make this place special, he said. Murphy tells us she and the Board are planning a ceremony in the fall for Scottie, to dedicate a part of the campus in his honor. We will miss him deeply and will think of him each morning when the flag is raised. We wish him all the health, love and happiness that he deserves, she said.
Montecitos new Boy Scout Troop 33
Troop 33 Returns
A bridging ceremony and BBQ in Manning Park on Sunday, June 9 marked the resurgence of Boy Scouts Troop 33, Montecitos troop for over 75 years. The group, which is the
second oldest in Santa Barbara, was temporarily halted due to lack of youth participation, but a significant surge in new membership has revitalized it, according to Scoutmaster Dave Cantin. With the help of Cantin, and many local volunteers including Jamie Ruffing (Leader Pack 108),
the Troop is back! says the Troops Communication Assistant, Frank Sales. The group had recently merged with Troop 50 from Carpinteria, but ten boys bridged from Cub Scout Troop 108 to Troop 33 on Sunday, bringing up the membership.

Isla Vista At around 8:20 am in the morning, a UCSB student who was walking to campus in the 6700 block of Abrego Road in Isla Vista had her cell phone forcibly ripped out of her hand and stolen. The victim was wearing earphones when the suspect confronted her, grabbed her cell phone and fled on foot. Santa Barbara County Sheriffs Deputies responded, secured a perimeter and brought in Santa Barbara Air Support Unit Copter 2 to help search for the suspect. He was not located. The suspect is described as a collegeaged Hispanic or Asian male about 57 tall with a stocky build. He has dark, medium length hair parted to the side. He was wearing black sunglasses, a black jacket, black shorts and black
shoes. If you have any information on this crime or his whereabouts, you are asked to call the Santa Barbara County Criminal Investigations Division at 805-681-4150. The forcible cell phone theft is the most recent in a string of similar cases in Isla Vista this year. Several of the incidents have occurred in broad daylight in the same general area and have involved female victims walking by themselves and actively using their cell phones. In one case, the victim, who was also wearing earphones, received minor injuries when the suspect forced her to the ground to take her cell phone. Detectives are investigating whether the thefts are related. The Sheriffs Office wants to remind the public that cell phones are expensive, valuable commodities that can be a prime target for thieves. Cities across the globe are reporting an increase in the amount of cell phone related crimes they are seeing. In particular, they are finding what is referred to by some as apple-picking, in which, like purse snatching, cell phones are literally ripped out of the hands of victims. The phones are sold for money and/or used for identity theft purposes. The public is encouraged to take the following safety measures to lessen their chance of becoming a victim and to protect themselves in the event their smart phone is stolen.
1) If you are not using your cell phone, put it in a safe and secure area. 2) If you are using your phone, make sure you are aware of your surroundings. 3) Write down your phones 15-digit serial number so it can be traced back to you in the event it is stolen and recovered. 4) If your phone is stolen, make sure you report the theft right away to law enforcement and your wireless carrier. 5) Make sure you have a security lock and password for your phone, which will make it more difficult for a thief to use your phone and access your information. 6) Never hand your phone over for someone to use and be careful of potential schemes that may be used to distract you and provide an opportunity for a thief to take your phone. For example, someone saying their battery died and asking if they could use your phone or asking you for the time, which will require you to retrieve your phone or look down to check. If you have more questions on cell phone related thefts or safety tips, please contact me directly.

The Write Stuff

by Susan Miles Gulbransen
Susan Miles Gulbransen grew up in Santa Barbara. Her book reviews and InPrint (literary column) ran in the Santa Barbara News-Press for 21 years. She has published a wide range of articles in regional magazines and currently leads workshops for the Santa Barbara Writers Conference.
hy would anyone open a bookstore in todays business and publishing climate? For Emmet McDonough and Sharon Hoshida, the answer is simple: the Santa Barbara community. They will prove their point on June 20 when Granada Books, 1224 State Street, opens as a full-service general bookstore. Family friends since their sons met in elementary school, McDonough and Hoshida have shared books and appreciation for bookstores. A retired corporate director and local resident since 1995, he says, For over one hundred years Santa Barbara had bookstores downtown. I was distraught when Borders and then Barnes & Noble closed in 2011, although the used bookstores stayed open [The Book Den, once strictly a used-book seller, has carried newly published books and best sellers since the big chains folded]. How can we not have a full-service bookstore downtown in this beautiful city thats culturally rich
Santa Barbaras Newest Bookstore
with a high education level? Hoshida, retired as Acting Director of UCSBs Womens Center and community activist since moving here in 1970 says, Each of us has emotional connections and personal stories about bookstores and libraries. No big bookstore downtown? How could that be? These discussions took seed last year when McDonough and Hoshida found a large space near the Granada Theatre. McDonough, the business partner, says, We feel it enhances the Cultural Arts District with the Granada Theatre, new Vic Theater [opening in November], Museum of Art and public library within a block of us. That area of State is lively at night. Granada Books will bring in daytime activity and business. The partners give much credit to Craig Springer, Executive Director of the Granada Theatre. He helped with the lease arrangements and paved the way to make possible the 3,300-squarefoot store and 1,700-square-foot court-
yard behind. The outdoor area due to open December 2014 will feature a stage and seating to accommodate up to 100 people for informal book and music events. This will be a place to touch a book, McDonough adds, feel its heft, discover news books while looking for other books and share them with friends. Everyone can explore, learn and gather, sometimes with live music. While talking over coffee, I could not help but wonder why anyone would open a bookstore in this economic climate. They both jumped to answer. We feel its the right time, place and location to open, Hoshida says. The extensive childrens area will have thick, soft carpet squares to make it inviting for families. Well highlight local treasures and authors. Weve already planned an event with Santa Barbaras present and past Poet Laureates reading their poems about bookstores. Our knowledgeable staff can find information about almost any topic and be on the cutting edge of every genre, especially on Tuesdays when new releases are announced. These advantages arent online. Were using a different business model, a hybrid thats working at Charis Books & More in Atlanta and Keplers Books in Menlo Park,
California, McDonough explains. We have two organizations: the commercial Granada Books and nonprofit Pomegranate Arts, which will run and fund events in the store and courtyard. A good bookstore should do more than put books on the shelf and ring up sales. Ours will provide a vibrant community place. Thats where Pomegranate Arts comes in. It will use the bookstore as a venue for performances, gatherings, presentations, entertainment and social space for education, literary, cultural and entertainment events. Well have book-related signings, readings, literary presentations and discussions. Granada Books and Pomegranate Arts are separate entities, but both will focus on increasing literacy, celebrating our multicultural heritage and showcasing local and emerging talent as well as established professionals. McDonough sits back with a sheepish look. Im not sure why were doing this. Were at retirement age. We dont know much about running a bookstore and common sense tells us we shouldnt be doing this. But we have to. Want to. We have a great team and think the Santa Barbara community will respond. Besides, sales of hard print books are actually up, not much, but no longer sliding down. We think this is a good time to try. MJ

Cantin, who chatted with us during the recent bridge ceremony, says scouting is a year-round program for boys ages 11 to 17, designed to build future community leaders. The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nations largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations, he said. We provide a program for young people that builds character, develops personal fitness, and trains them in the responsibilities of citizenship. The Boy Scouts program is over 100 years old. Troop 33 is chartered by Our Lady of Mount Carmel and is open to any boy in the Santa Barbara area. Pack 108 is the Cub Scout Pack in Montecito. Eleven boys bridged from Pack 108 to Troop 33, includ-
ing Jamie Borghesani, Ian Brown, Hunter Brownell, Adam Coffin, Justin Coffin, Nicholas Dyruff, Jack Lufkin, Mac Sales, Ben Work, and Luke Williams. (Scout Matthew Helkey bridged from Pack 108 to join his older brothers in Troop 1.) Existing boys in Troop 33 include Miles Hogan, Senior Patrol Leader, Daniel Work, Patrol Leader, and Jack Cantin, Patrol Leader. During the bridging ceremony, the boys individually walked from the Cub Scout side with their badge blankets draped over them, where they were received by the elder boys scouts and leaders of their new troop. All of the Cub Scouts of Pack 108 that bridged over received the highest recognition in Cub Scouts, the Arrow of Light, in a special ceremony. The
Arrow of Light Award is the only Cub Scout badge that you can wear on the Boy Scout uniform. As they work on the Arrow of Light Award, they practice outdoor skills, get physically fit, and learn more about citizenship and working with others. All of these things prepare them for the next stage of Scouting, Cantin said. The Boy Scouts participate in several community events in Montecito, including Beautification Day and the Village Fourth parade; they also sell Christmas trees at a lot in Carpinteria. Pre-orders for Christmas trees will
take place on July 4 at the Scouts snow-cone stand in Lower Manning Park. The Boy Scouts are a non-profit organization, and are currently in need of updated gear. This Sunday, June 16, marks the return of the Boy Scouts to their weekly meeting at the Upper Manning Youth Center. Meetings run from 4 pm to 5:30 pm every Sunday. Interested boys and their parents are invited to attend a meeting, or contact Dave Cantin at scubadc@aol. com. MJ
compiled by Kelly Mahan from information supplied by Santa Barbara County Sheriffs Department Monday, 27 May 5:55 am Deputy Tchobanoff was dispatched to Lillie Avenue for a vehicle burglary. The reporting party said her husband had parked the car near the hotel where they were staying. The woman went out to the car to retrieve a baby bottle when she realized the windows of the vehicle were smashed. A laptop, camera, and a camera case were stolen. A report was taken. Tuesday, 28 May 3:50 pm Deputy Johnson was dispatched to a school on La Paz Road regarding a vandalism to a vehicle. The victim said he had parked his car in the schools parking lot and when he returned he noticed acrylic paint had been poured on his bumper. He was able to wipe off most of the paint, but some of it did cause permanent damage. A report was requested for insurance purposes. Friday, 7 June, 6 pm California Highway Patrol officers arrested three alleged gang members from Oxnard after a two-hour high-speed chase. The incident began in Buellton, when a driver failed to stop after a CHP unit attempted to pull him over on Highway 101. Officers stopped chasing him down the highway towards Santa Barbara, due to safety concerns and rush hour traffic; a helicopter was enlisted to track the vehicle into Montecito. The driver abandoned the vehicle, which was reportedly stolen, in the parking lot of the Montecito Country Mart on Coast Village Road; the suspects fled into the nearby residential neighborhood. Officers from the CHP and the Santa Barbara Police and Santa Barbara County Sheriffs departments, aided by K-9 units and helicopters, conducted a search of the area, until all three suspects were taken into custody. Two suspects were apprehended on Palm Tree Lane, while one was found at a home he had broken into on Hot Springs Road. All three suspects were booked into Santa Barbara County Jail. MJ

Coming FrackNation

& Going
by James Buckley
Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer she from the Republic of Ireland, he from Northern Ireland are the FrackNation documentarians that graced the Reagan Ranch Center recently
hy do you rob a bank? Because thats where the money is. Why do you sue an oil and gas company? Because thats where the money is, intones filmmaker Phelim McAleer after the screening of FrackNation at the Ronald Reagan Ranch Center run by the Young Americas Foundation just across from the Santa Barbara railroad station. The hour-and-a-half documentary was put together by Northern Ireland-born McAleer and his Donnegal-born-and-bred wife, Ann McElhinney; the voluble and highly entertaining pair were also responsible for two other documenta-
ries: Not Evil Just Wrong and Mine Your Own Business. FrackNation has been viciously attacked by lets call them the Establishment Left, the folks behind Gasland I and II, two documentaries decrying the fracking revolution taking place, particularly in the United States and specifically in the small town of Dimock, Pennsylvania. FrackNation is McAleers and McElhinneys response to Gaslands rather sensational depiction of a homeowner lighting the water from his tap and blaming it on water so toxic and full of methane as a result of fracking. The fact that both Pennsylvania EPA officials

and U.S. EPA officials found nothing wrong with the water in the home after exhaustive tests is apparently of no consequence to Josh Fox, director of Gasland. Nearby residents claim their water has always contained high levels of methane and document that with stories from newspapers from the 1950s. Journalists are not stenographers, McAleer opines as he and Ann sat on stage to take questions from an audience of nearly 100 after the screening of their film. He insisted they need to ask more questions. As an example of journalistic sheepishness, Phelim points out that when the Pennsylvania homeowner whose tap water erupted in flames after being prompted by a butane lighter claimed he had discovered, after testing, all kinds of chemicals in his water, including two different types of weaponsgrade uranium, no one challenged him. McAleer insists such a thing is not only implausible but also laughable and suggests that if indeed true, Iranian officials should simply visit Western Pennsylvania and pick up what they need for their nuclear program. Phelim McAleer is the irascible journalist who dared ask An Inconvenient Truth author Al Gore some difficult questions at a Society of Environmental Journalists function. Curiously, it was fellow journalists who seemed at least as outraged as the former Vice President at McAleers cheeky question about some major errors in Al Gores film, and who cut off McAleers mic and ushered him out of the conference. It is understandable that Phelim may have little respect for most of his professional peers. Environmental journalists, unfortunately, he said to host Neil Cavuto on Fox News after the kerfuffle, tend to be environmentalists rather than journalists. Theyve never found an environmental organization thats ever exaggerated, thats ever told a lie. This is Big Environment weve got here, just like Big Business, and they want to rework the American economy. Fracking is the current term for hydraulic fracturing, a method of forcing water into underground formations loaded with oil and gas (but locked into the rock or shale) thereby releasing the oil and gas contained therein. And yes, there are chemicals involved. It is not a new process and has been around for forty or fifty years, McAleer observes. Both McAleer and McElhinney are passionate about what they do and are doing seeking the truth, they say and theyve come to the conclusion that one cant believe a word the environmental lobby says. Its a multimillion-dollar hundreds of millions of dollars movement, Phelim says.
Its a multi-national movement, a political movement an anti-American movement. As a journalist, I just want the truth about Big Environment, the same way that people want the truth about Big Business. The other thing about Big Environment, adds Ann, is that they are one hundred percent unaccountable. As a business you have shareholders, journalists who are up your [hind quarters] and they should be. But no one ever, ever, asks Greenpeace to be accountable. Phelim and Ann intend to be at least two people who will. The Young Americas Foundation has established a remarkable program of speakers mostly conservative that have graced the intimate space at the Reagan Ranch Center. Those speakers have included Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Newt Gingrich, John Stossel, Andrew Breitbart and many others. Lincoln Unbound author and National Review Managing Editor Rich Lowry will speak (and sign books) at a Wendy P. McCaw Roundtable Luncheon at the Ranch Center on Wednesday, June 19. The public is welcome ($45 at the door includes lunch; $35, pre-paid). Please call 805-957-1980 if youd like to attend. Space is probably limited, but these evening talks and roundtable lunches are always stimulating and enjoyable events.
Broth For The Soul
One of three of our favorite humorists Jim Alexander is represented in the latest edition of Jack Canfields wildly successful Chicken Soup For The Soul series, this one sub-headed Inspiration For Writers, so we tracked Jim down in order to conduct a short interview with the now-famous author. Alexander has been writing his once-a-month column n.o.t.e.s. from downtown for Montecito Journal for going on 17 years and Canfields series has been ongoing for nearly 20 years, so we figured Jack and Jim were old friends, or at least longtime acquaintances. We asked the rotund writer if that were so and were surprised at his answer. I do not know him at all, Alexander says over a leisurely cup of double espresso at Pierre Lafond in the upper village. I sent a story to him once many years ago and I got close. I even wrote a column that suggested there are so many Chicken Soup books now that they should call it Chicken Broth because it was getting a little watered down. Jack read it in the Montecito Journal, sent me a letter, and Ive got to admit, he had a sense of humor about it. It was [MJ humor columnist] Ernie Witham whose stories have been 13 20 June 2013
Longtime MJ columnist Jim Alexander can always be counted on to turn in entertaining copy; his short inspirational story Write From The Start appears in the latest Chicken Soup For The Soul edition
in several Chicken Soup books who told me they had something coming up Inspiration For Writers and he suggested I send something in. I think I sent it over a year and a half ago. So, I asked Jim, youve had a number of meetings with Jack since then, right? No. Never. I still havent met him, he responds. Our thinking here is that if he reads this in the Montecito Journal, Canfield will call me at 805565-1860 and have us put him in touch
with Alexander. Maybe we can even record the encounter for posterity. Jim Alexander is and has been working on a couple books but says he has run into not a writers block, but a roadblock. I cant find a publisher. I cant find an agent, he wails. Its hard nowadays, so I may go e-book or publish it myself. Jim admits that hes not much of a salesman, so becom-

End of an Era It was a tale of two distinct emotions as the Ensemble Theatre performed its last production at the venerable Alhecama Theatre after 34 years in the rustic space before moving to its new home at the larger, remodeled New Vic in December. But Tony Award-winning playwright Terrence McNallys bittersweet romantic comedy Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, directed by Saundra McClain, featuring Rick Gifford and Dee Ann Newkirk as two New York coffee shop workers and unlikely lovers in a Hells Kitchen walkup in the 80s, was a fitting farewell after so many joyous and successful productions. Both principals rose to the emotional challenges, with Gifford playing an ex-con trying to get his life back on track, while Newkirk, after a vigorous one night stand, clearly doubts it

MONTECITO JOURNAL

EDITORIAL (Continued from page 5)

Schwartz to send Caltrans a Thanks, but no thanks message. In response, Montecito widening funds were ultimately diverted by Caltrans to other projects. The result of the 1993 decision is todays ugly, crumbling, congested 101 roadway, which serves not only as an unattractive gateway to Montecito, but as our local lifeline. We are now faced with a narrow 101 right-of-way through Montecito that could have been widened at that time, but now is so narrow that it degrades traffic safety, reduces speed of travel and limits options to improve its aesthetic beauty..
The motion was supported by Carbajal, Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider, the Mayors of Lompoc, Solvang and Santa Maria, and Council members from Carpinteria and Buellton. These local leaders were not swayed by the need to move forward on regional solutions, viewed as a priority by the four County Supervisors.
Eliminate the Proposed HOV lanes in Montecito
The Community Coalition Alternative Plan (CCAP)
The MA Community Coalition under the leadership of Bob Short, has spent many hours over the past months with highway engineers and consultants to design an alternative plan for widening the 101, the centerpiece of which is the retention of existing left lane ramps: two at the Cabrillo Blvd interchange and two at the Sheffield Drive interchange. The MA Community Coalition premise is that their alternative will cost much less, take only 19 months to build (versus the estimated 51 months for the Caltrans plan), and perhaps most importantly, cause far less business and community disruption than the Caltrans plan. Last October, SBCAG asked Caltrans to carefully evaluate the CCAP. In response, a team of 10 Caltrans engineers and staff members studied the possibility of granting a left lane ramp exception for Montecito. The Caltrans team took issue with the MA Community Coalition claim that their alternative saved taxpayers $60 million, took 32 months less time to build and caused far less disruption for local residents and businesses. According to Caltrans, both plans would cost a similar amount, and its engineering study found no advantage for the MA CCAP based on either anticipated cost savings, or a shorter construction time or less community disruption.
There was general agreement that starting and stopping the HOV lanes south of Sheffield made practical sense, and would give the MA Community Coalition and the Montecito community a big win. Caltrans agreed to enter into conversations to eliminate part-time HOV lanes in Montecito. This would be a fair compromise and worthwhile, if politicians can be persuaded to rethink promises they made to environmentalists and voters to offer an HOV lane and a train to win passage of Measure A funding.
Include the CCAP in the Certified EIR
Since Caltrans evaluation of the MA CCAP has already been completed, their entire work product can be included in the certified EIR. However, Dougherty indicated that the final EIR would include a rejection of the MA Coalition plan to retain left-lane ramps, consistent with the rejection of six other alternatives with left-lane ramps, all set aside for the same reason.
Re-circulate the EIR, if necessary
Left Lane Ramps at Cabrillo Blvd and Sheffield Drive
The current left-lane ramps at Sheffield have lower than state average accident rates, and no recorded deaths. However, the accident rate for the northbound left lane off-ramp at the Hot Springs-Cabrillo interchange is 1.35 times the state average, and the accident rate for the southbound left lane off-ramp at that interchange is 1.5 times the statewide average, according to Caltrans Scott Eades, who points out that the accident rate data is for the current two-lane configuration, not for the proposed faster-moving three-lane widened configuration, which he says would be even more dangerous. Said Eades, Left lane ramps are not an acceptable solution in current highway design standards. The California Department of Transportation, Highway Design Manual, 2012, reads, All freeway entrances and exits shall connect to the right of through traffic (504.2). He added, Historical data shows that left-side ramps have the highest accident rates, more than double that of all other types including cloverleafs, diamonds, trumpet, loop and hook ramps. Dougherty was even more specific: The Montecito Community Coalition alternative will be ruled out in the certified EIR for the same reason that six of the twenty alternatives for the Cabrillo interchange were previously ruled out; left-lane ramps do not meet current highway safety standards. Caltrans policy is to replace left-lane ramps with right-lane ramps every chance we get to improve highway safety. He added, I will not sign off on an exception for left-lane ramps in Montecito because statewide statistics show that left-lane ramps in general have double the accident rates of right-lane ramps. Safe highway design is important to the State of California, to the 100,000 daily users of the 101 and to all residents of Santa Barbara County, including Montecito. Dougherty told the largely Montecito audience and the SBCAG Board what many of them did not want to hear: that Caltrans would not grant Montecito an exception for left-lane on-off ramps. He noted that he has spoken with the Governor who has acknowledged that this is a matter for Caltrans to decide as an issue of engineering and highway safety. Both 2nd District Supervisor Janet Wolf and 5th District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino voiced opposition to the CCAP. Wolf noted, We are behaving like children. How many times does a mother have to say No, no, and no, before the child gets the message that no means no? Lavagnino added, I cant support any motion that includes more expenditures of time and money trying to get an exception for left-lane ramps in Montecito that compromise public safety. First District Supervisor Salud Carbajal opined that he and his constituents want to move forward, but we are not quite there yet. Carbajal offered a three-part motion, requested by the MA Community Coalition: (1) start and stop the HOV Lane south of the Sheffield interchange; (2) include the Montecito Community Coalition plan evaluation in the certified EIR; and (3) re-circulate the EIR, if necessary. Carbajals three-part motion was approved on a 7-6 vote. The motion did not garner any votes from the four other County Supervisors, all of whom saw it as an unnecessary and expensive delaying tactic. The motion was also opposed by the SBCAG Chair, Roger Aceves, Mayor of Goleta, and by Frances Romero, Mayor of Guadalupe.
What is the meaning of if necessary in the Carbajal motion? As the lead agency, is it Caltrans decision alone whether or not to re-circulate an EIR? Will the project retain the name South Coast 101 HOV Lanes Project as requested by SBCAG? Will the MA Community Coalition threaten a lawsuit if Caltrans finds it unnecessary to re-circulate another EIR? Does this mean two more years of delay to re-circulate a new EIR with additional public comment periods? Would such a delay mean the Montecito widening project would not have a certified EIR in time for the 2015 release of highway federal funding? Without a shovel-ready project, would Montecito lose out on possible funding?
Cabrillo Blvd Interchange: What Will it Look Like?
It now seems likely that Caltrans will propose a Cabrillo interchange, located within the City of Santa Barbara, that contains three lanes in each direction, plus four right-lane ramps in a traditional diamond format, if Mayor Schneider and her transportation advisors concur. Southbound on the 101 at Hot Springs-Cabrillo, a new right-lane off-ramp will replace the current left-lane off-ramp. The inadequate and undersized off-ramp at Los Patos will be closed. To the great relief of the Los Patos business community, closing the Los Patos off-ramp will put an end to consideration of Los Patos Way as a future southbound on-ramp. Northbound, a new right-lane off-ramp will replace the current left-lane offramp. It will convey beach-bound traffic directly onto Cabrillo Blvd, bypassing and lightening the load on the Montecito roundabout. The current Hermosillo Drive off-ramp will be preserved for local residents, thanks to JAmy Brown and Martha Siegel and their coalition of Middle Road-Hermosillo neighbors, who convinced Caltrans engineers to abandon their earlier plan to use Hermosillo as the main northbound off-ramp, resulting in the F-modified alternative. The current northbound 101 on-ramp at Cabrillo will remain as is. Mayor Schneider of Santa Barbara has secured SBCAG funding to study the engineering design for widening the Union Pacific Railroad underpass on Cabrillo, which would greatly reduce the current Cabrillo backup by adding two additional traffic lanes, safer bike path lanes and safer pedestrian pathways. If successful in her negotiations, this much-needed local improvement would be a worthy achievement. All of Montecito should support the Mayors plan to widen the Cabrillo railroad bridge, which will greatly improve traffic flow and safety.
Urge Mayor Schneider to Support a Southbound On-Ramp at Cabrillo
The MA Community Coalition alternative does not include a southbound onramp at Cabrillo. Mayor Schneider has expressed uncertainty about the need for a proposed Caltrans southbound right-side on-ramp at Cabrillo to replace the left-side ramp closed during the Milpas construction. Her first question to Malcolm Dougherty at the SBCAG hearing was, What is the technical need for a southbound on-ramp at Cabrillo Blvd? Caltrans did not have the answer, but has since responded: 3,200 cars per day used the now closed left lane Cabrillo on-ramp in 2005; the traffic count for this ramp rose to 4,450 vehicles by 2008. That equates to 1.62 million cars and trucks per year entering the southbound 101 at Cabrillo five years ago. At least some portion of these 1.62 million cars and trucks now slog along Coast Village Road to enter the southbound 101 at Olive Mill. Coast Village Road has experienced added traffic resulting from the Cabrillo southbound on-ramp closure. Cars and trucks that would have entered the southbound 101 at Cabrillo, have been re-routed through Coast Village and onto the 101 on-ramp at Olive Mill. Many residents have avoided shopping on Coast Village Road during peak travel times because of the gridlock. Montecito 13 20 June 2013
residents need to urge Mayor Schneider to support a replacement of the closed southbound on-ramp at Cabrillo.
Olive Mill Interchange
Mayor Schneider would like to assist her business constituents on Coast Village Road by securing financing from SBCAG for a new roundabout at the 5-way intersection of Coast Village Road, Olive Mill and North Jameson. Like the current roundabout at the other end of Coast Village Road, this would have minimum impact on 101 traffic flow, but it could increase efficiencies for local drivers. Although space is barely adequate to complete this roundabout, those who are comfortable with Montecitos existing roundabout should endorse this effort as a way to improve local traffic flow at this intersection.

Community Coalition Plan Moves Forward
Sheffield Interchange
Rumors of permanent closure of Sheffield on-ramps and off-ramps have been greatly exaggerated. According to Caltrans, the left-side southbound off-ramp at Sheffield and the uphill southbound left-side on-ramp will be replaced with right-lane on- and off-ramps that meet todays safety engineering and design standards. On-off ramp access at Sheffield will be available throughout the duration of scheduled construction. In addition, thanks to the efforts of the MA Community Coalition, Caltrans has agreed to preserve to the greatest extent possible, the aesthetic beauty of what is arguably one of the most visually scenic interchanges on the entire 1,300 mile length of the 101. Preserving coastal views at this interchange and improving outside landscaping in a restrained corridor will take cooperation, compromise and community partnership. This needs to be a priority effort.
San Ysidro Interchange
The southbound on-ramp to the 101 at San Ysidro is arguably the most inadequate and dangerous southbound interchange throughout the entire corridor. There is currently no Caltrans or SBCAG funding to improve the San Ysidro interchange. There is an established procedure for getting supplemental SBCAG project funding. It is the same procedure used by Mayor Schneider to receive funding for an additional bridge at Milpas; for widening the railroad underpass at Cabrillo, or for funding a new roundabout at Olive Mill. To address the San Ysidro interchange, the County and SBCAG need to put together a design team of staff people who would suggest alternative design solutions. SBCAG would then evaluate a San Ysidro supplemental request in competition with other requests and either approve or deny funding. Each of these improvements may require its own supplemental EIR study. The obstacles to improving the San Ysidro interchange are many. Traffic at the San Ysidro southbound on-ramp will be greatly increased if and when Rick Caruso decides to build the Miramar Beach Resort. Caruso has spent millions on design review and entitlements. Proposals to carve into the Miramar site for right-of-way space for an improved San Ysidro southbound on-ramp would force the Miramar entitlement process to begin anew, which would be a calamity for the Caruso team. An even tougher obstacle for improving the southbound on-ramp at San Ysidro are the four homes on Posilipo Lane, one with an historic designation, tucked behind a wall at the existing San Ysidro ramp entrance. Try eminent domain proceedings on the historic home at 1637 Posilipo, or its three neighbors at 1639, 1641 and 1645, if you want to face years of courtroom misery.
Montecito Associations Role
The MA Community Coalition has waged a formidable battle to retain current left-lane ramps in Montecito and should be proud of its efforts. The commitment by Dougherty, however, that he will never grant a left-lane exception for Montecito due to engineering and safety concerns, presents a major obstacle to a positive outcome. The coalition can take credit for possible elimination of HOV lanes through Montecito, its pressure on Caltrans to keep all ingress and egress ramps of 101 open during construction and enhanced beautification funding. In any case, we urge the Montecito Association Coalition to continue its involvement with Caltrans and SBCAG to provide local input and knowledge; to continue to develop engineering solutions at San Ysidro, Olive Mill and Sheffield; and to join in supporting a new, right-hand on-ramp at Cabrillo Blvd to relieve the unbearable traffic jams Caltrans has created through Coast Village Road when it removed the left-lane southbound on-ramp at Cabrillo. The EIR process is now mired in an irreconcilable dispute over the retention of four left-side ramps. Is it better to accept Caltrans decision and work cooperatively to get the widening job done at the least cost in the shortest amount of time with the least community disruption, or should MA continue to pursue what I consider its Quixotic fight, with little chance of winning and a big risk of creating interminable delays, higher costs and failure to obtain federal and state funding? The decisions made surrounding the proposed widening issues will affect the quality of life for all of us for the next 30 years, so it is important for residents to fully understand the detailed issues and the choices before us. MJ 13 20 June 2013
coalition of community members working with the Montecito Association has been advocating for the inclusion of local knowledge and local needs in the Caltrans plan for a third lane on Highway 101 through the Montecito corridor. That effort gained momentum at the May 16 meeting of the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) when the majority of SBCAG directors voted in favor of a motion to 1) Start the planned HOV (carpool) lane south of Montecito; 2) Include the coalitions alternative plan in the final EIR; and 3) Request recirculation of the draft EIR. These steps will ensure that local decision makers will have a say in what ultimately happens in this critical section of highway that runs through Montecito and into Santa Barbara. The current Caltrans approach adds a third lane for use by carpools from Cabrillo-Hot Springs to Carpinteria and totally reconstructs the Cabrillo-Hot Springs and Sheffield interchanges. Unfortunately, it ignores and fails to address issues at the substandard Olive Mill and San Ysidro interchanges; including the dangerous onramp at Posilipo Lane. The community coalition has been advocating for an alternative plan that meets the goal of congestion relief by adding a regular third lane but does so in a shorter time frame and at a lower cost, all while preserving much of the scenic character of the highway corridor and avoiding the demolition and reconstruction of three major highway bridges. Furthermore, it addresses the safety and operational problems that currently exist at Olive Mill and San Ysidro. At the SBCAG meeting, Caltrans responded negatively to the community alternative, largely because of their policy of eliminating fast-lane off- and on-ramps from the highway system. Caltrans presented revisions to their original plan that they claim will enable them to keep ramps open during construction, and compress the construction time by almost 50 percent at Cabrillo-Hot Springs. No engineering details were offered to demonstrate how this would be accomplished. Caltrans Director, Malcolm Dougherty, was in attendance to state Caltrans policy position. He repeatedly said he would not sign off on any exception that contained left-hand ramps. He made this declaration despite the fact that he had before him a detailed engineering study, which neither he nor his staff had yet reviewed. He stopped short of threatening to abandon the project. The community coalition presented an independent engineering study that evaluates the feasibility of a design exception to allow retention of the left-hand ramps. This engineering study made clear that the left-side ramps at Cabrillo-Hot Springs and Sheffield can meet both the Federal and State criteria for design exceptions. An interesting piece of information that emerged clarifies just who is going to pay for this project. Previously, Caltrans representatives and SBCAG staff have stated that the project costs are divided roughly evenly between local (Measure A sales tax revenue) and State and Federal funds. Supervisor Carbajal shed light on the matter by disclosing that two-thirds of the funds will come from local sources (Measure A, plus the local gas tax revenues normally used for road maintenance). He also noted that the necessary Federal funding has not yet been secured. This information bolsters the view of many that local decision makers should have a larger voice in determining the right project for the greater Santa Barbara community. Ultimately, the Directors approved a motion requesting that the HOV lane start south of Sheffield Drive, that the Community Coalitions Alternative Plan be fully reviewed in the draft environmental impact report and that this report be reissued. The Coalition views this as a very positive step toward the inclusion of more options from which local decision makers can customize the final project design to better meet local as well as regional needs. Caltrans may be responsible for the project but the local communities will have to live with the results. I am grateful for the support of Mayor Schneider, Supervisor Carbajal and numerous community members. We will continue to work with local decision makers to obtain the best outcome available to the residents and businesses of the South Coast. MJ MONTECITO JOURNAL

Twenty Feet from Stardom Opens This Weekend
by Ann Pieramici
Gil Friesen (far right) and Merry Clayton (second from right) with friends back in the day
he film, Twenty Feet from Stardom, which chronicles the lives of six female background singers, opens nationally in theaters this Friday, June 14, however the movie enjoyed an early screening this past March in Montecito, thanks to a connection that the producer and director share with Crane Country Day School. The film is the brainchild of late entertainment executive, former Montecito resident and Crane dad, Gil Friesen, and was directed by Crane Country Day School alum Morgan Neville (Crane 81). It was a trip to be back at Crane in the same auditorium where I screened my Super 8 movies, laughed Neville, who says he was always a movie and music fanatic. Neville has graduated from the homemade zombie
movies of his teens to polished profiles of producers and songwriters who helped shape 20th century music. His company, Tremolo Productions, is widely regarded as a top producer of cultural documentary films. Neville chose Crane, the school he attended from second through eighth grade, to preview his film because of the significance the school holds for both him and the movies producer, Gil Friesen. Friesens son Theo attends second grade (younger sister Uma is just three years old). Friesen passed away this past December at the age of 75 from complications of leukemia and his wife, Janet, says the screening was a wonderful way to welcome the family back to the community after taking the year off to care for her husband. Friesen and Neville realized their
Former Montecito resident and Crane Country Day School alum Morgan Neville shines a light on singer Merry Clayton in his new documentary, Twenty Feet from Stardom.Clayton has sung back up to such recording legends as Neil Young, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bobby Darin, but she is best known as the diva who duets with Mick Jagger in the original 1969 rendition of Gimme Shelter.
Fresh Local Cuisine
Montecito connection when Friesen, former president of A&M Records, contacted the award-winning documentary filmmaker about his movie. Neville says he only knew Friesen by reputation, but when they started talking and made the Crane connection, it was an instant bond that may very well have helped cement the deal. The movie, which documents the true stories of background singers behind some of the greatest musical legends of our time, particularly resonated with Friesen and Neville, because, as Neville explained, We saw something of our own lives in these backup artists. As president of A&M Records for more than a decade, Friesen spent his life in the backdrop, making artists shine, while Neville devoted his career to telling other peoples stories. Neville says he never could have imagined that this aspect of the film the laboring in the shadows of others would resonate so deeply with audiences around the country. Since the films premiere at Sundance, there are at least six back-
ground singers who have now stepped into the spotlight. The film profiles Merry Clayton, Lisa Fischer, Judith Hill, Claudie Lennear, Darlene Love and Tata Vega, the voices behind such musical masters as Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger and Sting. Judith Hill recently competed on the hit television show, The Voice. Darlene Love, who spent 26 years singing in the background of David Lettermans Christmas Show, is re-releasing her Best Of album and finally getting a seat on the talk shows couch. And Merry Clayton, best known for her Gimme Shelter duet with Mick Jagger is now headlining at private events and making her rounds on the talk show circuit. Neville says he interviewed at least 60 male and female singers and selected these six for the evenness they provided. It was really about trying to find a balance of great characters with amazing voices who intersect with pop music history in some way and whose stories build upon the others, explained Neville. This was no easy task but thanks to the extraordinary relationships that Friesen built over the course of his career, he was able to access archival footage and original music, interspersed with intimate interviews with recording legends. Twenty Feet from Stardom, which took nearly two years to make, was the first film to sell after premiering at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. The Weinstein Company purchased the rights to distribute it nationally and the film has already received rave reviews. Its been hailed by the Los Angeles Times critic as irresistible and an exhilarating documentary by Rolling Stone. Friesen finished the final credits from his hospital room, but passed away before the movie opened on the big screen. Gil knew the odds of getting selected to open Sundance were extremely small, notes his widow, Janet. He knew that it would be big and that made him very happy. Neville adds, Gil was a visionary leader; he knew better than I did that this film would be a success. Its been suggested that the movie, embarked on during the final phase of Friesens life, could very well be his lasting legacy. And no doubt, an opportunity for him to shine. MJ

Ernies World
by Ernie Witham
y wife worries about me. Guess I cant blame her. Over the years shes seen me through a bit of thick and a lot of thin. You sure youll be okay, she asked months ago when she was signing up for a French Intensive course. Me? Yeah, sure. Ill be gone three weeks... No problem. ...In another country so I cant just come home and, you know, drive you to the emergency room again, or make sure the stove and faucet are off again, or explain things to the police department again or... Walk in the park. Well, if you do walk in the park please remember to bring the dog home this time. Dog. Got it. As I said, that was months ago. So recently when she said: Remember, you have to get up at 4:30 tomorrow morning to drive me to the airport. I casually replied: Huh? Airport? What? French Intensive. Trois Rivieres.

University of Quebec. I thought you already did that. You thought I was gone three weeks when I wasnt? Err... Somewhere a synapse fired just in time. I mean, ha-ha, got cha. So off she went leaving me in charge. Fortunately, she left me a lengthy list, which I started perusing: Trash goes out on Monday nights. Gardens need watering every Wednesday. Car needs gas when the needle drops to a quarter tank, not when it ceases going forward on the freeway... It all seemed doable so I went about my business, which, because my wife was gone, consisted mainly of sitting around in my underwear watching sports, drinking beer and eating all the stuff she left for me. Fast forward eight days. What happened to all the food? I glanced at the list again. On page three it said: buy groceries as needed. I scoured the cupboard. There was one can of reduced salt organic pea soup and a package of spotted blue bread. I opened the fridge. There were
three bottles of beer, some cheese that matched the bread, and something in a Tupperware bowl that said: Eat Immediately. I sniffed it. When I came to I tossed the Tupperware bowl toward the overflowing trash (did I miss Monday?) and headed off to the store. Halfway there I realized I forgot to put on pants. I wondered briefly (so to speak) if anyone would notice. Maybe I could wrap myself in recycling bags. Or use several carts.
On page six it said: Do laundry as needed. For heavens sake, some of these items should have been boldfaced!
I decided to race home and get dressed. I scoured my closet. Empty. There was a mound of items on the floor that looked like they had gotten into a barroom brawl. I perused the list again. On page six it said: Do laundry as needed. For heavens sake, some of these items should have been boldfaced! It took several minutes to find the laundry room. My wife had briefed me on the equipment something about
pressing only certain buttons and using something sparingly. Water? I turned the water dial to low, crammed as much stuff as would fit, then put the rest on top so the lid would stay closed. I press a button and a green light came on. Wow that was easy. I found some yoga pants in my wifes closet. They were a bit snug oomph, errgg, umphhh but my butt looked impressive in them. I went back out to the car. It wasnt there. Had I left it running? Did I put it in park? Did I ever put gas in it? No! Ha! I walked down the block to the neighbors house. Sure enough there it was safely on his lawn. Seeing as how you cant mow right now anyway, can I borrow the gas from your mower? When I got home I noticed how yellow all the plants looked. Odd? Im not supposed to water until... Wait, what day is it? I had trouble getting the front door open because the washing machine for some reason had left the laundry room and was now bouncing around the hall. My phone rang. Bonjour, my wife said. How are things going? I was about to say fine when my phone went blank. I perused page nine: Be sure to charge your cell phone. Oh well. Ill bet if I toast that bread itll be just like new. MJ

My Fair Lady for One Show Only
wo-time Tony Award winner Jonathan Pryce received rave reviews for his portrayal of Henry Higgins, the snobby phonetics professor who falls for a poor Cockney flower girl who hes teaching proper English in order to win a bet, when he played the iconic role for 14 months back in 2001. Now the very versatile Welsh actor is revisiting the role in a special concert presentation of My Fair Lady Sunday, June 16 at the Granada Theatre, just the second place its being performed followed a hugely successful benefit show at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Tony Award nominee Marcia Milgrom Dodge directs the one-afternoon-only event that also stars Tony Award winner Gregory Jbara as Alfred P. Doolittle, Olivier Award winner Laura Michelle Kelly as Eliza Doolittle, Academy Award and multiple Emmy Award winner Cloris Leachmanas Mrs. Higgins, Kennedy Centers Follies cast memberFlorence Laceyas Mrs. Pearce, Max von Essenas Freddy Eynsford-Hill, and Michael Yorkas Colonel Pickering. The famous original score will be performed by theSanta Barbara Symphony conducted by James Moore. Pryce talked about the concert and more in a telephone interview from his London home late last week.

stressing. Im enjoying it immensely. And they are such wonderful songs with great lyrics so its a joyful experience to do it again.
God of Carnage Debuts
What are the highlights of the show for you? The song that made me love the show when I did it at the Hollywood Bowl was Ive Grown Accustomed to Her Face. Its one of the great musical theater pieces because its got everything in it. A great tune, terrific lyrics, its very romantic and its also very angry. So thats my favorite one. Can you talk about your chemistry with actress Laura Michelle Kellywho plays Eliza? Did you worked together for a time in London? We didnt. Laura played Eliza after I left the production. She did it with Anthony Andrews. But I went back to see it after I left and she was then and is now quite wonderful in the role. Shes got a great singing voice, she can really act and shes got a great sense of humor, too. So its been a lot of fun. A bit different than from your first goround, when there was the Eliza debacle or how shall we put it? some controversy with the actress back in the original production in the West End. I read that you suffered during all the turmoil. How does that all play out in retrospect for you? Yeah, I did. When I did it originally, I had a succession of four Elizas over the run of the year because the actress who was originally cast kept not showing up. We had to have understudies, and then understudies for the understudies. That kept it fresh. But it was sad at the time, because it did make for quite a stressful run. But the actresses I did play it with were great. They were young and fresh and eager and unrehearsed, going on at a moments notice. The rest of the company was terrific, [so] ultimately it was a great experience. And if anything all the shenanigans focused the rest of us on the production. So it was a great time. I have no regrets But it would be quite something if Laura failed to turn up for the one night. What about working with Cloris Leachman, who plays your mother, Mrs. Higgins? Ive been in awe of her since The Last Picture Show. Thats where I know her from, too. She was extraordinary in that film. I was thrilled with the prospect of meeting and working with her. I dont

know how to describe it. Shes a force to be reckoned with, a loose cannon, with terrific energy and a great sense of humor. A real delight. Her role is cut down quite a lot in the concert (versus the musical), but every line hits home and she gets all the laughs. You are remarkably versatile, with an amazing arc in your career that includes Hamlet and King Lear to Miss Saigon and any number of villains in American action-adventure films. How are you able to adapt so adeptly? I suppose that it goes back to my beginning, the very first theater I worked in, the Everyman in Liverpoool. We did a new play every five weeks and they were by predominantly young writers with a political point of view. We played to an unsophisticated audience who werent in habit of going to theater. So that made for a fearless performance style. There was a wonderful director who constantly encouraged us, and made us unafraid of approaching any kind of work. So you didnt pigeonhole yourself as any kind of actor, you were made to feel you could do anything. Its with that background that I approach things very open-minded. And when I was offered a musical like Miss Saigon, I couldnt see any reason not to do it You just keep moving, trying not to do the same thing over and over again. Im always looking for new things. Whats next? I just did King Lear late last year, so Im still enjoying it and it will be a tough act to follow. I think I want to do a comedy. Ive done funny musicals, but not in a straight play. I want to make people laugh, and make myself laugh, too. My Fair Lady in Concerttakes place
Q. How is this concert version different from the regular musical performance of My Fair Lady? A. You could call it semi-staged: Its all the music, all the songs, and the linking pieces of dialogue are acted out to tell the story. Even the big production numbers things like Im Getting Married in the Morning are fully choreographed. The ensemble dances and sings. So it works incredibly well. And thats because its such a good story. There are no subplots; nothing deviates from the main story so its very easy to follow. It worked incredibly well in Washington. And we will have the full orchestra in Santa Barbara, too. I did the show twelve years ago in London, but I came to it originally from doing a concert performance at the Hollywood Bowl. Thats when I fell in love with the music. So how is it for you to revisit the role that you played for more than a year in London? Its been great! You dont have the pressure of a full production to carry and get through, so its certainly less 13 20 June 2013
Peter Frisch wasnt intending to create a new theater group when he started teaching acting again at his The Frisch Studio shortly after leaving as executive director of the new Granada Theatre a couple of years ago. It wasnt one of my original goals in setting up the studio at all, Frisch said. It was just to do what I love to do and do best teaching and coaching actors. But then a couple of members in his advanced class approached him with an idea. They said, There are so many great actors in the class and nobody knows about it. Why dont we get together and put on some shows ourselves? It took a few months for Frisch to come around, but now The Producing Unit is up and running, a three-headed beast fronted by Frisch along with professional students Bill Egan, who has been involved with local theater for two decades, and Thom Zimerle, a former actor on Broadway and in Los Angeles who took a long hiatus from the business to work in graphic design at ABC-CLIO before the acting bug biting again led him to Frisch. The companys debut comes this weekend with God of Carnage in the first local production of the winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Play. The drama is a battle royale between two sets of couples one of whose sons has injured the others in a schoolyard fight in Brooklyn a comedy of manners, without the manners, if you will. The piece begins quite civilly as the foursome meet for coffee in an apartment, but things descend quickly into raw aggression as the couples battle between and among themselves with verbal and physical violence paralleling and even exacerbating the original incident. Its a very strong and edgy piece, with very literate writing, Frisch said, explaining why God of Carnage which was turned into a 2011 movie directed by Roman Polanski seemed appropriate to launch the company. Theyre upper middle class types who have coffee and dessert, and talk about the recipe, all this polite nonsense before figuring out what to do about their children, said Frisch, who is directing the drama at the Center Stage. But slowly little things are said, defensiveness, attacks and counterattacks come up, and the whole thing devolves into a wild and primitive fest among the four of them.

ontecito is unique, right? Well, maybe. Im back in the small town I love or at least, back in one of the small towns I love. Its always nice to return to this little parcel of paradise by the sea with its welcoming Mediterranean climate, its nearby boutique vineyards and picturesque mountains. Its wonderful to smell the fragrant jasmine again, to see the colorful, showy wisteria draped here and there, and to soak up a little sunshine on one of the beaches. I always enjoy a drive past the many beautiful gracious homes and villas hidden behind high walls with ornate gates. I can hardly wait to frequent the inviting restaurants serving up local seafood specialties, to wander through the farmers market displaying its delectable and artistically-arranged produce, to peek into the many chic luxury shop windows and there is not one traffic light to disrupt the semi-rural character of this town. It certainly is unique a one-of-a-kind locale. Ah, but wait Im not in Montecito. Im not even in California. Im not even in the United Statesof America. Montecito has, in fact, a twin, a

It is also interesting to note that just as Montecito is located a short distance from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the U.S., Cassis is only a couple dozen kilometers from Frances second largest city, Marseille. Its far enough but not too far proximity to Marseille allows Cassis to access the many cultural opportunities offered by its larger nearby neighbor while retaining its charming, more relaxed, fun atmosphere.

LANDSCApE MAiNTENANCE / RESTORATiON
Bordering the Mediterranean Sea in the south of France, this small port town has many of the same attributes of our Montecito. I suppose it shouldnt be all that surprising; the Central Coast of California is often referred to as The American Riviera. Turns out, that is an apt comparison. Cassiss seaside location at the foot of Cap Canaille, one of the highest sea cliffs in Europe, is reminiscent of Montecitos position between the steep Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Both venues boast stunning views of turquoise waters and majestic peaks, and many homes and villas have been built on the hillsides in both areas to take advantage of these panoramas. Perhaps the most obvious similarity between these two towns is their characteristic Mediterranean climate. Cassiss warm, dry summers are generally just a bit warmer and its cool, wet winters just a bit cooler than
The French-American Riviera
Montecitos. It is, however, just as rare to get a glimpse of snow atop Cap Canaille as it is to see snow on Montecito Peak, and when this phenomenon does occur it is sure to make the front page of both the Montecito Journal and La Provence. Since similar climates produce similar vegetation, it is quite common to see many of the same flora in both locales: palm trees, cacti and other succulents, mimosa, jasmine, jade, wisteria, bougainvillea, lantana, lavender, and yes, even the California Golden Poppy, which seems to be very popular in southern France and where it is called thepavot de californie.
Food & Wine
Far Enough But Not Too Far
Official population estimates for Cassis show it to have only a couple thousand less residents than Montecito. Because homes are closer together and apartment living is more common and also because the commercial area is more centralized, Cassis seems like a bigger and busier community. Just as Montecito is made up of an eclectic blend of celebrities, successful business leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, artists and authors, as well as more ordinary folk, so Cassis is known for attracting a similar mlange of residents. Rich and famous but more subdued privileged but more unassuming than their more flashy, ostentatious not-too-distant neighbors in either Beverly Hills or St. Tropez could well describe both communities. On more than one occasion, in fact, I have overheard Cassis being referred to as St. Trop without the attitude.
In town, there is no shortage of cafs and restaurants serving up local fish and seafood specialties. Bouillabaisse is to Cassis what cioppino is to Montecito, and choosing a glass of wine to go with a bouillabaisse or with a bowl of soupe des poissons usually means choosing a local wine. Local wines are not any more difficult to find in Cassis than they are to find in Montecito. Montecito wine connoisseurs need only drive into the nearby Santa Ynez Valley to visit, taste, and eventually purchase wines from any of the Valleys many wineries or simply to visit one of the Montecito wine stores where they are sure to find shelves stocked with a variety of tasty local reds, whites, and ross. In Cassis, its an even easier task, since the vineyards are only steps away, with some of the grapevines almost invading the town center. Degustations of Cassis wines can actually be done on foot although carrying the bottles purchased back home could be a challenge Lots of sunshine, beautiful natural surroundings, good wine, and the parallels between Montecito and Cassis dont end here. These two towns that I call home depending on the season so similar in size, in their orientation to the sea and the mountains, in their climate and vegetation, even in their character and ambience and separated by an entire country and an immense ocean, share many other interesting and often amusing characteristics. Ill tell you more about them in upcoming issues. Until then, there is only one thing to say: bientot. MJ 13 20 June 2013

Westmont Makes Grateful Grads Ranking
Camper Vincent Rinaldi works on his long jump skills
Forbes reports that Westmont rates as No. 74 in its survey, Grateful Grads: Top Return-on-Investment
orbes magazine has ranked Westmont in the top 100 colleges and universities of its new survey, Grateful Grads: Top Returnon-Investment. Westmont, which is listed as No. 74, is one of only three Christian colleges nationally to be recognized and just one of nine schools in California, including Cal Tech, Stanford, Claremont McKenna, Mills, Pomona, USC, California Institute of the Arts and Occidental. The Obama administration has launched the College Affordability and Transparency Center College Scorecard website to help families choose the right college. The problem with the White Houses new offering is that it gives you little guidance about the return-on-investment part of the college planning process, says Matt Schifrin, Forbes managing editor of investing, markets and personal finance. The governments scorecard website has yet to report any specific employment data by college. The Forbes ranking measures the amount of private gifts given to a four-year college, divided by its number of full-time students. After all, private donations are typically an indicator of two things: how successful an alumnus is and how grateful he or she feels toward her alma mater, Schifrin says. Westmonts median gift per student from 20022012 is $7,944.19, while endowment assets per student from 2011-2012 is $47,008. Westmont students have suc13 20 June 2013

ipated in camps when they were younger. All camps, which began June 10 and run through July 26, start at 9 am and cost $225 or $250. Most camps end at 1 pm, though several camps (basketball, soccer and tennis) last until 3 pm with aftercare offered until 4:30 pm. The price includes a camp T-shirt, photo and instruction by Westmont coaches as well as current and former Westmont student-athletes. Campers also have the opportunity to swim in the Westmont pool throughout the week. Azain says with so many wonderful camps in Santa Barbara, hes thankful Westmont has one of the longest running and most successful camps in town. We have stateof-the-art facilities and tremendous coaches and staff, most of whom are our current athletes or local students who create a safe and fun environment while providing sport-specific instruction, he says. Most importantly, we love the kids we get to work with. Registration and information about age restrictions are available at http://blogs.westmont.edu/athlet ics/summer-camps.

An additional third week of Sports Skills (June 10-14, June 17-21 and June 24-28) targeted for children 5-10 years old, has been added due to its popularity. Director Jill Wolf oversees the camp that focuses on skills for soccer, basketball, volleyball and softball as well as many coordination skills. Westmont has added a new Girls Rhythm and Moves Camp (July 22 26) that features dance, tumble, cheer, balance and stretching to fun music.

ing a self-publisher doesnt appeal to him. Besides, he says, Im such a traditionalist, getting a traditional publisher is the way Id much rather go. I just wrote a ninety-seven-page novella that I really love and so e-book might be the way to go with that. The novella is called Saving Grace, and its about a one-armed Afghan vet who starts out walking down Leadbetter Beach after going to the Santa Barbara cemetery to talk to his cousin and sees what he thinks is a dead body in the ocean. He waits for the dead body to come up, Alexander expounds. When it does, its not a dead body; its a blow-up sex doll that washes up onshore and it is filled with money. Thats how it starts. Jims short inspirational story is called Write From The Start, and features author Cork Millner, who first recommended Alexander to the Journal as a potential humor columnist way back when. I was taking Corks class at Adult Ed, Alexander recalls, and [Cork] came up to me after class one time and wrote down your name and MJ on a little orange post-it note.

My Very Fair Lady
Direct from the Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts, My Fair Lady is playing only once: June 16 at 3 pm at the Granada.

And maybe, just maybe, it wont be too difficult, because as a father and now a grandfather, My Fair Lady is my favorite musical of all time. Ive seen it over a dozen times and know all the words to all the songs. I even know Frederick (Fritz) Loewes widow (he of Lerner & Loewe), who happens to live in Santa Ynez Valley.

virate plied me with food and coffee as they explained how and why this star-studded production of Lerner & Loewes now classic My Fair Lady is coming to the Granada. The entire cast of principals Cloris Leachman, Michael York, Jonathan Pryce, Max Von Essen, Gregory Jbara, and Londons Laura Michelle Kelly as Eliza Doolittle have been enticed to make the trip from Washington, D.C. to Santa Barbara. Its a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, says Rob. We had contact with the director, Marcia Milgrom Dodge (she was nominated for a Tony Award for her direction of a recent revival of Ragtime), and weve been talking to her for years about establishing a relationship between her and the Granada. Rob and Marcia met about ten years ago, when she directed a musical he and his wife, Prudence, wrote that is now called The Girl That Would Be King (originally Knight Life). She also just directed a show the couple did at the Pasadena Playhouse called Under My Skin, which they hope will open in New York. Housing A Thespian More importantly for Fathers Day, My Fair Lady is a play that has the man is in charge written all over it. When Professor Higgins eases down into his favorite chair and asks Eliza to fetch me my slippers, just before the lights go out, you know he has won this round. With such a brilliant cast, one can absolutely not go wrong by planning an afternoon Fathers Day gift of a ticket or two or three or more for the entire family. You can always record the final round of the U.S. Open, but you wont ever see such a cast assembled to sing and perform in one of, lets say, the ten greatest musicals of all time. Were hoping its the beginning of some original theater programming at the Granada, says Rob. Another illuminating factor is that all the principals are staying in various
homes, all of which are in Montecito. I call it The Housing A Thespian Program, Marla says with a laugh. If you ever needed motivation to clean up your home, this is it. All of the eight resident companies at the Granada are involved: Opera Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Ballet, Santa Barbara Symphony, CAMA, Theatre League, UCSB Arts & Lectures, Music Academy of the West, and the Choral Society. If youd like to get involved with Rob, Marla, Carrie, and the rest of the group responsible for bringing this show to Santa Barbara, Marlas advice is: Come to the show. See what it is. Then contact our head of development, Kristi Newton, and say This is what I would love to participate in, and it will get to everybody. Her e-mail address is: knewton@granadasb.org. Sense & Sensibility Stage Director Marcia Milgrom Dodge, who is married with children and lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, calls herself a vagabond director and has worked around the world. She just finished staging the world premiere of Sense & Sensibility, The Musical at the Denver Center in Colorado. Jeffery Haddow wrote the book and lyrics, Neal Hampton composed the music. People that didnt know Jane Austen were swept along, Marcia tells me during a later telephone conversation. The show was a complete sell-out and received rave reviews. We had an extremely raucous response to the show, she gleefully reports. As for its likely run elsewhere: Were hoping it will have a future life commercially in the States or in London. Its hard breaking a new musical. Maybe Ill bring it to the Granada. Wouldnt that be nice? Well, yes, I say, that would be very nice. You can reach Marcia at: mar ciamilgromdodge@gmail.com. Perhaps you can convince her to bring Sense & Sensibility to the Granada. MJ 13 20 June 2013

MAW 2013
n most communities, summer is the time for relaxing lazy afternoons at the beach soaking up the sun, picnics in the park, warm evening strolls. Not here. At least not for the 138 young artists who are summer fellows at the Music Academy of the West or the several dozen estimable faculty members who come to the Miraflores campus in Montecito from around the country. Theyre all spending perhaps the busiest summer of their lives, with daily instruction, rehearsals, preparation and study. Nor for the thousands of local residents and visitors who flock the seaside estate to hear these supremely gifted budding professionals perform in a variety of settings, from masterclasses to symphony orchestras and a fully-staged opera, and solo recitals to chamber ensembles. Every summer brings something new to Miraflores, and this year, while theres no new buildings or facilities or upgrades for the first time in years, plenty of personnel are making their local debuts. Including a new behindthe-scenes maestro: Patrick Posey, the new vice president of artistic planning and educational programs, who comes to town via a varied career including work as a professional saxophonist and several years as director of orchestral activities and planning at Juilliard in New York. The appointment has already paid dividends, as Poseys professional relationship with Matthias Pintscher was instrumental in landing the West Coast premiere of bereshit(In the Beginning), conducted by the composer himself. Well have much more with Posey in next weeks issue. But for now, here are the highlights of the coming season, with some comments from Posey.

Summer Festival Preview
ater undergoes renovations all summer. The exceedingly popular annual Marilyn Horne Song Competition is slated for July 20, with judges to include Jeremy Geffen, the director of artistic planning at Carnegie Hall and Fort Worth Opera director Darren Woods. Opera Scenes which this year features selections of best-loved works by Rossini, Donizetti, Strauss, Britten, Verdi and Menotti moves to a Monday/Wednesday time slot (July 8 & 10), while the now-popular Vocal Chamber Music concert mixing voice, vocal piano and instrumental fellows in works by Vaughan Williams, Previn, Donizetti, Ponchielli, Crumb, Britten and Chausson takes place on July 25.
Orchestral Concerts
Matthias Pintscher will conduct the West Coast premiere of his new work bereshit at the Music Academy of the West on July 1
The Academy Festival Orchestra will present seven concerts this season, which sounds like a big increase, considering theres only been four or five featuring the full ensemble each summer. But thats because the Academy is moving what used to be called the Academy Chamber Orchestra under the Festival Orchestra umbrella. But that doesnt mean there arent some new and exciting events. In fact, right after Larry Rachleff offers up his usual summer opening alchemy at the Granada on June 22 in which
the individual instrumental fellows are transformed into a full symphonic orchestra less than a week after arriving on campus two conductors make their MAW debuts within 10 days. Bernard Labadie, founding director of Canadas Les Violons du Roy and an internationally recognized expert on 17th and 18th century repertoire, will lead the smaller AFO ensemble in a program featuring Glucks Don Juan, the overture to Mozarts La clemenza di Tito, and Haydns Symphony No. 101 (The Clock) on June 29 at the intimate Hahn Hall. Then Matthias Pintscher, who will become music director of Ensemble Intercontemporain this autumn, will conduct the West Coast premiere of his new work bereshit which just had its world premiere last month with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra plus Stravinskys Pulcinella (featuring Academy Voice Fellows) and Ravels Le Tombeau de Couperin on July 1, also at Hahn. And theres one more MAW premiere still to come, as up-and-coming American conductor Tito Muoz wields the baton for the annual Concerto Night (July 20) starring winners of the Academys 2013 Concerto Competition. Muozs debut is sandwiched between visits from returning conductors Leonard

Its been 15 years since Santa Barbara has seen a fully staged production of Mozarts The Magic Flute, but only two since MAWs vocal piano chair Warren Jones made his festival opera conducting debut. Putting those two together was a no-brainer, as was bringing back David Paul, a Juilliard faculty member who has directed concerts for the Metropolitan Operas Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. Paul oversaw the Music Academys smart and crisp production of the modern, quirky and rarely performed The Rakes Progress by Stravinsky last summer, and now hell lend his hand to a better-known piece of reper13 20 June 2013

The 23 academy fellows who will perform in the opera (on August 2 & 4, with the cover artists getting their own sing-through of the entire libretto accompanied by vocal pianists on July 23) were chosen from more than 600 applicants, as the voice program continues to gain in excellence and selectivity every year.

Jones and vocal department chair Marilyn Horne team up on June 19 for the first vocal masterclass of the season in which each of the 2013 voice and vocal piano fellows are introduced via song. Mosher Guest Artist Vladimir Chernov runs the masterclass two days later before the baritone sings in recital on June 24 with Jones at the piano. Meanwhile, Jones and Hornes masterclasses that are normally held at the Lobero (June 29 & July 27) have been moved to UCSBs Lehmann Hall (not to be confused with the one at the Miraflores campus) as the the-

Slatkin (who will conduct Roberto Sierras Fandangos, Beethovens Symphony No. 8, and Shostakovichs Symphony No. 5, on July 13) and James Gaffigan, who closes out the summer with the overture to Wagners Rienzi, songs from Mahlers Des Knaben Wunderhorn (featuring Music Academy Voice Fellows), and Berliozs Symphonie Fantastique on August 10; all are back at the Granada. And lets not forget the impishly bubbly Nicholas McGegan, who returns to First Presbyterian Church to spin his Baroque magic on works by Rameau, Vivaldi and Haydn on August 3. Its quite a mix of different kinds of experiences for the fellows to expose them to a wide range, explained Posey. Weve got one of the worlds greatest teachers of young orchestras (Rachleff), two experts in early music (Lavadie and McGeegan), a distinguished maestro who has worked with some of the best orchestras in the world (Slatkin), and a couple of young guns who are close in age to the fellows (Gaffigan and Munoz) who show the instrumentalists that they could maybe be doing this themselves in just a few years. Its inspiring for them. And Pintscher is a composer-conductor, who brings a different perspective and sense of the music. You think back to Mendelsson, Mahler, Bernstein, Boulez Matthias Pintscher fits that model.
MAW (Continued from page 37)
Violinist Midori will perform during this years MAW Summer Festival Joshua Roman has been appointed as the Academys first-ever Alumnus in Residence
Chernov (June 20-24), Brooklyn Rider (July 3-5), pianist Jeremy Denk (July 15-19), and violinist Midori (July 28-August 1) are spread out evenly over the summer to share the wealth for the eight-week season. And Joshua Roman, who matriculated at Miraflores in 2002, has been appointed as the Academys firstever Alumnus in Residence, as the remarkably talented and personable young cellist will be on hand July 15-25 to curate his own curriculum, teach a master class, and offer two public performances that should significantly inspire instrumental fellows to reach their own potential. The Music Academy of the West season takes place June 17 to August 10. For more information, tickets, or a schedule of events, call 969-8787 or visit www.musicacademy.org. MJ
There are several components to this part of the summer festival, including two nearly weekly events that are extremely popular. The Picnic Concert Series, named for the tradition of pre-concert al fresco dining on the academys gorgeous grounds, features fellows in eclectic concerts that used to be more or less programmed by the musicians themselves, endearingly if often somewhat haphazardly, with the music on a single evening ranging from much beloved works from the string quartet repertoire to new pieces performed on unusual instrumentation, including percussion ensembles. But Posey is taking a new tact. Were taking a more active approach in putting together the chamber music groups and repertoire assignments before they arrive for the summer, he said. Then were slotting in their performance opportunities to have a rough idea of what goes when. The series remains at six concerts this season. Also, the percussion faculty and fellows get together for a fourth Percussion Ensemble Concert in Hahn on July 22, and the all-day Chamber Music Marathon features fellows performing pieces theyve been working on all summer, at 13 20 June 2013
Chamber Music
Hahn Hall on July 27. New this year is the String Quartet Seminar, which grew out of last years trial run, only now the participating fellows arrive on campus a week early to begin preparation with the Takacs. The four quartets receive intensive ensemble coaching over the course of seven days culminating in a public recital on June 19, just three days into the season. On the faculty side, the Tuesdays @ 8 concerts at Hahn Hall are some of the most cherished events of the summer, with just about all of the seven concerts serving as highlights of the season. The July 2 program brings together an unusual combination of instruments, one of everything, like ordering Chinese food, Posey said. Im excited about the intersection of the arrangement of the Shostakovich string quartet for brass quintet on July 9, and July 16 is a real buffet, bringing together 20th and 21st century artists who are all influenced by jazz and pop, plus percussionist Ted Atkatz s own Turn Key Hotel, and pianist Jeremy Denk joining violist Cynthia Phelps for Brittens Lachrymae. And Debussys sonata for flute, viola and harp has never been done by the faculty here before. Meanwhile, guests artist string quartets Takcs and Brooklyn Rider appear as featured recitalists (June 20 and July 3, respectively).

The show swept the 1964 awards, claiming nine prizes including overall Best Musical for a score that features Matchmaker,
Matchmaker, If I were a Rich Man, Tradition, Sunrise, Sunset, and Do You Love Me among its indelible numbers. Based on Sholem Aleichem stories, Fiddler is at once an affirmation of life and a celebration of its challenges, with the tale unfolding through the eyes of Tevye, a small town peddler trying to hold on to his traditions despite sweeping social change confronting his family values as the political climate threatens his whole village. PCPA Theaterfests production, directed by company veteran Roger DeLaurier, earned rave reviews when it played indoors in Santa Maria this spring, and now the show moves south to open the summer season at the Solvang Festival Theater. Erik Stein plays Tevye, with Kitty Balay as Golde, Karin Hendricks as Tzeitel, Elizabeth Stuart as Yente/FrumaSarah, Michael Jenkinson (who also created original choreography) as Motel, Leo Cortez as Mordcha, Peter S.

In the Internet era, cyberbullying is a 24-hour a day issue, as anonymity provided by ever more sophisticated technology and unlimited access to digital devices have propelled an uprising of virtual intimidation. The documentary film Submit compassionatelytells the stories of children and families who are affected by cyberbullying. The shared experiences, testimonials of victims, and experts on this phenomenon allow you to peer into this rapidly escalating phenomenon. UCSBs Gevirtz School and Bullying Research Network (BRNET) are cosponsoring a free public screening of Submit, introduced by its producer, Les Ottolenghi, and followed by a panel discussion among BRNET scholars moderated by Dr. Shane Jimerson of UCSBs Department of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology.

The other Phillips Grant Lee Phillips isnt the G. Phillips who has called Montecito home for more than 15 years (hes from Stockton and has lived in Los Angeles for years). Hes not the one who is the once and once again lead singer/songwriter for pop band Toad the Wet Sprocket (Grant Lees on- and off-again band is named after him: Grant Lee Buffalo). But Grant Lee and Glen are not only good friends but also musical colleagues who have appeared on stage together many times, including just a few months ago when they shared a bill at the new Plaza Theater in Carpinteria, each offering a number of new tunes from recent and forthcoming solo works. Glen wont be at SOhO Friday night (except maybe in the audience and/or as a special guest if hes not on tour), but Grant Lee will have had a lot more gigs under his belt performing the material from his strong recent release, Walking Through the Green Corn, which ties together his Native American ancestry and current personal outlook.

More Miller time The last time Rhett Miller breezed through town, the erstwhile singer-songwriter/frontman of the alt-country band Old 97s was rockin out at SOhO, playing solo tunes and lots of the bands hits at the 300-capacity club atop Victoria Court. Sunday night, while Steve steps up to the Bowl, Rhett ratchets down to an even more intimate venue, the 60ish-capacity coffeehouse/club known at Muddy Waters. Thats because hes touring briefly behind the acoustic version of his 2012 CD The Dreamer, a stripped down series of demos he recorded for the band to use as study aids. The recent tunes are much more country-oriented than both Old 97s material and his previous solo output, a quiet meditation on family and friends, life and love. In Millers own words, the songs are small and often sad. Even poignant, we might add. WHEN: 8pm WHERE: 508 E. Haley Street COST: $18 INFO: 966-9328

Live Oak Music Festival The annual three-day music festival benefitting KCBXFM held every Fathers Day weekend is turning 25. To celebrate, the festival whose programming reflects the eclectic approach of the public radio station is bringing back some of the favorite artists from years past. Among the headliners for the Silver Jubilee are Jerry Douglas, the 13-time Grammy Award-winning dobro player who has spearheaded the bluegrass (newgrass) revival and played alongside a slew of acoustic artists; countrified singersongwriter Robert Earl Keen, a storytelling troubadour who has created songs recorded by George Strait, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Lyle Lovett and the Dixie Chicks; and The Stooges Brass Band, one of the elite such outfits from New Orleans since 1996, who are just beginning to receive overdue attention beyond the region for their high-energy blend of traditional New Orleans brass sounds and contemporary hip-hop beats. Some of the names on the afternoon and evening undercards arent too shabby either, including Grammy nominee Ruthie Foster, who brings a combustible blend of soul, blues, rock, folk and gospel; fellow Grammy nominee Maura OConnell, the Irish by way of Nashville vocalist whose first recorded appearance as a lead vocalist came with the celebrated traditional Celtic group De Dannan in 1981; West Coast blues and boogie beast Rod Piazza and His Mighty Flyers; and the pan-cultural, multi-lingual quintet Rupa & The April Fishes. The locals are also duly represented, with sets from San Luis Obispos folk-soul jazz singer Inga Swearingen; Venturas Phil Salazar & the Kin Folk, featuring the estimable fiddler and many of his mates whose collaboration dates back to Acousticats days, one of the very early acts at Live Oak; Ojais modern folksinger Emy Reynolds and her backing trio; and the erstwhile Santa Barbara-based modern bluegrass trio Cache Valley Drifters, who used to play a weekly gig at Cold Spring Tavern and Tom Ball & Kenny Sultan, the acoustic blues duo that still jams every Sunday afternoon at Cold Spring when theyre in town. Plus Joe Craven, the festivals emcee for more than a dozen years who has a penchant for sitting in with all sorts of acts all weekend long, gets a rare main stage gig with his current trio. Music also takes place before and after the main stage shows down at the Stage Too, which hosts workshops and teen dances, and at the Hot Licks Stage, where bands break the day in the early am while others do reprise sets for dancing and other endeavors late at night. There are plenty of non-stage activities, too, including weekend camping onsite, arts and crafts booths, childrens events, food booths, music and other workshops, fireside jamming and resting under the oaks. And AKORN radio, the solar-powered onsite station, broadcasts live the festival events as they happen. WHEN: 2pm Friday 10:15pm Sunday WHERE: Live Oak Camp, Hwy. 154 (San Marcos Pass), about 1.8 miles north of Paradise Road COST: Full festival pass: $125 general, $80 tens, $40 children; Day pass: $55 general & teens, $20 children (Camping permit: $40 under 22, $70 over 22 INFO: 781-3030 or www.liveoakfest.org 13 20 June 2013

Real Estate
Getting More With Less
by Mark Hunt propertys best features is the stun-
Mark and his wife, Sheela Hunt, are in the real estate business. They live in Montecito with their daughter Sareena, a sophmore at SBHS. His family goes back nearly one hundred years in the Santa Barbara area. Marks grandparents Bill and Elsie Hunt were Santa Barbara real estate brokers for 25 years.
lthough its great to talk about trends in the market, what homes are in escrow and have had multiple offers, what closed for how much and all; thats of course very important information, but my favorite part about this business is being able to tour such homes, pointing out various works of art in architecture, landscape design and craftsmanship, and to then discuss them with other agents, friends, etc... Current properties on the market represent potential for buyers at every price point. While this article features home in the upper $8-million range, it is important to know what that price range likely gets a buyer. In taking a look at that valuation, I thought it might be fun to look at the basic expectations of properties at various price points in Montecito. These are not hard and fast guarantees, but a guideline based on history of home sales and averages:
Acreage, pool, large home, guest house(s), prestigious location, ocean front at Butterfly Beach, private gated access, long driveways, extra parking, a staff-friendly nature, grounds that require significant attention, etc Beyond $10 million and up, the sky is the limit. But if you are looking for a substantial estate in Montecito, you can do well by focusing on the upper eights and work your way from there. Here are four properties in that price range that I feel support the opinion that these are indeed substantial homes in excellent locations in the best parts of the village, all priced under nine million dollars
ning ocean view to the south, as well as inspiring mountain views to the north. This newly constructed (2010), Mediterranean estate advertises more than 8,000 square feet of living space. The house includes a 1st floor master suite, an office, and an exercise room; it features a central vacuum system and is located in the Cold Spring School District. The approximately 1.25-acre lot features a dramatic infinity pool, guest-pool house, outdoor BBQ area, formal gardens, a long gated entry drive and elegant motor court.

With a prestigious Park Lane address, nestled amidst approximately 3.5 acres of oaks, lawns and privacy, lies what is arguably the most authentic English manor in all of Montecito, according to the listing information. Built in 1932 and designed by noted architect Chester Carjola, this historic manor boasts a total of 9 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. In addition to the abundant amenities and accommodations, there are emotional ocean and mountain views surrounding. Outside, one will find an enchanting rose garden, pool and spa, 2-bedroom 2-bath guesthouse, lush landscaping, rolling lawns, coveted privacy and a motor court. The value here is in the historic significance and the size and location of the home and lot. This home is in the Montecito Union School District.

Homes are rarely available on Channel Drive. There are only about ten homes on this street that sits directly across from Butterfly Beach and a stones throw down from the Biltmore. Currently, there are three homes on the market in this little stretch but this is the only one with an ocean view pool, so there it is. Resting on a level, nearly half-acre lot, this home offers casual chic design with panoramic ocean and island views. Walls of glass in this 3844+/- sq ft (as advertised) home create a welcomed, indoor-outdoor feeling. The living room with fireplace overlooks a terrace. There is a pool and spa,
This dramatic contemporary home is on just over three acres and features top-of-the-hill ocean and island views; there are a total of five bedrooms and six bathrooms. This home was built in 1992 with top quality materials. Special attention was given to the position of the home, in order to take advantage of the sweeping vistas. Spacious bright rooms and walls of glass combined with access to viewing balconies and terraced gardens create true indoor-outdoor living. There is a wine cellar with tasting room, an art studio, a sun-soaked swimming pool, three-car garage, separate guest house with garage, two-story separate gym-game roomstudio and again those broad Park Lane views. The home is located in the Montecito Union School District and has incorporated a drought tolerant landscape approach, fitting to the design of the home. If you are not working with an agent currently, and are considering buying a home, please let me help you find the best deal for your budget in Montecito. Or if you are considering selling a current home in the area, I would be happy to give you a price evaluation for your property. You can reach me at mark@ villagesite.com or call/text 805-6982174.

the action, Frisch said, is to take an honest look at French playwright Yasmina Rezas version of human nature. Its about the philosophy of the enlightened versus the Neanderthal. Our learning versus instincts. These people are pretentious. But ultimately its more about how thin the floor is beneath our civilized behavior. We agree what traffic signals mean, and how to line up at Starbucks all the things that keep society intact. But the play suggests that these kinds of gestures are tissue thin. Underneath that we still exist in a primordial past. And it causes us to be defensive, protective, and accusing toward each other. We can commit small and large
entertainment (Continued from page 33)
atrocities at will and were all subject to it. These moments are always going to happen because were just wired that way. If that sounds a bit like Beckett, Frisch believes the playwrights share a similar message. Its not about only being unrelenting and essentially despairing nobody wants to hear that message. The journey has to be a kick, really funny or enormously entertaining. Thats the secret to Beckett to make it funny and alive. Its the same with this piece; its very out there. Indeed, as Carnage progresses from a polite comedy to a lunatic farce, its clear that having capable actors is paramount to the piece. Which just
Peter Frisch and The Producing Units God of Carnage makes its local debut on June 14 at the Center Stage Theater
happens to be the Frisch Studio and The Producing Units specialty. Thats what we want to emphasize, having very strong, sophisticated actors who can really carry stuff this weighty, Frisch said, pointing out that Robin Burrows and Jennifer Vogel, who join Egan and Zimerle in the cast also have a lot of experience, including stints in New York and Santa Barbara. Nobody is new to this. I think among the five of us weve got it handled. The Producing Unit presents God of Carnage at 8pm June 14-15 and June 20-22 and 3pm June 16 & 23 at the Center Stage Theater. Tickets cost $24 general, $15 students. Info at 963-0408 or www.centerstagetheater.org. MJ
