The Conservation Conundrum
A
ccording to USA.com, average annual rainfall in Montecito is 20 inches.
So far this year, we have had only 4.5 inches of rain. Over the past two
years, we have seen the lowest combined rainfall totals in Montecito
since the Montecito Water District (MWD) began keeping records in 1924,
according to Tom Mosby, General Manager of MWD.
Cachuma Lake, the main reservoir for water in Santa Barbara County, can
hold a maximum of 188,030 acre feet (AF) of water. Today, Lake Cachuma
stands at 81,757 AF. It is more than half empty at 43 percent of capacity. The
much smaller Gibraltar reservoir stands at 6.4 percent of capacity and Jameson
Reservoir at 31 percent of capacity.
The driest recorded year ever was 1877, when only 4.5 inches of rainfall was
recorded in Santa Barbara. Few recall the severe six-year drought of 1945 to
1951, but many were living here during the more recent drought of 1987 to 1991,
when neighbors competed to buy black-market water from water trucks plying
the streets of Montecito. Cachuma hit its all-time low of 27,899 AF (14 percent
of capacity) in February of 1991: just before the March Miracle deluge weeks
later that dumped enough rain in the foothills to cause Jameson to spill and also
refill Cachuma.
Again, in February of 1998, 21.4 inches of rain fell, contributing to the heaviest
annual modern rainfall on record, measuring 46.8 inches.
Our reservoirs are filling up with silt and our groundwater is being depleted.
Twelve estates have abandoned dried-up private wells and have begun using
MWD water in just the last two months. The current water demand is unsus-
tainable, says Mosby.
Higher Usage and Higher Rates
The average person in Montecito uses 290 gallons of water a day, the highest
water usage on the south central coast. The reason is that 40 percent of MWDs
residential customers live on one or more acres, and many of those properties
are lushly landscaped. By contrast, the average person in Santa Barbara uses 86
gallons per day, Carpinteria 84 gallons, and Goleta 66 gallons.
A record water bill rate increase of almost 16 percent in September followed
by automatic rate increases of 7.4 percent in each of the next four years will hike
water bills for Montecito users by 55 percent over the coming five years. So far,
the increase in price has had no effect on reducing consumption, proving once
again that in a place where the median household income is $113,000, a higher
water bill is preferable to replacing huge investments in landscaping.
Cutting Back and Increasing Supplies
Great strides have been made in reducing consumption with low-flush
toilets, shower water savers, and more efficient washers and dishwashers.
Consideration must be given to replacing grass with hardscaping or plants
that require less water. MWD offers water audits, smarter meters, conservation
pricing, and public awareness campaigns.
Heavier restrictions on lawn sprinkling for private residences, golf courses,
athletic fields, and parks would precede water rationing through either fixed
customer allotments or percentage cutbacks. MWD staff is now in the process
of preparing for the declaration of a Water Shortage Emergency Plan if weather
conditions remain dry. The emergency declaration would be considered by the
MWD board of directors in January of 2014. It would include even more severe
restrictions than the measures put into place during the 1987 to 1991 drought.
The Plan would consider a ban on all water usage not related to human health
and safety purposes, meaning the use of water for outdoor landscaping could
be prohibited.
Conservation creates a conundrum here in Montecito. The less water our dis-
trict uses, the less MWD collects in revenues, resulting in insufficient funds to
cover fixed operating expenses, capital improvements, and debt service. Such
a situation would most likely necessitate a drought surcharge, with the unfor-
tunate result that users who voluntarily cut their consumption will be asked to
pay more for less water used.
Unlike Santa Barbara, MWD has not chosen to use recycled wastewater
for irrigation. It is replacing obsolete pipes prone to leaks and upgrading
infrastructure to improve efficiency. Our County Board of Supervisors will
have to choose either a greater and more expensive commitment to the
State Water Project by renewing the contract that expires in 2035 or finding
a new source of reliable water at a competitive price most likely from an
expanded desalination water solution. That choice will be examined in next
weeks editorial. MJ

all it a stroke of jean-ius!
Montecitos Paul Selwyn,
founding president of the Wallis
Annenberg Theater of Performing
Arts in Beverly Hills, knows a good
idea when he sees one.
Three years ago, Paul, a keen envi-
ronmentalist, was visiting the new
California Academy of Sciences build-
ing in San Francisco and noticed a
cutout in the wall, which showed the
blue insulation material, made from
recycled denim jeans, that was used in
the development.
They mentioned how the jeans
were collected from schools and uni-
versities, and then made into this insu-
lation material free of formaldehyde
and other toxins, explains Paul, who
became involved in trying to build a
childrens museum in Santa Barbara
and was president of the board from
2000 until 2008.
I started to think about how excit-
ing it would be if we could start

The best little paper in America
(Covering the best little community anywhere!)
I
n David S. McCalmonts recent
letter (Slutty Or Not, MJ #
19/47), he makes the bizarre state-
ment that most of the hysteria over
Katy Perry from the South Coast is
because she was born and raised in
Goleta, apparently forgetting Katy
Perry is one of the biggest pop stars
not only in America, but in the world.
Trust me, others dont care where
shes from, and people in our area are
as inspired by her talent and music as
those outside of it.
Secondly, the cynical statement Mr.
McCalmont makes that her visit to
Dos Pueblos was nothing more than
a victory lap is very unfortunate
and blindly knee-jerk. He proffers Ms
Perry has no morals, no affection for
her alma mater, and no willingness to
give back in an attempt to inspire oth-
ers to reach for their dreams.
Katy Perry was dumped by record
labels, dealt with car repossessions,
was on the verge of homelessness
many times, and is as imperfect as any-
one else, including Mr. McCalmont.
Shes a human being, but if you read
Mr. McCalmonts take on Ms Perry,
youd think she has horns coming out
of her head and a plot to take over
the worlds youth. Thats what many
thought of Elvis too, and that got old
fast.
I have a friend whose daughter has
cancer; Ms Perry spent an hour with
her in the cancer ward at Cottage
Hospital lifting her spirits and asking
her what she wanted to do when she
grew up. She asked for no applause,
and wasnt making any money from
it. Mr. McCalmont would be better
served understanding who hes talk-
ing about as a whole rather than
simply throwing darts and pointing
from afar.
Beyond all this, the letter was simply
an opportunity for Mr. McCalmont to
give one long, critical rant that seemed
more spiteful than realistic. Im not a
Christian or a psychologist, but next
time Mr. McCalmont decides to cri-
tique someone for all to see, I sug-
gest giving some real insight into the
human condition as well as some via-
ble suggestions about how one might
improve ones lot in life. Otherwise, it
comes off extremely weak.
Steve McDermont
Santa Barbara
(Editors note: No doubt Mr.
McCalmont who I believe does have
a good heart and whom we agree with
most of the time on many subjects will
respond to your criticism-observations
in the coming weeks. In the meantime,
let us reiterate that most of us here at
the MJ are fans of Katy Perry too, and
the patience and generosity she displayed
during last years Dream Foundation
event at the Bacara convinced us that she
is for real. J.B.)

Shes DAWGone Good
That was a great letter to the editor
from Shirley Jansen, supporter and
founder (I believe) of DAWG about
their Dog of the Year, Xena, a pit bull
mix (Dog of the Year, MJ # 19/47).
Agreed: its the owners, not the dogs
fault most of the time. If it were pos-
sible, Id adopt one.

(Editors note: Yes, indeed: both Shirley
and Bob Jansen were the guiding spirits of
DAWG, going back to 1990 J.B.)
Gardens Galore
The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden
in Mission Canyon affords our com-
munity a unique treasure. It is a jewel
just waiting to be explored, where you
can wander and enjoy stunning land-
scapes and views. As a docent and vol-
unteer, I love sharing the garden and
sharing my excitement about recent
changes and the gardens future.
In fact, some dont realize that since
the Tea Fire, nature has remarkably
healed the garden. So thanks to the
wonder of nature and hard work
we continue to have this historic gar-
den. Not only has the iconic Campbell
Bridge over Mission Creek been
rebuilt, but the historic landscape is
in the process of being restored. The
meadow revival project is underway,
and they are recreating the celebrated
wildflower displays.
Come and see the exciting chang-
es as they take place, with more to
happen on the east side of Tunnel
Road. Not only that, but the educa-
tion program has one of a kind classes,
there is a new website, and the holi-
day marketplace is about to open!
The Garden is a true living muse-
um, a place where you can explore
Californias unsurpassed plant diver-
sity. This is a place where you can
enjoy a tranquil respite, or enjoy
nature with friends and family. I urge
you to come and experience this trea-
sured landscape, the lovely world of
the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden.

Rodent Removal
Remark
After reading the recent missive
labeling liberals as rodents to
be removed come next November
(Origin Of Left & Right, MJ #
19/46), I experienced a sudden flash-
back to a riveting PBS NewsHour
interview between a Maryland con-
gresswoman and tea party favorite
Dr. Benjamin Carson, M.D. They
were to debate on the acquittal ver-
dict reached that day on the Trayvon
Martin-George Zimmerman case
trial that was televised for about a
year. Tensions were high over the
possibility of street riots due to this
not guilty verdict.
The congresswoman was absolutely
beside herself with grief and anguish,
not only over the verdict, but particu-
larly regarding racial profiling. She
cited specific examples that involved
her 24-year-old son and a new college-
educated aide. She managed to block
Dr. Carson from uttering a single word
in what should have been a back-and-
forth exchange.
Dr. Carson never lost his cool, dis-
played utmost patience, and was
totally unruffled by the continuous
outburst. Toward the end of the seg-
ment, with a few moments remaining,
Dr. Carson was finally able to state his
opinion.
In a soft, clear tone, he pro-
claimed that whatever position any-
one took regarding the acquittal of
Mr. Zimmerman, it was the same as
throwing a grenade at the other side
and making them your enemy. What
a fabulous response to the eternal left
versus right conundrum!
In his aforementioned letter, Name
Withheld in Santa Barbara quoted
the following from Ecclesiastes 10:2:
The heart of the wise inclines to the
right, but the heart of the fool to the
left.
While many folks are fond of refer-
encing the Bible to back up a point,
few are enlightened enough to abide
by its wisdom.
To paraphrase the remarkable Dr.
Carson: whether you lean left or right,
youre still fragmented, i.e., half a
person.
The correct formula is: yin plus
yang equals soul (whole).
Leslie Nelson
Montecito
(Editors note: For the record, Name
Withheld did not equate liberal with
rodents in his letter to the editor; he
merely pointed out that the last four
letters in Democrats are R-A-T-S. In a
following paragraph, our unnamed con-
tributor [we withheld his name in fear of
his getting hate mail] added: Remember,
November is to be set aside as rodent
removal month, so he didnt really equate
the two, but On another note, we are
huge fans of Dr. Carson! J.B.)
Coastal Branch
Brouhaha
Recently, some misconceptions have
arisen concerning the California Water
Impact Networks (CWIN) position on
the Coastal Branch. As anyone who
pays a water bill in Montecito knows,
the Coastal Branch is the aqueduct
that delivers water from the State
Water Project (SWP) to the Central
Coast. It provides a supplemental
supply of our water.
So to clarify: we do not propose
mothballing the Coastal Branch. Did
we originally oppose this project? Yes.
We recognized it as a bad idea when
it was first proposed in the early
1990s, and its completion confirmed
our worst fears.
Remember: the California
Department of Water Resources
(DWR) stated the Coastal Branch
would cost no more than $270 mil-
lion. But by the time it was completed,
construction, maintenance, and debt
service costs had skyrocketed to $1.76
billion. Further, DWR promised that
the canal would deliver 97% of con-
tracted water allotments. To date, it
has delivered only 36% to Montecito.
In short, the Coastal Branch is a
complete and utter failure. It is a fis-
cal disaster, and it does not live up
to DWRs promise of abundant and
reliable water. CWIN advocated for a
far cheaper approach, one that could
ultimately free us from enthrallment
to SWP water. We supported and
we continue to support conserva-
tion, water recycling, development
of local surface sources, rainwater
harvest, and groundwater desaliniza-
tion. We also support a measured and
reasonable ocean desalination policy
that includes activation of the Charles
Meyer Desalination Plant during peri-
ods of drought or other water emer-

But we also recognize that were
irrevocably yoked to the Coastal
Branch. We cant shut it down. Still,
that doesnt mean we should blithely
compound our mistake. And the most
egregious mistake we could possibly
make is early renewal of our State
Water Project contract.
Our SWP contract expires in 2038,
and thats when we should extend
it. Why wait? Because early renew-
al of the contract would allow the
Brown administration to issue rev-
enue bonds for the construction of the
Twin Tunnels, a boondoggle scheme
that would divert northern state water
under the Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta to the southern state via two
huge tunnels.
There are many reasons for
rejecting the Twin Tunnels. First,
the design is incomplete. In other
words, we have no idea of the engi-

Book Signing at Tecolote
Kathy Eldon signs In the Heart of Life:
A Restless Soul, a Search for Meaning,
and a Bond That Nothing Could Break.
When Kathy Eldon learned on July
12, 1993 that her 22-year old son
Dan, who was working on assignment
as a photojournalist for Reuters, had
been stoned to death by an angry mob
in Somalia, she says a wail of grief
emerged from the pit of her soul. Its
the type of life-changing event that
could crush any mother, but for Kathy
it became a dening moment that
turned a journalist, lmmaker, and
mother-of-two into a warrior and social
activist who has made her impact felt
around the world.
She is the author of Angel Catcher, Soul
Catcher, and Love Catcher, a series of
popular self-guided journals written with
her daughter Amy Eldon Turteltaub
that help people negotiate loss and
grief, nd their purpose, and introduce
more love into their lives.

Janie B to Close
Village Beat
by Kelly Mahan

VILLAGE BEAT Page 244
U
pper Village gift and home
accessory store, Janie B, will
close its doors after five years.
Owner Jane Barrett tells us the deci-
sion to close the popular shop was
not easy, but she says she is looking
forward to switching gears in her life.
No one ever goes out of business
at the top of their game, which is why
I decided to close the store right after
the holidays, Barrett said. This sea-
son will be her sixth holiday season
operating the store, which is located
next to Bryant and Sons. The store and
business are profitable, she says, but
Barrett wants to focus on other things,
including design projects for local real
estate development, and tending to
her daughter, who has special needs.
It is a full time job being an advocate
for her, Barrett said.
The namesake shop is a gift and
home accessory store showcasing
Barretts sense of style. Table and din-
nerware, linens, furniture, lamps and
decorative accessories are available, as
well as popular candle lines, frames,
throws, pillows, and gift items. The
store features classic pieces as well as
contemporary, and Barrett sells many
lines of items not found elsewhere
in Montecito. Lines include hand
blown glass by Simon Pearce, Italian
tableware by Vietri, a pewter line
by Mariposa, and pieces by Michael
Aram, Palecek, and Arte Italia. Right
now the store is filled with holiday
items, including gifts at many price
points.
Barrett has lived in Montecito
over 20 years; her children attended
Jane Barrett, owner of Janie B, will close the
popular gift shop at the end of the year

National Philanthropy Day
T
he Association of Fundraising
Professionals (AFP) expected
about 200 attendees at their
annual awards luncheon. Instead, the
Loggia Room at the Biltmore was
jammed to the hilt with nearly 300
guests. The AFP represents more than
30,000 fundraisers in 207 chapters
around the world. The AFP Chapter of
Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties
represent more than one hundred
charitable fundraisers. They foster
development and growth of profes-
sionals and promote high ethical stan-
dards in the fundraising profession
through advocacy, research, educa-
tion, and certification programs.
Co-president Dena Jenson intro-
duced emcee C.J. Ward who is anchor
for KEYT News Channel 3. Yes, hes
married to his co-anchor. People
always ask, Do your outfits have to
match? C.J. replied, No. She tells me
what to wear and I wear it.
Philanthropist of the Year for Santa
Barbara County was Virgil Elings
with Kurt Ransohoff, M.D. present-
ing. Virgil is a former professor of
physics at UCSB who founded Digital
Instruments in 1987 and served as
president until 1999. Another biggie
is that Sansum Clinic now offers a
free colonoscopy program thanks to
Elings. He told us, They rejected
my slogan, which was Get off your
butt and stick something in it. One
of those tests saved his own life and
he wants to return the favor. Besides
being a brain, he loves to ride motor-
cycles and parasail and of course,
Elings Park is named for Virgil.
Presenting was Lanyard Dial,
M.D. to the Livingston Memorial
Foundation (LMF) of Ventura County.
Laura McAvoy and Dr. Charles Hair
spoke on behalf of LMF. The organi-
zation has administered a trust dedi-
cated to the promotion of medical
and health services to the people of
Ventura County. It has now expand-
ed to encourage hospitals to deliver
countywide home health care. The
trust has been renamed the Livingston
Memorial Visiting Nurse Association.
Dr. Hair is 93 and one of the original
board members.
Volunteer of the Year was Christy
Kolva with Rick Scott presenting.
Christys mantra is, The more you
give, the more you get. She is on the
Cancer Centers board and co-chaired
one of the best events Ive attended.
It was to celebrate the merger of the
Cancer Center with Sansum Clinic.
The Coming Together gala netted
$1.2 million with the help of honored
guest Jay Leno. Christy is involved
with many more organizations as well.
Ventura Countys Volunteer of the
Year was Mary Leavens Schwabauer,
with presenter Hugh Ralston. Marys
legacy goes back to her rancher grand-
father, who lived in Santa Paula over
100 years ago. Mary established
AFP honorees Mary Leavens Schwabauer and
Rebecca Anderson at the annual National
Philanthropy Day luncheon
George Kolva with his honoree wife, Christy, along with Laura McAvoy and Dr. Charles Hair representing

Andrias Harborside
Many of you may remember
that iconic restaurant at the corner
of Cabrillo and Castillo, Andrias
Harborside, owned by Dallas and
Peter Clark. Now you can buy Dallass
book and recreate some of your favor-
ite dishes from the good ol days.
Dallas (formerly Dorothy from
Texas) held court at Tecolote Book
Shop for a signing of her recently
completed book, Andrias Harborside,
Secret Recipes of a Santa Barbara Icon,
co-authored by Alicia St. John. Also
included is a CD of some of Peters
jazz music.
Art and jazz were as much a part of
this distinctive restaurant as the food.
Peter is not only a pianist (he accom-
panied Jane Russell many times), but
a vocalist, composer, arranger, pro-
ducer, and artist. Peter co-managed
the restaurant, created the art gallery,
designed the interior spaces, and was
in charge of the live entertainment. He
not only played, but also had guest
artists each week.
It was common for Andrias
to serve six hundred dinners on
Friday or Saturday with standing
room only in the bar to hear the
musicians. Peter and Dallas found-
ed the Jazz Festival and had many
greats hanging out at Andrias. A
very few of the long list of celeb-
rity clientele included Helen Reddy,
Dave Brubeck, Paul Anka, Jonathan
Winters, Bishop Desmond Tu Tu,
Mike Douglas, William Shatner, and
Frankie Avalon.
Dallas took care of the daily opera-
tions, always greeting the patrons.
The restaurant was even featured in
the prestigious Michelin Guide as a
must for European travelers. So pick
up a copy of Andrias Harborside and
travel back in time with good food,
great art, and all that jazz. MJ

ed jeans and convert them into this
insulation material for the childrens
museum project. What a great way to
get young kids and families involved
and have them feel some ownership in
the building.
It would also teach them about
conservation and probably would
save us significant money in the con-
struction process. But I had no idea
how to get started.
After many phone calls, Paul, who
was also one of the founders of the Los
Angeles Childrens Museum in 1979
and was both president and chair-
man over the years, found Cotton
Incorporated, the public relations arm
of the U.S. cotton industry.
They had a program whereby they
collected old jeans at some universities
around the country and recycled them
into Ultra Touch, which is the blue
insulation material that was used in
the San Francisco project, which is the
largest public building in the world
to earn a Platinum LEED designation
from the U.S. Green Building Council.
Most of the material was then being
used in Habitat for Humanity projects
being built around the country.
I asked if they had ever given some
of the material to other non-profit com-
munity benefit projects and they said
they had not really thought about it.
Paul, who estimates around $160,000
was saved using similar denim insu-
lation at the 500-seat Annenberg
Theater in Beverly Hills historic old
post office building, told them about
the childrens museum project in our
Eden by the Beach so that youngsters
and their families could contribute
their old jeans, learn about cotton and
recycling, and then feel some involve-
ment in their new museum.
They told me it sounded like a
good idea and theyd be interested
in helping us. Since all of this was in
2010 and we were still in the planning
stages, I told them wed like to work
with them, but it would be a few
years until wed actually be ready for
the material, adds Paul. We are cur-
rently finalizing plans for this project
and hope to roll it out next year.
It is a great feeling to know that
a simple idea could turn out so well.
One down and one to go.

Back Together Again
Some 28 years after last appearing
with Michael J. Fox in the hit film
Back to the Future, Montecito actor
Christopher Lloyd has reunited with
him on the TV screen in New York.
The dynamic duo, who starred in
the second and third installments of
the Robert Zemeckis franchise in 1989
and 1990 respectively, have remained
great friends over the years.
Christopher, 75, just filmed a guest
appearance on NBCs The Michael J.
Fox Show, playing a principal at a high
school where Foxs on-screen wife
works.
Michael himself plays a news anchor
with Parkinsons Disease, mirroring
the 52-year-old Canadian actors own
condition.
While it doesnt look like the
Delorean will also be making an
appearance, theres no doubt the very
special guest will boost the shows
sluggish ratings.
The episode, Im told, is due to air
in the spring...

THE WRITE STUFF
The All-Girl Filling Stations
Last Reunion
by Susan Miles Gulbransen
W
riters find their stories in
every place imaginable:
through a friend, People
magazine, the dinner table, eaves-
dropping in a restaurant. Usually
these seeds come unexpectedly and
then grow into the multi-layered tree
of a story. Often theres a story behind
the novel. In the case of Fannie Flaggs
newest book, The All-Girl Filling
Stations Last Reunion, the story harks
back to her first big hit in 1988, Fried
Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Caf.
The first novel was based on her
Aunt Bess Fortenberry, owner of the
Irondale Caf, a two-room caf seat-
ing 30 people, which Flagg called The
Whistle Stop Caf. Before the book
came out, her aunt had sold the res-
taurant to the McMichael family, but
Flagg remained friends with the own-
ers. In 1999, eight years after the movie
Fried Green Tomatoes was released,
Flagg called to say hi and see how
things were going, especially since
fame had changed the Irondale Caf
into a major tourist attraction with its
block-sized caf and store seating 260.
Honey, Im so glad you called,
Mrs. McMichael said, because a
group of women who flew military
airplanes during World War II are
here having a reunion lunch. They call
themselves WASP.
Flagg had heard little about the
Womens Airforce Service Pilots
(WASP), a paramilitary organization,
but was fascinated with the idea.
Before hanging up, she said, Give
the women my love and let me pick
up the check.
Into Fannies Hands
A short time later one of the WASPs,
Nancy Batson Crews, co-authored a
book about her experiences flying
nearly every military aircraft during
the war. She had been a debutante,
well educated, and knew how to fly.
She, like the other more than 1,700
WASPs, wanted to do something for
the war effort. These women were
part of the development, testing, and
delivery of military aircraft, as well as
other services as a way to free up male
pilots for combat duty. Shortly before
the war ended, Congress refused to
incorporate WASP into the military
and disbanded them because many
felt they threatened mens jobs. The
women received no benefits, not
even the 38 who died in flying acci-
dents. Their families had to pay for
the bodies to be shipped home. The
government did not even provide an
American flag draped over their cof-
fins as it did for military personnel
killed in war accidents.
Crews died shortly after her book
came out, but her co-author sent a
copy to Flagg. A few years later, she
picked up the book and realized she
had missed an inscription from the co-
author on the front page. It read, The
last thing Nancy said was Get this
information into Fannies hands.
Flagg says, I knew right then
Nancy wanted me to write about the
WASP. Out of that came a major sto-
ryline of The All-Girl Filling Stations
Last Reunion.
When I mentioned that the book
seemed reminiscent of Fried Green
Tomatoes, Flagg said, Its very special
and similar to Fried Green Tomatoes
because both books came to me in
similar ways and out of the same caf.
Ive written each with two story lines,
one in past and one in present with
connections throughout the story. I
feel both novels have much in com-
mon.
The book opens in contemporary
Alabama as Sookie Pooles life enters
a new phase with her children gone
on their own and time to enjoy life
and her husband, Earle. The only rub
in this perfect picture is a flamboy-
ant and popular but highly critical
mother who has a habit of lamenting
her missed chances for fame as an
actress because she had Sookie and
her younger brother.
Sookies life changes directions
when she finds that her mother has
kept some family history a secret.
Enter the all-girl filling station in the
1940s into the storyline. Flagg once
more uses her talent to convey life in
the south made rich with humor and
eccentric, likable characters.
Flagg tells much of their stories
through letters. They give a good
sense of the times and people. Since
much of my research was about the
1940s, I ended up reading lots of per-
sonal letters. Those letters were writ-
ten while the people were in combat
away from home. It seemed natural to
use the same method as a good way to
get information across.
During our interview, Ms. Flagg
added that there will be a special
float in the upcoming Rose Parade on
January 1 to honor the WASP, 200 of
whom are still alive.
After almost 70 years, its about time.
Ms. Flagg will be available to sign
her book at Chaucers Books on
Monday, December 9, beginning at 5
pm. MJ
We Came, We Saw,
We Conquered... Thanksgiving!
Ernies World
by Ernie Witham
Read more home and garden adventures in Ernies book, A Year in the Life of a
Working Writer, available in print and e-book versions at amazon.com
S
heppard, party of forty, your
tables are ready.
Thanksgiving this year was
at my brother-in-law and sister-in-
laws modest home in Carmel Valley.
And like every year they invited all
the relatives. Unlike previous years,
though, this year they said...
Sounds great, well be there.
Sounds great, well be there.
Sounds great, well ALL be there.
Forty people, three generations, two
large dogs, one small dog, and a cat
that mainly stayed on the perimeter
and meowed curses at the incoming
invasion.
Everyone brought something
to share. We had copious amounts
of hors doeuvres including meats,
cheeses, breads, and enough veggie
platters to start our own vegan colony.
There was a cadre of casseroles, many
involving beans of the world, Idahos
entire yearly crop of potatoes, a couple
dozen pies, and of course an abundant
amount of turkey, stuffing, and gravy.
We also had a huge plateful of ham
until we took our eye off the dog for a
split second.
There were some less traditional
offerings this year. For one, my wife
told me she read that Bob was bring-
ing a Salamander.
Hes bringing a lizard? Is that like a
traditional dish in Wisconsin?
Turns out that was an email typo and
what he brought was a Salmanazar,
which is a really big bottle of wine. So
big, in fact, that rather than try to pour
it into glasses, Bob decided to put it
into decanters. This became a three-
man operation. Bob held the decant-
ers in place, I manned the filter and
funnel, and John was the siphoner.
He stuck a long plastic tube into the
elevated bottle and sucked on it until
he got a mouthful of wine and swal-
lowed several times.
How is it? someone asked.
Tastes better than gasoline, John
said. No one asked him how he knew
that, but we all checked our gas gaug-
es later.
Sally brought a beautiful white lace
tablecloth, which I immediately tried
to stay away from. White and I do not
get along well together. I got a stain on
my last white dress shirt while I was
still trying it on at Macys.
But then someone said Sally want-
ed people to sign the tablecloth with
magic markers. I have fallen for this
kind of trick before, so I hung back,
but sure enough, people began writ-
ing all over it. When it came to be my
turn I quickly finished my decanter,
er, glass, of wine and proceeded to
write about my early upbringing in
New Hampshire, my journey across
the United States, my years as a strug-
gling writer, etc. until someone took
my pens away.
At one point someone suggested a
group photo and I said thats a great
idea, so they assumed that meant I
wanted to be the one to take it. So, I
finished my new decanter, er, glass, of
wine, set up a tripod on the sloping
front yard, falling down the hill sever-
al times, which was nice because I got
to meet the neighbors. When I thought
I had things ready I herded everyone
off the deck, down the stairs and onto
a flat spot, suggesting they all line up
in an orderly fashion. Fifteen minutes
later, I gave up, took several photos
anyway then fell down the hill again.
I dont think the guy in back was
smiling, the neighbors told me.
When it was finally time for the big
meal, I found my placard and took my
seat. I think Ive impressed the family
over the years because they let me sit
at one of the adult tables this time.
In keeping with tradition, Mattie
thanked people for coming and listed
their contributions to the party. I tried
to remember if I actually brought any-
thing or whether I left it in the trunk
like last year, finding it shortly after
the Fourth of July.
Finally, Kate, Quinn, and Max per-
formed a nice little Thanksgiving rap
and we all proceeded to eat ourselves
into near oblivion.
Thats when the music came up
and people began line dancing in the
atrium, which went on into the wee
hours. That was good because it took
that long for Bob and me to finish the
Salamander, er, Salmanazar of wine.
Cant wait to see who shows up next
year. MJ

Exquisite ofce building in the heart
of downtown Santa Barbara
4,500 sf freestanding building in a convenient location
Elegant fnishes and impeccable attention to detail
On-site reserved parking and prominent signage
neering details of the project. It
will also cripple agriculture in the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and
it will devastate our already belea-
guered fisheries.
But for Santa Barbara residents, two
reasons trump all others: expense and
function.
DWR blithely claims the Twin
Tunnels will cost around $25 bil-
lion. At best, this is inept analysis;
at worst, it is outright prevarication.
It is pro forma for state agencies to
underestimate the cost of ambitious
public works projects. The Coastal
Branch, after all, ended up costing
more than six times DWRs origi-
nal quote. And for a more recent
example, try the new eastern span
of the San Francisco Bay Bridge. In
1997, state officials put the price tag
for the new bridge at $1.3 billion. It
ended up soaking taxpayers for $6.4
billion. Thats five times the original
estimate.
It would be naive to think the Twin
Tunnels would conform to a different
pattern. The $25 billion cited by the
Brown administration has no bearing
on the final bottom line. Independent
analysts have calculated that the ulti-
mate cost could top out at $69 bil-
lion. Thats a staggering sum, and
it will all come out of the pockets
of ratepayers, including everyone
who lives in Montecito. Adding true
insult to this deep and abiding injury,
urban and suburban ratepayers will
pay far more than Central Valley
corporate farmers, who will receive
their water from the project at lav-
ishly subsidized rates.
Debt of this magnitude under-
cuts the fiscal stability of the state,
the economic viability of communi-
ties, and the financial security of
individual citizens. It is unconscio-
nable and unjustifiable. And heres
the great and bitter irony: the Twin
Tunnels will do nothing to increase
water deliveries to the Central Coast.
Thats because they are a mere water
conveyance system, a couple of gar-
gantuan pipes capable only of deliv-
ering water, not procuring it.
There is an implacable calculus to
Californias water. As it stands, annu-
al snowpack in the Sierra Nevada
and Trinity Mountains yields about
29 million acre feet of consump-
tive water annually. This is insuf-
ficient to meet demand. Water rights
claims are 153.7 million acre feet
more than five times the water than
actually exists. The Twin Tunnels
do nothing to address this imbal-
ance. Indeed, the situation will only
worsen, with or without the tunnels.
Virtually all peer-reviewed climate
change models indicate state snow-
pack will dwindle dramatically in
the next 100 years. There will be less
water to export, meaning the ratio-
nale for the Twin Tunnels becomes
shakier than ever.
So to repeat: CWIN does not sup-
port shutting down the Coastal
Branch. We do oppose early renewal
of Santa Barbara Countys SWP con-
tract, and we do oppose the Twin
Tunnels project. And we continue to
promote a rational and cost-effective
long-term program for improving
water security one based on conser-
vation, recycling, and local sources.
The state got us into this mess, but
were going to have to rely on our-
selves to get out of it.

(Editors note: Ms. Krieger is President
and Executive Director of the California
Water Impact Network. We agree with
her on the advisability of developing
various sources of water, the desirability
of a ready-to-go desalination plant, the
adoption of conservation measures, and
the financial folly of a Twin Tunnels
project. The one area in which we find
fault is in her statement that Virtually
all peer-reviewed climate change models
indicate state snowpack will dwindle
dramatically in the next 100 years.
Meteorologists cannot predict snowfall
with any certainty more than two weeks
out, so what may or may not happen
in 2113 is strictly wild speculation.
What isnt speculative, however, is the
probability of the need for water supply
diversity. J.B.) MJ

unusual gift ideas, coming up
with that special something for the

real challenge. In recent years, it has

become socially acceptable to make
a donation to a non-profit organiza-
tion in lieu of another tchotchke. One
organization that has both a challenge
grant to meet and an unusual gift item
available is the Center for Western and
Cowboy Poetry, which maintains a
website called the Bar-D Ranch, found
at CowboyPoetry.com. It has recently
issued a double-CD Christmas com-
pilation called The Bar-D Roundup,
Volume Eight.
According to Margo Metegrano,
editor of CowboyPoetry.com, the new
CD is a joyful release of nearly 50
poems recited by various artists, many
of them the authors of the featured
works. Its a diverse chorus of voices
presenting contemporary and classic
Christmas works.
The CD is a fundraiser for the
Centers Bar-D Ranch, which supports
the community of cowboy (and cow-
girl) poets by publishing their work on
the CowboyPoetry.com website. The
Center also sponsors Cowboy Poetry
Week every April, in conjunction with
National Poetry Month, inaugurat-
ed in 1996 by the New York-based
Academy of American Poets.
Weve worked to preserve and
celebrate the arts and life of rural
communities and the real working
West, said Metegrano. Through
CowboyPoetry.com, Cowboy Poetry
Week, the Rural Library Program, and
social media (Facebook and Twitter),
we reach many people who share our
mission. All this work is done on a
tiny, careful budget.
The Center has recently received

The Christmas Trail
by Badger Clark
The wind is blowin cold down the mountain tips of snow
And cross the ranges layin brown and dead;
Its cryin through the valley trees that wear the mistletoe
And mournin with the gray clouds overhead.
Yes its sweet with the beat of my little hawses feet
And I whistle like the air was warm and blue
For Im ridin up the Christmas trail to you,
Old folks,
Im a-ridin up the Christmas trail to you.
Oh, mebbe it was good when the whinny of the Spring
Had weedled me to hoppin of the bars.
And livin in the shadow of a sailin buzzards wing
And sleepin underneath a roof of stars.
But the bright campfire light only dances for a night,
While the home-fire burns forever clear and true,
So round the year I circle back to you,
Old folks,
Round the rovin year I circle back to you.
Oh, mebbe it was good when the reckless Summer sun
Had shot a charge of fire through my veins,
And I milled around the whiskey and the fightin and fun
Mong the mavricks drifted from the plains.
Ay, the pot bubbled hot, while you reckoned Id forgot,
And the devil smacked the young blood in his stew,
Yet Im lovin every mile thats nearer you,
Good folks,
Lovin every blessed mile thats nearer you.
Oh, mebbe it was good at the roundup in the Fall,
When the clouds of bawlin dust before us ran,
And the pride of rope and saddle was a-drivin of us all
To stretch of nerve and muscle, man and man.
But the pride sort of died when the man got weary eyed;
Twas a sleepy boy that rode the nightguard through,
And he dreamed himself along a trail to you,
Old folks,
Dreamed himself along a happy trail to you.
The coyotes Winter howl cuts the dusk behind the hill,
But the ranchs shinin window I kin see,
And though I dont deserve it and, I reckon, never will,
Therell be room beside the fire kep for me.
Skimp my plate cause Im late.
Let me hit the old kid gait,
For tonight Im stumblin tired of the new
And Im ridin up the Christmas trail to you,
Old folks,
Im a-ridin up the Christmas trail to you.
lenge donation and all facets
of the program can go for-
ward, said Margo.
So whether you buy the new
Bar-D double CD as the per-
fect stocking stuffer, or make
a donation toward this worthy
challenge grant, adding a little cowboy
poetry to your Christmas season is an
easy way to spread the holiday spirit.
How To Buy or Donate

online by credit card to the Center

Los Arroyos Update
Los Arroyos on Coast Village Road
has brought Santa Barbaras Tim
Sanchez in as Regional Executive
Chef. Sanchez, whose family owns
and operates Montecito Barbers, tells
us cooking has been his passion since
the age of 16.
Sanchez, a former freelance writer
for the L.A. Times and other publica-
tions and productions, had his first job
in Montecito, working as a delivery
boy for Coast Village Pharmacy (what
is now Vons Pharmacy). His first day
on the job, he was tasked with making
a delivery to Bonnymede, where he
was invited in for lunch by a friendly
woman who had prepared lunch for
herself and her husband. His fifteen-
minute delivery took over two hours,
and he came close to losing his job,
but the boss Sanchez says, kept him
on.
A few weeks later, he was making
another delivery to the Bonnymede
address, and when he arrived the
kind woman asked him to stay for
lunch again. He agreed, although
lunch wasnt quite ready, so the
woman gave him a quick cooking
lesson on how to blanch asparagus.
Consistency in temperature is key!
she said, as Sanchez recalls. Another
cooking tip: Its all about the sauce,
the woman preached. It would be his
first and most significant cooking les-
son, as Sanchez later learned the nice
woman who had invited him in was
Julia Child, who had been staying at a
friends condo in Montecito; she later
resided at Casa Dorinda before her
death in 2004.
From that point on, Sanchez says he
developed a love of food and cooking,
and before coming to Los Arroyos he
catered private events and worked as
a private teaching chef, giving cook-
ing lessons in peoples homes.
Fresh, clean, and dynamic food
excites me! he told us earlier this
week at Los Arroyos. Friends of the
Arroyo family, Sanchez is oversee-
ing the companys four restaurants:
Montecito, Santa Barbara, Camarillo,
and Reno, Nevada, and helping to
open the fifth, located in Goleta.
The California locations of Los
Arroyos have switched to using local
and organic produce from Montecito
Urban Farms, located in Summerland.
Sanchez has created seasonal specials
with the produce, while maintain-
ing the original menu Los Arroyos
is known for. Im focusing on using
ingredients with high nutritional con-
tent, and using seasonal produce for
the freshest taste, he said.
The Santa Barbara and Montecito
locations will also soon be open for
breakfast, beginning the first of the
year, according to Sanchez. The Goleta
location is expected to open in March,
and will also serve breakfast. Items
will include breakfast sandwiches,
egg dishes, and traditional brunch
items, with a healthy Mexican twist,
Sanchez says. This is the perfect spot;
people can enjoy coffee and breakfast
on the patio, he says. Breakfast service
will start at 7 am, beginning in January.
Los Arroyos is located at 1280 Coast
Village Road in Montecito. Call 969-
9059 or visit www.losarroyos.net for
more information.

Chef Tim Sanchez, who has made some changes

Coming & Going

Beverlyes Bonus Years
T
he American Cancer Society
held its 100
th
anniversary Riviera
Ball at El Encanto on Saturday,
November 16, and the events orga-
nizers chose longtime Montecito resi-
dent Beverlye Fead as both its key-
note speaker and honoree.
It was an easy decision.
Beverlye has been involved with
the Cancer Society for more than ten
years. Shed been named a Hero of
Hope, appointed as an ACS Legislative
Ambassador, a speaker for the soci-
etys Relay For Life, and had been
previously chosen as Volunteer of the
Year. She also founded, established,
and designed the Fisher Living Room
at the Santa Barbara Cancer Center, a
waiting room for cancer patients.
Eleven years ago, she was diag-
nosed with Stage IV Uterine Stromal
Sarcoma, and after her successful
alternative treatment, she wrote I Can
Do This: Living With Cancer, Tracing a
Year of Hope.
Dr. Kurt Ransohoff is my inter-
nist, Beverlye says during a conversa-
tion in the living room of her spacious
Montecito Shores condominium. Hes
the one that found my cancer original-
ly, or at least my second diagnosis, she
corrects. Her first diagnosis uterine
lining cancer occurred 27 years ago.
Dr. Charles Forscher from Cedars
Sinai, she recounts, was the one that
went back to that first cancer and found
out that the cells had moved into my
abdomen, thus creating the eight large
tumors that I live with. She notes that
she happened to be in the right place
at the right time, because otherwise
her treatment would have been chemo,
which she says she would have turned
down. My mother, grandmother, and
my two sisters, she notes, had all
died after radiation, chemotherapy,
and operations.
Dr. Forscher concluded that
Beverlyes cancer was hormone driven
and, along with Dr. Frederick Eilber
at UCLA, came up with the hormone
therapy that saved her life and that
she continues to follow, consisting of
a shot every four months [of hor-
mone blockers] and a pill every day.
Beverlye, who was born in Seattle,
Washington and who will celebrate her
80
th
birthday next July 16, says her job
now is to pay it forward. She says
she has been given these bonus years
for some reason. I didnt really deserve
them, but theyve been bestowed upon
me and I want to help the next person
whos been diagnosed.
The Evening Event
During the elegant Riviera Ball at
El Encanto, guests were serenaded
by songstress Monica Mancini, who
was accompanied by internationally
acclaimed jazz pianist Shelly Berg.
Monicas delivery of her fathers mon-
ster hit, Moon River, was both heart-
felt and moving. Host duties were
performed by Beverlyes good friend,
former Regis Philbin TV sidekick Ann
Abernethy Gursey.
Beverlye was a friend of Monicas
father, composer-conductor-arrang-
er Henry Mancini, and her mother,
Ginny, when she lived in Beverly
Hills. Monica Mancini went to school
with my children, Jim and Terry, she
explains. So I knew Monica growing
up. She also knew Kurt Ransohoff
(CEO, President, and Medical Director,
Sansum Clinic), who introduced her at
the Riviera Ball. Dr. Ransohoff was her
sons friend and went through school
with him.
When asked about her talk that
night, Beverlye confesses one regret: I
didnt talk enough about my husband
[Bob Fead, Burt Bacharachs partner
in music publishing for 17 years, until
recently], who has been so supportive.
Truthfully, he has been by my side,
and what everybody has forgotten
as well they should is that I still
live with Stage IV cancer. He doesnt
forget. Hes still there, being nervous
with me at every CAT scan.
Artist & Photographer
Beverlye, not one to remain inac-
tive, has returned to her first love: art.
After moving to Montecito Shores, she
discovered the unusual and intriguing
sandstone boulders that line the rock
berm in front of the complex.
I had looked at these rocks and
said to my daughter, I dont know
whether to write a poem about them
or to paint them or to photograph
them. Her daughter suggested she
do all three.
And she has.
She began taking photos of the
boulders with an old film Minolta
camera. Some of her friends admired
them so much they began to buy
them from her. Word got out and
shes now preparing a show that will
run through the holidays at William
Laman Furniture Garden Antiques in
Montecito. Her framed and unframed
photos will be on sale with prices
ranging from $450 to $1,250.
The shops in the new development
just behind San Ysidro Pharmacy are
joining in a Christmas party and cel-
ebration all day Thursday, December
5. The event will be open to the public
and food, dessert, and wine will be
served at most of the stores, businesses,
and boutiques. There will be a recep-
tion at William Laman for Beverlye
from 5 pm to 8 pm that evening.
Beverlye also has a blog found
at ageinginhighheels.com and bever
lyehymanfead.com that she plans
to turn into a book about aging with
humor and nostalgia. The high
heels part is more metaphoric than
real, she says, explaining that, not
everybody can wear high heels, but
we can all act like we do.
Another Diagnosis
Beverlye has recently been diag-
nosed with myla dysplasia, or pre-leu-
kemia. It means I have a low white
blood count that could turn into leu-
kemia at any moment or not. And
so, I take blood tests every month. Im
in a danger zone, she admits.
Does she expect to go through
chemotherapy if she develops leu-
kemia?
No, but with the information the
way it is today, she says with a laugh,
research will probably take care of
that too. I told my daughter that even-
tually shes going to have to put a
pillow over my head and smother me
because theyre going to keep coming
up with ways to solve problems and
Im going to keep on living.
We hope and plan to be among
those to join Beverlye and Bob in a
toast to her health on her 80
th
birthday,
come July 16. MJ
Beverlye Fead and her granddaughter (Terrys
daughter) Tessa, co-wrote Nana, Whats Cancer?
when Tessa was 11 years old. She is now a six-
foot-tall 15-year-old volleyball player and a soph-
omore at Brentwood High School in Los Angeles
who plans to become a pediatric oncologist sur-
geon. She seems very serious about it, Beverlye
notes with pride.
Beverlye Fead will be on hand at William Laman in Montecito Village on Thursday, December 5, from
5 pm to 8 pm; her photographs will be on sale then and will remain on display through the end of the
Christmas holiday period

Boy Scouts Receive
Donation
Montecito Boy Scout Troop 33, the
second oldest Troop in Santa Barbara,
has yet another reason to be thank-
ful this season. Tim Sanchez, owner
of Montecito Barber Shop, recently
presented Montecito Troop 33 with
an inReach Satellite Communicator
to enhance safety on the troops hikes
and campouts.
Scoutmaster and Montecito resident
Dave Cantin expressed his gratitude,
saying, We are a very active troop in
the local back country and we realized
that we were in need of some updated
outdoor equipment for the Scouts.
Montecito Barbers offered to donate
a satellite communicator to the troop
in order to enable communication
with Scout parents, or emergency per-
sonnel during hikes and campouts.
The technologically advanced device
enable parents to track on their com-
puters the exact current troop location
during trips.
Sanchez, who cuts the hair of many
of the Scouts and their dads, says I
just want the Scouts safe; our entire
Barber Shop enjoys hearing them
share stories about their hikes and the
new skills they are learning.
Earlier this summer, Montecito Boy
Scouts Troop 33 marked a resurgence;
the 75-year-old troop had been tempo-
rarily halted due to lack of youth par-
ticipation. A significant surge in new
membership revitalized the group,
partly by merging with Troop 50 from
Carpinteria.
Scouting is a year-round program for
boys ages 11 to 17, designed to build
future community leaders; 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. The
Boy Scouts participate in several com-
munity events in Montecito, includ-
ing Beautification Day and the Village
Fourth parade; they also sell Christmas
trees at a lot in Carpinteria.
The Boy Scouts of America is the
United States largest youth orga-
nization. The Troop meets every
Sunday at 4 pm at the Manning Park
Youth Center and any interested
boy and/or their parents can con-
tact Scoutmaster Dave Cantin at scu
badc@aol.com for more information,
or drop in anytime during a meeting.

YOUR CHOICE OF

CLASSIC RESTAURANTS
On the Stages
of Santa Barbara
On Entertainment
by Steven Libowitz
Steven Libowitz has
reported on the arts and
entertainment for more
than 30 years; he has
contributed to Montecito
Journal for over ten
years.
P
atrick Cassidy has played a lot
of famous roles with a lot of
famous folks. Hes stepped into
parts once played by his famous dad
Jack Cassidy and appeared onstage
with his famous mom Shirley Jones,
as well as opposite roles she once cre-
ated. His credits go on for pages: He
was Frederic in Gilbert and Sullivans
The Pirates of Penzance on Broadway
when he was just 20 and portrayed
future Montecito resident Jeff Barry
in the Ellie Greenwich jukebox musi-
cal Leader of the Pack at 22. With Carol
Burnett also just a couple of years
away from moving to Montecito he
joined the cast of Stephen Sondheims
Company in 1993. Later, he did Annie
Get Your Gun on Broadway with
Cheryl Ladd and in L.A. with Patti
LuPone. Then theres the huge list of
television and film credits.
But Cassidy is perhaps most proud
of what he didnt do: follow in brother
and half brother Shaun and Davids
teen idol pop careers. Instead, he
stayed with acting, mostly on the
stage.
This week, Cassidy comes to Santa
Barbara for his first professional
appearance here in 30 years. On his
last visit, he played the dentist in Little
Shop of Horrors at the Lobero when he
was 23. Hes starring opposite Piper
Laurie, who earned Oscar nomi-
nations for The Hustler, Carrie, and
Children of a Lesser God, and Stephanie
Zimbalist in Sondheims A Little Night
Music, which inaugurates Ensemble
Theaters new permanent home at the
New Vic theater.
He talked about his famous family,
his history in theater, and his love
for Sondheim over the telephone last
week.
Q. Growing up in a show business fam-
ily, was acting always what you wanted to
do? I read that you were more into football
in high school.
A. I came out of the womb and they
said, smile. But, seriously, I was
really on the gridiron path. I was lead-
ing the nation in passing after the first
two games my senior year, but then
I broke my collarbone. I came back
at the end of the season, but in the
interim, I got into the drama depart-
ment. Before that, I only did summer
stock when I was 15 with my mom,
because she said I had to pay half the
cost of my car when I turned 16, and
I wasnt going to earn that at the ice
cream parlor. She said, do a little act-
ing, which is what it was: very little.
I was very wooden, but I could sing.
At school, we did The Music Man,
which has always been very close
to me, because, of course, my mom
starred as Marian in the movie. I was
conceived when they were shooting
it. My mom never told Robert Preston
that she was pregnant, and on that
famous kissing scene on the bridge, I
kicked him through my moms stom-
ach. Twenty years later, I did a Night
of 100 Stars benefit with him and I
introduced myself. He said, No, no.
Weve already met when you kicked
me.
Now, my mom and I are taking
The Music Man out on the road next
summer, doing a 50-year tribute to
the film. Were doing the whole show
with my mom playing Mrs. Paroo,
and well be showing film clips. That
show was the reason I got hooked
on the theater, although I didnt get
to play Harold Hill in high school, if
you can believe it. I figured I was a
shoo-in, but they cast Steve Lawrence
and Eydie Gorms son, and I got a bit
part. Thats Beverly Hills.
Your brothers David and Shaun both
became big pop stars. Why didnt you go
that route?
I grew up singing in bands, doing
rock and roll and pop. Their success
was a huge attraction, and I had every
record company and manager in the
music business wanting to sign me,
too. I actually did sign with Warner
Brothers at one point for something
small. But I also saw the writing on the
wall and realized that can be a short-
lived career. I knew the third time
around with a Cassidy would have
really been a joke. Lightening definite-
ly doesnt strike more than twice. So I
stayed in theater and learned my craft.
Do you think their success helped or
hindered you more?
Initially, of course, it helped.
Everybody wanted to work with me.
But I became pigeonholed based not
only on my first exposure but my fam-
ilys success. I got put in the teen idol
box like the Gibbs. Thats why I made
a conscious choice to do theater and
moved to New York when I was 18.
Frankly, after 35 years, Im still work-
ing as an actor.
Are you a stage dad with your own
kids? Are they studying acting?
Not if I have anything to do with it.
Im joking, but to my children, I really
said to them that you have to get a col-
lege education and have something to
fall back on. This business is so up and
down, if youre lucky enough to get
to work at it, thats already a success,
even if youre not a star. So I nurture
them. I support them. And they both
have a good head on their shoulders.
My younger one has phenomenal tal-
ent as a singer and guitarist, but the
older boy is moving toward engineer-
ing.
Youve played multiple roles in
Sondheims Assassins and starred in
Company. Now, youre doing A Little
Night Music. What is it about Sondheim?
It sounds so clich, but hes the
best. Hes the Shakespeare of musi-
cal theater and even more. His lyrics
are unmatched and his music is like
mathematical genius very complex
and fascinating. There are very few
living composers at that level. In sub-
ject matter, he deals with very difficult
material. For an actor, hes the easi-
est and the hardest to perform. Easy,
because he writes it so specifically;
you dont have to try to find what he
means. On the other side, its very dif-
ficult, because the music is so personal
to him. As a singer its hard to convey
that and stay in character. It demands
the most from any performer. You can
argue about the melodies, but what
he brings to the table the irony, the
truth, the darkness, the humor its
unparalleled.
So it must have been thrilling to origi-
nate the Balladeer role in Assassins.
Very few actors will ever get to meet
Sondheim, let alone originate one of
his roles. You cant really beat having
the music created on you, building it
around your voice and your essence.
Thats forever yours. Youre on the
soundtrack. Youre the one everyone
hears from the original cast album.
Neil Patrick Harris told me when he
was going to play the Balladeer that
he couldnt get me out of his head.
Thats what its about.
How are you relating to your role in
this show?
In most ways, hes very far from
me: a late-40s lawyer at the turn of the
century who is married to an 18-year-
old he hasnt slept with. Hes battling
with getting older and what it means,
figuring out that the value of life is
relationships, not work. Thats the
part I can identify with: transition and
evolving with age. We all go through
it. For me, its been about accepting
this is my life, coming to terms with
things, being affected in ways I never
thought I would. It can be a fearful,

A New Era for the Vic
If early December is a little late for
the Ensemble Theatre Company to be
kicking off its new season, its because
the company had to wait for a huge
remodeling project at its new home,
the Victoria Theater, to be completed.
The 298-seat hall has been completely
reimagined specifically with Ensemble
in mind, with expanded spaces for
dressing rooms, scenery, musicians,
and comfortable seats with great sight
lines. Having it ready now was like an
early Christmas present for executive
artistic director Jonathan Fox.
Its an amazing experience and
an amazing feeling to see it all come
together, Fox said last week, just
six days before opening night. Its a
great space for theater, and I couldnt
be more excited.
Opening with A Little Night Music
was a no-brainer.
I always like the musical tremen-
dously, he said. Its his masterpiece.
Ive been wanting to do it for years.
But it wouldnt have had anything
like this cast or a live orchestra at our
old home at the Alhecama.
In his previous position as artistic
director of a theater in New Jersey, Fox
had arranged to open a new facility
with A Little Night Music, Sondheims
adaptation of Ingmar Bergmans
Smiles on a Summer Night, but had to
shelve it late in the game in favor of
another play.
The lyrics are so clever, even more
so than normal with Sondheim, and
the story is very touching and humor-
ous at the same time, explained Fox.
What youll see are character situa-
tions that are very true to life, espe-
cially for a musical. Its about the
flowering of love and how it makes
fools of everyone.
Night Music is just the opening
production in the inaugural season
at the New Vic, which also features
Good People by David Lindsay-Abaire,
Mary Zimmermans Metamorphoses,
John Logans Red, and Matthew
Lombardos Looped.
I chose plays to show off the tech-
nical capability of the space, ones that
would allow us to stretch both techni-
cally and artistically, Fox said. Its
meant to be fun, inviting, and also
exciting. Were showing off.
Two Endings
Elsewhere in theater, two local
productions come to a close this
week: Genesis Wests ambitious,
soul-shaking Santa Barbara pre-
miere of Wallace Shawns harrow-
ing The Designated Mourner, which
plays Friday and Saturday at 8 pm
at McDermott-Crockett Mortuary
(969-5637). Also, the Plaza Playhouse
Theaters A Christmas Carol, with com-
munity actors, in Carpinteria (4916
Carpinteria Avenue; 7 pm Friday &
Saturday, 5 pm Sunday; 684-6380).
Lobero Reopens with
Guns N Roses Axman
While the opening of the New Vic
completes the plan for the Downtown
Theater District, this week also marks
the reopening of another crown jewel
in the district, as the Lobero Theatre
unveils renovations undergone since
going dark last June.
And theyre coming back with a big,
noisy bang.
The third annual benefit concert
for Note for Notes is on Friday night,
and wed better hope the new riv-
ets are fastened tightly, as Guns N
Roses guitarist Slash guests with
Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable
Band (Conan OBriens house band).
Robert Randolph opens and lots of
special guests are expected. Note for
Notes is the locally started nonprofit
that provides youth with free access
to musical instruments, instruction,
and recording studios to make up for
a loss of access in schools. Forty bucks
gets you in, $50 gets you better seats,
and $100 includes premium seating
and a VIP pre-party.
Next up at the Lobero: Rudolph,
the annual childrens ballet performed
by the students of Gustafson Dance,
featuring apprentices to State Street
Ballet, which plays 2 pm and 6 pm on
Saturday, followed by another great
pop concert pairing Dawes and folkie
friend Blake Mills on Wednesday.
Tickets for all the shows at the Lobero,
located at 33 East Canon Perdido
Street, are available at 963-0761 or

SBCC Grad Plays Gomez
in Addams Family
Jesse Sharp was a big fan of The
Addams Family movies, which hit
screens just as he entered his teen
years. But he never thought hed end
up playing Gomez, the patriarch of
the family dedicated to the macabre
and weird that grew out of Charles
Addams legendary cartoons for the
New Yorker, in a touring show.
Then again, his early college edu-
cation at Santa Barbara City College
prepped him for just about anything.
The actor discussed his background
and the show over the phone in
advance of The Addams Family musi-
cal coming to the Granada this week.
Q. Before we go too far down the road,
tell me about your experience at SBCC.
When were you here? And why dont I see
anything about Santa Barbara on your
resum? Dont you love us anymore?
A. (Laughs). Oh, man, once I went
to grad school, I had to lose one of
the colleges. But I love Santa Barbara.
I moved there at 18, just after high
school, and went to SBCC for two
years. I lived in I.V. and did that
whole thing. I was very heavily
involved in theater. I won the Best
Actor Award in 2000; my name is on
a plaque in the Garvin Theatre some-
where, which is really cool.
Was that for a specific show?
No, they choose one male and
female every year for the whole
year. I was in Greater Tuna, Lone Star,
and The Complete History of America
(Abridged), which was directed by
Rick Mokler. I took some really great
classes with him and Pope Freeman.
Those were my peeps. And I was
also very active with [improv com-
edy group] ComedySportz. I did that
every weekend at the Fess Parker.
That was the beginning of my improv
training. Gary Kramer, who used
to run it, moved to San Diego and
opened National Comedy Theater
and then he started a Manhattan ver-
sion in New York City when I was
there, so I was on his first team. Ive
always kept in touch with that Santa
Barbara connection. My sister is a
junior at UCSB right now. I have a lot
of friends who live there.
[Doing this show] really means
something to me because I audi-
tioned for a production of Grease at
the Granada at 18, and I was terrible,
so I didnt get a callback. To go back
to Santa Barbara and play Gomez
in The Addams Family at that theater
is just huge for me. I grew up in
Kern County, and when we went to
the beach, it was either Ventura or
Santa Barbara. So my roots go back
very deep in the area. I hope to be a
successful actor and retire in Santa
Barbara one day and teach acting at
SBCC.

It took a couple of years and more

former Dos Pueblos High student,
but she still has two other Hollywood

Charlies Good Deed
Four-year-old Charlie LeRenard, a
preschool student at All Saints-by-the
Sea, has inspired a drive that brought
in 643 pounds of non-perishable items
to the FoodBank of Santa Barbara
County last month.
Charlies idea to collect food for
needy children started one morning
when his mother told him to eat all of
his breakfast because other children
werent so lucky and had to go to
school hungry.
He took her comments a step fur-
ther, encouraging parents, staff, parent
council members and parishioners to
donate goods to the cause.
So, just in time for Thanksgiving, a
large truck came to pick up the hefty
pile of donated food.
I have the receipt from the
FoodBank for 643 pounds of food,
says Padric Davis, school director.
Were all very proud of Charlies
efforts for the less fortunate.
Talking Turkey
One of the greatest joys of
Thanksgiving is helping out at the
Rescue Mission, a role I have taken
on for every one of the last six years I
have lived in this tony town.
It is not only an uplifting and hum-
bling experience, helping the more
than 300 homeless who attend, but
makes me realize how truly lucky I
am, whatever the circumstances.
This year Peter Jordano, Man of
the Year in both Santa Barbara and
Goleta can Lompoc be far behind? I
quipped , and his bubbly wife, Gerd,
took time out to be volunteer waiters
passing out the product of 75 roast
turkeys of 200 donated , 40 pounds
of potatoes, two gallons of gravy and
75 pounds of green bean casserole.
We hope this is the onramp for
our recovery program, says Rolf
Geyling, executive director of the
48-year-old charity. It is not just get-
ting food to eat, but it is at an unrushed
pace in a dignified environment.
The demand for our services is
greater than ever as there are fewer
places for people to turn.
Our walk-in shelter has been over-
flowing for the past eighteen months.
Weve certainly been stretched, but
the community is firmly behind us.
We have a two million dollar annual
budget and help between 1,800 and
2,000 people each year.
Definitely food for thought...
Art Geared for Bikes
Santa Barbaras Women With Paint
artists are tackling the subject of bicy-
cles at work, at play and at rest for a
benefit show, Art Geared for Bikes,
at Bici Centro, a project of the SB
Bicycle Coalition, which has set up a
repair shop and education center at
its East Haley property with the goal
of increasing reliability and safety for
local riders.
The 15-year-old group, which has
members aged five to 75 and an annu-
al budget of $250,000 much of it
from grants , has run an afterschool
program for the past seven years and
refurbishes bikes to sell back to the
community, about 500 annually.

It was quite a gas when retired anes-

the 20th anniversary of his 60th with

cutting into his cake with friends,
including Geonine Moriarty, Susan

Burkemper, Alicia St. John, Jean Von
Wittenburg, Gerald Sawyer, and his
daughter, Laurie.
Later in the day the family and rela-

pagne, nosh on pizza and open gifts.

denizen celebrating an 80th birthday
was Tita Lanning, chatelaine of El
Mirador, one of our rarefied enclaves
most historic and great estates, 15
acres of which is now owned by film
director, Ivan Reitman.
Eighteen years ago, Tita wrote her
autobiography The Wit to Win, but
never had it published.
So, to mark the big 8-0, her children,
Bryan and Jennifer, arranged with
polo playing author and publisher
Julia Dawson to have the 479-page
soft-cover memoir published under
her Windhamer imprint and presented
their mother with the book at a bash at
Pierre Lafond in the Upper Village.
It took her two years to put it
together, but, for whatever reason, it
had been gathering dust in a drawer,
so we finally decided to do something
about it to mark moms big birthday,
Jennifer told me at a book launch bash
at Tecolote, the bustling bibliophile
bastion.
It came as a complete surprise,
says Tita, whose first book Seven Tails
about her personal experiences with
animals, including a martini-sipping
bird and a Great Horned Owl that
delighted in hunting tennis balls,
came out in 2002.
The new tome, described as a tale
of Gatsbyesque luxury and Titas suc-
cessful search to find her biological
family chronicles her birth in New
York to a Catholic unwed mother
who put her up for adoption and
her upbringing with Lolita Armour
Mitchell, scion of the Armour Meat
Packing Company, and her husband,
John Jack Mitchell, a founder of
United Airlines.
After my husband died from pros-
tate cancer at a Seattle hospital in the
mid nineties I couldnt look at what
Id written, but Im delighted now that
I have the book actually in my hand,
says Tita. It was a wonderful birth-
day present...
The Meaning of Home
Top Los Angeles interior designer
Jeffrey Alan Marks clearly has a hit
with his first coffee table tome The
Meaning of Home, which is already
having a second print run.
The colorful Rizzoli book, which
features 15 properties he has put his
distinctive imprint on, from Malibu
beach houses, Nantucket cottages and
London townhouses, got its Santa
Barbara launch at a 120-guest recep-
tion at the East De La Guerra empo-
rium of local designer and friend,
Kyle Irwin.
Jeffrey has just wrapped his second
season appearing on Bravos Million
Dollar Decorators show along with
English designer Kathy Ireland, who
sold her six-acre Ojai estate to actress
Reese Witherspoon for $6.9 million...

finger during a live Food Network
Thanksgiving special, with blood rath-
er than gravy pouring everywhere.
I was slicing my turkey porchetta
and I guess I just sliced through my
finger at the same time, says Giada,
43.
When I realized it, I went to the sink
to put pressure to see how big it was.
I think everybody kind of freaked out.
We dont do live television usually on
Food Network. These things usually
get hidden, but I couldnt get hidden...
I got several stitches on a tiny little
finger. The problem is I sliced into my
nail bed.
Its all right. It throbs a little bit.
And I have to sleep like this and basi-
cally walk around like this, holding
my bandaged finger in the air....

Authors Support Small Business
I
nspired by a letter written by
renowned author Sherman Alexie,
bookstore owner Sharon Hoshida
contacted author T.C. Boyle to help
raise awareness of local bookstores
as part of a national campaign. Of
course, he carved out time to do so.
SBCC artistic director Maggie Mixsell
and long time friend of T.C. explains,
Sherman Alexie encouraged and
challenged his peers to fight for the
viability of independent bookstores by
showing up at one or more local book-
stores on Small Business Saturday,
November 30. Our local internation-
ally renowned author, T.C. Boyle,
graciously picked up the challenge
and appeared at our newest indepen-
dent bookstore, Granada Books. Most
authors begin their careers by being
supported by independent book-
stores, so this experience provided an
important way to repay the invaluable
help that local independent sellers
provide. Always generous in giving
his time to our local community, T.C.
attracted a large crowd and boosted
support for this small local business
and the joy of reading.
After a photo op with T.C., Maggie,
Sharon, and Montecito authors Joan
Lentz and Glory Lamb, we talked
about what the event meant to every-
one.
Q: T.C., what are your thoughts about
the digital takeover of physical books and
the possible continued closure of book-
stores? Where do you see it all headed?
(T.C.): Prior to the introduction of
e-books, I was always joking that the
theft of copyright that killed mov-
ies and the music industry would
nail us too, except that nobody cared
enough to bother. So now here we are,
in a market in which e-books flour-
ish alongside physical books. Me? I
have read certain things on my wifes
tablet, but overwhelmingly I prefer
an actual book. I stare into a screen
half the day at work and when work
is done, I want to look at print on a
page. It seems to me that the inde-
pendents left standing after the rise
and fall of the chain stores are all
the stronger now. Witness Chaucers
and Tecolote. I am optimistic about
the future of bookstores in general,
having heard of new stores opening
elsewhere in the country to fill an
aching need. I enjoy browsing, and I
especially enjoy it in that twilit inter-
val between dinner and the theater,
movie, or concert. In a society that
increasingly lives behind walls and

Joan and Glory, how have our local
bookstores supported your books over the
years?
(Glory): Theres nothing nicer than
local support for local talent. The
genuine spirit of encouragement and
attention from the staff at Granada
really made me feel welcome. You
just cant beat that personal touch
with any online experience. Im
happy to say my new book, The Way
We Were, is carried at the Granada
store. Its a coffee table book of his-
toric, sometimes hysteric photos and
anecdotes of the first twenty years
of UCSB, from the Riviera campus
to Goleta.
(Joan): This was sort of an incred-
ible opportunity for me to meet all
my fellow recognized authors, and
thank you to T.C. Boyle for letting us
do the coattails bit! I grew up in
Santa Barbara, and ever since I can
remember my parents both writers
have gone to bookstores. Chaucers
was always a second home, and The
Earthling was fantastic. Both book-
store owners are family friends. There
is nothing so special as an indepen-
dent bookstore, whether it be for
the author or for the reader. These
independent bookstores really care
about community. I think a bookstore
should be a place where people can
get together and perhaps listen to an
author read or speak or give a slide
presentation. From the beginning,
when I wrote my first bird book with
Judith Young and it was published by
Capra Press, I always felt that Santa
Barbara bookstores were on my side.
They make an author feel special,
and they always have books by local
authors in stock or they will order
them. I would say that a bookstore
can be as much of a community fix-
ture as it wants to be, and authors like
those of us here today will always be
there to support it.
Sharon, give all the warmth these
authors express about local bookstores,
what is the mission for your bookstore,
Granada?
(Sharon): We started exploring the
possibilities in September 2011, and
finally realized our vision, opening
the doors to Granada Books on June
20, 2013. Emmett McDonough is the
spark plug behind this idea, and he
has made the whole thing possible
with his financial support. He and
I are owner-partners, and Andrea
McCormick and Mark Zolezzi are
our managing partners. We want
our store to become a community
resource, not only as your favorite
bookstore, but also as a place where
ideas can be expressed and exchanged,
where authors and poets can share
their words, and where children will
learn to love the world of imagination
unleashed by reading. The possibili-
ties are endless.

Alchemy Arts Center
for Holiday Health
Founded by Emma Narachi, the
Alchemy Arts Center offers massage,
organic skincare, yoga, acupuncture,
cleansing programs, and an organic
vegetarian caf. Heres what I discov-
ered when the centers Stevie Mason
invited me to tour the facilities.
The spa is located on the corner of
Chapala and Haley streets, in a sun-
filled two-story building with floor to
ceiling windows, fresh greenery, and
well-appointed design. Stevie met
me in the caf for tea. She explained
that the centers services and inte-
rior are designed to encourage health
and peace. They even use technology
to eliminate negatively charged ele-
ments in the buildings air and water.
Emma joined us. She grew up in
the United Kingdom in a family that
owns and operates several luxury
boutique hotels and spas in Europe.
After studying formal French cordon
bleu cooking and raising two chil-
dren, she moved to our town for its
wonderful outdoor lifestyle. It was
here that she experienced holistic
medicine and shifted her career to
providing these services. We have
created this urban retreat and well-
ness center because we believe there
is a desire among people worldwide
to live a more self-fulfilled life, to
improve the quality of their life expe-
rience, she says. Our aim is to
work with you to achieve your health
goals, and to facilitate the changes
necessary to increase your quality of
life through diet, health treatments,

Your Westmont
Tickets Available
for Saturdays Christmas Fest
by Scott Craig (photos by Brad Elliott)
T
he ninth annual Westmont
Christmas Festival, Prepare
the Way, features music span-
ning 600 years celebrating Advent
and Christmas December 6-8 at First
Presbyterian Church. Tickets, which
are $25 each and support the Westmont
Choirs tour to Russia in spring 2014,
are still available for the special benefit
performance on Saturday, December
7, at 3 pm. Tickets can only be pur-
chased online at: westmont.edu/christ
masfestival. For more information,
please contact the Westmont Music
Department at (805) 565-6040.
The festival has become one of the
most popular holiday events in Santa
Barbara, selling out each of three per-
formances the past eight years. Tickets
quickly sold out for this years three
performances December 6-7 at 8 pm
and December 8 at 3 pm. This is
the first year the Westmont Music
Department has added a Saturday
matinee fundraiser.
This years festival theme, Prepare
the Way, speaks to three perspectives
of the Christian experience. There
is the Old Testament prophetic voice
calling us to make the path ready
for Messiah, which naturally leads
to the story of the Christ child, says
Michael Shasberger, Adams profes-
sor of music and worship and festival
director. Then, there is the call of John
the Baptist to prepare for the coming
of Jesus and his ministry among us. In
the present day there is the call to pre-
pare for the second coming of Christ.
The music and readings of the festi-
val will celebrate and proclaim all three
modes of preparedness. Traditional
carols of the season will be inter-
twined with historic and contempo-
rary choral masterpieces performed by
the 60-piece Westmont Orchestra and
100 combined voices of the Westmont
choirs, Shasberger says.
Change of Business Plan
Due to a family emergency, the
24th annual Westmont Business
Plan Competition has been pushed
to Tuesday, December 10, from 3:15-
6:30 pm in Hieronymus Lounge at
Westmonts Kerrwood Hall.
Rick Ifland, director of the Eaton
Program for Entrepreneurship and
Innovation at Westmont, says students
will present plans they hope will solve
some of the deepest problems encoun-
tered by disadvantaged families in
poverty-stricken areas. The event is
free and open to the public.
Womens Soccer Aims
for National Title
Warriors Kathryn Hornibrook
and Brooke Lillywhite each scored
a goal to lead the Westmont wom-
ens soccer team 2-0 over Martin
Methodist (Tennessee) December 2
in Orange Beach, Alabama, propel-
ling the team into the NAIA National
Quarterfinals.
Lillywhite, a freshman from
Huntington Beach, headed in the
games first goal in the first half on
assists by Amanda Diesen and Alison
Hensley. Hornibrooks goal came
in the second half on an assist by
Tiffany Dimaculangan. Hornibrook
is a junior forward who transferred to
Westmont after playing two seasons at
Houghton College.
At a banquet the night before the
game, the women were honored with
the NAIA Champions of Character
Team Award, given annually to one
team from each sport that exemplifies
five core values of integrity, respect,
responsibility, sportsmanship, and
servant leadership.
Our team has represented the five
core values in many different ways
this season, said Westmont head
coach Kristi Kiely. We made a com-
mitment in August that win or lose
we would run clinics after most of our
home conference games.
The clinics were an outgrowth of the
teams trip to Africa in May of 2013.
Our women initiated, organized and
raised funds for a team trip to Kenya
and Uganda, said Kiely. We spent 16
days partnering with Sports Outreach
Institute in Nairobi, Kampala, and
Gulu. Sports Outreach uses soccer as
a tool to reach communities and serve
in creative ways. They feed hundreds
of children in each city with a daily
feeding program and have a farm
in Gulu committed to rebuilding the
war-torn region through sustainable
development.
Our women served alongside
these committed indigenous men and
women and witnessed hardship on
a scale many had never experienced.
Each night we processed the good,
bad, and difficult of each day, chal-
lenging and building each other up.
The dividends this fall have been
immeasurable. MJ

Nobel-worthy stories Were not
sure if Speaking of Stories executive
director Maggie Mixsell opted to
dedicate a one-off weekend to stories
by Alice Munro only after the venerable
Canadian author won the Nobel Prize
in Literature in October. But the timing
couldnt have been better either way.
Murno, 82, has said her 14th collection
of short stories, Dear Life, published
barely a year ago, would be her last.
Now, SoS is honoring the writer whose
work has been lauded as visceral,
spare, astute, and revolutionary by hav-
ing three local actresses read three selec-
tions from Dear Life as the final SoS
event before the full season begins in
January. Montecitos Pamela Dillman
Haskell who was absolutely brilliant
and endearing in her recent appearance
in a staged reading of The Little Prince
accompanied by classical guitar opens
the evening with the story that opens the
collection, To Reach Japan. Anne
Guynn seen most recently in Rubicon
Theatres Our Town and SBCCs August:
Osage County takes on Corrie,
while Sylvia Short, whose film and
TV career dates back to The Birdcage
and Newsies, closes out the night read-
ing In Sight of the Lake. As with all
Munro stories, the works illuminate the
moments that create major change in
life by chance or fate or actions not
taken. As always, enjoy cookies and
milk with the performers out on the patio
after the show. WHEN: 2pm today,

Recess for Adults According
to Rick Steves, popular host of
TV and radio travel shows and a
best-selling travel author, Travel
is intensified living, with maximum
thrills per minute. Its recess, and
we need it. So even if you cant
afford the money or time to take
a full-on vacation to a tropical
paradise or remote locale of your dreams, you can still enjoy a mini-siesta over at
the Granada Theatre, where Steves give his talk Lessons from a Lifetime of Travel
tonight. Steves, who is making his Santa Barbara debut, has written more than 50
European guidebooks and hosted travel shows on radio and TV for many years. The
lecture encapsulates some of the lessons hes learned in 40 years of travel, delivered
with his trademark affable humor and down-to-earth practical approach all in service
of his premise: traveling thoughtfully allows us to take home the greatest souvenir a
broader perspective. WHEN: 8pm WHERE: 1214 State St. COST: $20-$40 INFO:

pedigree of the American String Quartet.
Formed in 1974 when its original mem-
bers were students at The Juilliard School
in New York, the quartet immediately
took up residency at the Aspen Music
Festival, and has returned every summer
for 40 years. Theyve also been a resi-
dent quartet at the Manhattan School of
Music since 1984. Over the years, the
ASQ has performed with the New York
City Ballet, the Montreal Symphony, and
the Philadelphia Orchestra, and toured
some of the finest concert halls in the
world. Recognized internationally for
its luxurious sound, but also at home in
the tiny Mary Craig Auditorium at the

Amys army Santa Barbara Chamber
Orchestras string section, headed by con-
certmaster Amy Hershberger, gets the
spotlight all to itself at tonights concert, titled
String Triple. All three selections are scored
solely for string sections meaning no brass,
wind, or percussion will get in the way when
the ensemble performs in its new venue, the
intimate and sonically serene Hahn Hall. But
if the roster remains the same, the program
does a little period-hopping as the three
works span a full two centuries. Featured are
Mozarts Divertimento No. 2, K.125b (137)
in B Major (1772); John Rutters Suite for
Strings, a 20th century modern classic based
on four English folksongs (They Are A-Roving,
I Have A Bonnet Trimmed With Blue. O Waly
Waly (The Water Is Wide), and Dashing
Away); and Schuberts String Quartet in D
minor, D. 810 Death and the Maiden,
arranged by Gustav Mahler (originally com-
posed by Schubert in 1824). SBCO music
director Heiichiro Ohyama conducts.

ENTERTAINMENT (Continued from page 29)
Gomez in the musical was originally
written for Nathan Lane, and Raul Julia
has also played him in the movies. How
are you approaching the role without
imitating?
They say in show biz to steal
from the best. So Ive taken things
from Raul and John Astin, who
played Gomez on TV. They were
both geniuses in their own way.
You can see Astins strangeness and
wackiness in my approach. And
Raul made him an over-the-top
passionate Latin lover. I definitely
drew from that. But its also my
sense of comedy; I gravitate toward
silliness. I also love Shakespeare
comedy and Molire. But the main
thing is to resemble the characters
people know and love, so I cant
really take that many liberties.
How are you like Gomez?
Well, I dont have any instruments
of torture. And I barely even watch
scary movies. But we share optimism.
And Im a goofball, too. Hes such
a loving family man. So we have
some commonalities. But Im afraid
of snakes, and Im absolutely terrified
of most wild animals. Even when Id
go hiking in the hills, if I saw I garden
snake, I was out of there.
Does your background in improv and
stand-up get used at all?
Theres a little bit of room to be
off the cuff. But also because its
such a funny show, there is a little
bit of wiggle room to react to the
audience, too. When anything goes
awry, my skills come in handy. Just
the other night, we had an issue
with Morticias dress, which was
supposed to change for the tango.
We were just standing there while
theyre trying to fix it. So I just
started riffing and talking to the
audience. That was fun.
How was it to work with director
Jerry Zaks, who is such an institution
on Broadway?
It was fantastic. Hes an absolute
legend! He has an insane encyclope-
dic knowledge of comedy and can
fix a joke in an instant. Hed say,
Wait just a moment. Try saying it
this way. And it would be: wow!
Getting to work with him was the
coolest thing of my career so far.
Okay, Ive got to ask about the mus-
tache. Its not fake, right?
No, its mine, and its work to
maintain it! Its the first time I grew
one. It works during November
because everybodys doing that, so I
already have it. I have gotten used to
it, which is good because my fiance
loves me more with it.
Speaking of that, youre engaged to
the actress who understudies Morticia.
How did that happen? And did you pop
the question backstage?
We had a little flirtation going on
from the beginning, and when the
lead actress got sick, we had to inter-
act. By the end of the week, we fell
in love. But I didnt ask her to marry
me until we got back from China at
the end of the summer. We were in
Memphis, and I rented the marquee at
the Orpheum Theatre. It said, Lexie,
will you marry me? and I walked her
in front of it. So it was definitely the-
atrical, but I did get us away from The
Addams Family bubble.
(The Addams Family goes on at 8 pm
Tuesday, December 10, and Wednesday,
December 11, at the Granada Theater,
1214 State Street. Tickets cost $38-$88.
