Last Lap for Hot Springs Canyon
A
local group the Land Trust for Santa Barbara County is attempting
to raise money to purchase the Hot Springs Canyon property, a 462-acre
tract in the hills above Montecito that contains the site of the now gone
Hot Springs Spa. The money needed in the beginning of the effort was some
$8.7 million, but thanks to generous souls such as Scott and Ella Brittingham
whose Brittingham Foundation added $100,000 to the effort and many
others, the amount left to raise is now less than $1.6 million. But the deadline of
December 15 nears. If the Land Trust is not able to raise the remaining funds by
then, the McCaslin family plans to put the historic parcel up for sale.
This property seems perfectly appropriate to save for the general public; the
Land Trust, as reported by Kelly Mahan in these pages over the last few issues,
intends on giving the land to the U.S. Forest Service for safekeeping, ensuring
the property, which contains miles of hiking trails, goes undeveloped. If you
live in Montecito, you may have already received the Land Trusts fundraising
letter. If you have, you should seriously consider putting a check into the enve-
lope provided and sending it off.
You should know that the Land Trust has already successfully preserved
Montecito open spaces, including the 44 acres of San Ysidro Oak Woodland that
runs through Ennisbrook along San Ysidro Creek, hence the public trail that goes
from San Leandro Lane to East Valley Road. The northernmost 150 acres of the
350-acre estate Mar Y Cel that contains Henry Bothins Tea Gardens has also been
preserved via an easement. Thats where the West Fork of Cold Springs Trail is, and
until the easement was granted in 2000, hikers were probably officially trespassing.
The publics right to use the trail is now assured, thanks to the Land Trust.
It is the perfect season during which to make a donation. You are invited to
call 805-966-4520 or go online and visit their website: www.sblandtrust.org.
You Can Donate to The Montecito Association
Speaking of donations, the Montecito Associations Beautification Day is also
upon us. The first Saturday of November this year it is Saturday November 5
is the date we celebrate those whove helped keep or make Montecito beautiful.
The event, replete with a breakfast prepared and served by Montecito Country
Club chefs, firehouse chili cooked up by Montecito firefighters, resident trash
pickup brigades, award ceremonies, tee shirts and sweatshirts with the MA
logo, a local schools art contest, and entertainment all costs money. If you are in
a giving mood, sending a check to help replenish the Montecito Associations
coffers would be a most welcome gesture. Please call the Association at 805-
969-2026 for more information, or visit the office from 9 am to 2 pm Monday
through Thursday at Montecito Hall, 1469 East Valley Road. Better yet, the
Montecito Foundation is a qualified non-profit. You can send your check to P.O.
Box 5001, Montecito 93150.
Ghost Village Road is Monday, October 31
This is our last reminder to be careful driving around the Coast Village area
on Monday, October 31. There are likely to be thousands of costumed kids car-
rying sacks of candy and other rewards and incautiously heading towards their
next Trick-or-Treat destination. Please drive carefully and slowly along Coast
Village Road from 3 pm to dusk on Monday, October 31.
There will be traffic control at all intersections, but be careful about crossing
outside of crosswalks. The BEST way to visit all the Treat Stops is to start at the
Haunted House in the garage of Montecito Inn at Olive Mill and Coast Village
Road and continue down to Butterfly Lane; return on the other side. That way
youll only cross two streets: Coast Village and Middle Road.

Dreier Collection Closing Doors
Monte ito
Miscellany
by Richard Mineards
Richard covered the Royal Family for Britains Daily Mirror and Daily Mail before moving to New York
to write for Rupert Murdochs newly launched Star magazine in 1978; Richard later wrote for New York
magazines Intelligencer. He continues to make regular appearances on CBS, ABC, and CNN, and
moved to Montecito four years ago.

anta Barbaras Dreier Collection,
one of Americas foremost
exhibitions of popular culture,
is closing its doors to the public, I can
exclusively reveal.
Located on a breathtaking property
high above our Eden by the Beach,
the exhibition, which features a gigan-
tic eclectic collection of sports and
Hollywood memorabilia, has been
available for viewing for the past
seven years.
Often dubbed The Smithsonian
of the West, the collection, which
includes Harry Houdinis handcuffs,
Lucille Balls TV wardrobe and mil-
lions of dollars worth of football and
baseball equipment and ephemera,
opened in 2004.
What began with 50 display cases
of athletic exhibits now has more
than 300 cases, featuring hundreds of
thousands of artifacts of Americana,
including TV, movies, gems and min-
erals, toys and books.
While our family has enjoyed the
last seven plus years of having and
sharing our collection, we have had
significant changes in our lives, Chad
Dreier, head of one of the nations
largest homebuilding companies, tells
me.
We are ready for new adventures
with our growing family. Our third
grandchild is due next month, and
that requires not being tied down by
the responsibilities of the collection.
Chad, 59, started the massive exhibit
with his love of baseball cards and,
before long, the hobby morphed into
a multimillion-dollar investment,
including baseball legend Babe Ruths
bat, Obi-Wan Kenobis light saber and
the late Michael Jacksons blinking,
lighted glove.
The private museum, complete with
a climate-controlled building, 24-hour
security and a hefty budget, has been
curated by Chads son, Doug, a for-
mer football player, since its inception.
Visitors have numbered between
2,000 and 3,000 each year, based on
private tours and charity events.
But its location in a residential
neighborhood has precluded it from
being a fully public operation.
What will happen to the exhibits
now?
As far as future plans for the collec-
tion, the family is exploring a variety
of options and we have not set any-
thing in stone as of yet, says Chad.
But, in a recent interview, Doug
said: We could sell the whole thing
to another collector. We could move
it downtown into a public museum
spot. We could move it to another city.
Or, ten years from now, my kids could
be in here helping me sort baseball
cards. Really, theres just no way of
knowing...
But were very committed to it,
very honored to be able to preserve
this vault of American culture, which,
when you get down to it, is really a
little piece of all of us....
The Great Theatre Move
Santa Barbaras esteemed Ensemble
Theatre Company has officially
launched its campaign to raise $14.5
million to move from its decades-long
base at the rustic 140-seat Alhecama
Theatre to Victoria Hall.
Executive artistic director, Jonathan
Fox, led the kickoff, with campaign
co-chairs Leni Fe Bland and Derek
Westen, at the Hope Ranch home of
architect Judy Hopkinson with 70
dramatically inclined guests.
Our goal is around $10 million
for construction and planning-related
expenses to completely renovate the
interior of the building, and an addi-
tional $4.5 million for an endowment,
says Jonathan, whose company has
just launched its 31st five-play season

production Underneath the Lintel with

The best little paper in America
(Covering the best little community anywhere!)
H
orrors! I have my 2012
Christmas card (in front
of Montecitos famous
Christmas tree) all ready to send to
friends and family and recently I
noticed it had been cut down. Who
would object to such a colorful nice
tradition? So sad.
Who decorated the tree anyway?
Jane Burkemper
Montecito
(Editors note: Please read the next let-
ter for the answer to your last question
TLB)
Holiday Tree?
That might work! We sure dont
want to offend someone? Perhaps a
Family Tree is better symbolism for
the majestic tree that is now gone
at San Ysidro and the Freeway. We
Christians have called it a Christmas
Tree for centuries, never intending to
insult anyone, but what now?
What Don Hathaway and his fam-
ily began 50+ years ago has become a
community tradition. From the emails
and checks I have received, the custom
needs to continue.
Unfortunately, today things need
consensus and approval; they need to
be stamped, studied, and budgeted
before permits are given to allow
such an activity.
I wonder if Firefighter Don
Hathaway considered permitting
his decorating prior to setting loose of
his elves on the Tree?
With Gods Speed it appears that
Montecito will have a replacement
Tree.
Having been consumed with the
dilemma of the Tree, I decided to give
Ronda Hathaway a call and get more
detail of the history and secrecy of the
Elves decorating the Tree.
Q. What was the first year your family
decorated the tree?
A. I was very little. It was probably
around 1960.
How tall was the Tree?
It was very small, probably six to
seven feet.
Other than your family, did others help
you?
For the first few years, it was just the
family. As the tree got larger, we began
to invite friends and neighbors. Mom
would make gingerbread cookies and
have hot chocolate for everyone. She
Jim and Jane Burkemper, in recognition of the San Ysidro-North Jameson Lane Yuletide tradition, have
readied their family Christmas Card that includes the Hathaway tree

insisted that everyone was sworn to
secrecy. Mom wanted to make sure
nobody found out who the Elves
were. After the Elves decorated, Mom
(Helen) would look in the newspaper
to see if there was anything written
about the Mystery Trimming. Often,
there was mention and occasionally a
picture of the tree. Mom has a scrap-
book filled with the articles and pic-
tures.
What time of day did you decorate?
It was always dark when we went
to the tree, usually ten to eleven at
night. My dad (Don) wanted to make
sure we had the cover of darkness and
little traffic.
When the tree became too big for
us to decorate alone, we involved
the Montecito Fire Department. They
brought ladders.
When was the first time you involved
Doug Coale of Mesa Tree to help you?
Perhaps ten years before my dad
asked you to be the Head Elf.
Just so readers know, I have decorated
the tree for eight years, beginning in 2002,
after Don asked me to take over. Was
there a particular incident that took place
that sticks out while decorating?
Not really. The [police] would harass
us occasionally, but never enough to
make us stop. Just before the firemen
from Montecito Fire began to help,
I would take turns with my brother
Dean, who would place the star on
the top of the tree. It was a good thing
that it was dark. The tree had loads of
spiders on it. I knew they were there
and did not want to see them. Also
around this time, the tree was too
big to place garland and ornaments
on the upper branches. So, we had
to tie rocks on the garland and throw
them over the tree to catch the higher
branches.
Dean is a firefighter for
Summerland-Carpinteria. I also
trained as a firefighter and EMT.
Did you know the tree is gone?
Yes, and that is another strange
story. As you know, the Montecito Fire
Department had a barbecue for Dad
on October eighth at Lower Manning
Park. On the ninth, the family had
a private ceremony for Dad at the
Ranch. When I drove by San Ysidro
and the Freeway on the tenth, the tree
was gone! I thought Doug had taken
it down.
No, I asked Doug if he had cut the tree
down, and he said no. Cal Trans had to
have taken the tree down and probably on
October 7, thinking they may not have
bothered with it on a weekend, certainly
an eerie coincidence.
It is anticipated there will be a ceremony
for the new tree. With the Beautification
Committee and other supporters, I would
like to have you and your family at the cel-
ebration. The tree will be commemorated
as the Don Hathaway Memorial Tree with
a plaque.
Q. If the timing permits, can you
attend?
A. I will be there with Dean, my
brother, and Helen, my mom.
Thats good to know.
Head Elf,
Dana Newquist

Best Way italian Way
Wonderful article on the Borgatello
family (Village Beat MJ # 17/41).
The legacy the Borgatellos give to
their children and community is not
only golden, it is the true Italian
way. As a full-blooded Italian, I can
say we are not afraid of hard work,
pride and most of all we teach our
children that they are not entitled
to anything they do not earn with a
strong work ethic.
I close by saying Bravo! and Sempre
Avanti. This family is a perfect exam-
ple of true accomplishment.

only a perfect example of true accom-
plishment, they are also the heart, soul,

Hot Springs
Water Rights
When Ken Hunter sold his interest
in the Hot Springs property, there was
a brief attempt to restore the spa. I
was told then that the deed stipulates
that if the spa is rebuilt, all hot springs
water rights revert to the spa. If this
is in fact recorded on the deed, inter-
vening historical usage would mean
naught. It might behoove the mem-
bers of Hot Springs Water to work
harder to preserve the property... and
their water source.

including the criteria used for the

includes an emphasis on two aspects
of todays gardens: the personal and
often idiosyncratic vision in the making
of a garden and landscape and the
understanding and role of the locations
distinctive atmosphere or spirit of
place as the guiding force behind the
development of a gardens design.
An afternoon tea will follow the

CVBA Latest
In other Coast Village Business
Association news, last week the
association saw revised plans from
Alberto Valner, owner of what has
been dubbed the nursery property
at 1255 Coast Village Road. A mixed-
use project is slated to replace Turk
Hessellund Nursery, on the corner of
Coast Village Road and Coast Village
Circle. The plans have already been
submitted to the City of Santa Barbara,
and will be seen this week by the
Montecito Planning Commission for

that hearing, resident John Wallace,
on behalf of Save Coast Village Road
said he appreciated the beauty of the
building, but voiced concern about
the roof deck enclosures on the two
residences. The project includes two,
1,600-sq-ft, two-story townhomes, a
1,250-sq-ft restaurant, and over 6,000
square feet of office and retail space
in the main, two story building. Forty-
four parking spaces will go under-
ground, with one space above ground.
The restaurant, to be situated on the
corner, will require a modification for
outdoor seating. Cearnal says there
will be hedges screening the outdoor
seating, as well as palm trees to be
planted near the 12-ft sidewalk in
front of the building.
The City of Santa Barbara has
recently established an ordinance that
does not allow sensitive use build-
ings (residences, doctors offices, etc.)
to be built within 250 feet of the free-
way. On one of the townhomes slated
for the nursery property, the 250-ft
line cuts through a bedroom and bath-
room. We are hoping they will see
our plans are within the intent of the
ordinance, Cearnal said.
Its a nice addition to Coast
Village, and hopefully it will help
start a revival on the street, said
CVBA and Montecito Inn owner
Danny Copus. Other CVBA board
members agreed, and gave their ver-
bal support of the project.
Cearnal said he expects to be in
front of the Santa Barbara Planning
Commission in the early spring. The
meeting with Montecito Planning
Commission this week is strictly for
courtesy review; the MPC can provide
comments to the City of Santa Barbara
if they choose.
Montecito Planning
Commission Latest
Last Wednesday, Montecito Planning
Commission held a special hearing
concerning ordinance changes regard-
ing medical marijuana dispensaries
in Montecito and the rest of Santa
Barbara County. The commission for-
mally recommended that the Board of
Supervisors adopt the new ordinance,
which bans storefront dispensaries.
State laws and county regulations will
continue to govern the operation on
non-store front dispensary collectives
and cooperatives.
The hearing was held because a
moratorium on new medical mari-
juana storefronts, which was adopt-
ed in January 2010, is set to expire
in December. Because the ordinance
affects Montecito Land Use and
Development codes, the MPC was
required to hear the amendments.
D
omestic Violence Solutions
(DVS) for Santa Barbara
County gave its 4
th
annual
High Esteem Tea to a sold out crowd at
the Biltmore. The room was flled with
powerful women who want to make a
difference in domestic violence.
As keynote speaker District
Attorney Joyce Dudley said, There
is no socioeconomic difference in
domestic violence. Its also shock-
ing to hear that one in five teen girls
has run into violence, either verbal or
physical, from her boyfriend. Only 30
years ago, there were no shelters in
our county for victims. Joyce urges,
Lets make our city the best and saf-
est. DVS executive director Richard
Kravetz told us, The victims view
Joyce as a friend.
Todays honoree was Jean K.
Schuyler who has given years of her
life serving on boards and doing char-
itable work for this community. To
add to her honors, Supervisor Janet
Wolf will be giving Jean a Resolution
from the Board of Supervisors in
November.
Co-president of the board Aaron
Steed received huge applause when it
was announced that he owns a mov-
ing company and moves victims to a
safe place for free.
Three local artists gave a piece
of their work to be auctioned off:

Health Care Heroes
Santa Barbara Neighborhood
Clinics (SBNC) just celebrated their
13
th
Annual Health Care Heroes
event at the Coral Casinos La
Pacifica Ballroom. Besides the fab-
ulous weather, there were special
effects. The Sapphire Princess cruise
ship had been anchored out all day
and it sailed away over the hori-
zon as guests were enjoying cocktails
and canaps on the terrace. I hope
they were playing Its a Wonderful
World, for their passengers.
The program began while we
were eating dinner. As CEO Cynder
Sinclair, D.M. said, Heroes make
us better people. Tonights honorees
were Eileen Bunning introduced by
Melinda Staveley, Vice President of
Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital and
James Tamborello, DDS, MS intro-
duced by G. William Arnett, DDS.
Besides everything else Eileen does,
she is chair of the SBNC board. She was
president and CEO of Visiting Nurse
& Hospice Care of Santa Barbara
from 2001 to 2010. She also serves
on several health related boards. In
2007, she was honored by the Santa
Barbara Chamber of Commerce with
the Betty Hatch Award for Women
and Entrepreneurs. As Eileen says,
I believe that health care is a right
and that preventive education is the
key to wellness. The SBNC provides
access to comprehensive health care
for many individuals who would
otherwise not be served.
James is the first dentist to be a
hero for SBNC. He responded, Im
being honored tonight for doing my
job. Jim got his masters in dentistry
at Georgetown University. After a
stint in the Air Force, he started his
dentistry career in Monterey County
in 1975. He retired in 2009 after serv-
ing our community for over 40 years.
Jim has lectured for many medical
and dental groups and is board certi-
fied with medical staff surgical privi-
leges at Cottage hospitals.
There are three medical
Neighborhood Clinics in town locat-
ed on the east side, west side and
Goleta, which had a total of 70,000
visits last year. There is also one
dental clinic that had 13,000 visits.
Obviously much needed services.
Event Co-chairs Sybil Rosen and
Dr. Cami Ferris-Wong should be
happy with their heroes evening and
all the support.

Authors of The 6-Week
Cure for the Middle-Aged
Middle Drs. Michael and
Mary Dan Eades and
NAWBO program co-
chair Mikki Reilly at the
monthly meeting
and Mary Dan Eades, were speaking
on a subject theyve been espousing
since the mid-eighties how to lose
your middle-aged middle.
Michael and Eades are authors
of 14 books in the fields of health
and nutrition including the mega-
bestseller Protein Power. It sold about
four million copies but since obesity
is still on the rise, they joke, We
didnt sell enough. They have been
guest experts on all the leading TV
networks and have been featured
in magazines and newspapers like
Newsweek and the Los Angeles Times.
The doctors pioneered their field
and left practices in the early nine-
ties.
After getting middle-aged middles
themselves, they created and wrote
The 6-Week Cure for the Middle-Aged
Middle. Low carbs and high pro-
tein is their mantra, which you can
read about on www.eatprotein.com.
At the luncheon, Dr. Eades explained
how eating saturated fat can actively
trim your middle, why the eat less,
exercise more prescription fails, and
how to fight the fat stored inside
your liver that leads to hard-to-lose
middle-body flab. I noticed that no
one at our table ate any of the dessert

So far, in the silent phase of the
campaign, $5.3 million has been col-
lected, more than fifty percent of the
renovation goal, mostly from indi-
viduals and a number of grants. Now
the hard work really begins!
Although it is difficult to put a
timeline on it, as Jonathan admits, the
company is hoping to break ground
next year and move into the newly
transformed 300-seat theater in 2013.
When we first talked about this,
the economy, of course, was a major
concern and we never had any set
dates. But this is an exciting time and
opportunity, and the right time for us.
The support has been tremendous.
The Alhecama, so named after
the former property owner Alice
Schotts four daughters Alice, Helen,
Catherine and Mary, is currently held
on a short-term lease and is described
as too small, hidden from the public
and severely artistically limiting.
The transformed New Vic will
enable the company, for over thirty
years Santa Barbaras premier pro-
fessional theater company, to further
raise the artistic quality of its work
and transition into a nationally rec-
ognized company, Jonathan told the
thespian-oriented throng, including
Christine Holland, Dwight Coffin,
Nancy Davidson, Jim Langer and
Gail Beust.

Hello, Mrs. Robinson
It wasnt St. Patricks Day, but Irish
eyes were certainly smiling when
Mary Robinson, the first woman pres-
ident of Ireland, made her first visit to
our rarefied enclave.
Ive been to Monterey, but never
this far south, the former politician
told me at a reception thrown by top
legal eagle, Robert Lieff and his wife,
Gretchen, at their sprawling estate,
before driving off to the UCSB campus
to deliver a lecture at Campbell Hall,
part of the universitys popular Arts &
Lectures series.
Robinson, 67, served as president
in Dublin from 1990 to 1997, followed
by a five year stint as United Nations
High Commissioner for Human
Rights, which saw her visiting a num-
ber of deprived countries, includ-
ing Rwanda and Somalia, which she
toured again just three months ago.
It was very profound and very
poignant, she told the 70 guests,
including Paul Orfalea who spon-
sored her trip , Jean Weidemann,
Larry and Nancy Koppelman, Colin
and Sharon Friem-Wallace, Mollie
Ahlstrand, Jane DeHart and Celesta
Billeci.
The famine is at crisis point.
Climate change is very real.
Robinson, who jetted off to Rio after
visiting our Eden by the Beach, will
be meeting up with Robert, who runs
one of the worlds top law firms, again

A Gloomier
Economic Forecast
I dont think Jeff Harding was at
the same 2011 Real Estate & Economic
Forecast as I was (Editorial MJ #
17/40). Once again, I take issue with
his column.
Yesterday, I met with Mark
Schniepp, a keynote economist at
the conference, who has adjusted
unemployment projections from
8.3% to 8.9%. Mr. Schniepp says
the industrial real estate market is
in distress. While not necessarily
forecasting a double-dip recession
and that the South Coast remains
very, very fragile with unexpected
weakness in our economy putting
us at risk of a double-dip reces-
sion (Pacific Business News, Sept
30). South Coast housing will be
plagued with foreclosures for many
years, many are just now entering
the pipeline, he said. The shadow
inventory of distressed properties
is at all-time highs in Santa Barbara
County, he said. No one is spend-
ing. Corporate profits are at all-time
highs but that has not translated into
hiring. This means slow recovery
in commercial real estate. The real
estate market must improve to get
out of this mess. This is quite a bit
away from Mr. Hardings contention
that South Coast real estate market
begins its upswing. It is far worse
than when the recession began.
According to Paul Gambardella
of Radius Group (a sponsor of the
conference), cited in Mr. Hardings
editorial, lease rates have dropped.
Vacancy in Ventura Countys office
market is 23%; in Carpinteria, 13%
(representing 33% increase over 2010);
in Santa Barbara, 5.9%. South Coast
overall office vacancy stands at 8%.
Gamberdella also commented on
the industrial market saying vacan-
cies there are at 4.9%. Gamberdella
goes on to explain, Its been a very
slow market on the industrial side.
According to Brad Frohling, also of
Radius, there have been only 182 sales
of South Coast commercial real estate
this year. Sales down from 319 in 2010,
and from 289 in 2009.
In addition, Santa Barbara Taxpayers
Association says Santa Barbaras pop-
ulation is shrinking, possibly by as
much as 9.13%, by some estimates
from 92,000 to 84,000. (On April 8,
1975, an ordinance was passed, limit-
ing the City of Santa Barbara to a pop-
ulation of 85,000.) According to Bill
Watkins, executive director of UCSB
Economic Forecast in 2007, Santa
Barbara offers mostly low-paying ser-
vice jobs in retail and agriculture.
He predicts a growing underclass,
declining schools, and very limited
opportunities.

At the time the moratorium was
established, there were four medi-
cal marijuana dispensaries operating
in the county; two of which are in
Summerland. The Miramar Collective,
one of Summerlands dispensaries,
is currently the subject of zoning
enforcement by the Planning and
Development Department.
In August, the MPC recommended
to the Board of Supervisors to impose
criteria on the opening of new medi-
cal marijuana storefronts. The criteria
regulated how close a store could be
to parks, schools, daycares, residential
zones, and other medical marijuana
dispensaries. It also required applica-
tions for new storefronts be subject to
conditional use permits and review
by the planning commission. But in
October, the Board of Supervisors
directed staff to look into banning
dispensaries all together, instead of
limiting them.
The Board of Supervisors will make
a decision on the banning ordinance
on Tuesday, November 1.
Richie the Barber
Celebrates Anniversary
Richies Barber Shop on Coast
Village Road will celebrate its first
anniversary with an open house on
Friday, October 28. Owned by Richie
Ramirez, who opened the shop a
year ago after working for Montecito
Barbers for four years, the shop has
become a popular locale for men to
get a haircut and shave, and even just
to hang out with friends after work.
Its done better than I could have
ever imagined, Ramirez told us dur-
ing a recent interview. The commu-
nity has really backed us during the
past year, and Im really happy.
Richie the Barber, as Montecito
locals call him, says his dream was to
open a nostalgic barbershop, complete
with a shoeshine station, vintage video
games, a humidor coffee table, and
black and white pictures adorning the
walls. Richie overhauled the space at

Curtis Wathne, who only recently

Familiarity Breeds
Contempt
In presidential politics, one of the
most neglected issues is the fact that
voters are electing a commander in
chief as well as a chief executive and
head of state. Accordingly, over the
years, we have elected people with
commander-in-chief qualifications
ranging wildly from a five-star gen-
eral of the army (Eisenhower) to an
individual with no experience in uni-
form and an expressed loathing for
the American military (Clinton). It has
then fallen to a new presidents uni-
formed aide de camp to teach him
privately how to render a hand salute
and the other mysteries (for civilians)
of military protocol, as with President
Obama, a commander in chief who
came to the position without military
experience less than five years out of
the Illinois state senate.
What this president did bring to the
Oval Office, though, was a well-nour-
ished ego and, it seems, a propensity
to dispense with what his ADC taught
him about what I will call military
manners. Such lapses are apparent at
Medal of Honor presentations or dur-
ing President Obamas involvement
in change-of-command ceremonies for
our most senior military officers. The
president seems to break loose from
his omni-present TelePrompter and its
carefully crafted scripts to free-lance
with a few off-the-cuff remarks. In the
process, he lapses into a breezy, folksy
first-name familiarity, a sort of one-
sided banter that would be unthink-
able if reciprocated by the honoree,
who usually stands beside him at rigid
attention and attired in dress uniform.
Thus, during the three most recent
White House presentations of the
Medal of Honor, the president publicly
chatted up U.S. Army Staff Sergeant
Salvatore Giunta and Sergeant First
Class Leroy Petry as well as U.S.
Marine Corps Sergeant Dakota Meyer
with the salutations Sal, Leroy,
and Dakota, respectively. During
Sergeant Petrys ceremony, the presi-
dent noted, and Sal [also] joins us
this afternoon. Wheres Sal? Good to
see you. A small voice in the back of
my mind reflexively responded, Yo,
Barry, as I turned my old air force
squadrons baseball cap backwards
and reached for the buttered popcorn.
These are national heroes, who by
tradition command a salute by every
person in uniform, officer as well as
enlistee. None of these three Medal of
Honor awardees would have thought
to address his commander in chief as
anything but Mr. President or Sir.
And they did not.
So too, it seems, with the treatment
accorded even the nations most senior
uniformed leader, the four-star chair-
man of the joint chiefs of staff. During
last months change-of-command cer-
emony, retiring Admiral Michael G.
Mullen addressed his commander in
chief as Mr. President, and received
in return an overly-familiar Mike
that smacked of royal or unschooled
disrespect second only to that earlier
accorded Sergeants Giunta, Petry, and
Meyer.
On September 1, 1939 the day
World War II began in Europe
General George C. Marshall, a bril-
liant but austere Virginian, became
the U.S. Armys chief of staff. General
Marshall immediately recognized that
he would soon be dealing extensively
with his commander in chief, President
Franklin D. Roosevelt. The president
was a consummate politician, whose
well-known techniques for charm-
ing and disarming subordinates ran
to offers of late-afternoon martinis in
the Oval Office and liberal use of their
given names. George Marshall was not
an army officer to be charmed. After
several early sessions during which it
was George this and Mr. President
that, General Marshall could stand
the familiarity no longer. He realized
that if he were to deal objectively and
effectively with his commander in
chief in his new role, their relationship
must be at respectful arms length. He
quietly but firmly informed the presi-
dent that he preferred to be addressed
by his military title rather than by his
first name. George, he told President
Roosevelt, is a name that I reserve for
Mrs. Marshall. And so it remained
through all that followed.
For 2012, none of the apparent can-
didates for presidential nomination by
either party have worn the uniform,
with the exception of Governor Perry.
This is a virtually unprecedented cir-
cumstance in American electoral poli-
tics. It therefore falls to we voters to
grapple with a tough unknown assess-
ing how each aspiring nominee would
acquit him or herself in the crucial role
of commander in chief. In doing so,
we should remember that for civil-
ians, including politicians, matters of
military protocol and even honor may
seem inconsequential, so we should
keep in mind too that within the armed
forces they can take on enormous sig-
nificance. It is why, in early 1993, sailors
booed a chagrined President Clinton
while aboard the U.S.S. Franklin D.
Roosevelt in Norfolk. It is also why in
1996 President Clintons humiliated
chief of naval operations walked out
into his garden and shot himself in the
midst of a public flap over whether he
had inappropriately worn a relatively
minor military decoration.
Familiarity breeds contempt. It is
an old saying worth pondering along
with the leadership implications of a
commander in chiefs cavalier behav-
ior and overuse of the words I, me,
and the ubiquitous you guys.
Oh, to have leaders like General
Marshall and former Captain Truman
back in command as the nation fights
two wars simultaneously.

Hattie Beresford, history columnist
for this illustrious organ, has been
busily promoting her new tome My
Santa Barbara Scrap Book: A Portrait of
the Artist Elizabeth Eaton Burton.
Its a wonderful snapshot of Santa
Barbara at the turn of the twentieth
century, Hattie was telling friends,
including Jack and Emilie Sears, and
Willard and Jo Thompson, at a bijou
bash at Tecolote, the busy bibliophile
bastion in the Upper Village.
Burton was a major figure in the
arts and crafts movement, a real
renaissance woman.
The 133-page book, which has been
several years in the making, has been
selling pretty well, says Hattie.
If you live in Santa Barbara, its a
nice Christmas present. It just oozes
history.

In the true spirit of gypsies, every-

events guru, Merryl Brown, was bor-
rowed, repurposed, or vintage, includ-
ing the greenery and decor, even the
centerpieces.
The organization, which has a bud-
get of $1.6 million a year, wants us to
be free of fossil fuels within the next
20 years, says event chair Kerry Allen.
We want this to be a community for

La Boheme Bash
It was clearly the right aria code
when Gene Sinser and his wife, Patty
DeDominic, opened the doors of their
Montecito manse to welcome the cast
and crew of Opera Santa Barbaras
forthcoming production La Boheme.
The much loved Puccini work,
which will be performed on Nov. 11
and 13 at the Granada, features a
national cast, including principal sing-
ers, soprano Rebecca Davis who
made a much lauded performance in
La Traviata earlier this year and tenor
Chris Bengochea.
We like to introduce everybody to
our sponsors and those supporters
who are kind enough to host our visi-
tors, says Steven Sharpe, director.
Weve been doing it for five years now
and people become lifelong friends.
La Boheme is a particular favorite
and very traditional. Our production
will be more focused on the char-
acters emotions. Its not pomp and
circumstance. Our performers are
not just great singers, but also great

ly entertaining performance fea-
turing works by Vivier, Ravel and
Tchaikovsky after a last minute
change, which cancelled Bartoks
Piano Concerto No. 3, when pianist
Yefim Bronfman fractured a finger
and had to withdraw.
The replacement, Ravels Daphnis
and Chloe, was a flavorsome substi-
tute with its wonderful assortment of
instruments in the 15-minute piece.

Cest Fantastique
A few days later, I was back at
the Granada to see the Santa Barbara
Symphony launch its 59th Fantastique
season under conductor Nir Kabaretti,
who has finessed the orchestra in leaps
and bounds.
John Adams work Tromba Lontana,
a whimsical four-minute fanfare com-
missioned by the Houston Symphony
in 1986 to celebrate the sesquicen-
tennial of the declaration of inde-
pendence of the Republic of Texas,
opened the concert before Grammy
Award-winning international soloist,
Lynn Harrell, mesmerized the house
playing Elgars introspective Cello
Concerto in E minor, the British com-
posers last major work, which he said
mirrored a mans attitude to life.
As an encore, Santa Monica-
based Harrell, who performs with a
1720 Montagnana, played Chopins
Nocturne in E Flat.
Fittingly, Berliozs 50-minute work,
Symphonie Fantastique, concluded the
concert, portending well for the rest of
the season...
The Maestro
At the Lobero, the Santa Barbara
Chamber Orchestra, celebrating its
34th season, featured six works with
its Maestro Mozart! concert.

The Village People
W
e were on our way to the
Pont du Gard, an ancient
aqueduct and bridge near
Nmes, France, listed as yet another one
of the marvels of Roman architecture.
My wife was excited. Did you know
its a hundred and sixty feet tall and
used to carry forty-four million gallons
of water a day? Dont you just love all
this history?
I dont get it. When we got married,
I had a lot of old stuff in a state of dis-
repair, but rather than marvel at it she
suggested I relegate it all to the local
landfill. Someday, someones going to
unearth my neon Corona beer parrot
light and put that in a museum, you
know.
My wife took a minute to catch up
with my train of thought. Most of
the letters were burned out. It just said
ron. Plus the parrot was missing its
head.
Yeah, well what about my beaded
curtains? Huh? There arent many of
those left.
When she didnt comment, I fig-
ured I had won and I was trying to
remember if that had ever happened
before. Thats when she yelled out:
Les Baux! and took a ninety-degree
turn. Ive always wanted to see Les
Baux. They found proof of habitation
there that goes back to six thousand
BC! The Celts were there. The Romans.
Feudal Lords. Quick, check the map,
she said.
I unstuck my face from the passen-
ger-side window and looked at the
Google map we had printed out to get
us to Nmes.
We are now off the map, I said. I
turned on my iPhone and a message
appeared on the screen from AT&T:
You do not have a foreign data plan.
To use GPS will cost you more than
you paid for your house. Plus, we
have no idea where your wife is going
either.
My stomach grumbled. We made the
mistake of trying to get a late lunch.
We actually got seated at a caf just
before two pm, but no waiter ever
came. We left when they started hos-
ing down the patio. I kept hoping to
see a sign for Taco Bell but instead all
I saw were miles and miles of olive
trees. The French put olive oil on and
in everything from sandwiches to soap
to hair loss prevention products to dog
shampoo. On a warm day in France
everything smells like a deli.
Here it is! My wife took another
sharp turn and stopped. I unstuck my
face again and climbed out. Looks like
a rock, I said. Exactly! my wife said
indicating I was right. Again I won-
dered if that had ever happened before.
Turns out the remains of a castle sit
atop Les Baux rock. To get to it you
walk uphill on narrow cobblestone
streets through a tiny medieval village
that according to one source has a per-
manent population of twenty-two peo-
ple. Twenty-two! You have to wonder
if they all get along. What a bummer
if a few modernists decided they were
tired of ancient rock walls and wanted
to throw up some drywall and stucco
and open an IMAX theater showing
whale migration movies.
During the Middle Ages, the lords
of Baux controlled seventy-nine towns
and villages in the vicinity, my wife
said, handing me the remains of a
baguette sandwich we had purchased
in a gift shop that apparently didnt
know about the two oclock lunch cur-
few. It was the most delicious sand-
wich I can ever remember eating and
we were each fighting for the last
morsel. The Lords of Baux ruled for
five hundred years, my wife said, lick-
ing her fingers. Louis the thirteenth
destroyed the castle in the sixteen-
hundreds.
Above the village, there is a church
that dates back to 1100, working cata-
pults and a well-used battering ram,
and paths that lead to the remaining
walls of the castle, which you can climb
using ancient stairs.
Dont fall, my wife yelled causing
me to immediately lose my footing, but
two kids stopped my descent, one of
them commenting that I smelled like
a deli.
After taking five hundred photos, we
wandered back through the village to
the parking lot. Whats next? I asked.
Tomorrow is free museum day in
Marseille! my wife said.
Great. Maybe theyll have some old
stuff to look at. MJ

Driver Found in Possession of Marijuana
Sunday, 23 October, 9:22 am Deputy Delgadillo was patrolling the area near
Toro Canyon Road and Via Real before stopping a female driver for having a
cracked windshield. During the traffic stop, Delgadillo stated that the female
driver seemed very nervous, and she said she knew what this was about.
The driver then told Delgadillo that her license was suspended, and she apolo-
gized for driving. She also gave Delgadillo permission to search her car; during
the search, Delgadillo found a cigarette box in the dashboard. The cigarette
box contained one marijuana joint. The driver then admitted that she did not
have a medical marijuana card; she also believed that the joint belonged to a
friend who recently borrowed her vehicle. Delgadillo issued a warning for the
windshield and a citation for possessing the marijuana; Delgadillo released the
driver and her vehicle to a friend of the woman. A report was taken. MJ
Video. He installed an exposed brick
wall, wood floors, flat-screen TVs,
leather couches, vintage stadium seats
and four vintage-replica barber chairs.
Just a year ago, Richie the Barber
was the only one cutting hair; he now
has three other barbers, something he
says he would not be able to do with-
out a high volume of clientele. Lauren
Rundquist, John Fry, and Emily Miller
are all on board to continue Richies
tradition of haircuts and straight razor
shaves.
In addition to increasing busi-
ness, Ramirez, a third-generation
Montecitan, has become involved with
local schools, donating gift certificates
for services as well as use of his shop
for school auction items. Last week, 20
dads and friends from Crane School
were treated to a boys night at the
shop, featuring whiskey, cigars, and
hot towel massages from Richies crew;
the event, catered by Los Arroyos, was
an auction item from Crane Schools
annual benefit.
Richie has also partnered with Shawn
Stussy, surfer, surfboard and clothing
designer. Stussy has taken over the
back room at Richies, displaying his
surfboards, vintage clothing and other
surf paraphernalia. Ive been friends
with Shawn for a long time, and weve
been looking forward to this collabora-
tion, Richie says. Stussys room will
be on display during the open house
on Friday; a grand opening is planned
for November. Stussys new line of
clothing, called s/double, is avail-
able online at www.s-double.com.
I just want to say thank you to the
entire community, Richie says. A big

Casa del Herrero
Honors its History
by Flora Kontilis
At Casa del Herrero, the feeling of
family stretches as far as the prop-
ertys 11-acre estate. And last Tuesday,
October 18, board members, docents,
and volunteers celebrated a visit from
up to three generations of George
Steedmans lineage who continue to
honor the familys appreciation for
architecture and lush landscape.
Family members present includ-
ed George Steedman Bass (grand-
son), Albert Hinckley (grandson),
Katherine Pharibe Wise (great grand-
daughter), Annalisa Hinckley Smith
(great granddaughter), and Medora
Hartz (great great granddaughter).
We are like a family here the Casa.
With three generations visiting, we
thought it a good time to get togeth-
er and celebrate the Steedmans and
the new resolution, says Executive
Director, Molly Barker. Tuesday also
marked the day the County Board of
Supervisors presented a resolution to
congratulate the Casa del Herrero on
becoming a national historic land-
mark in 2009.
Spanish for House of the Blacksmith,
Casa del Herrero was built in 1925
by locally esteemed architect George
Washington Smith, in combination
with influence from the homes owner,
George Fox Steedman. Steedman was
one of three brothers who owned
Curtis & Co. machine shop; his
appreciation for metal work influ-
enced his continued life with fam-
ily in Montecito. He and his wife,
Carrie, settled permanently on the
property in 1930 after moving from
the Midwest; here they raised their
two daughters, Katherine (mother of
Albert Hinckley) and Medora. Upon
settling on their new Montecito land-
scape, Steedman and Carrie adorned
their home with Mediterranean style,
including antiques, architecture, fur-
niture, and horticulture.
After her parents deaths Steedman
in 1940, and Carrie in the 1960s
Medora took over the property in 1977.
And it was her son, George Steedman
Bass, who took full charge of Casa del
Herrero when Medora died in 1987;
he ultimately created what the prop-
erty is today a publicly appreciated
landmark. Casa del Herrero became a
nonprofit in 1993 under Basss lead.
Today it is a walking museum, open
for tours Wednesdays and Saturdays.
On tours, guests will see an over-
whelming influence of California
beauty and family history. According
to board and family members, home-
owner George Fox Steedman lives
on in the aesthetics and surround-
ing environment of Casa del Herrero.
Steedman worked closely with archi-
tect George Washington Smith to
highlight Montecitos environment, as
well as Steedmans own love of black-
smithing and metal work. People
initially come here because they are
interested in hearing about the archi-
tect, but they leave here falling in love
with the owner, says Barker, So
much of his character is seen here.
Steedmans property is cared for
by up to 70 volunteers. Our staff
is small but mighty, laughs Barker,
adding, We have only three garden-
ers. Nonetheless, Casa del Herrero
survives due to volunteers who tend
to the gardens, office work, and tours.

T
heater director and
Summerland resident Maurice
Lord recently directed The
Fever by Wallace Shawn that was
performed in an innovative new
manner: the play was done in a
variety of Santa Barbara living rooms
(as well as in London, Hollywood
and Spokane out of the box venues).
Lord is expanding on that idea in a
big, fun way that should set tongues
wagging in the theater world. Lord
co-founded Genesis West in 1998,
where he has directed a string of
plays including Curse of the Starving
Class, The Lieutenant of Inishmore, La
Terrasse, Bug, The Pillowman, The God
of Hell, The Goat or, Who is Sylvia?, Far
Away, and Buried Child among many
other fascinating contemporary
plays. He has also directed in Los
Angeles and New York. Mr. Lord is
an alumnus of Santa Barbara City
College and a decade long resident
of Summerland. I begged the busy
director to tell me about his latest
effort, which premieres on November
4 and will run at different venues
for two weeks (check the www.
genesiswest.org website for dates,
locations and to purchase tickets).
Q: Hi Maurice, I often see you tooling
around Summerland in your bright red
Mini Cooper. I hear you have something
new on the burner that really has you
buzzing around town and the town
buzzing: pop-up theater! What a fantas-
tic idea. Can you tell me about it?
A: Yes! Im directing a play called
A Number by Caryl Churchill for
Genesis West, a brilliantly writ-
ten, unconventional psychological
thriller about a fathers relation-
ship with his son and clones of that
son. Churchills imagination and
playful experimentation with the-
atrical structure explore the issues
surrounding human cloning with
amazing creativity both in its story
and in the theatrical means of tell-
ing the story. For example, the son
and the clones are all played by
the same actor. We are doing it as a
pop-up theatre piece in a different
space every night. Its a whole new
direction for us. Our plays kept get-
ting bigger and bigger with huge
sets, large casts, crew, crazy prop
demands, livestock, etc. Its excit-
ing to scrap all that and create a
whole new stealth operation that
can be performed in a wide variety
of spaces.
How did you come up with the idea?
Is it being done in New York, London or
anywhere else?
Last spring, Mitchell Thomas,
from Westmont Colleges Theatre
department, and I collaborated on
The Fever by Wallace Shawn. We
did it in peoples living rooms,
in a different home with a differ-
ent host each night. It was a truly
wonderful experience. This really
grew from that. Its done in London
quite a bit with plays being done
everywhere from public restrooms
to closed Tube stations. I think well
be seeing lots more of this done in
the U.S. I hope so.
I mentioned this to my mom, and now
she wants to do it in L.A! So I can warn
her, what are the pros and cons of pop-
up theater?
Pop-up theatre is fun because its
a whole new set of challenges and
forces us to be creative and try new
things. It feels like rather than doing
one play in twelve different spots
we are doing twelve different plays.
Each night will be a very special,
totally unique experience for all
involved.
Hmm As far as sets, music, props
wont this make things a bit more
challenging not to mention lighting,
dressing rooms, etc.?
Yes, its way more challenging.
We are playing with lights now.
Theodore Dolas is our lighting
designer and hes developing a
whole lighting set up that can be
moved in and out every night. Its

really forced us to play and address
each aspect of production a whole
new way. We dont have any of
the safety nets we are accustomed
to having. Each space will have a
whole new set of challenges so well
just adapt and make it work each
night.
Are you sure this is a good idea? It
sounds so fun in theory, but the logis-
tics....
Ha! Well find out. The cast has
Tom Hinshaw and Brian Harwell,
two of my favorite actors who are
both very smart, very creative and
have really embraced the idea of
what this is. We have a wonderful
team and should be prepared for just
about anything.
Are you getting support for this?
There are lots more sponsorship
opportunities in the pop-up model.
We go into a partnership with each
venue or host to make the event hap-
pen. We are making lots of exciting
new friends with this. Theres lots of
merging of groups and awareness.
Where might we expect to see a
Maurice Lord-Genesis West pop-up?
Porch on Santa Claus Lane, The
Odd Fellows Lodge, Municipal
Winery, Pescadrome and several
more to be announced soon. Please
visit our website www.genesiswest.
org for up to date locations and
times.
Will you continue to do traditional
theater at Center Stage or other venues?
Absolutely. I still love tradition-
al black box theatre. Well even be
doing A Number at Center Stage on
November 18, 19, and 20.
What do you do in your spare time?
Since this column is not just about peo-
ple in Summerland, but the town, can
you tell me a few things you love most
about our wee town by the sea?
Summerland is super dog friendly
which is perfect for me. I can bring
my dog just about anywhere. We
go on lots of walks. I also like to
check out the antique stores. I love
Summerland.
Well, Summerland loves you. I hope
your productions pop-up here as
well. Maybe in The Big Yellow House
with its resident ghost? Thank you,
Maurice for taking time out of your
hectic, pre-production schedule of pop-
up theatre to pop into my column!
I wonder if there will be popcorn as
well MJ

Barbara High, he explains. (Hes
both a linebacker and tight end.) I
went to make a tackle and the two
bones in between my forearm and
my wrist got super compressed and
a little piece chipped off. Im just for-
tunate I can still move my fingers,
he adds. That happened three weeks
ago, at nearly the same time their for-
mer bassist quit on them. Hence the
new name of the band: Broken Wing.
The orthopedic surgeon that
worked on him Dr. Sean Early
put his cast on a little differently,
Debbie points out, so that he would
have mobility with his fingers and
would still be able to be in Battle of
the Bands.
Outside the Lobero, before the jam-
ming began, screaming fans greeted
band members as they exited lim-
ousines and made their way up the
red carpet to the theaters front door.
Inside, there was hardly an empty
seat. The judges included Seymour
Duncan, whose Goleta-based com-
pany was launched in 1978 and is
now the worlds leading designer
and manufacturer of guitar pickups,
Bruce Kulick, a former KISS (1984-
1996) and Grand Funk Railroad band
member, lead singer J.R. Richards
of Dishwalla, and two record com-
pany execs. Proceeds from the eve-
ning (VIP tickets were $100 apiece)
will go to Santa Barbara Youth Music
Academy.
Seymour Duncan described the
judging: We probably have like ten
different criteria, he says during a
small get-together backstage before
the main event. The criteria include
how they perform, how they get
on the stage, how they get off the
stage, how they interact with the
audience, how the kids do with get-
ting in and plugging in their gui-
tars, whether theyre in tune. Its
really pretty neat, Duncan contin-
ues, because Ive been through this
when I was a little kid. Ive been so
fortunate to have worked with so
many great people over the years:
The Beatles, Les Paul and Mary
Ford He neglected to mention
that he repaired instruments at the
Fender Soundhouse in London for
musicians such as Jeff Beck, Jimmy
Page, George Harrison, Eric Clapton,
Pete Townshend, Jimi Hendrix, Peter
Frampton, and, well, probably the
entire pantheon of guitar gods from
the 60s and 70s. Seymour Duncan is
a big name in music.
In the end, Kassbro didnt win;
False Puppet who won last year
were named winners once again.
But Debbie expressed satisfaction
nonetheless: Josh was at the Lobero
and he texted me: Mom. Can you
go into my room? At the foot of my
bed is the Prayer for Lexis wrist-
band. Would you bring it to the
Lobero before the show and give it
to me? Josh and Rick performed for
the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation
about two months ago for a little girl
named Lexi that was two and a half
years old and needed a bone marrow
transplant and they were looking for
a match. Rick and Josh performed

Thanks to Dr. Sean Early
(who arranged it so that
Josh could still use his fin-
gers), Josh Kass didnt let
his recent football accident
interfere with a spirited
rendition of Jimi Hendrixs
Touch The Sky at the
Lobero
ing plane. Since I always have my
camera, I shot some photos, Daniel
relates. Then, I drove the two blocks
to Butterfly Beach to see if Dave
and his lover were there. They were
not, although I did ask one guy if he
was Dave. He laughed, Seibert says,
and said no; he was wondering the
same thing.

he wanted to wear Lexis wristband
for inspiration and also for good
luck, because the day they played
they found a match (for Lexi). That
is the most important thing I got out
of tonight. Not winning or losing,
but that.
And, that wasnt all. Debbie, who

ner of the $1,500 Stratocaster elec-

he heard a plane circling up above
him. It went on for about ten min-
utes so he walked out onto the street
and saw an old-fashioned skywrit-

Wheeldons Polyphonia, featuring

with Balanchines Sonatine, featuring
music by Ravel, closing the first half.
Works by Martins, Zakouski and
Hallelujah Junction, with music from
Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Prokofiev,
Tchaikovsky and John Adams, made
for a most impressive second half.
It is to be hoped they will soon

The shopaholic event, which fea-

as an informal fashion show, raised
more than $5,000 for the cause.
Its a really fun way to raise funds,
says the charitys executive director,
Silvana Kelly. Every dollar makes a
huge difference.
A Happy Engagement
My congratulations to powerhouse
publicist, Jonatha King, who has just
got engaged to Montecitos Lance
Jones, a former decorated Green Beret,
during a romantic stop at Malibus
Paradise Cove.
Weve been going out for just over
a year and I was driving him down
to LAX to catch a plane to Colorado
to help his youngest son, whose own
girlfriend had just been murdered,
recounts Jonatha, who started her suc-
cessful PR company 12 years ago.
When we stopped by the ocean, I
thought it might be for a few minutes
of prayer or solemn quietness before
he left. Then he pulled out a diamond
ring and asked me to marry him. It
was just perfect.
The couple, who are still working on
their wedding plans, have partnered
in founding Stellar Event Productions,
a division of King Communications,
focusing on corporate and charity
events, one of which was the State
Street Ballet gala at
the Coral Casino earlier this month...
Royal Rule Revision
It looks like it will be all change
in the line of accession to the British
throne in due course.
Much talked about for years, under
an agreement expected between
Commonwealth leaders and Queen
Elizabeth in Perth, Australia, this
week the 1701 Act of Settlement will
be changed to allow the first-born
daughter of Prince William and his
wife, Kate, to accede, rather than the
first-born male.
Under the centuries-old rules of pri-
mogeniture, any male child has taken
precedence in the succession, meaning
that any son born to the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge would become
King even if he had an older sister.
British Prime Minister David
Cameron has said the rules should
alter, but since the Queen remains head
of state in 16 other Commonwealth
countries, they would all have to agree
any change.
That is now expected, following in
the steps of other royalty-led countries
like Sweden.

C
onjuring the romance of
shawled senoritas, castanets
clacking to the rhythm of
guitars under warm moonlit skies, El
Camino Real wends its way through
Californias past. This royal road had
its roots in 16
th
century Spain, at which
time the King deemed it important
to build reliable roads to the capital
to facilitate the transport of goods,
troops, and tax collectors.
In the new world, the Jesuits found-
ed their first Baja California mission
at Loreto in 1697. Seventy years later,
the 16 missions they established were
connected by El Camino Real, a nar-
row mule path outlined by rocks so
travelers wouldnt lose themselves in
the desert.
By 1768, the Jesuits had run afoul
of the King in Spain. Mistrustful of
their political power, he expelled them
from Nueva Espaa. Padre Serra and
the Franciscans took up the torch and
marched into Alta California with the
troops of Gaspar de Portola to secure
Spains claim to the vast lands to
the north, a claim jeopardized by the
encroachments of Russian fur trad-
ers and the continuing expansion of
English territorial pursuits.
The Portola expedition established a
presidio and mission at San Diego in
1769 and then raced to Monterey to do
the same by 1770. Whereas El Camino
Real in Baja California had extended
slowly, connecting from mission to
mission in chronological order, this
new stretch of road was motivated
by political and military imperatives.
The missions, therefore, were estab-
lished in a fill-in-the-gap system and,
because they came later, were often
several miles distant from El Camino
Real.
Preserving
the Royal Road
In 1959, the late Father Virgil
Cordero of Santa Barbara spoke of the
significance of roads saying, Roads
are of the greatest importance in
human endeavor and growth Roads
speak of life, movement, and attain-
ment... Roads witness the march of the
human caravan. They are necessary
for the growth and prosperity of man-
kind; the first true steps in progress
and civilization.
Many years earlier, in 1892 to be
precise, Miss Anna Pitcher recognized
the significance of the old Spanish
road in the development of California
and the history of its human car-
avan. She began lobbying to pre-
serve the venerable trail. Ten years
later, the newly-formed History and
Landmarks Department, chaired by
Mrs. A.S.C. Forbes of the Federation
of Womens Clubs, adopted her idea.
They sought the path of the original
road, which roughly but not com-
pletely follows todays Highway 101.
They researched its history, advocated

The Way It Was
by Hattie Beresford
El Camino Real
Ms Beresford is a retired
English and American his-
tory teacher of 30 years in
the Santa Barbara School
District. She is author of
two Noticias, El Mirasol:
From Swan to Albatross
and Santa Barbara
Grocers, for the Santa
Barbara Historical Society.

calling it El Camino Real, and planned
to mark it with iron bells on crookneck
staffs.
In 1904, 90 delegates representing
26 cities and dozens of organizations
attended a state convention in Santa
Barbara and formed the California
State Camino Real Association. On
August 15, 1906, El Camino Real was
dedicated when the first bell designed
by Mrs. Forbes was erected at the
Plaza Church in Los Angeles. After
the second bell was placed at Mission
San Diego, the bells proliferated. Fifty
bells costing $25 each were ordered
for Santa Barbara County and three
for the city. By 1913, about 450 bells
marked 700 miles of Royal Road, each
with an Automobile Club of Southern
California mileage sign.
Over the years, other designs for
the bells came into being and the
Auto Club, and later the California
Division of Highways, assumed care
of the bells. By 1959, however, the vast
majority of bells had disappeared,
lost to highway widening, relocation
of roads, and vandals and souve-
nir hunters. To add insult to injury,
the road lost its name as well when
the legislature voted to name it the
Cabrillo Highway.
Various organizations, including the
Native Sons and Daughters of the
American West, joined together to
find the old bells and create new ones.
State Senator J.J. Hollister pushed
through Senate Bill #23 and restored
the name El Camino Real to Highway
101. Locally, Mrs. Eileen Dismuke
took on the task of administering the
placement of El Camino Real bells and
standards.
Theft and vandalism continued,
however, so when Caltrans became

would have to see whether the tide
was in or outas the road wasnt
passable at high tide, so they would
have to take Casitas Pass [In Santa
Barbara] if it had rained recently, they
would have to take San Marcos Pass,
as Gaviota Pass went over the top of
the mountain, was muddy and steep,
and usually cost five dollars to be
pulled over by a team of horses! Later
it was paved with concrete and part
of that can still be seen near Nojoqui
Falls Park.
The coast road to Ventura is marked
today as El Camino Real, but before
1912 it was not a reliable road. In
earlier days, stage schedules in Santa
Barbara fluctuated based on the tide.
The alternative route was the 1878
Casitas Pass stage route, which had
widened the old El Camino Real trail.
Before the construction of the dam
forming Lake Casitas, this road took
southbound traffic over two passes
and then down Coyote Creek to the
village of Casitas. From there it was a
straight shot to Ventura. In 1907, an El
Camino Real Bell was placed on West
Casitas Pass to commemorate this seg-

responsible for the bells in 1974, they
constructed them of concrete to dis-
courage their disappearance. In 2000,
Keith Robinson, Principal Landscape
Architect for Caltrans, took up the
clarion call. He applied for and
received a federal grant to restore the
El Camino Real marker system on the
state highways with exact replicas of
the original Forbes bells. In June 2006,
one hundred years after the placement
of the first bell at the Plaza Church
in Los Angeles, 555 bells marked the
route.
A Royally
Tortuous Road
Santa Barbara lies in a narrow val-
ley bounded by steep mountains on
one side and the ocean on the other. A
narrow gorge along a river provides
egress to the northwest and sections
of steep cliffs squeeze the traveler
heading southeast. Californias roads
one hundred years ago looked noth-
ing like the roads today, and services
for autoists were slim. El Camino Real
was not paved nor were there bridges
at all the creek crossings.
C.D. Cox, who chronicled a 1908
motoring trip on El Camino Real
from Ojai to San Luis Obispo, said he
crossed nine fords on the creek road
and three streams in Ventura. His car
became mired in the third stream and
a young man with a team of horses
pulled him out. Several flat tires later
he arrived in Santa Barbara where he
had to wait 8 days for tires to arrive
from Denver. On a test drive with
the new tires, his water pump gave
out and his battery needed repair as
well. Of the next leg of his journey, he
writes, Road from here to Gaviota
horrible. Crossed 45 creeks and can-
yons up one steep hill after another.
Most discouraging
Early autoists found the pass at
Gaviota problematic as well. Though
an early metal bridge near hanging
rock carried wagon and later auto-
mobile traffic, there were other creek
crossings that proved challenging.
Local farmers stood by with teams
of horses ready to tow the hapless
motorists for a fee. In times of heavy
rain, the route became impassable.
Antique car enthusiast Shel Ball
shared his familys story of the trip
from Fillmore to Lompoc before the
wooden Ventura causeway was com-
pleted along the coast. They drove
an early Dodge, says Shel, and
would leave early in the morning,
and, as the roads werent paved yet,
counted on at least several flat tires.
When they reached Ventura, they

The train trestles spanned the barrancas in 1901 and by the mid-twenties, bridges eased auto traffic as
well. Located at Arroyo Hondo, the trestle and bridge still exist but Highway 101 now crosses barranca
on a huge earthen berm to the right. (Postcard courtesy of Santa Barbara Historical Museum)

ment of the old Royal Road.
In the southeast, motorists faced
the challenge of the Conejo Grade.
Boasting 49 sharp turns and cutbacks,
the road forced farmers to lock their
wagon wheels with a chain or log
and slide down to the bottom of the
grade.
Thad MacMillan, a former trustee of
the Santa Barbara Historical Museum,
told me that his father, who grew
up in Ventura County, used Grade
in a unique way. When he or his
friends set out to buy a used car,
says Thad, the routine test was to
drive it out to the Conejo Grade and
see if it could carry you to the top,
while still in a forward gear. The road
was so steep that cars without sound
engines would have to be backed over
the grade. That, of course, happened
because reverse was a cars lowest
gear.
Today, much altered by the march
of human progress, El Camino Real
continues to speak of life, movement,
and attainment, all the while provid-
ing a link with the human caravan of
the past.

by Scott Craig
S
tuart W. Bowen Jr., special
inspector general for Iraq
reconstruction, offered a sobering
look at the reconstruction effort in Iraq
during a standing-room only lecture
at Westmont Oct. 13. Bowen, who has
served in Iraq for more than seven
years, has recovered $1.2 billion in
fnancial beneft, stemming from 64
indictments and 54 convictions for
fraud and other crimes.
Bowen shared painful stories of
having five staff members injured and
one killed in bombings in Iraq. He
also detailed success stories, such as
obtaining the February conviction of
U.S. Marine Captain Eric Schmidt,
who worked with his wife to skim
about $1.69 million from government
contracts.
Bowen also detailed several audits
hes completed, highlighting the
enormous amount of money wast-
ed on poorly planned infrastructure
projects. The Fallujah Waste Water
Treatment System, the largest project
in Anbar province, was initially slated
to cost $32.5 million. Bowen says after
long delays and loss of life, the facility
finally opened this summer to the cost
of $110 million.
The purpose of these kinds of
projects is to help pacify the popu-
lation by winning their hearts and
minds through effective service pro-
visions, Bowen says. And this is

Crane Country Fair
Goes Ghoulish and Green
Montecito Diary
by Ann Pieramici
E
xpect some frighteningly fun
family time at Crane Country
Day Schools Annual Country
Fair, which embraces a Halloween
theme this year. The event, slated
for Sunday, October 30, will feature
ghosts, goblins and ghouls in all their
spooky glory, along with a variety of
booths, games and activities, including
the return of the ever-popular
haunted house. The Fair has become a
Montecito tradition and is open to the
entire community.
This is one on my favorite events
at Crane, confesses Fair Chair Ali
Oshinsky, who says, I love how the
event involves the entire Crane com-
munity, integrating parents of various
classes, while getting students and fac-
ulty to participate. Oshinsky is also
excited about the schools efforts to be
more sustainable, and claims the Fair
is going green, with the help of local-
ly based Green Project Consultants.
Crane has worked with the company
before to hand-sort trash, diverting as
much as possible away from the land-
fills and into appropriate recycling
centers. Oshinsky expects to redirect
80-90% of the waste into recyclable,
reusable material.
In addition to going green, Crane
will be awash in orange. Given the
Fairs proximity to Halloween, the
festive holiday spirit will be pres-
ent. However, most of the spirits will
be lurking inside the haunted house,
which returns to the school after sev-
eral years hiatus.
We are so thrilled to bring back the
haunted house, says Fair Co-Chair
Darcie McKnight, who says it was
a favorite in past years. While fel-
low Co-Chair Tiffany Gordon wont
reveal too much in advance, she prom-
ises the attraction will be full of spooks
and surprises.
If the kids havent chewed off their
nails in the haunted house, they can
get them painted black and orange
and spray their hair to match at
the face-painting booth. Others will
find their way into (and hopefully out
of) the jailhouse, obstacle course and
dunk tank while sluggers in the crowd
perfect their swing at the new baseball
target (sure to be a hit). The wildly
popular cakewalk returns along with
the book bazaar, petting zoo and gour-
met treats at Cranes Country Kitchen.
There will also be a pumpkin carving
contest and bake-off, amid the thirty
event booths. Big Daddys BBQ and
Hildas Tacos will warm the blood
while Sweet Alley will offer scoops of
bone-chilling ice cream.
The smallest monsters in the crowd
the preschoolers can feel safe in
Coyote Cub Corner, their own spe-
cially designated area featuring arts &
crafts, games, pumpkin bowling and
more not-too-scary surprises.
Even after twelve years at Crane
this event never gets old it is truly
still one of my favorite days at the
school, says Headmaster Joel Weiss.
It represents the heart of the school
our community parents, teachers,
staff and students coming together,
welcoming new friends to our cam-
pus, and sharing a great time.
Fair admission is free and open to
the public. Tickets can be purchased
on site for games, haunted house and
food. The Fair is open 10 am to 3
pm, Sunday, October 30, at 1795 San
Leandro Lane.

another great day at the school on

Haunting Haitian hoedown Creole
Choir of Cuba comes from Camagey, an
old colonial town on the eastern side of the
island. The group was founded in 1994,
a period of devastating economic decline,
when members of a regional professional
choir decided to revive the resistance songs
and laments of their Haitian ancestors
for modern times. (Their forebears were
West African slaves brought to Haiti who
escaped bondage in the late 18th century
by feeing to Cuba or later came to work
on Cubas sugar plantations.) Fifteen years
later, after performing at the WOMAD
and Edinburgh Festivals, the choir signed
with Peter Gabriels Real World record
label, which has broadened their reach
far beyond world music circles, impressing
listeners with impassioned musicianship
that incorporates Caribbean melodies

Its all about MEE Santa
Barbara Chamber Orchestra
which already caters to families
and new subscribers via its
free tickets program now
takes another step to expand its
audience via MEE: Musically
Engaging Experiences. The new
program, which takes place this
weekend and on March 15-16,
2012, comprises informative
concert performances designed
to enhance enjoyment of live
classical music for people of
all ages. The concerts are put
together and conducted by Rob
Kapilow, who some have
described as a Leonard Bernstein
for our times. For nearly 20 years,
Kapilow has been characterized
by his unique ability to create
an aha moment for both his
audiences and collaborators,
whatever their level of musical
sophistication or naivet, helping
them to listen actively rather than
just hear. Tonights concert featuring Aaron Coplands Appalachian Spring is part
of his acclaimed What Makes It Great? series, in which Kapilow dissects music,
unravels, slows down and recomposes key passages to reveal its beauty and help
listeners appreciate the work in new ways, followed by a lively Q & A session.
Tomorrow, the FamilyMusik selection is a Kapilow original, Green Eggs and
Hamadeus, a merry whiz-bang romp through the Dr. Seuss classic that seamlessly
incorporates sophisticated references to familiar classical and popular music with a
timeless parable about prejudice. Kapilows crackerjack musical accompaniment to
a psychological tug-of-war between a boy named Sam-I-Am and a character called
the Grouch meets Dr. Seusss touching and funny tale about overcoming every day
prejudice. [Kapilow] is as lively as a top-fight sports announcer and as entertaining
as a stand-up comedian. But hes also got substance in spades, raved the Kansas
City Star. WHEN: 7:30pm Friday, 4:30pm Saturday WHERE: Lobero Theatre, 33

A
ny hyperactive kid can tell
you that you can make sounds
out of just about anything, but
the members of S Percussion have
turned such pursuits into an art form.
The 12-year-old percussion quartet
employs everything from a traditional
drum kit, cymbals, vibraphones and
gongs to the whoosh of fngers pulling
away from duct tape or the clacking
of Ethernet connectors, performing
repertoire that ranges from decades-
old classics to pieces written for the
quartet to their own compositions.
Dubbed an experimental power-
house by The Village Voice, Brooklyn-
based S has found a broad audience
among classical fans, punk rockers,
jazzers and avant-garde devotees.
Founder Jason Treuting talked about
the quartet in advance of its Santa
Barbara debut, set for next Tuesday at
UCSBs Campbell Hall.
Q. Its your first time here, so can
we start with some basics, like how the
ensemble got together?
A. We started in 1999 at Yale, but the
group has changed so much. Im the
only (original) guy still kicking. We
were just assigned to play together,
and did so for two years, and by the
end of that, we were already touring
and getting commissions, which is
what were about now, making new
things happen. So it was a pretty
organic process. And while the band
has changed a bunch, we still all have
Yale in common. Having the core of
going through that program about
contemporary chamber music, its still
where were all coming from. Weve
moved on, but its our core.
How did you get commissions so quick-
ly? Are composers starving for percus-
sionists to play their music?
Well, it was mostly composers at
school at first, even though they were
new pieces written for us. But there
is a kindred relationship. We need
each other. Percussion is where its
at a young tradition in Western
contemporary classical music; its a
boundless and endless opportunity.
The first real piece we commissioned,
not from just a friend we begged, was
David Lang. We had no idea how it
worked. We were trying to get three
people to write works for us, but for
the amount of money we had, he told
us we wouldnt normally be able to
get even one. But he said if we let him
write us a huge piece of music that
wed do really work our asses off on
the music then hed do it. We spent
eight hours a day for almost a year
to figure it out which became an
archetype for us because the tradition
didnt really have anything like that
before. Normally its a five-minute
piece of music that calls for thirteen
players and sirens and drums. The
string quartet tradition has grown into
huge works by Beethoven and Bartok
we were jealous of that. A lot of our
work has moved into that direction of
making bigger statements.
The new CD/DVD, Steve Mackeys It
Is Time, is clearly one of those.
Yeah, we invested a year with him
in putting it together. He really went
for it. When you have that kind of
energy you go for it too. It came out
great.
Youre not playing anything from that
in this concert, though. Can you take me
through the program here?
The show in Santa Barbara specifi-
cally? Sure. In the past, we havent
really mixed these kinds of selections
from projects we were making side by
side with works by masters like Steve
Reich and John Cage. Mostly we cre-
ate new things either by ourselves or
with a composer but theres a really
rich experimental percussion approach
that comes out of an American, and
even New York, tradition. So were
doing the Mallets piece Steve Reich
wrote for us thats very lightheart-
ed and fun, with two vibraphones
My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously you must turn on, tune in, and drop out Dr. Timothy Leary

night, leave the youngns at home and head back downtown to SOhO for another
appearance by the former Santa Barbara-based folk-rock quartet ALO. An evening
with the Animal Liberation Orchestra recalls the glory days of the Grateful Dead
(sans the psychedelic drugs, thank you very much), made up of marvelous music
that becomes sort of a total immersion experience incorporating interlocking waves
of melodies and harmonies built upon shifting structures and jams that are fresh
and exciting while still stunningly tight and focused. Feel free to wear costumes, but

With the St. Louis

its understandable
if you misread this
entry as referring

slugger Stan (the

level. Unfortunately,
the beloved now-
retired teacher at
Vieja Valley Elementary who is also a highly-prized member of the Santa Barbara
music community has racked some sizeable medical bills, and the Song Tree Concert
Series is aiming to help him out with the assistance of the local but all-too-rarely-
heard-in-our-own-neighborhood-anymore Marleys Ghost. The eccentrically eclectic
American roots music outft, which prominently features lifelong Montecito resident
Jon Wilcox (mandolin, guitar, vocals, songwriting) and has been together for a
quarter of a century, plays music ranging from pure bluegrass to modifed reggae, a
well-rounded repertoire that has made the outft a staple at such venerable festivals
as the Strawberry and the annual Kate Wolf memorial. Yet theyre still one of the best-
kept secrets around these parts, so tonights beneft offers a chance to do both Tysell
and yourself some good. WHEN: 7:30pm WHERE: Live Oak Unitarian Universalist

and theres even some melodies in
there. And were also going back to his
early piece, Wood. There are the two
works by John Cage: Child of Tree
was written for natural materials, so
well have a cactus wired for sound on
stage that we will name before we play
it its bad luck if you dont. I have
to tell you its pretty awesome to put
a contact mic on a cactus. That goes
right into 3rd Construction, which is
a percussion quartet warhorse, written
for tin cans and drums and instru-
ments you wont be able to pinpoint,
like conch shells and rattles. Its from
1941, but it sounds completely new
every time. And weve got selection
from two big evening-length works we
made: Myth of Noise is like the title
suggest; theres noise of all types with
beautiful harmonies on top. Well ask
the audience to help us out on that one.
Youve mentioned New York several
times. Obviously its a very cutting edge
community. Could this group exist some-
where else like Santa Barbara even?
I grew up in Thousand Oaks so I
know Santa Barbara isnt all bump-
kins. But youre right in a certain
sense. None of us are New Yorkers,
were all from other places. Theres
an obvious reason we were all drawn
there thats where the Yale com-
munity goes, but its also a rich and
vital community of artists. But were
also looking for a broader relevance.
Five or six years ago, we did what
we called the Red State Tour and we
were worried they wouldnt under-
stand what we were doing. But the
people did respond. If youre pas-
sionate about it, the artistic, aesthetic
ideal isnt as important. Those are the
kinds of places were psyched to go
to, where its just about the four of us
playing together.
Which goes to the idea that youre
a band, a true quartet, more than an
ensemble.
Its very hip and in to call yourself
a band these days in New York. But
I grew up playing drum sets in rock
bands, rather than through the orches-
tra, so its natural for me. In grad
school, we checked out string quartets
at the same time, learning how to play
like a string ensemble. We try to bring
that to the table.
And you also mentioned improvising.
How does that work when you arent the
composers?
It is mostly in our own work. In the
Mackey, for example, there are nine
bars out of 571 measures where I can
do my own thing. But mostly its an
approach. I studied improvisation at
school and I do a lot in my duo side
projects. We try to bring it to the table
whenever possible.
So really, you all just like to bang on
things, right?
Yeah, I guess thats pretty much
what its about. Maybe you could say
we like to find interesting sounds. Its
not a bad way to make a living.
Evil Dead: The Musical
Out of the Box Theater Company has
specialized in bringing fringe musi-
cals to town over the last three years,
beginning with the madcap marijuana
farce Reefer Madness, followed by 60s
counter-culture classic Hair, and then
Assassins, Stephen Sondheims paean
to presidential murderers and would-
be political killers. This time around,
however, the victims are a little less
sympathetic: a bunch of zombies and
a few college kids at a cabin in the
woods. Yes, its Evil Dead: the Musical,
a comedic tale based on the 1980s cult-
classic horror film trilogy directed by
Sam Raimi.
Out of the Boxs founder-director
Samantha Eve filled us in on the par-
ticulars behind the campy show that
features such numbers as All the Men
in my Life Keep Getting Killed by
Candarian Demons, Look Whos
Evil Now, What the F@#k Was
That? and Do the Necronomicon.
The production takes over the Center
Stage Theater this weekend complete
with zombie-themed cocktails at inter-
mission including Severed Hand
sangria.
Q. Can we start with why you created
Out of the Box?
A. I grew up in Santa Barbara then
went to NYU for musical theater. When
I came back...I realized there just wasnt
any musical theater here in town, after
Santa Barbara Civic Light Opera had
closed. Most of the musicals are tour-
ing companies out of L.A. or New
York. So I had the idea to start a com-
pany to focus on contemporary musi-
cal theater, shows that challenge your
concept of what musical theater is. The
themes are things you can relate to but
still be funny, and touch on important
topics. Rodgers and Hammerstein are
great, but its not what we do. A lot of
people who come are not even typi-
cally fans of musical theater at all. For
Reefer Madness, my younger brother
brought his friends, and they loved it.
Its great that they can get that same
brand of entertainment you see on TV,
but its live.
How did you choose Evil Dead?
Id heard about it when I was in New
York, and I remember thinking, Oh
my God, a show with a splatter zone
like at Sea World! That was hard to
wrap my head around. Then when we
managed to get Halloween weekend
at Center Stage, this show just jumped
out from my brain as totally appropri-
ate. And its perfect for these days,
when zombies are all over the movies,
books and TV. You might say were
jumping on the zombie bandwagon.
So are you a fan of horror movies in gen-
eral or the Evil Dead series?
No, not at all. Im easily spooked. Im
the one who closes my eyes at the gory
parts and if I see some ends up think-
ing about them for a week afterward.
But this is so funny, and gory in a very
non-scary way. I did go and rent all the
films, but the show is really different.
Fans of the movie will appreciate all
the little moments and winks that ref-
erence parts of the film, but its funny
and campy and silly on its own. Now
I feel like Ive become desensitized
to this stuff. Ive been watching The
Walking Dead on AMC and it doesnt
even phaze me anymore!
So its more comedy than horror? People
who are squeamish dont need to stay
away?
Theres blood, but its not realis-
tic. Its definitely tongue-in-cheek. Not
scary at all.
But theres a splash zone: people are
going to get wet.
Yeah. You will if youre in the first
two rows on either side of the stage.
There are two blood cannons and the
entire set is rigged with tubing. At cer-
tain moments the zombie massacre
scene and others the fake blood will
shoot out. Our FX team made it; its
nontoxic Im told it tastes like carrots
by the guys at Center Stage who were
brave enough to try it and it doesnt
stain. You can wash it right out of
your clothes. Plus we will have plastic
ponchos available if you want one. If
youre not in that zone, though, you
wont get wet. Weve aimed the blood
cannon precisely and checked it out in
all of our tech rehearsals. You wont
have any problem with the special
effects.
It all sounds a bit like Rocky Horror.
How does Evil Dead compare?
Its very similar in that its based on
the film and there are extra jokes. Rocky
Horror became funnier in retrospect but
it took itself seriously at the time. Evil
Dead makes jokes and puns and refer-
ences to itself all the time throughout,
and refers to other musicals, too, from
Hairspray to Grease, in style of music
and choreography. Its much more
campy and tongue-in-cheek.
Its Halloween weekend. Are costumes
appropriate?
Youre welcome to. Come dressed as
zombies, because the more the merrier.
If youre in the splatter zone, you wont
need one, of course; youll be bloody
enough by the time you leave.
(Out of the Box Theatre Company
presents Evil Dead: The Musical at
8pm October 27-31 at the Center Stage
Theater. Tickets are $20, or $25 in the
splatter zone. Call 963-0408 or visit
www.outoftheboxtheatre.org.)
Elsewhere in theater, four local shows
come to a close this weekend, including
the Santa Barbara premiere of Trojan
Barbie at SBCC, and the re-production
of The Exonerated at the Plaza Theater
in Carpinteria. Ensembles local debut
of Underneath the Lintel which fea-
tures a terrific bravura, understated
performance by actor-comedian Tim
Bagley in a thought-provoking tale of
a librarian chasing the mystery behind
a book returned 113 years late winds
up its run on Sunday, while Circle
Bar B wraps up its 40th anniversary
season with three final shows of its
most popular play, Sylvia. Meanwhile,
the one show that continues past the
weekend in which Rubicon Theater
lifts the director (Jenny Sullivan) and
two stars (Joseph Fuqua and Jamie
Torcellini) of The Mystery of Irma Vep
from ETCs hilariously clever produc-
tion last season makes good use of
the Halloween holiday, with special
events nightly through Sunday featur-
ing ghastly goodies, tasty treats and
raffle prizes, including half-price tick-
ets on Sunday and a post-show party.
Pop Tarts
Electronic music producer-per-
former Deadmau5 who uses cut-
ting-edge computer technology
including proprietary software to
assemble tracks on the fly brings
his Meowingtons Hax tour to the
Santa Barbara Bowl on Thursday,
with Feed Me, Le Castle Vania, Jason
Bentley and SOFI among the sup-
porting acts. Fans might also want
to head over to the Savoy after the
show, where Brooklyn-based funked-
out electronic producer-musician
Eliot Lipp surprisingly shows up in
Santa Barbara on a rare West Coast
tour behind his new CD, How We
Do: Moves Made, released earlier this
month. Also on Thursday: Four time
CMA female vocalist of the year,
the big-voiced contemporary country
singer Martina McBride, whose hits
include Blessed, A Broken Wing
and Wrong Again, at the Chumash.
Its been more than 52 years since
Buddy Holly (who was the subject
of two tribute albums just since the
summer), Richie Valens and the
Big Bopper died in a plane crash in
Iowa, a tragedy known as The day
the music died. Even more amaz-
ing: American Pie, Don McLeans
epic song that makes note of that
event, came out 40 years ago this
month. McLean, who also scored with
Vincent (Starry Starry Night) taken
from the same LP and not a whole lot
since, is still making music and tour-
ing, including a stop at the Granada
on Saturday. MJ

n spite of historically low mortgage
loan rates and price levels refecting
those of 2002-2203, the National
Association of Realtors says that
existing home sales are, to paraphrase,
not so great. Not really a surprise
given that many mortgage originators,
despite stricter requirements, seem
to prefer not to lend at present rates,
and companies have been shedding
jobs due to perceived economic
uncertainty. Its very diffcult to buy
a house if you cant get fnancing and
dont or may not soon have a job.
Our experience is, of course, col-
ored by national and international
economic factors, yet in many fun-
damental ways, Montecito continues
to be different. Most striking is that
buyers in Montecito are purchasing
nearly everything offered under $2m,
and yet almost nothing in the high-
end sector where financing and job
security historically has not been a
primary factor in purchasing con-
siderations. Clearly, the once stable
income wealthy are in no mood to
take a position on high-end real estate
when their stock and bond portfolio
is in such turmoil. Thus, given the
nearly singular interest in our low-
end (relatively speaking of course)
homes, our median sales price a
number wherein half the sales are
above and half below continues to
erode to the present level of $2.150m
while our average sales price has
decreased a full $1m since 2006.
However, our sales are actually
up 15% year over year. Competing
for buyers with just over 200 other
Montecito properties, ten homes were
chosen and successfully closed escrow
since the first of October. Achieving
the highest price this month is an
impressive two level Cape Cod-style,
4,869-sq-ft, four bedroom home built
in 2002 on 1.26 acres of a former, major
Olive Mill Road estate property enjoy-
ing mature gardens and stately trees
from an earlier era. It nicely mixes
traditional architecture with high-
pitched ceilings and a contemporary,
white color scheme. Finding the cor-
rect buyer and price point took over
600 days. It first listed in mid-January
of 2010 at $5.5m and closed on the 7
th

of this month at $3.3m.
$2-3m
Off Camino Viejo on Alcala lane, a
3bd/3ba ranch-style home built in the
mid '60s sold for $2.3m after only three
days on the market. Nicely updated
throughout, the 3,151-sq-ft home has
expansive beamed ceilings and an
open floor plan. It listed for $2.495m.
The seller purchased the property in
August of 2004 for $2.31m. Just before
Park Lane going East on East Valley,
Randall Road comes in on the left. An
early '70s, 3,456-sq-ft 4bd/4ba con-
temporary with a cathedral ceilinged
living room, pool and spa with moun-
tain views on a quiet cul-de-sac listed
for $2.995m and sold for $2.21m after
356 days on the market.
$1-2m
Four homes sold in the $1-2m sector.
Arcady Road is reached off Sycamore
Canyon Road just before Cold Spring
School and is part of Arcady Estates,
an enclave of homes surrounding the
historic Knapp Estate. Built in the late
70s, a 3bd/3ba, 2,332-sq-ft described
as California cottage has vaulted ceil-
ings, a gourmet kitchen and enjoys
strong, close mountain views this area
can provide. It was listed in early May
for $1.725m and closed at $1.625m.
On less than a half acre on Westmont
Road off upper Sycamore Canyon
Road, a new 4bd/3ba custom home
with many green elements found a
buyer after 162 days on the market
at $1.5m. It first listed for $1.95m.
Another contemporary located at
the end of Orchard Avenue off East
Valley Road near Sheffield featuring
3bd/2.5ba, a third story roof deck
with spa and a detached studio sold
for $1.2 after only ten days listed at
$1.295m. It sold last in September 2010
for $1.625m. Off lower Hot Springs as
near to Vons as you can get, a 50s cot-
tage style, 2,000-sq-ft, 3bd/2ba with a
detached guest studio with bath, on
Palm Tree Lane, sold for $1.060 after
165 days asking first $1.698m.
Under $1m
Two homes sold for under one mil-
lion dollars. On the corner of Cowles
Road and Eucalyptus Hill Road at
the fire station on Sycamore Canyon,
a 1,600-sq-ft ranch-style built in 1955
on .79 acres with unobstructed moun-
tain views sold for $944k. Described
as looking for a remodel, it sold
after 128 days on the market. And at
the top of Westmont Road on Circle
Drive, a mid-50s, 1,847-sq-ft, 3bd/2ba
on .28 mountain view acres with
remodeled kitchen and bath listed in
mid June for $995k. It closed on the
12
th
for $792,500. MJ
