The Not So Drowsy Chaperone

You have no excuse for not catching the Santa Barbara High School production of the The Drowsy Chaperone; the Otto Layman directed Broadway musical plays again this weekend and it stars a number of

up-and-coming Hollywood-Broadway talents, many from Montecito. I caught the show on opening night last Friday, November 9 and – this is the whole truth and nothing but the truth – my cheeks hurt from laughing so hard and so often. And I’m not talking about the cheeks I sit on. The Drowsy Chaperone features music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar, all close friends who created this Broadway musical parody as a wedding gift. It was nominated for a slew of Tony Awards and won five (including best book for a musical and best original score). It opened on Broadway in 2006.

After 17 years at the helm of Santa Barbara High School’s theatre program, Otto Layman is astride the pinnacle of his directorial career. Backed up by an animated and gifted cast, he puts these shows together nearly flawlessly, in what seems like record time.

Before Mr. Layman, the SBHS theatre program was almost dead in the water. This is no reflection upon his predecessor, but there was little interest in live theatre when Otto arrived. Well, of course, he changed all that. He was able to transmit his love of live performance to his high school charges so that now

Emma Robins (center) plays Janet Van DeGraaff, the somewhat reluctant bride-to-be in the SBHS pro-duction of The Drowsy Chaperone; curiously, there really is/was a Janet Van DeGraaff: it is the real name of Bob Martin’s then wife-to-be and for whom the play was created as a wedding gift (or at least a bachelor party gift)

EDITORIAL Page 224Elli Harb is indeed The Drowsy Chaperone, so sleepy, so lazy, so self-absorbed she barely has time for the bride-to-be she is supposed to be chaperoning

Madam Mayor Marty’s Memoirs

Monte ito Miscellany

by Richard Mineards

Richard covered the Royal Family for Britain’s Daily Mirror and Daily Mail before moving to New York to write for Rupert Murdoch’s newly launched Star magazine in 1978; Richard later wrote for New York magazine’s “Intelligencer”. He continues to make regular appearances on CBS, ABC, and CNN, and moved to Montecito five years ago.

MISCELLANY Page 184

Santa Barbara’s former First Lady, Marty Blum, is ready for her close-up!

After three and a half years Marty, who was mayor of our tony town from 2001 to 2010, has at last com-pleted her book on her political reign.

A number of local publishers have shown interest in the colorful 200-page mini-autobiography, which will be titled Madam Mayor.

“Unfortunately I didn’t take any notes during my tenure, so it was hard to look back,” Marty tells me from Connecticut, where she has been vaca-tioning. “But I remember many good things from my mayoralty, including seeing our sister cities in Mexico and Japan, and an official trip to France.

“I had the calendars and ten good size boxes of material to go through. It was a real adventure, but I learned a

lot about writing. The secret is to make a very good outline, but I suffered writer’s block big time. Two hours at a time was the most I could do.”

The best little paper in America(Covering the best little community anywhere!)

I am already receiving many year-end requests for donations from the various non-profit charity

groups I have chosen to support over the years. I love to give and share the money I have worked so hard to obtain, because I am so fortunate to live in a country that has given me the opportunity to succeed.

However, I now intend to place this note instead of my check into the return envelopes for my local chari-ties. I hope that, with the goal of “edu-cating about consequences,” you may be inspired to do the same.

In the return envelope I will provide this:

“Dear [Non-Profit Organization]:For many years I have enjoyed the

opportunity to share the fruits of my labor with worthy groups such as yours. Recently, however, the majority of the citizens have decided that in our country we will look to government for our needs and there will be a new pathway for chan-neling money to those who need it.

Now, the government will take my money in the form of increased taxes, and then will distribute my money to worthy organizations such as yours.

Therefore, please send this request for donation funds to your local, state and national governments to obtain the money that I would have donated to you directly.”

Actors and Others For Animals

As many of you know, SB Arts was started to help support my personal animal rescue endeavors and sanctu-ary. I am emailing to ask if you would like to help animals and seniors in need this holiday season.

My friend Diana Basehart (who co-founded Actors and Others for Animals) is spearheading a new non-profit. We are asking for a gift basket, a gift certificate or a donation of any kind that we can use for the silent auction for this much needed wonder-ful resource. Please let me know if and what you can do. Anything is appreci-ated. Of course it would be great to see you at the event, too. Please help spread the word and thank you for caring.

Hugs,Lynn AdamsSanta Barbara Arts (Editor’s note: Ms Adams is owner-

founder of SB Arts; her address is 1114

Into The AbyssWhat a disappointing election! To

think that we’re going to have the most incompetent president (after Carter) for the next four years is really depressing.

We’ll be like Europe in four years looking to get out of debt and our huge deficit imposing more and more taxes to the people that actually have a job.

Forward! Indeed into the abyss.J. CortezSanta Barbara(Editor’s note: Take heart; perhaps we’ll

all get August off from now on! – J.B.)

The Nation Has SpokenAlthough the President – Barack

Obama – won re-election for another four-year term, the question becomes whether the Republicans will be will-ing to try and find common ground for the good of the nation.

Will Republicans move toward the center especially after seeing some of their Tea Party candidates fall in the general election?

Will Republicans start talking to the President and finding a solution to the economic morass in which we are still buried?

Will Republicans find a way to work with the President to solve the fiscal cliff looming and turn the ship of state in a different direction?

Or will Republicans once more play chicken and take the nation to the brink?

President Obama’s reelection, is about the changes that are already happening.

The Affordable Care Act – the single most significant bill of Obama’s first term – is law. It’s law that mostly won’t go into effect until 2014, but it’s law nevertheless. Obama’s reelection is all that was required for the United States of America to join every other industrialized country in having a universal healthcare system.

The Dodd-Frank financial reforms are law. Obama doesn’t need to ask Congress to work with him on Wall Street reform. They already did. Wall Street will simply need to learn to live with the new regulations.

Tax increases are law. The Bush tax cuts are expiring at the end of

the year, as is the AMT patch, as is the payroll tax cut, as are a host of smaller business tax cuts and stimulus tax cuts. President Obama is open to compromise, but he rejected the idea of extending the Bush-era tax cuts for Americans with income of over $250,000 per year.

On their own, passing and imple-menting any of these laws would be a huge achievement for a presi-dency. The three of them together are a record and pace of domestic change unmatched by any recent adminis-tration. So while in 2008, Obama’s election was a vote for hope, in 2012, his reelection carries a guarantee of change.

The nation has spoken. We must all respect the outcome as we have always done throughout most of our country’s history. We must heal the wounds and remember we are all Americans.

The election is over. It is time to take off the partisan hats and get down to business. Now is not the time to bull up and stand in a corner holding one’s breath. Now is the time to put aside the politics and do what is right by the people.

Leoncio MartinsMontecito (Editor’s note: Gee, just like you guys

did during the eight years of the Bush presidency? – J.B.)

All Questions Answered

Just like the rest of the country, one half left and one half right, just like Santa Barbara, with the liberal Independent and the conservative MJ, just like MSNBC and Fox, just like all the rest, you aren’t helping any with the problem...You are just keeping it going.

If they put up a ticket of Quayle-Palin or Palin-Quayle, you would write an editorial supporting it, just because. Really? Makes sense for qual-ity leadership in America? You Would.

You fault Obama for not reaching some goals. Impossible as they were.

You folks are so disingenuous, it has been staggering to watch for the past four years. You pretend that what Obama walked into when he walked into the White House was just a nor-mal USA political transition. It was anything but normal. He walked into

a nightmare left him by Bush-Cheney. Our world was blown up. So easy to forget. Really? Easy to forget? Really? On the Republican watch, they create a gigantic hole, the Democrat comes in, forced to try to fix the huge mess, and then you-all make him wrong for four years because he isn’t fixing it fast enough... Great. Such an honest position.

The world was happy to be rid of Bush-Cheney... So happy that none of that crowd was nowhere to be seen four years later at even the Republican convention or any event. Ghosts. Gone. Good.

Can any of us really imaging what he walked into? The last great depres-sion took 16 years to take care of. That was with WW2, and everyone in America working together... it took 16 years.

This poor guy walks into a world gone mad, Wall St. exploding, housing blowing up, Detroit bankrupt, whole countries bankrupt, a ruptured oil pipeline about to blow in the Gulf of Mexico, etc, etc, etc. And Best Of All, a Republican party who went back to the capital on the day the man put his had on the bible and around a con-ference table made the enlightened decision that even though all of this happened on the Republican watch, (boy, were Bush-Cheney glad to leave to enjoy their multimillion $$$ life-styles, whew!) They decided not to help him in any way... Treason as far as I can tell.

We blew the world up, gave it to another guy, decided not to help in any way, and in a totally sick ploy to try to get back in power, made all of this His problem. America, ya gotta love it.

What a country. It must be so hard to be a Republican these days. Voter suppression, lies, ligit rape, sto-len elections, (2000), Diebold voting machines, Earth, 9000 years old, sci-ence not real, facts not real, etc.

A couple of honest questions: Require honest answers:

1) Just how much time did you give Obama to fix the problems? Be specific.

2) When did it become the Presidents job to create jobs?

3) When else in American history has one political party, elected to gov-

Montecito Association

Village Beat by Kelly Mahan

At this month’s Montecito Association board meeting, the board voted unanimously to

weigh in on cellular company NextG’s plans to install 11 more antenna sites in Montecito. The antenna facilities, to be used by cell company Crown Castle, will be considered by the Montecito Planning Commission on November 28.

The 11 new antenna sites include six that will be vaulted underground, with four placed on already existing poles, and the erection of one new pole on Santa Rosa Lane. “We have studied these sites, and it is not feasi-ble to vault all of them underground,” said Sharon James, representative for NextG.

The board voted to send a letter to MPC, suggesting three things for this project: First, they suggest that NextG do everything possible to vault the equipment underground. Second, they ask that NextG replace outdated equipment with smaller components when the technology becomes avail-able. And third, regarding the new pole on Santa Rosa Road, the MA board suggests that it is inappropriate

to erect a new utility pole in a hous-ing development where the rest of the utilities have been undergrounded. “We need the neighborhood to be notified of this, and if they choose, they should be able to say ‘no,’ know-ing their cellular service may be com-promised,” said Land Use Chair Dave Kent.

A discussion ensued about the need for more antennas for cellu-lar service. Other companies, includ-ing T-Mobile and Metro PCS, have infiltrated Montecito via the NextG network. “The only defense we have against this is proactive community planning,” said Abe Powell, who sug-gested that the MA host a forum to discuss alternate locations for future antennae.

During community reports, Montecito Union School superinten-dent Tammy Murphy reported that a facilities committee working on the modernization of the school will likely be ready in January to present plans and cost estimates. The committee, which is looking into modernization,

Luncheon and inaugural presentation of the Strong, Smart and Bold awards at Fess Parker’s Doubletree Resort.

The ballroom was packed with peo-ple including some of the little gals from Girls Inc. Besides being so cute, they passed out tiny boxes of choco-late and said, “Thank you for sup-porting Girls Inc.,” to each and every person.

Event co-chairs Renie Kelly and Yolanda Van Wingerden welcomed the crowd saying, “Girls are our national treasures and Girls Inc. is

here to stay because of you.” Master of Ceremonies was Carina Corral, KSBY Anchor who introduced the featured speaker Marilyn Tam, a noted human-itarian and international business lead-er. Her life story is such an inspiration. She was born in Hong Kong and was

both verbally and physically abused by her parents, who told her she was a girl, a waste of a pregnancy and she was no better than dirt.

Marilyn had a grandfather who was kind and gave her a strong name. She also had one teacher she loved. As she said, “You don’t know what happens to the seeds you plant.” She came by herself in her teens to the States. She remembers spending four years in

Oregon with one pair of Dr. Scholl’s shoes because they didn’t get ruined if they got wet. She since became presi-dent of Reebok, vice president of Nike and CEO of Aveda and now lives in Montecito.

Celebrating those who inspire brought Nancyann Failing to the podium for her award. She has

As executive director Monica Spear said, “Nancy never met a capital cam-paign she didn’t like.” Next was Perri Harcourt who was a founding mem-ber of the One Hundred Committee Luncheon, which recently had its 27th anniversary. This began as a group of one hundred women who gave $100 to support Girls Inc. Now it’s a huge group that donates greatly. While Perri was board president, the Santa Barbara and Goleta Girls Inc. merged.

More honorees were mother-daugh-ter duo Lorraine and Stephanie

Wilson. Lorraine wrote a News-Press column for many years reporting on non-profits. Both of them edited the Girls Inc. book Letters From the Heart several years ago, which chronicles inspirational stories of local women who “made good” in spite of adversi-ties.

Angel Flight WestAngel Flight West held a reception

at the Biltmore in honor of Dr. Roger C. Dunham, an Angel Flight West Command Pilot and Area Leader. The La Marina room was filled not only with Angel Flight people, but also many patients of Roger’s. His wife, Keiko, was at his side along with their daughter Rochelle Karr and son-in-law Adam. Roger is also chair-emeri-tus; Martin Bell is now chair.

Besides wine and delicious hors

d’oeuvres, Angel Flight West pre-sented a video explaining its work, which is impressive. Since 1983 it has arranged over 54,000 humanitarian flights flown by volunteer pilots and commercial airline partners in thirteen western states. It is the largest organi-zation of its kind in the United States. Many lives are saved for people who can’t afford the transportation to a proper medical facility. Every sum-mer, Angel Flight West also flies kids with special needs to various camps in the western states.

Some of the sponsors were Linda and Fred Gluck, Ronald Hays, Leslie Ridley-Tree, Jane and Norm Habermann, MarBorg Industries, Pueblo Radiology Associates, Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care of Santa Barbara and the Board of Directors.

The community service council members attending were Jaclyn Penso, Melinda Johansson, Cheryl Hall, John Kendall, Amy Rondepierre, Don Margolin and John Wrench, MD.

For flight requests, call 888 4-AN-Angel, and they are truly angel flights.

Fall ReceptionThe Trustees of the Santa Barbara

Foundation invited guests to a cele-bration of community philanthropy so they could thank them for their gener-ous gifts to the community. About 200 folks gathered in the Lobero courtyard that had been tented to keep us toasty. We mixed and mingled while we bombarded a long buffet of goodies.

Foundation trustee and secretary Jim Morouse gave a brief history of the Lobero since 1873. It was rebuilt in 1924 and today renovations will be taking place including installing fewer and more comfortable seats (greeted by cheers), doubling the size of the ladies’ room (even louder cheers) and installing a new air conditioning sys-tem. In 1924 they ran out of money and so the esplanade in front of the theatre was never completed as archi-

tect George Washington Smith pro-posed. It will now be constructed as it was supposed to be. Jim told us that 51 families have donated $3.7 million with a recent $1 million anonymous gift for the restoration.

Santa Barbara Foundation Chair Peter MacDougall reminded us, “The Foundation was begun eighty-four years ago.” President and CEO Ron Gallo added, “This event brings out our whole family.” The Foundation supports and aids many non-profits in town, allowing them to be able to do more.

Some of those supporters and guests attending were Michael and Anne Towbes, Clifford and Juliette Sponsel, Shirley Ann Hurley, Ernesto Paredes and Ben Romo.

“It was a real adventure. David sug-gested I added a few stories and I’m now very comfortable with the out-come. I’ve got a number of publishers interested and hopefully it will be out in the spring.”

Marty, 68, who studied at Purdue and Loyola universities and, prior to entering the political arena, practiced law, was first elected to the city coun-cil in 1995 and won re-election in 1999.

“This has really whetted my appe-tite for writing,” she adds. “I’d like to write about my ancestors, or maybe a historical biography.”

Canada’s FinestFormer KEYT-TV reporter and

weekend anchor Scott Hurst has land-ed on his feet.

Scott, who abruptly left the ABC affiliate after covering the Olympics in London on a freelance basis for another TV company, just started a new job as a reporter for Canadian TV in Vancouver.

It is a homecoming of sorts, given he first worked for the network – where

I was a regular on The Dini Petty Show for many years flying from New York to Toronto to tape at CFTO-TV – as a humble teleprompter operator seven years ago.

“It was my first TV news job,” he laughs.

Scott, who came to Santa Barbara after working as a reporter for the NBC affiliate in Eureka, also covered the Winter Olympics in Vancouver and the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore.

I had suggested that, to add some flair to his wardrobe while he was on anchor duty, he might wear a pocket square on air, advice first proffered to me by the late ABC anchor, Peter Jennings, whose seat at the network’s West 66th Street studios in New York I

LETTERS (Continued from page 9)ern, decided to not govern, so they could (hope) to get rid of a president?

Lots of other questions, but I don’t expect any honest answers, nor do I expect you to print this...

I really do not expect you to print it, I am just really writing this to you as a letter as a fellow American.

The solution is to work together, to solve our problems, to get off the right, left thing. Maybe look at Simpson-Bowles. Etc.

I know you think your thing is good and right, but you and Fox and Rush, and Cantor, and McConnell, you are killing America, because half of America is stupid enough and foolish enough to go along with it all...

P.S., I doubt you ever watch MSNBC, and they are of the left, but compared to Fox, they really are much more honest, Fair and Balanced, they don’t make stuff up, they like facts, and they want Republicans to come on the show, but Republicans won’t come on. Watch it for a week and then go back and watch Fox, see what you think.

Glenn GriffithSanta Barbara(Editor’s note: Your side won, so con-

gratulations. There’s not much point in my trying to answer any of your questions; you already seem to have all the answers, but thank you for your note. – J.B.)

Voting For UnrealityWith a huge backlogged agenda

awaiting me, I’m taking an indefinite hiatus from steering the ship of state away from the all-but-certain catas-trophe that most certainly will engulf all Americans, and not just the people who voted for unreality.

Rather than Monday-morning-quarterbacking, I’ve found it’s more useful to step back and disengage for 30 or 60 days and then analyze with better perspective how this great nation got itself into this pickle.

I have many interests involving reli-gion, culture, art and music calling for my attention. Perhaps I can best express my growing and profound alienation with American society and

Western culture through the act of critiquing, assessing and interpreting the creative arts, and allow the “bright people” who appear in their own esti-mation to know everything, to lead us into Never-Never Land where every-thing is free, there is no pain, and being individually great must be sac-rificed on the altar of conformity and equality.

Good luck, as society’s agenda shifts radically in the direction of uncharted territory. We’ve thrown the compass and guidelines out the window in favor of Santa Claus offering to mas-sage our every bruise and fulfill our every want - just like when we were little children!

Learn Before You LeapA good reminder with the holiday

giving season ahead. Think before you donate.

As you open your pockets to do a good thing and make yourself feel good, please keep the following facts in mind: The American Red Cross President and CEO Marsha J. Evans’ salary for the year was $651,957, plus expenses. It is called the March of Dimes because only a dime for every dollar is given to the needy.

The United Way President Brian Gallagher receives a $375,000 base salary along with numerous expense benefits.

UNICEF CEO Caryl M. Stern receives $1,200,000 per year (100k per month) plus all expenses including a Rolls Royce. Less than 5 cents of your donated dollar goes to the cause. Goodwill CEO and owner Mark Curran profits $2.3 million a year. Goodwill is a very catchy name for his business. You donate to his business and then he sells the items for profit. He pays nothing for his products and pays his workers minimum wage! Nice Guy. $0.00 goes to help anyone.

Give your donations instead to any of the following:

The Salvation Army Commissioner, Todd Bassett receives a small salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 billion dollar organi-zation. Ninety-six percent of donated dollars go to the cause. The American Legion National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth! The Veterans of Foreign Wars National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth! The Disabled American Veterans National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth! The Military Order of Purple Hearts National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help

Don’t Dread it; Spread It

This has been a disappointing year, I know.

The U.S. Supreme Court ratified the Obama Administration’s power grab on health care. Now, the destructive policies of the Obama Administration will be sure to continue with the sup-port of a leftist-controlled Senate. (Some election-oriented commentators claim conservatives have a flawed message. However, before accepting that prem-ise, recall that conservatives won the gubernatorial elections in the “battle-ground” states in the last three years: Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa, North Carolina, Virginia, and Florida.) The House will be called upon to block further infringement of our liberty, but this Administration has proven arro-gant in circumventing Constitutional restraints on executive power.

The Obama administration’s poli-cies are fundamentally flawed and will not promote the prosperity and strength we strive for as Americans.

But herein lies an opportunity that we must not overlook: Because we will not be hampered by the muddled messages of a moderate White House, conservatives can focus on winning the future by inspiring emerging lead-ers with our ideas.

That is what happened in 1980 when, finally, Ronald Reagan turned the country around.

You already support Young America’s Foundation’s effective programs. They are the Conservative Movement’s largest youth outreach activities.

With your help, we are bringing

together the Conservative Movement’s brightest stars – including Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, Mike Pence, and others – with our top student leaders, to strengthen the Conservative Movement with layers of principled, articulate advocates in the cause for freedom.

We know that we have a successful formula for reaching high school and college students. We simply need to expand our programs to reach young people on an ever-increasing scale.

You know what we are up against. Leftists control our expansive and lavishly-funded college and univer-sity system. Too many Americans mis-guidedly support these institutions by giving financial gifts, taxpayer sup-port, and by enrolling their children as students.

As a result, our colleges and uni-versities are producing young adults who share Obama’s preoccupation with race, class, and gender and lack an appreciation for free enterprise and individual liberty. An election cycle, or even a perfect candidate, cannot make up for generations of mis-educated young Americans.

The recent election was not our dark-est hour. In the 1976 battle between Ford and Reagan, a principled and articulate conservative lost out to an alternative who rejected and belit-tled our ideas and had a personality few found appealing. Yet, conserva-tives held together, worked harder, and came back to lead the Reagan Revolution and a rebirth of liberty worldwide.

Our students lack the benefit of those memories. They may feel demoralized by the thought of four more years of the Obama administration’s failed policies.

We teach our students to win the battles before them--to stand up for freedom in the classroom and on cam-pus. If we all seize the opportunities right in front of us, freedom wins!

Our young leaders need to know you are behind them.

Please recommit to supporting the young men and women who coura-geously stand up for your ideas and spread conservatism in the most hos-tile of environments.

When the Left encountered losses in 2000, 2004, and 2010, they didn’t despair. They became hyperactive in recruiting young people for their ide-ology.

We need not despair during this dark time in American history. You can make a huge impact – now more than ever – by supporting our young people who will lead America in free-dom.

Gratefully,Ron RobinsonPresidentYoung America’s Foundation •MJ


Our Small, but Strong Family Tree Growing up I always wanted a sibling, a little brother or sister to boss around. My dad wasa “big kid” though and filled that role. Mom had to keep both of us in line. Her top two rules: no snickering during church and no messing upher kitchen. Some days, I think Mom felt like she had two children, instead of one.

Now Mom has lapses in memory. She got lost on her way home from church. Her once meticulously organized cupboards are nearly empty and I found rotting lettuce and moldy leftovers in the refrigerator on more than one occasion. Dad is lost without her steadfast guidance and care.

I wish I had a sibling to help me manage my parents growing care needs.

The early signs of memory loss can be difficult to understand and more difficult to admit.

If you have concerns, visit Áegis Living. We are the trusted local senior care provider specializ-ing in assisted living and memory care. We offer the finest care, given by the most committed staff. Come in for a tour and lunch with your parent. Let them experience our community filled with warmth and new friends.

McEuen Family Affair

On Entertainmentby Steven Libowitz

Steven Libowitz has reported on the arts and entertainment for more than 30 years; he has contributed to Montecito Journal for over ten years.

John McEuen, the co-founder of the legendary Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, lived in southern Santa

Barbara County for many years in the 1980s and 1990s, but he hasn’t played in town in more than 15 years. But on Saturday night, he’ll play the preeminent theater in town, when the string wizard gets together with his sons, Jonathan and Nathan – who have their own careers based in Los Angeles and Ventura – for a Sings Like Hell series concert at the Lobero.

With the Dirt Band, McEuen insti-gated the recording of the LP Will the Circle Be Unbroken in 1971, perhaps the most important record in country music history as it tied together old traditions with new outlooks. Forty years later, McEuen and sons have recorded their first album together, The McEuen Sessions: For All the Good, a document that might not be as semi-nal, but sure is a lot of fun.

We caught up with the senior McEuen over the telephone late last week.

Q. You’ve played on stage on and off with both Jonathan and Nathan since they were very young. Why now to finally make an album together?

A. I waited for them to ask me. If I had asked them, it would have been “Okay, dad, we’ll come do it for you.” But when both of them felt we would meet on equal ground, that’s when the time was right. Although I wish I could play guitar like Jonathan or sing like Nathan, so I’m not sure how equal we are.

They definitely have their own person-alities, musical and otherwise. How do you think your styles mesh?

The truth is, I learn a lot from them, because they know everything I know and then a lot more. They have a broad range of influences and knowledge outside of my circle. So it’s always great to be pushed by them.

Are you feeling the “proud papa” vibe all over again with this record?

Actually, it’s there for sure. I don’t ignore it. But the main thing is really that this is some of the best music I’ve ever made in my entire forty-six years of recording. The album really holds up. It’s definitely one of my five favorites.

Speaking of circles, this record liter-ally embodies the concept of the unbroken circle. Was there a sense of that feeling, that song, resonating in the sessions and the tour?

I feel like this is our own “circle being unbroken,” our proof that it

won’t be. It’s my statement of con-tinuance and where music can go. I’m glad to see that other people have picked up that value.

When you work together, does the natu-ral instinct of father and sons take over, or are you more equals, partners?

It’s more like we’re of the same stat-ure. There are things I like to do, and having them do it with me is a great combination. The best way to express it is that last year in December, we hadn’t played together in at least a year. And we went on stage and did two hours without even talking about it. We just went from song to song to stories to something funny, passing the torch back and forth. We didn’t have to question anything. It’s more spontaneous and exciting to me than almost anything else I do. It’s strange to say, but it is more fun than the Dirt Band. More challenging, too. We did ninety-five shows this year with NGDB and we’re really hitting its stride, but with Jonathan and Nathan, it’s even better.

I understand you each picked a few songs on your own for the album, and then a few together. Were any written for this project? And it looks like Nathan got the lion’s share, with six songs to his credit.

The setup I proposed was that each one of us would pick three songs that we want to do and the others would join in wholeheartedly. Then together picked three more that we all agreed

on. That way we had a nice variety of material. It just turned out that we all liked some of Nathan’s songs, so he won the draw. Jonathan and I have done [Dan Fogelberg’s] “Leader of the Band” together for twenty years. What was so amazing is that like just about everything, it was done on the first take. He sang the song, we played and that was it. When I told him it sounded like he was singing it to me, he said, yeah, you were sitting right there.

Can you talk about a couple of the older tracks, the Dirt Band’s first Number 1 sin-gle, “Long Hard Road” and “Old Shep”?

I wanted to make a more tradi-tional version of “Road.” The two of them sing it together really great; they sound like brothers. On “Old Shep,” I had recorded Nathan singing it when he was twelve with his kid voice and then he did it again now and put them together.

You’ve had an unbelievably long and accomplished career. If you had to pick two or three things that stand out, what would they be? And are there any disappoint-ments, things you would do differently?

The “Circle” album of course is at the top of the list, along with “Mr. Bojangles.” But I would have read more about the music business as I was getting into it, so I could have known what’s going on. The on-the-job training took way too long. And I would have asked more people to record, because they all say yes, from Earl Scruggs, to a whole bunch of fid-dlers like Vassar Clements. But time runs out. And maybe I should have spent more time with my children. And now I am.

John, Jonathan and Nathan McEuen perform together onstage at the Lobero on Saturday night, November 17 as part of the Sings Like Hell concert series. Tickets cost $39.50. Call 963-0761 or visit www.lobero.com. Jonathan and Nathan McEuen, along with Ventura fiddler Phil Salazar and Santa Barbara bassist Randy Tico [and special guests, which might include McEuen, Sr.], also play

Friday night at the new Plaza Theater in Carpinteria under the name Brand New Opry. Tickets are $20. Call 684-6380 or visit www.plazatheatercarpinteria.com.

Sex as ComedyLike a lot of artistic and musical

works, Lisa Citore’s new one-wom-an show, Keep It Wet, began with a breakup. Only her frustration in this particular separation wasn’t about unrequited love, or about not spend-ing enough time together or any of the other usual reasons for ending a relationship. It was about sex. Bad sex.

“It just wasn’t good,” she recalled earlier this week. “Lots of people, even some of my good friends, told me that it wouldn’t matter in ten years. They looked at it like it wasn’t important, like I was being shallow.”

But for Citore, that laissez-faire atti-tude just didn’t cut it. The perfor-mance artist and Tantric yoga teacher who has led workshops in sacred sex-uality for more than a decade wasn’t about to surrender to lousy lovemak-ing. And not just because it wasn’t fun.

“There’s a whole deeper journey about sex that’s a very important part of our lives,” she explained. “I see sex – even the act itself – as a metaphor for opening up fearlessly to life… Sex is the most potent energy source on Earth. It literally creates life. But it’s been cast into the shadows either by being suppressed, or exploited by porn on the other side. There are secret powers there that want to be

property is expiring; the owners of QAD have made several extensions to the lease until another property can be found. Jay Higgins, the agent for Verizon Wireless, told the Board of Supervisors in August that the com-pany is open to finding a more suit-able site, other than on Santa Angela Lane, given the community backlash.

The temporary project consists of mounting three antennas to a 35-ft lattice tower, which sits on the bed of a trailer. According to neighbor Karl Ockins, the owner of the property where the “Cell on Wheels” is located volunteered a portion of his property. “We are very much against it,” Ockins said, adding that the stark white tower is very obvious.

She said hundreds of residents turned out for the event, which honored Bill Palladini as Citizen of the Year.

The next Montecito Association Board Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, December 11.

Cold Fire UpdateLast Tuesday, November 6, several

hours after it began, the “Cold Fire” in Montecito was extinguished. Named for its location near the Cold Spring Trail, the 2-5 acre fire was located in tough terrain, and was knocked down by a coalition of agencies including Montecito Fire District, Santa Barbara County Fire, United States Forest Service, Carpinteria/Summerland Fire, Santa Barbara City Fire, Cal FIRE, Vandenberg AFB, Santa Barbara County Sheriff Department, Santa Barbara City Police and CHP. “It was an aggressive attack, and we are so thankful,” said Tricia Price, superin-tendent of Cold Spring School, where staging for the incident took place.

Helping to extinguish the fire were two air tankers and five helicopters, two of which used water from the pond at Birnam Wood Golf Club. “Although it was not a pre-designated dip site, the first helicopter on the scene made the call to use Birnam, as it was close to the fire,” said Montecito Fire Chief Chip Hickman. The Type 2 helicopters filled up eight times at Birnam, using 200 gallons per “dip.”

According to Chief Hickman, the Laurel Canyon Reserve in San Roque and the pond at Jackson Ranch in Montecito are pre-designated sites. “We always prefer these less obtrusive

sites, but in an emergency situation, it’s their call.” he said. The helicopters, staffed by the Sheriff’s Department and other agencies, used Birnam for its proximity.

Ari Kreisler, the controller at Birnam, as well as a professional pho-tographer, shared some shots of the helicopter dips. The fire, which was determined to be electrical in nature, did not threaten homes or lives.

Temporary Verizon Antenna

Last week, Ortega Ridge Road homeowners received a letter from the County of Santa Barbara, informing them that a temporary antenna facility has been erected at 484 Ortega Ridge Road. Called a “Cell on Wheels,” the mobile telecommunications facility will provide interim cellular service for Verizon Wireless.

Earlier this year, Verizon Wireless received the go ahead from the County to install a permanent antenna facility on Santa Angela Lane, but after much opposition from neighbors, as well as preschool parents and parishio-ners from El Montecito Presbyterian Church, has put a hold on the project until a more agreeable location can be found.

SHERIFF’S BLOTTER

Halloween Gone WrongWednesday, 31 October, 10:36 pm – Deputy Maupin, Deputy Delgadillo,

Senior Deputy Watkins, and K-9 Handler Hayes were dispatched to a hotel on Channel Drive for a suspicious subject brandishing a gun. The security guard at the hotel told the deputies that a guest at the hotel was sleeping when some-one knocked on his door several times. He looked through the peephole and saw a man dressed in all black, holding what appeared to be a black hand gun, with the barrel facing the ceiling. The guest called 9-1-1 and security from his cell phone. The deputies checked on other nearby rooms, and no one reported seeing a man fitting the description. At a nearby room, a Halloween party was being held with people in costume. The guests at the party did not know anything about the incident. Based on the fact that the incident occurred on Halloween night, the suspicious subject did not exhibit the “firearm” in a rude or angry manner, and the subject did not make threats, the report was written as an incident only.

Suicidal Subject Detained Wednesday, 7 November, 9 am – Deputies responded to South Jameson Road

near San Ysidro Road, for a man seen holding a knife to his throat. When depu-ties arrived they found 43-year-old Paul Robinette, standing near a parked car holding two knives to his throat. Deputies with the Sheriff’s Office quickly secured the area as officers from the California Highway Patrol closed off sur-rounding streets and the San Ysidro freeway off-ramp. A reverse 911 call was placed by Sheriff’s dispatch to area residents, advising them to stay in their homes.

After repeated attempts to communicate with Robinette failed, the Hostage Negotiation Team (H.N.T) and Special Enforcement Team ( S.E.T.) arrived and took over the incident. Robinette stood behind a parked car with an open trunk and an open passenger side door. Deputies initially believed Robinette had a gun in the open trunk and did not want to provoke him into using it.

The Sheriff’s Bomb Team robot was used to approach Robinette with food and water. Robinette did not take the food and continued to pace back and forth with the knives held tightly to his throat. The standoff finally ended when S.E.T deployed distraction devices (flash-bangs) and hit Robinette with several less lethal foam rounds, causing him to drop the knives. S.E.T. quickly moved in and safely took Robinette into custody before he could hurt himself. Robinette was transported to the hospital by A.M.R. Paramedics where he was medically and psychologically evaluated. •MJ

Boney James in Concert

Musician Boney James is coming to our town November 17 for a full

concert at the Granada Theatre, part of a concert tour featuring the release of his latest works compiled on his Contact album. He told the MJ in our exclusive interview that he will be performing music from his Contact album, as well as his fans’ favorite pieces.

Boney spoke softly with a musical timbre in his voice as he talked openly with me about his journey in music and music creating.

Q. What or who was your initial inspi-ration into music and is it the same for you now? Meaning, you chose music over everything else in front of you coming from Massachusetts to Los Angeles, so what is the core of music for you?

A. I started playing music in ele-mentary school at eight years old because back then, everyone was in the music program. They gave the kids an instrument, mine was the clar-inet, and apparently I had some talent at it. A few years later, I picked up the saxophone and really started listen-ing to music on AM radio; the music was so diverse back then. My first inspirations were R&B, that was the music that peaked my interest when I was a kid, like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, the Motown stuff, just the soul of it, I just loved it. For jazz music, it was Grover Washington when I really awoke to the potential of the saxophone. Then I got into the fusion of music. I take elements of modern

music and different styles and fuse it all together and hope something unique comes from that. Part of the evolution to becoming an artist, is to stop listening to what other musicians are doing, and so I go within and try to tune into something that is unique to me, especially when I am writing music.

Who did you study with?I had a couple of great private

teachers, a big inspiration is a teach-er in L.A., Bill Green, who taught

BOOK TALK by Shelly Lowenkopf

Variations on a ThemeShelly Lowenkopf blogs @ www.lowenkopf.com. He has held major edito-rial positions at a variety of book publishers. His Fiction Writers Handbook is out this month.

There are probably as many definitions of jazz as there are published biographies of

Abraham Lincoln. Comparison of the music and the man is not such a mountain-goat leap as it might seem. Both have enormous popularity; depending on the viewer, each means something quite different from anyone or anything else.

Academic and musical careers have been forged by pundits attempting to define each. Fortunately for us, Ted Gioia is not trying for a career in music. He already has one as a pianist of the hard bop, or gospel-inspired chromatic inventiveness, school, and a well-published jazz historian with eclectic musical tastes.

Even better for those of us who rel-ish the presence of jazz in our musi-cal diet, Gioia’s latest study, The Jazz Standards: A Guide to the Repertoire (from Oxford University Press), gives us a remarkable way of looking at – and listening to – the seemingly limitless flexibility and potential for evolution that is the genome of jazz.

The Jazz Standards is a compilation of over 250 songs, mostly yanked bodi-ly from pop culture, into a shotgun marriage with jazz, featuring acute observations of how these marriages worked out at the hands of major jazz player/composers. A good example of such a “borrowed” source and Gioia’s way of treating it is the George and Ira Gershwin popular song from 1927, “How Long Has This Been Going on?” Gioia starts by observing how many sources from that era “sound like quaint period pieces today.” But then he marvels over how Ira’s lyrics could serve as the basis for a contem-porary movie and George’s chords have an inviting, uncluttered feeling that attract modern players to impro-vise. Gioia further justifies his listing of this song with his observation that Ray Charles’s 1977 recording might have convinced you the song was written with him in mind, yet Brad Mehldau’s live 2000 recording from the [Greenwich] Village Vanguard could easily suggest “an adventurous millennium performance piece.”

Improvisation and expansion are among the most critical features of jazz. They may be seen as informed analogs to the classical and romantic composers’ “variations on a theme of” platform, where virtuoso perform-ers and admiring composers would express their admiration for the work of their earlier idols. Gioia shows us how such standards as “Back Home Again in Indiana,” when fil-

tered through the bebop saxophonist Charlie Parker, became “Donna Lee,” and Cole Porter’s “What Is This Thing Called Love?” became morphed by Tadd Dameron into “Hot House.”

Although he is quick to call out his favorite recordings and per-formances for commentary, Gioia has gone well beyond providing a laundry list. His commentary on a seemingly unbelievable achieve-ment, the composition of a legend-ary jazz standard, “Lush Life,” by a young musician not yet twenty, typifies the potential for adventure and discovery in these pages. “Lush Life,” Gioia tells us, “ranks among the most sophisticated jazz ballads – whether one considers its intri-cate harmonic palate, its elaborate structure, or just its world-weary lyrics. Even the key – D flat – was an uncharacteristic choice for a jazz chart, reinforcing the sense that this was an art song, not a pop tune.”

The composer, Billy Strayhorn, became an indispensible presence in the Duke Ellington orchestra, which, with no less significance, became a major source of composition and a home for an unparalleled progression of distinguished soloists.

Had I not been present at a Jazz at the Philharmonic concert in Los Angeles to hear an early performance of Nat Cole’s still imitated piano solo on “Body and Soul,” “Lush Life” would be the go-to composition for me, but as The Jazz Standards demon-strates, the standard tunes of the rep-ertoire provide us a lifetime of riches.

Readers coming to this book with a background in pop tunes will meet a host of old friends from the Gershwin brothers, from Cole Porter, Vernon Duke, and E. Y. “Yip” Harburg, the man who gave the world – and jazz – “Over the Rainbow.”

The zealous aficionado will “catch” a neglected standard in much the same manner all but the most unabridged of dictionaries will have omitted a word. The language will survive without the neglected word. Jazz will do nicely for us without the neglected standard. Jazz is much the better for Ted Gioia’s The Jazz Standards. •MJ

I knew I was in trouble when people getting on the boat were wearing ski parkas, woolen hats, scarves

and gloves. I was wearing my “foggy-day-in-Santa-Barbara” breathable cotton sweater and sunglasses.

It didn’t seem that cold on the deck of the Groupe Dufour while we were in port, but I figured when we got out on the water it might get a tad chillier. That’s why I hadn’t worn shorts.

“Don’t you want to come inside?” my wife asked some fifteen minutes later as the boat sped out onto the St. Lawrence River.

“Nnnnooooo,” I shivered back. “Waannnttt seeee belluuuugaaaas.”

She handed me a cup of coffee, which I tried to get to my mouth, but by the time it got there the majority of the contents were all over my shoes. I slurped the remaining droplets.

“Geettt photttooos noowwww,” I said, and headed back to the bow with the heartiest of the parka people.

We were in Tadoussac, an historic village (are there any other kind in Canada?) some four hours northwest of Québec City for one of the last whale watching trips of the season.

In 1600, Pierre Chauvin built Canada’s first fur trading post at Tadoussac – distressing, I’m sure, the local beaver population. This makes Tadoussac the oldest continu-ously inhabited European settlement in Québec and the oldest surviving French settlement in the Americas. Tadoussac is also where the cold, fresh water from the Saguenay River and the warmer, salty water of this part of the St. Lawrence meet, creating a marine environment that supports an abundance of krill, which is very attractive to krill-loving whales of all kinds, including...

“Beluga, port side!” a voice yelled out in both French and English. I pointed my telephoto lens in the gen-eral direction and took a deep breath of air so crisp it almost crunched when I swallowed. I steadied myself and instantly fired fifty shots at the rare white whale because my finger was stuck to the shutter release button.

“Humpback, ahead,” they yelled again. I turned and kept firing getting some lovely shots of the backsides of the parka people.

“Get ready for the tail!”The humpback dove and sure

enough there it was. In two seconds the humpback’s tail was recorded more times than Lindsay Lohan’s is shot by paparazzi on a Friday night in Beverly Hills.

“Fin whale, starboard!”Everyone on the boat moved to the

other side. I contemplated briefly tip-ping over and landing in those icy waters. Would someone yell: “Ernie, starboard! Watch for the coffee-stained tennis shoes!”

For the even heartier, there were other options for getting to experience this National Geographic moment, including several zodiac (open pon-toon) boats where people were dressed up like the Michelin tire man, only in bright orange. I guess so they did not resemble krill to a near-sighted whale.

All the boats were in constant com-munication so that if one boat spotted a whale, all the boats sped off in pur-suit. This must have been quite enter-taining for the whales. They probably made plans underwater for the tour-ists...

“Hey Finny, you circle ‘round and come up behind them. As soon as they all turn, me and the belugas will pop up in front. Then Minke you come up on one side and Blue you come up on the other. We’ll have them circling like a one-winged seagull.”

One fact I found interesting is that the largest whales consume a ton of krill a day. Even at the rate we had been devouring French cuisine, including the night before at an all-you-can-eat buffet in the town of Tadoussac, that had excellent soups, salads, pot roast, salmon and four different kinds of pies for desert, including one called sugar pie – “Youjusthavetotrythissugarpie. Tastelikemaple. It’sreallyreallyreallyreallygood” – I doubted we were going to eat a whole ton between us the entire vacation, though it might be close.

Another interesting fact about the waters off Tadoussac is that they sup-port some thirteen different species of whales. I thought maybe I could cap-ture the rest of them from inside the Groupe Dufour.

I got a round of gloved applause as I holstered my camera and gave up my station at the bow. Someone whis-pered: “Californian.”

The others nodded: “Ah Oui.” •MJ

I remember my grandmother’s stories about the ship that brought her to America. Although just a

child at the time, she vividly recalled the seasickness, the ship’s bed bugs and the excitement she felt when they arrived at Ellis Island. She said that shortly after arriving in America, the family boarded a train and for no particular reason, got off and settled in Omaha – where I was eventually born and raised. I’m so glad my grandmother shared her stories, but despite her best efforts, my understanding of our family’s history is sketchy at best. I have a lot of questions and there seems to be no one left alive to help piece together the puzzle.

Thankfully, we have a wonderful organization in Santa Barbara that can help us to reconstruct our family heritage. The Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society is well known to those interested in family ances-try and has the finest library of its type between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The organization recently had an open house to celebrate the completion of a two-year, one million dollar addition and library renova-tion. The history of the library is as interesting as the books and materi-als it houses. I recently interviewed Professor Arthur Sylvester, former president of the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society and Kathie Morgan, the library director. They informed me that their library was first built as a pharmaceutical labo-ratory back in 1950 by the Sahyun family, in conjunction with Sansum Clinic. Inside its walls, Visine was invented and insulin was first syn-thesized. Later, the family of Dr. and Mrs. Melville Sahyun bequeathed the library to the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society.

In this computerized era, we tend to think that everything can be found online. Not so, says Morgan. Many of

the books and records in this special-ized library cannot be found online. There are large collections of family histories written by family members themselves, file cabinets filled with handwritten notes as well as lineage society books. Morgan says, “You don’t just dial up a name on the com-puter and expect it to go back eleven generations.” In addition to search-ing through census records, there are ship manifests, property records, tax records and documentation of a person’s arrival into the country. Professor Sylvester said that the quest to track our lineage is similar to solv-ing a crossword puzzle and the seeker has to fill in the blanks.

Of course, modern technology can be useful. While it may seem like science fiction, today you can sub-mit a DNA sample to an organi-zation sponsored by the National Geographic Society and try to find others who are genetically similar. When Professor Sylvester submitted his own DNA test samples, they came up with three hits. One of the individ-uals had almost identical DNA and Sylvester is now working together with his “genetic double,” going back generation by generation, to find out how they may be related. If you love a good mystery and want to piece together your family tree, then the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society has fascinating adventures in store for you. Some of the most pre-cious benefits are the friendships that members develop as they share their

for someone seriously interested in researching their lineage, it’s quite a bargain. In addition to a newsletter, monthly meetings, interesting speak-ers, and an annual conference, mem-bers have access to the facilities and a number of membership sites such as ancestry.com (world-wide edition). If a person were to subscribe to these sites on their own, it would cost hun-dreds of dollars.

a lot of great sax players and I still hear it in my head when I practice.

What does it look like when you com-pose?

My life has really changed over the years, since I started making records; I go into hibernation. After I make a record and tour to promote it for six months, I will get an urge to create again, and I will just start spontane-ously putting down some scraps on the keyboards or sing into a recorder, and build a hard drive of ideas and then something will call to you. It starts real slow and then takes some speed after nine months or a year. The initial kernel of inspiration is almost immaterial to me, it’s part of the pro-cess: where it takes you. You get like a detective, asking what is the song that is the result of this little teeny idea?

Please talk a little about labeling music into genres.

When I grew up, music was so diverse in terms of what was accept-able; people encouraged creativity. These days, the corporate world and the media, they really want to be able to categorize people. I’m not sure what the motive is. I think a lot of it has to do with radio and playlists. I try to reduce that. You know the famous quote, “There are only two kinds of music: good and bad.” I live that. It’s not what music is, but how it is. (laughs) The culture of music has changed in the past couple of years. However, there are still plenty of people who really, really care about music.

How do you feel about the direction of music in society today? For example, do you find it the same, easier or more dif-ficult to find audiences that come just to listen to music versus seeking to be enter-tained by a staged show?

The main thing for us is that I came up playing with a lot of R&B bands like the Isley Brothers, and there wasn’t a lot of flash in terms of production, but there was that con-nection with the audience and having that music be real and exciting. It is

an energy thing; I move around a lot. On stage we are really into it and outward looking with our audience, it’s an evolving experience. The crowd becomes another band member.

So you are in the studio now creating new work?

Yes! I like to finish the record and go into rehearsals and create a new show.

Where do you see yourself going?The main reason I wanted to become

a solo artist was to be able to make music that feels real, honest and true and sincere to me. I like to stretch the envelope a little bit; the challenge is to be true to myself and not be repetitive.

Where would you like to see yourself in the history of music?

(laughs) I can’t see myself as objec-tively as an audience member or critic, I’m just trying to do my thing to the best of my ability, I feel it’s best that I keep my head out of that outward stuff and keep myself in my creative stuff and let my legacy fall where it may.

Tempting Tender for TyBeanie Baby billionaire Ty Warner,

owner of tony hostelries like the Biltmore and the San Ysidro Ranch, has reportedly received an offer he’ll find very difficult to refuse.

A prospective buyer, connected with the government of Brunei, has bid an astounding $900 million to buy his 368-room Four Seasons hotel in Manhattan.

Ty, according to Bloomberg News, would accept the $2.4 million-a-room offer should Four Seasons decline to match the bid for the flagship hotel, just a tiara’s toss or two from Tiffany and the Trump Tower.

The Toronto, Canada, based hotel group, which also runs the Biltmore and 88 other resorts around the globe, has to decide within a month.

The Brunei Investment Agency owns the Dorchester Collection, which includes the Hotel Bel-Air and the Beverly Hills Hotel, its only two hotels in the U.S.

Ty bought the New York hotel in 1999 for $275 million.

The 682-foot, 52-story I.M. Pei-designed property is the tallest hotel in the Big Apple, with the Ty Warner penthouse, where I once taped a piece when I hosted E! TV’s Gossip Show, going for a whopping $41,826 a night.

Firestone Flies to the Finish Line

Having been thwarted from run-ning in the New York Marathon after mayor Michael Bloomberg cancelled the event in the wake of the super storm Sandy, Andrew Firestone’s rigorous training wasn’t all in vain.

The Montecito financial executive, who participated in the full marathon a year ago, decided to run in Saturday’s Santa Barbara Half Marathon, a dis-tance of 13.1 miles.

“It was all very last minute,” says Andrew, 37. “I signed up on Thursday night.

“I realized that most of the peo-ple who had donated to my New York effort on behalf of the charity, Grassroot Soccer, were probably also donating so they could be responsible for me suffering out on the lonely road, sore and tired, with a bruised body and ego!”

As it was, Andrew finished the course in an hour and 40 minutes, coming in 228th out of 3,529 runners.

A commendable effort...

Making Money LastKevin Bourke, a Santa Barbara

financial planner and advisor, is all too aware of how the beleaguered economy is impacting older folk.

Now Kevin, who moved here nine years ago, has written his first book Make Your Money Last A Lifetime, a clear and simple tool which address-es the unique needs of seniors and retirees who face funding decades of retirement, while interest rates are dwindling and the economy staggers back on its feet.

“It is an unemotional and disci-plined approach to investing,” he told me at a bijou book bash at Tecolote, the tony tome temple in the Upper Village. “You have to anticipate what lies ahead and plan accordingly. It is particularly important for those enter-ing their Golden Years. Forty percent of the population in Santa Barbara is made up of people aged fifty-five and over.”

Also at the launch was Patty DeDominic, founder of the International Women’s Festivals, who wrote the foreword for the book.

Kevin is now working on his sec-ond tome, which will be on a similar subject...

George Washington Smith SocietyIt’s one of the most exclusive clubs

in America.The George Washington Smith

Society, named in honor of one of our rarefied enclave’s most popular archi-tects, was formed last year by uber realtor Harry Kolb and architect Marc Appleton.

All that is required is that you own a home by Smith, who designed 59 properties in our town after moving here in 1919 from Paris, where he had been an artist. He died in 1930 at the age of 54.

He built his own home Casa Dracaena, which led to many com-missions, and his inheriting the title Father of the Spanish-Colonial revival style.

“In his relatively short time living here he made an enormous impact, designing Casa del Herrero, his twenty-first house, and the Lobero Theatre, among other iconic buildings,” says Marc, who wrote the book, George Washington Smith: An Architect’s Scrapbook.

So it was only fitting when interna-tional legal eagle Robert Lieff and his

wife, Gretchen, opened the impres-sive gates of their 1929 Smith estate, Los Suenos, for one of the first meet-ings of the society.

“We lived here in the guest quarters for a few months in 1994 when we were looking for a house to purchase in Montecito,” says former Hollywood actor Tab Hunter. “It was owned by Columbia Pictures president, Harry Cohen’s widow, Joan, who later mar-ried the actor Laurence Harvey, who is buried in Santa Barbara Cemetery. There is a lot of history here.”

In the coming months other mem-bers of the too-too tony club will be opening their doors to reveal the won-ders of George Washington Smith’s architecture....

The dynamic duo met when they were both 19 and Kathy was doing one of his first model shoots on the oh-so chic Caribbean island of St. Barts.

“We’ve been good friends ever since and Baret is a regular visitor up here,” says Kathy, who hung Boisson’s col-orful whimsical art, which has been bought by the likes of Tom Cruise, entertainment mogul Sumner Redstone and late night TV talk show host, Jimmy Fallon – he gave a work to actress Drew Barrymore as a wed-ding gift earlier this year – around her magnificent Montecito manse.

“I’ve not had any training, but I love to share my art,” says Baret. “My suc-cess has really been word of mouth.”

A portion of the proceeds went to the Providence Educational Foundation, an organization founded eight years ago by parents of students at Santa Barbara’s Providence Hall school, which supports developmental, high quality education.

Dressed to ImpressFashionistas were out in force at

Dressed, Susan Pitcher’s trendy emporium on Coast Village Road, when Montecito designer, Caroline Calvin, and friend, Joie Rucker, held their first Calvin Rucker trunk show.

Both women are well versed in the nuances of denim, with Caroline, daughter of Joanne Holderman, spending much of her career at Levi Strauss in the U.S. and Europe, includ-ing being senior veep global creative director, while Joie is the designer

behind the Rich & Skinny brand.The two joined forces three months

ago to target a new segment of the lucrative denim market, which they describe as “casual couture for the creative class,” using luxury European and Japanese fabrics.

The basic t-shirts are made from French lace, the label’s denim jacket is made from printed silk chiffon, and the v-neck is silk charmeuse trimmed with raw-edge silk chiffon.

Clearly not your basic denim gear, the collection is being sold by Ron Herman at Fred Segal in Hollywood, where, says Caroline proudly, a quar-ter of the inventory sold in the first week.

In due course, they hope to have arranged a New York retailer to sell their collection.

Clearly, it’s all in the jeans...

Heart of HospiceFred and Joyce Lukas opened the

doors of their charming Montecito estate for a “Heart of Hospice” recep-tion, part of the new sustaining donor program.

Hospice of Santa Barbara opened in 1974, making it the second oldest hos-pice program in America, which has gone from strength to strength over the years, including opening Hospice on the Riviera seven years ago.

Among those supporting executive director, Steve Jacobsen, were Peter and Gerd Jordano, Ricardo and Dinah Calderon, Sam and Ginny Capra,

New Take On HamletHaving been performed by a host of

veteran actors like John Gielgud and Laurence Olivier, it was refreshing to see the role played by 30-year-old Michael Benz in the traveling pro-duction of Hamlet with Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre from London at UCSB’s Campbell Hall.

Benz, a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art – as was Gielgud, who broke box office records on Broadway with the same role – was an absolute joy to watch in the nearly three-hour fast paced produc-tion under the artistic direction of

Dominic Dromgoole, as were the rest of the entertaining and more than capable cast, as his character descend-ed into darkness and vengeance.

The set by Jonathan Fensom was simple but effective, as was Paul Russell’s lighting.

All in all, this Hamlet, part of the popular Arts & Lectures series, was a thoroughly entertaining show of Elizabethan Theatrics...

Focus on FranceThe French were front and center

when the Santa Barbara Symphony, celebrating its 60th anniversary, performed its second show of its “Celebration!” season at the Granada.

The concert opened with Debussy’s “Syrinx” featuring Demarre McGill,

principal flutist with the Seattle Symphony, standing alone in a second tier balcony, before joining the orches-tra under conductor Nir Kabaretti on stage for Ibert’s concerto, an intricate and challenging, but enjoyable work.

The second half was devoted to Saint-Saens “Organ” Symphony No. 3 in C minor, a rousing work that is considered one of the masterpieces of French symphonic music.

C’est magnifique!...

No Empty Bowls HereI was certainly bowled over when I

went to the Rockwood Woman’s Club for the 15th annual Empty Bowls lunch.

The event, which was a sell out, attracted 850 guests and was expected to raise $150,000 for the Food Bank of Santa Barbara, where every dollar gar-nered translates into 17 meals, accord-ing to Danyel Dean, who co-chaired the bash with Donnalyn Karpeles.

The colorful selection of bowls, in every conceivable shape and size, were made by the adult education ceramics class at the Schott Center, and guests, who had a choice of 25 soups to sup, got to take their bowls home with them.

Among those helping out the cause were Susan Bridges, wife of Oscar-winning actor Jeff, Mike Towbes, Mayor Helene Schneider, City College president Lori Gaskin, Allan Ghitterman, Janet Garufis and Mickey Neal.

Liquid assets, indeed...

Wine, Jewelry, ChocolateThe Montecito Country Club was

awash with bling when the CALM Auxiliary hosted its second annual “Wine, Jewelry, Chocolate” event co-chaired by Meredith Scott and Terri Fawcett.

More than 30 jewelers displayed their wares, as well as four chocolat-iers and five vineyards, helping raise

more than $3,000 for the 43-year-old group, who were given a percentage of the proceeds.

CALM is the only non-profit in Santa Barbara County focusing solely on preventing, assessing and treat-ing child abuse and family violence through comprehensive programs.

I’ll drink to that...

Lunchtime Concerto Camerata Pacifica’s lunchtime con-

cert at the Music Academy of the West’s Hahn Hall was a most pleas-ant hour of works by Debussy, obvi-ously a very popular composer at the moment with the SB Symphony concert also featuring two of his com-positions, and Ravel.

The performance opened with Debussy’s “Danse Sacree et Danse Profane,” featuring Bridget Kibbey making her debut on harp and Timothy Eckert on double bass, with another Debussy work “Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp” following with Adrian Spence on flute and violist Richard Yongjae O’Neill.

The show concluded with Ravel’s “Introduction et allegro” with Bill Jackson on clarinet, violinist Agnes Gottschewski and cellist Ani Aznavoorian adding to the talented troupe…

explored.” But Keep It Wet is neither a how-to

manual nor a primer on positions, and it’s certainly not a dry textbook approach to finding sacredness in sex. In fact, the smart-and-sexy stand-up comedy-style show is laced with the same kind of personal and outrageous humor that characterized the two previous theater pieces Citore wrote, directed and produced: The Tao of Sex and Bloodlines: Women’s Moon Stories.

“There are a lot of irreverent ideas in the show,” she allowed. “Like talking about how young [lovers] are better than old [lovers]. I can get pretty crass. I’m bringing in that deeper philoso-phy about sexuality, but it’s in a crafty and humorous way.”

Keep It Wet is loosely divided into three sections, with the first third focusing on the show’s original inspi-ration of “expressing feminine rage.” “That part is very subtle and funny,” she said.

The middle section talks about the idea of sexual energy as life force, delving into the concept of experienc-ing sex not just for pleasure, but also as part of human vitality, she said. “There are all kinds of studies that talk about how good sex is for our health, all the benefits. I have a little fun with that, including addressing how we feed our life force and our pleasure body when we’re not in relationship. How do we stay in connection with creation?”

Finally, the show concludes by addressing perhaps the most difficult concept: embracing the dark side. “It’s about making love to that which I can’t stand, what I’ve cast out, made the other, judged or felt superior to,” she explained. “There’s another deep message in that area: When I open up with somebody like that, it’s an act of love.”

While the show certainly wouldn’t play in Peoria, Citore maintained that while she doesn’t mind prodding or provoking people in examining the subject of sex, she’s not out to shock. “It’s interesting that even in this day and age how much of this is taboo. I want to make it friendly. I don’t want it to be scary or off limits. We’re such a repressed culture around sexuality. I just want to pull the lid off and shake people up a little bit in a good way.”

“Any time there’s an evolution of consciousness, a few people need to be the extremists. In our small com-munity, I guess I’m one of them. There are people way edgier than I am, but that’s my role here. But that’s typical for stand-up comedy (on any subject). You see the extreme and then realize your life isn’t that bad. You can take a few steps in that direction and be okay.”

While Keep It Wet surely emerged from and addresses the female per-spective, Citore said men are not only

Shakespeare’s Globe Stops at Westmont

by Scott Craig (photo by Brad Elliott)

Eleven talented actors from Shakespeare’s Globe in London performed the 25 characters

of Hamlet in an exciting, fast-paced production at Westmont’s Porter Theatre November 7. Due to time constraints, the actors were only able to perform the final half of Shakespeare’s tragedy, but they presented a clever first-half summary. The actors answered questions from members of the Westmont community following the play.

Paul Willis, Westmont professor of English and Santa Barbara poet laure-ate, noticed several changes in the text of the play that added to the momen-tum of the production. “Director Dominic Dromgoole called upon the ‘First Quarto,’ which is called the ‘Bad Quarto’ because it is much cruder and not as poetic,” says Tom Lawrence (Horatio). “But the advantage of it is it’s more direct, smaller in size and glib, allowing for certain scenes to get on with it. Most people feel that noth-ing is missing from what they expect, and it has the energy to move it for-ward very quickly.”

In addition to acting, each mem-ber of the troupe plays a musical instrument, which adds to the overall Elizabethan feel of the play.

Carlyss Peer (Ophelia) says music has always been a part of Shakespeare’s plays: “It was such an event to go to the theater that that was part of it,” she said. “There’d be sing-ing and dancing and all that, and it’s in the text.”

Westmont was the event sponsor of the Globe’s November 8 and 9 perfor-mances at UCSB’s Campbell Hall.

Powell to Speak at President’s Breakfast

Retired Gen. Colin L. Powell, who has held senior military and diplomat-ic positions across four presidential administrations, will be the keynote speaker at the eighth annual Westmont President’s Breakfast Friday, March 1, from 7 to 9 am in the Grand Ballroom of Fess Parker’s DoubleTree Resort. Tickets go on sale Friday, February 1 at: westmont.edu/presbreakfast.

Powell, a retired four-star general in the U.S. Army, was secretary of state under President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2005. He was the first African American to serve in that position, and the first and only African American to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Powell’s most recent New York Times bestselling book, It worked for Me,

reveals the lessons that shaped his life and career.

The lead sponsor of the breakfast is Santa Barbara Bank & Trust. Gold spon-sors include: Chronicle Family Offices, Hub International, Jo and Carl Lindros, Rabobank and V3. For additional spon-sorship opportunities, please call Steve Baker, associate vice president for advancement, at (805) 565-7156.

Summerland by the Sea

Leslie Westbrook is an author, freelance writer, book coach, memoirist and chief bottle washer at LeslieWestbrook.com.

by Leslie A. Westbrook

There’s no denying it: the holidays are bearing down upon us. When I saw a Christmas

display at Bed Bath & Beyond several weeks before Halloween, I thought of throwing in the towel. Truth be told, I do my holiday shopping throughout the year, to avoid a big cash hit all in the month of December and last minute gift panic attacks. I was glad to learn about a great upcoming holiday event to buy local and get ahead of the pack.

Summerland merchants Botanik, Bonita, Amelia Jane, Café Luna, Pine Trader, Summerland Winery, Waxing Poetic and Just Folk are all jumping on the holiday bandwagon and have festive holiday open houses planned at their Lillie Avenue establishments on Thursday, November 15 from 3 pm to 7 pm.

“Delicious treats, refreshing drinks, live music and holiday cheer” are promised. What exactly is “in store”? Café Luna will host artist Nancy Heffron (www.nancyheffron.com) for the opening reception of “The Space Between the Lines,” featuring her colorful contemporary paper col-lages, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, while Alex Jones from Figueroa Mountain Brewery (www.figmtnbrew.com) pours complimentary beer tastings from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm at the popu-lar café and eatery (beer and pizza from the wood-burning oven, yum!). Should you feel like doing a wee jig after all this revelry, there will be live music (weather permitting) in the gazebo supplied by the Patina String Band, courtesy of Waxing Poetic. This will be the last day for custom order jewelry with special messag-es from Waxing Poetic if you want delivery in time for Christmas. Clive Markey, last told, was in search of an Irish fiddler for his fete at The

It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like...

Pine Trader and will be serving cof-fee and cupcakes made by daugh-ter Holly Markey. Other merchants, including Summerland Winery, Botanik and Just Folk (“sweet treats and wine”) also have delicious sur-prises in store. So get out your red, your sparkle, your holiday cheer and make merry – even if it isn’t even Thanksgiving yet.

Summerland Trick O’Treaters

It’s well known that Summerland does not get a lot of trick-or-treat activ-ity on Halloween night, mainly due to our steep hills and lack of street-lights. However, Summerland School has a long-standing tradition of morn-ing trick-or-treating through town, and it’s not too bad a hike, since the school is located just one block uphill from the main drag. (Running down towards candy is rather motivating it

seems.) And Summerland elementary students were out in full force wear-ing costumes inspired by books. They were instructed to avoid “gory or grue-some costumes” – which leaves out dragon slaying princes, I suppose. No blood, no fangs, no weapons, no gore. What kind of Halloween is that? A sugary one! The students departed the school about 10:20 am and visited local

merchants that offered treats. Tinker’s was a favorite stop, due to his “full-size” candy bars. However students were “encouraged” to save their treat consumption until AFTER school. I can’t imagine too many teachers would appreciate a classroom full of kids on a sugar high. Can you blame them? One merchant in a pink wig told me she was going to pass out “toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss,” but that tooth fairy seems to have flown off to fairy-land. I didn’t see a toothbrush in sight for miles. •MJ

“Every guy wants to know what women want, what they love, to get inside her head and heart,” Citore said. “I’m exposing myself, my inner self, to let people in. [The show] gives you a window into the corridor of women that men don’t normally get to see. So not only will you laugh, but you’ll also get a glimpse of stuff that doesn’t usually get talked about out loud.”

After the performance, all are invit-ed for a post-party at the Wildcat Lounge, the downtown nightclub just one block south that also sits on Santa Barbara’s cutting edge.

“It’s alternative night there, so it just felt like the right place to be,” Citore said. “It’ll be great to bring people who normally wouldn’t set foot in the place, especially on that night, which is normally for gays and lesbians. We’ll all just dance together and have fun. This is my part of bringing us all into oneness.”

Lisa Citore performs Keep It Wet Sunday night, November 18, at 7:30 at the Center Stage Theater. General admission tickets cost $20. Call 963-0408 or visit www.centerstagetheater.org.

•••Also on stage in the stand-up-com-

edy-in-a-theater department: Eddie Izzard at UCSB’s Campbell Hall. The British comic tells truly outrageous, loony stories that border on the surreal – or at least absurd – yet are drawn from our everyday lives, with some of the same sophisticated silliness that made Monty Python such a hit. The two-time Emmy-winning comic and cult star of HBO’s Dress to Kill earns raves everywhere – including from for-mer longtime Montecito resident John Cleese, who called Izzard “The lost Python”, but if you don’t have tickets already, you’ll have to see Izzard on TV. The Saturday night show is sold out.

Classical Corner UCSB’s Opera Scenes performanc-

es aren’t a hot-ticket item like the similar event presented every sum-mer by the Music Academy of the West’s vocal department. But opera fans and those who love catching up-and-coming singers owe it to them-selves to make it out to the ocean-front campus this weekend for the annual performance from the school’s opera workshop, held in the lovely (if not quite so intimate as Hahn Hall) Karl Geiringer Hall. This year’s pro-gram includes scenes from exceed-ingly popular operas (Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro and Die Zauberflöte) to lesser-known works by opera favor-ites (Verdi’s Attila, Donizetti’s La fille du regiment) to rarities, modern and obscure (Seymour Barab’s A

Game of Chance, Smetana’s The Bartered Bride, Cimarosa’s Il matrimo-nio segreto, Floyd’s Of Mice and Men, and Offenbach’s R.S.V.P.).

The music director is vocal program head Benjamin Brecher, who has per-formed more than 50 operatic roles and sung with just as many sympho-nies throughout the world, including more than 10 roles with The New York City Opera since 1997, and in 2013 he will perform Ernesto in Don Pasquale along with the world pre-miere performances of Shot! A World Changed, an opera about the assassina-tion of President McKinley, in Buffalo. Stage director Paul Sahuc is a baritone with more than 20 years of regional opera and concert experience, includ-ing Michigan Opera Theatre, The Minnesota Opera, and Opera Santa Barbara, and an impressive resumé at leading universities and music fes-tivals developing aspiring singers. Tickets for the 3pm performances on Saturday and Sunday are just $15 gen-eral, $7 students. Call 893-7001 or visit www.music.ucsb.edu...

Head(less) to Növemberfest – post-Polka – the strangely genre-focused subsidiary of Santa Barbara’s absurdly eclectic Headless Household – have a special guest for their third annual “Növemberfest.” Kalinka, another confusing cultural concoction that favors klezmer and more, as recently heard in gigs all over town, including, surprisingly, at last month’s Old-Time Fiddler’s Convention, open the show at Muddy Waters. Then it’s p-P, led by journalist/guitarist/songwriter/singer Josef Woodard along with the usual suspects, who caution: “This is not your father’s polka, unless your father likes Jimmy Sturr, Brave Combo, Stravinsky, Zappa, John Zorn, Nino Rota, and modulating waltzes.” WHEN: 8:32pm WHERE: Muddy Waters, 508 E.

Law & Order: Fairy Tale Unit – We’re not sure if Law & Order impresario Dick Wolf – who lives in Montecito – plans on attending, but we’re sure he’d get a good chuckle out of a local production of this kid-friendly spoof of his cops-and-courts TV franchise. The under-an-hour play comes from Jonathan Rand, the Florida playwright whose short works are the most produced in North American high schools, having hit stages more than 6,700 times in all 50 states and in 45 countries. We know little about this undertaking from Santa Barbara Junior High’s theater department, but the parody of the franchise’s original opening

line alone is enough to elicit a smile: “In the fairy tale criminal justice system, the characters from fairy tales and nursery rhymes are represented by two separate yet equally ridiculous groups: the fairy tale police who investigate fairy tale crime, and the fairy tale district attorneys who prosecute the fairy tale offenders. These are their stories.” WHEN: 7pm tonight & tomorrow WHERE: Marjorie Luke Theatre at SB Junior High School, 721 Cota St. COST: call INFO: 963-7751 ext. 107 or www.sbjhs.org

The Finnish conductor/composer took over the reins in London three years ago, serving as artistic advisor for one of the world’s foremost orchestras, known for virtuosity, an extraordinary recording legacy, innovative residencies and an open embrace of new technology.

‘Dream’ goes on – The unofficial Shakespeare festival in town continues, after local outfits offered plays by the Bard via Shakespeare in the Park and Naked Shakes, plus the Globe Theatre’s production of Hamlet last week and National Theatre Live’s screening of Timons of Athens later this week, all out at UCSB, not to mention Lit Moon’s The Tempest at Center Stage downtown, all within the last month. This time it’s SBCC’s Theatre Arts Department, fresh off its wrenchingly Shakespearean tragedy-like production of the modern classic August: Osage County from its professional division, bringing A Midsummer Night’s Dream to the intimate Jurkowitz Theatre on campus. Michael Gros directs a cast of talented student and community actors in one of the Bard’s most popular and delightful romantic comedies, replete with mistaken identities, lovers’ quarrels and the ferociously funny

play-within-a-play. WHEN: 7:30pm Wednesday-Saturday, Nov. 14-Dec. 1, plus 2pm Sun, Nov. 19 and Sat., Dec. 1 (NOTE: No shows Thanksgiving weekend, Nov. 21-25) WHERE: SBCC’s West Campus, 800 block of Cliff Drive COST: $16 general, $13 seniors, $8 students INFO: 965-5935 or www.theatregroupsbcc.com

Into the Woods – Boulder-born siblings Chris and Oliver Wood return to SOhO, bringing the super solid musicianship and inimitable inventiveness befitting a brotherly duo. Chris, of course, is the founding bassist of the brilliant genre-busting “avant-groove” American jazz trio Medeski Martin & Wood, the outfit where he’s come up with such unusual approaches as using a drumstick as a slide near the bridge of the bass to produce a high-pitched, warbling sound, similar to a theremin, or inserting a sheet of paper behind and between the strings to imitate a snare drum. Oliver, for his part, played second guitar with Tinsley Ellis before forming King Johnson, and is an innovative guitarist in his

own right. The boys are back in town in a single headlining gig on an off-date from their current west coast tour opening for Steve Winwood, and this folk-jazz-soul show is one of those concerts that you’ll kick yourself if you miss it.

Jeff Mills, Michael Morgan and Jenna Scanlon bring to life episodes of Sherlock Holmes, The Fat Man and Gunsmoke, complete with live sound effects from Irwin Appel, who does double duty as one of the actors, too.

Chris Silva and Ashley Woods Hollister, the curators of “The New Oceanscapes,” expect the

James’ jazz-lite – It’s not only jazz purists who object to the jazz moniker when it comes to Boney James; the saxist himself isn’t a big fan of the term. While eight of his dozen CDs have reached No. 1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz charts (selling more than three million copies in all), he’s also won a Soul Train Award and one from the NAACP for his genre-crossing music that veers into pop, R&B and soul. His newest CD, Contact, was written, arranged and produced by James, and features contributions from Heather Headley, ex-Destiny’s Child singer Le Toya Luckett and R&B superstars Mario & Donnell Jones. It’s sort of full circle for thrice Grammy-nominated James, who began his career in the 1980s as a touring sideman for the Isley Brothers, Randy Crawford and Teena Marie before breaking out as a solo act 20 years ago.

More Shakespeare – The Bard’s Timons of Athens screens in hi-def via satellite by way of London, where the National Theatre’s recording of the highly praised production originated earlier this season. Simon Russell Beale takes the title role in the strange fable of consumption, debt and ruin, directed by the lauded and nearly legendary Brit Nicholas

Hytner. A wealthy friend to the rich and powerful and an ostentatious host, Timon of Athens is surrounded by freeloaders and sycophants. After overspending his resources, he reassures his loyal steward that all will be well. When he calls upon his associates, instead of offering help, they hang him out to dry. Both The New Yorker and the U.K. Guardian called the show “exhilarating,” while Britain’s Daily Telegraph termed it a “bold, incisive revival… an urgent play for today.” WHEN: 7:30pm WHERE: UCSB’s Campbell Hall COST: $18 general, $10 students INFO: 893-3535 or www.ArtsAndLectures.UCSB.edu

Tough love for kids – Why do some children do well while others fail? According to Paul Tough, author of the new book, How Children Succeed, standardized test scores and IQ have little to do with predicting success. Neither does packing as much information as possible into their brains via typical education and studying. Instead, it has more to do with character, meaning such skills as grit, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism and confidence. In his book from which tonight’s free talk at UCSB is based, the journalist draws on groundbreaking research in neuroscience, economics and psychology, as well as portraits of children who’ve pulled themselves back from the brink of failure, to illuminate the enduring power of character.

Tough, who has written acclaimed stories about character and childhood in The New York Times Magazine and The New Yorker and whose work has also appeared in Slate, GQ, Esquire, and Harper’s, contends that character is not an innate skill, nor something we receive because of good luck or good genes. Rather, it is molded by the environment in which we grow up. Books will be available for purchase at the event, and a book signing will follow the talk.

15 – 22 November 2012 MONTECITO JOURNAL 45The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it – Ernest Hemingway

ENTERTAINMENT (Continued from page 39)and oboist Adelle Rodkey play-ing Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera’s Duo, Op. 13. Next up is Reversals: featuring three poems by Santa Barbara resident David Krieger, founder of the Nuclear Peace Foundation. The pieces are titled “The Good Name of War,” “What is Holy,” and “A Day Like Any Other Day” (the last title being a quote from Rosa Parks, civil rights pioneer). Guitarist Thomas Heck, who composed the music, will accompany soprano Carol Ann Manzi, reprising their role recording the works. Pianist Aaron Wilks will conclude the program with two strikingly contrasting European compositions: Maurice Ravel’s Ondine and Alexander Scriabin’s Sonata No. 7. The concert takes place in SBMC’s home venue, the Faulkner Gallery at the Downtown Public Library, 40 East Anapamu Street. Info at 687-5537 or www.sbmusicclub.org.

Pop-pourriThe credits list for the members

of the Phantom Blues Band are way too long to list here, but suffice it to say that the guys have worked with everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Smokey Robinson, Ringo Starr to the Rolling Stones, Joe Cocker to Crosby Stills & Nash, Rickie Lee Jones to Bette Midler and Etta James to Elton John, plus a whole host of bluesmen including B.B. King, Dr. John, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Taj Mahal. It was the latter musician who instigated the

creation of the band several years ago when he needed a new group to back him up. Since then, Phantom Blues has recorded three albums on its own, and gets together to play live every once in a while just for fun. Luckily for us, that happens this Saturday night at the next Santa Barbara Blues Society show at Carrillo Recreation Center. Don’t forget the dance shoes…

There are concerts at SOhO nearly every night of the year, but admission is free generally only one night a year. That’s the day before Thanksgiving, when the Hansens, which has owned the upstairs restaurant and music club since the mid-1990s, invite fam-ily members and friends onto the stage to sing traditional songs, origi-nals or just play along in this early evening kickoff to the holiday sea-son. Longtime patrons, newcomers to town and Turkey Day orphans of all stripes are welcome. The music begins

at 6pm. Call 962-7776 or visit www.sohosb.com.

Focus on FilmThe Invisible War, a documentary

that investigates the epidemic of rape within the U.S. military, delves into one of the country’s most horrifying yet still somehow best-kept secrets. The film examines the extent of the problem, which is so prevalent that a female soldier in combat zones is more likely to be raped by a fel-low soldier than killed by enemy fire. The 2012 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award winner has its Santa Barbara premiere Thursday night at UCSB’s Pollock Theater, where pro-ducer Amy Ziering – the Emmy-nominated and award-winning pro-ducer of Outrage, The Memory Thief, Derrida and Taylor’s Campaign – will answer questions after the screening,

followed by a reception. Tickets are free. Info and reservations at www.carseywolf.ucsb.edu/events/film-screening-invisible-war...

Santa Barbara International Film Festival has announced its first hon-oree of the 2013 festival: Ben Affleck – who directed, produced and stars as a daring and determined CIA agent in the thriller Argo – will receive the Modern Master Award, the festival’s highest honor, on January 26. The film is based on the true story of six U.S. embassy employees who escaped Iran after the infamous hostage crisis in the late 1970s. The terrifically taut and understated Argo, while fudging a few of the facts and amping up the suspense for Hollywood, is a remark-ably affecting film that Oscarologists are already calling the movie to beat at the Academy Awards. •MJ
