The Election Results
T
here is no need to recount (please excuse the term) what happened in the
election that just passed. The U.S. voting public decided to go in a certain
direction, or at least voted to continue on the same path it has been on for
the previous four years. Closer to home, voter approval for higher taxes and
more Democrat representatives have efectively turned California into a one-
party state. Good luck with all that.
At home, the most important issues facing us were twofold: whether to
expand the Montecito Fire Protection District Board of Directors from three
members to five, and who to place on that new expanded board. By a large
margin (approximately 62% versus 38%), Montecito residents voted for a five-
person board, which is a good thing. Montecito voters chose as their new board
members John Abe Powell, Susan Keller, and Gene Sinser, all of whom
were endorsed by this paper. Theyll join longtime board member Roy Jensen,
who was re-elected, and another longtime board member, John Venable.
Congratulations to all, as the voting was close and the campaign was spirited.
The Military Ball
The elections have held sway over our concerns for the past few weeks and
weve been so absorbed in the various campaigns that weve given short shrift
to some equally important upcoming events: for example, the Seventeenth
Annual Military Ball of Santa Barbara, being held this Veterans Day Saturday at
Fess Parkers Doubletree Resort. Its a military dress or black-tie optional event,
inspired by Belgian-born All-American patriot, the late Pierre Claeyssens. This
years keynote speaker is retired Air Force Colonel John Fer, who spent six
years in North Vietnam as a prisoner of war at the now infamous Hanoi Hilton.
Also on board will be two recipients of The Greatest Generation Award 2012,
Sergeant Major Robert Forties and U.S. Army 101
st
Airborne NCO Arthur
Petersen. Its not too late find a seat at what is always a moving and enjoyable
event. Please call 805-969-0695 or email rsvp@pierreclaeyssensveteransmuse-
um.com if youd like to attend. For other more family-oriented events, please
see the Veterans Weekend ad on page 19 of this issue.
The Drowsy Chaperone
Santa Barbara High Schools drama department, under the expert guidance of
Otto Layman, is offering up another of its exceptional shows, beginning this week-
end. The musical, The Drowsy Chaperone, is a 2006 Broadway show that was nomi-
nated for 13 Tony Awards (winning five), including for best original score and best
book. The show takes place during the Roaring Twenties and comes replete with
a full orchestra made up mostly of SBCC and SBHS student musicians. If youve
enjoyed such shows as Anything Goes, Kiss Me Kate, or even the more recent Cheri
Steinkellner original production of Hello My Baby! that premiered at the Lobero
earlier this year, youll no doubt find additional joy in The Drowsy Chaperone.
Filled as it seems to be (I only know this secondhand; Ill be attending this
weekend) with big production numbers, dance routines from the twenties
(Charleston, foxtrots, tangos), silly puns, and what theyre calling over-the-top
stock musical theatre stereotypes, it sounds like a lot of fun. Mr. Layman and
company can always be counted on to deliver fully professional productions with
whatever they choose to perform. The shows stars include, as SBHS productions
frequently do, many Montecito born-and-bred singing and dancing actors.
Opening night is Friday, November 9, at 7 pm, and other dates include Saturday,
November 10, and Thursday through Saturday November 15 to the 17, all at 7
pm. Sunday, November 18 features a 2 pm matinee. For more information, please
go to www.sbhstheatre.com and look for The Drowsy Chaperone home page. You
can also call 888-979-3667 for tickets ($10 for many, $5 for seniors and students,
and there are apparently some $25 reserved seats available too).
One More Thing
Montecito Union, Santa Barbara Middle School, and SBHS grad Alexandra
Patterson has joined a small group of students from the Savannah College of
Art & Design who plan to travel to Thailand to produce a documentary on the
fast-disappearing elephant population there. Called The Elephant In The Room,
Alexandra is looking for donations to help finance this endeavor. You can assist
her by logging on to www.wepay.com/donations/the-elephant-in-the-room, or
by dropping in to Heres The Scoop gelato shop at 1187 Coast Village Road, where
parents Ellie and Bob Patterson will be pleased to record your donation. MJ

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

S
uperstorm Sandy, which wreaked
havoc on the Eastern seaboard
last week, had unexpected
repercussions for Andrew Firestone.
The ubiquitous Santa Barbara char-
ity auctioneer and emcee has been
rigorously training for the past few
months to be in tip top condition for
the New York City Marathon and
flew to Manhattan last Thursday
after being told the 42-year-old event,
which attracts 50,000 runners from
around the world, was going ahead as
planned despite the carnage and dev-
astation caused by the flooding and 70
mile per hour plus winds.
But on Friday, just 40 hours before
the 26.2-mile race starting in Staten
Island and ending in Central Park
was to take place, mayor Michael
Bloomberg caved into pressure from
residents and officials alike, canceling
Andrew Firestone at what would have been the
finish line for the New York Marathon in Central
Park (photo credit: Ivana Firestone)

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Health First
I
dont want better cell phone
coverage, nor do I want to risk the
health of my family for Verizon.
Id expect our elected ofcials to take
the time to review the safety studies
already completed in Europe and
come up with an educated plan that
puts the health of our community
frst. Im shocked that ofcials have
let this get so far that a hazardous 60-
foot Verizon tower in the middle of the
upper village is even a consideration
(even if it is disguised as a tree).
Kathleen Sain
Montecito
Its A Wonderful
Country
As many of you may know, or have
surmised, I am very passionate about
my opinions regarding the outcome
and the effect this election will have
on the future of our country. I know a
lot of you are passionate as well, and
your passion may not favor the same
candidates and issues. I have a hard
time understanding how that could be
as I know you are intelligent thinking
people and I cannot understand how
anyone with a brain and a bit of com-
mon sense would fail to see things the
way I do.
In many other countries in the
world that are lucky enough to have
some semblance of democracy, the
level and depth of passion evident
in tomorrows contest would result
in violence and death during the
election campaign. In the USA, we
may stop talking to each other for
a while until election day, but we
remain civil and our friendships are
renewed after the supporters of the
loser have a few days to salve their
wounds.
We accept the outcome of our elec-
tions as expressing the will of the
people and hope and pray that the
country will move in the right direc-
tion under the leadership of whom-
ever is elected. We continue to love
our country, our neighbors and our
friends (and even our misguided rel-
atives). Regardless of the elections
results, we do our best to get back to
work and to live good, peaceful and
productive lives and to try to leave
this world a better place than it was
when we were fortunate enough to
be born into it.
Many people have died over the
years to enshrine and protect our right
to settle our differences peacefully
at the ballot box rather than on the
battlefield. I am so grateful for their
sacrifice and for the great honor and
privilege of having the right to vote.
We live in wonderful and blessed
country!
Tariq Kadri
Montecito
We need to Stop
Verizon and AT&T
I dont want better cell coverage!
Nobody does! We moved here to get
away from all of that kind of pollu-
tion...
It seems off that a community so
firmly opposed to street lights, busi-
ness signs and Target... would some-
how be okay with a giant cell phone
tower right in the middle of the vil-
lage, giving us all cancer!
A faux tree of cellular antennae must
be stopped. If we cant stop them,
then we must not have more than two
cell carriers on the pole now and in
the future, and the number of anten-
nae needs to be significantly fewer
in number than originally proposed.
After all, this isnt Ortega Ridge Road!
I hate thinking about this alternative,
how is it that our community is being
subject to this?
It is terrible that they could get
away with putting a tower in our
community... Why would a property
owner even rent them the space forc-
ing us to have to fight this ridiculous
fight?
Lets stop this before it is too late.

Voted On Principle
...We can be quite confident that a
vote for the Libertarian Party candi-
date for president is surely a wasted
vote J.B. (MJ # 18/44, p. 9)
Well, J.B., anybody even half-savvy
knows California will end up electing
Obama, so whats the point of your
voting for or endorsing Mr. Romney?
Do you think any influence the MJ
has goes into another area or state?
Ive never cast a vote to waste one
and never will. I ended up voting on
principle and wont be swayed by
anyone elses opinion. As a matter of
fact, what I continue to read in vari-
ous papers makes me begin to ques-
tion the freedom of press laws, a bully
pulpit in another form.
On a lighter note, as far as our
unmentionable vice-president, if

(Editors note: You are certainly correct
about Mr. Obama winning California, but
that doesnt mean we shouldnt express
our opposite opinion. But, youve got a
point, it is certainly a wasted vote.
J.B.)
Vote For Sanity
In just 14 months, Americans will
be required to prove they have fed-
erally qualified health insurance
or face an ObamaCare tax of $695 to
$2,085. That is unless you are in pris-
on, below the poverty line, or are an
undocumented immigrant, according
to the anti-tax group Americans for
Tax Reform.
When added together, those three
groups total up to one-sixth of the
nations population of 314 million:
218,929 are in federal prisons, 12 mil-
lion are here illegally and 42 million
are below the poverty line and eligible
for welfare, though some fit into all
three categories, according to federal
reports.
When ObamaCare was proposed,
its proponents said it was necessary
because there were 40 million people
uninsured. Yet, ObamaCare exempts
54 million people. These are the peo-
ple (and more) who the supporters
of ObamaCare said was the single
most important reason ObamaCare
was needed.
We now live in an America where
it is acceptable to tax people for
a healthcare program, the existence
of which is rendered unnecessary
by the terms of the program itself,
a program which inserts govern-
ment between patient and doctor
and creates 159 new bureaucracies,
many of which are set up to fix the
problems ObamaCare will cause, a
program that will damage the larg-
est existing government healthcare
program and leave it crippled to
under-serve the people who have
spent their lives being taxed for the
benefits ObamaCare is taking away
from them, a program that will add
another trillion dollars to the debt
over the next ten years, at the least,
and a program that is the largest tax
increase in history. Could the level
and scope of mismanagement be any
more appalling?
We have fallen down a rabbit hole
and the only way we are going to get
out of it is to have voted for sanity on
November 6.

Brush Fire in Montecito
Village Beat
by Kelly Mahan

O
n Tuesday, November 6 at
noon, a brush fre broke out
in Montecitos foothills in
the area of the Cold Spring Trail. A
mandatory evacuation was held for
areas north of Mountain Drive, East of
Cold Spring and west of Park Lane.
Originally thought to be five acres
large, later reports downgraded the
brush fire, the cause of which is still
under investigation. Three hikers
were rescued about half a mile from
the fire, according to reports. The fire
was in US Forest Service jurisdiction,
with Unified Command established
between Montecito Fire, the Forest
Service, and Santa Barbara County.
Other agencies included Carpinteria/
Summerland Fire, Santa Barbara City
Fire, Cal FIRE, Vandenberg AFB, Santa
Barbara County Sheriff Department,
Santa Barbara City Police and
California Highway Patrol. Because of
the steep terrain, two air tankers were
dispatched immediately to douse the
flames, which could be seen from sev-
eral Montecito neighborhoods. Five
helicopters were also on the scene,
with 16 engines, two dozers, two
water tenders and two hand crews,
according to MFPDs Geri Ventura.
As of press time, the fire was slow
moving and under control, as the
winds in the area were almost non-
existent, said Santa Barbara County
Fire Department Captain Dave
Sadecki. We will have more on this
fire in next weeks issue.

Beautification Day
2012
Hundreds turned out at the Upper
Village Green on Saturday, November
3rd for Montecito Associations
Beautification Day. The sun was shin-
ing as local kids and adults donned
chocolate brown Beautification t-shirts

Table Of Life
I
t was a frst at Pacifca Graduate
Institute Lambert Road Campus
when it hosted the Foodbank
of Santa Barbara County, helping it
celebrate 30 years of trying to ensure
that everyone in our community has
enough to eat. This venue was once
home to the Chumash and then in the
20
th
century, Max Fleischmann (yeast
king) built his estate, Edgewood
Ranch. Some of the original buildings
are still here on the 12-acre campus.
Co-chairs Susan Bridges and
Natalie Orfalea arranged a splendid,
close to nature event. About 150 folks
gathered in a grassy area for Core wine,
donated by the Corey family in Old
Town Orcutt, and tapas prepared by
Rincon Catering on grills right there.
The silent auction included a painting
by Tom Mielko, commissioned by the
Foodbank especially for the occasion,
titled Picnic Rendezvous.
We then walked across the road to
one of the buildings for a presenta-
tion and video. Foodbank CEO Eric
Talkin loved that this place with a
working garden is nestled in a place
of learning. Last year we gave eleven
and a half million pounds of food, half
which was fresh produce. In com-
parison, the first year Foodbank dis-
tributed 82,000 pounds. The food goes
out through Foodbanks distribution
and those of 290 local non-profits.
Foodbank now provides some kind
of service to one out of four people in
our communities.
Foodbank now has a Feed the
Future Program, where children are
educated. There are kids farmers
markets in 22 locations, and it is teach-
ing cooking from scratch with fresh
ingredients. Premier sponsor Leslie
Ridley-Tree remembered when they
needed a kitchen on Haley Street at
Casa Esperanza so I started giving
kitchens. Board president George
Thurlow told us that the gala goal was
$300,000 with $170,000 already given.

Our Small, but Strong Family Tree
Growing up I always wanted a sibling, a little
brother or sister to boss around. My dad was
a 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 up
her 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 egis 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.
Call today and well help you understand
what memory loss is and how your parent
can thrive and enjoy life at egis.

donor added $10,000 to the total.
Lunch was served on an upper
lawn under umbrella tables centered
with clay pots full of a variety of
edible plants. Honorees were board
president Tom Parker and Susan of
the Hutton Parker Foundation and
president and CEO Ron Gallo of
the Santa Barbara Foundation with
Chuck and Stephanie Slosser as reps
also. Both foundations have support-
ed the Foodbanks work for the last
30 years.
Also lauded and introduced was
Marshall Chrostowski, the land
manager for both Pacific Graduate
Institutes campuses. Since 1989, he
has renovated the long abandoned
grounds and orchards off Lambert
Road turning it into todays para-
dise. Many people dont realize that
Pacificas garden produce is for sale.
Students and staff are about half of
their regular customers. You can check
out the gardens website (Pacifica.
edu/The_Garden_Order_Form.aspx)
each week and order in advance. It
can even be delivered. Excess goes to
the Foodbank, of course. Marshall sent
all the guests home with a large bag of
goodies from the garden. Jungians
say you feed the soul; Im saying
we need to feed the body, Marshall
explained. I say, Eat fresh food, drink
good wine and be merry. Cheers!

Celebrating 20 Years
The CALM (Child Abuse Listening
Mediation) Honorary Chairpersons
Mary Ellen Trainor Zemeckis and
Tab Hunter invited everyone to help
them celebrate the 20
th
anniversary
of the CALM Antique and Vintage
Show at the rotunda of Earl Warren
Showgrounds the first ever night-
time opening. It was to especially
honor April Thede, who not only has
been a CALM member for 40 years,
but also was the founder and volun-
teer manager of the CALM Antique
Show for all its 20 years. Obviously it
is her passion as well.
As the crowd arrived, they could sip
a glass of wine and eat tasty canaps
while having a preview of the 80-ven-
dor show that would be open all
weekend. The show is also vetted, so
if something comes in that is not up
to the standards, the committee has it
removed. Executive director Cecilia
Rodriguez told me, April doesnt
just do one show a year. There are
three and this is either number sixty or
sixty-one. There was some confusion
because one year, due to one of our
fires, Earl Warren was taken over and
there was no show.
During the brief program April
addressed the audience with, Thank
the Academy for this award. Ive
always wanted to say that. She also
had a banner draped across her that
said, The Boss, which went with
her tiara. But this evenings event was
chaired by Jean Callanan, Charlene
Heinz and Lynn Wells. Also Carolyn
Gillio, who is the chair of the March
16, 2013 CALM authors luncheon that
draws around 500 folks.
Another way to contribute to CALM
is to adopt a family for the holiday gift-
giving program. You would be matched
with a family in need and can shop for

no Trail Untried
For those who will inherit my remains,
expect no candle that hasnt been burned,
no book not frayed, no furniture not
lounged upon, no shelf uncovered with
treasures, and no clothes that havent been
danced in or sweated in. Life is like soda
pop. Enjoy it before the fizz goes flat
Maxi Decker aka Maxwell Dickinson.
Maxi held court at Tecolote Book
Store to welcome friends and sign
copies of her latest book, No Trail
Untried. We all drank her specialty
drink Sin City Knockout with Kahlua
and vodka served up by daughter
Whitney Ingersoll.
This is a book of tales and trails Maxi
has blazed around the world. She
began her horsey career in Tennessee
where she had coveted over 60 blue
ribbons in pony classes before she was
nine years old. Then she moved west.
As the book cover says, Spurred on
by an intense urge to explore every
unmapped turn, Maxi carries the
reader from below sea level to above
the timberline, building suspense by
foot-fall or hoof-fall, conquering Trails
Never Tried.
Maxi has lived in Montecito for
many years. My most fun horse mem-
ory with her was when she and I took
her miniature horse Derby to Casa
Dorinda for an Easter visit. Derby was
decked out in an Easter bonnet and
marched right into the elevator to the
second floor convalescent ward. You
should have seen the patients eyes
as we exited and went down the hall.
In the first room, we visited Derby
helped himself to his favorite food,
roses. The lady in bed laughed and
said, Let him have them, so we did.
Derby was a featured celebrity in my
column.
This is Maxis sixth book and she
also runs a writers group weekly in
her home. This book is sure to be a
good read. Enjoy! MJ

It was quite a blow, Andrew told
me from New York. We had waited
until the marathon had initially been
given the go ahead last Wednesday
and flew in the following day, but
everything changed very, very quick-
ly.
However, I do intend to take part
next year.
For Andrew, a 37-year-old
Montecito-based financial executive
who garnered national fame when
he was the star of ABCs The Bachelor
a decade ago, it would have been his
third marathon, having participated
in last years Santa Barbara race and,
prior to that, San Francisco, where he
used to live.
But New York would have been the
pinnacle, he admits.
Ive been training hard for the past
three months with friends and train-
ers, Rusty Snow and Mike Swan,
both world-class runners. I did three
to four road runs a week, starting at
around five miles and increasing it to
twenty-two miles. It really was testing
the boundaries of my abilities.

Crazy for Smart Phones
W
hile growing up in
Nebraska, I didnt dream it
would one day be possible
to delete emails and post to Facebook
while my husband drove our pooches
and me to the beach.
Until just three weeks ago, I won-
dered why Id even want to be so
obsessively connected. But I con-
fess Ive joined the hordes of zom-
bies whore madly infatuated with
mobile connectivity.
My insanity was a long time in the
making and involved a hundred or
so marital discussions. The arguing
began in 2007 when the first iPhone
came on the market. My husband,
being an aficionado of all new tech
goodies, wanted to get on the smart
phone track then, but we still had
a contract with the wrong mobile
provider ya-da, ya-da not a great
financial idea to switch horses in
midstream.
Besides at that time we had year-
old flip phones that were excellent in
many ways. They had terrific sound
quality and were so easy to operate
I could make a call with one hand
while keeping the other on the wheel
and my eyes on the road. Using a
handheld cell phone while driving
was still legal in California in those
ancient days.
Months passed, and with each
generation of new smart phones
my techie husband would make the
case for getting our mobile-phone
butts out of the Dark Ages and into
21
st
Century reality. Over a billion
people worldwide had taken the
plunge into a lifestyle where it was
possible to be connected 24x7, no
matter where one was or what one
was doing.
It escaped me why it was so appeal-
ing to be on the Internet all the time.
It seemed just crazy, mind numbing,
whacky, insane, and stupid, stupid,
stupid.
I said exactly that many times, but
my husbands not much swayed by
emotional arguments. He grew up in
the icy wasteland of Qubec where
the slightest show of emotion can
cause parts of ones frostbitten face
to fall off.
Of course, beyond the first year of
marriage one does not win arguments
by foot stomping alone. One must
remember ones spouse has inherited
his fathers propensity toward pinch-
ing pennies.
Whenever the smart phone subject
came up, I calmly asked, What will
our data plan cost once we get smart
phones?
Suddenly my thrifty husband
would decide our ancient flip phones
were gems to be cherished for as long
as we both should live.
Nevertheless, he kept up on the
new generations of smart phones.
Via his research, I learned some
users loved the BlackBerry, which
seemed pleasantly fruity to me. And
others liked the Android a con-
nected cell phone and a character in
a sci-fi novel. My husband liked the
iPhone best, although I never asked
why.
It wasnt my job to know all the
details of mobile devices. My task
was to blindly argue against all smart
phones as the technology seasons
came and went.
Our old flip phones continued
to work well even as they became
strange relics of a bygone era. It
seemed there were grown men
whod been born after we first got
those old phones. I was perversely
proud of this, but I also noticed I
was less and less willing to let any-
one under 30 see me make a call. The
flip phones were as embarrassing as
our ever-more frequent invitations
to join AARP.
However, it wasnt embarrassment
that finally tipped the argument. It
was getting puppies.
It turns out if you have pups you
need to photograph their every mile-
stone.
The new iPhone has a fantastic
camera, my husband said.
We already have cameras, I coun-
tered. But there was a crack in my
voice. I already knew how challeng-
ing it was to share photos with our
conventional cameras. Yes, the world
could to wait to see our endless
puppy shots, but when one is a new
parent, one gets a little overly exuber-
ant.
Still I dragged my feet. I hated
to put our perfectly functional flip
phones out to pasture. It wasnt until
my husbands took an accidental
header onto the pavement that I
finally accepted the inevitable.
This morning my husband washed
cars and repaired the roof himself to
save money to pay for the data plan
on our new iPhones.
Now were off to the beach with
dogs and these magical mobile devic-
es. On the way there, Ill delete emails
from the AARP. On the way home, Ill
post the new shots of pups running
in the surf.
Crazy? Yes. Happy? Oh, yeah. MJ
A
framed tale is the literary
equivalent of a shopping
bag, a great many unrelated
items stuffed into one container.
Some of the earliest existing framed
tales are the spirited, energetic
ventures gathered in the classic
Sanskrit epics, The Ramayana and
The Mahabarata.
To many of us, a more familiar
framed tale is that fantastic lump
of poetic literature, The Odyssey, the
fabled recounting of Odysseus men
on their way home after their service
in the Trojan wars. As users of the
English language, we are all of us
indebted to yet another framed tale,
a concept and, likely, an idea the
author picked up in Italy. (Were still
not certain where the Italian author
got his inspiration for his framed
tale, but we can see story collections
of this sort popping up in all cultures
and languages.)
The Italian language frame tale
writer was Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-
1375), who inspired the English
language writer Geoffrey Chaucer
(1343-1400), by all accounts the major
writer in English of the Middle Ages,
and by others, including my own
account, one of the two or three icons
of storytelling in English without any
reservation.
Chaucer was a prolific poet, play-
wright, and storyteller. All his work
merits reading for its wit, overt
humor, and far-reaching grasp of
the human condition. His most pop-
ular work, alas unfinished, is the
framed tale account of a group of
pilgrims, traveling by horseback,
from London to the cathedral at
Canterbury, where a number of rel-
ics from the martyred saint, Thomas
Beckett, are enshrined.
One of the pilgrims, Harry Bayley,
owner of The Tabard Inn, suggests
the travelers tell stories to pass the
time on the journey. The teller of the
most satisfying story will be his guest
for a special meal. The assembled
pilgrims agree and The Knight (high-
est in social rank of the entire group)
begins.
The English language has evolved
in logrhythmic progression since
the publication of The Canterbury
Tales. Vocabulary additions such as
bungalow from Hindi, rodeo from
Spanish, kudos from Greek, and zeit-
geist from German are only the gravy
on the roast. Such matters as word
order, verb cases, and pronouns have
morphed with the ease of Microsoft
Word versions, and the Mac operat-
ing system animals.
The language has changed, but
not the human condition. Good as
Chaucer was with language he
squeezed into the first eighteen lines
of The Prologue a virtual history of
English up to that point he was
even more acute a judge of humanity.
We make this observation well before
The Knight has finished telling his
story. By the time were about half
way through The Pardoners Tale,
were certain of it. Now it takes only
a dip into the bawdy sexual hilar-
ity of The Millers Tale, and one of
the best portraits of a woman ever,
The Wife of Baths Tale, we appreci-
ate why John Dryden (16311600),
the dominant writer/critic of The
Reformation, said of Chaucer and
The Canterbury Tales, Here is Gods
plenty.
The individual tales present a
remarkable smorgasbord of personal-
ities, attitudes, and personal agendas.
There is not a weak one in the group.
Although my fondness reaches its
peak with The Wife of Bath, I have a
special place reserved for Chaucers
own appearance as The Poet. Not
long after he has begun relating his
tale, he is given the hook, the host
yelling Namore of this for Goddes
dignitee, and then the show stopper,
Thy drasty [rubbish] rhyme is not
worth a tord.
Two major questions: Can some-
thing nearly seven hundred years
old be understood? And the second,
presupposing the answer to the first,
Is it worth the effort?
The answers to both are a resound-
ing yes. Youll have to work a bit,
but the results are a rewarding look
at character types who have been
passed along to us through the cen-
turies, influencing novelists and dra-
matists everywhere. Some editions of
The Tales such as The Norton Critical
Editions will give you extensive help
in the form of modern renditions,
while Seth Lehrers splendid The Yale
Companion to Chaucer, will make the
individual tales and framework even
more meaningful.
The Canterbury Tales is the bedrock
of storytelling, an icon among the
works of the Western Canon, a neces-
sary source for a serious reader. MJ

Shall Meet?
On Entertainment
by Steven Libowitz
Steven Libowitz has
reported on the arts and
entertainment for more
than 30 years; he has
contributed to Montecito
Journal for over ten
years.
H
al Holbrook might have more
energy than the next three
men put together. Well, if not
energy, then certainly purpose and
passion.
At 87, the Emmy and Tony Award-
winning (and Oscar-nominated)
actor is back out on the road again
performing Mark Twain Tonight, his
highly regarded one-man tribute that
debuted when Ed Sullivan caught
Holbrooks act and booked him for
his variety show way back in 1956.
Even after more than half a century
Holbrook has now played Twain lon-
ger than Samuel Clemens went by that
name he still breathes the fire and
fury of the famed American author/
social satirist, as evidenced by our
scheduled twenty-minute telephone
interview that ended after more than
an hour only because the journalist
had another appointment.
So hes got moxie. Except right then
he was a bit sore.
Were all scarred and bloody from
this terrible election process thats
been attacking us, Holbrook said
right off the bat, sounding like Twain
himself mightve if faced with scores
of political commercials every hour on
TV. Im glad theres only two more
days.
Here are some excerpts from our
talk.
Q. Youve been playing Mark Twain on
stage for more than fifty years. Why do
you keep coming back to the role?
A. (Laughs heartily). Why do you
get up in the morning? I make a liv-
ing with it. But most of all, the reason
I still keep going is because the man
is just too damn fascinating to give
up. The accuracy of his vision, his
judgments, about what was and still
is going on in our country is just stun-
ning. Anybody who really involves
himself with Mark Twain would agree
no matter whether its Huckleberry
Finn and his portrait of white racism
down along the river or his observa-
tions about the behavior of our early
corporations in the remarkable trans-
formation from agrarian to industrial
society, his take has been incredibly
true
But what keeps it fresh for you?
Turn on the TV. Pick up the newspa-
per. Look around at whats going on!
The man said stuff I have showing up
in the media now. The political scene,
the election contests, journalism. No
matter what it was, Wall Street, or
what have you, everything he said
sounds like something in the paper
this morning. I dont update the mate-
rial. I dont have to.
When I first started doing Twain, I
was terribly intimidated. I wanted to
get everything right. I didnt want to
cheat. I didnt want to make anything
up. You cant do it anyway. The few
who have tried to write like him have
been a joke. So its been a hard fast
rule for me to maintain accuracy in the
quotes and as it turns out, its one
of the strongest effects of the show,
because its his words. The audience
updates it for me. That can have a
very powerful effect
Heres a paragraph from The Gilded
Age written in the late 1870s about lob-
byists in Washington. This is a quote,
mind you, word for word! These
lobbyists are called our invisible gov-
ernment in Washington, D.C. with
headquarters on Wall Street. The cor-
porations have to be shielded and
protected in the Congress and this
requires vast sums of money to keep
their political party in power. And
they understand that the members of
Congress did not get elected to serve
their country for nothing The price
on U.S. Senators has gone up so high
its distorted the whole market. You
cant get a thing done in Washington
these days without cash on delivery.
Wow.
Wow, indeed. Its right down the
alley. We citizens here are trying to
vote for a president, but the real power
the real power! in Washington
is with the lobbyists that represent
everything from the pharmaceutical
companies to the oil companies to
Wall Street. Everyone and everything
is controlled by the lobbyists. You
sound crazy saying these kinds of
things, but its true. So when Twain
said, The great gullible public cheers
and shouts and stomps its approv-
al when a politician has just said
something they dont understand,
thats true today. We are a bunch of
poorly informed citizens, because we
dont listen to anybody elses opinion.
Thats true all across the country, and
I know, because Ive been travelling
for seventy years and its terrible right
now
Im going on about politics because
the election is near, but the Mark
Twain show isnt all serious. Maybe
more so today, but a great deal of it is
funny. He was a funny man. He can
go on like I am, but then he could say,
You just have to remember that man
was made at the end of the weeks
work, when God was tired.
You mentioned touring. Does the show
play as well in small towns in Indiana
and Texas as it does in California and
New York?
Absolutely. Its a surprise to me. But
its been true all along [Anyway],
New York audiences think theyre
smart, but theyre not the best. They
start out with that Weve seen every-
thing attitude, which is lousy. Its
better when people come in willing
to think, respond and laugh. I played
Yuma, Arizona, this fall. Im think-
ing, Holy mackerel, its going to be a
disaster! These people down there on
Mexican border wont get it all. But I
had one of the best audiences all year.
How has your view of the role evolved
over the decades? What do you know
about Twain or do differently now than
you did, say, in 1970?
The obvious answer is that there
certainly has been an enrichment pro-
cess. Its not like this is a tired, old
show I just reel out to make a dollar.
This show gets me out of bed in the
morning. I mean it. The night before
a show, I turn the TV on, and watch
the TV news which is the biggest
joke going and in half an hour Im so
enraged at the mendacity and the cute
little performances that these charac-
ters who call themselves news people
have assumed now, like theyre movie
stars, all googly eyes at the camera.
I cant stand it anymore. All I want
them to do is shut up and give me the
news. Period. I want news. Facts. F-a-
c-t-s. So I watch as long as I can stand
it, then I turn it off and cant wait to
get on the stage the next day to do
Mark Twain.
At eighty-seven, your career isnt slow-
ing down at all. Is there such a thing as
retirement for you?
No! Why the hell would I do that?
Id probably slit my throat if I had to
quit. I dont play golf. I dont want
to I am doing a lot of writing. Im
finishing the first pass through my
second book; Ive got over eight hun-
dred pages. I have to go back and read
it and find out what its all about. So I
dont have time to retire.

are pivotal for the annual operating
budget of the school. Principal Karen
Regan explains, We are committed
to keeping tuition reasonable even
in these economic times; no student
is turned away due to fnancial
difculties or religious afliation.
Approximately ffty percent of the
students receive fnancial aid and we
keep our overhead very low, so the
fundraiser is important to maintain
the high quality of education at OLMC
School.
Chairs for the event are Cristina
Ricci, Rhonda Henderson and Karen
Graf, and all are parents of kids who
have been at the school for eight
years. Combining their profession-
ally diverse backgrounds, they have
planned a wonderful evening for all
ages, with live auction items including
a 7-week-old white lab AKC puppy,
trips to Hawaii and a private bus
winery tour. Local newscaster John
Palminteri will preside over the auc-
tion. The event is truly a school spon-
sored event with every school family
committed to volunteer five or more
hours for the event, and there are over
30 school parents on the auction com-
mittee with generous donations of
silent and live auction items from the
schools families. The Teachers Wish
List for the event is to upgrade the
Mac computers to interface with the
iPads for teaching.
The Chairs inform, Having been
with Our Lady of Mount Carmel
School for nine years, all three of
us feel very strongly about giving
back to the school. Chairing the larg-
est fundraiser for the school is our
way of doing so. Its the very least
we can do for what the school has
given our children these past nine
years a wonderful education on
par with more expensive private
schools and sound Catholic values,
both of which are so fundamentally
important to empowering the future
generation to make the right deci-
sions. Our annual auction also fosters
a strong sense of community that
we so appreciate about the school.
School family volunteers collectively
come together with various talents to
create this successful event. We are
focused on a common goal to make
this years Rhinestone Roundup auc-
tion the most successful fundraiser
in the schools history and raise over
$175,000.
The event committee would like to
acknowledge their Diamond Sponsor
MarBorg Industries, as well as
their Platinum Sponsors Classic

estmont professors Jef
Schloss and Tremper
Longman III will explore
a range of issues in the relationship
between Genesis and science in a free
public lecture, Thursday, November
8, from 5:30-7 pm at University
Club, 1332 Santa Barbara Street.
Tickets are not needed, although the
limited seating is available on a frst-
come, frst-served basis. For more
information, please call 565-6051.
The lecture, Origins: A Biologist and
a Biblical Scholar Discuss Genesis
and Scientifc Accounts, is part of
Westmont Downtown: Conversations
about Things that Matter, which
is sponsored by the Westmont
Foundation.
Schloss, T.B. Walker professor in the
natural and behavioral sciences and
director of the Center for Faith, Ethics
and the Life Sciences, says although
the relationship between science
and religion has generated promi-
nent debate, there is room for enrich-
ing consonance. Some theists and
atheists assert that we must choose
between evolution and the Christian
faith, he says. Others claim there
is no conflict or even any significant
overlap between the two. Actually,
there may be deep concord yet also
some tensions, depending on the issue
and how we interpret the science and
the Scriptures.
Genesis celebrates God as Creator
of everything, but it does not tell us
how he did it, says Longman, Robert
Gundry professor of biblical studies.
Longman has written dozens of
books, including Science, Creation and
the Bible: Reconciling Rival Theories
of Origins, Making Sense of the Old
Testament: Three Crucial Questions, How
to Read Genesis and The Expanded Bible,
which includes the Old Testament.
He earned a bachelors degree
from Ohio Wesleyan University, a
Master of Divinity from Westminster
Theological Seminary and a Master of
Philosophy and doctorate from Yale
University. He has been teaching at
Westmont since 1998.
Schloss has written and edited sev-
eral major books about the interactions
between evolutionary theory and reli-
gious faith, including The Believing
Primate: Scientific, Philosophical, and
Theological Perspectives on the Origin of
Religion, Evolution and Ethics: Human
Morality in Biological and Religious
Perspective and Altruism and Altruistic
Love: Science, Philosophy, and Religion
in Dialogue. He earned a bache-
lors degree from Wheaton College
and a doctorate from Washington
University. He has been teaching at
Westmont since 1981.
The lecture series is sponsored by the
Westmont Foundation, which hosts
the annual Presidents Breakfast in
Santa Barbara to promote discussion
and consideration of current issues
among local community leaders.

The (Honorary) Graduate
Montecito philanthropist Leslie
Ridley-Tree is looking forward to
June.
That is when she will be able to
don her cap and gown for the annual
graduation ceremony at UCSB, having
just been awarded an honorary degree
by the esteemed institution, only the
50th individual to be so lauded since
the schools 1944 establishment as
a University of California campus,
following in the footsteps of banker
Michael Towbes and Virgil and Betty
Elings.
Leslie, who has given millions of
dollars in endowments for needy stu-
dents over the years and is co-chair of
the Campaign for UCSB, says she feels
the honor she received from chancel-
lor Henry Yang is a great privilege.
For me to have this degree at this
point in my life is so overwhelming,
you cannot imagine. Everything Ive
done in life has been because a door
has opened and there seemed to be a
need, and I walked through it. How
blessed I feel, how joyous I feel.
Leslie, who attended Columbia
University, the University of Madrid
and the University of West Los
Angeles, is also a trustee of the UCSB
Foundation and a regular supporter of
the popular Arts & Lectures series and
the Department of Music.
At the ceremony they put a purple
stole on me. It was like being priested!
But in June I get to walk in the gradu-
ation parade with the chancellor in my
full cap and gown. I cant wait!
Fires of Faith
Carpinteria author Brock Brower
has just written one of his most impres-
sive books yet, Fires of Faith.
The coffee table tome, lavishly illus-
trated with art and photographs from
the time of Martin Luther, Henry VIII
and Bloody Queen Mary on, is sub-
titled, The Inspiring Story Behind the
King James Bible, and has been pub-
lished as a companion to a three-hour
TV documentary that may air on PBS
in due course.
Lee Groberg, an independent pro-
ducer in Washington, knew my agent,
Rich Barber in New York, and asked
me to do the book, says Brock, a
Rhodes Scholar and Harvard Law
School and Oxford University gradu-
ate.
It took me eighteen months to put
together. I knew a lot already. For me
it is about the culture of belief. I loved
writing it.
Brock, 80, a former writer-producer
for ABCs 20/20, has been a frequent
contributor to the New York Times
Magazine, Esquire, Smithsonian maga-
zine, Readers Digest and Harpers, as
well as being a professor of journalism
at Dartmouth College and writer-in-
residence at Princeton University.
This is his tenth book, with others
including Other Loyalties: A Politics of
Personality, and novels Debris and The
Late Great Creature.
He is now working on his memoirs.
Slowly, but surely, he observes.

Sextons Awakening
If the current state of politics moti-
vates Holbrook, it might be safe to say
that the same thing also inspired sing-
er-songwriter Martin Sexton in creat-
ing his current EP to run very fast
and far in the other direction, that is.
The Syracuse, New York-born, Boston
folk scene-schooled singer-songwriter
put out the five-song Fall Like Rain
earlier this year partially to combat
partisanship and create a way to cross
the divide.
Ive really lost my sense of left and
right. I dont believe in red or blue or
any of that anymore, Sexton said over
the telephone late last week, four days
before last Tuesdays election and just
72 hours after Hurricane Sandy hit his
native East Coast. Were all brothers
and sisters. It sounds kind of hippy-
dippy, but its real for me anyway.
Hence, the four new original songs
that speak of our commonalities, our
current economic struggles and shared
goals, share space with a Sexton-ized
cover of Buffalo Springfields 1967
hit For What Its Worth and its
refrain, Time to stop, say Whats
that sound? Everybody look whats
going down. The EP sells for about
the price of a double mocha-choca
latte, as Sexton puts it. And now the
frequent sing-alongs that characterize
Sextons shows reveal themes beyond
the sweet melodies and stories.
Ive been saying for the last couple
of years that were in the new sixties,
Sexton explained. Its time for music
to do its job, to motivate and unify
people again. At my shows, there are
folks from all walks of life. Democrats,
Republicans; old, young; black, white;
gay, straight. And theyre all singing
in three-part harmony without regard
to politics. In that moment, they dont
care about sexual orientation or how
they vote on issues, or whos rich
or poor. Were all unified for that
moment, for this great good of mak-
ing beautiful music together. Every
night is different. But the crowd sings
harmony every time.
Can music really change the world
the way Woodstock and Pete Seeger,
Arlo Guthrie, Bob Dylan and the
Youngbloods are credited with back in
the era of the Vietnam War? In todays
world, one thats more polarized than
ever and linked by Facebook more
than rallies?
I know its possible, Sexton said
Music is a magical force Its really
just about waking up. All Im doing is
something different. I used to be that
guy. I would completely write you
off if you disagreed with me a few
years ago. Id nod and smile and not
listen to you at all. Im trying to lose
that polarization within myself and
in doing so Im learning that I have
a lot in common with everyone. Im
not trying to keep the faith; Id rather
challenge the faith. Whatever faith
I had might be based in bull----. If I
open my mind and get off my immov-
able opinions, I can learn more.
Lest anyone worry that Sexton has
turned exclusively into a protest sing-
er, perish the thought. Hes still revis-
iting his entire catalogue that dates
back to the mid-1990s with such favor-
ite as Diggin Me, Glory Bound
and Freedom of the Road on a solo
tour that stops at SOhO on Sunday
night.
The repertoire has gotten fairly
large over the last decade so I dont
have to repeat songs more than I want
to, Sexton said. But I do view them
like monkey bars. They might be the
same tunes, but theyre in a different
key, or the tempos changed, or Ill go
off into a Zeppelin riff in the middle of
it. That keeps it fun for me I really
dont know what Im going to do until
the moment. Its like working without
a net, or painting myself into a corner
and then finding my way out. It takes
on its own energy.
The experimentation with new
sounds, both for his voice and guitar,
also continues, Sexton said, albeit not
with the manic intensity of his early
years.
My tried and true methods are
stuck with me: percussion on gui-
tar, trumpet/sax-esque solos with my
voice and scatting. But I still do look.
I recall in Santa Barbara years ago
doing Gypsy Woman for about forty-
five minutes, just going off on tan-
gents, trying things out, working the
distortion box. Its like being paid to
play baseball. Its always good fun.
Whats That Sound?
It still aint Austins SXSW, but the
New Noise Music Conference and
Festival, which takes over downtown
this weekend beginning Thursday
night, has certainly showed it has stay-
ing power. For Year 4, New Noise has
booked some 60 bands over the three
evenings (plus a daytime block party
in the Funk Zone on Saturday) at four
club, plus arranged for a couple dozen
music industry veterans, ranging from
record producers to musicians to A&R
guys to new media moguls and many
more, to conduct seminars and panel
discussions at a daylong conference
covering a slew of subjects related to
music. Budding musicians can learn
about licensing, marketing, branding,
touring, new venues, recording stu-
dios and processes, songwriting, itch-
ing and more at Fridays Digital Music
Conference at The Savoy.
Montecito will be well represent-
ed: singer-songwriter Glen Phillips,
film music supervisor Budd Carr and
composer-producer-new media entre-
preneur Luke Ebbin are among the
village residents appearing at the con-
ference, while Montecito musicians
are members of several of the local
Santa Barbara bands.
We caught up with New Music co-
founder/impresario Jeff Theimer to
talk about this years fest, take a look
back and view plans for the future.
Q. Its the fourth year. Taking stock at
this point, is the fest where you hoped it
would be by now?
A. I think so. The key is to do some-
thing different every year. We did
Spearhead at the Arlington, then two
shows at the Bowl (Massive Attack,
Deadmau5), and this year is the block
party in the Funk Zone which really
pushes things forward. Having great
bands that get big after they come
through is also the goal, and weve
had a good track record there. World
domination doesnt happen until the
fifth year.

Youve moved the conference part to The
Savoy, and its only one day this year.
It was two days the first two years.
But last year was only one day, too.
Were still growing in that area, and we
didnt want to compete with ourselves
with the block party on Saturday. So
Friday makes sense for the confer-
ence since its a business thing. As far
as The Savoy, we lost our deal at the
Canary when the hotel was sold, but
the club is a great place to hold the
conference, with the three floors and
the music atmosphere and being right
downtown in the heart of the club
scene is great.
Comparisons to SXSW always come up,
of course, but thats not your goal, right?
Still, while Austin has a truly thriving
local music scene, can the same be said for
Santa Barbara nowadays? Where do the
new bands get to develop?
Thats a good question. Like weve
said since the beginning, SXSW is
the ideal way to explain what were
trying to do for people who have no
idea what this is. Its like a film fes-
tival for music. But thats where the
similarity ends. Theyve been around
for thirty years and have a lot more
venues. There are a lot of great artists
in town, but not a lot of places to play.
Our goal is to keep doing this confer-
ence and festival and make the scene
happen. Whether there is one or not
can be debated, but there are places
like Muddy Waters, which is key
to Santa Barbara music. There were
more venues in the 1990s, but with
electronic music, its a lot easier for
bars and clubs to not book bands. So
we have to work hard to make sure
it doesnt go away. Thats why were
here, to give Santa Barbara a voice
and showcase the town. Well never
be Austin; Santa Barbara is a more
exclusive town. But we can have
something going.
Are you getting the cross-exposure that
festivals are meant to bring, with bands
connecting and maybe working together,
and industry types discovering new art-
ists and new ideas? Has that happened?
I definitely think so. Last year for
example a few things happened out
of the conference. Kevin Lyman, who
started the Warped Tour, whos been
here every year before 2012 hes
only missing this year because the
tour expanded to Europe right now
went out and saw some shows. He
heard Owen Plant from The Sunshine
Brothers and invited him on two
months of Warped Tour on the spot.
He also saw False Puppet the youth
band thats doing really well on their
own and put them in the battle of
the bands and they got to play in
Ventura Warped Tours festival this
year. Bands that do meet and go out

Only In America
1) Only in America, could politi-
cians talk about the greed of the rich
at a $35,000 a plate campaign fund-
raising event.
2) Only in America, could people
claim that the government still dis-
criminates against black Americans
when they have a black President, a
black Attorney General, and roughly
18% of the federal workforce is black
while only 12% of the population is
black.
3) Only in America, could they have
had the two people most responsible
for our tax code, Timothy Geithner,
the head of the Treasury Department
and Charles Rangel who once ran the
Ways and Means Committee, both
turn out to be tax cheats who are in
favor of higher taxes.
4) Only in America, can they have
terrorists kill people in the name of
Allah and have the media primarily
react by fretting that Muslims might
be harmed by the backlash.
5) Only in America, would they
make people who want to legally
become American citizens wait for
years in their home countries and
pay tens of thousands of dollars for
the privilege while we discuss letting
anyone who sneaks into the coun-
try illegally just magically become
American citizens.
6) Only in America, could the
people who believe in balancing the
budget and sticking by the countrys
Constitution be thought of as extrem-
ists.
7) Only in America, could you need
to present a drivers license to cash a
check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
8) Only in America, could people
demand the government investigate
whether oil companies are gouging
the public because the price of gas
went up when the return on equity
invested in a major U.S. oil company
(Marathon Oil) is less than half of a
company making tennis shoes (Nike).
9) Only in America, could the gov-
ernment collect more tax dollars from
the people than any nation in record-
ed history, still spend a Trillion dollars
more than it has per year for total
spending of $7-Million per minute, and
complain that it doesnt have nearly
enough money.
10) Only in America, could the rich
people who pay 86% of all income
taxes be accused of not paying their
fair share by people who dont pay
any income taxes at all.
Observations of a Canadian
A Primer
On Health Care
1) Tort reform: California already has
tort reform. There have been limits on
damages in medical malpractice law-
suits since 1975. Plaintiffs are limited
to receiving $250,000 in non-economic
damages often called pain and suf-
fering. Attorney fees are also limited
to 40% of the first $50,000 in monetary
damages awarded, 33 1/3% of the
next $50,000, 25% of the next $500,000
and 15% of anything over $600,000.
Rules are strict. Expert testimony is
required. There is a statute of limita-
tions. According to the Kaiser Family
Foundation, 889 medical malpractice
claims succeeded in California in 2011.
California has a population of over 37
million people. The number of suc-
cessful lawsuits is small. This number
would be even smaller if there were
comprehensive health care coverage
for everyone. Many lawsuits are filed
because the medical error caused the
plaintiff to require lifelong medical
care that the plaintiff could not afford.
Universal health care would alleviate
this reason for a lawsuit.
2) Catastrophic coverage:
Catastrophic coverage can not be
successfully addressed if we believe
that everyone needs health care. Only
the wealthiest in society can afford to
get sick or injured under catastrophic
healthcare plans, which often pay hos-
pital costs only, and no drugs, office
visits, or preventive care. Annual
deductibles are usually very high,
higher than the majority of people can
afford. That means most of the popu-
lation would be inadequately covered.
Their out-of-pocket costs would bank-
rupt them. That is what happens now.
Health insurance companies state
that catastrophic coverage should
only be for the healthy and the well-
off. But who can predict when they
will not be healthy, or when too much
of their income might be lost? The
monthly premiums may be lower for
catastrophic coverage than more com-
prehensive health insurance but the
out-of-pocket costs are high when the
insurance is used. Deductibles can
be $10,000 per year per person. If the
patient cannot pay the bills, the health
facility and health care professionals
providing care are left without pay-
ment for services rendered.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA)
attempts to address part of the
health insurance coverage problem.
Insurance companies will have to sell
to anyone who can pay the premium
including people being subsidized by
the government. Currently, insurance
companies can deny a person cover-
age if the person is deemed to be too
high a risk. Under the ACA there is
no guarantee that bankruptcies will
not occur. The lowest quality plan,
bronze, will have an actuarial value
of only 60%. The patient will have 40%
to pay if they need healthcare. This
is over and above the premium they
have already paid.
A better solution is to have one
comprehensive health plan and one
risk pool with everyone paying in by
their income level. All these moneys
are co-mingled with current govern-
ment healthcare funds in one health-
care trust fund. Anyone who gets
sick, injured, needs a preventive care
check-up, or chronic disease care gets
the care they need when they need it
by the private healthcare provider of
their choice. If the patient loses his or
her job or cant work during the dura-

tion of the health event the person is
still covered. Patients do not go bank-
rupt due to medical expenses because
all medical care is prepaid. The health
care infrastructure remains solvent as
they are guaranteed payment. This
benefits everyone.
3) Free Market Health Care: There
really is no true free market health-
care or health insurance. In a free
market the sellers are free to sell and
buyers are free to buy or not buy. There
are no regulations. There are no pro-
tections. Businesses fail if they cannot
compete. In healthcare only the very
wealthy would be able to afford care.
But, beware! In a free market your
doctor may not have had to have gone
to medical school or to have a license
to practice medicine. Also, look at all
the infrastructure needed in modern,
high-quality, high-tech medical care:
hospitals, labs, ambulances, doctors,
nurses, vaccines, ECG machines, CT
scanners, treadmills, etc. These are at
the ready 24/7 whether in use or not.
How is the health systems idle time
paid? Competition when selling wid-
gets often lowers cost to consumers. In
health care the opposite is true.
Competition in healthcare increas-
es costs instead of lowering costs. If
a community has the population to
support only a single expensive CT
scanner than having two is a costly
redundancy that will cause the owners
to use the scanner when not needed in
order to pay for the machine and its
operators. When there are too many
doctors for too few patients then doc-
tors may keep up their income by
having the patient come in more fre-
quently than is medically necessary
for optimum care. Both of these sce-
narios are happening now in the USA.
How would Cottage Hospital fare in
a free market system? Who would
keep it funded? Now Cottages opera-
tions are funded by taxpayers. In its
annual report of Spring 2012, Cottage
Health System reported that its patient
admissions were 43.4% Medicare,
15.8% MediCal, 36.2% private insur-
ance, and 4.5% charity or self pay.
Thus, Cottages income is 59.2% from
patients who have care paid directly
from government funds. But, wait,
there is more government funding.
Who are the largest employers in Santa
Barbara County providing health
insurance? UCSB and the County gov-
ernment. Both are taxpayer funded
public employers. Cottage does not
break down how many government
employees with private insurance used
Cottages services. The charity fund-
ing is from tax deductible donation, so
this is money that is indirectly funded
by taxpayers. Except for the deduct-
ibles, co-pays and other out-of-pocket
expenses, Cottages operation survives
mostly on taxpayer funds. In a free
market, Cottage Health System would
either be much smaller to attend only
to those who could afford it locally
or be large enough to bring in people
from all over the nation and world. In
a free market system there would be
no tax deductible charitable donations.
Lets be careful what we wish for. The
unintended consequences of free mar-
ket health care could be hazardous to
our own health.
4) Doctors, Medicare patients, and
adequacy and timeliness of reimburse-
ment. In 2011, there were 4,806,469
Medicare recipients in California and
74% of doctors were accepting new
Medicare patients according to the
Kaiser Family Foundation.
Can a physician survive on Medicare
patients alone? Primary care physi-
cians (PCP) also known as general
practitioners (GPs) tend to receive
lower Medicare reimbursement rates
than do other physician specialties.
There are also different reimburse-
ment rates depending on region.
Despite this, according to an American
College of Physicians (ACP) blog a
PCP can still make a good living see-
ing only Medicare patients even in a
high cost-of-living and low reimburse-
ment region such as Santa Barbara.
According to the ACP blog, a prima-
ry care physician could net $144,000
per year seeing only Medicare
patients. The calculations were as fol-
lows: Reimbursement was calculated
at the national average of $85 per
patient visit. A doctor working full
time works around 50 hours per week.
Potentially the physician could see
3,840 patients per year (16 patients at
a 1/2 hour visit each x 8 hours plus 2
hours for paper work = 10 hours per
day x 5 days per week x 48 weeks per
year). The actual number of patient
visits per year were calculated to be
3,456 because 10% was taken off for
cancelled appointments, doctor vaca-
tions, and other reasons. Thus, the
physicians gross income would be
$293,760 per year. At least $100,000 to
$150,000 has to be taken off for mini-
mal overhead costs. Thus, the net is
$144,000+. A physician can earn more
when he or she does special proce-
dures during the office visit and bills
for these along with the office visit.
A cardiologists practice in California
wanted to transparently show people
how Medicare reimbursed for cer-
tain services in various regions of
California. San Francisco was reim-
bursed the most. Its rate was 30%
higher ($153.34) than the same ser-
vice in Santa Barbara ($118.15). Even
Ventura had a rate 15% higher than
Santa Barbaras. Santa Barbara fell
into the lowest rate because it was
lumped into the rest of California.
Medicare reimbursements are gen-
erally timely. However, according to
the November 8, 2008 issue of the Los
Angeles Times (four years ago) there
was a major snafu when the phy-
sicians in California were required
to use a new universal identification
number provided by the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services
(CMS) and around the same time CMS
changed to a new private claims pro-
cessing contractor for California and
other Western states. The combination
of major changes at the same time
caused confusion and unacceptably
long payment delays.
If Senate Bill 810 (Leno) the
California Universal Health Care Act
were signed into law, physicians in
Santa Barbara would be able to negoti-
ate their rates of reimbursements to be
for the actual cost of care in this higher
cost-of-living area. Written into SB
810 is that reimbursements for claims
must be paid within 30 days of receipt
of the claim or else the trust fund must
pay the health care provider an inter-
est penalty for being late.

(Editors note: Wow. Thanks for all the

Incompetence or
Deceit?
The Benghazi tragedy happened
over a month ago, and yet the
American public has not been told the
truth about the situation.
It has now been revealed that there
were numerous requests by AMB
Stevens and others for added security
before 9/11. It also has been revealed
that Washington, the president and the
state department were notified imme-
diately that Benghazi was under attack
and e-mails showed it was carried out
by Islamic terrorists.
So why the cover up? Why was the
YouTube video used as an excuse for
the Benghazi attack?
Was the Obama Administration try-
ing to paint a fantasy picture that
al Qaeda was defeated and the war
against terrorism was being won?
Never mind that al Qaeda has expand-
ed into 30 countries, especially in
Africa and the war against terror-
ism rages on. Was the you-tube video
used to defect away from the Obama
administrations efforts to negotiate
for the recapture of U.S. weapons
given to the Libyan rebels? Were these
weapons later being smuggled into
Syria via Turkey?
America, this Benghazi story is
important. Is this cover-up the result
of incompetence or deceit? In either
case, America looks weak and in
more danger. We must get to bottom
of this. And by the way, where is the
media on this and are they part of the
cover-up?

Storyteller Childrens Center Gala
Montecito Insider
by Ann Pieramici
J.B. and Julia
Rodgers (who
chaired gala
sponsorship)
with Frank and
Tiffany Foster,
Storyteller gala
chair (photo

T
he 2012 Chinese Water Dragon
represents an auspicious
year according to the zodiac
calendar, and since it comes around
just once every six decades, Storyteller
Childrens Center took this as a sign
literally adopting the elements of
water and the fery dragon to serve as
inspiration for this years fundraising
gala. The Water Dragon symbolizes
strength, wisdom and patience,
attributes that Storyteller embodies.
With patience and sensitivity,
Storyteller Childrens Center helps
low-income parents and their young
children learn how to navigate what
can often be fierce circumstances in
their daily lives, explained Tiffany
Foster, who served as the Gala chair in
addition to her newly appointed posi-
tion as Board President. Storyteller is a
preschool for children who are home-
less or living in extreme poverty that
takes a comprehensive approach to
helping the whole family, increasing
chances for long-term success.
The auspicious dragon proved pow-
erful and lucky, as this years gala
raised more money than in previous
years while also exceeding fundrais-
ing goals. Storyteller board member
Julia Rodgers says, Its the faces and
stories of our families combined with
the research of how effective early
childhood education is that makes the
Storyteller mission so compelling.
Families are the fastest grow-
ing homeless population in Santa
Barbara, stated executive director
Terri Allison. Storyteller provides
preschool education, nutritious meals,
medical screenings, on-site counsel-
ing, home visits and parent education
classes to over 100 underprivileged
families each year.
The 380 guests were able to meet
one of these families through a video
presentation. Carlitos is a toddler
who lives in poverty with his sight-
impaired parents. Storyteller has
played an instrumental role in helping
Carlitos family learn how to provide
a nurturing environment for their son,
so that the boy who once threw wild
tantrums can now self-sooth and use
verbal skills to communicate.
I wanted to make sure that every-
one there on the night of the event
understood why we were there. We
kept tying it back to Storyteller and
the kids and families, noted Foster.
Money was raised through gener-
ous sponsorships, a paddle request,
raffle and live and silent auction items
themed to the twelve animals of the
Chinese zodiac. Among the live auc-
tion offerings was a Chinese New
Year celebration in San Francisco, an
Insiders Trip to China and a behind-
the-scenes premiere of the movie Life
of Pi. The raffle capitalized on the
Year of the Pig offering a collection of
gift certificates to Santa Barbaras top
eateries.
The dcor was kept simple to reduce
costs, and nothing more was needed
to promote the theme of water than
lovely poolside, ocean-view cocktails
at Bacara Resort. In the main ball-
room, guests dined on miso glazed
cod, bamboo jasmine rice cakes and
braised bok choy, while watching The
Dragon Chronicles, an original dance
choreographed by Brooke Hughes
Melton and performed by 12 local
dancers. After the dinner presentation,
the fashionable young crowd packed
the Dragons Lair dance floor for three
hours straight another sign of a truly
successful event!
Key gala committee members
included Jill Chase, Elizabeth Gabler,
Suzanne Garrett and Molly Green.
Major sponsors included: Bacara
Resort & Spa, Kind World Foundation,
lynda.com, U.S. Bank, Babcock Winery

Roger is the founding chairman of

since 1983 the group has flown 54,000
missions with non-medical emergen-

mechanics to airline executives, in 13

With 5,000 airports across the

I was suitably mesmerized, she

and I decided to open the branch here.
We did some research and everyone
thought it a good move.
We specialize in very high end
precious metals and South Sea black
pearls, as well as doing our own
designs.

World Odyssey
Seven thousands miles is a long way

decided to open a branch in our Eden

Peace, a longtime Montecito photog-
rapher.

clients and it seemed a natural pro-
gression to open a branch here, he
explained at a launch bash at Villa

neur, Michael Rothbard, just a short

Susan Channels Edith
Legendary Hollywood costume
designer, Edith Head, was quite a
dame.
She lasted for more than 60 years,
44 of them at Paramount where she
worked with some of the most famous
actors of the time, from Mae West to
Clara Bow to Grace Kelly, Audrey
Hepburn and Bette Davis, garnering
an amazing 35 Oscar nominations,
winning an unprecedented eight,
including costumes for All About Eve,
Roman Holiday and Sabrina.
Head, who I actually met while
we were both shopping at Gucci in
Beverly Hills in 1979, worked on
more than 1,100 movies, including
The Sting with Paul Newman and
Robert Redford and won the first-
ever Academy Award for a film with-
out a female lead.
Although she died in 1981 at the age
of 83, she was uncannily brought back
to life in A Conversation With Edith
Head at the Center Stage Theater at the
Paseo Nuevo when Susan Claassen,
who bears an eerie resemblance to
her, brilliantly reminisced about her
career, surrounded by some of the
gowns she designed, as well as pho-
tos and mementoes of her legendary
clients.
Like Heads life, the 90-minute show
was filled with humor, frustration, but
above all, glamour.
As fashionista friends might gush, it
was absolutely fabulous!
How totally appropriate...

Chowing Down on Chowder
The third annual Santa Barbara
Chowder Fest at the Montecito
Country Club, benefitting the Legal

County, attracted a record turnout of
more than 400 people raising around
$30,000.
Outback Steakhouse won the grand
prize based on a unanimous verdict
from the judges, Iron Chef Cat Cora,
restaurateur Doug Margerum and
restaurant writer John Dickson, with
Chucks Waterfront Grill a close sec-
ond.
With 22 eateries and ten wineries
participating, foundation executive
director Ellen Goodstein couldnt be
happier.
It took a while for the event to
build and get buzz, but I think we
can safely say weve now definitely
arrived. There are now six brew-
eries involved, double last years
entry.
Silent auction prizes included an
autographed L.A. Angels baseball,
and seats to the L.A. Lakers and L.A.
Dodgers.
Glassware Guru
It wasnt so much the wine as the
glassware that got the spotlight at
the Santa Barbara Historical Museum
when Melissa Hawkins, a represen-
tative from the 250-year-old Riedel
company in Austria, gave pointers on
drinking style and how the shape and
size of glasses affects the perception of
the grape on the palate.
You may well have used the historic
companys products, given they sup-
ply wine glasses to practically every
major outlet from Tiffany to Target,
according to Hawkins.
Guests at the event, the third in the
museums Salon series, were given
a presentation box of glasses as a
memento of the occasion.

box and hid it. When she returned the ring was missing. The ring, recently
appraised at $10,000, is platinum with a round diamond solitaire and triangle
shaped diamonds around it. The owner believes the ring was taken by someone
involved with the remodel of her home. A report was taken.

El Montecito
Presbyterian
Celebrates 125 Years
This weekend, El Montecito
Presbyterian Church kicks off a series
of events to celebrate the 125th anni-
versary of the East Valley Road church.
On November 13, 1887 the church
was officially organized with 25 char-
ter members who had been meeting
at the Montecito Union School. On
April 2, 1888, the Certificate of
Incorporation was granted by the
State of California and the first church
building at 1455 East Valley Road
was dedicated on December 30, 1888.
Rev. Jeff Bridgeman, Interim Pastor,
and the congregation of El Montecito
Presbyterian Church, invites the com-
munity to join in the many festive
celebrations planned.
This Sunday, November 11, a kick-
off Sunday Sermon will be given by
Rev. Jay Shirley, Associate Pastor.
There will be three services; 9 am,
10:30 am and 5 pm tapestry ser-
vice. Next Friday, November 16, a
Celebration Concert will be held at
7 pm in the sanctuary, performed by
the Sanctuary Choir and orchestra
under the direction of Dr. Michael
Eglin and Nathan Jon Kreitzer from
SBCC. The music performed will
include some original works that
were written specifically for pre-
vious anniversaries of this church.
Following the concert, the Deacons of
the church will provide a reception in
Parish Hall.
Next Sunday, November 18, a
Heritage Celebration will be at 10 am
in the sanctuary. It will include guest
preacher, Rev. Dr. Lloyd Ogilvie, for-
mer pastor of Hollywood Presbyterian
Church and past Chaplain to the
Senate. Following the worship ser-
vice, the Trustees of the church will
provide a BBQ picnic on the patio. On
Thursday, February 23, an Art Show
will showcase talents of the congrega-
tion and beyond.
Over 5,000 couples have been
married at the historic church. On
Thursday, February 14, 2013, as part
of the 125th anniversary celebration,
a renewal of vows and reception will
be open to any couples that have been
married at El Montecito Presbyterian
Church. Attendees are welcome to
come in wedding attire, if possible.
Other couples that were not married
at ELMO but would like to renew
their vows are also welcome to join.

What are you most excited about this
year, bands or speakers?
Im really excited to hear Chuck D,
the hip-hop icon and legend, talking
about what hes been up to and his
views on the music industry given that
he has a long history since peer-to-peer
started. Just meeting him is pretty neat
for me, actually; Fear of a Black Planet
was one of those albums that changed
music for my generation. Im also look-
ing forward to Glen Phillips and Zach
Gill doing the panel talk on sustain-
able songwriting, how to keep a career
in music going. That should be an
interesting conversation. On the music
side, Gardens & Villa and Y La Bamba
at the block party should be great, and
Im going to see Blackalicious at Velvet
Jones and Saul Williams, a great hip-
hop poet, at SOhO.
But the big names dont matter. My
job is to get you go out and check
things out. Just pick up a badge and
force yourself to go out for all three
nights. You wont be disappointed.
You will discover something new in a
way you might not at SXSW because
its so big youre too busy seeing
corporate stuff. Were much more
organic; its easier to stumble in and
see something youll be surprised by.
Tickets to New Noise cost $55 for a

EASING RECOVERY
FROM SURGERY
Recovering from surgery can be a long and arduous
journey. Painful incisions and infammation are
frequently present even after the most successful surgeries.
Using a feather light touch the body is speeded along
the road to recovery. Recently, scientists at the Pacif ic
Advanced Technology Laboratory were able to provide
proof positive that I emit and transfer energy. Using
sophisticated infrared research equipment scientists
were able to identify that the energy from my hands
was successfully transferred to my subjects, If you go to
my website you can view this... just click medicine and
science.
Tis healing energy may reduce infammation, heal

hematomas and reduce scar tissue. Please allow me to
assist you along the road to recovery

O
n a warm evening last Wednesday, over one thousand trick-or-treaters and their parents traversed Coast Village
Road for Coast Village Business Associations annual Halloween extravaganza. Business owners and their staf
were in the spooky spirit, dressing up and passing out candy at the doors of their shops. New Coast Village Road
dental practice, Riviera Smiles, which opened last month, passed out non-sweet goodies, while other store owners,
like Richie the Barber, enlisted the help of a DJ to help entertain trick-or-treaters.
Danny Copus, owner of Montecito Inn and president of CVBA, promises to have the popular Haunted House back at
his familys hotel next year. We took a hiatus, but we will be back bigger than ever next year! he told us.
Heres the Scoop owners Bob and Ellie Patterson once again held a costume contest. Here are the winners, along with
other Ghost Village Road goers in a photo recap.

First Place: Dawson Fuss (Montecito Union School,
age 8) as a turtle from The Master of Disguise. The
winning costume was the youngsters idea, and he
picked out the suit at a thrift store. He helped his
mom sew the material and padding for the back
of the costume.
Second Place: Sofie Ziouani and Lulu Blau (both
MUS students, age 12). The girls are good friends
and created a costume to wear together. As Trash
and Recycle, the girls adhered various items to
their costumes. We thought it was so creative,
Ellie Patterson said.

Third Place: Stella Haffner (MUS, age 11) dressed
as her favorite dog breed, the Dalmatian. Stella
says she loves dogs and has two of her own, so
this costume was an obvious choice for her.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8
Heat of the moment Asia hasnt had
a real hit in a couple of decades at least.
But the original British progressive rock
supergroup borne of the ashes of Yes,
Emerson, Lake & Palmer and King Crimson
sure struck gold back in the early 1980s.
Their debut LP ruled the airwaves (and a
fedgling music video outlet called MTV) on
the strength of such hits as Heat Of The
Moment, Only Time Will Tell, and Sole
Survivor, spending nine weeks at No. 1
and eventually selling six million albums in
total. Pressure to do even better took its toll,
however, and follow-ups never performed
up to that level before the group eventually
imploded just a few years later. But since
reforming in the mid-2000s with most of
the original members, Asia has found a
happy home on the oldies/casino circuit,
including a gig tonight up at the Chumash
Resort. WHEN: 8pm WHERE: 3400
East Hwy. 246, Santa Ynez COST: $25-

Globe Theatre touring ensemble has
found a happy home with UCSBs Arts &
Lectures, which has brought the troupe
that features celebrated players from
the world-renowned venue in London
(revived not far from the original 16th
century site) to a couple of venues
around town. Now, theyre taking on
Hamlet, the Bards greatest tragedy
of all, one rife with sexual obsession,
political intrigue, existential angst and
violence. Directed by Globe artistic
director Dominic Dromgoole and
actor Bill Buckhurst, the fast-paced
raw and elemental production features
just eight actors (all but one play multiple
roles) and is staged on a simple wooden
set, based on the traditional Elizabethan
model. Thirty-year-old (and looking
much younger) Michael Benz plays
the titular Danish prince, taking on a
role usually performed by older actors,
but one envisioned by the author as
youthful hes still a university student,
in fact. The Globes Hamlet has drawn
rave reviews around the world, with
Britains Independent lauding a thrilling
performance wonderfully engrossing,
the Guardian calling it a driving,
unfussy account of a great play and the
Washington Post hailing a brisk and
compact Hamlet (that) casts off solemnity

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9
Dijos dynamic duo The local theater
company executive directed by Montecito
resident Jerry Oshinsky is bringing two
different historical plays to town to run in
repertory over the next two weeks. New
Jerusalem, by acclaimed playwright David
Ives, is a rare historical work by the usually
comedic author but one that fts perfectly
with Dijos oeuvre, the company having
previously presented Frost/Nixon, The Love
Song of J. Robert Oppenheimer, Hanna and
Martin, and Fifteen Rounds with Jackson
Pollock. The taut work runs like a modern
day Inherit the Wind-style trial, based on
fact with invented dialogue. Pitting religion
against philosophy, government against religion, and community against government,
the play is set in the mid-1600s, and explores the enclave of Sephardic Jews within
the City of Amsterdam who are allowed to self-police as a condition of residing in
the city without fear of punishment. Eventually, the Jews must come to grips with the
radical thinking of Baruch Spinoza, the supposedly religious Jewish philosopher
whose thoughts threaten the existence of his closed community even as he heads
down a path that threatens his very survival. William Waxman, Brian Kolb, Jesi
Vasquez, Aden Hailu, and Oshinsky co-star; Ed Giron both acts and directs.
Running in tandem is the regional premiere of Conversations in Tusculum, a new work
by Tony/Olivier/Obie Award-winner Richard Nelson (James Joyces The Dead,
Chess) about the plot to assassinate Julius Caesar. The play brings to life the intense
and controversial interactions among Brutus, Cassius and Cicero leading up to the
assassination focusing on power and its abuse, and illuminating how ancient Rome
has startling resonance with our age. The New York Times described it as a deeply
felt study of the hopelessness that comes with inaction. Presented as a stage reading
in its frst production after the New York premiere, Conversations stars Giron (who
also again directs) Waxman, Oshinsky, and Hailu plus Philip Levere and Maia
Mook. WHEN: Jerusalem: 8pm Nov 9, 11 (2pm), 14-16, 19-20, 24 & 25 (7pm);
Conversations: 8pm Nov 11-13 & 23, and 24-25 (2pm) WHERE: Center Stage

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9
Shine on Melanie
Marnichs These
Shining Lives delves
into the still eerily timely
story of the Radium Dial
Company, an Illinois
dial-painting studio that
offered rare employment
opportunities for
young women in the
1920s-30s, producing
glow-in-the-dark watch
dials, eventually more
than 4,000 per day.
But the apparently
enjoyable work for good
pay proved a health
nightmare; by 1927, a female dial painter died of what would later be diagnosed
as extreme radium poisoning, followed eventually by 34 more documented cases
over the next ffteen years. It took nearly two decades, but the company was forced
to settle a lawsuit. The play celebrates how, in the midst of a nation recovering from
war and suffering a major economic depression, a small group of people found
strength in gathering together to fght for their labor and healthcare rights, to hold
big business accountable for the human casualties it left in its wake. CSB faculty
member Tom Whitaker directs the Department of Theater and Dance production,
starring a student cast. WHEN: Opens 8pm Friday, plays 2 & 8pm Saturday,

Chamber west Camerata Pacifca
already boasts two of members of the
Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center
as principal artists in violists Richard
ONeill and clarinetist Jos Franch
Ballester. Now, their colleague on harp,
Bridget Kibbey, is being featured
on the Santa Barbara chamber music
ensembles November program, an early-
20th century French-themed evening
created to showcase the instrument
in general and Kibbey in particular.
Kibbey an Avery Fisher Career Grant
recipient who The New York Times has
praised in a review that said she made it
seem as though her instrument had been
waiting all its life to explode with the
gorgeous colors and energetic fgures she
was getting from it will be heard on
Debussys late work, the Sonata for Flute,
Viola and Harp. Indeed, the composer is
the centerpiece of the program, as all of
the works and composers on the program
which opens with his Danse Sacre et
Danse Profane have a Debussy link:
Andr Caplet was Debussys orchestrator
and his Conte Fantastique is written on
the tale of Edgar Allan Poes Masque
of the Red Death, and well also hear
Jolivets Chant de Linos and Ravels
Introduction & Allegro. In addition to
Kibbey and ONeill, the players include
Adrian Spence (fute), Bil Jackson
(clarinet), Catherine Leonard (violin),
Agnes Gottschewski (violin), Ani
Aznavoorian (cello) and Tim Eckert
(double bass). WHEN: 1pm (no Caplet or
Jolivet) & 7:30pm WHERE: Hahn Hall, on
the campus of the Music Academy of the
West, 1070 Fairway Road COST: $45

Hey, hey! Wheres Davy Somehow
it seems a little strange and more than bad
timing to call the current Monkees tour a
reunion when its missing lead singer and
heartthrob Davy Jones, who died earlier
this year. But on the other hand, its also
the frst time Michael Nesmith, the best
musician of the bunch (he was a Stone
Pony when Linda Ronstadt sang Different
Drum, e.g.) has rejoined the band for a
tour in more than 15 years. Extra kudos
to the band for showing flm clips of Jones
as a tribute during the concert. Either way,
the groups longevity if not its musicality
demands some respect. And whats wrong
with a little guilty pleasure once in a while?
WHEN: 8pm WHERE: Arlington Theatre,
1317 State Street COST: $35-$52 INFO:

special fy-over featuring 16 different
vintage and modern aircraft in several
formations overhead. Elsewhere,
former Hanoi Hilton prisoner of
war Col. John Fer represents the frst Vietnam veteran to serve as keynote speaker

French festival Camerata Pacifca
launches the local Francophile fxation among
classical fans Friday with its Debussy-inspired
program. Now the Santa Barbara Symphony
does its own ooh-la-la double take with more
works by French composers in its weekend
program. And while harp was the focus over
at Hahn Hall, all eyes at the Granada will be
on futist Demarre McGill, who solos in both
Debussys Syrinx and Iberts Concerto for Flute
and Orchestra. Syrinx, for unaccompanied
fute, was written exactly 99 years ago as
incidental music to French writer and translator
Gabriel Moureys new three-act dramatic
poem on the ancient tale of Psyche. Debussys
seminal Prelude to The Afternoon of a Faun
follows, before McGill winner of a 2003 Avery Fisher Career Grant, who has
soloed with the Chicago Symphony and Philadelphia Orchestra among others and
now serves as principal futist of the Seattle Symphony returns for Iberts 20-minute
concerto. The concert concludes with Saint-Sans Symphony No. 3 in C minor,
Op. 78, Organ, the French symphonic masterpiece. WHEN: 8pm tonight, 3pm

Charm-ing exhibition The Santa
Barbara Museum of Art is celebrating the
installation of Nine Unique Sculptures
from the Charm Series by Martin
Kersels with an afternoon of witty and
interactive activities meant to parallel
the highly unusual works. The Charms
are works that incorporate found objects
and shapes to form iconic sculptures
some of which are illuminated that
hang from the ceiling, suspended from
a large ring like charms on a bracelet
and casting light and shadow on the
interior walls on the museums park
entrance atrium. Kersels is best known
for his installation Tumble Room (2001),
inspired by the scene in the Fred
Astaire flm Royal Wedding (1951)
where the actor dances up the walls
and across a ceiling. The current series
takes its inspiration from the meanings
and implications of the word, which
may be considered as a talisman that
simultaneously embodies a sense of
protection and danger. Works by Martin
Kersels are in many prominent public
collections, including the Museum of
Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the
Los Angeles County Museum of Art;
and the Museum of Contemporary Art
San Diego, among others. Todays
community event features a student
sculpture competition, a found object
music performance, and interactive art
making. The sculpture competition will
be juried by Kersels and members of the
Santa Barbara community, who will have
a chance to cast their votes and cheer
on their favorite team representing area
high schools and universities. WHEN:
Event 1-3pm; exhibit up indefnitely
