The BEST of Montecito
A
big Thank You to all those whove already sent in their BEST of
Montecito choices either through the mail (1206 Coast Village Circle,
Montecito CA 93108) or via our online site (montecitojournal.net).
This weeks ballot is on page 18. Deadline for all ballots for voting purposes
is Monday, October 31; results will be published in our November 10
th
issue
(# 17/45).
Weve been overwhelmed with ballots and responses, but we want to
encourage even more participation, so heres what weve got so far:
Leading the pack for BEST Manicure is Lena at Dadiana; the BEST
Window Displays are at Wendy Fosters; BEST Iced Mocha at Coffee
Bean & Tea Leaf; BEST Lingerie, Glamour House; BEST Server, Ruth at
Peabodys; BEST Aesthetician, Eva at Mareva; BEST art teacher, Jordan
Pope at Portico Gallery; BEST Artist, Tom Mielko; BEST Pizza, Via Vai.
If you disagree with any of the above choices, its not too late to send in
your vote.
One thing we should mention: The BEST of Montecito is not about select-
ing the BEST restaurant, bar, boutique, merchant, or establishment. There
is no way to decide, for example, what the BEST restaurant is, as how can
one compare a Japanese sushi eatery with an Italian ristorante? We can,
however, choose the BEST sushi dish and/or BEST pastry item (say, the
coffee scones at Jeannines), so please, concentrate on people and products:
the BEST server, bank teller, delivery person, mailman or woman, BEST
manicurist, hair dresser, hair cutter, masseuse, masseur, lawyer, bookseller,
BEST margarita, gelato, ice cream, dessert, appetizer, salad, etc. Thanks.

Ghost Village Road
MJ Managing Editor Kelly Mahan will have all the updated information
on the upcoming Ghost Village Road activities on page 11, so this is sim-
ply a reminder to be exceedingly careful driving around the Coast Village
area on Monday, October 31. There are likely to be thousands of costumed
kids carrying small and large sacks of candy and other rewards and excit-
edly heading towards their next Trick or Treat destination. Some of those
kids will be small, and some may get away from under their parents careful
shepherding; many will be wearing dark costumes and wont be watching
for traffic. Please drive carefully and slowly along Coast Village Road from
3:30 pm to dusk on Monday, October 31.
Note to parents: There will be extra security and traffic control at all intersec-
tions, but do be careful about crossing outside of crosswalks. The BEST way to
visit all the Treat Stops is by traveling on one side of the street from Olive Mill
to Butterfly Lane and then back on the other side.
Speaking of
Ballots
If you havent filled
out your City of Santa
Barbara ballot for the

Pacific Coast Circuit for a decade until
last year.
Pat, who even has his own polo
field at his sprawling 20-acre estate,
Bella Vista, says his new position will
include a fair amount of involvement
and travel.
For more than a century, the East
Coast Establishment has controlled
the sport and it was time for a change,
he says. I have worked very hard for
the association and I think people rec-
ognized this.
The Left Coast influence continues to
grow with banker Dan Walker becom-
ing national handicap chairman and
Doctor Richard Caleel appointed chair-
man of the international committee...
Keeping Up
TV reality star Kim Kardashians
Montecito nuptials in August, which
almost ground our rarefied enclave
to a halt, was supposedly a two-night
four-hour event on E!, but the actual
wedding ceremony at venture capi-
talist Frank Caufields 11-acre estate,
Sotto Il Monte, took up less than three
minutes of air time.
The other 237 minutes included
mother of the 31-year-old bride Kris
Jenners facelift, choosing the cars
for the multi-million dollar event
including a $500,000 white Mercedes
Maybach and a Rolls Royce Phantom
and organizing the bridal bouquet,
while the groom, pro basketball play-
er Kris Humphries, 26, stayed very
much in the background.
Noticeably missing in the whole
overblown extravaganza was
romance, but not that it mattered too
much to E!, where I used to toil as host
of The Gossip Show.
The Fairytale Wedding special set
a ratings record for the network, with
nearly ten million people watching
over the two nights, eclipsing the
previous record, which happened to
be last years Keeping Up With The
Kardashians season finale.
Go figure...
Dancing Dreams Dashed
Montecito actor Billy Baldwins
singer wife, Chynna Phillips dreams
of victory on the popular ABC series
Dancing with the Stars were dashed
when she was voted off the fourth
week of the 13th season.
Chynna had been in a three-way
tie near the bottom of the scoreboard,
alongside Chaz Bono and court com-
mentator Nancy Grace, after a disap-
pointing tango with her pro partner,
Tony Dovolani, in which she forgot
the choreography and failed to prop-
erly execute the steps.
The judges awarded her 21 out of a
possible 30 points.
Chynna said: Im disappointed.
Im sad. But I have to take responsibil-
ity. I messed up!
The idea for her to compete was
Billys, she told talk show host Jimmy
Kimmel.
I said if you can get me on Dancing
then Ill do it. If I win you get a vasec-
tomy. He said if you get into the finals,
then I cant vote for you anymore...
So baby number four might be on the
way!
Carols Night
Veteran comedienne Carol Burnett
is still as popular as ever, as evidenced
from the 500-plus guests packing
the Lobero Theatre for An Evening
of Laughter and Love tribute that
raised around $250,000 for the Teddy
Bear Cancer Foundation.
Emmy award-winning political
pundit Dennis Miller was in fine
form as emcee, while Billy Baldwin
obviously breathing a sigh of relief
at not having to undergo a vasectomy
proved an adept auctioneer, arriving
with great fanfare in the Santa Barbara
Police Departments $250,000 Bearcat
armored SWAT car, escorted by two
police outriders, lights flashing, an
attach case handcuffed to his wrist.
Billy, who stars in the CW teen drama
Gossip Girl, auctioned off a day with
the Navy Seals in San Diego, as well
as a trip to Sea World, for $37,500, split
between three competitive bidders,
while Golden Globe-winning Glee star
Jane Lynch, Melissa Peterman of the
hit series Reba and L.A. comedian,
Garet Webb, kept the laughter quo-
tient high.
The gala, co-chaired by Margo
Barbakow and Fiona Stone, was
interspersed with film tributes from
Tim Conway, Steve Martin and Garry
Shandling, and ended, appropriately
enough, with members of the SB High

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The Tusk is Mighty Too
F
inding national and literature
in the same sentence in the
Montecito Journal (Book Talk MJ
# 17/37), I would like to know what
readers are encountering in their
living rooms, starting with the MJ
literature column: The real elephant
in the living room is our national
nervousness at equating insightful
portrayals of believable characters in
plausible moral dilemma as literature.
A wannabe Harvard professor whose
name is artfully concealed in the word
pachyderm has been on a binge
in Indian dialect studies among the
elephant tribes and assures us that his
translation of the hymn to Ganesh is
literal: The real elephant in the living
room is an old national-pride sot who
is not above sending our youth to
die on foreign soil over trumped-up
grievances, especially if the sot gets
richer and more powerful by doing so,
literature being less mighty than the
tusk, let alone the sword.
Faithfully,
Gavin Hyde

(Editors note: Thank you for your com-
ments, although they do leave us a bit
confused TLB)
Change is inevitable
Change is good Well, sometimes.
It just hurt my heart to contem-
plate the closing of Turk Hessellund
Nursery on the corner of Coast
Village Circle and Coast Village Road.
I was fortunate to have frequented
Raymond Sodomka (and familys)
establishment, not just for the first-
rate products but also for a dousing of
psychology, philosophy, morals, eth-
ics, and a scholarly knowledge span-
ning film, art, botany and a good
share of his own personal pilgrimage
of life. A visit to Turks always took a
bit more time than one had planned,
but I always came away enchanted
and satisfied, enriched and full.
I miss Coast Village Road, having
worked at Tony Rose Camera for eigh-
teen years and being lucky enough
to have owned it an additional ten. I
enjoyed the fruits of its daily enter-
prise. I miss Kim and Ingela and
Gordy and Joe, my UPS driver Daryl,
and Cynthia too.
My heart is heavy when I give a sigh
that Montecitos sage wont be there
when I need him.

(Editors note: This letter was stuck
between two letters to the editor files
and was lost until someone noticed that
it had never been printed. It was sent to
us in July, after Kelly Mahan broke the
news about plans to develop the Turk
Hessellund Nursery property. We apolo-
gize to Steve for the delay and only note
that we unanimously agree that the loss
of Turk Hessellund will be a great loss
indeed. J.B.)
Student of SB History
Gridlock in Washington can only
make things worse with time. Almost
daily the local media reveals evidence
of the corruption that power inevita-
bly breeds. I've never seen it worse in
my 83 years as a Santa Barbaran.
Being somewhat of a student of the
period in Santa Barbara history that
William Pritchett, Sr. draws upon
(Letters to the Editor, ABR Fails
Miserably MJ # 17/41), I feel I can
add some useful history concerning
the forces of that era that shaped the
extraordinary Santa Barbara of today.

The value of history to the future is
incalculable. In writing about memo-
rials to the past, William McGurn of
The Wall Street Journal recently wrote
The purpose is not simply to com-
memorate a dead past. It is to take out
something vibrant from that past to
inspire those in the here and now.
The genesis of Santa Barbaras renais-
sance was the Progressive movement
that began around the turn of the 20th
century to undertake badly needed
reform of corporate and governmental
conduct harmful to the public at large.
The leading living historian on
California, State Librarian Emeritus
Kevin Starr, has stated, Today the
term progressivism with a small
p veered in a left-of-center direction.
In the early years of the twentieth cen-
tury, however, Progressivism was
characteristic of the upper-middle-
class The California Progressives
Republicans in the main, but
Democrats as well were at once
committed to the historical heritage of
California reformers and preservers,
historians and re-makers of history.
Research strongly suggests that Mr.
Dwight Murphy, who moved perma-
nently to Santa Barbara in the early
20s, was dedicated in an unusual
degree to Progressivism and by the
time of the 1925 earthquake, with his
love of Santa Barbara, business genius,
wealth, extraordinary popularity to
all those close to him, extraordinary
success with the founding and fund-
ing of the horse shows and Fiesta, was
invited, and willingly accepted, lead-
ership or participation in nearly every
civic institution and project.
He was a firm supporter of one of
the chief tenets of the Progressive
movement (the Roaring 20s virtually
destroyed Progressive willpower in
most of the rest of the country): that
being the need for youth to form and
serve on boards and commissions and,
with the help of Murphys leadership,
scores of Santa Barbarans did just that
to help remake the city following the
earthquake. For years subsequently he
led the small oligarchy of himself, Tom
Storke, and Max Fleischmann (Two
Republicans and one Democrat) that
miraculously brought the essential
ingredients for success together ded-
ication, money, media power and love
of the city to do the heavy infrastruc-
ture and humanitarian lifting though
earthquake, Great Depression and
war. Their total contributions require
several pages.
Whats the solution for the many
political failings that have brought our
dear city to its present plight involv-
ing ongoing financial, inefficiency and
corruption scandals? As unlikely as
it seems, but not impossible, is a city
council composed of people with the
same credentials as those that guided
the citys renaissance years ago. What
a great sacrifice for them, but at the
same time what a wonderful service
to our once proud city. Ideally these
would be retired people, hopefully of
independent means and some busi-
ness success (i.e. they probably would
not have to be beholden to pressure
groups and would hopefully respect
the significance of the P& L bottom
line and reserves, etc., and what hap-
pens if you dont).
Does anyone have any better solu-
tion?
History has also taught us that
when it seems things cant possibly
get worse a strong leader of high
principle and courage appears and
starts the process of reversing the
wrongs done through politics and
shortsighted policies ignoring history
and reality. Surely theres someone
out there with the will, statesmanship
and fearlessness of Dwight Murphy
to start Santa Barbaras second renais-
sance.
Edward A. Hartfeld

Murphy out there right now, but retain-

Ghost Village Road
Village Beat
by Kelly Mahan

M
onday, October 31, merchants
along Coast Village Road
invite young trick-or-treaters
to a fun and safe evening along
Montecitos main shopping corridor.
One of our villages most popular
events, Ghost Village Road features
Halloween festivities all along the
road.
Most shop owners will participate
in passing out candy and mingling
with over 1,000 Montecito and Santa
Barbara residents expected to make
their way down the traffic-controlled
street. Again, Montecito Inn will be
the site of a haunted house; this years
theme is Pirates of the Scare-ibbean
says Montecito Inn owner and Coast
Village Business Association president
Danny Copus. People are all excited
about it, we get inquiries about it
everyday! he says about the event,
organized by CVBA.
Montecitos gelateria, Heres the
Scoop, is already in the seasonal spirit:
owners Bob and Ellie Patterson have
started serving their Worms n Dirt
gelato, due to popular demand. The
couple has also been busy making
pumpkin gelato, as well as cinna-
mon gelato, for the autumn season.
Heres the Scoop will again feature a
photo opportunity and costume con-
test during Ghost Village Road, with
the winners pictures displayed here
in the Journal. The contest is based on

Montecitos other sweet shop,
Whodidily Cupcakes, is serving
Halloween-themed cupcakes through-
out the month, and employees and
owner Wendy Jones will be in their
costumed best during the three hour
trick-or-treat fest.
Be sure and stop by Matti & Me,
Coast Village Roads newest merchant,
who opens its doors October 25. We
are looking forward to meeting more
of the community, says co-owner
Matti Bourgault, adding, Everyone
has already truly embraced us. The
luxury consignment shop is located at
1273 Coast Village Road.
Coast Village Business Association
decided last month to hold the event
actually on Halloween, instead of the
Friday before. CVBA board members
don their orange vests and help control
traffic, specifically on the crosswalks.
Last year it was so busy with cars;
Fridays the street is always packed,
Copus said about the decision to hold
the event on a Monday. Motorists are
reminded to use extra caution along
Coast Village Road during the event,
and to avoid driving in the area if pos-
sible. The group also decided to push
the hours back, to allow kids ample
time to come to the road after school.
The festivities begin at 3:30 pm and
will continue to 6:30 pm or there-
abouts.
new Shop
on Coast Village Road
In the space formerly home to Carroll
& Co., nestled between the Liquor
& Wine Grotto and Living Green on
Coast Village Road, Matti & Me is the
newest retailer to open its doors. The
shop, owned by Matti Bourgault and
Wendy Nanon Smith, is a high-end
luxury consignment store, set to open
on Tuesday, October 25.
We call it compassionate luxury
consignment, said Smith during a
recent interview. The compassion-
ate component is based on the fact
that we will donate a percentage of
each purchase to humanitarian non-
profits, she said.
The duo has been friends for several
years, meeting in Aspen, Colorado,
where they both were involved in
their own endeavors: Smith in design,
marketing, and business ownership,
and Matti in an executive role with
Boogies Diner, a retro restaurant and
fashion boutique under one roof.
We were the perfect complement for

each other, with our different back-
grounds, Bourgault explains. And
we are both workaholics, she laughs.
The friends had the idea for a high-
end consignment store, and knew
they wanted to open it somewhere on
the west coast. Bourgault, who had
traveled to New York to hold execu-
tive positions with Ralph Lauren, Cole
Hahn, and Bergdorf Goodman, had
a home base in Santa Barbara. We
realized Montecito would be the per-
fect location for pulling in customers
from across the state, even the world!
Smith says. They credit Montecito
with having a philanthropic, healthy
lifestyle, similar to Aspen. This isnt
just a business for us, its a lifestyle,
Bourgault said.
The shop features womens cloth-
ing, handbags, shoes and boots, acces-
sories, belts, sunglasses, jewelry, and
mens clothing. A majority of the
clothes have never been worn and still
have tags attached, while some piec-
es, Bourgault said, have been worn
just once. Designer brands include
Gucci, Prada, YSL, Jill Sander, Louis
Vuitton, Blumarine, Roberto Cavalli,
Valentino, Hermes, Herve Leger, and
many more. You can still wear the
brand names, but you dont have to
pay the price, Bourgault says.
Adorning the wall of the almost-
finished store are black and white
photographs of celebrities from the fif-
ties and sixties, taken by local award-
winning photographer Santi Visalli.
The photos, which give the store a
vintage vibe, are also for sale. They
are signed, limited edition prints,
Bourgault said. A small garden in the
rear of the shop will also feature vin-
tage gardening accessories and out-
door goods.
The current clothing in the shop
has come from around the country,
from the closets of women and men in
Chicago, Washington, D.C., Florida,
Maine, and California, among other
locales. We plan on having items
from around the world, in order to
remain discreet. Clients can be sure
they arent wearing their neighbors
consignments, Bourgault explains.
The owners have selected a group
S
tate Street Ballet hosted a beneft
gala event titled Celebrate Santa
Barbaras Treasures honoring
Anne and Michael Towbes who have
given so much to support the Ballet.
We sipped wine and ate canaps
on the Coral Casino veranda. The
committee had even ordered up a
Princess cruise ship to be anchored in
the distance. It sailed off at sunset as
though right on cue.
Dinner was served in the La Pacifica
Ballroom with each table named for
a city treasure like the Mission or the
Courthouse. State Street ballet per-
formed three different vignettes cho-
reographed by New Yorks William
Soleau. The dancers whirled all
around the room instead of on stage,
to ensure that everyone could see.
Los Angeles Operas Rene Rapier
then sang the aria Habanera from
Carmen accompanied by Catherine
Miller Popovic and later Sequidilla,
also from Carmen.
Artistic Director Rodney Gustafson
wants us to remember that the Towbes
are a Santa Barbara treasure because
of their support of the community and
dance. My first memory of Michael
was when I arrived about 16 years
ago with the dream of creating a pro-
fessional ballet company. Our first
performance was a tribute to his late
wife Gail who loved to dance. Now
we have a wonderful new dance cen-
ter dedicated to her memory. About
50 different organizations have shared
the use of the 10,000 sq-ft facility. It
has state-of-the art sprung floors, four
working studios and is active seven
days a week, often from 9:00 am to
9:00 pm.
Andrew Firestone kept the bid-
ding going on the live auction. My
favorite was two VIP tickets to see
Dancing With the Stars live. Paddle
bids brought dollars for pointe shoes.
Amazingly, each ballerina uses about
25 pair per season because the shoes
which cost $100 each, only last about
a week. And then it was time for audi-
ence participation with dancing to
Bent Myggen music.
To be thanked were the gala com-
mittee with chair Jill Dexter, Arlyn

Annual
Membership Luncheon
The Lobero Theatre Associates
(LTA) held their annual membership
luncheon at La Cumbre Country Club.
The theatre they help has a long his-
tory in Santa Barbara. According to
Executive Director David Asbell,
Did you know that after the 1925
earthquake, people who had lost their
homes slept in the Lobero? There were
even Republican and Democratic con-
ventions held there.
The Associates have been around
for 39 of those years. One of the found-
ing members, Marilyn Scheurmann,
missed her first membership luncheon
in all those years. The membership
committee has done an outstanding
job this year of recruiting new blood in
the organization with 17 new recruits.
Joan Crossland introduced Leslie
Schneiderman, Anne Wilder, Gina
Bell, Gunilla Hutton, Judy Benozer,
Kaye Ewalt, Nancy Power, Marianne
Cooper, Lucinda Freeman, Sandy
Stahl, Debra Borden, Sue Walseth
and Jeanne Hoffman. Others not in
attendance were Christy Martin, Lori
Ogden, Lisa Schlagel and Hiroko
Benko
President Annie Williams thanked
Lana Marm for showing us the
latest fall fashion trends from her
shop in the Montecito Upper Village.
Member models strutted their stuff
with many outfits accessorized by
Lanas fabulous hats. Past president
Lily Marx won a hot pink number in
the raffle.
There are some renovations com-
ing up for the Lobero, including
enlarging the ladies bathroom which
drew loud applause and cheers from
the audience when David made the
announcement. One member joked,
We should call it the LTA Head quar-
ters. Lobero Associates were respon-
sible for the lovely patio in back of
the theatre. Theyll be working to
give more this year. MJ

Hot Springs Latest
A documentary made by filmmakers
Dane Hodgson and Tyler McNulty
of Urban Green Productions, docu-
menting the effort of the Land Trust
of Santa Barbara County to acquire
the Hot Springs Canyon property in
Montecito, is finished and available
for viewing. The short film will be
used by the Land Trust to help spread
awareness of the cause, as the dead-
line to raise $8.7 million by December
15 gets closer.
The Land Trust intends on pur-
chasing the 462-acre property from
the McCaslin siblings, whose father
Lowrey McCaslin bought the prop-
erty in 1962. The property is zoned for
six residential parcels, and through
a Conditional Use Permit could also
house a day spa. The Land Trust
intends on giving the property over
to the U.S. Forest Service for safe
keeping, ensuring the property, which

Suspect Found Under Controlled narcotics
on Eucalyptus Lane
Wednesday, 12 October, 6:30 pm Deputy Maupin was dispatched to
Eucalyptus Lane to investigate a man passed out in his vehicle. Upon arriv-
ing at the scene, Maupin discovered the man passed out in the backseat of his
vehicle, and successfully woke the man after several attempts. When the man
woke up, Maupin stated that he stared blankly for several seconds, and his
eyes were slow to react to light. Maupin began asking the man questions; dur-
ing the conversation, the man would nod off and fall asleep while sitting up.
Based on the mans symptoms, Maupin took a urine sample from him; he tested
positive for THC. Maupin also discovered that the man was on parole for drug
use charges. Maupin placed the man under arrest.
On further searching the vehicle, Maupin found a syringe with clear liquid,
which the man identified as water with blood in it; Maupin also found a black
sticky substance which the man identified as black tar heroin. Maupin also
found Methadone and Xanax. Deputy Maupin transported the man to Santa
Barbara County Jail. A report was taken.
Employee Theft in Summerland
Saturday, 15 October, 2:15 pm Deputy McKarrell was dispatched to a mar-
ket on Lillie Avenue on reports of an employee theft. McKarrell contacted the
storeowner who stated that he received complaints that an employee had been
stealing from his store. The owner and his store manager reviewed security sur-
veillance and found that the employee did make several fraudulent transactions
from mid-August to early October. Upon watching surveillance, the storeowner
determined that another employee would work the cash register while the
charged employee would carry several items to make a transaction; instead of
ringing up the items, everything was scanned as a no sale, so no transaction was
made. The employee admitted to stealing over $1,000. Based on this informa-
tion, McKarrell placed the employee under arrest for grand theft. A report was
taken. MJ

Epicure.sb
in Montecito
On Wednesday, October 26, three of
Santa Barbaras renowned chefs will
come together at Bella Vista at the
Biltmore to create a four-course din-
ner with wine pairings to celebrate
epicure.sb, the Santa Barbara-based
culinary festival which takes place
every October. Biltmores Alessandro
Cartumini, San Ysidro Ranchs Jamie
West, and Brian Parks of the Canary
Hotel have created an elegant menu
featuring seasonal ingredients and
farmers market favorites.
Each chef will prepare one course,
and pastry chef Don Hall from the
Biltmore will prepare dessert. Wines
from Brander Vineyard will be paired
with each dish, and winemaker Fred
Brander will be on hand to discuss the
selections.
The three chefs will cook in their
distinctively different cooking styles,
incorporating local fresh seafood and
produce. The son of a pastry chef
in northern Piemonte, Italian-born
Cartumini, who has worked at Four
Seasons hotels domestically and inter-
nationally, will prepare the first course:
Kabocha squash soup, amaretti crum-
bles and house-made ricotta gnocchi.
Chef Jamie West, who returned to San
Ysidro Ranch earlier this year after serv-
ing as executive chef at Ojai Valley Inn
& Spa, will prepare Carpenter Ranch
squab (young pigeon) two ways. Canary
Hotels Chef Brian Parks will focus on
seafood: deconstructed bouillabaisse
with prawns, abalone and snapper.
The idea for this event was born when
the three chefs were working together at
a local charity dinner, and they decided
to collaborate on a menu combining
their individual approaches to food,
says Gena Downey, director of public
relations for Four Seasons Resort The
Biltmore. Epicure.sb was the perfect
opportunity for it to come to fruition,
she says. The three chefs will be on-
hand during the dinner to explain their
creations and interact with guests.
The evening begins at 6:30 pm with
a reception on Bella Vistas oceanfront
terrace. Dinner is to follow at 7 pm in
the dining room. Seating is limited to
40 people; cost is $85 per person with
wine pairings and $55 without wine.
Call 565-8232 for a reservation.

New Yorker short story.
In the summer of 1917 Robert
Grainier took part in an attempt on
the life of a Chinese laborer caught,
or anyway accused of stealing from
the company stores of the Spokane
International Railway in the Idaho
Panhandle.
Not the most promising or inspir-
ing introduction for an ordinary man,
nor are the details of his working life
at the moment, or of his relationship
with his wife and infant daughter,
but through dialogue of Grainier and
others, as well as internal monologue
from Grainier, we begin a journey
of discovery during which Johnson
with deft hand evokes the wonderful
glow in which the ordinary becomes
extraordinary evocations of time,
places, and events.
One particular conversation
between Grainier and his wife about
their infant daughter, Kate, illumi-
nates the point. How much does
[Kate] know, do you suppose, Gladys?
As much as a dog-pup, do you sup-
pose?
To which Gladys replies, A dog-
pup can live by its own after the bitch
weans it away. Grainier waits for her
to explain what this statement means,
acknowledging that she often thinks
ahead of him.
A man-child couldnt do that way,
she said, just go off and live after it
was weaned. A dog knows more than
a babe until the babe knows its words.
But not just a few words. A dog raised
around the house knows some words,
too as many as a baby.
The conversation continues for a few
more paragraphs; Grainier wants to
hear his wife say some of the words a
dog would know which is in itself a
poignant kind of conversation, given
more effect when we learn: All of his
life Robert Grainier was able to recall
this very moment on this very night.
From different time frames of
Grainiers life, we get visions of the
various jobs a man with his limited
education is able to hold, as well as his
stoic sense of self and life. From our
present-day point-of-view, we sense
the delicate balance of nostalgia and
day-to-day heartbreak.
As he does with his character,
Robert Grainier, Denis Johnson yanks
the apparent ordinariness of detail
out of its socket, exposing its nerves.
He spreads the ordinary before us as
though revealing its secret agendas.
What possible care could we have
about the way a railroad trestle spans
a gorge or how tunnels are dyna-
mited through granite outcrop? What
matter how a cabin is built or if the
blood-spattered canvas of a workers
lean-to dates from the Civil War and
is patched with rough burlap?
These and other such details are
the things Grainier sees about him,
works with, and lives through. The
enormous wildfire that consumes the
area in which Grainier owns a small
plot translates into a force that sweeps
over the land, causing change and
heartbreak. But by now we have seen
ordinariness become metaphor and a
matter of our dearest concern. Denis
Johnson has brought it to life, sprin-
kled it with the layer of ash descended
over Grainiers property, a residue of
fire and nostalgia.
A novella is the precise length for
this vision of this time. MJ
BOOK TALK
by Shelly Lowenkopf
Exposing the Ordinary
Train Dreams, a novella about an ordinary indi-
vidual set against the background of unusual
times
S
tories about the Old West, such as
Glendon Swarthouts The Shootist
and Jack Schaefers Monte Walsh,
in addition to being memorable as
narratives, are revered for being
dramatic glimpses of a vanishing way
of life.
Novellas literary forms of greater
length and complexity than the short
story confound publishers because
of their word length, which is in the
15-to-40-thousand word range, which
is neither a book-length fish nor a
hybrid fowl. When confronted with
Philip Roths debut in hardcover in
1959, Modern Library bundled his
novella Goodbye, Columbus with five
short stories to make an acceptable
package.
When a writer such as Jim Harrison
seems to produce novellas with some
regularity, his publisher simply waits
him out and publishes titles such as
Julip or Legends of the Fall, each of
which contains three novellas.
Here we are in 2011, with devices
such as Kindle, Nook, or iPad not
being constrained by word length,
publishing short stories and novel-
las as stand-alones in e-book format.
When an author with the stature and
reputation of Denis Johnson produces
a novella, Train Dreams, its publisher,
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, sends it
forth as a stand-alone.
Like the more recent Western nar-
ratives, Train Dreams is about a way
of life that has all but vanished, set
in many of its 116 pages in a ter-
rain arguably within the American
West, although not often associated
with that particular landscape. The so-
called Idaho Panhandle extends to the
Canadian border, where events and
names from our northern neighbor
trickle down on occasion, where there
were certainly less restrictions about
passage in either direction, and almost
none of the contemporary acrimony
surrounding immigration.
The lead character, Robert Grainier,
is much too ordinary a man to be
assigned the description of protago-
nist. This fact appears to be entirely to
Denis Johnsons liking as he embarks
on the theme of an ordinary individual
set against the background of unusu-
al times. A writer who has worked
his way through nine wildly diverse
novels, including an award-winning
novel of the war in Vietnam and a
humorous romp of a caper novel, as
well as a major short story collection,
Johnson starts his story early, and
ends with the kind of oblique fanfare
weve come to associate with the par-
ticular 21
st
Century whoosh sound of a
As he does with his character, Robert Grainier, Denis Johnson
yanks the apparent ordinariness of detail out of its socket,
exposing its nerves.

im Just Wild About Harry
(with apologies to Eubie Blake)
Summerland
by the Sea
Leslie A. Westbrook, a longtime resident of Summerland, is the author of a recently published book on
the 100-year history of Santa Barbara City College and is currently working with NEA Jazz Master and
Academy and Grammy Award winning composer/arranger Johnny Mandel on his memoir. She can be
reached at LeslieAWestbrook@gmail.com.
by Leslie A. Westbrook
I
dont know if Harry is sweet like
peppermint candy, as the old song
goes. And since I dont really know
Harry, he cant be wild about me. In
the meantime, just in case we take a
shine to one another (hes married,
so Im talking pals), I contacted the
Tennessee-based artist, known as
Harry (full name Harry Underwood)
via cyberspace to fnd out a bit of
how he ticks. Harry is coming to
Summerland on Friday, October 21
for the frst exhibition in our area of
his whimsical paintings at Just Folk,
the folk and outsider art gallery. Come
to think of it, how could I not be wild
about someone with the last name of a
typewriter?
With titles like, A Pictorial History
of Wishful Thinking and The Volcano of
the Daredevils and a plethora of words
in his imagery, its not hard to, at the
very least, be amused by Harry. I
asked the self-taught outsider artist
a few questions before his upcoming
show, Reveries and Recollections
which runs through December 13.
Heres what he had to say.
Q: Hello Harry. How ya doing? I won-
der if you could tell me a bit about yourself
and how you came to be an artist.
A: Im doing fine. I was born at
Doctors Hospital in Miami, Florida,
1969. My father can sketch very, very
well, and he would draw with me at
the kitchen table in the evenings when
I was young. I think that started me
drawing. From that point on, I would
doodle in the hymnals at church, and
in all manner of books or test papers
at school. I cant say that anything I
drew would be of any relevance to
what I do today. It was the typical
interests of a male youth.
In the mid-nineties, I made some
drawings and attached slogans onto
them. I would also Xerox pictures
from books that I appended with
phrases. I was discovering that art
was more than an image.
In 2001, I made some paintings fash-
ioned like that and tried selling them.
I started working with a mix of sten-
ciling and live drawing and I decided
that skill didnt really amount to very
much in my process. I dont paint to
move, I paint to think and slow down.
I enjoy being stuck on a picture. It
gives me something to look forward
to.
The imagery and thoughts are really fun
and provocative, but I am also drawn to
your color palette. Can you tell me about
the colors you work with?
I found the shades of green I have
while painting some rooms for my
neighbor Martha Bell. The darker red
I found came from cleaning my uncles
barn in Coopertown, Tennessee. The
rest of them seem to come from mem-
ories of Florida. They fit.

Since you live in Springfield, Tennesse,
just a few minutes north of Nashville in
the country, I wondered if you listen to
music while you work?
Yes, I like music for painting. Not
on constantly though. Sometimes
its quiet here for days, although in
the afternoon there are some loud
cars and noise outside that I try to
drown out. My favorite old record
is Funny Face, a musical with Fred
and Adele Astaire accompanied by
George Gershwin on the piano. My
wife and I go to some backyard par-
ties with live music from many of the
downtown musicians such as Chris
Scruggs and Chuck Mead. Those are
enjoyable. Missed a good show recent-
ly by Wanda Jackson, at Roberts
Western Wear. I miss a lot of the shows
because I work too late and havent
got the energy to go. I also listen to
old time radio. Favorite program is
The Whistler. I have been able to
watch movies and paint at the same
time, but foreign ones are difficult.

Who are some of the artists you admire?
Do you go to museums or galleries to see
other peoples work?
Yes, I go to museums sometimes,
but it isnt a priority to do so when I
visit a city. Frist Museum in Nashville
has some touring exhibits that Ill
go see. Its amazing to encounter a
painting like Woman in the Waves by
Gauguin, only a block away from a
honky-tonk thats been beating out
country music for sixty years.
My wife Rebekah (shes one of
Nashvilles top pastry chefs and
works at City House Restaurant)
introduced me to a lot of art that I
like, like William Christenberry and
Ben Shahn, but until I was in my
mid-thirties I really didnt look at
anything other than what was in the
secondhand History of Art book Id
had around for years. I never read the
book; I only looked at the images.
I once had a coffee mug with a Joan
Miro painting on it.
Id rather not have opinions about
artists or art, good or bad. I dont have
heroes. I like paintings though, and I
dont pay much attention to anything
thats not in paint. Thats probably a
lack of sophistication.
The Pink Palace Museum in
Memphis has an epic, mechanical rec-
reation of a circus carved by a man
named Clyde Parke, who spent 18
hours a day over a 30-year period
from 1930-1960 creating what is one
of the most memorable things Ive
ever seen.
If you werent an artist, what would
you be?
I dont believe theres anything else
to be. I installed floors and did various
other labor jobs before this. Id prob-
ably be doing that now, or any kind of
work that keeps me away from a boss.
In construction work, they leave you
alone most of the time and thats real
good. Plenty of time to think about life.

Is there something youd like to do artis-
tically that maybe you find challenging
due to size, money or any other constric-
tions?
I need to make larger paintings
this year. I need a larger studio. Ive
worked in the same room for over
a decade and my paintings dont fit
anymore. Its become a real frustration
for me. I am improving the work I do,
and that eliminates time for anything
else. For a lot of years, painting was all
I had in my life.

All the gals at Just Folk are really cool.
How did you happen to hook up with them
and what made you decide to show at the
gallery? Its a beautiful gallery space by
the way; I think you will be thrilled.
My friend Bill told them about me,
and they found my work at the NYC
Folk Art Fair. Ive been showing at that
art fair for three years with a British
art dealer. I had to go to England in
order to go to New York!

Have you ever been to Summerland?
Did you know that Spiritualists that
communicated with the dead founded
Summerland? Maybe you will be inspired
by our history.
No, Id like to learn more about the
town. Ive not been out there before.
That sounds interesting. I think my
trip to California is going to be too
short for me and Im not going to see
everything I would like to see.
Summerland has a few meanings
according to local lore: one is that it is a
place of eternal youth. The other is a place
of limbo between death and afterlife. What
do you think of that?
I think that sounds great. There isnt
much purpose to having an after-
life anyway, as its told to happen
after living and living is what its
all about. Limbo sounds fine for me.
I hope I land in limbo with a twelve-
pack of Pepsi Colas, forever and ever.

I forgot to ask you what inspires you.
Inspiration is in the blandness of
everyday life.
Thats something to chew on. See ya
soon, Harry. MJ
Tennessee-based artist Harry Underwood will

Recollections! at the Summerland Gallery Just

H
eather Keaney, Westmont
assistant professor of history,
and Jim Wright, codirector of
Westmont in Istanbul, will talk about
the currents that came together in the
Arab Spring in a lecture, The Arab
Spring: Where Are the Swallows?
on Thursday, Oct. 20, at 5:30 pm at
University Club, 1332 Santa Barbara
Street. The lecture is free, although
seating is limited and available on a
frst-come, frst-served basis. For more
information, please call (805) 565-6051.
In England, a swallow is the first
sign of summer, Wright says. Hence
we will discuss when will the Arab
Spring, representing potentiality, turn
to summer, representing actuality, for
the people of this region.
The speakers, who are married, were
living in Egypt during the Egyptian
Revolution and were based there dur-
ing the past decade. The talk will
focus on Egypt as an exemplar of the
Arab Spring. The presentations will
combine big-picture historical anal-
ysis with more personal, anecdotal
insights.
Keaney, a Westmont alumna, earned
a masters degree and doctorate in
Middle East history at UC Santa
Barbara. Keaney has spent the past 11
years living and teaching in Cairo at
the American University in Cairo and
at the Council for Christian Colleges
& Universities (CCCU) Middle East
Studies Program (MESP).
Wright, who was born in Devon,
England, has lived in Egypt for the
past 17 years. He graduated with a law
degree from Cambridge University
and has worked for a multi-national
corporate law firm in London and
Dubai. He studied cross-cultural and
Biblical theology in the U.K. before
arriving in Egypt, where he has stud-
ied Arabic and worked as a corporate
lawyer.
While the issues of what comes next
are inevitably speculative, the couple
will try to extrapolate from the mul-
tiple and often contradictory forces
at play to suggest some possible out-
comes. By the end of the evening, I
would like the audience to see that the
situation is a little more complex, sub-
tle and interesting than they thought
at the beginning, Wright says.
The lecture is part of Westmont
Downtown: Conversations about
Things that Matter, which is spon-
sored by the Westmont Foundation.
Mori to Conduct Fall
Orchestra Concert
Alumnus Paul Mori 77, who first
garnered praise as a conductor with
the Bach Ensemble of Baltimore in the
1990s, leads the Westmont Orchestra
into a new season Friday, Oct. 21, at 8
pm in Westmonts Page Multipurpose
Room and Sunday, Oct. 23, at 3 pm
at First Presbyterian Church, 21 E.

Supply My Need, Ralph Vaughan
Williams Five Variants of Dives
and Lazarus, Claude Debussys
Fetes from Nocturnes, Holsts
First Suite in E Flat, and Antonin
Dvoraks Serenade for Strings opus

the strings and without a conductor.
Wind instruments will be featured
separately in Holsts First Suite, con-
ducted by Mori.
In Baltimore, Moris chamber
orchestra performed a wide-ranging
repertoire and was featured numerous
times on public radio station WBJCs
prestigious Music in Maryland
series. At the Peabody Institute of
Johns Hopkins University, Mori
earned a masters degree in bassoon
performance with Phillip Kolker and
a doctorate in orchestral conducting
with Frederik Prausnitz.
He has served as musical director of
the Rainier Symphony (1996-2001) and
as the music director of the Bainbridge
Orchestra and the Rainier Youth
Symphony. He has also appeared as
guest conductor for various orches-
tras, including the Northwest Mahler
Festival Orchestra and the Huntington
Chamber Orchestra of West Virginia.
In December 2005, he conducted a
concert in Baltimore with world-
renown violinist Hilary Hahn and
members of the Baltimore Symphony
Orchestra.
At Westmont, he conducts cham-
ber ensembles and coaches the wind

One-Man Mystery
Ensemble Theatre Companys
latest season has kicked off with a
bang with Glen Bergers one-man
show Underneath the Lintel at the
Alhecama.
Tim Bagley, best known for his
work on the TV shows Will and Grace
and Monk, is an absolute delight as the
meticulous befuddled librarian who
receives an overdue travel guide 113
years overdue.
This moment at a small town library
in Holland sends the bemused book-
worm on an investigatory global trek
through the ages worthy of Sherlock
Holmes as he attempts to determine
the identity of the Baedeker borrower.
The Jonathan Fox-directed produc-
tion is helped immeasurably with
sound and projection from Steve
Klems as the baffled bibliophile trav-
els the world, eventually landing in
London.
To say more would give away too
much of the complicated plot, but,
suffice to say, this quirky adventure is
hardly by the book!
Underneath the Lintel runs
through Oct. 30...
Hole in One
Supporters of the Montecito YMCA,
where I sweat off the champagne and
canaps, clubbed together for the
fourth annual golf tournament at the
Montecito Country Club.
A record 90 players, as well as 20
children in a putting contest, helped
raise around $25,000 for the Ys myr-
iad programs, including scholarships.
Rob Adams, president of the Ys
board of directors, says: Its a won-
derful way of funding a nonprofit.
People really seem to like the sports
element.
Mike Yamasaki, Janice Caesar,
Andy Grant and Jodi Fishman-
Osti were the co-chairs, while the
winning foursome was made up of
Charlie Bissell, Johan Frisell, Kelly
Vanderver and John Sestak.
Auction prizes included trips to
Mammoth and Park City, Utah, VIP
seats to the L.A. Lakers and tickets to
Ellen DeGeneres Burbank-based TV
talk show...
Masterpiece Theater
The late Dutch artist Vincent Van
Gogh was a most anguished and tor-
tured individual, so it was no surprise
that State Street Ballets thoroughly
entertaining Starry Night at the
Granada was an equally nuanced pro-
duction.
New York-based choreogra-
pher William Soleau accomplished
a most handsome job, with Mark
Somerfields exquisite lighting used
to enormous effect, along with Bruce
Sutkas simple set design and Brian
Syzmanskis multimedia projections.
The show, which first premiered in
1989, is a glorious blend of impressive
dancing and technical advances that
cover the chapters in the painters all
too short life, during which he sold
only one work.
How ironic that his art now fetches
the worlds highest prices in the auc-
tion rooms of London, Paris and New
York!
The companys ballet master, Gary
McKenzie, looking eerily similar to
Van Gogh, pulls off the role, which
combines acting and dancing, well,
while Michael Daniels, playing his
brother, Theo, links the various peri-
ods of his life in most sonorous tones.
Adding to the overall effect
were longtime designer Christina
Gianninis period costumes, many
clearly taken from the paintings them-
selves, and the well chosen accompa-
nying music from the like of Bartok,
Dvorak, Saint-Saens, Vivaldi and
Shostakovich...
Rip-roaring Twenties
The subject may have been the
Prohibition Era in our tony town, but
the drinks were flowing at the Santa
Barbara Historical Museum when the
august institution hosted a Speakeasy
bash.
The flapper and feather party, com-
plete with a U.S. Marshalls 1936
Chevrolet used in an early film ver-
sion of Bonnie and Clyde a 1930 Ford
Model A, a whisky still and even a
1920s player piano, followed a talk on
Americas dry period from 1920 to 1933
by my columnist colleague, Erin Graffy,
suitably costumed for the occasion.
Bootlegging and rum running was
rife in southern California during that
period, given law enforcement only
had two aging boats that maxed out at
ten knots, while launches bringing in
the booze from Canada could do more
than four times that.
Santa Barbara County was the
perfect place, given its bigger than
Delaware and Rhode Island com-
bined, with one hundred twenty-five
miles of coastline, explained Erin.
There were lots of hiding places,

We would like to read a weekly
update. I think it could increase your
readership, and Im not kidding! It
could create a trend; you know, start
up a Facebook page The Delightful
Adventures of a Boy called Deacon;
it could be the new Harry Potter. It
sure would bring smiles to everyones
faces. I smile just imagining such a
thing.
But I do have kind of a whacky
sense of things... at least monthly for
heavens sake. We look forward to
watching him grow up in the Journal.
Lisa Cullen
Montecito
(Editors note: Just two things: 1)
Deacon is not, contrary to public opinion,
the cutest baby on earth; hes merely the
cutest baby in the Western Hemisphere;
weve had reports of a baby nearly as cute
having been born in a small town in the
Himalayas, and yet another in France. 2)
Weekly really would be a bit much, but
well update Deacons progress regularly.
Thank you for your suggestion and your
enthusiasm. TLB)
Sanctify This
First, I want to thank the people
that every year treat us to the won-
derfully decorated Christmas tree
at North Jameson and San Ysidro
Road. I so look forward to seeing what
these generous neighbors are going
to treat us with each holiday season.
Regarding Jay Fenders angst over
anything Christian being put on pub-
lic property (Tradition Should Die,
Letters to the Editor MJ # 17/40), I
can only imagine his emotional pain
when he has to pronounce or write
the name Santa (as-in saint-as-in-
Christian) Barbara, or San Ysidro, or
San Bernardino, to name only a few. I
wont even go into Halloween origins.
My suggestion to Mr. Fender is per-
haps he should move to an area where
only paganism is practiced, where all
religions have been eliminated and
only State-controlled entities can be
worshipped.

we are told, has also become a religious

Fanning the Flames
During the 303 Tea Party rallies
since its inception there were less
than five total arrests. By comparison,
in the few weeks of Occupy Wall
Street, hundreds have been arrested
in NYC, nearly 100 in Boston in the
last two days and at least someone
arrested at virtually all their dem-
onstrations throughout the country.
They are marching on the private
homes of corporate executives, leav-
ing millions of dollars ($2 million in
NYC alone) in damage and clean-
up, not including disruption to many
small businesses trying to operate in
those neighborhoods.
Obama has inspired them as they
shout his class warfare slogans and
Pelosi has thanked God for them. We
have never, in our lifetime, seen a U.S.
President and Congressional Party
leader call for, endorse, and fan the
flames of civil unrest.
Gary Lieberthal
Bel-Air
(Editors note: Mr. Lieberthal is the for-
mer CEO of Columbia/Tri-Star TV, and
owned a three-acre spread in Montecito
for a number of years; we are pleased
that he has chosen to stay in touch with
his former hometown through Montecito
Journal J.B.)
At the Western Wall
My husband, Joe Delshad, and I
took a copy of the Montecito Journal
with us recently during our trip to
Italy, Israel, and Jordan, where we cel-
ebrated our one-year wedding anni-
versary.
Last year on September 25th, we
got married in Montecito at a friends
estate off East Mountain Drive. We
also both work and once lived in
Montecito. I work at Physical Focus
on Hot Springs, and my husband
works as a private chef for different
families in Montecito. And before we
got married we lived on Hermosillo
Drive for two years.
Anyhow, we thought we would
pass the picture over to you because
we were hoping we would make it in
the Montecito Journal.
Sincerely,
Melody Delshad

bering to take along a copy of MJ, as we do

gala at the Carriage and Western Art
Museum, raising around $150,000 to
help provide tuition-free early child-
hood education for homeless and at-
risk children.
Terri Allison, executive director of
the center, which has two locations
in our Eden by the Beach, says: Its
our fifteenth fundraiser and seems to
get more popular. This year we had a
record two hundred and fifty people
attending.
Currently we serve seventy kids,
aged eighteen months to five years,
but theres a long waiting list of
between eighty and one hundred.

apparently helped Andrew Jackson in
the War of 1812. His remake is budget-
ed at forty million or so, and Davis
says hell need at least another forty
million for publicity and promotion.
The movie business just doesnt add
up anymore, he notes with a shrug.
Mayor Helene Schneider honored
Jeff Barbakows efforts with an official
plaque. Jeff steps down as President in
January, to be replaced by Doug Stone.
DeVito made humorous and guard-
ed comments about his and Michaels
early lives in Santa Barbara, where
Michael attended UCSB. Theyve
known each other since 1964. We
did quite a few things together that
we cant talk about, Danny joked.
He lived on East Mountain Drive as
a gardener, DeVito whispered con-
spiratorially, confessing that he and
Michael had spent quite a lot of time
expanding ourselves [Michael]
really broadened my horizons in a
lot of ways, he laughed. DeVito and
Douglas worked together on movies
such as Romancing The Stone, Jewel of
the Nile, War of the Roses, and Solitary
Man.
Concerning Michaels upcoming
film wherein he stars as Liberace and
Matt Damon is his lover, What I
want to know is who gets the top and
who gets the bottom?... I mean the
billing, DeVito cracked.
The Greatest Mensch
A reverential Roger Durling said
that While Kirk has played many
great men Spartacus, Vincent Van
Gogh, Michelangelo and Michael
has always known him as his father,
but to me, Roger continued in a quiet
and restrained voice, hell always be
the greatest mensch.
Before giving his son the award,
Kirk Douglas related how when
Michael first attended UCSB he had
decided he wanted to be a lawyer
and that the decision pleased him, as
every Jewish father wants at least one
son to be a doctor or a lawyer. When,
however, Michael, informed his father
that he was in a play and wanted
him to come see him, he was less
than pleased. After the play, Michael
asked his dad what he thought and
Kirk was brutally honest: You were
awful, he said. A few months later,
Michael invited his dad to attend
another performance and after the
show again asked his father what
he thought. How was I Dad? he
asked. Michael, Kirk answered,
You were very good. And, Kirk said
slowly, facing the audience he has
been good in everything he has done
from that day on.
Michaels father then related that
the two of them were watching the

I
pulled out my new Apple 4S
during a morning breakfast meet
at Tre Lune on Coast Village Road
and tried to ask Siri if wed need
sweaters that evening. Not being
entirely comfortable with the newly
acquired device, I was unable to get an
answer, but my reception was good.
Ernie Getto, sitting next to me, asked
what carrier I had and I answered
Verizon. He then commented that
he has AT&T and has trouble getting
phone service in his kitchen in his
home in Ennisbrook. He said he had to
go outside and orient his phone just so
in order to use it. It was, apparently, a
lot easier in Egypt. Phil and I were at
the bottom of the tomb of Ramses IV in
the Valley of the Kings and I turned to
Phil: Look at this; I have three bars,
he said laughing. Ernie did admit,
however, that my reception was
sketchy in Botswana.
The Douglas Affair
It was just another Hollywood get-
together at the Coral Casino, replete
with a red-carpet gauntlet, a pile of
camera-toting paparazzi, and decked-
out and black-tied celebs such as Jane
Lynch, Michael Douglas, Catherine
Zeta-Jones, Christopher Lloyd,
Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman, Bo
Derek, Andy Davis, Ron Meyer,
Corinna Gordon, Dennis Miller, Kirk
and Anne Douglas, Gene Montesano,
Jelinda and Barry DeVorzon, Phyllis
DePiccioto, Ivan Reitman and wife,
Genevieve, Annette Bening, Lee
and Marla Phillips, Randy and
Roxy Solakian, Mark and Sheela
Hunt and many others. A veritable
flock of Montecitos fine and feath-
ered assembled to honor favorite son
Michael Douglas, there to receive the
Kirk Douglas Award for Excellence in
Film, given every year, sponsored by
the Santa Barbara International Film
Festival; the award this year to be
bestowed upon his son by the senior
Douglas himself.
Black is the color of the evening,
although Genevieve Reitman is wear-
ing a striking cream-colored evening
gown and with her very blonde hair
up in a high ponytail, she stands out
among the black dresses and strings of
pearls so prevalent.
The Santa Barbara International
Film Festival has come a long way
from those early days when Phyllis
DePiccioto and a small band of invet-
erate film lovers launched the first fes-
tival in 1985. Whether it was Artistic
Director Roger Durlings unerringly
accurate choices of likely Academy
Award nominated films and filmmak-
ers or Jeff Barbakows expert guid-
ance (and Hollywood contacts) as
president of the board of directors of
SBIFF, the serendipitous combination
of executive talent and perspicacious
film selection has placed SBIFF in the
top tier of U.S. festivals, enhancing
its ability to draw top talent to events
such as this.
The Danny & Mike Show
Director Andy Davis revealed that
he is in the middle of raising funds for
a remake of Treasure Island but hasnt
settled on a choice of someone to play
the role of the pirate, Jean Lafitte, who
movie Zorro, when suddenly there
was a close-up of the most beautiful
girl in the world. What was that?
asked Michael. That, Michael, was
Catherine Zeta-Jones, Kirk replied.
And when Michael finally arranged
to meet Ms Zeta-Jones, the first thing
he said to her, Kirk reveals, was, I
want to be the father of your children,
and that scared the hell out of her.
Michael looked askance after not-
ing that The Kirk Douglas Award for
Excellence in Film had been presented
for the past six or seven years, and
that he was only now being awarded
with it. That just shows you, he
smiled, that theres no nepotism
involved in the choice of recipient.
Michael then praised his father:
Your third act is quite extraordinary.
Tell me, he said, at seventy years
old you had a helicopter crash, fol-
lowed by a pacemaker, followed by a
stroke, followed by having a double
knee replacement, and at the same
time, writing ten books, doing a one-
man show and writing poetry to your
wife while shes in the bath. Its pretty
extraordinary.
As was the affair. MJ

Angela Bevilacqua and Ian Thomson in black-tie and kilt were among the 250 or so guests attend-
ing the Coral Casino SBIFF affair
Side Notes
J
eff Barbakow, there with his wife, Margo, told us that Dr. Kim
Hurvitz had recently operated on his back, leaving him with
about eight or ten stitches. Dr. Hurvitz advised Jeff to take a
little time, but that he could resume playing golf. I just played my
first game, and played the best Ive ever played Jeff reported. I
played so well, he joked, that my playing partners wanted the
name of my doctor so they could have the same operation.
A Proper Scotsman
At my table were Judy Bell, who runs Truckee River Rafting
in Tahoe City in the summers, and her husband, Monty Cole, a
writer. They both live in Montecito the rest of the year. Also at the
table were Angela Bevilacqua and Ian Thomson (without
a p is the Scottish; with a p is the Irish and the English part
of the family and wed prefer not to talk about them, Ian quips
when asked about the spelling of his name). He and Angela are
just good friends. Ian was wearing a kilt (along with his black-tie
attire), One, because Im a proper Scotsman, he explains, and
secondly, of course, is because Kirk Douglas chose the name Kirk
Douglas. Douglas is a very well respected Clan name in Scotland,
and Kirk is Scottish for church. So there we have a person who
was originally Jewish-Russian who chose the name Kirk Douglas.
Ian, now retired, was the founder and CEO of an electronics
company with facilities in Germany, Singapore, Philippines, and
Silicon Valley. He says he worked seven days a week, 24 hours
a day but was always home for dinner and never missed his kids
birthdays. One of his kids, it turns out, is local photographer
Natalie Thomson (nataliethomson.com). He has two other chil-
dren and two grandchildren.

Joan Crossland
Appointed to CAMA Board
J
oan Crossland is a very busy
local businesswoman, mother
and volunteer. She is currently
appointed to the Community Arts
Music Association (CAMA) board,
in charge of the educational outreach
music program for our local schools.
The program is geared for fourth-
and ffth- graders and is called A
Classical Music Journey for Young
People. Its goal is to provide
students with a solid education
in music, complete with a music
journal and visits with professional
musicians in the classroom.
Joans CAMA volunteer job con-
sists of creating simplified outlines
for classical music learning, training
new docents to teach the CAMA
program in the local schools and to
develop the syllabi for the outreach
programs.
Music theory is taught using melo-
dy, the sound of the instrument and
rhythm. Joan shares that the chil-
drens emotional reaction to music
helps kids relate to the music, so
she has created those experiences in
the program by asking the students
what story they see or would write
when listening to the piece of music
being taught. Her premise is that
teaching classical music to young
children enhances their experience
of all music.
Since music and the arts have been
cut back in the public school systems
over the decade, CAMAs program
is the delight of the local teachers.
The CAMA class meets monthly for
30 minutes. The homeroom teacher
plays the music one month prior to
the instruction so the students are
familiar with the piece. Each student
receives a journal with notes about
the composers, a music glossary and
blank pages for them to write and
sketch on. After the program is com-
pleted, the schools teachers are sur-
veyed by CAMA for the experience
of the program and its benefit for the
students.
Seven years ago, Joan joined
CAMA Fellows a year after her twins
were born and felt that she needed
to re-enter an adult social environ-
ment. She was impressed with Dr.
David Malvinni, the creator of the
school music curriculum. Davids
program was designed as three vol-
umes of eight monthly units cover-
ing Baroque to Post-Modern music
periods in each volume. He had
piloted the program at La Patera and
wanted to get the program into the
local schools. Joan and three fellow
women had music backgrounds and
transitioned into Davids program.
Joans music background was
started by her parents who believed
in music education. My mother was
a traveling music teacher between
schools and an accomplished pia-
nist before marrying my tone-deaf
father, who was still allowed to play
flute in his high school band. When
it came time for kids, they adopt-
ed four babies within five years
but requested that at least one of
the birth parents of each child had
learned to play an instrument. I
believe they got their wish because
when it came time to learning instru-
ments, we all started piano lessons
at age six and string instrument les-
sons by age seven or eight, and we
all excelled in music. My mom is
still teaching at age eighty and has
eight of eleven grandchildren who
have learned to play an instrument.
While in high school, I taught a
few beginning piano and violin stu-
dents and performed in the All-State
Honor Orchestra. I also joined the
Bakersfield Symphony as a violinist
and played with them for four years
until I transferred to UCLA. Though
I started college thinking I would
become a music therapist, I ended
up with my B.A. in Psychology,
which ultimately led to my Human
Resources career.
Outside of CAMA, she is a member
of The Lobero Theatre Associates,
and a member of the Montecito
Education Foundation (MEF),
which campaigns to raise endow-
ment funds for Montecito Union
School. Joan explains, What a lot
of residents dont realize is if that
basic aid status I previously referred
to goes away, the school has only
a one-year reserve to maintain the
current staff and programs as is.
After that, we would probably see
doubled classroom sizes, cut pro-
grams and a host of other fall-out.
Like any other non-profit organiza-
tion, having a healthy endowment
can provide many future years of the
same quality education our kids are
getting today. MJ

Random Act and Taxi Cab Confession
Mr. Alexander is the owner-
operater of Lord Voldemort
Taxi and Limousine Service
A
fter a hard days work, all I
wanted was a cold beer. Well,
a pizza and a foot massage
from Jennifer Aniston wouldve been
nice too, but I was willing to settle for
a cold beer. I stopped at Trader Joes
and bought a six-pack. Homeward
bound, I pulled up to the stop sign at
Chapala and Constance. An elderly
couple and when I say elderly, I mean
older than Betty White and Abe Vigoda
but younger than the Grand Canyon
were waiting to cross the intersection.
My Lord Voldemort voice said, Just
go but my Mother Theresa voice
said Dont you dare! I waved them
across and gazed longingly at the ice
cold six-pack on the passenger seat.
The couple put one cane in front of the
other and took off at the speed of Heinz
ketchup. Rather than cross Constance
Avenue and then catch their breath
before braving Chapala, they took the
more direct route, crossing diagonally.
Why deal with four high curbs and
two mean streets when you can cut the
obstacles in half?
Several of the other motorists lis-
tened to their Lord Voldemort voice.
Some honked their horns, and a few
refused to wait, swerving around the
couple. I looked in my rearview at the
irate driver behind me and her face
looked like an infected pimple about to
pop. I was beginning to enjoy myself.
When the dynamic duo finally reached
the safety of the sidewalk they clutched
each other as if theyd just scaled Mt.
Everest. I wanted that beer more than
Dodger fans want a new owner, but as
Congressman Hank Johnson of Georgia
might say, the exhausted couple looked
like Guam about to tip over. I made a
sharp left onto Chapala Street, parked,
and got out. Can I give you two kids a
ride somewhere?
Though it was obvious this pair
couldnt go another block unless it
was in the back of an ambulance, the
man, in typical male fashion, said, No,
thanks, I think we can make it.
The woman looked at me like I was
Fat Jesus. Thank, God. Yes!
I eyed my mid-sized Ford Ranger
truck with bucket seats and center con-
sole and scratched my head. I clear-
ly hadnt given this migration much
thought. Three would be more than
just a crowd; itd be impossible. I can
only take one at a time but Ill come
back for the second person.
Oh, no. The same lady who sec-
onds earlier looked at me like I was Fat
Jesus now looked at me like I was a Fat
Head. Well fit.
The lady made her way to the trucks
passenger door like a spry octogenar-
ian after a double shot of Metamucil.
Following a boost from me (where is
the proper hand position when boost-
ing an unacquainted gentlewoman into
your truck?), she scooted in as far as
she could and motioned to her hus-
band. Get in.
Her husband and I looked at the four
inches she allowed him. I dont think
Nonsense, she said. Hes thinner
than he looks.
Her husband squeezed in and with
half of his body hanging out, said,
Okay, slam the door!
I said, Are you kidding? Your hip
will snap like pencil lead.
Wait, the woman said. With the
help of my rearview mirror she hoisted
herself up so that half her booty sat
atop my center console.
Her husband scooted in a little fur-
ther and I carefully closed the door. I
hustled to the drivers side and saw
that this left me with about as much
room as the thirteenth herring in a
Kipper Snack tin, but somehow we all
packed in three people, two canes
and my six-pack of beer buried some-
where underneath the lady.
I said, Where we headed? Vegas?
Mimosa, the woman said. Today
is our sixty-first wedding anniversary
and were going there to celebrate. We
thought we could make it.
We made it last year, the man said.
I lucked out and found a parking
place right in front of the restaurant.
After unfolding and unpacking them I
asked, How will you get home?
Well call a cab, the woman said.
The man looked at me and said,
Unless youre available.
All I wanted was a cold beer. But I
got a lot more. MJ

topics as The Different Facets of Analytic

Bunch of Keys with Annie Bourneuf of

ob and Rachel Kolar, the
principals behind the rag-tag
Americana-vaudeville band
descriptively named Hes My Brother
Shes My Sister, do almost all the
bands interviews together. Even over
the phone, like earlier this week when
they hooked up from Silver Lake and
Ojai, respectively. And right from
the get-go just like in their X-like
harmonies onstage theres some
underlying tension, but theres also a
certain camaraderie that comes from a
childhood spent together.
Just on the subject of the bands
name which Rachel devised gets
right into the thick of things.
Rob: I didnt like it at first, but it
does have a certain charm to it... But it
was way too long. And I have a fond-
ness for psychedelia and I thought the
name was not of that ilk.
Rachel: But it is, but it is, but it
is
Rob: Maybe. I guess the name is
interpretable.
The push-pull and ultimate resolu-
tion pervades HMBSMS music, too,
as evidenced by the bands inescap-
ably compelling EP, their only official
calling card until a full-length disc
comes out next year. But the live
show is even better. Aided by upright
bassist Oliver Newell, tap-dancing
percussionist Lauren Brown and slide
guitarist Aaron Robinson, Brother-
Sister create a container that boasts a
bucketful of genres made complete by
colorful costumes and an actors eye
for theatricality a field, by the way,
they all have training in. That will be
apparent on Wednesday, when Hes
My Brother Shes My Sister return
to Santa Barbara for a Halloween-
themed gig at SOhO, complete with,
in Robs words, make up, blood,
costumes, lots of conceptual stuff, and
maybe some fun Halloween covers.
Our conversation went on for more
than half an hour and we were just
scratching the surface of what makes
this pair tick. Here are some excerpts.
Q. You seem to have found a balance
in your relationship, which can be dif-
ficult among family members. Whats the
process?
Rob: I think weve gone to both
extremes, really getting along and not
so much. We grew up together but we
also didnt. There were times I was
in boarding school in England, and
another time she was in Hong Kong.
Rachel: I think were getting older,
too. Rob and I like to think of our-
selves as very much in tune with
whats going on around the world. It
would be really hypocritical, especial-
ly right now, if we werent a reflection
of some sort of a harmony, a peace,
especially within a family. We sing
about this stuff.
Rob: Creatively, we tend to see eye-
to-eye. Even if the rest of the band
isnt sure about an idea, our visions
tend to correlate quite nicely even if
they seem obscure or weird; it usually
comes together.
Rachel: Were not twins by any
means, but we are cultivating our own
language where we can communicate
outside of words.
How did the group get together? You
all knew each other, right; it wasnt just
auditions?
Rob: Weve gone through some line-
ups. Satya, our previous cellist, is
doing really well with his acting, stay-
ing busy, so we only have him with
us once in a while. But then Oliver

Smart talk on the C word
Physician, cancer researcher and prize-
winning science writer Siddhartha
Mukherjee get down and dirty on
the nitty gritty of fghting the dreaded
disease in a public lecture titled Where
We Are on the War on Cancer. The talk
is based in part on his 2010 book The
Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography
of Cancer, for which he won the Pulitzer
Prize for nonfction. An assistant professor
of medicine at Columbia University and
staff physician at Columbia University
Medical Center, Dr. Mukherjee chronicles
the history of cancer and illuminates its
impact on the human race throughout
the centuries, examining the disease with
a cellular biologists precision, a historians
perspective and a biographers passion.
And its not nearly as dry as it sounds.
In fact, no less a source than Montecitos
own Oprah (or at least her magazine
O) called the book a compulsively
readable, surprisingly uplifting and vivid
tale. Thrilling, while the Boston Globe

CAMINO REAL MARKETPLACE
Hollister & Storke - GOLETA
CAMINO REAL
had been in our circle of friends for
a while. He brought him in and just
added these amazing colors.
Rachel: Lauren and I met at NYU
9/11 was our first day of school. So we
became immediate friends. We started
a theater company in L.A. years later,
and Oliver played in a rock musical
we were doing called The First Man on
Earth. Rob was doing the live sound,
so we were all together then.
Rob: Aaron was in the scene in the
neighborhood, an interesting charac-
ter youd see at parties. We hit it off
one late night, and were saying, We
should be in a band together. And
now we are one of those party prom-
ises that actually came true.
Rachel: Hes so great incorporating
theatrics into the show, playing his
slide guitar, an awesome psychedelic
sound.
Speaking of that, I hear so many influ-
ences in your music from Western
swing to rock and blues and country to
New York and L.A. How did it all come
together and manage to fit?
Rob: All from our different expe-
riences. Rachel and I love the late
seventies movement in N.Y., Velvet
Underground and Talking Heads. I
used to play on the L train in the sub-
way Obviously, we grew up in L.A.,
so theres this Southern California
thing... Then theres the spaghetti
western-psychedelic thing. My mom
grew up in the sixties, so we heard the
Mamas & Papas, folkie bands from
that era. That mixture just raveled into
one sound.
Rachel: Weve got the Jefferson
Airplane and Patsy Cline, but the
sound also comes from our experi-
mental theater company. Lauren and
I always had an approach that there
were beats we would hit in the play,
but also a looseness, which we loved
and honored. That transcended into
the band. Lauren has these very sim-
ple kicks, the hits, but we go around
that the looseness is intentional. You
can choose any genre and find it in
there.
About Lauren, its pretty unusual to
have a tap dancer as your main rhythm
section.
Rob: Yeah, having her tap dance and
play the drums simultaneously is tak-
ing it to a different level. Its simple
rhythm harking back to original rock
n roll, which Rachel and I both love
and grew up with. Shes able to really
nail it.
Rachel: Drummers can be so eager
to throw in fills, but Lauren is really
aware of the space in between the
beats she never overplays.
Lets talk about some of the songs, and
we have to start with Tales That I Tell.
Rachel: I had a real love affair, not
even with me, just with drinking. I
dont drink anymore, and the song
was a reflection on these three major
relationships in my early twenties,
when they all seem like such grand
experiences. Each verse is about a
different boyfriend. They all ended in
love and despair, but I realized it was
me I was the most fun person and
totally the most destructive person
in the room Everything changed
when I stopped drinking. My whole
life turned around. Thats when we
started the band. And that was really
our first song together.
Rob: It really triggered the band.
The song made me incredibly inspired
to keep going with it.
Tell me about some of the others.
Rob: How am I Going to Get Back
Home is kind of on the other end of
what Rachel was saying. I wrote it just
when I started getting into drinking
and having a fun time with it as a
release. Its about finding the humor
in those situations, and taking it fur-
ther into a psychological element of
letting go.
Rachel: Its a breakdown.
Rob: Yeah, in the literal sense. And
also in letting go of regimented way
of seeing things... I also have a real
fondness for The House That Isnt
Mine because of the situation: I made
it in the place thats in the song. I was
house sitting up in this creepy place
up in the canyon and there was a huge
thunderstorm. I just started playing
it and we recorded it on my laptop,
which was the only thing that still had
power. I was authentically quite terri-
fied when I was singing it.
Backstage at Trinity
Peter Bradley Adams first came
to attention as one-half of the duo
Eastmountainsouth, which was signed
right after forming to the very visible
label Dreamworks SKG, with Mitchell
Froom producing the CD. Adams was
fresh out of a gig writing for TV and
films, which hed landed after get-
ting a graduate degree in music. Fast
forward a decade or so, and Adams
now has five solo CDs under his
belt, each indicating his progression
as a musician whose soft-spoken voice
and often gentle arrangement belie a
furious talent.
Adams performs Saturday night
at the Trinity Backstage Coffeehouse
series, a show that was added when
a Santa Barbara couple that donated
enough to his Kickstarter campaign
for his latest CD decided to transform
their earned house concert into a more
public event.
Q. Trace the evolution of your career
as a solo singer-songwriter. How do you
think youve grown?
A. When I left [Eastmountainsouth],
I really got to start over. Id never
performed before that. So it was new
to get up and play songs by myself.
Frankly I wasnt very good at it then.
But Im learning. Dont get me wrong,
I believe in what Im doing, but its not
unheard of for an artist to have per-
petual dissatisfaction it keeps them
going forward Im maybe a little
too humble or insecure. I feel like Im
still evolving. Im still trying to figure
out my voice as a writer, singer and
performer. Hopefully each record is
getting closer to that. Its not like Im
doing wildly different styles. Theyre
all pretty recognizably me. But Im
honing in. The thing is, Im never sat-
isfied. Im always feeling frustrated,
trying to get it right which would
also describe my general fate.
Do we get a good idea of who you are
by listening to these records over the last
6-7 years?
You may get some info. Im not a
totally confessional songwriter, but I
am drawing on experiences Ive had
and people I know. But Im also telling
stories and making stuff up. It doesnt
mean its not truthful. But Im not real-
ly comfortable having some journal
entry into a song I want it to resonate
bigger than that and have meaning
for people beyond the situations that
led to the song. I do have some songs
about very specific people in my life,
but I dont know if they even know it.
I hope they dont.
Too many singer-songwriters focus only
on the words and therefore the songs and/
or melody constructions suffer. Do you
credit your inventiveness to your formal
training? Do the melodies just appear or
is it hard work?
I come about it through a lot of
work. I dont finish songs play them
live unless I like them. I dont have a
bunch of songs lying around I can use.
Sometimes a little phrase, a chunk, or
a verse might come quickly but the
rest of me is really editing it, shaping
and making sure it works with the
words. It has to feel perfect to me.
I have to get it to a point where its
really solid.
So has your education helped with that?
Maybe. But I think that it also prob-
ably gets in my way. A lot of that stuff
is up in your head, and songwriting is
an intuitive thing. Youre not thinking
about music theory or how its done.
But maybe being exposed to a lot of
other music, maybe that has influ-
enced how I write melody. I think a
lot about a sequence of musical events
and how you get from one to another.
I dont think thats common in singer-
songwriters. But generally Im trying
to escape that stuff that I learned.
Pop Tarts
Were totally tight on space this

Hubbard Street Dance
Chicago
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago
artistic director Glenn Edgerton had
quite an impressive resum even
before he took over the Chicago-
based company back in 2009, hav-
ing begun his dancing career at The
Joffrey Ballet where he performed
leading roles for a dozen years. He
next hooked up with the Nederlands
Dans Theater first as a principal
dancer and later as artistic director, a
role he kept for a decade.
An acclaimed force in contempo-
rary dance, Hubbard has created and
performed a diverse repertoire for
more than 30 years, a mid-size com-
pany of 16 dancers known for versa-
tility and strength. A potential last
minute change in Hubbard Street
Dance Chicagos program at the
Granada on Tuesday had Edgerton
hesitant to discuss details, but he did
dish on his and the companys over-
all approach.
Q. You had quite a background before
coming to Chicago, dancing with the
Joffrey and then at Nederlands. What
brought you to Hubbard? What appealed
to you about the company?
A. Its always been a forward
thinking company, which is really
my mindset. If you look at Joffrey
in the sixties to eighties, it was
always a progressive company. My
mentor Robert Joffrey was really
quite an innovator; Ive always
idolized and respected what he did.
[Nederlands] Jiri Kylian is also of
that mindset a choreographer of
the times interested in progressing
the art form. I thought that helped
me to lead Hubbard Street into the
next phase, continuing the spirit of
creating and innovating dance in
new ways.
Can you talk about the dancers at
Hubbard? What special qualities do they
have?
When I arrived at HSDC, I thought
they were incredibly gifted. My goal
is to tap into that potential and chal-
lenge them in the most inspired way
possible. I felt very strongly that all
of them were not only talented but
also intelligent and smart and gen-
erous to the art form and the work
and wonderfully disciplined. So it
felt like the right place for me, and
I was happy to be chosen. The most
well-rounded dancers are the best
dancers, and [ours] have the ability
to do everything. Theyre all clas-
sically trained, but can move and
create a sense of abandon, hold their
own against anybody. Their range is
incredible; theyre much more ath-
letic than a typical ballerina and are
able to adapt to all the choreogra-
phers.
Youve brought over several pieces
from your time at Nederlands. How do
they translate to Hubbard? Do you sim-
ply try to replicate the experience?
Choreographically it gets very spe-
cific. Step for step its recreated in
a physical sense as much as pos-
sible directly from the source. We
try as much as we can to recreate
not replicate movements. But
with anything, if you have a play,
say Shakespeare, there are many
different interpretations because of
the actor portraying the role. Thats
where it becomes different on dance
too. The individuals in HSDC bring
their own thoughts and ideals to the
work and the way those pieces are
being coalesced by our staff adds
another layer of complexity to the
craft. Thats part of the new reason
to show the work strong artists
representing work like this make it
interesting to see again. MJ
Old minds are like old horses; you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order John Adams

director Glenn Edgerton
