Editorial by James Buckley

The Election Results

There 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 effectively 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. They’ll 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 BallThe elections have held sway over our concerns for the past few weeks and

we’ve been so absorbed in the various campaigns that we’ve 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 Parker’s Doubletree Resort. It’s a military dress or black-tie optional event, inspired by Belgian-born All-American patriot, the late Pierre Claeyssens. This year’s 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 101st Airborne NCO Arthur Petersen. It’s not too late find a seat at what is always a moving and enjoyable event. Please call 805-969-0695 or email [email protected] if you’d like to attend. For other more family-oriented events, please see the Veterans Weekend ad on page 19 of this issue.

The Drowsy ChaperoneSanta Barbara High School’s 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 you’ve 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, you’ll no doubt find additional joy in The Drowsy Chaperone.

Filled as it seems to be (I only know this secondhand; I’ll be attending this weekend) with big production numbers, dance routines from the ‘twenties (Charleston, foxtrots, tangos), silly puns, and what they’re 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 show’s 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 ThingMontecito 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 Here’s The Scoop gelato shop at 1187 Coast Village Road, where parents Ellie and Bob Patterson will be pleased to record your donation. •MJ

Andrew Firestone’s Marathon Bust

Monte ito Miscellany

by Richard Mineards

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

Superstorm 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

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Health First

I don’t want better cell phone coverage, nor do I want to risk the health of my family for Verizon.

I’d expect our elected officials 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 first. I’m shocked that officials 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 SainMontecito

It’s 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 tomorrow’s 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 election’s 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 KadriMontecito

We need to Stop Verizon and AT&T

I don’t 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 can’t 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 isn’t 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?

Let’s stop this before it is too late.Greg SainMontecito

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 what’s the point of your voting for or endorsing Mr. Romney?

Do you think any influence the MJ has goes into another area or state? I’ve never cast a vote to waste one and never will. I ended up voting on principle and won’t be swayed by anyone else’s 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 you’ve never seen Mrs. Biden, she’s

Regards,Ben BurnedMontecito(Editor’s note: You are certainly correct

about Mr. Obama winning California, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t express our opposite opinion. But, you’ve got a point, it is certainly a “wasted” vote. – J.B.)

Vote For SanityIn 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 nation’s 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

On Tuesday, November 6 at noon, a brush fire broke out in Montecito’s 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 MFPD’s 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 week’s issue.

Beautification Day 2012

Hundreds turned out at the Upper Village Green on Saturday, November 3rd for Montecito Association’s Beautification Day. The sun was shin-ing as local kids and adults donned chocolate brown Beautification t-shirts and cleaned up Montecito’s trails, beaches, and streets, before honoring a few of the people who help keep our community beautiful.

MarBorg provided a dumpster at the Village Green for volunteers to fill up with garbage. With the help of his grand-nieces, Dana Newquist drove his antique fire engine around town to pick up bags filled and left by volunteers.

Beautification awards were given to Paul Musgrove and Montecito Community Foundation, who are responsible for Montecito’s iconic street signs. Nina Terzian was also honored for her Miramar Coral Reef Garden, as well as Gary and Lyn Hock’s hand-painted gate on East Valley Road.

First District Supervisor Salud Carbajal presented Bill Palladini with the award for Citizen of the Year. Former MA president and Land Use Chair, and current MBAR board member, Palladini was honored for his commitment to Montecito, specifically

Seen Around Town by Lynda Millner

Table Of Life

It was a first at Pacifica 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 20th 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 Foodbank’s 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 wasa “big kid” though and filled that role. Mom had to keep both of us in line. Her top two rules: no snickering during church and no messing upher kitchen. Some days, I think Mom felt like she had two children, instead of one.

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

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

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

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

Call today and we’ll help you understandwhat memory loss is and how your parent

can thrive and enjoy life at Áegis.

During the luncheon, an anonymous 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 Foodbank’s work for the last 30 years.

Also lauded and introduced was Marshall Chrostowski, the land manager for both Pacific Graduate Institute’s campuses. Since 1989, he has renovated the long abandoned

grounds and orchards off Lambert Road turning it into today’s para-dise. Many people don’t realize that Pacifica’s garden produce is for sale. Students and staff are about half of their regular customers. You can check out the garden’s 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; I’m saying we need to feed the body,” Marshall explained. I say, “Eat fresh food, drink good wine and be merry. Cheers!”

Celebrating 20 YearsThe CALM (Child Abuse Listening

Mediation) Honorary Chairpersons Mary Ellen Trainor Zemeckis and Tab Hunter invited everyone to help them celebrate the 20th 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 canapés 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 doesn’t 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. I’ve always wanted to say that.” She also had a banner draped across her that said, “The Boss,” which went with her tiara. But this evening’s 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 UntriedFor those who will inherit my remains,

expect no candle that hasn’t been burned, no book not frayed, no furniture not lounged upon, no shelf uncovered with treasures, and no clothes that haven’t 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 Maxi’s sixth book and she also runs a writers’ group weekly in her home. This book is sure to be a good read. Enjoy! •MJ

“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 ABC’s The Bachelor a decade ago, it would have been his third marathon, having participated in last year’s Santa Barbara race and,

prior to that, San Francisco, where he used to live.

But New York would have been the pinnacle, he admits.

“I’ve 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

While growing up in Nebraska, I didn’t 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 I’d even want to be so obsessively connected. But I con-fess… I’ve joined the hordes of zom-bies who’re 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 21st 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 husband’s not much swayed by emotional arguments. He grew up in the icy wasteland of Québec where the slightest show of emotion can cause parts of one’s 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 one’s spouse has inherited his father’s 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 wasn’t 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 who’d 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 wasn’t 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 wasn’t until my husband’s 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 we’re off to the beach with dogs and these magical mobile devic-es. On the way there, I’ll delete emails from the AARP. On the way home, I’ll 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. (We’re 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 we’re about half way through The Pardoner’s Tale, we’re certain of it. Now it takes only a dip into the bawdy sexual hilar-ity of The Miller’s Tale, and one of the best portraits of a woman ever, The Wife of Bath’s Tale, we appreci-ate why John Dryden (1631—1600), the dominant writer/critic of The Reformation, said of Chaucer and The Canterbury Tales, “Here is God’s 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 Chaucer’s 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. You’ll 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 Lehrer’s 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

never the Twain Shall Meet?

On Entertainmentby Steven Libowitz

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

Hal 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 Holbrook’s 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 he’s got moxie. Except right then he was a bit sore.

“We’re all scarred and bloody from this terrible election process that’s been attacking us,” Holbrook said right off the bat, sounding like Twain himself might’ve if faced with scores of political commercials every hour on TV. “I’m glad there’s only two more days.”

Here are some excerpts from our talk.

Q. You’ve 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 it’s 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 what’s 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 don’t update the mate-rial. I don’t have to.

When I first started doing Twain, I was terribly intimidated. I wanted to get everything right. I didn’t want to cheat. I didn’t want to make anything up. You can’t do it anyway. The few who have tried to write like him have been a joke. So it’s been a hard fast rule for me to maintain accuracy in the quotes… and as it turns out, it’s one of the strongest effects of the show, because it’s his words. The audience updates it for me. That can have a very powerful effect…

Here’s 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 it’s distorted the whole market. You can’t get a thing done in Washington these days without cash on delivery.”

Wow.Wow, indeed. It’s 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 it’s 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 don’t understand,” that’s true today. We are a bunch of poorly informed citizens, because we don’t listen to anybody else’s opinion. That’s true all across the country, and I know, because I’ve been travelling for seventy years and it’s terrible right now…

I’m going on about politics because the election is near, but the Mark Twain show isn’t 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 week’s 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. It’s a surprise to me. But it’s been true all along… [Anyway], New York audiences think they’re

smart, but they’re not the best. They start out with that “We’ve seen every-thing attitude,” which is lousy. It’s better when people come in willing to think, respond and laugh. I played Yuma, Arizona, this fall. I’m think-ing, “Holy mackerel, it’s going to be a disaster! These people down there on Mexican border won’t 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. It’s 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 I’m so enraged at the mendacity and the cute little performances that these charac-ters who call themselves news people have assumed now, like they’re movie stars, all googly eyes at the camera. I can’t 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 can’t wait to get on the stage the next day to do Mark Twain.

At eighty-seven, your career isn’t slow-ing down at all. Is there such a thing as retirement for you?

No! Why the hell would I do that? I’d probably slit my throat if I had to quit. I don’t play golf. I don’t want to… I am doing a lot of writing. I’m finishing the first pass through my second book; I’ve got over eight hun-dred pages. I have to go back and read it and find out what it’s all about. So I don’t have time to retire.

Rhinestone Roundup

Our Lady of Mount Carmel School’s 29th Annual Fundraiser, titled the

Rhinestone Roundup, is taking place this Saturday, November 10 at the Carriage House Museum in Santa Barbara. Funds raised at the event 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 financial difficulties or religious affiliation. Approximately fifty percent of the students receive financial 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 school’s families. The Teacher’s 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. It’s 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 year’s Rhinestone Roundup auc-tion the most successful fundraiser in the school’s 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 Party Rentals, Westland Produce and Joe and Jackie Kalinda of Paige 23 Winery.

For more information, visit www.mountcarmelschool.net/parents/spe cial-events/auction-2012. Founded in 1944, the Parish School for Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church currently enrolls 218 students. •MJ

Westmont professors Jeff 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 first-come, first-served basis. For more information, please call 565-6051. The lecture, “Origins: A Biologist and a Biblical Scholar Discuss Genesis and Scientific 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 bachelor’s 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-lor’s 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 President’s Breakfast in Santa Barbara to promote discussion and consideration of current issues among local community leaders.

Much Ado about ‘Much Ado’

Westmont College Festival Theatre’s production of Much Ado About Nothing made a big splash on audiences who continued to pack Porter Theatre through the final weekend. Paige Tautz (Beatrice) and Mak Manson (Benedick) stole the show, finely bal-ancing doses of physical comedy and slapstick. The last three shows (November 1-3) drew 490 people total, two shy of complete sellouts at a the-atre with a maximum capacity of 164.

First-year students Kendall Shurance (Hero) and Connor Bush convincingly explored a wide-range of

“It was thought between us we’d raise around $150,000, with my sup-porters raising $4,000,” he says.

Instead of pounding the sidewalks and streets of the Big Apple, Andrew, who was accompanied on the trip by his wife, Ivana, spent Sunday, the day of the marathon, volunteering for the Aids charity, God’s Love We Deliver.

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 school’s 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 I’ve 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 can’t wait!”

Fires of FaithCarpinteria 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.

Sexton’s AwakeningIf 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.

“I’ve really lost my sense of left and right. I don’t believe in red or blue or any of that anymore,” Sexton said over the telephone late last week, four days before last Tuesday’s election and just 72 hours after Hurricane Sandy hit his native East Coast. “We’re all brothers and sisters. It sounds kind of hippy-dippy, but it’s 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 Springfield’s 1967 hit “For What It’s Worth” and it’s refrain, “Time to stop, say ‘What’s that sound?’ Everybody look what’s 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 Sexton’s shows reveal themes beyond

the sweet melodies and stories. “I’ve been saying for the last couple

of years that we’re in the new ’sixties,” Sexton explained. “It’s 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 they’re all singing in three-part harmony without regard to politics. In that moment, they don’t

care about sexual orientation or how they vote on issues, or who’s rich or poor. We’re 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 today’s world, one that’s more polarized than ever and linked by Facebook more than rallies?

“I know it’s possible,” Sexton said “Music is a magical force… It’s really just about waking up. All I’m 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. I’d nod and smile and not listen to you at all. I’m trying to lose that polarization within myself and in doing so I’m learning that I have a lot in common with everyone. I’m not trying to keep the faith; I’d 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. He’s 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 don’t 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 they’re in a different key, or the tempo’s changed, or I’ll go off into a Zeppelin riff in the middle of it. That keeps it fun for me… I really

don’t know what I’m going to do until the moment. It’s 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. It’s like being paid to play baseball. It’s always good fun.”

What’s That Sound?It still ain’t Austin’s 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 Friday’s 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 year’s fest, take a look back and view plans for the future.

Q. It’s 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 we’ve had a good track record there. World domination doesn’t happen until the fifth year.

You’ve moved the conference part to The Savoy, and it’s only one day this year.

It was two days the first two years. But last year was only one day, too. We’re still growing in that area, and we didn’t want to compete with ourselves with the block party on Saturday. So Friday makes sense for the confer-ence since it’s 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 that’s 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?

That’s a good question. Like we’ve said since the beginning, SXSW is the ideal way to explain what we’re trying to do for people who have no idea what this is. It’s like a film fes-tival for music. But that’s where the similarity ends. They’ve 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, it’s a lot easier for bars and clubs to not book bands. So we have to work hard to make sure it doesn’t go away. That’s why we’re here, to give Santa Barbara a voice and showcase the town. We’ll 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, who’s been here every year before 2012 – he’s 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 that’s doing really well on their own – and put them in the battle of the bands and they got to play in Ventura Warped Tour’s festival this year.

Only In America1) 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 country’s Constitution be thought of as “extrem-ists.”

7) Only in America, could you need to present a driver’s 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 doesn’t 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 don’t 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 can’t 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 system’s 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 Cottage’s 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, Cottage’s 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 Cottage’s 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, Cottage’s 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. Let’s 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 physician’s 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 cardiologist’s 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 Barbara’s. 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.

Paulina ConnSanta Barbara(Editor’s note: Wow. Thanks for all the

details, but we’re still for a “free market” solution to nearly all the difficulties you outline – J.B.)

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 administration’s 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 Children’s Center Gala

Montecito Insiderby Ann Pieramici

The 2012 Chinese Water Dragon represents an auspicious year according to the zodiac

calendar, and since it comes around just once every six decades, Storyteller Children’s Center took this as a sign – literally – adopting the elements of water and the fiery dragon to serve as inspiration for this year’s fundraising gala. The Water Dragon symbolizes strength, wisdom and patience, attributes that Storyteller embodies.

“With patience and sensitivity, Storyteller Children’s 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 year’s gala raised more money than in previous years while also exceeding fundrais-ing goals. Storyteller board member Julia Rodgers says, “It’s 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 Insider’s 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 Barbara’s top eateries.

The décor 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 Dragon’s 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 & Vineyards, Louise & Tim Casey, Nancy & Tom Crawford, Deckers Outdoor Corporation, Tiffany & Frank Foster, Elizabeth & Lee Gabler, Marisa & Brett Grimes, JPMorgan Chase, Patty & John MacFarlane, Rincon Technology/Bartling & Kelly Families, Julia & J.B. Rodgers, Elizabeth & Kenny Slaught and The Wood-Claeyssens Foundation. Tamara Jensen of I.D.O. Events planned the gala and was also a sponsor. •MJ

Noted humanitarian and interna-tional business executive Marilyn Tam, who rose from being a child laborer in China and eventually landed major executive roles with Nike, Reebok and Aveda, recounted her inspiring story, before the new inscribed crys-tal awards were presented to Perri Harcourt, Santa Barbara News-Press social columnist Lorraine Wilson and her daughter, Stephanie, Nancyann Failing and employee volunteers of Deckers Outdoor Corporation.

Among those turning out for the cause were Leslie Ridley-Tree, Susan Keller, Eleanor Van Cott, Lois Rosen,

Catherine Gee, Anne Towbes, Paige Beard, Carol Marsch, Victoria Hines, Sigrid Toye, Mary Ellen Tiffany and Diana MacFarlane...

Angel Flight WestSocial gridlock gripped the

Biltmore’s La Marina Room when local doctor, Roger Dunham, was honored by Angel Flight West, a non-profit that arranges free air transpor-tation in response to healthcare and other compelling human needs.

Roger is the founding chairman of the charity’s Santa Barbara council.

His successor, Martin Bell, says since 1983 the group has flown 54,000 missions with non-medical emergen-cies, with pilots 18 to 80, from auto mechanics to airline executives, in 13 western states.

“With 5,000 airports across the country, many in very rural areas, the service is invaluable, particular-ly allowing people to get hospital treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be possible because of the remote areas where they live.”

Those adding to the applause included Larry Crandell, Keiko Dunham, Barbara Burger, Melinda Johansson, Sally Jordan, Si and Karen Jenkins, Anthony Borgatello, John Blankenship, Fred and Linda Gluck and, Mark Wolfer...

Danuta’s DebutSanta Fe jeweler Danuta Alyassin

has just opened an outpost on Coast Village Road.

The Polish-born bling queen, who

has had an eponymous New Mexico store for two decades, fell under the spell of our rarefied enclave when she first visited a year ago.

“I was suitably mesmerized,” she told me at the carat emporium’s open-ing bash. “It is a very attractive locale 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.”

Danuta and designer, Jonathan Duran, will certainly be racking up the frequent flyer mileage jetting between the two stores...

Among those quaffing the cham-pagne and snaffling the canapés as they did some early holiday shopping were Arlene Montesano, Eva Hermes, Lisa Hearst, Naomi Firestone, Ginger Wolf, Elizabeth Slaught, Lori Miklis, Francesca Hunter, Hollye Jacobs and Cayetana Conrad.

A percentage of the proceeds went to the popular local charity, the Dream Foundation, which holds its annual “Celebrations of Dreams” gala, with local singer Katy Perry and American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, at the Bacara next week.

No wonder Thomas Rollerson, the non-profit’s founder, came over to check out the bustling baggage beano...

World Odyssey Seven thousands miles is a long way

to come for a cocktail party, but trav-el executive Frank Kenyon-Slaney didn’t hesitate when his Worcester, England, company, World Odyssey, decided to open a branch in our Eden by the Beach under the aegis of Betsy Peace, a longtime Montecito photog-rapher.

“We have a great many American clients and it seemed a natural pro-gression to open a branch here,” he explained at a launch bash at Villa Sevillano, the splendiferous 22-acre estate owned by New York entrepre-neur, Michael Rothbard, just a short gallop from the polo club.

Guests included former National Geographic editor-in-chief Bill Allen – who is now reportedly romancing new Montecito resident Tipper Gore, ex-wife of vice president Al Gore –, Charles de l’Arbre, Barry and Jelinda DeVorzon, and their son, Matthew...

Susan Channels EdithLegendary 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 Head’s 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 ChowderThe third annual Santa Barbara

Chowder Fest at the Montecito

Country Club, benefitting the Legal Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara 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 Chuck’s Waterfront Grill a close sec-ond.

With 22 eateries and ten wineries participating, foundation executive director Ellen Goodstein couldn’t be happier.

“It took a while for the event to build and get buzz, but I think we can safely say we’ve now definitely arrived. There are now six brew-eries involved, double last year’s entry.”

Silent auction prizes included an autographed L.A. Angels baseball, and seats to the L.A. Lakers and L.A. Dodgers.

Glassware GuruIt wasn’t 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 company’s 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 museum’s “Salon” series, were given a presentation box of glasses as a memento of the occasion.

I’ll drink to that...

SHERIFF’S BLOTTER

Ring Stolen from Olive Mill HomeMonday, 29 October, 4:29 pm – Deputy Lampe was dispatched to Olive Mill

Road on report of a burglary. The owner of the home reported that she had spent the last four days searching her residence for an antique ring she believed to be stolen. The last time she remembered seeing the ring was on October 16, before leaving town for several days. She had placed the ring in a jewelry 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.

For more information about the

125th Anniversary Celebration at El Montecito Presbyterian Church, please contact the church office at 805-969-5041 or visit the website at www.elmopres.org. •MJ

of their way to be cool can find ways to get to know each other and open up in each other’s hometowns. Arranging gig swaps is important.

What are you most excited about this year, bands or speakers?

I’m really excited to hear Chuck D, the hip-hop icon and legend, talking about what he’s 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. I’m 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 I’m going to see Blackalicious at Velvet Jones and Saul Williams, a great hip-hop poet, at SOhO.

But the big names don’t 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 won’t be disappointed. You will discover something new in a way you might not at SXSW because

it’s so big you’re too busy seeing corporate stuff. We’re much more organic; it’s easier to stumble in and see something you’ll be surprised by.

Tickets to New Noise cost $55 for a full festival pass, $40 for three-night club only, and $25 for the conference only; individual tickets, if available, are on sale for each venue each night ranging from $7-$30. Get details, tickets, a full sched-ule and more information online at www.newnoisesb.org.

Focus on FilmEven as the Oscar-worthy movies

are arriving – including this week-end’s opening of Lincoln, which director Steven Spielberg views as an elixir for the just-ended bruis-ing election season – plenty of themed movie events continue to

hit area screens. OUTrageous: The Santa Barbara Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Film Festival arrives at Metro 4, exhibiting more than two dozen features and short films over a four-day weekend begin-ning Thursday and featuring lots of filmmakers and parties. UCSB A&L’s tribute to Montecito resident Kirk Douglas concludes with Spartacus showing on Wednesday at the Pollock Theater, but that same venue also hosts a revival of Dead Poets Society with screenwriter Tom Schulman on hand for a Q&A session, kicking off a new season of “Script to Screen,” on Thursday. And The Alliance for Living and Dying Well’s series of weekly screenings followed by a facilitated discussion at Unitarian Society continues with The Visitor on November 9. •MJ

Recovering from surgery can be a long and arduous journey. Painful incisions and inflammation 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.

On a warm evening last Wednesday, over one thousand trick-or-treaters and their parents traversed Coast Village Road for Coast Village Business Association’s annual Halloween extravaganza. Business owners and their staff 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 family’s hotel next year. “We took a hiatus, but we will be back bigger than ever next year!” he told us.

Here’s 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.

For the second year, Ghost Village Road featured a Flash Mob dancing to “Thriller,” headed by Janet Reineck (photo by Joanne A. Calitri)

First Place: Dawson Fuss (Montecito Union School, age 8) as a turtle from The Master of Disguise. The winning costume was the youngster’s 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 hasn’t 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 fledgling 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-$65 INFO: (800) CHUMASH or www.chumashcasino.com

‘To be’, for 2 nights – Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre touring ensemble has found a happy home with UCSB’s 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, they’re taking on Hamlet, the Bard’s 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 – he’s still a university student, in fact. The Globe’s Hamlet has drawn rave reviews around the world, with Britain’s 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

Dijo’s 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 fits perfectly with Dijo’s 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 Joyce’s 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 first 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 Theater, upstairs in Paseo Nuevo mall COST: $22 general, $18 students INFO: 963-0408 or www.centerstagetheater.org

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9

‘Shine’ on – Melanie Marnich’s 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 fifteen 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 fight 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, 2pm Sunday, 8pm November 13-16, and 2 & 8pm November 17 WHERE: Performing Arts Theater, UCSB campus COST: $13-$17 INFO: 893-7221 or www.theaterdance.ucsb.edu

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9

Chamber west – Camerata Pacifica already boasts two of members of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center as principal artists in violists Richard O’Neill and clarinetist José Franch Ballester. Now, their colleague on harp, Bridget Kibbey, is being featured on the Santa Barbara chamber music ensemble’s 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 figures she was getting from it” – will be heard on Debussy’s 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 Sacrée et Danse Profane – have a Debussy link: André Caplet was Debussy’s orchestrator and his Conte Fantastique is written on

the tale of Edgar Allan Poe’s “Masque of the Red Death,” and we’ll also hear Jolivet’s Chant de Linos and Ravel’s Introduction & Allegro. In addition to Kibbey and O’Neill, the players include Adrian Spence (flute), 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 ($22 at 1pm) INFO: 884-8410 or www.cameratapacifica.org

Hey, hey! Where’s Davy – Somehow it seems a little strange and more than bad timing to call the current Monkees tour a reunion when it’s missing lead singer and heartthrob Davy Jones, who died earlier this year. But on the other hand, it’s also the first 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 film clips of Jones as a tribute during the concert. Either way, the group’s longevity if not its musicality demands some respect. And what’s wrong with a little guilty pleasure once in a while? WHEN: 8pm WHERE: Arlington Theatre, 1317 State Street COST: $35-$52 INFO: 963-4408 or www.thearlingtontheatre.com

Veterans’ day events – The Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Museum is a logical ground zero for nearly all of the events honoring those who have served in America’s armed forces, including a parade with a special fly-over featuring 16 different vintage and modern aircraft in several formations overhead. Elsewhere, former “Hanoi Hilton” prisoner of

war Col. John Fer represents the first Vietnam veteran to serve as keynote speaker at the annual Military Ball, while Arthur Petersen, US Army 101st Airborne, who landed in Normandy on D-Day, is the first private honored with a “Greatest Generation” Award. Also, a vintage WWII Army jeep leads the way for the start of the fourth annual Santa Barbara International Marathon (featuring runners from all 50 states), now cosponsored by the Claeyssens museum, and United States Army Apache Helicopter pilot Captain Carolyn Alexa Wagnild, who just returned from deployment in Afghanistan in May 2012 will perform the Missing Man Formation Service at the ball to honor two of her fallen comrades.

French festival – Camerata Pacifica launches the local Francophile fixation 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 flutist Demarre McGill, who solos in both Debussy’s Syrinx and Ibert’s Concerto for Flute and Orchestra. Syrinx, for unaccompanied flute, was written exactly 99 years ago as incidental music to French writer and translator Gabriel Mourey’s new three-act dramatic poem on the ancient tale of Psyche. Debussy’s 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 flutist of the Seattle Symphony – returns for Ibert’s 20-minute concerto. The concert concludes with Saint-Saëns’ Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78, “Organ,” the French symphonic masterpiece. WHEN: 8pm tonight, 3pm tomorrow WHERE: Granada Theatre, 1214 State Street COST: $25-$95 (students $10) INFO: 899-2222/www.granadasb.org or www.thesymphony.org


‘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 museum’s park entrance atrium. Kersels is best known for his installation Tumble Room (2001), inspired by the scene in the Fred Astaire film 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. Today’s 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 indefinitely WHERE: 1130 State Street COST: event free; regular museum admission is $9 general, $6 seniors/students, free under 6 INFO: 884-6454 or www.sbmuseart.org •MJ
