The Rising Price of Water

Water, even in Montecito, has traditionally been our cheapest utility, behind electricity, natural gas and cable TV as a drag on the family pocketbook. Next year, water users in Montecito and Summerland

will see a 16.3% increase in both meter service charges and variable water usage fees, followed by increases of 7.4% in each of the following four years. That means that over the next five years, Montecito Water District (MWD) customers will see a 55% increase in their water bills for the same amount of water used.

Single-family residential users, who account for 94% of all MWD customers, will see their water bills increase from an average of $2,089 a year to $3,238 a year at the end of five years. Over the same period, large users like Casa Dorinda will pay $164,000 a year for water compared to their current bill of $104,000. Westmont will pay $140,000 compared to $90,000. Birnam Wood Golf Club will pay $228,000 compared to $147,000 today. Oprah will pay $153,000 compared to her current bill of $99,000. Residents on fixed incomes and the 37 agricultural users, who need low water costs and low energy costs to stay in business, will be impacted the most.

State Water Project (SWP)Long-time residents of Montecito recall the four-year drought from 1986 to

1990. Lake Cachuma became a pond holding only 20% of its normal capac-ity. Gibraltar, which provides 30% of the City of Santa Barbara’s water, went completely dry. Water trucks from Ventura and points south plied the streets of Montecito, selling water to panicked homeowners.

In 1991, frightened voters on the South Coast approved construction of the Coastal Branch of the State Water Project as an emergency water supply buf-fer against future drought. Voters were told that for $270 million, the water agencies in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties would be linked to the California Aqueduct for the treatment and delivery of state water. When construction was completed in 1997, costs had jumped to $600 million. After all costs of financing, maintenance and operations through 2030 are included, the total cost of the SWP will have ballooned to $1.76 billion. Alarmingly, if Jerry Brown’s proposed Twin Tunnels project, with its estimated cost of $24 to $60 billion is approved, those costs would automatically and arbitrarily be added onto current SWP debt, unless MWD can find a legal precedent to opt out of this new open-ended cost exposure.

This year, tiny MWD will pay $5.3 million off the top to fund its share of SWP fixed costs, regardless of whether or not MWD uses any SWP water or not. The problem is this leaves just $8.4 million in revenue for MWD to fund $12 million in operating expenses. Since 1998, MWD has spent $67 million for its share of the fixed costs of the Coastal Branch hookup. MWD still owes another $88 million to be paid off by 2035, plus the cost of any SWP water used.

Since 1998, MWD has used only a trickle of its SWP allocation. With 20/20 hindsight, many feel that the SWP connection has been an expensive and dubi-ous drought insurance program. The decision to use SWP as the primary back-up was a regional choice where MWD had very little influence. The alternative to continued SWP participation could be the re-activation of the Santa Barbara desalination plant as an emergency backup water choice.

Why Higher Costs?Montecito’s not-for-profit water district is completely self-sustaining. All rev-

enues flow from fees and charges. There are no tax revenues. Historically, MWD has used bonds to fund capital improvements, but its borrowing capacity and credit rating have been severely limited by its SWP indebtedness. To reduce its long-term debt, MWD has opted to fund routine replacement projects on a pay-as-you-go basis. For larger capital improvements such as MWD’s $10 million share of the $20 million Ortega Reservoir cover, or MWD’s $4 million share of the $20 million City of Santa Barbara Cater Treatment Plant ozone facility, MWD will use long-term debt.

The 2013-14 rate increase of 16.3% is expected to generate an additional $2 million in income next year for MWD. The added revenue will be used to off-set increased operating costs, provide financing for capital programs like the

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

Montecito residents were snookered way back in 1991, when we were convinced to

hook up to the Coastal Branch of the State Water Project. Residents were understandably concerned about a drought that had hit the South Coast, and the price tag didn’t seem all that onerous; state officials told us it would cost the participating Central Coast Water Authority (CCWA), made up of eight Santa Barbara County public water agencies, no more than $270 million.

In return, we were promised water security; we were assured to get 97% of our contracted promise – abun-dant supplies for both household use and landscaping, regardless of the vagaries of Mother Nature. It is now twenty-two years down the road, and we all know the aftermath of that deci-sion. By the time the bonds are paid off for the Coastal Branch, the price tag will have inflated to $1.76 billion.

And what about the water? To date, the four participating South Coast water agencies have received only 36% of their allotted deliveries. This year, it will be less than that: state officials have notified contractors to expect only 30% of their allotments due to a subpar snowpack. Meanwhile, we are obliged to continue paying for the fixed costs of this boondoggle, regardless of the quantity of water we receive – or rather, don’t receive. For Montecito ratepayers, that amounts to $4.9 million annually.

And that, apparently, is just the start. Black & Veatch, a consulting firm retained by the Montecito Water District, recently recommended rais-ing the district’s water rates by 55 percent between 2013 and 2018 to retire existing debt and address capi-tal improvement and reserve require-ments.

Nor does it end there. Adding insult to this profound economic injury, the

state is advancing a new water con-veyance scam, one that dwarfs the Coastal Branch in expense, environ-mental destruction and sheer gall: the Twin Tunnels project.

Pushed by Governor Jerry Brown, his legislative allies, and southern San Joaquin Valley corporate agribusiness, the Twin Tunnels would shunt water from the Sacramento River under the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to the western San Joaquin Valley and the South State. In the process, it would greatly restrict freshwater flows through the Delta, imperiling our salmon and Dungeness crab fish-

eries. The estimated cost for the proj-ect range, without debt interest, is from $24 billion to $64 billion – all to be paid by us, ratepayers who have con-tracted for State water.

The Tunnels, it must be noted, are simply a delivery system; they will not increase South State water sup-plies by a single drop. And of course, southern California ratepayers will be saddled with a big chunk of the bill for this so-called “essential infrastruc-ture.” For the eight members of the CCWA, that could mean an additional debt load exceeding $5 billion.

Of course, the state is equivocat-ing on just what this white elephant will mean for monthly water bills. The math, however, is fairly straight-forward. That 55 percent increase in Montecito water rates cited by Black & Veatch? We should be so lucky. If the Twin Tunnels are built, expect our rates to go up by as much as 200 per-cent or more.

Clearly, it is not in the interests of Montecito ratepayers to sign on to this hare-brained scheme. In its size, open-ended costs, uncertain benefits and roots in centralized and unresponsive government, it harkens to the massive and catastrophic public works projects of the Soviet Union in the 1950s. Such economic models were ill-conceived then; today, they are grotesque. It is especially unworthy for California, a state renowned for its innovation and vast technological capacity.

We live in a semi-arid region, and water always has been – and always will be – scarce. Our state will con-tinue to grow, and we must plan for

the equitable distribution of water as part of that growth. But the Twin Tunnels are not the solution. We can adopt a resilient and far less costly approach that involves conservation, recycling, groundwater recharge, and the retirement of selenium impaired agricultural lands in the western San Joaquin Valley. (For more information on a rational alternative to the Twin Tunnels, please go to http://www.c win.org/webfm_send/296).

Montecito ratepayers believed the honeyed blandishments of state bureaucrats in 1991. That, it turns out, was a mistake: we were saddled with enormous debt, and received very little in return. We can’t turn back the clock, but we can learn to say no to officials who have already brazenly betrayed us.

Contact our First District Supervisor, Salud Carbajal, and ask him to get Santa Barbara out of the Twin Tunnels nightmare.

In the immortal words of The Who, we won’t be fooled again.

Weedy WonderI am wondering how everyone else

feels about the weeds growing mag-nificently in the center of the Cabrillo-Hot Springs roundabout and the approach roads to it; they are now higher and far healthier than anything planted there.

Why would a goodly sum be spent on landscaping this area and then neglect the maintenance?

I have asked for help from the Montecito Association and tried to penetrate the departments of the city but drew a blank. Has anyone any idea on how to restore the good look to our Montecito entranceway?

Ruth DeeleyMontecito(Editor’s note: You must have missed

Pete and Gerd Jordano’s letter to the editor on the subject in MJ # 19/25, and Kelly Mahan’s coverage in the same issue that has led to city workers being sent to that location to manage the weeds. They’ve already done the sidewalk leading to the roundabout and the central area in the roundabout. No doubt they’ll soon take care of the rest. Thank you for your letter and your concern. – J.B.)

quickly and sent the following e-mail to the mayor:)

“Dear Helene,“I was contacted by a number of

my Montecito constituents today who asked me to contact you because they have contacted city staff on a number of occasions to express their concern that the roundabout at Hot Springs-Coast Village Road has become over-grown with dead vegetation and that their request for the removal of the weeds and the planting of appropri-ate vegetation has fallen on deaf ears. They do not feel that they are getting an appropriate response and asked that I contact directly you on their behalf.

“I got the sense that they are frus-trated and inclined to organize an effort to bring attention to this issue and include the media. I let them know that I would be contacting you on their behalf.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

nothing But The BestChris Ley has been a preschool

teacher at All Saints by-the-Sea Parish School for the past 34 years. As parents of her students, we want to express our gratitude and give her the recog-nition she so rightly deserves.

Ms Ley is as fine a teacher as one could wish for in life. She has integrity in all aspects of her teaching and most importantly, the safety of the chil-dren is her top priority. Preschoolers were celebrated in Ms Ley’s class. She taught them to wonder, explore, cre-ate and imagine through her directed play-work stations. She taught them about fairness, kindness, preserva-tion, generosity, equality, discernment, trust, intention, orderliness, respect, interdependence, self dependence, patience, concentration, and compas-sion.

We cannot thank Ms Ley enough for her dedication to teaching the preschoolers at All Saints by-the-sea Parish School for 34 years. She is truly an honest, generous, intelligent and inspirational teacher.

We love you Ms Ley.Thank you,Erica EarleAnd all the families fortunate

enough to have had you!Montecito

Bobcats On Middle Road

Last week, in the middle of the afternoon, a family of three bobcats sauntered through our garden; I think it was a large mother with two little ones. Unfortunately, we were only quick enough to get pictures of two of them. We believe it was a good omen and had a symbolic meaning to have a sighting like that.

The mom ran up a tree trying for one of our squirrels, unsuccessfully.

We thought we were back in the veld of the homeland.

Hope you are all well.Did they come by your place?Best,Carla and Shaun TomsonMontecito (Editor’s note: Shaun Tomson, a for-

MUS Renovations On Tap

Village Beat by Kelly Mahan

At this month’s Montecito Association Board Meeting, a conversation ensued regard-

ing the proposed renovations and upgrades set to eventually take place at Montecito Union School.

Last week, MUS superintendent Tammy Murphy was in front of the MA’s Land Use Committee, giving them an update on the project, which is expected to cost $40 million. Ten million of that is earmarked for legally required work including ADA compli-ance and energy conservation require-ments.

As part of the potential project, which is still in preliminary stages, is a new multipurpose “Commons” building, which would house a caf-eteria and a staff dining area. Located near the Commons would be an out-door bowl area, which would accom-modate up to 800 people, according to the Land Use Committee report. Other components include a storage and shed building, realignment of the ball fields, an expanded media center, and an area for interior physical edu-cation, and more.

Neighbors have expressed ini-tial concern over noise, privacy, and visual impacts, and Murphy says the Facilities Committee, which is help-ing facilitate the project, is planning community outreach. The MUS board will meet again at the start of the school year, and will discuss financ-ing, which will likely come in part from a ballot bond. We’ll have much more on the proposed project in an upcoming issue.

Also at the meeting, Montecito Fire Chief Chip Hickman said this fire season is expected to be longer and more difficult this year, due to lack of rain. Working with MERRAG and Montecito Trails Foundation, the District has been patrolling local trails during weather events, to monitor hikers and happenings in high-risk areas.

Two new people were introduced at the meeting: Santa Barbara County Sheriff Lieutenant Brad McVay, who will be the new contact person for Montecito, and Susan Robles, who is taking Carol Celic’s position as office coordinator for the Association.

Montecito Union School will eventually undergo extensive renovations; a series of community out-reach events is in the works

En route to Las Vegas on Highway I-15 we had a surprise nostalgia trip back to the ‘50s. We exited

at Ghost Town Road in Yermo just a few miles north of Barstow. There in big block letters was announced “Peggy Sue’s 50’s Diner.” We thought we had stumbled onto Route 66 and remembered the old saying, “Get your kicks on Rt. 66.”

As we entered it was like a time machine stopping in 1954. Peggy Sue’s Diner had been built back then with nine counter stools and three booths. It was built from railroad ties and mortar from the nearby Union Pacific Rail yard.

The present owners, Champ and Peggy Sue came from southern California in 1981, reopened the diner in

1987 and attempted to restore and pre-serve it in its original state. Before they moved to the desert Champ worked for Knott’s Berry Farm (an amusement park with an old western town) and she had worked in the movies.

The Diner was the perfect place to display their extensive collection of

movie and TV memorabilia. To com-plement the cozy atmosphere, they wanted good homemade food (com-fort food) and great ‘50s music. They used Peggy Sue’s grandmother’s old fashioned recipes. Build it and they will come! And they did: the loyal locals, trusty truck drivers, mighty military and terrific tourists.

It became so popular that they need-ed more room and turned it into an old-fashioned tourist stop complete with a Five & Dime souvenir store, soda fountain and pizza parlor. The walls are covered with photos of the famous stars from the golden era.

Life-size statues of Elvis, James Dean and their cohorts are strewn through-out the various rooms. The waitresses wear authentic ‘50s uniforms (I used to wear one) except they had on the ubiquitous tennis shoes instead of saddle shoes. They also had my favor-ite curly French fries and I ate every one. My folks served them in their ‘50s restaurant, but you can hardly find them this century.

To add to the tourist stop is the Diner-saur Park where you see metal statues of Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus and an 18-foot King Kong sculpture among waterfalls, ponds and foun-tains where the turtles, fish and ducks frolic.

But the Montecito-based racketeer, who got engaged to Evert in 1974 – the year they both won Wimbledon – responds: “To be honest with you, all this reaction has kind of taken me by surprise. It was never done to hurt her.”

And Jimmy, 60, claims he did try to contact her before the revelatory tome hit bookstores.

“I called her twice and tried to hook up before it came out. Then, when it did come out, I picked up the phone and called her right away. I did not apologize – this is the story of my life.

“We had a conversation and I think we should just leave it at that.

“I hope I haven’t burned any bridg-es with her. What we did is what hap-pened.”

Back on TopFormer TV talk show titan Oprah

Winfrey is back on her throne on top of Forbes’ list of the world’s most pow-erful celebrities, after a two-year stint in the runner-up seat.

Our rarefied enclave’s most famous celebrity knocked actress-singer Jennifer Lopez off the spot and into number 12, but still shares the top ten

winners’ enclosure with a multitude of women, I note.

There are six Amazons in the plum positions – and the only man to make it into the top five is film director

Steven Spielberg, who, coming third, is sandwiched between Lady Gaga in second and Beyoncé in fourth.

Singer and actress Madonna comes fifth and Taylor Swift makes her top 10 debut at number six in the annual Top 100 compiled by a the New York-based financial glossy, which is based on income over a 12-month period and fame, as defined by a media pres-ence across all platforms, as well as social media power.

Forbes calculated celebrities’ earn-ings on income from tours, books, contracts, endorsements, movies and residuals and each star was given a marketability score, created by

Oprah back at Number One


MISCELLAny Page 244

California market research firm E-Poll.Forbes credits 59-year-old Oprah’s

$77 million earnings between June 2012 and June 2013 – as well as her prominence on TV, on social media and in the press – for her placing.

The magazine’s scribe, Dorothy Pomerantz, says: “She still wields an enormous amount of power, which is really what we look for in our fame matrix… She is taking her cable network and turning it around just through the sheer force of her will, her connections and her abil-ity.”

Oprah, who has topped the list on four previous occasions, is just one of three celebrities who have been featured on the prestigious list every year since its inception in 1999, along with TV talent judge and radio host Howard Stern and mega director Spielberg.

But she wasn’t the highest earn-ing star over the last year. Madonna earned $125 million in the past 12 months.

Last year’s Number One, Lopez – who topped the chart thanks to her public profile and earnings of $52 million – drops to 12 on the latest countdown.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga, despite being forced to cancel numerous dates on her moneymaking “Born This Way Ball” tour due to hip surgery earlier

this year, raked in $80 million from the global jaunt.

Forbes also deciphered how often individual stars appeared in the media and used Starcount – a Singapore-based company that studies celeb-rity’s presence on 11 different social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, to assess popu-larity and influence.

Royal Baby on the WayWith a royal baby anticipated within

days, the phone at Maison Mineards Montecito has been ringing off the hook with TV and radio interview requests drawing on my 40 years of experience covering the British Royal Family.

Appearances in the last few days included CNN and Fox, as well as BBC radio in London, asking about the various traditions involved in the process, possible names for the child and what title he or she will hold after the delivery at the private Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital in London’s Paddington district, where William and Harry also came into the world.

As the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate’s child will automatically become a Prince or Princess with the title of HRH and become third in line to the throne after Prince Charles and William, moving

Prince Harry into fourth place in the royal rankings.

Following many decades of royal tradition, the birth announcement will be on framed royal stationery placed on a highly polished easel inside the main gates of Buckingham Palace.

And, in due course, like Charles and William, the baby will be christened in the palace’s music room wearing a gown of Honiton lace and silk, origi-nally made around 150 years ago for Queen Victoria’s eponymous daugh-ter.

The new addition will be brought up in the confines of Kensington Palace – the former home of Princess Diana –, with the Queen’s late sister

Princess Margaret’s 57-room apart-ment currently undergoing a multi-million-dollar renovation in readiness for the family.

The word “apartment” is somewhat misleading, given the property is more a four-story house with a large south-facing walled garden, part of KP’s Clock Tower wing, designed by St. Paul’s Cathedral architect Christopher Wren for King William and Queen Mary in the 17th century.

As CNN anchor Fredricka Whitfield remarked after my appearance: “If no one was excited before this, they are now!”

Stay tuned....

Leaning Tree near Cemetery

As a follow up to a Letter to the Editor published in MJ # 19/26, we contacted Santa Barbara’s Urban Forest Superintendent Tim Downey, regarding the “leaning tree” near Cabrillo Blvd and Los Patos Way.

After surveying it, Downey tells us the tree, which is located on cemetery property, is an Araucaria columna-ris, Cook Pine or New Caledonian Pine. “This species of tree actually bends naturally, and it is not unsafe or uncommon,” Downey told us. At this time the tree will remain as is, accord-ing to Downey.

Allora by Laura OpensAfter being vacant over a year,

the space at 1269 Coast Village Road has been filled with a new clothing boutique, Allora by Laura. Owned

by Santa Barbara native and former Antoinette creative designer Laura Dinning, the shop offers several European clothing collections.

“I’ve been a ‘shop girl’ my entire life,” Dinning told us earlier this week. She says she is passionate about retail and style, and hopes to bring the “quintessential Santa Barbara look” to Coast Village Road. She has worked in the industry since her teens, including buying and merchandising in Beverly Hills and Santa Barbara.

Dinning, along with her daugh-ter TJ, a recent grad of FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising), have turned the cor-ner space into an airy, open, cloth-ing boutique. Racks and shelving are minimal, designed to showcase the clothing in an elegant way, Dinning described. The store features mostly women’s clothes, handbags, shoes, and accessories, but will eventually feature a line of men’s cashmere.

Much of the clothing is Italian knit-wear, cashmere, and silks, designed to be styled together to create a casual but refined look. Dinning also car-ries denim, cashmere tees, and 100% certified Mongolian cashmere scarves. Custom jewelry, featuring precious and semi-precious stones, will be

offered soon. Designers include Amina Rubinacci,

Peter Cohen, Sally Lapointe, Azzedine Alaia, Hache, Borbonese, and Tapeet, among other names, all hand picked by Dinning. Allora by Laura will also feature a line of private label snake-skin bags. “The pieces are relaxed luxury,” Dinning says, “Clothes that women love to wear.”

Dinning says she is striving to offer the very latest in trends by designers who are the “next ‘it’ designer,” and she only carries collections that cannot readily be found in major department stores. “I want shopping at the store to be an experience not found else-where,” she said.

The store opened last Saturday, July 6, and a Grand Opening will be held in September, when the fall collections are unveiled.

The boutique joins high-end con-signment store Mattie & Me, located on the other side of the Liquor & Wine Grotto, and a new men’s cloth-ing store, called Best Dressed Monk, which is expected to open in the fall in the space formerly occupied by Living Green. Allora by Laura is located at 1269 Coast Village Road. Call 565-2425 for more information.

Montecito Country Mart Updates

While work continues on expanding the parking lot at Montecito Country Mart, owner James Rosenfield con-tinues to fill vendor spaces in the mart, which will see the opening of several new stores this summer.

Last month marked the opening of Intermix, a men and women’s cloth-ing store with over 35 locations in the United States and Canada. The trendy boutique has opened in a section of what used to be Vons Pharmacy, which relocated next to Starbucks last year.

Expected to open in the next few weeks is Calypso St. Barth, a boutique

featuring a mix of casual and elegant women’s clothing, accessories, home décor, and fragrance. The company, known for its upscale resort wear and home goods, has close to 40 shops throughout the country.

We’re told Space NK is also poised to open in the Mart. Named after founder Nicky Kinnaird, Space NK is a London-based company with two-dozen stateside stores and 62 stores in the UK, featuring an “edited selection of the world’s best beauty products.” The beauty apothecary is known for its staff of skincare specialists and makeup artists who help customers find beauty solutions across many dif-ferent brands of products.

The unnamed “farm-to-table” res-taurant set to open this summer by Los Angeles Chef Suzanne Goin and business partner Caroline Styne is no longer happening, according to publicist Jannis Werman. “The deal is off due to extenuating circumstances,” Werman told us, without more details. She did say there is a possibility of a restaurant deal in the future, but whether it would be in the Mart is unclear. The restaurant space, located across from Rory’s Creamery, remains vacant and for lease.

Montecito Country Mart is located on the corner of Hot Springs Road and Coast Village Road.

A Familiar RefrainI was just about to exit the Taj Mahal

Roundabout when I was struck by a shattering thwaaaack on the right rear end of my car. As soon as it was safely possible, I pulled over the side of lower Coast Village Road. The other driver got of his car saying, “I’m so sorry… it was all my fault; you see, I’m a stranger here and was looking at my map.”

Since then, I have noticed peo-ple entering the roundabout while brushing their teeth, applying mas-cara, changing their socks, phon-ing their mothers while solving a crossword puzzle. In short, doing everything but keeping their eyes on the road.

I urge your readers to look up the meaning of the word “yield.” They then might try singing along with the Taj Mahal Roundabout Players’ hit record, “I yielded once too often on the roundabout of life.”

Remember, you can never yield too often.

Sincerely,Christina AllisonMontecito(Editor’s note: Are you sure you want to

go on record as having advised “you can never yield too often?” – J.B.)

F-Modified Best Alternative

I agree with your comments to a recent letter writer emphasizing the need for a new southbound on-ramp at Cabrillo (not Los Patos) to relieve the congestion on Coast Village Road.

Regarding the time to complete the project, Scott Eades, project manager for Caltrans, said in his recent presentation to SBCAG that the Cabrillo-Hot Springs portion of the project would only take 24 to 29 months, not four to six years as some have suggested.

There was also a suggestion to re-

think the project to allow for both the retention of the left-hand ramps and the addition of a new southbound on-ramp at Cabrillo. While Caltrans has adamantly and repeatedly stated that retaining the left-hand ramps is not viable, Eades also says a new southbound on-ramp from Cabrillo will only fit if the southbound lanes are moved inland into the area where the left-side ramps exist or if the railroad tracks are moved toward the coast. Without relocation of the tracks (which would require permis-sion from Union Pacific and be very costly and time consuming), there simply is not enough room to keep left-hand ramps and build a new southbound on-ramp.

The best alternative that gives us the much needed Cabrillo on-ramp is the Caltrans F-Modified configu-ration. While no alternative is per-fect, F-Modified hurts no one: not Los Patos, not Coast Village Road, not Hermosillo.

Sincerely,Thorn RobertsonMontecito (Editor’s note: There is another alter-

native for a southbound on-ramp at Cabrillo: make an on-ramp that crosses over the railroad tracks! – J.B.)

Blame It On BushThe United States is ranked third

in the world for murders. However, if you take out Chicago, Detroit, Washington, D.C. and New Orleans, the United States is fourth from the bottom for murders.

Coincidentally, these four cities also have the toughest gun control laws in the United States and are all con-trolled by Democrats.

A Long Time In The Works

You may be afraid or nervous about physics, astronomy, math, and chem-istry, but it is what makes up our world, and in fact... us.

What did it take to get us here?We are here due to a bewildering

set of circumstances that for some reason allowed complicated life to

arise on earth? Here is the thing: It all worked perfectly for the earth, and thus also for us.

Even though there are billions of stars in billions of galaxies, and bil-lions of possibilities, what we have here may be quite rare in our galaxy, and even in the universe.

It takes a star: our sun. It has to be the right sort of star, one that will last a long time, and one that sends out consistent energy.

Check. The planet to be inhabited must

be the right size and distance from the star, the habitable zone (the Goldilocks zone). Otherwise it will be too hot or too cold...

Check. You need the advent of water and

the right size ocean, i.e., one with enough water (not too much and not too little) to last for billions of years.

Check. You need the advent of oxygen,

atmosphere, a stable circular orbit, and a strong gravity neighbor like Jupiter to clear out the comets, and asteroids, which help to stave off those nasty mass extinctions.

Check, check, and check. You need a spinning iron core that

sets up the magnetic field around the planet to protect the planet’s inhabit-ants from the harmful aspects of the sun.

Check. You even need plate tectonics, a

large moon, tilt, right temperature, carbon, and it even helps to be in the right place in the galaxy.

Checks all around. You must know this list in not

complete. Yet, don’t we take all these amazing things for granted? This life, this planet is just “life as we know it,” and it is no big deal... Well, it is a big deal.

So, you have to ask yourself, how

are we doing as a species?? How are we treating this world that took 4.5 billion years to perfect so that we could live in its splendor??

Even if you are the congressman who recently said he thought the planet was 9,000 years old, and that the big bang and evolution came out of the pit of hell or some such, you still have to ask how we are doing.

How are we doing with our corrup-tion, nuclear bombs, nuclear waste, war, starvation, governing ourselves, our spewing Fukushimas, guns, rape, greed, using up all the oil, not treat-ing women equally, fracking, the insane and costly mistake of a drug war we just can’t stop?

The list of problems of consequence is pretty massive. As a species, for some reason, we have gone down a path that has the enterprise in a lot of trouble.

Do we listen to the wise ones who have come to tell us of a more enlight-ened path, and if not, why not?

On this planet we are the problem, and we just think the way things are... is normal. How crazy is that?

If we really knew as a species what it took to get us here, if we really knew what a beautiful, rare thing we have here in this solar system, would we be operating this way?

Is there some way we could stop, just for a moment, collect ourselves, and change course?

Glenn GriffithSanta Barbara(Editor’s note: We hate it when ques-

tions asked by readers are left unan-swered, but in this case, we have no answer, and perhaps there really isn’t one. What we can say is “Cheer up!” It will all be over one day, whether it is one hundred years from now, or a bil-lion years from now, and when that time comes, there’ll be no way to “change course” anyway. – J.B.) •MJ

In other MFPD news, the Pancake Breakfast on July 4 served over 1,200 patrons, and grossed over $10,000.

The money was raised by the Montecito Firefighter’s Charitable Foundation (a non-profit organiza-tion), which established a fund to assist the families of the Granite Mountain Interagency Hot Shots, the nineteen firefighters lost in the Arizona wildfire on June 30, 2013.

One of the crewmembers lost in the blaze, Sean Misner, was the nephew of Operations Chief Terry McElwee, and the grandson of former Fire Chief Herb McElwee, who passed away last year. About half of the money col-lected was donated specifically for the Misner family; the other half went to the “Nineteen Lost,” a fund for the families of the fallen firefighters.

The nineteen hotshots lost their lives Sunday, June 30, while battling the 2,000-acre Yarnell Hill fire that was started by lightning on June 28.

Four off-duty Firefighters and one retiree of the Montecito Fire Protection District joined hundreds of other agencies and firefighters attending the memorial service in Prescott, Arizona on Tuesday, July 9. In addition, one off-duty MFPD dispatcher volun-

teered with several other dispatchers from across the state of California to provide assistance in the Prescott and Yarnell Communications Centers so that their dispatchers could attend the services. A memorial service for Sean, headed up by MFPD, is scheduled for July 15 at 7 pm at Santa Ynez High School.

Additional donations can be made out to “Montecito Firefighter’s Charitable Foundation” (Tax I.D. number is: 204817396) . Reference “Nineteen Lost” or “Sean Misner” in the memo field of the check.

Village Fourth Draws Thousands

Last Thursday, July 4, thousands of Montecito and Santa Barbara residents came out to watch the Montecito Association’s 18th annual Village Fourth, organized by former MA president Diane Pannkuk, with help from association members and parade chairman Dana Newquist.

Close to 40 groups or individu-als entered the parade, which made its way down San Ysidro Road onto Santa Rosa Lane; a community gath-

n.o.t.e.s. from downtown by Jim AlexanderSame Time next year

Mr. Alexander and his wife, Lora, are co-founders and operators of the Alexander Summer Home For Wayward Youth

Every summer our three grand-children, currently age 15 (girl), 11 (boy), and 7 (hippogriff), visit

us for a couple of weeks. This year we flew them in from their new home in Texas. Every year it takes a day or two before we remember the previous year’s calamity and begin to repeat the refrain of past years: “Remind me of this when we start to make arrange-ments for them to come next year.”

The first few hours of their stay is always Rockwellian – hugs, kisses, snacks that Lora never buys for me – but like the Los Angeles Dodgers after spring training, things always go downhill from there. This year’s downward spiral started at the four-hour twenty-two minute mark. That’s when the youngest ran into the bath-room like the Tidy Bowl Man was giv-ing away two-headed snakes. I don’t know why young boys wait to go to the bathroom until they’re about to burst like Harry Houdini’s appendix, but they do.

We continued our carefree conversa-tion with our other two grandchildren until I said to Lora, “How long has he been in there?” Grandma’s smile turned upside-down and she aptly groaned, “Oh, crap.”

I knocked on the door. “Everything okay in there, Buddy?”

“Yep.”I could hear water splashing and

immediately thought of the new bath-room carpet I’d installed two days before. “No problems?”

“Nope.”I opened the door and saw that this

visit’s grace period was over. It seems that everything, and I’ll be as delicate here as possible, did not flush as well as he’d hoped, and his seven-year-old brain figured the best solution was to take grandma’s nice toilet brush and try to stuff the remainders down the hole.

I did what every good grandfather would do. I closed the door and went back into the living room.

Lora asked, “Is everything okay?”“Yeah, sure, no problem.”It might’ve been the look on my

face, or possibly the fact that my eyes were watering, but she didn’t believe me. She dashed into the bathroom and used an expression that’s usually reserved for day seven of our grand-children’s visit: “What the &^#@* are you doing!?”

After cleanup and a ten-minute lecture on the differences between a plunger, a toilet brush and a plane ride back to Texas, Lora returned to the liv-ing room and said to me, “Remind me of this when we start to make arrange-ments for them to come next year.”

Our lives change drastically when the kids are here. Such as, I often say

I went to the store for a jar of mustard and spent twenty dollars, but with visiting grandkids I say I went to the store for a gallon of milk and fifteen minutes of peace and quiet, and spent two hundred dollars. And, one single solitary roll of toilet paper can last Lora and me more than a week, but when you add three kids to the equa-tion you can wear out the spring on the toilet paper holder in a fortnight, or even a thirdnight.

Laundry is a big deal when the grandchildren are here. Lora and I usually get by with two loads of laun-dry on the weekend, but with the kids here... let’s just say that our daughter should’ve considered sponsorship and named the kids Kenmore, Tide and Downy. We also forget that you have to check the pockets of grandchil-dren’s pants before laundry for rocks, gum, lipstick, Game Boys, live lizards and dead birds. Lora and I seldom need stain removers but when the kids are here we use a product called Spray ‘n Wash Stain Stick almost as much as we use margarita mix. On their third day here Lora held up an article of clothing and asked me, “What do you think this big brown stain is, blood, chocolate, or–”

“Just hit it with the stain stick and don’t ask any questions. And check the pockets!”

“Remind me of this when we start to make arrangements for them to come next year.”

But then there’s always that one day when the planets line up and there’s no bickering, crying, or Hazmat clean-up. This year it happened when we took them to Hendry’s Beach. The day was warm, the sand relatively tar-free, and the waves were just big enough to be thrilling to a seven year old. On our way home the middle grandson said, “Grandpa, that was the best day ever.”

I turned to Lora and said, “Remind me of this when we start to make arrangements for them to come next year.” •MJ

MISCELLAny (Continued from page 19)The Power of ‘I Will’

Former world champion surfer and Montecito resident Shaun Tomson is launching his fourth book, The Code: The Power of ‘I Will,’ this month, based on a speaking engagement at Santa Barbara’s Anacapa School.

Shaun, 57, who also wrote the best seller Surfer’s Code: 12 Simple Lessons for Riding Through Life, says: “I spoke with the students and engaged in some lively discussion. I decided to give them an assignment.

“I told them I’d written the original Surfer’s Code in twenty minutes – a quick exercise to capture the essence of what was important for me.

“I told them to create their own code. Take twenty minutes and tell me about all your goals. Begin every sen-tence with the words ‘I Will.’ About a week later Gordon Sichi, the head-master and founder of the school, sent me their answers. They were beauti-ful, sensitive, full of humor and hope. In essence the kids wrote a series of promises they had made to them-selves.”

Shaun, who is also an award-win-ning documentary filmmaker for his work Bustin’ Down the Door, says the 156-page book is about “faith, cour-age, creativity, determination, the promises we make to ourselves about the future.”

“Hopefully it will encourage kids to make a commitment to the future,” adds Shaun, who’ll be doing a book signing at Tecolote, the bustling bib-liophile bastion in the Upper Village on Wednesday, July 17. “It’s motivat-ing and liberating for people. It’s a wave that keeps breaking!”

More Facts Emerge Reclusive heiress Huguette Clark

was muttering incoherently and unable to hold the pen when she signed her $300 million fortune away to her lawyer, doctors and employees, it is being claimed.

The new will was signed in April, 2005, in her room at the Beth Israel Medical Center in New York where she spent the last 20 years of her life before dying just weeks short of her 105th birthday in May, 2011.

Under the watchful eye of her attorney-beneficiary Wallace Bock, the will superseded the previous one which gave $5 million to Clark’s per-

sonal nurse and the rest of her estate to her relatives.

Disturbing details of the 2005 sign-ing are outlined in papers recently filed in Manhattan Surrogate Court, according to the New York Post.

According to Bock’s assistant, Danita Rudisill, Clark “mumbled something incoherent” and needed help holding the pen, signing the document “very slowly, with some difficulty,” says the family court filing.

Clark’s relatives are opposing Bock’s motion that the will was prop-erly executed and Clark, who owned the $85 million Santa Barbara 23-acre ocean bluff estate, Bellosguardo, among other multi-million dollar properties, knew what she was doing when she signed it.

The Music Academy of the West’s Summer Festival continued at Hahn Hall with the Academy Festival orchestra, under Bernard Labadie, performing works by Gluck, Mozart and Haydn.

The highlight was a rarely per-formed 45-minute 1761 ballet work “Don Juan” by German composer Christoph Gluck, with a delightfully lively and entertaining score, wonder-fully handled by the talented new-comers.

Mozart’s Overture to “La clemenza di Tito,” which premiered just three months before his death, and Haydn’s Symphony No. 101 in D Major, The Clock – one of the Austrian com-poser’s 12 London symphonies –, wrapped up the show under Labadie, music director of Les Violons du Roy and La Chapelle de Quebec.

Hahn Hall was the setting for anoth-er entertaining concert, when four pianists – John Churchwell, Warren Jones, Jonathan Kelly and Carrie-Ann Matheson – performed Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” on two side-by-side Steinway grands, with other works by Desenclos, Poulenc and Franck’s Piano Quintet in F Minor, with longtime academy faculty mem-ber Jerome Lowenthal on the key-board.

Can’t Stop KirchmaierIt’s not often that a 105-year-old

woman gets featured in two consec-utive months in Hot Rod Magazine, but longtime Direct Relief volunteer Edythe Kirchmaier has done just that!

Edythe, who garnered international fame earlier this year after renew-ing her California driving license for a further five years, not to mention guest appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Ellen DeGeneres, is delighted with all the hoopla.

“Who knew?” she laughed, when

I bumped into her at Direct Relief’s annual Board of Directors reception at the Santa Barbara Club.

Six new directors, Patricia Aoyama, William Esrey, David Gibbs, Julia Rabinovitz, Steve Weintraub and Growing Pains actress Joanna Kerns, were elected for three-year terms to the medical charity, which, since its founding in 1948, has provided a staggering $1.2 billion in assistance around the globe.

MUSIC ACADEMy Page 444

Music Academy of the West Summer Days at Miraflores

by Steven Libowitz

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

Timothy Day leans against the wall in the back of Weinman Hall at the Music Academy of

the West, his bare feet grounded on the fine wood floor as he listens to flute fellows perform at his Monday masterclass. In a world where even in Santa Barbara most faculty members dress in coat-and-tie or dresses and the students are similarly formally attired, Day – if you will – marches to a different drummer.

Or make that scampers and dances. Day, who has been the principal

flutist of the San Francisco Symphony since 2007 after stints in Baltimore, Minnesota and Boston, loves to wan-der around the room as he listens to the fellows perform, jumping in often during a passage with a quick bit of expert advice, usually bopping and weaving or at least waving his arms to make a particularly eloquent point if he’s not actually demonstrating on his own flute.

“Do that again,” he tells fellow Jennifer Zhou, who has nailed a seg-ment of C.P.E. Bach’s sonata in A minor. “Do you know why? Because it was great!” Later he alternates between technical suggestions such as using more “leading tone,” or increas-ing the air speed of the breath, and more esoteric ideas like “be freer,” “sell it” and “lure us in.”

“I try not to put too much impor-tance on any one aspect,” Day, now in his 22nd MAW summer festival, explains privately later, after the pub-lic coaching session ends. “But I do try to find parallels in real life situations in the way we make music. That’s why I’m always asking the fellows what images come up in nature or from their own personal feeling... It’s to get them away from playing the commercialized version and instead

really finding their own voice... [We do] study of fundamentals, but with the object of getting the instrument out of the way and have it become your voice... So I avoid the lofty terms and try to hit a direct line to their psyche.”

Whatever he’s doing, it works. As in the other departments at MAW, appli-cations for flute fellows have soared in recent years – 91 young artists vied for the four coveted spots this summer. And without fail, the young musicians come away with a new perspective that shows up in their playing.

“We can have this insane quest for purity of tone, which gets you to close down, rather than open up to the music,” Day says. “When you get to the other side, there’s a lot more elas-ticity and flexibility in the voice, and a purer representation of who you are as a musician... They’re great listeners. I make a suggestion and two minutes later, they have it. All I have to do is find the right button to push. ”

His bare feet and casual clothes are a hallmark, but Day is not unique in his informal approach to communicat-ing with his musical charges. In fact, he says, the students are “surprised about how normal and human the faculty are. They see we’re really not much different than they are, and they can relate in a different way, and real-ize, ‘This is possible for me.’”

It’s that time of breakthrough that Day finds so gratifying, which has kept him maintaining a weekly sched-ule of 10 hours of teaching at the San Francisco Conservatory during the winter despite his busy schedule with the symphony. “It’s a load but it’s also my island of sanity,” he says. “It’s great when the [students] go out and find their own niche in the music world.”

Meanwhile, Day’s duties at MAW also include participating in several of the Tuesdays@8 faculty recitals. He played the Martinu Nonet on July 2 – a piece that was new to many of the performers – and is looking forward eagerly to his next assign-ment: Debussy’s Sonata for Flute, Violin and Harp, reuniting with for-mer Minnesota Orchestra colleague Cynthia Phelps and hooking up for the first time with faculty harpist JoAnn Turovsky.

“We haven’t played the piece in fif-teen years, so we’re looking to recap-ture some of the magic,” Day says of the work he calls “one of the great chamber music masterpieces of 20th century.” “The pastoral nature of the blend of those three instruments – the textural possibilities that are most-ly more intimate than extroverted – there’s a good deal of poetry possible that you don’t ordinarily hear. There won’t be a lot of muscle, but plenty of feeling with softer voices.”

Day is also slated to play Vivaldi’s Concerto in G Minor, RV 103, with early music master Nicholas McKegan (and oboist David Weiss and bassoonist Benjamin Kamins) on July 30. “It’s just a delightfully entertaining piece,” he says. “I used to play a one-key flute in another life and I’m looking forward to looking back through that window at the time period.”

To be sure, Day does don foot-wear for the formal recitals at Hahn Hall. But he’s always shoeless for the Monday masterclasses, and often wore shorts before the recent move to air-conditioned Weinman.

“I’m much more sure-footed with my shoes off,” he says. “I’ve been doing it for twenty years. And by now, if I don’t go bare foot, I get crap from the audience.”

This Week @ Music Academy of the West

Thur., July 11: It’s the annual Academy Open House, during which all the events are free and open to the public, including regular master-classes, a special evening masterclass sampler, plus tours of the grounds and more. Activities begin at 11:30am with a tour of the Music Academy’s magnificent gardens, historic Main House, Hahn Hall, and the Luria Education Center, led by Academy Emeritus Director and accomplished gardener Carole Halsted. At 1pm,

faculty artists Jerome Lowenthal and Benjamin Kamins will lead piano chamber and bassoon masterclasses in Lehmann and Weinman Halls, fol-lowed at 3:15 by masterclasses in per-cussion with Ted Atkatz at Hahn, Jonathan Feldman will lead a col-laborative piano in Weinman, and a rare harp class with JoAnn Turovsky in Lehmann Hall. Then, yes, it’s more masterclasses: a sampler at 7pm in Hahn Hall that offers instruction/coaching from Kathleen Winkler (violin), Carrie-Ann Matheson (vocal piano and interpretation) and Lowenthal (solo piano), back for a second dose in six hours. Also, as part of the open house, The Rack and Treasure House, the Academy’s on-campus shops, will be open their regular hours of 12noon-3pm, offering a 10 percent discount on purchases.

Fri., July 12: This year’s MERIT recital features 21 accomplished stu-dents from the Santa Barbara com-munity and beyond (in fact, this year only eight of the youngsters hail from the South Coast) in a broad and var-ied concert including excerpts from chamber and vocal works by Mozart, Dvorák, Haydn, Kronke, Ernst-Thilo Kalke, Saint-Saëns, Brahms, Debussy, Rodrigo, Fauré and Gluck. The recital is the culmination of the students’ participation in the Music Academy’s MERIT program (Music Education Reinforces Intellect and Talent), which provides musicians ages 11-18 with an intensive two-week immersion in the Summer School and Festival, includ-ing mentoring from and masterclasses with Academy fellows. This year’s participants also received instruction from Mosher Guest Artists Brooklyn Rider. A reception on Lind Patio in the Luria Education Center will fol-low the performance (12:30pm; Hahn Hall, free).

Sat., June 13: Nothing odd about Leonard Slatkin conducting the Academy Festival Orchestra again, unless you’re referring to the fact that his three visits to MAW have come in odd-numbered years, 2009, 2011, and this week. The former music director of both the St. Louis and National symphony orchestras who is now music director of the Detroit sympho-ny and Orchestre National de Lyon in France kicks off tonight’s program with Roberto Sierra’s Fandangos, which the six-time Grammy-winning Slatkin commissioned and premiered with the NSO back in 2001. The piece blends the Sierra’s Hispanic heritage with his years of study in Europe, the source of the major works that make up the bulk of the concert: Beethoven’s Symphony No. 8 in F Major, Op. 93, and Shostakovich’s No. 5 in D Minor, Op. 47, one of the most frequently performed symphonies of the 20th

District Proposing Changes to Rates

and ChargesLearn more, provide input, and have your questions answered.

An independent financial study has determined that the District must increase rates and charges for the

first time in five years if it is to continue to provide safe, reliable

water service to customers.

EDITORIAL (Continued from page 5)replacement of MWD’s 113 miles of pipe ranging in age from 2 to 90 years, and allow the District to meet its bond covenants by restoring reserves, which have been depleted in order to balance the budget over the last three years.

Will Conservation Lower Rates? No! The last rate increase in Montecito in 2008 set up tiers targeting larger water

users with higher rates in an effort to encourage water conservation. The plan suc-ceeded brilliantly. Customer demand dropped from an all-time high of 7,100 acre feet (AF) in 2007-08 to 5,300 AF in 2011, before rising again in the last two years. The good news is that a tiered rate increase encouraged conservation. The bad news is that conservation worked so well that revenues fell below projections, while fixed costs continued to rise, creating the need for another rate increase.

How Certain is the MWD Increase?MWD is scheduling a community meeting to discuss its proposed increase in

rates on July 24, followed by a public hearing at the end of August. The implemen-tation date for the first of five rate increases (16.3%) is September 1. While some concerned residents may show up at the hearing to protest, it would take 50% +1 of the 4,378 Montecito-Summerland customers to file written objections to block MWD from raising its rates. This is highly unlikely. Users have little choice except to grit their teeth and accept the proposed 5-year 55% increase in water cost.

Comparative Water RatesSingle-family residents of Montecito-Summerland who now use the MWD

average of 36 hundred cubic feet (HCF) of water (about 27,000 gallons per month) now pay a blended rate of $4.83 per HCF or $174 a month for water plus the meter charge, increasing to $263 a month in five years for the same amount of water.

The average single-family residential user in the City of Santa Barbara uses only 12 hundred cubic feet (HCF) of water per month, compared to Montecito’ average of 36 HCF, due mainly to Montecito’s more extensive irrigated land-scaping. This means the average residential customer in Santa Barbara in 2013-14 will pay only $68 a month for water (a blended rate of $4.50 per HCF of water

plus $14 for a 5/8” meter). Agricultural users in the City of Santa Barbara can buy their allocated water at $1.51 per HCF in Santa Barbara, while MWD will charge $2.43 per acre foot, a 61% premium.

Single-family residents in bone-dry Phoenix enjoy a water bill of only $38 per month, fifth lowest of the nation’s 20 largest cities. Their water comes from the federally-funded Arizona Canal. Similarly, water bills in Las Vegas are low because water comes from federally-funded Lake Mead. Cities like Chicago, Detroit and Milwaukee offer inexpensive water because of their proximity to abundant nearby lake water.

Recycled Wastewater, Reclaimed WaterIn Montecito, the amount of water used for drinking, bathing, cooking, dish-

washing and laundry is relatively modest, accounting for only one quarter of total consumption. The big water hog is landscaping water to “Keep Montecito Beautiful,” which accounts for three-fourths of total residential water usage. MWD customers use expensive, purified, potable water for landscaping and agricultural use, rather than much less expensive recycled wastewater because MWD lacks the pipes and pumps to recycle Santa Barbara reclaimed water from treatment plants to our larger users.

Santa Barbara, Goleta and Carpinteria all have the necessary infrastructure to allow their largest users to choose recycled water for landscaping at $2.16 per HCF rather than the $4.36 to $6.86 per HCF paid for potable water in Montecito. MWD says that adding the pipes and pumps to use recycled water is not yet cost effective, in part because only the largest users like cemeteries, golf courses and parks would qualify for recycled water. The problem is that reducing the water bills for large institutional customers would have the unfortunate effect of raising water bills for the 94% of residential users in order to cover the fixed cost of MWD service in a small District.

How can Water Rates be Reduced in Montecito?The Montecito Water District is relatively small, with only 4,378 customers.

It made sense to have an independent water district in Montecito when ample water was available from wholly-owned Jameson Lake-Doulton Tunnel and Montecito groundwater. Today the major supplier is the Cachuma Reservoir, shared by all coastal users, augmented by a flow of expensive SWP water that flows into Lake Cachuma in periods of drought.

An independent study needs to be commissioned to measure the potential economies ensuing from a consolidation of the Montecito Water District, the City of Santa Barbara Water, the Goleta Water District, the Carpinteria Valley Water District and the La Cumbre Mutual Water Company. it makes little economic sense to have five water districts with five separate rate structures, borrowing water from each other, with duplicate overhead, including separate billing systems.

The looming choice for a reliable emergency water supply seems to be between reactivating the Santa Barbara desalination plant and mandatory participation in the Twin Tunnels project. This issue can only be resolved by a regional consensus. While MWD customers are being asked to accept a five-year, 55% rate increase, a gigantic Twin Tunnel fixed cost expenditure could automatically and without recourse lead to water rates that are 5 to 10 times higher than the increase currently proposed by MWD.

While MWD projects a need for more rate increases, the City Water website for Phoenix reads: “There will be no increase in water rates in 2013-14 due to reducing management staff by 25% and eliminating 39 additional water service positions. We have enjoyed budget savings of more than $19 million in 2011-12, plus $10 million in 2012-13 due to employee and management ideas, and an efficiency study reviewed by a citizen’s advisory council. We have reduced debt by $43 million by improving our credit rating and refinancing. We gener-ated a new $4.5 million by selling reclaimed water. We saved $0.8 million in energy conservation and $0.7 million by outsourcing carbon regeneration.” Consolidation could result in significant economies of scale that offset historic preferences for local control.

Cost of Bottled WaterA 16.9 fluid ounce bottle of Evian water from the French Alps costs $2 at

Pierre Lafond, or $15.15 a gallon. Obsessed with water purity, Americans paid $10 billion last year to drink 700 brands of bottled water with hardly a whimper about the price. Can we really complain about the price of water, purified and delivered to our homes 24/7, at a price of less than one cent a gallon when we happily pay $15.15 a gallon for water in a plastic bottle that is probably no better in quality, but 1,515 times more expensive than tap water will be after the new price increase? •MJ

SHERIFF’S BLOTTER

Vehicle Break-in on Channel Drive Thursday, 13 June, 9:33 pm – Deputy Mendez was dispatched to Channel

Drive in regard to a vehicle burglary report. A woman said she parked her vehicle in a staff parking lot earlier in the day, and when she returned from work her passenger side window had been broken and her purse was taken from the floorboard. In her purse she had cash, credit cards, a checkbook, and her driver’s license. The deputy suggested the woman go home and cancel all of her credit cards. The next day, the woman called the deputy to report that her bank account had been drained. She also said that when she returned home she found a beach towel in the back seat of her car that did not belong to her. She believes the towel was left by the suspect. A report was taken.

Intoxicated Woman Apprehended Friday, 21 June, 2:18 pm – Deputy Calderon was contacted by dispatch regard-

ing an intoxicated female at the Montecito Library. Senior Deputy Messmore assisted Calderon with the call. While they were en route to the library, they were advised the woman had gotten into her vehicle and was headed towards the freeway. Additionally, the woman had a juvenile in the back seat, later identified as her son. Messmore observed the vehicle traveling north on San Ysidro Road, but he was stuck in traffic and was unable to initiate a traffic stop. Calderon, who was traveling in a different car, observed the woman heading onto the freeway onramp. Calderon followed her, and witnessed her make a severe movement from the number one lane, cross the number two lane, and exit the freeway at Salinas Street. Calderon then initiated a traffic stop; he said the woman “seemed confused.”

The deputy explained that people had seen her at the library and were con-cerned for her safety, and the safety of her son. At that point the deputy called in California Highway Patrol officers to assist, since the traffic stop was in their jurisdiction. While waiting for CHP, the woman’s son whispered to the deputy that his mother had a “drinking problem.” The case was forwarded to California Highway Patrol officers.

Unconscious Driver Behind the Wheel Sunday, 30 June, 12:42 am – MFPD Engine 91 and Squad 91 responded to

a reported vehicle accident on the 1400 block of East Valley Road, but upon arrival, they determined that it was a medical emergency and not an accident. Responders found the motor running on the front lawn of a private property. The driver of the vehicle was unconscious behind the wheel. CHP assisted by forcing entry into the vehicle and shutting off the ignition. The patient was transported to Cottage Hospital.

Vehicle Extricated from West Mountain Drive Sunday, 30 June, 7 am – MPFD Medic Engine 93, Squad 91 and Battalion Chief

McLeod responded with Santa Barbara City and Santa Barbara County equip-ment to a vehicle over the side in the 200 block of West Mountain Drive. A grid search with the use of Thermal Imaging Cameras determined that there were no occupants at the scene. The vehicle was extricated and the scene was turned over to CHP. •MJ

Striding Toward Excellence!

If you want to go where you can feel the love, try visiting Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Center (HTEC). It’s located up the County Road toward the recycling center not far from Turnpike at 4420 Calle Real. It’s where the power of the horse is employed to enhance the capabilities of children and adults with special needs in the Tri-County area.

HTEC recently held its annual horse show, which celebrates rider achieve-ments. The show was free except for $10 if you wanted a barbeque lunch. Opening ceremonies were at 9:15 am with events lasting until 3 pm. Don and I arrived in time to see some spe-cial riding demonstrations with riders in all shapes and sizes. The only rule is that they have to be at least three years old.

We also ran into several friends who volunteer or sponsor like Linda Hedgepeth, Betty Stephens and Lindsey Fisher, and Barbara and Sam Toumayan. Other names we recog-nized on the program were Chad and Ginni Dreier and Hannah and Doug Dreier, and Jean Schuyler (who also rides there weekly.)

Executive director Kirby Gillespie told me, “We have about one hun-dred volunteers, eight horses and two miniatures. We are looking for more horses, so people can call here if they have a horse that might qualify.” Sandy Webster is the associate execu-tive director who handles many of the various programs.

Volunteers do more than simply

give their time; they help special individuals achieve real life goals. Advisory board member Laurie Ballard told me about Will Gear, who is now a mid-teen. He had a stroke as a baby and was given only a 3% chance of ever walking. He rode with Hearts from age two to twelve and will become a volunteer this summer, helping others to ride. He’s walking just fine.

There is also a program for vet-erans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They can’t say enough about how these horses have changed their lives.

Call 964-1519 or check out www.heartsriding.org for volunteer orienta-tion and training schedules. There is also a summer horse camp for kids 8-16 where they learn grooming, tack-ing, horsemanship and riding. All abil-ities accepted. Don’t forget about the horse sponsorship benefits. As a spon-sor you may choose to be involved in grooming and riding independently, having a group ride or having “back in the saddle” riding lessons besides helping those with serious disabilities “stride toward excellence!”

It seems like only yesterday that he was born, but Deacon T Buckley celebrated his 2nd birthday on May

25 with a backyard barbecue and a visit from some of his close friends, including probably his favorite (he is apparently hers), Paloma, who has yet to celebrate her own 2nd birthday, but is leaps and bounds ahead of her male cohort when it comes to the three Rs. A trip to the Seein’ Spots Farm, where the miniature donkeys – including a nearly newborn – were the highlights of a perfect day.

Wedding Chimes For Lily & Jeremy

Speaking of perfect days, the marine layer lifted before noon on Friday, June 7, and the now-former Lily Buckley married Georgia-born beau Jeremy Harbin (they met at the University of Georgia where both majored and received degrees in English) exchanged vows under a flower-bedecked bower built by Erica Moreno, owner of Flora Vida, at the Montecito oceanfront home of Nina Terzian just before 2 pm; friend of the couple Matthew Nelson offi-ciated and Nino Maiani played a gentle version of “Here Comes The Bride.” After the ceremony, the couple

and the 47 guests in the wedding party were escorted up to San Ysidro Ranch for a splendid reception and sit-down dinner. The tables featured even more flowers including coral peonies, garden roses and poppies, artfully arranged by Erica. French-born Christine Dahl made the three-tiered coconut-passion fruit wedding cake. Afterwards, a Santa Barbara Trolley picked the wedding party up, whereupon most of the guests headed to downtown Santa Barbara for yet more partying.

Polo PartyThe impeccably manicured fields

of the Santa Barbara Polo Club were looking more lustrous than usual when Mikimoto, one of the world’s top luxury goods companies, hosted a polo challenge with 350 guests to raise monies for the Polo Training Center of Santa Barbara.

The 120 year-old Japanese compa-ny, known for cultivating the world’s first cultured pearls, teamed up with Montecito milliner Lana Marmé, bankers Northern Trust and the Auto Gallery of Calabasas, among others, to raise around $30,000 for the center, based at the lush Carpinteria locale since being founded four years ago under the direction of Sunny Hale and Geannie Sheller, daughter of polo patriarch Glen Holden, former U.S. ambassador to Jamaica.

“How much better could this have gotten with this debut event?” gushed Geannie. “It totally sold out!”

As well as featuring a David versus Goliath four chukker closely fought polo match between a Northern Trust ten goal team and a 30 goal team fielded by Hoffman International Properties, one of the colorful event’s highlights was the Battle of the Chefs, featuring David Reardon of the Bacara, Alessandro Cartumini of the

Biltmore and Jason Tuley of Anchor Woodfire Kitchen.

Diners had to choose the best entrée from Reardon’s grilled lamb chops with herb goat cheese, Cartumini’s Maine lobster with peach and water-cress salad with avocado purée and white chocolate, and Tuley’s oak grilled sea bass with olive oil poached spot prawns.

It was a closely fought culinary bat-tle – accompanied with Chateau Ste. Michelle wines from Washington–, with Cartumini’s scrumptious cre-ation leading the rankings, after each table of ten had to signify their favor-ite dish by bursting colored balloons to delete the competition.

If those balloons weren’t quite big enough, a gigantic Ford Trucks teth-ered hot air balloon allowed partici-pants to go up and up, but, thankfully, not away.

Among those joining in the equestri-an fun were Glen and Gloria Holden, Arlene Montesano, Robert and Christine Emmons, Corinna Gordon, Chris and Mindy Denson, Pat and Ursula Nesbitt, Charles Ward, Bilo Zarif, Beverley Jackson, Memo and Carlos Gracida, sheriff Bill Brown, Leslie Ridley-Tree, Jeep Holden and Elizabeth Skene.

Pearls before wine, indeed!...

Red Carpet Treatment When it comes to red carpets, they

didn’t come much longer than the one rolled out for the world premiere of The Lone Ranger at Disney’s California Adventure in Anaheim starring local resident Michael Hammer’s son, Armie, as the masked ex-Texas ranger.

“I’ve never seen anything so long,” exclaims Michael, an inveterate car and art collector. “Armie and his co-star, Johnny Depp, must have been exhausted just walking down it! There were more than 150,000 fans lining it to catch a glimpse of them.

“It was almost surreal to think of Armie when he was a young boy and how he is being treated these days. It is pretty darn cool.

“But he is very grounded. That’s how we raised him in the Caribbean and it has stuck. He is a very gracious celebrity and the fans love him. I’m so unbelievably proud.”

The film, which had a reported bud-get of $250 million, opened on July 4 and was expected to be one of the blockbusters of the summer, based as it is on the popular 1950s TV series with the late Clayton Moore.

Next up for Armie is another TV remake, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., which was originally scheduled to have Tom Cruise in the role of Napoleon Solo against his Illya Kuryakin.

But because of scheduling con-flicts Cruise had to bow out and has been replaced by British actor Henry Cavill, who is now soaring at the box office as Superman in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel...

More Mayer for Perry Santa Barbara warbler Katy Perry

must really be determined to forget about her former husband, British comedian Russell Brand.

The “Firework” singer has just slashed $430,000 off the asking price of the Hollywood estate that she and Brand planned to use as their marital home.

The tony twosome, who got divorced after only 14 months together, had big plans for the three-acre historic estate before their relationship crumbled.

Park Hill is currently on the market for just over $6 million. The former Dos Pueblos High student originally paid $6.5 million for it back in June, 2011.

Ironically, the moving vans never got to move their furniture in before the couple got divorced and the huge property has remained empty ever since.

It was listed in April this year, but the price was slashed further to attract a buyer.

Built in 1921, the Mediterranean-style residence had a two-story grand entrance hall that continues into a two-story living room overlooking Los Angeles and the city’s dramatic skyline.

The property, just a tiara’s toss or two from Sunset Boulevard and the star studded Chateau Marmont, also has a two-story guest house.

Katy, 28, has already moved on in the property stakes since her divorce, recently splashing out $11.5 million on two adjacent properties in the Hollywood Hills, as I reported in this illustrious organ.

In the meantime, it seems Katy, who has been seen out and about with British Twilight star, Robert Pattinson, is now back with singer John Mayer.

They were spotted at New York’s Waldorf Astoria for the Friars Club roast of veteran comedian Don Rickles, 87.

“They looked one hundred percent back together,” crowed one eyewit-ness.

Curios CollectionsSocial gridlock reigned when the

Arts Fund opened its latest exhibi-tion SPECIMEN, featuring works by a number of local artists including Dug Uyesaka, Dan Levin, Tracy Beeler, Jim O’Mahoney, Sue Van Horstein, Norm Reed, Michael Long, Ethan Turpin, Matt Straka and Ted Mills.

“The show, which attracted 400 guests, grew out of a visit to Jim’s museum in the Funk Zone, where an alternative history of Santa Barbara is represented by an odd collection of curios,” says Ted, who is also the curator of the exhibition. “And that tapped into an early childhood visit to the British Museum of Natural History, with its old cabinets of skel-etons, eggs, weird drawings and old machinery.

“So I decided to ask several artists – many of them work in assemblage and hence spend their lives surround-ed by fascinating objects – to create their own cabinets filled to the brim with stuff. I like small, fiddly things. I hope for this show to keep you com-ing back, because there’s going to be things you missed.”

The exhibition runs through August 10...

Born On The Fourth Of July

Kessler Buckley was born at 11:41 am (mom, Jacqueline Buckley went into labor around 8:30 am) on July 4. Little Kessler weighed in at 8 lbs 5 oz and measured 20 inches. It was a home birth and Jacqueline’s baby boy was delivered by midwives Laurel Phillips, Alice Levine, and Jenna Humphreys. The women work through Santa Barbara Midwifery in conjunction with the Santa Barbara Birth Center.

Mother and child rested comfort-ably afterward. Present nearby were Jacqueline’s parents, Jon and Josee Cox, who had flown in from Great Falls, Virginia, where they live.

Billy’s StuffThe Complete Works of William

Shakespeare (Abridged) will be per-formed three nights only – July 12, 15, and 17, at 6:30 pm at Godric Grove in Elings Park (1298 Las Positas Road). Tickets are $15 at the door and if the principals behind this – Cheri Steinkellner, Carolyn Ross and Jessica Hambright – have put together a show as well-produced and acted as last year’s Our Town, your

money will have been well spent, as you are sure to enjoy this quick and somewhat ridiculous compilation of every one of the Bard’s 37 surviving works. Go online to www.upstageleft.brownpapertickets.com for more info. Otherwise, just show up at the park.

Lance’s BookWe go back over a decade with

Peter Lance, former 20/20 producer, Emmy Award winning ABC investi-gative reporter, and most recently of DUI fame, chronicled extensively in a 13-part News-Press series that ended with Lance’s exoneration and some bad publicity for the Santa Barbara Police Department and police officer

Kasi Beutel. Peter lived in Montecito, right around the corner from my house at the time and we connected when his first book on the World Trade Center terrorist plots came out, dealing with the culpability of one Ramzi Yousef in both the 1993 and 9/11 incidents at the World Trade Center. His book, 1000 Years for Revenge, revealed in minute detail the complicity of Yousef, Ali Mohamed and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed in those plots.

Lance has shifted his attention somewhat lately, and his newest tome, Deal With The Devil, exposes the sor-did connection between the FBI and Gregory Scarpa, a mob killer. I haven’t read it yet (I will), but Peter tells a ter-rific tale that he hopes will become a mini-series somewhere down the line.

Kessler Buckley arrived at 11:41 am on the Fourth of July; pictured here, he is already two days old

All of Shakespeare’s 37 plays are condensed into one ridicu-lously short rib-tickling performance in Elings Park for three nights only: July 12, 15, and 17

Santa Barbara Wine Festivalby Jeremy Harbin

The anticipated Santa Barbara Wine Festival paired perfectly with a warmer than usual Saturday in June, when winemakers and wine tast-ers gathered to pour, drink, eat and repeat. Ami Kearns of Cargasacchi approached the toasty weather con-ditions decanter-half-full: “A lot of people are happy because they came from Santa Ynez,” she observed as she poured a Pinot Grigio that had just been bottled in honor of the winery’s new tasting room near the Hitching Post in Buellton. Pouring for the Santa Barbara Winery, Ginny Holt provided a refreshing respite from the heat in the form of a Rosé of Syrah grown in the Santa Rita hills. “For most people, they think that Rosé is very sweet,” she explained, “but this one is a won-derful barbeque red for summer.”

Floral on the nose, the festival wound its way through the idyllic outdoor areas of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, expand-

ing to reveal not only area winemak-ers’ best, but also excellent offerings from local purveyors of fine foods. Matt Brady, Co-Winemaker for Jaffurs Wine Cellars, summed up the event: “This is my favorite festival of the year. We do something like this every week, and out of all of them, I think this is the best one. The setting back here in the trees next to the creek is so cool. The quality of the food is really good. That’s really my personal barometer for gauging the quality of any event – how good the food is. The food here’s great.” It’s elegant, but not complex: this festival provides a per-fect balance of wineries, restaurants, and atmosphere that keeps the mak-ers and the appreciators coming back year after year. •MJ

Hitchcock al fresco – Santa Barbara’s free summer film series is back, and this time it’s going for the jugular. Alfred Hitchcock Nights: Eight Classic Films of Obsession, Mystery and Suspense includes screenings of some of the famed director’s iconic films, with the downtown screenings taking place outdoors under the night sky at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Sunken Gardens on Fridays, so you never know what might creep up beside you, or drop down from above. (For the more timid, the films also show indoors every Wednesday at UCSB’s Campbell Hall). Due this week: Rear Window (July 10 & 12), Hitchcock’s tail about a magazine photographer, housebound due to a broken leg, who spends his time watch-ing the apartment building across the way and apparently witnesses a murder. Coming next week: North by Northwest (July 17 & 19), in which a suave, suc-cessful New York advertising executive finds himself, through a case of mistaken identity, embroiled in a web of intrigue and murder that takes him across the country. Montecito resident Eva Marie Saint, who starred as the exec’s girlfriend in the thriller, will appear in conversation with Dr. Allan Langdale, instructor of a long-running Hitchcock class at UCSB, prior to the screening at the courthouse. Remember to bring blankets and/or low-backed beach chairs and a picnic dinner, if desired, for the Courthouse screenings.

Happy Together tour – The cynic might say, “Well, of course they’re happy – they’re getting paid to play the same old songs they’ve been doing for decades.” But those who have come to one of annual these ‘60s-’70s extravaganzas at the Chumash Casino know that the concert is a terrific trip down memory lane, performed by the original hit-makers of some of the most iconic songs from nearly 50 years ago. And more often than not, the guys still have their chops. This year’s edition features Chuck Negron, the original lead singer of the rock-soul band 3 Dog Night whose hits were their own special covers of a wide variety of songs, from country bar favorites (Hoyt Axton’s “Joy to the World”) to Broadway musicals

(“Easy to be Hard” from Hair), to quirky singer-songwriters Harry Nilsson (“One”) and Randy Newman (“Mama Told Me Not to Come”); Gary Puckett, the lead singer of the Union Gap (“Young Girl,” “Lady Willpower”); Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere & the Raiders (“Kicks,” “Hungry,” “Indian Reservation”); Gary Lewis & the Playboys (“This Diamond Ring”); and of course tour founders and Turtles frontmen Flo & Eddie (“You Showed Me,” “Elenore,” “Happy Together,” “She’d Rather Be With Me”).

TIRED OF LIVING WITH DEPRESSION

The loneliness and despair of depression can be overwhelming. When talking cures and drug therapies are not working a gentle touch using healing energy could be an answer. By lightly manipulating and massaging the facets of the skull, depression may begin to lift.

I feel blessed to have been given this wonderful inherited gift. Using my intuition I follow my hands and help you experience an emotional and physical homeostasis. I feel confident about this work and I offer a money back guarantee. You have nothing to lose. Please call today for an appointment.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 17

Belle of the Bowl – In their only Southern California appearance this summer, Belle and Sebastian play the Santa Barbara Bowl tonight, stepping up to the city’s biggest venue for a warm early evening show. The Scottish indie-pop band has long been a cult and critical fave since forming back in 1996, and has sold nearly 3 million albums along the way, most of then since moving its base to California seven years ago. The band’s new release, The Third Eye Centre, out just last month, is a compilation of rarities and B-sides

from the past decade, so expect to hear all sorts of oddities as well as the well-known songs at this show. Opening is Best Coast, the SoCal duo of Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno who thrilled audiences in the tiny space at SohO just last year, if memory serves. WHEN: 7pm WHERE: 1122 North Milpas St. COST: $44.50-$49.50 INFO: 962-7411 or www.sbbowl.com

away, nor is there a natural gently slop-ing hill to provide graduated seating on the lawn. But the tree-lined grounds are stunningly beautiful, providing shade and a natural beauty that’s clearly con-ducive to concerts. And while the crowds aren’t nearly as large for the summertime Music at the Ranch series, that also means a lot more room for picnick-ing, frolicking, dancing (on an actual portable dance floor, to boot) or what-have-you, to similar sounds that you’ll find on the beach, albeit with a purely local flavor. The series kicks off tonight with Latin music favorite Tony Ybarra, who appeared at the same venue last

month for Fiesta Ranchera and who has a brand-new CD not coincidentally titled Fiesta just out on his own label. Coming over the following five weeks are blues with the Henderson Brothers (July 23), jazz by the Les Rose Ensemble (July 30), salsa from Mezcal Martini, vintage blues by Donna Greene & the Roadhouse Daddies, and hugely popular dance-cover band Area 51, who also played at Fiesta Ranchera (August 20). Bring food and drink, blankets, lawn chairs – and your dancing shoes. WHEN: 5:30-7:30pm WHERE: 304 North Los Carneros Rd. COST: free INFO: 681-7216 or www.stowhouse.com •MJ

MUSIC ACADEMy (Continued from page 26)century (8pm; Granada, $15-$48).

Mon., July 15: This week’s Mosher Guest Artist is the pianist Jeremy Denk, known for both his virtuosic playing and his writing, including an ongoing blog that covers subjects musical and beyond. Denk, who per-formed at UCSB’s Campbell Hall and conducted a masterclass with stu-dents there just last March, begins his visit to Miraflores with another pub-lic coaching session with the talented solo piano fellows (1pm; Hahn Hall; $15 keyboard side, $13). Denk – who will be back in the area again next June to serve as artistic director of the prestigious Ojai Festival – will also participate in Tuesdays@8 tomorrow night at Hahn, and play a full recital at the same venue on Wednesday... With soon-to-be-former New York Philharmonic concertmaster Glenn Dicterow set to join the full-time festival faculty next summer, the Academy is employing visiting vio-linists to fill the slot long held by Zvi Zeitlin before his death late last spring. This week, it’s Brian Lewis, a versatile and charismatic violin-ist who has offered concerto debuts in both Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall, as well as appeared with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s and the Berlin (Germany), Louisiana, Kansas City, Syracuse, Hartford, Odense (Denmark), Greenwich, Wichita, Lima (Peru), Topeka, Boulder, Guadalajara (Mexico), and Sinfonia Toronto (Canada) symphony orches-tras, among many others. His numer-ous recital appearances include per-formances across the United States, including the Mostly Mozart Festival and the Great Performer’s Series at Lincoln Center in New York. His only public appearance at MAW 2013 is today’s violin masterclass (3:15pm; Lehmann, $13/$12).

Tues. July 16: We’ve seen plenty of New York Philharmonic princi-pal violist Cynthia Phelps in the 805 recently, including the NY Phil’s first Santa Barbara concert in 44 years at the Granada in spring 2012 and again last winter as a co-soloist with Dicterow for the Santa Barbara Symphony, not to mention the last two summers here at the Music Academy. Phelps, who isn’t retiring next year, has so many accolades there’s no point in beginning to list

them here, save perhaps for mention-ing that her most recent album, with the Les Amies trio, was nominated for a Grammy Award. Which makes her the perfect leader for today’s string chamber masterclass (1pm; Lehmann, $13/$12)... Phelps also gets two slots on tonight’s Tuesdays@8 concert, teaming with pianist Denk for Benjamin Britten’s Lachrymae, the first of two works commemorating the English composer’s 100th birth-day (the Phantasy Quartet is next week), and joining flutist Timothy Day and harpist JoAnn Turovsky for Debussy’s pioneering sonata that established a new instrumental ensemble that has become de rigueur today. Also of note: percussion facul-ty member Ted Atkatz’s 2012 compo-sition Turn Key Hotel, in which he’ll be joined by fellow faculty percus-sionist Michael Werner for the piece written for guitar and percussion. Lowenthal plays Ravel’s Sonatine and pianists Natasha Kislenko and Margaret McDonald perform John Musto’s two-piano arrangement of Symphonic Dances from Bernstein’s West Side Story to round out the gen-erous program (8pm; Hahn; $40).

Wed., July 17: The guests just keep on comin’: today’s it’s cellist Joshua Roman, a one-time prodigy who just keeps growing in ability, con-fidence and stature; he’s now serv-ing as the festival’s first Academy Alumnus in Residence. Roman con-ducts the cello masterclass featuring fellows just a few years younger than he is (1pm; Lehmann, $13/$12), and he’ll also play in the Britten in next week’s Tuesdays@8... Denk’s recital features just two works, but they’re monumental pieces: Schumann’s Davidsbündlertänze, Op. 6, and Bach’s Goldberg Variations BWV 988 (8pm; Hahn, $50).

Off CampusNormally, we get to see the fellows

and faculty of the summer festival only on the Miraflores campus. Sure, you might catch a glimpse of fellows shopping on State Street or strolling back from sunbathing on Butterfly Beach in a rare spare hour or two. But most of the public events at the summer music festival take place in the various venues on the former

11 – 18 July 2013 MONTECITO JOURNAL 45Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak

Montecito estate, save for orchestral concerts at the Granada.

But the fellows also carpool downtown for weekly concerts at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art on Thursday afternoons. The perfor-mances mirror the pop-ular Picnic Concerts at Hahn Hall, as the stu-dents perform pieces they’ve been working on during the summer in coachings and mas-

terclasses, and since the space is small and admission is free, there’s a huge demand for the limited seat-ing. Complimentary tickets are dis-tributed on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at 1:30pm at the museum’s back entrance, so don’t tarry.

Even more special is the one-off appearance by NYCO at SOhO on Thursday. This is the rock band that Ted Atkatz left his position as Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s principal per-cussionist in order to pursue, which made headlines back in 2007. Atkatz, who is the band’s guitarist-singer-

songwriter, reformed NYCO when he moved to LA in 2008, and since then the trio has played at SXSW and the Coachella Festival just this past spring. NYCO has three albums out, including last year’s Future Imperfect, and you can bet all of his percussion fellows and a whole lot of other MAW supporters will be on hand for the 10pm concert.

Finally, Slatkin also has a special date on Thursday; the music direc-tor will discuss and sign copies of his new book Conducting Business at Chaucer’s Books on upper State Street at 7pm. •MJ

Conductor Leonard Slatkin returns to lead the Academy Festival Orchestra on Saturday, June 13; he will also sign cop-ies of his new book Conducting Business at Chaucer’s on Thursday, July 11
