Readers come fromall around the globe

FFIIEESSTTAADEAR EDITOR: Regarding Ann

Peyrat’s column “Fourth time’s a charm foruber-Fiesta reunion” in the August 5 -11,2011 issue: Fiesta did not always occur onthe first weekend in August.The tradition was to celebrate the full

moon in August. Look back at early posters.The date was sometimes in the middle of themonth, to coincide with the lunar event.

Paula MauroSanta Barbara

MIRAMARDEAR EDITOR: As a response to your

recent article on the Miramar demolition,please consider the possibility that very neg-ative consequences might follow. The SantaBarbara area has an unfortunate history inthe form of chaotic conditions that appearwhen vacant parcels of attractively located

land, especially those that border on theoceanfront, are left unused. We shouldremember the problems of trash disposal,blatant trespass, and ugly confrontations thathave taken place here in the recent past. The More Mesa, the Wilcox property, and

Bonneymead are graphic reminders of whathas taken place in similar situations. Thishistory tells me that the exceptionally attrac-tive features at the Miramar location willgenerate serious social and political prob-lems if the property is cleared and therebyinvites unauthorized use. Public pressure for access will become

irresistible, and we who live here will dis-cover that we will have an unregulated, ille-gal, defacto public recreational resource. Weshould think very carefully before assertingany pressure to demolish.

BY ELISE CLEMENTSMontecito Messenger

About 50 residents crowded the ElMontecito Presbyterian Church ParishHall Monday evening to hear details ofthe YMCA’s multimillion-dollar reno-vation project.The Montecito Association hosted

the forum, where YMCA representa-tives and architect DesignARCexplained the plans.The YMCA hopes to build a second

story to the main building, add anindoor pool, renovate the preschool,and build a new gymnasium. “This isprobably the biggest addition to thecommunity that will benefit Montecitoin our lifetime,” said Tim Werner, cap-ital campaign committee chairman forthe project.The YMCA will submit plans to the

county soon, but is gathering inputfrom the community first. Once plansare approved, the YMCA will look toraise the money for the project throughdonations and grants.The nonprofit has been working for

three years planning the project Wernersaid. The YMCA surveyed staff mem-

bers and called or met with 600 resi-dents to generate ideas. He said that theY has grown too big for its space, not-ing that multiple storage units clutterthe property, and gym goers oftenresort to lifting weights on an outsideterrace. Expanding the weight room was a

common concern gathered from thesurveys.Residents also want a better pool,

Werner said. Montecito does not have apublic pool. Under the proposal, thepool would expand from five lanes toseven. The new indoor pool is designedfor rehabilitation purposes. Childrenand seniors could also benefit, he said.About a dozen residents spoke in

opposition, voicing various concerns.The most common revolved aroundtraffic, the look of the buildings, andexpanding in an area that has a ruralfeel.Phoebe Alexiades said that she has

been a longtime member of the YMCAand does not think the project is neces-sary. “I don’t have a problem with whatit doesn’t have,” she said. “To me thisis over the top and unacceptable.” She

said she hoped the gym could be builtat another location, possibly across thestreet.Michael Lee, who owns four proper-

ties near the YMCA, said that it wouldbe “terrible for traffic. Santa Rosa Laneturns into a freeway in the morning,”he said, due to parents dropping offtheir children. This could be com-pounded by expanded gym traffic park-ing at Manning Park.The YMCA said it had conducted a

parking study, which showed that traf-fic would only be affected if member-ship rose above 2,300 members. Theyexpect their membership to increasefrom about 1,400 members to approxi-mately 1,570, well below the study’sthreshold.At the Montecito Association meet-

ing on Tuesday, Land Use Committeechair David Kent reported that themeeting had been a success. “Wereceived useful input from neighborsand community people. We will takethis up at our next committee meeting.”That is scheduled for 4 p.m. onSeptember 6 at Montecito Hall in theUpper Village library.

GUEST OPINION

NEWS

As we all know, our state,nation, and entire world haveall been facing extraordinarilychallenging economic circum-stances over the past fewyears. Santa Barbara Countyhas unfortunately not been anexception. And while it is gen-erally accepted that the hous-ing market crash, the stockmarket collapse, and ensuingrise of unemployment have collided toimpact all our lives in one way oranother, the jury is still out on how wecan effectively turn it all around. Here at home, it is the responsibility

of County government to do absolutelyeverything possible to expedite ourpath back toward local economic pros-perity. In doing so it would be irre-sponsible to avoid the many difficultdecisions at hand, or to avoid pursuingnecessary changes which will increaseour efficiency well into the future. It isequally careless to oversimplify our

County’s finances withabstract concepts, or to scape-goat our public employees asthe easy fix to this complexchallenge.Although continuing our

work toward a solution maybe a difficult process, I amconfident that if all stakehold-ers work together we will beable to achieve additional sav-

ings and create a more sustainablefinancial future for our County overall.Furthermore, I am confident that if wecontinue our progress in tackling sever-al important challenges before us,much better times will ensue for us all. In addressing our challenges, it is

important to understand the basic factsregarding County employees and theircompensation. Santa Barbara Countycurrently employs over 3,600 people(down from over 4,200 in 2008) from awide range of professions and trades,most of which are found in the private

sector as well. The County employsdoctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers,planners and accountants, just to namea few. Most public employees havedecided to forgo opportunities in theprivate sector with higher salaries andgreater perks in exchange for morelong term stability and defined retire-ment benefits. According to an October 2010 poli-

cy brief released by the UC BerkleyInstitute for Research on Labor andEmployment, “when total compensa-tion is taken into account state andlocal public sector workers inCalifornia are similarly compensated toworkers in the private sector.” As wehave seen, in good economic timesthere is not much concern that publicemployees do not receive salaries ashigh as their counterparts in the privatesector. But in bad economic times,they seem to be an easy target for thosewho are looking for someone to blame.

VOICES

From Montecito toManhattan, Democrats whobacked Hillary Clinton overBarack Obama for presidentin 2008 are repeating oneword, loud and clear:“Toldja!”Following the spectacle of

Obama getting his clockcleaned by Republicans in theU.S. debt deal, and the nationnow seemingly headed for a doubledip recession, Team Hillary types arerecalling the political rap sheet used tobash him during their fierce fight forthe nomination — way more sizzlethan steak, he would prove too soft,vain and inexperienced to stand up tothe GOP or respond effectively to the“3 a.m. call” of a crisis.“He lacks the experience, leadership

and passion to do the job,” one promi-nent local insider who backed Clintontold me. “Those of us who supportedHillary are not feeling smug, but veryfrustrated about Obama because thecountry is in such a mess.”Similar sentiments echoed loudly in

The Daily Beast, the must-read websitebased in New York’s smart set ChelseaDistrict, which reported calls withinpolitical circles there for Clinton tomount a new primary challenge nextyear.“Among Clinton fans, particularly

older women, the language was fre-quently far more caustic,” said the site,run by media queen pin Tina Brown.“‘Obama has no spine and no balls,’said a 67-year-old New Yorker.” Not to put too fine a point on it.Clinton’s strong performance as

Secretary of State has sent her publicapproval ratings soaring near 70 per-cent – while Obama’s have droppedinto the low 40s.Mindful of how the late Ted

Kennedy’s primary bid contributed tothe 1980 defeat of Jimmy Carter,

another weak and weakenedDemocratic incumbent, herlocal fans say they don’texpect the Run-Hillary-Runmovement to gain much trac-tion, however, resigned topondering what might havebeen.

Hawkeye State CattleCall: The first rule of poli-

tics, of course, is that you can’t beatsomebody with nobody. So Obama, despite self-inflicted

wounds and a badly sagging economy,can still be cheered by the currentstate of the Republican presidentialfield.Political horserace junkies across

the spectrum will cast close eyes onthat, um, eclectic group this weekend,when GOP voters in Iowa, site of thefirst official primary contest sixmonths hence, cast ballots in the quad-rennial pre-season exercise known asthe Ames Straw Poll.As a practical matter, the event is

merely a glorified fundraiser for thestate Republican party; as a politicalmatter, however, it is given great sig-nificance by Washington’sMainstream Media, which endlesslyover-analyzes and over-interprets itsresults in efforts to divine the futureshape of the race (in fairness to theBeltway Wizards, the winner of thenon-binding poll in three of the lastfive GOP races advanced to win thecrucial Iowa caucuses the followingyear).With your favorite cable news chan-

nel certain to be consumed with talk ofthe straw poll this weekend, muchbuzz will follow the relative perform-ances of Representative MicheleBachmann and fellow Minnesotan TimPawlenty, former governor of theGolden Gopher state. Both are spend-ing big and competing hard to win,

each hoping to emerge as the key cam-paign foil to Mitt Romney, the nominalbut not-so-popular front-runner.The fiscally austere and socially

conservative right-wing voters whodominate the Republican primary elec-torate are deeply suspicious of the ex-Massachusetts governor, his Mormonbeliefs and history of shifting positionsand flip flops on key issues, from abor-tion rights to universal health careinsurance. At a time when GOP candidates are

incessantly subjected to purity snifftests by hardliners, Bachmann andPawlenty are scrapping over the size-able political turf to the right ofRomney, dominated by Tea Partiersand evangelical Christians, oncethought the province of Sarah Palin,who’s not on the straw poll ballot. (Memo to the wagering community:

1-The Iowa poll allows write-ins, sothe Thrilla’ from Wasilla could stillmake news if Palinistas show up heav-ily armed with pencils; 2-Those wholike betting long shots should considerRon Paul, the libertarian Texas con-gressman whose fiscal policies wouldhave us all carry gold bullion insteadof paper money in our pockets andpurses).In the end, it’s possible that the

straw poll sweepstakes are overshad-owed by Texas Governor Rick Perry,who’s been dropping not-very-subtlehints for weeks about entering the race,who is promising a “major announce-ment” on Saturday and plans to be inIowa the next day. “He’s the real deal,” one enthusias-

tic evangelical activist told theHouston Chronicle of Perry. “He jogswith a handgun.”That makes me feel so much safer.

Matt Sanchez and his Montecito Barbersare finally back in their accustomed location.After a fire destroyed the long-time busi-

ness 13 months ago, the owners on Tuesdayreturned to their old spot, after a full renova-tion of the fire-charred space.

“It’s really exciting,” said owner MattSanchez. “So many people have stopped by.”The fire that started in Xanadu Bakery

burned down most of the shop in July 2010.Until last week, the Sanchez family had beenworking out of temporary space on the otherside of the building.The new walls are bright and white, mag-

azines are strewn across the waiting chairs,and the classic barber chairs have beenreupholstered.Though he had the opportunity to change

the shop’s decor, Sanchez said he wanted tostick with tradition and kept the old look.“I can’t see changing something that’s

worked,” Sanchez said. Tradition means a lot to the Sanchez fam-

ily, which has more than 40 years of historyin its current spot at 1028 Coast Village Roadsince 1966.

“We’ve got three generations workinghere,” Sanchez said.Tradition is also what keeps the customers

coming around. Peter DaRos, a customer formore than 20 years and counting, said it’sthat simple. “It’s the tradition and the goodservice,” DaRos said.Customer loyalty went a long way to help-

ing Sanchez get back on track. After the shophad been repaired, he said people turned outin droves to help put things back in place.And now Matt and his son Tim are cutting

hair, along with his dad Bob and compatriotJess Martinez, answering the phone, and chat-ting with customers as if it’s any other day. People walk by the shop and poke their

head in to say hi. One UPS delivery man witha shaved head jokes that the shop will losebusiness now that his hair’s gone. Anotherman comes in and drops a strong Joe Pesciimpersonation.Both Tim and Matt said that’s business as

usual. Montecito Barbers is more than just aplace people come to have to have their hairdone. They’re also the “greeters” of the shop-ping center and a place to just hang out.“Everybody that comes in just grows

friendships,” Sanchez said.

COVER STORY

The MiramarDEMOLITION

DRAMA

NEWS ANALYSIS

Caruso may feel growing pressureto tear down the Miramar

MONTECITO IS regarded as one ofAmerica’s most beautiful commu-nities. Ironically, its iconic Miramar

Beach is now best known for a progressivelyworsening eyesore, the only result from adecade-long reign of three failed developers.The current owner, Caruso Affiliated of

Los Angeles, is into its third year of a searchfor financing. Meanwhile, Montecito resi-dents are paying a terrible price, particularlythe hotel’s neighbors and the hundreds ofpeople who enjoy the pleasures of MiramarBeach every day of the year.Owner Rick Caruso and his team live

elsewhere. They could not possibly compre-hend the depth of harm the quaint neighbor-hood has suffered. Nor could they appreciatethe damage done to its quality of life becauseof their decision to leave the remains of theonce grand Miramar Hotel standing, despitemultiple requests by the MontecitoAssociation to tear it down.“It’s a disgrace to Montecito and Santa

Barbara,” says Lorenzo Dall’Armi who livesnext to the property. “It’s a nightmare for us.”Timely financing is the best outcomeThe best outcome is for a financing pack-

age to come together. Even in bad times,that’s not impossible. Caruso Affiliated isexperienced and determined. Its signatureaccomplishment, The Grove in Los Angeles,is reason to hope. The company is also capa-ble of a grand achievement here.

The Miramar situation presents the com-munity with an increasingly awkward stale-mate born of good intentions. Each side isdesperate for progress. Caruso wants to buildand own a profitable hotel. Montecito wantsthe blight on the beach replaced by a newresort with appealing amenities and a steadyflow of tax revenue. Approaching the tipping pointAfter 10 years of plans and talk, the

Miramar debacle is approaching the tippingpoint. What’s new … how might the dramabegin to unfold this fall? The short answer is that if Caruso contin-

CCaarruussoo AAffffiilliiaatteedd rreessppoonnddssQuestion asked by Montecito Messenger on

August 8, 2011:Would Caruso Affiliated agree to meet with Santa

Barbara County government officials and MontecitoAssociation leaders within the next 4 weeks to exploreoptions for demolition of the Miramar Hotel this fallregardless of whether financing is obtained?

Response by Matt Middlebrook, Senior VicePresident, Development, Caruso Affiliated onAugust 9, 2011:The community’s desire to see the buildings torn

down is not new. We’ve heard the community’s frus-tration with the state of the Miramar loud and clear. Weshare their frustration as we continue to try to build anew hotel. However, as the recent severe stock marketcrash indicated, the economy continues to falter, and themarket for financing new hotel development is verychallenging.However, we have worked to be responsive to the

community. Following the hearings on the first exten-sion for our project approvals in March 2010, we heardthe community concerns about security and debris andwent to great lengths to secure every building, removeall debris, and to add security at the site. As a result,reports of people on illegally on the site have droppedto almost zero.At that same hearing (readily available for viewing

on the County web site) there was a significant discus-sion regarding the desire of some to see the buildingsdemolished. To meet the conditions for demolition willcost millions of dollars. This includes the mitigation feeof $1.4 million due to the County (as required by theCoastal Commission) upon the pulling of a building ordemolition permit. A separate condition requires thatbefore pulling a demolition permit all applicablePlanning and Development fees must be paid in full.These are in addition to the numerous other conditionsthat we would have to meet prior to tearing the build-ings down. Moreover, these costs are in addition to theapproximately $100,000 per month it costs simply tomaintain the property in its current state.Particularly in this troubled economy, we are unfor-

tunately not prepared to invest millions of dollars into aproject absent financing and a clear path to constructionof the project. We have made this position clear to thecommunity and to the Board of Supervisors previouslyand our position remains the same. We remain com-mitted to the Miramar project, and are grateful to theongoing support of so many people. We remain hope-ful that will be able to move forward with the projectand restore the tradition of the Miramar.

Above, Children play in the ocean in front of the Miramar Hotel, but thebeach in front of the rotting structures is mostly vacant. Below and right,this unsightly Miramar Hotel debris is adjacent to the boarded up oceanfront rooms. Gas and electricity have been shut off, but unsecured gatesallow public access. On the front page, in a photo taken this week, twogates are shown to be unlocked, meaning easy public access to thebeachfront rooms. However, Sheriff reports indicate no incidents.

Locals weigh in on Miramar blightBY ELISE CLEMENTS

Montecito MessengerLast week, viewed from the beach that

skirts it, the white painted Miramar looksalmost spectral. It fades into the sunbleached sky and blends with the sand.Where clusters of beachgoers patchwork thestrip adjacent the hotel’s beach house, the

vacancy in front of the Miramar stands outlike a missing tooth.“It looks like it needs some help,” said

Caitlin Wyman. “It looks like it needs a littleTLC.”Wyman’s umbrella-staked perch was the

last stand of beach towel hangouts before theyawning gap between the hotel and the

ocean. The 23-year-old Santa Barbara resi-dent had never been there before, and wascompletely unfamiliar with the Miramar. Still, she caught a whiff of the Miramar

that was as she gave the hotel a look over. She said she appreciated the simple

design, understated and elegant, and felt ithelped create an appropriate “beachy feel.”

“It doesn’t need anything drastic,” shesaid. Several other beach goers had grown up

with the beach and hotel and affirmed thatWyman’s appraisal fit exactly the Miramarthey knew.“It was classic, elegant and fun,” said

BY JUDY FOREMANMontecito Messenger

Since October 2010 Christy Martin’sLifestyle Boutique “Encanto” has beenattracting locals and visitors to the HistoricLa Arcada shopping center in downtownSanta Barbara.Ms. Martin relocated to Santa Barbara

from Tucson, Arizona where her firm StudioEncanto has been an award-winning interiordesigner for the past 25 years, specializing inSpanish Colonial Revival, Santa BarbaraMission, Contemporary, Santa Fe and OldRanch Interiors. She was also the premier designer for the

2009 CALM Design Showcase House inSanta Barbara “Casa Robles.”Still active in the interior design business

Christy thought it might be fun to go beyondinteriors and into a little bit of fashion. Sheis constantly asked “where did you get that?”“Whether it is a dress, shoes, or piece of

jewelry it is really fun to share these itemsthat have a good design elements. I love hav-ing the mix of home things and unique per-sonal items,” she said. The large airy corner space of Encanto is

footsteps from the Santa Barbara Art Museumand makes her shop a must-stop to check outher latest finds from her travels to Turkey,Greece, Italy or unique items made in the

United States. Her choices of furniture, linens,dishes, handbags, slippers, candles, art, cof-fee table books, tableware to name a few ofher items are finely choreographed withoutbeing over the top and are always changing.Support of non-profits in the Santa

Barbara community has also been one of Ms.Martin’s interests. Most recently she hosteda trunk show on First Thursday, Aug. 4, forjewelry designer Dale Kern who shares thatsame passion. Half of all items from Ms.Kern’s jewelry sales went to The BreastCancer Resource Center Of Santa Barbara.Ms. Kern, who has had more than nine

lives, brought a fresh voice and point of viewto numerous publications and projects shehas written for, contributed to or edited sincethe 1970s. Ms. Kern has lived all over theworld and relocated to Santa Barbara fromthe Bay Area in 2002.Dale started her company Milbesos as a

My friend and neighborKatie O’Reilly Rogers – land-scape architect extraordinaire –has beautified many a home inMontecito. Bringing long-last-ing joy to her clients hasearned her great respect andadoration. Katie has recentlydiscovered a new kind of joythat was unexpected and hasbeen overwhelming. Katiehad surgery to remove a largecancerous tumor in her brain in earlyApril. I have been a part of a neighbor-hood-wide effort to support Katie andher family in this most challengingtime. “Kate Carter (of Life Chronicles) ral-

lied the neighborhood to bring us mealsvia www.takethemameal.com,” saidKatie. “Since April 7 my mom has hadto cook only a few times. It is justamazing the way my friends and neigh-bors have showered me with generosityand help.” She pointed out somethingthat bears sharing here. “People feelvalued and able to do something biggerthan ourselves and are able to rise to theneed. This is a great neighborhood andcommunity filled with people who like

being needed and having theopportunity to give back. Oneof my friends told me that forher, helping cook for us was agreat way to pay it forward.”I joined others to drive

Katie to daily radiation treat-ments at the Cancer Center ofSanta Barbara. On the wayhome recently, Katie spokeabout the culture of caringand compassion of the staff at

the Cancer Center. She commented, “Ifpeople treated each other every day likewe are treated here at the CancerCenter, the world would be a differentplace.” The Cancer Center of Santa Barbara

is blessed with a visionary, powerfulboard of directors, many of whom areMontecito residents. They include:Hugh M. Boss – Vice Chairman, JamesH. Jackson, Les Charles, James A.Shattuck, Christy Walters Kolva, andnew Trustees Michael Cooney, FrankFoster and Dr. David Bradford.The non-profit center is 62 years old

and was founded by a patient namedLillian Converse who was determinedthat people in greater Santa Barbara

should have access to cutting edge tech-nology and wellness services, and nothave to drive to Los Angeles for treat-ments. Indeed we are very fortunate tohave such a comprehensive cancertreatment center right here in SantaBarbara. My father and many friendshave benefitted from their extraordinarycare. Undoubtedly, many of you readingthis have had experience with theCancer Center via a friend or loved one.I spoke to the Center’s PR represen-

tative Lindsay Groark, who explainedthat the Cancer Center’s core values areDedication, Compassion,Professionalism and Integrity. Katieconfirmed that the staff was warm, per-sonal and committed to the patient’sneeds. “Within a few days of treat-ments, they all knew my name. Thestaff is like a big family. It is human tohuman interaction – not nurse topatient.” The Center has created an environ-

ment where patients feel safe and com-fortable interacting and sharing personalexperiences and coping techniques;gaining valuable support from theirpeers and family members. The Cancer

The Cancer Center hasserved many Montecitoresidents and currentlyhas several Montecitanson its board.

An UtterlyDelicious Read

The School of Essential Ingredients

BY CINDY LYONSMontecito Messenger

As summer speeds by, we should seize anopportunity to slow down, enjoy our lovelyweather, and take some time to reflect beforelife picks up again with full force after LaborDay. Erica Bauermeister’s delicious debutnovel, “The School of EssentialIngredients,” gives us something quick andeasy to read yet illustrates with lusciousprose some important and basic ingredientsfor living a more meaningful life.We live in a fast-paced world. We proba-

bly all can acknowledge the need to slowdown, to breathe deeply, to enjoy more oftena lovingly prepared meal with friends andfamily, to read a good book, or to simply be. Cooking is the medium Bauermeister uti-

lizes to share her message of the importanceand the seductive power of some of thesmaller and simpler things in life, and at thesame time, be reminded of their beauty.Bauermeister’s novel takes place in the

kitchen of respected chef and restaurateurLillian who offers a cooking class once amonth for eight individuals. Each characteris drawn to the anonymity of Lillian’s classand each is looking for something more thanwhat the kitchen and the class have to offer. In Lillian’s words, “a holiday is a lot like

a kitchen – what’s important is what comesout of it.”With each chapter, the characters’ stories

unfold. Whether you are a foodie or not, any-one reading this soulful novel will be trans-formed by the flavorful and aromatic proseand the magic that emanates from Lillian’skitchen through each character’s chosen dishand story. Lillian uses food as a barometer for mem-

ory, healing, sustenance, pleasure, and love,somehow intuitively knowing what recipeswill draw each character out and be tailoredto their specific needs. Lillian had a rather unusual childhood that

decisively set the stage for her magic as achef, a healer, and an effective facilitator.Fueled by her mother’s long “literary

sleep” after her father’s departure, smellsbecame words for Lillian and the more shecooked and her culinary skills grew, shebegan to view spices as carriers of emotionsand memories. Being a tactile and sensualhuman being, Lillian grew to believe in the

power of cooking. She believes in food likesome people believe in religion. Shebelieves in cooking as giving life to some-thing anew. The novel begins dramatically with a

young woman struggling with her identity asa new wife and mother. Lillian’s meal selec-tion for Claire’s story is the killing andpreparation of crabs. Somehow through thisrich, complicated and seemingly violentprocess, Claire whose life-sustaining role asa mother feels herself and her many frac-tured pieces begin to fuse and her healingprocess begin.Two other characters, Helen and Carl,

provide a central role in the novel and helpthe other students’ lives become connectedand ultimately, intertwined. This elderlymarried couple, however, share a secret thatwith time was woven into the complex fab-ric of their relationship and helped to definetheir deep and lasting marriage. Lillian’schoice for Helen and Carl is baking a whitecake, as baking a cake is a “delicate chemi-cal equation.” Lillian believes a cake is a lotlike a marriage and that all couples shouldmake their own wedding cake as part of thepreparation for their life together. Antonia, new to America, left her home in

Talk to any Montecito residentabout sustainability and most willtell you they’ve been recyclingsince long before there was a wordfor it.And it’s true, whether you call it

maintaining, preserving, conserv-ing, perpetuating, or sustaining,this has been the guiding light ofMontecito’s continued beauty andcharacter. Just looking aroundtown, it’s obvious that Montecito residentsvalue the environment.The dictionary defines the word “sustain-

able” as “conserving an ecological balanceby avoiding depletion of natural resources.”The Montecito Association, begun in

1948, states as its mission that it is “... com-mitted to leading the community in thepreservation, protection, and enhancementof the semi-rural residential character ofMontecito.”Through the work of the Montecito Trails

Foundation and others, we know that takingcare of nature is what citizens have alwaysdone here. With technology, the whole con-cept of sustainability has expanded to includenew ways of being environmentally awareand effective. Marborg will soon pick upbatteries, for example, and there is a weekdaydrop off center in Santa Barbara for electron-ics (i.e., anything with a cord) and paints.All this talk about thinking globally while

acting locally and trying to understand whatis or is not recyclable these days has gottenso overwhelmingly confusing that just con-sidering the subject makes most of us looklongingly at our watches to see if it’s cock-tail hour yet.But it is not as complicated as it seems.We will uncover, understand, and realize

that the beauty of this discussion is simplythat what sustains the earth is actually whatsustains us.It turns out that being a sustainability par-

ticipant today usually means upholding ele-gant standards that enhance and add enjoy-ment to our lives, such as using cloth ratherthan disposable paper napkins. Did you

know that used paper napkins arenot recyclable?Keeping an assortment of cloth

napkins on hand delights guests ofany age. In fact, I have yet to meetanyone who prefers paper napkins!Changes we make can also help

us take part in activities we didn’tthink we had time to enjoy. Somepeople are so busy that the idea ofhaving a vegetable garden is in

their future plan category of life. RaymondSodomka of Turk Hessellund Nursery says,“There is something unique about being ableto harvest your own food directly just pickedin your own yard and it doesn’t necessarilyrequire a huge time commitment.” He saysthat growing your own food can be as simpleas the tomatoes he grew in pots last year,enjoying a nice yield for 3 or 4 months. Hisstaff can help you decide which crops arebest for your schedule and micro climate. With a little help and guidance, we can

take on projects that teach us the what, how,why and fun of sustainability. Mary Sheldonof Tecolote Books in the upper villagestocks an evolving selection of sustainabilitybooks ranging in subject from green archi-tecture to edible gardens to bee keeping.Mary actually grew and harvested her ownblack tea by following the directions in oneof the books on Tecolote’s shelves.

realizes the implications of failed financing,things could begin to change. Four factorswill help shape the action because they couldcreate powerful currents in the community.First, locals are increasingly skeptical

about the developer’s public pronounce-ments. Second, there is a rising voice fordemolition now. Third, Santa BarbaraCounty Planning and Development rules areclear that demolition can occur without trig-gering the developer’s overall project clock.In other words, Caruso is free to commencedemolition, but it would cost him. Fourth,County Supervisor Saud Carbajal andMontecito Association president DickNordlund may feel increasing pressure to askthe developer to rethink demolition timing. Taken together, or even in a combination

of just two or three, these factors could alterthe Miramar story.

1.Caruso Affiliated Is LosingCredibility: Ever since CarusoAffiliated bought the property, its

official line has stayed pretty much the same(“we finally have our plans approved and weare seeking financing, which we expectsoon”). Meanwhile, Montecito has waitedpatiently and respectfully for construction,sedated by “the process” of local and Countyapprovals, and accepting the company’s

explanation that recession is to blame. When it won county approval in March to

downsize the project to save constructioncosts and facilitate a deal, word was thatfinancing would be “soon”; it was “close”. Today Caruso is much less sanguine. As

“soon” passes into its fourth month, thecompany is singing a different tune. Morerecent statements include “patience is avirtue” and “the market for new hotel con-struction remains nearly non-existent both inCalifornia and nationwide.”

2.There Is a Rising Voice forDemolition Now: At www.mon-tecitomessenger.com, we ask the

following question: Do you favor the imme-diate demolition of the Miramar Hotel, leav-ing the land cleared until construction com-mences?PollThough the poll is not scientific, the three

to one tally in favor of demolition mirrorssentiment heard in conversations aroundtown. The core idea behind the paper askingthe question is: must the dangerous buildingsremain standing? Or, could they be demol-ished now, in an act of civic responsibility byCaruso Affiliated, ridding the neighborhoodof longstanding blight, which would beunimaginable anywhere else in Montecito? There have been some suggestions that

authorities could condemn the property and

force demolition. That step will probably nothappen, however, because Caruso Affiliatedhas largely secured the area, eliminated fireignition sources, and conducted other main-tenance that keeps the site within buildingcode requirements.Montecito Association supports demolitionIn 2009 and 2010, the 900-plus member

Montecito Association informed theMontecito Planning Commission and theCounty Board of Supervisors that it favoredimmediate demolition so that the neighbor-hood could have some measure of dignity

and safety until the start of construction.But, the developer was unmoved by theAssociation’s recommendation and was ableto obtain the necessary permits without hav-ing to commit to early demolition

3.Demolition Can Proceed At AnyTime: How would demolition hap-pen? The answer is simple. Caruso

Affiliated would take the initiative and applyto the Santa Barbara County Planning &Development Department for a permit todemolish the remains of the Miramar Hotel.Issuance of a demolition permit would nottrigger the clock on the overall project, assome have stated.The demolition permit would be granted

subject to compliance with previously estab-lished conditions, including historical pho-tography (already done), asbestos removal,and payment of a $1,395,000 fee requiredbecause the old Miramar was viewed as pro-viding low cost accommodations. The fundswill go to enhance campgrounds and otherareas where the public will be able to spendfar less than what the new Miramar’s night-ly rates are expected to command. There is nothing to stop the well-funded

company from clearing the land if it so choos-es. Yes, it will have to spend money, but thatshould be offset by other factors ranging fromtax advantages to good will. Demolition nowwill also convince the community of the com-

MIRAMARFROM PAGE 10 Worst Case

ScenarioThere will be nothing to laugh at

if Caruso fails to finance theMiramar project and arrives at 2015empty handed.Then what? Will conditions are

so bad that Miramar buildingsbegin to collapse. Will the buildinginspectors step in then?Unthinkable in Montecito, but notimpossible.

pany’s own faith in its project. Theimportant thing to understand is thatthere are no bureaucratic limitationsholding the company back. To help out,however, maybe the County couldwaive the $1,395,000 mitigation feeuntil construction actually begins.

4.Two Key Leaders AreEngaging the Issue: In termsof raising a voice that would

get the attention of Caruso Affiliated,Salud Carbajal sits where the buckstops. The First District Supervisor isintimately familiar with all sides. If hebecame an outspoken advocate for dem-olition now, Caruso would have to payattention.

“He has the responsibility for thisneighborhood,” says neighborDall’Armi of Carbajal. “He’s the keyperson in seeing to it that after 10 yearswe get rid of the hovel next to us.” Carbajalʼs ViewWhen asked to state his position on

the matter last week, Cabrajal said,“Obviously, yes, I do support demoli-tion now, but cost is a factor and Mr.Caruso has to make that determination.He has to decide if he wants to makethat investment”Carbajal has a record of being

responsive to Montecito’s issues and hemeets regularly with the MontecitoAssociation.The Association has made its posi-

tion clear on multiple occasions andon March 11, 2010 wrote to the County

Board of Supervisors, “We continue tobelieve that removal of debris andbuildings is in the best interests ofcommunity health and safety.”The Association, under Nordlund, is

said to be working to get the demoli-tion issue resolved soon.Whether one agrees with Carbajal

and the Association, or thinks theyhave no business pressuring Caruso,the fact that two important local leadersare talking about it gives the Miramarissue new life at the right time. Demolition is in play.One can only hope that Salud

Carbajal, Dick Nordlund, and RickCaruso, each highly accomplished inhis own arena, get together this sum-mer and do the right thing forMontecito.

Linda Kjaempe Jenks, 46, who wasraised in Santa Barbara. “It was casualelegance.” The current Miramar is a “big eye-

sore,” said Jenks. But the one she grewup with was a beloved establishmentthat sun-soaked swimmers and tannersintegrated into their visits.“People would say ‘Oh it’s the

Miramar! Let’s go get drinks after,” sherecounted. Jenks and others held treasured

memories of eating at the restaurants,riding the raft, spying kissing lovers,having birthday parties in the afford-able rooms, and jumping from the rail-ing onto the sand in a race to the sea. Allison McEwen Peck, whose fami-

ly has owned a beach house near thehotel for 43 years, said that the entirebeach has slowed since the Miramarfell into decay.“It was busy in a healthy, festive,

kind of way,” she recalled. “It’s ashame that the property can’t be used toeveryone’s advantage like it wasbefore.

Those interviewed unanimously saidthey would prefer if the hotel wasrestored to its previous glory but keptsimple. Something “affluent but downto earth,” as Jenks put it, to match thelocal vibe. Peck and Jenks both speci-fied “not another Bacara.” Peck said her entire family is wait-

ing for the property to be developedand fervently hoping it will be “theright fit.”“Hopefully it’s something affordable

so families can enjoy this beautifulcove,” she said.

mother had given the class as a gift,knowing in her heart that cookingwould be for her son what painting hadbeen for her. Tom, a lawyer, and a recent widow-

er whom “sadness clung to like a sig-nature,” promised his wife Charlie thatupon her death, he would continue tocook. Charlie found food and cookingto be her poetry and expressed we’reall just ingredients and what matters isthe grace with which we cook the meal.She exemplified this philosophy in herdying and convinced Tom that foodshould be seen as a gift. When food is consumed, it becomes

part of someone. Charlie also expressed that time was

one of the most essential ingredients inlife, and although she herself was run-ning out of time, it was something

never to be taken for granted.Lillian also talks a lot about time

throughout the novel with the addition-al characters and their stories – the timeit takes to grow a bursting red tomatoor the years it takes to grow a fig tree;the time it takes to prepare a meal andthe time it takes to eat. Time is one ofour best resources to squander – andcooking is a sensual experience thatcan slow down time and at the sametime, illuminate many of life’s prob-lems and even provide simple solu-tions. Bauermeister’s novel allows her

characters to see the group as a refugeand a coming together with surprisingand curative results. Bauermeister’s love of cooking and

the opportunity it allows us to slowdown and focus on our senses stemmedfrom the two years she and her familyspent in Northern Italy. Returning tothe US, she missed the community

spent around food and eating andnoticed that those people who celebrat-ed simple things in life appeared to bethe happiest. Her desire to help feedpeople’s souls through her cooking andher prose is certainly accomplishedwith The School of EssentialIngredients. I guarantee you will fall in love with

Bauermeister’s genuine and authenticcharacters. Their desire to find mean-ing and the way the author uses food tobring them together makes for an utter-ly delicious read. After turning the lastfew pages of this beautifully and sen-sually written novel, I admit it hascaused me to pause and to take time toreexamine the possibilities and magicthat food can bring to our busy lives.Bon appétit!

Our County also employs a wide range ofpublic safety professionals who serve inunique and critical roles in order to keep ourcommunity safe. These positions are notfound in the private sector and involve ahigh degree of skill, training, and risk. Oursheriff deputies, firefighters and probationofficers put their lives on the line daily andmake sacrifices to protect us all. For thisreason it is important that they receiveincome, health and retirement benefits thatare commensurate with the values our socie-ty places on the services they provide.Furthermore, it is imperative that we retainour highly qualified public safety force toboth save money in the long-run (by prevent-ing additional hiring, training and turnover)and also to maintain the consistency, qualityand efficiency of service the public expects. County pensionsRegarding pensions, County employees

receive a defined benefit pension whichinvolves the employee and employer payinginto a retirement fund during their employ-ment. That money is invested and uponretirement the retiree begins receiving pay-ments from that fund, based upon a formulawhich accounts for the number of yearsworked for the County and their salary. Thisformula allows for stability and a predictableretirement income. Currently the averageCounty pension for general employees is$1,900 a month ($22,800 a year) and forpublic safety employees is $4,520 a month($54,240 a year). Historically these systemshave sustained themselves over the yearshowever recent national and global eventshave challenged these funds just as they havewith private investments, now necessitatingchanges to ensure continued sustainability. To better balance the employee pension

program with the County’s long-term finan-cial stability, the Board of Supervisorsappointed a special commission earlier thisyear to investigate potential alternatives toour current retirement system. The commis-

sion’s report included several possibilities,including a “two-tier” benefit structure withlower benefit formula for new employees;increasing the amount that current employeespay into the retirement system; and eliminat-ing the ability for “pension spiking.” I amhappy to report that the County has alreadyimplemented a number of these measuresand we are continuing to work with ouremployee groups to make additional modifi-cations to our retirement system. I am confi-dent that the result of these efforts will ulti-mately provide a balance of protecting thefiscal health of our County, ongoing stabilityof our employees and satisfactory services.ReformIn addition to on-going pension reform

efforts, the County and our employees alsocontinue to achieve cost savings through wageconcessions. In better economic times, mostof our employee groups negotiated incremen-tal wage increases. In addressing the chang-ing economy over the past few years, thesegroups have all stepped up and made conces-sions or deferrals which have saved and willsave the County roughly $30 million duringthe past two, current and next fiscal years.These include recent agreements with ourFirefighters, Engineers and Technicians,Sheriffs Managers and Deputy Sheriffs for anew series of concessions and deferrals, andwe are also currently in negotiations with allof our other employee groups. Like everyoneelse, public employees need to make sacri-fices, and in our County they are doing so.It is irresponsible to not take leadership

and make the necessary changes in thesechallenging times, but it is equally irrespon-sible to scapegoat and oversimplify the reali-ties of a situation at hand. Everyone, includ-ing our public employees are part of our pathback towards economic prosperity and it isonly through valuing each other while mak-ing the necessary changes that we can trulytake a step forward. I remain confident thatby working together we can get there.

Center also has a wonderful wellness programwith nutrition counseling, programs and class-es in art, yoga, qi gong, tai chi and exercise.Lindsay Groark shared a story with me of a

gentleman that was given a tough prognosisof 6-9 months to live. “He came to us as avery scientific, analytical person. After hissurgery to remove a brain tumor, he begantaking art classes through our wellness pro-grams. He has transformed and evolved into anew person. He has tapped into the creativeaspects of his brain and now enjoys painting.He has discovered new ways to channel awealth of creative expression and emotions.It has been four years now since his initial,short term prognosis.”

Katie O’Reilly Rogers did not anticipatethis dramatic turn in her life. No one everdoes. But when something earth shatteringhits us, it is comforting to know that there areso many people and organizations in our com-munity that thrive on caring and compassion.We all have the power and ability to pay itforward by reaching out to someone in need.Whether it be providing a home-cooked meal,an ear or a shoulder. Those on the giving endreceive just as much as the recipient. Join mein sending Katie loving, healing energy.The Cancer Center of Santa Barbara can
