Three-day chalk event coincideswith Old Mission’s anniversary

BY LYZ HOFFMANDAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENT

Delphine Louie massages the face ofthe Virgin Mary, making sure her skin isthe right tone and her hair is the correctcolor. Louie looks back and forthbetween her artwork the piece of art sheis referencing, anxious to make it lookjust so.“It symbolizes the Madonna looking

over her community,” Louie said of herMission-sponsored, steps-adjacent paint-ing, her chalk-stained hands gesturing tothe bottom of her square, to the otherartists in the distance, to the lawn and therose garden.The images adorning the asphalt out-

side of the Mission are not mirages. Theycan actually be “chalked” up to thisweekend’s 25th annual I MadonnariFestival, a chance for artists – “madon-naris” and their aficionados alike to sharein the event’s colorful sidewalk cre-ations.The festival runs from 10 a.m. to 6

p.m. Saturday through Monday. Tens ofthousands of people from all around theworld are expected to attend the weekendfestival.

Louie and her partner-in-painting,Jane Durand, are among the hundreds ofartists expected to participate in thisyear’s festival, which happens to coin-cide with the 225th anniversary of theMission.Some squares away from Louie and

Durand, Tom Meaney, this year’s fea-tured artist, is hard at work painting hisown Madonna, but with a twist: Meaneyis incorporating paintings of his ownchildren into the image.A self-described “architect by day,”

Meaney is a 25-year veteran of the festi-val.“The fun part for me is just doing it,”

he said. “People get to share in the [artis-tic] process and [artists] get to share withother artists. It’s fun to be in this posi-tion.”

Joy Lynn, a professional painter inher fourth year at the festival, agreed.“It’s more about the experience and

interacting with people,” she said.“There’s definitely an energy to thisplace.”Painting a Nepali mother and her child

– based on a real photo she herself tookand her interpretation of the Madonnaconcept – Lynn said that there is some-thing distinctly unique about street art.“You can’t get too attached to it,” she

said.Louie and Durand agreed.“That’s the charm of it,” Durand said.

“It’s part of the performance.”The impermanence, Louie said, “is the

whole reason we do it.”“In life,” she said, “this is how it is.

Tom Meaney (above), who has shown off his work in every I Maddonari festival, works on this yearʼs drawing Friday at the steps of the OldMission in Santa Barbara. Tents and tables for vendors were also being set up as artists got an early start on their chalk paintings.

Dear S&B:What are the pric-

ing secrets to buyingand selling bonds?

– Lily, SantaBarbara

In comparison tostocks, the bond mar-ket is largely ineffi-cient and there aretremendous opportu-nities for investors tobe taken advantageof. While there is anelectronic system to trade bonds, a lot oftransactions are done over the phone vianegotiations. Let’s investigate the recenttrades that took place for one bond andsee how 5 percent was made in 19 min-utes (made by the broker that is).See the Exhibit: Bond Transaction

Detail to review all the trades that tookplace on May 10 for this CA GeneralObligation bond – two sales to cus-tomers, five purchases from customersand three transactions between dealers.The two transactions that are most inter-esting are the ones that took place at12:50 p.m. and 1:09 p.m., just 19 min-utes apart. A broker purchased a bondfrom a customer and turned around andsold it to another customer … with atotal mark up of 5 percent.Undoubtedly, neither party knew thecommissions being built into the trans-action, a customer usually only sees thesmall “ticket charge” (probably thinkingthey got a good deal when in reality, notso much).This has been the reality of the retail

bond market for years, endless storiesabout how people think they are onlypaying small transaction fees but to findout through a little research it was reallyhundreds or thousands of dollars worthof mark-ups they never saw.Understanding how the bond market

works is the first step to getting yourselfbetter deals on your transactions. Insimple terms, bonds are bought and soldbetween dealers and investors. The price

an investor pays fora bond includes adealer’s own spread,or profit, on thetransaction and gen-erally is not seen asillustrated above.Narrowing that “spread” as much aspossible is highly important but the trickis know how and where to do it.Let’s go back to the exhibit to see

where this bond “trades.” For this day,where nothing special in the worldoccurred, the average purchase from acustomer was $96.92. The average saleto a customer was $100.43 for a pricingdifference of 3.6 percent (representingcommissions). The “inter-dealer” trans-actions averaged $97.66, this is the“wholesale” pricing that the dealerswere charging to one another. So notunlike any other store, each broker cre-ates “inventory,” just like canned goodson a shelf and then a “mark-up” occursso they can make a profit.We are not saying that the brokerage

world should be a non-profit organiza-tion but sometimes this gets out of hand.Here are some ways to getting betterdeals (getting closer to the inter-dealerpricing).

• Seek a fee-based relationship vs.commission. Since a fee is earned, thereis no incentive to mark the bonds up,thus you often get a number very closeto “inter-dealer” pricing.

• Choose a firm that uses multiplebuying services across different dealers.If you are buying bonds from one custo-dian (even a “discount broker”), you aregenerally only seeing their inventoryand their mark-up.• Agency and principal transactions

can give you the best deals…but youwill generally only find these in feebased and institutional relationshipswhere they shop the entire market and“stock your selves” directly without par-ticipating in any spreads.• Ride your broker by cross checking

the transactions before and after.Though this is not a lot of fun. But youcan go to online sources such aswww.investinginbonds.com and you cansee your specific trade and cross checkit against the dealer pricing.Buying and selling bonds is not as

easy as stocks and the costs in doing socan be high if you are not careful. If youare actively trading bonds, you have towatch for the “haircut” that is occurringon both sides of the transaction.

Several South Coast commercial realestate brokers say attending a recenttrade conference has encouraged themto believe they can soon fill the remain-ing empty storefronts in Santa Barbara’smost high-profile commercial district.At the International Council of

Senators against mortgage lawWASHINGTON (Reuters) – Close to 40 senators have signed

a letter they plan to send to regulators on Friday in which theycontend the rule will make it harder for credit-worthy borrowersto get homes.The Dodd-Frank law takes aim at widespread criticism that

lending standards became too lax in the run up to the 2007-2009financial crisis because loans were bundled together and sold assecurities. Critics argue that the originator of the loan or the firmcreating the security had little stake in whether the loan per-formed because it was being sold to investors.In response, the law requires the securitizer to hold onto 5 per-

cent of the loans being securitized so they have a stake in theloan’s performance, or “skin in the game.”Mortgages that meet strict underwriting standards, however,

are exempted from this risk retention requirement. These exempt-ed loans are known as Qualified Residential Mortgages (QRM).In March, regulators released a proposed rule that would

require these exempt home loans to have, among other standards,a 20 percent down payment.In their letter, the senators argue the underwriting standards

regulators have developed go beyond what Congress intendedand will make it harder for many borrowers to get a home loan.The lending industry and consumer advocates have also criti-

cized the rule as being too strict in a rare moment of agreementover how the Dodd-Frank law should be implemented.

$16.5 million in 2007.“Our economic conditions are defi-

nitely stabilizing,” Singer said.Singer noted that this could be a

potential double-edged sword. Sales andbed taxes are more sensitive to ripples inthe economy and future downturns couldhave a larger impact to the city. He saidkeeping the city efficient would be criti-cal to offset any changes in the future butbelieved the city is ready for it.

“We are still a very lean and meanorganization,” Singer said.

The city also chalked up a win on thesocial front two weeks ago when the U.S.Supreme Court refused to hear theappeal of Daniel Guggenheim, owner ofRancho Mobile Home Estates, a rent-controlled mobile home park. Afterincorporating in 2002, the city voted tokeep the same rent control ordinance thatthe county had adopted.

Guggenheim, hoping to repeal thedecades-old ordinance, sued the city andafter an appeals court loss in December,took his case to the Supreme Court. Thejustices’ refusal to hear the case effec-tively upheld a city’s right to protect res-idents from uncontrolled rent increases.Goleta Mayor Margaret Connell

Some of us are “stuff” people. I seemany of my “stuff” friends at the fleamarket, at Alpha’s, at the AssistanceLeague Bargain Box and at theGoodwill. What kind of people are“stuff” people? Why do I buy other peo-ple’s used stuff? What exactly does aflea market mean, aside from the Frenchorigination in the 19th Century, theMarches Aux Puces?Check out the new book, “Stuff:

Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaningof Things” by Psychiatrists Frost andSteletee, the first scientists to study thehold that stuff has on people, even tothe point of pathology. Does my stuffown me, or do I own my stuff?Stuff can become a problem. I have

been appraising stuff in peoples’ homesfor 26 years and almost every year Iencounter a real bona fide hoarder,which is one end of the disease. Butwhat about us “stuff” people who arecompelled to haunt the “thrifts” and the“fleas?” What exactly are we lookingfor?As quoted in May 15’s The New

York Times, Dr. Michael Prokopow,who teaches a course called “Stuff” atthe Ontario College of Art and Designin Toronto says, “for most people whogo on these ritualized scavenger hunts,looking for something that they may notknow exists, it is a kind of pilgrim’sprogress through the detritus of thepast.” He solemnly explains that thoseof us who search for stuff that “fleamarkets proliferate a volume of goodsneeding to be sold and people who arehungry – emotionally and aesthetically– to sort out the meaning of life.”Wow, that’s depressing. But maybe

there’s anothermost delicate, nos-talgic reason forloving the Fleas.The economy, forone. For another,“stuff” people don’twant to dress ordecorate like otherpeople, for exam-ple, those peoplewho buy stuff fromthe big box storesand the banal stripmalls of life. That’s

new junk, not real junk. Those placesare too predictable, too boring. “Stuff”people like to scavenge; we like theunpredictability, we love the carnivalatmosphere, and we love the competi-tion of the hunt. I guess we are, in fact,looking for liveliness, if not exactlylooking for the meaning of life.I hold that “stuff” people don’t really

use, nor need, their stuff. They just likeit around, maybe because it triggers amemory. One of my fellow huntersloves to collect old lunchboxes, bringingher back to childhood. Another collectssilk scarves, her affordable luxury.Another collects old typewriters, hisuseless throwback sculpture. Anothergent collects old vacuum tubes, thoseantique radio bulbs. Why? Becausethere’s meaning in these things. Stuffpeople can say to others – “I’m the typeof guy who collects old electronics,” or,“I’m the type of gal who wears oldcowboy boots.” Our stuff sends otherpeople a message about us. We areunique.And finally, thrift and flea market

shopping is communal. It’s a ritualwhich can’t be done while ordering stuffonline, or buying stuff in line in aCostco or at Wal-Mart. Finding some-thing “almost thrown away” can alsohave an heroic feel – “stuff” people res-cue things.We assert our personal taste in a very

public setting, and we don’t need tech-nology for a few hours. In fact, weopenly pine for the simpler days as webuy those ancient 20-year-old outmod-ed, outdated and anachronistic things. I“saved” a pair of men’s size-12 whitepatent leather platform disco shoes atthe Goodwill. I can’t wear them, but Isaved their life. That’s nostalgia, notmental illness, don’t you think? It’sabout respecting the life of “stuff.”Finally, I love the performance aspect

of the flea market setting. I am perform-ing a ritual hunt towards becomingunique. I am looking for something noone else has, I tell myself (not that noone else wants – that’s too realistic). Iwill be different after I buy this stuff; Iwill be wearing my uniqueness.Call me crazy, but did I tell you about

the yellow vase? An older lady told methat the high point of her life was find-ing her mother’s yellow vase at a fleamarket, one that her mother had toabandon fleeing the Nazis. She knew itwas her mom’s by the unique crack itbore. There’s a message about themeaning of stuff in that story.

Please email me [email protected] or callme at (805) 895-5005 with your “stuff”questions, and check out my new web-site, www.ElizabethAppraisals.com.

Flea markets and the lure of stuff

two spaces are empty on each block ofState Street.Hayes brokers predict activity will

continue to slowly improve into 2012.“Our current State Street listings areseeing activity and offers,” Martz said.“We expect that most of the vacancy onthe 900 block will be absorbed byyear’s end.”Martz said attendance at the confer-

ence has not have to the 50,000 rangeseen in 2006 and 2007. However, morethan 30,000 attendees this year sawmore than 1,000 exhibitors spreadacross 1.4 million square feet of con-vention space.“This year’s conference confirms

that the local activi-ty we saw at theend of 2010 wasnot a fluke,” saidRoth who, alongwith the other retailspecialists atHayes, completed17 retail transac-tions on StateStreet in 2010.Scott said she is

seeing more activi-ty from stores thatsell groceries, fast-

food, cell-phones, drugs and generalmerchandise, which are looking to gaina foothold on the Central Coast. “I hadseveral meetings with retailers whohave identified Santa Barbara, San Luis

Obispo and Ventura Counties as targetareas,” she said. “We will be workingto find them sites for late 2011 andearly 2012 openings.”If the activity at this year’s confer-

ence in Las Vegas can be viewed as abarometer of the broader retail markets,expect to see several new storefrontsopening for business on the South Coastand in the tri-county area in the comingyear, Hayes officials said.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ONSTRANGER TIDES3 Stars – Suspenseful

The entertaining “Pirates of theCaribbean” series is strengthened by itsinterest in the spiritual world. From thecurse of the Aztec gold, to the beatingheart removed and locked away for safekeeping, to the journey into the afterlife,and scores of other spiritual and super-natural allusions to vessels and creaturesin the first three films, this fourth filmof the franchise continues the tradition.Weaving mythology with the occult andChristianity with politics, the adventurecontinues for the charming pirate,Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp).Directing the fourth film in the series

is Rob Marshall (“Nine,” “Chicago”).Though this is his first time directing aPirates film, the writing of Ted Elliotand Terry Rosso continues to bringdepth and insight to both characters andplots. Having written all the films in theseries, the twists and turns of the talesare evolving into an art form.Touching the deeper longings of their

viewers, the writing duo takes us intothe world of myth and religion byfocusing on the quest for the fountain ofyouth. This quest for unending life iscentral to human desire but it also haspolitical implications and individualmotivations. These are seen clearly inthe various characters of the tale.In the case of Angelica (Penelope

Cruz), her only desire is to save thesoul of her evil father, the brutal PirateBlackbeard (Ian McShane).Blackbeard’s power was legendary. Ableto control the rigging of his ship withdiabolical effect, his crew were zombiemasters of the occult.But when Angelica reunites with her

father, she stops him from taking the lifeof a Christian missionary, Philip (SamClaflin). We won’t spoil how hebecomes a central part of the tale, buthis presence creates both a backdrop forthe other motives and intentions as wellas demonstrates the power of love toredeem.A familiar character from past

“Pirates of the Caribbean” films is Capt.Sparrow’s archnemesis, CaptainBarbossa (Geoffrey Rush). But in thischapter of the ongoing tale, Barbossa isfar more set on vengeance for whatBlackbeard did to him than either hisstruggle with Sparrow or the opportuni-ty for perpetual youth.In addition to the theology and

actions of the Spaniards, perhaps themost intriguing figure in the film is themermaid Syrena (Astrid Berges-Frisbey). Embodying the varied folk-lore concerning these half-women/half-fish creatures, Syrena is an intriguingcharacter. Suggesting that her mermaidtears have power as Chinese mythologysuggests, and that she can lure sailors totheir death with her song only to devour

them as English mythology asserts,Syrena and Philip’s relationship is inten-tionally perplexing on both a mythicaland theological level.Resolutely uncommitted to anything,

Capt. Sparrow is the personification ofthe films. Though in love, he leaves hisbeloved and rejects even the commit-ments of love. This is true of the film’smythical and spiritual leanings as wellas the pirates’ choice of lifestyle, mak-ing this a true Pirate’s tale as sung in theDisney attraction: “A pirate’s life forme.”DISCUSSION FOR THOSE WHOHAVE SEEN THIS FILM:1. When the Spaniards declare that

eternal life is not found through a foun-tain, what do you understand them tomean?2. At the end of the film, when

Syrena takes Philip with her into thedeep, what do you believe happens? Insome mythical stories of mermaids,there is an underwater kingdom inwhich sailors kissed by a mermaid canlive without drowning. Do you believethis is the point of the scene or is itsomething else? Why do you answer asyou do?3. The decision made by Blackbeard

is assumed by Capt. Sparrow when heoffered Angelica and Blackbeard thechalices. It demonstrated an evil thatwould take life from even his owndaughter. Have you ever met such evil?How did you survive or escape it?

We’re not really here forever.”While all 25,000 expected attendees are at the festival,

though, they can expect a wide range of good times, saidMarilyn Zellet, the festival’s coordinator.From the wide variety of Italian food to this year’s

brand new use of a professional sound mixer, and, ofcourse, the chalk art, the festival is “a true family event,”Zellet said.And that means the paintings – and their creators –

have to adhere to certain rules, Zellet said.The paintings, which are sponsored by a variety of

organizations and businesses throughout the community,can’t advertise or offend.“It’s more about the art [than about making a state-

ment],” Zellet said.

But the festival does stand for something: arts educa-tion. The nonprofit event supports the County’s Children’s

Creative Project, which provides artistic workshops andperformances to over 50,000 kids across over 100schools. Just one section away from Lynn, a group of artists is

hard at work for that cause, making sure their preliminarysketches are just so. Painted in the 1930s as part of President Franklin D.

Roosevelt’s Federal Art Project – which created over5,000 jobs and yielded over 225,000 pieces of art – themurals that the group is recreating are part industry, partagriculture.“It’s not often that you get to see a work of art being

created,” said Jay Schwartz, a 19-year veteran of the fes-tival, of I Madonnari. “I’m excited about it. I love it. It’shome. It’s what I look forward to all year.”

praised the city’s attorneys and previous councils for standing up toGuggenheim.“This is a decision that has impact not just in Goleta, but across the

whole country,” Connell said.Some problems remain.The city has a number of projects dependent on Redevelopment

Agency funds, which are under threat from the state legislature. Thisputs several affordable housing plans and a $24 million flood controlproject on the San Jose Creek in jeopardy.Without the San Jose Creek improvements, much of Old Town

Goleta remains on a flood plain. This prevents other projects to revital-ize the area from moving forward, a key priority in the city’s generalplan.“There couldn’t be a worse time for this action,” Connell said.
