Monte ito Miscellany

by Richard MineardsRichard covered the Royal Family for Britains Daily Mirror and Daily Mail before moving to New York to write for Rupert Murdochs newly launched Star magazine in 1978; Richard later wrote for New York magazines Intelligencer. He continues to make regular appearances on CBS, ABC, and CNN, and moved to Montecito seven years ago.

Santa Barbara Polo Club has just made history!Morgan Ru, 16, daughter of the clubs former president, Wes Ru, has become the first American female to play polo in Iran, the birthplace of the sport in the sixth century.

The dynamic duo attended the 83rd Federation of International Polo Ambassadors Cup in Tehran, which included six mens teams and two womens teams representing 10 coun-tries around the globe, with side trips to Esfahan, site of the worlds oldest polo field; the garden city of Shiraz, the countrys fifth-largest metropolis; and the ruins of Persepolis, destroyed by Alexander the Great in 330 BC.

It was also the site of a lavish cel-ebration in 1971, thrown by the Shah of Iran, to mark 2,500 years of the nations monarchy, with world lead-

ers jetting in from around the globe, including Queen Elizabeths daugh-ter, Princess Anne.

The hospitality and friendliness of the people was overwhelming, says Richard Caleel, Carpinteria-based president of FIP, who attended the tournament hosted by Hamzeh Ilkhanizadeh, president of the Iranian Polo Federation, and his son, Siamack with his wife, Annette.

We were also permitted to tour an army base. Its interesting to note the government has mandated that every army base will now have a polo club with appropriate facilities of fields and horses. This will facilitate a rapid growth of the sport in Iran.

As for Wes, who played with Prince William when he visited the club three

MISCELLANY (Continued from page 19)took it in stride. It was a spectacular venue with Iranian musicians who played between chukkers and each time someone scored a goal.

It was a big deal in a country where women must be covered up from head to toe and, of course, factoring in the political issues between our countries at present... I believe that people around the world are all the

same and are open to people from all walks of life and beliefs. Their effusive welcome brought tears into our eyes. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime trips and we will treasure the memo-ries and the friendships forever.

Close CallMontecito actor Rob Lowes vaca-

tion home in Grasse, France, was

almost washed away by a massive storm last week.

The 50-year-old thespian, his wife Sheryl, and son John, 19, had to be evacuated by rescuers after a huge storm the biggest of the year poured down three months of rainfall in less than four hours, creating freak floods.

Once the waters rose to a dangerous level, submerging the first floor of their holiday residence in the town near Cannes, considered to be the worlds perfume capital, they were evacuated by rescuers.

Rob posted a photo to Instagram of Sheryl, 53, hugging a fireman in front of a truck, saying: My wife being res-cued this a.m. in the horrific flooding in Grasse. Glad we are safe. Grateful to first responders.

Meanwhile the Parks and Recreation stars son posted a video to Instagram of the first floor of their house being flooded by a surge of water, as he documented it from the second story.

The teen captioned the frighten-ing clip: Thats the first floor of our submerged home. Scariest hour or so of my life, also sorry for the explicit language.

Rob also posted another Instagram snap of the roiling muddy waters, with the note: This is right outside the house. Was twice as high at the worst, just before sunrise.

Johns older brother, Matthew, 21, who was not on the trip, tweeted his concern: My thoughts go out to everyone in the south of France.

Rob, who has also been traveling in Barcelona, Spain, and London, U.K., with his family and also some of Johns school friends, is expected back in our rarefied enclave in due course, where rainfall has been non-existent...

Trust Her Intuition Veteran actor Kirk Douglas, who

celebrated his 60th wedding anniver-sary with wife, Anne, at the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills last month, as I exclusively revealed here, also has to thank her for saving his life, he has revealed.

Kirk, 97, says Anne, 84, has an uncanny intuition and refused to let him join Oscar-winning producer Mike Todd on his fateful flight east in 1958.

We stopped speaking over that one until we heard the news the next morning. Elizabeth Taylor became a widow, but not my Anne.

When I had my stroke seventeen years ago, she drove me to the hos-pital like a Formula One racer. And when I wallowed in self-pity because of my impaired speech, she made me get up and work with a speech therapist. To this day, I write her love poems; to this day, she continues to give me tough love.

As to the anniversary bash, hosted by his Oscar-winning son Michael and wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Kirk says he was superstitious about plan-ning a celebration too far in advance of the May 29 diamond anniversary.

After all, I am only three years shy of my personal centennial, and my Spartacus days are well behind me. But Michael and Catherine ware determined to help us celebrate in style, he writes in a personally by-lined article in the Los Angeles Times.

It was a magical night. Anne looked as glamorous as she had the day she walked into my life in Paris, and I was proud to be by her side.

Windy City WinsCarpinteria-based film mogul

George Lucas, 70, has picked Chicago to host his much-anticipated $300 mil-lion museum of art and movie mem-orabilia.

The decision is a major victory for the Windy City, Americas third largest, with San Francisco and Los Angeles also seeking the museum.

Lucas say he hopes to open the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in 2018, which will feature the Star Wars directors collection of paintings, illus-trations, and digital art.

I am humbled to be joining such an extraordinary museum community and be creating the museum in a city that has a long tradition of embracing the arts, he says.

The selection was, to say the least, something of a surprise, given Lucass close ties to California.

He is a native of the state, Lucasfilms visual effects division is based in San Francisco, and the headquarters for Lucasfilm and Skywalker Sound is just across the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County.

But Chicago mayor, Rahm Emanuel, pushed hard for the city.

And it was always a good chance that they would land the museum, in large part because Lucass wife, Mellody Hobson, a prominent busi-nesswoman, is from Chicago and the

city closed down Promontory Point along the Lake Michigan shore so the couple could host a star-stud-ded party to celebrate the twosomes California wedding.

For the Lucas museum, Chicago offered up a slice of real estate along the lakefront that is near other attrac-tions, including the Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum of Natural History.

At the same time, San Francisco suffered a setback when it rejected Lucass first choice of location near the Golden Gate Bridge.

Read All About it Here After a honeymoon in Paris, for-

mer E.R. actor, Noah Wyle, 43, just revealed he secretly married his long-time actress girlfriend, Sara Wells, at his Santa Ynez Valley ranch on ABCs The View last week.

But, of course, it would have come as no surprise whatsoever to readers of this illustrious organ, as the nup-tials were chronicled here two weeks ago.

Meanwhile the exclusives keep coming, with the Journal scoop-ing even People magazine on singer Melissa Etheridges nuptials at the San Ysidro Ranch and former tennis ace Jimmy Connorss two consecutive

Summer GrassesProlific Montecito author David

Krieger, who has written or edited 25 books, has just launched his latest tome Summer Grasses, an anthology of war poetry.

David, who is president of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, has included some of the 20th centurys greatest poets, including Siegfried Sassoon, E.E. Cummings, Dylan Thomas, Wilfred Owen, and William Stafford.

Great war poetry shows the hor-rors of war and its corrosive effects on the human spirit, says David. Such poetry sends a message of peace.

What links the poems in this vol-ume are their insights into the fierce dehumanization of war, he told guests at a book bash at Tecolote, the lively literary lair in the upper village. The combatants seek to maim and kill the other in their struggle to sur-vive and prevail. They come to view the enemy as less than fully human. It becomes clear in these poems that the enemy is not just the soldiers on

the other side. It is war itself.Among the guests were Gerry and

Imaging Spence, Nancy Gifford, Diana Basehart, Jeff Farrell, and Mara Sweeney...

Viva la Fiesta!With the start of our tony towns

90th anniversary of Fiesta looming large, the Santa Barbara Historical Museum has opened Project Fiesta!

The colorful and eclectic show chronicles the history of the popu-lar annual festival over the past nine decades, showing the pageantry, fash-ion, and traditions of the cherished cultural event.

Guests at the opening reception were treated to dance performances by the Spirit of Fiesta, Talia Ortega-Vestal, and Junior Spirit, 10-year-old Natalie Mowers.

It is one of the most complicated exhibitions I have ever dealt with, says Dan. We literally finished it just an hour before we opened the doors!

Attending the show, which runs through September 28, were Roger and Debby Aceves, Bill Burtness, Gil and Susan Rosas, Eleanor Van Cott, Scott and Lisa Burns, John Woodward, and new director, Lynn Brittner...

Trading SpacesOne of Colorados most iconic prop-

erties has emerged on the market for the first time in 30 years.

The mid-century Charles Haertling-designed Menkick House, which was built to relate to a massive rock out-crop that dominates the one-acre West Boulder site, is owned by Montecito couple Stephen and Vicki Cherner.

The sale price for the unusual prop-erty is $3.95 million, and Emily Gadacz of Colorado Landmark Realtors says the two prospective buyers have come from Santa Barbara.

A small world, indeed...

Lots of Lacrosse Lads Visitors to the Santa Barbara Polo

Club the other day might have been forgiven if they thought their sat nav systems were playing up.

Instead of galloping ponies, they encountered the sight of 7,000 lacrosse players, aged between eight and 18, flexing their equipment during a

three-day sports fest.Seventy-eight teams were compet-

ing from Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Arizona, Nevada, and Southern California.

Suzanne Marr, events program director, says the teams play all over the country, but this is the first time the event has been held in our Eden by the Beach.

It has been a great success and you cant beat the locale.

The teams are scheduled to be back in mid-January...

Battling Bond Veteran actor and former

Montecito resident John Cleese has criticized the latest batch of Bond movies for their over-long action sequences and for sacrificing their British flavor to secure big money from Asia.

The 74-year-old Monty Python actor starred in two 007 movies The World Is Not Enough in 1999 and three years later in Die Another Day.

But he has now hinted he was dropped from his role as the successor to gadget inventor Q in the long-run-ning British franchise, partly because film bosses wanted to please audienc-es in Asia.

He suggested that the spy mov-ies, which have enjoyed renewed suc-cess with Daniel Craig in the lead role, have dispensed with their subtle British sense of humor.

I did two James Bond movies, and then I believe they decided that the tone they needed was that of the Bourne action movies, which are very gritty and humorless. he says of the Robert Ludlum thriller spy films, star-ring Matt Damon and Jeremy Renner, which have been a box office and crit-ical success.

Also the big money was com-ing from Asia, from the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, where the audi-ences go to watch the action sequenc-es, and thats why in my opinion the action sequences go on for far too long, and its a fundamental flaw. The audiences in Asia are not going for the subtle British humor or the class jokes.

Cleeses character did not appear in the recent Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace, but was resurrected by Ben Whishaw in Skyfall two years ago.

Barbara beach lifestyle, says Emily, who used to work at Wendy Foster in the upper village and was fea-tured in the MJ glossy edition two years ago. After a recent trip to Africa, my new collection has been inspired and I have used faux zebra skin in a lot of bags.

Business has grown and grown, so I had to make a choice, hence my setting up on my own.

Emilys bags and other leather goods retail for between $150 and $800...

Electrifying Opening Conductor Larry Rachleff, sans

score, pulled off a breathtaking per-formance of Beethovens Symphony No. 5 in C Minor with the Academy Festival Orchestra at the Granada.

Moving his baton at a frenetic pace, Rachleff, who has opened the acad-emys summer festival for the last seven years, was in superb form while bringing out the very best in his young charges.

The concert opened with just the brass section playing Richard Strauss short 1924 work, Vienna Philharmonic Fanfare, before the instantly recogniz-able four-note motif for Beethovens 32-minute 1804 work.

The thoroughly entertaining show wrapped with Prokofievs Symphony No. 5 in B-flat Major which he wrote in

1944 as a symphony of the grandeur of the human spirit, a reference no doubt to the damage being inflicted on the Soviet Union during World War II.

It was a cracker of a night!...
