It’s a new day at Harding Elementary School.A restructured curriculum and new teaching methods have paid

off for Harding Elementary School in the form of an Earth-shat-tering 57-point jumped in the school’s Academic PerformanceIndex this year.

That’s almost 10-times the target goal of six points and vindi-cation for Harding Principal Sally Kingston. The school hasn’tenjoyed the best reputation among district elementary schools.

But Kingston said she knew that perception never matchedreality. When she first found out the scores, she said she spent theentire day crying.

“It’s a public affirmation of what I see every day,” Kingstonsaid.

The parents, teachers, and students of Harding donned t-shirtsreading “I’m going to college” and gathered out in the Fridayafternoon sun for speeches, songs, and dances to celebrate theirachievement.

District Superintendent David Cash congratulated the students,saying they’d learned the rewards hard work can bring.

“This is not the end of your journey,” Cash told the students.“This is just the beginning of many, many celebrations that you’llhave as students here at Harding.”

Kingston gives some credit to the International Baccalaureate,or IB, program curriculum, which emphasizes global studies, crit-ical thinking skills, and high standards.

“It’s everything you want for 21st century education,”Kingston said.

But she said close work with parents, community members,and UCSB has gone a long way towards imprinting a higher edu-

cation bound attitude in the students. Day trips to the universityshow students where good education can lead them in life andmake them feel more at home in a higher learning setting.

“School is more meaningful and relevant if you think it’s goingto add up to something in the future,” Kingston said.

Fourth grade Diego Miranda, one of the 14 students who had aperfect score on the STAR test, seems to support Kingston’sbeliefs as he spoke to the students about his goals. He wants toopen his own restaurant one day. He also wants to get into UCSB.

“I believe that going to college will make me the strongest per-son possible,” Miranda said.

The parents are noticing the effects on their children as well.Harding parent Brian Robinson said he’d been amazed at hisdaughter’s enthusiasm for education. He can remember her com-ing home one day and telling him the reasons she wanted to go toIreland.

Robinson said it’s a pretty stark contrast to his attitude towardsschool when he was her age.

“She’s excited about learning now,” Robinson said. “I wenthome and watched ‘The Brady Bunch.’”

Kingston and Cash both acknowledge their work isn’t doneyet. Harding’s score is now 744, still below Cash’s ultimate targetof 900 for all schools. But Kingston believes Harding can getthere.

She felt previous low-scoring years were because she didn’ttake the test seriously enough. This year students learned how toapply some of their critical thinking skills to the test. While shestill has doubts about teaching to a test, the results speak for them-selves.

“If that’s what it’s going to take to get all the kids to performbetter, I’ll do it,” Kingston said.

Harding test scores jump 57 pointsStudents from the drama class perform the monkey song during a school assembly at Harding Elementary.

When you do what I do, you runinto a lot of stuff, and often must sellor donate. I have parted with things Inow regret – but some favoriteantiques are still living at VillaElizabeth. Some pieces have increasedgreatly in value, much to my surprise(because I buy mainly from thriftstores), and some piecesincrease in the pleasure theygive me. So here areElizabeth’s top 10 keepers:

1. The complete score ofBeethoven’s Fidelio, pub-lished Ludwig vanBeethovens Werke in Leipzig,Germany, by Breitkopf andHartel in 1864. Beethovencompleted Fidelio from 1804(first version) to 1814 (thirdversion). My copy was print-ed 59 years after the first performancein Vienna. My great uncle worked inthe publishing world in Leipzig andmust have snagged an unused copy.

2. An English Regency painted teacaddy box (1800-20) of scenes offamous watering holes of the time, fit-ting three painted tole (tin) boxes ofthe same painted theme inside. It’sbeauty speaks to me of the importanceof my favorite beverage, tea, upon itsdiscovery in Europe in the 18th C.This is truly a magnificent receptacle,so different from the average Liptontea box today. It’s worth around$2500. I bought it for $250 at an auc-tion in Pittsburg, when the oil/miningmoney was drying up.

3.A Chagall lithograph which theMaster hand-colored, as it was usedfor a poster to advertise his galleryopening in 1956. I bought it from thewife of the Ambassador from Hollandwho attended that opening in 1956. I

paid too much, but love it, as I can pic-ture the opening, with fellow artists.

4. A turquoise blue ceramic flowerbowl from 1910’s – 20’s which fea-tures a nude “Lady of the Lake”caressing a swan, potted in Coloradoby the Van Briggle Company. My

grandmother collected thiswhen she and my grandfathertook baby dad on a nation-wide tour in their Model T.

5. A classic 1950’s Chanelblack dress with a sheerblouse top and wide full tea-length skirt. A mouse chewedthrough the skirt and the netat some point, but I had itrestored. It is the height ofchic. I found it at a thriftstore in Dallas for $5, and if

the mice hadn’t “altered” it it would beworth $1500.

6. Coco Chanel’s greatest rival wasElsa Schiaparelli (1890-1973), theItalian designer, who collaboratedwith the Surrealists Dali andGiacometti. Which makes perfectsense, because the hat I have is herdesign with Dali, for her Winter ’37Collection – a tiny little top hat inblack felt, which premiered withDali’s design for Schiaparelli’s shoehat, yes; a shoe in black felt worn withtoe pointing forward as a brim.Wearing this is ridiculous and surreal.I’m in good company, however; thatsame year, Dali and Schiaparellidesigned a lobster evening gown forWallis Simpson, the Americandivorcee who married the Duke ofWindsor, who would have been theKing of England.

7. I serve myself dinner with an ArtDeco set of “German” silver flatware

from between the two wars when allGermany could produce was a type ofsilver lower in silver content than ster-ling. It has a hard-edged linear designand a distinctive gray cast to the silver.I found a box of it in an estate sale inSan Diego for the price of stainless($35). By the way, why not use yoursilver every day?

8. My formal china never sees thelight of day, but it is an ultra-femininepattern of huge pink roses which wasmade by Wedgwood for the actressCyd Charisse, who early on, took upballet in an effort to recover fromchildhood polio. I knew her personalsecretary, before Ms. Charisse died in2008, and both women decorated inthe most feminine of styles; my styleas well, “Early Brothel.”

9. A yellow Hall pottery teapot fromthe Jewel Tea Company in the 1950’s.I grew up in rural Illinois and theJewel Tea man would bring a hugebasket of stuff door to door, all junk,but packed mesmerizingly. Theautumn leaves pattern was his famoushousewife’s temptation. This stuff isugly and indestructible, but I can stillsee the Jewel Tea man on our stairs.

10. Finally, I light a full pair ofhuge antique church altar (ecclesiasti-cal) candelabra every night at dinner.They weigh about 20 lbs each andwere cast in bronze in 1890 for achurch on the East Coast. I have tofind those extra-huge candles forthese, yet I love oversized things(strange, as Villa Elizabeth is a one-room studio).

CA bill funds college for illegals

Jobs growth stalls, fuels fears(Reuters) – U.S. employment growth ground to a halt in August,

reviving recession fears and piling pressure on both PresidentBarack Obama and the Federal Reserve to provide more stimulus toaid the frail economy.

For the first time in nearly a year the economy failed to createnew jobs on a net basis according to the Labor Department’s month-ly nonfarm payrolls survey on Friday. Economists had expectednonfarm employment to rise 75,000 last month but they cautionedagainst viewing the data as a surefire sign of recession.

A worsening debt crisis in Europe and an acrimonious politicalfight over the U.S. government budget and debt, which led Standard& Poor’s to strip the country of its AAA credit rating, ignited a mas-sive stock market sell-off last month and sent business and con-sumer confidence tumbling.

“The economy is struggling against stiff headwinds, whichappear to have intensified in recent months,” said Millan Mulraine,senior macro strategist at TD Securities in New York. “While it hasclearly not fallen off the cliff, there is little to suggest it is anywhereclose to regaining its momentum.”

Investors fled riskier assets on the news, sending stocks tum-bling, pushing up the price of gold, and lowering U.S. Treasurybond yields.

(Reuters) –A California bill dubbed the state’s “Dream Act” thatwould allow illegal immigrants to receive public funds for collegeeducation was approved this week by the state Senate.

The legislation would still need to pass the Assembly and besigned by Governor Jerry Brown, a Democrat, to become law.

Proponents acknowledge that illegal immigrants who attend col-lege are still not able to find legal employment after graduation, butthey say the bill could eventually help spur the federal governmentto grant those students citizenship.

“The Senate made history today by voting to pass ... the final por-tion of the California Dream Act,” Assembly member Gil Cedillo, aDemocrat from Los Angeles and the author of the bill, said in astatement.

Cedillo said that, if the bill is approved, it would “increase theearning potential of these students, which helps all of us by con-tributing to our tax base.”

Brown in July fulfilled a campaign promise by signing into lawa related bill to allow illegal immigrants to receive privately fundedcollege scholarships, but not public funds.

The latest bill would go into effect in 2013 and could cost theCalifornia budget about $40 million a year, but not all of that wouldgo to immigrants because some legal residents from other statescould qualify for the funds as well, according to an analysis pre-pared for a state Senate committee.

Montecito fights for Hot SpringsBY ELISE CLEMENTS

DAILY SOUND STAFF WRITERFor as long as most can remember, residents have unblinkingly

strolled passed ‘no trespassing’ signs trekking to signature destina-tions in Hot Springs Canyon like Montecito Peak and the hotsprings.

The trails around the canyon are so taken for granted, few real-ize that it is actually privately owned and zoned for development.

Until now, hikers may not have realized that there are threats andpotential disruptions to the McMenemy and Cold Springs trails.

But unless The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County raisesanother $1.9 million by December 15 that could happen.

Residents met Wednesday night to talk about the plan to saveHot Springs Canyon.

Dear S&B: What should I look for whenresearching the financials of a company?Ross – Santa Barbara

Since the economic meltdown, there ismore discussion than ever regarding corpo-rate and government financials. If you are likemost, the jargon can be overwhelming.Even for the astute, reviewing and under-standing financial statements can be a chal-lenge unless you work in that profession(i.e. accountant, banker, investment man-ager, etc.). Here are some tips in reviewingfinancials whether for investment, businesspurposes, cocktail party discussions ormaybe a student taking a finance course.

The three main components of a finan-cial statement are the Balance Sheet,Income and Cash flow statements. Onceyou get a handle on what you are lookingfor, then you can apply “ratios” to help putsome context to the figures.

You should always start your analysis withthe balance sheet. It is simply a snapshot viewof the assets and liabilities of the company ata particular point in time. I like to take a com-parative look of the company over the pastnumber of years. You can easily find this datafor any publicly traded company on the finan-cial section of mainstream search & newswebsites.

Start your review at the top of the balancesheet where the most liquid assets are located.Are the assets increasing or shrinking? Payparticular attention to “goodwill,” this is a fig-ure which can be grossly overstated (thelower it is the better).

Let’s assume assets are increasing, is thatdue to the assumption of more debt in thelower section, liabilities? Or is it due to moresales? In today’s environment, you are moreapt to see debt reducing. Then you want to geta handle on the types of debt they are incur-ring, it is short or long term? Once you arecomfortable with this area, go back up to theasset section to see how they are positioned topay the current debts owed (do they have cashon hand for the accounts payable vs. having to

sell a “truck” for example to cover payroll)?Turing to the income statement, this is

where you will see revenues, expenses andnet income over a period of time. Think aboutthis for yourself…you earn money, then youpay expenses and hopefully you have some-thing left over (unless you are the government

of course). One confusing element here is thatyou can have “noncash” items such as depre-ciation expenses. To fix that issue, many focuson EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,depreciation and amortization) to get a realnet income number that cancels out differingtax and capital structure issues. The name ofthe game is NET INCOME…the higher thebetter.

The next place to turn is the cash flowstatement. This is where you can see howmanagement is handling the money…cashin, cash out, investments, liability reduction,liability increase, dividend payments, etc.How are they generating cashflow…operations, investing or financing?The more cash flow from operations thebetter. The more cash flow generated fromdebt, generally the worse. And for somecompanies, they may be self liquidating byselling property, plants and equipment. Asituation which may look good on theincome statement but not a good reflectionon the true health of the company.

So now you have a good handle on thegeneral operations of the company, so what

do you do next? Turn to “ratios” so that youcan compare this business to others.Financial ratios are a powerful tool whichwill allow you to compare any size businessto another. BUT be careful to only compare“like” businesses if you want to get an accu-rate read on the situation. For example, you

should not compare a manufacturer to ahigh technology firm (the ratios will andshould be vastly different).

If you are lending money, liquidityand solvency ratios should be the focus.If you are internal management you maywant to focus on asset utilization andinventory turnover. Everyone should beinterested in the profitability ratios andfor investors; the focus is generally onthe market metrics (price to earningsratio, price to sales, market to book, etc.).

One ratio on to itself is a meaninglessmeasure. You have to take a look at anumber of them to get a good grasp on

how the company is operating. And it is bestto compare the ratios to its peer or peergroup. This will give you the best insight tohow the company is doing overall, theunderlying strength of the business andmanagement skill.

There are dozens if not thousands ofways to interpret the data. But make it sim-ple. Is the company getting stronger orweaker? Are they taking on more debt andif so, is it profitable? Are they generatingearnings from operations or by simply liqui-dating assets or making onetime adjust-ments to create the money? In regards totheir peer group, do their financial ratios ondebt, profitability and price to earnings ratiolook better or worse than peers?

Like anything new, it takes time to getaccustomed to the jargon and the data.Spend a little effort to gain familiarity withthe basics and you will be light years aheadof most.

If you have questions you wantaddressed, please submit them [email protected].

When I walked my son to school on hisfirst day of junior high I had a rather unex-pected revelation: I had just been fired.

Sure, I was still his mom and I wouldnever be completely pink-slipped from thatrole. But I had definitely been laid off fromthe unpaid part-time job I’d been doing forthe past seven years at his elementaryschool.

In junior high it’s not just thekids that don’t want you around.The teachers don’t really want youthere either – at least not the waythey did in elementary school.

It’s not that I don’t have plentyof other things to do with my time– some of which even yield anactual paycheck – but that steadylist of volunteer tasks, whichincluded everything from attendingschool board meetings, driving onfield trips and planning assembliesto cleaning paint brushes, runningreading groups and popping popcorn, hasnow dwindled to zero.

All of those clichés you read about chil-dren growing up in the blink of an eye aretrue. It seems like one minute I was register-ing him for kindergarten and the next I wasbuying him gym shorts for junior high.

Like most jobs that have ended in my life,I miss my colleagues even more than thework itself. Those simple, insubstantialmorning and afternoon exchanges with otherparents and teachers of “How was yourweekend?” “Is Johnny playing soccer thisseason?” or “Can you believe what happenedon ‘Gray’s Anatomy’ last night?” formed ahappy framework for my day.

Every day.Now I just get up, grumble hellos to my

family if they’re still around, and get readyand go to work.

So far the strangest thing about my sonbeing in junior high is that he walks to andfrom school by himself.

While I don’t like driving him to schoolevery day, I miss my daily check-ins with

my peeps. It’s not like I ever found a bestfriend at the PTA meetings, but we did a lotof bonding at bake sales and budget meet-ings and it’s weird to not have those peoplein my life on a regular basis.

Like I said, I miss my peeps. It’s not that I’ll never see any of these

people again, but as we cut the umbilicalcord on our day-to-day involve-ment in our children’s lives it takesa bit more effort to stay tethered tothe other adults in their community.

Tracy Jackson, who wrote agreat book about aging called“Between a Rock and a Hot Place,”put it very well. “When our chil-dren march off to college and intotheir future as adults, our dailycaretaking, mothering and child-rearing duties are suddenly over.We have essentially been firedfrom the job we have been in train-ing for, recruited to, and served in

active duty for much of our lives. We arepink-slipped. No golden parachute to softenthe blow. Many of us are truly devastated.”

My son isn’t even out the door yet andI’m feeling that loss.

At the same time I’m reveling in his newindependence (who knew a 12-year-oldcould actually operate an alarm clock andmake his own lunch) and the additional timeI’ve got now that I’m out of the carpool lanefor a couple of years. I actually read theentire LA Times before work yesterday.

Of course, I’m not completely off theclock. My son came home with a list ofschool supplies we needed to go buy “rightnow” and my lunch cart duty at the juniorhigh started this week, so maybe I’m notquite fired … yet. Maybe I’m just down-sized.

And maybe, just maybe, that’s not such abad thing after all.

ure gifts,” said Michael Feeney, executive direc-tor of the Land Trust. He said that if the funds areraised, the Trust intends to give the land to theU.S Forest Service. The 462 acre parcel is sur-rounded on three sides by Los Padres NationalForest.

The trust is also working with the MontecitoTrails Foundation to come up with an agreementto have them help with maintenance.

John Venable, Montecito Trails Foundationboard member, said that the foundation “is readyto stand behind the Land Trust.”

He expressed the vital importance of the areaas a connection point for many surrounding trails.

“This gem, if we keep it and preserve it, willbe the hub of Montecito trails,” Venable said.“This is a resource that we cannot afford to lose.”

The canyon is the property of the seven chil-dren of Lowrey B. McCaslin who purchased it in1962. After a hotel and spa burned two yearslater, the land was left abandoned.

It is currently listed for sale by KerryMormann and Associates for $11 million, but thesiblings negotiated a deal with the Land Trust forthe reduced price of $8.6 million.

The seven approached Feeney in 2008 beforeputting it on the market.

“They said ‘we’re not really into development,we’d rather preserve it if the Land Trust can makethat happen,”’ Feeney said. Though the siblingsare still willing to work with the trust, Feeneysaid failure to meet the reduced price could leadto the property being offered to developers.

If in the hands of a developer, the property is

zoned to accommodate six residential lots. A pri-vate day spa resort covering up to 20 acres of theproperty is also a potential. Southern CaliforniaEdison roads already lead to most of the sites.

The fate of the trails would have to then bedetermined by the property owners. A “prescrip-tive rights claim,” could possibly then be made,because of the trails’ long history of public use.

Attendees were also concerned with the waterat the hot springs. Currently Montecito CreekWater Co. owns the rights to 50 percent of thespring’s water, Feeney said, but the trust is work-ing to keep water on the property.

A pipe system collects the water which is usedfor irrigation in 38 residences downstream,Feeney said.

Another concern was voiced by GwatBhattadarjie, who has lived on Riven Rock Road,near the entrance to trails on Mountain Drive.Traffic and parking increased drastically since theJesusita Fire closed other trails in that area, andhas not let up since those trails reopened, shesaid.

But even though she has been annoyed withthe extra cars on her street, and even had a pair offlip-flops on her doorstep switched with a hiker’ssneakers, Bhattadarjie still supports the effort topreserve the trails.

“If we only need 20 percent, and we raised$80 million for the Granada – this is land! This isfor prosperity!” she said.

The land trust will be holding small, privatecoffee sessions to aid fundraising as the deadlineapproaches.

Feeney said now is the time to buy. “Becauseof the economy,” he said, “this is the cheapest thisproperty will be.”

PUBLIC NOTICECity of Santa Barbara

NOTICE IS HEREBYGIVEN that the City Council of the Cityof Santa Barbara will conduct a Public Hearing on Tuesday,September 13, 2011, during the afternoon session of themeetingwhich begins at 2:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber, City Hall,735Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara. The hearing is to considerthe adoption of a resolution increasing business sector recyclingcollection service rates charged by the City. Increases wouldbe effective on utility bills dated October 1, 2011, or later. Acopy of this notice and the proposed rate schedule are availablefor viewing at http://www.sbrecycles.org and on the City HallBulletin Board located on the 1st floor of the City Hall buildingat 735 Anacapa Street.

Each year, the City Council establishes fees for the routinecollection of trash and recyclable materials (mixed recyclables,green waste, and food scraps) in the City. Prior to Novemberof 2009, fees charged for recycling services were 50 percentof the fees for equivalent trash services. In November of 2009,the fee for recycling services was lowered to approximately15 percent of the fee for equivalent trash services to furtherencourage businesses to recycle.

Since November of 2009, both the number of customers andthe levels of trash and recycling services to which they subscribehave fallen with the worsening economy. However, the fixedcosts to collect trash and recycling have remained constant.With fewer customers subscribing to service, the existing feesno longer cover the City’s costs to provide these services.Revenues from the sale of recyclable materials alsoplummeted over the same time period. In addition to theserevenue losses, State law required the Solid Waste Fund tospend approximately $1,000,000 to construct and maintaina landfill gas collection system at the closed dumpsite beneathElings Park.

For these reasons, the City Council directed staff toincrease fees for business sector recycling services in orderto balance the City’s Solid Waste Fund for Fiscal Year 2012.In addition, the rate increases are designed to reduce the pricedifferential between recycling containers and equivalent trashcontainers. As a result, effective October 1, 2011, fees onbusiness sector recycling containers would increase by 108percent. This does not necessarily mean that a business’ totalbill would increase by this same percentage since only feesfor recycling services would rise while fees for trashservices would remain unchanged. The overall impact to abusiness would depend upon the number of recycling containerscurrently utilized relative to trash containers. Those that subscribeto a greater proportion of recycling services would experiencea higher rate increase than those that subscribe to fewer recyclingservices.

With the proposed fee increase, the cost for recycling serviceswould still only be approximately 30 percent of equivalent trashservices. Therefore, businesses can still control theirdisposal costs by recycling.

If you oppose any of the increases explained above, pleasedeliver your protest in writing, including your name and serviceaddress, to the City Clerk of the City of Santa Barbara at 735Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA, 93101, prior to the CityCouncil’s consideration of this issue on September 13, 2011.If you wish to submit your protest during the public hearing,please deliver it to City Staff in the Council Chamber.

On Thursday, September 8, 2011, an Agenda with all itemsto be heard on Tuesday, September 13, 2011, will be availableat 735 Anacapa Street and at the Central Library.

Prices start in the high $300,000s for below-mar-ket-rate townhomes and the mid $600,000s for luxury market-rate townhomes.

Each home within the Santa Barbara East Beach Collection will be all electric, thereby reducing monthly homeowner utility costs.As part of the companyʼs internal mandate to ultimately build only net-zero energy communities, a substantial portion of the powerrequired to operate each home will be generated onsite through solar panels.

“We are pioneering the development and sales of environ-mentally responsible homes,” said Herb Gardner, LEED AP,President of City Venturesʼ Homebuilding Division. “By elimi-nating the need for gas within a home and organically reduc-ing our buyersʼ reliance on electricity, we are returning moneyto their pocketbooks. In order for smart, green homebuildingto make total sense, it must be cost-efficient for both thebuyer and developer. The Santa Barbara East BeachCollection is Californiaʼs best new example of this, creatingthe ultimate win-win-win.”

The Santa Barbara East Beach Collection features 48townhomes within four courtyard-style buildings rendered inclassic Santa Barbara architecture. City Ventures workedclosely with William Hezmalhalch Architects to ensure that allsolar panels are oriented south to maximize sun penetration.All homes will exceed state-mandated Title 24 environmentalefficiency standards by at least 30%.

Its proximity to desirable Santa Barbara destinations further decreases its environmental impact by discouraging multiple car trips.The community is walkable to world-famous State Street shopping, local wineries, first-class hotels, restaurants and job centers, andjust blocks from Santa Barbaraʼs popular East Beach. City Ventures is also exploring the installation of electric-car charging stationsfor each garage, which could further eliminate lifestyle costs for homeowners when driving is necessary.

“The City of Santa Barbara is extremely particular in our design review process," said Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider."We are delighted to partner with City Ventures and its forward-thinking approach to environmentally and fiscally responsible commu-nity-building, while also providing a project that is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and meets a great need in providingaffordable workforce housing.”

City Venturesʼ Santa Barbara East Beach Collection is at 331 North Calle Cesar Chavez, Santa Barbara, California 93103. Formore information or to register for updates on homebuying opportunities, please visit www.CityVentures.com or call (866) 332-4030.
