Generations of children from around the globe have posed in a giant red wooden clog outside Solvang Shoe Store, 1663 Copenhagen Dr. “The store has been in our family since 1965. I think we’re on the fourth generation posing with the shoe now,” said Max Hanberg, who co-owns the shop with Laura Hanberg. The old-school shoe store in the heart of Solvang Village specializes in comfort shoes: Dansko Clogs, Swedish Comfort, Medical clogs, UGG boots, Minnetonka, Clark, Ecco, Mephisto, Arcopédico, Berkemann, Sass and Birkenstock. “We’re all about comfort,” Max Hanberg said. Hanberg began working at his parents’ shop in 1966. He was in sixth grade, and charged with
putting shoes away, sweeping sidewalks and floors. His favorite task was running the incinerator in the back corner where boxes and trash were burned. “It was a great job for a kid,” Hanberg recalled warmly. Hanberg attended Hancock College, worked in the store again for a while, then purchased and ran Lars Larsen’s Texaco station at Fifth and Mission. He ran his own auto shop there until 1985, then worked as a mechanic in the valley shop into the 1990s. In 1996, when his parents wanted to retire, they offered to sell the shop to Hanberg. “Oh, yah. Absolutely. The store has been great to my family, and I was happy to keep it going,” Hanberg said. The following year, Solvang Shoe Store expanded its Please see SHOES, Page A6

Michael Mendizza has become a sort of Brer Rabbit when it comes to olive oils and balsamic vinegars. “Whatever you do, don’t come close to the Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic,” he tells visitors to Solvang Olive Press. Solvang’s newest tasting room, and its first to specialize in Mediterranean olive oils and balsamic vinegars, opened in July at 463 Alisal Road, right next door to Mendizza’s ZFolio Gallery. “Solvang needs as may highclass, upscale, non-wineries as possible. The environment is perfect. The quality of these oils and vinegars is out of this world. Our shop is experiential, and quality is off the chart,” said Mendizza, who co-owns both the gallery and the olive oil tasting room with his wife, Zdena “Z” Jiroutova. They had been using the products for years, purchased from a shop near their sister gallery in Monterey. “We had experienced the quality and remarkable flavors and diversity of products that this supplier offers, and we thought it would be a great thing for Solvang,” Mendizza said. They waited a year and a half for the perfect location. When Del Sol moved out from the space next door to their gallery, Mendizza and Jiroutova sealed the deal. They renovated the space and transformed it into a modern, brightly lit, clean shop punctuated with stainless steel olive oil canisters and glass vinegar bottles. “It turned out beautifully. I’m thrilled with it. We get compliments every single day,” Mendizza said.

Solvang has long offered a glimpse into traditional Danish foods, costumes and architecture. Today, The Copenhagen House, 1660 Copenhagen Dr., offers visitors a look at modern Danish design and products.
“Even though the building outside is the old-style, traditional Solvang look, the inside shows the modern part of Denmark. I’m Danish, but I’ve lived in Solvang 30 years. I think we needed that, so I’m definitely excited to be a part of it,” said The Copenhagen House Manager ElseMarie Lund
Petersen. Owner/developer Rene Gross Kaerskov transformed the nearly 100-year-old Santa Ynez Valley Bank building into a space that serves as a sort of hall of fame for Danish brands, from Pandora to LEGO. While the exterior retains the traditional Solvang style, the
interior features Danish design in furnishing and flooring inspired by Copenhagen Airport. “The idea is that it would be like the duty-free area with different areas potentially available to different merchants. There are roll-down doors so vendors could have different hours, but we’ve
expanded into the whole space,” Petersen said. The Copenhagen House carries only Danish brands, such as Normann Copenhagen, Holmegaard, Arena Copenhagen, Dark Blond, Rosendahl Copenhagen, Stelton, Please see COPENHAGEN, Page A6

Solvang 3rd Wednesday features access to a dozen wine- and beer-tasting venues, discounts at countless village shops, and a fixed-price three-course meal at either of two restaurants. “It’s a good deal.

To participate, visitors swing into either the Olive House, 1661 Mission Drive, or Wandering Dog Wine Bar, 1539 Mission Drive, to purchase a $20 pass after 3 p.m. on the third Wednesday. Participants receive two wine glasses adorned with a Solvang logo, five pairs of tasting passes, and a walking map of the village. “The glass itself is a nice keepsake, and at five tastings for two people, it’s a really good value and a nice walk through the village,” Prescott said.

Attorney Lana Clark aims to prevent family strife over estates, trusts ‘I have developed creative ways to make sure that people accept what’s put in the documents without having everyone battle over Grandma’s money.’ JENNIFER BEST
Contributing Writer
Lana Clark has dedicated years of her professional life to helping families avoid senseless battles over property, cash or investments when loved ones die. “I like helping people stay out of court and avoid probate, and coming up with creative ways that people can leave their property to the people they want to leave it with, without complications or family disputes,” the Solvang-based attorney said. A resident of Solvang for over 45 years, the certified trust and estate specialist worked as a paralegal for years at law firms in Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley before becoming an attorney in her own right. Her legal experience includes formation and maintenance of corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, business transactions, contracts, civil litigation, real estate, prenuptial agreements and trust and estate litigation. “As a paralegal, I was spending so much time in court doing trials, sewer litigations, things that I didn’t find as enjoyable as working with people,” Clark said. She took a job working as a paralegal at a Santa Barbara firm that specialized in estate planning. “I found that I really liked it. Helping people stay out of court, avoid probate. That was 1995. Now, 22 years later, estate and trust work is almost exclusively what I do,” Clark said. She has also been an integral part of the community since moving to the Santa Ynez Valley in 1971. She raised five children while working and volunteering in the community. Clark said she served on the Solvang Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors for six years, two of those as president. She

She taught legal courses at UCSB for 11 years and law school at Santa Barbara College of Law for a couple more. Clark currently serves on the Santa Ynez Valley Hospital Foundation Board of Directors, and Elverhoj Museum Board of Di-
rectors. “I’m not Danish, but my husband has Danish ancestry and our kids were raised here. We’ve been to every Danish Days celebration since the early 1970s. Now our kids come back home for Danish Days. It’s like turkey at Thanksgiving. Everyone gets together. Participating makes us feel like part of the community,” Clark said.
Clark’s greatest joy, other than her five adult children and 14 grandchildren, is helping clients anticipate and prevent possible family strife over estate and trust matters. She utilizes a unique estate planning review program in which she analyzes existing documents and provides a summary and report of outdated provisions, areas of potential contention
among beneficiaries and methods to solve the conflicts before they arise. “I have developed creative ways to make sure that people accept what’s put in the documents without having everyone battle over Grandma’s money,” Clark said. Please see CLARK, Page A7

Dr. Sandy Wilson offering personalized health care with more access ‘It went both ways. What I gave, I got back significantly.’ SHELLY CONE
Contributing Writer
As medical care advances to incorporate cutting edge technology that meets the needs of many more people, some patients may miss the subtleties of more nuanced care. And as doctors update their practices to meet the demands of health insurance companies it can sometimes feel overwhelming for a patient who wants assurance that their needs matter. Enter internal medicine doctor Sandy Wilson. Dr. Wilson recently returned to the Santa Ynez Valley to re-open her practice with what she calls a personalized health care model rather than a production model meant to care for a significant number of patients. The change means that she sees a smaller number of patients, but they get a lot more access to her. “A retainer practice moves things away from a productivity model because you’re not married to sheer numbers,” Wilson said. Patients pay an annual retainer to become a patient of Wilson’s. In exchange, they get open access to her, can call or text her on her cell, and can even use her self-scheduling app to make their own appointment. Wilson said she is the only female doctor in the Santa Ynez Valley to use this type of care model. The model she uses means that she may only take on 200 to 300 patients. Many doctors see an average of 2,000 patients. Having fewer patients allows Wilson to get to know patients more thoroughly — an intimacy is a benefit to preventative medicine. That’s especially true because 90 percent of diseases that CONTRIBUTED PHOTO kill people are lifestyle related, not Dr. Sandra Wilson in her Solvang office.

Tasting bottles available throughout the store offer guests ample opportunity to experience oils and vinegars individually, or to create personal blends. Bits of bread are offered to cleanse the palate between tastes, and to sop out the last of the oil or vinegar from tasting cups to prepare the cup for reuse.

It was a boon to business. “When the big boys on the internet started growing rapidly, our sales declined, so we’re not a big presence out there anymore, but we do still have some internet sales,” Hanberg said. Throughout the ebb and flow of business cycles, Solvang Shoe Store has continued to cater to the desires of tourists and locals alike. “Vans surf shoes are very popular again. We were beta testers of those in the ‘60s. They’ve been around forever,” Hanberg said.

For an additional $26.75 per person, participants receive a three-course dinner at either of two Solvang restaurants: Mad & Vin at The Landsby, 1576 Mission Dr.; and Succulent Cafe Wine Charcuterie, 1557 Mission Dr. “Since we also have Solvang Farmers Market, our chef picks up fresh produce from the market for the salad. We also include a flatiron steak and seasonal fruit crumble. That has become the most popular event,” Prescott said.

I hear it a lot in my industry. I’m fortunate to have my customers, locals and tourists alike.

monthly event. Funds raised from the event help support Solvang Chamber promotions, purchase of the keepsake wine glasses and additional features such as live musical performances offered during selected Solvang 3rd Wednesdays. “It’s a great way for visitors to experience Solvang, but locals look for it for the dinner deal. They pay the restaurant. They get a meal that would normally cost twice as much, and I don’t mind that for the locals. They’re here all year; they deal with visitors and traffic; and it’s a nice deal for them,” Prescott said. Tickets for 3rd Wednesday Wine & Beer Walk may also be purchased in advance online at solvang-wine-walk.eventbrite. com. Pick up tasting glasses and maps at Wandering Dog or Olive House.
“Most people are so habituated to dipping that they just grab a chunk and dip it. But no matter what type of bread you dunk, no matter how good that bread is, that bread will change the character of what you’re tasting,” Mendizza said. Solvang Olive Press features more than six varieties of extra virgin olive oil, fused and infused flavored oils, and traditional, all-natural balsamic vinegars From Modena, Italy. They have no pesticides, antibiotics or GMOs, Mendizza added.
In addition to basic, pure olive oil, flavors include: wild fern leaf, dill basil, herbs de Provence, Persian lime, wild mushroom and sage, cilantro and roasted onion, blood orange and more. The collection of dark balsamic vinegar flavors include: Neapolitan herb, blackberry, black cherry, black currant, Champagne, dark chocolage espresso and Vermont maple. And, of course, Mendizza’s favorite: the Sicilian Lemon. But whatever you do, don’t taste that one.

A lot of people love finding out LEGO is a Danish company, and that the Pandora charm bracelet they’ve been wearing for five years is Danish. A lot of people don’t realize these are Danish companies,” Petersen said. The location also features the Great Hall of Danes with displays

They are definitely known as a highend amber store. We were lucky enough to get House of Amber into The Copenhagen House. They also have a museum in their store, and it worked out perfectly for us to use the old vault for our own museum,”
Petersen said. There are hand-made Danish clogs, Danish toys from LEGO to Hoptimist, furnishings, dish ware, lighting, jewelry, watches, gifts and more. And The Copenhagen House is the first Bering Time concept store in the United States. “Danes on vacation come in and get really excited to see all the designs here, and they are very proud that we have it here,” Petersen said.

genetic, Wilson said. Often when patients see a doctor for something like a sore throat, they may also want to address health goals like weight loss or lowering cholesterol, but don’t because they don’t have the time. With Wilson they can get access as often, and as conveniently as they’d like. “So it neutralizes the whole factory medical experience,” she said. Though she just opened her practice in May, Wilson had a practice in the Santa Ynez Valley from 1998 to 2008. That’s when she left the area to become a hospitalist at a VA hospital. As a hos-
pitalist, she specialized solely in seeing patients who were being treated at the hospital. Because those patients are often sicker, a hospitalist has a specific skill set, she said. During her time as a hospitalist Wilson also worked as an associate professor at a medical school and as supervisor for a group of hospitalists. She was also the associate program director of that residency program. Working at a VA clinic and teaching the next generation of hospitalists were both profound for Wilson in many ways. She said she felt like she was making a contribution when she provided care for the veterans she saw because of the special needs many of them were experiencing.
it’s an attorney. A family member may, in fact, be the worst choice. The key is being very careful who you designate. Above all else, it has to be someone you trust because you’re putting them in charge of your money, your estate,” she said.
With proper planning, benefactors can make sure their plan is fair to everyone. “They might not all like it, but at least it’s thought out, as fair as can be, and keeps people from battling after the fact. With proper planning, you can
make sure your desires are implemented in the easiest way possible,” Clark said. Clark can be reached at her office, 1607 Mission Drive in Solvang, by phone at 688-3939 or learn more about the firm by visiting www.lanaclarklaw.com.
For the resident doctors, she said she feels like she was able to bring the personal care perspective to them in their diagnostic process, keeping them mindful of always thinking about what the patient is telling them. They learned her perspective, but the experience as a teacher was also important to Wilson. “It went both ways. What I gave, I got back significantly,” she said. In 2014 she decided to move back near her Santa Barbara family and worked at the VA clinic in Santa Barbara prior to opening her current practice in the Santa Ynez Valley where she works with associate Dr. Lisa Clement. As part of her practice she will visit her patients at both hospitals
in the Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Barbara. She said many doctors won’t see their hospitalized patients until they are discharged, but she believes it’s beneficial to her patients that she see them. “When you know someone from outside of the hospital, you can tell if they are getting better or if they seem like themselves,” she said. The hospital isn’t the only place she’ll visit patients as part of her personalized care model. Wilson said she’s open to the occasional house call. She said she understands that sometimes it’s hard for a patient in need to manage a doctor visit, like a recent visit she made to a senior patient with back pain. The patient was immobilized, Wilson recalled, and so she did what few doctors in this de-
cade do, she made an old-fashioned house call. Wilson’s experience has gained her recognition in her industry. She is a fellow with the American College of Physicians, and the Society of Hospital Medicine. Becoming a fellow with these organization is much like applying for a job, as it requires career milestones, references, and an application approval process. They are achievements in which Wilson takes pride. She’s also held the chief of staff positon at Santa Ynez Valley Medical Center, and has been board certified in internal medicine for 20 years. Prospective patients can call Wilson on her cell at 245-9010, or at her office number, 686-5533.
