living room. This grand entrance provides a welcoming preview of the living space below and the compelling ocean view beyond. I can see right away that there is nothing cookie-cutter about this house, from the plentiful multipaned windows to the rich, natural bamboo floors. The kitchen’s beautiful granite countertops and large island beg to be shared and enjoyed as a central gathering place in the heart of this home. The expansive ocean view entices me outside, and I realize one reason for the extra-special quality of this particular vista: Unlike most of Summerland, the view from the cottages is completely unobstructed. No power lines interrupt the panorama of the sparkling channel and the islands beyond. With large decks both upstairs and down, the view from this home will always remind its residents to slow down and relax. I might have gazed out at the ocean all day, but another special feature caught my attention. The entire side of the house is a magical garden with more than 40 rose bushes, a flowering trellis, and natural rock pathways. The space is manicured and yet still a bit wild; it feels as if it will reveal its

in Summerland, I saw two riders on horseback silhouetted against the sky, riding along the ridge above the house. Apparently horses are not an unusual sight for this neighborhood, but it’s not something I see every day in downtown Santa Barbara. So I immediately had the feeling that I was someplace special. The entire neighborhood has a bit of a country feel. There’s a quiet hillside park below the house with picnic tables and a view of the ocean. Around the corner is the Greenwell Preserve with miles of hiking trails and open space. The closest commercial building is a little business at the end of the lane with antiques, garden art, jewelry, and a private retreat house aptly named The Sacred Space. It’s no wonder that this entire area feels charmed. The house itself is part of a 20-residence enclave built in 2001 called The Cottages at Summerland, located at the south end of town, apart from the bustle of the main street but close enough to enjoy the shops and restaurants in just a short walk. Walking through the front door, I found myself on a landing several steps above the

strategies trategies for
by Dennis Allen seats and handheld showers, and aesthetically integrated entry ramps are now available. It is possible to have both good design and practicality. What seems to work best is to plan ahead and take steps to prepare for these life changes before being faced with an emergency. Some of the most effective features to incorporate are: (1) creating a no-step entry, (2) arranging to live on a single-floor level, (3) widening doorways to accommodate walkers and wheelchairs, (4) installing rocker electrical switches and accessible outlets (18 inches off the floor), and (5) changing to lever-style door handles and faucets to facilitate reduced strength and flexibility in hands and fingers. Physical improvements to one’s home are essential but of equal if not greater importance to maintain or even improve one’s quality of life and avoid isolation. Next week we will delve into social connectivity, getting around, learning opportunities for the elderly, respect and dignity, volunteering, creating stimulating environments, and engaging with nature.
Dennis Allen is chair of Allen Construction, an employee-owned company committed to building and operating sustainably. He also serves as chair of the Dean’s Council at the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management at UCSB and as a boardmember of the Community Environmental Council.

McGlinchey said. “It’s happened in the past. People decide to get insurance, then it starts to rain, then they’re upset that the insurer won’t pay.” (By the way, the county guide stresses that homeowners insurance doesn’t necessarily cover flooding. It’s best to check now.) Another smart tip from McGlinchey: “Take pictures of your valuables, put them on a thumb drive, and also send them to somebody so you can say later, ‘This is what it looked like before the damage.’” McGlinchey remembers playing as a kid in Santa Barbara floodwaters of the past. “We never thought twice about it. Thank god nothing bad happened.” Her point is that crazy things can happen, and not just water suddenly roaring through when debris dams break. One year, some police officers developed rashes. It turns out the culprit was poison oak that had come churning down and collected in floodwater that the officers waded through. “Whatever’s in the hills comes down,” she said. Another McGlinchey tip: “Make sure your chimneys are clean.” Some people don’t use their fireplaces much since Santa Barbara is so temperate. But if the power goes, they might find themselves huddling around the wrong kind of heat. They might “build a fire, pour a glass of wine, make themselves cozy,” and then have a creosote chimney blaze on their hands, which happened recently in Goleta. And speaking of power outages, here’s one last thought: Either buy a generator or be on good terms with a friend who has one, plus a nice, dry guest room. n

you’ve been way off the grid for a long time, you’ve heard about a big, cantankerous baby that’s filling its lungs and getting ready to howl our way. El Niño has been all over the news — that angry orange equatorial stripe due south of us. In case that didn’t sink in, the City of Santa Barbara recently held a “Sandbag Saturday,” offering 20 free bags per bagger. And it was the hot topic in a recent meeting of the county’s Disaster Council. Just having something called a Disaster Council makes it clear that our leaders take things like this seriously. What the owners of real estate can do is get their houses in order. Common-sense things are first, like making sure your storm drains are clear, your gutters are unclogged, and your roof is watertight, said Yolanda McGlinchey, emergency services manager for the City of Santa Barbara. If you’re in a flood zone (maps are available online), place sandbags strategically. The county’s Homeowners Guide for Flood Prevention and Response covers a wide range of such issues, and it’s available online, too. (And though it’s not real estate related, do have three to five days of water and nonperishable food on hand, plus flashlights and a sturdy pair of shoes next to your bed, said McGlinchey ominously.) Some smart things the guides advise: Cut back on irrigation so that the ground has farther to go before it gets saturated. Add mulch to gardens to boost absorbency. Get a sump pump and rain barrels. Stop filling your pool now. And get flood insurance pronto. “It takes 30 days to become active,” nless

ost adults older than age 65, more than 80 percent according to AARP (American Association of Retired Persons), want to remain in their current home as long as possible. As we advance into old age, the risk of injury, especially from falling, increases dramatically. Taking steps to prevent falls is crucial for “aging in place,” which is the ability to live in one’s own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably. Some of the measures that help make for safer navigation are ramps for accessible entry and exit, increased lighting, non-skid flooring (no loose throw rugs), solid railings, bathroom grab bars, wider doorways, and no thresholds. Many of these modifications to a home are simple and cost effective. Some, however, are expensive, such as transforming a shower into a roll-in/walkin unit or adding an elevator or stair lift. In addition to an increased risk of falling and a decrease in mobility as we age, we also face deterioration in all of our senses, plus in our cognitive capacity. Progressive hearing impairment, failing vision, especially when light is dim, and memory decline are prevalent with advancing years. Technology can enable aging in place in face of many of these aging challenges. In-home monitoring systems can inform remote family members or caregivers about an older person’s daily activities, such as timely taking of medications, regular eating, and the status of other health vital signs. There has been steady improvement in hearing technology and in mental-exercise programs to keep some of the aging limitations at bay. A number of seniors refrain from these suggested home modifications because they think the products involved have an industrial appearance. This need not be the case; designer grab bars, beautiful shower

the largest packing companies in this area. When Edgar died in 1949, a nephew, Garrett Van Horne, took over the ranch. In 1967, the family sold the southern half of the ranch to developers but retained ownership of Stow House. The county then bought the land upon which the house sat, and the family in turn donated the house to the county. Today, Stow House and its surrounding buildings are operated as a museum complex and serve as the headquarters for the Goleta Valley Historical Society.

Many of his innovations became standard practice in the citrus industry. Edgar also served in the State Assembly and the State Senate; he was a key figure in establishing the state’s community college system and in opposing sales tax on essentials, such as food. During World War I, he served as food administrator for Santa Barbara County and later served as an officer of the Johnston Fruit Company, one of

task of developing a farm, while his father supplied the labor, the equipment, and an endless stream of advice and directives. W. W. Stow also supplied the redwood lumber, which was floated ashore for the ranch house. The area was already known as La Patera (The Duck Pond), and this became the name of the ranch. Sherman began to lay out the orchards, planting some 9,700 almond and 3,000 walnut trees. In 1875, he planted 3,000 lemon trees, one of the first commercial plantings of citrus in California. The latter produced profitably until the late 1930s. Sherman also developed the ranch’s irrigation system, funneling water down from the mountain streams and springs into a pond (now Lake Los Carneros) where it was stored until needed during the dry season. Success in business came with personal tragedy. Sherman P. Stow died from a stroke in 1907. His eldest son, Sherman H., took up management of La Patera, but he was felled by appendicitis in 1915 when he was only 39. The reins of management now fell into the hands of Edgar, a brother of Sherman H. Edgar who proved to be a most innova-

he house at 304 North Los Carneros Road, built by Sherman P. Stow in 1872-73, was the home of one of the Goleta Valley’s most prominent families. The paterfamilias of this family was William Whitney Stow. A native of New York, Stow practiced law in that state until coming to California in 1852. He farmed in Santa Cruz County, got involved in politics, served two terms in the State Assembly, and became speaker of that body. In 1856 he opened a law office in San Francisco and eventually became chief counsel for the Southern Pacific Railroad. He also served eight years as San Francisco’s park commissioner and was instrumental in developing Golden Gate Park. Stow Lake is named in his honor. W. W. Stow decided to buy a ranch for his son, Sherman, and turned for advice to W. W. Hollister, whom he had met while serving in the Assembly. Hollister owned the Glen Annie Ranch in the Goleta Valley and urged Stow to seek property there. In 1872, Stow purchased 1,043 acres from Rosa Senter, the remarried widow of Daniel Hill, for $28,600. Sherman then turned to the
