Convenient
san Roque Condo T
here are plenty of mansions in the Santa Barbara area — stately homes set on multiple acres of rolling hills with pools, tennis courts, rooms aplenty, and outbuildings galore. They’re lovely to look at and admire, and for some folks, they represent a lifelong goal. I’m glad for our economy that we have some residents whose income and lifestyle allow them to live in such estates. I look at all of those zeros on their price tags and remind myself that people who can live anywhere in the world choose to live in our corner of paradise. But not everyone needs or wants a mansion. Whether downsizing as life goes on, just starting out, or perfectly happy with “just enough,” a cozy cottage or cute condominium is plenty for most. So when I saw a notice touting 3639 San Remo Drive, #36, as the lowest-priced open house on one recent weekday afternoon, I decided to go take a peek. Before I even walked through the red front door, I realized the advantages of this condo’s location. First, being upstairs has obvious perks for safety, privacy, and views. This unit is also on a corner, so you’ve got fewer shared walls and even more privacy. There is not another building across from it, so it is enhanced by more open space. Finally, it’s located near both the visitor parking and its own carport, so unloading after a trip to the grocery store is a breeze. Stepping inside, I found myself in a large, bright living room with hardwood floors, white walls, a fireplace, and huge sliding doors looking out to a deck with trees beyond. The deck is big enough for a table and four chairs, providing the perfect spot for outdoor dining, entertaining, and enjoying morning coffee or nighttime stargazing. The living room is open to the adjacent kitchen, with a cozy dining room in between. The kitchen is compact
Address: 3639 San Remo Drive, #36 Status: On the market Price: $539,000 and sports all stainless-steel appliances, plenty of storage behind shiny white cabinets, and a mountain view from the window above the sink. Down a hallway lie two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Both of the bathrooms have been remodeled with a sleek minimalist style, providing state-of-the-art fixtures and a clean palette for the new owner. The brand-new master bath has a big glass-enclosed bathtub with a rainfall showerhead and a double-sink vanity. One of the nicest things about this home is its views. In addition to the kitchen, both of the bedrooms have multiple windows with gorgeous views of the mountains. On this particular day, the sunshine streamed in, and the bright green foliage from the trees and bushes on every side of
the house made the entire home feel like a lush tree house floating above the ground. As open and airy as this home is, all of the windows are double-paned, creating a nice, quiet haven when you want to shut out the rest of the world. The entire complex is owner-occupied, ensuring a pride-of-ownership atmosphere. I’ve never lived in a condominium before, but the affordability, mid-town location, upgrades throughout, and beautiful vistas make this one a very attractive option. I’m sure that the lucky new owner of 3639 San Remo Drive, #36, will feel like they’ve just moved into a mansion. Home sweet home can come in many shapes and sizes, and it’s always sweetest when it’s all yours.
3639 San Remo Drive, #36, is currently for sale in Santa Barbara, listed by Cimme Eordanidis of Village Properties Realtors. Reach Cimme at 722-8480 or cimme@villagesite.com .

United Boys & Girls Clubs’ Go For Gold Gala
O
n Saturday, October 22, the United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County (UBGC) held its annual fall gala in the rotunda at Deckers Brands. The event raised $220,000 for its Outreach Program, which identifies and recruits young people most in need of its programs and overcomes any barriers to their participation. About 250 guests mingled on the patio, many donning Olympic-style medals after purchasing $100 raffle tickets to further support the cause. Guests then entered the rotunda, which had been masterfully transformed into an elegant dining venue. Executive Director Michael Baker welcomed the guests and discussed the importance of investing in children’s education and development. He presented an award to Nancy Weiss, director of food services for the Santa Barbara Unified School District, for the healthy hot meals her organization provides through its federally funded “Mobile Café”
at the Goleta and Westside UBGC facilities each weekday. Virgil Elings was presented with an award for his enormous financial contributions to UBGC and his advocacy work for UBGC over the years. A UBGC alumnus, Shantay Legans, shared a moving personal story of how the organization was crucial to his success. The evening concluded with dancing to the tunes of Big Lucky Band. UBGC has club locations in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria, and Lompoc, as well as on-site programs at four schools. It also operates Camp Whittier, a residential camp just north of Santa Barbara. In 2015, it had 3,191 members and served more than 600 youths each day in its after-school programs. Each day, members participate in Power Hour

homework help and some type of fun physical activity. Also, UBGC partners with other nonprofits for programs in music, art, science, technology, and team sports. A daily rotation of activities is geared toward UBGC’s goals of academic success, good character and citizenship, and a healthy lifestyle. The organization’s statistics are impressive: 96 percent of members expect to graduate from high school on time, and 80 percent expect to go to college. The $40 membership fee, which is waived when needed, is just 3 percent of total revenue. For more information, go to unitedbg.org. unitedbg.org

At Home with Hummingbirds

W
hen I first arrived in California, hummingbirds were new to me. Having grown up in Europe, these New World gems held special fascination for me, and still do. Along the Santa Barbara coast, we’re lucky to have the Anna’s hummingbird (Calypte anna) in residence all year. The species is fairly common and the main visitor to most hummingbird feeders, perches, and sprinklers. Adult males often have bright red or magenta throats (gorgets) and crowns that flash in the sun, while females have more modest coloring with red central throat patches. The juveniles look more like the females. Several other hummingbird species can be seen in the summer or passing through as they migrate. Common Birds of Santa Barbara, written by Edward S. Spaulding in 1928, lists Anna’s as well as the Allen’s, Black-chinned, Calliope, Costa’s, and Rufous hummingbirds. Hummingbirds have long tongues with special grooves running the length of the tongue that allow them to feed efficiently on nectar produced at the bases of flowers. They also feed on small spiders and insects, which you can spot if you watch carefully. Some species also love tree sap, which I recently learned in our orchard. The previous year, a red-breasted sapsucker drilled wells into an apple tree, and then returned to work on the same tree this past winter. These woodpeckers are shy, and although many trees are pitted with their characteristic rows of wells, it is rare to actually see the birds that make them. They nest in higher-elevation forests, but descend the slopes to our area in the cooler months. As I watched the sapsucker drill fresh wells, tree sap overflowed in dribbles down the bark of the tree. Wasps soon flew in to feed on the sweet liquid, followed by a warbler and then a hummingbird. My observations were backed up by the literature, which described hummingbirds that would even follow sapsuckers around. In fact, some hummingbirds depend quite heavily on sap during their long migratory journeys. Tree sap is similar to nectar, being a mixture of sucrose, water, and amino acids. To attract hummingbirds, many people put out feeders. You can make your own solution at home by dissolving one cup of sugar in four cups of water, which, incidentally, does not need to be colored red. To keep feeders clean, boil the solution to delay growth of microorganisms that may harm hummingbirds, and replace the sugar solution frequently. The website of Audubon California at the Kern River Preserve (kern.audubon.org/ hummer_feeding.htm) is a great feeder resource.
A more natural approach is to create a native plant garden. Hummingbirds are important pollinators of many California natives that have red or pink tubular flowers, but they also pollinate flowers of other colors. It’s best to select plants that flower in succession through the seasons. Fuchsia-flowered gooseberry (Ribes speciosum) and other native gooseberries and currants bloom in winter and early spring. Hummingbird sage (Salvia spathacea) blooms in spring. Climbing or honeysuckle penstemon (Keckiella cordifolia), scarlet larkspur (Delphinium cardinale), scarlet bugler penstemon (Penstemon centranthifolius), and sticky monkeyflower (Mimulus aurantiacus) bloom in late spring and early summer. California fuchsia (Epilobium canum) blooms in summer and fall. And if you have a pond or wet area in your garden, you can plant the moisture-loving scarlet monkeyflower (Mimulus cardinalis) along the edge. See sbnatives.com or visit the nursery at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden to find these plants. Hummingbirds take a great deal of care in making their tiny and exquisite cup-shaped nests. They use spiderwebs, lichens, and other specially chosen materials. Some hummingbird lovers hang supplies of purchased nesting materials like cotton fibers in suet cages in their gardens. Hummingbirds also line their nests with soft materials such as the hairs from the fuzzy leaves and fruits of our native Western sycamore (PlatPlat Platanus racemosa). But if you plant a sycamore, make sure you buy the native one, not a London planetree, which looks quite similar. These cultivated hybrids, often sold by nurseries, cross easily with our native sycamores, thus leading to genetic contamination in natural areas. To learn more, refer to The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Western North America by David Allen Sibley, and for even more detail, see the National Audubon Society’s The Sibley Guide to Bird Life & Behavior or National Geographic’s Complete Birds of North America, edited by Jonathan Alderfer.
