of Supervisors meeting that approved the expansion project, this will be done by modifying the basin dam and outlet to a design similar to the Gobernator debris basin. This design allows the basin to continue trapping large rocks and debris while finer grain sands and sediment keep flowing downstream.
The Cold Springs debris basin expansion kicks off a series of debris basin projects that includes expansions to the San Ysidro and Romero debris basins. These will happen over the next two years. There are also plans to make a debris basin at Randall Road, officials said.

Because the environmental impacts of the Cold Springs expansion project were minimal and it could be done without seeking grant funds, it moved ahead before the other debris basin projects. Mr. Fayram added that whereas the Randall Road area is land the county must acquire from private homeowners who lost their homes in the Jan. 9 debris flow, Cold Springs debris basin is on county-owned land.
“The reason why this one came in front of the others is that we own the land and there’s no acquisition

The expansion of the Cold Springs debris basin will allow the basin to retain larger rocks and debris. Shown here is an overhead of the basin in July prior to the start of the project.
cost to doing it,” he said.
The Feb. 25 board letter says debris basin projects will be staggered as much as possible to avoid competition for resources. Construction on the project costs around $700,000 and will be carried out by Raminha Construction.
In an interview with the News-Press, Santa Barbara Bucket Brigade co-founder and executive director Abe Powell said expanding the Cold Springs debris basin is an absolute necessity.
He added that the debris basins are due for improvement because of impacts from wildfires and changing climate patterns affecting the watershed above Montecito. The latter includes rain coming to Santa Barbara less frequently but falling more intensely when rainstorms do arrive, Mr. Powell explained.
“The changes in climate have triggered changes in the local environment and ecosystems that force us to look with fresh eyes upon the system,” he said.
Montecito Fire Protection District Chief Kevin Taylor expressed support for the basin expansion and remarked that his department is “excited about any improvement to the flood control system, because those systems make our community safer.”
Montecito Association executive director Sharon Byrne said construction going forward on the Cold Springs debris basin is “a win.”
The basin isn’t expanding as much as she would hope for in a perfect world, as “there’s no debris basin that can catch the mountain,” but Ms. Byrne sees growth of any kind as a boon for Montecito.
“We’re excited because the more we can defend our community from potential geologic hazards, the safer we’re going to be,” she said.
Ms. Byrne added that considering Montecito experienced a debris flow in 1969, five years after the Coyote Fire, such a risk remains just two years after the Thomas Fire.
“We would not be out of the woods if it followed the same schedule until 2023,” she said.

NOBBE, Erwin Arnold
Erwin Arnold Nobbe, CPO passed peacefully at 92 years old, August 23, 2020, on his 62nd wedding anniversary. His wife of sixty two years, Hermine Nobbe passed on June 9, 2020. Born in Osnabrueck, Germany on April 5, 1928 Erwin was preceded by his mother, Johanna Nobbe, father, Franz Nobbe, brother Hans Nobbe, sister Magda Schoebel, all of Germany. He is survived by his sisters, Ute, Elke and Pueppi all still of Germany. Erwin is survived by his son Ralph W. Nobbe and his wife Sharadi L. Nobbe, four grandchildren, two step grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
His life was one of challenge, adventure and fortitude. The Nobbe family home and business were destroyed by allied bombing during WWII. His dream of medical school was derailed when he was “drafted” into the German army at age 14. He was captured and became an American prisoner of war in Cherbourg, France. While imprisoned, Erwin became proficient in French and English. He was assigned to the medical barracks with the International Red Cross to assist injured and disabled war veterans. He had found his calling. Following the war, he entered the orthotic and prosthetic field. He quickly excelled and obtained his Meisterbrief in orthotics and prosthetics at the University of Freidrichsburg, Germany. During his internship in Bad Tolz, Germany, he met the love of his life, the late, Hermine Nobbe.
Following their engagement, Erwin accepted a challenging position with the International Red Cross to establish an orthotic/prosthetic facility at the University Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. He became conversant in Turkish and continued with those early friendships to this day. Upon completion of his contract with the University, he returned to Bad Tolz and married Hermine Schmuck on August 23, 1958.
Erwin had decided to emigrate to the United States following his WWII imprisonment. Erwin was offered employment at J.E. Hanger and Co. in Washington, DC. He found that more opportunities presented as a business owner, and he acquired Pava Orthopedic Lab in Santa Barbara. That became Nobbe Orthopedics, Inc. which ultimately grew to three locations. For sixty years, Nobbe Orthopedics, Inc. served the local medical community and the tri-counties earning local, state and national recognition.
Erwin and Hermine were founding members of, and remained active in the German American club, both locally and regionally. Erwin loved travel, chess, riddles, languages, family and maintained a vast network of friends worldwide. Erwin and Hermine were re-united on their 62nd wedding anniversary. They will be missed by all who knew them.
CLARK, Marjorie Chock
Marjorie Yuke Ching Chock Clark was born in 1935 to Wilfred and Violet Ching Chock, in Honolulu, HI, the youngest of siblings Evelyn Mun (deceased), Bertha Fong, and Wallace and James Chock. Early morning August 26th, Marge drifted from peaceful sleep in her Kaneohe home to join, in Heaven, devoted husband John—who had passed enjoying K-Bay views on the lanai, less than three months prior—and their beloved son Lee, taken by cancer two years ago. Marge is survived by daughter Lin, son-in-law Wilson, and granddaughter Maia, of Kaneohe, and grandson Liam Miller (Auburn, WA), Lee’s children Matthew, Jennifer, Michelle and Nicholas Clark, of Montana, daughter-in-law Sharon Clark and step-granddaughters Kaylene (partner Chan) and Janelle Jaworski, (Southern CA), 10 nieces and nephews, and four great-grandchildren. Margie was only six when her family witnessed Japanese Zeros bombing Pearl Harbor, some planes flying so low they could see the Rising Sun insignia. Under threat of future attacks, they blacked-out windows ensuring no light escaped and, like her classmates, she learned to quickly don a gas mask, then lugged it to and from school. Living close to a potential bombing target of military personnel, materiel, and long-range batteries— the family and neighbors joined forces to build a bomb shelter. Growing up an admitted tom-boy, Marge played sports with her brothers, and climbed from the garage roof into fruit-laden trees, bringing salt and pepper to gorge themselves on green mangoes. Every summer, the kids would take the steamer from Oahu to Kauai to visit grandmother, ending up in her mango trees, too, deftly dodging geckos to reach more unripe delicacies. When the family moved to Oahu’s windward side, Margie bid aloha to Kaimuki mango trees, and embraced the waters of Kaneohe Bay, spending hours rowing the family skiff, solo, in the channel fronting their Bay-side home, apparently unfazed by curious Hammerheads and Tiger sharks. Following graduation from Roosevelt High, Marge attended then-Graceland College (Lamoni, IA) and the University of California at Santa Barbara, where she met the love of her life while working toward a physical education teaching degree she would never get to complete. Two years after Marge and John married, they wrapped up Lee and Lin in a blanket, burrito style, and headed out on a study break road-trip up the coast with a friend. On a rainy Oregon afternoon, the friend lost control and their car skidded off the oil-slicked road and over a cliff, throwing the kids out, as the car tumbled down the ravine. No one died, but Marge, dragged up to the road by well-meaning passers-by, suffered a crushed spinal cord and total paralysis of both legs. The kids were unharmed, cushioned by the blanket, but Lin—still wrapped in the middle—was left behind until John alerted authorities who rushed back to the scene to find her that night. Always the dedicated mother, Marge’s first words after regaining consciousness in the hospital: “Where’s my baby? I need to nurse my daughter.” Following failed surgeries, agonizing traction, and months of painful recovery, Marge refused to feel sorry for herself. After rehabilitating near ohana, in Hawaii, she returned to CA, where she tackled, head-on, myriad daily challenges like lifting herself in and out of the bed and tub, handling household chores, shopping, sewing clothes without patterns (like the dress she wears, here), jerry-rigging frugal DIY repairs, and raising two kids—who came home from school, hand-in-hand, like she’d taught them, to hear Mama whistling happily or singing beautifully. After they settled down in Summerland, near the beach and Santa Barbara Harbor, Marge supported John’s commercial fishing efforts, helping to build crab pots, and weave and mend huge fish nets. She cooked sumptuous meals for family—even 7-course Chinese dinners for friends—and delectable desserts fans still crave. When the kids were older, she worked outside the home, matching gems and bezels with Jostens rings, and assembling highvoltage performance products for Kilovac. At home, she mastered securities investment and crafted hand-made trout fishing flies. She accomplished all these without high-tech tools and accessibility aids. John, known locally as a talented illustrator and print maker, wasn’t the only artist in the family: Marge drew sensitive black and white sketches, one of a precious baby owl, and painted a small collection she called “Après Gauguin”–her beautifully vibrant versions of Impressionist Paul Gauguin’s Tahitian women, including iconic oils Ta Matete (We Shall Not Go to Market Today), When Will You Marry? and Ia Orana Maria (Hail Mary). The portrait Marge lovingly painted of her daughter, in bright red-and-white aloha wear, now graces their island home, juxtaposed with John’s Mona Lisa-like immortalization of his “Empress” Marge, clad regally in a loden green, traditional brocade cheongsam. Long will family and friends cherish memories not only of Marge’s exotic ChineseHawaiian beauty, sweet disposition and even temper, but her incredible strength and resolve, confined to a wheelchair unable to move her legs for over 62 years. Those who knew her suffering, and the unrelenting back and hip pain she endured without complaint, drew constant inspiration from her example, learning never to take for granted those blessings they did have. Her life, truly, enriched our lives. Asked once by her daughter what she missed most about being ambulatory, she sighed, wistfully: “Being able to feel sand between my toes.” Free of her chair and the pain, Mama now walks the beaches of Heaven with Dad and Lee, finally at peace. Marjorie will be interred next to John, at 2 p.m., Saturday, September 12th, at Nuuanu Memorial Park and Mortuary, 2233 Nuuanu Ave., Honolulu, HI 96817. Her brother, Reverend James Chock will provide the blessing. In lieu of flowers, the family requests consideration of a donation in memory of Marjorie Chock Clark, to the locally owned and operated heath care company that so lovingly ministered her home hospice comfort: Malama Ola Foundation, Inc., P.O. Box 30273, Honolulu, HI 96820; or https:// malamaolacares.com/donation/
KUELBS, J. Michele
November 11, 1944 – August 27, 2020
Jeanne Michele Kuelbs, aged 75, passed away peacefully August 27, 2020 after an extended battle with pancreatic cancer. She was born November 14, 1944 in Wilmington, Delaware to Claude James and Katherine Lucille Norton.
Michele grew up in Orange County, California with her two sisters, Mary Kay and Maureen, attending Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana before heading off to Holy Names University in Oakland, CA, where she received her degree in Art History.
Returning to Southern California, she married Robert J. Eadington, and had two children: David Norton and Erin Michele Eadington. She worked as a teacher, teaching art and art history.
An excellent artist working with both oil paint and pencil, Michele set that aside, despite her great promise. Fiercely independent, she earned her MBA from Cal State Fullerton, and after a divorce, moved to Irvine, CA.
There she began a very successful career in the Aerospace industry, working first for Ford Aeroneutronic, then for Hughes Aircraft Company. Her sharp mind and unshakable work ethic helped her to rise quickly, becoming one of the first female senior managers in the industry. By the time she retired, she was Controller for an entire division of Hughes.
It was through her career that she met John Kuelbs, the love of her life. They married in October 1992, living in Palos Verdes, CA and Great Falls, VA before moving to Ballard, CA in 2008.
Michele loved the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley where she enjoyed breeding, raising, and racing thoroughbred horses. Michele’s career was not just business, but philanthropy as well, giving to many charities including People Helping People. Her generosity of spirit will be remembered by all who knew her.
Michele was an avid reader and loved to travel. She and her husband, John, traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and the world, and in recent years explored every continent except Africa.
The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her honor to People Helping People in Solvang, CA. Given the current pandemic, funeral arrangements and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
Michele is survived by her husband, her two children, two grandchildren, two stepchildren and five step-grandchildren. Dearly loved, she will be fondly remembered for her strength of character and her loyal and generous heart.
LEEMHUIS, Lucille Marguerite McPherson Gruendyke
September 21, 1923 - August 22, 2020
Lucille was born in Glendale, California, to parents who had headed west from Arkansas and Tennessee in the early 1900s. Growing up during the Depression in a strong Christian household, Lucille was taught at an early age to always help those in need. This lesson was reinforced in her teens when she started her daily routine serving hot breakfast to anyone who showed up on her front porch that morning. Throughout her life, she demonstrated her love by being the biggest cheerleader, designated second mom, and beloved neighbor to all those that she came in contact with.
Lucille lived a wonderful and full life constantly surrounded by family and friends. She would meet her first husband and former Hoover High classmate, Arthur Gruendyke, while both started working at the Glendale Unified School District in the 1940s. In1976, five years after moving to their home in Santa Barbara, Art lost his life in a tragic automobile accident. Shortly after her husband’s death, Lucille began to work for the SB School District. She worked there for 12 years developing special, lifelong friendships. Lucille helped to guide and encourage people who applied for positions within the district. One applicant she helped said Lucille was the face of the SBSD. In the early ‘80s, Lucille’s life changed by attending a Hoover High School reunion, where she reconnected with fellow classmate John Leemhuis. They were married in 1983—sharing many happy years together traveling and enjoying friends and family.
She is survived by her children Ken (Jackie), Rod (Oliva), and Holly, as well as eight grandchildren—Greg, Kelly, Elin, Solveig, Erika, Garrett, Tabitha and Harlow– and her six energetic great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her brother, Jay McPherson and his wife Billie. Lucille loved the special relationships that she had with their children – Clark (Karen), Mark (Karen), and Marsha. Children and grandchildren from John Leemhuis were also very important to her: John Jr., Adrienne (Jim), Jessica (Chris), and Kathryn. Our family also wishes to thank the devoted caregivers who loved and helped her these past few years: Wanda Alonzo, Mzia Day, and Fawn Ray Kuba.
No services are planned at this time due to the Covid-19 restrictions.
The family asks that donations be made to the Santa Barbara Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care. 512 E. Gutierrez St., Santa Barbara, CA 93103
