PERSONAL / BUSINESS / COMMERCIAL / WEALTH MANAGEMENT

If you’re looking for a simple definition of Union Bank, that would be it. Since we started out 148 years ago, old-fashioned personal service has gone hand in hand with financial strength and know-how. Today, we’re as conservative and disciplined as ever. We’ve developed a deep expertise across a wide variety of industries, to which we’ve committed ourselves for the long term. We’re a respected financial institution with $92.3 billion in assets and solid investment-grade credit ratings from all the major rating agencies. And we’ll soon be combining our e�orts with Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, creating a more extensive retail network and expanded wealth management services. We won’t change our approach to service, though. Some things you never outgrow.

Small enough to care. Substantial enough to deliver.

Peter Murphy brought peopletogether. On any given day you mightfind him sitting at the restaurant acrossfrom the bird refuge, meeting withfriends and, business associates. Forthe past 35 years Peter honed his inter-personal skills in many areas includinghis ability to set up the upcoming tennisschedule for The Montecito TennisMafia by handicapping doubles tennismatches for 150 guys on any givenweekend, resulting in “split sets” or a“tie break” or a business deal yielding a“Win Win.”Peter had a keen sense of how peo-

ple could connect, and brought individ-uals together with his superior businessacumen, and applied his alchemy to thebusiness of having fun.If a referral was needed for anything

from a mechanic to a doctor, Petercould lead you to one that was tried andtrue. Peter was the ¾ glass full …24/7no nonsense person. Always a kind andencouraging word, Peter brought outthe best in everyone, leading by exam-ple.Many would say that the love of his

life was his wife Judy, true in everysense, but he had many loves in his life,including sons Kevin and John, their

wives, Olga and Suzanne and hisbeloved grandchildren, Margaux,Audry, Connor, Ryland and his brotherBob and wife Holly, his niece andnephew Christopher and JenniferMurphy.Peter also loved and cherished his

friends who were a huge part of Peter’slife. He never expected reciprocationfrom anyone who asked for help or tomentor them. Peter could resolve andrestore comfort not only to his family’slife but his friends as well. His barom-eter of success was the love of his fam-ily and his friends.Unknown to many, Peter waged a

seven year battle with cancer, but nevermissed a tennis line up, a party ormeeting until the end of his life whenhis strength was minimal. Peter passedaway in his beloved “Serenity House”hospice center in the hills of SantaBarbara, a care facility for which heand his wife Judy worked tirelessly,giving of their time and money to seethis facility brought to its fruition forThe Visiting Nurses Association.His beautiful blue Irish eyes will

continue to smile upon all of us. Peterchose to live, love and laugh and treas-ure each day. Peter would have wantedeveryone to remember him at his bestand in doing so he will be ever presentin our lives.*On Thursday afternoon May 3rd,

over 300 people gathered at the homeof Julianna Friedman and Tom Dain tocelebrate the life of Peter DavidMurphy 1941-2012. Introduction,opening and closing prayers by KellyVan DeVer. Tributes were given bybrother Robert Murphy, son KevinMurphy, son John Murphy, friendsSteve Meister and Mark Levine.Special readings: Irish Prayer by

niece Jennifer Murphy and one ofPeter’s favorites “Success,” by RalphWaldo Emerson read by nephewChristopher Murphy.

died on Wednesday from complicationsfollowing surgery, according toWestmont officials.He was 31.He was an assistant professor of

kinesiology. He is married to KirstenMoore, who coaches women’s basket-ball for Westmont. They met in 2005, married in 2008.

They are expecting their first child inJuly.“The Westmont community has been

devastated by the news, and we lift ourthoughts and prayers for Alex, Kirstenand their families,” says PresidentGayle D. Beebe.“Alex was a bright light — he had a

winsome humility. He played a uniqueand distinct role in our kinesiologydepartment and was one reason whythe major is so highly regarded.”Moore graduated from Wheaton

College and was an adjunct instructorat Westmont for both the kinesiologyand biology departments from 2004-06. He taught a wide range of classes,including anatomy, tennis, physiology,biochemistry lab and Fit for Life, afreshman wellness class, according to anews release.He earned a doctorate at the

University of Missouri, before return-ing to Westmont in fall 2010 as a sab-batical replacement in the biology

department, teaching physiology,genetics and cell biology. He began thetenure-track position in fall 2011 in thekinesiology department, teaching phys-iology, biomechanics and a researchcourse. His research specialized inmicrocirculation, focusing on hair-sized arteries and the regulation ofblood flow to tissue, according to aWestmont news release.“His love for knowledge, athletics

and, most of all, his personal faith gavehim an exceptional ability to con-tribute,” said Glenn Town, chair of thekinesiology department. “He was abridge builder, seeking to bring peopleand projects together without pushinghis own agenda. His engaging person-ality made it a delight for faculty andstudents to interact with him daily.Alex loved teaching and being a men-tor. He had a gift for making compli-cated concepts understandable.”

MOST OF US don’t evennotice them anymore. Theyblend like the trees or the

vegetation on the side of the road.For decades the fast-lane off-

ramps, where drivers exit on the left-side of the road, in and out ofMontecito have become part of ourway of life.But like the Hummer, the big box

bookstore, and the land line tele-

phone, the fast-lane exits, at least inSanta Barbara, are about to becomeextinct.Despite the vociferous objections

from some Montecito elite, Caltransplans to eliminate the 101 fast laneexits at Cabrillo Boulevard/HotSprings Road and Sheffield Drive in adebate could threaten the unity of thecommunity.The freeway sees between 85,000-

95,000 vehicles per day, some 15,000-20,000 of which are Santa Barbaracommuters. With that volume onlylikely to increase, adding another lanegoing each direction has received wide-spread support from the community. But with the elimination of the

ramps almost a condition of gettingthe lane, Montecito activists ask theobvious question. If you eliminate thefast-lane exits, how will people get to

the Santa Barbara's beaches? Theanswer they fear: Through Montecito.Resident Amanda Fairrington said

the loss of the lanes could turn thesomewhat idyllic Coast Village Roadinto the new freeway “It’s kind of a quaint little local

Montecito MessengerThe beautiful Andrée Clark Bird

Refuge on the edge of Coast VillageRoad and Cabrillo Boulevard will soonget a makeover if city leaders can agreeon how to pay for it.The 42-acre bird refuge, which also

borders the Santa Barbara Zoo, con-tains a 29-acre lake and is a populardestination point for locals and tourists.It’s a place where people go on walksand sight-see, or feed the plethoraducks and wildlife that inhabit the sce-nic refuge.Despite its good face, the area is sub-

ject to flooding — and potentiallyharmful pests.The mosquitoes that breed in parts of

the lake pose health risks and poorwater quality contributes to algaeblooms that can make the water toxicand give off putrid odors.To deal with this, the city started a

vegetation maintenance program thatincludes clearing out invasive speciesof plants and restoring some nativeplants. The restoration project costs$403,352.The city wants to take $49,452 from

its Measure B funds to help pay forthat.In ordinary times, that amount of

money would not have been an issue.But with the General Fund havingtaken a beating over the last few years,the city council proposed asking theCreeks Advisory Committee to deter-mine if the restoration could be fund-ed through Measure B funds, a twopercent bed tax increase to pay forrepairing creeks and improving waterquality.

But the Creeks Advisory Committeedecided that the project did not meetthe guidelines set up by the council in2003.Council member Cathy Murillo at a

Tuesday council meeting said itseemed tempting to use the funds, butfelt the council should abide by theCreeks Committee’s decision.“I feel like Eve looking at the apple

and I love to take a bite now, but I willrespect the committee’s recommenda-tion,” Murillo said.But council member Dale Francisco

said demands for General Fund rev-enues are too high and Measure Bguidelines are too vague for the councilto dismiss using Measure B money outof hand.“I think we may have to face under

the current fiscal constraints thatthere’s only so much damage that theGeneral Fund can contain,” Franciscosaid.Council member Bendy White also

agreed that it warranted further discus-sion.“Things that we’ve assumed were

bedrock in our system are not there orare not going to be within months,”White said.White proposed the committee send

the issue to the full council without arecommendation either way. Franciscoagreed, noting that would also allowmore input from the City Attorney.While the arguments didn’t sway

Murillo’s vote, she seemed a little moreopen to the idea in the end. She felt thecouncil would need to change the 2003guidelines for using Measure B funds,something that shouldn’t be undertakenlightly.

“It was a big deal then and it wouldbe a big deal to change it,” Murillosaid.

Montecito residentsto vote on parceltax measureEducation leaders and civic activists

are trying to build support for MeasuresX and W, which if approved wouldbring in $17 million to Santa Barbara,Goleta and Montecito schools.The money from the $54 parcel tax

measures on the June 5 ballot wouldsupport music, math, science and tech-nology instruction. The money, offi-cials say, would pay for teachers, notadministrative salaries.“Our schools have been decimated

in recent years,” said First DistrictSupervisor Salud Carbajal, who repre-sents Montecito. “California used to beone of the leaders of the education sys-tem in our state. Sadly, we have fallenbehind.”But Carbajal quickly added that he

believes in the local community’s abil-ity to help its own.“I am proud of the Santa Barbara

community for sticking up for educa-tion,” Carbajal said. “We don’t just talkthe talk. We walk the walk.”Carbajal, who has an 11-year-old

Chicago in the 1950s was still asmall town.My mother’s father, better known as

Papa Nate, was the most colorful andinteresting member of our family.In addition to being born on the

Fourth of July, owning racehorses anddriving a new Cadillac every year, hehad a beautiful tenor voice.Songs such as, Pennies From

Heaven, The Sunny Side of The Street,

If You Were The Only Girl, SwaneeRiver and You Made Me Love You,were regulars in my house.Before he owned furniture stores,

my grandfather in the early part of the20th century was a “song plugger.” Heworked at a piano store in downtownChicago, better known as the “loop,”and sang and sold sheet music for a liv-ing. Irving Berlin came into the storeone day and heard him sing and the restis family history. As I sat in the audience on Saturday,

May 5 for the World Premier of Hello!My Baby, written by Montecito resi-dent Cheri Steinkellner and directed byBrian McDonald, I was transportedback to my youth and the songs thatwere sang in my South Side home.While the music of Tin Pan Alley orig-inated almost 100 years ago,Steinkellner has creatively resurrectedits spirit into a musical that no matterwhat your age you are tapping yourtoes and loving the boy meets girl

work is done there’ll be an improvement,pointing out that the area around Milpas Streetsaw tremendous improvement after the lanefinished. But things won’t be much better inMontecito if something isn’t done about thetraffic flow onto Coast Village Road. “It’s just a zoo in the late afternoons,”

Sproul said.Caltrans project manager Scott Eades said

Caltrans had tried to keep the ramps. Statedesign teams looked at approaches that keptleft hand ramps and even reexamined varioussuggestions that came in. But no idea haspanned out in the long run. “The conclusion continues to be that we

just can’t retain the ramps,” Eades said.While issues surrounding the ramps are

complicated Eades said the most frequentproblem has been safety. Left hand ramps seemore accidents than normal off ramps. TheCabrillo southbound off ramp saw eight colli-sions between 2006-2009, according the draftEIR. And as traffic volume increases over theyears, so does the risk. People traveling in the fast lane don’t

expect them and they also create problems fortrucks and other slow moving vehicles thathave to move through the fast lane after merg-ing onto the freeway.“We’re building what needs to be a high-

speed facility that can handle the vehicles thatare going to be driving over the next 20-50

years in a safe manner,” Eades said. “But wealso recognize that we want to make it fit aswell as we can within the community.” Caltrans started with three approaches to

removing the ramps but after input from thepublic, submitted two more. But that compro-mise has cracked open a possible divide inMontecito over whether the communityshould accept the inevitable and support oneof the Caltrans options, or work to get a better

solution.Those tensions flared at a Montecito

Association meeting Tuesday as the Board ofDirectors found itself on the defensive whenangry Hermosillo Road residents demanded toknow why the Association had sent a letter toCaltrans with wording that some residents feltimplied support of using Hermosillo Road asthe primary exit. The residents demanded the board take a

stance on preventing Hermosillo Road frombecoming the new beach thoroughfare.Resident Martha Siegel said Hermosillo

residents had been shut out of the process andwith a Santa Barbara Planning Commissionmeeting looming, the board needed to make adecision on the case. Siegel said losing the ramps without build-

ing concurrent southbound ramps would sendtourists, airbuses, and other vehicles ill-suitedto the roundabout through Coast Village Road.She said that wouldn’t just affect HermosilloDrive residents, but anyone who wanted to useCoast Village Road, Montecito’s chief com-mercial area.“It really involves this whole community,”

Siegel said.The residents also asked the board to sup-

port alternative “F Modified,” which closes offthe left hand ramps, but builds a new north-bound right hand off ramp at Cabrillo. Theysaid it’s the only alternative that doesn’t dumptraffic onto Coast Village Road. ResidentSybil Rosen said that should make the deci-sion simple for the board.“Why can’t the Montecito Association just

say this?” Rosen said.The board denied any attempt to lock out

the residents. They acknowledged the letterhadn’t been well worded. Second vice presi-dent David Kent said there wasn’t any ques-tion that the board opposed making theHermosillo Road the primary exit.“It’s just an unfortunate failure of commu-

1. You are considered “eligible” forSocial Security at age 62. Do you knowwhen your Full Retirement Age (FRA)begins?

Full retirement age for people bornbetween 1943 and 1954 is 66. This is the ageat which you may begin receiving your full,unreduced Social Security benefit. Early eli-gibility begins at 62. If you apply at this age,your benefit will be reduced. The age atwhich you apply for Social Security benefitshas a tremendous impact on your monthlyincome and the total amount of benefits youstand to receive over your lifetime. This isone of the crucial aspects of Social Securityplanning.

2. How can working effect SocialSecurity benefits?

Baby boomers between the ages of 62-65who plan to work and who apply for earlybenefits, will have $1 in benefits withheldfor every $2 earned over the earnings-testamount which is $14,640 for 2012. There issimply no point in taking reduced benefits if

all or most of them will be withheld becauseof the earnings test. After their 66th birthday,they can earn any amount and no benefitswill be withheld. So a person who plans towork in a high-paying job until full retire-ment age would be advised to wait until age66 or later to claim benefits.*Source: www.socialsecurity.govThe information presented is not intended

nication,” Kent said. Board member Peter vanDuinwyk suggested the Association adopt anonbinding “sense of the board” to tell theSanta Barbara Planning Commission that theAssociation would be opposed to any plan thatleaves Hermosillo Road as the primary beachroute to the beach. After some haggling overprecise language, the measure passed.But the board refused to budge on endors-

ing any alternative, believing they still hadtime to convince Caltrans of another optionother than the ones offered up by the stateagency.

Association vice president Bob Short saidthe draft EIR lacked vital information and theboard wouldn’t take a stance until they’d got-ten it from Caltrans.“When we’re satisfied that we have all the

information, we’ll make a recommendation,not one day before that,” Short said. President Richard Nordlund said

Association officers have spent hundreds ofhours working with Caltrans and feel the dealis far from over on the interchange options. Hesaid endorsing F Modified would be prema-ture. “To think that you’re going to have to

decide in one week on something and every-body’s going to have to jump on it? That’s

crazy,” Nordlund said.Caltrans extended its public comment peri-

od from May 25th to July 9th. The final EIRhas to include responses to concerns expressedby the public during the comment period.First District Supervisor Salud Carbajal,

whose district encompasses the widening proj-ect up to the Ventura County border, said thatthere’s broad support for another lane in thecommunity. But there’s a variety of concernsamong different parts of the community andit’s important for citizens to get in on the pub-lic process.“The goal here is to come up with a win-

win,” Carbajal said.Carbajal had been working with then-super-

visor Naomi Schwartz when public outcrycrushed an attempt to widen the freeway in theearly 90s. He noted similar fears have surfacedagain.“Obviously with any significant changes,

there’s disruption to the local community,”Carbajal said. Still he’s a little more hopeful this time

around. He said Caltrans appeared to be amore flexible and receptive agency than theone the community saw in the 90s and theplan, even with its flaws, is much more work-able than before.“It’s still not perfect, but it’s a different,

more appropriate solution for a widening proj-ect,” Carbajal said.

romance and innocence of a less complicat-ed time in history.Steinkellner and her husband Bill have

lived in Montecito and raised their threewriter/artist children, Kit, Teddy and Emma,in our local schools. The couple is bestknown for their work on the sitcom“Cheers.” Both have gone on to write andproduce many other important features in

when young voices meet old tunes.Checking out vintage tunes online she real-ized the wealth of music that was untappedand unheard by today’s audiences. The story of Hello! My Baby began with

American art form,” Steinkellner said. “Itdidn’t matter if you were Jewish, Irish, richor poor, if you came up with a hit, you couldmake a million and write the same songs allthe kids were singing and are again 100years later “ said Cheri. Hello! My Baby was first staged at the

Rubicon Theater in Ventura three years agoas a student show before coming to SantaBarbara for the three performances. The Rubicon has been focused on broad-

ening and diversifying the company’s rela-tionship within the region. Creating connec-tions to communities like Santa Barbara andbringing world-class artists to the area hasbeen a part of the plan funded by The JamesIrvine Foundation. A VIP reception was heldafter the performance.

press conference at La Cumbre Junior HighSchool.The money will mostly pay for teachers,

but also equipment, depending on the needsof individual schools.The measures come at a time of wicked

budget cuts both state and locally. The SantaBarbara Unified School District has cutmore than $20 million in recent years, cutshave resulted in larger classroom sizes andfewer classes.Measures X and W would extend

Measures H and I, approved by voters in2008, another four years. The measuresexpire in 2013. In order to continue currentlevels of instruction in the target areas, vot-ers must approve these measures.The parcel tax measures together would

go to elementary, junior and high schools.Voters in Goleta and Montecito will onlyvote on Measure W, which will benefit thejunior high and high schools. Voters in thecity of Santa Barbara will vote on both Xand W, which go to help all of the 15,000students in the elementary and junior andhigh schools.Both measures require a two-thirds

majority vote.Capps started her remarks by mentioning

that she was a former school nurse at LaCumbre and had a special connection withSanta Barbara schools.“There isn’t a person in this town who

isn’t impacted by the quality of education inour schools,” Capps said. “We our educatingour next generation’s workforce.”The money in junior and high schools

would help pay for enriched math, scienceand technology education, as well as music,arts and theatre programs. More foreign lan-guage courses will be available and classsizes will be reduced. The district will alsobe able to offer more traded-related courses.Elementary schools would see enriched

science and math education, more music andperforming arts programs, increased com-puter and education technology, as well assmaller class sizes.“We live in a wonderful community that

knows the value of education,” said LynnRodriguez, president of the Santa BarbaraEducation Foundation.School board member Kate Parker said

Measures H and I, the predecessors ofMeasures X and W, have allowed SantaBarbara schools to offer important courses,without state assistance.

“Given the state budget situation, thoseprograms would be long gone by now,”Parker said.

Post Office Branchopens near VonsThe U.S. Postal Service branch formerly

inside the Read N Post has found a newhome just a few steps away.The post office is now housed in the

Montecito Country Mart, 1026 CoastVillage Road, across from the entrances toVons.

The post office was open for more than 25years at its previous location but was forcedto move after Read N Post could not affordan increase in the lease at the longtime spot."Re-opening the post office is our first

step toward resuming full Read 'n Post oper-ations," said manager Jan Hendrickson. "Weexpect to bring back the rest of the store inmid to late June."The new Read N Post location will also

be in the Montecito Country Mart. In addi-tion to containing the post office, the storewill carry a large selection of magazines,newspapers, greeting cards and other itemsthat were sold in its former location, accord-ing to a news release.Hendrickson said she expects to announce

an exact opening date for the new Read NPost by early June. "The loyal and enthusiastic support we

have received from so many people inMontecito and Santa Barbara has beenextremely rewarding," she said. "We arepleased to have the post office available nowto serve our customers, and we look forwardto re-opening the full store next month."Hours at the post office are 9 a.m. to 6

p.m., Monday through Friday. Saturdayhours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
