Make Myself at HoMe

The summer we turned 15, my best friend, Juli, Juli, , and I went to the beach , and I went to the beach ,almost every day. We kept a calendar to track our escapades. If we made it

to the beach, we marked the calendar with a big X. If we didn’t get there, we recorded the explanation: “It was cloudy; went shop-ping.” By the time school started, almost every day was crossed out. It was a glorious, golden summer. We swam, body surfed, and pretended we were on our own private island.

Fast-forward more than a few years to the present. Juli and I are still best friends and still pretty beach-obsessed. Families and careers have overshadowed some leisure time, but last year we vacationed together right here in Santa Barbara and visited five beaches in five days. It was as close to that 15-year-old sum-mer as we’ll likely get in the foreseeable future.

I still try to get to the beach every day, and I still harbor the dream of my own private island.

When I visited 3111 Padaro Lane last week, I knew it would be a special property, but I had no idea just how special. As I walked toward the house, I could see through the open door to the wall of windows looking out on the backyard and the ocean beyond. I was drawn

straight through the high-ceilinged living room, out the glass-walled veranda, to the edge of the cliff. The view is incredible. From the left, you can see all the way past the dis-tinctive white roofs of Santa Claus Lane to Loon Point. To the right, there’s more sweep-ing coastline and crashing waves out to Surf Point.

Truth be told, I was somewhat intimidated going to visit a $14 million property. I con-fessed as much to Jasmine, who was showing me the house that day, but she encouraged me to make myself comfortable and look around. She pointed out the separate guest house that was open and available to tour, as well, so I decided that if I had to tear myself away from the ocean view and go inside, the smaller sister might be the less nerve-racking starting point.

The little one-bedroom/one-bathroom guesthouse is light, airy, and casual. It feels like an informal vacation home. I relaxed a little more.

Feeling bolder, I toured the main house, finding four bedrooms and three bathrooms that were just as comfortable and inviting. I could imagine kids traipsing straight into the house from the beach and not being

scolded for tracking in a little sand. While it’s not rustic by any means, it’s certainly not fancy. It’s a sturdy, beautiful two-story beach house with huge windows, decks, and doors that all take advantage of the amazing panoramic ocean view.

It turns out that this property has been in the same family for generations. It was part of an orig-inal 30-acre parcel with a home called Rosewood Mansion, which still exists near the Beach Club. In the late ’50s, the 30-acre parcel was subdivided into various-sized lots and sold, but the owners kept this two-acre parcel and built this home in 1965. It has remained in the family ever since and has never before been on the market.

I thanked Jasmine for the his-tory lesson. It was time to head back to the office, but I couldn’t resist one more walk along the ocean bluff. I may never live in a

$14 million house, but I was now feeling at home, and that hypnotizing beach view gave me my own private island.

A dog in a pickup truck, low-slung pants, a swagger, a loud mouth, and a can-do attitude have long

defined the construction worker.Of course, hammers (now pneumatic

nailers), saws (power miter saws), drills (cordless drills), and levels (laser range-finders) have always been a part of build-ing, but equally if not more important today are iPhones, iPads, computers, and electronic prints. These demand addi-tional skill sets. The benefits are numer-ous, among which are more organized projects, better communication, and less waste.

An even bigger change, in my opinion, is the opening of construction to women, or, more accurately, women demanding access to good jobs in the industry. It has not been easy. The pioneering women have endured pervasive denigration, belittlement, intimidation, and sexual harassment. These behaviors still exist in the field but with less frequency. Accord-ing to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ 2010 report, women currently make up 9 percent of the construction work force, or more than 800,000.

Women still do not generally think of construction as a career, but it is an option and truly a good one. It offers a ticket to the middle class. Wages range from $15-$80 an hour or even more. Per-haps the most satisfying aspect is being a part of creating something tangible: beautiful structures out of seemingly nothing. The field has a shortage of work-ers of either gender with good skills and qualifications. Many of the jobs are not physically hard, though some are, while many are mentally demanding. A good brain is often the best tool.

The National Association of Women in Construction has approximately 100 chapters scattered across the country. Many of these provide training oppor-tunities for women wanting to enter the field or advance up the ladder to a more challenging, responsible, lucrative position.

Good computer skills and the abili-ties to multitask, organize, and commu-nicate well can give a woman the edge over many men in construction. Women make up more than 20 percent of the team in our company, Allen Construc-tion. Their presence, some in key man-agement positions and others out with the guys in the field, have enriched our company culture and helped boost us into the top tier of construction compa-nies nationally.

Before Mother Teresa, there were the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. In 1857, two

courageous women, Andrea Gibbs and Mary Mullane, took a ship from Maryland to the Isthmus of Panama and then embarked on another ship to San Francisco, only to complete their journey on a third boat ride down to Santa Barbara. Their mis-sion was to open a school and help the less fortunate.

Arriving in Santa Barbara on January 5, 1858, the Sisters initially lived and began their school in an old adobe near the corner of Carrillo and State streets that is believed to have been the headquarters of General Frémont (for which the city near San Francisco is named). Within a few years, the Sisters moved their school to 360-plus acres of farmland on the Cieneguitas Ranch near the intersection of today’s San Marcos Pass and 101 freeway. There, they established the first English-speaking school in the region, naming it St. Vincent.

By 1868, the Sisters acquired property near Carrillo and De la Vina streets, where a two-story brick building was constructed, only to be torched by fire within a few years. In 1874, under the direction of Peter S. Barber, architect A. Marquis designed a three-story Italianate Victorian with a basement. For the next half-century, the Sisters’ school took in a wide diversity of less-privileged children.

In 1925, the great Santa Barbara earthquake caused structural damage to the De la Vina property. It was subsequently decided that the building’s third story would be removed. Today, it serves as private offices and has been recognized by the late architectural historian, Dr. David Gebhard, who wrote, “Due to its size and design, this is unquestionably the most important late 19th century building still standing in Santa Barbara.”

Original Owner: Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul

Real Mexicans eat real chiles and make real salsa. That’s in our cultural DNA. Not only did the ancient Aztecs ritually rip the hearts out of their conquests, but they also stone-ground chile-peppers and tomatoes to make a condiment that has endured the Spanish conquest and become an American staple. In this week’s

column, Gustavo the Gardenator shares his wisdom of this ancient art form of what he calls “being a real Mexican.”

The fastest way to get your honorary Mexican citizenship is to buy three different five-gallon chile pepper plants. Gustavo recommends chile de árbol as your go-to chile plant, chile campana as a nice complement, and chile habanero to add the heat. Be careful because “el habanero es bravisimo” (it’s really, really hot).

Mix your soil with organic fertilizer, and make sure you water them two to three times a week, especially when first planted. Chiles like the warm sun and will ripen in the sum-mer. “En dos meses, dan chilitos,” says Gustavo, meaning that, in two months, you’ll get lots of peppers. If you want to sundry your chile de árbol, you can leave them in the sun and wait another two months. The total cost for this path to dual citizenship: $150 bucks.

So what to do with these peppers? Here is Gustavo’s quick and simple salsa

recipes. This is your medium-heat house staple using a blender. You can experiment and vary this recipe to your heart’s content.—3 jitomates (red tomatoes), boiled—10 tomates (small green tomatoes with husks, what your gringos call tomatillos), boiled—6 dried chiles de árbol —Garlic clove and saltPut the stuff in the blender with a little bit of water.

And here is Gustavo’s Aztec warrior salsa recipe using a molcajete (Mexican stone mortar and pestle).First add a clove of garlic, and mash that up in the molcajete.

Wrap the jitomates and tomates in aluminum and roast them on comal (Mexican iron griddle). Remove skin and pulp and then add them to the molcajete. Toast the chiles and add those, too. Add salt and a tiny bit of water, and bam!

Grab chips and beer, and start the fiesta music with Vicente Fernández or Eydie Gormé and Los Panchos’ version of “Sabor a Mi.”

Soak off the labels, because they tend to come loose, and submerge the jar in the empty space at the end of the tank away from the flushing mechanism.

Area DescriptionSandwiched between the cities of Santa Barbara and Goleta, this unincorpo-rated swath of Santa Barbara County land is a mix of suburban develop-ments, semirural neighborhoods, and some of the last stands of true urban agriculture in Southern California. Properties range from ranch-style homes with horse stables to modest singly-family dwellings to townhomes, condos, and a few apartment com-plexes. Strip malls serve most commer-cial needs—but they’re home to gems like the Creek Side Inn bar and Cody’s Restaurant—and outdoor recreation abounds, thanks to the bluff tops of More Mesa, the trails of Tucker’s Grove, hidden parks around every corner, and bike paths through it all.

Area highlightsThe Neighbors: Families of all shapes and sizes, plus students, professionals young and old, and retirees.

Market: Single-family homes and condo complexes abound, but gold can be found in the large lots with fixer-upper ranch homes.

Lifestyle: Relaxed and semirural, so it’s quiet and quaint, with the beach or hiking always on the mind.

You’ll Love: Picnics at Tucker’s Grove, watching hang gliders at More Mesa, a quick round at Hidden Oaks Golf Course, country karaoke at the Creek Side, and breakfast at Cody’s.

Perfect For: Families wanting to break in with a condo or win big with some elbow grease on a big lot.

Around the AreaQuite a unique mix of open space and density, Noleta is the semirural mix of residential and commercial properties sandwiched between the cities of Goleta and Santa Barbara. The housing types are as varied as anywhere on the entire South Coast, ranging from large estates and modest single-family homes to upscale townhomes and affordable condos. Prop-erties come in all manner of conditions, as well: turnkey suburban tract homes, large properties with old ranch-style homes needing TLC, and condos priced low enough for young families to enter the market.

Aside from the main thoroughfare of Hollister Avenue (which is what State Street turns into at Modoc Road), the streets tend to be very quiet, and leisure time is often spent hiking the trails at Tucker’s Grove park, walking down the More Mesa bluffs to the secluded sands below, or playing a laid-back round at the executive-sized, nine-hole Hidden Oaks Golf Course. There is plenty of true urban agriculture scattered amid the develop-ments, as well, and Lane Farms, in par-ticular, serves as a farming hub, each year hosting the region’s most popular pump-kin patch.

There is plenty of commercial activ-ity, too, from the beloved breakfast spot

Cody’s at Turnpike and Hollister to beers at the Creek Side Inn, award-winning bar-becue at Woody’s, and arguably the best fast food burger in the world at the Santa Barbara area’s only In-N-Out. Java Station and Goleta Coffee Company hold down the cup o’ joe crowds, while Del Pueblo Café and the Bourbon Room promise great eats at reasonable prices.

Perhaps the best part of all is that a dedicated bicycle trail runs through Noleta, connecting Santa Barbara to Goleta and UCSB and providing an easy, relaxing way to enjoy a weekend day. Noleta offers everything you need, but with peace, quiet, and lots of space to truly enjoy life.
