relationship I’ve had with my cus-tomers,” House said. “There’s no wayto put words to that. We have two dif-ferent economic classes in this town,and I’ve been witness to both of them.”Both his customers and employees

have contributed to this education. Hedescribed going to factories and inter-acting with workers. An employee ofhis own inspired him to learn Spanish. His sewing machines range from

$69 used models to $13,000 industrialmachines. Some of his customers buythem on $10 layaway. Others are high-ly successful businesses, such asGoleta- based Deckers Outdoor.House, who sells and fixes machines

and shows people how to use them, gothis start when he was laid off fromStyled Steer Leatherworks, a companythat eventually become Deckers.He was the third sewer hired by the

company started by two UCSB busi-ness graduates. It was his first sewingjob and he crafted leather handbags.When he was let go after three years in1977, parting words clued him to thenext chapter of his life.“They said to me, ‘If there’s one

thing you do well, it’s fix our sewingmachines,’” House said.He started working from his car,

driving around town to fix industrialmachines. He got so absorbed that hebegan traveling across the country toreceive training from major sewingmachine manufacturers. “There’s hundreds and hundreds of

ways to make stitches,” House said. “Ireally studied hard over the years.”Just two years after being let go from

his job, he moved from his car to hisgarage and finally opened a shop onEast Haley Street. Soon he was supply-ing Deckers with all of their machines. His store, now at 128 East Canon

Dear S&B: What is portfolio rebalancing and is it

important? – Andrew, Santa Barbara

We imagine that navigating the econ-omy and the investment markets areimportant for you in order to obtain thefinancial security you desire. Whilethere are many philosophies on how toimplement and manage portfolios, thereare several universal techniques that youcan employ to help you manage risksand hopefully obtain more consistentresults.Portfolio “rebalancing” is one of the

most common but powerful ways tocontrol risks and potentially take advan-tage of market movements. Investmentimplementation should start with an“asset allocation.” It can range frombeing conservative to ultra aggressivebut over time; the allocation will changeas investment values naturally shift.What typically occurs over time is

that one part of the portfolio growsfaster than another. For example, if youstarted with a portfolio that is 60 per-cent stocks and 40 percent bonds andstocks outperform bonds, you can findyourself with a portfolio that is 70 per-cent stocks and 30 percent bonds. Whileyou may be happy with the perform-ance, your allocation is now more

aggressive than how you started andyou are taking on higher risks. On theflip side, if stocks underperform, youcan find your portfolio too low on equi-ty holdings.So what can rebalancing do to

address this? By resetting the portfolioback to the original allocation, you willfind that you tend to trim back your bestperformers and purchase the other secu-rities which may not have increased asmuch in value. In other words, maybeselling the “winners” and buying the“losers.” Another possible way of look-ing at this: selling those “higher” andbuying those “lower?” This typicallyaccomplishes two things by keepingyour portfolio risk more consistent andit reduces emotional conflicts.

For this part quarter, if you followeda rebalancing process, you would havebeen selling bonds, which had appreci-ated in value, and you would have beenbuying stocks that fell in value. From anemotional standpoint, you may havewanted to so something else?Tax planning can also be integrated

into rebalancing accounts where youhave the opportunity to either triggergains or losses. If you have unrealizedlosses, you may want to do tax loss“harvesting” where you replace the spe-cific investment with a substitute so thatyou can use the losses later to offsetfuture gains elsewhere.There are always new investment

opportunities that reveal themselves.During the rebalancing process, thisgives you the ability to add new invest-ments and asset classes. It may makesense when you trim back winners tosee if new investment “slivers” shouldbe added to the overall “pie.” Quarterlyreviews make sense on our opinion.Rebalancing also provides the oppor-

tunity to integrate economic, mean vari-ance optimization and capital marketassumptions into the mix…topics wewill cover in future articles.

Check those old undeveloped camerafilm rolls on the top shelf in a shoeboxbecause you might have gotten lucky atthe Santa Barbara Bowl some years ago.After all, Steve Miller Band cameAugust 7, 2008, Nine Inch Nails May21, 2009, and The Cure back in 1992.Did you have a real camera or a dispos-able camera with you?

construction made the fire spread fasterthan in a more modern building. Homburgsaid it didn’t take long for the heat from theflames to begin threatening the neighboring19-unit apartment at 1429 De La Vina St.,blowing out windows on the top floor andleaving a large v-shaped scorch on the side.Authorities evacuated about 43 people

from the surrounding buildings.Firefighters went to work keeping theflames out of the 1429 building, and awayfrom the original Flying A Boarding House,which shared a similar construction to theburned building.The 40 firefighters on the scene put the

blaze down a little after 4 a.m. In addition to destroying the apartments

and scorching the 1429 De La Vina build-ing, several cars in the back of the housewere burned. Fire investigators estimatedthat the damage to the surrounding build-ings and cars totaled $800,000. The Red Cross provided the evacuees

with clothing and shelter.Brandon McKeegan lives across the

street from the building. He could seeembers flying up from inside his apartmentand went to the sidewalk to investigate. Hesaid the flames started low, but grew twoabout stories high in 15 minutes.“It was a pretty gnarly and pretty big

fire,” McKeegan said. “You could feel theheat all the way on this side of the street.”McKeegan, a 22-year resident, said he

knew at least one couple from the buildinghad lived there for at least 15 years. “But I feel bad for everyone in there,”

McKeegan said.Ortega had a much shorter stay. After

moving from Bakersfield to Ventura, shecame to Santa Barbara on June 18 to studyphotography at the Brooks Institute.“I’m finally moving to Santa Barbara

and my house burns down,” Ortega said.

Ex-First Lady Betty Ford deadLOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Betty Ford, the wife of the late

President Gerald Ford, who overcame alcohol and prescriptiondrug addictions and helped found a rehabilitation clinic thatbears her name, died on Friday at the age of 93.Ford once was dubbed the “fighting first lady” by Time mag-

azine because of her outspoken political views, which often dif-fered from those of her husband’s Republican Party.She strongly supported women’s rights while her husband

was president from 1974 to 1977, working the phones in a vainattempt to get states to pass the Equal Rights Amendment, whichsought to give women and men equality under law.Ford also was an early campaigner against breast cancer. She

underwent a mastectomy in 1974, less than two months after herhusband succeeded the disgraced Richard Nixon as president.Her frank discussions about her disease helped raise aware-

ness about breast cancer and she eventually took the sameapproach toward her alcoholism, which she battled even as firstlady.

costumers eager for discounted goods inthe days before closing.“Everyone that walks in here is a story

in themselves ...” House said,” artists, cre-ative beings.” Mary Ann Reed, 61, has been sewing

since she was three and now makes wear-able art costumes. Louise Salgado hasbeen in business 30 years, making fiestacostumes. Jim Jones made his first quilt out of his

wife’s clothing shortly after she died. “It’s been huge for me to do,” Jones

said. “It kept me off the streets and out ofthe bars.” Jones has made and given away about

50 quilts in the 8 years since, includingone for a man whose wife was killed in acar wreck, and another for a woman out ofher wedding dress.Interactions with customers like these,

and with his employees, have enrichedHouse’s life.With one employee, Jose Fajardo,

House made a deal to learn Spanish ifFajardo would learn English. Both made true on their bargain.

Fajardo went on to get his citizenship andnow has a business in Bakersfield servic-ing sewing machines. “I’ve gained a lot of friends I would not

have,” House said of learning Spanish. Ithas also helped him talk directly with con-stituents when he does interviews onKPMR Univision, a local Spanish TV sta-tion, he said.Being a business owner led House into

politics. He said older members of theGreater Eastside Merchants Associationengendered an interest in communityinvolvement, tuning him in to the prob-lems of troubled youths. The associationcreated the Eastside Study Group in 1993.“That’s how I got involved in the com-

munity stuff,” House said. He went on to serve as planning com-

missioner for eight years and is currentlyserving a second term on the City Council. The silver lining to the end of his busi-

ness is that it will free him to pursue hisnext project, OneSpiritDancing. A pilot

project of the program is currently under-way at Artisan Court working with eman-cipated foster youths and foster kids in 5thand 6th grades.It’s “getting people into their bodies”

during these troubling transitional phases,he said.He is also looking for a space where he

and another employee who fixes machinescan continue that part of the business. Heshowed a list of about 30 customers need-ing his repairs including the Bacara,Chumash Casino and Santa Barbara CityCollege Adult Education. If he can find enough space, Grant said

he would love to continue sewing lessons.Still, the area’s community of avid sew-

ers and quilters will feel the loss. House’sshop is the third quilting store to closerecently, said Irelle Beatie, president of theCoastal Quilters Guild. There will be no sewing stores left in

Santa Barbara, she said, and crafting storesdo not carry products of the same quality.“I felt somewhat devastated,” Reed

said, after learning the store was closing.Reed doesn’t know where she can drive toget the supplies she needs and the Internetwon’t cut it, she said.

“I’m a touchy-feely person,” Reed said.“A lot of sewers are.”His shop also doubles as a gallery. Many people said the store provided a

social atmosphere where artists andcrafters could mingle with their kind andglean inspiration from each other. Grant got teary-eyed showing a picture

of a devoted customer whose funeral hewill attend next week, and beamed atanother of a girl sewing her first hem.Interacting with his customers has been aprivilege, he said.“Recently we’ve been seeing compa-

nies get small, real small, and other com-panies leaving,” Grant said.Outsourcing has also been an issue with

successful companies, he said. Deckersmoved their manufacturing to China. House tried desperately to find some-

one to take over his business. He thoughthe had someone, but it fell through a fewweeks ago. He is still not quite able torelinquish that hope.“I’m looking for a mentee, someone I

can share this with,” Grant said.“I just love this business,” he said over

the familiar tap of machines. “This busi-ness has been heaven.”

Long before Lady Gaga started strad-dling grand pianos during her live per-formances, an 18-year-old DebbieGibson was doing it first, and with at leastas much passion in her voice.At the 1:55 mark of her biggest hit,

“Lost in Your Eyes,” wearing pink shoesand a blue stonewashed jacket and pantsfolded up to the knees, Gibson left herpiano bench and hopped on top of themusical instrument during a live perform-ance at the American Music Awards.

“And if I, can’t find my way, if salva-tion, seems worlds away, oh I’ll be found,when I am lost, in your eyes,” she sang tothe world.That was 1989, and Gibson was bask-

ing in the glow of her second No. 1 hit, aninternationally successful tour and admi-ration from young girls and boys all overthe world.“Lost in Your Eyes” would stay No. 1

on the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks.“I always love “Lost in Your Eyes,”

Gibson said in an exclusive interviewwith The Daily Sound. “That song waschanneled. I just sat at the piano one dayand it came pouring out without anythought.”Gibson will perform today at

Leadbetter Beach at the Santa BarbaraPride Festival. She’s the headliner of thefree festival, which begins at 11 a.m. andgoes until 7 p.m.The former teen pop star will turn 41

next month, a fact hard to fathom forthose who remember when the pop starwas the hottest ticket in music.She’s aged well, and gone from the

cutesy, sweetheart-looking teenager, to anelegant, sophisticated woman, who lookslike could double as a runway model. Butadding another job title to the palette ofthe multi-talented Gibson might be toomuch, even for her, a woman who hasbuilt a career on endless energy, bound-less enthusiasm, hard work and persever-ance.

625 Chapala StSanta Barbara

And she can write, sing and dance, all at thesame time. But it hasn’t always been easy forthe girl who grew up in Merrick, New York.Like many of the ‘80s stars, Gibson’s music

stopped getting radio airplay in the 1990s, asgrunge rock and gangsta rap redefined musicon the radio.So Gibson reinvented herself. In some ways,

she went back to her roots. Gibson moved frommusic to theatre and became a Broadway star.While other ‘80s acts disappeared, Gibson var-ied her experience and kept growing as anartist.She landed the role of Eponine in “Les

Miserables” and reinvented “On My Own,”Debbie Gibson style. She played Belle in“Beauty in the Beast,” Sandy in the Londonproduction of “Grease.” Gibson also had leadroles in productions of “Gypsy,” “Cabaret” and“Chicago.”As a child she always wanted to be a

Broadway star.“I am proud of the fact that I have kept it

going all of these years and continue to growevery minute just in my day to day life,”Gibson said. “This growth feeds my growth asa writer and performer. I have insecurities likeeveryone else but when I face a challenge,scared or not, I take the leap. In that sense I ambrave and continue to push myself and stretchand grow. I don’t have any other measure forsuccess than that.”

Gibson, who as child idolized the likes ofBilly Joel and Elton John, said being on top ofthe charts has never been what drives her.Personal growth and achievement alwayscomes first, she said.“If I am running in place, yet have hit

records, that is not success to me,” Gibson said.“And on the flip side, if I am growing daily,whether the world knows about it or recognizesit or not, I am successful!”In 1988, a 16-year-old Debbie Gibson

became the youngest singer to ever write,arrange, produce and perform a No. 1 song.“Foolish Beat,” capped a series of hit singles,such as “Shake Your Love,” and “Only in MyDreams,” off her debut album, “Out of theBlue.”Sweet, wholesome and irresistibly cute,

Gibson caught the eye of the music industrynot necessarily because of her vocal abilities,but because of her talent as songwriter.Sure, teens have had hits songs, but Gibson

was different. She idolized songwriters grow-ing up and had developed into a talented youngpiano player and musician.As a child she taught herself how to play the

ukulele and wrote her first song at the age of 5,called, “Make Sure You Know YourClassroom.”Her first album was released in 1987 and in

1989, the same year she performed at theAmerican Music Awards, she won the ASCAPSongwriter of the Year award, tying with BruceSpringsteen.As successful as she was right out of the

gate, Gibson followed up her debut with ananthem album, “Electric Youth,” a song with amessage that she has certainly taken to heart:Age is just a number.Gibson has also starred in a handful of

movies, and released 9 studio albums in the lasttwo decades. Her music and songwriting hasgrown with each album, where she has focusedon everything from social issues to respectingyour elders. In the 1990s, she sang about safesex and AIDS prevention in the song, “Kisses 4One,” from the album “Body Mind Soul.” Onthe song, “Two Young Kids” from the album“Think With Your Heart,” Gibson sings a loveletter to her grandparents, in admiration of their50 years together, through thick and thin.She has also regularly performed at Pride

Festivals over the years.“I have a wonderful, loving relationship

with the gay community since I was 16 andperforming “Only in My Dreams” in gay clubsaround the country,” Gibson said. “ … Pridesare a celebration of being yourself. That is abeautiful reason to have a party!”Of all her strengths, Gibson’s greatest

strength is perhaps the ability to be herself,through personal and professional ups anddowns. She is where she is, not because of any-one or anything, other than her own ambitionand drive to be her personal best.In that regard, she has something else in

common with Lady Gaga (who was famouslycut by her first record label), besides perform-ing on top of musical instruments. “Just do what you do, enjoy it, listen to cues

from the universe and be proactive, but don’trun around in circles saying ‘But look! I amtrying so hard,’” Gibson explained. “Be still,work on your craft, look for places to perform.As Nike says, Just Do It!”

Mike Mitchell.” Sales are expected to reach$100,000 or more.Don’t be afraid, take those old film canis-

ters in! You might get lucky. If you are inter-ested in Beatles memorabilia, the most valu-able collectibles (including not only recordsbut dolls, photos, shirts) came out between1964-68 and are marked “NEMS.” Pick upPerry Cox’ book, “The Official Price Guide tothe Beatles,” for more information. A 45-rpmrecord sleeve with bold blue ink signaturesoff all four Beatles, plus 1960’s WQAM radioDJ Charlie Murdoch’s John Hancock fromSept.11, 1964, realized more than $6,000.If you missed this next auction, and you

are a chess fan, you will be heartbroken,because you could have bought the chess setused by Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky in1972 at the World Chess Championship inIceland, signed by both masters. The boardand the pieces went for $76,275 at PhilipWeiss Auctions in New York in April. There’snothing special about the wooden board,except for the signatures and the provenance.Just another example why provenance isimportant, and should be noted even in yourown collections for future generations.

This chess set is the “back room” board –Fischer had a tantrum when he lost his secondmatch and blamed his loss on the cameras inthe main hall. So this, the third match board,was used in a small private room with nocameras. Fischer won, and captured the title.And of course the auction house got a hold ofFischer’s letters to Zita, the love of his life,and auctioned them, too for $9,888.Finally, I visited a client who had a great

old late-1960s California psychedelic rockconcert poster tacked up on a wall. These arehighly collectible. If you were at theCalifornia Rock Festival in San Jose May 23-25, 1969, you would have seen Jim Hendrix,Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, EricBurdon, Chuck Berry and Santana. The littleposter, originally designed by Linda Segul, is14x20”, in pristine condition, and it fetchedmore than $2,000 last week.The ‘60s and ‘70s rock items are getting

red hot, and we here in Santa Barbara saw thegreats early and often, so scour your shoebox-es in the closet and trunks in the garage!

WE BUY SCRAP GOLD

& GOLD JEWELRY

By David MorganSTAFF WRITER

Been following the gold and silver market lately? Well if you have a jewelry box, a lock box full of gold or a coffee can full of old coins, you should be, according to Ohio Valley Re�nery spokesperson John Miller. “The gold and silver markets have not been this strong for over 30 years” said Miller. Typically when the U.S. dollar is weak and the economy is �at, gold and silver markets soar. “That’s good news if you are sitting on a few gold necklaces or an old class ring” says Miller.

Next week, starting Tuesday at 9am and every day next week through Saturday, the Ohio Valley Re�nery is setting up a satellite re�nery right here in Goleta at the Hampton Inn. During their 5 day stay, anyone can bring gold, silver or platinum items and turn them in for immediate payment, explains John Miller. “Just about everybody has some amount of gold or silver just lying around collecting dust and this week anybody can sell theirs direct to our re�nery. Typically selling direct to a re�nery is reserved for larger wholesale customers like jewelry stores, pawn shops and laboratories” says Miller. “We are changing how business is done,” he explains “we want to do business with everybody so we took our business to the streets”. “Our teams visit various cities around the country hosting 5 day events and allowing the general public to take advantage of our services. “The turnout has been

overwhelming” says Miller. “Usually each day is busier than the previous day. It seems once people come to us and sell something, they are so amazed what an old ring or gold coin is worth, they go home and start digging around for more and telling relatives, friends and neighbors. It’s like a feeding frenzy by the third day. People line up with everything from gold jewelry to sterling silver �atware sets to old coins. I think during this bad economy everybody can use extra money, but most people say they are taking advantage of selling direct to our re�nery because of the higher prices we pay”.

During this special event, anyone is welcome to bring all types of gold, silver and platinum to the re�nery and turn it in for instant payment. The types of items they will accept include all gold jewelry, gold coins, gold ounces, dental gold, old coins made before 1965 including silver dollars, halves, quarters and dimes, anything marked “sterling” including �atware sets, tea pots, silver bars, silver ounces and all industrial precious metals.

What should you expect if you go to the event to sell your gold and/or silver? Just gather up all gold, silver and platinum in any form. If you are not sure if it’s gold or silver, bring it in and they will test it for free. When you arrive at the event you will be asked to �ll out a simple registration card and will be issued a number. Seating will be available. When your number is called you will be escorted to a table where your items will be examined, tested and

sorted. This only takes a few minutes, using their expertise and specialized equipment. Items will be counted and/or weighed. The value of the items will be determined based on up to the minute market prices. Live feeds will be available at the event displaying current market prices of all precious metals. If you choose to sell your items, they will be bagged and tagged and you will be escorted to the cashier to collect your payment. Waiting time to sell your items may range from just a few minutes to 1 hour, so bring something to read. If you are the owner of a jewelry store, pawn shop, dentist of�ce or a dealer you are encouraged to call ahead to make an appointment with the smelt master to discuss their

special dealer programs. They can be reached during Re�nery hours at (217) 787-7767.

Ohio Valley Re�nery will open for business Tuesday from 9am–6pm. The event continues every day through next Saturday. No appointment is needed for the general public.
