A Message From The President

2016 Santa Barbara Beautiful Board of DirectorsGinny Brush, Stacey J. Byers, Jeanette Casillas, Ricardo Castellanos, Tim Downey, Jacqueline S. Dyson,

Suzanne Fairly, Randy Figgins, Christie Gallagher, David Gress, Penny Haberman, David Jacoby, Patti Jacquemain, Lori Kari, Kate Kurlas, Duke McPherson, Suzanne Mellichamp,

Jo Ann Mermis, Kerry Methner, Deborah Schwartz, Leslee Sipress, Carol Terry, Mark Whitehurst, and Steve Windhager.

WelCoMe to 2016 SAntA BArBArA BeAutiful AnnuAl AWArdS CereMony. today we gather to

celebrate those who make our beautiful city special and who are a true testament to the commitment of our community to create a beautiful place to live, work and visit. those who create Waves of Beauty everywhere we turn.

After celebrating our Golden Anniversary last year, i began to ponder what we will look like in the next twenty–five years. there is so much to be proud of, aside from the fact that our organization has been around this long, a true testament in itself. We remember those that came before us, the community ‘activists’ that cared about how our city was portrayed in architecture, landscape and public art that we have come to cherish.

We look forward to continuing this tradition by staying relevant in all that we do. look for our updated website coming soon.

We are dedicated to the belief that visual aesthetics of a place matter and know that the value of an urban landscape that is pleasing to the eyes and beneficial to the environment are cornerstones of what gives us our sense of place. Art in public spaces helps to provide our cultural identity to enhance civic vitality. our hope is to inspire future generations to become the next stewards of our beautiful city just as we were entrusted as stewards from the generation before us.

Since 1965, Santa Barbara Beautiful has overseen the planting of over 12,000 trees throughout the city. We have celebrated Arbor day by going to the elementary schools and donating books to their libraries and showing them the importance of trees. Watching children take part in planting a tree is truly an amazing thing to witness. Just seeing the smiles on their faces makes it worthwhile.

We have provided grants that have supported public art and landscape design projects and provided scholarships to Santa Barbara City College students majoring in environmental Horticulture. Santa Barbara Beautiful has partnered with other organizations such as Media4Good’s youth interactive Santa Barbara, an after

school program for students in our city focusing on technology, entrepeneurership and the Arts (teA). We have been involved in numerous partnerships with other community organizations, an effective way to achieve our shared goals. together we represent Santa Barbara as a visionary city for the arts.

Santa Barbara Beautiful has celebrated numerous individuals, residents and business owners who have demonstrated exceptional efforts to make our city one of a kind. Past property winners have become jewels of their neighborhoods and have been an encouragement to others to make a statement in their own yards. Congratulations to all of you as well as to our special

award winners.i would like to thank our hard working and dedicated Board of

directors; this year’s Awards Committee headed by Jo Ann Mermis and to lori Kari who continues to find the best judges year after year. thank you Judges for your professionalism. A special thank you to our voice over narrators Maria McCall and dirk Brandts, dana Morrow of roadShow Media, my good buddy Alan rose who ran the red Carpet interviews and to our Mistress of Ceremonies Gwen Stauffer. And finally to our wonderful sponsors, without whom this evening would not be possible.

Kellam de Forest

SeeMinGly Born to CHAMPion beautification in the areas of preservation, protection, and restoration of

historic resources including natural, architectural, or cultural, Kellam de forest will receive Santa Barbara Beautiful’s 2016 Jacaranda Award for outstanding Community Service.

As a founding member of the Pearl Chase Society and a longtime chair of their Preservation Committee, Kellam has been involved in all aspects of their important preservation work.

“Kellam is an outstanding director and contributor to the Pearl Chase Society,” shared Steve dowty, Pearl Chase Society President. “He exemplifies the Society’s mission to preserve the rich architectural and landscape history of Santa Barbara. Approaching his 90th year he remains the activist and spokesman, attending all HlC and ABr design meetings.”

Kellam not only serves as the guardian of his native city but also maintains his family’s creative legacy. Kellam’s father and grandfather, lockwood junior and senior, were the acclaimed landscape architect and nationally recognized painter. Kellam continued in his family’s artistic spirit during his professional life by consulting in the motion

picture and tV industries. “Santa Barbara has its own feel, its own ambience, and its

own identity,” Kellam has shared. He not only talks about preserving Santa Barbara’s historic, beautiful architectural

tradition, he personifies the very traditions he has been advocating to protect.

Kellam also played a major role in the creation of a new Historic Element in the City of Santa Barbara’s 20-year General Plan update.

A partial list of Kellam’s championed projects include franceschi House, Moody Sisters tea/House Cottage, Santa Barbara Botanic Garden meadow restoration, Mattei’s tavern landmark designation, and lemon Scented Gums designation as historic trees at the Central library.

this award adds to his many recent awards including; the 2010 Pearl Chase Historic Preservation and Conservation Award bestowed by the Santa Barbara

trust for Historic Preservation, the 2013 Santa Barbara Award from the city Historic landmarks Commission, the 2014 preservation steward by the Montecito Association, and the 2009 Preservation Hero from the Library of American landscape History.

Marilyn Horne Main House, Music Academy of the West

driVinG tHrouGH tHe riCHly Wooded, garden-filled estate, visitors can discover the historic

and recently restored Marilyn Horne Main House; this year’s President’s Award winner. Situated on a stunning ten acres, the former Miraflores estate, originally the site of the Santa Barbara Country Club, has been home to the Music Academy of the West since 1951.

Purchased in 1915 by Mr. and Mrs. John Percival Jefferson, the property took on its distinctive Mediterranean revival style elegance under the direction of architect reginald G. Johnson and landscape architect Paul G. thiene. the conservation of this structure was the number one priority for Schipper Construction, who meticulously restored the original building to “bring back” its original charm – as envisioned by Johnson and thiene – by adhering to the original design, architectural, and landscape features.

in addition to seismic retrofitting and replacement of early twentieth century electrical and plumbing; restorative features were meticulously executed. original exterior windows and

doors were removed, restored, and re-installed, the carved entry stone arches were lovingly refurbished, the back courtyard terrace was salvaged and completely restored by replicating the original concrete pattern of the patio floor. Additionally, the original decorative ceramic tiles of the reflecting pool were cleaned and restored to their original glory.

the dedication on the part of the Music Academy of the West

to preserve, renovate, and bring back the luster of an aged building on a historic campus and by Schipper Construction in restoring such an important piece of Santa Barbara’s history are the reasons that the Marilyn Horne Main House won the President’s Award. this recent renovation will provide the best possible experience for guests and the community at the Music Academy’s world class facility.

Stevenson’s Residence: 845 Norma Way, Goleta CA

inCorPorAtinG More tHAn 40 different tyPeS of CAliforniA nAtiVe PlAntS, the

Stevenson property takes full advantage of our state’s rich botanic diversity to create a distinctly Californian sense of place. the landscape plan integrates water conservation design with low water use native plant choices to serve as a model of beauty and sustainability. With that in mind, the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is pleased to present this year’s native Choice Award for leadership in the use of California native plants to Martin and elizabeth Stevenson for their residence at 845 norma Way.

Situated between two forks of San Jose Creek, the Stevenson’s approximately 10,000 square foot property serves as an inspiration to homeowners who would like to replace their lawn with a more creative and water thrifty design. like many Santa Barbara residences, this property was formerly landscaped with non-native ivy groundcover in the front yard and non-native hedges and a lawn in the backyard, all irrigated with sprinklers. now this space is filled with more than forty native plant species (primarily Santa Barbara-South Coast genetic stock), including groundcovers, shrubs, aquatic plants, trees and wildflowers. together these beautiful natives offer year round color, texture and variety while providing habitat and food for local wildlife.

in working with the Stevensons, daniel Wilson, president and founder of Wilson environmental Contracting, focused on water conservation. Sprinklers were eliminated and much of the site’s water supply now comes from carefully redirected

roof runoff moving through sculpted soils to become cistern-stored rainwater. Supplemental irrigation, when needed (approximately every 22-25 days), is delivered via drip emitters. All hardscape is permeable and includes cobble driveway, unit paver patio and paths, and mulched or decomposed granite paths. the property is heavily mulched with on site recycled wood chips created from a non-native sycamore species which was removed.

native plants Wilson selected for the Stevensons include: giant chain fern, holly-leaf cherry, ironwood, currant, chaparral currant, mountain mahogany, quail bush, old-man sage, white sage, five kinds of buckwheats (California, desert, island, sea-cliff, and St. Catherine’s lace), two kinds of dudleyas, monkeyflower, three kinds of manzanitas (Howard McMinn, Sunset, Carmel Sur), groundcover ceanothus, textile rush, deergrass, hummingbird sage, woodmint, island alum root/coral bells, scouring rush, iris-leaved rush, yucca, snowberry, barberry, four kinds of aquatic plants (spike-rush, rush, cattail, sedge), and California poppies.

The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is a private nonprofit charity that has been conserving California’s native plants for over 90 years. Founded by eminent plant ecologist Frederic Clements in 1926, the Garden is one of the nation’s oldest botanical gardens focused exclusively on native plants. It’s innovative platform was the combination of public displays, scientific research, education, and promotion of landscaping with native plants. In 2014, the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden established the Native Choice Award to recognize leadership by an individual or organization in the use of California native plants in a designed landscape and celebrate the people and the plants that make Santa Barbara uniquely beautiful.

Leon Olson

Moreton Bay Fig Award for a Body of Work

el Andaluz

WitH A Body of WorK AS riCHly VAried AS HiS PerSonAlity And ABilitieS, leon olson emerged on the Santa Barbara scene in 1977, after a career in

lincoln, nebraska. A graduate of the university of nebraska school of architecture, he had recently sold a design / build construction business that he and his partners initiated in 1969 which focused on residential and multi-family projects. But now leon, new to California, was ready for something different. His plan? Art.

A few days after arriving in Santa Barbara, leon discovered what the city could provide when he experienced his first “Summer Solstice” parade. leon was “home.”

Quickly determining that such an open and creative venture was a good place to put his energy, he became a part of the Mime Caravan Board, helping transform the Summer Solstice event into Summer Solstice inc., a non-profit company which continues to sponsor the popular Summer Solstice parade and festival. He served on its board in many roles for eight years.

not completely giving up his interest and experience in the development and construction of residential properties, even while he pursued the skills of a fine artist and non-profit leader, Leon was led to “Homes for People” where he joined the Board and served as treasurer for many years. during his term on the board, Homes for People helped 63 Santa Barbara families build their homes.

in 1989 he joined the Board of the Contemporary Arts forum and served a term as President. He was integral in their finance Committee and helped to develop and then served on the Million dollar raffle

Committee for six very successful years.leon re-emerged in the design / build industry big time in 2006 with the laguna Vieja development,

a Santa Barbara Beautiful Award winner in a collaboration with Jeff Shelton. Since then he and the team have been cooking with winning projects, leon providing business leadership on a team including Architect Jeff Shelton and Contractor dan upton, who have created several successful collaborations over the years.

His non-profit and arts work also continued. in 2009 Leon joined the board of the Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative and now heads the Community Arts Workshop construction project on Garden Street. leon also served as a member of the City Arts Advisory Committee where he was instrumental in establishing the Business in Art Award, an annual award that recognizes individuals or entities that have demonstrated a strong commitment to supporting the local arts community.

leon also became a gifted visual artist and along with his business partners, has developed, owned, and managed several award-winning, downtown landmark

properties, including the property where he and his wife elizabeth live.

Allen Construction

Playa de Santa Barbara Award for Environmental Stewardship

A GenerAl ContrACtor SerVinG SAntA BArBArA SinCe 1983, Allen ConStruCtion

holds environmental stewardship as a guiding principle for its operations. An employee-owned company with over 100 employees, the company also has offices in Santa ynez, Ventura and los Angeles.

“Since the inception of our company in 1983, one of our core commitments has been to construct green, sustainable, high-performing, water- and energy-efficient buildings,” shared Allen Construction President, Bryan Henson. “We have spent the past decade focused on driving down the cost of implementing green practices, and have demonstrated time

and again that green building can happen on any budget. We believe that this organizational focus makes our residential and commercial building projects that much better for the communities we serve.”

Allen Construction has been a proactive leader in the green building arena, not shying away from taking on cutting edge, sustainable projects using innovative building materials and systems, including leed (leadership in energy and environmental design) certifications - with six leed accredited professionals.

“Allen Construction is not only the best builder and remodeler in the area, they are also a leader in the community

at large. Allen Construction is nationally recognized in the green building movement, and has done much to encourage

this approach locally,” a former client shared.

Allen Construction also educates the community on the latest developments in the building industry through free, informational, workshops on a variety of topics including Aging in Place, Healthy Homes, High efficiency Home design, drought tolerant landscape design, and fire Protection for your Home; leads home tours for the architectural community and the general public that focus

on the sustainable attributes and innovative green thinking that goes into its projects; participates annually in earth day events in Santa Barbara, Santa ynez, ojai and Ventura; remodeled its offices to be more energy, water, and resource efficient; has a company fleet consisting of primarily energy-efficiencv vehicles; has more Built Green certified projects, a program sponsored by the Santa Barbara Contractors Association, than any other general contractor; and won both the local uSGBC “Best Green Home” in late 2015 and the Santa Barbara Contractor’s Association “Sustainable and High Performance Building” award in early 2016.

After tonight, Allen Construction can add Santa Barbara Beautiful’s 2016 Playa de Santa Barbara Award for environmental Stewardship to its accolades.

Santa Barbara Beautiful: The Early Years

41

A MeetinG was held on September 9, 1965 at City Hall for the purpose of establishing Santa Barbara Beautiful (SBB)

as the name of a new developing organization. the founder, Mrs. Catherine Adams, was present, and the founding committee included Mahlon read, chairman; Miss Pearl Chase (City Plans & Planting); r. Peter Krupszak, Secretary (Ge–tempo); Stan

C. lowry (Chamber of Commerce); and Michael Pahos, city landscape architect. At this meeting Miss Chase offered a quotation from Abraham lincoln that says “i like to see a man proud of the place where he lives.” She said she felt a motto could help to crystallize community thinking and stimulate interest. thus the idea for Santa Barbara Beautiful took root.

Santa Barbara Beautiful was formally inaugurated at a dinner which took place days later, on September 15, 1965 at the Miramar,

launching the active, achievement-oriented civic organization. the fledgling organization with r. Peter Krupszak as

President, held its first meeting in 1966 on January 19 at el Paseo Green room. By September of 1966, Santa Barbara Beautiful had 17 Board members.

the first awards program was carried out by the organization in 1966. that year commercial and industrial firms were recognized, as there was a need to encourage improvement. the judges included architects, landscape designers, and laymen active in garden clubs. the awards certificate, designed by James “Bud” Bottoms, was used at this first affair.

At the annual awards banquet 1979, Mayor Shiffman expressed his high regard to SBB for calling the public’s attention to the importance of recognizing projects of beauty in the community. He noted that the program “was done without taxation, essentially a love offering from private citizens.”

for many years, Santa Barbara Beautiful commemorated dr. Pearl Chase’s birthday as a part of the program during the annual awards banquets. roses from the Mission rose Garden were used to decorate every table.

the story of the life of dr. Chase (1888–1979) is very well known, but perhaps it is not so well known that she was one of the founding members of Santa Barbara Beautiful. She was an active participating member of the Board of directors down through the years. Her contributions were many.

Both dr. Pearl Chase and Jim Hodges dearly loved trees and all growing things, and they strongly supported the Street tree Planting Program. Consequently, the Board of directors of Santa Barbara Beautiful established a “tree replacement Memorial fund” to honor these two board members. Approximately 300 street trees are lost every year due to disease, old age, weather, or vandalism, so this ongoing fund will serve to assure the replacement of the lost trees.

durinG tHe lASt 51 yeArS of work in and around the City of Santa Barbara, the community has witnessed

Santa Barbara Beautiful (SBB) extending its hand in support of community projects with an ongoing commitment to beautification. Some of their projects represent the wide open possibilities of the organization’s longstanding commitments to children and education about the natural world, such as Arbor day programs in local schools.

for Santa Barbara Beautiful, collaboration is key as the organization looks around the community for ways to offer a helping hand and give an encouraging boost to local programs with similar goals and missions.

Santa Barbara Beautiful has treated its work as a mission to create a legacy of beauty. the organization plans to continue preserving and protecting Santa Barbara’s rich and diverse urban forest through its commemorative tree and neighborhood street tree programs. SBB’s mission also includes supporting and promoting art in public places as well as extending a hand in appreciation, recognizing exceptional beautification efforts with its awards programs for individuals and organizations.

COMMiTMenT TO The ArTS: Santa Barbara Beautiful’s strong commitment to visual and cultural arts is often demonstrated in its community grants program, helping fund significant projects. Past collaborations include the new airport terminal mosaic medallion; restoration of Herbert Bayer’s Chromatic Gate; and the development of a Cultural Arts Master Plan.

this year Santa Barbara Beautiful funded several art related projects such as a Phoebe Brunner mural, Hurry Home, in the funk Zone; What Breathes Us: Santa Barbara Poets Laureate 2005-2015, a book of poems that celebrates ten years of Santa Barbara poet laureates; and has approved a scholarship for a MAd Academy student.

Funk Zone Public Art ProgramHurry Home, a mural created by Santa Barbara Artist Phoebe Brunner, is located at 127 Gray Avenue (corner of yanonali and Gray). the funk Zone Public Art Program, as approved by the City, allows property owners and tenants to work directly with the Arts fund and selected artists to create site specific public art projects within the funk Zone’s boundaries. the goal is that in time the murals and public art projects will add to the funk Zone’s already dynamic environment to attract a larger audience for the arts.

I MadonnariSBB supports the Children’s Creative Project via participation in the i Madonnari italian Street Painting festival. A large-scale chalk rendering of an original work by the funk Zone’s youth interactive art team lit up the old Mission plaza in dynamic blazing color over the Memorial day Holiday. 2016 marked the ninth consecutive year SBB has sponsored this art project. this year's project was dynamic, and, through the process, mentored an energetic group of young artists.

Tree City USASince 1980, the City of Santa Barbara has earned recognition as a “tree City uSA” from the national Arbor day foundation for 35 consecutive years. the City of Santa Barbara honors SBB for its urban forest partnership with a yearly Arbor day Proclamation at City Hall.

Commemorative Tree Programthe commemorative tree program has long been a favorite for families, friends, pet lovers and organizations. these dedication markers are installed at the base of city street trees. Proceeds from the plaques help fund the purchase of new street trees in collaboration with the City Parks & recreation department.

Street Tree ProgramSanta Barbara Beautiful continues to preserve and protect Santa Barbara’s rich and diverse urban forest through its neighborhood street tree program. With funding from Santa Barbara Beautiful (raised through private donations) and the hard work of City Parks & recreation department crews, this partnership has planted more than 12,000 street trees within the City of Santa Barbara. this year’s severe drought has impacted the street tree program, with preservation of existing trees now a priority.
