<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The hardest working elected official guy around. <b>Seriously. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Don't let the stories of miscreant politicians sway your opinion of those who chose public service to actually make a change in their communities and in the lives of their constituents. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As Colbert would say, Das represents the "Fighting 37th" Assembly District in California, which includes my little red-tiled town of Santa Barbara, as well as Goleta, Carpinteria, Solvang, Ojai and </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Ventura. It's a big territory, and Das and his staff are determined to listen to and represent us all.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whether it be attending SBCC science students project presentations, visiting local farms, presenting disaster preparedness events, writing legislation acknowledging the importance of bees to our food system, working to get more students into and through college without selling out their financial futures, saving people from toppled carriages or picking up trash along the local beaches for coastal clean up day, Das seems to be everywhere.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>I want what vitamins he's taking.</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On this day of nationally acknowledging the climate, I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge what an inspiration my local ecologically "with it" Assemblymember has been to me. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Thanks, Das.</span></b></span><br />

Bill was challenged by Dartmouth’s short playing seasons ... by its high academic requirements ... and by an annual </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">crop of walk-ons ... </span></div>

It was part of a formal survey he used to help assess talent – NOT physical talent, mental talent ... To sort of see what you had in you ... In about a ten-question questionnaire, it was always the last question – he sort of tucked in at the end, just to make sure you were paying attention and hadn’t lost your focus along the way ...</span></div>

Along with all the signs around the clubhouse, Bill put up on the walls photos and records of all of Dartmouth golf’s legends – many of whom I can say – having dusted some of their photos once or twice as punishment – are actually around the room here tonight ...</span></div>

He’d talk about these players ... He’d tell stories about them ... He’d get you important facts about them ... Almost like he was talking about his own kids ...

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Crave dinners at Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara (MCASB).</b> An innovative and dynamic form of aesthetic hospitality, <b>Crave: Art, Food, & Social Experience</b> comprises a series of artist-orchestrated, themed events in collaboration with local chefs known for their distinctive culinary styles. They are culinary events unlike anything else that Santa Barbara has to offer.
The first installment,<a href="http://www.mcasantabarbara.org/node/225"> Crave: Deflowered & </a></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.mcasantabarbara.org/node/225">Devoured/Stigma & Style,</a> is organized by artist <a href="http://www.dianapuntar.com/">Diana Puntar</a> and is taking place at MCASB on April 19 at 7 pm. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Puntar will be working with local chef <a href="http://chefedie.com/">Edie Robertson</a> (fellow Santa Barbara High Don); they're finalizing the exotic, five-course menu this weekend. There will be a focus on aphrodisiacs (such as basil, oysters, figs, and honey), and there will be a performance titled "Honey" by Julie Tolentino and Stosh Fila to accompany the dinner that evening. There should be some interesting light and sound elements in Puntar's installation as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">MCASB members can buy tickets for $240, and general admission is $260.

<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The table is set with an elegant fusion of Southern comfort food and fine French cuisine. The beef and lamb are grass-fed; the artisan smoked hams are from locally raised pigs. The produce is locally grown and, of course, organic. All this local bounty is enhanced by fine imports: Italian Parmesan, French wine, and extra virgin olive oil. No, you’re not sitting down to eat with Michael Pollan; you’re at the table of Thomas Jefferson, statesman and gourmand extraordinaire. </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Despite his service as legislator, the governor of Virginia, minister to France, secretary of state, and president of the United States, Jefferson likely believed his famous statement: “The greatest service which can be rendered any country is to add a useful plant to its culture.” In honor of the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we explore the author’s lesser-known contribution to American culture: his influence on the country’s culinary tradition. - <a href="http://www.salon.com/2011/07/02/jefferson_culinary_history/">Salon</a></span></blockquote>

<div class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Restaurant News is reporting that hospitals are upping their foodservice with improved dining experiences.</span></div>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“The trend in restaurants is that folks are trying to cater menus to healthier, fresher options, and given that we’re in health care, it was important for us,” said Gina Weldy, vice president of real estate for Northwestern Memorial. “In the work environment we’re in now, people eat three meals a day near the office. These concepts give us the ability to offer that.” </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Those objectives for the hospital align nicely with a fast-casual restaurant’s operating conditions, Matros said. </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><br />“I like that it’s a 24-hour environment,” he said. “While we’re not 24-hour, there are people [at the hospital] all the time, during [our] breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack [dayparts]. For the people working the midnight shift, their breakfast might be at 7 o’clock. It’s not just doctors and nurses, either. There are lots of support staff, biotech sales reps and pharmaceutical sales reps.”

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We here in Santa Barbara know that Cottage Hospital has some terrific food served up at a seriously good price and, in addition, are trying to source local. (If you have a back issue of <a href="http://ediblenetwork.com/santabarbara/category/online-magazine/spring-2011/">Edible Santa Barbara from Spring of 2011</a>, look for the article on Cottage's Farmers Market. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">You can't make it any simpler than that in this agricultural area we call home. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">"Barbarians" need to take a good look around and see how we can conserve on our water usage.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>Last year was one of the driest years on record in Santa Barbara County</b>, with below-average rainfall and shrinking reservoir levels. Water agencies already are drawing comparisons to the 1987-1991-era drought, and say voluntary and mandatory conservation orders may be coming soon. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The county is four months into its third dry water year, which started Sept. 1, with <b>only 22 percent of the normal rainfall</b>. Only one location — the U.S. Forest Service station on Figueroa Mountain — has had more than two inches of rain in that time, according to the county’s Public Works Department. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>Every reservoir is drying up, too,</b> officials say. Lake Cachuma, which provides water to five water districts, was at 40.3-percent capacity as of Jan. 1 and many jurisdictions have started using more state water to supplement supplies. - <a href="http://www.noozhawk.com/article/low_rainfall_could_cause_emergency_water_reductions_20140104">Noozhawk</a></span></blockquote>
