Frank Talk for Seniors

'Safeguarding Elders' conference to be held Wednesday
Our community is so scenic and serene, you might think it's safe as well. But it's foolhardy to imagine that bad things don't happen here, even to people who generally are peaceable and harmless -- that is, the elderly and dependent adults. Yes, even in idyllic Santa Barbara, these gentle souls are preyed on, abused and neglected. More»

    NCAA plays some hardball with UCSB
    Avis Rent A Car didn't quite finish its old advertising jingle. No. 2 not only tries harder, it cries harder, too. It hurts to be a runnerup, and never more so than last weekend for the UCSB softball team. The Gauchos left Cal State Fullerton Saturday with two wins in a three-game series, giving them a 30-24 record and a second-place finish in the Big West Conference. More»

    'Baywatch' with brains heads for Santa Barbara
    Santa Barbara's beaches will be the focus of a new national TV show which starts shooting in the fall. Lion's Gate Television and Glassman Media in Los Angeles are casting for "Life Girls," an hour-long show featuring certified female ocean lifeguards in a prime-time reality-documentary program for Lifetime Television, co-owned by Walt Disney and the Hearst Corporation, and aimed at a primarily female demographic.

    Outrage in Cleaves case
    The outpouring of emotion and grief in the community at the death of Laura Cleaves has been unequaled in recent memory. One thousand mourners attended the memorial service on Thursday for the supervising investigator for the Santa Barbara District Attorney's Office. Mrs. Cleaves earlier had worked for the Santa Barbara Police Department, as well as other law-enforcement agencies in the state. The Rev. More»

    M is for Mommy, which stands for love
    Mother's Day: In the feminista days of my youth (college in the 1960s), I took up the sword of the feminist movement's message that marriage and mothering were yokes of oppression. Fortunately I recovered from that ailment in time to become a wife and mother. Since my "rehab," I have been a fervent supporter of adoption over abortion and mothering over institutionalized day-orphanages. More»

    Beloved cetaceans: Humpback whales' return to area waters follows long absence
    For many, the humpback whale is the most beloved of cetaceans. This is the singing whale of song and legend, the acrobatic whale, the friendly whale, the character. Until fairly recently, however, the humpback was seldom seen in the Santa Barbara Channel. A look at whaling records reveals the most likely cause: During the period 1956 through 1965, 841 humpbacks were killed off California. From 1966 through 1969, however, none was killed -- not because the whalers didn't try, More»

    Indigenous plants save indigenous wildlife
    One look at monkey flowers crowding a road cut, black sage glistening among the chaparral or valley oaks dotting a flat grassland, and the careful observer immediately is struck with a sense of place. The distinctive shapes, colors and fragrances of these and all Central Coast natives demonstrate unerring adaptation to regional conditions, while mirroring the local soil, climat00e and ecological character in countless ways.

    Now go sail the right thing
    Now go do the right thing." The familiar words are once again transmitted to millions of listeners as Dr. Laura Schlessinger flips a switch to turn off the microphone at her Santa Barbara broadcast studio. After a few coordinating words with her administrative staff in Los Angeles, she's out the door at 3:15 on a weekday afternoon. As usual, she heads to Santa Barbara Harbor to meet Ken Kieding for practice and fine-tuning of her sailboat racing skills. Dr. More»
