Woods Humane Society has many different feline laptop models available, from the older “re-fur-bished” models to the newest releases who have been on the market for only a couple of months. You can even customize your purchase in just about any color to match your office décor. Standard hardware on all models includes vaccinations, micro-chips, one free diagnostic visit, and the latest security features to prevent any unwanted “litters” in your email box. Purchase a feline laptop at Woods Humane Society anytime in September and we will throw in a free mouse-pad and complimentary CAT version 7.0 users manual!
Woods Humane Society is completely full of adoptable felines and needs to clear out our current inventory in order to make room for more laptops to enter our adoption program, restrictions do not apply to this offer and September’s $60 Laptop Sale is good for any age model.
Stop by the shelter at 875 Oklahoma Avenue in SLO, give us a call at 805-543-9316, or visit us online at www.woodshumane.org.

Join us at The Book Den on 1st Thursday in downtown Santa Barbara as we welcome photographer Najib Joe Hakim. A noted editorial and documentary photographer from the Bay Area, we now show another side of Hakim`s work. Personal, playful, moody, dark and light, these photos seek to capture in inner life of the man behind the lens.
"I seek a new visual language using a hodge-podge of playful techniques, all in-camera, all with common, everyday subjects in an attempt to transform the external world through photographs into an expressionistic metaphor for internal experiences... These sometimes pretty, sometimes dark pictures are depictions of the present as memories in the making, of dreams imperfectly remembered and of emotions exploding through the lens in both directions." - Najib Joe Hakim.

Slam! Santa Barbara Limericks:
An Evening of Performance Poems
1st Thursday, September 3rd at 6pm.
105 E. Anapamu Street, Channing Peake Gallery
County Administration Building, Planning Hearing Room
Santa Barbara.
The Santa Barbara County Arts Commission in collaboration with the current exhibition, The Magical and Curious Realms of Ralph Auf der Heide, 1915-2008, at the Channing Peake Gallery, presents an evening of performance poems. The 1st Thursday reception will begin at 5pm and Slam! Santa Barbara Limericks will be held at 6pm in the Planning Hearing Room in the County Administration Building at. Admission is free; however, seating is limited.
Coordinated by David Starkey, the Poet Laureate of Santa Barbara, this free-wheeling limerick slam will feature some of Santa Barbara’s most adventurous poets: Mary Rose Betten, Chella Courington, Fran Davis, Michelle Detorie, Suzanne Frost, Perie Longo, Sojourner K. Rolle, Barry Spacks, and David Starkey. According to Starkey, “The limerick turns out to be a surprisingly daunting form. Because of its long associations with low comedy and off-color jokes, many poets are hesitant to write limericks. However, the work of Lisl Auf der Heide and the marvelous paintings of her late husband, Ralph, have been an inspiration to those of us writing limericks for this reading. If nothing else, this idea for a ‘limerick slam’ will be a first for each of the fine Santa Barbara poets participating in the event.”

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION -
Madhyamaka is the Sanskrit term for 'middle way', and describes the path between extremes prescribed by the Buddha. It was elegantly systematized into a philosophy of emptiness and a method of reasoning by Nagarjuna in his famous work, Root Verses on the Middle Way. We will explore Nagarjuna's madhyamaka thought together through a close reading of portions of his Root Verses.

Santa Barbara Fiber Arts Guild Monthly Meeting and workshop

Santa Barbara Fiber Arts Guild Monthly Meeting.
9:30 – Social time: refreshments provided by Julie Cohen and Darlene Rabe-Kerr.
10 a.m. – Business meeting.
10:30 a.m. - IKAT Knitting with Ginny Norris.
Ginny Norris was intrigued by the first piece of IKAT cloth she ever saw. When she had a
chance to see IKAT being woven, she thought someone had spilled or sprinkled bleach on the
hanks of blue yarns the weaver was planning to use. After the weaver had woven a few inches
of fabric, Ginny could see that the weaver was producing a piece of cloth that had a lovely
white design on a blue background.
Some weavers dye their own yarns by tie-dying, resist-dying, over-dying, re-dipping a
hank several times, hand-painting each hank or by use commercially prepared Ombre yarns.
The most elaborate pieces use multicolored yarns for either or both warp and weft. However,
the simplest IKAT is woven with a two-colored yarn for the weft only. The weaver tightens or
loosens the weft as needed to keep the color spots in place before completing each throw. It is
this idea — to adjust the color spots in each knitted row before completing the row — that
Ginny uses to control the color spots in her IKAT KNITTING.
She had a big surprise when she started her second Saturday, September 5 — Monthly Guild Meeting
IKAT sweater and she will tell you
about it at Guild when she shows those first two sweaters. She will explain how she designed
the patterns for the tops and she will bring a few other examples of woven IKAT pieces she
owns. Do bring any IKAT pieces you have to add to the show.
Because she had to adjust the color blocks of her yarn when ever she added a new ball
of yarn, she found a good way to join her yarns, so, if time allows, Ginny will show how she
joins the end of one yarn to the beginning of the next yarn so smoothly that she was even able
to use the joined yarn on her knitting machine without difficulty. (Yarn supplied) .
Favorite Knitting Tricks of Ginny Norris 1 to 4 p.m. $10/$15 non-member.
• Two easy and effective yarn joins
• Combined East-West knitting method (see Mary Thomas's Knitting Book, 1938)
Mary claims it is the speediest and most even way to knit and Ginny knits that way
• "To & Fro" knitting: no need to turn your knitting at the end of each row
• Great when color knitting and fisherman's knits
• Three "Chained Seams"; there is no extra yarn needed to do these seams
• Lace-knitters seam: easiest, zigzags leaves holes in the seam; doubled chain, easy) but seam
is bulky like a knit-into-stitch-below stitch; invisible seam, tricky. Ginny is particularly pleased
with her secret, invisible seam she devised while sitting in bed waiting for a cold to end.
TO BRING :
1. WHITE (or off-white) WORSTED, medium (#4) yarn, acrylic or other man-made yarn best
NOT fancy, lumpy or fuzzy
2. Size 8 (5mm) needles, double pointed preferred
3. Size 11 (8mm) or larger
4. Size H crochet hook or similar size latch hook
5. One” (10cm),18 st x 24 rows swatch and three 9 sts x 24 row swatches
NOTE: SLIP the FIRST STITCH of EVERY ROW!
WORKSHOP SIGN-UP – Knitting with Ginny Norris.
Please return with a check for $10 (members)/$15 (non-members) for the workshop to: Ginny Norris,

Sept. 5---THE LOST LETTERS by Paula Carr.
Paula Juelke Carr began her career 35 years ago as a volunteer in the Costume and Textiles Department of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Paula has a Master's degree from UC Santa Barbara and
additional graduate work at the University of Arizona, where she gained experience working with 18th and 19th century Spanish-language manuscripts. Paula is a co-founder and board member of Heritage Shared, and is also a past board member of D.A.N.A. and the San Luis Obispo County Historical Society. Her interest in local architectural history grew enormously during her 8-year term on the City of San Luis Obispo Cultural Heritage Committee. Her talk centers on the recently discovered manuscripts found in and old book on the east coast. These Spanish language documents from Maria Josefa Dana (Jr) to her brother are unique documents describing the life of Californio women and go into detail about droughts and flooding along the central coast in the 1860s.

Book-signing: The Journey of the Italians in America
|
|

Contact: Coalesce Bookstore 772-2880 coalesce@charter.net

About the book and author:
Italians have influenced American life since the beginning of the new Republic. Thomas Jefferson adapted the classic Italian architecture of Andrea Palladio in designing his home and the University of Virginia; discussed agronomy and political philosophy with his neighbor, the Italian-trained physician and merchant Philip Mazzei; signed the Declaration of Independence along with William Paca of Maryland; and invited Italian musicians to form the first marine band in Washington D.C. Subsequently, millions of Italians have immigrated to the United States, bringing with them a distinct set of beliefs, traditions, and customs, which have been preserved and passed down through the generations.
The author takes a photographic approach towards unraveling the history and legacy of Italians and their presence in America. Examining more than four hundred unique photographs of Italian families, settlements, businesses, and celebrities, Scarpaci celebrates the ways in which this ethnic group has influenced many aspects of American life, including arts, agriculture, industry, religion, cuisine, sports, and politics. Beginning in the late 1870s, this work illustrates how the immigrants and their descendants faced the hardships, disappointments, achievements, and successes of this ongoing experience.
With photographs from settings as diverse as a canning factory in Salerno to an Italian family's kitchen garden in Kellogg, Idaho, to Italians living in the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana, The Journey of the Italians in America traces the evolution of the Italian immigrant of the 1800s into today's statesman, scholar, movie star, Supreme Court justice, or businessman. As much a history of Italian influence on America, this work is also a history of American influence on Italians, as Scarpaci makes plain through evaluating the differences among generations of Italian Americans.

Atascadero Elks Lodge #2733 in conjunction with the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce are encouraging area residents and businesses to display the American Flag on Friday, September 11th, 2009, to commemorate the eighth anniversary of one of our country's worst tragedies. The flag display will honor those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends, and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.
On September 11, 2009 members of the Atascadero Elks Lodge and members of the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce will present certificates to area residents and businesses that display the American Flag. The certificates will recognize their participation in the somber recognition of the eighth anniversary of one of our country’s worst tragedies.

Since its inception in 1987 the Atascadero Elks have contributed in excess of $350,000 to various programs including: youth activities, local sports, programs for handicapped and needy children, patriotic programs, veterans programs and many community activities. In addition, the Elks participate in drug awareness programs at our local schools and distribute dictionaries to all 3rd graders in the Area.

Focus on the Environment: Learn to communicate your passion for the natural world through still photography. The Santa Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club is offering a series of monthly workshops led by local professional photographers.
Gary Dwyer’s images often indicate constraints and isolation, and demonstrate the increasing complexity of our relationship with the environment. Gary’s interests are those places where environmental and cultural values have collided visually in “The New Nature”. He will demonstrate how to capture this tension in images containing duality, irony, and re'ection. Gary will also discuss how to see more with your camera when you travel. Cost: $40 (SC $30).
Dwyer has documented World Heritage Sites for UNESCO in Vietnam, and as a resident artist at the American Academy in Rome he photographed Architecture in Danger of Disappearing for the World Monuments Fund.View his work at: www.calpoly.edu/~gdwyer/index.html.

I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Fesitval
|
|

Contact: Randy Dettmer, AIA 805 541 4864 rcdettmer@charter.net
|
| |
|
Local sponsors and artists are invited to participate in San Luis Obispo's I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Festival on September 12 and 13, at the Mission Plaza and on adjacent streets. The Children's Creative Project and the American Institute of Architects Central Coast Chapter will co-present the eighteenth annual event. The Festival organizers encourage local artists and sponsors to come together to make this a memorable event to celebrate the arts and raise funds to support the Children's Creative Project arts education programs for students in San Luis Obispo County schools. Festival organizers are grateful for financial support received from CoastHills Federal Credit Union and Air Vol Block, Inc.
Local artists are invited to help fill the streets with color. More than 200 artists will create street paintings in sponsored pavement "squares" ranging in size from 4-by-6 feet to 12-by-12 feet. They are available for local artists, architects, graphic designers, students, and children to fill these pavement canvases with their own unique inspiration. Businesses, individuals, and organizations are invited to sponsor squares, and in return for their financial support, businesses and other sponsors will be advertised by inscribing their name in the sponsored street painting square. Sponsored squares cost from $75 to $500 depending on the size of the square. The sponsors may select their own artist, or the festival will provide an artist for them to create a street painting for the sponsored square. The festival is not a competition and the purpose is not to produce an image for advertising, but to allow the artist to create an artistic image that may or may not relate to the sponsoring business or individual.
For information on how to register to be a street painting sponsor or apply to be a festival artist, please contact Shelley Triggs at 805 927-1697. Street painting square sponsorships are available on a first come, first served basis. There is no cost for artists to participate, and the festival will furnish the chalk. It is not necessary for artists to find a sponsor to participate. All participating artists must begin on the morning of Saturday, September 12. Artists may choose to create a simple street painting requiring a few hours of drawing on Saturday, or may choose to do a more complicated piece and work for two days. Artists may also want to consider working with one or more partners of any age or experience level.
An Italian tradition since the 16th Century, street painting—using chalk as the medium—is celebrated each year at the International Street Painting Festival held in Grazie di Curtatone, Italy. The Children's Creative Project is pleased to be the first to bring this wonderful art form to North America through the original festival created for Santa Barbara in 1987 by Children's Creative Project Executive Director Kathy Koury. She initiated the San Luis Obispo I Madonnari Festival in 1992. The proceeds fund a $100 Arts Credit offered annually to public schools in the county to help pay for touring artist performance fees. Last school year, more than 20,000 students in 50 county schools experienced more than 200 cultural performances presented by professional touring artists in dance, theater, and music. A roster of local visual and performing artists serve in school residencies and provide on-going workshops in dance, theater, vocal music and visual arts. The Children's Creative Project originated in Santa Barbara in 1974 and is a program of the Santa Barbara County Education Office, William J. Cirone, Superintendent. In 1985, the Project expanded its arts education programs to San Luis Obispo County schools. Funds raised through the San Luis Obispo I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Festival will enhance the current programs and enable the Project to expand its arts programs to new elementary schools in the San Luis Obispo area. Since 1987, the Children's Creative Project has produced the I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Festival at the Santa Barbara Mission. The event has been successful in both attracting 25,000 local and out-of-town visitors and raising approximately $60,000 for arts programs in Santa Barbara County. The Santa Barbara I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Festival is held each year on the Memorial Day weekend in May at the Santa Barbara Mission. Kathy Koury and Lauren Luker, President of the American Institute of Architects C.C.C.C. urge the San Luis Obispo community to support this unique event and are excited and pleased to bring together local artists, children, and sponsors to celebrate color and creativity. For street painting sponsor and artist information contact Shelley Triggs at 805 927-1697. Festival website: www.aiacentralcoast.org

Exhibition: Iron and Plastic: Alternative Photography
Dates: June 8 - Sept 18, 2009 Hours: Mon. – Friday, 8am – 5pm, Free to the Public
Location: Betteravia Government Center, 511 E. Lakeside, Santa Maria
Reception: Thursday, June 11, 2009 from 4-6pm
Iron and Plastic: Alternative Photography
John Hood, Curator
The Santa Barbara County Arts Commission presents, Iron and Plastic: Alternative Photography, an exhibition of regional artists curated by John Hood, Professor of Art, Allan Hancock College, and Arts Commissioner from the 5th District, from June 10 – Sept 18, 2009 at the Betteravia Government Center, 511 E. Lakeside, Santa Maria. The opening reception will be Thursday, June 11th from 4-6pm.
Iron and Plastic: Alternative Photography displays the work of Allan Hancock College Art Professor David Passage and some of his students, all now exhibiting photographers in the Santa Maria community. Lori Bell will show Holga and Dianna toy camera photos, Karen Carson will show plastic Lensbaby color photographs, Collette Crystal will show large Van Dyke prints, Ariana Sarinana will show Van Dyke pinhole photographs and Lynn Andrews and David Passage will show cyanotype images.
When asked why alternative photography methods are important, David Passage, Hancock Professor of Art said, “Our culture is inundated with camera images and photography today is more and more driven by technology. Toy cameras and hand applied emulsions take us back to the simplicity of the lens formed image, to the roots of camera imagery. Photography is, at its most basic, making marks with light. Digital image making has separated the photographer from the photographic process, yet there are still those who need and want to physically engage their materials. They are “hands on” photographers for whom the manipulation of their materials is an integral part of their image making. Iron processes, cyanotype and van dyke, which depend on the light sensitivity of iron salts, ferric ammonium citrate, allow the artist to coat their own material and make their own prints.”
This exhibition is a project of the County Arts in Public Places (CAPP) Committee of the Santa Barbara County Arts Commission with generous funding support provided by the following: Esther Bates, Charles L. Bloom Foundation, Ginny Brush & Mari Bartoli, Teen Conlon, Joan Cyr, Joan Davidson, Phyllis De Picciotto, Jacqueline Dyson, 7 Day Nursery, Mary Heebner, Joanne Holderman, Betty and Bob Klausner, Elaine LeVasseur, Jon and Lillian Lovelace, The Palm Loft Gallery, Frances Puccinelli, Scott Rowland, Rick and Ro Sanders, William Prindle, C.

The Atascadero Art Association will host artist Bobby Nunez, owner of the ARTery in Atascadero on Monday, September 14 at 7:00 pm in the Marin Polin Community Room of the Atascadero Library, 6850 Morro Road. Bobbi's art is highly influenced by what she sees along with what is going on deep inside her mind. She loves to focus on a particularly interesting area of her subject that could include human figures, bicycles, old buildings or anything really. She is inspired by certain color combinations such as the red tulips growing amongst wheat in the countryside of Germany. Bobbi paints with a definite painterly style. Paint is layered up and scraped away to create interesting textures and colors. Bold colors are commonly used to playfully contradict and compliment the subjects of her work. Bobbi commonly paints on gessoed watercolor paper. Of course owning and art supply store allows her the freedom to experiment continuously! For more information you may call 712-9015. The evening is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.

We'll have a Q&A session at 6 PM, when you are welcome to ask our member experts questions regarding your Macintosh, iPod or iPhone.
The main presentation begins shortly at 7 PM:
This month’s presentation is a free showing of the film MacHEADS, the 2009 Fanboy documentary that explores what makes the Mac, the iPhone, and all Apple products in general a cultural phenomena rather than just consumer electronics, and explores the extraordinary loyalty to Apple products by their followers, as well as their obsession with those products.
If that’s not enough, we’ll also have a presentation by our own club members about websites Twitter, Facebook and Myspace, three popular manifestations of Web 2.0. Come and learn about tweeting, tagging, writing on the wall and accumulating more friends than you know what to do with.
As always, we'll have wireless internet access, delicious refreshments, and good company! The public is welcome (bring your PC and Linux friends, too!), but only members may enter the drawing for prizes! Refreshments will be served.

“Not only is Preface a great opportunity for Cal Poly students to prepare for the types of discussions they’ll be encountering all throughout their student years, but it’s also a great opportunity for the public to participate in shared reading and discussion of an award-winning author writing about tough issues,” said SLO Library Manager Kristine Tardiff.

Wednesday, September 9, 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., San Luis Obispo Library

The San Luis Obispo County YMCA will host a free Beach Party and Dinner Party for potential YMCA Guides and Princesses on Friday, September 18 at the playground in Avila Beach. The introductory session will run from 5:30-7:30 pm and will feature a hot dog dinner and informational session.
“YMCA Guides and Princesses is a parent-child program designed to help foster a lifetime of understanding and companionship and to strengthen the relationship between children and parents,” notes Katie Allison, director of the YMCA Guides and Princesses Programs. The YMCA Guides is for fathers or other significant adults in children’s lives, and their children ages 5-9. Adults and children attend all the program activities together.
Allison adds that as YMCA Guides and Princesses, parents and kids explore adventures of fun, learning and mutual understanding. “The immediate gain is evident,” Allison remarked. “Spending time together with your child, early, develops significant long term gains. The effect is building a solid foundation for a lifetime of friendship between parent and child in the YMCA setting.”
If the day brings rain, the event will be relocated to the YMCA Facility at 1020 Southwood Dr, San Luis Obispo.
The Beach Party is the opening event of the 2009-2010 year. The entire family is welcome. For more information about the YMCA Guides and Princesses program and other YMCA activities in a community nearby and the YMCA’s efforts to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities in San Luis Obispo County, visit www.sloymca.org or call the Y’s administrative office at 543-8235.

The Red Barn Community Music Series will present moira smiley & VOCO on Friday September 18 at St. Benedict's Episcopal Church in Los Osos. This special Friday evening performance will showcase sweet, hard-driving Americana, crooked Eastern European songs, and stomping percussive movement. Recently featured in the legendary Dirty Linen Magazine, twice featured nationally on NPR, and voted number one a cappella band in the U.S. in 2007, VOCO embodies the energy of street singing and the elegance of a string quartet. These four ladies combine ethereal and gritty four-part vocal harmony with a vaudevillian mix of cello, accordion and banjo. Together they create original improvisation-built songs steeped in Appalachia and Eastern Europe. VOCO has been called "a truly phenomenal act" by Folkworks Magazine, and "fascinating and multilingual" by the LA Times. "Their body percussion sets are a sight to behold!" Stuart Mason will open the show with his trademark blend of oldternative bluegrass and traditional Celtic music. The Red Barn Community Music Series is a monthly concert series showcasing local, regional, and national musicians performing old time, bluegrass, swing, Celtic, blues, and other forms of acoustic roots music. St. Benedict's Episcopal Church is located at 2220 Snowy Egret Lane in Los Osos. Snowy Egret Lane is off Clark Valley Rd near the corner of Clark Valley and Los Osos Valley Rd. The church can easily be seen from Los Osos Valley Rd, opposite the Los Osos Cemetery and Memorial Gardens. The show begins at 7:00 PM with pot luck supper and pot luck band starting at 6 PM. No tickets are required but admission will be $10 at the door. BYOB and a dish to share for the pot luck supper.

|
September 19, 2009 8AM-5PM Retreat at Camp Ocean Pines, Cambria. James, renowned Peace Troubadour, musician, author and filmmaker, will spend Saturday, September 19 leading a retreat on the subject of The Kabbalah Code. The Circle of Spiritual Enlightenment presents the event with James Twyman.
September 20, 2009 10AM Service and music at The Circle of Spiritual Enlightenment, 1500 Lizzie St., Rm J-2; San Luis Obispo.
Kabbalah is the study of the physical and spiritual universe. The teachings of The Kabbalah Code will impact your life in a profound way.
· Dissolve stress, worry and financial woes.
· Create TRUE happiness.
· Find your true passion and live it everyday.
James' last two books, The Moses Code and The Kabbalah Code, describe a transformative system that changed the world 3500 years ago, establishing the foundation of The Law of Attraction. In this workshop you'll learn how to use the same powerful tools to create a world based upon the highest longing of your soul, then extend that into healing humanity and the world. Rather than creating from the level of "ego" or "what can I get", Soul Manifestation asks the question, "How may I best serve and give myself to the transformation of the ALL". This course will not only transform your life, but will help you have a dramatic impact on the world.
Ticket Info: $75 (includes lunch).
For more information, contact The Circle of Spiritual Enlightenment; 1500 Lizzie St., Rm J-2; San Luis Obispo. Ca., www.spiritualcircle.org 805.541.1963.

25th Anniversary Costal Cleanup Day
|
|
| |
|
Contact: Whitney 925- 389 1277 ccd.ecoslo@gmail.com
|
| |
|
The Environmental Center of San Luis Obispo County (ECOSLO) is proud to announce the 25th Anniversary of California Coastal Cleanup Day will be held on Saturday, September 19th, 2009 from 9 a.m. to Noon at twenty-four beaches throughout the county.
The purpose of Coastal Cleanup Day is to remove marine debris from the state’s beaches and waterways, identify its sources and change behavior that causes pollution. The event has grown to become International Coastal Cleanup Day, the largest volunteer event of its kind in the state. Last year, 390,881 volunteers removed almost seven million pounds of trash from 17,000 linear miles of coastline around the globe. In San Luis Obispo County last year, 1,290 volunteers picked up 4,611 pounds marine debris. California Coastal Cleanup Day volunteers account for 19% of the world totals with 390,881 participants in 2008.
Supported by the California Coastal Commission, ECOSLO coordinates Coastal Cleanup Day in San Luis Obispo County. Because the beach is such an important part of San Luis Obispo County and ECOSLO feels that it must be preserved. Marine debris not only destroys our oceans and beaches, but also our creeks, streams and other waterways.
Please come out and Volunteer!
For a list of sites and directions, check out our website:www.ecoslo.org.
Please feel free to recruit friends, family members and co-workers for the cleanup! Make sure to bring sunscreen, a hat, and shoes.
When you check in at the cleanup location, you will be given trash bags, pencils, and a special data card to tally the items you collect. You will also be required to sign a liability waiver form. If you are under the age of 18, you will need to get a parent or guardian to sign a waiver form before participating.
If you would like more information about how you can get involved, please contact us at (805) 544-1777 or ccd.ecoslo@gmail.com

Students and parents of the Waldorf School of Santa Barbara join together to serve the Santa Barbara community and their school for the 18th Annual “Day of Caring” on September 19, 2009.
Sixth, seventh and eighth grade students and parents of the non-profit Waldorf School of Santa Barbara team up to work alongside community volunteers for the United Way of Santa Barbara County’s 2009 Day of Caring, the largest single-day volunteer event in the Tri-County. Chosen as a work site for the 18th Annual Day of Caring, the Waldorf School gears up to welcome volunteers to paint, repair and reorganize the outdoor areas of the school to optimize the children’s play space on Saturday, September 19th, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The fourth and fifth grade students will volunteer in the greater community by cleaning up Goleta Beach with the California Coastal Cleanup organization, another Day of Caring work site. School administrator, Joni McGoldrick, says, “This is a wonderful way to model the global citizenship that is at the heart of our school’s philosophy and we are thrilled to welcome in community volunteers to share in our school spirit. The Day of Caring slogan ‘Lend a hand, build a community’ is what we are all about.”
Day of Caring is a community-focused project where volunteers work at over 50 local charitable organizations. They perform a variety of projects such as beautifying facilities, sorting contributed merchandise and completing office work. Volunteers come from corporations, charitable organizations, youth clubs, schools, families, and friends. They help charities complete projects they would not otherwise be able to complete due to lack of resources. This year, United Way is placing a special emphasis on youth volunteering for Day of Caring.

Crude Impact, an award-winning documentary film dealing with the effect of fossil fuels on global warming, will be shown on Saturday, September 19th, 7 PM, at 635 Nicklaus Drive in Paso Robles. Donations are gratefully accepted.
The film was written and directed by James Jandak Wood. It deals with the effect of fossil fuels on issues such as global warming, society, the environmental crisis, and the questionable practices of oil companies.
Crude Impact has been an official selection at over thirty film festivals around the world and was awarded the Best Environmental Feature Film at the 3rd Annual Artivist Film Festival in Los Angeles. The film enjoyed a limited theatrical release in the United States and Canada and has been broadcast on television around the world.
The event is sponsored by Transition Towns, Paso Robles, which is part of the Transition movement that began in England . There are now 170 Communities who are officially Transition Towns, and many more who embrace its principles (such as Smart Cities, a Sierra Club initiative). Their primary purpose is to meet the three toughest challenges of our times: peak oil; economic instability; and climate change by rebuilding community resilience and self-reliance. Information can be found at www.transitionpasorobles.com,and www.transitioncalifornia.org.
There will be a group discussion after the film. People who are active in Transition Towns will briefly describe its purpose and how the local group is beginning to address the issues raised in the film.

“Working with the Emotions”
withDharma Teacher Bart Mendel
September 20, 10 am to noon
Disturbing emotional states such as attachment, aggression, ignorance, pride and jealousy create confusion for ourselves and others. From a Buddhist point of view, emotions can be transformed into the wisdom energy of the enlightened mind. This course will explore how to work with emotions in meditation and in our daily lives.
Bart Mendel has been a Buddhist practitioner and teacher for over 30 years and has taught the Dharma extensively throughout the US , Canada and Europe . From years of mixing the dharma with an endless stampede of worldly challenges, Bart’s teaching style has evolved into a natural blend of eloquence, insightfulness and humor. In 1997, he accepted an invitation with his wife Suzan Garner to open a Bodhi Path Buddhist Center in Santa Barbara where he served as Resident Teacher for over ten years. Bart and Suzan oversee a number of major dharma projects, including serving as Directors for Siddhartha Foundation International.

The performance takes place on Wednesday, September 23, 2009 in the Alex and Faye Spanos Theatre (on the Cal Poly campus) at 7:00 p.m. The performance is free, open to the public and no tickets are required.
The New York City-based theater company will be presenting a professionally-staged verbatim theatrical adaptation of the novel that includes a 15-minute pre-show interactive discussion, a one-hour performance and a 15-minute post-show interactive discussion. The performance is suitable for persons aged 15 and older.
The PREFACE & SLO County Reads Program is a collaborative effort between Cal Poly and the San Luis Obispo County Libraries. The program encourages county residents to read a book selection each year, and then participate in discussions which are taking place throughout September at various county public libraries. New Cal Poly students have been asked to read the same book over the summer, and then discuss it as a common intellectual experience during fall orientation.

To learn about Help First and to let us know what our community needs, please join us at a forum for individuals and families seeking information on Mental Health Services on
Wednesday, September 23, 7 - 9 pm at the
Bronfman Family Jewish Community Center
524 Chapala St., Santa Barbara. 805.957.1116, info@sbjf.org.
Community mental health needs are on the rise, while resources are decreasing. Families are adrift as services are eliminated during these challenging times, impacting the disenfranchised, elderly, children and families who struggle to manage during the current economic crisis.
When others are cutting back on mental health services, two local agencies are offering more.
Sanctuary Psychiatric Centers of Santa Barbara and Jewish Family Service of Greater Santa Barbara are pleased to announce a jointly hosted mental health program accessible to all. Help First adds a new dimension to what is already provided by both agencies by helping those who might otherwise be unable to afford these services.
New programs and services offered:
* No-fee, state-of-the-art group, family, adolescent, and couples therapy provided by trained professionals.
* Responding to the underserved of all ages and backgrounds, with emotional, psychological and spiritual help, provided by trained professionals.

Presented by Square Peg Concerts.
Emmy award winning Chicago native, Kathy Griffin, a multi-faceted performer with a rapid fire wit, is probably best known for her four-year stint on the NBC sitcom "Suddenly Susan" as Vickie Groener, Brooke Shields' acerbic colleague.
After moving west and joining the famed Los Angeles Groundlings comedy improvisational troupe, Kathy began building her resume with guest starring roles on such series as "ER" and "Seinfeld" where she created recurring character Sally Weaver.
After her various TV guest spots, Kathy began gaining notice as a stand-up comedienne and landed her own "HBO Half Hour Comedy Special". In 1998, HBO gave Kathy her own One-Hour Special, "A Hot Cup of Talk".
Kathy has supplied voices for characters on the animated series "Dilbert" and "The Simpsons", and she appeared in a dual role on the "X-Files" as well as in Eminem's video, "The Real Slim Shady", which was co-directed by Dr. Dre.
Kathy has co-hosted The Billboard Music Awards three years in a row; and appeared on numerous talk shows including "Late Night with David Letterman", "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", "Howard Stern" and "The View", as well as having been featured in the films "It's Pat" and "Four Rooms" among others.
Kathy has a great passion for reality TV. She participated in, and won "Celebrity Mole" on ABC, and then hosted the NBC reality series "Average Joe" as well as the MTV series, "Kathy's So-Called Reality".
Kathy has yearly performed a set of four very successful stand-up specials for Bravo. The first in 2005 called "Kathy Griffin...Is Not Nicole Kidman", the second in May of 2006 called "Strong Black Woman". Kathy's third DVD stand-up special "Allegedly" is in stores now. Her newest entry "Everybody Can Suck It" will be aired in the summer of 2007.
In August 2005 Kathy's reality show, "Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List", debuted on Bravo to rave reviews. It has run for three seasons, the latest of which was broadcast during the summer of 2007 by Bravo.
Emmy Wins: The first three seasons of "My Life On The D-List" were each nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Reality Program. Seasons three and four won that prize back-to-back in September of 2007 and 2008.

It’s time to register for YMCA Youth Roller Hockey being offered in San Luis Obispo from September 24th through December 3rd, 2009. This league is targeted to children and youth, ages 5 through 17, and will give your child a healthy workout in as little as one hour. Targeted to all skill levels, including beginners, the Roller Hockey program was developed to offer children an alternative sport that provides great body conditioning without the “down time” seen in other sports such as baseball.
An introductory clinic and equipment swap meet will be held at Santa Rosa Park in San Luis Obispo on Saturday, September 20th, from 11:00 am to noon. The clinic is free and is a great way for those who may be interested to learn more about the sport.
Registration is also underway for Adult Roller Hockey. The season begins September 23rd and runs through December 2nd, and games will be played at Santa Rosa Park. Participants must be 18 years or older, or 17 with parental permission. There will be a mandatory captains meeting Tuesday, September 21st at 7:00 pm at the SLO County YMCA Fitness Facility.
The Roller Hockey program strives to encourage skill development, self-confidence, and positive peer interaction. It also provides a unique opportunity for parents to share quality time with their children and have fun doing it! Fee for the season is $75.00 for the youth league, and $65 for the adult league. There may be an additional $20 per person or $35 per family annual program membership fee if not already paid for the year.
Register for either program before September 15th at the SLO County YMCA Fitness Facility and save on your early registration fee. Visit www.sloymca.org for registration forms and more information, or contact Noah Tolliver, (543-8235 ext. 128) or ntolliver@sloymca.org.

Michael Gulezian is one of the most highly acclaimed solo acoustic instrumental guitarists of our time. He is a phenomenal technical guitarist with the rare ability to transcend his own virtuosity, creating music that touches and moves people at the deepest level.
Tim Pacheco's music is his own. Of course you can hear his musical influences (as you can in all of us), but this is mature work in which Tim's voice has emerged very clearly. I also believe him as an artist. His music evokes deep, basic, clear emotion.... in short, it's true. Tim is a fine, disciplined player, but not a slave to technique.
Whether it was chanting in caves or beating on drums, music has always been about giving voice to the human soul. If we loose sight of the primal communication that is the language of music we've missed the point. Tim has not missed the point."

City Nights Jazz presents Julie Kelly, performing with the Mike Raynor Group at the Inn at Morro Bay on Friday, 9/25 from 7:00pm - 10:00pm. Visit http://www.CityNightsJazz.com for more details.
More about Julie Kelly:
Born in Oakland, California, Kelly grew up absorbing herself in gospel, blues and jazz in addition to pop and classical music. "When I was 13," she remembers, "I was listening to Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, as well as Dave Brubeck, and those wonderful albums with Miles Davis and Gil Evans. It wasn't long before I was sneaking into clubs in Oakland in order to hear people like Earl "Fatha" Hines." She added: "The blues is what guides me, and the great ones have shown the way."
The year of 1971 Kelly spent in Brazil, and that had a profound effect on her musical development. During that period, she spent valuable time in Rio de Janeiro performing with the notable musicians Carlos Lyra and Luis Eca and meeting young, emerging artists like Milton Nascimento.
Returning to the United States, she enrolled at the Juliiard School of Music in New York. Here she studied composition and music theory. But, as she well-described it: "I soaked up everything I could in New York. Chick Corea had formed Return to Forever, so there was a modern movement going on in jazz.
During her years in Los Angeles she has worked with such luminaries as Benny Green, Nat Adderley, Ray Brown, John Clayton, Ross Tompkins, Bobby Ojeda, Gary Foster, and Alan Broadbent. Julie can be found in Leonard Feather's Encyclopedia of Jazz.

Central Coast Salmon Enhancement’s Harvest Hoedown is slated for Saturday, Sept. 26, so order your tickets now for an evening of great food, live music and fun for all ages.
The nonprofit fisheries enhancement organization is celebrating its 26th anniversary and, despite a nearly complete shut-down of salmon fishing along California’s coastline, Salmon Enhancement has many reasons to celebrate.
As a nonprofit fisheries enhancement group, Salmon Enhancement’s work has simply expanded and the need for it grows more apparent each year. Watershed Management Plans written by Salmon Enhancement are expanding into other counties as the group’s on-the-ground environmental improvement work is recognized and applauded by a wide range of groups.
Central Coast Salmon Enhancement’s 26-year anniversary celebration will be held in Arroyo Grande at the South County Regional Center, 800 W. Branch St. The doors open at 5 p.m. and early-birds get first bids on spectacular silent auction items. Enjoy delicious appetizers and a no-host bar with the familiar easy-listening sounds of Local Vocals.
As a nonprofit organization, Salmon Enhancement relies heavily on its volunteers for its continued success. The hard work and dedication of one of these volunteers is acknowledged each year with the presentation of the Henry Terry Golden Lure Award.
Phoenix Fine Catering will provide a scrumptious dinner featuring flat iron steak and mushroom lasagna at 6:30.
Generous and creative donations make both the live and silent auctions ones you won’t want to miss. From a rare tour of the OceanRose Abalone Farm to a 4-person weeklong stay at a fabulous Cambria vacation rental, this year’s auctions have something for everyone.
Purchase tickets online or get more information about Central Coast Salmon Enhancement at www.centralcoastsalmon.com, or by calling (805) 473-8221. Individual tickets can be purchased for $35, $250 for table of 8 or become a member for $200 & get 2 tickets!

Smoke Signals, Free Screening

The Cal Poly PREFACE / SLO County Reads Program in partnership with San Luis Obispo County Public Libraries and the Asset Development Network of San Luis Obispo County will be offering a free showing of the movie Smoke Signals on Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. in the Community Room at the San Luis Obispo Library, 995 Palm Street.
The screenplay for Smoke Signals was written by Sherman Alexie, whose book Flight is the program’s book selection for 2009. Alexie also wrote The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, the teen book selection for this year’s program.
Smoke Signals is the funny and poignant story about three friends on a road trip to bring home to the reservation the ashes of one of their fathers. Shot on location at the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation in Plummer, Idaho, this movie challenges and mocks stereotypes of contemporary Native Americans and highlights the extremes of living on the “Rez”. The film is rated PG13 for some profanity & violence.
No reservations are required to attend. For more information, call (805) 781-5783 or visit www.slolibrary.org.

SLOfolks Presents Wake the Dead

|
| |
|
When eight top Bay area musicians realized they shared as deep a love for the songs of the Grateful Dead as they did for traditional Celtic tunes, some brand-new music sprang up and started partying. One of the eight is singer, fiddler and fretman Danny Carnahan, a SLOfolks favorite from decades ago and a two-time"Indie" award winner whose original Irish-tinged songs are popular worldwide. WAKE THE DEAD is a romp that flows seamlessly from rock grooves to hot Irish reels, and from haunting airs to achingly beautiful melodies familiar to Deadheads everywhere. “Sugaree” in waltz time, bracketed by an ancient harp tune and infused with a poignant Celtic longing. “Bertha” thundering out of “China Cat” on a mandolin tidal wave. The eerie lilt of the uilleann pipes, giving a glow to “Bird Song” as if it was always meant to be there. Groove jams to keep the tie-dye swirling. Vocal harmonies that float like clouds.
Tickets at $22 can be purchased at Castoro Cellars, Hwy 46w and Bethel Rd. 805-238-0725.
Catered Dinner will be served at 6 pm by Bon Temps Creole Café (at an extra charge).

Please join us for an annual special service honoring our ancestors. This day supports us in connecting with the eternal, and in realizing our place in the stream of time. Through music, readings and an inspirational message, we look with our hearts as well as our minds to see our family heritage as a blessing. With powerful ritual, we call forth and claim the gifts that have been passed on to us through the generations and let go of what no longer serves the highest good.
This year our sacred celebration falls at the time of the autumnal equinox and Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement. If you would like, you may bring a small photograph of an ancestor to place on our altar.

Franciscan Missions Celebration Begins in San Luis Obispo.
This month Rev. Richard Garcia will celebrate a nine-day series of liturgical events commemorating the 800th anniversary of the founding of the Franciscan Order. The celebrations throughout the Central Coast also remember the work of Blessed Junipero Serra, the Franciscan founder of the Alta California Missions, including Old Mission San Luis Obispo in 1772. This year marks the 225th anniversary of Fr. Serra’s death at Mission San Carlos Borromeo in Carmel.
Rev. Garcia will celebrate the 11:00 a.m. Mass at Old Mission on Sunday September 27. The Mass coincides with the parish Founders’ Day Event and will include free docent tours of the Church and Bell Tower, period craft demonstrations of candle and basket making, wool, dye, and yarn weaving, and adobe brick making between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.. All events are free and the community is invited.
In conjunction with the California legacy of St. Francis of Assisi, Fr John Vaughn OFM will present a free talk on the present cause for Fr. Junipero Serra’s sainthood on Saturday September 26 at 7:00 p.m. in the Old Mission Parish Hall. Fr. Serra was declared Blessed by Pope John Paul II in 1988. The cause for his sainthood is rooted in his work of establishing the California Missions along the Central Coast and Salinas Valley.

Since 1971, SLOCDC has been dedicated to breaking the cycle of child abuse in our community by providing a network of prevention, intervention, and treatment services to protect children and heal, support, and strengthen families. Since 2005, our scope of services has broadened to include referrals to families at risk of potential abuse and neglect, as well as those who have suffered trauma, domestic violence, mental illness, substance abuse and/or exposure, extreme poverty, and other circumstances which pose a risk to the strength and unity of the families in our community. Beginning in 2008, SLOCDC became a parent participation program, knowing that long-lasting family support begins with supporting parents. The services at SLOCDC range from child development and after-school programs to child and family therapy and case management services.
For additional information about SLOCDC’s First Annual Family Funday Sunday or any of the programs offered at San Luis Obispo Child Development Center, please contact Terri Kurczewski or visit www.slocdc.org. SLOCDC is open Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 5:30pm.

Reflections and Projections: 20 Years of the Individual Artist Awards.
The Arts Fund, in collaboration with The Santa Barbara County Arts Commission presents an exhibition, Reflections and Projections: 20 Years of the Individual Artist Awards, featuring new works by over 30 visual artists who have won The Arts Fund's prestigious Individual Artist Award (IAA). The IAA was created to recognize and reward artistic excellence in Santa Barbara County, and artist Channing Peake was one of the program's most passionate early supporters. Over 128 artists in the visual, performing and literary arts have received IAAs, which include a cash award and exhibition and performing opportunities in Santa Barbara. For a list of participating artists and all of The Arts Fund's IAA winners, please visit www.artsfundsb.org.
Curated by Anette G. Kubitza, Ph.D. Reflections and Projections presents an exciting opportunity to see diverse range of creative talent nurtured in Santa Barbara County over the last 20 years. Kubitza says, “I feel fortunate to have been chosen to curate this retrospective. It is very exciting to meet this select group of artists and see the show come together with some very recent works - fresh from the framer, off the printing press, out of the kiln. The show will feature quite a variety of media, including: painting, print, sculpture, photography, and anything in between, while individual styles range from hyper-realism to entirely abstract.”
According to Nina Dunbar, the executive director of The Arts Fund, “For 20 years The Arts Fund has championed the importance of supporting local artists in our community. This exhibition presents a unique opportunity to review the collective impact that many of these artists had in influencing the aesthetic identity of Santa Barbara and beyond.” The exhibition coincides with the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Arts Commission’s Channing Peake Gallery. It’s only fitting that The Arts Fund shares this anniversary celebration; Channing Peake was an early proponent of supporting emerging artists and would be proud of the legacy The Arts Fund has created in our community.

British duo Boyd & Wain play SLO

When California country singer Katy Boyd met Irish fiddler Benny Wain, they found the musical combination to be "a little bit different and really good fun." Together Boyd & Wain are gaining critical notice, winning awards, recording their first duo CD, playing festivals and folk clubs in England, and now touring across the U.S.
They will be the featured act on two songwriter showcases locally: Tuesday, Sept. 29 at the Clubhouse in San Luis Obispo, and Wednesday Sept. 30 at the Pour House in Paso Robles.
Boyd is an American who began writing songs at age 12, and played coffeehouse gigs by age 15. She won a major songwriting contest in California, made some records, and was lured to England by a chance to record for Virgin Records. That didn't work out, but she stayed in England, wrote songs for other artists, and worked as a filmmaker.
After years away from performing music, Boyd began playing percussion with Irish musicians, and met Benny Wain, who started playing fiddle with his family’s folk band "The Sydling Stompers" at a very early age. He has played many of the top U.K. folk festivals and shared stages with the Oyster Band, Shane McGowan and the Popes, the Dubliners and Davey Arthur.
For more about Boyd & Wain: http://www.boydandwain.co.uk
Songwriter showcases are held every Tuesday 6:30-9:30pm at the Clubhouse, 740 W. Foothill Blvd., SLO. The featured act plays a 45-minute set in the middle of the show, and up to 8 guest performers play 3 songs each before and after the feature.
There is no cover charge, although a tip bucket is passed for the featured act. All ages are welcome. Call the Clubhouse at 805-548-8500, or go to www.clubhousereport.com.

Dear Community,
Join us for the next Be The Change Circle potluck social, educational presentation and community sharing event Wednesday evening September 30, as we welcome Dr. Gloria Willingham, beautiful world soul and Assoc. Dean - School of Educational Leadership & Change, Fielding Graduate Institute, Santa Barbara.
Awakening the Dreamer Facilitators host this monthly gathering of local progressives and organizations who are working to make the Santa Barbara community socially just, environmentally sustainable and spiritually fulfilled.
Dr. Gloria Willingham is a global citizen and educator with roots deep in communities and educational institutions all over the world. She is a social activist of the finest sort - through leading edge education, through the heart, through personal presence and friendliness. See her as Fulbright Grant Receipient - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCMp9fgMYgg. See her as educational ambassador in various countires of the world http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeWMHwgT-L4.
The challenge is to widen the circle of persons and experiences to inform the dream of what is and what can be. Changing the dream is indeed changing what we see… and perhaps for too long we have envisioned too little as it relates to social justice. It is my hope that as time goes on the group will widen its exposure to social justice issues through many lens and begin to also “awaken the dreams” in that regard… Gloria Willingham.
