3. GVB News Tidbits
Winchester Canyon Entry Beautification Project -
Every year, Goleta Valley Beautiful selects one community beautification project to undertake. This year, we responded to requests from Winchester Canyon residents to help beautify the entrance to their area at the northwest corner of Cathedral Oaks and Winchester Canyon. With the help of a $250 City of Goleta Community Projects grant, Project leaders Lauren Gleason and Ingrid Smith contacted over 400 residents of the Winchester Canyon, Winchester Commons and Mountain View subdivisions to determine if they would like to participate and fund a project. Twenty one volunteers showed up at an on-site meeting on June 28 to discuss how to design the area, review site constraints (views, traffic visibility, debris on bikeway, etc.) and learn how to secure regulatory approvals from the City of Goleta. Over $1000 has been raised from 32 supporters so far towards a goal of $2500. If the details of the project can be worked out, this will become a United Way Day of Caring Project to be implemented with over 125 volunteers on September 17.
If you are interested in your neighborhood receiving Goleta Valley Beautiful support for a beautification project, please send us an e-mail and we'll consider it as part of our long term planning for next year.
IVRPD Resolution Honoring Goleta Valley Beautiful -
At their meeting on June 16, the Board of Directors of the Isla Vista Recreation and Park District passed a resolution commending Goleta Valley Beautiful for the 90 trees planted in Isla Vista Parks in conjunction with the University of Santa Barbara's Shoreline Preservation Fund. We appreciate the recognition and look forward to continued cooperation with the District.
Stagecoach Route Sign Map-
Maps are available identifying the route of the old Stagecoach that used to run from Santa Barbara through Goleta Valley and over the pass to Los Olivos. Goleta Valley Beautiful still helps to maintain the 56 signs marking this route. We'll be distributing the maps to local Wells Fargo Bank branches in the near future. You can also view the map of the Stagecoach Route with signs on our website at www.goletavalleybeautiful.org.
Board Member Changes -
We bid adieu to long time President Sam S. Alfano and Board member Marc Bradley this month. A new member elected to the Board in July is Alan Scholl, Facilities Manager at the Santa Barbara Regional Health Authority. Alan grew more interested in the work of GVB after receiving an award for his work at the Goleta Presbyterian Church site earlier this year. Alan is well known for his barbequing skills with the Kiwanis. Welcome aboard, Alan.
There are two vacancies on the Board, so for those of you receiving this newsletter, please consider investing sometime with a great group of people and for a tree-mendous cause. Send us an e-mail for more information.

4th Annual Goleta Valley Heritage Tree and Nursery Tour-
Thirty-four tourgoers, including Goleta Councilmember's Margaret Connell and Cynthia Brock, participated in our tour of Goleta Valley's heritage trees through the generous support of Santa Barbara Airbus. We raised $776 at the event and also raised the awareness of those attending about our wonderful arboreal treasures.Tour guides Jerry Sortomme and Dan Condon provided incisive commentary, and Dan (who left the day after the tour for his new home in Michigan) sang the world premier of "The Goleta Good-Land", sung to the tune of 'This Land is Your Land'
The Goleta Good-Land by Dan Condon
Verse 1 This land is your land, the Goleta Good Land,
From Santa Barbara, to the Ellwood Mesa,
From our mountain foothills, to Pacifics' sea...strand,
This land was made for you and me.
Verse 2 When I go out walking, through the urban forest,
I see all around me, a bountiful harvest,
Of shade and beauty, of arbor history,
A gem for all of us to see.
Verse 3 From Joseph Sexton in eighteen sixties,
On to present day time with the Goleta Vee Bee,
We value all Trees, more than just amenities,
So please help us to better care for trees;
A good Lorax will always speak for trees;
And this good land is here for you and me.
Thanks to Thom Myall and Sam Alfano for organizing the tour, and to the businesses and agencies that allowed us to visit their grounds, including the Witness Tree at the Sizzler Restaurant, Randy Baldwin at San Marcos Growers, the Sexton Gardens at Pacifica Suites, Fairview Gardens, the City of Goleta's Stow Grove Park, the Goleta Valley Historical Society's Stow House Gardens, and the gardens at Bishop Ranch. For those of you who didn't make it, an earlier self-guided version of our Heritage Tree Tour is on our website at www.goletavalleybeautiful.org.
5. Water Kings and Queens. -
If you have a portable tree irrigator (Treegator) installed on your street tree, you must fill it once every two weeks in overcast weather, and once a week in hot sunny weather until the fall when the rains start. Please remove weeds and grass but do not remove mulch at the base of the tree and check that mulch is not touching the bark of the trunk. Please do not use any herbicides such as Round-Up near the base of the tree- the newer varieties are strong enough to kill the tree!. Please report any insect, disease or tree damage problems to GVB at 252-1952. Also let us know if you think you need a Treegator. We'll deliver one at no charge and we'll pick it up in the Fall when it is no longer need for the year. Generally, if your tree has been planted for less than 2 years, or if you do not have an irrigation system in place, you probably need one.

3. GVB News Tidbits
- Winchester Canyon Entry Beautification Project - City staff have favorable reviewed the proposed project at the Northwest corner of Winchester Canyon and Cathedral Oaks Road. Over 90 mostly native, all drought tolerant plants shrubs and trees are proposed in a setting to minimize long term maintenance and provide for view corridors. The Design Review Board Meeting to review the proposed project, originally scheduled for August 2, has been postponed to August 9 at 3 PM at the Goleta Valley Community Center on Hollister Avenue. If you are interested in coming or desire further information, please contact either Project leader Lauren Gleason at 893-2239 or Ingrid Smith at 565-8123. Over $1,300 has been raised from 44 supporters so far towards a goal of $2500, with all monies raised going 100% to this project. A neighborhood rummage sale to raise funds for the project is planned for early September. This is scheduled to be a United Way Day of Caring Project to be implemented with over 125 volunteers on September 17.
- Other Neighborhood Beautification Projects Proposed. - GVB Member Joan Hanna has suggested beautifying the area between Patterson and Kellogg on the mountain side of the road as a GVB 2006 beautification project next year. Any comments on this proposal? If you are interested in your neighborhood receiving Goleta Valley Beautiful support for a beautification project, please send us an e-mail and we'll consider it as part of our long term planning for future years, as we only do one major neighborhood beautification project a year..
- Governor cuts funding for Los Carneros Interchange Landscaping Project - Goleta Valley Beautiful had successfully applied for and was approved for a $37,000 Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Grant to landscape a portion of the Los Carneros Interchange. The Governor cut funds for the entire Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program in the approved State budget, so the project is dead.
- California ReLeaf Awards $7500 2005 Urban Forestry Capacity Grant - GVB is fortunate to once again receive a grant to help support our urban forestry educational and outreach efforts. Part of these funds pay to help keep our members informed through US mail, brochures at GVB activities, educational programs at schools, and this e-mail newsletter.

While we ended the GVB fiscal year in a deficit on July 31, the amount of the deficit has been steadily shrinking due to fundraising during the Annual Banquet, and additional contributions from companies such as BDC and Cox.
