Rest in Peace: Selmer Wake

Many of us honored and mourned the passing of Father Virgil Cordano at a funeral yesterday at the Santa Barbara Mission...and EdHat reports that SBCC Adult Education founder Selmer Wake passed away at 93. It is unfortunate he did not live to see the likely passage of Measure V in the next election. Best to his family during this difficult time.

Measure V gets Support from Chamber and Taxpayers Association

I was surprised to see that Measure V for the June Ballot which provides building and infrastructure support for Santa Barbara City College has the support of the Santa Barbara Taxpayers Association and the Chamber of Commerce. Impressive. I'm glad to see they support education as it makes for a better community, workforce and citizenry. I'm all for it.
