Jade Bradbury-Page 1 Interest, education and/or experience as they pertain to the Arts Commission I have received fonnal training in the visual arts from childhood to the present. (Please
see enclosed tear sheet) As an exchange student to France during my junior year in high school, I was fortunate to receive an additional scholarship to study painting throughout my one-year
tenure there. My undergraduate college degrees include a double major in English and Education with a strong minor in Art, all of which served me well during my years of teaching high
school juniors and seniors. I especially enjoyed teaching art with parallel referencing to art and social history, and of course, I taught English with a similar approach. This might
have been called "Humanities" had the schools in Georgia and W!l$.hington where I taught at that time been of a mind to incorporate that approach in their stated curriculums. A decade
later, my ten-year engagement with the arts in Los Angeles presented me with a multitude of opportunities to hone my knowledge of and appreciation for the arts, as well as to expand
my personal expression of the same. I worked as everything from artist agent to script-reader to set designer to writer/story editor in the company tOM} known as Hollywood-in television,
movies and documentary films. The culminating work I did for the Calendar (Arts & Entertainment) section of the Los Angeles Times as a reporter/reviewer is still one of my happiest accomplishments.
In much more recent times-especially over the past ten years--I've upgraded my artist skills and put myself at risk (in the good artist way) by entering call-for-artist exhibitions,
competitions, monotype marathons, auction donations, gallery and museum showings, Open Studios, etc. I've served as an assistant to the Art in the Council Chambers series and on one
major public art commission under Anne Lamborn, these latter because I strongly believe that art as an expression of community is vital. My participation in the first stage ofthe Gateway
Project Design with the Town was an extremely positive experience, from which I gained a greater appreciation for what can be achieved through what might be called cooperative aesthetics.
My current employment as history curator with the Museums of Los Gatos is a part-time position and one which provides an excellent ongoing opportunity to demonstrate some working precepts
I hold dear: that art is history; that history is a precious community commodity; that the community deserves to have it's character and history presented artfully and with the preservation
of its arts, past and present.
Jade Bradbury-Page 2 Contribution toward the effectiveness of the Arts Commission The broad range ofmy education and experience in the arts might well lend itself to the commitment 1believe
an Art Commissioner brings to this appointed position, but maybe more importantly I'm applying for it because of my deeply-rooted connection to this community and its culture. 1think
that my capacity for research, analysis, and dedication to stated project goals throvgh cooperative decision-making might also be to the Arts Commission. I have learned to work
well with teams--as a team member as well as in leadership roles-through community service (Soroptimists, Los Gatos Chamber of Commerce, KCAT production, History Club of Los Gatos, History
Committee at History Museum of Los Gatos) and through the artist affiliations which have been a mainstay in the process of promoting the arts in general (South Bay Chapter ofthe Women's
Caucus for Art, Bay Area Book Artists, The Main Gallery). In other words, I do not subscribe to the notion of self-promotion without having established some viable connection to the
cultural community in which the art is created. I would be proud to serve as an Arts Commissioner, should 1be selected.
JADE BRADBURY Printmaking Jade Bradbury works as a printmaker, designer and book artist. She studied art at Washington State University, Cornish College of the Arts (Seattle) and in
Nice, France, and has received additional training in workshops/classes over three decades. Her work experiences as an arts educator, curator, reviewer, juror and exhibit designer/"installer,
as well as assisting on two public arts projects, have also been integral to her expressive range as a visual artist. Her artwork has been widely shown in West Coast museums, galleries
and non-traditional sites and is included in private collections. Jade is employed as a curator at the Museums of Los Gatos. A contributing member of the LGMA Dream Team of profess1()nals
who designed and executed the new art gallery at the Art Museum of Los Gatos (2002), she is currently one of a select group of designers appointed by the Town of Los Gatos to the Gateways
Design Group Project. "The allure of transferring an image from one surface to another is an acquired taste. Printmaking -especially the monotypes I enjoy most -is a sensual engagement
with ink and surfaces. Not the least of its enchantment is the requirement upon the artist to discover and execute the final image through a series of reversals." Jade's work can also
be seen at The Main Gallery in Redwood City: 1018'Main Street, Redwood City, CA 94063 650-323-1800 She can be contacted at the Alameda Art Works 1068 The Alameda, San Jose, CA 95126

Arthur Stockett lay dying in a San Francisco hospital, he urged his daughter to safeguard his beloved collection of memorabilia at his Palo Alto home. "It was a myriad of things from
the ultimate collector," says Jasmine Stockett, 41, of her fIrst look at the collection. "For a long time, he'd been dealing with alcoholism, manic depression and living on the streets."
After his death at 58 from cirrhosis two years ago, she discovered the rare treasures in his collection -nevet-before-shown photos, letters, original art, signed books and other items
from the Beat Generation. Art Stockett-nicknamed the Colonel -was friends with Neal Cassady, immortalized as Dean ,Moriarty in Jack Kerouac's "On the Road." He also knew Keroua.c, poet
Allen Ginsberg and painter-poet-publisher Lawrence FerIinghetti, co-founder of City Lights bookstore in San Francisco's North Beach. The from the

Lynn Rogers was 16 when she met Cassady and Kesey in Manzillo, Mexico. "It was a pivotal time for young people to pick up and go and absorb other things, other cultures," says Rogers,
author of "Bom in Berkeley." "The Beats' individuality, creativeness and playfulness inspired us to break away from the COnIormity and sameness ofour culture." The exhibit, she says.
is "a chance tor people tired of the materialism of our time to meet torchbearers who dared to risk and question prevailing values." Motion and discovery Much has been \VTItten about
this time and its people whom curator Bmdbury calls "the postwar seekers offresh expression" in her statement about the show. "Their ravenous poetics exalted the concrete highways that
connected and intersected the country by midcentury," Bradbury writes. "They discovered, lauded and romanticized cultural diversity, exotic and gritty locales and life on the road and
rails. They stayed in motion so as not to stagnate." But Art Stockett himself remains an enigmatic figure to the museum visitor -and even to his daughter, whose parents divorced during
her childhood. Posted in the exhibit is Jasmine Stockett's memory ofhim: "Difficult, odd and brilliant, he was an elusive parent. I can still see him walking up Columbus Avenue with
a blackfelt cowboy hat ... a carry-on size piece ofluggage in one hand and an open book in the other.... Through this exhibit, I have been able to reconstruct the father I never really
knew." Who was the Colonel? According to friend Curtis Biggs, Art Stockett was a contradiction. An engineer by trade, but a book dealer-collector by heart. A charismatic loner. And a
grouch capable of tremendous kindness. "People liked him, but they kept their distance," says Biggs, who worked \-vith him in the early '70s in electronics
in Santa Clara "He \-vas a very difficult person who reminded me ofLenny Bruce's personality. A total maverick. He wouldn't conform to anything." Caring character And yet, Biggs recalls,
Art Stockett would often take up a collection for the company'sjanitor, who had several kids. "Art was caring to the down-and-out And he'd strike up a conversation \Vith people at the
next table at Enrico's in San Francisco and be very channing. "People would say he was a dnmk. I'd say, yes. but there was another part of Art. He was into books. fun. drinking and living.
His house had all these little rooms like cubbvholes filled with books and papers. He took me to J. poetry reading in San Francisco and I found out who the peupk vvere he rubbed shOLuders
\Vith." Biggs last saw Stockett in 1996. long after he'd felt forced to fire him. "He got to be very difficult because ofhis drinking. But we were friends and we went to basketball games
and played cards after that Then he spiraled downhill with the alcoholism and heavy smoking." They eventually lost touch. The exhibit of his old friend's collection is unique, Biggs
says. "Someone once said Art had an eye for what was valuable." Brand-New Beats Roadshow Where: Art Museum of Los Gatos, 4 Tait Ave., Los Gatos. When: Noon-4 p.m., Wednesday through

ByMyNgo When Joann and Leon Milburn moved to Los Gatos from their quaint New Mexico hometown more than 40 years ago, they had no idea they would be regarded as heroes among their fdlow
residents. Even more so, they did not expect to be the stars at the annual Seniors of Distinction award ceremony hosted by The Terraces of Los Gatos and co-sponsored by the Los Catos
WeeklyTimes on \1ay 27. Recognized for their contributions in the community as \vell as Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, the.couple humbly accepted the Seniors of Distinction award
before a modest crowd of friends, city officials and former award recipients.
"There are a lot of people doing wonderful things in the commUIJity who deserve some credit as well," Leon says. "We're just doing what we're supposed to do. We're just trying to Serve
residents as best as we can." The \rlilbums are doing more than their fair share in serving the community. As members of the \r10untain Emergency Response Corps, which is part of the
American Red Cross, they have committed countless hours and energy to helping victims of disasters across the country regain ground. Their involvement with the nonprofit has taken them
to many places. They've assisted in the forest fires that hit Redding two years ago, handing out meals to volunteers battling the names and to those whose homes were damaged; provided
support to those affected by the Northridge earthquake; and flew to the Midwest, where they found homes and cars floating in brown \vater during the Hood seaSOIl. Leon was also among
the second wave of Red Cross workers who went to New York three weeks after the 9-11 tragedy to train volunteers on damage asses'sment and proper health services. He is also a member
of the American Red Cross West Valley Advisory Board, which among many things helps raise funds to fill shipping containers located in various areas with emergency relief materials such
as cots and blankets. TW. " IFans of history and of all things historical, the Milburrts are also volunteers with the Museums of Los Gatos. A large part of their work with
the museum consists of cataloging the items on display, photographing them and entering them into the computer. , "Leon and Joann are sweet and giving people," says Jade Bradbury, the
museum's history curator \ and committee member who first proposed to nominate the two. "Whatever needed to be done , around the museum, they did it, whether it was .fixing a leak or
polishing the c,ases or adjusting the light. And, for the other things they've done in the community, their recognition was long overdue." Showing even more of their philanthropic
spmts, they are also a part of LOVE, INC for \r10untain Bible Church. As coordinators, they help connect volunteers to those in need. The needs range from an individual looking for transportation
to get to a doctor's appointment to someone needing help with lawn work. In addition, Joann spends her time transcribing textbooks for the blind as a volunteer for the Braille Transcription
Project of Santa Clara County. She also finds time to cuddle with babies in the neonatal intensive care unit at Good Samaritan Hospital. "We love what we do," Joann says. "It makes us
happy to be able to help others." Monte Sereno \Tayor Erin Garner, who presented the a\vard \vith Los Gatos \layor Ste\ e Glickman. says the Milburns more than deserve the award. "The
Milbums have touched a lot of lives in the community," Gamer says. "Their work has been fruitful fonhe future. They serve as good models for kids."
The Milbums weren't the only ones who left the event with gifts. The seven-member selection committee also commended Dr. Phillp Emstrom, Emma Hopp and Phyllis Hardin for their tireless
work in the community. A retired surgeon with O'Connor HospitaL Ernstrom has been active \vith Habitat tor Hurn:1nity_ During his medical career, he took three months away from his practice
to work in a medical clinic in Kenya. And last year, he donated something even more valuable than his time to someone close to him-he donated one of his kidneys to his sister. giving
her the gift of life. Hopp and her husband, Dr. Wayne Hopp, are distinguished members of the Holy Cross Lutheran Church. A Sunday school teacher and mentor to youth groups, Hopp was
instrumental in setting up the No One Wants Program, which helps distributes boxes of food and other essentials to needy families. In addition, she is the co-founder of Telecare Ministry
and the Los Gatos Art Docent Program. A retired schoolteacher, Hardin spent many years working with children. She was a district librarian for the Los Gatos Union School District, a

Interests, Education and Experience Brief Bio: 'Kim E, Karloff, Ph.D., has been a journalism professor at Califo.rnia State University, Northridge, and currently is working as a writer
and editor in Los Gatos, California. Her six-plus years in the daily newspaper field include feature editing and writing, news reporting, wire editing, and page design at the Omaha World-Herald
and the Lincoln Journal in Nebraska, as well as an award-winning stint as news editor at the Abilene Reporter-News in Texas. A former Freedom Forum teaching fellow, Karloff was also
a recipient of the CSUN University Ambassadors' Polished Apple Award for inspiring teaching in 2000, as well as the.AEJMC/Small Programs Interest Group's 2001 Teacher of the Year Award.
She lives in Los Gatos with her husband, Larry Lenhart, and son Luke. ' As you can see by the attached resume, I am a former journalist turned college professor turned first-time mother
and book editor (OK, so the motherhood-at-40 experience really isn't covered in the professional resume. The experience, as many of you already know, is amazing, life-altering, challenging
and extremely educational. You all sign me on as a Library Board member and I'll fill you in). My interests have been and always will be in the written word: While a tenure-track journalism
professor at CSU-Northridge, I was elected and served on the university's Library Committee. My experiences at CSUN as well as at the major research libraries at The University of Iowa,
most notably the nationally recognized UI Law School Library, have shown me the inner workings of largerscale library operations. My doctoral research, however, took me to much smaller
local libraries and historical society libraries across the United States. I have worked with archivists, librarians and trustees, toured, done archival research and studied and even
helped re-stack the shelves -in northern and central Florida; in Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia; in Columbia, South Carolina; Richmond and Abington, Virginia; Iowa City, Iowa; Madison,
Wisconsin; Abilene, Fort Worth and Dallas, Texas; Boulder, Westminster and Denver, Colorado; and several towns across New Mexico and southern California. Bottom line: I love books and
all forrns of media. I know how to lead and to serve as a member 6f a board. And, I can bring a wealth of knowledge, creativity, solid strategic and critical thinking, and even a wee
bit of good humor to the Los Gatos Library Board.
Potential Contributions As a weekly Los Gatos Library visitor, voracious reader, professional writer and working book editor, my passion is books, the written word in all its forms,
and mass communication. As the spouse of a high-tech CEO, I understand financial constraints, markets and product values. I understand, too, the cultural, historical and future-seeing
importance of maintaining and upgrading a community's gemslike the Los Gatos Library. ' As a former college professor and former journalist, and most especially as a media researcher,
I know how to deal with people, institutions, foundations, committees, and perhaps most especially, the individual writer, reader, and community member. Bottom line: Allow me the honor
to serve on your Library Board and I will go to bat (did I mention I used to teach sports writing?) to create effective fund-raising strategies, to continue the Library's community outreach
programming, and to be an ambassador of one of our town's most precious resources -the Los Gatos Library. My thanks to the members of the selection committee for your time and consideration.
Sincerely, Kim E. Karloff 10 June 2004 cc: kekjljl files
