Santa Maria, T1m, Yltn4ar, Fb. Zi, itZ- LJancock College president and superintendent Gary I I Edelbroclt Is a busy man, but always makes time on Uthe weekends for his kids' sports. Saturday, for example, he took his daughter to the track meet at Rlghettl where she competed for St. Joseph. Then he put her on the bus with the St.

Joseph girls' basketball team to travel down to Marshall for CIF playoffs. That afternoon, he coached his son's fifth-sixth grade basketball team In the Vandenberg Village Recreation League and that evening registered his son for Little League. in the basketball playoffs. Son Kevin scored 32 points for the vouth basketball team, which Is now 8-0 under "coach" Edelbrock. When an employee for Central Coast Fabtronlcs, a sheetmetal and machining business on Skyway Drive, called to Inquire if the picture of the company's new machine would be in the paper, The Ear told replied yes, adding that any potential customer would have trouble contacting the business.

You see, the company is not listed in the phonebook or through directory assistance. Tuesday night, the Ear stopped at a 7-11 to buy some beer. Lo and behold, the clerk behind the counter, who must have been in her mid 50s, asked for the Ear's identification. As she looked at the driver's license, she said, "I wish they'dask for my I.D." it a yo? are Bering what color is being applied to the exterior of First United Methodist Church, corner of Broadway and Cook, we hear it's Spaniard white same as the City Hall sitting right across the street.

Add Edelbrock: his kids had a good day, too.

JJ SAJ ovation. She presented the non-performing lifetime achievement award for the late Broadway song-writing team of George and Ira Gershwin to Mrs. Ira Gershwin. The high point of the awards in the country-music division was Ro-sanne Cash's win in the category of country female vocal soloist.

Cash, the daughter of country-music legend Johnny Cash and a performer both hailed and criticized for accommodating rock influences in her country music, said that she had written her winning song, "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me," as "a little exercise in self-pity, and now I've won a Grammy for it." Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis dominated the jazz division of the Grammys for the second year in a row, winning prizes in the jazz solo instrumental and jazz group instrumental categories. Among the mofce" obscure awards, one victory was particularly sweet: The ethnic or traditional folk recording award went to Rockin' Sidney's "My Toot Toot," a 30-year-old novelty tune that in the last year brought its New Orleans creator fame. Other lifetime achievement awards were voted to jazz clarinetist Benny Goodman, the rock band the Rolling Stones and classical guitarist Andres Segovia. The award to the Rolling Stones was the first for the veteran rock band, and the occasion was marked by the premiere of a video, "The Harlem Shuffle," from a forthcoming Stones album. The Stones' award was presented to the band in London and broadcast via satellite.

As blues-rock guitarist Eric Clapton himself worthy of a lifetime achievement award read a solemn, earnest presentation speech, these aging bad boys mugged and snickered, fully living up to their naughty image. It was a striking moment: Clearly, if the Rolling Stones are the radical rock-music artists the award holds them to be, this recognition from the musical Establishment must mean very little to them; on the other hand, the appeal of the Rolling Stones is the fog-thick air of irony that perennially surrounds them, and Mick Jagger's arch thank-you Tuesday night was entirely in keeping with the Stones' edgy, ambivalent stance. Inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame this year were five records: "A-Tisket, A-Tasket," by Chick Webb and His Orchestra, as sung by Ella Fitzgerald in 1938; "Blue Suede Shoes," by Carl Perkins, recorded in 1956; the 1945 recording of "Bach: Goldberg Variations for Harpsichord," by Wanda Landowska; "Cool Water," by the Sons of the Pioneers from 1941, and "Tea for Two," as recorded by pianist Art Tatum in 1939. These were all exemplary choices acknowledging a wide range of achievement, from the curt but artful simplicities of a piece of proto-rock like "Blue Suede Shoes" to the knotty, witty intricacies of Tatum's revolutionary piano style. Live performances during Tuesday night's telecast included those by Starship (once upon a time and many personnel changes ago known as Jefferson Airplane), Houston, Wonder and the Norwegian band a-ha (which had heretofore performed only in the recording studio its inexperience didn't show).

The most entertaining live performance, however, occurred late in the proceedings, when 28 veteran jazz artists, including bassist Ron Carter, pianist Herbie Hancock, guitarist B. B. King and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, combined for a passionate if disjointed version of "How High the Moon." vocal (on the band's single "Money for and he shared a Grammy with country-music gui- tarist Chet Atkins in the country instrumental category for their duet on the composition "Cosmic Square Dance." There were genuinely touching moments scattered throughout the evening. When Houston was given her award in the pop solo female vocalist category by her cousin, singer Dionne Warwick, both women burst into happy tears. And Kenny Rogers hoarse from a recent throat operation began the proceedings with an eloquent reminder to the audience that the music world's social consciousness did not awaken with "We Are the World." Rogers invoked the names of Woody Guthrie and Paul Robeson as examples of performers who used their art to illuminate their political and social beliefs.

The evening began on a similarly political note when, even before the show's opening credits, British rocker Sting sang his pop-song-for-peace, "Russians," which decries the possibility of nuclear war and contains the chorus "I hope the Russians love their children, too." This effort was sincere but strained: In the midst of the genial glitter of the Grammys, Sting surrounded by a rock band and an orchestral string section seemed ostentatious and self-important, his song reduced to a mere scold. Two controversies dominated much of the news coverage before Tuesday night's ceremony. One involved the usually sedate classical-music world: The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, nominated for 12 Grammys, was accused of bloc voting after conducting an extensive academy membership drive in Atlanta late last year. In fact, the orchestra won four Grammy Awards, one in every category in which it was nominated. The other controversy was pop prosaic: Houston, the 21-year-old singer whose debut album, "Whit By Ken Tucker Knlght-Ridder Newspapers LOS ANGELES Phil Collins, Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder and the 45-star USA for Africa chorus were among the big winners at Tuesday night's 28th annual Grammy Awards show.

The Gram-mys are the prizes bestowed annually by the 5,000 members of the National Academy of Recording Arts Sciences. Tuesday night's show was telecast live from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. USA for Africa's "We Are the World," written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, won the two most prestigious awards, record of the year and song of the year. "We Are the World," recorded to raise funds for the starving in Africa, has raised more than $30 million since its release in early 1985, according to the USA for Africa Foundation. One USA for Africa participant, Stevie Wonder, also won a Grammy for his album "In Square Circle" in the rhythm-and-blues solo male vocalist category.

This was Wonder's 16th Grammy, placing him in a tie with producer Quincy Jones for fourth place on the all-time winners list. (The all-time top three are Chicago Symphony conductor Georg Solti, with 23; composer Hanry Mancini, 20, and pianist Vladimir Horowitz, 18.) Jones, for his part, produced the "We Are the World" recording session. "No Jacket Required" won Phil Collins the awards for both album of the year and pop solo male vocalist; he and Hugh Padgham shared the prize for producer of the year for their work on the LP. The new-artist award went to the Nigerian-born British pop star Sade. With eight nominations, singer-guitarist Mark Knopfler, leader of the English rock band Dire Straits, was the most-nominated artist of the evening.

However, he won only two awards. Knopfler took home a Grammy for rock duo or group Whitney Houston, left, is Dionne Warwick after UPI photo didn't go home feeling too bad. The Grammy ceremony is frequently an occasion to take a peek at reclusive stars. Last year, Bruce Springsteen grinned from the audience, but he was nowhere in sight this year. Tuesday night's shy stars included Michael Jackson, who accepted the award for song of the year looking ill-at-ease and rather pufy (has he broken with his vegetarian Barbra Streisand, who almost never appears on television, was accorded a standing ney Houston," has sold more than two million copies and yielded "fefaad sweet choices hefoire COSMETIC DENTAL BONDING Yes!

This seemed to make little sense, since Cyndi Lau-per, winner of last year's new-artist Grammy, had released an album as the lead singer of the band Blue Angel five years earlier.
