xactly a year and a half ago, I wrote an article focused on how to stay organized with kids at home during the pandemic. Now kids are back in school, but there’s a “loss of learning” that kids and teachers are facing along with parental stress, teacher stress, and overall school stress as everything takes a different shape. The words “social-emotional stress” keep coming up in my conversations over and over … along with the words “mandates,” “divisiveness,” “loss of job,” “loss of colleagues,” “anxiety,” “stressed,” “teachers stretched so thin,” and “kids struggling to keep up.”

by Sara Caputo This all feels true and real in our educational world right now. That’s why, this year, I want to focus on stress management for kids — and adults. My theory is that the more organized and calm the morning is, the better we are set up for success.

Nobody understands the hectic morning shuffle better than parents of kids. Our family is on that list. Our house is far from perfect, but we have learned a few key things that have helped us reduce stress and achieve some semblance of peace.

When I teach productivity and organizational skills to adults, I always end my course talking about starting each day in a “clean” way and setting yourself up for optimal success. The same is true for kids.

Here are some ideas:

SIMPLY 805

Prep is everything: School bag packed, shoes by the door, lunch and water bottle in fridge ready to go, clothes laid out, homework completed, and after-school sports gear ready to go for later in the day. This not only helps you as the parent so that you don’t have to deal with these items, but it’s also helping teach true life skills and build up that prefrontal cortex,

which is the part of the brain that plans, organizes, and looks ahead. Kids’ brains aren’t fully developed around these skills until their early twenties! So start now and help them learn this important life skill.

smoothly. If you have time, consider making double batches of dinner so you have leftovers. Who can turn down a Minnesota Nice Hot Dish? Just in case you didn’t know, I am from Minnesota … don’t ya know!

Food: FUEL. IS. EVERYTHING. It’s impossible to get very far with an empty tank. Food is brain power and protein is king when it comes to fueling up that body for the day. Consider talking with your family and making a breakfast list together so you can pick something easy and quick each day that everyone has already agreed to.

Spend some time on the weekend creating a meal plan for lunch and dinner. This can be super helpful so that you don’t have to wing it or run to the store because you don’t have something.

Plan ahead! Get buyin from the fam for those dinner meals so everyone is on board and the evening runs

Focus on the positive: Let’s be honest, school and work and the morning hustle is a grind. As a parent, I know I can quickly go down the rabbit hole if things aren’t going exactly how I want or need them to go. I also know that I get more of what I focus on, so, as parents, if we can stay focused on the positive — even if it’s just one small thing — we will get more of what we put our attention toward. They tied their shoes, took the trash out, or had their bag packed and ready to go? Focus on that, not that they forgot to walk the dog. We will always get more of what we want when we focus on the positive.

These three simple concepts cover a lot of ground and should help your entire operation run more smoothly. It’s a tricky time, and everyone is doing the best they can, so give each other a break, say something positive, and be grateful that we’re — hopefully! — moving closer to more normal times! Happy Thanksgiving.

I’m super grateful to be able to share my insights and tricks and tips with y’all each month. Now pass that corn soufflé and the rollies!

MICOP Provides Invaluable Support to Thousands of Indigenous Residents

M

ixteco Indigena Community Organizing Project (MICOP) has greatly expanded the services it offers to the Indigenous community in Santa Maria, including critical COVID outreach to clients who don’t speak English or Spanish and multifaceted assistance to unaccompanied, undocumented minors.

MICOP opened its Santa Maria office in 2019 and now has a staff of 25. A 2009 farmworker study estimated there are 30,000-35,000 Indigenous residents in Santa Barbara County. MICOP has operated in Ventura County for 20 years.

MICOP is highly effective because its staff, which is 80 percent Indigenous, speak the languages, share the cultures, and have built trust among the community. Between the two counties, MICOP annually serves about 15,000 clients, mostly farmworkers and their families. Most clients are Mixteco, but Zapotecs, Purépecha, and other groups are also served. About 40 percent of MICOP’s $5.7 million budget is from public sources, and it receives major funding from the James Irvine Foundation, Weingart Foundation, and other notable foundations.

When COVID struck, the Santa Maria office had only a small Census team and an immigration specialist, who were able to provide only limited COVID assistance, but by early this year, funding allowed it to bring on a COVID team, which has played a critical role. (Funding enabled Ventura’s COVID outreach to begin there soon after COVID struck.)

According to Associate Director Genevieve Flores-Haro, there was ignorance about COVID — the languages do not even have a word for virus — and significant mistrust about vaccines because of misinformation circulating. MICOP, as a trusted organization with staff who speak the languages, was uniquely positioned to get info to this community so members could make informed decisions.

MICOP did outreach at grocery stores, laundromats, and other public places in Santa Maria, providing information and addressing questions. According to Santa Maria

Program Director Ana Huynh, once MICOP staff provided information on the vaccines and addressed questions, hesitancy was typically overcome.

In Santa Maria, MICOP has partnered with County Public Health and other nonprofits to vaccinate people at its offices and offsite, including at a clinic where 500 farmworkers were vaccinated. It has facilitated testing and vaccinations by making appointments, which has been vitally important because of the language barrier, illiteracy, and lack of cell phones and computers. MICOP now offers rapid testing at its office. It also has distributed about 165,000 masks in the tri-county area.

Last year, the Santa Maria office hired a wage theft advocate to assist farmworkers who are paid less than they are owed. This all-too-common practice is enabled by wages tied to the quantity of crops picked, the language barrier, illiteracy, and fear of losing one’s job. This fear, according to Huynh, has proved quite challenging, as workers are grateful for their jobs and don’t want to rock the boat.

The advocate has educated workers about their rights and benefits and assisted with two successful worker-led strikes. Some farmworkers qualify for sick leave benefits, and for the first nine months of this year, CA required all employers with more than 26 employees to provide workers with supplemental paid sick leave for COVIDrelated reasons. Yet because of the language barrier, many Indigenous workers were not aware of these benefits and, according to Flores-Haro, were reticent to take time off for testing or illness because they could not afford to miss work. Informing workers of their rights has been crucial for the health of the workers and the community at large.

A general caseworker in Santa Maria quickly became the go-to general resource, assisting with Medi-Cal, disability assistance, food assistance, rent support, domestic violence matters, and much more. A monthly distribution of grocery gift cards recently began, with 250-300 cards of $30-$40 distributed each month. Two immigration attor-

neys assist with a range of matters in both counties.

MICOP began assisting undocumented, unaccompanied minors in both counties a couple of months ago under a state-funded pilot program, Opportunites for Youth.

In the last fiscal year, 90 of these minors were released in Santa Barbara County and 139 in Ventura County. Reaching these youth and their sponsoring families and getting them into the program has been challenging, according to Program Manager Leticia Sandoval, but four in Santa Barbara and 11 in Ventura County have joined and been connected with services offered by MICOP and others. Many of these youth have faced significant trauma in their home country, related Sandoval, so having a mentor address the social and emotional needs of youth is a vital part of the program. Planned workshops for family members will help them understand the trauma and how to better support the youth. Staff immigration attorneys handle deportation proceedings.

MICOP’s Tequio Program recently launched in Santa Maria to address serious, unmet needs of Indigenous youth. Parents typically work long days in the fields, leaving children unattended when not in school. According to Huynh, youth are subjected to significant bullying because of their inability to speak the language and differences in their appearances, causing some to avoid school entirely.

With youth left unsupervised, Huynh related, harmful influences can lead to a range of unwanted behavior. So the Tequio Program, still in the design stage, seeks to provide a safe haven where youth will feel they belong and where their culture is celebrated. The program, well-established in Ventura County, has a small college scholarship component as well.

Pending funding sources, MICOP hopes to replicate in Santa Maria some of the many other valuable programs it operates in Oxnard.

Better to Rent or to Purchase?

Q: Marsha, my fiancée and I are discussing housing

options in Santa Barbara. We are in our early thirties and have well-paying jobs. We’re trying to decide whether to rent or purchase a home. Homes seem so unbelievably expensive. What are your thoughts?

Should we rent or buy?

20

INDEPENDENT REAL ESTATE

NOVEMBER 18, 2021

A: As a real estate broker, my instinct is to shout, “Of

course you should purchase a home!” However, there are factors to consider.

First, how long do you plan on staying in your home?

If your Santa Barbara sojourn is only a year or two, incurring the expense of a home purchase doesn’t make sense.

Costs to purchase the home will include the down payment, home inspections, appraisal fees, and myriad other home-buying expenses. As a renter, your worst expense is an application fee and refundable security deposits.

Also, renting offers you mobility. If you’re not happy with the neighborhood, you give the landlord your 30-day notice and you’re gone. There’s also less responsibility. A renter has little or no obligation for caring for the property.

When your toilet backs up on Sunday, all you have to do is call the landlord.

There are great reasons to buy, too! If you plan to stick around the area, you should consider buying. There are tax benefits of home ownership. Homeowners deduct their property tax bills and mortgage interest payments from their taxable income. It can be a significant savings.

The tax benefits mean more money in your paycheck every month. Please discuss this with your CPA to know your actual benefit. Add to this the prospect of financial stability and long-term appreciation, and home ownership starts to look pretty good.

Many people also feel a strong pride of ownership when they own and love the effort they put into making their house a home.

Real Estate Q&A All real estate is local, and Santa Barbara is a unique community. Housing values have always felt high. I recently spoke with a Santa Barbara Realtor who started selling in the 1960s. He told me about one of his biggest career regrets. Many years ago, he was showing San

by Marsha Gray Roque homes to a young couple who were new to the area. They wanted to purchase a home that was offered for $32,000.

He considered that an outrageous price and counseled them to wait for a price reduction. That never happened, and the couple never purchased a home in Santa Barbara.

This is one of the biggest financial decisions of your life. There are so many factors to consider: interest rates,

REAL ESTATE SCOOP

current market values, how long you plan to stay in your home, and the level of flexibility you want are just a few.

You and your partner should weigh the pros and cons of a Santa Barbara purchase and decide what makes the most sense in your life and circumstances.

Cristal felt the best time to make her compassionate donation was now, in November, in honor of the National Day of Giving. This timing allows The Charitable Foundation to begin its grant-distribution process during the holiday season. It was her way of thanking the local business owners and people who are the fabric of the community in which they live and work.

“Cristal’s humble generosity shines through in every aspect of her work,” said Martha Mosier, President of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. “Cristal continues to give back to the communities she serves, and does so with a generous and open heart.

Our California Properties family and the Montecito community are extremely fortunate to know and work with Cristal.”

“Cristal’s generous contribution to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties’ Charitable Foundation is a beautiful expression of her commitment to strengthening and enriching the lives of people throughout her community,” said Gino Blefari, CEO of HomeServices of America and Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.

Having specialized in the sale of extraordinary estates and land in Montecito, Santa Barbara, Hope Ranch, and Summerland for more than three decades, Cristal is consistently recognized and praised for her dedication to her clients. “I go the extra mile for them and it shows,” she said. “That’s true not just throughout the transaction, but beyond escrow. Most of my clients become friends who know they can count on me, and that trust translates into repeat business and referrals as well as personal bonds.”

hat a difference a year makes right? It’s only been just over a year since voters defeated Proposition 15 at the polls and its proponents are back again with a new idea to raise property taxes.

Proposition 15, also referred to as the Split Roll Tax, was a proposition on the 2020 ballot in California that sought to remove Proposition 13 tax protections from commercial properties. This would require all commercial properties be reassessed every three years and property taxes adjusted upward at that time. This would have put a huge tax increase onto property owners and commercial tenants, as they are often the ones that pay for property taxes.

In September, a new proposal submitted to California state officials seeks to place a new version of Split Roll onto the 2022 ballot. Titled the “Housing Affordability and Tax Cut Act of 2022” the bill seeks to split the tax rolls differently this time around. Whereas last time the initiative’s backers sought to single out commercial versus residential, this time they seek to pit any property worth $4 million or more vs those worth under $4 million. For properties valued at $5 million or more, an additional 1.2% “surcharge” each year would be added onto the regular property tax. For a $5 million home, apartment complex or commercial property that’s an extra $60,000 per year. For properties between $4 million and $5 million, a formula is used to compute the additional tax. An example would be a
