Who Pays the Nation’s Healthcare Bill?

A

nnual healthcare spending soared to $3.2 trillion, or 17.8%, of the entire nation’s $18.3 trillion GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in 2015, the last year with reliable statistics. Recognize that the amount of money this country spends on healthcare is only slightly smaller than the entire federal budget of $3.85 trillion. Worse, healthcare spending is on autopilot, expected to rise to $5.5 trillion by 2025, thanks to aging Baby Boomers, seniors living longer and new, high-priced “miracle” drugs, and medical procedures being introduced into the marketplace.

Who Pays for Healthcare Spending?

In 2015, private employer insurer plans paid the most – $1.1 trillion or 33% of total healthcare costs. Medicare cost taxpayers $646 billion, or 20% of total healthcare spending. Medicaid accounted for $545 billion, or 17%. Out-ofpocket expenditures of $338 billion contributed 11%. Other 3rd party payers – 8%; Veterans and military – 4%; and public health programs accounted for the remaining 3%.

Where Does the Money Go?

3,000 PROJECTS • 600 CLIENTS • 30 YEARS • ONE BUILDER

Hospitals received the biggest slice of the healthcare pie – 33% or $1.1 trillion.

Physicians and clinics received 20% or $635 billion. Prescription drug spending rose to $325 billion, or 10%. Government and private insurance administrative costs eat up 8%. Nursing care facilities received 5%; medical research gets 5%; personal care providers received 5%; dentists get 4%; medical products and equipment account for 4%; home healthcare services received 3% and public health services received 3%.

U.S. Healthcare Spending Per Person Healthcare spending per person in the United States, according to actuaries at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, averages $9,024, highest in the world, by far. Our access to high-quality care; our use of advanced medical technology; our expensive end-of-life care; and access to wonder drugs, all drive U.S. healthcare spending higher. Next highest is Switzerland at $6,787 per person; Sweden at $5,003; Canada at $4,506; Japan at $4,152; and Great Britain at $3,971.

How Many U.S. Citizens Have Healthcare Insurance?

Employer Healthcare Coverage: According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 55% of all Americans obtain health insurance through their employers. Passage of ObamaCare has resulted in some smaller employers dropping healthcare coverage, but the vast majority has continued coverage. More regulations and rising insurance costs have led to larger co-pays and higher deductibles in employer healthcare plans.

Government Healthcare Insurance 31% of Americans depend on public healthcare insurance programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, and now, mandated ObamaCare for everyone else.

Additional government insurance programs include State Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Prescription Assistance (SPAP), All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), Indian Health Service, Veterans Administration, and the Military Health System.

Private Insurance Plan Coverage Individually purchased private healthcare plans account for another 7% of insurance coverage. These can include high-deductible health plans, health savings accounts, and managed care programs.

Uninsured Thanks to ObamaCare, the number of uninsured in the U.S. has dropped to historic lows of roughly 9% of the population. Of the 27 million currently labeled uninsured, almost half are eligible either for Medicaid or subsidized ObamaCare

MONTECITO JOURNAL

eteran Montecito comedienne Carol Burnett is getting her own show on Netflix.

The 84-year-old TV icon will star on the popular streaming service in A Little Help With Carol Burnett, which will feature her hysterical discussions with youngsters between the ages of 4 and 8 in front of a studio audience.

Carol, known for programs such as The Carol Burnett Show and Mama’s Family, is inked to star in a dozen episodes to be released next year.

“Someone once asked me how old I am inside,” says Carol. “I thought about it and came up with ‘I’m about eight.’ So, it’s going to be a lot of fun playing with kids my age.”

Carol, who’s been seen in recent years in cameos on Hot in Cleveland, Hawaii Five-O, and Glee, has appeared in a teaser clip for the program in which she’s in a mock job interview with a child executive, who’s clearly unaware of her prolific credentials.

“I’m Carol... Burnett,” she tells the young man. “I did a few films and some specials... do you know who Dolly Parton is? She’s very talented.”

The child exec hires her, with another generational clash coming when he instructs her to text, use Instagram, goes in for a fist bump as opposed to a hand shake, and tells her to “Stay woke.”

Carol deadpans: “Stay woke... I will.”

Dick Clark Productions exec Mark Bracco says: “To be working with a comedy legend like Carol Burnett is truly a dream come true,” while Netflix’s vice president of content acquisition, Bela Bajaria, says the company is “thrilled Carol is bringing her unique sensibilities” to the service.

You go, girl.

Homemade Chile Santa Barbara’s State Street Ballet is in for a Chile reception!

Founder Rodney Gustafson’s tony troupe of terpsichorean talent will be featured alongside dancers from around the globe, including artists from Russia’s legendary Bolshoi Ballet, London’s Royal Ballet, and New York City Ballet at the International Ballet Gala and Salute to world unity in Santiago.

State Street Ballet is South America bound

Mauricio Vera, Deise Mendonca, and Rodney, a former member of New York’s American Ballet Theatre, with help from the Chilean and American embassies, the global event features dancers representing 12 countries for three days this weekend.

“State Street Ballet has always led with its heart, and it’s our great honor that ten of the 25 dancers featured at this international event are from our company,” says Rodney, who two years ago took the dancers on a multicity tour of China.

Principal dancer Leila Drake adds: “To be invited on to an international stage of this caliber not only speaks to the high quality of our dancers and innovative repertoire, but also to the worldwide unifying power of the arts.”

ounding the corner of the Coral Casino on a recent Saturday morning, I spotted a flotilla of boats escorting what looked like over 100 kids on paddleboards. It was the 10th annual Keiki Paddle.

The event raises funds for kids with cancer. Information is here on the organization’s website: keikipaddle@ gmail.com.

Dan Seibert Santa Barbara (Editor’s note: Thanks for noticing and photographing this, Dan; we are pleased to pass on the following information gleaned from the Keiki Paddle website: “Eliana Sophia Georges is a living miracle by anyone’s standard. This seven-year-old has been battling cancer since she was four months old, and in that time has undergone four surgeries and countless tests and procedures. While Eliana’s life with cancer has been like that of a roller coaster with many days spent in grim circumstances, this Warrior Princess, as many know her, has defied the odds every time. With her major first milestones of crawling, walking, and talking, all taking place within the walls of the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Eliana is confidently adapting to her new “normal” life of going to school at Washington Elementary and exploring the beaches near the mesa.

“Eliana loves to read, draw, and is an avid Raiders fan like her dad. She has been attending the Zermeno Dance Academy where she is learning to Flamenco dance, and in her downtime enjoys being surrounded by her friends and family. It has been said that Eliana’s smile can light up a room, and we have no doubt this holds true during the Keiki Paddle.

Time for Sanity

Let’s face reality. We have a dysfunctional political system. The recent healthcare fiasco should convince concerned voters this is a fact.

Democrats: You created the ObamaCare disaster. You allowed it to raise havoc with our nation’s healthcare. You’ve done nothing to alleviate the problems you caused with ObamaCare. You condemn those who identify its many flaws and problems and want to repeal it.

Republicans: You’re spineless. You voted to repeal ObamaCare many times knowing that a President Obama veto render your actions meaningless.

American voters then gave you the House, Senate, and the presidency.

After seven years of bloviating and with the power to stand behind your stated convictions, you totally blew it.

Voters on both sides: We need to gather our sanity and demand quality work from those who represent us.

Among other things, we must realize that healthcare and health insurance are not the same things.

With school starting at MUS on Wednesday, August 23, Ranii told the board he’s been busy settling in to his new position, after moving from San Mateo County from his post as superintendent of Hillsborough City School District.

“Hillsborough is a comparable district to Montecito, being that both districts are funded by local property tax,” he said. Before serving as an administrator, Ranii’s teaching career included teaching kindergarten as well as third, fourth, and fifth grades; he has spent 19 years as an educator.

Ranii reported that his own three kids will attend local schools, including San Marcos High School, La Colina Junior High, and kindergarten at Montecito Union School. “I hope to

La Fiesta del Museo SBHM executive director Lynn Brittner, trustee Chris Greco, Nelson Coates, Kathy Greco, and Ruben Flores greeting guests at the Fiesta party

O

ne of the first Fiesta parties of the season is the annual soirée given by the Santa Barbara Historical Museum (SBHM). As executive director Lynn Brittner told the audience, “This is our 70th Fiesta del Museo, where we invite you to celebrate the culture, dance, cuisine, and costumes of Old Spanish Days.”

Flower girls wishing us “Viva la Fiesta” greeted guests at the entrance door. We strolled through the gallery where the “In The Saddle” exhibition is going on, into the room with the pictures of all the California Missions and out into the courtyard.

The party began by the Covarrubias Adobe with margaritas and a full bar, plus fresh-cooked tamales, chips, and guacamole. The ladies and gentlemen were in the spirit with all their Fiesta finery – some outstanding, such as David Bolton in his traje corto from Spain and Erik Davis in his

Not to mention the ruffles, flowers, and fringe on the ladies.

A seated dinner was in the gaily decorated courtyard with a runway down the middle for the historical show narrated by Erika Martin del Campo. The SBHM and the Carriage Museum were showing off some of their collections – one being the “rhinestone cowboys.” The male models were dazzling with their blingy jeans and jackets sparkling under the lights.

He went on to design for such stars as John Wayne, Roy Rogers, Elton John, and Cher. Dancers from Linda Vega Dance Studio and Zermeno Dance Academy flaunted their 19th-century fans and demonstrated fan language – a lost art today. La Presidente Rhonda Henderson unveiled this year’s rodeo poster, and the original painting of the Fiesta poster was also on display.

Junior Spirit of Fiesta Eve Flores and Spirit of Fiesta Norma Escarcega both performed. One of the leading flamenco dancers in the world, Timo Nunez, is from Santa Barbara and danced for us this evening. I think some of the “señoritas” were wishing he was part of the auction.

The Casa was the residence of the fifth commandant of the Presidio de Santa Barbara, Jose de la Guerra y

Noriega from 1828 until his death in 1858. Descendants of Jose lived in the home until 1943. The site is currently owned and operated by the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation. It is located at 15 East De la Guerra Street, across from City Hall. Today, there’s a lot of wine tasting going on nearby in Paseo Nuevo.

There probably was back then too, at the many festivities hosted by Jose.

This evening, the place came to life with Lya latin music, margaritas, cerveza, vino, and delicious taquitos with a dozen toppings to add. Spirit of Fiesta Norma Escarcega danced for us and Rhonda explained, “The first Spirit was in 1949, and Fiesta began 93 years ago.” Rhonda’s theme is “Unity through Community” harking back to the late Father Virgil, who was so

Bastille Day

If you’re French, Bastille Day is a time to celebrate and with a name like Quarre as in Wilson, it was time for a party. It was co-hosted by his bubbly wife, Peggy Wiley, who also had her beret on. That wasn’t all that was bubbling. It was a champagne tasting party comparing French ones to our California sparkling wines.

The venue was all new to me at 1117 State Street and most interesting. It’s called the Impact Hub. To quote from their first magazine, “Impact Hub Santa Barbara is a co-working mecca for change-makers and entrepreneurs

to collaborate, be inspired, and make an impact. It’s a place where ideas are born, startups flourish, and new opportunities are found in day-to-day interactions.”

It’s better than a coffee shop or a home office, and it’s cheaper than renting office space. They offer a wine bar and café too. You can call Donna Compaglia at (805) 2840078 for information or drop in and have a look. Her Email is donna@ impacthubsb.com. There is another Hub in the Funk Zone at 10 East Yanonali. They offer a wine bar and café too.

Besides business, The Impact Hub does rent out space for special events.

We were outside in back in the cozy courtyard for Wilson and Peggy’s French fete. The empanadas were delicious and so were the wines. “Vive la France!”

On Entertainment

Hans Down: Great Music Beyond the Movies

G

erman-born film composer Hans Zimmer has been making movie-goers cry, recoil in horror, or squeal with delight for decades, dating back to 1988’s Oscar-winning Rain Man. Since then, he’s written the scores to nearly 200 films, including such sci-fi, fantasy, or action-adventure classics as The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, Interstellar, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Gladiator, as well as Driving Miss Daisy and The Lion King (the latter his only Academy Award in 10 nominations), in decidedly different genres. His ability to meld classical music with modern pop elements all while evolving his sound over time has won him work with such notable directors as Christopher Nolan, Ron Howard, Ridley Scott, Terrence Malick, and Barry Levinson.

Now, the master of film scoring is taking the act on the road, leading a full rock band, a classical orchestra, and a choir in performing arrangements of his most eclectic themes in three-hour concerts that have exposed the universal appeal of his music to broaden beyond the silver

screen. He talked about his career and the concert over the phone to preview this Sunday night’s show at the Santa Barbara Bowl.

Q. Way back in the late 1970s, you played synthesizer on the Buggles’s “Video Killed the Radio Star”, the first video ever shown on MTV. I’m guessing that’s where you got hooked on marrying music and visuals?

A. We just wanted to make a video.

Everybody told us we were insane and that it wouldn’t work. But we begged and borrowed the money to do it. But back, then the BBC wouldn’t show it because they thought it was too violent. It took three more years before MTV started, and they didn’t have any rules, so we were perfect

From The Buggles to the Bowl: composer Hans Zimmer performs Sunday (photo by Angela Lubrano)

for them.

What also happened is that I figured out really quickly that I didn’t want to have a career in pop music. I found it boring having to re-hash the same format all the time: verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-chorus. Even worse, once you had your style you had to stick to it. So even though I had the No. 1 record, when I ran into film composer Stanley Myers, and he offered me an internship, I chucked it all to make coffee (while learning from him).

Now that you brought it up, how do you keep from repeating yourself? I just interviewed (opera composer) Jake Heggie last week, and he said that’s his greatest fear.

The occasional phrase might sneak through in a different context. But really, every movie gives me a new idea. Just in the stuff I’ve done with Ridley Scott, Gladiator, and Thelma and Louise, couldn’t be more different.

It’s in the story-telling. You just figure out how to tell it in music.

What do you look for when you take on a new project? I understand Dunkirk was very personal to you because of your relationship to your own father. Do you look to find that sort of connection when choosing projects now?

Not really. You feel motivated just being in the company of an interesting director telling stories. And deadlines help. You get things done when people shout at you. Mostly it’s about telling a story in a new way.

I remember (director) Guy Ritchie came to me when he was making the Sherlock Holmes movie and told me that every time he went to the cutting room, someone had put The Dark Night (the 2008 Batman movie which Zimmer co-composed) into (the temp track). He said, “I hate it!” That was a really good way to start, because I

• The Voice of the Village •

knew I wouldn’t be doing the same thing again!

I read where you are still nervous when you begin a project. After all you’ve accomplished, how can that be?

Because I try to find things where I don’t know what I’m doing. That gives you license to explore, maybe sit down with a musician and ask him dumb questions about his instrument, or read up on a culture you don’t know anything about, or just meet new people and talk about things. For Interstellar, I got to hang out with amazing scientists and get them to very slowly explain the laws of gravity and time to me. I get to go on an adventure with every movie.

You have the reputation of being – how did Wikipedia put it? – “The father of integrating the electronic musical world with traditional orchestral arrangements.” How did – (Interrupts.) One of these days, I’ve got to get them to get rid of that line. It’s silly. All music is based on wherever we are in technology.

Stradivarius was the high point of violin tech in the 16th century and pipe organ in the 17th. But suddenly in the middle of the 20th century, there came a big divide when Bob Moog built his synthesizer. The orchestral players said, “We can’t have that.”

Maybe I was naïve, but I thought if I can play a tune on it, let’s put it in the orchestra.

Turning to this live concert tour, film soundtracks are carefully crafted and painstakingly produced. How and why did you want to reproduce them live? Is that your inner rock star coming back out?

It was an opportunity to have all the musicians I love working with come and be in this band. It’s a oncein-a-lifetime thing. It’s about giving 10 – 17 August 2017

them space to do all the things they wanted to on the score, broaden the horizon of how they were written.

That’s how we picked what to play – they just decided.

What goes into creating these orchestral arrangements?

Curiously, it wasn’t much work at all, just a lot of fun to expand sections so the musicians could stretch out.

The way I write, it’s long form first, which I then cut down to fit the cues in the show. That’s how I think my way through a movie; I write a suite that encompasses all of the ideas.

So, something like the 14-minute The Pirates of the Caribbean suite already existed.

How is it to come out from behind the keyboards and the screen and meet your audience?

It took a lot of badgering and bullying to get me to leave my studio and go look the audience in the eye.

But I thought I owed them that.

(Even though we’ve been doing it since April), I still operate somewhere between terror and high anxiety. None of the things I say on stage are planned or scripted. Whatever comes out of my mouth is what it is.

I treat it as if we’re having a dinner party, and the audience and I are having a chat. I’m a composer, not

a performer, and I have absolutely no stagecraft. Fortunately, I can hide behind the musicians. I write things for people who can play really well that hit the edge of their capabilities.

But that means I can’t play it. There are all these impossible keyboard parts floating around.

You made the choice not to have any footage screen during the concert. Why? I’ve seen those kind of shows before. For the first five minutes, I’m completely into the orchestra, but if the film is any good, then all I want to do is watch the movie. I wanted (this show) to be about the musicians.

And to give the audience the freedom to remember the movie, or have nostalgia of the moment when they saw it, or to re-imagine it however they want. It seems to be working.

Has there been a favorite moment during the live show where it all came together?

Coachella, without a doubt. At first I couldn’t see it (going there). What got me there was the idea of taking an orchestra and a choir into the desert.

It had to be done. The audience and I didn’t know what to expect from each other, because they were a festival crowd, not film-score aficionados.

LETTERS (Continued from page 10)

Democrats (think Nancy Pelosi) tend to equate these two different entities. Do we want a single-payer (Democrats) or free-market (Republican) system? I suggest that those wanting single-payer research how content middle-class Canadians are with the Canada Health Act (CHA) passed in 1984. Pay particular attention to the “wait time” to see a medical specialist. All Canadians have health insurance, but do they have quality healthcare? Research why wealthy Canadians are happy that the U.S. is “close by.” Californians, in particular, should research why single-payer died a quick death in Vermont (think Bernie Sanders).

We owe President Obama gratitude.

He showed us what doesn’t work.

Democrats and Republicans must exhibit common sense, break from strict party lines, and work together to produce quality healthcare for Americans. I’m for the free-market approach, but I’ll willingly listen to those who genuinely believe there is better way to go.

Carpinteria (Editor’s note: We too believe a free-market approach is most likely to promote and ensure both reasonably affordable health care coverage for most and reasonably competent health care for the indigent.

The only thing a government-run health care system will promote as far as we can tell is a giant bureaucracy, limited choice for most, and an unsupportable debt load for all. – J.B.)

Healthcare Help

There are 31.1 million people in the U.S. without any healthcare coverage, 11.2 million enrolled in ObamaCare, 74.2 million enrolled in Medicaid, which is growing at an unsustainable rate, an ObamaCare consequence, 53.3 million enrolled in Medicare, 152.2 million employer, 23.1 million nongroup, and 6.3 million other public.

Healthcare costs, including deductibles and premiums are increasing, not just because of the coverage of people with pre-existing conditions, older persons and young people not participating, but also because of the high costs of medical providers. The noncompetitive costs for doctor fees, medical services, lab-work, hospital stays, prescription drugs, et cetera.

There is no cost accountability, because Uncle Insurance and Uncle Taxpayer pay the majority of costs, and users don’t question. Costs need to be justified. The Republican proposals to repeal and replace O’Care, will not increase affordability, accessibility, and quality of care, nor subject the healthcare providers with cost exposure and needed competition. It will greatly increase federal and state debt. The main parts of O’Care need a 60 Senate vote to repeal and replace.

LLEN - Julia Myrick “Ricky”, Died peacefully on July 17, 2017, in Santa Barbara, CA. Born January 7, 1928 in Oxnard, CA, Ricky was educated at the Crane School, Katherine Branson School, Madeira School and Radcliffe College ’50.

While at Radcliffe, Ricky met and married Gordon Allen, Jr. (Harvard ’49), they began married life in New York City where Gordy was an investment banker with Dominick & Dominick and Ricky worked for the interior decorating firm of Dorothy Draper. In 1952 they moved to Dayton, OH, where they raised three sons and developed a large group of life long friends. In 1982, they moved to Santa Barbara, where Ricky built a thriving real estate practice and honed her golf game. After Gordy’s death in 2009, Ricky moved to Casa Dorinda in Montecito.

Ricky was a loyal friend to many and a voracious reader; her interests included her grandchildren, gardening, cooking, patriotism, the arts, crossword puzzles, politics, shopping, golf, hiking and much more. She served on the boards of the Crane School and the Santa Barbara Botanical Garden.

She is survived by her family - Margaret and Peter Thatcher Allen; Nick and Samantha Allen Firestone; Jack Youngblood Allen; Sherri and Gordon Scott Allen; Steve Bowker and Ashton Porter Allen; Elizabeth Scott Allen; and Edward Holyoke Allen.

Ricky’s family and friends often referred to her as both “interesting and interested.”

will stop any repeal and replacement.

The Democrat desire for a national single-payer system will not result in affordability, nor especially in accessibility and quality of care, or reduce drug costs and medical provider costs.

It will increase national and state debt.

A solution is needed. Bring back the 51 Senate vote rule and elect in 2018 60 real Republicans to the Senate.

H.T. Bryan Santa Barbara (Editor’s note: We believe the 2018 mid-term election results will favor Republicans, as they have a real issue to run on: repealing and replacing ObamaCare. Our guess is there will be at least 57 Republican Senators in the upper chamber after the smoke clears, and that ObamaCare will finally be repealed and replaced with something resembling a free market for insurance coverage and taxpayer subsidized care for the poor.

Republicans should also hold the House, although they may lose five to 10 seats.

How’s that for prognosticating? – J.B.)

The Fix isn’t in

I have to take issue with the line printed on the front of last week’s Montecito Journal: “WE CAN FIX THIS.” I have lived on Coast Village Road for 30 years. The street is a dangerous mess 75 percent of the time.

What a shame it was when Caltrans and the city removed the southbound ramp off Cabrillo and created this mess. Once a nice street that serviced local residents and the restaurants and shops, it is now what one wise man called it, a “funeral precession.”

How long will it take to create another southbound ramp that really works is anyone’s guess. The funeral

procession may never stop, even with the three new lanes. The stop signs put at Middle Road are another joke; only police cars really stop there. When the mixed-use building at Olive Mill and the condos next to Vons get finished (both are now being built), “the mess will get worse.” I do welcome any solution that will solve this problem.

Lee Artman Montecito (Editor’s note: I believe it may be somewhat difficult to put into practice most of the suggested “fixes” proposed in last week’s issue, but they’re worth a try.

The mixed-use building at Olive Mill shouldn’t add significantly to traffic in that area. As for the “condos next to Vons,” we assume you are referring to the proposed project between China Pavilion and Starbucks on Coast Village Road. It will probably be at least five years before that comes to fruition, and the building that currently occupies that space has as many units as whatever will replace it, so it too will not add to traffic, except during construction, of course. – J.B.)

Oak Moth Research

I’m a longtime (1978) Montecito residential gardener, and have had to research and then apply the research to our coastal oaks.

Healthy oaks can tolerate up to four or five leaf denudings, due to having starch reserves in their roots. Anything past five denudings and the trees can die, especially if they are stressed, or the infestations are too great. The episode of 10 years ago or so, I believe was about four cycles, down in the hedgerow district, where I live.

The moths you see flying are currently laying eggs. These will hatch in a few weeks or so, and then start the second or third round of eating.

Interrupting the cycle can only be done at the young worm stage, and normal pesticides will do nothing but make the problem worse, by killing off their natural predators, wasps, et cetera.

BT, short for Bacillus thuringiensis, is a safe insecticide that is often mixed with Neem oil or soap and then applied to the tree as soon as the young worms start eating. It is safe for mammals, birds, et cetera, but should be washed off vegetables.

It’s a bit expensive to treat large

oak trees, but we use BT on smaller ones with a hose end sprayer, and on bougainvillea in the fall, when other worms attack them. They will die off in a day or so. The worms appear to die back in the winter, and I have been unable to find what causes their periodic return.

The commercial tree companies will also spray BT, using a high-pressure nozzle, but its very difficult to get complete coverage, and timing is critical.

One of the best sources of information is our own California Integrated Pest Management office: http://ipm. ucanr.edu/PMG/menu.homegarden. html Lastly, regarding small-breed dogs: People and pets should avoid breathing the dried “poop” dust from the worms, it may set up unhealthy gut bacteria in pets.

May not be so good for people, either.

We had some major issues with our mini Schnauzer dogs who were “dirt lickers” (healthy soil bacteria are often added to pet probiotics), but in our case, they suffered severe intestinal bleeding after being observed doing their normal dirt licking near where we had massive amounts of worm poop. It’s a problem that hits specific small breeds during their middle age; it’s not contagious – however, we had four or five episodes and lots of drama.

I’m not positive the worm poop caused it, but we and the vets eliminated all other causes. Can be fatal, but timely intervention will solve the problem. I plan on calling the vets we know to see if there is any uptick in this problem.

Good luck, everyone!

Teach Your Children Well

Just when I thought Planned Parenthood couldn’t get any worse, this came in from the Daily Wire: in new guidelines issued on the official Planned Parenthood website, the federally subsidized corporation explains how parents should talk to their pre-schoolers about gender roles, sexuality, masturbation, and transgenderism, even offering tips on how to tell if your toddler “is transgender or gender nonconforming.”

Advice from the guidelines includes: “Be mindful of how you talk around your kid, too. Talking to (or in front of) your daughter about growing up and having boyfriends or marrying a man (and vice versa) sends the message that girls are supposed to like boys, and boys are supposed to like girls, and that anything else is wrong or not normal. While kids this young 10 – 17 August 2017

don’t know their sexual orientation yet, assuming they’re straight, could make them scared to come to you or feel bad about themselves later. This can lead to mental health issues, unhealthy relationships, and taking more health risks when they reach their teenage years.”

So, along with freaking parents out over potentially triggering a mental illness in their children, Planned Parenthood provides the litmus test for determining whether or not your child is transgender. According to the organization that spends more time aborting babies than birthing them, if your child is “Consistent, Insistent, and Persistent” with the idea that he or she was born the wrong gender, you have no choice but to run with it.

Planned Parenthood does not note that 3-year-olds tend to be rather consistent, insistent, and persistent about everything from playing with matches to beating up other kids for touching their toys.

PP contends loud, clear, and often that they need the $500 million it gets from the taxpayers annually so they can provide “health care services” to those that can’t afford it. Excuse me, but am I missing something here? I am having a very difficult time figuring out just what the hell teaching 3-yearolds about masturbation and gender roles have to do with women’s health.

I think it borders closer to pedophilia on PP’s part rather than anything else.

Also, if there are any “unhealthy mental issues” in this saga, it’s more likely to be found in PP’s hierarchy.

N.K. is not Okay

North Korea could unleash a massive artillery attack on Seoul.

Overwhelming American force would minimize casualties – Russia and China tell us not to attack N.K. North Korean military tech is from the 1950s to the 1970s.

North Korea cannot afford to “move” its military. North Korean submarines (noisy 1950s diesel tech) can only operate 30 miles from the shore. NK Air Force is at best 50-percent operational.

U.S. stealth fighter jets F22 Stratosphere and F35 Stealth Bombers will gain complete air superiority within hours against the North’s antiquated forces.

Pray for American leaders and for American military personnel.

welcome 423 students this school year, which is fewer than the last few years. The school is currently working on launching an Innovation Lab, utilizing funds from the Montecito Education Foundation. The Lab will be in existing school space, with existing faculty. “It’ll be a space for kids to learn real-world solutions to real-world problems, using collaborative creativity,” Ranii said.

Also discussed at the meeting: Victoria Greene, the MA’s executive director for the last decade, has submitted her resignation, effective Thursday, August 24. “You’ve been invaluable to us, and we wish you all the best,” said president Charlene Nagel. Greene has held the position of ED since 2007 and was a Land Use Consultant for the Association for two years prior to her hiring. She tells us she plans to volunteer for some nonprofits, in an effort to find the right fit for her next career move.

“I want to be involved in an organization that supports underserved populations,” she said. “It’s been a pleasure to work with all of you, and I will miss you! But I’m looking forward to the next chapter,” she said.

The MA’s Executive Committee will look into hiring a new leader for the organization, while office coordinator Susan Robles will continue to support the MA. “We are dedicated to finding the right person who is qualified to replace Victoria,” Nagel said. A reception will be held for Greene later this month.

Harry Kolb, who updated the board on the happenings of the Transportation Committee, said the committee is staying on top of several traffic issues, including bicycle issues on Sheffield Drive, line-of-sight concerns at Sheffield and East Valley Road, and the proposed roundabout at San Ysidro Road.

“What we learned from our last Transportation Committee meeting is that we absolutely need more community input on the roundabouts,” Kolb said, referring to a meeting in July in which more than 30 members of the community, many from the Hedgerow neighborhood, came out to hear a presentation by Public Works’s Transportation deputy director Chris Sneddon. Many neighbors cited safety issues with a roundabout at San Ysidro and North Jameson, voicing concerns over pedestrians attempting to traverse the roundabout with strollers, children, and dogs. Neighbors also question the need for the roundabout in general, given that much of the traffic at the intersection is predictable due to school and church times.

“The traffic problems at San Ysidro go way back,” said former board member Darlene Bierig, who was sitting in the audience. “This has

nothing to do with the problems on Coast Village Road, and the traffic was an issue long before the closure of the southbound freeway entrance at Cabrillo Blvd,” she said. “Thirty people do not represent the community, and I live in the Hedgerow,” she said.

Greene reiterated that the MA has not taken a position on what the improvements need to be at San Ysidro Road; the organization has advocated that the intersection needs to be looked at as part of the Highway 101 widening. “I think one of the most significant issues will be the sequencing of the freeway widening in relation to the parallel projects at Olive Mill, San Ysidro, and Cabrillo Boulevard,” Greene said.

The MA encourages anyone interested in hearing more about the roundabouts to attend next week’s Montecito Planning Commission hearing on August 16. (See below for more information).

The next Montecito Association meeting is Tuesday, September 12, at 4 pm.

More Break-ins In Montecito & Carpinteria

Earlier this week, another business was burglarized on Coast Village Road: The Cottage at 1213 Coast Village Road, which is a children’s boutique located in the former home of Gaspar Jewelers.

The burglary occurred between the hours of 3 and 4 am on August 7, and cash, the cash register, and two laptops were stolen. Because the investigation is still ongoing, further details were not being released.

to arrest the four subjects for commercial burglary.

Two of the suspects were 17-yearold juveniles from Long Beach. The juveniles were both booked at Santa Maria Juvenile Detention Facility. The other two adult suspects, Colby Penn (18) and Rodney Shorter (18) from Long Beach, were booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail.

It was unclear as of press time whether the Coast Village Road burglary and Carpinteria burglaries are connected.

Traffic Updates

Since publishing our cover story on Coast Village Road traffic in last week’s edition (“We Can Fix This,” MJ #23/31), we have heard from several readers and business owners lamenting the traffic and agreeing that now is the time to make changes to help alleviate the problem, or at the very least make the road less dangerous for pedestrians and patrons.

Since our story, there have been reports of at least two accidents: one between a driver backing out of a parking space and being rear-ended by a driver using the parking zone as a way to circumvent the line of cars on Coast Village Road, and another between two cars waiting to turn right from the south end of Coast Village Circle onto Coast Village Road. A witness to that accident reported that the driver at fault was looking down at her cell phone when she rear-ended the car in front of her.

A meeting to discuss traffic woes is in the works; Coast Village Association has reached out to the City Transportation manager, City manager, and two City councilmembers to discuss potential solutions.

AUGUST 11

Sheriff’s deputy assigned to the Coastal Patrol Bureau was on routine patrol in the Summerland area. While conducting a check of businesses on Santa Claus Lane, he heard the sound of an audible alarm coming from the Padaro Beach Grill, located in the 3700 block of Santa Claus Lane. The deputy then discovered forced entry into the business’s front door. As other deputies were responding and setting up a perimeter, Sheriff’s Dispatch received a report of a burglary in progress in the City of Carpinteria. A witness stated he heard glass breaking and an alarm going off at Taco Grande, located in the 1000 block of Casitas Pass Road. Two subjects were observed running from the business; they got into a vehicle in the parking lot and quickly sped away.

At 3:09 am, a deputy on perimeter at the Padaro Grill business witnessed a silver Nissan Altima, with four subjects inside, exit the northbound Highway 101 off ramp, at Santa Claus Lane, and drive toward his location.

When the subjects saw the deputy, they immediately accelerated and drove past him at a high rate of speed toward the Santa Claus Lane, southbound Highway 101 entrance.

A description of the suspects’ vehicle and direction of travel was broadcast to surrounding agencies.

At 3:39 am, Ventura Police Department officers located a vehicle matching the description of the vehicle in question in the City of Ventura. SBSO deputies responded to the scene and were able to identify the vehicle and occupants as the vehicle that sped away from the deputy on Santa Claus Lane. After further investigation, along with evidence located at both burglary locations, and evidence discovered inside the vehicle, deputies had probable cause

The City’s Police Department Traffic sergeant has also agreed to send police motorcycles to Coast Village, to issue citations several days in a row.

Next week, Montecito Planning Commission is holding a special meeting to discuss the other major traffic news in Montecito: the “parallel” projects on local streets related to the widening of Highway 101.

As seen in on our cover story two weeks back (“‘Round & ‘Round We

Go,” MJ #23/30), the most pressing of these projects include two roundabouts slated for the intersections at Olive Mill/Coast Village Road and San Ysidro Road/North Jameson.

The meeting will include a briefing from County staff, questions from the planning commissioners, and public comments.

The briefing is scheduled for 9 am on Wednesday, August 16, at 123 East Anapamu Street.

exchanges but have not yet enrolled. Another 5.4 million are ineligible due to their immigration status. Covered California (Medi-Cal) insures illegals on the same basis as legal citizens, but other states do not. Another 5.6 million uninsured have incomes that exceed the Medicaid eligibility requirements and have chosen to pay their own bills rather than purchase any form of insurance.

Santa Barbara County, with an aggressive ObamaCare exchange program, has dropped its uninsured population to roughly 5% of its 445,000 residents, an all-time low and well below the national average. More than half of those are eligible for subsidized ObamaCare coverage but have failed to enroll.

Deciphering ObamaCare

The “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,” often shortened to the “Affordable Care Act (ACA) or “ObamaCare” was passed without a single Republican vote and signed into law by president Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. It is a joint federal-state program aimed at making all uninsured U.S. residents buy healthcare insurance or pay a penalty. Because of administrative hiccups and computer glitches, the first enrollees did not join ObamaCare until the 2014-15 enrollment window. The key features and requirements of ObamaCare are summarized below: Individual Mandate Everyone not covered by an employer healthcare plan, or a government plan such as Medicare or Medicaid; or a purchased individual healthcare plan, must buy ObamaCare coverage through an exchange or pay a fine or a tax penalty.

Employer Mandate Any employer with more than 50 workers who does not offer a private health insurance plan to its full-time workers must enroll in ObamaCare or pay a tax penalty. Certain small businesses enrolling in ObamaCare are entitled to receive tax credits of up to 50% of their premiums.

Tiered Rate Plans Four levels of ObamaCare pricing plans are offered: “bronze” plans offer the lowest premiums and the highest out-of-pocket costs, followed by silver, gold, and platinum.

When a loved one is struggling with memory decline and can no longer safely reside at home, turn to a caring and trusted resource…Villa Alamar.

Alzheimer & Dementia Assisted Living

Essential Benefit Package Benefits of ObamaCare coverage include ambulance services, emergency medical services, hospitalization, maternity and newborn care, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, prescription drugs, rehab services, lab services, preventive and wellness services, chronic disease management, pediatrics including dental and visual care. Young adults can stay on their parents’ policy until age 26.

Pre-existing Conditions ObamaCare mandates that its private insurers accept all applicants for “essential health benefits” regardless of pre-existing conditions. Premiums must be the same for everyone of the same age.

Lifetime Limits There are no lifetime maximum dollar limits on the amount that an insurer pays an individual for healthcare during the lifetime of that patient.

Coverage for Illegal Immigrants The nation’s 12 million illegal immigrants are theoretically ineligible for ObamaCare premium subsidies, but in practice, liberal states such as California treat legal citizens and illegal immigrants alike.

ObamaCare Premiums, Deductibles, and Co-Pays In 2017, ObamaCare plans face premium increases on average of 21%. The average premium for a 30-year-old is $365 per month, rising to $872 for a 60-year-old. For a non-smoking ObamaCare patient plan in 2017, the maximum allowable deductible and co-pay is $7,150 for self-only coverage and $14,300 for families.

Premium Subsidies Individuals and families with incomes up to four times the poverty level are eligible for a tax subsidy to reduce, or pay the cost, of premiums. As of March 2016, 85% of all those enrolled in the exchanges received subsidies.

New ObamaCare Taxes High-income individuals earning more than $200,000 per year (or $250,000 for married couples) are paying a new surtax of 0.9% to help cover the costs of ObamaCare. There is also a surtax on capital gains, interest, annuities, net rents, and dividends for households who earn more than $200,000/$250,000.

Insurers participating in the exchanges paid $16.3 billion in new excise taxes, or 17% of all excise taxes collected. Excise taxes of $3 billion were imposed on manufacturers of prescription drugs. There is also an excise tax of 2.3% on the sale of all medical devices, and a “scorching” 10% tax on tanning salons. In addition, there is a 40% “Cadillac Tax” on employer healthcare plans where premiums are in excess of $10,200 per individual or $27,000 per family.

What Now?

Reforming a healthcare system that consumes 17.8% of the nation’s GDP is not easy. The challenge is to make it simpler and more affordable for more people, without destroying the finest medical system in the world.

Training While Injured

W

e talk a lot about fitness here at the Front, but we’ve yet to address the role it plays when recuperating from an injury.

From wounds and broken bones to muscle, ligament, and tendon tears, a fit body is a body that heals well; returning to good health is a lesser battle if your physical conditioning is optimum in the first place.

Additionally, with a physician’s okay, exercising throughout your recovery will help speed up healing as low-impact activity ensures your blood stays well-oxygenated, your muscles stay strong, and your heart remains healthy.

Injury is almost synonymous with tissue inflammation, so it’s good to know several group studies have shown that consistent, moderate exercise reduces systemic markers of inflammation in individuals 60+ with little exception. The C-reactive protein (CRP) produced by the liver that increases inflammation in the body was proven to be lower in the bodies of active people, provided the weekly expenditure of energy through exercise measured between 350 to 1,050.

Apparently, working out ramps up the immune system by prompting the release of cytokines. These anti-inflammatory proteins improve the ability of cells to signal for help building and repairing tissue.

But don’t go too hard.

Your exercise rate should stay within the 40-percent range of your maximal oxygen uptake to ensure the level of cortisol in your blood isn’t significantly increased, as this stress hormone secreted by the adrenal gland can cause inflammation. Within the lower spectrum, however, your circulating cortisol can actually be reduced.

Some activities can be modified to make concessions for your impairment, after ascertaining such modified movement is medically safe. Injury aside, sound parts of your body can

Rotator Cuff Recovery

Tears, strains, and sprains of muscles and connective tissue are setbacks athletes frequently experience.

Consider the example of dance instructor Suesan Pawlitski. Her story of recovery is inspirational. “There have been many times in recent years that I have been very grateful I exercise,” she says, “but recovering from rotator-cuff surgery was a real eye-opener.

I realized that I needed strength and agility in many other parts of my body to compensate for the loss of use of an arm for several weeks. My rehabilitation went smoothly because my muscles knew how to recover from breaking down. And at sixty-two, I can’t imagine my life without moving every day.”

On His Knee

still be exercised during recuperation.

If your leg is broken, for example, you can concentrate on upper-body workouts such as light weight-lifting and resistance training, or if it’s reversed, you can still work the muscles in your legs.

Aerobic activity and weightlifting lend themselves to bone regeneration because they stress muscle and bone when practiced. A stimulated bone emits calcium, as well as an energizing nucleotide known as ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). Supplying cells with energy that precedes glycolysis, this dual emission helps trigger the formation of new bone tissue. Additionally, it’s important to remember osteoclasts continue to harden and remodel your bone for

months to come, and judicious activity aids this process.

And then there’s Chris Ecklund’s journey back from partial tears of the right lateral collateral (LCL), and anterior cruciate (ACL), part of a group of ligaments that operate the knee.

The kinesiology master, and owner/ operator of Prevail conditioning, was frank when asked to relate his story: “Approximately seven years ago,” he recounts, “while playing soccer with a group of friends, one of the players on the other team accidentally kicked the back of my foot mid-stride. The contact threw me into excessive extension immediately before impact with the ground and led to a hyperextension and rotation of my tibia, causing partial tears to both my LCL and ACL on my right leg.” After a clear diagnosis that the tear was not complete on the ACL or LCL, Chris rested, iced, and compressed for one week and didn’t train his right leg but did continue strength training every other part of his body. “After one week,” he continues, “I began working on stability and basic range motion patterns. Over the course of the next three months, I was able to regain strength and stability through corrective strength and progressive reactive/power exercises to normal function.” After five to six months, his knee was strong enough to play most sports.

“Listen to Your Body”

That’s a sentiment echoed by professional runner Ricky Ho. As a master runner (40+), he says he no longer felt the same as he did in his 30s. “I don’t back-to-back race anymore,” he explains, “since I need more time to recover.” His advice: “Listen to your body. No one knows its strengths and limitations better than you.” Ricky then suggests, “If you don’t feel your body is ready, don’t push it. Get back too soon, and re-injury will make it worse.”

Rest. Bodies need time to recover and they take longer as one gets older.

“Keep active,” Ho suggests. “I do occasionally swim when recuperating from an injury. Swimming is a very low-impact sport, and a great substitute for running.”

Training Smart

Preventive measures are always wise. You can avoid injury altogether if you train smart. Just ask Tyler Hansen, an elite runner who competes at the national level and states that he has had only one injury in the last nine years of running. “I believe I haven’t really had to deal with injury issues because when I start training,” he says, “I gradually build up my mileage so that I don’t overdo what my body can handle. I make sure to listen to my body, so I may take a rest day (no running) if I feel like that would be beneficial. The next thing is having good running form, which is crucial when you think about how much force is put on your joints while running.

“To go along with that,” Tyler continues, “you want to make sure you have good equipment, so go to a local running store, such as Santa Barbara Running to get the right shoe for you.

After running a race, such as a marathon, which puts a lot of stress on your body, I make sure to take time off to allow my body to heal before getting back to training.”

Listening to your body’s cues is tried and true, but if you do find yourself injured, staying fit while recuperating isn’t just possible, it’s helpful to the process. Talk to your doctor and find out what you can safely do to maintain your fitness and recover quickly.

ENTERTAINMENT (Continued from page 17)

But it really worked. I had tears in my eyes watching men cry listening to the music.

Several years ago, you created a school for mentoring others, and now there’s an online course for under $100 where you give away your secrets, including lifetime access to your technique. Why is that important?

I didn’t have a formal education.

Just two piano lessons. So many people were willing to share their knowledge with me. Most of what I know I learned by doing it. I never had to articulate or even think about it. The producer and director made me do it over and over and be clearer. It comes from the time when a George Martin or Stanley Meyers would explain music and orchestras and producing to me. It just seemed obvious to carry on that idea. I have no secrets. The whole point of inventing something new is that whatever we did last week isn’t a secret. Just put it out there and if someone takes an idea and does something better, it just drives the whole art form forward.

Choreographer Weare Serves Metaphorical Dinner

Now that their collaboration has begun, it seems strange that no one previously put together Kate Weare, the New York contemporary choreographer with a background and interest in tango, with Esteban Moreno, the artistic director of Union Tanguera who is an authentic Argentine Tango master. The mashup comes courtesy of Santa Barbara DANCEworks, the nine-year-old annual residency dance program in the Lobero, and just minutes after concluding day one of her monthlong stay, Weare waxed enthusiastically about her decision to dive deep into tango, an art form she said has long influenced how she thinks about partnering in creating contemporary dance.

“I’m anthropologically carnivorous,” she said. “I absorb influences from whatever I study, including forms that come out of bodily experiences from really different environmental and cultural influences. I’m fascinated by how human beings use their bodies to interpret the world.”

It was her idea to use her DANCEworks residency to explore the nexus with tango via Moreno, who she called “a phenomenal dancer who wants to sink his teeth into challenging material. I kept throwing new things at him today and he just took them all on. He’s a movement eater.”

Kate Weare Company + Union Tanguera will perform at the Lobero on September 1-2. But there are four 10 – 17 August 2017

leads. Thryn (Saxon, one of the two Weare dancers accompanying her for the residency) ended up on the ground doing contact work rolling over herself. On its own in a contemporary approach, that would be boring. But we stuck it underneath the scene of a tango couple, passing the energy back and forth, bashing into them or getting redirected, in strange juxtapositions. That’s where I’m starting, just with seeing movement differently.

What do you envision happening on the Friday night open rehearsals?

I’m sure we’ll have bits of phrases to show by this week. I spend a lot of time in the beginning developing leads, which are like tributaries where I can build meaning. So, we’ll show some of those. It’s like mining for gold, places where you’ll dive deeper.

Call 963-0761 or visit www.lobero. com.

Q. What was your interest in exploring the intersection of your contemporary dance and tango?

A. I’ve always been completely obsessed with the issues within relationship and how to express them through dance, where autonomy ends and where merging begins.

How can you can be in a relationship with someone, mediating self, but not lose yourself? That question is common between my work and tango as a form. Tango has an internal organic logic, which I think can push my voice farther. There’s a level of wisdom inside of it that will be powerful for me. Back when I danced tango, I experienced that it makes sense for the human body, and for the psychology, specifically between men and women, which is very fraught and potent. Tango distills that struggle into an artistic form.... I’ve also always been a willful and aggressive girl. That quality has been present in my work, but tango requires you to listen. You have to yield in order to communicate. (Laughs). So, I think it will be a pathway to grapple with my own need for control.

Just the title of the piece you are developing – “Sin Salida/In Love I Broke Beyond” – is pretty darn interesting.

Yeah, the Spanish means “No exit”

– meaning how in tango you cannot leave the embrace. It’s not tango otherwise. For me, it’s a metaphor for being in connection. Within the context of my own life, being married with a young child, I’ve been thinking a lot about how to be in connection. How do you hear another and stay connected to self at the same time? Is it possible to break beyond, to come into the fullness of yourself within a relationship?

How are you meshing your individual styles to create a singular piece?

Esteban usually works through narrative, using a theatrical framework with a premise. But I want the movement to lead us. It’s hard for me to pin down what we’ll be saying yet. Just today, we went into eight different directions with physical

Do you like to interact with audiences, and is the feedback helpful?

I tend to be pretty myopic or inviolable for the first couple of weeks, stay underneath my own awareness of what audiences will eventually see. It’s like being both innocent and invulnerable. For a while, I don’t want to worry about what’s being communicated or how it’s perceived and just follow my instincts and curiosities. Later on, I’ll get into looking at what is getting through versus being too obscure. But in the beginning, to make something that holds my own interests, I have to focus on what my eye wants to watch. But it will be interesting to me if the audience can tell which dancers are which – the tango dancers or my contemporary ones. Will they be able to discern the difference?

Oprah Winfrey has spoken about what motivates her to keep control of her weight.

The TV mogul, whose yo-yo weight is as famous as her business acumen and media prowess, says it’s all about maintaining her health.

“For your heart to pump, pump, pump, pump, its needs the least amount of weight possible to do that,” Oprah, 63, tells The New York Times Magazine.

“I can’t accept myself if I’m over 200 pounds, because it’s too much work on my heart.”

She says she no longer diets, rather focusing on “mindful eating.”

And the reason she cannot accept herself when she is too heavy is because she can’t allow herself to put her health in jeopardy.

“Being overweight causes high blood pressure for me. It puts me at risk for diabetes, because I have diabetes in my family.”

Oprah makes a distinction between accepting yourself – which she says people “should, 100 percent” – and accepting an unhealthy way of life.

She spoke to the Times as part of an article about obesity and Weight Watchers, in which she purchased a 10-percent stake in 2015.

She is also a pitch woman for the dieting program appearing in commercials and promotions.

Rudy Geyling, son of Rescue Mission head Rolf, dies at age 8

On a personal note, I mark the all too early passing of Rudy Geyling at the age of 8 after suffering from hypoplastic syndrome, a complex and rare congenital condition that affects blood flow through the heart, since birth.

Having volunteered regularly at the Rescue Mission for more than a decade, I knew Rudy, son of the mission’s head honcho Rolf Geyling, from his very early days with his loving family, mom Trish, and his brothers Max and Wilson and sister Olivia, as he dealt with his dire condition.

I last saw him, as cheerful as ever in his wheelchair, at the charity’s July 4 barbecue.

“Rudy will be remembered more for his ability to overcome limitations and embrace life with joy and abandon,” says Rolf. “Against a backdrop of uncertainty, heartbreak, and occasional terror, Rudy’s life gave us glimpses of God’s goodness and beauty we never conceived this world could hold.”

Tripti’s Trip through Mindfulness

T

ripti Mahendra’s Introductory Training in Mindfulness: A 3-Week Journey comes to Yoga Soup this week. It’s the latest offering from Mahendra, who began teaching yoga in 2008 after 18 years in corporate life after completing a 200hour training at White Lotus in Santa Barbara, followed by a 700-hour, graduate-level training with Sarah and Ty Powers. The course is a progression through the essential areas for mindful attention and investigation – including embodiment, breathing, and working with difficult emotions and thoughts – to achieve such benefits as stress reduction, increased self-awareness, easing chronic pain, boosting immunity, deeper sleep, and shifting the relationship to negative emotions. The classes meet twice a week, from 7 to 8:30 pm on Mondays & Wednesdays, August 14-30. While the course is offered as a whole and cannot be taken as individual units, an audio-only recording of each class can be requested if you have to miss a session. Fee: $175. Info at www.yoga soup.com.

Somatic Seminar

Later in the month, and also at Yoga Soup, Suzanne Marlow and Emily Fleck, who are both LMFTs, will teach Somatic Group Therapy Through a Mindful Perspective. The method comes from the perspective that to truly know ourselves, we need to be aware of what we are thinking, feeling, and sensing in our own bodies.

When we process our embodied states and experiences with others (verbally and nonverbally), we can develop the capacity for mindfulness, self-awareness, and empathy, as well as the ability to understand our relationships with others and the world.

The six-week course will take participants through an exploration of their lived bodily experiences, incorporating yoga, experiential exer-

Retreat and Sculpt Your Spiritual Masterpiece

Meanwhile, over at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center, UCLA-trained mindfulness facilitator Barbara Rose Sherman conducts a Women’s Health and Wellness Afternoon Retreat on Saturday, August 12. The “Cultivating Mindfulness” gathering invites participants to “create your most beautiful you in mind, body and spirit” via an afternoon of healing restorative yoga, mindfulness practices, meditation, and discussion. The goal is to uncover the spiritual masterpiece within, by chipping away – a la the creation of Michelangelo’s David – at what doesn’t serve: the emotional tension, stress, fatigue, and illness that diminish our radiance and peace. The nourishing afternoon takes place 12:30 to 3:30 pm, and the $70 fee includes lunch and snacks. Call 965-6045 or visit www.santabarbarayogacenter. com/workshops.

Meditation Basics

Coming up at Santa Barbara Yoga Center is Jivana Heyman’s basics of meditation course, featuring a variety of meditation techniques including mindfulness, breath, and mantra.

Participants will also explore breathing practices, which prepare the mind for meditation by calming the nervous

system, as well as guided meditation (yoga nidra) and imagery. The goal of the course is to introduce newbies to the power of the practice, and to aid in creating a regular home practice.

Absolutely no experience in meditation required. The course takes place 7 to 8:15 pm on Tuesdays, August 22-September 12, and is available on a drop-in basis for $25 per night, or $90 for the full course.

Free Yoga

Next Saturday, August 19, brings Cory Sipper’s monthly free Fundamentals of Yoga class to the Yoga Center. The two-hour intensive is geared toward beginning students who would like to learn the basics before attending an ongoing class, while also serving any yoga student seeking a brush-up on the foundational concepts of the practice. Emphasis is given to the synchronization of breath and movement, and to the understanding of the basic yoga postures, including their effect and correct alignment. The class takes place 2 to 4 pm and repeats each month (next session: October 14).

You, Me, and We

Up at La Casa de Maria’s Center for Spiritual Renewal in the hills of Montecito, prolific meditation guide and new author Radhule Weininger teams up with friend and frequent collaborator Marjorie Schuman – a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in mindfulness-informed psychodynamic/relational psychotherapy who also co-founded The Center for Mindfulness and Psychotherapy in Santa Monica – to offer I and Thou: Living Authentically with Self and Other. The partial silent retreat grounded in Buddhist mindfulness practice will explore what it means to relate to our world from a sense of true self. Using mindfulness, contemplative reflection, and compassion meditations, we will inquire into the false selves we hold onto out of

Cold Comfort

A

mong modern wonders we take for granted are machines to keep indoor air cool when it’s hot outside, and machines to keep our food cool when it’s warm inside.

How did people ever live without these benefits?

I spent five years of my childhood in Washington, D.C., where summers are notoriously hot and humid. Our apartment had a refrigerator, but we never had air-conditioning. Yet strangely, I have no memory of suffering in the hot weather. Quite possibly, children become more easily “acclimatized.”

Cold weather, for me, however, is another story. I was 12 when we moved from the U.S. back to England, whose damp chilly winters are a byword for discomfort, especially among American visitors. My own chief misery was chilblains – an itchy skin condition I’d never known before, but which became as much an unwanted visitor every winter as hay fever was in summer.

The coldest winter I ever spent, however, was in Bend, Oregon, where I had my first college teaching job after four years getting a doctorate at Berkeley. It was there that I learned a bitter lesson – concerning an unexpected hazard. I was living alone in a small, rented one-bedroom cottage, which seemed pleasant when I arrived in September, although its only substantial heating was provided by one wood-burning stove.

But I had lived only in temperate climates, and winter in that part of Oregon brought weather far colder than I’d ever experienced – sometimes down to 18 or 20 degrees below zero.

I didn’t know how to keep my stove burning all night – and one morning awoke to find everything about me literally frozen. The dishes, which I had left in the sink, were encased in solid ice, with a column of ice connecting them to the dribbling faucet.

The toilet was totally frozen up. My

car wouldn’t start. The warmest place inside the house – in fact, the only place where I could put anything to prevent it from freezing – was inside the refrigerator!

My only recourse was to flee. I hitchhiked 820 miles south to Los Angeles and stayed with my parents in their apartment, feeling like a refugee. But then, after Christmas break when I returned to the house in Bend, arriving late one night in early January, I was greeted by a horrible scene. The entire place was flooded!

Nobody had warned me that when you leave a house in freezing weather, you mustn’t leave the pipes full of water, because water expands, when it turns to ice, and will likely crack your pipes. Then, when the thaw comes, all that water will emerge through the cracks.

Fortunately, the water had risen only a few inches, and I hadn’t left many valuable items on the floor, except some books and papers, most of which were salvageable. But that whole scene, and the way I came upon it, late at night, alone, weary after a long day of travel, remains engraved upon my memory as one of the worst moments of my life.

Its consequences were also momentous. Not only must I move immediately, but I realized that I could never settle happily in that area and would

have to find a whole new life somewhere else.

Still, in subsequent years, I haven’t shrunk from relatively brief visits to notoriously cold places, especially during their warmest seasons. In fact, Dorothy and I have ventured both up into the Arctic, and down into Antarctic. The Arctic trip came about after we found we had an old friend living in Barrow, on Alaska’s north coast. We flew there in one day from Santa Barbara – and possibly our most dramatic experience occurred when, just after arriving, we were taken to the icy beach, to join what seemed to be most of the community, who were excitedly engaged in cutting up a small (but to us huge) whale, which had washed up or somehow been brought ashore.

For the rest of our several days in Barrow, that creature was being eaten with great gusto at most of the meals we attended.

We went to the Antarctic on a ship commissioned by the Smithsonian.

Most shore visits were to research stations and penguin “rookeries.”

Two things I learned: (1) at summer’s height, it can be warm enough down there for the scientists to go about barefoot outdoors, wearing just flipflops; and (2) penguins are fun to look at, and to walk among, but the smell of those rookeries is AWFUL! •MJ

In order to be considered for inclusion in this calendar, information must be submitted no later than noon on the Wednesday eight days prior to publication date. Please send all news releases and digital artwork to slibowitz@yahoo.com)

ENDING THIS WEEK Ventura County Fair – Sure, you could take the two-hour-plus drive up the 101 to the somehow always simultaneously steamy and windy Paso Robles for the much larger MidState Fair, which books a few big-name acts each summer. Or you can just take the quick 20-minute ride in the other direction to the first exit in Ventura for Seaside Park, home of the annual 10-day fair that dwarfs our own Santa Barbara Fair held each April. There’s a big carnival with scads of games and rides, all sorts of exhibitions from animals to plants to fish to artwork, livestock demos and competitions, activities halls and a huge commercial marketplace. Plus, the concerts and other entertainment in the Grandstand Arena are included at no additional cost beyond entry to the fairgrounds – and there’s fireworks every night just before closing. Still to come before the 142nd Ventura County Fair, with the theme “Rooted in Tradition”, closes up shop are Gabriel Iglesias’s “FluffyMania” 20 Years of Comedy Tour (7:30 pm, Thursday, August 10), country superstar Wynonna and her band The Big Noise (7:30 pm, Friday, August 11), and the P.R.C.A.

The private campground hosts local blues, jazz, and bluegrass bands weekly on the expansive field by a stream, where canyon guests and visitors gather to hear the sounds as the sun sets.

The Summer Concert Series starts at 7 pm each Saturday, with the music lasting until 9 pm – or maybe a bit longer if the mood strikes. On the schedule for the final four weeks of 2017 are some Santa Barbara stalwarts, including Latin funk favorites The Bomb this Saturday (August 12) and the American roots rock/rockabilly revival trio Cadillac Angels (August 19). Feel free to bring lawn chairs and blankets and a picnic dinner, or El Cap’s famous fireside barbecue dinner, served 6 to 8 pm, is available at $20 for adults, $14 for children. Reservations recommended, as the concerts are known to sell out.

This week (August 10): Area 51, one of the longest-lasting and still most popular dance party bands blends funk, pop, and rock ‘n’ roll to keep bodies in motion under the stars. Next week (August 17): The series comes a close with the make-good date for the Rachel Thurstonled dance band King Bee, whose show in early July was postponed due to smoke and ash from the Whittier Fire. The local food trucks First & Oak will be selling tasty bites at the entrance, but feel free to bring a picnic, though no outside alcohol or pets are allowed. Chairs and blankets may be set out on the beautiful grounds on site any time after noon on concert day. WHEN: 5:30 to 7:30 pm WHERE: 304 N.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 10 TED Talk Thursdays – TEDxSantaBarbara and Impact Hub Funk Zone are coming together to create a monthly series of networking and viewing gatherings to spark curiosity and conversation beyond one’s areas of expertise. TED Talks have become famous for providing inspirational ideas and concepts that are spread around the world.

The idea is to explore new ideas and topics outside your realm of knowledge in a way that has no greater intentions other than learning itself. Now, TED Talk Thursdays will serve as an opportunity to spend time watching talks on a variety of subjects, and engaging in discussions following the screened presentations, which will cover such areas as the ocean, social justice, and innovation. The first viewing party takes place tonight down in the Funk Zone, and includes time for networking, the screening, and conversation.

EVENTS

by Steven Libowitz

FRIDAY, AUGUST 11 A Finn State of Affairs – Is there any doubt that Hale Milgrim should go down in history as among the Top 10 pop music fans – if not the greatest of them all – in Santa Barbara’s history? The former record company exec who rose to the presidency of Capitol (and got his start in an Isla Vista record store) has done nothing but pay it forward since returning to town following his retirement from the biz, helping to create Sings Like Hell and serving on the Santa Barbara Bowl board. But nothing demonstrates his devotion as a fan as much as the series of film clips culled and carefully curated from his private collection, plus some commercially available footage that he curates and presents with fascinating insider stories on an ongoing basis at the Lobero. Tonight’s second installment of the second series of the Go To Hale Film Series 2 focuses on Neil Finn, the brilliant founder/frontman of Crowded House, showcasing the 7 Worlds Collide / The Sun Came Out concert films.

Appearing on film from the 2001 piece are Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien and Phil Selway, Pearl Jame’s Eddie Vedder, Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, Glenn Kotche, John Stirratt and Pat Sansone, plus KT Tunstall, Neil’s brother Tim, and many others. The second half of the show features Milgrim’s (should-be) patented Quips and Clips, boasting seldom seen footage of a few favored artists from early in their careers, likely this time including Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, the Wailers, The Who, Randy Newman and others, along with the Milgrim’s memorable insights, commentary and illumination. Synchronicity has smiled on Milgrim for this latest show, as Finn is currently offering a series of his own this month in which he is letting fans watch in real time as he and his colleagues record a brand-new album. The live stream (at midnight our time on Finn’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/neilmullanefinn) lets fans follow the progress of new song arrangements building toward the last stream on August 25, which will be the actual recording of his new solo album, which will then be mixed, mastered, and released on the following Friday, September 1. Music fan Milgrim, of course, tuned into the first episode, noting in an email that he “watched in amazement at the interplay with the musicians, Skyping with his fans, and having the confidence to work on his new music in his home recording studio in Auckland in front of the world.” As always, proceeds from the show and memorabilia sales benefit live music at the Lobero. WHEN: 6:57 pm WHERE: 33 East Canon Perdido St. COST: $17.50 INFO: 963-0761 or www.lobero.com THURSDAY, AUGUST 10 Hacking the Craft – UCSB’s Art, Design & Architecture Museum (ADAM) gets down to the “knitty-gritty” with this afternoon’s workshop. The deep dive involves binary code, critical making, and the social media of knitting, though all skill levels are welcome, and materials will be provided in the workshop taught by Alanna Bartolini, a Ph.D .candidate in English. Coming next week is the launching of the second annual UCSB Summer Music Festival, a three-day affair that features contemporary, world, classical, and folk music performances all around the campus. The museum hosts the first event with Los Angeles-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Tholl, a UCSB faculty member, and his friends, who will present a concert of experimental, improvised music from 3:30 to 4:30 pm

SATURDAY, AUGUST 12 Downbeats Downtown – Latin jazz composer/ percussionist Luis Munoz has received increasingly glowing reviews for each successive album, with the current carefully crafted offering, The Dead Man, being hailed as “a triumph of consummate musicianship and the spirit of innovation unleashed.” The longtime Santa Barbara-based musician brought his trio – featuring fellow local stalwarts Daniel Zimmerman on guitars and Brendan Statom on stand-up bass – to SOhO for the official CD release party in April, then played the tiny instrument-lined space known as the Piano Kitchen just last weekend. Tonight, we get to see the trio at the Mercury Lounge, the darkly lit uptown chic bar in downtown Goleta, for what is billed as an early birthday bash. Apparently, we’re getting the gifts.

For his current tour, which includes a stop at the Lobero tonight, the high-pitched McMorrow – perhaps best known in the U.S. for his cover of Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” that was used in the trailer for Season 6 of HBO’s Game of Thrones – is playing his new album, True Care, released in May, complete and in track order before offering a set spanning his career to date.

Both encourage children to participate through creative dance, music, drama, art, and story-telling. The latest work from Putnam – who has taught art, music, and dance to children and the elderly for four decades and is the founder of “Art from the Heart with Karen” – is about how the world changes after three dancing paintbrushes meet in a music class and learn the importance of sharing.... More recent Santa Barbara resident Britta Gudmunson comes to Chaucer’s to sign her new book Eat Here Now, her bite-sized guide to ritualize your life, nourish your body, and feed your spirit. The collection of easily digestible essays from the recently certified eating coach who also teaches yoga offers daily practices for a more conscious approach to eating via committing to the plate as a place of worship to cultivate joy, gratitude, and lasting presence.

Real Estate

by Mark Ashton Hunt

Mark and his wife, Sheela Hunt, are real estate agents. His family goes back nearly 100 years in the Santa Barbara area. Mark’s grandparents – Bill and Elsie Hunt – were Santa Barbara real estate brokers for 25 years.

Four with a Little Something More

T

here are many reasons why someone might choose to live in Montecito; the weather, proximity to the beach, hiking, lovely garden properties, ocean views, quaint shops and fine dining, not to mention close proximity to Santa Barbara and Los Angeles just 90 minutes away. While many are looking for that classic Spanish or Mediterranean style, others may prefer a modern design or a ranch-style home.

What follows are a handful of homes that offer something special, unique, or different. While one may want ocean views, another may prefer a historic home on multiple acres or a compound with multiple structure. So here are a few very different properties to choose from:

615 Hot Springs Road: $4,585,000

The things that make this property unique are its multiple structures, built around a private yard and 40-foot swimming pool and spa. The home sits in a prime location, within minutes of local restaurants, shopping, hiking trails, and the beach.

Designed in the California Ranch Style, the main residence was constructed in 2008 and has a dramatic open-floor plan with high-vaulted ceilings, French doors, and bright skylights. The kitchen features a large island, top-quality appliances, and custom Alder Wood cabinets. The main house has two bedrooms and three baths, two interior fireplaces plus two outside fireplaces and patio areas.

A second structure provides two additional bedrooms with an adjoining bath for family members or guests. This same structure also offers a private office plus another large room (20 x 40) suitable for a studio or game room.

Additionally, there is a pool cabana and two-car garage. Attractive landscaping and an orchard of peaches, plums, apples, and citrus trees surround the 1.09 +/- acre property.

In the front yard is a small well house that dates back to 1895 and a high-capacity cistern used for water storage during the rainy season.

945 Park Lane: $7,950,000

This home is all about the jaw-dropping unobstructed ocean and island views, from the Santa Barbara harbor down to Ventura and beyond. The property is located at the top of Park Lane, up a shared roadway with a private gated drive.

The impressive Mediterranean estate features light-filled interiors, fine finishes and details, a luxurious master suite, media room, and more. There is a lower-level guesthouse adjacent to the pool, spa, manicured gardens and grounds, and many entertainment terraces throughout and around the home. Solar panels provide power for the home.

Set on five-plus acres, 945 Park Lane offers 5,500+ square feet of living

36 MONTECITO JOURNAL

space in the main home, including five bedrooms and six bathrooms as advertised. In addition to the views, this home boasts central air conditioning, multiple fireplaces, carpet, stone and hardwood floors, and a shared well.

308 Ennisbrook Drive: $7,955,000

This is a historically significant property with horse facilities, in a close-to-town location, and benefiting from the amenities and security that come with living in Ennisbrook. This property is set on nearly six acres, overlooking the Pacific Ocean and in the shadow of the Santa Ynez Mountains.

Rancho San Leandro reigns over Montecito as it has for nearly 170 years. The compound includes the original Adobe (circa 1850), the 2006 Monterey House, and equestrian facilities. The property boasts ocean and mountain views, and offers the pride of owning a home with historical significance, featuring many modern amenities and conveniences.

Mature gardens, covered verandas and olive groves with more than 6,700 square feet of living space, multiple structures, horse facilities and significant privacy, this is a property that what would be nearly impossible to replicate, considering the setting, history, and current listing price.

Homes in the Ennisbrook community share in the common tennis courts, swimming pool, and clubhouse.

2500 East Valley Road: $85,000,000

This is the most significant estate on the market in Montecito and may be for decades to come. Rancho San Carlos is a 237-acre estate property that for nearly 100 years has been under the ownership of one family.

While it is often said but not always true, however, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a unique property of unprecedented grand scale, exceptional architectural significance, and carrying a prestigious historical significance.

The sprawling hilltop Monterey Colonial manor was designed by noted architect Reginald Johnson in 1931 with an approximately 29,483-sq-ft home as advertised. Johnson also designed the Four Seasons Biltmore Hotel, The Montecito Country Club, and the Santa Barbara Post Office, just to name a few of his accomplishments.

The main residence is comprised of more than 30 rooms and is infused with an atmosphere of sophistication and refinement, representative of the era it was built in. The grand home is astutely sited on two natural terraces, and by planning the formal living rooms around a central courtyard and placing the master and family bedroom wings on the upper terrace, Johnson effectively created a spatial separation that afforded privacy and exceptional views.

Additional features include 10 residential cottages, an office, fruit-producing orchards, and extensive equestrian facilities. More recently offered at $125,000,000 and recently reduced to the current asking price, this is one of the more important listings available anywhere in California.

For more information on any of these listings or to have me arrange a showing with the listing agents, please contact me directly, Mark@Villagesite.com or call/text (805) 698-2174. Please view my website, www.MontecitoBestBuys.com, from which this article is based.
