A Closer Look at Federal Income Taxes

n or before April 15, 141 million U.S. taxpayers voluntarily shipped to Washington an estimated $1.7 trillion in individual income tax dollars, or about half of all federal revenues, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Taxpayers grappled with a federal tax code that is 73,954 pages long, which Albert Einstein called, “the hardest thing in the world to understand.” Today’s federal income tax code is 2,000 times longer than the U.S. Constitution. Originally written by hand on four parchment pages, a pocket-sized printing of the Constitution can run to 17 pages, plus another 17 pages for the 27 Amendments enacted over the last 240 years. This year, 90% of Americans filed electronically (a record high). 88% of filers took the newly increased standard tax deductions rather than itemize. Still, taxpayers spent an estimated 8.1 billion hours filing out their returns at a cost of $194 billion for professional advice. Charlie Brown’s Snoopy had the right idea when he wrote, “Dear IRS: I am writing to you to cancel my subscription. Please remove my name from your mailing list.”

Additional Taxes Galore

In addition to individual income taxes, the federal government collects revenue from a variety of other sources such as payroll taxes to help finance Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment benefits; corporate taxes which in 2018 were set at 21% at the federal level; federal excise taxes levied on activities, such as gasoline, alcohol, or gambling; estate taxes levied over a certain threshold ($11.18 million in 2018); and gift taxes on transfers of property (or money) above $15,000. There are state and local income taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, excise taxes, sin taxes (tobacco, liquor, marijuana), windfall profit taxes, gross receipts

Life in the Fast Lane

ecords galore were broken at the White on the Green Party at Bella Vista, the sprawling Summerland estate of polo playing hotel magnate Pat Nesbitt and his wife, Ursula, to mark the culmination of the United Boys & Girls Club Rally 4 Kids – a 150-mile plus trip with a record 74 cars, including Aston Martins, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and a positive plethora of Porsches, which wended its way along a circuitous route including Malibu and back through the hills of Ojai. The popular six-year-old event, co-chaired by Monte and Maria Wilson, with a record nearly 400 guests, was expected to raise an impressive $300,000 for the nonprofit’s outreach program, which enables youngsters in less-affluent areas to

The Crux of The Crucible

ur production of Robert Ward’s The Crucible (based on the Arthur Miller play) was neither conceived nor performed as a political statement about the times in which we live, but rather focused on the allegorical context of the fallible nature of humankind and finding ultimate redemption: often at a heavy price. That is how our brilliant stage director, Stephanie Havey and I, after many lengthy discussions, chose to present The Crucible this past weekend. Enthusiastic audience feedback confirmed that we met our goal and we are grateful to all who attended, and for our entire Opera Santa Barbara family who brought this message to life. Kostis Protopapas Artistic & General Director Opera Santa Barbara (Editor’s note: Thank you for this important feedback. As we understand it, your letter was prompted by the line of

questioning that our correspondent took, in that he attempted to ascribe contemporary comparisons to Arthur Miller’s 1952 McCarthy-era play. As editors, we constantly strike out most of that kind of thing, but you would – or perhaps you wouldn’t – be surprised to learn that many reviewers and writers find it imperative to promote their political leanings during an interview, whether it be with a rock star or a florist. We believe our Editorial page and the Letters section should be the only place where such issues are voiced. Unless, of course, it is an interview with a politician, or if the subject being interviewed is involved with public policy. – J.B.)

Romantically Sublime

During Great Britain’s Georgian Era, estate landscapes strewn with boulders, clumps of uprooted trees, and crumbling cottages were not dismissed as wastelands devoid of any compositional logic. In their storm-ravaged and dark recesses,

they gave testament to a sense of the Romantic Sublime, or an introspective form of melancholy – a certain Byronic allure. These unfrequented haunts, grottos, and sun-deprived glades offered not only darkness, but also niches for a sagacious sense of solitude. Many estate owners, then, built hermitages, only to discover themselves to be neither particularly contemplative nor sagacious. The obvious solution was to hire an able eremite and plop him down in said venue. Evidently, the tradition has not, as believed, died out. As evidenced by this relatively recent Craig’s List offering: Gentle Lady Seeks Ornamental Hermit Me, a gentlewoman: of good birth and in the bloom of youth, possessed of vast estates and holdings, including a natural cave under a waterfall in the midst of my Edenic gardens, ideal for hermit life, of refined sensibilities and a melancholy disposition. You, an ornamental hermit: not younger than 30, not yet older than 50; possessing a great, grizzled beard; true lover of solitude. The successful candidate shall be provided with books, water, spectacles, a cape, an hourglass, and food from the house. Terms of the Agreement include seven years of service, during which you shall not:

Cut your hair or beard, trim your nails, bathe, leave the premises of the hermitage, accept money from my gentle guests. Duties shall include: reminding all passersby of our shared mortality; living most simply, as our forefathers did; serving as occasional bartender at fêtes and balls. An etching of our last hermit is provided for your reference. Your response is kindly requested. James N. Powell Montecito

Cognitive Dissonance

The Santa Barbara Sentinel “An Independent Mind” columnist Jeffrey Harding’s article on “How to Have a Closed Mind” defines cognitive dissonance thusly: “The result is that we can hold two or more contradictory beliefs at the same time. What an amazing, singularly human trait. One would think that would drive us nuts. And it sort of does: the “mental discomfort” it causes is what psychologists call “cognitive dissonance.” My (not Mr. Harding’s) possible examples of cognitive dissonance (or simple failure to reason): You support cheating when legalized by the state through “Affirmative Action,” but are outraged when par-

four nets are fully funded, nearly $900,000 is still needed to fund the last two nets, which the Partnership hopes to install at this time, while the crews are on site and already mobilized. “This would provide maximum protection to our community in the most cost-effective way,” he said. The flexible debris nets are engineered to resist velocities unique to debris flows, acting as a sort of braking system to protect the homes below the foothills of Montecito. The nets sit approximately three feet above the water surface of the creeks, allowing wildlife to pass through. Per the County’s emergency permit, the nets must be cleared out after storms. The net project, which was the brainchild of a group of private citizens, is set to cost $5.4M. “It’s thanks to the community and their financial support that a cutting edge idea to enhance our resiliency is now a reality. We hope the increased safety from these nets will also shrink the ‘red zones,’ reassure property insurers, and diminish future evacuation threats,” McElroy said.

Steel Net Update

n an update from the Partnership for Resilient Communities, executive director Pat McElroy reports that work continues on the Swissmade, steel ring nets being installed high up in San Ysidro, Buena Vista, and Cold Spring Canyons. After successful anchor tests, helicopters have been moving thousands of pounds of equipment and supplies from a staging area to the installation sites. Anchors are being drilled on each side of the creek bed and cables are being stretched across the channel; the ring nets themselves will begin installation across the cables next week. “The process is going smoothly,” McElroy writes in a letter to stakeholders. “We hope to be done by the end of May, weather permitting.” The construction is being closely monitored by a supervising biologist, geologist, and a geo-tech engineer, who are ensuring that the environmental conditions of the permits and autho-

Last week, the newly installed planters on Coast Village Road were filled with small shrub landscaping, thanks to the generosity of several local business owners and donors. The planters were initially installed in March, at the entrance of two of the road’s parking aisles, in an effort to deter through traffic and speeding. The project was led by the Coast Village Association’s Traffic & Safety Committee, who worked with the City of Santa Barbara, local landscape

architect Kris Kimpel, Menelli Trading Company’s Jeff Menelli, and Sandor Hodosy of Monte Verde Landscape. Three of the planters replaced the temporary orange k-rail in front of Renaud’s Bistro, and the other two planters were installed at the entrance to the parking aisle servicing Jeannie’s and The Honor Bar. The project was funded and overseen by the City of Santa Barbara. Detachable reflector poles have also been installed between the planters.

Inc. alumna and participated in programming at the Girls Club, before it became known as Girls Inc. The Foundation began in 1951 and has granted more than $950 million to support organizations addressing community needs. Keynote speaker Jessica Clark attended Girls Inc. of Carpinteria, which was then known as the Girls Club. She is the recipient of the Carpinteria Chamber of Commerce 2010 Small Business of the Year award and Girls Inc.’s 2008 Women of Inspiration award. She took the Strong, Smart, and Bold motto and ran with it. She now owns five restaurants and manages 150 employees. She and her husband have Corktree Cellars and Peebee & Jay’s in Carpinteria and are involved in Port Hueneme as well. As Jessica said, “I am so humbled and honored to be speaking at this year’s luncheon. I am continuously in awe of the enormously positive effect Girls Inc. has on young girls in our community and am a huge supporter of their mission.” Her speech was all about support and how we all need it at one time or another. She told us about her hard times being widowed at 26 and business problems with the depression in 2008 and how many people had her back. Her “village” helped her through. Jessica wanted to touch the audience with her talk and she did. Interim executive director Lisa Murphy Rivas praised Jessica for giving back so much and her success especially since she’s a product of Girls Inc. Board president Theresa Huerta thanked the 250 attendees and called the winning number for the flowers – five. I lost. Oh, well, I’ll try again next year. Girls Inc. was founded in 1971 as a summer camp for 33 girls. It now proudly serves more than 700 girls and young women to be strong, smart, and bold.

Women in Communication This was the 12th annual Women of Achievement (WOA) awards luncheon. It was given at the El Paseo Restaurant – a luncheon honoring women “Who Make a Difference with Stories that Matter.” The Association for Women in Communications (AWC-SB) is the only chapter in the state of California. Their membership includes authors, journalists and broadcasters; entrepreneurs, social media experts and marketers; corporate communicators, coaches and designers; scholars, researchers and students. The group holds monthly meetings with speakers and panel discussions to keep members current, plus opportunities to network. Co-chairs of the event were Lisa Osborn and Nancy Seagal. AWC-SB president Carolyn Jabs welcomed the room full of women and a few good men. Proclamations by elected officials were read. Mayor Cathy Murillo remembered that when she grew up in the ‘60s she was told she had better learn to type. Speaking of the honorees she said, “I am impressed by what you both do.” Emcee Starshine Roshell recognized today’s honorees, Kymberlee Weil and Beth Farnsworth. Starshine herself was the honoree in 2011 for the Women of Achievement award. She has been named best columnist for ten years in a row for her witty and insightful column in the Santa Barbara Independent. Poet Perie Longo always creates a poem about the honorees. She was Poet Laureate of Santa Barbara from 2005 to 2007 and a WOA recipient in 2012. After Perie read her poetry, Kymberlee told us a bit about her life. Since the age of seven she was a soft-

f chamber music were an Olympic sport, one could hardly imagine a more formidable dream team than the trio of violinist Joshua Bell, cellist Steven Isserlis, and pianist Jeremy Denk. The three are each considered among the elite on their instruments as recitalists and symphonic soloists as well as other formats, and in many ways are at the forefront of redefining the roles and influence of classical musicians in our time. While the trio of longtime friends and collaborators has performed in various formats sporadically in the years since connecting, separately, at the Spoleto Festival, they are just now embarking on their first official tour, which includes a date at the Granada Theatre on Tuesday, May 7. (Isserlis and Denk will also conduct free master classes with UCSB students surrounding the concert, cello at 2:30 pm Tuesday in UCSB Music Building 1145, and piano at 9 am Wednesday in UCSB Geiringer Hall.) Denk – who will also return as a faculty member of the Music Academy of the West this summer – discussed the connections, choices, conflict resolution, and more over the phone from his home in New York earlier this week. Q. How did you decide to get together as a trio, and why was this important enough to fit a tour into your crowded calendar? A. The piano trio repertoire is amazing and it’s a chance for us to make this music at the highest level possible. We all admire each other as musicians and people and it’s great to talk about the repertoire as we rehearse and perform. It’s like a three-way friendship.

“Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.” – Alexander Pope

Steven Libowitz has reported on the arts and entertainment for more than 30 years; he has contributed to the Montecito Journal for more than 10 years.

Why do you think you work so well together, given that each of you is a major soloist on your own? We have a lot of experience playing together in different ways, so we know each other musically… We each bring different, complementary things to the table, but we also share a lot. Josh and I have a storytelling impulse, which is to bring the musical narrative to life as vividly as possible, and keep you on the edge of your seat as to what will happen next. Steven and I share extra musical things, and also a deep understanding of the architecture. Each of us is a very strong personality. It’s about fitting together all these desires, like we’re each different pieces of the puzzle. Can you elaborate on that, how your passions align? Steven is extremely attuned to the beautiful craftsmanship, the elegance of the structure, almost like clockwork – the way [a piece] all fits together, which creates a great spine. Josh is attuned to the coloristic world, how it shifts from one thing to another. It’s hard for me to talk about myself – like it’s a job interview where you are supposed to explain your strengths (laughs)... I like colors too, but also the little rhythmic things in a phrase that

You might think that some bright person, with this knowledge, could have figured out, that here was possibly a new way of transmitting messages virtually instantaneously. If human flesh could do the job, then perhaps some other substance (or “medium”) could be substituted. But that is the wisdom of hindsight. In actual fact, it took the better part of a century before the very first words were sent over any distance by electric current. By then, of course, it had been found that metal wire was the best material for the purpose. In the meantime, however, other forms of communication were being developed, which had nothing to do with electricity. One of the most impressive of these was also the most simple – a “semaphore” system by

which communications could be relayed visually over long distances very speedily from one watching point (usually on some high eminence) to the next, with mechanical “arms” by day, or fires at night. This of course had been anticipated long before, by Indian “smoke signals,” and also, at sea, by strings of flags flown by ships, using complex codes. One of the most famous flag messages was that which emanated from Lord Nelson’s flagship before the 1805 battle of Trafalgar (a stunning victory, in which, however, Nelson himself was killed). It said: “England expects that every man will do his duty.” But far more famous are the first words officially sent by telegraph, in 1844: “WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT.” (Or, as we would say today, “LOOK WHAT GOD HAS DONE!”) If this sounds Biblical to you, it is indeed a direct quote from the King James Old Testament Book of Numbers (Chapter 23, verse 23).

The message was sent from Washington D.C. to Baltimore by Samuel Morse, using – what else? – Morse Code. But almost all the details of this story are in dispute – starting with whether Morse was really the inventor of this wonderful device. And then, how did he get the idea to use those impressively appropriate words? He said it was suggested by Annie, the young daughter of his old college friend, Henry Leavitt Ellsworth, who just happened to be the (very first) U.S. Commissioner of Patents, and had helped Morse get the funding he needed. But Annie said it was her mother, Nancy, herself the daughter of a prominent New England family. But, as far as that famous expression is concerned, let’s give the credit where it really is due. Surely it belongs to whoever wrote the Book of Numbers. And the traditional author is: Moses. In any case, as you know, communication by wire was soon all the rage – although Henry David Thoreau wasn’t so enthusiastic, observing in Walden (1854) that, although there might soon be a telegraph connecting Maine and Texas, “It may be that Maine and Texas have nothing important to communicate.” Nevertheless, New York definitely felt it had something important to communicate to San Francisco, an impulse which gave rise, only a few years later, to the brief but sensational

life of the Pony Express, which filled the gap in getting fast word to the West, but was rendered obsolete, after only 18 months of operation, by the completion of Western Union’s transcontinental telegraph – which reached the West Coast on October 24, 1861 (a crucial time indeed, with the nation already plunged into Civil War). But here again, we have an instance of technology seeming (from our viewpoint) to lag deplorably. It took another 35 years (until 1895) for communication along wires to begin to be replaced by radio, or “wire-less” (thanks to a young Italian named Marconi). But that new medium could still transmit only by Morse Code. It wasn’t until the, 1920s that “voice radio,” as we know it today, came into wide use. Before leaving wires and their effects upon our history, however, I must mention another kind of wire which had nothing to do with communication, but in fact was employed for the purpose of separation. Barbed Wire was successfully developed in 1874 by Joseph Glidden, a Midwestern businessman. For the first time, cattle could be effectively confined, without building expensive wooden fences. This meant the end of the “open range,” as enjoyed and exploited by generations of ranchers and cowboys – and where even the deer and the antelope could now no longer play. •MJ

he Mind and Supermind series from SBCC School of Extended Learning (aka Adult Ed) has a 35-year history of presenting dynamic speakers and accomplished authors on cutting-edge topics of human psychology in all of its facets and implications. Among the previous speakers over the years have been Deepak Chopra, Byron Katie (creator of The Work), author and journalist Gregg Levoy, energy-based healer Judith Orloff, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus author John Gray and Tai Chi meditation master, and Living Tao Foundation founder Chungliang Al Huang. This Monday, May 6, the series returns to its roots, even employing the word “mind” in its topic, for the spring lecture from renowned mindfulness coach Dave Mochel. The Carpinteria-based author and TEDx presenter will not only explore the concept of “unconditional well-being” – defined as experiencing health and happiness that is independent of circumstances – but also share practices through his approach to mindfulness to employ the principles on a daily basis. “Life is messy,” Mochel explains on the website of his mindfulness consulting company, AppliedAttention.com. “You cannot control what shows up in life, but you do have a choice about where you put your attention and energy.” Mochel’s approach is based on principles derived from the study of neuroscience, human development, and behavior as well as lasting wisdom from major contemplative traditions. It addresses the human brain systems for learning and creating automatic behavior to ensure survival – such as tensing the body for action when it senses physical danger – and the conscious-choice one that can align behavior with values and goals, which it does by prioritizing actions that go beyond what feels familiar and comfortable. The website tells how Mindful Self-Regulation helps the systems work together, with the conscious

system regulating automatic behaviors through deliberate practice. Put another way, we are wired to seek comfort and pleasure as well as to seek meaning and purpose – but sometimes these impulses compete. Which we choose to nurture has enormous implications not only for our individual well-being but also, collectively, for societies, cultures, and the environment. As we learn to have a better relationship to stress, anxiety, distraction, and setback, we also cultivate deeper connection with others through clear, kind, and assertive communication, and effect positive change through increased clarity of values, goals, and commitments. “The good life is a practice of working peacefully with what is outside your control and powerfully with what is within your control,” explains Mochel, who admits to being driven in the past by restlessness, boredom, frustration, anxiety, fear, and anger – so much so that he had to be hospitalized after punching a wall. Now he helps clients, organizations, schools – including Crane in Montecito – practice the principles he learned through decades of study and immersion. “My work with people represents what I have learned over the last twenty-five years in the fields of well-being, neuroscience, performance, and group dynamics,” he writes on the website. “The principles and practices I teach have been distilled and synthesized from thousands of years of enduring wisdom, thousands of scientific studies, and thousands of conversations with colleagues, students, friends, and clients.” Mochel’s talk, which takes place 7:30-9:30 pm on Monday, May 6, in the Schott Campus auditorium, 10 West Padre Street, will be moderated by Spencer Sherman, who has himself long taught “Consciousness, Science, and the Nature of Being,” a mindfulness and meditation course featuring guest speakers, for SEL. Admission is $20. For more information, call (805) 687-0812 or visit https://sbcc.augusoft.net

Mindfulness Over Matters, Part 2: Mindfulness and Intimacy

Ben Connelly, a Soto Zen teacher and Dharma heir in the Katagiri lineage, has penned a new book that connects mindfulness and intimacy, which he will discuss in a special presentation with the Santa Barbara Zen Center. The ancient and powerful practice of awareness and non-judgmental discernment that can help us ground ourselves in the present moment, with the world and our lives just as they are, comes with the risk that by focusing our attention on something (or someone), we might always see it as something other, as separate from ourselves. To close this distance, mindfulness has traditionally been paired with a focus on intimacy, community, and interdependence. In his new book, Connelly shows how to connect these two practices together – bringing warm hearts to clear seeing. Connelly, who is based at Minnesota Zen Meditation Center in Minneapolis, will speak at 10:30 am on Sunday morning, May 5, at the MacVeagh House on the grounds of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. His talk follows Santa Barbara Zen Center’s regular 9 am sutra service and two 30-minute zazen (sitting meditation) sessions and a brief period of kinhin (walking meditation). Guests are welcome to join for all or only the talk, which will be followed by a meet-the-author tea, book sales, and signing. Call (805) 722-5562 or visit www. santabarbarazencenter.org.

Mantra Mavens

As Sanskrit mantra singing has gone mainstream, becoming a global chant phenomenon that is also practices in many corners of our own community, Deva Premal & Miten have remained on the forefront of the forays. Although she just turned 49 last month, Premal’s journey with mantra began even earlier – in her mother’s womb, as her father would chant the “Gayatri Mantra” daily to his unborn daughter. Almost 30 years later, Premal and Miten – who met at the Osho International Meditation Resort in Pune, India in 1990 – recorded The Essence (1998) back where she first heard it in her mother’s apartment in Germany. Deva Premal & Miten’s blend of the sacred Sanskrit mantras with sensual, groove-based music has attracted the attention of superstars, celebrities, and world teachers – from Cher to Tony Robbins, Eckhart Tolle, and even the Dalai Lama – and legions of fans who make their concerts standing room only and propel their CDs to the top of World and New Age charts at iTunes, Amazon, and Billboard Magazine. Deva Premal & Miten’s “The Wings of Mantra” World Tour 2019 – which arrives at the Marjorie Luke Theatre for a 7:30 pm show on Tuesday, May 7 – features the Seven Chakra Gayatri Mantra from their latest album, Deva, along with Miten’s songs of spiritual awakening, taken from his Temple at Midnight

make it interesting, the added spices and imaginations… But each of us has a different idea of what we are (laughs). They’d probably say other things about themselves and me.

I’m also curious about how you align in bringing the “storytelling” vision to fruition. Are there discussions about how to communicate those elements? We start by trying to choose music that we felt would come together well on, that would suit us as a group, and our different temperaments… The Shostakovich is a very clear, terrible, great work of art about the Holocaust. There’s a lot of obvious Jewish music, dances of death, and morbid kind of obsessive skeletal and spectral music. We all know the story. It’s a question of how to tell it in the most truthful possible way. Which can be tricky with Shostakovich because he’s often working in an ironic, sarcastic vein. How do you tell irony truthfully? Mendelssohn is less obvious, the question is whether the story is more playful and lyrical in a given phrase, where the climax is, how we want to shape a passage. [The piece] has all these amazing places where the music is storming along and suddenly it goes into weird islands of repose. It’s hard to keep the sections of storm and repose in balance, so we have worked on that a lot. Are there conflicts, ego issues, even creative differences, and how are they resolved? We talk them out and try to figure out a way to find common ground – like in any relationship (laughs). A lot of time, though, the talk is not that productive. What often happens is one of us plays a passage and the others nod and say, “Let’s do that.” I’ve found playing can be a lot better than talking during rehearsals. Is it more a matter of compromise than collaboration, meaning, are you each giving up something or finding a place of intersection, like a Venn diagram?

Each case is different. Oftentimes you discover that you want the same things, even though it sounds like you’re saying something opposite. But other times the visions can be completely different and it’s a matter of finding a way for it to make sense for each of us, rearrange your thinking. You’ve talked about two of the works on the program. I am wondering how it came together as a whole. It’s kind of a tragedy sandwich. There is a lot of very ecstatic music of one kind or another. The outer pieces are more joyful than the middle ones. The Jewish connection between the Mendelssohn and Shostakovich makes for an interesting narrative, and the very young, emotive Rachmaninoff as tragic Russian leads to the luminescent sound world of Ravel, which is quite different from the other pieces, using sound in and of itself as an object for contemplation. Your latest solo album is ca. 13002000, quite a concept. How do you distill 700 years into a single album? You make a number of impossible and heartbreaking choices. I tried to make it a story, not in any way a music lesson, but a kaleidoscope or time-lapse photography situation in which you could feel the evolution of changing values and ways of thinking about music, following various threads. Like a giant biography of classical musical styles, with lots of cliffhangers, places where it gets very exciting as composers are discovering, and others when everyone is wondering what’s next. Did things change dramatically when you received the MacArthur grant? Or rather, how does that experience resonate now? I tried not to let it affect me. I just saved the money and thought about which projects I might want to

Far Flung Travel

by Chuck Graham

Not Just the Valley Floor

think after midnight I gave up on those stiff, piercing, westerly winds lying down. It was blowing 50 mph and the temps were in the mid-20s on Wildrose Peak, but the views were easily worth every frigid gust the Mojave Desert had to offer. I decided not to bring a tent to Death Valley National Park and instead wanted to test my new down

sleeping bag out beneath the stars. The bag passed the test, but there wasn’t much sleeping going on; those howling winds were proving more than persistent. Timbisha is the Shoshone word meaning Death Valley, but there may not be another place in California that throws off shafts of light, distant shadows, topographical diversity, and

shifting colors. This starkly beautiful National Park does possess the lowest point in North America, and it’s one of the hottest, driest places on the planet, but there’s more to Death Valley National Park than just its vast valley floor. Consider that Death Valley is also flanked by two daunting mountain ranges also within the National Park, the juniper-covered Panamint to the west and the Mordor-like Amargosa to the east. Badwater, the Race Track, the Devil’s Golf Course, the Artist’s Palette, Zabriskie Point, and other “desertscapes” lie within the arid valley floor between these seemingly bar-

ren mountains. You can also take your pick of creaky ghost towns to explore, all possessing their own desert charm. Don’t forget the occasional sighting of a scruffy, desert burro. As lifeless as Death Valley can appear to be, its surrounding mountain ranges offer a different perspective for a diverse landscape that became a National Park in 1994. Hiking and backpacking in the Panamint Mountains is a different experience than the neighboring Eastern Sierra. They look and feel different, and the Panamints are the

range jutting skyward from Death Valley’s floor, and that alone is worth a trek. Back in 2005, Badwater experienced a 100-year flood and transformed the lowest point in North America into a 20-mile-long, five-mile-wide lake. Of course, I had to paddle it and by the end of the day my kayak was utterly caked in salt. The weather was perfect, 75 degrees in the middle of winter, but the Panamints were powdered in fresh snow and I needed to be there too. It just took a while to get there. Late last December, I was looking for a quick peak before leaving for the

Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda. It would be a week-long trek to climb up Mount Stanley and its highest summit, Margherita Peak at 16,763 feet. I wanted to hike up Telescope Peak at 11,049, but too much snow required more than just the one night I had before I had to be back to work at the Channel Islands National Park. Just on the other side of the charcoal kilns, nearby Wildrose Peak at 9,064 feet was a perfect alternative to the north. I needed to sleep one more night with some elevation before my trip. It was a quick four-mile hike and 90 minutes before dark in snow

and ice before I arrived at its very exposed summit. There was virtually no cover at all except for a couple of beleaguered, windblown pines. One of them had to suffice though, so I picked the one with the most vegetation closest to the ground, but it really didn’t matter. A winter storm was moving through the ranges and those relentless clearing winds were easily gusting to 50 mph. It was cold but I’m glad I didn’t have to pitch a tent in that s$%# storm. Instead, I was self-contained carrying everything in my new Atlas Camera Pack that allows room for camera gear and camping gear for a night or two in the woods.

pad. Just good enough for one frigid night. The new sleeping bag passed with flying colors, cutting the wind on the rock-hard, frosted ground. By straddling the spine of Death Valley, I was able to experience a stunning sunset and equally mesmerizing sunrise. All that was required was a little discomfort. The views there would force any onlooker to gaze in 360 degrees and forget about some wicked, bone-chilling temps. To the east the valley floor and the Amargosa Range and to the west were the Inyo Mountains with some of the tallest peaks in the Eastern Sierra peeking up from behind, and to think I never had to leave my sleeping bag to experience it all. •MJ

Solidarity and Shadows

The Solidarity and Compassion Project, a monthly gathering created by psychologist and meditation teacher Radhule Weininger in the wake of the 2016 elections, takes a turn toward the dark side with its May 8 event when the theme will be Facing the Dark Side with Courage and Compassion. Weininger will be joined by David Richo, Ph.D., M.F.T., the psychotherapist, writer, and workshop leader (for decades with SBCC’s Adult Ed and elsewhere) whose most recent book is The Five Longings: What We’ve Always Wanted and Already Have, in a discussion moderated by Weininger’s husband, Michael Kearney. They will explore what Carl Jung called “the shadow,” the unacknowledged, disavowed, unconscious part of ourselves and others that has both negative and positive aspects. The presenters will discuss and interact with the audience on how the twofold shadow is both personal and collective, and how to understand and work with the shadow within each of us and in society. The event gets underway at 7 pm Wednesday at Parish Hall at The Unitarian Society, 1535 Santa Barbara Street. Admission by donation. Visit www.mindfulheartpro grams.org/solidarity--compassion-project.html.

Cannabis Conferences

Look no further for proof that the legalization of marijuana is landing locally beyond a deluge of dispensaries than the schedule for the next two weekends, each of which will feature a deep diving conference on medical and other uses of cannabis. MediCannaCon: the Ojai Medical Cannabis Conference, which takes place on Saturday, May 4, aims to present current information to health professionals and the general public in the wake of the fact that many people are now self-medicating and need to know the benefits, side effects, and contraindications of the many types and preparations of medical cannabis. The faculty includes David Bearman, MD, speaking on “Cannabis in Health and Disease;” Margaret Peterson, MD, explaining “The Human Endocannabinoid System;” James D. Adams, PhD, of USC School of Pharmacy, addressing “Medical Uses of Full-Spectrum Cannabis” and “The Entourage Effect of Cannabis;” and Susan Marks, RN, BSN, PHN, discussing the “The Safe and Effective Cannabis Patient Experience.” Admission is $125 in advance, $145 at the door, for the 9 am to 5 pm event at the Ojai Valley Woman’s Club, 441 East Ojai Avenue, presented by the Ojai Herbal Symposium and Sespe Creek Collective. Visit www.OjaiHerbal.org or call (805) 646-6281. An opportunity closer to home comes a week later, when EntheoMedicine presents the Santa Barbara Medical Cannabis Conference & Expo on Saturday, May 11, at Santa Barbara Veterans Memorial building (112 West Cabrillo Boulevard). The even more immersive event that runs from 7:30 am to 6 pm features keynote speakers, workshops and breakout sessions, plus Q&A, documentary presentation and book signings as well as an expo with exhibitors offering free (non-THC) giveaways, music and food. Visit www.CannabisMedConference.org for information and tickets. We’ll have more in next week’s column.

Yoga, Uphill or On the Water

Divinitree Santa Barbara and Yoga Dance Magic are joining forces to lead a mellow and meditative mountain hike up to Parma Park, where the group will experience a movement class with Divinitree and YDM teacher Kylie Wagner. The classes use wireless headphones and begin with invigorating yet gentle yoga, activating the breath with intuitive postures, before transitioning into free form, non-choreographed movements and flowing into a dance party. The class closes with cool down stretches, restorative poses and a savasana period. No previous yoga or dance experience is necessary to attend the 9:30-11:30 am excursion on Saturday, May 4, which costs $25 in advance, or $30 at the event. The following morning, Divinitree Yoga Studio owner Jill Agonias leads a stand-up paddleboard yoga workshop out in marina by the harbor. Agonias, a certified SUP yoga instructor through Paddle Into Fitness, leads the event that is designed for students who are new to SUP and/or yoga that starts on land with an SUP lesson and a brief overview of yoga basics and how to modify some poses while balancing on a board. Once on the water, participants will paddle around the marina before starting a slow and steady beginner-friendly SUP Yoga class, complete with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and the mountains of Santa Barbara.

Stage 2 to Stage 1, which is consistent with current hydrologic and water supply conditions and in compliance with its Urban Water Management Plan, which is regulated by the State of California. “The hydrologic conditions have improved dramatically,” said general manager Nick Turner. “We now have important, and very positive, information pertaining to our water supply outlook for 2019/20 that we did not have six weeks ago.” As a next step in responding to the improved water supply outlook, the Board also provided input on a draft Ordinance 96 intended to replace the current Ordinance 95 that provides for restrictions on water use. Prohibiting water waste is still essential, consistent with the State’s directive of making “Conservation a California Way of Life,” and this new ordinance would address ongoing requirements. With the adoption of Ordinance 96, MWD is considering ending the meter moratorium that has been in place since 2014, and Staff provided a comprehensive analysis on the potential impact of issuing new water meters at Tuesday’s meeting for Board review. The new ordinance is slated to go before the Board for possible approval next month, and as always public input is welcome. MWD is now preparing its budget for fiscal year 2019/20 which begins July 1, 2019. Earlier this year, MWD received a favorable “unmodified opinion” on its independent annual audit for fiscal year 2017/18. MWD is also updating its 5-year Financial Plan, which informs the rate study. The rate study, which will evaluate costs associated with ongoing water shortage emergency conditions, is scheduled for completion within the next two to four months. The timeline may be delayed so that the most

accurate and current information can be included. Important considerations for the rate study include the water supply outlook for the 3-year planning period, and the cost of new initiatives such as the pending Water Supply Agreement (WSA) with the City of Santa Barbara. One of the District’s objectives with the new rate setting process is to accommodate ongoing water shortage emergency costs and to eliminate the current water shortage emergency surcharge required to fund unforeseen extraordinary expenses resulting from the drought. Public noticing and public comment are an integral part of implementing a new rate structure; all Board and Committee meetings are open to the public, dates are posted to the online District Calendar, agendas, minutes and packets are available at the office or on the website, and participation is encouraged. MWD continues to make progress on strategic initiatives for bolstering water supplies long term, including Desalination and Recycled Water, and will keep the public informed. An important initiative involving the public is the SGMA (Sustainable Groundwater Management Act). The Montecito Groundwater Basin was designated as a “Medium Priority” by the Department of Water Resources, which means it is subject to SGMA, which was established in 2014. A Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) has been formed for the Montecito Groundwater Basin and held its first meeting earlier this week. The GSA will serve as lead agency in the preparation and implementation of a Groundwater Sustainability Plan. In March, MWD’s Board approved a contract with local consulting firm Dudek to assist with professional services associated with the development of

Cancer Foundation Donation

On Saturday, May 4 at 3 pm, over 750 Rancheros Visitadores from 37 states and six countries will parade in pink on horseback and carriages along Alisal Road through downtown Solvang to Old Mission Santa Inés. For the eighth year in a row, the Rancheros have chosen to partner with Wrangler Jeans and the Tough Enough to Wear Pink Foundation to raise funds for the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara in support of local breast cancer programs at the RidleyTree Cancer Center at Sansum Clinic. This year they have reached their goal

of donating $1,020,000. The funds raised benefit breast cancer programs at the Ridley-Tree Cancer Center including: clinical research trials, wellness classes and support programs, hereditary cancer risk counseling, and nurse navigation. These services are available to all breast cancer patients who reside in Santa Barbara County regardless of where they receive treatment or their ability to pay. “The Rancheros have been returning to Santa Barbara County and the Santa Ynez Valley for 87 years. Though our members come from far and wide, this is the Rancheros’ home, and we have found a cause we believe in. We understand it is important to give back to the community we return to year after year,” said Ranchero Steve Beneto. “The response has been fantastic as we continue our support of the Cancer Center and their excellent care of breast cancer patients and their families on the central coast.” To learn more, visit the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara at www. cfsb.org or the Ridley-Tree Cancer Center at www.ridleytreecc.org. •MJ

Local Gigs from Blues to Punk

n April 13, the evening before Tax Day, three musicians’ musicians packed the house, literally a house turned French restaurant, called the Little Door. The restaurant decided to have a popup menu with Full of Life Flatbread’s Chef Clark Staub, former Capitol Records Marketing VP. The trio was “Morganfield Burnett” (Larry Edwards) on harmonica, Chas Thompson on bass, and John Marx on guitar. Blues baby Burnett started in music at age four following a Louis Armstrong concert. Originally from Dallas by way of East Texas near the Louisiana border, his career includes R&B, funk and hip-hop bands, sessions with Big John and Kim Wilson (The Fabulous Thunderbirds) and Kid Andersen. His band, Morganfield Burnett & da Blues, plays Santa Barbara gigs mostly at the Red Piano Bar on State Street, in Isla Vista at Jeffrey’s Jazz Coffeehouse set up by Dr. Jeffrey Stewart (UCSB Black Studies Department) to revive

Isla Vista with intelligent arts and culture, and in Los Angeles at Joe’s Great American Bar & Grill. The man is constantly booked, with some rumored projects. Perhaps if you really know the blues legends, you’ll get that Larry got his stage name by combining the last names of McKinley Morganfield a.k.a. Muddy Waters and Chester Burnett a.k.a. Howlin’ Wolf. Thompson, a guitarist turned bassist, was born in NYC, studied at MIT in Boston and threw it aside to be a musician in Los Angeles, working in Christopher Cross’s band and others. On lead guitar and vocals from Ojai was John Marx, a Baltimore born drummer turned guitarist at 14. Marx got to San Diego via the Navy, started a few bands, landed a gig with Captain & Tennille in Los Angeles and broke out on his own path. He has played with Larry Davis, Earl King, Floyd Dixon, Albert Collins, Lowell Fulson, and Lightning Hopkins. The trio set up in front of the black gloss upright piano by the bar, just

barely enough space to get some respect. Morganfield’s gig bag has no less than 12 harmonicas in well-worn leather and velvet cases, each one a different lover for a different key. The group did beyond excellent renditions of the blues trads including “Hoochie Coochie Man,” “I Just Want to Make Love to You,” and “I’m Ready” by Willie Dixon, and possibly Larry’s harp rendition of “Killing Floor” and “Spoonful.” Seen at the gig from Montecito were Laurie Deans and husband, Canadian film producer Joe Medjuck, with friends Pam and jazz drummer David Grossman, Alison and Gunhill Road’s

Glenn Leopold, Suzanne Austin (Motown Mondays at SOhO), Judy Bruton, and director Andy Davis. The restaurant crew was dancing to the downbeat as they waited on the tables. Music by these blues veterans made everyone’s evening. On April 10, four punk rock bands hit “The Hard to Find Showcase,” a music supported venue operated by the Jubilee Christian Church Goleta; major thanks to booking agent Tim Eymann, with volunteers Josh Eymann and Vince Kosek at the door.

proceeds to the bands, no need to belong to the church or play a specific genre of music. Using the punk genre to message the world, all four bands have something to say, and did so sharing a stripped down drum kit, basic amplification, and pedals. Headliner was our local favorite back after a U.S.-sort-of tour, the Sanderlings with Woody Locke, a talented guitarist, composer and music teacher; Marvin Oceguera on rhythm guitar; bassist Anthony Claremont; and Adam Jahnke on drums. They played a seven-song set list of all new material, notably, “Good Enough,” “We Could Rise,” and “Nothing to Lose.” So hey, when is the release date? Marvin is moving to Portland, Oregon May 1, so catch him at a gig or managing Instrumental Music on State before he leaves.

Two-member punk band Ghost Galley testing local waters

Ghost Galley from Santa Barbara are, hard to believe, only two guys, Ryan Yale Gracey on guitar, keys, and lead vocals, with Casey Black on drums. The band uses reliably a funk beat in their song, “Putting

on the Ritz,” a throwback from the early Mumps band meets Queen at a “Bohemian Rhapsody.” While “Plague in This City” begins with a waltz beat, it takes off into the key signature and tonal shadows of The Doors musically and lyrically, but abruptly returns to their punk shouts and key change in the chorus. In sum, they are definitely heavily influenced by the California Laurel Canyon ‘70s music scene interlaced with carnival, waltzes, and higher-toned vocal harmonies. Tina Fake just released their five song EP April 2, 2019 titled Secondary Inspection. They are Garrison Zoutendyk on guitar and vocals, Noah Irving on bass, and Felipe Pezzoli on drums. Their song “New Flower” calls up bare threads of Stone Temple Pilots screaming and is derived from a very long Earnest Hemmingway quote, “When a child first catches adults out... And the child’s world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing.” There are tonal key threads of Nirvana on “Last Call,” but they shake it up with vocal twisting by Felipe.

South Beacons, an Indie Rock band, takes both Pezzoli and Zoutendyk from Tina Fake, and adds Eric Gudmundson on guitar. They played from their seven-song EP Floaters. Top single off the EP is “Afterglow,” a hard driving punk song a la The Seeds with heavy driven rhythm guitar. Taking a piece of Johnny Ramone meets Patti Smith on “Erosion Explosion” and mixing with early surfer hard-driven guitar. So the difference in this three-some is a bit less experimental and more predictable than Tina Fake. Still newbies, both South Beacons and Tina Fake are not ready to hang ten solo, I suggest: add Gudmundson to Tina Fake and find out where the music goes. •MJ 411: Morganfield Burnett: 805-962-4066 Sanderlings – www.sanderlings.bandcamp.com   Ghost Galley – www.reverbnation.com/ghostgalley Tina Fake – www.tinafake.bandcamp.com   South Beacons – www.soundcloud.com/southbeacons

Classical Correction

The item in last week’s column about Opera Santa Barbara’s production of The Crucible featured a quote from director Stephanie Havey that was truncated from a longer response in which Havey had said, “There is so much more than tying it in with political divisions.” Our apologies if the editing perhaps left a mistaken impression that the show was more about “Trumpism” than timeless “human imperfection,” of which, perhaps, the item itself was an example.

Man in the Middle

While politics appear more partisan than ever, at least one weekly news show takes pains to pair party opposites in discussions that are polite if still vociferous. “Left, Right & Center,” produced by KCRW, features one panelist from each position to argue, civilly, the particulars of policy and issues as well as the politics. The more than two-decades old show has been hosted for the last four years by Josh Barro, New York Magazine‘s business columnist who once worked in policy research for think tanks and as a real estate banker at Wells Fargo. The former Republican serves as the centrist moderator for the program, which will be taped live next Thursday, May 9, at UCSB Campbell Hall, with Rolling Stone’s Jamil Smith, The Atlantic’s Conor Friedersdorf, and The Daily Beast’s Keli Goff serving as panelists for the program that will air the following day. Barro dished on the debate format over the phone from New York over the weekend. Q. Why do you think the show has become so popular recently? Is there this desire for a higher level of discourse in politics? A. I hope we are raising the level of conversation. But we’re a long in-depth policy program, so we’re not going to reach people who don’t care about politics. What’s out there is driven by consumer demand, and it’s a free country, so people have the right to listen to programs where their ideas are reinforced, or that are filled with screaming matches. Our ability to change media consumption habits is limited. But a lot of listeners say things like, “Your show helps keep me sane,” which I do like hearing… Partisan media is 2 – 9 May 2019

peeves about the debates – there shouldn’t be cheering sections for the candidates. But the stakes are not nearly as high with our show. You don’t feel the need to cheer on the panelist who represents your position, because whoever wins the conversation isn’t going to be president. We did have one live show in L.A. a few years ago where I had to step in. But the audience usually adds something, and doesn’t go over the rails.

very manipulative and is designed to increase the level of alarm, with an incentive to turn up the temperature, so everything is framed as the biggest crisis ever. But when you look beneath the hood, the policy environment, the nature of debate in Washington, is similar to what we’ve been having. Our show reflects that, treating problems as problems that have solutions. It appeals to people who want to approach politics with curiosity and understanding. Unlike, say, “Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me,” “LRC” is not normally taped in front of a live audience. How does that affect things? The feel of the show is different, as there’s a real energy from the audience which you can hear on the recording. And because the panelists are there on the stage rather than talking remotely, it allows for a more conversational and energetic show. And we always do some local content. We will be joined by Laura Nelson who covers transportation for the L.A. Times, and we’ll talk about things that California has been facing. The desire for high-speed rail, questions about traffic, and the very inter-related housing issue where people have extremely long commutes because they can’t afford to live where they work.

California itself is a substantial fraction of Democrats in the country, so being from there is one of her real strengths.

The colorful and energized sold-out show included Hindi-film Fusion and Bhangra dance teams representing a host of colleges, including USC, Penn State, UC Berkeley, Stanford, UCLA, UC Davis, and UT Austin. Hindi-film Fusion combines western techniques of contemporary and hip-hop with the cultural styles of Hindi film, classical and folk traditions and is one of the fastest growing dance forms in the U.S. today.

Based on Arthur Miller’s 1953 play, centered on the Salem witch trials in 1692 and considered an allego-

ry for McCarthyism and the U.S. Government’s persecution of suspected Communists, the highly entertaining production directed by Stephanie Harvey and conducted by Kostis Protopapas hit all the right notes. Bass baritone Wayne Tigges, who has sung with the Met and the San Francisco and Paris operas, and mezzo-soprano Audrey Babcock, debuted as John and Elizabeth Proctor, with soprano Anya Matanovic as the malicious Abigail Williams, all superb in their principal roles. Corey Bix, Colin Ramsey, Robert Norman, and Nina Yoshida Nelsen also added to the large cast’s luster, not to mention Steven Kemp’s creative scenery and Jarred Sayeg’s effective lighting design. A fitting conclusion to a memorable landmark season...

National Charity League

Each year the National Charity League (NCL) holds a senior recognition event at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort. This year nearly 500 friends and relatives of the 18 graduating girls (Ticktockers) gathered to honor their six years of volunteering. The NCL mission is to foster mother-daughter relationships in a philanthropic organization committed to community service, leadership development, and cultural experiences. The Santa Barbara chapter currently supports 20 local nonprofit organizations such as The Dream Foundation, DRI, MOXI, and Special Olympics. NCL president Laura Forster said, “Through six years of dedication this class has donated over 5,500 hours of volunteer service, bonding in friendships that will last their lifetime.” Additionally, the Santa Barbara Chapter provided 11,341 hours to the 20 philanthropies this year. That is an all-time record for the chapter. The highlight of the evening is the fashion show, which is aimed at poise and presentation for the senior and junior Ticktockers.

ents cheat to give their children an advantage to college entrance. You endorse the concept of hate crime and hate speech, while believing in equal justice and free speech. You believe in rule of law while witnessing multiple judicial decisions overturned and/or decided by slim majority opinions. You think the state protects your right to privacy and property while filing an invasive income tax return and parting with your property. You believe women are more vulnerable and disadvantaged than men while ignoring the fact men are killed and maimed by the millions in wars they didn’t start or elect to join. You advocate government transparency, but are unfazed (or jubilant) when Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning or Julian Assange suffer government revenge for exposing its worst secrets. You consider yourself an informed, free thinker, but have no problem with narrow, regimented government schooling. Timeless quote of the day: “The only thing I respect is intellectual honesty, of which, of course, intellectual courage is a necessary part. A Socialist who goes to jail for his opinions seems to me a much finer man than the judge who sends him there, though I disagree with all the ideas of

the Socialist and agree with some of those of the judge.” – H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women. Steve King Carpinteria

Same Old, Same Old

Of late, there have been a few more progressive letters to the editor among the usual very right-of-center rants. Thank the Ink-Gods. This is a hopeful drift. Cotty Chubb’s “A Suspicious Mind” (MJ # 25/15) reflects what a large number of Montecitans think and say, even if not in the presence of Trumpies. That, indeed, the Mueller Report in no way exonerates the President, that he is mad as a hatter, that he’s “a tax dodger, a liar, and a cheat.” Trump has an Attorney General who serves “der donald” instead of the American people. Yet Barr somehow slipped his duty to carefully redact by letting us read Trump’s infamous outcry upon being told he was being investigated. “OMG! This is terrible: the end of my Presidency. I’m f*****d.” This confession of his consciousness of culpability should be repeated by every fair-minded political candidate in the coming election, whether running for City Council or the one who will defeat Donald Trump in 2020. Josie Levy Martin

Montecito (Editor’s note: Hmmm. Where have we heard all this vitriol before? Oh, now I recall: every talking head on every single CNN and/or MSNBC show has been saying more or less the same thing since before the Mueller Report was released, announcing as it did, that there would be no more indictments, and that the president did not, nor did any of his staff, work, conspire, or collude with “the Russians” to steal the election. Oh well, we’ll have to wait to see what happens in November 2020. In the meantime, maybe you should switch channels too. – J.B.)

Perish the Thought

About 5,000 years ago, something disappeared. It was Mega Chad, the largest fresh water reservoir on Earth. Once covering about 139,000 sq miles in the Sahara Desert, Lake Chad now spans a pitiful 137 square miles. Did the domestication of hors-

es and/or chickens, construction of thousands of Brazilian pyramids using (now-extinct) mollusk shells, Sumarian ziggurats, the tower of Babel, CO2 emissions from Egyptian cattle, or the Sun cause this disastrous disappearance? Are plants, fish, cattle and humans more likely to survive a global cooling or a global warming? With the Sun approaching a Solar Minimum, shouldn’t we be pumping more CO2 into the atmosphere so we don’t freeze to death? Shivering at the thought, Dale Lowdermilk Santa Barbara (Editor’s note: As Queen may have said, “Any way the wind blows, doesn’t really matter,” because regardless of what happens it will be deemed Man’s (and Woman’s) fault. There is cause for worry, if not alarm, however, as we inch towards an Earthly population of ten billion souls. Let’s face it, if, say, elephants (or beavers) were allowed to breed indiscriminately and successfully conquered all their predators, Earth would look a lot worse too. It’s just a personal survival instinct, but all of us really should be a little more careful in our daily lives. Funny enough though, if you are right, Mr. Lowdermilk, and the Solar Minimum brings freezing temperatures back to Earth, threatening the introduction of a New Ice Age, we may just find ourselves pumping plant-loving CO2 into the atmosphere at triple speed. – J.B.) •MJ

THURSDAY, MAY 2 1st Thursday – “3xEigHt,” the new show at Indigo Interiors (1321 State Street, 805-962-6909) might be typographically challenged, but it’s got a lot of other bases covered. It is comprised of three hand-selected pieces by each of eight artists: Anthony Askew, Pamela Benham, Tom Cummings, Mary Ince, Dan Levin, Leon Olson, Seyburn Zorthian, and Pamela ZwehlBurke. The exhibition serves as a lively conversation between 24 works with very personal perspectives… Sampling is also on the menu at Sullivan Goss – An American Gallery (11 East Anapamu Street, 805-730-1460), where the opening of the gallery’s second biennial “Masterworks” exhibition highlights one recent major work by each of Sullivan Goss’ fully represented 13 living artists (Meredith Brooks Abbott, Whitney Brooks Abbot, Ken Bortolazzo, Phoebe Brunner, Patricia Chidlaw, Jon Francis, Robin Gowen, Susan McDonnell, John Nava, Angela Perko, Hank Pitcher, Nicole Strasburg, and Sarah Vedder)… The same approach informs “Juxtapose,” a new collection of original abstract artwork by 15 local artists at Santa Barbara Art Works (28

East Victoria Street), where the opening reception includes local music, wine, and light hors d’oeuvres at the artist studio-gallery with a primary goal of encouraging creativity and professional growth for aspiring artists with disabilities… “God is a Woman,” at Glenn Dallas Gallery (927 State Street), celebrates motherhood, sisterhood, and empowerment through the works of local, national, and international women artists. The reception features live music and drinks with which to take in the female perspective… Focusing on a single woman artist is the exhibition at Early California Antiques (1331 State Street, 805-837-8735), which features more than 25 original works by California landscapes painter Mabel Sumerlin, whose work also includes historical buildings, still lifes and portraits, from 1925-1940… Doubling the fun, Raymond James, the wealth management group located on the fifth floor of the Granada Building, features local artists Priscilla Fossek and Michael Drury as the highlights of the art-filled office where the artists reception offers wine and appetizers and above-itall views of Santa Barbara… Back in the group show arena, Garden Court (1116 De la Vina Street, 805-884-0095) hosts “A Voyage Under the Sea!” featuring art from residents, staff, caregivers,

THURSDAY, MAY 2 May Day & More – Santa Barbara Revels moves from Paseo Nuevo courtyard across the street to Storke Placita, 700 State Street, and into the arms of 1st Thursday, the monthly art-and-culture that takes over lower State Street for three evening hours. Revels music director Erin McKibben and special guest Josh Jenkins lead the annual celebration of the coming of spring in which all are invited to join in singing seasonal songs, learning a traditional English Country dance, and making floral garlands, nosegays, and wreaths. The afternoon culminates in the traditional maypole ritual in which two circles of participants holding colorful ribbon streamers walk in opposite directions around the maypole, creating intricate patterns as they weave to the inside and then the outside of each other… The performing arts portion of 1st Thursday also boasts a performance inside Casa de la Guerra (15 East De la Guerra Street) by the Dos Pueblos Concert Band, comprised of students from various musical backgrounds who learn a broad range of styles to enrich their repertoire under the direction of Mr. Dan Garske. The 5:30-7:30 pm performance kicks off the band’s fundraising campaign to perform at Carnegie Hall next spring… Also offering up musical messages in the great outdoors is Mezcal Martini, the lively local Latin jazz band that samples styles and rhythms of Cuba, the Caribbean, Mexico, and the U.S. on the corner of State and Anapamu streets in front of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art… Indoors in the still-renovating museum (1130 State Street, 805-963-4364), two classical organizations offer their wares with a short programs of choral music from the Santa Barbara Quire of Voyces following a final Pop-Up Opera performance from the studio artists of Opera Santa Barbara.

EVENTS by Steven Libowitz

FRIDAY, MAY 3 Knight and the Maiden – A native of Savannah who has lived on the Central Coast of California for more than three decades, singersongwriter Jill Knight has fashioned a winning sound that blends Southern folk, Americana, blues and a little R&B that serves as a fine setting for her vocals and lyrics. Along the way, Knight has played just about every right-sized venue in the area and accumulated a great number of awards and nominations, including the L.A. music awards’ best female vocalist, the Telluride Troubadour competition, the National Academy of Songwriters “songwriter of the year” competition, Billboard magazine’s “best unsigned band” contest and many others. Tonight, she returns to a favorite intimate listening gig at Cambridge Drive Concert Series, sharing the stage with a new friend, Hana Aluna, the Montecitoraised youngest daughter of Kenny Loggins, who has been writing music since age nine, when her dad dropped a guitar in her lap. A prolific songwriter, Hana Aluna has begun performing more frequently in town, including alongside Loggins, Jack Johnson, and David Crosby at the Jack Johnson & Friends post-mudslide benefit concert last winter, a somewhat bigger arena than the Goleta church.

FRIDAY, MAY 3 Sedaris, the Satire Sensation – It’s hard to imagine more than a handful of literary heroes as unlikely as David Sedaris to get the sort of pop star treatment the humor writer has been enjoying for years. The man Entertainment Weekly dubbed “the preeminent humorist of his generation” has been booked by UCSB Arts & Lectures just about every academic year for a decade, and always draws huge crowds, originally at the Arlington, now across the street at the more elegant Granada. In either venue, Sedaris’ sardonic wit, incisive social critiques, and self-deprecating viewpoint always goes over big as the diminutive writer reads from his personal essays and short stories. There are more than 10 million copies of his books in print and they have been translated into 25 languages, with his latest, Calypso, taking his usual hilarious look at life, growing older, and beach vacations. Critics love him too, as evidenced by the Chicago Tribune’s words: “Sedaris’ droll assessment of the mundane and the eccentrics who inhabit the world’s crevices make him one of the greatest humorists writing today.” WHEN: 7:30 pm WHERE: Granada Theatre, 1214 State Street COST: $35-$50 INFO: (805) 8992222 / www.granadasb.org or (805) 893-3535 / www.ArtsAndLectures.UCSB.edu

After opening his program with Schumann’s Five Pieces in the Folk Style, Op.102, and Brahms’ Cello Sonata No.2 in F major, Op.99In, Maisky will pay tribute to the deep musical legacy of the two great 20th Century Russian masters of the cello in closing out his concert with three works by Rachmaninoff – including his own transcriptions of Mélodie in E major, Op.3, No.3, and Elégie, Op.3, No.1, sandwiched around Vocalise, Op.34, No.14 – and Shostakovich: Cello Sonata in D minor, Op.40 (1934).

MONTECITO JOURNAL

ON TRAVEL by Dale Zurawski Dale has lived in Montecito since 2001. She is an avid bike commuter and has used various modes of travel to tour Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa. Additional stories on Iceland and other journeys can be found on www.DaleZurawski.com.

Winter in Iceland The Blue Lagoon at night is one of many options for swimming in geyser fed pools

Passengers crossing an icy runway to board a flight at Keflavík International Airport

alking off the plane and onto the icy runway, the message from Icelandair’s screen came to mind; the most amazing thing about Iceland is not the fact that it’s the third windiest place in the world, it’s the fact that hardly anyone lives in the first and second places. Don’t worry, Iceland is worth the free stopover on transatlantic flights. I had given Geoff, my husband, a one-week trip in February to see the Northern Lights as a last minute Christmas gift. We came from Santa Barbara to experience winter, so we had no excuse, not to bundle-up and head out. After we were settled in our hotel, we made our Blue Lagoon reservations for that night. The mother of all hot springs deserves a visit, and the elegant restaurant is top notch as well. After a steaming shower, I exited the changing room and looked out onto the vast geyser-fed Blue Lagoon. It was dotted with swim-up bars, heads peaking out of the steam, and glowing blue light. I got a push from the wind to ease into the hot water and join Geoff for a soak. The water scalded me as I first sank down but was quickly rewarded by the calming heat. We glanced up through the clouds and saw a small patch of stars, but no Northern Lights. For a few minutes, the wind stopped blowing. We relaxed into the feeling of hot water, cold air, and the anticipation of a week of adventure on this remote snow-covered island. We hadn’t traveled out of the capital of Reykjavik yet, but

Driving in Iceland requires crossing treacherous streams even along the main highway

tomorrow we were about to set out despite predictions of poor driving conditions. Icelanders like to claim a moderate climate in winter — the temperature alternates between the mid-30s and upper 20s. Just before we left, an experienced friend told us to expect rain, then freezing temps, followed by a light dusting of snow that acts like little ball bearings. Here’s the spoiler, we never saw the Northern Lights after a week of faithful cloud gazing. We did, however, experience a volcanic wonderland midst blowing rain and blizzards.

There are ten bedrooms and 21 bathrooms throughout the impressive living space. The property also includes a persimmon orchard, avocado groves, and a helipad. It is associated with French billionaire Mansour Ojjeh, CEO of TAG, a Luxembourg-holding company that owns a significant chunk of the McLaren car group, whose cars go for between $837,000 for The Senna to an extravagant $2,100,000 for The Speedtail.

Homes in Western Montecito

ontecito may be a small town by population standards, but it is not without diversity of landscape, view options, a variety of home sizes, styles, prices, and more. From a mansion on a promontory overlooking everything, to sitting just two miles away, on the patio of an 800 sq ft beachfront home, there are many settings to choose from. Over the next few articles I will endeavor to feature homes for sale in these different areas of Montecito, from the beach area to the foothills to central Montecito and more. I will start here today with west Montecito and work my way east over the next few issues. Homes in west Montecito can often be equal distance to Montecito’s upper and lower villages as well as just a few more minutes to downtown Santa Barbara. Western Montecito also offers a few separate “hill” neighborhoods that often boast solid ocean views. From the Barker Pass, Eucalyptus Hill, and Alston Road areas to homes on multiple acres in the foothills on West Mountain Drive, ocean view properties are usually available with more than just a few of the listings for sale (three mentioned below have ocean views). While parts of western Montecito, and the homes featured here today, are within Montecito’s 93108 ZIP code, many homes or streets on the edges of the 93108 are not within the Montecito Union School or Cold Spring School Districts, yet can be right across the street from homes that are. The homes featured today are in the Cleveland School District (K-6), and the SB Jr. High and SB High School districts. I suggest checking boundary lines and inclusion addresses with schools directly, if being in a specific elementary school district is a key consideration in your home selection process. Additionally, homes in the westernmost part of Montecito and the 93108 (areas that include the homes listed here today), are not in any of the debris flow evacuation zones according to the most recent map I checked (please investigate on your own if this is of concern to you as well). Here are four homes in western Montecito on the market today.

The Overall Tax Rate

Adding up just the four income-based categories of taxation (Federal, state/ local, Social Security, and Medicare), the average American’s effective tax rate is 29.8%, according to USA Today. This is before any consumption-based taxes are added, such as sales tax, property tax, or other taxes on specific items at the federal, state, city and county level.

It takes an annual AGI of $480,804 per year to reach the rarified top 1% of individual taxpayers. The average AGI of billionaires who claim residence in Montecito was reported to be $433,060, making the Median Household Income in Montecito a relatively modest $112,833. Middle class income in the U.S. is defined as an annual household income between $34,061 and $136,244 per year. Some 13.4% of US workers (23,294,106) reported $100,000 or more in income. Many were two income households. Single income workers clocking 40 or more hours a week averaged an income of $61,385. For those working 30+ hours weekly, the average income was $41,169. The average income for the U.S. was $55,880. A mere 1.6% of U.S. workers reported incomes of $250,000 or more.

2018 Pain in Montecito

Who Pays Taxes

The Internal Revenue Service, based on the tax year 2016, the latest year for accurate analysis by income percentiles, has determined that: The top 1% of federal taxpayers accounted for more income taxes paid at 37.3% than the bottom 90% of taxpayers combined at 30.5%. The top 3% of taxpayers paid over half (51%) of all income taxes. The top 50% of all taxpayers paid 97% of all individual income taxes. The bottom 50% of all taxpayers paid 3% of total individual income taxes. 44 million Americans paid no federal income taxes at all. 26 million households took advantage of the Earned Income Tax Credit in 2016 resulting in federal outlays totaling $61 billion. In terms of dollars paid, the wealthy pay the most because as John Dillinger quipped when asked, “Why do you rob banks?” replied “Because that that’s where the money is.”

Montecito Medium

Some 4,690 federal tax returns were filed in ZIP code 93108 (Montecito). Interestingly, 1,040 (22%) of those returns reported Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), or taxable income, of less than $25,000. Almost half of Montecito filers reported incomes of less than $100,000 per year. 19% of filers reported AGI of between $100,000 and $200,000 while 29% reported AGI above $200,000.

The December 2017 Tax Reform bill capped the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction at $10,000. That hurts taxpayers in California, New York, and other states with high property taxes and high income taxes. Personally, I find it ironic that Californians who advocate higher taxes for the wealthy are now screaming that the wealthy should have to pay more than their fair share due to a limited SALT deduction. I am one who paid more – much more – as the price for the pleasure of living in a blue high-tax state like California

A Pinion Here, A Pinion There

Those on the right contend that the best way for the nation to deal with income inequality is to increase the size of the economic pie. Increase disposable income by cutting taxes, growing the economy, creating higher paying jobs and putting more people to work. A rising tide lifts all boats. Those on the left contend that the better and fairer solution to the apparent wealth difference is to increase the taxes on higher earners and distribute the proceeds to the poor, using greater entitlements to reduce the gap. This nation has tried both approaches with mixed results. When I was a kid growing up, my father taught me an important life lesson. He posed this question: “What happens when you have three pinion nuts in one hand, and two pinion nuts in the other?” The correct answer is: “You have a difference of a pinion.” •MJ

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Santa Barbara will conduct a Public Hearing on Tuesday, May 14, 2019, during the afternoon session of the meeting which begins at 2:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber, City Hall, 735 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara. The hearing is to consider the appeal filed by Paul R. Zink, representing the Howland Family Trust of the Single Family Design Board’s decision to deny an upper-level deck proposed within 15 feet of the eastern property line (PLN2016-00025). The property is located at 1199 Harbor Hills Drive, Assessor Parcel No. 035-312-007, RS-15 (Residential Single Unit) Zone, General Plan Designation: Low Density Residential (Max 3 du/ac).

Other site improvements include an interior remodel, new covered entry porch, new concrete walkway, new retaining wall, and new stairs. The proposed total of 3,260 net square feet of development on a 10,918 square foot lot located in the Hillside Design District is 85% of the maximum allowable floor-to-lot area ratio (FAR).
