When I startedSenior PlanningServices over 23

years ago it was to addressseniors’ need for a centralcoordinator and facilitator oftheir health care, legal, andsocial services, so that theiroutside help could be aseffective as possible.

From my own familyexperience I knew that pro-viding such a service wouldhelp the seniors as well asthe family and friendsresponsible for their lovedones’ care.

Growing up, I watched asmy mother’s relationshipwith her brothers deteriorat-ed almost irreparably overissues related to control,access, and decision-makingon behalf of my grandmoth-er.

My mother and unclessuffered over what was hap-pening to my grandmotheras well as the burden andfrustrations it triggeredwithin the family.

In my practice I’ve alsoseen that ensuring care of anaging loved one can some-times be fraught withpainful family interactions.I’ve also learned that family“support members” canlearn to be conscious of their

own dynamics.In the same way that suc-

cessful professional supportnetworks work, family ‘sup-port members’ can createclear roles and responsibili-ties to get the most benefitfor their loved ones — andtheir own peace of mind.

One common familydynamic is when one grownchild of a senior parent livesnearby and another livesout-of-town. Often the localsibling can feel under-appre-ciated, overwhelmed andunsupported for their day-to-day efforts.

In contrast, the out-of-town sibling feels shut-out,excluded, and guilty fortheir inability to contributein the same way as the localsibling does. They can feelresentful that the supportthey can offer seems to goesunappreciated by the localsibling.

Add a lifetime of dynam-ics from childhood to thestress of having a belovedparent developing newneeds – and one can see howfamilies can be strained tothe breaking point.

One person compared hisout-of-town sibling to aseagull – “he just flies in,poops all over everything,and flies out.”

The out-of-towner had allkinds of suggestions aftertalking with experts; sugges-tions that the local siblingwould be left to implement.No wonder the local siblingwasn’t so eager to listen andthe out-of-town sibling feltunwelcome.

The good news is that thiscan be addressed by a con-scious effort to understandeach person’s role,resources, and emotionalneeds.

Start by creating time andspace for family meetings.Especially for the first meet-

ing, the close-by sibling canoffer insights into day-to-day issues and the long-dis-tance sibling can offerimpressions of change overtime.

Work toward agreementof what is going on, whatthings need to be done dayto day, and changes that mayneed to me made over time.Look to the strengths of eachperson to assign roles andtasks.

Usually the one who livesclosest will be the maincaregiver and see to mostcoordination.

If you are the main care-giver, living close by, bethoughtful about delegatingtasks. Reach out before andafter doctor’s appointmentsto share information andconcerns.

Let your long-distancefamily help; you need thesupport too.

Often the long-distancecaregiver can help keephousehold and other carematters in order, and evencoordinate professionalservices and appointments.Between visits, you can takethe initiative to make regularphone calls to check in withbrothers, sisters and extend-ed family or friends in addi-tion to your senior loved

one. Being a sounding boardand a good listener takespatience, but it’s well worththe effort.

I am happy to report thatmy own family has beenable to successfully putthese principles into prac-tice.

We know there willalways be tough moments towork through, but over timewe have learned how towork through them together.We have learned how to cre-ate healthier checks and bal-ances across the distanceand we have become somuch closer for it.

Next time I’ll be talkingabout another common issuerelated to senior caregivingand how families with agingloved ones can communi-cate better with each other.

November will see two hotly contestedraces that affect Montecito voters.

Hannah-Beth Jackson will take on MikeStoker for the 19th District State Senate seat.

Stoker, a former Santa Barbara CountySupervisor, received 46.6 percent of thevote, with 31,009 votes. Jackson, a formerthree-termAssemblywoman received 40 per-cent of the vote, 26,585 votes.

The two are expected to wage a high-stakes, expensive, and likely ugly battle forthe senate seat.

“There was no question that Mr. Stoker

was going to get Republican support,”Jackson said. “I am confident the people ofthe district share my values and vision andwill make sure that I that get elected inNovember.”

Although Stoker was the only Republicanin the open primary, Jackson battledDemocrat Jason Hodge, an Oxnard HarborCommissioner, who received about 13 per-cent of the vote.

Jackson has campaigned on a platform ofre-investing in schools and education andcreating more green and alternative energyjobs. Stoker believes California lawmakers

AA bbrruusshh wwiitthh ssuucccceessssICAN’T PAINT and I don’t drink.

So why was I having such a goodtime at the Painted Cabernet, a

new hotspot downtown where peoplegather to sip local wines and exhibittheir inner Monet?

Part of that answer lies with MariaWilson, the charis-matic owner ofthis “paint bar”who has created aspace that lendsitself to fun andfraternizing.

Armed withpaint, brushes,aprons and a glassof wine or two,patrons create

unique pieces of art under the ebul-lient tutelage of an instructional artist.

There’s music, laughter, even somedancing in the aisles.

Maria, born in 1961 in Columbia,South America, is barely a babyboomer but she’s definitely ready forher next chapter.

She moved back to Santa Barbaratwo years ago, after a couple ofdecades of being away. Her familyemigrated to California when she was10, after a cousin, who was doing aresidency at St. Johns Hospital inOxnard, convinced them to leave theirnative country which had become dan-gerous due to kidnappings.

It was a tough adjustment for thethird grader who didn’t speak English,but pretty soon she became aCalifornia girl and Santa Barbara waswhere she wanted to be.

Maria moved here after receiving abusiness degree from Sawyer Collegeand worked at the Cancer Center ofSanta Barbara for 7 years, doingadministration and fundraising.

Although she loved the work, sheand her first husband couldn’t affordto buy a house so they moved toDenver.

She continued her work for majorhospitals, building skills along theway.

“I had a great ease with computers,”she said. “I was the one in charge ofautomating the cancer center inDenver. I learned computer graphicsby doing them.”

Her first marriage didn’t work out,but when she met Monte Wilson at arestaurant in Denver, it was “love atfirst sight.” They soon married and

when their daughter Alex was born,Maria opened up her own medicalmarketing company, doing websitesand graphic designs for clients such asworld renowned plastic surgeon, Dr.David Broadway.

She worked exclusively for him forseven years, creating a huge marketingcampaign, paving the way for otherdoctors to realize the benefit of adver-tising.

Monte was VP at a software compa-ny that dealt primarily with defenseand military organizations and he hadbeen commuting to Washington forwork.

It became difficult to sustain theirfamily life, so they all relocated to DCin 2006. Ironically, right after themove, Monte became Vice President

of Adobe for all of North America,handling the creative side: Photoshop,the movie industry, etc. and he begancommuting to California. So after 25years of being away, Maria returned toher beloved Santa Barbara, which iswhere she had always wanted to retire.

She knew she wanted to work butwas ready to try something different.Monte had suggested a car wash or agelato place (NOT what Maria envi-sioned when she said she wanted to be“hands on”), but once she saw the“Canvas and Cocktails” concept inDenver, Maria knew it was perfect forher and for Santa Barbara.

A stiff painful neck and limited rota-tion had me make a consultationappointment with one of Montecito’snewest health care practitioners, Dr.Aaron Stauber.

Located for the past 8 months insidea beautiful ocean view office on thesecond floor inside Simpatico Pilatesstudio, Dr. Stauber has set up his newpractice.

Originally from Sheboygan,Wisconsin, Dr. Stauber graduated fromPalmer Chiropractic School in 2002and has practiced in New York andOntario, Canada prior to moving to theCentral Coast.

Dr. Staubler felt that Santa Barbara

with its vibrant, heath-conscious com-munity, was a good place to open apractice. Dr. Stauber explained to mebefore performing a delicate adjust-ment that involved no cracking orcrunching how you hold your head hasa lot to do with overall health.

Misalignment of the uppermost cer-vical vertebra of the spine affects bloodpressure, and can cause headaches,back and arm pain, anxiety, depression,insomnia, dizziness, vision problems,pain and even allergies, said Dr.Stauber.

The part of the body next to the baseof the brain stem is call the “atlas.”

The serious, but affable, Dr. Staubershowed me with the help of a plastermodel why upper cervical doctors joke

a lot about “getting your head onstraight.”

‘People go through life brushingtheir teeth because they know it is goodfor them. The same holds true for thespine, especially the upper part of yourneck,” he said. “There is reason whypeople’s shoulders come up aroundtheir ears when they are stressed out orthey are scared. The body naturallyprotects your neck because it is so vitalto your health.”Dr. Aaron Stauber1235 Coast Village Road Suite 1(Inside Simpatico)Montecito, Ca [email protected]

Stoker is for a two-tiered pension system,Jackson is not. Jackson favors an oil sever-ance tax, Stoker is opposed.

In the battle for the 24th CongressionalDistrict, Lois Capps will take on AbelMaldonado for the seat. Capps was thehighest vote-getter with 47.5 percent of thevote, 31,938 votes, followed byMaldonado, who received 28.18 percent,18,957 votes.

Capps has held the seat for more than 15years and has enjoyed an advantage inDemocratic Party registration. But after theredistricting last year, Capps only enjoys a 4percent Democratic advantage.

“I look forward to meeting residentsacross the district in the months ahead anddiscussing important issues, includinghow we can improve our economy andcreate more jobs, protect Social Securityand Medicare, and make college moreaffordable,” Capps said in a written state-ment.

Maldonado is Capps’s most formidableopponent yet. A moderate Republican, hemoved from the Santa Maria City Council to

the state Assembly, then Senate and to Lt.Governor. Now, he’s seeking Capps’ con-gressional seat.

“Folks in this community are looking fora change in representation,” Maldonadosaid.

In other election results, Measures X andW failed to reached the necessary two-thirdsmajority needed for approval.

The $54 parcel tax measures would havehelped support music, math, science andtechnology instruction. Math classes in 9thgrade would help maintain a

student-to-teacher ration of 20:1 if thesemeasures pass.

Together the parcels would have broughtin $17 million in

funding to elementary, junior high andhigh schools. Residents in Montecito votedon Measure W, which would have benefitedthe junior high and high schools. Voters inthe city of Santa Barbara voted both X andW, which would have helped the 15,000 stu-dents in the elementary and junior and highschools.

The money will mostly pay for teachers— not administrative salaries — to provideinstruction for these classes, but also equip-ment, depending on the needs of individualschools.

After the failure, the Santa BarbaraUnified School District will discuss whathappens next at Tuesday’s meeting.

The district could decided to put themeasures on the ballot again in November ornext June.

IN MEMORIUM

Remembering

““a Legenda Legend

BY NICK C. TONKIN

Naomi Schwartz was an environmental leader,helped shaped Montecito activism

MONTECITO AND the SantaBarbara community are mourningthe loss of longtime Montecito

resident Naomi Schwartz, who served 12years on the Santa Barbara County Board ofSupervisors.

Schwartz, regarded as one of SantaBarbara’s pioneer environmentalists andactivists, died on Monday, after complica-tions from surgery. She was 78.

“No one cared more deeply about SantaBarbara, and California generally, or workedmore passionately to preserve its quality andthe public’s enjoyment of it,” said SaludCarbajal, First District County Supervisor,who succeeded Schwartz and was her chiefof staff. “Our community has lost a greatpublic servant, leader and friend. Naomi’slegacy will live on for many generations tocome.”

Those that knew Schwartz say she had thecombination of intelligence, empathy,integrity, and industriousness that allowedher to get results both in politics and heractivism. J’Amy Brown, former president ofthe Montecito Association, said that helpedMontecito get better representation at thecounty level.

“She had the ability to coordinate betweenpeople with different political concerns andwalk away with everyone happy,” Brownsaid.

A New York native and Queens Collegegraduate, Schwartz came to Santa Barbara in

1967. She earned her law degree from theSanta Barbara College of Law. She workedas an elementary school teacher and psy-chology researcher.

Schwartz’s political involvement startedafter the 1969 Platform A oil spill where she

helped gather signatures to establish theCalifornia Coastal Commission. She wouldlater be appointed to the South CentralRegional Commission and ultimately thestate commission in 1976, eventually serv-ing as chair.

She went on to be Chief of Staff for StateSenator Gary K. Hart from 1982 to 1992.

In 1992, a seat opened up in the county’sfirst district and Schwartz ran for and wonthe seat. She served on the board for threeterms, retiring in 2005. Former countysupervisor Susan Rose described her as oneof the smartest and hardworking womenshe’d ever known, and she could always becounted on for advice.

“Her voice mattered,” Rose said.As a supervisor Schwartz set many of the

county’s land use policies geared towardpreserving the environment that are still ineffect today. She teamed with fellow super-visors to fend off efforts to put in more off-shore drilling and protect the Gaviota coast-line.

She also helped the county establish rep-resentation in Sacramento by hashing out asolid legislative platform and hire the coun-

ty’s first legislative advocate. To makepolitical involvement easier for citi-zens, she worked to make countyreports and documents more accessibleand readable to the public.

Schwartz had a profound love forthe Montecito’s semi-rural characterand left a legacy in the form of com-munity planning. She helped get theMontecito Community Plan solidifiedand then also broke gridlock on theboard to form the Montecito PlanningCommission and establish Montecito’sown Architectural Board of Review.

After the creeks overran in 1995, caus-ing massive flooding and several near-fatalities, Schwartz pushed for the infra-structure upgrades that resulted in theMontecito Debris Basin’s construction.

But Schwartz’s accomplishmentsdidn’t stop at the dais.

She had been a trailblazer forwomen in politics. As one of the found-ing mothers of the Santa BarbaraWomen’s Political Committee in 1988,she helped shape an organization thatchanged the political landscape forwomen in Santa Barbara.

Figures such as CongresswomanLois Capps, former AssemblywomanHannah-Beth Jackson, and Rose her-self all had their origins with the com-mittee.

“It started to enable women to makea difference in the community,” Rosesaid.

Rep. Lois Capps, D-Santa Barbara,said Schwartz had been a mentor forher and a tremendous fighter for theenvironment, families, and the SantaBarbara community.

“Naomi was a wonderful person anda dedicated public servant who repre-sented our community with exception-

al diligence and decency,” Capps said.“She was never afraid to tackle the dif-ficult problems – and did so with a can-do spirit and graceful tenacity.”

Transportation activist Alex Pujocredited Schwartz with helping tochange the mindset of transportationplanners. Schwartz had been responsi-ble for getting the Highway 101 TaskForce up and running in 1993.

“Ms. Schwartz changed the wayprojects were planned and funded bydramatically improving public partici-pation in processes previously con-trolled by Public Works directors,”Pujo said.

Schwartz also built a reputation forreaching across political boundaries.Former Santa Barbara City Councilmember Dan Secord recalledSchwartz’s willingness to reach out toany council member at times whencounty-city relationships had been

touchy.“She walked the talk,” Secord said. Schwartz was a founding member of

several community organizationsincluding the Fund for Santa Barbara,Courthouse Legacy Foundation, andCoastwatch. So profound wasSchwartz’s influence on the communi-ty that the county building at 130 EastVictoria Street now bears her name.

A vast array of today’s politicalheavyweights consider her a mentor.Her own daughter Deborah Schwartzserves on the Santa Barbara PlanningCommission.

Assemblyman Das Williams agreedthat Santa Barbara might not be thecommunity that it is today withoutSchwartz.

“The politics of the community andthe environment of the communitywould be much different withoutNaomi Schwartz,” Williams said.

1. Did you know you can “suspend” ben-efits?

If a person files and begins receiving SocialSecurity benefits, there is an option to suspendthe benefit and to start re-accumulating the 8%annual delayed credits at full retirement ageuntil age 70. This may be a strategy that some-one would consider in order to take advantageof the delayed credits if they resume employ-ment and thus, have earned income.

2. What are the primary strategies to theclaiming-age decision?

� Widow(er) strategy – Widows and wid-owers can take a reduced benefit on one recordand later switch to a full benefit on the otherrecord.

� Claim now, claim more later strategy –switching from spousal to own benefit

� File and suspend strategy – workingspouse files and suspends in order that non-working spouse can receive spousal benefit

� Triple-dip strategy – Spouse with lowersocial security benefit claims from their recorduntil spouse with higher benefit files and thenspouse can receive higher spousal benefit.

� Maximize the survivor benefit strategy –delaying the primary worker’s benefit to

ensure larger benefit is available for survivingspouse if primary working spouse dies first.

� Minimize the “tax torpedo” strategy –minimize tax consequences by trading retire-ment asset income for Social Security income

� Maximizing through suspension-of-benefits strategy – benefits suspended due togoing back to work, which results in recalcu-lated benefits at full retirement age

Maria dove into the work, creating abusiness plan, finding the perfect location,acquiring all the necessary permits, etc.

“I don’t waste time,” she said. “I gofull force, day and night. This business islike having a baby: lots of aches andpains and sleepless nights. But ultimatelyworth it.” Her marketing background waspriceless in setting up all the social mar-keting and advertising and the savvyentrepreneur has begun targeting thetourist trade via hotels and cruise shipconnections.

“It’s a lot more fun that I thought itwould be. It’s really exciting.” she said. “Iwork 7 days a week and nights...there’ssomething to be said about putting on regu-lar clothes and make-up and talking to peo-ple after you’ve been working from homeand wearing sweats.”

Maria Wilson is determined to make ThePainted Cabernet a uniquely Santa Barbaraexperience, staffing it with local artists,selling local crafts and jewelry and servinghigh end local wines.

Even local non-profits will benefit dueto her plan of hosting 3-4 fundraisers amonth.

She says “to start a business, you reallyneed the support of your partner or spouse.

If they’re not into it, it won’t work.”When husband Monte began the now

popular Cars and Coffee, which meetsevery Sunday morning in Montecito, Mariaworked with him on the marketing,newsletters and postcards that helped

spread the word.The event has become so successful that

they’re running out of space on CoastVillage Road for the weekly array of spec-tacular vehicles.

Danny Kaye said that “life is a great big

canvas, and you should throw all the painton it you can.”

Maria Wilson is doing just that.
