Calling Barrett her “SBC,” sister by choice, Towbes remarked that “Rona’s spirit is so extensive and expansive, I hang on her every word, hoping to learn how to live such a purposeful life.”

Barrett, of Hollywood gossip-reporting fame, explained how her father instilled in her a desire to help others and explained how when she came to the Santa Ynez Valley many years ago, she became concerned about low-income seniors there and pondered the fate of her own father if she could not take care of him. A 12-year process culmi nated in the opening of GIV in 2016, providing 40 one-bedroom and 20 studio units for low-income seniors and a multitude of programs and services for these residents.

shared that HASBARCO is happy to be partnering with RBF again to create this tremendous community asset. Without RBF, Havlicek noted, Harry’s House would not have happened. Barrett, according to Havlicek, is a relentless, fierce advocate for seniors, and HAS BARCO appreciates her passion. RBF is currently raising funds to furnish common areas at Harry’s House and to fund a vehicle for transporting resi dents, as well as for its ongoing wellness and social programs at GIV.

Anne Towbes and Rona Barrett Board Chair Cynthia Manigault, Executive Director Tony Morris, and Boardmember Jane Ayer

On August 13, the Rona Barrett Foundation (RBF) hosted a Montecito Garden Party to raise awareness and funds for the next phase of its senior affordable housing Harry’s House which it is developing in partner ship with the Housing Authority of the City of S.B. (HASBARCO) on the same Santa Ynez campus as the Golden Inn & Village, also a partnership with HASBARCO.About80guests enjoyed an afternoon recep tion on the lovely grounds of the Riven Rock home of Kohanya and Scott Groff. During the program, Advisory Boardmember Anne Towbes shared, with warmth and passion, that many low-income seniors have been lucky to be able to reside at the Golden Inn & Village (GIV), and now Harry’s House will offer 60 more units, this time in a congregate care facility for more frail seniors. “In today’s challenging world,” Towbes remarked, “our diminutive Rona has achieved a Herculean task.”

RBF offers programs and services for residents, which it deems crucial for the residents’ well-being, all free of charge. These include six meals per week, medical screenings, a computer lab, arts and crafts classes, game days, and music performances.

According to HASBARCO Executive Director Bob Havlicek, the income of many of the residents served by his agency is limited to Social Security payments of only $800-$1,000 per month. When HASBARCO began accepting applications for the 60 units, it quickly received more than 500. Harry’s House, a $30-plus million project named after Barrett’s father, is a similar partner ship with HASBARCO, but with a different level of care: It will serve more frail seniors who can still live independently they don’t need a costly assisted-living facility but need or want some services. HASBARCO will offer a package of ser vices to residents, including all meals, light house keeping, and transportation, for $425 per month. RBF will provide supplemental services and pro grams to enrich residents’ lives, all free of charge. A facility offering this level of care has always been part of Barrett’s vision. And according to Havlicek, demand for this market niche is grow ing. In the City of Santa Barbara, both Gardens on Hope and Garden Court offer this level of care, but Havlicek noted that he is not aware of any other developments in the country that do so. Harry’s House, with 60 studios, is slated for completion in July Havlicek2023.

RBF made the initial purchase of the 7.3 acre parcel of land for the projects. HASBARCO assisted with the land acquisition financing, financed (largely through state-issued low-income tax credits) and oversaw the construction of the facility, and maintains and operates it as projectbased voucher housing (Section 8 Housing).

As I wrote my Way Back When series for 1914-1919, I was impressed by how many movies were being filmed in our area. I focused on Montecito because it was interesting to see how the estates there were used to represent Ancient Rome, France in the time of Louis XIV, etc. It was also interesting that so many estates were open to movie studios filming on their properties, compared to the present day when most estates are hidden. Did you have a passion for silent films before this project?

Speaking dates: Aug. 29 - Chaucer’s Books Sept. 10 - Montecito Library Sept. 28 - SB Historical Museum Groups or organizations that are interested in hav ing Betsy present a talk or slideshow can reach her through her website at betsyjgreen.com Signed copies of the book are available at Chaucer’s Books and the Mesa Bookstore. Copies are also avail able on Amazon.com: at https://tinyurl.com/MoviesMillion-Dollar-Mansions.

Do you have any upcoming projects in the works for the future? There’s a lot of interesting movie history in our area, so my next book (for next year) is about the 200+ si lent movies filmed on the Channel Islands, and then another book about the interesting happenings behind the scenes at the “Flying A” and the other studios that filmedBetsyhere.J.Green has been a writer for more than 25 years. She was an editor at “Reader’s Digest” and “World Book Encyclopedia” and has contributed to numerous newspapers and magazines worldwide.

LOCAL AUTHOR DEBUTS BOOK: MOVIES & MILLION-DOLLAR MANSIONS: SILENT MOVIES MADE IN MONTECITO

I started out thinking that Santa Barbara’s “Flying A” studio did nearly all of the filming in Montecito. But I discovered that more than 15 studios from the Hollywood area traveled up here to film at Montecito’s estates.

Montecito is home to celebrities and roy alty, with mansions hidden behind tall hedges, long drive ways, and locked gates. But a century ago, the welcome mat was out for actors and film crews making movies set in tropi cal islands, Ancient Rome, and other lo cales.Local author & his torian Betsy J. Green has found 65 silent movies that were filmed in and at Montecito’s multi-million-dollar es tates back in the glory days, and has compiled her research into a newlyreleased book, “Movies & MillionDollar Mansions: Silent Movies Made in Montecito.” In addition to Santa Barbara’s “Flying A” studio, as many as nine teen Hollywood studios also filmed in Montecito during the 19teens and 1920s. In the early decades of filming, before the years of big budgets, it was more cost effective to find an existing mansion than to build one or to create a realistic set. Montecito’s proximity to Holly wood and wealth of luxurious es tates made it an attractive solution The films were befitting of their settings, begin ning with religious themes in 1911, then turned into melodramas and adventure; 1928 saw a jazz-age movie based on a Broadway musical. The book is structured with a chapter for each movie. Each contains a lively synopsis, behind-the-scenes info, plus photos from the film and its million-dollar setting, with over 450 im ages in total. The book’s cover contains a scene from a movie that was filmed at the first “Bellosguardo” man sion.Green, who also authors the Independent’s Great House Detective column, will present her book at Chaucer’s Books on August 29 at 6:00 PM, as well as other upcoming local venues. We sat down to ask Green about the inspiration be hind her efforts. How did you choose this particular topic?

I didn’t have a special interest in silent films before I began research ing Santa Barbara history in the 19teens. As I looked through old newspapers, I got curious about the movies playing in the local cinemas, and started looking for these movies online. Watching old silent films is a way to travel back into the past. What was something that surprised you while do ing research for the book?

INVESTMENT REAL ESTATE DEDUCTIONS

Why you need these docs: For the most part, to prove your eligibility to deduct the expense. You’ll also need receipts for capital expenditures to calculate your profit (gain) or loss when you sell the property. Landlord’s insurance and partnership agreements are important references.

HOME SALE RECORDS

Because paper, such as receipts, fades with time and takes up space, consider scanning and storing your documents on a flash drive, an external hard drive, or a cloud-based remote server. Even better, save your documents to at least two of these places. Or, you can consider an app such as Smart Receipts, which is available via Google Play and Mac App Store.

First, a little background on IRS rules, which informed some of our charts:

• Check with your state about state income tax records. Most states make you keep them as long as the federal government does — three years. But Montana wants you to keep them for five years. And Ohio recommends you hang on to them 10 years. Yes, an entire decade.

Smart Receipts lets you track your finances, includ ing receipts, for yourself or your employer. You can choose from default data types including dates, price, tax, receipt categories, comments, and payment methods.Digital copies are OK with the IRS as long as they’re identical to the originals and contain all the accurate information that was in the original receipts. You must be able to produce a hard copy if the IRS asks for one.

• The IRS can also ask for records for the last six years after a filing if they suspect someone failed to report 25% or more of their gross income. And the agency never closes the door on an audit if it suspects fraud.

*These deductions are relevant if you itemize. The standard deduction has been increased, which means fewer people will itemize than have in the past.

Property tax payment (tax bill + canceled check or bank statement showing check was Year-endcashed)

• The IRS says you should keep tax returns and the paperwork supporting them for at least three years after you file the return -- the amount of time the IRS has to audit you. So that’s how long we advise.

ORGANIZING YOUR HOME RECORDS

Tax returns

Why you need these docs: You use home sale clos ing documents and receipts for capital improvements records to calculate and document your profit (gain) when you sell your home. Your deed and mortgage payoff statements prove you own your home and have paid off your mortgage, respectively.Yourbuilder’s warranty or contract is important if you file a claim. And sooner or later you’ll need to check the CC&R rules in your condo or community association.

You probably don’t have space to store years of tax and insurance paperwork, warranties, and repair receipts related to your home. But you need that paperwork if you need to prove you deserve the tax deductions you took, to file an insurance claim, or to figure out if your busted oven is still under warranty. To help you organize your piles of papers, here is a handy checklist of how long to keep tax records.

Tip: Tax season and year’s end are good times to purge files and toss what you no longer need; that’s often when the spirit of organization moves us. When you do finally toss out your home-related paperwork, use a shredder. Throwing away intact documents with personal financial information could put you at risk for identity theft. This article provides general information about tax laws and consequences, but isn’t intended to be relied upon as tax or legal advice applicable to particular transactions or circumstances. Consult a tax profes sional for such advice.

Heat waves are becoming more frequent, more extreme, and more widespread. Air-condi tioning (AC) is ubiquitous in the U.S. (90 percent penetra tion), but not in Europe and many other regions where it is increasingly becoming a necessity. Outside the U.S., less than 25 percent of people in regions that merit AC have it. Consequently, the International Energy Agency expects AC energy con sumption to triple worldwide by 2050. Unfortunately, AC, in its current form, carries significant environmental costs: More demand for cooling leads to more warming of the planet. In addition, the refrigerants used in cooling condensers are 2,000-3,000 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a climate-warming agent when it leaks into the atmosphere.

Gradient Comfort, a San Francisco–based company, is tackling AC’s climate predicament their mission is to push the industry to zero carbon emissions. Gradient has developed an innovative window cooling and heating unit that is both efficient and eco-friendly. It is a heat pump, a technology gaining in popularity for centralized heating and cooling sys tems because of energy efficiency, but such equipment tends to be bulky, expensive, and requires professionals to install. Gra dient’s technology, however, offers a sleek, affordable, and compact alternative.

Although Gradient needs more improvements to reach its goal of zero greenhouse-gas emissions, it has taken big first steps in addressing the widespread flaws in existing systems: high cost, cum bersome installations, and unsightliness. These are important directions for wide spread adoption of cooling including in less affluent areas of the world.

Gradient won the Fast Company’s 2022 World-Changing Ideas Award. The cool ing component is 30 percent more effi cient than traditional window units. When both heating and cooling are combined, the improved efficiency jumps to 75 per cent. Another big plus is the refrigerant: Although still a hydrofluorocarbon, the fluid used by Gradient has a quarter the global devicemore.refrigeranttoTheymanufactures.usedpotentialwarmingofthosebyotherACareworkingimprovetheirevenTheGradientisdesigned to use only the amount of energy required as it is turned up or down. It is also linked to Wi-Fi in order that it can be self-adjusted when there is heavy demand on the electric grid.

The only Gradient model currently available (it only came on the market this summer) is a window unit. It sells for $2,000 compared to $5,000 or more for comparable units. Their saddle bracket fits on the windowsill of a single- or doublehung window and holds a sleek, attrac tive fan-coil unit on the inside while the evaporator heat pump is on the outside. Both components fit below the window, so that views are not obstructed. Housed with the fan coil is a quiet fan, eliminating any noise issues. The company is designing other models to fit other styles of windows, e.g., casement units. The unit is planned for do-it-yourself installation in 15 minutes with just a few basic tools.
