4 MONTECITO JOURNAL • The Voice of the Village • 24 April – 1 May 2014 Editorial by James Buckley The Man from the 4th District ourth District Supervisor Peter Adam is a throwback in more ways than one. Firstly, he sports Fa distinctive, almost unsettling, mut- ton-chop-style mustache that spreads across the top of his upper lip and under his nose, sprawling into the middle of his cheeks but not quite con- necting with what would otherwise be sideburns. It is disconcerting. But, it does make it easy to pick him out of a crowd. Secondly, he was – up until his election to the Board of Supervisors – a working farmer whose stand- ing-water puddle-after-a-heavy-rain became classified as a wetland by the Environmental Protection Agency. He The refreshingly frank and facially hirsute 4th District Supervisor Peter Adam discusses his pri- fought that designation for a decade, orities at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on Coast Village at first winning a multi-million-dol- Road lar judgment against Santa Barbara County until the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overruled it. Thirdly, he is a small-government man sitting alongside at least three big-gov- ernment compatriots on the board. He doesn’t get along well with them and they don’t get along well with him. But he’s okay with that. “We butt heads,” he admits, during a half-hour conversation at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on Coast Village Road. Making Friends Some time after the 9th Circuit decision came down against his family farm, Peter decided to fight City Hall by running for a seat on the Board of Supervisors. “I was driving to work on Highway 1,” he begins, “and Joni Gray was on Building the radio with Steve Lavagnino’s dad, who was at the time the mayor of Santa Maria. [Steve is 5th District Supervisor; his father is Larry J. Lavagnino]. They Peace of were going down the litany of all the things that were wrong in both the city Peace and the county. She said, and I quote, ‘I don’t know what we’re going to do.’ You could just see her throw her hands up in the air. She really meant it. “The thing is, I’ve got four hundred employees [at Adam Brothers Farming]. It’s not a huge company, but you can’t be the boss and not have an answer. At Mind least say, ‘I don’t have an answer, but I’m gonna get one. I’m working on it.’ “I just said to myself, if you’re not going to say what you’re going to do, then you can’t have that job. You certainly can’t have it for free, where nobody runs against you.” This was in late 2011. “I asked for support, found many receptive ears, and we beat her.” He adds that he “worked for her. I like her. I put up signs for her,” suggesting his successful challenge that removed her from office was never personal. Peter is fearless and outspoken when judging his fellow supervisors. For example, when I suggested it would be difficult if not impossible to beat 1st District Supervisor Salud Carbajal, he responds, “If you offered voters in the 1st District any legitimate human being, you could beat Salud.” “That’s pretty rough,” I suggest. “I’m not here to make friends,” he shrugs. Adam’s Priorities According to the Santa Maria Sun, Adam’s “top five platform issues during the campaign were budgetary, including bolstering the strategic reserve, implementing pension reform, retaining public safety, decreasing long-term debt, and improving infrastructure.” Visit Our Website GIFFIN & CRANE GiffinAndCrane.com His priorities have changed a little, though his top priority remains infra- GENERAL CONTRACTORS, INC. structure repair and maintenance. “One of the fundamental duties of county (805) 966-6401 > License 611341 government is public safety,” he says, so that also remains a priority.

One of the best ways to reduce your estate value is by utilizing your $14,000 annual gifts (per recipient). These gifts are not taxable to anyone and can be lev- eraged greatly. As an example, a couple with three children could gift $42,000 each ($84,000 total annually). Under current law, any amount up to that $5.34 million qualifies for a lifetime exemption and so, if desired, can be gifted to heirs tax-free. An excellent way of achieving this is through the purchase of life insurance. By investing these annual gifts and/or part of your lifetime exemption in a carefully structured life insurance policy (or policies), substantial income and estate tax-free benefits can accrue for generations to come.

34 MONTECITO JOURNAL • The Voice of the Village • 24 April – 1 May 2014 As for Red Eye, he says the show “speaks to the edgy and sincerely rebellious nature of Fox News.

They didn’t even know who I was, but they had just seen what I had written on the Huffington Post and sent some- Proudly serving the Central Coast since 2000 body out to London to meet with me. Red Eye is the most rebellious, anti-main- stream show that’s ever been on television and Fox is doing it.” Gutfeld then offered advice to the younger people in the mostly older audi- ence. “They say at these college commencements to follow your dream,” he begins. “That’s baloney. Don’t follow your dream. Your dream will find you if you get a job and start working. You’ll learn to get up to go to work, if you don’t like the job, you either learn to like it or you move on.” Also specializing in epoxy garage fl oors Another piece of advice was that “you’ve got to be willing to move.

If you start having fun in life before you earn it, you’ll never actually earn it. You will never actually grow up.” “Say ‘yes’ to work. I said yes to American Spectator.” He worked in the mail room and relates that “the second day on the job, I got a letter from someone who kept sending stuff every two weeks or so. The guy who worked with me in the mailroom said, ‘Oh, just toss those. That’s what we do with submissions.’ A lot of magazines do that because no one has time to read them. So, I go, ‘Okay, I’ll just toss this, Mr. Limbaugh. It was Rush Limbaugh. I’m not joking.” He quipped that he had a lot in common with Ronald Reagan, including that “Reagan once co-starred with a monkey named Bonzo; I once did a show with Chris Matthews.” When he got serious again, he noted that Reagan “restored a much-needed Dine American optimism. After a horrible decade, he reaffirmed our country’s belief in its exceptionalism and its superiority, and confidently reminded the world that we actually run this place and if you don’t like it, that’s tough. It was a brave and exceptional stance, and one that we need now more than ever.” in

For this production, Glass removed the original film’s soundtrack and replaced it with his own absorbing musical score played live by the Philip Glass Ensemble. The dialogue is also performed live (in French, with English subtitles) by four vocalists who are synchronized with the actors in the film. Unfortunately, Glass himself is not appearing with his ensemble – conducted, as it has been for more than 40 years, by his close colleague Michael Riesman – but the vocalists will be here in person: mezzo-soprano Hai-Ting Chinn as La Bête, soprano Marie Mascari as La Belle, and baritones Gregory Purnhagen and Peter Stewart in supporting roles. The Evening Standard (U.K.) called Glass’ approach to the work “an act of veneration of one artist for another, educational, entertaining and the shape of things to come.” We think you’ll Diana Paradise also be suitable impressed.
