The City Council voted to approve a redesign of the Library Plaza. Plans call for the walls to be removed and the area to be leveled, and will incorporate community input.
City Council votes to redesign area, caps cost at $2 million BY NICK C. TONKIN
DAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENT
The Santa Barbara City Council gave the green light to start redesigning the Library Plaza. In a 6-1 vote, the council approved funding to local design firm Campell & Campell to renovate the area in front of the Santa Barbara Public Library on Anapamu Street.
“It’s been a long time coming,” Council member Grant House said after making the motion. The redesign process is scheduled to take place over nine months. The basic premise of the project is to remove the walls and make the area level. However, the process calls for public workshops over that time for
community input. The Santa Barbara Museum of Art and some neighboring businesses have already expressed interest in the process. The Council approved an additional $68,478 on top of the $150,000 already allocated for the preliminary phase. The cost of the project is capped at $2 million, with funding coming
through a loan agreement with the Redevelopment Agency. Council members sought to allay concerns that the money is being misspent. Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider said that Redevelopment funds could only be used for capital improvements and not for extending services. See LIBRARY, page 3

The Santa Barbara City Council heard the mid-year budget adjustments on Tuesday. Despite union concessions, the fire department took heavy hits from both revenue loss and sick time. Beginning on a bright note, Jill Taura, Treasurer Manager, reported improved revenues in both bed and sales tax, as well as property taxes holding steady. Sales taxes increased 3.9 percent through September 30 for $4.4 million, the only hard numbers available. The bed tax is projected to increase 6.6 percent by the end of the year and bring in $12.2 million. Property taxes are expected to come in at $23 million. “We have still lost many years of growth,” Taura said. “But it looks like we finally turned the corner.” Rudy Livingston, city accounting manager, then reported the mid-year adjustments, adding that Jill had already, “given you the good news.” The majority of the city’s general fund is devoted to public safety and the majority of mid-year adjustments came from there. Mutual aid revenues from the fire department — where the city assists other fire departments — were down $900,000 below budget. Livingston noted that this simply meant there weren’t many fires outside of the city.
‘We have still lost many years of growth, but it looks like we finally turned the corner.’
– JILL TAURA Livingston said this drop is partially offset by a $550,000 reduction in mutual aid overtime. The city also eliminated hazardous materials fee that would have been charged when the fire department was called in for accidents and associated spills. That would have brought in $100,000. The fire department required $40,000 dollars to replace its portable defibrillators, as the company that made them no longer produces replacement parts for that line. The replacements are being paid for from a $52,000 insurance payment from a 2010 incident where a water pipe broke and damaged equipment and furniture used by department administrative staff. The fire department also experienced a large amount of injuries, 4,600 hours of injuries, compared with 2,500 hours in a normal year. This caused a
$422,934 spike in expenses. Chief Andrew DiMizio called the increase in injuries a “generational” thing with many firefighters having some 30-plus years of experience. “This was sort of a perfect storm type situation for the fire department,” DiMizio said. DiMizio believed the remainder would balance out as many of the injured retired. Under questioning from Council member Frank Hotchkiss, Livingston assured that steps are taken to ensure that employees claiming injury are in fact injured. The city got $635,369 in labor concessions from the firefighters and another $662,974 from the police. This left $342,578 in project concessions unrealized, however city Financial Director Robert Samario wasn’t too concerned. Samario said this was because concessions had been negotiated over a three year period, some concessions would spread over to the next fiscal year. “What we needed and what we wanted was spread over more years,” Samario said. The special election for Measure T, banning medical marijuana dispensaries in Santa Barbara, added $20,000 in administration costs.

Poll: Most support bulb-out cuts
DAILY SOUND STAFF REPORT Proposed bulb-outs on Chapala Street were stricken from the design plan last month when conservative councilmembers Dale Francisco, Michael Self, Frank Hotchkiss and Randy Rowse voted to eliminate them. The Chapala Street Design Guidelines, approved in 2004, required that new developments include the curb extensions. Some residents, however, think the devices are a safety hazard. Discontent over the policy helped usher Francisco, Self and Hotchkiss into City Hall. Rowse was appointed to the council to replace Das Williams, who was elected to the State Assembly.

FROM PAGE 1 “It can’t be used to keep the library open on Mondays,” Schneider said. Schneider also asserted out that the $2 million number is to give the renovation some flexibility. The final project would not necessarily cost that much, pointing out approval would start the design process, when the community could have more input into the actual project.
‘We’re just going to start going out and meeting with people and talk about what the ideas are for that plaza.’ – BRIAN BOSSE
“It’s possible that after all these conversations we’ll find something that will cost significantly less,” Schneider said. “Really it depends on what we hear from the community.” Staff also assured the council that the $2 million loan agreement wouldn’t be taken out ahead of time. Housing and Redevelopment Manager Brian Bosse said money would only be taken when the council approved it. Bosse said in the event

that the Redevelopment Agency is scrapped in California State budget negotiations, taxpayers wouldn’t be on the hook for unspent money from the loan. “This loan acts as additional security against taking by the state,” Bosse said. Some citizens expressed concern over the numbers of homeless that hang out on the Plaza. Jeremy Tessmer, representing the Sullivan-Goss Gallery, said that it isn’t a homeless issue, but criminality. Tessmer claimed the Gallery has had four attacks since 2006 from “residents” of the Plaza.
“When you’re planning this, don’t think of it as a homeless issue,” Tessmer said. “Please, please, please think of it as a public safety issue.” Ginny Brush, executive director of the Arts Commission, agreed. Brush said the area is central to the downtown arts scene with its proximity to the Art Museum, the Courthouse, La Arcada, and the Granada. She pointed out that the Plaza gives people coming out of the Granada parking garage the first impression of downtown Santa Barbara. “When you exit towards the museum, this is the first thing they see,” See REDESIGN, page 12
Officials will seek community input for the redesign of the library’s plaza.

Coral Casino wants Montecito planning commission meeting
DAILY SOUND STAFF REPORT Coral Casino is charging that Ty Warner Hotels and Resorts has failed to comply with the promises the company made when it renovated the private social, swim and tennis club in 2005. The member committee filed a request on Tuesday with the county, asking that the Montecito planning commission hold a hearing to discuss whether Ty Warner is complying with the Coastal Development Permit. “We have spent many fruitless months trying to resolve these issues privately with the TWHR, but have
been stone-walled,” said William Reyner, chair of the Member Committee. “This dispute is not only of concern to members of the club. The integrity of the county planning process is at stake.” Reyner said if the county does not enforce its permit conditions, the Biltmore Hotel will “swallow up the Coral Casino,” and “destroy this treasure the community has enjoyed for 70 years.” Calls to Ty Warner Hotels and Resorts were not returned. The dispute highlights the latest ten-
sion between the private Coral Casino and the Four Seasons Biltmore. Members of the Coral Casino are looking for a clearer separation between the casino and the Four Seasons Hotel. Warner received approval to restore the Coral Casino in 2005. At the time, members were hopeful that Warner would reduce the conflicts between Coral Casino users and hotel guests, preserve the unique charm of the Coral Casino for its members and not “further commercialize it.” “Instead, after obtaining that See CASINO, page 12

Senate vows to renew Patriot Act anti-terrorism provisions
The Senate approved a bill on Tuesday to extend for 88 days three provisions of the anti-terrorism Patriot Act set to expire in two weeks. The Democratic-led Senate took the action on a bipartisan vote of 86-12, giving it more time to address civil-liberty concerns about the provisions that authorize expanded U.S. powers to track suspected terrorists. The bill would also provide the Senate additional time to reach an agreement with the House of Representatives on a possibly longer-term extension and added safeguards. The Senate-passed measure amended legislation approved by the new Republican-led House on Monday that would provide a nine-month renewal of the provisions.

Can you avoid Diabetes? FITNESS
I really don’t like to see diabetics, especially type 2 diabetics, who talk about the disease as being a genetic problem that they have no control over. Has our society really convinced us of this? Diabetes was just about obsolete 150 yrs ago. It was very rare to find someone who had the disease, type 1 or type 2. Now, it’s out of control. Are our genes really getting worse and causing more of us to acquire this illness? A child who acquires type 1 is much different that an adult who acquires type 1. Maybe a child was born with a worse hand? Could a child’s diabetic situation arise from their parent’s decisions in life such as lack of activity and overconsumption of processed sugars? If that is possible then maybe the child inherited genes that were mores predisposed to the condition. Or maybe it’s a combination of genes and lifestyle. Many researchers are claiming that childhood diabetes type 1 and type 2 could be related to excess sugar intake and a poor quality diet. Children consuming sodas, juices, milkshakes and candy in excess may be a big contributing factor in acquiring type 1 or type 2. A child who consumes these choices in excess and is
more sedentary and has parents who are sedentary may just have the recipe for early onset diabetes of either type. Both type 1 and type 2 are on the rise and this is unacceptable. Does it have anything to do with the fact that America is mainly overweight and sedentary? Do we have some control over our own health or is it just completely up to the medical community to fix us when we get sick? Can BOB someone actually their diabetWILCHER reverse ic status? When it comes to type 2 diabetes the verdict is out. Absolutely! What about type 1? That still needs a lot more research and in-depth studies, but there is mounting evidence that a change in lifestyle in a type 1 diabetic can significantly help them. Type 2 diabetes is clearly the more prominent type and it has absolutely been linked to lifestyle. This is a very

debilitating disease that creates many negative changes in one’s body which can lead to serious problems and early death. But it’s possible to reverse it through natural methods. What is wrong with us? I would think every practitioner in the world will acknowledge that a lifestyle change would greatly change a type 2 diabetics condition. Will we ever change the trends? I don’t know. It seems that exercise and eating healthy are something that people just don’t have time for. That blows me away. Why is it an option? Everything in your life improves when you make regular exercise and healthy eating a priority.

Rigo Ramirez went 3-4 and scored two runs Tuesday, leading L.A. Mission to a 6-3 baseball win over SBCC at Pershing Park. The first four batters collected nine of the Eagles' 14 hits and scored four times. Four pitchers held the Vaqueros to five hits and struck out 10. SBCC (2-6) fell to 0-6 at home after going 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position. “We didn’t take advantage of our opportunities and didn’t swing the bats like we have in the last four or five games,” said coach Ryan Thompson. The Eagles jumped ahead 4-1 after three innings. Joey Epperson drove in SBCC’s run with an RBI double in the first. Both of Mission’s runs in the third were unearned after third baseman Pat Cavalier threw it over the catcher’s head on a bunt, allowing two runners to score. Cavalier had two hits. Epperson and White doubled for the second straight day. Mission improved to 5-1 with the only

He did not assert that any specific bank or hedge fund knew about or was an accomplice in his Ponzi scheme, which Picard said cost investors more than $20 billion.

Then, 10 days later, he said "the banks and funds were complicit in one form or another and my information to Picard when he was here established this."

Here Kitty, Kitty! FOR PET’S SAKE
There’s a lighthearted saying that goes something like this: “Dogs come when called. Cats take a message and get back to you.” For anyone who has ever shared their home with both canine and feline friends, you know this statement is true! But it doesn’t have to be that way. “Your cat is perfectly capable of learning to come when called,” says Dr. Julia Albright, a veterinarian at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. “The key is to use a training method like ‘clicker training’ to reward your cat when she performs a certain task.” [Visit Amazon.com and type “Clicker Training for Cats” in the search box for a list of good books on the subject.] According to Dr. Albright, the clicker—an inexpensive, hand-held device that makes a distinct ‘clicking’ sound—tells a cat when she does something her person likes and signals that a treat is forthcoming. If you want your cat to come to you or do something else like touch her nose with her paw, wait until she does it naturally, then immediately ‘click’ and give her a treat (IMMEDIATELY being the operative word here). “Timing is an important component of
training cats,” says Dr. Albright. “Some aren’t really motivated to perform on cue and they take their time sniffing a treat before eating it, whereas most dogs will gobble it up. By the time a finicky cat eats the treat, she no longer associates a treat with the action performed. That’s why I think clicker training is so good for cats – it gives them immediate feedback.” Now you may be asking yourself why in the heck you’d want to train a cat to come when called. Glad you asked. KAREN LEE There are several occasions when you may need STEVENS to round up your kitty cats. For example, when: • An indoor-only cat slips outside • An emergency such as a fire forces a hasty evacuation • You’re leaving the house and want to do a “roll call” to ensure all your cats are safe See KITTY, page 7

FROM PAGE 3 Brush said. Bosse said security measures could be taken into account, noting that the design process is still at the beginning. “We’re just going to start going out and meeting with people and talk about what the ideas are for that plaza,” Bosse said. The project was greeted with enthusiasm by most of the council. Dale Francisco said that the project
is exactly what RDA funds were meant for, citing the potential improvement on part of Santa Barbara’s cultural epicenter. He also said that the project could pay for itself in the long run. “I guarantee you that if this project is done right, it will more than return the money that we put into it,” Francisco said. Council member Randy Rowse agreed, calling the Library Plaza a “tangible asset” and believing Redevelopment Agency money would be better spent in Santa Barbara rather
than sent back to Sacremento. “I almost think it may be irresponsible to pass up an opportunity like this to maintain an asset that’s as valuable as the library is to us,” Rowse said. Council member Michael Self cast the lone dissenting vote, believing a complete redesign of the area isn’t necessary and skepticism about whether the $2 million “ceiling” could be kept. “Most projects that we see get legs and they become much larger in scope than what we intended,” Self said.
CASINO
FROM PAGE 4 approval, the owner has increased hotel guest use, prevented members from full use of the club, and used intimidation and economic coercion to attempt to stifle member objections to its practices,” a press release from the member committee states. The hotel guest situation is the heart of the matter, Reyner told The Daily Sound. Reyner said that Warner got permission from the county to make renovations by promising certain actions, but has not fallen through on them. In a letter from their attorney Derek Westen, the members charge that hotel guest use of the Coral Casino is “now completely unregulated.” During holiday periods hotel guests overrun the Coral Casino, destroying any private atmosphere, the letter states. They also say that to obtain approval to restore the casino, Warner proposed a separate entrance for hotel guests to use the new Tydes restaurant.

FROM PAGE 7 Training a cat is easier than you think—especially when treats are involved! Case in point: My cat, Miss Bella. This feline foodie will do just about anything short of actually sitting on my lap (another story for another column) in order to have the chance to gobble a few Greenie treats. There are many healthy, tasty treats on the market, so experiment until you find one that your cat just can’t resist. Hint: real meat, cheese or tuna offer unlimited training possibilities! Next, develop a call—preferably something short and simple. It can be as straightforward as calling her name (“Belle, treat!”). If your cat responds to the sound of a can or bag of food being

After receiving approval, Warner built the entrance but keeps it locked, forcing hotel guests to enter through the main entrance and “walk freely throughout the Club,” the letter states. “The members never would have
supported the recent renovation plan if the owner had candidly told them what it was actually planning, and the County never would have approved the plan," according to the statement.

opened (most cats do—mine is no exception), then use this to your advantage by banging a spoon against a can or shaking a pouch of treats and simultaneously calling your cat’s name. Try using a slightly higher voice as cats are naturally attuned to high-pitched sounds. If more than one person in your household is training your cat, make sure everyone is using the same word or phrase to call your cat over to you. It’s important that you reserve this call for training purposes only so as not to confuse your cat. When you first start training your cat to come to you, it’s important that you run through the exercise once or twice a day until your cat has mastered “come.” Then you can taper off until you’re just running through the drill once a week for practice. As with all animals, never
punish your cat for coming to you too slowly. If you become angry or (heaven forbid) spank her because she took her time sauntering over to you, she’ll be a lot less likely to repeat the behavior in the future. With a little patience and practice, your cat can learn this important—and often lifesaving—skill, proving once and for all that dogs aren’t the only ones who come when called.
