Marijuana dispensaries have been a subject of debate in Santa Barbara.DAILY SOUND / Victor Maccharoli

Marijuana dispensary debate heats upBY LYZ HOFFMAN

DAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENTThe debate over medical marijuana

in Santa Barbara continues to buzz.The Santa Barbara City Council on

Tuesday will decide the fate ofPatrick Fourmy’s CompassionCenter, after the city denied Fourmy’sapplication for a dispensary permit.

Fourmy appealed the original deci-sion by the city’s staff hearing officer onFeb. 3, but his permit request was againdenied by the Planning Commission.

Now, as his last recourse before hecan file a lawsuit, Fourmy is takinghis case to the City Council, whichcan either uphold or overturn thePlanning Commission’s decision.

“Compassion Center is a model

operation in many respects,” saidGilbert Gaynor, Fourmy’s attorney.“It has a stellar reputation in the med-ical community.”

Compassion Center, which hasbeen at 2915 De la Vina since 2006, ismainly under fire for violating munic-ipal code by allegedly failing to oper-ate the dispensary for a period greaterthan 30 days between November 1,2007 and April 2009, according to acity staff report.

According to Fourmy’s appeal letter,however, Compassion Center has “con-tinuously operated” sinceApril 0f 2006.

Fourmy provided the PlanningCommission, according to the report,letters from Total Pharmacy Supply,

The contestants performed songsby artists such as Lady Gaga and TomPetty, and original songs.

Special guest judges includedKenny Loggins, Jimmy Messina, J.R.Richards of Dishwalla and CatherineRemak of KLITE 101.7.

Laguna Blanca Schoolwelcomes Lucky the Emu

DAILY SOUND STAFF REPORTThe Owls at Laguna Blanca School

have a new friend, Lucky the Emu.TheFirst Grade class adopted the Emu aftervisiting OstrichLand in Buellton inJanuary.

Under the instruction of scienceteacher Clara Svedlund, the class incu-bated the egg for 50 days in scienceclass.

The egg started to rock back and forthabout a week before it hatched—onMarch 17, St. Patrick’s Day.

The newly hatched Emu, with blackand tan stripes and speckles, was aboutsix inches tall.

Students named him Lucky because

he was born on St. Patrick’s Day.Svedlund took the Emu home and

“mothered it” over Laguna’s two-weekSpring Break.

Lucky is now almost three weeks oldand has doubled in size—weighing near-ly two pounds and is a foot-and-a-halftall.

“The students were happy to return toschool after Spring Break and seeLucky’s growth and they’re enjoyingwatching him run, roll, and grow,” saidTara Broucqsault, director of communi-cations for Laguna Blanca School.

The Emu will be returned toOstrichLand, where the students willvisit their new friend next year.

For 50 days, Laguna Blanca students participated in the science incubation project to hatch anEmu. The Emu, who has been named Lucky, is now three weeks old.

Pacific Paper Products and WestcomCredit Union – all to verify thatCompassion Center was indeed operatingat the time the Commission alleges it was-n’t – yet the letters were deemed inconclu-sive in proving continuous operation of thedispensary.

The Planning Commission also tookissue with Fourmy’s opening of another dis-pensary at 3532 State Street, saying in thereport that it was opened without a permit.

The fact that about 50 pounds – val-ued at approximately $400,000 – of mar-ijuana was stolen from the downtownstorage facility where Fourmy stored it,didn’t sit well either, leading thePlanning Commission to believe that thedrug would go on to be used illegally.

Overall, according to the report,Compassion Center’s permit was deniedafter the Planning Commission deemedthat five out of the twelve criteria set forthby the Medical Marijuana DispensaryOrdinance were not adequately met.

If the City Council decides to overturnthe permit denial, the PlanningCommission has some suggested stipula-tions, including requirements for marijua-na storage and an alarm systems permit.

According to Fourmy’s appeal letterthe city has many reasons to supportCompassion Center.

Open since 2000, Compassion Center,which has remained legally open duringits appeals process, is the only dispensa-ry in California to employ registerednurses, according to the appeal letter.

The Center’s patients, more than1,000 of which are over the age of 50,rely on the dispensary to treat their con-ditions, which range from AIDS, cancerand post-traumatic stress disorder toanorexia, Alzheimer’s and epilepsy.

Calling the dispensary “the veryopposite of a nuisance,” the appeal letteralso makes note of the Center’s support

President Barack Obama and congressional leaders reached alast-minute budget deal on Friday, averting a government shutdownthat would have idled hundreds of thousands of federal workers.

With a midnight deadline looming for a government closure,the hard-fought compromise between Obama’s Democrats andopposition Republicans requires lawmakers to approve stopgapfunding to keep federal agencies running into next week untilthe budget agreement can be formally enacted.

A shutdown—the first in more than 15 years—would havemeant furloughs for much of the federal work force, suspensionof some key government services and the closing of manynational monuments and parks, while potentially underminingthe U.S. economic recovery.

“Tomorrow, I’m pleased to announce that the WashingtonMonument as well as the entire federal government will be openfor business,” a smiling Obama said in a late-night appearance atthe White House.

Ramirez leaves DodgersManny Ramirez's often turbulent relationship with the Los

Angeles Dodgers finally ended Monday when he was shipped tothe Chicago White Sox in a waiver deal.

The 12-time All-Star has been replaced on the active roster byright-handed pitcher Ramon Troncoso, who was recalled fromClass AAAAlbuquerque, the Dodgers said in a statement.

Ramirez, 38, joined the Dodgers in 2008 in a mid-season tradefrom the Boston Red Sox and gave his new team an immediatelift, hitting .396 with 17 homers in 53 games to lead them to thepostseason. He is expected to join the White Sox in Clevelandlater Monday.

Government shut down avoided

Planned Parenthood dealbreakerU.S. Republicans have modified their proposed policy restric-

tions in a budget deal that would keep the government runningbeyond Friday but they are still unacceptable to Democrats, aDemocratic aide said on Thursday.

Republicans are no longer insisting on an outright ban onfunding for the Planned Parenthood birth-control group, the aidesaid. Rather, they want to give states discretion about how to usethat money, which could allow anti-abortion Republican gover-nors to block funding.

That is still unacceptable to Democrats, the aide said.

The Lincoln Lawyer2 Stars—Troubling

The criminal justice system is confus-ing. Recognizing that every person isinnocent until proven guilty, the processto discover the truth is far from perfect.As egos of prosecutors meet the machi-nations of defense lawyers the focus caneasily shift to other objectives than jus-tice. But underneath this morass arereal people trying to live with them-selves and with one another. That is thestory behind Brad Furman’s film “TheLincoln Lawyer.”

Mick Haller (MatthewMcConaughey) has paid the price to bea defense lawyer. Having been marriedto prosecutor Maggie McPherson(Marisa Tomei), their mutual attractioncannot override their opposition in thelegal system. This becomes obviousand personal when Haller takes on awealthy young client who is accused ofbattery and attempted rape and bringshis violent evil into their personal lives.

The defendant is Louis Roulet (RyanPhillippe). An upstanding member ofsociety, Haller is sure of his innocenceand strives to protect him against prose-cution. The son of a famous defenselawyer, Haller has a deep desire to beable to know who is innocent and keepthem from prison. But, as Roulet’sstory unravels and other facts come tolight, Haller enters into a whole differ-ent place. Explaining to Maggie that heused to fear that he would not recognizeinnocence, he now fears evil itself.

This is the quandary that we all face.Magnified in the criminal justice sys-tem, and a popular theme on both the

large and small screens, we fear bothinnocence and evil. Not as obvious aswe would hope, these films and crimeshows take us down paths in whicheveryone is not what they seem, both intheir innocence and their sins. The ten-sion that creates a good story alsoexposes the stress of our souls.

The absence of any spiritual commu-nity, and particularly a Christian one,exaggerates the difficulty the people inthis story face. The importance ofunderstanding the nature of sin and thesource of innocence is a vital assistancein navigating life in this world. Whenall we have is the criminal justice sys-tem, where the lines become easilyblurred and innocent people are impris-oned while evil ones escape prosecu-tion, then our fears will only increase.

Although the title refers to the rollingoffice that Haller inhabits, “The LincolnLawyer” also brings to mind a president

who is known for taking a moral standduring a season in American history whenour nation was torn apart by the evil ofslavery. That President Lincoln paid apersonal price is true, but that our nationchanged for the better is indisputable.

That is what makes this film trou-bling. Haller beats the system and pro-tects his family. But in the end Haller isstill playing the game and defending aperson he knows is dealing drugs. If thatis a requirement of the system thensomething needs to change both fordefense lawyers and for all of us.Discussion for those who haveseen this film:

1. After beating the system toprotect his family, Haller goes on todefend a person he knows is guilty ofselling drugs. What would you do ifyou were him?2. If you have ever been a part

or an observer of a criminal justicetrial, what was your experience? Didyou see justice? Were your fears, aboutputting away an innocent person or let-ting a guilty person free, allayed?3. If you were responsible to

come up with a better way to discern whois innocent and who is guilty than ourpresent system, what would you suggest?Cinema In Focus is a social and spir-

County of Santa Barbara BOARD OF SUPERVISORS NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

CASE NUMBERS: 10ORD-00000-00001, 10CUP-00000-00008

HEARING DATE: April 12, 2011

LOCATION: Betteravia Government Center Board Hearing Room 511 East Lakeside Parkway, Santa Maria

SUBJECT: Hearing on Initiation of Zoning Ordinance Amendments for Utility-Scale Solar Projects

The Board of Supervisors will consider initiation of amendments to the County’s Land Use and Development Code (Zoning Ordinance) to allow development of utility-scale, solar photovoltaic electrical generation projects on agriculturally zoned (AG-II) properties in the Inland Area of the County, subject to a Conditional Use Permit. The County’s current zoning ordinance provides for permitting of small-scale solar projects for residences and other end-users of the generated electricity, but does not provide for larger projects whose primary purpose is to sell electricity off-site to utility companies. Initiation of amendments is the first step in the process of amending the Zoning Ordinance. Initiation does not assure adoption of amendments, but starts the public process that could result in adoption of amendments. If the Board initiates the amendments, Planning & Development Department staff will develop specific ordinance language and conduct environmental review, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act. The Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors would consider adoption of amendments recommended by staff in noticed public hearings at a future date. The proposed amendments would provide for permitting of large, utility-scale, solar photovoltaic projects, as requested by Cuyama Solar, LLC, as part of their pending application for the Cuyama Solar Array Project. The proposed project is a 40 megawatt solar facility in the Cuyama Valley. Amendments are also proposed to allow permitting of smaller, utility-scale projects up to five megawatts generation capacity. The Board of Supervisors hearing begins at 9:00 a.m. The order of items listed on the agenda is subject to change by the Board. Anyone interested in these matters is invited to appear and speak in support of or in opposition to the project and may address the Board of Supervisors in person or by using the remote video testimony system located at the County Administration Building, 105 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, Board of Supervisors Hearing Room (4th Floor). Written comments are also welcome. All letters should be addressed to the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, 105 East Anapamu St., 4th Floor, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

Investorslose again

Life is difficult and uncertain so why doessociety compound it by making poor invest-ment decisions? How poor the decisions youmay ask. In a study conducted by Dalbar Inc.(see exhibit 20-year Annualized Returns byAsset Class), the only bright spot was that forthe first time in years, the average investorbeat inflation. Let’s not get too excited.

What can we learn from this study whichcovers the years of 1991-2010? It spannedthree recessions, including the deepest sincethe Great Depression. If our history is correct,this time period covers three major wars andsomething like 20 “conflicts” or however oneclassifies them. We had the tech bubble, thehousing bubble and the global financial crisis.So it would be expected for the averageinvestor to only earn 2.6%, right? Well notwhen the major asset classes in the financialmarkets returned 4.7% to 10.5%.

Similar studies over different time periodstend to yield the same results. WHY doinvestors constantly underperform? Afterreviewing thousands of financial statements,we have a good idea of where the mistakesoccur. Here are some tips so hopefully youcan avoid being, “average.”

RULE #1: Don’t fall into the trap of chasing“winners.” People get enamored with the con-cept of what goes up must go up further (i.e.tech stocks late 90’s, oil, then real estate anddon’t get us started on gold). Unlike anythingelse we purchase in the world, investments areone of the few things that attract more moneyand attention as it becomes more expensiveand becomes less attractive when it becomescheaper. Realize you have a flaw in your pick-ing criteria when your primary questionrevolves around past performance and youover concentrate investments. Perceivedfuture opportunity is far more important.

RULE #2: Most people don’t understandrisk until something bad occurs. It wouldbehoove all investors to understand the terms“Beta” and “Standard Deviation.” The “mar-ket” has a Beta of 1 so if an investmentreports a Beta of 1.5 that means it is in theo-ry, 50% more risky than the markets.

Standard deviation is a measure ofvolatility and it can help with your expecta-tions of how much risk you are taking.Double the number and then add and sub-tract it to the expected return. For example,if you have an investment with a standarddeviation of 20 and an expected return of8%, then it is entirely reasonable to expectthat investment to fall between +48% and -32% most of the time. If you don’t like thenumbers, look to less risky investments andexpect lower returns or expand your timehorizon. Pretty simple.

RULE #3: There have been numerous stud-ies illustrating that asset allocation is the pri-mary driver behind performance. People getconsumed with specific investments but the

reality is that great investments in a bad mar-ket generally do poorly and bad investmentsin a great market can do well. The other reali-ty is that you make the most money when youget in the way of something that rallies. Thatmeans you have to be there early ... generallyat a time when others find it less appealing.

RULE #4: Investments take time. Americansare generally very impatient and maybe thatis a big reason why the average investor doesso poorly? We tend to get bored and need tomake changes either due to greed or fearfrom our experience. “This is not working” soa change to the hot investment must makesense? You need to have the patience tounderstand that if you invest in stocks, realestate or the like, that you need to have a 5-10 year time horizon at the minimum.Anything short of that is just a gamble.

RULE #5: Don’t over concentrate your assetsunless you are trying to hit a major financialhomerun but with the knowledge that a strike-out is possible as well. Great wealth has beencreated and lost by making concentrated bets.Remember this ... what made you wealthy maynot be the same thing that keeps you wealthy.As you make money, diversify into other assetclasses to spread out the risks.

RULE #6: Investments are not the samething as money. Yes, they are quoted in dollarterms and redeemed for cash but investmentsare not cash. Don’t confuse the two conceptsas one is used for short term needs and theother should have a longer time horizon.

RULE #7: Implement a portfolio that bestmatches your needs. This may be completelydifferent from what may make you the mostmoney. The key to investing is not always tomake the most money but often times to sat-isfy a goal. We recommend that you assumethe least amount of risk necessary to accom-plish your goals.

RULE #8: Rebalance your portfolio on aregular basis (we recommend quarterly).Over time, not all of your investments willperform the same as some will go up in valueand others down. While most people tend tosell the investments that have done “poorly”and concentrate on the “winners,” they tendto do themselves a disservice as they violatesome of the rules we have outlined above(and hence the terrible results). The rebalanc-ing process makes you sell “winners” andbuy “losers.” Maybe forcing you to sell“high” and buy “low?”If you have a questions you would like

answered, please submit them [email protected].

Consolidated Plan Amendment

The County of Santa Barbara Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) invites comments on the HOME Consortium and Urban County Partnership 2011 Action Plan and 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan amendment. The Santa Barbara Urban County Partnership includes the County of Santa Barbara as the lead agency and the member cities of Buellton, Carpinteria, Lompoc andSolvang. The HOME Consortium is comprised of the Urban County members as well as Goleta and Santa Maria. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), and HOME Programs provide communities with resources to support community development and affordable housing activities.

The Annual Action Plan is a component of the Consolidated Plan, submitted annually to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which describes the resources available for community development and affordable housing projects, as well as the activities planned to be undertaken during program year 2011-12 by the Santa Barbara Urban County and HOME Consortium. HUD requires that entitlement jurisdictions publish Action Plans annually under the CDBG, ESG and HOME Programs.

The Consolidated Plan is a comprehensive planning document that identifies the overall housing and community development needs of the participating jurisdictions. It outlines a five year strategy that establishes priorities and objectives for meeting those needs. The 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan amendment involves the addition of a priority need to include the provision for tenant based rental

assistance including security deposits for low and very low income households.

Dr. Stephen W. Hosea, the director ofClinical Care at Cottage Hospital and a spe-cialist in infectious diseases, deemed the dis-pensary an “indispensable resource,” accord-ing to the appeal letter.

Both Drs. Bearman and Hosea appeared insupport of Compassion Center at each of theprior two hearings.

According to the appeal letter, neighborsSmart Marketing, Plaza Liquors and HappyLittle Hippo, a children’s clothing store, also

support the Center. The Iyengar Yoga Studioof Santa Barbara, a fellow neighbor, calledthe Center “a great neighbor” and a “civilizedestablishment,” according to the appeal letter.

Customers, too, have leant their support forCompassion Center via declarations to be readfor the City Council meeting on Tuesday.

“If the Center had to close because permitwas denied, it would be an incredible loss tomyself and others in pain and discomfort,”reads the declaration of a 63-year-old femalecustomer. “Their medicine is a lifesaver.”

Mayor Helene Schneider said she’s lookingforward to Tuesday’s meeting.

“Mr. Fourmy has been in business for a longtime, and, as far as I’m concerned, has notbeen a problem to the immediate neighbor-hood,” she said. “The question is did this per-son meet or violate the terms of the ordinance.That is what we have to look at on Tuesday.”

Canary Hotel, hosted bythe Rape Crisis Center ofSanta Barbara.

There the Robertsonsmet executive director ofthe Center Elsa Granados.

Linda discussed withher husband the idea of anevent where, “I could dosomething at my gym tomake the community moreaware of the work theRape Crisis does. Creatinga positive self through fit-ness is something I believe

can help women to better valuethemselves!”

As the ladies arrived by 10 a.m,the donation was $75 each. Theywere signed in by volunteer collegegrad Shantal, 21, who has beeninterning with the SBRCC for morethan a year and handed out infor-mation on the work of the Center.

With more than 20 attendees,Linda and her certified fitness staff

Erin Williams, Lisa Meyreles,Angelica Ochoa, who all volun-teered their time, conducted afunctional circuit training classthat incorporated TRX technology,Ugi fitness balls, Mat Pilates,Krank Cycle, Kettle bells and car-dio- blast.

Linda and her staff created the 7different stations inside her studioand in the exterior courtyard thatwas a fun, varied, challenging butsafe, 90-minute workout.

The original goal was to raise$1,800, but according to Linda,they “happily raised $3,000.Contributions, which 100 percentgo to the organization, are stillcoming in.Linda will now host an annual

event at One on One Fitness to sup-port the Santa Barbara Rape CrisisCenter.
