Council votes to transform plazaBY NICK C. TONKIN

DAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENTSanta Barbara’s historic De la Guerra

Plaza could look dramatically differentin the coming years.The Santa Barbara City Council on

Tuesday debated spending at least $2.2million to overhaul the De La GuerraPlaza.

“This is Santa Barbara’s publicsquare,” Santa Barbara Mayor HeleneSchneider said. “Every one of us hasattended or organized events ourselveson that plaza.”The project still has to clear hurdles

from the Historic LandmarkCommission, the Downtown ParkingCommission, and go back to thePlanning Commission.The plaza’s road and sidewalk behind

State Street has been in need of repair formany years. Any fixes would require rip-ping up the plaza’s paving, which affordsthe city the chance to make other

improvements to one of Santa Barbara’stop event spots.But just what those improvements

should be has been debated throughoutthe last six years. The latest concept presented at the

council meeting extended the sidewalkby the restaurants 4.5 feet, narrowed thelawn area to prevent the road from beingtoo tight for emergency vehicles.It also lowered the lawn height to

make it flush with the road, removed theinner curb and replaced it with remov-able bollards, moved the utility panel,and replaced the aging palm trees. The general concept of moving the

utilities and fixing the sidewalk sat wellwith most council members. But allagreed that the plan would still need tobe tweaked over the next few months.“This is really a monument to who we

are as Santa Barbarans and I think it’scritical that we invest in it wisely,”House said.

Council member Michael Self hadsome concerns about the loss of parkingspaces on businesses. The plan elimi-nates five spaces inside the plaza, butrezones De La Guerra Street for an extraspace. Two spaces come from 75-minuteareas near the exit and three 15-minutespaces near the News Press buildingadjacent to Storke Placita.“I’m in total agreement that places

look better without cars,” Self said. “ButI think we have to be pragmatic here forour business community.”Funding for the project comes from a

tax allocation bond. City AdministratorJim Armstrong assured the council thatthe money would be secure from the lossof the RDA if a city lawsuit should fail. Schneider noted that despite concerns

brought forward, progress had beenmade on the general concept.“It’s getting to a point where the big

debates have come to a reasonable com-promise,” Schneider said.

Dale wants answersBY NICK C. TONKIN

DAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENTThe California Supreme Court halted

legislation that would have forced cities togive up their Redevelopment Agencies orpay the state a portion of $1.7 billion dol-lars after lawsuits by the League ofCalifornia Cities and RedevelopmentAgencies.While that let the Santa Barbara City

Council drop a resolution to pay the state aportion of the money yesterday, it’s not thelast word in a fight between the state legis-lature and local municipalities.Many California legislators, like

Assemblyman Das Williams, say that ifthe suit prevails the Legislature is preparedto eliminate RDAs altogether. Williamssaid RDAs are taking too much localmoney from education and public safetyand putting it into construction projects.“I would love to have both,” Williams

said. “But if I have to choose between

those, I’m going to choose protecting ourschools over funding Redevelopment con-struction projects.”City council member Dale Francisco

said that while he’s had his reservationsabout individual RDA projects, he believesthe agency has been invaluable to the citysince its inception.“Redevelopment as a whole has been

good for the state and fantastic for SantaBarbara,” Francisco said.Francisco, who’s up for re-election in

November, called a press conference yes-terday at City Hall to urge voters to lobbyWilliams, a former Santa Barbara citycouncil member, to protect the RDA. “When Das was a city council member

for seven years he was happy to spendRDA funds on local projects,” Franciscosaid.Williams dismissed the conference as a

political ploy by Francisco.“I would have at least thought he would

have attended one of the three budget townhall meetings,” Williams said.Daraka Larimore-Hall, chairman of the

Santa Barbara County Democratic Party,said Francisco was being narrow-mindedon the issue.“It’s an audacious irony for Dale

Francisco to attack the legislature for try-ing to fix a problem that is caused by hisparty,” Larimore-Hall said. “Santa Barbaraand Goleta overall have done a good jobwith RDA funds, everyone knows that.But this isn’t just about Santa Barbara andGoleta. We have a statewide budget crisisand that crisis is caused by the fact that wecan only make all-cuts budgets becausenot a single Republican in Sacramento willcompromise. Just like in Washington,Sacramento Republicans are forcing a cri-sis. That Crisis is felt here at home in cutsto education, health care and nowRDAs.”

Keck telescope offersrare glimpse of stars

BY ELISE CLEMENTSDAILY SOUND STAFF WRITER

The chance to view the universethrough a high-powered telescope isopen to all this Friday at 8 p.m. atWestmont College’s observatory.The Keck telescope featured at the

observatory has a 24-inch lens and ranksamong the best along the central coast. The Santa Barbara Natural History

Museum’s astronomy club, theAstronomical Unit, holds viewings at theobservatory the third Friday of everymonth. The group brings its own telescopes

and the Keck is not always used.But this month, Westmont’s physics

department will gear the massive, com-puter controlled telescope in conjunctionwith the clubs event. The night seemsparticularly advantageous for stargazing.“With the moon not rising until after

10:30 p.m. we will have free rein overthe night sky for a change,” said ThomasWhittemore, Westmont Physics instruc-tor. Conditions are prime for viewing mul-

tiple star clusters and the Ring Nebula.Globular cluster M13 contains over amillion stars, and Ptolomy’s Cluster

boasts stars as young as 220 millionyears. Those attending will also see thevibrant, gaseous envelope of the nebula –a prescient glimpse at our own sun’sfuture.

Parking is also free; attendees maypark near the baseball field. The observa-tory is located between Russell CarrField and the track and field/soccer com-plex.

Man nearly dies at Arroyo BurroA man nearly drowned in the water

near Arroyo Burro beach Tuesday morn-ing.Two fishermen on the shore spotted

the man floating face down in the wateraround 11 a.m. After the man didn’t

respond to their calls, they swam out tohim and pulled him ashore.The fishermen performed CPR on the

man. Authorities from County Fire, CityFire, Sheriff’s Department, and HarborPatrol responded.

They transported him up to the mainbeach area where they continued to per-form CPR until an ambulance arrived totake him to Cottage Hospital. His condi-tion is considered serious.

Dems hold seats in recallTwo Wisconsin Democratic state senators beat back

Republican challengers on Tuesday in recall elections triggeredby a fight over collective bargaining rights for public sectorworkers. Despite the recall wins, Governor Scott Walker and hisRepublican allies will retain control of the state legislature,where the battle over public workers' union powers was wagedearlier this year with mass protests, legislative maneuvering andcourt challenges.The Democrats who defended their seats on Tuesday, Robert

Wirch and Jim Holperin, were among 14 Wisconsin state sena-tors who left the state in an attempt to prevent passage of ananti-union measure earlier this year. Holperin beat politicalnovice Kim Simac by 54 percent to 46 percent, with 78 percentof precincts reporting, according to WisPolitics.com. Wirchbeat Republican lawyer Jonathan Steitz by 58 percent to 42 per-cent, with 100 percent of precincts reporting.

America’s best town’sTowns in Colorado, Massachusetts and Ohio, which have

low crime rates, good schools and plenty of cultural activities,have been ranked the best in the United States, according to anew survey.For the second time Louisville in Colorado, topped the list of

Money Magazine's 100 best small towns, followed by Milton,Massachusetts and Solon in Ohio.They all have populations of 50,000 or less and offer the opti-

mal combination of jobs, schools, safety, health care, culturalactivities and even weather."We wanted to uncover the hidden gems -- the small places

that most people don't know about, but might want to consider,"said Elizabeth Fenner, assistant managing editor of MoneyMagazine.

Tobacco co’s sue over labelFour big cigarette makers sued the Food and Drug

Administration, seeking to void as unconstitutional new graph-ic labels and advertising that warn consumers about the risks ofsmoking and induce them to quit.The lawsuit by Reynolds American Inc's R.J. Reynolds unit,

Lorillard Inc, Liggett Group LLC and Commonwealth BrandsInc, owned by Britain's Imperial Tobacco Group Plc, said thewarnings required no later than September 22, 2012 wouldforce cigarette makers to "engage in anti-smoking advocacy" onthe government's behalf.They said this violates their free speech rights under the First

Amendment, according to a complaint filed Tuesday with theU.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.

This article is the second in aseries featuring the CalSTRSloan program. The CalSTRShome loan is specificallydesigned to enable teachers andeducation employees to buyhomes using safe, suitable homefinancing. This is a true story ofa middle-income family here inSanta Barbara County who suc-cessfully bought a home withintheir means, using the CalSTRShome loan program.Our beautiful Santa Barbara

community has a reputation of being out-of-reach for most potential homeowners,particularly first-time home buyers. Whileit may not be a quick or easy process tobuy a home in Santa Barbara (or any-where in the U.S., for that matter!), it cer-tainly is possible.Here is a story of one young couple

who thought that homeownership inSanta Barbara county was, put simply,impossible. Meghan Saxer and AvreyParsons-Field are typical first-time home-buyers in only one respect: they thoughtbuying a home was completely out of thequestion. And that is the last 'typical' gen-eralization about this persevering couplein regards to their recent homeownershipexperience.Not long out of college, Meghan is

now a full-time science teacher at a mid-dle school in Carpinteria. (Thank you,Meghan and all teachers -- you are truecommunity heroes.) Avrey is a full-time

marine biologist on staff atUCSB. On top of that, they areowners of Island ViewCatering, an award-winningcatering business.Over a year ago, the couple

started receiving foreclosurenotices addressed to the ownersof the property they then hadbeen renting for several years inSanta Ynez.“We contacted the owners

of the property, who lived outof state, right away,” said

Avrey. “The owners assured us theywould work directly with the bank tobegin a short-sale on the property. Iguess our best hope at that time was thatwe could keep renting the place from thenew owners.”“While we understood that a short-sale

could take many months, right away thepressure was on,” continued Meghan,“because we knew we needed a newhome, and our needs are unique becausewe have barn animals.”Again, this is not your typical couple.

Barn animals are a major considerationwhen searching for a rental property.Unfortunately, at this point, the couple

endured many unpleasant months. WhileAvrey unsuccessfully searched for a newplace to rent, Meghan fielded the realestate agent assigned by the bank to theproperty, who, Meghan reported, was verydifficult to work with.“The stress was mounting, and we

were desperately uncertain about wherewe would be living. The way the bankwas dealing with us felt disrespectful andinvasive, and it was a pretty disastroustime for us,” said Meghan.“We hit bottom when the house fore-

closed,” said Avrey, “When we got thefinal foreclosure notice, we realized thatthe rent checks we were sending to theowner were not going to the bank. Wecalled the owner, but never heard backfrom them. It was a tough time.”Unexpectedly, soon after the home

foreclosed, the situation began to brightenquickly.“Most importantly, a different real

estate agent was assigned by Bank ofAmerica to handle the foreclosed proper-ty,” said Meghan.“It was light night and day: Kristy

White was helpful, kind and friendlyfrom the beginning. She treated us likehuman beings, and she suggested that wetry to buy the house, thought we hadalready resolved to move, and had startedpreparations.”“It never occurred to us that we could

afford the property,” added Avrey. “I wantto give Kristy a tremendous amount ofcredit, for her humanity and support. Itwasn't quick or simple, but she guided usthe whole way, and I am really grateful toher.“Everything sped up for us when my

boss at UCSB recommended Kelly Marshfor a mortgage, and from the moment we

Lestyou think you just fell into a usedcar commercial by that iconic supersalesman Cal Worthington and hisdog, Spot, let me assure you thatsomething much classier is afoot.The Animal Shelter Assistance

Program (ASAP), a nonprofit organ-ization that cares for the cats and kittensawaiting adoption at the Santa BarbaraCounty Animal Shelter, recently came upwith a purr-fect way to help their feline resi-dents get adopted. For the first time in its 22-year history, ASAP will host a FREEAdoption Event this Saturday and Sunday,August 20 and 21, 2011 from 10 am – 4 pm.Every “certified pre-owned” cat is availablefor “$0 down, 0% financing and NO pay-ments,” according to a press release. In otherwords: All cats are FREE to qualifiedadopters! “This is a landmark event, not only for

ASAP, but also for our entire community as itis the first time that any animal rescue organi-zation has ever waived all adoption fees forcats and kittens,” says ASAP president,

Angela Walters Rockwell. “We haveso many cats and kittens in need ofhomes, so come out and adopt anew feline family member!”Behind the lighthearted ad is a

serious message: Animal sheltersacross the country are inundatedwith “unwanted” cats and kittensand each year, 4-6 million cats anddogs are euthanized simply becausethere are not enough homes forthem all. ASAP is taking a giantleap forward by hosting this FREEadoption event and waiving the reg-ular $65 adoption fee. Did I mention

that all cats are FREE this weekend?Now some cat lovers – and I must admit I

was one of them – wondered if giving awaycats meant they would suffer at the hands ofless-than-stable people just waiting to neglector abuse them. We needn’t worry. Accordingto a study conducted by the ASPCA andreported in the Journal of Applied AnimalWelfare Science, eliminating adoption feesdoes not devalue the animal in the eyes of theadopter and free adult cat adoption programscould “dramatically impact the lives of thou-sands of shelter cats who would otherwisereside in a shelter for months or be eutha-nized.”That’s good news for the 100+ cats and

kittens awaiting adoption here in Santa

Santa Barbara City Council Candidate Sharon Byrne speaks to supporters at her campaign kick off partyyesterday.

Feeling the ByrneBY NICK C. TONKIN

DAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENTSharon Byrne may not have lawn signs and

bumper stickers ready to go, but the last-minute addition to the list of Santa BarbaraCity Council candidates for November's elec-tion has a loyal following already. Byrne, best known for her neighborhood

activism with the Milpas CommunityAssociation, is ruffling feathers after breakinginto an election with conservative incumbents

and a Democratic Party-backed slate of chal-lengers. An applicant in last year's process to fill

Assemblyman Das Wiliams' council seat,Byrne strongly promoted her status as a regis-tered Independent, as well as someone whosees issues from conservative and liberal sides. "We need a non-partisan candidate," Byrne

told The Daily Sound at her party, alongsideabout 50 supporters Tuesday at the West Beach

Suites. "My sense is that people aren'thappy with either slate." Byrne stressed the point that the coun-

cil needs members who look at issuesfrom every side instead of doing what'sbest individual factions. "Sometimes issues get framed as an

'either-or,'" she said. 'There's no middleground in these positions. These are'both-and' situations.'"Byrne – a single mother who has

served as an executive for Fortune 500companies and non-profit organizations– notably led last year's Safety Rally toCity Hall, as well as clean-ups in theMilpas neighborhoods. She's currently aNeighborhood Advisory member and aFranklin Neighborhood Center Advisorycommittee member. Her supporters say Byrne has the abil-

ity to attract different groups and bringthem together. "It didn't matter if they were home-

less, Hispanic or rich, she has this wayabout her to listen," Becky Betencourtsaid. "She's very inclusive. She startedencouraging people, ladies who hadnever done anything like this." Naomi Greene, who serves on the

Neighborhood Advisory Council withByrne and worked with her during heat-ed marijuana dispensary hearings in2009 and 2010, said Byrne was a leaderand knew the issues well. "She always did her homework,"

Greene said. Greene said the Milpas area needs a

strong advocate, since no one on the cur-rent council is from the area. She saidthere needs to be more investment insolving the key issues that hurt theMilpas corridor, such as public safetyand cleanliness. "There are no votes in the Milpas area,

there's no money," Greene said. Byrne even persuaded her neighbor,

Raquel Zaragoza, to demand better pub-lic safety. Now Zaragoza's supportingByrne's campaign. "She's done a lot to clean up the neigh-

borhood," said Zaragoza, who said her

two young daughters participated in theMilpas cleanup and safety rally. "She'sdone a lot to get homeless off the streetsand get them help."Byrne said she wants a more respon-

sive government. She said more of thecity's programs need to prove theirworth, especially during times of fiscaldistress. Byrne also wants more councilmeetings to be outside of the regular 2p.m. Tuesday timeslot, which she saidworking adults and parents can nevermake to make their comments public. But probably Byrne's biggest mission

is to restore Santa Barbara's quality oflife, something she believes has declinedin the last decade – and a belief reaf-firmed by a raise of hands among hersupporters Tuesday. She says her demand for better public

safety and a more responsive city council

will raise quality of life, when there's lessof a divide between what's good for old,run-down buildings and what's good fordevelopers. Byrne is not running with fellow

Milpas Community Association memberSebastian Aldana. She said the two haveagreed not to campaign together, but aresupporting each other's efforts. And for Byrne, the escalating partisan

nature of the council elections distressesher. She says it's spilling over into theway the city functions and to the detri-ment of the city.Byrne said if elected, she wants to

reverse this trend and do what's best forthe citizens. "This is Santa Barbara, she said. "It's

also a tourist destination, but it's also ourhome."

met, everything took on its own life.”Avrey recounted that he had met with

other mortgage professionals, includingone recommended by the bank, for ananalysis of whether he and Meghan couldresponsibly buy a home, but that none ofthe professionals took his full informa-tion, or ever followed up with his applica-tion.“After the drama and stress of the last

seven months with our home, it wasrefreshing to work with Kelly andKristy,” said Meghan.After meeting in person with Avrey, I

recommended the CalSTRS home loanprogram (CalSTRS stands for CaliforniaState Teacher Retirement System) for thecouple, since Meghan is a teacher.(CalSTRS is an unusual loan option inmany ways. One facet of CalSTRSincludes a home loan called the “80/17”which means that payments for a portion

of the total loan (17%) can be deferredfor up to five years. This can be a goodoption for those families with incomesthat are likely to increase over the nextfive years. With the CalSTRS loan, thereis no income cap, and many CalSTRSmembers are pleasantly surprised by therange of options offered through the pro-gram; the program is open to allCalSTRS-qualified borrowers, not only tofirst-time buyers. The CalSTRS programserves the following: members ofCalifornia State Teachers RetirementSystem; employees of a California PublicSchool District; employees of aCalifornia Community College; andCalSTRS Employees.)I would love to say that everything

was easy and smooth-sailing from thispoint to the actual close of escrow forMeghan and Avery - but it wasn't so.At first, the bank encouraged the cou-

ple to submit an offer on the property,even though they had no idea of the valueof the home as determined by an internal

assessor at the bank. Then, once they hadsubmitted the offer, the bank revised thepolicy, and instituted a required period ofa minimum of five days that the propertymust be offered on the open market.“We had no way of knowing whether

we had a chance,” said Avrey. “That partwas awful.”I promised that this would be a Happy

Homeownership Series, and there is ahappy ending to this long ordeal: Meghanand Avrey won the bid, bought the home,and had the added bonus of not even hav-ing to move.“Once we knew the asking price of the

home, the biggest factor was that weknew we could afford the payment,”Avrey said. “We had been shown whatwe could afford - if the bank assessor hadvalued the property out of our range, itwould have been over. But when thebank came back to us with a price wecould afford, that felt just great. Therental payment we paid is comparable tothe housing payment we now have.”
