Locally owned and operat-ed Bank of Santa Barbara isexpanding out from its down-town branch into Goleta.The tentative opening date

for the new 5880 Calle Realbranch is July 1st. CEO EloyOrtega said it’s the next logi-cal step after a successful startfor the local bank. With its focus on making

personal connections witheach of its clients, Ortega saidit’s best to have the bankmove out to Goleta for its

brand of personalized service. “I think that it’s important

for Goleta to now have anextension of that service,”Ortega said. “We’re comingto them, we’re not makingthem come to us.”The Bank of Santa

Barbara, better known as“The Bank”, started in 2009after a conversation betweenOrtega and Tom Parker. Thegroup acquired the bank fromCapitol Bancorp Limited in2009 and started up after sta-bilizing the bank’s finances.The Bank has done well

since then and is now looking

to expand its lending. TheBank has most of its dealingswith non-profits, businesses,and professionals. Outside ofDowntown Santa Barbarawhere The Bank has set upshop, Goleta has the largestconcentration of small tomedium-sized businesses,making it the best spot tomove.It’s location in Calle Real

shopping center in the outgo-ing Blockbuster Video build-ing seemed like an ideal fitwith its proximity to the busi-ness community. The buildinghad also been a savings and

loan in its earlier days, somuch of the infrastructureneeded for a bank alreadyexisted. Ortega said what sets the

Bank apart is its local owner-ship. The three top sharehold-ers are philanthropic organi-zations the Orfalea FamilyFoundation, Hutton ParkerFoundation, and Tim andBernadette Marquez ofVeneco. All have a trackrecord of investing back inSanta Barbara. “They’re not just paying

strated for many many yearstheir commitment to thiscommunity,” Ortega said.The Bank also focuses on

restoring a personal touch tobankingHe said the bank wants to

make connections with itscustomers to let them knowthat they’re not just anothernumber and BoSB is not justanother bank. “We want to take the time

to get to know our clients,”Ortega said.But he said it isn’t just

about a smile and handshake.It’s also about looking beyonda client’s numbers and creditscore. Times have been hardand The Bank knows 2008,2009, and even 2010 aren’tthe years to judge someone’sfinances by. “We try to look beyond just

the numbers and at the plan,the business itself, and theindividual,” Ortega said.Ortega said loan officers at

larger banks are often told toexamine how a loan can gowrong.The problem, he said, is

that if someone looks at anyloan hard enough, they canfind a reason not to take it.“There isn’t a loan out

there that I can’t turn down,”Ortega said. “Our job is tofind out how can we make upa loan.”That’s not to say anyone

can get the loan they want,but Ortega said it’s often thecase that the bank can get theclient what they need whenthey sit down and talk it out.Someone looking for a line ofcredit might actually be betteroff with an equipment loan orlong term capital investment.“You should be doing what

you do best which is yourbusiness,” Ortega said. “Letme help you do the financialside.”

Ortega said The Bank isn’tlooking to turn itself into amulti-national conglomerate;it’s local and it wants to staylocal. While some of theshareholders are looking tomake money, there’s no exter-nal pressure to keep expand-ing business.Ortega said recent econom-

ic troubles have been causedin part because managers feltpressure to grow the businessno matter what and thatcaused them to make invest-ments they might have other-wise turned down. “You get this shareholder

pressure to make decisionsthat aren’t necessarily the bestdecisions to make,” Ortegasaid. “But I don’t have thatpressure to ‘Grow, grow,grow,’ for the sake ofgrowth.”

Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan says she is putting herbad girl image behind her and starting a fresh chapter inlife, getting back to acting after recent years of personalturmoil that included arrests and stints in jail.The actress, 25, who is on probation from a string of

legal troubles including drunk driving, drug possession andtheft, has recently impressed court officials with goodbehavior and seemed eager to continue on a straight-and-narrow path.Lohan, who became a fixture on the Hollywood

nightlife scene as a young actress told Matt Lauer of NBC's"Today" news show that parties were "not my thing any-more" and she was more comfortable being a "homebody."

ANN ABOUT TOWN

It’s located on the corner ofAnacapa and Ortega, acrossfrom Paradise Café—no, notthe corner that has the Frenchcrepe place, not the one withSeagrass restaurant and theparking garage, but the othercorner.

You’ve probably gonepast it more than a fewdozen times and thoughtnothing of the unassumingbuilding with lightly paintedcorrugated metal siding, butit’s worth another look. Andthis 1st Thursday is the per-fect time to take a peek.

“It’s the only building ofits kind in its area, serving itsoriginal purpose,” said DanPatterson, metal artisan andowner of Santa Barbara Forge& Iron, which inhabits thespace. “It’s been a blacksmithmetal fabrication shop sincethe 1920s. We got into there ayear and a half ago after itbeing closed for 11 years,” hecontinued, of the shop thatused belong to CraviottoBros. and is now run byPatterson and his two youngerbrothers, Joel and Andy.During Downtown Santa

Barbara’s 1st Thursdayevent featuring arts, cultureand entertainment from 5-8p.m., the community is invit-ed to the shop and its GalleryAcero (“steel” in Spanish) tosee the latest exhibit, tour thebuilding and view some of them o d e r n - c o n t em p o r a r ywork—mostly sculptural fur-niture that encompasses beau-ty in both function and

form—that they do.Who would’ve

thought somethingas industrial aswelding andwrought iron wouldbe taking place socentrally, just ablock off of State,and that it wouldbecome a destina-tion for art?The entire fami-

ly is artistic, cre-ative and musicallytalented, although Dan is theonly one with formal art train-ing; his background is insculpture, he has his BA inStudio Art from HopeCollege, Michigan, andearned a Master’s degree inFine Arts at Transart inBerlin, Germany.

Because of his arts back-ground and because he want-ed the shop to be a placewhere stuff happens,Patterson decided, “Whydon’t I just make part of theshop a gallery?”So that’s just what he did.

Last September, SantaBarbara Forge & Steel heldthe grand opening of GalleryAcero during a 1st Thursdayevent and about 600 peoplecame in.

Tonight, they’ll be fea-turing the artwork of sever-al Westmont College stu-dents.

“I didn’t have manyopportunities as a student toshow outside of the college,”said Patterson, “and I don’t

think students todaydo, either. I thoughtit would be a coolthing to reach out tothem, to have themoff the hill and in adowntown gallery.”

The show willfeature a wide vari-ety of work, fromCailee Schoolland’sprints, to craft artistSara Chao’s bookdocumenting hertravel in India, to

Katie Curry’s small-scalecement casting of two hands,and Casey Underwood’sfound object media pieces.

Additional art includesrealistic and abstract paint-ings, black-and-while filmphotography, and more, byJenny Newton, SamanthaWatts, Hallie Heald, RachelleFields, Isabella Innis, LindseyTaylor, Andrew Loy and TimeCederwall.

“Many of the pieces willbe for sale, and a smallerselection will remain onexhibit in the gallery untilnext month,” said productionassistant and gallery managerJoy Brenneman, who graduat-ed from Westmont last year.

The Patterson’s have astrong connection toWestmont: Joel works thereteaching music for the chapelservice program, Andy wentto school there, as did theirsister, Mary (who now teach-es piano and voice privately,and at El Montecito school),and their father, Ben, is the

Chaplain.A number of large sculp-

tures on campus are by Dan.Most of Santa Barbara

Forge & Iron’s work is in pri-vate homes, but some can beseen along CabrilloBoulevard, between the har-bor and the pier, as part of thelarge public art sidewalkpieces produced by RichardIrvine and Rafael Perea de laCabada (IrvineCabada ArtDesign), with the help ofCalifornia Pottery and TileWorks, and Alfred RamirezTile Installers.

“We get really excitedwhen we have people to theshop and get to be the hosts,”said Patterson. “It’s a timewhen we can just be friendswith people and don’t have totalk about work. We get toknow people on a personallevel.”

For tonight’s 1stThursday, Patterson willhave beer that he’s brewedespecially for the event. Heusually names his beer aftertools in the shop or after aproject they do; tonight, visi-tors can look forward to TheGates of Hell bourbon oat-meal stout, named after a par-ticularly tough project.But it shouldn't be a tough

decision to attend. "We alljust have a great time," saidPatterson.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney appealed forthe support of working-class Americans in industrial Ohio onWednesday, a day after narrowly averting a humiliating defeatby rival Rick Santorum in Romney’s home state of Michigan.Romney focused almost exclusively on the U.S. economy,

China and stiff criticism of President Barack Obama’s leader-ship at his first campaign events after Tuesday’s Michigan pri-mary.“The reason I won yesterday in Michigan and Arizona is

because I’m talking about the issue people care most about andI understand that issue,” Romney said at a rally in Bexley, out-side the state capital of Columbus.“Rick Santorum’s a nice guy, but he’s an economic light-

weight,” said Romney, who made a fortune as a private equityexecutive

The question of how fateand faith impact us is thestory behind the story of “TheVow.” Based on an autobio-graphical book by Kim andKrickett Carpenter with thissame title, the film changesthe core message of the bookfrom one of Christian faith toone of fateful “moments ofimpact.” The underlyingtragedy that occurs is told inboth, when a head injury costsa young wife her recent mem-ories of her relationship andmarriage to her husband. Butrather than divorcing and try-ing to find their love oncemore, the real-life couple kepttheir vows to each other andto God and found their heal-ing within their marriage.This core difference revealsthe inability of the film mak-ers to understand the world-view of persons of faith whenthey choose instead to rewrite

history to match their limitedexperiences. This causes thefilm to be reduced in depthand causes us to wonder whatthe real story could havebeen.The novice director of the

film is Michael Sucsy, whohas experience in televisionbut this is his first featurefilm. There are four writers,two who have only written fortelevision, Jason Katims andStuart Sender, while AbbyKohn and Marc Silversteinworked together to write

“He’s Just Not That Into You”and “Valentine’s Day.” The couple in the film is

Leo (Channing Tatum) andPaige (Rachel McAdams).Meeting serendipitously inthe city of Chicago, theyquickly fall in love. Theirability to accept one another’sunique personalities and abil-ities provides the foundationfor a creative and passion-filled love and marriage.When a snow-storm accidentcauses the trauma to Paige,she reverts to her high schoolmemories and interests,unaware of the woman shehad become in the interveningyears. This makes Leo astranger to her.The journey they begin at

that moment is made evenmore fascinating by the ques-tion of identity. Is Paige only

the sum total of her experiences, thememories of which are now lost, or is shestill the same person who had chosen toleave behind her demanding family andself-absorbed fiancé and will do soagain? This question is not easilyanswered and provides the tension of thetale.Why we stay faithful to the people to

whom we have pledged our faith is alsoan underlying question of the film. If wewake up one day, either from an automo-bile accident or a loss of love and feelthat the other person has become astranger, do we divorce or keep our vowsand seek to fall in love once more? Theanswer to that question reveals the valuesby which each of us makes these life-

changing decisions.“The Vow” is a romantic tale with

love being shown to be a powerful forcein our relationships. However, commit-ment to our vows and shared faith areequally powerful forces at work in last-ing relationships but these are not shown,which weakens the film and compromis-es the telling of this true story. Discussion for those who have seen

this film:1. Leo explains to Paige that they

should try dating again to give their lovea chance to be kindled a second time. Ifyou were to lose all memory of your hus-band or wife, do you believe you wouldfall in love with them again if you weregiven the chance to start over? Why orwhy not?2. What is your understanding of a

vow? Is it a commitment that you makeuntil feelings change, or is it a commit-

ment in which you work through thechanging feelings of life? Why do youanswer as you do?3. The realization that Paige would

make the same choices again in relationto her family, but this time she would notcut them out of her life entirely, showsthat she has matured from who she wasthe first time around. Where did thatmaturity come from if she lost all recentmemory? Do you believe her soul couldmature even though her mind was unableto function fully? Why or why not?________________

SANTA BARBARA CITY ATTORNEY’S BALLOT TITLEAND SUMMARY FOR A PROPOSED INITIATIVEMEASURE TO AMEND THE CITY CHARTER WITHRESPECT TO THE CITY EMPLOYEE PENSIONS.

This proposed initiative measure, if approved by the voters ofthe city of Santa Barbara, would amend the City Charter to requirethat, in the future, all City employees who participate in the stateof California Public Employees Retirement System (“PERS”) pensionsystem would be required to pay the full amount of the “EmployeePaid Member Contribution” for their PERS pension to the extentsuch a contribution is allowed by state and federal law.

The initiative measure applies only prospectively to require thatany City future salary and benefits agreement (commonly knownas a “Memorandum of Understanding” or “MOU”) between a Cityemployee organization and the City must provide that each Cityemployee pay the full amount of the employee share of the Citypension contribution. As such, it would not apply to any MOUalready in place and approved at the time the proposed City Charteramendment is adopted and becomes effective.

The only exception allowed by the initiative measure is for anMOU between an employee organization and the City where theMOU has also been approved by the City voters.

The initiative measure is linked to a companion City ballot measurefor the election of November 2012 to adopt a City ordinance seekingvoter approval of a City transaction and use tax on retail transactionswithin the City where the tax proceeds are to be used to fundCity general governmental services. If the companion initiativemeasure to create a City transaction and use tax is not approvedby the voters, as required, this charter amendment concerningCity employee pensions would not take effect.

SANTA BARBARA CITY ATTORNEY’S BALLOT TITLEAND SUMMARY FOR A PROPOSED INITIATIVEMEASURE TO AMEND THE SANTA BARBARA

MUNICIPAL CODE TO CREATE A NEW CITY TAX ON THEGROSS RECEIPTS OF CERTAIN BUSINESSESOPERATING WITHIN THE CITY ENTERTAINMENT

DISTRICT AREA.

The proposed ballot initiative measure would amend Chapter5.04 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code to establish a newtax in the amount of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) on thegross receipts of those businesses which sell alcoholicbeverages and which are located within an area termed theEntertainment District and which are open for business to newcustomers after 11:00p.m. on six more nights each year.

The proposed ballot initiative measure would define theEntertainment District as that area of the City bounded by SolaStreet on the north, Santa Barbara Street on the east, ChapalaStreet on the west and Cabrillo Boulevard on the south.

The proposed ballot initiative measure would retain the existingprovisions in the Santa Barbara Municipal Code Chapter 5.04which exempt the gross receipts from the sale of alcohol fromthe calculation of the existing City business license tax for allof those businesses within the City unless the business is openfor business to new customers after 11:00 p.m. on six or morenights each year and the business is located within the definedEntertainment District.

SANTA BARBARA CITY ATTORNEY’S BALLOT TITLEAND SUMMARY FOR A PROPOSED INITIATIVEMEASURE TO AMEND THE SANTA BARBARAMUNICIPAL CODE TO ADOPT A LOCAL SANTA

BARBARA TRANSACTION AND USE TAX ORDINANCE.

This proposed initiative measure, if approved by a majority ofthe voters of the city of Santa Barbara, and subsequently approvedby an ordinance of the City Council adopted by five (5) or moremembers of the Council, would amend the Santa Barbara MunicipalCode to create a City retail transactions and use tax in the amountof 0.05 percent of the gross receipts resulting from the retail saleof or the storage and use of tangible personal property occurringwithin the city of Santa Barbara. The transaction and use tax tobe imposed would be used by the City for general governmentalpurposes, such as the provision of police and fire services orto fund libraries or City park projects or recreation programs.

The proposed City transaction and use tax would, under the initiativeordinance, be defined, applied, and administered in the mannerrequired by certain express portions of the state of CaliforniaRevenue and Taxation Code. The proposed initiative ordinancealso requires that, prior to the effective date of the City transactionand use tax ordinance, the City must contract with the state Boardof Equalization for the administration and collection of the Citytransaction and use tax by the state Board in a manner also consistentwith the state of California’s Sales and Use Tax Law.

The proposed transaction and use tax ordinance initiative measurewould not take effect if a companion initiative measure to amendthe Santa Barbara City Charter with respect to City employeepensions is not also approved by the City voters in the sameelection and in the manner required by law.

Monkees’ Davy Jones,former teen icon, dead(Reuters) - Davy Jones, a

onetime teen heartthrob as amember of the 1960s made-for-television pop band theMonkees, died on Wednesdayafter suffering a heart attacknear his home in Florida,according to his longtimepublicist. He was 66.Jones was stricken while

attending to racehorses hekept in Indiantown, Florida,about halfway between theAtlantic coast and LakeOkeechobee, spokeswomanHelen Kensick said. Joneshad lived with his third wife,Jessica Pacheco-Jones, inHollywood, Florida, in recentyears, she said.The three surviving former

Monkees -- Micky Dolenz,Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith-- expressed shock and sad-ness in individual statements."The time we worked

together and had together is

something I'll never forget,"Dolenz, 66, said. "He was thebrother I never had, and thisleaves a gigantic hole in myheart. The memories have andwill last a lifetime." Born inManchester, England, Joneswas the lone British memberand youngest of the band,becoming the principal teenidol of the rock quartet fea-tured for two seasons on theNBC comedy series "TheMonkees." The prime-time hitwas inspired in part by theBeatles film "A Hard Day'sNight" and ran from the fallof 1966 to August 1968.Although not allowed to

play their own instruments ontheir early records, Jones andhis three cohorts had severalhits that sold millions ofcopies, including "Last Trainto Clarksville" and "I'm aBeliever."Jones sang lead vocals on

the hit single "DaydreamBeliever," as well as suchsongs as "A Little Bit Me, aLittle Bit You," and "Valleri."Jones got his start as an 11-

year-old actor on the still-run-ning British soap opera"Coronation Street" beforelanding a role as the ArtfulDodger in a West End produc-tion of "Oliver!" He went onto originate that role for theBroadway production andearned a Tony nomination.
