On Patrol says city wasnegligent to allow filming

BY JERAMY GORDONDAILY SOUND STAFF WRITER

From June through December of lastyear, the producers of On Patrol withSanta Barbara PD went about their busi-ness as usual. In preparation for a fifthseason of the hit reality TV show, filmingcrews were permitted to ride along withour Men and Women in Blue.From routine traffic stops, to danger-

ous high speed chases; from domesticdisturbances to gang fights, the produc-

tion staff were there to shine a light onthe American Riviera’s less glamorousway of life.Then on Dec. 20, without notice,

Santa Barbara City Administrator JimArmstrong abruptly suspended filmingciting a financial dispute with the show’sproducers.The show’s Executive Producers, Ira

and Linda Distenfield, fired back earlierthis year demanding the city allow OnPatrol with Santa Barbara PD, Inc., to

finish filming the show’s fifth season.A risk analyst for the City of Santa

Barbara responded to Distenfield’s peti-tion in March rejecting their claim.Attorneys for the city say the filming wassuspended because there was no agree-ment to film in the first place as theshow’s contracted ended with the fourthseason.But the producers have e-mail com-

munication, which granted an extensionSee ON PATROL, page 6

Tea Fire burn victimsreach settlementBY NICK C. TONKIN

DAILY SOUND STAFF WRITERLance and Carla Hoffman, the couple who

suffered severe burns while fleeing the 2008Tea Fire, have reached a settlement in theirlawsuit against Tea Garden Property ownerMary K. Robinson.Clark T. Stirling, an attorney for the

Hoffmans, said $6 million is being awarded tothree parties that filed suit against Robinson.The Hoffmans will be eligible to collect a por-tion of it, though how much still has to bedetermined and it’ll still never be enough toheal the physical and emotional woundscaused by the fire.“We don’t think this is full compensation

regardless of what we get out of the distribu-tion, but it’s the most we’re going to get fromRobinson,” Stirling said.

The property had been ground zero for the2008 fire that destroyed over 200 homes.Stirling said the couple’s escape left them

with all over their skin, leaving scarring thatwill cause health complications for theHoffmans for the rest of their lives.Stirling said the property had been a known

hangout for students and had a number of firepits for use. The property used to have a guardon duty, but he’d been dismissed the yearbefore.“We think the owner had the responsibility

to make sure students didn’t go onto the prop-erty and to make sure that if they did that theywere not any facilities to encourage a fire,”Stirling said. “And if a fire was started, to havea guard or somebody on the property to makesure it didn’t spread.”

A former finance official stole more than $53 million in cityfunds from former President Ronald Reagan's boyhood home-town in Illinois in a fraud that spanned more than two decades,U.S. prosecutors said on Tuesday.Rita Crundwell, 59, who had served as comptroller of Dixon,

Illinois since 1983, used the money to buy three homes, morethan a dozen cars, trucks and other vehicles, and to invest in ahorse farm that has 311 quarter horses, the U.S. Attorney'sOffice for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago said.Crundwell was arrested in mid-April and charged with steal-

ing $30 million from the city between 2006 and 2012.Prosecutors said she funneled the money into a secret accountshe controlled. On Tuesday, prosecutors said further investiga-tion found that the alleged fraud began in 1990 and involvedmore than $53 million in funds from the city of about 15,000people, located about 100 miles southwest of Chicago.

ed in the background during Facebook's closely watched jour-ney to public markets, will be involved in the roadshow, anoth-er source said.Facebook declined to comment.Many on Wall Street had not expected Zuckerberg to turn up

on the roadshow after he skipped a March analysts' meeting,ceding the stage to COO Sheryl Sandberg and CFO DavidEbersman. His March absence irked some investors who wereindignant that the CEO, while wielding near-absolute controlover the eight-year-old firm, had snubbed Wall Street.

Cinco de ChihuahuaHE DROOLS. He snores. You’re

always picking up after him. (No, notyour significant other—at least, I

hope not!). Your dog, of course. But with onewag of his tail or one loving look with thosesoulful eyes, all is forgiven. It’s no wonderthat dogs are the most popular pets inAmerica. What? You don’t have a dog? No need to

fret. There is a plethoraof pups eagerly awaitingnew homes at the SantaBarbara County AnimalShelter. The downside, ofcourse, is that there arewaaaay too many dogs –especially Chihuahuas –who need homes. And that’s where

Chihuahuas de Mayoenters the picture. As I mentioned in my

last column, Chihuahuasde Mayo is a new, countywide programaimed at drawing attention to the importanceof spaying and neutering and the need foradoptive homes for Chihuahuas andChihuahua mixes, which currently represent40% of all dogs living in animal shelters.Participating shelters throughout the countywill be offering half off adoption fees duringthe month of May and several Santa BarbaraCounty animal groups will offer FREEspay/neuter services to the first 300Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes that aresigned up.To get the ball rolling, the Santa Barbara

County Responsible Pet Ownership (RPO)

Alliance will be holding a press conference atthe Santa Barbara Courthouse this Friday,May 4 at 11:00 am. Santa Barbara CityCouncil Member, Cathy Murillo, will accom-pany Jan Glick, Santa Barbara County’sDirector of Animal Services, as SantaBarbara’s Chihuahuas de Mayo Ambassadorand several adoptable Chihuahuas will lend ahelping paw at the event. Hope to see youthere!

PET OF THE WEEK –QUINN

Poor little Quinn...he first came to the shel-ter almost 3 years ago and he really needs

to get out and experience a kind, gentleadult home! This 3-year-old, 8 pound

Chihuahua is a real snuggle bug who lovesto jump into a warm lap and give lots of

kisses. Quinn is friendly, sweet, and affec-tionate (he gets along with cats, too!), butheʼs also a take-charge kind of guy when

the situation arises, so he would do well ina home with another dog who is a leader.

A Synchronized Approach to Insurance

Let’s talk ...Let’s discuss smart ways to synchronize your insurance coverage and save you money

to their contract to film, in writing fromArmstrong, all with the knowledge of CityAttorney Steve Wiley.“It’s absurd,” Ira Distenfield said. “How can

they claim that we didn’t have an agreement tofilm when they permitted us to ride along forsix months?”Santa Barbara City Charter says that only

the City Council can confirm an agreement toconduct business with the city.City attorneys claim that despite oral and

written consent from Armstrong and PoliceChief Cam Sanchez for the filming to contin-ue, no agreement was ever ratified by theCouncil and is therefore void, according to theCity Charter.“The City is attempting to excuse its bad

faith dealings with On Patrol by suggestingthat there is not an enforceable agreement thatbinds the City to any obligations to On Patrol,”attorneys for On Patrol said in a statement.“Certainly the City Administrator, and espe-cially the City Attorney were all familiar withCity Charter requirements for contracts at thetime they were asking On Patrol to completeadditional episodes. “The City, at that time, had the option of

halting all On Patrol activity with the PoliceDepartment, if they believed that there was noagreement. In fact, the City Administrator

specifically agreed in writing to the extension,and the City Attorney, who drafted the originalcontract was clearly aware of the extensionagreement by the City Administrator.”On Patrol’s attorneys say the City’s defense

raises many more wrong doings on the part ofthe city.“It is completely inconsistent for the City to

suggest that there is no contract, yet to permitand encourage the On Patrol production teamto engage in the potentially dangerous task offilming police episodes,” the show’s attorneyswrote.The original contract provided for risk

waivers and releases of liability in the eventof injury during filming and ride-along activ-ity. The suggestion by the City that there wasno extension of the contract, waiving the risk,exposed the City to potential significant lia-bility for any harm to members of the OnPatrol film crew, according to the show’sattorney.On Patrol filed an amended complaint on

Friday in Santa Barbara Superior Court raisingthese and other issues.“Not only is the City Attorney completely

wrong in his suggestion that there is no agree-ment to extend the contract with On Patrol,”the statement said, “but his argument exposesthe questionable state of the legal administra-tion and risk management at the City.”On Patrol with Santa Barbara PD, Inc. is

seeking $1.25 million in damages.

Volunteer Jim Brooks takes his Pekinese,“Daisy” around the cancer ward. Daisy’s smallsize makes it easy for patients to hold andBrooks said she always lights up someone’sface.“Most of the patients we see are regular

patients that get chemo on a weekly or month-ly cycle,” Brooks said. “A lot of people lookforward to seeing her when they’re there.”In the hospital’s central courtyard, staffers

are modeling Miracle Gowns, hospital gowns

decorated for patients in Cottage Children’sHospital. Designs came from other employees,students, and the children themselves and fea-tured butterflies, a snow white dress, and a“Harry Potter and Star Wars” theme.Jackie Van Lingen, annual giving coordina-

ronment less scary for children,” Van Lingensaid.

IN PASSING. Last week, Lucy,beloved canine companion and servicedog for Levi Saks of Santa Barbara,passed away just days after her four-teenth birthday. Originally abandoned inSanta Maria, Lucy was eventuallybrought to the Dog Adoption andWelfare Group (DAWG) in SantaBarbara, where Levy met and fell inlove with the 8 year old Lab mix. Levi,a disabled Vietnam war veteran, whocan often be found cruising aroundSanta Barbara on his purple Harleytrike, says his house feels awfully bigwithout Lucy around.

“I’ve always had great dogs,” Leviremembers. “But Lucy was somethingspecial; she understood my wheelchairfrom day 1 and she was devoted to me.She was also well-known around town.People always greeted her and shewould smile and wag her tail and thenshe’d come right back to me and touchmy hand with her nose as I stroked her.The two of us were inseparable.” Ourthoughts are with you, Levi…

Facebook asks members to flag donor status Tired of the long wait for a new kid-

ney, Michael Shelling, a 50-year-oldvideo game marketing consultant basedin San Diego, decided to take a moreactive role in the search.About three months ago, he decided to

tap into his social network by setting upa Facebook page to get the word out tohis friends, and their friends, that heneeds a new kidney and, by the way, hisblood type is O.The search may have paid off. A

potential donor is going through testingto see if they are a match.It is the kind of scenario Facebook

hopes to foster. Chief Executive MarkZuckerberg and Chief Operating OfficerSheryl Sandberg put out the call earlieron Tuesday to encourage the social net-work's users -- more than 900 million --to speak up if they are organ donors and

display it on their personal pages."We think that people can really help

spread awareness of organ donation andthat they want to participate in this totheir friends, and we think that can be abig part in helping to solve the crisis,"Zuckerberg told ABC-TV's "GoodMorning America" program on Tuesday.There are currently 92,102 people in

the United States waiting for a donor kid-ney — the organ that is in greatestdemand — according to the OrganProcurement and TransplantationNetwork. Last year, only 28,535 kidneytransplants took place, with the majorityof those donated from deceased donors.That disparity leaves many like

Shelling waiting in line for a donor organto become available, a process that cantake three or four years, said JoelNewman, a spokesman for the United

Network for Organ Sharing.In 2007, Shelling was diagnosed with

end-stage kidney disease as a result ofchronic high blood pressure. He under-goes home dialysis to clear excess fluid,minerals and wastes from his blood, buthe longs for the day when he can dowithout it.So, he decided to conduct his own

search for a donor."With the waiting list, that tells you

there are more people out there that needorgans than are willing or able to donate.Some of that has to do with a lack ofawareness," Shelling said.In many cases, people simply do not

think about becoming an organ donor,Newman said. He hopes Zuckerberg'scall to have people add their donor statusto their Facebook Timeline will increaseawareness of the need for organ donors.

Obama drops in on AfghanistanBAGRAM AIRBASE, Afghanistan

(Reuters) — President Barack Obama markedthe anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s deathwith a speedy trip to Afghanistan, signing astrategic pact with Kabul on Wednesday anddelivering an election-year message toAmericans that the war is winding down.Shortly after arriving under the cover of

darkness, Obama and Afghan President HamidKarzai signed a strategic partnership agree-ment at the Afghan leader’s palace that sets outa long-term U.S. role in Afghanistan, includ-ing aid and advisers.The deal may provide Afghans with reas-

surances that they will not be abandoned whenmost NATO combat troops leave as planned in2014. For Obama, it was an opportunity todraw a line under a war started by his prede-cessor, George W. Bush, in response to theSeptember 11, 2001, attacks on the UnitedStates but which is now widely unpopular athome.“My fellow Americans, we have traveled

through more than a decade under the darkcloud of war. Yet here, in the pre-dawn darknessof Afghanistan, we can see the light of a newday on the horizon,” Obama said in a televisedaddress to the American people against thebackdrop of armored vehicles and a U.S. flag.“As we emerge from a decade of conflict

abroad and economic crisis at home, it’s time

to renew America,” he said. “This time of warbegan in Afghanistan, and this is where it willend.”Nearly 3,000 U.S. and NATO soldiers have

died during the Afghanistan war since theTaliban rulers were ousted in 2001.Obama visited with troops during a stay of

roughly six hours in the country and empha-sized the demise of al Qaeda leader bin Laden,an event that his re-election campaign hastouted as one of his most important achieve-ments in office. Obama left Afghanistan on AirForce One shortly after delivering his speech.“Not only were we able to drive al Qaeda

out of Afghanistan, but slowly and systemati-cally we have been able to decimate the ranksof al Qaeda, and a year ago we were able tofinally bring Osama bin Laden to justice,”Obama said to cheers.But even as he asserted in his speech that

there was a “clear path” to fulfilling the U.S.mission in Afghanistan and made his strongestclaim yet that the defeat of al Qaeda was“within reach,” he warned of further hardshipahead.“I recognize that many Americans are tired

of war. ... But we must finish the job we start-ed in Afghanistan and end this war responsi-bly,” he said at Bagram airbase outside ofKabul, where only months ago thousands ofAfghans rioted after U.S. troops accidentallyburned copies of the Koran, the Muslim holybook.The incident plunged already tense rela-

tions to their lowest point in years.While speaking in broad terms of “difficult

days ahead,” Obama did not address some ofthe thorniest challenges.Those include corruption in Karzai’s weak

government, the unsteadiness of Afghan forcesin the face of a resilient Taliban insurgency,and Washington’s strained ties with Pakistanwhere U.S. officials see selective cooperationin cracking down on militants fueling cross-border violence.
