President Barack Obama proposeda five-year freeze on some govern-ment spending and struck a centristtone on Tuesday in a speech designedto prove he has fiscal discipline andcan work with resurgent Republicans.

Obama said in his State of theUnion speech that voters wantDemocrats and Republicans to gov-ern with "shared responsibility." Heoffered a raft of proposals that someof his opponents might find appealingas he positions himself for a 2012 re-election bid.

"We will move forward together,or not at all, for the challenges weface are bigger than party, and biggerthan politics," Obama said.Obama's goal in the speech was to

reassure Americans weary of stub-bornly high 9.4 percent unemploy-ment, fearful of rising debt and wor-

ried that their country is fallingbehind economic powers like Chinaand India.He called for a job-creating

"Sputnik moment" fed by new invest-ments in research and education likethe 1950s space race, saying what is

Bulb-outs abandoned in 4-3 voteafter years of public outreachBY JOSHUA MOLINA

DAILY SOUND EDITORIt took Dale Francisco and Michael

Self about 90 minutes Tuesday night todismantle a city policy that the commu-nity spent nearly two years workingtogether on.In a 4-3 vote, Santa Barbara City

Councilmembers Francisco, Self, FrankHotchkiss and Randy Rowse — the newconservative block on the council —voted to eliminate new curb and side-walk bulb-outs from all intersections onChapala Street.The Chapala Street Design Guidelines

approved in 2004 had stipulated thatnew developments should include thetraffic calming devices at all intersec-tions.Francisco and Self have been

unabashed in their opposition to bulbouts, traffic circles and structures used bycity planners to slow down cars andmake it safer for bicyclists and pedestri-ans.Self attempted to express her opinion

on bulb-outs to lead off the discussion at

Tuesday’s meeting, but it was Franciscowho carried the argument on her behalf,articulating their reasoning.At one point, Francisco got huffy

when the city staff wanted to show itsown presentation on the history of thebulb-outs, before Self was allowed toshow pictures of bad bulb-outs onChapala.Francisco sternly instructed staff that

Self should go first.Self claimed that people have “revolt-

ed” against the bulb-outs. She said it

wasn’t “good strategy” from a “responsi-ble city” to require developers to pay forbulb-outs on Chapala Street.Self said even when she drives her

BMW that she has to be “extremely care-ful” to make a turn off Chapala Streetwithout going into ongoing traffic,because of the narrow streets.Francisco repeatedly said that there is

no data to support an activist’s claim thatbulb-outs make streets safer.“The vast majority of people who I

have encountered at public forums or oneon one are opposed to this,” Franciscosaid. “It makes absolutely no sense torequire something that the vast majorityof people in this town don’t want.”Francisco said that Chapala Street is a

major commercial thoroughfare, yet thestreets are not designed for bulb-outs.“We don’t want to further constrict the

narrow streets in this essentially 19thcentury town,” Francisco said.Francisco, Self and Hotchkiss have

steadily pushed a pro-business agenda,while arguing against many affordable

The Santa Barbara City CouncilOrdinance Committee, now composed ofRandy Rowse, Grant House, and FrankHotchkiss, voted to extend a suspensionon hedge height regulations.The city’s hedge policy limits heights

to three-and-a-half feet at street cornersand driveways and 8 feet everywhereelse.However, the city only enforces the

regulations when a complaint is filed.In 2008, a large number of complaints

by residents who were unaware of theordinance spurred the city council to sus-pend it for two years so that city staff

could educate the public on the limits.But two years later, the workload on

city staff left them unable to perform out-reach on the hedge height ordinances sostaff recommended extending the sus-pension again.Some residents believe that they

should be able to let their hedges grow ashigh as they want, as a way to protect pri-vacy.Others, however, counter that tall

hedges wreck a neighborhood’s qualityof life.Some others also worry that tall

hedges obstruct views for motorists andbicyclists, which present a public safetyhazard.

Others claim a double-standard.Since the city only responds to com-

plaints about hedges from residents –code enforcement doesn’t proactivelysearch for illegal hedges – enforcementcan be uneven across the city.The city stopped issuing citations over

the height of hedges after a series ofhedge-related complaints arose in thesummer of 2008.Many of the complaints came from

one individual, who was upset that hewas the target of code enforcementaction.The full City Council is expected to

vote on the proposal next month.

Hedge height debate movesback to full City Council

Council votes to allow twomarijuana dispensariesBY NICK C. TONKIN

DAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENTIn a 6-1 vote, the Santa Barbara City

Council voted to introduce an amend-ment to grandfather in two Eastsidemedicinal marijuana dispensaries, butopened the possibility of a different set-tlement.Since a federal court granted an

injunction on the city’s order to closedown the Green Well dispensary, CityAttorney Stephen Wiley advised theCouncil to amend the council’s June2010 ordinance to allow the two dispen-saries to operate.Last week the amendments were

approved by the ordinance subcommit-tee and came before the council yester-day.Wiley told the council that while the

ruling wasn’t final, it indicated that thejudge is inclined to side with the ownersof the Green Well Dispensary at 500Milpas Street.The Green Well opened in January of

2010 after receiving a permit from thecity under the original 2008 ordinancecontrols.But in June, the city council drafted a

new ordinance that, among other things,extended the minimum distance betweena dispensary and a school from 500 to600 feet.The Green Well, 532 feet from Santa

Barbara Junior High, found itself in vio-lation of the new ordinance and suedwhen the city tried to shut them down.Some members of the public were

opposed to the new amendments, feelingthe city should pursue the lawsuit and

appeal the decision if the judge ruledagainst them.Neighborhood activist Jim Westby

said the council should let the court caseplay out. He felt that the city should set-tle if necessary, but the dispensaryshould not be allowed to stay.

“We changed the law so we owe themsomething,” Westby said. “But we don’towe them so much that they can existhere forever.”Wiley said the city could pursue the

case, but it ran the risk of having thejudge invalidate the ordinance and hav-ing to pay the plaintiff’s legal fees.“You could be looking at hundreds of

thousands of dollars of legal fees,” Wileysaid.Mayor Helene Schneider said attorney

fees weren’t as worrisome as the possi-bility that the judge could throw out theordinance altogether.“To me, the bigger issue is invalidat-

ing an ordinance that took twenty-plusmeetings, an election, and a lot of griefand angst to get to where we are,”Schneider said. “The last thing this com-

munity needs is for us to start all overagain on a new ordinance.”Council member Grant House agreed.“That’s a present danger and puts us

in a very important position when wemake our decision today,” House said.Dale Francisco, an outspoken oppo-

nent of dispensaries within the city, sup-ported the ordinance but wondered ifanother solution to the litigation could befound.“If these dispensaries are what they

claim to be, compassionate, nonprofitoperations helping the seriously ill wecan probably find some other compensa-tion suitable to them other than indefi-nitely grandfathering them,” Franciscosaid.That suggestion proved to be popular

among the council. Michael Selfbelieved that finding another solutionthat didn’t involve keeping the dispen-saries around indefinitely would be bet-ter for the community.“Let’s face it, dispensaries, legal, ille-

gal, whatever, are expensive to the city,”Self said. “By keeping the two noncon-forming [dispensaries] we’re going tohave enforcement expenses, legal fees,and intimidation to the neighborhood.”Council member Randy Rowse was

the lone voice of dissent. Rowseacknowledged the legal implications, butsaid he couldn’t bring himself to vote forit on principle.“It may be the wrong thing to do for

the benefit of the city itself,” Rowse said.“But I’m having a real struggle ethicallywith going forward and saying ‘Well theordinance says three but maybe five.’”

‘We changed the lawso we owe themsomething, but wedon’t owe them somuch that they canexist here forever.’

NEWS IN BRIEFGuantanamo detainee sentencedAU.S. judge sentenced the first former Guantanamo detainee

to face a civilian trial to life in prison on Tuesday, denyingdefense calls for leniency over his treatment by CIA interroga-tors.Tanzanian national Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, 36, was

accused of joining the 1998 al Qaeda bomb attacks on U.S.embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224 people. AU.S.jury in November found him guilty of one count of conspiracyto damage or destroy U.S. property with explosives but clearedhim of 284 other conspiracy and murder charges.His case in New York City was the first test of President

Barack Obama's decision to prosecute in civilian court some ofthe 173 terrorism suspects held at the U.S. naval base atGuantanamo Bay, Cuba.Republican critics say the suspects, including Khalid Sheikh

Mohammed, the self-professed mastermind of the September11, 2001 attacks on the United States, should be tried in a mili-tary tribunal and not brought into the United States.

Study explains early death in USSmoking and, to a smaller degree, obesity explain why

Americans do not live as long as the French or Japanese, U.S.experts reported on Tuesday.Even though just 20 percent of Americans smoke now, more

than 40 percent of U.S. adults smoked in 1960 and the populationis still paying the price, the report from the National ResearchCouncil found."Other factors, such as obesity, diet, exercise, and economic

inequality, also have likely played a role in the current gap anddivergence between the United States and other countries," thepanel of experts appointed by the council wrote.Many experts have tried to explain why the United States,

which spends more per capita on healthcare than any other coun-try and which has a relatively wealthy and well-nourished popu-lation, should rank so poorly against other countries in terms oflifespan.

City approves $1.15 milliongrant for the homeless

BY JOSHUA MOLINADAILY SOUND EDITOR

The Santa Barbara City Council onTuesday approved a $1.15 milliongrant to the Housing Authority to buy a9-unit apartment building on State St.The Housing Authority plans to join

forces with a nonprofit group and openthe building at 2904 State Street to pro-vide housing and support services forthe chronically homeless.The vote was 5-2, with councilmem-

bers Michael Self and Frank Hotchkissopposing.The debate over the homeless has

sparked widespread disagreement inthe community over how to house thepopulation.Some council members, particularly

Self, Hotchkiss and Dale Francisco,have expressed outrage over theamount of homelessness and panhan-dling in the city. Santa Barbara, theysay, already does too much to help thehomeless."I feel anybody receiving something

should be giving back something,” Selfsaid, adding later that, "I would like tosee our own housing authority haverequirements for people to better theirlives. We all feel better when we're per-forming better."Francisco said even though he is

supportive of this project — becausethe money is coming out of redevelop-ment set aside funds — he has strongfeelings about the homeless.

“I believe that this problem of liv-ing on the street and using the publicspace as their private living quarters isintolerable,” Francisco said.He later added that the fundamental

goal of the 10-year-plan to end home-lessness is an illusion.Mickey Flacks, a longtime activist

for the homeless, was offended bymuch of the comments critical of thehomeless.“I am frankly appalled at what I

hear, what could only be described as18th-century thinking,” Flacks said.“What is the alternative you are pro-posing? Exiling them to Oxnard or per-haps lining them up and shooting themall down?”Flacks said a majority of the home-

less people in this community grew uphere, and it is not accurate to say thatSanta Barbara is a magnet for homelesspeople.The city’s Housing Authority

intends to relocate the tenants current-ly living at the apartment. The buildingused to be a motel before the propertyowner converted the building.Mayor Helene Schneider supported

the proposal.“These are going to be eight more

units of only 150 square feet that isreally going to change some peopleslives around," Schneider said. “Itseems hypocritical to me that this bodyhere is going to simultaneouslydemand that people get off the streetsand then deny them the funding to doso.”

‘These are going to beeight more units of only150 square feet that isreally going to changesome peoples livesaround. It seemshypocritical to me thatthis body here is goingto simultaneouslydemand that people getoff the streets and thendeny them the fundingto do so.’

at stake is "whether new jobs and indus-tries take root in this country, or some-where else.""Yes, the world has changed," Obama

said. "The competition for jobs is real.But this shouldn't discourage us. Itshould challenge us."The speech took place in a changed

atmosphere on Capitol Hill. Republicansenjoy increased power in Congress afterNovember's congressional elections andObama was forced to take account of thatshellacking by emphasizing areas whereagreement might be possible.But a civil tone was evident, with

many Democrats and Republicans sittingtogether instead of in separate blocs. Itwas a show of solidarity withDemocratic Representative GabrielleGiffords, who was shot in the head in aJanuary 8 mass shooting in Arizona thatkilled six.Obama's statesmanlike response to the

killings and surprise legislative successesafter the bruising mid-term election havehelped lift his approval ratings backabove 50 percent. The State of the Unionspeech is seen as test of whether he canbuild upon this momentum and recapturethe magic of his 2008 election.Obama addressed Republican con-

cerns about spending by going partly intheir direction. He proposed a five-yearfreeze on domestic spending that he saidwould reduce the budget deficit by $400billion over a decade, but stopped shortof massive cuts demanded by his oppo-nents.The freeze would not apply to big

entitlement programs – such as SocialSecurity and Medicare – at the heart ofAmerica's deficit problem.In a nod to business, Obama also

called for lowering the corporate tax rate.Republicans said more cuts were

needed. They say voters in Novembergave them increased power in order toroll back the size and scope of govern-ment."A few years ago, reducing spending

was important," Wisconsin Republican

Representative Paul Ryan was to say inthe Republican response to Obama."Today, it's imperative. Here's why. Weface a crushing burden of debt."Obama said to cut spending, as

Republicans want, in research and edu-cation would be "like lightening an over-loaded airplane by removing its engine.""It may feel like you're flying high at

first, but it won't take long before you'llfeel the impact," he said.Discretionary spending, excluding

money for security, makes up just 13 per-cent of the $3.7 trillion U.S. budget.Republicans, who won control of the

House in November congressional elec-tions after campaigning for less govern-ment spending, have called for $100 bil-lion in federal cuts.OBAMA PROPOSALSObama called for closing tax loop-

holes and using the savings to lower thecorporate tax rate for the first time in 25years. Republicans want a lower corpo-

rate tax rate but may not be willing toclose tax loopholes.He vowed to pursue trade deals with

Panama and Colombia similar to arecently concluded pact with SouthKorea, a move likely to be welcomed bytrade-friendly Republicans.But in a proposal Republicans could

be expected to fight, Obama backed anend to tax subsidies for oil companies tohelp pay for clean energy innovation.He set a goal of having 80 percent of

U.S. electricity production to come fromclean energy sources, nuclear, solar,wind and "clean coal," by 2035.Drawing another battle line, Obama

made clear he opposed permanentlyextending tax cuts for wealthierAmericans after agreeing to a two-yearextension in a December tax-cut compro-mise with Republicans.Obama, enjoying a modest rise in pub-

lic opinion polls, hoped the annualaddress would help him start winningback disgruntled independent voters whowill be central to his re-electionprospects in 2012.Americans have responded positively

to better bipartisan cooperation afterObama struck a deal with Republicansover tax cuts, helping lift his approvalratings in recent weeks.Americans are fearful of a $1.3 trillion

budget deficit and rising federal debt,which could hit a statutory limit of $14.3trillion by March 31.With 14.5 million Americans counted

as out of work, the White House wants toensure any cuts in federal spending donot undermine the country's gradual eco-nomic recovery.Financial markets watched for any-

thing Obama says about raising the debtlimit, a move that has been resisted bysome Republicans but which investorssee as essential for the country to avoiddefaulting on its debt.

President Obama addresses Congress in the State of the Union address on Tuesday.REUTERS

Statement by Lois Capps“The President’s message tonight was clear. We need to come together as

Democrats and Republicans and as a country to ensure we are competitivein the global economy. The President reaffirmed the need to make theinvestments in education, infrastructure, and research and developmentthat built the American middle class. In looking to create the jobs of todayand tomorrow, why would we slash our investments in programs likeUCSB’s Institute for Energy Efficiency? Why would we slash our invest-ments in rebuilding our roads, bridges, trains and airports in need likeHighway 101 or the Santa Maria airport?“We all agree about the need to make government more efficient and to

bring down our long term deficits. But ensuring long term economic growthis the most important step we can take to reign in those deficits, brought onmainly by the 2008 meltdown in our economy. Cutting education andresearch would be one of the most damaging steps we could take to our longterm economic outlook and the effort to create good jobs for the Americanpeople.“I was also pleased the President showed that he understands the special

importance of Social Security and did not advocate for cutting or privatiz-ing this critical program. Social Security works, and is not responsible forthe deficit. Nearly one in six of my constituents receive Social Security, andmany would be impoverished without it. We can’t look to Social Security tosolve our deficit problems.“Finally, I was very pleased by the President’s continued call to change

the tone of our political debate. Solving our nation’s extremely big chal-lenges will be easier to accomplish if we treat each other with respect andwork together to find common sense compromises.”

‘King’s Speech’ gets royaltreatment at Oscars

BYDEANGOODMANREUTERS NEWS SERVICE

"The King's Speech" reigned supremein Hollywood on Tuesday as Oscar vot-ers bestowed 12 nominations on theBritish drama, including best picture,actor and director.The film, revolving around wartime

monarch King George VI's struggle toovercome a crippling stammer, led afield packed with commercial and criti-cal hits."True Grit," a Western remake about a

young girl's brave quest to track downher father's killer, received 10 nomina-tions despite performing poorly in keycritics awards. The film's writ-ers/directors/producers, Joel and EthanCoen, accounted for three of those nom-inations.The Facebook drama, "The Social

Network," the early favorite duringawards season, received eight nomina-tions, tying with the groundbreaking sci-fi thriller "Inception," one of 2010'sbiggest movies.All will vie for best picture, a 10-film

field rounded out by "Black Swan," "TheFighter," "The Kids Are All Right," "127Hours," "Toy Story 3" and "Winter'sBone."Initial consensus among critics indi-

cated a tight race for the top prizebetween Columbia's "Social Network"and Weinstein Co's "King's Speech,"with Paramount's "True Grit" a possiblespoiler.The films' respective studios will

ramp up their campaigning in the lead-

up to the 83rd annual awards show onFebruary 27. Actor Kevin Spacey, a"Social Network" executive producer,said talk of a bitter contest was "a sillyconversation.""You guys like the horse race. I enjoy

the work," he told Reuters.INDIE DRAMA 'WINTER'S BONE'SURPRISESAs in recent years there was little sur-

prise or controversy among the leadingcontenders.Perhaps the most notable omission

was that of "Inception" directorChristopher Nolan, despite universalacclaim for his bold vision setting a heistthriller in the subconscious."As any of the other people on

'Inception' will tell you, our job wouldnot have been possible without Chris'amazing vision," said Guy HendrixDyas, the film's Oscar-nominated pro-duction designer.Observers were pleasantly surprised

by the four nominations for the indiefilm "Winter's Bone," a gritty murder-mystery that earned just $6 million dur-ing its limited release at the NorthAmerican box office and is out on DVD.Awards season favorite Colin Firth

was nominated for his lead role in "TheKing's Speech" as the father of the cur-rent monarch, Queen Elizabeth.His co-stars were also nominated for

their supporting roles in the WeinsteinCo. release: Helena Bonham Carter, asGeorge's wife, the future Queen Mother;and Australian actor Geoffrey Rush as

the king's unorthodox speech therapist.The film's director, Tom Hooper, was

one of three first-time contenders in thecategory, joined by David O. Russell forseven-time nominee "The Fighter" andDarren Aronofsky for five-time nominee"Black Swan."The field was rounded out by "Social

Network" director David Fincher, a pre-vious nominee for "The Curious Case ofBenjamin Button," and the Coens, whowon three years ago for "No Country forOld Men."A sapphic undertone pervades the best

actress race where the leading con-tenders are Natalie Portman for her rolein "Black Swan," which features an erot-ic coupling between ballerinas, andAnnette Bening for playing a lesbianmother in "The Kids Are All Right,"another arthouse movie with four nomi-nations.For the first time since 2001, no black

actors received any nominations. ButJavier Bardem became the first Spanish-language best actor nominee, for his rolein the drama "Biutiful," which opens inNorth American theaters on Friday.Virtually all the best picture nominees

crossed over to mainstream audiences,and those still in theaters will likelyreceive an Oscar-related boost in busi-ness in coming weeks.Four of the nominees are in the top 10

at the North American box office: "TheKing's Speech," "True Grit," "BlackSwan" and "The Fighter." "The King'sSpeech" has been the No. 1 film inBritain for the past three weekends.

housing projects and the city’s efforts tohelp the homeless.Francisco in 2007, and Self and

Hotchkiss in 2009, all landed seats on theCity Council, largely because they cam-paigned on a platform that an “activistplanning staff” was running uncheckedat City Hall.The dislike of bulb-outs was among

their core concerns on the campaign trail.The debate spotlighted the deep philo-

sophical divisions on the council, exacer-bated by the loss of Das Williams, whowas just elected to the state AssemblyThe council in December appointed

Paradise Café owner Randy Rowse toreplace Williams, and in doing so shiftedthe power on the council to the conserva-tives.Rowse describes himself as an inde-

pendent, but as a member of the publiche has been more in line with the conser-

vatives than the liberals on the council, afact illustrated Tuesday night.“Bulb-outs are generally not all bad, I

just think that in some locations theydon’t work and I think Chapala is one ofthose places,” Rowse said.Alternative transportation advocates

contend that the bulb-outs improve visi-bility for pedestrians and bicyclists andultimately make it safer for everyone onthe road.“I support keeping bulb-outs in the

Chapala Street Design Guidelines, whichare serving to make the communitysafer,” said Ralph Fertig, of the SantaBarbara Bicycle Coalition.Landscape architect Bob Cunningham

agreed.He said the bulb-outs have made

Chapala Street safer. The green vegeta-tion inside the structures also makes thestreet more visually appealing.“It has been shown empirically that

people gravitate toward shopping inbusiness districts where there is vegeta-

tion,” Cunningham said.Since the bulb-outs shorten the dis-

tance when crossing the street,Cunningham said the devices make itsafer for the elderly, disabled and othersto get across the street.Mayor Schneider, Grant House and

Harwood “Bendy” White were on thelosing end of Tuesday night’s vote.White argued that rather than elimi-

nating the requirement outright, that thedesign guidelines say that developers“may” instead of “shall” add the curband sidewalk bulb outs.Schneider, House and White said it

would be unfair to all of the businessesand others who participated in severalworkshops years ago to just drop thebulb-outs altogether.“We are taking a big step in a different

direction without getting full vettingfrom those stakeholders which we didvery studiously going in,” White said.Schneider agreed.“It is too extreme,” she said.

Dollar holds near low ahead of FedBYDANIELMAGNOWSKI

REUTERS NEWS SERVICEThe U.S. dollar held near a 10-week

low against a basket of currencies onWednesday ahead of a statement fromthe U.S. Federal Reserve, which isexpected to reaffirm the central bank'sfocus on supporting growth.U.S. stock index futures prices ticked

higher after U.S. President BarackObama delivered the annual State of theUnion address, pointing to a modestlyfirmer opening on Wall Street onWednesday.

Obama proposed a freeze on domes-tic spending over the next five years tohelp reduce the national deficit but ana-lysts said the speech provided no sur-prises."The stock market should be fine with

the spending freeze," said ChristopherLow, chief economist at FTN Financialin New York. "People don't want addi-tional stimulus here. This will allowinvestors to focus on the Fed."Japan's Nikkei average .N225 fell 0.4

percent, giving back some of the previ-ous day's 1 percent rally, though other

Asian markets ticked up slightly.The MSCI index of Asian stocks out-

side Japan .MIAJ00000PUS rose 0.1percent. Since the start of the year, it hasunderperformed the MSCI world index.MIWD00000PUS, which has risenalmost 2 percent.Emerging Asian markets rose power-

fully in 2010, but since then someinvestors have taken profit, and somepulled money out of economies they fearare the most vulnerable to the harmfuleffects of inflation, a growing globalconcern.
