Michael Cooper had given uphope.There was no way, he thought, that

the Santa Barbara City Councilwould let him cut down the palm treein front of his house.City staff said no.The Street Tree Advisory

Committee said no.The Parks and Recreation

Commission said no.

The fate of the tree seemedinevitable.In fact, Cooper, a Santa Barbara

dentist, wasn’t even in the roomwhen the council finally voted.He left half-way through the hear-

ing.He should have stayed.In a surprise vote, the Santa

Barbara City Council voted 6-0 to letCooper remove the tree in front ofhis home, even though the tree ishealthy and poses no safety dangers.

Cooper convinced the council tolet him relocate the tree.“That tree doesn’t fit in with his

landscape the way that the olive treesand oak trees do,” said councilmanDale Francisco. “This tree is way outof proportion. I can see why he wantsto remove it. The tree really has nogreat value to the neighborhood.”The vibrant Canary Island Date

Palm stands tall along the stonedriveway in front of Cooper’s ocean-view home on Santa Barbara’s

Riviera.But the tree block’s Cooper’s

ocean view. The falling palm fronds,Cooper said, also pose a safety haz-ard. Cooper didn’t plant the tree,which is about 20 years old. He does-n’t know who did.Even through the tree is on

The benches on State Street willremain where they are, the SantaBarbara City Council decided onTuesday.The controversial proposal to

move the benches to discourage thehomeless from sitting down fell onevote short on Tuesday.The council vote was oddly split.Councilman Grant House, a busi-

ness owner but also a longtimehomeless advocate, joined DaleFrancisco, the council’s most vocalcritic of homeless people and pan-handlers, in voting to relocate thebenches. Councilman Randy Rowse,also a downtown business owner,sided with House and Francisco.House blamed “the press” for

“mischaracterizing” the situation.“I pretty well support the proposal

as is,” House said. “If there was aproposal coming forward to takeaway the benches, I would say noway. I tend to support moving for-ward with the project as it is.”Mayor Helene Schneider, Michael

Self, Harwood “Bendy” White andFrank Hotchkiss agreed that spend-ing $50,000 to shift benches was agamble they weren’t willing to take.“If this is effective, and it costs

$50,000, I would say great,” saidSee BENCHES, page 3

The Santa Barbara School DistrictBoard of Education picked a newselection firm to find a replacement foroutgoing Superintendent Brian Sarvis.Sarvis is retiring June 30.Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates

will be searching for the District’s topmanager. Though the firm is based inIllinois, Board members noted theassociates in charge of the search areboth California based.A week ago, the Board had selected

Ray & Associates from a group of foursearch firms. Ray & Associates laterwithdrew, prompting the Board toreconsider.Sarvis said Leadership Associates

had also withdrawn from considera-

tion, saying they had found work else-where.“There are a lot of superintendents

retiring,” Sarvis said.This left the Board with only two

firms, David Long & Associates, andHYA.Kate Parker and Annette Cordero

said concerns that they had about thetwo firms had been allayed since theirpresentations. Parker had been reas-sured that David Long was attentive tospecific requests from the Board andCordero learned that the Oxnard Boardof Education hadn’t dropped HYA.Greg Price, Board Legal Counsel,

said his office hadn’t turned up any-thing of concern on either firm.That left a great deal of hesitancy

amongst the Board, with no one want-

ing to make a firm statement. KateParker noted that HYA had made a lotof placements in California, but DavidLong had made more. Asked if she wasleaning towards HYA, Parker said shewas, “just commenting.”

“I think we would likely get goodservices from both of them,” Parkersaid.Board member Ed Heron said a

friend of his brother’s who worked atanother district had been complimen-tary of Carolyn McKennan, an associ-ate of HYA.Board members made a few other

noncommittal comments until KateParker made the hesitant motion toselect Hazard. Monique Limon sec-onded and the decision passed unani-mously.

Board hires firm to replace Sarvis

take down a tree within that setback.“I love trees,” Cooper said. “I am not

a tree killer. I am not someone who hatestrees.”Cooper said he prefers olive trees and

has planted more than 200 on the prop-erty.He’s baffled by the city’s rules.“I have been here for 39 years,”

Cooper said. “I didn’t know the city hadan urban forest.”Although members of the City

Council said city staff made the rightcall in recommending that the tree stay,council members also said they had thediscretion to decide whether the treeshould remain.Mayor Helene Schneider was grateful

that Cooper went through the cityprocess, and didn’t just chop the treedown.“For anyone listening who says ‘Oh I

can just take this to the council and getthe tree removed,’ that’s not going tohappen,” Schneider said. “This is a case-by-case basis.”City Attorney Stephen Wiley warned

that there could also be legal conse-quences if someone chops down a treewithout a permit.“Someone who does that without

going through the city process runs therisk of having misdemeanor chargesfiled against them,” Wiley said.Councilman Frank Hotchkiss stepped

down before the vote because he said heis a friend of Cooper’s and he lives in thearea.The biggest drama in the meeting

came when Mayor Helene Schneider cutoff a rambling speaker who seemed to bedefending Cooper’s property rights, butwouldn’t stop talking long after his twominutes of speaking time were up.After repeated polite warnings,

Schneider turned off the speaker’smicrophone and called a recess to themeeting.After the brief recess, it became clear

that the council was going to backCooper’s request.“I am not an arborist, but I was having

trouble seeing why that tree really fit inwith that particular area,” said council-man Randy Rowse.Cooper and the city are going to work

together to find a new, better home forthe tree.“Maybe he can put the tree on Craig’s

List and someone will swipe it up,” said

councilman Frank Hotchkiss, “but Idon’t know if it is effective and I don’twant to spend that kind of money on it.”The council agreed to revisit the pro-

posal in a year.The “State Street Benches Relocation

Pilot Project,” would shift the directionof 14 benches on the 800 and 900 blocksof State Street, in a move that theDowntown Organization hopes will dis-courage homeless people, many ofwhom are mentally ill, from gettingcomfortable on State Street.The Downtown Organization was

working in partnership with the city’sredevelopment agency on the proposal.The proposal, however, appeared to

pop up out of nowhere. The DowntownOrganization and the redevelopment

agency held a sparsely attended meetingin January at the Canary Hotel.When Schneider, an advocate for

helping the homeless transition into per-manent housing, found out, she askedthat the matter go before the full coun-cil.Redevelopment Agency manager

Marck Aguilar admitted at Tuesday’scouncil meeting that the proposal wasnot thoroughly vetted.“There wasn’t a whole lot of profes-

sional in-depth analysis because it did-n’t seem warranted,” Aguilar said.Many community members were

opposed to the project.“To me it seems that taking the bench

and moving it a few feet for $50,000 isa waste,” said Faith Merrit. “It is turningour back on veterans. It is turning ourback on the mentally ill.”She said the money could be used to

help the homeless, not disrupt them.“Why change 14 benches when you

can change 14 hearts?” she said.Councilman Dale Francisco, who has

been critical of the city spending moneyon some services for the homeless, saidit was OK to spend $50,000.“Everything we do in the public

space is astonishingly expensive,”Francisco said. Many millions of dollarshave been spent on State Street. At thispoint I see no reason why we shouldchange this plan.”Schneider said the city needs to have

a fact-based strategy for addressing thehomeless problem. The city’s 12-pointplan for ending homelessness nevermentioned moving benches as a solu-tion to the problem.“If we work smart we will be able to

create good policy based on facts,”Schneider said.

Military sets new strategyThe military on Tuesday issued its first new statement of

strategy in seven years, moving beyond a focus on the war inAfghanistan to address the rise of China and other strategicchallenges.The 2011 national military strategy by the Joint Chiefs of

Staff reaffirmed U.S. commitment to fighting violent extremismwith allies in Afghanistan and Pakistan but said the militarymust broaden its horizons to address developing threats else-where.

U.S. plans to inject $53 billioninto high speed passenger railVice President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced an ambi-

tious $53 billion U.S. program to build new high-speed rail net-works and make existing ones faster over the next six years.But the plan drew immediate fire from majority Republicans

in the House of Representatives, who said building high-speedrail requires private investment rather than a government plan.Biden, who estimated he has ridden Amtrak trains between

Washington and his home in Wilmington, Delaware, some7,900 times, made a strong pitch for rail transportation to enablethe United States to compete and lead internationally."This is about seizing the future," he said, making the

announcement at Philadelphia's busy 30th Street station withU.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.The United States should follow the example of Japan and

China and build high-speed rail, Biden said. "If we do not, youtell me howAmerica is going to be able to lead the world in the21st century," he said.

‘My Life as I see it gives abackstage look Warwick’s lifeBY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER

THE BOOKWORM SEZThroughout your life, music has

been your background.Hear the first notes of “Baby Love”

and you’re ten years old, sitting on yourback steps in the sun. Listen to theopening of “Hot Stuff”, and you’redoin’ the Hustle in your memories.Hear “Chances Are”, and you’re readyfor cuddling.But what plays in the background for

those same singers? Read “My Life, AsI See It: An Autobiography” by DionneWarwick, and you might find out.Born just before World War II, Marie

Dionne Warrick was raised in a diverseneighborhood where everyone gotalong despite their differences. Warrick(who always went by her middle name)loved to perform, and her grandfather, aminister, gave her the confidence tosing in church.Many in Warrick’s family possessed

musical talent and some of them per-formed as The Drinkard Singers. Inhigh school, Warrick formed TheGospelaires and that group was askedto do studio back-up for other acts.

But Warrick stood out from the restand was invited to sing and record on

her own. By accident, one of her firstrecord’s labels was released with a mis-spelling, and the singer became offi-cially known as Dionne Warwick.Throughout her career, Dionne

Warwick worked with some of music’sbest-known singers and songwriters. Inthis book, she writes about her earlyyears and how she worked with BurtBacharach and Hal David, and the “tri-angle marriage that worked” until itended in lawsuits.She writes about rivals: how Diana

Ross never displayed to Warwick theattitude Ms. Ross is famous for; howWarwick “was through” with BarbraStreisand and her seeming indifferencetowards her audience; and how young,up-and-coming female performersshould dress better and with more class.She also writes about spoiling hercousin Whitney Houston, and support-ing Houston’s career goals.Warwick writes of mistakes (the

Letters to the EditorRandy AlcornExcellent column today. I wish your

frightening figures on our militaryinvolvement around the planet couldfind their way into every single home inAmerica. The average citizen hasabsolutely no idea, nada, of the horrificmilitary presence of our now bankruptnation all around this planet of ours.And to what end? Just to keep the mili-tary-industrial complex fed while therest of us move ever closer to starvation.Are all the decision making brains sodrug soaked that they are unable tocomprehend where we are heading?Is it going to take rioting in the

streets, as we are seeing elsewhere, forour feckless government to wake up? Ifso I'll be glad to join in and bring all myfriends.The figures you quote in the column

today are so obviously disastrous inevery way to our own country. Yet thedecision makers in Washington do noth-ing! Talk about a time to 'Wake Up

America!' Or is it just too late?

BulboutsI am wondering how Joshua Molina

can write, in the Jan. 26 article, "ByeBye Bulbouts", that the traffic hazards"make it safer for bicyclists." I chal-lenge anyone to ride a bike around thesethings, which force you to swerve intoauto traffic at the intersections, and seeif you feel safer. The congested com-muting caused by deletion of lanes isanything but "calming" for everyone.Even the police have been complainingabout them.If the so-called "Liberals" who are

shoving these policies down out throatsclaim that people "gravitate towardshopping... where there is vegetation,"then why is concrete Costco packed, butflowery Downtown SB full of "ForRent" signs? Do you really buy thatmost people go shopping where the

nicest flowers are?The black tire marks on the curb bul-

bouts that the City is repainting continu-ously show how "safe" they really are.Drivers actually get distracted from see-ing the pedestrians, because they aretrying not to collide with irregularcurbs. I have had trucks turn into mylane, because they can not turn in thenarrowed intersections.When I have pointed out the engi-

neering flaws of these designs, city offi-cials have failed to respond.Of course the Landscape Architect of

the overpopulated city staff wants morevegetated spots in town, but intersec-tions are supposed to be designed fortraffic flow, not for expensive, prettyhindrances to traffic flow.I really don't think that this is a "lib-

eral" vs. conservative issue, but one ofpragmatically facing Santa Barbara'seconomic bankruptcy and political cor-ruption.

Is going slow thebest approach?

Can a two pack a day smoker quit bytaking one less puff each day? Let’s saythere are 20 puffs in one cigarette and 20cigarettes in a pack. That means every 20days that person would smoke one less cig-arette and in about 13 months that person

would take their lastpuff. I suppose this ispossible in theory, butdoes it ever actuallyhappen?What about someone

who is obese and hasnever worked out? Canthat person add on 10seconds of exerciseeach day and get ingreat shape slowly?Maybe this can happenas well.However, what does

it really take for people in these situationsto change their lifestyle? Is it just thesmoking habit that is affecting the first per-son or is it just the weight that is affectingthe second person?In my experience I hear many people

say that they want to change, but they wantto do it slowly and comfortably. Ask mehow many people I have actually seenchange this way? None! So in theory itseems like the slow approach can work, butthe big problem with the super slowmethod is that changes don’t happen fastenough for people to want to stick with it.They get fed up and quit.Another problem is that when it comes

to one’s health there are many issues toconsider. If the smoker slowly cuts back oncigarettes, but is still having a coffee anddonut for breakfast and doesn’t get exer-cise then that person’s body is not going tochange nearly as quickly as a person whoquits smoking and also eats better andtakes up exercise. The obese person tryingto lose weight certainly isn’t eating proper-ly either and that is a major hindrance tofeeling better and losing weight.What does it take for someone to really

make a difference? I believe it takes a lotof discipline because inevitably there isgoing to be some physical and emotional

pain to get past the hump. There shouldalways be a structured plan and it can evenbe moderately paced, but when the superslow-mo method is attempted failure is justaround the corner. If an obese person islooking to get healthier then all the ele-ments of a healthy lifestyle should beincorporated.It really doesn’t take very long for

someone like this to see big changes.Within a month or two of having disciplineand dedication a person can change theirlife forever. There will be bumps along thisshort period in time, but it has to be thatway. With no bumps there are no lastingresults.Ultimately I believe people need to

change their mind first. If the obese personhad the mentality of “I’m going to dowhatever it takes, and I won’t give up,”then that person is well on their way tosuccess. On the contrary, if the obese per-son’s mentality is “I just don’t know, Iguess I’ll give it a try,” then that personwill be on a constant roller coaster untilthere is a mental shift.Don’t be on the fence. Get committed

and make a change. Everyone is busy.Everyone has responsibilities. Your healthneeds to be your main priority. Without it –Good Luck!

that it suffers from the same malady as do somany other stars’ autobiographies: that is, theseemingly incessant need to mention thenames of every single person the writer everworked with.You can well imagine that, in her decades

of performing, author Dionne Warwick

worked with a lot of people. You can alsoimagine how tiresome it gets trying to slogthrough pages and pages of shout-outs andbrief anecdotes. Warwick then goes furtherby acknowledging childhood friends, thelikes of whom few readers will know or careabout. Yes, there are some amusing stories inthis book but finding them is a dual lesson inarchaeology and spelunking.I think, if you’re a major, dyed-in-the-

wool, long-time fan of Dionne Warwick, youmight want to peek at “My Life, As I See It”.For the rest of us, though, just “Walk OnBy”.

swell by about 50 percent annually inpast years to about 2,000 now, a pace itexpects to sustain in coming years. Itsnew Menlo Park location can houseabout 3,600 people, executives said.Facebook leased the campus -- the for-

mer headquarters of Sun Microsystemswhich Oracle Corp took over in 2010 --and will begin moving in June or July.The site, a cluster of nine blockish build-ings and wide, open spaces wedgedbetween the freeway and the SanFrancisco Bay, is known locally as "SunQuentin" for what insiders say is a pass-ing resemblance to the state prison 50miles north.John Tenanes, Facebook's director of

global real estate, offered a more metro-politan analogy for the company's newhome at a briefing with reporters atMenlo Park City Hall on Tuesday, notingthat the various parts of the campus were

connected by a courtyard."That's how we plan to look at this,

like an urban street, or an urban setting.We think this is going to be kind of theglue that holds the buildings and peopletogether," he said.Speaking to reporters after the brief-

ing, Tenanes said the new campus willprovide plenty of important amenities,including a fitness center, a basketballcourt, an auditorium and two cafes.Facebook's move was announced the

same day that Web arch-foe Google saidit had leased a Frank Gehry-designedoffice building a stone's throw from thesun-speckled beaches of Santa Monica,near Los Angeles.Google leased the iconic former head-

quarters of the Chiat/Day advertisingagency -- whose giant binoculars-shapedfacade is a fixture of travel guide books -- in Venice, California, to house part ofits own envisioned expansion, with 6,000people set to join the company's payrollthis year.

Competition for talent is heating up inthe tech industry, as Facebook andGoogle try to attract prized engineers andproduct managers with stock options andperks including free meals.Facebook said it has leased the former

Sun headquarters for 15 years, with anoption to buy the property in five years.Facebook also purchased a 22-acre tractof land, formerly owned by GeneralMotors, adjacent to its new campus, pro-viding further room for future growth.Facebook, which some expect to go

public by 2012, would not disclose finan-cial terms of any of the real estate trans-actions. Finance chief David Ebersmansaid the company did not receive any taxbreaks as part of its plan to relocate toMenlo Park.Facebook is renovating the interior of

one of the buildings on the new campus,which can accommodate about 500employees, and plans to move some staffinto the building in mid-June.

Probe clears Toyota electronics ofunintended acceleration suspicion

REUTERS NEWS SERVICEA government probe cleared Toyota

Motor Corp's electronics of causingunintended acceleration, a big victoryfor the world's top automaker as itseeks to recover from the hit it tookover runaway vehicle accidents.The findings vindicated Toyota's

position that it had identified and fixedthe only known safety problems withpopular vehicles like the Camry byfocusing on mechanical issues withaccelerator pedals and the risk thatfloormats could trap the pedal in theopen position."There is no electronic-based cause

for unintended high-speed accelerationin Toyotas," U.S. TransportationSecretary Ray LaHood said in a state-ment on Tuesday.Toyota's U.S.-traded shares closed 4

percent higher, buoyed by the govern-ment findings and the automaker'ssmaller than expected dip in quarterlyearnings and higher sales forecast.The probe by National Highway

Traffic Safety Administration andNASA engineers followed questions bysome safety advocates and lawmakersabout whether software-driven throttlesand flaws with electronic control sys-tems had also played a role in unintend-

ed acceleration complaints.Investigators concluded that most

reports of runaway acceleration couldbe explained by driver error."What mostly likely happened was

pedal misapplication. The driverstepped on the gas instead of the brake,or in addition to the brake," said RonaldMedford, NHTSA's deputy administra-tor.Steve St. Angelo, a Toyota executive

tasked with shoring up quality after lastyear's recalls, said the automaker hopedthe study would "put to rest unsupport-ed speculation" about the safety ofToyota's electronics."We believe this rigorous scientific

analysis by some of America's foremostengineers should further reinforce con-fidence in the safety of Toyota andLexus vehicles," he said in a statement.LaHood, who had touched off a

panic a year ago by urging Toyota own-ers with concerns to stop driving them,offered a blanket endorsement onTuesday."We feel Toyota vehicles are safe to

drive," LaHood said, adding that herecommended to his daughter that shebuy a Sienna minivan after she soughthis opinion.Although Toyota has cleared a major

hurdle in its ongoing safety saga, ana-lysts cautioned that it would still strug-gle to win back American consumerswho have defected from the brand andits luxury counterpart Lexus.Toyota lost ground in the U.S. mar-

ket in 2010, its market share fell from17 percent at the end of 2009 to justover 15 percent in December."This is certainly going to help

Toyota, but it doesn't change the factthat they let these other issues through,"said TrueCar.com analyst Jesse Toprak."They're still going to face difficultiesto bring people back to Toyota."Toyota has recalled nearly 16 million

vehicles globally since September 2009when it took the first in a series ofmeasures to fix problems with stickyaccelerator pedals and potentially dan-gerous floormats.The massive recalls in 2009 and

2010 rocked Toyota to its foundationsand saw President Akio Toyoda come toWashington a year ago to tell U.S. law-makers he was "deeply sorry."The automaker has also paid nearly

$50 million in penalties to the UnitedStates over the timeliness of its recalls,including the floor mat and "stickypedal" cases.
