The city of Santa Barbara’s multimil-lion-dollar employee mortgage homeloan program was a “first-come, first-served” program, where city workerscould receive up to $187,500 of taxpay-er money to buy a home.The city approved all of the loan

administratively, without City Councilreview.The city’s finance director is in charge

of approving the loans, but it is unclear ifany employees were ever denied a tax-payer-funded loan.

“I don’t know how many, if any, weredenied,” said Finance Director RobertSamario, who administers and overseesthe program.The city approved the program in

2002, a year after the City Council loanedPolice Chief Cam Sanchez $500,000 sohe could live in Santa Barbara.Since 2002, the city has made 37 loans

out of the general fund reserves totaling$4.4 million — money that could bespent on public safety, parks, afterschoolprograms, and other community services.The city on Monday released the

City readies for ‘big one’BY NICK C. TONKIN

DAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENTWith Japan still hurting from the

March 11 tsunami, the Santa BarbaraCity Council will hear a report today onthe city’s own readiness for such a tragicevent.Though it seems timely with the

recent earthquake and subsequent tsuna-mi that struck Japan, the report has beenin the making for nearly two years.In August of 2009 the National

Weather Service designated the city“Storm Ready.” To be “Storm Ready,” acommunity must meet a series of guide-lines set by the NWS which include a 24-hour warning system, multiple ways ofreceiving severe weather warnings, and adeveloped hazardous weather plan.Santa Barbara City Fire Chief Andrew

DiMizio said the next step in disasterpreparedness is a “Tsunami Ready” des-ignation. “This is an extension of the work we

did to storm readiness,” DiMizio said.The work includes additional public

education and communication withtsunami warning centers in Alaska andHawaii.DiMizio said the department is in the

process of obtaining signs to indicateareas that are vulnerable to tsunamis andthat show evacuation routes.DiMizio said the areas of the city most

at risk from a tsunami are south of the101. Though it’s possible for a wave gofurther, the ground begins to elevate afterthe 101. Some areas of the city, such asthe Mesa, are protected by coastal cliffs.

Richard Abrams, Emergency Managerfor the County of Santa Barbara, saidvulnerabilities can vary around the coun-ty.South-facing beaches, such as East,

West, and Ledbetter, are less at risk froma tsunami from an earthquake west of theU.S. such as the one in Japan. However,they are at greater risk from southern

earthquakes, such as the one that struckChile last year. Though quakes as far as Chile and

Japan can send tsunamis almost acrossthe ocean, monitoring centers can givethe public ample warning.“Something that happens in Japan

won’t hit us for 8 to 10 hours,” Abrams

Calm waves crash on the beach near Stearns Wharf as the city prepares to hear a report onhow emergency personnel will handle a earthquake or tsunami like the one Japan experiencedon March 11.

Some not solucky ducks“Moby-Duck: The True Story of 28,800 BathToys Lost at Sea and of the Beachcombers,Oceanographers, Environmentalists, andFools, Including the Author, Who Went inSearch of Them” by Donovan Hohn. c.2011,Viking, $27.95 / $35.00 Canada 402 pages,includes notes

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYERTHE BOOKWORM SEZ

Somebody should be ashamed ofthemselves.Whoever it was, they forgot a basic

tenet of kindergarten: if you make amess, you clean it up. But there it is,trash all over the place. Paper bags,plastic sacks, crumpled aluminum,debris you don’t want to think about, allscattered on the ground. Somebody – ora lot of somebodies – missed the trashcan and they ought to be ashamed ofthemselves.But when that somebody is a large

corporation and the mess can’t be easilycontained, what happens? In the newbook “Moby-Duck” by Donovan Hohn,the answer isn’t always clear.One late night in March 2005, while

teacher and “part-time archaeologist ofthe ordinary” Donovan Hohn was grad-ing papers written by his journalism stu-dents, a particular essay caught hisimagination.The student wrote about a ship carry-

ing a load of plastic toys bound forTacoma in 1992. When the vesselencountered a storm, several shippingcontainers fell overboard, spilling28,800 yellow ducks, red beavers,green frogs, and blue turtles into thePacific Ocean. It was believed thatocean currents would eventually carrythe toys north and around the continent

to New Englandbeaches. Intrigued, Hohn

learned that at least oneduck had allegedlybeen spotted in Mainein the years betweenspill and essay. Butwhat about the other28,799 plastic animals? He had to know…Though his wife was

very pregnant withtheir first child, Hohnfigured there was timefor a beachcombingsojourn near Sitka,Alaska, where dozensof the toys had landedyears before. The cur-rent had bestowed lotsof debris upon thecoast, but he hadn’tenough time to pursue plastic: Hohn hadto return to Manhattan for the birth ofhis son. Two years later, the search was back

on when Hohn joined a clean-up groupnear Alaska, where trash was so thick,moss and humus grew atop it. Fromthere he joined a crew exploring theEastern Garbage Patch near Hawaii,looking for tiny bits of poly amid plank-ton. He went to China to see where the

toys originated, came home aboard acargo freighter, then went north to theArctic Circle, all the while wondering:could plastic ducks really make itthrough the Northwest Passage?Worried about global warming, polar

bears, ice melts, and ducks? This book

won’t give you much good news, but itexplains things you may be wondering –if you can just stick with it.Author Donovan Hohn is lighthearted

throughout his book, and his curiosity isinfectious. He gives “Moby-Duck” anadventurous feel, but he tends to get off-track quite often in this tale of a searchfor bathtub toys. Those digressions,though they aren’t out of place, can belengthy. Some readers may find themenlightening; others, like me, may strug-gle in staying focused.Still, I think this is a book that every

politician, plastic-producer, and pollutershould read before taking out thegarbage this week. For them – and foranyone concerned about our environ-ment – missing what’s inside “Moby-Duck” would be a dirty shame.

(Reuters) - M'm! M'm! Salty? A federal judge has allowed alawsuit to go ahead against Campbell Soup Co., the world'slargest soup-maker, over whether its purported “low-sodium”tomato soup really has less sodium.Four New Jersey women had sued the company last year,

contending they were misled into paying more for the “lowsodium” brand. They say it had almost as much sodium asCampbell's regular tomato soup.U.S. District Judge Jerome Simandle on Wednesday denied a

motion to dismiss the case, saying the women could pressclaims under New Jersey's consumer fraud act because reason-able consumers could have found Campbell's labels misleading.The lawsuit, which is seeking class-action status, said

Campbell's “less sodium” claim was a comparison to a collec-tion of the company's regular soups, not the tomato soup, butthat was not clearly labeled.

NEWS IN BRIEFMen ignore navigation system(Reuters) — Men are more likely to ignore directions given by

their satellite navigation systems than women, a survey has found,confirming the old stereotype that men hate asking for directions.While 83 percent of male drivers regularly rebel against their

sat navs, less than three-quarters of women disobey the deviceswhich UK drivers branded as “untrustworthy” and “inaccurate”in the study by insurance retailer Swinton.“A sat nav should aid your own navigational abilities rather

than replace them,” said Steve Chelton, Insurance DevelopmentManager at Swinton, which found drivers were often right tomistrust the global positioning systems.Over one third of drivers said their navigation system had led

them between one and five miles astray, while more than halfsaid directions provided by global positioning systems had trig-gered an argument with a passenger.

Is Bieber headed for rehab?(Reuters) - About 30 percent of Americans believe Justin

Bieber will be in celebrity rehab when he reaches 30, accordingto a new poll released on Monday.A 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair survey showed that only 20 percent

thought the 17-year-old idol would still be playing packed are-nas in 2024, while 18 percent said he'd be married and living qui-etly somewhere.Equally famed for his soulful voice and the casual flick of his

lustrous head of hair, the 17-year-old Canadian singer was thefourth best-selling albums artist in the United States last year,mobbed everywhere by screaming young girls.But the squeaky-clean pop star, the latest in a long line of teen

AWOL LegislatorsDEAR EDITOR: During the last

few months a number of state legislatorsfrom Wisconsin and Indiana wentAWOL in hiding. They were trying toavoid participating in the democraticprocess established by the legislatorsthemselves, and thus hoping to defeatlegislation by boycotting rather thanparticipating in the process.Every single bill that is offered for

possible enactment into law, whether atthe city, county, state or federal level,always has a number of legislators whooppose it. According to rules agreed toby the legislators from both parties, billsare debated and voted on and the will ofthe majority prevails. During passage ofthe recent Health Care Reform Law,members of the minority party in boththe U. S. House and Senate were almostunanimously against passage. Theymade their position very clear by debat-ing and voting, but they did not go intohiding in order to prolong or negate theoutcome. At the end of the proceedingsthe will of the majority prevailed. If the legislators that went AWOL

feel that the legislation which they werefighting against is too onerous or uncon-stitutional, it can always be challengedin either state or federal courts, as hashappened with the recently passedHealth Care Bill. If these AWOL legis-lators are allowed to use a boycott to

obstruct and redefine the legislativeprocess, the precedent will have a verydetrimental effect on society. Should weteach the young generation that whenthings don’t go their way they shouldhide instead of facing the problem?Should we teach coaches that if duringthe game they realize their team isgoing to lose, they can pull their playersfrom the field and hide in the dressingroom in order to avoid the loss?During the process of proposing and

passing legislation at the state level, thejob of the legislators is to represent con-stituents in their district, not just lobby-ists or special interest groups. The billsbeing considered in Wisconsin andIndiana were designed to improve eco-nomic conditions for all constituents inthose states, not a single special interestgroup.Today almost every city, county and

state in the country is having a myriadof financial problems. Policies estab-lished by the Governor and the statelegislature have a profound impact oncity and county governments. State poli-cies can help or hurt local governmentsas they try to deal with financial prob-lems the best way for their particularsituations. Whatever the proposed solu-tions to current problems, there will beno winners in the short term. But if spe-cial interest groups are allowed to blocksolutions designed to deal with the net-work of interlocking financial problems,

then all of us will be the loser in thelong term. The AWOL Wisconsin Senators are

sacrificing the general interest of theentire state in order to protect the nar-row interests of public sector unions.Many may remember the case of the air-traffic controllers during the Reaganadministration. They tried to cripple thecountry but the President called theirbluff and swiftly resolved the problemby replacing all of them. Like PresidentReagan in the case of the country, nogovernor should allow a narrow interestgroup to hold hostage the entire popula-tion of the state.

NEWSSprint blasts AT&T, T-Mobile bid(Reuters) — Sprint Nextel urged regu-

lators to block AT&T Inc's $39 billionbid to buy Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile USA, saying the merger wouldharm consumers.“This transaction is fundamentally

anti-competitive, and you can't fix thatwith merger conditions,” CharlesMcKee, Sprint's vice president of gov-ernment affairs, federal and state regula-tory, told Reuters in a phone interview onMonday.Sprint, the No. 3 U.S. mobile carrier,

already faces tough competition fromindustry leaders AT&T and VerizonWireless, a venture of VerizonCommunications and Vodafone GroupPlc. Combined, AT&T and T-Mobile

USA, the No. 4 U.S. operator, wouldleapfrog Verizon Wireless as the top car-rier.The deal would concentrate 80 per-

cent of U.S. wireless contract customersin just two companies — AT&T/T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless.No. 2 U.S. mobile carrier AT&T, often

criticized for dropped calls and slow con-nection speeds, said the merger wouldspur innovation and economic growth byimproving quality and expanding serviceto 95 percent of the U.S. population.The U.S. Federal Communications

Commission — which aims to extendmobile broadband to virtually allAmericans — and Justice Department areexpected to take at least a year to review

the proposed merger, and impose signifi-cant conditions if they approve the deal.“The U.S. wireless market is intensely

competitive with five or more competi-tors in 18 of the top 20 markets,” AT&Tsaid in a statement on Monday.The Justice Department typically

takes a market-by-market look whenassessing competitiveness in such merg-ers. But Sprint will push for a review ona national basis.“Customers want to use their phones

wherever they go,” McKee said, addingthat Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprintare the only nationwide carriers.Consumer and antitrust groups have

also been critical of AT&T's proposedtransaction.

money to city employees — up to 15 per-cent of the purchase price of a home —would be an effective recruitment andretention tool.But the program now is in a state of

turmoil.The city gave the loans out year after

year without public scrutiny or review.Now, the city is facing a deep finan-

cial crisis. Heading in to the 2011 fiscalyear, the city had nearly depleted itreserves and scrambled to close a $9 mil-lion budget shortfall.Since many of the loans were given

out just before or around the time of themortgage meltdown and economic col-lapse, some of the homes now could beworth less than the amount the employ-ees owe on them.Finance Director Samario said on

Monday that there was no way to tellhow many of the homes purchased par-tially with city money are now upsidedown.Santa Barbara City Councilwoman

Michael Self is outraged over the pro-gram. She wonders why the city is in thebusiness of home loans. She said thisperk for some city employees doesn’tbenefit the taxpayers.

“This program should be suspended,”Self said. “That would have been the pru-dent thing to do.”Self said she wants the matter put on a

City Council agenda for the public toreview the policy. She’d like to figure outa way to get some of the money back andstart replenishing the city’s reserves.

“We need to stop this,” Self said.“Enough!”It appears that Santa Barbara is the

only city in the region that offers a homeloan assistance program. Ventura, SanLuis Obispo, and Santa Barbara Countydo not have mortgage loan assistance

said they made some brownies and asked

us if we liked them. I decided to not par-ticipate because I don’t eat desserts (howcruel!) but Richard did and he remarkedthat the brownies were salty.It turns out that the girls were not

really conducting research to see if peo-ple liked their brownies. In reality, theycreated brownies loaded with way toomuch salt and were conducting researchto see how many people would pretendto like them. They also conductedresearch at nearby Trader Joe’s.

I thought this was an interestingidea and asked them if they would sharetheir results with me which they did.Their research found out that the major-ity of people did tell the truth about theawful-tasting brownies. And of thosethat lied about liking the brownies, menlied more often than women.

Would joy ever be invited into myhouse again? Listen...I'm not here tophilosophize about these things. I'mnot trying to create a projection of

response to a future horrificevent.I'm just asking a simple

question, “Could I ever learnto trust life again?” I mostfervently hope so.I know we all have scars

from this world. The longerwe live and the more we love,the more potential heartbreakcan come our way.My observation is that after

tragedy most of us go on liv-ing, praying for the pain of our loss tosubside and the lightness and sweet-ness of life to return.Our inner compass is eternally

pointing towards happiness, joy, andcontentment.Although this world can definitely

throw us for a loop, the strength thatresides in our inner core... that child-

like heart... is the ultimate force tocalm the swirling waters of turmoil,suffering, and desperation that we canfind ourselves in.That is where trust in life itself is so

important. We all came into this worldempty-handed, naked and totallydependent on those around us.Sustenance and hopefully a measure oflove and care we all received. Timepassed and we established our identity,attachments and responsibilities.But let's not forget that all along the

journey we received the sweetest touchfrom the ultimate power of love.There's a light and a goodness in usthat can never be extinquished.Trust in that.

programs. Even Palo Alto in the Bay Area, one of thestate’s most expensive places to live does not have anemployee mortgage assistance program.Ventura had a mortgage loan program, but dropped

it in 2010, citing the economy as a major factor.Although Santa Barbara has not given a loan out

since 2009, the program is still on the books, and thefinance director could approve a loan at any time.The city still promotes the mortgage loan assis-

tance program as a benefit in its employee handbook.The terms of the loan program called for employ-

ees to come up with 80 percent of the financing ontheir own. They also had to pay 5 percent of their ownmoney. The city loaned the rest – up to 15 percent ofthe purchase price.Employees were only required to pay interest on

the loan for the first five years. The interest ratesranged from .56 to .46 percent.After the fifth year, the loan would be fully amor-

tized over a 30-year period. After year five, employ-ees would be required to make payments based on theinterest and the principal. Even though the loan pay-ments would be amortized over 30 years, the entireloan would be due after 15 years, in what is known asa “balloon payment.”The city also agreed to buy down the interest rates

that the employee qualified for from their mortgagecompany for their first mortgage. The city essentiallybought down the interest rate by as much as twopoints; if the interest rate at the time was 7 percent,the city would buy it down to 5 percent, an addition-al amount in cases as high as $28,000.The city would forgive that loan the longer the

employee stayed working at the city of SantaBarbara. After 5 years of city employment 25 percentof the loan would be forgiven. If the employee staysat the city for 10 years, another 25 percent, for a max-imum of 50 percent, would be forgiven.Fiscal watchdogs have called the program irre-

sponsible.“I think in general public sector employees receive

compensation and benefits that the employees in theprivate sector do not and this program is anotherexample of that,” said Lanny Ebenstein, president ofthe California Center for Public Policy. “At this pointit is something that it isn’t appropriate in the publicsector.”Santa Barbara City Councilman Grant House said

he stands by the program.“It is very helpful for recruiting and retaining qual-

ified employees,” House said.The councilman said the program was “very

thoughtful” and provided a benefit that the city waslooking for.He said that the city must always “assess the risk,”

but that loaning the taxpayer money is the right thingto do.“This is just a relatively small amount of money in

the grand scheme of things,” House said. “The city ofSanta Barbara is a major employer and we look outfor our people.”

said. Both DiMizio and Abrams say the realrisk would come from an offshore quake.There would be very little warning before thetsunami hit.To make matters worse, the Channel Islands

would reflect back some of the surge thatwould otherwise go out to sea.“The big concern for us is a near-shore

earthquake,” DiMizio said. “We wouldn’t havea lot of time to do much there.”A wave of six feet could cause significant

damage to the harbor but it would take a tenfoot wave to threaten more inland areas.Santa Barbara experienced a tsunami wave

of a little over a foot from the Japan earth-quake. DiMizio noted that with tsunamiwaves, it isn’t the height so much as the con-tinued surge of all the water brought in fromoffshore.

“The amount of water all at once is whatreally does it,” DiMizio said.However DiMizio and Abrams also agree

that people shouldn’t get too paranoid about atsunami. Abrams said the local geology does-n’t cause many tsunami-inducing quakes.“You need a lot of things to be aligned,”

Abrams said.It does highlight the need to teach people to

get to higher ground in the event of an earth-quake lasting for more than 45 seconds.DiMizio said that’s what part of the “TsunamiReady” plan is about. “A lot of what we’re trying to do is public

education,” DiMizio said.Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider

said the report had been in the works for awhile, but its arrival at the council is verytimely.“We’re watching the devastation in Japan

and how important it is for people to heedwarnings very carefully,” Schneider said.
