Marborg’s big momentBY JOSHUA MOLINA

DAILY SOUND EDITORFor Allied Waste Services, today

could very well be the beginning ofthe end for the company on the SouthCoast.And likewise, today could also be the

start of a new era, a historic moment forthe locally owned Marborg Industries.The city of Goleta and the County

of Santa Barbara, in separate meet-ings about 10 miles apart, are expect-ed to drop Allied from picking uptrash and recycling on the SouthCoast. The company has held thecontracts since 1974.Marborg, led by company presi-

dent Mario Borgatello, stands on thebrink of winning two major battles inthe region’s trash wars.

More than $6 million in contractsannually, up to 20 jobs, and the futureof solid waste on the South Coast areat stake.“It all could be attributed to Mario

S. Borgatello, my father, whoinstilled a work ethic in us,” MarioBorgatello said. “That is all he had togive me in life is a work ethic. Wehave embraced that work ethic. It isnot all been about the almighty dollarbill.”The county board of supervisors is

expected to vote on the contract forthe Eastern Goleta Valley in the after-noon. The city of Goleta is scheduledto vote on a separate contract in theevening.Supervisor Janet Wolf will not be

Nectarine Park sits in the most dense-ly populated area of Goleta.More than 120 kids wait for the school

bus there every week.Old Town Goleta’s first park is also

the city’s smallest at one-tenth of anacre.The city of Goleta has major plans to

dramatically overhaul the park as part ofa broader plan to make over HollisterAvenue and provide better services to theresidents in the area.Old Town Goleta features a wide array

of locally owned shops, from 99 centstores, to corner markets to small neigh-borhood restaurants.The area, however, lacks park space

for the neighborhoods. It has been along-time goal of activists and city coun-cil members to create more parks andplaygrounds for the thousands of peoplewho live in the area.Nestled a block away from Hollister

on Nectarine Avenue, the park contains aswing set and a play structure thatincludes a spiral slide, a straight slide,and monkey bars.The park’s convenience—literally

next door for some residents—makes it apopular hangout for locals with children.

Maria Lopez comes by about twice aweek with her nephews and she says hersister comes in even more often. “A lot of people come by with their

babies,” Lopez said.They like the convenience but a few

say that for such a frequented place, itcould use a few improvements.Yairet Chavez enjoys coming by

when the weather’s good because it’sclose. The park, she said, lacks some-thing.

“It could be better, more toys, gamesand stuff,” Chavez said.The city is hoping to do just that.The current play set replaced an older

one and included new safety paddingalong the ground. The city also added a

shelter and bench in front for the groupsof children that wait for the school buseach morning.Claudia Dato, a management analyst

for Goleta Redevelopment andNeighborhood Services, said the cityplans on putting in more fencing, a tricy-cle path, replacement benches, safetypadding for the swing set, and landscap-ing.“We’re excited to be putting in some

more improvements and making thepark even nicer,” Dato said. “With theexception of the play structure itself andthe safety surface, it’s pretty much a dirtlot.”Funding for the previous improve-

ments came from RedevelopmentAgency Funds. The play equipment cost $30,000 and

the bus stop benches and shelters cost$20,000. The new renovations are esti-mated to cost $60,000 though the projectisn’t going out to bid until the end ofApril. The funding comes from federalgrants.

Dato said the city hopes for construc-tion to start in May and finish in Junebefore school gets out.Goleta City Council member Roger

Aceves said the park is in a much neededlocation given the lack of recreationalspace relative to the population density.Renovations on Old Town Goleta havebeen a long time goal of the Goleta CityCouncil. Aceves said before incorporation, the

county had no plans for park areas in OldTown. The council has since put in improve-

ments to existing parks and created thelarger Armitos Park located off ofKellogg Avenue.Aceves added that it’s part of a

greater push to create more park space inGoleta.“There should be additional park

space in Old Town,” Aceves said. “Weshould also be looking at additional areaswithin the city...to acquire additionalland to be able to have locations for ourcitizens to be able to use it.”

The city of Goleta has major plans to dramatically overhaul Nectarine Park as part of a broad-er plan to make over Hollister Avenue and provide better services to the residents in the area.

The power of the PriusBY NICK C. TONKIN

DAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENTThe sky may be dreary for the start of

the Roger Horton Prius HypermileageChallenge, but the 23 participants areanything but as they sip coffee and havetheir small continental breakfast at theToyota of Santa Barbara lot.The Challenge is put on by the Fund

for Santa Barbara and each participant’s$50 donation goes to benefit theClean/Green Energy Fund which helpsnonprofit organizations with seed moneyfor projects to improve their energy effi-ciency.The event is named for former Santa

Barbara City Council member RogerHorton who pushed for energy efficiencypolicies such as solar panels on historiclandmarks and fuel efficient public vehi-cles.“We must learn to use energy more

efficiently, effectively, and also in newcreative ways,” Horton said. “And that’swhat this really is about.”New owners Florence Michel and

Dale Charpentier are among the partici-pants hoping to improve the mileage ontheir car. They’ve had their Prius for ascant two weeks, but they’re looking for-ward to their trip. That hadn’t planned tobuy a Prius the day they were lookingand their salesman seemed understand-ing when they told him. By the end of theday, they’d traded in their Subaru anddrove off with a Prius.“He was so soft he sold us,” Michel

laughed.Norma Davenport is among the partic-

ipants hoping to learn a little more abouthow to improve the fuel mileage on hercar. Davenport said she and her husband

Gary have already experienced financialbenefits from their 2002 purchase. As areal estate appraiser, Davenport’s hus-band averaged about $350 in gas moneyper month. After buying their Prius, thenumber dropped to $112.“It was paying for itself as we used it,”

Davenport said.That’s what event organizer Don

Bushnell hopes everyone will get out ofthe Challenge. Bushnell said the averageuser gets 45 miles per gallon, but hebelieves with enough care and publicawareness, that number could go as highas 50 miles per gallon.“We think we’ll be able to improve

gas mileage by at least ten percent,”Bushnell said.Toyota of Santa Barbara Sales

Manager David Zuniga gives the driversa primer on how to get the best mileageout of their Prius. Most of the tricks arethe same for a normal car. Good tire pres-sure, avoid stop and starting, and don’tput the pedal to the metal. Coasting,moving the foot off of the accelerator butnot hitting the brake, is important in aPrius because it engages “regenerativebraking” which helps charge the battery.On long drives, using the cruise controlto maintain a steady speed also improvesthings.After a lengthy question and answer

session covering jumpstarting the car,which gear to use when going downhill,

and what “B” stands for on the B-gear(Brake).Of the 23 cars, the drivers of seven are

doing Saturday’s trip to Buellton. Theother sixteen have opted for the twoweek around-the-town challenge. Atstake are three trophies, each with a cardsaying, “Blatantly Recycled.” First andThird are ambiguous enough with sculp-tures of men with stoic faces standingwith their arms folded. The posed tennisracket of Second is a bit more obvious. A technician gives Charpentier a

primer on his display and then he,Michel, and their little Bichon, Gi Gi, areheaded to the 101 North.Charpentier merges with traffic and

per the instructions, engages the cruisecontrol when he hits 64 miles per hour.It’s not long before his efficiency indica-tor shoots up to 41 miles per gallon. Aftergetting the car into a steady pace themileage climbs up to 47.Charpentier holds steady there until he

reaches the tunnel when the road beginsa steady incline that brings him down to46 miles per gallon. He exits at Avenueof the Flags with a final average of 46.3miles per gallon.The drivers meet at Pea Soup

Andersen’s and compare scores. Firstplace goes to Mary Anne Foley whomanages an impressive 55.2 miles pergallon. Foley’s had her 2005 Prius for alittle over three months after buying it offher daughter.“My daughter will wonder what I’m

up to and I’ll say, ‘I won a trophy!’”Foley said.

The California man accused of abducting 11-year-old JayceeDugard in 1991 and holding her captive for 18 years will pleadguilty this week, a lawyer for his wife and co-defendant said onMonday.Phillip Garrido, 59, has agreed to plead guilty under a deal

with prosecutors that will avoid a trial but likely send him toprison for life, attorney Steve Tapson, who represents NancyGarrido, told Reuters in a telephone interview."He wants to not put Jaycee through a trial and he wants to

help Nancy and he's already confessed to it anyway," Tapsonsaid.Tapson said Nancy Garrido, 55, was still set to stand trial

despite his efforts to negotiate a plea deal that would spare hera life prison term.

Beach Grill to reopenAFTER CLOSING last

December, the Beach Grill atPadaro at 3765 Santa Claus

Lane in Carpinteria is set to reopentoward the end of April. Renovations

are currently under-way. In January Iposted a rumor thatthe founders of theHabit Burger Grill,Brent Reichard,with his brotherBruce Reichard,might replace BeachGrill with “HookBurger Bistro,” theirnew conceptdesigned to tap intothe growing demandfor more upscale

burgers. Sources tell me that the SantaClaus Lane eatery is indeed owned bythe Reichards but that the name willremain “Beach Grill at Padaro.”

WAYNE KJAR CAKES: I recentlyfound out about a new bakery namedWayne Kjar Cakes that opened 5months ago at 2018 Cliff Drive on theMesa. It is run by Wayne Kjar who isthe former owner of Henning’s CakeBoutique and is the son of the famousSanta Barbara cake baker, HenningKjar. This Saturday, April 9th, WayneKjar Cakes will be giving out free sam-ples and offering discounts on purchas-es. Hours are Monday - Friday 10am to6pm and Saturday 10am to 4pm. Formore information call 845-5519 or visitwaynekjar.com.

ZIA CAFE CLOSES: Though the

owner and the Indy might turn my bodyinto Swiss cheese for saying this, I amgoing to officially declare Zia Cafe at532 State St closed. This is because Ziafailed my 5-point restaurant mortalitytest:1. Is the phone number disconnected?

Check.2. Is a “for lease” sign on the build-

ing? Check.3. Did someone post an inquiry on

Edhat.com asking “What’s Up with(insert restaurant name here)?” Check.4. Do the place settings, chairs and

miscellaneous stuff seem to be accumu-lating dust? Check.5. Are the place settings, chairs and

miscellaneous stuff in the exact sameposition as they were many months ear-lier? Check.

TACOS BY THE OUNCE: If this isnot the first time you have read this col-umn then you know I like tacos. On atypical day I will have two tacos forlunch. Over time I found that local-onlyrestaurant tacos (without rice & beans)cost around $5 – $8 for a pair of aver-age-sized tacos, not including taxes.When the price drops below $5 for two,tacos at local-only restaurants typicallystart getting much smaller. So eventhough the taco costs less, it also weighsless, meaning the price-per-ounce tendsto be the same as more expensive places.

The other day I stumbled across alocal-only restaurant that seems to havean extraordinary price-per-ounce ratio.Jerry’s Pollofino at 6831 Hollister Avenext to Kmart in Goleta sells a hugetaco for $3.70. It easily weighs twice asmuch as an average-sized taco, perhapsmore. It comes with two soft corn tor-tillas and even includes guacamolewhich typically costs extra at otherrestaurants. $3.70 for the equivalent of atwo-taco lunch is an amazing deal for alocal-only restaurant.

HOLDREN’S SPECIAL: This justin from Holdren’s Steaks & Seafood at512 State St:“Hey John, Just wanted to let you

Anyone who drives the 101freeway through Santa BarbaraCounty knows that the pot-holes there are more aptlydescribed as cauldron-craters.Parts of the road appear tohave been barraged by mortarshells. The surface of the 101is so badly disintegrated thatloose pieces of asphalt, someas large as golf balls, arethrown up with sling-shot likevelocity by the speeding tiresof cars and trucks. These pro-jectiles indiscriminately strike anythingin their path. Motorists have suffereddings, dents, cracked windshields, andbent tire rims from driving California’sdilapidated highways. Why do California’s main thorough-

fares resemble third-world ox-carttrails? How much of your pay check is

appropriated for taxes, 15%, 20%,more? How much are your annualproperty taxes? How much sales tax,utility tax, gasoline tax, room tax, fees,and special assessments are you paying?The total is probably a third to nearlyhalf of your income.Our highways are in disrepair not

because there is a lack of funds to main-tain them, but because funds are beingmisallocated. Over the past decade, theState of California’s spending hasincreased well in excess of inflation andpopulation growth. Increasingly, thatspending has been on governmentitself—on public employees who enjoypay and retirement benefits significantlymore generous than an equitably bal-anced market mechanism would allow.So, as motorists pay a big deductible

to replace smashed windshields or bentwheels, consider it another tax going tosupport some public servant who willretire 10 years younger than most peo-ple can retire, and with a pension and

health insurance most peoplecan only dream of having.This misallocation of tax

money is the result of thealliance between publicemployee unions and self-serving politicians grubbingfor votes and campaign funds.Nevertheless, some people areuncomfortable with recentmoves to weaken publicemployee unions. Ultimatelythe argument against thosemoves assumes that unions are

good and employers are not; that with-out unions employers will abuse andexploit workers. And, yes, history hasshown that some of them will.However, there is nothing inherent in

organized labor that precludes it fromalso being abusive and exploitive. Theinsatiable, unreasonable, demands of theUAW have almost destroyed theAmerican car industry. And, certainly,public employee unions have sunk to asimilar nadir of selfish greed that isbankrupting governments across thenation.Not only is this greed draining our

public treasuries, but it can also threatensound public policy and safety. Thanksto their powerful union, California’sprison guards are among the highestpaid public employees in the state.Nevertheless, some of them augmenttheir incomes by smuggling in and sell-ing cellphones to inmates—a corruptionthat has increased with alarming fre-quency. Current proposed legislation aimed at

preventing prison inmates from acquir-ing cell phones, with which they haveperpetrated various villainies outside theprison walls, is being thwarted by oneof the lard laden requirements of thecorrections officers union agreement.Prison guards are paid for “walk time”,the time it takes them to go from their

cars to their posts. Having them passthrough metal detectors, as the legisla-tion proposed, would increase the walktime—for which there are insufficientfunds in the plundered state treasury.Neither unions nor employers are

always good or always bad. They arecenters of self interest; each with selfishgoals that left unrestrained will threateneach center as well as the general wel-fare. They must be kept in balance. But, in

a nation where ideology is replacingrationality, objective reasoning and,thus, balance are forfeit. Depending onwhich politics one worships, acceptedabsolutes dictate certain conclusions,such as unions or employers are eitheralways good or always bad. The grid-lock in Congress, in state legislatures,and in local councils, results from theideological gridlock in peoples’ brains. Meanwhile, our deteriorating infra-

structures and education systems are theresult of our tax money going to benefitthe few at the expense of the many. Theasphalt crumbles and the potholes getdeeper so that public employees canretire at age 55 with full or near full payand health care for life. In our publicschools, class sizes grow larger, instruc-tion is diluted, music and sports pro-grams are curtailed so that governmentand academic bureaucrats can continueto get high six figure salaries—and socops, firemen, and prison guards canretire at age 50 with full pay then takeanother well paid government job some-where.It’s your tax money. Is this how you

want it spent? If not, carefully considerthe balance between labor and employerin the public sector.

“The soul, like the body,accepts by practice whateverhabit one wishes it to con-tact.” — Socrates

Habits...we all have them.Repetitive thoughts andactions, some subconscious,rule most of our waking hours. Whether it's reading a

morning newspaper, drinkingyour first cup of coffee withthat familiar bran muffin,watching a favorite TV offering, drivingin the fast lane, humming an old famil-iar song; most personal habits are rela-tively benign and harmless to our wellbeing. In a strange way they bring uscomfort; some sort of consistent nor-mality in a crazy, ever changing world.

And then there are addic-tions; habits on steroids. Manyclaim benefits from theiraddiction to exercise (endor-phin rush and all that stressreduction). For others addictedto life-sapping drugs or otherself-destructive behaviors, itcan become a matter of lifeand death. Those subjects put aside,

there is one wonderful habit ofremembrance that I believe all

humans could benefit from.This habit should not only be nur-

tured in our hearts, but I dare say, culti-vated into a healthy indulgence. Should we not all remind ourselves

every day to appreciate this life? Yes,problems can temporarily make you

miserable. (Optimum word: temporari-ly). But is there not an inherent sweet-ness to this existence which is inde-pendent of our woes?Starting the habit of appreciation

doesn't cost a penny and it has tremen-dous benefits to our well-being. A ful-filled heart can make for a wonderfulexistence. It can reveal so many layersof joy that we might otherwise miss.So if you care to, this morning, feel

free to start a wonderful new habit.(Perhaps many of you already have)Spoil yourself again and again... freelyexpress gratitude for this incredible giftof life that we all are so fortunate toreceive every moment.

Nurturing a healthy habit

President Barack Obama declared him-self a candidate for re-election in 2012 onMonday, jumping ahead of a slow-startingRepublican field and hoping an economicrecovery will boost his case for a new term.Obama's announcement, made

through an email and video sent to sup-porters, set in motion a plan to tap donorsand raise as much as $1 billion, which

would shatter the $750 million campaignfinance record he set in 2008.Five months after his Democrats were

routed by Republicans in November congres-sional elections, Obama looks in fairly goodshape for re-election when paired against anyof a group of potential Republican chal-lengers. It is early yet. The economic recov-ery has picked up pace in recent weeks but

could be slowed by rising gasoline prices orany number of unpredictable events in thenext 18 months, such as an unexpectedexpansion of the Libya conflict.The stubbornly high jobless rate was

the leading factor in Republican victorieslast November and Americans weigh thestate of their pocketbooks far more thananything else when they vote.

EVENTS UNLIMITED: A newcommissary/commercial kitchen “EventsUnlimited” has opened at 205 SantaBarbara St (966-4818), right across fromMetropulos deli. I hear that several busi-nesses share the space including WildCutures (wildcultures.com) who makeskombucha tea infused with locallygrown organic fruits and sells them bythe bottle and Vegan Mario (vegan-mario.com) who serves vegan/raw foodnoon-2:30pm. Here is a message Ireceived about Events Unlimited:“Hey there John, you should come and

check out our commissary /commercialkitchen– we are doing some really specialthings on a daily basis….Our raw foodkitchen is setup (complete with Ahlem’sionizing machine for its water)– you haveto try Mario’s RawlFredo sauce because

it is really fantastic! Our 20′ communallunch-time table (serving a pasta of theday and salad) is almost finished-desper-ately looking for picnic benches. Adam’sKombucha fermenting room is over thetop and there’s kombucha “on-tap”…Michael’s pasta machine is kicking outbeautiful pasta in all the shapes and sizesone would expect and its really goodpasta that totally behaves when beingcooked (no clumps, break-away pieces,gummy results… Nada!) The chocolatebars that Mike and Elaine made herefrom “bean to bar” are pretty darn awe-some and we have “Souper Woman”Carol making a variety of jared soups.Ahlem’s ionizing machines can make“fresh” water of varying degrees of PHfor drinking to cleaning purposes.Everyone here is creating something ofinterest, great purpose and good taste- asin both sense of the phrase- its all reallycool. And I shouldn’t forget to mentionour newest team members Scott and Lea-they have a converted 1960′s Air streamtrailer and they peddle organic farearound town at lunchtime. EventsUnlimited will develop some cateringendeavors with them as well… you reallyshould call me and come for a tour…. it’sa bit over the top… in a Santa Barbarasort of way… Very best, James Johnson”

in attendance at the count meeting. Her father,Harry Siegel, died unexpectedly Saturdaynight at the age of 89.She has requested that the board hear and

discuss the issue today, but hold off until nextweek before making a final vote. The EasternGoleta Valley is partially in her district and shewould like to review the tape and cast a voteon the proposal.In perhaps a last stand, Allied plans to hold

a press conference at 11 a.m. Tuesday morningto explain how its proposals in Goleta and theCounty are better than Marborg’s.In what appears to be too little too late,

Allied has been on a relentless press since lastJune to rebrand its image and build favor withelected officials making decisions.Marborg has a long history of professional

relationships with decision-makers and givinggenerously to nonprofit organizations, schoolsand to politicians during election season. Thecompany’s $15 million recycling facility onQuarantina Street has also helped local agen-cies meet state-mandated trash diversion goals.“It’s very disappointing,” said Stephen

MacIntosh, general manager of Allied WasteServices. “Mario has developed very, verystrong relationships that he has been workingon the last 10 to 15 years. He has given a lot ofmoney to elected officials. He has given a lotof money to community groups. He has pro-vided free services to events. He has given alot away over the years. It’s very hard to catchup.”The county of Santa Barbara issued a

request for proposals for the Eastern GoletaValley contract. County staff recommendedthat Marborg get the contract over Allied,which has provided the service for nearly fourdecades.In Goleta, the City Council last year decid-

ed to drop Allied and negotiate a new contractwith Marborg. Allied held that contract since1973.Bad blood exists between the two compa-

nies.MacIntosh last June left a job as the city of

Santa Barbara’s environmental services spe-cialist to become general manager of Allied.As a city employee, MacIntosh worked

closely with Marborg on trash pickup and

recycling, overseeing the company’s trash con-tract with the city.Borgatello was stunned that MacIntosh

jumped ship.Since June, MacIntosh has attempted to

challenge Marborg at its own game.Allied has given tens-of-thousands of dol-

lars in recent months to community groups.The company has purchased compressed natu-ral gas trucks attempted to dramaticallyimprove its customer service.The company also believes that its propos-

als to haul trash are less expensive and a bettervalue for the taxpayers than Marborg’s.“Stephen (MacIntosh) is a real innovative

guy,” said Brian Robinson, principal of TerrainConsulting, who is working with Allied.“He is kind of the future of solid waste man-

agement. Had he a little more time to be part ofthe Allied team they would have been able todeliver some realistic and significant programsfor diversion.”Borgatello said that the county and Goleta

both recognize that Marborg has being doingthe right thing for the community for a longtime, unlike Allied, which recently stepped upits environmental programs.“We have done everything we possibly can

not only the last six months, or the last sixyears or in the last six decades,” Borgatellosaid. “What else can we do?We were very proactive in providing solu-

tions to our customers. The true test is whathas your hauler doing for you in the past?”Borgatello said he is pleased that the county

and Goleta staff members appreciate theBorgatellos’ long history in the area.“We are not just committing to things now

that it is contract time,” Borgatello said. “Wemake commitments. We follow through onthem.”If Allied loses both contracts today, the

company would only have half the city ofSanta Barbara. That contract is up in 2013.“We plan on being here for the long haul,”

MacIntosh said. “We don’t intend to lose thecity of Santa Barbara.”Maybe not. But for now, Allied stands on

the verge of losing two other major contracts.“I feel good about the role we play in the

community and about the long-term solidwaste management plan,” Borgatello said.“We are local business. We don’t exportmoney out of town.”
