The council voted 6-1 to deny an appeal by a landscape architect and the owners of a popular RV park to block the changes. The city expects to start construction to widen the free- way in that area beginning June 1 The proposed changes will reduce the landscaping in the median, enclose part of a drainage ditch in concrete, and cut the length of a sound wall. The changes would also shorten the width of the median from 10 feet to between 6 and 3.25 feet in some locations. John and Helen Free, owners of Sunrise RV Park, 516 South Salinas Street, claimed the changes could do irreparable harm to the park, which borders Highway 101. “This project has not had adequate environmental review,” said the Park’s attorney Susan Petrovich at Tuesday’s council meeting. “ Petrovich said the changes to the area are an unconstitutional taking of property.

TAKING BACK THE STREETSCity leaders debate methods to stop transients
BY JOSHUA MOLINADAILY SOUND EDITOR
Several Santa Barbara City Councilmembers and local residents on Tuesdaycalled for the city to hire more policeofficers to help combat the illegal behav-ior by so-called “transients” downtown.Councilmen Frank Hotchkiss and
Randy Rowse want the city’s policedepartment to enforce existing laws on thebooks that regulate aggressive panhan-
dling, loitering, insults of pedestrians, andother unruly behavior in public places“Public Safety is our No. 1 priority
and Santa Barbara just isn’t that safe any-more,” said political activist Jim Westby.“We need more cops on the streets withthe direction to enforce our laws. We alsoneed to give them the resources.”Westby said that because of “club
night” on State Street, the area turns intoa “battle zone” at 2 a.m.
“We have gang attacks and stabbingsand people high on drugs committingcrimes,” Westby said.Homelessness and aggressive panhan-
dling have emerged as hot-button politi-cal issues in recent months as a moreconservative city council has assumedpower.Rowse, owner of The Paradise Café,
and Hotchkiss, a Realtor for Sotheby’s,
City Council members are asking for increased police force as a way to battle State Street’s transient problem.DAILY SOUND / Victor Maccharoli

City to run own electionBY NICK C. TONKIN
DAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENTThe city of Santa Barbara plans to run
its own election for the third time thisNovember.The Santa Barbara City Council is set
to approve a vote-by-mail election andpurchase an electronic signature verifica-tion system at today’s meeting.In the past, the city’s elections were
handled by the county, but rising costsprompted the city to start managing itsown elections in 2007. The city used a traditional poll-and-
vote-by-mail election in 2007. But in2009, a switch to a vote-by-mail and alimited number of polling spots onElection Day, saw higher turnouts cou-pled with lower costs. The city is nowconsidering making vote-by-mail the sta-tus quo.The 2007 election’s final cost totaled
$280,000 and 37 percent of registeredvoters turned out. But the 2009 vote-by-mail cost $240,000 and almost half of allregistered voters sent in their ballots.Given the reduced costs of running a
vote-by-mail election and higher turnout,staff is advocating that the city shouldkeep the system.A traditional poll election is estimated
to cost $350,000 this year. A vote-by-mail election will come in around$300,000. Staff is also recommending that the
city spend $12,000 in reserve funds tobuy a “Vote Remote Electronic System.”The system will perform several sort-
ing and verifying tasks that will lessenthe number of staff required to countvotes.According to the staff report, process-
ing 5,000 ballots takes 12 city staff mem-bers 6.5 hours. With 23,720 ballots castin the last election, those numbers canadd up. A vote remote system is estimat-ed to change that to four staff in twohours.The system will be able to scan signa-
tures, sort envelopes, and call up votercard registration from a data base, allactivities that would have to be donemanually.If the council approves the recom-
mendations, the city will make profes-sional service arrangements to beapproved by the council in May. Therewill also be additional resolutions inmid-June when the council calls for theelection.Incumbents Dale Francisco, Michael
Self, and Randy Rowse all face expiredterms.Both Self and Francisco are expected
to seek reelection. Rowse, appointed by the council to fill
Das Williams’ seat, has not announcedplans to seek re-election but has not ruledit out either. Candidates would not need to file
until mid-August.To date only two challengers have
announced intentions to file with theClerk’s Office, planning commissionerDeborah Schwartz and journalist CathyMurillo. Former city council member Iya
Falcone is considering another run.Falcone has been active in several candi-date events but has not formally stated inpublic that she plans to run again.
County begins redistricting processSanta Barbara county residents will
soon have a chance to sound off on theplanned redistricting of the county’ssupervisorial districts.Redistricting is required after each
census to balance the population amongthe districts, according to the county.The county has launched a new web

das, links to the video recordings of thepublic meetings and any complete redis-tricting plans that may be submitted bythe public, to the Web site.Online maps and 2010 Census data for
Santa Barbara County will allow thepublic to develop and submit redistrict-ing plans to the County for consideration.“Our goal is to educate and empower
County residents to become involved inthis redistricting process,” said CountyExecutive Officer Chandra Wallar, in aprepared statement.“The website is user friendly, enabling

With its beaches and bright weatherbringing in tourists and businesses, it’snot a stretch to say Santa Barbara thriveson sunshine.But the Community Environmental
Council is looking to take it a step furtherand make a city that is literally poweredby the sun. The group held a press conference at
solar powered home to announce a newprogram called “Solarize Santa Barbara”which aims to increase the use of solarpower in homes.The program works by contracting
with two companies, REC Solar, and SunPacific Solar Electric, to group-purchasesolar energy systems for homes in thesouth county area. Megan Birney, a renewable energy
specialist with the Council, said a com-mon problem with getting people toinstall solar is few people know where tobegin and what things to look at. To com-bat that, the Council vetted solar installa-tion companies for pricing, service, andquality, negotiated a below market costfor installations, and offers advice onutility plans to get the most financial
benefits from a new array.“We’re taking the hard questions out
and letting people focus on the importantthing,” Birney said. “Making the deci-sion if they want to go solar or not.”From May 1 through July 31, south
county residents can apply for the pro-gram, have their home assessed for itsability to have the installation, and pur-chase a system at a discounted rate and afee of 15 cents per watt installed thatgoes to support the Council.“We’re super-pumped to have been
chosen by the CEC,” Solar Pacific salesmanager Dan Knapp said.Knapp said the company’s excited to
be partnering with the Council, but hebelieves the program will help not justSolar Pacific and REC, but the entiresolar industry in Santa Barbara.Heightened visibility of solar energy sys-tems attracts people who might other-wise be apprehensive. “When your neighbor has solar, it’s a
lot easier for you to go solar,” Knapp
Tornadoes and flooding, which killed at least 10 people inArkansas this week, threatened more destruction in the mid-Southand Ohio Valley region Tuesday night into Wednesday, forecasterssaid.As of 9 p.m. local time Tuesday, 24 tornadoes had been report-
ed, with extensive damage in Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas,according to AccuWeather.comAn 18-wheel tractor trailer was blown off the road in Coy, Ark.,
a rural area about 28 miles east of Little Rock, and a person wastrapped inside, local officials reported.Storm damage also was reported at Arkansas Tech University
in Russellville, Ark., in the western part of the state."It's a very dangerous day," said AccuWeather.com senior mete-
orologist Henry Margusity, quoted on the AccuWeather web site."It's the kind of day where tornadoes could cause massive destruc-tion."

LA Zoo’s Lionel dies at 23Lionel, one of two lions at the Los Angeles Zoo for years, has
died at the advanced age of 23, well beyond the life expectancyof lions in the wild and old even by comparison with some coun-terparts in captivity.Long a popular attraction at the zoo, Lionel was euthanized on
Saturday after keepers at the zoo determined that worseninghealth problems had badly diminished his quality of life, the zoosaid in a statement on Tuesday.The male lion had been under close veterinary care for
months due to neurological and urinary problems, the zoo said.While not the oldest lion in captivity, Lionel was considered
to be quite long-lived by natural standards."In the wild, a male lion would be competing against younger
males to defend its territory, so in the wild it wouldn't last 23years," zoo spokesman Jason Jacobs said.Lionel's death leaves the L.A. Zoo with a single lion on dis-
play named Cookie, a 22-year-old female who arrived at the zoowith Lionel in 1997.

brought the issue forward because theybelieve that the proliferation of loiterersand transients downtown harms the qual-ity of life for tourists and locals.“It’s pretty clear that the status quo is
not acceptable,” Rowse said.The debate over more law enforce-
ment downtown comes at a time whenthe city is beginning its annual budgettalks and discussions about whether tohire more law enforcement officers.The controversial topic has also
emerged just as the election season isabout to begin. Councilmembers DaleFrancisco, Michael Self are running forre-election. Rowse’s term is up, but hehas not said publicly that he plans to runagain; he was appointed in Novemberafter Das Williams was elected to thestate Assembly.Francisco said he supports more police
officers downtown to enforce the laws. Hesaid that the city has spent tens-of-mil-lions of dollars over the years trying tohelp people who “genuinely need help.”Francisco said that there are also many
in the community who will take advan-tage of every opportunity they can tobenefit from the taxpayers.“Our police force is stretched too thin
to do the work that needs to be done,”Francisco said.“We have to have a regular police
presence of police who know the peopleon the street, who know the businessowners who know the community whoare there every day who aren’t goingaway.”Francisco said that the mere presence
of officers would deter crime.Most others on the council believe
that heavy law enforcement and ticketingof panhandlers and loiterers is not thebest solution to solve the problem.Many of those ticketed never show up
for court and the tickets rarely deterbehavior.Santa Barbara Deputy Chief Frank
Mannix said he knew of one officer whohad issued more than 800 tickets to thedowntown area.“We are not going to arrest our way
out of this problem,” Mannix said.John Dixon, owner of Tri-County
Produce on Milpas, said the city shouldnot forget about similar problems in theMilpas area.“Those seeking help should obey the
rules that all of society is expected todo,” Dixon said. “Why should a groupnot obey the rules?”The council appears as though it is
leaning toward a plan that combines
increased law enforcement and pro-active solutions, such as city workersdoing more community outreach to stopthe program.“You can arrest, you can arrest, you
can arrest, and it becomes a revolvingdoor,” said councilman Grant House.“Our goal is not to just put more policeout there. Our goal is to solve the prob-lem.”House said that the city needs more
outreach workers, mental health workersand more support from the county toeffectively address the plan.Self said that it’s time for the city to
show some tough love toward those whocause problems in the community.As she often does, she compared the
city’s problems to those that might arisein the home with a family.“You can go into a home and you can
see where a parent has abdicated respon-sibility, and where the kids live on cook-ies and drive the whole neighborhoodcrazy,” Self said.She said with her kids who misbe-
haved she made them rake the yard or dosomething outdoors.The city should consider putting some
of these transients and loiterers to work,she said.“It is good for your soul to do some-
thing productive,” Self said.

said. Second District County SupervisorJanet Wolf praised the initiative, believ-ing it can go a long way towards raisingawareness about the benefits of switch-ing to solar power.“I think what they’re doing is so valu-
able because the community has beensearching for this kind of program,” Wolfsaid.The Council held the press conference
at the West Valerio home of SantaBarbara resident Daniel Emmett.Emmett, who had a 3.8 kilowatt solararray installed in December, offered tes-timonial to the effectiveness of solarpower in Santa Barbara.Emmett, always environmentally con-
scious, had planned on going solar for a
long time but hadn’t found a place to staypermanently. But after living in his cur-rent home for three years, he decided itwas time.He said the installation had been a lit-
tle anti-climatic. When he switched tosolar, the only difference in the house’sfunction happened in the power meter. “I get the gratification of watching the
meter spin backwards and knowing I’mon solar,” Emmett said. “Other than that,nothing’s changed.”Emmett noted that his house is still
hooked up to the city’s power grid fornighttime use, but during the day hishome generates more power than ituses. This power goes back into the grid
and, starting this year, is “banked,”meaning unused hours during the sum-mer can be used later at no cost.
Emmett can also opt to be paid for theextra electricity he house generates,which can run as much as $0.55 an hourduring peak hours. While that may notseem like much in the short term, theinstallation can last long enough to payfor the initial $12,000 investment.There are a lot of numbers to keep
track of and Emmett said that can beintimidating to many. But he feels a pro-gram like “Solarize” can relieve thoseanxieties and get more homes poweredby the sun.“To the extent that people can get a lit-
tle comfort and guidance, it’s going to goa long way,” Emmett said. FYI: To learn more about “Solarize

On Thursday April 21, Ihad the opportunity to sitdown with Chef Kai MuellerChef of the nutritious andbeautiful food served at thenew Alchemy Arts Café. The Café and the Wellness
Center officially openedMarch 1, 2011 were conceivedand built by Emma Narachiwith its holistic bent and alter-native spa treatments andserene environment. Located in downtown Santa
Barbara just footsteps of main retailartery State Street, on the corner ofHaley and Chapala. The Moroccan-style sanctuary offers
restorative treatments that Narachi expe-rienced while traveling throughThailand several years ago.
Chef Mueller whom Emmamet while on her South EastAsia Odyssey began his culi-nary apprenticeship at age 16at a five star hotel inSwitzerland that catered to aninternational audience. Having learned from his
grandmother in Germanywhere he was born the basichealing benefits of fresh foodhe went on to work in Spain,and England and was fortunateenough to work with Anton
Mosimann who specialized in ‘cuisinenatural” and worked in BuckinghamPalace. Chef Kai worked alongside Anton on
the wedding of Prince Charles andCamilla Parker Bowels and luminousdignitaries such as Buckingham Palaceregulars Tony Blair.
Traveling to Thailand to experiencelocal cuisine he continued to work withnotable chefs such as Kamalaya inThailand at his five start retreat. It wasdurign this time abroad that he met Ms.Nerachi who asked him to come toSanta Barbara and run the kitchen andmenu design at the Café that she wantedto build. The father of a new baby boysaid he is loving creating dishes that‘motivate’ rather than dictate!”Chef Kai told me over my zucchiini

New cafe accompanies state of the art wellness center
stimulating for the digestive system.The concept of our food is drawn after the
latest nutritious research, life experience,guidance from previous work places and heal-ing traditions from 1000 of years of SouthEast Asia.”Ms Nerachi and Chef Kai want to reach
people and give them the choice of eating,experiencing something different, eating cleanfood which uplifts your energy level andmakes your emotions flow better. They arenot serving only raw or only cooked vegetar-ian food, they are striving to to implement theentire universe in our healing food philoso-phy. They want the people to think back and
remember how conscious their grandparentsuse to handle food and how simply they useto cook.‘Because all the healthy food movements
we are experiencing now it has become amain stream of cooking organic, being con-cious with waste etc.’Alchemy Arts Cafe wants to pick up the
people where they are and that means thatmany have problems tasting simple ingredi-ents because their taste buds have been irritat-ed over years of consuming MSG flavoredfood.We want to surprise them with fresh and
exiting flavors and give them the chance ofmaking the experience of feeling well afterconsuming our food.“I am not into judging anyone” Said Chef
Mueller , they are not bad people justbecause they dont eat right. It should may bea way of teaching true experiences and learn-ing true experiences.Most of the time people in our society just

Petrovich said.“RVs will to travel through the neigh-
borhoods,” Petrovich said. “Some of therigs are huge and they are extremely dif-ficult to maneuver. You can imagine theimpacts of these rigs lumbering throughthe neighborhoods.”Caltrans officials and representatives
from the Santa Barbara CountyAssociation of Governments said thechanges will make the ramps safer.Caltrans said the off ramp will be
lengthened which allows vehicles moretime to slow before coming to the curve.
There will also be increased signage sothat drivers have ample warning of theexit and its curve. The city also believes the increase in
noise is negligible. The pointed to theoriginal Environmental Impact Reportwhich said a third lane would increasethe noise by 2 dBA(a unit used to meas-ure noise pollution) assuming no mitiga-tion steps were taken. Philip Suding, a landscape architect,
also appealed the decision (Suding is acommissioner on the Historic LandmarksCommission but is appealing as a privateindividual). Suding is upset about thechanges to the median.The original width, he said, needs to
be maintained because it’s part of theHistorical Montecito Parkway. “The median in this location needs to
be 10 feet wide,” Suding said. “What wehave today before us is poor planning.We have a time and space constraint anda less than optimal design.”
Only councilman Grant House votedin favor of the appellants, saying that thelandscaping was critical to the area.
Mayor Helene Schneider hoped for apositive resolution.“I hope Caltrans will work to make
this the best possible project,” she said.
