Santa Barbara residents will haveto pay 6 percent more for trash andrecycling pickup beginning July 1,partly because city officials overesti-mated the amount of revenue a newfood scraps program would bring in.

City officials said on Wednesday,however, that the proposed increase inrates is due to several factors, with thecommercial food scraps program justbeing a small part of it.

But the revenue projections wereso far off that Finance Director BobSamario in December went to both of

the city’s haulers, MarBorg Industriesand Allied Waste Services to ask thehaulers to give money back to the cityto make up for the shortfall.

MarBorg gave $240,000 back to thecity; Allied gave $60,000. The haulerswere not legally obligated to give anymoney to city, but did so to help thedepartment balance its solid wastebudget. If the haulers did not giveback, the city would have had to raise

you enter Plow to Porch Organics isby design.

Each available item—chromaticvegetables and fruits with scents thatmatch their heavenly hues; sustain-ably raised meats; or other locally andorganically produced products—islabeled with the farm or local sourcefrom where it came.

But Plow to Porch Organics, 3204State Street, is not meant to replacevisiting a local farmers’ market—rather, according proprietor PamPlesons, it’s more of a complementa-ry enterprise.

“We don’t want to be in competi-tion with the farmers’ market,” saidPlesons. “We’re trying to supplement[the farmers’ market], to make itavailable to people that can’t getdown there. That’s one of the reasons

we’re not open on Saturdays, becausewe don’t want to compete with thefarmers’ market, because that’s theirbig day. We just want to be an avail-able alternative to help people out—and help the local farmers out.”

Plow to Porch Organics, though itsphysical location and delivery serv-

ice, helps ensure that nearly anybodycan take advantage of the local pro-duce and products that they mightotherwise miss out on.

At the very beginning, saysPlesons, pondered starting a localorganic produce delivery service,“mainly because there wasn’t one intown, and this movement had been

growing rapidly up north,” specifical-ly in Seattle, Washington.

Plesons, who is originally fromMassachusetts, recognized the valueof “living in an area where we growyear-round,” and decided that “itwould be really nice for people tohave the convenience to have thingsdelivered to their door.”

Plesons was passionate about sup-porting local farmers, cutting down onthe waste that goes into transportingproduce across the country or interna-tionally, and generally decreasingenergy use/ carbon footprint. But theoptions for participating in a commu-nity supported agriculture program, orCSA, were limited at the time.

“I, myself, had wanted to join aCSA, and at the time I started thebusiness, the biggest CSA in town atthat time had a year waiting list,” sherecalled. “I figured, ‘If there’s a year

rates higher or come up with some other solu-tion to offset the costs.

The city’s revenue projections were off by$600,000. The haulers agreed to give half back.

Samario told The Daily Sound onWednesday that it is unclear what role the foodscraps program played in the overall shortfall.

The city introduced the food scraps diver-sion program in November of 2009. At thattime, the city allowed haulers to select a yel-low commercial bin to dispose of food scraps.

Based off the recommendations of a con-sultant, the city also restructured its rates offer-ing less expensive recycling and food scrapsdiversion cans over more expensive trash cans.

The city has 133 businesses that participat-ed in the food scraps program. Of that total, 66are stand alone restaurants.

The city was successful at getting business-es to sign on to the commercial food scrapsprogram, largely because it restructured itsrates to promote less expensive recycling, andfood scraps bins cans over more expensive

trash cans.The low rates, as much as an 85 discount

from a trash can, were designed to serve asincentive to recycle and divert from the landfill.

But around the time the program was created,Samario said, the economy also tanked, so therewas less food scraps.

“Weknow that businesses goout of business andless trash is generated,” Samario said. “The rev-enueswill always trendwith economic conditions.”

Samario said other, more significant factorswere contributing to the rate increase.

He said the city is contractually obligated to raiserates because of the rise in consumer price index.Next year that increase will be about 1.27 percent.

The city also needs to raise the rates anoth-er 1.45 percent because of the increase in costto take things to the county dump.

In addition to those factors, Samario saidthat the Solid Waste fund is still recoveringfrom the loss of $450,000 in franchise fees.

Based on an administrative recommenda-tion, the City Council approved taking$450,000 from the solid waste fund and put-ting it into the general fund.

In addition to that loss, the Solid Waste fundmust pay back $50,000 annually to make upfor the several years that the franchise feeswere going to the Solid Waste Fund instead ofthe general fund.

The solid waste fund must also pay$150,000 annually to maintain a methane gasemission collection system near Elings Park,the site of a former landfill. That equipment iscurrently being installed.

Samario also said that the value of the recy-clables is also way down. In 2010, the city

— Dale Francisco

Working mothers want to earn a good salary, put a higher priorityon getting some help around the house than at the office, and under-value their work at home, surveys released on Tuesday showed.

Salary is the key factor when job-hunting, according to womenwhowork outside the home, but a family-friendly office, job enjoy-ment and flexible schedules are also priorities, a survey fromiVillage and TODAY.com showed.

Eight out of 10 workingmothers earn at least half of their house-hold’s income, it said.Amajority of women also are responsible formost household chores, prompting about 70 percent to say theywould prefer an assistant at home over one at the office.

“Unfortunately, what working moms have the least time for isthemselves,” said Kelly Wallace, chief corespondent for iVillage.

U.S. women opt for help at home

Video games cause overeatingAn hour spent playing video games may make teenage boys

eat more over the rest of the day, a small study suggests.The study, of 22 normal-weight teens, found that the boys ate a

bigger lunch when they had a pre-meal video game, versus an hourspent relaxing.And they did not make up for the extra bites by burn-ing more calories through gaming, or by eating less later in the day.

On average, the boys downed 163 calories more on the daywhen they played video games, researchers report in theAmerican Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Exactlywhat thatmeans for video gamers’waistlines is unknown.But the findings add to studies that have linked kids’ screen time—from TV and computers—to the odds of being overweight.

While those studies observed patterns, and do not provecause-and-effect, the current study actually tested the idea thatsomething about video-gaming itself might affect eating habits,explained lead researcher Jean-Philippe Chaput.

President Barack Obama decided on Wednesday not torelease photographs of slain al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden’sbody, saying they could incite violence and be used by militantsas a propaganda tool.

Attorney General Eric Holder, seeking to head off sugges-tions that killing bin Laden was illegal, said the U.S. comman-dos who raided his Pakistani hide-out on Monday had carriedout a justifiable act of national self-defense.

In deciding not to make public the pictures of the corpse,Obama resisted arguments that to do so could counter skepticswho have argued there is no proof that bin Laden, who was rap-idly buried at sea by U.S. forces, is dead.

“It is important for us to make sure that very graphic photosof somebody who was shot in the head are not floating aroundas an incitement to additional violence. As a propaganda tool,”the president added.

Plesons found that in her busy life shehad limited time in which to visit localfarmers’markets. Since she herself couldbenefit from a delivery option, she fig-ured that other people could as well.

Plesons’ passion for the business ideaalso largely centers around her family. Herson, who is now 15, was diagnosed whenhe was four years old with Type I diabetes.

“I feel strongly about teaching kids toeat healthy at a young age,” she said, cit-ing the rise of obesity in the childhoodpopulation and the burgeoning spread ofType II diabetes, which can be spurredby diet choices.

Pleson’s had worked as a speech pathol-ogist prior to her son’s diagnosis; after thatdiagnosis, she decided to take time off totend to her family. Eventually, she foundthe time jump into entrepreneurship with aWeb site: familytravel.com; she eventuallysold it to her business partner.

As a result, Plesons went up andworked with a Seattle-based business,New Roots Organics, “for just a week-end,” to see how that organization ranthings. When Plesons came back to Santa

Barbara, she had a good blueprint withwhich to start Plow to Porch Organics.

Today, Plow to Porch Organicsemploys seven part-time workers inaddition to Plesons.

Plow to Porch Organics has now beendelivering local, organic, & pesticide-free produce to customers throughout theSanta Barbara area for more than threeyears. About a year ago, according toPlesons, the business moved to its cur-

rent location, and for about seven monthshas been running the market in the front,even as it continues to operate the deliv-ery service out of the back.

“When we moved, we decided we hadenough space to open what we’re calling‘your neighborhood local organic mar-ket, where it’s farmers’ market everyday,’” shared Plesons.

The opening of the market-front was

“When the economy tanked they nolonger wanted them,” Samario said. “Thedemand went way down.”

All of those revenue declines, Samariosaid, play into the necessity to raise rates.

“It’s all of these moving parts togeth-er that had a factor,” Samario said.

But some members of the councilappear ready and willing to scrap thefood scraps program altogether.

“We just recently had to ask for somemoney back from haulers because thefood scrap program and the revenue

structure that was created for that pro-gram by a consultant turns out not to beworking,” said councilman DaleFrancisco at Tuesday’s council meeting,during a separate discussion about a con-sultant contract. “A rather large shortfallactually. We are extremely fortunate thatthe haulers decided to kick in somemoney after the fact.

“But that was our miscalculation.”Francisco said the council needs to

have a serious discussion about the via-bility of the food scraps program.

“It seems based on some recent evidencethat the food scraps program has some realproblems,” Francisco said. “I want to dis-cuss that I want to see whether this councilwants to continue with this program.”

The haulers both agree that the cityshould have a food scraps program.

pioneer in recycling on the South Coast, how-ever, believes that rate structure is flawed.

“These programs have to pay for them-selves,” said Mario Borgatello, the president ofMarBorg. “I am skeptical of the rate that isbeing charged for food scraps.”

MarBorg has helped the city and countydivert trash from the landfill because of its $15million construction and recycling center.

“We are a leader in a recycling and we area leader in diversion of all types,” Borgatellosaid. “Where we see a major problem, is inthe rate structure. We need to sit down with

city staff and thoroughly analyze this. It iswell and good to make all these predictionsand all that but now we are where the rubberhas hit the road. We believe the rate structure

is flawed.”Stephen MacIntosh, the general manager of

Allied, who worked for the city at the timewhen it pushed heavily for the food scraps pro-gram, said the rate structure should not beblamed for the budget problems in the solidwaste department.

“I don’t think the food scraps program is theculprit,” MacIntosh said. “There was a lot ofexcess service and a lot of capacity that wasn’tbeing used. I don’t think it is the food scraps pro-gram that is breaking the bank at all right now.”

He noted some of the same economic fac-tors mentioned by Samario.

“A few things happened after this programwas launched in 2009,” MacIntosh said. “The

economy went down and there were fewerbusinesses and there were people producingless waste. The new rate structure also incen-tivized people to increase recycling.”

NEWS

not necessarily a business-centric decision,says Plesons.

“We didn’t need it,” she confirmed,” it wasjust a nice thing to offer to the community. It’sbeen open for seven months and is steadilygrowing.”

The front of the store indeed captures thatfarmer’s market essence, even beyond what itcarries. It’s a cool, mellow, friendly, and con-versational atmosphere. Of course, in the back,it’s bustling business, with phones ringing andboxes being packed and split-second decisionsbeing made on, for example, what to include inthe signature delivery boxes when one of the

always-seasonal offerings has run low.One interesting service offered by Plow to

Porch Organics’ market is the constant addi-tion of new, local, organic products from localchefs, who Plesons says otherwise “don’t have

an outlet for their products right now.”“To be at the farmer’s market you need to

actually grow what you’re selling,” sheexplained. “These are chefs that are actuallyusing local organic produce, but they are not

growing it. We’re helping to get several newbusinesses started.”

But Plow to Porch’ bread and butter is thedelivery service. Plesons describes the sub-scription service as having experienced a con-

stant, steady growth since it opened.“At the beginning it was all word of mouth

from our customers,” Plesons said of the busi-ness’ steady growth. “Most of our referralscome from our own customers. We are defi-

nitely able to handle more deliveries andwould love to keep the growth going.”

Currently, Plow to Porch boasts about 300weekly subscribers, translating to 300 weeklydeliveries to homes, businesses, and schools.Each delivery can represent a box as small as“The Bambino,” which supplies produce for asingle person or a “couple on the go”; thelargest box is the “Value Box,” which is char-acterized as containing “vegetables and fruitfor a large family or serious produce lovers.”Each delivery includes suggested recipes fromthe company. The subscriptions range in pricefrom $25 to $60; customers can add on eggs,honey, Green Star coffee, and more to theirdeliveries for additional cost.

One way that Plow to Porch Organicsgives back is its “Healthy School, HealthyFamily” program. The school delivery optionhelps increase availability in that parents canhave produce delivered to their children’sparticipating schools—and help the schoolsearn money in the process. If five familiessign up for produce box delivery at a school,then the school itself gets 5 percent of thesubscription cost.

Customer education is something Plesonssays can be challenging. The nature of thebusiness means that sometimes a promisedfruit or vegetable isn’t available, perhaps dueto rain or flooding, for instance.

“Instead of getting that rainbow chard, youmay get cauliflower,” Plesons said.“Sometimes—not frequently but sometimes—eating local means you have to be a little bitflexible.”

Despite these challenges, Plesons definitelyappreciates the unique ways in which her cus-tomer base responds to the deliveries.

“Our customer base is wonderful,” sheshared. “A lot of them consider their producebox when it arrives like a treasure chest—they’re really excited to open it up, see what’sin it, and see what recipes we’ve included thatweek. They’re excited to cook, and lots oftimes people will take pictures of foodthey’ve made and send it to me to show mehow well it turned out, and talk about howgreat the produce was.”
