MIKE ON THE MOVE ����������������� ������������������������������������������������������������������������ ����������
�����������I cruised over to the Borders inGoleta earlier this week to grabsome book deals, but I came tosudden halt when I walked throughthe door. All the books were gone.The only thing left was the shelv-ing against the wall and it wasbeing ripped down and pieces weregoing out the door fast. It lookedlike an autopsy. Maybe it was just me, but it
seemed like the people inside thestore just stared at me, like I didn’tbelong. I guess I didn’t anymore. Iturned to walk out and there were two youngwomen, the last of the Border employees,standing there. “Can we help you?” one said. “I write
books,” I said. “I’m just watching my worldbeing dismantled.” The woman who had spo-ken looked at me hard and then tears welledup in her eyes. “It’s horrible,” she said, start-ing to cry. “I loved working in this bookstore.It’s all I know.” I put my arm around her andthere we stood, in the middle of the big,empty space; wishing it was yesterday.
***Shifting gears, did you read about the guy
who ate 25,000 Big Macs? Seriously, a guynamed Don Gorske started when he was 18and ate two or three Big Macs a day for 39years. The news reports said Gorske, aWisconsin native, suffers from an obsessive-compulsive disorder … duh. He is also six-foot-two and 180 pounds and his cholesterolis perfect. If there were any bookstores left,(my apologies to Tecolote and Chaucers, mayyou long prosper), they would be undoubted-ly start selling the Big Mac Diet Book.Speaking of crummy diets, America is real-
ly getting fat. It amazes me that “fat” hasbecome one of the most politically incorrectwords in the country. You can actually getkicked off a number of the UC campuses forcalling someone ‘fat,’ especially the Dean, Isuppose. Anyway, the feds say four out of five
Americans over the age of 25 are well, fat.It’s scary, Type II diabetes has increased 75percent in the past 20 years! But I must add –and I’m not just saying this because I’m asingle journalist looking for the right subjectand some action verbs – that Santa Barbaraarea women have a well-deserved reputationfor being beautiful and thin. But, one thing that annoys me greatly is
when older women tell my daughter, Michele,who is about five-foot-nine and 117 pounds,that she is too thin. This happens with someregularity.
Overweight women we don’t evenknow come up and tell her to gainweight. Michele is 19 years old andshe was the best basketball and vol-leyball player in her high school. Shedoesn’t need me to protect her, but Ikind of enjoy it. I am not saying Ihelp these sweet, stout ladies learnthe joy of exercise, but they are usu-ally moving pretty lively by the timeI finish speaking my mind.
***Speaking of skinny, the City is
facing some nasty budget numbers this year,with a big question of what to do aboutshrinking funds for the cops. It’s toughbecause Chief Cam Sanchez is doing a terrificjob. Crime is down. These are good cops. Weneed to find a way to keep them.Here’s my solution. All day you can hear
the coiffed newsreaders at Fox and MSNBCtalk in serious tones about the battle overtaxes on the Hill. They are working on thewrong end of the horse. Posturing over lower-ing taxes makes for heroic sound bites, but itwon’t solve the problem. Only putting peopleback to work will do that.If I were king of the media (I like that
idea), I would kick all the political pundits offthe network news shows and fill prime timewith intelligent men and women of businesstalking about innovative ways of getting peo-ple back to work. The city can start by lean-ing on the owners of the retail stores alongState Street to lower their rents so small busi-nesses can better afford them.
***Hey, did you see that some Congressman is
protesting the naming of a Navy battleshipafter Cesar Chavez? This is a good guy whojust wanted to make things better and he didit in the violence-free, time-honored way ofEmerson, Thoreau and Gandhi. The U.S.S.Chavez has a good ring to it.
***Before I head off to have another Big Mac
(just kidding, my downfall are the greatdesserts at the Le Petite Valentien), I want torecommend a terrific new “core body” classtaught by the very hot, Danielle Merlino, andone of the best salsa teachers in the city,Hector Sanchez.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Huntsman picks Fla. for HQORLANDO, Fla (Reuters) – Former Republican Utah gover-
nor Jon Huntsman has picked Orlando, Florida, for his 2012 pres-idential campaign headquarters should he decide to run, a cam-paign official and media reports said on Wednesday.Huntsman, 41, resigned as governor in 2009 after President
Barack Obama appointed him as ambassador to China.Huntsman returned to the United States earlier this month and,
within days, created a federal political action committee to raisemoney for staff and travel ahead of an expected decision to seekthe Republican presidential nomination.His choice of Orlando underscores Florida’s role as a key bat-
tleground state.The Orlando Sentinel said advisers to Huntsman had con-
firmed the decision, and quoted Susie Wiles, a Florida politicalconsultant who ran Rick Scott’s successful gubernatorial cam-paign, as saying: “This is not a Washington-based campaign andnot a Washington-based candidate.”A Huntsman campaign official who declined to be identified
confirmed the plan to Reuters, and noted that Huntsman’s wife,Mary Kaye, grew up in Orlando and still has family members inthe area.The east-to-west Interstate 4 corridor, which cuts directly
through Orlando, is home to a growing population that includeslarge numbers of Puerto Ricans whose votes are up for grabs byRepublicans or Democrats.In recent presidential elections, Florida has flip-flopped, choos-
ing Democrat Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996, Republican GeorgeW. Bush in the disputed vote of 2000 and again in 2004, andObama in 2008.Florida also will host the 2012 Republican National
Convention in Tampa beginning August 27, 2012.
Embattled IMF head resigns(Reuters) – Dominique Strauss-Kahn resigned as head of the
International Monetary Fund, the IMF, said in a statement datedMay 18, as he faces charges of sexual assault and attemptedrape.“I deny with the greatest possible firmness all of the allega-
tions that have been made against me,” Strauss-Kahn said in hisletter of resignation, released by the IMF.Defense lawyers for IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn,
who is charged with trying to rape a hotel maid, want himreleased on $1 million cash bail and placed under 24-hour homedetention with electronic monitoring, court papers showed onWednesday.A bail hearing in the case is due to be held on Thursday
before a New York State Supreme Court justice, Strauss-Kahnattorney Shawn Naunton told Reuters.
Santa Barbara’s Artisan Courtreceived a $234,720 grant from the U.S.Department of Housing and UrbanDevelopment.The Santa Barbara Housing Authority
opened Artisan Court last month at 422East Cota Street.The three-story home is designed to
house Santa Barbara’s most vulnerablepopulations – the homeless, the disabledand recently emancipated youth.The grant money comes from HUD’s
Shelter Plus Care Program, which pro-vides funds for housing and supportiveservices for homeless persons with dis-
abilities, primarily those with seriousmental illness, chronic problems withalcohol and/or drugs, and acquiredimmunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) orrelated diseases.“I am very pleased that the Santa
Barbara Housing Authority has receivedthese important federal resources to helpthe most vulnerable among us get off thestreets and into affordable housing,” saidRep. Lois Capps, D-Santa Barbara. “Thisfunding will have a long-term positiveimpact on reducing homelessness in ourown neighborhoods. The HousingAuthority has a dedicated staff that is
committed to making our community abetter place and I thank them for all oftheir hard work.”The grant money will be distributed
over five years. The Housing Authoritywill be required to provide an equalamount or more of funding for support-ive services to its clients who willreceive the rental subsidies.The grant money is part of a $216 mil-
lion nationwide HUD program to nearly700 new homeless throughout the coun-try.

Economic and political forces arecreating and maintaining a South Coastunderclass of undocumented immigrantsthat resembles the disenfranchisedCalifornios pushed out of Santa Barbarain the 1880s, a Pacifica GraduateInstitute psychology professor told agroup of therapists Wednesday.Professor Mary Watkins spoke to
about 50 members of the Santa BarbaraChapter of the California Association ofMarriage and Family Therapists meetingat the University Club.“Santa Barbara is really two cities,”
Watkins said, “One for an ‘internalcolony’ of Latinos, and one for Anglos.”The underclass of Latinos is controlledby fear of losing jobs and deportation.After studying the economic and psy-
chological effects of colonization inother countries, Watkins drew similari-ties to what is happening on the SouthCoast as Latino immigrants and long-time Hispanic residents vie for fewerjobs in this post-recession era.“Santa Barbara is following a tragic
colonial pattern,” Watkins said. She saidSouth Coast colonialism started in 1847when Latinos lost much of their landand wealth in a rapid process to Anglos“who used others labor for the accumu-lation of capital,” she said. “This is thehistory of Santa Barbara,” but the trendcontinues today, Watkins said.A key problem for Latino immigrants
in the post-9/11 era, she said, is that theU.S. Homeland Security Departmenthas convinced many municipalities,including Santa Barbara County, to par-ticipate in the Secure CommunitiesProgram. She said the program is aimedat deporting dangerous felons, but haslead to the removal of more than400,000 undocumented immigrants whowere jailed for “minor offenses.”Watkins called on the county to opt
out of the program, but said HomelandSecurity is trying to prevent all munici-
palities from doingthat.She said another
way Santa Barbarais maintaining anunderclass witheconomic control isby allowing policeto impound carsdriven by immi-grants with no dri-vers’ licenses. Thisusually meansimmigrants willabandon the car
because he or she can’t afford theimpound fees. The county makes a greatdeal of revenue from this practice, shesaid.The Pacifica professor also attacked
Santa Barbara’s recent gang injunctionas anti-immigrant. She said it furthersthe alienation Latinos feel.A Santa Barbara resident herself,
Watkins said her historical researchshows that Anglos have disenfranchisedthe Chumash, Chinese and Japaneseover the years. Noting that two Latinoswere lynched in Carpinteria in 1859, shesaid many South Coast businessmen andmerchants marched down State Street inthe 1920, calling for the elimination ofethnic groups.Until the 1950s, she said, many South
Coast beaches, schools and theaterswere segregated, with a number of busi-nesses bearing signs that read, “No dogsor Mexicans allowed.”“Unfortunately, the shame isn’t over,”
Watkins said. She said South Coastemployers still pay immigrants poorwages while most of them can’t arguefor better pay.The promise of employment, even at
low pay, continues to lure Mexicannationals to Santa Barbara, partlybecause it had been a key Latino centersince it was founded. This has caused
children of Mexican nationals to havetrouble proving their citizenshipwhether they were born in the UnitedStates or not, she said. This has been aproblem for decades.Watkins asked members of the audi-
ence how many of them did not knowSanta Barbara’s history as she describedit. Most in the room indicated they did
not.******
To the delight of many South Coastlodging and restaurant facility owners,the upcoming summer season is shapingup to be a boost for the economy withthe increase in festivals and othertourist-drawing events.After some dismal recession years for
tourism, thousands of visitors areexpected to fill hotels, motels and bedand breakfast inns after enjoying a dayat one of the festivals.Examples of this include:I Madonnari Italian Street Painting
Festival , May 28 to 30, a MemorialDay weekend tradition at Mission SantaBarbara;The Summer Solstice Parade &
Festival, June 24 to 26;Independence Day festivities include
a parade on State Street, a pops concertin the courthouse Sunken Gardens andfireworks on the waterfront;Santa Barbara’s Pacific Pride Festival

DETROIT (Reuters) – Chrysler Group LLCplans to repay about $7.5 billion in U.S. andCanadian government loans on May 24 tostrengthen the automaker’s financial position,a person familiar with the matter said onWednesday.The loans are part of Chrysler’s 2009 bank-
ruptcy restructuring when a massive drop inauto sales pushed the company to the brink ofcollapse. The automaker is now operated by Fiat
SpA.Chrysler will use $3.5 billion in bonds, a
$2.5 billion term loan and about $1.3 billion in
cash from Fiat to repay the loans, peoplefamiliar with the matter have previously said.Chrysler will detail the terms of its $3.5 bil-
lion bond offering on Thursday, the day thenew debt is slated to be priced, the source said.Chrysler declined to comment. The source
declined to be named because the plans arecurrently private.In late April, the company announced it
would repay the government loans by the endof June.Sergio Marchionne, who is chief executive
of Chrysler and Fiat, and Chrysler ChiefFinancial Officer Richard Palmer went on a
road show this month to court potentiallenders.Repaying the loans would mark a critical
step for Chrysler as the automaker tries to dis-tance itself from the controversial rescue bythe Obama administration and rebuild con-sumer confidence in the brand.Refinancing the government loans allows
Chrysler to lower its interest payments, whichtotaled $1.2 billion last year. The move alsoallows Fiat to boost its stake in Chrysler to 46percent from its current 30 percent.The automaker initially aimed to borrow
$3.5 billion in a term loan, which has a lower

The workshop was largely quiet Wednesdayafternoon, and Morrison said he expects it tostay that way for a few more weeks. “It’s usually pretty quiet for May and early
June,” he said. “Then school lets out and in theweek before the parade it’s busy.” Morrison said even though some parade
participants have ideas already conceptualized,everyone is invited to work at the center. The workshop is open from 3 to 8 p.m.
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and noon to6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Work attire,
including closed-toe shoes, is stronglyadvised.The Solstice team will host from 9 a.m. to
noon Saturday the Solstice Art Swap andRummage Sale at the workshop. “It will be a fun day of bargains: costumes,
some giant puppets, tools and props,” Brattonsaid.This year’s celebration is spread over three

iting from Los Angeles, said they enjoyedbeing able to just stop and park for free. TheGallaghers said parking in Los Angelesinvolves paying and walking.“I don’t mind spending money but I mind
feeling ripped off,” Theresa Gallagher said.“And I usually feel that way when I have topark.”Whether parking fees would deter them
from coming to Santa Barbara beaches woulddepend on the rates. L.A. parking can reach thedouble-digits, but a long grace period or smallfee wouldn’t bother the Gallaghers.“We would stop for a dollar,” Theresa
Gallagher said.But for many, a dollar may be too much.Richardson said the county isn’t likely to
end the fees when the financial crisis haspassed.“Once they’re there, they won’t go away,”
Richardson said.Jane Kelly, out for a stroll on Goleta beach,
is also against fees. She believes people wouldstart moving their cars to the surroundingneighborhoods, creating problems for the com-munity.“People aren’t going to like that,” Kelly
said. “And I wouldn’t like it either.”Kelly said if the parks are in need of fund-
ing, a donation box at every beach would be abetter place to start.UCSB students Monica Erdman and
Adrienne Kentner said they don’t often come
by car themselves, but classmates often holdbarbecues and other celebrations at the beach.Paid parking would make them reconsider howoften they hold these activities.“It’d be a bummer,” Erdman said.Near the waterline at Arroyo Burro, Fidel
Perez said he likes the fact that it’s free to parkat the beach and should stay that way, pointingout that county beaches are the only ones leftthat don’t charge.“I think the county makes enough money
and so does the state,” Perez said.“Everywhere else you’ve got to pay.”Michelle Lvoff, out with her dog, is
opposed to the idea of a fee. She said it takes away a little bit of Santa
Barbara’s character. The beach is supposed tobe a relaxing place in a small town and payingseems like a big city thing to do.“It just brings a little more stress to the set-
ting when you have to pay to walk on thebeach,” Lvoff said.
