BY NICK C. TONKINDAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENT

The owners of the Hope Ranch Innon upper State Street want to build athree-story, 90-room hotel to replacethe existing 16-room, one story motel.

State Street Hospitality Incorporatedwants to scrap the old motel and aneighboring vacant property to buildthe new facility.

Santa Barbara County planners onThursday presented the proposal to thecity Planning Commission. The projectis still at the beginning stages.

Commissioner Deborah Schwartzsaid the project needed to make a goodimpression as it would be the firstbuilding to greet visitors coming fromSan Marcos Pass.

“This is going to set the tone andpave the way for a very much neededrevitalized stretch along that end ofState Street,” Schwartz said.

The commissioners expressed ofskepticism over some of the plans.Commissioner Charmaine Jacobs feltthe project seemed to be cramming in alot of people, buildings, and facilitiesinto too small a space.

“It’s like landing a jet on a postagestamp,” Jacobs said.

Commissioner Mike Jordan raisedconcerns about traffic issues surround-ing the intersection which connects the154, State Street, and Highway 101’ssouthbound onramp. Jordan said a sin-gle car could easily back-up trafficinside the parking area.

Jacobs added that the plan needed toaccount for alternative forms of trans-portation. A larger motel would putmore pedestrians on the road andJacobs felt the current project wasn’ttaking into account people walking orbiking to the nearby El Mercado andFive Points shopping centers.

“What I see in the plans would beunacceptable for those folks,” Jacobssaid.

The commission also had reserva-tions over the project’s claim of onlyneeding four employees to staff themotel at any one time. CommissionerStella Larson said that number seemedtoo low.

“I can’t imagine a staff of four man-ning the front desk and changing 90beds if that place was full,” Larson said.

Jacobs said it brought up the largerissue of the county not coordinatinghousing and jobs. She said countydevelopments like the motel don’t take

into account the housing impact on acity already struggling with housingissues.

“Our county is the only county in theentire state of California that has noblueprint linking jobs, housing, andtransportation,” Jacobs said.

The project being defined as a“motel” vexed some of the commis-sioners. International guidelines fortraffic impact studies have differencesbetween hotels and motels.

While county planner Anne Almysaid the county had rules about what itdefined a “motel,” CommissionerBruce Bartlett said the project didn’tseem that way.

“This seems more ‘hotel’ than‘motel,’” Bartlett said.

Though concerns crowded the meet-ing, a few constructive ideas came for-ward. The commission suggestedbuilding a memorial to remember threepeople killed in a truck crash near theproposed site a year ago. Jordan addedthat the bus stop next to the Thrifty gasstation could be moved closer to thehotel to spruce up the waiting area.

“That section of sidewalk is about asmiserable and forlorn as any you willsee,” Jordan said.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Starz pulls content from Netflix

Amazon offers CA jobs if...(Reuters) – Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) has proposed a hiring

spree of 7,000 jobs in California if state leaders put a recently enact-ed online sales tax on hold for two years.

The offer comes as California contends with the second-highestunemployment rate among U.S. states and broad anxiety about thenational economy.

The tax, which took effect on July 1, requires retailers outside ofCalifornia to collect sales taxes on online orders made throughCalifornia-based affiliates. If it is not enforced until 2014, the largestInternet retailer also would drop its effort to put a measure toCalifornia voters that would repeal it.

Democrats who control the legislature will not accept Seattle-basedAmazon's offer. They pressed in state budget talks earlier thisyear for new revenue to help balance the state's books, whichrequire closing a $10 billion shortfall.

Lawmakers closed the gap in June, largely with spending cutsthat Democrats reluctantly backed after having supported deep cutsin previous budget cycles.

Details of Amazon’s offer emerged on Thursday after a meetingon Tuesday between representatives of Amazon and member com-panies of the California Retailers Association and a group in theoffice state Senate Republican Bob Dutton in Sacramento.

(Reuters) – Starz Entertainment will pull all of its movies and tel-evision shows from Netflix Inc’s streaming service early next year,depriving Netflix customers from online viewing of new releasesout of two major Hollywood studios.

Pay-TV operator Starz, controlled by John Malone’s LibertyMedia, said on Thursday it had ended talks to renew a deal thatexpires Feb. 28.After that date, Starz will stop providing its content,which includes exclusive rights to first-run Sony Corp and WaltDisney Co. movies, for streaming on Netflix.

Shares of Netflix were down 8.7 percent at $213 in after-hourstrade, from a close on the Nasdaq of $233.27. Netflix was offeringto pay somewhere in the $200 million to $300 million range annu-ally for rights to stream Starz content, a source familiar with thenegotiations said. Starz balked at that offer, the source said.

Netflix Chief Executive Reed Hastings said in June it “wouldn’tbe shocking” to pay up to $200 million, a figure some analysts hadpredicted. The original online streaming rights are believed to havebeen agreed for around $30 million a year four years ago, peoplefamiliar with the deal have said.

Starz, in a statement, called its decision to end talks with Netflix“a result of our strategy to protect the premium nature of our brandby preserving the appropriate pricing and packaging” of its content.

The news came the same day that an unpopular Netflix price hikeof as much as $6 per month took effect.

Dear Miss Kitty,My husband and I have been married for 4 years.

He just got a job offer in another state. I really don’twant to go and he doesn’t need to take the job. I feelthat slowly I have been losing a part of myself withevery decision I have made for the good of our mar-riage and there have been lots of them. I really love myhusband but it just doesn’t seem fair.

MichelleSanta Barbara

Acknowledging our passion and what defines us per-sonally can be a struggle, especially while in a relation-ship. Hopefully, by the time we’re adults we have seen an exam-ple of two of the benefits of working for the good of the coupleand implemented the best practice possible to make that happensmoothly. There is great value in learning to compromise, as longas it is done with good intentions and without resentment of anykind.

A relationship where the needs and desires of one partner areconstantly satisfied by the other partner giving up their own needsis a form of “relationship socialism.”

And just like the classical definition of socialism, relationshipsocialism is ultimately an experiment in futility. The compelledstripping away of one individual – to the benefit of the other –only serves to weaken the entire relationship. The one repeatedlycoerced to give till it hurts, eventually hurts to the breaking point– and goes “John Galt.”

Socialism is a concept that has many an inherent fault. In asocialist world, the pie is fixed in size – and every piece of bananacrème that one person takes must be given up by another. It sacri-fices individual freedom of choice to the idea that all people needthe same things, for the highest benefit of all. Just what these“same things” are and how the pie is divvied up -is decided by a“higher authority.” We don’t – and never will – all agree on thosethings and that is what makes us free individuals, not Stepfordhusbands and wives.

What makes us individuals is what makes us unique and givesus value – to ourselves as well as to others. We have individualtalents we bring to our relationships and those abilities allowgrowth to happen. A relationship based in freedom, that allowsboth partners to continually blossom is a great partnership that isrewarding beyond measure and there is always more pie in theoven. Socialism appears as a grand concept: that enforced sacri-

fice for country, or for a marriage, will always be worththe pain and struggle and that the ends justify themeans. The problem is that time and time again we seeit doesn’t really work – and yet we continue to beg, bor-row and steal the individual’s self for “the good” of thewhole.

When one constantly is compelled to concede toanother the balance that is a happy relationship is tippedslowly but surely into something of lesser and lesservalue. Eventually there is no reason to concede for the“good” of anything and the marriage will dissolve in abig fat mess. Relationship socialism is like dressing amonkey in anArmani tuxedo. Eventually, as sophisti-

cated as the monkey may first appear, he is going to be a monkeyand grab a banana off the buffet and swing from the hotel chande-lier. It’s a lovely concept, but in practice will never work due tothe inherent condition that will emerge regardless of the cummer-bund and cufflinks. You simply can’t force something to be whatit isn’t – regardless of the feel-good idealism behind the concept.

A relationship based on the socialism premise, that one mustconcede to another’s “needs” regardless of their own, is just asuseless as dressing up a monkey. We aren’t talking about theoccasional voluntary concession one makes out of love; we arediscussing the constant needs of one person overriding the needsof another, and that shouldn’t be tolerated.

Darling Michelle, of course constant concession for anotherdoesn’t feel fair. It’s not! There isn’t anything real about it since itis based on a false premise and real is always better. Definingwhat is real in a relationship takes two working together for thegood of the one; To clarify in black and white, NOT the good ofthe one in terms of the one being “the couple.” No one wins andno one is really happy. The couple must work together to assurethe needs of each individual are met. Not with a “fixed pie” mind-set but with a view to giving and taking in equal measure, respect-ing individuality and enjoying the always available pie. Going toa place of honest compassionate concession, while respectingindividual freedom is somewhere to go boldly; and where perhapsno man – or country – has gone before.

Have a naughty day!

Saturday, October 1stLeadbetter Beach

A summer full of beach days hascome to a close. Time to run to thedrug store for pencils,paper and the coveted StarWars trapper-keeper. Tolook good on the first day,you take your mom to buyjust the right Town andCountry tee-shirt, O.P. cor-duroy shorts, comb in theback pocket, tall tubesocks and two-tone blueVans. The truth is, thatwas cool for school in1978.

Although fashions havechanged, preparing for anew school year hasn’tchanged over the past 30years. Planning for successhas always been beneficial.

My American Studies teacher atGoleta Valley Junior High used totell us, “I can teach you, but I can’tlearn you.” While it is obvious thatthis statement did not come from agrammar teacher, the message hasstuck in my mind all of these years.The classroom may be the placewhere a teacher teaches, but thehome is where a student reallylearns. With so many subjects, wecannot assume that there are enoughhours in the school day for our stu-dents to master their reading, writ-ing and arithmetic at school.

StructureThe more structure a child has

after school, the easier it is to learn.A child who just “hangs out” orwatches endless hours of TV afterschool will be more likely to getinto trouble and less likely to finishhomework and learn the day’s les-sons. A child with an organizedafternoon, including a homeworkclub, soccer practice, music lessonsor just a quiet place to study, willlearn to be better organized andbudget time and energy.

HomeworkHelping your child keep track of

assignments and makingsure that homework is com-pleted, will show that youvalue his education andefforts. Proofreading essaysand double-checking mathhomework can help yourdaughter learn at home andturn in quality work. In thelong run, this will helpbuild self-esteem in yourchild.

AttendanceEvery effort should be

made to minimize schoolabsences. Taking an extend-ed family vacation or sched-

uling routine doctor visits duringschool hours is disruptive to achild’s education and may send amessage to a child that school is nota top priority.

Establish communication and getinvolved

Establishing communication withyour child’s teacher will demon-strate your interest in your child’seducation. Being proactive will helpyou monitor your child’s progress.

Supportive parents make a differ-ence. Not every parent will be ableto bring an exploding volcanochemistry experiment to class, buthaving a supportive and positiveattitude toward your child’s school,homework and teacher can go along way.

Our schools need your help.Every parent has something tooffer, from being a PTA member,classroom volunteer or bringing aprofessional expertise to the class-room. Generally, the more parentparticipation your child’s schoolhas, the better the educational expe-rience your child and classmateswill have.

Role ModelTalk to your children about the

benefits of education. Better yet,show your children how importanteducation is to you. Go to thelibrary together, read a book infront of your kids and take yourchildren to work with you – whenthey are on vacation.

We are so fortunate to have suchgreat adult educational resources,including a wonderful adult educa-tion program and Santa BarbaraCity College. Treat yourself to aclass. What a better way to showyour family how much you valueeducation.

Importance of educationEducation is the great equalizer.

The more education we have, themore doors that will be open for us.Success starts from the elementarylevel. A child’s excitement about ateacher and school often stems fromparental attitudes. Completinghomework on time and in a qualitymanner will help promote a strongwork ethic and a positive self-image. Minimizing absences andgetting involved with our schoolswill help build solid foundationsand better schools.

As the world around us becomesmore competitive, educationbecomes even more vital to ourfuture successes. While “back toschool” fashions may have changedsince 1978, two things haveremained constant. Preparing for asuccessful school year is still bene-ficial and I still enjoy wearing two-tone blue Vans.

BY ELISE CLEMENTSDAILY SOUND STAFF WRITER

Months after fracking in Los Alamosshocked the community, Rep. Lois Capps, D-Santa Barbara, assembled a panel of expertsto discuss the controversial issue yesterday.

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is aprocess used by oil companies to extract oiland natural gas imbedded in shale rock for-mations. High pressure water infused withchemicals is forced down wells fracturingsurrounding rock and promoting the flow ofsubstances.

It has been the source of controversy, most-ly in eastern states, where potential health andenvironmental risks associated with themethod have piqued national curiosity.Images of people lighting their tap water onfire have become emblematic of the issue.

About 70 people filled the auditorium inthe Santa Barbara Museum of NaturalHistory. Capps and County SupervisorDoreen Farr presided over the meeting.

Opinions differ on how much, if any, spe-cial regulation should be imposed on compa-nies that frack, or if the method should beused at all. Capps said that there was a periodduring the Bush administration where theindustry was coddled to a dangerous extent.

Capps is co-sponsoring a bill that wouldremove fracking from exemption from theSafe Drinking Water Act received in 2005.Because of this provision, companies current-ly do not have to reveal the ingredients of

their chemical brews.“The purpose of regulation must be a

reflection of our commitment to health andenvironmental safety,” Capps said. “We musthave our eye towards the answer: Will publichealth be threatened in our communitieswhere fracking is permitted?”

Farr provided local context. In March localranchers discovered that fracking hadoccurred at two wells along Highway 135.Farr said she got a call from one rancher whowas not even aware it was happening on hisproperty.

An inquiry revealed that the loud noises therancher was hearing were fracking, andthough it was his property, he did not own thechemical rights to it and so could do nothingto prevent it, Farr said.

The revelation fueled two County Boardmeetings and a third is scheduled for Sept. 20.

“I don’t think we believed fracking wouldever occur here,” Farr said.

DougAnthony, deputy director of the ener-gy division of the county planning and devel-opment department, outlined the applicationprocess his division is working on.

He said that in the future companies will besubject to a rigorous process involving a pub-lic hearing, environmental review, andapproval by the county PlanningCommission.

“We’re following all the studies as well aseverybody else,” he said. “One of the biggestissues is the uncertainty and lack of disclo-

sure.”Other speakers echoed the need for disclo-

sure, and expressed further fear regarding thefracking process.

Brian Segee, staff attorney forEnvironmental Defense Center, said that he ishighly concerned with the use of toxic chem-icals which he said often find ways to eithersurface or drain into the water supply. Theprocess might also promote seismic activity,he said.

Segee said that Venoco, the company thatfracked in Los Alamos, used 100,000 gallonsof water each time, which depleted the limit-ed resource available to the town whichdepends solely on the aquifer. He also usedthat number to demonstrate how much chem-icals companies inject.

“They say that it is 99 percent water. But ifit’s one percent of 100,000 gallons…that’s alot of chemicals,” he said.

He also cautioned that though fracking hasbeen around for decades, recent advance-ments to the technology have made it a newbeast.

But Tupper Hull, vice president for theWestern States Petroleum Association saidthat the methods 60 year track record inCalifornia should speak for its environmentalsafety.

“This is an issue that’s getting a lot ofattention, and, in our view, a lot of confu-sion,” he said.

Hull said companies are already subject to“robust regulations,” which they are very

responsive to. He said that the association isnot opposed to companies revealing theirchemical mixes to the public as long as tradesecrets are kept.

A California Bill, AB 591, seeking furtherfracking regulation is currently held up bythis catch-22. Talks will resume in January,said Hull.

Some said they would not be satisfied,even if companies were forced to take thisstep.

“I’m supposed to feel grateful that I knowwhat chemicals you put in the ground?” ques-tioned Chris Wrather, Chairman of the LosAlamos Planning Advisory Committee.

Bob Field, president of the Santa YnezRancho Estates Mutual Water Company, wasalso against an act now, ask questions laterapproach to fracking.

He said that testing water for chemicals isexpensive and could cost up to $3,000. Eventhen these tests might be too late, he said.

“What you would hope would be a canaryin a coal mine is a lot like Russian roulette,”he said. “The phrase ‘only one percent’should be stricken from the dictionary.”

Still, Hull said that fracking is a “breathtaking improvement towards a more energyindependent future,” and should not be takenoff the table.

Capps agreed with Hull that fracking hasgreat economic potential and will help withenergy independence, but said the issue need-ed to be addressed with “simple, commonsense.”

“If we’re not careful and we’re not pru-dent,” Capps said, “we won’t be prepared toprotect our health and environment.”
