Santa Barbara Police DepartmentChief Cam Sanchez said yesterday thatauthorities have caught the man suspect-ed of robbing three downtown parkinglot kiosks in the last two months."The suspect in the kiosk robberies
has just been arrested," Sanchez told theCity Council, during a report to the panelat its weekly meeting.A masked gunman robbed three Santa
Barbara city parking lot attendants sinceJan. 3, causing a wave of panic and puz-zling police detectives.The latest robbery happened a week
ago at 4 p.m. at City Lot 7 across thestreet from the Santa Barbara CountyCourthouse.The crime followed a similar incident
on January 20, when someone robbedCity Parking Lot 4, 1100 Chapala Street.On January 3, a gunman stole moneyfrom City Parking Lot 2, 900 ChapalaStreet.Authorities said the gunman wore a
cloth over his face, grabbed cash and ranfrom the scene.Police are not releasing the name of
the suspect, pending further investiga-tion.After police released the video, a tip-
ster who saw the suspect’s images calledto provide the suspect’s name.Detectives investigated this lead anddeveloped enough corroborating infor-mation to take this suspect into custody.The District Attorney’s Office was
consulted to confirm the probable causeto make the arrest. At this point, addi-tional investigative work is underway,which may take some hours to complete.Additional information will be
released when available. Meanwhile,any additional information on the kioskrobberies will be accepted by callingSanta Barbara Police Detectives at 897-2355.
Occupy Santa Barbara getsanother crack at lawsuitBY KYLE ROKES
DAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENTOccupy Santa Barbara has a second
chance with a lawsuit against the city thatargues police actions last October violat-ed the group’s First Amendment rights.Police in October arrested eight people
who camped out in De la Guerra Plazaafter 10 p.m. Santa Barbara CountySuperior Court Judge Colleen K. Sterneon Monday agreed to allow the group'slegal counsel 10 days to amend the claim.Sterne said in court she wasn't pleased
with the initial claim.In response, Allen explained that any
shortcomings were due to him havingbeen sick for 45 days, and asked the courtfor some time to rework the document.Sterne granted the request and soon
after more than two dozen people in sup-port of the Occupy movement rose inunison and filed quietly out onto theSpanish-tiled halls of the courthouse.Attorney Joe Allen hinted at elements
of the soon-to-be revised lawsuit, includ-ing arguing against a perceived selectiveenforcement of city ordinances. He maymake the argument that the city favorsthe right to assemble for commerce overfree speech.Allen noted that on at least two sepa-
rate occasions people camped outovernight on parts of State Street, and nota single citation was written for anyoneblocking the sidewalk at either event.But in those instances, people camped
out to buy things.Once was to snag tickets for a
Twilight movie premiere and anothertime was to be one of the first in line fora new Apple product.“You can't pick and choose your caus-
es,” Allen said. “You can't suppress polit-ical activity and support commerce.”Allen also questioned the legal status
of De La Guerra Plaza as a park and hint-ed at whether the same restrictionsregarding overnight camping apply to it.
As a public space, the Plaza should bea free speech zone without any prohibi-tions, or so the argument goes.To be fair, that's only one interpreta-
tion and one with which City AttorneyStephen Wiley would beg to differ.To him, De La Guerra Plaza is a park
and any citations issued for unlawful actsin it is justified.“It's listed as one of the parks in the
city's Master Plan,” he said and addedthat it's been considered a park for thelast 150 years.“If they want to argue it isn't, we've
got five different ways to prove that itis,” he said.Wiley said both sides' attorneys had a
discussion and acknowledged that thecity would dismiss the citations, but withone condition.“If they will admit they violated the
law, then we'll dismiss the charges,” hesaid. OccupySB has until nextWednesday to file its new claim.

“Although the world is fullof suffering, it’s also full of theovercoming of it.” — HelenKeller
One of the perks of having acolumn in the Daily Sound isto have a forum for thankingcertain people in my life.Slowly mending from a
complex neck surgery that Ihad at Cottage in January, Iwould now like to publiclyacknowledge some fabulous folks inthis lovely community of ours.Before I get to the shout-outs, I'd also
like to make a small commentary aboutthe field of medicine. Many of us abuseour bodies and then expect the medicalprofession to bail us out of our jam.(Only to return to the same bad habitsthat created our problem in the firstplace.)We have heightened expectations
from our physicians and theiraides and I know they do thevery best that they can. Butremember, they are humantoo, and the healing arts canbe quite stressful for the heal-ers. After all, if I make a mis-
take in this article, the worstthat happens is a typo or somehurt feelings. If a surgeonmakes a mistake...well, need Iexpound. These people are a
special breed indeed.That said, now it's time for some
heartfelt appreciation to some of thewonderful healers that work here inSanta Barbara County. First, I wouldlike to thank Dr. Richard Kahmann andhis staff for their considerate patienceand professionalism. The astute doctoris also a sympathetic human being andhis co-workers reflect that pricelesshuman trait.
And now for the "Unsung HeroesAwards": Located at 4 South and 2North Cottage Hospital is a treasure-chest of wonderful nurses and aideswho treated me with dignity, kindness,and compassion beyond, what I felt,was their call of duty. Many, manythanks to Jasmine, Fran, Leann, Lupe,Christina, Melissa, and Francisca(please forgive me if I forgot any-one...those drugs left me a little side-ways). You guys rock.Whether or not we're in the medical
field, I believe all of us have somecapacity to heal. A kind touch, a smile, aquiet nod, a silly joke, a considerateresponse, a compassionate gesture; thiskind nature resides in all of our hearts.Release that goodness within and enjoythe pleasure of being a real humanbeing.

Your wants vs. your parents’ wants for you“Gypsy Boy: My Life in the Secret World of the RomanyGypsies” by Mikey Walsh; c.2012, Thomas Dunne Books;$24.99 U.S. & Canada 288 pages
BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYERTHE BOOKWORM SEZ
When you were very small, there wasn’t muchyou wanted.Clean diapers, a cuddle, and food made the short-
list early-on. Stuffed animals were slowly added,then siblings, books, and anything you could climbon.By the time you hit school, your wants became
more complicated. You wanted to be somehowfamous. You wanted to stay up late, snack beforedinner, and possess that cool toy you saw on TV.You wanted to grow up fast.Author Mikey Walsh wanted those things, too,
but he never wanted to become a fighter. As you’llsee in his memoir, “Gypsy Boy,” his father had otherideas…Mikey Walsh’s father was “fiercely determined”
to have a son.In Romany culture, having a male child was
everything – even more so for the Walsh family,which was known for generations of manly menwho were good with their fists. So, even though hismother was told that her heart condition precluded asecond child, Mikey followed his sister in succes-sion. Upon the happy event, Mr. Walsh hung goldenboxing gloves around his newborn son’s neck.Growing up, Mikey loved the dramatic. He and
his older sister, Frankie, enjoyed dress-up and pre-tending games. They loved watching TV and, large-
ly unsupervised, they played outside with theircousins, who lived on the same compound.It was an idyllic early childhood but at age four,
Mikey’s destiny caught up with him. His fatherdecided that it was time to start fight-training, andthe best way to do it was to beat the boy. His disgustat Mikey’s cries meant more punches.By age seven, Mikey was being “hidden” in
school, by his mother, which was an unusual move.Gypsies were mostly forbidden to mingle with“Gorgias,” and sending a child to a Gorgia schoolwas scandalous. It was her way of keeping Mikeysafe, though, and it gave him a chance at an educa-tion, which was something she didn’t have. Yet, thebeatings continued – always daily, sometimes more.By age 13, Mikey realized that he was gay, which
he knew would enrage his father.He also knew that he needed to escape before it
cost him his life...Stunned. Simply nowhere-to-go stunned. That
was me at the end of this book.Pseudonymous author Mikey Walsh lulls his
readers into first believing that they’re reading adroll memoir filled with quirky relatives and a secretworld that few have dared write about. Walsh bustsa few myths about Romany culture, pokes gentlefun at his family, and makes us laugh out loud whilehe’s doing it.But much like a cur that can’t be trusted, “Gypsy
Boy” turns quick and bites. Walsh takes the laughterand, two pages later, spins it with horror and apainful emotionlessness that only serves to under-score the brutality he describes – which ultimatelyleads to an end that shimmers like a tambourine.
Published in Europe three years ago, “GypsyBoy” is new stateside and absolutely can’t bemissed. If you’re up for a funny, brutal, sharp mem-oir, this is the book you want.
