SB looks to overhaul Cabrillo Ball FieldCity battles crime in park

BY JOSHUA MOLINADAILY SOUND EDITOR

Santa Barbara city and communityleaders will meet tomorrow night to talkabout ways to improve the Cabrillo BallField, a place known more for its drugdeals, prostitution and aggressive home-less, than for its baseball games.Largely prodded by the Milpas

Community Association, the city of SantaBarbara is looking to dramatically over-haul the recreation spot — with an eyetoward making it a community destination.“We have been looking at the Cabrillo

Ball Field for a long time to see how canwe make it a more vibrant park and howwe can make it a more useful place for thecommunity,” said Santa Barbara Mayor

Helene Schneider. “This is an essentialproject for the neighborhood.”The Cabrillo Ball Field, on the corner

of Cabrillo Boulevard and Calle PuertoVallarta, is the home to many organizedadult and youth sports programs.Among the ideas on the table include

building a dog run, handball and basket-

Italian eatery servesup new-old location

BY JOSHUA MOLINADAILY SOUND EDITOR

For more than 15 years, Petrini’s wasGoleta’s most popular family restaurant,before closing its doors in 1989.Now, 22 years later, the classic Italian

restaurant has returned, in its old spot onCalle Real, serving calzone, pasta and its“world-famous pizza.”“I basically did everything I could to

get back into that space,” said JoeBohnett, owner of Petrini’s. “Goletanshave been so great.”With its original “Wait to be Seated”

sign greeting customers, Petrini’s isback, and Bohnett hopes, better thanever.The restaurant opened its doors in

early January, but will celebrate its hope-ful return to restaurant glory withPetrini’s Italian Recipe Challenge.Petrini’s is inviting people to submit

their best original pizza or pasta dish bythis Friday. Three celebrity judges andthe customers will taste and judge therecipes beginning at 6 p.m. on March 2.The winner will get to his or her name

and the dish on the Petrini’s menu forone year. They will be able to eat thatdish free for a year, and appear in aPetrini’s television commercial.Runners-up will receive $50 Petrini’s

gift certificates.It’s a creative return for Bohnett, who

believes Goleta needs an affordable,quality, family-style restaurant.Bohnett is no stranger to restaurants,

Italian food, or even running Petrini’s.He has successful run the Santa

Barbara restaurant by the same name fornearly two decades.

He bought Petrini’s from the Petrinifamily in 1994 and has enjoyed tremen-dous success with the restaurant on CalleLaureles near Rite-Aid, formerly Long’sDrugs on upper State Street.He wants to create the same kind of

following in Goleta. But a lot haschanged since Petrini’s was popular inthe 1980s.Goleta residents have several more

restaurants to choose from along Calle

No more games, but Petrini’s is back in Goleta,bigger and better with a new recipe contest

TO ENTER THE CONTEST:Entrants must submit their best pizza or pasta recipes and a bit of history about them-

selves and the recipe by Friday, Feb. 25. They can submit their entries by mail, 5711 CalleReal, Goleta, 93117, or drop them off in person at the Goleta or Santa Barbara restaurant,14 W. Calle Laureles, Santa Barbara, 93105.

Deadly temblor rocks New Zealand(Reuters) —A strong quake killed and

trapped people beneath rubble andsparked fires and toppled buildings inNew Zealand's second-biggest city ofChristchurch yesterday afternoon.It was the second quake to hit the city

in five months.Local TV showed bodies being pulled

out of rubble strewn around the city cen-ter, though it was unclear whether any ofthem were alive. But police reportedmultiple fatalities after the 6.3 magnitudequake struck during the busy lunchtime."I was in the square right outside the

cathedral -- the whole front has fallendown and there were people running

from there. There were people inside aswell," said John Gurr, a camera techni-cian who was in the city center when thequake hit.Authorities ordered major hospitals up

and down the country to make room forquake victims but there was no word onhow many might have been killed orwere trapped beneath collapsed build-ings. There were reports of a shortage ofambulances.Christchurch's mayor described the

city of almost 400,000 people as a warzone. Emergency crews picked throughthe rubble, including a multi-storeyoffice building whose floors appeared to

have pancaked on top of each other."A lady grabbed hold of me to stop

falling over...We just got blown apart.Colombo Street, the main street, is just amess...There's lots of water everywhere,pouring out of the ground," Gurr said.Christchurch is built on silt, sand and

gravel, with a water table beneath. In anearthquake, the water rises, mixing withthe sand and turning the ground into aswamp and swallowing up sections ofroad and entire cars.TV footage showed sections of road

that had collapsed into a milky, sand-col-ored river running right beneath the sur-

There are only nine paintings in NicoRamirez’s “Portraits and Landscapes”exhibit, but he makes each one count.The exhibition at Casa Dolores ties in

to the organization’s mission of expand-ing the popular arts of Mexico, but theSanta Barbara-educated Ramirez said hisinspiration comes from the city itself.“This is an amazing town, it has many

things to offer,” Ramirez said. “One ofthe things most of all is art.”And so it makes sense for one of Santa

Barbara’s oldest icons, Mission SantaBarbara, to be the subject of the firstpainting to catch the viewer’s eye as theywalk in. “La Misión de Santa Barbara”captures the mission façade from aunique angle, snaking around the backfrom East Los Olivos Street. It onlyshows the side of the east bell tower, notthe sweeping view that most are used to.But Ramirez frames it with the green-

ery of surrounding trees with subtlebeams of light shining through theleaves. Ramirez said it’s a view that oftengets overlooked but before roads and citymaps, travelers would often come fromthe back hills and this’d be one of thefirst sights they’d see of the “Queen ofMissions”.His portraits also capture some signa-

ture Santa Barbara events. “Al Ritmo dela Músíca”(To the Rhythm of the Music)only shows the head and upper torso of aFiesta dancer, but the careful depiction ofan earring at the peak of upward swinggives the viewer a sense that Ramirez hascaught her mid-twirl.For those wanting a little more

abstraction there’s “El Nopal Que Cruzóla Cerca Para Dar Sus MejoresFrutas”(The Cactus Crosses the Fence toGive Its Best Fruits). A batch of cactusplants behind a chain link fence. Onepushes a branch through and sprouts itsfruits towards the viewer. It could sym-bolize crossing to America to offer one’sbest, or it could just be a clever take onstill life painting.The exhibit attracted a broad spectrum

of viewers. Verena Schendel, a materialscience researcher at UCSB, is used tothe grander galleries of her homelandGermany but still loves Ramirez’s work.“They are just wonderful,” Schendel

said.Monica De Alba, a Santa Barbara res-

ident who’s had children in some of theclasses offered by Casa Dolores and nowteaches a cooking class there, said thepaintings coupled with the other art dis-plays are a great experience for her andher children.

“I love to come here because itreminds me of Mexico,” de Alba said. “Ibring my children here so they canremember our roots.”Shelley Coldren, another local and an

artist herself, also said the paintingsbring back memories from her youth.“I grew up with some Mexican arti-

facts in my house so it’s really fun to seeit all together and delightfully arranged”Coldren said.Coldren also described the whole

experience as, “like going to Mexico.”The exhibit serves to compliment theadditional arts on display in at CasaDolores. Other rooms are crammed withnative arts and crafts from Mexico, rang-ing from solid pottery and sculptures, todelicate costumes and piñatas.Casa Dolores assistant director Irma

Esquivel-Kromis said “Portraits andLandscapes” is the first in a series of

exhibits featuring local Hispanic artists.Ramirez came in one day to view theplace and he happened to mention toEsquivel-Kromis that he was an artist.“We were looking to expand,”

Esquivel-Kromis said. “So this is a firstchance for us and for Nico.”With his camera by his side, Ramirez

plans to continue painting landscapesaround Santa Barbara, plans to sell hispieces down by the beach, and hopes hisartwork will give back to the city thatinspired it.“I hope that I can give something that

the rest of the United States—and hey,why not the whole world?—will say‘Hey, there’s a place we want to go to,’”Ramirez said.“Portraits and Landscapes” displays

February 19th—March 31 at CasaDolores, 1023 Bath Street. OpenTuesday—Saturday from 1—4 p.m.

NEWS IN BRIEF

US Crude oil hits 2.5 year highU.S. crude futures hit a 2-1/2 year high yesterday on concern

that violence in Libya could cut more of the OPEC-member'soutput and that a similar story could play out in other top oilproducers in North Africa and the Middle East.As deadly clashes wracked Libya's biggest cities, one inter-

national oil firm shut down as much as 100,000 barrels per day(bpd) of output, about 6 percent of output in Africa's third-largest producer.Other big oil firms said they were withdrawing staff as

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi fought to hang on to powerand dozens were reported killed in the capital, Tripoli.U.S. crude for March delivery, which expires on Tuesday,

touched its highest since October 2008 at $94.49 a barrel. Thecontract trimmed gains later to trade at $92.96 a barrel, still upmore than $1 from late Monday.

Blockbuster gets $290M bidMovie rental chain Blockbuster Inc, which filed for bank-

ruptcy last year, said it has started the process to sell itself andhas entered into an agreement with "stalking horse" bidderCobalt Video Holdco for $290 million.Cobalt is a limited liability company formed by funds man-

aged by Monarch Alternative Capital LP, Owl Creek AssetManagement LP, Stonehill Capital Management LLC andVärde Partners Inc.A "stalking horse" bid is used as a starting bid or minimally

accepted offer that other interested bidders must surpass if theywant to buy the company.Cobalt has agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets

of Blockbuster and its U.S. and international subsidiaries for$290 million, subject to adjustment.

Datamay have understated collapseA housing trade association is examining the possibility that

the data it releases underestimated the collapse of the housingindustry, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.The National Association of Realtors, which issues the

monthly existing home sales report that is closely watched byeconomists and financial markets, may have over-counted homesales dating as far back as 2007, the newspaper said in an arti-cle posted to its web site. NAR's home sales count was at oddswith calculations by CoreLogic, a California real estate analysisfirm, according to the report. CoreLogic says NAR could haveoverstated home sales by as much as 20 percent.An over-count of home sales may mean that there is a bigger

backlog of unsold homes and that it will take longer for the U.S.housing sector to climb out of the deep hole it is already in,dragging on the broader economic recovery.

For more than three decades,Antioch University’s SantaBarbara campus has been partof the higher education com-munity on the central coast,and also part of the rich cultur-al and intellectual tradition ofan historic, national academicinstitution.Originally a single campus

college, founded in YellowSprings, Ohio in 1852,Antioch’s history includes animpressive list of “firsts,”which are consistent with theprogressive values deeply embedded inSanta Barbara. Antioch was one of thefirst coeducational colleges to offer thesame curriculum to male and female stu-dents, and the first to grant a tenured pro-fessorship to a woman.Antioch was also one of the first his-

torically all-white colleges and universi-ties to eliminate race as an admissionrequirement, and to actively recruitAfrican American students. In addition,

during the 1950s, Antioch’sadministration stood up to pres-sure from the House Un-American Activities Committeeby refusing to expel studentsand faculty accused of havingcommunist leanings.More than two decades ago,

a William T. Grant Foundationreport described the “forgottenhalf,” referring to thoseAmerican youths who did nothave the privilege of highereducation and therefore were atrisk of being denied full partici-

pation in society.Today, education has become more

essential than ever and, yet, it hasbecome inaccessible in new and differentways, as students juggle multiple rolesand responsibilities and contend withnew social and economic challenges. Myvision as Antioch’s new presidentincludes creating and growing opportuni-ties for students who are confronted bythese new realities, and developing meth-

ods to assist them in taking advantage ofthese innovative and flexible options.Students’ busy lives and diverse

responsibilities require institutions toprovide new means of access, to enablestudents to fit education into their lives,rather than expecting them to fit theirlives into the possibility of an education.Because the majority of students financetheir own educations, they must have theflexibility to attend classes scheduledaround their work and availability.Students tell me they want and mustattend classes at varied times, usingdelivery models that meet their needs. AtAntioch, increased weekend and eveningofferings, along with online and hybridcourse options, will help them to meettheir educational goals. We must also usenew technologies to facilitate inquiries,academic planning, and other studentservices.Our alumni say they have been trans-

formed by their Antioch Santa Barbaraeducation, and I am determined to ensure

Do you know why you drink?

You have unique reasons for doing what you do. Maybe you want to quit or gradually moderate. We'll help you make a real change in a safe, non-judgmental environment ...at a pace you control.

Railing against the pettytyrannies of local governmentshere in America seemsinsignificant compared to thestirring efforts of the Arabworld’s oppressed masses tobring down tyrannical govern-ments there and to win free-dom, civil rights, and justice.But, just as having a little can-cer cannot be ignored neithercan little tyrannies be ignored.Both will grow more severe,pervasive, and eventuallymetastasize.Ultimately, freedom, civil rights, and

justice are about personal choice andexpression that does no real harm toothers. Tyranny is about elitism, greed,and self-certain opinion that insists oth-ers live their lives and make personalchoices within the confines of that opin-ion.Those who choose otherwise are con-

demned as outlaws subject to punish-ment. Human history reveals that whilefreedom is almost universally desired, itis constantly under assault by competingdesires for order and security. Mostdemocracies have not been long lived,eventually eroding into some form ofauthoritarianism.This process of erosion is occurring

here in America where all levels of gov-ernment, federal, state, and local, steadi-ly corrode constitutional rights andaccrue more power, and wealth, untothemselves. Their justification for this isthat the general welfare is threatened by

some external or internalforce, or that the general wel-fare can be improved byimposing restrictions on per-sonal freedom—the busybodyfactor. Terrorism is an exam-ple of an external threat justi-fication. It has given us theinsidious Patriot Act and TSAmuggings. The war on drugs isan example of the internal. Ithas given us a virtual policestate with home invasions,property confiscations, and

massive incarcerations for victimlesspersonal choice.The busybody factor is often found at

the local level. The city of SantaBarbara provides some of the moreillustrative examples of that. This nar-cissistic, seaside town is recognized asone of the planet’s most beautifulplaces. Some say it is the best place onearth. So, imagine the pressure thatelected officials and the self-anointedcommunity stewards have to conserveand polish the “best place on earth.” Itis a busybody’s paradise because thejustifications for meddling are ostensi-bly so noble and altruistic.Nevertheless, abrogation of victim-

less personal choice is tyranny no mat-ter what the justification for meddling.The lifestyle preferences, even of themajority, are not sufficient rationale tosubvert the freedom of the individual.But, that is what official Santa Barbaradoes so well with its labyrinth of com-missions, committees, and boards

enforcing volumes of prescriptivemunicipal ordinances.One of the most egregiously intrusive

of these is the city’s tree ordinancewhich prohibits property owners fromremoving or extensively trimming theirown trees that are within 30 feet of thecity’s streets. The city does not ownthese trees. It did not buy them or payfor their nurturing and maintenance, butwith this ordinance it has effectivelyconfiscated them. The justification forthis usurpation of personal freedom isthat the city’s “urban-forest” is anessential element of the city’s aestheticsthat benefits the entire community. Theindividual property owner’s rights andgardening preferences are forfeit to themajority’s alleged preferences as articu-lated through the city’s busybodies.If a citizen loses his or her view, or

suffers falling litter, or critter infestationfrom his or her tree, too bad. If a citizenwants to rearrange his or her garden andremove a tree, too bad. If the busybodyautocracy can impose this proscription,it can also dictate what color you mustpaint your house or that you must paintyour house, or what kind of hedge youcan plant—all justified by protectingnotions of community aesthetics.If all politics are indeed local, we can

start there to stop petty tyrannies frombecoming cancerous.

ball courts, a fenced-off baseball field, ora track around the field.The proposed changes come at a time

when the city is scrambling to find waysto get a handle on its homeless problem.The city’s warm climate, along with

the generally tolerant attitudes amongdecision-makers and social activists,has helped make the city a safe andcomfortable place for the homelesscommunity.But organized business owners in the

Milpas area have recently becomeincreasingly intolerant of the homelessand the aggressive panhandling in thearea.They have pressured the city to step in

and address the homeless problem andhave called for more police enforcement.City leaders responded by putting up a

partial fence around the back-stop of theCabrillo Ball Field. So far, the fence hasdone a lot to keep the homeless out.“The MCAhas definitely seen marked

improvement since the fencing exer-cise,” said Sharon Byrne, president of theMilpas Community Association.Byrne said she has noticed more peo-

ple walking their dogs there and havingimpromptu soccer and evening baseballgames.We are excited to be a part of the

process and to have input in the commu-nity transforming that park into a vibrantrecreational area,” Byrne said.The city’s Parks and Recreation

Department is now considering renova-

tions to the restroom, new lighting, newrecreational opportunities, new landscap-ing and other changes at the site.Mayor Schneider said that the

RedevelopmentAgency would likely payfor the improvements to the ball field.Schneider is hopeful that the city can

re-energize the area.“If it can be designed to encourage

lots of positive use from the communitythen some of the other issues that we areconcerned about related to public safetywill improve,” Schneider said. “If thereis something we can do structurally toenhance the park, then let’s do it.”FYI:

The meeting is at 5:15 p.m.,Wednesday, Santa Barbara City Hall,735 Anacapa Street.

in New Mexico found whatshe insisted was an image ofMother Mary on her burnt tor-tilla. A shrine was created andworshipers came by the thou-sands to pay homage. A simi-lar episode a few years ago in

India created a human devotional stam-pede when milk started dripping myste-riously from a statue of Vishnu.Look, you can believe what you what

to believe. What is sacred to you is yourbusiness.

I realize that most of us want to feelreassured that a supreme power touchesus and is concerned about our wellbeing. And many of us look for signsfor that confirmation.My question is, why seek any further

than our own hearts? Does not the mostbeautiful reside in us? Are we not thedaily recipients of the most preciousgift?There is a sign always shining bright-

ly in the depths of our being. It's mes-sage is unambiguous and has no hiddenagenda; we are alive and the mostamazing miracle is taking place everymoment of this life.

NEWSAllied gives $10k to Goleta Historical Society

DAILYSOUND STAFFREPORT

Allied Waste Services continued its gener-ous ways this week with a $10,000 donation tothe Goleta Valley Historical Society.The money will help “support the preserva-

tion and restoration of a historical landmark inGoleta.”“Rancho La Patera and Stow House are

remarkable pieces of living history in ourcommunity,” said Stephen MacIntosh, generalmanager of Allied Waste Services. “It’s a localtreasure, and we are proud to help preserveGoleta’s rich history through this contribu-tion.”The Goleta Valley Historical Society pro-

vides educational field trips for students andguided tours of Stow House, built in 1872. It islisted on the National Registry of HistoricPlaces and is one of the oldest landmarks inthe Goleta Valley.Founded in 1966, the Goleta Valley

Historical Society collects, preserves, inter-prets and fosters research of the GoletaValley’s history through exhibits, programsand stewardship of the historic Rancho LaPatera, home to the Stow family.

The money will help support the HistoricalSociety’s educational programs, museums,maintenance, and restoration of the gardens,research, and special events.

steal the $5 million county contract.The county is currently reviewing proposals

from both companies to haul trash for theEastern Goleta Valley. Stephen Macintosh of Allied Waste Management presents a check to Anne Petersen of the Goleta Valley

Real, as well as the Camino Real Marketplace.Bohnett believes Petrini’s has something

special to offer.“I want to be the local Goleta, family restau-

rant,” Bohnett said. “I want to be a place wherepeople from Goleta can come and be withfriends.”Bohnett boasts of the popularity of Petrini’s

pizza. He said he has over-nighted pizzas toDenmark. People, he said, come from all overthe world to eat Petrini’s pizza.Still, no introduction into the marketplace is

ever perfect.Bohnett admits that among some of

Goleta’s younger diners, he’s not among themost popular restaurateurs. But it has nothingto do with the food.Petrini’s replaced Luigi’s Italian restaurant.Luigi’s was a popular destination for kids

because it offered arcade games, withredeemable prizes.

Bohnett eliminated the games.“I didn’t want to be the Chuck E. Cheese of

Goleta,” Bohnett said. “There are a lot of 5, 6and 7-year-olds who are mad at me. But thereare a lot of parents who are glad they don’thave to feed the machines with quarters.”Instead, the new Petrini’s offers a room for

special events such as birthday parties, with asatellite television connection and an Xbox360 for guests.Others are excited about the return Petrini’s.“It’s great,” said Goleta Mayor Margaret

Connell. “Petrini’s belongs in Goleta.”Connell recalls that during the restaurant’s

first run in Goleta that her husband broughthome a pizza home for her and the kids. Shelearned later that he actually dropped the pizzaoutside, managed to scoop back up and put itin the box, and brought it home.She didn’t find out until years later.“I am glad they are back,” she said. “It’s a

place where families can gather and enjoy eat-ing together. Restaurants like this are tremen-dous community builders.”

face. One witness described the footpaths aslike "walking on sand.”Unlike last year's even stronger tremor,

which struck early in the morning when streetswere virtually empty, the streets, shops andoffices were thronged with people when theshallow tremor hit. It hit at 12:51 pm at a depthof only 2.5 miles, according to the U.S.Geological Survey's Web site.

"It's huge, it's just huge," a priest told a TVreporter outside the remains of the city's stonecathedral, part of which had been reduced to apile of large sandstone blocks."I just don't know whether there are people

under this rubble," he said, before he appearedto add in a quiet voice: "I think so."Prime Minister John Key, who called an

emergency cabinet meeting for later in the day,told parliament he could not rule out casual-ties: "We are aware of significant damage tobuildings that had people in them at the time."

that motivated and qualified studentshave increased access to that transfor-mative educational experience. To doso, we must also increase access bygrowing our scholarship funds andfinding ways to diversify sources ofrevenue in order to control rising edu-cational costs.For example, our “Bridge Program”

represents a close relationship withSanta Barbara City College thatenables students to transfer up to onefull year more of academic credit thanis accepted by our state college anduniversity systems. Our “earlydecider” option allows students tocomplete some of the coursework forthe teaching credential concurrentlywith undergraduate requirements,allowing students to enter the job mar-ket earlier than otherwise possible.Partnerships and institutional flexibili-ty have become increasingly importantas economic realities pressure our stu-dents, while options to transfer to statecollege and university systems havebeen severely constrained.At a time when the wise use of

resources avoids redundancy and sup-ports mutual sustainability, the entirecommunity will benefit from ourunique new collaboration with HuttonParker Foundation, which has hadenormous impact by purchasing com-

mercial real estate and providing long-term leases to non-profits that assistthem in “achieving the highest level ofperformance and delivery of services.”The Hutton Parker Foundation

recently purchased the building at thecorner of Anacapa and Cota Streetsthat will soon become our new cam-pus. This highly visible and accessibledowntown location will have a vibrantand inclusive interior design that willmeet future educational needs in ourcommunity.It will provide for enrollment

growth and the classrooms and officesnecessary to accommodate and supportthat growth and increase access tohigher education in Santa Barbara. Theexciting interior will have spaces forstudents and faculty to easily engageand collaborate, as well as for commu-nity meetings and special events. Ournew library space will use best prac-tices in information literacy, providingaccess to what the world’s librariesoffer. Forward thinking technologywill enhance real-time contact andremove barriers of distance and time.This special partnership marks thedevelopment of our campus, a devel-opment enhanced by our 30-year repu-tation in Santa Barbara and more than3,500 passionate campus alumni.Margaret Mead said that we should

"never doubt that a small group ofthoughtful, committed citizens canchange the world."
