Santa Barbara residents outraged over the death of a 15-year-old boy killed when he was hit by a car on Milpas Street lastmonth, banded together Wednesday night to demand that CityHall pay closer attention to the Eastside.
Sergio Romero was hit Oct. 7 as he was crossing an intersec-tion at Ortega and Milpas streets after dark. Many who spokeWednesday night at the Franklin Community Center said theneighborhood needs more attention, including better lighting,to prevent future accidents.
Sergio’s mother, Lupita Romero at Wednesday’s meetingdrilled authorities with pointed questions and piercing state-ments.
“How many lives does it take?” asked Romero. She said shedoes not want any other family to have to experience what herfamily has gone through.
“Whatever the cost is, the community should embrace that,”she said.
A large framed photograph of the music-loving teen holdingan electric guitar stood prominently at the front of the FranklinCenter.
About 100 people crowded in, lining the walls when seatsfilled up. Councilmembers Randy Rowse, Harwood “Bendy”White and councilwoman-elect Cathy Murillo attended themeeting.
The intersection lacks lights, a stop sign, and a stop light.Many people are now demanding that stop lights be installed inthe area. Milpas street is four lanes, lined with businesses, andexperiences heavy traffic. The large numbers of pedestriansfrom both Santa Barbara High School and Santa Barbara JuniorHigh in the neighborhood further complicates the area.
Despite a neighborhood push for the lights, city officialshave been hesitant to agree that that is the most viable option.
Santa Barbara traffic engineer Derek Bailey explained thathe has to follow a statewide manual of guidelines, which has“strong language” to indicate where it is preferable to putlights. He said a combination of traffic and pedestrian flow isconsidered, and the 42 pedestrians that cross Yanonali St., or 20
at Ortega St., during peak hours, is much less than the 100 perhour that is required by the state to recommend putting in thelights.
He also said that traffic lights are not always the best solu-tion, and do not guarantee 100 percent safety. He and officerHunt both strongly advocated individuals taking responsibilityto educate their children and to obey the traffic laws.
“It’s not the designs of the intersections, it’s an issue of peo-ple always being in a rush,” said Hunt. The driver who hitSergio was going over 50 miles an hour in a 35 mile an hourzone, he said.
But these responses did little to assuage those shaken bytheir own experiences. Romero said she did teach her son to besafe, and that he was obeying the law when he was hit.
“To come and tell us that all these studies work against whatwe want – I’m sorry, but at this point it’s unacceptable,” saidBeatrice Molina. “If it improves by only 60 percent that’s bet-ter than zero. I believe it’s that 60 percent that’s going to edu-cate the drivers.”
Several echoed this sentiment, and simply refused to believethat a creative and thorough solution could not be reached.Though traffic lights were the most popular item mentioned atthe meeting, several other suggestions including improvedlighting or flashing pedestrian lights.
“Anything we can do to slow down traffic, whatever we cando we should do it,” said Lito Garcia, principal of SantaBarbara Junior High, who expressed concern for his student.“There are some ways to make things happen. I work with rulesevery day.”
Joel Schwimmer mentioned efforts made in the Mesa neigh-borhood, such as bulb-outs and the work done to Cliff drive thatreduced traffic flow.
He said that he felt with effort, the city could apply that sameenergy to Milpas Street area. Having lived downtown for 8years and then moving to the Milpas area a year ago, he said hehas experienced a big difference between how safe the rest ofSanta Barbara feels comparatively.
“Other areas like the Mesa have had success in making traf-fic safer and calmer,” he said. “I feel that planners do care abouttraffic safety in this area and I’d like to see that happen here.”
As the meeting was going on, a petition for the installmentof traffic lights drafted by the Coalition for SustainableTransportation was floating around the room. Many expressedthe need for the community to be educated in their options andto take power by demanding to be heard.
“There is so much brain power in this room. Don’t let it gooff in separate directions,” said Tony Pessado. “Hang on toyour power and keep the pressure on.”

Retail giant Target has its sights set on get-ting a spot in the City of Goleta.
With general plan amendment applicationsin place, the superstore is working with cityplanners to review designs and discuss optionsfor a general plan amendment. City staff is alsostarting to look at the economic, social, andtraffic impacts a Target would have on Goleta.
The tentative proposal would see a two-story, 164,000 square-foot store near the cor-ner of Los Carneros Way and HollisterAvenue, not far from Goleta City Hall.
For over a decade the store has been tryingto make inroads into the Santa Barbara area.After striking out with the Santa Barbara CityCouncil on a location near the airport, the storebegan exploring the new location.
Los Carneros Way doesn’t have the sametraffic issues that the lot near the airport did,but still requires general plan amendments anda realignment of the road.
The current Goleta council has been reluc-tant to amend the general plan, but Target’sproposed location only requires a change fromone type of commercial zone to another.
Kareem Ali, real estate manager for Target,said the company has been looking to put in astore in the area for a long time. He noted thatthis is another step in the process and manystudies and reviews still have to be conductedbefore Target sets up shop.
“It’s probably going to take us a coupleyears to get all the questions answered,” Alisaid.
But the retailer enjoys a dedicated followingand for some Goleta residents, it can’t comesoon enough. Public comment at Tuesday’sGoleta City Council meeting saw universalsupport from the Good Land’s citizens.
Annette Winter said she makes regularTarget runs to Ventura where she often doessome additional shopping. She said she’sdropped large amounts of money that couldhave stayed in Goleta.
“I’ve spent almost $3,000 in the last fewmonths,” Winter said.
Even staunch Goleta anti-developmentactivist Barbara Massey urged the council toapprove the initiation. Massey said support fora Target is overwhelming.

NEWS IN BRIEFWhite House shooting suspect found
Police arrested a 21-year-old man on Wednesday suspected ofshooting at the White House last week, after federal agents found twobullets that had hit the mansion, including one that struck a window.
Oscar Ortega-Hernandez was picked up by Pennsylvania statetroopers at a hotel near Indiana, Pennsylvania, the U.S. Secret Servicesaid, some four hours drive time from Washington.
No one was hurt in the Friday night shooting and President BarackObama and wife Michelle were out of town at the time.
The Secret Service said the bullet that broke a window was stoppedby protective ballistic glass behind the executive mansion's historicexternal glass, said Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan. Theother round struck the exterior of the building.
The rounds were found on the south side of the White House,where the master bedroom and the Lincoln bedroom of the presiden-tial private residence are located, as well as other bedrooms andspaces that can be used by the first family.
Google launches music serviceGoogle Inc has turned on the music at its new online store,
aiming to wrest the lead from Apple Inc and Amazon.com Incin audio entertainment distribution despite the absence of amajor record label.
Google Music, with more 13 million songs, will be integrat-ed with Android Market, the company's online store for smart-phone apps and videos as it plays catch-up with its rivals.Apple, Amazon and Facebook have to varying degrees integrat-ed music into their core online and mobile products.
Google Music will allow the Web search leader to do thesame by letting consumers access music from various Internet-connected devices and easily share tracks with friends.
But analysts said the lack of soundtracks from Warner Music- a major label whose artists include Led Zeppelin and Prince,among others - will limit the appeal of Google Music.
"They've got to get that catalog filled pretty quickly," saidMike McGuire, an analyst at industry research firm Gartner.
Deficit committee talks in stalemateBudget talks in the Congress were locked in stalemate on
Wednesday amid the disclosure of a Democratic offer last weekthat drew no Republican interest.
With a deadline less than a week away, members of a 12-mem-ber "super committee" tasked with finding $1.2 trillion in budgetsavings over 10 years confronted the same barriers that havethwarted earlier efforts to rein in the growing national debt, whichcrossed the $15 trillion mark on Tuesday.
Aides with knowledge of the negotiations said Democrats, in anattempt to break the deadlock, offered to embrace someRepublican proposals including about $876 billion in new spend-ing cuts coupled with about $400 billion in tax revenues throughindividual and corporate tax reform.

We are officially in the holiday season now. Halloween is the gateway holiday which starts the
onslaught of holidays and in a mere 8 weeks or sowe’ll be spit out on the other end, not knowing whatreally hit us.
But in the middle of all if it, is my favorite holi-day. Thanksgiving is what I feel, holidays should beabout. It’s a day of friends, family, food and a timeto be thankful for all we have. There’s not the pres-sure of finding the perfect gift. It’s not drawn outby holiday parties, a celebration at one place oneday and another celebration somewhere else the nextday.
It’s a day and an opportunity to reflect on what isimportant.
Yes, it’s a great to have a long weekend, it’s great to sitaround stuff our faces and watch football. But when we gettogether with all of our relatives and overeat, maybe we canturn down the dial on some of the self indulgence and nega-tivity that seems to permeate so much of our conversations.Maybe we can take some time to remember how lucky allof us truly are. In the grand scheme of things, even themost disgruntled among us is living better than the greatermajority of our fellow inhabitants on the planet.
This year, I have a lot to be thankful for.The Husband: Before I met The Husband, I was com-
fortable with the idea of being alone. It wasn’t that I hadn’tmet any nice men, it was just that I hadn’t found one whodidn’t bug me. I was living a very independent life and Iwas cherishing all the freedom. But then, The Husband,who at the time was The Guy at The Bar, came into my lifeand turned it upside down. Meeting him and learning whatit means to commit our lives to one another is something forwhich I’ll always be thankful. Sharing the adventures of
parenthood with him makes it even more special.Fia: Having the chance to be her mother is a
special journey that I will always be grateful for.She’s a beautiful person who is going at fullspeed all the time. I am of course thankful forher health, but beyond that I am thankful for hershowing me the way and opening my eyes to somuch. She is wise beyond her years and teachesand amazes me every day. My parents: I am lucky to have both my par-
ents around and have them healthy enough tokeep up with the whirlwind of a busy five yearold. I am thankful to be able to have the insightinto what parenthood is about and to be able to
share that experience with them. The Friends: I have always subscribed to the philoso-
phy that my friends are the family who I have chosen. AndI have chosen wisely. I am amazed and humbled by theirtalent, kindness and love. There are many of my friendswho have been part of my life for a very long time and Ican’t be more thankful for having them there in my past,present and I’m sure future.Mom-things: Nap time for both Fia and me. This really
doesn’t happen anymore, but boy do I remember howthankful I was for naps. Teachers, need I say more?Crayons, Play-Doh and all things Nick Jr. Grandparents,babysitters and playdates.
Being potty trained and learning “how to hold it.” Thenew friends we have because of Fia. Date nights. DVDplayers in the car and watching the same movie a thousandtimes over. Cheese pizza, mac n’ cheese and pasta with but-ter. Target, even if I have to drive too far. Listening to thelaughter of a child and new babies.
So as we approach Thanksgiving think of those thingsyou are grateful for and may we give thanks to all that wehave in our lives. May we remember to help those aroundus in need. And may we remember that health, love andfriendship should never be taken for granted. And may webe thankful well past Thanksgiving Day.

Tom Friedman, The New York Times columnist,recently wrote a book with Michael Mandelbaumcalled, heart-breakingly, That Used to Be Us. "I willbe honest with you. It is our view that the Americandream is now in peril," he stated.
And he made his case in a recent speech:"America is the tent pole that holds up the world. Ifthat tent pole buckles or fractures, your kids won'tjust grow up in a different America - they will growup in a very different world," he said.
The subtitle of the book adds a note of hope:How America Fell Behind in the World It Inventedand How We Can Come Back.
Friedman frames his argument around theHomeland Security motto, "If you see something, saysomething." His main message is that we need to apply thatexhortation to the country as a whole. We need to call out thedangerous actions we see everywhere, especially in the area ofeducation, which is so vital to our democracy and our econo-my. If we see something wrong, we have to say so.
It's almost as though our country has suddenly become par-alyzed. Political gridlock, always a worrisome occurrence, hasrisen to a point where it has stopped us dead in our tracks.
Friedman cites China as one example of this reality. In2005, he said, getting to Tianjin, China involved a 3.5-hourcar ride from Beijing to a polluted, crowded Chinese versionof Detroit. Five years later in 2010, when Friedman attended aconference in Tianjin, he boarded a world-class, high-speedChinese bullet train that covered 72 miles in 29 minutes. Theconvention center was a massive, beautifully appointed struc-ture with a total floor area of 230,000 square meters.Construction of this began Sept. 15, 2009 and was completedMay 2010. Eight months. Right now, that couldn't happen inthe U.S.
When Friedman wrote his previous book in 2004,Facebook didn't exist. "Twitter was a sound, the cloud was inthe sky, and 4G was a parking place," he said. "Applicationswere what you sent to college. Linked In was a prison andSkype, for most people, was a typo." The world has changed,and the labor market has changed with it.
Friedman quoted John Jazwiec who has headed a variety oftechnology companies and startups, and who also teachesMBA courses. Jazwiec blogged, "I'm in the business of killingjobs...All of the companies I've been CEO of through best-in-practice services and software, eliminate jobs...by automation,outsourcing, and efficiencies of process. I have eliminatedover 100,000 jobs in the worldwide economy from the soft-ware and services my companies sell. I am a serial job killer."
What is a sustainable job? "As a job killer - that's me - asustainable job is a job I can't kill, and I can't kill creative
people. There is no productivity solution or out-sourcing that I can sell to eliminate a creative per-son. I can't kill unique value creators," wroteJazwiec.
The people who do non-routine work - journal-ists, dentists, doctors, physicists, computer scientists- for them the world works better than ever, saidFriedman. And that's where education comes in.
"What it means is that we have two educationalchallenges today. We need more education and weneed better education," he said. Average is over. In aworld where so many machines and available for-eign workers can now do average or better, thecurve everyone is being graded on is movingupward, he said. Average work will not return aver-
age wages anymore.Friedman says to talk about education you must ask
employers what they're looking for. He and his co-writerinterviewed employers in four categories: high-end white col-lar jobs, low-end white collar jobs, blue collar jobs, and greencollar jobs - the U.S. Army. All four said the same thing:They are looking for people who have critical reasoning andtechnical skills, who can adapt, invent, and reinvent the jobthey are doing. One CEO told them, "We want every worker,starting with the line worker, to be present, to be paying atten-tion, because that worker may have an insight that can driveenormous productivity or new products."
That means, said Friedman, that everyone has to find hisown unique value proposition. To become a creative lawyer, acreative columnist, a creative factory worker, a creative serv-ice worker, everyone is going to have to justify his or hervalue added. For some it will be inventing a new product orservice or reinventing an old one. For others it will be rein-venting themselves to do a routine task in a new or better way.
Mark Rosenberg, president of Florida InternationalUniversity, said it is imperative that we become much better ateducating students not just to take good jobs, but to creategood jobs.
Friedman has strong feelings about the current debates thatare raging in Congress. "We have to cut, we have to raise rev-enue, and we have to invest," he said. "But let's start the con-versation with what world we're in, not who can throw thebiggest number on the table, and be the most stubborn aboutsaving something or cutting something.
"It's an idiotic debate we are having, and it is unworthy ofour country right now and the responsibility we have to thefuture," he said.
"For all our ailments as a country and as a society, we arestill the most open in the world. Individuals with a spark of anidea, the gumption to protest, or the passion to succeed canstill get up and walk out the door and chase a rainbow, lead acrusade, start a school, or open a business."
He's absolutely right about that. We need to support what isgreat about our country, including its educational backbone.We need to draw lines in the sand and protect what we cher-ish.
If you see something, say something.

“Thanksgiving Graces” by Mark Kimball Moulton,illustrated by David Wenzel
c.2011, Ideals Childrenʼs Books$14.99 / $15.99 Canada 26 pages
For as far back as you canremember, your parents have taughtyou that sharing is the right thing todo.
You’ve always been told to letothers play nicely with your toysand look gently at your books. Ifyou have candy, you’re encouragedto give someone else a bite. Youmight share your day, a silly story, asnuggly blanket, a seat, or a box ofcolors.
When you have abundance, it’salways nice to share. And as you’llsee in the book “ThanksgivingGraces” by Mark Kimball Moulton,illustrated by David Wenzel, whenyou give, you also get back.
It’s Thanksgiving Day, and everyone’s getting ready. Theturkey smells soooo good in the oven and the whole family ishelping set the table.
Grandma’s making pies when there’s a knock on the door.It’s the neighbor, Charlie, and she asks him to stay for dinner.
There’s plenty of food and plenty of room at the table for him.Charlie says he’d be glad to stay, but only if Grandma andMom would let him pitch in and help. He rolls up his sleevesand plunges his arms into hot soapy water. Having someoneto wash dishes is always a big help.
When the door opens a minute later, it’sbig brother Jim, home from college and he’snot alone. He brought a friend, but that’sokay. There’s plenty to eat and lots of roomfor two more. Jim sneaks a taste of what’son the stove, and Mom laughs. Jim has donethis before.
Then everyone hears the sound of a hornhonking. Two more people arrive andGrandpa adds another table at the end.Another guest calls to see if she can bringher cousin and her mother. Every timesomeone asks if there’s room for an extra,the answer is always “Yes! Of course!”
But as the table gets longer and the roomseems smaller, one young host gets a littleworried. Grandma didn’t make a lot of pies.There weren’t many potatoes boiling on the
stove, and the turkey wasn’t very big – was it? Would therebe enough food at this Thanksgiving table?
Sometimes, particularly when you’re a kid, it’s hard to sep-arate the “thanks” of Thanksgiving from the legends, the

3 Stars – DisturbingThe multilayered depiction of J. Edgar
Hoover by director Clint Eastwood isinvaluable. To understand how one mancould create such a powerful institutionas the FBI while often illegally intrudinginto the lives of over two hundred thou-sand Americans requires more than asuperficial explanation. Such a manmust have had a singular compulsionthat began in childhood and remainedstrong even in the face of conflictingneeds and threats over decades of life ina changing political landscape.
Based on the screenplay by DustinLance Black (Milk), the complexhumanity of Hoover (Leonardo DiCaprio) is shown by inter-lacing his final days in power with his early years and focus-ing not only on his obsession to stop communists and radi-cals, but also on his own impoverished personal relation-ships.
The most important of those relationships was with hismother Annie (Judi Densch). His father was mentally ill anddied while Hoover was a young man, but his mother was apowerful woman who focused her aspirations on her youngson. Annie was both the reason for Hoover’s success and forhis dysfunction. Making it clear that she would rather herson be dead than gay, the implication of the film is that thevery person who made him who he became denied his sexu-ality. Although historians note that there is no evidence thatHoover was gay and that he had several romantic relation-ships with women, it is clear that Hoover’s interpersonal lifewas unhappy.
This dysfunction is seen most clearly in his relationshipwith the two primary supporters of his professional life andhis only friends, Helen Gandy (Naomi Watts) and ClydeTolson (Armie Hammer). When Hoover proposed to Gandyafter only a few dates, she explained that she was married toher work. He then hired her as his personal secretary, a posi-tion she loyally held throughout their five decades of profes-sional life, even serving him in his death by destroying hispersonal files as he had requested.
It is Hoover’s relationship with Tolson that is most oftenreferenced when claiming he was gay. Having both graduat-ed from the same law school, Hoover hires Tolson as his sec-ond in command and they are fused from that moment onand eat lunch and dinner together every day. Although thetwo bachelors may or may not have had a sexual relation-ship, they definitely had a relationship that was far beyondfriendship, as seen by Hoover’s bequeath of his entire estate
to Tolson. It was the support of bothGandy and Tolson that allowed Hooverthe insulated power he craved anddemanded.
In addition to these relational dys-functions, the film clearly presents thebrilliant though dictatorial way inwhich Hoover created a modern law-enforcement agency that brought feder-al power and scientific evidence intothis young field of criminal justice.Although he abused his power andattacked such notable social reformersas the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,there is no doubt that he was able tobring justice against both insurgents
and organized crime.Though he was a deacon of his Presbyterian church, the
film does not present Hoover as a religious person, and per-haps his Christian faith did not affect his morality and shapehis integrity as would be expected, but this may be more areflection of the writing and directing of the film than anaccurate insight into his life.
A sad and troubled man whose brilliance and determina-tion created one of the most powerful institutions in theworld, J. Edgar Hoover is better understood by the presenta-tion Clintwood makes in this film, though it is a disturbinglife he uncovers.
Discussion for those who have seen this film:1. When Hoover’s ambition is reinforced by his mother, it
becomes unhealthy. Do you think the actions he took basedon this unhealthy obsession made our nation a safer place?Why do you answer as you do?
2. The fused relationship of Hoover with Tolson is pre-sented in the film as being non-sexual but exclusive. Thisexclusive relationship is seen when Tolson goes ballisticwhen Hoover considers marrying the beautiful DorothyLamour, and so Hoover chooses to honor his relationshipwith Tolson rather than pursue Lamour. Why do you thinkHoover made that choice?
3. The secret files that Hoover is said to have had onfamous politicians were never found. The assumption is thatGandy destroyed them. Do you believe they never existedor that she destroyed them? Why?

plan amendment,” Massey said. The council got the message loud and clear.
Council member Roger Aceves noted thatwhile walking precincts, getting a Target ranksamong citizens’ top five concerns. He said theinitial plans laid out by staff looked promisingand couldn’t see a reason not to let the projectmove forward.
“What’s proposed here is a good startingpoint,” Aceves said.
Aceves also said the store could play a crit-ical role for the surrounding area, which is slat-ed for residential development. The store could
provide easy shopping and a convenient phar-macy. He also believed Goleta could pick upsome easy income with a new store.
“Some of my colleagues in the north say, ‘Ifyou don’t get it, we’ll get it,’” Aceves said.
Mayor Margaret Connell agreed that publicsupport merited letting city staff studying ageneral plan amendment. However, she cau-tioned that she wanted to see detailed reportsfrom staff and Target about the effects a storewould have before committing to amendingthe general plan.
“I am concerned about how this kind ofstore fits in with this portion of the communi-ty,” Connell said.
The council voted 5-0 for the initiation of anamendment study.

parades, and the fun. But this sweetly gentlelittle story, told in rhyme, explains the realmeaning behind why we gather.
In author Mark Kimball Moulton’s holidayhouse, there’s love, warmth, and welcome asthe table slowly expands to make room forevery new arrival. I loved the quiet worry in
the words of Moulton’s young narrator and Iloved the simplicity of Moulton’s story-poem,but neither would be the same without artistDavid Wenzel. One look at Wenzel’s illustra-tions, and you can almost hear the laughter inthis perfectly thankful book.
Two-to-8-year-olds will love“Thanksgiving Graces,” but I don’t think any-one of any age would mind a read-aloud thisholiday. Whether yours is a feast for two or afete for two thousand, this is a book to share.
