Politicalbarriers keepLatinos out

of officeBY ZAC ESTRADA

DAILY SOUND STAFF WRITERTen years ago, Gil Garcia felt victory within his

grasp. But after a last-minute surge by Marty Blum,Garcia’s dream of becoming the mayor of SantaBarbara faded away.When Garcia walked away from City Hall that day, it

would be the last time a Latino would walk City Hall asan elected official.But that soon could all change.Three Latinos are running for City Council in the

Nov. 8 election. Backed by the powerful DemocraticParty, Cathy Murillo is looking to become the firstLatina ever to serve. She’s joined on the ballot by less-er-known candidates Sebastian Aldana and CruzitoCruz.The three, whose campaigns are separate, represent

the first significant Latino presence in a City Councilelection in a decade.“There is an institutionalized racism here,” said

Garcia, a former two-term councilman and the lastLatino to serve on the council. “And because it’s insti-tutionalized, no one wants to do anything about it.”Garcia left the council in January 2002 because of

term limits, and after his mayoral bid fell short.Garcia said Latinos in Santa Barbara are worse off

now than they were when he left. A lack of attention tostrong policies and unwillingness to change inherentlybroken systems are to blame, he said.The issue of whether Santa Barbara needs a Latino

on the council has emerged as a focal point of a CityCouncil election with multiple storylines. Three conser-vative incumbents, Dale Francisco, Michael Self andRandy Rowse are running for re-election against liberalchallengers, Murillo, Iya Falcone and DeborahSchwartz. Aldana, Cruz, Sharon Byrne and JerryMatteo round out the 10-person ballot.The Latino candidates have separate platforms, but

they all share a common goal.The want to see the City Council better reflect the

community.Murillo would be the first Latina to serve on the

Santa Barbara City Council.Santa Barbara is a city where nearly four out of 10

people are Latino. The school district is overwhelming- Gil Garcia, councilman from 1991 to 2001, was the last Latino to serve on theSanta Barbara City Council. The local architect says Latinos in Santa Barbarahave become worse off than when he was still in elected office.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Hurricane Irene to hit EastWILMINGTON, North Carolina (Reuters) – North Carolina

braced on Friday for a direct hit from Hurricane Irene, citiesalong the east coast were on alert and millions of beach goerscut short vacations to escape the powerful storm.With more than 50 million people potentially in Irene’s path,

residents stocked up on food and water and worked to securehomes, vehicles and boats. States, cities, ports, industries, oilrefineries and nuclear plants scrambled to activate emergencyplans.“I filled my tank up with gas in case I need to leave in a hurry

or something, and get a lot of food supplies, taking everythingout of my yard ... anything that can fly into a window,” saidPatricia Stapleton of Newport, North Carolina.Irene, a major Category 3 hurricane, lashed the low-lying

Bahamas on Thursday and was expected to hit North Carolinaon Saturday before heading up the coast to New York andbeyond.At 2 a.m. EDT, Irene had sustained winds of 115 miles per

hour (185 km per hour) and its center was about 460 milessouth-southwest of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.Coastal evacuations were under way in North Carolina and

were ordered for beach resorts in Virginia, Delaware andMaryland. Airlines began to cut flights at eastern airports, madeplans to move aircraft from the region and encouraged travelersto consider postponing trips.

Brown shows off tax breaksSAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Aiming to spark job growth

in California, Governor Jerry Brown unveiled on Thursday pro-posals for tax breaks for businesses, including tax relief forcompanies that buy new manufacturing equipment.The Democratic governor also proposed expanding a tax

credit for small businesses when they add to payrolls.The two proposals are meant to appeal to Republicans in the

legislature’s minority whose votes Brown needs for his thirdproposal. It would scrap a convoluted tax break that the gover-nor said discourages companies from outside California fromcreating jobs within the most populous U.S. state.Revenue from closing the tax rule would fund tax credits for

new small business jobs and purchases of manufacturing gear,according to Brown’s office.At a press event in the state capital of Sacramento webcast by

Brown’s office, he said that scrapping the tax rule would notequal a tax increase, which Republican lawmakers adamantlyoppose.The tax rule was part of a deal struck by lawmakers in a state

budget deal in 2009 and Democrats want it shut to raise about$1 billion.

While finances threaten educationstatewide, students of public schools inGoleta and Santa Barbara returned toschool yesterday sheltered from thestorm.Goleta Union School District has

about 3,700 enrolled in 10 schools, andSanta Barbara Unified School District hasabout 5,500 elementary students and9,700 high-schoolers enrolled in its 22schools.As the state sinks deeper into econom-

with posters in schools with enoughteachers to go around. The bigger ques-tions in life saved for later, they insteadgot to ponder things like square water-melons.At least that’s what fifth graders at La

Patera Elementary did, said AllieSpeshyock, who is in the class. She saidthat the melons are grown in Japan to bet-ter accommodate refrigerator space.

Viewing the photo taken by her teacherwas surprising, she said.But even when not given the image of

a cuboidal melon, children were at leastfree to go about their usual inquires.“It was pretty much ‘When do we get

to eat? When do we get to play? When dowe get to go home?’” said Stacie Walters,a kindergarten teacher at La Patera.The entire day ran fairly smooth and

SOUTH COASTING

G-U-I-L-T should really be a four-letter word.Years ago, when I was in full-blown

rebellious teenage daughter mode, I jot-ted this quote down from KatherineLee: “If there’s anything that can matchthe heights of mother-love, it’s thedepths of mother-guilt.”Boy is that ever true.I was raised on a diet of guilt. Sure, it

was well seasoned with humor (which Imust add, so I won’t feel too guiltywhen my mom reads this), but guilt isso deeply embedded into my DNA that Ifeel guilty not having mastered guilt yet.I’ve spent most of my life making

important decisions based on the avoid-ance of future guilt. If I don’t finish thelaundry tonight then my son will haveto wear dingy underwear tomorrow.What if he gets in a car accidentbecause he has dingy underwear? Doesthe dentist really know if I skip onenight of flossing? If I watch “The NextFood Network Star” tonight instead of“Desperate Housewives” will I be per-sonally responsible for the end of script-ed television? What if I skip that oneschool board meeting and they vote tocut out recess? It never seems to end.Some days it feels like my whole life

has been one, big, guilty, mental dressrehearsal for all of the bad things thatmight happen if I don’t do all the goodthings I’m supposed to.Yet, despite so many years of good

girl-dom, goodwife-dom and gooddaughter-dom tan-gled with all thewoulda-coulda-shoulda catastro-phes in my head, Iam still surprisedby how entwinedguilt is with being amom.It’s not even

noon yet andalready the uglywheels of self-

recrimination are grinding against eachother in my head. When I dropped offKoss at school, I felt guilty for drivingmy big fat carbon footprint car (but Ican’t afford a Leaf or a Volt, so I feelguilty for not working more to makemore money). Then I felt guilty paying$4 for a latte when I had perfectly goodcoffee at home. But I hadn’t gotten upearly enough to make the coffee, anoth-er thing that made me feel guilty.Plus it was Beach Day so I made sure

Koss had sunscreen, a towel and hisown sandwich in case he didn’t like theones the other mothers made, but I was-n’t driving on the field trip and wasn’teven going to come to the beach untilafter lunch because I had to finish writ-ing a story first, which of course, I feltguilty about. Then there’s the fact that Ididn’t sign up in time to bring the sand-

wiches he likes, not to mention all thebaking I haven’t done for all the partiesand events in these last four years ofschool.It’s enough to make you drown in

guilt.Erma Bombeck once called guilt “the

gift that keeps on giving.” She was soright. I used to blame it all on my mom,who has an amazing ability to shootguilt darts with the slightest change inthe tone of her voice. Of course I feelguilty about blaming her, especiallynow that I realize that she couldn’t helpit.I’d blame my husband, but he doesn’t

care. Whoever said, “men feel guiltyabout nothing and women feel guiltyabout everything” clearly spent sometime with him.I finished the story but left dishes in

the sink and beds unmade in order makeit to the beach before the party wasover.The minute my son saw me he gave

me a huge grin and a hug. All that rush-ing and hustling was worth it after all.Then he hit me with the stinger:

“Finally you’re here, mom. What tookyou so long?”I couldn’t have said it better myself.

ly Hispanic and in some of the schools,nine out 10 students are Latino.But on the Santa Barbara City

Council, the most powerful and influen-tial agency in the city, there are noLatinos.Santa Barbara’s Latino residents rep-

resent more than a third of the city’soverall population of 88,410 based on2010 U.S. Census data. A decade haspassed since there was a Latino on thecity council and there has only been ahandful in the last half-century.“It just surprises me that in a commu-

nity with this large of a Latino popula-tion – some of the schools are up to 90percent Latino – that there isn’t a Latinoon council now,” Santa BarbaraCouncilman Grant House said. “In anycommunity it’s easy to get wealthy,retired people to represent us. There arepeople in Santa Barbara that have beenhere for generations and generations, buthave never seen people like them repre-sented on council.”There have been some council mem-

bers who have sought to representLatinos specifically over the years.House, Babatunde Folayemi and DasWilliams were all popular amongLatinos because of their civic and com-munity involvement.Mark Alvarado, executive director of

activist organization PUEBLO, said he’sdismayed there aren’t more Latinos in acity that celebrates its heritage so force-fully as Santa Barbara does.“We claim to be a city of diversity and

to really have that distinction you’repolitical representation should be areflection of that,” Alvarado said.In an election driven not only by par-

tisan politics, but also by sharp disagree-ments over how to handle hot city topicslike gang violence, homelessness andpublic safety, does race factor in? Or arecouncil members, regardless of racialbackground, able to represent all factionsof the community equally?Garcia said he was tapped to serve at

a time when the council – then made upof mostly moderates and fiscal conserva-tives – wanted a Latino on council.“I was active in the community, but I

was not doing it to get on council,”Garcia said at his home on SantaBarbara’s Upper Eastside. “My goal was

to help the community.” Garcia wasinvolved with the Rotary Club, UCSBand other local non-profits before beingon council. Before being named to thecity council, Garcia was deeply involvedwith the Santa Barbara Chamber ofCommerce.The two-term councilman, elected in

1993 and 1997 before finishing secondin 2001’s mayoral race, said his initialtask in the Latino community was toreach out to them.Garcia, who grew up picking fruit in

Goleta with his immigrant father and hashad his own architectural firm in the citysince 1977, said he and other Latinoshave developed “timidity” over theyears.“They’re a little afraid of authority,”

he said. “Some of them have lower self-

esteem in a Eurocentric society.”But Garcia said many in the Latino

community do not have the time to getinvolved in the community because theirsocio-economic standing keeps themworking most of the time.That’s why Garcia went on TV and

radio to reach out to Latinos. He said thebiggest issues Latinos in Santa Barbaraface is a lack of services and access toopportunities.“They don’t want handouts,” Garcia

said. “They want to have the opportunityto pull themselves up.”At the same time, opportunities have

been drying up. Garcia and Alvaradoagree the city has not done what it couldhave done to create good policies.“In the last 20 years, there’s been a big

push to increase our tourist identity, and thepriorities of the city have been what’s good forbusiness,” Alvarado said. “The needs of thecommunity as a whole have been pushedaside.”

MURILLO: GREAT LATINA HOPE?Of the three candidates on the ballot this

fall, Murillo stands the best chance of securingone of the three seats up for grabs. She’sbacked by the powerful Democratic Party andthrough July has raised more than $24,000 incampaign funds.In her campaign, Murillo has shared her

experiences being raised by her grandmotherwith her sisters in East Los Angeles. But theformer KCSB news director hasn’t made thefact she is Latina the cornerstone of her cam-paign.That’s a difficult line for candidates of color

to walk,” said Democratic Party chair DarakaLarimore-Hall. “Diversity is a good goal, butpeople are quick to dismiss you as a candidateof color.”Larimore-Hall said the Democratic Party

endorsed Murillo not so much for her racialbackground but because of her policies and“viability as a candidate.”Alvarado said Murillo is in a difficult posi-

tion.“She has to appeal to the broad spectrum of

the community,” Alvarado said. “She’s smartnot to come out and say she’s going to just rep-resent the needs of Latinos. You’re going to getcalled a racist if you come out and say you’rejust going to represent Latino issues. It’s amaz-ing how the race card gets pulled out.”The City Council election comes a year

after Monique Limon won a seat on the SantaBarbara School District Board of Trustees.Limon said she saw the misconceptions

people had about Latino candidates during herfirst campaign last year.“There’s a missed perception that a Latino

candidate will only represent the Latino com-munity,” Limon said. “At no time was thatsomething I ever said or thought. When yourun for public office, you represent the entirecommunity.”Limon said Latinos didn’t support her just

because she was a Latina; some didn’t supporther at all. She says she won her seat on thefive-person board because she came to repre-sent the voices of many people who felt theywere not heard at the school district.“We’ve sometimes pigeonholed issues into

one group or one interest,” Limon said. “It’sabout understanding that we all have differentexperiences – even in the Latino communitythere are lots of different experiences. Wedon’t all have the same views on government.It’s really important to have a spot at the tableto listen.”

NOT ALL LATINOS AGREEJoe Armendariz, Latino Carpinteria city

councilman and longtime conservative politi-cal activist, said local government needs peo-ple who understand policies that benefitLatinos.And those people may not necessarily be

Latinos.

“I don’t think a Latino needs to run in SantaBarbara for the sake of diversity,” Armendarizsaid. “On the other hand, there are a lot ofLatinos, who are successful and smart, whocan serve regardless of race.”Armendariz said Latinos need to empower

themselves to speak up about policies thataren’t beneficial to their community.“White council members probably reject the

idea that their policies aren’t good forLatinos,” Armendariz said. “But you’re nevergoing to have a white candidate – regardless ifthey’re Republican or Democrat – get up to aLatino candidate and say ‘My policies are bet-ter for Latino families than yours.’”

CURRENT COUNCIL OUT OF TOUCH?Garcia said no one on today’s Santa Barbara

City Council fully understands the needs of theLatino community, and it’s difficult for anycouncil member to unless they “have a foot inboth cultures.”Garcia and other officials believe many

issues hovering over Latinos affect the rest ofthe community as well.But he criticized the council’s conservative

majority, three of whom –Francisco, Rowseand Self – are running in this election.“I see a problem with some of the things

they’re doing because they’re trying to changethings regarding transportation that I did oncouncil,” Garcia said. “They’re trying to stopthings left and right, and yet it’s a policy.”He said a one-sided focus on cars has an

adverse effect on buses and bicycles. Thathurts many in the Latino community, who relyon those forms of transportation to get fromwork to home on a daily basis.Garcia said he’s seen other cities manage

gang violence by sending out “GrandmaPatrols,” or groups of neighborhood residentsto talk to gang members and better understandthe reasons for youth violence. He said SantaBarbara needs more outreach to find what poli-cies aren’t succeeding.The same issues stopping Latinos from get-

ting more involved in the community are alsostopping all working-class residents.“It’s very hard, not specific to Latinos, to be

in an elected position if you have to work a

PHOENIX (Reuters) – Arizona filed a law-suit on Thursday challenging a U.S. federalvoting rights law governing how the state con-ducts its elections.The Voting Rights Act, passed in 1965, out-

lawed discriminatory voting practices blamedfor the widespread disenfranchisement ofblacks, particularly in southern states.Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne, a

Republican, said that the portion of the lawrequiring the state to get prior approval fromthe Justice Department for any changes to thestate’s election laws exceeds Congressionalauthority and is unconstitutional.“The portions of the ... Act requiring pre-

clearance of all voting changes are eitherarchaic, not based in fact, or subject to com-

pletely subjective enforcement based on thewhim of federal authorities,” Horne said in astatement.In Arizona, Hispanics are the largest minor-

ity, accounting for nearly 30 percent of thestate’s population of 6.3 million, according toU.S. Census Bureau figures.Horne said the state had adopted bilingual

ballots in 1974. The same year, it become onlythe second state in the nation to elect aHispanic governor.In pressing the suit, he said Arizona has

been subjected to enforcement actions “forproblems that were either corrected nearly 40years ago and have not been repeated, orpenalized for alleged violations that have nobasis in the Constitution. That needs to stop.”

minimal.“Everything went really well, all the

kids were really sweet,” said Kathy Foss,who will take over when Walters goes onmaternity leave. “This experience is sonew to them.”But administrators have had to amp

efforts to keep that new experience posi-tive as the state tightens its belt.“We’ve had some major cuts, we had

to send back $2 million to the state thisyear,” said Kathleen Bloomer, GoletaUnion School District Superintendent.She said that because the district

receives more money in property taxesthan they would get in state funding, theyare required to send a proportionateamount of money back to the state to helpdistricts with less property tax revenue.The state started asking for money

three years ago beginning with about$880,000 that year and hiking in scaleuntil this year’s request of nearly $2 mil-lion.The district made minor cuts in sup-

plies and laid off 36 employees this sum-mer. Bloomer said that though she wouldrather the district not have to cut any-thing, making these decisions sparedthem from laying off teachers or cuttingcurriculum.“We’ve worked really hard to keep

cuts away from the classroom as much aspossible,” said Susan Epstein, vice presi-dent of the Goleta Union School Board.Instead the district has maintained

music, art and hands on science and tech-nology programs, she said. More andmore schools are also seeing garden pro-grams. She said her son came back fromhis first day raving about the height of thesunflowers and the experience of eating afresh picked tomato during lunch at theGoleta Union school he attends.Santa Barbara Unified School District

has had even more drama handed downby the state, but has similarly risen to thechallenge and minimized the effect onstudents.Last spring the district, which was pre-

viously split between elementary and sec-ondary schools, unified to avoid layingoff over 100 teachers.The union also saved them $10 million

in cuts over the next year, and generated$6 million in revenue.Barbara Keyani, spokesperson for the

district, told the Daily Sound last weekthat these decisions are enabling the dis-trict to weather the fiscal crisis. The dis-trict saw $20 million in cuts over the past4 years.Both districts are waiting to hear back

from the state regarding possible furthercuts if California does not raise $4 billion

it is counting on.That decision is expected to come this

winter, but the state has failed to meetmonthly goals recently. A lawsuit chal-lenging the decision by the state to take$1.7 million in Redevelopment Agencyfunds to prevent cuts to schools poses fur-ther setbacks.Santa Barbara Unified has decided to

add furlough days if cuts occur, butEpstein said Goleta Union probablywon’t have to do that.“We’ve been lucky enough as a basic

aid district and in having wise manage-ment not to have to go that far,” she said.Due to tight budgets in recent years

both districts have seen minor increasesin class sizes, with the largest in both atabout 26. But they also report a trend ofimproving test scores.“Even with budget cuts there are great

things going on,” Epstein said.Both districts will see several changes

and improvements next year.Due to local initiatives, Santa Barbara

Unified has a few major constructionprojects underway including the comple-tion of an Engineering Academy buildingat Dos Pueblos that includes a roboticsprogram. A bilingual program workingwith parents of disabled students is alsoin the works.The district will also bang out a new

strategic plan this year, which incorpo-rates citizen participation in formingguidelines. It also welcomes new superin-tendent David Cash.

Goleta Union also has new staff. Theyhired four new teachers and are startingwith seven substitutes due to retirementslast year. Foothill and Elwood elementaryschools both have new principals – MaryPost started at Foothill andAbby Vasquezat Elwood.This year, the district will further its

dedication towards the environment byphasing out plastic cutlery. Foothill madethe switch last year, and the remainingnine schools are expected to follow.Epstein said the district has won greenawards in the past, and that this is a wayof building on past efforts.Another trend of a less serious nature

might also continue: marbles.La Patera sixth-grader Angela

Takahara said she thinks the long timeplayground favorite might be making acomeback this year, though also said thata possible ban after a marble stealing epi-demic could prevent this.As for Silly Bandz, last year’s craze,

Angela said “I don’t think so.”A key element of the first day was the

mingling of parents, teachers, and stu-dents who hadn’t seen each other all sum-mer, said Cheryl Takahara,Angela’s momand a first-grade teacher at the school.“The morning is like a reunion,” she

said. But some were just as excited tojump back into the academic swing ofthings.Fourth-grader Audrey Ino expressed

exasperation at the day’s easy pace.“I can’t stand no homework,” she said.

The project consists of the installation of three 2,820 square foot prefabricated hangars on existingpaved aircraft parking ramp at Atlantic Aviation’s leasehold on Santa Barbara Airport property. Theproject would replace five aircraft tie-down spaces with three general aviation T-hangars (smallairplane hangars shaped like a capital “T”).

The newhangars will replace three older T-hangars that were removed as part of construction of the newAirline Terminal.

The discretionary application required for this project is a Coastal Development Permit (CDP2011-00008) to allow construction of three prefabricated T-hangars in the Appealable Jurisdiction ofthe City’s Coastal Zone (SBMC §28.45.009).

The Environmental Analyst has determined that the project is exempt from further environmentalreview pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Guidelines Section 15303(c).

APPLICATION OF JILL ZACHARY, AGENT FOR THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA, END OFMESA LANE, 041-033-ORW , E-3/S-D-3, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE/COASTAL OVERLAYZONES, GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: BEACH/COASTAL ACCESS (MST2011-00280)

The proposed project involves replacement of a portion of the Mesa Lane Stairs and its foundationon the beach that are damaged due to wear and tear from the beach tidal environment and thetypes of rebar and concrete used in its construction. The stairs have existed since 1982 and arean important beach access for Mesa residents. The existing stairs and support structures wouldbe replaced with new stainless steel stairs and handrails, supported by 12” diameter stainlesssteel piles in holes drilled into bedrock and grouted in place with concrete. The existing concretestairs would be replaced with new concrete stairs that would be founded about 4.5 feet into bedrock.The lower part of the stainless steel stairs would be supported by 12” diameter stainless steelpiles in holes drilled into bedrock and grouted in place with concrete. The concrete would be aspecific mix that is less subject to erosion by sea water and the rebar would be covered in a specialepoxy to minimize rust. The total footprint at beach level would be about 50 sq. ft. Dependingon funding, construction should occur in 2012 or 2013. It will be necessary to entirely close thestairs for the duration of construction. Construction will take about three (3) months, from the dayafter Labor Day to no later than November 30th. Construction staging will be at Arroyo BurroBeach County Park in the overflow parking area. Most construction will use the beach to accessthe construction area. Concrete trucks may pump concrete from the top of the stairs. If so, theywill be required to park on the path to the stairs to retain vehicular access at the intersection ofMesa Lane and Edgewater Way. Provisions have been included in the detailed project descriptionto avoid any effects from crossing the mouth of Arroyo Burro Creek.

The discretionary application required for this project is a Coastal Development Permit (CDP2011-00010) to allow the proposed development in the Appealable Jurisdiction of the City’s CoastalZone (SBMC § 28.44.060).

The Environmental Analyst has determined that the project is exempt from further environmentalreview pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15302.

full-time job as well,” Limon said.“These are similar issues for peopleunder the age of 45. They’re limited inwhat they can and can’t do.”

TIME FOR DISTRICT ELECTIONS?Garcia said he was an advocate of dis-

trict election for the city council, andsaid having four council seats representdistricts – alongside the mayor and twocouncil members elected at-large –would give certain communities a betterchance at fair representation.Limon also said there was growing

evidence district elections wouldimprove representation, but cautioned itwasn’t going to be be-all-end-all solu-tion. “District elections are something we

should explore, but it’s not an automaticfix,” Limon said. “It’s not going to auto-matically get Latinos elected to office.”PUEBLO’s Alvarado says there’s the

basic problem of getting Latinosengaged in the community again. “We have a civic engagement prob-

lem,” he said. “There are other things wehave to do to make it more inclusive.” Most officials and political analysts

believe more Latinos need to step up andvolunteer for boards and organizations in

order to prepare people who could becandidates in future elections. “Our approach to getting people to

step into leadership is based on volun-teerism,” House said. Larimore-Hall said there needs to be a

strong generation of Latino activistswaiting in the wings if there’s ever goingto be strong representation in local gov-ernment. “It’s an organizing project, it’s about

developing leaders,” Larimore-Hall said.“It’s about getting people in the pipeline,having people serve on boards and com-missions, recruiting more activists towork on campaigns. We need a long-term plan.”
