Schwartz event angersMilpas business owners

The president of the Milpas Community Association hasfiled a complaint with the state Fair Political PracticesCommission, charging that a new group is deliberately trying toconfuse voters and trick them into voting for candidateDeborah Schwartz.

“I think it ridiculous that someone is trying to use the goodname and message that we have worked so hard to build overthe past 10 months or so, to confuse voters into voting forsomeone who we have no intention of endorsing,” AlanBleecker, president of the Milpas Community Association, toldThe Daily Sound.

The political drama centers on letters that went out a weekago.

The letter urges people to attend a home on the Riviera andto “bring your checkbook” to donate money to the Schwartzcampaign “if you like what you hear and see.”

A group calling itself the “Milpas-Riviera Co-Op” blanketedbusiness on the Milpas corridor with the letters.

“We are on a mission to make our neighborhoods safe andour visits to the Milpas Street Corridor a pleasant, hassle-freeexperience,” the letter states.

The letter goes on to say, “We have evaluated all the candi-dates in the upcoming Nov. 8 elections. One stands out as par-ticularly qualified to serve our Milpas-East Side/Riviera neigh-borhoods’ best interests: Deborah Schwartz.”

The letter shocked many Milpas business owners who hadnever heard of the “Milpas-Riviera Co-Op” or wonderedwhether it was some branch of the MCA.

Schwartz is not a member of the MCA, and one of her rivalsin the race, candidate Sharon Byrne, is executive director thegroup.

“This is a joke,” said George Trujillo, owner of ClassicBarber Shop on Milpas Street. “They are just using Milpas toget votes.”

Schwartz said she didn’t see the letters before they went outand that the couple hosting the event just wanted to host a littleneighborhood meet-and-greet, but that “they did this all on theirown.”

Schwartz’ campaign manager Patrick Dennis said that the

group was not formed as a front for Schwartz to covertly getsupport from Milpas residents.

“As you know from speaking with Barry and Ann directly,they are simply concerned residents that want to make a differ-ence,” Dennis said. “They took it upon themselves to organizetheir neighborhood in support of Deborah because the currentcouncil majority has failed on the core issues people care about– public safety, the budget and economy. Plain and simple.”

The couple behind the letters is Barry Keenan and Anne H.Rojas. They have been married a couple of years and were mar-ried by Schwartz’ mother Naomi Schwartz, a former SantaBarbara County Supervisor.

The two said that they support Schwartz and that they sim-ply wanted Milpas business owners to come meet withSchwartz at their home.

Rojas and Keenan said that they didn’t know Byrne was acandidate for City Council.

In fact, Rojas said that she called Byrne about 4 months agoto ask about the work MCA was doing.

“I never got a call back,” Rojas said. “So I thought maybe weshould just start doing stuff on our own.

Rojas said that that MCA is not advocating for the Riviera,even though the Milpas area is where Riviera residents shouldbe able to shop without fear.

“For the first time, I am feeling uncomfortable going into theMilpas area,” said Rojas, a 15-year-resident. “We have lots ofpeople who go to Trader Joe’s on De la Vina or in Goleta. “Alot of people feel like they are losing their city.”

Keenan, who said he has lived in Santa Barbara about sixyears, after working mostly in Texas, said Schwartz is the idealcandidate to represent the Riviera and Milpas areas.

NEWS IN BRIEFImmigration law partial win

A federal judge on Wednesday blocked parts of Alabama'scrackdown on illegal immigration but let stand a provisionrequiring public schools to determine the legal residency ofchildren.

The Alabama law is widely seen as the toughest state meas-ure on illegal immigration, and supporters hailed the judge'sdecision as "a great victory."

Chief U.S. District Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn ruledthe state could require police to detain people suspected ofbeing in the United States illegally if they cannot produce prop-er documentation when stopped for any reason.

She also refused to block a provision requiring public schoolsto determine, by reviewing birth certificates or sworn affidavits,the legal residency status of students upon enrollment.

Tuscon Fed building evacuatedAuthorities closed a three-block stretch of downtown Tucson

and evacuated a nearby federal building on Wednesday after asuspicious vehicle was spotted by U.S. Marshals, police said.

A search of the vehicle, a white box truck, turned up severalmetal boxes of ammunition and duffel bags filled with clothing,Tucson police spokeswoman Sgt. Maria Hawke told Reuters.

"There's no indication that there are any explosives inside thevehicle," Hawke said. "We're continuing our investigation, butthere is no threat."

She said investigators were speaking to a "person of interest"about the truck and that the man was cooperating with investi-gators. He was not taken into custody.

Police later gave the all-clear and opened a major street totraffic, but kept part of the area roped off as they processed thevehicle for evidence.

Probe seeks blackout recordsThe group that oversees the power grid serving the Western

United States has requested potentially sensitive market infor-mation as it investigates the Sept. 8 power outage that left 7 mil-lion people in the dark in California and Arizona, the Californiagrid operator said on Wednesday.

The California Independent System Operator warned marketparticipants the Western Electricity Coordinating Council hasasked for operator logs and recordings of control room conver-sations from 12:30 p.m. PDT (1930 GMT) Sept. 8 through 9a.m. Sept. 9. The blackout knocked about 4,300 megawatts ofgeneration offline, including the two-reactor San Onofrenuclear power station in California.

It was triggered when an employee of Pinnacle West CapitalCorp's Arizona utility working on faulty equipment at a Yumasubstation caused the failure of a high-voltage transmission linethat supplied electricity to Southern California.

City council candidateforum has safety focus

Seven candidates for Santa BarbaraCity Council went before the GreaterSanta Barbara Lodging and RestaurantAssociation and the Chamber ofCommerce on Tuesday to discussimproving business, public safety, andthe environment.

The forum at Fess Parker’sDoubleTree Resort consisted of incum-bents Dale Francisco, Randy Rowse, andMichael Self as well as the threeDemocrat-backed candidates, formercouncil member Iya Falcone, journalistCathy Murillo, and planning commis-sioner Deborah Schwartz.

It also included Milpas CommunityAssociation Sharon Byrne who’s run-ning as an independent.

The forum added a unique formatwhere candidates would answer somequestions by holding up cards markedwith a “YES” or a “NO”.

While the topics ranged from improv-ing business to creek projects, publicsafety became the main focus for thecandidates.

Public safety, especially with regardsto the homeless population, has been anissue with the hospitality industry whichhas claimed that aggressive panhandlinghas been scaring off tourists. Many can-didates cited increased public safety asbeing one of the ways to improve

tourism in Santa Barbara.The incumbents, focusing on a more

united front, trumpeted getting five newpolice officers added to the force.Francisco, the leader of the council’sconservative bloc, said this had been thefirst time the council had added in sever-al years.

“For the first time, with I might addthe help of Randy and Michael, we actu-ally increased the number of officers onboard,” Francisco said.

Falcone stood by her previous recordon the council. She said that it takes 18months to two years to get new officerstrained up and every officer currently onthe street is there because of work fromprevious councils.

“Anybody you see currently or new,that was done at least two-and-a-halfyears ago,” Falcone said.

Byrne, an outsider whose campaigntook off after she gained the support of

public safety unions because of her com-munity activism, said there should be agreater police presence in the more pop-ulated tourist areas such as downtown,the waterfront and Milpas corridor.

“I’m hearing a lot from business own-ers that conditions that exist presentlyare intolerable,” Byrne said.

Murillo disagreed. She said the cityneeded better policing, rather than morepolicing. She said more restorativepolicing and building stronger relation-ships between police and members ofthe community would go farther thanjust more officers.

“I’d like to see everyone respectingour police and not wondering what’sgoing on within the department,”Murillo said.

Schwartz also lauded the restorativepolicing. She reported that in a ride-along with one officer, two of the sevenhomeless individuals they spoke withare now in the process of being reunitedwith their families.

She also said the city needed to lookinto the effects of the bar and clubscenes, saying that fights and drunks tie-up too many officers on weekends.

“We cannot afford to have a high cost,highly trained resource dealing withpublic intoxication disproportionatelywhen we have other major crimes occur-ring throughout the city,” Schwartz said.

Not that long ago, I was sitting in the hallwayinside the State Capitol Building in Sacramentowondering when I was going to be arrested forbeing a fraud. I was applying for the job ofspeechwriter for the Speaker of the Assemblyand I had never written a single speech before.Sitting next to me was the Speaker himself andhe was laughing at me.

“You have some guts coming in here,” hesaid. “But, let’s see what you can do. I speakbefore the Los Angeles Business Round Tabletomorrow. I’ll need a speech by noon.”

Three years and 280 speeches later, I was stillworking for Antonio Villaraigosa, who later, ofcourse, became the Mayor of Los Angeles.

Those years working for Villaraigosa in Sacramento weresome of the best of my life. He loved to speak and I lovedframing the words. I was like a kid in a candy store, a life-long journalist finally allowed to peer inside the ‘smoke-filled rooms’ in the most powerful capital outsideWashington. I learned to drink Scotch and I had a catbird’sseat for watching the internal workings of California politicsunfold. I wrote dozens of op-eds and three speeches a week,on napkins, in taxis, on the steps of the Statehouse, and oncein a while, in the office. I loved the action. It was a totalgas.

Once, in the middle of the speech before an audience ofabout 2,000 people, Villaraigosa told a joke I had preparedfor him. It was a good joke, everyone laughed. He paused atthe podium and said, “I know you guys think I’m funny, but Ihave to tell you that joke was written by my speechwriter.Bowker-man, stand up back there!” I’ve never known apolitician to do that before or since.

During this time, Villaraigosa’s closest friend and politicalally had been Bob Hertzberg, an Assemblyman from the SanFernando Valley. Then Bob began to covet what Antoniohad. The Speaker of the Assembly controls tens-of-millionsof dollars, often has a life-or-death say over legislation and isthe rock star of the Legislature. Hertzberg would have cer-tainly become Speaker when Villaraigosa was termed out ofthe Assembly six months later, but he was hungry for that

power. He traded their friendship for those extra sixmonths.

When Hertzberg forced Villaraigosa out, theybecame bitter enemies. I had to choose whenHertzberg took over. The chiefs of staff from bothcamps called me almost hourly, sometimes until mid-night. Villaraigosa wanted me to relocate to LosAngeles, though, and in the end, I had to make the hardchoice to stay in Sacramento because I didn’t want torelocate my children, who were in school. I paid forthat decision dearly. The first time I met in private withHertzberg, he informed me, in rather abrupt fashion,that he was smarter than any of the staff members andcould do all of their jobs better than they could. The

man really knew how to inspire people.

When the Democratic National Convention was held in theStaples Center, Bob was asked to speak and I helped writethe words. I was still in an L.A. hotel room when the phonerang around midnight. It was Antonio’s top staff member.Antonio had been asked to give a speech that was to be airednationwide on C-Span and he needed a script. Knowing Iwould be fired from my job if Bob found out, I wrote it any-way. At 4 a.m., I smuggled it through the kitchen of the hotelto Antonio’s guy, who was waiting outside the back door.

There was a modicum of satisfaction when the two ranagainst each other for Mayor and Villaraigosa trounced themore heavily-financed Hertzberg, who has since faded intopolitical obscurity. But, Villaraigosa has not fared so well

While some ideas on improving business ingeneral had some variation, most candidatesagreed the process had become too complicat-ed, and more streamlining would be required.

The sharpest divide came over the use ofCreek restoration money which is funded bybed taxes. All three Democrats said the moneyhad been spent well, but other candidates dis-agreed.

Rowse said the idea had been good, cleanbeaches and creeks would bolster tourism andlet the measure pay for itself. But the practice

had been much different, with the moneygoing to more ancillary programs, neglectingbasics such as beach clean-ups.

“That’s what’s going to regenerate thosefunds and that’s all part of keeping the waterand the environment clean as well,” Rowsesaid.

Falcone acknowledged that beach cleanupsshould be increased but said the list of taskscompleted by Measure B qualified it as a suc-cess. She rifled off projects that including therestoration of Arroyo Burro estuary, streetsweeping, and the rehabilitation of parts ofMission Creek.

“My answer’s right here,” Falcone said,tapping her “YES” card.

politically, either, in large part because nomayor of Los Angeles ever has. It is a blackhole of politics, no one gets out alive fromthat ungovernable city.

I am always surprised that few people inSanta Barbara know much about Villaraigosaand there is a question as to whether he canresurrect his career. But, politics aside – I’vegrown a bit more conservative in the pastfew years -- Villaraigosa is everything a topguy should be. He can appear egotistical andhard-headed, but I knew him as engaging,introspective, and even inspiring. One man

was a leader, the other was not.Mark this on your calendars. At 6 p.m.

next Tuesday (Oct. 4th) Kira Mcdonald ofSanta Barbara is hosting an early fund raiserfor the American Heart Association’s HeartWalk, which is scheduled for Oct. 8th. AfterKira watched her father suffer through twostrokes and an intensive operation that closeda hole in his heart, she wanted to do some-thing to help.

The school ended the lockdown at3:40 p.m. Officers searched the sur-rounding area but did not find a suspect.As of 5 p.m. Wednesday Duarte said two

patrol units and detectives were continu-ing to search for the suspect while othershave returned to answering normal serv-ice calls.

Both Santa Barbara Unified SchoolDistrict spokeswoman Barbara Keyaniand Duarte said lockdowns are part of astandard precaution to keep studentssafe. Duarte added that all calls regard-ing someone carrying a gun are takenseriously regardless of location.

“We are going to take every precau-tion to make sure the students, the par-ents and the surrounding community aresafe,” Duarte said.

Goleta cracks down on overnight parking

The city of Goleta is looking to crackdown on the rise in large vehicles stayingover on local streets.

The city’s ordinance committee willvote on measures that aim to curb theproblem at a meeting today at City Hall.

Mayor Margaret Connell said it’stime.

Extended parking of such vehicles hassome citizens annoyed and suspicious,she said.

“People are concerned that some areasare turning into storage spaces,” Connellsaid.

“When large vehicles are parked thenthere’s a concern that there might cometo be people living in them,” she said.

Residents on Winchester Canyon,

Kellogg, and Encina roads have been par-ticularly vocal about the issue, she said.

Currently the city does not have anyspecial ordinance aimed at large vehi-cles, though it is illegal to park a car onthe street for over 72 hours.

If passed, trailers, campers, and vehi-cles taller than 25 feet or wider than 80inches, would not be permitted to parklonger than two consecutive days.Exceeding this could result in an infrac-tion, fines, and towing if left untended anadditional day.

Special exceptions apply to towing anmaintenance vehicles, emergencyresponders, or those with handicappedparking permits. Hotel buses have theirown set of guidelines in the ordinance.

The Goleta City Council reviewed apreliminary ordinance a year ago and

determined that it needed to undergosome changes.

“We’ll see if we can get somethingthat takes care of the problem, but alsoaddresses some of the special needs,”Connell said.

People were upset by the prospect ofnot being able to park their cars duringlengthy loading and unloading periodsbefore and after trips, Connell said.

For a fee, vehicle owners can alsoapply for a five day extension. If needed,they can file for an additional extensiontotaling no more the 15 days in a six-month period.

The bureaucratic obstacles may upsetsome, but Connell said some sort ofmonitoring is necessary.

“The street is a public place,” she said.“There’s a lot of concern.”

BY ELISE CLEMENTSDAILY SOUND STAFF WRITER

“We have known Deborah for years,”Keenan said. “She’s not afraid to takepositions that are politically unpopular.”

Rojas said that she is shocked thatanyone would file a complaint letter withthe FPPC. Their event is scheduled forFriday at their home, where they willserve hors d’ oeuvres, fine wines andother refreshments.

Byrne doesn’t believe that Rojas everattempted to contact her.

“I never got a call from her,” Byrnesaid. “Had I did, I would have returned it.

I never had a contact from these folks.”She said that MCA could not find any

evidence on the internet that the Milpas-Riviera Co-Op existed. Several MCAmembers, she said, called her to askwhether MCA was endorsing Schwartz.

Dennis said Byrne has turned this intoa political issue.

“The real issue of concern is thatSharon Bryne is clearly using the MCAand her position there to further her ownpolitical ambitions,” Dennis said.

Bleecker said the group is trying tosteal MCA’s identity.

My guess is that someone realized the

positive impact we have had, and decid-ed to capitalize on it by going to ourwebsite to ‘mimick our message,”Bleecker said. “It's just not right!

Bleecker said MCA has no plans toendorse Schwartz.

“This is rather unfortunate, because Inow feel that I need to mobilize ourorganization to blanket the street andcounter this propaganda by setting therecord straight,” Bleecker said. “Ourtime would be much better utilized actu-ally trying go make a difference ratherthan combating this type of politicalagenda.”
