City of Goleta totake over CenterOwnership of the Goleta
Valley Community Centerwill be transferred to the Cityof Goleta in two years, andthe center’s board of directorsmet with the City Councilyesterday to discuss the futureof the building.The center, which was
originally a school house, cur-rently rents space to non-prof-it groups, commercial busi-nesses, and party events. Thenine-member board is proudof the way it has managed thefacility.“We are serving the com-
munity. We serve a lot of chil-dren, we’re doing a great jobwith seniors,” said PresidentJean Blois. “We feel like itsreally a little gem in our com-munity.”Alcoholics Anonymous
groups meet there. Peoplealso offer dance and martialarts classes at the building.Volunteers also serve the sen-iors lunch at the Center.About 110 non-profits use thecenter.The Goleta Valley Union
School District currently
owns the 7.8 acre property,which also encompassesRainbow School, part of theCommunity Action Center’sfacility, and a bus yard for theschool district.Since the district decided
not to run a school out of thebuilding in the late 1970’sbecause it does not meet stateearthquake requirements,Santa Barbara County hasleased the property to serve itscurrent purpose.Mayor Ed Easton said that
part of the city’s incorpora-tion agreement with the coun-ty stipulates that it would gainownership of the propertywhen the current lease is up inthe Fall of 2013. CityManager Dan Singer said thatthe city intends to do a betterjob maintaining the 1927building.“We don’t intend to be
hands off from the standpointof a good landlord,” Singersaid.The main concerns ahead
for both the city and the cen-ter are for the safety of thestructure and preserving thecurrent use of the building. Inaddition to the seismic studyand what that might require
further on, the building is alsoin need of minor repairs.Members of the council
and the board largely agreedthat preserving the sight as acommunity resource shouldbe given high priority duringthe process regardless of pos-sible setbacks.“I hope we never lose sight
of the value this facility has tothe community,” said council-woman and former mayorMargaret Connell. “That’sirreplaceable.”But Councilman Roger
Aceves expressed strong con-cern regarding the feasibilityof this idea.“We don’t know the best
and highest use of the facilityin light of its liability,”Aceves said.He questioned what type of
insurance the city might needfor the building to cover all itsuses, and said that a seismicstudy should be done as soonas possible before proceedingto shape its future use.The council next month
will be considering forming asubcommittee along with thecenter’s board which wouldbe comprised of members ofboth.

NEWS IN BRIEFRomney bigger Obama threatNewt Gingrich holds a 10-point lead in the fight for the
Republican presidential nomination, but he would fare worseagainst President Barack Obama than Republican Mitt Romney,according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.With the first nominating contest in Iowa less than three
weeks away, Gingrich leads Romney among Republican votersnationwide by 28 percent to 18 percent, the poll found.However, the poll raises questions about whether Gingrich -
- a former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives whohas shot to the top of Republican opinion polls in recent weeks-- would be able to defeat Obama. The poll found that if theNovember 2012 presidential election were held today, Obamawould defeat Gingrich, 51 percent to 38 percent. By contrast,Obama would defeat Romney by a narrower margin, 48 percentto 40 percent.
Doubt remains as troops leave IraqZahora Jasim lost two brothers to bombs and gunmen in the
years of turmoil and violence that followed the U.S. invasion ofIraq.Now, as the troops leave for home, the Baghdad housewife
fears her country's troubles are not over and wonders, like manyIraqis, if their fragile democracy will slide back into sectarianstrife."The only images I have in my mind from these nine years are
the deaths of my brother and his wife, of being forced from ourhomes, and the death of another brother in a bombing," she said."I don't think anything will really change. There will still be
bombings, we will still have assassinations, and the governmentwill not be able to do anything."
Cell phone charges riskyHoliday shoppers are increasingly pulling out their phones
instead of their debit cards when it comes time to pay for a pur-chase, but what risks are they exposing themselves to when theydo that?If you are charging items to your phone bill, you have limit-
ed protection, according to a new study by Consumers Union,which is telling consumers not to use pay-by-phone programsthat pass charges through the phone company. The advocacygroup has been urging mobile carriers to recognize the respon-sibilities that come with being a financial intermediary.While the largest carriers assert they already provide ade-
quate protection, the nonprofit advocacy group asserts that whatthe carriers say and what's in writing aren't the same, and thatpurchase protection policies vary widely. The new studyappears on its defendyourdollars.org site.

When it comes to giving weare on the right track
We are in full swing intothe Christmas holiday season.The stockings are hung, giftswrapped and under the tree,The Nutcracker this weekend.As the day quickly
approaches where Fia willreceive enough gifts to proba-bly fill the back of a semitruck, it’s also the perfect timeto teach her about giving.For the past two weeks,
Fia’s school has had a fooddrive to support our localfood bank.Last week, with the list of
suggestions provided by theschool, The Husband took Fiato the grocery store to buyenough items on the list todrop off one item each day.At the store, she took the listand picked out her favoritefoods to bring to school.We thought about dropping
them all at once, but bringingone each day gave us theopportunity to talk eachmorning about giving andhelping others. Just before we leave for
school, Fia picks out one itemfrom the bunch, which sits by
the door.While we walk
to school, she hap-pily carries the itemshe picked out allon her own and wetalk about why sheis taking the food.Over the course
of a week she haslearned that not allof our neighbors arelucky enough tobuy food and thatthis is a way for usto help out. Each day the col-lection has grown and Fiaexcitedly talks about howmany items are now in herclassroom’s box and muchthey are going to help.At the same time at Fia’s
school, there was a pennydrive, to support another localcharity.Along with her food choice
she would put some changewe had set aside in her pocketand would drop the 50 centsor so into the coffee can. It’sa small price to pay to beginthe lesson on giving.In addition to giving in
these ways, Fia alsohad gone through allher toys and hasculled out gamesand puzzles she nolonger plays with.The cash register
will be given to thebabysitter so whenother kids go over toher house there willbe toys for them toplay with. The matwith the street scenewill go to the boy
down the block so he can playcars on it and the puzzle to hercousin who loves them. Shegets to decide who gets whatand the toys left in her give-away pile will go to the shel-ter.Fia is 5 and for her getting
presents is pretty much thebest thing in the world. She isbeyond excited about SantaClaus coming down ourchimney in a couple weekswith his sack full of gifts.She knows that the pres-
ents she receives will fill theholes in the shelves left emptyby the toys she has given
away, but my hope is that shelearns the joy of giving ismore rewarding than the joyof receiving. We’ve been trying to set a
good example for her and thisis really the first time she’shad a more direct way ofhelping.In the past couple of weeks
we’ve made a lot of progressin the lesson of giving andhelping others. She’s gettingit and it makes me proud.On our walk to school this
morning, as she clutched myhand with her right hand anda pound of pasta in the other,we talked about what it feelslike to help others.Her response, “it feels
good.” There’s a lot about parent-
ing that is still a mystery anda lot about being a mom that Iam so unsure of, but this time,I know we are on the righttrack.

Kids’ cancer risk tied to fathers’ longterm smokingChildren whose fathers
smoked have at least a 15 per-cent higher risk of developingthe most common form ofchildhood cancer, a newAustralian study finds."Paternal smoking seems
to be real" as a risk factor,
said Patricia Buffler, a profes-sor at the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley, whowas not involved in the cur-rent analysis."The importance of tobac-
co exposure and children'scancers has been overlooked
until recently," Buffler toldReuters Health. "So I think this paper is
important" in adding to thegrowing body of evidence.The research team, led by
Dr. Elizabeth Milne at theTelethon Institute for Child
Health Research in Australia,surveyed the families of near-ly 400 children with acutelymphoblastic leukemia.More than 1,000 kids die
of the disease every year.

NEWSDemocrats mull dropping millionaire surtaxPresident Barack Obama
and fellow Democrats onWednesday signaled a will-ingness to drop a proposedsurtax on millionaires, butremained at odds withRepublicans in efforts toextend an expiring payroll taxcut for 160 millionAmericans.Obama discussed abandon-
ing the surtax, whichRepublicans have denounced
as a levy on "job creators," ata meeting with SenateMajority Leader Harry Reidand other top SenateDemocrats at the WhiteHouse, party aides said.One aide said Democrats
have not offered to drop thesurtax, but have made it clearto Republicans that they arewilling to do so to renew thetax cut set to expire onDecember 31.
"We made a significantstep in their direction, butRepublicans don't seem tocare whether a tax increasefor the middle class is pre-vented -- so we remain at astandoff," the aide said."They are not negotiating."The tough talk comes amid
an end-of-year rush inCongress to find deals onmajor initiatives beyond thepayroll tax cut extension,
including one to extend bene-fits for millions of long-termjobless Americans. Thosegovernment payments wouldbegin expiring early nextyear.Democrats and
Republicans are also fightingover a nearly $1 trillionspending bill to keep severalgovernment agencies operat-ing through the fiscal yearthat ends on September 30.
Without action by Friday atmidnight, agencies that deliv-er health, education, defense,homeland security and otherservices would have to close,further eroding sagging pub-lic confidence in members ofCongress who face re-elec-tion next year.Given the lack of progress,
the White House called onCongress to pass a short-termfunding measure to avert a
shutdown. It was not yet clearif lawmakers will comply.Without elaborating,
House Republican LeaderEric Cantor told reporters,"We intend to act to makesure that we don't allow forthere to be a shutdown."But many lawmakers are
frustrated with the politicalgridlock that has plagued asharply-divided Congress allyear.

NFL extends deals with networksThe National Football
League reached deals with theCBS, FOX and NBC broad-cast networks that will extendtelevision rights for the gamesthrough the 2022 seasonwhile substantially increasingpayments to the league.The networks agreed to
pay annual increases of about7 percent on average, a personfamiliar with the deals said.That will lift yearly rightspayments to the NFL from thenetworks to nearly $3.1 bil-lion in 2022, up from about$1.9 billion in 2013, the per-son said.The higher payments,
which follow a new contractreached with ESPN in
September for Monday nightgames, reflect the importanceof sports and particularly theNFL to TV networks. Sportsis almost always watched liveby viewers, which is ofimmense importance toadvertisers and separates itfrom most programming suchas dramas and comedies,which are often recorded andwatched later."Live sports, especially
football, drives higher audi-ence ratings than anythingelse on television in the U.S.So NFL is a very importantproperty for these networks,"Morningstar analyst MichaelCorty said. Combined withpayments from Walt Disney
Co's ESPN and satellite TVprovider DirecTV, annualpayments to the NFL for tele-vising games will reach about$6 billion annually.In September, the NFL
announced an eight-year,$15.2 billion contract exten-sion with Walt Disney Co'sESPN for Monday NightFootball. The deal, whichincludes additional rightsbeyond just the TV broadcast,represents a roughly 73 per-cent increase over the previ-ous contract. NBC, a unit of Comcast
Corp, will again carry Sundaynight primetime games andthe Thursday night NFL sea-son kickoff game.

“Our vision is to create acommunity that is global,”House said. “Dance is a glob-al language.”For House, the last several
months have been a definingtime. He closed down hissewing machine shop onCanon Perdido St. and decid-ed to devote more time to hisdance project.Working with Olsen-Curtis
has been an enlightening, life-changin experience.She teaches dance at ele-
mentary schools as an artist-in-residence. She also workswith teens at the SantaBarbara Housing Authority.“The combination of dance
and movement is very power-ful,” she said. “Dance createsinstant community.”House has a long history of
public service. He has beenon the City Council for sixyears, and was the top vote-getter in the 2009 election.House, who speaks
Spanish fluently, has longbeen an activist and advocatefor low-income communitiesand the underrepresented.Before he was on the City
Council he was an emergingleader in the Latino commu-nity. He has also served onseveral nonprofit boards.As a councilman, House
has developed a reputation asa cheery, positive man, whoalways reaches for compro-mise among competing inter-ests. His work with dance isjust the latest example of hiscontinually evolving attemptsto help others. House saidthere’s nothing like seeing achild dance for the first time.“It is the most incredible
joy to see a young person befully expressed, unbridled,just as open as possible.”
House and Olsen-Curtisplan to teach swing, salsa andother dances to the African5th and 6th graders. They willlearn African dances.“We are there to create
friendships and connections,”House said.They will visit schools and
villages and videotape muchof their interactions. Much ofit is an experiment, but thetwo say it is risk worth taking.“It’s been a dream,” House
said. “It’s just amazing to takesomething that seems so out-landish and turn it into some-thing real and realize that itwasn’t outlandish at all.”
