Activist Lanny Ebenstein hopes a ballot initiative will curb collective bargaining in California.DAILY SOUND / Victor Maccharoli
Ebensteinaims to cutbarganing
powerBY JOSHUA MOLINADAILY SOUND EDITOR
BY ELISE CLEMENTSDAILY SOUND STAFF WRITER
Libertarian activist Lanny Ebensteinhas submitted a proposed ballot initiativeto the state that would ban unions fromcollective bargaining in California.If certified and eventually passed by
voters, the change would strip unions ofmuch of their power and dramaticallyshake up the ranks of governmentemployment.“Public sector unions and their com-
pensation are the root of the financial cri-sis that plagues almost every governmentagency in the state,” said Dr. Ebensteinpresident of the California Center forPublic Policy. “It is time to end publicsector collective bargaining. To end pub-lic sector collective bargaining is theright approach to maintain vital publicservices while not raising general taxes.”California has been struggling with
massive budget shortfalls since the col-lapse of the housing market in 2006,which triggered a free-fall of the nation’sbanks and financial institutions. Banksstopped making loans and the credit mar-kets around the nation essentially froze.
“Mom, owie! My ear hurts!” is acommon complaint heard on pool decksacross the country this time of year.After a month of swimming, many of
our kids are starting to feel the stingassociated with swimmer’s ear, alsoknown as otitis externa (OE).
WHAT IS SWIMMERʼS EAR?Swimmer’s ear is an infection of the
ear canal. It starts when ear canals havebeen wet from constant water exposure.The lining of the canal starts to becomedamp, swollen and prone to infection.
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?Swimmer’s ear may present itself with
itchy or painful ear canals, especiallywhen the ears are pressed on, pulled upor down. Some kids may describe thefeeling of “clogged ears” or experienceear discharge.
HOW IS OE TREATED?The initial steps in treatment are to
stop water exposure and contact your
friendly pediatrician.Often times aneardrop containingan antibiotic andsteroid will be pre-scribed and adminis-tered until the infec-tion has cleared.Additional pain
relief may comefrom taking a painreliever, such asacetaminophen oribuprofen.
CAN OE BEPREVENTED?
To reduce the chances of swimmer’sear, it is helpful to keep ear canals as dryas possible after water exposure. Turningyour head to the side and pulling the earlobe in different directions may be help-ful.A common prevention strategy is to
instill rubbing alcohol into the ear canalsafter swimming to help dry out the ears
and kill bacteria. The alcohol works byflushing out water and then evaporating,essentially “drying” out the ear canal.Over the counter products can be pur-chased that will work in a similar fash-ion.
WHAT ARE SOME COMMONMISTAKES?Earplugs and cotton swabs are gener-
ally not helpful in preventing or treatingswimmer’s ear.Earwax naturally waterproofs the ear
canals, so removing wax (or pushing itback in the ear canal) may make youmore prone to infection.Rubbing alcohol can be helpful in pre-
venting swimmer’s ear, but should not beused for treatment since it may furtherinflame an infected ear and it can reallysting.
ENJOY THE SWIM SEASONSwimming is a fun summer activity
and a really great way to exercise.

“America’s youth are drowning in hap-piness,” says Aaron Cooper, Ph.D., a psy-chologist concerned about the rising ratesof youth depression and anxiety.“Millions of well-intentioned parents
have made life harder for their childrenby shielding the kids from every kind ofunhappiness,” according to Cooper, whoco-authored a book on the dangers whenparents make happiness the most impor-tant thing in their children’s lives. “Theseparents try to soften every edge in theirchildren’s lives, and it’s crippling the kidsemotionally.”That’s a scary thought, but he might be

Minn. shutdown to end soonMINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) – Minnesota’s Democratic gover-
nor and Republican legislative leaders said on Thursday theyhad reached the framework of a budget agreement to end a two-week-old state government shutdown within days.Democratic Governor Mark Dayton, Republican House
Speaker Kurt Zellers and Republican Senate Majority LeaderAmy Koch announced the deal that addresses a $5 billion budg-et deficit in a news conference outside the governor’s office.The Minnesota shutdown is the longest in recent U.S. mem-
ory and many of the debates over tax increases or spending cutsreflect the core of the ongoing debate in Washington over rais-ing the debt ceiling and budget arguments in other states.When asked when the shutdown would end, Dayton told
reporters, “very soon, within days.”The broad shutdown reached 14 days on Thursday and has
included the furlough of more than 22,000 state workers with adrag on Minnesota’s economy that could raise the state unem-ployment rate by a full percentage point.The shutdown came just before the July 4 holiday weekend,
shuttering state-run campgrounds, rest stops, historical sites,and halting the sale of fishing licenses and lottery tickets.

The lockdown at the Santa Barbara County Jail remains inplace after a series of fights inside the jail this week.The latest brawl went down Wednesday night among six
inmates. One man was rushed to Santa Barbara CottageHospital.More than six fights have erupted at the jail in the last 10
days. During a lockdown, inmates are locked inside their cells.
‘Potter’ sets box office recordsLOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Even before its U.S. debut, the
new “Harry Potter” movie is conjuring a lot of magic at boxoffices, taking in $43.6 million overseas on its opening day andsending advance U.S. ticket sales to record levels.Warner Bros., on Thursday said the movie’s debut in 26 coun-
tries one day earlier was 87 percent higher than its predecessorfilm, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” and 49percent above 2009’s “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”In the United States, the world’s largest movie market,
“Deathly Hallows – Part 2” debuts in midnight screeningsThursday and is breaking records for advance ticket sales.Online ticket seller Fandango.com said more than 6,000 mid-
night shows are sold out on the website, and it has sold moretickets for midnight and early morning screenings of “DeathlyHallows - Part 2” than any other movie, including “The DarkKnight” and “Twilight” series film, “New Moon.”
in a November 2010 election againstlongtime trustees.A satisfactory evaluation would allow
a one-year extension to Serban’s contractas Superintendent-President.“The letter did not give Serban a satis-
factory evaluation, but not an unsatisfac-tory evaluation,” Ostrove said.O’Connor, a former instructor who
began at City College in 1965, saidSerban deserves a satisfactory evalua-tion.“She’s the best president we’ve ever
had,” he said.O’Connor alleged that on June 8, the
board’s last closed session, BoardPresident Peter Haslund said there wasno conclusion on Serban’s evaluation.But in a news article published the fol-lowing week, Trustee Marty Blum saidthe Superintendent-President wouldreceive a letter with the board’s opinion.O’Connor said something should havebeen announced.“Those are the only two possible con-
clusions,” O’Connor told the board. “Sothere are two possible violations of theBrown Act and you can take your pick.”O’Connor said Take Back SBCC was
formed “about a month ago” after previ-ous warnings and petitions over theprogress of Serban’s evaluation wereignored by the board.The group is made up of about 15
members, including Kathy O’Connor,City College instructor and RayO’Connor’s ex-wife.
Many City Collegestaff members, some inthe meeting roomThursday groaning andincreasingly upset oversome statements madeby trustees, are increas-ingly siding withSerban and frustratedwith moves made by
the new trustees.O’Connor presented in March a peti-
tion with 730 signatures of current andformer staff members and communitymembers urging the board to give Serbana satisfactory evaluation by April 1. Hesaid it was ignored.Now the Accrediting Commission
will investigate any wrongdoing by thetrustees, based on a letter filed by TakeBack SBCC.O’Connor places particular criticism
on trustees who, he says, called onSerban to be more transparent during theelection campaign.“I find it a little more than a little iron-
ic that the trustees who included thischarge in their campaigns seem to haveresorted to an elaborate scheme to avoiddisclosing the results of Dr. Serban’sevaluation,” O’Connor said to the board.“You apparently talk the talk, but youdon’t walk the walk on transparency.”Blum, the former two-term mayor of
Santa Barbara, said the board hasn’t vio-lated any Brown Act laws duringSerban’s evaluation.“We already approved in public ses-
sion, sometime in May maybe, a proce-dure to go through for evaluation,” Blum
told the Daily Sound.“We were going to sitdown and talk as aboard. We had 10 daysafter the evaluation andto draft an evaluationand send it to her. Andshe had 10 days torespond.”Blum said the board
conferred with an attorney to plot a pathto complete the evaluation, and Haslundfollowed that direction.She said that while the trustees cannot
discuss her evaluation, Serban is open todisclose that information.But Blum, who said she hasn’t yet
studied all of the allegations Take BackSBCC is making and never had a BrownAct violation in her 14 years on SantaBarbara City Council, questioned thebasis for the group’s actions.“The target that I did something
wrong by discussing what the procedureswere are false,” she said in reference tothe June news article. “I think this is pol-itics. It’s kind of the bad kind of politicswhere people accuse you of things thataren’t there.”Blum said she doesn’t know where the
board will proceed on the new charges.O’Connor maintains there’s wrongdo-
ing on the part of the new majority sittingon the board. He alleged that trustees areshowing up to College PlanningCommittee and Academic Senate meet-ings unannounced.“They are so rogue,” O’Connor said,
after the meeting. “They do what theydamn well please.”

Dear Miss Kitty,I have been dating a guy that runs
hot and cold. Half the time he is won-derful, loving and great to be with.The rest of the time he seems distantand not particularly loving or wonder-ful. Do you think if he was with the“right” person he would be Mr.Wonderful all the time?
– Karen, Montecito
Dear Karen,There are many big questions that
seem to come along with human curiosity andintelligence. Is there a God? Will the worldend on the last day of the Aztec calendar?Where did frozen yogurt go for 20 years?And the big one: Just how many licks does ittake to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?Supposedly it takes 1,000 licks to get to thecenter, which is why they are inevitably bittenand not licked. Immediate gratification pre-vails even with the knowledge that eventually,with enough licking – one will reach the longawaited sweet chocolate flavored substance inthe middle.Clinical trials and actual test documenta-
tion have been provided:Boy: How many licks does it take to get to
the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?Mr. Cow: I don’t know, I always end up
biting. Ask Mr. Fox, for he’s much clevererthan I.Boy: Mr. Fox, how many licks does it take
to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a TootsiePop?!!Mr. Fox: Why don’t you ask Mr. Turtle, for
he’s been around a lot longer than I?!? Me,heheh, I bite!Boy: Mr. Turtle, how many licks does it
take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of aTootsie Pop?Mr. Turtle: I’ve never even made it without
biting. Ask Mr. Owl, for he is the wisest of usall.Boy: Mr. Owl, as the wisest of all, how
many licks does it take to get to the TootsieRoll center of a Tootsie Pop!?Mr. Owl: A good question … Let’s find
out. A One ... A two-HOO ... Atha-three..(crunch sound effect)Mr. Owl: A Three!Narrator: How many licks does
it take to get to the Tootsie Rollcenter of a Tootsie Pop?(crunch sound effect)Narrator: The world may never
know.
The Tootsie Pop Effect is truewhen it comes to relationships. We
assume that because the outside is good theinside will be even better, so we rush andquestion the process under the false assump-tion that there must be something wonderfulinside, that with time we will reach. That isusually when we blame the self instead ofconsidering that what we really want mightnot be there at all.There is no given approach to understand-
ing people and a clear-cut way of knowingwhen it’s them or you or a bit of both. EvenMr. Owl could tell you that. (In case you aretaking the Tootsie thing to the letter, do notbite the person in question to see if you canfind the sweet center, this will only get youtime in the big house, late night talk showbookings and a movie deal. Karen, not tomake light of your situation (or anyone thatfinds themselves in the Valley of Jekyll andHyde), the hard reality that you can be quitesure of is this: When someone is giving not-so-confusing smoke signals, if you don’t likethe behavior - leave. Of course, the converseis true - unless you are delivering the ever-consistent wonderfully attentive loving thatyou expect from him, he is as free to dislikeyour behavior and dislocate himself from therelationship as you are.Of course, it can be harder than it sounds
to leave when we firmly believe in hope.Hope can be a misguided reality like whenhoping that the sixth tequila will prove theexistence of angels. We hope it will be differ-ent in the future. We hope that one day he orshe will have an epiphany and “get it.” We

The fall of the economy hurt the nation’sauto industry, and brought new housing devel-opment to an abrupt halt.The collapse also resulted in a drop in con-
sumer confidence, cutting off sales, property,and other tax revenues that government agen-cies had come to rely on to fund publicemployee salaries and benefit packages.Ebenstein, an economist who lost to Marty
Blum in a bid for the mayoral seat in 2005,believes government workers — from secre-taries to firefighters — are the problem.He said public employees are working
fewer hours than people in comparable posi-tions in the private sector, yet they reap “top ofthe line” benefits.Ebenstein is also a former member of the
Santa Barbara School Board of Trustees. Inaddition to wanting to end collective bargain-ing, Ebenstein also submitted separate initia-tives that would tax existing public sector pen-sions above $100,000 per year and raise publicsector retirement ages.Ebenstein believes that public employee
pensions and compensation packages areunsustainable. The system must be reformed,he said, rather than raising taxes to pay for pro-grams and services.“Raising taxes and cutting services is the
wrong approach to California’s permanentgovernment budget crisis,” Ebenstein said.“The right approach is to pay public sectoremployees fair wages and benefits, particular-
ly pensions.”The proposal, however, has infuriated labor
leaders.“When did teachers, firefighters, janitors,
and home healthcare workers destroy ourbanking economy or create our federal debt?”asked Daraka Larimore-Hall, president of theSanta Barbara County Democratic Party.“Somehow Lanny Ebenstein thinks takingaway a basic human right from one group ofemployees is the answer. It’s a compliment tocall this idea absurd.”Instead, Larimore-Hall explained that the
condition of the economy can be blamed ontax cuts to the wealthy and the cost of twowars.Bruce Corsaw, executive director of the

of problems.”Of course everyone wants their kids to be
happy, that’s human nature. But according tothis book, “I just want them to be happy” ismore than just a wish. It’s also expressing abelief that our kids’ happiness is the mostimportant thing.After reading it I began to think that happi-
ness might actually be overrated.Some of the negative consequences that
result from just wanting children to be happyinclude:
Being captive to our children’s moods. Iam so guilty of this one. From the time thatKoss was a teeny tiny baby I have hated to seehim be the least bit unhappy or god forbid, cry,and will do just about anything to make it stop.
Feeling unnecessary guilt and shamewhen our kids aren’t happy. I’m the posterchild for this one. When Koss is upset I feelpersonally responsible. It’s all my fault. It’salways all my fault. Even if it’s his fault, I feellike it’s all my fault.
Overprotecting our children from adver-sity. Guilty again. I can’t help it. It’s so hardnot to want protect your child from life’s pain.Every time I hear about another kid being meanto Koss, or even inadvertently hurting his feel-ings, the mama bear in me wants to swoop inand make everything all right again — even ifit means permanently banishing the mean kidfrom the forest. I’m still holding grudges fromkindergarten while Koss has moved on.
Abdicating parental authority rather thancause our kids unhappiness. Again, guilty ascharged. Really guilty. I can’t tell you how
often I abandon my plans to run errands afterschool and agree to let him have a friend over,or agree to five more minutes of playtime(which turns into ten or 15 minutes) because helooked at me with sadness in those big browneyes. This one’s a double whammy becauseafter I give in, then I feel guilty for not beingstrict enough with him.It might even be a triple whammy because,
as Cooper explains: “Kids know how muchtheir parents want them to be happy, and sowhen they’re sad or upset for whatever reason,they feel guilty thinking they’re letting theirparents down. Many hide their distress athome, which compounds the problem and theyend up feeling worse.”One of the hardest lessons I’ve learned as a
parent — OK I’m still working on this one —is to allow Koss to be unhappy. My impulse isto want to wipe away his sadness like it wasspilt milk. At the same time I know that I’mdoing him a disservice by trying to “make it allbetter.”When it comes to our children’s happiness,
less may actually be more. So instead of focus-ing on happiness, what should parents empha-size? Cooper and Keitel reviewed decades ofresearch and found eight ingredients in people’slives that reliably predict who is happy andwho is not, including a sense of gratitude,closeness to others, and an optimistic outlook.I think I get it now. The next time Koss is

Service Employees International Union Local 620,said he’d like to know where Ebenstein is getting hisfunding to push these initatives.“It’s the large businesses and the wealthy that
bankroll Lanny,” Corsaw said. “They don’t careabout the common tax payer, they care about busi-ness.”Corsaw said workers in the private sector are usu-
ally paid more than government employees.“They want to get rid of public jobs and contract
all these jobs out,” Corsaw. “Who do you think getsto see the money when you do that?”Ebenstein said that he holds no grudge against
government workers. In fact, his proposal wouldactually help many middle and lower incomeCalifornia residents, he said. Money should be spenton providing essential public services to all residents,not on government employees who can retire asyoung as 50 years old, he said.“Government workers are retiring a decade earlier
than employees in the private sector,” Ebenstein said.Public safety employees can retire as early as 50
years old and earn up to 90 percent of their salaries inretirement. Other government workers can retire asyoung as age 55, and receive up to 60 percent of theirhighest salaries.“It’s hard to imagine how government is going to
have enough money to provide essential public serv-ices, which is what government exists to do,”Ebenstein said.The economist said that California voters are
ready to overhaul public employee compensation.“The problem is systemic,” Ebenstein said. “This
isn’t an issue that is going to go away.”
