Sources: Byrne toget POA supportBY JOSHUA MOLINA
DAILY SOUND EDITORThe powerful public safety unions are
scheduled on Wednesday to formallyannounce their endorsements for the2011 Santa Barbara City Council elec-tion.The Santa Barbara Police Officers
Association in June endorsed IyaFalcone and Deborah Schwartz, but mys-tery has swirled around the thirdendorsement.Sources told the Daily Sound that
Milpas Community Association presi-dent Sharon Byrne was likely to get the
third endorsement from the union.Politicos over the weekend and onMonday were also whispering that Byrnegot the nod and that the choice camedown to Byrne and council incumbentRandy Rowse.Byrne has been a big advocate for
enhanced public safety funding andincreased police services during the lastyear.The Santa Barbara City Firefighters
Association have not yet announced anyendorsements, but behind the scenesinsiders said that it was important for thetwo groups this election season to pres-
ent a unified slate of candidates.Two years ago councilwoman
Michael Self received the backing fromthe police officers association. It couldbe a significant blow to her campaign forre-election if the union were to pass herup this time around.Falcone, who served two terms on the
council before taking a two-year hiatus,has long been a favorite of the publicsafety unions.The unions will make their announce-
ment at 10 a.m. Wednesday at the EastBeach, Parking Lot, on the corner ofMIlpas and Cabrillo Boulevard.
Jersey, Vermont flood as Irene spares NYCFAIRFIELD, N.J./BRATTLEBORO,
Vermont (Reuters) - New Jersey andVermont struggled with their worstflooding in decades on Monday, a dayafter Hurricane Irene slammed analready soaked U.S. Northeast with tor-rential rain, dragging away homes andsubmerging neighborhoods underwater.The massive storm churned up the
U.S. East Coast over the weekend killingat least 38 people in 11 states, in additionto three who died in the DominicanRepublic and one in Puerto Rico whenthe storm was still in the Caribbean,authorities said.Spared from Irene's worst fury, New
York City went back to work on Monday
despite a partially crippled mass transitsystem and power outages that left100,000 customers in the metropolitanarea and nearly 1 million in the statewithout electricity. Overall, some 5.1 million homes and
businesses were still without power fromNorth Carolina to Maine, and utilitiessaid it could take days to restore electric-ity in more accessible areas and weeks inthe hardest-hit regions.Total economic damage could reach
$20 billion, Standard & Poor's SeniorEconomist Beth Ann Bovino said.Hundreds of thousands of homes suf-fered damage, raising questions abouthow much would be covered by insur-
ance as many homeowner policies do notcover flood damage.In Fairfield, New Jersey, about 20
homes near the Passaic River were sub-merged, some in at least five feet ofwater. Some people waded chest high orrode canoes down the street, while othersjust sat and witnessed the flood fromtheir stoops."This is the worst flood we have ever
had," said Mike Chiafulio, 52, who couldonly watch as the water continued to risearound his mother's house. He said theflooding exceeding what he rememberedfrom notable floods in 1968 and 1984.The leafy suburb of Maplewood some

Park brings light to Old TownBY NICK C. TONKIN
DAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENTFor as long as Jhoanna Ramirez can
remember, the lot on South KelloggAvenue has been nothing but a vacantfield of dirt and weeds.The four acre property sits behind a
used car dealership, across the streetfrom the Villa La Esperanza apartmentcomplex, and just around the corner fromOld Town Goleta’s locally owned shops,corner markets, and neighborhoodrestaurants.But after almost 14 years, Ramirez, a
La Esperanza resident and mother ofthree, is happy to hear the city is workingto fill that lot with Old Town’s largestrecreational park.Despite being one of the most densely
populated areas in Goleta, Old Town hasfew facilities for public outdoor recreation.The United Boys and Girls Club has
the closest field. But Ramirez, whosehusband is a soccer coach there, said thegopher holes have gotten so bad that theclub hold games at other places such asLa Patera Elementary School.“We just don’t have anything around
here like that,” Ramirez said.But the city council is working to
change that. The city will organize aseries of community meetings to heardesign suggestions for the Kellogg prop-erty. The city purchased the lot last weekfor $2.6 million with the intent to put in
a neighborhood park.The community’s been working to get
a park put into that area since before thecity’s incorporation.“It’s very exciting to be able to build a
park on this site for a population thatneeds it very badly,” Goleta MayorMargaret Connell said.One of the people who believes they
need a park badly is Jesus Torres. Torres,21, grew up in the Old Town area. Thereweren’t many options for soccer, Torres’
sport of choice. Now with a 3-year-olddaughter, Torres said it’d be nice to havea place where she can play with otherchildren. “I like sports and I’d like my daughter
to be involved in sports because it’shealthy,” Torres said.Torres said the Boys and Girls Club
field is good, but he’s managed to twisthis ankle on the field there before.Michael Rattray, executive director of
One of the only remaining open spaces in Old Town Goleta, on S. Kellogg Avenue, will becomea park if the City has its way.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Wall Street soars on bank dealStocks soared more than 2 percent in a broad rally on
Monday as a merger between two big Greek banks provided arare bit of encouraging news out of debt-stricken Europe.A rebound in consumer spending calmed fears of a new U.S.
recession and also helped lift all 10 S&P sectors. Only five S&Pstocks ended in negative territory while the CBOE Volatilityindex .VIX, a measure of investor fear, lost 9.3 percent. But vol-ume was low, amplifying the surge in shares.Financial stocks were the top gainers after Greek banks
Alpha (ACBr.AT) and EFG Eurobank (EFGr.AT) sealed amerger with help from Qatar, shoring up a sector battered by theeuro zone's debt crisis. Insurers also rose sharply as propertydamage from Hurricane Irene was less than feared, according toearly estimates.
Fitch settles Calpers lawsuitFitch Ratings settled a lawsuit in which the largest U.S. pub-
lic pension fund alleged that Fitch and other credit ratings agen-cies assigned unreasonably high ratings to special investmentvehicles, according to a court document filed on Friday.The California Public Employees' Retirement System
(Calpers) sued Fitch, Moody's and Standard & Poor's in July2009, alleging that inaccurate ratings caused $1 billion of losses.Fitch will make no payment under the settlement, Fitch
spokesman Daniel Noonan said in an email on Monday.Calpers spokesman Wayne Davis declined to comment on
the terms of the settlement but said it will streamline the caseagainst Moody's and Standard & Poor's."Calpers can still fully recover its damages if it prevails
against Moody's or S&P," Davis said in an email.Michael Adler, a Moody's spokesman, said the company con-
tinues to believe the lawsuit is without merit and that Calpers'claims will be dismissed.

Assemblyman Das Williams has three billsbefore the governor for consideration.AB 412: The proposed legislation re-
authorizes Santa Barbara County to collect anadditional $5 penalty assessment on ticketsissued for driving under the influence andother driving while intoxicated offenses tofund emergency medical services in SantaBarbara County.
“So many emergency rooms in our areahave closed down,” said Williams who grewup in Isla Vista. “It is vital for the safety foreach of us, to adequately fund those emer-gency rooms that remains.”.AB 504: This bill would allow the Santa
Barbara School District to continue to receivelocal, voter-approved parcel taxes afteTherunification of their elementary and secondary
school districts. The bill would allow theschool district to continue to levy existing andfuture parcel taxes as they did as separate dis-tricts, so that residents only contribute to payfor those schools that serve their community asthey do now. AB 623: This proposed legislation would
authorize the Alcoholic Beverage Control(ABC) to issue a new off-sale retail winelicense that would allow entrepreneurs who donot have a physical store to sell wine directlyto consumers. “I feel as if these bills are useful to people
in my district and beyond,” AssemblymemberDas Williams said. “I am honored to be able towork on these types of bills that support publicsafety, education and business.”

Capps toutsrecreation
BY ELISE CLEMENTSDAILY SOUND STAFF WRITER
Sometimes putting a price tag on the price-less is the only way to make it sell, which ishow Congresswoman Lois Capps wound up atHorny Toad yesterday surrounded by businessand environmental representatives.
House Republicansattached provisions to anappropriations bill thatwould cut the Land andWater Conservation Fund bynearly 80 percent next year.This money is taken from oilcompanies that drill offshoreand make more $5 billionannually, not taxes. It is used
nationwide to protect parks, forests, lakes andbeaches. The cuts would leave funding at itslowest during the program’s 45 years. Locally this money has been used to pre-
serve Shoreline Park, Leadbetter Beach,Gaviota and others.Rep. Capps, D-Santa Barbara on Monday
gathered about a dozen representatives fromoutdoor industry companies and local environ-mental groups to discuss the importance ofland conservation both ethically and financial-ly.
“Folks have been used to having theseplaces to go and industries have grown todepend on this,” Capps said. “This budget isbeing put out from the position of fear, but thefact of the matter is our natural parks were putout during the great depression.”County supervisor Salud Carbajal called the
provision a “trifecta of doom,” because of itseffect on economy, environment, and recre-ation. Hans Cole, environmental grants manager
for Patagonia, said his company employsabout 300 locally and 1,000 worldwide. Theymade about $414 million last year.“We rely on public lands so our customers
can make use of our products,” he said. “Oftentimes when you do the right thing you actuallyend up growing your business. They don’thave to be in conflict and this is a perfectexample.”Michael Cohen, director of Santa Barbara
Adventure Company said that his company,which pulls in just under $1 million annuallyand employs 15 guides, sees another benefit topreservation.Tourism is a booming industry in Santa
Barbara. Cohen said he doubts that the fourGermans who came to his business for surf les-sons yesterday would have been attracted tovisit if Santa Barbara squandered its naturalbeauty.He also questioned prioritizing spending on
other institutions, such as the military, in thecontext of a weak economy.“What is the return on a patriot missile?”
Cohen asked. “Tourism is a billion dollarindustry, I just want to see if there’s a similarreturn on an aircraft carrier.”The bill was put on hold while congress
struggled to raise the debt ceiling and againduring its recess until September 5th. Capps istaking the opportunity to rally support, andencouraged community members to takeaction in protecting the natural world whichshe sees as “the real world.”
She reflected on Horny Toad’s motto“Every day is an adventure.”“It means getting outdoors and taking
advantage before it is threatened,” she said. “Itspeaks to the dimensions of life that can bemeasured without numbers.”But those who attended, including Capps,
reflected on the importance of having somenumbers to lean on.“Where you can quantify it into dollars,”
said KateLarramendy of Horny Toad, “that’swhere you get credibility.”

the United Boys and Girls Club, has noqualms about admitting that the organi-zation could use a better field.Rattray, a strong proponent of the
park, said the Boys and Girls Club ishampered by the lack of space. With1,100 members, the majority of whichlive within a half-mile, the club’s fieldhas difficulty keeping up with demand.“A lot of these folks don’t have access
to transportation to get to the other fields
that are in the greater Goleta Valleyarea,” Rattray said.Rattray also adds that the club doesn’t
have the resources to keep up with themaintenance demands that heavy use ofthe field requires. At least one new soc-cer field could go a long way to changingthat.“Whatever we come up with is going
to be better than what we have today,”Rattray said. Some people also feel the park could
help address gang issues. Nancy Cabreraworks at Alpha Thrift around the corner
from the park. While she’d like the parkjust for a place to share lunch with her 1-year-old daughter, it could do much morethan that. She believes getting kids involved
with the park’s construction would givean entire generation the mentality of tak-ing care of the community. And when it’sfinished, they’ll have a host of activitiesto choose from, all within walking dis-tance. “They’re going to be out of the streets
and having fun,” Cabrera said.

I'm a big baseball fan. Yes, Ido in fact check the box scoresevery day of the season, eter-nally waiting for my belovedOrioles to reestablish them-selves as the powerhouse theyonce were. Of course, I alsoroot for the LA Clippers. I'mobviously a glutton for disap-pointment.Last year there was one
phenom that I was particularlyinterested in; StevenStrausberg. Actually living up to themoniker of "most hyped and closelywatched pitching prospect in the historyof baseball" (Sports Illustrated),Strausberg compiled 92 strikeouts in 68innings in his 12 game major leaguedebut with an assortment of dazzlingpitches, including a fastball onceclocked at 102 MPH!
Then on August 10, 2010,tragedy struck. He seriouslyinjured his powerful right arm.Later diagnosed as an ulnarcollateral ligament tear, he wasthrough for the season andonly now is he slowly makinghis way back to the Majorsafter over a year's rehab.So why this story?Well, I not trying to invoke
paranoia. There is, however,an inherent fragility that we all
share, no matter our station in life. Ourtime is limited on the "playing field" ofthis existence.So how best to enjoy the game?Taking some wisdom from Buddha;
attachment causes pain. Yes, alwaysstrive for perfection in whatever you do.Achieve your best and feel pleasurewhen a good job is completed. But like
the farmer who peruses his beautifulfield of corn, know that seasons willchange, and new plantings will have totake place. Try to appreciate all yourseasons.After all, being able to partake in
the contest is the real joy. Talk to someold athletes and ask them what theymiss the most. It wasn't just the win-ning or the personal achievements; itwas the sheer pleasure of playing thegame.So enjoy your game of life to the
fullest. Infuse consciousness, joy, kind-ness, and appreciation into your every-day experience and treasure your timeon the field. You're always the "MostValuable Player" in your world."Batter up...".
20 miles west of New York City wasjarred by the sound of whirring genera-tors, sirens and pumps emptying waterfrom flooded houses.Hundreds of thousands of people in
New Jersey could be without electricity,water supplies or gas for days to come,
their comfortable towns strewn withfelled trees and branches blocking mainroadways."We've had major rains before but
we've never had flooding like this," saidBen Cohen, a retired judge who lives inMaplewood. "I can only vouch for thelast 38 years but nothing even can comeclose to this."In the town of Whippany, firefighters
trained in swift water rescue pulled twoyouths out of the raging WhippanyRiver, Deputy Fire Chief Randy Polosaid.Dumped from a raft at a man-made
waterfall in the river, one teen was cling-ing to a log and the other to a broken treelimb in the thundering current, Polosaid. The rescue took about an hour, hesaid.
