The Santa Barbara County Board ofSupervisors on Tuesday voted to delay adecision on whether to allow anEnvironmental Impact Report on thePark Hill Estates project to go forward.
The project would add 15 homes,including one affordable unit, to a 14.87acre property along the 4700 block of ViaLos Santos above Tuckers Grove.
But residents and activists expressedconcerns that there aren’t enough fireevacuation routes to support more homesand the environmental studies done bythe county hadn’t been thorough enoughto judge the effects on local wildlife.
In January, the Planning Commissionagreed and ordered a more focused EIRto gather more information. The OakCreek Company filed an appeal with theBoard of Supervisors. Company repre-sentative Jeff Nelson told the board yes-terday that the new developments wouldbe safer than the vacant lot.
“The project is built to be more firesafe than the grass that is there now,”Nelson said.
He added that the project meets all thestandards put forward by the fire depart-ment and the evacuation issues fall withthe county, not with Park Hill.
“Almost everything you heard isabout this area-wide issue,” Nelson said.
Danny Vickers, president of the San
Antonio Creek HomeownersAssociation, said the neighborhoodmight not be able to handle another 15homes. He pointed out that the 1991Painted Cave Fire ripped through theneighborhood in less than an hour afterit’d gotten an evacuation notice and very
little has changed in terms of access withone important exception.
“Today there are 75 more homes orlots that have already been approved tobuild and we still have the same situationin terms of fire safety,” Vickers said.

DEVELOPER Mark Lee is pro-posing to build 25 homes onundeveloped land in the Las
Positas Valley.In addition to that, Lee also wants to
restore an 1,800-foot-section of ArroyoBurro Creek to its natural state. Sixacres of degraded, essentially unusedcity land would be cleaned up andrestored for public use
Lee would like to do this all on hisown dime — at no taxpayer expense.
But first he needs your help.Voters in June must decide whether
to approve Measure Y, which willallow him to build a bridge overArroyo Burro Creek to allow residentsand the public to access the land.
Because the area is city property, apassive city park, voters must approveany change in use for private gain.
The Daily Sound urges voters to
approve Measure Y and allow Lee tomove forward with the project.
Lee proposed the project more thana decade ago. He has shown tremen-dous resiliency to keep the projectalive, even in the face of repeateddefeats.
Environmental groups have consis-tently opposed the project because theybelieve that Lee’s restoration project isweak and not up to Santa Barbara’sstandards. Lee’s project, they say, ismore about stopping the degradation,rather than truly restoring the water-shed.
City officials and environmentalistsmust take a holistic approach to ArroyoBurro Creek, they say, and not allow aprivate developer with deep pockets toessentially buy approval of a projectthrough the promise of creek restora-tion.
While we believe they make somevalid points, the bottom line is this:
The city doesn’t have the money torestore the creek; the developer does,and he is willing to do it. The citywould also get additional housingstock, new trails, and the public wouldbenefit from a restored watershed.
“Measure Y is a great deal for citytaxpayers,” says Dr. Dan Secord. “Weget a creek and parkland restored, andan environmentally state-of-the-artbridge at no cost.”
Santa Barbara has bigger problemsto face — such as pension reform —and shouldn’t be getting in the way of aprivate developer’s attempt to build aproject, and partner with the govern-ment for a better, shared common goal.
Voters should support Measure Yand allow the Veronica Meadows proj-ect to move forward.

Vickers did say that the neighborhood isn’tproposing to cancel the project, only that morestudies needs to take place.
“We know at some point the project’s goingto be developed, we’re not against that,”Vickers said.
But in twist of irony, the board, with seconddistrict supervisor Janet Wolf recused becauseof the proximity of her home to the project, feltit didn’t have enough information to decidewhether the Planning Commission had enoughinformation.
The questions the supervisors had troublegrappling with were whether an EIR would tellthem anything they didn’t already know and if itthis was even Nelson’s problem in the first place.
Fifth district supervisor Steve Lavagninosaid fire safety had to be a number one priori-ty. But he didn’t it would make sense to haveNelson pay for a study that would just call formore evacuation routes.
“I think we’re going to end up with an EIRthat comes back and tells us we have an area-wide access problem and it’s not Mr. Nelson’sresponsibility,” Lavagnino said. “That was
there before this project.”First district supervisor Salud Carbajal,
while noting his district had seen four fires inthree years, felt going the extra distance toensure safety is worth it.
“I’m willing to do more environmentalreview to really flesh out those issues,”Carbajal said. “I think to do otherwise for me,doesn’t feel prudent.”
But Carbajal agreed with Lavagnino’s pointthat it didn’t necessarily fall to Nelson norshould the county undertake an EIR that wouldjust tell them what they’d already heard.
Third district supervisor Doreen Farr saidthere just wasn’t enough information for her toact one way or another. She recalled similarissues coming up for projects in the area whenshe’d been on the planning commission andwanted to know what had been done in thosecases.
County CEO Chandra Wallar said staffcould compile information on past projects inthe area, but would need two to three weeks todo so. That met with approval from Farr andthe other supervisors who voted 4—0 to con-tinue the hearing at a later date.
“I’m after solutions here and I would justlike better information,” Farr said.

Funny film is formulaicTHINK LIKE A MAN2 Stars – Troubling
Steve Harvey wrote his best-sellingbook “Act Like a Woman, Think Like AMan” in 2009 to share his experiencesand wisdom on relationships. In bring-ing his advice to the big screen, Harveypartnered with screenwriters KeithMerryman and David A. Newman whowrote the dialogue for the explicit andsometimes vulgar “Friends withBenefits.” As producer of the film,Harvey secured the directing skills ofTim Story due to his work on such filmsas “Taxi” and “Barbershop.”Combining the forces of these artistsproduces a work that is a fascinatingcombination of moral counsel, relation-ship manipulation, gender and racialstereotypes, and raunchy comedy in anexpose on modern dating relationships.
The storylines acted out by theensemble cast are based on the variouschapters of the book and explain howdifferent men look for and need differ-ent things from the women in theirlives.
The “player” Zeke (Romany Malco)has avoided meaningful relationships byseeking only sex and needs to be taughtto love the woman first.
The “mama’s boy” is Michael(Terrence Jenkins) whose single motherhas inappropriately bonded him to herand he must learn to choose to prioritizethe woman who could become his wifeover his mother.
The man who has lived nine yearswith his woman but will not commit tomarriage is Jeremy (Jerry Fararra) whomust take responsibility to commit toboth a career and marriage.
The underachiever who has finishedculinary school but still works as a wait-er and parking attendant is Dominic(Michael Ealy) who needs to take action
to achieve his dreams. And the mouthy divorcee who needs
to realize that he still loves his wife andtheir tumultuous relationship is Cedric(Kevin Hart).
All of these men share the basketballcourt, rowdy friendship and open dis-cussion of the relationships they havewith the women in their lives.
Balancing these men are a beautifulgroup of women whose unique journeyscause them to become catalytic in thelives of the men as they begin to applythe lessons learned in Harvey’s book.
Coming to understand that they havebeen duped by the rules of dating in themodern world, they begin to understandand respect themselves as they begin toexpect more from their men.
These women include Mya (MeaganGood), Candace (Regina Hall), Lauren(Taraji P. Henson), Kristen (GabrielleUnion), and Sonja (La La Anthony).
Although the comedy is sometimesformulaic, and the tensions and resolu-tions are often predictable, the film hasa clear morality that reflects Harvey’sviews.
However, the lack of any positivespiritual values in the lives of these men
and women helps explain why they arefaltering in finding their way in the dat-ing world as well as in life.
“Think Like a Man” is a funny adultcomedy about the modern dating scene.Though it deserves at least its PG-13rating, many viewers will find sometruth in the lessons taught in spite of thesexually explicit dialogue.
Discussion for those who have seenthis film:
1. In the modern dating scene, sexualunion seems to be expected before mar-riage. What do you think this does notonly to the ability of a person to befaithful after marriage but also to theexpectations of male and female rela-tionships?
2. The predictable discovery that thewomen are reading Harvey’s book butare offended when the men also read thebook to counter their actions revealshow the whole experience of dating isseen as a “game” and a “battlefield.” Itis only when each person becomes sin-cere and stops playing the games andstrategizing the schemes is true lovefound. Do you believe this lesson isadequate to counteract the “new morali-ty” of modern dating?
3. The advice to introduce your dateto your children from a previous mar-riage early in the relationship so theycan get to know and care for each otherseems both reasonable and risky. Whatdo you think is the best plan and why?

The mother of former San Diego Chargers linebacker Junior Seau, Luisa, reaches after a coroners van asit departs with the body of her son who was found dead at his home in Oceanside
REUTERS
Former NFL linebackerdies in apparent suicideOCEANSIDE (Reuters) — Former San
Diego Chargers linebacker Junior Seau, con-sidered one of the best defensive football play-ers of his generation, was found dead at hishome in Southern California on Wednesdayfrom a gunshot wound to the chest in an appar-ent suicide, police said. He was 43.
A young woman who identified herself asSeau's girlfriend alerted police to the death,saying she had found him wounded and uncon-scious in his beachfront home just north of SanDiego, Oceanside police chief Frank McCoytold reporters.
The death was at least the third apparent sui-cide by a former National Football League(NFL) player since February 2011, when for-mer Chicago Bears defensive back DaveDuerson killed himself in a case that led toincreased scrutiny of the effects of headinjuries in football.
Seau, a 12-time Pro Bowl selection whoselast NFL season was in 2009, played most ofhis 20-season career with the Chargers beforemoving to the Miami Dolphins and the NewEngland Patriots. He was named to the ProFootball Hall of Fame's All-Decade Team ofthe 1990s.
Seau's mother, Luisa, was weeping as shespoke before television cameras outside herson's house, where family and friends gatheredas police continued to work at the scene.
"I pray to God please take me, leave myson," she said. "But it's too late."
Seau was inducted last year into the SanDiego Chargers Hall of Fame, and was expect-ed to be considered for the NFL Hall of Fame.He will become eligible for induction in 2015.
His death was being investigated as a sui-cide, police said. Seau, however, did not havea documented history of concussions. He suf-fered a broken arm in 2006 that caused him tomiss games, and before that sat out some con-tests with injuries to his chest muscle andAchilles tendon.
Seau was found in the bedroom at his home,and investigators recovered no suicide note,Oceanside police spokesman LieutenantLeonard Mata said. The weapon Seau apparent-ly used on himself was a revolver, Mata said.
In 2010, hours after his arrest on suspicionof domestic violence, Seau drove his car off acliff in what he said at the time was an acci-dent. Seau said he fell asleep at the wheel, andprosecutors later declined to file charges in thedomestic violence complaint.
His death came less than a month after for-mer Atlanta Falcons safety Ray Easterling shothimself to death at age 62. Easterling had beendiagnosed with dementia.
PLAYER SAFETYHundreds of former NFL players and their
families have joined in legal action against theNFL, claiming negligence for not doingenough to lessen the risks from head injuries.
Duerson's family filed a wrongful death suitagainst the NFL, arguing that a series of con-cussions he suffered during his NFL playingcareer damaged his brain. Duerson, who alsoshot himself in the chest, had told friends hewanted his brain examined after his death.
The league, in the face of criticism, hasfocused in recent seasons on health and safetyissues. It has cracked down on hits to the head,and stiffened rules that prohibit players usingtheir helmets as a weapon by making contacthead-first, which is subject to fines and sus-pension for repeat offenders.
At Seau's home, across the street from thePacific Ocean, his mother sat on driveway next toa coroner's van and sang a song or hymn. Over 30family members and friends joined in before thevan carrying Seau's body left the property.
Luisa Seau followed the van down thedriveway with her arms outstretched, cryingand wailing, and was held back by several peo-ple. On the dashboard of the coroner's vehiclewas a Chargers placard.

Political powerhousessupport Measure Y
BY NICK C. TONKINDAILY SOUND STAFF WRITER
Battle lines are being drawn up inpolitical circles as the controversialMeasure Y heads for election in June.
An assortment of politicians, commis-sioners, and activists held a press confer-ence outside of City Hall yesterday tovoice support for the initiative whichwould give the go ahead for a new hous-ing project and bridge construction oncity land.
“It is a melding of development alongwith a tremendous amount of environ-mental concerns,” former mayor MartyBlum said.
The project by developer Mark Leeputs in 25 homes in a plot of land nearLos Positas Road across from ElingsPark. It builds a bridge across ArroyoBurro Creek, installs six acres of parkland, puts in bike lanes and pedestriantrail, restores a 1,800-foot section of thecreek to its natural state, and leaves 44acres of open space.
“All true environmentalists are going
to support this,” Lee said.Lee had been attempting to get
approval from the city council for sever-al years. However environmental groupshad been fighting the project, arguingthat the project would do much moreharm than good.
While council approved the project,the courts ruled that the city couldn’tgive up public land without voter con-sent. In January, the city council voted toput the measure on the June ballot.
Current Santa Barbara City Councilmembers Grant House and DaleFrancisco both spoke out in favor of theproposal.
House said the project would be anincredible benefit to the city and pro-vides creek preservation that the citycan’t do on its own, even despite meas-ure B.
“This is an environmental opportunitythat we cannot miss,” House said.
Francisco agreed, saying the numberof advantages this would provide to the

city is unprecedented in any other housing project.“It’s about as environmentally sound a development project
as you can get,” Francisco said. “This is truly a Santa Barbara-style residential development.”
Other political hitters chimed in with their support of theproject.
Dr. Dan Secord, former California Coastal Commissionerand Santa Barbara City Council member said it’s an excellentpublic-private partnership that can address a growing thedegradation of the creek.
“It’s a landowner that will spend hard money to improve acreek which is in dire need of work,” Secord said.
Planning Commissioner Addison Thompson said this projectisn’t a handout to the developer. He said the city gives space for25 homes and in return gets parkland, creek restoration, andopen space it wouldn’t be able to get any other way.
“From the city’s perspective, it’s win-win,” Thompson said.
Others approved of the new bicycle and pedestrian trails.Jeff Gorell, a resident of Bell Air Knolls, a neighborhood
located just off of Los Positas Road, said the project wouldmake the journey to Arroyo Burro Beach safer for his family.
“I have children and I cringe every time they go to Hendry’sBeach,” Gorrell said.
Architect and alternative transportation advocate Alex Pujosaid the project would provide better bike paths and walkingroutes.
“I’ve spent the last 20 years of my life campaigning for thiskind of pedestrian and bicycle access,” Pujo said.
But some say the project does none of these things. SantaBarbara Mayor Helene Schneider said that the claims that proj-ect doesn’t cost the city anything are misleading. Though Leemay foot the construction cost of the bridge, the ongoing costssurrounding its installation fall to the taxpayer.
“‘Yes on Y’ is making it sound less impactful than it reallyis,” Schneider said.
Schneider added that claims that Measure B funds are inad-equate are false. She said that money from that measure is used
to leverage state and federal grants to restore creeks far beyondwhat the city alone is capable of.
“We can do a project right without putting in 25 luxuryhomes,” Schneider said.
Environmental activist and former Creeks CommissionerDavid Pritchett also blasted the project, saying that the projecthas very little in the way of environmentalism. He said the term“restoration” is a misnomer and city staff on the CreeksCommission has never once approved the project.
He said all the project does is prevent the creek from erod-ing parts of the road and the housing project itself. It doesn’t doanything to help the long term conservation of the creek andputs limits on what future restoration efforts can be undertaken.
“They like to call it ‘restoration’ because it presents a posi-tive image to the public,” Pritchett said.
Pritchett said the development isn’t right for a city that oftengoes on about the need for more affordable housing, environ-mental conservation, and better transportation.
“This Veronica Meadows project achieves none of thosethings so why is the city perpetuating that?” Pritchett said.

Munch’s ‘The Scream’ sells for record $120 millionNEW YORK (Reuters) - Edvard Munch's
painting "The Scream," one of the world'smost recognizable works of art, sold for $120million at Sotheby's on Wednesday, setting anew record as the most expensive piece of artever sold at auction.
The sale at Sotheby's Impressionist andModern Art auction featured other works byPablo Picasso, Salvador Dali and Joan Miro,
but Munch's vibrant piece was the centerpieceof the auction in a salesroom packed with col-lectors, bidders and the media.
The vibrant pastel from 1895 was conserv-atively estimated to sell for about $80 millionat Sotheby's, but two determined biddersdrove the final price to $107 million, or$119,922,500 including commission, during a15-minute bidding war.
One of four versions by the Scandinavianpainter, which was being sold by Norwegianbusinessman Petter Olsen, "The Scream" easilyeclipsed the old auction record held by Picasso's"Nude, Green Leaves and Bust," which wentfor $106.5 million at Christie's two years ago.
The sales room at Sotheby's erupted in applauseand cheering when the hammer came down. Thebuyer, who won the auction via telephone bidding,
was not identified by Sotheby's. In recent decades"The Scream," a picture of a person with handspressed to head against a backdrop of swirlingvibrant colors, has become a ubiquitous image,appropriated for everything from coffee mugs toeditorial cartoons. For many mainstream art lovers,it is perhaps second in familiarity only to the"Mona Lisa" and is certainly among the best-known works of art still in private hands.
