Photos by Victor Maccharoli / DAILY SOUNDA survey will be conducted to see if there is support for raising theʻbed tax, ̓among other issues.

The City of Goleta opted to spring $20,500 for a communitysurvey on an increase in bed taxes.The city has been pondering increasing its current transient

occupancy tax, better known as a “bed tax," by two percent. Bedtaxes are paid by visitors staying in any Goleta lodging.Because it isn’t paid by local residents, bed tax measures areeasier to pass than other increases.But council members expressed skepticism about an actual

tax measure. Any increase would have to go before the voters inNovember and with a number of proposals already on the bal-lot, getting a measure passed would be difficult.“If anything says ‘tax’ they’re not going to vote for it, regard-

less of the fact that this is a tax on people who come to our com-munity,” Council member Roger Aceves said.Aceves added that the city would already see some revenue

increases from the expiration of its revenue neutrality agree-ment with the county, allowing the city to keep a larger share ofits tax revenues. He also pointed out the city had other bed andsales tax streams coming in such as a Marriot hotel, several newstores in the Camino Real Marketplace, and potentially a TargetStore.Council member Margaret Connell said with an economy

showing slow signs of growth, it’d be hard to convince votersthat the city needed“It may be difficult to make the argument that we need this

enhancement of our revenues at this particular time,” Connellsaid.Connell did note that the revenue boost still comes after sev-

eral years of decline and cuts in services.“It may look like we’re getting a bump, but it’s a bump that’s

filling a hole,” Connell said.But the survey gained traction when council member

Michael Bennett said it could show the council a lot more thanjust what the community thinks about the bed tax. With anoption of 35 to 55 questions, Bennett said the council couldstand to gain a lot of information about how the communityfeels about service levels and council priorities.“I’d like to know what their thoughts are,” Bennett said.He said similar surveys in the past had proved very helpful

towards the city.Mayor Ed Easton agreed. He said the survey would show one

way or another which direction the city should go, and couldgive the council information it might not have had before.“I’m never going to say that I don’t want information,”

Easton said. “In this particular case, it seems like a good time todo that.”The argument swayed most of the other council members and

the measure passed 4—1 with Aceves still opposed.

A proposal to plant trees along the side of the freewaysparked a round of debate at the Goleta City Council yesterday.The plan being put forward by the nonprofit conservation

group Goleta Valley Beautiful would put 188 trees along theNorth side of Highway 101 between the Los Carneros and GlenAnnie and Storke Road interchanges. The trees would be com-posed of 14 different local and Mediterranean species.The project is funded through Environmental Enhancement

and Mitigation Grant and falls under CalTrans’ jurisdiction.However, water for maintaining the trees during a three yearperiod would have to come from one of the city meters underthe current proposal. The trees will be planted over a one month period between

October and December. But the timing and lack of consideration for the city vexed

the council. Many members felt the city had been asked toendorse a project without being allowed to give any input.Aceves noted that the application used only CalTrans and SantaBarbara County guidelines when considering the landscaping. “But at the very last minute they want us to support the proj-

ect,” Aceves said. “I find that troubling.”Council member Paula Perotte agreed and asked if the city

could send the plan before the Design Review Board beforeapproving. But David Fainer, president of Goleta Valley

Beautiful, said delaying the project could threaten the grantapproval and might kill the project. “To go through a process there and come back to you on a

time basis really doesn’t work in this situation,” Fainer said.“We think there’s a terrific benefit for the Goleta communitythat’s on the line here.”Steven Wagner, director of Community Services for the city,

added that because the proposed location of the trees, CalTranshas final say on their layout, not the city. “It’s in the middle of our jurisdiction, but we really don’t

have any control over what gets planted in the CalTrans Rightof Way,” Wagner said.City Manager Dan Singer added that under the city’s new

Urban Forest Management Plan, a matter like this would havegone to the Tree Advisory Board. However, busy with otherissues, the city had yet to create the board, leaving no authori-ty level between city staff and the council. Council member Michael Bennett put forward a motion to

approve use of the city’s water meter but deliberately avoidedan official statement of support by the council. It passed 3—2with Perotte and Aceves opposed.Council member Margaret Connell suggested the city should

look into establishing a Tree Advisory Board.“It should be a somewhat urgent matter to get to where we

can establish a tree advisory board so that we don’t find our-selves in this situation in the future,” Connell said.

A major earthquake struck Mexico on Tuesday, unleashing panicas it damaged hundreds of buildings and caused homes in the capi-tal to bounce like "trampolines".Office workers fled into the street when the 7.4-magnitude quake

shook Mexico City for more than a minute. Cell phone lines wentdown, buildings were evacuated, traffic snarled and the stockexchange had to suspend trading early.The quake hit hardest in the southwestern state of Guerrero,

where around 800 houses were damaged, officials said. The stategovernor Angel Aguirre said he had reports of homes being knockeddown, though state authorities could not confirm this.The tremor was one of the strongest to hit the country since the

devastating 8.1-magnitude earthquake of 1985, which killed thou-sands in Mexico City.

Illinois House of Representatives, was leading with 76 percent ofthe vote with more than 80 percent of the ballots counted, accordingto the Chicago Board of Elections.Federal prosecutors said they recorded Smith accepting $7,000 in

cash from a government informant in exchange for writing a lettersupporting a state grant for a day care center.Smith was indicted by a grand jury, arrested, and freed on bond.

He has yet to enter a plea in the case. If convicted, Smith could facea maximum of ten years in prison.

SF mayor suspends sheriff

San Francisco's mayor suspended embattled Sheriff RossMirkarimi on Tuesday and initiated misconduct proceedings toremove him from office after the sheriff admitted to restraining hiswife during a quarrel on New Year's Eve.Mirkarimi, who in January became the city's first new sheriff in

three decades, had faced pressure to resign since pleading guilty lastweek to a lesser misdemeanor charge in his domestic violence case,in a deal his supporters had said would allow him to keep his badgeand gun."Ross Mirkarimi has now pled guilty to falsely imprisoning his

wife. After careful review of the City Charter and the evidencebefore me, I am suspending and formally charging Ross Mirkarimiwith official misconduct," Mayor Ed Lee said in a statement.The announcement came shortly after Mirkarimi, whose saga has

stirred a local political uproar and drawn intense media coverage,told reporters he had no intention of resigning and would be happyto face an ethics committee and the city's board of supervisors. BBEEAACCHH SSTTAATTUUSS RREEPPOORRTT :

Goleta city staff said 2011 had been a busy year in theirGeneral Plan progress report.The loss of the controversial Redevelopment Agency had

hurt the fledgling city. With its RDA gone only 10 years in, thecity may not see a remodel of old town, and millions of dollarsin affordable housing may not be available.Vyto Adomaitis, director of Neighborhood Services and

Public Safety, said despite the loss of the RDA, staff wouldcontinue to look for ways to fund projects and housing needs.“With the dissolution of the RDA, it did not dissolve the

needs and challenges that remain in our town,” Adomaitis said.But the city still had plenty of good news despite the RDA

setbacks. The city completed seven residential units in 2011with another 118 under construction.The city had 22 active capital improvement projects totaling

$106 million, including the San Jose Creek Flood Control,Hollister Avenue Bridge replacement, and the Cathedral OaksInterchange Project. A tally of all capital work boasted 86 milesof improved streets, 5,092 square feet of sidewalk repaired, and1,994 square feet of damaged driveways fixed.The city conducted safety audits at Ellwood Beach and

repaired the damaged Caisson well head and removed old pierpilings at Ellwood Beach. Removal of oil pipelines also gotunderway at Haskell’s Beach.And it held public forums for the Monarch Butterfly

Inventory and Habitat Management Plan. That included thedocent program and the removal of several oil wells.Council member Paula Perotte, now in her second year on

council, thanked city staff for the hard work they put into 2011.“As I look at this I think, ‘Oh my gosh, look what we’ve

done,’” Perotte said to city staff. “You should be proud of whatyou’ve accomplished in 10 years, but especially last year.”

Playing with one of the more enduring controversies of hisadministration, President Obama joked on Tuesday that he hadthe perfect place for a gift confirming his Irish heritage: rightnext to his much ballyhooed birth certificate.Visiting Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny gave Obama the

“formal certificate” at an evening reception in honor of St.Patrick’s Day, which earlier saw Maryland Governor MartinO’Malley singing upbeat Gaelic-inspired tunes alongside aband.“This will have a special place of honor alongside my birth

certificate,” Obama said to raucous applause and laughter.A lot of brouhaha was made over Obama’s ancestral ties to

the island nation.

The president recounted his third great grandfather FalmouthKearney’s immigration from the town of Moneygall — whichObama visited as part of his official trip to Ireland last May –to New York City in 1850. He went on to praise Irish influencein American culture and history.“The green strands they have woven into America’s heart,

from their tiniest villages to our greatest cities, is somethingtruly unique on the world stage,” Obama said.On hand to help the president celebrate the occasion was his

eighth cousin Henry Healy, whom the president met on his visitlast year. Healy had also accompanied the president Saturday tothe The Dubliner, a Washington pub, where they shared a pintof Guinness.

The case of an unarmed black teenager shot dead by a whiteneighborhood watch captain who police have failed to arrest will gobefore a grand jury, Florida prosecutors said on Tuesday.State prosecutor Norm Wolfinger made the announcement as the

victim's family lawyer said 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was on hiscellphone with a girlfriend, giving her a chilling, minute-by-minuteaccount of what was happening in the moments before he died.Police in the central Florida town of Sanford where Martin was

gunned down have not arrested neighborhood watch volunteerGeorge Zimmerman. They did not return phone calls on Tuesdayseeking comment on the case, which has sparked widespread pub-lic outrage since the release of 911 emergency tapes last week.Family lawyer Ben Crump said the girlfriend's testimony shed

new light on the killing and would show that Zimmerman targetedMartin because he was black."This confirms that Trayvon Martin was killed only because he

was a young black man who was profiled by Zimmerman," Crumptold Reuters.Phone records show the girl, who Crump would not identify

because she is a minor, had been talking to Martin off-and-on allday on February 26, and can provide convincing evidence that hewas behaving normally, Crump said."Her call connects the dots to completely destroy what

Zimmerman said (to the police) about ‘this kid was up to no good,'"Crump said. "This kid was simply trying to walk home and get outof the rain while he talked to his little friend. And that's all he wasdoing. He was completely innocent."Martin was walking home from a convenience store, where he

went to buy snacks shortly before the NBA All-Star basketballgame, when Zimmerman spotted him. Zimmerman called SanfordPolice to report a suspicious person in the neighborhood and then,while armed with a handgun, followed Martin despite the policedispatcher telling him not to.The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division and the FBI said

on Monday that they had opened an investigation into the shooting.Police have declined to arrest the 28-year-old Zimmerman and

turned the case over to prosecutors, citing Florida's "Stand YourGround" law, enacted in 2005 and now in effect in about 20 otherstates. The law provides a shooter with wide latitude to claim akilling was in self-defense.Crump said Martin got off the phone with the girl for a few min-

utes because he was running to get out of the rain.The two reconnected by cellphone for the last time at 7:12 p.m.

for four minutes. Police say they arrived at the scene at 7:17 to find

Martin dead from a gunshot, Crump said.The girl told Crump that Martin told her he was being followed

and that she had encouraged him to run."She knew details about what went on because he was telling

her," Crump said.He said the girl heard the initial confrontation between Martin

and Zimmerman."Trayvon said, 'Why you following me, man?'" and Zimmerman

said, 'What are you doing here?'" Crump said.He said the girl could tell by Martin's voice that he was then

pushed. She thinks Martin's cellphone headset came off and thenthe call was disconnected, Crump said.He said that when she called back, the girl did not get an answer

and knew nothing else until she heard of Martin's killing on thenews.The girl was so traumatized after learning what happened that

she was unable to attend Martin's wake and had to be hospitalized,Crump said.Crump said the investigation of Martin's killing is unfolding in

typical fashion for a case involving a black victim in America, withpolice and prosecutors prolonging an investigation before passingthe buck to a grand jury.He also criticized police for performing a background check on

Martin and testing him for drugs and alcohol, procedures that hesaid had not been applied with Zimmerman."It's almost like a playbook," Crump said.Crump said Martin's parents believed nothing would have been

done about their son's killing had they not brought in their ownlawyer to put the spotlight on the case."Arrest George Zimmerman for the killing of Trayvon Martin in

cold blood today," Crump said. "It's about equal justice."Highlighting interest in the case, more than 628,000 people have

signed a petition on Change.org, a social action website, calling forZimmerman's arrest.Wolfinger, the state attorney, called for patience as he announced

that a grand jury would be convened on April 10 to investigate thekilling.In what were thought to be her first public comments on the case

on Tuesday, state Attorney General Pam Bondi said investigatorsfrom the Florida Department of Law Enforcement would helpensure a "complete and thorough review" of all facts surroundingMartin's death."No stone will be left unturned in this investigation," Bondi said.

Lawyer: Phone call reveals finalmoments of slain Florida teen

Florida Governor Rick Scott has signed a law allowing stateemployees to be randomly tested for drugs, a measure likely todraw a legal challenge over its constitutionality.The Republican governor signed the Drug-free Workplace

Act, which will permit state agencies to randomly test up to 10percent of their employees, his office said on Monday.Tests could be conducted once every 90 days under the

measure, which takes effect July 1. It would allow agencies tofire or discipline employees the first time they test positive fordrugs.Employers could choose to refer such employees to an alco-

hol and drug rehabilitation program.

Supporters of the law said it mirrors long-standing practicesin private industry, but critics called the measure intrusive andunnecessary."Just like businesses do every day in the private sector, we,

as a state, want to ensure a healthy and productive workforce,"spokesman Lane Wright said in an email.Lawmakers in several states have passed similar measures in

recent years. The courts have generally upheld random drugtesting for workers in jobs that involve public safety."Governor Scott signed this law in clear defiance of consti-

tutional principles," said Howard Simon, executive director ofthe American Civil Liberties Union of Florida.

When I was three years old, my dad brought home achildren’s book called “Three Little Kittens.” There wassomething enchanting about this simple little tome with thecartoon kitties dancing merrily across the cover. Everyevening, my mom and I would curl up in bed and shewould read the words aloud to me. When she started todoze off – from sheer boredom, I’m sure – I would contin-ue reading because, by now, I had memorized every word.Little could I have known at the time that reading a tale

about “kittens who lost their mittens”would help catapult me into a futurethat would revolve around writing andanimal welfare. By the time I became a student in Mr.

Frye’s fifth grade class at HardingElementary School, I was activelyinvolved in writing short stories aboutcats and dogs, as well as a myriad ofother subjects close to my heart. Onmost afternoons, I could be foundperched high up in my tree house in agiant avocado tree, scribbling away.There, I poured out my thoughts and

feelings onto the crisp, white paper. That tree house andavocado tree are gone now, but my memories of them leftan indelible mark on me. I knew that someday I would usethe written word as a way to share my message about theimportance of kindness and respect to animals, people andthe planet. I’m taking you on this walk down memory lane to pay

tribute to the many people who have inspired me over theyears. As long-time readers of this column know, I foundedAll for Animals, a nonprofit humane education organiza-tion, in 1997. Since that time, I have been fortunate to workwith countless individuals, from the organization’s board ofdirectors to members of the community, whose tirelessefforts make the world a better place for animals. It is because of the hard work and dedication of so many

people that All for Animals was recently selected as arecipient of an Anniversary Grant Award from MontecitoBank & Trust. Each year, as part of the bank’s anniversary(the bank first opened its doors on St. Patrick’s Day in1975), bank employees vote for 10 nonprofit organizationsthat each receive a $1,500 grant. Last Wednesday evening, I had the honor of attending

the awards ceremony where I met Edgar Orozco, a BankingServices Specialist at Montecito Bank & Trust, who nomi-nated our organization for an award. I’d like to send aheartfelt thank you to Edgar, as well as Jamie Gilles,Montecito Bank & Trust’s Community Outreach & EventsManager, for believing in our mission, to Brock Hoffmanand everyone at Cox Communications for donating theirtime and resources to create a custom video for each awardrecipient to use for promotional purposes and, of course, toMichael Towbes, chairman of the bank, for making thesegrant awards possible. It is through the vision and leader-ship of individuals and businesses like CoxCommunications and Montecito Bank & Trust, that ourcommunity is a vibrant place to live and work; learn andgrow.

Over the years, All for Animals’s mission has evolvedand today, we are one of the leading providers of humaneeducation programs in Santa Barbara, giving children fromall backgrounds the opportunity to create safe and satisfy-ing relationships with animals that will last a lifetime. Wepublished our children’s book, “Animals Have Feelings,Too!” in October and have already given away copies tonearly 1,000 preschool and elementary school children!Our work would not be possible without the countless

number of teachers, principals, librarians and directors ofchildren’s organizations who have welcomed us into theirclassrooms, where we work together to educate childrenabout proper pet care, dog bite prevention, pet overpopula-tion and many other important topics. What we are doing inclassrooms today is planting seeds of empathy and compas-sion in the hearts of children so they grow into adults whohave symbiotic and meaningful relationships with the ani-mal kingdom.I invite you to learn more about All for Animals by visit-

ing our website at allforanimals.com. And, rest assured,even though that old tree house and avocado tree may beancient history, I’m still writing and working to make a dif-ference for kids and animals everywhere.

Karen Lee Stevens is the founder and president of Allfor Animals, a nonprofit organization that is dedicated tocreating a compassionate world through humane educa-tion. You may reach her through the organization’s web-site at allforanimals.com.

Apple Inc's new iPad throws off a lot moreheat than the previous version, lending weight tocomplaints on Internet forums that the hot-sell-ing tablet computer could get uncomfortablywarm after heavy use, an influential consumerwatchdog found after running tests.Consumer Reports, a widely followed group

that reviews everything from electronics to cars,found that Apple's new tablet racked up temper-atures of 116 degrees Fahrenheit (47 Celsius)after 45 minutes of running an intense actiongame, up to 13 degrees F hotter than the previ-ous model under similar conditions.Using a thermal imaging camera, it ascer-
