DUIarrestsdown

BY JOSHUA MOLINADAILY SOUND EDITOR

A heavy law enforcement presenceduring the holiday season helpedreduce the number of drunken drivingrelated arrests, authorities said.

The number of DUI arrests wasdown by more than one-third.

Most importantly, authorities aretouting the fact that no one died onlocal roads from a drunken-drivingrelated accident.

"We are happy to report that ourdeputies and officers found fewer DUIsuspects this year than last, said JeffFarmer, senior deputy and campaigncoordinator for the Santa BarbaraCounty Sheriffs Department.

Throughout Santa Barbara County,authorities arrested 153 people thisyear, compared to 239 a year ago.

The so-called Avoid the 12 pro-gram refers to the number of lawenforcement agencies throughout thecounty.

The National Highway TrafficAdministration, in coordination withthe California Office of Traffic Safety,funds the program.

The CHP arrested 74 people, fol-lowed by the Santa Barbara PoliceDepartment, which arrested 29 people,for alleged drunken driving.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriffsdepartment arrested 20 people. Otheragencies arrested eight people or fewer.

Borders Blowout

Many regular customers lament the loss of the long-time Santa Barbara fixture as Borders sells off the last of its inventory.DAILY SOUND / Matt Graves

Shoppers scrounge for scraps as once-mighty retail giant enters its final days

BY NICK C. TONKINDAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENTThe tables, chairs, readers,

people-watchers, chess-players,and bargain book racks that oncethrived outside the front doors ofBorders are gone.

The patio is bare except for thesigns advertising the clearancesales and oak bookcaseon salefor $60, no returns.

The downtown Borders, theonce might behemoth of books,music and entertainment in SantaBarbara is turning its final page.

I liked the music onSaturdays, I liked the feeling ofthe center of town, Bordersshopper Mimi Veyna said. Ithink everyone will miss it.

For 15 years, Borders has beena staple of downtown SantaBarbara, serving as both a one-stop-shop for books, magazines,music, and movies, and a conven-ient meeting place with its caf,outside seating, and central loca-tion. So it came as a shock whenthe company announced inNovember that the store wouldshutter its doors this week.

Inside the store, shoppers scav-enged for what remained of thebooks, DVDs and CDs.

The stores entire stock of CDsand DVDs that once dominatedthe third floor has been reducedto the two bookcases right acrossfrom the caf.

Everything is on sale, books,

CDs, DVDs such as Dr.Who and Doll House. Eventhe metal stepladders used tostock bookcases are going for$150.

On the bottom floor the nor-mally crammed bookcases havehad their books consolidated ontothe easy to reach.

The Childrens section hasbeen picked clean with little forsale other than the shelves.

Train smacks tree, delays travelBY KYLE ROKES

DAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENTAmtrak and Union Pacific officials are

investigating Monday morning's acci-dent near El Capitan State Beach.

A train traveling from San LuisObispo to San Diego at 9:35 a.m., strucka eucalyptus tree laying on the track.

Engineers attempted an emergencystop, but because the stump was around abend and out of immediate sight, thecrew had little to no time to react,according to a Santa Barbara County FireDepartment.

None of the 130 passengers or eightcrew members was reported injured.

After firefighters cleared the tracks,the train moved on to Goleta on its ownsteam where it will remain for mechan-ical evaluation.

Verny Graham, a spokesperson forAmtrak, said that the train's engine was-n't damaged when it collided with whatshe said was a stump and not a wholetree.

The county Fire Department also saidthe train dragged the wood almost 100yards, coming to a stop a quarter of amile after impact.

Aaron Hunt, a spokesperson for UnionPacific, which owns the tracks, said thatboth organizations are conducting an

investigation he called a joint effort.Hunt said investigators would review

footage from the trains outer facingcameras.

Graham said such steps are standardprotocol whenever an accident occurs.

She also said the collision delayed

service for almost two hours.Some windows broke due to the

impact, so American Medical Responseteam members checked on everyone rid-ing in the six cars and one engine train.

Neither Amtrak nor Union Pacificclaim responsibility for the tree.

Im sorry to see it go, said Grover.Friendly atmosphere and the workers arereally helpful.

The shock to Santa Barbara bookloverswas compounded with the news that thenearby Barnes & Noble would also close itsdoors, leaving downtown with no largebookstores.

Im devastated with the loss of both ourdowntown stores, said Borders shopperSusan Basler, another Borders shopper. Icould see a womens clothing place, butcome on, give us a bookstore.

Athena Brown, another shopper, echoedBaslers sentiment, but noted that Bordersitself had shut down a few businesses on itsown.

Its pretty sad that its closing, saidBrown said. But Ive been coming heresince it opened and put the Earthling[Bookstore] out of business.

Shoppers attribute the chains decline tothe rise of the Internet.

Vicki Price says that she will buy online,and noted reports that Amazon sold more E-Books than hardcovers. When asked, sheadmits she might go paperless in the future.

I almost just bought [an iPad], Pricelaughed. But I didnt have the money.

But there might be another beneficiary tothe departure of the giant booksellers.

Erika Blum, a visitor from Boulder,Colorado, said a trip to the downtownBorders with her family was part of tradi-tion when she visits her mother twice a year.

Asked if she was going to start a new tra-dition, Blum nodded and said, Chaucers.

Time to put this past decade intothe history books, learn from it andquickly move on. But before wereview the critical milestones webelieve are important to reach in theNew Year, it may behoove us to do aquick review to see how lucky wetruly are. The past decade started withan unsustainable technology stockbubble that burst and plunged thestock market. This was all on theheals of the 9/11 attack and then theEnron scandal which further shookour financial system. The recessionthat ensued eventually dissipated andthe economy turned into the realestate bubble that we dont need torevisit. Oh, almost forgotbesideshaving two recessions in the decadewith one being only the second worstsince the Great Depression, we alsofought two wars.

All in all, for everything that hasoccurred and the fact we are in asgood as shape as we are may be amiracle of all miracles. I know asAmericans we dont necessarily see itthat way but few places on the planetcould go through this without havingsystematic failures. But the point nowis to look toward the future and hereare some economic and financialmilestones for 2011 that we believeyou should keep an eye on.

Bank Lending: Banks are the real

facilitators of money as they can take$1 and leverage it up to $10 in theform of loans they make available. Alot of attention has been placed uponthe Federal Reserve and their actionsbut we have a consumer driven econ-omy and when credit constricts at thatlevel, that translates into less realmoney in the system being used andthat dampens economic growth. Itscalled velocity and keep an eye onthose statistics hopefully moving inan upward direction (signaling morebusiness being done).GDP (Gross Domestic Product)

2.5% Range: The most recent eco-nomic consensus estimate is a 2.5%growth rate for 2011. What does thatmean? If we were in school thatwould roughly be a C+. To put it inperspective, we just emerged from theF-range. Keep an eye on this num-

ber to see if we are tracking toward itin the coming year.Home Price Stabilization: The

estimates we see are calling foranother 5% drop this year nationwide.We are still not out of the woods andthat makes sense for a number of rea-sons (pending foreclosures, loansunderwater, high unemployment,tight lending standards). In order forvalues to turn around, a good dose ofnew employment, economic growthand modest inflation would be veryhelpful. And yes, we need low interestrate loans to remain in place.Jobs: Our two last recessions were

jobless recoveries for perspectiveand it appears as though this one isgoing to take a loooong time toabsorb the unemployed. While weexpect the number to stay elevated(8.5%+ for the foreseeable future), wehave to see a downward trend, even ifsmall, in order to sustain a true eco-nomic recovery.Inflation: We would love to see

inflation. Not runaway out of controlprices but seeing increases in the 1.5-2% range to help stabilize businessactivity and to give people an incen-tive to not hold off on purchases(thus, driving economic activity). Theestimates we are seeing peg this num-ber at a low 1.3% (largely due to theoverhang of unsold homes, pending

NEWS IN BRIEF

Ice and Snow close GrapevineIce and snow in mountains north of Los Angeles kept a key

highway pass closed into a second day on Monday, idling manymotorists for hours and forcing others to make lengthy detoursaround Southern California's high country.

A 30-mile stretch of Interstate 5 known as the Grapevineremained shut down until late morning as road crews worked toplow and de-ice the eight-lane highway. It is the main artery link-ing L.A. County with Bakersfield and the rest of California'ssprawling Central Valley region.

The I-5 was jammed for miles after the California HighwayPatrol began halting traffic in both directions Sunday afternoon,forcing travelers to either pull off the road to wait or go hundredsof miles out of their way on alternative routes.

Portions of one east-west detour through the TehachapiMountains, Highway 58, also were closed at various intervals onMonday morning, the Highway Patrol said.

But by shortly after noon local time on Monday, traffic throughthe Tejon Pass on I-5 was reopened, though tire chains wererequired on vehicles heading over a number of the region's moun-tain highways, Highway Patrol officer Mike Harris said.

Brown sworn in as Calif. govJerry Brown was sworn in as California's governor on

Monday, returning to a job he held nearly three decades ago, andpledged a "tough budget" to turn around one of the most finan-cially strapped U.S. states.

In keeping with his message of austerity and painful choices,the veteran Democrat, who was the state's governor for two termsfrom 1975 to 1983, served hot dogs at his inaugural lunch aftertaking over from Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Inheriting a budget gap estimated at nearly $28 billion throughmid-2012, Brown has called for more spending cuts to balancethe books in California, the state with the largest population andworst credit rating.

He is also widely expected to push for a special election thatwould ask voters to extend temporary tax increases to help bal-ance the state's books.

Brown must present the Democratic-controlled state legisla-ture with a budget plan for the fiscal year beginning in July with-in a week. He said the plan he would present would be painful.

"At this stage in my life, I have not come here to embracedelay and denial," Brown told an audience in Sacramento, thestate capital, after taking the oath of office.

Brown also pledged to make environmental issues a top prior-ity and said he intended to meet his goal of bringing 20,000megawatts of energy from renewable sources online by 2020.

State Democrats recently rejected Schwarzenegger's plan toclose a roughly $6 billion shortfall in the current fiscal budget.They said they would wait to work on the budget with Brown.

Capturing the life of a modernBritish Monarch is difficult since his-torical interpretations can vary wide-ly. In the telling of the rise of KingGeorge VI to the throne of the BritishEmpire, we are treated to a deliciousblend of empathy and comedy.

George VI (Albert Frederick ArthurGeorge; 1895 1952) was King ofthe United Kingdom and theDominions of the BritishCommonwealth from 1936 until hisdeath. He was also the last Emperorof India (until 1948), and the lastKing of Ireland (until 1949). His riseto head of state on December 11,1936 followed the somewhat scan-dalous decision by his elder brotherEdward VIII, who had become kingone year earlier, to abdicate thethrone and marry the woman I love,the twice-divorced American, WallisSimpson. George VI was succeededin death in 1952 by his eldest daugh-ter, Elizabeth II, the current Queen ofEngland.

The focus of The Kings Speechis Georges (Colin Firth) stutteringwhich had plagued him since child-hood. Since he lived a quiet life outof view of the public, his personalembarrassment was shared only withthose close to him. By the 1930s,due primarily to the invasive mediumof radio, George (Bertie as he wasknown by his family) was reluctantlythrust into many public situationswhere he had to expose his reticentspeaking ability.

The counter play in the story is theconfident and unorthodox Australian-born speech therapist named LionelLogue (Geoffrey Rush). The futureking and Logue engage in a love-haterelationship that includes a series ofvocal and physical exercises that arequaint and amusing by todays stan-

dards. The important fact is that theyworked. Bertie and the nation cameto have confidence in his leadershipand important national voice duringthe dark days of World War II.

Although The Kings Speechdoesnt overly psychoanalyze the rea-sons for Berties stammer, there is anot-so-subtle implication that it wasdue in no small part to the intimida-tion continually rendered by hisfather, King George V. The royalfamily is not known for nurturing itsyoung, but rather handed off the rear-ing of children to nannies and ser-vants. Berties father seemed intenton stiffening the backbone of his sonby passing on the lessons he himselfhad learned as a child, namely, thatfear will make you a man.

There are two lessons inherent inthis tale: The first is that there is nosubstitute for parental nurture when itcomes to teaching the next generationhow to love both self and neighbor, aswell as community and countryman.The second is that a confident, assur-ing and inspiring voice by a leaderis critical in shaping the confidence,or lack of it, in a nation. FranklinRoosevelt, John Kennedy, and RonaldReagan are remembered as much for

the national tone they set as for thepolitical accomplishments of theiradministrations.

George VI and his wife Elizabeth(better known as the Queen Mum)became among the best-loved royalsof the 20th century due in no smallpart to their leadership during WorldWar II. When the Queen Mum diedat 101 years of age in 2002, she wasrevered as one of the most belovedpeople in England. The confidencethey both displayed during their earlyyears in the 1930s was greatlyenhanced by the gifted teaching of alittle known speech therapist whogave England its voice.

Discussion for those who haveseen this film:

1. Confidence is difficult to buildin a child. How did your parents helpyou become confident, or how didthey hamper this process? If youhave children, how are you doing sowith them?

2. The monarchy of England hastaken some hits recently. Do youbelieve it is a relic of the past or aunifying presence?

3. There are many mannerisms,such as stuttering, that can plaque aperson. What mannerism do you havethat has hampered you? How are youworking to overcome it?

FROM THE HEARTEvolution of the species

Well gang, we made it. Another year...another spin of the incredible wheel of lifefor us all.

Today I'd like to introduce my "ThinkingOutside Of The Box Challenge for theBetterment of the Human Race". I'll be thefirst participant. I say let's start using psy-chics at the airports to detect any dark aurasemanating from potential security threats.Does anyone have a problem with that?

And of course, what would a new year bewithout predictions. Well, I've never dabbledin witchcraft but I prognosticate that everyparent in 2011 will question at least once"whether this child comes from my loins"after witnessing an incredible display ofgoofiness from their offspring. (I know youstill luv em.)

My hopes for society in this nuevo ano?How about a lighter touch on the testos-terone throttle? It's obvious we live in the"Age of Aggression" when two offeringsfrom the benign Food Channel are"Cupcakes Wars" and "Man vs. Food"(where food is the ENEMY). Jeez!

My 2011 wishes for you, my friends? As

much joy and fulfillment as your cup canhold. Yes, I'm aware that as sure as dogssniff trees and politicians lie, both good andbad await us all in the next twelve months.

Laughter and tears,celebrations and com-miserations...it's allpart of the deal, thecontract of life that wereceived on day one ofour existence.

I know it's some-times difficult to dodgethe bad, but definitelygo for the joy whenev-er you can. Stray awayfrom outward argu-

ments and inner conflicts and find the eter-nal peace inside your own heart. Let thatclarity and wisdom make this upcoming yeara wonderful celebration of your time onearth.

foreclosures, high unemployment and a tonof slack that still exists in the economy).Mom and Pop: Small business is the

backbone to this country and we need tostart seeing those empty store fronts fillingup again. Smaller firms have an additionalhurdle to get over in that they have lessaccess to capital (i.e. they cant go to WallStreet and issue stock or bonds). Expandedlending programs would be welcome here. Watch the Fed: The Federal Reserve

has gone to heroic levels in an attempt tostimulate the economy. The lesson learnedfrom the Great Depression is to error onthe side of being overly aggressive and thatseems to be the playbook they are follow-ing. Watch for changes in their positioning.A tightening policy is usually an indica-tion that the economy is getting stronger intheir viewpoint. Further loosing is anindication they believe the economy isstalling.State and Federal Budgets: The gov-

ernment has to stop spending as much as itdoes but their infusion into the economyover the past two years was necessary.Expect layoffs and cutbacks but they are

going to have to do so at a reasonable paceso that the private sector can absorb thepeople. The future health and strength ofour economy depends on more fiscalrestraint and their spending patterns haveto start to reverse.Dollar: Our biggest concern with infla-

tion probably exists here as our importedmaterials and energy are highly susceptibleto the change in the dollar. If you see astrong dollar and an economy that is gain-ing speed, those television commercialsmay quickly change from how to buy goldto how to dump it.

The outlook summary for 2011 is farbetter today than it was just a few monthsago. Dont expect gang buster economicgrowth as it takes time for these things toturn around. However, we appear to begoing in the right direction, albeit slowerthan we all would wish for with hurdlesthat still exist.

Master of the Legend of Santa Barbara2010 brought many surprises to the art

world, and some of the trends I watched atinternational auctions looked very promis-ing. The global art market is becomingdiverse, with heavy sales being made inBrazil, Russia, India and China, and livingartists selling very well, along with salesby artists who had previously neverentered the auction world. And inDecember 2010, art is selling better thanlast spring, which is a great indicator.

One of the surprises of the year was asale by The Master of the Legend ofSanta Barbara, a 15th C. FlemishRenaissance painter who scholars recog-nize only by his distinctive style. I wasintrigued to learn the world had an artistwho was devoted to the patron saint of ourcity, and found a work by this artist in theMetropolitan Museum of Art in New YorkCity, an alter panel called AbnersMessenger before David, 1480, oil onwood panel. The master also painted awork in the Walters Museum of Art in

Baltimore St. Barbara Directing theConstruction of a Third Window in HerTower, 1470-1500, in which we seeBarbara supervising the addition of a third

window to her prison-tower as a sign of hernew-found belief inthe Holy Trinity.Theres a sculpture, apolychrome Santos, inour HistoricalMuseum of this sub-ject as well.

The legend ofSanta Barbara here inour town began in1602 when SebastianVizcaino dedicatedour Franciscan

Mission to St. Barbara because his shipwas saved off our coast on December 3,1602, St. Barbaras feast day eve. But poorSaint Barbara has since been downgradedtwice in history, once in 1729 when St.

Peter was assigned to her feast dayinstead, and once more in 1969, when thePope removed her from the CatholicCalendarium Romanum.

But Barbaras earliest worshippers wereArabian not tanned blonde Californians.The earliest written record of her martyr-dom is the Golden Legend, a 14th C.compilation of stories of saints associatedwith the feast days of the Catholic ChurchCalendar. It is said that in the late 3rdearly 4th C., in a time of Christian perse-cution, Barbara was born to a tyrannicalRoman father in a city in Asia Minor.Barbara grew to be both learned and beau-tiful, and, seeing her beauty, her fathersecluded her from men by imprisoning herin a tower built for her. Barbara read theteachings of Origen, a great Christian doc-tor, and, embracing Christianity, the maid-en ordered a third window to be built inthe tower, which proclaimed to all herfaith in the Trinity.

were Roman enemies of the state;Romans worshipped their Gods.

Barbaras father tried two tactics toturn her back to the Roman Pantheon:he handed his daughter over to theRoman Supreme Court judge and alsoarranged for her to marry a wealthyolder Roman. When Barbara refused torepent and marry, the judge ordered herexecution. Her barbarous father was sooutraged that he acted as executionerand severed her head. As he put downhis sword, the father was struck bylightning.

Her cult arose in the 9th C. and blos-somed in the 12th C. when her relicswere moved from her grave inConstantinople to St. Michaels Golden

Domed Monastery in Kiev, and trans-ferred in 1930 to St. VladimirsCathedral in Kiev. Worshippers invokedSt. Barbara as a protectress againstlighting, flame and fire, which is inter-esting, considering our many SantaBarbara fires recently.

She is the patron saint of miners, whoneed protection from gun power, explo-sives, and fires, and mining towns suchas the Bavarian Kuttenberg had been acenter of Barbara worship, building theBarbara Cathedral in 1388. All through-out European mine sites you may haveseen Barbara alters deep undergroundthrough the ages.

She is the patron saint of anyonewho works with explosives or fire, suchas military engineers, smiths, can-noneers, artillery men and anyone whofaces violent sudden death. The can-

noneers of Lillie in France commis-sioned in 1417 the Confreres de SainteBarbe as recognition of Saint Barbaraas guardian. Her patroness sped throughFrance, Italy and Germany --- for thosewho played with fire.

A painting of Saint Barbara hangs inthe office of the U.S. Chief of theBureau of Naval Ordinance in the NavyNuclear Weapons Association.

Amazing to learn the legend of thepatron saint of lightening and explosiveflame is our own towns benefactress!Happy, Healthy, Fire-Free New Year,Santa Barbara!

Westmont prepares for hugeVanguard doubleheader

The New Year isn't wasting anytime when it comes to big local games,as evidenced by the handful of coach-es who reported at Monday's SantaBarbara Athletic Round TableLuncheon, the first of 2011.

Westmont basketball, which hadtwo Athlete of the Week honorees inPreston Branson and Angel Blanco,hosts a huge women's and men's dou-bleheader on Tuesday night as GoldenState Athletic Conference foeVanguard pays a visit to MurchisonGym.

The Vanguard women are rankedninth in the nation, and defeated theNo. 21 Warriors by just two points inlast year's GSAC ChampionshipGame. Westmont is coming off of winsover No. 11 Westminster and anotherNAIA standout in Georgetown ofKentucky.

"Hopefully a lot of people willcome out to watch us tomorrow," saidcoach Kirsten Moore. "Nobody on ourteam has ever beaten them untiltomorrow."

Moore was accompanied by Blancoand Vanessa Farias, who is not a starterbut leads the team in scoring nonethe-

less. The Warriors host Azusa Pacific,which shares first place in the GSACwith Vanguard, on Saturday.

Westmont men's coach John Moorebrought along the future of his pro-gram Preston Branson, MarcusFarrand and Jason Ritchey. Branson, asophomore, is actually the present. Hewas named Athlete of the Week afterhitting a buzzer-beater to beat BethanyLutheran and then scoring a whopping40 points the next day against BritishColumbia Canada's second-rankedteam as the Warriors won the TomByron Classic.

Moore predicted that Farrand willend his career as Westmont's all-timeleader in blocked shots and said thatRitchey will step into a big role afterthe graduation of star forward DanRasp. The Warrior men have won fivestraight since the last luncheon, put-ting them at 10-3 heading into Tuesdaynight's game.

"This game tomorrow night is cru-cial, but as I look ahead a little bit toAzusa (on the road Saturday), there's alittle bit of a payback opportunitythere. They beat us and kept us out ofthe National Tournament last year,"

said Moore.

DONS AND DP SOCCER: Thebiggest local story of 2010 wasarguably Santa Barbara High's victoryover Dos Pueblos in the CIF BoysSoccer Final in front of 8,000 fans atHarder Stadium. Not much haschanged to tame the rivalry this sea-son, as the teams already met in theBuena Tournament title match, whichthe Dons won in penalty kicks.

The Dons have also won the presti-gious South Torrance Tournament forthe second straight year, and luncheonatendee Tony Alfaro was namedAthlete of the Week (due to the longbreak there were two awards doled outto each gender) for heading in a game-winner in the quarterfinal and beingnamed MVP of the tourney.

Now Santa Barbara faces a hugeweek with a 7 p.m. matchup onTuesday against San Marcos at LaPlaya Stadium, then a rematch with theChargers on the same turf Thursday at6 p.m.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEKBrittny Hummel, San Marcos Water Polo

Hummel is the undisputed leader of theRoyals' program, and she displayed it in thepool over over the Holidays by scoring threegoals in a win against Long Beach Poly, fivein a league win over Buena and three more

against Bishop's of SanDiego. She's also the team'stop defender. But coachBrian Roth said that herdedication to the team hasbeen much more important.Hummel was invited toattend a friend's 18th birth-day at Disneyland for a fewdays last week, and approached Roth to seeif she could miss a practice because of it. Heleft it in her hands, and sure enough sheshowed up at practice without an ounce ofresentment.

"I really applaud her, and I think the factthat she won Athlete of the Week is reallymore of a result of the choices she's madeover the years... She made that choicebecause it went in line with her integrity andwho she is as a person," said Roth.
