Wastewater rates on riseThe City of Santa Barbara

is pondering a 10 percent hikein wastewater rates, in part topay for a settlement withenvironmental conservationgroup Channelkeeper oversewage spills in the last fiveyears.Santa Barbara Mayor

Helene Schneider said therate hikes are unfortunate, butalternatives would have beenmore expensive, and themoney from the hikes willpay for significant improve-ments.

“While it’s a sacrifice toratepayers, the long termimpact to the city sewer sys-tem will be beneficial,”Schneider said.City Attorney Steve Wiley

said under the terms of thesettlement, the city agreed topay $900,000 a year for thenext five years to replace anadditional two miles of sewerpipe per year. Costs beyondthat would have to go to theratepayers. The city replacesabout 2.6 miles per year rightnow.The El Estero Wastewater

Treatment Plant treats about 8million gallons of wastewater

a day piped in from homesand businesses in the SantaBarbara area, making it safeto run to the ocean.But in 2008 and 2009, the

city saw an increase insewage spills. While the citysaid most spills had been andsmall and cleaned up, citystaff undertook efforts toimprove the sewer system.The city increased the

number of sewer pipescleaned, switched to a bettercleaning method, andimproved the process used todetermine which pipes need-ed cleaning. Schneider saidstaff efforts paid off and 2010

and 2011 saw a drop in thenumber of spills, from 42 tojust 12.But in February 2011,

Channelkeeper told the city itwould be proceeding with alawsuit over the sewage spillsin the last few years, allegingviolations of the Clean WaterAct. The city andChannelkeeper entered intomediation before reaching asettlement in March of 2012.In addition to just extra

piping, the city is also over-hauling its sewage system.Without the settlement, the

Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider said itʼs an unfortunate that rates have to go even higher, but given the potential costs of extensive trial,she said itʼs better to have the money go to infrastructure instead of lawyers.

NEWS IN BRIEF

U.S. feeds China’s pig appetite

NEWS

(Reuters) - Inside a dimly lit barn in northeast Indiana, wherethe air smells faintly of corn and earth, the future of China's foodsupply is squealing for attention.A farmhand shuffles through the crowd of pigs inside pen 7E3,

patting their fleshy pink backs and checking their water trough.The animals here at the Whiteshire Hamroc farm have been bredfor one purpose: to be flown halfway around the world, on a jour-ney fueled by China's appetite for food independenceIn a country where pork is a culinary staple, the demand for a

protein-rich diet is growing faster than Chinese farmers can keepup. While Americans cut back on meat consumption to the low-est levels seen in two decades, the Chinese now eat nearly 10 per-cent more meat than they did five years ago.China's solution: to super-size its supply by snapping up mil-

lions of live animals raised by U.S. farmers as breeding stock -capitalizing on decades of cutting edge agricultural research inAmerica.By taking this step, say breeders and exporters, China will

move from small-scale backyard farms, to the Westernized tradi-tion of large consolidated operations to keep up with demand."I liken it to their telephone system," said Mike Lemmon, co-

owner of the Whiteshire Hamroc farm, which specializes inexporting breeding swine to China. "Most of China's mainlandwent from having no landlines to everyone having a cell phone.They're doing the same thing with farming."Focus on livestock genetics also represents an emerging eco-

nomic bonanza for two of the United States' most powerful indus-tries: technology and agriculture. Worldwide, the United Statesexported a record $664 million worth of breeding stock andgenetic material such as semen in 2011.But as fortune shines on breeders, concerns are being raised.

While U.S. consumption of meat falls, the price of producing apound of protein rises, meaning meat companies are seeing theirmargins shrink.

city had still been looking at a four per-cent increase in wastewater rates. Butwith the added costs of replacing morepipe, the city had to bump it up to 10 per-cent resulting in an estimated $3.60increase for single-family residentialcustomers. The rate increases would takeeffect after July 1st.Another hearing is expected in June.Schneider said it’s an unfortunate that

rates have to go even higher, but giventhe potential costs of extensive trial, shesaid it’s better to have the money go to

infrastructure instead of lawyers.“I’d much rather pay money toward

the system than the attorney fees,”Schneider said.Channelkeeper executive director

Kira Redmond said in the long run thiswould be better for Santa Barbara. Shesaid sewer water draining into the oceanhas been a statewide problem and thelawsuit isn’t the first of its kind.Without action, funding for adequate

wastewater treatment and distributioncan fall by the wayside in a recession,leaving issues to fester.“In a tough economy not enough

money goes to fix the problem,”

Redmond said.Though it can hit ratepayers in the

pocket, Redmond said clean water is animportant part of tourism economies likeSanta Barbara. More beach closures dueto dirty water mean less travelers in SB.The settlement puts the city on a clear

path to improving the sewage system andfocusing on areas with the biggest riskfactors for a spill.“It’s a necessary investment that’s

long overdue,” Redmond said.“At the end of the day this is going to

help the system,” Schneider said.

Understandingfinancial jargonMaking wise and informed

financial decisions is hardenough without having todigest the jargon and industryacronyms that go along withit. Even for sophisticatedinvestors, the language can bechallenging. So let’s breakdown the most common itemsyou will run across and boilthem down to what they real-ly mean.Equity vs. Fixed Income:

This is another way of saying,stocks vs. bonds. Anotherinterpretation to the root ofwhat it really is; ownershipvs. a loan.Mutual Fund vs. Exchange

Traded Fund (ETF): Theseare investment “pools” thattypically own a diverse groupof securities (could be stocks,bonds, commodities, realestate, etc.). They allow easyentrance and exit out of thefinancial markets. A mutualfund is priced once a day atwhich time new investorsenter and others exit. An ETF,is priced like a stock and peo-ple can buy and sell shares atanytime the market is open.Index Funds: Usually a

mutual fund or ETF that buysa basket of securities in anattempt to mimic the returnsof a particular stock exchangeor proxy. This could be adomestic index (S&P500,DOW, and NASDAQ) or aforeign exchange (Japan’sNikkei, Hong Kong’s HangSeng, England’s FTSE, etc.).Sector Funds: An “index”

is typically a broad collectionof different industries thatmake up our economy (trans-portation, banking, technolo-gy, retail, real estate, con-struction, etc.). A sector fund(mutual fund or ETF) allowsan investor to focus the hold-ings on a smaller piece of thepie. While some may want toinvest broadly into the “entiremarket,” others may want toonly focus their investmentsin the software sector as anexample.Active vs. Passive: For all

the above structures, you havea choice of hiring a “manag-er” that “actively” buys theunderlying securities (usuallywith the attempt of overlaying“skill” to try to improve per-formance) or you can buy theunmanaged “passive” index.There are pro’s and con’s toboth structures. Active invest-ing is usually more expensivewhile passive is generallycheaper.Portfolio: This is simply

the make up of your invest-ments. You can have a broadand vast amount of “diversi-fied” holdings or a few “con-centrated” positions.

Balance Sheet: This repre-sents what you own and whatyou owe. A statement of yourassets and liabilities.Risk / Standard Deviation:

This can be a complicated andoften times overlooked areaof investments. Risk is mostoften defined as “Beta.” If aninvestment has a Beta of “1,”that means (in theory), that ithas the same risk as the mar-ket it tracks. If the Beta ismore than 1, than it representsa higher risk and below 1, alower risk. A Beta of .8 repre-sents a 20% reduction in pre-sumed risk where 1.2 is a20% increase for example.What does risk really trans-

late into? That is whereStandard Deviation comesinto play. Taking you back toyour statistics courses, it is ameasurement of volatility orin layman terms, what is theexpected range of returns onthe high and low? The higherthe standard deviation, themore risk you are taking(compare the deviation ofyour portfolio vs. that of themarket for perspective).To understand your “poten-

tial” highs and lows, take theexpected return and then addand subtract 1,2, and 3 stan-dard deviations. Now youhave the 68%, 95% and 99%probability “book ends” forperformance expectation.

Mobilize for Earth DayThe Community

Environmental Council willhost the 2012 Earth DayFestival at Alameda Park onSaturday, April 21 from 11a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday,April 22 from 11 a.m. to 6p.m. with the theme“Mobilize.”The 2012 theme captures

the power of grassroots actionin protecting and preservingthe environment. This themereflects the history of EarthDay, from its small begin-nings in the wake of the 1969oil spill off Santa Barbara’sshores that spurred a group oflocal citizens to begin talkingabout a different way of look-ing at environmental systems.Widely acknowledged as

the birthplace of Earth Day,

Santa Barbara attracts nation-al media and celebrity atten-tion with its longstandingenvironmental reputation.The CommunityEnvironmental Council over-sees the annual festival inSanta Barbara, a tradition thatbegan in the spring of 1970.“Santa Barbara has a long

legacy with Earth Day. Infact, this festival is one of thelongest running, consistentlyheld, community organizedEarth Day celebrations in thecountry—and one of thelargest on the West Coast,”said Sigrid Wright, AssociateDirector of CEC.The 2012 Earth Day

Festival features approxi-mately 250 exhibitors whoembrace the goods and serv-ices aspect of theEcoMarketplace or promote

their cause in the ActivistSquare.The annual Green Car

Show continues in 2012 witha collection of efficient andalternatively fueled vehiclesbetween Los Angeles and SanFrancisco. Festival attendeescan participate in free Ride &Drives in the latest electricand hybrid vehicles. A work-ing Solar Carport will demon-strate how local residentsgenerate solar electricity byday and charge their electricvehicles by night.A vibrant “Bike World”

will feature free bike tune-upsand valet bike parking along-side a bike-powered mini-stage. The festival will end onSunday, April 22, with a 100-mile bike ride organized byEvolution of Man.The two-day festival fea-

tures music, organized byNew Noise Media Group, onthe main stage, alongsideorganic food booths and abeer and wine garden.LearningDen Preschool willhave a Kid’s Corner with artsand crafts, musical perform-ances, storytelling, facepaint-ing and more.The 2011 Santa Barbara

Earth Day Festival attractedover 38,000 visitors, includ-ing director James Cameronand actress Daryl Hannah.These festival participants,including local residents andSB visitors, show the desirefor greener technology andlifestyle solutions.“More people are attending

now than ever before and thesolutions that people are talk-ing about are increasinglysophisticated,” said Wright.

Montecito has its very ownBag Lady: the indomitableKathi King who advocates fora cleaner, greener SantaBarbara through her work atthe CommunityEnvironmental Council(CEC). The proverbial irondynamo in a velvet glove, sheis packaged in a petite,charming and earnest per-sona.And she makes things hap-

pen.Spearheading the “Choose

to Reuse” crusade in 2007,King has subsequently found-ed the “Rethink Your Drink”and “Where’s Your Bag”campaigns. The slogans areclever and catchy - the workbehind them deadly serious.Californians throw away 600plastic bags PER SECONDand use 19 BILLION plasticbags per year.As a Canadian transplant, I

find it unfathomable that thishistorically environmentallyconscious state shot down theban of single-use plastics. So,until the government steps upto the plate, people like KathiKing empower communitiesto take action in their ownhands.Like many of her genera-

tion, this is not King’s firstcareer.Armed with a degree in

Telecommunications andFilm, she worked at Lorimarfor several years during itsheyday, overseeing produc-tion of hit shows such as“Perfect Strangers” and “FullHouse.”

She loved the industry butwith a 60-70 hour workweekand the birth of her two chil-dren, there was no way shecould be a mom and continue.Her husband Jeff is a writer sothey were free to live outsideof L.A. but wanted to stay inclose proximity. They choseMontecito because of thegood schools and moved uphere in 1998.King “dove into Montecito

Union School”: joined thenewsletter, became a Boardmember, was PTA presidentfor two years. She spent somuch time at the school thatpeople mistook her for a staffmember. Ironically, althoughher children have graduated,she hasn’t – she’s stillinvolved with the MUS greencommittee and is a regularspeaker in the classrooms.When her youngest was in

third grade, King decided shewanted to do more than vol-unteer at the school, so shetook every environmentalclass offered at SBCC in2006-2007. (Her kids were 9and 13 and everybody didhomework together). Theclasses at SBCC led to herfirst step in community

activism when she joined agroup who went to city coun-cil to ask for a ban onStyrofoam food containersand plastic bags. Theyweren’t successful but thisonly made Kathi more deter-mined.Through a networking

opportunity, she connectedwith a woman who said, “Oh,I hate plastic bags and I havea foundation. How can I helpyou?” King formulated a pro-gram called “Choose toReuse” designed to educatecommunity members aboutsingle use plastics and theneed to eliminate them. Shebought several thousandreusable bags, had ShawnStussy design a cool graphiclogo and began her lecturecircuit in local schools, speak-ing primarily to six gradersabout environmental issues.All as a volunteer.This labor of love has now

become part of the work shedoes with Partners inEducation, a local non-profitthat brings speakers intoschools. Warm and reassur-ing, she walks the fine linebetween scaring the childrenand empowering them, kindof like Glinda the GoodWitchwho warns of the dangers buthappily tells of ways to avoidthem. Her audience isyounger and younger thesedays, with third and fourthgraders going home andtelling their parents what theyshould do about recycling andpollution.In addition, as Donor

Rather than scare people with facts that feeloverpowering, she starts with the basics.“Here’s what you can do today. Change yourtoilet paper. If you are using toilet paper thatis squeezably soft, you are killing 200-year -old trees. Stop using it! Use toilet paper madeout of recyclable content.“Bring your bag with you today. Don’t

drink bottled water.” There are a lot of thingsthat we can’t fix today, but we can do these.And Kathi King will be here to remind us.According to her, she plans to be involved withthis forever “the root of it all for me, as a par-ent, was that I started looking around andthinking that I wanted to be able to tell my kidsthat I did something to help leave the world agood place.”And you can too. So when you have fin-

ished reading this newspaper, Run, Don’tWalk, to your nearest recycling bin. Yourplanet will thank you. And please check outthe Community Environmental Council web-site at www.cecsb.org - it’s a treasure trove ofways to help and get involved. Tell them Kathisent you.

(Reuters) There is noblood, nor much gore. Nomatador, either, or even hiscolourful cloak. In SouthKorea, bull fights bull.Weighing in at 600 kg to

over 800 kg (1,322 to over1,764 lb), dun-colouredKorean Hanwoo bulls clashheads and horns in a sandbullring under the warm sun-shine of Cheongdo, a ruraltown in the hills about twohours from the capital ofSeoul.Once a regular village

entertainment in South Korea,bullfighting nearly died out asthe nation rapidly industri-alised, but festivals like theannual CheongdoBullfighting Festival helpkeep the cherished traditionalive."When I wake up, the first

thing I do is train my bulls,letting them drag tires. Then,I feed them with nutritious

porridge," said Lee Jin-gu, a59-year old rancher who hastrained fighting bulls forseven years."I once stayed in the pens,

sleeping next to my bulls for aweek," said Lee, who hadfour of his prize Korean bullsfighting their way through tothe quarter-finals.In all, 96 bulls are compet-

ing for the title of strongestbull during the festival, heldApril 18-22, for the top prizeof 7 million won.In one bout, last year's

champion, "Fighting",clashed with "Ggoltong",which means "Dullard," bel-lowing as he entered the ringand spectators cheered.After about three minutes

of shoving amid the clatteringof horns, billowing dust andshouting fans, their duel wasfinished. "Fighting" made itthrough to the next round ashis defeated opponent gave

way and trotted from the ring.The festival in its current

form has been going on since1999, although NorthGyeongsang province has ahistory of the sport goingback a thousand years.Traditionally, a bull would

have been the prized posses-sion of a well-off Koreanfarmer."I was fearful if our bull

lost the fight because my par-ents would scold me," saysSon Mal-jook, 68, who usedto take fodder to the creatureswhen she was a young girl.Cheongdo says that its

bullfights are more humanethan those in Spain becausethe bull is not killed by amatador."Spain's bullfight is

between man and bull andassumes that men will defeatbulls," said Lee Joong Geun,county executive ofCheongdo. "But Cheongdo's

bullfighting is an energeticfight between two bulls."A carnival atmosphere pre-

vails at the festival withcheerleaders and drummersprancing by the ring and a tra-ditional band playing in afrenzy of gongs, drums andstrings. Beer and local beefare sold at snack stands.One U.S. spectator admit-

ted to being initially bemusedby the concept of a clash ofthe bulls, but appeared tohave been won over."In the (United) States, I

have seen rodeo, bronco rid-ing, bull riding and also rop-ing. But I have never seen twobulls fighting each otherbefore," said Maria Oliveira.Lee Jin-gu, Fighting's

owner, confessed to a deepaffection for his animal. "It isa stronger devotion than par-ents might have towards theirsons and daughters," he said.
