Councilman Dale Francisco blastedportions of a government transparen-cy law, good government and pro-transparency advocates are blastingback.

At a city councilmeeting two weeksago, Franciscoopenly and emphati-cally objected to thepart of the BrownAct that bans a quo-rum of the citycouncil from dis-cussing city matters

in private. He said members should beable to meet privately as long as theyvote in public.Now, after his controversial vote

sparked a flood of criticism,Francisco has asked that the matter beput back on the council’s agendatoday for a new vote.Francisco is running for re-election

this November.Passed in 1953, the Act requires

elected officials to conduct businessin public and allow public participa-tion through comment, posted agen-das, and other documents.Jessica Levinson, director of polit-

Hardly an inch of wood table peeredfrom between her crafts. Knickknackswith cutesy retro images decorated herdisplay.“I work full-time so this is just what I

do at home when I’m watching TV,” saidShirily Argon, who had a booth at theSpace Invaders 2 arts and crafts showlast Saturday. It featured items from herstore Giggle Sparkle on the websiteEtsy.com.The dizzying array seemed more than

one might expect from tinkering in frontof a television. But for craft makers likeArgon who use Etsy, having an internetstore offers something worth the trouble.“It’s nice. My job is so analytical,”

said Argon who works full-time doingclinical research. “I don’t get to be cre-

ative at work.”Browsing Etsy shows that Argon is far

from alone. The site has hundreds ofthousands of online stores from usersworldwide. Countless creations fill pageafter page.“It’s not sort of old style arts and

crafts, it’s a new wave of arts-and-crafters,” said Susan Torrey, co-founderof EtsySB, a group on the site for localEtsy store owners.”You can find any-thing on that website,” she said during aninterview at her home.

Torrey, who is a media buyer at a localcompany, makes reusable snack bags.She was inspired when her daughter, Fia,now five, began preschool. GirlSundayDesigns features machine washable bagsof two sizes in a variety of unique prints.They have grown popular as schoolsadopt no-waste programs, she said.EtsySB has done small shows at ven-

ues such as The French Press, MercuryLounge, and Reds. Torrey said they try todo an event each month.

Customers and more than 20 vendors poured over jewelry, hats, bags and other goods Saturday at Space Invaders 2, a showcase featuringmany items also seen on EtsySB. Etsy is a website for local store designers to promote and sell their designs.

The Santa Barbara City Council isexpected to approve a $2 millionincrease in a Housing Authority loan toget additional money for an affordablehousing project on Bath Street.The 27,688 square-foot, 54-unit proj-

ect, known as Bradley Studios, will bebuilt on the 512-518 sites of Bath Streetusing RDA funds set aside for affordablehousing.The $12 million project is part of the

city’s push to acquire more low incomehousing and also improve the lowerMission Creek area. It received approvalfrom the Planning Commission in 2010and is only awaiting financing. The loan increase already passed the

finance committee in a 3-0 vote and isexpected to pass the council.“I think it’s a good combination of

providing needed affordable housing andenvironmental sustainability in one proj-ect,” Santa Barbara Mayor HeleneSchneider said.The $2 million bump on top of the

$1.6 million already devoted is steep, butcity project planner Simon Kiefer saidthe money is coming from the Agency’saffordable housing subsidies which can’tbe used for anything except affordablehousing projects.“It’s not like we can divert them to

another use,” Kiefer said.The Authority acquired the lots in

2008 and the project has gone through allthe approval phases, but got tied up whentrying to apply for low-income housingtax credits, which make up 80 percent ofthe funding.Competition for those credits has

grown fierce in the last few years andBradley Studios has lost out to otherprojects that have more outside funding

Police, DA back Falcone, SchwartzBY JOSHUA MOLINADAILY SOUND EDITOR

Former Santa Barbara CityCouncilwoman Iya Falcone and currentCity Planning Commissioner DeborahSchwartz on Monday locked up majorendorsements in their bids for a seat onthe Santa Barbara City Council.The Santa Barbara Police Officers

Association has endorsed Falcone andSchwartz in the council race.“I am happy to have the POA back in

my corner,” said Falcone, who servedtwo terms on the City Council. “I amhonored to be working with them againto achieve positive goals in our commu-nity. Public safety has always been mymain priority.”During her time on the council,

Falcone was a consistent, steady andstrong advocate for enhanced public

safety.Schwartz, a business

owner and planningcommissioner, wasthrilled with theendorsement.

“I am deeply hon-ored to have the supportof the individuals whowork day in and day out

to keep our community safe,” Schwartzsaid. “The single most fundamentalresponsibility of our city leaders is toensure the safety of this community. Onthe city council I will partner with com-munity leaders, residents and lawenforcement to ensure a safe and healthySanta Barbara.”It is unclear whether the POA will

make a third endorsement in the race. Although they backed Councilwoman

Michael Self when sheran for office two yearsago, it remains to beseen whether she willpersuade the policegroup again.Falcone and

Schwartz on Mondayalso received theendorsements of

County District Attorney Joyce Dudley.“Deborah is an experienced, thought-

ful, common sense leader who is focusedon solving problems,” Dudley said. “Iam confident Deborah will be an out-standing councilmember and partner tothe law enforcement community.”The endorsements are the latest boost

NEWS IN BRIEF

Facebook to lead in display adsSAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Facebook’s U.S. advertising

revenue will total roughly $2.2 billion in 2011, displacingYahoo Inc to collect the biggest slice of online display advertis-ing dollars, according to a new study.Facebook’s U.S. advertising revenue will give it a 17.7 per-

cent share of the market for graphical display ads that appear onwebsites, according to a report released on Monday by researchfirm eMarketer.Last year Facebook had 12.2 percent share of the U.S. mar-

ket.The figures underscore the growing clout of Facebook, the

world’s No.1 Internet social network. It has seen its valuationsoar to roughly $80 billion in recent transactions for its shareson the private markets and some investors anticipate it couldhave an initial public offering next year.

Obama presses on fundraisingWASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama and

fellow Democrats beat Republicans in the race for campaigndollars during May, as the president stepped up fundraisingahead of the 2012 contest for the White House.The Democratic National Committee pulled in $10.5 million,

compared with $6.2 million raised by the Republican NationalCommittee, according to monthly filings with the FederalElection Commission on Monday.The 2012 election may be the priciest ever, with Obama

potentially topping $1 billion in campaign contributions, upfrom $750 million raised for his successful 2008 bid. Recentcourt decisions are likely to unleash billions more in cash fromoutside interest groups.Democratic figures include a $6.5 million transfer from the

Obama Victory Fund, a joint fund between the DNC and theObama campaign.Having Obama topping the ticket gives Democrats a big

edge. In the past few election cycles, the party with the presi-dency raised more money in off years leading up to presidentialelections, according to George Washington University’sCampaign Finance Institute.Obama added to his campaign war chest at two fundraisers in

Washington on Monday, the first a dinner with Americans inSupport of a Strong US-Israel Relationship attended by about80 people, which a DNC official said was a sell-out.The second, also sold out with a crowd of about 100, was a

dinner with the Mid-Atlantic Finance Committee, whichencompasses Obama supporters from Maryland, Washington,Virginia and Delaware, with a few other contributors fromaround the country in attendance.

YESTERDAYEl Taco TequilaTaqueria opened at14 E. Cota St., theformer home ofSquare One. ElTaco is not yourtypical Mexicanrestaurant. OwnerMatthewChrestenson tellsme that their focusis being a streetvendor-style taque-ria. That means

they don’t offer rice & beans or chips &salsa. El Taco is all about servingauthentic tasty tacos. Think of El TacoTequila Taqueria as a food truck withoutwheels that also happens to have a fullbar.El Taco offers quality meats, sauces,

cheeses and vegetables for their tacos,all served on a 5-inch diameter in-house-made tortilla which is larger thanyour traditional street taco. The full baroffers everything you would expectincluding 8-9 choices of agua frescacocktails (fresh fruit, organic agave nec-tar and water).In the very near future El Taco will

be offering fresh fish brought in dailyfor their tacos. Plans also include intro-ducing a line of exotic tacos includingrattlesnake, alligator, buffalo and elk.

Hours are 11a.m. to close 7 days aweek. For more information call 845-6226 or visit eltacotequila.com.

RUTH’S CHRIS CLOSES: LastSunday Ruth’s Chris Steak House at3815 State St. served their last meal inSanta Barbara. The eatery opened in November

2007.

TIMBERS CLOSES: The TimbersRestaurant at 10 Winchester CanyonRoad in Goleta has closed. I stopped byrecently and there was a fence acrossthe parking lot and weeds-o-plenty.

PANERA BREAD UPDATE: I havebeen writing about Panera Bread sinceFeb. 2, 2010. I have issued a seeminglyendless stream of tips and rumors aboutthe eatery coming to Santa Barbara. In all that time there has never been

any visible sign that Panera is actuallycoming here. No notice on the window.No banner on the building. No construc-tion crews. No rolled up sleeves withblueprints, wandering the property. For

all you know I made the whole thing up. Well, there is finally visible progress

of Panera Bread coming to 3851 StateSt., next to Baja Fresh in La CumbrePlaza. Last week I stopped by and saw that

a full interior demolition/remodel isnow underway.

MCCONNELL’S FOR SALE: JimMcCoy, owner of McConnell’s IceCream since 1963, has put his companyup for sale.

CIELITO: I am hearing that thename of the cafe coming to La Arcada,in the former home of Stateside &Acapulco, will be called “Cielito.” I amtold that, decades ago, before Acapulcomoved in, a restaurant named “ElCielito” use to occupy that location.

WAHOO’S UPDATE: This just infrom Wahoo’s Fish Taco at 511 StateSt.:“Hi John, Wahoo’s has a new menu

option that I wanted to tell you about.We are offering a taco of choice, (grilledor blackened Ono, grilled or blackenedchicken breast, carne asada, carnitas,shrimp or vegetarian/vegan), with chipsand salsa and the beer of the month (12oz bottle, something different everymonth) or a fountain drink, all for $5!

The Buy Local movement has also helpedEtsy sales, Torrey said. But sellers still strug-gle making money.“It’s a labor of love. I really don’t pay

myself very well,” said Heather McGibbon, anEtsySB group leader, even though she has hadsuccess. Her store Voladora Design has madeEtsy’s front page 14 times. McGibbon bartends a few nights a week,

but also depends on Etsy sales. Her Saturdaybooth showcased quality hats knit from unrav-eled cashmere sweaters and eye pillows sal-vaged from damaged vintage kimonos. Talentand success aside, she said she scrapes by buthas hopes for the future.“As much as you put into it is what you get

out of it,” she said. She has been on the sitenine months and recently created a secondstore. She anticipates being an Etsy seller fulltime in a few years, she said.Though not coordinated by EtsySB, Space

Invaders 2 was the brainchild of group mem-ber Vanae Rivera who said she uses the siteprimarily for networking. “I just like that it’s collaborative and lets

everyone come together “ said Rivera of herevent, which allowed more than 20 craft mak-ers and artists to “invade the space” in front ofstudios used by her and three other artists.About half of the sellers were from EtsySB

and the variety at the show reflected the web-site. A booth featuring glitzy, hand tailored lin-gerie mixed with other booths of more con-ventional crafts.The designer, Nichole Patino was educated

at the Fashion Institute of Design andMerchandising and has worked as a designerand stylist for many companies. She currentlyworks part time at Macy’s arranging art dis-plays and uses Etsy to promote her lingerieclothing line Nappi Designs.

“But don’t be satisfied with sto-ries, how things have gone with oth-ers. Unfold your own myth, withoutcomplicated explanations...”- Rumi

I once worked with an incrediblyfrenetic and controlling sales manag-er who insisted that her staff make aneffort to “think outside the box” inorder to increase profits.“Well,” I merrily chimed in at our

weekly meeting, “Let’s hire a hypno-tist to trance us into being more productiveemployees and receptive to your advice.”I immediately saw a light go off in her

eyes before I reminded her that I was just kid-ding. Got to be careful with that stuff.Thinking outside the box can be a creative

exercise but do we fully recognize that mostof our existence is boxes. Let’s start with howwe define ourselves; nationality, bodilyappearance and health, occupation, politicalaffiliation, family ties, economic status ... alltemporary name tags destined to be blownaway by the powerful gusts of time.So what are we? Who are we? Are we

more than just boxes, eventuallyscheduled for the cosmic recyclingbin?The great masters and saints

have always given poignant cluesto the true nature of our eternalbeing. Their clarion call speaks ofa childlike openness, love, compas-sion, appreciation, humility, andrespectful reverence for the gift oflife. No struggling with boxes need

occur. The path to freedom hasalways been in the direction of our ownhearts.In reality, there are no boxes; just wide

open, uncluttered, and undefined space. Apure, unadulterated, direct experience of themost beautiful awaits the brave ones whodare to seek the true freedom that has alwaysbeen here. Don’t let the boxes of this world encumber

your God-given right to soar in the Land ofthe Free.

loans and grants. Schneider hopes the loanboost would qualify the project for the neces-sary tax credits.“This was the one piece that was missing,”

Schneider said. Housing Authority CEO Robert Pearson

said the new housing will go to lots that havebeen underused in the past couple of years.Part of the project calls for demolishing a 10-unit structure in the area that sits close to thebank of Mission Creek and restoring nativevegetation and conditions to the degradedcreek.Pearson said the project would also give

some relief to the city’s homeless problem. Heestimates the city has lost between 600 and800 rooms of affordable housing from theshuttering of low cost hotels. He admits thoserooms weren’t the best the city had to offer butthey kept many low-income workers off thestreet.

Pearson added that the project could alsohelp in providing more construction jobs. Thehousing market crash has hit the industry hardand a project like this can help keep workersand companies afloat while the economyrecovers. “In some ways Bradley Studios is a perfect

marriage to try to replace some of the olddowntown hotel rooms that we’ve lost fromredevelopment,” Pearson said.The project will consist of seven structures,

two and three-stories. The buildings will have53 studio apartments and one manager unitalong with a community center and recreationroom. The project also helps with the city’s Lower

Mission Creek Flood Control and RestorationProject. The existing building on the site datesback to 1960 and extends over the 25-footbuffer zone the city is trying to establish tohelp prevent flooding.It would also cover landscaping on the

creek to restore native vegetation and habitatconditions for wildlife on the creek.

their constituents and I think their constituentshave a right to know what they’re doing andhow they’re making decisions,” Levinson said.Emily Francke, executive director of

Californians Aware, a government watchdogorganization, said she’d heard aboutFrancisco’s gripe.Francke said it’s not surprising for politi-

cians to hate parts of the Brown Act. But this isthe first time she’s seen an elected official beso openly critical.“I don’t think public officials are usually so

refreshingly honest about that,” Francke said.“But I don’t think it’s a politically very smartmove to admit basic disdain for laws that keepthe public informed.”Attorney Michael Jenkins, who chairs the

Brown Act Committee for the League ofCalifornia Cities, said people used to operatingin the private sector often find sections of theAct restricting.“There’s no question that it makes the

process more cumbersome,” Jenkins said.Francisco’s resolution received support

from the other three members of the council’sconservative bloc. Michael Self has alreadydeclared, though Randy Rowse has yet tomake a move.Santa Barbara County Democratic Party

Chair Daraka Larimore-Hall said Francisco’svote could become an election issue.

The vote surprised Larimore-Hall given theconservatives’ small-government ethos. Hebelieves the conservative bloc could find itselfon the losing end if it doesn’t change its stance.“It seems like a colossally stupid thing to do

for very little benefit,” Larimore-Hall said.Greg Gandrud, Santa Barbara County GOP

Chair, defended Francisco. Gandrud saidFrancisco isn’t looking to repeal the BrownAct, just trying to make the council work moreeffectively.“It’s good to always be looking at ways the

government can conduct its business moreefficiently and not get bogged down too muchinto process,” Gandrud said.

EtsySB co-founder Cimmi Cumesalso used the site as a personal extensionof her professional career. McGibbon said she worked as a toy

designer before making an Etsy store tosell her handmade dolls and plushies.She recently moved to New York tobecome senior designer for the toy com-pany Hasbro. McGibbon said that thesite gave her friend creative freedom shemight not have had as an employee.For most, Etsy is a hobby that pays for

itself and little beyond, but yields intan-gible rewards. Katherine Lowe recently

received a master’s degree in LibraryScience but has not found work. She saidrunning her handbag store on Etsy hasbeen “absolutely therapeutic.”Aside from networking and selling,

some members also shop the website.

“It’s my first go-to,” said Torrey. Shelikes the variety, personal feel, and sup-porting the efforts of sellers whose dayjobs are missing something.“This is what they like to do,” she

said.
