Police release ‘dash-cam’ video

Motion to remove Larimore-Hall fails

After public outcry over allegations that officers used exces-sive force when arresting Tony DeNunzio on October 21st, SantaBarbara Police Chief Cam Sanchez released footage from a“dash-cam” to the media.During a press conference, Sanchez re-affirmed his support for

Officer Aaron Tudor, the officer who pulled DeNunzio over.Some witn“Based on my observations of this video, it was my conclusion

that nothing out of policy happened,” Sanchez said.But Sanchez also acknowledged that the use of force could

seem brutal to some witnesses.“Any use of force, even when we use it legally and appropri-

ately, is never pretty,” Sanchez said.The District Attorney’s office declined to charge DeNunzio

with resisting arrest Wednesday, citing conflicting witness state-ments. Sanchez said the police department had planned on releas-ing the footage to the public regardless of what path the D.A. tookand noted that D.A. did not condone the release of the footage.“This is something we had been planning all along whether all

charges or no charges are going to be filed because of the fact thatthe community was asking, ‘What is this use of force?’” Sanchezsaid.The 18 minute-clip started with Tudor entering his vehicle near

Arroyo Burro Beach. Sanchez said Tudor had seen DeNunzio’svehicle missing its front license plate.Tudor’s car follows DeNunzio’s truck up Las Positas Road.

The first of DeNunzio’s three alleged lane changes happen at LasPositas and Modoc Road as DeNunzio moves into the left lane.

He switches to the right lane on the Highway101 overpass, passes another vehicle, andswitches back without appearing to use histurn signal.Tudor activates his lights as DeNunzio sig-

nals to pull into Loreto Plaza. Sanchez saidTudor waited until Loreto to pull DeNunzioover because Las Positas Road doesn’t haveany safe places to pull over.Once in the Plaza, DeNunzio parks the

truck and gets out with a cigarette in his mouth. Tudor can befaintly heard on the footage ordering DeNunzio to get back in thecar and gesturing at DeNunzio.DeNunzio appears to turn away and Tudor grabs him by the

arm, appears to hold him and then pushes him against the truck.Much of the ensuing scuffle is obscured by DeNunzio’s truck.Tudor performs a leg sweep, taking DeNunzio to the ground.At points, Tudor can be seen using an open hand strikes on

DeNunzio, and later uses his Taser in a “Drive Stun”, a less effec-tive charge that doesn’t deploy the darts. The struggle moves outfrom away from the truck and behind another car.No more view of the actual arrest is seen after that. Additional

officers arrive and after a minute and seven seconds according toSanchez, the three officers succeed in handcuffing DeNunzio.DeNunzio is later seen being lead past the camera a short whilelater saying, “What the hell did I do?”“That’s called resisting arrest in my opinion,” Sanchez said.Sanchez said SBPD use of force is rare, but it does happen. Of

the 297,000 calls for service in last three years, he said the police

A motion to remove the chair of the Santa Barbara CountyDemocratic Central Committee failed overwhelmingly at thegroup’s Thursday night meeting.Daraka Larimore-Hall serves as the party chair, an elected

position. Two supporters of Jason Hodge, a candidate for stateSenate, criticized Larimore-Hall at the meeting for his com-ments about Hodge in Tuesday’s Daily Sound. Only three peo-ple – out of 28 on the committee – supported a motion toremove Larimore-Hall.Hodge is running against Hannah-Beth Jackson for the

newly drawn 19th state Senate District race next June. Bothcandidates are Democrats.

Larimore-Hall in The Daily Sound suggested that Hodgewas relying on his wife, Fiona Ma, to line up endorsements forhim in the campaign against Jackson, who served six years inthe state Assembly. Hodge, a firefighter, has spent one year onthe Oxnard Harbor Commission..Ma, from San Francisco, is the Assembly Speaker Pro

Tempore,“This whole thing is a maneuver to create a narrative for

Jason that we are the big, evil bad guys picking on his wife,”said Larimore-Hall, a charismatic speaker who grew up inSanta Barbara. “People who are for Jason and those who areagainst me pulled a maneuver and it failed miserably.”Hodge has attempted to cast himself as a Sacramento out-

Excuse me if I sound a little tired, I just spend twohours helping a friend study for a final in climatologyand now I know more about the thermosphere, baro-metric pressure and something called ‘Sphereosity’than I ever even wanted to think about.I happen to like climate stuff, but I often wondered

about some of the other things we had to learn inschool – like algebra. I’ve never used an algebraicequation in my life. What’s that about anyway? Whocomes up with these subjects? What we need is amore practical curriculum.For example, like most guys, I wish we would have

had about 10 years of study on a very puzzling sub-ject. Instead of algebra, every guy should have hadclasses in the most difficult curriculum of all, “What do womenthink, and why do they think like that?” It’s a lifetime study.Of course, we all probably would have flunked. The up-side isthat after that class, nuclear medicine, Chinese literature (inChinese) and quantum physics would seem easy.For example, you could have an entire class on the concept

that, “Most women consider their love affairs their life sto-ries, men consider them episodes.”Like most men, I have found that statement to be mostly true.

Women of a certain age, when given the chance to tell youabout themselves, will more often than not tell you aboutjust about every love affair they’ve ever had….from theengagement they broke off with a suitor before they marriedtheir ex-husband, (who was brilliant in his work but emotionallyunavailable) to the engagement they broke off with a suitor aftertheir ex-husband.And, usually, there is a millionaire (this becomes a billionaire

in Montecito) and a ‘just-dumped’ lover who turned into acrazed stalker in there somewhere, as well. Most guys can’t fig-ure this out. Why would these women think they wanted tohear all about all the past lovers? The truth is this is notsomething many guys want to hear about – ever. I know menwho walked away from relationships because of this.What these men didn’t realize was that their partners were

trying to open up to them and share their life history. “This isme; these are the relationships that made me who I am,” theirpartner is saying. What most men hear the woman say is:

“This guy loved me, this guy loved me, this guyloved me, and this other guy loved me, too.” Checkplease.Neither side is at fault here. Guys often don’t

understand because love affairs are not our entire lives– ask us about our past and we’re more likely to tellyou about our job history. This isn’t without strongreason. Men are valued – by women as well as othermen – for what we do and how much we make. Manywomen feel, even as a subconscious thought, that theirvalue is based on how much they are desired by men.My thought is it would be great if both sexes could

move past those definitions. To get an ‘A’ in my class,everybody has to figure out that self-worth comes from

being good at golf – okay just kidding – no, as clichéd at it is,self-worth is truly an inside job.At the same time, women might become more circumspect

about spilling every detail of their past love experiences, realiz-ing that men simply care that you are in their company; that theyappreciate you for who you are right now and hopefully withthem in the future – not so much who you were and what youdid in the past. If a man is paying attention and is worthkeeping, he will figure out how terrific you are, you don’thave to tell him.Men, on the other hand, need to gently explain that while we

don’t necessarily need to know every detail of your past rela-tionships, it doesn’t mean we aren’t interested in getting to knowyou. By the way, this clearly works the other way around, aswell.Well, I have no idea how I got off on that subject, I was going

to talk about Euro-economics and maybe something reallyimportant like algebra today, but here we are….Before I go, Iwanted to share with you something I first reported in theMontecito Messenger yesterday.It is totally random but I liked it. I checked it out and found

that nearly $2 million people Google searched, “Where doesSanta live?” last month, which is fair enough. But another22,000 people Googled, “Is Santa real?” The answer, by theway, is “yes.”

used force only 872 times. Tasers had been employed146 times.By contrast, he said officers have been assaulted118 times in thesame time period.“I’ve been doing this a long time and in my experience it does

happen very quickly,” Sanchez said.DeNunzio’s attorney Darryl Genis attempted to get into the

press conference, but police wouldn’t let him in. Genis later said

both the D.A. and the police department had been working to pro-tect police officers instead of protecting the public.“There’s absolutely no excuse or explanation for the mockery

of justice that took place onWednesday with the press release andtoday with the press conference,” Genis said.Genis said he filed a government claim and DeNunzio will go

for a civil suit if the claim is rejected.DeNunzio still faces charges of driving under the influence,

driving with a suspended license, and driving with a blood-alco-hol level over .08.

NEWS IN BRIEFBrown seeks $7B in tax hikesThewealthy in California would paymore income tax and shoppers

would face a sales tax increase under a measure to be unveiled byGovernor Jerry Brown to raise $7 billion for the cash-strapped state.

Details of the initiative were being nailed down on Thursday withlawmakers, advocates and labor unions so it could be made public assoon as Friday, according to sources in the state capital of Sacramentofamiliar with the measure.

Brown aims to put the initiative on next November's ballot, whichmay see several more tax measures if proponents manage to gather atleast half a million signatures to qualify them. The measures are likelyto face tough opposition from the state's entrenched anti tax activists.

Brown's plan would tack on a half-cent to the state sales tax. Itwould also impose income tax increases of 1 percent to individualswith income starting at $250,000 a year, 1.5 percent for those whomake between $300,000 and $500,000 a year and 2 percent for thosemaking more than $500,000 a year.

Second Mile charity to freeze assetsThe Second Mile charity has agreed to freeze its assets to set-

tle a lawsuit filed by a man identified only as Victim 4 in a sex-ual abuse indictment against a former Penn State football coach,the man's lawyers said on Friday.The Second Mile charity to help troubled children was found-

ed by assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, who is charged withmolesting eight men when they were juveniles in a scandal thatrocked the multimillion dollar world of college athletics.The man identified as Victim 4 in a grand jury report filed the

lawsuit last month in state court in Philadelphia to preserveSecond Mile's assets. His lawyers, Ben Andreozzi and JeffreyFritz, said the charity has settled that suit.

LA wind storm cuts power for 350KA powerful wind storm with gale-force gusts left much of the

Los Angeles area strewn with toppled trees and downed powerlines on Thursday, slowing traffic, damaging homes and knockingout electricity to over 350,000 customers.An hourlong power outage at LosAngeles InternationalAirport

forced nearly two dozen inbound commercial flights to divert toother airports, and flight delays lingered even after electricity wasrestored, LAX spokeswoman Nancy Castles said.Damaging high winds also extended into other regions of the

West, including Utah, where power was cut to an additional55,000 residents, and 10 tractor-trailer trucks were tipped over bycrosswind gusts north of Salt Lake City.LosAngeles County declared a state of emergency as a result of

the winds, a move that hastens the ability of state and federalauthorities to provide assistance, said Tony Bell, a spokesman forcounty Supervisor Mike Antonovich.

Wrapping it upLittle did I know that when I enrolled my

child in public school I was signing up for a 13-year tour of fundraising duty.I’ll never forget the first time Koss jumped in

the car and delightedly declared how excited hewas that he was going to win a squishy pink andyellow stuffed turtle to dangle from his back-pack. He sounded like a late night infomercialhuckster as he excitedly explained that, “all WEhave to do was sell a minimum of 30 rolls ofwrapping paper.”Is that all WE have to do?Forget the fact that all of his stuffed animals

had been relegated to the back of the closet anddeclared babyish a few months before, he would absolutelydie and be the laughing stock of the school if he didn’t winone of those cool turtles.

And that was just the beginning of the all of the fabulousprizes he could win, he explained, shoving a prize incentivecatalog at me that looked a thousand times glossier and heav-ier than the actual wrapping paper they were trying to push."If WE sell more than 300 items, WE can get a Wii!” he

chirped.Overlooking the fact that WE already have a Wii, which he

mostly ignores, I quickly did the math on this one. If WEsell 300 rolls of wrapping paper at $8.50 each, that’s over$2,500 bucks for an item that sells for about $200 at BestBuy. And that’s not including the value of our time, let aloneall the pride I have to swallow every time I ask a friend or

neighbor to write another check for the school.When I was a kid selling candy bars was easy. I just

put them in nose-shot of my dad and they all disap-peared within a few days. Unfortunately for Koss, hisschool uses catalogs to sell stuff, so it’s easier to resist.Besides nowadays, as we all learn the hard way,

children are not the real salespeople when it comes toschool fundraisers: we are. Sure, they leave the peprally assembly all fired up about how they’ll rushthrough the neighborhood and “sell, sell, sell.” Butsoon afterward the reality of homework, soccer prac-tice, chores and play dates sets in, and the tunechanges to “mom, mom, mom … how many rolls ofwrapping paper did we sell?”

This year, for once, I had no problem adding up the num-bers in my head: Six. That’s right, six. Three to grandma andthree to me. “Did you sell any magazines?” Koss asked hope-fully. “Even though the prizes aren’t as cool I can still getsome.”No magazines, no candles, no aromatic oils. This year we

even skipped out on the "beautifully embossed tins" of pop-corn that are large enough to house a family of four. I sold 12of them at our last garage sale.“But it helps pay for camp, mom,” Koss pleaded.I know, but it’s too much work for not enough return on

our investment, I explain. This year I’m going to only buythe wrapping paper that I need.“So WE won’t get the Wii?”Nope. You’ll have to wait till next year — because if there

is one thing that's certain about school fundraisers, there isalways another one coming up.

Eat, drink and be merry. Or just drink and bemerry! Spirits will be soaring high this Saturday, asthe community tips a glass, responsibly, to helpneighbors in need at the annual Holiday Tour onthe Urban Wine Trail.This benefit for Unity Shoppe, a local charity

that helps low-income families in crisis, will takeplace Dec. 3, from 6-9 p.m., beginning at OreanaWinery, 205 Anacapa Street, the hub of theevening’s activities.For $50, participants will receive a commemora-

tive glass and a passport that tells them where togo—14 wineries in all, centered in downtown’sFunk Zone and reaching from the pier, up to theWine Cask.Of course, “one of the biggest problems with wine tasting

events is driving,” said Oreana’s proprietor Christian Garvin,who conceived of the event four years ago with Unity Shoppe’sexecutive director Tom Reed. “So ... Easy Lift Transportationcompany in town donates the shuttles to take people around,there are trolleys, and we have two vintage Rolls Royce limou-sines (they’re first-come first-served, and only fit 3-4 peopleeach).”A core group of wineries are within walking distance and

some that are normally located up by Milpas Street—Carr,Jaffurs and Whitcraft — will be coming to the building acrossthe street from Oreana, where local bands will be providing livemusic, including Tommy Cantillon (of Tommy & the HighPilots) playing Christmas tunes, and Greg Harrison & Friendsputting out their folksy, classic rock sound.“We really appreciate these wineries,” said Reed, including

in his accolades other donors and volunteers who help theUnity Shoppe take care of almost 25,000 struggling clientsreferred to them by more than 300 agencies in town. Donationshelp keep its charitable store stocked full of groceries, schoolsupplies, clothing, furniture and more, which clients “buy” atthe check out register, with no money changing hands.“What happens at Christmas time is, along with food, there’s

an extra burden of toys and winter clothes,” explained Reed.“We customize our service to these proud, hard-working peo-ple, help them stabilize, get through their crisis and get back upon their feet with hope and dignity.”Additional events benefitting the Unity Shoppe this month

include:Santa Barbara Trolley Company’s Trolley of Lights Tour

singer Kenny Loggins, December 10 from 3-10 p.m. on KEYT,featuring local celebrities, entertainment, a flashback segmentand a live stream online at www.unityshoppe.org.“We always present the big fake check with Kenny Loggins

and whoever else is on at that hour we show up,” said Garvin,revealing that, “the Holiday Tour on the Urban Wine Trail hasraised more than $5,000 each year and 100-percent of that goesto the Unity Shoppe.” Most of the wineries offer a discount onbottle purchases as well, the night of the tour, although everyone is different.“It’s just a fun night,” continued Garvin. “Nobody can make

it to all the wineries—you’d be drunk and would wear out thesoles of your shoes, you wouldn’t be able to stand,” he laughed,in good humor. “But you can go wherever you want. Go to fourwineries down here, then just call it a night and go have dinneron State Street. Or hit a couple down here then hop in the RollsRoyce or Easy Lift shuttles and go up to the Wine Cask area.Each winery does something a little different—sometimes theyhave a jewelry show, or live music. The ones up near the WineCask, partner with the restaurant so they might have some sortof food element up there,” he said.Chris Wright, Oreana’s label designer and annual attendee,

described the beauty of the event as, “you’re with your friendsduring the holidays, and instead of just drinking ... you candrink and do somebody some good.” That’s the power of “posi-tive drinking.” The more, the merrier!

Dear S&B: I think I’vesaved enough money toretire in Santa Barbara butwhen is enough trulyenough?– Howard, Santa Barbara

Howard, what most peo-ple fail to realize is thatfinancial independence isnot a "net worth" number; itis all about cash flow. Would you rather have anet worth of $3,000,000 that generates $100,000per year of income, or a net worth of $2,000,000with $150,000 of annual income? We know,you’re tempted to say "I would sell part of that'extra' $1 million from the $3 million and livelife off of that", but what if that means sellingyour home and moving out of town? In SantaBarbara, it is common to find residents with ahigh real estate net worth but with low relativecash flow. Here’s what you need to know andplan for:

Wealth Management: People with accumu-lated wealth tend to hate spending principal andgenerally don't sell assets to live off of them.They usually become financially independentbecause they have prioritized saving over spend-ing. They typically don’t spend money on thingsthey don't value but they do get accustomed to acertain lifestyle which is hard to change. Sowhen you retire, it is imperative that you havesustainable cash flow for your specific life styleneeds.

Investment Management: An investmentformula we created called “90/70/30” is a goodrule of thumb to determine if you have reached,“financial independence.” When 90% of yourlifestyle expenses are covered by known incomesources, and it takes 70% or less of yourinvestable (non-residence) assets to generate that“income,” you probably have a sustainableretirement. We believe the remaining 30% ofyour investable assets at minimum should be

allocated for growth tocombat future inflation. Theyounger you are, the moregrowth you may need toaccount for inflation; theolder you are, the less.

Risk Management:Financially independentpeople don’t just look forways to accumulate andinvest their assets. They

also manage their risks. An extended, unexpectedhealth care crisis can destroy a lifetime of sav-ings. So as you plan for retirement, it’s best to setmoney aside to account for this possibility orallocate some of your income to pay for longterm care insurance.

No one wants to buy insurance or think theymay become ill, but not addressing this unknownrisk is a potential recipe for disaster. From ourexperience the cost of care in Santa Barbara typi-cally starts at $25 per hour and increases to asmuch as $350 per day depending on the leveland type of care needed.

Tax Management: Taxes are typically thesingle largest individual expense we see. You canemploy numerous tax strategies, but the onemost typically overlooked is allocating invest-ments to the wrong "type" of account. Forinstance, with the current tax laws, money with-drawn from IRA's, 401k's and pension plans aretaxed at higher marginal rates than long termcapital gains.

If you are heading into retirement and youneed cash flow from your investments, it gener-ally makes tactical tax sense to put your taxablebonds in your IRA and your stocks in your tax-able accounts. This way, as your stocks grow,you can take advantage of the lower long termcapital gains tax rates, while the income comingoff your IRA from taxable bonds is taxed at thesame rate regardless. Over time, these types ofstrategies can potentially save a tremendousamount of money.
