Armendariz censuredBY NICK C. TONKIN

DAILY SOUND STAFF WRITERThe Carpinteria City Council on

Monday night voted to censure embattledcouncilman Joe Armendariz, stripping thecontroversial figure from his ability todrive a car on city business and from rep-resenting the city on various regionalboards. The vote was 3-1, with council-woman Kathleen Reddington in opposi-tion. Armendariz no-showed the meeting.Armendariz has been arrested on sus-

picion of drunken driving twice in thelast five years. The most recent arrestcame after he rolled his car and was sentto the hospital in December. His blood-alcohol-content was .18, more than twicethe legal limit.

Mayor Al Clark, vice-mayor BradStein, and council member Gregg Cartypassed voted to censure Armendariz.“A council member represents the city

and is a community leader,” Clark said.“This conduct is a poor reflection uponthe city, city council, and the citizens ofCarpinteria.” A conservative Republican,

Armendariz had become a prominent fig-ure in political circles in recent years.A frequent critic of government and a

staunch supporter of business, Armendarizspoke out at city and county meetings,served as the executive director for the SantaBarbara County Taxpayers Association, andchaired the Santa Barbara CountyAssociation of Governments in 2011.

But in December of 2011, Armendarizrolled his gray 2001 Volvo while travel-ing southbound on Highway 101.According to CHP reports, when hefailed to make a turn in the roadway, heveered to the left, struck the centerdivider, flew across both lanes andcrashed through a barbwire fence.He sustained injuries to his head and

neck. Tests allegedly showed his bloodalcohol level allegedly to be 0.18.He faces two misdemeanor charges of

driving under the influence of alcohol.Armendariz has been convicted of simi-lar charges in 2006. Armendariz didn’tshow for Monday’s proceedings.He announced on his official

City to consider openinglibrary on Monday

BY NICK C. TONKINDAILY SOUND STAFF WRITER

After cutting back library days in 2010 todeal with a budget crisis, the Santa BarbaraCity Council is now considering restoringsome Monday hours to the Eastside Library.The proposal before the council on Tuesday

is to reopen the library on Monday from 1:30p.m. to 5:30 p.m. from now until the end of thefiscal year in July at a cost of $6,800. Council member Cathy Murillo, who made

reopening the libraries a centerpiece of hercampaign, said the library has been a crucialresource for local schools, a go-to spot foradults who don’t own computers, and a hang-out spot for children waiting for their parents

to get off from work.“The Eastside Library is not just a library,

it’s also a community center for the Eastsideneighborhood,” Murillo said.Murillo said Mondays are critical as that is

when students look at their homework assign-ments for the rest of the week. But she pointedout that even if students don’t come to study,just having a sanctuary from the streets cankeep kids out of trouble.“What if they just go there and it’s a safe

place to hang?” Murillo said. “That has valuetoo.”She added that the Eastside Library has

more computers than the central branch, mak-See LIBRARY, page 11

NEWS IN BRIEF

The parents of a Florida college drum major killed in an appar-ent hazing incident sued a company on Monday that owns the buson which he died, accusing the driver of guiding an injured and sickRobert Champion Jr. back onto the vehicle.Robert and Pam Champion filed the wrongful death and negli-

gence lawsuit against Fabulous Coach Lines and bus driver WendyMillette, and were asking for an unspecified amount of damages.The bus company has denied any wrongdoing.Their son was killed in what the medical examiner has ruled a

homicide in the course of hazing by the celebrated Florida A & MUniversity Marching “100” band. The beating took place while thebus was parked at an Orlando hotel following a band performanceat a football game.No one has yet been charged in the death.The family’s lawyer had previously said the suit would help

them find out what happened to their 26-year-old son by forcingwitnesses to testify under oath about the November incident.

Despite a battle over birth-control policy between the WhiteHouse and Roman Catholic leaders, U.S. Catholics' politicalviews differ little from those of non-Catholic voters, accordingto Reuters/Ipsos poll results released on Monday.About four in 10, or 37 percent, of Catholic voters approve

of Democratic President Barack Obama's performance, and 48percent disapprove, according to the online survey of registeredvoters conducted February 6-13.The numbers are nearly identical for non-Catholic, with 37

percent approving and 50 percent disapproving, the online pollfound.

Catholics disapprove of Obama

Obama to end Saturday mailPresident Barack Obama’s proposed 2013 budget repeated a

call to allow the U.S. Postal Service to end Saturday mail deliv-ery and tap into a retirement-fund surplus, as lawmakers hash outthe details of postal legislation.The budget outline released on Monday included several steps

to provide relief to the cash-strapped Postal Service that closelymatched plans the Obama administration proposed in September2011 as part of a deficit-reduction plan.The 2013 budget updated the amount of savings expected from

recapturing a retirement-fund surplus and other steps to $25 bil-lion over 11 years. Last year’s plan forecast savings of $19 billionover 10 years.The president’s updated proposal comes as pressure mounts on

Congress to pass legislation overhauling the Postal Service. Theagency announced last week it lost $3.3 billion in its most recentquarter, much of it due to a payment to prefund retiree health ben-efits.

REPUBS IN DENIALDEAR EDITOR: Re: these headings

for two articles in the Los AngelesTimes, Business section, (Saturday,February 4).1) Jobless rate falls to 8.3%, a 3-year

low.2) Stocks reach fresh highsTwo good economic reports send the

Dow to its highest level since May 2008.Although these numbers do not guaran-tee a sustained recovery, they wouldseem to indicate the economy has stabi-lized and is headed in the right direction.Yet, the Republican response is pre-

dictable and nearly unanimous. Theystubbornly cling to their talking pointsthat President Obama inherited a reces-sion ... and made it worse! Sen. MitchMcConnell, Rep. John Boehner, Rep.Eric Cantor, Mitt Romney, NewtGingrich, and the entire RNC read fromthe same script, but offer no rationalexplanation for their conclusions. How isthe jobless rate being at a 3-year lowworse? This is shameless political pos-turing and complete nonsense.The same Republican leaders then

enlighten us with these words of wisdom,“It could be better.” The approval ratingfor those in Congress could be betterthan an unprecedented low of 13%, but itisn’t. When (and if) they ever becomeconcerned about jobs other than theirown, their number may improve as well.That will happen when pigs fly.

MISSED LESSONDEAR EDITOR: I take exception to

Randy Alcorn’s “The Etiquette of War”in January 24 editon of the Daily Sound.He missed the lesson he should havelearned from his Father’s experience inItaly during World War II. We cannot dismiss the recent desecra-

tion of insurgent’s bodies by US Marinesin Afghanistan as an event that will hap-pen in war and simply assign responsibil-ity to our Presidents who have startedand continued the conflict. When Mr. Alcorn’s father witnessed

dead Italian civilians being used as ablood bank for wounded German sol-diers he must have felt the same rage hisfellow American soldier did. What these Marines did in

Afghanistan is make it harder for theMarines that follow them. Insurgent andtheir supporter will react to enemycorpses being urinated on. We are notjust fighting insurgents in Afghanistan,but convincing Afghans to abandon sup-port of the Taliban. These Marines damaged our efforts to

bring the war in Afghanistan to any kindof more stable end.

Michael J. MaloneSanta Barbara

REPUB OBSTRUCTIONDEAR EDITOR: In his State of the

Union Address last night, PresidentObama called for an end to the unprece-

dented obstruction of judicial and exec-utive branch nominees — the over-whelming majority of whom have broadbipartisan support and faced no opposi-tion when they were voted on in com-mittee. For too long, the GOP has gotten away

with its destructive agenda of obstruc-tion, which has left more than 1 out of 10federal judgeships vacant and resulted inunconscionable delays for Americansseeking their day in court. Laws exist to protect all of us, and

courts are where the 99 percewnt andthe 1 percent stand as equals. But eventhe best of laws don’t count for much ifthere aren’t enough judges to enforcethem. Republican U.S. Senators must end

now the unconscionable obstruction ofthe president’s judicial nominations. TheRepublican Minority Leader MitchMcConnell has spearheaded his party’sobstruction efforts.

The president drew a sharp contrastwith Republicans on everything from taxpolicy to green energy. Republican obstruction and other

major themes the president tackled lastTuesday like economic inequality, thecorrosive effect of money in politics,protecting consumers and investing ineducation and medical research. We must fight obstruction with action.

Now, it’s time for all of us to fightobstruction with action.

“Love might not make theworld go round, but without itspossibility, this life would belike eating burnt toast 24hours a day.” — anonymous

We humans hunger for somany things. Besides ourstomachs craving food, ourminds constantly wanting“more”, and our hormones ful-filling their “needs”, there isone overriding sensationwhich seemingly makes this life allworthwhile; that magical feeling calledlove.Now I know this sometimes gets con-

fused with lust or eating vast quantitiesof chocolates (this being Valentine’sDay), but we humans should know bet-ter than to confuse our true heart with

our loins or endorphin levels.(No disrespect meant to ourloins or endorphin levels)Love, real love...that’s a dif-

ferent enchilada. There’s aspecial comfort, a heightenedawareness of appreciation andacceptance with true love.There’s an unparalleled hap-

piness and contentment whena person is bathing in the glowof that inner effusion of theirown heart. It’s the holiest

awareness a human being can indulgein. Nothing higher exists in the uni-verse.You would think that this infinitely

valuable thing would only be availablefor the wealthy or the highly educated.No, even the most unlearned or destituteamong us still has equal access to this

most priceless gem. The ability to expe-rience this highest inner exhilaration isalways a breath away. We only need tofeel what we have already beengiven...to open the gift from our not-so-secret lover. When we feel this arrowfrom the divine hit our heart, the wallsof doubts and fears vanish. Emptiness isreplaced by fulfillment... uncertaintyerased by bliss. We become beautiful.This true love story between us and

existence then blossoms and we canthen share that magnificent fragrance.Drinking from the unlimited well ofgoodness that we have found withinourselves, it’s then easy to adore andtreasure the loves of our life. In goodtimes and bad (and they both willcome)...love truly conquers all.

E LAD IO ’SRESTAURANT AND BAR

Not being a man of faith affiliat-ed with any church or religion mayrule out the notion of my eternity,but it does afford a perspective onthe here and now that is uncloudedby ecclesiastical doctrines derivedfrom interpretations of scripture orhopes and fears of divine judgment. Predictably, my thoughts on the

current confrontation between theCatholic Church and the ObamaAdministration over birth controlmandates for employer providedhealth insurance plans are groundedin objective reality and not the calcifiedcanons of religion.The delicious irony of the Catholic Church

protesting encroachments on its moral valuesis that it has been one of the worst transgres-sors of those values throughout its sordid his-tory. That aside, freedom of religion as guaran-

teed by the U.S. Constitution does not licenseany practice or behavior that religions mightclaim as inviolable principles. If it did,Muslims would be allowed to stone to deathfemale rape victims, orthodox Mormonscould practice polygamy, and Satanists couldmake human sacrifices.The perversity of unquestioning adherence

to religious moral values was recently seen inCanada where Afghan immigrants complyingwith principles of honor derived from theirMuslim faith murdered four of their familymembers. Just as Sharia law cannot supersede secular

law simply based on the argument of freedomof conscience, exemptions from secular lawfor the Catholic Church or any other religionmust be carefully considered.The essential issue at hand is not govern-

ment impositions on religious moral values, itis determining reasonable limits of govern-ment impositions on the private sector—secu-lar or religious. Does the requirement that Church owned

institutions—hospitals, schools, and chari-ties—include contraceptive coverage in theirhealth insurance plans exceed sound publicpolicy and wrongly trespass on freedom ofreligion?First, examine the religious principle in

play here; “sex is only for procreation”.Really? How does that principle conform toreality? Is it based on a justifiable premisethat serves all of society? Judging from the teeming masses of

humanity that are choking the very life out ofthe planet, there is less justification forincreasing human population than for allow-

ing it to decrease by preventingunwanted births. Providing heath care services that

prevent unwanted pregnancies isultimately more life sustaining thannot, and, therefore, good public poli-cy.Next, examine the logic of

exempting Church owned institu-tions from the birth control require-ment. If the Catholic Church boughta grocery store chain would it beentitled to an exemption from thebirth control provision for the

chain’s health insurance plan? Based on personal conscience, should the

owners of any institution be exempt from anylaw they contend violates their conscience,thus imposing their personal beliefs on alltheir employees?There have to be reasonable limits on reli-

gious freedom in order to provide for andprotect the general welfare. Freedom fromreligion is a civil right that must overrulefreedom of religion if broader individualrights are to be protected.The big underlying issue in this current

dust up between church and state is universalhealth care. Is government justified in man-dating that the entire population be coveredby health insurance? If so, can it dictate the extent of that cover-

age, e.g. contraceptives? These questionsinvite contemplation from both the secularand spiritual sectors of society. Is it good pub-lic policy to provide health care for everyone? If health care should be a free-market

enterprise geared primarily for profit andavailable only to those who can pay for it,then we accept that some human casualtiesare unavoidable. Is it then consistent with religious moral

values to allow people to suffer and diebecause they cannot afford medical care? Ifnot, how does preventing or prohibiting birthcontrol not increase the number of peoplewho will eventually not only suffer from lackof adequate health care but also from depriva-tion of other critical resources depleted byexcessive human population?Effectively forcing women to conceive and

carry to term children that they do not want,or cannot afford to support, or cannot proper-ly raise may provide more souls for theChurch to save for a mythical eternity, but inreality it jeopardizes life in the here and now.

ing it a big resource for low income familiesthat don’t have a computer or internet.Many adults also use those computers to

search or apply for jobs, write cover letters,and print resumes.“It’s an incredible community asset,”

Murillo said.Murillo and White’s proposal would pay for

the library through the additional moneybrought in from the bed tax. Bed tax revenuesexceeded projections by $1.5 million accord-ing to a memo by Murillo and White. Murillo

believes $6,800 to give Eastside kids a safehaven on a Monday afternoon is a good bar-gain.Murillo said she and White will also pro-

pose having staff look into keeping the libraryopen into the next fiscal year during budgetsessions.She added that she may float the idea of put-

ting a little more in funding to open the libraryat full hours. She said $8,600 could keep thelibrary open for standard 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Shesaid having these hours would benefit adultsthat use the computers during the day.“It really is a reasonable amount of money

to ask for such a big benefit,” Murillo said.

Whitney Houston’s bodyarrives home in New JerseyNEWARK (Reuters) — Whitney

Houston’s body arrived in her home stateof New Jersey last night, ahead of afuneral expected later this week for thepop superstar whose blockbuster careerwas often overshadowed by drug andalcohol abuse.A plane owned by actor-producer

Tyler Perry landed at an airport inTeterboro, New Jersey, where securitywas tight. A gold hearse left the airportand arrived just before midnight at theWhigham funeral home in Newark, thecity where Houston was born. A crowd ofabout 50 fans had gathered outside.A spokeswoman for Houston’s family

said plans for a memorial had not yetbeen completed, but media reports havesaid a public viewing and funeral wouldbe held later this week.Houston, 48, rose from singing in a

church choir to become one of the best-selling and most admired performers ofher generation.She won six Grammys and more than

400 other awards in a 25-year career thatalso saw her star in such blockbusterfilms as “The Bodyguard.” She was bestknown for her 1992 hit single “I WillAlways Love You.”But Houston’s success was eclipsed

later in life by problems with drinking anddrugs. She had a long history of addictionto alcohol, cocaine and marijuana, admit-ting so on television talk shows. She wasin rehab as recently as May 2011.Houston died in a Beverly Hills hotel

room Saturday on the eve of the musicindustry’s Grammy Awards, and becauseof her drug battles, speculation arose thatshe might have died of a drug overdose.On Monday, Beverly Hills police

called a news conference to address themedia “rumors,” but did not add muchadditional information. They did say thesinger’s body had been found underwaterin the hotel room’s bathtub.“Ms. Houston was apparently discov-

ered in the bathtub by a member of herpersonal staff,” who called hotel security,Beverly Hills Police Lieutenant MarkRosen said. She was pulled from the bath-tub, but when paramedics arrived “she wasunconscious and unresponsive,” he said.

CAUSE OF DEATH STILL UNKNOWNRosen declined comment on whether

prescription drugs were in the room orthe condition of Houston’s body.Detectives have sealed their inquiry, hesaid.

“We are not conducting a homicideinvestigation at this time. We do notknow the cause of death, we do not knowthe circumstances leading up to herdeath,” Rosen said.An autopsy was completed on Sunday,

and a final death report is pending com-pletion of an official investigation andtoxicology reports that may take weeksto finalize.Los Angeles assistant chief coroner

Ed Winter said prescription medicationwas found in Houston’s room, but hedeclined to detail the names of the drugsor the amount found.Dr. Andrew Baker, president of the

National Association of MedicalExaminers who is not involved in the

probe, told Reuters autopsies were goodat establishing or ruling out death fromcauses like trauma, heart disease oraneurysm.“The autopsy is going to rule out 95

percent of things,” he said. “But when itcomes to diagnosing any kind of poison-ing or intoxication or overdose, it reallydoes come down to lab tests.”Meanwhile, Houston’s brother-in-

law, Billy Watson, toldABCNews.com on Monday that hedoesn’t believe the singer would havetaken her own life.“Oh, no, this is accidental,” he said.

“She wouldn’t have left her daughter likethat. She wouldn’t have done that to herdaughter.”

Facebook page that he would not attend untilafter the matter of his censure had been settled. This had been a reversal from January when

Armendariz had said he’d been looking for-ward to the item. The council delayed the itembecause Stein and Reddington were not at themeeting.“I believe that my colleagues should make

these decisions without my further participa-tion,” Armendariz wrote on his wall.So members of the public calling for

Armendariz’s resignation directed their com-ments toward an empty chair. Bill Connell said he had once been a sup-

porter of Armendariz, but his conduct hassince become reprehensible.“I wish him well, but I don’t wish him to be

seated in that seat,” Connell said.Armendariz did have supporters. Mary

McWhirter urged the council to considerArmendariz’s professional conduct, not hispersonal life. She said Armendariz has repre-sented the community well on the committeeshe’s served on and until that changes, the coun-cil should leave Armendariz where he is.“Unless someone can tell me he has done

something unbecoming in his official capacity,I am urging you to do that,” McWhirter said. But few council members agreed.Stein, who had already called upon

Armendariz to resign after his first DUI, saidthat if the laws had allowed it, he’d haveforced Armendariz’s resignation, not justasked for it.

Armendariz should have resigned, he said.“Anyone with any integrity or honor would

do it,” he said.Carty agreed, pointing to ethical standards

set by a previous council that includedArmendariz.“It’s our responsibility as council members

to uphold these standards,” Carty said. Clarksaid there’s no difference between Armendariz’sso-called personal and professional life.“The ethics code agreed to by Mr.

Armendariz does not make a distinctionbetween private affairs and official affairs,”Clark said.Only Reddington disagreed with the meas-

ure. In a previous meeting she had staff put anoption in to allow Armendariz to take a leaveof absence and enter a rehab program.During the hearing last night, she said the

council should wait until the courts had dealtwith Armendariz before the council took anyaction. She felt it set a bad precedent for thecouncil and said if the voters wanted to removeArmendariz, they could recall him.“Are we about healing or are we about hurt-

ing?” Reddington said.The other council members felt

Armendariz’s recovery should be a separatematter. Carty rejected it, believing the cityshouldn’t get involved, though he did wish thatArmendariz gets the help he needs.“I’m not interested,” Carty said. “But I wish

him the best and hope he enters into [rehab].”Clark agreed, noting that this isn’t

Armendariz’s first offense as a sitting councilmember. “The cow is already out of the barn,”Clark said. “He’s got the second DUI.”
