The city of Santa Barbara and Ira and Linda Distenfield are engaged in a high-profile battle over the reality show ʻOn Patrol.ʼDAILY SOUND / File Photo

On Patrol celebrates rulingThe producers of the hit

reality show “On Patrol withSBPD” celebrated a tentativeruling set down by SantaBarbara Superior Court JudgeDonna Geck yesterday, whichsaid there was enough evi-dence for their case to moveforward.

The executive producers ofOn Patrol filed a claimagainst the City of SantaBarbara earlier this year afterthe city abruptly ended film-ing in the middle of theshow’s fifth season.

City officials claimed theypulled the plug because OnPatrol owed the city morethan $45,000 in royalties.

Judge Geck validated four

of On Patrol’s five complaintsin her tentative ruling.

“While [the City of SantaBarbara] may dispute theexistence of any such writtencontract, that dispute does notchange the fact that its exis-tence and material term wereadequately alleged in the[claim], which is all that thiscourt is concerned with ondemurrer,” Geck wrote.

Distenfield said Geck’sruling was a small victory forthe show’s battle with CityHall.

“I think the good thingsabout this are twofold,”Distenfied said. “We’re ableto go forward with the lawsuitand, not only did Judge Geckoverrule the city’s challenges,but said that the defenses the

Bankruptcy could doompopular transit service

A bus company’s bank-ruptcy could leave hundredsof Santa Barbara employeescommuting from Ventura outon the curb as early as July1st.

The Texas-based CoachAmerica operated the VISTACoastal Express line buseswhich run from Ventura up

through Carpinteria, SantaBarbara, and out to UCSB.But the company filed forbankruptcy in January andVentura CountyTransportation Commissionexecutive director DarrenKettle said an estimated 1,500commuters, many of themworkers in Santa Barbara,could be left stranded in thecounty.

“The nature of the impact

will have a fairly broadreach,” Kettle said.

T r a n s p o r t a t i o nManagement Systems boughtpart of their assets whichincluded the VISTA lines.Kettle said the companydecided maintaining theroutes wouldn’t be financiallyviable and isn’t going to pro-vide them.

With those routes gone, theonly lifeline left would be the

Coastal Express Limited, anexpress connection betweenVentura and Santa Barbarawhich is operated throughMTD. But in addition to lessfrequent service, that linecosts twice as much as thestandard price which mightnot be viable for some com-muters.

Facebook's U.S. user numbers dwindled in May from Apriland March, according to data compiled by research firmcomScore, in the latest sign that growth may be leveling off atthe No. 1 social network.

Last month, Facebook attracted 158.01 million unique visi-tors in the United States, edging lower from 158.69 million inApril and 158.93 million in March, comScore said.

Keeping users coming back -- or combating fatigue -- is cru-cial for all social media services, analysts say. Facebook is con-sistently trotting our new features, including the "Timeline"interface rolled out this year, and more are expected with thedeal to acquire popular photo-sharing app Instagram.

ComScore has changed how it counts users, making year-agocomparisons harder. Under its old methods, comScore previous-ly said Facebook had 157.22 million visitors in May 2011,which would make Wednesday's data a year-on-year increase ofjust 0.5 percent.

The changes comScore made generally reduce user numbers,so in an apples-to-apples comparison, user growth would lookslightly bigger, a comsScore spokesman said.

Users spent an average of 380.8 minutes, or more than sixhours, on the site in May this year, up slightly from 378.9 min-utes in April.

In April last year, as measured under comScore's old tech-niques, users spent 374.9 minutes on the site.

AUTOMOTIVE NEWS

The economy is wreaking havoc on everyone's finances thesedays. Along with predictable living expenses, the burden of unex-pected debts such as medical or family emergencies, and home orcar repair, can prove overwhelming.For anyonewho has experienced credit issues, including a bank-

ruptcy, finding sources of cash can be challenging. A creative fi-nancing solution exists -- borrowing against the equity (value) inany car for which the driver holds the title. This is called a "titleloan", and Santa Barbara-basedACTFinance has recently launcheda division that specializes in this type of loan.In exchange for the title, ACT will give the borrower half the

vehicle's current value in cash. Customers continue driving theircars while repaying the loan. ACT title loans have no prepaymentpenalty and can be paid off at any time. It's a win-win for anyonein need of a short-term loan.For more information about title loans, call ACT Finance at

Suspect in deadlycrash back in court

L. Tyrone Richardson, theman charged with the second-degree murder of AllisonMeadows, will arraigned inSanta Barbara CountySuperior Court today.

Richardson was set for hisarraignment Wednesdaymorning, but there was adelay due to representationissues.

Richardson was originallyset to be represented by localdefense attorney StevenAndrade but couldn’t affordto retain his services. That’swhen attorney Josh Webbstepped up and offered todefend Richardson for freecontingent upon the investi-gation fees being paid by theState, much like a publicdefender’s investigation feeswould.

Honorable Clifford R.

Anderson, the Santa BarbaraSuperior Court Judge presid-ing over the arraignment,blocked this on grounds thatthe State could not afford topay these fees in the financialpredicament it is already in.

Being unable to afford anattorney, Richardson is forcedto go with a public defenderwhen he faces charges includ-ing second-degree murder,parole violation, driving with-out a license and while intox-icated. His bail remains at $1million.

Richardson is accused ofkilling Meadows in a bizarrecar accident on East ValleyRoad nearly three weeks ago.The CHP is investigatingwhether car surfing may haveled to Meadows’ death.

Richardson’s arraignmentwas rescheduled for Thursdaymorning at 8:30 a.m.

A Synchronized Approach to Insurance

Let’s talk ...Let’s discuss smart ways to synchronize your insurance coverage and save you money

The style of story-tellingand humor used in WesAnderson’s MoonriseKingdom is reminiscent ofLost in Translation and Fargo.Perhaps this comparisoncomes to mind in part becausethe stars of both films, BillMurray and FrancesMcDormand are Mr. and Mrs.Bishop in this film. But thecomparison has more to dowith the emptiness of thecharacters protrayed and theoffbeat interaction and dia-logue of the entire ensemblecast.

The two central charactersare twelve years old.Eccentric in their own right,Sam (Jared Gilman) and Suzy(Kara Hayward) are unusual-ly suited. Troubled and aban-doned, both lack healthyparental examples of moralcharacter. Sam’s lack is dueto the death of his parents andhis subsequent uncommittedfoster home experiences.However, Suzy’s void is notdue to her parent’s deaths butto their empty lives. Havinglost love for each other, theBishops have become more alegal partnership not onlybecause they are both lawyersbut also because they don’tcare about each other. Notonly is Laura Bishop havingan affair on her husband butshe also uses a bullhorn tocommunicate impersonallywith her four children.

Reacting to their empti-ness, Sam and Suzy reach outto each other for love. It isthis young and innocent lovethat fuels the central action ofthe film. Running away fromhis scout camp, Sam enticesSuzy to run away from herhome. It is their flight intothe wilderness that creates theopportunity for them to find anew way to live.

Completing the ensemblecast is Captain Sharp (BruceWillis), a simple-minded butcaring police chief, ScoutMaster Ward (EdwardNorton), whose retreat intoscouting’s paramilitary lifehas provided structure to hislife, and a soul-less bureau-crat from social servicesplayed by Tilda Swinton.

We won’t spoil the plot ofhow this young love impacts

Sam and Suzy’s life or a state-ment that Walt Bishop makesto his wife that sums up thefilm. When Laura Bishopapologizes for the pain shecaused her husband, sheexplains to him that the two ofthem are “all their childrenhave”. He insightfullyresponds, “It is not enough.”We agree. This film is notenough. The humanity por-trayed is so void of depth andwisdom that it is depressing,not only for Sam and Suzy,but for all of us viewers aswell. Although there are somemoments of humor, they donot overcome the emptinessof the characters’ lives.

Discussion for those whohave seen this film:

1. The creative style offraming each scene is mini-malistic yet symbolic. Theuse of props such as Suzy’ssuitcase and Sam’s glassescreate a second languagewithin the film. Do you findthis type of symbolic lan-guage helpful or distracting ina film?

2. The innocent sexualityof Suzy and Sam implies a

lack of exposure to the sexu-alized culture in which welive. What do you believe thewriters were communicatingin having them be sounspoiled? Do you believethis is true of most twelveyear olds? Why do youanswer as you do?

3. The paramilitary andsurvival nature of the scoutcamp was something Samseems to have excelled atlearning. Yet he wants toleave. Why do you think thisis true? Was it that the otherscouts did not accept him,was it his desire to be lovedby Suzy, or was it a rejectionof such a rigid way of life?What motivates you to livethe life you live: friendship,love, or something else?

city put up ‘bordered of the frivolous.’”City Attorney Steve Wiley disagreed.“[The ruling] is pretty much what we

expected,” Wiley said. “This puts us in agood position for motion for summaryjudgment and that should get the casedismissed.”

Wiley called the lawsuit frivolous andsaid the city will fight it.

“There’s really no case here,” Wileysaid, “it’s a flakey lawsuit. [Distenfield]is just trying to get out of paying thecity.”

But Distenfield says this suit is notabout the back money the city claims theshow owes and also said the city hasinformed the court that it is open tomediation.

“This lawsuit is not about moneyowed by On Patrol to the City of SantaBarbara,” Distenfield said. “On Patrolpaid over $50,000 to the PoliceDepartment with all checks given direct-ly to the former Business Manager,Karen Flores. We have asked theDepartment over and over again to pro-vide an accounting of monies paid by OnPatrol to Ms. Flores. That accounting hasyet to be provided, and Ms. Flores hassince been arrested for embezzlement of

hundreds and hundreds of thousands ofdollars.”

Distenfield says this lawsuit is aboutthe City’s failure to honor the terms ofthe extended contract to film SeasonFive.

“If Wiley thought this litigation was anuisance without merit, then why wouldthey agree to mediate and why would theJudge refer to their defense arguments as“bordered on the frivolous.”

Wiley countered Distenfiled’s argu-ment saying the city would only agree to

mediation if On Patrol agrees to pay thearrearage.

“Until they’ve paid their bills, we’renot going take it to the City Council,”Wiley said.

But Distenfield and his wife, LindaDistenfield, dispute the allegation thatmoney is owed.

“It was agreed by all parties that thebalance due would be paid in full after anextensive accounting and a signedextended contract,” Linda Distenfieldsaid. “Neither has happened.”

Barbara County employeeand seven year Ventura com-muter, said she’s disappointedthat they couldn’t do some-thing earlier because a lot ofVentura residents don’t havecars.

“They’re leaving a lot peo-ple that don’t have cars in thelurch,” Rios said.

Emi Goleta, anotherVentura commuter, works inretail and as a dance instruc-tor. While she has a car, sheprefers taking the bus, as itavoids many of the hassles ofcommuting. Without it, she’dhave to drive up four to fivetimes a week and might evenhave to consider cutting backher hours

“It’s so nice to not have toworry about driving, parking,or gas,” Goleta said. “You canjust relax on the bus.”

Goleta’s situation under-scores another problem withlosing the routes. Caltrans hasbeen working to ease com-muting traffic on the 101

Freeway, and with no buslines, more drivers would bethrown out onto an alreadyovercrowded freeway.

But neither Ventura norSanta Barbara intends to let itget to that point.

The VCTC is holding aspecial meeting today to dealwith the problem. Kettle saidthe commission is hoping toget a one-month extension forthe services from AmericanCoach and then negotiate anew contract with anothercompany by August.

“We’re hopeful we’ll beable to put these piecestogether,” Kettle said. “Butwe’re not there yet.”

If a deal can’t be negotiat-ed the commission would tryto cobble together some serv-ices from other companieslike Gold Coast, MTD, andothers. Kettle estimatesVentura would need to gatherabout 27 vehicles to maintainminimal service levels,though he noted that’s for allcommuters, not just SantaBarbara.

“With the various partnersthroughout the region we’ll

be able to keep some level ofservice in existence,” Kettlesaid.

Gregg Hart, public infor-mation officer for the SantaBarbara County Associationof Governments, said SantaBarbara’s position isn’t asprecarious. Ventura deals withcommuters going to both LosAngeles, Santa Barbara andfurther inland. He said SantaBarbara could get by with justa third of what Ventura needs.

“If it’s only eight or nine[buses] it’s not quite as daunt-ing,” Hart said.

Still, Hart said protectingout of town commuters isimportant and SBCAG couldwork out its own contingencyplans if Ventura doesn’t get adeal. Santa Barbara coulddraw a few buses from MTD,put the Clean Air Expressshuttles on a normal schedule,and even get support fromSanta Barbara Airbus.

“The bottom line is wewant to make sure that thisservice continues uninterrupt-ed and that passengers aren’tinconvenienced at all,” Hartsaid.

City tries to stop noxiousodors from Bird Refuge

The Andree Clark BirdRefuge is one of SantaBarbara’s most beautiful, nat-ural treasures.

But right now, it stinks.A rapid algae bloom and

decay has resulted in noxiousodors to ooze out of the 29-acre Bird Refuge.

The Bird Refuge has poorcirculation and its only sourceof freshwater is rainwater andurban runoff. As a result, cityofficials said, the Bird Refugehas poor water circulation andlow oxygen levels, which canresult in the awful smell.

The last time this occurredin 2009, the city added waterto the lake to improve thewater quality. This time, how-ever, the city can’t add waterbecause the lake level is toohigh.

Instead, the city’s Parksand Recreation Departmentbegan operating a small,motorized skiff onWednesday. The small boat isdesigned to aerate the water,increase oxygen levels,improve water quality andreduce odors.

“We anticipate that theconditions at the Bird Refugewill improve over time,” saidJill Zachary, assistant parks

and recreation director, in anews release.

The Parks and RecreationDepartment recently complet-ed the first phase of a 5-yearvegetation management proj-ect to improve water flow inthe culverts that enter thelake, reduce the potential forflooding and improve mos-quito abatement.

The Bird Refuge was orig-inally a salt marsh thatreceived fresh water fromSycamore Creek.Construction of the railroad inthe 1880s re-routed SycamoreCreek and thereby eliminatedthe primary source of freshwater.

(Reuters) - U.S. authoritiessaid on Wednesday theyexpect this week to seize a 70-million-year-old dinosaurskeleton that was discoveredin Mongolia more than 65years ago and now is stored inNew York and at the center ofan international legal dispute.

A federal judge in NewYork has signed a warrant thatallows the U.S. Departmentof Homeland Security to seizethe skeleton of theTyrannosaurus bataar - anAsian cousin of the NorthAmerican Tyrannosaurus rex- from Dallas-based HeritageAuctions.

"We should have it by the

end of the week," said LuisMartinez, a spokesman forU.S. Immigration andCustoms Enforcement.

The seizure will be a"major step forward" for thegovernment of Mongolia,which is claiming sovereignownership and seeking theskeleton's return, said RobertPainter, a Houston attorneywho represents MongolianPresident Elbegdorj Tsakhia.

The skeleton - 8 feet(2.4m) tall and 24 feet (7.3m)long - has been stored incrates in New York City sinceHeritage sold it at auction toan unidentified buyer formore than $1 million on May

20. At the request of theMongolian government, aU.S. District judge in Dallasissued a restraining order pre-venting the skeleton frombeing moved or the owner-ship transferred while the dis-pute is pending.

Manhattan U.S. AttorneyPreet Bharara filed a lawsuiton Monday seeking the for-feiture of the nearly intactskeleton and its return to theMongolian government.

In New York, U.S. DistrictJudge Kevin Castel onTuesday issued an order toseize the fossil because it wassubject to forfeiture underfederal laws.
