  With the summer and autumn harvests offering us a bounty of wonderful, healthful foods, it’s easier to remember what real food is. A century ago, people ate real food because the stores weren’t selling corn syrup soda and chips, power bars and vitamin water.

  In the last few decades, with ever more convenient processed and fast foods being consumed in ever increasing amounts, our diets have continuously changed. The markets (not the farmers’ kind) have brought us zillions of tasty products, with the help of chemical colorings and flavorings, preservatives and sweeteners. Our diets have been yanked around as we were led to believe first one thing and then another - we would be better off if we: ate less sugar; quit eating fats; took nutritional supplements; ate more meat; ate less meat…

  Obesity, heart disease, cancer and other illnesses have all been linked to our new ways of eating, and this is finally becoming evident. Best selling authors like Michael Pollan and Barbara Kingsolver are illuminating this truth: what may be good for the food and diet industry, may not be the best for us. For a multitude of reasons, but even only considering human health and the planet’s, returning to real food just seems like a good idea, you know, the easily identifiable stuff with few ingredients and clear origins. - Submitted by Barbara Hirsch, chair of the SANE library committee (Sustainable Actions Needed Everywhere), UCSB.

  Palin More Popular than Obama or McCain?

   » ‎view full story at SantaBarbarasBlog.com

  Tags:  News  

  A week ago, most Americans had never heard of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Now, following a Vice Presidential acceptance speech seen live by more than 40 million people, Palin is viewed favorably by 58% of American voters, according to the latest Rasmussen Report. The national survey finds that 37% hold an unfavorable view of the self-described hockey mom.

  According to the report, Palin’s favorable ratings are now a point higher than either man at the top of the Presidential tickets this year. As of Friday morning, Obama and McCain are each viewed favorably by 57% of voters. The beleaguered Joe Biden is viewed favorably by only 48% of those surveyed.

  Palin Takes Center Stage

   » ‎view full story at SantaBarbarasBlog.com

  Tags:  News  

  

  Sarah Palin, the controversial “Juno/Juneau” candidate will take center stage tonight at the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minneapolis-Saint Paul. Critics will be hanging on every word of this relatively unknown Vice Presidential nominee, while supporters will be yelling… “that glass ceiling, with 18 million cracks in it, has been shattered!”

  UPDATE: Here is a summary from the Huffington Post…

  Unless something else unexpected happens (and it could), Sarah Palin has made it a race. Tonight she was a more compelling and powerful presence than was John McCain. Does she belong in the big time? Judging from this performance, yes. She delivered under enormous pressure, and with great poise. It was an an effective attack on Obama and his supporters, from the right. Yes, she was reading from a script, and yes, she has yet to deal with press conferences, a debate with Biden, subpoenas from the Alaska State Legislature, and other challenges. But I don’t think the Democrats will under estimate her political abilities after tonight.

  City Council to Oppose Offshore Drilling

   » ‎view full story at SantaBarbarasBlog.com

  Tags:  News  

  Counteracting a 3-2 vote by the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors to support offshore drilling, the Santa Barbara City Council is prepared to vote on an Oil Moratorium Resolution next Tuesday at a special 6pm meeting. Here are the terms from Councilwoman Helene Schneider:
  

  A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA SUPPORTING THE STATE AND FEDERAL MORATORIA ON NEW OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS LEASING OFF THE SANTA BARBARA COASTLINE

  WHEREAS the City of Santa Barbara is the site of the devastating oil spill of 1969 that led to the forming of the modern environmental movement and Earth Day worldwide; and

  WHEREAS City of Santa Barbara residents have long opposed new oil and gas drilling off their coastline and support protecting the valuable coastal environment over development of the relatively small amounts of oil and gas offshore California, and

  WHEREAS the Santa Barbara City’s General Plan states clearly that the City should “continue efforts to prohibit new oil exploration, drilling and production in the channel and to cause the termination of existing leases and the removal of platform structures,” and its Local Coastal Plan also highlights the importance of the City’s coastal natural resources, ocean-related/visitor-serving commercial uses, and an active, working harbor dependent upon healthy marine resources in the Santa Barbara Channel.

  WHEREAS on May 3, 2005, the Santa Barbara City Council voted to send a letter to the California Coastal Commission expressing its opposition to any extension of offshore oil leases off the central coast of California and encouraged the California Coastal Commission to not make a consistency determination for the pending thirty-seven (37) offshore federal oil leases; and

  WHEREAS according to the U. S. Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration (EIA), new offshore drilling “would not have a significant impact on domestic crude oil and natural gas production or prices before 2030”; and

  WHEREAS in 2007, the City of Santa Barbara was the first city in the State to pass the Architecture 2030 Challenge, by enacting an ordinance requiring all new construction to exceed Title 24 energy savings standards by 20% and was the first city in Southern California to certify its greenhouse gas emissions inventory in all municipal facilities in order to create a plan to reduce energy consumption over time; and

  WHEREAS on August 26, 2008 the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, on a 3-2 vote, authorized the County to send a letter to Governor Schwarzenegger to consider a change in policy that would allow expanded oil exploration and extraction in Santa Barbara County. Such decision reversed the County’s position in 2007 that supported the continuation of the federal moratorium on new oil and gas leases in federal waters and prompted national headlines questioning this change of energy policy in Santa Barbara, California.

  THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City of Santa Barbara continues its strong support of the state and federal moratoria on new offshore oil and gas leasing off the Santa Barbara coastline; and

  BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the City of Santa Barbara encourages and supports all levels of government to research and implement options that increase energy independence and reduce reliance on foreign oil, such as incentives to improve energy efficiency, requirements to improve automobile fuel efficiency, provide funding for research into renewable energy and alternative fuels, and fully fund energy conservation and efficiency; and

  BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED THAT the City Administrator transmit copies of this resolution to Senators Boxer and Feinstein, Congressmember Capps, Governor Schwarzenegger, Assemblymember Nava, State Senator McClintock and the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors.

  Let's play a game. No, no, not that creepy one with the hacksaw, Christ. I meant the sweet, innocent kind that you haven't played in years -- the kind with boards and playing pieces and paper money! No? Shit. O.K., I'm getting ahead of myself -- let's start over.

  It’s nice to think of our drinking water as pure and clean, from rain and melted snow filtered by miles of streams and earth, and sometimes it is. But not usually. There just isn’t enough of that to supply a world of thirsty humans.

  In some places, people are drinking very clean water that was once in the toilet. Well… maybe we’re all drinking water that was once in a toilet, come to think of it. With only about 1% of the water on the planet available for our agricultural, industrial, household and drinking uses (most is saltwater and some is frozen on the poles, hopefully for a while anyway) that water is constantly being recycled in the environment and in our wastewater and potable water treatment plants.

  A new reclamation plant in Orange County, California takes the water that comes from our toilets, sinks and showers and transforms it into water that is cleaner than the groundwater that it then joins when it leaves the plant. Normally, (less) treated wastewater flows into rivers and ends up in the ocean, along with pharmaceuticals and other substances difficult to remove, and which fish don’t care for either. Water traveling into this facility is pumped through massive filters, and reverse osmosis chambers, then disinfected with hydrogen peroxide, ultraviolet irradiated, and further treated. People don’t like the idea of sewage to drinking water for some reason, so when it leaves the plant it is pumped miles away to a lake and ends up, cool and clear, back in our homes. - Submitted by Barbara Hirsch, chair of the SANE library committee (Sustainable Actions Needed Everywhere), UCSB.

  Barbara Warren, one of the world’s elite endurance athletes in her age group and one-half of a well-known pair of triathlete twins, has died after breaking her neck in a bike crash at the Santa Barbara Triathlon. She was 65.Warren crashed her bike on a downhill road about halfway through the 34-mile cycling section of the race on Saturday, race director Joe Coito said. Warren was paralyzed from the neck down and was breathing with the aid of the ventilator.

  Her twin sister, Angelika Drake, said Barbara told the family by blinking and nodding that she wanted to die. “I talked to her and she nodded over and over and over again. She wanted to leave,” Drake said. “No athlete would like to have a life with only their eyes talking.” Warren’s two daughters and her husband Tom were also with her at the hospital when she died.
