ically to my assistantson possible changes.The most common thing
I noticed was that most of
the employees could beworking harder than theyare. Finally, I spotted oneguy who's literally just lean-ing against the wall, twid-dling his thumbs. I waspissed off and decided tosend a message. I walked upto the guy, who doesn't seembothered in the slightest."Hey, you," I said. "What are
you doing?" "Just, sittingaround waiting to getpaid," the man said. NowI was really furious."Okay, well tell you what.How much do you make ina week?" The manshrugged, "I don't know,$200." I said pulling out mypersonal checkbook, wrote acheck for $400, and hands itto the man. "Two weeks no-tice. Now get out." The manpaused, thinks for a moment,
and then leaves. Feeling sat-isfied, I turned around toeveryone, hoping the mes-sage has been received."Well? Can anyone tell mewhat just happened?""Well," said one of my em-ployees, "You just tipped thepizza guy a whole lot ofmoney."

Idetermined after many years of re-search...that most Women are like cellphones. They like to be held and talked to,
but if you push the wrong button, you'll bedisconnected.
In my neighborhood pet supply store a I over-head a customer wanting to buy a redsweater for her dog. The clerk showed a few
sizes and models to her and suggested to bring the dogin for a perfect fit. "I'm afraid I can't do that" the ladyreplies to the clerk. When he asks why, the lady says"The sweater is a surprise gift!" Really ... it's Americaand anything is possible with all these microwave tow-ers everywhere.
There comes a time when a woman just has to trust herhusband. For example....
A lady friend came home one night, very late, and quietlyopens the door to my bedroom.From under the sheets she sees four legs instead of two.
She reaches for a baseball bat that I keep near the bed andstarts hitting the sheet as hard as she can. Leaving the cov-ered bodies groaning, she goes to the kitchen to have adrink. As she enters, she sees me reading a magazine. "Hi, sweetheart", I say. "Your parents have come to visit
us, so l let them stay in our bedroom. Did you say, Hi?"I still ended up in the hospital.

CORRECTION
"In the April 15th issue of The Local News... the wrong picture was usedto portray the OVLL World Series: Little League Champions on page 18.This is the correct photo."
Orange, California--The late, love-able Huell Howser, who endearedhimself to millions as the happy-
go-lucky, upbeat host of the state's ultimateTV travel show, "California's Gold," willenrich lives forever with his new perma-nent collection in Chapman University'sLeatherby Libraries.The award-winning journalist, who do-
nated his TV shows, books, personal let-ters and art, as well as two houses andmore to Chapman, would be thrilled withthis special exhibit, which was createdafter his death in 2013."We wanted to honor his memory and
show his work behind the scenes," saidChapman's Chief Archivist Rand Boyd.The magnificent result is an exhibit, spon-
sored by the Automobile Club of SouthernCalifornia, showing his office, a produc-tion schedule, sound-graph of him saying,"California's Gold," a milk bottle with hislikeness, "found art" from his journeys(which include beautiful pieces of metal),part of the original HOLLYWOOD sign,his famous yellow Hawaiian shirt, pillarswith photos and info on his journeys, amap of California on the floor showingwhere every segment was shot, and quotesfrom his friends on the wall: "He couldtake a complicated subject and make itsimple," said Ryan Morris, Huell's assis-tant and producer. "He was not an intellec-tual but an artist and television was histool." Along the wall, there's a fascinatingtimeline of his life, complete with picturesand notes. There's also a reading room,complete with hundreds of his books onCalifornia history, a viewing area to watchhis shows, and a large archive, whichstores more than 1,000 TV segments.At a recent open house of the exhibit,
"That's Amazing! Thirty Years of HuellHouser and California's Gold," thousandsof people lined up to take their turn walk-ing amongst their friend's (everyone whoreligiously watched his segments thoughtof him as a friend) memorabilia. Ironically,as fans waited in line, they could hear theactual operatic whistling of Carole AnneKaufman, who once wowed Huell with herincredible talent that has made her knownas "The Whistling Diva." Carole and other
stars from his shows, came to honor Huelland his fans. They also came to see thescreening of a world premiere hour-longmovie about Huell and the making of "Cal-ifornia's Gold," created by Chapman FilmProfessor Jeff Swimmer. The movie'scalled, "A Golden State of Mind—TheStorytelling Genius of Huell Howser."Huell, a smiling, southern drawl-talking,
down-to-earth fellow from Tennessee, be-lieved every person in every walk of lifehas a story to tell. And he always broughtout the best in his interviewees by puttingthem at ease and becoming their pal. To-ward the end of his life, Huell and Chap-man President James Doti became goodfriends, and he wanted to find a universitythat would digitalize all the episodes of his
shows and make them avail-able free of charge to the pub-lic, which Chapman hasdone. Check out, huell-howserarchives.com.He also wanted to endow a
"California's Gold Scholar-ship" that would be presented to Chapmanundergrads who "display a positive out-look and are actively pursuing ways to im-prove society." He funded this during hislifetime and as a bequest through his livingtrust."A hundred years from now…the words
‘California's Gold' will no longer meananything about me or a television series,"Howser said. "They will mean what Cali-fornia's Gold has always truly meant: notthe literal gold nuggets that they pulled outof the earth…but the dreams that broughtpeople here and are still bringing peoplehere." In October, 2012, Huell was filmedtalking about this bequest. You can watchit online at chapman.edu/legacy-stories.We need Huell's positive outlook on
people and places more than ever before.Thanks to his extraordinary vision andgenerosity, Public Television, ChapmanUniversity, the Automobile Club of South-ern California and others, we can escapeand go on vacation with Huell wheneverwe want to, learning the hidden treasuresin our "Golden State." The forever contri-butions that Huell has made will enrich usall with real "California's Gold."The exhibit is currently open from 9-5,
Tuesday through Friday and from 10-6Saturdays inside the Leatherby Libraries,Chapman University, One UniversityDrive, Orange. To find out more about theexhibit and further information, go towww.chapman.edu.6

Are There Two Americas?Are There Two Americas...In early January 2014, Bob Lonsberry, a Rochester talk radio per-
sonality on WHAM 1180 AM, said this in response to the President's"income inequality speech":
TWO AMERICAS The Democrats are right, there are two Americas.The America that works and the America that doesn’t.The America that contributes and the America that doesn’t.It’s not the haves and the have not's, it’s the do's and the don’ts.Some people do their duty as Americans, obey the law, support
themselves, contribute to society, and others don’t. That’s the dividein America.It’s not about income inequality, it’s about civic irresponsibility.It’s about a political party that preaches hatred, greed and victim-
ization in order to win elective office.It’s about a political party that possibly loves power more than it
loves its country. That’s not invective, that’s truth, and it’s about time
someone said it.The politics of envy was on proud display a couple weeks ago
when President Obama pledged the rest of his term to fighting “in-come inequality.” He noted that some people make more than otherpeople, that some people have higher incomes than others, and hesays that’s not just.That is the rationale of thievery. The other guy has it, you want it,
the government will take it for you. Vote Democrat.That is the philosophy that produced Detroit. It is the electoral phi-
losophy that is destroying America.It conceals a fundamental deviation from American values and
common sense because it ends up not benefiting the people who sup-port it, but a betrayal.The Democrats have not empowered their followers; they have
enslaved them in a culture of dependence and entitlement, of vic-timhood and anger instead of ability and hope. As stated beforetheir followers are living on the government plantation. The pres-ident’s premise – that you reduce income inequality by debasingthe successful – seeks to deny the successful the consequencesof their choices and spare the unsuccessful the consequences oftheir choices.Because, by and large, income variation in society is a result of
different choices leading to different consequences. Those who
choose wisely and responsibly have a far greater likelihood of suc-cess, while those who choose foolishly and irresponsibly have a fargreater likelihood of failure. Success and failure usually manifestthemselves in personal and family income.You choose to drop out of high school or to skip college - and you
are apt to have a different outcome than someone who gets a diplomaand pushes on with purposeful education.You have your children out of wedlock and life is apt to take one
course; you have them within a marriage and life is apt to take an-other courseMost often in life our destination is determined by the course we
take.My doctor, for example, makes far more than I do. There is sig-
nificant income inequality between us. Our lives have had an in-equality of outcome, but, our lives also have had an inequality ofeffort. While my doctor went to college and then devoted his youngadulthood to medical school and residency, I got a job in a restau-rant.
He made a choice, I made a choice,and our choices led us to different out-comes. His outcome pays a lot betterthan mine.
Does that mean he cheated andBarack Obama needs to take away hiswealth? No, it means we are both freemen in a free society where free choiceslead to different outcomes.It is not inequality Barack Obama
intends to take away, it is freedom. Thefreedom to succeed and the freedom tofail.There is no true option for success
if there is no true option for failure.The pursuit of happiness means a
whole lot less when you face the puni-tive hand of government if your pursuitbrings you more happiness than theother guy.Even if the other guy sat on his rear
and did nothing. Even if the other guymade a lifetime’s worth of asinine andshortsighted decisions.Barack Obama and the Democrats
preach equality of outcome as a right, while completely ignoringinequality of effort.The simple Law of the Harvest – as ye sow, so shall ye reap –
is sometimes applied as, “The harder you work, the more you get."Obama would turn that upside down. Those who achieve are tobe punished as enemies of society and those who fail are to be re-warded as wards of society.Entitlement will replace effort as the key to upward mobility in
American society if Barack Obama gets his way. He seeks a lowestcommon denominator society in which the government besieges thesuccessful and productive to foster equality through mediocrity.He and his party speak of two Americas, and their grip on power
is based on using the votes of one to sap the productivity of the other.America is not divided by the differences in our outcomes; it is di-vided by the differences in our efforts. It is a false philosophy to sayone man’s success comes about unavoidably as the result of anotherman’s victimization.What Obama offered was not a solution, but separatism. He fo-
mented division and strife, pitted one set of Americans against an-other for his own political benefit. That’s what socialists offer.Marxist class warfare wrapped up with a bow.Two Americas, coming closer each day to proving the truth to Lin-
coln’s maxim that a house divided against itself cannot stand.
An atheist was walking through thewoods.'What majestic trees'!'What powerful rivers'!'What beautiful animals'!He said to himself.As he was walking alongside the river,
he heard a rustling in the bushes behindhim.He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot
grizzly bear charge towards him..He ran as fast as he could up the path.
He looked over his shoulder & saw thatthe bear was closing in on him.He looked over his shoulder again, &
the bear was even closer. He tripped &fell on the ground. He rolled over to pickhimself up but saw that the bear was righton top of him, reaching for him with hisleft paw & raising his right paw to strikehim.At that instant the Atheist cried out, 'Oh
my God!'Time Stopped.The bear froze.The forest was silent.As a bright light shone upon the man,
a voice came out of the sky. 'You deny myexistence for all these years, teach othersI don't exist and even credit creation to
cosmic accident.' 'Do you expect me tohelp you out of this predicament? Am I tocount you as a believer'?The atheist looked directly into the
light, 'It would be hypocritical of me tosuddenly ask you to treat me as a Chris-tian now, but perhaps you could make theBEAR a Christian'?The light went out. The sounds of the
forest resumed. And the bear dropped hisright paw, brought both paws together,bowed his head &spoke:"Lord bless this food, which I am about
to receive from thy bounty through Christour Lord, Amen"

SURFERS.In the early 70’s, surfers from Southern California traveled
down the rugged Baja coast, exploring the breaks along theway. During these journeys, they often stopped by tiny can-tinas where locals introduced them to Pacifico. Over time, thesurfers began bringing cases of Pacifico back to the U.S.,making them the beer’s first importers.

What beganas an iso-
lated incidenthas become an
epidemic. The Buffalo Jills became the thirdNFL cheerleading squad in the past four monthsto sue over wages - or lack thereof - and workingconditions.
Lawsuits have also been filed by the Raiderettesagainst the Oakland Raiders and the Ben-Galsagainst the Cincinnati Bengals. All three suits detailthe lack of compensation, strict club control overdress and appearance and the imposition of finesand other penalties for any rule violations. Ratherthan the glitter and glamour depicted on televisionand described on team websites, cheerleading, atleast NFL-style, is nothing more than a scam per-
petrated on naive young women and an unsuspect-ing public. While the cheerleaders themselves are underpaid,
they generate millions for their employers. A 2003article in Forbes estimated that cheerleaders gener-ated a minimum of $1 million per year for theirteams. That amount has surely increased over thepast decade. The NFL should be embarrassed.
Teams are rolling in cash –the league grossed nearly $10billion in revenue last year –but they can’t resist squeez-ing the little people that areaffiliated with the most pop-ular sport in the country. One of the most damning
allegations contained in theJills’ complaint is that theyare treated as independentcontractors rather than em-ployees. The general rule isthat an individual is an inde-
pendent contractor if the payer – in this case, theteam - has “the right to control or direct only theresult of the work and not what will be done andhow it will be done.” The key is whether the em-ployer controls the details of how the services areperformed.You want details? Every team has a detailed
handbook and Code of Conduct that must be ad-hered to. The Jills’ handbook consists of twelve
pages of dos and don’ts that are both demeaningand insulting. Cheerleaders are given guidance oneverything from proper eating etiquette (25 rules)to female hygiene (17 rules). Examples include,“When trying to capture a small piece of food ontoa utensil, it is acceptable to use another utensil foraiding it aboard. Never use your fingers.” In thesection of the handbook titled, “General hygiene &lady body maintenance,” cheerleaders are toldwhich tampons to use and how to keep their “inti-mate areas” fresh.Perhaps the biggest insult is the lack of compen-
sation for these indignities. Jills are not paid forgame day cheering, practice, or the bulk of their re-quired minimum of 20 personal appearances.When they do receive tips, for example during theJills Golf Tournament (for which participation ismandatory), they are required to turn them in. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was paid
$44.2 million in 2012. Surely the league’s cheer-leaders deserve to be paid minimum wage.

that California's winescene is incrediblywelcoming.This is understand-
able; we see our fa-vorite winemakers onthe covers of maga-
zines and struggle to contain our excitement when newwines hit the market. So expecting to meet any big namein the flesh seems as fantastical as expecting to meet BradPitt or Angelina Jolie on a trip to Hollywood.
But it's not. And sometimes, these encounters are so in-spirational that lives are forever changed.Consider my own experience.Long before writing about wine, I started making regu-
lar pilgrimages to Napa Valley and Sonoma County to de-
velop my palate and expand my knowledge.On one early trip, I sent an email to Thomas Rivers
Brown, one of the nation's hottest winemakers. The vintnerbehind a host of highly regarded labels -- includingSchrader, Outpost, and Maybach -- made his first bigsplash in 2008 when he became the youngest winemakerin history to receive a 100-point score from Robert Parker.In 2010, Brown was named Food & Wine's "Winemakerof the Year."I had been purchasing wines from Brown's personal
label, Rivers-Marie, for a couple years so was hopeful he'dbe available for a quick meet-and-great. As it turned out,his schedule was wide open. We hung out for three hours.In part, experiences like this inspired me to begin writing
about wine. Similar encounters motivatedothers to trade their desk jobs for vineyardwork. Others have returned home and decidedto launch their own wineries.
That's what happened with Birk O'Hallo-ran, a self-described "wine geek and a comicbook nerd."O'Halloran fell in love with wine while
studying hotel administration at Cornell. Aftergraduation, he started working in the wine in-dustry -- first as an educator and retailer inColorado and New Jersey and later as a salesmanager for A.I. Selections, a popular im-porter in New York.Through it all, O'Halloran regularly trav-
eled to Napa Valley and developed friendshipsthere.In 2010, Birk O'Halloran casually told
Steve Matthiasson, a celebratedviticulturist, that he dreamedof making wine. Withoutpausing, Matthiasson offeredto secure some Chardonnay.
Upon hearing thisnews, Dan Petroski -- the wine-maker who makes some of Napa's best reds at Larkmeadand some of Napa's best whites at Massican -- offered tohelp O'Halloran figure it all out.So O'Halloran partnered with a buddy from college,
drained his savings account, and launched Iconic Wine.When it came time to figure out a wine label, O'Hallorandecided to combine his two passions by hiring an artist toadorn his wine with a superhero fit for a comic book.Brook Smith, a business owner in Kentucky, has a sim-
ilar story.A passionate gourmand who co-owns Louisville's top
restaurant, 610 Magnolia, Smith has always loved wine.That's why, 14 years ago, he traveled to Napa Valley withhis wife to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary.While there, the two linked up with Suzie and Paul
Frank, the founders of Gemstone Vineyard. The fourformed a lifelong friendship, so the Smiths began visitingNapa Valley with increasing frequency. They quickly con-nected with a host of industry insiders and grew especiallyclose to Frank and Kathy Dotzler, the proprietors of Out-post Wines.The Dotzlers, in turn, introduced Smith to their wine-
maker, Thomas Rivers Brown. The two men hit it off. Soin 2010, Brown agreed to take on another project andhelped Smith launch Post Parade Wines. The name cele-brates the moment when thoroughbred horses walk ontothe racetrack. It's fitting, considering that the project washatched while traveling between Napa Valley and Ken-tucky.These stories are romantic, to be sure. But they're hardly
unique.

Ex-CBS JournalistCries Foul Play...
The Blaze andOliver Darcy tella chilling story
of one reporter’s failedattempts at reportingwhat she felt was accu-rate news..."FormerCBS News investiga-tive journalist SharylAttkisson took a swingat her former employerSunday and describedthe “chilling effect” shesays the Obama admin-istration has on report-ing.“I didn’t run into that
same kind of sentiment(at CBS) as I did in theObama administrationwhen I covered theBush administrationvery aggressively,” At-tkisson told “MediaBuzz” host HowardKurtz.“It never runs,” she
continued. “Or it diesthe death of athousand cuts,as some ofus say. If
it’s something theydon’t want it will bechanged and revisedand shortened and al-tered so much that it’s ashadow of its formerself if it does air.”Attkisson, who had
been active in coveringthe aftermath of theBenghazi terror attacksand the Fast and Furi-ous scandal, abruptlyannounced she had re-signed from CBS Newslast month. Accordingto Politico, sources saidAttkisson had grownincreasingly frustratedby what she perceivedas a liberal bias at CBSNews.In her Fox News in-
terview, Attkisson de-scribed what she says isa “chilling effect” theObama administrationhas on reporters.
“There is pres-sure coming tobear on jour-nalists for justdoing their jobin ways thathave nevercome to bearbefore,” shesaid. “Now
there’ve always beentensions, there have al-ways been calls fromthe White House underany administration I as-sume, when they don’tlike a particular story.”“…designed to have

Dear EarthTalk:Is the gray wolf still
endangered in theUnited States and how
successful have re-introduction ef-forts been? ~ Loren Renquist, Salem, OR
The gray wolf is still considered “threatened” under theEndangered Species Act (ESA). But a June 2013 proposalby the Obama administration to“delist” the animals—save for asmall struggling population of Mex-ican gray wolves in Arizona andNew Mexico—could change that iffinalized later this year.
Gray wolves were added to theEndangered Species List in 1975after being wiped out across the con-tiguous 48 states by government-sponsored trapping and poisoningprograms. Thanks to protectionsunder the ESA, populations havesince bounced back nicely in twoout of the three regions where pro-tections and reintroduction pro-grams were initiated. In the GreatLakes, wolf populations reboundedfrom just a few hundred individualsin the 1970s to over 5,000 today, ex-panding their range from Minnesotato Wisconsin and Michigan. In theNorthern Rockies, natural migrationfrom Canada and reintroductions inYellowstone National Park and central Idaho have resultedin some 1,700 gray wolves now roaming across Idaho,Montana, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon.“Despite these substantial gains, the job of wolf recov-
ery is far from over,” reports the Center for Biological Di-versity (CBD). “Wolves need connected populations forgenetic sustainability, and natural ecosystems need wolves;yet today wolves occupy less than five percent of their his-
toric range.” That’s why CBD has joined a chorus of voicesin urging the federal government to continue protectinggray wolves under the ESA. The U.S. government had been scaling back wolf pro-
tections in recent years, so animal advocates weren’t sur-prised to see the Obama administration’s proposal. “InApril 2011 Congress attached a rider to a must-pass budgetbill that stripped Endangered Species Act protections fromwolves in all of Montana and Idaho, the eastern third of
Washington and Oregon, and a small portion of northernUtah—an unprecedented action that, for the first time inthe history of the Act, removed a species from the endan-gered list by political fiat instead of science,” says CBD,adding that wolves were subsequently delisted in Wyomingand the Great Lakes. “Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Min-nesota and Wisconsin have begun public wolf huntingand/or trapping, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
cooperating with state agencies, is expanding its programof trapping, radio-collaring and releasing, then aerial gun-ning the pack-mates of these collared wolves—a programthat…had been limited to those that preyed on livestock.”CBD fears that such tactics will become common if ESAprotections are removed in the lower 48 states.
Luckily for the wolves, the Obama administration’sdelisting proposal suffered a setback this past Februarywhen an independent review panel concluded that the de-cision was based on insufficient science and should there-fore not be enacted. “The science used by the Fish andWildlife Service (USFWS) concerning genetics and taxon-omy of wolves was preliminary and currently not the bestavailable science,” reported panel member Steven Court-ney, a scientist at UC Santa Barbara.The review panel finding has opened a new public com-
ment period on a proposal that has already generated morethan a million comments. A final decision on the delistingproposal is expected by June.

worked in Hollywood foryears...you will NEVER go farin Hollywood with a name likePenis van Lesbian! I'm tellingyou, you will HAVE TOchange your name or I will notbe able to represent you."
"So be it! I guess we will not do businesstogether," the guy said and he left the agent'soffice.
FIVE YEARS LATER......The
agent opens an envelope sent to his office.Inside the envelope is a letter and a checkfor $50,000. The agent is awe-struck, whowould possibly send him $50,000? He reads
the letter enclosed...
Dear Sir,Five years ago, I came into your office wanting to be- come an actor in Hollywood, you told me I needed tochange my name. Determined to make it with my God-given birth name, I refused.You told me I would never make it in Hollywood witha name like Penis van Lesbian. After I left your office,I thought about what you said. I de cided you wereright. I had to change my name. I had too much prideto return to your office, so I signed with another agent.I would never have made it without changing my name,so the enclosed check is a token of my appreciation.Thank you for your advice.
Sincerely,Dick van Dyke

Michael Zak | AOL Autos tells us thatafter the tax man leaves..."Used carswill sell for much lower prices next
month and into the summer.Used cars across five different segments will
soon get much cheaper, according to data fromBlack Book. This means that if you're in the mar-ket for one of these types of vehicles,you may want to hold off shoppinguntil late spring or summer.The period between February and
April has been known as the "tax-buy-ing" season in the used-car market be-cause many Americans use their taxrefund checks from Uncle Sam towarda new used vehicle. Black Book hasbeen tracking this trend over the pastcouple of years and discovered thatused-car values tend to hold steady oreven increase during this period, as themarket experiences higher than aver-age demand. Then, as the season ends,values drop rather rapidly.In other words, used cars will be no-
ticeably cheaper starting in May andcontinuing through July.Black Book expects the cycle to con-
tinue in 2014. According to the com-pany's research, used vehicles in theentry mid-size car, full-size car, full-
size crossover, upper mid-size car and compactcar segments will experience noticeable declinesin value starting in the late spring.As an example, the average price for a used
entry-level car in April is currently $10,741.Black Book expects the average car in that seg-ment to begin declining in value in May, eventu-
ally dropping 5.9 percent in value by July. Thiswill bring the average price down to $10,107.Other segments will experience similar declines,with full-size cars dropping 4.2 percent, full-sizecrossovers dropping 3.6 percent, upper mid-sizecars dropping 3.5 percent and compact car pricesdeclining 3.4 percent.
As Demand Tapers At the End Of Tax-Refund Season, Car Values Will Drop In Kind
NASCAR team owner RickHendrick loves buyingfirst-built Chevrolet mod-
els for charity. He paid $1 millionto buy the first production 2014Corvette Stingray Convertible and$650,000 to get the first 2014Chevy Camaro Z/28.Hendrick's latest purchase hap-
pened at the Barrett-Jackson auc-
tion in Palm Beach where he gotinto a bidding war to pay $1 mil-lion to get the first 2015 CorvetteZ06. The bidding came quick withthe car reaching $100,000 within 3seconds and hitting $500,000 inabout 35 seconds.The money from the sale was do-
The Home Affordable Refinance Program,better known by the acronym “HARP,” isperhaps the most publicized and media-
hyped mortgage program in existence. Unfortu-nately, even its current revamped “2.0” programstill only helps roughly 5% of American home-
owners. The other 95% get no help from thisgovernment sponsored refinance program. Butthat may soon change.HARP was designed to help homeowners re-
finance even when they failed to meet the loanto value requirements. Homeowners who didn’thave enough equity or possibly even owed morethan the house was worth were supposed to ben-efit from this program. The idea was that thesehomeowners could take advantage of currentlow mortgage rates to refinance into a lower rateand payment, thereby helping them keep thehouse and avoid a foreclosure or short sale. Itsounded like a great idea and many homeowners
were excited by it.But there was one key limitation: In order to be
eligible for this government assisted program, theloan needed to be currently backed by one of thegovernment agencies of Fannie Mae or FreddieMac. Although these agencies securitize nearly
90% of mortgage loans origi-nated today, the ratios weresignificantly less during thehousing boom of 2001-2007.The majority of loans at thistime were backed by WallStreet firms that attempted tobypass the GSEs by securitiz-ing mortgage loans directly.At the time, these firms wereoffering lower rates and ask-ing for less documentationthan the GSEs. It seemed inthe consumer’s best interestselect one of these non-con-ventional lenders.Fast forward a couple years
to when housing prices col-lapsed, and it becomes a com-pletely different story.
Homeowners whose loans were backed by FannieMae and Freddie Mac were offered alifeline with the HARP program.Everyone else got no help at all.But that may now (finally) be
coming to a change. Con-gress is becoming increas-ingly serious aboutremoving the requirementthat a mortgage loan needsto be backed by Fannie orFreddie in order to be eli-gible for HARP. Now any-one who is still upside
down on their housewill finally be able torefinance. It alsomeans that those with less than 20% equitymight also be able to refinance without needingto incur the cost of mortgage insurance.There is likely to be at least one other change
to the program. Right now HARP is only able torefinance loans that were originated prior toJune 1, 2009. This requirement is not likely tochange. Rather, it’s expected to be expanded.Homeowners whose mortgages were originatedprior to this date and are not currently backed byFannie Mae or Freddie Mac will likely need todemonstrate a perfect pay history since that June2009 eligibility date. Those who fell behind ontheir mortgage due to hardship or selectivelyskipped payments while trying to get a loanmodification may find themselves still ineligiblefor government assistance under this program.The exact details are still not crystal clear, butexpect we should have them later this year.Until then, those who haven’t been able to refi-
nance due to lack of equity should remain onstandby. When the program goes live, they’ll wantto take action right away before rates go up anyfurther. Stay tuned for when this goes live…

Seal Beach Dog LawsSeal Beach city officials have seen an uptick in com-
plaints regarding violations of the City’s municipalcode by animal owners. Specifically, dogs on the
beach, dogs on the pier, unleashed dogs, and adherence tosanitary standards. In response, the police department andLong Beach Animal Care Services, the City’s animal con-trol provider, will proactively respond to these complaints. As these proactive responses begin, City staff would like
to remind residents and visitors of regulations specific tothese complaints. §9.05.090 of the Seal Beach MunicipalCode states that, “No person shall permit any dog or otheranimal owned or possessed by such person to be in or uponthe city beach.” Additionally, signage on the Seal BeachPier prohibits dogs on the pier. Animal owners who wishto enjoy beach activities with their pets are encouraged toutilize nearby Huntington Beach “Dog Beach” located inHuntington Beach on Pacific Coast Highway between Sea-point Ave. and 21st Street.§7.05.080 of the code mandates that “No cat owner or
dog owner shall fail or refuse to remove feces defecated bythe animal onto city property or onto private property notowned by such owner.” Pet owners are reminded to re-sponsibly pick up after their dogs in order to protect ourenvironment and ensure the enjoyment of the facilities byall human visitors.Dog owners are also encouraged to enjoy the City’s dog
park at Arbor Park. The dog park is located off of the northside of Lampson Avenue at Heather Street. The dog parkwas created so that responsible adults could allow dogs to
be without leashes within fenced areas. This opportunityis a great option for dog owners wishing to allow their dogsto run free, as §7.05.055 of the Seal Beach Municipal Codestates that, “No owner of a dog shall permit the animal tobe at large unless it is leashed.” Residents are reminded todisplay their pet license when utilizing the dog park. Non-residents can purchase a dog park license through LongBeach Animal Care Services (562.570-PETS).Lt. Mullins Quote: “The City of Seal Beach continues
to be a pet friendly community. Adherence to these restric-tions will enhance the safety and quality of life for our res-idents, visitors, and pets as well as protect our naturalenvironment.”
