THE LOCALNEWS

CHAPTER ONE: It's not enough toWin; it is what you do with the victory. Let's startat the beginning: while people, organizations,Fortune Tellers are trying to take credit for the re-cent election... bottom line is... we had particu-larly strong candidates successfully capturing

the hearts and minds of local voters. Congratu-lations to them for an enormous effort. I hopethey come to realize that what ever they are ledto believe... they won because of their cam-paigning. Fab Four... seize the moment -focus

on the agenda!Barbara Delgleize, a

household name in ourcommunity. Long timeresident, professional andtwo time office seeker,former Planning Commis-sioner. Barbara simplycampaigned - raised about$44,000 as of the last report-

ing period 10/18. Barbarawould like to WiFi HB...we say Why Not!Number 2 on hit parade list and still smiling ear

to ear is Mr. Mike Posey.First time candidate notonly had to campaignfor votes... had to cam-paign against the sooth-sayers... those whopontificated you justcan't support a first time can-didate... "they can't win"group of community play-ers. Mike, a serious businessexecutive, quiet, patient,

diligent and committed to the economic wellbeing of HB. Mikeproposed to establish a citizenbased Economic Development Task Force - WeSay... When Is The First Meeting? He raised, asof same date about $34,000.

And, Travis Allen -the Po-litical Consultant! Poseyhired his company for RoboCalls and Precinct Waking -definitely had a positive af-fect on Mike's outcome.

Right behind Mike is ourfavorite Irishman Billy O'-Connell. This is also Billys

3rd try; three times is a lucky charm forMr. O'Connell founder and leader of Col-lette's House. Billy was born in NYC... returnedto Ireland for a bit, served as a LA Sheriff too.Bill has a huge heart and appetite for hard work...look out HB. We're ready to roll up our sleeves

with him. He raised$126,000 ($100,000 a per-sonal loan to himself).

Bringing up the rear guardlike any experienced US Ma-rine would is Erik Peterson.Strong in voice and character,Erikwill be heard these nextfour years. Erik owns hisown company, served hiscommunity and country with

honor, recently as current Chair of our PlanningCommission. If Erikcalls out "follow-me" Ithink we are on board to do that for now. Heraised about $25,200.

CHAPTER TWO: So, how did they doit. Why did two incumbents lose? Who helped...who and what did not?

New and traditional in-fluencers this electioncycle. (1) The HB Cham-ber of Commerceformed a Political ActionCommittee. Risky busi-

ness if you lose...potentially REWARDING IFYOU WIN. They selected only three candidatesto fill four seats. Sizeable funding came from OCgroups interested in change in HB. Their threecandidates made it to the winners circle. (Bar-

bara, Billy and Mike Posey). We tip our hat tothe Chamber PAC because, like others, they

organized for success and rose to theoccasion. Congrats!

Police and Fire Associations arealways a player, mainly supportedby their membership...more for the purpose ofmaking sure those en-dorsed are pro PublicSafety and prove that theyput the safety of our com-

munity first. Two of the four candidates that won-were endorsed by them. (Barbara and Billy).

The new Community Forum. First and fore-most this effort contributed meaningfully to get-ting the vote out. They aired the issues, sometimescreated them in the sense of demanding trans-parency from the current office holders. Mostlynew people showing great passion for our com-munity. They developed serious challenges for thecandidates to address. Among the 5,000 or morenew members... they generally agreed on onething... let's make this a better community withmore open government. All of their members hadcombinations of candidates that included almostall of the 11 in the race... Generally, I think, theywere cumulatively against the incumbents seekingreelection. Like any group they had one or twowho just live their lives by bullying people... butthe group as a whole consistently over came thatand punched forward for more ideas, more cre-ativity, more open-ness, etc.

You Gotta Love Texas*** The City of Dallas , Texas passed an ordinance

stating that if a driver is pulled over by law enforcementand is not able to provide proof of Insurance, the car is

towed.To retrieve the car after being impounded,they must show proof of insurance to have thecar released. This has made it easy for the Cityof Dallas to remove uninsured cars. Shortlyafter the "No Insurance" ordinance was passed,the Dallas impound lots began to fill up andwere full after only nine days.

Over % of the impounded cars were drivenby undocumented people. Now, not only mustthey provide proof of insurance to have their carreleased, they have to pay for the cost of the tow, a $350fine, and $20 for every day their car is kept in the im-pound lot.

Guess what?Accident rates have gone down 47% and Dallas' solu-

tion gets uninsured drivers off the road WITHOUT mak-

ing them show proof of nationality.I Wonder how the Holder's US Justice Department

will get around this one.

A Few Interesting Facts Here!OMGCould It Be?

Coincidence? Think about it?For example: the eggs of the potato

bug hatch in 7 days; those of the ca-nary in 14 days; -those of the barnyardhen in 21 days; The eggs of ducks andgeese hatch in 28 days; those of themallard in 35 days; the eggs of the par-rot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.(Notice, they are all divisible by seven,

the number of days in a week!)Hmmthe wisdom is seen in the

making of an elephant. The four legsof this great beast all bend forward inthe same direction. No otherquadruped is so made. Hmm, howcome this animal would have a hugebody, too large to live on two legs. Forthis reason He gave it four fulcrums so

that it

can rise from the ground easily.The horse rises from the ground on

its two front legs first. A cow risesfrom the ground with its two hind legsfirst. How wise the Lord is in all Hisworks of creation!

Hmmwhat wisdom is revealed inarrangement of sections and segments,as well as in the number of grains.

-Each watermelon has an even num-ber of stripes on the rind.

-Each orange has an even number ofsegments.

-Each ear of corn has an even num-ber of rows.

-Each stalk of wheat hasan even number of grains.

-Every bunch of bananashas on its lowest row aneven number of bananas,

and each row decreasesby one, so that one

row has an evennumber and the

next row an oddnumber.

-The wavesof the sea roll inon shoretwenty-six tothe minute in allkinds of weather.-All grains are

found in even num-bers on the stalks, and

the Lord specified thirtyfold, sixty fold, and a hun-

dred fold all even numbers.Hmmwhat causes the flowers to

blossom at certain specified times dur-ing the day. Linnaeus, the greatbotanist, once said that if he had a con-servatory containing the right kind ofsoil, moisture and temperature, hecould tell the time of day or night bythe flowers that were open and those

that were closed!I HOPE YOU FIND THIS AS FAS-

CINATING AS I DID. May GodBless You In Ways You Never EvenDreamed. Be careful in sharing thisone!

Special Dia de LosMuertos ExhibitAttracts 500 toNewland House

An incredible exhibit about"The Day of the Dead"

brought this city's oldest resi-dence to life this previous HalloweenWeekend at the Newland House,19820 Beach Blvd., near Adams.

The historic setting is spectacularfor Artist George Newnam's creation,

which tastefully honors the annualevent, celebrated in Mexico and othercountries. "Dia de Los Muertos" is avery special time to salute the de-ceased with private altars and specialfood. Newnam's creative "CASA DELAS CALAVERAS" (House ofSkulls) display is perfect for its new

setting, where it's colorful artworkand multi-cultural music forge an at-mosphere you will never forget.

The former Chapman Universityfilm student uses his spiritual andartistic expression to illustrate thestory of Gloria and Jose, who died be-fore their marriage, then returned asspirits to enjoy the worldly pleasuresthey missed. Newnam's mother cre-ated the exquisite, huge papier-machefigurines, and two other friends

painted background artwork in fiveexhibits surrounded by recycled andredesigned cardboard voting booths.It looks like a Hollywood set--youhave to see it to believe it. As you gothrough the house, you'll see theskeleton couple visit a Fortune Teller,Chinatown, have their Mexican Wed-ding, go to a Reception and Honey-moon in Japan. You'll hear theappropriate music from Chinese toMexican to Japanese and more onyour journey. Outside, you can eventaste delicious foods from vendors.

Newnam, BFA, said his mom gavehim clay figurines of a skeleton cou-

ple in wedding attire when he was ateen. "I wondered, 'What if this cou-

ple could come back to life and do

everything they didn't get to do beforethey died,'" he said. "So, I started cre-

ating the fictional journey of Gloriaand Jose." My Mexican grandmothergave me an illustrated book on "TheDay of the Dead," which reallyhelped me understand the beauty andsignificance of honoring those whohave passed."

In 1989, Newnam created a popular

Haunted House in his Fountain Valleygarage. Ten years later, after the giftsfrom his mom and grandmother, hetransformed his exhibit to "Day of theDead." It became so popular it grewout of the garage and has appeared all

around Southern California from EastLos Angeles Library to La Plaza inLA to San Juan Capistrano Library toa 9-year run at the famous BowersMuseum in Santa Ana.

"We're really proud to bring this ac-claimed exhibit here," said KellyRivers of the HB Historical Society,which operates the Newland House."It means a lot to the community."

There were even actors in appropri-ate "Day of the Dead" outfits. FilmConsultant Darrell Rivers and hisgrandmother, Maureen, were dressedin their own festive spirit.

Really enjoying last night's amaz-ing attraction were HB MayorMatthew Harper, Mayor Pro Tem JoeShaw, Councilmember ConnieBoardman and many SoCal adultsand children. It was the talk of thetown. It's not scary but done in goodtaste, sensational colors and artisticsplendor. Bravo to all the artists in-volved and congratulations to theHBHS for hosting this educationaland memorable display.

It would be great to have this as apermanent attraction in the historicNewland House during the annual"Day of the Dead" celebrations. I'm

sure once you see it, you'll want to re-turn year after year.

Power Forthe PeopleT

he California Energy Commission approved the Application for Cer-tification for the Huntington Beach Energy Project in HuntingtonBeach, California, during a special business meeting today.

The Commission accepted the Revised Presiding Members Proposed De-cision (RPMPD) and Errata, issued October 9 and October 28, 2014 respec-tively, which found that the project will, as mitigated, have no significantimpacts on the environment and will comply with all applicable laws, or-dinances, regulations, and standards.

The 939-megawatt natural-gas fired project will be developed by AESSouthland Development, LLC. It will replace the older AES HuntingtonBeach Generating Station (HBGS). The new plant will be built within theexisting facility footprint. Demolition of the old plant and construction ofthe new one will be done in phases. The first unit is expected to be com-pleted in about 30 months.

As part of replacing the existing aging and inefficient plant, the one justapproved will provide needed reliable local generation and promote the in-tegration of renewable energy into Californias electricity system. Addi-tionally, it will reduce criteria pollutants for each megawatt-hour ofelectricity generated and use air-cooled condensers instead of once-throughcooling condensers that use ocean water.

The certification process for the Huntington Beach project began in June2012 when AES Southland Development submitted an Application for Cer-tification to the Energy Commission. The plant is projected to employ up

to 236 workers during peak construction and demolition periods and have33 permanent employees when operational

ost people like to get bargains on the things theybuy -- when merchants cut prices, they naturally

see it as a win. But among economists, the ideaof broadly falling prices is scary -- and the fear of thatphenomenon -- aka, deflation -- is on the rise. But evensmart investors sometimes wonder what the big deal is:Why is deflation such a huge threat to the economy?

In his most recent investment outlook, top bond-marketinvestor Bill Gross, who until his recent departure frominvestment firm PIMCO managed the largest bond fundin the world, said that the possibility of falling prices is

back. Comparing the current situation to what Americanssaw during the Great Depression and what Japan has ex-

perienced in its "lost decades" for its stock market since1990, Gross notes not only that the potential for defla-tionary pressure is scaring central bankers, but also thatthe evolution of the financial system has made it so that"deflation is no longer acceptable."

The Problem With Falling PricesOn its face, deflation sounds like it would be a long-

awaited windfall for the general public. After decades ofseeing prices on everything you need climb inexorably,deflation would bring those prices down. That would

make your savings go further, giving you more purchas-

ing power for every dollar you have in the bank. Espe-cially for those who live on fixed incomes, the prospectof finally getting some relief from the struggles of makingends meet on a limited budget sounds too good to be true.

Yet deflation leads to problems that would eventuallyadversely affect most ordinary Americans.

First, ongoing declines in prices change the incentivesfor consumers to buy things. If you expect the prices ofthe goods you need to go up -- whether we're talkingabout a new car or your pantry staples -- then you'll seekout bargains and buy those items as soon as you can af-ford them in order to avoid paying more later. As a result,a bit of inflationary pressure spurs spending and helpssupport the economy.

If prices start to fall regularly, then that incentive re-verses itself. Suddenly, if you're patient, you can savemoney on your next purchase. Indeed, Americans haveseen the impact of deflation in the prices of personal com-

puters, which have declined steadily for decades. Becausemost people need computers, they can't put off purchasesindefinitely. Yet the longer you wait, the better perform-ance you can get, often without paying any more for thenewer, higher-quality machines that constantly becomeavailable. So we do put off those purchases, and techmanufacturers feel the result.

When deflation becomes more common throughoutthe economy, the resulting drop in economic activityeventually forces businesses to cut back on their ex-

penses, laying off workers. Those workers have far lessincome to spend, which leads to layoffs elsewhere, cre-ating a downward spiral that leads to far fewer people in

any position to buy those cheaper goods.

The second big problem from deflation is how it affectsthose who are in debt. As prices fall, so too does the

amount of income that employers typically have to payto provide workers with the same purchasing power andstandard of living. Yet monthly payments on outstandingdebt remain the same, and so it becomes harder for work-ers to maintain their debt payments as those payments be-come a larger percentage of their overall income.

3 Tips to Protect Yourself From DeflationYou can expect central banks to fight deflation with

every tool at their disposal. But there are also some thingsyou can do with your own personal finances to reduce thedanger of deflation to you and your family.

Know that certain investments perform better dur-ing deflationary times: Bonds hold their value better,while physical assets like gold and other commodities areliable to get crushed. Stocks tend to deliver mixed results;

the best companies to invest in are those that have themarket power to maintain their prices even as overall de-flation cuts the prices of competing products.

Reduce your debt as quickly as possible when defla-tion strikes. That's true not only for your own personalfinances but also for the companies whose shares you

own, so make sure to watch closely the debt levels of

companies whose stocks you own, and think twice aboutinvesting in businesses that use leverage extensively to

boost their results.Consider keeping more cash on hand than usual.

Cash typically loses purchasing power over time, but dur-ing deflation, the reverse becomes true. Moreover, asasset prices get cheaper, you can use excess cash to pickup bargains with the expectation that eventually, central-

bank efforts will be successful and inflation will return.Even with the falling prices that accompany it, deflation

really isn't the best thing for ordinary people to experi-ence. With some precautionary measures, though, youcan reduce the havoc a deflationary spiral would wreakon your finances.

The MiamiHerald re-ported

last weekthat during a hearing with DEA investiga-tors on January 29th, Rodriguez admittedbuying PEDs from Tony Bosch, operatorof the now defunct Biogenesis anti-agingclinic in South Florida. This is the sameAlex Rodriguez who for two years hadvehemently denied any involvementwith Bosch or his clinic.

A-Rods admissions hardly came as asurprise to Major League Baseball. In

August of 2013 the league suspended Ro-driguez for 211 games based on written ev-idence linking him to Bosch. An arbitratorlater reduced the penalty to the entire 2014season. Rodriguez suspension was auto-matically lifted after the last out of theWorld Series, making him eligible to reportto the Yankees spring training camp inFebruary. What kind of reception A-Rodwill receive when he reports to Tampa re-mains to be seen. He has lied to anyone whowould listen and betrayed everyone who has everbelieved in him, not exactly the embodiment ofan ideal teammate. The Yankeesdont want him or his distrac-tions and MLB wishes hewould just disappear.

But the media will be tripping over themselvesto cover the Rodriguez soap opera-cum-reality

show that would make the Kar-dashians envious. A-Rod has

morphed into a cartooncharacter in life and a car-

icature of himself on thediamond. The for-

mer MVP is re-duced top r o v i d i n gfodder for

the New Yorktabloids and late

night talk shows.The best resolu-tion for the Yankees is

that A-Rod reports tospring training and despite his

best efforts, is declared physi-cally unable to play. He will re-ceive the $61 million remaining

on his contract and the teamwould be reimbursed by theirinsurance company. The Yan-kees only recourse at this point

is to make life as difficult as theycan for A-Rod, working

him as hard asthey can,f o r c i n g

him to join the rookies on the longest bus rides,and hoping he breaks down.

Rodriguez cousin, Yuri Sucart, who has servedA-Rod as confidant and gofer throughout hisMLB career, was among those indicted as a resultof the Biogenesis investigation. Sucart was amule for Biogenesis, providing A-Rod and otherswith their drugs. A-Rod claims to have paid hiscousin $900,000 for his silence. Sucarts trial isscheduled to begin on February 9 and prosecutorshave listed A-Rod as a witness. As a former pros-ecutor, Rodriguez isnt exactly the kind of wit-ness that would instill confidence in me whenpresenting my case to a jury.

For Rodriguez, the truth has always been what-ever serves his interest at the moment. Like thePilgrim in Kristoffersons song, what A-Rod saysis undoubtedly partly truth and partly fiction. Butgood luck to anyone who tries to discern the dif-ference between the two.

If you are involved in the Forum... you have togive Chris Epting credit for getting everybody tostay focused, Michael Daly and his moderators forbeing the modulating force behind the concept and

people like Moe... for stirring the pot without spew-ing hate. Who could forget the Troxell's... there tostir the pot also.

The Freedom From Taxes PAC... yup picked allFOUR WINNERS... This was unique to them.They were focused on not losing any of the fourseats up from grab. They did not take no for an an-swer... whenMike Posey was criticized for beingtoo new orErikwas jumped on because he chal-lenged density issues locally -they persevered withtheir Fab Four.Barbara,Mike Posey,Billy andErik... they believed in them and apparently thecommunity did also.

Finally... and you can't leave them off anylist of people or groups that had a hand... fin-

ger prints on the outcome... This did take avillage. The OC GOP was, perhaps instru-mental, in a complete sweep of seats simplybecause they took the two incumbents on andplayed a key role in convincing voters not toreturn them to office. Good or bad, agree ordisagree... Republican or Democrat... theyestablished a goal and single handily deliveredon their commitment to their constituentinvestors.

CHAPTER THREE: The Incum-bents... I state for the record that I respect Con-nie Boardman for the simple fact that she was

relentless in representing her

constituents... for delivering onher promise... no distractions.This crazy world we live in, at

least in America, is about checksand balances. I have no problem inConnie Boardman articulately ar-guing her point of view. It made forgood government. OK... Connieand Shaw committed political sui-cide. They gave the opposition allthe tools, all the issues - all the emo-tion to drum up a anti-incumbentcampaign. Had they waited just acouple of meetings... get through theelection cycle... they probably

would still be in office and bring up their (unfortu-nately) issues of Rent Control, Beach Edinger Cor-ridor Plan issues, etc.

Mr. Shaw should have gone away for a monthand not made those suicidal statements and postedthose pictures he was so proud of. Don't be mad at

the opposition... you made decisions that were usedagainst you to communicate with the voters. Joeyou fell into the Devin Dwyer hole. You are theMayor Pro Tem. Devin's over confidence and lack

of contact with the mind set of the voters at thattime cost him the Mayor-ship too!

CHAPTER FOUR: Tomorrow! (1) We'vehad over 20 years of appointments to City Com-missions and Boards those that reflected the ma-jority at the time. The committee system is asimportant in our community as it is in Congress.Let's appoint a new crop of engaged residents. (2)Who will lead in the future? Watch to see who theFab Four appoint as Planning Commissioners andother Boards! (3) Will the Fab Four get along? (4)Where do they agree...where do they disagree?

Who, what have I left off. Egos will dominateamong community members concerning whatthey did or did not do. The "I told you so.." syn-drome will continue for a while as we approachDecember 1, 2014 and the change of the guard.I have complete faith in the Fab Four to be theirown people, legislate as they campaigned anddisagree when they feel the necessity to makea point.

I am pound of this community for standing up.OK, only 32% of the electorate voted... weshould do better. I can remember one of my fewblogs on theForum tryingto excite peo-ple to vote andbeing criti-cized for say-ing theobvious. Well,

to the 68% of the registered votes who did notmake it to the polls... I wish you were on theforum.

Now, lets get to

work and repeal andfix a whole bunch ofsocial legislation thatwe have no businessmeddling with.

And, I would be re-miss in not congratu-lating Michael Gatesfor a very effectiveCity Attorney cam-paign. We will profileMike in the next edi-tion as he takes office. Jennifer, you know how we

feel about you. You gave us 18 good years. Nodoubt you will be a private practice consultant

soon making more money with less stress.

CHAPTER FIVE: The End or is it theBeginning! No one on their own is responsi-ble for the outcome of this election. It startedin Washington D.C. with a complete rejectionof the current polices in place and just simplytrickled down to home town America. Throwthe incumbents out and let's try somethingnew. Along the way several of us get braggingrights for... nothing less than being a partici-pant, some more significantly than others. Ihave full trust and confidence in the Fab Fouras truly dedicated HB fans.

Let them reach their level of comfort.

PLEASE, Barb, Mike, Billy and Erik... thereare effective and well thought out traditions inplace. Tampering with them will only come backand bite you and you know where if you take thatknee jerk reaction and take the spoils of war andmake it personal. Honor the rotation system.... I'veseen life here before we had it and it was all aboutpolitical spoils, favoritism and what's in it for me.Even 28 year political veteran Larry Agran lost inIrvine...Wow!

Dave GarofaloPublisher

Here is how simple life is: Most of us just want a safe, clean,

community with repaired sidewalks, good streets, few potholes,healthy tress where property values increase, our children andfamilies and businesses thrive. Anything above that we get alongthe way that we can afford... Great. We don't need to competefor anything accept a community in which we all want to stayand thrive.

Ferguson Protesters Want Police To Agree To Rules Of Engagement

ST. LOUIS -- A coalition of roughly 50 groups concerned about the fatal shooting ofMichael Brown on Wednesday asked police to agree to "rules of engagement" for the responseto the upcoming grand jury decision about the shooting and announced their own plans.

At a news conference in St.Louis, "Don't Shoot Coalition"members said they were offeringtraining in de-escalation and forlegal observers. They vowed tohave at least two safe spaces set upin each anticipated area of protestactivity, to offer sanctuary in housesof worship. And they said that hadbeen attempting, unsuccessfully sofar, to negotiate key elements withlocal and federal officials.

The group said police shouldvalue safety first, and agree to a

"de-militarized response" that would bar the use of armored vehicles, rubber bullets, riflesand tear gas.

The group is asking for advance notice of the public announcement of the decision, so thatthey can prepare. They are also asking police to respect the safe spaces and ensure protesters

can reach them.

A St. Louis County grand jury has been considering whether Ferguson Police Officer Dar-ren Wilson should face charges for the Aug. 9 shooting of the unarmed Brown, 18. St. LouisCounty Prosecuting Attorney Robert P. McCulloch said Tuesday night that the jury was still

hearing evidence, adding that he didn't expect a decision until mid- to late November.Coalition members said tensions were growing, fueled by three recent fatal police shootingsand long-term problems that include racial profiling, a lack of diversity and accountability inlaw enforcement, inequality and a lack of trust in police and the judicial system. The groupblamed police for escalating peaceful protests into violence, saying that given proper space,protesters have been self-policing.

People "are going to pour into the street," predicted Montague Simmons, chair of the Or-ganization of Black Struggle, and no amount of force will prevent that. But he said that thecoalition would engage in "peaceful, non-violent civil disobedience" in the tradition of Ma-hatma Gandhi and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and wanted police to use respect and anon-militarized approach to protesters.

Simmons said he expected Clayton and the Ferguson police station to be "natural gatheringareas" after the decision is announced. "Every injury, every bullet that flies, every drop ofteargas," he said, will be on the hands of elected officials if they fail to act.

In recent weeks, the group has also called for a special prosecutor to replace McCullochand recommended a series of reforms to the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division.

Spokesmen for the St. Louis County police and the Missouri Department of Public Safetydid not immediately return emails seeking comment on the group's requests.

Robert Moran, Inquirer Staff Writer

ACamden County man died Monday morning after being struck

by a one-pound tape measure that fell 50 stories from a high-riseunder construction in Jersey City, N.J., authorities said.

Gary Anderson, 58, of Somerdale, was delivering drywall to the down-town construction site about 8:40 a.m. when the tape measure fell offthe belt of a worker on the top of the building, said Carly Baldwin, JerseyCity public safety spokeswoman.

The tape measure "hit another piece of metal construction equipment15 feet off the ground, then ricocheted and hit this man in the head,"Baldwin said.

Anderson was not wearing a hard hat but had one inside his truck,which was parked on the construction site, where two residential towersare being built, Baldwin said.

He had stopped to lean into the open window of a vehicle to speak tosomeone. When he pulled his head out of the window, he was struck bythe tape measure and collapsed.

Baldwin said an official cause of death had not been released."Upon preliminary investigation, it appears to be a very tragic acci-

dent," Public Safety Director James Shea said in a statement.

The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration respondedto the scene and conducted interviews, Baldwin said.

Anderson worked for National Gypsum, a North Carolina company,according to police.

Man killed ByTape Measure

Falling 50 Stories

These taxes were all passed under the Affordable Care Act,aka Obamacare.

DUI Arrests Case Number:

N/A Details:The Hunting-ton Beach Police Depart-ment Traffic Unitconducted a DUI/DriversLicense checkpoint on Fri-day, November 7th atBeach Boulevard andSlater Avenue between thehours of 7:30 p.m. and 2:30a.m. Checkpoints are

placed in locations thathave the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrenceand provide the greatest safety for officers and the public.

DUI/Drivers License checkpoints have been shown to lower DUI deaths and in-juries. A major component of these checkpoints are the deterrent effects it has onthose who might drive drunk or drug impaired, bringing about more awareness and

encouraging everyone to use sober designated drivers.According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),checkpoints have provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUIenforcement strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every$1 spent. Ninety Percent of California drivers approve of checkpoints.

1431 Vehicles Screened8 Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFST) administered2 DUI-Alcohol suspects arrested11 Drivers cited for operating a vehicle unlicensed or while suspended/revoked3 Citations issued

The Huntington Beach Police Department will be conducting another DUI/Dri-vers License Checkpoint on Friday, December 19th, 2014, in our ongoing commit-ment to lowering deaths and injuries upon our streets and highways. The checkpointwas funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the Na-tional Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Report Drunk Drivers Call 9-1-1!

Dear EarthTalk: Ihear that many

school cafeterias havenutrition standards no bet-

tereven worsethan those offast food chains. What can be done about this?~ Betsy Edison, Nashville, TN

Americans have done a great job making sure that ourkids have something to eat at school regardless of socioe-conomic status, with the National School Lunch Programproviding low-cost or free lunches to upwards of 31 millionstudents at 92 percent ofU.S. public and privateschools.

But that doesnt meanthe food has been espe-cially nutritious, and pub-lic health experts say itsno wonder our kids aremore obese than everwhen we feed them trans

fats, salts and sodas forlunch. Kids get half theirdaily calories at school, sowhats for lunch there hasa big impact on health andlasting eating habits.

A 2008 analysis ofschool lunches by the In-stitute of Medicine (IOM)concluded that Americankids consume very fewfruits and vegetables intheir cafeteriaswith potatoes accounting for a third of allvegetables consumed. IOM also found that kids were eat-ing many refined grains and too much saturated fat andsodium. A 2009 study by USA Today found that meat usedby McDonalds and Burger King was tested for bacteriaand unsafe pathogens up to 10 times as much as meat

bound for U.S. school cafeterias.In response to these stark findings, along with vigorous

advocacy by First Lady Michelle Obama, things are start-ing to improve. In 2010, Congress voted to revamp the na-tions school lunch program by enacting the Healthy,Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA). The higher standards in

the new law seek to align school meals with the federal2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans by upping theavailability and portion sizes of fruits, vegetables andwhole grains (and requiring students to select a fruit or veg-etable), establishing calorie ranges, removing trans fats andlimiting sodium levels. The law also incentivizes schoolsto take part with generous meal reimbursement funds. Thenew standards went into effect in 2012 and have been

w o r k i n gtheir wayt h r o u g hschool dis-tricts fromc o a s t - t o -coast andgetting ravereviews inthe process.

R e -s e a r c h e r sfrom theH a r v a r dSchool ofP u b l i cHealth whoc o l l e c t e dplate wastedata amongmore than1,000 stu-

dents in four schools in urban, low-income school districtsboth before and after HHFKA took effect found that fruitselection increased 23 percent following implementation:Average per person fruit consumption was unchanged,said researchers, but because more students selected fruitoverall, more fruit was consumed post-implementation.

Also, per student vegetable consumption went up 16.2 per-cent.

But just because public health researchers think the pro-gram is going well doesnt mean Congress will keep itgoing. The Republican-dominated House of Representa-tives has included waivers for school lunch nutrition stan-

dards in its fiscal-year 2015 Agriculture Appropriationsbill. The provision would allow schools with a 6-monthnet loss of revenue to opt out of providing the healthiermeals outlined by the HHFKA, Dr. Jennifer Woo Baidalwrites in the New England Journal of Medicine. A deficitof any amount from any cause could allow schools to re-turn to the same meals that the IOM found in 2008 to benutritionally lacking. Consumers interested in protectingthe new nutritional standards should weigh in by calling,writing or e-mailing their Congressional representativesand speaking up for healthier kids.

Yesterday I had an appointment to see the urologist for aprostrate exam.

Of course I was a bit on edge because a lot of my friends have eithergone under the knife or had those pellets implanted.

The waiting room was filled with patients. As I approached thereceptionist's desk, I noticed that the receptionist was a large unfriendly

appearing woman who looked like a Sumo wrestler.

I gave her my name. In a very loud voice, the receptionist said,

"YES, I HAVE YOUR NAME HERE; YOU WANT TO SEETHE DOCTOR ABOUT POSSIBLE PROSTRATE RELATED

EVENTUAL IMPOTENCE, RIGHT?"

All patients in the waiting room snapped their headsaround to look at me.

But as usual, I recovered quickly, and in an equally loud voice replied,

NO, I'VE COME TO INQUIRE ABOUT A GENDER CHANGEOPERATION, BUT I DON'T WANT THE SAME DOCTOR

THAT DID YOURS.

The room erupted in applause! What a great day I had

OOPS, I Did It Again!

Wow!

Every industry develops its own slang mastering it brings people together as partof a group and makes communication

harder for outsiders to understand. Given the less-

than-sterling reputation that car salesmen haveamong many consumers, it should be no surprise

that they also have their own insider jargon.Much of the lingo is now finally coming to lightin one place thanks to an Ohio lawyer specializ-ing in 'lemon law' cases who keeps a dictionary

of the terms on hiswebsite.

According to Auto-motive News, the listis the ongoing project

of lawyer Ronald Bur-dge from Dayton,Ohio. The dictionaryreportedly startedabout 15 years agowhen Burdge obtainedit from a dealer's em-ployees as part of alawsuit. Since then,he's kept it up to date.

The lexicon variesfrom commonly un-derstood and innocu-

ous terms, including "low ball" and "tire kicker."Beater, iron, sled and toad are all words for a

worthless old jalopy.However, Burdge also lists jargon for some

lesser-known and often very unscrupulous acts.For example, the "five-finger close" happenswhen a sales manager hides a portion of a docu-ment with a hand to keep the buyer from noticingthat the final numbers aren't as discussed. Themove is somewhat related to "sealing the cus-tomer," which involves putting signed papers in

a sealed or even stapled envelope as a way to hidethings from buyers. There's also the "high pennyroll" where the finance computers increase pay-ment amounts to a higher number without chang-ing it by a full dollar to keep consumers fromcatching on.

Not everything is quite so negative, though. Forexample, most buyers might want to be known aswant a "chiseler" someone who is a hard nego-tiator. And one of the best terms on the list is a"gold balls" a person with a high down paymentand good credit. The whole dictionary goes intoeven deeper detail and is definitely worth brows-ing, even just for a laugh.
