Football Question: Pleasehelp me with this...

For me...everyday is grandparents,today, Sunday, September 9th isNational Grandparents Day. Since

I live it everyday...I do not need to be re-minded too often. And, I know it is thesame for all the grandparents involvedwith my grand children.I think every day I have an opportunity

to see my grand kids...is a day of celebra-tion. I never though I could love anyone as

much as I loved my own children... thenI discovered grandchildren. Wow...whata treat. And, you get to go home after theexperience...LOLWe can only hope that the feeling is

mutual with the children...at least someof the time...I remember my grand mother. I re-

member the stories, the amazement withher stories growing up. I recall what atreat it was to hear her stories and history.Best part living the moment over againand again living those memories throughmy role of a grandparent with my kids.National Grandparents Day, a secular

holiday, was first celebrated in the UnitedStates in 1978. It was through the lobby-

ing efforts of Marian McQuade of OakHill, West Virginia that the first Sundayafter Labor Day of each year be pro-claimed National Grandparents Day. Thestatute’s purpose is to honor grandpar-ents, give grandparents an opportunity toshow love for their children's childrenand to help children become aware ofstrength, information, and guidance olderpeople can offer.Sure their is the obvious positive mo-

ment...but also a sad one when only thememories are with us to celebrate. Butthis can be good too if the memories aretalked about.In any event...consider making Grand

Parent Day every day. It changed my life,keeps me focus with goals..I believekeeps me healthy and active andalive...and trust me there are two momentin my life that I live for.First, when you walk in their house

and they put their arms out, run up to youand say hi papa...and when you leave andthey come over and give you that specialhug and say buy papa.

On behalf of Sierra, Ownen andSage...Papa Dave.

National Grandparents DayLive It Every Day!

Guy Benson of Political Editor, Townhall.com broke the news.A well-placed Republican told sources that Oscar-winning director and actor Clint Eastwood

will travel to Tampa, Florida to attend Mitt Romney's nominating convention this week. Asthe news media scrambled to identify the so-called "mystery speaker" scheduled to address

GOP delegates some speculatedthat the iconic Hollywood fig-ure could fit the bill. Did Clint Eastwood make

Mitt Romney's day? I say ar e s o u n d i n gYES..because...had thisiconic Hollywood star readhis speech...from theTelePrompTer he is morethan comfortable with...itwould have been just that...apaid commercial. He spokefrom the heat...extemporane-ously...he made his pints as areal person...that's my storyand I am sticking to it.

Clint Was There

It’s probably the most famous quote of the 20thCentury.It was said by the first man on the moon, Neil

Armstrong, who died last week at the age of 82. Itwas heard by over 600 million listeners around theworld.As Armstrong stepped foot on the moon back in

1969, he uttered those famous words: “One smallstep for man, one giant leap for mankind.”What a remarkable group of ten words which sum up so much.Ed Note: Mr. Armstrong...you left your footprints on an entire generation. on a world and coun-

try hungry for achievement and above all on a program hungry for exploration, inquisitive beyondcomprehension and inquisitive enough to take contemporary technology to its fullest.

Ten words that changed the world

Summary of eRumor:A boycott of the ABC

television network is en-couraged because the execu-tives at ABC news are said tohave told reporters theycould not wear Americanflag lapel pins or any otherpatriotic insignia. Thenetwork said that ABCshould remain as neutralas possible.

The Truth:The terrorist attacks on

America of September 11,2001 resulted in a wave of patriotism that had not been seenin decades. The shared enthusiasm for the country and the

flag were strong and widespread. It created difficulties for reporters, however, who try to professionally

earn and keep people's trust by avoiding personal partisan displays whilereporting the news. It was not only ABC but many other media outlets who struggled with

trying to preserve their image as journalists while at the same time tryingto avoid seeming unpatriotic in the crisis. Associated Press writer David Bauder quoted Barbara Walters as saying

that ABC discouraged its reporters from wearing the flag because "...itmay confuse the audience." She was also quoted as saying that there wasconcern whether someone who decided not to wear a flag in the midst ofall the others might be viewed as less patriotic.I don't get it...do you!You are either all in..or you are not.

• Last year.....after the Packers / Bills game, Buffalo released quarterback Trent Edwards. • During the Packers / Eagles game, the Packers injured Philadelphia quarterback

Kevin Kolb. Philadelphia then had to playbackup quarterback Michael Vick. • During a playoff game against the Eagles,the Packers injured Michael Vick and an-other backup was needed.• After the Packers / Cowboys game, Dallasfired Wade Phillips and most of his staff. • After the Packers / Vikings game, Min-nesota fired Brad Childress and most of hisstaff. • Four weeks after losing to the Packers, the49er's coach Mike Singletary and most of

his staff were fired and replaced.• During the Bears Playoff game, the Packersinjured Jay Cutler and backup Todd Collinsforcing the Bears to go with 3rd stringquarterback Caleb Hanie.

So here's the question..................

Is it just me, or did the Packers createmore jobs last year than the currentadministration in Washington?

There's a reason more than 45,000 peo-ple from around the World climbedaboard the USS Iowa within the first

month at its new home (Berth 87). You've gotto see its astonishing outside, interesting in-side and learn the amazing history of thisWorld War II-Korea-Cold War veteran bat-tleship to really appreciate the still sturdy, 70-year-old warrior's significance.Inside its Theatre, you'll see an incredible

computer-generated film that brings the com-bat veteran to life. Wargaming.net magnifi-cently recreated the ship's role in supportingAmerican landings at Okinawa, Japan in1945. The company also is developing aGame Room where visitors can guide war-planes to defend the Iowa from enemies.Walking through the ship, you'll see fas-

cinating exhibits and understand why it'snicknamed, "The Battleshipof the Presidents" (FDR,Reagan, Bush). During theSecond World War, the sen-ior Bush was a Navy pilot,who said when he lookedd o w nand sawt h eIowa, it gave he and his fel-low flyers confidence intheir missions. It's interest-ing to see the bathtub for thedisabled FDR, when he wason his way to Tehran to meetwith Stalin and Churchill.You'll stand in awe along-

side the 16-inch guns thatcould send shells 24 milesaway to destroy enemyports, trains, bridges andprotect troops under attack.Each gun could fire tworounds per minute. Alsonicknamed, "The Big Stick,"the vessel had the most de-structive guns on any Amer-ican warship. "The Iowacould lay out more ordi-nance in 1 1/2 hours of firingthan three waves of planesfrom aircraft carriers and pi-lots couldn't be shot down," explained DaveWay, the friendly Curator for the non-profitPacific Battleship Center. For the past 10years, the Iowa, which was launched in1942 and decommissioned in 1990, wasresting in a Moth Ball Fleet in Suisun Bay,east of San Francisco. The Battleship Centerwas awarded custody of it in 2011. It arrivedin its new berth at the Port of Los Angelesin June of 2012.Way, a HB resident, said during the Ko-

rean War, the Iowa fired 4,500 shells, twiceas many as she did in WWII. He said that,although unlikely, "because of the Iowa'sguns, she technically could be recalled toaction until 2020, if needed." Onboard, you'll see upclose the Captain's

Quarters; the "Top of the House" (whereperiscopes and lookout holes helped guideand protect the ship during battles); theWardroom (where the officers ate and BobHope and Ed Sullivan once told stories); the18-inch steel bridge (where the captain wasstationed during battle); the Galley andMess (over 8,000 meals were served daily);a variety of impressive Weapons Systems,plus other fascinating areas of the ship.The Iowa, named after and supported by

the state of Iowa, is one of 49 battleships theUnited States has built since 1893. The

Iowa, the greatest fighting ship of its time,also is the name of a class of battleships, in-cluding the New Jersey, Missouri and Wis-consin. The Iowas were faster than previousbattleships and able to stay with aircraft car-rier task forces in WWII. Their anti-aircraftfirepower ensured carriers were not sunk.You'll see the armor around the ship that

protected it even when a Japanese ShoreBattery hit it, causing only a slight hand im-print size spot on the Forward Portion ofTurrett II. The impressive vessel that's al-most three football fields long, was not onlyheavily armored but fast, capable of travel-ing more than 33 knots (38-40 mph). It alsowas sometimes called, "The ArmoredOiler," because she could carry 2,400,000gallons of fuel, Way said, and refuel de-stroyers and frigates at sea.

You'll learn about Victory (sometimescalled "Vicky" or "Vickey"), the first Iowacommander's dog, who joined the ship in1943 and logged more than 200,000 milesat sea. The canine even befriended FDR onhis trip across the Atlantic.The Pacific Battleship Center eventually

would like to create a museum on land tohonor all battleships which played such acritical role in our nation's freedom. Wecongratulate the Center on what a wonder-ful job they've done so far and what theywill be doing once they get the necessary fi-nancial and volunteer support from the pub-lic and businesses.I could go on and on about the fascinating

ship and how it was modernized over theyears but you really need to grab your fam-ily and come down and see it for yourself.You'll be glad you did. If you have a validIowa Drivers License, you can board theship for free. It's open every day of the year,except Thanksgiving and Christmas. Youcan find out about tickets, parking, hours ofoperation, what you'll see, how you can vol-unteer, have a corporate party, and a lotmore at the website, http://www.pacificbat-tleship.com/. The ship is at 250 So. HarborBlvd., San Pedro; Berth 87, Port of Los An-geles. You can't miss it!

STEM (science, technology, engi-neering and math) activities that willreinforce and complement conceptslearned in school through fun, engag-ing projects 3) arts activities to in-spire children’s creativity. The Club’s CEO Tanya Hoxsie

says, “Our board and our staff all re-ally feel that bringing the Boys &Girls Club to Oak View is the rightthing for our community, the rightthing for the kids, and the right thingfor our organization. We’ve beenworking toward helping more fami-lies in northwest Huntington Beachfor a long time. We’ve been buildingstronger ties with this part of thecommunity through our Twilight Ed-

ucation Project’s growth this pastyear. Now, thanks to the new OakView Branch, we can do even moreto make a difference to the kids inour community who need the Clubthe most.”Boys & Girls Clubs of Huntington

Power of the People…Consent of theGoverned

By Syndicated Columnist A. [email protected]

President Obama’s decision to offer atwo year deferment to foreign nation-als living in the U.S. without docu-

mentation, has afforded individuals broughtto this country as children, an opportunity tosecure legal status. Some have viewed thisas a humane solution to the challenges fac-ing innocent victims of circumstance. Thesechildren, unlike their undocumented parents,can often live the lives their families

dreamed about when deciding to enter the U.S. with the intent tooverstay a visa or by crossing a border illegally. The Childrencan attend school and live, feel, and be like an American. Thatis, until they reach adulthood, then they too will feel the plight ofthe undocumented resident. For the children it can feel like an

act of betrayal or trickery. They know little elseother than being an American, yet they are not.The United States is a generous and compas-

sionate nation. Our laws were established toguarantee citizens ease of access to public serv-ices. Our laws were not devised to seek out oridentify interlopers gaining a system intended forlegal residents and citizens. Sociologists refer tothis as a “cultural lag” or a system in need of up-dating to reflect evolving views or events.This humane but antiquated system allows for

the children of foreign nationals to benefit fromAmerican infrastructure without much effort.We welcome them into our state funded pre-schools, public schools and colleges. We offerthem emergency medical care in private hospitals

and routine medical care through public or charity hospitals. Wetranslate our documents into their language and bill the Federalgovernment when they are unable to pay for services. We birththeir children born on American soil and gift them citizenship andin turn gift the undocumented parents even more access to publicservices. The parents, on behalf of their American born children,are entitled to public assistance, food assistance, medi-cal, andsubsidized housing assistance. Yes, we are a generous nation.America and Canada are the last bastions for this type of gen-

erosity. There are no other developed countries that offerbirthright citizenship to the children of undocumented residentsor even legal residents. The parents must be naturalized citizensin order for their children to be citizens. In Australia and New Zealand, you must be a citizen or perma-

nent resident to attend public schools. Both countries are tied for1st place in the Education Index, which measures a nation’s lit-eracy rate, an indicator for a high quality of life and a necessaryskill in a developed country. America is placed at 27th. Australiaand New Zealand, like the United States and most, if not all, de-veloped countries, tie residency visas to skill and education.America is the only developed nation to habitually offer amnestyto unskilled, undocumented foreign nationals while strictly ad-hering to immigration laws for those attempting to enter our coun-try legally. The unskilled versus skilled immigrant has thusbecome grotesquely lopsided.America is the only developed nation with a rapidly shifting

demographics based not on immigration but on illegal immigra-tion. That this poses no concern to our government should be ofgrave concern to citizens. Our federal government has becomeso complacent that America is witnessing foreign nationalsmarching in our streets to demand their “rights” be honored. Theyare demanding the full rights that citizenship provides. They aredemanding we set aside our immigration laws. They are demand-ing we gift them the Amer-ican dream they came insearch of. They are de-manding this on the eveof Obama’s amnesty.Our ambivalence has em-powered them. Like theirchildren, they believethey are Americans by theact of living in America.We have indeed cheap-ened ourselves. Americais no longer a collective ideal but a means to an individual needat the expense of another.Living in the margins of society can rob one of dignity. Work-

ing illegally, driving without a license, fearing discovery is noway to live. Gifting citizenship to people demanding it is no wayto maintain a sovereign nation. The Undocubus: Immigrants ridefor Freedom movement is touring six States while declaring theirundocumented status and demanding immigration reform. Whatthey are asking is that we give up our sovereignty, our right to es-tablish and enforce laws. Our government appears to be in agree-ment with them as Obama seeks new ways to accommodate andsatisfy what he views as his newest constituency. America mustonly rule by the will of the people and consent of the governednot by executive orders! “The most common way people give uptheir power is by thinking they don’t have any” (Alice Walker,Pulitzer Prize recipient).

Spending time with my friends al-ways turns political at one pointor another. Sometimes it gets

pretty heated and contentious, othertimes we are able to find commonground on some issues. A recent con-versation was one of those "commonground" days. Whether it was a Demo-crat, Republican, Libertarian or Inde-

pendent asked their opinion, we all agreed on twostructural changes that need to be made to better our po-litical system; set term limits for all levels of governmentand limiting political donations.Setting Term Limits For All Levels of

Government:For the most part, politics was not a career

of early American politicians. It was a civicduty that people took on for a few years andthen went back to their farms, businesses, lawfirms or mills. Political machines (local partyvoting infrastructure, redistricting power,media contacts, etc.) of incumbents make itvery difficult to remove them from office.Lobbyists and big-money campaign contrib-utors usually direct their efforts at those inpower, making it difficult for a new candidateto get off the ground. Politicians are lesslikely to be focused on special interests andpork-barrel spending if they cannot stay in office indefi-nitely. There is less chance for corruption of governmentofficials if time in office is limited; new politicians areless likely to have the knowledge to exploit the system forpersonal gain and are more skeptical of lobbyists & spe-cial interests. Politicians with a short and defined term ofoffice are more likely to ignore politics and media criti-cism to target what's best for the country, and they canwork to establish tangible accomplishments that will buildon their legacy.

Limiting Political Donations:This means eliminating the "soft money" from politics

and relying on only "hard money" donations and equallydistributed public financing. This idea that corporationsor unions are people has been falsely created by thelawyers from those entities that have the money to ma-nipulate, in this case common sense. Corporations andUnions are groups of people with differing cultures, reli-gions, ethnicities and yes... political affiliations. The ar-gument most used to support "soft money" is the

argument referenc-ing "Free Speech".Freedom of Speechis a right given tous all equally. Theinherent equality offree speech is justas important as thespeech itself.Equality of freespeech is dimin-ished when themessage has a larger

audience simply because he/she has more money. Moneycreates an inequality of free speech that contradicts theidea of "one person, one voice, one vote". Elections aren'tthe only place where "soft money" needs to be restruc-tured. Lobbying by definition is the practice of trying toinfluence the thinking of legislators or other public offi-cials for or against a specific cause. Influence is donewith words, corruptive influence is done with money.I am usually not the myopic type that thinks "things

were better in the good old days". I think the "good olddays" is different for all of us. What were the good olddays to my parents are different to what they are for meand I am convinced that there is a generation of peoplenow that will one day look back to today as the good olddays, but these are fundamental changes that the clockneeds to turned back on, sooner rather than later.As always, if you have any questions, comments or con-

cerns please send them to [email protected] bless you and God bless the United States of

America.

I do not support Measure Z because: We are contractually obligated to continue municipalbenefits anyhow. Enacting this measure will take away general funds already in need, andat the sacrifice of services we enjoy. Stay funds and still reduce bloated spending.

I oppose measure Z - I oppose measure Z because it will create/force an unnecessary fiscalcrisis in our city. The impact will be reduced services for all in our city. Stop the scare tactics.This is unacceptable.

I support Measure Z because it is an added property tax burden that only 2.3% of Californiacities have. Employee benefits should have to compete with all the other city needs in thebudgetary process.

Pensions have gotten out of control since this tax was approved. Citizens of HB shouldno longer be burdened with this tax. Pensions should be part of the General Fund justas other city expenses.

I am opposed to Measure Z. After 5 years of budget cutting, Measure Z will make it moredifficult for the city to fund the services we enjoy such as public safety, infrastructure,parks, and libraries.

I do not support Measure Z because the current state of the economy would be irreparablyimpacted. The City’s loss of $4.2 million will affect core services, i.e., infrastructure andpublic safety, which will be cut to its minimum levels in years.

I’m for it

I support Measure Z - it elevates the issue so all voters can see the challenge we havehad getting public employees to pay their full share. it will end our HB property ownerssubsidizing pension benefits.

I support the citizens of HB. If Measure Z passes, we'll have to cut over $4+ million fromcurrent Budget. Staff recommendations if it passes...will create dangerously low levelsof Public Safety coverage -we have smart, less political solutions..

Tax is unfair as property owners are not the only benefactors of police services. policecosts need to be from general fund. However,I prefer a phase-in 3-5 years providing timeto adjust budgets.

I support Z. It's time to end prohibition and the resulting profits to crime syndicates, andreplace this with regulated, taxable, sales.

I support Measure Z because: It relieves taxpayers from a tax that shouldn’t be. It shouldhave been done years ago or during the last charter review, but leaving it to our electedofficials has not got the job done.

ELECTION EDITIONPositions on Measure Z:

Revocation of a public safety retirement tax

At a July meeting, the Board ofTrustees voted to place a local ed-ucation funding measure on the

November ballot: Measure M. This fis-cally responsible plan to address the needsof local students and the community wasdeveloped after working with stakehold-ers, the Board of Trustees, and local com-munity organizations.Prepare Our Students for Four-Year

Universities and the 21st Century Work-force: The measure will support the needsof Orange Coast College, Golden WestCollege, and Coastline College students.Due to the rising cost of attending a publicuniversity in California, more local stu-dents are relying on Coast Colleges to helpthem save money—as much as $35,000—

as they pursue their four-year degree. Ourstudents will be better prepared forfour-year universities through the expan-sion of course opportunities in science,technology, engineering, and math(STEM). Additionally, Coast Colleges jobtraining and workforce preparation willkeep students competitive for high-skilljobs, which drive the local economy.

Support Active Military, Returning Veterans, and

the CommunityCoast Colleges currently serve more

than 18,000 active military service menand women, their families, and Veteransannually. The measure will allow CoastColleges to expand their Veteran services

and facilities to ensure that they receivethe support they need to complete their ed-ucation and enter the civilian workforce.Measure M will also enable Coast Col-leges to create and enhance existing pro-grams which cater to local businesses andthe senior community.

Repair and Upgrade Aging Classrooms

Many of the buildings on each of thecampuses were built in the 1960s whichrequire repair and upgrades for outdatedelectrical systems, wiring and equipmentfor computer technology and 2 internet ac-cess. Upgrades are also needed for careerand vocational classrooms, labs and equip-ment for 21st century jobs and careers.

The measure would fund the removal ofasbestos and repair decaying walls,drainage systems and leaking roofs, aswell as improve campus safety by in-stalling and repairing fire safety equip-ment: alarms, smoke detectors, sprinklers,emergency lighting and fire safety doors.

Responsible Fiscal Planning

The bond includes strong fiscal accounta-bility: public expenditure plan, independentannual audits, independent citizens’ over-sight, and no money for administratorsalaries. Only $17.97/year per $100K of as-sessed property value would be needed tofund the $698 bond measure, which supportslocal education and the community.

Based on the reactions from the parties after anarbitration panel ruled last week that the Boun-tygate suspensions violated the NFL’s

Collective Bargaining Agreement, the averageperson might think they knew who won andwho lost. But this isn’t your average case.NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sus-

pended four players for periods ranging fromfour months to a year for allegedly engagingin a pay-for-injury scheme while all four weremembers of the New Orleans Saints in 2009.Goodell found that the players participated ina bounty program which paid bonuses for hitsthat injured an opponent.The suspensions were based on a determi-

nation that the payments to players violated asalary cap provision in the CBA. In its deci-sion, the panel said Special Master StephenBurbank has jurisdiction over such matters,not Goodell. The panel went on to say that al-though Goodell could not punish the playersfor salary cap violations, he does have the au-thority to punish them for conduct detrimentalto the game. The decision was welcome news to the

players, all of whom were immediately rein-stated, making them eligible to play in lastweekend’s season-opening games. But the question oneveryone’s mind is, for how long? The panel’s decision

is based on a technicality, meaning it is less about in-nocence than a reprieve. In a release issued shortly after

the decision was an-nounced, the leagueadopted a stridenttone, suggesting thatthe commissionerwould revisit the issueto determine whatpunishment would beimposed. But eventhough the players’victory may be hollowand short-lived, thatdoesn’t mean it’s in-significant.Whether the punish-

ment handed down bythe league is based onone section of theCBA or another mayappear to be irrelevant.After all, a suspensionby any definition is asuspension. But makeno mistake, regardless

of how Goodell elects toproceed, the panel handed the commissioner a resound-ing defeat, even while it affirmed his authority to pro-

ceed in another direction. The players and the NFLPAhave long maintained that Goodell deems himself to beomnipotent, acting as judge, jury and executioner onall matters related to player discipline. According to some observers, Goodell’s role in

Bountygate is itself an example of his lust for power.Rather than allow one of his lieutenants in the leagueoffice, Art Shell or Ted Cottrell, both of whom have ju-risdiction over on-field infractions, to sit in judgmentof the players, Goodell elected to exert his own powersas commissioner. In hindsight, the move was a mis-calculation, resulting in an embarrassing setback. As Yogi Berra famously said, “it ‘aint over ‘till it’s

over,” a phrase that applies as much to legal proceed-ings as it does to sports. Short-term winners can be-come long-term losers and vice versa. Such may bethe case in Bountygate.

Peg Perego USA Inc., has recalled about223,000 strollers dueto a risk of entrapment

and strangulation. A six-month old baby boy fromTarzana died of strangulationafter his head was trappedbetween the seat and the trayof his Peg Perego stroller in2004. Another baby, a seven–month-old girl from NewYork, NY, Nearly strangledwhen her head becametrapped between the seat andthe tray of her stroller in2006.Entrapment and strangula-

tion can occur, especially toinfants younger than 12months of age, when a child isnot harnessed. An infant canpass through the opening between the seat and theseat bottom, but his/herhead and neck can becomeentrapped by the tray. In-fants that become entrappedat the neck are at risk of

strangulation. The recall involves two differentolder versions of thePeg Perego strollers.Venezia and Pliko-P3manufactured be-tween January 2004and September 2007,in a variety of colors.They were manufac-tured prior to 2008voluntary industrystandard which ad-dresses the height ifthe opening betweenthe stroller’s tray andthe seat bottom. Thevoluntary standardrequires larger strolleropenings that preventinfant entrapment andstrangulation hazards.

Only strollers that have a child tray with one

cup holder arepart of this re-call. Strollerswith a bumperbar in front ofthe child or a tray with two cup holders are notincluded in this recall. The strollers were sold atvarious retailers nationwide, including Babies RUs and Buy Buy Baby from January 2004through September 2010 for between $270 and$330 for the Pliko P-3 stroller and between $350and $450 for the Venezia stroller. They weremanufactured in Italy.Consumers should immediately stop using the

recalled strollers and contact the firm for a freerepair kit. Do not return the stroller to the retail-ers as they will not be able to provide the repairkit. For additional information call Peg Peregoat (888) 734-6020 anytime or visit the com-pany’s website at ww.PegPeregoUSA.comCPSC and Perego warn consumers that thesestrollers may be available on the secondhand

market in thrift stores or atyard sales. Consumersshould not buy or sell theserecalled strollers until therepair kit is installed.

what’s hot in the green-friendly sunscreen departmentnowadays? ~ Elaine Mayer, Ocean City, MD

Most of us assume that all we need do to prevent sun-burns and skin cancer from exposure to the sun is toslather on any of the widely avail-able sunscreens on the markettoday. But the non-profit Environ-mental Working Group (EWG)points out that this may not be thecase, and that consumers should becareful about which sunscreensthey trust for themselves and, evenmore important, for their kids.According to EWG, some re-

searchers have detected an in-creased risk of melanoma skincancer among sunscreen users. “Noone knows the cause, but scientistsspeculate that sunscreen users stayout in the sun longer and absorbmore radiation overall,” reportsEWG. Scientists also suspect, saysEWG, that free radicals, which getreleased as sunscreen chemicalsbreak down in sunlight, may beplaying a role.Most sunscreens screen out some of the ultraviolet B

(UVB) rays from the sun that lead to visible sun burns,but many do not protect against the potentially moredamaging ultraviolet A (UVA) rays that penetrate deeperinto the skin and may facilitate the development of skincancer later on, regardless of how high a Sunburn Pro-tection Factor (SPF) the sunscreen may have. Also,EWG warns that many common sunscreen ingredients

generate free radicals that can damage the body’s DNAand skin cells, accelerating skin aging and potentiallycausing skin cancer in the process.But just because some sunscreens can’t be trusted and

overexposure to the sun is unhealthy doesn’t mean stay-ing indoors all the time is a viable solution. Gettingsome sun is good for you, as the body converts it to Vi-tamin D, an essential nutrient that facilitates good healthand prevents a wide range of diseases.

So what’s a sun lover to do? The International Agencyfor Research on Cancer (IARC) recommends wearingprotective clothing, seeking shade, and timing outdoorplay to avoid peak sun. IARC adds that sunscreen stillhas a place in our lives to augment these other sun ex-posure minimization tactics.But which sunscreens do live up to EWG’s stringent

standards? The major choice is between chemical sun-screens that break down quickly, penetrate deep into the

skin and may disrupt the body’s hormone system, andmineral varieties that can contain potentially irritatingand damaging nano-scale particles.According to EWG, mineral sunscreens are the better

choice, as they protect against both UVB and UVA rays,remain effective longer and don’t contain as many dan-gerous substances. Some leading mineral-based optionscome from Alba Botanica, Beyond Coastal, ECO Log-ical Skin Care, Karen’s Botanicals, Kiss My Face,

Poofy Organics and Solar Sense, among others.For those who don’t like mineral based sun-

screens, which can be chalky and leave a whitefilm until washed off, EWG recommends sun-screens with avobenzone (three percent for thebest UVA protection) and without the notorioushormone disrupter oxybenzone. Some leadingnon-mineral choices are available from manufac-turers including Bull Frog, Ocean Potion, Sun-bow and Vichy.

How Does ThisStack up -HB?

Dave Rice, from the SanDiego Reader suggeststhere could be less smoke

and no mirrors..."The CaliforniaEnergy Commission is reviewinga proposal to build two new natu-ral gas power plants on the site oftwo similar existing plants inHuntington Beach that had beenretired but were returned to serv-ice in the wake of the emergencyshutdown of San Onofre NuclearGenerating Station, the newsservice Reuters reports.The new proposed electric gen-

erating unitswould pro-duce up to9 3 9megawa t t sof power, abit less thanhalf the ca-pacity lostwhen SanOnofre wentoffline. Theunits wouldalso use a“dry cool-ing” system,which would not require oceanwater to be cycled through them,a requirement of new CaliforniaAir Resources Board standards

that put nearly 17,000 megawattsof existing generating capacity injeopardy. The new plants wouldnearly double the generating ca-pacity of the Huntington Beachsite, which was initially shutteredbecause operator AES intends totransfer pollution credits to a newfacility set to open next year inthe City of Industry.Cost estimates disclosed so far

peg the price tag of the new facil-ity at $500-550 million, a sum en-ergy experts say is low and mayonly pay for one of the two pro-

posed units."Ed Note: So, I would think the

community would be joyous overthis -particularly SE HB reisdnets.

Restaurant wine programs are bet-ter than ever before.

Once upon a time, high-end restau-rants felt obligated to employ snooty sommeliers,most of whom pushed expensive, predictable winesthat were easily found at your local liquor store.Today, though, high-end restaurants are staffed

with hip sommeliers who are better described aswine educators, eager to discuss the interaction ofwine with food and share their recent discoveries.Most traditions associated with wine service re-

main, however.When dining virtually anywhere, your server will

formally present you with the bottle you’veordered, making sure the label isfacing upwards. Afteropening the wine,she’ll present youwith the cork. Fi-nally, she’ll pouryou a small taste ofthe wine and wait foryour approval.Knowing what to do

— and when it’s appropri-ate to reject a wine — canbe nerve-wracking. But itneedn’t be. Here’s all youneed to know.Checking the label is easy.

It’s presented simply to confirmthat the server has pulled the bot-tle you ordered — so check theproducer, variety, and vintage. Mis-takes can and do happen, especiallywhen restaurants are busy.Inspecting the cork is almost as

simple.

For starters, there’s no need to smell it. Instead,check to see if it’s streaked or drenched with wine.If it is, the wine might be heat-damaged, as heatcauses wine to expand and push against the cork. Butyou’ll need to smell the wine to make sure, as itcould also mean that the bottle was overfilled. Alsocheck to see if the cork is crumbly. If the wine is rel-atively young, this could be a sign of improper stor-age — and the wine could be oxidized. Again, you’ll

need to smell the wine to make sure.Note that if a cork is covered in little

white crystals that look like sugar,there’s nothing to worry about. It’ssimply tartaric acid, a naturalbyproduct of wine, and those crys-tals are tasteless, odorless, andharmless.

Analyzing the wine comesnext. So give the wine a swirlto help release its aromas andstick your nose in the glass.Most flaws can be detectedby your nose alone, butdon’t hesitate to also tastethe wine.

If the wine is affectedby TCA, or cork taint,the fruit will bemasked by aromasreminiscent of wetcardboard or adamp basement. A

2005 study by WineSpectator found that this flaw

impacts about one in 15 bottles.

If the wine has beenexposed to high tem-peratures or is oxidizedfrom poor storage, itwill likely seem flat,with muted aromas andminimal flavor. Some-times, oxidized winecan give off aromas of

caramel, candied almonds, and dried fruits.If you think your wine might be flawed, give your

glass to the server and solicit her opinion. If she’s fa-miliar with the wine, she’ll be able to let you knowif something is off. And if she’s not familiar with it,she’ll probably trust your judgment or have someonewith more expertise come to the table.If the wine is in good condition, tell your server.

She’ll then pour it for everyone at the table.Keep in mind that the taste isn’t poured to find out

if you like the wine. If it’s simply not to your liking,there’s a good chance the restaurant won’t take it back.That said, restaurants value customer service. So don’thesitate to explain to your server why you dislike thewine. The restaurant might replace the bottle.Of course, the best way to avoid ordering a wine you

won’t like is to chat with the sommelier or server be-forehand, to get a sense of what you should expect. Al-ternatively, you could find a wine that’s available bythe glass and ask your server for a small sample.Ordering wine at a restaurant is fun — it’s an op-

portunity to try unique wines and elevate your meal.So don’t let the pomp and circumstance of wineservice intimidate you.

Water and Wildlife...As Critical As All OfWater RelationshipsLast month I intro-

duced you to theOrange County

Water District’s(OCWD) operationsthat extend into theupper watershed ofthe Santa Ana Riverwith 465 acres of re-stored wetlandsabove Prado Dam in

Riverside County and how that benefits residents all the wayto Huntington Beach.Prado Dam is ownedand operated by theU.S. Army Corps ofEngineers (Corps),and it plays an im-portant role in whathappens down-stream in OrangeCounty.

OCWD wasformed in 1933 bythe state legislatureto manage and pro-tect OrangeCounty’s groundwa-ter basin (Aquifer)from depletion andirreparable damage. TheDistrict, in order to ensure an adequate supply for all evenduring drought periods and rapid population growth, strivedto fulfill its mandate. The Santa Ana River is the main sourceof recharge for the groundwater basin, and consists primarilyof tertiary treated wastewater discharged from upstream. Theriver also receives storm flows, natural run-off, and risinggroundwater, especially during winter months.

Above-average rainfall from 1937 to 1944 yielded boun-tiful runoff for natural recharge. In fact, some of the heaviestrain ever recorded occurred in 1938. A storm hit February27th and did not subside until five days later. Ten inches fellon the fourth day alone, at times measuring two inches anhour. Tragically, roads and bridges washed out and 19 peo-ple perished.By 1941 the Prado Dam was completed, primarily for

flood control. Historically, storm flows from the Santa AnaRiver had been lost to the ocean because flood control tookprecedence over water conservation. To lower the water poolbehind the dam, the Corps would release water that would

rush past the District’sdiversion channel andout to sea.A landmark agree-

ment in 1995 betweenOCWD, the Corps, andthe U.S. Fish andWildlife Service, raisedthe water conservationlevel behind PradoDam, nearly doublingthe amount of valuablewater that can be storedbehind the dam. Theagreement between the

agencies was theculmination ofyears of cooper-ative efforts toenhance thewater conserva-tion and envi-r o n m e n t a lvalues of PradoBasin. PradoDam is the pri-

mary flood control facil-ity on the Santa Ana River,and upstream the largest riparian habitat in Southern Cali-fornia rich in plant and animal life including rare, threatenedand endangered species. The Corps had allowed water con-servation only as an incidental function of the dam. In simpleterms, the new agreement means that water releases areslower, consistent and done in cooperation with OCWD.Staff is now able to capture and percolate more water as itflows downstream. In the case of an extreme storm event,however, flood control remains the primary concern.Currently, the District is working with the Corps to pre-

pare a feasibility study to increase storm water capture atPrado that could provide almost an additional 900 milliongallons of water annually for recharge, enough water fornearly 250,000 people. The study would help save ratepay-ers in the region up to $24 million annually by avoiding thehigh cost of importing water from Northern California orthe Colorado River, while also reducing our dependence onthose sources. An important point not to be missed is thatincreasing the amount of water captured at Prado can be im-plemented without any costly construction or infrastructuremodifications.To learn more about OCWD’s innovative groundwater

management operations, go to www.OCWD.com, or betteryet plan to attend a tour of our facilities. Tour information isavailable on the website.

After rigorous preparation, Fountain Valley Regional Hospital (FVRH) has earned certi-fication by the California Children’s Services (CCS) for its 11-bed Pediatric ICU. CCScertification for the PICU completes the hospital’s entire range of acute neonatal and

pediatric services, including its already CCS-certified Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)and Pediatric Units.Now, CalOptima, Medi-Cal and Healthy Families patients and their physicians in western

Orange County have a local hospitalchoice for their sick and critically ill chil-dren who have a CCS eligible medicalcondition. Currently, there is only oneother CCS-certified Pediatric IntensiveCare Unit serving all of Orange County.Last year, a third of the hospital’s Pe-

diatric ICU admissions were transfersfrom other hospitals’ emergency depart-ments. Fountain Valley Regional Hospi-tal has streamlined systems for pediatricadmissions, including round-the-clockpediatric hospitalists and intensivists.These high level pediatric specialistswork closely with the hospital’s ER to

coordinate all aspects of inpatient care for sick and critically ill children in the hospital’s PICU.Emergency rooms in Orange County without PICUs are ill equipped to manage these patients.“CCS certification gives peace of mind to families knowing that their critically ill child who

has a CCS-eligible condition will not have to be transferred to another facility miles away. Theycan also rest assured that high standards of quality are being met in their own community atFountain Valley Regional Hospital,” notes Lisa Sperry RN, BSN, MHA, CCRN; Director ofPediatrics, NICU & PICU.For more information about Fountain Valley Regional Hospital’s pediatric services, visit

For the second time this year, Washingtonpoliticians are raising the cost of getting a

mortgage. This might confuse many readers whoare aware that mortgage rates are currently atrecord lows, but it’s true. The government raisedthe cost of getting a conventional mortgage backin January, and now they’re doing it again.Mortgage rates move up and down primarily on

fluctuations in bond prices. As the yield goesdown on specific mortgage-backed secu-rities, mortgage rates also movelower. Added tothis fluctuationbond price is

a hard cost which the banks pay to Fannie Maeor Freddie Mac to guarantee the loan. Known asthe “g-fee,” this is essentially the cost the bankspay to insure the loan and hedge against anylosses in the event of default. When Fannie andFreddie were public companies, this g-fee re-mained unchanged for decades. But as withmany other aspects of a government takeover,that has all changed.

When the government raised the g-fee inJanuary 2012, it was to pay for a temporary

extension of the payroll tax credit.And whenever the governmentraises a fee or tax, it never comesback down. The g-fee is notscheduled to come downwhen the payroll tax creditexpires. Quite the con-trary. The governmentjust announced thatthey will be increas-ing the g-fee yetagain.

No one seemed to noticethe last g-fee increase. For-tunately for Americanhomeowners mortgagebond yields dropped bymore than enough to coverthe increase that would

have been causedby the fee spike

alone. Otherwise mort-gage rates might be asmuch as 0.125% lowerright now. In otherwords, highly qualifiedhomeowners would beable to qualify for a 30year fixed at 3.375%instead of the current 3.5%.And if you get away with it once, why not do

it again? The government will be increasing theg-fee again on all loans delivered to Fannie andFreddie as of December 1, 2012. The increasewill be slightly less this time and only expectedto create an increase in rate of approximately0.05%. All in all, the increase of 0.175% equatesto a difference of slightly over $10 per monthfor every $100,000 financed. The only “silver lining” here is the reason

behind the move. The additional revenuegenerated by the g-fee increase opens thedoor to the re-privatization of these agenciesby shoring up their balance sheets and mak-ing them more attractive to future buyers.Once Fannie and Freddie are back out fromunder the government’s heavy thumb, per-haps homeowners will be able to get somereprieve from the overabundance of legisla-tive red-tape that has made the process of re-financing more difficult than it needs to befor many, and sometimes completely prohib-itive for others.

can travel at six times the speed ofsound, crashed into the PacificOcean Thursday before it could getup to speed because of a faulty part,according to the Air Force.Built, in part, by local aerospace

engineers at Boeing’s HuntingtonBeach plant, the revolutionary X-51A WaveRider is a jet-fueled, airbreathing hypersonic vehicle that can travel at speedsreaching 3,500 miles per hour, according to Boeing.Its success would hold significant promise for spaceexploration, spying and transportation.

"It is unfortunate that a problem with this subsystemcaused a termination before we could light the Scram-jet engine," said Charlie Brink, X-51A Program Man-ager for Air Force Research Laboratory, said in awritten release. "All our data showed we had createdthe right conditions for engine ignition and we werevery hopeful to meet our test objectives.
