The Surf City Comedy Club Celebratestheir First Year Of Laughs at EndlessFood and Fun at Edinger Ave.. at

Gothard. The Surf City Comedy Club, OrangeCounty’s newest comedy club, is located insideEndless Food & Fun, an entertainment and foodcomplex in Huntington Beach. Now that'sfunny...it is located inside a total entertainmenttvenue in the heart of the games, food and may-hem...and is becoming the heart and soul of livecomedy, passionate professional talents and acommitment to have each guest leave with asmile on their face, or a foot print on theirtooshy!Surf City Comedy Club is a comedy club

venue featuring a wide range of top-rated come-dians; conceived and run by comedians. For thepast year, the venue has held shows every Fri-day and Saturday night at 8PM. Visit: www.sur-fcitycomedyclub.com.Veteran comedians (and business partners)

Bob Perkell and Jeff Capri conceived the SurfCity Comedy Club, explain; “We noticed a needfor a local comedy club to accommodate theadults in the Huntington Beach and surroundingareas, so we built the club as a separate entityfrom the regular ‘kid’ services offered at End-less Food & Fun.”Surf City Comedy Club has become a “home

club” for some of America’s most popularcomics, as well as some rising new talent. Theshows are billed as “adult,” but most shows fallinto the “PG-13” to “light R” categories, whichmake for a pleasant and eclectic age mix of au-dience members. Bob and Jeff add, “Most com-edy club chains in the area, offer only special

event & theme-night comedy.We felt the needto bring back thea f f o r d a b l e ,three-act showformat that madecomedy clubs soprogressive inthe 1980’s.”Endless Food

and Fun is nowunder new man-agement, offer-ing an excitingnew and afford-able dinnermenu, which in-cludes burgers,appetizers anddrink specialsthat are priced tocomplement thecomedy club’salready “econ-omy” ticket priceof only $15 perperson.Surf City Comedy Club reservations and tick-

ets are available by calling 949.287.3161 or on-line. People who sign up on the comedy VIP listare offered considerable weekly discounts anddeals. www.surfcitycomedyclub.com.Surf City Comedy Club -7227 Edinger Av-

enue, Huntington Beach, CA 92647 The Local News attended a recent evening

at the Club...we did leave laughing. And, bythe way...the Menu was very reasonablypriced... service was far above average andwe had a several hours entertaining eventcoupled with three performers, all with differ-ent styles, each a crack up in their own right...Go, try it, laugh, eat and above all...take abreak from reality!

We believe and practice being fully involved with the communities we serve. This is essential in building good will, encouraging growth and above all staying connected in or back yard

Awoman from Los Angeles who waswhat some call a "tree hugging, lib-eral." In this lady's case she happened

to be an anti-hunter who subsequently pur-chased a piece of timberland in the rurla partof Washington State. There was a large treeon one of the highest points in the tract. Shewanted a good view of the natural splendor ofher land so she started to climb the big tree.As she neared the top she encountered a (localto the area" spotted owl that then, attackedher. In her haste to escape, the woman sliddown the tree to the ground and got manysplinters in her inner thigh area. In consider-able pain, she hurried to a local ER to see adoctor. She told him she was an environmen-talist, a registered Democrat, and an anti-hunter and how she came to get all thesplinters.The doctor listened to her story with great

patience and then told her to go wait in the ex-amining room and he would see if he couldhelp her. She sat and waited three hours be-fore the doctor reappeared. The angry womandemanded, "What took you so long?" He smiled and then told her, "Well, I had to

get permits from theEnvironmental Pro-tection Agency, theForest Service, andthe Bureau of LandManagement beforeI could remove old-growth timber froma 'recreationalarea' so close to awaste treatment fa-cility. I'm sorry, butdue to new nationalhealth care man-dates they turnedyou down."If anyone has a

moral to this storythat escapes me -please submit...

Your kids are becoming you......but your grand-children are perfect!

~Going out is good.. Coming home is better!~You forget names.... But it's OK because other

people forgot they even knew you!!!~You realize you're never going to be really good

at anything.... especially golf.~The things you used to care to do, you no longercare to do, but you really do care that you don't care

to do them anymore.~You sleep better on a lounge chairwith the TV blaring then in bed. It's

called "pre-sleep".~You miss the days when every-

thing worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch..~You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?"..."when?"... ???

~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.~You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!!

~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.~Everybody whispers.

~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet.... 2 of which you will never wear.~~~But Old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD

FRIENDS!!Stay well, "OLD FRIEND!" Send this on to other "Old Friends!" and let them laugh in AGREE-

MENT!!!It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived

Whatever, HAVE a Happy & Sane Rest of Your Life...

TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN, YET THEYOUNGEST YOU'LL EVER BE... SO-ENJOY THIS DAYWHILE IT LASTS

This is a very sad story about abear... Everybody should heed thewarnings not to feed wildlife be-

cause they become dependent and don'tforage for themselves any longer. It issuch a tragedy to see what has been doneto our country's wildlife. The photobelow captures a disturbing trend that isbeginning to affect U.S. wildlife.Animals that formerly were self-suffi-

cient are now showing signs of belongingto the current social fad of dependency.They have apparently learned to just sitand wait for the government to step inand provide for their care and sustenance. This photo is of a black bear in Mon-

tana turned "dependent" and not in cap-tivity. He's nicknamed Bearack. It isbelieved that he has become a camp-ground organizer.Mo

NEWPORT BEACH, CA--IF YOUEVER WANTED TO WORK ON RADIOOR IF YOU'RE ONE OF THE MORE

THAN 1.3 MILLION LISTENERS WHO CON-SIDER KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO PARTOF YOUR FAMILY, YOU NEED TO POP IN ANDGET ACQUAINTED WITH THEIR AMAZINGON AIR TEAM WHEN THEY BROADCASTTHEIR POPULAR "ON YOUR CORNER" IN ASOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COMMUNITYNEAR YOU.We recently happened to see two con-

summate pros--Diane Thompson andChris Sedens--broadcasting from Ex-plorOcean, home of the Newport Har-bor Nautical Museum in the Fun Zone.The exciting event, which featured sto-

ries and interviews about OrangeCounty's coastal communities, wasthe 16th "On Your Corner" that theaward-winning all news station has pro-duced, with more to come.Watching Diane and Chris perform

their magic as they read news, introducelive and taped segments and read lead-ins to advertisements was a joyful, in-spiring experience. You'll be awed byseeing their split-second timing, handsignals, courtesy cues and button punch-ing, including on the Sounder, a ma-chine that plays very familiar KNXmusical jingles for traffic, business re-ports, station IDs and the like.The anchor's clear, smooth radio

voices, flowing-almost flawless-deliv-ery, multi-tasking skills and incrediblefocus shows why these veteran broad-casters are two of the top in the busi-ness. Their chemistry was fascinating towitness as they made, what to the ob-server look like complicated work, fun.There's definitely no dozing off on air

in live radio. It's like a three ring circuswhere you have to be knowledgeable,focused and captivating so listeners willstay tuned. No boring voices allowed.Many listeners develop a real bond withKNX's anchors and reporters that theyhear daily.Seeing them in action, it's no wonder

that former Texan, Diane, and formerCanadian, Chris, are top notch. It's notonly their smooth professionalism butthey are both as likeable as can be. Chriseven asked me to pull up a chair so hecould show how the magic is done.Throughout the day, "On Your Cor-

ner" featured fabulous stories on Hunt-ington Beach's Surf Hall and Walk ofFame, Laguna's Festival of Arts, SealBeach's Naval Weapons Station, LeisureWorld, Fashion Island, Boeing, Ex-plorOcean (an interactive entertainmentand education center) and much more.There were even live interviews with

Newport Beach Mayor Keith Curry andHuntington Beach Mayor ConnieBoardman. Connie answered on airquestions from Chris and Diane on howthe city successfully cut spending, gotmajor new businesses to move there, theexcitement over a large new apartmentdevelopment, the anticipation of PacificCity (residential/commercial project) fi-

nally moving forward and the US Openof Surfing.It's great to have KNX "On the Cor-

ner" visit communities in the Southland.It gives both the businesses, listeners andbroadcasters a boost. "It was a delight tohave KNX here and we enjoyed threeweeks of publicity leading up to theevent," said Rita Redaelli Stenlund, Pres-ident of ExplorOcean. "People learnabout our museum and the incredibleplans we have for the future." For KNX,it gets the on air anchors and crew out ofthe studio, meeting with their listenersand advertisers, and it creates new adver-tising revenue and new listeners.But for many of us, the best part of it

all is getting to meet "the voices" we lis-ten to daily like Diane, Chris, JimThornton, Dick Helton, Vicky Mooreand Frank Mottek as well as the nicecrew behind the scene. The more hightech the World gets, the more we needthe human touch--the up-close, in-per-son relationship that is often missingtoday. My plaudits to Andy Ludlum,KNX Director of News Programming,who conceived the idea, Joe Guimond,Executive-Producer of "On Your Cor-ner," and the rest of the team for bring-ing radio "to life.""On Your Corner" is scheduled for

South Bay, San Fernando Valley, Fuller-ton, Palos Verdes/San Pedro, PomonaValley, Mission Viejo and elsewhere.Find out more at cbsLA.com/onyour-corner.

Their mission: Colette’s Children’s Homeprovides a safe and nurturing environment

Howard Galganov, Canadian Writer

and Conservatist Activist

Iwas just about to publish mylatest editorial as promised, onCanada’s Supreme Court Deci-

sion to suspend Freedom ofSpeech, in favor of promoting onelanguage over all others. THEN THE CONNECTICUT

SCHOOL-SHOOTING HAP-PENED.Next to lan-

guage issues inCanada, and afailed JudicialSystem in both ofour countries,what happened inC o n n e c t i c u ttakes precedence.I won’t waste

words describingmy feelings, be-cause how I feelabout as many as,and maybe morethan 26 peoplemurdered, in-cluding 18 chil-dren is indescribable.BUT I WILL TELL YOU WHY

IT HAPPENED:It didn’t happen because of the

so-called gun culture, or becauseof poor security at the school. Ithappened because of the modernLEFTIST culture that has removedall semblances of personal respon-sibility and respect.It happened because of the Hol-

lywood and television types wholecture the Conservatives on howpeople should live, while theymake FORTUNES producing ab-

solute FILTH in their movies andon television programs.It happened because of reality

television shows that demean hu-manity. And shows that make peo-ple laugh at the pain andhumiliation of others.It happened because multi-mil-

lionaire computer game producers

create UGLY digital scenarios thatpoison young minds with abjectand gratuitous violence.It happened because the school

system doesn’t teach values, andpromotes the idea that everythinggoes. And that all people are equalregardless of the truth. And that noone ever fails.It happened because LEFTISTS

won’t allow concerned and lovingparents to discipline their children,or raise their children the way theywant to.It happened because far too many

Liberals spend far too much timeand effort ridiculing and attackingpeople who want to live by the les-sons of the Bible and the Torah.In truth . . . this and other horri-

ble acts of violence happen, be-cause our society from ourentertainment industry, to schools,to the media, and our governments

have created the so-cial and culturalfoundation that iseating away at ourcountries like a can-cer.I know that what I

just wrote WILL in-flame those on theLEFT, and that’sOK, because if theydon’t like it . . . theycan ...along with thedemons of their owncreation. I want my old

country values back......when we stood in

school when an adult entered theroom. When we were really disci-plined for bad behavior. When wewere measured by our successesand failures. When not everyonehad to waste years of his or her lifein college studying basket weavinginstead of taking a trade course, orgoing to work right after finishinghigh school. When your mom wasa woman and your dad was a man.And when there weren't vulgar pa-rades extolling the “virtues” ofbeing gay. In Sadness... Howard Galganov.

February is Black History Month

Black History Month honors the contributionsand achievements of African Americans toAmerican life. First proposed in 1926, the orig-

inal Black History Week was celebrated in Februaryto commemorate the birthdays of two men who greatlyaffected the African American community: AbrahamLincoln (February 12) and Frederick Douglass (Feb-ruary 14), and was later expanded to anentire month. 2013 has special signifi-cance to Black History as it is the 150thanniversary of the EmancipationProclamation and the 50th anniversaryof the March on Washington. PresidentLincoln in particular has been in thespotlight lately, both in the recentaward-winning film and in these titlesavailable at the Library: • Emancipating Lincoln : The Procla-

WHO WASROBERT TODD LINCOLN?

He was the only child of Abe and Mary Lincolnto survive into adulthood - with his three broth-ers having died from illness at young ages. Be-

lieve it or not, Robert lived until 1926, dying at age 83.But along the way, he sure lived a remarkable life.

For starters, hebegged his fatherfor a commission toserve in the CivilWar, with PresidentLincoln refusing,saying the loss oftwo sons (to thatpoint) made riskingthe loss of a thirdout of the question.

But Robert in-sisted, saying that ifhis father didn't

help him, hewould join onhis own andfight with thefront linetroops; athreat thatdrove Abe togive in.But you

know howclever Abewas. He gaveRobert whathe wanted,but wiredG e n e r a lGrant to as-sign "Captain

Lincoln" to his staff, and to keep him well away fromdanger.The assignment did, however, result in Robert's being

present at Appomattox Court House, during the historicmoment of Lee's surrender.Then - the following week, while Robert was at the

White House, he was awakened at midnight to be toldof his father's shooting, and was present at The PetersonHouse when his father died.(1) Below are Robert's three brothers; Eddie, Willie,

and Tad.Little Eddie died at age 4 in 1850 - probably from thy-

roid cancer. Willie (in the middle picture) was the mostbeloved of all the boys. He died in the White House atage 11 in 1862, from what was most likely TyphoidFever.Abe grieved the hardest over Willie's death. It took

him four days to pull himself together enough to func-tion as President again. Lincoln had a temporary tombbuilt for Willie, until they could return home with hisbody to Springfield , and he often spent long periods oftime at the tomb.I guess Tad was a real hellion. None of his tutors

could control him, which is why he grew up unable tocompetently read or write. He was a momma's boy, hehad a lisp and was probably mildly retarded.He died at age 18 in 1871, most likely from the same

thyroid cancer Eddie had died from, suggesting a ge-netic flaw.But - back to Robert, shown at age 22 at left, follow-

ing his father's assassination, he moved to Chicago withhis insane mother, and brother Tad, who was 12 at thetime. Robert finished law school and practiced the craftfor a time, while constantly struggling to keep crazyMary in check.As she had done as First Lady, Mary went on shop-

ping binges that far exceeded common sense, drivingwhat was left of the family fortune into bankruptcy, andleading to violent disputes between Robert and she.Robert also had torrid battles with Mary to keep her

from destroying Lincoln's private papers, not just fortheir financial worth, but for their historic value also,with Mary forever trying to tearthem apart and burn them in fire-places.In fact, her irrational behavior

(she was probably schizophrenic)grew so destructive that Roberthad to have her put away, with hissignature signing her into a psy-chiatric hospital, where she stayedlocked up for three months. Marynever forgave him for it - and theyremained estranged from then on -until Mary died at age 63 in 1882. Worth noting, as a deceased

President's wife, Mary had peti-tioned Congress for a pension, andby God, she got one! She received$3,000 a year, a sizable sum backthen.Of profound interest, as an adult

Robert wrote there was a lot ofdistance between his father and he - caused mainly byAbe's being absent so much of the time during Robert'sformative years. Abe was forever gone on state wide ju-dicial circuits, or campaigning for office - or serving inthe state legislature.Robert writes that his most vivid memories of his fa-

ther were seeing him pack his saddle bags to be offagain. Nonetheless, Robert respected his father - and hewept obsessively the night he was killed.In 1868, Robert married a senator's daughter and they

had three kids - two girls and a boy, Abraham Lincoln'sonly grandchildren. Their son, whom they named Abra-ham Lincoln II (but whom they called "Jack") woulddie in 1890 from an infection arising from having a boilpierced under his arm. He was 15 at the time, and at leftis a blurry, but still remarkable photo of his lying in bed,shortly before he died.The two daughters, however, lived fairly long lives,

one living until 1938 to die at age 69, and the other until1948, dying at age 72.The last direct descendent of Abraham Lincoln would

be the child of one of Robert's daughters - Abe Lincoln'sgreat grandson - a guy named Bud Beckwith, who died

married but childless, in 1985.At left is a pic of Robert's children, taken before the

boy in the picture, Jack, died.In his own right, Robert made quite a life for himself.

He got into politics and was highly regarded in thosecircles. In fact - he served as Secretary of War underPresident Garfield - and, incredibly, was with him whenGarfield was shot at the Washington train station!And then - some years later, Robert would also be

present when President McKinley was gunned down inBuffalo ! I'm telling you, if I were President, I'd be leeryabout having him around me - wouldn't you?In later years, Robert would grow a beard, as shown

at left. He would serve in other political appointmentsand ambassadorships, and later became president of thePullman train car company, a booming enterprise backthen, and a position he would hold for the rest of his life.

Worth noting, Robert was an avid amateur as-tronomer, and even had an observatory built into his

Vermont home, which is betterdescribed as a mansion, really;but anyhow - the telescope wasso well built and powerful that'sit's still used today by a local as-tronomy club!

In the photo at left is Robert(far right) appearing in his late70's at the dedication of the Lin-coln Memorial in 1922.

And below - is his house.Some joint, huh?A footnote. Abe Lincoln once

said he doubted Robert would doas well in life as he had done.You sure wouldn't know it fromthe pad Robert lived in, huh? Be-yond that, Robert was severaltimes offered the chance to runas President or Vice-President,with his every time refusing the

offer, so - Old Abe's assessment of his son was way offthe mark, wasn't it? Of course, who knows how much'being Abe's son' influenced Robert's success in life?But anyhow - now for the most incredible thing there

is to know about Robert Lincoln.In his 20's, Robert was standing on a train platform

in Jersey City - buried among a crowd of passengers at-tempting to buy sleeping births from a haggard conduc-tor - when the train moved. Robert was standing soclose to the train that it spun him around and sent himdropping into the space between the train and the plat-form - a perilously tight place to be - against a movingtrain threatening to crush him!Suddenly - a hand grabbed Robert by the neck of his

coat and pulled him up onto the platform, a quick actionby a solidly strong man that may well have savedRobert's life.And you know who that man was? It was Edwin

Booth - the brother of John Wilkes Booth … who hadmurdered Robert's father.Below is Robert's sarcophagus at Arlington National

Cemetery , where he's buried with his wife and son Jack.And - now you know the whole story....

It’s the oldesttrick in thebook. If a

kid can’t getwhat he wants from one parent, say an extracookie or a curfew extension, he asks the otherone. Alex Collins is a big kid, but he’s still atypical kid. When he couldn’t get what hewanted from his mother, he asked his father. Collins is a 5-foot-11, 200-pound running

back from Plantation,Florida, near FortLauderdale. Collinsinitially committedto play at the Uni-versity of Miami,but then had secondthoughts. LastWednesday, whichwas National Sign-ing Day for collegefootball, perhaps themost important dayon the calendar forevery Division I institution in the land, Collinscalled a press conference to announce thatArkansas had won his heart. A recruit indicateshis intention to attend a particular institutionby signing two documents, the NCAA’s Na-tional Letter of Intent (NLI), and a scholarshipagreement with a specific school.

According to the NCAA website, “If you areunder the age of 21, regardless of marital sta-tus, your parent or legal guardian must sign theNLI in order for it to be considered valid.”That’s where the fun, or perhaps the absurdity,began. As a minor, Collins needed the signa-ture of one of his parents. No problem. Hismother, Andrea McDonald, was also in atten-dance at the news conference.But McDonald was not enthralled with her

son’s choice ofschools. Shewanted Collins tosign with Miami,just down the roadfrom her home. IfCollins became aHurricane, Mc-Donald could at-tend every homegame and watchher son play. Withcameras whirling,

Collins made the an-nouncement he was headed to Fayetteville, AR.At that instant, McDonald grabbed the signingdocuments and fled the scene, leaving Collins– and Arkansas – in limbo.Fortunately for Collins, he has two parents.

He immediately called his father, JohnnyCollins, who, although he was not part of the

initial signing ceremony, was more than happyto accommodate his son’s request to sign thelegal documents. At a hastily called press con-ference the day after the aborted version,Collins became a Razorback.The NLI has been criticized for being a one-

way street – the players are bound to a schoolbut coaches are free to leave for another insti-tution at any time. What we have is the equiv-alent of the ham and egg breakfast: The pig(player) is committed while the chicken(coach) is merely “involved.” As the strange case of Alex Collins suggests,

perhaps the system isn’t as one-sided as itsometimes appears. After all, with the help ofhis father, Collins stiffed Miami even after giv-ing the Hurricanes his word. And even thoughhis mother said no, Collins turned to his fatherand received the answer he was looking for.It’s the oldest trick in a kid’s playbook.

Warm Water After YourMeal and Heart Attacks!

Mayo Clinic on Aspirin -

PASS IT ON

Dr. Virend Somers, is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic, who is lead author of thereport in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having oneduring the night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusualhappened. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show thatsleep apnea is to blame. 1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night. The reason: Aspirin

has a 24-hour "half-life"; therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of themorning, the Aspirin would be strongest in your system. 2. FYI, Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest for years, (when it gets

old, it smells like vinegar). Please read on. Something that we can do to help ourselves - nice to know. Why keep Aspirin by your bedside?It's about Heart Attacks - There are other symptoms of a heart attack, besides the pain on the left arm. One must

also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating; how-ever, these symptoms may also occur less frequently. Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack. The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep did not

wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.

If that happens, immediatelydissolve two aspirins in yourmouth and swallow them with abit of water. Afterwards: - Call 911. - Phone a neighbor or a family

member who lives very close by. - Say "heart attack!" - Say that you have taken 2

Aspirins. - Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait

for their arrival and ...DO NOT LIE DOWN! A Cardiologist has stated that

if each person after receivingthis e-mail, sends it to 10 people,probably one life could besaved! I have already shared this in-

formation. What about you?

Warm water after your meal and Heart Attacks! The Chinese and Japanese drink hottea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit whileeating.This is NOT scientific research I have done…just some of my own real world experi-

ence…check it out and go hot or cold.For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to

have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuffthat you have just con-sumed. It will slowdown the digestion.Once this 'sludge' re-acts with the acid , itwill break down andbe absorbed by the in-testine faster than thesolid food. It will linethe intestine. Verysoon , this will turninto fats and lead tocancer. It is best todrink hot soup orwarm water after ameal. Common Symp-

toms Of Heart At-tack...I am told:

A serious noteabout heart attacks -You! Should knowthat not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of in-tense pain in the jaw line.

You may never have chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and in-tense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack whilethey are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let'sbe careful and be aware. The more we know , the better chance we could survive.

Denise Bazant Receives Mayor's Award

This winter, Marine Safety Officers continue to remove lobster traps thatbecome hazards when they are pushed into the surf line. On February 4,

strong lateral currents pushed five traps into the pier. Buoy lines wrappedaround pier pilings and became tangled under Tower Zero. As surfers paddledout through the fog, they were unaware of the danger created by the submergedtraps. Marine Safety Officers utilized a rescue vessel to negotiate the five footsurf and strong currents to cut the buoy lines.

On January 30, Marine Safety officials attended theUnited States Coast Guard Public Safety

Agency Meeting in LongBeach. Topics in-cluded multiple ca-sualty incidents,domestic terrorism,

homeland security, inci-dent command system,hazardous materials re-

sponse, and vessel inspections.

Denise Bazant startedwith the City of HB inthe Building Division

as a Permit Aide in 1981. Shespent four years in Buildingwhere she issued building, elec-trical, plumbing and swimmingpool permits and calculatedplan check fees.In 1985 Denise moved to

downturns in the econ-omy in 1994 Denisemoved to the EconomicDevelopment Department as anOffice Specialist where shegained her first experienceworking on Community Devel-opment Block Grants alongwith several of the City’s Hous-ing programs.In 1996, Denise was again

promoted back to an Adminis-trative Secretary in the Commu-nity Services Department whereshe provided support for the Su-perintendent of Recreation andHuman Services. While inCommunity Services she had an

opportunity to work with theChildren’s needs taskforce,Fourth of July Board and pre-pare bulletins for the SANDS. In 2002, she was promoted

again to Administrative Assis-tant in the City Manager’s of-fice. During her time in theCity Manager’s Office, she wasresponsible for reviewing andediting all of the RCA’s fromthe various departments, sheprovided support for the DeputyCity Manager’s and tracked all

Deaths of bicyclists and occupants of large trucks rosesharply last year even as total traffic fatalitiesdropped to their lowest level since 1949, federal

safety officials said Monday. Bicyclist deaths jumped 8.7 per-cent and deaths of occupants of large trucks increased 20 per-cent, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration saidin an analysis of 2011 trafficdeaths. Overall traffic fatali-ties dropped 1.9 percent, to32,367. The decline came asthe number of miles driven bymotorists dropped by 1.2 per-cent.The year 2011 also saw the

lowest fatality rate everrecorded, with 1.10 deathsper 100 million vehicle milestraveled in 2011, down from1.11 deaths per 100 millionvehicle miles traveled in2010. The increase in bicycledeaths probably reflects morepeople riding bicycles towork and for pleasure, ac-cording to Jonathan Adkins,deputy executive director ofthe Governors HighwaySafety Association, whichrepresents state highway safetyagencies. Washington, D.C., forexample, reports a 175 percentincrease in bicyclists during

morning and evening rush hours since 2004. The city alsotripled its bike lane network during the same period. Adkinshad this to say: Our culture is beginning to move away from driving and

toward healthier and greener modes of transportations. Weneed to be able to accommodate all these forms of transporta-

tion safely. Theincrease indeaths oflarge-truckoccupants ismore puz-

zling, butmay bedue to more trucks returning to the road as the economyimproves. There are more questions than answers aboutwhat is occurring here. NHTSA is working with the Federal Motor Carrier Ad-

ministration to gather more information to better under-stand the reason for the increase. Industry officialssuspect there may be a connection between states increas-ing their speed limits and the increase in deaths, accord-ing to Sean McNally, a spokesman for the AmericanTrucking Associations. He pointed out that Texas, for ex-ample, “has increased the speed limit to 85 mph on High-way 130 between Austin and San Antonio, the fastest inthe nation.” Congress passed a transportation bill last year that di-

rects NHTSA to study how well large trucks protect theiroccupants in crashes. Motorcycle deaths also rose 2.1percent, marking the 13th time in the last 14 years thatmotorcycle rider deaths have risen. Despite the overallprogress in 2011, preliminary crash data for 2012 re-

vealed that motor vehicle deathsand injuries trended upward again.This is verified by Jackie Gillan,president of Advocates for High-way and Auto Safety.

Dear EarthTalk: Iunderstand that there

are many kinds of auto-matic features that can be

incorporated into a home—evensome that can be operated remotely—that can save energyand provide other environmental benefits. Can you enlighten?~ Robert Goodman, Taos, NM

Home automation may indeed be the next big trend in whatconsumers can do today to stand up for the environment. Bysetting up a wired (or even wireless) system, homeownerscan optimize lighting level ef-ficiency, cut heating andcooling energy costs and de-activate energy-consumingdevices and appliances evenwhen no one is home.“An automated home

brings together security, fire,lighting, temperature control,audio, video, pool, spa, drap-ery control, sprinklers, andanything else that you wantso that these systems can talkto each other and work to-gether,” reports Jay McLellanof Home Automation Inc., aleading manufacturer of inte-grated automation and secu-rity systems for residentialand commercial use. “In anautomated home these de-vices work together to makethe home more energy effi-cient, comfortable, more con-venient and safer.”One easy way to dip a toe

in the water of home automationis to swap out regular light switches for occupancy sensors,which can tell if a room is occupied and will turn lights onand off accordingly.

Upgrading to a programmable thermostat that will regu-late heating and cooling according to a set schedule is an-other way to reduce energy consumption and save money.Some newer models, such as Nest from California-basedNest Labs, can program themselves based on occupants’routines and also offer the option to adjust heating andcooling settings remotely via the Internet. A built-in occu-pancy sensor signals to the Nest whether and when peopleare around, and the unit then adjusts heating or cooling ac-cordingly. The newest version, Nest 2, can tell within a halfhour when occupants have vacated and will set the indoortemperature to more energy efficient level on its own.

Shelling out$249 for Nest’s so-called “learningthermostat” mayseem a little ex-treme, but the fea-ture may saveenough money andelectricity to payfor itself in as littleas a year. NestLabs helps con-sumers track theirenergy usage andsavings withmonthly “energyreports” that detailwhy home heatingand cooling costshave gone up ordown (based onusage and timeaway, as well asother factors, suchas weather). Thesereports also contain

tips on how to opti-mize Nest as well as other tips to increase energy savings ac-cordingly. Nest thermostats can replace most existingthermostats and do not require upgrading to a newer furnace

or air conditioning system—although newer heating andcooling systems, especially those that meet the U.S. govern-ment’s EnergyStar criteria for efficiency, do tend to savemuch more energy than older ones. Some 56 percent of theenergy used in a typical American home goes to heating andcooling, so automation can make a big difference for the en-vironment and the pocketbook.Beyond lighting and thermostats, whole-house automation

systems connect home electronics (including appliances andsecurity systems) into an integrated wireless network that al-lows occupants to control from off-site, including via the In-ternet or a mobile phone app. A Sylvania Z-Wave Starter Kitfrom SmartHomeUSA.com is one affordable way to getstarted with whole-house automation; you can start small andgradually add electronics to the system.

The Local News.

David White, a wine writer, is the founderand editor of Terroirist.com. His columns arehoused at Wines.com, the fastest growing wineportal on the Internet.

On Super Bowl Sunday, some 1.25 billionchicken wings were consumed alongside11 million pounds of potato chips, 4 million

pounds of pretzels, and 2.5 million pounds of nuts. Mas-sive quantities of beer helped wash all that down -- nearly50 million cases worth were sold on Sunday alone. It'sno wonder why Anheuser-Busch purchased four and ahalf minutes of ad space during the big game.Americans also drank wine. While 42 percent of Super

Bowl viewers told Nielsen they planned on consumingbeer during the game, 33 percent told pollsters theyplanned todrink wine.This number

caught me bysurprise. Sure,the UnitedStates sur-passed Franceas the world'slargest wine-consuming na-tion in 2010.But wine stilli n t im i d a t e smany con-sumers.Fortunately,

as the Super Bowl statistics help demonstrate, this isquickly changing. Across the country, Americans are em-bracing wine.For evidence, look no further than your closest grocery

store.Thirty years ago, the local market sold little more than

jug wine like Gallo's Hearty Burgundy -- if wine waseven stocked. Today, the average upscale supermarketcarries 1,500 wine selections or more. The number ofbreakfast cereals pales in comparison.As the number of choices has increased, so has bewil-

derment. As Mike Veseth, an economics professor in

Washington, once explained, "Wine buyers have neverhad it better in terms of the number of choices availablefrom around the world. And we've never had it worse re-garding the possibility of confusion and the pressure tofind our perfect wine. It's the Age of Anxiety for wine." But consumers are eager to learn. And the market is re-

sponding. Consider the rise of specialty wine shops. Across the

country, boutique retailers are filling their shelves withinteresting, small-production wines-- and helping consumers learnabout wine by paying attention totheir preferences, offering food-and-wine pairing advice, and an-swering questions withoutjudgment. Or look at wine bars. They're

sprouting up across the country,providing opportunities for peopleto explore wines.High-end restau-rants are also approaching winedifferently. Whereas sommelierswere once glorified sales agentswho intimidated guests by pushingexpensive, predictable wines,today's sommeliers are wine edu-

cators, eager to share their passion and palates. Most arekeen to help patrons find the perfect wine, regardless ofbudget.This list could go on. Bookstores are now packed with

easy-to-navigate wine guides. Wine classes are more pop-ular than ever before. The world of wine is clearly chang-ing.Chain restaurants aren't just profiting on America's

growing interest in wine -- they're leading the charge.Consider Olive Garden. With 730 locations, it's no sur-

prise that the chain serves more than 600 million bread-sticks and 165 million bowls of salad annually. But the

restaurant also servesmore wine than any otherchain in the UnitedStates. In 2006, OliveGarden sold more than500,000 cases of wine.

In part, Olive Gardensells so much wine be-cause it takes educationseriously. As Mike

Veseth has written, "many restaurants expect that theirwait staff will pick up wine knowledge -- Olive Gardenreally works at it, by providing literally hundreds of thou-sands of hours of training." The restaurant also givesaway free samples, where legal. In 2006, it gave away30,000 cases of wine, which equates to 4.5 million pours. These efforts help demystify wine.Several years ago, I stumbled into a conversation with

David Kent, who at the time was president and CEO ofThe Wine Group. The company, which makes brandssuch as Cupcake Vineyards, FishEye, and flipflop, is thethird-largest wine producer in the world. As we chatted,he described his vision for American wine.He began by asking me to picture a group of 20-some-

things at a beach house. He then asked me to visualizethe cooler they'd pack before heading to the beach. Asyou might guess, my mental sketch included sandwiches,chips, and a few dozen light beers. One day, Kent hopesthat group will instead bring a few bottles of wine.That's an optimistic future, to be sure. And we're still a

long way off; America's beer market is nine times largerthan the wine market. But it's a future worth rooting for.David White, a wine writer, is the founder and editor

Wow!

1) Power comes from a 6.5-litre diesel enginethat's fitted with a supercharger to help haul thisbeast around.. Yet despite this mammoth powerplant, the top speed is only 60 mph and it takesaround 15 seconds to reach this.2) It is based on a GM truck chassis and weighs

a staggering6,350 kg. Toput that in con-text, The Rolls-R o y c ePhantom, oneof the biggestcars on theroad, weighs apaltry 2,550 kgin compari-son. This iswhy it only av-erages 8 mpg.3) A lot of the weight comes from the armour

protection.

The body is made up of steel, aluminium, tita-nium and ceramic.4) The glass is five-inches thick and only the

windscreen opens, to allow the driver to talk to

secret service runningalongside or to pay a toll.It is also hermeticallysealed to secure itfrom chemical attack..5) Should the worst

happen, the Beast has itsown oxygen supply6) The military-grade

armor means the doorsare eight-inches thick and weigh as much as aBoeing 747's.7) The doors are so thick that the president can't

hear any outside noise, so speakersare built in to play the ambientsound of the crowd.8) The underside is reinforced

with a Kevlar mat to protect CaddyOne frombomb attacks.9) The fuel

tank is leakproof andfilled withspecial foamthat prevents it from ex-ploding, even in a directhit.10) There

are two holesin the front

bumper that can emit tear gas andfire smoke grenades.

11)There is also an infraredvideo system for the driver todrive through smoke and nightvision cameras for driving indarkness without lights.12) Cadillac One normally

flies two flags, the Americanflag and the Presidential Stan-dard, which are lit up at nightwith LEDs. When President ison a state visit, the Presidential Standard isreplaced by the flag of the country he is

visiting.13) The Beast has a fire fighting system located

in the trunk.14) Also in the trunk is a bank of the president's

blood that is carried at alltimes and when he goesout an ambulance alwaysfollows close behind.15) President gets a

presidential limo built tothis specification everyfour years and the old onesare handed down to vicepresidents and visiting

heads of state.16) The Obamobile can seat seven, with two

seats up front, three rear-facing ones in the mid-dle, and two at the back, onefor the president and the otherfor a guest.17) Inside, President isn't

deprived of his creature com-forts; a 10-disc CD player isamong the features, as well assophisticated electronic com-munications with directphones to the White Houseand internal Internet.18)Defense systems include

a pump-action shotgun in a compartment besidethe driver.

19) The tires are reinforced with Kevlar and canrun when flat. If the tires are missing, the steelrims have been designed to allow the car to keepon driving at speed.20) Caddy One has no specific model name,

but is called "The Beast" by the Secret Service.

The ongoing decrease in property values hasbeen upsetting to many existing homeown-ers. For prospective homebuyers though,

the timing has never been better. With housingprices at multi-year lows, and interest rates at all-time bottom, housing affordability has never beenbetter. But for the first year in many, this seems tonow be turning the other way.As I wrote in my last article, the rate on a 30

year fixed mortgage is up about 0.25% in the lastfew weeks. An increase of this amount equates toan increase of roughly $14.00 per month for every$100,000 financed. For a California homeowner

carrying an average balance of $330,000, thisequates to roughly $50 more per month on thepayment, or $600 per year. And if the bottom hastruly passed for rates, as some analysts believe,then the additional cost of financing a home willcontinue to grow with the rising rates.Even more concerning for homebuyers is that

property values are starting to increase. Accordingto Corelogic, the average home price across thecountry increased by 8.3% last year. Californiabeat the national average posting double-digit in-creases in value last year. And according toDataquick, Orange County was one of the

strongest markets for2012 posting value in-creases of over 17%,bringing property valuesin the area to 4 ½ yearhighs.Of course, what’s good

news to some is bad newsfor others. The increase invalues has put many ex-isting homeowners backin an equity position, al-lowing many of them torefinance into historiclow rates. Theincrease in

values has also pushedCalifornia foreclo-sures to the lowestlevels since 2006. But for those looking to buy ahome, the increased prices are not welcome news.It’s simply math. If a property is selling for 15%

more this year than it was last year, this means thatthe buyer will have to come up with 15% moredown payment. It also means that the remainingloan balance will be 15% higher, and so will theirresulting mortgage payment. Additionally, sinceinitial property tax rates are calculated accordingto the purchase price, this means that the propertytax payments will also be 15% higher.History will likely show that those who “timed

the market” and purchased a home in 2012 willhave benefitted from one of the most affordablehousing markets ever created. And 2013 will notbe far off. Mortgage rates remain very near the all-time record lows. And although property valuesare showing an increase, they are still well off theall-time highs attained in 2007-2008. In otherwords, this is still very much a buyer’s market.Anyone who’s in the market to buy should first

contact a lender to find out what they qualify for,then contact a real estate agent to find them theright house within that budget. The timing may

never bebetter.

The Bureau of LaborStatistics releasedjobs numbers for Jan-

uary showing that nonfarmpayroll employment in-creased by 157,000 and theunemployment rate rose to7.9 percent.Lost in these headline

numbers was another rise inthe number of people not inthe labor force.This number now stands at a staggering 89 million, up from 80.5

million when President Obama took office.This means that there are currently 8.5 million more Americans not

in the labor force than just four years ago.Forget all the other numbers.This continued explosion of people not in the labor force should be

tremendously concerning as it represents an obstacle for the govern-ment to ever balance the budget without drastically raising taxes onthose still working.
