FoxNews.com reported recentlythat..."Jane Fonda, whose outspoken crit-icism of the Vietnam War once earned her

the nickname “Hanoi Jane,” has been tapped toplay Nancy Reagan, former first lady and wifeto the late President Ronald Reagan,FoxNews.com has confirmed.The role will be in the film “The Butler,” a

historical drama following the life of EugeneAllen, who worked as a butler in the WhiteHouse under eight presidents.Fonda joins a long list of big names cast in

the film, including Forest Whitaker, as Allen.Other names reportedly in talks for the projectinclude Oprah Winfrey, Hugh Jackman andLiam Neeson.Fonda’s role will likely be a supporting one,

considering the films span over severaldecades. But some critics say the choice is apoor one in light of Fonda’s controversial po-

litical past and outspoken comments.Fonda is a self-proclaimed liberal and many

of her political statements stand in stark con-trast to the conservative ideals of Reagan’spresidency. During the Vietnam War in the1970s, she called American politicians and mil-itary leaders “war criminals” and decriedPOWs as “hypocrites and liars.”She apologized in 2005.Fonda’s next role will be in Bruce Beres-

ford’s upcoming drama, “Peace, Love and Mis-understanding,” according to Variety.Ed Note: What an insult to the Reagan

legacy...what an insult to the memory, work, ac-complishments and most important on-goingpromise the Reagan still has in the hearts andminds of those who hope for Change.

Give Me A Break!

Jane Fonda Plays Nancy Reagan!

Here’s Some Change!

"Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requiresevery citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyonemust prove they are a citizen."Now add this, "Many of those who refuse, or are unable,

to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid forby those who are forced to buy insurance because they arecitizens." Think about it when you vote!

SOME WILL APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME WILL NOT. HOWEVER, ALL OF IT IS TRUE.After 3 yrs. & 7 months. of the present White House...Here's your change! VERY INTERESTING!

Papers? YouDon’t Need No

Stinking Papers!By Syndicated Columnist A. Murphy

[email protected]

Unless you are, or were, aliterature major in col-lege, a South American

Political Activists or just a fan ofLatin literary giants, you may nothave heard of Gabriel Garcia Mar-quez, the author of 100 Years ofSolitude, and a plethora of otherprized works. Back in the 1980’s

during an interview by a film student, Marquez wasrecorded claiming “Mexicans are taking over Amer-ica through our food, our language and our cultureand they don’t even see us coming. We are takingover by sheer numbers. We love America more thanthem because they are giving their country away.”

Marquez, a socialist and La Raza sup-porter, was overtly hostile toward Amer-ica. As a fan of his, I was disillusionedand angry. How could a man from acountry that offered so little to their peo-ple resent a country that offered so much?How could he resent a country that edu-cates his compatriots? How could he con-demn a country that gifts citizenship tothe children of foreign nationals, medicalcare, childcare, housing, food assistance,financial aid, and free legal aid? Thesegifts are not reserved just for Americans.These gifts are universal. There in lays

the problem, we are in fact giving America away. Ourgovernment has devalued our most prized posses-sions, our compassion and our citizenship. Our gov-ernment is exploiting Americans.In an attempt to

secure passports forour children I spentthe good part of amorning rummagingthrough familyrecords. I organizedbirth certificates, en-sured they wereoriginal copies,pulled out my mar-riage record, mybirth record, myhusband’s birthrecord, and ourpassports. All thesedocuments werenecessary in order toprove my childrenare Americans, we are in fact their parents, and weare also Americans. I waited in line at the CountyRegister Recorder, submitted all of my original doc-uments, paid the fees, and proudly stood by while mylittle American daughter smiled for her first Americanpassport. While waiting for her I perused the pam-phlet displayed on the counter. Inside was a long listof documents our government found acceptable inorder for citizens to prove their eligibility for such acoveted document, the American passport. At the very bottom of the list, in small print, was a

list of “substitute” documents our government ac-cepted from people that could not prove they were ac-tually born in America via a birth certificate. The listincluded, but was not limited to, a baptismal recordwithin six years of your birth, a letter from an olderrelative or an early school record. I think we can alldeduce the obvious loopholes in this rule. I hysteri-cally began to laugh out loud! What a farce we havebecome! How disingenuous, how corrupt!American citizens have become a means to an end

for power hungry politicians. Our adherence to thelaw and our faithful payment of taxes serves to allowour government to reward themselves for making amockery of our laws! Our government mocks us andrests comfortably in power while we remain compli-ant and complacent. We are indeed allowing ourcountry to be

lapse2012 U.S. Auto Industry Thriving and Housing Coming Back."Obama promised to keep the unemployment rate under 8%."

Yes, he made that promise when Bush's economicforecasters were saying the economy would con-strict at (-3.2%), that number had to later be revisedto (-9.1%)."Obama promised to cut the deficit in half." Yes,

but he did cut the deficit by $200 Billion (largestdeficit reduction in the nation's history in thatamount of time) and grew the economy.

Jobs"The American Jobs Act" has been stalled in Con-

gress for more than a year. A plan that Moody's sayswould create 1.9 million jobs, The Economic PolicyInstitute says would create 2.6 million jobs, Macro-economic Advisers says would create 2.1 millionjobs and Goldman Sachs estimates would add 1.5%to our GDP. This plan not only gives massive taxincentives to small businesses and employers to boost hiring, itputs money towards much needed infrastructure and shores uplocal budgets to prevent layoffs of teachers, firefighters and policeofficers. Oh, and it's paid for.

Foreign Policy- Osama Bin Laden is dead.- Most Al Qaeda leadership killed.- Iraq War over.- Afghanistan War winding down.- No president in history has done more for Israel's security:

record high Foreign Military Financing, high level consultationson arm sales to the region, operational cooperation to improve theircounterterrorism capabailities and helping to finance "Iron Dome";an anti-rocket system that has already intercepted 90% launchedagainst protected areas.- Democracy spreads through the Middle East, with little U.S.

economic footprint and loss of American lives.- Multilateral sanctions against Iran having destabilizing affect

on their monetary system.

Social Issues- Supported and signed "Individuals with Disabilities Education

Act."- Supported and signed "Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act."- Supported and signed an extension to the "Violence Against

Women Act."- Repealed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."- First President to support same-sex marriage.- Presided over an administration that would not endorse

D.O.M.A.- After 10 years of Congressional debate made an Executive

Order to enact the policies of the DREAM Act.A previous column went into great detail regarding the positive

influence of the "Affordable Care Act." As always, if you have any comments, questions or concerns;

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

CONSENSUS: Safe Bets: Play and Box #3, #5 and #6, #7, #8 &9. Box this bet and you will Win,Place and Show and have strong 4th & 5th place positions in case of long shot wins. Pays to 3rdposition...even money on at least one upset. Show... Odds pay best on: #2, #10, #12. Handicapper'sChoice: Across the Board Bets heading to the winners circle: #3. #5, #6, #7, #8, #9. Have fun...watchhow they train, watch how they head to the Gate. Anything could happen.

#1 position usually a treat to favorites. Performance in the stretch unknown.No Utterance available. No Line available yet. Debut Outing.

Native born, Irish Sweeps bred horse familiar with The Curragh ... should becompetitive run. unpredictable finish -horse is all heart. Originally Trainedat D&S Farms - discipline and grooming give this challenger promise andlong term race success. May need blinkers to keep focused...changed postposition since last race. No Utterance available.. Good post position but longrace! Morning Line 2 to 1.

Late entry. This Stallion might be late to start but has strong finish. Lots of experience on this course. Wears the Green, has Senior Trainers...watch forsome bump and impedence...if this one gets the lead -will keep the lead. Goodperformance as a Mudder -track expected to be dry and fast. Trainers / Breeders Community Farms. Even money. Pulls to the right...in recent races

Has not run on Municipal tracks, popular in the paddock and among seniorstaff. Power horse with potential to run well. No history to go by...good disposition...well bred... shutter to think. Needs more workouts.

Popular, outstanding Philly. This Mare predicted to have strong finish. Hastrained with others. Mares have unique behaviors. Can be unpredictable...and can be work horses. Watch for some bump and impedence. Goodperformance as a Mudder -but track expected to be dry and fast. Trainer /Breeder Cook/ Connie Farms. Even Money. Teaches well.

Middle of the Pack. Good gate position for break away. Has been training hardsince last outing. Trainers serious about big win upset. Look for Blue andGold Colors. This colt wears his badge of honorl. Runs straight, not carryingany extra weight. Finish depends on track conditions, any scratches beforepost time and how well he uses his "crop" in the race.

Seasoned Stallion. Knows course very well. Has won on this track before.Runs with head up. Trainer OCRP and D&S Farms. If wins pledges to reformracing rules on this track. With his entry's ribbons, solid even money bet forserous and conservative better. D&S Farms favorite in this race. Look for Plastic bags on saddle.

Good gait, begins with gallop. The Grooms, D&S Farms have donewell...should finish strong. Handy position for this horse, does well comingfrom the outside...breaks fast -runs to the inside. Trains with another horse,shares trainer. This one has covered a lot of real estate. Now with experienceon this track...could be in the upset column.

Another Stallion...first time out. Trains with the pros. Official Dark Horse...bigmoney bet. Two to one odds. Well Mel groomed, runs in professional circles.Most experienced in Charity Outings...first money -purse race. Morning linesays box this one with a favorite or two. Include in your Trifecta... could putyou in the winner's circle. Has most experienced trainer in this field...couldmake difference by being an independent straight runner. No blinders - seesthe whole track -no distractions.

No stranger to the Stables and Paddocks. Now, has experience on this track.Second time out. Learns fast. Has to come from the outside...but that's whatgood horses are trained to do. Read up on this one...

New entry in these Sweeps. Has been around other courses with lots of professional experience.This entry could teach. Seems to get along with theother entries and understands needs to be competitive but need to get along.No history... play your hunch.

Last but certainly not least. Has surprised some with performance with otherpositions and is definitely a Tea-totaler when it comes to hard training, dailyworkouts and fan base. Well acclimated to these track conditions, handlersare serious local men and women on a goal of win, place or show.

How About These Keys To Your Heart?Talk about selling the keys to the city.That's exactly what a retired New Jersey

locksmith allegedly did when he sold a set ofmaster keys that can shut down elevators, opensubway gates and get into electric circuit break-ers all over New York City to a newspaper re-porter posing as a buyer on EBay.The New York Post reported Sunday that a re-

porter bought a set of five keys used by firefighters, tran-sit workers, electricians and other authorized city employees fromDaniel Ferraris of Union City, N.J. At $149.95, the keys were a steal -- maybeliterally.“These keys are issued to firefighters for emergency situations,” Howard

Safir, a former FDNY and New York Police Department commissioner toldthe Post. “Just anyone having them is very dangerous.”...the newspaper reported that it tested them and they do.Three of the five keys on the “firemen’s key ring” are routinely issued to

FDNY members, the Post reported. The set came with a metal tag engravedwith a fire department lieutenant’s shield number, 6896.The Post cited two FDNY sources saying that one master firefighter key

could send all the elevators in a building -- any building -- out of service, trap-ping thousands of people on high floors. The same key also opens locked sub-way entrances and firehouses as well as lockboxes with yet more keys atconstruction sitesThe two other keys are used by city electricians to open circuit-breaker boxes

in skyscrapers and give access to street lights.The apparent security loophole is especially notable given the elaborate, and

often controversial, steps New York City has taken since the Sept. 11, 2001terrorist attacks

The Post said Ferraris had been offering otherkeys on eBay under the name “thesixlever” whenit bought its set. The page has since been takendown.According to the newspaper, the ads noted that, “I

also have some items NOT permitted for listing oneBay” and add, incorrectly, that, “All items are OB-SOLETE and have Not been in use in years.”If the keys were stolen and Ferraris intended to use

them to commit a crime, the Post said quoting an un-named police official, he could be charged with possession of burglar’s tools,a misdemeanor that could land him in jail for up to a year.EBay did not comment on the report.The FDNY initially blew off the Post's sting but now says it is investigating.“We cannot let anyone sell the safety of over 8 million people so easily,"

New York City Public Advocate Bill de Blasio said in a statement. "Havingthese keys on the open market literally puts lives at risk. The billions we’vespent on counter-terrorism have been severely undercut by this breech [sic]."Despite the shocking headlines that seem to spell a terrorist's dream come

true, the website Gothamist was not impressed."So what if only a few hundred (or few thousand?) of these keys exist and

that only 'most' of the ones purchased by the Post actually worked (the reportdoesn't say which ones), let's breathe erratically into a paper bag while a 'for-mer FDNY employee' tells us all the horrible things these keys could unleash,"the website wrote, noting that Ferraris indicated he isn't the only one traffickingin such keys.As the former locksmith told the Post, “I get them from different places.

I was a locksmith for many years, and I go to shows and get some fromcollectors."

Students at St. BonaventureCatholic School started lastFriday morning as they usually

do, with a school-wide television broad-cast of prayer, Pledge of Allegiance anddaily announcements. But the broadcastalso included the unveiling of a timely ar-tifact: a heat tile from the Space Shuttle,a gift from NASA tothe school.After the announce-

ment that the tilewould be on perma-nent display at theschool, anticipationgrew for an expectedEndeavor sighting inthe clear blue sky ofHuntington Beach.Shortly before 12:30 pm,students, faculty and staff gathered in theschool’s parking lot and were treated toan unobstructed view of the Space Shuttleas it flew directly overhead. Students cap-

tured video and photographs of the once-in-a-lifetime event with their iPads anddigital cameras.Many of the parents of St. Bonaventure

Catholic School students work at Boeing,NASA’s prime con-tractor for SpaceShuttle operations,and were delightedto join their studentsin catching aglimpse of history inthe making.For more infor-

mation please con-tact Judy Luttrell, St.

Here are four things othersports leagues should have

learned from watching the fiascoinitiated by the NFL by lockingout its referees.

Your Brand Isn’t BulletproofThe replacement refs proved

to be as incompetent as even themost negative forecasters predicted. The missedcalls and non-calls led to negative reactions fromfans, followed by critical comments and tweetsfrom the players, public statements by owners,and even disapproving comments from leaguepartners such as ESPN. Before long, the NFLbrand, which once seemed bulletproof, was undersiege.

Multi-billion Dollar Businesses Can’t Affordto be CheapThe referees were asking for an additional $3.3

million, a mere 0.3% of the NFL’s approximately$9 billion per-year in revenue, or $100,000 perteam. While it’s easy to spend someone else’smoney, under the circumstances, that sum isminiscule, by any standard of measurement.The lockout suggests that despite their incredible

financial success,NFL Commis-sioner RogerGoodell and theowners may notunderstand busi-ness, or at leastthey didn’t whenthey started play-ing hardball withthe NFLRA. Following the

non-interceptionin Seattle and theoutrage that fol-

lowed, owners received the equivalent of a Har-vard Business School degree.

Integrity Trumps the Bottom LineThe fact that two replacement referees standing

less than a yard from each other in the end zone canmake the exact opposite call is all you need to knowabout the lack of integrity in the game during thefirst three weeks of the season. We won’t even mention the affect replacement

referees had on the gamblers – legal and otherwise.Not that anyone at league headquarters wouldadmit it publicly, but the gaming industry is theprime reason for the NFL’s popularity. While itmay seem like an oxymoron to mention gamblingand integrity in the same sentence, if betters could-n’t rely on the integrity of a game’s outcome, inter-est in the NFL might have waned, except for those

who were willing to bet on when a replacement refwould make the wrong call.

Do Not Allow Labor Negotiations to Reach theEleventh HourYou can preach this one forever and it will fall on

deaf ears. Time and time again, labor negotiationscome down to the deadline. Be forewarned: Pro-crastination and delay can be hazardous to thehealth of your sport. History shows that any labor interruption - lock-

out or strike - in professional sports can damage notonly the bottom line, but the perception fans andthe media have towards your sport. The lockout ofthe referees could have been avoided if negotiationshad begun earlier, had not been so confrontational,and had been about money instead of power. Other sports leagues should learn from the NFL’s

experience. Don’t wait for an embarrassment sim-ilar to what occurred at CenturyLink Field to re-solve a labor dispute.

Boys & Girls Clubs ofHuntington Valley

Opens New Oak View Branch!

On Monday, October 1, 2012,Boys & Girls Clubs of Hunt-ington Valley opened its new

Oak View Branch. There was a won-derful response from the community,with 126 children enrolled in the firsttwo and a half hours of the first dayof operations. Boys & Girls Club CEO Tanya

Hoxsie comments, “We’re excited tobe in Oak View and so glad to seesuch enthusiasm from the kids andthe parents in the community.”From 2-5pm each weekday during

the school year, the hours when juve-nile crime is at its peak, BGCHV isproviding high quality programs that

keep kids engaged in positive, funand educational activities rather thanhome alone or out on the street get-ting into trouble. This is especiallyimportant in the Oak View neighbor-hood where more than 95% of youthare from low-income families and thecrime rate is twice that of the rest ofOrange County. Programming at thenew Club focuses on academic sup-port including STEM, fitness andhealthy habits, and arts activities. Tomake sure that the kids who need itmost can benefit from all the Boys &Girls Club has to offer, the newbranch is free for families who livein the Oak View area.

October Gardening Tips from Agromin - Beat the Heat:

Cooler October WeatherMakes Gardening a Breeze

Huntington Beach, Calif.--Oc-tober usually brings coolerweather to Southern Califor-

nia (although hot Santa Ana windscan wreak havoc). Cooler fall tem-peratures mean a more pleasant gar-dening experience, say experts atAgromin, an Oxnard-based manu-facturer of earth-friendly soil prod-ucts made from organic materialcollected from more than 50 Califor-nia communities including those inOrange County. Residents can obtainAgromin soil products in bulk or inbags at Rainbow EnvironmentalServices (gate seven) in HuntingtonBeach and in bulk at South CoastSupply in Huntington Beach and LosAlamitos and Larry's Building Ma-terials in Costa Mesa and LagunaBeach.Remove Summer Vegetable

Plants; Plant Winter Vegetables:Your heartiest summer vegeta-bles will produce wellinto fall but many

vegetable plantswill have stopped pro-ducing no matter how much lovingcare you provide. It's time to removethem and plant winter vegetables.October is the optimal time to plantbeets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts,cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, kale,lettuce, parsley, peas, radish,spinach, potatoes, turnips, winterzucchini and celery. Revive yourgarden soil before planting with a 2-inch layer of compost.Update Herb Garden: Plant fresh

oregano, parsley, rosemary, chives,cilantro, dill, fennel and thyme. PlantItalian basil for nearly year-roundleaf production.Plant Cloves of Garlic: If you love

garlic, you'll love the fresh taste ofgarlic from your garden. Plant cloveswith the pointy side up, one to threeinches deep and three to five inchesapart. During fall and winter, thecloves will form a strong root sys-tem. Expect leaves in spring with aclove harvest in summer. Plant inraised beds or in well-draining soil. Plant Ground Cover: Plant peren-

nial ground cover once and watch itspread into a beautiful quilt of greensand flowers. Ground cover that doesparticularly well in Southern Califor-

nia include creeping thyme, lamium,vinca, primrose, armeria, mondograss and lamb's ear. Don't forget na-tive wildflowers. Choose a westernseed mix that has both annuals andperennials including California pop-pies, larkspur, linaeria, clarkia, Chi-nese houses, godetia and gypsophila.Spread these seeds in your flowergarden. They will thrive after winterrains.Aerate Lawns: Soil under lawns

compact over time preventing waterand air reach from reaching roots.October is a good time to aerate yourlawn. An aerator will lift out one-inch "plugs" of soil from the grassleaving plenty of room for water and

air to connect withroots. Aerators

are usuallyavailable for rent at

equipment rental stores. Harvest Pumpkins: Pumpkins are

ready to harvest once their connect-ing vines are dry and the pumpkinrind is hard. Leave a two-inch stemattached when removing pumpkinsfrom the vine. If uncut, pumpkinscan remain edible for up to sixmonths after harvesting. After carv-ing a Jack O'Lantern, save the seedsfor eating. Separate them from thepulp, wash and then dry thoroughly.Coat them with oil, sprinkle themgarlic powder or any other season-ing. Spread the seeds on a cookiesheet and cook for 25 minutes in a400-degree oven, turning them atleast once. Remove from the ovenand lightly sprinkle with salt andtoss. Cool before eating.Prepare for Hot October Winds:

Santa Ana winds are always possiblein October. While you can generallycut back on watering in October, hotwinds can dry out gardens in a mat-ter of hours. Adjust your wateringschedule accordingly. Make surejust-planted young trees are properlystaked to withstand strong winds.For more gardening tips, go to

Are We Done With the Heat?!What’s Next:

A Dry or Wet Winter?

Just about any-where you werethis summer youcould hear chatterand complaintsabout the heat. Thebeaches werepacked withSouthern Califor-nians trying to es-

cape unusually high temperatures, and no doubtSouthern California Edison operated at or near capac-ity to keep up with the demand from air conditionersgetting their workout. As we emerge from an unusuallyhot summer, what is in store for the upcoming winterstorm seasonand next sum-mer?The rainfall

fiscal year isfrom July toJune. OrangeCounty’s rain-fall last yearwas below nor-mal, and we’vehad no measur-able rainfall yetthis year (July2012 to pres-ent). Severalmonths ago itappeared thatwe might beheading for El

Niño conditions and above average rainfall this com-ing winter, but it now appears more likely we will haveaverage conditions. Making Sense of the Weather & El NiñoEl Niño is a disruption of the ocean-atmosphere

system in the Tropical Pacific resulting in importantconsequences for weather and climate around theglobe. According to NASA, El Niño is part of thesee-saw pattern of reversing surface air pressure be-tween the eastern and western tropical Pacific. Whenthe surface pressure is high in the eastern tropical Pa-cific it is low in the western tropical Pacific, andvice-versa. Because the ocean warming and pressurereversals are, for the most part, simultaneous, scien-tists call this phenomenon the El Niño/Southern Os-

cillation or ENSO forshort.Last month, the U.S. Climate Prediction Center

(CPC) forecast that Southern California will be af-fected by a weak El Niño, which could mean a wetter-than-normal winter. However, the CPC also pointedout that historically weak El Niños have brought vary-ing amounts of rain from above-average, to average,to below-average rainfall. Their guess is as good asours: anything can happen. With conflicting forecastsand using historical weather data, experts at the OrangeCounty Water District (OCWD or District) are prepar-ing for average rainfall this winter (10”-14”).Due to OCWD’s planning, investments, innovations

and exemplary groundwater management (much ofwhich I will write about in future articles), the ground-water basin is in good standing and able to sustainwater demand if we experience continued average orbelow-average rainfall. You play an important role inthis too. I encourage you to keep up your conservationefforts and efficiency measures to ensure we maintainproper water levels, especially if next summer is any-thing like what we just experienced.

Cathy Green was elected to OCWD inNovember 2010. She served two termson the Huntington Beach City Counciland was Mayor twice. HuntingtonBeach has been home to the GreenFamily over 41 years

Dear Earth-Talk: The world

added its seven-bil-lionth person in 2011, but

the news came and went quickly while Charlie Sheen newskept on and on. But isn’t population growth the “elephantin the room” that needs serious attention? Can you outlinethe major impacts of unchecked population growth andwhat if anything is being done to try to arrest it?

~Aaron Rodriguez, Tucson, AZ

Unchecked human population growth could be a recipefor doom for the planet and its inhabitants. And it hasreached staggering levels in recent years—the number ofpeople on the planet has doubled from 3.5 billion to sevenbillion in just a half century.While we’ve made greatstrides in educating peoplearound the world aboutfamily planning and birthcontrol, the global fertilityrate still hovers around 2.5children per woman. At thatrate, population will growto 11 billion by 2050 andnearly 27 billion by 2100.While such a scenario is

unlikely given that fertilityrates tend to decline ascountries develop and mod-ernize, the prospect of aplanet with tens of billionsof people on it is scary in-deed. The first widely pub-lished pundit on thepotential impacts of too much human population growthwas Englishman Thomas Malthus, whose 1798 “An Essayon the Principle of Human Population” warned that vio-lence, genocide, nasty weather, disease epidemics and

pestilence would be precursors to widespread famine in aworld with too many humans. “The power of population isso superior to the power of the earth to produce subsistencefor man, that premature death must in some shape or othervisit the human race,” he wrote.History views Malthus as an extremist and many would

argue that, despite population having swelled some seventimes since his day, we have so far managed to avert aplanet-wide “Malthusian catastrophe” whereby populationhas simply outpaced our ability to feed ourselves. Nonethe-less, a 2007 UNICEF report indicated that 10.9 childrenunder five-years-old die each year around the world, withmalnutrition and other hunger-related diseases responsiblefor 60 percent of the tragedy. And a 2009 World Health Or-ganization and UNICEF study found that some 24,000 chil-

dren in developing countries were dying each day frompreventable causes like diarrhea resulting from lack of ac-cess to clean water for drinking and sanitation.The most obvious issue with seven billion of us here is

our profligate consumption of dwindling natural resourcesand the waste and pollution generated in the process. A re-cent joint study by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) andthe Worldwatch Institute found that humans now use 20percent more renewable resources than can be replacedeach year. And while many would say that climate changehas eclipsed overpopulation as the major issue of the day,others counter that atmospheric temperatures wouldn’t begrowing nearly as much if there weren’t so darn many ofus burning so many fossil fuels.Human population numbers are predicted to trend down-

ward around the world within a few generations. This so-called “demographic transition” is already underway in theU.S. and other developed countries where fertility rateshave dropped due to lower infant mortality, increased ur-banization and wider access to contraceptives. Given thatfertility rates drop as countries develop, and that lesser de-veloped countries have begun to leapfrog ahead in their ur-banization and adoption of technology, the United NationsPopulation Fund predicts that population may peak in thelate 21st century and then begin to shrink.

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 Saturday morning, a friendcalled to seek my advice on thatevening’s dinner.

“My boyfriend and I are making poached salmon withtruffles and shrimp in a cream sauce,” she said. “Whattype of wine should we drink?”I could see her conundrum. Salmon and shrimp suggest

a dry, refreshing white. But a cream sauce could bludgeona delicate wine. And anything red – even something softand light, like a Pinot Noir – probably wouldn’t comple-ment the dish.That’s why the answer was simple.“Just go with Champagne,” I answered. “It’ll work per-

fectly.”Later that evening, my friend confirmed that the wine

was an ideal match.“Plus,” she said, “It was fun to drink Champagne with

dinner, just like real wine.”Indeed.Year after year,

France’s big Cham-pagne houses spendmillions trying to con-vince us that Cham-pagne is best enjoyedwhen celebrating. Thatmight be true — afterall, wine shops see ahuge spike in salesaround New Year’s andValentine’s Day, and it isfun to drink Champagne on a special occasion.But Champagne and other sparkling wines deserve a

spot at the dinner table all year long. Most sparklers arecharacterized by vibrant acidity and freshness, which helpthem cut through spicy meals, complement savory food,and elevate even the simplest of dishes.Real Champagne is quite pricey, obviously. Under Eu-

ropean Union trade laws, wine can only be sold as

“Champagne” if it comes from the Champagne region ofFrance and is made in accordance with a number of reg-ulations. Most notably, Champagne must be made in the“traditional method” — an expensive, multi-step process— and produced, generally, from Chardonnay, PinotNoir, and Pinot Meunier. Consequently, even “budget”options cost about $40 per bottle.Fortunately, there are plenty of affordable sparkling

wines from regions outside Champagne.Within France, sparkling wines labeled as “Cremant”

are produced using the traditional method and winemak-ers must follow a number of strict rules. Sparkling winesfrom Burgundy — called Cremant de Bourgogne — havelong offered exceptional value. Because the region grows

the same grape varieties as Champagne,top examples can often pass for the realthing. And they’re typically just a frac-tion of the cost — many can be foundfor less than $20.In the United States, wines labeled as

“Methode Champenoise” are also pro-duced in the traditional method usingthe same grape varieties as Champagne.For about $25, it’s hard to beat the entrylevel bottlings from Domaine Carneros,Roederer Estate, and Argyle.For less than $15, Cava — a sparkling

wine from Spain that’s produced likeChampagne but using native Spanish grapes — is the bestoption.Of course, nothing beats the real thing. And fortunately

for American consumers, there’s never been a better timeto explore Champagne.For years, the American market has been dominated

by large producers like Moet & Chandon, Piper Heid-sieck, and Veuve Clicquot. These companies purchase

their grapes from growersacross Champagne andblend their wines to de-liver a consistent, highquality product year afteryear.In recent years, how-

ever, wine enthusiastshave gone gaga over“Grower Champagne,”

or wines made by the farmers who grow the grapes.Just as we understand why an apple grown in Virginia

tastes different from an apple grown in Massachusetts,we understand why a Chardonnay produced in Sonomatastes different from a Chardonnay produced in Napa.Champagne is no different. And Grower Champagneconveys a sense of place — something that large produc-ers simply can’t offer.Today, Grower Champagne accounts for only about 4

percent of America’s Champagne market. But that per-centage has been rising quickly, thanks to a few key wineimporters and America’s growing obsession with know-ing the source of our food. Indeed, wine enthusiasts callgrower Champagne “farmers’ fizz.”Grower Champagnes are still quite expensive. Basic

offerings from some of my favorites — Chartogne-Tail-let, Egly-Ouriet, Pierre Peters, and Vilmart — still costupwards of $50. But when compared to the large Cham-pagne houses, these wines represent a good value, asGrowers don’t have marketing expenses or bureaucraticbloat.So next time you feel like splurging, pick up a bottle

of Grower Champagne. And next time you sit down fordinner — especially if you’ve prepared something witha cream sauce — go for something that sparkles.

Moe News Than You Can Handle:Main Street Eyewear Looks at Life

Through Designer GlassesMoe Kanoudi

This should be posted in every school or kid's bed-room. Love him or hate him , he sure hits the nail

on the head with this.!!! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School

about eleven (11) things they did not and will not learnin school. He talks about how feel-good, politically cor-rect teachings created a generation of kids with no con-cept of reality and how this concept set them up forfailure in the real world. Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2: The world doesn't care about your self-esteem.The world will expect you to accomplish somethingBEFORE you feel good about yourself.Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right outof high school. You won't be a vice-president with acar phone until you earn both.Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till youget a boss Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity.Your Grandparents had a different word for burgerflipping: They called it opportunity.Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, sodon't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren'tas boring as they are now. They got that way from pay-ing your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to

you talk abouthow cool youthought youwere: So beforeyou save the rainforest from theparasites of yourparent's genera-tion, try delous-ing the closet inyour own room..Rule 8: Yourschool may havedone away withwinners and los-ers, but life HASNOT. In someschools, theyhave abolishedfailing gradesand they'll giveyou as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right an-swer. *This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance toANYTHING in real life.Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don'tget summers off and very few employers are interested

in helping you FINDYOURSELF. *Do that on your owntime.Rule 10: Television isNOT real life. In real lifepeople actually have toleave the coffee shop andgo to jobs.Rule 11: Be nice to nerds.Chances are you'll end upworking for one..

If you can read this...Thank a Teacher. If you can read this in

English... Thank a Soldier! And for life and every-

thing else you have...Thank God!! Now.... think about this

and smile if you agree and please pass this on.... If you don't agree, go stick your head in the SAND

and take a DEEP BREATH.!!!!

The most recent jobs report has been initiallyreceived as a “good news” reading of the

American economy. In return we saw a rally onWall Street. Stock prices rose. Bond yields alsorose, and the yield on the 10 year treasury raterose from 1.68% to 1.73% immediately after thereport. Mort-gage ratesmoved up insimilar fash-ion.The most re-

cent report an-nounced asignificant andunexpe c t e ddrop in the un-employmentrate from8.1% down to7.8%. Consid-ering that nopresident inAmerican his-tory has everbeen re-elected withan unemploy-ment rate over8.0% this waswelcomed asgood news by the Obama campaign. Romney’scamp was quick to disclaim the figures as “notreal recovery.” Could they both be correct?Another part of the report indicated that there

were 114,000 jobs created in the month of Sep-tember. Our country requires 125,000 new jobsper month just to keep up with immigration andpopulation growth. The net effect is that thereare still 11,000 more Americans without a joblast month. So how did the unemployment ratego down?Simply put, the details of these reports are not

fully disclosed by the mainstream media. As a

result, these reports are completely misunder-stood by the overwhelming portion of the Amer-ican public.The official unemployment rate, known as the

U-6 rate, as cited in these reports always comeswith an asterisk. This asterisk is completely vital

to understanding the shortcomings of the report.The official U-6 rate does not accountfor those Americans that have givenup looking for work. Even thoughthey are unemployed, theyare not considered in theofficial unemploymentrate.Those whose unemploy-

ment benefits have expiredare also not accounted intothe official unemploymentrate. If they are collecting

an unemploymentcheck, they are in-cluded. As soon as thatunemployment benefitexpires, they are nolonger considered

“ u n e m -p l o y e d , ”even if they’re still not working. Thismay have some readers scratchingtheir heads, but it’s true.So where can we turn to for real,

non-politicized numbers? The greatestmeasure of the strength or weaknessof a labor market is attained by look-ing at the Labor Force ParticipationRate (LFPR). This measure looks atall those in America that are of work-ing age (between 16 and 65) who areactually working. At 63.6%, thismeasure is at a 31 year low. In otherwords, there is a lower percentage ofable-bodied Americans supportingthemselves right now than at any othertime in the last 31 years. Should thisfigure catch on and gain media atten-tion, financial markets would beforced to accept just how dire the sit-uation really is. If and when that everhappens, the stock market would come

crashing down and mortgage rates wouldcome back down to yet another record low.

Regardless of whatthe calendar saysand how quickly

the pages turn, fall inHuntington Beach meansbetter surf. While othersaround the country arecarving pumpkins, hang-ing decorations, and try-ing to find the rightbalance between a warmcostume and a scary one,the seniors of HuntingtonBeach will be competingin the water, judged onwave selection, maneu-vers, fluidity, and style.Broken into five-year agegroups, starting at 50 yearsyoung, the Second Annual Senior Surf Invita-tional will take place on October 27 at 7:30 a.m.on the south side of the pier. The HBCOA andRodgers Senior Center’s goal of promoting ac-tive aging comes to fruition with this display of

athleticism and fun. Those interested in compet-ing need to register before October 19. Call theRodgers Senior Center for more details 714-536-9387 or visit www.HBSands.org orwww.HBCOA.org.
