Football Question: Please
help me with this...
F
or me...everyday is grandparents,
today, Sunday, September 9th is
National Grandparents Day. Since
I live it everyday...I do not need to be re-
minded too often. And, I know it is the
same for all the grandparents involved
with 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... then
I discovered grandchildren. Wow...what
a treat. And, you get to go home after the
experience...LOL
We can only hope that the feeling is
mutual with the children...at least some
of the time...
I remember my grand mother. I re-
member the stories, the amazement with
her stories growing up. I recall what a
treat it was to hear her stories and history.
Best part living the moment over again
and again living those memories through
my role of a grandparent with my kids.
National Grandparents Day, a secular
holiday, was first celebrated in the United
States in 1978. It was through the lobby-
ing efforts of Marian McQuade of Oak
Hill, West Virginia that the first Sunday
after Labor Day of each year be pro-
claimed National Grandparents Day. The
statutes purpose is to honor grandpar-
ents, give grandparents an opportunity to
show love for their children's children
and to help children become aware of
strength, information, and guidance older
people can offer.
Sure their is the obvious positive mo-
ment...but also a sad one when only the
memories are with us to celebrate. But
this can be good too if the memories are
talked about.
In any event...consider making Grand
Parent Day every day. It changed my life,
keeps me focus with goals..I believe
keeps me healthy and active and
alive...and trust me there are two moment
in my life that I live for.
First, when you walk in their house
and they put their arms out, run up to you
and say hi papa...and when you leave and
they come over and give you that special
hug and say buy papa.
On behalf of Sierra, Ownen and
Sage...Papa Dave.
National Grandparents Day
Live 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. As
the news media scrambled to identify the so-called "mystery speaker" scheduled to address
GOP delegates some speculated
that the iconic Hollywood fig-
ure could fit the bill.
Did Clint Eastwood make
Mitt Romney's day? I say a
r e s o u n d i n g
YES..because...had this
iconic Hollywood star read
his speech...from the
TelePrompTer he is more
than comfortable with...it
would have been just that...a
paid commercial. He spoke
from the heat...extemporane-
ously...he made his pints as a
real person...that's my story
and I am sticking to it.
Clint Was There
I
ts probably the most famous quote of the 20th
Century.
It was said by the first man on the moon, Neil
Armstrong, who died last week at the age of 82. It
was heard by over 600 million listeners around the
world.
As Armstrong stepped foot on the moon back in
1969, he uttered those famous words: One small
step 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 beyond
comprehension 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 to
have told reporters they
could not wear American
flag lapel pins or any other
patriotic insignia. The
network said that ABC
should remain as neutral
as possible.
The Truth:
The terrorist attacks on
America of September 11,
2001 resulted in a wave of patriotism that had not been seen
in 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 while
reporting 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 trying
to 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 "...it
may confuse the audience." She was also quoted as saying that there was
concern whether someone who decided not to wear a flag in the midst of
all 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 play
backup 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, Dallas
fired Wade Phillips and most of his staff.
After the Packers / Vikings game, Min-
nesota fired Brad Childress and most of his
staff.
Four weeks after losing to the Packers, the
49er's coach Mike Singletary and most of
his staff were fired and replaced.
During the Bears Playoff game, the Packers
injured Jay Cutler and backup Todd Collins
forcing the Bears to go with 3rd string
quarterback Caleb Hanie.
So here's the question..................
Is it just me, or did the Packers create
more jobs last year than the current
administration in Washington?
The ABC's of
Americanizm!

here's a reason more than 45,000 peo-
ple from around the World climbed
aboard the USS Iowa within the first
month at its new home (Berth 87). You've got
to see its astonishing outside, interesting in-
side and learn the amazing history of this
World 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 supporting
American landings at Okinawa, Japan in
1945. The company also is developing a
Game 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's
nicknamed, "The Battleship
of the Presidents" (FDR,
Reagan, Bush). During the
Second World War, the sen-
ior Bush was a Navy pilot,
who said when he looked
d o w n
and saw
t h e
Iowa, it gave he and his fel-
low flyers confidence in
their missions. It's interest-
ing to see the bathtub for the
disabled FDR, when he was
on his way to Tehran to meet
with Stalin and Churchill.
You'll stand in awe along-
side the 16-inch guns that
could send shells 24 miles
away to destroy enemy
ports, trains, bridges and
protect troops under attack.
Each gun could fire two
rounds per minute. Also
nicknamed, "The Big Stick,"
the vessel had the most de-
structive guns on any Amer-
ican warship. "The Iowa
could lay out more ordi-
nance in 1 1/2 hours of firing
than three waves of planes
from aircraft carriers and pi-
lots couldn't be shot down," explained Dave
Way, the friendly Curator for the non-profit
Pacific Battleship Center. For the past 10
years, the Iowa, which was launched in
1942 and decommissioned in 1990, was
resting in a Moth Ball Fleet in Suisun Bay,
east of San Francisco. The Battleship Center
was awarded custody of it in 2011. It arrived
in its new berth at the Port of Los Angeles
in June of 2012.
Way, a HB resident, said during the Ko-
rean War, the Iowa fired 4,500 shells, twice
as many as she did in WWII. He said that,
although unlikely, "because of the Iowa's
guns, she technically could be recalled to
action until 2020, if needed."
Onboard, you'll see upclose the Captain's
Quarters; the "Top of the House" (where
periscopes and lookout holes helped guide
and protect the ship during battles); the
Wardroom (where the officers ate and Bob
Hope and Ed Sullivan once told stories); the
18-inch steel bridge (where the captain was
stationed during battle); the Galley and
Mess (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 the
United 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 previous
battleships and able to stay with aircraft car-
rier task forces in WWII. Their anti-aircraft
firepower ensured carriers were not sunk.
You'll see the armor around the ship that
protected it even when a Japanese Shore
Battery hit it, causing only a slight hand im-
print size spot on the Forward Portion of
Turrett II. The impressive vessel that's al-
most three football fields long, was not only
heavily armored but fast, capable of travel-
ing more than 33 knots (38-40 mph). It also
was sometimes called, "The Armored
Oiler," because she could carry 2,400,000
gallons of fuel, Way said, and refuel de-
stroyers and frigates at sea.
You'll learn about Victory (sometimes
called "Vicky" or "Vickey"), the first Iowa
commander's dog, who joined the ship in
1943 and logged more than 200,000 miles
at sea. The canine even befriended FDR on
his trip across the Atlantic.
The Pacific Battleship Center eventually
would like to create a museum on land to
honor all battleships which played such a
critical role in our nation's freedom. We
congratulate the Center on what a wonder-
ful job they've done so far and what they
will 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 the
years 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 valid
Iowa Drivers License, you can board the
ship for free. It's open every day of the year,
except Thanksgiving and Christmas. You
can find out about tickets, parking, hours of
operation, what you'll see, how you can vol-
unteer, have a corporate party, and a lot
more at the website, http://www.pacificbat-
tleship.com/. The ship is at 250 So. Harbor
Blvd., San Pedro; Berth 87, Port of Los An-
geles. You can't miss it!

and an HB resident

Local Boys & Girls Club
DELIVERS...
T
he Huntington Valley Boys &
Girls Clubs really deliver di-
rectly to the neighborhoods
that need and benefit form a proven
program of youth development. This
week, Boys & Girls Clubs of Hunt-
ington Valley and Childrens Bureau
signed an agreement to bring the
Boys & Girls Clubs after school pro-
grams to the Oak View community.
On October 1, 2012, the Club will
launch its new Oak View Branch at
the Oak View Community Center
through a partnership with the Chil-
drens Bureau. The Oak View
Branch will be FREE for neighbor-
hood youth and the Club anticipates
serving 200-300 youth in the first full
year. From 2-5pm during the school
year, the hours when juvenile crime
is at its peak, BGCHV will provide
high quality programs for disadvan-
taged children that keep them en-
gaged in positive, fun and
educational activities rather than
home alone or out on the street get-
ting into trouble. This is especially
important in the Oak View neighbor-
hood where more than 95% of youth
are from low-income families and
the crime rate is twice that of the rest
of Orange County.
Club staff will offer Boys & Girls
Clubs of Americas proven, success-
ful programs as well as programs de-
veloped by the Clubs own highly
qualified staff. BGCHVs nationally
recognized afterschool activities
focus on five core areas: education
and career development, health and
life skills, the arts, character and
leadership development, and sports
and fitness. While all these areas will
be an important part of program-
ming, the new branch will place spe-
cial emphasis on 1) encouraging
youth to develop lifelong
healthy habits by teach-
ing fitness skills, nutri-
tion and cooking 2)
STEM (science, technology, engi-
neering and math) activities that will
reinforce and complement concepts
learned in school through fun, engag-
ing projects 3) arts activities to in-
spire childrens creativity.
The Clubs CEO Tanya Hoxsie
says, Our board and our staff all re-
ally feel that bringing the Boys &
Girls Club to Oak View is the right
thing for our community, the right
thing for the kids, and the right thing
for our organization. Weve been
working toward helping more fami-
lies in northwest Huntington Beach
for a long time. Weve been building
stronger ties with this part of the
community through our Twilight Ed-
ucation Projects growth this past
year. Now, thanks to the new Oak
View Branch, we can do even more
to make a difference to the kids in
our community who need the Club
the most.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Huntington

Power of
the People
Consent of the
Governed
By Syndicated Columnist A. Murphy
Amurphywriter@gmail.com
P
resident Obamas decision to offer a
two year deferment to foreign nation-
als living in the U.S. without docu-
mentation, has afforded individuals brought
to this country as children, an opportunity to
secure legal status. Some have viewed this
as a humane solution to the challenges fac-
ing innocent victims of circumstance. These
children, unlike their undocumented parents,
can often live the lives their families
dreamed about when deciding to enter the U.S. with the intent to
overstay a visa or by crossing a border illegally. The Children
can attend school and live, feel, and be like an American. That
is, until they reach adulthood, then they too will feel the plight of
the undocumented resident. For the children it can feel like an
act of betrayal or trickery. They know little else
other than being an American, yet they are not.
The United States is a generous and compas-
sionate nation. Our laws were established to
guarantee citizens ease of access to public serv-
ices. Our laws were not devised to seek out or
identify interlopers gaining a system intended for
legal residents and citizens. Sociologists refer to
this 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 from
American infrastructure without much effort.
We welcome them into our state funded pre-
schools, public schools and colleges. We offer
them emergency medical care in private hospitals
and routine medical care through public or charity hospitals. We
translate our documents into their language and bill the Federal
government when they are unable to pay for services. We birth
their children born on American soil and gift them citizenship and
in turn gift the undocumented parents even more access to public
services. The parents, on behalf of their American born children,
are entitled to public assistance, food assistance, medi-cal, and
subsidized 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 offer
birthright citizenship to the children of undocumented residents
or even legal residents. The parents must be naturalized citizens
in 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 for
1st place in the Education Index, which measures a nations lit-
eracy rate, an indicator for a high quality of life and a necessary
skill in a developed country. America is placed at 27th. Australia
and 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 amnesty
to 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 thus
become 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 of
grave concern to citizens. Our federal government has become
so complacent that America is witnessing foreign nationals
marching in our streets to demand their rights be honored. They
are demanding the full rights that citizenship provides. They are
demanding we set aside our immigration laws. They are demand-
ing we gift them the Amer-
ican dream they came in
search of. They are de-
manding this on the eve
of Obamas amnesty.
Our ambivalence has em-
powered them. Like their
children, they believe
they are Americans by the
act of living in America.
We have indeed cheap-
ened ourselves. America
is no longer a collective ideal but a means to an individual need
at 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 no
way to live. Gifting citizenship to people demanding it is no way
to maintain a sovereign nation. The Undocubus: Immigrants ride
for Freedom movement is touring six States while declaring their
undocumented status and demanding immigration reform. What
they 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 and
satisfy what he views as his newest constituency. America must
only rule by the will of the people and consent of the governed
not by executive orders! The most common way people give up
their power is by thinking they dont have any (Alice Walker,
Pulitzer Prize recipient).
S
pending time with my friends al-
ways turns political at one point
or another. Sometimes it gets
pretty heated and contentious, other
times we are able to find common
ground on some issues. A recent con-
versation was one of those "common
ground" days. Whether it was a Demo-
crat, Republican, Libertarian or Inde-
pendent asked their opinion, we all agreed on two
structural changes that need to be made to better our po-
litical system; set term limits for all levels of government
and 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 civic
duty that people took on for a few years and
then went back to their farms, businesses, law
firms or mills. Political machines (local party
voting infrastructure, redistricting power,
media contacts, etc.) of incumbents make it
very difficult to remove them from office.
Lobbyists and big-money campaign contrib-
utors usually direct their efforts at those in
power, making it difficult for a new candidate
to get off the ground. Politicians are less
likely to be focused on special interests and
pork-barrel spending if they cannot stay in office indefi-
nitely. There is less chance for corruption of government
officials if time in office is limited; new politicians are
less likely to have the knowledge to exploit the system for
personal gain and are more skeptical of lobbyists & spe-
cial interests. Politicians with a short and defined term of
office are more likely to ignore politics and media criti-
cism to target what's best for the country, and they can
work to establish tangible accomplishments that will build
on their legacy.
Limiting Political Donations:
This means eliminating the "soft money" from politics
and relying on only "hard money" donations and equally
distributed public financing. This idea that corporations
or unions are people has been falsely created by the
lawyers from those entities that have the money to ma-
nipulate, in this case common sense. Corporations and
Unions 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 Speech
is a right given to
us all equally. The
inherent equality of
free speech is just
as important as the
speech itself.
Equality of free
speech is dimin-
ished when the
message has a larger
audience simply because he/she has more money. Money
creates an inequality of free speech that contradicts the
idea of "one person, one voice, one vote". Elections aren't
the only place where "soft money" needs to be restruc-
tured. Lobbying by definition is the practice of trying to
influence the thinking of legislators or other public offi-
cials for or against a specific cause. Influence is done
with 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 old
days" is different for all of us. What were the good old
days to my parents are different to what they are for me
and I am convinced that there is a generation of people
now that will one day look back to today as the good old
days, but these are fundamental changes that the clock
needs to turned back on, sooner rather than later.
As always, if you have any questions, comments or con-
cerns please send them to kevin_garofalo@verizon.net.
God bless you and God bless the United States of
America.

I do not support Measure Z because: We are contractually obligated to continue municipal
benefits anyhow. Enacting this measure will take away general funds already in need, and
at 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 fiscal
crisis 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 California
cities have. Employee benefits should have to compete with all the other city needs in the
budgetary process.
Pensions have gotten out of control since this tax was approved. Citizens of HB should
no longer be burdened with this tax. Pensions should be part of the General Fund just
as other city expenses.
I am opposed to Measure Z. After 5 years of budget cutting, Measure Z will make it more
difficult 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 irreparably
impacted. The Citys loss of $4.2 million will affect core services, i.e., infrastructure and
public safety, which will be cut to its minimum levels in years.
Im for it
I support Measure Z - it elevates the issue so all voters can see the challenge we have
had getting public employees to pay their full share. it will end our HB property owners
subsidizing pension benefits.
I support the citizens of HB. If Measure Z passes, we'll have to cut over $4+ million from
current Budget. Staff recommendations if it passes...will create dangerously low levels
of Public Safety coverage -we have smart, less political solutions..
Tax is unfair as property owners are not the only benefactors of police services. police
costs need to be from general fund. However,I prefer a phase-in 3-5 years providing time
to adjust budgets.
I support Z. It's time to end prohibition and the resulting profits to crime syndicates, and
replace this with regulated, taxable, sales.
I support Measure Z because: It relieves taxpayers from a tax that shouldnt be. It should
have been done years ago or during the last charter review, but leaving it to our elected
officials has not got the job done.

ELECTION EDITION
Positions on Measure Z:
Revocation of a public safety retirement tax
A
t a July meeting, the Board of
Trustees voted to place a local ed-
ucation funding measure on the
November ballot: Measure M. This fis-
cally responsible plan to address the needs
of local students and the community was
developed 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 needs
of Orange Coast College, Golden West
College, and Coastline College students.
Due to the rising cost of attending a public
university in California, more local stu-
dents are relying on Coast Colleges to help
them save moneyas much as $35,000
as they pursue their four-year degree. Our
students will be better prepared for
four-year universities through the expan-
sion of course opportunities in science,
technology, engineering, and math
(STEM). Additionally, Coast Colleges job
training and workforce preparation will
keep students competitive for high-skill
jobs, which drive the local economy.
Support Active Military,
Returning Veterans, and
the Community
Coast Colleges currently serve more
than 18,000 active military service men
and women, their families, and Veterans
annually. The measure will allow Coast
Colleges to expand their Veteran services
and facilities to ensure that they receive
the 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 and
the senior community.
Repair and Upgrade
Aging Classrooms
Many of the buildings on each of the
campuses were built in the 1960s which
require repair and upgrades for outdated
electrical systems, wiring and equipment
for computer technology and 2 internet ac-
cess. Upgrades are also needed for career
and vocational classrooms, labs and equip-
ment for 21st century jobs and careers.
The measure would fund the removal of
asbestos and repair decaying walls,
drainage systems and leaking roofs, as
well 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, independent
annual audits, independent citizens over-
sight, and no money for administrator
salaries. Only $17.97/year per $100K of as-
sessed property value would be needed to
fund the $698 bond measure, which supports
local education and the community.
Coast District Trustees Approve Local Education Bond
Measure M to Appear on the November Ballot

ased on the reactions from the parties after an
arbitration panel ruled last week that the Boun-
tygate suspensions violated the NFLs
Collective Bargaining Agreement, the average
person might think they knew who won and
who lost. But this isnt your average case.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sus-
pended four players for periods ranging from
four months to a year for allegedly engaging
in a pay-for-injury scheme while all four were
members of the New Orleans Saints in 2009.
Goodell found that the players participated in
a bounty program which paid bonuses for hits
that injured an opponent.
The suspensions were based on a determi-
nation that the payments to players violated a
salary cap provision in the CBA. In its deci-
sion, the panel said Special Master Stephen
Burbank has jurisdiction over such matters,
not Goodell. The panel went on to say that al-
though Goodell could not punish the players
for salary cap violations, he does have the au-
thority to punish them for conduct detrimental
to the game.
The decision was welcome news to the
players, all of whom were immediately rein-
stated, making them eligible to play in last
weekends season-opening games. But the question on
everyones mind is, for how long? The panels 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 league
adopted a strident
tone, suggesting that
the commissioner
would revisit the issue
to determine what
punishment would be
imposed. But even
though the players
victory may be hollow
and short-lived, that
doesnt mean its in-
significant.
Whether the punish-
ment handed down by
the league is based on
one section of the
CBA or another may
appear to be irrelevant.
After all, a suspension
by any definition is a
suspension. But make
no mistake, regardless
of how Goodell elects to
proceed, 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 NFLPA
have long maintained that Goodell deems himself to be
omnipotent, acting as judge, jury and executioner on
all matters related to player discipline.
According to some observers, Goodells role in
Bountygate is itself an example of his lust for power.
Rather than allow one of his lieutenants in the league
office, Art Shell or Ted Cottrell, both of whom have ju-
risdiction over on-field infractions, to sit in judgment
of the players, Goodell elected to exert his own powers
as commissioner. In hindsight, the move was a mis-
calculation, resulting in an embarrassing setback.
As Yogi Berra famously said, it aint over till its
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 be
the case in Bountygate.

G
reg Peters joined the City
of Huntington Beachs
Tree Maintenance divi-
sion as a part time employee be-
fore being hired on full time in
October of 1989. Greg has suc-
cessfully worked his way through
the ranks to Equipment Operator,
his current position that he has
held for 23 years.
Greg has
made sub-
stantial con-
tributes to
both Tree
Maintenance
and the City
at large. In
addition to
his day to
day Tree
Maintenance
duties like
t r i m m i n g
and main-
taining the
Citys 70,000-plus trees, Greg has
participated in numerous Arbor
Day celebrations, Eagle Scout
projects and Huntington Beach
Tree Society events.
Gregs positive attitude towards
his profession is contagious and he
is well received by co-workers and
residents alike. Greg is an asset to
the City and is one of the reasons
Tree Maintenance has been able to
consistently do more with less.
Greg was active in sports at Edi-
son High School and has contin-
ued his athletic hobbies long after
he graduated from Edison. He
participates in a recreational
slow-pitch softball league here in
Huntington Beach. He also
coaches his two daughters in soc-
cer and softball. When hes not
busy at work or on the field, you
can find him spending time with
his wife and two daughters going
camping, golfing and off-roading.
Greg was presented the Mayor's
Award at the August 20, 2012

FV
Patch reporter John Crandall
pains a picture of tradition and
duty as FVPD fills some slots..."For-
mer soldier and a man following in his
familys footsteps are the two newest
members of the Fountain Valley police
force.
Officers Ryan Cea and Marcus Zap-
pia took their oath of office at City
Hall Tuesday afternoon, joining the
ranks of the Fountain Valley Police
Department.
Though the oath makes it official,
Zappia, an Aliso Viejo Native, actually
started a few weeks ago and Marcus,
who grew up in Antelope Valley, will
start sometime this week.
Both were hired from the Brea Po-
lice Department. Zappia was hired by
Brea PD in November 2011 and Cea
was hired in November 2010.
After FVPD Police Chief Dan
Llorens administered the oath, Ceas
father pinned the badge on his son and
Zappias mother pinned the badge on
hers.
Cea and Zappias addition to the
force keeps the number of sworn offi-
cers at 58.
According to Llorens, the FVPD has
had one recent retirement and another
retirement coming up soon.
Zappias father is a patrol sergeant in
Brea and his brother, Mike, is an Or-
ange County Sheriffs deputy.
Cea served in the Marine Corps from
2003 to 2010.
Zappia said that he feels hes follow-
ing in the footsteps of his father and
brother.
Cea said that the whole thing is ex-
citing and that hes happy that he has
the opportunity.
Cea's Background
According to Llorens, Cea spent his
childhood and teen years in Antelope
Valley. After graduating high school he
joined the Marine Corps infantry in
2003. He reached the rank of sergeant
by his fourth year and was discharged
in 2010.
His personal decorations include the
Navy and Marine Corps Achievement
Medal and the Marine Corps Good
Conduct Medal. He is also a rifle and
pistol expert.
At the Orange County Sheriffs
Academy, which he graduated from in
May 2010, he received an A in each
academic category and was named Top
Marksman.
He served the Brea Police Depart-
ment starting in November 2010 and is
working towards his bachelor's degree
in business management.
Zappia's Background
According to Llorens, Zappia was
born and raised in Aliso Viejo, and at-
tended Saddleback College. Zappia is
currently working on a bachelor's de-
gree in business management as well.
His father is a patrol sergeant at Brea
police department, his brother is a
deputy with the Orange County Sher-
iffs Department, and his stepmother is
a district attorney investigator with
Riverside County.
As a police cadet with Anaheim Po-
lice Department for two years, he was
assigned to work the front counter,
homicide detail and robbery detail and
as a court liaison.
He attended Fullerton Police Acad-
emy and graduated fifth out of 51 re-
cruits. He also received top recruit
awards for shooting and field scenar-
ios.
He was hired by the Brea Police De-
partment in November 2011.

P
eg Perego USA Inc., has recalled about
223,000 strollers due
to a risk of entrapment
and strangulation. A six-
month old baby boy from
Tarzana died of strangulation
after his head was trapped
between the seat and the tray
of his Peg Perego stroller in
2004. Another baby, a seven
month-old girl from New
York, NY, Nearly strangled
when her head became
trapped between the seat and
the tray of her stroller in
2006.
Entrapment and strangula-
tion can occur, especially to
infants younger than 12
months of age, when a child is
not harnessed. An infant can
pass through the opening between the seat and the
seat bottom, but his/her
head and neck can become
entrapped by the tray. In-
fants that become entrapped
at the neck are at risk of
strangulation. The recall involves two different
older versions of the
Peg Perego strollers.
Venezia and Pliko-P3
manufactured be-
tween January 2004
and September 2007,
in a variety of colors.
They were manufac-
tured prior to 2008
voluntary industry
standard which ad-
dresses the height if
the opening between
the strollers tray and
the seat bottom. The
voluntary standard
requires larger stroller
openings that prevent
infant entrapment and
strangulation hazards.
Only strollers that have a child tray with one
cup holder are
part of this re-
call. Strollers
with a bumper
bar in front of
the child or a tray with two cup holders are not
included in this recall. The strollers were sold at
various retailers nationwide, including Babies R
Us and Buy Buy Baby from January 2004
through September 2010 for between $270 and
$330 for the Pliko P-3 stroller and between $350
and $450 for the Venezia stroller. They were
manufactured in Italy.
Consumers should immediately stop using the
recalled strollers and contact the firm for a free
repair kit. Do not return the stroller to the retail-
ers as they will not be able to provide the repair
kit. For additional information call Peg Perego
at (888) 734-6020 anytime or visit the com-
panys website at ww.PegPeregoUSA.com
CPSC and Perego warn consumers that these
strollers may be available on the secondhand
market in thrift stores or at
yard sales. Consumers
should not buy or sell these
recalled strollers until the
repair kit is installed.

Dear Earth-
Talk: I imagine
youve been down
this road before, but
whats hot in the green-friendly sunscreen department
nowadays? ~ 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 to
slather on any of the widely avail-
able sunscreens on the market
today. But the non-profit Environ-
mental Working Group (EWG)
points out that this may not be the
case, and that consumers should be
careful about which sunscreens
they trust for themselves and, even
more important, for their kids.
According to EWG, some re-
searchers have detected an in-
creased risk of melanoma skin
cancer among sunscreen users. No
one knows the cause, but scientists
speculate that sunscreen users stay
out in the sun longer and absorb
more radiation overall, reports
EWG. Scientists also suspect, says
EWG, that free radicals, which get
released as sunscreen chemicals
break down in sunlight, may be
playing 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 more
damaging ultraviolet A (UVA) rays that penetrate deeper
into the skin and may facilitate the development of skin
cancer 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 bodys DNA
and skin cells, accelerating skin aging and potentially
causing skin cancer in the process.
But just because some sunscreens cant be trusted and
overexposure to the sun is unhealthy doesnt mean stay-
ing indoors all the time is a viable solution. Getting
some sun is good for you, as the body converts it to Vi-
tamin D, an essential nutrient that facilitates good health
and prevents a wide range of diseases.
So whats a sun lover to do? The International Agency
for Research on Cancer (IARC) recommends wearing
protective clothing, seeking shade, and timing outdoor
play to avoid peak sun. IARC adds that sunscreen still
has a place in our lives to augment these other sun ex-
posure minimization tactics.
But which sunscreens do live up to EWGs stringent
standards? The major choice is between chemical sun-
screens that break down quickly, penetrate deep into the
skin and may disrupt the bodys hormone system, and
mineral varieties that can contain potentially irritating
and 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 dont contain as many dan-
gerous substances. Some leading mineral-based options
come from Alba Botanica, Beyond Coastal, ECO Log-
ical Skin Care, Karens Botanicals, Kiss My Face,
Poofy Organics and Solar Sense, among others.
For those who dont like mineral based sun-
screens, which can be chalky and leave a white
film until washed off, EWG recommends sun-
screens with avobenzone (three percent for the
best UVA protection) and without the notorious
hormone disrupter oxybenzone. Some leading
non-mineral choices are available from manufac-
turers including Bull Frog, Ocean Potion, Sun-
bow and Vichy.

How Does This
Stack up -HB?
D
ave Rice, from the San
Diego Reader suggests
there could be less smoke
and no mirrors..."The California
Energy Commission is reviewing
a proposal to build two new natu-
ral gas power plants on the site of
two similar existing plants in
Huntington Beach that had been
retired but were returned to serv-
ice in the wake of the emergency
shutdown of San Onofre Nuclear
Generating Station, the news
service Reuters reports.
The new proposed electric gen-
erating units
would pro-
duce up to
9 3 9
me ga wa t t s
of power, a
bit less than
half the ca-
pacity lost
when San
Onofre went
offline. The
units would
also use a
dry cool-
ing system,
which would not require ocean
water to be cycled through them,
a requirement of new California
Air Resources Board standards
that put nearly 17,000 megawatts
of existing generating capacity in
jeopardy. The new plants would
nearly double the generating ca-
pacity of the Huntington Beach
site, which was initially shuttered
because operator AES intends to
transfer pollution credits to a new
facility set to open next year in
the 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 may
only pay for one of the two pro-
posed units."
Ed Note: So, I would think the
community would be joyous over
this -particularly SE HB reisdnets.
David White, a wine writer, is the founder
and editor of Terroirist.com. His columns are
housed at Wines.com, the fastest growing wine
portal on the Internet.
R
estaurant 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 wines
that were easily found at your local liquor store.
Today, though, high-end restaurants are staffed
with hip sommeliers who are better described as
wine educators, eager to discuss the interaction of
wine 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 youve
ordered, making sure the label is
facing upwards. After
opening the wine,
shell present you
with the cork. Fi-
nally, shell pour
you a small taste of
the wine and wait for
your approval.
Knowing what to do
and when its appropri-
ate to reject a wine can
be nerve-wracking. But it
neednt be. Heres all you
need to know.
Checking the label is easy.
Its presented simply to confirm
that the server has pulled the bot-
tle you ordered so check the
producer, variety, and vintage. Mis-
takes can and do happen, especially
when restaurants are busy.
Inspecting the cork is almost as
simple.
For starters, theres no need to smell it. Instead,
check to see if its streaked or drenched with wine.
If it is, the wine might be heat-damaged, as heat
causes wine to expand and push against the cork. But
youll need to smell the wine to make sure, as it
could also mean that the bottle was overfilled. Also
check 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, youll
need to smell the wine to make sure.
Note that if a cork is covered in little
white crystals that look like sugar,
theres nothing to worry about. Its
simply tartaric acid, a natural
byproduct of wine, and those crys-
tals are tasteless, odorless, and
harmless.
Analyzing the wine comes
next. So give the wine a swirl
to help release its aromas and
stick your nose in the glass.
Most flaws can be detected
by your nose alone, but
dont hesitate to also taste
the wine.
If the wine is affected
by TCA, or cork taint,
the fruit will be
masked by aromas
reminiscent of wet
cardboard or a
damp basement. A
2005 study by Wine
Spectator found that this flaw
impacts about one in 15 bottles.
If the wine has been
exposed to high tem-
peratures or is oxidized
from poor storage, it
will likely seem flat,
with muted aromas and
minimal flavor. Some-
times, oxidized wine
can 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 shes fa-
miliar with the wine, shell be able to let you know
if something is off. And if shes not familiar with it,
shell probably trust your judgment or have someone
with more expertise come to the table.
If the wine is in good condition, tell your server.
Shell then pour it for everyone at the table.
Keep in mind that the taste isnt poured to find out
if you like the wine. If its simply not to your liking,
theres a good chance the restaurant wont take it back.
That said, restaurants value customer service. So dont
hesitate to explain to your server why you dislike the
wine. The restaurant might replace the bottle.
Of course, the best way to avoid ordering a wine you
wont 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 thats available by
the glass and ask your server for a small sample.
Ordering wine at a restaurant is fun its an op-
portunity to try unique wines and elevate your meal.
So dont let the pomp and circumstance of wine
service intimidate you.

R
iley Breckenridge of SB Nations
gives the woreld a scoop..."The An-
gels added
two more players
to their roster on
Tuesday after-
noon, calling up
catcher Hank
Conger and right-
handed pitcher
Barry Enright
from Triple-A
Salt Lake City,
according to
Mike DiGio-
vanna of the Los
Angeles Times.
Conger, a grad-
uate of Hunting-
ton Beach High
School, hit .295 with 10 home runs and 45
RBI in 67 games for the Bees in 2012 while
battling a nagging shoulder injury. He will
be the fourth catcher on the Halos roster,
joining Chris Iannetta,
B o b b y
Wi l s o n
and John Hester, and will most likely be
used as a left-handed bat off the bench.
Enright, a product of Pepperdine Univer-
sity, was acquired in a trade
with the Arizona Diamond-
backs for infielder Frazier Hall
on July 24, 2012. He struggled
at Triple-A Reno at the begin-
ning of the year, posting an 8-6
record with a 5.87 ERA and a
1.53 WHIP, but bounced back
after the trade and went 5-1 for
the Bees, posting a 2.73 ERA
and a 1.16 WHIP in 52 2/3 in-
nings. He could be called upon
as a long reliever or put on
mop-up duty for the Halos
down the stretch."

Water and Wildlife...
As Critical As All Of
Water Relationships
L
ast month I intro-
duced you to the
Orange County
Water Districts
(OCWD) operations
that extend into the
upper watershed of
the Santa Ana River
with 465 acres of re-
stored wetlands
above Prado Dam in
Riverside County and how that benefits residents all the way
to Huntington Beach.
Prado Dam is owned
and operated by the
U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps),
and it plays an im-
portant role in what
happens down-
stream in Orange
County.
OCWD was
formed in 1933 by
the state legislature
to manage and pro-
tect Orange
Countys groundwa-
ter basin (Aquifer)
from depletion and
irreparable damage. The
District, in order to ensure an adequate supply for all even
during drought periods and rapid population growth, strived
to fulfill its mandate. The Santa Ana River is the main source
of recharge for the groundwater basin, and consists primarily
of tertiary treated wastewater discharged from upstream. The
river also receives storm flows, natural run-off, and rising
groundwater, especially during winter months.
Above-average rainfall from 1937 to 1944 yielded boun-
tiful runoff for natural recharge. In fact, some of the heaviest
rain ever recorded occurred in 1938. A storm hit February
27th and did not subside until five days later. Ten inches fell
on the fourth day alone, at times measuring two inches an
hour. 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 Ana
River had been lost to the ocean because flood control took
precedence over water conservation. To lower the water pool
behind the dam, the Corps would release water that would
rush past the Districts
diversion channel and
out to sea.
A landmark agree-
ment in 1995 between
OCWD, the Corps, and
the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, raised
the water conservation
level behind Prado
Dam, nearly doubling
the amount of valuable
water that can be stored
behind the dam. The
agreement between the
agencies was the
culmination of
years of cooper-
ative efforts to
enhance the
water conserva-
tion and envi-
r o n m e n t a l
values of Prado
Basin. Prado
Dam 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, threatened
and endangered species. The Corps had allowed water con-
servation only as an incidental function of the dam. In simple
terms, the new agreement means that water releases are
slower, consistent and done in cooperation with OCWD.
Staff is now able to capture and percolate more water as it
flows 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 at
Prado that could provide almost an additional 900 million
gallons of water annually for recharge, enough water for
nearly 250,000 people. The study would help save ratepay-
ers in the region up to $24 million annually by avoiding the
high cost of importing water from Northern California or
the Colorado River, while also reducing our dependence on
those sources. An important point not to be missed is that
increasing the amount of water captured at Prado can be im-
plemented without any costly construction or infrastructure
modifications.
To learn more about OCWDs innovative groundwater
management operations, go to www.OCWD.com, or better
yet plan to attend a tour of our facilities. Tour information is
available on the website.
Cathy Green was elected to OCWD in
November 2010. She served two terms
on the Huntington Beach City Council
and was Mayor twice. Huntington
Beach has been home to the Green

fter rigorous preparation, Fountain Valley Regional Hospital (FVRH) has earned certi-
fication by the California Childrens Services (CCS) for its 11-bed Pediatric ICU. CCS
certification for the PICU completes the hospitals 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 hospital
choice for their sick and critically ill chil-
dren who have a CCS eligible medical
condition. Currently, there is only one
other CCS-certified Pediatric Intensive
Care Unit serving all of Orange County.
Last year, a third of the hospitals Pe-
diatric ICU admissions were transfers
from other hospitals emergency depart-
ments. Fountain Valley Regional Hospi-
tal has streamlined systems for pediatric
admissions, including round-the-clock
pediatric hospitalists and intensivists.
These high level pediatric specialists
work closely with the hospitals ER to
coordinate all aspects of inpatient care for sick and critically ill children in the hospitals 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. They
can also rest assured that high standards of quality are being met in their own community at
Fountain Valley Regional Hospital, notes Lisa Sperry RN, BSN, MHA, CCRN; Director of
Pediatrics, NICU & PICU.

O
ver the course of more than ten
years, Chef Peter Phan has de-
veloped quite the eclectic back-
ground. While attending culinary school
at the Art Institute of California, Peter
supplemented his education with practi-
cal experience at Five Feet Restaurant, a
fine-dining, French-
Asian fusion restaurant
in Laguna Beach.
There, Peter learned the
importance of not only
creating delectable
meals but offering
unique, aesthetically
pleasing presentations
as well.
After finishing culi-
nary school, Peter
worked at Alta Vista
Country Club. There, he
continued enhancing his
culinary experience
while simultaneously
embracing the service
aspect of the job, a vital
component of the restaurant industry.
Peter subsequently worked at Mr. Vs
Steakhouse, where he continued to expand
his knowledge in the art of fine dining.
Prior to joining SeaCliff Country Club
recnently, Peter served as Executive
Chef for Nordstroms Restaurant Group.
Beyond the exceptional customer service
Nordstrom instills, Nordstrom provided
Peter with the management experience
he demonstrates today.
Peter welcomes new
ideas, constructive criti-
cism, and challenges.
Peter is truly honored to
be a part of the SeaCliff
Country Club team and
anxiously awaits the op-
portunity to serve you
as a member, as an
aficionado, but, most of
all, as a friend.

F
or the second time this year, Washington
politicians are raising the cost of getting a
mortgage. This might confuse many readers who
are aware that mortgage rates are currently at
record lows, but its true. The government raised
the cost of getting a conventional mortgage back
in January, and now theyre doing it again.
Mortgage rates move up and down primarily on
fluctuations in bond prices. As the yield goes
down on specific mortgage-backed secu-
rities, mortgage rates also move
lower. Added to
this fluctuation
bond price is
a hard cost which the banks pay to Fannie Mae
or Freddie Mac to guarantee the loan. Known as
the g-fee, this is essentially the cost the banks
pay to insure the loan and hedge against any
losses in the event of default. When Fannie and
Freddie were public companies, this g-fee re-
mained unchanged for decades. But as with
many other aspects of a government takeover,
that has all changed.
When the government raised the g-fee in
January 2012, it was to pay for a temporary
extension of the payroll tax credit.
And whenever the government
raises a fee or tax, it never comes
back down. The g-fee is not
scheduled to come down
when the payroll tax credit
expires. Quite the con-
trary. The government
just announced that
they will be increas-
ing the g-fee yet
again.
No one seemed to notice
the last g-fee increase. For-
tunately for American
homeowners mortgage
bond yields dropped by
more than enough to cover
the increase that would
have been caused
by the fee spike
alone. Otherwise mort-
gage rates might be as
much as 0.125% lower
right now. In other
words, highly qualified
homeowners would be
able to qualify for a 30
year 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 the
g-fee again on all loans delivered to Fannie and
Freddie as of December 1, 2012. The increase
will be slightly less this time and only expected
to create an increase in rate of approximately
0.05%. All in all, the increase of 0.175% equates
to a difference of slightly over $10 per month
for every $100,000 financed.
The only silver lining here is the reason
behind the move. The additional revenue
generated by the g-fee increase opens the
door to the re-privatization of these agencies
by shoring up their balance sheets and mak-
ing them more attractive to future buyers.
Once Fannie and Freddie are back out from
under the governments heavy thumb, per-
haps homeowners will be able to get some
reprieve from the overabundance of legisla-
tive red-tape that has made the process of re-
financing more difficult than it needs to be
for many, and sometimes completely prohib-
itive for others.

The information contained in this column
does not necessarily reflect
the opinion of The Local News.
A
highly touted aircraft that can fly 3,500 miles
per hour and was built by local engineers,
crashed into the ocean Thursday during a test
flight.
The LosaAlamitos-SealBeachPatch hooked us up
with Flash Gorden type breaking news..."The X-51A
Waverider is mounted under the wing of a B-52 at Ed-
wards AFB Calif., in preparation of
its August 14 test flight. On a pre-
vious flight, the X-51A flew for
more than three minutes at Mach
4.88 under scramjet power. US Air
Force and Boeing
The test flight of a aircraft that
can travel at six times the speed of
sound, crashed into the Pacific
Ocean Thursday before it could get
up to speed because of a faulty part,
according to the Air Force.
Built, in part, by local aerospace
engineers at Boeings Huntington
Beach plant, the revolutionary X-
51A WaveRider is a jet-fueled, air
breathing hypersonic vehicle that can travel at speeds
reaching 3,500 miles per hour, according to Boeing.
Its success would hold significant promise for space
exploration, spying and transportation.
"It is unfortunate that a problem with this subsystem
caused 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 a
written release. "All our data showed we had created
the right conditions for engine ignition and we were
very hopeful to meet our test objectives.
"This particular
control subsystem
had proven reliable
in the previous two
flights of the X-51A
including the his-
toric May 2010
flight when the Wa-
verider flew for
more than three min-
utes at Mach 4.88
under scramjet
power - nearly five
times the speed of
sound.
According to the
Boeing, The X-51A Waverider is setting the founda-
tion for several hypersonic applications, including ac-
cess to space, reconnaissance-strike, global reach and
commercial transportation.
