OLD Mayor NEW Mayor

L
et's start with a typical "Charter City"
organization like Huntington Beach, Ca.
What is a City Manager? Imagine your
city government as a football team, with skilled
players and keen instincts, ready to lead a drive
to the goal line. On the field is the City Council,
acting in every way as the citys coaching staff.
The Council scopes out the challenges ahead, devises
the plays, and prepares the team for success, but
no matter how exciting the plans are, they cant
be implemented without the quarterback.
City Managers like Fred Wilson act like
quarterbacks; they relay the plans from the coach
to the team, and organize the city employees to
move the ball down the field for a touchdown.
They are the vital connection between planning
and execution that every city depends on. City
Managers oversee the operations and finances of
cities to make sure the City Councils policy
direction becomes a reality.
Politically, the elected officials bridge the gap
between what the "professional" managers
recommend the City Government does and what
the priorities of the people are. A good example
would be annual designation of intersections
where Traffic Signals go. Staff might make their
recommendation based on statistics, engineering
criteria while the Mayor and council might react
to pressure from residents because of
a recent accident or proximity to
school..and so the process goes.

THOMAS A. FUENTES
Dear Local News:
This bio is about a great American, a very
good friend but above all about a person who
has spent his life giving to the causes he believed
in. Yes, partisan to some degree...but that is who
Tom Fuentes is.
Thomas A. Fuentes walked his first precinct as
a Republican volunteer in 1960, at age 12, for
the re-election campaign of Republican United
States Congressman Gordon L. McDonough
of California and for Richard M. Nixon
for President.
As a student attending Transfiguration
Catholic School in Los Angeles, Fuentes met
fellow parishioner Congressman McDonough. He
rode in the congressional campaigns sound truck,
speaking on the public
address system, and
distributed the congress-
mans brochures door
to door.
In 1962, along with his
family, he moved to
Orange County in time to
work in the Nixon for
Governor campaign as a
member of the Southwest
Orange County Teen Age
Republican Club of which
he became president and
in which he was active

NEW
SUNDAY
BRUNCH
RACHEL ZOLL (Associated
PressAP ) sends a blessing with this
report..."...Every Sunday for a very
long time, Roman Catholic priests
have offered the blessing "Lord be
with you." And each Sunday, parish-
ioners (including me) responded,
"And also with you."
Not any more....
Beginning Nov. 27, response is,
"And with your spirit." And so
will begin a small revolution in a
tradition-rich faith.
Parishes in English-speaking
countries will begin to use a new
translation of the Roman Missal, the
ritual text of prayers and instructions
for celebrating Mass. International
committees of specialists worked under
a Vatican directive to get back to Latin
translation, causing some to protests
because of the new translation...some
2000 years later. OK, it is said that
this has been years in coming, years
in preparation... years of revisions
negotiated by Clergy conferences
and the Vatican.
Biggest challenge is for priests, they
are human too and must re-learn what
they done the same way all their
religious lives... just like the parishioners...
except the Priest's have microphones
and what they say can be heard by all.
AP reported..."at an Archdiocese of
Newark training at St. Peter the Apostle
Church in River Edge,
many clergy had just received a final
published copy of the Missal, a thick
hardcover bound in red, accompanied
by an equally dense study guide. Earlier
drafts had been available for orientation
sessions that have been ongoing for
months nationwide.
AP also reports that some clergy are
upset by the new language, calling
it awkward and hard to understand.
Further AP quotes...The Rev. Tom
Iwanowski, pastor of St. Joseph Roman
Catholic Church in Oradell and New
Milford, N.J., turned to the section of
the new missal that calls funeral rites,
"the fraternal offices of burial."
In the new translation, in the Nicene
Creed, the phrase "one in Being
with the Father," will change to
"consubstantial with the Father." When
a priest prays over the Holy Communion
bread and wine, he will ask God for
blessings "by sending down your spirit
upon them like the dewfall."
Apparently, The new missal grew out
of changes in liturgy that started with
the Second Vatican Council, the 1960s
meetings on modernizing the church
that permitted Mass in local languages
instead of Latin. Bishops in English-
speakingcountries createdthe International
Commission on English in the Liturgy
to undertake the translation. The panel
produced a missal by 1973, but that
version was considered temporary until
better texts could be completed. As the
commission worked to make the Mass
more familiar in idiomatic English,
some of the
l a n g u a g e
strayed from
the Latin.
Also in some
cases, the
commi ssi on
s ought t o us e
language that would be
gender neutral.
Then, AP continues...the work
took a new direction in 2001, when the
Vatican office in charge of worship
issued the directive Liturgiam Authen-
ticam, or Authentic Liturgy, which
required translations closer to the Latin.
The Vatican also appointed another
committee, Vox Clara, or Clear Voice,
to oversee the English translation,
drawing complaints from some clergy
and liturgists that the Vatican was
controlling what should be a more
consultative process. (Cardinal George
Pell, the Sydney, Australia, archbishop
and chairman of Vox Clara, has
called the complaints baseless and
ideologically driven.)
Also reported..."The Rev. Anthony
Ruff, a Benedictine monk and theology
professor at St. John's University in
Minnesota, said he was removed last
year as head of the music panel of the
international translating commission
because of criticisms he posted on his
blog. In an open letter to U.S. bishops
published in the Jesuit magazine
America, Ruff canceled his plans to
speak on the text to diocesan priests
because, "I cannot promote the new
missal translation with integrity."
In South Africa, church officials
accidentally introduced much of the
new text in parishes ahead of schedule
in late 2008, generating similar
complaints about ponderous language,
although church officials now say most
parishioners have adapted.
Local Parishes and others around the
United States spent the
summer trying to prepare
church members for
what's ahead. Priests have
been discussing the
changes in homilies,
in notices in parish
bulletins, and in work-
shops. What next... poster-
sized laminated cue cards
for parishioners as the new
text is introduced! Stay
tuned...introduction of the
new text will begin on the
first Sunday of Advent, just
ahead of the Christmas
season a time when infrequent
churchgoers attend services.
AP reports that The Rev. Michael
Ryan, pastor of St. James Cathedral in
Seattle, started an online petition called,
"What If We Just Said Wait," that drew
more than 22,000 signatures from
clergy, lay people, liturgists and others
around the world, who urged a limited,
one-year introduction of the new
translation followed by an evaluation
before the text was adopted across
the country.
What is the fuss... are we actually
worried about the words we use of the
heart and "soul" behind what we say,
think and do.. that is our opinion.
Change is always difficult...it will be as
hard for veteran Priest as it will be for
veteran parishioners...so get your
tongue out of the thought and continue
to pray to the God of your choice.
Think of what could have happened
if this translation had happened years
ago. Consider
Darn those ballistic devises...instead
of Dam those torpedoes.
The Ten Orders from Above..instead
of The Ten Commandments
The Red outer Garment Event...
instead of The Robe
A serious moment for Hosanna -
instead of Passion of the Christ
Etymologically derived from Hebrew
- instead of Hosanna
Let's check back in a year from now
and see if we are still mis-speaking or
if Latin infiltrates out lives.
Our advise...at least from this
Catholic...roll with the punches out
there...we'll all mumble for a
while...then see what happens when the
dewfalls...Amen, Amen I say to that!

"What's been going on with that
gigantic crane at the Waterfront Hilton
Beach Resort?" many people have been
asking me. I've received different answers
from different people I've contacted
everything from "helping to put in new
air conditioners" to "building new
rooms." So I contacted JD Shafer,
General Manager of the Hilton at 21100
Pacific Coast Highway, HB. He said the
huge crane is being used to help repaint
the hotel. Jennifer McLaughlin, Marketing
Coordinator for the Resort, said Stream-
line Finishes of Laguna Hills, has been
repainting the hotel and protecting
the environment through sustainable
practices. "Their systems and procedures
protect the ecosystem and help ensure
it maintains its own sustainability,"
she said. "The resort's using storm
water protection barriers that filter
contaminants from entering the sewer
systems, while the exterior is being
powerwashed with just water."
Streamline is applyingSherman-Williams
Low VOC paint products which match
the resort's current color scheme. They
are using drop cloths, plastic covers and
masking paper to catch paint overspray,
drops and miss-paints. The spray pumps
are placed in plastic pools to catch any
paint going into or out of the machine.
They're also using a wash system with
environmentally friendly solvents to
clean tools and equipment, without
dispensing any of the runoff or paint
removed into the ecosystem. The system
is designed to be self-contained and
reclaim its own water and debris. Once
the system is full, it's transported to an
offsite hazardous waste facility where it
is properly disposed of. Streamline also
uses LEED compliant materials to
minimize its damage to the atmosphere.
"We wanted to work with an environ-
mentally responsible company and
Streamline has been the perfect partner,"
said JD Shafer, Hilton General Manager.
"It has been 10 years since the exterior
has been painted." The Hilton Restora-
tion project.as launched several "Green"
initiatives to help the environment.
There's a "Green Committee" that meets
regularly to discuss implementation of
eco-friendly operations.
The hotel has a "Green Room," an
environmentally-friendly laundry,
available free to all guests. To find out

The Historic Newland House,
the oldest home in Huntington
Beach (built in 1898), recently
helda HalloweenHaunt/Candlelight
Tour, which attracted more than
100 people. Huntington Beach
Historical Society Members
Darrell Rivers and Kate Rasmussen
explained the unique home's
haunted facts during candlelit
tours. The significance of each
room was described by Darrell in
a quiet, deep voice on the dark
night. Spectators enjoyed going
through a secret closet passageway
that linked two bedrooms. It was a
spooky but fascinating event. Kelly
Rivers and her mom, Maureen, sold
their own baked goods in front of the
House during the tours to help the
historical society. If you haven't been to
the Newland House, it's open the first
and third Saturday and Sunday of each
month from noon to 4pm. There is a
small donation to get a docent lead tour
from Huntington Beach City Historian
Jerry Person, who has given tours of the
house for more than 29 years. The tours
are fabulous. If you have any questions
please call: (714) 969-8928. A Holiday
Event is planned at the Newland House,
19820 Beach Blvd., in the southeast
corner of the Newland Shopping Center
in Huntington Beach, December 2, with
Bell Ringers and Tasty Holiday Treats.

"Lord be with you."
When principles - like the one in Somerville, Massachusetts -
are trying to ban holidays like Columbus Day, Halloween and
Thanksgiving frombeing celebrated, something is wrong with our
view of American history. The principle wrote of her decision to
ban Columbus Day: "For many of us and our students celebrating
[Christopher Columbus] is an insult and a slight to the people he
annihilated. On the same lines, we need to be careful around the
Thanksgiving Day time as well."
But this argument ignores what the first Thanksgiving was
originally - and still is - about. Thanksgiving was a time to give
thanks to God for his bountiful blessings.
Among the first American settlers, the Pilgrims were faithful to
give God thanks. Pilgrim Edward Winslow expressed their
gratitude in the fall of 1621: "God be praised, we had a good
increase of corn... by the goodness of God, we are far fromwant."
Winslowalso records: "Our harvest being gotten in, our governor
sent four men on fowling (turkey hunting), so that we might after
a special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit
of our labors" (Dwight Heath, ed., Mourt's Relation: AJournal of
the Pilgrims at Plymouth, [Bedford, MA: Applewood Books,
1963], 82). The Pilgrims invited Chief Massasoit and his tribe
for three days of feasting, games and celebration. The good
relations the Pilgrims (and Puritans) enjoyed with the Natives
lasted some 50 years.
That tradition of Thanksgiving grewin
colonial New England, and eventually
spread. In fact, the Continental
Congress issued a number of
thanksgiving proclamations, like
the one issued after the discovery
of Benedict Arnold's treason that
also offered gratitude to God for
"prospering the labours of the
husbandmen, and causing the earth to
yield its increase in plentiful harvests; and,
above all, in continuing to us the enjoy-
ment of the gospel of peace" (Journals of the
Continental Congress 1774-1789 (Washington, DC:
Government Printing Office, 1907-37), 18:950-51).
A day after the first Federal Congress approved
the Bill of Rights, which some claim includes the
doctrine of "Separation between Church and State"
in the First Amendment, they voted to ask President
GeorgeWashington
to proclaim a
"National Day of
Prayer" to thank
God for the estab-
lishment of our
government and
for His blessings.
On October 3,
issued the follow-
ing: "Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the
twenty-sixth day of November next, to be devoted by the People
of these United States... That we may then all unite in rendering
unto Him our sincere and humble thanks... for the peaceable and
rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish
constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and
particularly the national one nowlately instituted, for the civil and
religious liberty with which we are blessed..." (Jared Sparks, ed.,
The Writings of George Washington; being His Correspondence,
Addresses, Messages, and Other Papers, Official and Private,
Selected and Published from the original
Manuscripts, 12 vols., [Boston: American
Stationer's Company, 1837], 12:119.)
The problem with the
Somerville principal's reasoning
for banning Thanksgiving is that by
claiming political correctness and
sensitivity, one could easily forfeit
nearly every holiday and celebration
in America: The 4th of July could be
condemned because the Declaration of Inde-
pendence didn't go far enough since it did not
eradicate slavery; Veterans Day because of innocents
unintentionally becoming casualties of war. Where
does the PC madness stop? Instead of allowing our
flaws to drive what we think about ourselves, how
about celebrating what makes America great? Like the
time-honored and entirely appropriate celebration and
tradition of Thanksgiving!

"Carved on these walls is the story of
America , of a continuing quest to preserve
both Democracy and decency, and to
protect a national treasure that we call the
American dream."
~ President George Bush
SOMETHING to think about - Most of
the surviving Parents are now Deceased.
There are 58,267 names now listed on
that polished black wall, including those
added in 2010..
The names are arranged in the order in
which they were taken from us by date
and within each date the names are
alphabetized. It is hard to believe it is 36
years since the last casualties.
Beginning at the apex on panel 1E and
going out to the end of the East wall,
appearing to recede into the earth
(numbered 70E - May 25, 1968), then
resuming at the end of the West wall, as the
wall emerges from the earth (numbered
70W - continuing May 25, 1968) and
ending with a date in 1975. Thus the war's
beginning and end meet. The war is com-
plete, coming full circle, yet broken by the
earth that bounds the angle's open side and
contained within the earth itself.
The first known casualty was Richard B.
Fitzgibbon, of North Weymouth, Mass.
Listed by the U.S. Department of De-
fense as having been killed
on June 8, 1956. His name is listed
on the Wall with that of his son,
Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Richard B.
Fitzgibbon III, who was killed on
Sept. 7, 1965.
There are three sets of fathers and sons
on the Wall.
39,996 on the Wall were just 22
or younger.
The largest age group, 8,283 were just
19 years old 33,103 were 18 years old.
12 soldiers on the Wall were 17 years old.
5 soldiers on the Wall were 16 years old.
One soldier, PFC Dan Bullock was
15 years old.
997 soldiers were killed on their first day
in Vietnam .
1,448 soldiers were killed on their last
day in Vietnam .
31 sets of brothers are on the Wall.
Thirty one sets of parents lost two of
their sons.
54 soldiers on attended Thomas Edison
High School in Philadelphia. I wonder
why so many from one school.
8 Women are on the Wall. Nursing
the wounded.
244 soldiers were awarded the Medal of
Honor during the Vietnam War; 153 of
them are on the Wall.
Beallsville, Ohio with a population of
475 lost 6 of her sons.
West Virginia had the highest casualty
rate per capita in the nation. There are
711 West Virginians on the Wall.
The Marines of Morenci - They led some
of the scrappiest high school football and
basketball teams that the little
Arizona copper town of Morenci (pop.
5,058) had ever known and cheered.
They enjoyed roaring beer busts. In
quieter moments, they rode horses along
the Coronado Trail, stalked deer in the
Apache National Forest .And in the
patriotic camaraderie typical of
Morenci's mining families, the nine
graduates of Morenci High enlisted as a
group in the Marine Corps. Their service
began on Independence Day, 1966. Only
3 returned home.
The Buddies of Midvale - LeRoy
Tafoya, Jimmy Martinez, TomGonzales
were all boyhood friends and lived on
three consecutive streets in Midvale,
Utah on Fifth, Sixth and Seventh
avenues. They lived only a few yards
apart. They played ball at the adjacent
sandlot ball field. And they all went to
Vietnam. In a span of 16 dark days in
late 1967, all three would be killed.
LeRoy was killed on Wednesday, Nov.
22, the fourth anniversary of John F.
Kennedys assassination. Jimmy died
less than 24 hours later on Thanksgiving
Day. Tom was shot dead assaulting
the enemy on Dec. 7, Pearl Harbor
Remembrance Day.
The most casualty deaths for a single day
was on January 31, 1968 ~ 245 deaths.
The most casualty deaths for a single
month was May 1968 - 2,415 casualties
were incurred.
For most Americans who read this
they will only see the numbers that the
Vietnam War created. To those of us who
survived the war, and to the families of
those who did not, we see the faces, we
feel the pain that these numbers created.
We are, until we too pass away, haunted
with these numbers, because they were
our friends, fathers, husbands, wives, sons
and daughters. There are no noble wars,
just noble warriors.

Thanksgiving

or the fifth consecutive year, Assemblyman
Jim Silva (R-Huntington Beach) has received
a perfect score from the California Taxpayers
Association during its annual report.
"I am honored to receive a perfect
rating from the California Taxpayers
Association," said Silva. "We
must continue to protect taxpayers
in California."
The California Taxpayers
Association is the state's largest and
oldest organization representing
taxpayers. Its main objective is to
guard against unnecessary taxation
and promote government efficiency.
Each year the organization releases
the CalTax Voting Record, which
shows how state legislators acted
on major tax and fiscal legislation,
and holds elected officials accountable for anti-taxpayer votes.
"Assemblyman Silva consistently voted in
support of taxpayers, and against measures that
would make things even tougher for California
workers and employers," CalTax President Teresa
Casazza said. "We appreciate his work to improve
our state's economy while protecting taxpayers'
family budgets."
during his four years at
Bolsa Grande High School in
Garden Grove.
He came to know local
Republican Party leader
Walter Knott, the founder of
Knotts Berry Farm, who hosted
Republican volunteer efforts at
his amusement park offices.
In 1964, he volunteered
for the Barry Goldwater for
President and George Murphy
for Unites States Senate
campaign. In 1966, he cam-
paigned for Ronald Reagan for
Governor of California.
He worked in the Nixon
for President campaign of
1968 as an Orange County
Republican Party volunteer.
He was President of the
College Republicans at Santa
Ana College and was twice
elected Student Body President
while obtaining his Associates
in Arts Degree in Journalism
in 1968. He also served as
College Republican Club
President at Chapman College
where he received his
Bachelor of Arts degree in
Government in 1970.
He worked his way through
college managing a hotel near
Disneyland. Just before
graduating from college, he
joined the Ronald W. Caspers
for Supervisor campaign as
its director, winning an upset
victory in the June, 1970
Primary Election.
He served as Supervisor-
elect Caspers as the Special
Assistant to the Chairman of
the Board of Keystone Savings
& Loan Association. Upon taking
office in 1971, Supervisor
Caspers appointed him as
an Executive Assistant, and
he eventually became the
supervisors Chief of Staff.
First appointed to a vacancy
and then elected in 1972, he
was the youngest individual to
sit on the Republican Central
Committee of Orange County.
He served as Treasurer of the
county party when George
Delahanty was Chairman.
He walked precincts, raised
funds, and campaigned for
Republican candidates as a
member of the Orange County
Young Republicans.
In 1974, he resigned his seat
on the Republican Central
Committee of Orange County
to enter St. Patricks Seminary
in Menlo Park, California, to
study for the Roman Catholic
Priesthood.
Returning to Orange County
he joined a local
civil engineering
firm and re-
turned to active
participation in
the county
party. He was
elected Second
Vice Chairman
and then First
Vice Chairman
when Lois
Lundberg was
Chairman of
the county
party. He was
first elected
Chairman of the
county party in
1985 and has
been re-elected
ever since.
He has served
as a Member of
the State Central
Committee and
of the Executive
Committee of
the California
Republican
Party.
He was a
California dele-
gate to the
Republican Na-
tional Convention for George
Bush in Houston, Texas in
1992, and an alternate
delegate to the G.O.P. National
Convention for Bob Dole in San
Diego in 1996.
He has personally known
every Republican Presidential
Nominee since 1960; Richard
Nixon, Barry Goldwater,
Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan,
George Bush,Bob Dole, George
W. Bush and John McCain.
During his tenure as Chairman
of the Republican Party of
Orange County, the G.O.P.
achieved a never-seen-again
voter registration margin of
more than 200,000 more
registered Republicans than
Democrats in Orange County
and captured six of the then
seven Orange County seats in
the California Assembly, and
three of the then four of Orange
Countys seats in the California
State Senate. Five of Orange
Countys then six Congressional
seats were also held by
Republicans. Likewise, during
his chairmanship Republicans
occupied virtually all county-wide
non-partisan offices of the
County of Orange, including
all five seats of the Board
of Supervisors.
To recognize volunteer efforts
for the party, he established
such awards as the annual
Republican Party of Orange
County Lee Atwater Award,
the Volunteer of
the Month and
the Volunteer of
the Year
Awards, the
Legislator of
the Year
Award, the
Local Elected
Official of the
Year Award,
the Lifetime of
Service Award
and the Chair-
mans Award.
As the princi-
pal fund raiser
for the County
Party, he
achieved a
financially sol-
vent treasury
each year of his
chairmanship.
And, working
closely with
the California
Republican
Party, the
county party
met State Party
goals for voter
registration and
election day
results during
his tenure.
President Ronald Reagan
appointed him to the
California Appeal Board
of the United States
Selective Service System.
During the Bush Admin-
istration, he was appointed
to the Boards of Directors
of three savings and
loans institutions by the
Federal Home Loan Bank
of Washington, D.C.
While Chairman, he
traveled and spoke for the
International Republican
Institute of Washington,
D.C. He lectured on political
party building and
democracy in Nicaragua,
Columbia and Korea.
For his efforts to foster
new democracy interna-
tionally, he received the
Order of Fulencio Vega of
the City of Managua from
the Mayor, Honorable Dr.
Arnoldo Aleman, who
later served as President
of Nicaragua.
He served as Senior Vice
President of TAIT & Asso-
ciates, Inc., a professional
civic engineering, surveying
and environmental firm.
He is a former Member of
the Board of Directors of
Fleetwood Enterprises,
Inc., the nations largest
housing and recreational
vehicle company.
He served as a Member of

If you think Bernie Madoffs ponzi
scheme is the greatest fraud in the
history of this country, you havent
been following the Florida now
Miami Marlins.
The Marlins recently introduced
their new name, uniforms, colors
and logos. Next year, the team will
play in a gleaming stadium currently
under construction in downtown
Miami that was principally funded
on the backs of South Florida
taxpayers. But beneath all the glitz
and glamour, the new Marlins are
just like the old Marlins: Cheap,
untrustworthy, duplicitous, and
willing to say and do anything to
keep their pockets full while they
keep their hands in ours.
Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, ably
assisted in his hijack of taxpayers by
his son-in-law, David Samson, cried
poverty to convince politicians to
fund the majority of the cost of his
teams new home. Not until Deadspin
leaked the teams financials last
year did the public and their MLB
brethren realize the Marlins were
the most profitable team in MLB,
pocketing $37 million in 2008 and
upwards of $90 million in the three
years preceding the vote on a new
stadium. All while playing in the
worst facility in MLB, having the
fewest revenue streams and the
lowest attendance if you count
actual bodies in the park of the
remaining 29 teams. Lorias secret?
Pocketing tens-of-millions-of-
dollars per year in revenue sharing
payments.
Recently, as
a further insult
to taxpayers and
the few fans in
the Miami area
that actually
care about the
team, Loria and
Samson were
making cooing
noises to the biggest
stars on the free agent
market. The biggest,
Albert Pujols, was
wined and dined on a
recent visit to South
Florida and left the Sunshine
State with an offer in hand.
Two other prominent free
agents, shortstop Jose
Reyes and pitcher Mark
Buehrle, were similarly entertained
and also received contract offers.
In reality, the Marlins are engaging
in nothing more than a charade
designed to deceive fans into think-
ing the team might actually spend
some of the additional revenue they
are certain to generate next year in
an attempt to field a competitive
team. None of the offers were
attractive to the players and didnt
stand a chance of being accepted, a
fact well known to Loria and
Samson but, they hoped, not to
optimistic and gullible
fans that are currently
being solicited for
tickets and sponsorships.
Major League Baseball
in Florida will never be
profitable on its own.
That wont prevent Loria
from pocketing millions
of dollars at the
expense of both taxpayers and
his fellow owners.
Dont be fooled, the new Marlins
bear a striking resemblance to the
old Marlins, except they are primed
to make even more money than
they previously did. Just dont
expect them to spend it. Bernie
Madoff must be jealous.

A face only a Banker could love...Marlin's Owner
Jeffrey Loria...Fish Bytes says:..."Two Frauds
combined into one big Joke upon the taxpayers
and the few Marlin faithful out there. ...
Meanwhile Loria and Samson are laughing all
the way to the Bank. ...
C
ity Employees at the City of Huntington Beach
once again stepped up to help the City in its
budget shortfall by negotiating required side letter
agreements that provided more than $1.6 million
dollars of cost reduction over a two year period.
The City Council voted at their November
21, 2011 meeting to accept the negotiated
actions of the Municipal Employees Asso-
ciation that would do the following:
1. Increase the employee contribution to
the PERS retirement system, from 2.25% to
4.25% ($536,000 annual value)
2. Suspend the HB Police Department physical
therapy program ($68,000 annual value)
3. Take 18 hours the equivalent of two days as un-
paid/furlough ($200,000 annual value)
Non-essential City services to the public will be closed
on December 27, 28, 29 and 30 for 2011. Along with
Christmas Day and New Years Day, the Holiday Closure
covers 36 hours for full-time employees. The Municipal
Employees Association will be required to furlough 18
hours of the Holiday Closure; a significant savings to the
City.
This is a great sacrifice for the MEA to make
to assist the City in its budget challenges,
stated City Manager Fred Wilson. The Coun-
cil recognizes that MEA has gone the extra
mile in its negotiations and appreciates the As-
sociations contributions.
The Municipal Employee Association is also
one of the first Associations to agree to a second
tier retirement system for newly hired employees.
This means that while current employees receive 2.5%
at age 55, new employees will be hired under a different
formula. That formula has not yet been determined. The
second tier goes into effect when all of the other em-
ployee groups who are currently under the 2.5% at 55
formula, agree to go to a second tier.
T
he Los-Alamitos, Seal Beach
Patch reports ..."Tooth decay
could be wiped out "within
our lifetime," researcher says. FDA
testing could begin in March.
A mouthwash that wipes out
cavity-causing bacteria has been
concocted by a UCLAmicrobiologist,
the school reports.
The formula works like
a targeted smart bomb
against cavities, and
could eliminate
tooth decay from
human beings
"withinour lifetime,"
the school says.
A small-scale
test on a dozen
people found that
rinsing just once with the
mouthwash caused a near-
complete elimination of "S.
mutans"' bacteria over a four-
day testing period.
That particular strain of bacteria
is one of millions that coexist in
the human body, but is believed
exclusively responsible for tooth
decay. Americans spend more than
$70 billion per year on dental
services, the majority involving
cavities caused by S. mutans.
Dr. Wenyuan Shi, chairman of the
UCLASchool of Dentistry's oral
biology section, has been
working on the mouth-
wash for 12 years, with
financial support
from mouthwash
ma n u f a c t u r e r
Colgate-Palmolive
and C3-Jian, a
company he
f o u n d e d
around patent
rights licensed to himby UCLA.
Shi said his mouthwash,
currently called C16G2, acts as a
"smart bomb" only against the
cavity-causing bacteria in the human
mouth. "With this new antimicrobial
technology, we may have the prospect
of actually wiping out tooth decay
in our lifetime,'' Shi said in a
UCLAnews release.
The dentistry school's dean, Dr.
No-Hee Park, said, "The work
conducted by Dr. Shi's laboratory will
transform the concept of targeted
antimicrobial therapy into reality.
"We are proud that UCLA will
become known as the birthplace
of this significant treatment
innovation," he said.
The FDA is expected to begin
clinical trials in March. If it approves
the mouthwash for general use, it
would be the first anticavity drug
since fluoride was licensed nearly 60
years ago, UCLAsaid."
City to save over $1.6
million in Labor cost!
Local Labor and Pension issues take shape under
current City Council majority.

he Spark of Love Campaign began in 1993 in
cooperation with ABC 7 and local firefighters
from Orange, Riverside, Los Angeles, San
Bernardino, and Ventura counties. Last year, the Spark
of Love Toy Drive collected and distributed over
300,000 toys to children in Orange County communities
who may have otherwise gone without during the
holiday season. An estimated total of 600,000
toys were collected throughout the five counties
participating in the campaign.
Huntington Beach Fire Stations, the Civic Center
lobby, and the Police Department lobby will serve as
drop-off sites for the public to bring new, unwrapped
toys or sports equipment. Through the Spark of Love
Toy Drive, the holiday spirit will be felt throughout our
communities as well as in the hearts of less fortunate
children. Boxes will be set up from November 7
through December 24, 2011.

DeputyFire Marshal/Training,

eaLegs Wine Bar is already creating a
buzz, and it hasnt even opened its

of a Hampton style ambience mixed with
the simplicity of Surf City, SeaLegs will
create an inviting and unforgettable
experience for locals and visitors alike.
The beachside chic establishment will
house well over 2,000 bottles of unique
wines and champagne, as well as 10 ice cold
craft beers on draft with plenty more to
chose from in the bottle. Wine and beer is
not all SeaLegs will bring to its cliental: they
will feature seasonal dinner specials, cheese
and charcuterie pairings, crositinis,
pizzettas, savory salads, and even decadent
treats to finish off the night. Head chef and
cheese guru Vincent Bough plans to spice
up your run-of-the-mill cheese platters by
offering selections that are both vast and
unique such as Fromager D'affinois, a
French double cream cow's milk paired with
Chardonnay soaked golden raisins or his
triple cream goats milk cheese with fresh
strawberries and dark chocolate. If youre in
the mood for something heartier, SeaLegs
will offer four, revolving dinner selections,
such as their fillet with gremolata, olives,
fingerlings and greens, or the SeaLegs Mac
& Cheese with secret cheeses, leeks and
pancetta. Whatever you may want to nibble
or feast on will surely be accompanied by
the perfect glass of wine hand selected by
Sommelier Jennifer DuBourdieu, SeaLegs
sleek yet cozy flare features romantic
lighting and bar-style seating that looks into
the expansive wine cellar, while hand-crafted
pieces from local artists accentuate the
welcoming vibe. The combination of formal
dinning, bar-top seating, private side

DearEarthTalk:
I drink diet soda
but Im told its bad
for me and linked to health
problems. Is this true and if so can you suggest
any healthier alternatives?
Mitchell James, Ronkonkoma, NY
While rumors have circulated for years that diet
sodas are unhealthy, researchers have found no
direct links between such
drinks and specific human
health problems. Aspartame
(also known as NutraSweet) is
the sugar-alternative of choice
for most diet soda makers. Its
180 times sweeter than sugar but
contains no significant calories
and does not promote tooth
decay. The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration(FDA) first approved
aspartame in 1974, though health
advocates held up its widespread
use for over a decade.
Over half of Americans consume
aspartame regularly in soda and
other foodsall told, diet varieties
accounted for some 29 percent of
the soft drink market for the top 10
sodas in 2010, according to Beverage Digest
so it is certainly reasonable to be concerned about
any potential health effects. However, initial
reports that implicated aspartame in seizures,
headaches, depression, anxiety, memory loss,
birth defects, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus,
methanol toxicity and even cancer turned out to
be false (even a hoax), according to a wide range
of reputable, peer-reviewed studies and clinical
and epidemiological research.
Another concern that has been voiced about
aspartame is that it produces methanol when
metabolized, which converts to formaldehyde
(and then formic acid) in the body. But studies
have shown that the amount of methanol in
aspartame is less than that found in natural
sources such as fruit juices, citrus fruits and some
fermented beverages, and that the amount of
formaldehyde generated is also small compared
to that produced routinely by the body from other
foods and drugs.
While aspartame and
diet sodas have not been linked directly to
specific health problems, researchers who sur-
veyed the eating, drinking, smoking and exercise
habits of some 2,500 New Yorkers between 2003
and 2010 did find that those who drank at least
one diet soda per day had a 61 percent higher risk
of so-called vascular events (e.g. heart attack or
stroke) than those who avoided Diet Coke and
other products with aspartame. If our results are
confirmed with future studies, then it would
suggest that diet soda may not be the optimal
substitute for sugar-sweetened beverages for
protection against vascular outcomes, reported
the studys lead author, Hannah Gardener of the
University of Miami School of Medicine.
But others say that such a finding constitutes a
link, not proof of cause and effectand that
those who have switched to diet sodas may be
replacing the calories they used to get from
regular sodas with other unhealthy foods that may
be increasing their risk of heart attack or stroke.
The takeaway should be that
those who drink soda regularly,
diet or otherwise, should be sure
to exercise and eat right other-
wise. Or, better yetgive up the
soda entirely. According to
Katherine Zeratsky, a nutritionist
with the Mayo Clinic, healthier
choices abound. She suggests
starting off the day with a glass
of 100 percent fruit juice
and then drinking skim milk
with meals. Sip water
throughout the day, she
recommends. For variety, try
sparkling water or add a squirt
of lemon or cranberry juice
to your water.
Turkey Day is notoriously terrifying
for the at-home sommelier.
Suppose you're into food and wine.
Shouldyouflaunt your connoisseurship
and create precise pairings to wow
the palate? Absolutely not. The
cousin who only drinks Budweiser
will get annoyed, and everyone else
will think you're a snob.
Suppose wine is intimidating.
Should you just stock up on Two Buck
Chuck and call it a day? Again, the
answer is no. Thatd be a copout,
as there are plenty of wines with
character that dont break the bank.
Just stick to this handful of
guideposts. Its actually quite easy to
create a memorable meal with wines
that everyone will enjoy.
For st art ers, remember t hat
Thanksgiving is an American holiday.
So when you head to the store,
embrace your patriotism and pick up
domestic wine. And dont hesitate to
buy local. The Pilgrims didnt import
their turkey from a faraway land, so try
to pick up at least one bottle that was
produced within driving distance of
your house. All 50 states now produce
wine, and the Drink Local Wine
movement is taking off.
Second, as San Francisco wine
writer Jon Bonn has advised, devise
a roster of one sparkling wine, one
white, and one red.
Anything beyond three wines
creates needless confusion. If youre
hosting Thanksgiving, youll have
enough to worry about without guests
asking which red matches the stuffing,
or which white goes better with the
sweet potatoes. So keep it simple.
Youll also want to make sure you
select wines with power and finesse.
This is easier than it sounds.
Asimple Pinot Grigio, for example,
isnt a powerful wine so wont stand
up to mashed potatoes and gravy.
Equally important, an in-your-face
Cabernet Sauvignon lacks finesse, so
will smother your food. Look for re-
freshing wines with body.
For the sparkler, this
means avoiding
bottles that are
too sweet look
for brut
or extra
brut on
the label.
Old stand-
bys like
Domaine
Chandon
andKorbel
are better
than ever
before, and there are some exciting
sparklers coming from states like
New Mexico (Gruet), Missouri (Les
Bourgeois), and North Carolina
(Biltmore). If youre in the mood to
splurge, Americas top sparkling wines
e a s i l y r i va l Fr e nc h
Champagne look for
Roederer or Argyle.
Every gathering should
begin with a toast, of
course, but sparkling
wine goes with just about
everything so keep the
sparkler on your table all evening.
For the white wine, remember to
look for body. Bold Chardonnays work
well with turkey and can cut through
just about every component of your
meal from sweet flavors like
cinnamon to the bitter-
ness of green vegetables.
California is
still on top, but
look for wines
w i t h
specific
Viticul-
tural Areas
on the
label, like
Carneros,
Monterey
Co u n t y,
Ru s s i a n
River Val-
ley, and others. These will generally
have a bit more zing than your
standard Cali Chard.
Riesling either dry or slightly
sweet is also a wonderful wine for
Thanksgiving. And you can have some
fun with it by selecting a
bottle from Michigan,
Idaho, Washington, or
New York. In Washington,
Hogue Cellars and Pacific
Rim are making some
stunning wines, and just
about everything from New
Yorks Finger Lakes would
please your guests.
With reds, think refreshment. This
means avoiding wines with lots of
tannin, so steer clear of Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec.
Pinot Noir is the most popular
choice on Thanksgiving, but its very
difficult to find good Pinot for less
than $15. Thats why Syrah ideally
from a cool-climate region like
Washington or Californias coastal
regions is a better bet. Syrah is fruity
enough to satisfy the guests who like
big reds, and elegant enough to handle
the cornucopia of Thanksgiving. There
are literally hundreds of choices for
less than $15.
Finally, and most importantly, have
lots of wine on hand. The more wine
on the table, the more your family will
enjoy the meal!
This Thanksgiving,
Drink White

Honda Fit EV
The idea of a all-electric Honda Fit is nothing new,
but the details of the production version that will come
to the U.S. next summer are, well, also nothing new.
As announced today, the all-electric Fit will only be
available through a lease program, probably for $399
per month. What's interesting is that the car does have
an MSRP of $36,625, and multiple Honda reps milling
around the stand after the world debut unveiling said
that the lease-only deal is what's being announced
today but that Honda listens to its customers.
The 2012 Green Car of the Year award was snagged from the electric and diesel jaws of its competitors by the Honda Civic
Natural Gas. In a year full of standard gasoline powertrain alternatives, the Civic beat out the Ford Focus Electric, Mitsubishi
i, Toyota Prius V and the Volkswagen Passat TDI.
Green Car Journal hands out the award and its rules state that the GCOTYneeds to have a "quantifiable environmental achieve-
ment," market significance and "newness." Any car that has these clearly defined features and is available for sale by January 1,
2012 can be a nominee, and the list of finalists is whittled down by GCJ editors and selected industry and environmental experts.
Ford Focus Electric
The zero-emissions Focus hatchback made its
official debut at this year's Consumer Electronics
Show and Ford has said the car will officially launch
at the end of 2011 here in North America
Ford Fusion Hybrid
The Fusion features SmartGaugewith EcoGuide
that grows leaves when the driver uses a green foot.
The benefit - aside from the pretty pictures - is the
ability to go over 700 miles on a tank of gas. A2.5 liter
4-cylinder puts out 155 hp/136 lb.-ft. of torque. The
amount of fuel needed at startup is also reduced thanks
to an enhanced electronic throttle control.
Volkswagen Passat TDI
Stepping into the 2012 Passat TDI will set you back
$25,995 (plus the aforementioned $770). At that price,
you get VW's fabulous 2.0-liter, turbodiesel four-
cylinder engine, 17-inch alloy wheels, heated front
seats, a touchscreen radio and a six-speed manual
transmission. VW's automatic DSG transmission is
optional. Stepping up to the TDI model, which is rated
at 31 miles per gallon city and a "best-in-class" 43 mpg
on the highway, means that you'll own the only clean
diesel vehicle in the mid-size family sedan segment.
Chevrolet Spark
The Spark took the stage at the Los Angeles Auto
Showin four distinct pastels, with oversized headlight
assemblies-a-blazing. The Spark may be a bit of a runt,
but it certainly boasts some height. It's 61 inches
tall, or only six inches shorter than the Equinox
crossover. The Spark also features plenty of room for
four occupants, with 42 inches of front leg roomand a
respectable 35 inches for rear seat passengers.
Mazda CX-5 SkyActive
We already drove a pre-production 2013 Mazda
CX-5 through scenic Iceland, and the Japanese
automaker showed us the finished (European) product
at the Frankfurt Motor Show back in September. Here
at the Los Angeles Auto Show, however, Mazda has
officially announced exactly what's in store for the
U.S.-spec CX-5, set to go on sale early next year

Something was perfectly clear at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show: Green cars
are becoming a major presence in our lives.
With rising demand for cars that get great gas mileage thanks to steep gas
prices and new government mandates that increase fuel efficiency targets all
the automakers are focusing on green technology.
Indeed, new fuel economy rules laid out by the Obama administration mean
that vehicles will go twice as far on a gallon of gas in 2025 as they do today.
This week at the Los Angeles Convention Center, major (and a few not-
so-major) automakers displayed hybrids, diesels, electric vehicles and
high-tech conventional engines that are either available to the public right now
or will be very soon.
The market for green vehicles is primed to explode, as gas prices remain high
and green vehicle technology continues to improve, becoming more affordable,
more reliable and safer (Consumer Reports recently reported that hybrids are safer
than conventional vehicles in collisions.)
Click through and see some of our favorites from this week's show, and be
prepared to see more and more of them on the road.
We WILL Drive More Hybrids
And Electrics, Like Them Or Not

Steve Jobs was a visionary who created
extraordinary value for shareholdersbut
four lesser-known CEOs were even more
valuable over the past three years.
This is the fourth year Chief Executive
magazine and ChiefExecutive.net have
published its Wealth Creation Index,
ranking the performance of S&P 500
CEOs. Created in collaboration with Great
Numbers! and the Applied Finance Group,
the ranking is based on four factors: (1)
How good a company was at making real
money (operating cash flowin excess of its
risk-adjusted cost of capital), (2) Its
prospects for continuing to make real
money, (3) Its wise use of capital, and
(4) How highly the market values the
company's assets
The top 50 companies in ChiefExecu-
tive.nets ranking produced an average total
shareholder return of 68.4% in the three
years ended June 30, 2011. The bottom
50 averaged -9.3%.
CEOs that had been in their roles for less
than 3 years and the S&P 500's 13 REITs
were not eligible, resulting in a pool of 366
chief executives (compared to 2010s 343).
The ranking covered reported returns from
July 2008 through June 2011.
"In creating and publishing these
rankings, we're trying to help
companies realize their upside
potential by increasing awareness of
exactly how to manage for wealth
creation, and by suggesting a valid
measure that can be used at all levels
of an organization, said DrewMorris,
CEO of Great Numbers! and the
article's lead author. Our method also
lays out opportunities to improve a
company's operating cash flow."
Morris noted that, "We've created a way
for the S&P 500 companies' senior-
management teams to look at the reality of
their performance through the same lens
professional investors use and to use the
insights gained to create more shareholder
wealth going forward."
"CEOs are hired to create wealth for their
shareholders and value for their customers
and employers," says J.P. Donlon, Chief
Executive magazines Editor in Chief.
"Chief Executive created the Wealth
Creators Index to measure just how well
some are good at this task. In a real sense it
measures just howgood or howpoorly
some CEOs are performing their job."

hen a homeowner applies for a
refinance, they almost always ask for
either a 30 or a 15 year fixed. Most
homeowners are surprised to learn that theres
also a 20 year fixed option that they simply
werent aware of.
With todays interest rates at record lows,
fixed rate options make more sense than any
alternative plan. The advantage of a thirty year
fixed is that it features the lowest payment of
the fixed term loans, simply because it has
the longest amortization period. The
only downside to this is that it
resets the time to pay off the mort-
gage back to a new thirty year
period. Someone who was already 5
years into their mortgage and only had
twenty-five years remaining might
appreciate the lower rate of their new
refinance, but they might not be as
excited about losing the five years
theyve invested towards getting their
house paid off.
This notion is exactly why shorter
term loans are gaining in popularity
in recent years. With rates at record
lows, individuals have been able to lock in 15
year rates that cause only a slight increase
in their monthly payments compared to their
old thirty year loan, but get the house paid off in
half the time.
For those that want to get their house paid off
even faster, there is even a 10 year fixed product.
The payments are higher to accommodate the
extremely short amortization period, but this is
an incredibly popular program for those that can
fit the payment into their monthly budget.
For most homeowners
the 20 year fixed
represents the best
of both in that
it features a
l o w e r
r a t e
than the thirty year fixed without the significant
increase in payment that the shorter 10 or 15
year terms create.
Heres a quick example. Someone who got a
30 year fixed five years ago would probably
have a rate upwards of 5.0%. For our example,
lets look at a $250,000 loan at 5.25% with
monthly payments of $1,380.51. After 5 years,
this homeowner will have
paid off $19,626 of the
original principle. The
remaining balance
of $230,374 is
scheduled to be paid
over the remaining
25 years.
Refinancing this remaining balance of
$230,374 into a new 20 year fixed at 3.75%
would create a new monthly payment of
$1,365.86. The decrease in monthly payment is
$14.65, which adds up to $3,516 in savings over
the next 20 years. Of course, the big savings
comes after the 20th year when the mortgage
no longer exists. Not having a mortgage
payment will save the homeowner
$16,566.12 per year, equaling $82,830.60 in
savings by eliminating those last five years. This
creates a total savings of over $85,000 over the
25 year span. Considering most homeowners
who pay off their mortgage do so around the
same time as their retirement begins, this is a
nice way to add a little extra cushion to your nest
egg.

Around Holiday Lights
As you begin preparing for the holiday season,
we remind you to follow these important safety tips:
Q Do not use decorative lighting with frayed cords and wires,
broken fuses or broken light bulbs.
Q Do not use staples, nails or tacks to hang electrical cords.
These can pierce the protective insulation.
Q Use only Underwriters Laboratories (UL) approved lighting
and extension cords.
Q Plug no more than three strands of lights into each
electrical cord/outlet.
Q Ensure live trees are well watered, and keep electric cords
away from tree stands with water pans.
Q Never use lighted candles on or near holiday trees
or decorations.
Q Remember to unplug decorative lights when you leave
home and before going to bed.
We wish you and yours a safe and happy
