Pet owners barking mad over budget proposal SUE MANNING Associated Press

LOS ANGELES Pet advocates are fighting like cats and dogs to stop a deficit-slashing proposal from Gov. Jerry Brown that aims to save $23 million by ending reimbursements to animal shelters for the cost of keeping strays alive.

Brown wants to repeal parts of Hayden’s Law that require the state to pay for such expenses as food, vet care and kitty litter and requires shelters to hold lost and stray animals for six days instead of three.

the state back to the dark ages when a wandering dog caught Friday could be dead Monday.

“Animals should not have to die to clean up California’s mess,” former state Sen. Tom Hayden, who sponsored the bill, said in a video posted on YouTube.

Proposed budget cuts always bring out the fight in people who want to protect their pet causes. But when it comes to actual pets, the battle has become so personal for opponents of Brown’s plan that they’re even targeting the first pooch. A public Facebook page called Sutter’s Friends,

The animal shelter cuts are part of Brown’s proposed $92.5 billion budget that would eliminate 50 mandates or reimbursable amendments that have been suspended for the last two years or more, said H.D.

SMASH students discover problem with Malibu trout

BY ROSS FURUKAWA Publisher

MALIBU If you thought Malibu Creek was

or where she had been found.

Meanwhile, Houston’s daughter was transported by ambulance to a Los Angeles hospital Sunday morning and later released. A source close to the family who did not want to speak given the sensitivity of the matter said she was treated and released for stress and anxiety. Bobbi Kristina Brown, 18, who is Houston’s daughter from her marriage to singer Bobby Brown, had accompanied her mother to several pre-Grammy Awards events last week.

“At this time, we ask for privacy, especially for my daughter, Bobbi Kristina,” Bobby Brown wrote in a statement released about an hour after she was transported from the hotel. “I appreciate all of the condolences that have been directed towards

healthy, think again.

A group of local middle school students recently set out on a 20-week special project with the intention to learn about the Malibu Creek habitat. What they discovered was a native, keystone species on the brink of extinction.

The steelhead trout is a species native to the Malibu Creek whose population has dwindled from over 3,000 in 2008 to an estimated 50 in 2011, according to Mackenzie Varner, an eighth grade member of the QuikSCienceTeam at Santa Monica Alternative School House (SMASH).

The team of seven students led by SMASH students Varner and Emma Green, determined that the fish population is dying as an unintended consequence of an 86-year old dam, an increase in agriculture and aging septic systems in the Malibu Creek watershed.

The combination of natural erosion, restricted water flow, pollutants from the Tapia Water Treatment Plant and failing septic systems have created a large pond of “Malibu muck” high up in the canyon behind the dam, said Fiona Story, another team member who did research on the subject.

While the muck is “technically safe for humans, it’s bad for the fish,” said Varner.

In addition to the muck, the Rindge Dam has prevented the normally ocean-faring steelhead trout from returning to their original fresh water spawning grounds high up in the Malibu Creek canyon.

“There fish have the same spawning habits as the Pacific salmon, and now they have nowhere to go,” said Kayla Palleiko, another team member.

Destroying the Rindge Dam and rehabilitating the habitat would cost up to $71 million, according to Naomi Miller-Altuner, another student on the project.

Even if the dam is destroyed the effluent would need to “travel downstream into the Malibu lagoon and eventually, Surfrider beach.

The study was initiated by an innovative learning program called QuikSCience. The program was created as a partnership

Investigators seek answers to Houston’s death ANTHONY MCCARTNEY AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES Investigators worked Sunday to piece together what killed Whitney Houston as the music industry’s biggest names gathered for a Grammy Awards show that felt as much like a memorial as a celebration.

Coroner’s officials say they will not release any information on an autopsy performed Sunday at the request of police detectives investigating the singer’s death.

The singer was found in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, but Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter declined to say anything more about the room’s condition or any evidence investigators recovered.

He said there were no obvious signs of trauma on Houston’s body, but that offi-

cials were not ruling out any causes of death until they have toxicology results, which will take weeks to obtain.

Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen said that his agency may release more details Monday about Houston’s death, but it will depend on whether detectives feel comfortable releasing any information.

A member of Houston’s entourage found the 48-year-old singer unresponsive in her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Saturday, just hours before she was supposed to appear at a pre-Grammy gala.

Rosen said there were no signs of foul play when Houston was found by a member of her entourage. Paramedics worked to revive Houston, but were unsuccessful and the singer was pronounced dead shortly before 4 p.m. He said he could not comment on the condition of Houston’s room

Bill Bauer

Digging it Editor:

I agree with the thought expressed in the letter of Feb. 10, 2012 (”Proposing an alternative,” Letters to the Editor) of leaving the Conrad piece alone with the fence around it and the danger sign. I think it was a great political cartoon when it went up and in a state of decay presenting an actual danger it's even better. I think Mr. Conrad would dig it like this.

Larry Perloff Venice

Novel approach Editor:

Why not move the Chain Reaction sculpture inside our new reopening air museum? It can be spray painted with rust inhibitor and roped off for safety and being inside it may not deteriorate so fast. For added historical significance, a model of the Enola Gay airplane that dropped the A bomb on Hiroshima can be attached. It would be very cool to have the Enola Gay model circle the bomb sculpture and a history of the plane and the event can be put by it.

Hotel renovation fuels development debate THE

RECONSTRUCTION

OF

THE

Fairmont Miramar Hotel brought a standing-room only crowd and lots of heated comment to the Planning Commission last Wednesday.

1133 Ocean Ave., LLC, the owner of the iconic hotel, is a corporate subsidiary of Michael Dell’s (yes, the computer Michael Dell) business empire. It’s asking for a development agreement to “re-imagine” the venerable old lady.

Currently, the 4.5 acre property at Ocean Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard has 262,284 square feet of hotel facilities including 296 guest rooms and 160 surface parking spaces.

New construction would replace all but one older structure and add an additional 287,780 square feet of new construction for a total of 550,064 square feet.

Proposed is a substantially rebuilt hotel complex with 265 guest rooms, food, beverage, meeting/banquet space, spa facilities, retail frontage along Wilshire Boulevard, a nearly 1 acre green park at Wilshire and Ocean, up to 120 condominiums and 484 on-site, subterranean parking spaces.

Nobody has mentioned bicycle racks.

Existing 10 story and 12 story towers would be replaced with a new 12 story structure to house hotel amenities, guest rooms and condominiums. A second 11 story building would replace the present two floor administration building on Second Street.

The Wilshire side would house retail stores, meeting rooms and banquet space.

According to a Planning Department report, “The project includes preservation and rehabilitation of the six-story 1920’s Palisades Building at the parcel’s northeast corner, and protection and preservation of the landmark, late-19th century Moreton Bay fig tree planted near the middle of the site.” Up to 40 units of affordable/workforce housing will be built across Second Street.

The architectural renderings show a rather dramatic, Spanish influenced, terra cotta and glass facade with rooftop cupolas.

A 1 acre park at Ocean and Wilshire provides a clear street view of the Moreton Bay fig tree. Based on renderings, I find the project attractive and a much needed update to one of Santa Monica’s oldest and classiest hotels.

The owners of the Huntley House hotel across Second Street don’t like the project.

Neither do residents of nearby condominiums at Ocean and California avenues — probably because new construction will block their views of the blue Pacific.

A public relations firm retained by Huntley owners formed “Santa Monicans against the Miramar Expansion” (SMATME) to whip up neighborhood opposition to the project. Unfortunately, so much misleading information has been disseminated by SMATME that it reminds me of the campaign garbage distributed last election by “Santa Monicans for Quality Government.”

For example, their flyer artwork falsely depicts massive, industrial-looking buildings with blank windows. They call the project, “Miramarmageddon” and claim it will

“destroy Santa Monica.” “Destroy?” Really?

Wow, I better get my disaster kit.

Despite the hysteria-inducing efforts, Wilmont, the area’s official neighborhood group, has enthusiastically endorsed the project.

This debate continues Feb. 22 at the Planning Commission.

MORE SCHOOL PERMITS?

The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Board of Education is considering admitting more students who live outside the district because of a projected drop in enrollment over the next few years.

Currently, the district has 200 non-resident (permit) students. It’s contemplating adding another 100 permit students for the 2012-13 school year. The reason for the move is to bring in around $5,300 more per student from the state.

The only problem is that the state only pays for roughly half of a SMMUSD student’s education. The 2011-12 unrestricted SMMUSD budget is $111 million and another $17 million is restricted for mandated and special programs. With over 11,200 students in the district, the real cost to educate a SMMUSD student is about $10,000 — a far cry from $5,300.

The $4,700 plus difference between state support and the real cost of educating a student here is made up through parcel taxes, property/facility rentals, a half-cent sales and use tax, support from City Hall (estimated in the tens of millions of dollars) plus a whole $200,000 from the City of Malibu. That helps cover the costs of all the exceptional programs we offer our students that other districts cannot possibly afford.

Local news reports quoted school board member Jose Escarce as favoring increasing non-resident permits because the state support would more than pay for the new teachers required by the new students. Say what?

Apparently, Escarce doesn’t realize 100 more permit students would theoretically require up to a half-million dollars in additional funding from non-state sources. In other words, Santa Monica and Malibu taxpayers!

Most businesses and nonprofits experiencing declines in revenue or customers reduce overhead to stay fiscally healthy. The problem with the SMMUSD is that it isn’t run like a business. Board members like Escarce only want to spend and “hire more teachers” even though it’s fiscally irresponsible.

Has anybody thought about the thousands of City Hall’s tax exempt, affordable, multi-family apartments now here, let alone hundreds more coming down the pipeline over the next few years?

Aren’t taxpayer subsidies of hundreds of students who’ve already moved here from outside the district and now living in Santa Monica’s low and mid-income apartments enough without bringing in even more day students from West Los Angeles, Venice and elsewhere to subsidize, too?

to drop, the recent nationwide boom in drilling is slowing. Drillers don’t make money if prices go too low — and drilling wells isn’t cheap.

“It is safe to say that there will be fewer natural gas wells drilled in 2012,” said Kathryn Klaber, president of the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry group based in Pennsylvania.

In recent weeks, several companies have announced plans to cut gas production around the nation, but experts say the low prices are also opening up new markets.

When the shale drilling boom was starting in 2008 the average price for a unit of gas was about $8. Two years ago it was down to $5.50, and now it’s dropped to about $2.50.

Part of the reason is that the shale gas formations became productive more rapidly than expected, as thousands of new wells have been drilled nationwide.

Industry reports note that the national count of active new gas drilling rigs fell to 775 in early February, down from about 1,500 in 2008.

Yet Klaber said that the low prices create opportunities for more people and industries to use the product. For example, some drilling companies are focusing more on the so-called “wet gas” that sells for a higher price because it can be transformed by refineries into consumer products such as plastics and fertilizer.

Last month, Chesapeake Energy of Oklahoma City said it is reducing the number of new dry gas drilling rigs from 47 to 24 this year. In addition, it immediately cut existing production by about 500 million cubic feet per day, adding that if low prices persist, it may double the cut, to 1 billion cubic feet per day.

The company said that about 85 percent of its nationwide drilling expenditures this year will be toward the more profitable wet gas.

A spokesman for Chesapeake didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Experts say the companies have ways to cushion the low prices. It’s called hedging, and business people have used such tools for hundreds if not thousands of years, said Sara Moeller, a professor of business at the University of Pittsburgh.

“When you put a hedge on, you’re locking in one of your prices, because you’re happy with that price,” said Moeller, who has also worked as a commodities trader.

For example, Houston-based Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. said last month that it received $5.17 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas on some hedged deliveries in the final quarter of 2011. Yet the market price at the time was $3.18 per thousand cubic feet.

Moeller said such deals are possible because large consumers of commodities also want to reduce price swings, such as utility companies. Locking in prices limits their exposure to sudden jumps.

It’s done by a simple, registered trade on stock exchanges. People essentially buy and sell the hedges, setting varying prices for different points in the future.

Klaber said the record-low prices have “caused every company to evaluate their business model. A well that may have been profitable to drill last year, this year won’t be profitable.”

A government report issued last week predicted that at the end of March, the amount of natural gas that companies are storing is expected to be the highest since 1983. Those unsold reserves could push prices even further down.

But she noted that the drilling companies are just one part of the industry.

“What may be tighter times for the producers becomes incredibly positive for all the other people in the supply chain,” she said.

She said that means a big piece of the puzzle on long-term trends is how quickly consumers, power plants and refineries increase their use of natural gas.

And while oil and gas companies know how to use hedging to smooth price drops, that tool doesn’t work forever, noted Jay Apt, a professor of technology at Carnegie Mellon.

“It doesn’t necessarily fix your cost” over the long term, he noted, but gives a range of price options. If the boom in natural gas supply collides with a surge in demand, perhaps from power plants looking to take advantage of the low prices of the cleanerburning fuel, he said price volatility could return.

“Then we could be in for a wild ride,” Apt said, because the higher prices might encourage companies to increase drilling again.

UNDERCOVER ISSUES: Laboratory tests found high levels of BPA on 40 percent of thermal paper receipts sampled from major U.S. businesses and services, including McDonald’s, Chevron, CVS, KFC, Whole Foods, WalMart, Safeway and the United States Postal Service, among others. BPA in paper receipts also contaminates paper recycling and is showing up in napkins, toilet paper and other common papers with recycled content.

Hidden danger?

Dear EarthTalk Is it true that Bisphenol A (BPA)-which is harmful to human health-was found to be present in retail cash register receipts and that, since those receipts get recycled, the chemical may also be present in toilet paper and other paper products?

Jocelyn Mitchell via e-mail

MANY OF US ALREADY KNOW THE RISKS

associated with regular use of products containing the plastic hardener and synthetic estrogen Bisphenol A (BPA)-and have switched over to BPA-free water and baby bottles and food storage containers. But the recent revelation that many of the receipts handed around every day in the U.S. contain the chemical has been a real shocker to those already worried about BPA exposure.

Many thermal papers used in the U.S.receipts, event tickets, labels-contain socalled “free” BPA (that is, not bound into resin or plastic), which helps “develop” the inks to make the printed information visible.

“While there is little concern for dermal absorption of BPA, free BPA can readily be transferred to skin and residues on hands can be ingested,” reports the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Laboratory tests commissioned by the non-profit Environmental Working Group (EWG) and carried out by the University of Missouri Division of Biological Sciences Laboratory in 2010 found high levels of BPA on 40 percent of receipts sampled from major U.S. businesses and services, including McDonald's, Chevron, CVS, KFC, Whole Foods, WalMart, Safeway and the U.S. Postal Service, among others.

“The total amounts of BPA on receipts tested were 250 to 1,000 times greater than other, more widely discussed sources of BPA exposure, including canned foods, baby bottles and infant formula,” reported EWG. Wipe tests conducted by the lab easily

removed BPA “indicating that the chemical could rub off on the hands of a person handling the receipt.”

While BPA contamination of food is still a bigger problem, says EWG, a large number of Americans-especially the seven million who run cash registers-are nonetheless exposed to additional amounts of BPA through handling receipts. An EWG analysis of U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data found that retail workers carry an average of 30 percent more BPA in their bodies than other adults.

Another more exhaustive study of BPA in thermal paper receipts and 14 other types of papers found the chemical in a whopping 94 percent of samples from the U.S., Japan, Korea and Vietnam. The State University of New York researchers behind the study, which was published in September 2011 in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Science & Technology, estimate that receipts and other thermal paper products contribute around 33.5 tons of BPA to the environment in the U.S. and Canada each year.

Even more disturbing was their finding that BPA in thermal paper receipts also contaminates paper recycling and is showing up in napkins, toilet paper and other common papers with recycled content.

On a more encouraging note, Wisconsin's Appleton Papers, the world's largest thermal paper maker, removed BPA from its products in 2006. And the EPA has since launched a program to evaluate the safety and availability of alternatives to BPA in thermal paper. Public health advocates and environmentalists, of course, would like to see BPA phased out entirely.

one of 20 people out of approximately 1,500 selected by three casting agents as a featured talent for Starcast Auditions, a website created by industry professionals to introduce top talent to Hollywood.

It was a surprise for Howes, who had submitted her video on a whim after her acting teacher, John Ruskin, suggested she give the site a try.

“I saw myself and it was cool, it felt good,” Howes said.

Howes and her family moved to Santa Monica a year ago on a spur of the moment decision. Her sister Catelyn, recently graduated from New York University, came to California and the rest of the family packed up their Atlanta home in three weeks and followed.

It was quite a switch for Kathleen.

Though she has no accent, Howes was a Georgia girl. She’d only attended small private schools, and transitioning to Samohi, with its 3,500-member student body, was something of a shock.

She needed an activity, something to help ease her way into her new life. What she had was talent.

“She’s a type,” said Gary Beer, founder of Starcast Auditions. “More importantly than that, she nailed it. We were looking to catch a medium shot of the actor, and she was captivating.”

Uncovering talent like Kathleen is why Beer created Starcast Auditions. The site sets itself apart from normal listing services because professional casting agents review and give direction to the submitters. The few that are chosen to be featured are put up on the website every two weeks, when a new round of tapes is reviewed.

The service will be free until April, while

PETS FROM PAGE 1 owes $76 million, state officials said.

Los Angeles has sought the most: more than $10 million; Contra Costa County was No. 2 with claims over $6 million.

Thousands of pet owners and animal welfare groups across the country have lined up to fight the repeal, saying it would lead to countless deaths — not just canine and felines.

The law also requires shelters to hold rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, pot-bellied pigs, birds, lizards, snakes, tortoises and turtles for three days. Without the mandate, they could be killed immediately.

“It would also degrade shelter operations, as well as morale and ultimately the character of shelter workers, by altering the mandated focus of animal control agencies from lifesaving back to the failed catch-and-kill orientation of the bad old days,” said Best Friends Animal Society co-founder Francis Battista.

All of the shelters covered by the law are kill shelters, operated by cities or counties that have to accept every animal. No-kill shelters and rescues keep animals until they are placed, but don’t have to accept animals if they are full.

Of the 867,529 dogs and cats that entered city or county shelters in 2010, 455,045 were euthanized, 97,035 were claimed by owners, 157,266 were adopted and 58,939 were transferred to other shelters, according to the California Department of Public Health.

Those numbers do not include animals that died of other causes, were stolen or escaped.

The state’s legislative analyst said a 2008 review found that holding animals longer

Beer and his partners build a reputation and trust within the industry. After it’s proven, the team will put in a pay wall.

“It’s so different from anything else that’s out there, and we wanted to build credibility in the acting community,” Beer said. “We really need to have a credible group of best performers.”

It’s a godsend for actors like Howes, who have the chops but no credentials in the television or movie fields to back them up.

Howes honed her acting skills as a youth working with a company that traveled to inner-city schools to perform instructional skits like Aesop’s Fables to pre-schoolers and kindergarteners. As a result, much of her experience comes in the musical and stage field.

Switching it up for a television camera presented a challenge.

“It’s completely different than what I’ve done so far,” Howes said. “When I’m doing theater, it takes a while to develop a character because you’re making it more animated.

You have to deal with the blocking you’re given, and work as an ensemble.”

Acting for the camera requires subtlety and a natural quality that comes off too understated for the stage.

It’s something she’s been drilling with her new coach, Ruskin, who acted as an advisor to the Starcast team when Beer and his counterparts were still developing it.

Ruskin introduced Howes to Starcast, and encouraged her to send in her winning video.

Despite her success, Howes feels she can improve from the submission for Starcast.

That tape has already earned her a number of auditions and looks for parts in films and television.

“I didn’t think I did my best, but it was fine,” she said. ashley@smdp.com

did not improve their chances for adoption, it just increased the number of animals people had to choose from.

But Los Angeles County supervisors disputed that finding. In a Feb. 6 letter to Brown, supervisors said more than 1,100 lost pets were returned to their owners after the third day last year.

Under Hayden’s Law, most shelters put lost or stray pets up for adoption after the third day, so if they had been euthanized after three days, those 1,100 pets wouldn’t have been reunited with their families.

Animal advocacy groups, including the Humane Society of the United States, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Best Friends are circulating petitions to block the budget cut.

Among their claims is that euthanasia costs more because each animal has to be lethally injected with a controlled substance by a qualified veterinarian or vet technician and the carcass has to be disposed.

Some pet supporters have suggested the state should continue what it’s currently doing and what it’s done three other times in the last 14 years: suspend the law, so the state doesn’t have to make reimbursements and shelters don’t have to follow the law.

During the suspensions, some shelters have cut down hold times, but most, including the state’s largest shelter system — the city of Los Angeles — have continued to offer longer holding periods “because it is the humane thing to do,” said UCLA law professor Taimie Bryant, who wrote Hayden’s Law. “If you repeal these laws, when the economy improves, the animals won’t share in the improvements,” Bryant said.

“Suspension is temporary, repeal is permanent.”

WHITNEY FROM PAGE 3 musical tribute to Houston by Jennifer Hudson, and early on LL Cool J introduced a clip of a glowing Houston singing one of her best-known songs, “I Will Always Love You.” LL Cool J then said: “Whitney, we will always love you.”

Houston herself won six Grammys and had been expected to perform at the preawards gala Saturday night thrown by music impresario Clive Davis, her longtime mentor.

Davis went ahead with his annual party and concert, which were held at the same hotel where Houston’s body was found — and where it remained for most of Saturday night. He dedicated the evening to her and asked for a moment of silence.

Houston had been at rehearsals for the Davis concert on Thursday, coaching singers Brandy and Monica, according to a person who was at the event but was not authorized to speak publicly about it.

The person said Houston looked disheveled, was sweating profusely and liquor and cigarettes could be smelled on her breath. It was the latest of countless stories about the decline of a uniquely gifted and beautiful artist, once the golden girl of the music industry.

The Rev. Al Sharpton remembered Houston while preaching Sunday morning at the Second Baptist Church in Los Angeles.

“Yes, she had an outstanding range,” he said. “Yes, she could hit notes no one else could reach. But what made her different was she was born and bred in the bosom of the black church.”

The congregation applauded and answered him with shouts of “Amen” and “Tell it!”

“A lot of artists can hit notes but they don’t hit us. Say words but they have no meaning. Have gifts and talent but no anointing. Something about Whitney that would reach in you and make you feel,” Sharpton said.

A sensation from her very first album, she was one of the world’s best-selling artists from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s. She awed millions with soaring, but disciplined vocals rooted in gospel and polished for the masses, a bridge between the earthy passion of her godmother, Aretha Franklin, and the bouncy pop of her cousin, Dionne Warwick.

Her success carried her beyond music to movies, where she became a rare black actress with box office appeal, starring in such hits as “The Bodyguard” and “Waiting to Exhale.” Bishop T.D. Jakes, a Texas minister and producer on Houston’s final film project, a re-make of the 1970s release “Sparkle,” said he saw no signs she was having any substance issues. He said Houston

was a complete professional and moved the cast and crew to tears two months ago when she sang the gospel hymn “Her Eyes on the Sparrow” for a scene shot in Detroit.

“There was no evidence in working with her on ‘Sparkle’ that there was any struggle in her life,” Jakes said Sunday. “She just left a deep impression on everybody.”

She had the perfect voice and the perfect image: gorgeous, but wholesome; grounded, but un-loving. And she influenced a generation of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey, who when she first came out, sounded so much like Houston that many couldn’t tell the difference.

But by the end of her career, Houston had become a stunning and heartbreaking cautionary tale. Her album sales plummeted and the hits stopped coming; her once serene image was shattered by a wild demeanor and bizarre public appearances.

She confessed to abusing cocaine, marijuana and pills, and her precious voice became raspy and hoarse, unable to hit the high notes of her prime.

“The biggest devil is me. I’m either my best friend or my worst enemy,” Houston told ABC’s Diane Sawyer in an infamous 2002 interview with then-husband Brown by her side.

In her teens, Houston sang backup for Chaka Khan, Jermaine Jackson and others, in addition to modeling. Clive Davis, who as head of Arista Records had already signed up Warwick and Franklin, was instantly smitten by the statuesque young singer.

“The time that I first saw her singing in her mother’s act in a club ... it was such a stunning impact,” Davis told “Good Morning America.”

“To hear this young girl breathe such fire into this song. I mean, it really sent the proverbial tingles up my spine,” he added.

Before long, the rest of the country would feel it, too. Houston made her album debut in 1985 with “Whitney Houston,” which sold millions and spawned hit after hit. “Saving All My Love for You” brought the singer her first Grammy, for best female pop vocal.

“How Will I Know,” “You Give Good Love” and “The Greatest Love of All” also became hit singles.

Another multiplatinum album, “Whitney,” came out in 1987 and included “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” and “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.”

Some saw her 1992 marriage to Brown, the former New Edition member and soul crooner, as an attempt to toughen her image. It seemed to be an odd union; she was seen as pop’s pure princess while he had a bad-boy image and already had children of his own.

(The couple had one daughter, Bobbi Kristina, born in 1993.) Over the years, he would be arrested several times, on charges including DUI and failure to pay child support.

Petition signers not giving up UND nickname fight DAVE KOLPACK Associated Press

FARGO, N.D. More than two months after the University of North Dakota officially dropped its divisive nickname, the public address announcer at a women’s basketball game welcomed it back with a familiar roar: “Here come your Fighting Sioux!”

Last week’s return was bittersweet for some supporters of the moniker, reportedly born some 80 years ago from anonymous letters to a student newspaper but since decried as racist by many American Indians and the NCAA. The nickname was resurrected after residents generated 17,000 signatures seeking to put the issue to a statewide vote. As part of that process, a since-repealed state law requiring the school to use the nickname went back into effect — even though the university, the state Board of Higher Education and local lawmakers want it gone.

However, in this decades-old controversy that has endured seven years of legal and political maneuvering, the moniker’s supporters are hoping to pull out a last-ditch victory.

“I’m passionate about this,” said Doug Samuelson, 36, of Minot, who signed the petition before a Disney On Ice show in Bismarck. “I guess I feel it’s never been a race issue. I always thought it was more about pride than anything else.”

Other North Dakota residents, some of whom even back the nickname, have grown weary of the decades-old debate. Steve Huber, a UND graduate, said he did not sign the petition and will vote no on the referendum.

“As hard as this is to say, because I am not a big fan of conceding to those in the minority on an issue, I think it is time to put this thing to bed,” said Huber, 37, of Oxbow. “Go with the University of North Dakota. No nickname.”

The referendum’s backers pooh-poohed state legislators who dropped a push to make the nickname law and brushed aside arguments that NCAA sanctions would hurt the school’s athletic programs and its affiliation with the Big Sky Conference.

Some of those signers contacted by The Associated Press said they resent being depicted as hostile to American Indians and being told what to do with the state’s flagship university.

A.D. Holm Jr., 56, of Fargo, who attended rival North Dakota State, said he thinks the UND name tradition is important and that there is “resentment” over the push to change it.

UND’s athletic teams were first — albeit unofficially — known as the Nodaks beginning in the late 1800s, according to school documents. The student body adopted the name Flickertails in 1911, although a logo was not created. The Sioux nickname was

adopted after a campaign by the student newspaper in 1930. It’s not clear when it was amended to Fighting Sioux.

The school used various Indian head logos and cartoon illustrations on its uniforms from the 1940s through the 1960s. In 1965, the hockey team began wearing on its jerseys a Blackhawk logo similar to Chicago’s NHL team. The school introduced a geometric-shape Indian logo in 1976, but the hockey team continued with the Blackhawk moniker.

The Blackhawk symbol was taken off hockey jerseys in 1993, and in 1999 a new Indian logo designed by UND alumnus Bennett Brien, an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa based in North Dakota, was unveiled. The men’s hockey team continued to use that logo after the nickname was retired in December and were waiting on new jerseys, school officials said. Other teams dropped the logo.

Minot attorney Reed Soderstrom, chairman of the referendum campaign, has said he hoped the campaign would end arguments about the nickname “once and for all.” His group planned to release a statement this week regarding comments by school officials critical of the referendum.

Soderstrom’s group is seeking to both restore the state law requiring UND to keep its nickname and change North Dakota’s Constitution to say the school’s teams will be known as the Fighting Sioux. That petition is due in August.

Brian Faison, the UND athletic director, said the tone has turned more serious among leaders in the Big Sky who don’t want the debate on their campuses, and called it another roadblock to recruiting players.

Asked about the number of petition signers, Faison said there are people who don’t believe the seriousness of the NCAA penalties or whether the Big Sky will turn its back on UND. He called “absurd” suggestions that the Big Sky needs UND more than the school needs the conference.

“On the other hand, we all have to understand that there’s an absolutely incredible, passionate fan base out there that loves the logo and nickname and they want to do everything they can to see if it can be protected,” he said. “The reality for us is, it’s going to have all these other consequences that are really going to damage the athletic program.”

Troy Krogstad, 43, of Grand Forks, acknowledged he has concerns about the school losing favor with the Big Sky, but he said he signed the petition anyway because he’s unhappy voters haven’t had their say.

“I don’t think a conference like that should dictate what a school does,” Krogstad said.

Holm acknowledged possible setbacks to the athletic program, but was hoping that one last push would change minds.

What happened to Tiger on Sunday?

TIM DAHLBERG AP Sports Columnist

The pretenders were as obedient as ever and folded early, just like they always seemed to when Tiger Woods was in his prime.

Still mostly ahead of him was a course he knew well, one where he once rewrote the record books. Beside him was a player he knew well, a guy who used to always look for an excuse to blink.

It was the perfect opportunity to put more than two years of misery behind him.

The perfect time to make the statement that, yes, he was finally back.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing perfect about Tiger Woods anymore.

He used to threaten to make history every time he teed off. Now he just makes excuses, and they all sound the same.

He says he’s at peace with himself, and that may well be true. Put him in a red shirt on Sunday, though, and the demons seem to all come back.

It happened last time out in Dubai, when a mop-haired Englishman who had won only one time in his career stared him down in the final round. It happened again on Sunday at Pebble Beach, where he seemed to be trying so hard not to fail that he gave himself no chance to succeed.

Phil Mickelson blew by him like Woods was playing in the pro-am instead of teeing it up with the big boys. Things got so bad you almost wanted him to move up to the forward tees, where at least his amateur partner Tony Romo was finding some success.

He walked up the 18th fairway to the cheers everyone expected when the day began. But they were for Mickelson, who had walked ahead of him after stiffing a wedge to the final green.

It got worse. Mickelson was already in the hole for his final round 64 when Woods lipped out one final short putt for a big, fat 75. He could have — make that should have — putted out before Mickelson to avoid the final embarrassment, but Woods never really practiced the proper etiquette for finishing out of contention.

For what seems like forever now we’ve been asking what’s wrong with Tiger. Now the question becomes what’s wrong with Tiger on Sunday?

The record books will show he lost by nine shots in a tournament he trailed by only two on the final day. Even worse, he was thrashed by Mickelson, his playing partner, by a stunning 11 shots.

Say what you will about his game getting

so much better that he has been in contention in his four more recent tournaments. This would have never happened to the Tiger Woods of old.

He didn’t always win on Sundays, even if it seemed that way. But he was never blown out the way Mickelson disposed of him on a course where he was once untouchable.

“Anything I tried to do wasn’t working,” Woods said. “What was frustrating was I had a chance, all I had to do was get off to a good, solid start today and I didn’t do that.”

Actually, the start wasn’t all that bad. It was the middle, where Woods missed two short putts in a row and made three bogeys in a row that destroyed what little chance he had left. By then his body language had conceded defeat, even if he hadn’t.

To put his round in perspective, only four of the 68 players who teed off on the final day shot worse. On a day Pebble Beach was there for the taking, Woods got taken.

And then the excuses began.

“I didn’t hit it as bad as the score indicated, but I putted awful,” he said. “I just could not see my lines. I couldn’t get comfortable.”

For those keeping score at home, he hasn’t won a real tournament (I don’t count the 16-man invitational he hosts and won in December, though Woods does) in 27 months; hasn’t won on the PGA Tour in 29 months. It’s been nearly four years since he won his last major at Torrey Pines, and he’s now 36 with a history of knee issues.

That doesn’t mean he’s not going to win again. He surely will, because he’s still immensely talented. But those wins will come sporadically instead of in bunches, the way they used to.

The majors will be more problematic.

Woods might still win a Masters or two, if only because he knows where to play every shot, every putt, at Augusta National. He might pick up a stray British Open or maybe a PGA Championship, assuming that he can get himself to believe once again that he becomes invincible when he puts on his Sunday red.

The majors are how Woods keeps score, and right now Jack Nicklaus is still ahead 1814. It was almost a foregone conclusion after the U.S. Open in 2008 that he would catch Nicklaus, but my guess now is he never will.

His personal issues and constant swing tinkering threw him a curve ball that will be tough to recover from. But it’s more his putting now, with his nerves betraying him on short putts that were always gimmes in his prime. That happens to golfers as they age, and it’s happening to even the great Tiger Woods.

There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing.

Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

■ "Dementiaville": Swiss health officials have authorized construction of an assisted-living "village" of 1950s-style homes and gardens designed to "remind" patients with Alzheimer's and similar afflictions of surroundings that they might actually recall and with which they might be more comfortable and secure than they are with modern life. The 150-resident grounds, near the city of Bern, will be similar to a Dutch facility set up in 2009 in a suburb of Amsterdam. "To reinforce an atmosphere of normality," reported London's The Independent in January, the Swiss caretakers will dress as gardeners, hairdressers, shop assistants and the like.

■ The varsity girls' basketball teams at predominantly white Kenmore East High School near Buffalo, N.Y., have, for several years, apparently, psyched themselves up in a pre-game lockerroom ritual by chanting, "One, Two, Three, (n-word (plural))!" before running out the door and onto the court. Although the white players this year called the use of the word a "tradition" (passed down from year to year), and not a racial "label," the team's only black player not surprisingly had a problem with it and reported it to school officials.

According to a December Buffalo News report, it was always a players-only tradition, and no adult was aware of the chant, but upon learning of it, officials immediately imposed player suspensions and team penalties.
