THE WHAT JUST HAPPENED? ISSUE

One-way decisions Los Angeles and SM debate future fate of Pico, Olympic boulevards and their directions

BY KEVIN HERRERA Daily Press Staff Writer

EASTSIDE The thought of making Olympic and Pico boulevards one-way streets has Charles Burns smiling like a kid on Christmas morning.

“I think it’s great,” the mortgage broker said following an afternoon workout Friday at a nearby gym. “It can take me as much as an hour just to get from Santa Monica to Westwood during rush hour. It’s literally like a parking lot, so anything they can do to help, I’m all for it.”

Burns isn’t the only one. The idea of making the major thoroughfares flow in opposite directions from downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica is gaining momentum and generating buzz throughout the Westside.

But his coaching philosophy is anything but immature.

Announced as the new head coach of the SMC men’s basketball team on Thursday, Teplitzky spoke about his personal recipe for building a successful team, starting with instilling both modesty and common courtesy into his players.

“There is something that comes with being an athlete on a college campus,” he said. “I want the kids on campus dayto-day to be humble and handle that in the right way and not take advantage of that kind of stature.”

COMMUNITYPROFILES JOHN KERWIN

To wish upon a late-night star

BY KEVIN HERRERA Daily Press Staff Writer

PCH Considering his first guest was a volley ball, John Kerwin has come a long way the last six years in his quest to become a legend in late night, even if guests for his 52nd show taped last week at Santa Monica’s Time Warner studios consisted of B-listers Eric Roberts, estranged brother of Julia Roberts, and Nikki Ziering, a former “Price is Right” model.

“We’re a very humble show, but we have big dreams and we want it to be successful,” said Kerwin, who has the jovial, neighborly look of a Jay Leno and the self-deprecating humor of Conan O ’Brien. “We have a very low budget and we make do with what we have, (which is) a 30-person team of soldiers who work for free and are very dedicated. It’s

a great mix of people from those just starting out in the business, and those who are very accomplished.”

To prove how low-budget his cableaccess show is, Kerwin, who lives in a studio apartment in Mar Vista that serves as storage for his set, reached around to the back of his neck and pulled out a price tag from The GAP that was still attached to his sport coat.

Just like the $160 ties he wears on his shows, the jacket will be returned in a few days to make room for a new outfit.

“GAP has a great return policy,” Kerwin, who works in Santa Monica, said with a grin, seemingly proud of the fact that he is making his dream a reality, even if that means sacrificing his social life in the process. “The show pretty much takes up most of my life.

Whatever free time I have, I am devoting it to writing for the next show.”

SAY CHEESE: John Kerwin.

SANTA MONICA Hollywood’s starmakers always are on the lookout for a fresh new face and they found one in Mae Laborde, albeit of the wrinkled variety. The 97-yearold Laborde is just four years into her acting career and hotter than ever. Standing 4-feet10, with snow-white hair, rosy-red cheeks and a sweet-as-peaches-and-cream smile, she’s becoming TV’s ubiquitous grandma.

She was “Wheel of Fortune’s” Vanna White (40 years in the future) for a recent episode of “MADtv.” She was the stunned fiancee whose boyfriend finally gets around to proposing in a jewelry commercial. She faced down the Grim Reaper himself in a bit about elderly people without health insurance for “Real Time With Bill Maher.”

She’s also been a cheerleader on ESPN, appeared in a Lexus commercial, had a recurring role on Spike Feresten’s “Talkshow” and had a role in a JP Morgan Chase Bank commercial.

“Now that one paid good!” says Laborde, eyes twinkling under knitted brows and behind rhinestone glasses. Then, lowering her voice conspiratorially, she adds, “I mean like a few hundred dollars.”

As she speaks, she sits perched on the living room couch of her small Southern California home, just a couple blocks from the beach.

So what’s the secret to her lateblooming success? She never had any training and, until four years ago, the closest she came to show business was working as a bookkeeper in the late bandleader Lawrence Welk’s office.

“I’m just a natural,” she says with a broad smile as she heads to her dining room table to sift through some of her press clippings.

It’s not unheard of for actors to work well into their 90s, of course. Think George Burns and Bob Hope or, more recently, Gloria Stuart of “Titanic” fame. But all of them started in the business young, unlike Laborde who didn’t earn her Screen Actors Guild card until she was in her mid-90s.

Her acting career was started by a 2002 Los Angeles Times story.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PUBLISHER Ross Furukawa

Bill Bauer

Get your facts straight Editor:

In your article on March 23 entitled “Animal activists may sue” (page 1) you repeated the allegation of a group of activists who were protesting in front of the house of UCLA Professor Nelson Freimer that he abuses primates, depriving them of water. You should know that this allegation is totally false. Dr. Freimer does not keep monkeys in small cages, he does not separate mothers from infants, he does not deprive monkeys of water, and he is not involved in any procedures that cause pain and suffering to the animals, as has been repeatedly stated or implied by the protestors. In fact Professor Freimer conducts groundbreaking genetic research — which creates opportunities for important scientific breakthroughs in our understanding of and ability to prevent and treat human diseases — and which has minimal impact on the research animals. Professor Freimer is among our most distinguished faculty members and is internationally recognized for his research on mental illnesses.

The mischaracterization of Professor Freimer’s work, as well as the unwarranted personal attacks on his character and professional reputation, is something that we at UCLA feel needs to be corrected for the record, particularly for the Santa Monica community and his neighbors. Unfortunately, like many other unfounded and malicious statements bandied about by animal activists these lies are meant to turn public opinion against animal research. Such research is a necessary and extremely well regulated research tool in our fight against disease.

Roberto Peccei Vice Chancellor for Research UCLA

Enjoying Santa Monica’s history Editor:

I really enjoy reading all the historical articles regarding Santa Monica.

I grew up in Ocean Park during the 40s and am still here today. Dad had a repair shop on the northeast corner of Main and Marine Streets in the Carlton Hotel parking lot. My brother had the Richfield on the northwest corner of Main and Marine Streets (now a parking lot). Where Patagonia now resides was our neighborhood market. Up in Santa Monica we had a shop across from Sears as well as at Third Street and Colorado Avenue until it was destroyed to build the Santa Monica Place mall in the late 70s.

Here’s one story that seems to surprise most people.

On the southwest corner of Fourth Street and Colorado Avenue sits the original Sears gas station.

This may be the last Sears station of this type left in the U.S. and it’s in perfect condition. These buildings were all torn down no later that the 60s and replaced with a more modern version. In this case, the brick building across the street was built instead just before the freeway cut through town in the mid 60s.

The canopy sticking out from the front of the building (facing Colorado) covers where the gas pumps were. On the back (south side of the building) is a roll up door. That’s how the car got inside to be worked on. There was a Texaco, Shell and (my dad’s) Signal across the street that had been there for years. Sears stopped selling gas when the new building was completed.

Remember the Allstate car you could buy from the Sears and Roebuck catalog? It was really a Kaiser Henry J, with an Allstate emblem. There are Allstate collectors that have websites. If you would like to see what the car looks like, type in something like “Allstate car". Their cars were very basic and were only made to last a couple of years.

You could also buy a prefab Sears (Craftsmen) house in the catalog and assemble it in a couple of days on your vacant lot... but that’s another story.

Residents’ views THE CITY’S PLANNING DEPARTMENT

has been holding a series of “Placemaking Workshops" asking residents what they’d like to see in the Santa Monica of the future.

Input from these citizen involved workshops will be incorporated into the master development plan for the city which will determine the size, shape and future of Santa Monica for the next twenty years or more.

The land use and circulation elements (referred to as LUCE) goes before the City Council for approval in the Spring of 2008.

About 70 people from the Wilshire/Montana and Mid-Cities neighborhoods attended Wednesday’s meeting which consisted of an overview of the planning process and a hands-on workshop.

Most of the session centered on a future Wilshire Boulevard.

Urban design has a number of elements ranging from kinds of development to their height and density. Accessibility to the street, usage such as retail, commercial, housing and parking or a combination of the above are important considerations.

How high and dense should street facades be? What about the mix of businesses?

More cafes or less? Theaters? Doctor and dental offices? Markets? Large chain stores or smaller “mom and pops"?

The street itself comes into play. How many traffic lanes? Mass transit? Bicycle lanes? How much greenery? Where?

Widen sidewalks? Street parking? How does the retail street relate to adjacent residential areas? Crosswalks? Traffic signalization?

The City’s long term bias against motor vehicles was still apparent. The presentation mentioned “Pedestrians and bicycles over automobiles." Traffic management here is still very much a one way street and city staff worked ha--rd to get people to buy into the "Three Bs — busses, boots and bicycles” philosophy. Unfortunately all the devices the City uses to “slow traffic” such as curb extensions, planter islands, less and narrower traffic lanes and uncoordinated traffic signals have just created more gridlock.

I was amazed to find out extended sidewalk bumpouts at intersections are supposed to slow cars making turns. Is that really a problem? I guess our traffic planners think that’s more onerous than blocking traffic on side streets when someone’s turning left or when a large vehicle or truck drives into oncoming traffic lanes while attempting a turn when there isn’t enough room.

City planners must recognize that we all must be able to get in and out of our neighborhoods. And right now, landscaped median planters and attractive sidewalks must take second seat to safe and timely access to and from homes from jobs, schools or shopping centers via private motor vehicle.

As in other City presentations I’ve attended, the audience broke into smaller groups to work on their visions of the area ranging roughly from 11th to 17th Streets, centering on Wilshire Boulevard and including adjacent multifamily apartment blocks. The comments from the working

groups were interesting. Some suggested building housing on the parking lots.

Others suggested redeveloping larger commercial properties such as the Vons and Rite Aid on Wilshire’s 1300 block as a combination of commercial, retail and housing.

PARENTING

THE CITY’S LONG TERM BIAS AGAINST MOTOR VEHICLES WAS STILL APPARENT. THE PRESENTATION MENTIONED ‘PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLES OVER AUTOMOBILES.’ One spokeswoman complained about stinky sidewalks in front of Vons and Rite Aid — effluent from the vagrants that hang out there. While we can talk about zoning codes that will create pleasant walking streets with wide, attractive sidewalks, pedestrian friendly crosswalks, inviting and accessible store fronts, trees and landscaping — residents really want clean sidewalks and an end to vagrants who camp, harass and intimidate passersby.

I left the meeting about nine o’clock.

While walking home up 14th Street, I encountered what might have been at least two transients on the sidewalk next to Lincoln Middle School. It was dark and impossible to see who was there except for the loaded shopping cart blocking the sidewalk. I crossed the street thinking, “The City expects people to walk and enjoy their neighborhoods by stepping around the bums and who-knows what?”

And, while its fun for grown adults to cut out pieces of colored paper and play “urban planner,” the reality is that as long as the pedestrian experience is unpleasant or perceived as unsafe, people will avoid their own neighborhood for shopping or other purposes, all together — unless they drive Case in point. I walk up to Montana Avenue at least three times a week. I can’t remember a time that I haven’t had a risky or annoying experience with rude drivers who bolt out of alleys, cut me off or turn in front of me while I’m on a sidewalk or in a marked crosswalk. Streetscape beautification and vehicular traffic mitigation isn’t going to stop boorish driving and could actually worsen it You have one more chance to be heard on the future of Santa Monica and that’s Thursday, April 5, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Olympic High School Cafeteria. Be there or be square.

Are You Ready?

Word in Edgewise Send comments to editor@smdp.com

Nancy Pelosi is the real speaker of Washington has shifted away from the White House, down Pennsylvania Avenue, and has rested squarely in the office of the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. For proof, you need look no further than sthe spending bill she just pushed through the House. It was a time-consuming effort which wasn’t at all cost-effective, but she got it done.

The Speaker had to add about $20 bi llion to the bill funding military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan in order to make it palatable for those members with weaker stomachs (and hungry constituents) and she had to do some serious hand-holding with the anti-war caucus in order to convince them that this was as close as they were going to get to a full, immediate withdrawal. After weeks of negotiations, she collected the 218 votes required and the bill passed — establishing a timeline for withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq. In announcing the passage of the bill, the Speaker said, “proudly, this Congress has voted to bring an end to the war in Iraq,” and, “the American people have lost faith in the President’s conduct of this war. The American people see the reality of the war, the President does not.”

The only problem is she missed her opportunity to re-frame the debate around our Iraq policy — in that she’s still calling it a “war.”

Language creates — and the misuse of language can create mistaken impressions.

U.S. military operations in Iraq could have been called a “war” in March of 2003 when we first invaded. But after a few weeks of “shock and awe,” Saddam Hussein was in hiding, we had taken the capital, and the war (such as it was) was over. In fact, the President himself said “major combat operations have ended” in May of that year.

Yet our military is still there, fighting and dying, to provide security in Iraq. It’s been a long time since ninth-grade social studies, but if I’m not mistaken, the correct term for the invasion, conquest, and control of a nation by foreign armed forces is “occupation,” not “war.” This misapplication of the English language is also what leads “civil war” to become “sectarian violence” and turns U.S. military “advisers” into American “targets.”

But by allowing the President to continue to refer to military operations in Iraq as a “war,” the Speaker is still playing defense, reacting to the whims of the White House,

and conceding the Iraq issue to the President as commander in chief. She cleverly avoided the predictable charge that she was endangering troops in the field by actually giving the President more money than he requested for Iraq and Afghanistan, but still left herself and her Democratic colleagues in Congress open to the charge that they are “micromanaging the war” by requiring the Iraqi government to achieve certain goals in order for U.S. forces to stay and continue to provide security. It’s time to play offense so that as soon as the “war” becomes what it really is (an “occupation”), the President’s role as commander in chief is diminished — since Iraq wouldn’t be a military operation overseen by the Department of Defense (professional killers), it would be a political effort managed by the Department of State (professional diplomats). It’s safe to say that My Fellow Americans would be more agreeable to much stricter Congressional oversight of a $100 billion reconstruction project (in which Americans are being killed) than a military operation (in which they expect casualties).

If the Speaker and the Democrats in Congress really saw “the reality” of our military operations in Iraq (over 3,200 killed, over 24,000 wounded, $80 billion spent each month, and no end in sight), they would have already begun counting votes in the Senate. They would be working on the 20 Republicans who are up for re-election next November and getting them on the record as being opposed to an open-ended commitment in Iraq.

Norm Coleman can’t go back to Minnesota and admit he’s standing with the President and not the troops. John Cornyn of Texas, Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina, and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee barely won their last elections, so you know they were paying attention when Democrats swept into power in November.

This group represents the 10 votes it will take to bring our troops home.

The Speaker of the House did her job.

It’s now up to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to find out what it will take to get these people on board — and dare the President to veto it.

WASHINGTON A billion-dollar-a-year federal reading program that ran into scathing criticism over conflicts of interest now has a new one: The government contractor that set up the program for the Education Department is also part of the team hired to evaluate it.

Reading First — part of President Bush’s signature No Child Left Behind education law — has been under scrutiny following a string of federal reports that found it rife with conflicts of interest and mismanagement. The program provides intense reading help to low-income children in the early elementary grades.

RMC Research Corp. was the contractor hired to establish and implement the program starting in 2002, under three contracts worth about $40 million.

Recently, the Department of Education inspector general reported that RMC failed to keep the program free of conflicts of interest. For example, RMC did not screen subcontractors for relationships with publishers of reading programs.

Now, Reading First is in the midst of a five-year evaluation under a 2003 contract with a team that includes RMC, which is based in Portsmouth, N.H. Congress required the review, spelling out that it must be an “independent evaluation.”

That didn’t mean for the contractor that set up the program to have any role in reviewing it, said Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy, who chairs the education committee.

“It’s a classic case of the fox guarding the chicken coop,” Kennedy said Friday.

Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., chairman of

the House education committee, raised similar concerns when notified Friday of RMC’s role in the evaluation.

“RMC played a significant role in the implementation of Reading First and, according to the inspector general, a sometimes flawed role. If it’s true that RMC was also hired to evaluate the effectiveness of the very program it was hired to help implement, then the conflict of interest could not be any clearer,” Miller said.

IT’S A CLASSIC CASE OF THE FOX GUARDING THE CHICKEN COOP Sen. Edward Kenned Chair of Education Committee

Both lawmakers have been investigating Reading First, and Miller announced Friday he would hold a hearing on the issue April 20.

Reading First also has been the subject of investigations by the inspector general and the Government Accountability Office, Congress’ investigative arm.

The inspector general found that federal officials intervened to influence state and local decisions about reading programs, a potential violation of the law. The GAO reported states received suggestions from federal officials or contractors to adopt or eliminate certain programs or tests.

The inspector general also reported that a consultant to the program, working under RMC, may have inappropriately pushed a particular brand of reading assessment when dealing with states.

Muslims threaten to sue

BY PATRICK CONDON Associated Press Writer

MINNEAPOLIS Six Muslim men removed from a plane last fall after being accused of suspicious behavior are suing the airline and threatening to sue the passengers who complained — a move some fear could discourage travelers from speaking up when they see something unusual.

The civil rights lawsuit, filed earlier this month, has so alarmed some lawyers that they are offering to defend the unnamed “John Doe” passengers listed as “possible defendants” free of charge. They say it is vital that the flying public be able to report suspicious behavior without fear of being dragged into court.

“When you drive up the road towards the airport, there’s a big road sign that says, `Report suspicious behavior,"’ said Gerry Nolting, a Minneapolis lawyer. “There’s no disclaimer that adds, `But beware if you do that, you might get sued."’

The six imams were taken off a Phoenixbound US Airways flight on Nov. 20 while returning home from a conference of Islamic clerics in Minneapolis.

Other passengers had gotten nervous when the men were seen praying and chanting in Arabic as they waited to board. Some

passengers also said that the men spoke of Saddam Hussein and cursed the United States; that they requested seat belt extenders with heavy buckles and stowed them under their seats; that they were moving about and conferring with each other during boarding; and that they sat separately in seats scattered through the cabin.

The plane was cleared for a security sweep, nothing was found, and the jet took off without the imams.

The Muslim clerics say they were humiliated, and are seeking unspecified damages from the airline, the Minneapolis airport and, potentially, the John Does.

Omar Mohammedi, the New York City attorney for the imams, said the intent is not to go after passengers who raise valid concerns about security. But he suggested some passengers may have acted in bad faith out of prejudice.

“As an attorney, I have seen a lot of abuse by the general public when it comes to members of the community creating stories that do not exist,” Mohammedi said.

He denied the imams were talking about Saddam, and said that their seats were assigned and that they requested extenders because their seat belts didn’t fit. Some fear such lawsuits could weaken what has already been done against terrorism.

Judge stops payments

BY RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press Writer

Rewards for each wolf killed will be coming to an end ANCHORAGE, Alaska A judge on Friday halted Alaska’s $150 payments for each wolf killed under its predator control program.

Conservation groups lauded the decision by state Superior Court Judge William Morse granting their request for a temporary stop to what they called an illegal bounty. Plaintiffs are suing the state to terminate the predator control program altogether, but said Friday’s ruling was significant.

“If our goal is to offer as much resistance as possible, we have done that with abundance,” said Priscilla Feral, president of Darien, Conn.-based Friends of Animals. “As for torpedoing the entire Draconian wolf control program, that’s the litigation that continues.”

Her group and other plaintiffs, including Defenders of Wildlife and the Alaska chapter of the Sierra Club, asked the court Tuesday to stop the payments. They cited a decision by the Alaska Legislature more than two decades ago that revoked any authority the state Department of Fish and Game had to pay bounties to hunters.

The state announced the so-called incentive earlier this month for its program in which wolves are shot by hunters from airplanes. Hunter and pilot teams with state permits were offered $150 for each wolf killed when the left front leg was turned in.

Fish and Game officials have said the legs can help biologists determine wolf age and assist the program in the future. Officials deny the payments are bounties, saying such payoffs in the past were made to almost anyone who could offer proof of a kill. The new incentive program was called a controlled effort to reach the state’s management objec-

tives and boost moose and caribou numbers in five specific areas.

Friday’s ruling does not affect the predator control effort under which more than 660 wolves have been killed in four years.

The program runs in the winter months and this year ends April 30.

“The judge issued a very narrow restraining order aimed at the payment incentive,” said Matt Robus, director of the agency’s Division of Wildlife Conservation.

“Obviously we will heed his order and stop doing that.”

The incentives had aimed to help pilots pay for gas and boost income in households participating in the program. Previously, the only compensation for pilot and gunner teams permitted under the program was the open market price for the wolf pelt, anywhere from $200 to $300 each.

The program is far behind its goal of killing up to 680 wolves this year. About 150 wolves have been killed to date this winter, and that number includes wolves killed by trappers and other hunters.

Critics of the program said the numbers were low because the state has overestimated the number of wolves, based on outdated information. The state estimates the number of wolves at between about 7,000 and 11,000 animals. But Defenders of Wildlife has said the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service puts the number at between 6,000 and 7,000 animals.

Robus has said the program lagged in some areas because of too little fresh snow to track wolves.

Robus said the agency would weigh possible options to the incentive program, including some discussed in court, such as offering a fuel subsidy or enlisting the Alaska Board of Game to enact regulations for cash incentives.

“I think it was ill-advised to propose the bounty program in the first place,” said Tom Banks, an Alaska associate for Defenders of Wildlife. “We think it would be a great idea for the state to put the money from the bounty program toward conducting a proper survey.”

FDA testing reveals no rat poison in tainted pet food

BY ANDREW BRIDGES Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON Recalled pet foods contained a chemical used to make plastics, but government tests failed to confirm the presence of rat poison, federal officials said Friday.

The Food and Drug Administration said it found melamine in samples of the Menu Foods pet food, as well as in wheat gluten used as an ingredient in the wet-style products. The FDA was working to rule out the possibility that the contaminated wheat gluten could have made it into any human food, but was not aware of any risk to people.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether the melamine was the culprit in the deaths of more than a dozen cats and dogs and the illnesses of hundreds more, said Stephen F. Sundlof, director of the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine.

In a news conference, FDA officials said that the apparently melamine-contaminated wheat gluten also was shipped to a company that manufactures dry pet food, but they would not name the company.

The FDA is attempting to determine if that

company used any of the wheat gluten, imported from China, to make dry pet food, Sundlof said. The head of Menu Foods, the manufacturer of the recalled pet food, said Friday it had dropped the U.S. supplier of the imported ingredient. Paul Henderson also suggested his company would sue the unnamed supplier.

Wheat gluten, a source of vegetable protein, is also used in some human foods, but the FDA emphasized it had found no indication that the contaminated ingredient had been used in food for people.

The FDA said it would alert the public quickly if the melamine was found in any foods other than the recalled pet food.

Cornell University scientists also found melamine — used to produce plastic kitchen wares and used in Asia as a fertilizer — in the urine of sick cats, as well as in the kidney of one cat that died after eating the company’s wet food.

Menu Foods recalled 60 million containers of cat and dog food earlier this month after animals died of kidney failure after eating the Canadian company’s products. It is not clear how many pets may have been poisoned by the apparently contaminated food.

Judge tosses case

NATIONAL BRIEFS Vernal, Utah

Rancher dies after cattle attack

BY PAUL ELIAS

An 87-year-old rancher attacked by two cows has died, his daughter said.

Cecil Holmes of Vernal died Tuesday at University of Utah Hospital, a week after he was knocked down while moving cows to a pen from a field, daughter Doylene Timothy said.

Holmes suffered chest injuries, including broken ribs and punctured lungs, she said.

The cows charged and knocked him down, then head-butted him several times while he was on the ground. Timothy saw her father fall and called police before chasing the animals away.

“These regulations were designed by a former timber industry lobbyist,” said Sean Cosgrove of the Sierra Club, one of the 15 environmental groups who sued.

“They would have silenced the voices of citizens in local forest planning and allowed destructive projects to move forward with little oversight.”

The Bush administration environmental setback came the day after an internal Interior Department investigation found that deputy assistant secretary Julie MacDonald released information that was not supposed to be made public to organizations such as the California Farm Bureau Federation and Pacific Legal Foundation.

“I think people who love wildlife and care for our public forest should be elated by this decision,” said Peter Frost, an attorney with the Western Environmental Law Center, one of the environmental groups that brought a pair of lawsuits challenging the new rules.

Hamilton issued a single ruling for both cases.

Frost said that if Hamilton upheld the new rules, “it would have likely meant the loss of species.” Frost said the new rules could have made it much easier for new projects such as logging, mining, livestock grazing and road building in 192 million acres of public land.

Associated Press Writer

SAN FRANCISCO A federal judge tossed out Bush administration rules Friday that gave national forest managers more discretion to approve logging and other commercial projects without lengthy environmental reviews.

U.S. District Court Judge Phyllis Hamilton ruled that the administration failed to adequately consider the environmental effects the new rules would have and neglected to properly gather public comment on the issue.

Hamilton said in her written ruling that the government “appears to have charted a new path and adopted a new policy approach regarding programmatic changes to environmental regulations.”

Hamilton ruled that the government couldn’t institute the new rules until proper environmental reviews were conducted, but she declined to specify how the nation’s 155 national forests should be managed until then.

The ruling overturns a key administration environmental rule that governs all 192 million acres of national forests and stops pro-business plans in the parks under way for more than two years.

Glenwood Springs, Colo.

I-70 tunnel closing indefinitely to repair crack A nearly mile-long tunnel on heavily traveled Interstate 70 in Western Colorado will be shut down indefinitely because of a growing crack in the ceiling, officials said Friday.

The eastbound bore of the 4,000-foot-long Hanging Lake Tunnel was expected to close later Friday. The westbound bore will be used to handle traffic in both directions, Colorado Department of Transportation spokeswoman Stacey Stegman said.

Each bore has two lanes. On average, the two bores carry a combined 16,500 vehicles a day, she said.

CDOT does not know how much the repairs will cost or how long they will take, but “we expect it to be a lengthy closure,” Stegman said.

CDOT has been monitoring the crack for about a year, and by Friday it had grown to 70 feet long and 2 inches wide, Stegman said.

In a written statement, CDOT said it does not believe the structure will fail, but the agency said it is “no longer comfortable allowing motorists to travel through the (eastbound) tunnel.”

The Hanging Lake Tunnel, completed in 1992, is eight miles east of Glenwood Springs and 110 miles west of Denver.

To some extent, picking an oil for a particular recipe is a matter of taste. But there are some important factors that can guide that.

Will the oil be consumed raw (as in a salad dressing) or cooked (used for sauteing, frying or baking)? Each oil has a different heat tolerance, the so-called smoke point.

Picking the best pots and pans

BY VICTORIA BRETT Associated Press Writer

Like so many brides-to-be, Sarah Lamb has faced some tough decisions. Style of invitation. Reception menu. Seating arrangements. And of course, which brand of pricey cookware belongs on her gift registry.

And brand is just the start. Which style of which brand? Which pans in that style? Is a 9-inch skillet enough? Or should she go with the 12-inch? Will she need both? Copper core or aluminum? Nonstick or stainless steel?

The once simple act of buying pots and pans has become bewildering, thanks mostly to the continuing influx of high-end professional gear coming into the home kitchen — and with that the elevation of cookware to status symbol. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by options.

“There is more technology that you need to understand” than for items such as china or stemware, says Lamb, a 30-year-old Minneapolis resident with a June wedding date. “We researched online. We talked to people in the specialty stores. We got a lot of information.”

Here’s how to make sense of all that information and be sure your pans are as good a match for you as your mate. Maybe better.

THE ESSENTIALS

Last year, Americans spent $3.2 billion on 512 million pieces of cookware and bakeware, according to Hugh Rushing, executive vice president of the Cookware Manufacturers Association. That’s a lot of

cookware. How much of it was essential?

Experts agree on four must-have pots and pans — a skillet, a saucepan, a Dutch oven and a stockpot.

The skillet — which is used for eggs, pancakes, burgers, and stir-frying — is the most popular piece, accounting for nearly a third of sales. They come in numerous sizes, but those in the 10- to 12-inch range (measured at the rim) are the best-sellers, according to Rushing.

There’s good reason for that, says Lisa McManus, senior editor and equipment tester at Cook’s Illustrated magazine. Most recipes call for large skillets, and she advises people to go with a 12-inch model.

The other kitchen workhorse is the saucepan, which is as useful for heating soups and sauces as for boiling pasta and cooking rice. Because the saucepan is used so much, Rushing recommends two of varying sizes, such as a 2-quart and a 4-quart.

Dutch ovens (heavy, lidded pots with double handles and a thick bottom) are used less frequently, but are no less essential. They are great for stews (the meat can be browned in the pan before the other ingredients are added) and frying, and can go in the oven.

Most Dutch ovens come in 5- to 8-quart models, but McManus says a 5-quart would suffice for most home cooks.

Stockpots are used for cooking soup, pasta, lobster and vegetables, such as corn on the cob. Many come with colander inserts, which make it easy to drain pasta. These inserts can double as steamer baskets.

Celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck favors an 8quart stockpot.

Cooking oil used to be so simple. There was vegetable and there was olive.

Today, simplicity has been supplanted by overwhelming options that can trigger almost comedic dilemmas. Dressing a salad? Will it be almond oil or walnut? Grapeseed is good. So is hazelnut. And if frying is on the menu, canola is nice, but avocado would be a cool twist.

Confused yet? Blame the gourmeting of America. As food television and celebrity chefs introduce us to a growing number of ingredients and techniques formerly the province of restaurants, grocers’ shelves have become choked with oil choices.

And our pantries aren’t far behind. The number of different cooking oils in the average American home has increased 14 percent during the past 6 years, says Harry Balzer, a food analyst for market researcher NPD Group. While that’s a little hard to envision in terms of your pantry shelf, that statistic is an indicator of real growth, Balzer says.

“What you have is a number of people who have gone from one oil to two, and a number of people who used to have two went to three, and so on,” he says.

That increase also can be attributed to growing awareness that not all fats are bad for you, says Jamie Brent, a national grocery manager for natural foods grocer Wild Oats Markets, where specialty oil sales have increased around 15 percent during the past two years.

Knowing that plant-based oils — and

most cooking oils are — are mostly heart healthy has helped Americans embrace them. All oil is fattening and must be consumed in moderation, but at least health issues can be mostly set aside when trying to make sense of the choices.

“If it’s liquid at room temperature it’s OK, probably heart healthy or heart neutral,” says Katherine Tallmadge, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. “All oils are better than butter or hard fat.”

There’s more than one-way to go FROM ONE-WAY PAGE 1 concept, which was proposed earlier this year by Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, who has represented the Westside and Santa Monica for decades and knows personally the headaches caused by congestion.

“It’s a mess,” the supervisor said. “Driving from the ocean to the 405 [Freeway] can take at least an hour at certain times of the day.”

The study marks what could be a year long process to reconfigure the streets and add dedicated bus lanes. The change would require the approval of the Los Angeles City Council as well as leaders in Beverly Hills, home to a small stretch of Olympic Boulevard.

City officials in Santa Monica also hope to have a spot at the table to discuss what potential impacts this proposal may have on mobility in the city, which has in the past experimented with one-way streets on heavily-traveled Broadway and Colorado Avenue.

There is some concern about “cutthrough” traffic as drivers travel between Olympic and Pico, and some business interests have expressed their fear of losing customers who would find it more difficult to reach their stores and find suitable park.

Yaroslavsky is asking for people to have an open mind and is promoting the plan as a more cost-efficient, and faster way of improving traffic flow than waiting for light rail or subway line to reach the sea.

“There are some aspects that could be considered controversial, and we will try to address as many concerns as possible,” Yaroslavsky said. “But if we try to respond to 100 percent of them, what we will end up with is the status quo and that is unacceptable.”

Backers of the project believe it can be done quickly, simply by adding new signage, reconfiguring traffic signals and perhaps doing some relatively minor street improvements along the 15-mile stretch.

Christine Chang news@smdp.com

ONE WAY TO GO: Officials in Los Angeles are considering whether or not to make Pico and Olympic boulevards one-way streets.

throughout the municipality as part of an update to the city’s general plan, which guides future development.

“From the city’s perspective, one of the things we will be looking at is what this means if you are going one way and hit the city boundaries, what would that do to our circulation,” said Eileen Fogarty, director of

PEOPLE MAY JOKE ABOUT IT, BUT YOU REALLY DO HAVE TO REARRANGE YOUR WHOLE LIFE AROUND TRAFFIC.” Charles Burns, Resident living just outside Santa Monica’s eastern border Critics said the reconfiguration would turn the boulevards into racetracks and threaten pedestrian safety. There are also those who look at the potential price tag as an obstacle, which could reach millions of dollars according to L.A. city traffic officials. There could be additional costs if the city were to implement traffic reducing measures on residential streets to curb cut-through traffic.

While the plan does not include Santa Monica, officials here are interested in seeing what transpires, especially considering that city staff is currently working with residents

planning and community development for City Hall. “We want to see if this is something that can be done fairly seamlessly.”

In recent meetings with residents living in the Pico Neighborhood and Sunset Park, two areas which suffer from heavy traffic congestion, city staff has seen a strong desire for slowing down traffic, not speeding it up. It seems residents want traffic to move smoothly, but not at the expense of the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists.

“One-way trafficking is something that

both fire and police departments have issues with (because of mobility) and we need to look at the impacts on residential communities from a pedestrian standpoint,” Fogarty said.

Councilmember Pam O’Connor, who is the first vice chair of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, said one-way streets are just one model used to alleviate traffic and it is important to study it as well as others. She said several cities across the country have one-way streets and drivers have adjusted.

“What this is all about is getting the most operating efficiency out of our roads,” O’Connor said. “The reality is we are not going to be widening any roads so we need to use them as best we can, maximize their potential.”

O’Connor suggested looking at transverse lanes, where streets could be made one-way during certain hours of the day and then reverted back to two-way.

One person who has his mind made up about one-way streets is Mayor Pro Tem Herb Katz, who believes it would be a mistake to do so. He remembers complaints City Hall received when Broadway and Colorado were made one-way more than seven years ago.

“The merchants did not like that at all. It

drove people nuts … It turns everything around,” Katz said. “We need to look at transverse lanes. I think that is the way to go.”

As for Burns, who works in Century City, anything would be a blessing if it meant he could get across town without having to rearrange his whole day.

“People may joke about it, but you really do have to rearrange your whole life around traffic,” he said. “It’s like you have to put your life on hold for three hours every day or become used to the fact that you’ll be spending a lot of your time sitting in you car, not going anywhere.”

Over on Pico, Tim Heritage, owner of an art gallery and custom frame shop, said he too would welcome a change to help with traffic. He watches every day from his store’s front window as motorists sit at a virtual stand still as cars block intersections near the entrance to Interstate 10 at Bundy Drive. He has also seen drivers make wild moves to avoid it, clipping cars in the process.

“I guess one-way would work,” Heritage said. “Why not try it?” kevinh@smdp.com

Need outstrips supply of warm beds

BY THOMAS WATKINS Associated Press Writer

SAN DIEGO With warmer temperatures arriving the giant tent that 150 veterans called home for the winter months is being packed away.

“For most of us, it’s back on the streets,” says Marvin Britton, a former military policeman who’s been crisscrossing the country since leaving the Army in 1971 after three Vietnam combat tours.

The battered tent, pitched on a Navy parking lot, is reflective of a problem that almost certainly will worsen

as more troops come home from Iraq and Afghanistan and leave active duty: There aren’t enough beds for those who end up homeless.

“We all feel like we are fighting against a clock,” said Toni Reinis, who runs New Directions Inc., a Los Angeles substance abuse center providing residential and outpatient care for homeless vets. “We’re absolutely gearing up for a surge.”

No one knows for sure how many homeless there are — estimates vary from hundreds of thousands to millions.

According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, there are about 195,000 homeless veterans on any given night.

The VA last fall estimated a shortfall of 9,600 “transitional”

beds for those vets. These are accommodations meant to serve as a stepping stone from the streets to independent living.

The VA has secured funding for up to 1,800 beds to be added by the end of this year and is seeking $15 million more from Congress for more beds.

“It’s a very, very high priority,” said Peter Dougherty, the VA’s director of homeless programs.

There are safety nets for military personnel when they leave the service. For example, they get free health care for two years. And, while there were no VA-funded programs catering to homeless vets until 1987, there now are more than 200, Dougherty said.

Former Division II assistant coach to lead the Corsairs FROM COACH PAGE 1 throughout his childhood.

His playing career ended when his coaching career started — at the University of North Colorado where he worked for two years as a student manager for the men’s basketball team, which at the time was in Division II. When Teplitzky discovered he had a passion for coaching, he transferred to Metro State College in Denver where he worked as an assistant coach for the men’s basketball team while finishing---- up his bachelor’s degree in human performance and sport. He stayed with the team until 2002 when he received his master’s degree in physical education.

During his stint at Metro State College, the team won the Division II Championship

following the 2000 and 2002 seasons.

But despite his success on the team as an assistant, he graduated to find there was no room for him full-time on the coaching staff. That’s when a fellow assistant coach on the team, John Peterson, received an offer for the head coaching job for the men’s basketball team at Ohlone Community College in Fremont, California. Joining Peterson as an assistant coach, Teplitzky packed his bags and headed west.

Though he found success as an assistant at Ohlone, whose team won the Coast Conference North Championship two of the three years he was there, Teplitzky felt he was ready to manage his own team and accepted a part-time head coaching job at Chabot Community College in Hayward during 2005.

Unfortunatley he was head coach for

just a few months during the off season when the school announced that it would search for a full-time coach. Though his name was on the list of candidates, Teplitzky ultimately was the runner up for the position and he found himself as an assistant once again.

He comes to Santa Monica College with no in-game head coaching experience.

“I’m sure that I will make mistakes as all first-time head coaches do,” he said. “My mistakes are going to be mistakes that are going to be made from working hard.”

The search committee interviewed five candidates to replace Trevor Shickman, who coached the Corsairs for three seasons.

The basketball season ended in February and Teplitzky will assume the role as head coach in April.

The head coaching position at SMC is part-time and just as he had done at Chabot Community College, Teplitzky will also be teaching several physical education courses at Santa Monica College.

The committee was interested in finding a candidate who fit in with the SMC program personality wise, according to Hyatt.

“Teaching philosophy was on the top of our mind, above basketball and winning and losing,” she said. “So a fit with our college campus was at the top of our list of what we wanted and Jesse really fit that.”

Donors come through big for SM museum

BY MELODY HANATANI Daily Press Staff Writer

EUCLID STREET The Santa Monica Historical Society Museum is rolling in the dough.

In an effort to raise $5 million to build a new facility within the Santa Monica Public Library in Downtown, the Historical Society has received a major boost from three very generous donors.

Museum President and CEO Louise Gabriel and her husband, Bob, have contributed to the fund as have former local newspaper owners Ron and Ann Funk. John E. Gilmore has also dug deep into his pocket for the cause. All three parties have donated $100,000 each to the campaign, for a grand total of $300,000.

The donations are the largest the society has received from private benefactors, according to officials.

“Santa Monica has quite a history and I think it should be preserved,” Gilmore said on Friday.

The historical society has raised more than one-third of its total fundraising goal from more than 100 donors, including various organizations, said Ho Nguyen, director of operations.

The museum plans to move into its new 5,000-squarefoot facility by the end of this year.

Gilmore, a long-time resident of Santa Monica and a retired ophthalmologist, is still active in the community, supporting organizations such as the Kiwanis and the Boys & Girls Club.

The Funks have been heavily involved in preserving Santa Monica’s history since 1975 when they joined the Santa Monica Centennial Committee. Ron Funk published a supplement about the history of Santa Monica in the Evening Outlook — a now defunct newspaper — during the same year.

At the time, the Centennial Committee saw a need to form a permanent historical organization and that led to the formation of the Santa Monica Historical Society Museum, said Ann Funk, who moved to Nevada with her

husband in 1980.

The Gabriels have been involved in the Historical Society Museum since its inception in 1975. Bob Gabriel, the owner of Santa Monica-based insurance company Bob Gabriel Co., also serves on the museums’ Board of Directors.

“For people to take pride in their community, they real-

ly need to know the history and it’s important to educate young people about the history because they’re going to be the future leaders of Santa Monica,” Louise Gabriel said on Friday. “It’s important for them to know how Santa Monica began and how it’s progressed over the years.” melodyh@smdp.com

COMMUNITYPROFILES JOHN KERWIN

Santa Monican has dreams of making it FROM PROFILE PAGE 3 In addition to writing questions for his guest, Kerwin works with two-time Emmy nominee Tony Desena ( “Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson” “Sesame Street”) on skits, including his popular series “Meet Your Favorite Star,” in which he pretends to be a famous celebrity handing out autographs on the street.

Seated in Tom Hanks’ favorite cramped booth at Patrick’s Roadhouse, a sponsor of the show, Kerwin described how he grew to love late night, abandoning a potentially lucrative law career for the unpredictable and often cruel world of entertainment.

It all started with the cemetery across the street from his boyhood home in the Queens, New York suburb of Briarwood.

The street Kerwin lived on was known around town as “Death Boulevard,” and not just because bodies were laid to rest next door. The street was dangerous. Many people were killed while crossing it, Kerwin said, which sort of soured any desire to want to play street hockey.

“It made me want to stay inside and watch television,” Kerwin said, as he sipped on some lemonade. “Now I’m interviewing a lot of the people I grew up with.”

Kerwin’s parents got divorced when he was young, and with a single mother preoccupied with work and keeping the house in order, Kerwin found himself watching television whenever he liked and he never seemed to miss an episode of “The Tonight Show” starring Johnny Carson, who would

later become one of Kerwin’s idols.

“I did his material in the third grade sometimes. I didn’t seem to go over very well, all the monologue jokes about Jimmy Carter,” Kerwin said. “It never worked. The teachers were laughing though.”

Soon, watching late night talk shows

Garofalo and Ray Romano. After awhile, Kerwin transition from jokester to emcee, warming up crowds and introducing talent.

One night, when introducing Seinfeld, Kerwin noticed the watch Seinfeld had on. It was an “enormous Rolex,” whereas Kerwin believes he was sporting a $20 Timex.

THAT’S WHEN I REALIZED THAT I COULD PLAY AROUND WITH CELEBRITIES AND NOT BE FEARFUL OR INTIMIDATED OF THEM." John Kerwin, talk show host became an obsession for Kerwin. He learned that when he found himself sneaking out of his dorm room at Cornell University — where televisions were banned to help students focus — to watch his heroes of the small screen.

“It just seemed like the best job in the world,” Kerwin said of hosting a late-night gab fest. “Looking at Merv Griffin, Letterman, I was almost religious in how I studied it. It was more than just watching it. I would almost escape into it. I would just wait for these shows and loved every minute of them.”

After Cornell, Kerwin tried his luck at stand-up, becoming a regular at New York’s legendary comedy club Catch a Rising Star, where he did material alongside some of the most famous names in the business, from Jerry Seinfeld and Dennis Leary to Janeane

Kerwin drew attention to it, and he and Seinfeld began to riff. Eventually the two exchanged watches for the night as part of the banter. The moment got great laughs.

“That’s when I realized that I could play around with celebrities and not be fearful or intimidated of them,” Kerwin said. “I could actually have a lot of fun with them. Before that, I was intimidated by every comedian that walked out there.”

After that, Kerwin packed his bags and did what everyone does when they want to make it big in show business, he moved to Hollywood.

There, he emceed at the Improv, where he began to hone his skills. A producer there suggested Kerwin become a talk show host and that’s how “The John Kerwin Show” began.

Of course, Kerwin had to start small. He couldn’t go after A-list talent, so he settled

for D-listers. The idea was to invite those who did cameos and work his way up the publicist food-chain. His first guest was to be the Gimp from “Pulp Fiction,” but, in what must have been a disheartening first step, the Gimp must have still been sleeping (that’s a play on the film for those who don’t know) because he canceled.

Not one to give up easily, Kerwin improvised. He bought a volley ball and painted it to look like the character Wilson from Hanks’ “Cast Away,” where a man on a deserted island creates a best friend by decorating a volley ball that washed ashore.

Kerwin’s big break came when former “I Dream of Jeannie” and “Dallas” star Larry Hagman wanted to “warm up” on his show in advance of an appearance on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.” After that, Kerwin started to get noticed. VHI called him in for a pilot. The premise of the show was for Kerwin to interview celebrities of yesterday, including Dick Cavett, Dick Van Patten, Donny Most, Barry Williams, and Kerwin’s favorite, David Carradine.

While the pilot wasn’t picked up, Kerwin got the chance to work with quality producers and helped his stock rise in value. Now he has to keep the momentum going and see if he can land his dream job.

“I’m like a little worker ant,” he said. “All I can do is continue to write shows just like I did before the pilot and continue to make it better. There’s nothing else I’d rather do.” kevinh@smdp.com

NCAA BASKETBALL

Rookies’ big year

BY JIM O’CONNELL AP Basketball Writer

ATLANTA A couple of rookies swept the national college basketball awards.

Freshman Kevin Durant of Texas and first-year coach Tony Bennett of Washington State were named player and coach of the year Friday by The Associated Press.

Durant, the smooth 6-foot-9 swingman who finished fourth in the country in scoring (25.8) and rebounding (11.1), is the first freshman to win the award since it was created in 1961.

Bennett, who succeeded his father at Washington State for his first head coaching job, led the Cougars to a 26-8 record, matching the most wins in school history, and to their first NCAA tournament bid since 1994.

“I just hope I’m paving the way for other freshmen, to let them know you can compete,” Durant said.

Durant was a unanimous pick for the AP All-America team, and he and Ohio State center Greg Oden were just the third and fourth freshmen to be selected first-team.

Durant was jealous of Oden, who will play Saturday against Georgetown.

“This is a great honor, but I’d rather be in the Final Four,” Durant said.

Durant, the Big 12 player and freshman of the year, shot 47 percent from the field, 40 percent from 3-point range and 82 percent from the free-throw line. He averaged 36 minutes per game and also led the Longhorns in steals and blocked shots. He had 20 double-doubles and scored at least 30 points a Big 12-record 11 times.

In Texas’ five postseason games, he averaged 28.5 points and 9.6 rebounds.

Durant received all but two votes for player of the year from the 72-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25. Senior forward Alando Tucker of Wisconsin, the Big Ten player of the year, got the other two votes.

Durant was one of four freshmen to start for the Longhorns, who finished with a 2510 record and reached the Big 12 tournament championship game and the second round of the NCAA tournament.

“He carried a very young team but never looked at it that way,” Texas coach Rick

Barnes said. “He has such a great feel for the game. He knows what he has to do to get better. He knows he has to get stronger. He is a real person. I truly believe he will make his mark not just on college basketball but on basketball.”

The 37-year-old Bennett laughed when asked what it meant to be selected coach of the year after his first season in that position.

“What do you do from here?” he asked.

“Having grown up with a father who was a coach and spending my life in this game, I

I JUST HOPE I’M PAVING THE WAY FOR OTHER FRESHMEN, TO LET THEM KNOW YOU CAN COMPETE” Kevin Durant Big 12 player and freshman of the year,

know how fleeting things can be. So I will enjoy this and remember that it is a privilege to coach.”

The Cougars, who were picked ninth or 10th in Pac-10 preseason polls, finished second to UCLA in the conference and lost in the second round of the NCAA tournament. It was the fifth tournament appearance in school history.

Bennett, who agreed to a seven-year contract extension earlier this week, received 40 votes. Thad Matta of Ohio State and Billy Gillispie of Texas A&M each got 10 votes and Bo Ryan of Wisconsin seven.

The Cougars reached as high as ninth in the rankings this season and were 13th in the final poll.

Bennett is the second coach to win the award after his first season as a head coach, joining Bill Hodges of Indiana State in 1979.

The award was first presented in 1967.

“When they picked Kevin for the award, maybe they felt sorry for me and decided to give it to another freshman,” Bennett said. “It is such a tremendous honor to win this with so many guys who are deserving of it, and to share this with another firstyear guy is neat.”

Author Hans Christian Anderson (1805)

This year, think through your actions carefully, as others develop an attitude and can be highly reactive. Relationships take an even higher priority than in the past. Be open to change and new possibilities. Pressure builds with loved ones.

You often find yourself in either-or or black-and-white situations. Learn to see what is right in different situations. If you are single, you'll gain if you flow and get down to the basics of relationships. Someone you might not like initially could turn into your sweetie. If you are attached, you'll gain by accepting differences and learning to enjoy them.

Happy 105th!

“They’re planning on having a low-key celebration with Mrs. Astor and the staff,” Seitel said. “On a warm day like this, she’ll be going outside with the dogs. She’s frail, she’s 105, but she gets outside and walks with assistance.

She’s comfortable.”

He said Rockefeller was bringing sweet pea flowers, “Mrs. Astor’s favorite.”

Marshall’s son, Phillip Marshall, accused him last

Family, friends expected for Astor’s birthday party year of allowing Astor to live in squalor while he looted her estate.

Rockefeller supported the grandson’s case. The settlement removed Anthony Marshall as Astor’s guardian, replacing him with JPMorgan Chase bank and de la Renta, the wife of fashion designer Oscar de la Renta.

Astor is the widow of Vincent Astor, a greatgreat-grandson of John

Jacob Astor, who made a fortune in fur trading and New York real estate.

In the decades after her husband’s death in 1959, Astor gave away nearly $200 million to New York’s great cultural institutions and a host of humbler projects, winning a Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, in 1998.

After a turbulent 105th year, BROOKE ASTOR marked the start of her 106th Friday with a birthday so quiet that she dozed through a visit from her son.

The philanthropist and socialite, ensconced at her property in a tony area north of New York City, was asleep when her 82-year-old son Anthony Marshall came by with a pink azalea, said his attorney, Kenneth Warner.

“She does spend a lot of time sleeping,” Warner said. “It can be difficult to catch the lucid moments.

But he did see her.”

Banker and philanthropist David Rockefeller and Annette de la Renta, both of whom figured in a nasty family feud over Astor’s guardianship, also went to see her Friday, said Fraser Seitel, a spokesman for both.

SEAN SPEAKS UP

R&B singer Usher gets engaged USHER is engaged to his longtime girlfriend, stylist Tameka Foster, the R&B singer’s spokeswoman said Friday.

SEAN LENNON is accustomed to people recognizing him because of his famous parents, but one incident really caught him off-guard.

“When I was 15, a cabdriver asked me if I was Paul McCartney’s daughter,” the 31-yearold singer told AP Radio in a recent interview.

“That really blew my mind.”

Lennon said he usually finds himself unfazed by all the attention he gets as the son of Yoko Ono and former Beatle John Lennon, who was killed in New York City in 1980.

“I don’t have any perspective on a life without people freaking out about my parents, so I don’t know what it would be like for that not to happen,” he said.

“People only have glimpses of like, you know, who I might be and I don’t think people have a real sense of what I’m like necessarily,” he said. “I get the spoiled-rich-kid thing a lot and I get the serious-thing a lot, but I think people are misunderstanding me.”

Lennon, who is on tour in support of his latest album, “Friendly Fire,” prefers to be on the road.

“I like playing music live for people because it’s the way music was meant to be heard,” he said. “We’ve only been recording music for a couple hundred years.”

AP

Publicist Simone Smalls didn’t provide further details.

Usher, a five-time Grammy winner, confirmed the engagement Wednesday to MTV

News, ending speculation that he had popped the question.

Janric Classic Sudoku

By Justin Borus and Andrew Feinstein

Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column, and 3x3 block. Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle. The difficulty level ranges from Bronze (easiest) to Silver to Gold (hardest).

© 2006 Janric Enterprises Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc.

GETTING STARTED 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.

SHEPARD

■ Fetishes on Parade: (1) In Omaha, Neb., in February, Kevin Oliver, 36, was convicted of criminal impersonation for tricking two women into giving him urine samples by convincing them, falsely, that he was a recruiter for T-Mobile and needed the samples to complete their employment applications. (2) In a February Internet global survey of fetishism, researchers from Italy's University of Bologna concluded that feet (and shoes) were the world's most popular objects of desire, followed at a distance by underwear and "body fluids."

Neither genitals nor breasts nor legs nor buttocks were selected by more than 4 percent of those surveyed, and two people indicated a thing for pacemakers (but it was not disclosed whether the two had yet found each other).

■ People in Need of Adult Supervision: (1) Gary Galleberg, a former vice mayor of Naples, Fla., pleaded guilty to battery in February for spitting on the table of restaurant diners whose offense had been to ask Galleberg, twice, to convince his small daughter to stop banging on the window next to their table. (2) Serbian anesthesiologist Spasoje Radulovic and surgeon Dragan Vukanic had an "allout" fight in a Belgrade hospital's operating room in February, and then outside, punching and slapping each other while an assistant surgeon was forced to finish the operation. The nature of the dispute was not disclosed, according to a Reuters report.
