THE TRANSPORTATION ISSUE

MTA narrows transit options

BY MELODY HANATANI Daily Press Staff Writer

SM LIBRARY MTA officials exploring a variety of public transit options to better connect Downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica have narrowed the list of possible transportation modes and routes to improve mobility on the Westside, a handful of alternatives that includes the much-ballyhooed Subway to the Sea. A list that included 17 different combinations of transportation methods and routes — including a monorail — has been shortened to just five, four of which involve a subway with different alignment options to Santa Monica.

The four subway alignment options are split into two categories — the “Wilshire Subway,” which would essentially be a straight shot down Wilshire Boulevard from Downtown Los Angeles to the Westside; and the “Wilshire/Santa Monica Combined Subway,” which would include West Hollywood in its route.

All are part of the Westside Extension Transit Corridor Study being conducted by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which is currently presenting the refined list of alternatives at a round of meetings this month, including most recently in Santa Monica last Thursday.

The Alternative Analysis study is the first step in defining a potential transportation

project to the MTA Board.

The project area includes 38 square miles in the most congested regions of Los Angeles County.

Once the study is completed this summer, MTA officials plan to present the recommendations to the Board of Directors, which will consider whether to authorize a full environmental review.

Both the Wilshire and Wilshire/Santa Monica subways come with two alternative alignments.

The Wilshire subway could either take the busy Los Angles corridor straight through or take a slight detour shortly past the Miracle Mile. One of the two Wilshire/Santa Monica options includes an

extra route in West Hollywood.

The fifth option includes a bus rapid transit alternative that starts at the Hollywood/Highland Red Line station through West Hollywood to its terminal in Westwood.

MTA officials believe the combined subway would result in the highest ridership.

The two subway options were chosen to move forward with the study, in addition to a bus rapid alternative, because they would serve a higher-density area, minimize traffic and fit better with the impacted Westside area.

Teen wounded during shooting

BY DAILY PRESS STAFF CLOVERFIELD BLVD Police on Sunday sought the public’s help in locating two suspects whom they believe wounded a teenager during a shooting attack in the 2300 block of Cloverfield Boulevard.

Officers responding to a “shots fired” call Saturday about 6 p.m. and found two juveniles at the location, said Santa Monica Police Department’s Sgt. Renaldi Thruston.

One of the boys was suffering from a non life-threatening gunshot wound. The other one was uninjured, Thruston said. The gunshot wound victim was taken to an area hospital.

The first suspect was described as a 5foot, 6-inch, 18-to-20-years-old Latino male weighing 150 pounds and possibly having a goatee. He was last seen wearing dark clothing, a black hooded sweatshirt and armed with a dark handgun.

The second suspect was described as a 5foot, 5-inch tall Latino male weighing 160 pounds and 17-to-20 years old. He was last seen wearing dark clothing and a dark hooded sweatshirt.

Police ask anyone with any information regarding the whereabouts of the two suspects to call the SMPD at (310) 458-8427.

Anyone wishing to remain anonymous may call the WeTip hotline at (800) 78-CRIME (27463).

High salaries factor into L.A.’s deficit

3

COMMUNITYPROFILES DAVID HUME KENNERLY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES Despite a record city budget deficit, thousands of Los Angeles employees earn more than $100,000 a year.

More than 21,000 city workers take home $70,000 or more a year, according to published reports. More than 6,000 take home more than $100,000.

City leaders are grappling with a $406 million budget shortfall, and have announced proposed fee hikes and service cuts.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and others have called for cutting nearly 800 positions and enforcing mandatory furloughs for city workers.

In the past year alone, gross annual payroll costs have soared $120 million for nearly 48,000 city employees. The total payroll stands at $3.2 billion, or nearly half Los Angeles’ $7 billion budget.

The city has some of the best paid employees in the nation. The average city worker salary will reach about $68,850 for civilians and $93,800 for sworn police and fire by July.

The Daily News reviewed city workers’ salaries using a database obtained from the City Controller’s Office under the California Public Records Act. Jack Kyser, chief economist with the nonprofit Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp., said warnings to the mayor went unheeded during labor negotiations so the city could appease unions.

“It’s what you call governmental accounting, is the best way to characterize it,” Kyser said. “You have warnings, and their response is, ‘We’re going to maintain the city work force at the same level, then pay more overtime and give rich raises."’

The approved union deal will cost the city about $273 million, and followed a slew of public employee pay raises.

Effective July 2006, police and firefighters received a three-year, 10 percent increase.

Last year, the Engineers and Architects Association gained a three-year, 9 percent contract worth about $23 million. Three years ago, Department of Water and Power employees negotiated a five-year contract for 16.8 percent raises.

City officials defend the deal, saying the SEE DEBT PAGE 7

Capturing history through a lens

BY MELODY HANATANI Daily Press Staff Writer

Suddenly, the war became all too real.

David Hume Kennerly was thousands of feet in the air, en route to Vietnam to capture a war that had ideologically divided his home country.

The young United Press International photographer, still in his early 20s, was headed to the Southeast Asian country to replace another photojournalist within the wire service, the trip being Kennerly’s first opportunity to cover a war.

He arrived to tragedy.

It was Feb. 21, 1971 and a helicopter carrying Kent Potter of UPI, the Associated Press’ Henri Huet, Newsweek freelancer Keisaburo Shimamoto and Life Magazine’s Larry Burrow, whom Kennerly regarded as his hero, was shot down over the Ho Chi Minh Trail. All four photojournalists were killed.

never met either of them,” Kennerly said during a recent interview.

The event would serve as a wake-up call for Kennerly, bringing out the seriousness in the dangers of photojournalism, previously unrealized in his young career.

Kennerly would go on to spend nearly three years in Vietnam, his photos winning the 1972 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography.

The Santa Monica resident is among the most renowned photographers in the field, his career spanning stints at Time, Newsweek, NBC News and the White House during President Gerald Ford’s administration.

It was in 1962 when Kennerly realized his passion for photojournalism, the careerdefining moment coming to the then 15year-old high school student in Roseburg, Ore., staring at a newspaper photo he had shot of a baseball player crossing home plate.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

My Write

Bill Bauer

Feds ignore U.S. Constitution Editor:

When U.S. citizens make contracts for goods, services, or other reasons, each party to the contract is expected to abide by it. However, there is one contract that seriously affects every citizen, but few pay attention to it. It is the U.S. Constitution, a contract between our citizens and the federal government.

The original 13 states established our federal government with very limited powers, primarily to repel invasions. Individual states were responsible for most government actions. If a state became too oppressive, people could simply move to another state.

The Constitution authorizes only Congress to make federal laws. Hence, a Supreme Court decision or a presidential Executive Order cannot become a law. Yet, these decisions and orders have been used as laws.

In the more than 200 years that our Constitution has been in effect, only 27 amendments have been ratified. Today, those who want to make a change, simply circumvent the Constitution. There is no constitutional power to have federal involvement in education, housing, health, foreign aid, and many other activities.

Therefore, about 80 percent of what the federal government does is unconstitutional. See www.thenewamerican.com for details.

We are living in a partial police state because the feds do not obey our Constitution. Unless enough of our citizens demand that the feds abide by the Constitution, we soon will be living in a total police state.

Alex Randis Northridge

Bottom of the barrel Editor:

In a shocker to no one, once again California ranks near the bottom of the list in terms of fairness of its legal climate; coming in 44th in the nation in the U.S. Chamber’s Institute for Legal Reform’s annual report on litigation climates.

Adding to California’s dismal legal system, Los Angeles was again found as having “the least fair and reasonable litigation environment in the country.”

With our state’s rampant abuse of ADA law, never ending parade of class action lawsuits and grossly inflated damages awarded by juries, we aren’t going to climb out of the dregs anytime soon without reform.

Unfortunately, many of those with the power to enact reform are elected and kept in office in part by personal injury lawyer funds. This year already, we have seen our legislators shoot down bills that would have reformed the class action system; such as withholding part of attorneys’ fees in a class action settlement until all class members have been notified of an award.

Until we elect legislators who are not afraid to enact common sense reforms and who put the well-being of their constituents above campaign contributions, California’s legal climate will continue to be at the bottom of the barrel.

Another school disaster calls for better scrutiny THE SANTA MONICA MALIBU UNIFIED

TAKING ANOTHER CHOP AT CITY TREES

School District has another disaster on its hands. Well respected veteran Lincoln Middle School teacher, Thomas Beltran, was arrested May 3 and arraigned May 6 on charges of performing numerous lewd and lascivious acts on five of his female students — children under the age of 14.

Beltran, a 30-year SMMUSD employee, taught English as a second language to seventh graders. According to published reports one of his victims was allegedly molested for more than a year. All the alleged incidents took place in the classroom. To make things worse, according to court documents, “... the alleged abuse took place as far back as Dec. 1, 2004." The Los Angeles Times reported (May 7) Beltran was, “investigated by police, but not charged, for the same crime in 2006.”

Keeping in mind Beltran’s 20-year tenure at Lincoln, the obvious question is how long had this really been going on and why didn’t someone, anyone, do something about the alleged abuse until just a few days ago?

District officials refused to answer parents’ questions at a public meeting last Monday night about whether any teachers might have known about the alleged abuse because “it is a personnel issue." The Los Angeles Times disclosed (May 7), “District officials declined to say whether Beltran had been accused of improper behavior or disciplined in the past." On May 9, the L.A. Times reported that “additional allegations ... may date as far back as 1998."

However, I’ve heard from a number of reliable sources that the abuse may really go back as far as 1993.

Oscar de la Torre, school board president, told the L.A. Times that the board only learned about the 2006 complaint after Beltran was arrested, blaming being uninformed on a communication breakdown. Apparently, the alleged victim was removed from Beltran’s class and Beltran said at the time that his actions were “misinterpreted." He was warned not to touch female students. However, “No mention of the complaint was found in Beltran’s personnel file,” de la Torre said It seems that a lot of red flags were ignored, here. Failures of communication, lack of monitoring and apparently no follow-up allowed innocent children to be put in harm’s way. When a school district has any knowledge that a teacher or employee is behaving inappropriately and doesn’t take appropriate action, then heads must roll. Sullying the reputation of our schools is unacceptable. Risking the well being of our children is unforgivable.

The city has been under fire for its decision to remove and/or relocate ficus trees on Second and Fourth streets, Downtown.

More recently, plans to remove and replace some 300 unsafe carob trees throughout the city has added to the furor.

The city amassed an impressive array of urban forest experts to explain "best management” practices and take questions on the upcoming removal and replacement project at a public meeting, last Thursday night.

But, the usual self-proclaimed experts on the city’s canopy and all things green, view this as another propaganda move by the city and Community Forester, Walt Warriner, whom they call “misguided.”

Many of the city’s trees are old and structurally compromised. They must be removed for public safety. There’s no doubt that many trees haven’t been pruned properly. Budget cuts in recent years have resulted in tree maintenance being deferred.

A Pico neighbor e-mailed me, “The Pico Streetscape was completed about seven years ago. All the existing trees were ripped out for the uniform look of one species — London plane. Look at Pico now. The London planes are all leaning, many are misshapen and neglected looking. Basically maintenance is poor... The city will not fund proper tree maintenance ..."

Other e-mails I’ve received hint at a dark, nerfarious plot: Warriner and City Manager, Lamont Ewell want to turn Santa Monica into a land of stumps. They say the city has no credibility. But, why would a eco-aware community that’s proud of its urban forest wage a hack and slash war on landscaping? But, this is kind of goofy logic I’ve come to expect from some of the well intentioned but more gonzo tree savers.

While most Santa Monicans are willing to leave trees to the experts, the tree-obsessed with their conflicting pronouncements, conspiracy theories and hysterical rants have "no cred” with me. I’d rather hear from a trained, professional arborist than an employment law attorney or a bumper sticker salesman.

Bottom line is that unsafe trees must be removed unless we all want people hurt and the city to pay out on costly injury and property damage lawsuits. Maybe these tree savers who advocate preserving diseased, compromised and unsafe trees will assume the financial liability when they come crashing down on someone’s car, house or person. Nope. Didn’t think so.

The last sentence in George Orwell’s novel “Animal Farm” aptly sums up the state of politics today. As Orwell observed, “No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

This almost surreal merging of two different organisms is epitomized in many ways, but nowhere is it more clearly seen than in the strange political marriage of late between Fox News, known for its right-leaning viewpoint, and the Democrats. They have become, as journalist Brian Stelter writes, “strange bedfellows.” Indeed, Terry McAuliffe, chairman of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign, recently praised Fox as being “fair and balanced.”

For those befuddled by the odd pairing, the New York Times explains: “Fox News and the Democrats abruptly find each other useful.” For Fox, it’s partially about the ratings, while for the Democrats, it’s about reaching out to Fox’s viewing audience, which is largely white, conservative and undecided.

This alliance, while it may seem strange to some, has actually been a long time coming. Just two years ago, in July 2006, conservative media owner Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox News, hosted a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton at Fox News headquarters in New York City. No cameras were present, and as the New York Daily News reported, Murdoch “tried to keep their political gettogether as secret as possible.” Indeed, when it was over, Clinton slipped out a side door.

Considering that Murdoch is known for his financial support of Republican agendas and right-wing causes, this fundraiser caused many on both sides of the political aisle to scratch their heads in bewilderment.

One commentator characterized political

analysts’ responses as “punditocracy in a tailspin.”

Now Bill O’Reilly has added himself to the cozy mix, with his recent four-part interview with Hillary Clinton that scored high ratings and set a year-to-date viewership record for Fox’s O’Reilly Factor. Yet as the Clinton-O’Reilly interview illustrates, it no longer matters what side of the aisle these politicians claim to hail from because this presidential election has turned into one big game.

But where does that leave the American people?

Most Americans want to believe that the voting process works and that when we elect a president, we’re getting someone who takes the job of representing us seriously — someone who truly cares about finding solutions to our problems and is more interested in representing “we the people” than playing partisan politics.

For instance, take a close look at the front runners for the White House, and you’ll see that there is really very little difference between them. None of the candidates present any real solutions to the myriad of problems that average Americans must grapple with every day — such as an economic recession, the mortgage crisis, near-crippling gas prices, inflation, soaring food prices, the unbelievably large deficit, never-ending wars, immigrants rushing across the border, ad infinitum.

Little surprise, then, that Americans find themselves dissatisfied with our nation’s leadership and the direction in which they’re moving our country. This country is going to hell in a hand basket, and when all is said and done, the last thing this country needs in the White House is another politician. But that’s unlikely to change this time around.

No matter who wins this year’s election, it will still be politics as usual. Thus, if hope is to be found, we’ll have to look elsewhere.

Perhaps the solution for leadership in America lies outside Washington, DC, in the business sector. Certainly, we could use someone in office who understands the importance of running our government efficiently, economically and responsibly.

Bottom line, it’s time for a reality check.

Otherwise, we’ll soon find ourselves on the road to nowhere.

Son seeks father’s congressional seat

BY ERICA WERNER Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON If California’s congressional districts are drawn to protect incumbents, Republican Duncan D. Hunter might be the next best thing: the incumbent’s son and namesake.

The 31-year-old veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is running in the San Diego-area 52nd Congressional District to replace his father, longtime conservative Rep. Duncan Hunter. His father is retiring after a presidential bid that never gained traction.

The younger Hunter faces two local GOP politicians in the June 3 primary — Bob Watkins, president of the San Diego County Board of Education, and Santee City Councilman Brian Jones. Lesser-known Republican contender Rick L. Powell also is on the ballot.

Congressman Hunter’s connections are helping his son collect endorsements and campaign checks. The younger Hunter has been far outpacing his opponents in fundraising even though he spent six months last year deployed in Afghanistan.

During that time, Pentagon rules prohibited him from conducting campaign activities. His wife, Margaret, stood in as a campaign surrogate.

Hunter barely mentions his father in his campaign literature and ads, insisting that he’s running as his own man. He joined the Marines after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and served two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan.

“I just want people to know that I’m running on my own substance here, and on my own experience,” Hunter said in an interview.

Of his father, Hunter said: “He’s an integral part of the campaign. He’s the biggest patriot I know.”

If elected, Hunter would be the latest son to take over his father’s House seat. Others currently in the House include Reps. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., Charlie Gonzalez, D-Texas, and John Dingell, D-Mich. Rep. Kendrick Meek, D-Fla., succeeded his mother, Carrie Meek.

Candidate Hunter, now a captain in the Marine Corps reserves, had raised more than $500,000 by April, compared to $160,000 for Jones. Watkins had $300,000, including $100,000 he loaned himself. Powell did not file a report.

Watkins, 65, who runs a consulting and venture capital firm, said in an interview that he was committing an additional $100,000 of his own money to the race. He

L.A. considers cuts FROM DEBT PAGE 3 workers had forgone raises three years earlier.

“I don’t think we could have done better, not if we wanted to keep (employees) productive and motivated, not if we wanted to keep the relationship with the coalition,” said

said he has heard from some voters who looked askance at “the legacy gift of a congressional seat” from father to son.

“We knew going in that we would be up against an incumbent, essentially, and our plan was trying to separate ourselves with the level of experience we have, versus his son,” said Watkins. “The message is going out.”

Jones, 39, who works as a real estate agent, said he is making the argument that he is the only candidate elected twice to a municipal government post, where he’s worked to balance budgets, prioritize public safety and reduce the size of government.

Santee has about 53,000 residents.

He also said he has been trying to overcome his financial disadvantage.

“I’ve been on the phones all day raising money,” Jones said Thursday. “I’m doing it the old-fashioned way — I’m raising it one person at a time with supporters in the district. Over 90 percent of my support is in the district.”

Powell did not immediately respond to an e-mail message seeking comment.

Duncan D. Hunter’s father has represented the eastern and northeastern parts of San Diego County since 1981. He rose to become chairman of the powerful House Armed Services Committee and was consistently reelected by wide margins. Republicans outnumber Democrats 44 percent to 30 percent among registered voters in the district.

While aiming to carve a distinct profile for himself, Duncan D. Hunter is focusing on the same themes that preoccupied his father — national defense and border security. He said he agrees with his father on 99 percent of the issues. The only disagreement he could cite was that his dad should have let him have a car sooner after his 16th birthday.

Analysts said Hunter’s name alone could propel him to victory in what’s expected to be a low-turnout primary.

“I think a not inconsiderable number of voters won’t know there’s a difference between the two and will think they’re voting for Duncan Hunter again,” said Gary Jacobson, a professor of political science at the University of California, San Diego.

If Hunter wins the primary, analysts predict little trouble for him in the November general election. The Democrats in the race are Mike Lumpkin, a retired Navy SEAL, and Vickie Butcher, a nonprofit executive.

Michael Benoit is running as a Libertarian.

“If he’s the nominee, barring those acts of God, it’s more than likely that overwhelmingly he’ll win the seat,” said Carl Luna, political science professor at San Diego Mesa College.

City Administrative Officer Karen Sisson.

Sisson said some citizen-funded fees would be needed because the cost of city services have simply increased.

Last week, the mayor said the magnitude of the economic slide wasn’t apparent at the time of the deal.

“Nobody knew the extent of this economic crisis,” Villaraigosa said.

Feds: Pot can lead to mental illness

BY JENNIFER C. KERR Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON Depression, teens and marijuana are a dangerous mix that can lead to dependency, mental illness or suicidal thoughts, according to a White House report being released Friday.

A teen who has been depressed at some point in the past year is more than twice as likely to have used marijuana as teens who have not reported being depressed — 25 percent compared with 12 percent, said the report by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.

"Marijuana is a more consequential substance of abuse than our culture has treated

it in the last 20 years," said John Walters, director of the office. "This is not just youthful experimentation that they'll get over as we used to think in the past."

Smoking marijuana can lead to more serious problems, Walters said in an interview.

For example, using marijuana increases the risk of developing mental disorders by 40 percent, the report said. And teens who smoke pot at least once a month over a yearlong period are three times more likely to have suicidal thoughts than nonusers, it said.

The report also cited research that showed that teens who smoke marijuana when feeling depressed were more than twice as likely as their peers to abuse or

issued a report saying they are 'unconvinced that there is a causal relationship between the use of cannabis and any affective disorder,' such as depression, he said.

The drug control policy office analyzed about a dozen studies looking at marijuana use, including research by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

Overall, marijuana use among teens has decreased 25 percent since 2001, down to about 2.3 million kids who used pot at least once a month, the drug control office said.

While the drop is encouraging, Walters appealed to parents to recognize signs of possible drug use and depression.

"It's not something you look the other way about when your teen starts appearing careless about their grooming, withdrawing from the family, losing interest in daily activities," Walters said. "Find out what's wrong."

Experts who have worked with children say there's nothing harmless about marijuana.

"I've seen many, many kids' lives negatively impacted and taken off track because of marijuana," said Elizabeth Stanley-Salazar, director of adolescent services for Phoenix House treatment centers in California. "It's somewhat Russian roulette. There are so many factors, emotional, psychological, biological. You can't predict the experimentation and how it will impact a kid."

Bruce Mirken, communications director for the Marijuana Policy Project, an organization that advocates the decriminalization of marijuana, called the study "an absolutely dishonest report, deliberately confusing correlation with causation."

MURRAY, Utah For Utah’s David Archuleta, the bright lights of Hollywood are fun but there’s no place like home.

With a police escort, the 17-year-old “American Idol” finalist waved from a convertible as thousands of people — many of them screaming girls — gathered last week at Murray High School to celebrate their hometown star.

The parade around the football field included Gov. Jon Huntsman, wife Mary Kaye Huntsman and other dignitaries.

“They’re just going amazing,” Archuleta replied when a local Fox TV reporter asked how things were going.

There were arches of black and orange balloons, the school’s colors, at the football stadium, and many people wore T-shirts that read, “I Voted For David Archuleta.”

“He’s amazing. I hope he wins,” said classmate Katie Brandon, 16, who sprinted to get a spot in the front row. “Either way, he’s going to get a record contract.”

Archuleta, still just a junior at Murray High, is a favorite on the Fox show. His dulcet tones and aw-shucks demeanor have prompted more than 12,000 fan comments on the “Idol” Web site, MySpace and Facebook.

Brianne Johnson, 10, Marnie Hartbrecht, 12, and Madeline Crapo, 12, get together as

often as possible to watch the show and vote for Archuleta. They line up about seven cell phones and start calling, hitting redial over and over.

They know Archuleta’s younger sister from school and church. The trio had a sign that said: “I (heart) you David.”

His family is “really proud of him,” said Marnie.

“And they’re not braggy,” added Madeline.

“This is the biggest thing ever for Murray,” Marnie said while they waited for Archuleta to arrive.

There was a girl carrying a sign proposing marriage, while four girls held a sign above their heads that read: “Future wife (s)” — with arrows pointing to each of them.

Earlier in the day, Archuleta appeared for an interview at the Salt Lake City Fox affiliate, KSTU-TV. Cheerleaders greeted his stretch limousine. The teen’s response: “Wow!” After a song and some cheerful banter with the morning anchors, Archuleta hit local radio stations before signing autographs outdoors among thousands of people at The Gateway, a Salt Lake City mall.

He’ll sing the national anthem at the JazzLakers NBA playoff game Friday night.

Archuleta, David Cook of Blue Springs, Mo., and Syesha Mercado of Sarasota, Fla., are the three finalists on “Idol.” The winner will be announced May 21.

Colleges, schools deal with higher food costs

BY MARK PRATT BOSTON Harvard is the world’s richest university, yet it recently pulled whole grain pasta from the dining service menu, replaced cherry tomatoes with wedges and even started using more chicken thighs in lieu of breasts.

Harvard junior Daniel Demetri was outraged when he noticed the changes.

“It was like, who are they kidding?” he said.

Actually, the university with the roughly $35 billion endowment was just doing what many other schools are doing in these tight times. The nation’s rising food costs are stirring up problems for dining halls and cafeterias, and institutions serving thousands of people a day are trying to find ways to cut costs while maintaining quality.

At Harvard, it didn’t last. In the face of outraged students demanding their whole grains it restored most of the items. But other places have stuck with the changes, or found more affordable ways to feed students.

Several schools have eliminated trays, on the theory that students will grab less if they have to carry the food in their hands. Still other schools, which charge students by the item, are increasing the cost of healthier choices.

Food prices rose more than 4 percent in the United States last year, the biggest jump since 1990, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A similar hike is predicted this year.

Food costs globally are being driven up

pitality and tourism management major said.

The school listens to student requests and concerns and posts nutritional information with each dish.

“Eating in the dining commons isn’t a nightmare option at UMass,” he said.

Educating students to take less, and waste less, is a strategy used at many schools. At Harvard, which serves 6,600 undergraduate students in 13 dining halls, posters as well as messages on television screens in the dining facilities encourage conservation.

UMass is also eliminating waste and saving money by streamlining its cooking process, using a computer program that analyzes traffic flow so cooking can be done based on need.

Higher food prices are not just a problem for colleges.

School systems that operate their own dining services are also looking at ways to save, said Jean Saunders, wellness director at the Chicago-based Healthy Schools Campaign.

Schools must meet federal government minimum nutrition standards, so changing menus is often not an option, she said.

Instead, many school food service operations are trying to boost revenue with increased sales of supplemental items, including juices, energy bars and other snacks.

Schools are going to have to become more creative at saving money as food prices continue to rise, said UC Santa Cruz’s Berlin. “This is a hot topic throughout the hospitality industry that’s not going to go away,” he said.

WE DON’T WANT TO COMPROMISE QUALITY, AND WE’RE NOT GOING TO COMPROMISE NUTRITION.”

Associated Press Writer

Scott Berlin, Director of dining and hospitality services at the University of California, Santa Cruz

by a variety of factors, including the rising price of petroleum products, used not just for transportation, but for fertilizers and processing. Grain prices are increasing as they are used to produce biofuels and to feed livestock to satisfy a growing demand for meat in developing countries.

Dealing with food price spikes is made more difficult by the fact schools generally set their dining hall budgets well before the start of the school year.

“We don’t want to compromise quality, and we’re not going to compromise nutrition,” said Scott Berlin, director of dining and hospitality services at the University of California, Santa Cruz, which experimented briefly with going trayless.

San Diego State University also has done away with trays at its dining room in the Cuicacalli resident hall, a traditional “allyou-care-to-eat” facility. The move, started in September, saved the facility 4.2 percent on food costs, said Paul Melchior, director of dining services, and actually allowed an expansion of the menu.

In addition, no trays mean less washing, cutting energy and soap costs.

Stephanie Savoian, a sophomore accounting major at San Diego State, ate at

the facility before it went trayless.

“People would tend to grab as much stuff as they could so they didn’t have to go up again, and I know from experience people would waste a lot of food that way,” she said.

Now that she lives off campus, she usually brings food from home because buying on campus is too expensive. “I have definitely noticed the increase in prices even from the beginning of the fall,” she said.

The University of Massachusetts in Amherst, which has the third largest oncampus dining operation in the country, serving 40,000 meals per day to 13,600 students, has instituted a “small plate/big flavor” program, said Ken Toong, executive director of dining services.

Instead of a 6-ounce piece of chicken, students now get 4 ounces. Instead of 4ounce bagels, students now get 3-ounce bagels.

Students are welcome to get seconds if they are still hungry, Toong said, but the smaller portions of higher quality food has reduced waste.

Junior Jamie Saengsawang has noticed the changes. “I’ve felt the food has gotten even better since my freshman year,” the hos-

Photographer covered Vietnam War FROM CP PAGE 3 that belonged to the school’s news department.

“You wouldn’t suspect my career had taken off on the basis of that one shot,” he said.

Following high school, Kennerly enrolled briefly at Portland State University before he was hired at the Oregon Journal, the largest afternoon newspaper in the northwestern state. When it came to choosing between school and jump-starting a career in photojournalism early on, he chose the latter.

In 1967, he was hired at UPI at the age of 20. By then, Kennerly had amassed a nice portfolio, including feature shots of Robert Kennedy, Miles Davis and The Rolling Stones.

Following his return from the Vietnam War, Kennerly was hired as the last photographer at Life Magazine before the publication folded. In the 1970s, he began covering the Watergate scandal, which eventually led to his stay at the White House.

“I had been covering (Ford) when he was vice president and had gotten to know his family well,” Kennerly said.

On the night Ford assumed the presidency, Kennerly sat at the former vice president’s home in Alexandria, Va., the two discussing their future in the White House.

Kennerly would become the White House photographer. He was 27 years old.

The two would remain friends through the years, past Ford’s term in office and up until his death in December 2006. Kennerly served as the official photographer during Ford’s funeral.

“It really completed the circle,” Kennerly

knew he was there,” Kennerly said. “He had the romantic revolutionary thing going, smoking a cigar ... his eyes alive with mischief and intelligence.”

Today Kennerly is a contributor for NBC News, shooting occasional stories and appearing on television segments. Kennerly, who is married to Santa Monica-Malibu PTA Council President Rebecca Kennerly and has three sons, also shoots book covers, his most recent being a yet-unpublished book featuring “The Apprentice” villain Omarosa Stallworth.

Amongst his favorite shots is a photo of five presidents at the opening of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library dedication ceremony in November 1991, the first time that all five leaders — George H.W. Bush, Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Ford and Richard Nixon — had gathered at the same place.

Kennerly recalls seeing nearly every photographer capture shots of the presidents head on, likening the pictures to a “cardboard cut-out.” Hoping to catch something unique, Kennerly went off to the side, when Reagan glanced over to Kennerly.

He instantly snapped the photo.

“That was what makes the picture work,” he said, referring to Reagan’s look. “In the back of my mind, I thought ‘thank you, Ronald Reagan.’”

Santa Monica residents and employees who attended the meeting last week expressed differing opinions on which alignments would best serve the Westside, all agreeing that congestion has reached unbearable levels.

“The Wilshire corridor is the true trunk line to a robust system in Los Angeles County,” Denny Zane, the executive director of the Subway to the Sea coalition, said.

The biggest hurdle in realizing another major transportation project is cost. The Wilshire Subway is estimated to cost more than $5 billion while the combined alternative is projected to cost nearly $8 billion.

Voters in the county could be asked to approve a half cent sales tax in the November election, the tax paying for transportationrelated projects.

“I hope the Subway to the Sea really makes it to the sea,” Louisa Fish, a Santa Monica resident, said.

Among the concerns expressed about the alignments was parking. Lauren Cole said that many residents live more than half a mile from Wilshire Boulevard and would be more inclined to use a subway if parking was available at the station.

While nearly everyone at the meeting appeared to be in favor of a subway option, the proposal wasn’t without its detractors.

Roger Fernandez said a subway would not work well in Santa Monica and would instead degrade the class of the city.

“I hope it dies a miserable death,” he said.

Some residents pointed out that while buses can contribute toward alleviating congestion, they won’t accomplish much in terms of cutting trip time.

“Traffic is only going to get worse and a bus will stay stuck in traffic as the cars are,” Joel Covarrubias said.

said.

Included in Kennerly’s portfolio are shots of some of the most polarizing figures in history, including one of his favorite subjects to photograph — communist leaders.

“I think because their societies are so closed that any time I can get close to people like that, it was always a big deal for me as a journalist and as a photographer,” Kennerly said.

One of his most frequent subjects was Fidel Castro.

healthy and organic, and luckily for conscious consumers, several chains offering just such fare are taking root in different parts of the U.S. One of the leaders of this small but scrappy pack of fast food upstarts is O’Naturals. The small chain currently runs two stores of its own in Maine (Falmouth and Portland) and one in Acton, Massachusetts, and franchises out additional locations in Kansas and Florida. O’Naturals’ menu contains lots of vegetarian-friendly items, including “build-your-own” flatbread sandwiches, salads, noodle stir-frys and soups. The meat the restaurant does serve is grass-fed and hormone-free, while the chickens are free-range and the Alaskan salmon is wild.

Another healthy option is EVOS, which currently runs five “quick-casual” restaurants in Florida and is planning a major expansion into the western U.S. Vegetarians can rejoice in the chain’s wide selection of vegetarian and vegan items. While its hormone- and antibiotic-free burgers are still only about as healthy as red meat gets, their soy burger satisfies without the guilt or the cholesterol. Also, EVOS uses organic field greens in its wraps and salads, organic milk in its milkshakes, and fresh fruit in its smoothies. Additionally, the restaurant airbakes its fries and other typically deep-fried items to keep the fat content as much as 70 percent lower than the same kinds of foods found elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Seattle-based Organics-ToGo, with five locations in Washington and California, lays out a wide array of “graband-go” organic and natural foods so customers can make up their own meals out of a cornucopia of healthy choices. Other fast food alternatives offering lots of health (as well as vegetarian and vegan) options include Au Bon Pain, Bruegger’s Bagels, Noah’s Bagels, and World Wraps, while Subway and Quizno’s alike can be good options for those willing to study the menu carefully.

Even though many alternatives exist, it is hard to beat the reach of the major fast food chains, several of which are making small steps toward healthier menus and will undoubtedly continue to do so if consumers bite. McDonald’s, KFC, Burger King and

HEALTHY CHOICES: Fast food doesn't have to be fattening and unhealthy. Even the major chains are taking steps toward healthier menus by reducing or eliminating trans-fats, offering veggie burgers and other meatless items, and using organic greens and fresh fruits.

Wendy’s have reduced or eliminated transfats. Burger King now offers a veggie burger, and McDonald’s is testing one in California.

Taco Bell offers many non-meat options, including a bean and cheese burrito, a veggie fajita wrap, and a 7-layer burrito, which can be had without the cheese and sour cream.

Carl’s Jr. also has many tasty and healthy vegetarian options despite an otherwise standard fast-food menu. Vegetarians and vegans looking for more ideas about what to eat when time is of the essence should consult any number of websites with pages devoted to the topic, including VegetarianRestaurants.net, VegCooking, FitWise and Vegetarian Resource Group.

And remember, nothing beats seeking out local restaurants when you’re on the road, to soak up some of the local culture.

The bee’s needs Farmers learn what it takes to attract pollinators

BY MATEUSZ PERKOWSKI Associated Press Writer

THE DALLES, Ore. It couldn’t have been a nice way to wake up on a cold spring day.

After an entomologist dug it up from its comfy underground home overlooking a cherry orchard, the longhorn bee was placed in a tiny glass vial and passed among a crowd of curious onlookers.

To the orchardists, university extension agents and others in attendance, the sleepy insect was proof that a patch of bare soil on a scraggly hillside could serve a worthwhile purpose: as a home for native pollinators.

“There’s all sorts of different places where you can squeeze habitat in,” said Matthew Shepherd, conservationist with the Xerces Society, a nonprofit invertebrate preservation group that is organizing a series of native pollinator workshops in Oregon.

The problems plaguing commercial honeybees have attracted a lot of attention since late 2006, when roughly one-fourth of U.S. beekeepers lost about 45 percent of their hives, he said.

Mites, protozoan parasites and the mysterious Colony Collapse Disorder threaten honeybees — and thus crop pollination — but native species, like several types of bumblebees, are also in trouble, said Shepherd.

Diminished habitat, disease, improper pesticide use and other factors have reduced the populations of such native pollinators, according to the Xerces Society.

This is bad news for pollinator-dependent farmers, since native species can greatly improve crop production, said Shepherd.

Each year they contribute about $3 billion to the U.S. economy, according to the Xerces Society.

Studies on sunflowers and cherry tomatoes, for example, have linked native pollinators with a doubling and tripling in yields, respectively, he said.

Native pollinators are unlikely ever to replace commercial hives, but they can obviously be a useful supplement, said Shepherd.

As demonstrated in sunflowers, their presence during pollination compels honeybees

to fly among a larger number of flowers instead of lingering amid just a few, he said.

“The native bees kept the honeybees moving,” Shepherd said.

Whereas honeybees might not venture from the hive in cooler temperatures, native pollinators are more apt to collect pollen and nectar in spite of the weather because they don’t have a honey supply to fall back on, he said.

“If they don’t go out during the day, they go hungry,” Shepherd said.

Farmers also stand to benefit from the lack of rental fees for native pollinators, although they should be under no illusion that the insects are free, he said.

To entice native bees to visit their fields, growers need to create habitats where the insects can live and feed, even when no crops are in bloom, Shepherd said.

In California watermelon fields, growers were able to achieve full pollination without honeybees if they left roughly one-third of the crop field’s vicinity in natural habitat, he said.

About two-thirds of the 4,000 native pollinator species in North America nest underground, while the rest live in wood snags, Shepherd said.

Before growers set out to create habitat, though, they should first identify what native species already exist on their farms, he said. Then they should adopt practices that prevent harm to insects, such as not spraying when plants are in bloom.

When designing a habitat, it pays to remember that not all flowering plants are created equal. Though some plants will attract beneficial predatory insects, others will harbor pests, so varieties should be chosen carefully.

Sometimes, developing pollinator habitat is a matter of what growers don’t do, said Paul Jepson, environmental and molecular toxicology professor at Oregon State University.

Farmers can simply avoid cultivating “scab” areas like the scraggly hillside where the longhorn bee was dug up, he said.

“It doesn’t have to be perfectly manicured and engineered to be good habitat,” said Jepson.

Environmental groups assail final plan for Arizona Strip

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX Environmental groups sharply criticized a final federal management plan Friday for millions of acres of rugged and remote public lands in northern Arizona’s Arizona Strip.

Groups including the Wilderness Society and the Center for Biological Diversity said the plan allows too much off-road vehicle use, livestock grazing and oil and gas development on the 2.8 million acres of public lands.

The Arizona Strip stretches for miles north of the Grand Canyon National Park and includes the Vermilion Cliffs and Grand Canyon-Parashant national monuments.

There are no paved roads on either monument, but several graded gravel roads on the latter. “They mostly are primitive twotrack roads that are very infrequently traveled,” said Scott Florence, BLM district manager for the Arizona Strip.

Critics contended that the plan, which

took effect Friday upon being published in the Federal Register, would not prevent habitat fragmentation for such key wildlife species found in the region as deer, elk and mountain lions.

It also would do little on behalf of the desert tortoise and other threatened, endangered and sensitive species, they said.

Wildlife habitat and archaeological sites will be sacrificed to oil and gas development, off-road vehicles and livestock grazing under the plan BLM issued, members of several environmental organizations said.

“Page after page, the BLM finds ways to promote continued off-road vehicle use in places that were set aside for their ancient artifacts, rugged landscapes, and habitat for desert species,” said Nada Culver, Wilderness Society senior counsel.

The BLM’s 3,000-page plan ignored why national monuments were created and disregards the wishes of the public to protect them, she said.

SALT LAKE CITY Andrei Kirilenko blocked Kobe Bryant twice in overtime and converted a three-point play with 35 seconds remaining as the Utah Jazz beat the Los Angeles Lakers 123-115 on Sunday, tying the Western Conference semifinals at 2-2.

The Jazz went 9-for-9 from the foul line in overtime and outscored the Lakers 15-7 in the extra 5 minutes.

Deron Williams had 29 points and 14 assists, while Carlos Boozer scored 12 of his 14 points in the second half and grabbed 12 rebounds. Mehmet Okur added 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Kirilenko finished with 15 points and five blocks — stuffing Bryant twice as the Lakers tried to rally in overtime.

Bryant finished with 33 points and 10 assists.

Game 5 is Wednesday in Los Angeles.

Utah was 40-for-76 (53 percent) and had a huge advantage at the foul line, making 37 of 45 free throws. The Lakers got only 25 attempts from the line and missed 11 of them. The Jazz reserves also dominated the Lakers’, outscoring them 39-16.

Los Angeles rallied from a 12-point deficit in the final four minutes to force overtime.

Derek Fisher scored 10 straight for the Lakers and blocked a shot by Williams just before the end of regulation with the score tied at 108.

The Lakers struggled in overtime and

didn’t score until a layup by Bryant with 1:10 remaining cut Utah’s lead to 112-110. Los Angeles almost forced the Jazz into a shot clock violation before Kyle Korver got off a shot from the corner just in time. The ball bounced off the rim right to Okur, who passed it back outside to Williams, and Utah was able to burn some time before Williams slipped a pass to Kirilenko, who dunked it while getting fouled by Lamar Odom.

Kirilenko made the free throw to put Utah up by five and the Jazz hit the rest of their free throws to clinch it.

Odom had 26 points and 13 rebounds, and Pau Gasol scored 23 and pulled down 10 boards. Fisher finished with 15 points, but no assists and got in early foul trouble.

Utah backup guard Ronnie Price also had a big game, despite finishing with four points and two assists. Price had to get four stitches for a cut over his right eye after he was flagrantly fouled early in the second quarter by Ronny Turiaf, who was ejected.

Turiaf came down hard with his left arm and Price went straight down and his head bounced on the court. Price leaped right up as his teammates swarmed the officials and pushed for the flagrant call. He got stitches in the locker room and came back in the second half with one of the plays of the game.

Luke Walton had a clear path for a layup or dunk after a missed 3-pointer by Price, who caught him from behind and blocked the shot midway through the fourth to keep Utah’s lead at 92-84.

PGA

Garcia wins The Players Championship

BY DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. Sergio Garcia, the best player without a major, got the next best thing Sunday.

Garcia ended the longest victory drought of his career by making a clutch par putt to force a playoff and hitting the island-green 17th on the first extra hole to defeat Paul Goydos in The Players Championship.

Haunted by putting problems that kept him without a victory the past three years and 53 PGA Tour events, Garcia came up with a 45-foot birdie on the 14th to get back in the game and a 7-foot par putt on the 18th hole for a 1-under 71.

Goydos, playing in the final group, missed a 15-foot par putt on the last hole for the win. He closed with a 74.

It was the first playoff at The Players since 1987, and the first time the PGA Tour opted to start it on the most notorious par 3 in golf. The shot was only 128 yards, but in wind that blasted 30 mph throughout the

day, to a green surrounded by water.

What a bad coincidence for Goydos — he was the first to hit into the water when the tournament began Thursday, and the last player to go into the water at the worst time.

His wedge came up short, and when Goydos saw the splash, he looked to the sky.

Garcia still faced the pressure of finding land, and his wedge hit the middle of the green and rolled to 4 feet. He missed the birdie putt, the one time it didn’t matter. He could have taken three putts from there and still won.

Goydos wound up making double bogey, the end of a dream week in which his dry humor and honest perspective finally had an audience.

“It’s been a lot of work,” Garcia said, clutching the crystal trophy. “It feels like the last three years I’ve been playing well.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to come around and win. This week, I played so nicely. It felt like everything was so hard. I’m just thrilled the week is over and I managed to finish on top.”

You might change your mind many times about a situation because you keep growing and mentally seeing it differently. If you are single, you could meet someone quite exotic who opens doors. Your choice could prove to be quite the “heartthrob.” If you are attached, the embers of love will explode and warm up this relationship if you choose to remain open to each other.

Although garlic beans, butteredtoast beans and cheese pizza beans are no longer available, connoisseurs can sample jelly beans made to taste like pencil shavings, ear wax, moldy cheese and vomit.

A Jelly Belly spokeswoman told Newhouse News Service in March, "There are 20 flavors in each little box ... so you don't know what flavor you are tasting ... coconut or baby wipe."

Eventually, the park will include rides and a concert theater adjacent to the Green Zone.

■ Questionable new products: (1) The Japanese manufacturer Nihon Sofuken recently introduced a slightly peach-flavored drink called Placenta 10000, but Wired.com was not able to verify whether it contains actual human placenta (which is supposed to have miraculous regenerating powers for some parts of the body). (2) From Nickelodeon merchandising has come a Spongebob Squarepants Musical Rectal Thermometer (which plays the Spongebob theme that (the designer apparently imagines) makes the temperature-taking process less unpleasant).

THE ROLF METHOD of Structural Integration, or "Rolfing", is a body therapy for the restoration of the connective tissue system, or fascial network, which invests in the entire body through and around muscles, bones and the internal organs. This webbing of tissue when injured, physically or emotionally, distorts into "holding patterns" of inefficient movement and pain. Through ten sessions of specific deep manipulation, breath and movement, the body is brought into a more balanced and flexible state. Call today for more information:(310) 924-1920 or visit rolfguild.org.
