Coyote sighting in Mid-City neighborhood

Tittinger plots cross-country walk to raise organ donation awareness

Daily Press Staff Writer

MID-CITY Paula Minardi could hardly believe her eyes.

There, on the 1300 block of Santa Monica Boulevard between Stanford and Yale streets, was a coyote.

“It had pointy ears and I told myself, ‘This is not just your average dog,’” Minardi said.

It seemed impossible that the wild creature would venture so far into the heart of urban Santa Monica, but the mutilated cat remains she found later confirmed her sighting, as did reports from other neighbors that walk their dogs in the early hours of the morning.

Andrew Hughnan, public information officer for the Department of Fish and Game in the Southern California region, doubts the feral canine was happy to come down from the mountain canyons surrounding Santa Monica, but the city represents a smorgasbord of food options for an enterprising creature.

DOWNTOWN Amazing what a pair of imaginary friends can inspire.

Onny and Oboe, the make-believe buddies of a little girl in failing health have, years later, become the inspiration for one man’s trek across the country to raise awareness for organ donation.

Michael Tittinger, a one-time editor of the Daily Press who until last week managed real estate properties in Santa Monica, is preparing to set out on his journey this week hoping to do right by the memory of his late wife, Deanna Tittinger.

In Deanna’s first years, she was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a common genetic heart disorder with potentially deadly consequences.

When she was 10, her parents were told that she wouldn’t live long without a heart transplant. Doctors said she would most likely not see her teens.

As a result of her poor health, Deanna didn’t have the opportunity to do some of the things other kids enjoyed.

“She spent a lot of time alone,” Tittinger said. “She had to use her imagination.”

And Onny and Oboe were born. They would accompany Deanna through life as she continued to defy the odds.

In 1997, at 27, she would meet Tittinger while the two worked for a newspaper in Pennsylvania. He a writer, she the director of the classifieds department. The two would find romance along the way, ultimately marrying.

Even with the excitement of the nuptials, there was always the stark reality that it could end at any time unless her name

COMMUNITY BRIEFS PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY

Wastewater work begins Barricades were placed Friday on a 1/2mile stretch of southbound Pacific Coast Highway, as a summer-long wastewater diversion project begins.

The key beach road is constricted so crews can bury 3,100 feet of new pipe at the foot of Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica.

One of the three southbound lanes will be closed for the next two months, Los Angeles officials said. And just one southbound lane will be open starting at 9 p.m. weeknights, as construction equipment will be on the road.

Northbound traffic will be unaffected. A temporary bridge and bike lane detour has been set up at Santa Monica Canyon for foot and cycle traffic.

The new sewer line, 3-feet in diameter, will divert dry weather runoff from several canyons to the Hyperion Sewage Treatment Plant just south of Los Angeles International Airport. The project is being paid for with a $500 million bond issue approved by Los Angeles voters to reduce pollution in Santa Monica Bay.

PACIFIC PALISADES

Benefit for OPCC Vintage Hollywood Foundation will hold its annual wine and food event Saturday, June 11 at a private home in the Pacific Palisades.

Homeless services provider OPCC will be the primary beneficiary of the fundraiser.

Vintage Hollywood is an intimate outdoor event attended by roughly 350 people and showcases an exclusive group of prominent restaurants and wineries, including Bar Toscana, Bouchon, The Foundry on Melrose, Jar, Literati Bar & Grill, Mozza, Tavern, Waterloo and City, Whist, and Zengo, among others.

Some two dozen wine producers, including Clos Pepe, Hitching Post, Kristine Ashe, La Fenetre, and Terra Valentine will provide an array of their vintages for this event.

“Vintage Hollywood Foundation’s mission is to support charitable organizations that promote the health and well-being of Southern California’s diverse community,” said the group’s president, Arlene Wszalek. “This year we selected OPCC to be our primary beneficiary because of their longstanding commitment to helping the homeless and low-income in Los Angeles. Each year they help thousands of Angelenos with innovative programs that address the complex range of issues underlying homelessness.”

Actor/comedian Greg Proops will serve as auctioneer for a live auction of unique food, wine and entertainment experiences, and KNX Newsradio afternoon drive host Jim Thornton will be the evening’s emcee.

five days a week for nearly three decades and died within a day of each other.

Betty Taylor, who played Slue Foot Sue in Disney’s long-running Golden Horseshoe Revue, passed away Saturday — one day after the death of Wally Boag, who played her character’s sweetheart, Pecos Bill.

The 91-year-old Taylor died at her home in Washington state, Disneyland announced on its web site. Boag, who was 90, died Friday. He was a resident of Santa Monica.

The causes of death were not announced and attempts to contact relatives for comment were not immediately successful.

“Betty’s role as leading lady in Disneyland’s Golden Horseshoe Revue helped turn it into the longest-running stage show in entertainment history,” George Kalogridis, the president of Disneyland Resort, said in a statement.

“It is a tragic coincidence that her passing comes just one day after the death of longtime co-star Wally Boag.”

Boag, a former vaudeville performer, signed a two-week contract with Walt Disney in 1955. He originated the role of Pecos Bill in the revue, taking the stage three times a day and logging nearly 40,000 performances before retiring in 1982.

Most of those shows were alongside Taylor, who joined the revue a year after Hoag. Her run on the show — which closed in 1986 — lasted nearly 45,000 performances.

The Golden Horseshoe Revue is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest running stage production in show business history.

While the American information technology consultant and Venezuelan pet groomer wed at a romantic Connecticut ceremony last year, the federal government won’t recognize the marriage between the two men — and as a result, won’t approve their application for a green card.

But the couple, and others facing a similar predicament, are still trying. The men don’t expect to actually obtain a green card

EDITOR IN CHIEF

Too much debt Editor:

Like my fellow Americans, I am deeply concerned about our nation’s financial future. Our country will face a fiscal catastrophe if Washington can’t address our crushing debt.

Fortunately, some in Congress understand the urgency. For months, a bipartisan group of Senators known as the “Gang of Six” have been working together to produce a comprehensive plan to address the ballooning deficit. Their approach has earned the backing of No Labels, a new political group encouraging bipartisan problem-solving.

As Congress weighs its next move in the weeks ahead, we need our leaders to demonstrate real courage and exercise political restraint. Let’s hope our representatives give the Gang of Six a fair hearing. If not, we risk more hyper-partisan gridlock, which we can’t afford.

Civic Auditorium plan a waste of $46.8 million

Kevin Herrera editor@smdp.com

MANAGING EDITOR Daniel Archuleta daniela@smdp.com

STAFF WRITER Ashley Archibald ashley@smdp.com

LAST

WEEK,

THE

CITY

COUNCIL

approved $46.8 million in redevelopment funds for renovation of the 53-year-old Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.

Problem is the Civic is out of date and no amount of renovation short of a tear-down and rebuild will fix it. It’s basically a multipurpose room — the kind of which went out of style in the 1960s.

Newer venues such as the Kodak Theater, Nokia Theater, Staples Center, Gibson Amphitheater and others have made houses like the Civic as useless as propellers on a jet plane. The economics of a 3,000-seat auditorium are all wrong. It is too small for major acts or big budget productions and too large for more intimate, lower cost performances.

Thanks to an incoherent Civic Center plan, there are no nearby amenities to support a viable theater operation — no other performance venues, cafes, restaurants or even night life. If adjacent surface parking is eliminated as planned, the nearest garage is behind the Santa Monica Courthouse (an inconvenient 1/4-mile away) and it’s too small.

Sure, we all attended surf movies and rock concerts in the Civic. And, it has a great stage. But, is that reason to save it?

Architecturally, it’s a big, ugly box designed by a mediocre mid-20th century architect, Welton Becket.

The fiscal success of the Civic is dependent on a contract with show business impresarios Nederlander to book acts/shows at the facility. The Nederlander deal does nothing for City Hall or Santa Monica taxpayers.

The five-year contract has a five-year option renewable by Nederlander, not City Hall. Nederlander is not required to make an investment. This means they can walk away and leave City Hall holding the bag for nearly $47 million and no promoter/booker.

Some estimates are that even after renovation, the Civic would still need at least $1 million annually in operational subsidies.

City Hall bureaucrats promised the gussied-up auditorium will generate $18 million in economic activity 10 years down the road. But this is pure guesswork. By the way, “economic activity” isn’t profit. It isn’t even income. Like “whiter than white,” it’s nebulous and meaningless.

Council members Terry O’ Day, Bobby Shriver and Gleam Davis got it right by opposing this expenditure of redevelopment funds. On the other side were Mayor Richard Bloom, Kevin McKeown, Pam O’Connor and Robert Holbrook, who were probably dreaming of returning to the golden days of Academy Award shows and big name concerts that are gone forever.

announcing a raft of parking improvements including changes in its handling of parking citation appeals.

On May 9, I wrote about the deeply flawed appeal process and described appealing a parking ticket by writing a letter to the Parking Violations Bureau (a sub-contractor of ACS State and Local Solutions which handles parking ticket administrative services for City Hall) and explaining why you think your ticket was in error.

Unless dismissed, you’ll receive a “form” notification stating, “the citation is valid.”

However California Vehicle Code statute 40215(a) states clearly that initial review notification “include a reason for that denial.”

To appeal further, one can post bail and request a hearing in front of an examiner who is also a City Hall contractor. Again, if the citation is not dismissed by the examiner, another unsigned notification will be sent stating, “the citation is valid.” Yet, CVC statute 40215(c)(6) says, “... if the notice (citation) is not canceled, include a written reason for that denial.”

I contended that “the citation is valid” is a determination, not a reason for denial. I wrote that city staff and its contractors were not adhering to CVC codes and denying appellants due process by not following statute.

The recent press handout suggested City Hall provided, “the minimum information required by law” on notifications. I disagree.

This is like putting lipstick on a pig. No matter who much lipstick is applied it’s still a pig and “a determination” is still not “a reason.”

The release then proclaims, “providing additional details [or a reason?] with these letters would improve customer service. The notifications sent by the city during the parking citation appeal process now reflect this additional information.”

Customer service, my behind. City Hall is trying to avoid a class action lawsuit.

The area director of operations for ACS admitted that City Hall was notified of changes in CVC 40215, effective Jan. 1, 2009, yet city staff never authorized changes in notification letters. “Good customer service” would be rehearing cases and refunding all fines/bail charged appellants who were victimized by City Hall’s apparent disregard of vehicle code statutes and process.

Any person who appealed a parking citation after Jan. 1, 2009 who wants additional details on the appeal process can e-mail their request with the citation number to parking.office@smgov.net. City Hall promises they’ll respond within 10 business days.

Don’t forget to ask for a dismissal and bail/fine refund, while you’re at it.

E. coli outbreak blamed on German veggie sprouts KIRSTEN GRIESHABER TOMISLAV SKARO Associated Press

HAMBURG, Germany The terrifying E. coli outbreak in Europe appears to have been caused by vegetable sprouts grown on an organic farm in Germany, an agriculture official Sunday as the toll climbed to at least 22 dead and more than 2,200 sickened.

Preliminary tests found that bean sprouts and other sprout varieties from the farm in the Uelzen area, between the northern cities of Hamburg and Hannover, could be traced to infections in five German states, Lower Saxony Agriculture Minister Gert Lindemann said.

“There were more and more indications in the last few hours that put the focus on this farm,” Lindemann said.

Many restaurants involved in what is now the deadliest known E. coli outbreak in modern history had received deliveries of the sprouts, which are often used in salads, Lindemann spokesman Gert Hahne told The Associated Press.

Definitive test results should be available Monday, Lindemann said.

In recent days, as health officials tried to pinpoint the source of the unusually lethal outbreak, suspicion fell on lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes, perhaps from Spain. Spanish farmers complained that the accusations were having a devastating financial effect.

"First it’s the ‘evil’ Spaniards, and then you hear, very surprised, that it is our neighbor,” said Dietrich Benni, who lives near the German farm. “It’s a bit scary all of this, especially that it is coming from an organic place.”

He added: “No more organic food for me for now.”

The farm was shut down Sunday and all its produce recalled, including fresh herbs, fruits, flowers and potatoes. Two of its employees were also infected with E. coli, Lindemann said. He said 18 different sprout mixtures from the farm were under suspicion, including sprouts of mung beans, broccoli, peas, chickpeas, garlic lentils and radishes.

As for how the sprouts became contaminated, Lindemann noted that they are grown with steam in barrels at 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit) — an ideal environment for bacteria to multiply.

He said it is possible that the water was contaminated with E. coli or that the sprout seeds — purchased in Germany and other countries — contained the germ. He said the farmers had not used any manure, which is commonly spread on organic farms and has been known to cause E. coli outbreaks.

Lindemann urged Germans not to eat

Happy birthday, St. Monica St. Monica Catholic Church this past weekend kicked off a year-long celebration of its 125th anniversary.

So, this week’s Q-Line question asks:

sprouts until further notice. He said authorities could not yet rule out other possible sources and warned Germans to continue avoiding tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce for now.

AP journalists went to the farm on Sunday night, but nobody was available to talk. Telephone messages left at the farm’s office were also not immediately returned.

The outbreak has been blamed on a highly aggressive, “super-toxic” strain of E. coli, perhaps one that scientists have never seen before.

E. coli can be found in the feces of humans and livestock and can spread to produce through sloppy bathroom habits among farmworkers and through animal waste in fields and in irrigation water.

Organic farms tend to use more manure than other producers do.

Sprouts have been implicated in previous E. coli outbreaks, particularly one in 1996 in Japan, where tainted radish sprouts killed 12 people and reportedly sickened more than 12,000 others.

The head of Germany’s national disease control center raised the death toll to 22 Sunday — 21 in Germany and one in Sweden — and said an additional 2,153 people in Germany have been sickened. That figure included 627 people who have developed a rare, serious complication of the disease that can cause kidney failure. Ten other European nations and the U.S. have reported a total of 90 other victims.

Earlier Sunday, Germany’s health minister fiercely defended his country’s handling of the crisis as he toured a hospital in Hamburg, the epicenter of the emergency.

The comments by Health Minister Daniel Bahr reflected a sharp shift in his public response to the crisis and came after AP journalists reported on emergency room chaos and unsanitary conditions at the same hospital, the University Medical Center in Hamburg-Eppendorf.

On Saturday, Bahr admitted that hospitals in northern Germany were overwhelmed and struggling to provide beds and medical care for victims of the outbreak, and he suggested that other German regions start taking in sick patients from the north.

But after one E. coli survivor told the AP that conditions at the Hamburg hospital were horrendous when she arrived with cramps and bloody diarrhea, Bahr announced a visit and told reporters that German medical workers and northern state governments were doing “everything necessary” to help victims.

Nicoletta Pabst, 41, told the AP that sanitary conditions at the Hamburg-Eppendorf hospital were shocking and its emergency room was overflowing with ailing people when she arrived May 25.

WAY OUT OF PROPORTION: The Environmental Defense Fund reports that the top 25 emitters of mercury, a potent neurotoxin and a nasty by-product of coal-fired electricity generation, contribute only eight percent of the United States’ electric supply but account for nearly a third of all mercury emissions by the nation’s electricity sector overall.

Too much mercury Dear EarthTalk Is it true that only a handful of outdated coal-burning power plants generate a sizable amount of the mercury pollution generated in the United States? If so, is anything being done to clean these sites up or shut them down?

plants are increasingly being retrofitted with technologies to mitigate the output of various forms of pollution. But a number of bad apples do continue to cause more than their fair share of mercury emissions. This past March the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), a leading non-profit, released a report showing that the top 25 emitters of mercury, a potent neurotoxin and a nasty by-product of coal-fired electricity generation, contribute only eight percent of the U.S. electric supply. At the same time, these power plants, which have failed to install readily available pollution controls already widely in use by other plants, account for nearly a third of all mercury emissions by the American electricity sector overall.

The report, “Mercury Alert: Cleaning up Coal Plants for Healthier Lives,” factors in emissions of mercury at power plants across the country in 2009. According to EDF, 20 of the top 25 mercury emitters are located within 50-100 miles of some of the largest metropolitan areas in the nation, including Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, St. Louis and Austin. EDF found that Texas produces the most pollution from coal-fired electricity generation of all the U.S. states.

Besides listing the worst mercury polluters, the report also details recent cases of mercury contamination and fish consumption advisories across the country, as well as reported new installations of mercury controls and recently enacted state regulations driving their implementation.

The release of the report was timed to coincide with the announcement by the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of more stringent rules regarding emissions of mercury and other air polluters such as arsenic, dioxin and acid gases from individual power plants. EDF hopes that the report will bolster public support for the federal government to crack down on any plants that continue to buck the trend towards greener operations.

“There are widely available, cost-effective and tested technologies to reduce mercury pollution from power plants by more than 90 percent,” reports EDF. Currently only 17 U.S. states regulate mercury air emissions, but the upcoming EPA rule will force plants even in unregulated states to clean up their acts.

Mercury pollution is an ongoing problem around the world. Exposure to mercury in the environment has been linked to a variety of reproductive, cardiovascular and other human health problems. Airborne mercury from electricity plants usually finds its way into waterways and eventually the ocean where it is taken up by successively larger marine life as it works its way up the food chain. The top ocean predators such as tuna and swordfish contain relatively large amounts of mercury in their fatty tissue as a result of eating smaller fish which have in turn eaten even smaller forms of marine life.

Consumers can limit their mercury intake by minimizing our consumption of these larger fish (including albacore canned tuna), but the problem will linger long into the future even if we start to reign in mercury pollution domestically, especially because the cleaner technologies being implemented here may take decades to find their way to power plants in poor and developing countries.

COYOTES FROM PAGE 1 Coyotes weigh in at about 40 pounds, or the size of a mid-sized dog. They are strong for their stature, capable of jumping fences and using their long snouts and vicious-looking teeth to snatch dog food or, potentially, a little dog.

“Coyotes are everywhere, in every county and every community,” Hughnan said.

“There’s no real rhyme or reason why they would be popping out now, but like all wild animals, it’s about food sources.”

They come out in the pre-dawn and dusk for their raids, which is often the time that pet owners will let their dogs, cats or other animals out for an evening romp.

Don’t do it, Hughnan said, or if you do, keep an eye on your animal.

“They’re most active first thing in the morning and last thing at night. I don’t recommend leaving pets out around dinner time,” Hughnan said. “If you do let them outside, get a lawn chair and commune with your dog as it runs around.”

The same goes for small children and toddlers, which don’t threaten the canines as much as their parental minders.

Those that take their dogs out for morning and evening walks should still keep their wits about them and keep an eye on their surroundings, both in front and behind, Hughnan said.

Despite the dire warnings, very few peo-

ple get bitten by coyotes, and only one person in California in the last 40 years has died as a result of a coyote attack.

According to the Humane Society of America, more people get killed by “errant golf balls and flying champagne corks each year than are bitten by coyotes.”

Those are pretty good odds, which are only improved by taking common sense precautions.

The animals come into neighborhoods looking for food. Eliminate that temptation by securing trash cans, bringing in pet food and not allowing small, vulnerable pets to wander on their lonesome, and the coyote “problem” will fix itself, Hughnan said.

If a person does see a coyote, they should call the non-emergency number of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s station in Marina del Rey at (310) 823-7762 or Malibu at (818) 878-1808.

Calling 9-1-1 from a cell phone will route to the California Highway Patrol, which probably won’t be able to connect with a game warden quickly enough to deal with the problem, Hughnan said.

The experience was an eye-opener for Minardi, who called around to Animal Control to educate herself on how to make sure her dauschund mix, Rita, stayed safe.

“I think it’s an important wake-up call that we do live within dynamic wildlife,” Minardi said. ashley@smdp.com

happened.

“It dawned on me that it had been 10 years,” he said. “I always vowed to do something for people similar to her.”

A conversation with his new wife, Brooke, was the clincher. The two were discussing what he could do to honor Deanna when she simply said, “You’re going to walk home, aren’t you?”

Tittinger had considered that as an option, but the fact that it came from his current wife gave him all the motivation he would need to create the Onny and Oboe Scholarship Fund and decided to walk across the country back to Deanna’s childhood New Jersey home, with a brief stop in Philadelphia, where he was raised. He dubbed the venture Mikey Walks. It’s even the address of the website he created to support the cause.

He hopes to raise $25,000 for the fund, which will be awarded annually to somebody who has been touched by organ donation. He’d like to raise more, but being a man on the eve of a transcontinental walk, he’s pacing himself.

“It’s a second chance to live,” he said, “a second chance to dream.”

Once he decided on a cause and a means to an end, Tittinger had to consider routes.

He decided on the fabled Route 50, which travels from Northern California through Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland. While Route 50 comprises most of the distance, he’ll need to transition to alternate routes near the East Coast to make it to New Jersey.

Lucky for Tittinger, he won’t be alone. In addition to his imaginary traveling buddies Onny and Oboe, he’s recruited a filmmaker friend of his to drive a van as a chase vehicle along this epic trip.

We have you covered Matthew Stanton, who Tittinger met in 2004 while the two worked at House of Billiards on Wilshire Boulevard, didn’t think his friend was crazy for taking on such a monumental task. He was intrigued by Tittinger’s commitment to the project.

Stanton was easily sold on the idea and volunteered to tag along. He even convinced a small business in his native Ohio to donate the van. Jack’s Way to the Heart obliged and the trip became even more of a reality.

“It’s a leap of faith kind of venture,” Stanton said. “I love that he’s leaving behind the comforts of his lifestyle, searching for something more inspiring.”

Along with being Tittinger’s support staff, Stanton wanted to document the trip as a film project. Tittinger at first didn’t want the spectacle of filming a documentary to distract from his walk, but ultimately agreed to be the subject of the film, but with conditions.

He wants Stanton to remain as detached as possible as the two head east.

“He didn’t want to be the center of a film project,” Stanton said. “He wanted it to be organic and unfold naturally.

“His biggest objective is that the reactions to communities aren’t influenced by the camera.”

It will be a difficult task, but Stanton, who has had a film in the influential Sundance Film Festival, said that he’ll just lay back and act as a voyeur of Tittinger’s travels.

“I want it told truthfully,” Stanton said.

“I’m ready to record.”

The two will begin the trip later this week in San Francisco, where Tittinger has a buddy who owns a bar on Fisherman’s Wharf.

In the mean time, he’s actively looking for sponsors. He’s had some luck thus far, but said that he’ll ramp up his fundraising efforts while on the road.

CARDS FROM PAGE 3 know what to expect,” said Gentry, 53. “It can’t hurt (to refile). All they can do is deny it again.”

For years, immigration attorneys warned gay couples not to bother seeking a green card for their foreign spouses since there was no chance they’d get one. Now, in select cases, they’re starting to rethink that advice.

In the wake of the federal government’s announcement that it will no longer defend a law that defines marriage as between a man and a woman and a court ruling raising questions about the law, some immigrant advocates have suggested that gay couples fighting deportation apply for a green card in a final effort to stay in the country.

Most couples, advocates say, should refrain from doing so to avoid drawing attention to their predicament if the foreign spouse is here illegally, and to avoid forking over cash for a benefit they won’t get anytime soon if here on a legal visa.

But the small group of couples already facing deportation has little to lose by applying, and might see some gain.

In March, an immigration judge in New York halted deportation proceedings involving a lesbian couple until December. Last month, an immigration judge in New Jersey did the same for a Venezuelan salsa dancer married to an American graduate student

after Attorney General Eric Holder asked an immigration appeals court to review another case involving a same-sex couple.

In a memo posted to its web site in March, the American Immigration Lawyers Association suggested that couples facing deportation consider filing for a green card in the hopes that it might win sympathy from an immigration judge willing to put the case on hold or bolster the immigrant spouse’s case for an asylum petition.

“We are advising more people to do it — at least in the context of if the foreign partner, the foreign spouse is in deportation proceedings,” said Victoria Neilson, legal director of Immigration Equality, an immigrant rights group focused on the gay and lesbian community. “At this point there is more of a feeling that the tide is turning on marriage in this country and it could be something that could be helpful.”

U.S. immigration authorities are denying green cards for same-sex couples because the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act specifies that marriage is between a man and a woman, said Chris Bentley, spokesman for Citizenship and Immigration Services. As of March, the agency had 10 or 20 such petitions pending, he said.

There are roughly 26,000 bi-national same-sex couples in the United States where one partner is a U.S. citizen. There’s no estimate on how many have legally married, said Gary Gates, a UCLA professor and coauthor of the Gay and Lesbian Atlas.

men’s Rock ‘n Roll Marathon on Sunday and Buzunesh Deba of Ethiopia took the women’s event.

Negari pulled away at mile 19 to breeze to victory in 2 hours, 11 minutes, 18 seconds, kissing the ground after winning his first title at 26.2 miles in his San Diego debut.

Tesfaye Sendeku of Ethiopia was second in 2:12:23. Gilbert Chepkwony of Kenya was third in 2:12:50.

Luke Humphrey of Rochester Hill, Mich., was the first American finisher, crossing fifth in 2:14:39.

Deba had won five of her seven previous marathons, including the L.A. Marathon earlier this year. She set a personal record of 2:23:31 in her Rock ‘n’ Roll debut, beating fellow Ethiopian Misiker Mekonnen, who finished in 2:25:21.

Meb Keflezighi, the 2008 Olympic silver medalist and 2009 New York City Marathon winner, captured the men’s half marathon in 1:02:40, while Gina Slaby, 29, representing the U.S. Navy. won the women’s half in 1:16:33.

Deba, who pulled away at mile 17, broke the event record set by Margaret Okayo (2:25:05) in 2001, earning an extra $5,000 to go along with her $25,000 first-place prize.

Negari, the men’s winner, also earned $25,000.

"We are going to use the money to buy a

house back in New York,” Deba said through her husband, Worku Beyi, also a runner.

“I hope you won’t laugh at me at me,” said Beyi, who saw his wife better his marathon best of 2:25:52. “I guess I have some extra training to do.”

Deba, who has lived in the Bronx in New York for the last six years, said that her training twice a day helped fuel her run Sunday and that the course was “nice.”

Rounding out the top five women were Helena Kirop of Kenya (2:27:01), Olena Shurkhno of the Ukraine (2:28:34) and Salina Kosgei of Kenya (2:32:06).

Keflezighi, a hometown favorite, finished almost three minutes ahead of 25-year-old Drew Polley of Rochester Hills, who was clocked in 1:05:38.

“I saw a lot of my friends and some of high school teammates on the course and I thought I would take care of business early,” Keflezighi said. “It’s wonderful to win in my home town especially in my first time. A lot of people were calling me by name.

“I am coming back from injury in New York so I’m not in great shape, but this was a good test for me. This was my best time for the year.”

He said he would race again in a month, but didn’t know where.

Slaby had already qualified for the Olympic Trials with her second-place finish in the Arizona Rock ‘n Roll Marathon in January.

■ Anorexia nervosa is widely recognized as a debilitating eating disorder that can be fatal in as many as 10 percent of cases. However, men with masturbation fantasies about super-skinny women have fueled an almost-five-fold increase in "ana-porn" websites, to more than 1,500 since 2006, according to an April report by London's The Guardian. One site's recruiting page limited models to those with a body-mass index of 15 or under, and warned that "(b)ones and ribs must be very visible."

However, these recruiters are sometimes anorexics' only flatterers, terming them "superstar(s) of starvation," "much prettier than all those meat mountains."

(Unlike child or animal pornography, ana-porn is not illegal.)

■ A St. Louis Post-Dispatch investigation of voter rolls since 1981 in East St. Louis, Ill., identified 27 specific dead people who voted in various elections, complete through the 1990 primary. Inspiringly, two men who had never cast a single vote while alive apparently decided to begin participating in the democratic process once they had died, and Mr. Willie E. Fox Sr., who has voted six times since his death in 1987, mysteriously switched registration this year (1991) from Republican to Democrat.

U.S. District court judge Jose Alejandro Gonzalez, Jr. rules that the rap album As Nasty As They Wanna Be by 2 Live Crew violates Florida's obscenity law; he declares that the predominant subject matter of the record is "directed to the 'dirty' thoughts and the loins, not to the intellect and the mind."
