From the brink of death to the Hall of Fame

walking, biking and public transportation in an effort to decrease traffic and pollution.

The plan identifies ways the city might get more people out of cars and onto bikes

DOWNTOWN Dave Blackburn, Santa Monica resident and a recent inductee to the International Softball Congress Hall of Fame, tells a “joke.”

“Every day for a month I had to look the grim reaper in the eyes and say I have a hall of fame to get to and you and not any one else is going to stop me,” Blackburn said.

Of course he adds, it’s not really a joke, but instead for Blackburn, it was his reality for 53 days while he lay in a medicallyinduced coma.

On Aug. 26 of last year, traveling with some of his teammates to Prescott, Ariz. for the 40-and-over ASA National Tournament, their vehicle was struck by another car and tore Blackburn apart.

Blackburn broke 27 bones, including his sternum and pitching arm, had two collapsed lungs, bruised his heart and tore critical nerves in his lower leg.

“I was touch or go living and dying ... the trauma center in Phoenix told me that in 20 years no one had ever come to them that messed up and survived,” Blackburn said.

But he did.

Blackburn spent eight months recovering in Phoenix hospitals and nursing homes before returning to Santa Monica.

However, Blackburn, whose ability to walk was robbed from him by the accident, found himself in another hospital — Kaiser WLA — last Monday.

Blackburn had developed a foot infection and was advised by doctors not to attend the hall of fame induction ceremony in Moline, Ill. and instead undergo an operation.

The risk was huge — if the foot infection went untreated they would have to amputate his leg.

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

Pair of local coaches decide to leave positions

BY DANIEL ARCHULETA Managing Editor

DOWNTOWN The Santa Monica sports scene will be sans two familiar faces come the school year.

Santa Monica High School's softball coach Marybell Moreno and St. Monica's boys' volleyball coach Javy Martinez have decided to leave their respective posts.

Moreno leaves Samohi following just one year leading the program after taking over for longtime coach, and one of her personal mentors, Debbie Skaggs. She was successful in leading the Vikings back to the playoffs a year removed from the school's first CIFSouthern Section championship in the sport in Skaggs' last year leading the team.

The lure of a promotion at her day job — aerospace company Teledyne Controls

— was just too much for the walk-on coach to pass up. As a walk-on coach, Moreno wasn't a teacher at the school, a fact that exacerbated her decision to leave.

Another factor in her decision was the ailing health of her mother, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. As her primary care provider, Moreno said that a proSEE COACHES PAGE 8

SoCal grocery workers reject contract deal ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES Thousands of Southern

GOOD SHOWING: ‘The Help,’ starring Emma Stone and Octavia Spencer, took the top spot at the domestic box office this weekend.

'The Help' comes in first at box office DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES "The Help" continues to clean up at the box office, taking over the No. 1 spot with $20.5 million in its second weekend.

The DreamWorks Pictures film starring Viola Davis, Emma Stone and Octavia Spencer in a drama about Southern black maids had debuted in second-place a week earlier. "The Help" raised its domestic total to $71.8 million and bumped 20th Century Fox's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," which slipped to No. 2 with $16.3 million after two weekends at the top, according to studio estimates Sunday.

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" remains a solid hit, lifting its domestic total to $133.8 million.

Much as Kathryn Stockett's novel "The Help" became a best-seller through readers talking it up, the film is holding strong as audiences tell friends to go see it, said Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney, which releases DreamWorks films.

While revenues often drop 50 percent or more in the second weekend for big studio films, receipts for "The Help" were down only 21 percent from opening weekend.

"It is a rare feat to see a film not open at No. 1 and then become No. 1," Hollis said.

"To me, it's a testament of it being a great film, as well as the viral nature of the word of mouth about it."

A rush of new movies had weak openings: the Weinstein Co. family sequel "Spy Kids: All the Time in the World" at No. 3 with $12 million; Lionsgate's action remake "Conan the Barbarian" at No. 4 with $10 million; the DreamWorks-Disney horror-comedy remake "Fright Night" at No. 5 with $8.3 million; and Focus Features' literary adaptation "One Day" at No. 9 with $5.1 million.

Overall domestic revenues slid for the first time in five weekends. Receipts totaled $124 million, down 3 percent from the same weekend last year, when "The Expendables" led with $17 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.

Other than "Fright Night," the new movies were panned by critics, and audiences were apathetic about all of the newcomers.

"This is the reason the term dog days of August was invented," said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. "Other than the 'The Help' and to some extent 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes,' everybody else got beat up this weekend. This was one of those really slow, turn-movie-theaters-into-aghost-town weekends."

— had the benefit of higher-priced 3-D screenings, but none were able to capitalize.

Robert Rodriguez's fourth "Spy Kids," featuring Jessica Alba as an agent whose stepkids get in on the espionage action, also added odor to the picture with scratch-and-sniff cards handed out to viewers so they could smell what the characters were smelling.

The gimmick failed to pack in crowds, though, with the sequel's revenues coming in at barely a third of the $33.4 million debut for the last "Spy Kids" flick in 2003.

"Conan the Barbarian" stars Jason Momoa as the fierce warrior played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1980s original. "Fright Night" features Colin Farrell as a vampire going after a neighbor (Anton Yelchin) who discovers he's a blood-sucker.

Based on David Nicholls' best-seller, "One Day" casts Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess as friends in a decades-long romantic dance that plays out on the same day each year.

With solid reviews, Disney executives thought "Fright Night" would offer a good mix of scares and laughs for fans in their late teens and early 20s. But distribution boss Hollis said "Fright Night" fell victim to an issue that has troubled studios all sumSEE BOX OFFICE PAGE 7

California grocery workers have voted overwhelmingly to reject a health care proposal from major supermarket chains and authorize their union leaders to call a strike, a spokesman said early Sunday.

More than 90 percent of voters from the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 770, which has about 62,000 members, rejected the proposal from Vons, Ralphs and Albertsons stores.

The rejection automatically authorizes union officials to call a strike after 72 hours Shimpock did not have precise numbers on how many voted, but said the turnout was "huge."

The union will report the results to the dispute's federal mediator on Monday and that more talks would likely follow.

"We're willing to come back to the table and stay there," Shimpock said. "Our goal here is not to go on strike, we don't want to go on strike, but unfortunately we've been pushed into a corner by these corporations."

A four-month strike and lockout that began in 2003 cost Ralphs and other grocery chains an estimated $2 billion.

Messages left for grocery store representatives were not immediately returned, but Ralphs Grocery Co. spokeswoman Kendra Doyel previously told The Associated Press that her chain is committed to staying at the table to negotiate, and the grocers' proposal was affordable and good for employees and their families.

Union members have been working without a contract since March.

Both sides announced last month that they had reached a tentative agreement on the employers' contributions to pension benefits, but health care costs have been a major sticking point.

Ralphs currently pays more than 90 percent of employee health coverage costs, Doyel said. Workers hired before 2004 pay nothing for health insurance while those hired later pay either $7 a week for single coverage or $15 a week for family coverage.

The companies' proposal would raise that to $9 a week for singles and $23 a week for families. That is much lower than the average cost of health care insurance in California, she said.

The case to ditch chocolate milk Editor:

Please allow me an opportunity to correct the misleading and factitious statements made by Prof. Keith Thomas Ayoob in his letter printed on Aug. 15 (”Keep chocolate milk in schools”). The professor indicates that the decision to ban chocolate milk by districts such as LAUSD is “one of the most ridiculous ever in the field of child nutrition.” As a pediatric cardiologist and one who deals with the effects of poor nutrition and pediatric obesity on a daily basis, I couldn’t disagree more! In December 2010, the American Heart Association published their national goals for nutrition and exercise for the decade starting in 2011. “AHA Strategic Impact Goal through 2020 and beyond” clearly states that the “focus (of dietary intervention) is on all sugar sweetened beverages given its demonstrated association to obesity.” Furthermore, in December 2010 the USDA published “Dietary Guidelines 2010.” This consensus government statement specifically recommends replacing sugary drinks with water and consuming either low-fat or fat-free milk. There is no mention at all of chocolate milk as Prof. Ayoob claims.

Chocolate milk supporters point to a study suggesting that milk consumption goes down by 35 percent if chocolate milk is removed from schools. The fact is that this study was funded by the National Dairy Association and Milk Processing Boards, both of which have a vested interest in promoting milk consumption.

Furthermore, the methodology of the study does clearly state that not only were the schools paid, but also data from only 12 random (not consecutive) days per school were used and a consulting group (called Prime Consulting) was hired by the Dairy Association to conduct the study and tabulate results. This hardly qualifies as a randomized, unbiased study.

In addition, Prof. Ayoob would like us to believe that somehow the added sugar, corn starch, salt, carrageenan and vanillin in chocolate milk are really negligible and that the benefits of the milk would outweigh the ill effects of all the additives. What Prof. Ayoob does not tell us is that carrageenan has been linked to gastric ulcers and malignancies in over 45 well conducted, peer reviewed and published animal studies and that the European Union explicitly limits its use because of health concerns in humans. Vanillin is artificial flavoring made from wood pulp. This is what we are putting into our children!

We have been in contact with 17 school districts around the country that have already successfully banned chocolate milk. Of the 17 districts surveyed, 15 have reported either no change or increased consumption of white milk since chocolate milk ban went into effect. Only two districts have noted slight decrease in overall consumption but are optimistic that with time and education, their numbers will normalize or even surpass their pre ban consumption.

In conclusion, while Ayoob makes a passionate case for the continued presence of chocolate milk in the SMMUSD, many professionals and parents such as myself are not naïve to the realities of health and nutrition. We know that banning chocolate milk will not single-handedly cure obesity and eliminate all chronic disease. We know that our self-imposed health problems can only be cured by a combination of healthy diet, exercise and education but feel very strongly that the banning of chocolate milk is the first step in the process of revamping our entire school nutrition delivery program. We have already banned sodas in California schools — now is the time to steadily eliminate all excess sugar sources from our diet. It is also important for our readers to know that Prof. Ayoob is a paid consultant for the dairy industry and has been sponsored by General Mills — the makers of Lucky Charms, Count Chocula and Trix sugary cereals. As such, he might have some conflicts of interest that he failed to previously disclose. I, on the other hand, have no disclosures at all.

Are the packing boxes back?

THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE FORMER

CITY HALL TO TAKE OVER LINCOLN

Paper Mate site is again before the City Council for a public hearing Tuesday night.

Flash back to March 22 ... Texas megadeveloper Hines presents a "four years in the works" proposal for redevelopment of the former 7.16 acre manufacturing site bounded by 26th Street, Olympic Boulevard and Stewart Street. Hines calls it Bergamot Transit Village Center because it's directly across Olympic from a proposed Expo Light Rail stop.

Their presentation didn't go well. The 960,000-square-foot project designed by Gensler was universally panned and ridiculed. The five buildings proposed were described as "packing boxes the (adjacent) Water Garden came in." Hines was ordered back to the drawing board after council members suggested the proposal needed a lot of work.

Flash forward five months ... Hines is returning to council having eliminated 190,000 square feet of floor space. Bergamot Transit Village redux is now 20 percent smaller — coming in at 766,000 square feet.

This redux is a substantial improvement over the original proposal, visually. It sure isn't "mind blowing" or even very exciting. And, some buildings look like a "low-income" housing project.

Hines again proposes creative arts office space, ground floor commercial space, subterranean parking and a mixture of affordable, market rate and workforce housing to occupy up to 40 percent of the project's total floor space.

The usual amenities — plenty of open space, bicycle right-of-ways and pedestrian connections to and into the site — are offered. The tallest structures are a little shorter than originally planned, now 81 feet high or "six floors" according to the developer.

In addition to an extension of Nebraska Avenue, Hines proposes two, new, full-service, north/south streets from Olympic Boulevard onto the property. These two streets, with signalized intersections, will seriously increase traffic congestion on Olympic and need to be rethought. In fact, the whole project still promises unacceptable new highs in gridlock generating potential.

With a half dozen major developments proposed or under construction in the immediate area east of 26th Street, traffic is still the elephant in the refrigerator. The incoming Expo Light Rail won't relieve even current levels of traffic, let alone the additional congestion all this and other new developments will add.

City Hall’s “one project at a time” urban planning mindset with visions of spiffy greenery, plazas and bicycle amenities continues to ignore major problems. In the meantime planners and their hired traffic guru Jeffrey Tumlin promise “no net new afternoon rush hour trips” as if they know what they're talking about.

City Hall wants to own Lincoln Boulevard from the I-10 Freeway to the city limits. City Hall is asking Caltrans to relinquish its authority and transfer ownership to the City of Santa Monica for local control and operation. Lincoln is currently a “state highway.”

Although staff ’s report highlight road repair and improvements promised with City Hall’s takeover, there are other plans in the works that may not sit well with Lincoln businesses and nearby residents.

For example, City Council has already approved bus/bike only lanes on Lincoln for morning and afternoon rush hours. This also means elimination of curbside parking during rush hours in addition to restrictions on vehicles permitted to use these outside lanes.

Additional traffic calming measures such as traffic islands, mid-street planters, additional crosswalks and likely additional traffic signals will be part of the mix.

It's guaranteed that these "improvements" will further congest traffic on Lincoln and cause frustrated motorists to seek shortcuts and alternate routes by diverting into the bordering residential areas of Sunset Park and Ocean Park.

You've been warned.

APPLE OF THEIR EYE

The Santa Monica Planning Commission did something unusual Wednesday night.

They approved a significant Third Street Promenade redevelopment project without any public comment or discussion.

The proposed project is an 8,000-squarefoot, single-floor, retail store that features a dramatic front facade and vaulted ceiling/roof made entirely of glass. It will replace a building that formerly housed Borders Books and Music.

This appears to be the most exciting piece of architecture proposed here in the last 30 years. It is nothing short of breathtaking.

However, I think there were issues overlooked in the commission’s rush to judgment.

There was no public discussion because the project had been placed on the consent calendar. Then, approval came so quickly that Commissioner Ted Winterer, who arrived late, missed the vote.

The four commissioners who voted did so without discussion (relying on the staff report) and without knowing who the architect was or even who it was being built for. It was all a “big secret” even though it was rumored to be Apple Inc. because renderings submitted looked almost identical to Apple’s flagship store in New York City.

Developers take note: The lesson here is come up with a stunning and non-invasive project and it will be embraced and approved faster than you can shout “Yes!” BILL can be reached at mr.bilbau@gmail.com.

whose blazing autumn hues illuminate many eastern U.S. landscapes, may so on be getting a makeover to curb its voracious appetite for other plants' land, sunlight and soil nutrients.

After almost a decade of work, a University of Connecticut scientist and his research team have pinpointed the genetic combination to grow a seedless, non-invasive version of burning bush without sacrificing its stunning fall colors and durability.

In short, they've neutered the incorrigible plant to make it behave.

Horticulture experts say the newly published findings by Dr. Yi Li and others at the New England Invasive Plant Center in Storrs could be a boon for landscapers and gardeners, who've pushed annual sales of burning bush — also known as winged Euonymus alatus — past $38 million nationwide.

Those sales figures come despite its listing as an invasive plant in 21 states, and outright sales bans in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. And since UConn will hold the patent with Li, the university also could receive significant royalties if the non-invasive burning bush is a big seller.

"It's a great use of science and a win for everybody if they can take a popular, invasive plant and render it sterile so it's still sellable," said Robert Heffernan, executive director of the Connecticut Green Industries Council. "People do love this plant and they ask for it. That brilliant red color in the autumn makes it look like it's absolutely on fire."

The durable and dense ornamental bush is a popular foundation planting or landscaping border because it thrives in many soils. It also stands up to varying weather, is unfazed by road salt and fertilizer, and is unpalatable to most insects and animals.

But there's a price to pay.

It produces thousands of seeds that easily waft away in the wind, or are carried away by rainwater and birds. Then, they take root in open woodlands and elsewhere. With its thickly matted roots and heights averaging 6 to 9 feet — and up to 15 feet if left unpruned — it makes such dense thickets that other plants have trouble competing for soil and sun.

Burning bush is native to eastern Asia and was introduced in the U.S. in the mid-1800s.

It's now most common in New England and many East Coast states, though it can

also be found as far south as Georgia and as far west as Illinois.

Many governments have stopped planting it on state-owned land since its invasive tendencies became evident in recent decades, but earlier plants thrive still along many highways and in open woods where they've taken root.

Li and other UConn scientists have been studying ways to produce sterile cultivars of burning bush since receiving a grant in 2003 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to start the research.

The work was tedious and painstaking: getting into thousands of the small seeds, removing bits of their tiny nourishing tissue, then treating it with special growth regulators and growing it in Petri dishes. Through trial and error, they finally hit on the right combination.

"It was difficult, but we were confident that it would work and we should not give up," said Li, whose research was published in this month's issue of the international academic journal HortScience.

They've used their findings to grow 12 small sterile burning bush plants so far, though there's no firm estimate on when the research will be used to bring the new cultivar to the widespread retail market.

Heffernan, of the Connecticut Green Industries Council, said the process usually takes a few years.

Many landscapers have skipped burning bush and started using alternatives such as red chokeberry, native winterberry, silky dogwood or native highbush blueberry. And although Massachusetts and New Hampshire ban people from selling or importing the burning bush plant entirely, landowners there are not required to tear out plants already in place.

Until there's a guaranteed sterile version, though, that's exactly what some people are doing.

At the Chicago Botanic Gardens, workers have been removing burning bush plants over the last several years and replacing them with non-invasive plants as the budget has allowed.

Kayri Havens-Young, the gardens' director of plant conservation science, said she was familiar with Li's work at UConn and is excited about its potential as long as the new variety is truly seedless. Just reducing the number of seeds would not be adequate because burning bush's spread is so prolific.

"They're beautiful plants, but they don't stay where you plant them. Unfortunately, they're just not very well-behaved," she said.

FINDING A NEW DENTIST IS TOUGH!!!

WATERSHED MOMENT: A new bill, passed by the House of Representatives and awaiting vote in the Senate, aims to strip the EPA of its authority over individual states' water quality. Pictured: The Cuyahoga River on fire in 1952. When it happened again in 1969 it helped kick start the modern environmental movement including the establishment of the Clean Water Act and the founding of the EPA.

Wrangling over water Dear EarthTalk: The U.S. House of Representatives recently voted to strip the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of its authority over state water quality. Why did they do this, what are the ramifications and what do leading green groups have to say about it?

The legislation in question, the Clean Water Cooperative Federalism Act of 2011 (H.R. 2018), passed the House of Representatives this past July with strong support from Republicans and will likely be voted on by the Senate in the fall. It aims to amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA) in order to give authority over water quality standards back to the states.

The bill's backers — including most House Republicans and lobbyists for the mountaintop coal mining industry and factory animal farms — claim it will bring jobs to Appalachia and other distressed regions of the country where they say economic growth has been crippled by stringent environmental regulations. The bill would prevent the EPA from overruling decisions made by state regulatory agencies.

“By second-guessing and inserting itself into the states'… standards and permitting decisions, EPA has upset the longstanding balance between federal and state partners in regulating the nation's waters, and undermined the system of cooperative federalism established under the CWA in which the primary responsibilities for water pollution control are allocated to the states,” says GOP.gov, the website of the Republican majority in Congress. “EPA's actions have created an atmosphere of regulatory uncertainty for the regulated community, and have had a chilling effect on the nation's economy and job creation.”

But those opposed to the bill, including the White House and many Congressional Democrats, say that its provisions would undermine stringent federal water quality protections some four decades in the making.

“H.R. 2018 could limit efforts to safeguard communities by removing the Federal Government's authority to take action when State water quality standards are not protective of public health,” said the White House after the bill passed in the House by a count of 239-184.

Such changes, they added, could adversely impact public health and the environment through increased pollution and degradation of water bodies that provide drinking water, recreation and tourism opportunities, and habitat for fish and wildlife.

For their part, environmental groups couldn't agree more. “Make no mistake: This bill would take the environmental cop off the beat and put at risk drinking water for millions of people, the habitat for scores of wildlife, and the jobs and economic growth that depends on a safer, cleaner environment,” said Larry Schweiger of the non-profit National Wildlife Federation, adding that, if enacted, the bill would take us “back to a time when rivers caught fire because of rampant pollution.”

Environmentalists are optimistic that backers won't have enough Senate votes to pass the bill. Meanwhile, President Obama has pledged to veto any such legislation that does make its way across his desk. But political winds shift quickly inside the Beltway, and only time will tell if the bill will gain enough support to withstand a veto. The quality of the nation's water supply hangs in the balance.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Blackburn to travel around the world from Venezuela to Canada to Israel where Blackburn won several gold medals in the World Maccabiah Games. The Jewish athletic event is held every four years and is much like the Olympics.

As a player, Dave Blackburn has pitched nearly 1,800 games over the last 33 consecutive summers, and has pitched in 10 International Maccabiah Tournaments.

Blackburn’s contributions to softball move just beyond those of a player.

Blackburn was a pioneer in live streaming ISC tournaments on the Internet, starting with the championship game in 2005.

His recent induction and his two previous inductions into the Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame and in the Israel Softball Hall of Fame in 2009, as the first American athlete, are due in part to his contributions toward creating a thriving international softball community.

Appropriately, his induction was streamed live and surrounded by friends and family Dave Blackburn took the podium for his speech.

Starring at the sky, he said, Dave Blackburn thought of his mother Charlotte who had died at age 78 while he was in the coma last summer.

He had missed her funeral and the chance, he said, to say goodbye.

“I told [my mother] in my speech that all her worries that softball didn’t pay the bills were for nothing because today I feel like the richest guy in the world,” he said.

Where necessary for work zones, left-turns may be prohibited from/to Colorado Avenue. Camera inspection work on sewer mains will occur after-hours from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Night work will occur at the following intersections: Colorado Avenue and Fifth Street, Sixth Street and Lincoln Boulevard. Parking Meters on Colorado Avenue will be taken out of service only when work is ongoing in a specific area. Signs will be posted at least 24 hours in advance of temporary parking restrictions. Detour Information: Use alternate east-west routes such as Broadway, Santa Monica Boulevard, Olympic Boulevard, or Arizona Avenue to avoid traffic backups on Colorado. For questions regarding this project contact Expo Light Rail Line Community Relations at (213) 922EXPO or www.BuildExpo.org.

Alley Resurfacing Project The alley in the 3000 block of Colorado Place South will be resurfaced. Please be advised that resurfacing operations will generate noise and dust. There will be certain times when the alley will not be accessible during construction, but city workers will minimize these times of closure during the day.

Borderline Neighborhood Improvement Project New water main installation, new various street pavement finishes, new landscaped areas, trees, and pedestrian lighting. Street lights will be installed along Longfellow and near Longfellow on Marine, Navy and Ozone. Please observe posted detour signs.

Street & Park Lighting Project The work consists of modifying existing high-voltage series streetlight circuits to lowvoltage multiple circuits on 26th Street from Montana Avenue to San Vicente Boulevard.

Partial roadway closures or detours are expected but impact to traffic should be minimal.

Transit Priority Systems Project

“I was taking a calculated risk, but I wasn’t going to miss [the induction ceremony] unless it was for my funeral,” Blackburn said.

In the same fashion as he stared down the grim reaper he staunchly told the doctors that he had family and friends and a hall of fame waiting for him. Blackburn signed a medical waiver on the condition that he return early to Los Angeles after the Aug. 14 ceremony.

Blackburn was operated on last Tuesday and the fate of his leg is still undetermined.

Blackburn attributes his strength as well as his love for softball to his father, softball legend Ernie Blackburn, who to a young Blackburn was “larger than life.”

“As far back as I can remember I remember weekends piling into the car with my brothers, mother and father for my father’s softball games,” Blackburn said.

Dave Blackburn, who in his career pitched 70 no hitters, just shy of his father’s 99, was inspired by his father’s success, but most of all he was awestruck by the opportunity that jumping into a car with his family allowed him. He was able to see all the Midwest and all of its elite softball players.

Blackburn left his hometown in Indiana and attended the University of Illinois in Champagne and in 1982 first stepped foot in Southern California as a recruit for the ISC defending world champs.

His team won the championship again and Blackburn, who had come to love California, stayed.

However, softball allowed Dave

GONE: Marybell Moreno has decided to step down as head coach of Samohi’s softball team.

COACHES FROM PAGE 1 motion at her job coupled with her mother's condition made coaching somewhat of an afterthought.

"It's been an emotional roller coaster," she said of the touchy situation. "I wasn't sure I could survive another season. I figured it was the best thing for the program."

Moreno's departure from Samohi comes after a long relationship with the Vikings that stretches back to her playing days under Skaggs.

After graduating from Samohi in 1996 following a successful run on the field, Moreno returned six years ago as the junior varsity coach before taking over as the varsity skipper.

"I'll miss the girls," Moreno said of the team. "I'll miss Samo, but the job was hard to turn down."

Despite the bitter sweet taste of leaving, Moreno is proud of her time at Samohi — both as a student athlete and coach. She said the challenge of replacing a successful coaching staff was a struggle, but she was happy to continue the team's success that includes 10straight seasons as Ocean League champ.

“We will miss her and we’re proud to have her as a contributor to our softball success and history,” said Daniel Escalera, Samohi’s athletic director.

Moreno led the Vikings to a 10-0 record in league and yet another in a long line of consecutive playoff appearances.

"I wouldn't change it for anything," she said of her tenure. "I think we didn't do too bad with another league title."

Though Moreno doesn't have a replacement in mind, she does offer the next coach SEE COACHES PAGE 9

MARTINEZ HEADS FOR BUCKLEY

COACHES FROM PAGE 8 good luck in continuing the school's strong tradition in softball.

The best nugget of advice she received from Skaggs when taking over the helm was to play to win. That's easy enough to say, but for Moreno that tip resonated within her.With that in mind, she told her team before last season that the only thing they could do was "do us."

"Whatever that means to this new coach, I don't know," she said. "It's hard to tell your replacement what to do."

Finding a new coach may be complicated by the fact that the softball field on campus is slated to be razed this fall, sending the Vikings in search of a new home. Moreno believes the team will play at Memorial Park, the site of JV games. Despite being away from campus, she feels that having both teams at the same location could be a benefit, allowing both teams to practice together at times.

"I know that there has always been candidates interested in coaching [at Samohi]," she said. "Not having the field is not going to be relevant."

After three seasons leading the boys' volleyball team at St. Monica, Javy Martinez has decided, with a heavy heart, to leave the program.

The coach, who was also the director of technology and the computer science department chair at St. Monica, will leave to assume a similar position with Sherman Oak's Buckley School this fall.

Martinez leaves after leading the Mariners to a perfect 10-0 season in the Camino Real League and a playoff appearance last season.

"It was fun," he said of his time at St. Monica.

"But, I had to jump at this opportunity."

A benefit of the new job includes a shorter commute for Martinez. He lives just minutes away from his new school, a factor in the decision. Though the move is a step up professionally, Martinez won't coach at Buckley.

It's not without regret that Martinez leaves St. Monica.

He said that he would have enjoyed playing in a renovated gym, a project that should be completed by late November.

"I'm kind of sad," he said. "I wanted to see what the new gym looks like." daniela@smdp.com

ith a slumping economy, ensuing global conflicts and our own personal dilemmas, a few drinks come as a welcome respite for many. But before you have that extra glass of wine at dinner, make sure you are aware of some new laws and issues that may drastically affect your driving privileges. California has some of the toughest DUI laws in the country, and while no one plans to get arrested for DUI, here are 5 helpful tips to remember if you find yourself at the wrong end of a DUI checkpoint this year.

1)) Submitt To o FSTS: When arrested for DUI many people look for a quick and easy way out of it such as refusing to submit the officer's tests.

Well, truth be told, this doesn't really work.

Refusing to submit to field sobriety tests (FSTS) will almost always earn a year suspension from the DMV regardless what happens with your court case. Refusing to submit to FSTS might weaken the State's evidence against you, but is it worth risking an automatic one year suspension?

This includes submitting a breathalyzer test at the scene of the arrest (called a PAS test).A PAS test might not even be admissible in the criminal case, but if you are below a .08 it will save you a ton of hassle…and probably earn a get out of jail free card. Submit to testing and let a skilled lawyer take it from there. Even if the test results appear "bad," by hiring the right attorney there are many legal arguments and challenges that can be made to the manner in which the tests weand administered, your statements, and the results of the tests.

2)) Requestt A Hearing: if arrested for DUI you will receive a temporary driver's license that is good for 30 days before your license is suspended.

However, you have the right to request an administrative hearing with the DMV in order to challenge the suspension.This hearing might also yield valuable testimony from the arresting officers that could help you later on when fighting your case in court.Administrative hearings are conducted either in person or telephonically, are far less formal than a court proceeding, and have a lower evidentiary standard of proof required to sustain a suspension.

Administrative hearings must be requested within 10 days of arrest, so make sure to act fast if you are arrested.A trained experienced lawyer is also advantageous in order to help navigate through the complexities of the DMV.

3)) Know w Thee Penalties: In most Los Angeles County courtrooms a "standard" first time DUI conviction carries with it a $390 fine, 3 month alcohol program, 3 year probation, and mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device (a new 2010 law that L.A. County D.A.'s and C.A.'s are widely enforcing).Typically, prosecutors will not seek jail confinement on a 1st time conviction. In addition to the fines, the court will add on various penalty assessments and fees that could raise your final bill to upwards of $1,750. Depending on the circumstances of your case (under 21, high blood alcohol, refusal) the court could also order you to complete community service, caltrans work, attend AA meetings, and complete a MADD or hospital/morgue program.A first time DUI conviction is priorable, meaning it will be used to enhance punishment on any subsequent DUI in a 10 year period.A second time DUI begets similar punishment with heightened fines and a mandatory minimum of 96 hours (4 days) in jail. Of course, all of these penalties and punishments are subject to change based on varying circumstances, and it should be noted that there are additional restrictions that the DMV can enforce on top of all the court required punishments.

4)) Bee Politee & Courteous: No matter what crime you are arrested for, be it for DUI or some other offense, dealing with police officers in a calm, respectful, and appropriate manner is always the best approach and will reward you in the end.

Officers will note your behavior in their reports, and any belligerent outburst or tirade will likely be used against you as a sign of intoxication and could also earn you additional charges. Of course the opposite is also true meaning if you are calm and collected it could be used as a sign of nonimpairment. Even if you didn't do anything wrong always remember that you attract more bees with honey!

5)) Don'tt Drive!: The easiest tip of all...drink to your heart's content and enjoy the holidays, and when you're done take a cab, ride a bus, or call a friend...just don't drive!

SAN FRANCISCO A man wearing a shirt slamming the San Francisco 49ers was seriously wounded as gunfire erupted in the parking lot after the team's NFL preseason game, while another man sustained lesser injuries in an earlier shooting, police said.

The violence occurred after the 49ers' 173 victory Saturday night over the Oakland Raiders at Candlestick Park, police Sgt. Michael Andraychak said.

A 24-year-old man was treated at San Francisco General Hospital for life-threatening injuries, and a 20-year-old man was hospitalized with less serious wounds, Andraychack told The Associated Press.

Their names were not released.

The violence comes months after a San Francisco Giants fan was severely beaten by two men in Los Angeles Dodgers gear outside Dodger Stadium after the teams' season opener March 31. Two suspects have been charged in the case.

Police Sgt. Frank Harrell said that in Saturday's attack the 24-year-old man, who was wearing a T-shirt referring to the 49ers with an obscenity, was shot two to four times in the stomach, according to reports in the Oakland Tribune and the San Francisco Chronicle. He drove his truck to a gate and stumbled to security, Harrell said.

The other man was shot before that in the parking lot and had superficial face injuries, Harrell said.

"We are treating it as separate shootings, but we believe they are related," Harrell told reporters outside the stadium.

Harrell said police took a man in a Raiders jersey off a party bus before it left the stadium and were calling him a suspect.

The suspect and the two victims had all attended the game, Harrell told the newspapers.

The 49ers issued a statement acknowledging the shootings and the investigation, but offering no further details.

In violence during the game, the Oakland Tribune reported that a 26-year-old San Rafael man was assaulted and knocked unconscious in a men's restroom. Police said he was hospitalized and a suspect was arrested. There was no immediate indication that it was connected to the postgame shootings.

In the Giants fan attack in March, the two men accused in the beating, Louie Sanchez, 28, and Marvin Norwood, 30, have pleaded not guilty.

Bryan Stow, a Santa Cruz paramedic, suffered severe brain injuries and remains hospitalized.

Stow's doctor said this month that he has made "significant improvement" despite a series of ups and downs since his near-fatal attack. He said Stow is awake, breathing on his own, can move slightly and has been able to interact with his family.

The attack drew widespread attention and focusing the spotlight on security at Dodger Stadium, and the intense rivalry among Dodgers and Giants fans.

Sudoku 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 ★ (easiest) to ★★★★★ (hardest).

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY

SHEPARD

■ Berjuan Toys is already selling its Breast Milk Baby online ($70) and expects to have it in stores later this year. The doll works by the child-"mother" donning a halter top with flowers positioned as nipples, and when the baby comes into contact with the a flower, sensors mimic sucking sounds.

Although dolls that demonstrate toileting functions are already on the market, breastfeeding activists are more enthusiastic about this one, hopeful that girls' comfort with breastfeeding will result in decreased bottle-feeding later on. (Opponents have denounced the doll as forcing girls to "grow up" too soon and with choices too complicated for their age, which according to the manufacturer is as young as 3.)

■ Frances Ragusa, 75, was back in court in Brooklyn, N.Y., in June claiming child support she said was never paid by husband Philip Ragusa, 77, in their divorce settlement of 33 years ago. (The "children," of course, long ago became adults, but the $14,000 judgment has grown, with interest, to about $100,000.) Frances told the New York Post in July that she called Philip several months earlier to discuss the amount but that Philip merely began to cry. "Don't let this case go to trial," she recalled telling him. "(I)f you think I'm going to forget it, Phil, you're stuck on stupid."
