THE ON LOCK ISSUE

Keeping an eye out Residents warned to practice caution when parking cars, locking bikes

KLOSTERMAN

New St. Monica priest all about serving the people

Joselynne Boschen, a personal trainer and clothing designer who had five clients to see, the first at 6:30 a.m.

As she darted down the stairs of her apartment building to the garage, she noticed that she forgot her cell phone, and her house keys. Locked out of her apartment, she headed to her truck, where she kept a spare set of keys.

That’s when she noticed her truck was missing. She rushed to the Public Safety Facility to file a stolen vehicle report and then ran back to her apartment to grab her

beach cruiser and pedal to her next appointment, having missed three clients already.

But when she got home, her bike was missing too, as was the spare she kept for guests. Talk about bad luck.

“I was like, ‘This must be a joke,’” Boschen, 25, said when she saw her bikes missing.

It wasn’t. Boschen, who lives at Fourth Street and Montana Avenue, had become a victim of theft — twice in one day.

“It was frustrating,” Boschen said. “I live in what I thought was a good neighborhood, but I guess this shows that you can be a victim anywhere.”

With gas prices as high as they are, more Santa Monicans are choosing to leave their

cars parked in favor of using their bikes to get around town. While that is better for the environment and the pocketbook, it opens the door for thieves. Cars are left unattended longer and there are more bikes on the streets (some left unlocked), creating opportunities for crooks to strike.

There have been 132 reports of stolen vehicles as of July 31, down from the 196 stolen during the same period last year. Of those, 97 have been recovered, according to the Santa Monica Police Department.

When it comes to bicycles, the numbers are up. So far this year 146 bicycles have been stolen, a considerable jump from last year when there SEE THEFTS PAGE 10

WILMONT When Rev. Timothy Klosterman graduated from seminary school, the last place he expected to receive his first assignment was in the major league of Los Angeles Catholic churches.

But that’s where the Palmdale native ended up after he was ordained in May, placed by the L.A. Archdiocese at St. Monica where the new priest will spend the next four years serving one of the area’s oldest and largest Catholic churches.

“It’s like going from the minor league to the World Series,” Klosterman said. “This is a very well-known parish.”

He joined the church community in July, overseeing Sunday masses, preparing couples for marriage, visiting the schools and conducting funerals.

“I’m just humbled to be here of service,” the 30-year-old priest said.

The journey to St. Monica started in childhood when Klosterman, the devout catholic, would regularly attended religious services on Sunday.

Going to mass wasn’t forced on him by his parents, but was rather a spiritual activity that spoke to Klosterman, giving him joy, purpose and meaning in life.

When it came time to choose a college following graduation from Paraclete High School — a catholic institution in Lancaster — seminary school seemed a natural fit.

He went on to graduate from St. John

SM Renters unprepared, unconcerned about disaster

BY NORA SORENA CASEY Special to the Daily Press

DOWNTOWN In a city where approximately

official reports only once a year.

“It’s not just the working poor, we’re also seeing more middle class families coming to

two-thirds of residents are renters, many Santa Monicans are uninsured in cases of fire, water damage, or theft in their homes.

A survey of 1,000 renters nationwide, released on Aug. 12 and conducted by the Opinion Research Corp. for Allstate, showed that area renters are less likely to carry renters insurance than those in other states.

The survey reported that while the national response found 40 percent of renters had insurance, 35 percent of Californians and only 27 percent of Los Angeles-area renters are covered.

Renter’s insurance will cover fire, water damage and stolen property, which is not insured by landlords. Different coverage can also account for off-property theft, tenant liabilities, and earthquake damage.

Mike Sutton, president of M.D. Sutton Insurance, estimates that 20 percent or less of Santa Monica renters have insurance. He estimates that approximately half of renters are aware of insurance, but may choose not to purchase it, while the other 50 percent are uninformed.

“I think insurance agents may make people aware of it,” said Sutton. “But they tend to put it on the back-burner and don’t follow through.”

The Allstate survey found that 42 percent of renters don’t have insurance because they haven’t made the time to look into it, and 30 percent believe they do not have enough valuables to justify having insurance.

“I’ve only lived in Hollywood and Santa Monica and in both places — for as long as I’ve lived — I’ve never heard of anyone having renter’s insurance,” said Dawn Simone, a local renter who has never felt she needed insurance. “No one’s really clear on what it does.”

The low level of renters with insurance contrasts sharply with the number of property owners who are insured, which Sutton estimated at approximately 99 percent in Santa Monica. He attributes this to the investment level needed for a single-family

Some parents struggling with school shopping

BY JENNY SONG Associated Press Writer

CHICAGO Charles Lane-Bey combed through racks of blue jeans at a Salvation Army thrift store and held up a pair with potential to his 8-year-old son, Edward, who swung them over his shoulder with a smile.

Forty-seven cents for a sturdy pair with white and red stitching. Not bad if it’ll last all school year.

“A couple of years ago, I was able to buy everything practically new,” said Lane-Bey, a U.S. Postal Service worker who’s struggling to make ends meet. “You just have to do some things different to adjust.”

With cash tight and fuel and food prices high, many parents are eyeing back-toschool lists warily, looking for bargains and buying used clothes. In some cases, they’re even thinking about sending their children to school without all the supplies they need.

Thrift stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army say more parents and teachers are shopping at their stores nationwide, quickly snatching up school uniforms and supplies.

Goodwill sales nationwide were up 6.2 percent for the first six months of 2008 com-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Bill Bauer

No amnesty for law breakers Editor:

In 1986, we granted amnesty to 2.7 million illegal aliens who were within our borders. This was supposed to solve our illegal immigration problem. Predictably, it only made the problem worse. Today, we probably have at least 20 million illegals in our country. And it will get much worse if we grant them amnesty. Visit thenewamerican.com for details.

The only solution is to demand that our federal government enforces our immigration laws. It certainly is not doing that. We have troops all over the world protecting other nations. Let’s bring some of them home and beef up the security of our own borders.

Next we must enforce laws pertaining to document fraud and the hiring of illegals. Hence, many illegals will leave our country because no one will hire them. Also, we must cancel granting automatic citizenship to infants born to illegals, a violation of our Fourteenth Amendment. We then can begin deporting the remaining illegals as President Eisenhower did in 1954.

What we must not do is to reward illegals with amnesty for breaking our laws. We can be sure that is what our sneaky Congress is planing to do after this year’s election. Let’s not let it happen!

Olympic outrage Editor:

I was mesmerized at the militaristic precision with which the Opening Ceremonies for the Olympic Games were conducted. It gave me pause to conjecture that such military precision could only be achieved in a totalitarian state like the Peoples Republic of China. It brought back memories of Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution in which 65 million people perished, an event which induced the fear to perform precisely today in the minds of the performers. Not well-known is that the first American to die at the hands of Mao’s thugs was Capt. John Birch, an intelligence analyst for General Claire Chennault’s Flying Tigers.

The Chinese regime is still officially communist, even though the totalitarian “ism” called communism has been responsible for the deaths of over 100 million innocent human beings during the last century.

It is hard to imagine that the 1972 Munich Olympic Games would have been held there if Germany had still glorified Hitler in 1972. Yet the 2008 games are being held in China despite its continued glorification of Mao. The president of the United States will, by his presence and his silence, extend the hand of friendship and legitimacy to the Chinese communists at the Beijing Olympic Games. I think that Americans should be outraged.

Cabal rules the roost THE

CONTROVERSY

OVER

SCHOOL

board incumbent Jose Escarce’s behindclosed-doors endorsement by the secretive Santa Monicans for Renters’ Rights (SMRR) Steering Committee has raised questions such as, “Who are they?”

It’s the cabal that dictates the philosophy and priorities for the most powerful political organization in Santa Monica. When SMRR speaks, thousands of voters salute and mark their ballots, accordingly.

SMRR’s Web site (www.smrr.org) spells it out clearly: “1979-2000 … Seventeen members elected to Santa Monica’s City Council.

Many serve multiple terms. From its inception in 1979, SMRR candidates win every seat on Santa Monica’s Rent Control Board and 11 of Santa Monica’s past 12 mayors are SMRR members.”

Today, virtually every seat on the Board of Education, Santa Monica College Board of Trustees, Rent Control Board and four out of seven City Council seats represent SMRR interests. SMRR also influences governance by appointing supporters and cronies to city and school posts, commissions and committees.

Surprisingly, SMRR isn’t run by renters, many of committee members are condo or homeowners. Most have served on the Steering Committee for years, even decades.

Their strength is that everybody has the same mind set, and they vigorously support each other’s agendas.

The committee is united in its priorities for the community, which include protecting rent control, build and expand affordable (rental) housing and support sustainable development (including reducing motor vehicle travel), education, workers rights/social justice/living wage, housing and services for the homeless and local historical preservation.

Current SMRR Co-Chairs are Patricia Hoffman and Gleam Davis. Hoffman is Chair of the Board at Community Corp. of Santa Monica (the city-affiliated public housing provider), former chair of the Santa Monica/Malibu Unified School District, current vice-chair of the Bayside District Corp. and former chair of the Santa Monica Democratic Club. She’s served on numerous school committees.

Gleam Davis is a corporate attorney for AT&T. Her background includes serving as chair of the SMMUSD District Advisory Committee on Child Care and Development and Parcel Tax Committee. She’s a Community for Excellent Public Schools (CEPS) Steering Committee member. Davis ran for City Council in 2006 and lost despite SMRR’s endorsement. She’s currently on the Planning Commission.

Secretary Linda Sullivan is a long time SMMR activist. Her husband, Robert Myers, was the former city attorney. A former city employee herself, Sullivan is an attorney and a consultant on venue and property management and is being paid $90,000, plus expenses for work on SMC’s new Broad Stage (formerly Madison Theater) and other programs.

SMRR’s treasurer is Roger Thornton, a veteran SMRR activist who has been treasurer for numerous political campaigns and ballot measures over the years.

Denny Zane is one of SMRR’s founders and was a long time co-chair of the group.

Zane is a political consultant. He’s managed

campaigns for Julia Brownley for state Assembly (2006) as well as numerous school and college bond and tax measures. Zane is currently on retainer at SMC and is running the campaign for Proposition AA, SMC’s $295-million bond proposal on the fall ballot.

He’s a former city councilman (19811992) and mayor (1988-1990). He’s executive director of the Subway to the Sea Coalition, Move L.A., and the Los Angeles County Transportation Funding Collaborative and is promoting a proposed half-cent county-wide sales tax increase for transit. He was also a CEPS founder and steering committee member.

IT’S THE CABAL THAT DICTATES THE PHILOSOPHY AND PRIORITIES FOR THE MOST POWERFUL POLITICAL ORGANIZATION IN SANTA MONICA. Judy Abdo, also a veteran SMRR leader, was on the council (1988-1996) and served twice as mayor (1990-1991, 1992-1994). She is currently on the Metropolitan Water District’s Board of Directors Executive Committee. She is employed as the director of Child Development Services for the school district and is a member of CEPS among other activities, according to MWD’s Web site.

Ana G. Hara is active with the Pico Neighborhood Association Board of Directors. She works with the Pico Neighborhood branch of Young Life, a nondenominational Christian youth services organization.

Bruce Cameron is also a long-time steering committee member and pollster. He’s a key SMRR strategist and behind the scenes player with interests in planning and historic preservation issues.

Genise Schnitman is a local activist and girlfriend of Councilman Kevin McKeown.

She’s a writer and an editor specializing in art and music.

Richard Tahvildaran Jesswein is a political science professor at SMC and president of the Academic Senate. He’s been active in CEPS and on February’s “Yes on R” school parcel tax renewal committee.

Todd Flora is manager of Corporate Citizenship & Corporate Affairs at IBM Corp. Flora is a board member of the Bayside District Corp. and Heal the Bay. Bruria Finkel is an artist and patron of the arts. She served on the Rent Control Board. Her husband, David Finkle, was on the City Council (1986-1990) and he is currently an SMC trustee.

Behind the scenes power brokers include former long-time SMRR Co-Chair Nancy Greenstein, now an SMC trustee, SMRR organizer Michel Tarbet and a host of local politicians.

The revolution that changed us forever

Keeping it local While Santa Monica features a number of attractions that consistently draw visitors from outside the city, there are some that believe they attract trouble. A gang-related shooting on Thursday appears to have occurred just as the Twilight Dance Series concert was letting out at the pier confirming some of those fears.

So this week’s Q-Line question asks: Would you rather have the city become an isolated, sleepy beach town that would lack many of the superb services we covet, or continue with high-profile events and attractions that bring prosperity to the area?

Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your answers in the weekend edition of the Daily Press. Please limit responses to a minute or less.

the Beatles came along. With the prominence they accorded women in their songs and the way they spoke to millions of teenaged girls about new possibilities, the Beatles eventually helped feminize the culture and led to the empowerment of young women.

The implications of the Beatles’ relatively androgynous appearance had a far more profound effect on sexual liberation than anyone could have guessed at the time. As Steven Stark points out in his book “Meet The Beatles,” they also “challenged the definition that existed during their time of what it meant to be a man.”

The Beatles converged with their era — the ‘60s generation — in an almost unprecedented way. At no other time in history, or since, has a generation been so connected.

The vehicle was rock music. And the Beatles helped create an aural culture.

The religious allure of the Beatles was another vital factor in allowing the group to endure. John Lennon was onto something in 1966 when he compared the group’s popularity with that of Jesus Christ. Multitudes flocked to them and even brought sick children to see if the Beatles could somehow heal them.

Unlike artists before them, the Beatles had power over millions of people worldwide. In 1967, for example, with the release of their “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band” album, as one critic noted, it was the closest Europe had been to unification since the Congress of Vienna in 1815.

Some have even argued that the Beatles’ influence helped bring down the Iron Curtain.

Checkpoint Charlie, the former crossing point for foreigners and Allied troops at the Berlin Wall, now serves as a reminder of the Beatles’ colossal impact.

The Beatles still impact us because they effected a revolution of spirit and mind. As “Revolution” stresses, it was not a movement about physically overthrowing a regime. It was a spiritual revolution, one aimed at overthrowing preconceived notions. Thus, before you can effect a lasting change, as John Lennon sings, you have to “free your mind.”

FOLLOWING THE ASSASSINATION OF

Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy in 1968, the optimism of the Summer of Love quickly evaporated and young people revolted worldwide. In the U.S., the cataclysm came as 10,000 demonstrators descended on the Democratic Party’s national convention in August. Police reacted by beating not only rock-throwing demonstrators but passersby, journalists and volunteers.

Violence and revolt were now in vogue.

The Beatles, the most influential pop voice of the time, responded to this shift towards violence with “Revolution,” the first Beatles song with an explicitly political statement. As John Lennon sings in his masterpiece on the need for nonviolent change, “When you talk about destruction, don’t you know that you can count me out?”

The underground press — which at the time included such newspapers as the Village Voice — immediately criticized the song and Lennon for not urging outright rebellion against authority. Lennon was quick to point out that if they really wanted a revolution, it had to begin with changing the way people think.

Clearly, the Left had missed the point: violence begets violence. Lennon’s missive in “Revolution” thus sums up the Beatles’ message — peace, love and understanding — that permeated their brief seven-year career.

And it helped create one of the few lasting revolutions in history.

The Beatles “presided over an epochal shift comparable in scale to that bridging Classical Antiquity and the Middle Ages,” writes professor Henry Sullivan, “or the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.” Indeed, they played a central role in catalyzing a transition from the Modern to the post-Modern Age and unknowingly set in motion forces that made an entire era what it was and, by extension, is today.

Beatlemania hit the United States with full force on Feb. 9, 1964, by way of television on the Ed Sullivan Show. For a short while, as some 72 million Americans got their first glimpse of the Beatles, with their mop-top haircuts and original music, the streets emptied and crime stopped.

A cultural revolution was obviously at hand.

Elvis Presley may have been revolutionary, but there was no gender revolution until

Research aims to put tongues in control of high-tech devices

BY GREG BLUESTEIN Associated Press Writer

ATLANTA The tireless tongue already controls taste and speech, helps kiss and swallow and fights germs. Now scientists hope to add one more ability to the mouthy muscle, and turn it into a computer control pad.

Georgia Tech researchers believe a magnetic, tongue-powered system could transform a disabled person’s mouth into a virtual computer, teeth into a keyboard — and tongue into the key that manipulates it all.

“You could have full control over your environment by just being able to move your tongue,” said Maysam Ghovanloo, a Georgia Tech assistant professor who leads the team’s research.

The group’s Tongue Drive System turns the tongue into a joystick of sorts, allowing the disabled to manipulate wheelchairs, manage home appliances and control computers. The work still has a ways to go — one potential user called the design “grotesque” — but early tests are encouraging.

The system is far from the first that seeks a new way to control electronics through facial movements. But disabled advocates have particularly high hopes that the tongue could prove the most effective.

“This could give you an almost infinite number of switches and options for communication,” said Mike Jones, a vice president of research and technology at the Shepherd Center, an Atlanta rehabilitation hospital. “It’s easy, and somebody could learn an entirely different language.”

That’s quite a contrast to the handful of methods already available to the hundreds of thousands of Americans who are disabled from the neck down.

The “sip and puff ” technique, which lets people issue commands by inhaling and exhaling into a tube, is among the most popular. But it offers users only four different commands, limiting their options.

Control systems that use sophisticated pads to measure neck and head movements are also widespread, but using the hardware can be tiring, and frustrating on smaller electronics like computers.

And while newer innovations that track eye movement are promising, they can be costly, slow and susceptible to mixed signals.

The tongue, though, is a more flexible, sensitive and tireless option. And like other facial muscles, its functions tend to be spared in accidents that can paralyze most of the rest of the body, because the tongue is attached to the brain, not the spinal cord.

The tongue’s promise has long enticed scientists. In the 1960s, research work focused on turning the tongue into a primitive lens by attaching electrodes to the tissue.

More recent studies have connected a cam-

era that activates tongue electrodes in the shape of an object, helping blind people sense images.

A Palo Alto, Calif.-based company, newAbilities Systems Inc., has already designed a nine-button keypad placed on the roof of the mouth to control electronics.

Ghovanloo’s work, however, centers on creating a virtual keyboard instead of a physical one. He does that through a magnet about 3 millimeters wide that’s placed under the tip of the tongue.

The magnet’s movement is tracked by sensors on the side of each cheek, which sends data to a receiver atop a rather bulky set of headgear. It is then processed by software that converts the movement into commands for a wheelchair or other electronics.

After turning the system on, users are asked to establish six commands: Left, right, forward, backward, single-click and doubleclick. A graduate student who tested the technology was cruising the lab at will in a wheelchair, tongue firmly in cheek.

It’s an impressive display, and Ghovanloo said he hopes he could one day add dozens more commands that turn teeth into keyboards and cheeks into computer consoles.

For example, “Left-up could be turning lights on, right-down could be turning off the TV,” Ghovanloo said.

Early tests involving Georgia Tech students are encouraging, and the team’s work has already attracted a $120,000 grant from the National Science Foundation and $150,000 from the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.

But plenty of challenges await.

Researchers must pare down the bulky headgear, which looks like a prop from a 1980s movie, into a dental retainer. The team also must improve the software, tinker with the size of the magnet and boost the wireless battery’s charge.

Above all, they must find a way to keep costs in between the “sip and puff ” systems, which can cost hundreds of dollars, to more sophisticated eye-tracking systems, which cost thousands.

Still, the research encourages Justin Cochran, a 26-year-old college student who watched a recent test.

The design certainly needs improvements. “It’s in its infancy and quite grotesque,” he said. But Cochran said its potential for almost limitless control options makes him want to shelve his “sip and puff ” wheelchair.

“You could control not just your chair, your TV, your computer, but your entire life,” he said. “And it’s all one system.”

Obama aims convention at blue-collar voters

BY DAVID ESPO AP Special Correspondent

DENVER On the eve of the Democratic National Convention, Barack Obama said Sunday he hoped a week of political speechmaking would persuade reluctant middleclass voters to swing behind his bid for the White House, while Republicans sought to stir discontent among Hillary Rodham Clinton’s supporters.

Clinton was having none of it. Obama’s rival in a bruising battle for the nomination was expected to release her delegates at midweek in a unity gesture.

Obama, bidding to become the first black president, campaigned through swing-state Wisconsin, then flew home to Chicago to work on the acceptance speech he will deliver before 75,000 partisans on the convention’s closing night.

Previewing the week ahead, he said he hoped convention viewers would conclude, “He’s sort of like us. He comes from a middle-class background, went to school on scholarships.

He and his wife had to figure out child care and how to start a college fund for their kids.’”

Clinton outpolled Obama among working-class voters in many states through the winter and spring, and Sen. John McCain and the Republicans have worked relentlessly in more recent weeks to depict the Illinois senator as an elitist who is out of touch with blue-collar concerns.

With Democrats descending on their highly fortified convention city, party officials worked energetically to assure a harmonious week.

Thousands of blue signs that read simply “Unity” were stockpiled inside the Pepsi Center for distribution to convention delegates at whatever moment Obama’s high command deemed appropriate.

And on a unanimous vote, the party’s credentials committee restored full voting rights to delegations from Florida and Michigan. Both states were stripped of their voting rights earlier in the year in retaliation for holding primaries before party rules allowed.

“The only way we will be successful is if we are unified as a party and all Democrats know we are full partners,” said Chris Edley Jr., a member of the panel.

If Democratic unity was uppermost in the minds of Obama’s aides, McCain had other ideas.

HE’S GOT THE PASSION TO LIFT UP MIDDLE-CLASS AMERICANS, HE HASN’T FORGOTTEN HIS WORKING-CLASS ROOTS, HE HAS THE EXPERTISE THAT WILL MAKE HIM A GREAT COUNSELOR ON INTERNATIONAL CRISES THAT MIGHT COME UP.” Barack Obama Presidential Candidate

ied a television commercial — there was no evidence it had been broadcast — suggesting Obama had snubbed Clinton when he picked Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden as his vice presidential running mate.

“She won millions of votes but isn’t on the ticket. Why? For speaking the truth,” says the ad, which also shows Clinton criticizing Obama during their protracted battle for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The former first lady has praised Biden’s selection. In response to the ad, spokeswoman Kathleen Strand noted that Clinton “has said repeatedly that Barack Obama and she share a commitment to changing the direction of the country, getting us out of Iraq and expanding access to health care. John McCain doesn’t. It’s interesting how those remarks didn’t make it into his ad.”

The first arrests of the convention week were reported when about 1,000 anti-war demonstrators marched through downtown under the watchful eye of police in riot-control gear. Officials did not immediately provide details on the number of those taken into custody.

Inside the Pepsi Center, where the convention’s opening gavel falls on Monday, the floor seating was rearranged to reflect a new political order. Delaware’s delegates were granted a spot closer to the front, an upgrade resulting from Biden’s selection as Obama’s vice presidential running mate.

With McCain trying to use Clinton to divide the Democrats, Obama strongly defended his vice presidential choice, a selection that seemed designed to fill a gap in his own foreign policy resume while appealing to blue-collar voters.

“He’s got the passion to lift up middle-class Americans,

expertise that will make him a great counselor on international crises that might come up,” Obama told reporters before boarding his plane in Eau Claire, Wis. The opening night convention program — featuring an appearance by Michelle Obama — was scripted to reach out to the same segment of the electorate. Officials said her remarks would present her husband — the son of a white mother from Kansas and a black father from Kenya who later left the family — as anything but elite.

Barack Obama’s half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, and Michelle Obama’s older brother, Craig Robinson, also will have roles in the convention.

Clinton’s address is the centerpiece of Tuesday’s session, and given her appeal during the primaries, her remarks could prove pivotal to Obama’s chances of success in the fall.

A recent NBC-Wall Street Journal poll made clear how much work Obama has yet to do to appeal to her voters.

The survey indicated that only half of those who voted for Clinton are now supporting Obama, while about 20 percent are backing McCain.

Mindful of that, Obama agreed to allow Clinton’s name to be placed in nomination on Wednesday night. The move may well reassure her supporters, but it risks at least the appearance of a divided party to viewers watching the proceedings at home on television.

Clinton’s spokesman, Philippe Reines, said her meeting with her delegates this week will be an opportunity to “thank them for their hard work and support, and most importantly to encourage them to support and work for Senator Obama as strongly as she has in order to elect him in November."

HELPING OUT: Some 17 states now offer homeowners tax rebates or incentives for the purchase and/or installation of solar power equipment, including rooftop solar collectors for home heating or hot water. The total cost of installation could be as low as $4,000.

Solar panels are a hot item Dear EarthTalk I am considering solar panels for my roof to provide heat for my hot water and possibly to do more than that.

Are there some kinds of solar panels that are better than others? How do I find a knowledgeable installer?

Elise, Watertown MA

What type of solar energy capture system you put on your home depends on your needs. If you want to go full tilt and generate usable electricity from your home’s rooftop—and even possibly contribute power back to the larger grid— tried and true photovoltaic arrays might be just the ticket. A typical installation involves the panels, which are constructed of many individual silicon-based photovoltaic cells and their support structures, along with an inverter, electrical conduit piping and AC/DC disconnect switches.

These systems can cost tens of thousands of dollars to install, and as such may not pencil out for those looking for the cheapest power solution. But the upside is that homeowners with photovoltaic panels on their rooftops can rest assured that as long as the sun shines, they will have power to spare without generating emissions of carbon dioxide and other noxious pollutants.

Qualified solar installers can usually advise clients on which specific types of systems will work best given the specific location of a home. U.S. homeowners can find qualified photovoltaic installers via the website FindSolar.com. And the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) provides a free searchable database of its U.S. and Canadian members specializing in home solar set-ups.

For less demanding applications, such as for heating water for your home or swimming pool, a much simpler

(and less expensive) solar thermal system might be all you need. A basic hot water system usually consists of a solar collector—basically a small metal box with a glass or plastic cover and a black copper or aluminum absorber plate inside—tied into the building’s plumbing and electrical works. According to the industry tracker website Solarbuzz, such solar collectors are usually mounted on rooftops.

Professional installers can get your home up and running with a solar thermal system for less than $4,000 in most cases. While the savings in your electric bill may be small, homeowners in it for the long haul will definitely save over time, all the while enjoying the fact that you have lowered your family’s carbon footprint significantly.

Homeowners looking to find out more about residential solar systems should be sure to check out the RealGoods Solar Living Sourcebook, a 600+ page renewable energy “bible” now in its 30th edition. The book features the latest nuts-and-bolts information on how to harvest renewable energy in a variety of ways depending on need. And RealGoods also sells much if not all of the equipment needed.

Another reason to consider going solar in one fashion or another is tax incentives. According to the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE), 17 states now offer homeowners some kind of tax rebate or incentive for the purchase and/or installation of solar power equipment of any kind. You can see what if any your state offers by logging onto the dsireusa.org website, where the searchable database is available in its entirety for free.

Homes evacuated as waters rise in wake of Fay

BY SARAH LARIMER Associated Press Writer

MIAMI The remnants of Tropical Storm Fay lingered Sunday, forcing residents in several parts of northern Florida to leave their homes as floodwaters rose.

Officials used boats to ferry people from homes in DeBary, 25 miles north of Orlando, where some streets were under four feet of water, and from several neighborhoods in and around Tallahassee.

“The water is very deep. It’s already at everybody’s door,” said Debra Galloway, who lives in the Timber Lake subdivi-

sion just east of Tallahassee. She was still at home Sunday evening but had no power and said if the rain continued she would join neighbors who had already left by boat.

About 70 homes in DeBary were under an evacuation order after ponds spilled over.

A handful of people were taken out by boat, while others were able to leave on their own, county emergency officials said.

Fay made landfall a record four times in Florida before it was downgraded to a tropical depression late Saturday. The storm caused plenty of flooding as it zigzagged across Florida for nearly a week.

Honda Civic still the hottest wheels to steal FROM THEFTS PAGE 1 were 87 reports filed from Jan. 1 to July 31, 2007.

Police are warning people to be more aware about where they park their cars and how they lock up their bicycles, calling on owners to take measures that will cut down on the likelihood of becoming victims.

Sgt. Renaldi Thruston, the SMPD’s public information officers, said the obvious safety measure is to ensure all doors are locked when leaving a car parked.

“Don’t keep a spare key hidden in or about the vehicle, possibly use a Club or consider installing an ignition kill switch,” Thruston suggested. “Installing an alarm that activates automatically upon locking your doors is also a good safety measure.”

Drivers can also go a step further and purchase the LoJack System, a mobile tracking device that is activated the moment a car is stolen, allowing police to track the path of the vehicle. Law enforcement tracks down the car and those who stole it.

While LoJack is not a deterrent (it is so small owners oftentimes don’t know where it is located), Thruston said it does help tremendously in finding cars and returning them to their owners.

Roughly 80 percent of vehicles stolen in Santa Monica are recovered, often by other agencies. Some are returned with minimal damage while others are completely stripped, forcing owners to sign the car over to the tow truck company that transported the vehicle after officers run the plates and discover it stolen. Owners are responsible for the cost of storing of the vehicle at the tow yard.

Boschen’s truck was recovered a few days after it was stolen, detectives telling her that several trucks like hers were targeted in Santa Monica, the crooks making keys to fit in similar ignitions. Boschen was grateful to get the truck back, which had several cigarette burns in the seats, but it doesn’t run the same. Plus, the feeling that a stranger was sitting in her driver’s seat doesn’t sit well with her.

“At this point, I’d rather have them take it because I don’t want to drive it anymore,” she said. “It feels weird, and it’s not operating the same. Besides, somebody could just come and take it again. The fact that they took it out of my garage, right down stairs, it’s unsettling.”

When anyone reports a vehicle stolen, the license plate number, make, model and color are entered into a database that all law enforcement agencies in the state have access to. Most cars are recovered when they are left abandoned or parked illegally. A parking attendant or officer will run the plates or the vehicle identification number and discover the car was reported stolen.

“Sometimes there are rings, where thieves will head out looking for particular cars for their parts or to ship them oversees, especially if they are expensive models, other times it is just for joyriding, some youths or anyone wanting to take it for a ride to the beach,” Thruston said.

According to the “Hot Wheels” report released in July by the National Insurance Crime Bureau, the most popular car to steal is the 1995 Honda Civic, followed by the 1991 Honda Accord, the 1989 Toyota Camry and the 1997 Ford F-150, a truck. The only other domestic brands on the list were also trucks — the 1994 Chevrolet C/K 1500 and the 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup.

Other perennial favorites among thieves include the Acura Integra and Nissan Sentra.

According to the bureau, thieves continue to target these older vehicles because they provide the best market for stolen vehicle parts.

The bureau encourages everyone to follow what it calls a “layered approach” to auto theft protection by employing simple, low-

cost suggestions to make vehicles less attractive to thieves. The four layers include common sense, a warning device, an immobilizing device, and a tracking device.

PEDAL POWER

When it comes to bikes, a tracking device probably isn’t practical for most riders given that the majority do not own expensive twowheelers. However, there are those who purchase custom bikes that can cost as much as $6,000 or more, making them a hot commodity for thieves looking to resell them or chop them up and sell the parts.

The SMPD receives roughly 30 stolen bikes each month and stores them in the property/evidence room until the owner comes to collect it, or they are auctioned off or donated to the Salvation Army after 90 days, said Johnny Tarasut, who manages the property room. SMPD typically makes anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 auctioning off property on a Web site, www.propertyroom.com.

The money goes into City Hall’s general fund.

A 21-year-veteran, Tarasut said he notices more bikes coming in during the summer months when people are active and like to be outdoors.

“We get all kinds of bikes, but mostly beach cruisers. Those are really popular,” Tarasut said. “We get mountains bikes, the hybrids, but we don’t see many of the street racers that require people to use special shoes and stuff.

Those folks usually take care of their bikes.”

Thruston recommends that all bike riders should register their two-wheelers with City Hall by filling out a form that requires the serial number, make and model of the bike as well as its frame and wheel size. The cost is $3 and it’s the law. The serial number is entered into a system that is accessible by law enforcement. When a stolen bike is recovered, officers enter in the serial number and are able to contact the owner. Those who are not registered have to routinely check in to see if their bike has been recovered.

“It’s also important to list anything that’s special on the bike, if you added something to it,” Tarasut said.

The most important thing is to record the serial number on the bike, which can be tricky for some people.

“We had one woman who could not find the serial number, so what she did was engrave her driver’s license number on the frame and we were able to locate it with that,” Tarasut said.

Renters willing to gamble FROM RENTERS PAGE 3 home is much greater, and to take out loans on a house fire insurance is required.

“Common sense dictates that you have it to protect that investment,” said Sutton. “If you had a one bedroom apartment and you were 30 years old … sometimes people aren’t so worried about that.”

Michaelyn Jones, the general counsel for the Santa Monica Rent Control Board, agrees that renter’s insurance is a matter of personal choice. The board answers renter and landowner questions, but as far as Jones knows, no one has ever inquired about purchasing renters’ insurance.

“It hasn’t come to us,” Jones said, “but this kind of question isn’t within the jurisdiction of the rent control board. I think it’s really a subjective question.”

As with most types of insurance, many get by without renters’ insurance, but when disaster strikes it can lead to problems. The Allstate survey found that 80 percent of Los Angeles renters have not done a home inventory check list or tried to estimate how much their possessions are worth.

“It’s not a problem unless they have a fire,” said Bob Sullivan, past president of the Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles.

“That’s when they usually find out they should have gotten it or were supposed to.”

Fire is the most serious problem that renter’s insurance can help, according to Sutton. He said that water damage is the second mostly costly, but theft is the most com-

mon. In Santa Monica the police noted 388 instances of home burglaries and robberies last year.

Michael Tarbet didn’t have renters insurance when his apartment was damaged by fire, but he doesn’t feel that it was much of a problem.

“We lost stuff, (the landlord) didn’t pay for the things we lost,” Tarbet said. “It didn’t bother us. We needed a new bed anyway.”

However, Westside Rentals Insurance agent Michael Ketchelidis believes that renters’ insurance is necessary.

“If your clothes are gone what would you do?” Ketchelidis said. “If you didn’t have coverage for it could you go out and replace all of your clothes right now? Even if you are underinsured, have something.”

Renters’ insurance is important for landlords as well as renters. Ketchelidis said that many big rental companies will require renters to have insurance before renting them apartments. When renters aren’t required to have insurance, he believes they are much more likely to skip it.

“I don’t have it, I haven’t looked it up,” said Santa Monica renter Sean Proctor. “I just haven’t had the time to look it up. Plus, I rent, it’s not like I got that much money.”

Both Proctor and Simone would consider insurance if they were in nicer apartments, but for the time being, like many renters across the city and nation, it is not one of their priorities. news@smdp.com

Parents forced to get creative FROM SCHOOL PAGE 3 us,” Temme said.

Linda Boykin, who recently was laid off from a customer service job at a health care company, bought a bag full of school uniforms and casual wear for her three children at a Chicago Salvation Army store. The cost for 15 items: $4.66.

“They can start school just like any other kids,” she said. “It’s just not new.”

Inventories of back-to-school items can be limited, and donations nationally are down as people hold onto items longer or try to sell them to consignment stores, store officials say.

“I’m trying to scrape up everything I can find,” said Sandra Cochrane, manager of a Salvation Army store in Chicago.

Market researchers are divided on the topic of school spending. America’s Research Group released a report in July saying almost 30 percent of parents will reduce spending for backto-school. NPD Group, another market research firm, says spending will increase slightly as sales in electronics hold steady.

“Parents would go naked before they would send their kids to school without the right tools to be able to get an education,” said Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst for NPD. But teachers still worry, especially in lowincome areas, where parents are already cutting back and can’t cut back much more. If kids come without supplies, many teachers will end up spending more out-of-pocket though their own finances are tighter.

In rural Carlinville, Ill., first grade teacher Jeanie Johnson said most of her students are low-income, so she’s cut back the supply list she’s sending to parents. Gone are extras like

markers and colored pencils.

Even so, she expects she’ll need to provide some items to students.

“You don’t want a child to feel embarrassed or left out,” she said. “That’s not a good way to start the school year.”

Lisa Smith, who teaches preschool at DePriest Elementary School in Chicago, spends several hundred dollars of her own money each year for classroom supplies. But with her own pocketbook hurting, her class will have to do without the fun extras this year.

“I drive a gas guzzler,” she said. “Gas alone is making me rethink a whole lot of things. It looks like we’ll have to do fewer projects, or just come up with another creative way to do them.”

Some parents are making hard choices, too.

Otha Henderson of Chicago says she simply can’t buy a graphing calculator, which can cost hundreds of dollars, for her 15year-old daughter.

“She said she can’t have a regular calculator. It has to have different functions on it,” said Henderson, who lives on a fixed income of disability checks and says rising living expenses have depleted her savings. “Well, I’m not going to get that.”

For Wanda Hopkins, her daughter’s backto-school list has become a matter of priorities, and she might not buy some mandatory items.

“You weigh it,” said Hopkins, whose daughter is entering fourth grade at Chicago’s Andrew Jackson Language Academy. “You make sure that the teacher understands what’s going on so they don’t penalize them.

“I know for a fact people like me are going to have a hard time."

Seminary in Camarillo, returning to earn his master’s in divinity and theology.

As part of the program, which required all students to pick up a second language, Klosterman spent a year traveling the world to immerse in Spanish, spending several months in Mexico and Peru, working in orphanages.

Upon his return, Klosterman contemplated a life of service to the catholic church, ultimately requesting the cardinal to accept his candidacy.

“I felt called,” the priest said. “My gifts and talents intersected with the needs of the community and I have been inspired by priests, clergy and sisters throughout my life.

“I’ve seen how they have been wonderful witnesses of god’s love and have made a wonderful difference in the world.”

Monsignor Craig Cox, the rector and president of St. John’s, praised Klosterman, saying that he would want the priest along his side if he was in parish ministry.

“He is a salt-of-the-earth-type of man, who has a wonderful heart and will love his people and serve them with enthusiasm and grace,” Cox said.

After his graduation from the seminary, Klosterman expected the Archdiocese would place him in a small parish, its coverage area spanning from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles counties.

“They could’ve placed me anywhere,” he said.

St. Monica was founded as a small parish

Keeping rides safe FROM THEFTS PAGE 10 Bike thefts are common because there are so many ways to crack a lock. Some have been known to use liquid nitrogen to make the lock brittle and then use a hammer to smash it. Others use curbs as leverage and pry open a lock attached to a parking meter.

Though it’s never safe to leave a bicycle unattended and unlocked regardless of the location, there are hot spots for thefts in the city to avoid, such as the beach from Malibu down to Venice, low pedestrian traffic areas like alleys, and high vehicular traffic areas such as Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards where many thieves know they can find a bike left on top of a car roof or inside one.

Another popular theft destination is Santa Monica College, where many students opt to use bicycles as their means of transportation rather than cars.

church in 1886 and today serves approximately 9,000 families, home to one of the most active communities in the Archdiocese.

The church’s main building on Seventh Street and California Avenue was built in 1926 and was featured in the 1944 film, “Going My Way.” The church operates an elementary and high school on its campus.

For Klosterman, one of the most challenging aspects of the new role as father at St. Monica is always being present and available to the people of the church.

“It’s been a transition,” he said. “I’m kind of pouring myself out and learning how to minister from the people.

“It’s been a big transition and a big time of learning.”

In his down time, Klosterman has been enjoying living in Santa Monica, currently residing in the church’s rectory. He isn’t a stranger to the Westside, having been born in Culver City and spending his first few years there before moving to the Antelope Valley where he grew up.

Formerly a lifeguard, Klosterman has made a few trips out to the beach, swimming in the ocean and running along the bluff. He has occasionally run into parishioners, who don’t recognize the priest without his white collar.

“I feel privileged to be at such a wonderful place,” Klosterman said. “I find a great deal of meaning and satisfaction serving people.” melodyh@smdp.com

“People will go into a store and do some shopping, and they’ll be gone only for 10 minutes or less, but unfortunately that is all some people need to steal a bike,” Tarasut said.

The police recommend getting a U-lock made of hardened steal and to lock bikes up in places where there are lots of people passing by. It is also good to lock up bikes to cityinstalled racks and not to trees or poles.

Very few bikes are returned to their owners, Thruston said.

Boschen’s truck was recovered, but she isn’t holding out much hope that she’ll get her bikes back. She was lucky a few months ago when her bike was stolen for the first time. An ex-boyfriend spotted someone riding it and got it back.

“It had a huge, pink basket on it and there was this big dude riding it so that kind of stuck out,” Boschen said. “You could tell it didn’t belong to the guy.” kevinh@smdp.com

Follow a wild idea, Libra ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★★ You might want to rethink a decision that involves feelings and communication. Your creativity comes forward, and you see life from a different or easier point of view. Do not back off; rather, be aware of the sensitivities of a child or loved one. Tonight: Chat up a storm.

★★★★ You might learn more than you think.

Your ability to read between the lines proves to be most helpful, especially as someone cannot be clear, no matter what. Try to stay on top of your game. Tonight: Follow a wild idea.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★ Be careful with expenditures. You might be having a hard time coming to a decision.

Investigate options that could impact your direction. Know that you do not need to determine which course to take just yet. Tonight: Your treat.

★★★★★ You might want to consider taking a very different approach, as the last one might not have been the success you’d desired.

Knowing when to take action or perhaps do something very different could be important.

Tonight: Togetherness works.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★★ Your smile is a winner. You seem determined and sure of yourself. Others respond. You discover whether you feel threatened by the level of your response. Understand rather than judge. Tonight: All smiles.

★★★★ Defer to others. See what they really offer. Your ability to answer to others and get ahead of possibilities could be more important than you realize. You see a situation from a very different perspective. Start sharing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ Easy does it, knowing and establishing your limits. You could be too tired for your own good. Take a much-needed break. A boss overdoes it and goes overboard, not necessarily in a good way. Tonight: Do for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ Your creativity comes through in whatever area you focus on. If you are single and open, in this type of mood, someone could find you very attractive. Tonight: Forget what night of the week it is, just enjoy living.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

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

â– (1) People would hardly expect a brawl at the Guilford (Maine) Historical Society, but in May, member Al Hunt, who was irate that rare photographs of the town had been loaned to a local restaurant, might have bumped against the society's secretary, Zarvin Shaffer. According to witnesses, Shaffer then punched Hunt in the face, Hunt's wife grabbed a chair, and Shaffer's son yanked Mrs. Hunt away by her hair. (2) In April, the Sycamore (Ill.) City Council voted to quadruple the fine for overstaying a parking meter (from 25 cents to $1). The city's 360 meters themselves will remain at a penny for 12 minutes, a nickel for an hour and a dime for two hours. â– Brother Cesare Bonizzi, 62, of a Capuchin Friars monastery near Milan, Italy, is the lead singer in a heavy-metal band that recently released its second album, "Misteri" ("Mysteries"), following a successful performance at Italy's "Gods of Metal" festival (headlined by Iron Maiden and, ironically, Judas Priest). On stage, the white-flowing-bearded Brother Cesare booms out gritty but non-proselytizing lyrics while wearing his traditional brown robe. He told BBC News in July that his superiors have never interfered with his sideline and that he plans to send a copy of the new album to the pope. "He's a music lover, and metal is music."
