ST. ANNE’S CHURCH — Elected officials Sunday joined with the faithbased community in launching a regional effort to address gang violence. Before a crowd of roughly 150 residents, City Council members said they will embark on a campaign with LA Voice to bring other municipalities together to save
youth. LA Voice is an interfaith community organization that is committed to working on public safety, homelessness/housing and access to health care for all. The announcement marks the first time that elected officials have publicly committed to a regional approach that would mirror efforts made to address homelessness. “Every day we walk around with a cloud over us, the cloud of gang vio-
lence,” said Councilman Richard Bloom. “I don’t believe any of us have all the answers … We must look inward to our community, our families, churches and synagogues and communicate with those who would take up arms … The faithbased community has always been there, but now we are all coming together, interacting together.” The announcement comes on the heels of a $246,000 grant from the
Senior spots spur screams BY NORA SORENA CASEY Special to the Daily Press
SAMOHI — There is a very big problem when roughly 3,500 people are trying to get to the exact same place at the exact same time and have only 40 parking spots between them. That problem is called parking at Santa Monica High School. Sept. 12 was for many the most important moment of their time at Samohi — the senior parking drawing. Forty lucky seniors were picked randomly out of a hat and given a space in the senior lot on campus. For those lucky few, life just got a lot easier. From the first day of ninth grade, when students finds themselves running to catch a loaded bus or sitting

■ A Connecticut company (454 Life Sciences) and Germany’s Max Planck Institute have made recent breakthroughs in developing the genome of a Neanderthal man, which shows a 99 percent-plus similarity with that of humans, according to a July New York Times report. If they succeed, it might be possible to bring the species back to life by implanting the genes into a human egg (provided, of course, that some woman volunteers to bear a Neanderthal baby).

★★★★ Sometimes so much is put on your plate that you really don't know which direction to head in. Your ability to read between the lines carries you through a myriad of problems. Do understand what makes you think and act differently from many other people. Tonight: At home.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ You have a way of saying things and enjoying others that helps you live life to the utmost. Understand what might need to be clarified, not so much for you but for someone else. Say no when you have had enough. Tonight: Out and about.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★ Step back with the full knowledge that your time will come. Sometimes others push you way too hard or you misconstrue what they are saying. You need to know when to push back, say no or simply take a walk to think. Tonight: As you like.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ You might assume that others are in the same mental camp as you, but you could be surprised. You will find out otherwise. You will see how people who are alike can manifest totally different points of view. You could be most uncomfortable. Tonight: Take a different approach.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★★ You might want to think before you leap into action. Without intending to, you could cause yourself a lot of problems. Why do that? You discover other alternatives with fewer hassles. Follow that path. Tonight: All smiles.
★ ★ SO-SO
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ Work with one partner clearly and directly. You might not like what you see or discover. Your ability to understand and grasp what others say could be critical. Move in a new direction or do something different. Tonight: Talk up a storm.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ Others, for whatever reason, cannot hear you clearly. You need a break. Attempt to gain another perspective -- not that yours is off. What happens could be stunning or quite special. Open up, please. Tonight: See the world a bit more clearly.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Rockin’ good time at the pier By Daily Press staff
There will be dancing, singing and environmental education under the stars as the Santa Monica Drive-in at the pier continues on Tuesdays in September. On Sept. 19, Paramount Home Entertainment presents the well-loved musical “Grease” with special appearances by cast members, a sing-a-long, and a pre-show performance by Sha Na Na. The “Grease” screening marks the release of the commemorative Rockin’ Rydell edition of the DVD, featuring a Rydell Sing-Along, enabling fans to rock right along with their favorite “Grease” songs. Costumes are encouraged. An evening of education and action starts at 6 p.m. on Sept. 26, when producer Scott Burns is scheduled to attend the screening of the global warming wake-up call “An Inconvenient Truth.” Burns and several climate experts will host a pre-show discussion about the film and its implications, while many local environmental groups will be on hand to explain how to reduce citizens’ environmental impact. All movies take place in the Santa Monica Pier west parking deck on an outdoor screen. Admission is free but tickets are required and are available at the Santa Monica Visitors Centers at 1920 Main St., the kiosk at 1400 Ocean Ave., and the cart on the Third Street Promenade. Tickets also are available at Vidiots at the corner of Pico Boulevard and Fourth Street, and at the KIIS Beach Shack every Saturday and Sunday on the Santa Monica Pier. For “An Inconvenient Truth,” tickets also will be available at Amoeba Music, 6400 Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. Check www.santamonicapier.org for more information or call (310) 458-8900. As Santa Monica’s car-less Drive-in, you don’t need an automobile to enjoy the events. Just bring a jacket or blanket to keep warm after sunset. Moviegoers don’t even need to worry about lugging the lawn chairs — folding chairs are available to rent for $5.

Tourism and city officials spent last week at the beach racking their brains trying to figure out just what makes Santa Monica so special. As part of creating a “brand,” they were asking themselves how they can improve the “beach experience” for visitors. City leaders know that our coastline is one of our greatest assets and without bringing it to its fullest potential, Santa Monica is missing out. So this week, Q-Line wants to know, “What do you think are the best things about the beach and what can be improved upon?” Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your responses in the weekend edition. Please try to limit your comments to a minute or less. It might help to think first about the wording of your response.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Who’s the victim here? Editor:
I wrote a letter to the editor a couple of weeks ago (SMDP, Aug. 30, page 4) regarding being accosted and assaulted at the CVS/Sav-on at 1411 Lincoln Blvd. I am surprised at the responses my letter has garnered. I feel a moral and civic obligation to inform the public of what has happened since this incident. First of all, the DA’s office chose not to file felony charges against my assaulter. Although the detective requested felony charges, the DA’s office felt this assault did not warrant felony charges. The case was referred to the city attorney’s office as a misdemeanor charge. The guy chose to plea bargain which denied me a chance to tell my side of the story in court. I have been in contact with the regional manager of the CVS/Sav-on chain. The manager asked me to go by the store and introduce myself to Enoch who is the new manager. Imagine my disappointment when I went to meet him and was confronted by a homeless couple begging at the front entrance. Enoch assured me he was going to be on top of this situation. I told him about my letter to SMDP as well as the letter from the landlord who expressed his views. He asked if I had copies of the articles. I promised to return with copies. I personally don’t think CVS/Sav-on is taking this as serious as they should. A registered letter to the CEO of CVS went unanswered. I received a letter from Betty Haviland, the deputy city attorney, advising me that the guy had plea bargained and was granted probation for his attack on myself and the terrorizing of my grandchildren. There was an attached form which was signed by Judge Kaminsstating that the guy has a “Stay Away” order which is in effective until Aug. 28, 2008. Feeling suddenly empowered with my recently-purchased pepper spray and my copy of the “Stay Away,” I went to the CVS/Sav-on store on Friday, Aug. 7 with copies of the Daily Press as well. All my bravado was quickly lost when whom did I encounter as I entered the parking lot but the bad guy. He was on a bicycle and entering the CVS/Sav-on lot from Lincoln Boulevard as I entered from the alley. What are the chances of him being there at precisely the same time I was there? As I stopped and looked at him, mouth agape in amazement, he pedaled furiously to exit the lot. I called the SMPD from my cell with my newlyprogramed phone number. I was talking to them just as, coincidentally, a Santa Monica police officer pulled up on her bicycle. I hung up with the dispatch and started telling officer Gallant the story. I was so happy of her presence and began to think the wheels of justice, though they turn slowly, actually might work. What a rude disappointment I was in for when after looking at the paper work and hearing my story officer Gallant asked me what was I doing there. Excuse me? I thought I was the victim here — don’t I have a right now to go to CVS/Sav-on or did I lose that right when I was assaulted by the bad guy? One thing officer Gallant did do was to suggest that I call the detective handling my case and see if I could get a picture of the bad guy and give it to the management of CVS/Sav-on so they would be able to identify this guy. She said that because he was no longer on the premises there was nothing she could do. Poof ... other sail of hope depleted. I sat in my car and called the detective handling my case, Haviland in the city attorney’s office and Capt. Jacqueline Seabrooks with the SMPD. I hoped someone could tell me what my options were now since, obviously, the bad guy could care less about his “Stay Away” order from the judge. That was last Friday morning. To date I have not heard from either of these individuals. As a citizen I feel thoroughly helpless as to what one does in a situation like this. Are rights only for the bad guys? What did I do to lose my rights to feel safe and protected and free from attack by a deranged person, who has no regards for anyone much less a court order? Wake up Santa Monica. We have a problem.

Democrats, developers and hip-hop names MY WRITE BY BILL BAUER
Holy jumping donkeys, the uber-liberal Santa Monica Democratic Club endorsed Kevin McKeown and Gleam Davis for City Council. They passed on Pam O’Connor, a threeterm incumbent and newcomer, Terry O’Day, who currently sits on the Planning Commission. The Santa Monica Daily Press reported (Sept. 12, page 1) that O’Connor may have been perceived by club members as being “inaccessible” while the youthful O’Day may have “suffered from a perceived lack of experience.” Surfsantamonica.com quoted Julie Lopez Dad, of the club’s executive committee, as saying, “Members perceived them to be softer on commercial development than the other candidates,” which may be closer to the real reason they didn’t get endorsed. A similar movement against O’Connor at the Santa Monicans for Renters’ Rights annual congress in August ago didn’t materialize. O’Connor, Davis and McKeown received endorsements. O’Day didn’t seek SMRR’s blessing. The Young Democrats endorsed O’Day and O’Connor and Bob Holbrook, another incumbent and current mayor. However, the Santa Monica Democratic Club, also known as “little SMRR,” has the most partisan clout of all the Democrat organizations. The Planning Commission just last week debated planning staff recommendations for the downzoning of many multi-family residential zones of the city ahead of fears that a proposed statewide ballot measure, Prop. 90, could derail future zoning restrictions City Hall may undertake if approved by voters (SMDP, Sept. 4, page 4). During that meeting, Commissioner O’Day differed with fellow commissioners by arguing that the community has not reached an agreement on a basic philosophical direction that would shape future city development. According to published reports, O’Day urged the commission to take no action on the staff proposal “because it does not reflect the consensus in the community, and there is not as much urgency as there is perceived to be.” But he still voted for the motion sending it to the City Council, which is now reviewing the proposal. While I disagree with O’Day’s assessment, his roll here is crucial because of his reputation for being “soft on commercial development” — overdevelopment being one of the hot-button campaign issues. The Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce endorsed O’Day and Holbrook. Business interests have promised to spend lavishly to unseat McKeown and ensure that
their men get seats on the dais. Political observers say that a more business and development friendly City Council is the primary goal of business interests. In the meantime, slow-growthers and nogrowthers are watching the situation closely and looking for any reason to tar businessbacked candidates with a pro-development brush. It appears that “soft on overdevelopment” is replacing “greedy landlords” as a war cry in this election.
I’m bummed out. So far it’s been a dull election season. No feuds or name calling. Despite high stakes, Santa Monica’s elections have always been amazingly civil. There are few lawn signs. In the last election, virtually every patch of grass sprouted a poster for Bobby Shriver. This year, to liven up a dull election, I suggest candidates come up with “hip-hop” monikers or catch names like Britney Spear’s husband, Kevin Federline also known as “KFed,” MTV’s “Xzibit” or “X” who’s really Alvin Nathaniel Joiner or Curtis Jackson, AKA “50 Cent.” Most obvious would be Kevin McKeown. From now on he’s “K-Mac” or “MC3” (Going for three terms.) Bob Holbrook is “H50” (for five terms). Terry O’Day is just plain “Terry-O.” Gleam Davis would be fabulous as “GleamBeam” or “Sparkle.” Pam O’Connor? “Pam-Oh-say-can-you-see” or “Metro Pam” for short. Jonathan Mann is obviously “John the Man.” Mark McLellan would become “MacL.” Terence Later would become “LaterGator.” Jenna Linnekens would go as “JennaLenna.” Lastly, Linda Armstrong would be “The Arm.” Running for Rent Control Board are Zelia Mollica or “Zee-Mo” in hip circles. Robert Kronovet would make a great “Robbie K” or “K-Vet” and Jennifer Kennedy is a perfect “Kenifer.” Can you imagine lawn signs and mailers for the hippest school board candidates around? Check out Oscar de la Torre — “OT” or “Oscar Dee.” Shane McCloud, “The Cloud” or “Shane the Main.” Kelly Pye is “Pye-Fi” or “K-Pie.” Barry Snell is just ole’ “BS,” while Emily Bloomfield sounds better as “E-Bloomer.” The Santa Monica College Board of Trustees has Tom Donner as “Touchdown” or “Cannibal” (after the Donner party that was stranded in the high Sierras during a 1846/1847 blizzards). Louise Jaffe? “Lo-J,” of course. Nancy Greenstein is “Boss Green” and David Finkle should adopt “FinkleTinkle-Winkle” or “FTW” for short. Sweet.

Re: The letter to the editor ‘Panhandler turns violent,’ (SMDP, Aug. 30, page 4). I am a native Santa Monican of 48 years and my heart goes out to the grandmother assaulted by a panhandler in front of her grandchildren. I hate hearing about these incidents and I hate being approached for money, but this is really nothing new. There have been homeless and beggars and intimidation and violence since there have been people, and Santa Monica is no exception. And like many people, she told her horror story but offered no solutions to the problem. She also lumped together two groups of people — the homeless and criminals. Good and honest people have dealt with tragedy as best they can forever, and most do not resort to violence. There are still several hundred thousand left homeless and some 17,000 are children. Santa Monica has always had a large homeless population, and as I have nearly joined their ranks more than once, I have a few observations and maybe a suggestion or two to share. First, how does one “politely” ignore someone else? How do you feel when you ask someone for help and you are not even acknowledged? Sometimes I get mad and raise my voice. Clearly, the panhandler behaved inappropriately, but my experience has been much better since I started saying “sorry” or “nothing to spare,” and looking like I mean it. Some people will always try harder — like the car salesman who yelled at me and chased me down the street when I stood my ground and wouldn’t add another $53.81 to the sales price. He ended up selling me the car for the amount I offered and then offered me a job. I said no way in hell. Dealing with difficult people is an unfortunate part of life and calling the police is always an option and a right. As to the merchant’s responsibilities, yes, he should have called the police if you asked, but if he didn’t see anything, what more could he have done? How much responsibility can we demand of others for our welfare? If business owners are held liable for everything, how many could afford to operate? How many more petulant lawsuits will clog our courts and overcrowd our prisons? We all have to look out for ourselves, and do what we can, so I hope you’ll be a good samaritan the next time you witness something, like the other customer who tried to help you. As for the police response, if the clerk was right about police not responding to merchant’s calls, we have a much bigger problem. In my experience, however, our police are as prompt as possible and as helpful and courteous as safety and the law allows. Which brings me to “your assailant’s” rights. Until you identified him, the police could only consider him a suspect. How would you feel in the face of an angry, innocent person if the officers had the wrong guy? What if you were detained and handcuffed on the street for someone else’s crime? It also seems to me that it shouldn’t be a victim’s choice, especially in the excitement of the moment, as to whether someone is mentally evaluated or charged. If charges are filed, an evaluation should be done automatically. And given our system of justice, yes, you have to go to court. That’s democracy. Our option as citizens is to keep our mouths open and tell our elected officials — our civil servants — how we want our world to be. And yes, it’s all a big fat pain and we all won’t have our own way, but it’s the system we have and it’s part of why so many people still think the United States is a better place to come live. As to the homeless and Santa Monica’s changing demographics, after McDonald-Douglas closed their plant in the late ’70s, we lost a lot of blue collar jobs. Lower- and middle-class people have died or moved away, while more and more yuppies, white collars and entertainment folks have moved in. Main Street, Montana, the mall — I mean Promenade — and the pier have gone through multiple and continuous “improvements.” The south side of town is gentrifying with rents and property values continuing to inflate to obscene heights, so more and more affordable housing is gone forever. Imagine how the homeless feel watching the gap between “them” and “us” grow to an uncrossable chasm. I’ll bet your assailant doesn’t have a cell phone, or a car, let alone a camera to have photos to pick up. They are depressed, angry, desperate and often hopeless people. They need help, not handouts. Yet some still smile and seem happy just to be alive. I once stood transfixed and listened while a woman beautifully sang “Love Boat” while she folded and re-folded her clothes in a downtown parking structure restroom. She didn’t ask me for anything and freely shared her angelic voice. A few years ago, Santa Monica made it illegal to pull bottles and cans out of our trash at the curb, and Los Angeles made it illegal to roll a shopping cart up to the few remaining neighborhood recycling centers. Many homeless people who refuse charity lost the only source of daily income they had. Now, I don’t like people going through my bins on collection day, but what are they left to do but hang out and beg? Most employers prefer employees to be bathed and dress appropriately, but if you don’t even have a phone or address, how can you be called in to work? How about something like: Pay them to pick up trash? Maybe assign certain people to certain businesses and let them sweep up. If I saw someone regularly, with some kind of ID badge or vest or something so I know they’re homeless but working — and if they weren’t allowed to ask for money — I’d feel pretty OK about tipping them for service to our community. And there’d be more sets of eyes around to help us all stay safer from actual criminals, vandals and whatnot. Certainly not all homeless people would be able or willing, but it might help some climb up out of our gutters and alleys. Every day more and more people become homeless, crushed by the wheels of our supposedly burgeoning economy. They aren’t going away and there will always be people who can’t or won’t function in the society we’ve allowed to develop. We can’t ignore them. We can’t kill them and make Soylent Green. We can’t keep dumping them on Skid Rows or ship them off to an island somewhere. We have to come up with real solutions and support people who can come up with good ideas. I don’t know what to do except vote for stuff and throw what money I can at the problem. But we all have to live here together on one planet, and these people are not “the” homeless, they are “our” homeless. Any one of us could become one of them in an instant. They are us and we are them and everything connects to everything. Alvin Crown Santa Monica

Big Dean’s loss SORDAY, from page 1
bartender ever since. But now, after years of putting in 80 hour work weeks, Sorady is leaving Big Dean’s. “The entire patronage of Big Dean’s is in shock,” a regular of the bar wrote via e-mail. “Sorady is the big man behind the bar wearing a baseball cap, always cracking a joke, talking sports or giving hardy laughs and smiles. He will be missed.” While locals will miss the man who has served as their happy-hour friend and storyteller for so many years, Sorady hopes the time off will allow him to spend more time with his wife and two children. In his first week away from a long-standing job, Sorady sat down with the Daily Press to reflect on his time at Big Dean’s, Santa Monica’s local beach culture and even his favorite beer.
How did you first become involved in the restaurant business? “I’ve been doing it my whole life, working for either beer wholesale companies or what have you. I bartended my way through college. I just kind of fell into the industry. I really enjoyed what I was doing and I was pretty good at it, so I just kept rolling along.” What initially drew you to Big Dean’s? “I started at Big Dean’s in October of 1992 after an array of odd jobs. I actually met Jim, who’s the owner of Big Dean’s, while he and I were both trying to buy Big Dean’s at the same time. And when it was sold to Jim, I introduced myself and he hired me 10 months later. And boom, there it was. I was there from 1992 to September 2006.” What is the vibe at Big Dean’s? “It’s very California. Fast-paced in the business sense, but laid back in the atmosphere. People often say they love the vibe and the feeling of the place. It feels like a friendly place, and it really is.” How did you start out as a bartender? “I was 18 years old when I was in college and I was in a bar and won a beer-chugging contest. The owner came up to me and knew I was in a fraternity, so he told me he would train me to be a bartender. I’ve been doing it pretty much ever since.” Do you have lots of regulars who come in? “Many regulars and many friends, as well as what will hopefully become lifelong acquaintances. I’ve been very fortunate to have met the people of Santa Monica. I know probably 300 people by name just from them coming in. I was pretty much at the bar six days a week for 14 years, so I met lots of people.” Who are some of the local characters who frequent the bar? “The Baroness Ebba Rosenblad. She’s a wonderful elderly lady who competes in all the Senior Olympics. She has a lot of gold medals. There’s Skateboard Momma, Liz, and she is 81 now. Everybody on the whole beach knows Liz. She’s just a wonderful person. She likes to come in and spread her cheer while having a couple of beers. She’ll just roller-skate in or skateboard in about every day. We have a lot of the hippie/skateboard/surfer guys come in, as well as a lot of artists in town. They’re wonderful guys to have in there. You have different groups. We get all the volleyball players that come in. Everybody gets a nickname somewhere down the line, too. There’s a real good core of regulars in there. So it’s an enjoyable experience when you get to know people so well and have a beer and learn their quirks. And they know mine, too.”
And what would your quirks be? “I plead the fifth.” Do celebrities ever come to Big Dean’s? “What happens at Big Dean’s stays at Big Dean’s.” What sports teams do you root for at the bar? “I like New York teams. Yankees, Giants. The bar welcomes everybody’s fans. Red Sox fans, even. We all hang out and have a good time.” How is a sense of humor important to your job? “I’m not a tremendously good joke-teller. I tell more stories than anything else. I tell stories about past instances and silly things that have happened at the bar. I’ve been urged by many to write them all down, but I haven’t gotten to it yet.” Are there any legendary stories you tell? “It’s more that when the conversation is flowing at the bar and one of the regulars will mention something and others chime in, you just tell a funny story about a situation. Even if you have to embellish a little bit. That’s part of the whole secret to telling a good story.” Do you consider yourself a good storyteller? “Yes, because I can embellish with the best of them.” How difficult has it been to put in 80 hours of work a week for 14 years? “It’s been hard. Fortunately, my wife, Ada, has always been very understanding and supportive of me. But I did sneak my days off to go to my daughter’s plays or to watch an important baseball game. Bartending isn’t too corporate — it’s not as restricting as some other jobs may have been.” What was a typical workday like for you? “Do all the meat and produce shopping for the bar. Frozen foods, whatever we need, I’ll get it. I go in and take care of my paperwork. Usually, Joe would have the bar set up before I’d even go in. Joe is a bartender/waiter who’s been there for 12 years. Great guy. He would always show up early just so I wouldn’t have to get in there and do all the sweeping and mopping. We’re a pretty clean place, we pay close attention to the cleanliness of the bar. Then I’d run home, take a shower. Ride my bike back or walk back to work. I live on Sixth and California, so it’s an easy commute. Then it’s just down to business. You have your lunch crowd and then the afternoon just rolls along and people start coming in after work for happy hour.” Are the employees at the bar close? “Yes, we’re very close. It’s a very tight-knit group. There are six guys who have been there for a couple of years and you develop relationships with the employees because you’re in the same trenches with them day after day. You can’t help but get pretty close.” What do you believe the role of a bartender is? “I get a little bit of everything. Somebody I don’t know wouldn’t just come in and tell me all their problems because I’d say, ‘Hey, that’s really great,’ and walk away. If a friend had a problem or a situation, then it’s more like a friend just talking to me while I’m at work. I wouldn’t consider myself a therapist. I would say I’ve established a trust with many of my patrons though.” What is the best and worst part about being a bartender? “The best thing is getting to meet so many wonderful people. The worst thing is probably being there so much that you tend to miss out on family events or even some-
thing as small as a local barbecue.”
Have you ever had to kick anyone out of the bar? “There’s always somebody that’s had too many. You just try to make sure that somebody isn’t driving so that they can get home safe or that they live in the immediate area. I don’t say ‘Three beers and you’re done,’ and I don’t say ‘10 beers and you’re done.’ Some people can drink more and some less. I’ve seen people drink 10, 15 beers and you wouldn’t even know they’d been drinking. It depends on the tolerance level. So you just play it by ear.” Have couples ever formed out of the bar? “We’ve had a couple of marriages out of Big Dean’s. It’s kind of neat. You’ll have some guys who bring their date to Big Dean’s and say ‘If she can’t hang here, then I don’t wanna date her.’ It can be a barometer.” What is it like at Big Dean’s on a typical night? “There is no such thing as a typical night. Every night is different. Sometimes you meet crazy, nutty people and other times you just sit there and watch TV and don’t notice anything special about the place. You have to be there to experience it and you never know when it’s gonna hit. You just have to be prepared to have some fun.” What’s your favorite meal off the menu at Big Dean’s? “Big Dean’s is a beach cafe. It’s burgers, fries, fish and chips, grilled chicken. The good stuff. The cheeseburger is fantastic. I went to college in Buffalo and I stole the Buffalo wing recipe from the bar I was working at, so the wings are pretty great, too.” What’s your favorite beer? “I’m a Bud Light man. That’s the most popular brew we serve.” Where do you go for drinks when you’re not at Big Dean’s? “I like to go to O’Brien’s on Main Street. Chez Jay’s, which is right up the hill. And for a couple of beers you can stop right in Bruno’s as well, which is a great little Italian place right across from Chez Jay’s. They’re all within walking distance, too.” What makes Big Dean’s different from other Santa Monica watering holes? “The people that work at Big Dean’s and go there have all found each other. Everybody just wants a nice, local bar with a casual atmosphere. In my estimation, Santa Monica’s got a huge problem with homeless people so we keep them out of the place. If you’re in there enjoying a meal or a beverage, you don’t have to be harassed by anyone. There are other places that aren’t so diligent in keeping the homeless out. We have an open-air patio, so it’s an important consideration.” How do you create an atmosphere that’s conducive to both adults and families? “My daughter was born three months after I started at Big Dean’s, so I’ve always just tried to remind myself that this is the kind of place I’d want my daughter to be able to come in. There’s a big sign on the patio that reads ‘Children Welcome.’ You know, later at night, it gets crazier and more adulty. But if there are children around, I’ll cut shenanigans down. I just try to keep up the family atmosphere as best I can.” How old are your kids? “My daughter, Stephanie, is 13 years old now and I have a 2-year-old named Tommy. It’ s great. I love it.” What do you plan to do now that you’ve left Big Dean’s?
“I’ve been done for one week now. Mainly, I’ve just been hanging out with my son during the day. I’m being Mr. Mom to Stephanie for a while, too. Just being there for them. Kind of cool for me, too, to have the one-on-one time with my kids. Everyone at Big Dean’s knew Stephanie. I loved bringing her down there. I’m trying to make her barsavvy as she gets older, too. I just need about a month off and get my head right and then I’ll get back into the game somewhere new.”
What are you most excited to do with your free time? “I’ve never taken Stephanie camping, so I’m planning on mounting a camping trip with her. We live in such a great area. I’d love to go to the national parks and the Grand Canyon. I’ve missed all that stuff. But I don’t think it’s too late.” What is your most favorite and least favorite thing about Santa Monica? “I love that it has an East Coast feel. I live so close that I can walk to the Promenade or up Montana. My wife and daughter love to go shopping together. I like that feel. And of course, I love the weather. Overall, I’d say Santa Monica is a pretty friendly place. My least favorite thing is the homeless situation. It needs to be addressed. Walking home at night I see tons of homeless and it makes me feel terrible. If it wasn’t for so many homeless, I think Santa Monica would be more like Manhattan Beach which has all the benefits of the beach community with beautiful weather and a laid-back community but not nearly the homeless problem.” What is your perspective on the beach community? “If I could live on the beach, I would. It’s got a good feel to it. Everybody down there is laid back. I know a guy, Tom Lopez, who works for a computer company down near the beach and he just loves kicking it on the sand, sucking some suds back. We get all types of people out here, and that’s why I love it.” So you don’t think there is a certain type of person who lives in Santa Monica? “No. People come from all walks of life. You can be sitting at Big Dean’s next to Skateboard Momma and you can be a 21year-old kid whose riding a skateboard and break out into a great conversation. Same with the picnic tables on the beach. People become friends and relationships develop. Everyone here is so friendly.” Have you noticed any changes on the shore since you started working at Big Dean’s 14 years ago? “Santa Monica has always been trying to upgrade the pier itself. They re-paved it and that was pretty neat. They put some great lights down the boardwalk. They are always trying to improve the beach area. The beach is the beach, though. When it gets hot inland and in the valley people run to the beach like crazy. It’s nice to have that. We have a nice mix of regulars and others looking to escape the heat or on vacation. It’s a great vacation destination.” Do you think you will still visit Big Dean’s?’ “Yeah, definitely. Big Dean’s has become such a big part of my life, I can’t imagine things without my family there. I had a great, great run at Big Dean’s. I recommend it to anybody who’s looking for a neat little local joint. There are only a couple of them left in Santa Monica. It’s great to go out and have a couple of beers and be able to ride your bike there or rollerskate there if you’re in the area. So to Jeff — Dr. Wolff — Mary-Francis, Joe, Bill and B-Rad and Miguel — the main man in the kitchen — thanks.”

Drivers must switch to hands free By The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Drivers in California will need an ear piece or speaker to use their cell phones in the car under a bill signed Friday by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Motorists could face fines of up to $50 if they violate the law, which makes it an infraction to hold a cell phone while driving. It takes effect July 1, 2008, and is similar to laws in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Washington D.C.
A first offense will be punishable by a $20 fine, while subsequent violations will carry $50 fines. Calls made to emergency-service providers are exempt. “The simple fact is, it’s dangerous to talk on your cell phone while driving,” Schwarzenegger said during a bill-signing ceremony at an Oakland hotel, citing highway accident figures. “So getting people’s hands off their phones and onto their steering wheels is going to make a big difference in road safety.”
Cell-phone use is the top cause of accidents triggered by distracted drivers, according to California Highway Patrol statistics dating to 2001. A Harvard University study released in 2002 estimated that about 5 percent of U.S. traffic accidents are caused by a driver talking on a cell phone. The bill’s author, state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, said prohibiting people from holding cell phones while driving would not eliminate all the distractions caused by
motorists talking on phones. Drivers could use speaker phones or phones equipped with ear pieces under his legislation. But he said the new law would allow drivers to “have both hands free to control the vehicle during those split seconds that make the difference between life and death.” The law will not prohibit drivers of emergency vehicles from using hand-held phones. It also will allow drivers of commercial vehicles to continue using push-to-talk phones until July 1, 2011.
California defends rules on auto emissions of greenhouse gases SAMANTHA YOUNG Associated Press Writer
FRESNO, Calif. — California should be permitted to enact the world’s toughest vehicle-emission standards as part of its effort to combat global warming, a state attorney told a federal judge Friday. “Congress wanted California to be an innovator,” California Deputy Attorney General Mark Melnick argued in U.S. District Court in defense of regulations seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles. At issue are tailpipe emission standards for greenhouse gases approved in 2004 by the California Air Resources Board. The rules are designed to cut polluting exhaust from cars and light trucks by 25 percent and from sport utility vehicles by 18 percent. A coalition of automakers is challenging the rules as a de-facto mandate on fueleconomy standards, which can be set only by the federal government. “The so-called carbon dioxide, greenhouse gas emissions standards, or whatever label California puts on its standards, are in fact fuel-economy standards,” said Andrew Clubok, an attorney representing the lawsuit’s main plaintiff, Central Valley ChryslerJeep Inc. “The only way to reduce carbon dioxide is to increase fuel economy.” Some European countries and Japan already have higher fuel-efficiency standards than the United States. But automakers say those stricter benchmarks can be met because drivers in those countries have smaller cars with manual transmissions, both of which use less gas. They said the technology does not yet
exist or cannot be applied practically to the larger vehicles generally used in the U.S. In addition, Clubok argued that the California regulation would “massively” increase the cost of vehicles, eliminate some types of trucks used by farmers, lead to more highway fatalities and cause more air pollution. He said drivers of fuel-efficient cars often drive more, spewing other nonregulated pollutants into the air. A decision in the case could have national implications. Ten other states have adopted the stricter California standard, which caps greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles beginning in 2009. The state attorney general’s office has urged U.S. District Judge Anthony Ishii to rule immediately, while automakers want to proceed to a trial that is scheduled to start Jan. 30. Ishii took more than two hours of arguments Friday and said he would consider the state’s motion. California’s attempt to limit tailpipe emissions is a key component of a broader state effort to reduce its emissions of gases that contribute to global warming. The state wants to cut the amount of such gases to 1990 levels by 2020. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is expected to sign a bill later this month that would take another key step toward that goal. That legislation would force factories, power plants and refineries to cut their emissions of greenhouse gases, a move opposed by many business groups. The projected reduction in vehicle emissions accounts for about one-third of the state’s strategy, said Linda Adams, secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency. If the court rejects the state’s tailpipe emissions, the factory reg-
ulations might need to be delayed by the governor, she said during negotiations last month on the bill. California has special authority under the Clean Air Act to set its own vehicle pollution standards because it began regulating air pollution before the federal government did. It must get a waiver from the Environmental Protection Agency before setting new requirements and has an application pending with the agency. Other states can adopt either the federal standards or California’s rules. Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington have adopted the California emission requirements that are now being challenged. During Friday’s hearing, attorneys for the state countered the arguments by automakers linking tailpipe emissions with fuel standards. They said California’s rules simply restrict greenhouse gas emissions, a goal that can be achieved through new technology or the use of alternative fuels. Attorneys for Chrysler-Jeep and the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers argued that California is prohibited from enacting its emission standards under the federal Energy Policy and Conservation Act. That 1975 law gives the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration the exclusive ability to set national gas mileage rules. The automakers contend California is trying to do that on its own through the regulations on tailpipe emissions. In March, the agency concluded that new national gas mileage rules for light trucks

The manufacturer’s association represents the world’s largest car companies: BMW Group, DaimlerChrysler AG, Ford Motor Co., General Motors Corp., Honda, Hyundai, Mitsubishi Motors, Mazda, Nissan, Porsche, Volkswagen and Toyota Motor Co. Melnick, the deputy attorney general, dismissed the automakers’ interpretation of the Energy Act. He said it requires the agency to take into account “other motor vehicle standards” — such as California’s — when making regulations that apply nationwide. “What one must consider, one can’t preempt,” Melnick said. In addition to the fuel economy issue, automakers have challenged California’s authority to set greenhouse gas rules on its own. They say such action violates laws related to competition, interstate commerce and foreign policy. The auto regulations stem from legislation authored by Assemblywoman Fran Pavley, DAgoura Hills, and signed into law by former Gov. Gray Davis in 2002. The air board spent two years devising the regulations. The auto industry sued in December 2004, three months after the board adopted the standards. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has supported the law.

San Diego’s backlash to medical marijuana laws BY ALLISON HOFFMAN Associated Press Writer
SAN DIEGO — This seaside city was a bystander as liberal strongholds like San Francisco and Santa Cruz created identification cards for sick patients who use marijuana and wrote regulations to permit storefront pot dispensaries. Now, 10 years after Californians voted to decriminalize marijuana for medical purposes, conservative San Diego County is leading a backlash against the groundbreaking law. The county is challenging California’s medical marijuana law in state court, saying it should not be required to comply with a state law directing counties to issue ID cards to users. At the same time, local police, working with federal agents, have shuttered all of the nearly 30 marijuana dispensaries in the county. San Diego’s legal showdown pits state laws that permit marijuana use for medical reasons against federal laws that prohibit the drug. At stake: California’s decade-old law and the industry it spawned, with potentially far-reaching consequences for other states. “This is the first time that a county has said that the state is forcing them to do something they don’t want to do,” said Anjuli Verma, director of advocacy for the Drug Law Reform Project of the American Civil Liberties Union. “If they prevail, it will set a precedent that basically means medical marijuana laws are over.” Since California’s Compassionate Use Act was passed in 1996, 10 other states — Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington — have passed laws protecting qualified patients from prosecution. Voters in South Dakota decide a medical marijuana ballot measure in November. California’s law allows people suffering AIDS, cancer, anorexia, chronic pain, arthritis and migraine and “any other illness for
which marijuana provides relief ” to grow or possess small amounts of marijuana with a doctor’s recommendation. In 2003, the California Legislature amended the 1996 bill to direct county health departments to issue ID cards to medical marijuana users. Counties, which did not receive money to fulfill the requirement, have been slow to issue ID cards, but San Diego was the first to refuse on legal grounds. Under threat of a lawsuit from the local chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, the county struck first and sued the organization — and the state. “We’re trying to get the court to tell the state they’ve gone too far in telling the counties to do something that facilitates the ability of a person to break federal law,” said John Sansone, San Diego’s county counsel. The state attorney general contends in court filings that California is entitled to pass its own state drug laws and legislate programs relating to the use of medical marijuana. Two other California counties, San Bernardino and Merced, have joined as plaintiffs in the case, which is scheduled to be heard in November in San Diego Superior Court. San Diego’s board of supervisors entered the legal fray shortly after dispensaries with names like Legal Ease, Holistic Healers and Chronic Care Co-op began popping up in coastal enclaves, thanks to the 2003 law, which created a legal framework for the dispensaries. California has an estimated 200 storefronts that serve about 200,000 people, according to Americans for Safe Access, a group that advocates medical marijuana laws. San Francisco, Berkeley and Los Angeles have passed guidelines regulating the shops. San Diego prosecutors say neighbors See MARIJUANA, page 11

Silicon Valley taps sun, emerges as a solar technology leader BY TERENCE CHEA Associated Press Writer
SAN JOSE, Calif. — As demand for clean energy rises around the world, the nation’s high tech hub is finding new ways to squeeze money from silicon. Silicon Valley, named for the material used to make computer chips, is applying its expertise to design and manufacture silicon solar cells that convert sunlight into electricity. Advocates hope the region’s engineers and entrepreneurs will help make solar competitive with traditional energy sources such as coal and natural gas. “We’re in the very early stages of a long build-out in solar technology,” predicted Erik Straser, who heads the “cleantech” practice at the Menlo Park venture capital firm Mohr, Davidow Ventures. “The potential is really enormous.” Thanks to aggressive government policies, Germany and Japan are still the world’s solar leaders, but as the global market expands and California launches ambitious programs to promote solar energy, Silicon Valley is emerging as a key center for sun-powered technology. Solar cells, which produce an electric current from the sun’s rays, share many similarities with the microprocessors that form the brains of computers and other electrical devices. Both are types of semiconductors — devices that control the flow of electrical currents — and both are made from polysilicon, a kind of silicon refined into crystals that can be sliced into wafers. Solar cells, which are commonly assembled together into rooftop panels, are larger and made from a less refined form of polysilicon than computer chips, but the same manufacturing processes can be applied. Despite technological advances since the first photovoltaic cells were invented 50 years ago, solar is still two to three more times more expensive than power generated from fossil fuels in the U.S. and relies on government subsidies to compete. But improving technology, falling costs, rising prices for fossil fuels, concerns about the electric grid’s stability and worries about global warming are all fueling the growth of solar. The industry is expected to grow from $11 billion in 2005 to $51 billion in 2015, according to a projection by Clean Edge Inc., a market research firm focused on clean technology. And that’s why Silicon Valley is getting involved. So many valley companies, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs are rushing into the burgeoning solar industry that it’s inviting comparisons to the early expansion of the microchip industry more than two decades ago. “If there’s anywhere in the world that can push the envelope on solar, it might very well be Silicon Valley,” said Clean Edge co-founder Ron Pernick. “Silicon Valley is very wellpositioned to provide a lot of innovation in solar.” This month, Applied Materials Inc., a Santa Clara company that makes manufacturing equipment for microchips and flat-panel monitors, announced plans to sell tools for making solar cells. The company projects the market for such equipment would triple to $3 billion over the next four years. The company’s semiconductor equipment can be retooled to make silicon solar wafers, while its technology for flat-panel displays can be applied to “thin film” solar cells sprayed onto glass and other flat surfaces. “By lowering the cost and increasing the volumes, we

think that solar power will ON THE NET become much more affordSolar Energy Industries able in more places in the Association: world,” said Chief http://www.seia.org/ Technology Officer Mark SunPower: Pinto. http://www.sunpowercorp.com/ Cypress Semiconductor Corp. of San Jose was one of the first Silicon Valley chipmakers to cross over into the solar sector. Four years ago, Cypress founder T.J. Rodgers persuaded his board to buy a majority stake in solar cell-maker SunPower Corp., founded by his former Stanford University classmate Richard Swanson. Rodgers argued that Cypress’ manufacturing technology could be used to reduce costs and expand production of SunPower’s cells. Cypress’ investment is paying off. SunPower raised $146 million when it went public last year, making it one of last year’s most successful initial public offerings. Revenue has increased from about $10 million in 2004 to a projected $230 million in 2006, said SunPower Chief Executive Officer Tom Werner. “The semiconductor and solar industries are very similar,” Werner said. “It’s just that the solar industry hasn’t gotten to the same scale as the semiconductor industry.” Solar’s expansion in Silicon Valley won’t necessarily create lots of manufacturing jobs in the San Francisco Bay Area. Like the microchip industry, the solar sector is moving production offshore to low-cost countries, mostly in Asia. Only about 100 of SunPower’s 1,300 employees work at its San Jose headquarters; the rest work at a new manufacturing plant in the Philippines. Silicon Valley venture capitalists are also taking an interest in solar, part of their growing interest in “cleantech” companies that develop environmentally friendly technologies. About $1.4 billion in venture capital was invested in cleantech ventures during the first six months of this year, and $1.6 billion was invested last year, according to the Cleantech Venture Network. About one-third of that money was invested in Silicon Valley, said Carl Guardino, who heads the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. “We all realize that green is gold,” Guardino said. “Venture capitalists are betting with their wallets that cleantech will play a significant role in Silicon Valley.” The valley’s rush to solar isn’t without risk. The solar industry must bring down costs significantly to persuade homeowners and businesses to install solar systems on-site rather than just buy electricity from the local utility. The industry also faces a worldwide shortage of polysilicon created by the rapid expansion of solar. This year, for the first time, the solar industry is expected to consume more silicon than the semiconductor industry. And some valley solar startups are moving beyond silicon. Miasole of San Jose and Nanosolar Inc. of Palo Alto are developing thin-film solar cells made from alternative materials like copper and selenium. Nanosolar has raised $100 million in venture funding and plans to build what it says will be the world’s largest solar-cell factory in the Bay Area. Solar still makes up far less than 1 percent of the world’s See SOLAR, page 13

Illegal sales remain a problem for DEA MARIJUANA, from page 8
complained about one store in the summer of 2005, prompting an investigation that culminated in joint Drug Enforcement Administration and local police raids in July. Fifteen operators were charged with illegally selling the drug for recreational use to people who are not ill — including one undercover agent who prosecutors say got
a doctor to give him a medical marijuana recommendation for his dog. A lawyer for one of the men, Stephen Harding, who ran Native Sun Dispensary, expressed dismay at the charges. “These guys were complying with the regulations as they’ve been laid out,” said Jan Ronis. “You have people relying on what seems to be guidance from the state and then the county shoots it down. It’s really frustrating.” The remaining stores and delivery services in the
county closed after receiving phone calls and visits from law enforcement agents warning that they and their landlords may be prosecuted. San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said the state law does not require local authorities to permit marijuana storefronts. “It’s the tolerance level in the community that rules in the end,” she said. “I think in Northern California they’re much more tolerant than in this part of Southern California."

signs that their child may be headed towards a life of crime. That will be in addition to a set of initiatives adopted by the council in 2003 to address feelings of hopelessness and despair expressed by youth involved in gangs. The initiatives include expanding job training programs, improving the appearance of the Pico Neighborhood, and ensuring public safety, among others. In addition to the roughly $20 million City Hall spends annually on activities for youth and their families, $6.7 million in grants are given to 27 community organizations to provide services throughout the city, including counseling and crisis intervention, tutoring and conflict resolution, according to a city staff report. “We keep kids from getting into trouble,” said Scott Wasserman the human services administrator whose in charge of coordinating the various initiatives and activities at Virginia Avenue Park, focal point for services. “We try to engage them by offering a comprehensive array of services for youth … We know some kids slip through the cracks. We know there is still more work to do.” Getting other cities to become involved will prove difficult, evident by the absence of mayors from the neighboring cities. Mayor Roosevelt Dorn of Inglewood and Culver City Mayor Gary Silbiger were invited to the
community forum, organizers said, but both failed to attend. Dorn nor Silbiger could be reached for comment. “The problem of gang violence is regional in nature,” said Ana Maria Jara, a member of LA Voice. “Gang tension between Inglewood, Culver City, Los Angeles … contributes to the violence on our streets … and that is why we need a regional approach to find solutions.” Bloom, who worked for more than two years with representatives from cities across the county on a plan to end homelessness in 10 years called Bring LA Home, said solutions will take time to draft and implement as it is difficult to build consensus. “Do I support a regional approach? The resounding answer is yes,” Bloom said. “But it will take hard work to make it happen.” Proof of the destructive nature of gangs could be found in Paul Dateh, a college student from Culver City who lost two of his best friends earlier this year, the victims of a shooting in Highland Park. “They weren’t gangsters,” Dateh said. “It was just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Dateh recalled how his friends, Jesse and Jacob, were typical teens who may have had their ups and downs, but were on the verge of turning their lives around. One was about to start training to become a fire fighter while
the other was in his first year at Santa Monica College. Both were 18 years old, Dateh said. “They had no chance to realize their full potential,” Dateh said. “People may think that gang violence only affects certain people or certain neighborhoods. But in reality, it affects all of us in every community.” The meeting was politically-charged, with references by council members to the absence of representatives from nearby cities, as well as November’s municipal election. “I’m concerned about the lack of participation from other cities,” said Mayor Bob Holbrook, who pledged to use his influence to bring others to the table. “We have not reached all kids effectively. We know that. We’re here to search for answers together.” Councilman Kevin McKeown, who is running for re-election, challenged his colleagues — including candidates Holbrook and Councilmember Pam O’Connor — to approve a motion he authored in July that would create a position similar to City Hall’s homeless czar. The motion would also establish a citizens’ commission to identify preventive measures. The motion was dismissed by the council in favor of a comprehensive review of current services and strategies. “I suggested we approach this the same way as homelessness by hiring someone who can light some fires and get things done,” McKeown said. “I think we can do the same
thing, we just have to have the political will to do it … When we have 15-year-olds with guns, something is surely wrong with out society.” Bloom, who is not running for re-election, warned against politicizing the issue of gang violence. “We are all committed to ending gang violence,” Bloom said. “We need to act responsibly. We need to act together.” McKeown replied, “I was ready to start July 25 … No council member would second my motion. How about it now?” The political maneuvering turned off one participant, former gang member Rudy Duarte, a Santa Monica resident who now serves as the secretary of the League of United Latin American Citizens for the Santa Monica-Venice area. “I’ve been coming to these forums my whole life and their always political; just a bunch of talk, talk, talk,” Duarte said. “It’s just another opportunity for politicians to rattle their little sabers.” Duarte said the best moment of the day was when he saw a police officer interacting with a boy riding his bicycle on the church grounds. “He just talked with him like he was a regular person, you know,” Duarte said. “He showed an interest in this kid, showed him that somebody cares. That’s the best form of gang prevention.”
Turning parking spaces into an event at Samohi PARKING SPOTS, from page 1
in traffic three blocks from school, the appeal of a senior parking spot is apparent. By the time students are driving in their junior year, that desire has turned into a real need. Samohi students either show up very early to snag a parking spot on nearby streets, or come to class late because they couldn’t find one. The ones who live in Sunset Park may not bother to drive, because often times the closest available spot is on their street. As a result, nervousness before the drawing is common. “I’m scared as hell,” said Samohi senior Zoe Young before drawing. “I know there are only 40 spots and I’m afraid I won’t be able to carpool if I don’t get one.” The Samohi administration decided to make the most of the event, and the lunch-time drawing was accompanied by the Samohi Marching Band. They lined up in front of the history building in the center of campus, and played songs including “O Ye Como Va” and “Lowrider.” Between
songs, activities director Cathy Marsh announced the winners. About 50 students crowded before her to hear the results. After each name, there was usually a burst of cheering and high-fives for the lucky driver. “I was in DK Doughnuts — I think I let go of my sandwich, there was only like a mouthful left, but I dropped it and I just told the whole DK Doughnuts that I got a parking space, people that don’t even know me,” said Samohi senior Bianca Green about her reaction to winning a spot. After the first 40 spots are taken, there are a few names drawn to take the spaces of any winner who fails to turn in their paperwork on time. The crowd slowly disbands, the triumphant telling all their friends, and the unlucky either cursing violently or accepting the harsh reality. Senior Tyler Latzke was one of those who didn’t get a spot. But although his initial response to the situation was “boo!” he acknowledged that life goes on. “I drive and I walk a couple of blocks.”

Solar energy is building under research SOLAR, from page 10
electricity supply, but it has grown by more than 40 percent annually over the past five years, and today is worth about $15 billion globally, according to Rhone Resch, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association. “The solar industry is the next great high-
tech industry,” Resch said. “Our estimate is that within 10 years solar will be the lowest cost option for electricity in the U.S.” State governments from Arizona to New Jersey are creating programs to reduce emissions of heat-trapping gases such as carbon dioxide and expand use of carbon-free energy such as wind and solar.
California hopes to overtake Germany and Japan as the world’s largest solar market with its “Million Solar Roofs” program, which provides $3 billion in rebates to consumers who install rooftop panels. The state’s landmark global warming legislation, which seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent over the next 14 years, is
also expected to dramatically expand the market for solar power. “With the help of Silicon Valley,” said Bernadette Del Chiaro, clean energy advocate for Environment California, “California can become the Saudi Arabia of the sun, exporting new technologies for the rest of the country and world.”

Measure prohibits public taking for private purpose BY JEFF BARNARD Associated Press Writer
MEDFORD, Ore. — None of the owners of six blocks of downtown property slated for redevelopment as Middleford Commons wants to stand in the way of the $169 million project. But they also want a good price for their property and face the trouble of finding a new place to do business. Enter Measure 39 on the Oregon ballot this fall, which promises to make urban renewal projects tougher for cities in a number of ways. If passed by voters — and no organized opposition has emerged yet — it would bar public entities like the Medford Urban Renewal Agency from using eminent domain to force the sale of private property that will end up in the hands of private entities such as the developers planning the Middleford Commons project. It also would give new bargaining power to the people who choose to sell. “If the property is needed for development and then condemnation is not available to the agency, I would assume they would have to weigh the cost of purchasing the property as opposed to how badly they wanted to develop the property the way they had it planned,” said Don Denman, an attorney representing an estate that owns part of the area slated for Middleford Commons. Under eminent domain, a public agency can condemn property for public purposes, forcing an unwilling property owner to sell to the government at a fair price, as determined by a judge. In the wake of a 2005 U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding the right of a city to use eminent domain to take private property for
economic development, 30 state legislatures have enacted statutes or constitutional amendments to restrict eminent domain, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. All that went to a public vote have passed by overwhelming majorities. Six more states, including Oregon, are considering voter initiatives this fall. Five of those, Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana and Nevada, combine limits on eminent domain with variations on Oregon’s Measure 37, enacted in 2004, which demands governments pay property owners if land use restrictions limit their development rights. Only Oregon’s Measure 39 is limited to restrictions on eminent domain. “To the degree that state legislation measures the mood of the country, there is concern that private property rights need additional protections from government actions,” said Larry Morandi, director of state policy research for the conference. “The bills being passed on eminent domain as well as the ballot measures vary significantly. There isn’t a model developed that says you can’t use eminent domain for economic development purposes.” Dave Hunnicutt of Oregonians in Action, the property rights group that authored both Measure 39 and Measure 37, said they just believe that a person shouldn’t have their home or business condemned so it can be turned over to a developer. The measure would not apply to projects like a natural gas pipeline or a public park. "It’s a natural outgrowth of Measure 37 and another example of the threat to private property rights,” he said. “For most people property means their home and their business, and it’s more than just dollars. It’s where
their families are raised. It’s where they sweated and toiled. It’s where they have memories.” Linda Dupray has owned Superior Stamp and Sign in downtown Medford for 33 years, and her mother had it before her. But she is not so attached to it that she wouldn’t sell to make way for Middleford Commons, which would transform her rubber stamp and sign factory, a bus station and some used car lots into a string of park blocks flanked by retail, office and residential buildings and a hotel. “I’m just too small to fight the big boys,” said Dupray, who got a taste of redevelopment when the streets were torn up, limiting access to her business. “But in the same vein there’s nothing wrong with restructuring the downtown area so it’s more beneficial to the public. I just wish they would pick on somebody else. I don’t want to move. It’s a pain. It’s been very stressful.” Despite the national groundswell of support for restrictions on eminent domain since the Supreme Court ruling, it is used rarely for urban renewal projects in Oregon, and has never been used by the Medford Urban Renewal Agency, said Dan Thorndike, the agency’s attorney. "That’s an expensive way to get property,” said Thorndike. “We try to avoid that.” Even in Portland, Oregon’s largest city, which has done several major urban renewal projects, eminent domain has only been used 19 times out of 513 property acquisitions since 1980, said Amy Miller Dowell, a development manager for the Portland Development Commission. Four of those were for a public purpose, such as a park, which would be allowed by Measure 39. The other 15 ended up in private ownership, which would be prohibited by Measure 39.

Salem developer Chuck Sides figures Measure 39 is just a way for Oregonians in Action to stay in business, but will still be overwhelmingly passed by voters, because it sounds like the fair thing to do. Though condemnations are rare, he fears that Measure 39 would will make projects like Keizer Station — a retail and commercial development he co-owns in the Salem suburb of Keizer that was done without any eminent domain condemnations — a thing of the past. "Cities are not going to sit still with blight,” he said. “They’ll come up a formula that puts it into streets, parks or low-income housing.” In Dupray’s case, Measure 39 might not even apply, because her property is ultimately slated for one of the city-owned parks running down the middle of Middleford Commons, said Thorndike. But it’s not clear whether a judge would agree, because it might go through private ownership first. There are a number of unclear areas in the ballot measure, Thorndike said. For example, he said it’s not clear to him whether owners whose property is protected by Measure 39 from eminent domain would qualify for the usual grace period for paying capital gains taxes if they decided to sell the property. “That’s the magic of ballot measures,” Thorndike said. “There’s always a lot of, `I don’t knows."’

Saving the world one shirt at a time The lead singer of the band U2 brought his fight against AIDS and poverty to town. Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson, visited the downtown Nordstrom store Saturday to
promote a designer T-shirt that will raise money to pay for AIDS medication and medical care in Africa. The shirts are emblazoned with the logo of Bono’s “One”
campaign against poverty. They are made in Africa by Edun, a fair trade clothing label started by Bono and Hewson. The company will donate $10 for every $40
shirt sold to a fund supporting the health care of the factory workers who make the shirts. The shirt factory is in a village in Lesotho in south-
ern Africa. Bono said he hopes to get 5 million people signed up for his anti-poverty campaign by the next presidential election. Associated Press
