THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME ISSUE

Locals help rescue plane crash victims

BY MELODY HANATANI Daily Press Staff Writer

MALIBU Mike Dwyer ran as fast as he could, panting and splashing sand as he darted toward the sunset, the image of a plane plummeting into the water fresh in his mind as he dove into the ocean.

Jason Sandoval frantically paddled across the water on his surfboard, fighting the waves as he followed the wreckage, hoping to find survivors in a crash he heard from his

office window just moments before.

At a time when most people were getting ready to call it a day at work, two colleagues crossed paths outside of the office, both trying to save the victims in a plane crash that took place just outside of their office in Malibu.

Dwyer, a Santa Monica resident, and Sandoval, who resides in Venice, were the first men at the scene after a Sky Arrow 600 Sport ditched into the ocean just off Malibu Pier on Oct. 7. The two men, who work at

JAKKS Pacific, are being applauded for their roles in the rescue effort, arriving shortly after the crash to find the passenger and pilot both hanging onto a broken wing.

The crash occurred just 50 yards offshore near the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Malibu Canyon Road just shortly after taking off from Santa Monica Airport. The small, single-engine aircraft was registered to Northfield Aviation LLC and was based at SMO. The passenger and pilot were severely

injured in the crash and were airlifted to the UCLA Medical Center in Westwood.

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause of the crash.

Dwyer, who is in charge of legal and human resources for JAKKS Pacific, a multibranding company for toys and leisure products, was looking out his window when he saw the plane just 10 feet from the water, plummeting and making a splash.

PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITY Detectives are asking for the public’s help in locating three suspects wanted for questioning in connection with the brutal murder of a Santa Monica man who was beaten severely and left for dead on a Pico Neighborhood sidewalk back in May. Preston Brumfield, unconscious, was found by police in the 1900 block of 20th Street on May 11. He was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead on May 16, police said. The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office declared the death a homicide.

With the help of witnesses, detectives on Sunday released composite sketches of three African-American males who were seen in the area at the time Brumfield was attacked.

ANNA CUMMINS

Local woman campaigns for the ocean

BY CHRISTINA WALKER Special to the Daily Press

Christina Walker news@smdp.com CUMMINS

DOWNTOWN Anna Cummins is making the grade these days.

The Santa Monica resident is on a mission to teach the young and the old about the way human consumption has created a garbage patch estimated to be the size of Texas in the Pacific Ocean.

Although Cummins said she always had an interest in the environment-managing a compost pile in the backyard at age 14, her green mission didn’t begin until she heard Charles Moore, a chemist and avid sailor, speak.

In 1997, sailing back from a yacht race to Hawaii, the Long Beach-based Moore, decided to take a short cut across the North Pacific Gyre. Fishermen and sailors typical-

ly avoid the gyre due to a lack of currents and fish. Moore had supplies and was not in a hurry at the time. He decided to venture off the beaten path with shocking results.

Moore came upon a plastic ocean as far as the eye could see. Wrappers, bottles, caps, and refuge all hung in the sea. As he has spread the word, Cummins has been one of the people touched by his experience and inspired to do more.

“A lot of people talk about change, but it’s another thing to actually live it,” Sara Laimon, green ambassador director, at Environmental Charter High School, said.

dumping helicopters and planes gained ground Sunday on a wildfire that destroyed two homes and forced the evacuation of about 1,200 people in a rugged area 20 miles north of Downtown.

The blaze charred up to 750 acres and also burned a garage, several sheds and three motor homes, said Los Angeles County Fire Department spokesman Ron Haralson. No one was seriously injured, but a firefighter and one resident reported minor breathing problems.

Haralson said firefighters are “getting a really good handle” on the blaze, which started early Sunday. But powerful Santa Ana winds were expected to arrive in the evening, and gusts could spread embers igniting brush, grass and chaparral in the area.

About 450 homes were evacuated early Sunday when the blaze moved southeast toward city limits, said U.S. Forest Service spokesman Stanton Florea.

“It burned right down to a couple of neighborhoods,” Florea said.

The fire was 20 percent contained and as it burned south of the Wildlife Waystation, an animal sanctuary and rehabilitation facility set on 160 acres. The nonprofit agency houses more than 400 animals, including lions, bears and deer. Officials were loading up the animals in case the fire switched direction.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Elsewhere in California, firefighters halted the spread of a wildfire that burned about 300 acres of heavy brush, destroyed a home and threatened several wineries in Napa Valley.

More than 1,500 firefighters were called in to work the blaze, which state fire officials said was fully contained by Sunday morning.

Investigators said Saturday a rock struck by a car ignited the wildfire Friday afternoon. Strong winds in the hills near the wine country town of St. Helena caused the fire to spread quickly.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said all evacuation orders had been lifted, allowing 100 people to return home after the flames forced them to flee.

Finding a safe lane

Bill Bauer

Editor: Santa Monica has many bike lanes which are essential for bike safety. They protect drivers from bikes squeezing into their lanes when bikes go between them and parked cars. It’s unsafe for both bikers and drivers. Bike lanes protect both biker and drivers by clearly providing space for each. I bike regularly on these safe bike lanes.

Every bike lane has a bike lane sign posted in every block along with a clearly marked lane with a biker stenciled onto the bike lane. The signage is very appropriate and in my opinion effective at saving lives.

But it’s only effective to bikers who know where those safe bike lanes are. Anyone coming into the city probably doesn’t know where the safe lanes are because there are no signs telling them where they are.

If there were signs posted on streets coming into the city telling bikers where the safe bike lane streets are it could save lives and prevent motorists from accidents.

What good are bike lanes if bikers don’t know where they are? I made this suggestion to the city in May of 2007 and there has been no response.

Isn’t it time to put up those signs and save lives instead of having bikers and automobiles moving down the street trying to fit into a narrow dangerous situation day after day, year after year?

Randy Walburger Santa Monica

Innuendo is not the truth

Editor: It’s always easy to tell if someone is a Republican who watches Fox News and/or listens to Wingnut talk radio.

They parrot the idiotic talking points perfectly.

Such was the case with Gabrial Groves. Groves says we should care about Sen. Obama having sat on a board with William Ayres. What Groves and so many fools like him won’t admit is that said board was founded by one of Ronald Reagan’s ambassadors. Nor will they admit that there were numerous Republicans on that board. Instead these fools will use innuendo to make people think that Sen. Obama is a terrorist.

These people are hoping that no one will notice that the Republican party’s ideas and policies have been catastrophic failures. They hope that they can change the subject, because as John McCain said, if the subject continues to be the economy, the Republicans will lose.

They are desperate. Thankfully, the rest of the country isn’t as stupid as they are.

Michael Stark Santa Monica

Bring our troops home — now

Editor: With the election of Sen. Barack Obama to the presidency imminent, it’s time to return the U.S. troops not just from Iraq but from Afghanistan, too.

As the L.A. Times points out ("U.S. plans to train Afghan militias,” Oct. 10) American forces have reported record casualties in 2007 and 2008, and the U.S. military has a “growing worry about worsening conditions.”

The new American plan is to extend the influence to the warlords in light of a weakening Afghan government, which “could set up a hair-trigger rivalry between national security units and the improved tribal forces,” the Times reports. The article goes on to imply some warlords may now gain even more wealth from the opium trade.

Eight years is enough.

The Soviet Union fell in part to their failed war in Afghanistan. In light of our own economic crisis, we should learn from the failure of empire, and withdraw now.

City Council race is same-o, same-o THE CITIZENS OF SANTA MONICA GET

to vote for four of seven City Council seats this election. Whoopee!

All four incumbents are running. Bobby Shriver is going for a second four-year term.

Richard Bloom, on council for nine years also wants four more. Mayor Herb Katz has served 16 years and is going for his fifth term. The “grand old man” of City Council, Ken Genser, on the dais for 20 years, is running for his sixth term. The three, long-seated incumbents are the most responsible for the state of our community, today.

Some think Santa Monica is well governed. They’re either smoking some really good weed or they’re delusional because when it comes to problems, nothing ever gets better. We still have an army of homeless on our streets, gridlocked traffic that’s getting worse; parking is scarcer than a virgin in a house of ill repute; development is excessive and ugly; an ever escalating array of taxes, fees and city charges abound, and non-rental housing is priced out of reach for all but the Beckhams.

Under Katz, Bloom and Genser, our bedroom community has become an international travel and tourism center, a regional entertainment/production center, a regional educational center, a regional center for medicine, a regional dining and shopping destination, a regional homeless services center and a regional center for public housing. Thank goodness they haven’t figured out how to screw up our climate, yet.

City government doesn’t serve the people.

It serves itself and the agendas of the power brokers, socialists and dreamers behind the scenes. Instead of resolving issues, we get piein-the-sky, utopian schemes that exacerbate problems by gridlocking traffic, wasting money, attracting more vagrants and encouraging even more development (as long as it’s on bus routes).

For example, look no further than the Pico Neighborhood. Nine years ago, neighbors begged for a few trees along 20th Street and Cloverfield Boulevard without screwing with traffic. Recently Councilmen Genser, Bloom, Kevin McKeown and Mayor Herb Katz added their own two-cents: remove or shrink traffic lanes, reduce street parking, add planted medians, traffic islands, bike lanes and modify intersections — as they’ve done all over town.

Their vision will add millions of dollars to the project’s cost and may make streets less safe for everybody. Again and again, residents are ignored because it’s about “them,” not “us.” So, wanna bet that Pico and Sunset Park neighbors will see firsthand how council egos will create substantial increases in congestion and residen-

tial cut-through driving when the revised 20th/Cloverfield designs are unveiled to residents Wednesday, Oct. 16, at 7 p.m. in the Virginia Park auditorium?

There’s a lot of talk about solving homelessness with housing. But there’s darn little housing available. Hundreds are on waiting lists. Shriver busted his pick to secure housing for homeless vets at the Brentwood Veteran’s Administration. Meanwhile, Katz, Genser and Bloom talk the talk but have done little to get people real help or housing. Reduce our hardcore street population? Forgeddaboutit.

The update to the city plan or LUCE (Land Use and Circulation Element) calls for much more commercial and residential development with greater heights and density on major transit streets. Genser and Shriver oppose LUCE’s extra 10-foot "bonus” height allowances while Bloom and Katz support them. Genser, Bloom and Katz overwhelmingly supported the development agreement for the massive, 324-unit “Village” in the Civic Center including the 96-foot tall wing.

Shriver opposed it as “too big.”

Parking problems are solved with yet more restricted parking zones throughout town. Although opposed for the most part

by Katz, unfettered permit parking has exacerbated city-wide parking shortages.

There’s no desire to control spending.

Fees and taxes increase continually. The city employs about 2,200 people and its annual budget is over half-a-billion dollars.

Residents are constantly shortchanged.

Public housing and social services still go to outsiders first. Because Genser, Bloom and Katz rarely rein in spending and waste, they’re poor stewards of the public purse.

Measure T is the ballot proposal that would restrict commercial development for the next 15 years and consequently reduce the huge traffic increases new commercial developments bring. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are pouring in from out of town developers to defeat T and fatten campaign war chests for anti-T candidates Genser, Bloom and Katz.

Shriver, by supporting T, is flying in the face of “no on T” business interests who supported him in 2004. He’ll probably lose out on their contributions, too. However, Shriver’s proved to me that he’s truly an independent thinker and can’t be bought. How refreshing.

The real tragedy is there’s only one viable challenger, Ted Winterer. He’s been sandbagged or ignored by the city’s political power base and because he supports T, he won’t get any filthy developer lucre, either.

I don’t care. We need change. I’m just voting for Shriver and Winterer.

America’s shadow government NEXT

PRESIDENT

WILL

inherit more than a financial catastrophe when he assumes office. He will also inherit a shadow government — one that is fully staffed by unelected officials, fully operational and ready to take over the running of the country at a moment’s notice.

This so-called shadow government is not a new development. It has been a long time in the making. Yet it has been so shrouded in secrecy, even from those elected to represent the American people in Congress, that it essentially exists and functions contrary to any concept of democratic government. The little that has leaked out merely serves to reinforce concerns that an authoritarian government waits in the wings. All it will take is the right event for such a regime to emerge from the shadows.

It might not even require an actual attack, as President Bush ensured when he stealthily issued National Security Presidential Directive 51 and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 20 in May 2007.

Comprising the country’s Continuity of Government (COG) plan, these directives, which do not need congressional approval, provide a skeletal outline of the actions the executive will take in the event of a “national emergency.” In fact, they go so far as to grant the president the power to unilaterally declare a national emergency, which is loosely defined as “any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions.”

Thus, a debilitating attack would give unchecked executive, legislative and judicial power to the executive branch and its unelected minions. The country would be subjected to martial law by default, and the Constitution and the Bill of Rights would be suspended. (This adds an ominous note to the disconcerting news that for the first time ever, U.S. military forces, trained in domestic police tactics and crowd control, are being deployed inside the U.S.) These concerns continued into the 1980s.

Under President Ronald Reagan, an elaborate plan was created in which three teams consisting of a cabinet member, an executive chief of staff and military and intelligence officials would practice evacuating and directing a counter nuclear strike against the Soviet Union from a variety of high-tech, mobile command vehicles. If the president and vice president were both killed, one of these teams would take control, with the

ranking cabinet official serving as president.

Among those Reagan handpicked to advise an inexperienced and potentially incompetent successor in a time of crisis were Congressman Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, then a business executive with G. D. Searle & Co. This all changed after the attacks of Sept.

11, 2001, when it became clear that the assumptions that drove COG planning during the Cold War no longer applied. There would be no warning against a terrorist attack. Thus, instead of relying on part-time bureaucrats and evacuation schematics, the Bush administration permanently appointed executive officials, stationed outside the capital, to run a shadow government.

The plans for the shadow government are more elaborate than many realize. Massive underground bunkers are sprinkled throughout the country for the government elite to escape to in the event of a national emergency. Mount Weather, near Bluemont, Va., is one of a number of such facilities.

What is the bottom line here? We are, for all intents and purposes, one terrorist attack away from having a full-fledged authoritarian state emerge from the shadows, at which time democratic government will be dissolved and the country will be ruled by an unelected bureaucracy. And because so much of this shadow government remains under wraps, there is much we don’t know about it. Yet that does not diminish the threat it poses to democratic government.

The Bush administration, in fact, has refused to reveal the classified details of COG, even to members of Congress.

Representative Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.), a member of the Committee on Homeland Security, requested access to COG plans.

Members of Congress are supposedly allowed to view such documents in a secure “bubble room” in the Capitol Building.

However, White House staff refused to release the documents. Understandably, DeFazio was livid.

Those who drafted the Constitution never contemplated, nor would they have tolerated, a nonelected, secretive shadow government. All government officials under the U.S. Constitution are accountable to the elected representatives. Otherwise, democratic government, for all intents and purposes, ceases to exist.

Paulson says ‘no’ to protectionism

BY HARRY DUNPHY Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson told international leaders on Sunday that isolationism and protectionism could worsen the spreading financial crisis. With a new trading week dawning, U.S. lawmakers urged quick action by the Bush administration on measures to make direct purchases of bank stock to help unlock lending.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, said an administration proposal to inject federal money directly into certain banks, in effect partially nationalizing the banking system, “is gaining steam.”

“I am hopeful that ... the Treasury will announce that they’re doing it. And they have to do it quickly ... markets are waiting,” Schumer, D-N.Y., said.

The administration has not indicated when it would announce its next steps.

Democrats also are lining up behind House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s plan to bring lawmakers back to Capitol Hill after the Nov. 4 election to work on a second economic relief plan. The idea is “give the middle class and the average citizen the same kind of relief that we try to give the financial sector,” said Democratic Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.

Top Democrats are suggesting a $150 billion measure that would extend jobless benefits, provide more money for food stamps and finance some construction projects, such as rebuilding bridges and roads. It would also

include either a tax rebate or tax cut.

Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri, the secondranking House Republican, said he would help on a plan “that makes sense” but is not laden with huge public works projects or bailouts for states that overspent on social programs.

In another step aimed at easing the financial crisis, the Federal Reserve on Sunday approved the $12.2 billion acquisition of troubled Wachovia Corp. by Wells Fargo & Co. Wachovia is the latest in a string of major banks and financial institutions that have been felled by the financial crisis. The Fed action was expected.

As the International Monetary Fund and World Bank held their annual meetings over the weekend, Paulson warned the bank’s policy-setting committee of the dangers of “inward-looking policies.”

“Although we in the United States are taking many extraordinary measures to ease the crisis, we are not pursuing policies that would limit the flow of goods, services or capital, as such measures would only intensify the risks of a prolonged crisis,” Paulson said.

Meanwhile, the World Bank pledged to protect poor and vulnerable countries and nations with rapidly developing economies.

Mexican Finance Minister Agustin Carstens, who heads the bank’s policy-setting committee, said the bank and the IMF will draw on the full range of their resources to help these countries.

Bank President Robert Zoellick told reporters the financial crisis “has been a manmade catastrophe. The actions and responses to overcome it lie in our hands.”

Jittery investors awaited the reopening of

ALTHOUGH WE IN THE UNITED STATES ARE TAKING MANY EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES TO EASE THE CRISIS, WE ARE NOT PURSUING POLICIES THAT WOULD LIMIT THE FLOW OF GOODS, SERVICES OR CAPITAL, AS SUCH MEASURES WOULD ONLY INTENSIFY THE RISKS OF A PROLONGED CRISIS.” Henry Paulson Treasury Secretary

stock markets — the Dow Jones industrial average just completed its worst week ever, plummeting more than 18 percent — and hoped for bold, coordinated international steps to address the crisis.

At a Paris meeting of European leaders Sunday, countries that use the euro agreed to temporarily guarantee bank refinancing to ease the credit crunch. French President Nicolas Sarkozy it would apply in 15 countries through the end of 2009 and was “not a gift to banks.”

The United States has not yet gone that far. But President Bush met at the White House with top global financial leaders on Saturday in a display of unity and said afterward that they had agreed to general principles to combat the crisis. Bush, who had spoken about the crisis for 22 of the past 27 days, went biking at a state park in Maryland on Sunday morning and then kept to a private schedule the rest of the day.

Paulson has indicated the administration will use part of the recent $700 billion bailout Bush signed Oct. 3 to have the government take ownership stakes in banks.

Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., sounded a cautionary note. “That has to be very, very carefully done,” he said. “We are a capitalistic system and we don’t want to move away with nationalizing the banking system. So that anything that’s done has to be done on a temporary basis.”

“This is bigger than the private sector can fix by itself,” said James A. Baker III, who served under President Reagan. Robert Rubin, treasury secretary under President Clinton and now an adviser to Barack Obama, said it was important “to be highly, highly proactive.”

Lawrence Summers, also a Clinton treasury secretary, said, “Any time you have a problem with trust, you’ve got to deal with it in a very aggressive way.”

GOP leaders question McCain’s strategy

BY LIZ SIDOTI Associated Press Writer

INDIANAPOLIS Three weeks before the election, Republicans are growing increasingly concerned about John McCain’s ability to mount a comeback, questioning his tactics and even his campaign’s main thrust in a White House race increasingly focused on economic turmoil.

“He has to make the case that he’s different than Bush and better than Obama on the economy,” said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, one of more than a dozen prominent Republicans who in interviews during the past week expressed concern over the course of McCain’s bid. “If he doesn’t win that case, it’s all over, and it’s going to be a very bad year for Republicans.”

Several Republicans, who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid angering McCain, said the campaign should have sought to plant doubts about Obama’s associations with 1960s-era radical William Ayers and others months ago, rather than waiting until the campaign’s final weeks.

Doing so now, they said, makes the 72-yearold McCain come off as angry, grouchy and desperate, playing into Democrats’ hands.

Rather, these Republicans said, McCain needs to strike a balance in his tone — appearing presidential while also questioning Obama’s readiness to serve and judgment to lead. And, several said McCain should close the campaign on an honorable note.

“He doesn’t need an attack strategy, he needs a comeback strategy,” said Alex Castellanos, a longtime national GOP media consultant who worked for McCain primary rival Mitt Romney.

The unsolicited advice comes as McCain

campaign officials are becoming increasingly discouraged. From junior aides to top advisers, the frustration is palpable. Some argue the media isn’t giving McCain a fair shake and are weary of the increasingly problematic environment working against the GOP. Tensions have grown over how hard to go after Obama amid concerns about irreparably damaging McCain’s straight-shooter reputation.

And the candidate himself, the target of a negative whisper campaign in the 2000 GOP primary, appears conflicted on the campaign trail. He’s cheery and smiling during question-and-answer sessions with crowds but becomes visibly annoyed — even surly — when he reads aloud scripted attacks on Obama and Democrats.

Despite the polls showing Obama with a lead nationally and challenging for states long in the Republican column, none of the Republicans interviewed said the race was lost. They said McCain can prevail if he presents himself as the optimistic visionary the public wants at deeply worrisome economic times.

“He needs to come forward with a serious new plan and announce it in a serious manner,” said Scott Reed, who managed Bob Dole’s 1996 campaign. “McCain cannot outdo Obama in just expressing outrage over Wall Street greed.”

The candidates meet Wednesday in their third and final debate; it’s McCain’s best chance to make a lasting impression.

“He has an opportunity to step up and be a forceful leader during these challenging times,” said Ron Kaufman, a veteran party operative who also worked for Romney.

“McCain got the nomination because that’s what his brand is, but somehow it’s gotten muddled.”

Senior advisers insist McCain is trying to be such a leader. They note that his daily speeches are devoted heavily to the economy, including taxes and health care, and that he’s been rolling out a series of prescriptions. They complain that McCain’s not getting credit for those and argue that the media holds McCain to a higher standard than Obama, who they contend is getting a free pass.

Over the past week, McCain also has been assailing Obama’s character in speeches and TV ads. They include one that, with little proof, accuses Obama of lying about his association with Ayers and assails Democrats as irresponsible liberals on the economy.

Some Republicans want McCain to keep it up, though strike a balance.

Michael Steele, the former Maryland lieutenant governor and chairman of the candidate-recruiting organization GOPAC, said McCain must reassure people with a “clear and concise” economic message but also needs to “smack the other guy around a little bit.”

Ohio GOP chief Bob Bennett said the campaign must do more to “close the sale” on what McCain would do as president. But he also said: “I think he needs to get tougher.”

Others say the only thing McCain can do is hope Obama makes a huge mistake or an outside event changes the race.

“Winning the campaign is totally out of McCain’s hands,” said Matthew Dowd, President Bush’s senior political strategist in 2004, who now shuns the party label.

The campaign struggled to find the right fit last week.

First, running mate Sarah Palin accused Obama of “palling around with terrorists,” a clear reference to Ayers, and suggested

TheAgentDirectory

McCain would go after Obama in last week’s debate. Instead, the GOP nominee rolled out a proposal that the government buy bad home-loan mortgages. That drew the ire of conservatives.

Said Gingrich: “I can’t defend it.”

Last Monday, McCain gave a blistering speech asking “Who is Barack Obama” and asserting that Obama was not candid and truthful. He stood by as unruly GOP crowds hurled insults at Obama.

On Friday, McCain called for the temporary suspension of the requirement that older investors liquidate their retirement accounts — and defended Obama as “a decent, family man” the public shouldn’t fear. That day, McCain’s campaign also came out with its hardest-hitting ad yet.

There have been internal disagreements over how far to go, with some advisers pressing McCain to criticize Obama on his relationship with his incendiary former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. McCain earlier had ruled that out of bounds. Some advisers fear charges of racism.

One senior McCain adviser said the worry isn’t just that McCain may lose but also that, in defeat, the attacks on Obama could cause long-term damage to McCain’s image.

It’s not clear whether it’s concern about McCain’s legacy that prompted the senator to defend Obama on Friday, and advisers insisted there wasn’t a conscious decision to soften the criticism. One, Mark Salter, told reporters traveling with McCain: “He responded to questions he didn’t think were appropriate.”

There’s been backlash to the negativity.

“He is not the McCain I endorsed,” former Michigan Gov. William Milliken told The Grand Rapids Press.

Earth Talk By the editors of E Magazine

Send comments to editor@smdp.com

New definition of eco-responsibility Dear EarthTalk I’ve followed the trends in “eco-homes” now for many years. Are there equally encouraging things happening in the world of condos?

Charlie Anderson Seattle, WA

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, CONDOMINIUMS

may be some of the most environmentally responsible housing out there today, especially since more and more developers are paying attention to sustainability from the get-go.

By their very nature, many condo complexes adhere to some of the most basic tenets of green housing: density, to maximize surrounding open space and minimize buildings’ physical and operational footprints; proximity to mass transit, given their typical location in urban areas; and reduced resource use per unit, thanks to shared systems, walls and common spaces. Builders can elect to layer on other green elements, such as high-efficiency appliances and HVAC systems, green roofs and organic landscaping.

“Projects are embracing green [to] be

more responsive to what the buying public is looking for,” says Gail Vittori, chairperson of the U.S. Green Building Council, which produced and manages the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) design and building standards. “They also want to have the built environment become much more in line with environmental and health considerations.”

One example is Florence Lofts, a new development of 12 townhouses and a 4,200 square foot commercial building in downtown Sebastopol, California.

The LEED-certified project features a photovoltaic solar system on the roof for hot water and other electrical needs, a commercial scale “gray water” system to divert sink and shower water for irrigation purposes, and a tank that collects storm water from roofs to prevent excessive runoff.

Another example is The Riverhouse overlooking the Hudson River in New York City’s Battery Park district. The LEED-certified, 320-unit building — the new home of actor/environmentalist Leo DiCaprio — has geothermal heating and cooling, twice-filtered air, non-toxic paint, and landscaped

roof gardens.

But not all developers need to break the bank to go green on their condo and apartment projects. Two-thirds of the units in Harlem’s much-publicized 1400 Fifth Avenue building — touted as New York’s first green condominium, are considered affordable, priced at $50,000 to $104,000 and restricted to families of moderate income. Also in the New York metropolitan area, Habitat for Humanity recently announced it has assembled a green design team to build “real affordable condos” in New Rochelle and other parts of Westchester County.

“If you’re doing a moderately green building, the premium to build is typically

in the 1.5 to two percent range. It’s very small,” says Leanne Tobias of Malachite LLC, a Maryland-based green real estate consulting firm. Additionally, the carrying costs for green units are lower, since such buildings operate on less energy and water and generate less waste than conventional highrises. “All of those will be savings every month for the homeowners or residents of those buildings,” Vittori adds. “That’s a big plus.”

Rescuers saved two men from wreckage last week FROM CRASH PAGE 1 “I instantly stood up and screamed for someone to call 911,” Dwyer said.

Around the same time Sandoval, who is the director of finance for the company and works on a different floor, heard a bang, which was followed by a woman screaming about a plane crash.

The two men jumped out of their seats and darted across Pacific Coast Highway toward the water, Sandoval carrying his surfboard, Dwyer wearing a life jacket that a stranger at the beach had just handed to him.

They arrived within seconds of each other at the scene to find two bloodied victims, one of whom was disoriented and clearly in shock, the other still coherent.

“It was surprising that they survived,” Sandoval said.

Dwyer and Sandoval pulled the victims on to the surfboard and were about to paddle them back when a lifeguard boat arrived.

After the victims were assisted onto the boat, Dwyer and Sandoval headed back to shore and went back to work.

“It’s one of the strangest things I ever felt in my life,” Dwyer said. “I just looked and saw the plane crash and went on auto pilot and ran hoping we could pull them out of the wreckage.”

In fact, Dwyer said he never goes into the ocean because of a fear of sharks.

“I wasn’t even thinking about it,” he said.

“God and my autopilot took over.”

One of the victims was 70-year-old Griff Hoerner who owns Overview Construction, a general contracting company located at the airport. Hoerner, an avid pilot, also teaches a

GOD AND MY AUTOPILOT TOOK OVER.” Mike Dwyer Santa Monica resident who assisted in rescue efforts

private pilot ground school at Santa Monica College’s Bundy Campus, which is adjacent to the airport.

Hoerner has worked with the Bayside District Corp. over the past several years on various projects, including Ice at Santa Monica, a temporary skating rink located on the corner of Fifth Street and Arizona Avenue.

His company is currently installing the sandbox that serves as the leveling surface for the rink, which will be open for the holiday season, according to Andrew Thomas, the operations manager for Bayside, a private-public management company that oversees Downtown Santa Monica.

The crash was a nightmare that came true for Hoerner’s employees.

“I’ve always been afraid,” Cindy Chandler, the office administrator for Overview Construction, said. “Every time I heard a plane crash, I wanted to make sure it wasn’t him and this time it was.

“But he’s a very strong man and it’s not going to amaze me if he walks out of that hospital and comes to work that same day because he’s just that kind of guy.” melodyh@smdp.com

PITCHING IN: Anna Cummins often picks up plastic waste while she travels around town.

Cummins rides bicycle to help environment FROM CP PAGE 3 and tea. She also totes a portable bamboo utensil kit made by a friend who specializes in to-go-ware, avoiding plastic waste from spoons and forks at restaurants.

Laimon, who has known and worked on projects with her over the past three years, said Cummins is a great example to others because she doesn’t just talk about change.

“Her life is dedicated to making sure it happens,” Laimon said.

Besides doing outreach to schools through her job at Algalita Marine Research, the nonprofit that Charles Moore founded, Cummins has been involved in a variety of projects of late. She has launched her own campaign called Bringyourown, through which she encourages people to shun plastic and bring their own reusable cloth bags to grocery stores.

She recently received a grant from Patagonia, and outdoor clothing company that specializes in organic materials.

Through the grant, Cummins received enough money to make 400 Bringyourown bags. For the grant, she decided to focus on making reusable produce bags seeing it as an area of neglect even by environmentally conscious folks like those who patronize farmers’ markets.

Cummins said she thought about contracting with a company in India to have smaller produce bags, which are made of old T-shirts, sewn together, but finally decided to keep it local, working with women her sister knows through her job as a social worker in nearby Lennox.

Those who are lucky enough to get one of the bags must sign a pledge saying they will use the bag 10 times and make a call to a local legislator to encourage them to ban plastic.

In addition to her Bringyourown campaign, Cummins was involved in doing

ground control and writing the blog for junkraft, a 30-foot-long raft made of 15,000 bottles that her fiancé, Marcus Eriksen, sailed to Hawaii along with another Algalita Marine Research staffer to draw attention to the way plastic is polluting fish and sea.

“We’ve got to do something crazy to get the world’s attention,” Cummins said regarding the voyage.

Cummins is not just committed to stopping plastic ocean pollution. She also tries to reduce her carbon footprint by riding around on an Xtracycle, a bike that has a skateboard located behind the seat with bags where groceries and other items can be hauled comfortably around town. Cummins said people can take a ride on the Xtracycle’s additional skateboard seat and even surf on it if they like.

“The time is right to come up with more solutions,” Cummins said of her decision to try to avoid using a car as much as possible.

Cummins grew up in Rustic Canyon and has traveled extensively living in Argentina, Spain, and California’s central San Francisco Bay area. Even though she said she loves the bay area, Cummins admits her roots are deep. She also finds much to love about the place where she grew up including the Santa Monica bike culture and all of the Farmers’ Markets in town.

Besides riding her bike around town, enjoying Santa Monica’s walking culture, the talented Cummins can also be found on Wednesday nights playing her violin at a local tango night in Culver City.

“I think Anna’s one of the most raddest girls in all of Southern California not only does she have organizing and community change skills, she has skills about having fun and being playful. She’s just a huge light,” Laimon said. news@smdp.com

NEW YORK Texas rode its resounding Red River Rivalry upset right to No. 1.

The Longhorns leapfrogged No. 2 Alabama on Sunday and sit atop The Associated Press Top 25 in the regular season for the first time in 24 years after beating Oklahoma 45-35.

Texas’ jump to No. 1 is the largest since Miami went from No. 6 to No. 1 on Aug. 29, 1988, after beating preseason top-ranked Florida State 31-0 to start the season.

Texas received 39 first-place votes and 1,599 points from the media panel. Alabama received the other 36 first-place votes and 1,582 points.

“Being ranked No. 1 shows respect for what we’ve accomplished through the early part of the season, but nobody really knows who is No. 1 at this point,” Texas coach Mack Brown said Sunday.

It certainly has been a fluid situation.

The Longhorns are the fourth No. 1 team this season, following Georgia, Southern California and Oklahoma. So it’s just more of the same following an unpredictable 2007 season that had four No. 1 teams and eight different teams ranked second.

For the second time this season, three of the top four teams in the country lost on the same weekend. While the losses by the previously top-ranked Sooners, Missouri and LSU weren’t stunning, they did a number on the rankings.

Unbeaten Penn State moved up three spots to No. 3. The Sooners dropped three spots to No. 4 after their first loss. Florida jumped six spots to No. 5 after pounding LSU 51-21 on Saturday night.

No. 6 Southern California is followed by Big 12 rivals Texas Tech and Oklahoma State,

which upset Missouri 28-23 and has its highest ranking since November 1985 when the Cowboys were seventh.

No. 9 BYU and Georgia round out the top 10.

Missouri dropped eight spots to No. 11.

The Tigers could vault right back up the polls when they play Texas in Austin on Saturday.

“Our team has just played well for six weeks and we know more about where we are today than we did last Sunday, but we have a long way to go and a lot of room to improve,” Brown said. “Every week, we’re seeing teams learn the hard way that the only poll that matters, or lasts, is the final one. No one remembers who was No. 1 after six weeks last year. If we’re No. 1 in late January, it becomes a statement.”

Brown and the Longhorns made that kind of statement in 2005. They won the national title after spending the entire regular season ranked No. 2 behind USC, then beating the Trojans 41-38 in the Rose Bowl.

Ohio State is 12th and LSU is 13th, a nine spot drop after getting drubbed in the Swamp.

No. 14 Utah, No. 15 Boise State and No. 16 Kansas all held their spots. No. 17 Virginia Tech was followed by North Carolina, which jumped four spots after beating Notre Dame 29-24.

South Florida and Michigan State completed the first 20.

The final five were Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, which lost its first game of the season at Mississippi State on Saturday and dropped eight spots, Pittsburgh, Ball State and California.

The Golden Bears were the only team to move into the rankings this week. It’s their second time in the Top 25 this season.

Auburn dropped out after losing its third game of the season.

Warriors suspend Ellis for mo-ped accident

BY GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer

OAKLAND Monta Ellis knew he was in trouble after he seriously injured his ankle in a mo-ped accident and then lied to the Golden State Warriors about it this summer.

The high-scoring guard probably never imagined that trouble would cost him about $3 million — and neither did his coach or the man who drafted him.

Warriors president Robert Rowell suspended Ellis for 30 games without pay Saturday for violating his lucrative new contract, a decision that apparently went against the wishes of top basketball executive Chris Mullin and coach Don Nelson.

Ellis, who agreed to a six-year deal worth $66 million in July, severely sprained his ankle in a low-speed crash in late August.

The 22-year-old then compounded his mistake by telling the Warriors he hurt himself playing pickup ball in his native Mississippi, only coming clean about the accident several days later.

Owner Chris Cohan’s decision to suspend Ellis seems to expose a rift between the Warriors’ top brass and the Mullin-Nelson team, which directed Golden State to its first playoff berth in 13 seasons in 2007, followed by 48 victories last season.

When the Warriors opened training camp last month, both Mullin and Nelson were leaning toward allowing Ellis to return without punishment. Cohan and Rowell instead decided to risk alienating the player expected to be the centerpiece

of Nelson’s up-tempo offense after Baron Davis’ defection to the Los Angeles Clippers.

“Chris Mullin made it perfectly clear to both Mr. Cohan and myself that he didn’t think this was a big deal at the beginning, and we happen to think it’s a very big deal,” Rowell said. “We happen to think that it’s a big deal for our fans, it’s a big deal for our season ticket-holders, it’s a big deal for our business partners, it’s a big deal for the Warriors organization.”

Both Mullin and Nelson are in the final seasons of their contracts with Golden State, and neither had been approached about an extension by late last month.

The Warriors counted four preseason games in the suspension’s length, which means Ellis can’t return to the club until after Golden State’s 26th regular-season game, against Indiana on Dec. 17.

Ellis, who recently underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament, was unlikely to be healthy enough to return before midDecember anyway, but the suspension means the guard won’t be paid during his absence. Ellis’ agent, Jeff Fried, met with Golden State officials during the week to discuss Ellis’ punishment.

Rowell said Fried was “not in complete alignment with us” on the decision. Fried and Ellis couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

“I thought highly of Monta going into the decision that we had to make, and I think just as highly of him as a person,” Rowell said.

Burn the candle tonight, Cancer ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ If you can figure out an excuse for taking today off, do so. You might need time to recharge your sense of adventure. Communication could be stilted wherever you are, whether you like it or not. Tonight: All smiles.

★★★★ Others dominate, even if you wish it were otherwise. Know when to back off and make a situation work differently. By taking your energy and push out of a situation, you allow more options for everyone involved -including you. Tonight: Sort through invitations.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★ Take your time, and be the slow-moving Bull, as minefields lie all around you. Instead of walking into a mess, you might see all the red lights as you head in that direction. Honor this traffic symbol. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ Reach out and grab what you want. At least you feel that you can make a dream into a reality. Rather than leaving this situation in a merely mental state, try making it so. You could be amazed by how good you are at manifesting this. Tonight: Where the action is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ You could feel as if you are carrying a two-ton weight on your back. Others might not notice, as they are into their own stuff. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.

★★★ Know what you can spend, and put a limit on yourself. Generally, you are the source of discipline, but right now that might not be the case. You could be more out of sorts than you realize. Tonight: Your treat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ You charge ahead without a thought.

You might not even realize that you are facing a longtime fear and going right through it.

Messages are not as clear as you might like.

Tonight: E-mail; return calls; catch up on another's news.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Work with individuals rather than with groups, if possible. You discover just how much you can accomplish in this fashion. Pressure comes via a risk. The right choice is to say "no." Do not be seduced by the lure of "maybe." Tonight: Visit with a friend.

Happy birthday

SantaMonicaSimon.com (310) 749-8686 ssalloom@gmail.com

★★★ You know that you have a lot of ground to cover. However, the twists and turns on the path could be stressful, but not unmanageable.

Confirm meetings and appointments. Listen to other views. Tonight: Squeeze in a stressbuster.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★★ Reach out and get more information.

This could entail talking to an expert or someone you respect. What you are trying to do is look past the obvious. Tonight: Consider a seminar or trip in the near future. Expose your mind to something different.

Simon Salloom

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★★ Your fiery style appeals to many, but not everyone. A problem could arise with someone who does not like the way you risk or maybe your style. Tonight: Fun times are here.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Your finances could be shaky if you listen to a friend's input. You are on top of your game if you listen to your inner voice. Opt to NOT make a financial decision, OK? Move on a key matter. Tonight: Your treat.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: ★★★★★Dynamic ★★ So-So ★★★★ Positive ★ Difficult ★★★ Average

You have a lot going on this year, especially in 2009.

Staying in touch with your needs and not deferring could be more important than you realize. Let others have their head more often, and you do your thing. If single, you will meet people with ease after the new year. You might be having so much fun that you cannot seem to settle down. Be careful, as you could miss out on meeting someone very special. If attached, you discover the power of better communication, more sharing and adding some much-loved fun. Get to know each other like new lovers. ARIES can challenge you.

SHEPARD

■ After a 14-week trial in 2003 in Durham, N.C., Michael Peterson was convicted of murdering his wife with a fireplace poker and is now serving a life sentence, but his former neighbor, Larry Pollard, is certain that Mrs. Peterson was killed instead by an owl gone bad. Pollard offered voluminous information about owls to buttress his theory, but acknowledged earlier that no feathers had been found at the scene. However, in August, the State Bureau of Investigation disclosed that one "microscopic feather" was on a clump of hair in Mrs. Peterson's hand. Shouted Pollard, "(T)he feather has been found" (although it was likely a household speck of down).
