TJ HILL

Samohi cruises past Morningside Vikings open Ocean League play with win, improves record to 2-4

BY WILL WEISS Special to the Daily Press

CORSAIR FIELD The Santa Monica High School varsity football team made it happen on Friday night against Morningside — and they made it look easy.

So easy, in fact, that the Vikings were able to sustain two fourth-quarter Monarch touchdowns and still close out the win with a two-score lead, 34-21.

Although Morningside got out ahead with a touchdown early in the first quarter and was able to hold Samohi in the red zone until they fumbled on the following offen-

sive drive, the Vikings defense dug in and held on, regaining possession and tying things up on the first play of the second quarter with a pass to senior wide receiver Chris Featherstone.

The second and third quarters of the game saw Samohi score four more times on big plays by senior quarterback Garrett Safron, receivers Mike Smith and Featherstone, and halfback Luke Zelon.

Zelon had two touchdowns, as did sophomore running back Kori Garcia.

During that span of time the Samohi defense kept Morningside on lock, forcing turnovers on all six of the Monarch’s offen-

sive drives, three of which resulted from recovered fumbles.

Zelon and Garcia were by far the standouts on defense. Zelon put constant pressure on Morningside quarterbacks Isaac Charles, a junior, and freshman Gregory Adams, including a big sack in the second quarter in which Zelon stayed after a sideline-bound Adams, narrowly catching the quarterback’s ankle to make the play. One of Garcia’s touchdowns came after he recovered a twice-fumbled ball and scampered the remaining 30 yards to the end zone.

Commission chair gives back

BY MARISSA LYMAN Special to the Daily Press

OCEAN PARK At a Boston elementary school, a boy’s third grade teacher told his parents that their son would never graduate from high school. His multiple learning disabilities and inability to read would prevent him from achieving at the level of his classmates, leaving little hope that he would ever go to college, become a lawyer or advocate for other people like himself.

Luckily his parents didn’t listen.

Today, Santa Monica resident TJ Hill not only holds a law degree from the Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, but serves as the chair of the Santa Monica Disabilities Commission. With the commission’s help, the City Council recently recognized October as Disability Awareness Month for Santa Monica, joining other cities across the country.

Whiskey enthusiasts unite at the Civic

‘Wild Things’ earns box-office victory DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES “Where the Wild Things Are” proved a bigger hit with adult audiences than family crowds as the adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s beloved children’s book debuted at No. 1 with $32.5 million.

Moviegoers 18 and older accounted for 43 percent of the audience, while parents with children made up 27 percent, according to distributor Warner Bros.

Overture Films earned the No. 2 spot with Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler’s vengeance thriller “Law Abiding Citizen,” which debuted with $21.3 million.

Expanding into wider release, Paramount’s low-budget horror sensation “Paranormal Activity” moved up to No. 3 with $20.2 million.

Shot for a reported $15,000, “Paranormal Activity” outdid the premiere of Sony’s fright flick “The Stepfather,” which cost $19 million and played in nearly four times as many theaters but managed just a No. 5 opening with $12.3 million.

The results for “Where the Wild Things Are” matched the intent of director Spike Jonze, who viewed his take as a story about a child, but not necessarily a children’s movie.

During production, Jonze had clashed with Warner Bros., which had wanted a more kid-friendly film. The studio gave Jonze more time and money to finish the film and ultimately backed his vision with a huge marketing campaign for “Wild Things.”

“I think all sides reached a very happy compromise, and certainly Spike delivered a movie that was so true to the book, yet it generated the emotion that we felt strongly about to bring in our family audience, as well,” said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner.

Jonze’s adaptation features newcomer Max Records as Sendak’s misbehaving young protagonist, a boy who journeys to a makebelieve island of monsters torn between hugging him and eating him. The live-action and voice cast includes Catherine Keener, James Gandolfini and Forest Whitaker.

A cheap acquisition at the Slamdance Film Festival, “Paranormal Activity” came out of nowhere, riding online fan buzz to a domestic total of $33.7 million so far. The movie expanded to 760 theaters, up 600 from the previous weekend, and has plenty of room to grow.

Paramount plans to expand the movie to between 1,800 and 2,000 theaters next weekend, then widen its release even farther for Halloween. It will go head-to-head with an established horror franchise as Lionsgate opens “Saw VI” on Friday.

CIVIC CENTER Whiskey lovers from across the globe and right here at home will take over the Santa Monica Civic Center Tuesday for one of the world’s largest brown liquor tastings.

Whiskey Live, billed as the whiskey tasting event and sampling event of the year, will feature over 30 exhibitors, each pouring fingers worth of some of the most famous and rarest whiskeys and scotches every fermented, attracting novices and enthusiasts who will have the rare opportunity to speak directly with those who make the spirits.

“You are going to have the crème de la crème of whiskey producers and their international and American representatives offering the average man on the street to taste the whiskey of their dreams,” said Martin Daraz, a Santa Monica resident and the brand ambassador for Highland Park, a premium whiskey from the Edrington Group, which is known for aging its whiskeys in sherry wood barrels from Spain. Edrington will have the actual men who fill the casks on hand to chat.

“Some are coming just to have a good time with friends, have some great whiskey and smoke a cigar, while others are there to take notes and are quite studious about it,” Daraz added. “The great thing about whiskey is that it is accessible on all levels.”

For the first time in the event’s 10-year history it will be held on the West Coast, having become a fixture in cities like Tokyo, New York and London, said Dave Sweet, who is helping produce the event on behalf of Whiskey Magazine, a trusted source for whiskey connoisseurs.

Whiskey Magazine representatives hope to make Santa Monica the West Coast home for Whiskey Live.

“This is an international event and we always had the idea of coming to California and we wanted to be close to the beach and Santa Monica offered the beautiful [Santa Monica] Pier, a vibrant nightlife that we wanted to key off, plus the Civic Auditorium SEE WHISKEY PAGE 10

Editor:

Sorry Bill Bauer, the SMDP won’t need to send you to Europe to experience light rail in a boulevard median like the Expo Line on Colorado Avenue, only across town to Los Angeles’ Eastside Gold Line, set to open next month. Or to Phoenix or Seattle, that both opened light rail in boulevard medians within the last year.

And how would trains following regular traffic signals in their own dedicated lane cause “lengthy traffic delays” at intersections any more than current buses do?

Darrell Clarke Santa Monica

Right on, Kenny Editor:

Kenny Mack is right on the mark in his column about the pedophile Polanski (“No sympathy for Polanski,” Sept. 30). These dim-witted Hollywood liberals who have come to the defense of this child rapist are absolutely clueless. Of course, I bet there isn’t any among his supporters who would leave their 13-yearold children alone with him for a second.

Fortunately, Mr. Mack is able to set forth the facts about this horrible crime, not the spin numbskulls are churning out. Hopefully justice will be served and this pathetic pedophile will get the punishment he so rightly deserves, but that he fled and then hid from for all these years.

THE CITY COUNCIL ELECTION IS A YEAR

off but one early bird is already getting the worm. Councilwoman Pam O’Connor is the first member of the dais to announce her reelection bid — for her fifth term.

Cheryl Richardson and Kim Karie of The Karie Group hosted a fundraising breakfast on Sept. 22 in the ballroom at Casa Del Mar. I wasn’t invited, but hear from numerous well-connected sources that the event was well attended by “the usual members of the business community” who rang O’Connor’s cash register to the tune of about $5,000.

The Karie Group is a “real estate investments and counseling” firm according to the local Chamber of Commerce directory. Coprincipal Kim Karie has close ties with Tim DuBois, president/CEO of the Edward Thomas Collection (Casa Del Mar and Shutters hotels). Karie also works as a lobbyist and is a consistent, low profile operative for hotel and business interests. She was also involved in numerous local (special interestbacked) political campaigns and her clients include highly capitalized firms such as Macerich, owner of Santa Monica Place.

Santa Monicans for Renters’ Rights usually opposes the developers, land use attorneys and real estate/property owners who are avowed enemies of rent control, unions and fair wages. So, some of you are probably asking if O’Connor is abandoning SMRR’s powerful political machine that endorsed her previous runs?

O’Connor has become increasingly unpopular with many key SMRR leaders.

Even her staunch support for SMRR’s number one plank of affordable housing barely kept her on the ticket in her previous (2006) reelection bid.

O’Connor is also on the board of directors of the Metro Transportation Authority and Expo Construction Authority. When the draft environmental impact report for Phase 2 of the Expo Light Rail was released in January, many were shocked to see it recommended a maintenance/train storage facility next to Exposition Boulevard homes — many of which are owned and occupied by SMRR leaders. There was much grumbling from Pico neighbors, transit supporters and some SMRR faithful that O’Connor didn’t give them a “heads up” about the proposed facility.

O’Connor also supports an alignment that would take trains down the center of Colorado Avenue at street level — which I believe has more to do with development opportunities on the corridor than safety, reduced traffic impacts and on-time operation of the Expo Line, itself.

What is most troubling about O’Connor is her closeness to big business and development interests. The veteran councilwoman was criticized during the 2006 election for accepting $3,100 in donations from 13 employees and friends of Macerich to help retire previous campaign debts.

According to campaign financial statements on file at City Hall, in March, 2008, O’Connor also accepted $2,250 in personal donations from employees and associates of Houston, Texas mega-developer Hines who owns the Paper Mate property on 26th Street and Olympic Boulevard. Hines plans to develop the 7.16-acre site with entertainment related office and post production uses. Hines itself contributed $99,000 to defeat 2008’s slow growth ballot Measure T, or better known as R.I.F.T., the Residents’ Initiative to Fight Traffic.

Persons associated with Newport Beach real estate investment firm Buchanan Street Partners (Hines’ partner on the Paper Mate property) also donated $1,000 to O’Connor.

O’Connor may be cozying up to developers, hotel owners and business interests as a fall back position if SMRR’s support evaporates. Or, maybe she’s already jumped ship.

While she’s always claimed that she can’t be bought, big money developers and business persons wouldn’t be parting with cash if they didn’t expect something out of it.

Public becomes snarly at Expo EIR update Expo Phase 2 light rail draft environmental impact report revisions were presented at a public meeting last Wednesday. Unlike the previous Expo scoping meeting a few months ago, this gathering rippled with dissatisfaction and complaints. Members of the Pico Neighborhood Association Board of Directors bemoaned the proposed Expo maintenance/storage yard east of Stewart Street. Others complained about safety and traffic issues — especially with traffic-jamming, street level (at grade) rail crossings at major intersecting streets.

O’Connor, who slipped in late and quietly left early, missed numerous speakers criticize her for not having the community’s back and ignoring her constituents.

Expo Authority consultant Stephen Polechronis described how the city of Los Angeles requested non-street level (gradeseparated) crossings at five key intersections between Culver City and Santa Monica’s border. “Santa Monica didn’t request any changes,” he said. One observer whispered to me, “Why would it? There’s no traffic management or planning, here.”

Not one person in City Hall suggested mitigating traffic and safety impacts from dozens of trains crossing major north/south streets such as Lincoln Boulevard, 20th Street and a half-dozen other key intersections hourly? What a monumental failure in governance!

But, I get it. City Hall is using Expo to screw up traffic so bad, they think we’ll abandon our personal vehicles and start walking, bicycling, hopping on busses or Expo trains when the time comes. Nuts!

Is Glenn Beck the future of TV news?

WELCOME TO THE “FEAR CHAMBER” OR

“doom room,” home to Fox News Channel’s political commentator and television news host, Glenn Beck.

Beck has become a media phenomenon.

The radio DJ-turned-television host has attracted a remarkable following, resulting in a popular radio show, three New York Times best-selling books and a television program that has made him the object of scorn and praise alike.

No scripts or teleprompters seem to be necessary in the “doom room.” Beck’s offthe-cuff, extemporaneous and emotive style have rocketed his 5 p.m., EST, television news show on the Fox News Channel to the third-most-watched cable news show running over all.

If the medium of television has the unique ability to capture viewers’ attention, then for better or worse, Glenn Beck has mastered the medium. And as the ratings make clear, audiences find his show to be compelling, entertaining and engaging.

What exactly makes Glenn Beck’s show so appealing to his fans?

Like Larry “Lonesome” Rhodes in Elia Kazan’s 1957 film “A Face in the Crowd,” Beck has a special knack for captivating viewers via the medium of television. In fact, Beck emulates Rhodes’ offhand, improvisatory approach and charismatic ability to draw in audiences.

Utilizing his storytelling ability, one that is often couched in high humor and was honed during his years in radio, Beck has managed to create an informal, opinionated and seemingly spontaneous program. But Beck’s unrehearsed modus operandi often lands him in hot water. For example, commenting on the controversial arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Beck claimed on-air that President Obama has a “deep-seated hatred for white culture.”

Beck’s approach to news, which he describes as the “fusion of enlightenment and entertainment,” has garnered mixed reviews.

Some viewers perceive Beck’s outbursts as bold, truthful rants that need to be part of the public dialogue. Others, however, view his harangues as unwarranted, incendiary ploys to attract attention and alienate certain groups.

The appeal of Beck’s program has a lot to do with his down-to-earth, self-deprecating demeanor ("You’ve never met a more flawed guy than me,” he insists). Bill O’Reilly describes Beck as “just a guy,” one whose ordinariness and modest upbringing clearly make him more easily relatable to the average American. And Beck reinforces this

Bright ideas City Hall has installed an elaborate lighting system on Second and Fourth streets that is designed to both illuminate and beautify the shopping areas. The project has its backers and its critics.

So, this week’s Q-Line question asks: What do you think about the colorful lights, and why?

impression by avoiding a cranky or pretentious attitude and speaking with — rather than down to — his audience.

Indeed, Beck’s at-times tearful tirades, fusion of moral lessons, indignation and apocalyptic view of the future stand in stark contrast to the deadpan hosts of other news programs and strike a nerve with viewers deeply concerned with the status quo. With his “9-12 Project,” Beck even goes so far as to put forth values and principles that every concerned citizen should emulate to restore America to its original purpose. The project goals are straightforward: citizens are to embody values such as honesty, humility, charity, sincerity and gratitude. Moreover, Beck extols principles regarding the role of government, family and religion.

Clearly, Glenn Beck is not your typical teleprompter-reading news host. Beck admitted to CBS anchor Katie Couric that he was not a journalist, yet he disseminates news, information and opinions to a large portion of the American populace. What is he, then, if not a journalist?

Beck seems to borrow heavily from a variety of trades, functioning as a quasicomedian, actor, news host, journalist, radio disc jockey, entertainer, author and preacher, just to name a few. He can be as funny and entertaining as the Comedy Channel’s satirical hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, but he also possesses the gravity and moral certitude of a religious pastor.

More so than most journalists and news hosts, Glenn Beck knows how to effectively sell the news to his audience. Moreover, he uses the medium of television to make the process of news-gathering simultaneously entertaining and easy for his viewers. Of course, any semblance of objectivity goes out the window when a provocative and emotive character like Beck takes such a primetime stage.

If Beck is any indication of the future of television news, given his show’s popularity and high ratings, we will most likely see an upswing in the amount of emotion and entertainment infused in news production at the expense of careful, objective, balanced and thoughtful analysis among journalistic sources.

But do most viewers want thoughtful analysis? Or do they want to be entertained?

POWER PLAY: A utility-grade geothermal energy plant in Iceland, which derives 26.5 percent of its electricity needs from the technology. Here in the U.S., where geothermal is in its infancy, the Obama administration has set aside $750 million for geothermal development, and Congress has allocated $129 million to the Department of Energy for various geothermal programs.

Geothermal gains steam Dear EarthTalk How are heating, cooling and electricity produced by geothermal energy? I don’t understand how it works.

Delano Stewart Wyandanch, NY

THE TERM “GEOTHERMAL” IS DERIVED

from the Greek words for Earth (geo) and heat (therme). In essence geothermal energy is power harnessed from the Earth itself.

Heat from the Earth’s core, which averages about 6,650 degrees Fahrenheit, emanates out toward the planet’s surface. Heated springs and geysers up to three miles underground can be accessed by special wells that bring the hot water (or steam from it) up to the surface where it can be used directly for heat or indirectly to generate electricity by powering rotating turbines. Since the water under the Earth’s surface is constantly replenished, and the Earth’s core will continue to generate heat indefinitely, geothermal power is ultimately clean and renewable.

Today there are three main methods for harvesting utility-grade geothermal energy: dry steam, flash steam and binary-cycle. The dry steam process brings steam up directly from below to drive turbines that power electricity generators.

Flash steam plants bring the hot water itself up from below; it is then sprayed into a tank to create steam to drive the turbines.

These two methods are the most common, generating hundreds of megawatts of electricity across the American West, Europe and elsewhere. But expansion is limited as these plants only work in tectonic regions where it is easier to access ground heated water.

The binary-cycle technology extracts close-to-the surface warm (not necessarily hot) water and combines it with a second (“binary”) fluid, like butane or pentane, which has a low boiling point. This fluid is

then pumped through a heat exchanger, where it is vaporized and sent through a turbine before being recycled back into the system. Binary-cycle geothermal plants already pump out dozens of megawatts of electricity in California, Nevada and Hawaii, among other places.

But geothermal isn’t just for utilities.

Homeowners looking to go green and lower their utility bills can install a residential system, essentially a scaled-down version of the binary-cycle system. A series of pipes is installed underground. Water circulating in the loop is heated naturally underground and then transferred to a heat exchanger which concentrate the energy and releases it inside the home as heat. In summer and in warmer climates, the process is reversed to fill the home with geothermal-cooled air.

Geothermal has its drawbacks. For homeowners, it may be hard to justify the up-front expense of $7,500 or more to install a system, though the IRS now offers tax credits for 30 percent of the cost. At the utility level, geothermal plants are costly to build and operate. And finding a suitable site requires digging expensive test wells with no guarantee of hitting a productive underground hot spot. Nevertheless, analysts expect utilitygrade geothermal capacity to nearly double over the next just six years. The Obama administration has set aside $750 million for geothermal development, and Congress has also been generous, allocating $129 million to the Department of Energy for various geothermal programs.

Geothermal may be in its infancy in the U.S., but it is a big player in Iceland, which derives 26.5 percent of its electricity needs from geothermal, and in New Zealand, which gets 10 percent of its electricity likewise.

MIDDLEBURY, Vt. Middlebury College used to heat its buildings with oil, then switched to wood chips. Now it has planted a sustainable and relatively cheap fuel source — willow shrubs —that could help cut demand on the state’s forests.

With a nine-acre patch of the fast-growing willows, the college is conducting a biomass energy experiment that seeks to answer the question: What if wood chip-burning heat systems lead to the deforestation of Vermont?

Willows, which grow faster than other trees and branch out when pruned, may be the answer — and may be a resource for other cold-weather states, too. So Jack Byrne, director of sustainability for the college, and business services director Tom Corbin have turned into farmers of sorts, planting tightly packed rows of willows in a field west of Middlebury’s campus.

The question of biomass fuel supply has taken on new urgency for the college since last winter, when the exclusive liberal arts school opened a new boiler system that heats about 100 campus buildings, running turbines that meet about a fifth of the college’s electrical demand.

The system, in a glass-fronted building in the middle of campus, runs on a “gasifier,” heating wood chips and extracting carbon monoxide and other gases that are then burned in the boiler.

“We use our buildings to teach as much as we can,” Byrne said. “We wanted students to be aware that when they turn up a thermostat, there’s a connection to a tree getting cut down.”

The college now buys 20,000 tons of wood chips a year, mainly from loggers operating within 75 miles. That will provide about half the heat used by the campus — the rest comes from heating oil — and reduce Middlebury’s $1.5 million annual oil bill by about $700,000, Byrne said.

Byrne said the willow-growing experiment is aimed at a potential problem.

The concern is that if other colleges, institutions, businesses and homeowners follow Middlebury’s lead and begin relying on forests for fuel, Vermont’s wooded hillsides — already a source of lumber and firewood — could end up being depleted.

“We wanted to anticipate the possibility that our success might encourage increased use of the forests for other biomass systems, and we also wanted to take advantage of another natural resource that we have in abundance in Vermont, and that’s open land for use in agriculture,” Byrne said.

Joining in the experiment are scientists from the State University of New York’s College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse. Tim Volk, a SUNY research scientist whose school had been working with willow for about 20 years, sees a trend developing in willow fuel being used along with traditional wood harvest.

“It’s something that’s going to start happening fairly quickly in the next few years,” he said. “People can start up a small-scale

heating system with biomass, using a mixture of willows and low-value wood harvested from natural forests.”

These aren’t shaggy weeping willows with narrow green leaves like those that grow in wet soil, nor pussy willows with cottony white flower clusters, or catkins. Rather, these tall, skinny saplings can reach 16 feet at harvest.

“We have trials and they’re working well from southern Virginia to Minnesota and Wisconsin and as far west as Alberta, Canada,” Volk said. The chosen varieties must have a certain amount of cold for proper growth, he added One challenge for willow is that while it grows faster than other trees, it’s slower to mature than traditional farm crops — and getting farmers to plant a crop with a threeyear harvest cycle is a hard sell.

But it has some advantages: It can be harvested in winter, when the ground is frozen, so it can be grown on more ecologically sensitive land — near rivers, for example.

The willow saplings, which can grow to about 8 feet in the first year, are cut back to a few inches and then allowed to regrow in a more bush-like way, with as many as a dozen stems, for the next three years. The stems, typically 1-3 inches in diameter, are harvested with a modified corn harvester fitted with a special cutting head.

Willow production can take advantage of Vermont’s many farm fields left fallow, no longer needed for corn acres harvested a year.

Still to be answered are questions about the economics of willow as a fuel — that’s one of the goals of the Middlebury experiment.

Christopher Recchia, executive director at the Montpelier-based Biomass Energy Research Project, a nonprofit that promotes biofuels, said the best estimates now are that willow would cost more than twice as much as wood chips, currently about $8 per million Btu. Willow would be competitive with wood pellets, which are about $23 per million Btu and oil, about $32 per million Btu. Adam Sherman, program director for fuels at BERC, praised the work going on at Middlebury, saying the college is “doing the right thing in leaving no stone unturned” in looking for fuel sources for its biomass system.

But Sherman says Vermont isn’t in danger of getting to “peak wood,” the way some energy experts talk about “peak oil” meaning that supplies of petroleum soon will be declining steeply.

Vermont is 78 percent forested, and its forests add about 13 million tons of wood every year through natural growth, Sherman said. Loggers take about 1.5 million to 2 million tons of that, and could double the harvest without harming the forests, according to Sherman’s group.

At Middlebury’s willow patch, the experiment is about a year from completion. The first crop will be harvested in the winter of 2010-2011. So far, aside from a bit of blight on leaves on some plants closest to the road, Corbin said the experiment is going well.

“They’re doing just what the book said they’d do,” he said.

Boy-in-balloon was hoax, charges expected DAN ELLIOTT Associated Press Writer

FORT COLLINS, Colo. The story that a little boy had floated away in a giant helium balloon was a hoax concocted to land a reality television show, authorities said Sunday, and the boy’s parents will likely face felony charges.

The stunt two weeks in the planning was a marketing ploy by Richard and Mayumi Heene, who met in acting school in Hollywood and have appeared on the ABC reality show “Wife Swap,” Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden said. The Heenes have reportedly been working on a reality TV deal in Los Angeles.

Investigators are examining the possibility of other conspirators, “including the possibility that even some of the media outlets may have had some knowledge about this,” Alderden said.

Documents show that a media outlet has agreed to pay money to the Heenes with regards to the balloon incident, Alderden said. He didn’t name the media outlet, but said it was a show that blurs “the line between entertainment and news.” It wasn’t clear whether the deal was signed before or after the alleged hoax, or whether that media outlet was a possible conspirator.

Six-year-old Falcon Heene may not have even been hiding in the rafters of the family’s garage during the intense five-hour search for him Thursday, Alderden said.

“For all we know he may have been two blocks down the road playing on the swing in the city park,” the sheriff said.

The stunt temporarily shut down Denver International Airport and caused the National Guard to scramble two helicopters in an attempt to rescue the boy, who was believed to be inside the flying-saucer shaped homemade balloon that hurtled more than 50 miles across two counties.

The drama played out on live television to millions of viewers worldwide. When the balloon landed without the boy in it, officials thought he had fallen out and began grim search for his body.

In fact, the balloon — which was held together with duct tape — would not have been able to launch with the 37-pound-boy inside, Colorado State University physics professor Brian Jones has determined.

The parents weren’t under arrest, the sheriff said. He said he expected to recommend charges of conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, making a false report to authorities and attempting to influence a public servant. Federal charges were also possible.

The most serious charges are felonies and carry a maximum sentence of six years in prison and a $500,000 fine. Alderden said they would be seeking restitution for the costs, though he didn’t have an estimate.

The cost for just the two military helicopters was about $14,500.

Richard and Mayumi Heene were shopping for snacks at Walmart with their three sons as Alderden told reporters that the whole thing was a hoax.

Richard Heene told The Associated Press

he was “seeking counsel.”

“This thing has become so convoluted,” Heene said as tears welled in his eyes. He said his wife was holding together better than he was.

The couple’s attorney, David Lane, issued a statement later Sunday saying the Heenes were willing to voluntarily turn themselves in to face charges. Lane said he advised the family against making public statements.

The sheriff said all three of the Heenes’ sons knew of the hoax, but likely won’t face charges because of their ages. The oldest son is 10. One of the boys told investigators he saw his brother get in the balloon’s box before it launched.

Heene, 48, a storm chaser and inventor, has described himself as an amateur scientist, but Alderden said Heene has only a high school education.

“He may be nutty, but he’s not a professor,” Alderden said.

Alderden said that during the drama, the family’s actions led them to believe the story was genuine. But during an interview on CNN Thursday night, Alderden said investigators had an “aha” moment when Falcon turned to his dad and said what sounded like “you had said we did this for a show” when asked why he didn’t come out of his hiding place.

On Friday, Falcon got sick during two separate TV interviews when asked again why he hid.

Alderden said they didn’t question the family Friday because they wanted to keep the family’s cooperation by maintaining the appearance that they believed their story.

Richard Heene was asked to stop by the sheriff ’s office under the pretext that he needed to pick up his balloon, and was questioned once he got there.

With Heene gone, other investigators went to the house. Alderden said they were looking for computers, e-mails, phone records and financial records.

Records show that police have responded to the house at least twice in the past year, including a possible domestic violence incident in February. No charges were filed.

Alderden said officials tried Saturday to persuade Mayumi Heene, 45, to go to a safe house, but she declined.

“We talked to her at length about domestic violence, about her safety, about her children’s safety,” the sheriff said. “We have a concern, but we didn’t have enough that would allow us or child protective services to physically take the kids from that environment.”

Alderden said the children were still with the parents Sunday morning, and child protective services had been contacted to investigate the children’s well-being.

“Clearly, from all indications, Mr. Heene has somewhat of a temper,” Alderden said.

As to the hoax that could end up with one or both in prison: “It certainly got big and whether anybody realized it that it would get the type of international media attention, I suspect this is probably beyond what they thought,” Alderden said.

whistle,” Zelon said after the game.

By the start of the fourth quarter, the Vikings had gotten all of the evenings’ touchdowns out of their systems and it seemed unlikely that the exhausted Monarchs would make a comeback.

But, with less than three minutes remaining in the game, Morningside finally made good on an offensive progression, scoring their second touchdown of the game on a pass from Charles to senior wide receiver Keynan Burke.

And just over two minutes later, the Monarchs scored again on a three-yard run by senior running back Antonio Wilson, bringing their point total to 21.

After the game, Samohi coach Travis Clark was focused entirely on the final three minutes, and he was not happy.

“I’m not excited about the way we finished. We laid down and I don’t like that,” he

said. “I was excited a little bit through the third quarter. I thought, ‘We’re playing well.

We’re getting better.’ But then they laid down right there. We do that every game and that’s cost us ball games and that’s the reason why we’re two and four. I’m definitely disappointed with that effort at the end.”

Smith also offered his thoughts on the game’s close, expressing disappointment at the late defensive falter but remaining optimistic none the less.

“We’re growing as a team and everybody is starting to click. Our offense is starting to get better and our defense just needs to step it up and finish the game out right,” he said adding that during the post-game talk, Clark had been vocal about his hopes for the team’s improvement. “He said if we play with heart at the end we could just demolish teams. We can go far, we just need to work on finishing out the game.” news@smdp.com

Whiskey is star of the show FROM WHISKEY PAGE 3 absolutely fit our needs,” Sweet said.

Santa Monica’s location was key as it is close to LAX, Beverly Hills and the northern and southern suburbs. Organizers liked the ample on-site parking and the pleasant weather, allowing them to set up a cigar lounge outside the auditorium. Because, any whiskey drinker knows, there’s nothing like washing down a great cigar with a few fingers of fine whiskey.

Organizers are hoping for 2,000 visitors, who will not only be able enjoy the various whiskeys, but also live entertainment from the Bushmills Irish Pipers marching band.

An iron bartender competition will also be held and those attending can take part in several master classes to learn about the history of the production process and sample whiskeys in various stages to build a more

refined palette.

Food will also be provided by the Patina catering company, the same folks who feed those attending the Academy Awards.

“It is truly a full night of entertainment,” Sweet said. “It’s not just go and sample booze and have a good time and that’s it. You can do that, but there is so much more. This is about an entire evening of entertainment where you can meet people from all over the world, sample some of the rarest whiskeys and have a great dinner buffet. You are really going to be able to try things you would never have been able to try before. We are talking stuff here that is $300 to $400 a bottle.”

Hill doesn’t consider disability a detriment FROM CP PAGE 1 So how does someone labeled as “educationally retarded” get to where he is today?

“I had a supportive family structure,” Hill, 34, said. “We were always just told to do whatever we wanted and whatever limitations we had were something that we could accommodate and find ways to succeed.”

By “we,” Hill means he and his sister, who grew up with similar learning disabilities as well as cerebral palsy. Hill feels that his parents both integrated and normalized their children’s disabilities within the family environment, giving them every opportunity to progress.

In Hill’s case, this involved enrollment in a different elementary school that provided a special education program. While unhappy at first, Hill remembers his first experiences in special education as some of the most transformative in his life.

“I was very ashamed and saddened to be put in a special education program because I was separated from all of my friends,” Hill said.

“It was like walking around with a scarlet letter.

“The first day we came to class, we must have all been feeling the same way. The teacher looked at us and said, ‘You’re all very special. You see the world in a way that the rest of us can’t,” Hill recalled. “‘I’m going to help you see these things … the way that you’re supposed to see them.’”

Ever since then, Hill has viewed his disability as more of an asset than a detriment and counts himself lucky that he was provided with those educational services.

“My father is a very accomplished doctor that has the same type of learning disabilities as I have,” Hill said. “He never had those opportunities or any sort of special schooling, so he really did everything he could to hide his disability.”

Hill has always been open about his experiences in a variety of settings. Through college, law school and in the professional world, Hill has encountered people who were as encouraging as his parents or as discriminatory as his third grade teacher.

“People don’t expect lawyers to have learning disabilities,” Hill said, saying that many times people write off the situation by saying he “overcame” his condition.

“You don’t overcome disability. It’s with you for life, and it’s part of who you are. You find ways to accommodate and integrate in a way that you live independently,” Hill said.

From his time as an undergraduate at the University of Arizona, Hill has worked to empower others like himself.

“I was a psychology major with a minor in special ed and rehabilitation, and after college I started doing habilitation support services for people with developmental disabilities and traumatic brain injuries,” Hill said. “I did that for about four years before getting involved with doing policy work in Arizona.”

Hill recalls being frustrated with being a direct service provider who had no voice. It was at this point that a friend suggested that he go to law school so he could work to change policy himself.

During his studies in St. Louis, Hill focused on public interest law and civil rights, spending time at the ACLU and a disability firm in San Francisco, where he was born. One of his most notable experiences, however, was working as a Congressional Legal Intern for Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa.

“It was really transformative because he was essentially the drafter of the Americans with Disabilities Act,” Hill said.

These experiences eventually prepared Hill for two policy-related jobs in L.A. Hill first

became a director with the Disability Rights Legal Center before becoming the mental health policy director at the Association of Community Human Services Agencies. Aside from the disabilities commission, Hill has worked with the ACHSA for about seven months, communicating between mental health agencies and state institutions.

“Recently the biggest issue has been the state budget cuts and how they have significantly impacted the mental health system,” Hill said. “It’s an ongoing process with providers, coming up with innovative ways to make service dollars go further.”

Hill made the move out to California almost seven years ago, following his partner whom he met in law school. Now together for 10 years, the two live in the Ocean Park neighborhood of Santa Monica.

“We both love the beach,” Hill said of the community, though he added that Santa Monica is also “one of the most accepting and welcoming places for people with disabilities.”

Hill became chair of the Santa Monica Disabilities Commission in July, and has since worked closely with the City Council to continue to increase Santa Monica’s accessibility.

“There are always ongoing challenges that arise,” Hill said, “[but] it tends to be a very inclusive city and the council and the city staff are very proactive to include people with disabilities.”

At the moment, City Hall is exploring how to update the council chambers to accommodate Santa Monica’s disabled residents. They’re also looking into improved transportation, beach access and playground facilities for adults and children whose disabilities aren’t as readily apparent.

“I think that’s one of our biggest challenges,” Hill said. “It really incorporates things that the community looks at in terms of access to mental health, people with different sensory impairments — really the whole gamut of developing disabilities.”

In honor of Disability Awareness Month, the commission and City Council held an event at the Santa Monica Public Library on Saturday. It featured the work of blind and partially sighted photographers, as well as a film screening and a tribute to former Commissioner Sam Genensky, a huge advocate for the visually impaired who died earlier this year. Hill feels that his work and events such as these help to generate understanding and acceptance, which progresses with each generation.

“I really feel like I have an obligation to contribute and give back to the community. Santa Monica is one of those cities where being a citizen means to be involved,” Hill said.

Both Hill and his partner are active members of their neighborhood association and enjoy being involved with the city they love so much. On any given weekend, they resolve to park their cars until Monday morning, preferring to travel around town by bike to places like the Farmers’ Market and Third Street Promenade.

“It’s one of those instances where it’s still a big city, but it feels like a small town,” Hill said. “There’s not many places in the country where you can experience a small community that’s so warm and welcoming.”

And thanks to Hill’s work, Santa Monica will hopefully continue to be a place that welcomes and encourages everyone, no matter what disabilities they face.

“It’s been a lifelong journey for me,” Hill reflected. “I wouldn’t be the person that I am today had I not had my disability and seen the world through those eyes.” news@smdp.com

Taliban vow to defeat forces in Pakistan ISHTIAQ MAHSUD

successfully crack down on militancy that is both fueling and feeding off the insurgency in neighboring Afghanistan.

“We know how to fight this war and defeat the enemy with the minimum loss of our men,” Taliban spokesman Azam Tariq told The Associated Press from an undisclosed location.“This is a war imposed on us, and we will defend our land until our last man and our last drop of blood. This is a war bound to end in the defeat of the Pakistan army.”

Despite his comments, the some 10,000 Pakistani militants and about 1,500 foreign fighters are seen as unlikely to stand and fight.

Instead, they will likely do as they have done in other parts of the northwest: Avoid conventional battles and launch guerrilla attacks on stationary troops or long supply lines.

Accounts from residents and those fleeing Sunday suggested that the some 30,000 government troops pushing into the region from three directions were facing much tougher resistance than they saw in the Swat Valley, another northwestern region where the army defeated the insurgents earlier this year.

“Militants are offering very tough resistance to any movement of troops,” Ehsan Mahsud, a resident of Makeen, a town in the region, told The AP in the town of Mir Ali, close to the battle zone. He and a friend arrived there early Sunday after traveling through the night.

Mahsud said the army appeared to be mostly relying on airstrikes and artillery against militants occupying high ground. He said the insurgents were firing heavy machine guns at helicopter gunships, forcing the air force to use higher-flying jets.

Associated Press Writers

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan .Pakistani troops and the Taliban fought fierce battles Sunday in a militant sanctuary near the Afghan border, with both sides claiming early victories in an army campaign that could shape the future of the country’s battle against extremism.

A Taliban spokesman vowed the Islamist militants would fight to “our last drop of blood” to defend their stronghold of South Waziristan, predicting the army would fail in its latest attempt to gain control over it.

The army said 60 militants and six soldiers had been killed since the offensive began Saturday in the mountainous, remote region that the army has tried and failed to wrest from near-total insurgent control three times since 2004.

The Taliban claimed to have inflicted “heavy casualties” and pushed advancing soldiers back into their bases. It was not possible to independently verify the claims because the army is blocking access to the battlefield and surrounding towns.

Victory for the government in South Waziristan’s tribal badlands would eliminate a safe haven for the Taliban militants blamed for surging terrorist attacks and the al-Qaida operatives they shelter there. It would also send a signal to other insurgent groups in the nuclear-armed country of the military’s will and ability to fight them.

Defeat would give the militants a propaganda victory, add to pressures on the country’s shaky civilian government and alarm Pakistan’s Western allies, which want to see it

NCAA FOOTBALL

Alabama sits atop AP poll RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer

NEW YORK After a steady climb, Alabama has reached the top of the AP poll.

The Crimson Tide jumped Florida and landed at No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 on Sunday.

The unbeaten Gators had been in the top spot since the preseason, but the Crimson Tide has been gaining ground for weeks by winning more convincingly than the Gators.

The final surge came after Alabama beat South Carolina 20-6 and Florida needed a field goal in the waning seconds to beat Arkansas 23-20 at home.

The Crimson Tide, which received 10 first-place votes last week, got 39 out of 59 from the media panel. Florida received the other 20 first-place votes.

Texas is No. 3, followed by Southern California, Cincinnati and Boise State at No. 6. The Broncos dropped a spot.

The first BCS standings also came out Sunday and Florida was in first place, followed by Alabama, Texas and Boise State.

Unbeaten Iowa moved up four places after beating Wisconsin 20-10 on the road.

Miami, LSU and TCU round out the top 10.

Alabama started the season ranked fifth, then immediately moved up a spot to fourth after beating Virginia Tech to start the season. After two weeks at No. 4, the Crimson Tide moved up another spot to No. 3.

After three weeks behind Florida and Texas, Alabama jumped the Longhorns last week and finished the climb to No. 1 on Sunday.

Alabama was No. 1 for five weeks in the second half of last season, including two weeks when SEC rival Florida was No. 2.

The Gators, the defending national champions, came into the season as an overwhelming No. 1, receiving the highest of percentage of first-place votes ever in the preseason poll.

But Tim Tebow and the Gators have sputtered offensively and had trouble putting away the better teams on their schedule.

They had 10-point victories against Tennessee and LSU before beating Arkansas on a field goal with 9 seconds left.

Alabama’s four SEC victories have been by an average of 19 points, with the closest margin being 14 against South Carolina.

Florida’s four SEC wins have been by an average of 14 points, but that was padded by a 34-point victory against Kentucky.

“Saturday, after watching Florida give up big plays to an offense Alabama completely shut down, I decided to make the switch,” said Andy Staples of SI.com. “Alabama, at the moment, seems to have fewer weaknesses than anyone else.”

Alabama also has a nonconference victory against No. 15 Virginia Tech. Florida has played only one ranked team, LSU. “I had been reluctant to make a switch at No. 1, even though Alabama has looked good all year,” wrote Mike Strain, of the Tulsa World, in an e-mail. “But after Saturday, I voted Alabama No. 1, because I think the Crimson Tide has produced more impressive performances than Florida so far.”

Georgia Tech made the biggest jump in the rankings this week, moving up eight spots to No. 11 after beating Virginia Tech 28-23.

The Hokies dropped 11 spots from No. 4 to 15. Ohio State also dropped 11 spots to 18.

The Buckeyes were upset 26-18 at Purdue.

Oregon is No. 12, followed by Penn State and Oklahoma State.

CHUCK

SHEPARD

■ Ironies: (1) A 77-year-old woman in Heaton Mersey, England, who was described by friends as an enthusiastic shopper whose home was crammed to the ceiling with purchases, died in January of natural causes, but rescuers made five passes through the clutter before locating her body under stacks of goods that had fallen on her. (2) A 45-year-old devout Catholic was killed recently in Vienna, Austria, shortly after a harrowing experience on a stuck elevator. The man had been so traumatized that, following his rescue, he went straight to the Weinhaus Church to give thanks.

However, as he approached the altar, an 850-pound stone pillar fell and crushed him.

■ "Pain is the sensation of weakness leaving the body," Phoenix "artist" Steve Haworth told a Phoenix New Times reporter in May 2001, while he was arranging scenes for associates of his Church of Body Modification, including a horizontal full-body suspension (hanging for five minutes by rings in body piercings); a tug of war (full-force pulling contest using a rope held taut through rings on various body piercings); free-moving implants just below the skin that appear to be, say, a living bracelet; and various body alterations such as "Vulcan" ears, a ribbed penis and a filleted male urethra. Haworth won't amputate anything, though (too "destructive," he said), thus displeasing his girlfriend, who wants to lose two toes in order to fit into smaller shoes.
