THE PROTECTING SMILES ISSUE

Dentist offers cash for candy

BY ELIZABETH KENIGSBERG Special to the Daily Press

DEFENDER OF TEETH: Dr. Kari Sakurai, a dentist who has been practicing in her Wilshire Boulevard office for more than 10 years, has teamed

WILSHIRE BLVD There’s a new tooth fairy in town, but she doesn’t want you to lose your teeth — in fact, she wants you to keep them and make sure they’re healthy.

Dr.Kari Sakurai,a dentist who has been practicing in her Wilshire Boulevard office for more than 10 years, has teamed up with Operation Gratitude in an effort to “get candy off the streets” and keep children’s mouths clean.

“Ditch the candy,” Sakurai said. “Visiting your dentist twice a year and brushing daily are great preventative measures, but doing away with excess sweets altogether would really give your teeth a healthy boost.”

This year, Sakurai will be trading candy for cash. Children around the neighborhood can come the day following Halloween, hand in their sweets gathered from trick-or-treating and get a dollar per every pound donated, in addition to a glow-in-the-dark electric toothbrush.

The money will come out of Sakurai’s own pocket, and the candy will then be shipped to troops overseas through Operation Gratitude, a non-profit organization based in Van Nuys.

“It’s just a huge success,” Carolyn Blashek, the founder of Operation Gratitude, said about the Halloween candy buyback. “Last year we got literally a ton of candy, maybe even more. This year I expect to get two tons.”

The Halloween candy buyback started three years ago with a dentist in Wisconsin,

up with Operation Gratitude in an effort to ‘get candy off the streets’ and keep children’s teeth healthy. Sakurai will give kids $1 for every pound of Halloween candy they bring in. The candy will be donated to troops overseas, who will then pass it on to children in Iraq and Afghanistan.

COMMUNITYPROFILES NATALIE DEWBERRY

Role model retires with pride

BY MELODY HANATANI Daily Press Staff Writer

SANTA MONICA BEACH Slowing her pace, the words of encouragement began flowing out of Officer Natalie Dewberry’s mouth, hoping to inspire a clearly exhausted young girl to finish the last leg of a three-mile-long bike ride.

The goal — an ice cream treat at the destination and the pride from completing a lengthy trek just weeks after taking off the training wheels.

“I’m tired,I’m dehydrated,” Lily Reynaldo said.

“You’re 8 years old,” Dewberry responded as she rode alongside Reynaldo. “You don’t know how to spell dehydrated.”

The two cyclists, who were riding as part of the Police Activities League’s Cycle Zone Program, finally arrived at their destination where the rest of their group awaited, all rising to a standing ovation to congratulate a young 8-year-old girl who knows no limits.

The August bike ride was one of those career-affirming moments for Dewberry, one on which she fondly recalls when reflecting on her 20-year-run with the Santa Monica Police Department from which she will retire in mid-December.

The officer, who works with children at the Police Activities League (PAL), which is a

Goldman wants Simpson’s ring

BY JOHN ROGERS Associated Press Writer

BATTLE IN THE AIR

Morgan Genser news@smdp.com St. Monica High School's Anthony Yoshinaga (left) makes a catch in the face of tough defense

by Bellarmine-Jefferson High School’s cornerback Phillip Diaz at Corsair Field on Friday night.

The Mariners lost the game, 0-33, sending the team to a 0-6 record on the season.

SANTA MONICA As O.J. Simpson sits in jail in Nevada, his Pro Football Hall of Fame ring has become the object of a custody battle in California, where a judge ordered Friday that a memorabilia dealer hand it over.

The dealer, Alfred Beardsley, is one of two men Simpson was convicted this month of robbing in a Las Vegas hotel room last year.

Attorneys representing Fred Goldman in his effort to collect his share of a $33.5 million wrongful death judgment say they have learned Simpson gave the ring to Beardsley sometime after the robbery.

Following a hearing that lasted no more than five minutes, Superior Court Judge Gerald Rosenberg ordered that Beardsley, 46, appear in his courtroom on Nov. 19 and produce the ring. He also ordered Simpson, who is in jail in Las Vegas awaiting sentencing, to not make any effort to dispose of the ring.

But Rosenberg also noted that getting Beardsley to court next month could be problematic. The memorabilia dealer is incarcerated at a state prison in Chino on a parole violation. He was convicted in 2003 of stalking a woman.

“How are you going to get him here?”

Rosenberg asked Goldman attorney Peter Haven.

“We’ll make the arrangements,” Haven replied.

Haven is one of two attorneys representing Goldman, the father of Ron Goldman, who was stabbed to death with Simpson’s ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson in Los

Angeles in 1994.

Simpson was acquitted of those killings but later held liable for the deaths by a civil court jury that ordered he pay the victims’ survivors $33.5 million.

Most of that judgment remains unpaid, but Fred Goldman has dedicated his life to making Simpson hand over as many of his assets as possible, saying it is the only way to achieve justice for his son. His attorneys believe the ring could be auctioned for as much as $50,000.

Neither Beardsley nor his attorney, Jack Neil Swickard, were in court Friday.

Swickard said by phone that he was visiting Beardsley in prison at the time and was unaware of the hearing.

“This is the first time I’ve heard about it,” he said. “I did hear something about a fracas about a ring, and I did talk to Alfred today, but we didn’t talk about a ring.”

Ronald Slates, the attorney who has represented Simpson in his battles with Goldman, told Rosenberg he has no idea where the ring is. He asked that he not be held responsible if Simpson does dispose of it, saying he is no longer in touch with him.

Goldman attorney David Cook said outside court that Clark County, Nev., District Attorney David Roger told him Beardsley has the ring. He said Roger, who prosecuted Simpson in the Las Vegas case, told him the memorabilia dealer was on a bus taking him back to jail when he boasted that Simpson gave it to him.

Roger has declined to comment until after Simpson is sentenced in December.

Simpson, 61, faces a maximum of life in prison.

Actors Guild requests mediator to resolve contract impasse THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES Screen Actors Guild leaders voted on Sunday to ask a federal mediator to step into stalemated contract negotiations with movie producers and if the mediated talks fail, to poll guild members whether to authorize a strike.

More than 96 percent of SAG’s National Board of Directors voted in favor of the measure.

“We hope mediation will help move this process forward. This action by the board demonstrates our commitment to bargain with the strength of our unified membership behind us,” said Screen Actors Guild National President Alan Rosenberg in a statement.

“The family that eats together stays together!”

SAG National Executive Director Doug Allen, who is also the chief negotiator, said the union’s number one goal remains securing a favorable contract without a strike.

Actors in prime-time television shows and movies have been working under the terms of a contract that expired June 30, in the hopes of avoiding a repeat of the 100-day

writers strike that ended in February. That strike cost the Los Angeles area economy an estimated $2.5 billion.

EDITOR IN CHIEF Kevin Herrera editor@smdp.com

Editor:

Bill Bauer’s compelling editorial column, in which he calls for radical changes to City Council, (City Council race is same-o, same-o,” page 4, Oct. 13) unfortunately neglected to endorse Susan Hartley. Susan is a longtime fighter for voters and residents in Santa Monica.

Her activities with the Airport Commission, her efforts to save our urban forest, and her numerous appearances in front of City Council have always been distinguished by a resolute dedication to the notion that the people of this community count — and that City Council should never forget its responsibilities to the folks that live here.

Our city has the voting population of a small town, but the problems and responsibilities of a big city. This is reflected in our enormous city budget, the size of our police force and the sheer number of daytime visitors to our community. In the process we are in grave danger of losing the quality of life that has blessed this town since its inception.

We need a City Council that can deal with big-city problems, but also attend to the specific needs of our residents and neighbors as well. I have observed Susan in action many, many times. She brings to the table the focused determination of a human-rights fighter on the national scene, with the attentive neighborliness of a small-town community builder. In the years that I have known Susan, she has always seemed to be fighting for the right things: cleaner air in our community, cleaner beaches, a healthier place to raise kids, and a firm but kindly approach to the problem of homelessness. These are the characteristics of an independent, talented and skilled home-grown community advocate, which is exactly what we need on City Council.

Several months ago I observed Susan in front of City Council, speaking on behalf of our urban forest. Many of the council members were paying no attention: laughing among themselves, pantomiming messages to friends in the audience, checking their e-mail and chatting. In the face of this behavior, Susan brought her presentation to a complete halt and told the City Council that she would proceed whenever they felt ready. That instantly caught the council’s attention — they started behaving, and she was able to continue.

Those of us who have appeared in front of City Council know exactly how meaningful this was. Susan is unafraid to speak truth to power, and that’s what we need in City Council today.

McCain is good for America Editor:

Economic concerns are on everyone’s mind as we head into perhaps the most crucial election cycle in our history. The question before us is which candidate has the knowledge and experience to lead the nation out of the current economic crisis.

The choice is clear. John McCain’s experience is unparalleled. McCain co-sponsored the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005. This bill would have created a regulatory and oversight committee to watch over Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae — the institutions whose collapse is at the heart of today’s economic crisis.

On May 26, 2006, John McCain addressed the floor of the Senate urging lawmakers to pass this bill.

Unfortunately, the bill was rejected overwhelmingly by the Democrats. Barack Obama did not support this bill.

In fact, he is second only to Sen. Chris Dodd in largest amount of lobbyist money accepted from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. John McCain is the candidate who will reform our government, keep taxes low, eliminate wasteful spending and enact policies to end our current economic and energy crises. Barack Obama wants to raise taxes, increase spending and continue the trend of corruption on Wall Street and Washington. This is unacceptable.

Stink fills the air and our mailboxes ANTI-MEASURE T ELECTION PROPAGANDA

is packed with bald-faced lies and fabrications.

Save Our City (SOC) opposes Measure T, the ballot measure that would restrict commercial development in the city for 15 years, and they’re running one of the most misleading, dishonest and offensive political campaigns I’ve seen in Santa Monica.

First of all, T isn’t just about development, it’s also about power. Santa Monicans for Renters’ Rights (SMRR) is the city’s political power gatekeeper. SMRR leaders constantly waltz with business/hotel/land use interests on a number of issues. For example, SMRR politicians court business interests by promulgating a laissez-faire position on development and traffic impacts in return for support and resources for their own agenda.

Residents aren’t invited to the dance.

Complaints about traffic and development have been ignored for decades. Planners and politicians refuse to adequately control development — especially commercial development, which has far exceeded the city’s own growth projections. Even the pending update to the city plan calls for accelerated residential and commercial development throughout the community — defying most of us who want a lid on growth and traffic.

Residents with upstart Santa Monica Coalition for a Livable City (SMCLC) drafted and qualified RIFT, the Resident’s Initiative to Fight Traffic (Measure T), for the ballot to put the brakes on commercial developments and traffic increases they create.

Local hotels and businesses, in and outof-town developers, land use firms and local power-players created SOC to defeat T and retain control. Entities benefiting financially from virtually unrestricted development (especially now with a pro-development planning commission seated) are pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into SOC’s coffers. This includes out-of-state developers and special interests — some with very large and controversial projects pending.

SOC’s co-chairs are SMRR Steering Committee member Judy Abdo and Planning Commission Chair Terry O’Day. And some SMRR leaders are working closely with SOC and its backers, including developers who’ve already destroyed much of the city’s rental housing.

Paradoxically, by opposing T, Renters’ Rights leader Abdo is doing the bidding of two developers with plans to demolish two large rent-controlled housing properties — all while an anti-T mailer featuring Abdo shrieks, “T will allow landlords to … replace affordable apartments with expensive condos.” Unbelievable!

Truth is increased commercial development accelerates housing demand, therefore affordable apartments and tenants are even more at risk.

Measure T doesn’t apply to residential

development. And, claiming commercial developers prevented from developing commercially will in turn evict renters, demolish apartments and build condos is pure rubbish and reprehensible. Abdo and O’Day know better.

The bald-faced lies are filling the air (and our mailboxes) this election. SOC’s hired Los Angeles-based public relations mudslingers are shoveling heavy B.S. and selling us out to the highest bidders. Next, they’ll be claiming T will cause cancer and global warming.

They’re hysterically predicting that T will reduce development fees and future city revenues. Mailers scream that schools will be “devastated” and city employees will lose jobs. It’s a pack of lies. Lost revenues, if any, would be inconsequential. Even if it were so, schools, critical city services and public safety would have as much chance of being cut as Paris Hilton has of winning an acting Oscar.

City Hall planners, politicians and bureaucrats oppose T because it dramatically limits how much development they can approve. Under T, larger commercial projects would need voter approval, not backroom, bureaucratic “OKs.” SOC has it backward when they incorrectly allege, “Reducing commercial development won’t reduce [future] traffic growth.” City Councilman Bobby Shiver said, when announcing his support for T, “It takes ‘common sense’ to conclude that more commercial development will generate more traffic.”

The truth is, “the less commercial development increases, the less traffic will increase.” It’s a no-brainer.

State Sen. Sheila Kuehl was quoted in a recent SOC flyer, “It will not reduce traffic. T is bad for renters … will put working families at risk … jeopardize our already diminished supply of affordable housing … and force cuts in vital services.”

Sounds like she talked to Abdo and was badly mislead. If Sen. Kuehl analyzes issues in Sacramento this way, it’s no wonder California is in so much trouble. I’m thinking Kuehl and other misinformed SOC shills should realize they’ve been duped by now.

SOC is bamboozling unions, civic, teachers, school and political organizations with outlandish prognostications of doom and gloom that defy logic and honesty. Shriver is right. “Saying T would hurt future revenues for police, fire and schools was ‘cheap scare tactics.’”

I’m betting on election day, an overwhelming number of Santa Monica voters will eschew the baloney and manipulative mailers, reject the absurd and phony prattle by gullible education and community leaders and ignore the nattering, chattering politicians who think serving their constituency is heresy. Voting “Yes on T” will control our future growth and reduce traffic impacts.

A shadow looms

Building to a climax Measure T, which comes before voters in November, aims to put a yearly 75,000-squarefoot cap on commercial development. Backers say it would fight traffic and slow rampant growth while opponents say that it goes too far and is misguided.

So this week’s Q-Line question asks: What will you vote on Measure T and why?

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

emergency, activating COG procedures and throwing the country into martial law with the shadow government at the helm. The administration will then round up the “dangerous” Americans listed in Main Core and place them in the internment camps.

While this may sound farfetched, it is far from improbable. Indeed, the Department of Homeland Security awarded a former Halliburton subsidiary $385 million in 2006 to build a massive system of internment camps on U.S. soil capable of detaining hundreds of thousands of people.

When Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) read a story widely circulated in the U.S. press in 2003 entitled “Foundations Are in Place for Martial Law in the United States,” he became so alarmed at the prospect of detention camps for Americans that he railed against it from the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.

McDermott’s fears take on greater urgency with the recent news that military personnel have, for the first time ever, been deployed on American soil. What this means is that the military will now be involved in domestic police activities.

This brings us back to the dangers posed by this so-called shadow government, which already has the technology (the Main Core database), the structure (internment camps), and the muscle (domestic military force) in place for its authoritarian coup. All that is now required is a trigger.

Given this bleak scenario, one would be justified in wondering whether anything can really be done about these ominous developments. At the very least, COG plans should ensure that constitutional government lives through a crisis. To accomplish this, the planning cannot be left to the executive branch. The executive branch cannot be trusted to restrain its own powers and restore a constitutional government following a national emergency.

As Christopher Ketcham observed, “When COG plans are shrouded in extreme secrecy, effectively unregulated by Congress or the courts, and married to an overreaching surveillance state, even sober observers must weigh whether the protections put in place by the federal government are becoming more dangerous to America than any outside threat.”

president will inherit more than a financial catastrophe when he assumes office. He will also inherit a shadow government — an authoritarian regime 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 is all part of the government’s Continuity of Government (COG) plan, which was laid out in two May 2007 directives issued by President Bush. These directives, which do not need congressional approval, provide that the president (or his appointees) will take control of the government in the event of a “national emergency” — loosely defined to mean “any incident” that disrupts governmental functions or “severely affects the U.S. population.” This could mean anything from a terrorist attack to a hurricane. Particularly significant is the absence of a plan to repopulate or reconvene Congress or the Supreme Court, which would give unchecked executive, legislative and judicial power to the executive branch.

For all intents and purposes, with the Constitution effectively suspended and nonelected officials in charge, this will place the nation under a military dictatorship.

However, a recent article by Christopher Ketcham in Radar magazine suggests that the government’s plans don’t end with martial law. Indeed, Ketcham believes that the government also has plans to imprison hundreds of thousands of “potentially suspect” Americans in detention camps.

In “The Last Roundup,” Ketcham describes a program created by the Department of Homeland Security which relies on a database “of Americans who might be considered potential threats in the event of a national emergency. Sources familiar with the program say that the government’s data gathering has been overzealous and probably conducted in violation of federal law and the protection from unreasonable search and seizure granted by the Fourth Amendment.”

Referred to by the code name Main Core, this database reportedly contains the names of Americans who, “often for the slightest and most trivial reason, are considered unfriendly, and who, in a time of panic, might be incarcerated. The database can identify and locate perceived ‘enemies of the state’ almost instantaneously.” Thus, under Ketcham’s scenario, if a terrorist attack occurs, the president will declare a national

When cash gets tight, nannies go

BY MEGAN K. SCOTT Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK Casey Rishavy has contacted agencies, posted ads on Web sites and approached families she sees with small children on the beach.

But no one seems to be looking for a fulltime, live-in nanny.

“It’s very frustrating,” said Rishavy, 20, of San Diego, Calif. “Even agencies are not calling back.”

With child-care the second biggest expense after mortgage payments, many families are looking for cheaper alternatives, trading the nanny for day care, sharing babysitters or not going out much at all.

Wendy Pierce, who owns Loving Nannies and Nanny Care in the San Diego, Calif. area, said she has at least 300 nannies who are looking for work. Shannon Pitts, CEO of InteliMark, which runs GreatAuPair, has 17,000 nannies and 6,000 families. And Don Dolan, who owns Kensington Nanny & Home Services with his wife in Valrico, Fla.,

said he has placed only two nannies with families in the past six months.

“It’s a good industry if the economy is booming,” said Dolan, who took out a second mortgage to start the business last year and is now facing bankruptcy. “Then people have more disposable income and are more inclined to get a nanny.”

But the economy is not booming, which means parents are re-evaluating their childcare needs.

While nannies are often associated with an upper-class lifestyle, many families who use nannies are dual income professionals, said Sharon Graff-Radell, owner of TLC For Kids in St. Louis. She said there are more than 1 million U.S. families employing nannies.

Nannies can make between $450 and $750 a week, and in some cases, parents cover the cost of health insurance, she said.

“There are those upper-crust families,” said Pitts. “They are status quo. But the majority of people are looking at their situation and saying we need to tighten things up and what can we do without right now.”

Nikki Maxwell, 39, a mother of three in North Hills, Calif., said she could no longer afford her live-in “manny,” who had been with the family for five years.

She and her husband, a grant writing consultant and a video game writer respectively, recently hit career road blocks. Her husband suffered when the writers strike hit and Hollywood writers took jobs in the video game industry. She lost contracts when the economy started to change.

“I can’t support a nanny, or even at this point a part-time babysitter or a child care center,” she said.

Many parents are finding themselves in similar situations, as the price of child care rises faster than the average rate of inflation.

The average price of full-time care for an infant in a center was as high as $14,591 a year in 2007, according to the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies. For a 4-year-old in a center, parents paid up to $10,787 a year for fulltime center care.

Pierce said many of the families that sign up with Loving Nannies are unable to pay

much, offering as little as $8 or $9 an hour.

She often has 20 to 30 nannies competing for one gig. Some are able to take less; but others aren’t.

Debra Segal, 44, a nanny in Silver Spring, Md., said many of the families that contact her are not able to meet her $700-a-week salary requirement.

“That’s what I need to live,” she said. “Not to get rich. But to live.”

TLC for Kids has seen increased interest in cheaper options like shared care and its Mommy Nanny service, where the nanny brings her own child to work. A Mommy Nanny’s full-time salary is on average 20 percent less a week.

Some parents are even taking their infants to work, said Carla Moquin, President of the Parenting in the Workplace Institute, which counts more than 100 companies that allow babies up to 6 months or 8 months. Others are switching to part-time nannies or signing up with babysitting services.

But even that is being used more for emergencies than for regular outings, said Michael Cravens, CEO of BabySitters.com.

Frugal parents can still be fabulous

BY MEGAN K. SCOTT Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK Children may be a blessing, but they can also leave you broke.

Middle-income families will spend $204,060 on feeding, housing and schooling a baby born in 2007 until his or her 18th birthday, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture — a number that doesn’t include designer clothes and the latest gizmos.

In these tough economic times, many parents are looking to cut the cost of child-rearing. But how do you save money without shortchanging the kids?

Here are some tips for being frugal but totally cool parents: SET UP A REGULAR, ROTATING CAR POOL.

The more parents, the more gas savings, said Bonnie Harris, author of “Confident Parents, Remarkable Kids: 8 Principles for Raising Kids You’ll Love to Live With.” She suggests involving at least one other parent for pick-up and drop-off at day-care and school, as well as for extracurricular activities.

BUY USED.

Take your kids to Goodwill, Salvation Army or a consignment shop. On everyday clothes like T-shirts, shirts, athletic shorts, sweatpants and jeans, you can shave 90 percent off your clothes bill, said Harris.

BE CREATIVE.

Moms Randi Zuckerwise Madrid and Danielle Klein of New York City created their own music class for babies.

Participants pay $20 for 8 classes to cover the cost of tambourines, bells and shakers. Klein and Madrid download music to an iPod. Music classes in the area can run about $300 for a session of 8 to 12 classes.

Kate Ward, online director for TheBump.com, mashes blueberries, avocados and sweet potatoes for her 8-monthold. “It’s good too because you can adjust the texture,” she said. “It’s also healthier and definitely cheaper.” Madrid uses the remaining apple-y water after steaming and pureeing apples for juice. It’s cheap and has less sugar than regular juice.

GO TO THE LIBRARY.

You can check out books, magazines and DVDs for free.

Libraries also have programs to keep children entertained, such as story time and puppet shows.

RECYCLE CLOTHES.

It’s a time investment (all that laundering) and an initial monetary investment (you have to purchase the cloth diapers), but it can save you money in the long run, said Ward.

Lisa Knight, author of “The Frugal Momma” blog, said she recycles old adult clothes for her children: jeans into jumpers, skirts or totes, T-shirts or polos into shorts for play or sleeping. She said they require minimal skill (straight line sewing) and extra materials, such as elastic for waist bands and buttons for jumper straps.

HAND IT DOWN.

SHARE TUNES.

Hand me downs are coming back into fashion, said Ward.

“Babies stop using things so quickly, there’s really no reason not to pass things around,” she said. Use the Freecycle Network (freecycle.org) to give and get clothes and baby furniture for free.

Have your kids swap iPods with a friend for a day or two rather than download new music from iTunes, said Julie Edelman, lifestyle expert and author of “The Ultimate Accidental Housewife: Your Guide to a Clean-Enough House.”

TALK TO THE KIDS.

GIVE UP SOMETHING.

Have an honest conversation with your children about “wants” versus “needs,” said Amy Tiemann, author of “Mojo Mom.” Make it a point of pride rather than embarrassment to spend only what you can afford, she said.

Have each family member give up something that costs money for a week, said Edelman, such as shopping, texting or purchasing magazines. Make sure you do it, too.

TRY CLOTH DIAPERS.

HOLD A FAMILY GARAGE SALE. CALL MOM.

Enlist the help of a relative to help with child care duties, said Marcelo. “Parents should still plan to pay a fee, but it can be much less when a family member is willing and able to help out,” she said.

TRADE SERVICES.

Amber Lesovoy, a mother of two in Kernersville, N.C., gives horseback riding lessons for child-care. A neighbor trades child-care services for chicken and eggs from a local family.

SHARE. AS IN BABY SITTERS.

SAVE THE GOOD STUFF FOR NIGHT.

A tip from Sheila Lirio Marcelo, CEO of Care.com: Team up with neighboring parents and share a sitter. Most providers prorate their fees according to the number of chil-

Madrid uses high quality diapers at night, and a lesser quality diaper during the day when she’s changing her daughter every couple of hours.

Save half the money and do something with the rest, said Edelman. Make the kids part of the process to teach them money management.

PACKAGE FOOD YOURSELF.

Instead of buying prepackaged snack items for kids, but their favorite snacks in bulk and package them in sandwich bags, said Mary Hickey, senior articles editor at Parents magazine.

MAKE IT A DAY DATE.

Go out during the day rather than at night, said Hickey.

You can hire a younger more inexpensive baby sitter because you won’t have to worry about the sitter being at your home at night and putting the kids in the bath and to bed, she said.

DO THE BUZZ.

If you have boys, purchase electric hair clippers and cut their hair yourself, said Harris. Make sure the haircut kit comes with good scissors, clippers, a comb, oil, and length and blending guides. The savings is $120 an year.

Considering Filing for Bankruptcy?

PERHAPS THE ULTIMATE “ALTERNATIVE

to the alternative,” the LED (light-emitting diode) light bulb may well dethrone the compact fluorescent (CFL) as king of the green lighting choices. But it has a way to go yet in terms of both affordability and brightness.

LEDs have been used widely for decades in other applications — forming the numbers on digital clocks, lighting up watches and cell phones and, when used in clusters, illuminating traffic lights and forming the images on large outdoor television screens.

Until recently LED lighting has been impractical to use for most other everyday applications because it is built around costly semiconductor technology. But the price of semiconductor materials has dropped in recent years, opening the door for some exciting changes in energy-efficient, green friendly lighting options.

According to HowStuffWorks.com, LED bulbs are lit solely by the movement of electrons. Unlike incandescents, they have no filament that will burn out; and unlike CFLs, they contain no mercury or other toxic substances. Proponents say LEDs can last some 60 times longer than incandescents and 10 times longer than CFLs. And unlike incandescents, which generate a lot of waste heat, LEDs don’t get especially hot and use a much higher percentage of electricity for directly generating light.

But as with early CFLs, LED bulbs are not known for their brightness. According to a January 2008 article in Science Daily, “Because of their structure and material, much of the light in standard LEDs becomes trapped, reducing the brightness of the light and making them unsuitable as the main lighting source in the home.” LED makers get around this problem in some applications by clustering many small LED bulbs together in a single casing to concentrate the light emitted. But such LED “bulbs” still don’t generate light much brighter than a 35-watt incandescent, much too little light for reading or other focused tasks.

If LEDs are going to replace incandescents and CFLs, manufacturers will have to make them brighter. EarthLED is lighting the way with its EvoLux and ZetaLux bulbs,

BRIGHT FUTURE: LED bulbs have not been known for their brightness, but manufacturers are working hard to change that. EarthLED is lighting the way with its EvoLux and ZetaLux bulbs, pictured here, which deliver the equivalent of 100-watt and 50-60 watt incandescents.

which use multiple LEDs in a single casing to generate light. The EvoLux delivers light equal to that of a 100watt incandescent, the company says. But the $80/bulb price tag may be tough to swallow. The ZetaLux, which retails for $49.99, delivers light equivalent to a 50- or 60-watt incandescent, will last 50,000 hours and costs only $2/yearly to run.

Other bulb makers are working on similar designs for high-powered LED bulbs, hoping that an increase in availability will help spur demand, which will in turn lower prices across the board. Until then, consumers can find LED bulbs suitable for secondary and mood lighting purposes in many hardware and big box stores. C. Crane’s 1.3watt LED bulb, for example, generates as much light as a 15-watt incandescent bulb.

SWEET TARGET: Dr. Kari Sakurai, a local dentist, is planning to buy back Halloween candy.

Candy sent to troops overseas FROM CANDY PAGE 1 and has since expanded nationally. Blashek believes sending candy to troops not only gives them a reminder of home, but can also “help save lives.”

“On top of giving troops that feel-good feeling of home, we’ve learned that the troops use what we send as gifts to children in communities they’re controlling in Iraq and Afghanistan,” she said. “It has helped build trust, and the troops feel that giving out gifts we send can help save lives.”

Sakurai isn’t the only one worried about sugar intake and what it can do to a kid’s smile.

Andrea Campos, a Santa Monica resident, strictly controls the amount of sweets her kids consume.

“We only let [our children] have two pieces of candy on Halloween night,” Campos said. “Candy’s a privilege, and we also want to control their sugar intake.”

Rather than going door-to-door, Veona Rogers, a Los Angeles resident, and her sons walk from an annual party in their grandmother’s garage over to the front door where they’re handed fruit snacks, raisins and toys.

Rogers said she likes to know how much and what her children are eating.

Feds asked to step in FROM LABOR PAGE 3 would like to close the SAG contract this year, but SAG negotiators must remain realistic in view of the grim economic climate.

“There is simply no justification for SAG to expect a deal that is in excess of what the other Guilds negotiated in better economic times,” the AMPTP statement said. “ No matter what SAG does—whether it be authorizing a strike or following a different approach—it will not change the harsh reality that currently confronts our industry.”

The actors guild wants union coverage of all shows made for the Internet, and residual payments for actors on made-for-Internet shows. It also demands protections for actors during work stoppages.

“Times have changed,” Rogers said as she played with her sons at Douglas Park. “You can’t trust the candy people are handing out, and it’s also just too much sugar.”

Adrianna Crovo, a student at HarvardWestlake, said she and her friends like to go out trick-or-treating just for the sake of dressing up and walking around the neighborhood, and she likes the idea of giving her candy away.

“I don’t go [trick-or-treating] for the candy, I don’t need it,” Crovo said. “I’d donate it [to Operation Gratitude], not for the money, but because it’s for a good cause.”

Sakurai and volunteers will collect the candy at Pacific View Smile Center at 2811 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 590 on Saturday, Nov. 1 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., where there will also be a raffle for an iPod shuffle. Those interested in assisting with the candy buyback can visit doctorsakurai.com for more information.

“I hand out toothbrushes at my own door [during Halloween night], and I will be bringing my daughters to the buyback” Sakurai said. “Kids can still have all of the fun of trick-or-treating, and now their piggy banks will benefit as well.” news@smpd.com

The alliance has stuck by a final offer it made June 30, which it said mirrored deals accepted by directors, a smaller actors union called the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, and writers following their strike.

The two sides met for 44 days of formal negotiations and failed to come to an agreement.

The SAG resolution “authorizes a referendum and accompanying educational information be sent to the members requesting their authorization for the National Board to call a strike” if the Negotiating Committee deems that talks have failed. The board also voted to add four new members to the Negotiating Committee.

If 75 percent of SAG’s 120,000 members vote in favor of a labor action, it would then be up to the national negotiating committee to authorize the strike.

PAL officer receives award based on work with local boys and girls FROM CP PAGE 1 free afterschool program for kids between the ages of 6-17, was recently named as one of the “Outstanding Women Leaders” by the Commission on the Status of Women, recognized for serving as a positive role model for young girls and boys. The awards are presented annually to women who have helped improve the lives of women and girls in the city.

The commission also honored Ellen Khokha, the executive director of The Growing Place, Cory Rytterager, who works in child abuse and domestic violence for the SMPD, and Cristina Collazos, a college student who emigrated from Spain in the fourth grade and volunteered with the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Monica.

For Dewberry, the past three years at PAL has been all about the kids, serving at times as their friend, mentor, disciplinarian and provider, affectionately given the nickname “The Bank of Dewberry.”

One of her favorite stories to tell is about how Reynaldo, a spunky and determined elementary school student, wanted to learn how to ride a bike in order to join the Cycle Zone Program rides, which was open to kids ages 10 and up.

A few weeks before the big ride, Reynaldo approached Dewberry about learning how to ride a bike, asking the officer if she could spare a few afternoons to play instructor.

In just 30 minutes, Reynaldo learned how to command a two-wheeler. After a couple of more lessons, which consisted of rides around the block, Reynaldo was ready to join the program.

The ride begins at PAL and heads down to the beach bike path at which point the cyclists make their way north to a concession stand where they conclude with an ice cream treat. Concerned because of Reynaldo’s young age and the dangers of being on the street for an inexperienced rider, Dewberry had the girl meet the group at the bike path.

After struggling through the last part of the ride, Reynaldo had no trouble doing the trip back, energized by the ice cream.

“Lily stayed with the group and left me,” Dewberry said. “She was excellent on the way back.”

Judy La Patka, a volunteer at PAL who nominated Dewberry for the award, said the officer is known for her generosity to the kids, feeding them dinners on the weeknights, refurbishing and giving away stolen bikes that have been recovered by the SMPD, and playing Santa during a gift drive every year.

PAL is the recipient of Winterlit’s “Best Gift Ever” challenge where kids write a letter listing their ideal present and a donor fulfills that wish. Dewberry takes the unanswered letters and goes on a shopping trip for the kids, La Patka said.

“She also brings the kids change and dollars and they ask her for money for the (vending) machines,” La Patka added. “They ask me and I say, ‘I’m not the Bank of Dewberry.’”

An Illinois native, Dewberry moved to the west coast shortly after graduating from Stephens College, drawn to Southern California for the weather.

“I see the Rose Bowl and I’m buried in 3 feet of snow in Chicago,” she said. “I didn’t know anyone and my family said ‘she’ll be

back’ and the weather has never disappointed me.”

Following a short-lived stay at Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles, a job selling college textbooks and work as a pharmaceutical rep, Dewberry was recruited to give law enforcement a try by her aunt, former SMPD Capt. Jacqueline Seabrooks, who is now the chief of the Inglewood Police Department.

Though she had never considered police work as a profession, Dewberry did come from a family with a history in law enforcement, including uncles who served on the Indiana and Illinois State Police forces and the Santa Monica Police Department. “(Seabrooks) said you don’t have to stay, just try it,” Dewberry said. “Twenty years later, I’m still here.”

It was a perfect career match for Dewberry who enjoyed interacting with people and working outside of the office.

Officer Natalie Dewberry Her career has included various jobs with the department, including serving as a bicycle officer, training rookies, writing grants for traffic safety and educational programs, and finally, as a mentor at PAL where she was asked by another officer to join.

“Basically I’m here for the kids, as a resource for the kids and parents,” she said.

“My primary goal is to make them feel safe.”

La Patka said that Dewberry’s impact on the program and the children is clearly evident, pointing to the number of kids — 40 — who came to watch the officer receive her award last week. As a token of gratitude, the children created a yearbook for their mentor and signed a card, filled with expressions of thanks combined with regret over Dewberry’s retirement.

Dewberry said she was most surprised by a message written by a teenager whom she gives a ride home every weeknight. The rides are usually silent, except for the sound from the radio. The teenager’s message was, however, lengthy, talking about how much those rides meant to him.

“I deal with these kids every day,” she said. “I didn’t know they felt this way.”

Dewberry said she isn’t sure what her next steps will be. She’s just looking forward to waking up and seeing what the world holds for her.

La Patka recalls a conversation she had with Dewberry the night of the awards ceremony when she remarked that the officer not only mentored the kids, but also showed them not to fear law enforcement.

“Whenever they meet a policeman for the rest of their lives, they’ll say ‘I had a friend, and she was a policewoman,’” La Patka said.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. The power was out at Ralph Wilson Stadium, the play clock wasn’t working, leaving Kawika Mitchell so out of sorts that he tripped over himself and fell while dropping back to cover a pass.

That was the first quarter. By the fourth, the Buffalo Bills linebacker had picked himself up to provide all the spark his team needed, helping secure a 23-14 win over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.

Mitchell had a key interception and also forced a fumble in the final 4 minutes to lift an injury-depleted defense, and allow the AFC East-leading Bills (5-1) to show that they are, in fact, for real.

“We’re building, that’s for sure,” Mitchell said. “It’s definitely a big win to get against a team like that, it means a lot to our team. I think we’re moving in the right direction.”

Buffalo matched its best start since 1995, and came out of its bye week by bouncing back from a dreadful 41-17 loss at Arizona.

The defense — minus defensive end Aaron Schobel (left foot) and cornerback Terrence McGee (left knee) — kept in check Philip Rivers, the league’s most efficient passer. Buffalo quarterback Trent Edwards showed he’s recovered from a concussion he sustained against Arizona, by going 25-of-30 for 261 yards and a touchdown, while directing an offense that put up 370 yards.

And it all happened during a game in which the power was out for most of the first half inside the stadium after three helium balloons became entangled in power lines across the street from the facility

“Some guy with a beer said, ‘Why don’t you pay your electricity bills?’” Bills owner Ralph Wilson said with a laugh. “I said, ‘I knew it would be my fault.’”

Mitchell turned the game around by intercepting a pass from Rivers a yard inside the end zone to thwart a potential go-ahead score with 3:17 left. The turnover led to Rian Lindell’s 44-yard field goal, which put the Bills up 23-14.

Then, on the Chargers’ next possession, Mitchell came flying in from the left side and hit Rivers, forcing a fumble, which the Bills recovered to run out the clock.

For San Diego (3-4), the loss was the latest in a string of inconsistent performances for a team that looks nothing like the one that reached the AFC Championship game a year ago. The Chargers have plenty to think about while boarding a trans-Atlantic flight headed for London, where they will play New Orleans at Wembley Stadium next weekend.

Rivers took responsibility after he committed three turnovers, including two fumbles, which directly resulted in Buffalo scoring 10 points.

“Rightfully so, I should shoulder a lot of the blame,” Rivers said. “I was playing pretty good, and then you have three turnovers and it kills you. I hope it never happens again.”

The turning point was the interception, with the Chargers facing first-and-goal at the 9. Upon taking the snap, Rivers never looked away from tight end Antonio Gates, who was cutting into the end zone on the right side, making it easy for Mitchell to jump the route.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ You could see quite a difference in your focus and attention. Might you prefer to daydream? Only, that will not get your to-do list done. Focus on one item at a time, and stop worrying that you are acting like a turtle and not a hare. Tonight: Happily go home.

★★★ Take a stand and be willing to let others put in their two cents, even if you don't want to hear what is being shared. Energy pushes others as well as you. Tonight: Easy does it

★★★★★ Speak to a necessary person, and follow through with care by confirming your discussion. Some people might not be focused.

Though you might want to find the best solution possible, you will need to reach out for others. Tonight: Hanging out is fun.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ Study and focus on one matter at a time. Finances flux, although you will get a handle on them if you are methodical and a little more careful. Certainly a partner has the inverse attitude of yours. Tonight: Balance your checkbook

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★★ With so much zoom and get-up-andgo, you might want to try a different approach.

Communication is stifled; it could be easier if a partner or someone else could start talks. Be sensitive to other opinions. Tonight: As you like

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★ Right now, back off, and you'll come up with answers. Your fire and energy allow you greater freedom and energy if you stay untangled from others, maintaining a clear sense of direction. Tonight: Some extra R and R

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★★ Aim for more of what you want, especially in a meeting. Focus on reality, yet make a group effort. What you can accomplish could stun even you. Tonight: Only what or whom you want

Happy birthday

★★★★★ Reach out for experts and seek more information. You might think you have your ducks in a row, but events in the near future could say otherwise if you do not tighten up a plan. Consider a seminar or trip. Tonight: Read between the lines

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ Work with a key individual, and you'll achieve better results than you initially conceived. You will be challenged by a financial issue, though you can take the risk and land on your feet. Tonight: Work as a team

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★★ Defer to others, even though you might have the right answer. Though you might seek out someone at a distance, you could find a discussion difficult with that person. Tonight: Sort through offers

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ Little gets accomplished if you remain responsive to others. Ask questions when someone starts acting like a bully and takes charge. You will instinctively know which way to go. Get necessary projects done. Tonight: Put up your feet and rethink your day

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ Your creativity flourishes if you allow it to. You have a strong emotional sense as to what to do. A partner might be a bit tight, but he or she can be helpful if you encourage it. Together you make a good team, a mix of emotions and intellect. Tonight: Let your hair down.

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

You want to get past problems quickly this year. You will have a tendency to spend too much in order to make your perspective and value felt or take hold. Family, real estate and domestic matters are highlighted. You gain in this area, though you could be overwhelmed frequently. If you are single, you will meet people in your day-to-day travels or through your work. 2009 opens up new doors. If you are attached, together you focus on a key commitment, and you will become closer. CANCER pushes you into the limelight.

Sudoku

By Justin Borus and Andrew Feinstein

Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column, and 3x3 block. Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle. The difficulty level ranges from ★ (easiest) to ★★★★★ (hardest).

The Meaning of Lila

By John Forgetta & L.A. Rose

King Features Syndicate

GETTING STARTED There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing. Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

Strange Brew

Speed Bump

By Dave Coverly

CHUCK

SHEPARD

■ Wendy Brown, 33, was charged with identity theft in Green Bay, Wis., in September after she enrolled at Ashwaubenon High School pretending to be her 15year-old daughter (who actually lives in Nevada). Though Brown has a "history" of identify-theft issues (according to a school official who spoke with Brown's mother), one motive in this case was to fulfill a longtime dream of becoming a cheerleader, and she had been attending practices and had made the squad, according to school officials, even though some people had noticed that she looked a little older than the other girls.

■ Entrepreneurs: (1) Sarah Lavely opened Sarah's Smash Shack in downtown San Diego this summer, inviting people who are angry at someone or something to slam ceramic plates, vases and glass pieces (such as framed photographs of an ex-) against walls in special rooms (15 minutes, 15 plates, $45). (2) Australian Wool Innovation recently introduced, for the Japanese executives' market, a washable business suit that can be cleaned in an ordinary shower and will dry overnight, virtually wrinkle-free (and, in a pinch, can even be worn in the shower).

TODAY IN HISTORY During World War II, Gen. Douglas MacArthur stepped ashore at Leyte in the Philippines, 2Ω years after he'd said, "I shall return."

Maria Theresa became ruler of Austria, Hungary and Bohemia upon the death of her father, Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI. The U.S. Senate ratified the Louisiana Purchase.

A joint commission ruled in favor of the United States in a boundary dispute between the District of Alaska and Canada.

The House UnAmerican Activities Committee opened hearings into alleged Communist influence and infiltration within the American motion picture industry.
