Vikings claim late victory over Beverly Hills

BY WILL WEISS Special to the Daily Press

BEVERLY HILLS The Santa Monica High

Violinist on the rise

School Vikings rode a roller coaster of points and emotions to victory over the rival Normans in Beverly Hills on Friday night, sealing the 28-27 win with a finalsecond touchdown and point after.

And like all great roller coaster rides, it started with a frightful plummet.

In their initial offensive drive, the Vikings struggled, converting for two first downs before collapsing and surrendering

possession on a fumble. With fewer than four minutes left in the first period, Samohi was backed down to the red zone when Beverly Hills junior wide receiver A. J. Fortier clinched the first touchdown catch, putting the Normans up 7-0.

But the Vikings turned the opposing momentum in their favor immediately, charging up the field in a series of first down plays, aided along the way by big plays from senior tight end Luke Zelon, senior wide receiver Mike Smith, a bit of pass interference by the Normans and a 22-yard scramble by senior quarterback Garrett

Safron. On first and goal at the four yard line sophomore running back Kori Garcia mashed it in, bouncing off of two potential tacklers for a touchdown with 2:15 still left in the first quarter.

With things tied up, both teams looked well-matched for the remainder of the first half. Each threatened the other with promising offensive drives, but ultimately faltered; Safron struggled to connect with receivers on crucial passes and the Normans were held up by penalties and an intercepSEE SAMOHI PAGE 9

DOWNTOWN When you think about it, life is a series of forks in the road. They could be as trivial as where to go for lunch or as daunting as whether or not to move halfway across the world for employment. For violinist Jennifer Argenti, these “sliding doors” are key to finding her way.

“Every decision that you make could change the course of the rest of your life,” Argenti said.

The Santa Monica resident will be releasing her debut solo album Nov. 10, appropriately titled “Sliding Doors.” The music comes directly from Argenti’s most recent serendipitous decision.

“It was late and I was tired, but there was something telling me … ‘just go to this party,’” Argenti said.

After she arrived at her friends’ gathering, Argenti was convinced to jam with a pianist by the name of Aime Caron.

“Three minutes later we were still playing. When we were done, we looked up and everyone in the room was just staring at us,” Argenti recalled.

From that moment on, Argenti and Caron knew that they needed to write music together.

Argenti’s first sliding door moment came while growing up in Baltimore, Md. Everyone in her family played music, and as the youngest of four girls, Argenti was no exception. At the age of 6, she began playing piano, adding violin a year later. By the time

Veterans heal through sewing

BY KEVIN HERRERA Editor in Chief

WESTWOOD When Vietnam veteran Fred L. Stanley visits the 99 Cent Store, he does with pride for he carries with him a reusable grocery bag. Not only does he feel good about protecting the environment by using fewer plastic bags, Stanley also loves the attention he gets when people ask him about his bag, which features the logo of the city of Santa Monica.

That’s because Stanley and his co-workers with the Veterans Administration made the bag and 1,500 others like it for City Hall as part of the Compensated Work Therapy (CWT) Program at the Westwood VA, a program set up decades ago to assist disabled veterans on their road to recovery by teaching them new skills and allowing them to once again become part of something greater than themselves.

“The camaraderie and the chance to be able to come to a place and do something constructive instead of something destructive, accomplishing a particular task, that is rewarding and it helps you get through,” Stanley, who suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), said Thursday as he sat in front of his sewing machine, black and gold cloth labels to his side that would soon be attached to military medical equipment.

Stanley and his five co-workers are contract employees of Special Operations Technologies, a company run by veterans in Carson that specializes in military gear. Each veteran in the therapy program is paid a rate for every item they produce. Unlike jobs in the private sector, there is no overwhelming pressure to produce. The program is therapy Brandon Wise brandonw@smdp.com

Environmental group marks 20 years of greening Hollywood SANDY COHEN AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES Norman Lear and his wife, Lyn, helped create the Environmental Media Association to encourage Hollywood to spread the word about going green.

Now, 20 years later, the group counts the Endangered Species Coalition, the Alaska Rainforest Campaign, the Sierra Club and the World Wildlife Fund among its partners.

It has been honored by the White House and praised by Al Gore — years before “An Inconvenient Truth.”

The group has met with hundreds of

Hollywood writers, directors and producers, helping them incorporate green themes into their films and TV shows and encouraging them to make those productions more environmentally friendly.

“We thought the world didn’t need another environmental organization so much as the environmental organizations needed a straight line to writers, producers, directors and media to encourage them to tell stories about environmental problems and model the behavior,” Lear said.

Though the group and its influence have grown greatly over the past two decades, Lear said there is much more work to be done.

Bill Bauer

A teacher’s suggestion Dear school board members, I had an idea I wanted to run by you. I am a kindergarten teacher at Point Dume Marine Science School and I used to be a teacher at SMASH. As you can see, I have worked at a small school for my entire SMMUSD career. I am a big fan of the small school. I consider them my second family. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for my school to help it be as successful as it can be.

To that end, I had an idea. I appreciate that the district is in a financial pinch and I thought of a win-win scenario that would benefit the small schools in the district.

I am proposing that central office administrators conduct their duties, most of which, I believe, are done by phone or e-mail, at the small school sites on the days when the site administrator is off campus. I am actually proposing more than that. I am proposing that a central office administrator create a working relationship with a small school so that they not only have someone who can be extra support on campus but also someone who is an advocate for the school throughout the district.

Dr. Susan Samarge-Powell has done a wonderful job of filling in for Chi Kim at Point Dume. She was here when Ms. Kim was on maternity leave and she has been here during Ms. Kim’s Monday’s at home. We appreciate knowing Susan, and Susan knowing us. We have a real working relationship that will hopefully continue to develop.

I am often the “administrator in charge” when Ms. Kim is not there and I have truly appreciated having Dr. Samarge-Powell on campus so that I can focus on my classroom students and not have to worry about the other things that occur on a daily basis at a small school.

I think that my colleagues at the other small schools in the district would enjoy the same kind of relationship.

I have put together a suggested list of administrators and sites that might create a compatible relationship together, which would benefit students, teachers and the entire learning community of the district’s small schools and not cost one penny. I would be happy to forward my suggested list to anyone at the district office.

Thank you for your consideration to this matter.

ODDS OF A CHILD BECOMING A ODDS OF A CHILD PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE: BEING DIAGNOSED 1 in 16,000 WITH AUTISM: 1 in 166

Ross Furukawa

District mulls tricky civility policy A FEW WEEKS AGO, I WAS TIPPED OFF

about a move by Santa Monica/Malibu Unified School District Superintendent Tim Cuneo to weaken the present system of citizen District Advisory Committees. Their members include parents, community members and district staff and who report to and advise the Board of Education directly.

Cuneo recommended reducing the size of the approximately eight DACs from 20 members to 11 members and instituting term limits to promote turnover. Cuneo also proposed new policy allowing the superintendent to form DACs that report directly to him.

Parents were not pleased. Some viewed it as a move by Cuneo, who I've heard has been nicknamed “Napoleon,” to give top administrators more power while limiting parental influence with the school board.

One of the largest and most active DACs is the Special Education District Advisory Committee (SEDAC) which informs the school board on issues involving families with students who have special needs.

SEDAC member Claudia Landis said Cuneo’s proposal would help remove current committee members that have been whistle blowers and “would specifically target SEDAC.” She noted that SEDAC has a large membership. Reducing it to 11 members would “weaken the committee.” SEDAC has been critical of school policy on special education and questioned the use of gag orders imposed on parents who signed settlement agreements in disputes over their children’s education plans.

So far, the Board of Education has left term limits and membership reductions for DACs for future discussion.

Cuneo is also advancing a brand new, separate policy referred to as a “civility policy” that would empower administrators to ban parents from campuses if they voiced disagreement with staff, procedures or policy in an “uncivil” manner, at any time including at public meetings. What constitutes “uncivil” is not defined.

Calling the proposed policy “uncivil” and regressive, parents say it would put the SMMUSD into a position to remove parents or complainers from facilities for a wide range of vague reasons. I e-mailed Cuneo and asked why the policy was proposed. He wrote, “The (school) board requested that a civility policy be drafted after they reviewed all district policies this last spring.”

What about the parent or citizen who may become the victim of disrespect or rudeness from school personnel? Cuneo’s response: “The draft policy covers all employees and the public. The policy promotes mutual respect, civility and orderly conduct among district employees, parents and the public.”

But, having read the policy recommendations, I found them to be directed against

parents — with no protection from abuse by teachers or staff. Its language has no mention of any obligation by SMMUSD employees to be civil to parents or even the public!

The Lou Barber Report drafted last year, in part, to resolve problems in the district, especially those involving special ed parents, suggested “special education administrators need to be trained to ensure that all staff and parents are treated with civility and respect.”

Barber suggested the school board review policy and that the superintendent needed to fully implement policy provisions to ensure a positive and professional working environment. Special ed parents told me that Barber’s recommendations are not being implemented but Cuneo disagrees.

“This recommendation is being implemented. The area that needed the most attention was the IEP process.”

The IEP or Individualized Educational Plan (a major source of parent/district disagreements) allows educators to develop a plan to help kids with disabilities to succeed in school.

Cuneo e-mailed that 68 parents who participated in IEP meetings from April through June 18 responded to a feedback survey.

The district’s tally shows 97 percent of parents thought the IEP meetings were productive and 95.5 percent thought the district’s Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) met a child’s unique needs and was generally agreeable. A number of parents refused to participate in the survey. With roughly 1,400 students in special education, one can only wonder why so few parents responded.

If Cuneo’s civility proposal were to be implemented, it needs to define civility with both staff and parents held to the same standards of behavior. Such a policy would help create a process to de-escalate strained relationships arising from “uncivil” behavior and avoid punitive reactions such as removing people from meetings, banning them or even arrest.

The district is on a slippery slope because bad policy could lead to restricting free speech and repression of input school officials don’t want to hear about or deal with — and create even more conflict.

Is TV news enough?

TRUTH IS OFTEN LOST WHEN WE FAIL TO

distinguish between opinion and fact, and that is the danger we now face as a society.

Anyone who relies exclusively on television/cable news hosts and political commentators for actual knowledge of the world is making a serious mistake.

Unfortunately, since Americans have by and large become non-readers, television has become their prime source of so-called “news.”

This reliance on TV news has given rise to such popular news personalities such as Keith Olbermann, Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Wolf Blitzer and Lou Dobbs, among others, who draw in vast audiences that virtually hang on their every word. In our media age, these are the new powers-that-be. Yet while these personalities often dispense the news like preachers used to dispense religion, with power and certainty, do they really deliver up objective reporting about the news?

Sadly, in the short term, there is not much that the average viewer can do to change the nature of television news. Yet while television news cannot — and should not — be completely avoided, the following suggestions will help you better understand the nature of TV news and minimize its impact on you.

1. TV news is not what happened. Rather, it is what someone thinks is worth reporting.

Although there are some good TV reporters, the old art of investigative reporting has largely been lost.

2. TV news is entertainment. There is a reason why the programs you watch are called news “shows.” It’s a signal that the socalled news is being delivered as a form of entertainment. “In the case of most news shows,” write Neil Postman and Steve Powers in their insightful book, How to Watch TV News (1992), “the package includes attractive anchors, an exciting musical theme, comic relief, stories placed to hold the audience, the creation of the illusion of intimacy, and so on.”

3. Never underestimate the power of commercials, especially to news audiences. In an average household, the television set is on over seven hours a day. Most people, believing themselves to be in control of their media consumption, are not really bothered by this.

But TV is a two-way attack: it not only delivers programming to your home, it also delivers you (the consumer) to a sponsor.

4. It is vitally important to learn about the economic and political interests of those

who own the “corporate” media. There are few independent news sources anymore. The major news outlets are owned by corporate empires. For example, General Electric owns the entire stable of NBC shows, including MSNBC, which it co-owns with Microsoft (the “MS” in MSNBC stands for Microsoft).

Both GE and Microsoft poured millions of dollars into the presidential campaigns of George W. Bush. CBS is owned by Westinghouse, while Disney owns ABC. CNN is owned by the multi-corporation Time-Warner, while Fox News Channel is owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

5. Pay special attention to the language of newscasts. Because film footage and other visual imagery are so engaging on TV news shows, viewers are apt to allow language — what the reporter is saying about the images — to go unexamined. A TV news host’s language frames the pictures, and, therefore, the meaning we derive from the picture is often determined by the host’s commentary.

6. Reduce by at least one-half the amount of TV news you watch. TV news generally consists of “bad” news — wars, torture, murders, scandals and so forth. It cannot possibly do you any harm to excuse yourself each week from much of the mayhem projected at you on the news. Do not form your concept of reality based on television. TV news, it must be remembered, does not reflect normal everyday life. Studies indicate that a heavy viewing of TV news makes people think the world is much more dangerous than it actually is.

7. One of the reasons many people are addicted to watching TV news is that they feel they must have an opinion on almost everything, which gives the illusion of participation in American life. But an “opinion” is all that we can gain from TV news because it only presents the most rudimentary and fragmented information on anything.

The bottom line is simply this: Americans should beware of letting others — whether they be television news hosts, political commentators or media corporations — do their thinking for them. If not, then I fear for the future of this country.

Butts are bad for the environment Dear EarthTalk Has anyone ever studied the environmental impact of discarded cigarettes? I’m constantly appalled at the number of drivers I see pitching their butts out their car windows.

Ned Jordan via e-mail

IT’S TRUE THAT LITTERED CIGARETTE

butts are a public nuisance, and not just for aesthetic reasons. The filters on cigarettes — four fifths of all cigarettes have them — are made of cellulose acetate, a form of plastic that is very slow to degrade in the environment. A typical cigarette butt can take anywhere from 18 months to 10 years to decompose, depending on environmental conditions.

But beyond the plastic, these filters — which are on cigarettes in the first place to absorb contaminants to prevent them from going into the lungs — contain trace amounts of toxins like cadmium, arsenic and lead. Thus when smokers discard their butts improperly — out the car window or off the end of a pier or onto the sidewalk below — they are essentially tossing these substances willy-nilly into the environment.

Studies done by Johns Hopkins University, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and even the tobacco industry itself show that these contaminants can get into soils and waterways, harm or kill living organisms and generally degrade surrounding ecosystems.

While individual discarded cigarette butts may be small, they add up to a huge problem.

Some 5.5 trillion cigarettes are consumed worldwide each year. The non-profit Keep America Beautiful reports that cigarette butts constitute as much as one-third of all litter nationwide when measured by the number of discarded items, not volume. According to the Ocean Conservancy, a non-profit that advocates for stronger protection of marine ecosystems, cigarette butts are the most commonly littered item found on America’s salt and fresh water beaches according to feedback received by hundreds of thousands of volunteers taking part in the group’s annual Coastal Clean-up event.

While the tobacco industry may have its hands full just trying to stay afloat in the maelstrom of ongoing bad publicity, critics say it should be doing more to prevent cigarette butt litter. “Just as beverage manufacturers contribute to anti-litter campaigns, and have invested in public education on litter issues, so too should the tobacco industry,” says Kathleen Register, founder and

executive director of Clean Virginia Waterways, a non-profit that has spearheaded the fight against cigarette butt litter in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. She adds that cigarette manufacturers “need to take an active and responsible role in educating smokers about this issue and devote resources to the cleanup of cigarette litter.”

Register suggests a number of strategies including putting anti-litter messages on all cigarette packaging and advertisements, distributing small, free portable ashtrays, and placing and maintaining outdoor ashtrays in areas where smokers congregate. She also suggests putting an extra tax on cigarette sales, with proceeds going toward anti-litter education efforts and to defray the costs of cleaning up butts. “Picking up littered cigarette butts costs schools, businesses and park agencies money,” she says. “By taxing smokers for anti-litter educational efforts, some of the costs of cleaning up cigarette butts will shift onto smokers.” One way or another, Register hopes, smokers will learn that the Earth is not one giant ashtray.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2009

BY SARAH MOSKO Special to the Daily Press

As the food supply is increasingly altered by controversial practices like liberal use of antibiotics, genetic engineering and irradiation, food labels take on greater significance as shoppers’ only link to how products are produced. Depending on what issues matters most to consumers, what labels do not say can be more meaningful than what they do.

To get a handle on contentious food processing techniques that food labels don’t disclose, it’s helpful first to understand what is mandated. Oversight is split between the USDA, which enforces labeling on meat, poultry and some egg products, and the FDA, which covers most other foods.

Most foods sold in grocery stores are required to sport an “information panel” that lists: 1) the ingredients; 2) nutrition facts detailing the calories, fats, protein and other nutrients; and 3) the manufacturer, packer or distributor. major food allergens (e.g. peanuts), relevant inspections (like USDA) and special handling instructions (such as “keep refrigerated”) must also be declared.

However, providing nutrition facts on raw foods, like fruits and vegetables, seafood, meat and poultry, is only voluntary but is often posted anyway on the display case.

Fish labels must also specify whether it is wild-caught or farm-raised and, for the latter, if colorant was added to the feed to turn their naturally gray flesh pink. In California, a previous requirement that canned tuna carry a warning label about the potential dangers from mercury was struck down in the state Superior Court in 2006.

ANTIBIOTICS

Groundbreaking legislation, which would have made California the first state to prohibit feeding antibiotics to healthy livestock meant for human consumption, was voted down on June 3 (SB 416, Florez). This practice is employed routinely at large-scale industrial cattle, hog and poultry operations to hasten growth and prevent the spread of disease.

The bill’s overarching goal was to maintain the efficacy of antibiotics in treating human illness.

The non-therapeutic use of antibiotics in livestock is widely considered a factor in the rise in antibiotic-resistant infections in humans. Backers of SB 419, like the World Health Organization and the American Medical Association, claim that this practice breeds drug-resistant superbugs that can spread to humans.

In the United States, 70 percent of all antibiotics are used on cattle, hogs and poultry that are not sick, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. Antibiotic-laced feed is purchased without a prescription — humans take antibiotics only when ill and with a doctor’s prescription.

Critics, like the consumer protection organization Food & Water Watch, contend that non-therapeutic use of antibiotics is a compensation for the unsanitary conditions emblematic of crowded factory farms..

GENETICALLY ENGINEERED

The FDA announced on Jan. 15, 2009 that it is paving the way for genetically engineered (GE) animals to enter the food supply and without labeling.

Foods derived from GE crops, especially

corn, soybeans and canola, have been in U.S. markets for a decade. By inserting segments of another species’ DNA into the genetic material, desired traits, like herbicide tolerance, can be produced immediately. The traditional method of selective breeding takes several generations.

Dozens of other countries require labeling of GE foods, including the European Union and China. U.S. food makers label their GE products only when destined for overseas markets, despite surveys indicating that Americans support mandated labeling.

At issue are possible allergic or toxic effects GE foods do not undergo safety testing on humans - and contamination of native and organic crop strains.

IRRADIATION

Ionizing radiation has been allowed for several years on meat, spices and shellfish to kill off bacteria and parasites and prolong shelf life. Lower level irradiation targeting insects has also been permitted on grains and fresh fruits and vegetables.

Spurred by high-profile outbreaks of illness from E. coli and salmonella in leafy greens, the FDA gave the go-ahead in August 2008 to exposing fresh iceberg lettuce and spinach to higher level radiation to reduce bacteria not controllable through washing and also to extend shelf life. The U.S. government, along with dozens of other nations, views irradiation as a safe practice.

Labeling is required on whole, unprocessed, irradiated foods. However, processed foods with irradiated constituents are exempted under the logic that consumers already understand such foods have undergone processing.

One objection to irradiation is concern that reducing spoilage-producing microorganisms could allow competing pathogens to grow on food before spoilage becomes evident by “the smell test.” For example, botulism-causing bacteria are resistant to irradiation.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

Effective March 16, 2009, mandatory “country of origin” labels went into effect, impacting meats and poultry (except turkey), seafood, fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, ginseng, peanuts and certain nuts.

Exemptions applying to a wide range of products, including multiple ingredient and processed foods, represent sizeable loopholes.

For example, mixed nuts, mixed-greens bagged salad and fruit yogurt need not comply.

INFORMED CHOICE

Shopping is, in the ideal, informed choice that degrades into illusion when relevant information is withheld. Controversies that swirl around modern food production practices make the identification of the foods involved all the more central to both preserving real choice and resolving those controversies.

Absent fully informative food labels, industry and government collude to rob the public of choice and leave them shopping in the dark. The obvious elephant in the room is the fear that an informed public would opt for foods closest to how Mother Nature originally intended.

Vikings go 2-0 in league FROM SAMOHI PAGE 1 tion by Vikings senior safety Jared Onouye.

Near the end of the half, however, the Normans figured it out. After batting down a fourth and six pass to Zelon, Beverly Hills gained possession at the Vikings’ 46-yard line and hammered in a touchdown in four plays to lead 14-7 at the half.

The second half wasn’t any more kind to Samohi as Beverly Hills senior running back Jeremy Bruce pushed in another touchdown to put the Normans up 21-7 before the third period was half over.

This time the Vikings were not as quick to recover, failing to score on their following offensive series. But the Samohi secondary held it together, forcing a punt on the immediately-following Beverly Hills drive which Onouye returned for a touchdown.

Finally, it was a rivalry game.

The Vikings’ defense made another big stand, forcing another punt on four downs and ultimately tying the game at 21 on a 24yard touchdown run by junior running back Brandon Taylor.

Tied once more, Beverly Hills put together another strong offensive effort, marching up the field with major gains on identical pass plays from junior quarterback Josh Newman to senior wide receiver Daniel Bradbury. With 5 1/2 minutes left in the fourth, Norman sophomore wide receiver Cameron Countryman scored Beverly Hills’ fourth touchdown. Following the score, Vikings senior middle linebacker Keelan Malone got a hand on the ball, blocking the point after and holding the Norman lead to six points.

With time winding down, Safron wasted no time in mobilizing the offense. Benefiting from a personal foul call against Beverly Hills on a major pass to Featherstone, the Vikings quickly found themselves at first

and 10 on the Normans’ 22 yard line. A handful of marginal running gains later, Safron connected to Featherstone for an airborne end zone reception, and following the successful kick, Samohi clinched it with 32.8 seconds left. The Vikings improved their record to 3-4 overall and 2-0 in Ocean League play. Beverly Hills fell to 3-4 overall and 1-1 in league.

“We’ve been in a lot of fights like this and we’ve come out on the other end,” said Vikings coach Travis Clark after the game.

“So it just feels good to finally get these boys an opportunity to feel like they’re on the other side.”

Clark said that he was especially proud of his receivers and defense for their tremendous efforts, and commended his players on an impressive effort in the final moments of the game.

“We got good blocking this week,” said Taylor about what changed from the previous week’s performance. “Our line just stepped up big time for us and got us a win.”

Argenti has worn many hats FROM CP PAGE 1 she got to high school, Argenti realized that music was far more than a hobby.

Argenti enrolled in the Baltimore School for the Arts, finding her own real life version of “Fame.”

“That school changed my life,”Argenti said.

Aside from learning among students from all walks of life, the young musician expanded her horizons as she traveled to Taiwan with the Greater Baltimore Youth Orchestra.

Upon graduation, her talents bought her to the Baldwin Wallace Conservatory of Music in Cleveland, Ohio. Argenti found the conservatory grueling, practicing six hours a day in front of a mirror on the 1946 West German violin that her mother found in the Baltimore Sun classifieds.

“I’ve had it ever since [I was 16],” Argenti said. “It’s never out of my sight.”

By the end of her time in Cleveland, Argenti was burnt out and saw moving to Taiwan as a much needed break. She discovered herself musically, but did not know where to turn next.

After passing a year in Taiwan working at a hotel, teaching English and subbing for a member of the Tapei Symphony Orchestra, Argenti returned to the states in search of a steady job.

Just as her mother had discovered her violin, an ad in the paper landed the musician in the natural stone industry, working for an importer and distributor. Argenti fell in love with the beauty of the stone and chose to follow her sisters west, knowing that the good weather meant a year-long season

for natural stone.

After just a year living with one of her sisters in Southern California, Argenti relocated to a residence near Santa Monica College.

Now 18 years later, its clear that she won’t be going anywhere.

“I love that [it’s] so environmentally friendly,” Argenti said of Santa Monica.

“Even though I travel [it’s like] I’m coming back to a vacation.”

Argenti soon became a beach regular, as well as a member of the Santa Monica Symphony and a local string quartet. These hobbies have remained, even as sliding door moments have taken Argenti in and out of the corporate world.

The stone industry raised Argenti’s awareness about the environment. Just a few years after starting her own business, Argenti enrolled in Cal State Northridge to pursue environmental studies, eventually landing a job with the Walt Disney Co. “It’s funny that I speak about the School for the Arts changing my world and being so liberal and free,” Argenti said. “Working for the Walt Disney Co. in their department for environmental policy, it was the same feeling. They let me be creative.”

With Argenti, Disney won numerous EPA awards. After hours, however, Argenti and her violin were still inseparable. Around 2003, Argenti decided that it was finally time to focus solely on music. “[I] leapt off the edge and really went for it,” Argenti said.

Vets hired by City Hall to make reusable bags FROM VETS PAGE 3 and therefore the stress that can accompany a high-pressure job is absent.

To make sure that happens, the VA searches for businesses like S.O. Tech that are familiar with the obstacles some veterans face when returning home from battle. VA officials want companies that are willing to work with the veterans, show compassion and build up a worker’s self esteem. In addition to S.O. Tech, the Westwood VA contracts with another company, Ready America, which has veterans assembling earthquake kits for families.

“The goal of the program is not just giving them skills to work for pay, but also to provide a therapeutic environment where vets feel a part of the community,” said Edna Naito-Chan, the CWT program director.

“Work is very much associated with selfesteem and self-worth so it provides some of that. It is an important component of their recovery and treatment.”

There are roughly 30 veterans enrolled in the CWT program at the Westwood VA, Naito-Chan said.

Mike Berge with S.O. Tech is a veteran himself, having served in Afghanistan following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

His boss, also a veteran, heard about CWT during his visits to the VA for treatment and wanted to get involved. The company has hired at least two veterans full-time and is pleased with the results so far. S.O. Tech has produced 1,500 reusable bags for City Hall and has another order for 1,000 on the way.

“I think it is great working with these guys, knowing somewhat what they have been through and being able to relate to that and help them get through some of the struggles is fantastic,” Berge said.

It was Berge who helped train Stanley and his co-workers on the techniques of sewing.

He admits that it was somewhat of a challenge at first considering some of the vets had never used a sewing machine before, but after a few weeks, they were ready to start making the bags, which City Hall ordered to help residents with the transition from using paper or plastic bags. City Hall is consider-

ing banning single-use bags.

Josephine Miller with City Hall’s Office of Sustainability and the Environment, felt it was important to find a company that was local to produce the bags, cutting down on pollution generated by transporting the bags from China as well as providing jobs for locals. Miller built a relationship with veterans, having been familiar with the Vets’ Garden, another therapeutic program at the Westwood campus.

“We were looking for an economically viable solution for reusable bags that really walks the walk in terms of being made locally and being respectful of the environment,” Miller said.

S.O. Tech was a perfect choice, she said, because the company is local, helps vets and uses scrap material that would normally be thrown into a landfill.

City Hall is looking to expand its relationship with the veterans, allowing visitor’s to next year’s Santa Monica Festival the opportunity to make their own bags with the veterans’ help as well as guidance from Rosie’s Girls, local teens enrolled in a program designed to build self-esteem and leadership qualities in middle school girls by exploring various trades that have historically lacked a strong female presence.

“This is all about green jobs in our community, buying local and keeping waste out of the landfill,” Miller said.

It feels good for the veterans to be making products that help the environment as well as fellow soldiers on the battle field. For Louisa Tinson, who served in the Air Force in the late 1970s before injuring her back, making it difficult to find a job in the private sector, the work has given her something to look forward to, as well as a little change in her pocket during these touch economic times. She likes contributing and has hope that one day she can go into business for herself.

“It’s had a tremendous impact,” said Tinson, who suffers from chronic back pain.

“Dealing with the pain can really put you in a bad state, but this makes me feel like I’m a part of life again.” kevinh@smdp.com

Argenti not only jams, but rides the waves at a championship level FROM CP PAGE 9

The album features myriad stylistic influences. One of Argenti’s most personal tracks, “Home,” embodies the personality of her mother whom she lost to surgery earlier this year.

“My mom always kept me grounded,” Argenti said. “I feel her spirit with me all the time.”

Tragedy has played a role in some of Argenti’s most recent work. The violinist is featured on Laura Roppe’s song “Float Away,” which tells the story of losing someone close to you. The track made it to number five on Amazon UK’s top downloads while the artists were in the UK shooting the music video. Argenti recorded the song earlier this year after her good friend and fellow surfer Kevin Gale went missing in the Santa Monica Bay. “It all ties in,” she said of the emotional connection. “It’s been such a crazy year, but such amazing stuff has come out of it.”

Still to come will be the artist’s performance at the Los Angeles Music Awards in November. Argenti is nominated in numerous categories, including “Instrumentalist of the Year,” and will perform on the red carpet.

Though she has used her mom’s antique model since the age of 16, Argenti is excited for a new steel-plated violin from world renowned luthier James Trussart. The performance instrument will hopefully be put to good use as more sliding door moments fuel Argenti’s career.

“I’m still on my path,” Argenti said. “I take none of it for granted.

Argenti began studying at the California College of Music. After her improvisational skills progressed, Argenti earned a scholarship to the Colborn School of Music in Downtown L.A. Honing her chordal knowledge in the jazz department, the violinist gained the confidence to be able to “jam” with others.

“I love that I can just sit down … and just play,” Argenti said. “This is just coming … from way within because it’s my own creation.”

Since Colborn, Argenti has played in numerous shows and competitions, with talented musicians like Danny B. Harvey. Just last week, Harvey and Argenti released their entirely improvised album, “Endless Summertime,” online.

“It’s called ‘Endless Summertime,’ because — especially for me as a surfer — every day is like an endless summer,” Argenti said.

An avid runner along Santa Monica Beach, Argenti admired the surfers so much that she decided to try it herself 12 years ago.

In 2007, she became a champion in the Western Surfing Association’s Hobie Championship. Nine months of intense training paid off.

“It was one of the things that inspired me to even go more into my music,” Argenti said. If she put the same energy into her violin that she had into surfing, she realized she could take her music to the next level.

And she has.

Argenti now enjoys sponsorship for both surfing and music and is eagerly anticipating the release of “Sliding Doors.”

Opportunistic Jets beat Raiders 38-0 JOSH DUBOW AP Sports Writer

OAKLAND With a ball-hawking defense and a punishing running game, the New York Jets took the pressure off struggling rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez and handed the Oakland Raiders their most lopsided home loss ever.

Sanchez shook off the worst start of his young career by running for one touchdown and throwing for another, fellow rookie Shonn Greene ran for 144 yards and two scores and the Jets snapped a three-game losing streak by beating the Raiders 38-0 on Sunday.

It was a low-pressure day for Sanchez, who started two of his first three drives for the Jets (4-3) at the Oakland 4 after turnovers by JaMarcus Russell. Those mistakes led to touchdown runs by Thomas Jones and Sanchez, and played a role in Oakland coach Tom Cable’s decision to bench the former No. 1 overall pick in the second quarter.

This was just the fifth home shutout ever for the Raiders (2-5), with four coming in the past four seasons.

One negative for the Jets was losing running back-kick returner Leon Washington to an apparent leg injury in the first quarter.

Washington was taken off on a cart after a defender rolled up his right leg.

After Sanchez threw five interceptions last week against Buffalo for his third straight loss, coach Rex Ryan said maybe he needed to take some pressure off his rookie passer.

The New York defense made that easy.

After Oakland committed a penalty on the opening kick, Calvin Pace beat right tackle Khalif Barnes on the first play from scrim-

mage, sacking Russell and forcing a fumble that Marques Douglas recovered at the 4. It took four tries, but Jones eventually scored from the 1 on fourth down to give the Jets the lead.

Jim Leonhard then intercepted a badly overthrown ball by Russell, who was pressured by David Harris, and returned it 44 yards to the 4. Two plays later, Sanchez scored on a 3-yard quarterback draw. An 8yard run by Greene made it 21-0 with 5:51 left in the second quarter as New York scored its third touchdown, while Sanchez had only four completions at that point.

Sanchez got into the act passing the ball in the second half with a pretty 35-yard strike to David Clowney, but by that point it didn’t really matter as the blowout was already on. Sanchez was 9 for 15 for 143 yards with no interceptions and was so relaxed he was eating a hot dog on the sideline in the closing minutes.

Jones, coming off a franchise record 210 yards rushing last week, had 121 on 26 carries this game. Greene did the rest, getting extended playing time because of the blowout and the injury to Washington.

The Jets had lost all four of their games on the West Coast last season, including an overtime defeat in Oakland.

The Raiders came into the game full of confidence following last week’s 13-9 victory over Philadelphia. The week got only better when the Napa County district attorney announced Thursday he would not file charges against Cable for an alleged attack on a former defensive assistant.

But any good feeling around the Raiders ended as soon as this game started, as Oakland lost by at least 20 points for the fourth time in five weeks.

UCLA researchers, studying the healthy cells of pre-op epilepsy patients, inadvertently discovered this unusual property, which apparently varies with individuals but remains internally consistent, whether the celebrity is represented by picture, name or sound.

Patients were presented "hundreds of stimuli," one researcher told The Wall Street Journal in October, but "the neuron would respond to only one or two." For example, neurons were found that reacted only to to Jennifer Aniston, only to "The Simpsons," only to Mother Teresa.
