THE HERE COMES THE RAIN ISSUE

Samohi choirs go caroling through the town

BY SABA HAMEDY Special to the Daily Press

DOWNTOWN I can’t memorize formulas for math class, but I know every word to “Frosty the Snowman.”

I never have time to exercise outside of school, but I probably burned thousands of calories after running around Main Street and Barnes and Noble this past weekend (caution: Wearing high heels while running may cause blisters and foot pain — wear at your own risk).

My attention span is pretty low, but I don’t have time to get distracted during my countless hours of caroling.

I am a part of the Santa Monica High School Madrigal ensemble — and we like to carol. Though our schedules are demanding, we always manage to have fun because the life of a caroler is never dull.

Every member of the Madrigal and Chamber ensembles knows that in order to have a successful caroling session, you need the following caroling essentials: velvet choir dress or tux, black shoes, red book of carols (33 pieces of holiday classics bound together into one fat book), pitch pipe (to play starting note), a water bottle (or two), and lots of energy (this being the most important factor on the list). We must be prepared to sing as large as a group of 40 (approximately the total number of Madrigal and Chamber members) or as small as a group of six (two people per part).

And in any group, no matter what the size, one person is designated carol caller, one person is designated verse caller, and one person is designated pitch player. The carol caller is in charge of choosing what carols the group sings and basically takes on the roll as group leader. The verse caller

COMMUNITYPROFILES DR. BOB BARAVARIAN

Doctor combines sports and medicine

BY MELODY HANATANI Daily Press Staff Writer

WILSHIRE BLVD As a college student, Dr. Bob Baravarian was always sure of two things — his love for sports and interest in pursuing medicine.

But it was not until his second year at the University of Southern California that Baravarian found his true calling.

An assistant coach on the men’s tennis team — on which Baravarian was a player — underwent surgery to repair a tear of his Achilles tendon, suffering from complications that left him in a wheelchair for a year.

It was a podiatrist who finally corrected the problem through surgery, allowing the coach to be back on his feet playing tennis just three months later.

Baravarian knew little about the podia-

try discipline but was nevertheless hooked.

“Because of my interest in sports my whole life, I always knew I wanted to get into some field of sports medicine and I liked the foot and ankle because of the complexity,” he said.

More than 16 years after graduating from USC with a bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology, Baravarian today is one of the co-directors of the University Foot and Ankle Institute in Santa Monica where he specializes in sports medicine, reconstructive surgery and revision of failed surgery.

The center, which is affiliated with the UCLA Medical Group, is known for practicing revolutionary techniques to correct some of the most common sports injuries — tendonitis of the Achilles and plantar

Embattled governor weighs legal options

3

BY CARLA K. JOHNSON AND MIKE ROBINSON

Charlie Sheen’s daughters unhurt after car crash

Associated Press Writers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich met with a renowned Chicago criminal lawyer Saturday as he weighed his legal options on how to fight a scandal that has left his career in tatters and disrupted President-elect Barack Obama’s White House transition.

The Democratic governor had a fourhour meeting with Ed Genson in the lawyer’s downtown office Saturday. Genson has defended newspaper baron Conrad Black, R&B singer R. Kelly and numerous public figures on corruption charges, earning a reputation as the lawyer big shots call when they get in a bind in Chicago.

Genson confirmed the two met but wouldn’t discuss details of their dialogue.

When asked if he would take the case, Genson said: “We’ll make our mutual decision on Monday.”

Blagojevich had brushed back calls for his resignation after he was charged with trying to sell Obama’s Senate seat. He sought to project a business-as-usual image amid the turmoil, going to work every day and handling state business.

As the legal maneuvering intensified, some observers speculated that he might be trying to leverage the governorship to his advantage in his criminal case — just like prosecutors said he did with the Senate seat for financial gain.

“I would be saying, ‘Let me see what I can get in exchange for you resigning. Don’t just give it up for nothing. Let me see if I can get you a better deal,’” said Steve Cron, a defense lawyer from Santa Monica.

Others suggested his lingering refusal to resign is more rooted in his ego than anything else. The governor has been known to love being in the spotlight, whether the attention is good or bad.

“You would think he would see his life collapsing around him,” said Chicago defense lawyer John Beal, who was in the courtroom with Blagojevich this week and noted how carefree he seemed. “But he was the center of attention and seemed to love it.”

The scandal continued to hound Reps.

Jesse Jackson Jr. and Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s choice for chief of staff. About a dozen protesters stood outside Jackson’s office Saturday demanding his resignation, and Republicans called for more information from Obama about Emanuel’s role in the Senate selection process.

MALIBU Charlie Sheen’s spokesman says the actor’s two young daughters are doing fine after a Mercedes-Benz sports utility vehicle they were riding in collided with a sedan on Pacific Coast Highway, sparking a multivehicle crash that sent one person to the hospital.

Authorities say the girls, 4-year-old Sam and 3-year-old Lola, were being driven by their nanny on Friday when a Honda Civic made a turn in front of them and was struck broadside. The force of the collision caused the Honda to spin across several lanes and hit a parked car and a pickup truck, Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s traffic investigators said in a statement.

The driver of the Honda was taken to a hospital, but the extent of her injuries was not released.

“Charlie told me that it could have been worse, but the children were in the car seats,” Sheen’s spokesman, Stan Rosenfield, said Sunday.

Sheen shares custody of the girls with exwife Denise Richards. He has an older daughter, 25-year-old Cassandra Jade Estevez, with former girlfriend Paula Profit.

He is expecting a fourth child with wife Brooke Mueller.

Editor:

In the final presidential debates and speech making, Barack Obama explained that he opposes “spending public money for private school vouchers” and wants to focus on “improving our public schools, not throwing our hands up and walking away from them.” It sounds good in theory, for other peoples children, but when the audacity of hope meets truth, Sen. Obama showed he is all talk.

You see, he is sending his children to a private Quaker, religious school called Sidwell Friends. I will not fault him for doing what is best for his children, but when he stood up on stage and chided the American people for “throwing our hands up and walking away” we see he lacks leadership to follow through on his word. It is important that a leader does not run out the back door with his hands in the air right after sending American children to the front lines of poverty caused by four more years of public school failure.

Turning Santa Monica into Emerald City, LUCE style THE CITY’S PROPAGANDA MACHINE IS

working overtime. The latest glossy publication extolling the virtues of the "Land Use and Circulation Element” (LUCE) update to the 24-year-old General Plan is now available online at www.shapethefuture2025.net.

The “Introduction to the LUCE Strategy Framework" is the Planning Department’s 14-page nutshell summary of the philosophy and strategies for future city growth as proposed in the earlier, more voluminous “LUCE Strategic Framework" released this past spring. This “Introduction,” with it’s hip layout and photographs evocative of an earlier Santa Monica and stylized renderings, is worth a look-see for all who care about the city’s future.

In the works for more than four years and hundreds of pages long, the original “LUCE Strategy Framework” details how traffic and development should be handled over the next few decades. City Council reviewed it and sent it back to planners for revisions last summer. A finalized plan is expected next year.

The “Introduction” reiterates that LUCE is about “maintaining the character of Santa Monica while enhancing the lifestyle of all who live here." It summarizes LUCE as preserving residential neighborhoods and city character, integrating land use and transportation (focusing on change with transit), managing traffic and reduction of traffic trips, establishing a public benefit requirement for development (such as housing, parks or homeless shelters), involving citizens in development review, phasing in future development with the ability to “apply brakes” when necessary, employing new tools for historic preservation and adaptive reuse and ensuring change contributes to the community.

The “Introduction” capsulizes why LUCE is different from and better than the current city plan. Here’s where the brown stuff starts getting thick and heavy.

City planners claim LUCE will maintain the scale and character of “94 percent of the city.” They use bright, colorful photos of charming older bungalows and courtyard apartments throughout their “Introduction.” However, LUCE does nothing to change current codes and prevent or slow the construction of market-rate condominiums that are replacing these older residences (and their tenants) in multi-family zones.

That remaining 6 percent of the city subject to change includes mostly major transportation corridors where substantially larger, denser and taller mixed-use (retail/residential) structures with less parking are encouraged. Extra height bonuses are available for developments with undefined “pubic benefits” such as low-income housing.

With this in mind, there’s the “No Net New (personal vehicle) Trips” concept. Integrating more intensive land use with mass transit, bicycle lanes, enhanced

pedestrian elements and personal vehicles all on the same roadway is going to simultaneously freeze traffic growth and “increase mobility?” Yeah. Sure. In reality, Isn’t this a recipe for gridlock, serious injury or even death? Personal injury attorneys must already be salivating at the mouth.

Colorful illustrations of European style thoroughfares such as Wilshire, Santa Monica, Pico and Lincoln boulevards show light rail trains, buses, cars, bicyclists and pedestrians all mixed together in harmonious coexistence. But, there are virtually no private vehicles in the renderings making them phony, fantasy-like cartoons. Surely, the planners and consultants don’t think LUCE will make vehicular traffic just disappear?

An “enhanced community roll” is also key. Really? After the City Council has systematically removed community input from public housing projects and given the city’s housing director the authority to spend tens of millions of dollars on property acquisition for low income housing without citizen review or even their OK? And, how about those LUCE community meetings loaded with city staff, local politicians, lobbyists (including bike and transit advocates), paid consultants and developers?

During the meeting I attended, a neighbor complained about LUCE’s recommendation for wider sidewalks around Wilshire Boulevard and 14th Street.

With sidewalks reeking of urine and human waste, widening and landscaping wouldn’t make them more pedestrian friendly, she told the assembly. Her suggestion: getting rid of the drunks and bums alone would make sidewalks attractive enough. Of course, her suggestion was ignored.

Photographs of community meetings only reinforce the “insider” aspect of the LUCE process. Front row center in the “Introduction’s” key photograph showing citizens in discussion is none other than the ultimate insider — former mayor and councilman, former longtime Santa Monica for Renters’ Rights Co-Chair/current SMRR Steering Committee member and all around local power player Denny Zane. It’s Zane’s SMRR-controlled City Council who’s called the shots on development and traffic in Santa Monica for three decades and created the current mess. Isn’t it time other opinions were heard and addressed?

While there were numerous other issues that raised red flags with me, the capper was this: “The LUCE Strategy Framework will not only help maintain the city’s beach town character but also allow for continued community involvement in shaping the way Santa Monica will look and function in 20 years.”

Beach town character? Community Involvement? Now I know they’re smoking some good weed.

GERMAN CAR SERVICE

That Rutherford Guy DAD

RETURNED

TO

Pulaski, Tenn., after serving in World War II, he couldn’t find a decent-paying job. My birth barely a year later only reinforced what my parents already knew — they had no choice but to leave their home and family and this small southern town behind.

Factory towns were booming in the north. So, like hundreds of other desperate families, my parents packed their meager belongings and we moved to Peoria, Ill., where my dad got a factory job at Caterpillar Tractor Company.

I was too young to realize how poor we were. But I do remember one Christmas when I was about 8 or 9. I desperately wanted a cowboy pistol and holster from Santa Claus. I got the pistol, but I guess the economy had hit Santa hard, too, and he couldn’t afford the holster. So my Dad made one using one of my mother’s old leather purses.

It didn’t look like the holsters on television, but it did the job. Still, when some of my friends made fun of it, I felt ashamed.

It wasn’t until I was married with children of my own that I truly appreciated how special my dad’s gift was. He had given me something from his heart because he wanted to make his little boy’s Christmas dream come true.

For many Americans, the tough times are back again — especially those with families to feed. And with Christmas approaching, I have to wonder what, if anything, some kids are going to find under the tree this year.

Much of the world may see America as the land of the wealthy, but the reality for many people is much different. For instance, just prior to the current financial meltdown, statistics on poverty and hunger in America indicated that 36 million people were living below the poverty line, including 13 million children. Nearly 4 percent of U.S. households experience hunger, which equates to almost 10 million people, including three million children. And households with children reported food insecurity at almost double the rate for those without children.

There are, of course, federal food assistance programs. However, the demand in recent years has been so great that, on average, 20 percent of the requests for emergency food assistance have been completely unmet.

Add the homeless problem to this mix, and it’s staggering. In America, 3.5 million people experience homelessness, including some 1.4

million children. And with the demand for emergency shelter having greatly increased, some cities just don’t have enough room for all those needing housing assistance.

These problems have worsened since the Wall Street collapse, with thousands losing their homes and the jobless rate soaring. So what will these families get for Christmas?

The answer is simple: what others are willing to share.

If there is any lesson for this time of the year, it is sharing with those in need and showing compassion to our fellow human beings.

Thus, the true essence of Christmas is giving something of yourself to others. Compassion must start with assisting those who need help the most. True compassion is all about bringing justice and mercy to real-life situations.

Especially in cases of children in need, compassion has to begin with sacrificial giving. As the noted author and theologian C.S. Lewis once wrote: “I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare. In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little. If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditure excludes them.”

True giving is not limited to money and material items. It includes giving time to those in need, volunteering at the homeless shelter, delivering meals to the hungry, going through your closets and drawers and sharing that which is so desperately needed — clothes, shoes, warm coats, the list goes on and on.

I know we all think about the poor, the needy, the homeless and the hungry. But we should be ashamed if that’s all we do.

Christmas is not the only time of the year to give of ourselves and our blessings, but it is a good time to start.

So what is the greatest Christmas gift?

The giving of yourself and your blessings to those in need.

Doctor practices revolutionary procedures FROM CP PAGE 1 fasciitis. The plantar fascia is a ligament that supports the arch of the foot.

The procedures correct a problem that occurs when scar tissue is allowed to develop over time in the injured foot, cutting off the blood supply to the area. One technique involves injecting platelet-rich plasma into the Achilles or plantar fascia, causing an inflammatory reaction and starting the cascade of healing. The other procedure — called topaz coblation — sends a zap of radiofrequency energy into the scarred area, starting the inflammatory process and increasing blood supply to the area.

“This treatment is something we can do in kids as young as 12 who get in sports and have chronic injury to an 80-year-old who is not responding to conservative care but wants to avoid surgery,” Baravarian said.

More than 30 million people suffer from plantar fasciitis every year, Baravarian said.

The practice has come a long way from when it was founded in 2003 by Baravarian and Dr. Gary Briskin. The center opened in Santa Monica and has expanded to seven other locations in Southern California, including Sherman Oaks, Valencia and Rancho Cucamonga.

Baravarian, 37, has also traveled a long journey that began as a young child in Iran, leaving the country just three months before the revolution in the late 1970s. His father was a banker who lived through two assassination attempts on his life.

“We left to go on vacation to France and never came back,” he said.

His childhood included stops around the world with six months in France, a year in Germany, and four years in England where he lived near three tennis clubs. Baravarian’s family moved to Beverly Hills when he was in the sixth grade.

Baravarian said he is interested in going back to Iran for charity work but fears the government is still too unstable, citing his sister’s visit to the country last year, which unexpectedly resulted in detainment.

“They said she was taking too many pic-

BECAUSE OF MY INTEREST IN SPORTS MY WHOLE LIFE, I ALWAYS KNEW I WANTED TO GET INTO SOME FIELD OF SPORTS MEDICINE AND I LIKED THE FOOT AND ANKLE BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEXITY.” Dr. Bob Baravarian tures,” he said.

After receiving his undergraduate degree, Baravarian attended the California College of Podiatric Medicine, which was affiliated with the University of California San Francisco, receiving his doctorate degree. He completed his residency at the University of Pittsburgh, specializing in sports medicine and reconstructive surgery.

The time on the East Coast was followed by a few months in Germany working in reconstructive surgery for the foot and ankle, later returning to the U.S. and working for the UCLA Medical Center from 1999 to 2003.

Today Baravarian also serves as a consultant for the Association of Tennis Professionals tour and is the editor-in-chief of Foot and Ankle Specialist magazine.

“The goal of the practice is the same as day one — to provide state-of-the-art care and be in the forefront of research and education, but not to be the first guy doing it,” he said. “We analyze research but we won’t jump onto the band wagon until we know it is working.” melodyh@smdp.com

Samohi choirs singing up a storm FROM CHOIR PAGE 1 holds up numbers as the group sings, telling everyone which verse to sing next or if we are to repeat a verse. And finally, the pitch player makes sure everyone has their starting note (to avoid going flat or sharp).

Although there is a lot of structure in caroling, there is an equal amount of improvisation. For example, when a song starts to go off key or no one is certain off their notes, the verse caller will hold up the “end” signal, and the song will finish immediately. Or when the group gets bored with a song’s redundant verses, the verse caller will instruct everyone to sing on a syllable, like “doo,” to add spice to an otherwise dull song.

Sometimes, there is even a change in a song’s lyrics. At the Barnes and Noble event, we collectively decided to sing “we all like Barnes and Noble,” instead of “we all like figgy pudding,” in the song “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”

Our caroling season officially started on

Blagojevich in a bind FROM SCANDAL PAGE 3 The Chicago Tribune reported that Emanuel had conversations — captured on wiretaps — before the election with the Blagojevich administration about who would replace Obama in the Senate. The report did not suggest any dealmaking in the conversations, and Obama has strongly denied that anyone on his team committed wrongdoing.

Jackson was identified as one of the candidates Blagojevich was considering to replace Obama, and a criminal complaint said his supporters were willing to raise $1.5 million for the governor to make the appointment happen.

Blagojevich’s political future remains in limbo. The Legislature could start impeachment proceedings as soon as Monday, and the Illinois Supreme Court could act on a request by Attorney General Lisa Madigan to strip him of his powers.

Madigan’s staff has taken steps to rewrite lender-assurance language on a short-term borrowing plan, according to a spokeswoman for state Comptroller Dan Hynes.

That would head off any problems the state has had in paying its bills over the

Nov. 11 at the annual Sears charity event and we’ve been caroling ever since. We’ve caroled for the retired members of the school district. We’ve caroled all across Main Street.

We’ve caroled at Barnes and Noble. By the end of this month, I’m sure we’ll have caroled just about everywhere in Santa Monica.

After just a few of these caroling events, I already notice the side affects. My throat feels as dry as a desert. My feet ache so much that I can barely muster up the energy to walk back to my car after a night of singing. In fact, I am quite ready to toss my red caroling book into my little choir cubby and leave it there.

But then, a little girl around the age of 8 comes up to me and says “You guys are really good!” And someone else tells us that we “look and sound amazing,” and the pain is all worth it.

Through our gigs, I have learned that caroling is definitely a sport as well as an art. It requires not only a lot of energy, skill and a good pair of shoes; but also patience, practice and attentiveness.

Blagojevich scandal.

The governor has not made any public comments about his future. Spokesman Lucio Guerrero said the governor plans to sign a bill Monday that provides tax credits to filmmakers in Illinois.

Beal, the Chicago lawyer, said Blagojevich may be contemplating a deal with prosecutors or be in denial. Beal said he has seen many white-collar clients go through a defiant denial stage after they’re charged with a crime.

“It often takes awhile to sink in on a gut level how much trouble they’ve gotten themselves into and what their options are,” Beal said.

Chicago defense attorney and former assistant U.S. attorney Ron Safer said the prospect of trading a resignation in a plea deal with federal prosecutors may be farfetched, but Blagojevich’s nature seems to be a self-serving one in which he gains a personal advantage from every action he takes.

Safer sized up the prospect of a possible resignation and plea deal from his perspective as a former federal prosecutor: “If he came in and said, ‘Look, I want to plead guilty. I want to cooperate. I want to accept responsibility. I’m going to resign my office,’ all of those would indicate to me acceptance and would be relevant to me as a prosecutor."

Get errands done tonight, Pisces ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★★ Your tendency to push to see the bigger picture emerges once more. Emphasize what you can do. Associates and friends express their appreciation. Meetings help hatch new ideas. Tonight: Act like a child again

★★★★ Don't lose sight of the big picture.

Diversions appear on your path, distracting you. Only the self-disciplined Libra will succeed! Tonight: Where people are is where you can be found

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★ Not moving as quickly as you like, you actually might be able to work from home. A partner or associate shows his or her frustration or irritation. Don't take an unnecessary risk. Stay on task. Tonight: Don't stray too far

★★★★ Step up to the plate. Achieving a goal can happen, but could prove to be a lot more costly or difficult than anticipated. The good news is that you will get there. The bad news is that you might not want what you think you want. Tonight: A must appearance

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★ Speak your mind, and you could be delighted by the reaction. Though someone might disagree vehemently, you will be able to bring in this person if you respect his or her ideas. Return calls. Be inquisitive. Tonight: Talk up a storm

★★★★★ If you feel off or angry, detach. Much more might be going on that has nothing to do with you. Avoid being rigid or touchy. You don't want to appear that way. Express your feelings, even if others are not! Tonight: How about some holiday music?

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★ Tread with care. You could be causing yourself a problem with negativity. Listen to what others say, and refuse to put them down. They are not their ideas. An associate or someone you deal with fairly regularly opens your eyes.

Tonight: Just for you.

★★★★ You might be arguing a point too far and creating animosity with others! Some people will avoid you, while others get plain angry.

Do yourself a favor: Let go of having to be right. Express empathy through working with others. Tonight: Get errands done.

Happy birthday

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

Investigate new options this year, even if you think you are on a set course. Understand that there are many ways to achieve key goals -- some easier than others.

By not closing down, you'll gain insight, strength and direction. Question more often what might be going on with a boss or older family member. This person might not be as hard or as difficult as you think. Continue communicating openly and not fighting vulnerability. You attract many people. If you are single, a relationship pops in 2009. You will have many people to choose from.

Take your time getting to know potential sweeties.

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

SHEPARD

■ Serbians, who have previously, bafflingly, constructed large, reverential public statues of martialarts actor Bruce Lee and movie characters Tarzan and Rocky Balboa, built one of reggae musician Bob Marley in August in the village of Banatski Sokolac. Also planned was a statue of British singer Samantha Fox, but that project fell through. One Serbian artist who helped raise money for the Rocky statue told The New York Times, “My generation can’t find role models (at home) so we have to look elsewhere.”

■ The Gorani, a small group of Muslims scattered through the former Yugoslavia, lead mostly unremarkable lives, except for their singular distinction: Every five years, they gather in southern Kosovo for Sunet, a festival of mass-circumcision of toddlers, with a history tracing back centuries. Last year, 130 boys born since the previous Sunet were circumcised, without anesthetic, by Zylfikar Shishko, 70, for a small fee. Many Gorani are apprehensive about 2012, according to an October dispatch in Germany’s Der Spiegel, because Shishko is 70 years old and the only skilled Gorani circumciser.

TODAY IN HISTORY The Bill of Rights went into effect following ratification by Virginia.

Sioux Indian Chief Sitting Bull and 11 other tribe members were killed in Grand River, S.D., during a confrontation with Indian police.

Groundbreaking ceremonies for the Jefferson Memorial took place in Washington, D.C., with President Franklin D. Roosevelt taking part.

The motion picture “Gone With the Wind” had its world premiere in Atlanta.

A single-engine plane carrying bandleader Glenn Miller, who was a major in the U.S. Army Air Forces, disappeared over the English Channel while en route to Paris.

During World War II, American forces invaded Mindoro Island in the Philippines.

Former State Department official Alger Hiss was indicted by a federal grand jury in New York on charges of perjury. (He was convicted in 1950.)
