he Huntington Beach City
Council voted to cap the prop-
erty the tax the city collects to
pay for public safety employees' re-
tirement benefits.
Beginning many years ago, the city
collects a penny and a half on every
$100 of assessed property value and
could until this recent vote collect up
to almost 5 cents.
This tax mechnaism(property tax)
brings the city about $4 million a year.
It is earmarked to help pay for the
legal contractual obligation the city
has with the city's retirement obliga-
tions. Recently, enough signatures
were recently gathered to bring the en-
tire issue to a vote in November. If
passed the city would then no longer
collect the one and half cents and have
to take the $4+ million from other
sources...since the bill has to be
paid...it is a fixed cost.
The theory put forth by the propo-
nents of the initiative say removing
the tax will "force" employee groups
to pay their full benefit contributions
and prevent the city council from rais-
ing the tax on property owners at any-
time, none of which are guaranteed.
However, repealing the tax does not
automatically result in the public em-
ployees paying their "fair share" and
they did, projections indicate the city
will still come up short.
Council members recently sug-
gested placing a
can't raise it.
Here the
theory is even
if the ballot
imitative fails...
that penny and a
half amount will be
capped.
Ed Note: Let's wait and
see. Seems like having to
cut the already strapped
budget another $4 million
is a dangerous thing to do at
this time...without a solid plan
on how to replace it or, in fact, what
further local cuts in remaining public
services would result.

CONSENSUS: Safe Bets: Play and Box #3, #5 and #6, #7, #8 &9. Box this bet and you will Win,
Place and Show and have strong 4th & 5th place positions in case of long shot wins. Pays to 3rd
position...even money on at least one upset. Show... Odds pay best on: #2, #10, #12. Handicapper's
Choice: Across the Board Bets heading to the winners circle: #3. #5, #6, #7, #8, #9. Have fun...watch
how they train, watch how they head to the Gate. Anything could happen.
#1 position is always a treat to the favorites in these claiming races. Performance
in the stretch unknown. No Utterance available. No Line available yet. No line -too
early.
Native born, Irish Sweeps bred horse familiar with The Curragh ... blood line results
in a competitive run. unpredictable finish -this horse is all heart. Originally Trained
at D&S Farms - discipline and grooming give this challenger great promise and
long term race success. May need blinkers to keep focused...changed post position
since last race. No Utterance available.. Good post position but long race! Morning
Line 2 to 1.
Late entry. This Stallion might be late to start but has strong finish. Lots of experi-
ence on this course. Wears the Green, has Senior Trainers...watch for some bump
and impedence...if this one gets the lead -will keep the lead. Good performance as
a Mudder -but track expected to be dry and fast. Trainers / Breeders Community
Farms. Even money.
Has not run on Municipal tracks, popular in the paddock and among senior staff.
Power horse with potential to run well. No history to go by...good disposition...well
bred... shutter to think.
Popular, outstanding Philly. This Mare is predicted to have a strong finish. Has
trained with others. Mares have their own unique behaviors. Can be unpre-
dictable...and can be work horses. Watch for some bump and impedence. Good
performance as a Mudder -but track expected to be dry and fast. Trainer / Breeder
Cook/ Connie Farms. Even Money.
Middle of the Pack. Good gate position for break away. Has been training hard
since last outing. Trainers are serious about a big win upset. Look for the Blue and
Gold Colors. This colt wears his badge of honor well. Runs straight, not carrying
any extra weight. Finish depends on track conditions, any scratches before post
time and how well he uses his "crop" in the race.
Seasoned Stallion. Knows course very well. Has won on this track before. Runs
with head up. Trainer OCRP and D&S Farms. If wins pledges to reform racing rules
on this track. With this entry's ribbons, a solid even money bet for the serous and
conservative better. D&S Farms favorite in this race.
Good gait, begins with gallop. The Grooms, D&S Farms have done well...should
finish strong. Handy position for this horse, does well coming from the
outside...breaks fast -runs to the inside. Trains with another horse, shares trainer.
This one has covered a lot of real estate. Now with experience on this track...could
be in the upset column.
Another Stallion...first time out. Trains with the pros. The Official Dark Horse...big
money bet. Two to one odds. Has been well groomed, runs in professional circles.
Most experienced in Charity Outings...first money -purse race. Morning line says box
this one with a favorite or two. Include in your Trifecta... could put you in the winner's
circle. Has most experienced trainer in this field...could make difference by being an
independent straight runner. No blinders - sees the whole track -no distractions.
No stranger to the Stables and Paddocks. Now, has experience on this track. Sec-
ond time out. Learns fast. Has to come from the outside...but that's what good
horses are trained to do. Read up on this one...more stats in next program.
New entry in these Sweeps. Has been around other courses with lots of profes-
sional experience.This entry could teach. Seems to get along with the other entries
and understands needs to be competitive but need to get along. No history... play
your hunch.
Last but certainly not least. Has surprised some with performance with other posi-
tions and is definitely a Tea-totaler when it comes to hard training, daily workouts
and fan base. Well acclimated to these track conditions, handlers are serious local
men and women on a goal of win, place or show.

W
hen a older friend of mine was a young boy,
his father had one of the first telephones in
thier neighborhood.... He spoke of the pol-
ished, old case fastened to the wall. The shiny receiver
hung on the side of the box. He was too little to reach
the telephone, but used to listen with fascination when
his mother talked to it.
Then he discovered that somewhere inside the won-
derful device lived an amazing person. Her name was
"Information Please" and there was nothing she did not
know. Information Please could supply anyone's num-
ber and the correct time.
His personal experience with the genie-in-a-bottle
came one day while his mother was visiting a neighbor.
Amusing himself at the tool bench in the basement, he
whacked his finger with a hammer, the pain was terri-
ble, but there seemed no point in crying because there
was no one home to give sympathy.
He walked around the house sucking his throbbing
finger, finally arriving at the stairway. The telephone!
Quickly, he ran for the footstool in the parlor and
dragged it to the landing. Climbing up, he unhooked
the receiver in the parlor and held it to his ear.
"Information, please" he said into the mouth piece
just above his head.
A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into his
ear.
"Information."
"I hurt my finger..."He wailed into the phone, the
tears came readily enough now that he had an audi-
ence.
"Isn't your mother home?" came the question.
"Nobody's home but me," he blubbered.
"Are you bleeding?" the voice asked.
"No," he replied. "I hit my finger with the hammer
and it hurts."
"Can you open the icebox?" she asked. he said he
could.
"Then chip off a little bit of ice and hold it to your
finger," said the voice...
After that, he called "Information Please" for every-
thing.. he asked her for help with his geography, and
she told him where Philadelphia was. She helped him
with his math.
She told him his pet chipmunk that he had caught in
the park just the day before, would eat fruit and nuts..
Then, there was the time Petey, his pet canary, died..
He called, Information Please," and told her the sad
story. She listened, and then said things grown-ups say
to soothe a child. But he was not consoled. He asked
her, "Why is it that birds should sing so beautifully and
bring joy to all families, only to end up as a heap of
feathers on the bottom of a cage?"
She must have sensed his deep concern, for she said
quietly, " Wayne , always remember that there are other
worlds to sing in."
Somehow he felt better.
Another day he was on the telephone, "Information
Please."
"Information," said in the now familiar voice. "How
do I spell fix?" He asked.
All this took place in a small town in the Pacific
Northwest. When he was nine years old, they moved
across the country to Boston . He missed his friend
very much.
"Information Please" belonged in that old wooden
box back home and he somehow never thought of try-
ing the shiny new phone that sat on the table in the hall.
As he grew into his teens, the memories of those child-
hood conversations never really left him.
Often, in moments of doubt and perplexity he would
recall the serene sense of security he had then. He ap-
preciated now how patient, understanding, and kind
she was to have spent her time on a little boy.
A few years later, on his way west to college, his
plane put down in Seattle... he had about a half-hour
or so between planes. He spent 15 minutes or so on the
phone with his sister, who lived there now. Then with-
out thinking what he was doing, he dialed his home-
town operator and said, "Information Please."
Miraculously, he heard the small, clear voice I knew
so well.
"Information."
He hadn't planned this, but he heard himself saying,
"Could you please tell me how to spell fix?"
There was a long pause. Then came the soft spoken
answer, "I guess your finger must have healed by now."
He laughed, "So it's really you," he said. "I wonder
if you have any idea how much you meant to me dur-
ing that time."
I wonder," she said, "if you know how much your
calls meant to me.
I never had any children and I used to look forward
to your calls."
He told her how often he had thought of her over the
years and asked if he could call her again when he
came back to visit his sister.
Please do", she said. "Just ask for Sally."
Three months later he was back in Seattle .. A dif-
ferent voice answered,
"Information."
He asked for Sally.
"Are you a friend?" she said.
"Yes, a very old friend," he answered.
"I'm sorry to have to tell you this, She said. "Sally
had been working part time the last few years because
she was sick. She died five weeks ago."
Before he could hang up, she said, "Wait a minute,
did you say your name was Wayne ?" "Yes." he an-
swered.
"Well, Sally left a message for you.
She wrote it down in case you called.
Let me read it to you."
The note said, "Tell him there are other worlds to
sing in. He'll know what I mean."
He thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally
meant.
Never underestimate the impression you may make
on others..
Whose life have you touched today?
Can you help lift someone on eagle's wings?
May you find the joy and peace you long for?
Life is a journey... NOT a guided tour.
I loved this story and just had to pass it on.
I hope you enjoy it too.

"PHONE ON THE WALL" - Its GREAT !
PLEASE VOTE ON
NOVEMBER 6, 2012 - PLEASE
O
ne day a
woman' s
husband died,
and on that
clear, cold
morning, in the
warmth of
their bedroom,
the wife was
struck with the
pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore."
No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate
together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just
one minute."
Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used
up and goes away, never to return before we can say
good-bye, or say "I love you."
So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix
it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick.
This is true for marriage... And old cars... And chil-
dren with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and
aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because
they are worth it, because we are worth it.
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved
away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just
some things that make us happy, no matter what.
Life is important, like people we know who are spe-
cial. And so, we keep them close!
Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your
friends know you love them? The important thing is to
let every one of your friends know you love them, even
if you think they don't love you back.
Most important, for gosh darn sakejust in case Im
gone tomorrow, please, please, please vote for that other
guyMittif you want some real change and hope
see thats what friends are foror is that against
Gives the name "Spot" a
whole NEW meaning...

The Local News
Helping Homeless
Succeed
M
ore than 8,000 people came to the in-
augural Ribs, Pigs and Watermelon
Summer Festival and Pro BBQ Com-
petition to support a program that changes
peoples lives by bringing the homeless off the
streets and helping them become self-sufficient.
My Smokin Grillfriend from Bakersfield
was selected Grand Champion from among 25
competitors in the recent Kansas City Barbeque
Society contest held in the Westminster Mall
Parking Lot.
You could feel the energy, positive vibes, en-
tertainment, carnival games and delicious food
tasting at the event for the worthwhile cause,
which has never been in more demand. Our
goal is to put us out of business, said Bob Mur-
phy of Fountain Valley, the General Manager
of American Family Housing (AFH). But
weve never been busier.
Their motto is, From Homeless to Hope to
Home. Giving the homeless a home, changes
their lives completely, said Sara Dodd, a Case
Manager for the group that has assisted more
than 30,000 homeless since 1985.
There are 5 main programs, which offer sup-
port to the homeless, who apply to get into the
program:
-Transitional Housing for Chronically
Homeless
-Transitional Housing for Families (West-
minster and Garden Grove)
-Transitional Housing for Single Women
with Children (Santa Ana)
-Permanent Supportive Housing for Families
with a Disability (Westminster and Huntington
Beach)
-Affordable Housing (San Bernardino, Or-
ange and Los Angeles Counties)
Jim Miller of Huntington Beach, who
worked in aerospace and founded Shelter for
the Homeless in 1985 (that became American
Family Housing), said the program teaches
clients about Mandatory Savings. Once
they leave us in a year or so, theyve learned
how to save $5,000-$7,000 in a Trust Fund, he
said. We teach them how to budget, how to
help themselves and their families, how to raise
their self-esteem, think positive, have faith and
find jobs.
Arlyne Ochoa, a Case Manager and Job
Coach, encourages clients ranging from an
aerospace executive, who recently lost his job,
home and family, to a single mother, who had
been abused, and her four kids. Were trying to
help the former executive find another job and
the mother to get promoted, Ochoa said.
What we really need to help us in the job
searches is for someone to donate laptop com-
puters.
If you would like to donate a laptop computer
or if your company has job openings, please
contact Arlyne at aochoa@afhusa.org. She said
they also are in need of companies or individu-
als to donate Scholarship Funds to help low in-
come adults pay their rent.
AFH, its caring staff and many volunteers
are making such a positive difference in these
very trying times, said former Huntington
Beach Mayor Peter Green, who serves on the
board, along with his wife, former HB Mayor
Cathy Green, and their son, Tom. Theyre tak-
ing thousands of homeless off the streets, giving
them hope, a home and a future. Its about cre-
ating self-supporting members of society. You
can change the World, one person at a time!
Many of the clients served, end up becoming
volunteers to help others.
Courtney Lutkus, Development Manager for
AFH, said its all about connecting our clients
with a network of support so they can gain their
independence and succeed. You can help them
by volunteering or donating (canned food,
household items, office supplies or money).
Some of their company supporters have been
Franciscos Automotive, AlliedBarton Security
Services, Smithfield, Williams Insurance Bro-
kers, ShockTop Belgian White Ale, Barbeques
Galore, Homegrown Cattle Company, Trader
Joes, Smart & Final, Target, Costco Wholesale,
United Healthcare, Huntington Beach Whole
Foods and others. Service organizations, such
as The Huntington Beach Host Lions Club,
support AFH as well.

ence? To find out more, visit the website

Kookies Beachwear, for 37 years an HB landmark, is no longer in the shopping center at Warner
and Pacific Coast Highway. The legendary store, packed to the brim with unusual hats, shirts,
wetsuits and everything else you need for the beach,
had to leave as the center gets renovated, according
to Kookie's owner, Stephen Pavlick. "The center's
going in a different direction." Pavlick has plans of
selling his items online and possibly at a local farm-
ers market. He's also looking around the area for an-
other possible store site. I remember shopping at
"the locals favorite" many times. It was a joy talking
to the Pavlick family, which operated it since 1975.
It's sad to see a famous landmark gone from its well-
known location. While I was looking through the
window at the empty store, several other regular
customers came up and were upset it was no
longer there. Stay tuned to find more informa-
tion on where Kookies new location will be.

Dear volunteers,
Sponsors, Golfers and
Guest:
WOW what a
GREAT DAY!! Our
First Annual "SeaCliff
Tee It Up For The
Troops" event was fan-
tastic! Planes,
Bands, Warriors,
Hero's, Congressman,
City dignitaries,
Olympians, Amy
Scruggs, Jim Hill, and
Jim Abbott all made the
event extra special and a
HUGE success. We're
still wiping the tears
away.
Every goal set was ex-
ceeded. The on course
food stations were great
and the SeaCliff CC
team delivered on every
front. The food was great, service flawless, golf shop, and on course set up
was perfect.
Our Auctioneer Jay Fiske was the hit of the night. He's the best of the best
and proved it again.
We can all be VERY proud. Not only did we knock it out of the park, it
was a GRAND SLAM!!
We are very humbled by the generosity of the
sponsors, our community and the tireless
commitment from all those who helped
exceed the highest expectations we
could have ever have imagined.
We're very honored to have
worked with all of you. Now, do
me a favor. Go to a mirror, smile,
and look at what a WINNING
TEAM member looks like...does-
n't it feel great!
Those in attendance are saying
"The Best Tournament Ever."
We can't wait until next year so we
can break the record.
Thank you,
Mark Mayes & Bob Lloyd
Tournament Co Chairs

I
n the last 20 years a phenomenon has
grown to enormous proportions. Started
by 4 football forecasters in the early 60's
who wanted to create a way to "closer cov-
erage of daily happenings in professional
football", it now has nearly 35 million par-
ticipants each year who put nearly $500
million on the line and is estimated that $3
billion is added to the economy by this phe-
nomenon. It is so popular that an exemption was made to the
"Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006" to con-
tinue to allow it. Yes, I am talking about Fantasy Football.
Here are some tips based on a standard 12 team
format and standard scoring as follows:
QB: 1 point for each 50 yards passing, 3 points
for every passing TD, 6 points for every rushing
TD and a 5 point bonus for going over 250 yards
passing.
RB/WR/TE: 1 point for each 20 yards rush-
ing/receiving, 6 points for every TD rushing or
receiving and a 5 point bonus for going over 100
yards rushing or receiving.
K: 1 point for each PAT, 3 points for every FG
and a 2 point bonus for FG's over 50 yards.
D: 10 points for keeping your opponent at 0
points, 5 points for keeping your opponent under
14 points, 6 points for every special teams or de-
fensive TD, 2 points for every fumble recovery or interception
and 1 point for each sack.
The first thing you are going to do is pick the draft order. If
you pick 1-6, that's a no brainer...choose to draft in one of the
first six slots. If you draw 7-12, choose to draw as close to the
12 slot that is available. The 12 slot gets to make the 12th and
the 13th pick as picks go back down the list in reverse order at
the end of each round..
The most important number to keep in your head is the num-
ber 16. You want as many starters (1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K,
1DT) on your team that can consistently get you 16 points more
weeks than not.
Here are some players (by position) that are likely to get you
that 16 points at least 50% of the time:
QB's: Aaron Rogers, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Matt Stafford,
Cam Newton and Eli Manning with a "yet to be seen" nod to
Peyton Manning, Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck.
RB's: Arian Foster, Ray Rice, Lesean McCoy, Marshawn
Lynch, Matt Forte, Adrian Peterson and Darren McFadden
with a "yet to be seen" nod to Maurice Jones Drew and Chris
Johnson.
WR's: Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson,
Roddy White, Greg Jennings, Mike Wallace, Wes Welker and
Hakeem Nicks with a "yet to be seen" nod to Vincent Jackson.
TE's: Rob Gronkowski, Jimmy Graham, Antonio Gates and
Vernon Davis with a "yet to be seen" nod to Jermaine Gresham
and Coby Fleener.
The first round is the most important pick you'll make all day.
Pick the absolute best player available no matter if it's a QB,
RB or WR. If you pick a QB in the first round then pick the
best available RB or WR (whichever is ranked highest to their
position). Example... if there is a 6th rank RB and a 9th rank
WR, pick the RB. If you pick a RB in the second round make
sure you pick up the best WR available in the third round. You
want to end the third round with a QB, RB and WR.
I would pick at TE as early as the 4th round. If you see
TE's start to go early, make sure you get one of those 4 listed
above. If all 4 go before you have a chance to draft them,
then it is more important to get a second RB and second WR
before drafting a TE.
There are many first tier Kickers and Defense is so volatile
that it is best to fill those slots in late rounds.
As always, if you have any
questions, comments or con-
cerns, please address
them to kevin_garo-
falo@verizon.net.
God bless you
and God bless
the United
States of
America.

ust recently I became aware of
the generous $170 million
offer President Obama made to
the farmers of Iowa while cam-
paigning in Iowa! Obama in-
formed the farmers that the
government would rescue them
from the unprecedented drought
that has been hindering crops and
subsequently putting animals at risk of starvation.
In a pre-emptive move to stave off disaster, he will
buy 170 million worth of lamb, beef,
pork, and catfish and freeze it until he
gets around to using it. The Depart-
ment of Defense will get some as well
as some food banks according to
Obama. President Obama also
strongly encouraged the vendors
working with government institutions
to buy livestock at his Super Drought
Sale. So farmers will get government
money and money from those doing
business with the government, too. Is
it just me or does this feel reminiscent
of an old Chicago style gangster
movie? Obama claims it is money we would have
spent anyway in referencing government food as-
sistance programs. I think Obama has gotten a little
ahead of himself. Food assistance from the Ameri-
can government comes in the form of cash benefits
formerly known as stamps. Americans are not yet
standing in Government food lines but I guess he has
a clearer picture of the future of America than we
do. One statement he made is trueit is certainly
money he would have spent anyway!
Speaking of the need for Government food lines,
if Obama and the Department of Defense and all
their friends buy up what is left of the starving live-
stock, and the crops around the country continue to
demise in record numbers, what will be left is likely
to be outrageously inflated food and of course the
food lines. Americans continue to slide deeper into
the abyss of govern-
ment dependency.
Score one for Obama.
Then there was the
unilateral decision
Obama made with an
executive order and his
version of a dream act.
Overnight Obama
agreed to offer legal
residency to anyone
under the age of 30,
without a violent crim-
inal record, with a high
school diploma, or
GED, or some voca-
tional training, or if they showed a reflection in a
mirror. One little catch: the recipients of this gift
must have been brought to this country illegally by
their parents, or a kidnapper, or they involuntarily
brought themselves. Darn! That will only qualify
about 1,850,000 new voters. I bet Obama is glad the
federal government is suing those ten states trying
to enforce that pesky voter I.D. law. Score two for
Obama.
Finally there is the old I believe in traditional
marriage between a man and a woman Obama and
the new I really need to get re-elected so I am fully
embracing gay marriage and so will every American
citizen or I will find ways to punish you Obama.
This bold move has empowered supporters to brand
those that are not like-minded hate-mongers. There
is no room for religion in socialism unless of course
you are something other than a Christian, Jew, Mor-
mon, or Catholic. Score three for Obama.
I do hope you like lamb, beef, pork and catfish.

Bridge understanding. Harmonize views. Promote altruism. Try best to be honest.
Try best to recognize mistakes. Allow safe refuge for community during troubled times.
Promote a community of decency. Act as mentors to the youth.
I am compassionate fiscal conservative. We should build on what the seniors in our
community passed on to us. I will work to ensure Public safety and economic safety
for all in our community.
Actions speak louder than words. I offer you a 12 year record of fighting as a fiscal
conservative, environment supporter and seniors' advocate. We cannot afford a
city council whose answer is tax and spend.
We have a growing population and decline in city services. ICAREabout this city
and its citizens. Im running for city council because I want to work to do what is best
for both.
HB has been my familys home for five generations and I have a passion for making
my hometown a better place to live. I am running to be the voice of our residents at
city hall.
I am a strong advocate for public safety, transparent government, the environment,
and managed growth. Principled, experienced, knowledgeable, dependable and com-
mitted. A vote for me is a vote for the safety and prosperity of Huntington Beach.
I will continue to bring the cost of Public Services in line with the private sector and
reinvest the savings back into City Services and Public Safety. www.devindwyer.org
As a Planning Commissioner for the past 4 years and a business owner in Huntington
Beach for over 35 years, I understand what is required to plan for the future to main-
tain our quality of life.
I will use common sense to help lead! I will place the taxpayer first in every decision!
I will help create a team to lead this community forward!
Council needs educated trained members to make proper decisions (Bachelors En-
gineering, Masters Business). Honesty and Integrity are utmost importance, (I hold
government clearances demanding highest standards), I want limited govt and to pro-
tect citizens freedoms.
Former school teacher, current law professor, committed to top tier schools. Former
prosecutor, enhanced public safety. Current lawyer (private judge/mediator), under-
stand risk management, conflicti issues. We need balance of strong commercial
growth preserve the essense of HB.
If we want to remain a full service city we have to adopt better fiscal policies. I will
work for our residents to make sure they have a voice in how their taxes are spent.

ELECTION EDITION
Their Political Focus - In Their Words
The hatching of eggs.. . . . .
For example:
-the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days;
-those of the canary in 14 days;
-those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;
-The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;
-those of the mallard in 35 days;
-The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42
days.
(Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number
of days in a week!)
Wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant. The
four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the
same direction. No other quadruped is so made.
Someone planned that this animal would have a
huge body, too large to live on two legs. For this rea-
son it was given four fulcrums so that it can rise
from the ground easily.
The horse rises from the ground on its two front
legs first. A cow rises from the ground with its two
hind legs first. How wise the Lord is in all His
works of creation!
More wisdom is revealed in the arrangement
of sections and segments, as well as in the
number of grains.
-Each watermelon has an even number of
stripes on the rind.
-Each orange has an even number of segments.
-Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.
-Each stalk of wheat has an even number of
grains.
-Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest
row an even number of bananas, and each row
decreases by one, so that one row has an even
number and the next row an odd number.
-The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-
six to the minute in all kinds of weather.
All grains are found in even numbers on the
stalks, and someone specified thirty fold,
sixty fold, and a hundred fold all even num-
bers.
Flowers bloom at certain specified
times during the day. Linnaeus, the
great botanist, once said that if he had
a conservatory containing the right
kind of soil, moisture and temper-
ature, he could tell the time of
day or night by the flowers that
were open and those that
were closed!
Hmmm. I wonder

our area residents - Dick Hansen, Jerry
Meras, Kevin Gjersten and Rod Loran - will
ride their bikes 2,000 miles over 21 days
from Huntington Beach, Cal., back to Woodbury
to raise money for Feed My Starving Children.
Patrick Johnson, Sports Editor, Woodbury Bul-
letin brings us a story of three Huntington Bach
residents with a passion, a mission and some im-
pressive goals.
Forty years ago, Dick Hansen and a group of
friends rode bicycles from Lacrosse, Wis., to Dal-
las, Tex. going 1,500 miles in 15 days. This week,
hell take a similar journey.
Hansen and three other area residents - Jerry
Meras, Kevin Gjersten and
Rod Loran - will ride their
bikes 2,000 miles over 21
days from Huntington Beach,
Cal., back to Woodbury to
raise money for Feed My
Starving Children. Beginning
on Aug. 11, the Miles 4 Meals
team will begin cycling, ap-
proximately 100 miles per
day, until reaching Woodbury
on Saturday, Sept. 1.
As I was getting prepared
for this I realized it was 40
years ago that I was doing this
too. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportu-
nity and Im getting a second opportunity
to try this, said Hanson, 60. I like the organization
as well. Ive been involved with Feed My Starving
Children the past two years. Its one of the best or-
ganizations Ive seen. The impact they have around
the world is huge.
According to the United Nations humanitarian
program UNICEF, 18,000 children die from star-
vation or from hunger-related illnesses every day.
Miles 4 Meals, a ministry of Woodburys Five
Oaks Church, is hoping to raise $110,000 to pro-
duce 500,000 meals for Feed My Starving Chil-
dren. The meals would feed 1,370 children every
day for a full year.
Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Chris-
tian organization. Volunteers hand pack rice- or po-
tato-based meals specifically formulated for
malnourished children. FMSC meals are distrib-
uted in nearly 70 countries through missionary
partnerships at orphanages, schools, clinics,
refugee camps and malnourishment centers.
Feed My Starving Childrens goal this year is to
pack 155,000,000 meals, Hansen said. Thats
what were going to be a part of. Were just a frac-
tion of their goal.

S
ay it aint so, Bud. Tell us, unequivocally,
that the Rocket is destined to flame out in
the relative obscurity of the Independent
Minor Leagues, not on a Major League mound.
When Roger Clemens signed a contract to pitch
for the Atlantic Leagues Sugar Land Skeeters,
the blogosphere was replete
with speculation that it was
an audition for a return to
MLB. Clemens tried to
douse those flames by say-
ing he was merely intent
on having fun, nothing
more. But with Clemens,
who has engaged in almost
as many comebacks as a
punch-drunk fighter, there
is always an end game. A
return to MLB had to be in the back - if not the
forefront - of his mind, especially if he pitched
well. And by all accounts, he did just that. Re-
sponding to a reporters question after the game,
an ecstatic Clemens said he would never close the
door on MLB.
Having thrown his last MLB pitch five years
ago, Roger will appear on the Hall of Fame ballot
for the first time this winter. However, should he
pitch in the Major Leagues before the end of the
season, Clemens would postpone his HOF eligi-
bility for another five years. Would an additional
five-year wait temper the voters perception of
him as a steroid cheat? Who knows? But a delay
would serve to separate Clemens, arguably the
greatest pitcher in
the modern era,
from another per-
ceived steroid
cheat, Barry
Bonds, the book-
end to Clemens as
this eras greatest
hitter, who will
also be on this
years ballot.
At least two MLB
clubs, the Kansas City Royals and Houston As-
tros, had scouts in attendance to monitor
Clemens recent performance. The Rocket
pitched for the Astros from 2004-06 and is said
to be golfing buddies with new owner Jim Crane.
The Astros have the worst record and, more im-
portantly as it relates to Clemens, the fourth worst
attendance in MLB this season. They are desper-
ate to create some buzz heading into what may
be the most significant off-season in the teams
history. Not only must they rebuild a moribund
franchise, but the team is gearing up for a change
of leagues next season, from the NL Central to
the AL West. The move was imposed on Crane
by MLB as a condition of his purchase in an ef-
fort to balance the leagues.
Clemens in an Astros uniform for a September
start would provide a shot in the arm for the fans
and the organization. Its also something that
should never happen. No way should Clemens
be allowed to suit up and provide a side show
during the most important time of the baseball
season. Bud Selig prides himself in doing what
is in the best interest of baseball. This is an op-
portunity to prove that.

Approximately
75 sponsor

This is an excel-

atmosphere.
In addition to the
sponsor booths, there

pists, home health
agencies, senior living
communities, physical
fitness professionals,

many other businesses
and organizations.
Many exhibitors will
be offering free health
screenings and giving
away goodies and dis-
counts.
Pier Plaza is located
adjacent to the Hunt-
ington Beach Pier at
the intersection of
Main St. and Pacific
Coast Highway. There
will be a free shuttle
service running every
15 minutes from City
Hall and Rodgers Sen-
iors Center. City Hall
is located at 2000 Main
Street and the Senior

Traumati c
Brai n I nj uri es
P
eople who are injured in an accident can suffer many
different kinds of injuries. Among the most serious,
as well as the hardest to diagnose and treat, are so-
called traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), sometimes also
know as closed-head trauma. TBIs send more then
400,000 people to the hospital for treatment each year,
three-quarters of whom are males between the ages
of 15 and 34. This group is over-represented be-
cause of the lifestyle that many of the accident
victims lead: riding motorcycles with helmet,
participating in dangerous sports, drinking too
much, and getting into car accidents. Al-
though the majority of these injuries are
moderate to mild, even a minor TBI can
cause the victim to suffer serious problem.
Difficulty Treating TBIs
The problem with treating TBIs is that
man doctors are not adequately trained
in the neuroscience of head injuries
and are unable to properly diagnose
the injury when they encounter one.
Although most doctors are capable of rec-
ognizing serious TBIs (such as those that
put a victim in a coma), the less debilitating
TBIs are more difficult to diagnose because
there are often few outward signs of the in-
ternal injury. This misunder-
standing of the symptoms of
moderate TBIs has a number of
serious negative consequences,
both medical and legal.
Many people who suffer such
TBIs do not receive the appropriate treatment. The long-term
effects of a TBI can include many and varied symptoms,
often related to brain functions, such as seizures, head-aches,
dizziness, and problems with memory and concentration.
However, TBIs can cause other symptoms not commonly as-
sociated with the brain, including loss of
motors control, fatigue depres-
sion, speech disorders, anxi-
ety, sexual dysfunction,
and a short temper, as
well as an increased
chance of getting lost
or becoming agi-
tated.
Given the variety
of symptoms and
the difficulty some
doctors have con-
necting them to TBI,
treatment is often de-
layed or not provided at
all, and the patient contin-
ues to suffer, often unaware
of the cause of the problems.
Even when a TBI victim has
been correctly diagnosed, the
variety of symp-
toms can make
treatment expen-
sive and difficult.
Legal Obstacles
Legally, it is often difficult to prove that symptoms suffered
by a TBI victim are directly related to the TBI. Because doc-
tors can be slow to diagnose the connection, proving that a
TBI has caused the symptoms that a person describes to the
injury in court can be difficult.
Compounding the problem of the doctors slow diagnosis,
many of the people who serve on juries have trouble believing
that a head injury can cause so many different problems, not
all of which are related to the victims brain function. All of
these factors make it more difficult for a TBI victims to win
a full recovery of damages for the injury.
Lessons Learned
Several lessons can be drawn from this. If you have suf-
fered a TBI, even a minor one, and are suffering from
symptoms that you never experienced before being injured,
stay on top of your health care providers. While not all
symptoms that a person may suffer from are necessarily
cause by a TBI, the range of symptoms is great and it may
take some time to get a correct diagnosis.
If you are involved in a lawsuit where you or a loved one
suffered a TBI, be sure to retain qualified counsel to help
you prepare and present what can
be a difficult and complex case.
This way you can help ensure
that you are fully compensated
for all of the injuries that you or
yours have suffered.

Dear Earth-
Talk: What exactly
is the federal govern-
ments Recreational Trails
Program and is it true that its on the chopping block?
~ Randy Caldwell, Lyme, NH
The Recreational Trails Program (RTP) is a federal
assistance program that helps states pay for the devel-
opment and maintenance of recreational trails and trail-
related facilities for both non-motorized and motorized
recreational trail uses. The Congressionally mandated
program was in jeopardy due to budget cuts, but its
backers in Congress announced this past July that RTP
would be retained to the tune of $85 million per year as
part of the new surface transportation agreement law
called MAP-21.
Minnesota Dem-
ocratic Senator
Amy Klobuchar
was instrumental
in the retention of
RTP by introduc-
ing it as an
amendment to
MAP-21 as a
stand-alone pro-
gram with its
own dedicated
funding.
Overall, MAP-
21 allocates $105
billion for fiscal
years 2013 and
2014 to improve safety, reduce traffic congestion, main-
tain infrastructure and improve the overall efficiency of
highway transportation. RTP is one of several provi-
sions of MAP-21 that bolster transit, bike and pedestrian
programs across the country.
Funding for the RTP portion of MAP-21 comes
from a portion of the motor fuel excise tax collected
across the country from non-highway recreational fuel
use in snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, off-highway
motorcycles and off-highway light trucks, and comes
out of the Federal Highway Trust Fund. Half of the
RTP funds are distributed equally among all 50 states,
and half are distributed in proportion to the estimated
amount of non-highway recreational fuel use in each
state. Individual states are responsible for administer-
ing their own RTP monies and soliciting and selecting
qualifying projects.
That said, the use of RTP funding is restricted to
maintenance and restoration of existing trails, develop-
ment and rehabilitation of trailside and trailhead facili-
ties and trail linkages, purchase and lease of trail
construction and
ma i nt e na nc e
equipment, con-
struction of new
trails, acquisition
of easements or
property for
trails, and assess-
ment of trail con-
ditions for
accessibility and
mai nt enance.
RTP funding
may not go to-
ward property
condemnation
(eminent do-
main), construc-
tion of new trails for motorized use on federally
managed public lands or for facilitating motorized ac-
cess on otherwise non-motorized trails.
States must allocate 30 percent of their RTP funding
for motorized trail use, 30 percent for non-motorized
use, and the remaining 40 percent for so-called di-
verse (motorized and non-motorized) trail use. Projects
may satisfy two categories at the same time, giving
states some flexibility in how to allocate their share of
the RTP pie. States can use up to five percent of their
funds to disseminate related publications and operate
educational programs to promote safety and environ-
mental protection related to trails.
Trail lovers across the country are thrilled that Con-
gress extended RTP, which began in 2005 with a $60
million allocation and was increased each of the follow-
ing years until it plateaued at $85 million in 2009. The
continuation of the $85 million allocation was also good
news to those who feared that if it wasnt cut entirely it
would be scaled back significantly. With new funding
for the next two years, Americans can look forward to
the creation of many new trails and continued mainte-
nance of existing ones.

L
ast week, nearly 400 wine writ-
ers gathered in Portland, Ore-
gon, for the fifth annual Wine
Bloggers' Conference.
The event opened with a keynote
speech from Randall Grahm, the legendary vintner be-
hind Bonny Doon Vineyard, who urged attendees to
"support originality and
strangeness, two fea-
tures that the wine busi-
ness, especially in the
New World, desperately
needs."
It'd be hard to ignore
the fact that Grahm was
urging the audience to
embrace more wine-
makers like himself.
Grahm rose to fame
in the 1980s thanks to
his originality -- he was
among the first Ameri-
can winemakers to em-
brace Rhone varieties
like Syrah and
Grenache. And Grahm
is proudly strange. For most of his career, he was best
known for his flamboyant and irreverent marketing cam-
paigns. Six years ago, he famously decided to cast aside
his three biggest wine brands in order to focus on small-
production wines made with minimal intervention.
Such originality and strangeness should be applauded.
And fortunately, more and more winemakers are follow-
ing in Grahm's footsteps.
For some, this means introducing Americans to ob-
scure grapes.
Consider Red Tail Ridge Winery on Seneca Lake in
New York. Like most producers in the Finger Lakes, Red
Tail Ridge makes a number of different Rieslings. But it
also produces varieties like Teroldego, a red wine that
hails from northeast Italy, and Blaufrankisch, Austria's
signature red wine.
Or look at Chateau O'Brien in the Blue Ridge Moun-
tains of northern Virginia. Its flagship wine is a Tannat,
a grape that's typically associated with Uruguay. On a re-
cent visit to the winery, I was extremely impressed by its
Petit Manseng, even though the variety is historically
used in southwest France as an unremarkable blending
grape.
Chateau O'Brien and Red Tail Ridge aren't alone.
Across the country, countless producers are introducing
consumers to unfamiliar grapes.
For other winemakers, originality and strangeness
means jettisoning modern winemaking techniques and
mimicking the producers of yesteryear.
Just think about the arsenal of tools today's winemak-
ers can employ.
On the vineyard, viticulturists can ensure that their
vines receive the perfect amount of water through irri-
gation. With chemical fertilizers, grape growers can
maintain textbook levels of soil nutrients. By using pes-
ticides and herbicides, growers can protect their grapes
from fungi and invasive weeds.
In the cellar, winemakers can manipulate their wines
in a number of ways. Adding sugar just before fermen-
tation can raise alcohol; using a specialized filtration sys-
tem can lower it. Winemakers can make a wine seem
fresher by adding tartaric acid. Aging wine in oak barrels
is expensive; using oak chips saves money and time.
Adding a small amount of grape juice concentrate to a
wine can mask vegetal aromas.
These practices aren't necessarily bad -- many are crit-
ical in the production of affordable, consistent, commer-
cial wine. But they make it difficult for a wine to express
a sense of place. That
"sense of place" -- or ter-
roir -- is what makes
wine special. It's why
two wines made from
adjacent vineyards can
taste distinctively differ-
ent from each other.
The pursuit of terroir
inspires numerous winemakers to produce wine as if
they're living in ancient times. For longtime California
producer Steve Edmunds, who, like Randall Grahm, is
known for his focus on Rhone varieties, this makes per-
fect sense.
"Winemaking isn't Rocket Science," he explains on
his website. "It's an ancient, relatively straightforward
process that should yield, in any wine, a precise expres-
sion of the vineyard and the season that produced it."
Even big wineries have started to move in this direc-
tion. Since 2007, Sonoma's Benziger Family Winery has
pursued "the highest level of natural farming appropri-
ate" for each of its vineyards, not solely because of en-
vironmental concerns, but because the Benziger family
believes such practices help produce more honest, au-
thentic wine.
As Grahm finished his speech in Portland, he urged
the audience to "speak up on behalf . . . of those who are
innovating new styles, or preserving something pre-
cious." Every year, it seems as if an increasing number
of American winemakers are doing just that. It's a devel-
opment worth celebrating.

ost culinary experts will tell
you that you must start with the
right ingredients. Golden West
college did by selecting a benefactor for
their charitable efforts rich in patriotism
and full of commitment and dedication.
Golden West College (GWC) will hold
the 7th annual Chefs for Scholarships, an
event to raise
money for student
scholarships, on
Sunday, September
23 on the beautiful
GWC campus from
4 to 7 p.m.
A popular annual
family fun event,
Chefs for Scholar-
ships will feature
over 30 local
restaurants, winer-
ies and breweries
serving scrump-
tious signature food and beverage sam-
ples for the guests. In addition to the food,
there will be entertainment for the whole
family.
This years event will again honor our
brave fighting men and women by sup-
porting the educational needs of our re-
turning veterans. Three former combat
veterans training for a new career as Po-
lice Officers in GWCs Police Academy
appreciate the assistance they received
through a GWC Patrons Scholarship.
Serving in the Navy influenced Police
Academy recruit Joseph Costellis deci-
sion to pursue a career in law enforce-
ment. It made me realize that I take
pride in a job of service, said Costelli. I
found out that I enjoy the challenge, and
I enjoy being held to a higher standard.
This scholarship is the missing link be-
tween myself and my dream of complet-
ing the Academy.
Academy recruit Tim Thai says Being
in Iraq and performing my job helped fire
my passion to pursue my dream as a law
enforcement officer.
My military training
and experience
helped me prepare
myself mentally and
physically to attend
this academy well
prepared. Being
awarded this schol-
arship has brought
up my motivation to
give this program
100%.
Army veteran Jim
Nguyen agrees that
the Patrons Scholarship has helped him
fulfill his dream. It has taken a burden
off my shoulder. With the help of this
scholarship, I am one step closer to being
where I want to be. I am ready to step into
this role as a Peace Officer and give back
to my community.

o give perspective, 1910 was just 35 years before I
was born so most of these accomplishments oc-
curred during my lifetime. And all I ever got from
the drug store was a milkshake.I recall working shoveling

as a boy in
mid 50s for
a buck and
later work-
ing on a fruit

Read this
to your chil-
dren and/or
grandchil-
dren!
The year
is 1910, over
one hundred
years ago. What a difference a century makes!
Here are some statistics for the Year 1910:
The average life expectancy for men was 47 years.
Fuel for this car was sold in drug stores only.
Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.
Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.
There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles of paved
roads.
The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.
The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower!
The average US wage in 1910 was 22 cents per hour.
The average US worker made between $200 and $400 per
year.
A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per
year, a dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian
Between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical
engineer about $5,000 per year.
More than 95 percent of all births took place at HOME.
Ninety percent of all Doctors had NO COLLEGE EDU-
CATION! Instead, they attended so-called medical
schools, many of which were condemned in the press AND
the government as 'substandard.'
Sugar cost four cents a pound.
Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.
Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.
Most women only washed their hair once a month, and
used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.
Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from
entering into their country for any reason.
The Five leading causes of death were:
1. Pneumonia and influenza
2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea
4. Heart disease
5. Stroke
The American flag had 45 stars.
The population of Las Vegas, Nevada was only 30!
Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been
invented yet.
There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day.
Two out of every 10 adults couldn't read or write and only
6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school.
Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over
the counter at the local corner drugstores. Back then phar-
macists said, 'Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoy-
ancy to the mind, Regulates the stomach and bowels, and
is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health'
Eighteen percent of households had at least one full-time
servant or domestic help.
There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE
U.S.A.!
I am now going to forward this to someone else without
typing it myself.
From there, it will be sent to others all over the WORLD
- all in a matter of seconds!
Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years.

Study: 3 in 4 U.S. Adults
Believe IN-Car Technology
Is Too Distracting
P
eter Bigelow, AOL Auto is no starnger to
hi tech...but makes his point here that per-
haps automakers have to slow down on
some interactive gadgets... "In recent years, au-
tomakers have rushed to introduce all sorts of
technology that keeps drivers connected to their
mobile devices, cell phones, email accounts and
music while they're on the road. Maybe it's time
they pause
and recon-
sider.
Y o u n g
drivers, to-
ward whom
much of that
in-car con-
nectivity is
geared, aren't
as interested
in driving as
much as pre-
vious gener-
a t i o n s ,
according to
many new
studies. And now a study released Wednesday
says more than 3 of 4 adult U.S. car owners are
wary of all that new technology.
Seventy-six percent of the 2,634 adults sur-
veyed by Harris Interactive believe in-car tech-
nologies are too distracting and dangerous. More
than half, 55 percent, say automakers have taken
technology too far.
"The fear of technology distraction seems to
outweigh the other perceived benefits of having
in-car connectivity options," said Mike Chad-
sey, a vice president of Harris Interactive. "Car
makers should take note. Depending on the
generation of their target market, in-car connec-
tivity can have influence on the buying deci-
sion, but too much of a good thing may just be
too much."
Polling split along generational lines. At 39 per-
cent, Baby Boomers find staying connected least
important, while 58 percent of 18-to-35-year-olds
say it's important."
Interest in connectivity splits along generational lines, according to poll
R
eaching across the South West...the Colorado Springs Gazette brings tells us how two
hundredths of a second meant the fulfillment of an 18-year record quest for one driver
and disgust for another...and how Huntington each, Ca gets the spotlight...
"Funny that such a tiny margin essentially the blink of an eye would decide a Pikes
Peak International Hill Climb that dragged into the evening because of crashes and delays
so that the final 15 competitors raced a shortened course.
Amid the commotion that included a burned-out engine for defending champion and
record-holder Nobuhiro Monster Tajima, emerged one of the races best finishes in its
90-year history, the first year that Pikes Peak Highway was fully paved.
Rhys Millen blazed up the mountain in 9 minutes, 46.16 seconds just 10 spots after
Frenchmen Romain Dumas set a shortlived record time of 9:46.18.
For Millen, whose father, Rod Millen, held the mountains speed record from 1994
through 1997, it was en emotional triumph. For 18 years he had chased that record, at
times running $1 million cars that he owned.
The record finally came in a year when his sponsors did not provide a top ride and he
instead drove a production car.
This is just unbelievable, Millen said. We just competed against the best in the world
and beat them.
While Millen raised his hands in jubilation when the times were read; Dumas dropped
his head in disappointment and anger.
Dumas was livid that the race was organized by class instead of overall time. Because
it was set up as it was, he
drove in rainier conditions
than many drivers including
Millen. He would have pre-
ferred the top drivers to go in
succession and in similar con-
ditions, particularly earlier in
the day before the mountain
was covered in rain and ice.
Worth Noting: The overall
course record was the 9:51.278
set last year by Japans
Nobuhiro Tajima in winning
the Unlimited Crown. He had
an electric car in 2012."

I
f you just financed or refinanced your
home only a few months ago, can you re-
ally do it again so quickly? As long as
theres benefit, yes.
Theres a common misconception amongst
homeowners that they are required to hold onto
a mortgage for a minimum length of time before
they are eligible to refinance into more favorable
terms. This simply isnt true. Unfortunately this
falsity has been fueled by the mortgage industry
itself. Mortgage professionals will often tell
homeowners they cant refinance for a minimum
of six months, but this is typically a
blatant lie to protect their own interests.
Mortgage professionals are commission based
and are paid after a loan closes. Banks are will-
ing to pay this commission to the agent based on
the future interest theyll make on the loan.
There is a provision, however, that the loan must
survive a minimum timeframe. If the loan is
paid off, closed out, or refinanced within the first
few months the agent typically needs to pay
back the entire commission. It is for this reason
that some mortgage professionals will tell
homeowners that they cant refinance again for
this time frame, typically six months. Any li-
censed professional knows that they have
an obligation to protect the best inter-
ests of their client, so
anyone who propa-
gates this decep-
tiveness is
operating both
unethically and
(potentially)
illegally.
In reality, there
is nothing that pre-
vents homeowners
from refinancing
shortly after their last
loan. Someone who
obtained a 30 year
fixed at 4.0% earlier
this year might want
to take advantage of todays 3.5% rate. Those
who locked in a 15 year fixed at 3.5% might
want to lock in a lower 3.0% rate. And since
these rates can be available with no points, fees
or closing costs of any kind, theres absolutely
nothing to prevent a homeowner from doing it
again. As long as theres benefit to the home-
owner, there is no law or provision to prevent it.
There is a rule which applies to homes that
were purchased within the last six months.
This underwriting guideline does not prevent
a refinance from occurring, it merely states
that the approval cannot be based on a value
higher than the purchase price if refinanced
within the first six months. So homeowners
who purchased a home under market price, or
who have made significant improvements or
remodeled a home to add value might want to
wait out the six months to benefit from that
appreciation. But these individuals would do
well to consult their mortgage professional
first to learn if the extra value would even
make a difference. Rates are so low right now
that moving fast is sometimes better.
