My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Op-

timism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and opti-

mistic. And well change the world.

~ Jack Layton

TODAYSQUOTE

There Is a Little Jesse In All Of UsAs a boy, Jesse was a chicken plucker.He stood on a line in a chicken factory and spent

his days pulling the feathers off dead chickens so therest of us wouldn't have to. It wasn't much of a job.But at the time, Jesse didn't think he was much of aperson.

His father was a brute of a man. His dad was actu-ally thought to be mentally ill

And treated Jesse rough all of his life... Jesse's olderbrother wasn't much better.

He was always picking on Jesse and beating himup. Yes, Jesse grew up in a very rough home in

West Virginia. Life was anything but easy. And hethought life didn't hold much hope for him.

That's why he was standing in this chicken line,Doing a job that darn few people wanted.

In addition to all the rough treatment at home, itseems That Jesse was always sick.

Sometimes it was real physical illness, But way too

often it was all in his head. He was a small child,skinny and meek. That sure didn't help the situationany.

When he started to school, he was the object ofevery Bully on the playground. He was a hypochon-driac of the first order. For Jesse, tomorrow was notalways something he

Looked forward to.But, he had dreams. He wanted to be a ventrilo-

quist. He found books on ventriloquism. He practicedwith Sock puppets and saved his hard earned dollarsuntil He could get a real ventriloquist dummy. Whenhe got old enough, he joined the military. And eventhough many of his hypochondriac symptoms Per-sisted, the military did recognize his talents and

Put him in the entertainment corp. That was whenhis world changed. He gained confidence.

He found that he had a talent for making peoplelaugh, And laugh so hard they often had tears in theireyes. Yes, little Jesse had found himself.

You know, folks, the history books are full of peo-ple Who overcame a handicap to go on and make asuccess Of themselves, but Jesse is one of the few Iknow of Who didn't overcome it. Instead he used hisparanoia To make a million dollars, and become oneof The best-loved characters of all time in doing it!

Yes, that little paranoid hypochondriac, who trans-ferred His nervousness into a successful career, stillholds the Record for the most Emmy's given in a sin-gle category. The wonderful, gifted, talented, andnervous comedian Who brought us

Barney Fife (The Andy Griffith Show) Was JesseDon Knotts.

INEPTOLOGY.......... new English word:(Read the T-shirt) Every once in a while somebodyhits it right out of the park.......This is not yet foundin the Oxford dictionary, so it was "Googled" and dis-covered to be a recently "coined" new word found onT-shirts on eBay: Read this one over slowly and ab-sorb the facts that are within this definition!

Acab driver reaches the pearly gates. St. Peter

looks him up in his Big Book and tells him

to pick up a gold staff and a silk robe and

proceed into Heaven. Next in line is a preacher.

St. Peter looks him up in his Big Book,furrows his brow and says, "OK,

we'll let you in, but take that cloth

robe and wooden staff." The

preacher is shocked and replies,

"But I am a man of the cloth.

You gave that cab driver a gold

staff and a silk robe. Surely I rate

higher than a cabbie!" St. Peter

responds matter-of-factly, "This is

Heaven and up here, we are inter-

ested in results. When you preached,

people slept. When the cabbie drove his taxi,

people prayed."

I Quack Me Up

We believe and practice being fully involved with the communities we serve.

This is essential in building good will, encouraging growth and above all staying connected in our backyard

ity Attorney Jennifer McGrath announced that the Court of Ap-peals has ruled in favor of the City in the Senior Center litigation

(Parks Legal Defense Fund vs. City of Huntington Beach).Todays ruling resolves litigation filed in response to the Citywide ap-proval to construct a senior center in Central Park in 2006. The litigationchallenged the Measure C vote, the General Plan, the use of park funds,and the environmental review.

The parties litigated the case with varying levels is success. This caseresolves those issues in the City's favor. There are some minimal cleanup outstanding items; however, those issues should be resolved soon.

"We have a thriving and active senior community in Huntington Beachand they have been waiting patiently for eight years for their new SeniorCenter," said McGrath. "This decision finally resolves the issue."

In 2004, the City proposed to construct an approximately 45,000 squarefoot senior center on city-owned land within Central Park to replace theantiquated Rodgers Senior Center near downtown. Per the Citys MeasureC obligation which requires voter approval on large construction projectsin parks, voters in 2006 approved the construction of proposed SeniorCenter. The proposed Senior Center was subsequently challenged byParks Legal Defense Fund. The City prevailed in Superior Court in 2008and that decision was appealed leading to todays ruling in which the Cityprevailed once again.House report

junct professor at Gujarat National Law University. Inthe run-up to Indias historic elections, Hitesh decidedto leave corporate life and joined an Indian non-profit,non-partisan organization, CELL, --the Center for Eth-ical Life and Leadership on October 2nd, 2013----Ma-hatma Gandhi's birthday, commemorated widely as a'day of service.'

There he worked closely with the corporate sectorto enact various reforms resulting in an increase in hun-dreds of thousands of newly registered voters and realchanges to the voter registration process. He has sincebeen described in many publications as a "voter regis-tration crusader." In India, Hitesh was often referred toas an NRI, Non-Resident Indian, a term applied toIndians who lived abroad and then came back to India,but he would proudly state he was an NRA, a Non-Resident American, as he considered himself an Amer-ican through and through.

Hiteshs fathers was the vanguard for family, emi-grating from India in the 1970s and helping extendedrelatives to follow suit. However, Hitesh was the onlyone to return to his treasured India out of the 101 fam-

ily members who eventually settled down in the UnitedStates.In the spring of 2014, Hitesh threw his weight behind

the campaign of Narendra Modi, the now Prime Min-ister of India. The hopes pinned on Modi to change thepolitical dynastic status quo were electric, reminiscentof President Obamas 2008 campaign. Hiteshs valueto Modis campaign quickly became obvious, and be-fore long he was getting calls from Modi for talking

points for upcoming speeches.As soon as Modi had been declared the winner of the

elections, Hitesh returned to his beloved ancestral vil-lage Bhalod, in Gujarat State for a short visit. There,in the river Narmada, where he has swam hundreds oftimes, he was attacked by a crocodile and drowned onthe morning of May 21st 2014.

His family was invited to Prime Minister Modis of-fice and condoled by him personally.

Hitesh lives on in his three beautiful boys, Rohun,age 9, Jaymul, age 6, Tanish age 4, as well as his wifeNimisha, father and mother, Tarulata and SurendraBarot, and sister and husband, Dipti Barot and MarcLispi.

What is obvious to the reader of Hitesh's life is thatnationality, ethnic focus was not what this youngman was about. Through education, a core familybelief system, Hitesh set out to change the world andcame close to achieving his goals. What an adven-ture! What a young man...what a family to havehelped create the framework for Hitesh to developinto. Not surprising since I knew his family their

first generation, incredibly hardworking work ethicand perhaps, in some small way...the HuntingtonBeach experience based on such a loving, caringcommunity...perhaps played a small part in the enor-mous success story of a young man taken much tooearly to his next calling. Undoubtedly, his godneeded a well educated, intellectual leader to helphim perhaps reorganize some societal issues in agreater community.

The information contained in this column does notnecessarily reflect the opinion of The Local News.

Jordan Kobritz is a former attorney, CPA, andMinor League Baseball team owner. He is a Pro-fessor and Chair of the Sport Management Depart-ment at SUNY Cortland and is a contributing authorto the Business of Sports Network and maintains theblog: http://sportsbeyondthelines.com Jordan canbe reached at [email protected]

Agroup of nine team owners repre-senting 25 cars in NASCARs pre-mier Sprint Cup series recently

announced the formation of the Race TeamAlliance (RTA), signaling a potentially seismic change in the sport of stockcar racing.

The RTA could be the best thing to ever happen to the sport and the worstnightmare for the France family, owners of NASCAR since it was first organ-ized in 1948. Unlike traditional sports where the governing body is run byteam owners who elect a commissioner, when Bill France, Sr. formedNASCAR he anointed himself as thebenevolent dictator. Although the thirdgeneration of the France family nowowns NASCAR, little has changed in

how the sport operates. NASCAR sanc-tions races, negotiates national sponsor-ship and television contracts, disciplinesteams and drivers, and makes up therules of the sport as it goes along.

In addition to NASCAR, the Francefamily controls International SpeedwayCorporation which owns or operates 13tracks that host 19 of the 36 races thatcomprise the Sprint Cup schedule.

In announcing the new alliance, RTAschairman, Rob Kauffman, co-owner ofMichael Waltrip Racing, went out of his way to emphasize that thegroup is a business alliance, not a union. Kauffman emphaticallystated that the organizations primary goals were to pool resources

and buying power to generate additional revenue and reduce costs.In an interview with USA Today, Kauffman mentioned car parts and

hotel rooms as expense items the RTA would soon address. He frequentlyused the word collaborative in reference to how the group intended to workwith NASCAR in a calculated effort to avoid sounding confrontational.

But the governing body may have different plans. In an interview followingRTAs announcement, NASCAR president Mike Helton said the sanctioningbody would continue to operate the way we have for the past six decades.Helton went on to say, we make decisions by listening to a lot of indi-vidual stakeholders in the garage area. Every car owner in here has a voice,crew members, drivers, crew chiefs. And we take that input and we make whatwe think are the best decisions that are good for the whole sport. We will con-tinue to operate that way. It doesnt take a code-talker to parse those words:NASCAR will listen to individuals, but dont expect it to negotiate with a col-lective body as other sports are required to do.

NASCAR recently signed a 10-year, $8.2 billion

TV deal with Fox and NBC that will kick in nextyear. Approximately 65% of those revenues arecurrently allocated to the tracks, 25% to the teamsand NASCAR retains 10% for itself. Will the RTAattempt to renegotiate those percentages? Only timewill tell. But one thing is certain: More collabora-tion in the sport is on the horizon.

Posted by Beth Macy posted this sad, sad, excel-lently written min -novel from The New Yorker.If you read but one short story this year...make it

this. The historical, political, human, economic realitylaced between these lines are power, poignant and aboveall a view of the past, present and future.

Bassett Furniture Corporate Office in Bassett, Vir-ginia, 2012.

A line at a food bank in Henry County, Virginia, 2010.Leonard R. Joneswho was affected by the regions

loss of manufacturing jobsat his home inMartinsville, Virginia, 2010.

An abandoned lumber mill in Martinsville,Virginia, 2010.

In the mid-twentieth century, Bassett Furni-ture Industries, in Bassett, Virginia, was one ofthe largest wood-furniture makers in the world.Its name was the one often inscribed on the

back of the bedroom suites behind Door Num-ber Three on Lets Make a Deal. The BabyBoom was on, and people needed to furnish thehomes they were buying in the suburbs.

Bassett employed thousands of local people

in several factories in town. The J. D. BassettManufacturing Company, one of the firms sub-sidiaries, built mid-priced bedroom and dining-room furniture, and Bassett Superior Linesmade the companys lower-priced suites. In be-tween, other plants specialized in chairs, tables,and fiberboard supplies.

Then, in recent decades, came a familiarchallenge: Bassett was undercut by importsfrom Asia and under pressure from sharehold-ers to improve its profit margins. By 2007, ithad closed all the plants in Bassett and decidedto focus on importing wood products fromlower-wage factories in China, Vietnam, andIndonesia. These days, Bassett Furniture placesmore emphasis, in the U.S., on retail stores,called Bassett Home Furnishings, where it sells

mostly imported wood products and custom-made upholstery. In Bassetts home county, thecompany now employs only two hundred andfifty people or so. Counting those stores, cor-

porate and warehouse facilities, and its two re-maining factoriesboth outside of Bassettitnow employs fifteen hundred people, downfrom ten thousand workers at its peak in theeighties.

The Bassett factory closings came not longafter many of the regions textile plants hadclosed for the same reasons. Between 2001 and2012, more than sixty-three thousand U.S. fac-tories closedfurniture and clothing mills,shoe and machine-tool factories. There werefew places in America where the job losses feltas concentrated as along the eight-mile stretch

of the Smith River that is home to Bassett, inthe red-clay foothills of Virginias Blue RidgeMountains. In that area, some nineteen thou-sand workers in the region were displaced be-tween 1990 and 2013.

The situation in Bassett is unusual, though.Unlike in many mill-towns-turned-ghost towns,Bassett workers know about a group of workerssimilar to them, in a town much like theirs, thathas managed to thrive despite the effects ofglobalization.

That town, seventy miles away, is calledGalax. It is the workplace of John Bassett III, aonetime heir to Bassett Furniture who, in 1982,was elbowed out of Bassettthe company andthe townby his older brother-in-law, BobSpilman, who had visions of his son, Rob, suc-ceeding him as C.E.O.

There, John Bassett resurrected a strugglingfurniture company called Vaughan-Bassett. In2003, he organized the filing of what was thenthe worlds largest petition against China overdumping, the illegal practice of selling ex-

ports to the U.S. that are priced lower than thecost of their materials. He won. (I document the

battle in my forthcoming book Factory Man.)Vaughan-Bassett ended up with forty-six million dollarsin anti-dumping duties, a development that allowed JohnBassett to keep his factory going at the same time as hisrelatives in Bassett were closing most of theirs. (BassettFurniture received $17.5 million in duties but used mostof the money to buttress its retail expansion.)

Today, Vaughan-Bassett is an outlier in its industryone of the last bedroom-furniture makers left, as well asthe largest. Vaughan-Bassett employs seven hundred

people in Galax.

The landscape of Bassett, meanwhile, is deserted.During my initial visit, in 2011 (I returned many timesin the following years), I was greeted by a crookedclosed sign in a caf window and an African-Ameri-can graveyard whose headstones were cloaked in kudzu.Bassett Furnitures plants sat abandoned on the sides of

the company towns major roads, cordoned off withchain-link fencing and razor wire. At the old John D.Bassett High School, retirees met for exercise in thegymnasium, and residents came weekly for free soup

and gently worn clothes. Not long ago, a civic leaderwas approached outside a pharmacy by a stranger offer-ing a hundred dollars if shed purchase the cold medi-cine pseudoephedrinean ingredient for cookingmethamphetamine. Every displaced line worker I inter-viewed told me that if John had stayed at Bassett someof the towns factories especially Superiormightstill be running.

Bassett Furnitures C.E.O., Rob Spilmanthe son ofBob, who pushed John out of Bassettbelieves the clo-

sures, however painful, were needed in order to keepBassett from having to shut down. Weve been a publiccompany since 1930, with shareholders that have to get

profits, he told me. At the end of the day, we are not asocial experiment. Vaughan-Bassett, in Galax, is pri-vately held; Bassett Furniture is public.

In 2011, Henry County Sheriffs deputies arrested athirty-four-year-old man named Silas Crane for breakinginto the J. D. Bassett plant. The brick building held cop-

per wiring that Crane intended to rip out and resell onthe black market. But he accidentally set the placeon fire, burning himself and a trove of warehousedcharity goods.

Bassett Furniture was in the process of razing theabandoned Superior building when it, too, caughtfire one blustery afternoon in March, 2012. Windswere so strong that the conflagration could not becontained, and the adjacent Bassett Table Com-

pany became engulfed, too. Firefighters did man-age to keep the flames away from a nearbycompany warehouse that was stocked with the im-

ports that had rendered the two factoriesand theseven hundred workers whod once worked in

themobsolete.Displaced workers from across the county drove

old pickups and dented sedans to pay their re-spects, getting as close as they could to the smokeand flames.

False rumors had been circulating, before thefire, that Bassett planned to ship the bricks fromthe Superior building to China. Maxine Brown, alaid-off worker, told me, China could get our jobs,our timber, our whole nine yards. But when the

building caught fire I thought, At least thats onebrick you wont get.

Over the next year, dozens of people stopped bythe charred remains of the plant to collect a keep-sake brick. It wasnt just nostalgia that broughtthem. Sure, they were proud of the work theyddone in those factories, of the friendships theyd

formed while culling lumber and carpooling tosave on gas. But the people of Bassett also wantedproof of how badly things had ended for them.

Economists, politicians, and others had predictedthat trade liberalization, in the nineties and aughts,would help American workers whose wares wouldtheoretically be exported to Chinas growing con-sumer class. Like most Americans, the people ofBassett might never fully understand the intricaciesof why things didn't work out that way. There wasChinas movement to artificially lower its currencyto give its exports an advantage over competitors,the underpriced dumping of Chinese goods, andChinese government subsidiesall of which al-lowed Asian-owned companies to sell products ata lower price than their American rivals and ex-

panded the U.S. trade deficit with China.

Maxine Brown and her family had movedfrom West Virginia to Bassett in 1967. Backthen, she said, work was so plentiful that if youleft your house to apply for a position in themorning you might as well take your lunch bagwith youcause you were gonna get a job.

Now, her children and grandchildren leave thecounty for work. Four have served inAfghanistan and Iraq. Two live in the region butdrive to North Carolina for work.

About the only thing Maxine and her husbandhave left of Bassett is a piece of furniture: a chestof drawers that Maxine helped fashion in Supe-riors rough end, the factory department in whichlumber is measured and cut. Its a keepsake to me,and I can look back on that and say, I helped emmake it, she said.

On one of my last reporting trips to Bassett, Istumbled upon a backhoe operator who was bury-ing the detritus of Bassett Superior Lines in aravine so a landowner (and distant Bassett relative)could use it to extend his lawn. If youd told peo-

ple in Bassett ten years ago that Id be up heretoday burying this plant, theyd have said you werea complete fool, Harry Ferguson told me.

In a corner of the lot stood a neat stack of brickshed pulled from the pile. He picked one out and, with adegree of ceremony, chinked off the mortar before pass-ing it to me carefully, the way one might hand over asleeping baby or a rising loaf of bread.

Beth Macy is a journalist based in Roanoke, Virginia.Her book, Factory Man: How One Furniture MakerBattled Offshoring, Stayed Localand Helped Save anAmerican Town, was the winner of the 2013 J. AnthonyLukas Work-in-Progress Award and will be publishedJuly 15th by Little, Brown and Company.

oeing [NYSE: BA] plans to design areusable launch vehicle for the DefenseAdvanced Research Projects Agency

(DARPA) in support of the U.S. governments ef-forts to reduce satellite launch costs. DARPAsXS-1 Experimental Spaceplane is conceived as areusable, unmanned booster with costs, operationand reliability similar to modern aircraft.

Developing a vehicle that launches small pay-loads more affordably is a priority for future U.S.Defense Department operations, said SteveJohnston, director of Boeings Phantom WorksAdvanced Space Exploration division. Boeingbrings a combination of proven experience in de-veloping launch systems and reusable space ve-hicles, along with unparalleled expertise in thedevelopment and fielding of highly operable andcost-effective transportation systems.

Under the $4 million preliminary design con-tract, Boeing plans to work on a reusable first stagelaunch vehicle capable of carrying and deployingan upper stage to launch small satellite payloadsof 3,000 to 5,000 pounds (1,361 kg to 2,268 kg)into low-Earth orbit.

Our design would allow the autonomousbooster to carry the second stage and payload tohigh altitude and deploy them into space. Thebooster would then return to Earth, where it couldbe quickly prepared for the next flight by applyingoperation and maintenance principles similar tomodern aircraft. said Will Hampton, Boeing XS-1 program manager. Drawing on our other inno-vative technologies, Boeing intends to provide a

concept that uses efficient, streamlined ground in-frastructure and improves the turnaround time to

relaunch this spacecraft for subsequent missions.DARPA plans to hold a Phase II competition next

year for the follow-on production order to build the

vehicle and conduct demonstration flights.A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing De-

fense, Space & Security is one of the world's

largest defense, space and security businessesspecializing in innovative and capabilities-dri-

ven customer solutions, and the worlds largestand most versatile manufacturer of military air-craft. Headquartered in St. Louis, Boeing De-

fense, Space & Security is a $33 billionbus iness with 56,000 employees worldwide.Follow us on Twitter: @BoeingDefense.

Whos Minding theGroundwater Basins?

According to the State of California Department of WaterResources, there are 431 defined groundwater basins.These underground bowls, containing aquifers made up

of rock, gravel and sand that act like sponges to hold water, typ-ically supply about 40 percent of the drinking water for

the state. California residents then rely on surface watergenerally found in lakes, streams, and rivers for the re-

maining supply. However, during drought years,state-wide reliance on groundwater supplies can ex-ceed 60 percent.

This year, Governor Brown has issued droughtemergency declarations, an emergency proclamationand he has directed the State Water Board to adoptan emergency regulation which is due to go into ef-

fect on or about August 1.The entire state is experiencing one of the worst droughts ever recorded in California.

There has been little rain or snow and our surface waters are decreasing. The groundwaterbasins, which arent infinite and can be depleted, are relied on more and more as thesource of our water. But whos minding the basins?

Many groundwaterbasins are not managed,which is a terrifying reality.We hear stories about over-drafting, or pumpingaquifers in excess that hascaused lands to sink andcollapse. In other areas,wells have run dry. Over-drafting can compromisethe quality of water as itcan allow sea water orchemicals to seep intodrinking water.

Protecting groundwatersupplies has climbed to thetop of the states wateragenda. Bills have alreadycome forward to addressthe issue.

Assemblyman Roger Dickinson (D- Sacramento) introduced AB 1739 to improve local

and regional groundwater management efforts, thus ensuring a sustainable supply ofgroundwater. The bill passed and calls for basins to be managed under a groundwater

sustainability plan or coordinated groundwatersustainability plans.

Senator Fran Pavley (D-Agoura Hills) introduceda series of bills aimed at modernizing Californiaswater system. One bill, SB 1168, calls for local and re-gional oversight. It also authorizes the State Water ResourcesBoard, under certain circumstances, to manage some groundwater basins.

Last year, the California State Water Resources Control Board established sustainablethresholds of groundwater use, and in January, Governor Brown proposed his new WaterAction Plan that features groundwater management as a top priority. His GroundwaterManagement Proposal seeks to empower local agencies with the job of managing ground-water with a caveat that the state can step in if the agency fails to come through. It alsogives the tools, guidance and technical assistance to local agencies. We could see adoptedgroundwater legislation from the governors office as early as this summer.

The governors suggestion of local groundwater management is echoed by the Asso-ciation of California Water Agencies (ACWA), the California Water Foundation (CWF),and the Legislative Analysts Office (LAO), among others. To manage effectively, localagencies will need criteria, tools, technical guidance, and money. But where do we start?

Weve got an expert in our own backyard. Youll be happy to know that the OrangeCounty Water District (OCWD, the District), of which I am a Board member, is an inter-national leader in groundwater management.

The District has been called to Sacramento this spring and summer to testify beforevarious committees to describe how a groundwater basin can be successfully managed.

Facing the challenge of increasing demands for water over the years has fostered a his-tory of innovation and creativity that has enabled OCWD to increase available ground-water supplies while protecting the long-term sustainability of the basin. Hundreds ofengineers, scientists and water leaders from all over the globe visit OCWD each year tolearn from its expertise.

The District produces a Groundwater Management Plan yearly and has adopted prin-ciples to guide its advocacy relating to water infrastructure funding. The District has alsoinvested hundreds of millions of dollars to provide infrastructure that helps to providethe region with a dependable and reliable water supply. Continued smart investment andlong-term planning is required as challenges of managing the local water supply increaseeach year.

If the State of California uses the Orange County Water District as a model for ground-water management, which was noted in the State LAO report, well be far ahead in ourgoals of effective regulation to ensure sustainability.

Cathy Green was elected to OCWD in November 2010. She served two termson the Huntington Beach City Council and was Mayor twice. Huntington Beach

has been home to the Green Family over 41 years

Dear EarthTalk:With summer offi-

cially here now, whatcan you tell us about

which sunscreens are safe andwhich are not? ~ Clara Rosen, New York, NY

Skin cancer is by far the most common form of cancerin the United States, with more new cases each year thanbreast, prostate,lung and coloncancers com-bined. And therate of newlydiagnosed casesof the mostdeadly skin can-cer, melanoma,has tripled overthe last threedecades. Butmany of the

sunscreens onthe market donot provideenough protec-tion from thesuns damagingrays. Also,some of themcontain chemi-cals that canalso causehealth problemsin their ownright.

According to the non-profit Environmental WorkingGroup (EWG), which assessed the safety and effectivenessof more than 1,400 SPF (sun protection factor) productsfor its 2014 Guide to Sunscreens, only one in three sun-

screens for sale on the shelves of American stores offergood skin protection and are free of ingredients with links

to health issues. That means two-thirds of the sunscreensin our analysis dont work well enough or contain ingredi-ents that may be toxic, reports the group.

A big part of the problem is the lack of tougher rules

from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). TheFDAs first major set of sunscreen regulations, 36 years inthe making, took effect in December 2012 and proved fartoo weak to transform the market, reports EWG. Whilethe new rules did restrict some of the most egregious

claims on sunscreen la-bels (such as thepatently false water-proof and sweatproofclaims) and ended thesale of powder sun-screens and towelettesthat were too thin toprovide protectionagainst ultraviolet rays,they didnt address in-halation threats fromspray sunscreens or take

into account the risks ofexposure to so-callednanoparticles fromzinc oxide and titaniumdioxide varieties.

While the FDA is cur-rently reassessing itsstance on sunscreens,EWG warns it may be awhile before new rulesaddress these and otherconcerns, especiallygiven push-back from

regulatory-averse members of Congress and some manu-facturers. So whats a health-conscious sun worshipper todo about sunscreen?

For starters, read labels. Some common sunscreen ingre-dients to watch out for and avoid include: oxybenzone,

which can cause allergic reactions and hormone-like ef-fects; Vitamin A (AKA retinyl palmitate), a skin irritant and

possible carcinogen; and fragrances which can contain al-lergens and chemicals. Also, spray sunscreens are suspectbecause inhaling some of the ingredients can irritatebreathing passages and even potentially compromise lung

function. And EWG warns to avoid products with SPF rat-ings higher than 50, as their use can tempt people to applytoo little and/or stay in the sun too long. Sticking with prod-ucts in the 15-50 SPF range and reapplying often makesmuch more sense.

Some of the best choices are those sunscreens that em-ploy either zinc oxide or avobenzone, both which havebeen shown to block the most damaging ultraviolet rayseffectively without the need for other potentially trouble-some additives. Some of the leading brands that meetEWGs criteria for both safety and effectiveness includeAbsolutely Natural, Aubrey Organics, California Baby, El-emental Herbs, Goddess Garden, Tropical Sands and TrueNatural, among others. Find these and other winners on theshelves of natural foods retailers as well as online. For acomplete list of all 172 recommended sunscreens and tolearn more about the risks, check out EWGs free online2014 Guide to Sunscreens.

Car Buying For Teenagers...The ChallengeP

ete Bigelow of aol so succinctly paints apicture for those thinking about buying acar for our teenager..."Teen drivers are

the most vulnerable motorists on the road. Theytake unnecessary risks. They're inexperienced.They're more likely to sit behind the wheel ofused cars that don't contain the latest safetytechnology.

It's no wonder that traffic accidents are theleading cause of death for teenagers.

It doesn't have to be that way. The InsuranceInstitute for Highway Safety has developed a

checklist for parents and teens shopping for anew car. These items help protect teen drivers,who are more likely to be involved in a crashthan any other road users.

In addition to compiling a list of 56 specificmakes and models recommended for teens,IIHS, a non-profit organization dedicated to re-

ducing death and injury on the nation's roads,recommends the following features and guide-lines to parents and teens who are car shopping:

Electronic Stability Control The organiza-tion says this feature is "a must" that will help

drivers maintain control on curves and slipperyroads. IIHS says it reduces risk on a level com-parable to seat belts.

Bigger is better On a first-of-its-kind list ofcars the organization recommends for teens,there are no minicars or small cars. Whilesafety technology can differ, simple physicssuggests that bigger cars will offer better pro-tection in a crash.

Avoid high horsepower Vehicles with morepowerful engines present a more powerful risk.IIHS recommends several vehicles for teens,

and says there's adequate power in their basemodels for safe driving.

Spend a little more Eighty-three percent ofparents said they bought used cars for theirchild, according to a recent IIHS survey, andthe median cost was $5,300.

There are many cars on IIHS' recommended

list that cost less than $10,000, but only threethat fall under that median price. Anne McCartt,senior vice president for research at IIHS, saysparents should consider paying a lit tle bit more."Unfortunately, it's very difficult to get a safe

vehicle for a teenager at the prices most peopleare paying," she said.
