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

Unpaid Babysitters

The F WordQuite frankly,the "F" word can be the ONLY word in the English language that

accurately describes some situationsThewordis'FEAR'ofcourse!Whatintheworldwereyouthinking?

A Few More Im Convinced

I'm Convinced that the Brit's are fed up with the World Order trying to run their sovereigncounty, and that just maybe we are not far behind.I'm convinced that our "local" homeless situation is not unique Beach Communities and thatmany of our 250+ population consider the fact that in their world...they are not homeless.I'm convinced that first Stanton, now Westminster, perhaps Fountain Valley will have to dealwith their revenue shortfalls with more substance than a sales tax increase...but if they haveto take that route...the new funds will be restricted on what bills they pay for.

I

am convinced that is I loose 35 pounds I will live longer...but thenagain...longer is relative.

Iam convinces that if we restrict automatic weaponsales that the bad guy will still get hem and ifnot just revert to pipe bombs, chemical warfareand other forms of mass murder.

Iam convinced that the City ofHB...our own community willhave to face financial reality atsome point in the next fewyears...since we are a largercommunity we have more op-portunities to regulate how wespend what we have.

Iam convinced tat our Police Offi-

cers read papers, watch TV, etc. Being a public safety first responder is tough...the bad guysue, the bad guys get media and legal help...the police office gets suspended...then usually vin-dicated...very complicated.

Iam convinced there is a changing demographic occurring Downtown, on Main Street as tothe customers... don't know why nut does not seem good.Iam convinced I worry too much...have strong opinion and my seniors status in life shows...butthen again I own the newspaper.

The most famousartist for this typeof saucy postcards wasDonald McGill.

He was nearly 80years old when he wasput on trial (1954)under the ObscenePublications Act,found guilty and fined.

Today the postcardsare worth a fortune.

For months, Ive watched with curios-ity, the careful construction of Califor-nias newest coastal luxury

resort--Pasea Hotel & Spasouth of the fa-mous HB Pier, off Pacific Coast Highwayand Huntington Street. It just opened and Idecided to drop in unannounced and checkit out. Greeting guests was friendlyConcierge Justin Ratowsky, who said hedbe glad to give me a tour.

What I saw was the biggest new wowin California destinations. From its artisticlobby wall design featuring 1,400 actual flipflops, its complimentary guest bikes andpedicab rides to the beach and HB Pier, itsindoor/outdoor Blue Room with fire pits

overlooking the ocean, its hallway compos-ite mural of actual local beach trash, includ-ing beach toys, shovels, pails, to its elevatedTreehouse open air bar with breathtakingviews of the Pacific to its Tanner Restaurant(featuring delights like roasted salmon, mus-sels and grilled kale chicken Caesar salad)

to its hardwood floors, light and airy moderncoastal chic, to its unique, exterior, vertical,multi-story ocean video imagery (that can beseen on the Pier), to its Balinese-inspiredAARNA Spa, complete with an anti-stressrelaxation garden, to the cheerful and knowl-edgeable staff, who go to great lengths tomake each stay memorable.

But what do the guests think? Its thecoolest hotel Ive ever been in, said 10-year-old Amada Blake from Concord, Cali-fornia. The services they offer areincredible. We took a pedicab to the beach,complete with a packed lunch and got surf-ing lessons. I learned that Pasea means totake a stroll in Spanish and weve beenstrolling in all directions since we got here.

I ran into Chapman University-film

grad, Michael Bolen, who has worked onmany top movie and TV shows, and was aguest at Pasea. The local resident, who alsois a Broker Associate at Huntington BeachRealty, gave us the inside scoop on the lux-urious hotel: I stayed on the fifth floor andhighly- recommend the west-facing roomsfor the most spectacular Sunset views. Thisis a great place, not only for visitors to SurfCity USA but for us locals. The Treehouseopen air bar/lounge offers one of the mostspectacular views of the coastline and hasbecome the new HB hotspot for familiesand friends.

Even balconies in the 250-room Pasea fitperfectly into the ocean theme and are wave-

shaped. You can see theuniqueness created by the

Pacific Hospitality Groupand RD Olson Develop-ment in the newest partof the Meritage Collec-tion. Guests even receivea complimentary bottleof Trinitas Wine from aNapa Valley wineryowned by Tim Busch,who also is CEO of thePacific Hospitality

Group.Head Chef Igor Krichmar, formerly of

WynnLas Vegas and other top culinaryplaces, loves working in front of guests wholook at the kitchen (through floor-to-ceilingglass), which features a wood-fired infernocenterpiece. Its such a delight to build a

menu here, said Krichmar, who also cookedat the Temecula Creek Inn. Ive neverworked in a more beautiful surrounding withsuch wonderful people. I love the challengeof exceeding customer expectations.

General Manager Scott Blakeslee saidhes having more fun working in Surf Citythan anywhere else. The hotel staff and thecommunity are the best! We also have morethan 34,600 square feet of event space and a14,600-square-foot event lawn, perfect forweddings, family and company get-togeth-ers. I invite all of you to check us out. Its anexperience you will never forget.

The Pasea Hotel & Spa is located at21080 Pacific Coast Highway, HuntingtonBeach, California; 714-698-6100;www.PaseaHotel.com.

In Honor of FatherI

n honor of Father's Day, Leaha Mattin-

son, author of Silver Linings wants toshare what makes her dad her cham-pion in hopes of inspiring other sons anddaughters everywhere to thank their dadsand become strong, character-driven adults(and parents) themselves. Read on for a listof qualities that Mattinson says is the stuffof great fathersbased on her own father'sexample.

Great dads are not afraid to hug and kiss.Great fathers are not afraid to show affectionto their family members. According to Mat-tinson, children (even adult children) stillneed to feel love from both parents, and thatlove should be expressed in a physical way.

"Dad still hugs us when we arrive," saysMattinson. "He meets me and the kids atthe doorusually with my wonderful

momand we all get a big hug to let usknow we're loved. We get shaken a bit fromthe hug, due to Dad's HD chorea (involun-tary movement), but it's great that he showsus he loves us."

They live their lives with honesty and in-tegrity. In order to be able to count on theirparents, there must be a solid foundation oftrust, Mattinson insists. Many children todaylive with frequent disappointment due totheir parents' inconsistent words and behav-iors. Honesty is an integral component tocreating a secure environment for children togrow up in.

"He is truthfuland he has been through-out his entire life," says Mattinson. "I couldalways take my dad's words and behavior tothe proverbial bank."

They are self-starters. "Apathy and a lackof insight are often the first symptoms ofHD, but my father motivates himself to getdaily exercise, contributes to householdchores, and manages the yard work," saysMattinson. "He's tenacious and has alwaysinspired me to keep going when times gettough."

They respect and revere the natural world."He and Mom taught me to have reverencefor living things, like baby ducks and bun-nies," says Mattinson. "There was even afawn Dad once found in the field andbrought to us to look at, to touch, to marvelat its amazingness. He is a gentle man."

Great dads don't hide from life. Hard timesare going to happen, but a good father keepsgoing when things get tough. Mattinson ex-

plains that her father's illness hasn't stoppedhim from going out into the community andcarrying on with his life in spite of the HDchorea, which causes him to shake uncon-trollably. Despite all this, he has a twinkle inhis eye and carries on being an active mem-ber of the community.

"He has accepted his physical body,shakes and all, and is still engaging andfunny with other people when he meetsthem," she says. "He plays crib every weekand has a ton of friends. They can't hear eachother as well as they once used to, but thatsure doesn't stop them from getting togetherboth for visiting and support through ill-nesses and life's other challenges after 75."

They admit their wrongs. "Apologizingwhen you are wrong is so, so important,"

says Mattinson. "My dad does. Children

need to learn that adults are human and that

they make mistakes. Saying you're sorry infront of your children and to your childrenteaches them how to behave. It shows thatbeing wrong is not the worst thing in theworld and that humility is a valuable trait topossess."

They are great husbands or partners. Goodfathers support not only their children, buttheir wives or partners as well. A partnershipbased on mutual respect, trust, and love is aformula for happinessand helps ensurethat those values carry over to the next gen-eration. Fathers should remember that theirchildren are always watching and imitating.So a father who is loving to his wife or part-ner teaches children to treat others with re-spect and love.

"My dad always treats my mom with love

and affection," says Mattinson. "He loves mymom to the moon and back and has for 50years. When he talks about her, he gets tearybecause he just thinks she is the most amaz-ing woman in the world."

They show up for their loved ones. Justbeing there is the most important thing a fa-ther can do. Kids don't want or need a perfectdadthey just need a dad who is there toguide and support them.

"Dad loves all his grandkids and caresdeeply about everyone's happiness," shesays. "He always shows up for their hockeygames and dance recitals or teaches themabout woodworking and how to care forplants and animals. They will always knowthat their grandfather loves them."

As Father's Day passes, Mattinson hopes

that all dads and those who have dads (every-one, really) will contemplate the uncondi-tional love that all fathers feel for theirchildren. Fatherhood is a precious gift, andhaving a great father is a real blessing.

"Perhaps the greatest lesson my dad hastaught me is this: Enjoy life to the fullest,"she says. "Enjoy this moment. Enjoy thesimple things like growing plants and exper-imenting with new recipes. Hang out andhave coffee with your friends; just turn upthe hearing aids. Help each other out whenyou can.

"If it snows, Dad is still over helping toshovel at his friends' and neighbors' homes,"adds Mattinson. "He sees what needs othershave and figures out how to be of help tothem. He is considerate, thoughtful, and has

a huge heart, along with huge hands! As TimMcGraw's hit song describes, he is 'humbleand kind.' I cannot think of a better examplefor how to live my life."

EDITORIAL

"Want to make your introductions more im-pactful? Stop skipping this one crucial el-ement.

Introductions can be inherently high-pressureand awkward, can't they? No matter how outgoing

and vivacious you consider yourself to be, it canbe tough to condense who you are and what youdo into a few crisp, concise, and impactful sen-tences.

So, when it comes to shaking hands and intro-ducing yourself to someone new, you likely defaultto something simple and standard like, "I'm Joe,and I'm the Sales Manager at Company XYZ."

At first glance, it seems effective. It's short,sweet, and it serves the intended purpose--sharingyour name and your job title.

But, look closer and you'll notice that it's miss-ing something important. While it may seem com-plete and polished, it's really lacking one crucialelement that helps to take your introductions to the next level.

What's that? Quite simply, the value that you bring to thetable.

WHY IS SHARING VALUE IMPORTANT?Sure, spitting out your job title is a key part of an introduc-tion, but it's really only a slice (and, often a somewhat am-biguous slice) of the whole pie. So, you want to make sureyou emphasize not only what you do, but why you do it.

This is important for everyone, but particularly for thoseof us with job titles or occupations that don't immediatelyprovide an adequate picture of what we do day in and dayout. For example, when I used to introduce myself as onlya "writer", most people would respond with somethingalong the lines of, "Oh, so you're writing a book?"

I can understand their assumption. But, this is actuallypretty far from the truth--I've never written a book, and Idon't plan to in the near future.

So, instead of sticking with the tried and true introduc-tion of, "I'm Kat, and I'm a writer," I've expanded thingsjust a touch to say something like, "I'm Kat, and I'm awriter who helps businesses and brands engage their audi-

ences through thoughtful blog posts and articles."See the difference? Instead of just firing off a job title,I'm giving my conversational partner a more specific lookat not only what I do, but also why it's important.

How can you improve your own introduction?When you're so used

to getting through yourintroduction as fast ashumanly possible, I'lladmit that this tactic canfeel a little unnatural(and possibly even a lit-tle arrogant) at first--soadequate preparation isimportant for makingsure that your introduc-tion sounds exactly asyou want it to.

Follow these threequick tips to come upwith your own introduc-tion that's polished, im-pactful, andrepresentative of all ofthe great work you do.

1.DETERMINE

WHAT YOU BRING

TO THE TABLE

First things first, youneed to narrow yourfocus and determine themost important thing thatyou want to share withthe people you meet. Apowerful introduction

doesn't require a step-by-step breakdown of yourentire career trajectory--it's important that youzone in on the key nutsand bolts.

Sit down with anotepad and jot down thekey functions of your po-sition. Getting everythingout of your brain anddown on paper will helpyou clearly see the thingsthat should be empha-sized.

2. SCRIPT YOUR

INTRODUCTION

With notepad in hand,

now it's time to start scripting a few different introductionsyou can test drive. Yes, you should actually write out thewhole introduction. It'll make the following step that mucheasier.

Also, remember that brevity is important here. Nobodywants to listen to a long-winded tale of all of your skillsand competencies--try to keep your introduction to two orthree sentences at most.

3. READ IT ALOUD

Now that you have a few different alternative introduc-tions scribbled down, it's time to pick the best one. In orderto do this, you'll want to read your options aloud.

This is a necessary step to ensure that your introductionsounds natural and genuine, and not forced and robotic. Wedon't always write the way we speak, so it's important thatyou actually say those words to catch any spots where youget tripped up.

Finally, it's time to practice. Commit your introductionto memory, so that you can fire it off (with a smile and di-rect eye contact, no less!) at the drop of a hat. You'll be leftwith a short--but incredibly powerful--introduction that's

sure to leave a positive impression on everyone you meet.

The Least Stressed Citys In America

To find our list of the least-stressed cities in America welooked at a combination of positive and negative fac-tors. The positive factors we examined were a high rate

of physical activity, a high number of entertainment estab-lishments per 1,000 businesses and a high average number ofhours of sleep per night.

For the negative factors we examined, a lower numberhelped a city climb the ranks. These negative factors werehours of work per week, length of commute to work in min-utes, the unemployment rate, the bankruptcy rate, the ratio ofhousing costs to median income and the divorce rate.

For each of the 500 cities that had a population of 67,500or higher and had data in all nine factors we assigned a rankin each factor. We then calculated each city's average rankbased on all nine factors. We scored each city from 0 to 100based on that average rank, and then re-ranked based on thescore to get our top 10 and top 25.

KEY FINDINGSWisconsin wins. The only state

to have two cities in our top tenwas Wisconsin. Both Madisonand Eau Claire cracked the topfive, in fact. The two Badger Statecities earned high marks for phys-ical activity and hours slept, andhad low negatives.

New Jersey and Florida arestressed. New Jersey and Floridaeach had multiple cities in thebottom ten the most-stressedcities in our study. Miami, MiamiGardens, Pompano Beach andHialeah all ranked in the bottomten from Florida, while New Jer-sey's Newark and Union Citymade the list.

Northern states fared well.What do Minnesota, Wisconsin,Michigan, Montana and NorthDakota have in common? Coldwinters and low stress levels.These northern states all crackedthe top ten in our study, and not asingle Southern state could saythe same (unless you count Mis-souri).

1. Boulder, COBoulder, Colorado climbed from #4 in last year's study to

#1 in this year's top ten list. While it didn't rank first in anysingle factor, Boulder's solid overall performance helped itbeat out the competition and top our list.

Why are Boulder residents so chilled out? The 34.7-hourwork-week and the 15-minute average commute to work can'thurt. The city also boasts a bankruptcy rate of just 0.14%, adivorce rate of just 7.9% and average sleep per night of 7.12hours.

2. Iowa City, IAIowa City was last year's #1 least-stressed city and was

barely edged out by Boulder this year. Of the 500 cities in ourstudy, Iowa City boasts the 15th-shortest work-week and the13th-lowest bankruptcy rate. In fact, Iowa City's work-week,average commute, unemployment, bankruptcy and divorcerates are all lower than in Boulder.

However, Boulder just beat out Iowa City on physical ac-tivity rate, entertainment per 1,000 businesses, housing as apercentage of income and sleep per night. We'll be keepingan eye on how the two cities perform in next year's SmartAs-set study.

3. Duluth, MNDuluth has the 12th-shortest work-week of the 500 cities

in our study, and tied for the fourth-highest average hours ofsleep per night. With their 34.4-hour work-week and overseven hours of sleep, Duluth residents are apparently restedand have plenty of time to exercise and hit up the city's en-tertainment establishments. Also in Duluth? One of the onlyfreshwater aquariums in the county.

4. Madison, WIThe first Wisconsin city on our list is Madison, a prosper-

ous college town where residents get over seven hours ofsleep per night and the unemployment rate is under 6%.Madison is a frequent flier on SmartAsset's top ten lists, in-cluding the Best Cities for an Affordable Wedding, the Best

Cities for New College Grads and the Least Severely HousingCost-Burdened Cities.

5. Eau Claire, WIIn addition to being one of the Best Cities for Singles (Who

Like Being Single) Eau Claire boasts an average commutetime under 15 minutes and an average work-week of 35.4hours. That gives city residents plenty of time to kick back.Like Madison, Eau Claire is a college town. The Universityof Wisconsin Eau Claire is one of the city's top employers.

6. Flagstaff, AZFlagstaff, Arizona is another college town that has a lot

going for it. Flagstaff residents have the fourth-shortest com-mutes of any of the 500 cities in our study, at just 13.6 min-utes. The economy hums along on a mix of tourism,education, government, scientific, high-tech and manufactur-ing jobs. Flagstaff also boasts sunny winters.

7. Columbia, MOColumbia, Missouri has the ninth-shortest work-week of

any of the 500 cities in our study. Plus, Columbia commutescome in under 15 minutes, meaning residents have plenty oftime for other pursuits. Columbia also made our list of the

Best Cities for Working Parents. University of Missouri andColumbia College both call the city home.

8. Ann Arbor, MIAnn Arbor is yet another college town on our list. The Uni-

versity of Michigan looms large in Ann Arbor and is the city'sbiggest employer. Ann Arbor residents enjoy a work-week ofjust under 35 hours and get just under seven hours of sleepper night. It's also one of the Best Green Cities for Families.

9. Missoula, MTMissoula, Montana is home to the University of Montana

and is Montana's second-largest city. It had the highest phys-ical activity rate on our top ten list, with 65.3% of residentsgetting the recommended amount of weekly exercise. Nowonder it ranked first in our 2016 study of the Most Fitness-

Friendly Cities.

10. Fargo, NDFargo, North Dakota rounds

out our list at number ten. It hasthe third-lowest unemploymentrate of any of the 500 cities inour study, at just 4.2%. It alsohas the lowest ratio of housingcosts to income in our top tenlist. North Dakota State Univer-sity is located in Fargo. Between2010 and 2014 Fargo's popula-tion grew by 9.8%, almost triplethe national growth rate of3.3%.

STUDY SPECIFICSTo find the least-stressed

cities in America, SmartAssetpulled data for nine factors.Data on each city's divorce rate,unemployment rate, civilianlabor force, housing costs andincome came from the U.S.Census Bureau's 2014 5-YearAmerican Community Survey(ACS).

Data on aggregate time towork and work-week hourscame from the 2014 1-Year

ACS. Data on physical activity rates came from the Institutefor Health Metrics and Evaluation at healthdata.org and dataon bankruptcy rates came from USCourts.gov. Finally, thedata for the number of entertainment establishments per 1,000businesses came from the Census Bureau's County BusinessPatterns survey.

For two of the factors on our list we combined data sources.To calculate the average commute we divided the aggregatetime to work by the number of workers in the civilian laborforce. To calculate the ratio of housing costs to income wemultiplied each city's median monthly housing costs by 12(for the 12 months in a year) and divided the result by thecity's median household income in the last 12 months.

Then, for each city that had a population of 67,500 or moreand data in each of the nine factors (divorce rate, bankruptcyrate, unemployment rate, housing costs/income, entertain-ment establishments/1,000 businesses, physical activity rate,hours worked, sleep hours and commute time) we calculatedthe city's rank on each factor.

We then averaged those rankings to get an average rank foreach city, giving equal weight to all factors. The city with thebest average ranking scored a 100 and the city with the worstaverage got a zero, with the scores for the rest of the 500 citiesdistributed evenly between 0 and 100.

Just as the MLB season has heated up, sotoo have the Beanball Wars.The most recent dust up occurred when

Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura plunkedOrioles third baseman Manny Machado in the back during a game on June 7.Machados offense was barking at Ventura after the pitcher had thrown insideto him earlier in the game. Machado dropped his bat and chargedthe mound, precipitating a benches-clearingbrawl. Ventura and Machado were ejected andlater suspended by MLB, Ventura for ninegames and Machado for four.

Toronto has been involved in two beanball in-cidents this year. On May 15 Texas retaliatedagainst Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista for his

infamous bat flip during last years playoffs. Insome circles, that on-field show of emotion vio-lated one of the Unwritten Rules of Baseball.Rangers reliever Matt Bush plunked Bautista inthe ribs with the first pitch of the eighth inning.But Bush was neither ejected nor suspended de-spite the fact everyone on the planet knew the pitchwas intentional.

On May 22 Twins pitcher Phil Hughes threw twopitches that almost hit Torontos Josh Donaldson.The Blue Jays third baseman had hit a monstroushome run against Hughes earlier in the game. Don-aldson implored MLB to do a better job of policing retaliation efforts, claimingthey can jeopardize a players career.

Pittsburgh reliever Arquimedes Caminero hit two Arizona players in the

head in the same inning on May 24, knocking both from the game. He wasejected after the second beaning but wasnt suspended.

Some veteran baseball observers merely shrug and say what were seeingtoday harkens back to the old days. But for the past two years, batters havebeen hit at double the rate that occurred in the 1980s. Why the increase inbeanballs? Theres no single answer. Every situation seems to be different.Sometimes its a player with emotional issues (see: Ventura). Other times its

retribution for a perceived wrong (see: Bautista andDonaldson).

The bigger question is what, if anything, shouldMLB do about the Beanball Wars? Or is this an issuewhere players should be left to police themselves?Teams believe in frontier justice, an eye for an eye,which is a cycle that never ends.

On the other hand, if MLB wanted to send a mes-sage that this type of activity is verboten, they didnt

do a very good job of it with the Ventura/Machadosuspensions. Venturas suspension for nine gamesmeans he misses one turn in the rotation. Machado,on the other hand, is out of the lineup for fourgames. That seems patently unfair to the Orioles.

Pitching inside is a widely used tactic thats legal;intentionally throwing at someone is assault whichisnt allowed on the streets. Why should it be tol-erated on the baseball diamond?

chief, Dilbert Bud Higgins had a trick that no one has sinceimitated. He would don a firesuit, cover his face with petroleumjelly, soak himself with alcohol, light a match and dive in a fieryball from a 50-foot platform high above the pier into the waterbelow.

Among the famous who have presided over the parade in yearspast are Hollywood movie stars Jayne Mansfield, Natalie Wood,Zsa Zsa Gabor, Dorothy Lamour, Mickey Rooney (and MickeyMouse!) and a true American hero, astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Thebest legend goes that during his presidency, Franklin DelanoRoosevelts entourage was on its way through town, headed forSan Diego, as the parade was going on. Quick-thinking paradeorganizers persuaded them take a slow pass along the paraderoute, to the delight of those gathered to watch.

The Parade marked its centennial in 2004 by bringing the fire-works back to the beach (from its former location at HuntingtonBeach High School), which drew 150,000 onlookers. This yearsfireworks 23-minute spectacular, with a total of 1,300 rounds offireworks 500 of them during the finale in the last 40 secondsof the show is expected to attract twice that many.

Ona Marie Judge Staines (c. 1773-1848) was the enslaved body servantof Martha Washington in what was then the United States capitol, Philadel-phia. In 1796, Judge fled to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. There, she met andmarried a mariner, Jack Staines; they made their home in the adjacent ruraltown of Greenland with their three daughters. Jack was presumed to have diedat sea when he did not return from a voyage. Each of the Staines children

also predeceased Ona. She continued to live in the town with the freed familyof a man formerly owned by a prominent New Hampshire merchant. BecausePresident Washington had endorsed the Fugitive Slave Act of 1791, Ona Judgeremained a fugitive for the rest of her life. The house itself no longer standsbut her unmarked gravesite remains undisturbed on the property where shehad chosen to live.

It was well recognized that Martha Rayeendured less comfort more than any otherVietnam entertainer.

I did not know this, I bet you didn't either.Don't let the sun go down without readingthis about Martha Raye.

The most unforgivable oversight of TV isthat her shows were not taped.

I was unaware of her credentials or whereshe is buried.

Somehow I just can't see Brittany Spears,Paris Hilton, or Jessica Simpson doing whatthis woman and the other USO women, in-cluding Ann Margaret & Joey Heatherton didfor our troops in past wars.

Most of the old time entertainers weremade of a lot sterner stuff than today's cropof activist bland whiners.

The following is from an Army Aviatorwho takes a trip down memory lane:

"It was just before Thanksgiving '67 and

we were ferrying dead and wounded from alarge GRF west of Pleiku.

We had run out of body bags by noon, sothe Hook (CH-47 CHINOOK) was prettyrough in the back.

All of a sudden, we heard a 'take-charge'woman's voice in the rear.

There was the singer and actress, MarthaRaye, with a Special Forces beret and jungle fa-tigues, with subdued markings, helping thewounded into the Chinook, and carrying thedead aboard. Maggie' had been visiting herSpecial Forces (SF) 'heroes' out 'west'.

We took off, short of fuel, and headed to theUSAF hospital pad at Pleiku.

As we all started unloading our sad pax's, a

USAF Captain said to Martha.... "Ms Raye,with all these dead and wounded to process,there would not be time for your show!"

To all of our surprise, she pulled on her rightcollar and said "Captain, see this eagle? I am afull 'Bird' in the US Army Reserve, and on thisis a 'Caduceus' which means I am a Nurse, witha surgical specialty.... now, take me to your

wounded!"

He said, "Yes ma'am.... follow me."Several times at the Army Field Hos-

pital in Pleiku, she would 'cover ' a surgi-cal shift, giving a nurse a well-deservedbreak.

Martha is the only woman buried in the

SF (Special Forces) cemetery at FtBragg.

Hand Salute! A great lady.I did not know this about Martha

Raye.... thought you might like to read it

Dear EarthTalk:

Why is underwater

noise pollution such a

big deal and what are we

doing to prevent it? ~ Phil Ziegler, New York, NY

For us land-dwellers, underwater noise rarely reaches

our ears. However, marine organisms can be very sensitive

to undersea sounds, particularly unnatural noise. Human

activityfrom explosives to underwater construction to

ship traffic to oceanographic researchcreates intense

noise that threatens the health of ocean wildlife. Direct ef-

fects include hearing loss, habitat displacement, and even

brain hemorrhages. The noise impedes the senses that en-

able many marine species to coordinate their movementsand find food, and can also interfere with breeding cycles

and migration patterns. This cacophony of underwater

noise pollution puts additional stresses on marine ecosys-

tems already on the ropes due to overfishing, pollution and

myriad other human threats.

Of particular concern lately to environmentalists is un-derwater noise pollution from seismic testing, where re-

source extraction industries use air guns to map the

seafloor to look for potential oil and gas reservoirs. From

the waters surface, the gun generates a blast of sound that

penetrates the ocean floor then bounces back up to a re-

ceiver, relaying data about the layers of sediment, rocks,

and potential fuel deposits below, reports the Pew Chari-

table Trusts. There is concern that the intensity of seismic

sounds and their large

spatial coverage may

lead to injury, distur-

bance or displace-

ment of marine

animals or a masking

of their communica-

tion.

While the United

Nations (UN) Con-

vention on the Law of

the Sea forbids pollu-

tion that can damage

marine wildlife, a

lack of enforcement

abilities means cor-

porations and the mil-

itary can continue to

carry out many noisy

undersea operations.

The non-profit Ocean

Mammal Institute

would like the UN to

endorse a precautionary approach limiting all sources of

intense underwater anthropogenic sound and requiring in-dividual nations to follow suit accordingly.

The precautionary principle should be applied publicly

and transparently to noise generated for military, commer-

cial and scientific purposes, reports OMI. In many cases,

there are alternatives and realistic mitigation scenarios for

reducing and eliminating very loud human-generated noisefrom the marine environment, including employing im-

proved passive sonar devices, using reduced noise energy,

mechanical and operational designs that minimize noise,

alternative energy sources, etc.

Given the Convention on the Law of the Seas lack of

teeth on monitoring and enforcement on the issue, the

United States has started taking matters into its own hands

to address underwater noise pollution in its own territorial

waters and beyond. The Obama administration recently

called for more scientific research to fully understand the

ecological impact of underwater noise, and directed the

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

(NOAA) to step up efforts to track and monitor volume

levels below the surface. NOAA is also working on tools

that the public, corporations and military can use to assess

and help mitigate noise-making activities, and has initiated

a campaign to raise public awareness on the issue.

While ocean wildlife activists say much more needs to

be done to start solving this insidious problem, at least the

U.S. is taking steps in the right direction even if the rest of

the world continues to ignore the noisy threats lurking

below the depths.

187bn litres of beer is drunk around the worldevery year

Czech Republic and Austria are top beer-lovingcountries

UK guzzled 1,274 kilolitres of wine in 2013 butUS consumed 2,915

"Tourists heading to the Vatican who like a tipplewill be in good company.

The smallest country in the world comes out on topfor consuming the most amount of wine.

Nearly 74 litres of vino are guzzled per person inthe Vatican every year - about 98 bottles each - ac-cording to a new infographic.

Comparing the popularity of wine and beer aroundthe world in 2013, the Comparecamp.com graphic re-veals overall, drinkers prefer hops to grapes, with

187bn litres ofthe brew beingdrunk versuswine's 24bnlitres - or two

bottles of beerper one glass ofwine.

Andorra camesecond in the listof the biggestwine drinkers,followed byFrance, St Pierre& Miquelon andSlovenia - withthe US appear-ing in 56th place.

And while itmay seem as

though its the Brits wholove a pint, the study re-veals the Czech Republicis world's biggest beerconsumer, with 235 litresof beer drunk per person every year.

Austria, Germany, Estonia and Poland make up thetop five - with the US in 14th place.

The US came out on top as the world's number onewine market, followed by France, Italy, Germany andthe UK.

Barleywine comes out as the most drunk beer in theworld at 15 per cent, followed by stout (10 per cent),and India Pale Ale (seven per cent).

The best-selling wines in the world, based on theamount of cases sold, are Barefoot (17 million), Gallo(15 million) and Concha y Toro (13.8 million).

The research also revealed that the the most expen-sive wine sold - a bottle of Screaming Eagle Cabernet1992 - fetched nearly 32,000 ($50,000) at the NapaValley Wine Auction in 2000.

Expensive beer on the other hand won't break thebank at the relatively reasonable price of 1,128($1,815) for a bottle of The Antarctic Nail Ale.

The Global Peace Index 2016 was recently published by the think tankInstitute for Economics and Peace, revealing the safest and most dan-

gerous countries in the world.The 10th annual edition of the report, which was released on June 8, ranked

163 countries based on their levels of peace and presented the findings on acolour-coded interactive map.

Every nation was issued a peace score out of 5 (the lower the score, thehigher the level of peace), determined by analysis of 23 factors under threecategories: the level of safety and security in society, domestic and interna-tional conflict, and militarisation.

Iceland claims the coveted title of the world's safest country. With a scoreof 1.192, the European nation ranks highly for its lack of domestic and inter-national conflict as well as the calm state of its society.

Another Nordic country, Denmark, takes second place with a score of 1,246,while Austria is the third-safest place in the world, with a score of 1.278.

Of the 11 nations deemed to have a "very high" level of peace by the GPI,eight are in Europe, while Japan (named the 9th safest), Canada (8th), and

New Zealand (4th) also make an appearance. Though, neither the UK (in 47thplace) or US (103rd) make the cut.
