-- from the sIDelInes --Conspiracy Theorists

By Irving Leemon, Contributing ColumnistNow that the “Birthers”, or should I say conspiracy theorists, have forced President Barack Obama to produce his birth certificate, they are starting to question his educational background and whether or not Osama bin Laden has been killed.These people will never be satisfied. They, and the, to me, clowns (such as Palin and Trump) who the press and talking heads on radio and TV quote, are determined to try and find a conspiracy by the government under every stone and pebble on the beach. In addition, it appears to me that racially prejudiced people have joined them. Why else this consistent noise and attention to these ridiculous charges?Ever since President Obama has been elected there has been a hue and cry to find a way to disqualify him for the office. These people take a lot of time, money, attention, and effort away from the real needs of this country. It’s bad enough when they espouse their views, but when the talking heads and print media espouse the same things, we have a problem.Now some of them (in letters to the editor) are claiming that Bush laid the ground work for Obama’s success. I say to these people, believe it or not, the Navy SEALS were created during World War II.These people do not have a shred of evidence to prove their charges. And to go so far as to indirectly accuse a top university of allowing a substandard pupil to graduate at the top of his class is ludicrous. The university cannot afford to let that happen. They would lose their credibility and future standing in the education communityThis nonsense will not stop until the press stops giving those people media attention. The only attention they deserve is to be laughed at.Agree, Disagree? Email me: [email protected]

A FREE EVENTTheatre West has scheduled a FREE staged play reading of “SUNSET” on Sunday, May 15 at 7:00 p.m. This classic play, written by noted playwright and author Isaac Babel in 1927, tells the story of two young men who take action to foil plans of their father, who has clandestinely planned to sell off the family hauling business and spend the proceeds on his young pregnant mistress. Fists will fly, blood will flow, but crimes against the family will not go unpunished and things will be made right in the end.Isaac Babel (1891-1940), considered one of the most important European writers of his era, based the play on his popular Odessa Stories, set in the Moldavanka, the Jewish section of Odessa, Russia, where Babel was born. Many of Babel’s stories contained social critique. Stalin considered Babel an enemy of the State, and had him tortured and executed in 1940. Malachi Throne directs a cast that includes Don Moore, Seemah Wilder, Paul Gunning, Yancey Dunham, Bridget Hanley, Marvin Kaplan and Throne himself.

SUNSET is produced by Malachi Throne and associate producer is Nan Tepper. The Theatre West Sunday Reading Series is produced by Sandra Tucker. John Gallogly is the Theatre West executive director. The Theatre West is located at 3333 Cahuenga Boulevad. West in Los Angeles, CA 90068. Admission is free. Reservations are not necessary. Free parking in the lot across the street. For more information please call (323) 851-7977 or go to www.theatrewest.orgTHE AU PAIR MANThe public is invited to the opening of a new comedy at the Raven Playhouse, “THE AU PAIR MAN,” written by Hugh Leonard and directed by Joe Praml. “AU PAIR MAN,” one level a parable about the bitter enmity between Ireland and England, is a dark, sometimes foreboding comedy about an ambitious young Irishman living in London, who seeks the position of an au pair, a live-in employee of a mysterious attractive middle-aged woman of position and wealth. Eugene Hartigan and Mrs. Rogers, the two characters in the play, engage in an ominous dance of wit, will, and courtly manners, leaving us with

wall of the mausoleum where legends like Rudolph Valentino rest in peace.Cinespia’s founder and director John Wyatt says: “This all started from scratch, and was built on word of mouth. The idea was to present films, but take them out under the stars, into a festive atmosphere, as they were meant to be seen: projected big, with a large, enthusiastic crowd. People share food and drinks with their neighbors, get to know other Angelenos, and cuddle up under a blanket. When we first began renting the cemetery for screenings, the audience was made up of our film club and friends. Now it includes a city wide cross-section of Angelenos. It’s our passionate audience that makes Cinespia what it is.” Now, Cinespia’s 10th season features the best films shown in the last 10 years, including Alien (1979), Vertigo (1958), and Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982). 2011 also welcomes a few newcomers like ‘80s cult comedy Heathers (1988). But as any die-hard Cinespia fan knows, it’s not just about the films at the cemetery; it’s all about picnics, good company, and especially music. This year is no exception, as Cinespia continues to bring world-class DJs to spin before and after the films. To kick off its 10th year, Cinespia screens Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) on Saturday, May 14th. It

stars the late, great screen siren Elizabeth Taylor in one of her most memorable performances as Maggie “the Cat.” Richard Brooks’ screen adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Tennessee Williams was named one of the top-ten box office hits of 1958, and stars Paul Newman as

that wise old dictum, ‘Be careful what you wish for.’ Virginia Morris portrays Mrs. Rogers and Joe Corgan is Eugene Hartigan. Hugh Leonard (1927-2009) was considered the most prolific of modern Irish playwrights. He is best known in America for the play “Da.” “The Au Pair Man” had its world premiere in Dublin in 1968.AU PAIR MAN is presented by ACS/The Celtic Arts Center with The Raven Playhouse, which is located at 5233 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood, CA 91601.

UFO MUSEUMThe Annual Rosewell UFO Festival has scheduled the annual event from July 1-4 with lectures, vendors, music and even dancing. And, the International UFO Museum and Research will eagerly await visitors.

It was in July 1947 that something happened northwest of Roswell. Was it a weather balloon or a flying saucer. On July 8th the public information officer at the Roswell Army Air Field, lt. Walter Haut, issued a press release that basically stated that “We have in our possession a flying saucer.” However, the next day another press release was issued stating that it was a weather balloon.The event dubbed the Roswell Incident has since become a topic of public fascination. Was there a crash of a flying saucer, were bodies recovered and

was there a cover-up by the military? Walter Haut and Glenn Dennis, a fellow Roswellian participant, sought a venue for the information and incorporated as an educational organization in 1991 and the International UFO Museum and Research Center first opened its doors in 1992. Today, the museum offers exhibits that include information on Roswell, crop circles, sightings, Nevada’s Area 51, ancient astronauts and abductions.Since its opening, the museum has outgrown its two former locations and is now in its third home with addition of many new exhibits from around the world. Since it has now been discovered that there are about 120 exoplanets with composition similar to Earth and which can sustain life, is it unreasonable to say that what crashed in Rosewell was, indeed, a flying saucer?For more information about the museum and the Roswell Festival go to www.iufomrc.org or call (800) 822-3545.

TOP SECRETOne of the best tours I’ve ever taken has been to Los Alamos, New Mexico. Anyone visiting Santa Fe, Taos, or Albuquerque must include this in the itinerary.Soon after it was decided in Washington to develop the Atom Bomb, US Army personnel were looking

for a site to develop this awesome weapon -- a site where absolute secrecy could be maintained.In Los Alamos, there was only one road in and one road out of the area. Los Alamos was the location of the Los Alamos Ranch School, a school for youth from very rich families. The owner was made an offer he couldn’t refuse and very soon the US Army had engineers, scientists, support people and their families all working to develop the bomb. So secret was this facility that everyone’s address was a building in Santa Fe including checking accounts, marriage licenses or even birth certificates. After World War II ended the Army offered to the population an opportunity to buy home lots in the area, and so the town of Los Alamos was born.Today, it is a city that wears several hats. First, there is the history of the Manhattan Project. In the city there is the Bradbury Science Museum where you can learn about the work of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. You’ll see a 16-minute film, “Mission: Stockpile Stewardship,” in the theater and explore the history of the Manhattan Project in the History Gallery. You’ll also find on display the bomb casings identical to Fat Man and Little Boy in the Defense Gallery,

along with exhibits on plutonium and the Nevada Test Site. Second, you can visit the Bandelier National Monument which is known for its ancient ruins, petroglyphs, and the thousands of ancestral

Pueblo dwellings (pictured above) inhabited from the 1100s to the 1500s. Take a guided walk to an ancient pueblo, see native artisans at work, take a walking tour of the Civilian Conservation Corps Historic District and enjoy the spectacular scenery.

Third, visit the Art Center at Fuller Lodge which was originally built in the 1920s for the school. Tour the nearby Los Alamos Historical Museum, which illuminates the Pajarito Plateau history, the Manhattan Project, the Los Alamos Ranch School, and other local history.A historical walking tour of downtown Los Alamos is available. For more information please contact the Los Alamos Meeting and Visitor Bureau at (800) 662-8105 or go to visit.losalamos.com.ATTENTION JOHN

WAYNE FANSFans of John Wayne might want to visit the small town of Genoa, Nevada. His final movie, The Shootist, was filmed here and the entire town became a setting for the movie. The town is so tiny that some structures had to be built for the movie.Genoa is just 25 minutes

east of Lake Tahoe and an hour south of Reno. It’s home to the Mormon

Station State Park Museum and the Genoa Courthouse Museum. In September you might want to join the community to celebrate the Candy Dance Arts and Crafts Faire, a tradition since 1919. For more information about Genoa call (800) NEVADA-8 or go to Genoa.TravelNevada.com.

Head to the Annual Rosewell UFO Festival to pick up all kinds of UFO paraphernalia, like the alien glasses pictured above.

The two struck a deal, and began construction of what would become the O’Donnell House — also known as “Ojo del Desierto,” or Eye of the Desert.O’Donnell constructed the 4,100 square-foot home, which includes four bedrooms and four baths, on 14.96 acres of land leased from the Desert Inn. The O’Donnell House remained the highest mountainside home in Palm Springs until the 1960s.O’Donnell and his wife wintered at the Ojo Del Desierto for 15 years, until his heart condition

precluded his use of the stairs. He then decided to build a smaller, one-story home on the nearby golf course, which later became the clubhouse for the O’Donnell Private Golf Club.After O’Donnell’s death at 75, the O’Donnell House became the winter residence of Nathan and Virginia Milnor. The Desert Museum acquired the home in 1978 shortly after Mrs. Milnor’s death, and turned it into a home for art workshops, demonstrations, exhibits and receptions.The home went back in private ownership in 1993 when it was purchased by the Willows’ cur-rent owners. It has since undergone a meticulous renovation back to its original glamour and refinement. The City of Palm Springs recognized the O’Donnell House as a historic site in 1984, preserving the residence for future generations.THE O’DONNELL HOUSE TODAy -- Settled on the sheer mountainside, the expansive terrace of the O’Donnell House seems to float above the desert floor. Meticulously restored by the Wil-lows Historic Palm Springs Inn, the O’Donnell House and grounds feature original and rare tile floors and bathrooms, redwood ceilings, antique furniture, unique gardens, impressive rock work and exquisite views of the desert below. The O’ Donnell House is available as a conference site and venue for weddings, corporate meetings, family gatherings and other events.

commitment to quality, flavor and “simply marvelous food and drink,”

it became an immediate success. Hamlet quickly became a Hollywood

landmark and was packed with celebrities every night of the week.

Over the next three decades, Hamlet expanded throughout Southern

In 1982, Joe and Vinnie Fabrocini opened an Italian restaurant in Tarzana, California and named it FABS in honor of the family. The success of the business helped start a trend of popular casual Italian eateries in Los Angeles. Soon afterwards, the family expanded across the city as two brands: FABS and Fabrocini’s. In 1984, Joe Fabrocini found a great location in Sherman Oaks. With some dedicated work and that “magic” the Fabrocinis bring to their loyal customers, it became FABS.

Motorcyclists can increase their safety by following these guidelines:• Participate in a motorcycle training course.• Avoid riding in poor weather conditions.• Wear a brightly colored protective gear and a DOT-compliant helmet.• Use turn signals for every turn or lane change.• Combine hand signals and turn signals to draw more attention.• Use reflective tape and stickers to make yourself more visible.• Position yourself in the lane where you will be most visible to other drivers.Drivers can help make motorcyclists safe by following these guidelines:• Road users are reminded to never drive, bike or walk while distracted. Doing so can result in tragic consequences for motorcyclists.• Remember that a motorcycle has the same rights and privileges as

any other vehicle on the roadway.• Allow the motorcyclist a full lane width. Although it may seem there is enough room in the traffic lane for an automobile and a motorcycle, remember the m o t o r c y c l e needs the room to maneuver safely. Do not share the lane.• Motorcycles are small and may be difficult to see. A motorcycle has as much smaller profile than a vehicle, which can make it more difficult to judge the speed and distance of an approaching motorcycle.• Always make a visual check for motorcycles by checking mirrors and blind spots before entering or leaving a lane of traffic and at intersections.

• Always signal your intentions before changing lanes or merging with traffic.• Don’t be confused by a flashing turn signal on a motorcycle – motorcycle signals are often not self-canceling and riders sometimes forget to turn them off. Wait to be sure the motorcycle is going to turn before your proceed.

Above: An example of unsafe motorcycle riding.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has declared the month of May as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. In support of Motorcycle Safety Awareness, the Los Angeles Police Department will deploy extra officers throughout the month to patrol areas frequented by motorcyclists and to crack down on traffic violations made by motorcyclists and other vehicle drivers that lead to deadly and injury related motorcycle traffic collisions. Warm weather is fast approaching, gas prices continue to increase and motorcycle enthusiasts take to the streets. There are over four million motorcycles registered in the United States. The popularity of this mode of transportation is attributed to the low initial cost of owning a motorcycle and its use as a pleasure vehicle. All motorists and other road users are reminded to safely “share the road” with motorcycles and to be extra alert to help keep motorcyclists safe. Motorcyclists are reminded to make themselves visible to other motorists.Recent data indicates that deaths and injuries attributed to motorcycle collisions are becoming a larger portion of a grave public health problem. Motorcycle crash-related fatalities have been increasing since 1997. The latest vehicle mile travel data show motorcyclists are about 27 times as likely as passenger car occupants to die in a motor vehicle traffic collision and six times as likely to be injured. Motorcycle fatalities steadily increased in California during the years 1998-2008, increasing 175 percent over that 10 year period; 204 fatalities in 1998 to 560 in 2008. That trend has stopped for now and data shows a 30 percent decrease in 2009 to 394 motorcyclists’ deaths. Despite this dramatic improvement, California remains one of three states that lead the nation in motorcyclist deaths. If you are new to riding or haven’t ridden a motorcycle in awhile, the Los Angeles Police Department strongly encourages you to attend a California Motorcyclist Safety Program. Information on this program is available at www.CA-msp.org or 1-877 RIDE 411 or 1-877-743-3411.

letter CarrIers to help stamp out hungerLOS ANGELES -- On Saturday, May 14, letter carriers across America will deliver more than mail along their postal routes. They will also collect the goodness and compassion of their postal customers who will participate in the NALC (National Association of Letter Carriers) Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.Now in its 19th year, the Stamp Out Hunger effort is the nation’s largest single-day food drive benefitting food banks around the country. Residents of Los Angeles and surrounding areas are asked to leave nonperishable food donations by their mailboxes, which will be picked up by their letter carriers as they deliver mail on their routes.MEND -- Meet Each Need with Dignity, the San Fernando Valley’s largest poverty relief organization, is working closely with the NALC to coordinate food collection and distribution to local food banks, pantries

and shelters.MEND President Marianne Haver Hill says the need for food assistance has never been greater and food banks are struggling to meet the surging needs of their clients.“The effects of the recession and unemployment are having a dramatic impact on agencies like ours that help the hungry. That is why events like this are critical,” she says.“The donated food helps fill community food banks and pantries throughout the Summer months when donations are at their lowest and the need for food at the highest.”Ralphs Supermarkets are underwriting the cost of 750,000 bags that letter carriers will leave in pre-designated neighborhoods to encourage food donations, but any sturdy bag can be used. Residents are asked to leave the bag containing non-perishable foods such as canned soup, canned vegetables, pasta, rice or cereal next to their mailbox prior to the time of regular mail delivery on Saturday, May 14. Food items should be in non-breakable containers, such as boxes and cans.Led by the National Association of Letter Carriers with the help of rural letter carriers, other postal employees and numerous other volunteers, the drive has resulted in

delivery of more than one billion pounds of donations to community food banks and pantries over the past 19 years. The drive relies on the backing of the National

Association of Letter Carriers, Feeding America, United States Postal Service, the nation’s food bank network: Campbell’s Kitchen, and local sponsors such as KTLA and Ralphs.

mIke gatto’s BIll to CurB munICIpal salary anD pensIon exCesses Clears major hurDle

SACRAMENTO, CA -- Last week, the California State Assembly’s Public Employees, Retirement and Social Security Committee unanimously passed AB 1184 authored by As-semblyman Mike Gatto (D-Los Angeles). The legislation would force cities that recruit staff by offering exorbitant salaries to bear the burden for the increased pension costs that result. Currently, the taxpayers of the previous cities at which the employee worked (and ultimately, the state pen-sion funds) have to bear those pension costs. The legislation would prevent city councils like Bell’s from saddling taxpayers in other cities with enormous debt. As just one example: Bell lured the police chief of Glendale by offering him over a 100% raise, from approximately $200,000 a year to over $400,000. Under the existing sys-tem, however, Bell is only responsible for 3% of the chief’s pension payments, leaving the previous cities at which he worked to pay 97% of the chief’s $400,000-plus pension. Gatto’s bill also contains a provision prohibiting cities by try-ing to go around federal and state pension caps by seeking excessive private pensions.“I was very pleased to see the bill proceed, as the current status quo is in need of re-form. The bipartisan support my bill received indicates that a broad group of the peoples’ elected representatives believe it to be a sound solution.” The committee hearing featured testimony from a cadre of pension experts. One witness testifying in support of the bill stated that AB 1184 stated, “this will do more to cap the runaway pensions than any bill you’ve seen in here or heard yet.”“Many people are suffering right now. The small group of people who’ve manipulated their pensions are turning public opinion against the very concept of retirement security. I believe this bill will eliminate the possibility of bad actors taking advantage of an anti-quated system,” said Gatto.(Mike Gatto is the Assistant Speaker Pro Tempore of the California State Assembly. He represents the cities of Burbank, Glendale, and parts of Los Angeles, including Los Feliz, North Hollywood, Silver Lake, Toluca Lake, Valley Glen, and Van Nuys.

ShintoBy Jorge Luis Borges

When sorrow lays us lowfor a second we are saved

by humble windfallsof the mindfulness or memory:

the taste of a fruit, the taste of water,that face given back to us by a dream,

the first jasmine of November,the endless yearning of the compass,

a book we thought was lost,the throb of a hexameter,

the slight key that opens a house to us,the smell of a library, or of sandalwood,

the former name of a street,the colors of a map,

an unforeseen etymology,the smoothness of a filed fingernail,

the date we were looking for,the twelve dark bell-strokes, tolling as we count,

a sudden physical pain.

Eight million Shinto deitiestravel secretly throughout the earth.

Those modest gods touch us--touch us and move on.
