2015 Surfing Walk of Fame
T ransworld Business' Chad Wiley brings us up to speed on Summer of
2015 in Surf City with..."The Vans US Open of Surfing is returning
to the iconic Huntington
Beach Pier this summer. The nine-day event has become the largest
action sports festival in the world and will bring to- gether the
top athletes in surf, skate, and BMX. All events are free and open
to the public.
“Huntington Beach is the perfect stage to bring the local community
together with passionate surf, skate and BMX fans to enjoy all the
beach lifestyle and surf heritage have to offer,” said James Leitz,
senior vice president, IMG.
Huntington Beach, CA (June 29, 2015) – Vans, the original action
sports footwear and apparel brand, joins the city of
Huntington Beach to present the 2015 Vans US Open of Surf- ing July
25 – August 2. In partnership with the World Surf League
(WSL) and event owner and operator IMG, the Vans US Open of Surfing
will host the world’s elite in surfing, skateboarding and BMX,
bringing premier action sports com- petition to Surf City
this summer. As part of a festival-wide celebration of creative
expression, the fan-driven event will also feature artist exhibits
and installations, beach activities,
interactive sponsor displays and more. “Nearly 50 years ago, Paul
Van Doren opened the first Vans
store just a few miles from the Vans US Open event site, the same
place where he met surf legend Duke Kahanamoku and made him
one-of-a-kind Vans to celebrate his unique style. It’s an honor to
carry forward that legacy of creative expres- sion here in 2015,”
said Doug Palladini, Vans’ vice presi- dent, general manager
of North America. “The Vans family, along with partners
IMG, WSL and the City of Huntington Beach, is look- ing
forward to our third straight year of providing action sports and
summer fun for thousands of fans within this historic
surf community.”
The nine-day event is staged at the famed Hunting- ton Beach Pier
and is the largest professional surfing competition and action
sports festival in the world. Hosting more than 300 world-class
athletes in surf, skate and BMX, the event draws more than half a
million locals and fans to this iconic location, and over a million
views of its live webcast.
“Huntington Beach is the perfect stage to bring the local community
together with passionate surf, skate and BMX fans to enjoy all the
beach lifestyle and surf heritage have to offer,” said James Leitz,
senior vice president, IMG. “We’re proud to be working with Vans
and the WSL for the third year
to stage such an incredible event.” The Open marks a key midseason
stop on the World Surf
League Women’s Championship Tour, and a major stop in the Men’s
Qualifying Series. In addition to the exciting drama of the pro
surf competition, Vans is pleased to bring back the Vans Joel Tudor
Duct Tape Invitational, an innovative surf series dedicated
to the expressive style and creativity of long-
boarding. A crowd-favorite, the Van Doren In- vitational
Skate and BMX
contests, will also return,
bringing the in- dustry’s leading
pro and amateur bowl riders to- gether to compete
in the legendary all-cement Vans Pro Bowl, live on the sand. In
between competitions, specta- tors are welcome to experience the
Van Doren Village, where
families can enjoy movie nights, art exhibitions, athlete and
artist autograph sessions and meet-and-greets, interactive photo
booths, prize give- aways, and much more.
The 2015 Vans US Open of Surfing will run from July 25 to August 2.

Huntington Beach, CA –
T he votes have been tallied and six legendary wave riders will
once again be forever enshrined in surfing’s history books on
July 30, 2015. Through a selection ballot, a host of respected surf
industry veterans, former professionals and surf journalists
narrowed down a field of hundreds of candidates to name the six
2015 Surfing Walk of Fame’s honorees in their respective
categories – Reno Abellira (Surf Champion), Paul Strauch (Surf
Pioneer), Dick Graham (Surf Culture), Sofia Mulanovich (Women of
the Year), John Boozer (Local Hero) and David Nuuhiwa Sr. (Honor
Roll).
The Surfing Walk of Fame is the only tribunal in surfing to award
specific categories as well as require a 10-year margin since the
commemorating achievement. This year’s re- cipients will be
cemented alongside past inductees, earning their immortal place in
the pavement on the corner of PCH and Main Street, directly
across from the famous pier in Surf City USA -- Huntington Beach,
California.
"We are celebrating our 22nd year of honoring people into the
Surfing Walk of Fame by placing engraved stones in the
sidewalk on Main Street and PCH,” said Don MacAl- lister, SWoF
Chairman of the Board. “We are pleased to have such a distinguished
group
to represent the surfing world this year.” Early bottom turn
innovator and “cheater five” inventor Paul Strauch earns the Surf
Pi-
oneer induction this year. Born in Hawaii, his timeless style also
transferred over into the contest realm where he won the
prestigious Makaha Invitational in 1959 as well as the 1966 Hawaii
state titles.
Legendary Hawaiian surfer/shaper Reno Abellira receives the Surf
Champion nod. With countless results on the early world pro circuit
as well as numerous North Shore podiums, perhaps Abellira’s
biggest victory came at thundering Waimea Bay as he topped Jeff
Hak-
man to win the 1974 Smirnoff Pro. The always-colorful Surf Culture
plaque will be awarded to Surfing Magazine cofounder
Dick Graham. After a lengthy journalism career than included
writing, photography and editing, Graham also contributed to the
evolution of the surf industry with stints at Light- ning Bolt and
Hang Ten beachwear.
The Woman of the Year honor will be presented to Peru’s Sofia
Mulanovich, South

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
There's no use in two peo- ple remembering the

Why Men Are Never Depressed
A guy walked into a crowded bar, waving his Colt pistol and yelled,
"I have a .45 Colt with an eight shot clip and I want to know who's
been
having an affair my wife?" A voice from the back of the room
called out... "You'll need more ammo!”
Daniel Snyder, owner of the NFL Redskins, has an- nounced that the
team is dropping the word
"Washington" from the team name and will henceforth be simply
known as "The Redskins".
It was reported that he finds that the word 'Wash- ington' imparts
a negative image of corruption, cheat- ing, and lying, and is not a
fitting role model for young fans of football.
Interestingly enough, there were several US Army Tomahawk missiles
near an Apache Helicopter during the press conference.
POCAHONTAS, PLEASE
PASS THE CORN!
Did you ever wonder why ear- rings became so popular with
men? A man is at work one day when he
notices that his coworker is wearing an earring .The man knows his
co- worker to be a normally conservative fellow and is curious
about his sud- den change in "fashion sense."
The man walks up to him and says, "I didn't know you were
into
earrings." "Don't make such a big deal, it's only an
earring,"
he replies sheepishly. His friend falls silent for a few
minutes,
but then his curiosity prods him to ask,
"So, how long have you been wearing
one?" "Ever since my wife found
it in my truck." I always won- dered how this trend got started...
(Now I Know!)
I n a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the
fortune teller delivered grave
news: "There's no easy way to tell you this, so I'll just be
blunt. Prepare yourself to be a widower. Your
wife will die a violent and horrible death this year."

Huntington Beach City Council Person
Barbara Delgleize asked me to share this with You: The vote was 7-0
on the Peters Landing & Don the Beachcomber’s from any zoning
changes and it will not be in- cluded in the General Plan
Update.
Huntington Beach Assistant City Manager
Ken Domer Said Recently: The straw votes provide a direction
for Staff in which to bring back an item for City
Council consider- ation at a future meet- ing. Relative to a
previous city council meeting, the votes will allow staff to
package an item for City Council consideration that in- cludes
disclosing of- fers/counteroffers after being rejected
as well as disclosing private communications be- tween an
interested party (ex, a union repre- sentative) and a Council
Member related to con- tract negotiations, among other trans-
parency items. The dis- cussion that referenced Newport
Beach's method" is related to how to implement transparency
measures. The Council can do so through an Ordinance, by
Resolution, or by policy direction, as the Newport
Beach City Council did (as opposed to Costa Mesa which did it by
Ordinance). Due to uncer- tainty with legal issues and pending
legis- lation, the understanding is that we will bring back
transparency items which can be implemented through Council policy
at this time. Doing it this way does not preclude the Council from
doing it by Resolution or Ordinance in the future.

EDITORIAL
B oria Sax is just interesting...and this piece is
historical..."After the two sides had been nearly equal for most of
the day at the Battle
of Waterloo, Napoleon ordered his elite Imperial Guard to charge,
and, shortly afterward, the French front abruptly collapsed, with a
completeness that was unprecedented on any side in the Napoleonic
Wars and perhaps in the preceding centuries. Ac- cording to several
witnesses, cries of "Sauve qui
peut!" ("Save yourself who can.") went through the French
army. For those who believed that some sort of Providence was
revealed through history, the dra- matic end seemed to signal a
turning point, whether it offered a prosperous future or
tragic grandeur. The 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo is
to be commemorated on June 18th. The remem-
brances are mostly a matter of nostalgia, focusing on
pageantry, uniforms, ceremony, and theater, as well as on small
details of the conflict. We are so far from the
period that today just about everyone can find
something to be wistful about.
There will be a reenactment of the
battle, perhaps more elaborate than any such display
before,
but we should not let a magnificent specta- cle distract us
from asking probing ques- tions. Why did the French front disinte-
grate in such an unpar- alleled way? The charge of the Imperial
Guard was clearly a fi- asco, but there have
been plenty of other disastrous assaults in history,
such as Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg in the American Civil
War or the English Charge of the Light Brigade at the
Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War. Neither of those was
followed by a breakdown of discipline similar to that of the French
at Waterloo. The ex-
planation must be, at least in part, because, after
over a decade and a half of fighting for abstractions such as
"glory" (which seemed increasingly hollow amid repeated scenes of
carnage), the soldiers were
bone-weary.
Not since the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) had a Continental
army battled continuously for so long a time, and soldiers of the
early seventeenth century were notorious for flouting the wishes of
their offi- cers. Napoleon's men had fought two intense yet in-
decisive battles on the previous day, and broke down under the
accumulation of psychological and
physical stress. Historians have at times claimed that an
army of seasoned veterans was an advantage for Napoleon at the
start of the Battle of Waterloo,
but it may have been a fatal handicap instead. Many,
including commanders such as Marshal Ney and even Napoleon himself,
were probably far more traumatized, and more erratic, than anybody
real- ized at the time. A warning precedent, albeit an ironic one,
was how the army had deserted Louis XVIII for Napoleon a few months
before. They were, to put it bluntly, sick and tired of the
very
things that people are com- memorating now.
But the victors at Waterloo, Wellington very much in- cluded, had
good reason to re- tain a legend of Napoleon, since the presence of
a formi- dable adversary added to their achievement. A knight
errant, after all, requires a dragon to slay. As a result, the
reality of the battle was concealed by propaganda from
both parties. People can become nostalgic about anything, including
the eras of brutal conflicts, plagues, natural catastro-
phes, and ruthless dictator- ships. They need only remember
very selectively and then find, or else imag- ine, some redeeming
qual- ity such as solidarity or the opportunity for heroism. War,
especially, blends ex- perience and fantasy in the most
seductive way, by means of decorations, cos- tumes, songs, rituals,
and colorful tales. When wars
are in progress, people wish fervently for them to end, but, when
they are over, people look back at them with a paradoxical
affection. There cannot be much harm in wishing the days of
Waterloo were
back, since that can never come about, but we should try not
to lose perspective. Let us, then, indulge our- selves by
"remembering" Waterloo for a week, but then forget it in the years
to come."

"Push him hard now. He'll go. Give him a good boost."
9-year-old Keegan Rothman pushed his massive catch back into the
river in British Columbia.
Keegan, who is from New Jersey, was on a week- end fishing trip
with his dad when he hooked a 600- pound white sturgeon just
hours into the outing.
The Globe and Mail reports it took Keegan nearly 2 hours to reel in
the 10-foot beast with the help of his dad and their fishing
guide. Officials guessed it was 75 years old based on its
size.
Great River Fishing Adventures posted video of the 4-ft tall,
80-pound American releasing his catch for the next lucky
kid.
The white sturgeon are the largest freshwater fish in North America
and known for growing as long as 20 ft. and weighing around 1,800
lbs!
HOLY STURGEON Yahoo, Ms. Mayer MAKERS Team made their
mark with this
dollar and cents evaluation..."Equal pay for equal work has been an
ongoing battle for decades. However, it seems that the gender gap
between female and male CEOs is beginning to narrow.
So far, 21 out of 22 in the Standard & Poor’s 500 have reported
their compensation, reports USA Today Money. Among the list is
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer who is the highest paid fe- male CEO this
fiscal year, earning $42 million. Her salary places her seventh
among all current CEOs."
R ecently, the Hunting- ton Beach Police De- partment
participated
in the Special Olympics Torch run by taking the Torch from the
Fountain Valley Police Department at Beach Blvd. and Talbert Ave.
and running 12 miles to PCH and Ander- son St. where the Torch was
handed off to the Seal Beach Police Department.
The Torch continued on its way to California State, Long Beach for
the lighting of the “Flame of Hope,” which marks the beginning of
the
Summer Games. The Torch Run is an annual event requir- ing more
than 3,500 runners from over 300 police agen- cies to carry the
Special Olympics Torch. All depart- ment personnel who partic-
ipated in this run donated their time. The flame trav- eled about
1,500 miles, through 200 Southern Cal- ifornia cities before mak-
ing its way to the Summer Games Opening Ceremony at California
State University, Long Beach held last weekend.

Do Opposites Attract
A lmost every group of MLB employ- ees seems to think they're
underpaid. In the past two years the league has
been besieged by complaints and/or lawsuits from clubhouse
attendants, administrative workers, interns, “volunteers,” and
Minor League players. They all complain that MLB violates the
federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) along with state wage
and hour laws by failing to pay minimum wage and overtime.
Now, scouts have jumped on the litigation bandwagon. Two
weeks ago for- mer Kansas City Royals scout Jordan Wyckoff filed a
class action lawsuit
claiming that many MLB scouts make less than min- imum wage and
aren’t
properly compensated for overtime work. In addition to
his FLSA argument, Wyckoff also alleges that MLB teams conspire to
keep scouts’ wages de-
pressed in violation of state and federal antitrust
laws.
Wyckoff claims he was paid $15,000 a year as a part
time scout for the Roy- als, scouring the northeast- ern part of
the country for MLB prospects. During
that time he often worked 50-60 hours per week, effectively earning
less than $5 per hour, substantially less than the federal minimum
wage of $7.25 per hour.
If the Wyckoff case sounds like a broken record, perhaps the record
is indeed broken, i.e., MLB consistently squeezes the folks
it can. Before Marvin Miller
arrived on the baseball scene in the mid-‘60’s, MLB treated its
players like serfs. The players had no union to protect them and in
most cases teams even refused to deal with agents, leaving the
players at a distinct disadvantage when dealing with
management.
That all changed after 1966 when Miller became executive director
of the players’ union. It became much more difficult to
squeeze the players, so much so that the league finally gave up
after the disastrous 1994 strike almost rele- gated the sport to an
afterthought. MLB decided to treat the players like part- ners
rather than chattel and, contrary to the owners’ concerns, the game
has flourished ever since.
Alas, MLB execs don’t have to treat other employees like partners
because none of them, save for MLB umpires, are represented by a
union. That seems to be the common denominator between employees
who are well treated and those who aren’t, which is a sad
commentary on management-employee rela- tions. Shouldn’t non-union
employees be treated in a decent, fair and ethical manner and in
accordance with federal and state laws without having to resort to
the courts?
Count on MLB to raise the standard defenses, including that it’s
exempt from FLSA because it’s a seasonal business and that Wyckoff
was a salaried em-
ployee and therefore not entitled to overtime pay. We won’t
know the outcome of the Wyckoff case for some time. What isn’t in
doubt is that many MLB employees believe they are mistreated. With
so much smoke, there may indeed
be a fire.

Most water districts achieved double digit cuts in water
conservation, but
some communities still have work to do to meet state goals.
P aige Austin (Patch Staff squeezed every drop of info out of this
story she could and filled a bucket with im- portant kudos
for us and out neighbors..."All of Orange
County’s water districts posted double- digit gains in water
conservation compared to May 2013, the State Water Re- sources
Control Board reported today.
The robust improvement in conservation follows a statewide trend
last month during the drought, which officials say was the best
month for reducing water consumption.
Across California water use was down 28.9 percent in May.
Gov. Jerry Brown has called for an over- all 25 percent drop in
water use over 2013 totals because of the continuing drought,
though individual water suppliers have been assigned varying
cutback targets.
“The numbers tell us that more Californians are stepping
up to help make their communities more water secure, which is
welcome news in the face of this dire drought,” said State Water
Board Chair Felicia Marcus.
“That said, we need all Californians to step up -- and keep it up
-- as if we don’t know when it will rain and snow again,
because we don’t,” she said. “If the drought continues beyond
this year, we’ll all be glad we did.”
The Yorba Linda Water District in Pla- centia posted the best rate
as it reduced water consumption by 35 percent over
May 2013. Other city and water district results for May in the
region,
according to water board data:
* Garden Grove, 24 percent;
* Golden State Water Company West Orange, 24 percent;
* Anaheim, 25 percent;
* Westminster, 19 percent;
* La Habra Public Works, 29 percent;
-- Buena Park, 30 percent;
* Huntington Beach, 22 percent;
* San Clemente, 25 percent;
* Laguna Beach County Water District, 20 percent;
* Moulton Niguel Water District, 28 percent;
* Fullerton, 25 percent;
* San Juan Capistrano, 26 percent;
* Trabuco Canyon Water District, 18 percent;
* Newport Beach, 22 percent;

DORIS DAY
Although she's stayed out of the limelight for 45 years, Doris Day
still holds the title of the biggest female box-
office draw in Hollywood history. She shared top billing with stars
like James Stewart and Cary Grant (but turned down an offer to play
Mrs. Robinson in "The Graduate") and recorded 20 albums. Now 90,
Day enjoys a "que sera sera" life in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif.,
where she has adopted many pets and devotes herself to animal
rights.Bobby Vin- ton
He looked and sounded great in "Goodfellas"—but that was actually
Bobby Vinton's son Robbie. Not that the orig- inal Polish Prince is
unable to hold his own. From 1962 to 1972, he had more No. 1 hits
than any other male solo artist. Today, at 79, he lives on
Florida's Gulf Coast with his wife, Dolly. They've been married
since 1962, the year Vinton recorded "Roses Are Red (My Love)," his
first single.

BEAUTIFUL & HAUNTING A
bout six miles from Maas- tricht, in the Netherlands,
lie
buried 8,301 American sol- diers who died in "Operation
Market Garden" in the battles to liberate Hol- land in the
fall/winter of 1944.
Every one of the men buried in the cemetery, as well as those in
the Cana- dian and British military cemeteries, has been adopted by
a Dutch family who mind the grave, decorate it, and keep alive the
memory of the soldier they have adopted. It is even the
custom to keep a portrait of "their" American soldier in a
place of honor in their home.
Annually, on "Liberation Day," memorial services are held for "the
men who died to liberate Hol- land." The day concludes with a
concert. The final piece is always "Il Silenzio," a memorial piece
commissioned by the Dutch and first played in 1965 on the 20th
an-
niversary of Holland's liberation. It has been the concluding
piece of the me- morial concert ever since.
This year the soloist was a 13-year- old Dutch girl, Melissa
Venema,
backed by André Rieu and his orches- tra (the Royal Orchestra
of the
Netherlands). This beautiful concert piece is based
upon the original ver- sion of taps and was composed by Ital- ian
composer Nino Rossi.
ere Is Enough Dough To Be Made Rick
Aristotle Munarriz
The hottest trend in fast casual is no longer
burritos, freshly baked sandwiches or even gour- met burgers.
The key to fast growth in the other- wise stagnant restaurant in-
dustry is pizza.
Yes, pizza. Unlike the traditional
pizzerias that are best known for the quick deliv- eries of
large pies, the fast- casual movement is led by chains that
assemble indi- vidual-sized pizzas as they're ordered, firing them
up in commercial ovens that bake up the cus- tomized pies in
minutes.
Nation's Restaurant News recently singled out some of
the rising stars of fast-casual pizza. They are small
regional chains at the moment. There's Fired Pie in Arizona, Blast
825 in California and &pizza in the Washington, D.C.,
area.
The movement is strong, and even the biggest play- ers are still in
their infancy.
Nation's Restaurant News points out that Pasadena-
based Blaze Pizza was the first chain to hit 50 units last
year, but two other concepts -- Pieology and Mod Pizza -- are
expected to surpass 100 locations by the end of this year.
Things are moving pretty fast in this space and even the big
boys are start- ing to pay attention.
THERE'S DOUGH TO BE MADE
Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) hopped on the fast- casual craze early
with its namesake burrito chain, and two years ago it made a
tactical investment in Pizzeria Locale. It tweaked the concept by
incorporat- ing the assembly-line or- dering process that has made
Chipotle so popular, letting folks pick out indi- vidual toppings
for the 11- inch pies that are then
baked up in turbo ovens that deliver the goods in
just two minutes. Buffalo Wild Wings
(BWLD) has also taken a minority stake in Piz- zaRev, another
fast-casual concept. Customers order artisanal pizzas that
are
built as they're ordered and they're ready to eat after a
three-minute stint in the oven.
Some of the chains that don't have affiliations with
public companies are also well connected. Fired Pie was
started by regional ex- ecutives from California Pizza Kitchen and
&pizza has Ruby Tuesday's (RT) founder as its chairman
of
the board. With privately held
chains growing quickly and big money behind some of the publicly
traded operators, it's a safe
bet that vacant stand-alone buildings and strip mall
locations will be easy sells for this new breed of
pizzeria. One would think that the new niche's suc-
cess would come at the expense of traditional chains, but that
hasn't been the case so far. Analysts see revenue at Papa John's
(PZZA) and Domino's (DPZ) growing at 5 and 9
percent, respectively, this year. Then again, they have also
embraced the trend by adding fancier fare to compete with
changing dining prefer- ences.
The fast-casual pizza trend is heating up, and just like the pies
themselves, it's heating up in a hurry.

way to recycle my old and/or unwanted paint,
primer and stains ~ Kim Beeler, Lake Oswego, OR
Has one of the many popular shows on HGTV in- spired you to reno-
vate your own home? If so, you’re not alone! Home renovations
have
been on the rise the last few years in the U.S. and Canada,
which can mean lots of left- over paint. Extra
paint can last for years when prop- erly sealed and
stored away from extreme heat and cold, and if unneeded, can be do-
nated to organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Keep America
Beautiful. But if paint can no longer be used, what are some safe,
environmentally-responsible ways to dispose of it?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that about
10 percent of the house paint pur- chased in the United States each
year—about 65 to 69 million gallons—is discarded. Leftover and
unus- able paint wastes causes pollution when disposed of
improperly, the EPA warns. Before you can decide how to dispose of
old paint, you'll need to determine what kind of paint it is. There
are two types of paint: oil-based and latex; and regulations on
disposal of
each type of paint vary by location. In some areas, latex paint can
be thrown out with
the trash as long as it is completely dried. Keep in mind that some
household waste haulers may not pick up latex paint even if
it is completely dried, so always check with your local waste
disposal service provider on rules and regulations applicable
to your area.
Oil-based paints, as well as paint thinners and other paint
solvents, are considered hazardous household waste (HHW) and are
typically dis-
posed of at HHW facili- ties. While many communities across
the country will hold annual or semi-annual HHW collection days to
make
paint disposal easy for local residents, the new
non-profit Paint- Care is allowing residents of Cali- fornia,
Connecti- cut, Rhode Island,
Oregon, Minnesota and Vermont to have convenient disposal of house
paint, primers, stains, sealers and clear coatings year-round.
There is no charge for dropping off paint at a PaintCare
drop-off site, and Paintcare’s site locator (available on their
website and app) allows residents of applicable states to quickly
find their closest drop-off location. PaintCare loca- tions can be
found at select Sherwin-Williams, True Value, Ace Hardware and
other retailers.
“Retailer support of the PaintCare program is not only good
business practice, but also an extension of good customer
service,” says Scott Cassel, Chief Ex-
ecutive Officer of the Product Stewardship Institute, Inc., a
nonprofit that in partnership with the paint in- dustry, led the
national dialogue that laid the founda- tion for the PaintCare
program. “By providing paint drop-off locations, retailers not only
encourage more foot traffic, but they also offer an important kind
of community service that addresses both environmental
protection and convenience.” PaintCare manages the leftover
paint it receives ac-
cording to a policy of “highest, best use.” Their goal is to
recycle as much as possible. Most of the oil-
based paint is taken to a cement plant where it is
blended into a fuel and burned to recover the energy value.
Latex paint that is not rusty, molding or spoiled is sent to
recycling companies and reprocessed into new paint. Some paint that
the non-profit receives is nearly new and in excellent condition,
and is given away at swap shops or to charitable organizations.
Paintcare plans to expand its locations into Colorado in July of
2015, Maine in August of 2015 and the Dis- trict of Columbia in
January of 2016.

A Great Read For All If you will take the time to read these.
I promise
you'll come away with an enlightened perspec- tive. The subjects
covered affect us all on a daily basis: They're written by
the late Andy Rooney (ex-
60 Minutes USA), a man who had the gift of saying so much with so
few words. Enjoy...
I've learned... That the best classroom in the world is at the feet
of an elderly person.
I've learned... That when you're in love, it shows. I've learned...
That just one person saying to me,
'You've made my day!' makes my day. I've learned... That having a
child fall asleep in
your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.
I've learned... That being kind is more important than being
right.
I've learned... That you should never say no to a gift from a
child.
I've learned... That I can always pray for someone when I don't
have the strength to help him in some
other way. I've learned... That no matter how serious your
life
requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy
with.
I've learned... That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold
and a heart to understand.
I've learned... That simple walks with my father around the
block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an
adult.
I've learned... That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The
closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
I've learned... That money doesn't buy class. I've learned... That
it's those small daily happen-
ings that make life so spectacular. I've learned... That under
everyone's hard shell is
someone who wants to be appreciated and loved. I've learned... That
to ignore the facts does not
change the facts. I've learned... That when you plan to get even
with
someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt
you.
I've learned... That love, not time, heals all wounds.
I've learned... That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is
to surround myself with people smarter than I am .
I've learned... That everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with
a smile.
I've learned... That no one is perfect until you fall
in love with them. I've learned... That life is tough, but I'm
tougher. I've learned... That opportunities are never lost;
someone will take the ones you miss. I've learned... That when you
harbour bitterness,
happiness will dock elsewhere. I've learned... That I wish I could
have told my
Mom that I love her one more time before she passed
away.
I've learned... That one should keep his words both soft and
tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.
I've learned... That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your
looks.
I've learned... That when your newly born grand- child holds your
little finger in his little fist, that you're hooked for life
I've learned... That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain,
but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing
it.
I've learned... That the less time I have to work with, the
more things I get done.
To all of you... Make sure you read all the way down to the last
sentence.
It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much you care.
Send this to everyone you con- sider a FRIEND... HAPPY FRIENDSHIP
WEEK TO YOU!!!!!! YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONORED!

T he worldwide automotive industry has
been enjoying a period of relatively strong growth and
profitability, and
annual sales have reached prerecession levels in some regions. Yet
considerable uncertainty about the future remains.
The most immediate challenge is the un- evenness of global markets.
Auto industry executives and experts tend to be optimistic about
the U.S. market, forecasting annualized sales in North America in
the near term of a relatively robust 16 million cars, up from only
13 million in 2008. However, the out- look in Europe is much weaker
as the region is emerging fitfully from a six-year sales slump. And
sales have plunged in Russia and South America — they were down by
about 25 percent and 15 percent, respectively, in August 2014
year-over-year. Meanwhile, the Indian market’s performance has been
incon- sistent. And growth in China — the world’s largest vehicle
market — has slowed, even though investments by most original
equip- ment manufacturers (OEMs), which are bet- ting big on future
demand, continue to ramp up. Reacting strategically to these demand
shifts will be an absolute priority for industry leaders in
2015.
Against this backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainty, we believe
major transitions are under way that will transform auto manufac-
turing over the next 10 years. OEMs, suppli- ers, and dealers not
only must navigate through these changes in the short term to
build market share and profitability — they also should take
steps now to position them- selves for success in the next
decade.
WH T’S DRIVING CH NGE
From the ground level, three powerful forces are roiling the auto
industry: shifts in consumer demand, expanded regulatory re-
quirements for safety and fuel economy, and the increased
availability of data and infor- mation.
Shifts in consumer demand. Consumers appear to be rethinking their
long love affair with individual automo
