YOU ARE LISTENING TO THE DISABILITY NETWORK. AND MY NAME IS JANET NEAL, AND WE ARE SPONSORED BY THE L.A. COUNTY COMMISSION ON DISABILITIES, CAPTIONING BY THE L.A. COUNTY COMMISSION ON DISABILITIES, AND I THINK WE HAVE OUR CHIEF HEAD CAPTIONER ON THE LINE. GUEST: YOU HAVE THE GREATEST OF ALL CAPTIONERS. HA HA. I'M A LITTLE BETTER. JANET: I'M SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT. SANDY WAS UNDER THE WEATHER A BIT LAST TIME WE WERE ON THE AIR. I'M GLAD TO HEAR SHE'S A LITTLE BIT BETTER. GUEST: I'M GETTING THERE. WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GIVE THE CAPTIONING LINK. JANET: YES, PLEASE. GUEST: GRAB A PEN OR PENCIL, AND IT IS KIND OF A LONG LINK. IT IS HTTP://WWW.STREAMTEXT.NET/TEXT.ASPX?EVENT=JANETSPLANET. I'M GOING TO REPEAT THAT. JANET: PLEASE. GUEST: HTTP://WWW.STREAMTEXT.NET/TEXT.ASPX?EVENT=JANETSPLANETAND IF YOU MISSED ANY OF THAT OR WANT MORE INFORMATION ON THE CAPTIONING PLEASE CONTACT ME INFO@YOURCAPTIONER.COM. WWW.YOURCAPTIONER.COM. I'M GOING TO THANK GAY FOR THE CAPTIONING. I'M GOING TO SIGN OFF MYSELF. JANET: WE'RE HAVING OUR INSTALLATION, A COUPLE OF THE OTHER THINGS. IT SHOULD BE VERY COOL, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH GAY AHEAD OF TIME TOO. ALL RIGHT. SANDY. DO ME A FAVOR. PLEASE TAKE CARE. GUEST: I AM. THANK YOU. JANET: WE WANT YOU ALL HEALED UP AND WELL. WE DON'T WANT YOU TO BECOME PART OF THE WALKING WOUNDED. GUEST: I WILL MISS YOU TODAY. BUT HAVE A GOOD ONE. JANET: TAKE CARE. FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS HERE IS I WANT TO GO OVER THE AGENDA BEFORE I INTRODUCE MY GUEST WHO IS WILLIAM KIDSTON. WE LOST HARLEY ON JUNE 20TH, 2011. HE HAD BEEN ILL FOR A WHILE, AND I DON'T KNOW. SOMETIMES PEOPLE KNOW WHEN THE CLOCK IS RUNNING OUT ON THEM. I THINK HARLEY KNEW AND HE KIND OF START PULLING BACK ON HIS INVOLVEMENT WITH THE COMMISSION WHICH CAUSED ME A GREAT DEAL OF CONCERN. I REALLY WORKED QUITE CLOSELY WITH HARLEY AND I'M GOING TO MISS HARLEY A LOT. THOSE THAT LIVE IN THE LONG BEACH MAY KNOW HARLEY. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES. ITEM 3 IS ELECTION OF OFFICERS. THIS IS MY LAST TERM AS PRESIDENT OF THE COMMISSION. I AM HOPEFULLY GOING TO BE THE FIRST VICE PRESIDENT, AND JOHN TROUST WILL BE THE PRESIDENT, AND SINCE NO ONE IS RUNNING AGAINST US I THINK IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO TURN OUT LIKE THAT. 4, DISCUSSION TO PAY FOR THE TOTAL RECALL CAPTIONING FOR THE SHOW FOR THE YEAR. 5, IS APPROVAL TO PURCHASE REFRESHMENTS FOR INSTALLATION WHICH IS TODAY. THEN 10 IS ACCESS SERVICES REPORT. BY GIOVANI GOGREVE. 11 IS REPORT FROM OUR REPRESENTATIVE ON THE ACCESS BOARD WHICH IS CURT HAGAN. THIS IS SOMETHING NEW. I'M HAPPY WITH THE WAY THEY'VE PUT THIS TOGETHER. AND THEN 14 MATTERS NOT POSTED. UNDER THE COMMISSION'S JURISDICTION. 15, PUBLIC COMMENT. 16, ANNOUNCEMENTS BY COMMISSIONERS. 17, ADJOURNMENT. SO NOW THAT I HAVE THAT A LITTLE BIT OF BUSINESS OUT OF THE WAY WE CAN GET TO THE FUN PART. AND I'LL RE INTRODUCE MY GUEST. WOULD YOU PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF LIKE THE OLD WHAT'S MY LINE TV SHOW. GUEST: WILLIAM ANTHONY KIDSTON. I'VE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER FOR 18 YEARS. JANET: I MET WILLIAM WHEN I WAS DOING A TV SHOW THAT THE CITY HAD CALLED THE DISABILITY FORUM HOSTED BY MITCH POMERANTZ, AND AFTER THE SHOW HE KIND OF ASKED ME ABOUT THE COMMISSION AND WHAT THEY DID. OUR ANNUAL EVENT AND HE CAME OVER, AND VOLUNTEERED AND HAS BEEN TAKING PICTURES FOR US. THIS YEAR YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE PRIMARY PHOTOGRAPHER BECAUSE OUR LONG STANDING PHOTOGRAPHER GENE YOUNG IS NOT AVAILABLE SO THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT NOW. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU. I REALLY ENJOYED YOUR WORK, AND STUFF LIKE THAT. PLEASE CONTINUE. GUEST: WELL, WHEN I FIRST MET YOU I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU INSTANTLY, AND OUT OF THE MESSAGE THAT YOU STOOD FOR. I ENJOYED WORKING ON THE SHOW. I WORKED AS A CAMERAMAN ON THE SHOW. I GOT TO WORK WITH A LOT OF THE HANDICAPPED MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN. AND I FELT I WAS PART OF THE COMMUNITY. AND THEN WE WOULD DO THE STUDIO PART, AND WHICH I ENJOYED. I ENJOYED DOING, AND INTERACTING WITH ALL OF THE GUESTS. JANET: I LIKE LIVE TV. WHEN I WAS A KID I WANTED MY OWN TV SHOW. I USED TO WATCH ART LINKLETTER. I WANTED TO BE ART LINKLETTER OR SOUPY SALES. I FELT THAT WAS SOMETHING I WANTED TO DO. AND I WANTED TO BRING INFORMATION TO PEOPLE. WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MAYBE DOING SOME PRODUCTION TO GET SOME PROGRAMMING BACK ON AT LEAST CABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. I THINK THERE'S NOT ANYTHING OUT THERE. I ALREADY KNOW YOU HAVE THE SKILLS TO DO THAT. GUEST: YES. JANET: I'M LOOKING FORWARD THAT. SO THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU I GAVE YOU A PHOTOGRAPH, A PICTURE. BUT A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE, AND SINCE I GAVE YOU THAT ARTICLE I'VE HAD FOUR OR FIVE PEOPLE APPROACH ABOUT IT. DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS. WHY DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A LITTLE BIT. GUEST: IT'S PART OF THE VISION THAT I CREATED ABOUT SEVEN YEARS IN MY WISH. IT'S ABOUT HAVING MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN WHO'RE CHALLENGED. I HAVE ONE EYE SINCE THE AGE OF 14. I'VE BEEN WORKING PHOTOGRAPHER AND CAMERAMAN FOR YEARS. I WEAR THE EYE PATCH. I WEAR IT BECAUSE I CAN'T CLOSE THE LEFT EYE. AND I WEAR IT BECAUSE IT LOOKS SEXY. JANET: I THINK IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE PEOPLE MAKE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT VISION AND WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF DOING WHEN IT'S LIKE I REMEMBER THERE WAS A POLICE OFFICER JACE SENELLI. ONE OF THE BULLETS CAUGHT HIM IN THE EYE. AND LAPD SORRY THERE'S NO MONOCULAR COP. WE DUG UP THREE OR FOUR COPS THAT HAD ONE EYE. GUEST: ON MY RADAR WHAT I'VE SEEN, FOR EXAMPLE, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT BACK IN '88 THROUGH '89. ONE OF THE TRAINING OFFICERS HAPPENED TO BE IN A WHEELCHAIR, AND SINCE THEN I THINK IT'S BEEN BECOME VERY MUCH A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY NOW. FOR EXAMPLE, ON THE COVER THE USA TODAY A FEW WEEKS AGO THERE WAS A SOLDIER WITH AN ARTIFICIAL RIGHT LEG OR THEY SHOWED HIM MARCHING THROUGH THE MUD WITH THE ARTIFICIAL MUD, WITH THE NEW PROSTHESES. JANET: THE TECHNOLOGY. THIS IS NOT A BIG DEAL ANYMORE. PLUS THEY'RE TRANSPLANTING HANDS AND FACES AND WHO KNOWS WHAT. THEY'VE DONE HEARTS AND KIDNEYS, AND LIVER FOR LONG TIME. GUEST: WE'RE BECOMING MORE BIOTIC NOW. JANET: HECK YEAH. I NEED SOME BIOTIC BACK AND KNEES AND STUFF. GUEST: MAYBE A BIOTIC BRAIN TOO. GUEST: BUT REALLY WHY I'M HERE TOO IS TO SHARE THE VISION OF THE SPIRIT WHICH YOU'RE A PART OF THIS. I HAD THIS IDEA AND IT WAS LIKE GOING TO BE ME. I REALIZED VERY QUICKLY IT'S A GLOBAL COMMUNITY PROJECT, AND WHAT THE PROJECT IS SIMPLY PHOTOGRAPH MEN AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN A BLACK AND WHITE OR SEPIA TONE FORMAT LIKE ANSEL ADAMS, LIKE WETSON WOULD HAVING THE PRINTS BE 20 BY 30 IN SIZE. PHOTOGRAPHING THE MEN AND WOMEN AND THE CHILDREN IN CONTEXT WHAT MAKES THEM ALIVE. IT'S NOT DOING STUDIO PORTRAITS. IT'S PHOTOGRAPHING THE SOLDIER WITH ONE LEG. JANET: THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT UP THE PICTURE I GAVE YOU. IT WAS A DANCE TROUPE THAT'S ABLE BODIED, AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY. WHERE YOU HAVE A WHEELCHAIR IT BECOMES PART OF THE DANCE AS OPPOSED TO AS A HINDERANCE. IT MADE ME THINK THERE WAS A BODYBUILDER THAT WAS IN A WHEELCHAIR. YOU KNOW HOW HE WON. HE THREW HIMSELF OUT OF THE WHEELCHAIR, AND POSED ON THE FLOOR. IT GOT THE JUDGE'S ATTENTION. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT LIMIT THEMSELVES BECAUSE OF WHAT SOMEBODY ELSE THINKS. GUEST: YES. JANET: THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOUR PROJECT, IT SHOWS PEOPLE IN A FAVORABLE LIGHT. I THINK I MENTIONED MY FRIEND MIKE HODGE DOUBLE AMPUTEE. I HAD HEARD HE WAS DECEASED. I'M WATCHING TV, AND THERE'S MIKE JUMPING OUT OF AN AIRPLANE SKY DIVING. THERE ARE THE ONLY LIMITS THAT YOU HAVE REALLY ARE THE ONES YOU PUT ON YOURSELF. GUEST: THAT'S RIGHT. JANET, WE HAVE MORE HANDICAPS MENTALLY WHERE WE TALK OURSELVES OUT OF DOING SOMETHING. JANET: I STILL DO THAT. GUEST: OR EVEN HAVING A FEAR OF HEIGHTS. WITH ONE EYE I HAVE A FEAR OF HEIGHTS. JANET: I'VE GOT TWO, AND I'VE GOT THAT AS AN ISSUE. JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN'T ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE DISABILITY. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE PERSON. GUEST: WHAT THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO HAVE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS MADE INTO 30 BY 40 POINTS PRINTS. AND TO HAVE A HUNDRED OF THEM. AND HAVE THEM DISPLAYED IN MUSEUMS, AND GALLERIES, AND POSTCARDS. IT'S GOING TO HAVE THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY TO GO THE MUSEUM, AND SHATTER ANYTHING THEY MAY HAVE ABOUT HANDICAPPED MEN AND WOMEN. WE'RE ALL THE SAME. JANET: MY THEORY OR MY SLOGAN THAT I BORROWED FROM THE UNITED STATES POST OFFICE WITH THE LITTLE PIN AND THE COMMISSION USES IT WHICH IS DISABLED DOESN'T MEAN UNABLE. I THINK WHAT YOU'RE ILLUSTRATING THROUGH IT DOESN'T. GUEST: THAT'S RIGHT. JANET: DO YOU EVER WATCH CIRQUE DE SOLIEL PERFORMANCES? GUEST: YES. JANET: THERE'S A GUY THAT INCORPORATES THE CRUTCHES INTO THE DANCE. GUEST: THE WHEELCHAIR IS PART OF THE ART FORM OF THE DANCE. YOU WOULD THINK THIS IS NOT A PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED PERSON, THAT THEY'RE USING THE WHEELCHAIR ON PURPOSE FOR THE SHOW BUT INSTEAD OF THAT THEY INCORPORATED THE GENTLEMAN IN THE WHEELCHAIR AS THEY USED THE CHAIR AS A GYMNAST. HE HAD A DANCE IN THE CHAIR, AND FULLY EXTENDING THEIR HANDS, EVERY ARM IS UP, AND THE AUDIENCE IS MOVED BY THE FACT THAT THIS PERSON IS IN A WHEELCHAIR, AND WOW THIS PERSON IS LIVING THEIR LIFE FULLY. THEY'RE UNSTOPPABLE. IT'S WHAT THE PROJECT IS. IT'S TO HAVE THE WORK BECOME SO MAINSTREAM. YOU GO TO THE GALLERIES, AND THEN YOU START TO REALIZE THESE PEOPLE ARE UNSTOPPABLE. THAT IT'S REALLY THOSE TO SHATTER ALL OF THE MYTHS ABOUT HANDY CAPABLE PEOPLE. JANET: TO HELP THOSE OF US THAT THINK WE CAN'T. AND USE THAT TO COOK YOUR WAGON IF THIS PERSON CAN DO THIS I CAN TRY. GUEST: IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT IT'S FIRST HAVING PEOPLE GET A BARRIER, AND BECOME SO MAINSTREAM. WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE IN A WHEELCHAIR YOU CAN TALK TO THEM NORMALLY ABOUT BEING IN A WHEELCHAIR. MAYBE THEY HAVE ONE LEG, AND WALK ON CRUTCHES. A LOT OF THE PEOPLE AND THEY DON'T HAVE THIS LITTLE BARRIER. REALLY THE CONTEXT IS TO BECOME SO MUCH OF OUR COMMUNITY OUT THERE THAT IT SHATTERS ALL OF THAT. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR LEG, AND WELL I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO SAY. AND BE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH IT. JANET: PEOPLE GET CAUGHT UP OH IF THAT WAS ME. IT WOULD MAKE ME SO SAD. I DON'T WANT TO UPSET THIS PERSON BUT OFTEN YOU LOOK THEM IN THE EYE JUST LIKE YOU DO ANYBODY ELSE, AND SAY HI HOW YOU DOING. GUEST: YOU AND I ARE THAT'S PART OF OUR WAY OF BEING. WE FIND WE DEAL WITH THAT UNCOMFORTABLENESS, AND I SEE THE REASON I KIND OF WORK WITH THEM GETTING OVER THAT LITTLE BARRIER WITH ME. JANET: I GREW UP WITH A BUNCH OF AWKWARDNESS AND I GREW UP IN A SCRAPPY NEIGHBORHOOD. I KIND OF GOT TREATED A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. I LEARNED TO DEAL WITH THAT JUST HEAD ON BECAUSE THEY WERE MY NEIGHBORS, AND IT'S LIKE OKAY MAYBE YOU DON'T LIKE ME OR WHATEVER FOR WHATEVER REASON I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS BUT YOU'RE STILL MY NEIGHBOR AND I'M GOING TO TREAT YOU WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT, AND WHAT HAPPENED THOSE BARRIERS KIND OF START MELTING. I STILL HAVE SOME OF THOSE FRIENDS THAT I MADE BACK WHEN I WAS GOING TO VIRGINIA ROAD WHEN IT WAS ONE THIRD BLACK, ONE THIRD ASIAN, AND ONE THIRD ANGLO, AND WE WERE TAUGHT TO GET ALONG, AND THINGS LIKE DISABILITY WERE KIND OF BLENDED INTO THE MIX. IT WASN'T AN ISSUE AT ALL, AND OFTEN WHEN YOU LET KIDS WORK THINGS OUT FOR THEMSELVES THEY WILL ASK THOSE QUESTIONS THEMSELVES. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR LEG. HOW COME YOU HAVE THAT PATCH THERE. IT GIVES YOU A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN, AND OH THEN THEY SKIP OFF, AND THOSE THINGS STICK WITH THEM. I MET A PERSON WHO HAD ONE LEG, AND IT WAS OKAY AND THEY TALKED TO ME, AND TREATED ME WITH DIGNITY, AND RESPECT. YOU KNOW THAT'S A TOP OF MY LIST IS DIGNITY, AND RESPECT. IT'S AN ETHICAL ISSUE WITH ME JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS A DISABILITY IS NO REASON TO DIS RESPECT THEM. THERE ARE A LOT OF JERKS OUT THERE THAT PEOPLE GIVE RESPECT TO. I THINK SOMEONE THREW SOME SHAVING CREAM AT ONE OF THEM YESTERDAY. THAT PERSON I THINK HAS A DISABILITY BECAUSE I THINK THAT DISABILITY IS BETWEEN THE EARS. GUEST: YES. JANET: IT'S NOT ANYTHING ELSE. SO I THINK WE'RE ALL CAPABLE. GUEST: YES. JANET: SOMETHING I LEARNED FROM MARY KAY. ANYTHING THAT THE MIND CAN CONCEIVE YOU CAN ACHIEVE. MAYBE I CAN'T RUN AS FAST AS SOMEBODY ELSE BUT I'M GOING TO GET THERE, AND I CAN RUN FOR ME SO I FEEL THE SAME EXPERIENCES AS RUNNING AS YOU DO. I THINK THAT'S ALL WE SHOULD DO. GUEST: YOU TALKED ABOUT SLIGHTLY BUT IT IS DISCRIMINATION. JANET: YES. GUEST: I KNOW WITH THE COUNTY AND CITY THEY HAVE THESE ORGANIZATIONS AND THE OFFICE WAS CREATED BECAUSE OF THAT. I CAN'T IMAGINE 100 OR 50 YEARS AGO HOW THE HANDICAPPED WERE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST. JANET: THEY WERE LEFT BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. GUEST: I GREW UP FOR THE MOST PART WITH ONE EYE, AND I WORKED WITH MEN AND WOMEN WHO'RE HANDY CAPABLE. THEY PUT THEM AWAY LIKE THEY DID A HUNDRED YEARS AGO. JANET: THEY DIDN'T FEED THEM. THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE USELESS, AND WORTHLESS. I HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT IT I HAVE SOMETHING CALLED EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME. YOU CAN LOOK IT UP AT EDNF.ORG. BECAUSE THEY WON'T GIVE OUT ANY INFORMATION. THEY WANT YOU TO PAY FOR IT. YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT. THEY TELL US WHAT I WAS TOLD WHEN I WAS DIAGNOSED AND I WAS DIAGNOSED LATE WELL TELL THE PARENT TO TELL THE CHILD NOT TO PLAY ANY CONTACT SPORTS. DOCTOR THIS IS AN ADULT. OH WELL SINCE THIS IT'S GENETIC AND IT'S IN MY FAMILY. I HAD ONE OF MY GRANDMOTHER'S SISTERS THAT THEY JUST STUCK HER IN A HOSPITAL BED. IN A ROOM BUT SHE WAS AT HOME. THIS WAS ALL THEY KNEW TO DO AT THE TIME. OFTEN THEY WOULD PUT YOU IN A INSTITUTION. SHE HAD A BRAIN TUMOR, AND HAD WHAT THEY CALLED HYSTERICAL PARALYSIS. SHE NEVER GOT UP AND WALKED. I COULD SEE SHE COULD MOVE. THE CONNECTIONS WEREN'T MADE. THE RESOURCES WEREN'T AVAILABLE AND NO ONE KNEW ABOUT THE RESOURCES THAT WERE AVAILABLE. SO I'VE ALWAYS BEEN AROUND WITH PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME. BECAUSE AGAIN MY DEAR AUNT NEVA. HER AND I WOULD HAVE SOME OF THE MOST INTELLECTUAL DISCUSSIONS. I WAS LIKE 7, 8 YEARS OLD. I'M ALWAYS TRYING TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE TO SEE WELL THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON HERE. WHAT CAN WE TALK ABOUT. I LIKE DOING THAT. I LIKE DOING THAT A LOT. I THINK THAT CAME WITH ME WHEN I WAS TEACHING NURSERY SCHOOL. WHEN I TAUGHT NURSERY SCHOOL I HAD THE PRESCHOOL SWEAT HOGS. AND I TALKED TO THEM JUST LIKE I TALK TO YOU. I EXPLAINED THIS IS WHAT'S GOING ON. YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN MY CLASS BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE ALWAYS IN TROUBLE. WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. I RAN INTO ONE OF THOSE KIDS I HADN'T SEEN HIM SINCE HE WAS 3 YEARS OLD AND HE FLAGGED ME DOWN ON THE STREET, AND HE RECOGNIZED ME AND I THINK IT WAS THE VOLKSWAGEN AND HE'S 40 YEARS OLD WITH GRAY HAIR. BUT HE STILL REMEMBERED THAT CONNECTION THAT I THINK IS SO IMPORTANT TO MAKE WITH PEOPLE. GUEST: YES. JANET: I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR I'M GOING TO CALL IT YOUR ART. GUEST: YES. THANK YOU. AND IT'S REALLY I HAVE YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE FOLKS TO HAVE IMMORTALIZED ABOUT THEIR PASSION OR SELF ESTEEM SHIFT BY DOING A GREAT PORTRAIT WHERE THEY SEE THEMSELVES DIFFERENTLY. EVEN WITH WEDDINGS I'VE DONE. I'VE COME FROM THE CONTEXT MAKING YOU LOOK GOOD. I LOVE PEOPLE. I WANT YOU TO LOOK GOOD BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO SEE THE INNER BEAUTY. IT'S HAVING THE PERSON THAT WE'RE PHOTOGRAPHING SEE THAT BUT ALSO THE REST OF THE WORLD. WHEN THE PERSON SEES THAT THEY CAN LOOK WITHIN THEMSELVES. SHATTER ALL THE MYTHS ABOUT THE HANDICAPPED MEN AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND ALSO TO LOOK AT ORDINARY PEOPLE. WE DON'T WANT TO BE ANY DIFFERENT. NO DISCRIMINATION, NO. JANET: I'M NOT ASKING TO BE TAKE THE HEAD OF THE LINE. DON'T MAKE ME STAND THERE. GIVE ME A NUMBER. GUEST: WE'RE LIKE ANYONE ELSE. IF WE'RE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST WE GET BITTER, AND ANGRY. JANET: I GET EVEN. IF YOU'RE DOING IT TO ME YOU'RE DOING IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE. I NEED TO MAKE SURE THIS IS THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENS. DON'T LET ME SEE SOMEBODY ELSE BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST. THERE WAS A THING ON TV YESTERDAY ABOUT A MEMBER OF THE LAKERS THAT PARKS IN THE HANDICAPPED PARKING SPACE, AND HE'S NEVER BEEN CITED. I THINK THAT'S THE END OF THAT. GUEST: YES. JANET: THAT'S THE END OF THAT. IF MY FRIEND CHIEF PRICE HADN'T BEEN RETIRED FROM THE POLICE. THEY ALL KNOW WHO IT IS, AND THEY PARK THERE ALL THE TIME. NOBODY SAYS ANYTHING TO HIM, AND IT'S NOT RIGHT. GUEST: I'VE DONE THAT MANY TIMES. I'VE GONE UP TO SOMEBODY THAT PARKED. AND I WILL APPROACH THEM, AND GET ON MY PHONE, AND THEY WERE GOING IN THE BANK, AND THEY WERE TRYING TO MOVE THEIR CAR. WHAT PEOPLE THEY SEE THAT SPOT MAY BE EMPTY ALL THE TIME. WHEN YOU'RE THERE. YOU DON'T REALIZE PEOPLE DO USE IT. WHEN THEY PULL UP THEY NEED THAT SPOT. JANET: I THINK THEY SHOULD GET OVER IT. JUST GET OVER IT. GUEST: IT'S 16 FEET TO GET TO THE DOOR, AND THERE'S SOMEBODY THAT NEEDS THAT SPACE. JANET: I THINK THEY SHOULD GET OVER IT. I'M JUST GOING TO BE HERE FOR A MINUTE. THAT'S LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO DIAL PARKING ENFORCEMENT. ONE OF THE WAYS I TRY TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE I HAND THEM MY CARD. I WANT TO REMIND YOU TO PUT YOUR PLACARD UP THERE. IT'S UP TO ME TO CALL PARKING ENFORCEMENT. SOMETIMES THEY REALLY DO HAVE THE PLACARD AND THEY'VE FORGOTTEN TO PUT IT UP THERE. I TRY TO GIVE YOU THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT. IF YOU WANT TO GIVE ME A BUNCH OF LIP. GET IN THE CAR. MOVE AWAY. DIAL PARKING ENFORCEMENT, AND GET THAT TICKET. BECAUSE THE WAY THAT THE THINGS ARE GOING WE NEED MORE REVENUE TO GO INTO THE CITY, STATE, COUNTY COFFERS. IF YOU SEE SOMEBODY OUT THERE THAT'S PARKED ILLEGALLY IN A HANDICAPPED PARKING SPACE PLEASE CALLING PARKING ENFORCEMENT. IF NOT DIAL 311. THAT'S JUST ONE OF MY PET PEEVES. I THINK I WORKED REALLY, REALLY HARD TO GET BACK ON MY FEET AFTER BEING IN THE HOSPITAL FOR SIX MONTHS, AND I CAN'T PARK. AT THE TIME IT WAS DRUG DEALERS AND GANG MEMBERS THAT WERE USING THEM. THEY FIGURED IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE. BUT ANYWAY, SO WHEN DO YOU THINK YOU MIGHT GET YOUR PROJECT GOING OR ARE YOU STILL IN THE PLANNING STAGES. GUEST: BOTH. WHAT I'VE DONE I'VE PUT TOGETHER A TEAM OF ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPH AND GRAPHIC ARTIST, AND YOU'RE AN ADVISOR/ARTIST, CREATIVE ENERGY AND WHAT I DID LIKE WHAT I DIDN'T REALIZE WHEN I PUT THE TEAM TOGETHER I I HAVE ONE EYE THEN MY FRIEND PATRICIA SHE'S BLIND, AND SHE'S RIGHT SHE'S WRITING CHILDREN'S BOOK YOU NEED TO BE PART OF THIS TEAM OF SPIRIT IS ALIVE. WE DO HAVE A DOMAIN NAME. MY BROTHER HE'S MY FIRST OFFICIAL SPONSOR SO WE'VE HAD THE DOMAIN NAME FOR I GUESS SINCE LAST DECEMBER. JANET: OKAY. GUEST: WE'RE WORKING ON BUILDING THE WEBSITE. FROM THAT WE'RE GOING TO START TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS, AND GETTING GRANT MONEY, AND SPONSORSHIP MONEY. JANET: I'VE NEVER DONE ONE. BUT MY NIECE. GUEST: SHE'S ON THE BOARD. JANET: I'LL MAKE HER SHOW ME HOW TO BE A GRANT WRITER. GUEST: AS THE TEAM COMES TOGETHER EXPONENTIALLY. PEOPLE ARE GETTING ON BOARD, AND EVERYTHING IS MOVING WITH VELOCITY. IT'S LIKE A ROLLER COASTER IN A GREAT WAY THAT. THE NEXT STEP NOW WHAT DO I DO. IT'S GROWING. JANET: WE'VE GOT 30 SECONDS LEFT. GIVE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION IN CASE ANYONE IS INTERESTED. GUEST: 310 739 6904, AND THEN E MAIL KIDSTON7730@GMAIL.COM. JANET: SO MUCH. WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME ON JANET'S PLANET.

JANET’S PLANET ON KTYM AM 1460 LOS ANGELES 7/6/11
REALTIME CAPTIONING OF L.A. COUNTY COMMISSIONER JANET NEAL’S DISABILITY-BASED RADIO SHOW JANET’S PLANET ON KTYM AM 1460 LOS ANGELES, WWW.KTYM.COM CAPTIONED BY TOTAL RECALL, WWW.YOURCAPTIONER.COM **PLEASE SEE THE BOTTOM OF THIS TRANSCRIPT FOR ADDITIONAL INFO** 7/6/11 THIS IS OUR ANNUAL SALUTE TO OUR VETERANS.

JANET: THANK YOU, SANDY SO MUCH. GUEST: YOU'RE WELCOME. JANET: WE USUALLY DO A TRIBUTE TO THE VETERANS THIS MONTH EVERY YEAR. WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOU LOCAL LISTENERS. I'D LIKE TO RIGHT NOW MENTION THE FACT THAT WE LOST ONE OF OUR COMMISSIONERS ON THE 20TH OF LAST MONTH. MR. HARLEY RUBINSTEIN WHO WAS A FIERCE ADVOCATE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES SO I'M GOING TO ASK ROBERT IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND SINGING A SONG RIGHT NOW AS A TRIBUTE TO OUR VETERANS. MY FAVORITE SONG THAT YOU DO. YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE FOR THOSE THAT WON'T GET TO HEAR IT BUT FOR THOSE LISTENING ON THE RADIO, HERE'S ROBERT. GUEST: MY PLEASURE. GOD BLESS EVERYONE. [MUSIC]. JANET: GOOD JOB. GOOD JOB. GOOD JOB. GOOD JOB ROBERT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I KNOW HARLEY WOULD REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE THAT AND I'M GOING TO MISS HARLEY A LOT. HARLEY WAS DEFINITELY SOMEBODY I'M GOING TO MISS A LOT. WE USED TO WORK TOGETHER ON SOME OF THE TRANSPORTATION ISSUES OUT THERE AFTER COMMISSION MEETINGS HE WOULD CALL ME, AND SAY WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THAT. HIM AND LATE COMMISSIONER HAMILTON. WE USED TO WORK TOGETHER ON THOSE THINGS. I'M GOING TO MISS HIM AS I MISS ERNEST HAMILTON. SINCE WE'RE DOING A TRIBUTE. ERNEST WAS A MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE I WANT TO COMMEMORATE. WE HAVE SOME THAT ARE STILL AROUND I'D LIKE TO MENTION. WE HAVE A MICHAEL HODGE. MICHAEL WAS A DOUBLE AMPUTEE. VIETNAM VETERAN. I CALL HIM WELL, THE CULVER CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT CALLS HIM IRON MIKE. I'VE KNOWN MIKE SINCE HE WAS 5 YEARS OLD. HE WAS A FRIEND A BROTHER OF MY BEST FRIEND. AND MIKE HAS BEEN A MARINE SINCE HE WAS A LITTLE BOY, AND HE'S STILL A MARINE. AND TO WILLIAM BERRY. TO BILL SPILLER, TO STEVE GURNEY MCNAIR. THANKS GUYS. AND THANKS FOR HELPING OUT BY SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY. I WANT TO MENTION I HAVE TO CHANGE THE NAME OF OUR SHOW. IT'S ANOTHER WAY JUST TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T GET CONFUSED WITH ANYBODY ELSE THAT'S CALLING THEMSELVES JANET'S PLANET. I'M JANET'S PLANET L.A.. THE FIRST THING I WANT TO GO OVER THERE IS THE AGENDA FOR THE CITY COMMISSION ON DISABILITY. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE THE SAME THING, INTRODUCTION, APPROVAL OF THEIR MINUTES. PUBLIC COMMENT. L.A. WORLD AIRPORT. SPECIAL ED. DEPARTMENT ON DISABILITY. DISCUSSION. STRATEGIES TO PROTECT THE DEPARTMENT ON DISABILITY. I THINK IT'S TIME THE COMMISSION DID SOMETHING TO PROTECT THE DEPARTMENT ON DISABILITY. THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING. STATE LEGISLATION ON DISABILITY. 9, AIDS COORDINATORS. 11 PUBLIC COMMENT. 12 NEW BUSINESS. ON THE CITY NEW BUSINESS END MS. BETTY WILSON WHO IS BASICALLY AN ICON IN THE DISABILITY MOVEMENT IS RETIRED AS OF JUNE 30TH FROM THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT ON DISABILITY. GOING TO MISS BETTY AND I'M HOPING WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEND A GIVE A NICE SEND OFF FOR BETTY, AND ALSO STEVE, JIMMY PRICE OF PARKING ENFORCEMENT. ANYTIME WE'VE HAD ANY PARKING ENFORCEMENT ISSUES CHIEF PRICE HAS STEPPED UP FOR US. I'M SORRY THAT CHIEF PRICE IS GONE. I BELIEVE HE'S GOT UP WITH THE POLITICAL BALONEY. BUT HE'S GONE, AND I JUST HOPE WHOEVER REPLACES HIM HAS AS MUCH RESPECT FOR US AS HE DID. NOW I'M GOING TO GO ON TO MY GUEST MR. RAY MUELLER. GUEST: GREAT. HOW ARE YOU DOING? JANET: I'M DOING OKAY. IT'S A LITTLE BIT EARLY FOR ME. I HAVE MY DOCTOR HERE. HE'S GOING TO WORK THAT OUT FOR ME I'M SURE. SO YOU WANTED WE WANTED TO TALK TODAY ABOUT SOME OF THESE OTHER ASBESTOS ISSUES WE HAD STARTED LAST MONTH. WHY DON'T YOU GIVE US AN OVERVIEW OF THE ISSUE AND TALK ABOUT THE VETERANS. GUEST: CERTAINLY. EVERY YEAR WE LOSE SOMEWHERE 600 TO 1,000 VETERANS AS A RESULT OF THEIR EXPOSURE IN THE UNITED STATES ARMED SERVICES AND SPECIFICALLY AS A RESULT OF THEIR EXPOSURE TO ASBESTOS. THESE MEN AND WOMEN DIE OF A DISEASE CALLED MESOTHELIOMA WHICH IS AN INCURABLE CANCER WHICH IS DUE TO EXPOSURE TO ASBESTOS. THERE IS A NUMBER OF THE MILITARY OF OUR VETERANS WERE EXPOSED TO ASBESTOS. IN THE NAVY THERE WAS ASBESTOS OVER THE PIPES PROBABLY OVER WHERE YOU WERE SLEEPING. THEY WERE ON BOARD ON SHIP. THERE WERE ASBESTOS IN THE GASKET MATERIAL IN THE PUMPS AND VALVES THAT PEOPLE WERE CHANGING. THERE WAS GASKET COVERING THE BOILERS AND THE ENGINE ROOMS. SO THE EXPOSURE TO ASBESTOS IS EXTREMELY SIGNIFICANT FOR ANY VETERAN WHO SERVED IN THE U.S. ARMED FORCES. AND PART OF WHAT I DO IS REPRESENT THOSE VETERANS WHEN THEY ACTUALLY DO COME DOWN WITH LUNG CANCER OR MESOTHELIOMA, WITH ANOTHER DISEASE CALLED ASBESTOSIS WHICH IS A SCARRING OF THE LUNGS THAT OCCURS OVER A PERIOD OF TIME AS TO THE EXPOSURE TO ASBESTOS. JANET: DID THEY JUST NOT KNOW, ARE THEY JUST NO ANSWER TO THAT. GUEST: YOU WOULDN'T KNOW, THE PEOPLE THEY'VE BEEN EXPOSED. JANET: THAT THEY'VE BEEN EXPOSED OR THE ASBESTOS WAS BAD STUFF? GUEST: SO THE LATENCY PERIOD WHICH IS THE TIME TO DEVELOP THE CANCER FROM EXPOSURE TO ASBESTOS CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM 20 40 YEARS. WHAT HAPPENS A LOT OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO I REPRESENT CURRENTLY SERVED OUR NATION IN THE KOREAN WAR, IN WORLD WAR II. I HAVE A NUMBER OF VETERANS WHO SERVED OUR NATION IN VIETNAM. SO THEY REALLY DON'T WHEN THEY COME DOWN WITH THIS DISEASE. UNLESS THEY'VE HAD BREATHING PROBLEMS THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED THEY HAVE IT. ONE OF THE THINGS I TRY TO GET TO THE VETERANS'S ORGANIZATIONS, AND EDUCATE PEOPLE THEY SHOULD GO INTO THE VA AND GET IF THEY CAN A CHEST X RAY ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING ANY BREATHING DIFFICULTY OR GET A SPIRAL CT SCAN, AND THAT WAY THE DOCTORS CAN SEE ON THEIR SCAN IF THERE'S ANY ASBESTOS SCARRING OR SPOTS ON THEIR LUNGS. JANET: WOW. I KNOW DR. RAMIREZ HAS BEEN DOING SOME STUFF WITH CANCER. BECAUSE BEFORE MY DAD DIED, A FEW YEARS BEFORE MY DAD DIED WE STARTED THE ACUPUNCTURE. I THINK IT MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE. DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE? GUEST: I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT IT THE OTHER DAY WHEN BASICALLY RECENTLY A LOT OF THE RESEARCH HAS BEEN PUT TOGETHER SHOWING THAT ACUPUNCTURE, AND HERBAL MEDICINE CAN FACILITATE ALL OF THE WESTERN TREATMENTS SO USUALLY IT'S ACTUALLY BENEFICIAL TO DO THEM BOTH TOGETHER. AS THE ACUPUNCTURE, AND THE HERBAL MEDICINE CAN MINIMIZE A LOT OF THE THERAPIES. JANET: DOES IT MAKE THE TREATMENTS MORE TOLERABLE FOR THE PATIENT? GUEST: YES. IN MOST CASES AND IT'S BEEN DOCUMENTED IN ENOUGH CASES IT IS SIGNIFICANT THAT MOST PEOPLE WILL FEEL THE RELIEF FROM THE SIDE EFFECTS. JANET: BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WELL, MY DAD HAD THESE REAL GRUMPY DAYS. AFTER HE STARTED THE ACUPUNCTURE IT SEEMS HE WAS A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE. BECAUSE I WAS WITH HIM WHEN HE DIED. TO ME HE DIDN'T SEEM TO SUFFER AT ALL. WHICH FOR WHAT I KNOW FROM CANCER THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAPPEN. GUEST: NO, THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. ESPECIALLY THE TYPE OF CANCER THAT HE HAD IT COULD CAUSE A LOT OF PAIN, AND BUT YOUR DAD ACTUALLY WAS VERY JOVIAL. MORE TALKATIVE THAN BEFORE WE STARTED TREATMENT. JANET: YEAH. HE DID. SO IS THIS CONSISTENT WITH SOMETHING THAT YOU MIGHT KNOW ABOUT, RAY. GUEST: ABSOLUTELY. LAST WEEK I WAS IN WASHINGTON D.C. AT THE MESIO SYMPOSIUM. WE HAD A PRESENTATION ON THE EFFECTS OF ACUPUNCTURE AND THE DOCUMENTATION THAT THE ACUPUNCTURE MAY ACTUALLY RELIEVE THE SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH CANCER TREATMENT SUCH AS DRY MOUTH, AND PAIN AND NAUSEA VOMITING, AND ACUPUNCTURE IS VERY BENEFICIAL FOR THOSE WHO'RE SUFFERING FROM CANCER AND ACTIVELY SEEKING TREATMENT. JANET: WOW. WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THINGS THAT WE NEED TO LOOK OUT FOR BECAUSE I THINK FOR MY AUDIENCE THIS IS NEW INFORMATION FOR SOME OF THEM. WHAT SHOULD THEY DO? ARE THERE TESTS THAT THEY CAN TAKE? WHAT KIND OF CONVERSATIONS SHOULD THEY HAVE WITH THE DOCTOR IF THEY MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED? GUEST: IF YOU'RE A VETERAN, AND YOU EXPERIENCE ANY BREATHING DIFFICULTY AT ALL OR STARTING TO NOTICE SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND REMEMBER YOU SERVED ON ANY SORT OF SHIP IN THE MILITARY, OR IF YOU WORKED, FOR INSTANCE, ON A FIRE CREW IN THE MILITARY, IF YOU WERE INVOLVED IN CONSTRUCTION IN THE MILITARY, YOU REALLY NEED TO GO IN TO THE VETERAN'S ADMINISTRATION HOSPITAL AND SHARE THAT WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN AND TELL THEM YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT EXPOSURE TO ASBESTOS AND ASK THEM FOR A CHEST X RAY OR A CT, SPIRAL CT SCAN TO SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY PLEURA THICKENING OR SPOTTING ON YOUR BONES. OUR FIRM ACTUALLY SPECIALIZES IN THIS AREA. I CAN GIVE YOU OUR NUMBER. JANET: PLEASE. GUEST: I WORK AT THE ASBESTOS LEGAL ORGANIZATION. IT'S 1 800 970 DUST. IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. THE ONE THING I WANT TO LET VETERANS KNOW WHO HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO ASBESTOS, THERE ARE LITERALLY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SET ASIDE IN AN ASBESTOS TRUST THAT'S COMPENSATION FOR THOSE WHO MAY BE SUFFERING FROM THESE DISEASES. IF YOU HAVE THESE DISEASES WE CAN GO AHEAD AND APPLY TO THOSE TRUSTS AND GET YOU MONEY FOR YOUR MEDICAL CARE AND FOR YOUR FAMILY SO THAT IF YOU'RE LEAVING SOMEBODY BEHIND THEY'D BE TAKEN CARE OF. 1 800 970 DUST. I JUST WANT PEOPLE OUT THERE IF THEY'RE EXPERIENCING THESE SYMPTOMS TO KNOW THEY'RE NOT ALONE AND THEY DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID. JANET: OKAY. I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PRESENT THIS INFORMATION BECAUSE AS I TALK TO DIFFERENT VETERANS AND THEY HAVE THINGS THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY IDEA THIS WAS AN IDEA UNTIL I BROUGHT IT UP. SO HOW IS THIS INFORMATION BEING DISSEMINATED ON OTHER THAN SHOWS LIKE MINE. GUEST: YOU KNOW, REALLY I GO OUT TO DIFFERENT VETERANS GROUPS. THERE ARE A LOT OF GREAT GROUPS OUT THERE. I WORK WITH THE AMERICAN COMBATS OF WAR, I WORK WITH THE VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS. AND IT'S REALLY VETERANS GROUPS, IF YOU'RE A VETERAN I REALLY URGE YOU TO GO AHEAD AND CONTACT ME. I'M HAPPY TO COME AND SPEAK TO YOUR GROUP. THIS IS INFORMATION ALSO ON THE VA WEBSITE. THERE IS AN ACTIVE EFFORT TO TRY TO GET THIS INFORMATION OUT. PEOPLE LIKE YOU, JANET, ALLOWS US TO REACH A BROAD GROUP OF PEOPLE. AND THE THING ABUT IS THAT ASBESTOS DOESN'T JUST CAUSE THIS INCURABLE CANCER MESOTHELIOMA, BUT THE LARGE NUMBER OF CANCERS ARE LUNG CANCERS, AND WITH LUNG CANCER THE EARLIER THAT YOU CAN GET IN AND INTERVENE AND START TREATMENT THE BETTER THE SURVIVAL RATES. SO WE'RE TRYING TO CATCH PEOPLE WITH LUNG CANCER AT STAGE 1 AND STAGE 2 SO THEY CAN BE CURED. JANET: I'M GOING TO HAVE OUR MUSICAL GENIUSES WE HAPPEN TO HAVE HERE TO KIND OF DO SOMETHING OFF THE CUFF HERE. WE'VE GOT ONE GUY MISSING. WE HAVE GOT TWO, ROBERT SMITH AND OTIS ALBERT. GUEST: ALL RIGHT. YES. RIGHT ON. LET'S SEE. [MUSIC]. JANET: ALL RIGHT. IT TOOK A BIT OF A BREAK THERE. SO RAY, TELL ME SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE CAN DO TO GET THIS MESSAGE OUT OR IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU THINK MY AUDIENCE SHOULD KNOW? WE'VE GOT ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LEFT. GUEST: CERTAINLY. I ALWAYS LIKE TO TELL PEOPLE EVEN IF WE'RE DOING A VETERANS SHOW THERE ARE OTHER EXPOSURES TO ASBESTOS THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF. IF YOU HAVE A POPCORN CEILING IN IT PLEASE DON'T TRY TO REMOVE THAT POPCORN CEILING BY YOURSELF. MORE THAN LIKELY THERE'S ASBESTOS IN THE POPCORN CEILING. IT'S A VERY NASTY ASBESTOS THAT'S VERY CARCINOGENIC. THERE'S AN ASBESTOS CONTAINED IN DRYWALL MATERIAL OF HOMES THAT ARE BUILT USUALLY BETWEEN 1977, BEFORE 1977. THERE'S ASBESTOS CEMENT PIPE. THERE'S ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF ASBESTOS THAT CAN BE FOUND IN OLDER HOMES. JANET: THEY TELL ME I'VE GOT FOUR STAIR HEATING. THEY TELL ME THERE'S ASBESTOS IN THAT. GUEST: THERE'S ASBESTOS IN THE DUCT TAPE EVEN TODAY EVEN AS PRODUCED TODAY MAY CONTAIN ASBESTOS. JANET: WHAT? GUEST: ASBESTOS ONE OF THE THINGS IS THAT ASBESTOS HAS NOT BEEN BANNED IN THE UNITED STATES. JANET: WOW. GUEST: THE USE OF ASBESTOS IS COMPLETELY REGULATED BY LITIGATION BY LAWYERS LIKE ME OUT THERE TELLING COMPANIES YOU SHOULDN'T BE USING THIS PRODUCT. THERE ARE A FEW PRODUCTS WHERE THE GOVERNMENT HAS SAID YOU CAN'T USE IT BUT THE FAR MAJORITY OF PRODUCTS SUCH AS BRAKE LININGS ASBESTOS CAN STILL BE USED. CLUTCHES ASBESTOS CAN BE USED, AND ARE BEING USED. JANET: OH MY GOODNESS. GUEST: THE THING THAT'S QUITE CONCERNING TO ME WITH THE NUMBER OF PRODUCTS THAT ARE BEING MANUFACTURED TODAY IN CHINA AND COMING OVER TO UNITED STATES THERE'S NO ASBESTOS BAN IN CHINA AS WELL. WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN THE UNITED STATES THOSE PRODUCTS CAN COME INTO THE UNITED STATES. SO IT'S QUITE CONCERNING ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE EASE OF ACCESS TO THE CHINESE LITIGATION SYSTEM WE DO IN THE UNITED STATES, AND ANY LAWSUIT YOU BRING IN CHINA CAN TAKE 10 YEARS BEFORE IT'S COMPLETED. SO IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR A PERSON LIVING WITH MESOTHELIOMA TO BRING A LAWSUIT. THEY'LL BE MORE THAN LIKELY GONE PRIOR TO THE LAWSUIT COMING TO AN END RESULT. JANET: THAT'S TERRIBLE. GUEST: RECENTLY THE ASBESTOS AWARENESS GROUP FOUND ASBESTOS IN A CHILDREN'S FINGERPRINTING KIT. IF THEY WANT TO TAKE TIME TO SEND AN E MAIL TO THEIR FEDERAL CONGRESSMAN OR SENATORS AND SAY WE WOULD SUPPORT A BAN OF ASBESTOS. JANET: THAT'S A VERY GOOD IDEA. THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN ALL DO. I THINK THAT'S A VERY, VERY GOOD IDEA, AND I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS THAT BAD. IT WAS THAT OUT THERE, PERVASIVE INTO SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS. WELL, I'M GOING TO SINCE WE HAVE ALL THREE MEMBERS OF OUTTA SIGHT HERE NOW I'M WONDERING IF YOU GUYS WOULD DO THE NATIONAL ANTHEM FOR US SINCE WE DIDN'T GET TO DO IT EARLIER. GUEST: SURE. JANET: BEFORE YOU START RAUL IS GIVING YOU HIS MICROPHONE ROBERT. ELI, RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. HERE WE GO, GUYS. GUEST: BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. THIS IS TO ALL OF THE AMERICANS. I HOPE YOU ENJOY OUR VERSION OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.

HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY. JANET: I THINK IT'S TOO EARLY. I DIDN'T GET A TICKET AND I DIDN'T BUMP MY HEAD SO I THINK IT WOULD BE OKAY. I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE RICHARD RAY FROM THE DEPARTMENT ON DISABILITY. GUEST: HELLO. HOW ARE YOU DOING. JANET: I WANT TO EXPLAIN. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. RICHARD HAS BEEN FOR MANY, MANY YEARS THE DEAF SERVICES COORDINATOR FOR THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES AND WHEN I WAS PUTTING THIS SHOW TOGETHER ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO DO WAS MAKE SURE IT WAS ACCESSIBLE TO RICHARD SO HE WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED COMMUNITY TO EVERYBODY SO THANK YOU, RICHARD, FOR COMING, AND SEE THIS WAS WHY I WAS GIGGLING BECAUSE RICHARD REACTS TO EVERYTHING I SAY.

AND RICHARD RAY, I INTRODUCE YOU TO RAY MUELLER. GUEST: NICE TO MEET YOU RAY. JANET: WHY DON'T YOU START WITH FOLLOWING THROUGH ON SOME OF THE THINGS WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE ASBESTOS STUFF SINCE TODAY WE HAVE A CITY REPRESENTATIVE, AND I THINK SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW ABOUT ASBESTOS MAY BE INTERESTING TO THE DEPARTMENT ON DISABILITY AS FAR AS CITY EMPLOYEES. GUEST: OKAY. WELL, JUST TO START OFF I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF TO THE AUDIENCE. MY NAME IS RAY MUELLER. I'M A LAWYER AT THE ASBESTOS LEGAL CENTER. AND TYPICALLY AT ASBESTOS LEGAL CENTER WE REPRESENT PEOPLE WHO'RE SUFFERING FROM MESOTHELIOMA, FROM LUNG CANCER AND OTHER ASBESTOS RELATED DISEASES. SO IF THERE'S SOMEONE OUT THERE LISTENING RIGHT NOW THAT NEEDS HELP OR NEEDS REPRESENTATION AT THE OUTSET I WANT THEM TO CALL US AT 1 800 970 DUST. JANET: THEY SHOULDN'T BE INTIMIDATED BY THE PROCESS. GUEST: NOT AT ALL. THERE'S MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WAITING IN TRUST FOR PEOPLE WITH MESOTHELIOMA. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE. IT'S NOT HOPELESS. YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO WILL FIGHT FOR YOU, AND REPRESENT YOU. AND WHO WILL TRY TO GET COMPENSATION FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. THAT'S SOMETHING WE DO EVERY DAY AND WE'RE PROUD TO DO IT. I'M CURIOUS IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME. I'VE BEEN ON YOUR SHOW A NUMBER OF TIMES NOW. IF THERE ARE ANY LISTENERS OUT THERE WHO HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ME. WHAT I'D ASK IS THAT YOU E MAIL JANET OR CONTACT HER. I WOULD LIKE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT THE LISTENERS MAY HAVE ABOUT ASBESTOS OR ANOTHER PRODUCT THAT THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT. I'M A PRODUCT LIABILITY ATTORNEY. I REPRESENT PEOPLE WHO'RE SUING COMPANIES WHO HAVE HARMED THEM, AND I'M HAPPY TO BE THERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ANYONE MIGHT HAVE. JANET: WELL, I HAD A PERSON ASK A QUESTION. THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSING INFORMATION I'LL SAY ABOUT BREAST IMPLANTS. SILICONE, SALINE, THEY TOOK THEM OFF THE MARKET. THEY BROUGHT THEM BACK. IS THERE CAN YOU ADDRESS ANY OF THAT? IS IT SAFE. I HAVE ANOTHER FRIEND, THIS IS TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND THEY HAD THE SILICONE ONES AND THEY ALL GOT SICK. IS THERE ANY KIND OF ACTION ABOUT THAT THAT YOU KNOW OF? GUEST: CERTAINLY THERE HAVE BEEN LAWSUITS WITH RESPECT TO BREAST IMPLANTS. WHAT WOULD BE GOOD THERE'S A NUMBER OF IMPLANTS THAT BASICALLY WERE FAILING. THAT WERE RELEASING THE MATERIAL INTO THE PERSON'S BODY, AND THAT WERE CAUSING HARM TO THEM. SINCE THAT TIME THEY'VE CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE IMPLANTS BUT SPECIFICALLY WITH RESPECT TO SILICONE BREAST IMPLANTS, SILICONE GEL IMPLANTS THERE WERE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS THAT WERE FILED. THAT WAS TAKING PLACE. THERE WERE OVER 100,000 WOMEN THAT RECEIVED AN AWARD AS A RESULT OF THE LAW SUIT. THAT SETTLEMENT PERMANENTLY CLOSED ON DECEMBER 15TH, 2010. BUT IF YOU ARE A PERSON WHO HAS BREAST IMPLANTS. IF YOU ARE A PERSON HAS ANY PRODUCT THAT'S BEEN PLACED INTO YOUR BODY THAT'S MAKING YOU SICK THERE'S A DESIGN DEFECT. IT MEANS THAT THE PRODUCT WAS DESIGNED NEGLIGENTLY IN A WAY THAT IT HARMS YOU. OR A DEFECT IF THEY'RE USING A SUBSTANCE THAT CAN HURT YOU. THEY SHOULD HAVE KNEW OR KNOWN. IF THAT'S THE CASE HE DESIGNED IT BAD. YOU DESIGNED IT NEGLIGENTLY. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT. OR YOU DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GOING TO HURT PEOPLE OR YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE RESEARCH BEFORE YOU PUT THE PRODUCT ON THE MARKET. THERE'S A SEPARATE LAWSUIT. AND PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE WITH MEDICAL DEVICES SUCH AS BREAST IMPLANTS, THAT'S THAT TYPE OF LAWSUIT REGARDING A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. WHAT IT SAYS EVEN THOUGH YOU MADE THIS PRODUCT THAT ON PAPER LOOKS GOOD, YOU MANUFACTURED IT TERRIBLY. AND WHEN IT ACTUALLY GETS PUT INSIDE A PERSON'S BODY IT BREAKS DOWN IN A MANNER THAT IT SHOULDN'T, AND IT'S HARMING PEOPLE. IF YOU'RE A PERSON OUT THERE WHO'S HAD ANYTHING DONE TO THEM MEDICALLY, AND YOU THINK YOU ARE SICK, AND YOU THINK THAT DEVICE IS CAUSING IT, YOU NEED TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY, AND YOU NEED TO CONTACT A DOCTOR. THE ONLY WAY THAT THE LAWSUITS START IS BY SOMEONE COMING FORWARD AND SAYING I HAVE A PROBLEM. THE MORE PEOPLE THAT COME FORWARD, AND THOSE COMPLAINTS WILL GET TRACKED BY THE GOVERNMENT. WE NEED TO SPEND THE MONEY TO INVESTIGATE THIS CLAIM TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. JANET: I THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU NEXT TIME. I THINK I GOT ONE FOR YOU. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT FOR THE NEXT TIME. I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A LONG ONE. I WANT TO TURN IT OVER TO RICHARD. YOU HAVE SOMETHING SPECIFIC YOU WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IT. GUEST: YES, I DID. I HAVE SOMETHING SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO OUR DEAFESTIVAL. IT'S OUR DEAFESTIVAL WHICH IS ALSO SPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBER TONY CĂRDENAS. WE'VE BEEN DOING IT ANNUALLY OUR DEAFESTIVAL, AND OUR NEXT ONE IS GOING TO BE THIS SEPTEMBER, SEPTEMBER 24TH. IT'S A SATURDAY. IT'S OUR 8TH YEAR DOING IT. WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS EVENT. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FOUR DIFFERENT FEATURES GOING ON. FIRST OFF WE HAVE AN ART COMPETITION WHICH IS A TRAVELLING ART COMPETITION. WE WILL BRING ARTISTS FROM ALL OVER TO DISPLAY THEIR WORK. IT WILL BE POSTED AT THE AIRPORT. IT WILL BE AT THE BRIDGE GALLERY. THAT WAY WE CAN SHOWCASE ALL OF THEIR TALENTS. WE ALSO HAVE DEAF GOT TALENT WHICH IS OUR TALENT SHOW. IT FOCUSES ON THE AMAZING QUALITIES AND SKILLS THAT DEAF PEOPLE HAVE INHERENT IN THEM, AND WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE YOUTH. AND TO SHOWCASE THEIR ABILITIES TO COMMUNICATE AND THAT COMMUNICATION IS NOT A BARRIER. WE WANT TO INSURE THERE'S NO MORE BULLYING, THAT THERE ARE NO MORE THINGS IN THE WORLD SUCH AS SEXTING. THAT THEY WERE AND THEY'VE GOT TALENTS INHERENT IN THEM, AND WE WANT TO NURTURE THAT WITHIN THEM. A THIRD EVENT WE HAVE GOING ON IS OUR FASHION SHOW. ALL OF OUR MODELS ARE DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING. AND WE HAVE A CATWALK THAT WILL BE SET UP, AND THEY'LL BE ABLE TO WALK DOWN THE CATWALK, AND THE DEAF COMMUNITY WILL BE ABLE TO SEE PEOPLE WHO THEY KNOW DRESSED UP TO THE 9S. COMPLETELY DONE UP, AND LOOKING GORGEOUS. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE THAT AS OUR THIRD EVENT. AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE WHO'RE THE DESIGNERS ARE ALSO DEAF FOR THIS FASHION SHOW. JANET: THAT MAKES IT REALLY, REALLY NICE. GUEST: IT'S A GREAT SHOW. IT REALLY IS. IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO SEE NOT ONLY ARE THE ARTISTS WHO CREATE THESE WONDERFUL GARMENTS ARE MADE BY THE DEAF BUT THE ONES SHOWCASING THEM ON THE CATWALK ARE DEAF. JANET: THAT'S FULL CIRCLE. I LIKE THAT. GUEST: WE DO TOO. WE SPONSOR AMAZINGLY THIS EVENT BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE KEEP IT FREE, AND WE KEEP IT OPEN AND AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY. WE ASK FOR VOLUNTEERS TO ENCOURAGE HELPING OUT WITH SETTING UP, AND CLEANING UP, AND JUST MANNING ALL OF THE DIFFERENT STATIONS. WE WANT TO MAKE IT AS EFFECTIVE AS POSSIBLE FOR THE DEAF COMMUNITY TO FEEL THERE ARE NO BARRIERS TO BE ABLE TO COME AND CELEBRATE THEIR DEAFNESS. WE HAVE A WONDERFUL DIRECTOR REBECCA VELASQUEZ. AND WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT HER HONESTLY. I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF THE INFORMATION GOING OUT AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DEAF PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO IT. OUR WEBSITE IS WWW.DEAFESTIVALLA.ORG. LET ME DO THAT AGAIN. WWW.DEAFESTIVALLA.ORG. ON THAT WEBSITE YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT EVENTS. HOW YOU CAN POSSIBLY BE INVOLVED WHETHER IT BE VOLUNTEERING OR BEING ONE OF THE COMPETITORS OR ONE OF THE EXHIBITORS. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR HEARING STATUS IS WE WANT EVERYBODY TO BE INVOLVED. WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR DISABILITY STATUS. THIS IS A GREAT PLACE FOR ALL OF US TO CELEBRATE ALL OF OUR DIFFERENCES, AND SHARE. WE WANT TO HAVE A GREAT SOCIALIZATION TIME, AND NETWORK, AND SHOWS THE ARTWORK. IT'S ALL AMAZING. JANET: EXCELLENT. I LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THIS INFORMATION OUT THERE BECAUSE YOU AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE I JUST BROUGHT UP EARLIER I ASKED IF YOU REMEMBER GOING TO PROM DESERT. THAT WAS LIKE 1980 SOMETHING. GUEST: GOSH DO WE NEED TO TELL EVERYBODY WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER. JANET: YEAH. I THINK IT SHOWS OUR COMMITMENT TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. GUEST: I AGREE. JANET: I THINK WE HAVE LEARNED FROM EACH OTHER, AND SHARED LOTS OF INFORMATION TO MAKE THINGS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYBODY. LIKE I SAID EARLIER I THINK THAT THEY NEED TO MAKE THE PYRAMID STEPS WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE. IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT THEY SHOULD CLOSE IT. THAT'S WHAT I THINK. I THINK IT'S EVERYBODY OR NOBODY. GUEST: EXACTLY. IT'S REALLY NICE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH YOU. IT HAS BEEN OVER THE YEARS. I HAVE SEEN SO MUCH PROGRESS IN THE CITY, AND WE HAVE A LOT MORE WORK TO DO BUT WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY. SO I APPLAUD YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR EFFORTS. YOU'RE A GREAT SHOWMAN. JANET: WELL, THAT PART I'LL TAKE. IT WAS SOME OF THE EXAMPLES THAT WAS SET FOR US AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE OF THE HONORABLE TOM BRADLEY. GUEST: EXACTLY. JANET: HE KIND OF SET THE PACE FOR THIS. HE RECOGNIZED THE NEED AND HE GAVE US MR. ELKINS TO SHEPARD IT ALL THROUGH. WE DID HAVE SOME DIFFERENCES EVERY NOW, AND THEN. EVERYBODY DOES. I THINK THAT TAUGHT US HOW TO WORK WITH PEOPLE THAT YOU DON'T AGREE WITH OR DON'T AGREE WITH YOU OR THAT ARE DIFFERENT TO TRY AND FIND OUT WHERE YOU DO AGREE AS OPPOSED TO GETTING STUCK WHERE YOU DON'T AGREE. GUEST: EXACTLY. YOU KNOW, AND IT IS SO HEALTHY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO AGREE TO DISAGREE ON CERTAIN TOPICS. WE ARE HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT EACH OTHER. TO LEARN WHAT DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES WE HAVE ON THINGS. THAT'S FINE. THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE WORLD WORK. IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT IT WOULD BE ONE BORING THING. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY I AGREE TO DISAGREE. HOW CAN WE WORK TOGETHER. HOW CAN WE LIVE TOGETHER. JANET: THAT'S HOW I LEARN. IF YOU SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY FROM ME. ME AND JANET, I'M GOING TO LISTEN TO WHAT IT IS, AND THEN MAYBE THERE'S SOMEWMAY I CAN INCORPORATE THAT INTO A PART OF WELL, IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE ON THIS PART BUT YOU HAVE AN ISSUE IT'S VERY EASY TO INCLUDE THAT. AND I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND I THINK WE'RE SEEING THIS IN WASHINGTON WHERE IT'S JUST ABOUT IT'S ME, I, I WANT TO WIN. IT'S NOT ABOUT US. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE. AND IT SHOULD BE. I THINK RATHER THAN NICKEL AND DIMING THE SSI PEOPLE TO EVERY SIX MONTHS THEY TAKE $5 OR $10 OFF THEIR CHECK. THEY'RE MILLIONAIRES SO IT DOESN'T AFFECT THEM. I THINK IF THEY INCLUDED US IN TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN THAT STUFF OUT WE COULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING. GUEST: JANET, I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT YOU. THE WHEELCHAIRS IT REMIND THAT YOU MIGHT BOTH BE INTERESTED TO KNOW EARLIER THAT I WAS AND THAT THERE IS A PRODUCT RIGHT NOW THAT'S EFFECTING PEOPLE WHO WHO HAVE HAD HIP REPLACEMENTS. AND DIFFICULTY WALKING.BODY, AND DEPOSITS METAL FRAGMENTS. I DIDN'T WANT THIS MOMENT TO PASS SINCE WE HAVE PEOPLE LISTENING WHO RESPECT YOU BOTH. THEY KNOW THIS IS OUT THERE, AN JANET: THAT'S WHY I'M GLAD YOU'RE WITH US TO PUT THAT INFORMATION OUT THERE. BECAUSE TO ME THAT'S WHAT IT IS I'M TRYING IS GET THE INFORMATION TO THE PEOPLE THAT NEED TO HAVE IT. THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT THING. WE KNOW SOMEBODY THAT'S HAD HIP REPLACEMENTS. GUEST: TWICE ACTUALLY. JANET: I HAVE THE EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME, IT'S HIP REPLACEMENT. KNEE REPLACEMENT. SHOULDER REPLACEMENT. ELBOWS. FINGERS. KNEES. TOES. ALL OF THIS STUFF. GUEST: IF THERE'S SOMEONE OUT WITH A HIP REPLACEMENT IT'S SPECIFICALLY THIS TYPE OF HIP REPLACEMENT THEY NEED TO CALL US. WHAT WE CAN DO WE CAN HELP THEM GET THAT CLAIM FILED. THEY HAVE MONEY TO GET THE NEW PROPER HIP REPLACEMENT BEFORE THE ONE THAT'S IN THERE THAT'S DEFECTIVE BREAKS APART, AND CAUSING THEM PROBLEM. THE THING WE'RE TRYING TO DO RIGHT NOW IS GET THE INFORMATION OUT RIGHT NOW. WE NEED TO GET THE HIP REPLACEMENTS OUT BEFORE THEY FAIL. ONCE THEY FAIL IT'S CATASTROPHIC INJURY. JANET: ED WHICH IS THE WEBSITE FOR THE EHLERS DANLOS NATIONAL FOUNDATION. THEY SHOULD BE INTERESTED IN THIS INFORMATION. GUEST: OKAY. IF THERE'S SOMEONE THAT NEED TO CONTACT US. 1 800 970 3878. JANET: OKAY. WE'VE GOT 3 MINUTES LEFT. SO I WANT TO MENTION FIRST OF ALL THE COMMISSION ON DISABILITIES ANNUAL LUNCHEON OCTOBER THE 17TH. PLEASE CHECK IT OUT. LACCOD.ORG. GUEST: OUR DATES FOR DEAFESTIVAL SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 24TH AT WOODLY PARK AND IT STARTS AT NOON UNTIL THE WAY UNTIL 6 IN THE EVENING. THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF EXCITING THINGS GOING ON THAT DAY. I REALLY HOPE EVERYBODY OUT THERE WHO'S LISTENING, AND WATCHING THE CAPTIONING DEAF, HEARING. PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, AND PEOPLE WITHOUT DISABILITIES CAN JOIN US. OUR WEBSITE IS WWW.DEAFESTIVALLA.ORG. JANET: I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU COME BACK AGAIN. I THINK PEOPLE DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE A GOOD CLEAR COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN HEARING PERSON AND A PERSON THAT CAN'T HEAR OR HAS HEARING ISSUES. WE DISCUSSED ETIQUETTE, AND I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW IN ORDER TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY WHAT THE ETIQUETTE IS. THAT'S THE THEME SONG. THAT MEANS WE'RE OUT OF TIME. SANDY. THANK YOU. GUEST: WELCOME. RICHARD IT'S SO GREAT TO HEAR YOU ON THE RADIO. WE WILL BE CAPTIONING THE DEAFESTIVAL FROM TOTAL RECALL. AND RAY, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GUEST: MY PLEASURE AS ALWAYS.

WHEN WE HAVE JANET'S PLANET L.A.. I WANT TO GO TO LOG ON FIRST.
UNFORTUNATELY SANDY IS A LITTLE UNDER THE WEATHER. I'M GOING TO SEE IF I
CAN DO THIS CORRECTLY. FOR THOSE THAT WANT TO GO TO THE INTERNET TO CHECK
OUT HERE FOR THE LIVE STREAM TEXT FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED.
IT IS HTTP://WWW.STREAMTEXT.NET/TEXT.ASPX?EVENT=JANETSPLANET.
I'LL DO THAT AGAIN. HTTP://WWW.STREAMTEXT.NET/TEXT.ASPX?EVENT=JANETSPLANET
AND THE NEXT THING I WANT IS TO DO TO THANK OUR SPONSORS WHICH IS TOTAL
RECALL AND YOU CAN REACH TOTAL RECALL AT INFO@YOURCAPTIONER.COM AND RAUL
RAMIREZ WITH NEIJING EASTERN MEDICINE. TOTAL RECALL DOES A LOT OF
CAPTIONING. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN CAPTIONING YOU CAN REACH THEM AT THAT E
MAIL ADDRESS. RAUL RAMIREZ IS A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN. I WANT TO THANK
THEM FOR SPONSORING THE CAPTIONING OF THIS SHOW. SINCE THIS IS JANET'S
PLANET L.A. WHICH IS MOSTLY MY OPINION, THE THING I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS
DEDICATE THIS SHOW TO SOME OF MY FRIENDS WHO HAD EHLERS DANLOS BECAUSE
THAT'S KIND OF SOMETHING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT TODAY. THAT ONE OF MY
DISABILITIES. I CONSIDER IT TO BE MY PRIMARY DISABILITY EVEN THOUGH THE
DOCTORS CONSIDER MY HIV TO BE PRIMARY. I DON'T. I HAVE MORE TROUBLE WITH
THE EHLERS DANLOS THAN I DO WITH THE HIV. I WOULD LIKE TO DEDICATE WITH
NANCY RANGOWSKI. WHO IS THE FOUNDER OF THE EHLERS DANLOS NATIONAL
FOUNDATION. I WOULD LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS TO SHERRY GAMSON WHO WAS THE
FOUNDER OF THE SAN FERNANDO BRANCH OF THE EHLERS DANLOS FOUNDATION, AND TO
MY FRIEND TERRY CRUZ. AND NANCY AND TERRY BOTH DIED FROM EHLERS DANLOS.
THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION IS EDNF.ORG. AND THE SAN FERNANDO BRANCH IS
SFVBRANCH@GMAIL.COM.
EHLERS DANLOS IS A CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISEASE. AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT ODD.
I'M LOOKING AT SOME OF THE BROCHURES. THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PRINTED
INFORMATION BUT ON YOUR JOINT WELL, I'M GOING TO START HERE WITH
SYMPTOMS. PEOPLE WITH THE EDS WILL HAVE SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS RANGING FROM
MILD TO SEVERE. JOINT AND SKIN ISSUES ARE MORE COMMON WITH HYPERMOBILITY,
AND CLASSICAL EDS RESPECTIVELY. I HAVE THE HYPERMOBILE TYPE. SOME SYMPTOMS
DO DEVELOP BETWEEN TYPES WHICH IS WHY IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE.
JOINTS, CHRONIC PAIN OFTEN WITH NORMAL X RAYS. LOOSE FLEXIBLE OR UNSTABLE
JOINTS, JOINTS MAY MOVE OUT OF PLACE OR DISLOCATE. EARLY ONSET
OSTEOARTHRITIS. SKIN, FRAGILE SKIN, CUTS EASILY OFTEN NEEDING STITCHES,
SEVERE TEARS MAY REQUIRE PLASTIC SURGERY. POOR WOUND HEELING. STRETCHY
SKINS OF VARYING DEGREES. SOFT OR VELVETY SKIN.
VASCULAR TYPE. INTESTINAL, UTERINE OR INTERNAL ORGAN RUPTURE. SEVERE
BRUISING. THIN TRANSLUCENT SKIN. PATTERN OF BLUE VEINS IS ESPECIALLY
VISIBLE ON THE CHEST, BELLY AND BACK. I HAVE THEM ON MY ARMS. MANY HAVE
CERTAIN FACIAL FEATURES, LARGE EYES, THIN NOSE, THIN LIPS. LOBELESS EARS,
AND SMALL CHIN. I HAVE A SMALL CHIN. OTHER SYMPTOMS. CHRONIC FATIGUE.
IBS GASTRITIS. AUONOMIC DYSFUNCTION. LOW BLOOD PRESSURE OR FAST HEART RATE
ESPECIALLY UPON STANDING. MITROVALVE PROLAPSE. THAT ONE IS PRETTY
DANGEROUS. DENTAL CROWDING OR TMJ DYSFUNCTION. EARLY BONE THINNING, AND
OSTEOPOROSIS.
AVOID ACTIVITIES THAT CAUSE JOINTS TO BE OVEREXTENDED ARE. AND GENTLE
MUSCLE STRENGTHENING. PHYSICIANS MAY PRESCRIBE BRACING TO STABILIZE JOINTS.
ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY IS OFTEN LESS SUCCESSFUL FOR EDS PATIENTS. DIAGNOSIS IS
BASED ON SYSTEMS AS WELL AS THAT OF YOUR JOINTS AND SKIN. AND YOU MAY BE
REFERRED TO A GENETICIST OR FOR FURTHER EXAMINATION. HYPERMOBILITY OR
CLASSICAL TYPES OF EDS ARE DIAGNOSED BY COMPARING YOUR SYMPTOMS AND HISTORY
WITH ESTABLISHED DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA.
IF YOU HAVE THE VASCULAR TYPE OF EDS YOUR DOCTOR MAY ORDER GENETIC TESTING
FOR SPECIFIC TYPES. ALL OF THIS SOUNDS REALLY, REALLY AWFUL. BUT THE
REASON I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, I HAVE IT, AND I THINK I DO PRETTY WELL, AND
HERE IT'S TALKING ABOUT BEING VERY CAREFUL. BUT YOU GUYS KNOW THAT I GO TO
THE GYM. YOU KNOW I WORK OUT.
MANY OF THE PEOPLE THAT I KNOW HAVE HAD A LOT OF SURGERIES TO REPLACE THEIR
JOINTS BECAUSE THEY BECOME LOOSE AND THEY DISLOCATE. BUT THE SURGERY REALLY
DOESN'T WORK. I THINK WHAT I DID IS MUCH BETTER. GOING TO THE GYM AND
STRENGTHENING THE MUSCLES. A DOCTOR TOLD ME WHEN I WAS DIAGNOSED THAT I
SHOULD DO RIGOROUS EXERCISE AND I SHOULD MAKE A CHOICE BETWEEN GETTING A
CABLE TV SUBSCRIPTION AND A ROCKING CHAIR OR PRETEND I WAS TRAINING FOR THE
OLYMPICS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. I'VE DECIDED ON THE TRAINING. WHAT IT
HAS DONE IT HAS KEPT ME FROM THE SURGERY. I STILL HAVE A SPLINT I WEAR ON
MY JAW. I SPLINT MY HAND SOMETIMES. FOR THIS PARTICULAR DISEASE THE
SPLINTING SOMETIMES WILL MAKE THE JOINT WEAK IF YOU BECOME TOO DEPENDENT ON
IT. SO I CHOSE THE EXERCISE, AND I STARTED OFF IN THE WATER. I THINK MOST
PEOPLE THAT CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG, IF YOU START OFF IN THE WATER
WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF DANGER FROM FALLING OR THINGS HITTING YOU IT'S
PRETTY SAFE. I'M HAVING A LITTLE THROAT ISSUE HERE. BUT I JUST WANTED TO
MENTION THIS BECAUSE I'M FINDING MORE AND MORE PEOPLE WITH IT, AND I JUST
WANT THOSE OF YOU THAT MIGHT BE DIAGNOSED WITH THIS NOT TO BE AFRAID. DON'T
LET ALL OF THE THINGS THAT THE DOCTOR SAID SCARE YOU. YES, BE CAUTIOUS BUT
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID. I'M HERE, AND I THINK I'M DOING PRETTY WELL
WITH THIS. MY NIECES HAVE THIS. BOTH OF MY PARENTS HAVE IT. SOME OF MY
GRANDMOTHER'S SISTERS HAD IT TOO. I THINK ALSO KNOWING THAT THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG THAT YOU NEED TO BE CAUTIOUS WILL SEND YOU IN A DIRECTION OF
PREVENTION SO THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SAY ABOUT EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME
TODAY.
I DON'T HAVE AN AGENDA FROM THE CITY COMMISSION ON DISABILITY. I
DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING OVER THERE. THEY HAVEN'T HAD AN ELECTION.
THEY'VE GOT THE SAME PRESIDENT THEY'VE HAD FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS OR SO. I
DON'T HAVE THAT BUT I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT BETTY WILSON WHO HAS BEEN WITH
THE DEPARTMENT BEFORE THERE WAS A DEPARTMENT HAS RETIRED. WE'RE GOING TO
MISS BETTY AND SHE HAD A WONDERFUL SEND OFF LAST WEEK. WE GAVE HER THE
COUNTY COMMISSION GAVE HER A VERY NICE THANK YOU CERTIFICATE AND THE
DEPARTMENT GAVE HER A VERY NICE PARTY AND RECEPTION LAST THURSDAY, AND CITY
COUNCIL RECOGNIZED HER ON FRIDAY. SO I THINK THAT WAS A VERY GOOD THING.
I'M GOING TO BE SORRY TO SEE BETTY GO.
BUT I'M HOPING THAT BETTY WILL COME BACK AS A MEMBER OF THE CITY COMMISSION
ON DISABILITY AND I'M HOPING THAT BETTY WILL DECIDE THAT SHE CAN BE THE
PRESIDENT OF THAT COMMISSION BECAUSE I THINK IT WOULD REALLY, REALLY HELP.
OKAY. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE CULVER PALMS. WHY. THEY WERE ON A FEW
WEEKS AGO, AND I'D LIKE TO SAY EXCUSE ME, A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND I'M NOW A
MEMBER OF THE CULVER PALMS FAMILY YMCA AT 4500 SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD. IT IS A
FAMILY ORIENTED GYM. THEY HAVE A LOVELY ARRAY OF PROGRAMS, DANCE PROGRAMS,
EXERCISE PROGRAMS. THEY HAVE A VERY NICE SWIMMING POOL THAT IS ACCESSIBLE.
IT'S A TYPICAL Y LOCKER ROOM. BUT THE PEOPLE THERE ARE REALLY NICE. AND
THEY HAD A LADY NAMED TERRY, AND ANOTHER LADY NAMED GEVINA AND THEY WERE
VERY NICE. I THINK TERRY TEACHES SOME OF THE DANCE CLASSES FOR SOME OF THE
KIDS. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOME PLACE THAT'S FRIENDLY, CALL 310 390 3694
WHICH IS THE CULVER PALMS Y.
I WAS A MEMBER OF THE SPECTRUM CLUB. THEY CHOSE TO TERMINATE MY MEMBERSHIP.
IT'S MY OPINION THAT THEY DID THIS BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE TITLE 3 AMERICANS
WITH DISABILITIES ACT COMPLAINTS THAT I MADE. SO WE SHALL SEE ABOUT THAT.
THERE'S SEVERAL THINGS I HAD HOPED THEY WOULD CORRECT WHICH THEY DID NOT.
VERY SIMPLE THINGS LIKE MARKING THE BATHROOM WITH THE WHEELCHAIR ACCESS
SYMBOL. THE LOCKERS FOR MEMBERS THAT YOU CAN RENT ARE TOO HIGH FOR PEOPLE
WITH DISABILITIES ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE IN A WHEELCHAIR. THERE'S ANOTHER
ISSUE WITH ACCESS TO THE POOL. THEY HAVE SOME WEDDING CAKE STEPS THAT
GRADUATE IN DEPTH, AND THEY ARE ALL THE SAME HEIGHT. THEY HAVE A SINGLE
RAIL. THEY SHOULD HAVE A DOUBLE RAIL. THEY HAVE AN OLD FASHIONED SLING
TYPE WHEELCHAIR LIFT TO GET YOU IN THE POOL. I DON'T PERSONALLY LIKE IT.
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE ONLY PROBLEM THERE'S NEVER ANYBODY THAT
CAN OPERATE IT, AND AT ONE POINT THEY FELT THAT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
THAT WERE COMING OVER THERE NEEDED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WHICH IS NOT
ACCEPTABLE. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE ACCESS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. SO THAT'S
WHAT I WANTED TO SAY ABOUT THE SPECTRUM CLUB. AND I'M GOING TO MISS MY
FRIENDS OVER THERE BUT I'M NOT GOING TO MISS ANY OF THEIR BUREAUCRACY, AND
POOR TREATMENT THAT I RECEIVED. I THINK YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT FOR ALMOST A
YEAR THE PREVIOUS MANAGER WAS CALLING MY HOUSE, AND THREATENING ME, AND THIS
IS AGAIN BACK TO THE TITLE 3 COMPLAINTS THAT I WAS MAKING ON ACCESS.
MOVING ON I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE LUNCHEON THAT THE COMMISSION ON
DISABILITY IS HAVING AND ALSO THE ELECTION. THE COMMISSION HAD ELECTIONS,
AND LAST MONTH WE HAVE A NEW COMMISSION PRESIDENT. MR. JOHN TROUST. I WILL
BE THE SECOND VICE PRESIDENT, AND JOHN JAMES IS I'M THE FIRST VICE
PRESIDENT. AND JOHN JAMES IS THE SECOND VICE PRESIDENT AND KECIA WELLER IS
OUR NEW TREASURER. CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYBODY.
I ALSO WANT TO REMIND OF OUR LUNCHEON ON OCTOBER THE 17TH. IF YOU
WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE LUNCHEON, YOU CAN CALL OUR
OFFICE 213 974 1053. AND YOU CAN GET THE INFORMATION FROM RHONDA ABOUT THE
LUNCHEON. IT'S GOING TO BE AT THE KYOTO GRAND HOTEL. PROCEEDS FROM THE
LUNCHEON WILL BE GOING TO OUR SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS. WE HAD SOME WONDERFUL
KIDS I BROUGHT YOUR ATTENTION TO LAST MONTH I DIDN'T BRING THAT
INFORMATION. I'LL BRING THAT INFORMATION NEXT MONTH, AND MENTION THEIR
NAMES. THEY ALL HAD GOOD SUPPORT FROM THEIR FAMILIES. THE PROCEEDS FROM
THE LUNCHEON WILL GO TO FUND THE SCHOLARSHIP AND IT IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE. WE
HAVE OUTTA SIGHT THAT PERFORMS. AT THE RETIREMENT FOR BETTY WHITE I
CONNECTED WITH MR. LARRY COLVIN. I'M HOPING THAT LARRY WILL BECOME INVOLVED
WITH OUR LUNCHEON. I MET MS. BEA BYER.
SHE'S WITH THE HOLLYWOOD TIMES. I'M HOPING TO DO SOME THINGS WITH HER ALSO.
THE NEXT THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IS THE CAPTIONING. SINCE I WAS
TALKING ABOUT THE EMERGENCY THAT THEY HAD IN JAPAN, AND THAT A LOT OF THE
INFORMATION WAS ON THE SOCIAL NETWORKING I NOTICED A LOT OF THEIR
PROGRAMMING WAS CAPTIONED. UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T READ JAPANESE BUT IT WAS
AIMED AT PEOPLE THAT ARE HEARING IMPAIRED WHICH I WAS A GOOD THING. IT
CAUSED ME TO LOOK AT THE TELEVISION PROGRAMMING WE HAVE IN THE UNITED STATES
AND CAPTIONING. SO MY CONCERN IS THAT THE CAPTIONING HERE IS KIND OF
CRUMMY. I'D LIKE FOR SOME OF YOU MAYBE IF YOU HAVE THAT CAPABILITY ON YOUR
TELEVISION TO HAVE LEAVE THE AUDIO ON BUT PUT THE CAPTIONING ON TOO.
THERE IS A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN WHAT'S BEING PRINTED ON THE SCREEN, AND
WHAT'S BEING SAID. LOTS OF VERY STRANGE WORDS THERE THAT I CAN'T FIGURE
OUT. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY MAY BE MIXING TWITTER LANGUAGE WITH REGULAR
ENGLISH. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF STANDARD. BECAUSE IF WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE WHICH WE WILL HAVE EVENTUALLY SOME SORT OF A DISASTER, WE WANT
EVERYBODY TO KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT THEY NEED TO DO. SO IF THE INFORMATION IS
NOT CLEAR OR DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IT MEANS THAT THERE'S A SEGMENT OF THE
POPULATION THAT'S NOT GOING TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. I THINK THAT PROMOTES
PANIC. SO I'D LIKE FOR YOU GUYS TO CHECK THAT OUT, AND I'D BE INTERESTED
HEARING WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT. THIS IS FOR THE EMERGENCY
COMMUNICATION.
WE HAVE STARTED A BLOG TO TRY AND DISSEMINATE SOME INFORMATION. WE'RE
GOING TO TRY AT THIS POINT TO PUT THE INFORMATION FROM WELL, THE MINUTES
FROM NOT THE MINUTES, BACK ON THE COMMISSION MODE BUT THE TRANSCRIPTS
FROM THE RADIO SHOW AND THE BLOG IS JANETSPLANETLA.BLOGSPOT.COM. AND I'M
INTERESTED IN ANY OF YOUR IDEAS ON BEING PREPARED BECAUSE I'M GOING BACK TO
THE OLD GIRL SCOUT SLOGAN OF BEING PREPARED AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I
THOUGHT ABOUT WAS THE SOLAR LIGHTS THAT YOU CAN BUY AT BIG LOTS OR HOME
DEPOT, AND YOU CAN LEAVE THEM ON YOUR FRONT PORCH, AND WHEN THE POWER GOES
OUT THEN YOU BRING THEM IN THE HOUSE AND NOW YOU HAVE LIGHT. WHEN IT'S
DAYLIGHT AGAIN YOU PUT THEM ON THE FRONT PORCH SO THEY CAN CHARGE. ANOTHER
THING IS GOING TO BE FOOD. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS SUGGESTED IN SOME OF
THE READING THAT I'VE BEEN DOING IS BEEF JERKY BECAUSE IT KEEPS FOREVER.
YOU CAN JUST BUY SOME, PUT IT IN THE CABINET, AND KEEP IT UNTIL YOU NEED IT.
SOMETHING ELSE ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S SUMMERTIME YOU HAVE ALL THESE LITTLE
DISPOSAL BARBEQUE THINGS, AND THE TIN PANS OR THE SMOKE CHIPS JUST BUY SOME
OF THOSE, AND PUT THEM ON A SHELF IN YOUR GARAGE OR SOMEPLACE SO THAT WHEN
YOU NEED IT BECAUSE OF THE POWER IS OUT YOU AT LEAST HAVE SOMETHING TO COOK
ON. AND I THINK YOU SHOULD SAVE AN OLD POT BECAUSE YOU CAN KEEP AN OLD POT,
AND TAKE CHARCOAL BRIQUETTES AND DROP THEM IN THE POT. TAKE THE GRATE OUT
OF YOUR OVEN AND PUT IT ON THE POT, AND YOU HAVE A COOKING SURFACE. THERE'S
LOTS OF THINGS THAT I'M HOPING YOU FOLKS WILL BE ABLE TO BENEFIT FROM THAT
WEBSITE.
THE OTHER THING THAT'S SORT OF BECOME AN ISSUE IS SERVICE ANIMALS. THERE'S
A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WORK DOGS, AND SERVICE ANIMALS. WE SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE
THAT HAVE I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEIR DISABILITY IS WHERE THEY NEED TO HAVE
THESE TEENY TINY DOGS THAT FIT IN A TEACUP AND THEY NEED TO CARRY THEM. AND
THEY WEAR A VEST THAT SAYS SERVICE ANIMAL. THERE REALLY AREN'T ANY
UNIVERSAL STANDARDS. I'M GOING TO BE KEEPING YOU POSTED ON THAT. I BELIEVE
THERE'S PEOPLE THAT NEED TO HAVE THE ANIMALS WITH THEM. I THINK THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE ABUSING THIS, AND THEY MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THOSE
THAT REALLY DO NEED THAT.
SOMETHING ELSE I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WE'VE HAD RAY MUELLER ON THE
SHOW WHO'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT ASBESTOS AND I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE HIS
INFORMATION OUT. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT VETERANS AND HE'S GOING TO BE TALKING
ABOUT DIFFERENT PRODUCTS THAT HAVE ASBESTOS IN THEM. I THINK ONE OF THE
THINGS HE MENTIONED THE LAST TIME HE WAS ON WAS DUCT TAPE WHICH I HAD NO
IDEA THAT DUCT TAPE HAD ASBESTOS IN IT. AT ANY RATE YOU CAN CALL OR CONTACT
OR MICHAEL J. MANDELBROT. HE IS AT THE ASBESTOS LEGAL CENTER. THE
TELEPHONE NUMBER IS 415 399 1631. THERE'S SOME PEOPLE I'VE TALKED TO ABOUT
THIS, AND THEY'RE HAVING PROBLEMS, COMPLICATIONS WITH A FAMILY MEMBER THAT
MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO ASBESTOS THAT IS DREDGING UP ALL THESE MEMORIES. I
JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I BELIEVE THAT THE LAW FIRM MANDELBROT AND
ASSOCIATES HAS BEEN VERY, VERY EASY TO WORK WITH. I DID THIS RIGHT AFTER MY
DAD DIED. IT WAS KIND OF A TOUGH TIME FOR THEM. DON'T LET THAT DISCOURAGE
YOU, AND I PARTICULARLY WANT TO ADDRESS THOSE THAT ARE VETERANS ESPECIALLY
IF YOU'VE BEEN OVERSEAS. YOU WERE PROBABLY IN A SHIP THAT HAD ASBESTOS IN
IT. THOSE THAT WORKED AROUND BOILERS OR MECHANICS OR I THINK I THINK
THERE WAS ONE OTHER THING, CARPENTERS. YOU NEED TO CONTACT THE MANDELBROT
LEGAL CENTER, ASBESTOS, LEGAL CENTER. 582 MARKET STREET, SUITE 608 SAN
FRANCISCO 94014. TELEPHONE NUMBER, 415 399 1631. AND I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU
THE FAX NUMBER SO YOU CAN FAX THEM A QUESTION IF YOU HAVE IT.
IT'S 415 727 4700.
AND E MAIL, MANDELBROT@ASBESTOSLEGALCENTER.ORG. AND THE PERSON THAT WE HAVE
BEEN WORKING WITH IS RAY MUELLER. REALLY A NICE GUY. AND I ALSO WANTED TO
BECAUSE MR. MUELLER IS GOING TO BE ON THE NEXT SHOW WE DO, AND HE IS ASKING
FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT PRODUCT SAFETY. THAT IS
SOMETHING ELSE HE MENTIONED TO ME. I THINK IT WAS THE DENTURE CREAM THAT
LIKE I DON'T WANT TO MENTION A BRAND NAME BUT YOU USE IT TO HOLD YOUR
DENTURES IN PLACE WHICH HAS ZINC IN IT WHICH IS NOT A GOOD THING. HOPEFULLY
THOSE THAT HAVE ASBESTOS EXPOSURE WILL BE ABLE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM, AND
WORK OUT SOME OF THOSE THINGS SO THAT YOU CAN GET WHAT YOU'RE ENTITLED TO
BECAUSE IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME TRUST FUNDS SET UP.
SO ANYWAY, LET'S GO BACK TO THE COMMISSION, THE COUNTY COMMISSION ON
DISABILITY WHICH IS GOING TO MEET NEXT MONTH. JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU THE
WEBSITE BECAUSE I MENTIONED THE LUNCHEON, AND THE WEBSITE IS
WWW.LACCOD.BOS.LACOUNTY.GOV AND IT GIVES YOU ALL OF THE INFORMATION ABOUT
THE LUNCHEON. HOW TO ORDER YOUR TICKETS, AND ALSO THE E MAIL IS
LACCOD@BOS.LACOUNTY.GOV.
NOW I'M GOING TO ASK YOU GUYS PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE, CHECK OUT
OUR E MAIL. I DON'T HAVE E MAIL. SO THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW WHETHER
IT'S EASY FOR YOU TO READ. WHETHER THE INFORMATION IS COMPLETE, AND WHETHER
IT MAKES SENSE TO YOU OR NOT. AND THE TELEPHONE NUMBER IS 213 974 1053.
AND YOU WANT TO ASK FOR RHONDA.
RHONDA IS OUR HEAD STAFF PERSON THERE, AND IF SHE DOESN'T GET TO YOU RIGHT
AWAY PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE. IF SHE DOESN'T CALL YOU BACK RIGHT AWAY PLEASE
CALL BACK. WE ARE SHORT A COUPLE OF STAFF PEOPLE RIGHT NOW, SO IT MAY TAKE
A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO DO THAT.
AND THEN I'M JUST GOING TO MENTION ONE MORE THING WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE
LOT OF TIME LEFT. ONE OF THE THINGS I'M TRYING TO DO IS TO DOCUMENT THE
HISTORY OF THE DISABILITY MOVEMENT HERE IN LOS ANGELES. AND I REALLY FEEL
LIKE WE HERE STARTED THE DISABILITY MOVEMENT, AND I HAVE TO GIVE TOM BRADLEY
CREDIT FOR THAT. WHICH I DO DURING AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH, AND HIS
ASSISTANT TOM ELKINS, WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN GETTING THE CITY'S COMMISSION ON
DISABILITY, AND ALSO THE EVENTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE DEPARTMENT ON
DISABILITY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AT THIS POINT WITH THE DEPARTMENT
ON DISABILITY. I'M HOPING THAT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE WILL GIVE UP TRYING TO
GET RID OF THE DEPARTMENT, AND IT'S MY GRAPEVINE TELLS ME THAT IT IS A STAFF
PERSON IN THE MAYOR'S OFFICE THAT IS REALLY SPEARHEADING THIS GROUP THAT
WE'RE A COUPLE OF MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL THAT SEEMED TO FEEL IN THE
BEGINNING THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA WHO HAVE CHANGED THEIR MIND.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'RE OUT OF TIME. SO I GUESS UNTIL THE THIRD
WEDNESDAY, ADIOS. AND I'LL SEE YOU THEN WITH THE DISABILITY NETWORK.
PLEASE KEEP LISTENING. THANK YOU.
