Composer Joel Hirschhorn dies The Associated Press THOUSAND OAKS Joel Hirschhorn, who shared two Academy Awards for theme songs in "The Poseidon Adventure" and "The Towering Inferno," has died. He was 67. Hirschhorn, of Agoura Hills, died Sunday of a heart attack at Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, his wife, Jennifer Carter Hirschhorn, said. Lutes and Sanchez vote against voted 5-2 to have city staff draft housing guidelines using the equity sharing approach.

Equity is the portion of a home's property value that belongs to the current owner, including down payment, payments toward the principle and appreciation. "We want people to share in the American Dream," said Mayor Anna Caballero, referring to homeownership. "Nobody is talking about anybody getting rich." Councilwoman Jyl Lutes and Councilman Sergio Sanchez voted against the change, favoring the city's current approach, which restricts inclusionary homeowners from selling their home at market rate for 30 years. If the home is sold before then, it would have to go to a buyer in the same income group as the family, limiting the homeowner's chance at earning equity. Staff re-evaluates From Page 1A City staff re-evaluated the resale approach after the council adopted a new inclusionary housing ordinance Aug.

16. It will significantly increase the number of affordable homes built in future developments. The ordinance lets developers choose three options for what portion of homes in their projects will be priced at levels affordable to low- or moderate-income buyers: 20 percent, 25 percent or 35 percent.

This made more time to enjoy his favorite pastimes: bowling, roller-skating, movies, fishing and spending summers at Lake San Antonio teaching many to water ski. He was preceded in death by his parents, Angelo Pozzi Amelia Luchessa Pozzi, and his brother, Albert Pozzi.

Gordon Gould, 85, inventor of laser, dies Los Angeles Times Gordon Gould, the prolific physicist who was widely credited with inventing the laser in 1957, then spent 30 years convincing federal courts to uphold his patents, died Friday at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. He was 85 and suffered from emphysema. Derided as an "attic inventor" with a "candy-store patent," Gould was forced to sit on the sidelines when Charles 1 H.

Townes shared the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics with two Russian physicists for developments that led to the laser. Gould, however, received patents on the device that brought him more than $30 million in royalties. Gould was a physics graduate student at Columbia University in November 1957, when he conceived the laser in a latenight flash of inspiration. He dropped out of Columbia and began working to bring his vision to fruition. YOUR PHOTOS BECOME ART WHEN WE FRAME THEM! We Have Been Framing For 34 Years!

Representatives from affordable housing advocacy groups Land Watch and Comunitarios said the program was designed to get low-income families into affordable homes, not for the families to later make a profit. "It bothers me that we have worked so hard to get the units so that with a stroke of a pen they can turn around and make money," said Lidia Rodriquez, president of Comunitarios.

But Alfred CEO of affordable-housing builder Community Housing Improvement Systems and Planning Association, said the restricted resale approach traps poor families in the low-income bracket. "If you put on all these deed restrictions they are nothing more than renters," said. Under the equity-sharing approach, the money from the developer subsidy the gap between the market value and initial sales price and the home's appreciation will go into a city trust fund to develop more affordable housing units and help first-time homebuyers. City staff said this will not public. 394-6604.

T-SHIRTS TO TEXAS: Northridge Mall with Macerich properties nationwide is collecting new T-shirts for distribution to hurri- guarantee that for each unit sold there will be enough money to build another affordable unit, drawing ire from some community organizations. "The bottom line is we want this program and the units built to be a community asset for the longest period of time and for the most amount of people," said Alexander Urciuoli, spokesman for Citizens for Responsible Growth. Sanchez fails on compromise Sanchez introduced a motion to direct staff to come up with a third option to combine the equity-sharing and restricted-resale approach, but it failed 2-5. The percentage of equity that the homebuyer would earn will operate on a sliding scale, with the homeowner earning 20 percent of the appreciation if the unit is sold within four years and 60 percent of the equity if it is sold between 20 and 30 years.

If the home is sold after more than 30 years, the homeowner would earn 100 percent of the equity. City staff recommended to go with shared equity approach because it behaves much like the real estate market, which has been steadily and sharply rising in the Salinas area over at least the past six years. Contact Zachary Stahl at cane victims in temporary housing in Texas. The mall is asking people to clean out storage closets of any new T-shirts, hats, tote bags, teddy bears, etc. Pick-up may be arranged by calling the mall management office at 449-7227.
