Hulu taking center stage at State of the City
Experts say cleanliness and awareness can prevent Norovirus from spreading
BY KATE CAGLE BY MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor
Local students are expected to return to John Adams Middle School (JAMS) on Monday after a contagious illness swept through a group of students and parents late last week. Public Health officials suspect the symptoms could have been caused by Norovirus but tests are ongoing and no official cause had been released by press time. JAMS closed on Friday and the school was cleaned over the weekend. In a statement sent to parents last week, SMMUSD said 80 children and 10 adults where showing symptoms after returning from a
trip to Yosemite. Experts said the disease spreads very quickly and while it could have been present at the trip site, it was equally possible one individual was unknowingly exposed to the virus days before the trip and it simply spread in the close quarters. If the illness is Norovirus, it can spread quickly and officials said closing school on Friday would help prevent the outbreak from extending to other individuals because the three day gap would allow most of the infected individuals to show symptoms and then remove themselves from contact with others.

They call themselves Hulugans and they are quickly multiplying in Santa Monica. They’re not soccer fans – well, at least not all of them – but are Hulu employees. And while their campus features every perk, open floor plan and game room you would expect with a typical Silicon Valley tech behemoth, they’ve decide to settle down in Santa Monica. “We consider ourselves at the intersection of entertainment and technology,” said Hulu’s Senior Vice President of Talent and Organization Jim O’Gorman, who helped make the decision in 2013 to grow the company in Santa Monica. Since Hulu’s video streaming service combines tech and television, Santa Monica seemed like a perfect fit. “We consider it TV’s backyard but it’s also the front porch of technology when you think about Silicon Beach,” O’Gorman said. “We can blend both aspects of the industry.” Just four years ago Hulu staked a claim at the Colorado Center on Broadway with 350 employees and 95,000 square feet. The company has quickly ballooned in size and by the end of this year will have about 1,000 employees working at the Santa Monica campus. To accommodate all those techies, their office space is expanding to 240,000 square feet when construction ends. That fast growth is part of the reason the Chamber of Commerce has decided to honor Hulu with this year’s Economic Excellence Award at the State of the City address. More than five hundred people will pack SGI Auditorium Monday night to hear City Manager Rick Cole’s annual speech and watch

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Downtown
State of the City on Feb. 6 The Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual State of the City on Monday, Feb. 6, from 4:30 – 7 p.m. Over five hundred people are expected to attend the event, which will take place at SGI Auditorium in downtown Santa Monica (525 Wilshire Blvd.) Highlights of this year’s event include remarks by Santa Monica Mayor Ted Winterer and City Manager Rick Cole, presentation of the Economic Excellence Award to Hulu, a keynote address by former U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry Cisneros, and a discussion between Secretary Cisneros and Mr. Cole moderated by KCRW’s Frances Anderton. This year’s theme, “Creating Solutions Together,” encourages Santa Monicans to come together to explore opportunities for partnership and dialogue as a united community in which all can thrive. “We have a stellar program planned for State of the City 2017—one that celebrates innovation, unity and solution-oriented discussion,” said Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors Chair Yesenia Monsour of Kaiser Permanente. “As our community comes together following a passionate election season locally and nationally, the Chamber looks forward to serving an essential civic role by facilitating the open exchange of ideas, as we have for 91 years.” In addition to remarks by Mayor Winterer, City Manager Cole, Secretary Cisneros (himself a former Chamber of Commerce Chair in San Antonio, TX) and Chamber of Commerce leadership, the event will feature an update on the highly successful Hack the Beach series the Chamber launched last year in partnership with the City to encourage the technology community’s participation in civic life. The program will be followed by a networking reception in the SGI Auditorium. The State of the City doors will open at 4:30 p.m. The program begins at 5 p.m. with a reception immediately following. Tickets are $10 for students and seniors, $40 for Chamber members and Santa Monica residents, and $50 for non-residents.

Record-breaking response to $25,000 matching gift The Santa Monica-Malibu Education Foundation received $161,801 from 588 donors during a five-day drive to meet a $25,000 matching gift from Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows / MSD Capital. The drive ended on Tuesday, Jan. 31, which was also the end of the Ed Foundation’s annual parent pledge campaign. “What an incredible show of support for our children!” said Linda Greenberg, Executive Director of the Education Foundation. “Our community is dedicated to making sure that students receive the best education possible. Thank you to every donor who generously contributed during this campaign and thank you to the Fairmont Miramar and MSD Capital for their leadership. We are so grateful!” Donors contributed over $100,000 on the last day of the match alone, the most ever raised from community donations on a single day in the Ed Foundation’s history. “We are truly amazed and energized by the tremendous response to this match,” said Ellis O’Connor, of MSD Hospitality, the hotel asset manager for MSD Capital, the Miramar’s parent company. “The response is a wonderful example of our community and local businesses partnering to affect positive change. We are so proud that our match inspired this amazing result and would like to thank each donor who joined us in supporting our local public school students.” Education Foundation fundraising for programs in schools next year will continue through the spring with events as well as corporate and foundation outreach. Upcoming events include the Greg Coote Concert For The Arts on March 11 featuring Michael McDonald (of the Doobie Brothers) with special guest Amy Holland, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Richard Page (Mr. Mister), VENICE and student musicians.

Booing Belichick and Brady (Not so, Bundchen) THE FIRST SUPER BOWL WAS PLAYED IN
1967 and was at the L.A. Coliseum, which was one-third empty. The most expensive ticket was $12. Today, the Super Bowl has grown to such national holiday status, it’s as though only after the game does the New Year begin. And, so far this year, the highest price paid for a ticket is $74,928. Frankly, I don’t have a dog in the race, and I probably won’t for many years. Take pity, I’m a Rams fan. There’s an old expression in sports, “If you’re not cheating, you’re not trying hard enough.” The New England Patriots, given their spying on other teams and deflating footballs, certainly “try harder.” All the more exasperating, since 2002 they will have been in 7 Super Bowls! That’s why on Sunday, in between dip, chips and beer, I’ll be chanting “Go Falcons.” With these columns at 800 words, if I listed the accomplishments of Tom Brady, it wouldn’t be a column, it’d be a MiniWikipedia Page. Brady holds just about every quarterback record there is, and at 39, amazingly, he doesn’t seem to have slowed a bit. (Hopefully on Sunday?) At least Brady seems likable. Tall, handsome, rich and he has a gorgeous wife, model Giselle Bundchen who may be even richer. Not so likable is Bill Belichick, the taciturn coach who not only wears a hoodie to the games, I suspect he sleeps in one. Yet, if the Pats win on Sunday (biting my tongue) Belichick may be considered the greatest NFL coach of all-time. Belichick certainly doesn’t have the greatest personality. Has anyone ever seen him laugh? His depressed voice, even when he wins, reminds of a dreary Ingmar Bergman movie. Put it this way, he can make Dick Cheney seem upbeat. According to national polls, the Pats are the most hated NFL team, two years in a row. Some say it’s jealousy because of their remarkable success. Others say it’s their “cheating ways.” In 2007 there was “Spygate” (fined $250,000 and a draft choice); in 2015 there was “Deflategate” (Brady suspended 4 games) and assorted other scandals in between. (Not to mention Aaron Hernandez, backup tight end for New England, whose double murder trial begins on February 13.) But here’s another reason for me to root against the Patriots, Belichick and Brady are big Donald Trump fans. Even Pats owner, Robert Kraft, is a Trump supporter. (I’m assuming Giselle is, too but I’m cutting her
some slack on the off chance after she leaves Tom she might call.) Digressing, other sports icons who are fans of Trump include: Mike Tyson (duh); Jack Nicklaus (sorry now Tiger won’t break his record) and Bobby Knight. In fact, at a political rally in Indiana, Knight introduced Trump, “This man, like Harry Truman, won’t be afraid to drop the nuclear bomb.” Isn’t that comforting? Not to mention Trump’s top adviser Steve (“Loose Cannon”) Bannon recently predicted that in a matter of years the U.S. will likely go to war with China. What do you suppose the Chinese are doing now that they’ve been put on notice? Back to the Super Bowl, of which the Patriots have won 4 and lost 4. If they win on Sunday they will be tied with the Cowboys and 49ers for second most Super Bowl wins at 5. (Pittsburgh holds the record at 6.) If the Pats lose, however, they will be tied with Denver for the most Super Bowl losses at 5. The Atlanta Falcons were in a Super Bowl in 1999. Even the Rams were in a Super Bowl more recently, (2000) and they won. They returned in 2002 against...you guessed it, the Patriots, but even again there was possible New England cheating. While the Rams, favored by 7 to 14 points, dominated the game statistically, the final score was Pats 20 Rams 17. There was talk the Pats had spied on Rams practices. I wouldn’t doubt it. Hey, in 2015 Steelers’ headsets went out while playing in New England as has happened to other teams at the most inopportune times. (Where’s there’s smoke...) With New England favored, Bill Plaschke, L.A. Times sportswriter, says not only is the game “David versus Goliath,” it’s also “Good versus Evil.” With likable Matt Ryan at quarterback for the high-flying Falcons under the steady guidance of coach Dan Quinn, Atlanta is considered by most to be the good guys. This will be Quinn’s first Super Bowl as a head coach. He was, however, a defensive coordinator for Seattle against the Pat two years ago and will have been in the big game three of the last four years. Not only is Quinn smart and even-tempered, he doesn’t wear a hoodie. Belichick, of course, does and seemingly everywhere. He, too, is smart and, some say, he’s even-tempered ... always grouchy. JACK also writes “Laughing Matters” every Friday. He can be reached at jnsmdp@aol.com.

O’Gorman accept the award. The Chamber considers Hulu a good addition to the City because of civic programs that give back, most notably the company’s sponsorship of Breeze Bike Share. There are more than 500 green electronic bikes in Santa Monica and Venice. Anyone with a smart phone can download the Social Bikes app and rent one for the day or just a few minutes for a quick commute. Bicycles are a big part of tech: Google and Facebook bikes pepper the streets of Mountain View and Palo Alto near their campuses. O’Gorman says bikes are a natural fit because tech companies tend to emphasize sustainability. “It plays into our values,” O’Gorman said. “Tech companies, all of us operate under a clear set of values.” “When we talk about how character mat-

ters and we operate as one team, those are words we need to demonstrate and show out in the community.” While the Hulu branded baskets on Breeze bikes are their most visible contribution, O’Gorman is most proud of mentorship programs fostered in Santa Monica. The company works with Spark, a national non-profit that connects middle school students with mentors in the local business community. More than ninety percent of Spark students go on to graduate from high school on time. “In order to grow in any geography you have to be a responsible member of that community,” O’Gorman said. “It is broader than just your company doors.” The State of the City address will start at 5 p.m. at the SGI World Peace Auditorium at 525 Wilshire Boulevard. Doors open thirty minutes before the speeches begin. Tickets costs $40 for Santa Monica residents and can be purchased through smchamber.com.

Q&A following the screening that he was attracted to the script immediately and saw no one other than McConaughey in the lead role. To shoot the film, the cast and crew had to live through the same hazardous conditions these characters endured: flooding, heat and insects, in the jungles of Thailand. One day they woke up to find that whole set that they had spent days building was completely under water. The filmmakers that Gaghan has assembled for this project are some of the best in the business, many from both film and TV. This movie is worth seeing on three levels. It’s a fun adventure story that showcases excellent work by the actors in their portrayals of highly unusual characters. It will keep you guessing from minute to minute. It’s also a wake up call in the sense that a selfstyled entrepreneur could ignite gold fever in so many individuals based on his claim, with no solid evidence, that the mine he discovered had the potential to deliver 30 to 45 million ounces of gold. Profit-hungry investors caused the stock price of the mining company to balloon from 30 cents to $187 a share. People tend to believe information they hear if it’s simply communicated with confidence – and if it’s what they want to hear. It’s smart right now to remember a translation of a Russian proverb used by Ronald Reagan regarding nuclear disarmament, we all need to “Trust, but Verify.” Always check the facts!

Gold is loosely based on a true, very complicated account took place from the late 1980’s into the 1990’s. What happens when a geologist – a dreamer and treasure-seeker with the personality of a Disney pirate - goes looking for a source of gold in the hills deep in Indonesia and ends up swinging high on the sails of the volatile stock market? In reality, the geologist, John Felderhof, advised a mineral company to buy a mine in a jungle in Indonesia based on his estimates of the gold it contained. His project manager at the site, Filipino geologist Michael de Gusman, corroborated Felderhof ’s estimate with evidence he collected from the site. In this movie the story is skillfully simplified by screenwriters Patrick Massett, John Zinman and Stephan Gaghan, to highlight emotional arcs, develop a delicious mystery and leave some dangling questions for the audience to answer in their own imaginations. Felderhof’s character is “Kenny Wells” in this film and is played with aplomb by Matthew McConaughey. McConaughey gained 40 pounds for the role and inhabits a character larger than life, as big a drinker as he is a dreamer. Edgar Ramirez creates a persona who is a great counterpoint foil to Kenny, in his portrayal of “Michael Acosta”, the de Gusman character. He is the more sensible and pragmatic, the more elegant and handsome, of the two. As the story unravels, we are left to surmise if either is to be trusted. Director Stephen Gaghan noted in the

Norovirus is easily transmitted person to person and is the major cause of diarrhea in the United States. It can be spread through direct contact or through contaminated food and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about half of all foodborne illness in the U.S. can be attributed to Norovirus. Dr. Paul Krogstad, a professor of pediatric infectious disease at Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA said there are about a million cases per year and about 50-70,000 of those results in a hospitalization. The disease is responsible for between 600 and 800 deaths per year. Those most likely to die are the very young and the very old. The danger in both cases isn’t the disease itself but complications from dehydration and those complications are more severe in the tiny bodies of newborns and in the elderly who might have already compromised health. “If you’re in the middle, it is uncomfortable and an annoying disease but one that is seldom dangerous to an individual,” he said. He said simple eating and drinking to keep up with fluid loss is enough to get most people through the relatively short window. Those who are at risk should seek medical attention and can often be treated through drinking or in rare cases, intravenous fluids. “There’s no special treatment, it only requires supportive treatment to address the loss of fluids and electrolytes lost. Making that correction allows the short lived, selflimited illness to run its course, no pun intended, in two to three days at the very most,” he said.
According to the CDC, the virus causes the stomach and/or intestines to become inflamed. This leads to stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. Krogstad said several references indicate that norovirus will persist on hard surfaces for several weeks at levels high enough to continue an outbreak. Room temperature and drying do not rapidly inactive the virus so extensive cleaning of surfaces with hypochlorite bleach or other known-effective disinfectants is recommended. He said the school’s response was entirely reasonable and a valid attempt at addressing both the incubation period and virus’ ability to persist. “Knowing that some of these kids did go back, they are trying to break the chain. The school in contact with the Department of Public Health is taking very reasonable steps to interrupt the chain of transmission,” he said. Parents who suspect their child has the illness can take steps at home to prevent its spread. Enforcing proper hand hygiene is important as is washing food before eating, cooking food properly, avoiding food preparation or care for others when sick, washing laundry and cleaning contaminated surfaces. The CDC recommends a chlorine bleach solution with 5-25 tablespoons of household bleach per gallon of water (or another disinfectant registered as effective against norovirus by the Environmental Protection Agency).

ST. JOHN’S FROM PAGE 1
of follow-up care is a chronic problem and St. John’s has partnered with other local agencies to provide a more robust health care system for homeless patients. Lauren Lewow, Communication Specialist at Providence Health and Services said, “The goal is to help the vulnerable and provide care not just in the hospital but outside of the facility as well.” Providence partnered with Venice Family Clinic (VFC) and Ocean Park Community Center (OPCC) back in 2007 to work together to find a solution to continue care after medical visits. OPCC continues to be one of the largest nonprofit agencies to serves the homeless community in Santa Monica, while the VFC provides quality out patient care throughout the Westside. Together they formed the Westside Respite Center. OPCC converted two large rooms in their SAMOSHEL facility to Respite Care, along with two offices for exam rooms where VFC physicians can provide outpatient services within the same building. “The man (John Doe) used many different addresses usually the address of a building or office that he slept in front of,” said Providence Director of Community Benefits, Mary Luthy. “We knew that we needed a more valid way of identifying homelessness.” Part of the solution was creating a position responsible for connecting homeless individuals with needed services. The Respite program at Providence St. John’s Health Center created a Community Care Coordinator position in partnership with OPCC in 2016 to help those who are discharged from the hospital to find shelter for
7
the evening and a connection for services in the future. Mallnese Tarpley started as the first Community Care Coordinator, she was assigned to the Emergency Department during the evening hours to assist the homeless individuals who came into the hospital and find them shelter and other resources. “To date, 471 patients agreed to meet with Tarpley about their homelessness,” said Luthy. “Of these, 175 have been placed in shelter and have been connected to services and to housing.” The goal of the program is to provide additional medical care and support once they are discharged from the Emergency Department. It can be difficult to regain a healthy body when put back on the streets. Lewow said, “It is also about gaining these peoples trust and having a safe place to sleep for the night. Its crucial they have support when transition from a hospital.” This year Providence received a grant for another full-time position to be in the Emergency Department. This person will follow the footsteps of Tarpley, to make sure that once patients leave the hospital they have a place to rest, heal and follow up on their medical needs. With the help of the Respite program, John Doe now lives in another state with his family, and he fulfilled his mothers wish, to see her son again. “PSJHC caregivers were very happy to hear he has a loving family to return to, and that he was able to go home. We are happy for him and grateful for our partners, OPCC, VFC, the City of Santa Monica, the Santa Monica Police Department Homeless Liaison Team, for being a crucial part of helping this man get home,” said Luthy.

CRIME WATCH B Y

P R E S S
S T A F F
Crime Watch is culled from reports provided by the Santa Monica Police Department. These are arrests only. All parties are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
ON JANUARY 25, AT ABOUT 2 A.M. While patrolling the 600 block of Navy Street officers observed a bicyclist with no lighting equipment and pushing a second bicycle along. Officers stopped the subject and spoke with him. The subject was very evasive regarding the second bicycle and who the owner of the bicycle was. A further search of the subject resulted in the recovery of several burglary tools found in his backpack. The subject was placed under arrest and transported to SMPD Jail for booking. William Jansen, 23, from Westchester, was arrested for receiving stolen property and burglary tools. Bail was set at $1,000.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 4)
By PETER GALLAGHER
Strange Brew
By JOHN DEERING
You will grow in strength, popularity and vitality as you spend the bulk of your time repeating successful actions hanging around the people who make you thrive. Your family grows in March. May brings new avenues for learning and earning. July is a second chance at an old path. Things have changed. Cancer and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 7, 28 and 19.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
You’re not here to show anyone you’re better; you’re here to be better. The impression you make matters a lot less to you than the work you’re committed to.
With your immense powers of creativity you will create scenarios in which you can shine. This is especially effective on the social front; friends love your brand of fun.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
When the conversation is over, let it be over. Don’t replay it in your head. Anything you replay will be distorted. You have a much better effect when you don’t worry so much about what exactly it is.
Your story is more interesting than you think and is packed with valuable information and inspiration. How and when you share it will be important. Don’t wing it. Work on it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Love and life lessons can be learned through difficulty or ease. Both are valid methods of education, though lessons of hardship tend to be learned faster and deeper. Mankind is wired this way.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) Warren Buffett famously stated, “Our investment philosophy borders on lethargy.” Apply it to your energetic investments today, because there’s much drifting across the radar that’s not worth trifling over.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Life isn’t a contest, and that goes double for love. If someone is trying to cast you as a competitor in what could or should be a non-competitive arena, your best bet is to opt out of the game.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’re not imagining it: The one who keeps paying special attention to you is smitten. It’s very likely that you’re not sure how you feel about this but the days to come will make it clearer.
You will fail many times before you will succeed. You can’t get ready for the big leagues any other way except through trial and as many errors as it takes to learn the right way.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Often we assume that the people we admire are somehow happier than us and they lead glamorous, problem-free lives. Nope, not true, not usually, anyway. In fact, maybe you’re the lucky one.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Someone shows up to take the heat off of you. You’ll be glad that the attention is flowing away from you, but this is not a reason for you to pack up and go. Stay and contribute. You’ll learn something.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Craft your communication to present your ideas and identity in the best light. Pushing “send” takes a fraction of a second, but the consequences can be lasting.

Venus Feeds Back The crossing of love goddess Venus (who also rules the work we want to be good at) into the warrior sign of Aries changes the tone of feedback. We all have vulnerabilities, unhealed wounds and emotional sensitivities. This is what makes it hard to hear criticism, even the kind that will, if applied, take us to the next level of mastery.
