ZONING ISSUES:

Council aims to nip hedge issues in bud

BY DAVID MARK SIMPSON Daily Press Staff Writer

CITY HALL What were you doing at 1:15 a.m. on Thursday? If you’re a City Council member, engaged citizen, or local reporter, you were listening to a debate about hedges.

Deep into council’s seven-hour discussion of the proposed update of the Zoning Ordinance, which will dictate land uses throughout the city for years to come, Mayor Kevin McKeown suggested some changes to the draft as it pertains to the bushes people grow in their yards.

A decade ago, the city was deep in what was known as the “Hedge Wars.” Former Santa Monica Mayor Bobby Shriver, a member of the Kennedy family, jumped into

DETOURS Matthew Hall editor@smdp.com

Demolition of the California Incline began on Monday. While drivers seemed to expect detours, pedestrians were surprised to learn sections of Palisades Park will be closed.

Walkers cannot cross California at the incline or cross Ocean at that intersection.

Pedestrians must use crosswalks at Wilshire and Washington to walk around the construction. The southbound bike lane on Ocean remains open.

politics after City Hall tried to fine him for letting his hedges get too high.

“The issue has come up again in the new draft Zoning Ordinance because staff is proposing that even somebody who got a grand-parented hedge approved 10 years ago could now apply for a higher hedge, even if the neighbor objected,” McKeown said, “and having lived through that, and being glad to have lived through it, I’m wondering if we wouldn’t say, instead, that a grand parented hedge adjustment is okay only if it’s okayed by the neighbor.”

One exception, he proposed, would be if there’d been a substantive change to the hedge-bordering SEE HEDGE PAGE 9

Bounded Social Justice AS THE COUNCIL DEBATED OUR PROPOSED

zoning update last week, it was evident that many on both sides of Santa Monica’s housing debate believe in social justice.

It became clear over the course of public comment and as the Council voted 4-to-3 to further restrict housing on the boulevards, that we differ in how we view the scope of social impacts our decisions in Santa Monica have on other communities.

Some who oppose new housing in our city do so with the belief that we have a responsibility to ensure just and equitable outcomes only for those who already live here. Living in Santa Monica comes with many benefits other communities dream of. Santa Monica is a leader in early childhood education, has amazing schools, is at the forefront of creating sustainable, active transportation options, and provides a robust network of social services for residents of all ages.

However, what happens to our concern for justice when we begin talking about the world past Centinela? Is social justice a concept that should only be applied to those of us who already live west of that border?

This is something to consider as the Council, on May 5, will decide whether to reverse a decade of work on the Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE) as part of a vote on our new zoning ordinance. That day, the Council will decide whether to make substantive changes to the LUCE, further constraining our already-limited options for new homes, including the modest number we had hoped for along our commercial boulevards.

Traffic is perhaps the most visible consequence of our housing policies. We have a large number of jobs but not enough homes by half for workers who commute in everyday. For those working

higher wage jobs, there is already a high demand for market-rate housing.

The people who would live here if we were willing to make the space for them do not cease to exist simply because we prevent a new building from going up. Blocking new homes raises the value of our existing apartments and as older, rent controlled units turn over to market rates, we effectively filter all new residents by income level, except for the low-income families lucky enough to get a home in a nonprofit housing complex.

The proposed LUCE amendments, by making it much more difficult to put new housing on the boulevards, lays the groundwork for a potentially catastrophic wave of Ellis activity at levels currently seen in San Francisco. Condo conversions and tear-downs on larger parcels that have been grandparented in will be an unfortunate and unintended consequence if we choose to turn our backs on the community’s vision in the LUCE to direct growth away from existing neighborhoods.

Santa Monica’s current housing problems exist because we haven’t built our fair share in the past.

Since 1960, Santa Monica’s population has only grown by about five percent. In the same period, our regional population has nearly doubled.

We support building our fair share of housing — at all levels of affordability — because we believe that we must do all that we can to protect long-time residents living in existing neighborhoods, but also because the decisions we make as a community impact the lives of many other people struggling elsewhere in our region.

There are plenty of people who make too much money to qualify for affordable housing but not enough to compete for the scarce housing we have allowed. When we don’t make room for

EDITOR IN CHIEF Matthew Hall matt@smdp.com

someone who wants to live here — a young woman who went away to college and now wants to move back, for example — this person doesn’t disappear.

She moves elsewhere in our region. With the whole county racked by a historic housing shortage, turning away this would-be Santa Monican prices out a would-be West L.A. resident who displaces a family in Inglewood or Echo Park, perpetuating a vicious cycle of displacement, poverty, sprawl, commuter traffic, and public health problems.

While we share progressive values, our expectations differ on whether or not Santa Monica should take responsibility for the impacts we create outside our borders.

Why should we try to solve the region’s sprawl, traffic, public health, and affordability challenges?

We believe Santa Monica should strive to lessen its role in exacerbating these problems. We have to reject thinking that says, “These problems are too big; we can’t do anything about them.”

By doing our fair share, we can lead the region to a sustainable future with room for working people and the middle class. But by doing nothing, we will widen the gap between the haves and the have-nots, not only in Santa Monica, but in our entire region.

Do we want to make Santa Monica open only to the “one percent” who have for so long benefited from our nation’s growing wealth gap?

Santa Monica Forward is volunteer group of community members, residents and local activists working together for a diverse, progressive, sustainable and equitable Santa Monica. We stand for fact-based, inclusive and civil public discourse.

The Importance of Practicing Sustainability in the Hospitality Industry SUSTAINABILITY IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF OUR

Santa Monica lifestyle. Our city is recognized around the world for the role its citizens, government and businesses play in sustainable leadership and practices. As both a participant and messenger, Santa Monica Convention & Visitors Bureau (SMCVB) acknowledges the importance of preserving our natural resources and we are pleased to be part of a community that is a leader in this movement.

With the drought situation worsening, we must all strive even harder to use less of our natural resources. It is important to continually share best practices coupled with sustainability messaging and to embrace our community’s acknowledgements from others. This year, the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International (HSMAI) and National Geographic Traveler recognized SMCVB with a Platinum Adrian Award for “Leadership in Sustainable Tourism” at the 58th annual Adrian Awards, the largest and most prestigious travel marketing competition globally.

SMCVB received the honor for its part in creating the Santa Monica Green Business Certification Program, a voluntary program that encourages businesses to implement environmental practices.

The program is a collaboration between Sustainable Works, SMCVB, the City of Santa Monica and Chamber of Commerce. As a winner, Santa Monica will be featured as a sustainable destination in an upcoming issue of National Geographic Traveler.

“We are honored to receive this prestigious recognition on behalf of the Green Business Certification Program, its founding partners and all Santa Monica green certified businesses,” said SMCVB CEO/President, Misti Kerns. “The support from our hospitality community has been truly inspiring, allowing us to strengthen Santa Monica’s reputation as a top sustainable destination.”

Since its inception in 2007, 83 businesses in Santa Monica have received their green certification including six hotels, 22 restaurants and attractions such as the Santa Monica Bike Center, Santa Monica Pier Aquarium and Santa Monica Museum of Art. SMCVB led the charge by becoming the first office in the city of Santa Monica to receive the Santa Monica Green Business Certification and continues to leverage its communication channels and partnerships to encourage visitors to make more eco-friendly

decisions in their daily lives and while visiting our city.

One partnership that has greatly enhanced mobility for visitors and residents alike was forged last May when SMCVB partnered with Santa Monica Free Ride to launch the Santa Monica Shuttle, a free hotel-sponsored service that transports riders to various areas including but not limited to Downtown Santa Monica, the Santa Monica Pier and beaches, Main Street and Montana Avenue. Since its inception, the service has provided more than 50,000 free, electric, open-air rides for visitors and residents.

“Our 2013 Santa Monica Tourism Economic Impact Study reported that 80 percent of visitors prefer to walk once they’ve arrived in Santa Monica, a 10 percent increase from the previous year. We are committed to continuously looking for new ways that encourage visitors to go carfree,” said Kerns. “It was a natural connection to partner with Santa Monica Free Ride. They have a proven business model that provides a fun, free and eco-friendly service that not only enhances our destination experience, but also helps to

Water in restaurants Editor:

Do you know when Santa Monica restaurants will start saving water by not bringing glasses of water to the table unless requested?

Even with this terrible drought, most restaurants in Santa Monica still bring water to the table and keep refilling glasses constantly, I haven’t seen a single place where they don’t do that.

In Santa Barbara, restaurants now have a small sign saying “water brought only upon request” which seems a lot more sensible. Why aren’t Santa Monica’s restaurants being more responsible?

In the wake of Governor Brown declaring a drought State of Emergency in January, SMCVB held a roundtable for hospitality businesses on what businesses need to do to address the drought.

Kimberly O’Cain, sustainability analyst from the City of Santa Monica provided basic steps on how to conserve water and information on the initiatives and rebates available. During the meeting, Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel staff shared information on the AquaRecycle system they recently installed in their laundry facilities, which enables the hotel to recycle more than 70 percent of its laundry wastewater and the heat energy contained in it, conserving 4.3 million gallons per year.

“As a Santa Monica Certified Green Business, Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel is dedicated to supporting a sustainable Santa Monica and strives to be ahead of the game in our energy and water conservation efforts,” said Paul Leclerc, Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel Managing Director and SMCVB board member. “I’m thrilled to share that since installing our system in December, we have conserved more than one million gallons of water, surpassing initial estimated projections. We will continue to evaluate each and every opportunity in the hotel in an effort to identify projects that provide significant environmental and financial merit.”

Being green is much easier than Kermit The Frog once sang, especially if you are fortunate enough to live and do business in a city that offers the resources that Santa Monica does.

On April 16, 2015, Santa Monica Free Ride transported guests to and from the 20th annual Sustainable Quality Awards (SQAs), a special luncheon and awards presentation developed by the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce, the City of Santa Monica and Sustainable Works to identify and recognize businesses in the Santa Monica area that are successfully incorporating sustainable practices. SMCVB was honored to receive a SQA Grand Prize back in 2013 and this year, the hospitality industry’s dedication to sustainability continued to be well represented during the ceremony.

Locanda del Lago and Shore Hotel received prestigious SQA Grand Prizes; Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel and Alchemie Spa received SQA Excellence Awards for Stewardship of the Environment; and Le Meridien Delfina Hotel received an SQA Excellence Award for Social Responsibility.

Locanda del Lago, a Santa Monica staple that has been serving Northern Italian cuisine on the Third Street Promenade for 24 years, is proud to source produce from the Santa Monica Farmers Market, use sustainable and local proteins as much as possible, installed water saving faucets, energy efficient motion sensor lighting and recycles its fryer oil through Further Products, which is turned into soap for local hotels.

“Our motivation is the local Santa Monica community, pride in our business and a love for the environment,” said Megan Heritage, general manager. “Sustainability is the new norm, nothing less can or should be accepted.”

Shore Hotel, a leader in green buildings and in sustainable hotels since its opening in October 2011, was awarded the prestigious LEED Gold certification in 2012. Shore Hotel is dedicated to reducing consumption of resources and the depletion of ecosystem resources while maintaining a luxury experience for its hotel guests and community. The property recently installed an electric vehicle charger in their valet lounge and continues to offer guests advice on all things sustainable and eco-friendly through their Green Concierge Service.

“We are committed to being a green leader in the community and hospitality sector. It is all about making the right choices now and for future generations,” said Jon

for the most part, in spite of our Starbucks addiction (seriously, WHY do we have so many in eight square miles?) with our host of vegetarian restaurants, yoga studios, shakra healers and pilates places. We have an attitude of living well to get the most out of this short life that we have and to that end we are the source of many new age and new thought leaders.

Some of those leaders came together this past Saturday night at Cross Campus for the first of hopefully many TEDxSantaMonica salons and events. TedxSantaMonica has been quiet lately but there’s recently been a change of the movers and shakers who are now bringing in new ideas and new events.

John K. Bates (my longtime buddy) and Grant Graves are taking the TEDx experience to new levels with the cooperation of the guys who run Cross Campus. They opened up the multi-disciplinary office space to a crowd of around 150 people to do some networking, watch some amazing videos of TED talks and got the crowd to break into smaller discussion groups.

John is an executive speech coach who teaches people how to give rockstar TED talks and other presentations to groups, so he was a natural for the emcee role and he had the crowd engaged and motivated while Grant ran the behind the scenes a/v, looping in Dr. David Eagleman by Skype to do an introduction to his video on how his research into the brain, is developing new sensory pathways for humans. Watching Dr. Eagleman’s TED talk brought me back to my childhood dreams of being Steve Austin — the $6,000,000 Man played by Lee Majors.

Dr. Eagleman’s team is developing ways in which disabled people can communicate better, but the reality is that this type of work can and will yield applications for everyone in the future to experience the world in amazing new ways. Imagine being able to actually have “x-ray vision” or sense someone’s emotional state by their pheromones with a high powered nose. It’s all possible with the type of research that is being done.

We also heard from Dr. Zeynep Tufecki who does research on social media’s impact on social movements and why it is not as long lasting as the old school ways used in the 60’s. Her research shows that social media is

an awesome tool to gather people and communicate information, but not build longterm bonds. It was fascinating information coming out of the Occupy movement and the revolutions in the Middle East and validated many of my scattered thoughts on the value of social media like Twitter.

Her research proves to me that at the end of the day if you want to change the world you have to put people in rooms together and have them meet and talk and get to know each other. Just having information is not enough.

And that is why I like that one of the many events around town this week is the Activists Support Circle put on by Jerry Rubin and Co. tonight at 6:30 p.m. Earl Ofari Hutchinson is the guest. You may have seen Earl and me spar back in the day on the Week in Review show with Bill Rosendahl.

Earl is a strong voice for the African American community and this will be a great evening I’m sure. The event is open to the public. There is plenty of free onsite parking available at the Quaker Friends Meeting Hall located at 1440 Harvard Street, Santa Monica 90404 Lastly, I am happy to share that my friend Lisa Brisse is having a book signing this Sunday, April 26 at 4:15 p.m. at Revolution Fitness 1211 Montana Ave cost is $19 for the class; book signing after is free. Her book, Michael Jackson, The Man In Our Mirror A reflection of our collective soul, is a memoir / semi bio of her crossed paths with MJ over the years. The spin class will be a tribute to him, featuring his music, so you can come out, get fit, get her book, meet some folks of like mind and start to change the world. I’ll be videotaping, so you can meet me, and maybe get on camera.

We are truly blessed to have the opportunities we have in this city to constantly expand our minds, get healthy, and learn about what others are doing to make this world a better place.

Get Your Pain Treated At The Nation’s Only Pain Program That Provides Functional Improvement With Pain Relief. No Addictive Medications!

LOS ANGELES

LA mayor proposes nearly $8.6 billion budget Mayor Eric Garcetti on Monday proposed a nearly $8.6 billion city budget that adds millions for police and public safety programs and services such as tree trimming and sidewalk repair.

With a predicted rise in tax revenue, Garcetti’s spending plan for the fiscal year starting July 1 would maintain funding for 10,000 police officers; outfit 7,000 LAPD officers with body cameras; add $5.5 million for the city’s anti-gang program and expand a domestic abuse response program.

The proposal comes as LA deals with its first spike in violent crime in a decade.

The budget also provides money to hire and train 180 new firefighters.

The balanced budget is larger than that for several states. It relies on increased tax revenues as the city emerges from the recession. In his introduction, Garcetti said construction and tourism were soaring.

He said the value of construction in the city reached $6.4 billion last year, exceeding the pre-recession peak; the city had a record 43.4 million visitors; hotels broke a city record with an average occupancy rate of 79 percent and 70,000 more people were employed since July 2013, marking the fastest employment rise in more than a decade.

The budget also emphasizes what Garcetti calls his “back to basics” agenda. It would add millions for fixing potholes, repairing sidewalks and doubling the budget for tree trimming to cover more than 57,000 trees. It provides an additional $4.1 million to expand street-cleaning and adds money for 1,200 new trash bins.

About $31 million would be budgeted for sidewalk repairs. Earlier this month, the city agreed to spend $1.4 billion over 30 years on sidewalk repair in a settlement of a lawsuit filed by disabled residents.

The spending plan also will provide $10 million for the Affordable Housing Trust Fund to provide low-income housing.

It also sets aside $435 million in reserves.

The proposal assumes there won’t be any raises for about 20,000 city employees.

However, contract negotiations have stalled and raised the possibility of a strike.

A City Council committee will begin holding public hearings on the budget proposal later this month.

Appeals court rules against higher water rates for big users A California appeals court has ruled that San Juan Capistrano’s tiered water-rates are unconstitutional.

The 4th District Court of Appeal ruling Monday could have broader implications for other cities that use a similar pricing structure to encourage conservation.

The ruling upholds an Orange County judge’s decision that found that charging the biggest water users higher rates violates a voter-passed law that prohibits government agencies from charging more than the cost of a service.

San Juan Capistrano charged nearly four times as much per unit of water for the highest users, to encourage conservation.

Residents complained the higher rates were arbitrary and unfair.

Gov. Jerry Brown recently issued drought orders that called on local water agencies to implement tiered water pricing to help save water.

The Chargers are still in San Diego and Philip Rivers is still their quarterback.

That’s all Danny Woodhead and King Dunlap were concerned about as the Chargers who for the time being remain Southern California’s only NFL team - began offseason workouts Monday amid uncertainty on two fronts.

Woodhead says he’s been tuning out talk of the Chargers possibly moving to Los Angeles, as well as rumors that Rivers, who’s entering the final year of his contract, could be traded to Tennessee so the Chargers can draft Marcus Mariota.

Says Woodhead of Rivers, “We definitely like him as our quarterback.”

Says Dunlap: “That’s our quarterback. What he brings, not a lot of guys have.”

applied to have it demolished.

A similar pattern occurred at a house on Palisades Avenue. Both houses are listed on City Hall’s Historic Resource Inventory.

When any property is up for demolition, the Landmarks Commission reviews it for potential historical value. If the commission feels that the property may be historically significant, it can nominate the property for Landmark or Structure of Merit status - designations that add protections against demolition.

Of particular note are properties, like those on Georgina and Palisades avenues, listed on the Historic Resource Inventory.

Despite their place on the inventory, both landowners got begrudging permission to demolition from the commission. “What I’m seeing is now a trend,�

Commissioner John Berley said. “Word has gotten out that you can spend a few thousand dollars to disfigure your house and then you don’t have any obstacles for tearing it down.�

Several commissioners expressed concern that owners of potentially historically significant properties have found a loophole. To alter a Landmarked building, owners have to jump through several hoops and demolitions, as mentioned above, are reviewed by the commission, but alterations made to an unlandmarked building, regardless of its potential significance, goes through a far less rigorous process.

Commissioners discussed the two properties at length but agreed that all of the character-defining features, which once may have allowed the commission to protect the property, are gone. “The property now lacks integrity,�

Commissioner Laura Elizabeth O’Neill said of the Georgina property. “The problem is that the alterations occurred and we never

got to see them so we never knew they were removing really character defining features right up to applying for a demo permit, which is really unfortunate, but it lacks its character defining-features of the Mediterranean Revival style for sure, now.�

Craig Mordoh, a Santa Monica attorney representing the owner of the 237 Palisades Ave. property, said that accusations of malicious repairs are unfair. “What was done was to make repairs and it was only when the repairs were started that the condition of the property was discovered,� he said. “But some of the things that have changed recently, based on the roofline, those are not new changes.�

Mordoh and the landowner claimed that the property was altered repeatedly throughout the second half of the last century. “I am concerned when there’s an application to repair the property and then a month later there’s an application to demolish the property,� Berley said of the trend.

President of the Santa Monica Conservancy Carol Lemlein claimed that both she and the neighbors of the property were unable to locate demolition permits, which are supposed to be displayed publicly months in advance, until recently.

She asked the commission devise a strategy that “would offer more protection against this incremental demolition� without placing undue burden on landowners or city officials.

The commission agreed, directing city officials to agendize a discussion at a future meeting. “I’m personally sickened by this situation,� Chair Pro Tempore Leslie Lambert said of the Palisades property. “If this had come to us in December it probably would have been nominated for designation and now it has been ravaged and it’s not even close to be eligible for that and it really is sickening.� dave@smdp.com

to room, bed to bed, checking to see whether patients are satisfied with their hospital experiences.

She asks them about their doctors, their food, their comfort. She finds out if anything can be done to improve their stays.

“Sometimes they just want to talk about their lives,” Klein said. “Sometimes I sing to them. Sometimes we laugh. Sometimes we cry together. Whatever it is.”

Klein doesn’t donate her time as a patient liaison to be recognized. She’s among the thousands of people who feel compelled to improve small corners of their communities — not only during National Volunteer Week, which wrapped up April 18, but also throughout the rest of the year.

“These efforts most frequently touch the lives of the poor, the young, the aged and the sick, but in the process the lives of all men and women are made richer,” reads Richard Nixon’s presidential proclamation, which formalized the initiative in 1974. “There are abundant opportunities for every concerned American to reap the rewards that come from helping others.”

For Klein, a longtime Santa Monica resident and Holocaust survivor who works as a writer and artist, volunteering gives her a sense of fulfillment and a chance to interact with others.

While living in Canada, Klein had worked as a unit coordinator and secretary in the audiology department of a Montreal hospital. So when her husband died about six years ago, and she had an urge to find a purpose - “to be useful to society,” she said — she decided to return to health care.

Each week Klein looks forward to her volunteer role at the local hospital, not only because she enjoys meeting new people but also because she feels she is doing what she

property.

“In other words,” McKeown said, “if what was a single-family home is now a threefamily home, and they’re looking over the old hedge down into somebody’s backyard, that would be the only situation where someone who didn’t have his neighbor’s permission could come through a process and ask for an adjustment to the hedge.”

Councilmember Ted Winterer expressed an interest in vetoing any changes to the hedge ordinance.

“My initial reaction is if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” he said. “I prefer to leave well enough alone, but if there’s impetus to make these minor adjustments, I’ll consider it.”

Councilmember Gleam Davis expressed support for McKeown’s motion but asked that city planners consider including a height cap.

“We instituted the hedge ordinance

can to help those in need of a morale boost.

Recently, she visited a patient who had served in the U.S. Marine Corps and wanted to talk about his time in the military.

“I saluted him like a soldier,” Klein said.

“He smiled and said, ‘You made my day. I feel so much better since you came in here.’”

Sometimes, Klein said, patients ask to speak with a chaplain. Other times, they just want a glass of water. She’s found that her presence as a kind visitor is often enough to lift a patient’s spirits.

Volunteering is also therapeutic for Klein, who was a young girl during the Nazi invasion of Hungary. Her autobiography, “All the Pretty Shoes,” which she penned under her birth name, Marika Roth, is a harrowing account of how she escaped the horrors of World War II after seeing her father forced

by Nazi soldiers onto a cattle car. Through later research, Klein discovered that her father and Anne Frank were sent to the same concentration camp.

Hospital patients don’t hear her story.

“I’m not there to talk about me - I’m there to talk about them, and that’s the focus,” she said. “I don’t want to make them feel worse by talking about the Holocaust.

That’s not what I’m there for.”

When she’s not volunteering, Klein spends time writing screenplays and painting. She recently had her work on display at Edgemar Center for the Arts on Main Street, and she’s currently looking for another exhibit space.

But her role at the UCLA hospital, she said, offers her something that her professional life does not.

“I’m just there to make their lives more pleasant,” she said. “That’s the most satisfying thing I can do. Giving is also receiving. It makes me feel good when I do something that makes their life easier.”

because we felt that there were some very high hedges around town and, even if there’s a change in use, if we don’t have a cap on it then someone could come in and request a 25-foot hedge,” she said. “I’m thinking that’s something we’ve been trying to discourage.”

Council voted unanimously to make McKeown’s changes to the draft of the ordinance and to have city planners study the hedge cap. Council voted on dozens of potential changes at last week’s meeting but none of them were definitive. Council is scheduled to finalize the new Zoning Ordinance at their meeting on May 6, after city planners have made the more than 50 requested changes.

“I’m sympathetic to someone saying, hey, I don’t want someone looking at me,” Davis said of the hedges. “I live in a single-family home and people can look in on me all the time. It’s the nature of living next to someone and not in Iowa.”

“the ultimate impressionist, she does people’s souls.”

Police: LA Kings’ Jarret Stoll had cocaine, Ecstasy in Vegas Los Angeles Kings center Jarret Stoll is accused of having cocaine and Ecstasy with him when he was arrested on a felony drug charge at a Las Vegas Strip resort swimming pool, police said.

The 32-year-old Stoll was arrested Friday afternoon after security guards conducting a routine search to enter the MGM Grand hotel’s Wet Republic pool complex found what investigators believe to be 3.3 grams of cocaine and several capsules in the back pocket of his shorts, according to a police arrest report made public Monday.

Police are testing the powder and the capsules of what investigators suspect is MDMA, also known as Ecstasy. Combined, police put the value of the drugs at about $600.

Stoll’s lawyer, David Chesnoff, was unavailable Monday for immediate comment.

Chesnoff said Saturday he hoped the public wouldn’t prejudge his client.

Stoll was released on $5,000 bond late Friday from the Clark County jail in Las Vegas.

His July 1 court date in Las Vegas will be on the same day the 12-year NHL veteran becomes an unrestricted free agent.

Kings spokesman Jeff Moeller declined to comment Monday.

Stoll is a two-time Stanley Cup winner and has been dating Fox Sports reporter Erin Andrews since late 2012.

The Kings missed the playoffs this season, and players went home for the summer a week ago.

Police: Seal or sea lion pup abducted from Los Angeles beach

Warning!!

Whoever snatched a seal or sea lion pup from a Los Angeles beach early Sunday should not be fooled by the animal’s cuteness - they could suffer a vicious bite, an animal rescue expert said.

A witness to the abduction said four people wrapped the pup in a blanket and left in a car around 3:20 a.m. from Dockweiler State Beach, just west of the city’s international airport, said Los Angeles Police Officer Rosario Herrera. The witness said the two men and two women in their early to mid-20s were harassing and taunting the animal prior to the abduction.

The initial police report said the animal was a small seal. But a companion pup that escaped and was later found on the beach is a sea lion, according to Peter Wallerstein, the president of the group Marine Animal Rescue.

The rescued pup weighs about 25 pounds and is probably 10 months old, said Wallerstein, who stays in a trailer at the beach and was woken by security guards seeking his help. Sea lions of this size are “really small, really look cute, but they’re dangerous,” he said. “These are wild animals.”

They’re also not fit to be kept as pets.

“The animal needs fluids, needs special treatments,” he said. “You can’t just feed it dog food. It’s not going to work.”

The federal National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is investigating the abduction because baby sea lions are a protected species. Police began a cruelty to animal investigation.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE SANTA MONICA CITY COUNCIL FOR THE PROPOSED BIG BLUE BUS/EXPO SERVICE INTEGRATION STUDY Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held by the Santa Monica City Council at the Santa Monica City Hall, 1685 Main Street, Santa Monica, California, at its regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, April 28, 2015 for patrons of the Big Blue Bus. The hearing will be held as an agendized part of the City Council meeting, which starts at 5:30 p.m.

The City Council will consider the Expo Integration Plan (available at bigbluebus.com/expo) which seeks to capitalize on the opening of seven new rail stations in the Big Blue Bus service area. This is a significant change of conditions for a system that has served rail only at the periphery until now. Alterations of bus routes to attract new rail-to-bus transfers have the potential to increase ridership, make more efficient use of transit resources, and reduce overall levels of congestion. The Expo Integration Study includes extensive public outreach, a survey of existing conditions, and a recommended plan of action.

The primary objectives of the Plan are: creating first-and-last mile connectivity; more north-south corridor service to serve the stations; reducing redundancy with other transit providers; eliminating inefficient routing; improving speed and reliability; and maximizing resources; while acknowledging that current BBB service must continue to serve markets and customers that do not interface with Expo.

The revised plan includes an increase of approximately 9% in revenue service hours and associated costs.

Interested parties may comment in person at the hearing, or may submit written comments prior to the hearing: Big Blue Bus, 1660 7th St., Santa Monica, CA 90401, Attn: Community Relations, or by email at bus-info@bigbluebus.com. For additional information contact Suja Lowenthal, Government and Community Relations Manager, at 310-451-5444.

City Hall is wheelchair accessible. For disability-related accommodations, please contact 310-451-5444 at least three (3) days prior to the hearing. All written materials are available in alternate formats upon request. Big Blue Bus Routes 2, 3, Rapid 3, 3M, 4, 7, Rapid 7, 8 and 9 service City Hall and the Civic Center.

Sudoku Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column, and 3x3 block. Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle. The difficulty level ranges from (easiest) to (hardest).

GETTING STARTED There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing. Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work.

Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

■ Several theaters in Denmark reported in March that they had begun adding subtitles -- to Danish-language films, because so many customers complained that the dialogue was incomprehensible. Apparently, it is widely known that spoken Danish is harder to understand than the written, but Copenhagen’s website The Local reported that actors had rebelled at improving their diction, claiming that their “mumbling” adds “realism” to the films.

■ To most, the toilet is merely functional, but to brilliant thinkers, it can be the birthplace of masterpieces. Thus, the price tags were high this summer

SHEPARD

(2010) when commodes belonging to two creative giants went on sale. In August, a gaudily designed toilet from John Lennon’s 1969-71 residence in Berkshire, England, fetched 9,500 pounds (about $14,740) at a Liverpool auction, and a North Carolina collectibles dealer opened bids on the toilet upon which reclusive author J.D. Salinger spent many hours while at his home in Cornish, New Hampshire. The dealer’s initial price was $1 million because, “who knows how many of Salinger’s stories were thought up and written while (he) sat on this throne!”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tonight: Spend time with someone you admire.

★★★★ You often defer to someone else. This person has a very different style and perspective from yours, so be aware that you might not like the results. Make a point of understanding how a loved one feels, and try to identify with him or her. Tonight: Where your friends are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ You could get a little hot under the collar

★★★ Others could keep you going with

you realize. You have a way of expressing your caring that delights many people. You’ll express a lot of positive vibes, but if you hold in anger and frustration, you could encounter a problem. Tonight: Ask for what you need.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ Pressure builds if you are dealing with a friend who could do a last-minute reversal.

Do not mix business and pleasure. It also would be wise not to make a money agreement with this person. Keep some of your opinions to yourself. Tonight: Play it low-key.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: ★★★★★Dynamic ★★ So-So ★★★★ Positive ★ Difficult ★★★ Average

This year you open up to a new ability to see many options simultaneously, especially if they pertain to your finances.

You would be well-advised to test out the different possibilities with an expert. If you are single, look to meet someone who knocks your socks off any time from the end of summer on. If you are attached, you are looking at the possibility of a major update or change with your home. You enter a very romantic period come fall.

You won’t be able to get enough of each other. GEMINI is always full of humor and wit.

Each Tuesday, ‘Roxy’s Pet Peeves’ gives voice to friends-in-need

Roxy’s Peeve: We’re dogs, hear us bark!

Hey, Dawgs, Love barking about animal life each week, and perhaps have helped you ďŹ nd furry friends of your own.

But right now, I got a tick I need to scratch: Humans, please stop yelling at us when we bark. We don’t yell at you when you talk, do we?

Us doggies don't have the luxury of a human voice. Sometimes we gotta bark it out, ya know? It’s how we communicate. Don’t take that away.

Sam Davidson collaborated with Roxy.

Stanley Stanley is a sweet 4-year-old poodle mix. This non-shedding sweetheart is good with kids and great with other dogs too. Stanley would make the perfect addition to any home ready to give and receive unconditional love. Healthy, up-todate on vaccinations, neutered and microchipped ... This guy is ready for his forever home.

Peaches Sweet as a peach, she’s a super sweet and friendly senior girl with lots of love and life. She gets along great with other cats. She is a gentle, low-key lady who is looking for a warm lap and a gentle hand to pet her. She wants to sleep in warm patches of sunshine and have her chin scratched. Little Peaches came to the Stray Cat Alliance after her mommy died and now she needs a f o r e v e r home to call her own again.
