The City will pay a $212,500 settlement to a former inmate at the Santa Monica jail who alleges she was a victim of excessive force by jailers in 2014. The incident happened late at night May 8 when two jailers were trying to fingerprint Louisa Ketron while booking her on domestic battery charges. All charges in the case against Ketron were later dismissed. “Miss Ketron, in the course of her booking, was hit by one of
the police department employees. She fell and she suffered significant facial fractures,” acting City Attorney Joe Lawrence said at Tuesday’s City Council meeting where members approved the settlement. The two jailers involved in the incident, Tony Greer and Michelle Dimas, are still employed by the City, according to Lt. Saul Rodriguez. While Greer continues to work in the jail, Dimas is now a guest services assistant, according to salary records from Transparent California. Rodriguez said Dimas no longer works in the jail “for rea-
sons unrelated to this matter.” “The City has denied and continues to deny that its employees used excessive force or took any other actions that were improper or actionable with regard to this matter,” Rodriguez said in a statement to the Daily Press. “However, the City believed that this settlement was in the City’s best interests, in substantial part to avoid extensive and more costly further legal proceedings including attorney’s fees.” According to court docuSEE SETTLEMENT PAGE 7
Local officer detained in Taiwan after TSA misses gun Associated Press
Federal officials say procedures were violated at Los Angeles International Airport when an offduty police officer boarded a flight to Taiwan with a handgun in her carry-on bag. The Daily News reports (http://bit.ly/2oZ2hj3) that Santa Monica Officer Noell Grant was barred from leaving Taiwan on April 13, after she entered the country with the gun that was missed by security at LAX. The Transportation Security Administration said in a statement that standard procedures were not followed, allowing Grant to pass through the checkpoint with a firearm. Grant, who traveled to Taiwan for vacation, was carrying a personal, not a department, weapon. Santa Monica Lt. Saul Rodriguez said Wednesday that Grant can’t leave Taiwan until the matter is resolved. He didn’t know if she has been charged with a crime there.

WANTED: The FBI is looking for a man suspected of robbing banks in New York and Los Angeles. The FBI and police on the east and west coasts are seeking the public’s assistance in learning the identity of a bank robber suspected to have robbed banks in New York and Los Angeles, officials in both cities announced recently. The suspect, known to law enforcement as the “Coast to Coast Bandit,” was most recently linked to a bank robbery at a Chase Bank on Monday, April 17, on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and two last month in New York City. The Coast to Coast Bandit has been linked to the following bank robberies: 4/17/17 Chase Bank 8140 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 3/9/17 Santander Bank 1062 3rd Avenue New York, NY 3/13/17 Chase Bank 450 3rd Avenue New York, NY The Coast to Coast Bandit is described as a white male who may have had a sunburn when he robbed the bank in Los Angeles on Monday, April 17, according to witnesses. The suspect was wearing a New York Yankees ball cap during two of the robberies in New York. During the most recent robbery, a victim teller advised that the suspect presented a note which threatened a gun and a knife. The suspect was last seen exiting the front door on Sunset Blvd. Anyone with information about the Coast to Coast Bandit is asked to avoid direct confrontation with the suspect, but is urged to contact their local FBI office or call 911. In Los Angeles, the FBI may be reached 24 hours at 888 CANT HIDE (888 226-8443). This investigation is being conducted by the New York City Police Department; Los Angeles Police Department; the FBI, and law enforcement partners as necessary. Bank surveillance photographs of the Coast to Coast Bandit are being provided to the media.

star, Bill O’Reilly, will not be returning. (Predicted here last Friday, making me 1 for 100.) Billo’s termination was due to his numerous sexual harassment settlements for $13 million and the loss of fifty advertisers in a week following a NY Times expose. Two weeks ago, Donald Trump, with no evidence, reflexively defended O’Reilly. But, then again, O’Reilly had always defended Trump in his many sexual harassment charges. (I’d say, “Birds of a feather” but it sounds too nice.) At the moment, it’s another Trump trait that worries me more, i.e. he doesn’t read. This leaves him remarkably ignorant. I find myself simultaneously laughing at Trump’s absurdity and petrified of what he will say or do next. Perhaps because he was a lifelong Democrat, Trump doesn’t even know about the Republican Party. This was evidenced in March at a RNC fundraiser. Apparently, Trump had just discovered that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican and was delighted, asking the room. “Did you know Lincoln was a Republican?” Inasmuch as many refer to themselves as members of “The Party of Lincoln”, the audience was bewildered. “Great president,” Trump continued, as though he was sharing a historical nugget. “We have to build that up a little bit more,” Trump rambled. “Let’s take out an ad. Let’s use one of those PACs.” Yes, that’s the ticket, Donnie, with talk of nuclear war in the air, let’s produce a TV commercial to tell the country Honest Abe was a Republican. To think we’ve gone from Lincoln to Trump. Borrowing from Mort Sahl, maybe Darwin was wrong. Another display of Trump’s ignorance was reflected in his commemorating “Black History Month.” Inexplicably, he never mentioned slavery but rather how well he had done with the black vote. (In truth, he got 8%.) It was obvious he also thought Frederick Douglass, former slave turned abolitionist, was still alive. “He (Douglass) is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more.” Those moments reflect the benign side of Trump’s ignorance. On the “downright dangerous” side was Trump’s statement in early April that “An American armada is steaming toward N. Korea.” He added, “There will also be powerful submarines,” which must have totally flipped out the military brass who wonder about their verbally incontinent Commander in Chief. By armada, Trump was referring to the U.S.S. Carl Vinson, which has been deployed in “Operation Desert Strike”and “Operation Iraqi Freedom.” Most recently, the body of Osama
Bin Laden, was buried at sea off the Vinson. Besides the inexcusable “submarine” gaffe, the biggest mistake was the Vinson was 3,000 miles away heading in the opposite direction! Frankly, I worry that Trump shows signs of dementia. I’m serious. His father, Fred, suffered from Alzheimer’s prior to his death in 1999. During a Fox Business Channel interview Trump went on in strange detail about the “most beautiful piece of chocolate cake” that he and Chinese President Xi had enjoyed at Mar-a-Lago.” (You and I paid for that dinner and the money goes directly in Trump’s pocket!) Moments afterward, Trump blurted out that he had “Launched 159 missiles into Iraq.” Stunned, interviewer Maria Bartiromo, interrupted, “You mean, Syria, don’t you?” So, we are left to conclude that, while Trump recalled every detail about the chocolate cake, he forgot which country he’d bombed. Or how about on the April 2 Executive Order signing ceremony in the Oval Office. Embarrassingly, the seemingly absent-minded, Trump simply walked out of the room having forgotten to ... sign the Executive Order! (Early signs of dementia?) For all his “balance the budget” campaign promises, at enormous taxpayer expense, Trump has essentially spent 5 minutes of every hour of his presidency at Mar-alogo.(Membership price has doubled, meaning more $$ in Trump’s pocket!) Or, how about the unbelievable hypocrisy of his “Buy American, Hire American” Executive Order when his own products are made in China or Mexico. Also disturbing is Trump’s twisted admiration for ruthless dictators, including: Putin, Saddam, Qaddafi, Kim Jung-un and Mussolini. On Tuesday he personally phoned Turkey’s autocratic President Erdogan to congratulate him on an election most observers feel he stole. But the “mother” of all of Trump’s lies may turn out to be his so-called tax audit. Despite countless promises to produce his returns, it appears Trump will never do it. (As I also predicted, making me 2 out of 100?) How did I know he was lying? His lips were moving. If there was no audit and Trump insists on breaking his many promises to produce his returns, it will have been a blatant con job. I hope the Democrats don’t cooperate on tax reform until Trump produces his returns. After all, if Bill O’Reilly wasn’t too big to fire, maybe the same can be said of Trump. For a laugh, hopefully, go to YouTube and type “Bill O’Reilly Freakout.” JACK can be reached at Jackneworth@yahoo.com.

The Family Law Division of the Los Angeles Superior Court has announced the launch of a pilot project which will provide an opportunity for those with family law cases to participate in court-sponsored Voluntary Settlement Conferences (VSC). The no-cost program is designed so that families of all economic status, including the self-represented community, can avail themselves of a resource generally available only to those who possess the financial resources to hire a private dispute-resolution professional as a means of accomplishing an early settlement of their case. “Free programs and services sponsored by the Court to help litigants meet, talk, and fairly resolve their differences with guidance from trained and knowledgeable personnel, are to be applauded,” said Betty Nordwind, executive director of the Harriet Buhai Center for Family Law. “This of course assumes adequate protection for victims of domestic violence who oftentimes lack equal bargaining power and are fearful of dealing directly with their abuser.” All family law case types are eligible to participate, including cases where one or both parties are self-represented. In order to be considered for the program, counsel and the parties acknowledge that they have all the information necessary to reach a full and complete settlement at the VSC. Even if the case does not settle through participation in the VSC, the process will result in a case that is appropriately prepared for trial, saving time and money for all involved. “This pilot project will provide mediation at an earlier point where there is the real possibility that the parties will still be able to protect and divide the assets which they have worked so hard to achieve and where there is the ability to protect their children from further acrimony of their parents, thereby allowing our Courts to do what is in the best interest of our children,” said Jody Bogen, chair of the family law section of the Los Angeles County Bar Association. “By providing trial judges as mediators for these families, there is the real possibility for settlement, especially when the litigants will be hearing from judges who actually hear all of their similar issues on a daily basis.” All VSC requests will be administered by the family law supervising judge in Department 2 at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse. If the case is deemed appropriate for VSC, the conference will be scheduled in one of the long-cause courtrooms located in the four courthouses listed below. When feasible, cases will be assigned to courtrooms based on geographic zones: the Van Nuys East Courthouse will service the Chatsworth and Michael D. Antonovich courthouses; the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse in Long Beach will service the Pomona, Santa Monica, and Torrance courthouses; and the Central Civil West (CCW) and Stanley Mosk courthouses will service all other courthouses and cases in which the parties are willing to travel to Mosk or CCW in downtown Los Angeles. Family law cases are heard at 12 courthouses located throughout the county and over 96,000 family law cases were filed in 2016. Family law filings include dissolutions (divorce), legal separations, child support, and paternity cases, as well as requests for domestic violence restraining orders. “The pilot program is the result of the collaborative effort of the entire family law division,” said Judge Thomas Trent Lewis, supervising judge of family law. “We are committed to finding new, innovative ways to optimize efficiency while providing a high degree of service to court users. It is important that the Los Angeles Superior Court ensure that access to justice is attainable for the entire community we serve, not just for those who are better situated economically.” Presiding Judge Daniel Buckley said “Our Court faces many challenges. Some of them require additional funding and some we are addressing through expanded use of technology. But by utilizing the greatest resource we already have, our roster of talented, committed judicial officers, we can increase our ability to assist with the fair resolution of these cases so people can move on with their lives.

Mayor Ted Winterer. Awards were given to local businesses that focus on sustainable economic development, excellence in social responsibility and excellence in stewardship of the environment. During the ceremony, Mayor Winterer said the judging process for this event went paperless for the first time, saving 14 pounds of carbon emissions. This year the award ceremony took place at Le Meridien Delfina Hotel. Not only did Le Meridien Delfina host the ceremony, they also won the award in Excellence in Social Responsibility. The award in Excellence in Economic Development went to American Cancer Society Discovery Shop. Award in Excellence in Stewardship of the Environment went to Back on the Beach Café, Beautycounter, Red Bull North America, Uplifters Kitchen and Water Garden. This year’s Grand Prize Winners were The Albright, Apogee Electronics Corporation, LivingHomes, and Santa Monica Place – Macerich. Julia Ladd, Assistant Vice President of Property and Management at Santa Monica Place – Macerich said, “On the social responsibility side we deliver through innovation and strive for excellence in every aspect of our projects.

Keynote speaker John Picard, known for his support of sustainable living, also received a warm welcome. Winners received an award trophy along with a stamp, showing their business is sustainable. The Chamber of Commerce along with their partners,the City of Santa Monica and Sustainable Works, said they hoped next year, more businesses will strive to live and work in a more sustainable environment.

Westside Food Bank to Host “Hunger in Our Community”, A Panel Discussion with Coffee and Cookies on May 5, 2017 BY MICHAEL GIRSBACK Development Associate, Westside Food Bank
Westside Food Bank invites the public to attend “Hunger in Our Community”, a panel discussion on local hunger, food insecurity and related issues on Friday, May 5, 2017 at 7pm. The event will take place inside Westside Food Bank’s warehouse, located at 1710 22nd Street, Santa Monica, CA 90404.

The discussion will center
around the continued record high local need for food assistance, its causes and repercussions, hunger and homelessness, food waste, health and nutrition as well as how public policy, businesses and nonprofit organizations can work together to address these issues. The Chef will draw on insight from his years of experience at St. Joseph Center, where he provided culinary training to people facing multiple barriers to employment and served as Executive Chef of its Bread and Roses Café, combining food provided by WSFB and other donated food to create nutritious gourmet meals for homeless people served in a restaurant environment. Mr. Call will provide expertise on advocacy and public policy plus a perspective on what we might expect in the
coming months and years. Mr. Rankin, with over 25 years as a leading innovator in hunger relief, will speak to the myriad factors that affect food security, the evolution of the safety net over time, and the strategies that are currently being employed to address hunger, health and poverty. Light refreshments will be served and a $10 donation is asked for admission. Space is limited and advance reservations are required. Come get a firsthand look at what hunger relief work looks like. Get the facts, get inspired, and learn how you can get involved.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 21)
By PETER GALLAGHER
Strange Brew
By JOHN DEERING
Wanting well is an art. You want the highest and best for all involved, not just yourself. The year is marked by an attitude of flexibility that will allow you to make the most of circumstances and use the energy available instead of fighting against it. New work comes in July. Romantic love plays out like a dream. Scorpio and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 50, 12, 14 and 32.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Recent stresses have you craving a little more reassurance that all is well. You may have to ask for it, as people will be so into their own parts of the story that they may not realize what others need and want.
The day is marked by an increased sense of purpose. Perhaps this is because many will be affected by your work. As you act on behalf of the group, you find success.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) TAURUS (April 20-May 20) In your mind, if relationships are a lot of work, it’s a sign that the fit isn’t good. Regardless, we can’t always choose with whom we’ll be interacting. Attaining new and better social skills will help matters greatly.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Meetings are on the agenda. They may not feel all that productive, but the point is to show up, see and be seen. This is about understanding the roles involved and the people who are going to play them.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) There’s a new project or person on your mind - how exciting and irresistible! You are convinced that you are better off pursuing this than doing what you used to do for fun.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A little complaining between friends or colleagues can be a bonding experience, venting the bad energy and uniting the team. But constant complaining just compounds negativity. Steer clear of it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Love is not something you can talk yourself into or create with an intellectual exercise. You may feel that you (SET ITAL) should (END ITAL) love, but don’t force the issue. It just doesn’t work that way.
Your vessel will be affected by the wind and currents, but you’re still ultimately the pilot of this ship. Grip the wheel and do your best with today’s stormy seas.
Agnes
By TONY COCHRAN
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The first step to restoring the peace in your world will have to do with temperance. Go easy; do the things that contribute to your health. If there’s a problem to clear up, you’ll have the strength for it today.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ve had the kind of life turning points that were unexpected and out of your control, but mostly change happens because you make it happen. And here you go again!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) It’s as though today pulls back the stage curtain just enough to give you a peek at what’s to come in a brand-new phase of your life. You’ll like what you see.
Dogs of C-Kennel
By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’re not always your best counselor. In fact, you wouldn’t even make the top-10 list today. Listen to many opinions. Right now, you’re too close to (yet also, oddly, somewhat naive about) the subject.
Zack Hill
Mars Moves in With the Twins Mars moves into the sign of the twins, where delightful distractions abound, trends catch on and pursuits involve quite a bit of talking to sort out. This isn’t considered a particularly productive transit -- a bit like a visit from the mischievous Thing One and Thing Two of “The Cat in the Hat.” Still, there’s fun in the chaos and a lesson, as well.
