WELLBEING INDEX:
A tale of five ZIP codes BY DAVID MARK SIMPSON Daily Press Staff Writer
Editor’s note: This is the third in a series of stories about the results of the Wellbeing Project’s index. The initial report is 142 pages long. Today’s story looks are the demographic breakdowns of wellbeing in Santa Monica. CITYWIDE Perhaps because it’s geo-
graphically hugged by the sprawling city of Los Angeles, Santa Monica is sometimes thought of as a unified space. On Monday, City Hall released data from its Wellbeing Project, which was paid for by a $1 million grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies, showing the great
diversity among the different ZIP codes, genders and types of people in the city. 90402, NORTH OF MONTANA NEIGHBORHOOD
The city’s ZIP codes don’t align perfectly with the city’s neighborhoods, but the 90402 code matches up largely with the neighborhood north of Montana Avenue. This area, which has the highest median age (48.6) and the wealthiest residents, showed the highest overall wellbeing. Residents of the oldest and wealthiest ZIP code tend to have positive things to say about many aspects of their life. SEE CODES PAGE 7
Santa Monica Samohi grad Festival turns brings board 24 this weekend game to life BY DAVID MARK SIMPSON Daily Press Staff Writer
Earth Encounters aims to provoke dialogue, action
City officials expect thousands to show up to this year’s Santa Monica Festival, which turns 24 on Saturday. The annual festival, which is free to the public but costs Santa Monica taxpayers $100,000, draws an average of 10,000 visitors to Clover Park at 2600 Ocean Park Blvd. from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. It started in 1991 on the Santa Monica Pier and moved to Clover Park in 1994.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS SMC
wanted to invent things. Taking things apart — radios, old cellphones, his Playstation — and putting them back together was a favorite pastime. At Verdugo Hills High School in Tujunga, CA, he played basketball and briefly considered becoming a professional basketball player — seemingly a fast way to make money to help his mom and five younger siblings - but ditched the idea at the realization that an injury would put an end to that career. He struggled with a lack of focus on his studies until a realization dawned on him. “I was the head of the household after my parents divorced,” he says. “And I realized that I wasn’t showing my brothers and sisters the best way to go about their education.” Okike-Hephzibah decided to use college as an opportunity to transform and came to SMC. He enrolled in business and computer science courses, his intended major but would find his true calling a year later, when a counselor referred him to SMC’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) program. Through STEM — a program which offers tailored academic support and research opportunities to under-represented students entering science and math-related fields, including a Summer Research
Fourth SMC student wins nation’s largest private scholarship for transfer students Santa Monica College student Jonah Okike-Hephzibah sat stunned on a chair in the campus’s quad — unable to say anything but “Oh my God!” — as he was told that he had won the prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Foundation (JKCF) Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship, the nation’s largest private scholarship for community college transfer students. Okike-Hephzibah, a pre-engineering major, is one of 90 recipients chosen from 2,061 applicants from 540 community colleges nationwide. Chosen by a selection committee of 18 admissions professionals, mostly from selective four-year institutions, he will receive up to $40,000 a year for up to three years towards his undergraduate education. This makes Okike-Hephzibah the fourth SMC student to receive the award in five years - previous recipients included Siamak Khakshoor-Kohan, Scott Pine and Stephen Olsen, who was the first SMC student to win the JKCF scholarship in 2011. While other boys dreamed of being superheroes, Jonah Okike-Hephzibah just

Bulletproof Santa Monica
PRESIDENT Ross Furukawa ross@smdp.com
PUBLISHER Rob Schwenker schwenker@smdp.com
LIFE IN THE BIG CITY OF SANTA MONICA IS
generally a stroll from one yoga place to a Pilates gym (they ARE different, I swear!) and then off to the beach to enjoy a beautiful sunset. Perhaps we get our nails done at any of the multitude of nail salons on Main Street or stop for a coffee (Decaf non-fat latte with Soy Milk) or get a “shot” at a juice bar (Wheatgrass with extra arugula please) on our way to get a colonic. There are any number of health and wellness spots in this city, for any number of adherents to the latest trends, fads and ‘final answers’ to long life and a healthy body. We have chakra healers, nutritionists — both macrobiotic and “normal,” body workers (not masseuses mind you — those are different) and just drop in to a Chamber of Commerce meeting and you are sure to meet at least one Reiki master. I don’t know what a Reiki master is, but I’ve got a lot of cards for them if I ever need one. But in the latest mashup of healthy living trends we have a new entry with some significant dollars behind their marketing and messaging. Bulletproof Café is opening soon, rumor has it as soon as next week. I was lucky enough to be invited to attend a VIP reception to sample their wares and chat with the management about what the buzz is about. The party started at 6 p.m. and there were already many people lined up to sample the magic elixir known as Bulletproof coffee. This is a mashup of coffee and butter, which at first blush I was kinda like, “Really? Butter in my coffee?” I had
visions of an oil slick somewhat akin to the Deepwater Horizon debacle. Not to worry, as well coiffed cater waiters dressed in black slid across the room with sample shots it looked like a mini-cappuccino with a dash of foam on top. Always up for something new food wise, I tipped the coffee back, fully expecting to get a mouth of oil and bitterness, but no, what I found was smooth coffee flavor. “The coffee is blended with the butter to form an emulsion that leads to a greater micellization of the caffeine which leads to a smoother buzz and the micellization helps with the … “ Said Samir Malik, assistant manager. He lost me at micellization, or it could have been his really sexy eyes, I’m not sure which. But we ended up chatting for a while about the store, integral philosopher Ken Wilber, and the story of Dave Asprey who founded the Bulletproof brand. “Our coffee is higher quality controlled and because we don’t have the micro-toxins that other producers have, we end up with a better product that is healthier and provides a more balanced buzz,” Malik continued. I didn’t really care about micro-toxins since I have no idea what they are, but he was so fun to talk to I just wanted the conversation to continue. As the cater waiters were making their rounds with canapés on wooden spoons we sampled a few of the items, I asked if they were going to be on the lunch menu, Malik said, “No these are just based on
the principles of Bulletproof nutrition.” Turns out there is an entire food grid that Asprey has worked out for what is good, bad and horrible for you. If you want to know what to eat, there’s a giant sign on the wall that outlines it all in color-coded format, and the room lighting is coordinated with the time of day to match a person’s circadian rhythm. Asprey comes from a tech background and decided to attack the health and wellness world with a unique approach, he’s a “bio-hacker” now, and while I can’t say that he’s right, I can say his coffee was delicious. It started from the Yak Butter Tea Asprey had while on vacation which lead him to his new lifestyle company. The Yak Butter has higher omega-3s and somethingsomething else, but the point is that this is not just any old butter, and neither is the butter that Bulletproof will be using. It comes from grass-fed cattle and is closer to the Yak Butter for the added Omega-3s. I’m not a total health nut freak, but I’m getting there. I enjoyed the party, liked the coffee, and will definitely be dropping in again to Bulletproof Coffee if only to see if Samir can seamlessly work micellization into another conversation.

Is It Too Late to Keep Santa Monica Affordable? TONIGHT, THE CITY COUNCIL WILL MAKE
decisions, the consequences of which will reverberate through this community for at least a generation, if not several. We only update our general plan about once every 30 years and with it, our zoning standards, which determine how our city will grow and change over the coming decades. Much good work has been accomplished over the past months on the proposed zoning ordinance update. The Planning Commission, City staff, and the City Council have shown great leadership, thoughtfully weighing the many different voices of the community and creating a future zoning code that addresses the many needs of our city, from allowing early childhood education to flourish, to making space for our local businesses to thrive, to assuring our valuable historical buildings are preserved. We support the zoning ordinance update as it has been proposed and we urge the Council to move forward with it. However, why are we entertaining dramatic amendments to our five-year-old Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE) that will significantly reduce our options for desperately needed market-rate and subsidized housing? The LUCE, as it was adopted in 2010, was the result of six years of discussions, community engagement, and thoughtful planning. We, as a community, agreed then that in order to preserve our neighborhoods and existing affordable housing, we would encourage much needed new homes to be built along our underutilized commercial corridors by allowing four-to-five stories (Tier 3) of housing, subject to discretionary review. Now, we are discussing throwing out that tool, which we had hoped to use to help keep Santa Monica an affordable place to live for future generations. It
remains unclear why we are considering this. We are already seeing a rise in the amount of rent-controlled homes we are losing due to the Ellis Act, which allows landowners to go out of the rental business. The proposed LUCE amendments, by making it more difficult to put new housing on the boulevards, would only further exacerbate the looming crisis, pushing market pressures into our neighborhoods. Why would we take options off the table at the time of a historic housing crisis? Any housing projects of these heights — that is, four-to-five stories — along commercial boulevards would be subject to discretionary review by the City Council and Planning Commission. If it’s a sudden rash of growth we fear, the Council will ultimately have final say over any major projects. We should err on the side of housing. If we get too many applications for these mid-rise projects, then we can downzone easily. If we have approved enough housing, no one will object to downzoning. While the Council is considering eliminating the option of new market-rate homes at Tier 3 standards, the changes would still allow 100 percent affordable housing to be built to the taller standards. Santa Monica absolutely needs more such projects, but only allowing 100 percent subsidized affordable housing to be built ignores the need for housing for the middle class who, increasingly, can’t find housing in Santa Monica they can afford and would not qualify for subsidized housing due to income requirements. Additionally, it may be a while until the City can help finance any 100 percent affordable housing, since our housing fund has run dry. If there is some market rate housing built to the Tier 3 standards, we would be able to negotiate for subsidized units
in private developments. The market rate homes help to subsidize the inclusionary units. Allowing the option for mid-rise, four-to-five story apartments would not only give us an extra story or two of new housing, but the ability to negotiate these projects remains our best hope of getting affordable housing in the immediate future until we can find some way to fund our nonprofit housing developers like Community Corporation of Santa Monica. Additionally, what of our responsibility to the region? When we don’t build housing here, it has ramifications throughout the region, not least of all the environmental impact caused when we force people who work here to drive miles everyday because they cannot afford to live here. (“Bounded Social Justice”) Los Angeles County desperately needs housing and Santa Monica has in recent years made admirable efforts to provide its fair share for all income levels. We expect to add about 5,000 new homes by 2030 under the LUCE projections. We need not to be making it harder to reach this modest goal, driving up housing costs even higher and effectively locking the gates to our city for all but the wealthy “1 percent.” In short, we need flexibility in planning our city’s future. While there has been a laudable effort to preserve some opportunities for Tier 3 projects along our commercial boulevards, the proposed amendments, combined with the loss of any significant housing options in the Bergamot Area, would gut the LUCE and only put up further barriers to our ability to provide a sustainable, affordable city for future generations.

Mothers Day
YOUR CHOICE
Editor:
We all look forward to this Sunday, May 10, when we celebrate Mother’s Day and the cherished bond between mother and child. Ironically, dairy cows — world-wide symbols of motherhood — never get to see their babies. The newborn calves are torn from their mothers at birth and turned into veal cutlets, so we can drink the milk that nature designed for them. The distraught mothers bellow for days, hoping for their return. Most cows spend their lives chained on a concrete floor, with no access to the outdoors. Each year, they are impregnated artificially to keep the milk flowing. When their production drops, around four years of age, they are turned into hamburgers. This Sunday, let’s honor motherhood and our natural compassion by replacing cow’s milk and other dairy products, all laden with fat and cholesterol, with delicious, healthful, cruelty-free nut or soy-based milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. These are available in every supermarket. Mother cows, and our own bodies will be most grateful.

home, he’s responsible for taking care of his younger siblings,” said Nauli. “Needless to say, Jonah is an extremely disciplined and focused person to do all this.” Bocanegra said that the JKCF scholarship could not have gone to a more deserving person. “Jonah is a strong role model at Santa Monica College,” said Bocanegra. “He is engaging, accomplished, and most importantly, approaches his work with a determination that is truly inspiring.” Okike-Hephzibah plans on majoring in robotics, after finishing his undergraduate studies in mechanical engineering. He has been accepted into the University of Michigan, and is waiting to hear back from Stanford University, Columbia University, Cornell University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). “Jonah embodies what SMC strives for — excellence with responsibility,” said SMC President Dr. Chui L. Tsang. “Here is a young man motivated by deep love for his family, who is willing to work hard to fulfill his own dreams. With students like Jonah, the world will truly be a better place.” SMC Transfer Center Faculty Leader Dan Nannini points out that four JKCF scholars in five years is a testament to the willingness of SMC’s instructors to go the extra mile to support students - the application requires them to submit thorough, thoughtful recommendations. “The Cooke Foundation is proud to be one of the few organizations that focuses on high-performing community college transfer students with financial need by providing the largest private scholarships to this population of students,” said JKCF Executive Director Harold O. Levy. “We do this not only because of the lack of scholarships available for them but also because they bring so much to their four-year campuses - performing as well if not better than the students who started at those institutions as freshmen.” As for Okike-Hephzibah, he knows where he will be in, say, a decade - either finishing a dissertation at MIT or working at a place like engineering and robotic design company Boston Dynamics. “When I was a boy, I dreamed about creating a super ‘geeked-out’ driverless car, with a robot-butler that takes care of everything,” he says.

Big surf kept rolling ashore Monday along south-facing sections of the Southern California coast after bodysurfers challenged the towering waves over the weekend and lifeguards were kept busy pulling people from the water. The highest surf was expected Monday, with some sets reaching more than 12 feet along beaches in Orange and San Diego counties and 10 feet at Malibu and Zuma in Los Angeles County, the National Weather Service said. Lifeguards at the Wedge in Newport Beach, a famous surf spot, reported 15-foot waves Monday afternoon. Six- to 8-foot waves were recorded at Santa Monica with slightly higher surf in Venice. A high-surf advisory remains in effect through Tuesday. Cloudy weather kept crowds at bay at Newport Beach, which saw 55,000 visitors over the weekend. Even so, more lifeguards were on duty Monday than usual because of the expected surf, said Newport Beach Chief Lifeguard Rob Williams. The rough conditions extended north along the coast to San Luis Obispo County. Avalon, Port San Luis, San Simeon and Cayucos could see currents capable of dislodging moored vessels and docks, forecasters said. “Inexperienced swimmers should definitely stay out of the water,” Seal Beach police Sgt. Ron LaVelle said. Lifeguards pulled 17 people out of the water over the weekend off Newport Beach. It was the busiest weekend for lifeguards since March when 134 people were rescued during a weekend of big waves and warm weather. The high tides have been caused by a Southern Hemisphere storm. The conditions caused minor flooding Sunday night along beachfront homes in lowlying Seal Beach. Water washed up over the boardwalk, but there was no property damage. Lifeguards were filling sandbags on Monday and planned to dig trenches to divert water from the lowest spots of the beach. - AP

Mall operator Macerich said Monday it settled a proxy fight with two investment funds, and will nominate two new directors to its board while dropping a “poison pill” measure that helped it stave off an attempted takeover. Macerich Co. adopted a shareholder rights plan in March, after larger competitor Simon Property Group Inc. offered to buy the company for $16 billion, or $91 per share. The plan was designed to help Macerich defend itself against a takeover, and it was scheduled to expire in 2016. The company also said it will “declassify” its board of directors by 2016, meaning all of the directors on the board will stand for election at the same time. The Santa Monica, California-based company said co-founder Dana Anderson and director William Sexton will resign from the board after its annual shareholder meeting, and the company will nominate John Alschuler and Steven Hash for election to the board. Alschuler is the chairman of HR&A Advisors, a consulting organization that focuses on economic development, real estate and public policy. Hash is president and COO of Renaissance Macro Research and is former head of real estate investment banking for Lehman Brothers. The firm Land and Buildings Investment Management said in March that it planned to nominate four candidates for election to Macerich’s board. Macerich argued that Land and Buildings wasn’t eligible to nominate candidates, saying shareholders could only vote and own stock if they had owned shares as of March 20. The two sides were taking the dispute to court but Macerich said Monday that it is withdrawing its litigation. A second fund, Orange Capital, supported Land and Buildings Investment Management. The funds wanted Macerich to create a special committee to consider strategic options that would increase shareholder value and have talks with Simon. Simon eventually raised its offer for Macerich to $16.8 billion, or $95.50 per share, but ended its effort in April after it was rebuffed. Macerich has 51 shopping centers in its portfolio, including Tysons Corner Center near Washington, D.C., and Queens Center in New York City. Its shares added 30 cents to $82.80 in afternoon trading. - AP

Google tractor-beams Star Wars universe into Knowledge Graph Star Wars fans no longer have to search their feelings to discover the truth. They can just Google it. The search engine and the Lucasfilm movie franchise said Monday they have put information from the Star Wars universe into Google’s Knowledge Graph, the first time for a fictional universe. The Knowledge Graph answers direct questions, either typed on a computer or spoken into a mobile device. After typing, “Who is Luke’s father?” for example, Google now presents the answer, Darth Vader, in a box that offers a short summary with clickable links for more information. The tie-up was announced on what is known to fans as Star Wars Day - May 4, as in May the Fourth Be With You - and is part of the build up to “Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens,” to be released in December. - AP

CODES FROM PAGE 1
What’s lacking? They use community and public spaces with far less frequency than other neighbors and they are the least confident in their cooking abilities. 90403, WILSHIRE-MONTANA NEIGHBORHOOD
The 90403 area, which is just south of the previous ZIP code and roughly covers the neighborhood that runs between Montana Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard, scored better than any other neighborhood in the health portion of the Wellbeing Index. Residents use a lot of outdoor space. They eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. They bike a lot. Economic worries are also significantly lower in this area, but people work a lot. Far more people in this ZIP report working long hours than any of the other parts of the city. 90404, MID-CITY AND PICO NEIGHBORHOODS
The ZIP code to the southeast, 90404, is an amalgam of the Pico and Mid-City neighborhoods. It has the lowest median age (38.2) and its residents are struggling the most to maintain a high level of wellbeing, according to the index. “This zip code also performs worst on community, health, and economic opportunity,” the Wellbeing Project report states. “The largest gaps can be seen in terms of satisfaction with home, many of the community variables such as trusting people and belonging to neighborhood, use of outdoor space, fruit and vegetable consumption, physical activity, and credit card debt.”
This neighborhood ranks second in the amount of residents that attend classes, have confidence in their ability to make repairs, and walk to work. 90401, DOWNTOWN
Downtown, which roughly aligns with the 90401 ZIP code, had the worst scores among economic and community-based factors. Residents of Downtown trust their neighbors the least, felt least comfortable borrowing from neighbors and feel the least satisfied and secure in their jobs. Downtowners were most satisfied with the cultural events, businesses, and nightlife in the city, and they were the least likely to drive. They are the most likely to eat five or more fruits or vegetables a day, but many respondents also said they eat no fruits or vegetables. 90405, OCEAN AND SUNSET PARKS
The southernmost ZIP code in the city, 90405, scored the highest in the index focused on learning. “The zip code ranks highest on many indicators in the community and learning dimensions,” the report states, “including stopping and talking to neighbors and being able to count on them and borrow things from them (though it comes in second to 90402 in terms of trust and belonging), number of classes attended, confidence doing repair jobs, and satisfaction with events such as community events.” The neighborhood, which is home to the Santa Monica Airport, made the second most complaints about noise. dave@smdp.com

The Annenberg Community Beach House, famous for their cardboard boat regatta, will lead host a boat-building station. Most attendees are from Santa Monica or the Westside, according to data from City Hall. A majority of the audience is families with young children or young adults under the age of 35. The event is produced again this year by Community Arts Resources, which also produce Chinatown Summer Nights and the Getty Museum Family Festival. They produced the festival last year and are poised to receive $100,000 over each of the next three years to produce the festival, for a potential total of half a million dollars. This year’s Family Bike Hub, which, as usual, features bike skills courses and instructional clinic, has a new addition: Breeze, the city’s incoming bike share system. Attendees can try out the bikes that will be a part of the Breeze, which is expected to open before the Expo Light Rail does. Back this year is the reDiscover Center’s Cardboard Playground.

“This area is stocked with a mindboggling assortment of everyday ‘loose parts’ like cardboard boxes, fabric, and other openended materials to allow limitless play where the only boundary are those of the imagination,” event organizers said of the playground. The Treeman, an eco advocate super hero, dressed to look like a tree, will be riding the Big Blue Bus’ Route 8 (which is free with an online coupon during the festival) at 11:30 a.m. Also free is the bike valet and area parking. A whole slew of vendors will be serving food from trucks, carts, and stands while the Santa Monica Farmers Market hosts its Culinary Stage, featuring local chefs and culinary experts with tips on easy, healthy, and affordable cooking. And then there’s the music. The Ocean Stage has a brand new lineup this year, including the two-time Grammy-winning Mariachi Divas, an all-female band from Los Angeles. After the divas is Angelou, which, according to event organizers, combines “the Zulu harmonies of Paul Simon’s Graceland and gritty delta blues.” Quitapenas blends Afro-Latin music with California sounds. And closers, Halau Keali’i O Nalani will bring songs and dances from the Polynesian Isles. dave@smdp.com

Internment art to be displayed at California museum KRISTIN J. BENDER Associated Press
A California museum has acquired an art collection created by Japanese Americans held in internment camps after an East Coast auction house canceled the sale of photographs and other artifacts amid protests. The Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles will display the collection of art done by people of Japanese descent who were imprisoned over fears that they were spies. Roughly 120,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated at 10 relocation camps after the Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. “The mission of the Japanese American National Museum is to share this story,” said museum President and Chief Executive Officer Greg Kimura. “We honor the sacrifice of our forebears who suffered to prove their loyalty to the U.S. by ensuring that such Constitutional violations never happen again.” The collection includes nameplates carved from wood that were once attached to tar-paper barracks, watercolor and oil paintings, wood animal sculptures, wooden furniture and black-and-white photographs of residents in their daily lives. The art and artifacts will become part of

the museum’s permanent collection, which includes more than 100,000 items. Museum spokesman Ben Mann said there are no plans yet for an exhibition specifically featuring the internment items, though that is a possibility. The John Ryan family of Connecticut had the artifacts for many years before turning to the auction house last fall to help find the most appropriate home, said David Rago, founding partner of Auction Center. However, the auction was canceled amid backlash and protests. Internees gave the collection to historian Allen H. Eaton while he was researching his 1952 book, “Beauty Behind Barbed Wire: The Arts of the Japanese in Our War Relocation Camps.” Eaton’s daughter sold the lot to the Ryan family. The announcement about the exhibit came during the museum’s annual gala dinner, which honored Star Trek actor and activist George Takei with its Distinguished Medal of Honor for Lifetime Achievement and Public Service. A young Takei and his family were among those incarcerated during World War II. “All of us can take to heart that our voices were heard and that these items will be preserved and the people who created them during a very dark period in our history will be honored.” Takei said in a statement.

ON APRIL 24 AT APPROXIMATELY 11:10 P.M. An officer was dispatched to the 1800 block of 16th Street in response to a vandalism that had just occurred. The reporting party stated that two males and one female driving in a silver car pulled up to the rear of his house, began yelling profanities at a rival gang member and proceeded to use a hammer to smash the rear window of his mother’s car. The witness stated that upon seeing what was going on, he approached the suspects and told them that this was not the car of the person they were looking for. After being confronted, the suspects entered the car and drove away. The witness was able to provide a license plate number that was similar to the suspects’ car and he also stated that he recognized the female suspect from school. Officers on patrol spotted a car matching the description of the suspects’ car traveling in the 1600 block of Lincoln Boulevard, at which point officers began to follow the vehicle. The suspects’ were later apprehended in the 200 block of PCH. Arrested for vandalism and a gang enhancement were two juvenile suspects and Javier Martinez, 25 of Inglewood. Bail was set at $60,000.

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.

■ Raising Our Most Delicate Generation: In preparation for the National Union of Students Women’s Conference in Solihull, England, in March some attendees requested that clapping for any of the speakers be discouraged, but that approval from the audience be expressed by “jazz hands” — open hands, palm directed to the stage, and the fingers extended wildly. Using “jazz hands” would show compassion for attendees who have anxiety and other disorders, and for speakers who might be distracted by the din of approval. ■ Venezuelan women’s well-known obsession with bodily beauty usually focuses on face, breasts and buttocks, and model Aleira Avendano has certainly had those surgeries. However, Avendano’s signature feature is her 20-inch waist, which
SHEPARD
she says has been maintained by wearing an absurdly tight corset for 23 hours a day for the past six years. “I wash myself and rest for an hour, and then I put it on again. At first, it was terrible, then I got used to it, and (it) became a necessity.” ■ In June (2010), the roller coaster at the Funtown Splashdown in Saco, Maine, unexpectedly came to a halt, stranding riders for all of 15 minutes. A reportedly “furious” Eric and Tiffany Dillingham said later that their 8-year-old daughter was so frightened that she had to be taken to a hospital and had nightmares constantly since then, and a lawsuit was a possibility. (Since the purpose of a roller coaster ride is to induce fright, it was not known whether “hospital visit” and “fury” would also have ensued if the ride had been working perfectly.)

The Meaning of Lila
By John Forgetta & L.A. Rose
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 multitude of possibilities. Taking risks happens more naturally for you than it has in the past. Your sense of humor emerges more often than not, allowing you to gain a unique perspective. Others are drawn to you. If you are single, a relationship could make a big difference in what goes on. A special person might enter your life as soon as September or as late as mid-2016. If you are attached, the two of you open up to a more dynamic bond. Often there are serious moments and discussions involved. Be sensitive and caring with each other. SAGITTARIUS has a way of bottom-lining issues.

Each Tuesday, ‘Roxy’s Pet Peeves’ gives voice to friends-in-need
Don’t tread on me! With Sam Davidson Hey, rascals, Cats and dogs don't always see eye to eye, but we're all cute creators looking for a home. Whether you’re looking for a pretty girl like myself to cuddle with at night, or a sweet feline who makes you feel like the most important person in the world, you're in the right place.
Kyle
Before I bring out my friends, I got a peeve dogs and cats can agree on. Watch where you're walking. Seriously, humans, being stepped on isn't fun. It not only hurts our tails, but our feelings too. We get that you walk on two legs, but we’re on the carpet. Have respect.
Kyle is a gorgeous young man with the most mesmerizing amber eyes to steal your heart. Kyle was rescued by a Stray Cat Alliance volunteer while wandering around in an auto mechanic shop. He is now a young adult cat and has become quite the gentleman. He loves to have his cheeks and chin scratched and lto play with feather wands.
Honey is a good girl who always has a smile on her face. Just look! She is friendly with people, kids and most dogs when introduced p r o p e r l y. H o n e y k n o w s h e r commands and is great on leash. She is a graduate of K9s Only —meaning she comes w i t h a lifetime warranty! Need a refresher in training? Honey will always be welcome.
