A new website from a former middle school geography teacher aims to help consumers navigate the political implications of their spending habits by tracking major campaign donations by corporations. The beta version of the website Ethiq launched Monday. “In essence, it’s a dating app but instead of matching you with men and women, it matches you with businesses that match your values,� said Darren Bates, the website’s founder and a 15-year Santa Monica resident. “It’s a way for people to have a voice each day in the political process without simply waiting to vote.� SEE VOTERS PAGE 7

RESCUE: Firefighters were able to rescue a man from about 30 feet below Palisades Park.

L.A. mayor eyeing White House tests political appeal in Iowa THOMAS BEAUMONT Associated Press
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, the Democratic leader of a city with 75 miles of coastline, immigrants from around the world and the Kardashians, is considering running for president in 2020. But first he would have to make it through Iowa. On a recent visit, he did his best to connect, playing up everything his city shares with the rural, overwhelmingly white voters. It was no easy task.

Santa Monica Firefighters rescued a young man who was spotted 30 feet down the side of the bluffs at Palisades Park Monday afternoon. Preliminary reports from the fire department said the man was trapped over the steep hillside. Once called to the scene, firefighters set up a high-angle rope-rescue system and brought the young man back up to the park, near Ocean Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard. Pictures from the scene via the Santa Monica Fire Department’s (SMFD) Twitter showed a fire truck backed towards the edge of the bluffs supporting the cable system to rescue the man. According to SMFD, it took 20 Firefighters approximately 32 minutes from the initial 911 call to rescue the victim who was then evaluated by paramedics for injuries and mental health status before being taken into custody by Santa Monica Police Officers. At time of rescue, officials were still unsure how the man was stranded on the side of the bluffs and why. Captain Patrick Nulty of the Santa Monica Fire Department said the man was
not cooperative with questioning. “Once firefighters got down there, the gentleman did get combative. He fought with the firefighters briefly,� Nulty said. Despite the man’s aggression, Nulty said SMFDs main concern with any rescue is to secure the victim and make sure they don’t fall or jump during a rescue. angel@smdp.com
In California's first incumbentfree race for governor since voters switched to a new primary system where the top two candidates advance regardless of party, nearly two dozen candidates are jockeying for a spot in the runoff, including five Democrats and two Republicans with deep pockets or experience in politics. For now, the contest is a race for second place. Democrat Gavin Newsom is widely viewed as the front-runner, better known and better funded than his rivals looking for one of two tickets to the general election. Newsom announced plans to run for governor in 2018 almost immediately after winning re-election as lieutenant governor four years ago and has been running ever since to replace Jerry Brown, who is barred by term limits from seeking a fifth term. “He's beaten his opponent to the punch, be it on ideas, be it on message, be it on money. Being first. Every Democrat in the race seems to be playing catch up to him,� said Bill Whalen, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and speechwriter for former Republican Gov. Pete Wilson. Voters adopted the top two-primary system in 2010 in an attempt to create a path for moderates to win elected office. It was first used in a gubernatorial race in 2014, when Brown ran for re-election. While the candidates will all be on the same ballot, they're speaking to very different voters. Democrats are debating who is best qualified to stand up for California against President SEE GOVERNOR PAGE 8

District Visual Arts Students Showcase Work at Annual Art Show Visual art produced by talented Santa Monica-Malibu Unified students will be showcased at the district's annual art show planned for Wednesday, May 16, at Santa Monica Art Studios from 5-8 p.m. The art show is open to parents, students and the community, with a requested donation of $10 to support visual arts throughout the district. The Kiwanis Club of Santa Monica is sponsoring this event as part of its commitment to children and teens in the community. Some 350 works of art will be displayed by secondary students attending John Adams Middle School, Lincoln Middle School, SMASH Middle School, Olympic High School, Malibu Middle and High School and Santa Monica High School. Art will include Drawings, paintings, printmaking, photography, film/video, sculpting, and ceramics. “We are so proud of our art students, teachers, and staff, for the hard work and vision required to create and install such a phenomenal exhibit,” Superintendent Dr. Ben Drati said. “This is a great opportunity to highlight the district’s visual arts curriculum and celebrate the accomplishments of talented student artists and teachers.” Drati thanked the Kiwanis Club for their ongoing support of SMMUSD students, as the organization continues its 96th year of service in Santa Monica. This year, the Kiwanis Club of Santa Monica will be awarding nine $250 scholarships totaling $2,250 to juniors and seniors in drawing, painting, photography, ceramics, pottery, digital design, film, video and digital photography. The artwork will be adjudicated by outstanding visual art professionals. Honorable mention ribbons will be given for other outstanding work. “Visual arts, as well as performing arts, is an incredible mainstay in Santa MonicaMalibu, and with good reason — we have so many talented student artists and instructors,” Santa Monica-Malibu Visual and Performing Arts Coordinator Tom Whaley said. “Our students truly exemplify talent and creativity and we are grateful to have this event highlight their achievements.” Entertainment for the art show will be provided by the Santa Monica High Jazz Combo and Novel Café will have food and beverages available for purchase.

Isaac Burgess IV Appointed New Malibu Pathway Director The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Board of Education approved the appointment of Isaac Burgess IV as the new Malibu pathway director at its May 3, regular board meeting. This new position, approved by the school board at the same meeting, will report to Superintendent Dr. Ben Drati and will be solely focused on the needs and concerns regarding the district’s four Malibu schools. He will be involved in short and long-term planning, operations and collaborating with all stakeholders in the community. “I am thrilled to join the Malibu community at such an exciting time for our students, staff, and families,” Burgess said. “I look forward to cultivating and fostering a collaborative environment which focuses on supporting our schools so that our students benefit from a collective focus to provide a 21st-century learning experience. I value the input and support from site leadership, teachers, staff, families, community and community leaders so that Malibu schools will continue to excel as our students are prepared and have the necessary skills to maximize their college and/or career opportunities.” Burgess has been a Santa Monica High School house principal since August 2017. He previously served as the principal of Morningside High School in the Inglewood Unified School District. Prior to moving to California, Burgess served in the Marion County Public Schools in Florida since 1997, where he began as a teacher and ascended to assistant principal of students services, assistant principal of curriculum and instruction, then principal of elementary, middle and high schools within the district. Burgess earned a Bachelor of Science, Magna Cum Laude, from Florida A & M University and a Master of Science in educational leadership from Nova Southeastern University in Florida. He is a United States Army Veteran, with an Honorable Discharge, and a member of the California Association of School Administrators. “Mr. Burgess fills the community’s interest in appointing a dedicated educational leader to serve as a liaison between the district, board of education and the Malibu community,” Dr. Drati said. “He will be a great addition to our Malibu team and responsive to Malibu interests and concerns. We congratulate him on his new position.”

at me: CALIFORNIA IS NOW WORLD’S 5TH LARGEST ECONOMY. My God, I thought, I remember when we were only the 7th. Amazing how times change. In those days when we were a much smaller economy, our population was about half what it is now. Those were the days of car license plates that had six characters. I recall as a boy being so excited when I first spotted a car that was sporting a seven character license plate with a number 1 leading. Little did I realize what that would actually mean for the future. As a turning point in our history it was a blip, but today when we are overcrowded, under-housed, and have a creaking infrastructure that is in dire need of attention, I look back on that moment and long for an earlier time. The constant upward pressure on our population is what is driving the housing market along with new regulations for construction that increase costs. In some ways this is a good thing for our state, in that we have a vibrant economy and clearly are a major force in the world to help drive social, environmental and economic improvements. California has been a leader in environmental regulation, much to the chagrin of the current President, but doing what is right is not always what’s popular. Because we pushed for smog regulations, the Southern California basin has become much cleaner. As our automobile regulations were enforced, the car manufacturers had to create better and cleaner cars for the country. I wrote years ago about how I think outlawing the “poo bags” that grocery stores used would be a good thing. Today, that is a growing trend where the disposable plastic bags and soon the plastic straw will be outlawed. California laws have pushed the boundaries and started great societal changes, from interracial marriage, abortion, gay rights, women’s equality, to employment law reforms, California has been a leader. Santa Monica has often been at the forefront of California with our own brand of social justice and environmental awareness. Because we are a beach community, we are more aware of the impact our actions have on the oceans and the environment. If you’ve ever participated in a beach clean-up day you will have many ugly memories of the amount and types of trash that washes from the city into the bay. And that’s not even including the illegal dumping that

probably happens from off-shore boats that we don’t see. Our little burg by the Bay should continue to push limits on environmental and social justice issues. Our city structure has commissions to tackle big issues and little issues. They are tasked with looking to the future and seeing the problems before they are problems and preventing them. I think our Recreation and Parks commission is one of our best commissions. Our city has an additional 19 boards and commissions not including the non-profit and district boards. We have Airport, Architectural Review, Arts, Building and Fire-life Safety, Housing, Landmarks, Personnel Board, Planning, Senior Community, Status of Women, Disabilities, Library, Social Services, Audit, Clean Beaches, Redevelopment Successor, Compensation, Task force on the environment, and my favorite Urban Forest Task Force. Frankly it seems like the only commission we are missing is a Men and Boy’s Commission. I know, I know, “what do we need a men and boy’s commission for?” I get asked that all the time. Well how about these issues: Suicide Prevention, Drug and Alcohol abuse, Domestic Violence when they are the survivors, Sexual Harassment issues, Emotional Intelligence training, and Equal Parenting time. Boys become men, in a society where more boys are failing in school, are not having their educational needs met and are suffering from a lack of male role models in the household perhaps we as a community should be looking at what we can do to improve the situation and services we provide our male children. Rather than simply punishing them mindlessly what if we were to address the underlying causes and conditions that are leading to their “bad behavior.” After all, they are tomorrow’s men. California will continue to lead the country and the world in better egalitarian, environmental and social justice ways, I think Santa Monica should continue to lead California in the issues we are looking to address and resolve. A Men and Boy’s Commission might be the next thing we need.

Santa Monica Cultural Affairs announces the winners of its annual Artist Fellowship program. The Artist Fellowship program is among the most robust, city-based, individual artist support grants in the U.S. and consists of two $20,000 Fellowships and three $4,200 Artist Project Fellowship awards. Each year, local Santa Monica-based artist are selected to receive these awards. This year for the first time, an artist team has been selected for one of the awards. John Malpede & Henriëtte Brouwers, Director and Associate Director, respectively, of the Los Angeles Poverty Department performance art group will receive one $20,000 fellowship. The second $20,000 fellowship has been awarded to artist Renée Petropoulos, whose public sculpture Bouquet (Flower Girl) Between Libya, the United States and Scotland is familiar to City residents who frequent Ocean Avenue near Olympic Drive. The three local artists who will receive $4,200 Artist Project Fellowships are: choreographer Suchi Branfman, novelist Laila Lalami, and playwright Tanya White. “To be honored by this generous fellowship sponsored by the City of Santa Monica in support of my work as an artist is overwhelming,” said Petropoulos. “I will be able to realize ongoing and new projects that I only imagined completing. First, to have a studio in the city near my home, and now, support for my work - this is extraordinary.” Now in its ninth year, the Artist Fellowship program recognizes artistic excellence, nourishes the production of new work from the world-class visions and voices of Santa Monica’s rich diversity, and reinforces our community’s high regard for creativity and innovation. The program launched in 2010 as a complement to the City’s arts organizational grant programs, in accordance with Creative Capital, the City’s cultural plan. Award amounts are designed to have impact in an arts community that must survive in the context of the City’s high cost of living. The 38 (and counting) recipients of the award are among the City’s most creative and innovative artists. Past recipients include filmmaker Meena Nanji; visual artists Lita Albuquerque, Alex Donis and Phyllis Green; choreographers Rudy Perez and Christine Suarez; theatre/film auteur Patrick Kennelly; novelists Mark Sarvas and Charles Yu; and many others. A panel of three arts professionals recommended the awardees to the Santa Monica Arts Commission for their approval. The panelists were Japanese-American Cultural and Community Center Artistic Director Hirozaku Kosaka, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery and Barnsdall Park Director Isabelle Lutterodt, and Asuka Hisa, Director of Learning and Engagement at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.

After logging into beta.ethiq.com, users answer a series of questions gauging their opinion on a number of politically divisive issues, including immigration, gun control, the environment, taxes and education. The website’s algorithm then ranks 60 national corporations like Arby’s, Dunkin’ Donuts and Del Taco to best match your values. Bates said tracking the money has been complicated and involved delving into decades of campaign finance disclosures from the Federal Election Commission and IRS 527 filings. Federal laws prohibit corporations from giving money directly to candidates, so Ethiq tracks ties between companies and officials through Political Action Committees. “There’s also this whole world of dark money,” Bates said. “It’s impossible to give a complete picture of how companies influence politics because so much of the money is untraceable.” Even when the money can be traced, contributions to competing parties and ideas can muddle results on the website. Some companies, like Trader Joe’s, appear to be neutral, with no traceable contributions to either party.

“Almost all companies seem to hedge. When you really look to the data you’ll see that companies give to Republicans and Democrats, maybe not evenly. They’re playing the long game,” Bates said. “This is not a black and white issue. They’re for the green, not for the red or blue.” Some cases, however, are easier for the average voter to parse. Ethiq found that Wal-Mart, for example, gave 73 percent of its total contributions to Republican parties and committees over the past 25 years, about $9.4 million. The site found In-N-Out Burger has given 100 percent of contributions ($70,000) to the California Republican Party. On the other side, Starbucks has given 73 percent of its total contributions to Democratic parties and committees, according to Ethiq. Bates said the website is non-partisan and can be used by consumers across the political spectrum. Bates, who taught geography at Paul Revere Middle School in Brentwood for seven years, said his new website is a way to get involved. “I’m just trying to present people with facts and then they can make educated decisions based on that,” he said. kate@smdp.com

Donald Trump. Republicans are relentlessly hammering taxes and immigration. Among Democrats, no issue has motivated the party's base like single-payer health care — a plan to provide government-funded insurance to everyone in the state. Newsom has staked out the left lane, aligning himself most firmly with single-payer supporters while his principal rivals — Antonio Villaraigosa and John Chiang — say they support the concept but insist Newsom is selling voters a fantasy with too many political and legal hurdles to pass anytime soon. Newsom, a former San Francisco mayor, has leaned heavily on his 2004 decision to issue marriage licenses to gay couples in San Francisco, which threw gasoline on a simmering culture war 11 years before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled gays and lesbians could not be barred from marriage. “I've got a record of taking risks. I've got a record of being bold, and I just feel like that's what you're going to need in your next governor,” Newsom said.“Not recklessness, but risk-taking.” An April poll by the Public Policy Institute of California showed Newsom with a commanding lead, supported by 26 percent of likely voters. Republican businessman John Cox was second at 15 percent, followed by Villaraigosa at 13 percent and GOP state Assemblyman Travis Allen at 10 percent. Chiang and former schools superintendent Delaine Eastin were in the single digits while 22 percent of voters said they were undecided in the survey of the 867 likely voters. It had a margin of sampling error rate of 4.4 percent. An accountant and former attorney who owns thousands of apartment units, Cox has emphasized his business experience and what he calls the corrupt influence of special interests. “The people running are a bunch of politicians,” Cox said. “And I think people want better management and a change in direction, and that's what I'm going to give them.” Villaraigosa, the former mayor of Los Angeles and state Assembly speaker, is focused on energizing Latinos, less affluent Democrats and unaffiliated voters struggling to share in the state's rising prosperity.

“You can't be the sixth largest economy in the world ... with the highest effective poverty rate,” he said. “We've got to address the high cost of living.” State Treasurer John Chiang promises sober-minded, no-drama competence, calling himself “the progressive who can balance a checkbook.” Chiang emphasizes his experience in all of California's elected financial positions — treasurer, controller and member of the Board of Equalization, which collects taxes and mediates disputes over tax bills. He also has jabbed at public adultery scandals that clouded the mayoral tenures of Villaraigosa and Newsom. “I'm not going to do anything to embarrass the office or the people,” Chiang said. Eastin, who served as state schools chief for eight years ending in 2003, has found enthusiastic support among supporters of Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign, who see an authentic candidate fighting hard for progressive priorities. Amanda Renteria, a former congressional aide and senior adviser to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, stunned observers as a late entrant to the race earlier this year in February. Renteria, who is Latina, said the state needs new faces and voices in leadership. Cox and Republican Assemblyman Travis Allen of Huntington Beach have relentlessly attacked a recent increase in the gas tax and California's “sanctuary state” law that restricts cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. The issues have energized the GOP base in a state where Democrats significantly outnumber Republicans, although Allen has taken the most aggressively pro-Trump stance. Both also backed competing efforts to repeal the gas tax approved by lawmakers. Allen's effort fizzled, while voters may decide on Cox's in November. The fight between Cox and Allen raises the prospect that the November contest could feature two Democrats — a first in California and a scenario that worries some Republicans who fear conservative voters may sit out the election if there are no Republicans in the highest profile races. That could hurt Republican U.S. House candidates.

Strange Brew
By JOHN DEERING
This will go down as one of your most prosperous years in all the ways that matter most. You'll put family first and you'll take care of your own, but community also matters to immensely, as you really feel that everyone is your family. Because of this focus on others, you'll be lavished in love and attention. Aries and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 50, 37, 24 and 19.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Every person you encounter over the course of this day is someone who needs to be there. It's all on track and as it should be. Maybe it's not how you would have planned it, but it's time to trust what is.
Observe the difference between what's smart and what's wise. Knowledge is not wisdom. The recitation of wisdom is not wisdom. Wisdom is a concentrated extract from a body of experience accumulated over time.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
You'll be first on the scene, first to get the memo, first to hear the whisper of a new idea, first to join in with the giggle of novelty. Being first comes with a choice that really affects the future — to share or not to share?
One of the hardest things you'll do is something that no one is asking of you: to socialize. It's an implicit expectation. Light interaction will be expected, even when you're not in the mood.
Agnes
By TONY COCHRAN
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) GEMINI (May 21-June 21) You like making people laugh. If they are smiling and having a good time around you today, you'll feel you've done your job. Anyone who thinks this doesn't count as work is dead wrong.
It's good for the whole group when the strongest are supported, encouraged and rewarded. However, the strong must never be prized above the weak, who have just as much to teach us, if not more.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You can see so clearly where a project needs to land, so work backward. Begin where you are and visualize to the best of your ability to do it to the extent that you can.
Friendships have highs and lows just like romantic relationships do, but without the pressure to get married or break up over it. Differences in sensibility and simple misunderstandings will be easily overcome.
Dogs of C-Kennel
By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your affirmation of the day: All is well and everything is working toward the highest and best. Repeat often, especially when things are not going according to your plan. Leos are lucky for you now.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Science doesn't lie, but it will often tell the story of the human being who executed it, funded it, and in turn, did so when needing things to go a certain way. When you get the proof, look for the proof behind that.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The truth has consequences that will be weighed against the consequences of lies. In other words, people will tell as much truth as they think they can tell without getting into trouble.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Maybe you need more money to finish what you started, but that's only part of it. “Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.” - Abraham Lincoln
Exponential Growth and Jupiter Opposition Growth of any kind is fascinating, but exponential growth is a truly amazing thing to witness. Impressive numbers occur early and developments soon become overwhelming. Alas, exponentials can't go on forever because they will take over all that is. The sun's opposition to Jupiter promises there will be an impediment, thank goodness.

MAYOR
WHAT TO WATCH
FROM PAGE 1
“Iowa and Los Angeles have much more in common than you might think, and it's not just because we have the USS Iowa parked in the Port of L.A.,” Garcetti said at a party dinner. WHY IT MATTERS
For more than 40 years, the Iowa caucuses have led off the two major parties' presidential nominating process. A surprising finish can reward the winner with momentum; Democrat Barack Obama proved that by beating Hillary Clinton in Iowa in 2008. Failing to meet expectations can mean an early beginning to the end; Democrat Howard Dean showed that four years earlier. Garcetti is the sort of candidate who could need Iowa. He has a minimal national profile and could use a burst of momentum to be considered in the Democrats' top tier. He's also fighting history. While former mayors have gone on to be president, no candidate has jumped straight from city hall to the White House. Mayors of other big cities such as New York and New Orleans also are thinking about the 2020 race and hoping their records in office might be enough. But the gap between urban and rural voters in the U.S. is wide, making their challenge considerable.
Will Iowans buy it? Los Angeles has a million more people than Iowa and packs them into one-tenth the area. It has the nation's busiest seaport. It could also be called the city of immigrants. For 139 countries, Los Angeles is home to the largest population living outside their homelands. In contrast, Iowa is landlocked and more than 80 percent white. Undeterred, Garcetti is playing up the similarities. He compares Iowa and Los Angeles as renewable energy leaders. “Los Angeles is the No. 1 solar city in America. Iowa is the No. 1 wind state in America.” True. “We're both manufacturing capitals of heavy equipment.” Also true. His moves are nothing new in a state where presidential prospects scrounge for any connection. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani once likened the nation's largest city, with more than 8.5 million people, to Cedar Rapids, population 131,000. Clinton, over the course of her two presidential campaigns, often told of her family's stay at the Tall Corn Motel in Davenport on a childhood road trip. It might have been an attempt to cast herself — wealthy, powerful and protected by the Secret Service — as just one of the folks.

Garcetti's take was that the differences don't matter. “It's false that people wake up and say, 'Oh, I'm a coastal person, I'm a heartland person,'” Garcetti told reporters during his visit. “We struggle with the same things here and we have the same victories.” His effort to link his work in Los Angeles to Iowa's small cities and towns is somewhat of a stretch. Immigration and trade, both big issues for Garcetti, are big in Iowa, too. The 47-year-old Garcetti noted that he's the great-grandson of a Mexican immigrant who brought his grandfather to Los Angeles as an infant. Today, Garcetti's grandfather would have been among those immigrant children living in the United States illegally but protected by the Obamaera Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program; Trump has threatened them with deportation. With that as part of his family's history, Garcetti has steadfastly opposed federal efforts to reduce “sanctuary cities,” municipalities like his that resist federal mandates to verify immigration status as part of routine police stops. He promoted his enactment of a $10 million legal defense fund for immigrants. Garcetti's is a popular position with Democrats in Iowa, angry about a new Republican-backed law enacted outlaw-
11
ing sanctuary cities in a state without any. Minority activists packed into the room in the Iowa Capitol, where GOP Gov. Kim Reynolds signed the measure just days earlier, and erupted into cheers at Garcetti's encouragement to take action.

Garcetti has a personal connection to Iowa. Garcetti's wife, Amy Wakeman, traces her family's roots to Iowa, as Garcetti said almost everywhere he went on his recent visit. Wakeman wasn't along for the trip, but was “so jealous because I'm going to all the places her family is from,” Garcetti told The Associated Press. He visited the Waterloo gravesite of Wakeland's great-grandparents and a memorial for her great uncle, killed in World War II. “Iowa is not just the geographic heart of this country, it's the moral center,” Garcetti said at the party dinner. “It's a place where decency and hard work still mean something.”
