MAIN STREET This Sunday, the 15th Annual Summer SOULstice returns to Main Street for a day of live music, shopping, restaurants and bars. The 2015 SOULstice features 24 bands on six different stages located on streets off of Main Street, as well as accompanying sidewalk sales from some merchants and an entertainment area for children. What has become a summer tradition began in 2001 as an idea to use the area’s outdoor spaces to provide entertainment for visitors to Main Street’s Farmer’s Market. Gary Gordon, the Executive Director of the Main Street Business Association, recalled the festival’s humble beginnings of a “six or eight channel amp

lone dissenting vote, but several of the affirmative voters expressed reluctance, given the public testimony. City planners noted in their report to the commission that there’d never been any official SEE CHILD PAGE 5
California vaccine bill clears major legislative hurdle JULIA HOROWITZ Associated Press
SACRAMENTO California’s Assembly on Thursday approved a hotly contested bill requiring that nearly all public schoolchildren be vaccinated, clearing one of its last major legislative obstacles before the measure heads to the desk of Gov. Jerry Brown.
The bill aims to increase immunization rates after a measles outbreak linked to Disneyland in December sickened over 100 people in the U.S. and Mexico. It would give California one of the nation’s strictest vaccine laws by striking the state’s personal belief exemption. Only children with serious health issues would be allowed to opt out of mandatory
vaccine schedules. Unvaccinated children would need to be homeschooled. If the bill becomes law, California would join Mississippi and West Virginia as the only states with such strict requirements. “Do we wait until we have a full-fledged crisis to protect the SEE VACCINE PAGE 6

Santa Monica’s solid sustainability Mayoral stance Editor:
Our 2006-2007 County of Los Angeles Civil Grand Jury assayed the status and intent with regard to sustainably, enveloped within a questionnaire to all 88 cities within the County, and the County itself. Findings evinced the City of Santa Monica to be exemplarily far ahead of all. Most cities were doing little or nothing except awaiting a hoped-for future federal or state government grant. As Chairman of that Committee report, and a private citizen, I again praise Santa Monica for its strong continuing sustainability position and action in encouraging the Mayors and President of our nation.
James Corbett Tasker Santa Monica
PYFC debate Editor:
At the heart of this debate over funding of the Pico Youth and Family Center lies the fundamental question. How do we turn lives around? Is it through isolated skill training on how to fill out a job or college application, or is it through a more familial setting in which young people are given those resume-writing skills while also encouraged to become leaders in their community, challenge the status quo, and rock the boat? The City wants a gang intervention model that is more sanitized, less politicized, and teaches skills separate and apart from issues related to equity and ethnic pride, poverty versus privilege, but this begs the question: Can such a model, one devoid of social action, ever succeed with the most disengaged youth, those with the greatest need for relevancy? Doubtful. Young people most likely to drop out of school and into the criminal justice system need a strong anchor, and there is nothing stronger than a sense of self-efficacy. I can do this. I can change the world.

A Man of Conviction AT 35, THE LATE VINCENT
Bugliosi was the tireless prosecutor in the successful Manson family murder trial. He would also become a NY Times best-selling author many times over, including Helter Skelter, the most popular true crime book in history selling over 7 million copies. Sadly, on June 5th, Bugliosi died after a yearslong battle with cancer. He was 80 and left behind his wife of 59 years, Gail, and two adult children. For the past seven years I was proud to have known him. Bugliosi’s talent and ethics were best summed up by legendary defense lawyer and Harvard professor, Alan Dershowitz. “If I were on trial and guilty,” Dershowitz said, “there’s no prosecutor I would fear more than Vincent Bugliosi. But if I were innocent, there’s no prosecutor I would welcome more.” I first crossed paths with Vince in 2008 when I noticed that he had written The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, which was due out soon. Intrigued by the title, I immediately contacted the publisher to review it. Curiously, they
seemed surprised by my interest. Only later would I find out why. In the meantime, I soon received a copy of Vince’s book and couldn’t put it down. Bugliosi contended that Bush intentionally deceived the country into the Iraq War. After copious research, Vince postulated that, assuming a fallen soldier had lived in their jurisdiction, any of the 50 state attorneys general, or any county D.A., had legal grounds to indict Bush for murder. “At this stage of my life, I would not risk my reputation on something I wasn’t 100% sure had legal merit.” The strongest evidence against Bush, according to Bugliosi, was an October 7, 2002 speech claiming that Iraq posed an imminent threat to the security of the United States. A National Intelligence Estimate a week earlier stated almost the opposite. Bugliosi further claimed the Bush administration purposely deleted sections of the declassified version of the NIE released to Congress. In the book Bugliosi also castigates Bush for his cava-
lier attitude regarding the death and suffering of American Soldiers. After eight years as president, he quotes Bush as saying, “Laura and I had the time of our lives,” as though they had been to Disneyworld. Shockingly, Bush also said to Iraqi troops to “Bring it on.” And lastly Bugliosi points out that W. spent two and a half years of his presidency on vacation at Camp David and the Crawford ranch. Shortly after my review appeared, I was told Vince phoned the Daily Press looking for me. I gulped, “Why?” I instantly assumed I’d made some factual errors, “Tell Bugliosi I never even met Charles Manson.” Finally, I returned his call, albeit nervously. Bugliosi immediately praised my courage. “You were the only mainstream journalist in America with the guts to review the book.” I tried to explain that it wasn’t “guts” but rather a dislike for Bush, but Vince forever insisted I was courageous. This was the start of a seven-year mutual admiration. When the “Prosecution of George W.

Bush” was made into a documentary, The Prosecution of an American President, I reviewed it enthusiastically. Vince and I even shared a passion for tennis. He was a high school state champion and received a tennis scholarship to the University of Miami. Small world, when I was commissioned to write a column about Gardner Mulloy, the 100-year-old former U of Miami tennis coach, Vince had his home phone number. He referred to Mulloy as “Tennis royalty,” which actually became the title of my article. Now, items Vince would have appreciated my noting. One, even though no newspaper, including the NY Times, reviewed or even took his ad money, The Prosecution of George. W. Bush sold 130,000 copies in the first three months. Two, Vince accepted that no matter how great his other accomplishments, he would always be remembered as the Manson prosecutor. “Those murders were probably the most bizarre in the recorded annals of American crime, so I understand.”

with two speakers on poles.” As the event has grown, said Gordon, organizers are always searching for ways to improve it. One goal is to better engage with social media. This year, visitors can enter an Instagram contest with a chance to win a bike by taking and uploading their photos. The feedback from merchants and residents living near Main Street has been mostly positive, said Gordon. Some merchants who participate in sidewalk sales report two or three times the normal amount of business during the SOULstice, while others report that they do not benefit as much from the festival’s demographic. However, the day long festival is about more than sales. “It’s not just about doing great business,” said Gordon, “It’s about bringing people to [Main] Street so that they can have a good time and will come back.” The SOULstice

And lastly, the best-selling Reclaiming History, documenting Vince’s view that Oswald was JFK’s lone assassin, was the book of which he was proudest. That said, after numerous discussions he and I agreed to disagree on Oswald’s role. Because it was so out of character, I can’t forget the time Vince was having coffee when I phoned and what followed. “To what do I owe your call?” he asked warmly. “Nothing, I just find it comforting to talk to someone who despises George Bush more than I do.” For those old enough, a la Danny Thomas, Vince laughed so hard he spit out his coffee. In closing, I’m reminded of what Vincent Bugliosi Jr. said recently, “My father had an unflagging dedication to justice in everything he did.” Amen to that. Vince Bugliosi, R.I.P.

has become a community event, said Gordon, and for many people in the community “it’s just a good afternoon in the summer.” “Ultimately, we want to grow the event so that it is continuous from the southern end of main street to Pico,” said Gordon. However, such growth will be hindered unless the event can attract bigger sponsors. Larger sponsors are often turned off from the event because Main Street itself is not closed, said Gordon. In addition, estimating the number of visitors to the SOULstice is difficult due to the many entrance and exit points. An accurate headcount can demonstrate to sponsors the exposure they get by supporting the festival. For this year, at least, Main Street will remain open. Only Pier Street and Kinney Street will be closed off. Visitors are encouraged to park at the beach or Main Street parking lots. The event will run from 1 - 7 p.m.

complaints lodged against the operators of the day care. One resident, who lives next door to the property, said he never officially complained because it struck him as “being a bad neighbor.” He called the expansion a bridge too far, noting that his significant other works odd hours. “She bought a home for half a million dollars in this community so that she could throw open the windows and the doors and enjoy that breeze and instead she is subjected to 14 children in the backyard and what should be a joyous sound, which is the sound of children laughing and being happy, instead has become a source of hypertension for her and constant angst,” he testified. One neighbor said that parents often use her driveway to turn their cars around after picking up or dropping of their kids. Another said he spent $5,000 to replace his windows in an effort to combat the noise. Owners of the day care said they were surprised to hear the complaints at the meeting and that they wished neighbors would have come to them first. Ries sympathized with the need for childcare within the city of Santa Monica, but
advocated for the creation of more facilitates spread throughout the city, rather than the doubling of size of a single facility. Commissioner Richard McKinnon noted that the only way to get the operators to agree to conditions that might combat the problems currently existing on-site, was to approve their request with stricter requirements. The applicants noted that part of the expansion involves creating a larger indoor space, thereby reducing the need to have kids in the backyard. The initial proposal would have allowed a maximum of 11 kids in the backyard at any given time but commissioners amended that total down to six. Under the new conditions, two employees will assist in the morning drop-off process, which will occur in waves over the course of a set time in the morning. Commissioners asked the day care to maintain 12-foot hedges along the property to reduce noise. They also asked that the agreement included specific language that restricts parents from using the driveways to turn around. “I’m going to urge the applicant to work with the neighbors no matter what happens with your plans,” Commissioner Amy Anderson said prior to affirmative vote.

most vulnerable?” Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, asked as she presented the bill. The measure passed on a bipartisan 4630 vote after weeks of vocal opposition, with thousands of parents placing calls to representatives and donning red shirts to protest at the Capitol. But proponents have been equally resolute, standing by 7-year-old leukemia survivor Rhett Krawitt Wednesday as he delivered a petition with over 30,000 signatures to the Democratic governor. Krawitt’s parents said that because he could not be immunized for a year after receiving chemotherapy, they were nervous to send him to school in the chronically under-vaccinated Marin County. “We should fight for the liberty not just of those who don’t want to vaccine their kids, but for those who cannot,” said Republican Assemblywoman Catharine Baker, R-Pleasanton, during Thursday’s floor debate. Two Republican assemblywomen joined the Democratic majority in support. The Senate already approved the bill once, but still must approve amendments before it is sent to Brown. The Senate could take up amendments as early as next week. Brown has not said whether he would sign the bill authored by Democratic Sens. Richard Pan of Sacramento and Ben Allen of Santa Monica.
“The Governor believes that vaccinations are profoundly important and a major public health benefit and any bill that reaches his desk will be closely considered,” spokesman Evan Westrup said in an email that repeated Brown’s earlier statement. Opponents of the vaccine bill gathered on the Capitol steps after the vote, vowing to make their voices heard to the governor. “Parents are being bullied into having their children vaccinated or not sending their kids to school,” said Renate Krogdahl, a Cupertino mother of three who was among the protesters. Sen. Bill Monning, D-Carmel, said Thursday that he and Pan have been targeted for recall by opponents. Monning said his district, which includes Santa Cruz, has a high number of parents who seek vaccine exemptions for their children and he has had to shut down his district office out of safety concerns. In the floor debate, some Assembly Republicans argued that the measure trampled parental rights. “We do not have the right, nor should we have the power, to take away a parent’s right to choose,” said Assemblyman Devon Mathis, R-Visalia. There were also divisions among Democrats, with Assemblyman Mike Gatto, D-Glendale, taking the floor to warn of government overreach. “If anyone can tell me where the line for medical necessity reasonably ends to justify a law, then I will vote for this bill,” Gatto said. “Until then, this is a slippery slope.” Associated Press Writer Judy Lin contributed to this story.

FILM REVIEW
LOVE & MERCY Rated PG 13 121 Minutes Released June 5th Whether Beach Boys music framed the days your childhood, or you know it as classic soft rock, it probably has an important emotional place in your memories. As I was growing up, technology didn’t exist to appreciate the full quality of the instrumentals behind the Beach Boys hits. My car radio and bedroom clock/radio were grievously incapable of transmitting the incredible sound values of this music. Even so, it had a place in my life that was more important than I realized. The story structure in Love & Mercy is not linear - that style opens the door for us into the mind of Brian Wilson, which dances capriciously from one realm to another. It’s a composite of Brian’s emotional life, from his point of view, rather than a detailed history – a poetic journey inside the inspirations of a musical genius. The scoring of the film by composer Atticus Ross, and the handling of the recording sessions by cinematographer Robert D. Yeoman and director Bill Pohlad are superb. The scenes of the music developing in Brian’s head are very effective, especially to those of us with creative, unpredictable minds. They capture the depth and emotional quality of Brian’s sounds. Paul Dano gives a remarkable portrayal of young Brian and bears a startling resemblance to him. His understanding of the fragile mental state of this musician is subtle and believable. I was pleased to see that filmmakers cast an actor who could play the piano well – then I discovered later that Dano elected to do a “crash course” in piano for this role. John Cusack, who plays Brian during a later stage of life when he is riddled with overmedication and psychosis, nails the role. We can feel his silent agonized cries. Paul Giamatti creates a bone-chilling portrayal of the power-hungry psychiatrist. In one poignant scene, Brian takes his girlfriend to the site of his family home in Hawthorne, now an empty dead end with a busy freeway visible across a fence, as the house had been demolished in the mid1980’s. The film doesn’t cover the future of the spot - in 2004, music industry notables had the site designated as a state historic landmark. A monument has been erected there and Richard Huhn, Chair of the Hawthorne Parks & Recreation Commission

Hawthorne still sells commemorative bricks for the site and donates his time to keep it clean. This movie schools us in the fact that we take our contemporary music for granted. It seems to magically emanate from our phones, our iPods, our computers, to underscore our feelings and provide a backdrop for our lives. We don’t realize how important it is to us in coloring our existence, in helping us hang on to our stability through unsettling periods in our lives. We don’t realize the depth, the angst and talent of the musicians who create it, many of whom we revere today, the future Mozart’s and Bach’s of music history. Brian Wilson indeed is a modern-day Beethoven. KATHRYN WHITNEY BOOLE was drawn into the entertainment industry as a kid and never left. It has been the backdrop for many awesome adventures with crazy creative people.

ON JUNE 19 AT APPROXIMATELY 1:15 A.M. Officers responded to the 1400 block of 14th Street in response to a burglary. According to the witness, she was sitting in her carport when she noticed the suspect, later identified as Christopher Baida, 47 of Panorama City, ride his bicycle down the entrance ramp of the subterranean garage and began to look at bikes, storage units and vehicles. The witness initially thought Baida was a neighbor, but quickly realized he was not. In observing Baida, she saw him open and rummage through a storage area and try the door handle of two cars. With the description given by the witness, assisting units located Baida and detained him. During the detention, drug paraphernalia and a debit card that did not belong to him were found in his possession. Baida was booked for attempted burglary. Bail was set at $50,000.

■ Backyard firing ranges are legal in Florida (as News of the Weird reported last year), and in March a Florida House committee voted to keep it that way, shooting down legislation to outlaw them even in urban and residential areas. (Firing on private property is legal except if shooting over a public right-of-way or an occupied dwelling, and “negligent” gunfire, though illegal, is only a misdemeanor.) In 2014, one Florida legislator, originally from Alaska, said even in that liberty-conscious state, residents in urban Anchorage do not have rights that Floridians have. ■ Convicted “satanic cult” day care operators Dan and Fran

Still, however, the judges could not bring themselves to rule the Kellers “not guilty,” thus preserving children’s narratives of the Kellers videotaping orgies, serving blood-laced Kool-Aid, kidnapping them to Mexico and more -- yet somehow releasing them, unscarred, each day to parents at pickup time in Austin.
