Woman arrested for bomb threat downtown
SMMUSD separation deemed ‘viable’
BY MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor
Committee finds no major ‘deal-breakers’ for splitting district
OCEAN AVE. A woman threatening to
have a bomb in her car triggered road closures and evacuations in Downtown Santa Monica on Thursday morning. Officers from the Santa Monica Police Department and Los Angeles Sheriff’s office said the woman drove up to a business on the 1500 block of Ocean Avenue and announced she had a bomb in the car. Santa Monica Police responded to the scene and closed several streets. Ocean Avenue and Second Street were closed between Broadway and Pico Boulevard. Shoppers inside Santa Monica Place were kept inside the mall or diverted away from the Colorado Avenue and Second Street exits. The Big Blue Bus detoured Route 4, Route 9 and Route 3M around the area. The Sheriff’s bomb squad was called in to investigate and officers found no evidence of any explosives. The scene was cleared at about 12:30 p.m. Vehicles and pedestrians were allowed back into the area shortly thereafter. The woman who made the threats was arrested.
Editor’s note: This is the first installment of a two-part series about the possible separation of the Santa Monica-Malibu school district.

voted to support state legislation to regulate vacation rentals like Airbnb. Mayor Kevin McKeown, Mayor Pro Tempore Tony Vazquez, and Councilmember Gleam Davis asked that Council support SB593 at their July 14 meeting. The bill is sponsored by State Senator Mike McGuire (DHealdsburg). It requires that hosting platforms provide quarterly reports including the address of each property offered and rented, the total nights a property was rented and the amount paid for occupancy. It also prohibits rentals if they are illegal under city or county rules and establishes fines SEE RENT PAGE 9

Send comments to editor@smdp.com PUBLISHER
Bush brings out my inner Corleone BEFORE THE GODFATHER PART III WAS
released in 1990 I had a feeling it was going to be a stinker. The tipoff was when Daily Variety reported George Hamilton was going to be playing Tom Hagen, the Corleone consigliore, replacing Robert Duvall. George Hamilton clearly had better hair and a better tan (Duvall is pasty and bald) but when it comes to acting talent ... let’s just say Hamilton had a better tan. Sofia Coppola, daughter of director Francis Ford Coppola, was cast as Mary Corleone, the heroine in Godfather III. (Eerie trivia, Mary was to be played by Winona Ryder who fell ill and then by Rebecca Shaeffer who was murdered by a deranged fan.) How awful was the movie? When Mary (Sofia Coppola) gets inadvertently shot and slumps ever so slowly to her death someone in our audience shouted at the screen, “Die already, b***h!” (Sofia earned two Razzies for Worst Supporting Actress and for Worst New Star of 1990.) Bad as she was, Sofia underplayed her role compared to Al Pacino’s portrayal of Michael Corleone. Pacino was great in Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon to name but a few, but in many movies he’s so over the top he eats everything in a scene, including the props. In The Godfather Part III, who can forget the kitchen scene when Michael anguishes, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!” That, dear readers, is exactly how I feel whenever I read about George W. Bush. Given the historic damage the Bush administration inflicted here and abroad it amazes me W. shows his face in public. On his watch on 9/11 we
suffered the worst intelligence failure in history, which led to the greatest attack on the continental United States since the War of 1812 when the White House was burned by the British in 1814. Bush followed the World Trade Center attacks by invading Iraq, possibly the worst foreign policy blunder in history, and in 2008 he presided over the greatest financial crash since the 1929 Depression. And those are just but a few of the vast low lights of the Bush regime. (That said, W. showed tremendous reflexes adeptly dodging shoes thrown by an angry Iraqi journalist at a Baghdad press conference.) What “pulled me back in” this time was a recent report that at a 2012 gala fundraiser for wounded veterans, Bush was paid a $100,000 speaker’s fee. (Plus $20,000 for a private jet, and $50,000 for Laura to speak the following year.) I’m painfully aware of the Clintons’ exorbitant speaking fees. But to specifically profit off wounded warriors, whose wounds were inflicted in a tragically ill-fated war you orchestrated, seems beyond obscene. Wouldn’t it be the humane, decent thing to do for Bush to have waived his fee altogether? Instead, Bush bragged that he normally gets $150,000 to $200,000, so he was actually cutting the wounded warriors a break. Good grief! The Bush administration was such a colossal failure that if this were Japan there wouldn’t have been enough hara-kiri knives to have gone around. Frankly, Bush should have been hauled before the World Court. Now he plays golf all day or paints cats and charges $200,000 speaking fees without a care in the world. Upon leaving office, W. reflected on his eight
years in the White House with 5,000 dead GIs and 30,000 wounded, “Laura and I had the time of our life.” Whereas Johnson and Nixon, plagued by U.S. casualties during the Vietnam War, Bush slept like a baby. And Dick Cheney, aka Darth Vader, says he’d do it all over again. “In a New York minute,” including, “enhanced interrogation.” (How’s that for an Orwellian term?) So much for Bush, now for the GOP. Recently, Obama took steps to normalize relations with Cuba after 60 years of a failed embargo policy. But GOP leaders in the Senate are promising they will thwart any nominee of an ambassador to Cuba. When Nixon opened up China did Democrats block his efforts? This brings me to the proposed nuclear deal with Iran. I’m certainly no expert but it’s ironic that the people who scream the loudest about evil Iran are the same ones who were cheerleaders for the Iraq War, which vaulted Iran into the dominant power in the region. (They also seem to have forgotten that their beloved Ronald Reagan actually gave weapons to the Iranians.) As for the nuclear deal, the document is 100 pages and, given my ADD, I’m waiting for the video. In conclusion, if there were no George Bush and no Iraq War there’d be no ISIS. And yet W. insists, “I have no regrets about Iraq.” As for Pacino, if he ever reads this I suppose he’d be within his rights to quip, “Neworth’s so over the top he hams up every paragraph and even the punctuation.” JACK is at facebook.com/jackneworth, twitter.com/jackneworth and jnsmdp@aol.com.

The “Truth about affordable housing” article by Santa Monica Forward doesn’t quite state the whole truth. The article says that along with community corp of Santa Monica the other providers of affordable housing are private developers who are required to set aside a percentage of their units as affordable housing. These developers are incentivized by development agreements that allow more housing than LUCE calls for. They provide some affordable units and are given permission to build more units than the LUCE plan allows. They are allowed to build small units that rent for big money. Some of these developers even have big money commercial rentals on the ground floor. The city recently allowed a developer, over the objections of the neighbors, to build 10 units instead of four units on the property at Lincoln and Ashland in return for the developer providing one affordable unit. That’s 10 percent. The article fails to mention the affordable housing provided by the mom and pop small apartment owners. I’m a 76 year old with a 4-unit property. They are two bedroom apartments with private garages for each apartment. My wife and I live in one of the four units. We have one market rate unit and the other two units have extremely low rents. One at $585 and one at $902 The $902 renter is older than I am and we are glad to provide affordable housing for him. The $585 tenant is a relative of the former owner who was given a sweetheart rent. He has never lived anywhere else. He has a solid government job and is able to walk to work. We received a two-dollar a month rent raise on one of those units and a four-dollar a month rent raise on the other low rent unit. We struggle to live in Santa Monica where our doctors are but we can’t continue like this. We began to live here in the 70’s and remember well the rhetoric of SMRR. Stop the rent gouging they cried and the electorate heard them. We bought our property in 2012 because we couldn’t qualify for affordable housing. My wife and I each have social security and a union pension, which adds up to too much income to get affordable housing. Our income is less than the average salary of an employee of the rent control board. We are victims of discrimination and de-facto elder abuse but since this reverse rent gouging is in the name of affordable housing it is allowed in Santa Monica.

Man with knife who was shot by Los Angeles police dies
Free Consultation
Los Angeles authorities say a 41-year-old man has died two days after police shot him when he refused to drop a knife. Coroner’s Assistant Chief Ed Winter tells City News Service that Jason Davis died at a hospital Wednesday night. Police said the shooting happened after officers responded to reports of an armed man at a coffee shop in the Venice area Monday afternoon. Employees told reporters that the man, who appeared to be homeless, walked into the shop and then became unruly and pulled a knife. Police said officers opened fire after he continued advancing even after being hit with a stun gun. Witnesses said the man had vomited on the sidewalk just before entering the shop.

Surfrider Foundation and Barefoot Wine partner on beach cleanup BY SEAN MCDONALD Daily Press Intern
THE BEACH This Saturday the West LA chapter
of the Surfrider Foundation is hosting a cleanup of Santa Monica’s most polluted beach as part of the Barefoot Beach Rescue Project. The project, a partnership between the Surfrider Foundation and Barefoot Wine, is designed to increase the size and effectiveness of Surfrider’s existing beach cleanups. It began in 2007 and in the past eight years 135 cleanups have been held involving over 12,000 volunteers. On Saturday, July 18 at 9 a.m., the two will collaborate again to clean up Santa Monica Pier Beach, one of Heal the Bay’s
Top 10 Beach Bummers. Following the cleanup there will be a celebration at The Bungalow on Wilshire, organized by the Surfrider Foundation. “We anticipate having several hundred volunteers forming a garbage line to clear the beach on Saturday,” Toby Nelson, Hunter Public Relations, said. Nelson added that, “actress Nikki Read will be joining us for the cleanup.” Santa Monica is one of two beaches the Barefoot Beach Rescue Project is targeting this year, the other being Huntington Beach. “Last week we did Huntington Beach,” said Nelson. “There we had 267 volunteers from as far north as Vancouver participate in a cleaning that cleared 482.6 pounds of garbage.” Despite the city’s best efforts, the Santa
Monica Pier Beach has been notoriously polluted for years. Bird netting has been installed to prevent feces from contaminating the water, but it is constantly tearing and has proved difficult to maintain. The city also attempted to change the contour of the beach under the pier to prevent the buildup of bacteria in pools of ocean water that are dragged back into the sea at high tide. But despite these endeavors the beach remains one of California’s dirtiest. However, the Barefoot Beach Rescue Project is looking to change that. “In the future, the Surfrider Foundation’s West LA chapter has several programs that are ongoing or planned, which will have a direct impact on beach quality in Santa
Monica,” Nelson said. “The chapter is developing a program called Ocean Friendly Restaurants that promotes the most environmentally conscious eateries in town and encourages others to reduce their impact by eliminating singleuse plastics from their waste stream. The chapter is working with the LA County Board of Supervisors to develop legislation that would ban EPS [expanded polystyrene aka Styrofoam] food containers in unincorporated LA County.” Surfrider and Barefoot Wine will continue to host beach cleanups, like the event this Saturday, in Santa Monica and the greater LA and Malibu areas. editor@smdp.com

The committee did not analyze all criteria associated with dividing school districts and was not asked to determine whether separation is better for students, but it concluded that there are no major financial “dealbreakers” for creating distinct Santa Monica and Malibu districts. Committee members presented their findings in a study session during the local Board of Education’s meeting Wednesday night, saying that separation is possible even in the face of numerous complicated challenges. Their presentation came at a pivotal juncture for the district, which is in the process of allocating millions of dollars in bond money for facility and technology upgrades at SMMUSD sites while facing environmental concerns in Malibu and adjusting to a recently implemented centralized fundraising system. Advocates for Malibu Public Schools, a nonprofit founded by current school board member Craig Foster, had originally hired education consulting firm West Ed to create a hypothetical budget for a Malibu-only district. The school board’s direction to the financial oversight committee to look into the implications of separation allowed officials to access SMMUSD budgets and paint a more complete picture of two separate districts. The committee’s studies took into account changes in state funding through the Local Control Funding Formula, extra
costs associated with creating a new district, enrollment forecasts and staffing patterns, among other factors, officials said. “We conclude that the financial picture for a separate Malibu school district and a separate Santa Monica school district would both be viable,” committee member Paul Silvern said. Officials spoke of the dramatic progress the district has made on the issue of separation, a popular cause among Malibu parent groups for years. Foster praised the committee for its work, noting the volunteer hours logged and the strong opinions that have characterized district debate in recent years. “This is a hard subject,” he said. “A lot of people have a lot of feelings about it. Everybody who was involved put aside their feelings and just looked at the numbers, just looked at the legal (ramifications), and that’s not easy to do.” Several Malibu residents spoke at the meeting, commending board and committee members for their efforts in analyzing the separation issue and reiterating their commitment to following through with it. AMPS president Karen Farrer said the respective communities would be better off if they didn’t have to deal with each other’s distractions. “Talk of separation has been going on for decades, so to see it officially acknowledged by the district reflects reality, and that’s a good thing,” she said. “The people of Malibu are completely serious about this issue.” Added fellow Malibu activist Brian Ingram: “It’s really important to all of us that there’s continued strength behind this initiative.” jeff@smdp.com

for non-compliance. Under the rules, the hosting platform would also be required to collect transient occupancy tax if requested by the city or county. The bill was amended at Santa Monica’s suggestion to preserve local control over vacation rental ordinances, while requiring internet platforms to share appropriate booking location and price data. “As cities and counties have witnessed, online vacation rental businesses are often about one-way sharing. They share all the benefits of a local community’s services, but they often share none of the responsibilities. Local governments are left to shoulder the burden of enforcement and expense associated with this expanding industry,” McGuire said. “Our bill is simple: All it does is make online vacation rental businesses follow local laws, just like the rest of us.” Santa Monica made national news this year when it revised rules for vacation rentals in the city. The new rules reinforce existing regulations outlawing short-term rentals but add additional staff to enforce

that prohibition. Santa Monica’s rules legalize home-sharing but require those who wish to do it get business licenses, pay transient occupancy taxes and notify city officials when tenants will be sharing their homes. “When I met with McGuire, he is very committed to the idea that the purpose of the bill is to give us the tools to regulate short term rentals,” Davis said. “That this is not about obviously creating a state system that we have to fit into, but giving us the tools that we need in order to maintain an ordinance that is appropriate for us …” Five individuals filed paperwork to speak about the proposal, but only one endured the six-hour meeting to comment after midnight. Cara Brown spoke against the proposal. She said she didn’t understand why the council would consider supporting the state law and criticized Santa Monica’s rules for criminalizing residents who need supplemental income to remain in the city. “I’m pretty sure this bill will be struck down before it gets going or will invite a lot of lawsuits,” she said.

FILM REVIEW
MAGIC MIKE XXL Rated R 115 Minutes Released July 1 Magic Mike XXL is a kids’ movie for adults — loads of fun. The audience clapped, laughed, gasped at appropriate moments. It’s a road trip with a mission — a group of guys who once did “male entertainer” shows together team up one last time to enter a national stripper contest. But this is not a stripper movie. The movie was made by a collection of artists who love to work in film, most of them industry multi-hyphenates. It’s a joy to watch because they had so much fun making it. The story covers the loneliness and fear of those of us who are realizing that our high school or college dreams are not real life — that life is something you create as you go along, and if you put yourself out there and give to those around you, yours becomes that much more fulfilling. That’s pretty deep stuff for a movie that I believe was shot without a script. It appears there was a story outline and scenes materialized around it. There is no dead air or lack of rhythm however. The players’ enthusiasm and warmth injects the film with an infectious energy. Not to mention … these guys have worked their bodies to the max and have acquired great skills to match incredible dance talents. What a pleasure to watch! Men who dance with grace and skill are hard to find. In so much of our visual art, the female body is glorified. It’s refreshing to see the male body as the artwork. This film offers a lot of surprises. Michael Strahan does a memorable cameo inside a darkened “Ladies Club”, Jada Pinkett Smith “steals” her first few scenes as the Madam, the “background women” give compelling performances, Amber Heard Depp plays a well-rounded ingenue searching for identity, Andie MacDowell is a feisty, elegant divorcee, Donald Glover is the sensitive guy, Elizabeth Banks has a cameo as a Southern pageant director. The camera operator/director of photography is none other than Steven Soderbergh (under the pseudonym of Peter Andrews). The editor, billed as Mary Ann Bernard is also … wait for it … Steven Soderbergh. Great job by Steven on this project! He and production designer Howard Cummings create fascinating environments that strike the perfect emotional balance with the unfolding story. The core group of guys — reluctant strippers Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, wrestling star Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez and Matt Bomer, are charming, entertaining, and convey complex characters we can identify with. And that brings another surprise — this is not just a chic flick — it’s for guys too, a great buddy movie. Get out there and see it, men! A friend reported that at one screening, most of the audience sat in the theatre talking about the movie after the credits rolled. As Maya Angelou said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never

Crime Watch is culled from reports provided by the Santa Monica Police Department. These are arrests only. All parties are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
ON JULY 5 AT APPROXIMATELY 1 A.M. The suspect began knocking on the front door of a residence at the 900 block of 20th St. and telling the home owner to call 911. When officers arrived, they detained the suspect outside the residence and asked him what was going on. The suspect told the officers he was being chased by men with guns who wanted to kill him. The suspect then began shouting that he saw the men behind some trees. The officers did not see anyone nearby, so they asked the suspect to describe the men. The suspect said the men had blue mustaches. After further evaluation, the officers determined the suspect was under the influence of some type of hallucinogen. The suspect was then taken into custody and booked at the Santa Monica jail. Mario Lopez, 34, homeless, had bail set at $250.

■ Jihadists governing ISIS’ Euphrates province recently outlawed the popular hobby of breeding pigeons and threatened violators with flogging and imprisonment. The ban was initially thought to be aimed at frustrating pigeon-messaging to the outside world, but the published prohibition mentions other justifications — the hobby’s frivolity (wasting time that could better be spent praying) and the special offense to God (because pigeons are “uncovered,” with exposed genitals). ■ God Is Love: (1) In a June YouTube video reported by various news sites, Tempe, Arizona,

pastor Steven Anderson (Faithful Word Baptist Church) prayed for God to “rip out the heart” of Caitlyn Jenner, for whom Anderson expresses “a perfect hatred” for announcing she was no longer Bruce. (2) On his “700 Club” TV program in June, Pat Robertson patiently explained to a grieving mother why God could have allowed her 3-year-old son to die of illness — that God saw the big picture and knew, for instance, that the kid could have become a serial killer or contracted a hideous disease, and that she should be relieved that God took him early.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: ★★★★★Dynamic ★★ So-So ★★★★ Positive ★ Difficult ★★★ Average
This year you will be unusually buoyant. You have a lot of energy, and you’ll need to use it wisely in order to prevent yourself from becoming stressed out. If you are single, don’t jump right from one relationship to the next, or you could miss meeting the right person. If you are attached, the two of you will opt to spend more time together. You have a tendency to overspend together, but it is also likely that you will see more money coming in. LEO is great at spending your money.
Clean beach, happy beach If you're in the mood for some beach activity that's a little more mellow, travel down to Playa Del Rey for a relaxing beach clean-up to help restore the city's beautiful shoreline. The event, which lasts two hours,
begins at 10:00 am at Toes Beach (6200 PaciďŹ c Ave.) and is a great opportunity for you and your friends and family to bond over shared efforts to keep the Los Angeles beaches pristine. For more information, visit healthebay.org.
