SMPD revamps voluntary registry Database figures to help officers assist elderly, disabled BY JEFFREY I. GOODMAN Daily Press Staff Writer
CITYWIDE Amid increasing scrutiny of law enforcement officers' interactions with citizens, the Santa Monica Police Department has expanded its voluntary registry in an attempt to assist needy residents and their families. Originally designed to help seniors with memory issues, the recently revamped registry is now

Businesses brace for minimum wage discussion BY MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor
CITYWIDE As the City of Santa Monica considers a local minimum wage ordinance, local businesses are starting to engage with the city, and each other, in preparation for a wage hike. Local business owners gathered for an informal informational meeting last week and members of the business community will have an opportunity to speak with city officials in the coming weeks. Last week, local businessman
Hunter G. Hall organized a discussion focused on the restaurant industry. As a member of the LA Neighborhood Restaurant Coalition, he said the meeting was designed to update locals on the lessons already learned in Los Angeles. “It is important we quickly form the core group of business owners, operators and volunteers, as well as raise funds to hire the right people to assist us through this process with City Council by doing the proper polling, community outreach, etc.,” he said. Hall said many business owners
favored a $15 minimum wage, but said the issue should be approached in fair way and with the knowledge of the potential implications. “We wholeheartedly support a $15 minimum wage, we simply advocate a responsible and palatable transition to it that mimics the same timeline and considerations as the City of Los Angeles and allows small businesses time to adjust their own operations in order to not only stay in business, but to thrive and avoid cutting too many jobs in the process,” he said. “Just as important as the actual
wage itself are other considerations, such as paid sick leave, minors in the workplace, service charges and tip pooling, as well as the proposed union exemption.” Hall of CBB Restaurant Group and Archetype Hospitality spoke last week alongside Courtney Torres of C.T. Consulting and Jamarah Harris of the Lee Andrews Group. Hall said Santa Monica is not known as a business friendly city and cited the push of tech companies south and the emergency of SEE WAGE PAGE 6

Setting the stage Santa Monica Open comes as tennis officials plan for Dudley Cup centennial BY JEFFREY I. GOODMAN Daily Press Staff Writer
REED PARK It's a big event in its own
right, but it's the unofficial start of something even bigger. The 86th edition of the annual Santa Monica Open tennis tournament begins this month as officials start setting plans in motion for a momentous celebration of next year's Dudley Cup. Tournament director William Nissley sees the Santa Monica Open as a precursor to the annual Dudley Cup, whose 100th anniversary is coming in 2016. “When I run the Santa Monica Open, I'll be pushing for the Dudley Cup,” Nissley said. “There's already energy around it.” The Dudley Cup's upcoming

Santa Monica local joins Teach For America's 25th Anniversary Corps Teach For America has announced that a Santa Monica local has been accepted into the organization's 2015 teaching corps. Teach For America is a national nonprofit working to expand educational opportunity for students in low-income communities. Corps members commit to teach in high-need urban or rural public schools and become lifelong advocates for educational equity. Azia, a 2011 graduate of Santa Monica High School and a 2015 graduate of University of Oregon, will teach in Baltimore. “As a teacher, I hope to inspire and advocate for my students in the same way that Kristine Haenschke, Glen Greenfield, and Nathan Fulcher did for me while I was a student in Santa Monica.” In our country's lowest-income communities, just 6 percent of students will graduate college by the time they're 25. Azia joins a network of 50,000 corps members and alumni working alongside parents, principals, and communities for positive change. "It is with incredible excitement we welcome this group of remarkable and diverse corps members,” said Elisa Villanueva Beard, co-CEO of Teach For America. "They join a group of 50,000 leaders who have raised their hand to be part of ensuring every child has access to an excellent and equitable education." Over the past 25 years, thousands of talented individuals have launched or continued careers in social justice through Teach For America. Hundreds of corps members and alumni have been honored as teachers of the year by their school, district, county, or state. More founders and leaders of entrepreneurial education organizations started careers with TFA than from any other organization or company. Alumni have gone on to become leaders in politics, school systems, nonprofit work, advocacy, and more. Together, they form a nationwide network helping to expand and strengthen the movement to give all kids access to a great education. Teach For America works in partnership with communities to expand educational opportunity for children facing the challenges of poverty. Founded in 1990, Teach For America recruits and develops a diverse corps of outstanding college graduates and professionals to make an initial two-year commitment to teach in high-need schools and become lifelong leaders in the movement to end educational inequity. In 2014-15, 10,600 corps members taught in 50 urban and rural regions across the country while more than 37,000 alumni worked across sectors to ensure that all children have access to an excellent education. Teach For America is a member of the AmeriCorps national service network. For more information, visit www.teachforamerica.org and follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Los Angeles County Fire Department Lifeguards Perform Nearly 2,000 Rescues at Local Beaches The Los Angeles County Fire Department Lifeguard Division performed 1,949 ocean rescues along local beaches from July 23, through August 2, after high surf resulted in strong rip currents along the shoreline. Unseasonably warm air and water temperatures brought 5.85 million people to the Los Angeles County shores during that time. On July 30, emergency personnel responded to a 911 call reporting two swimmers in distress at Gorge 3 at Inspiration Point. This is an area in Rancho Palos Verdes where no lifeguards are present. While lifeguards rescued one swimmer, the second was found unresponsive. Though lifeguards and paramedics attempted lifesaving measures, he did not survive. “Due to continued and unprecedented levels of activity, I cannot emphasize enough how critical it is that people swim and surf in front of an open and staffed lifeguard tower at all times,” said Chief Lifeguard Steve Moseley. Beachgoers are reminded to always check with a lifeguard for the latest ocean and beach conditions. Always swim, surf and body board with a buddy, and stay out of the water at night. Lifeguards also strongly advise against jumping off cliffs into the ocean, as this activity has led to drownings in the past. Lifeguards also urge swimmers to avoid dangerous rip currents, characterized by churning, choppy water and a break in the incoming wave pattern. These currents can quickly carry even the strongest swimmer out to sea. Most importantly, beach attendees should always heed instructions and warnings from lifeguards. Lifeguards responded to 1,457 medical calls, rescued 22 vessels in distress and resuscitated 33 people throughout the week.

San Pedro, Here I Come - You Sure? WE ALL HAVE OUR LIMITS, AND SANTA
MONICA, you've reached mine. I'm tired of the petty, egocentric, corrupt politics that gets just enough good stuff done to allow Santa Monicans to still feel they live in a “progressive city.” The tough citizens of Hollywood organized to stop construction of two completely out-of-place skyscrapers (worth near $1 billion), which would sandwich and halfway block from view one of LA's most recognizable buildings, the Capitol Records Tower. (Also, there's that little detail of an earthquake fault, but it looks like for now the developer has prevailed.) Here we have a whack-a-mole parade of big, tall (not that tall!) new developments coming that the overwhelmed citizenry can barely comprehend, yet we have to fight for years now just to preserve an iconic, historic mural of a peaceful sylvan scene, at a busy intersection clogged with traffic, because a handful of people want a new mural in its place, right there, yup, that's the only place for it (issue still not resolved). Just last week, according to former residents of the Village Trailer Park who say there is video of the destruction, 120 trees, planted in the early '50s, were bulldozed from the property. Not replanted. Just knocked down, cut up and hauled off. 120. Even if it was legal according to the Development Agreement for that property, what kind of City Council approves a DA that allows it? It seems sadly unnecessary. Not to mention, of course, all the residents who have been bulldozed (not quite literally). France just passed (unanimously) a law forcing supermarkets to stop destroying expired food items and instead donate them to food banks to feed the hungry. Several city governments in California support the work PRESIDENT Ross Furukawa ross@smdp.com
of church/synagogue coalitions to feed the hungry, while in Santa Monica it sometimes seems our City staff is more intent on finding ordinances that discourage such activities. (I know, I know, it's a complicated and volatile situation here and has been for decades.) Cities around the world, for more than 30 years, go all out to support Make Music Day every June 21, and Make Music LA has their mayor, council members and county supervisors, neighborhood associations and all manner of arts groups on board as sponsors, while in Santa Monica we have to plead to get our City Hall behind even token support. Millions from City coffers for early childhood education (good!), but in an oversized (and still growing) building in the wrong location, and given over to for-profit interests, not so good. But when we try to find ways to turn our shuttered Civic Auditorium and its grounds into an arts center, we're told by city-paid consultants that the City has no money for that and we must do so by building hotels, mixed use retail, office space and/or apartment/condo high rises. Admittedly, we're a better city now than when 1,500 mostly minority families were displaced for the construction of the end of the 10 freeway in the mid-'60s. But somehow that doesn't make me feel better. SO THAT'S IT FOR ME. I decided last weekend to pack up and move to San Pedro, a small town by the ocean with similar population and area and also a long and colorful history. Much longer, really; “Two Years Before the Mast” was written about docking there in the 1830s, the Spanish explorers were using it as a port in the mid-1500s, and the Tongvas settled there thousands of years before that.

(BUT WE MAKE IT EASY!!!)
Drive electric Editor:
Bill Bauer raises good points in his essay on traffic planning. Studies he cites showing dangerous pollution concentrations at intersections where cars accelerate away from stop signs and traffic lights describe a problem that has been with us for over 100 years. Recent advances in the electric vehicle industry have dropped the price to affordable levels for the average American car buyer, and used models of the Nissan LEAF and Chevy Volt are now selling for under $10,000. These cars, running on renewable electricity, emit zero pollution, well-to-wheels. They are also very quiet, an added benefit to the neighbors and pedestrians in the vicinity of heavy traffic intersections. Anyone who drives a car, and who cares about their impact on other humans and the planet's environment, should avail themselves of this option to drive without causing harm to others.

defended the Confederate flag as primarily a proud symbol of Southern heritage, and a newswire piece run on the front page of the Daily Breeze area newspaper actually defended Walter Palmer and trophy hunting as the one thing that keeps the rest of the endangered animals alive, through the revenue it generates. Not correct, and yikes. The arts scene is thriving, and some Bergamot refugees will likely end up there. Gnarly writer Charles Bukowski, when he got famous enough that he could live anywhere, moved to San Pedro. Nuff said. I'm pulling your collective legs a bit; the tag always at the end of my column still holds true, “wouldn't live anywhere else in the world. Really” But I do get discouraged sometimes, and it did feel like I was moving when I had to sort through everything I own and double bag or haul out to two cars anything remotely ingestible, for the invasion of the termite tenters. And then rewind the process two days later. We stayed at my wife's family home on the hill there, and got a great pot roast dinner to boot. Pedro's cool but it will have to wait. I haven't given up on Santa Monica yet. But we can do better, can't we?

Upton Sinclair was arrested there in 1923, at Liberty Hill, for reading from the Constitution during a longshoreman's strike, and more recently Pedro had its own unique punk scene, anchored around the Minutemen and Saccharine Trust and the Dancing Waters club. You can call it Pedro, or San Pedro, but you have to say “Pee-dro” like the folks who live there, not “Pay-dro,” or they may run you out of town. Life in Pedro has always revolved around the sea, and the really diverse population of Italians, Mexicans, Croats, Japanese, Serbs, Scandinavians and Greeks reflects that fishy history. The Port of Los Angeles is the busiest container port in the Western Hemisphere, and that huge operation was almost in Santa Monica, until a political battle at the end of the 19th century settled it in Pedro's “favor.” So now you get to gaze across a gorgeous open sea at Malibu and Catalina Island, instead of an endless parade of huge white cruise liners and container ships and a forest of gigantic loading cranes (that always somehow remind me of the Martian machines in “War of the Worlds”). I get a kick out of reading their proudly progressive Random Lengths newspaper (since 1979), but I also read two pieces this weekend that showed me another side of that area. In San Pedro Today magazine, a columnist who must have missed or ignored the whole debate about the Stars and Bars,

WAGE FROM PAGE 1
Abbot Kinney as evidence of businesses leaving the city. He said raising the minimum wage could be more damaging to the city's economic reputation unless the issue is handled carefully. “Our concerns are, quite frankly, that because of its reputation as being a progressive and liberal city, Santa Monica will go out of its way to 'one up' Los Angeles by either instituting a higher overall minimum wage or by moving to the $15 minimum wage at a faster pace than Los Angeles,” he said. “This quixotic approach to legislation surrounding free market variables like labor and cost of goods rarely serves the purpose and/or people it was originally intended, and often times has more negative effects than positives. Sadly, it would only serve to further tarnish Santa Monica's reputation as one unfriendly to commerce and drive business, especially small business, even further away. Throughout greater Los Angeles, Santa Monica is already known as a very difficult city to do business in and this would certainly not help that perception.” He said a rushed implementation or too high a minimum wage would force small operators to reconsider staying in Santa Monica. “The majority of our residents pride themselves on being progressive and compassionate on all socio-economic issues. They wholeheartedly espouse a lifestyle of sustainability for example, and want to buy high quality products from local vendors, and eschew chains and conglomerates. No one want's Santa Monica to be overrun by Chili's and Target, but those are the only businesses that can afford such crippling regulation,” he said. “Those ideals and max-

centennial serves as a backdrop for this year's Santa Monica Open, another longstanding tournament whose birth coincided with the establishment of the Santa Monica Tennis Club in 1928. This year's edition will be held at Reed Park on 7th Street in Santa Monica, with junior players competing Aug. 17-20 and adults scheduled to participate Sept. 5-7. The tournament will draw scores of players from Santa Monica as well as Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Los Angeles, Culver City, Beverly Hills, Torrance, Palos Verdes Estates, Woodland Hills, Agoura Hills, Chatsworth, La Canada, Redondo Beach and New York. Nissley said the tournament has a history of attracting top-level talent, and he expects the trend to continue in the youth ranks this year. The registration deadline for junior players is Aug. 11. “There will be some fine junior tennis players,” he said. Victor Cheng has been the star of the Santa Monica Open in recent years. Three years ago, the Santa Monica High standout commanded the top-seed in the boys 14year-old singles division and ousted secondseeded Lucas Bellamy 6-3, 6-2 in the finals, according to tournament records. In 2013, Cheng defeated R.J. Sands 6-0, 62 in the finals of the boys 16-year-old singles

ims come at a price and they are not by any means always going to remain feasible if our political and economic climate changes in a manner that's perceived as unfriendly to commerce, especially small business. We will see more and more small businesses close and more chains and conglomerates come in. The first Cheesecake Factory is already under construction. What's next? Imagine Main Street as a strip of Chili's, Applebees and P.F. Changs. Not so charming, is it? Where will all those businesses go? Not Santa Monica … Why would they when they can set up a few miles to the south for half the price and open up shop twice as fast?” The City wants to hear from businesses and is hosting discussions on Aug. 12 and 18 with Dr. Michael Reich, Professor of Economics and Director of the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment at the University of California at Berkeley. “The purpose of the meeting is to gather input and feedback from the local business community about a potential Santa Monica minimum wage ordinance, modeled after that of the City of Los Angeles. Dr. Reich provided analysis for the Los Angeles ordinance, and will facilitate the discussion and answer questions. Everyone in the local business community is welcome and encouraged to attend,” said the city in its event announcement. The Aug. 12 event will run from 9 -11 a.m. and the Aug. 18 will be held from 2 - 4 p.m. Both events will be at the Santa Monica Main Library, 601 Santa Monica Blvd., Multi- Purpose Room (2nd floor).

bracket. While he was at it, he also entered the boys 18 division and upset top-seeded Daniel Rozovsky in straight sets in the semifinals before topping Michael Berger 6-0, 76 in the title match. Last year, Cheng outlasted the top two seeded players in the oldest boys singles bracket to capture another title. Kokoro Chishaki defeated Vivian Cheng to snag first place in the top girls bracket. In the adult competition, there's money at stake. In the 16-player open singles division, the winner will receive $400 and the runner-up will earn $200. In the 16-team doubles bracket, the winning pair will split $200 and the runners-up will come away with $100. Last year's winners included Bo Hardt in men's open singles, Andrea Duva in women's open singles, Brendan Duda and Drew Hoskins in men's open doubles and Ashley Anderson and Zeke Hindle in mixed open doubles. Also claiming divisional victories in the 85th edition of the Santa Monica Open were Federico Casarramona, Jay Devlin, Alyson Randick, Rachel Hardecke, Albert Perry, Matt Whitehead, John Kuo and Mitsuru Tasato. Aug. 25 is the last day for adult registration for this year's Labor Day weekend event, although Nissley said it's possible the deadline could be extended. jeff@smdp.com

REGISTRY FROM PAGE 1
accepting online entries and open to disabled people and other residents who think it would be helpful for local police to have their information, emergency contacts and photos. “We would help someone who doesn't recall where they live or maybe can't speak because of an injury,” said Lauralee Asch, SMPD crime prevention coordinator. “We take a shot in the dark that they've registered.” Asch did not have statistics readily available, but said the department regularly fields calls about missing people. She said she expects that hundreds of Santa Monicans will use the service. The registry was initially built with entries that seniors submitted by hand when police held outreach events at assisted living facilities and social service centers. For instance, officials meet regularly with elderly citizens at WISE & Healthy Aging to discuss fraud, pedestrian safety and other issues affecting seniors. But authorities believe the Web option will make it easier for more people to sign up for the registry. “Now, by having it accessible at home, we're hoping it's more useful,” Asch said. For example, the relative of someone who has a developmental disability or suffers from memory loss can submit that person's photo and information, including physical descriptions like height, weight, hair color and eye color. The contact information of a significant other or caretaker is also requested. None of the information is shared, Asch said. Officers who come across people who are lost, disoriented or in need of assistance can access the database from their cars and search by physical attributes. “It's very common to have somebody get away from their house or group, we find them wandering around and they can remember their name but not where they live,” Asch said. “Officers often go out on a hunt to try to figure out where someone really lives. This is a tool that can help them.” Each registration must be renewed annually, but police will send a reminder to the email address on file before it expires. The expansion of the registry was welcome news for Paula Fern, chair of the city Commission for the Senior Community. Fern, whose commission aims to improve quality of life for Santa Monicans ages 60

and up, said she had not been in direct contact with local police about the registry, but added that it could play an important role in helping seniors. “Considering the fact that the aging population is growing and that the presence of older adults with dementia will grow, this is a very good and needed service,” she said. “We're very thankful for the Santa Monica police who are noticing the need. ... Any initiative that can connect people with their loved ones is a very good thing.” The registry was also seen as a valuable resource for the local disabled community. Christofer Arroyo, chair of the city Disabilities Commission, said it enhances Santa Monica's track record of welcoming people with disabilities. “I think it's great that the City provides an option for individuals with disabilities to provide their information for the registry,” he said. “It demonstrates the City's commitment to including individuals with disabilities in all aspects of living in the community; and in this case, the health and safety needs of individuals with disabilities. “With projects like the registry and a completed universally accessible playground, with one more in the planning stages, it makes me proud to live in Santa Monica where people of all abilities are valued and real, concrete steps are taken to ensure it.” The revamping of the local police department's registry comes after several controversial interactions between authorities and disabled people. The county of San Diego recently finalized a $1 million settlement in a lawsuit stemming from a 2012 incident in which a sheriff 's deputy used pepper spray and a metal baton on a man with Down syndrome. The deputy reportedly didn't realize the man's disability until after arresting him. Last month, an autistic man in England won a settlement resulting from a 2011 incident in which he was arrested and detained for six hours following a misunderstanding over a hug. Asch said these and other similar incidents did not impact the department's decision to expand its adult registry. “We just became more understanding that you don't have to be a senior to need our help,” Asch said. “It was too limiting. Now we've broadened our reach.” To submit an entry, visit www.santamonicapd.org/adultregistry.

Richey had fetched a "perfect-looking" mango from the street in front of Tometich's house, but Tometich insisted it was hers since it had earlier fallen from her tree.
