Final Muster for Former Santa Monica Lifeguard and Navy SEAL KARYN POOLE Associated Press
CITYWIDE A
resident of Santa Monica and the West Los Angeles area for over 75 years, local legend Eugene Poole passed away on July 17. “Gene” was a graduate of Santa Monica High School (1948), Los Angeles City College (1950) and Los Angeles State College (1959). He was a well-known Santa Monica lifeguard lieutenant and an early member of the Los Angeles County Lifeguard Association, with a reputation on local beaches as an enthusiastic surfer and member of the lifeguard's competitive rowing crew team. He maintained his activities in the Lifeguard Association's alumni activities throughout his life. During the Korean War, Gene served in one of the Navy's first underwater demolition teams (UDT1) and continued his service in the Naval Reserves SEAL training program until retirement. After that, he remained connected with his Navy brothers, traveling back and forth to Coronado for various hallmarks and events. He was instrumental in forming the “Fifties Frogs,” a non-profit organization for UDT-SEALS, as well as the Los Angeles County Underwater Divers Training program. Many folks still recognize young Gene Poole as the stunt-double in several television programs during the 1960's, including “Sea Hunt” and “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea,” and in films such as “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” and “Creature from the Black Lagoon,” where his diving skills were no match against menacing underwa-

PYFC album release party plays out amid funding flap BY JEFFREY I. GOODMAN Daily Press Staff Writer
PICO BLVD For weeks the youngsters have created beats, composed music and crafted lyrics. They've poured their passion into songs about peace, unity and social justice, all the while learning the nuances of audio production. And now they're ready for their big day. The dozens of students who have contributed to the Pico Youth and Family Center's fifth compilation album will host a release party at 6 p.m. on Aug. 8 at the local nonprofit's Pico Boulevard facility.
“It's a great unifier,” the center's director, Oscar de la Torre, said of the project. “Young people from all walks of life join our music program and learn to work together, to build community, as they express themselves. It's a major accomplishment.” The CD release party comes at a critical juncture for the embattled organization, which was recently stripped of city funding amid allegations of financial mismanagement and sloppy bookkeeping. Santa Monica City Council's decision not to allocate another $190,000 to the center, which received that amount from the city
last year, was a devastating blow to the group's operating budget, de la Torre said. The director said two full-time staffing positions have been eliminated and added that he's now the only remaining fulltime employee. Proceeds from admission ($10) and album sales ($15) will go toward sustaining the PYFC beyond the end of the year, according to de la Torre. He hopes Saturday's event nets $3,000 for the nonprofit, which he said could operate for about six more months without any additional income. “This is our way to engage young people and help keep the

A former Santa Monica physician pleaded no contest on Aug. 5 to obtaining a controlled substance by fraud, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced. Dr. Daniel Shin, 50, returns to court on Nov. 4 for sentencing before Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo. Under the terms of a negotiated plea, he will be sentenced to three years in county jail in case BA421892. Deputy District Attorneys Emily Street and Keith Koyano of the Major Narcotics Division are prosecuting the case. Shin, who has since lost his license to practice medicine, operated a pain management clinic in Santa Monica. Prosecutors said Shin, along with his office manager, Thomas Mark Oseransky, 50, and a colleague, Dyno Travato West, 39, orchestrated a complex scheme to write and fill prescriptions for oxycodone. West earlier pleaded no contest to conspiracy and multiple counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and was sentenced to 32 months in state prison. Oseransky returns to Department 105 on Sept. 17 for a pretrial hearing. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department investigated the case.

BREEZE founding memberships on sale

Santa Monica's bike sharing program, Breeze Bike Share, is now offering founding membership registration at breezebikeshare.com . A system test using seven selected stations or “hub” locations will launch on Aug. 13 for about six weeks. A full system launch is planned for early November with all 500 bikes spread across 75 locations citywide. A small number of additional hubs are also planned in neighboring Venice. Become a Breeze Bike Share Founding Member for only $99 and you will receive: a full year of bike share starting from the full-system launch date, including 60 minutes of daily use, an exclusive invitation to the Breeze launch party in November, a special Breeze Founding Member gift packet, a chance to participate in the system test at no extra charge (limited to the first 100), a limited edition Breeze Founding Membership Card and bragging rights amongst your friends. Santa Monica's Breeze Bike Share will be the first major bike share program to operate in the Los Angeles region. The flexibility of the system's “smart bike” technology will make it possible for users to bike anywhere in the city, as well as to some neighboring parts of Los Angeles. Breeze launches following a multi-year process of acquiring funding, studying equipment alternatives, and learning from other cities about bike share best practices. “In these dog days of summer, we all long for a Breeze, and this week Santa Monica has one for you,” says Santa Monica Mayor Kevin McKeown. “Santa Monica's new bike share system will make it easy to hop a bike for a quick one-way trip on the spur of the moment, and then grab another bike whenever you're ready. Breeze will be a big part of our overall sustainability strategy. It will be fun, and we expect it will be a popular success with Santa Monicans and visitors alike.” Modeled after successful bike share programs in other cities, Santa Monica's system will provide 24/7 access to bikes around the city, with hubs located a short walk from commercial and residential areas to provide access to all. The founding membership rate of $99 for a full year (past the system-wide launch date) costs less than $9/month. Program information and founding member registration is at www.breezebikeshare.com. Federal funding for the bike share equipment was provided through Metro, with additional funding from the South Coast AQMD. The City of Santa Monica will oversee the program and CycleHop, a private bike share company, will be responsible for daily operations. Social Bicycles (SoBi) is providing the equipment and technology.

Was Trump an Attack Dog or Pussy Cat?
schwenker@smdp.com
EDITOR IN CHIEF Matthew Hall matt@smdp.com
FORGIVE THE TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY BUT MY
timing this week sucks. Due to my deadline, the much-anticipated first GOP Presidential debate hasn't yet happened, but when you read this you'll likely have seen it. Somehow Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus didn't consult with me about the debate schedule. (Reince Priebus sounds like a medical condition easily treated if you catch it early.) Technically, there were two debates yesterday. The “pre-prime-time” one was for the seven candidates who didn't make the cut. (As Donald Trump might refer to them, “the losers.”) Their debate was affectionately referred to as the “JV” or the “Kid's Table.” The bad news is those candidates will likely be seen as irrelevant. The good news is rumor has it they were served cookies and punch. Imagine, seventeen seemingly intelligent, successful people seeking a job that ages you in dog years, e.g. every year in office you look seven years older. Not only were seventeen candidates a modern record, but the hoopla about Trump has caused a stir not seen since Teddy Roosevelt ran on the Bull Moose ticket. (Actually, Trump reminds me of a bull moose, albeit one with really weird hair.) There's no question, however, the star attraction of the main debate was Donald Trump whose meteoric rise has political pundits pontificating. Keep in mind, four years ago Herman Cain was more popular than the Donald is now. That is, until the former Godfather Pizza CEO couldn't answer a simple question about Libya. As he toyed with his tie, he sheepishly explained the brain freeze, “I got all this stuff twirling
around in my head.” And Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann was also the darling of the right until she met her Waterloo, so to speak. She told an adoring crowd in Waterloo, Iowa, how wonderful it was to be in the hometown of John Wayne. Except, Waterloo was the hometown of serial killer John Wayne Gacey. (To quote Governor Perry, “Oops.”) But back to the debate where Trump was center stage, literally. On one side was Jeb Bush and on the other was Scott Walker. The rest of the candidates were spread out in descending order according to their popularity, or lack thereof. The key question going in was which Donald Trump would show up. Would it be “Mexicans are rapists,” “John McCain is not a war hero,” and “Perry needs to take an IQ test?” Or would it be “I'm a really nice guy and Ronald Reagan liked me,” Trump? I'm guessing Trump was a teddy bear. Unless, of course, he got attacked in which case he likely reverted to his pit bull self. (I can hear critics say this column is “full of bull.”) I think Trump probably showed his civil self. This, so that the vast millions watching (possibly a record for any Fox programming ever) will think to themselves, “Gee, he seems almost normal, other than the hair.” And I don't think Trump's rivals went after him because they won't want to alienate his followers for when he ultimately drops out of the race. And he will drop out one day. All due respect, he essentially knows nothing about the issues. Speaking of knowing nothing about the issues, Trump says he'd put Sarah Palin in his cabinet.
Secretary of the Interior? That way she could be in charge of shooting wolves from planes. Issues? Palin didn't even know what newspapers she read. The night before the debate there was an intriguing revelation. Reportedly, in a return phone call in May, Bill Clinton encouraged Trump to take a larger role in Republican politics. With Bill who knows why he said that. But it's a fact that Trump gave money to Hillary's past campaigns and to the Clinton Foundation. And also, that the Clintons attended Trump's third wedding in 2005. (And likely would his fourth or fifth should the occasion arise.) Frankly, I'm tired of Trump's insults and bloviating how rich he is. Zuckerberg, Gates and Buffett could buy him out of petty cash. And none started with $50,000,000 from daddy. Plus, they want to do some good in the world with their money, not just accumulate more. And they don't brag about how clever they are to pay as little taxes as possible. In fact, Buffett thinks it's a severely unfair system where he pays at a lesser rate than his secretary. I'm also sick of Trump's demagogic threats to bomb the hell out of whomever. Given his temper, he's the last one to be anywhere near the nuclear button. I've often concluded that my readers know more than I do. In this case, since I'm writing about the debate unseen and you likely have seen it, there's no question who's wiser. You have timing on your side. And, judging by my word counter, mine just ran out.

The unintended consequences of micromanaging dispensaries SANTA MONICANS FOR SAFE ACCESS (SAMOSA)
should like to recognize the wisdom of the SMDP's article “Is Santa Monica Going to Pot?” (August 3, 2015). An uninformed urban legend persists that medical marijuana dispensaries are some sort of cash cows. Rarely understood and hardly ever distinguished is the enormous difference between “legal” versus “illegal” dispensaries. Also, it is a simple truth that micromanaging how any business operates always leads to a host of unintended consequences. Santa Monica based its ordinance on the very successful model of West Hollywood's simple ordinance. We suggest that straying far afield from that proven model is imprudent. Legal dispensaries pay a multitude of costs that illegal dispensaries do not. A short list of these costs include: federal, state and city income taxes; sales taxes; employee benefits, workers' compensation insurance and payroll taxes; legal, accounting and other professional expenses; and on and on. In fact, the financial structure of legal dispen-
saries is not materially different from any other similar legal business. The flip-side of this for illegal dispensaries is likewise true: by their very nature illegal dispensaries make lots of money. What's more, legal dispensaries are deeply involved in many activities like patient education and outreach, charitable giving and providing other community benefits like discounts for needy patients, none of which illegal dispensaries do. And, yet, these legal dispensaries must still operate in a competitive environment with all the illegal dispensaries! Just ask any operator of a reputable, legal dispensary how much money they make. The truth is surprising when compared to the myth. The City is presently developing selection criteria “to encourage the greatest community compatibility and benefits … such as … requirement[s] that dispensaries provide some free or discounted services for low-income patients.” SAMOSA is a staunch supporter of such selection
criteria. However, care should be taken not to micromanage these criteria lest unintended consequences result. Santa Monica ought to set what these criteria are but not how those criteria or goals are attained. Let the operators say how they intend to achieve those goals, and then select whichever operators have the best plan. The City is vastly more likely to have its goals realized this way. That will be to the great benefit of both it and patients. This is how other cities have done this. Editor, your article is spot-on: micromanaging the operations of a dispensary will certainly make them economically unsustainable and lead to unintended consequences. The City should set criteria or goals for them, but should let those experienced, professional operators figure out how in the real world they are achieved. To do otherwise will surely be to the detriment of resident-patients.

He's helped youths produce socially conscious songs, including tracks about famous activists like Malcolm X, Rigoberta Menchu and Cesar Chavez. The album's content exemplifies the kind of activism that city officials frowned upon as they expressed concerns about the PYFC, which they feel has focused more on advocacy than on providing social services.

his younger brother, William Poole of Santa Monica, sharing of himself and his life with them and their families. He will be remembered by his enormous circle of friends as either an adventurous accomplice or as someone who would always lend a helping hand, or both. To his Navy and lifeguard brothers, he was a loyal patriot, tireless and fearless team member, expert mentor, and “the guy who did it all.” Gene was a compassionate man who donated generously to the Disabled American Veterans organization and several other charities. He is survived by his brother William Poole of Malibu, CA, daughter Karyn Poole and granddaughter Jordan Poole of Arizona, and their families. Memorial services will be held at Gates, Kingsley & Gates Moeller Murphy in Santa Monica on Aug. 10 at 12 p.m., with a military burial at 2 p.m. at Woodlawn Cemetery in Santa Monica. Although services will be traditional, non-formal attire is requested: Casual, beachcomber, or Aloha print (Gene's personal favorite). In lieu of flowers (although Gene had a weakness for anything glamorous and beautiful), his family would prefer that you donate to the charitable organization of your choice.

On solid ground, Gene was Assistant to the National Sales Manager for Equity Funding in Los Angeles and Miami (19641972) and was tenacious about investments and marketing, eventually becoming an independent insurance agent and selling policies for California Blue Cross Blue Shield, which he continued to do for the remainder of his life. He was an avid skier, motorbike enthusiast, and hunter. He actively lobbied for the National Rifle Association and California Rifle Association. In later years, he also channeled energy into the Republican National Committee and California Voter Guide. Gene was briefly married and divorced during the 1950's to Ann Wilson of Montebello, during which time the couple had a daughter, Karyn. He preferred (and enjoyed) the life of an accomplished bachelor who was always the center of social activities and occasionally, amusing controversy. He was a devoted to his many friends and to

Those assertions don't sit well with de la Torre, who argues that the center keeps young people off the streets and encourages them to be involved citizens. “People don't like the idea of the advocacy and the community organizing and the social justice work but the thing is that that work is critical for the way we do the work,” he told the Daily Press earlier this year. “You can't just deliver services thinking you're going to address the problem of gang violence. You've got to do advocacy. You've got to hold systems accountable and that requires people speaking out.”

Stuff that led to Santa Monica beach closure is fatty acid Associated Press
THE BEACH Lifeguards say a substance that forced
the closure of a section of beach in Santa Monica is a fatty acid not dangerous to humans. The Santa Monica Fire Department with the assistance of LA County Lifeguards and Santa Monica Police Department closed the 1500-1700 block of the Santa Monica beach and adjacent waters due to a hazardous materials incident at about 8 p.m. Beachgoers were evacuated from the area until cleanup was complete at about 11:30 p.m. when the area was reopened. Los Angeles County lifeguards said Wednesday night that they've learned the chunky white substance is linoleic (lihn-ohLAY'-ick) acid, but they have yet to figure out where it came from. They say they collected enough to fill about half of a 55-gallon trash can. Linoleic acid is found in plant foods like nuts and vegetable oils but also has industrial uses in paints and varnishes. Once a hazardous materials team determined the substance was safe, cleanup began and the beach was soon reopened.

CAMP FROM PAGE 1
and Native American boy inside a WWII internment camp; and “Then I Stood Up,” which focuses on young adults of the civil rights movement who helped change a racist social system. Content specialist for the LA Opera, Karen Bacellar, said the opera camp was created “in an effort to spread a love of opera and the company's mission of socially responsible art.” “This is not your average summer camp. There are no tire swings and song singing by the campfire,” Bacellar said. “Instead, campers spend an intensive two weeks rehearsing and doing dramaturgical work for a final operatic performance. Kids and teens explore issues of social justice and are challenged to familiarize themselves with each story's historical significance and modern relevance as part of their own artistic preparation for the performance.” Two of the campers in the program are John Adams Middle School students, Amelia Mardesich, 13, and Aoife Schenz, 12. Both have been with the camp for five years. “I became involved in Opera Camp through my grandmother, who is a lifelong opera lover and an LA Opera subscriber,” Mardesich said. “She learned about the camp through the Opera for Educators classes, which she was invited to attend because she is a former elementary school teacher.” Schenz, who auditioned after her close friend Mardesich joined, loves the camp and hopes to stay with it until she is 17. “It exposes me to a type of music most kids are never introduced to and lets me express myself in that music. Most people
just watch opera. I get to be a part of opera,” Schenz said. Mardesich, who hopes to pursue a career in classical voice or opera, as well as professional ballet, says opera combines several things she cares deeply about, including singing, acting, dancing and “addressing serious issues through live performance.” “Opera Camp offers [me] a very special opportunity to spend two intense weeks with a community of people who share those interests, as well as an interest in social change,” Mardesich said. There are three characters called Spirits in the opera “Then I Stood Up,” and each girl is playing the role of one Spirit. “The Spirits are similar to a Greek Chorus, characters outside of the story line whose voices from the past encourage and support the other characters as they struggle for justice and equality,” Mardesich said. Schenz believes the Spirits are the conscience and inner voice of the characters throughout the civil rights story, giving the characters the strength to do what they believe in and know is right. Both girls are excited to be a part of the production and what it stands for. “Even though I have only heard an excerpt from 'Then I Stood Up,' it is my favorite LA Opera Camp production because I am particularly interested in the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, and because I have always tried to speak up when I see something unfair or wrong,” Mardesich said. “Then I Stood Up” will be performed at the Barnsdall Gallery Theatre at 4800 Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles on Saturday, Aug. 8, at 12 p.m. For more information, visit www.laopera.org. jennifer@smdp.com
