SMMUSD PTA is ready for Bus only lane coming to Lincoln the new school year MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor
MARINA ANDALON Daily Press Staff Writer
Schools are gearing up for the first day of class. However students are not the only ones who are a bit anxious to start the new school year. Parents, teachers and staff members are also looking forward in continuing their involvement in PTA, parent teacher association. The Santa Monica – Malibu PTA Council has 16 different PTA units, from preschool through high school. According to their website there are 7,000 parents, students, staff and community members who
volunteer more than 12,000 hours annually to support children and families within the community. Jennifer Smith, SMM PTA Council President has been a member of PTA for nearly 11 years. She said, “It has been empowering to be able to advocate for education as a member of PTA. We work to foster the understanding that, as parents, we are a critical part of our children’s success in school and how parents can engage with our administrators, teachers and our children in support, colSEE PTA PAGE 7
A dedicated bus lane could be in place on Lincoln Blvd. by midSeptember and local officials hope the program will spark regional interest in establishing a bus-only lane along the busy thoroughfare. The dedicated lane will operate on weekdays only. The right lane on Lincoln will be cleared of traffic/parked cars from 7 a.m. – 9 a.m. northbound and 4 – 7 p.m. southbound from Ozone to Bay Street. BBB staff said the restrictions could decrease travel times by up to eight minutes.
“Our estimate is that it will save eight minutes on average,” said Suja Lowenthal, DPD Community & Government Engagement Manager for the Big Blue Bus. “The savings will be less on days when traffic is moving fast in the other lanes (typically early in the week) and more when it isn’t (later in the week). The savings will also diminish if we see the lane being regularly blocked by deliveries, or other activities. Opening a lane like this is a process of the community adapting the normal activities of the street around the new use.” The new lane ends at Bay Street because buses on Lincoln make a turn at Pico Blvd. No buses travel
over the freeway as part of the regular service and only one bus uses Lincoln north of the freeway (route 18) when it travels a few blocks from Montana Ave. to Santa Monica Blvd. Staff said the lack of continuous bus service along Lincoln and the vastly different traffic patterns didn’t warrant extension of the lane to the north. “Dedicated bus lanes do the most good when they bypass severe congestion with frequent bus service,” said Lowenthal. “In that way, the bus lane has the potential to move more people than a regular travel lane, thereby making the SEE BBB PAGE 7

SMO
Petition challenging the legality of a “settlement agreement”regarding SMO The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and five other stakeholders filed a brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, challenging the legality of a “settlement agreement” between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the city of Santa Monica. The highly unusual agreement, which was concluded last January with no public input and with disregard for numerous mandatory statutory requirements, would restrict and ultimately prohibit aviation access to Santa Monica Municipal Airport (SMO), a vital aviation gateway to Southern California. “As this filing makes perfectly clear, NBAA will defend our nation’s critical aviation infrastructure and protect general aviation’s access to airports and airspace,” said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. “By allowing ‘local control’ driven by a vocal minority, with complete disregard for system-wide impacts, the loss of this critical reliever airport shifts the burden of accommodating air traffic to other area airports and has a major negative impact on area residents, businesses, general aviation and the flying public.” Bolen noted the importance of SMO’s FAA designation as a “reliever airport” for congested Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and as an economic generator for the city of Santa Monica, making it a critical piece of infrastructure for area residents. SMO also supports law enforcement and air medical flights, and would play a key role in the event of an earthquake or other natural disaster. On May 4, the D.C. Circuit deferred FAA’s motion to dismiss and referred the case to a merits panel for a full review of the legality of the agency’s agreement with the city of Santa Monica. At the same time, the court denied a motion by NBAA and the other stakeholders for a stay against the FAA, and an injunction against the city, to put on hold any efforts to shorten SMO’s runway. Read NBAA’s response to that decision. IN THE PETITION, NBAA ARGUES THAT WHEN THE FAA ENTERED INTO ITS AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY: ■ The agency disregarded the statutory requirements for a study under the Airport Noise and Capacity Act (ANCA) ■ Ignored the requirement to show that releasing SMO from its obligations would benefit aviation ■ Neglected to document requirements rooted in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) ■ Failed to provide the mandatory opportunity for public notice and comment ■ Did not follow other legal requirements ■ Because of these deficiencies, NBAA contends “the agreement must be vacated.” For decades, FAA agreed with NBAA and other aviation industry stakeholders that SMO must remain open and accessible, and opposed the city’s recurring efforts to restrict operations and close the airport. Prior to the settlement agreement, SMO was obligated to remain open until 2023 based on grant agreements, and in perpetuity based on the surplus property deed. However, in January 2017, after secret negotiations with the city, the FAA agreed to release the city from obligations that it had previously defended. Under the terms of the agreement, Santa Monica is only required to keep the historic airfield open through Dec. 31, 2028. In the meantime, the city has been authorized by the FAA to reduce the length of SMO’s sole runway to 3,500 feet. Other parties to today’s filing include the Santa Monica Airport Association, a user group and longstanding proponent for maintaining the airport; two airport-based businesses, Bill’s Air Center, Inc. and Kim Davidson Aviation, Inc.; and Redgate Partners, LLC and Wonderful Citrus, LLC, two operators that frequently utilize SMO. - SUBMITTED BY SANTA MONICA AIRPORT ASSOCIATION

David Gergen has worked for four presidents, from Nixon to Clinton. Even though Gergen is a lifelong Republican and I’m a lifelong Democrat, I always listen carefully to what he says. Following the Charlottesville tragedy, Gergen said, “Trump cannot address the hatred in the country, until he addresses the hate in his own heart.” Unfortunately, the Trumps have a nightmarish record on race. In 1927, Trump’s father, Fred, was arrested at a KKK rally. In 1973, Fred and Donald were sued by the Justice Department for race bias in housing rentals. (Blacks were told at Trump buildings there were no apartments available, while whites were offered units.) In 1989, there was the infamous “Central Park 5” case. A female jogger was brutally beaten and raped resulting in the arrest of four African American and one Hispanic youths. Almost immediately, Trump took out newspaper ads calling for the death penalty. (So much for his “I always like to get the facts before expressing an opinion.”) While DNA evidence proved the group’s innocence and the real rapist actually confessed, Trump never apologized. “I’m not big on apologies.” he’s often said. Then again, when questioned if he ever asks God’s forgiveness, Trump has also said, “Why should I when I don’t make mistakes?” In 2014, NYC paid the men, wrongfully incarcerated between six and thirteen years, $40,000,000. As for Trump’s original Charlottesville statement, the Washington Post headline read, “Trump Babbles in Face of Tragedy.” Senator Orin Hatch tweeted, “My brother didn’t die fighting Hitler so Nazis could go unchallenged in the U.S.” Michael Gerson, former George W. Bush speechwriter, labeled Trump’s speech, “Trite, infantile and meaningless.” Trump’s avoiding naming the KKK, neoNazis and white supremacists, however, was intentional. And white supremacists who used to hide under rocks, or sheets, are emboldened by the president and out in the open. Not surprisingly, Trump has received world-wide rebukes, including from Germany. However, Trump got a grateful “thank you” tweet from aging former KKK Grand Wizard, David Duke. (Whom latenight TV host, Stephen Colbert says “looks like a Grand Lizard.”) Historic, in a Republican administration, CEO’s on Trump’s “Business Advisory Councils” resigned in protest. Trump tweeted angrily, “For every CEO I have many others waiting.” (Translation: He had none!) Like a schoolyard bully taking his ball home, Trump disbanded the councils. From inside the White House the joke is, Trump’s three Generals, Mattis, McMaster and Kelly are the “Axis of Adults.” No one who followed Trump’s campaign
should be surprised by his overtures to racists.. At rallies Trump frequently longed for the good old days “when protesters were carried out on stretchers.” Trump has an admitted fondness for violence. (And war!) Remember his infamous “I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue?” As a consequence, Trump rallies felt like a rope short of a lynch mob as candidate Trump encouraged his rabid followers to attack protesters, even promising, “I’ll pay your legal fees.” (Google “Racism in the 60’s versus racism at Trump rallies” and the video will leave you shocked. On the campaign, Trump blatantly lied to court favor with white supremacists. When interviewed by CNN’s Jake Tapper, Trump said with an orange face, “I don’t know anything about David Duke.” But there’s video from 2000 in which he calls Duke “a racist and bigot.” In that same interview, Trump feigned ignorance about white supremacists, telling Tapper, “Send me a list and I’ll tell you what I think.” Doesn’t “white supremacist” say it all? Apparently not. Trump’s incredibly weak “many sides” Saturday statement was a disaster. So much so, on Monday, albeit grudgingly, he read like a robot from a script in which he criticized the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists by name. Actor Bryan Cranston commented, “The event had the appearance of a hostage video.” (When did it become difficult to criticize Nazis? Adolph would be delighted.) On Tuesday, at a Trump Tower event to promote infrastructure, an unhinged Trump went off script and proved his Monday statement was fake. Horrified, Chief of Staff General Kelly looked glumly down at the ground, as the “real” Trump attacked reporters and returned to his “both sides are to blame.” Afterwards and completely inappropriately, Trump bragged that in Charlottesville he owned “one of the largest wineries in the U.S.” (Fact-check: it isn’t close to one of the largest.) On Wednesday, there was an overflowing and emotional church memorial for 32-old Heather Heyer. Her amazing mother who refers to hate back, remembered her daughter as intelligent, caring and brave. Donald Trump, seemingly none of those, has “no regrets” for any of his Charlottetsville comments. Senator Lindsey Graham observed that Trump’s remarks, “are dividing Americans instead of healing them.” The ever-wise Gergen opined, “Trump’s massive insecurities make him a danger to the country.” The nightmare continues.

In “Free Speech Has a Price”, Daily Press, Aug. 16, Charles Andrews says about the longed-for Trump impeachment we hope for, “Give me even the reprehensible Pence if it means peace.” But once we get Cheeto out, will we have peace with Vice-President Pence as President? Or would we still have America’s endless wars, attacks on Planned Parenthood, cut backs in education and health care, and the continued threats to the environment? No, I’m sorry to say we will only have a “kinder, gentler” hateful leadership.

We share the nation’s heartache following the events in Charlottesville. It’s painful to see blatant hate played out in such a menacing way. We stand in solidarity with Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer in his courageous battle against the forces of white supremacy and ethnic and religious bigotry. We share our condolences with the family of Heather Heyer and those injured. We mourn the death of the two Virginia State Troopers who died doing their duty, protecting the rights and safety of all. There is always room in cities like Charlottesville and Santa Monica for dissent, no matter how uncomfortable or outside the mainstream. But we saw in Charlottesville forces bent on more than expressing their opinions. We join Mayor Signer and mayors across the country in condemning intimidation, violence and terrorism. Similar incidents of intolerance and intimidation have recently happened in our own community. We will always respect the rights of free speech, but we will not tolerate coercion or violence. We speak for our colleagues on the City Council, our City staff and the vast majority in our community to reaffirm that Santa Monica fervently supports the equitable treatment of all people—regardless of race, cultural background, age, citizenship, gender or sexual orientation. We also understand that honoring our differences is vital to ensuring city services are responsive and effective. The City of Santa Monica is part of a network of public agencies called the Government Alliance on Race & Equity working to address racial equity and its implications for public policy and service delivery. We look forward to sharing more of this work, including how everyone in our community can get involved. America has gone through dark periods in the past and we will navigate through this one. The key lies in practicing our nation’s values of liberty, tolerance and inclusion. In this, we stand united with Charlottesville and every other American community—to defend the American way of life, protecting every American from violent terrorism, whatever its origin. We take inspiration from the immortal words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.:”The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” As Americans, as Santa Monicans, we stand together against violence, terrorism and the intolerance that spawns them. We call upon all who love our nation and our community to respond to this crisis in the spirit of Dr. King—and drive out hate with love.

NEW YORK (AP) Major companies such as Google, Facebook and PayPal are banishing a growing cadre of extremist groups and individuals in the wake of the deadly clash at a white-nationalist rally last weekend in Virginia. Civil rights advocates welcomed the moves, but say more needs to be done — and more should have been done earlier. Here is a look at some of the technology services that have banned hate groups or have otherwise come out against white supremacists and their supporters: AIRBNB
Ahead of the rally, the housing booking service Airbnb barred rentals to people it believed were traveling to participate. The company said it used its existing background checks and “input from the community” to identify users who didn’t align with its standards. APPLE
Apple is donating $2 million to two human rights groups as part of CEO Tim Cook’s pledge to help lead the fight against the hate that fueled the violence in Charlottesville. Apple is giving $1 million apiece to Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League. The iPhone maker also will match employee donations to those two groups and other human rights organizations on a two-for-one basis. SOCIAL MEDIA
GO GREEN
With sustainable, building and landscape supplies and water features for drought resistant landscape
Facebook removed several groups and individuals from its service and Instagram for what it calls violations of terms banning hate speech. Groups included Vanguard America, Physical Removal and Genuine Donald Trump. The company uses a combination of artificial intelligence and human moderators to weed out groups, posts and people that violate its policies. Spokeswoman Ruchika Budhraja acknowledges this is a difficult task, as determining what is hate speech is more difficult than something like a beheading video or child pornography. Twitter, meanwhile, appears to have suspended the account for neo-Nazi site Daily Stormer, though the company doesn’t comment on individual accounts. SERVICE PROVIDERS

The Daily Stormer’s publisher said he has been effectively “banned from the internet” after mocking the victim of a deadly car attack during the protests in Charlottesville. Andrew Anglin said by email he is “figuring out the next step” after four domain registration companies refused to service his site. GoDaddy and Google said earlier that the site violated their terms of service. After briefly reappearing under a Russian domain name, the site was again offline Wednesday after the security company Cloudflare Inc. dropped him as a customer, leaving the site vulnerable to hacking attacks. Email marketing firm MailChimp said some groups had their accounts terminated after it changed its terms of service on Monday to exclude customers whose primary purpose was “inciting harm” or promoting “discriminatory, hateful, or harassing content.” Squarespace, a website service
company, said it had given certain groups 48 hours to leave “in light of recent events.” Identity Evropa, a northern California hate group that helped organize participants in Charlottesville, tweeted Monday that it had lost service from MailChimp, Squarespace and PayPal. ONLINE PAYMENTS
PayPal has been removing payment accounts linked to known hate groups in the months leading up to Charlottesville, according to the company and a civil rights organization it was working with. For example, the account for the Daily Stormer was banned several months ago. In a blog post, the company said it “strives to navigate the balance between freedom of expression and open dialogue — and the limiting and closing of sites that accept payments or raise funds to promote hate, violence and intolerance.” Online fundraising sites GoFundMe and Patreon also banned people and canceled fundraisers associated with right-wing hate groups. GoFundMe confirmed that it removed “multiple campaigns” for James Fields, the driver accused of driving his car into protesters and killing a woman. SPOTIFY
The music streaming service banned music it said “favors hatred or incites violence against race, religion, sexuality or the like” after it was alerted to white supremacist bands on its service by the music blog Digital Music News . The blog found bands identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as white power music streaming on Spotify. FINDING LOVE
Dating site OKCupid tweeted that it had banned white nationalist Christopher Cantwell, saying “There is no room for hate in a place where you’re looking for love.” OUTSIDE THE TECH WORLD
Discover said Thursday that it is “in the process” of terminating the accounts of hate groups. The racial justice group Color of Change had called on the credit card company, along with American Express, Mastercard and Visa, to stop processing funds for hate groups. Amex said most of the websites it was alerted to by activists already do not accept its credit cards. The company said it is “currently reviewing the other sites and will take the appropriate actions. We maintain the right to terminate any relationship that is harmful to our brand.” Mastercard said in a statement that it reviewed the websites “provided by civic leaders and others” and shut down the use of cards on sites it saw as inciting violence. At the same time, the company said it generally doesn’t block cards “based on our disagreement with specific views espoused or promoted.” Visa issued a similar statement, saying that while it bans illegal transactions, it does not restrict “lawful expression of views, even if we may find the organization or its positions to be offensive.” Associated Press Writers Ryan Nakashima in San Francisco, Ken Sweet in New York and Matt O’Brien in Providence, Rhode Island, contributed to this story.

investment a benefit to the community. As such, the City of Santa Monica did not choose to apply the dedicated lane treatment to the areas on Lincoln north of downtown.” Staff said they hope data from the Santa Monica lane will help motivate Los Angeles officials to move more quickly on their long-awaited plans for a dedicated lane along Lincoln. “We don’t control beyond our city limits how the road geometry works, the city of LA has for its consideration for its long range plans a bus only lane, we didn’t want to wait until they get their side done because we don’t know how long that will be,” said Lowenthal. A dedicated bus lane received conceptual approval back in 2005 when City Hall began discussions on alterations to Lincoln Blvd. When Caltrans relinquished control of the road in 2012 the city began gearing up for resurfacing the road and started to hold community meetings. Progress proceeded in fits and starts along with the rest of the

Smith explains PTA can help provide a rich educational experience through fundraising, raising awareness about education relevant legislative issues, and funding after school and summer programs. Members of PTA volunteer at elementary school events, participating in School Smarts Parent Academy and fundraisers throughout the year. “However parents choose to participate, it sends the message to children that school is important and valued. Giving parents ways to engage is PTA’s goal,” said Smith. PTAs also run after school programs and partner with the Santa Monica-Malibu Education Foundation each year to bring Summer Adventure to the district. Every year they are able to bring a low-cost, fiveweek enrichment program for elementary and middle school students. They also work
Lincoln Neighborhood Corridor Plan until February of this year when Council finally moved the plan with its capital transportation phase that includes the new lanes. Principal Planner Peter James said the hope is the new lanes will help boost ridership. “We do plan on collecting data to demonstrate its effectiveness in reducing congestion and increasing ridership,” he said. “That’s a focus of the Big Blue Bus to counterbalance some of the ridership loss that they have been experiencing.” Bus ridership has decreased in recent years even as other forms of public transit, like the Expo Line, have been incredibly successful. Lowenthal said working on projects like the new lanes are important to help increase usability and are an exciting project for BBB. “It’s a little bit of a boost, the more we can have of those little tactics the better it is for us to manage congestion where we can,” she said. Staff are aiming to have the lanes restriped and in use by mid-September editor@smdp.com
together to raise funds for academic and enrichment programs, as well as professional development for all staff to ensure a high quality education for all SMMUSD students. Smith explains it all starts with becoming a member and then jumping in where ever you can. PTA General membership meetings are held once a month during the school year. “We are extremely fortunate to have strong and active PTA units throughout our district and could not accomplish all we do for our students without their help, support, and advocacy,” said SMMUSD Public Relations Officer Gail Pinsker. To find out more information parents can drop into their school’s office to ask about PTA. Each school has a PTA website that can be accessed through smmusd.org. “Parent engagement is very important to the success of our students and PTA provides a myriad of opportunities for parents to be involved in their child’s education and support school site programs,” said Pinsker. “We encourage parents to join their school PTA units and place high value on our partnership with PTA, as well as our partnership with the Education Foundation.” marina@smdp.com

ON AUGUST 10, 2017 AT ABOUT 11:46 A.M. Officers responded to a radio call for service regarding an assault with a deadly weapon occurring at the 3000 block of Ocean Front Walk. The reporting party indicated a victim had suffered a stab wound with a possible female suspect standing nearby. Officers located the victim and rendered aid to him. The victim was treated at the scene and transported to a local hospital for treatment. The female subject was detained for an investigation. Officers determined the female subject was returning to her husband who was in the beach parking lot and noticed her husband was in a heated conversation with the victim. The male subject and victim continue to yell obscenities and lewd remarks towards each other. A struggle ensued between the two at which point the suspect retrieved a utility knife and swung it at the victim, striking him in the bicep. The suspect was taken into custody. The victim was treated and released with minor injuries. Dashonna Espie, 43, from North Hollywood was arrested for conspiracy and assault with a deadly weapon. Bail was set at $30,000.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 18)
By PETER GALLAGHER
Strange Brew
By JOHN DEERING
Your commitments follow a natural course; they ripen and fall from the vine. This frees up your time. You’ll get a thrill from learning. Each skill you acquire in 2018 will double your odds of being successful. To you this is about much more than money, but you’ll love the extra cash anyway, and you’ll buy something big in June. Libra and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 3, 24, 39 and 45.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
You’re not interested in being a decent communicator or an adequate leader. You want to be great. That’s why you’ll work out the solutions before you point out the problem. What use is complaining if you can’t make it better?
Sleep is a process based on phases. It doesn’t work right if the phases are interrupted. In that case you have to go back to the beginning and start all over. Work is the same. Shield against interruptions, as there will be many today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
The research suggests that for many people, talking about themselves can be more rewarding than food or money. Giving someone the opportunity to do this is thereby a very valuable gift.
No matter how hard you look, the workings of the heart can never be fully seen or understood. Anyway, some things are best approached with the cursory attention that keeps daily life moving along. Ruminate at a later date.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) When you feel a little blue, you’re apt to behave in ways to reinforce the mood. It’s why having a reason to fake happiness -- such as to interact with children, strangers or your boss - can be a passageway to real happiness.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll be in a position to be rated, judged, critiqued or followed. Your audience will be skeptical, and you can win them over with your delivery of information you know to be true. They’ll feel your integrity.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) You’re trying to keep it classy. You behave as though your every moment were going to be broadcast to the people you most want to impress. It will help to remember who those people are and keep them in mind through your day.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your original plan won’t seem nearly as exciting once you realize that other people are out in the big, wide world having some fun. Review your priorities so that whatever you decide, you can do it consciously and feel good about it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ve a ritualistic approach to things about your life that don’t really require such care. It’s working for you. So don’t skip steps, and don’t change details or the order. Rituals give things meaning and make them interesting, and they have a habit-forming potential.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
You’ll be the most disciplined and mentally sharp within the first four hours after waking. Take advantage of this by getting the hard work done and over with. By lunch, you’ll already be ahead of the game.
Entitlement is a contagious disease. One person decides “I deserve this!” and the next gets the bug: “Well if he deserves it then maybe I deserve that and more.” Choose your company carefully. Prize humility and modesty.
Dogs of C-Kennel

Whatever you get into today (work, relationships, projects) leave yourself an out. That’s only smart. As things develop, so will your feelings, and right now you don’t know how you’ll feel about it next week.
Zack Hill
By JOHN DEERING & JOHN NEWCOMBE
Unpredictable Moon The ability to act in unpredictable ways sets man apart from the other animals whose set patterns can be learned. This is how man became the hunter instead of the hunted. Humans both fear and thrill to surprises. We’ll be drawn to creating and experiencing them as the moon makes over half a dozen aspects through Cancer.
