Emily Sawicki BAY: About 50 community members gathered under the Santa Monica Pier on Wednesday, Aug. 17, to participate in Heal the Bay’s inaugural Poetry Under the Pier event, featuring readings in English and Spanish from poets Ulalume González, Marjorie Agosín and Los Angeles Poet Laureate Lynne Thompson. The literary event took place inside Heal the Bay’s Santa Monica aquarium, with many poems featuring ocean and nature themes. The event celebrated the launch of two bilingual works of poetry: “Plagios/Plagiarisms, Volumes One and Two,” by Mexican poet Ulalume González de Leó and “Beyond the Time of Words/Más allá del tiempo de las palabras,” by Chilean poet Marjorie Agosín. The event, co-sponsored by Sixteen Rivers Press, was free and open to the public.

Several pandemic-era land use measures could be here to stay if a set of temporary provisions implemented in May 2020 to support businesses in the face of COVID-related challenges are made permanent by the City by the end of this year. The provisions have allowed businesses increased flexibility over the last two years by eliminating the need for certain permits, relaxing alcohol exemption conditions and making it easier for spaces to be used for multiple and mixed Santa Monica Bay moves forward on plan to breakwaterrebuild

Riders of the Big Blue Bus (BBB) will soon be able to provide more feedback on their experience in real-time through the “Rate My Ride” feature of the Transit app. The feature is being further developed with the help of a $330,432 grant awarded to BBB by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) as part of its Enhancing Mobility Innovation (EMI) Program. Aversion of the survey is already available to BBB users through the Transit app, but Robert McCall, the community engagement manager for BBB, said the new funding will allow them to take it a step farther towards better understanding customer needs. “The funding will afford us an opportunity to test and develop methods to improve the functionality and end-user experience for future iterations,” saidCongressmanMcCall.

If not codified, the provisions are set to expire on Dec. 31 and the city would revert to pre-pandemic restrictions.“Therestrictions that are currently in place are contrary to the economic recovery efforts to simplify standards to support restaurants on Main Street,” said Steve Mizokami, associate planner for the city. Jing Yeo, the planning manager for the city said that feedback from the business community regarding the temporary provisions has been overwhelmingly positive and several members of the public called into the meeting to voice their support for making them“Thepermanent.flexibility provided by the provisions has presented new opportunities for vacant spaces to be leased to a broader range of uses, particularly with respect to restaurants,” said Jennefir Ingle, an associate attorney at Harding Larmore Kutcher and Kozal specializing in land use law. According to staff, 70 small businesses in the city have permanently closed since the pandemic began. The relaxed measures have made it easier for new ones to open. Matt Stauffer, executive vice president of external affairs for the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce thinks that extending them will continue to be beneficial. “Hopefully we’re moving away from the era of uncertainty related to COVID, but we believe that permanent codification will provide stability and also support inclusive and equitable economic activity by allowing and encouraging smaller and a more diverse set of businesses to move in and revitalize our economy,” he said.

C.W. Driver Companies, a premier builder serving California for more than 103 years, today announced the completion of a 36,736-squarefoot creative office building at 1550 Euclid St. in downtown Santa Monica. The mixed-use retail and office building is located five minutes walking distance from the Metro Expo Line light rail train. The three-story, steel-frame structure is split into two wings by a U-shaped footprint above the ground level that centers around an exposed courtyard on the second floor. Stunning floor-to-ceiling glass wraps the building’s exterior, making it a focal point in Silicon Beach, the creative tech capital of Southern California. The first floor consists of 4,086 square feet of street-facing retail and 9,753 square feet of creative business and professional office space. The second floor houses an additional 12,280 square feet of creative business and professional office space, along with a fully functioning kitchen and an outdoor terrace. The third floor includes 9,664 additional square feet of office space and a screening room. The building also includes three levels of subterranean parking with 90 parking spaces and 23 custom bike racks for long-term storage in the lobby.
Study of Brain Tumor “Keyhole” Surgery for Meningiomas Shows Outstanding Outcomes
In a groundbreaking 13-year study, Pacific Neuroscience Institute neurosurgical and otolaryngology surgical teams demonstrated outstanding outcomes with minimally invasive keyhole surgery for the most common primary brain tumor in the largest such cohort published to date. The study, conducted in collaboration with Providence Saint John’s Health Center, was published in the July 28 issue of PLOS ONE. Findings demonstrate a combination of excellent tumor removal rates, lower surgical complication rates and a higher rate of functional preservation, compared to prior publications of intracranial meningioma surgery using more traditional approaches.
“Patients coming to us with brain tumors are understandably worried about their diagnoses and clinical outcomes,” said neurosurgeon Daniel Kelly, M.D., PNI director and senior author of the study. “Keyhole surgery aims to limit brain exposure and manipulation, using smaller strategically placed openings without the use of brain retractors and facilitated by gravity assistance and endoscopy. These techniques, along with improved neuro-anesthesia and our growing experience, benefit our patients by allowing, in most cases, a faster recovery, shorter hospital stay and rapid return to daily activities.”
Meningiomas, the most common primary brain tumor, are non-cancerous brain tumors estimated to be diagnosed in approximately 34,000 people in the United States each year. Surgery for meningiomas has evolved over the last 20 years from traditional larger open craniotomies to an increase in smaller, minimally invasive approaches, including through the natural openings of the nostrils (endonasal), through an eyebrow incision (supraorbital) and other small incisions often with the assistance of a high-definition endoscope (flexible microsurgical telescope).
PNI’s surgical team has helped lead this evolution in keyhole surgery for all brain and skull base tumors, with an overarching goal of maximal safe tumor removal and preservation of neurological function. “Although most meningiomas are slow-growing benign tumors, they often become adherent to blood vessels, cranial nerves, and can invade the skull base, said neurosurgeon Garni Barkhoudaian, M.D., chief of the radiosurgery program and co-author of the study. “Consequently, aiming for maximal safe removal is critical to the keyhole concept because attempting complete removal in some locations can come at a high risk of major complications.

Martin Hernandez PET: The Adoptable Pet of the Week is available from the Santa Monica Animal Shelter.
Hi, I’m Homie! A two-year-old male cat, ID#A06329! An alley cat through and through, I earned my cred on the streets of Santa Monica. Life on the streets could be destitute at times and a fight to survive. Nights were for hunting, days were for hiding, and territory needed protecting. My battle wounds tell the tale of throwdowns with feline ferals, to which I always prevailed.Eventhough mine was a rough life, I’m not bitter. The hustle made me wise and never hardened my ability to be kind. One day I stumbled upon some nice folks at the Salvation Army who were so charmed by my swagger, I came to be known as their “Homie,” the warehouse cat! And so began my story with a new life with humans, leaving the streets behind. In pursuit of a home of my own, I’ve authorized the availability of my adoption. A self-appointed, Head of the Cat Council at the Santa Monica Animal Shelter, opinionated and assertive, I’m relentlessly loud and chatty. Always one to start the talk, my discussions provoke intrigue and explore the merits of street life vs. a domesticated one. I’m still apprehensive of why toys should be more exciting than chasing a mouthwatering, warm-blooded mouse. I’ll nonetheless amuse you by giving them a good pounce. I’m open to swatting a feather pole toy, even though a succulent bird isn’t at the end of it. Lap and cuddles aren’t my thing, and I’m demanding of your petting to exhaustion. And while humans have proven to be cool big cats, I take pride in my independence and prefer things to be on my terms. Located in Santa Monica at 1640 9th Street, adoptions at Santa Monica Animal Shelter are by appointment only by calling (310) 458-8595, Tuesday through Saturday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. For a full list of their adoptables, and more information about the shelter and animal control, visit santamonica.gov, and search Animal Services.
KEEPING HOT DAYS COOL AND FUN FOR DOGS AND CATS
Bathe your dogs more often. Brush your cats frequently as matted hair can trap heat. Use damp towels to pet your dog and cat on their tummies, paws, armpits, chin, ears, and other areas with little to no fur. Choose cool hours. The sun is at its most intense during the midday and afternoon hours. Modify your dog walks and cat’s outdoor schedules to the morning and evening. If your schedules do not permit these times, keep dog walks short, slow, take breaks frequently, and favor the shade. Make shaded rest areas outside for cats such as cardboard boxes on their side, and cat tents. Sunscreen formulated for dogs and cats can prevent sun burn to noses, ears and paws, or areas in the body with little to no fur. Ask your veterinarian for recommendations.Outsidesurfaces like pavement, wooden decks, gravel, and sand can burn paws. Place your hands down on the ground and if within ten seconds it is too hot for you, it’s too hot for them! Booties for dogs, and paw wax can protect paws for both dog and cats. Keep them hydrated! Have easy access to water while outside, and inside of your home. Carrying a dog water bottle with a rubber bowl attached can offer you

Surveys will be anonymous and riders will be prompted to respond before, after and during trips. BBB has been awarded substantial money before, including $870,000 in 2016 from the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee’s Near-Zero Engine Incentive Program. This money helped BBB to install low emission engines into many of its vehicles. The department has a goal of completely transitioning to a zero emission fleet by McCall2030.said that the grant money will not directly affect BBBs sustainability goals or transition to zero emissions, but will allow the department to collect more specific customer feedback and overall enhance the service.BBB is one of nine projects across the country to receive money through the EMI program this year. The goal of the program is to “promote technology projects that center the passenger experience and encourage people to get on board.” In a press release last week, Rep. Lieu said he believes BBB embodies these goals and is a worthy investment.“Investing in eco-friendly public transit systems like the Big Blue Bus is key to helping people get where they need to be while reducing damage caused to the environment,” said Rep. Lieu. “It is a climatefriendly and equitable service that has proven to be an innovative public transportation model in our community.” McCall said he does not yet have an exact timeline for the launch of the enhanced survey feature, but is actively working with Transit to develop a rollout plan.

convenient access to water quickly, and frequently on walks. Place water bowls in the shade, and all areas your dogs and cats have access to. Since cats are known to enjoy moving water, a water fountain can encourage them to drink. Cats and dogs are not attracted to warm water, which may deter them from drinking. Change the water frequently, and add ice cubes to the water to keep it cool. As an added source of hydration, add wet food to their meals, or water to kibble. Frozen carrots, pumpkin, and fruits are appetizing to dogs. Dogs and cats do not sweat and can overheat easily! Be vigilant and look for signs that your dog and cat may be in distress which may require immediate veterinarian attention. For dogs these symptoms may include panting, excessive drooling, lethargy, difficulty breathing, pale appearance, blood shot eyes, dizziness, lack of coordination, unusual agitation, vomiting, and diarrhea. Heatstroke in cats can present as agitation, stretching out, breathing rapidly, lethargy, skin hot to the touch, glazed eyes, vomiting, drooling, and slow bounce back of skin. Keep them indoors when it’s too hot outside! Close areas like conservatories, greenhouses, sheds, and garages as they trap heat. Keep the shades closed and the air circulating by using an air conditioner and bladeless fans to prevent injury if they are knocked over. Dogs can stay cool by sprawling out on a cool mat, damp towels, tile, and hardwood floors. Cats can rule a cool realm in empty bathtubs, showers, sinks, dark rooms, under chairs, and like dogs, they enjoy a good cool floor too. Plenty of fun can be had inside! Pet pools in shaded areas can be all the rave for dogs. Provide them with high value toys, chews, cognitive activities like hide-and-seek games, board games that reveal treats, games that they can play with you, and practice obedience cues. Cats can swat ice cubes, catnip filled mice and fish pole toys can create opportunities for a fun prey and pounce, a laser toy can make way for an exciting chase, brushing sessions can be purr-worthy, and experts at relaxation, naturally breaks for naps are added satisfaction.

I’ve seen proposals by a number of agencies, local and far away, to insert pipes through breakwaters or notch them to allow for more water circulation.” But, Ford added, he didn’t yet know what the particular issues may prove to be. “I appreciate what you’re saying and I appreciate Mr. Burns showing up and presenting his concerns about the subject,” Ford said. “I agree they’re all verifiable concerns.”SMBRC Governing Board members were given until Oct. 26 to approve the work plan, which will be revisited every September throughout its five-year timeline. Final approval for the fiscal year 2022-23 projects is set to be discussed at the Sept. 15, 2022, meeting. If approved, The Bay Foundation will submit the work plan to the U.S. EPA for approval prior to implementation. emily@smdp.com haven’t had a lot of rain and the
During its Aug. 18 meeting, the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission’s (SMBRC) Governing Board voted unanimously, 23-0, to approve a work plan outlining eight projects to protect the Santa Monica Bay’s resources and bring more equitable coastal access to underserved communities around Los Angeles, utilizing a $4.5 million federal grant, spread out over the next five years.

The SMBRC Governing Board includes 28 voting members representing various agencies and offices with a stake in the future of the Santa Monica Bay; not all voting members were present at the latest meeting, but all 23 members in attendance signed off on the initial plans.Those projects include an estimated $5.6 million project to restore the Santa Monica breakwater (mostly relying on other SMBRC funding), which proponents believe will result in habitat restoration on the Santa Monica coast as well as Monicachairdueprojectedwaveprotectioninfrastructurefromaction,whichistostrengthentoclimatechange.DeanKubani,oftheSantaCommission
on Sustainability, Environmental Justice, and the Environment and former chief sustainability officer, called into the meeting to voice his support for the proposal, while also praising the commission’s work preserving natural sand dunes near the Annenberg Community Beach House (a project by The Bay Foundation, which is associated with SMBRC). “I’m specifically very excited about the Santa Monica Breakwater Rocky Intertidal Preserve proposal,” Kubani said at the meeting. “I see that as a multi-benefit project similar to the dune projects that will not only help to protect Santa Monica Pier from storm surges and sea level rise but also provide fantastic habitat — that rocky intertidal habitat — that we need along the coast to help protect some very threatened species.” Kubani said he hoped kelp reforestation may also be in the future for that intertidal zone. Later, Kubani offered his help to “shepherd through any approvals with the City of Santa Monica” through his position as chair of the sustainability commission. There was one member of the public who raised concerns about some possible side effects of the proposal.
“A breakwall could negatively impact water quality,” local resident Duncan Burns cautioned, citing the Santa Monica Pier’s consistently poor water quality scores and high bacteria levels — ”which especially impacts underserved communities from Los Angeles — all over LA — that come to access to the watersports and activities near the Pier.” Board Member Jim Stahl of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board took up Burns’ concerns when it came time for commissioners to comment. “We haven’t had a lot of rain and the bacteria levels remain high in these areas,” Stahl said, later adding, “I think a lot of it has to do with birds.” Stahl requested that the SMBRC pay close attention to addressing dry weather high bacteria levels. Heal the Bay representative and SMBRC Governing Board member Annalisa Moe also agreed with Stahl and Burns that water quality and circulation were key issues, or what she called “legitimate concerns.”Inresponse, SMBRC Director Tom Ford said the project, still in its concept phase, would be conducting sonar mapping, biological surveys and studies to address any potential issues before final plans are drawn up.

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Every move has a price. While weighing one action against another, the cost may be easily assessed. The cost of inaction won’t be so obvious but is equally important to consider.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
HOROSCOPES PUZZLES
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s really no point in arguing with people who are already 100% convinced they’re right. Certainty takes up the mental space needed for learning. Respectfully agreeing to disagree may be the best you can do.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve learned from the best teachers, and you’ve learned even more from the worst teachers. Examples of what you don’t want are extremely valuable and memorable, too. Your body automatically steers away from them.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll follow a whisper of curiosity. Before you know it you’re in a different world and enjoying work that widens your interests, grows your skills and evolves your worldview.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Very few people are lucky enough to be surrounded by support. Many must advocate for themselves or seek out circles of support. You have a talent for encouraging and lifting others, and it’s very valuable indeed.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The more honest you are about your feelings, strengths and weaknesses, the better you’ll know yourself. And the better you know yourself, the easier it is to arrange your life in the way that leads you to be the person you want to be.
You’ve been practicing and preparing. This is a year to show the world what you can do! New resources will be made available to you, including a keen assistant. The social scene is filled with easygoing fun balanced by enough competition to make things interesting. Your financial picture brightens with an exciting side gig. Aries and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 38, 44, 1 and 15. (Aug. 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Try not to get too frustrated with the situation, even if nothing about it seems to yield to your influence. The only thing you can change about this is your attitude -- but that will change absolutelyAQUARIUSeverything.(Jan.20-Feb. 18). Options abound. Some seductive routes are dead wrong for you; others intrigue you for a reason. Don’t worry, you’ll know in the earliest stages. Just make sure you act quickly according to the information your gut provides. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you don’t know what the competition is doing, you’ll be at a disadvantage. If you obsess about what the competition is doing, it will affect your productivity. You will now strike the perfect balance of awareness in this regard.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Decide where you are and are not willing to go with another person. The closer the relationship, the more potential it has to alter the course of your life for better or worse. You’ll be very careful in thisSCORPIOregard. (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Indulgence can be selflove or self-denial, depending on the situation. When you’ve been very strict, letting yourself relax can be the sweetest kindness. When you’ve been too lax, pulling in the reigns is the loving move.

Come celebrate the 50th anniversary of the “finest surf film ever made” at Laemmle Monica Film Center. When Greg MacGillivray and Jim Freeman’s iconic surf film Five Summer Stories premiered in 1972, it took the surfing world by storm. The film’s unusual format – a montage of five-plus exciting, controversial and beautiful vignettes or stories – perfectly captured a fractured era in which an explosion of creativity and revolutionary change was shaking down the old order, taking the sport of surfing into new and unknown territory. Five Summer Stories is directed and produced by Greg MacGillivray and Jim Freeman, and photographed by MacGillivray, Freeman, Bud Browne (“Going Surfin’”) and George Greenough, with narration written by Drew Kampion. Music is composed by the 1970s rock/surf band Honk and features songs by the Beach Boys. The film features 35 surfers, including Gerry Lopez, David Nuuhiwa, Eddie Aikau, Jeff Hakman, Corky Carroll, Buttons Kaluhiokalani, Dru Harrison, Shaun Tomson, Margo Godfrey Oberg, Lynne Boyer, Billy Hamilton, Sammy Hawk, Herbie Fletcher, Rory Russell, and many more. The 135-minute runtime includes a 15 minute intermission. Find more information and reserve your spot stories#get-tickets.https://www.laemmle.com/film/five-summer-here:
