The Santa Monica Conservancy is hosting an event this weekend highlighting the rich history of the Church in Ocean Park and delving into its role in many of the city’s progressive movements. The event is part of the Conservancy’s ongoing Santa Monica Mosaic virtual lecture series, which aims to tell the stories of the people and places that make up the community. The series was launched three years ago in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter and other social justice movements.“Weshifted our emphasis to the make-up of Santa Monica,” said Libby Motika, a longtime volunteer with the conservancy who has helped organize the events. “We’ve covered every single community that has had something to do with the history of Santa Monica, beginning with the Tongva — the indigenous group — going through the rancho period, Jewish, Japanese, more contemporary Mexican.

Coleman cited personal reasons for withdrawing his candidacy in an email shared with the Daily Press. “This morning, I made the painstaking decision to withdraw from the race for Santa MonicaMalibu School Board in this November’s election,” Coleman wrote. “As I am unexpectedly relocating an ailing, elderly relative to Santa Monica – and becoming their primary caregiver – my priority and focus at this time must be their health and wellbeing.”

Coleman was appointed to the School Board early last year to fill a vacancy left by Oscar de la Torre, a longtime member who departed the School District’s governing board following a successful race for Santa Monica City Council. His appointment followed an unsuccessful bid for the seat in the November 2020 election, in which he came second runner up behind another candidate, Jason Feldman.

Photo by Jessica Brown SENIORS: After two years of social distancing and isolation, is the class of 2023 ready to get back to normal? The answer seems to be yes after this Wednesday, when around 200 Seniors gathered in the predawn dark of the Santa Monica beach with their classmates to watch the sunrise and kickoff their last year of high school. The event was organized by the ASB Senior Cabinet and generously sponsored by Yerba Mate and Bagel Nosh. Students played games, went in the ocean and enjoyed each others company before heading to school. The event was a great way to reintroduce school spirit at Samohi and has students excited for what is in store for the rest of the year.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Santa Monica invites Proposals for: Park Condition Assessment Project Project No. SP2672
The affidavit argues a search of Mar-aLago was necessary due to the highly sensitive material found in the boxes recovered by the National Archives. Of 184 documents marked classified, 25 were at the top secret level, the affidavit says. Some had special markings suggesting they included information from highly sensitive human sources or the collection of electronic “signals” authorized by a special intelligence court.

ERIC TUCKER Associated Press Fourteen of the 15 boxes recovered from former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate early this year contained classified documents, many of them top secret, mixed in with miscellaneous newspapers, magazines and personal correspondence, according to an FBI affidavit released Friday. No space at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was authorized for the storage of classified material, according to the court papers, which laid out the FBI’s rationale for searching the property this month, including “probable cause to believe that evidence of obstruction will be found.”
The City of Santa Monica is inviting proposals from qualified persons or firms interested in providing professional services for the Park Condition Assessment Project (SP2672).
Trump has long insisted, despite clear evidence to the contrary, that he fully cooperated with government officials. And he has rallied Republicans behind him by painting the search as a politically motivated witch hunt intended to damage his reelection prospects. He repeated that refrain on his social media site Friday, saying he and his representatives had a close working relationship with the FBI and “GAVE THEM MUCH.”Theaffidavit does not provide new details about 11 sets of classified records recovered during the Aug. 8 search at Mar-a-Lago but instead concerns a separate batch of 15 boxes that the National Archives and Records Administration retrieved from the home in January. The National Archives then sent the matter to the Justice Department, indicating in its referral that a review showed “a lot” of classified materials, according to the affidavit.
Proposers shall upload RFP via OpenGov Procurement, no later than 12:00 p.m. on Monday September 26, 2022. Size of the electronic proposal shall not exceed 10 MB.
FBI: Trump mixed top secret docs with magazines, other items
RFP questions to be submitted to via OpenGov Procurement, no later than 5:00 p.m. on Friday, September 9, 2022.
“The government is conducting a criminal investigation concerning the improper removal and storage of classified information in unauthorized spaces, as well as the unlawful concealment or removal of government records,” an FBI agent wrote on the first page of the affidavit in seeking a judge’s permission for a warrant to search the property. Documents previously made public show that federal agents are investigating potential violations of three federal laws, including one that governs gathering, transmitting or losing defense information under the Espionage Act. The other statutes address the concealment, mutilation or removal of records and the destruction, alteration or falsification of records in federal investigations.
Notice is hereby given that the City of Santa Monica has developed the Proposed HOME-ARP Allocation Plan for use of $2,220,124 in federal funds awarded to the City of Santa Monica by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HOME-ARP provides funding to participating jurisdictions for activities to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability across the country. As a recipient of these federal funds, HUD requires the City to develop a HOME-ARP Allocation Plan describing how the City proposes to use these funds to address the needs of qualifying populations.

Some of those classified records were mixed with other documents, including newspapers, magazines and miscellaneous print-outs, the affidavit says, citing a letter from the DouglasArchives.London, a former senior CIA officer and author of “The Recruiter,” said this showed Trump’s lack of respect for controls. “One of the rules of classified is you don’t mix classified and unclassified so there’s no mistakes or accidents,” he said.

The affidavit shows how agents were authorized to search a large swath of Mara-Lago, including Trump’s official postpresidential “45 Office,” storage rooms and all other areas in which boxes or documents could be stored. They did not propose searching areas of the property used or rented by Mar-a-Largo members, such as private guestThesuites.document notes that no space at Mara-Lago had been authorized for the storage of classified information at least since the end of Trump’s term in office. TRUMP
CORRECTION/CLARIFICATION
The 32-page affidavit — heavily redacted to protect the safety of witnesses and law enforcement officials and “the integrity of the ongoing investigation” — offers the most detailed description to date of the government records being stored at Mar-a-Lago long after Trump left the White House. It also reveals the gravity of the government’s concerns that the documents were there illegally.
The document makes clear how the haphazard retention of top secret government records, and the failure to return them despite months of efforts by U.S. officials to get them back, has exposed Trump to fresh legal peril just as he lays the groundwork for another potential presidential run in 2024.
The purpose of the RFP is to select the most qualified consultant to provide professional services for the comprehensive review of the maintenance, repair, and replacement (MR&R) needs of selected City-owned and City-maintained parks and the preparation of a strategic capital plan for the subject project.

The following is a summary of Ordinance Number 2711 (CCS) prepared by the O ce of the City Attorney: In May 2022, City Council directed sta to amend existing pedicab regulations to allow nonelectric pedicabs to operate on the Beach Bike-Path. Pedicabs serve as a transportation option for short trips and as a tourist attraction. State law grants municipalities authority to regulate pedicab operations. Santa Monica created regulations in 2013 which prohibited pedicabs on the Beach Bike-Path over concerns about congestion on the path. With the widening of the Beach Bike-Path completed in 2020 and City Council support, the Ordinance amends Section 3.12.600 to allow non-electric pedicabs to operate on the Beach Bike-Path, and to define Beach Bike-Path and Beach Promenade. To address congestion and other safety concerns, sta will amend the pedicab administrative regulations to incorporate specific pick-up and drop-o zones accessible from the Beach Bike-Path. Pedicab Beach Bike-Path operators will be chosen by lottery. The Ordinance also recodifies the prohibition of vehicle driving and parking on sidewalks and parkways, as this code section was inadvertently removed from the City’s online Municipal Code Thewebsite.Ordinance

California lawmakers reach housing
While lawmakers have overcome labor union opposition, they could still face resistance from local governments, who argue it’s not fair to disregard community decisions about land use. A spokesperson for the League of California Cities said Thursday the group was still reviewing the proposals and could not comment.

California’s top legislative leaders, Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, both praised the legislation, with Atkins calling it a “monumental legislative achievement.” “We didn’t go into this to have one side win at the expense of another. As a result, we have a housing victory that checks off a lot of the boxes – affordability, mixeduse, transit accessibility and labor security,” Rendon said.
Facing a housing shortage in the nation’s most populous state, California’s legislative leaders on Thursday backed a pair of bills that would open up much of the state’s commercial land for residential development, bypassing some local zoning laws to replace shuttered shops with affordableCaliforniaapartments.doesn’t have enough places for people to live. It’s among the reasons why rents are high, homes often cost more than $800,000 and on any given night more than 100,000 people are sleeping on the streets.Tomake up the shortfall, state officials say California needs to build about 310,000 new housing units per year over the next eight years — more than two-and-a-half times the number the state normally builds eachOneyear.popular idea is to build housing on commercial land, especially since lots of retailers have closed in recent years as shoppers moved their purchases online while some office buildings sit empty after companies adopted work-from-home schedules during the pandemic. But to do that, developers first need permission from local governments. Local leaders often don’t want to let housing be built on land that’s been set aside for commercial use because they get more money in property taxes from stores than homes. When a store closes, some local governments are content to leave the land idle, sometimes for decades, hoping another retailer will replace it. On Thursday, state lawmakers and labor leaders announced they would back two bills to change that. One bill would let homebuilders bypass the local approval process and build housing on some commercial land if a certain percentage of the homes they build are affordable. A separate bill would let developers build market-rate housing on commercial land, but remain subject to a local approval process.Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, a Democrat who authored the affordable housing bill, said the two bills would create “millions” of units of new housing. “I think these two bills, taken together, represent transformative housing policy in California,” Wicks said. The biggest obstacles for the bills has been figuring out who would build the housing. Labor unions, powerful supporters of the Democrats who dominate the state Legislature, have been pushing for legislation to require a “skilled and trained” workforce, meaning a certain percentage of laborers have taken a state-approved apprenticeship program. But affordable housing developers say there often aren’t enough workers available to meet that standard, which makes projects difficult to complete.Thesolution was to give homebuilders a choice. The bill that requires affordable housing does not require a skilled and trained workforce, while the bill that does not require affordable housing does require it. Ray Pearl, executive director of the California Housing Consortium, called it “the first legislation in years that has brought together affordable housing providers and “Everybodylabor.”wanted their way or the highway,” said state Sen. Anna Caballero, a Democrat and author of the marketrate housing bill. “We were able to craft a solution where there is something for somebody in one of the two bills.”

On August 24 at approximately 4:35 p.m. Officers contacted an individual riding a bicycle on the sidewalk in the path of approaching pedestrians. When questioned, the individual stated he was in possession of drug paraphernalia. During the subsequent search, officers also located various tools believed to be used to commit burglary. Antonio Powell, 41, originally from the Los Angeles area, was booked for possession of burglary tools, riding his bike on the sidewalk and drug paraphernalia.
“We’re interested in the architecture, we’re interested in the progressive philosophy and we hope, in a tiny way, this program will bring attention to the church and its campaign to restore the ceiling,” Motika said. Motika will facilitate Sunday’s event, which will include a presentation on the history of the church from Conservancy board member Nina Fresco and a panel discussion between pastor McKeithen, Roger Gawne, a former leader of the church’s LGBTQIA+ programs, and Julie Ginsberg, a parent involved in the Rockstar Kids program, which has been among the most impacted by the lack of a physical place to meet. Admission money from the event will go to the Conservancy, but McKeithen hopes attendees will become more inclined to donate to the church’s ceiling repair fund.
The Church in Ocean Park was founded in the Methodist tradition in 1875 but has evolved to be the pluralistic and inclusive organization it is today. “The Church in Ocean Park is a hybrid creature,” said Janet Gollery McKeithen. “It is a multi-faith community which means that we are Muslim, Jewish, Wiccan, Christian, Buddhist, Atheist, Hindu, Indigenous Religious Expressions and combinations of all of these. We believe that all people are of sacred worth.”

In addition to Sunday services, the Church in Ocean Park is also home to a diverse array of programs including an annual Queer Prom, female empowerment group, Girl Central and Rockstar Kids, a program for kids with disabilities and their parents to form connections.TheConservancy chose the Church in Ocean Park as the focal point of this next event due to its long-standing presence in the community and focus on social justice. While not explicitly a fundraiser, the event will also raise awareness of the church’s efforts to raise money to repair its damaged ceiling, which has rendered the building unusable for the past 10 months.

“I hope they will understand that the community is lacking an important asset as long as the building is closed,” McKeithen said. “I hope that they will do what they can to help the Church in Ocean Park open the doors to the community again.”
December 22 nd, 1930 - July 23 rd, 2022 our school community takes pride in the multiple physical education opportunities provided to our students and this is just the beginning of what will become a sports and physical education complex on the Samohi campus.” TheExploration building is intended to be a multi-purpose, flexible-use space and will host facilities for project-based learning programs, as well as visual and media arts studios. “The new and improved facilities will give our students state-of-the-art spaces that allow them to fully grow and embrace their health, body and mind,” said Carey Upton, Chief Operations Officer for SMMUSD, in the same press release. “The design continues our transition from prior buildings featuring boxed-in learning spaces that restrict student creativity to flexible collaborative spaces that adapt to changing teaching and learning methods. This form of innovational design will have open air elements to maximize the use of outdoor space and take advantage of our year-round coastal climate.” The new buildings are part of phase three of Samohi’s Campus Plan. This phase is estimated to cost 120 million dollars. The money for the project comes from Measure SMS, which was approved by voters in 2018 and allocated a total of 485 million dollars to improve Santa Monica School facilities. Tours of the recently constructed Discovery building will also be available to attendees at the groundbreaking. The Discovery building opened in 2021 and features 28 classrooms, close to 300 parking spaces, an Olympic-size pool and an outdoor cafeteria. The groundbreaking ceremony will take place Monday Aug. 29 at 3:45 p.m. at the Samohi campus.

comes after another incumbent, Malibu’s Craig Foster, also announced he would not be seeking re-election. Foster, who pulled nomination paperwork but did not submit it, will not appear on the ballot. The departure of both Foster and Coleman from the race have opened up two of four seats up for grabs in November. Incumbents Laurie Lieberman and Richard Tahvildaran-Jesswein will be campaigning to retain their positions on the board, with five additional candidates in the running: parent/business owner Angela DiGaetano, conflict specialist/director of operation Stacy Rouse, Businesswoman/ SMMUSD mom Alicia Mignano, parent/ educational volunteer Esther Hickman and parent/business owner Miles Warner. “It has been an honor to serve on the School Board and to help move the needle for a more equitable and inclusive school environment,” Coleman wrote in his email announcing his withdrawal from the School Board race. “I will serve out the remainder of my term and hope eventually to have the capacity to become involved again in our wonderful school community.” emily@smdp.com LOS FirstANGELESHuman
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) has confirmed the first cases of human West Nile virus (WNV) infection in Los Angeles County for the 2022 season (excluding Long Beach and Pasadena as cases identified in those cities are reported by their local health departments). A total of six cases have been identified, most of whom were hospitalized for their illness in late July and early August. The cases reside in the Antelope Valley, San Fernando Valley, and San Gabriel Valley and all are recovering.
“Mosquitos thrive in hot weather and residents should follow simple steps to reduce their risk of exposure to mosquito-borne diseases, such as West Nile virus,” said Muntu Davis, MD, MPH, Los Angeles County Health Officer. “Simple measures can reduce mosquitos and mosquito bites, like protecting yourself and your family with insect repellent and removing standing water outside your home. West Nile virus can lead to hospitalization or death, and, by taking preventative steps now, residents can better protect themselves against infection and the serious neuro-invasive disease caused by this virus.” West Nile virus (WNV) is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Symptoms may include fever, headache, nausea, body aches, and a mild skin rash. WNV can affect the brain and spinal cord and result in meningitis, encephalitis, paralysis and even death. There is no vaccine for WNV and no treatment to cure the illness once an individual becomes sick. Adults over the age of 50 years and those with chronic health problems are at higher risk of severe illness if infected. While not all mosquitoes carry this virus, the type of mosquito that spreads this virus is found throughout Los Angeles County. Public Health recommends the following actions to reduce the risk of West Nile virus infection: Avoid mosquito-infested areas at dawn and dusk. Use insect repellent. Use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)registered repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE), para-menthane-diol (PMD), or 2-undecanone. When used as directed, EPA-registered insect repellents are proven safe and effective, even for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Find the right insect repellent for you by using EPA’s search tool. Cover up. Consider wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants when you are outdoors, particularly at dawn and dusk in areas where more mosquitoes are present. Take steps to control mosquitoes indoors and outdoors. Use screens on windows and doors. Check for and repair holes in screens to keep mosquitoes outdoors. Stop mosquitoes from laying eggs in or near water. Once a week, empty and scrub, turn over, cover, or throw out items that hold water, such as tires, buckets, planters, toys, pet bowls, flowerpot saucers, rain barrels, or other containers. These are breeding grounds for mosquitos where they lay their eggs. Empty and wash birdbaths and wading pools weekly. Clean and chlorinate swimming pools; drain water from pool covers. Stock garden ponds with mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis), goldfish, Koi or other mosquito-eating fish. These feed on mosquito eggs and larvae. Public Health continues to document human cases of WNV every year in LA County, at an average of 91 cases per year during the last 5 years. However, the total number of people infected with WNV each year in LA County is much higher as most infected persons do not experience any illness or only mild illness. These cases are neither reported nor recognized as WNV. About three-quarters of reported cases have had severe disease and approximately 9% of patients with severe WNV die from complications. Public Health collaborates with local vector control agencies to target areas for mosquito control activities as well as educate people about how to protect themselves. Reduction of mosquito breeding sources and protection from mosquito bites are the best ways to prevent WNV infection. “This is a reminder that West Nile Virus is active in Los Angeles County every year and mosquito control is a shared responsibility,” says Leann Verdick, District Manager of the Antelope Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District. “While our technicians check and treat mosquito breeding in public water sources, residents are urged to eliminate standing water on their property and use EPA-registered repellents when mosquitoes are Foractive.”more information on West Nile virus, visit publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/westnile.

Cases of West Nile Virus Reported in Los Angeles County for 2022
The FBI submitted the affidavit, or sworn statement, to a judge so it could obtain the warrant to search Trump’s property. Affidavits typically contain vital information about an investigation, with agents spelling out the justification for why they want to search a particular property and why they believe they’re likely to find evidence of a potential crimeAffidavitsthere. routinely remain sealed during pending investigations. But in an acknowledgment of the extraordinary public interest in the investigation, U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart on Thursday ordered the department by Friday to make public a redacted version of the affidavit. In a separate document unsealed Friday, Justice Department officials explained that it was necessary to redact some information to “protect the safety and privacy of a significant number of civilian witnesses, in addition to law enforcement personnel, as well as to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation.”Thesecond half of the affidavit is almost entirely redacted, making it impossible to discern the scope of the investigation or where it might be headed. It does not identify by name any people who may be subjects of the investigation and it does not answer core questions, such as why top secret documents were taken to Mar-a-Lago at the end of the president’s term even though the government regards them as presidential records that belong to the National Archives and require special storage. It also does not include details about the interactions between Trump representatives and the Justice Department in the months leading up to the search, including a subpoena in May for records and a visit to the property in June by the department’s top counterintelligence official. The backand-forth culminated in the Aug. 8 search in which agents retrieved the 11 sets of classified records.Still, the document unsealed Friday does offer insight into arguments the Trump legal team is expected to make as the case moves forward. It includes a letter from Trump lawyer M. Evan Corcoran in which he asserts that a president has “absolute authority” to declassify documents and that “presidential actions involving classified documents are not subject to criminal sanction.” Mark Zaid, a longtime national security lawyer who has criticized Trump for his handling of classified information, said the letter was “blatantly wrong” to assert Trump could declassify “anything and everything.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A conflict between your head and your heart can be mediated by the imaginary judge of your conscience. Set the stage for a negotiation in your mind. Introduce the topic, then sit back and observe the discussion that follows.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have ideas and the guts to be a leader as well. Speak up and you’ll gain support. Your exceptional intuition about people will be tested. It is possible that the one who is charming and flattering is also sincere at heart.
SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Things are done a certain way, but the norms go out the window when someone special contributes. You’ll be that special person today and the rules will bend to accommodate your ideas and fresh take.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re so busy trying to serve everyone else that you just may forget all about what you want out of the situation. Take a breather to think about it, and possibly even write a list so you don’t accidentally leave yourself out.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Success is simple. You determine the goal then do the work. You may be worried about doing things right, but there is no right way, only a wrong way: going in circles. Consistently move in one direction and you’ll get there.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 27) HOROSCOPES PUZZLES
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Education doesn’t happen overnight. It may feel like you’ll never learn enough to do a job easily, or that you just can’t satisfy your curiosity. But finding out where the holes in your knowledge are is essential to filling them in.
SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S SUDOKU CROSSWORD Sudoku Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each num ber can appear only once in each row, col umn, and 3x3 block. Use logic and pro cess of elimination to solve the puzzle.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will choose colleagues for their ability, honesty and loyalty. But when it comes to friendship, you’ll go for the ones who make you laugh and feel. You’ll let someone into your heart, though you fully realize it will change you.
Share the way you see the world and what you want it to look like too, and people will help fulfill the vision. The more specific you are about how you want to spend your time, the more fun you’ll have. More highlights: you’ll get your way in a dispute and be rewarded with what you ask for. A long shot will come through, also romantic travel. Sagittarius and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 3, 33, 26 and 9.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When others worry, you can clearly see how unnecessary it is, but of course it’s difficult to have objectivity with your own worries, which seem somehow much more valid. Choose optimism.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s not your style to make many demands, so when you do make requests, people really listen to you. You’re not just thinking about you. You’re thinking about the bigger picture and what might be helpful for all going forward.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Instead of waiting around to be invited, assigned or permitted, you’ll just make the move. It’s risky, and not always the most effective way to go about things, but it will work great for you GEMINItoday.(May 21-June 21). A clash of personalities may have you feeling edgy and out of sorts. As inconvenient and uncomfortable as this may be, there are benefits to the relationship that are not yet apparent. Your soul is evolving through these lessons.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Talented people cannot always bridge the social gap in a way that lets them share their talents. You will use your social gifts to help someone connect and navigate a world that would be very difficult for them, if not for your guidance.
