Santa Monica College begins classes today MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor
Students at Santa Monica College (SMC) return to class on Aug. 28 and officials are aware of the pending traffic crunch. To help neighbors with the issue, the SMC Police Chief and the Vice President of Student Services will be available to meet with residents during the first week of school during the peak traffic hour of 7 – 8 a.m., on Pearl Street and 20th Street to discuss their concerns. While officials will be happy to listen, they have taken some preemptive measures to address problems. “One of the things we do, is we put people at peak times at Pearl and 20th and 17th and Pearl,” said SMC Police Chief Johnnie Adams. “We have people directing traffic but we also have a campaign of
sustainability. We’re telling students to use Metro and the school pays for Big Blue Bus for our students to take alternative options. There are a lot of educational campaigns in that regards with our sustainability office.” According to SMC about 50 percent of the school’s 32,000 students take advantage of the bus system. They have more than 1,000 students using the train and a couple of hundred riding the Breeze Bikeshare program. All told, SMC said almost 70 percent of students arrive without driving themselves. “We have a free website that staff and students can use to help them find the best commute to campus,” said SMC spokeswoman Grace Smith. “We have two car rideshare companies that have vehicles SEE SMC PAGE 6

According to the calendar, Summer doesn’t end until Sept. 22 but all the signs of autumn are showing in Santa Monica. Schools is back in session, the Twilight Concert series is over and the occasional jacket is appearing after dark. However, just because the days are getting shorter doesn’t mean the opportunities for outdoor entertainment are dwindling as well and the Santa Monica Pier has a busy schedule of fall fun in keeping with its tradition as a community resource. “Events have been a key part of what draws people to the Pier since the 1980’s,” said the Pier’s Deputy Director Jim Harris. “After the Pier suffered extensive damage during

the storms of 1983, many people assumed that the Pier was closed altogether. The City of Santa Monica funded a series of events called “Save the Pier Week” in order to draw people to the Pier and let them know that it was, indeed, still up and running. From those early events dawned the realization that the Pier is a wonderful event space, and in 1985 the now-iconic Twilight Dance Series (renamed Twilight Concert Series in 2012) was born.” TCS ended its eight-week run earlier this month and the future of the concert series will be debated at upcoming meetings of the Pier Corporation and City Council but the concerts are just one part of the free outdoor programming.

ROAM Santa Monica The City of Santa Monica, in partnership with Downtown Santa Monica, Inc., is launching a series of temporary artworks intended to energize the downtown area and enliven Triangle Square and Third Street Promenade with a variety of art experiences and photogenic moments. The grand debut leads with a colorful, immersive installation by artist HOTTEA (a.k.a Eric Reiger) who uses yarn and other mediums to create beautiful shapes and designs. A series of suspended, fluttering artworks will bring Triangle Square and the Third Street Promenade to life. A different art experience will be featured at each block of the Promenade culminating at Wilshire Blvd. Residents and visitors can choose to experience the artworks by entering the Third Street Promenade at Wilshire Blvd. or begin the exploration at Triangle Square on Colorado Ave. “As people wander through Triangle Square and the Third Street Promenade, they will be greeted with rotating artworks that surprise and delight,” said Shannon Daut, the City of Santa Monica’s Cultural Affairs Manager. “This ambitious public art series creates the opportunity for residents and visitors to experience Downtown Santa Monica in new ways.” These installations will be on view from August 28 through November 1. There will be a brief departure for the holiday season, and then ROAM will continue to unfold for the next 9-12 months with several large-scale temporary installations at Triangle Square, simultaneously coupled with smaller and more surprising artworks and lush, mesmerizing projections along the Third Street Promenade, between Wilshire Blvd. and Colorado Ave. “Downtown Santa Monica, Inc.’s mission is to create environments that foster positive social interactions and enliven public spaces with experiences that reflect the community’s rich history as a bastion of creativity,” said Kathleen Rawson, CEO of DTSM, Inc. “We approached the City of Santa Monica with the idea of a rotating public art series that would not only accomplish that mission, but also encourage people to explore, or roam, our authentic and vibrant Downtown. This is one of the most exciting projects we have embarked on and we are thrilled with the caliber of artists who will be sharing their work with our community.” Artists featured in this series, include Faile, Andrew Shoultz, Jen Stark, Ben Zamora, Brenda Monroe, Danielle Garza, Jeanine Centuori & Russell Rock, Kate Johnson, Kristen Ramirez, Nata‰a Stearns, Nate Frizzell and Sean Yoro.

Heal the Bay readies a real pick me up for L.A. Local environmental organization Heal the Bay issues a call today for Southland residents to join the largest, single-day volunteer event on the planet – the 33rd annual Coastal Cleanup Day, to be held from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Sept. 16. As part of a global effort, tens of thousands of concerned citizens in Los Angeles County will link on this one morning to remove harmful and unsightly trash and debris from more than 50 coastal and inland sites. Four of the inland locations are sites where habitat restoration work is underway, with volunteers removing invasive plant species and harmful manmade debris. Active restoration sites participating in Coastal Cleanup Day include the LAX Dunes site and the Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve, both in Playa del Rey; Alta Vicente Reserve in Rancho Palos Verdes; and the Agoura Hills/Medea Creek restoration site in Agoura Hills. Coastal Cleanup Day mobilizes thousands of volunteers across L.A. County who come out in force to pick up trash throughout the region -- an area that spans close to 100 square miles. Last year’s Coastal Cleanup day saw more than a half million people in 112 countries -- and in 43 U.S. states -- remove 18.3 million pounds of debris from beaches, streams, and other waterways and parks. Anyone who participates in the local cleanup will be rewarded with a free visit to Heal the Bay’s Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, 1600 Ocean Front Walk, between 12:30 and 5 p.m. on Coastal Cleanup Day. Since 1990, Heal the Bay has coordinated the county’s Coastal Cleanup Day, organizing an army of volunteers on the third Saturday of September. Recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the “largest garbage collection” ever organized, the annual volunteer effort provides Southern California residents with the chance to beautify their neighborhood, local waters, or beach. It’s also an ideal way to make new friends and enjoy the outdoors. Cigarette butts, plastic beverage bottles, and food wrappers remain the three most common items found by Coastal Cleanup Day volunteers, followed closely by plastic straws. Heal the Bay is calling for all to rethink their drink and go “strawless,” as several local beach municipalities are mulling ordinances that would make straws available only on request. Heal the Bay seeks volunteers of all ages and physical abilities to participate Sept. 16; no experience necessary. Site captains will organize a diverse mix of individuals, families, neighborhoods, community groups, schools, faith-based groups, sports teams, and businesses. To register, please visit healthebay.org/ccd No special training or equipment is necessary. But in a bid to reduce waste even further, Heal the Bay encourages volunteers to “BYO”-- bring their own buckets, reusable bags, and gloves to pick up trash. In addition to picking up debris, volunteers learn first-hand the importance of keeping trash out of waterways and improve their own community environments, thus protecting what they love – be it their local beach, park, avenue, or creek. Runoff from more than 200,000 storm drains flowing out to Santa Monica and San Pedro bays causes the vast majority of local ocean pollution. By removing tons of debris from beaches and inland neighborhoods, cleanup participants reduce blight, protect marine animals, and boost the regional economy. More than 50 sites have been confirmed this year, including more than 15 inland locations. SCUBA dive sites will include Malibu Pier, Redondo Beach, Dockweiler State Beach and the Santa Monica Pier. - SUBMITTED BY JACQUIE MCLEAN JONES

Save the date and bring your friends and neighbors out for two miles of car free streets enlivened with music, dance, local food and a great time. On October 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the City of Santa Monica will host the second year of COAST, an open streets event that gets people walking, biking, skating, and scooting through two miles of activated streets. The route covers Ocean Avenue from Wilshire Boulevard to Tongva Park and Main Street from Colorado to Pier Avenues. COAST is free and all you need is your own two feet. Along the route, participants will experience live music and performances, local food, art installations, exciting restaurants, one-of-a-kind shops, promotions on the Pier, and unique areas promoting mobility, art, and sustainability. Come meet Santa Monica City Councilmembers who will be there to meet COAST-goers. We encourage participants to bike, walk, take Big Blue Bus or Expo to COAST. Free bike valets will be available along the route. Last year marked Santa Monica’s first open streets event as part of the opening of the Expo Light Rail connecting Downtown L.A. to Downtown Santa Monica. COAST drew more than 50,000 people to experience Expo and safely explore Santa Monica. The City is excited for year two of this event that connects us to the many ways of getting around in Santa Monica, and to each other.

parked near the main campus and those have heavy usage by staff and students.” She said the school has a dedicated loading zone to try to discourage drop-off or pickup on Pearl. SMC Sustainability Manager Ferris Kawar said despite their success in encouraging alternative transit, there’s still more efficiencies to be found and the education process is never-ending due to the constant presence of new students who haven’t adapted to the restrictions on campus. “I think we have to get better, even though we are doing pretty darn well, you still have frustration by students who have to drive in circles in the parking lot,” he said. “The parking is really there for people who truly live in a really inconvenient area, like The Valley, that just can’t get here any other way and it’s just not for people who live locally can that reach us by bus or bike.” He said several big transportation changes have occurred at SMC in recent years including the dedicated loading zone, Expo opening, bike share and ride sharing partnerships.

Harris said the location can enhance the experience. “The atmosphere provided by the Pier is completely unique in that it comes fully equipped with spectacular views, built-in fun & folly and is easily identifiable,” he said. “The different event locations each offer something completely unique as well, from the nostalgic east half of the parking lot next to the National Landmark Merry Go-Round to the lively west half of the lot next to Pacific Park to the serene west end hovering above the Pacific Ocean.” September’s programming has free movies, political debates, opera and athletics. Paid events include a fundraiser seafood festival. Front Porch Cinema returns from Sept. 29 – Oct. 20. The free outdoor movie series is set on the pier and styled like grandma’s front porch, rocking chairs and all. The 2017 lineup is still in the works but will be available online at santamonicapier.org/frontporchcinema. Early risers can take advantage of the free ROGA program every Saturday from Sept. 16 – Oct. 21. There’s a free group run at 8 a.m. (two or five-mile course available, meet at Ocean/Colorado under the Pier sign, walkers welcome) and yoga at 9 a.m. on the west end of the pier (please bring your own yoga mat).

moting the many options now on campus. “We’ve been ratcheting up the message to students, faculty and staff to get out of their cars and try something new,” he said. One option is an SMC shuttle for students that encourages drivers to park at their Bundy campus and take the school’s bus to either the main campus, the new Stewart Street building or the performing arts center at the Broad Stage. The new Center for Media and Design campus on Stewart Street will also be accessible by BBB lines 43, 16. Outreach efforts include electronic message boards providing traffic/parking information, outreach on social media and direct communication to students. However, officials are also prepared for enforcement actions and the SMCPD has asked for additional help. The Santa Monica College Police Department (SMCPD) has increased staff around all of the SMC campuses including the satellite locations on Stewart Street and Bundy. “We have a free website that staff and students can use to help them find the best commute to campus,” said SMC spokeswoman Grace Smith. “Plus, two car rideshare companies have vehicles parked near the main campus and those have heavy usage by staff and students.” editor@smdp.com

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Citywide
Donations will support SMMEF arts programs The Santa Monica-Malibu Education Foundation is starting off the school year with an exciting match from two of its Corporate Partners. Santa Monica Place, owned by Macerich and Kaiser Permanente are each generously offering $25,000, for a total of $50,000, as a match to the community to raise funds for programs at Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) campuses. The match will run until September 6, 2017. “We can’t think of a better community investment to make than giving back to our local schools,” said Julia B. Ladd, Assistant Vice President, Property Management at Santa Monica Place. “Strong schools are the backbone of a strong community and a vibrant economy. We are so proud to be part of this effort to fund crucial programs for Santa Monica and Malibu students.” Donations to the Ed Foundation fund staff and programs at every SMMUSD school in the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, including elementary arts programs, 87 instructional assistants in classrooms, and stretch grants for each school. Many schools use these grants for additional arts, STEM and student health and wellness programs. “We hope that this match encourages other community members to join us in supporting our local public schools,” said Yesenia Monsour, Director of Public Affairs & Brand Communications at Kaiser Permanente. “The programs funded by the Ed Foundation are crucial to the development of a child’s wellbeing and enable all students to truly thrive.”

National Poll Ranks SMMUSD among California’s Best Districts The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District is pleased to announce its ranking of 29 in the 2018 Best School Districts in California by national academic ranking service, Niche. Nearly 500 school districts are included. The ranking is based on rigorous analysis of key statistics and millions of reviews from students and parents using data from the U.S. Department of Education. Niche ranking factors include state test scores, college readiness, graduation rates, SAT and ACT scores, teacher quality, public school district ratings and more. “We are honored to be recognized for the extraordinary achievements of our students and teachers,” Superintendent Dr. Ben Drati said. “We are dedicated to providing the education and support all students need for success while in our classrooms and as they embark on college and career, in order to lead meaningful, engaged lives beyond our halls.” Additionally, Niche awarded Santa Monica High School an A+ and Malibu High School an A for their educational outcomes, a category that includes academic data such as SAT and ACT scores with special consideration given to schools whose students matriculate to high-ranked colleges and universities. The schools also received an A in academics, which includes proficiency in math and reading, and graduation and college enrollment rates. The ranking formula also includes facilities, safety, clubs, sports and other factors. Both SMMUSD comprehensive high schools boast proficiency rates that are well above county and state averages. The schools also graduate 95 percent of their students – rates that exceed county and state rates. The two high schools offer comprehensive college and career counseling, maintain acclaimed visual and performing arts programs, boast high student participation in clubs and extracurricular activities, and support diverse academic curriculum such as Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM); Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID); Career Technical Education (CTE) and Advanced Placement (AP). John Adams Middle School, Lincoln Middle School and SMASH middle school, all received an A grade, while all SMMUSD elementary schools earned an A or A-. Niche also ranked the best places to teach in California and SMMUSD ranked 23 of 450, and ranked best teachers in the state, with SMMUSD placing 41 of 472. “I am so proud of our entire Santa Monica-Malibu community – the students, parents, faculty and staff for this honorable recognition,” Dr. Drati said.

Westside Food Bank Provides Basic Supplies As Well As Food BY GENEVIEVE RIUTORT Chief Development Officer , Westside Food Bank
Westside Food Bank’s main focus is on providing as much nutritious food as possible to our member agencies for distribution to low income clients in our service area. That is our mission and we adhere to it judiciously, even following a self-imposed Nutrition Policy to ensure the high nutrient quotient of our food distribution. We also recognize that people who need help to keep food on the table also struggle to obtain items some might consider optional, but are truly equally essential to a fulfilling life. Anyone caring for babies and infants,
understands that diapers, wipes, blankets, baby safety gear, etc. are absolute necessities. Yet these items are costly, and they typically are subject to about a 10% sales tax in our area. Feminine hygiene products are equally necessary and school supplies for children are also greatly needed. So Westside Food Bank works to provide for these needs. We ask for help from the community and accept in-kind donations of new, unused diapers in all sizes, especially larger sizes, swim diapers, baby wipes, blankets, socks, toiletries: razors, feminine products, deodorant, soap, shampoo and conditioner, school supplies, and more. (Opened packages of diapers are welcome,
we recognize that babies grow quickly and parents are often stuck with open bags of diapers that no longer fit – we can use those!) We also recognize that families in crisis also struggle to care for their pets, so WSFB accepts donations of pet food and supplies so that those among our agencies’ clients who have pets can have access to resources to better care for them. To make an in-kind donation of non-food or food items, visit our warehouse Monday through Friday from 7am to 5pm. 1710 22nd Street, Santa Monica, CA 90404. 310-828-6016 x12 or Allison@wsfb.org for more information on making an in-kind donation. www.wsfb.org

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 28)
By PETER GALLAGHER
Strange Brew
By JOHN DEERING
This solar return brings an exciting new social trajectory. You’ll learn fast and much. The business you get into in November will be helped along by friends. There’s a family addition in 2018 that opens up new horizons for the whole group. Take lots of pictures and records to keep track of this fast-moving year. Taurus and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 40, 11, 34 and 18.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
On a gut level, you know the investments of energy, time or money that are right for you. Honor you limits and also your instincts toward outrageous generosity.
You’re not proud of every single thing you’ve done, but that’s part of being human. Mistakes can’t be helped. Anyway, doing nothing wrong is a mistake, too -- the mistake of being boring and scared to grow.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Stop struggling. No one will gain from extraneous effort. There’s someone close with the power to help or maybe even make the whole dilemma go away. Reach out.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) The pressure is off -- except for, of course, the pressure you’re putting on yourself, which is more or less a constant. Is this really necessary? Ease up a little and then, if you feel OK about that, maybe a little more.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your instincts are honed. Believe it. You’ll automatically make the right risk to save what’s important. With that knowledge, you can go about your day worry-free.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Success is linked to your creativity. Before you make any actual efforts, put your imagination to the task. Daydream your way into solutions. Think of 10 different ways you might solve the problem.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Someone who is truly on your wavelength -well, it’s a pretty rare find. Don’t let that stop you from reaching out, though. Finish your thoughts before communicating them. Join the dots. Make it easy for people to understand you.
Agnes
By TONY COCHRAN
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) It hasn’t been easy to figure out what you really want, because the answer keeps changing. That’s fine. All the more reason not to make a move yet. Wait until you’re more certain.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Thinking energizes you. It doesn’t have to be your own thinking, either; you’ll be energized by what you read, hear and see, as long as there’s a robust thought process behind it.
Dogs of C-Kennel
By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Not all plans are conscious. When your subconscious plans come together today, the result will be a mixture of surprise and satisfaction.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Are you in love with a person or with the story you have created about the person? Certainly, your projections affect the situation. Love and objectivity don’t mix. The deeper the love the lesser the objectivity.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’re not going to win alone, and neither will the other person. Join forces in a game that’s big enough for two. Become partners in seeking a solution with prizes for all.
Zack Hill Lunar Shift Peels Back the Mask Trying to make something work is more frustrating when you’re under the impression that others are doing this with no problem. Well, they aren’t -- not all of them. Most put on a good face. You might be surprised what’s underneath. The lunar change from Scorpio will peel back a few masks. However you feel, you’re not alone in it.

The 3 1/2hour operation occurred after Spike broke off one-third of his left tusk and a crack appeared in the other.
