The National Weather Service, in a social media post, reported “stunning” overnight lows this week, with temperatures in the Santa Monica Mountains remaining in the mid-90s just after sunrise Thursday. Even on the coast in Santa Monica, overnight temperatures barely hit 70 on Wednesday night into Thursday morning, and with more heat expected over the weekend there is warn: Leave Fido at home if you’re hiking during the weekend heat wave

General knowledge says that on hot days in LA, it’s best to get out on the trails in the early morning hours to beat the heat — especially if you’re bringing a four-legged companion. But with extreme temperatures already upon us in the nearby Santa Monica Mountains, local experts have shifted to a simple message: leave Fido at home this time. Actually, maybe don’t go out at all. “#HEATWAVE IS HERE. Very HOT in the Santa Monica Mtns today & through the Labor Day weekend,” Malibu Search and Rescue (SAR) tweeted on Tuesday afternoon. “We strongly recommend that everyone avoid hiking, especially with pets. Hiking in this [weather] threatens your health as well as the lives of 1st responders.” Malibu SAR — a rescue team made up of volunteer reserve sheriff’s deputies based out of the Los Angeles County Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station — performs well over 100 rescues in the Santa Monica Mountains each year and also shares helpful information for hikers, drivers and other people who use the natural resources northwest of Santa Monica.

JAIME PAIGE Special to the Daily Press In an effort to create more affordable housing in wealthier, so-called higher resource neighborhoods, the Los Angeles City Council has called for preparation of an ordinance that would incentivize affordable housing projects in such areas. The council voted 12-0 last Friday to direct the Department of City Planning to prepare an ordinance that would expand
GRACE INEZ ADAMS SMDP Staff Writer Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Board Member Keith Coleman has resigned from the board effective immediately. His resignation, announced to the community through a letter sent to the District, comes after he announced last week that he would be withdrawing from the race to retain his seat on the board. Coleman cited personal reasons for his departure from the board, including caring for his elderly

“This is a victory for every single family and every single frontline community in California that has been fighting Big Oil’s drilling in our backyards for decades and pushing for setbacks for years,” Kobi Naseck, coalition coordinator, for Voices in Solidarity Against Oil in Neighborhoods said in aCaliforniastatement. is the seventh largest oilproducing state and ranks fourteenth for natural gas production. Republican state Sen. Shannon Grove of Bakersfield, one of the state’s oil hubs, said the proposal would affect thousands of wells in her district and do nothing to reduce a need for oil. “It doesn’t change the fact that Californians are still using oil every single day to make their lives more convenient and better,” she said.

NOTICE OF A
KATHLEEN RONAYNE Associated Press
California has already mandated that 100% of retail electricity sales will come from non-carbon energy sources like solar and wind power by 2045. Current law sets an interim goal of 60% by 2030.Lawmakers have now boosted that to 90% by 2030 and 95% by 2035. The action comes as California is struggling to keep its power grid stable as the state transitions away from fossil fuels and record temperatures blanket the state. The more aggressive 2030 targets will put even more pressure on the state to build more solar panels, wind turbines and batteries that can store that power for use at night. At the same time, electricity demand is expected to sore as California tries to get more people to swap out gas-powered cars and home appliances for electric ones. Lawmakers also agreed to a policy aimed at extending the life of Diablo Canyon, the state’s last nuclear power plant, to help stabilize the energy grid. But nuclear power does not count as an eligible non-carbon source to meet the state’s clean electricity goals. Solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, small hydropower and fuel cells count. Newsom, speaking Wednesday, acknowledged the challenges of having

Tougher clean energy goals, a ban on new oil and gas wells near homes and schools, and establishing guidelines for capturing carbon and storing it underground are among the climate proposals California Democrats advanced in the final days of the legislative session.Taken together, along with tens of billions in budget money for climate proposals, the policies marked one of the state’s most groundbreaking years for climate action, some advocates said. “This was a watershed year on climate action,” said Mary Creasman, chief executive officer for changeurgencymeanwhile,fuels.reliesanimportforeignthein-statetheRepublicansdesk.willemissionsgreenhousehaveproposalyears.unsuccessfullyhadofclimatelawmakersAugustGavinEnvironmentalCaliforniaVoters.DemocraticGov.Newsomindeliveredtoaslateofproposals,somewhichlawmakersbeenpushingforAllbutone,athatwouldrequireddeepergascutsby2030,nowheadtohisBroadly,legislativearguedbillswoulddestroyjobsandrequirestatetoturntocountriestooiltomaintaineconomythatstillheavilyonfossilDemocrats,saidtheofclimaterequiresswifter, more aggressive action.Here’s a look and some of the key measures:
NEIGHBORHOOD OIL DRILLING Oil and gas companies would no longer be able to drill wells within 3,200 feet of homes, schools and other community sites. About 2.7 million Californians live within that distance of a well already, according to state Sen. Lena Gonzalez, one of the bill’s authors. Studies show living near a drilling site can elevate the risk of birth defects, respiratory issues and health problems. Neighborhood oil wells are common across parts of Los Angeles County and Kern County.The legislation wouldn’t shut down the more than 28,000 existing wells in that zone, but would require them to meet strict pollution controls. Those wells would also be barred from most permits to deepen or rework the wells. State oil regulators announced a similar policy in 2021, though it has not yet been finalized. Supporters of the policy believed passing the law was the quickest path forward.

Tahvildaran-Jesswein and Leon-Vazquez are both connected to SMC, which stands to reap a small fortune from its present arrangements with SMMUSD. Leon-Vazquez is also married to former SM Councilman and current Chair of the State Board of Equalization, Tony Vazquez. Lieberman, meanwhile, is married to powerful local land use attorney Chris Harding whose hands are so deeply embedded in so much of the city’s and district’s lucrative construction efforts that Lieberman is forced to regularly recuse herself on votes where the conflict of interest is too great to ignore.What is the legacy of this politicallyconnected cabal? Deep learning loss (especially for special education students), a widening learning gap for disadvantaged students, widespread mental health problems, crisis-level disenrollment and a refusal to collect, much less disseminate, any data that might reveal meaningful disparities between communities, grades or schools. Construction projects are conceived without community input and executed in defiance of community concerns. Major expenditures end up buried in the district’s consent calendar, denying the public any opportunity to scrutinize or debate spending priorities. Efforts to seek greater transparency on these matters invariably end up quashed as the district ignores virtually all Public Records Act requests, violating statutory deadlines with impunity. Since 2015, district enrollment has dropped 20%, many SAMOHI juniors and seniors have class sizes exceeding 35 students, district debt has swollen, and the overall number of teachers has plummeted while district bureaucracy has exploded. More of all that is what special interest and political donations are intent on buying.Fortunately, families have a choice this year. Angela DiGaetano, Esther Hickman, Miles Warner and Stacy Rouse are district parents who represent the change and accountability this district has never had — and desperately needs. And what we need are more teachers, smaller class sizes, fiscal accountability that insures money makes its way first and foremost to the classroom, administration that hears and responds to the concerns of parents, and special attention where needed for athletics, GATE and Honors programs, IEP and all of our infinitely unique and beautiful students who simply need to know that they and their families are loved and appreciated — and not just a number on some careerist bureaucrat’s dataset. It’s time to elect actual district parents — not politicians — and turn the ship around. It’s time for new blood. The incumbents have already had enough of ours.

A New Dawn for SMMUSD
EDITOR Send comments to editor@smdp.com
EDITOR: For the first time in generations, voters — especially parents — have a real choice for school board. They can choose to continue decades of opaque, backroom bureaucracy by the same politically-connected operatives directly responsible for the sinking ship that is SMMUSD — or they can elect a new majority of district parents focused squarely on transparency, fiscal accountability, quality classroom instruction and responding to the needs of families rather than monied special interests.Incumbents Laurie Lieberman and Richard Tahvildaran-Jesswein are already frontrunners in fundraising — but not because of parents. Lieberman has served since 2010 and TahvildaranJesswein since 2014, yet their support is conspicuously comprised of donations from fellow politicians who, like Lieberman and Tahvildaran-Jesswein, have no children in the district. They are further dogged by questions over whether they assisted fellow incumbent Keith Coleman — who has now dropped out of the race — in a cover-up of the apparent fact, now documented on video, that he does not live in the district. Though current Board President Maria Leon-Vazquez is not up for re-election for another two years, she remains part of the same do-nothing, ethically compromised, politically-connected majority — elected in 2012 and then automatically re-seated in 2016 for lack of opposition. Like her compatriots and partners in incompetence, Leon-Vazquez has no children in the district. Why are people with no skin in the game so intent on winning the game?

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
“In addition to full-time caring for my ailing father, my family has been the target of false allegations, hurtful threats, including stalking, harassment, and bullying, over the past several months,” he wrote in his resignation letter sent to SMMUSD Superintendent Ben Drati. Coleman has faced public accusations that he does not live within Santa Monica city limits, a requirement for serving on the board. An anonymous person claiming to be an SMMUSD parent posted a video on Youtube of themselves filming Coleman pulling up in a car to an address in Brentwood at night. While Coleman has acknowledged he owns property outside of Santa Monica, he maintains that his primary residence is in the city and the city clerk confirmed he met the necessary criteria to run for the school board.Coleman’s run for a seat in 2020 was unsuccessful, but he was appointed to the board in January 2021 to fill the space left vacant by former Board Member Oscar de la Torre’s election to city council. Coleman was selected by the board out of 22 other applicants to fill the spot through the rest of de la Torre’s term, which expires this year. He filed papers and qualified to run in the November election prior to withdrawing, which means his name will still appear on the ballot even though he will not be campaigning.SMMUSD Community and Public Relations Officer Gail Pinsker said that the school board will be discussing options regarding the vacancy. The board bylaws state that “when a vacancy occurs less than four months before the end of a Board member’s term, the board shall take no action.” In a message to SMMUSD community members sharing news of the resignation, Superintendent Drati wrote, “We respect Mr. Coleman’s personal decisions for resigning, thank him for his service and wish him well in all future endeavors.” grace@smdp.com
Officers responded to the 1500 block of Palisades Park for a Suspicious Circumstances call. The reporting party stated that a backpack and laptop that was stolen from him was located via GPS next to an individual sitting on a bench at Palisades Park. The victim pointed out his backpack to the officers who then approached the individual sitting next to it. The suspect, 32-year-old Anthony Townson stated the backpack belonged to him. Upon searching the backpack, officers located a laptop with a login screen name matching the victim. Officers also located narcotics paraphernalia on Townson. Townson was placed under arrest for receiving stolen property and possession of opiates.

HOUSING FROM PAGE 1
In a motion submitted in February by Bonin — the councilman stated that temporary shelters for the homeless are allowed on City-owned and City leased properties in any zone, including residential and business, therefore wants nonprofit and religious organizations to be able to do the same.The decisions by the city of Los Angeles follow recent efforts in Sacramento to encourage new housing production as 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 eachStateyear. lawmakers and labor leaders recently announced they would back two bills to encourage housing production on commercial land. 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. enough energy to meet demand during heat waves made worse by climate change. But he said that will only accelerate California’s push to build a cleaner energy grid. “Don’t think for a second ... that we’re going to de-escalate our commitment to that transition,” he said.
CARBON NEUTRALITY
Another bill that would have set the state’s 2030 greenhouse gas emission goals at 55% below 1990 levels also failed. The current requirement is a 40% reduction, which some observers say the state is not on path to achieve.

Former California Gov. Jerry Brown signed an executive order in 2018 calling for the state to be carbon neutral by 2045, meaning any carbon that it emits is offset by removing a similar amount from the atmosphere. Legislators on Wednesday voted to turn that goal into a law and require an 85% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions along with it. The second part is designed to ensure that the carbon neutrality is mostly achieved by lowering emissions, not taking carbon out of theSomeair.environmental groups are skeptical that carbon capture is a reliable and safe technology and worry it will be used to let oil companies keep emitting fossil fuels.
ODDS AND ENDS
incentives for projects located on land already zoned for multi-family housing, with a focus on commercial zones, transit areas and corridors. The city would also incentivize projects on publicly owned land, parking zones and land owned by faithbasedCouncilmaninstitutions.Mike Bonin, who said affordable housing is difficult to build in his Westside district, urged LA City Planning officials to “come back with something that is as strong as possible that makes it mandatory to do it.” The council called for options to create an “Affordable Housing Overlay Zone’’ that Councilwoman Nithya Raman – who introduced the motion – said would ensure affordable housing projects in higher resource areas are economically feasible for developers, as it costs more to build housing in wealthier neighborhoods. The zoning would allow more affordable housing to be built near public parks, transit schools, grocery stores and health facilities. The incentives could include “ministerial approval” for such projects, meaning the permitting process would be streamlined and the project was given approval as long as it meets certain objective standards.
Another bill passed by the Legislature requires the state air board to create a permitting process for such projects. It bans the technology from being used to extract more oil.
Low-income Californians who don’t own a car would get a $1,000 tax credit under another proposal headed to Newsom’s desk. It would only be eligible for single people making less than $40,000 or couples making less than $60,000. Transportation is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions in California, and the state is broadly trying to get people out of gas-powered cars over the next dozen Meanwhile,years.a proposal that would have required corporations with revenues of more than $1 billion to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions failed to pass the Assembly.
The council also instructed the department to report back on recommendations for a local incentive program to increase the number of affordable housing units for projects in higher resource neighborhoods. About 76% of Los Angeles’ highest resource areas are zoned for single-family homes, while only 18% of the “highsegregation and poverty areas” are zoned for single-family homes, city planning officials said last year. This motion comes on the heels of another motion that asked the City Council to allow temporary shelters, like A Bridge Homes and Project Roomkey Hotels, to be made permanent and to amend parts of the municipal code to allow shelters to be built in residential areas next to nonprofit organizations and religious institutions.
Malibu SAR will attempt an airlift with a helicopter, which puts additional strain on search and rescue resources and puts rescuers at additional risk. Even in those scenarios, there is still a chance emergency pet hospitals may not accept the patient, due to ongoing burdens on veterinarians duringKatzCOVID-19.saidduring a heatwave earlier this year, a German shepherd that collapsed on a trail was airlifted to the Sheriff’s Station, loaded into Katz’s car and driven to a hospital, only to be turned away at the door. After Katz, in Malibu SAR uniform, advocated for the dog to be seen, he was rushed in, but did not survive the grueling experience. Despite these warnings, if you do find yourself out and about with your pooch in tow, Malibu SAR has shared some basic tips to make sure Fido stays healthy in the heat, starting with the general health of your pet. Strive to keep your pets fit and trim, which helps them stay cool in the summer and avoid heat-related maladies while out and about, or even just hanging out in the backyard on a hotProvideday. “tons of extra water,” since pets “dehydrate very fast and can succumb to heat stroke within minutes,” SAR shared in a post during the latest heat wave earlier this year. Make sure your dog has a shady place to rest every time you take a break, and always be on the lookout for signs of heat stroke: excessive panting, a tongue that’s curling at its end, drooling, a dazed look, weakness, bright red eyes or gums, shaking or refusal to walk further. Other signs: vomiting, diarrhea and collapse.It may seem obvious, but pets can’t talk, and that means owners are responsible for monitoring their condition. If you notice these signs, act quickly. Cool down your dog with wet towels and fan them. If you can carry your dog out, try to get them to an air conditioned vehicle, and if you’re in a remote area, call 911, SAR said. Animal advocacy organization spcaLA shared that if you notice your pet overheating and have access to a tub or pool, “immerse them slowly in cool water to lower their body temperature, then contact a veterinarian. Never immerse a pet in ice cold water, it may cause them shock.” The organization also shared that dog paw pads burn easily — so avoid asphalt on hot days.NWS Los Angeles, spcaLA and Malibu SAR emphasized that animals should never be left in vehicles on hot days. “Animals can die of heatstroke within 15 minutes, and cracking the car windows doesn’t help,” NWS wrote. “If you see a pet in an unattended vehicle, do not leave until the problem has been resolved!” This last piece of guidance isn’t just vague advice — the California penal code prohibits people from confining animals in unattended vehicles under dangerous conditions, and allows passersby to step in if necessary. “A person shall not leave or confine an animal in any unattended motor vehicle under conditions that endanger the health or wellbeing of an animal due to heat, cold, lack of adequate ventilation, or lack of food or water, or other circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause suffering, disability, or death to the animal,” CA Penal Code 597.7 states. It goes on to say that, if doors are locked and it is not possible to access the distressed animal, breaking in can be allowed, so long as you have contacted emergency services and have “a good faith belief that forcible entry into the vehicle is necessary.” emily@smdp.com die of

no longer a guarantee of an overnight cool-off — or, as NWS Los Angeles wrote, “The lack of overnight relief is one reason this #HeatWave [is]MalibuDANGEROUS.”SARTeam Leader David Katz agreed, saying that, for the first time, his agency recommended a “blanket no-hike zone” for this weekend. “There’s no good time right now, because in the morning in the Valley it’s running 80 to 85 degrees — as the air temperature. The ground temperature is usually 15 degrees hotter than the air temperature,” Katz said. “So, would you want to walk barefoot in the pavement or trail in that temperature? The obvious answer is no, but that’s what you’re asking your pet to do.” Katz, who has been with Malibu SAR for more than 30 years, said he has participated in innumerable pet rescues, almost all of which go poorly — “Once the dog is in trouble, it’s a 90 to 95% chance that dog will pass away, regardless of the intervention.” Many rescue agencies do not respond to calls for overheated pets, but Malibu SAR does. Katz said that in his experience, most people wait until their pet has been in distress for some time before calling 911 for an ailing pet and often cannot move their dog into shade and do not have enough water to cool their pet down. By then, the owner and pet are“Ifdistressed.thepeople are hiking, usually they’ve been hiking for hours and that means it’s going to take us a long time to get to them, and once the pet is in this kind of condition, they have to have immediate emergency room attention,” he said. “So the amount of time it takes to get to that pet is very distressing for us, it’s distressing for the owner and, unfortunately, we have a pretty good idea that the outcome is not going to be good.” Small dogs, like terriers, can be scooped up and carried out, but larger breeds often require rescue baskets, which must be wheeled out at a fraction of human walking speed — as slow as a quarter the speed of a normalOccasionally,hiker.

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S SUDOKU TO YESTERDAY’S 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.
Your life is growing in an adventurous direction. You’ll wish widely and wildly, then narrow your options to one very meaningful purpose and work toward it for most of the year. Though you don’t focus on the financial aspect of a job, it flourishes anyway, a natural byproduct of changing people’s lives for the better. Libra and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 1, 11, 38 and 8.
SOLUTIONS
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may feel unsure of your place. It’s not important that you fit in completely, just that you have a sense of getting along in your give-and-take. Focus on how well your contribution serves the needs of others.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s clear that someone is special to you. There’s no one else who can quite fill this person’s shoes. Your time together has a unique quality to it. Your time apart also has a unique quality to it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What costs more isn’t necessarily worth more. You’ll investigate and appraise to make sure you’re making a sound deal. Thoroughness will matter. There’s a temptation to make a snap decision, but this would be a mistake.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Past pain can be like a virus on the hard drive of your consciousness. It may seem harmless enough. But until it is repaired, it will lie dormant, waiting for the right moment to erupt. This is a good time to start working through it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As members of the kickline know, everyone working in the same timing, energy and movement creates a powerful effect. A dancer who’s able to kick higher than the others will, in the name of conformity, save that for another dance.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Playing together can build bonds, though working relationships are even better for this. The structure and rules around work make it a natural environment for getting to know people and building trust.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Love sends you on a mission. Your heart caries a question and your mind finds a way to answer it. Take care of yourself along the way because this journey takes work and you’ll be stretching and growing to get it done.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re not getting enough pleasure, relaxation and attention. It can feel strange to ask for these things or go out of your way to make them happen. On the bright side, simple adjustments may be all you need to restore balance.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Where there are groups of people, there are cultures. Neighborhoods, families, companies, classrooms — all come with customs and rules to learn, use, break or ignore. You’ll navigate a new culture very carefully today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re curious about people, which keeps your tasks interesting. You’ll keep wondering what motivates others. You’ll be surprised at what you learn by asking a few good questions. It doesn’t take many, it just takes the right ones.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When new people are around, you feel new too. When you’re deciding who to add to your world, consider the version of yourself you tend to be around that person. Let that information factor into your decision.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 2) HOROSCOPES PUZZLES
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Action creates energy. But if you think without making a move, those thoughts will use energy without making more. So even if an action is a little hard or tiring, it will ultimately energize you more than if you did nothing.
