Alejandro Cantarero, former SMDP designer, dies at 42
Los Angeles County has officially entered into the “low community transmission level” for COVID-19 even as schools are back in session and extreme heat has driven more people inside. The 7-day average case count declined 18% last week and the county’s new designation is a result of falling below the threshold set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of fewer than 200 cases per 100,000. “Getting into the low community level reflects minimal stress on the hospital care system in LA County associated with COVID-19,” LA County Department of Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said.The decline comes as students went back to school. Health officials said while many sectors are experiencing declines in clusters of cases and outbreaks, there have been increases in the number of clusters of cases and outbreaks at schools. There have been a total of 624 clusters reported at schools since August 7 that involved more than 3,500 individuals, of which 3,355 were students. The number of reported clusters more than tripled each week throughout August, with 38 clusters reported for the week ending August 13, 135 clusters reported for the week ending August 20, and 451 clusters for the week ending August 27. Since schools reopened, 27 outbreaks have been documented in elementary schools. Eight outbreaks are associated with Youth Sports
GRACE INEZ ADAMS SMDP Staff Writer Alejandro Cantarero, known as Alex by those close to him, passed away last month. He is remembered fondly by friends and coworkers as a creative, funny and kindCantareroindividual. worked at the Santa Monica Daily Press from 2002 to 2007, starting as a production assistant and working his way up to production manager. Ross Furukawa, the founder and publisher of SMDP, said that Cantarero was a fast learner who brought a lot of creativity to the paper.“Alex was a talented designer, learning and becoming an expert at the Adobe suite of products without a formal education in graphic design,” said Furukawa. “He was extremely popular amongst his friends and had a very artistic take on the SMDP. His loss is a big loss to the SMDP family.” During his time with SMDP, Cantarero helped redesign the print version of the paper and also led SMDP to becoming the first newspaper in the US to publish PDFs of print editions online. He worked closely with other members of the SMDP team, including Carolyn Sackariason, a former staff writer. “He loved SMDP, believed in what we were doing and was very loyal and trustworthy,” Sackariason said. Sackariason said she also loved having conversations with him on topics beyond work. She described him as an “intelligent, deep thinker and philosopher” who was also incredibly kind and creative. She said he once helped her create CDs with photos as a Christmas gift for her mom. When she left the paper she said she knew it was in good hands with Cantarero.
Voucher holders say they have been denied the right to formally organize in the past with appointed individuals serving as “representatives” in name only. At the Sept. 1 meeting, several individuals said that situation has resulted in discrimination and undue hardship for those trying to get aid via a voucher. Michael Louis said past housing authorities were outright hostile to the notion of an advisory body.
LA County drops to “low” Covid tier GRACE INEZ ADAMS SMDP Staff Writer
New advisory board forming to oversee federal housing aid
MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor
The Housing Commission held a meeting this month laying out the framework for a new Client Advisory Board that would give individuals receiving federal housing aid a larger voice in housing priorities throughout the city. The establishment of the new group would meet a federal requirement for a citizen input group and advocates said it would begin to address longstanding problems with the local administration of federal housing dollars. Individuals who receive federal assistance have a right to organize and two representatives of that organization are designated as part of the Santa Monica Housing Authority, the federally mandated organization that oversees disbursement of housing vouchers.
Mike Tittinger also worked with Cantarero at SMDP and said they became friends right away. “Working with him was like hanging out with a buddy,” he said. “We would just be joking around, writing funny headlines that we couldn’t send, making funny pictures that we couldn’t use – he was just a lot of fun to work with

Barrett Art Gallery to Showcase Acclaimed Native American
The Pete and Susan Barrett Art Gallery at Santa Monica College (SMC) is excited to present “Project 562: Changing the Way We See Native America”, by widely acclaimed photographer, writer, podcaster, and public speaker Matika Wilbur from the Tulalip and Swinomish Tribes. The exhibition will be on view through May 15, 2023. Wilbur is also SMC’s artist-in-residence over the 2022-2023 academic year, and an opening reception plus keynote speech by Wilbur are slated for October 11, with details forthcoming. Wilbur’s consciousness-shifting exhibition counter acts the relentlessly insipid, demeaning, clichéd repre sentation of Indigenous peoples in mainstream media with an unprecedented repository of imagery and oral histories that accurately portrays the diversity and rich ness of contemporary Native America. The show is made possible with generous support from Mark and Freya Ivener, as well as from SMC Associated Students; SMC’s Division of Equity, Pathways and Inclusion; SMC Associates; SMC Global Council; SMC Public Policy Institute; and SMC Foundation. Matika Wilbur founded Project 562 ten years ago as a teacher at the Tribal school in her community. After experiencing the visceral and violent effects that one-di mensional racist Native imagery had on her students, she sold everything in her Seattle apartment and packed her life into her RV, the “Big Girl.” Wilbur then set out to make pictures of folks from more than 562 federally recog nized Tribes. Over the last decade, that goal has expand ed as she’s trekked across Turtle Island and beyond, documenting and amplifying contemporary Indigeneity.

As Santa Monica College’s artist-in-residence for 2022-2023, Wilbur collaborated with Barrett Gallery Director Emily Silver and SMC students to build her exhibition from the ground up. Students were involved in building walls, printing and framing imagery, conducting deep dive research, and art handling. Together, Wilbur and the students curated images centered around authentic, poignant narratives, and crafted this groundbreaking show. Matika Wilbur will deliver a keynote speech Oct. 11, 2022 at 3 p.m. in the Student Services Orientation Hall on SMC’s main campus. All are invited to meet the artist and celebrate her work with SMC’s students at a reception in the Barrett Art Gallery following the keynote, from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. And on Nov. 18-19, SMC students will work with Wilbur and the All My Relations Podcast team to produce live episodes, recorded in front of an audience. Following the All My Relations podcast event, Wilbur and the students will host an Indigenous Film Festival featuring some of the most exciting Native filmmakers of today and tomorrow. “Equity, diversity, and inclusion are an intrinsic part of Santa Monica College’s culture, and drives everything we do,” said Barrett Art Gallery director Emily Silver. “Matika Wilbur’s work ties in seamlessly with that focus, and we are beyond thrilled to be showcasing her thought-provoking, urgent work, espe cially as it will speak powerfully to SMC’s diverse students about the transformative power of art and representation.”Dispatchesfrom Project 562 can be found @project_562, and on matikawilbur.com, project562.com, and allmyrelationspodcast.com.

There has been only one outbreak associated with a high school.Asof last week LA county was reporting a case rate of 192.78 per 100,000 residents, according to CDC data. “Our hope is that we can continue to slow transmission so we reach a weekly case rate of less than onehundred,” Ferrer said. To reach this goal she said people should continue to take precautions including staying home when sick, limiting time spent indoors with large groups of people and testing between the third to fifth day after being exposed to someone with the virus. Ferrer also emphasized the importance of vaccines to continue combating the spread of COVID, specifically the recently approved, reformulated booster shot designed to target the Omicron variant of the disease, which continues to be the dominant strain in LA County. Ferrer said that doses of the booster are expected to arrive in the county next“We’veweek.already pre-ordered about 170,000 doses and we expect to receive these doses between the sixth and the ninth of September,” she said. “More than 300 different healthcare providers across LA county are preparing to administer the boosters starting in midSeptember and many providers are expected to offer the boosters at multiple locations.” Both Pfizer and Moderna are manufacturing versions of the new booster. The Pfizer booster is approved for use in people 12 years or older and the Moderna one is approved for those 18 andFerrerolder. estimated that close to 7 million people in LA county will be eligible for the new vaccine and urged people to get it as soon as possible.“Yougain a lot of protection by getting boosted, particularly if there’s some time that’s passed since your last vaccine dose,” she said. “Omicron is what’s circulating right now, both BA.4 and BA.5, and that’s exactly what these boosters are made to protect us against.” To maximize the booster’s efficacy Ferrer said it must be administered at least two months after a person last received a different booster or their initial COVID-19 vaccine.

You know, I don’t want to make it seem like, this group is saying that they can’t do things on their own.”The Commission advanced a proposal to council that recommended seven to 15 members form the group with a designated mission statement. A group of Housing Commissioners will attend the first meeting to help answer questions along with a group of legal experts but the details of the organization will be up to the members. Council will hear the recommendation at their Sept. 13 meeting. For more information on the Commission, visit https://www. santamonica.gov/housing. editor@smdp.com

“I want to make sure we all truly understand and appreciate how hard it was to get here to this meeting,” he said. “Being mindful and ever aware of past resistance and intransigence to a fully functioning [board] will help us with predicting and resolving the inevitable challenges and roadblocks ahead. It wasn’t easy in the past. It won’t be easy in the future. We must always keep this in mind as we organize, strategize and take action towards our goal.” He said advocates had spent more than three years working toward the goal. “This incarnation of the Housing Commission has courageously stepped up to help empower and give a real voice to a vulnerable population that has been historically mistreated, dismissed and devalued not only by certain Santa Monica city government entities, but also government entities in L.A. County and most jurisdictions in this county.” Housing Commissioners were unanimous in their support for the board if not for all of the details. Specifically, Commissioners debated how much structure and organization of the new group should be established before potential members were recruited.“I’mjust not used to having things that are just open ended,” said Commissioner Dominic Gomez. “I think it is a major deterrent in terms of the effective launch of any organization. I’m a strong advocate of organization because organization brings about effectiveness and change. Disorganization does the opposite. Consequently, I do not believe that providing some parameters or suggestions, in any way shape or form, is oversight or stifling in nature. Consequently, I do believe that providing some semblance of structure is far superior ... as opposed to something that’s freewheeling.”Commissioner Theresa Marasco said the new group would be capable of deciding how to govern itself if provided a minimum of logistical support.

Notice is given that by operation of law at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time, on July 1, 2020, the Tax Collector declared the real properties listed below tax defaulted. The declaration of default was due to non-payment of the total amount due for the taxes, assessments, and other charges levied in tax year 2019-20 that were a lien on the listed real property. Nonresidential commercial property and property upon which there is a recorded nuisance abatement lien shall be subject to the tax collector’s power to sell after three years of defaulted taxes. Therefore, if the 2019-20 taxes remain defaulted after June 30, 2023, the property will become subject to the tax collector’s power to sell and eligible for sale at the County’s online auction in 2024. All other property that has defaulted taxes after June 30, 2025, will become subject to the tax collector’s power to sell and eligible for sale at the County’s online auction in 2026.
NOTICE OF DIVIDED

Notice of Divided Publication
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t typically broadcast your talents. You fear sounding immodest or being misunderstood and vulnerable to criticism. But others need to know about you, otherwise you won’t be included in a way that fits your strengths.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be more creative after you’ve tidied up. The clean surfaces of your surroundings will brighten your thinking and send a message to your subconscious (and anyone else who happens to come over) that all is well.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 6) HOROSCOPES PUZZLES
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re reasonably comfortable, but the nagging voice inside you is calling out for more -- more delight, more closeness, more adventure. The slightest move outside the familiar will tip you onto this bright, new track.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Every melodrama needs a villain. The superhero needs a nemesis, the fairytale an evil queen. Someone has to be the bad guy. In today’s conflict, it’s definitely the other person. Unless you’re the other person -- then it’s you.
9TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2022
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What you admire in others is either 1) in you, too, or 2) absolutely missing in you, therefore you need the ones who have it. Whatever the case, it is most auspicious to make your appreciation known. Alliances get formed.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll take the initiative and reach out. You’re willing to risk rejection for the possibility of making a new friend. As with many risks, there is an advantage to being first. You’ll be sweetly rewarded for this today.
In the past, you strove for a symbol of success. Now you’ll come to embody the vision so fully that symbols become meaningless. Your power surges as you help people get healthier and happier. More highlights: You’ll win a tidy sum, and an unusual interest connects you with passion and adventure. Sagittarius and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 31, 10, 4 and 18.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll get something done in an established group -- a grand social machine with rules, systems and methods for getting results. Your sensitivity and diplomacy will be grease for these turning wheels.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Financial success is a direct result of forethought, planning and followthrough. It doesn’t have to be complicated. For instance, assess what you have before shopping. A simple win occurs as a direct result of this practice.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Whatever you do, it’s only human. Social awkwardness has no expression from this expansive place in the mind and heart. You’re learning; everyone else is learning, too. You’re teaching; everyone else is teaching, too.
SOLUTIONS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). For some, suffering is the method of bonding they know and do best. For others, complaining is among the easiest ways to find common ground. When people vent, can you see it as their way of seeking connection with you?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You work purposefully to make progress, to get to completion or maybe just to feel the motion of it. Some you meet seem content to amble and enjoy. While you appreciate their perspective, you can’t imagine sharing it.
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.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Anyone can notice fresh beauty, though few see the breathtaking splendor of the commonplace as you do today -- the sky, the dog’s fur, the shapes and shadows that will never again be quite the same as they are today.
