California bill protecting immigrants gets Assembly OK JONATHAN J. COOPER Associated Press

California’s “sanctuary state” bill that would limit police cooperation with federal immigration authorities cleared a major hurdle Friday when it was approved by the state Assembly. The Senate was scheduled to give final approval to the legislation before lawmakers wrap up the legislative year late Friday or early Saturday. The measure, which cleared the Assembly in a 49-25 vote with support only from Democrats, would bolster immigrant protections that are already

among the toughest in the nation. Gov. Jerry Brown announced his support this week after the top Senate leader, the bill’s author, agreed to water it down and preserve authority for jail and prison officials to cooperate with immigration officers in many cases. The legislation is the latest effort by Democratic lawmakers in California, home to an estimated 2.3 million immigrants without legal authorization, to create barriers to President Donald Trump’s campaign pledge to step up deporSEE BILL PAGE 5

Council codifies expedited approval for electric vehicle charging MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor

A State rule mandating expedited approval of charging stations for electric vehicles might actually add to the paperwork for the already streamlined approval process in Santa Monica. Council adopted a new ordinance at their Sept. 12 meeting that officially brings Santa Monica into compliance with a State rule that requires jurisdictions with a population of less than 200,000 to adopt rules facilitating electric vehicle

charging stations on or before Sept. 30 of this year. “The proposed ordinance meets the requirements of AB1236 by empowering the City’s Building Official to implement an expedited administrative permit review process for electric vehicle charging stations and adopting a checklist of requirements for permit applicants to comply with in order to be eligible for an expedited permit review,” said the staff report. “The ordinance provides that if the permit application satisfies the information requirements in the

City’s checklist, the application will be deemed complete and must be promptly processed.” While the new ordinance is a state mandate, Santa Monica already has a fast-track for charging stations. “The city has maintained an expedited permitting process for a number of years and waives all permitting fees,” said Salvador Valles. Existing rules allow for approval while applicants wait at the counter. SEE ELECTRIC PAGE 7

PARTY

Lauralee Asch

The Santa Monica Police Department has been promoting the Meet Your Neighbor program since the beginning of the year to create more “unity within the community.” Officials noticed over the past few years that many residents do not know their neighbors which has caused issues within the neighborhoods and a disconnect when reporting incidents. By getting to know their neighbors, residents create a safer and more united neighborhood. Another benefit is increased and more accurate communication with the police. SMPD had a (random) drawing from the groups which participated in the Meet Your Neighbor program and the winners received a block party on the 1400 block of 24th Street.

Not new technology Editor:

Alternative fuel cars are not new, there being electric cars since the early days of autos. Though they got better, the big problem is charging time. Fine for local use, but try driving up to Oregon for the recent eclipse. I could stop for gas, get something to eat, buy some postcards, and use the ‘facilities’ and be on my way in ten or fifteen minutes. It won’t happen with an electric car. As for hydrogen, I once saw a hydrogen powered AMC Gremlin, not a fuel cell, but the motor converted to run on hydrogen instead of gasoline. This was back in 1973 or so, one of my teachers knew the guy who did it, had him come by the school. I don’t know where he got his hydrogen though. Maybe he knew someone with a Zeppelin.

Appeals court taking foie gras off the menu in California BY BRIAN MELLEY Associated Press

A federal appeals court reinstated California’s ban on foie gras Friday, finding that a state law preventing sales of the luxury liver pate made by force-feeding ducks and geese was not pre-empted by federal authority to regulate poultry products. The ban was passed more than a decade ago after proponents said the process of fattening the livers of the birds was cruel and inhumane. The law took effect in 2011, but was blocked by a court in 2015, delighting chefs who wanted to serve the delicacy and leading to protests by animal rights groups. While the unanimous decision by three judges won’t immediately take effect, giving farmers and a restaurant time to seek further review, animal activists celebrated. “The champagne corks are popping,” said David Perle of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. “PETA has protested against this practice for years, showing videos of geese being force-fed that no one but the most callous chefs could stomach and revealing that foie gras is torture on toast.” State lawmakers voted in 2004 to bar California farmers from force-feeding birds with a tube, which is how foie gras (fwahGRAH’), is produced. That part of the law, phased in over seven years, was not challenged. But foie gras farmers in Canada and New York and Hot’s Kitchen in Hermosa Beach targeted a second part of the law that banned foie gras produced out of state from being served in restaurants or sold in markets. They argued successfully in the lower court that state law was superseded by the federal Poultry Products Inspection Act. That law prevents states from imposing labeling, packaging or ingredient requirements different from federal standards. The main question was whether the state was banning an ingredient or a process. “It is not the livers that are force-fed, it is the birds,” Judge Jacqueline Nguyen of the

appeals court wrote. “The difference between foie gras produced with force-fed birds and foie gras produced with nonforce-fed birds is not one of ingredient. Rather, the difference is in the treatment of the birds while alive.” A lawyer for the farmers and Hot’s Kitchen said the fight was far from over. “The ruling is disappointing, the reasoning is flawed,” attorney Michael Tenenbaum said. “Federal law is supreme when it comes to poultry products, whether it’s foie gras or frozen chicken breasts.” When he won in U.S. District Court two years ago, Tenenbaum sent a press release saying that chef Sean Chaney was shouting “let the foie gras start flowing” from the rooftop of Hot’s. Chaney said he plans to continue serving the rich treat until ordered to stop by a court and said the ruling was merely “a little speed bump.” While the popularity has waned since they were allowed to first serve it after the lower court ruling, there are still popular selections on a special menu customers must request, Chaney said. Among the offerings are “Lego my foie,” a waffle with a dollop of pate and maple syrup and a burger topped with the spread. He plans to put foie gras back on his main menu this fall despite the ruling. Tenenbaum said he would seek a review from a full panel of the 9th Circuit and press on to the Supreme Court if necessary. If the appeals court rejects a review, the ruling will take effect after the case is returned to the lower court, where Tenenbaum can raise other issues. David Levine, an expert in federal court procedure at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, said it’s a longshot that the ban won’t go into effect. “It’s probably the end of the road, but not tomorrow,” Levine said. John Antczak in Los Angeles and Sudhin Thanawala in San Francisco contributed to this report.

GARDEN: Wild bees flock to the Santa Monica’s Main Street Community Garden. IT IS THE “LITTLE THINGS THAT RUN THE

world,” E.O. Wilson, the eminent biologist and naturalist, teaches us. Although his profound understanding stems from his expertise on invertebrates, particularly ants, his revelation wonderfully applies to what keeps things going on Earth and in a community in ways that can easily escape one’s notice or attention. Keeping things going for the health and wellbeing of our natural and human communities is the essence of “sustainability.” Where else can such vivid examples of the prominence of little things be found but in a community garden where microorganisms teem to nourish soil, where seeds burst forth as squash flowers or sunflower? There, bees are seduced “to powder their thighs with pollen,” to quote Michael Pollan in The Botany of Desire. Sunflowers, in August, also attracted photographer Paula Sharp, walking by Santa Monica’s Main Street Community Gardens. Her trained eye focused on the wild bees that she saw flitting upon the myriad miniscule flower heads comprising the grand flower head of bright sunflowers dancing above the fence. She was enchanted and followed the vision into the Main Street habitat. There, Sharp met a few of us community gardeners and proceeded in 20 minutes to identify a dozen wild California bees, including those on the sunflower and zucchini, that have evolved to pollinate our local food. It turns out that Sharp was in town because the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden was opening an exhibition of her wild bee photography. (The exhibit continues until November 26, 2017.) Although wild bees found in New York and the northeast form the basis of Sharp’s documentation, we have much to learn from her about California’s native wild bees, some of the little creatures that foster sustainability. Who knew that the zucchini had its own specialized wild bee? Of course, honeybees are fond for the squash, and the bubble bee is the best as buzzing signals intense vibrations of

dispersing pollen. Native wild bees have evolved to pollinate, too, proving Nature’s perseverance to satisfy the needs of plants, fruit, food — and us. As fellow creatures of the biosphere, human and wild life matter. Since the first City of Santa Monica Sustainability Plan in 1994 — one of the first in the nation and an innovation reaching beyond environmental concerns — more and more attention is being paid to the role of each of us, as community gardener and resident to City staff, student, educator, worker, visitor or entrepreneur, in being truly sustainable. Updated in 2014, the current City Sustainability Plan calls for the increase of community gardens and participation in them. That is a commitment of all gardeners and those eager to be one. Ishihara Communal Learning Garden opened in late February of this year and has welcomed scores of neighbors, classes, children and groups to plant and harvest together. Already at least one thousand pounds of food has been shared. At Main Street, Euclid Park and Park Avenue Community Gardens species of botanical and biological diversity thrive. Composting massive amounts of green waste and organic matter creates topsoil. There is so much produced in being a community of gardeners, including the relationships and knowledge to be good stewards tending the land. Come to the Main Street Gardens on October 1, as part of the City’s COAST event. Everyone is welcomed. There will be milkweed and Monarchs to see; stories, lessons, seeds and plants to share, as well as garden art and fresh salads to enjoy. It’s clear. In each moment and in each of us, little by little by human care or wild bee activity, sustainability grows. Want to learn more about the Santa Monica Community Gardens?

be charged as felonies. But they’ll be barred from transferring immigrants to federal authorities if their rap sheet includes only minor offenses. Immigration advocates generally applauded the latest version, even with de Leon’s concessions. For them, the bill delivers a rare victory during Trump’s presidency, preserving some protections for people in the country illegally and adding others. California police chiefs dropped their opposition but sheriffs, who run jails where the biggest impacts will be felt, remain opposed. “In my view this bill’s going to make us less safe,” said Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham, R-Templeton. “It’s going to protect the criminal at the expense of the law abiding citizen.” The changes did not mollify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Acting Director Thomas Homan, who said the bill will deliberately destruct immigration laws and shelter criminals. “If California politicians pass this bill, they will be prioritizing politics over the safety and security of their constituents,” Homan said in a statement this week. California’s Democratic political leaders have positioned the nation’s largest state as a foil to Trump and his administration. They’ve passed legislation and filed lawsuits aimed at protecting immigrants, combating climate change and blocking any future attempt to build a registry of Muslims. A federal judge in Chicago ruled Friday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions cannot follow through with his threat to withhold public safety grant money to so-called sanctuary cities for refusing his order to impose tough immigration policies.

tation efforts. They’ve also approved money for legal assistance and college scholarships for people living illegally in the U.S., and made it harder for businesses and government agencies to disclose people’s immigration status. California lawmakers are debating the measure as the U.S. Congress considers offering legal status to young immigrants whose parents brought them into the country illegally or overstayed their visas. “Our immigrant communities, whether documented or undocumented, feel under attack and they are scared,” said Assemblywoman Eloise Gomez Reyes, DSan Bernardino. “Especially with the tone that’s been set at the national level.” Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, introduced SB54 shortly after Trump’s election to cut off most interactions between federal immigration agents and local police and sheriff ’s officers. Following sharp dissent from law enforcement officials and Brown’s intervention, it was scaled back significantly. The final version prohibits law enforcement officials from asking about a person’s immigration status or participating in immigration enforcement efforts. It also prohibits law enforcement officials from being deputized as immigration agents or arresting people on civil immigration warrants. Police and sheriff ’s officials, including jail officers, will still be able to work with federal immigration authorities if a person has been convicted of one of some 800 crimes, mostly felonies and misdemeanors that can

“Current City practice for processing electric vehicle charging station permits typically entails having the permit applicant come to the City’s Permit Counter with an application and supporting documentation; the application requires details of the proposed charging station, along with a site plan detailing where the charging station would be located,” said the staff report. “In most cases, the application is reviewed and processed then and there by a plan checker who is stationed at the counter. To the extent that the

City’s current permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations is already prompt and streamlined, staff does not expect significant changes to the existing process.” Valles said the only noticeable change will be a requirement for applicants to include the State’s checklist with their application, an addition to the current requirement. The new checklist is a minor part of the process and isn’t expected to cause any problems for applicants. According to staff, the city has issued five permits for 23 stations this year. All were processed in a single day. In approving the ordinance, Councilman Kevin McKeown said the Council will be returning to the topic in the near future.

“This is not the full extent of our concern with EV and we will be visiting the issue soon but this is a step we can take tonight …”he said. Council is awaiting a draft of the city’s Electric Vehicle Action Plan. The plan has been developed to facilitate Electric Vehicle ownership and promote local charging with the goal of quadrupling EV ownership within 10 years. The plan includes: Background on EVs and EV charging in California and Santa Monica A review of existing policies, plans and programs to support charging infrastructure on a state and regional level Recommended policy priorities to

address current problems with EV Charging and EV utilization An implementation plan for all policy priorities that will require collaboration between various City departments and divisions, Southern California Edison, the City’s selected EVSE service provider, and community stakeholders Appendices with resources including maps on current and proposed EV charging infrastructure and detailed material on multi-family unit dwelling (MUD) installation case studies and best practices The full EV plan will be before council in the coming months. editor@smdp.com

A Look Back at Westside Food Bank Part Three: Innovation & Efficiency BY MICHAEL GIRSBACK Development Associate, Westside Food Bank

Westside Food Bank has consistently been on the cutting edge of food assistance innovation, and in creating protocols and best practices for food banks and other nonprofits. One example is the recent trend towards focusing on more nutritious foods rather than just the volume or weight of food distributed. WSFB has always had a high nutrient value in our distribution and we recently formalized our commitment by creating an official nutrition policy that guides

our food acquisition, purchasing, donation acceptance and distribution policies. WSFB has been active on a number of local task forces, effecting change on issues such as lowering the barriers for accessing food stamps, (SNAP/CalFresh benefits), so that low income people might better avail themselves of federal programs that bring dollars to our local economy while helping the most vulnerable among us. WSFB’s advocacy has helped to enable low income families to apply for benefits at our member food pantry sites, eliminate the fingerprint requirement for accessing benefits, abolish the rule that beneficiaries can’t own any kind of vehicle, and enhance the WIC program to include more whole grain and healthy

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 16)

options for pregnant mothers and families with children under five years old. WSFB’s Director of Operations, Yvonne Leung, was instrumental in helping the California Association of Food Banks revamp its “Farm to Family” produce project, allowing food banks in neighboring counties to share truckloads of fresh produce donated from the surplus of farms throughout the state and distributed to food banks up and down the state line resulting in a great increase in produce distributed by food banks in California. Westside Food Bank places a powerful emphasis on efficiency. We make extensive use of volunteers which is what makes it possible for our staff of eight to distribute

close to 4.5 million pounds of food each year. We strive to make sure that our program costs account for more than 80% of our spending, and we measure this on a cash-only basis, without assigning a dollar value to donated food and other items. Food banks exist because we can make the food distribution system more efficient by having the capacity to accept large scale donations and to purchase food by the truckload. We take this responsibility seriously and continually work to become even more efficient. Find out more and register for our October 15th Hunger Walk at www.wsfb.org

Strange Brew

By PETER GALLAGHER

By JOHN DEERING

You have fans by the dozens, but you have to believe in yourself even more than they do to get your goal by the year’s end. Have faith and keep moving! Your emotional bank account fills up over the course of this solar return as someone dear to you keeps making friendly, loving and generous deposits. Capricorn and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 30, 41, 20 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

Theories need to be tested and proven before they can be properly understood and taught. Action -- that’s what’s needed. Stop thinking about it and try it out.

The theme will center on what true security is, where it comes from and what you’ll do to have it. If there’s an area of your life that could use a more grown-up approach, today brings a chance for serious “adulting.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’re an amazing team player when you’re working with people who want to create something extremely interesting, specific, exciting and beautiful. You’re not a good fit for people who just want to pass the time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) People wait in long lines at amusement parks for the most thrilling and dangerous rides and the chance to feel very afraid and yet safe at the same time. You’ll do something similar in today’s scenario.

Agnes

By TONY COCHRAN

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) We all have stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves. You’ll consider whether one of yours needs an upgrade. You’ve earned your current more positive and mature perspective, so put it to work for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You’ll have to involve others if you want to achieve your goal today, and you wouldn’t have it any other way. You’ll be especially compatible with earth signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.

When you’re absolutely certain about what your standards and preferences are, you won’t even have to make a big deal out of asserting them. People can just tell what you’re about today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

“Ask little and give lots” is your motto. When you’re the more generous one, you can always be proud of your contribution. Make an exception today. All will benefit from a more equitable arrangement.

Those who doubt the validity of your information will thereby cause you to get more serious in your wording, more particular about your facts and more adamant in your stance.

Each person’s chemistry is unique and therefore it creates unique reactions when mixed with yours. Today you’ll be surprised at just how different you can be around certain people.

Dogs of C-Kennel

By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) While you’re usually up for the risk, there are certain aspects of your life that you shouldn’t leave to chance today. Declare what’s precious to you, and then treat it as such by protecting it.

Refrain from making a decision that will affect others. Put it off until you can get more input. You can’t assume that what’s good for you is good for another person, even if that person is very much like, or even related to, you.

Zack Hill Mercury and Mars Align to Nurture It’s said that to love is a stronger feeling than to be loved. Ask any excited new parent (whose heart just doubled in size over someone who won’t be able to return the sentiment for years, if ever) how true the statement really is. Mercury and Mars now align powerfully in nurturing Virgo. Love and care will grow things.
