Minimum wage rules delayed
Making waves in the face of genetic disease Charity surfing event provides escape for young cystic fibrosis patients
BY MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor
Santa Monica will raise the minimum wage to $15 … eventually. After hours of discussion and deliberation at their Sept. 29 meeting, the council voted to endorse the concept of a minimum wage but delayed voting on a formal ordinance pending additional analysis of several issues including service charges vs. tips, mandatory sick leave, enforcement options, exemptions for seasonal/transitional employees, incorporation of a hotel living wage rule and definitions of covered employers. Council directed staff to conduct public outreach and additional research on each of those topics and return with a revised draft ordinance as soon as possible, with an expectation that council could
rehear the issue in December. “Staff was amazingly able to come up with a first reading of the ordinance, which we determined tonight after hearing from the public and our discussion, needed some work,” said Mayor Kevin McKeown. “So we’re now asking them, not to start fresh at all, but to go back with the direction we’ve given tonight and modify the draft ordinance tonight and address all these concerns. I think that’s a quite doable task.” While “doable,” the work won’t be quick. McKeown asked to have a new proposal back to council before Thanksgiving but staff said they would need more time given the large amount of public outreach required to resolve some of the pending questions. “We want it done in a timely SEE WAGE PAGE 9

HEALING: For some cystic fibrosis patients, activities like surfing can be therapeutic
Site-level state test scores to be analyzed for ‘bright spots’ BY JEFFREY I. GOODMAN Daily Press Staff Writer
BY JEFFREY I. GOODMAN Daily Press Staff Writer
Andrew Hendrickson needs daily treatments just to stay alive. He takes several dozen pills, including medicine for his liver and enzymes before he eats because his pancreas doesn’t function properly. He spends two 40-minute sessions in a vest that vibrates to loosen the mucus that has accumulated in his chest. He had part of his left lung taken out two years ago. It makes sense, then, that the 8-year-old’s favorite remedy for coping with cystic fibrosis is a trip to the beach to catch a few waves. Hendrickson was one of several CF patients taking part in a special charity event Saturday at Surfrider Beach in Malibu, where Allen Sarlo SEE SURF PAGE 8
Today marks the local Board of Education’s first meeting in Malibu since the start of the school year, so it comes as little surprise to see the agenda packed with items related to chemical testing and cleanup at Malibu schools. The school board will consider making another tweak to the Santa Monica-Malibu school district’s agreement with the state Department of Toxic Substances Control, which was originally approved in early 2014 following the discovery of polychlorinated biphenyls at Malibu High School. What started as an a $41,664 agreement is now projected to cost the district more than $168,000, a fraction of the millions SMMUSD has spent on consultants and legal fees over the course of the ongoing

controversy. The latest modification to the agreement is to account for $9,901 worth of additional work, according to the district. Meanwhile, the board is expected to close out its $59,980 contract with AirTek Indoor Air Solutions for duct cleaning at Malibu High and Juan Cabrillo Elementary school. Also up for board discussion are changes to policies and best practices regarding environmental safety, hazardous substances and pest management. The changes proposed by staff would align the district’s policies with those of the California School Boards Association and specifically address PCBs. A CLOSER LOOK

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Citywide
Orchestra Santa Monica announces its fourth season Orchestra Santa Monica has announced its fourth season of concerts, once again presenting four exciting programs under the baton of Music Director Allen Robert Gross in the acoustically and visually intimate Ann and Jerry Moss Theater. Highlights of the coming season include an all-Mozart concert, a Flamenco afternoon featuring concertos performed by guitarist Adam del Monte, music by American composers Samuel Barber and Russell Peck, and symphonies by Beethoven and Mendelssohn. Music Director Gross is thrilled to present the new program to the orchestra’s growing audience. “We have a wonderful season of music planned for this year - lots of contrasts and compelling new music,” he said. “The orchestra is playing beautifully, and our move into the Moss Theater last year has been an important step forward for us and for our audiences.” Soloists for the season include soprano Elissa Johnston singing Barber’s nostalgic “Knoxville: Summer of 1915”, clarinetist Gary Bovyer performing Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto on the basset horn (the instrument for which Mozart wrote the piece), and pianist Steven Vanhauwaert performing Saint-Saëns’ brilliant Second Piano Concerto. Guitarist Del Monte will perform the ever-popular “Concierto de Aranjuez” by
Rodrigo and his own “Paisajes,” a concerto for flamenco guitar. All four soloists have earned distinguished reputations in the Los Angeles area. OSM has changed the time of its Sunday afternoon concerts this year from 3:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Ticket prices remain the same as last year ($30 General Admission, $25 for seniors, $15 for college students, and $10 for K-12 students), and can be purchased on-line or at the door. For ticketing and pricing information, visit OSM’s website at www.orchestrasantamonica.org.

of the past month has probably filtered through to you via other media. The opening of the new Broad Museum in downtown Los Angeles was an international event, with days of civic, press and public events to celebrate its launch. Santa Monica’s loss is the greater community’s gain: the wonderful old telephone building on Barnard Way that used to house Eli and Edythe Broad’s 2000-piece collection of post-war contemporary art has been sold. Now all the artworks reside in the new “veil and vault” structure designed by the architectural firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro built in collaboration with Gensler. The unusual-looking building, located on Grand Avenue a block from the Music Center, joins Frank Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall and Arata Isozaki’s MOCA building across the street, and features an oculus embedded in a waffle-cone edifice, which surrounds a three story building. The top and bottom floors are dedicated to art galleries, the second floor is administrative. In this inaugural exhibition, 250 works are on view, curated by Founding Director Joanne Heyler. The Broad will continue its lending library mission, sharing its collection with museums around the world. Starting on the third floor you’ll find a chronological art journey from the 1950s to the 1990s, with galleries focusing on pop art by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, the balloon-toy and high-kitsch work of art fabricator Jeff Koons, the chalkboard-style scribble paintings of Cy Twombly and an entire room filled with Kara Walker’s pointedly political black-and-white cutouts that cover the African American experience in America. Graffiti-style work by Jean-Michel Basquiat, photographic manipulations by Cindy Sherman and the pixilated canvases of Chuck Close are treated here. For a sense of perspective, stand “Under the Table,” a giantsized dining room set by Robert Therrien that will make you feel like Alice in Wonderland. LA’s own Mike Kelley (sadly no longer with us) is represented by a stunning eye-
catcher in black, white and dizzying patterns. Works by other L.A. artists are on view including John Baldessari, Mark Bradford and Ed Ruscha. On the first floor, the dark, curvy cavernous entry hall leads to your choice of an escalator experience to the third floor that’s been described as going through a birth canal, or the tubular glass-enclosed elevator that’s artfully futuristic. But stay downstairs for the artworks from the year 2000 on, and if you plan to visit the Broad be sure, to book yourself into Yayoi Kusama’s “Infinity Mirrored Room” from 2013, a mirror-lined chamber housing a dazzling LED light display that is reflected endlessly and allows for only one person at a time for 45 seconds. There’ll be a long line and you’ll need a reservation. It’s worth waiting for. Another highlight is Ragnar Kjartansson’s nine-screen 360-degree video projection of a music performance set in a derelict historic mansion, with each screen and its speaker focused on one musician, each in a separate room throughout the house, playing and singing their parts of the hour-long song. There’s even a guitarist in a bathtub! Some of the work on the first floor reflects artists’ political perspectives, such as Robert Longo’s charcoal drawing “Untitled (Ferguson Police August 13, 2014)” and Julie Mehretu’s “Cairo, 2013,” her swirling representation of the architecture, atmosphere and turbulent social unrest in the Egyptian capital during the Arab Spring. The Broad is located at 221 South Grand Avenue in Los Angeles. It’s open Tuesday through Sunday, admission is free and you can reserve your visit time at www.thebroad.org/tickets.

Five Comics That Need To Be TV Shows TURN ON YOUR TELEVISION AND YOU’LL
GOTHAM CENTRAL
see plenty of shows based on or inspired by comic books. But what you see on your tube is only the tip of a larger iceberg of compelling material. With so much from the comic industry being mined by Hollywood these days, it’s possible that the titles on my list are already in development. But until I’m binge watching them with several pounds of popcorn, here are my top five comic book titles that need to be weekly indulgences.
Gotham Central is the show I had hoped Gotham would be when I first heard it was in development. Unlike Gotham which focuses on the early beginnings of the main Batman universe characters that we all know, Gotham Central is about the Gotham City police detectives who struggle each day to do their jobs in a city that is overrun by crazed super villains that are more the backdrop rather than actual characters. The series is pure police melodrama similar to the classic show Homicide: Life on the Streets and would transfer so well to the small screen with an intriguing superhero twist.
100 BULLETS
Not to be confused with the recent film, this comic series is about a failed superhero turned politician. After Mitchell Hundred gains the bizarre power to talk to and control all electronic devices. His brief attempt at a superhero career ends with the realization that his abilities would be better served elsewhere. He then decides to help his beloved New York City by becoming its mayor. Ex Machina is a smart political drama that would be the new West Wing for the intellectual superhero audience.
Famed explorers Lewis and Clark set out to conquer the American frontier, but this is a different expedition than the one we read about in history class. This new world is infested with fantastic and dangerous monsters, from plants that turn humans into jungle rot zombies to giant charging minotaurs. Stuffy textbook history is replaced by high adventure without being dumbed down. Imagine the likes of Jurassic Park on your TV screen every week. ‘Nuff said!

A mysterious man known only as Agent Graves approaches ordinary citizens and hands them a briefcase containing a gun and 100 bullets, all completely untraceable. Graves then gives them the green light to seek revenge on the person or persons who have wronged them without repercussion. 100 bullets is a gritty moral study on who holds the power in our society, what it takes to get it and how easily it can be taken away. The comic series is an anthology series of short and long story arcs focusing on rotating characters and their dealings with Agent Graves, making it ideal for television. Each week could be a different story with a different cast of characters, much the way The Love Boat was in the 1980s … if the Pacific Princess was riddled with bullet holes and dead bodies.

Y THE LAST MAN
A sudden epidemic strikes the planet, killing all males of every species except for one lone man. With half of the world’s population gone, the women left behind work to rebuild society in their own vision while trying to figure out why one male survived and what should be done about him. With a similar post-apocalyptic theme, Y The Last Man would easily capture the Walking Dead audience while still being unique enough to stand on its own and make it as big of a hit television series in the right hands.

Bergamot Station-based City Garage. Frederique Michel, whose native language is French, has translated the text with a still-formal twist to her contemporaneous language, and her long time producing partner Charles A. Duncombe has produced and staged a visually stunning show. They’ve titled it “Tartuffe: A Reality Show,” and if you want to compare it to Life with the Kardashians you wouldn’t be too far off the mark. What City Garage does on its small stage always involves platforms and multiple levels, here with a palette of bold colors, furnished in 1960s Playboy mansion style including a leopard-skin bar, a bear rug and abstract expressionist art on the walls. Reality show-style, we’re introduced to the characters by way of video interviews before the action on stage begins. And when it does, we’re confronted with the question of who really can really claim to provide anything like a moral center.
Members of this rich family are struggling to oppose the influence of the hypocritical con man who has seduced the father into believing he is a devoutly spiritual guru. Even as he moves into their home taking advantage of their material possessions, he’s attempting to seduce the Sofia Vergara-like sexy daughter-in-law. But is there anything socially redeeming about this overtly decadent and spoiled family? The runaway star is the only character with a grip on reality, the maid of machinations, Dorina, played here by J. Carlos Flores in perfect drag. If you’re going to do farce, do it over the top and all in; this production meets that standard. “Tartuffe: A Reality Show” at City Garage runs through November 1. Visit www.citygarage.org for tickets and information. SARAH A. SPITZ spent her career as a producer at public radio station KCRW-Santa Monica and produced freelance arts reports for NPR. She has also written features and reviews for various publications.

An appellate court ruled Wednesday that California’s newest anti-paparazzi law aimed at curtailing reckless driving by photographers is constitutional and does not violate the First Amendment right to freedom of the press. A three-justice panel of the 2nd District Court of Appeal in Los Angeles also unanimously decided the law is not vague and does not place an undue burden on the rights of newsgatherers, as opponents of the statute have argued. The ruling came in a case involving photographer Paul Raef, who was charged under the 2010 law after being accused of engaging in a high-speed pursuit of Justin Bieber along a Los Angeles freeway in 2012. “Raef has not identified existing laws that would as effectively regulate the variety of traffic violations, short of actual crashes, that can be committed in paparazzi-like pursuits,” the justices wrote. A lower court judge determined in 2012 that the law was unconstitutional, but the charge against Raef was reinstated by a Los Angeles County Superior Court appellate panel in 2014. Raef ’s lawyers took the case to the state appellate court, which heard arguments on June 12. Bieber’s name was not mentioned. The criminal case against Raef has been on hold during the appeals. The ruling on Wednesday noted that by creating a misdemeanor charge for reckless driving in pursuit of images, lawmakers were giving those charged under the statute the right to a jury trial. Jean-Paul Jassy, a lawyer for several media outlets, argued that the law created penalties for news gathering and “unconstitutional limits on the press.”

last regular meeting, the school board will study scores from individual school sites. SMMUSD students who took the recently implemented California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress exams performed better than their peers in the state overall, but glaring achievement gaps persist in the district along racial and socioeconomic lines. The study session of site-level data is expected to include figures for specific subgroups, including English language learners, socioeconomically disadvantaged students and special education students. Officials have said that educator and sociologist Pedro Noguera, who was recently hired by the district to address achievement gaps, wants SMMUSD officials to analyze “bright spots” among minority groups. District leaders plan to meet with administrators, counselors and teachers in the coming months to develop strategies to help underperforming students. TRACKING THE MONEY
The school board will consider approving a consent calendar with more than $381,000 in new purchase orders and another $96,000-plus in facility upgrades.
He also urged the justices to look beyond the paparazzi element and not make judgments based on the celebrity news aspect of the case. “One person’s paparazzi is another person’s mainstream photographer,” Jassy argued. Raef ’s attorneys, Mark Kressel and Dmitry Gorin, said they were reviewing the ruling and considering their next steps. Jassy called the ruling disappointing. “The law’s only contribution to the vehicle code is to enhance penalties for photography,” he said. “Photography is not a crime.” Katharine MacKenzie, an attorney for the city of Los Angeles, which filed the charge against Raef, countered that the law was written to target anyone who was driving recklessly while taking photos, video or audio for commercial purposes. She described a broader group of people who could be charged under the law who aren’t celebrity photographers, including artists who snap photos or video while driving recklessly, or documentary filmmakers in pursuit of comment from a reluctant subject. MacKenzie argued the law doesn’t hamper First Amendment press freedoms. The law only punishes those who “use a crime to get the image,” she said. The law was inspired in part by the experience of Jennifer Aniston, who told a lawmaker about being unable to drive away after being surrounded by paparazzi on Pacific Coast Highway. The offense is punishable by six months in jail and a $2,500 fine but went unused until the pursuit of Bieber, which resulted in the singer receiving a speeding citation. Raef was also charged with traditional reckless driving charges after the chase that topped 80 mph and prompted several 911 calls. The tab of new orders includes $80,000 for restorative justice training this school year led by the California Conference for Equality and Justice. The Long Beach-based human relations organization will aim to address issues of bias, bigotry and racism in education as the district attempts to close longstanding achievement gaps. The bill also includes close to $11,000 to Korade and Associate Builders for roller shades at John Adams Middle School. The item is up for board approval following concerns from students, teachers and parents about classroom temperatures amid ongoing warm weather. Other expenses include $47,000 in computer equipment from La Verne, Calif.-based Intelli-Tech; $15,000 to Ampro Inc. for pizza at Malibu sites; $12,000 to Los Angelesbased technology education company Planet Bravo for computer instruction at Point Dume Marine Science Elementary School in Malibu; and $10,000 to Stanley Pest Control. The facilities bill includes $36,800 to Ramboll Environ for chemical sampling at Olympic High School; nearly $30,000 to Benicia, Calif.-based Oliver Worldclass Labs for used technology equipment; and close to $15,500 to technology services company Meridian IT Inc. for licensing fees. jeff@smdp.com

Crossroads School Butterfly Garden
Opening Doors for Hope & Opportunity
Editor:
The perspective from the builders on the Crossroads School science building is very fascinating and interesting to know the thought behind the architecture. However, there have been no butterflies in the butterfly garden, even months after the completion of the science building. But, with the absence of butterflies, students are becoming aware of the severity of the decline of monarch butterflies. As a Crossroads student, I have been looking forward to seeing the butterflies in the butterfly garden, but have still not been able to experience witnessing the beautiful insect. There is still hope that the milkweed will attract the butterflies!

READY TO RUN: Crossroads teams are preparing for a strong cross country season.
Citywide
Crossroads prepares for winning season Crossroads Cross Country team has proven year after year to be a formidable opponent both within the Gold Coast League, the Southern Section and state competition. The boys’ team has taken the league championships for three out of the last four years and hopes to continue this winning trend in 2015. This year the team will gain back some key players who were sidelined due to injury and welcome a talented young group to the roster. The girls team has bragging rights as well with two league championships under the belt over the last three years and a strong contention of young runners coming up the ranks. This past weekend, the team competed in the Brentwood Invite where 14 teams competed across all divisions. The boys team won the event by 5 points. Junior, Ethan Finkel and Sophomore Daniel Allen finished third and fourth overall, finishing their 5K’s in 16:43 and 16:58 respectively. Alex Groenendaal-Jones was 13th (17:38) while teammate Ben Fried finished 16th (17:50) out of 209 racers. This strong finish early in the season bodes well for their CIF hopes as Coach David Olds trains his runners to be strongest for their final meets of the season and historically has proven successful in doing just that. The girls team came in a solid sixth place despite running without two of their top four teammates. Andrea De Oliveira finished 12th (21:55) overall while Roya Touran came in 18th (22:26). The Roadrunners look solid in the early season and most definitely promise to be strong competitors in the Gold Coast League and in post-season CIF and State competition. — SUBMITTED BY TARA SHIMA ATHLETICS COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR

and other professional surfers representing the Mauli Ola Foundation took youths out on the water for an afternoon of fun. “It went fantastic,” said Eric Hendrickson, Andrew’s father, a retired Los Angeles County lifeguard who spent time on rescue boats in and around Santa Monica. “It was a nice, sunny day, and the water was like in the 70s. It was great. ... We try to take him to as many of the surf events as we can.” And the surf events aren’t just diversions, according to some medical research. Andrew’s father cited a report in the New England Journal of Medicine that detailed the benefits of hypertonic saline solution for CF patients, an idea that the Laguna Beach-based nonprofit foundation has incorporated into its surfing events for people with genetic diseases. “He does better because of the salt air,” Hendrickson said of his son. “He takes a saline solution twice a day, and that’s like what he gets when he goes to the beach. It’s almost like a natural treatment.” About 30,000 people in the U.S. have CF, a life-threatening condition that impacts the lungs and other vital organs. A defective gene causes music buildup that can lead to infections, nutrient absorption failure and respiratory problems. There is no cure, although medical advancements enable patients today to live longer than they might have lived several decades ago.
Andrew, who was diagnosed with CF when he was about a year and a half old, has taken the disease in stride. “He knows it’s a lifetime thing,” his father said. Andrew attended a Mauli Ola event last year in Dana Point and has taken surfing lessons from Shane Miller, whose genetics laboratory company sponsors the foundation. He’s also hung out with professional surfer Sunny Garcia. When Andrew decides to cut his hair, which flows down to his waist, he’ll likely donate the locks to a cancer patient. Also participating in Saturday’s event was Tristen Partello, an 18-year-old from West Hills who surfs regularly in and around Santa Monica. Diagnosed with CF when he was 6 months old, Partello has medical check-ups about four times a year. He had his gallbladder removed when he was 8 years old. Partello, who grew up skateboarding, picked up surfing with encouragement from a neighbor and thought it would be fun to surf with the pros. He tries not to make his condition a centerpiece of conversation. “A lot of people don’t know,” he said. “Half the people I hang out with don’t even know. If someone wants to know, I tell them it’s not contagious. “In the mornings I’m congested, so I do treatment, but otherwise I’m pretty stable. ... You’ve just got to live life.” jeff@smdp.com

WAGE FROM PAGE 1
fashion but we want it done in a comprehensive fashion,” said Councilwoman Pam O’Connor. Notably absent from the “to be studied” list is an exemption to the minimum wage for union businesses, known as supersession. McKeown reached into his past as a radio DJ to make a joke about the 1968 record titled “Super Session” before addressing the issue seriously and asking the council if anyone wanted to discuss removing the clause from Santa Monica’s rules. Seeing no response he said the issue was settled in Santa Monica. “I think we can assure people that we’re rock solid on that issue,” he said. The City of Los Angeles removed a similar exemption from their ordinance and business groups had asked Santa Monica to do the same, arguing the rule puts non-union businesses at a competitive disadvantage. Critics said the rule exists as a tool to pressure businesses into accepting unionization. Councilwoman Sue Himmelrich said she initially opposed the union exemption but changed her mind after talking with workers. “What I learned was most people who work in these low wage jobs, would prefer to be part of a union that protects other aspects, beyond wages, of their lives,” she said. She said the other benefits of union membership, including the ability exert control over their working environment, were often of greater importance than the wages and allowing a union exemption preserved the workers rights to prioritize their own issues. “I had no right to tell workers what I thought was best for them,” she said. “These workers should have a right to control their own destiny.” While union members strongly support raising the minimum wage, organized labor actually requested a delay on the vote Tuesday night. Representatives said they want the Santa Monica ordinance to serve as a model for others in the area and to do so, it should be as comprehensive as possible with specific rules about sick leave, protections against wage theft and incorporation of a hotel living wage proposal similar to rules in Los Angeles. Francis Engler, with Unite Here Local 11 said his organization supports the minimum wage proposal and values the council’s efforts to protect union workers but said

he’d rather see a single, comprehensive law that addressed every question. “We’re going to be so careful about the details of the language because we really have to get it right here,” he said, “This is the place. If there’s anywhere where we’re going to get it just right, it’s here.” Aside from the union concerns, council also asked for more information on regulating service fees in a way that requires the fees be distributed to employees above and beyond the minimum wage. Defining seasonal exemptions, exemptions for transitional employment and the definition of an “employer” were also subjects of debate. Staff was directed to meet with interested parties to help resolve the outstanding issues. Councilwoman Gleam Davis said it was important to balance with the new rules in a way that protects small businesses while maintaining a strong rule of law. “I’m hoping that staff and the stakeholders throughout the community will try to think a little bit out of the box here,” she said. “Because I think one of the things we’re going to find ourselves wrestling with there is not just the definition of employer but local business, small business … we’re all sensitive to the idea that we don’t want to over burden our local mom and pops so that we drive them out of business, but it also seems to me that we want to be careful about carving out too many exemptions because pretty much then you have a situation where you have this great ordinance but nobody falls under it or very few people fall under it.” The rules proposed Sept. 29 were based on a minimum wage ordinance recently adopted by the City of Los Angeles. In both cases, the proposal calls for wage increases beginning next year and reaching $15 an hour by 2020. City Manager Rick Cole said the city should focus on developing strong rules that address local concerns but said everyone would benefit from an approach that was as close to the Los Angeles rules as possible. “I wouldn’t have come here if I didn’t believe in Santa Monica’s high standards and sense of uniqueness, but this is one where our ability to lead should be one where we lead in a way that we hope others will follow,” he said. “So the closer we hue to the L.A. model, the more likely we’ll get the other 86 cities to join in a regional effort and what one day we hope will be a statewide effort.” editor@smdp.com

Sellout crowd for local filmmaker and illustrator KATHRYN WHITNEY BOOLE Special to the Daily Press
Santa Monica’s Craig Shimahara evokes hints of a modern-day Da Vinci. He was born in Boyle Heights to 4th generation Japanese American parents. When he was three years old, his family moved to Orange County. Shimahara’s first love was art. He studied Fine Art at UC Irvine and earned a degree in Studio Art. He then realized that he should acquire some background for a practical career. He wisely chose to get his Masters in Architecture at UCLA, a course of study combining his love of art with the skill set to design buildings. In 1994, Shimahara took an internship with Gensler, a large international architectural firm with an office in Santa Monica. While on his honeymoon in Italy in 1995, Shimahara met a digital artist who worked for George Lucas’s digital effects studio, Industrial Light and Magic, in northern California, The artist encouraged Shimahara to combine his artistic and structural background and work towards a career in filmmaking. The skill sets that Shimahara was learning in architecture would cross over easily to directing films. As he moved up through the ranks at Gensler, he gravitated towards the illustrative aspects of architectural design. That became his specialty, and much of his work involved the same sort of computer graphics effects embraced by Industrial Light & Magic - effects he could use later in filmmaking. In 1999 Shimahara started his own architectural illustration firm in the back of his home in Santa Monica. After its first successful three years, Shimahara Illustration opened its doors on Santa Monica’s Ocean
Park Boulevard. Among his clients today are architectural powerhouses such as Kilefer Flammang Architects, Richard Meier & Partners Architects, Gensler, Frank Gehry Partners, and many more. Shimahara Illustration visuals possess an ethereal quality of space and light seldom seen in the business. Music is also extremely important to Shimahara, and he realizes that the musical score is a key piece to the perception of a film. For the last seven years, his company has hosted an event called “Unfrozen Music” at the Santa Monica Public Library, where most of the musical performers are architects. Indeed, the talent to portray spatial relationships visually often goes hand in hand with musical talent, which is also based on spatial relationships - of sound. Instinctively knowing that he had been developing the skills to be a filmmaker by following his chosen career path in architecture, Shimahara has now made his first film. This film is called Masterless. It follows an architect who must come to terms with a spiritual struggle, a struggle shown through universal imaging. The film received several honorable mention laurels from the 2015 Santa Monica Independent Film Festival. The premiere of the film at the Egyptian Theatre on September 30 sold out. Undoubtedly there will be more chances to see this unusual film.

Officers responded to a call regarding a subject defrauding an innkeeper in the 3100 block of Main Street. Upon arrival, officers made contact with the reporting party, and they were told that the subject, later identified as Garo Kassabian, 47 of Brea, was refusing to pay his bar tab. The manager told officers that Kassabian was asked to leave the bar when he became disruptive and belligerent with other patrons. He was escorted out of the bar, and the credit card he had on file for his bar tab was attempted to be used to close out, yet it was declined. Kassabian refused to produce another card in order to pay for his $230 bar tab. Officers asked if he was willing to pay his tab, yet he refused stating that he was not paying because they kicked him out. Kassabian was placed under arrest for defrauding an innkeeper. Bail was set at $500.

Sudoku Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column, and 3x3 block. Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle. The difficulty level ranges from (easiest) to (hardest).
GETTING STARTED There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing. Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

■ Pamela Downs, 45, was arrested in Kingsport, Tennessee, in July and charged with using a counterfeit $5 bill at a gas station (a bill that was merely two photocopied sides poorly glued together, with one side upside down). Downs explained as she was being cuffed, “(A)ll these other bitches get to print money so I can too.” (She told officers later that she had read “online” that “President Obama” had “made a new law” allowing people to print money if they were on a fixed income. ■ The city health office in London, Ontario, created an online sex-education game that officials hope will appeal to teenagers in that its messages are delivered by
SHEPARD
a cast of iconic superheroes. According to a February (2010) report by Canwest News Service, the players are Captain Condom (who wears a “cap”), Wonder Vag (a virgin girl), Power Pap (“sexually active”) and Willy the Kid, with each fighting the villain Sperminator, who wears a red wrestling mask and has phalluses for arms. The characters answer sex-knowledge questions and, with correct answers, obtain “protection,” but a wrong answer gets the player squirted with sperm. (The game, still online as of April 2010, can be hard to find today, but Captain Condom lives on in Canadian sex education imagery.)

Activism • Animals • Arts • Community • Education • Environment • Health
Activist in a choir dress By Colin Newton
Assuming you’ve glanced at a newspaper, turned on a television or looked at the Internet within the past week, you might have noticed that Pope Francis just visited the U.S. (If you’re an East Coast kinda reader, you might have even been caught in some of the papal traffic). Whatever you may think of the pope, and whatever your faith or lack thereof may be, you’ve gotta admit he’s an inspiring guy. It takes a lot to get
politicians, the media and lay people to start discussing issues like immigration, abortion, climate change and the economy in a civilized manner. I mean, the man made former U.S. House Speaker John Boehner cry ... again. While a pope’s revered by some and ignored by others, it’s the message that can resonate with everyone. Whatever our station, we can be activists for many issues, or any issue, that matters to us.

Strange Brew
By John Deering
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ Claim your power, and ask for what you want. Don’t be surprised if you have to repeat a conversation you have had already. Make sure your budget is right-on as you eye a financial change. Understand what you can and can’t do. Tonight: Make dinner your treat.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ You might not want to go along with a domineering friend’s plans. In the long run, this decision will make your life much easier. Listen to what someone else has to share. Don’t hesitate to question the basis of this person’s opinions. Tonight: Make plans for the weekend.
Dogs of C-Kennel
By Mick and Mason Mastroianni
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ You could feel a little out of it for a good part of the day. Take some time off if you can. You will come back feeling revitalized as a result. Give yourself what your body craves. You need a break from the hectic pace every once in a while. Tonight: Tell it like it is.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ You might want to evaluate what is happening with a project or hobby that involves several people. You could feel as if this endeavor is moving like molasses. Consider what needs to take place, and understand the role you have to play. Tonight: With a loved one.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★★ You could be in a position where you would prefer to handle a personal matter directly. Conversations occur more easily in the morning, especially in a meeting. You might decide to withdraw by late afternoon. Take some downtime. Tonight: Make it a night just for you!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★★ You might be far more assertive than you have been in a while. Consider your options more openly. You’ll feel better when you let go of some of the tension in your life. A child or loved one clearly delights in having you closer. Tonight: Work out first, then decide.
Garfield
By Jim Davis
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Take charge of a personal matter that could be bothering you. You might have to handle another situation first in order to get the results you would like. Schedule a meeting in the evening, when you can unwind enough to be receptive to what is going on. Tonight: Out late.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ Consider an option that up to now has been unavailable. A conversation with a boss or family member will put a smile on your face. How you deal with a personal matter could change for the better, if you would just relax. Tonight: Lighten up the moment.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ You might want to get a second opinion before making a decision that involves education, travel or your in-laws. Pressure builds, as you’ll have a lot to do. Be more direct with an associate; he or she needs to know where you are coming from. Tonight: At a favorite place.
Thursday, October 1, 2015
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ You could be more out of sync than you realize. Understand what is happening around you before you take action. Someone you care about might be demanding, and he or she seems to want much more from you. Tonight: Cocoon at home, if need be.
JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: ★★★★★Dynamic ★★ So-So ★★★★ Positive ★ Difficult ★★★ Average
This year you will be driven to work through some difficult situations or issues. You have a strong intuitive sense for how to make a situation work. Let go of what no longer works in your life. In the year following your next birthday, an interesting development will occur. If you are single, carefully check out anyone you meet. People could be emotionally unavailable or have other issues that you need to know about. If you are attached, plan on more downtime together. Make sure these times keep your relationship healthy. GEMINI helps you understand someone very different.
