Butterfly release to support SMMUSD approves $1.25M in expenses educational achievement BY MARINA ANDALON Daily Press Staff Writer
The Emily Shane Foundation will release a 1,000 native California butterflies at Bluff ’s Park in Malibu on Nov. 13 in tribute to the mentors and role models who have made a difference in the lives of local youth. 13-year old Emily Shane was tragically murdered on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu in April 2010 and her parents, Michel and Ellen, started The Emily Shane Foundation in 2012 as a way to honor their daughter.
The foundation provides individualized, intensive mentoring to struggling and or failing middle school students in the mainstream classroom. Emily was smart and capable yet struggled in school due to processing challenges. She attended middle school at Malibu High School and struggled everyday in class with dyslexia making classwork more difficult. It was through the help of outside support that she was able to succeed. After Emily passed Ellen

Several orders for arts education were approved, including more than $345,000 to P.S. ARTS and $18,500 to a drama instructor. The purchase order for P.S. ARTS follows the board’s August approval of a contract topping $607,000 with the Los Angelesbased nonprofit organization. Money for the contract, which was raised by the Santa Monica-Malibu Education Foundation, will support arts instruction for elementary school students, kindergarteners and preschoolers.

Initiative Reform and Measure LV Drafting Errors IN CALIFORNIA, THE RIGHT TO INITIATIVE,
referendum and recall is a pro-democracy tool considered sacrosanct by many. Ever since October 10, 1911 - when California voters passed Proposition 7 (the California Initiative and Referendum Proposition) — Californians have had the right to write their own laws, and have those laws placed on the ballot for a public vote through the initiative process. But unlike initiatives placed on the ballot by the state legislature - or on the local level by city or county governments - initiatives drafted by the people do not undergo upfront public review that includes public input and legal staff review. As a result, many such ballot measures have unintended consequences — and/or end up in the courts — as a result of drafting errors that could have been addressed early on, if there were more eyes on the process. PUBLIC REVIEW BEFORE GATHERING SIGNATURES
Recognizing this, in 2011 State Senator Darryl Sternberg (D-Sacramento) successfully authored SB1253, (a) requiring the Attorney General to initiate a 30 day public review process (upon the receipt of a request from the proponents of a proposed initiative measure for a circulating ballot measure title and summary); and (b) permitting proponents of the proposed initiative measure, during the public review period, to submit amendments reasonably germane to the theme, purpose, or subject of the measure as originally proposed. In plain English, this means that proponents of a initiative ballot measure — and the public at-large — can benefit from wider public review, by proponents having the opportunity to amend their measure before hitting the streets to gather petition signatures, without having to pay new fees and resubmitting the measure. State law does not provide for a similar pre-review and amend process for cities, nor has Santa Monica as a charter city chosen to add one. The debate over local Measure LV this November is suffering as a result. CHARTER CITY FLEXIBILITY

OPERATIONS/ CIRCULATION/LEGAL SERVICES MANAGER
OpinionCommentary
Measure LV would place practically every development over two stories in the city on the ballot for a public vote. Because of this, debate has arisen over whether LV would require a public vote before property owners could rebuild — in the case of an earthquake or other major natural disaster — to their pre-existing building height and envelope. There are state laws that address such rebuilds for California cities. But under the home rule provisions of California’s state constitution, Santa Monica as a charter city has more flexibility than the state’s general law cities, and thereby can enact legislation different from that adopted by the state legislature. Because of this, previous Santa Monica voter-sponsored initiatives that would limit local development have been very explicit about what kind of exceptions would apply. For example, in an effort to halt the proliferation of luxury hotels along Santa Monica’s beachfront, in November 1990
Santa Monica voters approved Proposition S, which established a Beach Overlay District prohibiting hotel, motel and certain restaurant developments in the district. To ensure there would be no ambiguity or conflict with existing law, the authors of Proposition S also defined everything that would be acceptable, even down to specifying what kind of recreational uses would still be permitted. QUAKE OF A MISTAKE
Unlike with Proposition S, the authors of Measure LV did not include this level of specificity. This has unnecessarily created a legal grey zone with negative consequences. Existing state and local law generally allows property owners to rebuild to that building’s previous height and envelope even if previous height and massing exceeds current standards. An example was the rebuilding of the eight story Sea Castle apartments, (south of the Santa Monica Pier at 1725 Ocean Front Walk), made uninhabitable by the January 1994 Northridge Earthquake. Without this option, the Sea Castle - which was built in the 1920s, long before current low-rise beachfront height limits - could have only been re-built to three stories. Today going forward under Measure LV, the height limit for all future development in the city would be two stories, unless a public vote would allow it to go higher. How would this requirement interact with rebuilding after an earthquake? Santa Monica City Staff estimates that there 1,700 structures could come under such requirement, of which 1,300 are residential uses. What happens under LV when a four-story apartment building is destroyed by an earthquake? Do the property owners get to rebuild at four stories — or only two, unless they go to the ballot? Because the authors of Measure LV failed to exempt such rebuilds, the answer would likely have to be settled in the courts. Why? Santa Monica’s charter city status means the LV voter approval requirement could take precedence in such cases. Additionally, state law allows a city to prohibit the reconstruction of multifamily residential buildings, if the city makes certain determinations that it would not be good for the community. Measure LV could certainly be argued to be leaving such a determination to voter approval, given its standard that any development over two stories is considered exceptional. If Santa Monica voters pass Measure LV, it will be the City Attorney’s responsibility to defend it. Since LV did not explicitly exempt rebuilds necessitated by natural disasters when it could have, why should the City Attorney be expected to do otherwise? Now, what do you do if you are the property owners, faced with the cost and delay of either going to the ballot, or a court fight over whether you need to? Will you try to rebuild to four stories of apartments? Or will you build two stories of luxury condos, displacing residents and further gentrifying the city?

tion, will you just sell out to a big corporation who has the resources to fight it out? MORE TRANSPARENCY IN DRAFTING INITIATIVES
After the January 1994 Northridge earthquake, thousands of Santa Monicans were displaced, and many businesses were in a state of disrepair. The City Council passed an emergency ordinance facilitating the rebuilding of buildings damaged or destroyed by the earthquake, especially the homes of Santa Monica residents living in multifamily residential buildings. If Santa Monica is hit by another major earthquake, LV could make an already difficult situation worse, by interfering with the City’s ability to act decisively again to heal the community. This didn’t have to happen. By unfortunate choice, Measure LV was primarily written out of public view, by a small number of people. Then it was promoted (short-hand) as a measure about traffic and development,
and Aquamarine, both based out of wavebattered Scotland, went belly up recently despite funding from the Scottish government and plans to build out the biggest wave energy farms in the world based on the success of earlier prototypes. Aquamarine’s CEO John Malcolm chalked up his company’s demise to “the considerable financial, regulatory and technical challenges faced by the ocean energy sector as a whole.” Meanwhile, cheap natural gas and the surge in solar and wind power options have kept ocean energy on the back burner. But wave power is far from dead in the water. Besides the experimental wave farm off Oahu, two larger projects are being built off the coast of the United Kingdom, while three additional projects are underway around Australia. Funding for these projects has come from not only the host governments but also the private sector. American defense contractor Lockheed Martin, for one, is a big player in deployment of wave power technologies and is a driving force behind the 19 megawatt, grid-connected wave power station currently in the works near Victoria, Australia. Here in the U.S., wave energy advocates say the federal government has done too little to encourage research and development in this promising niche of the energy sector. Subsidies and tax incentives helped solar and wind power grow from pipe dreams in the 1980s to significant players in the global energy mix of today. Wave power advocates would like to see similar incentives employed to boost the development of ocean-based renewable energy sources, but for that to happen the American public will need to speak up to get Congress to act.

when it is actually about radically changing the City’s approvals process (and the multiple unintended consequences that come with it.) But what was not publicized while residents were being asked to sign LV petitions, was this less sexy but extremely important question about earthquake recovery. It’s time for the City Council to ask for City Staff to bring back options for a local version of SB1253, to allow for a mandatory local 30-day period of public review and potential amendment of local initiatives, before they are submitted to residents for signatures to place them on the ballot. LV’s authors should be held responsible for not seeking more wide community input, for the lack of transparency in drafting their measure, and for unnecessarily putting us in this position of potential legal dispute and multiple unintended consequences. But as a community, we should not allow this to be done to us again. MICHAEL FEINSTEIN is former Santa Monica Mayor (2000-2002) and City Councilmember (1996-2004)

September 2016 when Hawaii-based Naval researchers started feeding power from two experimental offshore wave energy devices into the grid on nearby Oahu, representing the first time the American public could access electricity derived from ocean waves. The trickle of energy from these experimental devices doesn’t amount to anything substantial yet, but wave energy’s potential is huge. Analysts think we could derive at least a quarter of U.S. electricity needs by harnessing wave power around our coasts. Most other countries around the world have coastlines they could exploit for wave energy, as well, if engineers could create affordable technology to capture and transport the energy back to shore where it would be used to power local communities or get fed into existing larger power grids. But just because we can tap ocean energy big time doesn’t mean we necessarily will, given the high costs of getting started, technical issues with maintaining offshore equipment, and the challenges of scaling up for mass consumption. The world’s first experimental wave farm, the Aguçadoura Wave Park off the coast of Portugal, went online in September 2008 with three wave energy converter machines, but ceased operations only two months later when bearings on the equipment gave way, underscoring the technical challenges of running complicated heavy machinery in unstable marine environments. While such technical problems may be frustrating, financial concerns loom larger over wave energy’s future. Two of the biggest wave energy endeavors in the world, Pelamis

Panic mode Editor:
Kevin McKeown is really in panic mode in his frantic attempts to repulse the LV initiative. He twists himself in pretzels to justify his anti-LV stance and stands firm allowing City Council solely to determine what Santa Monica should look like. Why let Santa Monica residents participate in the future of their city? What a crazy idea! Mr. McKeown has suggested that LV would cause climate change, would deprive newborn Santa Monicans of a place to live, force seniors from their homes, make traffic worse (if that is possible) and will cause all sorts crises and dreadful unintended consequences. This is the same person a year ago that proposed “talking gas pumps.” He also claims that the League of Women Voters believe that empowering the voters will “overwhelm and confuse us”. Really? Who is “us”? Our City Council? Mr. McKeown may be having panic attacks but he still knows the City Council has the multimillionaire developers in their back pockets and the high-rise developers can easily out-spend the Santa Monica residents and LV supporters

Measure LV Too Extreme Too Full of Frightening Loopholes Editor: The LV (LUVE) initiative focuses on old problems and concerns. It does not offer anything innovative or creative. It merely wants to “shut things down.” A new generation 80 million strong will change the old and outdated blind adherence to fossil fuel and the excessive consumption of earth’s resources. They want to try new ways that cut down on cars and needed parking space, promote alternative transportations and energy sources. The process has already begun. The LV (LUVE) initiative seems fearful of the future. In a regressive return to the “way it used to be,” it promotes exclusivity and minimizes diversity. Only the well-to-do will be able to afford to live in Santa Monica. Unfettered change can lead to unintentional consequences whereas a steady and well thought out plan can build a secure and successful future for us all. The Downtown Planning Commission presented a slide show and talk of the future of Santa Monica to interested residents. It was broad based and planned for sensible growth for the next twenty years, emphasizing balance, reasonable growth and quality of life for all of Santa Monica. There are important questions to ask yourself suggested by the LV measure if passed: Can we afford the time and money to put any current hospital, school, fire or police station for repair approval by election after an emergency? Did you realize some current building over two stories that needs repairs or remodeling will require an election for approval? If you currently live in a residential building or rent/lease in an office building over two stories, will your landlord spend the money to fund a ballot measure plus repair your building?

City of Santa Monica taxes kids STEM education Editor: Meet our friendly, knowledgeable staff Find a complete selection of Plumbing Supplies Hardware Supplies Garden Supplies Building Materials
Everything but the kitchen sink Your local source for hardware, garden and building materials since 1947
Outrageous but true. The City of Santa Monica aggressively taxes our kids STEM education, trying to close Santa Monica Airport against the wishes of the Federal Government. Is there no limit to how low a local government will stoop? Two weeks ago, I took three groups of three kids aged 8 to 14 years old on their first half-hour flight in a small airplane out of SMO. The event was organized by the Santa Monica Chapter 11 of the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) with their Young Eagles program, to encourage interest in aviation and offer a practical lesson in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and history, and more. You can see pictures of all the happy kids at www.Facebook.com/EAAChapter11 In an effort to “starve” the airport into bankruptcy (their own words), the city council taxes all aircraft landing at SMO, even those based here that are already paying for tiedown or hangar space, in my case $16.44 per landing for my borrowed Piper Cherokee 140 model weighing about 2,100 lbs, about sixty percent of the weight of Mayor Tony Vazquez's automobile, plying the streets of Santa Monica city-tax-free. So to take nine Santa Monica kids flying and give them a highlight to their day and educate them on STEM, I was taxed a total $65.76 for four landings at SMO while volunteering the airplane and my time to Santa Monica kids STEM education. Why would any progressive city government discourage STEM program education volunteer efforts? Landing fees are already waived for medical mercy flights so why not for broadening children’s education? Although Santa Monica is just one of over 5,000 public use airports in the nation, it accounts for 45% of all legal actions filed with the FAA in 2016 over compliance with Federal law. Stealing from kids STEM education to pay attorney fees in an effort to close SMO and redevelop the land is just short sighted. No wonder the Federal Government is investigating the City. Nice work City Council.

Crime Watch is culled from reports provided by the Santa Monica Police Department. These are arrests only. All parties are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
ON OCTOBER 5, 2016 AT ABOUT 7:45 A.M. an SMPD officer was patrolling the alley in the 3000 block of Prospect Ave when he came across a homeless man camping. The man was on a mattress with a nightstand next to it, along with numerous bags and backpacks of personal property. The officer advised the man of the city ordinance against public camping and asked for his identification to issue him a citation. The man was unable to provide an ID or information to positively identify himself. The officer placed him under arrest to transport him to the police station where he could be identified, issued a citation, and released. The officer gathered up all the man’s belongings and searched them for contraband prior to transporting him to the SMPD jail. During the search of a backpack, the officer located four credit cards in two different names. The man told the officer the cards were his and the names were two of his many aliases. The officer was able to investigate the names on the cards and discovered they were stolen from a car on Arizona Ave. the previous day. The victim of the theft said the cards incurred several unauthorized charges. The victim further told the officer he didn’t know the man in possession of his credit cards and he didn’t give him permission to have or use them. The man was additionally found to be in possession of methamphetamine at the time of his arrest. He was transported and booked for the camping ordinance, possession of stolen property, possession of a controlled substance, and violation of probation. Aaron Broadbent, 34, homeless, was held without bail.

felt she needed to help the children who are struggling in school just like her daughter did. She said, “There are so many students headed towards a negative path when they don’t feel confident or successful in school. They end up failing or dropping out and some kids who fail have low esteem or lash out, overall it doesn’t lead to anything positive.” Ellen decided to create the Successful Education Achievement (SEA) program that provides students with intensive mentoring and support. SEA students are those who risk falling through the cracks or at risk of being left behind. These students struggle not only in the classroom but also financially, making it difficult to receive after school support. The cost to each SEA student is to participate in a good deed for every single mentoring session, which is typically twice a week.

coordinator, Robert Howard, gave a speech at last month’s Back to School rally about what it means to be a hero, according to the Samohi student newspaper. COMPUTER SERVICES
In drama-free fashion, the school board approved a contract of up to $60,000 with Kevin McKeown for computer services. District payments to McKeown, a Santa Monica City Council member, were the subject of controversy last year following a public back-and-forth between him and school board member Oscar de la Torre. After McKeown heard that de la Torre had tried to reach him through district channels, he recused himself on a council vote regarding funding for Pico Youth and Family Center, which de la Torre runs. A day later, de la Torre recused himself from a vote on a school district consent calendar that included a payment to McKeown. PYFC is again receiving city funding after being stripped of public money last June.
The mentors each complete a training prior to working with the students and work on studies and organizational skills. Ellen said, “By having a mentor, someone tutoring them and explaining everything can really turn things around.” They are starting their fifth year, and now serving schools in Malibu, Oxnard, Culver City, South Los Angeles, Westchester, Pico Rivera and Santa Monica. The Foundation release the butterflies at 2 p.m. on Nov. 13 at Bluff ’s Park in Malibu (24250 Pacific Coast Hwy). The event will include live music, interactive butterfly exhibits, silent auction and art projects. All proceeds will be going to The Emily Shane foundation and the SEA Program. “Last year the event was magical, it represented transformation kinda like the students who are transforming their lives,” said Ellen. “This year we hope to get each butterfly sponsored.” For more information visit www.emilyshane.org.
PARENT ENGAGEMENT
The district is paying $13,300 for a state PTA consultant to assist with parent engagement, a recurring topic as the district attempts to close longstanding achievement gaps. Gail Pinsker, the SMMUSD public relations officer, said at a recent school board meeting that she plans to work with community liaisons to improve outreach to families, particularly those for whom English is a second language. PHOTOGRAPHY
The district was expected to pay B&H Photo Video more than $16,000 for photography equipment to be used for career technical education. SMMUSD made headlines in the photography world when Samohi student Nico Young’s series detailing high school life was published in the New York Times magazine. The school board recognized Young and his teacher, Martin Ledford, during a recent meeting at district headquarters. jeff@smdp.com

■ Traditionally, most physicians have been independent businessmen. They hang their shingles and begin treating patients as sole proprietors. But surveys show more and more doctors are opting to become salaried employees in the hospitals where they work. ■ The question is: Does this trend improve patient care? ■ The answer, according to a new study in Annals of Internal Medicine: Not really. ■ Researchers looked at metrics like mortality, readmission rates (an indication that a problem wasn’t truly resolved) and patient satisfaction between physicians who worked independently and those who worked for hospitals. Switching to an employment model didn’t really change things.

Your emotional skill set will be put to good use; relationships make this year joyful. Spikes in income will come in November, December and May. Your best friends will surround you as you explore new places in June. Career matters will require you to dig deeper, study harder and be generally more assertive. Leo and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 33, 39, 8 and 27.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
You have big dreams and the passion to match. It’s why you show up early, stay late and do whatever else it takes to complete this (rather challenging) step.
Claiming oneself as the center of reality is a sure way to gain the contempt of others. You do the opposite, centering your life on the service of your loved ones, and you gain their undying devotion.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you’re concerned about meeting expectations or being good enough in any way, you can let go of those worries. First of all, you’re the one who will set up the expectation. Put it where you want it, and then deliver more.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
In order to ask for help from the right people - that is to say, the ones who are in a position to give it -- there is some research to be done. Start with who you know, and work your way toward who you want to know.
What about when it doesn’t add up? What about when there is a deficit that no one can reconcile? If it’s not happening, it’s not. What is there to do next? Nothing -- except the one step, the step you take now.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Forgetful? Write it down. Procrastinating? Set a timer. Distracted? Lock the door, turn off the Wi-Fi, and get down to business. Today’s best solutions will be simple, elegant and obvious.
This was all just a dream; that’s the way you’ll think about it. People with much more of a handle on the rules will show you the inside workings, and you’ll be in a position of choice about what to do next.
You can’t stop time, but you can slow it with your mind, keep it from slipping through your fingers, cling to it as it passes. Hang on tight. These moments are worth noting.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) There are two reasons to cross things off your to-do list -- because they are done or because they will never be done. Forces will collude to help you get more realistic about what you truly want.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your way will work, but it’s not the best you can do. Get help; reach out. Use your current projects as an excuse to get to expand your network. There are people out there you really need to know.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Due to recent changes and new influences, there are a lot of thoughts zinging around today -- an awful, terrible lot. But should you really be thinking about what to think? How about you reason it out on paper instead?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll be surprised by how much joy you can extract from your obligations, especially when they involve your community. Work the phone today. Your gift of gab is stellar.
Zack Hill Full Moon After-Party Every socialite knows that the after-party is the real party. The trouble is managing to stay awake for it. If you paced yourself over the weekend, you should be good for the fun today. The best part will be what you didn’t expect. These are energetic, unpredictable and ever-so-stylish times.
