Some children fearful of what a Trump presidency will mean BY JAMIE STENGLE Associated Press
Thirteen-year-old Sophia Davis, who is black and has friends who are Hispanic, Muslims and gay, is worried that Donald Trump’s election will lead to the acceptance of a “culture of violence and hateful speech.” “It’s just being a minority in this country. That’s hard as it is. And now having a president that is not going to stand up for those minorities, that’s even worse,” the Brooklyn, New York, eighth-grader said. Children are processing the outcome of a presidential run that was often not kid-friendly. And for some, Trump’s campaign rhetoric made them fearful of a White House controlled by the brash Republican businessman. Evan Canby-Pratt was in tears after waking up Wednesday to find that Democrat Hillary Clinton had lost. The chance to elect the first woman president had excited the 12-year-old. Trump “really scares” her with his comments about Latinos and other groups and his treatment of women. “It seems like he just takes what people are afraid of and makes them even more scared of it,” said Evan, a white seventh-grader in Fayetteville, Georgia. When 12-year-old Habib Rahman’s mother burst into tears while driving him to school the day after the election, he put his hand on her shoulder and recited a passage from the Quran about ease following hardship. “I’d barely seen my mom cry. And when I do, I feel like I should try and help her as quickly as possible,” said Habib, a seventh-grader from suburban Dallas who

Veterans honored at Virginia Avenue Park BY MARINA ANDALON Daily Press Staff Writer
Abraham Lincoln once said, “Honor to the solider and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.” This year the Virginia Avenue Park Parent Connection Group hosted their second annual
Veterans Appreciation Event. The group was established in 2014 and is comprised of families whose children participate at Virginia Avenue Park. Through empowerment and collaboration they continue to bring African-American heritage events and awareness to the Pico neighborhood. Gina Frasier, serves on the Virginia Avenue Park Advisory Board and put the event together. She has lived in Santa Monica for many
years, and has always had a passion for giving back to the veterans. “I have been surrounded by vets my whole life, and I have lost half of my family. This is simply a way of giving back, it is the least I can do,” said Frasier. My hope is to have this event grow and reach many more veterans who are struggling on the streets especially in the Pico neighborhood.” Pastor Herman Kemp showed his support by speaking to the audience, and showing his appreci-
ation to all Veterans. He introduced the Santa Monica Police explorers, who held the American flag while everyone stood to say the pledge of allegiance. The Santa Monica youth orchestra sang “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”, and was combined with children ranging from kindergarten to third grade. Many proud parents and family members were SEE VETERANS PAGE 5

Insights Into Cancer Public Lecture Head and neck cancers and cancers of the throat used to be diseases seen only in elderly patients but are on the rise in younger and healthier patients. There has been a rise in the number of these cancers, particularly those caused by particular forms of the human papilloma virus which, when found early, are highly treatable. Advances in treatment have focused on preserving function and quality of life. The treatments, however, often require a multi-disciplinary approach using a combination of modalities. Dr. Abie Mendelson will discuss the many advances in robotic surgery. Dr. Chin will discuss radiation treatment and the importance of preserving function. Dr. Wong will discuss the chemotherapeutic agents that help sensitize the tumors to radiation treatments. These treatments, even in their best form, take a toll on the physical well-
being of the patient and often require considerable symptom management. Carolyn Katzin, MS, an Integrative Specialist with specialized training in nutrition, addresses how to manage nausea, swallowing, eating and maintenance of body weight. The information presented will assist patients and families in making decisions, understanding treatments and preserving well-being into survivorship. Robert Chin, MD, PhD, is an Assistant Clinical Professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine and a radiation oncologist at UCLA. Abie Mendelsohn, MD, FACS, Assistant Professor, is the founding Director of the Head and Neck Robotic Surgery Program. Deborah Jean Lee Wong, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Division of Hematology/ Oncology.

Vote by mail ballots are the first counted and the first results to be posted. This year, the vote-by-mail results were almost identical to the city at large and that’s a sign that even if voters think they’re undecided until election day, the late deciders are falling in line with the early birds. About half of the city’s registered voters requested vote by mail ballots and the trend is increasing with early voting centers in several places. Making elections more user friendly is great, but the bad news is savvy political operators might extend the political season by starting even earlier than in years past to influence that early decision process. SMRR IS DEAD, LONG LIVE SMRR
Opposition voters have long bemoaned the power of Santa Monicans for Renters Rights in controlling local elections. However, what has become apparent is the organization is less important than the handful of individuals who helped found it. SMRR’s endorsement wasn’t necessary for Terry O’Day to win the most votes for City Council, but it’s hard to imagine he would have been so successful without the backing of other organizations backed by longtime SMRR advocates. Similarly, SMRR wasn’t an active opponent of Measure LV (the official position was “not to support”), but many opposition groups included folks with a deep SMRR history. You can spin this as the nefarious tendrils of a cabal spreading throughout the community or you can say it’s the natural extension of the dominant political philosophy representing a majority of residents. Your view probably depends on if you think your side won or lost the election.
OSCAR DE LA TORRE
At first pass, de la Torre’s results don’t look that impressive. He was sixth out of ten candidates ending the day about 570 votes behind Armen Melkonians and about 5,000 votes short of winning a seat. However, that’s actually a remarkably strong showing and right on target for someone looking to win a seat in two years. Melkonians actively campaigned, raised money and should have been boosted by the presence of Measure LV. However, de la Torre was less than a percentage point behind. De la Torre’s votes came without an active campaign, no fundraising and despite a relatively late entry into the field. It’s not unusual to run a practice campaign before mounting a full-court press and it seems clear he has established a foundation for 2018. 2016 WAS A BATTLE, NOT THE WAR
Election code requires a year wait before a ballot measure can come back but Measure LV will rise again. In the meantime, locals should expect referendums aplenty. Potential targets could be any or all development issues such as adoption of the Downtown Community Plan, development at 4th/5th/Arizona, construction at the Civic Auditorium and hotel remodels. The opinions expressed in SMDP editorials are those of the paper’s Editorial Board.

LOCALS DECIDE EARLY
Aside from the Rent Control race, incumbents swept the board this year. There’s always a lot of talk about how to get elected in Santa Monica but the most reliable indicator of winning an election is to have already won an election. The outlier at RCB was Christopher Walton who filed paperwork but did not campaign for the position. Even then, he still ended the night with 17 percent of the vote. If challengers can’t break through, the end result is likely to be an increase in calls for term limits and/or district based elections.

For all their faults, American elections are still one of the greatest examples of democracy in action. Whether you win or lose, at the end of the day there are always lessons to be learned and the will of the people is made known. The easy lesson this year is that Santa Monican’s continue to support local education and affordable housing. We think there are some additional nuggets buried in the 2016 results.

The veterans were not only honored at the event but also received a swag bag from the Santa Monica Police Department and had the opportunity to talk to the children and share their stories. Albert R. Cole, a veteran who was born and raised in the Pico neighborhood attended the event. “I was part of the 589 Signal Battalion and was stationed in Germany,” Cole said. “I am very honored to be here, to be a veteran and to serve this country. If I had to do it again, I would.” Many people had the opportunity to share their stories among each other and some took the stage to say thank you and how important veterans are to them.

We thank you.” He acknowledged every veteran at the event and said thank you to each, as well as the families that attended. “On behalf of the Police Officer Union we have provided food for everyone as a thank you,” said Captain Muir.

would’ve liked to see Democratic Sen. Bernie Sanders go farther in the race. As the family watched the election results, his mother, Melissa Walker, grew concerned that they could become targets, thinking of comments Trump had made about Muslims, which included proposing a ban on foreign Muslims entering the U.S. She said she doesn’t think Trump would speak out against violence toward Muslims. “It’s upsetting,” Habib said, “because most people coming to the country are trying to find a safer place.” Trump also promised during his campaign to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, accused Mexico of sending rapists and other criminals here and advocated mass deportations. He’s tried to walk back some of the harshest comments. Osiris Ramirez said he wasn’t happy that Trump won “because of what he said about Mexicans and all that.” The 10-year-old Phoenix boy’s parents are Mexican immigrants who recently became U.S. citizens, and he’s worried that Trump will not treat immigrants fairly. Ethan Hedden, a seventh-grader in Fayetteville, Georgia, said he favored Trump in the election. The 13-year-old called much of the reaction over Trump’s comments “a little bit overdramatic” but said he could also see where other people were coming from. The election was the topic of many conversations at school, he said, but he found other students were unwilling to discuss anything negative about Clinton, who faced persistent questions about her honesty and

trustworthiness. He thought many classmates were more anti-Trump than proClinton. Among the things he didn’t like about Clinton were her ideas on tightening restrictions on guns. “Mostly, I just kept quiet and listened to them,” said Ethan, whose mother is Native American and father is of Italian descent. Nine-year-old Gracyn Marquez was fine with either candidate winning. “I kind of wanted Donald Trump to win because he’s a really good businessman, but I also wanted Hillary to win because she’s a strong woman,” the Dallas-area third-grader said. Her Hispanic father, Mateo Marquez, who teaches kids mindfulness through yoga, said he asked those in a preschool class on Election Day what they would do if they were president. He said their answers were “simple but very powerful” and included being nice to people and giving homes to the homeless. Lamisa Mustafa, a 17-year-old Dallasarea high school senior who is Muslim, said she was sad and scared that Americans had elected Trump. She said his talk of a ban on Muslims goes against American values and religious freedom. But as the week went on, she took heart from Clinton’s concession speech and is looking forward. She worries that protests over Trump might hurt the goal of unity. “We need to keep fighting for what we believe in — make sure that none of our rights are threatened,” she said. “But we can do that with peaceful conversations with people.”

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the idea that fake news spread on Facebook influenced the outcome of the U.S. election is "crazy." Still, the majority of Americans (six in 10) say they get at least some news from social media , mostly Facebook, according to the Pew Research Center. While a lot of this news comes from established outlets — whether CNN or BuzzFeed News, misinformation spreads on Facebook just as information does, shared by users, recommended by software and amplified by both. Sources of spurious information have ranged from news articles produced by "content farms" for the sole purpose of getting clicks, to "hyperpartisan" sites from both sides of the political spectrum, churning out stories that are misleading at best. Case in point: "FBI AGENT SUSPECTED IN HILLARY EMAIL LEAKS FOUND DEAD IN APPARENT MURDER-SUICIDE" — a fabricated headline from a fake news site called the Denver Guardian, was shared thousands of times in the days leading up to the election. Is it possible that voters were swayed for or against a candidate, much like those same people might buy a product after seeing an ad on Facebook? Zuckerberg says voters deserve more credit. During an interview Thursday with "The
Facebook Effect" author David Kirkpatrick, Zuckerberg said idea that people voted the way they did because of bogus information on Facebook shows a "profound lack of empathy" for supporters of Donald Trump. "Voters make decisions based on their lived experience," he said. Given the acerbic political contest from which the country just emerged, when countless longtime friends, even family, were unfriended, many are left to wonder if there would be an alternative American history being written today if it were not for Facebook, Twitter and the like. This, after all, was the first truly social media election, playing out on Twitter and Facebook as much or more than it did on major networks, in living rooms and around watercoolers. But isn't social media just a reflection of our world as it exists? Has Facebook become an easy scapegoat when the answer is far more complex? While Pew found that many believe political discussions on social media to be "uniquely angry and disrespectful," a comparable number have the same impression of face-to-face conversations when it comes to Democrats, the GOP, or another party. FILTER BUBBLE?
When it comes to Facebook users, Zuckerberg said almost everyone has friends on the "other side." Even if 90 percent of SEE FACEBOOK PAGE 10

s the sun set on Oct. 8th, Daily Press Account Executive, Jennifer Medina and Sony Financial Analyst, Daniel Rice exchanged vows in front of 145 close family and friends. The ceremony and reception took place in the iconic beach town of Marina Del Rey, CA.
The Santa Monica based couple penned their own vows and felt truly honored to have the ceremony officiated by Santa Monica Daily Press Publisher, Rob Schwenker. Tears and smiles were in abundance, as the bride walked down the aisle to Train’s “Marry Me”, performed by musician, Chris Vincent who also played classic ballads during the cocktail hour. Clad in a Zac Posen design, the bride donned borrowed jewels from longtime Santa Monica jeweler, Edward Avedis. He also designed the couple’s engagement and wedding rings. Skipping tradition, the newlyweds made their debut as Mr. and Mrs. in a flash mob dance. Pretenders Studio owner and bridesmaid, Lisa Gumenick choregraphed the routine as well as the couples' first dance to “Someone Like You” by Van Morrison. Mariachi’s played during dinner while guests feasted on fried chicken. A meal inspired by the couples’ joint bachelor and bachelorette party that took place in New Orleans. As the night wore on, guests danced to tunes spun by DJ Mozo and enjoyed delicious spice cake from Hansen’s Bakery. The couple threw quite the party, leaving guests entertained, full and drunk on love and an open bar.
“It's funny how life comes full circle. I grew up reading the Daily Press and dreaming of the sparkling jewelry from Readers that I might wear on my wedding day. As I stood in front of family and friends, my co-worker and friend, publisher of the daily press officiated the wedding and the diamonds I wore from Readers, sparkled in the sunset.” said Jenny. “My happily ever after has come true.”

ON NOVEMBER 4, AT ABOUT 5:20 P.M. Officers responded to Urban Outfitters- 1440 3rd Street Promenade- regarding suspicious persons loitering in the store. An employee identified the subjects as possibly being involved in a series of retail burglaries. The subjects exited the store prior to the officer’s arrival causing a security alarm to sound. Officers were able to locate the subjects on the Promenade and detained them for an investigation. An investigation revealed the subjects were observed in the store carrying merchandise but did not make a purchase. As the subjects exited, employees noticed their bags appeared fuller and the security alarm was activated. Officers recovered several items of merchandise some with sensors and without tags. Both suspects were placed under arrest without incident. At SMPD Jail, several debit cards and an identification in another’s name were recovered. Alicia Joy Brown, 28, from Los Angeles was arrested for burglary, probation violation and appropriation of lost property. Bail was set at $20,000. Shante Marie Thompson, 30 from Los Angles, was issued a citation receiving stolen property.

candidate or that are of another religion," Zuckerberg said. "But it's that you just don't click on it. You actually tune it out when you see it. I don't know what to do about that."
FACEBOOK FROM PAGE 6
your friends are Democrats, for example, 10 percent will be Republican. Still, that's not a very big number, and the idea of a "filter bubble" — that social media allows people to surround themselves only with the people and ideas with whom they agree, has been a hot topic this election cycle. "By far the biggest filter in the system is not that the content isn't there, that you don't have friends who support the other
A DIFFICULT LINE
Facebook has long denied that it's a publisher or a media company, or that it acts remotely like either. Its cheery slogan — to make the world more "open and connected" — seemingly invites a broad range of viewpoints, diverse, lively discussion and the free flow of information, rather than censorship.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 12)
But it could also make clamping down on fake news difficult. At a time when everyone seems entitled, not just to their own opinions, but to their own facts, one person's misleading headline might be another person's heartfelt truth. "We take misinformation on Facebook very seriously," Adam Mosseri, the executive in charge of Facebook's news feed, said in a statement to the tech blog TechCrunch this week. "We value authentic communication, and hear consistently from those who use Facebook that they prefer not to see misinformation."
Facebook acknowledges that it has more work to do, and it seems to be putting a lot of faith in the power of data, artificial intelligence and algorithms as the solution. Over the summer, Facebook fired the small group of journalists in charge of its "trending" items and replaced them with an algorithm. The catalyst appeared to be a report in a tech blog, based on an anonymous source, that the editors routinely suppressed conservative viewpoints. Subsequently, fake stories ahead of the election began to trend.

Strange Brew
By PETER GALLAGHER
By JOHN DEERING
The solar year brings a sense of coming into your age -- a new era of you! It’s something special. There’s an expression you’ve been wanting to project, and now you can’t help but do so. It’s a fresh role. It changes your whole game, from love to money to personal beliefs -- a real transformation. Capricorn and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 6, 3, 39 and 22.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Your home should be a refuge, and yet you spend an awful lot of time tiptoeing around people and circumstances relating to the domestic lately. That’s not peaceful! Make a move to improve this before it spoils your well-being.
Since you’re in such a hurry this week, here’s a time-saver: Learn as much as you can about where you’re going before you take the first step. See your desired result in action.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Don’t hold on to secrets or shame out of fear of being judged. Half the time people are so into their own dramas that they could care less about yours. Tell, don’t tell -- that doesn’t matter. But in your own mind, let it go and be free.
Whatever you want to accomplish today, it will happen through networks. Bonus: You’ll see where you could add a few people -- people with different skills who are thrilled to be aligned with your specialness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) GEMINI (May 21-June 21) What’s in the stars for you now is a love as pure and all-consuming as a mother’s love for a child, only not from your mother and not for the childish part of you. This is a full-grown affection.
Your friends might falter. Now it’s up to you to uphold the values of kindness and decency, which, paradoxically, you’ll do in the most humorous and irreverent manner.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) CANCER (June 22-July 22) To join another person’s world requires you to leave your own for a little while. Do you find this scary or adventurous? Probably both today, though you might be calmed by your accompaniment.
Your whole being leans toward one primary aim -- to raise the energy around you wherever you go. It’s a secret intention, perhaps an unconscious one, and a noble purpose for sure.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) When you’re in that bubbly, break-the-ice kind of mood you’re liable to say the things that bring people together, make them giggle and also possibly ruffle feathers. If that happens, it’s par for the course.
How do you get better? The answer is really simple. Live. Live consciously. Pay attention. Attention is love. If you seek improvement, you’ll tend to it, which is the same as loving it, which is eventually becoming it.
Dogs of C-Kennel
By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Celebrities lend their endorsements to products for financial gain, but you have something much more integral at stake. You only make recommendations for what you absolutely believe in, a habit you’ll repeat today.
Do you know someone who already has what you want? This will be most helpful. You need to analyze the qualities and know all there is to know about them.

By JOHN DEERING & JOHN NEWCOMBE
Mercurial Nonsense Philosophers have debated for centuries on the differences between various types of nonsense. Since no one can come to a consensus about it, it is reasonable to assume that your nonsense is as important as any other nonsense that’s ever existed. Also, Mercury transiting into Sagittarius favors the discovery of new very important nonsense.
