NEW YORK The potatoes are wrong. The football game’s too loud. The kids aren’t dressed right. Thanksgiving can, of course, be a great joy, but with so many beloved traditions on the line it can also be prime ground for sniping and griping the first time the torch has been passed. Your mother, mother-in-law, father or father-in-law might be thrilled to give up hosting after many decades, but that doesn’t mean they’ll behave themselves once sidelined, said Ruth Nemzoff, author of “Don’t Bite Your Tongue: How to Foster Rewarding Relationships with Your Adult Children.” Before you find yourself wrapping yellow crime scene tape around the kitchen as you slurp white wine from the bottle with a crazy straw, just listen to what Nemzoff has to say: - Give them a role, whether it’s asking mom to make her famous pumpkin pie or contribute a favorite family tablecloth, platter or candlesticks. - Don’t implode. There’s no need to convince yourself you couldn’t possibly measure up. Rather than get crazy with comparisons, let the elders know you hope to emulate them. - Make new foods but keep the old. Thanksgiving is about the familiar. Families expect to see the same dishes each year. Introduce menu changes slowly. - Don’t feel you have to make everything yourself like your predecessors. It’s fine to reach out for side dishes or - gasp - cater. Secretly or otherwise. Andrew Royce Bauer, 21, of Neptune, New Jersey, and his 21-year-old cousin, Alexandra, are doing all the cooking this year but sticking to the usual place, the largish upper Manhattan apartment of Alexandra’s mother. And they’re doing something else: providing a la carte side dishes and other menu tweaks to accommodate the Atkins groupies, Paleo followers and gluten-free folks among the 15 to 25 people expected - something that hasn’t consciously happened in the past. “We’re a little apprehensive,” he said. “It’s one of our family’s favorite holidays. They’re going to be watching over our backs to make

CONNECTION: Crews have been working to remove poles to connect Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the expo expansion.
BY DAVID MARK SIMPSON Daily Press Staff Writer
CULVER CITY Construction of the incoming Expo Light Rail is now 80 percent complete. Earlier this month, Phase 1 of the Expo line - which runs from Culver City to Downtown Los Angeles and opened in April of 2012 - was connected to Phase 2, which
will end in Downtown Santa Monica. Crews tied together electrical component of Phase 2 with the under-construction Phase 1 at the Culver City station on Nov. 8. The tie-ins were expected to be completed this weekend. “Crews worked throughout the weekend to pull the wire and fiber optic cable from Phase 2 into Phase 1 and route it into the
Communications and Systems building at Culver City Station,” Expo officials said in a release. “The existing dead-end Overhead Catenary System poles and bumper posts were removed so that rail equipment can travel onto the Venice Boulevard Bridge and along the rest of the Phase 2 alignment when SEE EXPO PAGE 7

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Malibu
Malibu film screening The Malibu community will have the opportunity to preview an important new film by actor director Daniel Baldwin and support the Malibu Community Labor Exchange at a special screening of Baldwin’s new film Sunday, Nov. 16, at Pepperdine’s Elkins Auditorium. “The Wisdom to Know the Difference” is a powerful film that tackles the issue of alcohol addiction. The screening begins at 5 p.m. and it will be followed with a question and answer session with the cast. The event, sponsored by SOBA Recovery Center, benefits the Malibu Labor Exchange. A $20 donation is suggested and tickets are available in advance at Eventbrite.com/E/screening-of-the-filmwisdom-tickets-13791317201. The event is the fourth installment in the Labor Exchange’s “Night of Community Awareness” series. Last year’s event was the screening of the film “Ethel,” a documentary by Rory Kennedy about Ethel Kennedy and her life-long fight for civil rights. The Labor Exchange is a communitybased nonprofit created to establish a day worker hiring center as a convenient, organized, and humane alternative to day workers gathering on public streets. Considered one of the most successful day labor programs of its kind in the nation,

the MCLE has been serving the Malibu community since 1993. MCLE supporter Rich Little, minister at Pepperdine’s University Church of Christ, said the Labor Exchange deserves generous support. “Our community is served by great men and women from the Malibu Labor Exchange,” he said. “Many of these workers come from very difficult circumstances, we know little about. We can make a huge difference in their lives and families by offering our support.” Written and directed by Baldwin, “Wisdom” features an all-star cast that includes Baldwin, his brother William Baldwin, Lou Diamond Phillips and Mayra Leal. Kay Gabbard, MCLE board president, said the film perfectly fits the non-profit’s “Night of Community Awareness” theme. “The message of the movie is hope and perseverance and the reality of the world of addiction,” he said. The mission of the MCLE is to provide an organized and supportive place for the people of Malibu to hire and be hired, creating opportunities for the unemployed to build independence and self-sufficiency through work. “This is a great opportunity to come out and support the Labor Exchange,” Gabbard said. “The MCLE is our Malibu community’s humanitarian outreach to bring dignity to the process of becoming

Population stabilization no quick fix for environmental crisis
Ross Furukawa ross@smdp.com
EDITOR IN CHIEF Matthew Hall matt@smdp.com
A STUDY RECENTLY PUBLISHED IN THE prestigious scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has generated a lot of media buzz, but for the wrong reason. The study, by ecological researchers Corey Bradshaw and Barry Brook at the University of Adelaide in Australia, is entitled “Human population reduction is not a quick fix for environmental problems.” In a sense, it merely confirms the obvious: that reducing the massive and biosphere-devouring impacts of 7.2 billion humans on Earth to acceptable levels cannot happen fast enough by voluntary and humane means alone. This is because population size and related impacts change more slowly and ponderously than what is needed to meet the multiple pressing environmental crises we face. As the PNAS study states: The planet’s large, growing and overconsuming human population, especially the increasing affluent component, is rapidly eroding many of the Earth’s natural ecosystems. However, society’s only real policy lever to reduce the human population humanely is to encourage lower per capita fertility. How long might fertility reduction take to make a meaningful impact? ... Because of … demographic momentum, there are no easy ways to change the broad trends of human population size this century. Scientific American quoted the study’s lead author Corey Bradshaw: “I hope this is taken as a wake-up call and a sobering reminder of how long we’ve neglected the population issue.” Yet this is not at all how media chose to interpret - or misinterpret - the study. Typical was a grossly misleading headline for a blog post by
environmental reporter Chris Mooney in one of the nation’s leading newspapers of record: “Stop pretending we can fix the environment by curbing population growth.” The implication of that headline, of course, is that promoting birth control and family planning is pointless, and has no place in the race to save Mother Earth from the excess and excesses of her Prodigal Son (and Daughter). While the article itself was more nuanced, the takeaway for many readers was undoubtedly that population is not an important or legitimate environmental issue, exactly the opposite effect of what the PNAS study authors intended. It’s a prime example of how fraught and sensitive the population issue is. Those of us who deal with population, and the even more hot-button immigration issue, know what it is to have our words pounced on, twisted or taken out of context by those ever ready to smear us and our cause. Another way of expressing what the PNAS authors meant was that long-term human population stabilization and/or reduction is an absolutely necessary - albeit far from a sufficient condition to conserving the biosphere and pursuing long-term environmental sustainability. The right approach to these issues is suggested by a joint effort now being undertaken by the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) and the Worldwatch Institute to both empower women and preserve the environment. PRB and the Institute recently started a joint working group of health, climate and population experts from around the world. This group is preparing a report on how to integrate family planning into
governments’ environmental policies. As Alexander Ochs, director of the Worldwatch Institute’s Climate and Energy Program, says, controlling fertility not only improves maternal and child health and welfare but conserves natural resources as well. In its most recent report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) admitted that a growing global population is one cause of increased greenhouse gas emissions and intensified global warming. The IPCC cited one study estimating 30 percent lower emissions by 2100 if barriers to providing women with birth control could be overcome. Yet in spite of what all too many shallow politicians, environmentalists and reporters seem to realize, climate change is not the only environmental problem of concern, and it is certainly not the only one exacerbated by large and growing human populations. Overpopulation also aggravates soil erosion, paving of farmlands, urban sprawl, water shortages, air and water pollution, overfishing, dead zones in lakes and marine settings, deforestation, disappearing wildlife, increasing extinctions, loss of wildlife habitat and wilderness, traffic congestion, fossil fuel depletion, and the assault on natural beauty because of ever more manmade clutter filling up the landscape. While limiting human population may not ensure a quick fix to any of these, not limiting population ensures certain failure.

Richard Zoglin presents Bob Hope: Westside Family Health Center to hold holiday open house and Entertainer of the Century bazaar, food and clothing Drive “Thanks for the memory.” So went the song most closely associated with beloved comedian Bob Hope. Join organizers as Santa Monica Public Library presents memories of Bob Hope with author Richard Zoglin on Nov. 17, at 7 p.m. in the Main Library’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Auditorium, 601 Santa Monica Blvd. Over the course of his 100 years of life, Bob Hope entertained generations of fans. In film, on television, and most notably on impromptu stages on battlefields all over the world, Hope delighted soldiers and civilians alike with his sly comic stylings and cheerful personality. Richard Zoglin, who spent years researching and writing the exhaustive new biography, “Hope: Entertainer of the Century,” shares some of the many memories of those who knew and worked closely with the iconic star. A book sale and signing follows. This program is free and open to all ages. Seating inside the auditorium is first come, first served. Santa Monica Public Library is wheelchair accessible. For special disabled services, call Library Administration at (310) 458-8606 at least one week prior to event. For more information on this and other public programs, visit www.smpl.org or contact the Santa Monica Public Library at (310) 458-8600.
Westside Family Health Center (WFHC) will hold its 7th Annual Holiday Open House on Nov. 17, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the clinic at 1711 Ocean Park Blvd. This year, the clinic is adding a bazaar for the first time ever. Vendors will be selling unique handmade gifts, such as jewelry, art, perfume, décor and succulents. Vendors are donating at least 20 percent of their sale proceeds to WFHC. Get your holiday shopping done early and help support WFHC. This event will be fun for the whole family with hot cider and yummy fall-themed food. For more information or to RSVP, contact Molly Maher at mmaher@wfhcenter.org or (310) 450-4773 ext 253. “During our annual Holiday Open House we open our doors to the community so that they can meet our health care team and members of our Board of Directors, take a tour of the clinic and learn more about what a community health center does,” said Debra A. Farmer, WFHC’s President/Chief Executive Officer. “It is also a way to say ‘thank you’ to our partners, donors and volunteers for supporting us.”
WFHC’s Holiday Open House also serves as the kick-off event for the health center’s Heart2Heart employee-driven food and clothing drive. Every year through Heart2Heart - now in its 10th year - WFHC helps community partners in need of food and clothing donations for their clients. This year, for the second time, Heart2Heart will benefit St. Joseph Center Food Pantry and Safe Place for Youth (SPY). Food items needed include juice, canned meats and soups, canned fruit and vegetables, peanut butter, pasta, beans and rice. Due to a recent fire, SPY lost much of their clothing supplies, which means they are especially in dire need of hoodies, new socks and underwear and feminine hygiene products. SPY also needs adult-size gently used or new jackets, jeans, t-shirts, and sweatshirts. WFHC’s President/CEO, Debra Farmer and WFHC’s Vice Chair of the Board, Stephanie Negriff, will speak during the short program, along with representatives from SPY and St. Joseph Center. The drive runs from Nov. 17 to Feb. 21. Donations can be brought to Westside Family Health Center at 1711 Ocean Park Boulevard in Santa Monica during normal business hours. This year, we hope to donate one ton of food and 200 bags of clothing to double the amount that we donated last year. To learn more about WFHC, please visit www.wfhcenter.org.

SMRR not involved Editor:
The piece described by Ms. Farrer sounds downright ugly. Santa Monicans for Renters’ Rights did not participate in the piece. I heard that someone had done a nasty piece on Mr. Foster but I never saw it and had not heard that it was done in the name of SMRR. Again, SMRR knew nothing of this piece and did not participate in either its production or distribution. Thank you,

sure we don’t start any fires.” The mother and stepfather of Gabriel Constans, who lives in Santa Cruz, California, are 80 and 86. They’ve hosted the large family for Thanksgiving for more than 40 years at their house in Northern California but are no longer up to the task. So Constans, 60, and his wife decided to rent a large house near the elders for three days as a haven for themselves and other out-of-town loved ones. They’ll throw Thanksgiving there, for 40 people. He and others in the family know it would be too difficult for his parents to watch them take over their kitchen. They wanted to carry on some menu traditions, so Constans’ sister took their frozen cranberry salad with marshmallows out for a test run last year to rave reviews. She’ll make it again this year. And they’ve asked Constans’ stepdad to do what he does best: gravy. Somebody else in the family has already successfully duplicated the family’s favorite stuffing. Covering one of the tables will be his parents’ go-to Thanksgiving cloth of purple and green with tassels and a design of squares. Constans heads into hosting knowing some of the pitfalls. One is not allowing his nephew, who hunts and is in charge of the bird, to use one that he shot himself. “He tried it once and my stepdad said no way. He thought he could catch something from it. He wouldn’t come out of his room for hours, until my nephew promised that he would go to the store and cook a different turkey.” Newbie Annalisa Parent in Colchester, Vermont, is sweating some “what ifs” as she heads into hosting her first Thanksgiving, for 22 people. “Not only is my large French Canadian family gathering, but I’ve also invited my boyfriend’s family to meet mine for the first

time,” she said. One of her biggest stresses is pulling off the tourtiere, a minced meat pie handed down from her great-great grandmother. The meat filling is also used as a stuffing and the men in her family can’t get enough. “If I fail, Memere will probably let me know and then help me make another batch,” Parent said. And that’s as it should be, said Taryn Mohrman, senior editor at Woman’s Day magazine. She agreed that the first year can be challenging all around. “When you’re a parent going to your child’s house for the first time, the thing to remember is that hosting can be overwhelming. People who have done it for years tend to forget how stressful it can be,” she said. But some things aren’t as difficult as they might seem, Mohrman said. Is it really that hard to peel a pile of potatoes and mash some while roasting others, or cook a mass of stuffing and use different mix-ins to please more palates? For elders who want to be a real asset rather than merely kibitz, she suggests offering help in small ways, such as managing RSVPs or putting together a timeline for day of. “That helps the parents feel involved,” Mohrman said. “But don’t be offended if your son or daughter insists they have it covered because they’re probably excited that you get to finally sit back, relax and be a guest for once.” On the big day, torch-passers should stay out of the kitchen unless specifically invited, Mohrman said. “If you’re banished, offer to take coats, make drinks, greet people at the door,” she said. “There’s plenty to do elsewhere.” Torch-takers might want to chew on this: If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t have to be a permanent thing. “Maybe next year it needs to be somewhere else,” Mohrman said. “It’s more about family than the place.”

MONEY FROM PAGE 1 p.m. in the Civic Auditorium East Wing located at 1855 Main St.) and the plan will eventually be heard by the City Council. “We’re looking for public feedback on what is the priority for this money and how has that changed from five years ago and should we focus on other things,” said Housing Manager Barbara Collins. “This is not an insignificant amount of money, it’s $1.3 million each year and we want to make sure we have all the public input.” In addition to the five year consolidated plan, the City files an annual action plan detailing the use of the grant money. According to last year’s report, City Hall’s objectives included: expand housing opportunities for extremely low-income, very lowincome, low-income, and moderate-income households through an increase in the supply of decent, safe, and affordable housing and rental assistance and services to sustain housing for special needs populations; support efforts to help homeless or near-homeless Santa Monica residents secure adequate temporary and permanent housing and receive necessary supportive services; infrastructure improvements for persons with disabilities, seniors, pedestrians and bicyclist; and improving accessibility for persons with disabilities. Specific uses of the money included providing about 25 households with a rental subsidy, repairing or rehabilitating about 20 homes, providing 240 homeless residents with support services, installing adaptive home equipment modifications in 30 homes and construction of four traffic circles. Collins said the money is about more than just housing, it’s supposed to help make the city more accessible. She said construc-

tion of the accessible playground in Ocean Park and the bathrooms on the beach were both made possible by the grant money. While a portion of the money is used to help provide housing options, some is used to make existing housing more stable and/or easier to use for disabled residents. Senior Administrative Analyst Sergio Ramirez said the public meetings would provide an opportunity for residents to learn about the current spending priorities and give their thoughts. While the money has been distributed for years, the amount has steadily shrunk due to cuts at the federal level. As each public commission or committee has a different focus, Ramirez said they expected to hear slightly different priorities for the reduced cash. “We’re going to all the commissions with the presentation to let them take a look at the action plan and we hope each group will focus on their constituency,” he said. Collins said circumstances do change over time but as the city has been receiving the money for many years, much of it is already spoken for in ongoing programs. She said staff certainly wanted to hear if priorities have changed but she warned that drastic shifts could reduce vital services for some residents. “We don’t necessarily anticipate what people will say,” she said. “But we want to start out by saying, this is not a whole new pot of money. This has been funds the city has received for many, many years, and it’s already being utilized to support services in the community. The public input maybe to shift priorities, but by shifting them it may create a gap. Ultimately it will go to council. There will be differences of opinion about what to do and what the priority will be but we hope we see some trends in these meetings.” matt@smdp.com

CULVER CITY: Expo lines in Santa Monica are now connected to the system in Culver City.
EXPO FROM PAGE 1 it opens.” Expo officials say the construction project remains on-schedule to be completed by next year, though many have speculated that it may be ahead of schedule. Outgoing L.A. County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky told the audience of January’s State of the City address that Expo was under budget and ahead of schedule. It could open earlier than projected, he said at the time. The lack of rain during this record-level drought has made things easier for construction teams, Expo officials have acknowledged. A current union dispute surrounding Japanese rail car manufacturer Kinki Sharyo could hinder timely delivery of new cars, Gaby Collins, Exposition Construction Authority government and community relations manager told the Daily Press last month. Metro, not Expo, is the handling that issue.
“Sticking to our schedule and having no trains available would be a big issue for the project,” she said in October. Contractor testing for the line could begin as early as January 2015, Collins said. After construction is complete, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority will conduct three to six months of testing and set an opening date. “We’re pleased to bring these two lines together and take the next step towards finishing Expo Phase 2 and connecting downtown to Santa Monica,” Rick Thorpe, CEO of the Exposition Construction Authority said earlier this week. “We remain focused on completing construction in 2015.” Sections of Colorado Boulevard, and other city streets, have been closed intermittently for months. The worst of the road closures, city officials have said, are likely behind us. Three stations will open in Santa Monica with the terminus station located at Fourth and Colorado. dave@smdp.com

■ Brad Culpepper played defensive tackle for nine NFL seasons and, not surprisingly, applied for disability when he retired, since his medical folder listed 14 MRIs, head and knee trauma and neurological and vision problems -- which resulted in doctors declaring him “89 percent” disabled and the Fairmont Premier insurance company giving him a $175,000 settlement. Fairmont sued recently to get its money back, claiming that Culpepper is, and was, “exquisitely fit,” as evidenced by a September 2013 Tampa Bay Times feature on his gym workouts, and in his having earned a martial-arts Black Belt, and in his participation for 14 days in the grueling TV series “Survivor: Blood vs. Water” in 2013. ■ Angry taxpayers and retail customers sometimes protest their debt by paying the bill with containers of coins (especially pennies), but what if a company did that to a customer? A court had ruled that Adriana’s Insurance Services in Rancho Cucamonga, California, had unjustifiably ejected (and assaulted) 74-year-old Andres Carrasco from its office when he complained about a canceled policy, and ordered Adriana’s to pay him about $21,000. Consequently, in August, the still-irritated company dropped off at least 16 buckets full of coins at the customer’s lawyer’s office.
