Manslaughter charge tossed in boat fire that killed 34

Without the weather cues to mark the seasons, Californians track the passage of time via seasonal Starbucks drinks, custom candy in Target and Shen Yun commercials. While the retailers are pushing full steam ahead into the Spooky Season, political wonks have an intermediary time marked by the start of the endorsement rush. Candidates for local offices are touting endorsements on a daily basis as they prepare for big fundraising pushes in advance of the heavy campaign work and a trio of council candidates are among the first beneficiaries of a significant unionLanaendorsement.Negrete, Armen Melkonians and Caroline Torosis were endorsed by Santa Monica firefighters this week. “Santa Monica is navigating the early stages of its economic and cultural recovery. These complex challenges stand before us with no simple and immediate solutions” said Local 1109 President Dom Bei. “Public safety and homelessness remain at the top of Santa Monica’s greatest concerns and they are shared by our residents, businesses, workforce and visitors alike.”

A Los Angeles federal judge threw out an indictment Friday charging a dive boat captain with manslaughter in the deaths of 34 people in a 2019 fire aboard a vessel anchored off the Southern California coast. The ruling came on the third anniversary of one of the deadliest maritime disasters in recent U.S. history as the Conception went down in flames Sept. 2, 2019, near an island off the coast of Santa Barbara. All 33 passengers and a crew member who were trapped in a bunk room below deck died.

Council candidates start picking-up endorsements

Captain Jerry Boylan, 68, failed to follow safety rules, federal prosecutors said. He was accused of “misconduct, negligence and inattention” by failing to train his crew, conduct fire drills and have a roving night watchman on the boat when the fire ignited. But the indictment failed to specify that Boylan acted with gross negligence, which U.S. District Judge George Wu said was a required element to prove the crime of seaman’s manslaughter and must

Of particular concern to Rink is local sport fishermen who fish off the Santa Monica Pier and other near-shore fishing spots. Since fish you catch yourself isn’t tested for toxins, it’s important to be especially careful during heatwaves to avoid fishing in water that appears cloudy or might be near a bloom to avoid ingesting toxins in the fish.

While Rink said she couldn’t speculate whether or not the six-to-eight-foot shark spotted off Manhattan Beach last weekend was there due to the increased water temperatures, she confirmed that sharks are among species that breed in warm water.

Grace Inez Adams BEACH: Heat brings people to the beach but it can also cause problems for the aquatic ecosystem.

In Santa Monica, heatwaves are often synonymous with traffic and tourists, but as scientists begin seeing the real-time effects of climate change along the California coast, periods of abnormally high heat also prove insight into changing ocean dynamics that could become the “new normal” if rising temperature trends continue.

“Algae sits on the surface of the water, so that’s where you get these bigger blooms. You have more sunshine and more heat, so it can replicate faster,” Rink said. “Warming up the upper layers also prevents mixing of the water because it’s colder water that sinks. So, you’re going to have less mixing of the ocean, which then causes, again, more blooms and more issues with potentially harmful toxins in the water.”Those issues are currently on display farther north along the coast in the Bay Area. On Thursday afternoon, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife tweeted reports of data from what it called “citizen scientists” reporting about 10,000 yellowfin goby deaths, along with hundreds of striped bass and white sturgeon, due to an algal bloom in the San Francisco Bay — although the department acknowledged it believed current numbers could be an undercount of trueSanmortality.Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board Executive Officer Eileen White told the Associated Press on Wednesday that a triple-digit heat wave forecast for the holiday weekend may help the Bay Area’s die-off grow even more. In San Francisco’s South Bay, concentrations of chlorophyll — an indicator of algae density —measured on Aug. 10 were the highest observed in more than 40 years, White told the AP. Blooms are also self-perpetuating, according to data from the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA: “Algal blooms absorb sunlight, making water even warmer and promoting more blooms.” Here in Southern California, Rink said algal blooms have sickened sea lions that have been found stranded at increased rates in recent “Actually,weeks.I just heard about increased strandings and issues with sea lions in Southern California, along the coast,” Rink said. “The algae produces this toxin that is eaten by certain species of fish that then the lions eat, and it is a neurotoxin that affects their brain activity and behaviors and can cause a lot of issues with those specific mammals. Not to mention, it’s not good for humans to consume any of the marine life that takes in this toxin.”

Heat wave alters the balance for local ocean wildlife

When we have these warming events, and we see the effects of them, it can be a sobering reminder that if the warming effects continue to happen more frequently, or over longer periods, because of climate change, it is really going to drastically affect all the different trophic levels of life and animals within our ocean — Laura Rink

“A lot of species breed in warm waters, especially elasmobranchs — sharks and rays,” Rink said. “So, as our waters warm up further along our coasts, we’re going to start seeing breeding grounds move as well, which will populate the species in areas that are normally not in or normally not in as high of numbers. So, it could very much change the dynamics and encounters with species like sharks.”

“A couple years ago, we had a big migration of pelagic red crabs that came up the coast,” Rink said. “They are typically a much more southern, Baja California species, and they came all the way up into our waters, which is unusual. The same thing happened for warm water species like seahorses, that come up. So you start seeing these different migrations that we don’t normally see.”

Aside from algal blooms, higher water temperatures can damage kelp forests (which Rink called “the rainforests of the ocean”) and cause migration patterns for some species to shift — some heading into the Santa Monica area from the south and others moving up north to beat the heat.

Speaking to the Daily Press on Thursday, Heal the Bay Associate Director of Operations Laura Rink said heatwaves work like a window into what the future could hold for marine species in the Santa Monica area. “When we have these warming events, and we see the effects of them, it can be a sobering reminder that if the warming effects continue to happen more frequently, or over longer periods, because of climate change, it is really going to drastically affect all the different trophic levels of life and animals within our ocean,” Rink said. “So, it should be a reminder that if humans don’t make changes that it’s just going to continue happening and we can have concerns for both human and animal health.”Rink, who holds a degree in aquatic biology, has worked in aquariums for about 15 years. Currently, she oversees exhibit operations and care for all the animals at the Heal the Bay Aquarium, a nonprofit science center located beneath the Santa Monica Pier. Although ocean water temperatures are by and large not as volatile as air temperatures, heatwaves do have a direct effect on the temperature of the sea, especially the water temperature near the surface, where algae lives.“Heat … affects tiny organisms first,” Rink said, “and then works its way through different trophic levels in our ecosystems.” That means, during times of especially high water temperature, algae is among the first species to react, often creating algal blooms. Although Rink was quick to point out that not all algal blooms are harmful, some release toxins that travel up the food chain and can affect numerous species including humans.

Anthony Portantino, who sponsored the bill, said backers were sure they had the necessary votes until retiring Assemblyman Patrick O’Donnell, a fellow Democrat, defected and voted against it. “That was the killer,” Portantino told The Associated Press over the phone as he waited to board a flight home to Southern California. “I think we had 54 votes — right up until one wentO’Donnellsouth.” responded that Portantino was to blame. He said the senator’s staff “couldn’t answer basic questions about the bill.” “I’m not going to pass something, even on my last day in the Legislature, that may not be constitutional,” O’Donnell said. O’Donnell was one of seven Democrats who joined Republicans in either voting against the bill or withholding their votes. They included Adam Gray and Rudy Salas, both of whom are running for Congress in swing Central Valley districts where a vote for gun control could hurt them.

The affiliated gun control advocacy groups Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action, both part of Everytown for Gun Safety, asked Newsom to call lawmakers back for a special legislative session to pass the law. But the governor’s office said a similar bill should be the next Legislature’s “first order of business” and Newsom “looks forward to signing an urgency measure as soon as possible.”Portantino said he plans to bring the bill back when a new Legislature is sworn in.

Gun-control advocates could have had another victory in their very successful California legislative session that ended Thursday if not for a risky move supported by Gov. Gavin Newsom that backfired on a bill to impose new limits on carrying concealed weapons after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down old rules. The Legislature passed more than a dozen significant bills on gun limits during the session. But the concealed weapons measure failed Thursday after Newsom, Attorney General Rob Bonta and the bill’s other Democratic backers pushed for a two-thirds supermajority required so the new rules could take effect this month, instead of opting for the simple majority that would have made the new law effective in January. The measure fell just one vote short of the 54 it needed in the 80-member Assembly. And by the time the bill’s backers realized they were short, legislative safeguards enacted by voters meant it was too late to pass the bill with the 41 “aye” votes that were easily in hand.Sen.

California gun bill fails on tactical error in Legislature

“To come up one vote short is beyond frustrating and to know that one Assemblymember purposely reversed his vote specifically to kill this important public safety measure is reprehensible,” he said in

The failure was a rare defeat for Newsom on gun control, an issue on which he has positioned himself as a national leader as he is being increasingly eyed as a potential presidential candidate. During the year he called for and signed a variety of bills, including measures targeting untraceable “ghost guns,” the marketing of firearms to children and allowing people to bring lawsuits over gun violence. That legislation was patterned on a Texas anti-abortion law. Bonta, who was appointed attorney general by Newsom, was personally working the concealed weapons bill in the Capitol until the end, while Newsom was involved “significantly” in pushing for its passage, Portantino said. “This was a priority for the governor, a priority for the AG and a priority for me, and all of us were working it throughout the night,” Portantino said. Bonta said in a statement that he is determined “to push this through” the next Legislature. He and Newsom did not respond to questions about the tactical decision to seek the supermajority, and the governor’s office blamed “a small handful (of) Democrats (who) refused to cast a vote at all.” When the Supreme Court issued what Newsom termed a “shameful” decision overturning New York’s concealed carry law and those in other states including California, he and Bonta promised swift action. But New York and other states have been able to act moreWithquickly.the bill dead for now, attorney Chuck Michel, president of the California Rifle and Pistol Association, said the organization “is notifying local jurisdictions of their constitutional obligations to process applications quickly. We anticipate some stonewalling and game playing from certain localities hostile to gun ownership. We will see those holdouts in court.”

The Redmond, Washington, tech giant has said the gaming acquisitions will help beef up its Xbox Game Pass game subscription service and its mobile offerings, particularly from Activision Blizzard’s King division, which makes Candy Crush. Dutch game developer Rami Ismail said Microsoft’s subscription-based service has thus far been a positive for smaller game studios trying to get their content to users. But he’s unsure about the long-term impact of the“Xboxmerger.Game Pass as a product has been really good in getting interesting, creative games funded that might not have the normal market reach to be successful,” Ismail said. “On the flip side, as power consolidates, there is less of an incentive to do anything like that.” Microsoft rivals are also consolidating. Sony in July closed on a $3.6 billion deal to buy Bungie Inc., maker of the popular game franchise Destiny and the original developer of Xbox-owned Halo. Take-Two Interactive, maker of Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, in May completed a $12.7 billion deal to acquire mobile gaming company Zynga, maker of FarmVille and Words With Friends.

Microsoft’s plan to buy Santa Monica based video game giant Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion could have major effects on the gaming industry, transforming the Xbox maker into something like a Netflix for video games by giving it control of many more popular titles. But to get to the next level, Microsoft must first survive a barrage of government inquiries from New Zealand to Brazil, and from U.S. regulators emboldened by President Joe Biden to strengthen their enforcement of antitrust laws. In the United Kingdom, regulators on Thursday threatened to escalate their investigation unless both companies come up with proposals within five days to ease competition concerns. More than seven months after Microsoft announced the deal, only Saudi Arabia has approved it. “A growing number of countries are subjecting major global transactions to deeper scrutiny,” said William Kovacic, a former chairman of the five-member U.S. Federal Trade Commission. “Many of the jurisdictions that are exercising that scrutiny are significant economies and can’t be brushed off.” Microsoft has faced antitrust scrutiny before, mostly notably more than two decades ago when a federal judge ordered its breakup following the company’s anticompetitive actions related to its dominant Windows software. That verdict was overturned on appeal, although the court imposed other, less drastic, penalties on the company. In recent years, however, Microsoft has largely escaped the more intense regulatory backlash its Big Tech rivals such as Amazon, Google and Facebook’s parent company Meta have endured. But the sheer size of the Activision Blizzard merger has drawn global attention.Theall-cash deal is set to be the largest in the history of the tech industry. It would give Microsoft, maker of the Xbox console and gaming system, control of popular game franchises such as Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and Candy Crush. There’s also a growing sense that past review of Big Tech mergers was too lax — such as when Facebook bought Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014.“Collectively, that means that the kinds of concessions you’re going to have to make become more difficult,” Kovacic said.

Microsoft’s president, Brad Smith, has said the company committed to Sony to make Activision games like Call of Duty “available on PlayStation beyond the existing agreement and into the future” — although many are skeptical about how long those promises would last if not set into regulatory consent decrees.Onthe other hand, Microsoft also has a much better reputation in Washington than it did in 2000. It is “seen as more reasonable and sensible” on issues such as data privacy, KovacicMicrosoftsaid. has also been working to win over skeptics in the U.S., starting with a labor union that’s been trying to organize Activision Blizzard employees. Democratic lawmakers have also expressed concern about allegations of Activision’s toxic workplace culture for women, which led to employee walkouts last year as well as discrimination lawsuits brought by California and federal civil rights enforcers.

In March, the Communications Workers of America had issued a call seeking tougher oversight of the deal from the U.S. Department of Justice, the FTC and state attorneys general. But a June 30 letter from the union to the FTC said it had switched to supporting the deal after Microsoft agreed “to ensure the workers of Activision Blizzard have a clear path to collectiveGamingbargaining.”represents a growing portion of Microsoft’s business, despite the company’s efforts to portray itself and Activision Blizzard as “small players in a highly fragmented publishing space,” per a document filed with New Zealand’s Commerce Commission. In 2021, Microsoft spent $7.5 billion to acquire ZeniMax Media, the parent company of video game publisher Bethesda Softworks, which is behind popular video games The Elder Scrolls, Doom and Fallout. Microsoft’s properties also include the hit game Minecraft after it bought Swedish game studio Mojang for $2.5 billion in 2014.

The possibility of Microsoft gaining control of Call of Duty has been particularly worrisome to Sony, maker of the PlayStation console that competes with Microsoft’s Xbox. In a letter to Brazilian regulators, Sony emphasized Call of Duty as an “essential” game — a blockbuster so popular and ingrained that it would be impossible for a competitor to develop a rival product even if they had the budget to do so.

The U.K. watchdog’s preliminary inquiry raised similar worries. It said Microsoft’s control of popular Activision Blizzard games raised concerns that the deal would hurt rivals in multi-game subscription services and the cloud gaming market. One solution could be a settlement in which Microsoft agrees to ensure that consolemaking rivals such as Sony or Nintendo won’t be cut off from popular Activision Blizzard games. Microsoft has already publicly signaled its openness to that concept.

The other major elements of Newsom’s plan are Increaseto: reuse of urban wastewater, a relatively uncontroversial idea that could add a substantial 1.8 million acre-feet to California’s annual water supply; Conserve another 500,000 acre-feet by persuading city dwellers to rip out lawns, fix leaks and take shorter showers; Double the supply of desalinated ocean water and salty groundwater by adding capacity for another 84,000 acre-feet a year. But despite examples of large-scale desalination working all over the world, environmentalist opposition guarantees that desalination will never add more than a small fraction of the water California needs.Newsom’s call for Californians to move away from a scarcity mindset is a welcome new message. If he can move all these projects forward, it will be a major accomplishment.

So conversation this state

much of the water

At first glance, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new water supply strategy might suggest the projects he is proposing will create about 7 million acre-feet of new water, but a closer reading shows that’s not quite true. If every proposed storage facility is built, and the proposed water recycling and desalination projects are also eventually completed, Newsom’s water supply strategy will add about half that much. Even so, his plan is timely and much needed, but making it happen will require unprecedented compromises from California’s powerful environmentalist lobby.Over the past decade, total water diversions for cities, farms and to maintain ecosystems totaled 75 million acre-feet per year, according to the California Department of Water Resources. Such diversions cannot continue at this volume without new water, because the worsening droughts have imperiled every major source — groundwater, water imported from the Colorado River, and water stored in reservoirs.“Somuch of the water conversation in this state has been about conservation, a scarcity mindset,” Newsom said as he introduced the plan on Aug. 11. “That’s a relatively small component of the overall strategy we are introducing here today. Now, we are focusing on creating more water.”The biggest part of Newsom’s strategy is capture. He has proposed to “expand storage above and below ground.” This accounts for 4 million of the 7 million acrefoot target, but that figure is misleading because it refers to storage capacity rather than annual yield. The “yield” of reservoirs and aquifers is, at best, only about onethird of Reservoirscapacity. are never completely emptied, and — especially in the case of in-stream reservoirs — they are rarely filled to capacity. As for below-ground storage, aquifers can only fill slowly, through large, spreading basins that capture floodwater in rural areas or via percolation ponds in urban areas. This means water can only be withdrawn at the rate at which water can be injected into them. These storage projects, therefore, are more likely to add around 1.5 million acrefeet of new water a year – not 4 million acre-feet.Newsom’s plan commits to finally building the storage projects approved by voters in 2014. The biggest part of that plan — the proposed Sites Reservoir in Colusa County — has endured relentless attacks by environmentalists. In an attempt to compromise with them, the design has already been downsized from 2 million acre-feet of capacity to 1.5 million acre-feet. Opposition to Sites is typical. Environmentalists have consistently opposed new reservoirs in California, even off-stream reservoirs that don’t block the natural flow of a river, as well as expansions of existing reservoirs. They have litigated most proposals to a standstill. Earlier this year, they also prevented construction of a large-scale desalination plant in Southern California.Newsom, to his credit, made mention of this, expressing exasperation that environmental regulations have prevented as many good projects from getting built as bad ones. “The time to get these dam projects completed is ridiculous. Permits take years. One of the principles of this plan is to change our permitting, address the regulatory thickets to fast-track these projects, and move things forward.”

“Continuing to go forward with this kind of heavy-handed approach is simply bringing the day closer when those million acres of agriculture are fallowed, and literally thousands upon thousands of farm workers will be unemployed,” Assemblymember Jim Patterson, a Republican from Fresno, said in May. “The death knell of agriculture is but a few more votes like this away.” Assemblymember Adam Gray, a Democrat from Merced, said the bill would have “turned the process upside down and imposed a sweeping proclamation from Sacramento with zero consideration for local conditions.”

“Once again we saw a bill written and advocated for by people who aren’t from the Valley who think know what’s best for us,” he said in a statement Thursday.Business and agricultural groups, including the California Chamber of Commerce and the California Farm Bureau Federation, opposed the bill, saying it would interfere with landowners’ rights to use groundwater and spur lawsuits over permitting decisions.Daniel Merkley, water resources director with the California Farm Bureau Federation, called the bill “premature” and “an overreach.”Hesaid it could interfere with “what we’re trying to accomplish with our groundwater over the next number of years” and that it failed to address the diversity of California’s groundwater basins.“Some (basins) are in critical overdraft, some are being managed sustainably already. This bill created a uniform envelope over all of them,” he said. Bennett said agriculture and business groups had rallied hard against the bill. But he attributed its ultimate death to amendments inserted by the Senate appropriations committee that weakened its provisions compared to an executive order that Newsom issued earlier this year. The amendments cut a requirement for permit applicants to show their wells would not increase land subsidence. Appropriations chair Anthony Portantino, a Democratic state senator from Glendale, did not respond to a request for Newsom’scomment.order— issued after a recorddry start to the year — temporarily bars local governments from issuing permits for wells deemed potentially harmful to nearby wells or that could cause subsidence that damages structures.“Ifthat wouldn’t have happened, if we would have kept it as strong as the executive order, I’m confident the bill would be sitting on

California lawmakers punted on a proposal to rein in agricultural groundwater pumping as drought continues to grip California and more than a thousand domestic wells have run dry. A bill by Assemblymember Steve Bennett, a Democrat from Santa Barbara, would have added hurdles to obtain a permit to drill an agricultural well. Though the bill cleared the Senate on Monday, Bennett elected to not bring it up for a final vote in the Assembly before the Legislative session timed out Wednesday night. He said California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office told him the bill was no longer viable because of changes made. During one of the driest years in recent history, California legislators did not pass any new laws that would boost the water supply or protect groundwater from overpumping, although funds were included in the budget for unlessinwells6,750ofyearstheSacramentoassemblymemberformerRogertheduringwasManagementSustainablethemanagementCalifornia’sbeenrecycling.programsmanagementgroundwaterandlikewaterThebillwouldhavethebiggestchangetogroundwatersincestate’slandmarkGroundwaterActenactedin2014,theheightoflastdrought,saidDickinson,aDemocraticfromandoneofauthors.Overthepastfive—wellafterpassagetheact—morethannewirrigationhavebeendrilled.“Wecannotsucceedreachingsustainabilitywearejudicious about continuing to allow well drilling,” said Dickinson, policy director for CivicWell, a nonprofit group promoting sustainable local policies.

If Bennett’s proposal had been approved, local groundwater management agencies, largely in the Central Valley, would have been required to weigh in on whether a new, enlarged or reactivated well would harm the local aquifer before a local government can grant a permit. The applicant also would have had to submit a study by an engineer or geologist confirming that the well is unlikely to interfere with nearby wells. The bill is aimed at agricultural wells. Household wells pumping less than two acrefeet a year and public water system wells are excluded.Thebill received little public discussion on the Senate floor before passing on Monday. But it underwent a heated discussion in the Assembly months before, with members from the Central Valley speaking in opposition.

Monday Closed Tuesday - Friday 8am-2pm Saturday & Sunday 8am-3pm us on the governor’s desk and he would be signing it,” Bennett said. “But instead, we have to start all over again next year.” Alex Stack, a spokesperson for Newsom, did not answer a question about what the governor’s office told Bennett about the bill. “The (executive order) is important for conservation and sustainability purposes during this period of extreme and extended drought, and we will work with the Legislature and state agencies on any changes in law that might be helpful to putting the state on a path to navigating our hotter, drier future,” Stack said.More than 97% of the state is experiencing severe drought, and nearly 1,040 wells have run dry so far this year. The last time drought parched the state, lawmakers passed the groundwater law as agricultural overpumping spurred a rash of well outages in local communities.

Local groundwater agencies in critically overdrafted basins, mostly in the San Joaquin Valley, the Central Coast and desert regions, are required to dial back the depletion and stop the consequences from worsening by 2040. Those in less depleted basins have until 2042. But groundwater levels are still declining, land subsidence continues and more wells were drilled in the 2021 water year than in any of the previous five years, a state said.

Bennett’s bill aimed to address a major groundwater disconnect between the local governments that grant drilling permits, and the local groundwater agencies tasked with managing aquifers. According to a bill analysis by an Assembly consultant, granting a well permit is often considered a “ministerial action” with “little or no personal judgment by the public official as to the wisdom or manner of carrying out the project.” Dickinson said he had hoped when drafting the 2014 law that groundwater agencies and local governments would coordinate. “What we still see is both a failure because of, to a certain extent, the natural inertia of government on the one hand, and the grudging implementation of (the Act), on the other hand,” Dickinson said.

ApartmentMid-City fire on 17th Street On Thursday Sept. 1, at 9:48 p.m. Santa Monica Firefighters received multiple 9-1-1 calls reporting a structure fire in the 1400 block of 17th Street in the Mid-City neighborhood of Santa Monica. Upon arrival, Firefighters found a well-developed fire within one apartment unit and began an aggressive suppression effort and a rapid search for any potentially trapped occupants. Fortunately, all residents were able evacuate and there were no reported injuries. Firefighters extinguished the blaze quickly which kept the fire from spreading to adjacent apartments. Significant damage occurred to one apartment unit with only minor smoke damage to the unit above, forcing the displacement of two residents. Santa Monica Fire was assisted by Santa Monica Police, Santa Monica Building & Safety, and McCormick Ambulance. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. PATRICK

Bennett said he expects a run on permit applications if Newsom’s executive order expires before a bill is in place. “I’m really disappointed. And I’m very concerned that if something happens to the executive order, we will have a land rush on well permits,” he said. “But I’m not discouraged. We learned and we’re going to redouble our efforts.”

Environmental and environmental justice groups supported the bill, including the Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club California and Community Water Center because groundwater depletion threatens drinking water supplies.

Name Change be listed in the indictment. Prosecutors will seek approval from the Department of Justice to appeal the ruling, said Thom Mrozek, a spokesperson for the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles. They can also seek a new indictment alleging gross negligence. Boylan and four other crew members, who had all been sleeping on an upper deck, escaped from the burning boat after the captain made a panicked mayday call. Surviving crew members said the blaze prevented them from trying to reach those trapped in the bunk room. Flames blocked a stairwell and a small hatch that were the only exits from below deck, officials said. All 34 perished from smoke inhalation. The ruling is the second recent blow to prosecutors in the case. Boylan originally was indicted on 34 counts of seaman’s manslaughter with each carrying a possible prison term of 10 years if he was convicted. Defense lawyers sought to dismiss those charges because they argued the deaths were all the result of a single incident and were not separate crimes. Before that issue could be argued in court, prosecutors got a superseding indictment in July charging Boylan only with one count of seaman’s manslaughter that alleged his negligence caused all 34 deaths. If convicted, he would have faced a maximum of 10 years in prison.Thedefense also argued that the singlecount indictment should be thrown out because it did not allege Boylan acted with gross negligence, which they said was a required element of the crime. Federal prosecutors countered that under the pre-Civil War statute, designed to hold steamboat captains and crew responsible for maritime disasters, they only needed to show Boylan acted with simple negligence, a unique standard for a Prosecutorsfelony.cited the language of the statute that says captains and other boat employees can face up to 10 years in prison for “misconduct, negligence, or inattention to his duties on such vessel the life of any person is destroyed.”Wusaid the case law on seaman’s manslaughter was inconsistent in appellate courts. Only a New Orleans appeals court had upheld the requirement that only simple negligence needed to be proven to win a conviction.RobertWeisberg, a criminal law professor at Stanford University, blamed Congress in part for writing the law in an “ad hoc and inconsistent” manner. The judge’s ruling was sensible for relying on other appellate opinions that found gross negligence was a required element for the similar crime of involuntary manslaughter cases, Weisberg said. California and many other state courts also require proof of gross negligence for involuntary manslaughter.

“Defendant has presented persuasive reasons for why the statute should be read to require gross negligence as an element necessary for conviction (and indictment), and the government’s reasons to the contrary do not convince the court otherwise,” Wu wrote.Asa homicide case with a possible 10-year sentence, Wu noted that the Supreme Court has been reluctant to allow prosecutors to show negligence instead of the more difficult standard of showing a defendant acted with criminalFederalintent.safety investigators blamed the owners of the vessel, Truth Aquatics Inc., for a lack of oversight, though they have not been charged with a crime.

The difference between the two types of negligence is often viewed as whether someone should be slapped with civil damages or criminally punished for their behavior.

BOAT FROM PAGE 1

Simple negligence would be if someone caused harm without ever considering the risks they took. It would be gross negligence if they considered the possible consequences but acted anyway. Gross negligence often incorporates an element of recklessness.

OBITUARIES

SMDP STAFF a statement. “California is less safe today because of that action and I am committed to bringing this bill back on December 5th when the chief obstructionist won’t be here to block Whileit.”Portantino can introduce the bill or a revision soon after the November election, lawmakers won’t go back to work in earnest until January. And the new bill will have to go through the usual legislative process, surviving multiple committees and both legislative chambers before it could go to Newsom for his signature. Even if supporters try again for supermajorities, “it’s going to be a several month effort, which is why it’s so disappointing that we didn’t get it done last night,” Portantino said.

On the afternoon of August 27, 2022, Mary Margaret (Rogers) Hays, age 89, passed away with her family by her side due to a long illness. Mary Hays was born on September 9, 1932, and was raised in Michigan. She was the first child of Albert and Mabel Rogers. Mary went to nursing school right after high school to become a registered nurse

She had a deep love of family and her beloved Santa Monica community where she lived in the same house in Santa Monica for over 58 years. Her dedication to her job at Santa Monica Hospital as a registered nurse made her well known throughout the community and when she would go into town most people knew her and thanked her for caring for their loved ones over the years.

After becoming a registered nurse, Mary had the California dream, packed up all she owned and drove all the way from Michigan to California by herself in an old car to make that dream happen! She lived in an apartment above a business of what is known as the 3rd Street Promenade with some friends she knew back in Michigan who also shared her dream. She first worked as a nurse at the UCLA campus in Los Angeles, and then worked at the local Santa Monica Hospital for the remainder of her career. She received an award in the 1980’s for being in charge of their AIDS wing at Santa Monica Hospital, and was a very dedicated nurse for more than 40 years retiring in 2000.Shemet her husband, Donald F. Hays at St. Monica Catholic church, in the singles group called “The Damian Club” and they were married at the church on November 14, 1959. Their daughters both attended St. Monica Catholic School and were also married there, and Mary was a dedicated volunteer at St Monica’s, the favorite Girl Scout leader, and was always seen on hot lunch days, Pioneer Days and their annual Ice Cream Socials. Mary and Don kept in touch throughout their lives with all of their lifelong friends in Santa Monica. They also attended the reunions of “The Damian Club” until her husband’s death.

Associated Press Writer Adam Beam contributed to this story.

About a third of the Legislature will be new when lawmakers next convene, and Portantino said he will wait to gauge intervening court decisions and the new membership before deciding if he needs to change his bill. If there still aren’t enough votes, he said, “you can always go back to a simple majority.” If such a bill passes it would take effect in 2024.

Mary and Don were very well known in the Santa Monica community and remember their town as being called, “A sleepy little town.” Mary continued to be very active with the women’s group at St. Monica Church, and did her part to contribute to their boutique which all proceeds went to support the church. She also volunteered preparing food at the local homeless shelter in Santa Monica for years, until she was unable to do so due to her health.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 3) HOROSCOPES PUZZLES

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s so much pedantry and minutiae to deal with that the very idea of creating an enjoyable experience seems far-fetched. Your own delight is not too much to ask for. Make it a priority.TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The goal of today’s exercise is to achieve results through collaboration. You will interview, observe, interpret, negotiate, compromise and agree. By working together, you’ll accomplish what neither of you could do on your own.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When people are wondering what you’re going to say next, you’re in a good position. You have their attention and that’s a moment to take advantage of. If you have further surprises, intrigues and delights, you’ll be golden.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll enter a foreign realm where you don’t know particulars of the language, what the signs point to or how to use the tools. A guide can help, but what helps the most is your patient determination to take it one step at a time.

You’ll produce the spark that lights a fire in people. And your warmth makes people feel seen and important. Many connections will come together, and you’ll execute a grand plan. You’ll surf a sea change at work and love where you land. Getting a lump sum all at once allows you a splurge you’ve wanted for years. Gemini and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 17, 3, 38, 15 and 6.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will remember what you learn slowly. Don’t stress over large undertakings. Take them in small chunks so they cannot overwhelm you. Take regular breaks too. When you put the work down, the learning seeps in.

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S SUDOKU TO CROSSWORD Sudoku Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each num ber can appear only once in each row, col umn, and 3x3 block. Use logic and pro cess of elimination to solve the puzzle.

13LABOR DAY EDITION, SEPTEMBER 3 - SEPTEMBER 5, 2022

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re trying to accomplish something that requires you to think harder and feel deeper. It will help you to clear space and time so you can really get lost in the subject without the shallow distractions at the surface of life.

SOLUTIONS

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People agitate you. It’s nothing personal. You could even think of it as an opportunity to rise to the occasion. It’s like they are whipping up a kind of light goodness in you. You become like a fluffy meringue on the lemon pie of life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What goes disguised as a complex and nuanced problem is actually quite simple. It boils down to having the guts to do what falls in line with your own values, regardless of the opinion of others.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Emotions are not to be overcome so much as accepted. Feelings arise uninvited but if you reject them, they won’t leave. So let them in and decide what to do about it. You always have the option to do nothing at all.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are some things you don’t have to work at. You love the subject and when engaged in its study or practice you radiate joy, as though this is what you were made for. Do what it takes to get more of this in your world.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The move only feels risky when it’s new. When you take the same chance repeatedly, eventually you get comfortable with what was once frightening to you. This is what’s happening now. You’re gaining skill and courage.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Most people deal with noise by making more noise. To be heard over the cacophony one must be louder than it, right? You’ll try something else — a form of communication that speaks beyond what sound waves can carry.
