Brave Actions by Bystanders: Four Suspects Apprehended After Robbery and Pursuit in Santa Monica Citizens and Law Enforcement Team Up to Bring Culprits to Justice
On Halloween night, Tuesday, October 31, 2023, around 9:50 p.m., Santa Monica Police Department officers received a report regarding an assault on the 1200 block of Lincoln Boulevard. Upon arrival at the scene, officers discovered a 79-yearold female resident of Santa Monica who had been beaten, and her multiple injuries included a blow to the head. The elderly woman had been robbed by four males traveling in a Kia sedan. After threatening and physically assaulting the woman, the suspects stole her purse. An observant witness gave law enforcement a detailed description of the vehicle and its license plate. Subsequently, it was revealed that the Kia had been reported as stolen from Long Beach. Additional police units, in response
to the incident, encountered the suspect vehicle driving recklessly on the south side of the city and initiated a traffic stop. However, the vehicle refused to comply with the authorities’ instructions. The ensuing pursuit came to a dramatic end at the intersection of 11th and Wilshire, where the driver of the suspect vehicle lost control and collided with a pickup truck. Two of the suspects were swiftly apprehended and taken into custody. Meanwhile, the third suspect was found hiding in a carport adjacent to a nearby alley and was apprehended without any resistance. As for the fourth suspect, he forcibly entered an occupied apartment in the 1200 block of 11th Street. The courageous resident managed to evict the intruder from the apartment. The fourth suspect was later discovered on the rooftop of the building with the assistance of an LAPD helicopter and was subsequently taken into custody. Officers located what might the weapon used to commit the crime near the scene of the accident. The elderly woman was immediately transported to a local hospital for necessary
medical treatment, while the occupants of the pickup truck, struck by the suspect vehicle, fortunately escaped serious injuries. All four suspects were subsequently booked into the Santa Monica Jail on multiple felony charges. Their identities are as follows: • Kejon Stevenson (DOB: 03/03/1999) of Los Angeles. • Jacob Pugh (DOB: 04/28/2004) – Homeless.
• Juvenile #1 (17 years old) of Los Angeles. • Juvenile #2 (17 years old) of Los Angeles. Individuals with any information related to this incident are strongly encouraged to reach out to Detective Tavera at Hector.Tavera@santamonica. gov, Detective Sergeant Gradle at Ryan.Gradle@santamonica.gov, or the Watch Commander (available 24 hours) at 310-458-8427.
While Rents Subside Across U.S., Santa Monica Sees Increases Local Rents Also Saw a Slower Pace of Growth YearOver-Year By Zach Armstrong
Santa Monica was not a part of the nationwide trend of declining rents last month, as the median price for a onebedroom apartment within the oceanside city saw a 1.2% increase during October, according to research from Apartment List. The city’s median price for a onebedroom apartment now stands at $2,800, while that for a two-bedroom stands at $2,601. Comparatively, rents went down

.5% last month in the city of Los Angeles, whose median for a one-bed now stands at $1,633 while that of a two-bed is $2,157, making it the 21st most expensive large city in the country, according to the report. Across the U.S., rents saw an average .7% decline. Local rents have also shown a slower pace of growth year-over-year, with Santa Monica’s rent growth over the last 12
months standing at 0.4 % compared to 1.3% a year ago. In the Los Angeles metropolitan area, other areas that saw an increase in median rents include Aliso Viejo (1.3%), Burbank (2.5%), Irvine (0.1%), Rancho Santa Margarita (0.3%) and Santa Clarita (0.5%).

AMPTP’s Latest Contract Offer’s AI Clause Is a Sticking Point For Actors Upcoming TV Season At Risk After Alleged “Last, Best & Final” Offer
While there had been some rumors that the SAG-AFTRA strike might be soon resolved, it seems that the AI issue is the sticking point in the ongoing contract negotiations with the AMPTP. With the cutoff for the next television season coming soon, without an offer from the studios that is acceptable to the union, that season may not happen. The SAG-AFTRA social media account tweeted this message from its official account on behalf of the SAG-AFTRA Negotiating Team: “This morning, our negotiators formally responded to the AMPTP’s “Last, Best & Final” offer. Please know every member of our TV/Theatrical Negotiating Committee is determined to secure the right deal and thereby bring this strike to an end responsibly. There are several essential items on which we still do not have an agreement, including AI. We will keep you informed as events unfold. In solidarity and gratitude, Your TV/Theatrical Negotiating Committee.” According to the Hollywood Reporter, part of the contract that SAG-AFTRA objects to is the AI clause in the allegedly “Last, Best, & Final offer” is one that would allow The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers to create AI scans of
actors who are part of the Schedule F group of performers, or union members who make more than series regulars. The cutoff is those actors who make $32,000 per episode of a television series or $60,000 per film. Actors would be paid for the scan, but there is no language that would give performers ongoing compensation for the re-use of the scans and would allow the studios to use scans of dead actors without permission from either their heirs, estate or the union. David Slack, writer for TV and film, WGA member, and producer, tweeted, “The AMPTP’s “last best final” proposal would allow them to body scan performers making *more than minimum* in TV and features. Performers would get paid once. But studios would be allowed to profit off their AI likenesses without their approval forever — even after they’re dead.” Slack also points out that this AI clause would have a chilling effect on the entire industry and other types of entertainment industry workers, “But it’s important to note that the AI protections SAG-AFTRA is fighting for won’t just protect their members. If all these performers were scanned once and then never hired again, that would eliminate thousands of jobs across our industry.” While the SAG-AFTRA Negotiating Team didn’t give a complete answer, it seems highly unlikely that they would give in on this point. Much like the threat of AI to writers, it is an existential threat to the craft of acting and likely to the entire entertainment industry. What SAGAFTRA’s next move is not clear, but they have been urging their members to “flood the picket lines.”

Santa Monica High School Club Turned Teen Entrepreneurship Group Looks to Expand Membership Youth Entrepreneurship Association Provides Funding and Encouragement for Teens By Keemia Zhang A Santa Monica High School (SaMoHi) business club-turned-nonprofit, founded by seniors Mason Arditi and Olivia Pirrone, is looking to expand its membership. Arditi and Pirrone, who hosted a booth at the Open Main Street 2023 Festival, are the
co-founders of the Youth Entrepreneurship Association (YEA), which seeks to teach and lend its support to teenagers who run their own businesses. “The main thing we want to teach is that it’s more of a mindset than an occupation. The conviction to look at something and see something that others don’t see. We want people to solve problems within the community.” Arditi explained. The YEA’s programs include business classes, resumebuilding sessions, a one-on-one mentorship program, and external speakers, alongside Summer Teenpreneurships, which permit students to seek over $250 in seed funding for their business ideas. The club was initially started in 2021, becoming SaMoHi’s most popular club before transitioning into a nonprofit in a bid to assist lower-income teens. “We realized we weren’t helping kids that were needing this education. In L.A, there’s a huge amount
of generational poverty.” Pirrone said. The YEA subsequently held programs at the Santa Monica and Mar Vista Boys & Girls Clubs and the Pico Youth and Family Center. “We had about nine student-led businesses that we’ve incubated, from a clothing brand that stands against gun violence to a rideshare application for surfers, so we’re just kind of doing everything,” Pirrone remarked. Some of the group’s most successful stories include a vegan bundt cake company started in South Central that garnered $7500 in funding and a menstrual kit designed for school bathrooms designed by an eighth-grader. “We’ve worked with over 200 students so far, and for our school programs, we have about 70 students between the two,” Arditi said. YEA currently operates between two high schools in Santa Monica and San Francisco. “Right now, we’re looking for other talented high school students to open up their club chapters. We’re licensing our IP
to other high schoolers to start their own club and gain access to resources and funding.” YEA operates primarily on company sponsorships (including a “generous grant” from State Farm) and local donations. Despite their ages, Aridi and Pirrone don’t believe they are at a disadvantage. “Now we see 24-year-old tech founders coming straight out of college – I think just to keep the trend going, we have to focus on high schoolers,” claimed Arditi. “They have the talent; they just don’t have the resources - or the credibility, because who gonna put bets on a high schooler, right?” The YEA’s goal is to eventually develop into a venture capital firm that exclusively funds teen businesses. “We want to create a network of young leaders and invest in them as much as we can Members of the public can donate to the YEA on its website to support their efforts in providing business resources to local teens.

What sets us apart is our unique combination of one-on-one private instruction and ensemble based rehearsals. You can take a lesson anywhere, but come to School of Rock to take the stage and rock the crowd. For the past 12 years School of Rock West LA has been getting students inspired and excited about music using our “Song First” approach along with our patented School of Rock Method. This approach helps kids love learning and improve faster. Our programs take students from beginner to rocking famous stages around Los Angeles. We start with Little Wing for our younger 3-5 year olds where we teach them music basics in a fun and interactive way. Rookies for 6-7 year olds allows students to explore each of our core instruments: drums, bass, piano, guitar and vocals by playing simplified versions of songs in an ensemble format. Next is Rock 101 for 8-13 year olds. In Rock 101, students gear up to take the stage by combining private lessons with an ensemble Rock 101 rehearsal. Our selection of songs will teach your student the fundamentals necessary to achieve rock glory! Students are allowed to progress at their own pace until they are ready for Performance Program. In the Performance Program students rehearse sets of music to take the stage. Through structured rehearsals and engaging private lessons we get kids ready to take the stage and famous venues such as the Troubadour and Whisky-a-Go-Go to perform in front of live audiences. Nothing is cooler than standing at your locker and telling your friends, “I had a gig at the Troubadour Sunday”. Our students benefit from learning from a community of teachers and fellow students. For years, lessons were private and passive. Now, you can immerse your child in a network of musicians with the common goal of making the world a better place through the passion and power of music. We are like a team, but instead of lacing up our shoes and hitting the field, we string up our guitars and create music as a team. The top compliment we usually hear is “I wish I had this when I was kid.” We agree. Whether music is a fun hobby or you have dreams of becoming a professional musician, School of Rock West LA is here to help you rock!

There’s a better way to do high school. Vistamar is a private independent high school in the South Bay.
It appears that a Balinese-influenced tropical hideaway in Malibu’s Broad Beach was sold for $16.7 million to John Vojtech and his wife Luz Estela, with the seller being Grammy-winning vocalist Dan Reynolds, lead singer of Imagine Dragons. While it sold for less than the $18 million asking price, it marked a significant increase from the $11.3 million it was last sold for just three years ago in 2020. The property has a notable Hollywood pedigree, having previously served as a vacation home for actors Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The couple adorned the house with various eclectic furnishings, including Buddhas. Some of the neighboring homeowners in the Broad Beach area include Pierce Brosnan, Ray Romano, Marta Kauffman, Dustin Hoffman, and
Mindy Kaling. Hawn and Russell sold the property in 2013 for $9.5 million. Since then, the property had several owners, with minimal alterations made to the house, including retaining some of the original furnishings. The mansion is situated behind high walls and gates, featuring a tranquil bamboofilled courtyard and a stone Ganesha statue. The main house spans 4,200 square feet and includes a double-height living room with a stone fireplace and wet bar, an ornate dining room with unique furnishings, and a gourmet kitchen with high-end stainless appliances. The master suite boasts a fireplace, a large closet, an oceanview balcony, and a bathroom primarily constructed from Chinese onyx. There are two additional guest suites, a Crestonoperated media room, and an oversized office in the main house. A separate guesthouse is located above the detached three-car garage, offering a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, and sitting area that can also function as a gym. The backyard features an oceanside alfresco dining terrace, an outdoor fireplace, various fountains, and private trails leading to the beach, making it an attractive property for Malibu beachgoers.

OPINION
S.M.a.r.t Column: Two More Futures SMa.r.t. Santa Monica Architects for a Responsible Tomorrow
In our last column, S.M.a.r.t discussed the future we might want for our City 5075 years from now; see the S.M.a.r.t column Four Futures. The discussion revolved around the concept of core competencies. Core competencies are activities that a city does better regionally or even internationally than other cities. Think Atlanta for logistics, London for finance, and Los Angeles for entertainment. Some cities have several core competencies: think New York for both finance and entertainment. Our City currently has four significant competencies: beach tourism, retail shopping and services (the 3rd Street Promenade), health (2 major hospitals), and automobiles (Santa Monica Blvd car row). But over time, core competencies change: some increase, some decrease, and some even disappear. For example, in the early sixties, we lost a significant competency, aviation, when Douglas Aircraft moved their factory to Long Beach. Looking ahead, we see substantial challenges to our existing core competencies. During the 77-year life of our youngest citizens, they will see the vanishing of our beach due to sea level rise. With our wide beach sand and parking lots gone, our beach will look like the seascape

just south of where Sunset Blvd meets PCH. There is surfing there, but not enough beach to support our continued full-fledged beach tourism core competency. Likewise, our next core competency loss is already here with the collapse of the 3rd Street Promenade winged by Amazon’s dominance, Covid’s office diaspora, the constant presence of people without homes, and cinema’s long fade. Fortunately, our health core competence seems stable into the next quarter century with the presence of many resident and regional boomers (seniors use a lot of health services in the last quarter of their lives). Finally, the private automobile sector (sales, parts, gas stations, repairs, parking, driving schools, smog checks etc., etc.) will start to shrink for all the known reasons: increasing car purchase costs, parking problems caused by no parking requirements in new projects, and the advent of self-driving cars. In short, of our four major core competencies, one is strong (health), two are staggering (beach and cars), and one is dead (retail), so we need new competencies to propel our City for the rest of this century. Two weeks ago, S.M.a.r.t proposed four new competencies for your consideration.
Institute, etc., etc.) but could further expand its health infrastructure, e.g., laboratories, clinics, and doctor’s offices, to meet increasing demand if the Westside densifies, though, in spite of the excessive development we are currently experiencing, there is currently a decline in the local and statewide population. The City could also shift from crisis-oriented medicine to a City emphasizing healthy living: yoga, tai chi, meditation classes, and countless other activities of direct benefit to its residents. Finally, pollution reduction in all its forms would be another wellness fulcrum.
home ownership. The difference from those suburban cities is that they have lower land value and have room for families (e.g., backyards) and ownership, while Santa Monica’s development has consistently destroyed family housing, and there is no new plan incentivizing ownership. We would continue to pack in new wealthy residents in multistory econo boxes but with a slightly better school system than our surrounding City of Los Angeles. The next two candidate core competencies for your consideration this week could be built around higher education and ecology:
1. PARK PARADISE: Santa Monica could be the center of a large regional park replacing the airport. In this way, we could retain our role as the lungs and open space source for the residents of the increasingly impacted Westside and San Fernando Valley. Naturally, this park would need to be funded by Federal, State, County, and local City investments because our City does not have the funds for a new 220-acre park.
3, CITY OF FESTIVALS: As our beaches shrink, our hotels, restaurants, and other tourist infrastructure could be refocused to serve a series of festivals, conventions, shows, and competitions. Our City would be organized around a series of monthly, quarterly, and annual festivals. The kind of festivals would only be limited by our imagination and the ability to insert them gracefully into our urban fabric.
2. WELLNESS MECCA: The City already has a strong medical establishment (2 Hospitals, Amgen, Emperor’s College, John Wayne Cancer
4. LA’s BEDROOM: Alternatively, we could become just a bedroom community for LA like Simi Valley or Palmdale, only closer and without
5. CAMBRIDGE OF THE WEST: We could make Santa Monica a higher education node by raising our College to university status or creating a whole new university, say at part of the vacated airport, should that ever occur. Triangulated between Pepperdine, UCLA, Otis, Loyola, and Mount Saint Mary’s College, a new university might focus on high-tech skills, information science, and the arts or focus on what is not being provided adequately by those other schools. Naturally, the value added of such an endeavor would have to be studied carefully since universities are now on the ropes due to the incredibly high cost of higher education. Such a City would have to provide dormitories on campus or off and would have a cyclical invasion of students in the fall followed by emptier facilities during the summer, although this could be compensated by the balancing increased summer tourist trade.

6. ECO TOWN: A final core competency to consider would be a city that can provide all its own needed water, power, and food. For water, we would continue to ramp up our recycled water infrastructure and our stormwater storage capacity and continue to reduce our internal water consumption so as to not draw down our own water table. With State mandates for building unnecessary housing, this, of course, would be a difficult task to manage. If the City grew beyond those sources, desalinization would have to be considered and planned for. For power, we could require all new buildings to be net-zero (provide all their needed power on-site) with either shared battery capacity or surplus battery capacity provided by buildings that could not reach net-zero for any reason, e.g., bigger than
November 10 - November 16, 2023
3-4 stories or are shaded by other existing buildings or trees. Offshore windmills (or at the airport, in lieu of potential parkland) could also provide the power needed for our City and the surplus sold to LA City. Our public schools would be designed as cooling centers for the inevitable killer heat waves. Finally, food could be provided by a combination of interior vertical farming or open farming on vacated airport land that isn’t possibly occupied by college expansion or a desalinization plant. It’s unclear how big the population could be if it were limited by the capacity to grow our own food, and this would require more study to see if this is a realistic criteria. Our City would be an exemplary, sustainable (able to function in perpetuity) and resilient (able to survive the inevitable earthquakes and tsunamis) city. It would not contribute to global warming or global pollution. We are now transitioning from our City’s core competencies (beach tourism, retail, health, and cars) of the last seven decades to the competencies for our next seven decades. The possible competencies suggested here are to expand our thinking and identify both opportunities and conflicts. Because preparing new competencies on an urban scale takes time, we should start that discussion now and then preposition the elements needed for their realization. Such prepositioning would require a master plan that everyone has had a chance to contribute and buy into. Notice two things. First, the core competencies are not mutually exclusive: perhaps several, but not all, could exist simultaneously. Second, notice how many of the candidate’s core
WWW.SMMIRROR.COM
competencies involve needing to use the last of our large open space, the remarkable asset of our airport land. Because the discussion of the airport’s future is already here, we should have a community discussion of our aspirational core competencies before committing to a specific airport master plan.
