SMMUSD board members kneel during Pledge of Allegiance

BY JEFF GOODMAN on September 23, 2016

They took a stand by deciding not to stand.

Two members of the Santa Monica-Malibu Board of Education declined to rise for the Pledge of Allegiance to start Thursday evening’s meeting,

bringing local attention to a national debate over the nature of protests before the U.S. flag.

Craig Foster and Oscar de la Torre chose to kneel for the duration of the pledge, their heads and shoulders sticking out above the dais at SMMUSD headquarters as their counterparts faced the adjacent American flag.

Foster and de la Torre did not comment on their protest immediately following the pledge, but both board members issued statements to the Daily Press later in the evening.

How will Expo Line affect Santa Monica?

BY JEFF GOODMAN on May 2, 2016

When Jeremy Stutes moved to Santa Monica from North Hollywood a few years ago, he landed an apartment within walking distance of Bergamot Station.

It was an intentional choice.

He knew the forthcoming Expo Line would soon provide him with another public transit option as he slowly distanced himself from the driving lifestyle, and this past month he did the Southern California unthinkable.

He sold his car.

With the light-rail system’s anticipated extension to Santa Monica opening May 20, Stutes is eager to incorporate Metro into his routine for getting around Los Angeles.

“It’s been a gradual transition away from the automobile,” he said. “I’m excited to rely on Expo, Breeze Bike Share, Big Blue Bus, Lyft, Zipcar and even Metrolink

and Amtrak as a I step away from the idea of having to own my own automobile. I’m also stepping away from the stress of sitting behind the driving wheel in traffic.”

Stutes has a deep interest in the success of the new train. He’s the chairman of railLA, a nonprofit advocacy coalition whose board also includes current Santa Monica City Councilmember Pam O’Connor. The group supports rail projects in the region.

But he’s not alone in his endorsement of the Expo Line, whose expansion to Santa Monica will bring track-based transit back to the Westside for the first time in decades. The 6.6-mile, $1.5-billion extension from Culver City features seven stops, including three in Santa Monica, and will facilitate trips to Downtown Los Angeles in about 45 minutes.

Danielle Shenise, a locally based photographer, said she’s looking forward to using the expanded light-rail operation. She and other

proponents have touted the environmental benefits of public transit.

“We’ve become way too dependent on our cars,” she said.

Local resident Tim Harter, a senior field representative for Assemblyman Richard Bloom (DSanta Monica), said the Expo Line will allow him to attend meetings in Downtown L.A. and meet friends for dinner in Culver City after work. The extension, he said, will connect Santa Monicans to a transit system that serves many other parts of the region.

“I can’t wait to experience Los Angeles without sitting in traffic,” he said. “I have been waiting for this train for a few years.”

But not everyone is so gung-ho about the expanded Expo Line.

Members of Santa Monica High School’s orchestra were scheduled to convene on campus Tuesday for their final rehearsal before a spring-break trip to Europe.

But what was supposed to be an exciting tune-up became a somber, emotional meeting as students absorbed the news of the terrorist attacks that rocked Belgium earlier that day.

As people around the world mourned following bombings in Brussels that left at least 30 people dead and scores more injured, the orchestra’s anticipated journey abroad was canceled due to safety concerns.

The trip to France, Belgium and the Netherlands was nixed following discussions between orchestra director Joni Swenson, Samohi principal Eva Mayoral and Santa Monica-Malibu school district Superintendent Sandra Lyon.

“It’s been really heartbreaking for the students,” Swenson said.

“The kids are devastated. But what they were experiencing doesn’t

compare to the tragedies that were happening in Belgium at the time.

To the credit of the kids, they understood that.”

In an email to local Board of Education members and other district officials Tuesday morning, Lyon said the district had been monitoring safety issues in Europe since the November terrorist attacks in Paris.

She and Mayoral explained their decision to cancel the trip in a letter to orchestra students and parents Tuesday.

“We understand that some will be frustrated, disappointed, and perhaps even angry at this decision, and we understand,” the letter reads. “However, we cannot in good conscience go forward with this trip knowing the concern being raised in France and Belgium right now over safety and security.

It is just too precarious a situation.”

Swenson was preparing to lead a group of 83 students, 11 parent chaperones and a few educators on a 10-day trip whose itinerary SEE MUSIC PAGE 3

included stops in Paris, Bruges and Amsterdam. The orchestra was slated to perform March 26 at Salle Gaveau, an historic concert hall in the French capital. The musicians were then slated to stop in Belgium on their way to Amsterdam, where they had planned a March 28 performance at the world-renowned Royal Concertgebouw.

“That opportunity is once-in-a-lifetime,” Swenson said. “And they’re so musically ready. They’re playing at their peak at sounding so wonderful.”

Orchestra students and parents had spent months fundraising for the trip, the cost of which was estimated at about $400,000.

achievement gaps, police murder and mass incarceration.”

The SMMUSD board meeting was held less than a week after Terence Crutcher was shot and killed by Tulsa police in an incident that was captured on aerial video footage.

Protesters have also taken to the streets in Charlotte in the days since Keith Scott was shot and killed by police in that North Carolina city, with authorities and family members offering clashing perspectives on many of the details.

“I am joining a spreading national all for attention to the deaths of young black men at the hands of police,” Foster’s statement reads, “and, more broadly, a call to examine

the meaning of ‘with liberty and justice for all’ and how we can better meet that goal today.”

The act of kneeling before the U.S. flag came to the fore when San Francisco 49ers football player Colin Kaepernick began spotlighting what he views as racial injustices by refusing to stand during the national anthem at games. His actions have sparked widespread dialogue about the police shootings of black citizens as well as about general expressions of dissent.

The protest by Foster and de la Torre came at an SMMUSD meeting during which the board studied a potential plan to close the achievement gaps that have persisted

between poor and minority students and their peers.

“Our nation is wrestling with issues of inequity and race,” interim co-superintendent Sylvia Rousseau said, “and education holds a great deal of the answer. If we can assume our responsibilities in a more productive way, we’re contributing to a better world for our future and our children.”

The school board’s vision statement refers to SMMUSD as a “community that values the contributions of all its members and strives to promote social justice.”

store on 17th Street near Ocean Park Boulevard, said the Expo Line isn’t going to boost her business because it isn’t close enough.

She added that she and many of her customers in the neighborhood are steering clear of Colorado Avenue entirely.

“I think people are really going to think about crossing town, regardless of what side you live on,” she said, arguing that improved mobility for people in the region will come

at the expense of local residents. “It’s a hassle. It’s a clogged-up mess. We already don’t go in that direction.”

Robert Herman, who has lived in Santa Monica since 1957, is also skeptical that the new rail line will reduce congestion locally.

“We love the freedom we have with our cars and a train will never solve the traffic problem,” he said.

Added local resident Faith Rumack, whose home is in the northeastern portion

of the city: “For those of us who still live here, it’s a nightmare.”

Longtime resident Michael Stark said the extension of the Expo Line fits into Santa Monica’s long history of changes in planning and development.

“I’m sure it will cause problems but we will survive those like we have all of the others,” he said. “I love this city, warts and all, and don’t want to live anywhere else.”

Swenson said officials bought travel insurance, but it was unclear Wednesday exactly how much money the group would be able to recover.

Instead of preparing for a flight to Paris, Swenson spent Wednesday reaching out to City of Santa Monica officials as she and her students attempt to organize a charity concert to support Belgian citizens.

“The really positive spin to put on something so tragic is the kids are amazing,” she said. “The kids are really learning real-world events. In some small way, they feel they can make a difference. That’s our goal right now. … If we could do our concert and make it a benefit, that would help the students feel like they can help.” editor@smdp.com

Second crash on Expo line

BY MATTHEW HALL on May 12, 2016

A train vs. car accident briefly closed the intersection of Lincoln and Colorado on May 11.

The crash is the second on the tracks and comes just a week before the line is scheduled to open to the public.

According to the Santa Monica Fire Department, emergency responders received a call at about 7:30 p.m. of a train/car collision. Three engines, one ladder truck, one USAR heavy rescue vehicle and a Battalion Chief responded.

The Santa Monica Police Department said a Tacoma truck was driving parallel to the train eastbound on Colorado when the truck driver made an illegal left turn onto Lincoln.

The train clipped the back of the truck causing moderate damage to the vehicle but little damage to the train. The train remained on the tracks and no injuries were reported from the car passengers or train operator.

Witnesses reported seeing the truck driv-

er discard a bag immediately after the accident and Lieutenant Saul Rodriguez said the driver, John Costello, was arrested when officers determined the bag contained cocaine.

The intersection was reopened at about 9 p.m.

A similar crash occurred in December of 2015 when a truck driver attempted to make an illegal left turn from westbound Colorado Avenue onto southbound 7th Street. The westbound train hit the cab of the truck, which was carrying construction materials. Left turns are prohibited along most of Colorado Avenue adjacent to the tracks and the truck’s turn was in violation of posted signs. In that incident, the train came off its tracks but remained upright.

Critics of the Expo line have long maintained the train should have been built above the street and others have questioned the lack of traditional crossing gates along the length of the line.

City Manager Rick Cole said Metro officials have experience opening trains at street level but everyone is adapting to the particular conditions in Santa Monica.

“This is not the first line built on the

Local, Secure, and Family run for over 30 years

street in Southern California but it is the first line built on Colorado in Santa Monica,” he said.

He said officials responded to the first incident by increasing signage and awareness campaigns along the tracks.

“I have been clear for months that we took this issue very seriously and we needed to mount both a very serious public education campaign and closely monitor the results of the testing,” he said.

Cole said the City has not taken any safety options off the table and will advocate for whatever it deems necessary as train operations increase but he said the two accidents shouldn’t be interpreted as evidence the line is unsafe.

“If we see a pattern emerge we’re going to advocate for whatever steps are necessary to protect public safety,” he said. “Everything has to be on the table but as of now, two accidents during the testing phase is not conclusive evidence that there should be physical changes in the construction.”

The 15.2-mile, $2.5-billion Expo project includes three stations in Santa Monica, including the western terminus at Colorado Avenue and 4th Street. Much of the funding is coming through Measure R, a sales tax initiative that Los Angeles County voters approved in 2008.

Traditional crossing gates are in place on the Eastern portion of the line, but gates are

not throughout the project because the streets were deemed too narrow to house the necessary apparatus.

Cole said the installation of new fencing is an example of adapting to the needs of the community. Fencing has been installed along the center of the tracks and along some sections of sidewalk after officials reported a high number of pedestrians engaging in unsafe crossings.

“We continue to be concerned and will advocate for additional changes if they become warranted,” he said.

Santa Monica’s public service agencies have been preparing for Expo’s arrival.

Agencies have been participating in tabletop exercises and the fire department has worked through 13 different kinds of Expo incident including train vs. vehicle accidents, train vs. pedestrian, terrorist attacks, overcrowding at train stations, fires on a train or at a station and several law enforcement scenarios.

Officers have also been issuing tickets along the line for infractions targeting drivers, pedestrians and bicycle riders.

Two Santa Monica fire trucks have been outfitted with specialized equipment capable of lifting a derailed train and one truck is located on each side of the track. editor@smdp.com

Sanders will spend Election Night in Santa Monica

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS CATHERINE LUCEY & LISA LERER June 6, 2016

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders will hold his California Primary election night rally in Santa Monica.

The event will be held at the Barker Hanger, 3021 Airport Ave. According to the Sanders Campaign, the event is closed to the public and available only to ticketed event holders that RSVP via the campaigns website (https://go.berniesanders.com).

Those who receive a ticket are warned not to bring bags and limit personal items to keys and cell phones. Weapons, sharp objects, chairs, and signs or banners on sticks will not be allowed through security.

Parking will be available only for those who require assisted seating.

The campaign is encouraging the use of taxis, ride-sharing services or the use of a campaign shuttle from the Bundy Expo stop.

Shuttles will be available at the west side of the station running to and from the venue from 6 p.m. to Midnight. Alternatively, the walk from the metro is approximately one mile. Doors open at 8 p.m.

The California Primary comes after a strong weekend for Hillary Clinton. The former secretary of state won primaries in the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico putting her just 23 delegates short of the 2,383 needed to win the nomination, according to an Associated Press count.

Clinton won all seven delegates available in the U.S. Virgin Islands and at least 36 of the 60 delegates available in Puerto Rico.

There are four delegates remaining in Puerto Rico, but they cannot be allocated until the vote count is finished. That won’t happen until Tuesday, because the island’s elections officials took Monday off after counting results until dawn.

Clinton now has 1,812 pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses; Sanders has 1,521.

When including superdelegates, the party insiders who can vote for the candidate of their choice at the party’s summer convention, her lead over Sanders is substantial: 2,360 to 1,567.

AP surveys the superdelegates throughout the primary season to track who they planned to support at the July convention. If a superdelegate tells AP they plan to unequivocally support a candidate at the convention in July, they are added to that candidate’s tally.

Both Clinton and Sanders spent Sunday in California, the biggest prize among the six states voting on Tuesday. Sanders shook hands and stopped for photos during a stroll of more than an hour along the shops, restaurants and amusement park rides of the Santa Monica Pier.

That included a stop at a charity “Pedal on the Pier” fundraiser, where Sanders told people riding on stationary bikes that the U.S. should have “an economy that works for all people, not just the one percent.”

Sanders previously held a rally at Santa Monica High School last month.

Man shot by sheriff’s deputy at Expo Line station in Downtown Santa Monica

BY JEFF GOODMAN on October 4, 2016

A suspect was shot by an L.A. County Sheriff ’s deputy Tuesday afternoon at the Expo Line terminus in Downtown Santa Monica, officials said.

The suspect was placed in an ambulance, but his condition was not immediately known. Sheriff ’s spokesman Ramon Montenegro did not confirm whether or not the suspect was armed, although witnesses reported that he was brandishing a knife.

No deputies were injured following the incident, which happened at about 12:55 p.m., Montenegro said.

Road closures were in effect in the area around the transit station, which is located

at Colorado Avenue and 4th Street.

Expo Line service was also disrupted, as trains were turning around at the 17th Street/Santa Monica College station. Bus shuttles were in service between the 17th Street stop and the terminus, according to transit officials.

Additional information was not immediately available.

The station opened in May. In June, the station was briefly evacuated as authorities cleared a suspicious package.

The sheriff ’s department handles security for the L.A. County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Santa Monica police were assisting. editor@smdp.com

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

Your memories color your world, and the world colors your memories. There’s a strong optimism flowing through this day, and the prevailing emotional colors will be as spectacular as a sunrise.

To the young, not going is a tragedy, a source of regret and worried wondering about what might have been (SET ITAL)if only(END ITAL)...

To the old, not going is a relief, a delight, a privilege.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It probably won’t be easy to ward off social intrusion, and it may be futile to try. Chances are that the interruptions will bring something just as good as, if not better than, what you were trying to do originally.

Between all the skills you’re building, the layers of meaning you’re sorting out and the difficult day-to-day decisions you’re making with increasingly greater ease -- without even realizing it, you’re becoming more complex.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You’ve an excellent sense about what people will find value in. The next person may not get the same thing out of it, but if you found usefulness there, chances are the others will, too.

You have a big heart, and you’ve opened it to many. Being the excellent host you are, you really can’t help but accommodate those who live inside it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You have some stellar advisers in your life these days, and you’re willing to listen to all they have to say. And as long as this is exactly what you were going to do in the first place, you’ll readily apply it.

You’ll weigh your words and speak up when you have something insightful or funny to add. As for your friends who have far less of a filter, you’ll be the diplomatic gloss that helps everyone get along anyway.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

If you chase the dream, it will always stay ahead of you. Instead, meet it at the destination. “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.” -- Wayne Gretzky

You have many talents, and sometimes it’s challenging to know which one you should focus on. Choose what you love the most these days.

Set a goal, and stick to the path until it’s done.

Moon Prays From Pisces The moon offers up a prayer from Pisces, and tomorrow Venus will follow. “Breathe,” they’ll say. And though it seems it should go without saying, there’s a point to the instruction. Stressed people take shallow breaths, depriving themselves of the very oxygen they need to process life. To breathe through it is to breathe power into it.
