THE REST IN PEACE ISSUE

Mayor Genser remembered as tenacious

COMMUNITYPROFILES CAMERON COHEN

BY NICK TABOREK Daily Press Staff Writer

SAMOHI Friends and colleagues remembered Mayor Ken Genser on Sunday for his quick wit, steadfast friendship, love of a good meal and for the passion he showed serving Santa Monica as a City Councilman for the past 21 years.

The memorial service honoring the late mayor, who died this month at 59, drew several hundred people to Barnum Hall on Santa Monica High School’s campus.

City Hall officials and friends shared memories of a man who struggled with health issues most of his life but rarely complained, instead becoming known for his ready laugh.

“He shared with us all a brilliant intellect and a bulldog’s tenacity and a compassionate spirit and the heart of a mensch,” SEE GENSER PAGE 3

PROVING THAT CREATING AN IPHONE

application is not just for the seasoned tech whiz or entrepreneur looking to make millions, 11-year-old Cameron Cohen recently debuted iSketch — a drawing application featuring multiple brush sizes and colors — and plans on donating the proceeds to the Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and Orthopedic Hospital.

Cameron, who lives in Brentwood, was

treated at the hospital for a benign tumor in his leg. Although only in the hospital for about 10 days, Cameron missed a few months of school due to associated illness and spent nine months recovering from his surgeries.

“When I was injured I didn’t really have anything to do and I was bored,” Cameron said. “I had always been interested in programming and computers, and I had an iPod touch, so I just decide to Google ‘how do I create an iPhone application.’”

Through watching Stanford University lessons on iTunes, online tutorials, reading

manuals and attending computer summer camps, Cameron taught himself the language and skills of programming. Learning programming proved challenging, Cameron said, but he stuck with it.

Cameron said he decided on iSketch after experiencing disappointment with other drawing applications he had downloaded to his iPod touch. Even more frustrating, Cameron said, was the $3-$5 price tag on the drawing applications. His

Just as the name implies, Principal Protected CDs provide investors with 100% principal protection when held to maturity. Additional return is derived from the performance of an underlying asset or group of assets, such as the S&P 500. Considered buy-and-hold investments, Principal Protected CDs are typically FDIC insured (subject to FDIC rules).

Principal Protected CDs may be appropriate for more conservative investors seeking market exposure without risking their principal investment. The principal protection and payment at maturity is subject to the credit risk of the issuer and investors may experience a loss if sold prior to maturity.

Kid donates proceeds from application FROM CP PAGE 1

Brandon Wise brandonw@smdp.com

IN MEMORY: The memorial for the late Mayor Ken Genser drew elected officials from across the region on Sunday at Santa Monica High School.

Genser known as a man with a true passion FROM GENSER PAGE 1 Councilman Richard Bloom said in remarks to an audience that included City Hall colleagues, as well as Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl, state Rep. Julia Brownley and Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky.

As Santa Monica’s longest-serving council member, Genser fought for the preservation of Santa Monica’s neighborhoods, the protection of tenant rights and the environment and was instrumental in creating affordable housing and youth programs.

Genser was a member of the Planning Commission prior to being elected to the council and was involved in the restoration of the Santa Monica Pier. He was a founding member of the city’s largest affordable housing developer, Community Corp. of Santa Monica, serving on its board from 1982 to 1988.

Lamont Ewell, who retired last week as

Santa Monica’s city manager, remembered Genser as a lively dinner party guest, an authoritative Santa Monica historian and a meticulously logical thinker who lived,“by any and all accounts ... a life of richness and fulfillment.”

Several colleagues said one of Genser’s defining traits on the council was his ability to be a fierce advocate for his point of view while maintaining civil relationships with opponents.

“One of the reasons Ken was so effective was because he had the amazing ability to be passionate about the issues without being emotional,” said Kelly Olsen, a friend and former councilman.

Olsen also used the platform to advocate for continuing the policies and positions that Genser supported during his tenure, even stating that Genser wanted Patricia Hoffman, the co-chair of Santa Monicans for Renters’ Rights, the political party that Genser belonged to, to replace him on the council.

“I know from speaking with Ken on

many occasions that it was his wish that Patricia be on the City Council,” he said.

The council is scheduled to officially declare Genser’s seat vacant on Tuesday, after which the panel will have 30 days to either appoint a replacement or make plans for a special election.

At last week’s meeting, City Councilman Kevin McKeown said the council should carefully consider how to select a new member, stating that the process used to fill the seat vacated when Councilman Herb Katz died last year was flawed.

Katz, who was not a member of SMRR, was replaced by SMRR member Gleam Davis, who had not run in the most recent election in November 2008. Ted Winterer, the highest vote-getter not elected to the council in that election and a non-SMRR member, was bypassed, despite an effort to appoint him. nickt@smdp.com

iSketch drawing creation, which allows users to save and send their masterpieces via email, sells for 99 cents.

While waiting for Apple’s approval after submitting his application in November, Cameron reflected on his time spent in the pediatrics unit at the Santa Monica-UCLA hospital. He realized how fortunate he was to have had his iPod and computer to keep him occupied during his time there.

“I wanted other kids to be able to have fun and have things to make them feel better when they were in the hospital,” Cameron said. “So, I decided I wanted to donate my money to helping buy them more supplies.”

Cameron will donate a substantial portion of the profits from the iSketch application, which came out in early December.

While the hospital does have entertainment materials to keep patients amused, a lot of the equipment is outdated, said Laila Ramji, child life specialist at the hospital.

Cameron’s donation will help fulfill both his and the hospital’s goal of acquiring additional age-appropriate and current DVDs and music for teenagers and pre-teens, as well as electronic equipment like portable DVD players. Ramji said it is important for pediatric patients to have access to entertainment, and the new equipment will help them pass the time.

“Often [patients] can’t get out of bed or aren’t feeling well but need something, one, to distract them and, two, to perk them up a little bit,” Ramji said.

Even without the new supplies arriving yet, Cameron’s plan to donate his proceeds has already made a big impact on hospital staff. Ramji said it is often hard to tell exactly what children take away from their experience at the hospital. But in Cameron’s case, he made it apparent that the doctors and nurses who cared for him left a positive impression and made him want to give back.

“They’re so wonderful,” Lisa Cohen, Cameron’s mother, said of the hospital staff.

“We’re very happy to do what we can to help them.”

Cameron recently released an updated version of iSketch adding three brushes, improving the color palette and inserting a text tool that allows users to pick the text SEE CP PAGE 6

Just say no to ‘transit village’ Editor:

Re: An open letter to the Santa Monica Planning Commission: For what it’s worth, I vehemently object to the proposed Bergamot Transit Village Center project slated for the Paper Mate Pen property at 26th and Olympic.

You can call it a “transit village” all you want but in the final analysis, it’s a huge office complex in the middle of an already over-built part of town. I suggest that you and the other people on the Planning Commission spend some time at or near the Cloverfield/Olympic intersection any weekday morning or late afternoon and you’ll know all you need to know about why a project of the massive scale of the Bergamot Transit Village Center is ludicrous!!

Serious school money questions go unanswered Editor’s note: This is part one of a two-part series on school district finances.

The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District lurches from one fiscal crisis to another. Good times, bad times, there never seems to be enough green. So, we have parcel tax on parcel tax, bond drives, millions of dollars more in grants form the cities of Santa Monica and Malibu — and our schools are always in the hole.

Beverly Hills Unified School District was in the news recently because they eliminated hundreds of permit students to save money.

Beverly Hills schools are different than ours because they receive no money from the state. Their local school taxes supersede the total state allocation of around $6,200 per student. Eliminating some 400 permit students means no loss in state support for Beverly Hills schools, relieving their taxpayers of the obligation of paying for non-resident students.

Two weeks ago, I sent an e-mail to the seven people on the SMMUSD Board of Education. I asked three questions relating to school revenues and expenses: ■ What plans of any do you have for getting non-resident, “permit” parents (who pay no parcel taxes or bond expense) to step up their voluntary contributions to the schools?

■ There are thousands of subsidized lowincome housing units in numerous buildings owned by nonprofit Community Corporation of Santa Monica and other taxexempt public housing entities. Do you have any thoughts about how parents of school children in public housing can help support the district financially?

■ Other school districts have variable parcel taxes such as commercial properties that pay a higher rate than smaller residential properties. What, if any, plans do you have to force our large property owners and corporations to contribute more to the district and help carry more of the load?

I didn’t expect Maria Leon-Vazquez to reply. She’s on record as not making public statements to the press. Nevertheless, she talked to the Malibu Times (Nov. 11, 2009) regarding the awarding of a $90,999 contract to the Gensler firm for updating the district’s strategic plan.

“In our community, we have so much involvement and everybody wants to have their hands on everything,” she said. “And sometimes we can’t have everybody’s hands in the making of the soup. We just can’t have it.”

It’s good that Leon-Vazquez doesn’t make public statements. She should stick to being silent so she won’t embarrass herself. And, why is the school board approving $90,000 for yet another study — at this time?

Only Ben Allen and Ralph Mechur responded to my e-mail. Surely, my ques-

tions weren’t that difficult, yet Kelly Pye, Barry Snell, Oscar de la Torre and Jose Escarce didn’t reply, either.

Allen e-mailed, “We’re receiving 18 percent less than we were supposed to according to Prop. 98, plus additional cuts in our categorical funds. … Now, we’ve got another $20 billion deficit in Sacramento, and the governor has proposed an additional several billion in cuts … .

“The vast majority of our money still does continue to come from the state. And, most of our costs are relatively fixed. The quality of education in California has declined, and will continue to decline, with all sorts of negative repercussions for the future. I wouldn’t want to see that happen here in Santa Monica, and that’s why I’m looking for all sorts of creative ways to help fill in our budget gap.”

He mentioned “branding” (such as marketing school names and logos such as “Samohi” and “Malibu High”) to raise money. He added, “I know that the schools do get a certain percentage of developer fees, and I would like to see the city look into the possibility of increasing that contribution.”

Both excellent ideas. So Ben, when is the board going to act on them?

Allen explained, “The problem is that as a result of Prop.13, [a parcel tax] is the only type of tax that the school district can levy for its general fund. I’d love to be able to go to the voters with a more progressive tax proposal, but the current laws don’t allow for that unfortunately.”

Allen’s right about the parcel tax being the only tax a school district can levy but wrong on what the law allows. A number of districts have implemented “more progressive” variable parcel taxes that tax improvements and set different rates for commercial or residential and single-family and multifamily properties, according to EdSource Inc’s. “Local Revenues for the Schools.”

What are the primary environmental concerns in the aftermath of the big earthquake in Haiti?

AS WOULD BE THE CASE AFTER ANY

natural disaster, water-borne illness could run rampant and chemicals and oil could leak out of damaged storage facilities as a result of the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that ripped apart Haiti on Jan. 12. Surprisingly, no large industrial spills have been found during initial post-quake rescue efforts, but of course the focus has been on saving human lives and restoring civil order.

According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the biggest issue is the building waste; some 40 to 50 percent of the buildings fell in Port-auPrince and nearby towns. “Thousands of buildings suddenly become debris and this overwhelms the capacity of waste management,” says UNEP’s Muralee Thummarukudy, who is directing efforts to collect the waste for use in reconstruction projects.

Even before the quake Haiti had major environmental problems. Intensive logging beginning in the 1950s reduced Haiti’s forest cover from 60 percent to less than two percent today. This lack of trees causes huge soil erosion problems, threatening both food and clean water sources for throngs of hungry and thirsty people. “If you have forest cover, when heavy rain takes place it doesn’t erode the land,” UNEP’s Asif Zaidi reports.

“It doesn’t result in flash floods.” He adds that, due to its lack of forest cover, Haiti suffers much more during hurricanes than does the neighboring Dominican Republic.

Compounding these ecological insults is Haiti’s fast growing population, now 9.7 million and growing by 2.5 percent per year.

This has pushed millions of Haitians into marginal areas like floodplains and on land that could otherwise be used profitably.

“Most fertile land areas are often used for slums, while hillsides and steep landscapes are used for agriculture,” reports USAID’s Beth Cypser. The resulting sanitation problems have stepped up cases of dysentery, malaria and drug-resistant tuberculosis among Haiti’s poverty-stricken population.

Trash-filled beaches, smelly waterways, swarms of dead fish and tons of floating debris stand testament to Haiti’s water pollution problems — now exacerbated by the earthquake.

Adding to the City Council The City Council has the somber task of having to replace a fallen member in Mayor Ken Genser. The task at hand is selecting the proper process and candidate to fill the open seat.

So, this week’s Q-Line question asks: How should the council fill the seat?

Should there be a special election or should the council select its next member, and who should it be?

Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your answers in the weekend edition of the Daily Press.

IN NEED OF HELP: Even before the earthquake Haiti had major environmental and economic problems. Intensive logging beginning in the 1950s has reduced Haiti’s forest cover from 60 percent to less than two percent today. This lack of trees causes huge soil erosion problems, threatening both food and clean water sources for throngs of hungry and thirsty people. The earthquake has only exacerbated problems in this country of 9.7 million people that is the poorest in the Western hemisphere.

“We need to … create mechanisms that reinforce better use of natural resources,” says UNEP’s Zaidi. Prior to the quake, UNEP had committed to a two-year project to bolster to restore Haiti’s forests, coral reefs and other natural systems compromised by the island’s economic problems. Providing access to propane to encourage a shift from charcoal-burning stoves is an immediate goal. Longer term, UNEP hopes the program will help kick-start reforestation efforts and investments in renewable energy infrastructure there.

Perhaps the silver lining of the earthquake in Haiti is the fact that millions of people around the world now know about the plight of the country’s people and environment, and donations have started to pour in. Anyone interested in helping relief efforts in Haiti can send a text message triggering a small donation to the American Red Cross (text “HAITI” to 90999 and $10 will be donated and added to your next phone bill).

Those concerned about clean water specifically should donate to World Water Relief, a non-profit focusing on the installation of water filtration systems in Haiti and other distressed areas of the world.

Feed your mind with a good book, Libra ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★★ You blaze into the day full of enthusiasm and energy. You could inadvertently run up against someone who has very different ideas. Challenge yourself to get past this person's resistance. Both of you will be happier.

Tonight: Catch up on a pal's news.

★★★★★ You make adjustment after adjustment.

Don't allow this situation to get the best of you.

Understand how even you could be a stick in the mud. Tonight: Feed your mind with a good book.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★ Even though you might feel out of kilter, you'll do a good job. Have more faith in your abilities. Others do, so why shouldn't you?

News could be disruptive, but certainly don't buy into what you are hearing hook, line and sinker. Tonight: Get your budget in order.

Garfield

By Jim Davis

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ Refuse to allow a partner to dominate when you understand the error of his or her ways (even if this person doesn't!). Your ability to make someone feel important but still head in your unique direction emerges. Listen to feedback, but do your thing! Tonight: Togetherness counts.

Strange Brew

By John Deering

Speed Bump

By Dave Coverly

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ Sometimes you just simply know -like today. You are unbeatable, on top of your game, full of get-up-and-go. Your spirit opens doors and allows in someone who for a while might have been backing off. Tonight: In the whirlwind of the moment.

★★★★★ Don't hesitate to pull out all the stops when dealing with an ongoing problem. There are times when you feel overwhelmed by what is happening around you. Investigate options more carefully. Your laugh is a surefire winner.

Tonight: Go with another person's suggestion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★ Sometimes it is best to take leave of a situation and move in a new direction.

Understanding builds as you come to terms with a situation head-on. Though you see someone's recalcitrant ways, also understand how limited he or she feels. Tonight: R and R.

★★★★ Investigate alternatives. Drop saying "no, no, no." Be ready for an unusual twist, to be a tad uncomfortable and still be on top of your game. Listen to what is being shared, and for once, understand that you do need proof.

Tonight: Easy does it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★★ The Lion roars and struts his stuff. The issue with this attitude is that often others react to what appears to them to be arrogant or difficult behavior. Avoid that position. There are alternatives, you know. Tonight: Follow the action.

★★★★★ Add that unique flavor your sign is known for. Others either love or hate your flamboyant individualism. Remember that you are playing to the group that likes your style. You cannot make everyone happy all the time. Tonight: Think not of what day it is, but of living well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

PISCES (Feb.19-March 20)

★★★★ Before you lead the gang into a problematic situation, stop. Your "brilliant" idea just might backfire. You could be amazed by your alternatives if you kick back and relax. A position of leadership might be more significant than pushing to have your way. Tonight: A must appearance.

★★★ If you can work from home, realize that there is no better place. You don't have to get dressed or do anything, for that matter. Simply enjoy the space you are in, relax and accomplish what you must. A friend has very different ideas from you. Tonight: Order in.

Happy birthday

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: ★★★★★Dynamic ★★ So-So ★★★★ Positive ★ Difficult ★★★ Average

This year, you have the vitality and energy to meet nearly everyone's demands. You know what you want and desire. You are full of smiles and ready to find a solution for nearly any problem. Know when it no longer serves you to help someone. If you are single, you could have quite a romantic year, making nearly anything and everything happen. Are you ready for change?

GETTING STARTED There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing. Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

SHEPARD

■ Failed to Keep a Low Profile: (1) A news summary of traffic stops on Christmas Eve in Alice Springs, Australia, noted that 11 people were charged with DUI, including one man who was spotted driving despite his car's hood being broken in the "up" position and having smashed through his windshield.

The driver maneuvered down the street by craning his neck out the side window. (2) Two weeks earlier, in Trumbull, Conn., police arrested Christopher Frazao, 27, after watching him drive despite a windshield full of snow (except for a small opening he could peer though). A search of the car revealed marijuana and other drugs, as well as items believed to have been stolen in recent burglaries.

■ On the heels of the "Balloon Boy" fiasco in which a superambitious father exploited his child to win a reality TV job, Jim Dunn of North Vancouver, British Columbia, submitted a demo reel to reality-show producers featuring him and his entire family turned into gasoline-soaked fireballs. Dunn, one of Canada's leading film stunt men, and his wife and three kids, ages 15, 12 and 9, have all performed as stunt doubles (though it was the first fire for the youngest, who was 7 when the video was shot), and abundant safety precautions were taken (with no resulting complications).

In his career, Dunn has suffered six leg fractures and a cracked skull, and needed two bowel resections. ....
