THE STILL POPULAR ISSUE

Tourism remains strong locally Hotels, currency exchangers report brisk business

BY MIRIAM FINDER Special to the Daily Press

Brandon Wise brandonw@smdp.com

NICE COIN: Foreign money continues to pour into Santa Monica as hotels and money exchangers book decent business. The city’s tourism industry is surprisingly strong compared to other area cities.

DOWNTOWN Although Santa Monica has not made it through the recent recession unharmed, one local industry — tourism — continues to perform at a fairly consistent level. While other parts of the country are listing 50 percent decreases in tourism revenues, Santa Monica is making it through with much less damage.

“We’re down from 2008 to 2009,” said Kim Babeeker, Santa Monica Convention and Visitors Bureau director of marketing.

“We’re down, but we’re faring OK comparatively.”

“Faring OK” might be a bit of an understatement. The hotel occupancy rate in Santa Monica between 2008 and 2009 went down 4.5 percent. However, other area cities such as Beverly Hills and Downtown Los Angeles faced occupancy rate decreases of 12 percent and 13 percent, respectively.

Convention and Visitors Bureau officials speculate that Santa Monica’s unique mix of shopping, cultural activities and beach proximity have allowed it to sustain smaller tourism damages than other parts of Los Angeles and the country.

Regardless of reported occupancy decreases, some Santa Monica hotels have yet to face a significant drop in patrons, although that may be a result of the demographic the hotels market themselves to.

Shutters on the Beach caters to an entertainment industry crowd so, regardless of any decrease in domestic or international tourists, the hotel has been packed with industry people during the recent awards season.

The Georgian Hotel’s employees have likewise seen a sustained number of patrons coming through their doors.

“We have been pretty consistent,” said reservations agent Arlene Figueroa. “[Maybe] a little less than the year before.”

She said Georgian visitors largely consist of families during the summer and American business travelers the rest of the year.

While these hotels reflect a steady arrival of domestic tourists, some currency exchange agencies suggest a stable flow of international tourists, as well. Robin Pinner, an employee at Wilshire Coin, said they are seeing their normal annual increase in foreign currency SEE TOURISM PAGE 10

Bee plan gets vote of confidence from city staff, councilman

BY NICK TABOREK Daily Press Staff Writer

CITY HALL Dead bees typically don’t get much sympathy.

For most humans, the buzzing, stinging creatures just don’t have the appeal that mammals like, say, bunny rabbits or whales do.

But for Santa Monica resident Daniel Salisbury, the insects are as deserving of fair treatment as any of the cuter species, not least of all because of their important role in the food chain, pollinating many of the crops that people eat.

With a worldwide and still unexplained phenomenon known as “colony collapse disorder” threatening the bee population, Salisbury, an amateur beekeeper, says its high time for Santa Monica to a take kinder,

gentler stance on bees.

Salisbury said the American Beekeeping Federation estimates about half of the honeybee colonies in California have been killed or severely weakened because of colony collapse disorder, making Santa Monica’s bee extermination policy all the more troubling.

“Right now, Santa Monica policy ... is if they encounter a beehive or a bee swarm they immediately exterminate it,” he said.

His proposal, which calls for City Hall to lift its ban on beekeeping and set up a volunteer-staffed bee sanctuary, gained momentum this month when the Task Force on the Environment put its stamp of approval on the plan and recommended that the City Council take action.

If adopted, the plan would reverse Santa Monica’s policy of exterminating feral bees

Venice Beach prospers as economy sours CHRISTINA HOAG Associated Press Writer

Since California voters legalized medical marijuana in 1996, there has been tension between local law enforcement officials and federal authorities, who view marijuana as absolutely illegal.

That tension is expected to become even more pronounced if the state’s voters approve a November ballot measure legalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana.

“The way the law is now it puts law enforcement between a rock and a hard place,” said Martin J. Mayer, a lawyer who represents California State Sheriff ’s Association, California Police Chief ’s Association and California Peace Officers’ Association. “The measure, if it passes, will make it even more difficult. They just don’t like being in the middle.”

LOS ANGELES Sand and surf are the least of the attractions making Venice Beach one of Los Angeles’ top tourist draws.

On summer weekends, some 150,000 exhibitionists and gawkers flock to the neighborhood to see and be seen in a Bohemian rhapsody of bongo-bangers, dreadlocked artists and acrobatic gymnasts.

In recent months, though, that freewheeling hippie circus has gotten edgy thanks to a stubbornly sour economy heightening competition for the 200 peddler spaces along the 1.5-mile long asphalt strip bordering the beach.

That has longtime storeowners and artists steamed, and residents in the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood clamoring for a clamp down on the increased noise and transients.

“It’s become a real free-for-all, really aggressive,” said Therese Dietlin, who has distributed alternative political literature for nine years on the boardwalk, which is lined with cafes, medical marijuana clinics and souvenir shops.

Recently, she said, a woman selling Buddhas and incense kicked her table across the boardwalk claiming that Dietlin had set up her table in her space. “It never used to be like that,” she said.

The city has responded with new rules to give more people a chance at a space on the strip, but the peak summer season looms more chaotic than ever.

For the first time, the city has been giving out all the vendor spaces in its weekly lotteries. People from as far away as New York and Florida are participating, said Victor Jauregui, senior director of the Venice Beach Recreation Center, which runs the lottery.

The number of performers wanting a spot has jumped by 80 percent over the past year, while the number of vendors has doubled. That’s led to some boisterous raffles.

“They get into it, calling each other all kinds of names,” Jauregui said. “It’s the frustration, especially if you get someone who is truly an artist and they haven’t gotten a space in a few weeks.”

Police say the tension is spilling on to the boardwalk with complaints about illegal

Felony pot cases being dropped by courts PAUL ELIAS Associated Press Writer

SAN FRANCISCO Police in a northern California town thought they had an openand-shut case when they seized more than two pounds of marijuana from a couple’s home, even though doctors authorized the pair to use pot for medical purposes.

San Francisco police thought the same with a father and son team they suspected of abusing the state’s medical marijuana law by allegedly operating an illegal trafficking operation.

But both cases were tossed out along with many other marijuana possession cases in recent weeks because of a California Supreme Court ruling that has police, prosecutors and defense attorneys

scrambling to make sense of a gray legal area: What is the maximum amount of cannabis a medical marijuana patient can possess?

No one can say for sure how many dismissals and acquittals have been prompted by the ruling, but the numbers are stacking up since the Supreme Court on Jan. 21 tossed out Patrick Kelly’s marijuana possession conviction.

The high court struck down a 7-year-old state law that imposed an 8-ounce limit on the amount of pot medical users of marijuana could possess. The court said patients are entitled to a “reasonable” amount of the drug to treat their ailments.

Law enforcement officials say the ruling has made the murky legal landscape of marijuana policy in California even more challenging to enforce.

Thanks for the health care bill Editor:

Now that the hyperbole and hysteria surrounding health care has died down for a minute, I think it’s time we all pause and reflect on just what a historic moment this truly is. No longer do we have to avoid going to the doctor for fear they might find a pre-existing condition that prevents me from seeking new employment. No longer does the average American need to fear getting sick will economically ruin their family for years down the road.

No longer will we be beholden to the special interests and insurance companies for our very well being.

Thank you, House, Thank you, Senate, and most of all Thank you, Mr. President. We are a better country for your efforts.

Respect vocational education Editor:

Education secretary Arne Duncan insists that all high school grads should be ready for college and work.

If this idea is accepted, a high school diploma will certify the completion of a college prep program.

This will have the effect of making a high school diploma irrelevant for all those who are not interested in college, who have different interests, talents and career paths. It will also mean a continuation of the decline of vocational classes of all kinds, which is not only bad for vocational ed and for the trades, it is bad for everyone.

My dad had a law degree and a CPA, and was highly educated and well-read. He went to a technical high school and took every shop class he could. He loved them. This practical background was extremely valuable to him in his business career. He knew what was happening not only in the offices but also in the factories, fields, construction sites, and warehouses, and had a deep respect for skilled work of all kinds.

Cost to ride goes up

LAST TUESDAY, THE CITY COUNCIL VOTED

to subsidize the free summer Twilight Dance Series on the Santa Monica Pier by raising ticket prices for the famous carousel.

The TDS has been hit because sponsors have withdrawn support in tough economic times. According to Pier Restoration Corp.

Executive Director Ben Franz-Knight, the PRC (the City Council-appointed entity that governs the pier and is responsible for the TDS) raised about $30,000 in sponsorships last year as opposed to $140,000 the year before. Ten TDS concerts cost $360,000 in 2009.

Without sponsorship support, 2010 PRC funds were limited to $116,500, yet the PRC voted to produce seven concerts budgeted at $208,650. Then they voted to ask City Council for financial support and approved a city staff recommendation to raise carousel prices for the extra money needed to fully fund the series.

Staff suggested boosting carousel ride prices for persons over 14 from $1 to $2.

Children between 6 and 14 went from 50 cents to $1. Children from 3 to 5, who previously rode for free, will pay $1.

Carousel rules say children under 5 must be accompanied by a paying adult, therefore a family will pay $2 for the adult to ride with a 2 and under child (instead of $1 under the old rates) and $3 with a child 3 to 5 ($2 for the adult, $1 for the child instead of $1 for the adult under the old rate). The new pricing would cover deficits in the carousel’s operation and yield an extra $50,000 to help pay for the 2010 TDS. The PRC ignored another option from CBS Radio Stations. CBS proposed producing nine “top-talent” concerts, allowing the PRC to stay within its $116,500 budget. CBS even promised to find co-sponsors. PRC member Ellen Brennan wrote in a letter, “This proposal would give the PRC and the public the nine concerts with no funds needed from the city and no donations needed from the public.”

The PRC turned down the offer to partner with CBS and is staying with TDS’s original and current promoter, King & Company. Obviously, politics are at work here. Producer Katharine King has loyal friends on the City Council and in the Santa Monicans for Renter’s Rights political group that controls the council. The fix was in.

Council committed $35,000 to the series on March 9 and suggested raising $30,000 more through public donations.

Councilman Richard Bloom told the Daily Press, “The radio stations will be presenting more commercially oriented acts that will, for obvious reasons, be more important to their bottom line, whereas the series in the past has been designed to be strictly a com-

munity benefit.”

What? City Council would rather pay $208,650 for seven “eclectic” concerts and decline nine, free “commercially oriented” concerts because CBS might profit in some way? Clearly, Bloom knows nothing about the concert business and apparently little about business, period.

At last Tuesday’s council meeting concerning carousel ride pricing, Councilman Kevin McKeown stated, “The carousel has to be made self-sustaining. Unfortunately, that was conflicted with the TDS because they were both put in the same staff report, I fully understand why people felt that children were being asked to subsidize the adults … .

That’s not what’s happening here.”

Sorry Kevin, it is what’s happening here.

Little kids will subsidize the TDS. Councilman Terry O’Day views the pier as a public park with amenities. “The carousel itself is a very important one of that suite of amenities on the pier. (It’s) not a material impact on what is budgeted — $800,000 deficit annually in the pier fund or in the city’s general fund — at all.”

Councilman Bobby Shriver agreed and recommended studying fare increases in future budget study sessions. “The concept of a free park is a great one, and I’m all for keeping the fares down,” he stated.

Councilwoman Gleam Davis countered, “We cannot afford to have the city’s general fund subsidize some of these wonderful amenities we have in the city, they must become self-sustaining.” She continued, “The radio station’s (proposal) are the Plan B and in many minds an inferior Plan B … .”

However, the council never saw a specific CBS proposal, so how could Davis and others call it “inferior?” Politics, remember?

Council members spoke glowingly of the TDS, but in all the talk of being unable (unwilling?) to subsidize the carousel, they had no problem subsidizing the dance series.

I guess, it’s all about priorities.

For the record, McKeown, Pam O’Connor, Bloom and Davis voted “Yes.” Shriver and O’Day voted “No.” Bob Holbrook was absent. Bottom line: promoting free “adult” concerts on the backs of children riding the carousel is just wrong.

The budget for the TDS has expanded annually with bigger names, larger crowds and more problems. Has the TDS grown “too big?” Maybe it’s time to rethink the TDS. This may be the perfect opportunity to come back down to Earth and stop trying to compete with big, money-making venues like the Nokia and Greek theaters and Gibson Amphitheater.

Sejima, Nishizawa win Pritzker JACOB ADELMAN Associated Press Writer

LOS ANGELES Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, a duo of Japanese architects praised for using everyday building materials to create ethereal structures that shelter flowing, dreamlike spaces, have won the 2010 Pritzker Architecture Prize, the prize’s jury announced Sunday.

Sejima, 54, and Nishizawa, 44, join Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas and Renzo Piano in receiving the top honor in the field in recognition of the art museums, university buildings and designer-label fashion boutiques they have designed in Japan, the United States and Europe.

“We want to make architecture that people like to use,” said Sejima, who likened the pair’s structures to public plazas, where visitors can roam freely in groups or find comfortable spots to spend time on their own.

“The jury somehow appreciated our way of making architecture.”

The Pritzker jury of architects, academics, writers and designers praised Sejima and Nishizawa for designing structures that blend into their surroundings to provide unassuming backdrops for the activities occurring in their midst.

"They explore like few others the phenomenal properties of continuous space, lightness, transparency and materiality,” the jurors wrote. “They seek the essential qualities of architecture that result in a muchappreciated straightforwardness, economy of means and restraint.”

Among the projects mentioned by the Pritzker jury were the translucent-skinned Christian Dior Building in Tokyo’s upscale Omotesando shopping district and the Toledo Museum of Art’s see-through Glass Pavilion.

The jury also mentioned the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology’s newly opened Rolex Learning Center, a singlestory slab-like concrete and glass structure that undulates over a four acre site, punctured in places to let light enter the massive open space that makes up its interior.

“It’s got an excitement and a vitality to it, as well as an originality that you don’t often see,” said Pritzker juror Lord Peter Palumbo.

“It’s the sort of building that stops you dead in your tracks.”

Sejima, who had previously worked in the offices of acclaimed Japanese architect Toyo Ito, and Nishizawa formed their Tokyobased design firm Sanaa Ltd. in 1995. The duo was awarded the 2005 Rolf Schock visual arts prize by Sweden’s royal academies in 2005.

Sejima is currently serving as the director of this year’s Venice Architecture Biennale, the first woman to do so.

The formal Pritzker ceremony will be held in May on Ellis Island. Sejima and Nishizawa will receive a $100,000 grant and a pair of bronze medallions.

Sejima and Nishizawa are the fourth Pritzker laureates to be chosen from Japan after Kenzo Tange, Fumihiko Maki and Tadao Ando.

The duo said they don’t see themselves as working within any sort of distinct Japanese architectural tradition. But they acknowledged being influenced by the austere construction methods, lightweight materials and porous boundaries between inside and outside space that characterize traditional Japanese buildings.

“If you see Japanese temples made of wood, you can see how the architecture is made up,” Nishizawa said. “They have a clear construction and transparency and they are quite simple. I think this is one of the big things that we are influenced by.”

In their citation, the Pritzker jury also named the pair’s New Museum of Contemporary Art, a mid-rise stack of unevenly sized, white metal blocks that sit atop a transparent glass base on a scruffy street in New York’s lower east side.

The museum moved in December 2007 from its previous location in an up-market SoHo shopping area to the new site in a shabbier part of town.

Nishizawa highlighted that project as embodying the duo’s ambition of creating buildings that are open for all to enjoy.

“We’re always thinking, ‘How we can open up the architecture to the people or to the surroundings that each project has?’ This is one of the reasons why our architecture becomes open and transparent and light,” Nishizawa said.

“This is just to allow people to come in and to allow people to stay within the building as they like,” he said. “The architecture is like a park."

GOING NATURAL: Humans have been eating raw foods since they first began foraging for their sustenance, but the raw foods diet really only began to catch on in recent years. There are now upwards of 100 raw foods restaurants in operation across the U.S.

Does this make sense or is the strange diet making her crazy?

A raw foods diet typically consists of unprocessed foods that are not heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit so as to preserve nutrients otherwise lost during cooking.

Proponents claim that besides losing weight and feeling more energetic, they are also avoiding the carcinogens introduced into foods by cooking and protecting the environment from drug- and chemical-dependent, water-wasting big-business agriculture.

Some people do short spurts on the raw diet to cleanse their system of toxins, while others maintain a majority raw diet but do eat some cooked or processed foods.

Diabetics can especially benefit from a raw foods diet, as shown in the film Simply Raw, which documents the trials and tribulations of six diabetes sufferers who go on a raw foods diet for one month and effectively cure themselves of their disease.

While humans have been eating raw foods since they first began foraging for their sustenance, the diet really began to catch on in recent years when some high-profile celebrities began touting its health and weight maintenance benefits. Carol Alt, Woody Harrelson, Uma Thurman, Sting and Demi Moore are just a few of the big names who swear by the raw foods diet — and now upwards of 100 raw foods restaurants are in operation across the U.S. For a list of raw food eateries by state, check out the

SoyStache website.

Most raw food devotees are vegans, that is, no animal products whatsoever but all the vegetables, sprouts and grains they can muster. Some do eat raw dairy, eggs and even meat — being careful to choose only the freshest stuff so as to avoid getting sick from bacterial contamination.

One shouldn’t embark on a raw foods diet without researching how to make a smooth transition and maintain a proper nutrient balance. Some people hire raw food coaches or consult with nutritionists to walk them through the transition or help them through a cleansing, while others do it themselves with help from friends, natural food store employees, and websites. The Best of Raw Food website, for example, has a plethora of information on how to make the transition. It lists replacement foods for first transitioning to and then maintaining a raw food diet, and provides a tutorial on how to gauge the safety of raw foods.

Those serious about going raw will need a good quality juicer, a blender or food processor, large glass containers to soak and sprout seeds, grains and beans, and mason jars for storing sprouts and other food.

Dehydrators that blow air through food at less than 115 degrees Fahrenheit are also popular accessories.

There are some cautions to keep in mind.

Cathy Wong of About.com warns that some people experience a detox reaction when transitioning, especially if their old diet was rich in meat, sugar and caffeine — but the negative effects (headaches, nausea, cravings) usually only last a few days.

Death of coral reefs could devastate nations BRIAN SKOLOFF Associated Press Writer

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Coral reefs are dying, and scientists and governments around the world are contemplating what will happen if they disappear altogether.

The idea positively scares them.

Coral reefs are part of the foundation of the ocean food chain. Nearly half the fish the world eats make their homes around them.

Hundreds of millions of people worldwide — by some estimates, 1 billion across Asia alone — depend on them for their food and their livelihoods.

If the reefs vanished, experts say, hunger, poverty and political instability could ensue.

“Whole nations will be threatened in terms of their existence,” said Carl Gustaf Lundin of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.

Numerous studies predict coral reefs are headed for extinction worldwide, largely because of global warming, pollution and coastal development, but also because of damage from bottom-dragging fishing boats and the international trade in jewelry and souvenirs made of coral.

At least 19 percent of the world’s coral reefs are already gone, including some 50 percent of those in the Caribbean. An additional 15 percent could be dead within 20 years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Old Dominion University professor Kent Carpenter, director of a worldwide census of marine species, warned that if global warming continues unchecked, all corals could be extinct within 100 years.

"You could argue that a complete collapse of the marine ecosystem would be one of the consequences of losing corals,” Carpenter said. “You’re going to have a tremendous cascade effect for all life in the oceans.”

Exotic and colorful, coral reefs aren’t lifeless rocks; they are made up of living creatures that excrete a hard calcium carbonate exoskeleton. Once the animals die, the rocky structures erode, depriving fish of vital spawning and feeding grounds.

Experts say cutting back on carbon emissions to arrest rising sea temperatures and acidification of the water, declaring some reefs off limits to fishing and diving, and controlling coastal development and pollution could help reverse, or at least stall, the tide.

Florida, for instance, has the largest unbroken “no-take” zone in the continental

U.S. — about 140 square miles off limits to fishing in and around Dry Tortugas National Park, a cluster of islands and reefs teeming with marine life about 70 miles off Key West.

Many fishermen oppose such restrictions. And other environmental measures have run into resistance at the state, local, national and international level. On Sunday, during a gathering of the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, restrictions proposed by the U.S. and Sweden on the trade of some coral species were rejected.

If reefs were to disappear, commonly consumed species of grouper and snapper could become just memories. Oysters, clams and other creatures that are vital to many people’s diets would also suffer. And experts say commercial fisheries would fail miserably at meeting demand for seafood.

“Fish will become a luxury good,” said Cassandra deYoung of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. “You already have a billion people who are facing hunger, and this is just going to aggravate the situation,” she added. “We will not be able to maintain food security around the world.”

The economic damage could be enormous. Ocean fisheries provide direct employment to at least 38 million people worldwide, with an additional 162 million people indirectly involved in the industry, according to the U.N. Coral reefs draw scuba divers, snorkelers and other tourists to seaside resorts in Florida, Hawaii, Southeast Asia and the Caribbean and help maintain some of the world’s finest sandy beaches by absorbing energy from waves. Without the reefs, hotels, restaurants and other businesses that cater to tourists could suffer financially.

Many Caribbean countries get nearly half their gross national product from visitors seeking tropical underwater experiences.

People all over the world could pay the price if reefs were to disappear, since some types of coral and marine species that rely on reefs are being used by the pharmaceutical industry to develop possible cures for cancer, arthritis and viruses.

“A world without coral reefs is unimaginable,” said Jane Lubchenco, a marine biologist who heads NOAA. “Reefs are precious sources of food, medicine and livelihoods for hundreds of thousands around the world. They are also special places of renewal and recreation for thousands more. Their exotic beauty and diverse bounty are global treasures."

Foster care funding on the chopping block

INDIANAPOLIS Indiana is trying to shift hundreds of foster children with medical, emotional or behavioral problems into cheaper care for children without special needs, a move that cuts payments to families who care for the state’s most challenged children.

The change would give foster families less money to pay for therapy, food and clothing and other costs. And some fear that fewer families could volunteer for the job in the future because they’d have to cover the bills themselves.

Foster parents who provide homes for special-needs children are paid up to $100 a day. Under the state’s new plan, many would receive $25 or less.

“Twenty-five bucks a day — it’s not a lot,” said foster parent Terry Blackburn of Brownsburg, Ind., who has fostered more than 100 children with his wife, Ruth. “If you go buy a pair of shoes and a pair of pants for the kid, you’ve already spent your $25.”

The changes, made quietly without public attention, come as officials are attempting to cut $56 million from the cost of providing for the more than 10,000 children who are in the state’s care because they could not remain with their families. The Department of Child Services announced plans in late 2009 to cut payments to those who provide homes for the children by 10 percent.

Overall, the cuts would reduce the state’s costs by about 8 percent by June 2011.

Many other states, including Arizona, California, Missouri, Ohio and Utah, also have cut spending on children’s services because of budget problems. Some states have reduced payments to foster homes or group facilities or considered laying off caseworkers.

“The states are getting pounded, and this is one of the few times I’ve seen child welfare really get hit,” said Michael Petit, president of the advocacy group Every Child Matters.

According to children’s advocates, Indiana put its new policy on special needs children into effect at the beginning of the year when it directed private agencies that specialize in finding foster homes for hardto-place children to begin offering traditional foster care as well. Then, the state began shifting special-needs children into the lower-cost care.

Children who have special needs include pregnant teenagers, victims of sexual abuse, infants born to drug-addicted moms, those with severe medical problems or with behavioral problems that lead them to act violently.

According to placement agencies, a 1year-old boy born with cocaine and marijuana in his system and behavioral problems was placed in traditional care at one facility.

Two siblings who had been sexually abused by relatives, including an 11-year-old girl who vandalized her foster home and threatened her foster mother, also were reclassified.

The state wouldn’t say how many children have been reclassified. But one placement agency official said almost half his special-needs children were downgraded;

another official said all the children at some agencies were affected.

DCS Director James W. Payne said in a Dec. 1 letter to providers that the agency had “reluctantly” ordered the 10 percent cut.

Indiana’s reimbursement rate for the traditional care, which would drop from $25 to $22.50, would remain among the nation’s highest, he said. His letter did not mention shifting the special needs children.

“These have been incredibly difficult deliberations and everyone involved recognizes the magnitude of the decisions being made,” the letter said.

“THEY CAN’T JUST LUMP ALL FOSTER CHILDREN TOGETHER AS ONE CLASSIFICATION. IT JUST DOESN’T WORK,” Judy Hurst Cared for more than 300 foster children

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the cuts and reclassifications after foster parents and private agencies filed suit. The state is appealing the order.

Citing the litigation, DCS spokeswoman Anne Houseworth declined to comment on the cost-cutting measures. But she said the state’s goal is to provide children the care they need while paying less when appropriate.

Foster parents and children’s advocates say if the state prevails in court and proceeds with its plan, many children who need help won’t receive it, and some won’t find homes at all.

“They can’t just lump all foster children together as one classification. It just doesn’t work,” said Judy Hurst of Carthage, Ind., who has cared for more than 300 foster children with severe needs in the last 20 years.

Hurst said she does not know how she and her husband, Denny, could continue at the lower rate.

They keep the doors locked and security cameras rolling at their house east of Indianapolis. Foster children have stolen from them or damaged their home. The Hursts currently are caring for a pregnant teenager and a boy Hurst describes as “probably the most abused child we’ve had in our 20 years.”

“We’ve devoted our whole life to other peoples’ kids,” she said. “We don’t want to stop doing this. We don’t want to stop working with kids.”

Chris Morrison, executive director of the Indiana Foster Care and Adoption Association, said foster and adoptive families can’t shoulder the costs of the special therapy needed.

“There’s this philosophy that’s trying to be promoted that you’re adopting out of love and therefore all of this should come out of your pocket. It’s not a genuine reality,” she said.

Death at CIA prison leads to investigation ADAM GOLDMAN KATHY GANNON Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON More than seven years ago, a suspected Afghan militant was brought to a dimly lit CIA compound northeast of the airport in Kabul. The CIA called it the Salt Pit. Inmates knew it as the dark prison.

Inside a chilly cell, the man was shackled and left half-naked. He was found dead, exposed to the cold, in the early hours of Nov. 20, 2002.

The Salt Pit death was the only fatality known to have occurred inside the secret prison network the CIA operated abroad after the Sept. 11 attacks. The death had strong repercussions inside the CIA. It helped lead to a review that uncovered abuses in detention and interrogation procedures, and forced the agency to change those procedures.

Little has emerged about the Afghan’s death, which the Justice Department is investigating. The Associated Press has learned the dead man’s name, as well as new details about his capture in Pakistan and his Afghan imprisonment.

The man was Gul Rahman, a suspected militant captured on Oct. 29, 2002, a U.S. official familiar with the case confirmed. The official said Rahman was taken during an operation against Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin, an insurgent group headed by Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar (gool-booDEEN’ hek-mat-YAR’) and allied with alQaida.

Rahman’s identity also was confirmed by a former U.S. official familiar with the case, as well as by several other former and current officials. A reference to Rahman’s death also turned up in a recently declassified government document.

The CIA’s program of waterboarding and other harsh treatment of suspected terrorists has been debated since it ended in 2006. The Salt Pit case stands as a cautionary tale about the unfettered use of such practices. The Obama administration shut the CIA’s prisons last year.

It remains uncertain whether any intelligence officers have been punished as a result of the Afghan’s death, raising questions about the CIA’s accountability in the case.

The CIA’s then-station chief in Afghanistan was promoted after Rahman’s death, and the officer who ran the prison went on to other assignments, including one overseas, several former intelligence officials said.

The CIA declined to discuss the Salt Pit case and denied a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by the AP. Rahman was taken into custody in Islamabad with four others. They included Dr. Ghairat Baheer, a physician who is Hekmatyar’s son-in-law and a leader of Hezb-e-Islami, an insurgent faction blamed for numerous bombings and violence in Afghanistan.

Baheer, who said he spent six months in the Salt Pit during six years in Afghan prisons, said in an interview in Islamabad that he never learned what happened to Rahman.

Rahman’s family repeatedly pressed International Red Cross officials about his fate, Baheer said.

"If he died there in interrogation or he died a natural death, they should have told his family and ended their uncertainty,” Baheer said.

This account of the Salt Pit case was

assembled from documents and interviews with both militants and officials in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and with more than two dozen current and former U.S. officials. The Americans spoke on condition of anonymity because the details of the case remain classified.

Rahman vanished before dawn on Oct. 29, 2002.

He had driven from Peshawar, Pakistan, the northwest frontier city known as a haven for insurgents. Leaving behind his wife and four daughters, Rahman had come to Islamabad for a medical checkup and was staying with Baheer, an old friend.

Rahman, in his early 30s, had worked as a driver for Baheer and in the mid-1990s as a guard for Hekmatyar, who is designated a global terrorist by the U.S. About 1:30 a.m., U.S. agents and Pakistani security forces stormed Baheer’s house and arrested him, two guards, a cook and Rahman.

After a week in custody, Rahman was separated from the others. “That was the last time I saw him,” said Baheer, now a member of a Hezb-e-Islami delegation that met this month in Kabul, the Afghan capital, for peace talks with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

Baheer said he was flown to Afghanistan and taken to the Salt Pit, the code name for an abandoned brick factory that became a forerunner of the network of secret CIA-run prisons operating from Poland to Thailand.

The Salt Pit contained a patchwork of small, windowless cells where detainees were subjected to harsh treatment and at least one mock execution, according to several former CIA officials.

"I was left naked, sleeping on the barren concrete,” said Baheer. His toilet was a bucket. Loudspeakers blared. Guards concealed their identity with masks and carried torches.

Baheer said his American interrogators would tie him to a chair and sit on his stomach. They hung him naked, he said, for hours on end.

As a former Hekmatyar guard, Rahman had a militant’s history. His nom de guerre was Abdul Manan. “Some time ago, he was with the jihad,” Baheer acknowledged.

That description matches recollections of former and current U.S. officials who said the Afghan brought into the Salt Pit in late 2002 was violently uncooperative.

At one point, the detainee threw a latrine bucket at his guards. He also threatened to kill them. His stubborn responses provoked harsher treatment. His hands were shackled over his head, he was roughed up and doused with water, according to several former CIA officials.

The exact circumstances of Rahman’s death are not clear, but the Afghan was left in the cold cell on the morning of Nov. 20, when the temperature dipped just below 36 degrees. He was naked from the waist down, said two former U.S. officials familiar with the case. Within hours, he was dead.

CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., sent a team “to gather the facts,” the current U.S. official said. “The guidance was for the people on scene to preserve everything as it was.”

A CIA medic at the site concluded the Afghan died of hypothermia. A doctor sent later confirmed that judgment. But the detainee’s body was never returned to his family for burial.

Funky Venice thrives FROM VENICE PAGE 3 selling and even fistfights over spaces.

“It’s been a busy winter. People are trying to make ends meet and they don’t know the rules,” said Los Angeles police Sgt. Marc Reina. “We try to mediate and keep the peace, but it’s crowded and they want to sell.

It’s a challenge.”

More officers will be added to patrol the summer pandemonium, he added.

Venice has been known as an enclave of funky free expression since the 1950s when the neighborhood was a hub of soap-box politics and beatnik poets, luring the likes of The Doors’ Jim Morrison.

These days, visitors come for its famed Muscle Beach weightlifting area, a meandering bike path, a new skateboarding park, as well as drum jam sessions and the culture of a tie-dye time warp where the scent of marijuana often wafts on the ocean breeze.

Venice has also gotten increasingly commercial. In 2008, after vendors sued the city over access to the seaside strip, the city adopted a complex set of rules to preserve the area’s artistic bent and cut the hucksterism.

The ordinance says vendors can only sell artwork such as jewelry, photographs, or paintings, or items that are “inextricably intertwined” with a person’s artistic or social message. That would include, for instance, a T-shirt with a slogan advocating a cause.

Violators can be ticketed.

Storeowners and artists say the regulations worked for a while, but since the economy nosedived, the boardwalk has gotten out of control with increasing number of vendors selling commercial items, such as computer mouses and incense, crowding out longtime artists selling their work, performers and political advocates.

Vendor Mike Hunt, for example, requests donations for shea butter soap, which he says is part of his “social message” touting the benefits of natural African products and, being African-American, part of his heritage.

For a $10 “donation,” Hunt gives a

customer a soap and bath salts and a spiel on shea butter’s healing properties.

Police say the social message clause makes enforcing the ordinance against commercial vendors nearly impossible.

“It’s very difficult for an officer to decipher what that means,” Reina said.

“We’re not going to enforce anything like that.”

Artists and merchants resent vendors’ taking advantage of that loophole to sell items often sold in the stores and take spaces away from artists.

“They’re not paying taxes or business licenses,”said Mike Dolkert, co-owner of Indigenous, which sells Native American items.

Steve Heumann, who runs the busy Sidewalk Cafe, advocates forming a city agency to vet sellers and ferret out the frauds.

Venice’s residents also bristle at the growing unruliness. Although many residents say Venice’s free spirit attracts them to the neighborhood, some admit it can get to be a headache.

Cracking open a beer on the sunny porch of his beachside apartment, Ted Johan said he loves the sideshow, except for a man who blows a birdwhistle outside his window all day.

“You don’t come here for quiet, but people need to be respectful of others,” Johan said. “I wish he would move around.”

Homeowners, particularly a new wave of residents moving into modern multi-million-dollar remodels of modest bungalows, have been pushing for crackdowns on musicians playing into the night and some of Venice’s seedier elements such as transients sleeping on the beach.

Police have responded, recently rounding up 50 homeless people in a sweep and referring them to social services.

Striking a balance between Venice’s Bohemian tradition and residents’ rights, artists and vendors is a constant struggle that’s been magnified with the dour economy, said 15-year resident Mike Newhouse, who heads the Venice Neighborhood Council.

Bee saving program would be staffed by volunteers FROM BEES PAGE 1 aside a 500 square-foot to 1,000 square-foot plot of land near the airport to become a temporary holding area for honeybees.

Volunteers from the Los Angeles County beekeeping community would respond to calls reporting swarms and would take the bees to the temporary yard inside the city limits. Later, the volunteers would transfer the bees to rural bee yards where they could resume their lives as useful pollinators.

“With the crisis of colony collapse disorder, it’s never been so important for all communities — urban and rural — to promote beekeeping,” Salisbury wrote.

A number of big cities around the country allow beekeeping, Salisbury said, including Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Portland and San Francisco.

Susan Mearns, a task force member, said she supported Salisbury’s proposal after learning about the severity of colony collapse disorder. Changing City Hall’s stance on beekeeping should be a no-brainer, she said.

“The city of Santa Monica prides itself on

being a sustainable city and yet has an ordinance on the books that actually prohibits the sustainable culture of beekeeping and advocates destroying bee hives,” Mearns said.

The City Council hasn’t decided whether to take up the proposal.

Councilman Kevin McKeown, who acts as a liaison to the Task Force on the Environment, said he’s been working with Salisbury on the issue for the past year but is waiting for additional information from City Hall staff before deciding whether to place the proposal on a council agenda in coming months.

But, he said he’s on board with Salisbury’s concept.

“Capturing and relocating viable bee swarms into hives where they serve agriculture or just the pollination needs of wildflowers makes sustainable sense, as long as the collection doesn't turn into a sting operation for innocent bystanders,” McKeown said. nickt@smdp.com

Rulings continue to muddle law FROM COURTS PAGE 3 Prosecutors are backing away from some cases filed before the court ruling.

“Gray is not a good color for the law,” said Shasta County District Attorney Gerald Benito, who dismissed a case earlier this month and is considering dropping several more because of the ruling. “It makes it very difficult for us to enforce the law — I think everyone is crying out for a clear line.”

Benito cited the Supreme Court ruling in dropping charges on March 5 against James Bradley Hall, who was arrested in October and charged with growing 40 marijuana plants.

The next week, a San Francisco jury acquitted a father and son charged with growing three dozen plants. The lawyers for Thomas Chang, 62, and his son, Errol Chang, 30, based their defense on the Kelly case, arguing that the men needed that much pot to treat their medical conditions.

In Vacaville, located between San Francisco and Sacramento, prosecutors in February dropped their two-year pursuit of Johanna and Joe Azevedo, a husband and wife charged with possessing about two pounds of marijuana. Both sides agreed to put the Azevedo case on hold until the Supreme Court decided the Kelly case.

“Fighting this pretty well drained what little money we had,” Johanna Azevedo said of her legal fight with Solano County prosecutors. “But it was a very happy day when the Kelly case was announced.”

Still, not all defense attorneys and marijuana advocates are as content with the ruling as the Azevedos and others who had their criminal cases dropped.

Some argue that clear-cut limits actually would shield medical marijuana patients from law enforcement officials who have a strict interpretation of what constitutes a “reasonable” amount.

“I wish there was a bright line,” said Bruce Margolin, one of the nation’s most renowned marijuana defense attorneys. “It’s the only protection against arrest.”

A closely-watched Sacramento case was expected to help clarify what a reasonable amount of medical marijuana is. But it further muddied the question.

The jury acquitted Matthew Zugsberger of a felony possession charge but convicted him of a felony charge of marijuana transportation for trying to take three pounds of marijuana from the Sacramento airport to New Orleans in 2008. The jury, which deliberated for more than three days, also convicted Zugsberger of a misdemeanor possession charge. In the end, nothing was solved.

“The jury was absolutely confused,” said his attorney Grant Pegg. “What is reasonable is an absolutely gray area.”

Despite the confusion, there does not appear to be a political push to develop guidelines, which the Supreme Court said must be done by voters.

Law enforcement lobbying arms, such as the California District Attorney Association, steer clear of most medical marijuana issues because of the wide variety of views of the law.

“It is different than a lot of areas in criminal law where there is a consensus,” said W. Scott Thorpe, chief executive of the district attorney’s association. “There are varying approaches from county to county in the way law enforcement is dealing with medical marijuana laws."

AT WEST FACING BREAKS, BUT TRASHED.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. Clayton Kershaw got regular-season results in no time at all.

Kershaw struck out seven in six strong innings Sunday, getting the better of Bronson Arroyo in a matchup of No. 2 starters, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 in a game that took only two hours, 16 minutes.

“Clayton seemed really comfortable,” manager Joe Torre said. “He threw 99 pitches. That’s pretty good. It’s almost a full game.”

Kershaw will have one more spring start before he opens the season behind Vicente Padilla in the rotation. Kershaw is on schedule to start the Dodgers’ home opener April 13 against Arizona. He gave up six hits on Sunday, including Wladimir Balentien’s runscoring single in the fourth inning.

The left-hander has allowed only three earned runs in 16 innings this spring.

“I think we’re about as close as we’re going to get to the real thing,” Kershaw said.

“Everything feels good. It was like a regular game. I established my fastball. Going deep into the game, I used all my pitches. The last three innings, it was all coming together.”

Arroyo nearly matched him, giving up five hits in six innings with a pair of strikeouts. Blake DeWitt and Andre Ethier had RBI singles for Los Angeles.

Arroyo overcame a flare-up of carpal tunnel syndrome last spring. With the help of cortisone shots, he made it through the season and led the staff with 15 wins and 33 starts, then decided not to have surgery in

the offseason. The right-hander has given up playing the guitar — his favorite hobby — and writing to avoid another flare-up.

“My hand’s been good,” he said. “I haven’t been writing or playing guitar at all, so it’s been nice. I thought maybe I was going to get a cortisone shot to start the year, but I feel pretty good there, too.”

He threw 75 pitches in his six innings, which went so smoothly that he jogged to the bullpen and threw 30 more to build his stamina heading into the season.

“My command is really good,” he said. “I haven’t felt as strong as I wanted to most times out, but I’m not too worried about that. As long as my command is there and I’m hitting my spots and changing speeds, the other one will come.”

NOTES: Dodgers C Russell Martin made the trip to Goodyear, but went across the street to Cleveland’s training complex and caught seven innings in a game against the Indians’ Triple-A team. Martin strained his groin on March 6 and is working back into shape. He’ll catch again on Tuesday. “We have to back him off a little,” Torre said.

“He’s caught a few days in a row.” ... Reds closer Francisco Cordero allowed one hit in one scoreless inning. He hasn’t given up a run in any of his eight appearances covering nine innings. ... CF Drew Stubbs went 1 for 4, extending his hitting streak to nine games. ... Dodgers reliever Ronald Belisario had his first day in camp after missing the first five weeks of spring because of visa problems. He disputed the Dodgers’ accounts that he was late because he missed meetings to resolve his visa issues in his native Venezuela.

This was our message in the 1970’s...

Some things just don’t change

Some people look at is as security. Some as an investment. And some as just good practical sense. There are all kinds of insurance plans available to see that your beneficiaries are properly protected if you should die. God forbid.

Let others around you vent, Aries ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ You could be dealing with a difficult person. You can try to energize this person, but your impact will be negligible. Pressure builds around work and a boss. Know when to back off. Tonight: Let others vent.

★★★★★ Know that you are on a high cycle and probably hard to stop. Nevertheless, others could toss a boomerang or two in your path.

You'll skip right over, though you might want to make a note to rethink a certain personal situation. Tonight: Only what you want.

Garfield

By Jim Davis

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★ If you feel that you have more than your fair share on your plate, you are right. Take breaks, relax and know what you want.

Consider taking a class to brush up on a skill, or going back to school in your chosen field.

Tonight: Know when to vanish.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★ If you feel a bit out of sorts, back off or take your leave. You might need time to come up with a better idea or a better way to communicate what is on your mind. Tap into your intuition when dealing with a boss. Tonight: A must appearance.

Strange Brew

By John Deering

Speed Bump

By Dave Coverly

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ Where others hit a logjam, you discover another route. Your creativity marks the next few days. You could feel pressured by someone's expectations. Let go and allow others to be themselves. Tonight: Let your imagination rock and roll.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★ You are coming from a place of security when making decisions. Key people are pushing you in another direction. Let a partnership evolve and become closer. Don't play into a control game. Tonight: Happy at home.

★★★ You could be seeing a situation differently from many people. You might be looking at a change in how you project yourself, especially if you are hitting a wall in your path. Take charge. Others naturally look up to you.

Tonight: Don't forget a family member!

★★★★★ Use a meeting to maximize your ability to create success and to encourage others' support. Don't completely shoulder a risk. Say "no." Juggle different concerns. Tonight: Whatever puts a smile on your face.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Keep discussions flowing. How you express dissatisfaction could change with time and thought. You could surprise someone with how vocal you can be. Try to detach some and understand your responses. Tonight: Catch up on a friend's news.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ Keep the big picture in mind. You are able to make it past a problem because of your total perspective. A partner or associate could be lobbying for more of your time. A discussion might help, but you need to take action.

Tonight: Let your mind wander.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ Be sensitive to your needs and your limitations. Though someone might cheer you on, the path you are considering might not be the best. Creativity bubbles up from out of nowhere and could encourage risking, like it or not. Tonight: Walk a conservative path.

Happy birthday

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ Your ability to relate openly is tested. You might wonder what is happening with a business or financial agreement. You might be in the process of re-evaluating your decisions and course of action. Put 100 percent into a project. Tonight: Listen to a friend or loved one's suggestion.

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

This year, you frequently see situations as either-or. You are very creative and dynamic; others are clearly drawn to you. You learn that often both sides of an issue are relevant, and discover ways of accepting both possibilities. Your work and relationships with higher-ups and the community transform. Avoid power plays at any cost. If you are single, quite a few suitors might desire you, but which one is right for you?

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.

CHUCK

SHEPARD

■ Later this year, manufacturer Organovo, of San Diego, will begin shipping its $200,000 ink-jet-type printers that create living organs for patients needing transplants.

The 3-D "bioprinter" works by spraying extracted microscopic cells on top of each other, in pass after pass. On the bioprinter's equivalent of a sheet of paper, and under laboratory conditions, the cells fuse together and grow for weeks until an organ substantial enough for research use is created (and ultimately, substantial enough for human transplants).

The bioprinter is faster than growing such organs from scratch, which scientists at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine have been doing for several years.

■ If you're wearing a ski mask and carrying a gun and walk into a store to rob it, but there are no employees there to rob, and you abort, is that an "attempted robbery"? Sanjuan Reyes, 22, and two teenagers were arrested in Joliet, Ill., in January and charged with attempting to rob the Supermercado Viva Mexico. Two acted as lookouts while the youngest, wearing a ski mask and wielding an air pistol, entered the store. Apparently, the only employees on duty were in the back room. The boy waited for a minute or so, then bailed out, and the three fled empty-handed.

Joliet's deputy police chief said a crime was committed.
