THE KIDS RUN THE OFFICE ISSUE

Plaintiff who sued City Hall faces perjury proceedings

BY NICK TABOREK Daily Press Staff Writer

CITY HALL When it landed on her desk, the

“Santa Monica is doing some innovative and groovy things [for bike riders], but they are falling short in several areas, one of them being the lack of bike parking Downtown,” Rose, a Santa Monica resident and member of the bike advocacy group Santa Monica Spoke, said. “For some rea-

case was like scores of others that Debra Kanoff has handled during her nearly threedecade career in the Santa Monica City Attorney’s Office: A man who had boarded a Big Blue Bus claimed he’d been injured when the driver closed the door on him.

Now he wanted to get paid.

As a lawyer in her office’s civil division, it was Kanoff ’s job to defend City Hall against the allegations. She followed her normal routine, locating the video tape from the bus system’s on-board surveillance system that showed the incident in question.

The plaintiff, David Hamodot, claimed in court papers he had been “thrown to the ground” by the bus door, causing him pain and suffering that required “extensive medical and chiropractic” care.

The video tape, though, told a different story. Kanoff said it clearly showed the plaintiff ’s claims were — to say the least — trumped up. Armed with the evidence, she was quickly able to get Hamodot’s lawyer to drop the $35,000 suit against City Hall.

For many attorneys, that’s where the story would have ended — an easy win in an open and shut case.

But not for Kanoff.

“I feel that I need to bring problems to the right people so they’ll be addressed,” she said. “I think it’s the right thing to do.”

So she took the video tape to the Santa Monica Police Department, where officers forwarded it on to the District Attorney, who filed a felony perjury charge against Hamodot.

More than a year after the alleged incident took place, Kanoff is set to testify for the prosecution in the criminal case against Hamodot on June 15 at the LAX Courthouse.

City Hall to add over 170 bike racks Downtown

BY KEVIN HERRERA Editor in Chief

DOWNTOWN Cynthia Rose is the type of shopper city officials are trying to attract here. She’s local and she doesn’t drive.

Instead of adding to traffic congestion, Rose likes to run errands on her bicycle, making more parking available for others.

But that’s the problem. While drivers

may have a secure place to park their cars, Rose doesn’t believe there are enough safe locations to properly lock up her bike, so she either avoids Downtown or takes her car.

It is illegal to lock a bike up to a tree and bikers have recently complained about Bayside District ambassadors telling them not to use public benches or chairs either or risk getting their locks clipped and bikes

COMMUNITY BRIEFS DOWNTOWN

Dylan to rock Heal the Bay Singer-songwriter Jakob Dylan will help environmental group Heal the Bay celebrate its 25th anniversary by offering a special benefit performance at its Bring Back the Beach gala dinner on May 20.

Held on the sand at The Jonathan Beach Club, the gala is dubbed “An Evening Under The Stars.” Nearly 1,000 guests will join together to recognize the eco-accomplishments of Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage, The Walt Disney Company, environmental engineer and business leader Jack Baylis, and longtime Heal the Bay boardmember and fundraiser Luann Laval Williams.

Dylan recently released his new album “Women and Country,” the follow-up to his 2008 debut solo album “Seeing Things.”

The album was recorded in Los Angeles, and is the full realization of a journey Dylan began on “Seeing Things,” which harkens back to the timeless artistry of American roots music and the country blues masters.

The singer-songwriter has previously released five albums as the frontman of platinum-selling, Grammy-winning band The Wallflowers.

“Jakob Dylan is an ocean lover and a thoughtful musician,” said Mark Gold, president of Heal the Bay. “So it’s an honor to have his artistry help support our cause and entertain our guests.”

Dylan has donated his services for the night to benefit Heal the Bay and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.

Bring Back the Beach is attended each year by influential leaders from entertainment, business, political and environmental communities. Information on sponsorship benefits and ticketing is available at www.healthebay.org/bbb.

Heal the Bay is a nonprofit environmental organization dedicated to making Southern California coastal waters and watersheds, including Santa Monica Bay, safe, healthy and clean. Heal the Bay uses research, education, community action and advocacy to pursue its mission.

Peservationists fight to save first freeway DAISY NGUYEN Associated Press Writer

LOS ANGELES You don’t typically hear Southern Californians rhapsodize about a freeway.

But the 8.2-mile route between Downtown Los Angeles and suburban Pasadena isn’t typical.

Opened in 1940, the oldest freeway in the West follows the meanders of the Arroyo Seco wash past parks and lush embankments, and under bridges and through tunnels built with the elegance of a bygone era.

Known variously as the Arroyo Seco Parkway, the Pasadena Freeway or simply “the 110,” it also carries motorists past some of the city’s oldest — and toughest — neighborhoods as its tight curves open and close views of mountain peaks and skyscrapers.

Since 1967

Squinting to shut out thoroughly modern gang graffiti and the mangled plastic debris of 21st century auto mashups, it’s still possible to envision a Ford Model A wending its way to Los Angeles or a stately General Motors LaSalle carrying an oil baron home to one of the old school mansions of Pasadena.

That’s why preservationists are crying foul over the freeway’s first major improvement project in 70 years, a $17 million effort to line the original six miles of the route with new concrete barriers and lighting.

They complain that the work will remove historic features that define its character and that the additions don’t have a sufficiently authentic appearance.

“The Arroyo Seco Parkway is a real gem.

I don’t think people fully appreciate that yet and I think they’ll regret the damage that’s being caused,” said Paul Daniel Marriott,

author of “Saving Historic Roads.”

The route represents a transitional period in American highway construction when planners were moving away from the parkways popularized on the East Coast for leisure driving to building roads for highspeed, efficient travel, Marriott said.

Its design melded lush landscaping with six lanes allowing commuters to reach speeds of 45 mph.

Many of its elements became prototypes for the modern freeway, so much so that by the 1950s, when Los Angeles was emerging as a car capital, the parkway’s name evolved to the Pasadena Freeway.

“This is where we come from, this is where our freeways evolved from,” said Nicole Possert, a community activist leading the preservation effort. “This was a testing ground for what was to become the California freeway system.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

My Write

Send comments to editor@smdp.com

Bill Bauer

Thanks for the support Editor:

The Santa Monica Daily Press deserves applause for its editorial supporting Measure A, the local school funding measure to protect our Santa Monica-Malibu schools. PTA members throughout our district believe that Measure A is absolutely necessary to both protect the high quality education for local students and to ensure the fiscal integrity of our outstanding local public school system.

We have exceptional local schools in Santa Monica and Malibu. Our schools, however, are adversely affected by significant cuts in state funding to K-12 public education in recent years. More than 70 percent of the district’s funds come from the state; however, the state has cut an average of $10 million per year over the past two years from funds owed to our local schools. More revenue cuts are likely this year. As a result, we could lose up to one in eight of our outstanding teachers, lose counselors and librarians, increase class sizes, and cut back instruction in core academics, which will compromise the quality of schools in our community.

Measure A will provide the district about $5.8 million per year for five years. Measure A expenditures are subject to citizen oversight and independent annual audits. None of these funds can be used for administrator salaries. Most importantly, these locally generated funds cannot be taken away by the state.

Our district has excellent financial management practices. PTA takes its role as an organization advocating for the health, education and welfare of every child very seriously, and thus has representation at virtually all Board of Education meetings. The budget process is very transparent in our district. This view is supported by the independent citizens oversight watchdog, SMMUSD’s Financial Oversight Committee, as well as by the independent national financial rating agencies including Standards & Poors, which has awarded the district one of the highest credit ratings of any school district in California.

The coalition supporting Measure A is broad and diverse — parents and teachers, senior citizens and youth organizations, business and labor, and officials of every one of our neighborhood associations, along with hundreds of individual supporters.

We urge all voters to say YES on Measure A. More information is available at www.SaveSantaMonicaMalibuSchools.org.

Local politics spring to mind THERE’S PROBABLY NO BETTER PLACE TO

catch up on the gossip than at a big community gathering. The Santa Monica Festival at Clover Park on Saturday, May 8, was the perfect venue.

It was a beautiful spring day, so Clover Park was packed with festival-goers. Local politicians and wanna-be politicos strolled the exhibits and being that this is an election year, everyone wanted to talk. One topic on everyone’s mind was the fall municipal elections.

Some new faces may run for City Council. I promised not to reveal one name but she’s been active with numerous Santa Monica service organizations and her run for the council dais could be very interesting.

All three council incumbents will seek reelection. Bob Holbrook, who has already served 20 years on the dais, will seek a sixth term. Pam O’Connor previously said she is going for a fifth term and already has a campaign organization in place and is raising money — primarily from developers and real estate interests. Kevin McKeown, the No. one vote getter in 2006, will seek a fourth term.

The 2010 election is unique because there are the usual three four-year seats up for reelection and two, two-year interim seats.

With the passings of Herb Katz and Ken Genser, two mid-term council seats are open. Council candidates must specify whether they’re running for two-year or four-year seats.

Appointees Gleam Davis and Terry O’Day will have to come in first and second among candidates running for two-year terms to serve out the last half of Katz’ and Genser’s terms. Rent Control Commissioner Robert Kronovet has already announced he is running for a two-year seat.

Davis and/or O’Day could also decide to run for a four-year seat instead and challenge the three incumbents. It is generally believed that at least two of the three incumbents are strong enough to easily hold their seats. With a large number of challengers expected to run for the full terms, the odds may be better for those seeking the two-year seats, which may attract fewer challengers.

Scuttlebutt is that O’Connor may not get the Santa Monicans for Renters’ Rights endorsement at their Annual Congress in early August. Many City Hall watchers still think that if she doesn’t, she’ll jump ship and go with a business-backed slate consisting of O’Day and Holbrook.

Veteran developer/hotel lobbyist and behind-thescenes power player Kim Karie is hitting up developers, big hotels, real-estate interests

and other deep-pocket sources for both O’Day and O’Connor, which portends a large war chest for a business and developer-backed team.

On the other side, SMRR members will probably endorse McKeown, Davis and Jennifer Kennedy (currently on the Rent Control Board) and/or planning commissioner Ted Winterer, who ran for council and finished fifth in 2008. O’Day has friends in SMRR and he may try for the group’s endorsement, but I’m still hearing he won’t prevail. School board member Oscar de la Torre has announced he’s running for council, but word is that some SMRR leaders want him to stay on school board for a third term.

At Clover Park, the complaint heard most often was a condemnation of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Board of Education. There was a lot of talk about finding candidates to retire Barry Snell, Kelly Pye and de la Torre, whose terms expire this fall.

Chris Bley, who came in a close fourth for school board in 2006, has been mentioned as electable if he should run again. I’ve heard from multiple sources that Community for Excellent Public Schools co-founder Laurie Lieberman (wife of land-use attorney Chris Harding) has said she’ll run for school board. Lieberman and CEPS have been driving forces behind most of the district’s recent bond and parcel tax measures.

MISINFORMATION DOES ME IN

Last week, I wrote that the Campaign for Quality Public Schools parcel tax committee had not filed “any financial disclosure statements” and was in violation of Fair Political Practices Commission regulations.

I had been repeatedly told by both the FPPC and the L.A. County RegistrarRecorder/County Clerk the committee had not filed campaign statements.

I had also searched City Hall’s Public Access Portal and neither the name of the committee or their FPPC number came up.

Knowing that the opposition “No on A” committee, had been instructed both by the FPPC and the county registrar to file with the county, I went with the information I had believing it to be accurate.

To set the record straight, it now appears that information I received was wrong and the CFQPS did file their disclosure statements as required by law, but with the Santa Monica City Clerk, after all. I regret the error and regret having called their campaign practices “sleazy” as a result of the misinformation I had received.

Drilling critics warn of spill in Arctic Ocean DAN JOLING Associated Press Writer

ANCHORAGE, Alaska Inupiat Eskimo whale hunter George Kingik follows news accounts of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. He cringes when he imagines crude fouling his backyard, Alaska’s Chukchi Sea. “They’re not ready for the Arctic,” Kingik said from his home in Point Hope, 700 miles northwest of Anchorage. “It’s completely different up here.”

Shell Oil two years ago spent $2.1 billion for leases in the Chukchi, the arm of the Arctic Ocean that the United States shares with Russia, and the home to one of America’s two polar bear populations.

The federal Minerals Management Service estimated the sale area contained 15 billion barrels of conventionally recoverable oil and 77 trillion cubic feet of conventionally recoverable natural gas. Shell is poised to begin exploratory drilling this summer on leases as far as 140 miles off shore.

Alaska Native groups and environmentalists are hoping a judge or the Obama administration will intervene.

Shell notched a significant court victory last week when the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected consolidated lawsuits that challenged Minerals Management Service approval of the oil company’s plans.

The court determined that the MMS met its obligations to consider the potential threat of exploratory drilling to wildlife and the risk for disaster before it approved Shell’s Arctic Ocean projects.

Shell spokesman Curtis Smith said the company awaits appeals of required federal air permits before it can send its drilling ship north to the Chukchi and Beaufort seas off Alaska’s northwest and north coast. The company also needs a final Interior Department blessing and authorizations on several wildlife issues.

Alaska’s indigenous people and environmentalists say a catastrophic spill in the Chukchi would leave the petroleum company without backup resources considered routine in the rest of the country.

The nearest Coast Guard base is Kodiak, more than 900 air miles away. Nearby coastal communities such as Point Hope are tiny and lack deep-water harbors and large airports.

Cleanup assets are stationed at Prudhoe Bay, hundreds of miles away on Alaska’s north coast. Unlike at Prince William Sound, where more than 300 fishing boats are under contract to lay down boom if another supertanker hits a reef like the Exxon Valdez, there’s no one to call for local assistance.

If a blowout occurred late in the summer, it could be impossible for another rig to arrive and drill a relief well before the water freezes,

leaving a well to flow until it plugged itself or spill response vessels reached it the following summer, according to drilling opponents.

Shell’s 514-foot drilling ship, the Frontier Discoverer, could be in place by July. Smith said Shell can drill safely and that it’s not fair to draw parallels between drilling in the relatively shallow Chukchi and the Gulf of Mexico.

“The (Deepwater) Horizon was drilling in 5,000 feet of water to a depth of 18,000 feet,” he said by e-mail. “The pressure they encountered in the well is three to five times greater than what we expect to encounter in Alaska, where we will be drilling in 150 feet of water to a depth of roughly 10,000 feet.”

The difference in expected down-hole pressure, he said, gives Shell a higher safety margin.

“We would have significantly more time to identify and respond to a downhole event,” he said. If its blowout preventer failed, the weight of drilling mud remaining in the well would effectively shut-off the well, he said.

Margaret Williams, a World Wildlife Fund director in Anchorage, said, “The point is it could happen. We saw the state-of-theart technology go wrong in the gulf.”

The Minerals Management Service and Shell have touted advances in Arctic oil spill research and cleanup in water choked with ice. Williams said advances have not been tested outside of optimal lab and field conditions. Burning requires thick, pooled oil. The ability to detect and track oil in and under ice remains unproven, according to the WWF. The Chukchi Sea, frozen most of the year, rarely offers optimal conditions.

Summertime temperatures in the 40s and gale-force winds are common. Heavy fog can restrict visibility.

Shell’s exploration plan states that the chances for a catastrophic spill are minimal.

"A large oil spill, such as a crude release from a blowout, is extremely rare and not considered a reasonably foreseeable impact,” it said. The Minerals Management Service agreed, concluding, “the probability of a large spill occurring during exploration is insignificant.”

Rebecca Noblin, an Anchorage-based attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, said the analysis was dubious last year and without merit now.

“In light of the recent catastrophic oil spill occurring in the Gulf of Mexico from BP’s exploration drilling, such a position is now clearly untenable,” she said.

Smith said Shell is prepared for the worstcase scenario — a spill of 5,500 barrels per day. The company is accompanying the drill ship with a flotilla of about a dozen boats, including a response vessel, a storage tanker, barges, skimmer vessels and a tug. Smith said Shell has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in “response assets.”

paints. Some greener and healthier options are now available, though, such as water-mixable oil paints that clean up with water instead of chemicals, and GLOB paints, made from food-grade botanical extracts, colored by real fruits, vegetables, flowers and spices, and free of chemicals.

Problem with paints Dear EarthTalk At a meeting of a local art association, an artist who paints in acrylics said that doing so is more eco-friendly than painting in oils. I somehow doubt it. Aren’t acrylics petroleum based? And aren’t some oil paints made from natural materials?

Linda Reddington via e-mail

OF COURSE, THERE ARE NO EASY

answers. There are environmental and health issues with both oil and acrylic art paints.

The big downside of oil paints is the paint thinner required to clean them up. While some of the pigments in oil paint might be toxic or poisonous depending on color — reds, yellows, some blues and many whites are produced using potentially toxic heavy metals — the paint itself is typically made of food-grade linseed oil, which could hardly be more harmless to the environment (where it came from, after all). But oil paint is notoriously hard to clean up; getting those brushes, palettes and work areas clean requires the use of paint thinners, such as turpentine or mineral spirits, that are not only potentially toxic if used improperly but give off noxious odors and are highly flammable.

As for acrylic paints, they are water-based so clean-up is a breeze: Just wash it down the drain with some warm water, no paint thinner required. But acrylic paint is a petroleum-derived polymer, i.e. plastic. While cleaning it up might be easier than cleaning up oil paints, do we really want to be rinsing plastic down our drains? How good could this be for surrounding ecosystems? The other negative, of course, is that just buying them contributes to our reliance on petroleum.

So what’s a green painter to do? One option is to go for so-called water mixable oil paints that, according to manufacturers like Grumbacher, appear and behave in the same manner as traditional oil paints in

every aspect except when it comes to cleanup — like acrylics, they thin and clean up with water instead of noxious chemicals.

Water mixable oils are ideal for those sensitive to chemical fumes. Art supply chain Utrecht sells a wide variety of water mixable oil paints online and at its retail locations across the U.S. If you must use traditional oil paints — many professional artists just prefer them for their thickness, color brilliance and other qualities — you can go with a brand that pays attention to the environmental impact of its products and operations. Oregonbased Gamblin Artists Colors Company uses only high-quality raw materials in its paints, avoiding preservatives that degrade the quality and release chemicals. Gamsol, the company’s paint thinner, uses mineral spirits that evaporate much more slowly than turpentine, which has a reputation for irritating breathing passages and inducing nausea.

Every spring the company cleans its machinery, and instead of throwing the filter dust out, it recycles it and gives away tubes of the resulting gray paint free to artists through retail locations, and hosts a contest for art created with the unique color.

Another way to go would be truly all-natural. Berkeley, California-based GLOB crafts its paints from food-grade botanical extracts, so it’s even safe for kids aged three and older. Colored by real fruits, vegetables, flowers and spices, GLOB paints are all-natural, non-toxic, and free of chemicals, parabens, petroleum and synthetic preservatives. The palette is limited to just six colors, but creative artists should be able to mix to their heart’s content. The paints can be mail ordered, and they come in a dry powdered format, which saves weight, money and energy when shipped — users add water and start painting.

Some things just don’t change

Brandon Wise brandonw@smdp.com LOCK DOWN: Some bike riders lock their bicycles to trees like this one on the Third Street Promenade.

Bike to work May 20 FROM RACKS PAGE 1 son bike racks are few and far between and most of the time they are full.”

City Hall plans to change that. In the coming months, city transportation officials will be installing over 400 bike racks throughout the city, with more than 170 in Downtown, thanks to a $200,000 grant, said Annette Colfax, City Hall’s transportation demand program manager. The cash comes from Proposition C, a half-cent sales tax measure approved

by Los Angeles County voters in 1990 to fund critical transportation projects and programs.

In this fiscal year, approximately 172 bike racks are planned for Downtown, including 50 racks on the Third Street Promenade. Officials with the Bayside District Corp., a public-private management company that overseas Downtown, will be working with city planners to find proper locations to install the racks and are taking input from bike riders, including members of Santa Monica Spoke.

There’s also the question of which racks to purchase.

A large number will be located in the parking structures adjacent to the mall, Colfax said. The racks will be secured by some type of enclosure and those who park there will purchase for a nominal fee an access card to retrieve their bikes.

Showers would also be installed for those commuting to work, she said.

Approximately another 250 racks are planned for other areas in the city: Montana Avenue (25), Ocean Park (25), Main Street (35), the Santa Monica Pier (35) and other locations (80).

Last week, 18 more racks were installed at the Main Library, replacing two parking spaces on the surface lot, Colfax said.

The key is to locate the racks in places that are convenient and where riders will feel comfortable, said Bryan Beretta, a member of Santa Monica Spoke who uses his cargo bike to get groceries. Riders want to leave their bikes in areas where there are a lot of eyes to watch over them. Riders almost prefer locking their bikes where they can see them and others, too. Lighting is also important at night as is proximity to businesses.

“You can’t have bike racks in alleys or in dark parking garages with low visibility,” Beretta said.

Some might think riders like Rose and Beretta are just paranoid, but the statistics prove they have reason to worry about the safety of their bicycles, some of which can cost thousands of dollars.

In April, there were 39 reported bicycle thefts compared to 30 the year before. Over the first for months of 2010, there have been 136 bicycles reported stolen, a 13 percent increase compared to the same period in 2009, said Santa Monica Police Department’s Sgt. Jay Trisler.

The police department recommends bike riders purchase a durable “U-Lock” that can be secured around a tire, the bicycle frame and a rack. Small chains and more expensive “cable” locks have been easily cut, officers said.

Attorney takes the extra step FROM CASE PAGE 1 see it as part of my job as a good citizen of this country. When you see something that’s not right, you should stand up and report it.”

Attempts to reach Hamodot through his attorney in the Big Blue Bus case were not successful.

For Kanoff, it’s the third time in her 29-year career at City Hall that she’s initiated a criminal perjury case against an adversary in litigation. Filing criminal charges that stem from a civil action isn’t necessarily unheard of, but Kanoff is one of the few — if not the only — attorney at City Hall who has taken the step.

“Maybe I get more involved, I don’t know,” she said.

A graduate of UCLA and Southwestern Law School, when she decided to become an attorney Kanoff thought she’d defend women’s rights. Instead she ended up fighting on behalf of the Santa Monica Police Department, and she couldn’t be happier.

“I love my job,” she said. “I get to do the right thing. If I think that the city should prevail in a case I can go all the way to trial.

If I think the city maybe messed up or there was a problem, I can settle the case.” nickt@smdp.com

Bayside officials want more racks FROM RACKS PAGE 7

“Cleary, we are underracked at the moment.”

State law also requires owners to license their bikes. Licenses can be purchased for $3 at City Hall or via the city’s website (www01.smgov.net/finance/licenses/bikelic.htm). The license is good for three years.

The license number and information about the bike will be shared with the SMPD so that officers can identify and return the bike if it is found or someone is found riding it.

Representatives from Bayside said they would like to see more racks Downtown and asked City Hall to better alert riders to racks that are underutilized.

“I think that bicyclist are good at finding bike racks if they’re not hidden,” said Bayside CEO Kathleen Rawson. “I think the ones in our structures are hidden so that’s why nobody goes there.

PEDAL FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Residents and those who work in Santa Monica are being encouraged to ditch their cars for a day and participate in the 16th annual Bike to Work Day on May 20. There will be three Bike to Work Pit Stops in Santa Monica, open between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. where there will be refreshments on hand and prizes.

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.

■ About once a month, the owners of the Marina del Rey (Calif.)

Sportfishing bait shop reap a windfall. According to a January 2004 Los Angeles Times story, a Tibetan Buddhist study group drops by in a convoy after meditating on the "liberation of beings" and plunks down $1,000-$2,000 cash to buy as much live bait as they can, after which they go to Marina del Rey Harbor and, in their terms, "free" the bait (whereupon, of course, much of it is promptly eaten by fish).

■ Our Expanding "Rights": (1) In April, a high official of the European Union called for member-nations to subsidize "vacations" for seniors, the disabled and those too poor to afford one. Said Commissioner (for enterprise and industry) Antonio Tajani, "Traveling for tourism today is a right." (2) In April, the town of Olathe, Kan., became the second city in two years to settle lawsuits filed by citizens who were arrested for flashing their middle fingers at police officers, thus appearing to acknowledge that flipping the bird contemptuously at a cop is expressive conduct protected by the First Amendment. (Philadelphia paid out $50,000; Olathe, one-sixteenth the size, paid out $5,000.)
