THE ‘CONGRADUATION’ ISSUE

School district forced to cut

BY MELODY HANATANI Daily Press Staff Writer

CITYWIDE The economic pinch of declining student enrollment over the past five years is set to take its toll on the district as about 26 teaching positions will be cut in the next school year.

The reduction of 26 full-time equivalent teaching (FTE) positions is reflected in the preliminary general fund budget for the 2007-2008 school year, which was presented

to the Board of Education for the first time at Thursday’s meeting. It was the board’s first glance at a fully detailed budget for the next fiscal year.

The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District has lost hundreds of students since the board enacted a moratorium on non-district residing students five years ago, losing millions of dollars in revenue as a result. Despite declining enrollment, the district actually welcomed more teachers during that time period.

About 181 less students are expected in the 2007-2008 school year, translating into a loss of about $1 million.

The changes in FTEs are an attempt to align student enrollment with the actual teaching staff.

With about 30 teachers expected to retire at the end of this year, the cuts in FTEs will be made through attrition as the district will hire fewer and fewer teachers, said Harry Keiley, president of the Santa MonicaMalibu Classroom Teachers Association.

“Although it’s not what we would prefer, we realize that over time, you cannot have a system in which you decrease student enrollment and increase the number of adults you have in the system,” Keiley said on Friday.

The FTE changes will be seen in Grant Elementary School, which will lose a full time equivalent position, Will Rogers Elementary with three less FTEs, Roosevelt Elementary (1), Webster Elementary (1), SEE CUTS PAGE 10

Governor rejects LNG terminal plan

typical 16-year-old. Sure, he loves to play

SACRAMENTO Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger sports and hang out with friends at the beach, rejected an application Friday by an Australian energy company to build an $800 million floating liquefied natural gas terminal off the Southern California coast.

BHP Billiton’s proposal previously was rejected by the State Lands Commission and the California Coastal Commission. The company needed permission from both bodies and the governor to build the terminal.

Schwarzenegger said he was open to the idea of building a terminal off the coast as a means of diversifying the state’s fuel supply. But he said the current proposal did not pass muster.

“Liquefied natural gas can and must be an important addition to California’s energy portfolio,” the governor said in a statement.

“However, any LNG import facility must meet the strict environmental standards California demands to continue to improve our air quality, protect our coast and preserve our marine environment.

but what sets Miller apart from those his own age is his dedication to helping those who are less fortunate get a better education.

As the founder of the Resilient Youth Foundation, Miller, with the help of family, friends and generous sponsors, has been able to motivate hundreds of inner-city youth, providing free tickets to a professional soccer game and other rewards for those

who work hard to raise their grades. The foundation has been able to raise more than $11,000 and plans to provide 500 families with a full day of fun at the Santa Monica Pier later this year.

On top of that, Miller and his friend Matt Goalen created the documentary, “Tracking To Nowhere,” which examined the track system at Santa Monica High School and why it is that so few minority students are in advanced placement classes compared to whites. The documentary, which has screened at the school and UCLA, recently earned Miller the 2007 Princeton Price for Race Relations.

At a time when teens are being criticized for being narcissistic and oblivious to the problems of the world, Miller is doing everything he can to get involved.

“To a certain extent, what people are saying about kids is true,” Miller said. “I’ve always been interested in politics, current events. Since the sixth grade I’ve read the newspaper every day. I don’t expect other kids to have that same level of enthusiasm, but what troubles me the most is that they don’t care and have really no idea about what is going on in their own community.

Pepperdine is going native By the Associated Press

MALIBU Pepperdine University is resorting to a wild, natural look.

Above the dry slopes surrounding the 49acre graduate campus in Malibu, university landscapers are turning to self-sustaining native plants.

“Our goal is to insert this campus into the natural, beautiful Santa Monica Mountains habitat,” said Rick Leach, director of facilities management and planning.

Landscapers plan to replant the slopes of the seaside campus with seeds and soil, collected by hand from the site seven years ago, before grading began. The method also allowed landscapers to eliminate any nonnative plant species that had invaded the site.

“A lot of work was done before development to see what was here,” Leach said. “We wanted to maintain the purity of what was here, to keep the exact same plants in the area.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PUBLISHER

My Write

Don’t diss Bill

Ross Furukawa ross@smdp.com

Bill Bauer

Editor:

It is truly unfortunate that your editorial (”Someone should stick a muzzle on Rosendahl,” page 4, May 10) did not include a fair assessment about the restriction for the use of the off-leash park. It may be important to your readers to learn the fact that the City of Santa Monica is the “only” city in Southern California that restricts the use of their off-leash parks, as noted in the attached web site with over 40 offleash dog parks www.hautedogs.org/offleash. The City of Santa Monica is the first and only city that maintains this “unfriendly” practice. It is a fact that until now all surrounding Santa Monica communities with off-leash facilities such as Brentwood, Venice, Malibu, El Segundo, Culver City and Redondo Beach have all welcomed all dogs regardless of their place of residence, that includes Santa Monica. That is an equitable and respectful practice in my view.

Your editorial should also note that a portion of the Airport Park lies within the City of Los Angeles boundaries, that the Environmental Impact Report certified by City of Santa Monica officials for the then proposed Airport Park failed to disclose their current exclusive operation to their residents only. The City should not consider Airport Park a sustainable park when everyone that is authorized to use the park has to drive.

Last but not least, the disrespect in your editorial for Councilman Bill Rosendahl and the neighboring community of Mar Vista is offensive. I choose to believe that this is your opinion and that does not represent the views of our Santa Monica neighbors.

Bikes not cars Editor:

The City of Santa Monica is currently in the planning process for redeveloping the Promenade area of Downtown Santa Monica. The Downtown Parking Taskforce claims that there is a need for an additional 1,400 parking spots for cars to make the area competitive with other shopping centers. This concerns me because I feel that increased parking spots will bring more cars and air pollution to the already heavily trafficked area. As a result, I think it would be beneficial to put in high-class bike parking facilities instead. Bike parking facilities have been successful in Southern California. By increasing the amount of bike parking, local residents are encouraged to use bike transportation directly decreasing the amount of cars traveling within Santa Monica. According to the EPA Website, cars are one of the major factors that contribute to ground level smog, which cannot only affect our personal health but also alter the beauty of our local environment.

The health effects of repeated exposure to ozone pollution include lung irritation and permanent lung damage.

Ozone can also cause difficulty breathing during outdoor activities, wheezing, coughing and aggravated asthma.

The environmental affects of “bad” ozone are equally troubling, including: Negatively impacting the appearance of urban vegetation, such as the Santa Monica Mountains, and reducing the productivity of crops and forest growth.

When determining the newest plans for Downtown Santa Monica, do not forget our personal health or the beauty of the environment; consider building bike lots which are becoming ever so popular in Southern California. Ride a bike, save a tree and a lung!!

Hannah McLafferty Santa Monica

Unique solution to dog park drama Editor:

Perhaps we could solve the Santa Monica dog park controversy by requiring all personas with a Santa Monica driver’s license to avoid the east lanes of Bundy Drive and Centenial Boulevard. Oh!! We could issue 15 permits to the lucky few allowing them to drive that portion of the street.

UP

spending on the homeless over the last couple of years by expanding City Hall’s homeless service staff, hiring a $200,000 per year “homeless Czar,” and creating programs to provide services and housing for chronically homeless and chronically homeless alcoholics to name just two.

Julie Rusk, manager of the city’s Human Services Department, told surfsantamonica.com (April 12) that the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority census conducted two years ago (January 2005, Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count), found that on an average day, 418 of Santa Monica’s 1,192 homeless live downtown.

Unfortunately, 1,192 is the number of persons actually counted in select census tracts. According to LAHSA, its only 60 percent of the city’s total homeless.

Including “hidden” homeless and adjusting for uncounted tracts, LAHSA estimates there are 1,991 homeless individuals in Santa Monica. The more recent December, 2006, Urban Institute’s “Ending Homelessness in Santa Monica,” estimated 2,300 to 3,000 persons living on our streets, daily. Realistically, 800 or more transients could call downtown "home.”

Keeping those figures in mind, in March, approximately 20 outreach workers, homeless services providers and city staff participated in an “outreach” on the Third Street Promenade.

“Were reaching out to people who’ve been on the streets for as long as 20 years," Rusk told the press. “They talked to 16 people and each one was connected with a service provider."

Only 20 outreach workers made contact with 16 people? And, when Rusk says "contact” or “connected,” this could mean as little as handing someone a business card. And “persons in a program” could be someone signing into OPCC’s Access Center for a free sack lunch.

This much touted stroll down the Promenade may not have accomplished much, but it made great “feel good” publicity. Good press on its homeless efforts is a must for the city. The few success stories are touted to the local media to sell us on the effectiveness of the city’s extensive and expensive “continuum of care” and foster sympathy for the army of vagrants that occupy our community. As with Iraq war propaganda, showing progress helps deflect complaints and criticism Homeless services here are a big business employing hundreds. Failures and high costs are ignored and buried. Despite the surge in programs and budgets, City Hall’s attempts at getting the homeless off our streets is about as successful as the Bush administration’s efforts in containing the insurgency in Iraq.

Rusk regaled City Council late last month with the progress made since programs began expanding in July 2004. She said the Chronic Homeless Program staff has helped 113 mentally ill or drug and/or alcohol addicted people. There have been 39

placed in permanent housing and 18 more are in assisted living or group home environments. The Feds put nearly $1,000,000 into this program and additional costs are being borne by the city, county and other entities.

CLARE Foundation’s Serial Inebriate Outreach Program (SIOP) offers alcohol recovery services to city jail inmates.

CLARE’s made 400 contacts and connected 103 individuals with services. While this is a promising start, only eight have completed a program and 10 individuals are still involved she reported.

The monthly Homeless Community Court heard twenty-six cases in its first three months. Persons who agree to sobriety and enter programs have their cases and citations dismissed. Obtaining employment is the reason given for this privileged and expensive ($500,000 in L.A. County funding) exercise in “special treatment” justice.

However, LAHSA’s 2005 census said only 10.8 percent of respondents interviewed indicated their criminal record prevented them from getting permanent housing and nothing was mentioned about it affecting employment.

Despite all we’ve done, homeless and transients on Santa Monica streets have almost tripled since 1999’s city census.

There’s more coming every day because we’re a magnet for those looking for handouts and hand ups.

The bad news is that we’re only helping dozens of individuals turn their life around and it’s already costing millions of dollars. Even worse, while some progress is occurring, we’re slipping deeper and deeper into the abyss — and doing it alone.

While politicians and homeless advocates talk “regional solutions” and want others to get involved, we expand our service capability, suck up available financial grants and assume an even larger roll as the center of the homeless services industry and “home of the homeless."

Guest Commentary

probably come across those announcements in airports about how smoking is forbidden.

If airports were private facilities, I would have no problem with this. And, in fact, since I don’t smoke, I am not personally put out by those bans, either.

What is, however, irksome is that most of the announcements pretend to be requests.

This is evident from how they end, namely, with “Your cooperation is much appreciated,” “We thank you for your cooperation,” or some such thing. And this clearly is a ruse, since when something is a government mandate, cooperation is not relevant. Compliance is.

When people cooperate, they do so voluntarily. They freely take part in an endeavor with others who also do it of their own free will. That’s what cooperation involves.

When, however, one is ordered by the police or some other government agency that has the legal option to back its order with force, one has no option but to go along.

Otherwise one will be fined and if one resists, one can even be shot. Instead of refusal or cooperation, what one faces is a choice of resistance or compliance. And the former can come at a high price.

At commercial airports, for example, one may not even voice one’s negative opinions about, say, the conduct of the TSA personnel. Not long ago I mumbled something under my breath as one of the more eagerbeaver uniformed TSA officials ordered me to remove my sandals — I was annoyed since TSA demands this in some but not in other airports. Sure enough, the official heard my indistinct utterance and wanted to have me repeat it so as to learn whether it was anything critical of TSA. I refused to repeat myself and, fortunately, wasn’t bothered further. But had I said anything at which the TSA official took offense, I could have been barred from boarding my flight.

In any case, why don’t those announcements come right out and order people and stop pretending to be making a civilized request of passengers? Why the “Thank you for your cooperation” when, in fact, the officials care not a whit about our cooperation, only about our compliance?

My suspicion is that this pretense at dealing with passengers as if their cooperation mattered comes from the TSA’s and similar agencies’ awareness that all this ordering us about is a bit odd in what is often proclaimed to be a free country. (This is also why some people who support taxation keep insisting

that in some convoluted fashion paying taxes is done voluntarily.) I do not have the resources for it but I would be willing to bet a sizable sum that a systematic study of this kind of behavior on the part of government officials would show that they want it both ways, issuing their orders and pretending that those aren’t orders but requests.

To disguise that they are involved in regimenting millions of supposedly sovereign citizens, these officials and their spin doctors sugarcoat the policy with euphemisms and outright linguistic distortions.

There’s much to be said for rent control. It assists people who wouldn’t other wise be able to afford housing in SM, but it also gives some who don’t need the financial help a leg up on other renters.

Maybe I am making too much of this, but my impression is that it fits the picture of a society slowly but surely transforming itself from being relatively free to being one where the population will pretty much be regimented around in most realms of life. If we can be convinced that following orders at the point of the gun amounts to cooperation, then the police state implications of these policies might be successfully hidden from us. Never mind that in the process the English language itself is being corrupted.

One reason I tend to be on alert about this kind of government behavior is that where I lived in my childhood, in a communist state, the practice of Orwellian language corruption was rampant. Slavery was called “freedom,” one-party rule was called “democracy,” coerced marches were called “parades,” and so forth. I suppose when you have been through that, you become rather skilled at perceiving similar tendencies even while others may simply dismiss them as innocent misuses of words. I suspect they are anything but.

Whales get the star treatment from fans

BY MICHELLE LOCKE Associated Press Writer

WEST SACRAMENTO The tale of two whales stranded in the California delta has captured hearts and headlines in Northern California as efforts continued Friday to lure the injured mammals back to their salty home 90 miles west.

Along the dusty banks of the Port of Sacramento, hundreds kept tabs on the cetacean invasion while for the second day marine scientists aboard small boats played recorded sounds that included other humpback whales feeding.

But the wayward pair, a mother and her calf, showed no signs of cutting short their trip to the Capitol, and scientists said they won’t try to rush them, for now.

“We really do not want to stress the mother and her calf in any way,” said Frances Gulland of the Sausalito-based Marine Mammal Center, which is helping in the rescue operation.

If the underwater siren songs still don’t work, rescue coordinators planned to leave the whales alone this weekend to see if some downtime helps.

“We have been trying to do the most passive, least invasive tactics first,” said Carrie Wilson, a biologist with the California Department of Fish and Game.

Photographs showed the two were wounded during their travels, probably by a ship’s propeller, making it especially important to treat them with care, Gulland said.

Heavy weekend boat traffic in the delta is another reason to leave the whales alone for a few days, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

“The port is the safest place for them to be,” said Ed Sweeney, a spokesman for the Coast Guard Auxiliary. “It’s a safety issue for both the whales and the public.”

The Coast Guard will enforce a 500 yard safety zone around the whales, and the north Port of Sacramento channel and boat ramp will remain closed to the public through the weekend.

Attempts to lure the whales back to the ocean with the recorded sounds are scheduled to resume Monday, when boat traffic eases, he said.

The whales briefly seemed to get the right idea by themselves on Friday morning, when they headed 200 yards into the deep water channel leading to the Sacramento River which eventually empties into the San Francisco Bay. But then they turned around.

If there’s no progress by Tuesday, rescuers plan to start a herding operation, which would require at least 50 boats and include tactics such as banging pipes under water, a sound whales don’t like.

“We hope that the next few days will show some progress but ... we really are in uncharted ground,” Gulland said.

On Friday, onlookers oohed and aahed — and clicked their cell phone cameras — as the whales occasionally broke the surface in a sibilant whoosh, their smooth gray bodies rippling through the placid waters.

The scene was reminiscent of the publicity that attended Humphrey, a humpback whale that wandered into the delta — although not as far inland as the mother-calf duo — by way of San Francisco Bay more than 20 years ago. In Humphrey’s case, the whale was in freshwater for 26 days and suffered no ill effects.

Based on that experience, scientists are

not overly concerned that the newly stranded whales are in immediate danger even though they have nothing to feed on, Wilson said.

“Maybe it’s not salt water, it’s not ideal, it’s not where they want to be, but they are safe,” she said.

Biology professor Douglas Long’s not at all surprised by the hubbub over the whales.

“What I think is people look at marine mammals as sort of being the human counterpart in the ocean — they’re warm-blooded; they’re intelligent; they’re social, all the qualities we like to think of as having,” said Long, who teaches at St. Mary’s College in the east San Francisco Bay suburb of

MAYBE IT’S NOT SALT WATER, IT’S NOT IDEAL, IT’S NOT WHERE THEY WANT TO BE, BUT THEY ARE SAFE.” Carrie Wilson a biologist with the California Department of Fish and Game.

Moraga.

Scientifically, whales are important indicators of ocean health, Gulland said. “They are sentinels of change,” she said.

The Humphrey saga spun out over years, starting with a more than three-week-long effort in 1985 to nudge the 40-foot humpback back out to sea. Humphrey was a slippery fellow, though, swimming several times toward the Golden Gate only to elude watchers and head back east.

Even after he finally made it back to the Pacific Ocean, Humphrey was spotted near the Farallon Islands off San Francisco during the next two years and in 1990 he wandered back into San Francisco Bay, spending three days there — including one day stuck on mud flats — before swimming back out to sea forever.

In 1988, whales were big news again with world attention focused on three gray whales trapped under the ice of the coast of Alaska. One of the whales died, but the other two appeared to swim free after a huge rescue effort that included assistance from a Cold War foe, with two Soviet icebreakers helping clear a path to open water.

The Sacramento whales probably were on their annual trip up the California coast to cooler waters up north when they got lost. Their situation is complicated by the mother-child relationship since the mother probably is focused on the welfare of the calf, believed to be suckling, Gulland said.

The whales have inspired several newspaper naming contests — none seem to have stuck yet — and continue to draw new fans.

Jeanetta Deutsch, who was visiting Sacramento from Great Bend, Kan., was among those thrilling to the sight of the breaching whales Friday.

“They’re just awesome. They’re majestic,” she said.

A few yards away, Ruben Guerrero, who lives in the Sacramento area, held up a sign reading “George Costanza We Need You,” a reference to a “Seinfeld” episode in which the hapless George saves a beached whale.

Guerrero, of Sacramento, said he’d always wanted to go whale-watching on the ocean and “here they come to me.”

CITY OF SANTA MONICA NOTICE INVITING BIDS

LOS ANGELES

County jail inmate beaten by deputy gets $360,000 A federal jury decided a County Jail inmate beaten by a deputy should get $365,000.

Anthony Albert Jimenez, who is serving a 25-years-to-life sentence under the state’s three-strikes law, alleged in his suit that sheriff’s deputies assaulted him on three dates in 1998 at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility.

The jury in the courtroom of U.S. Magistrate Judge Patrick J. Walsh decided Thursday that Jimenez should get $210,000 in punitive damages. Two days earlier, jurors awarded $155,000 as compensation for his injuries.

The most serious attack on Jimenez occurred when Deputy Gabriel Frank Gonzalez beat him on the head with a metal flashlight while other deputies restrained him.

Gonzalez was later fired and sentenced to 30 years in prison for sexually assaulting three women while on patrol in Compton and surrounding areas.

In another attack, Jimenez said Deputy Ryan Bergner slammed his head against a steel sink and Sgt. Gilbert Duron beat him while he was restrained.

Jurors said Gonzalez should pay $150,000 in punitive damages, Bergner $50,000 and Duron, now retired, $10,000.

“We give our peace officers a considerable amount of power and authority, and we hope and trust they use it wisely,” defense attorney Emilio Gonzalez said. “If they break that trust, we need to make sure they’ll be punished for crossing that line and know not to do it again.”

Report says the LA sheriff’s disciplinary system has flaws There’s been improvement in Sheriff’s Department investigations into alleged deputy misconduct, but a report shows employees know how to avoid discipline more than 80 percent of the time.

Misconduct investigations overall are thorough, but the disciplinary process lacks integrity, special counsel Merrick Bobb said in his semiannual report released Wednesday.

Bobb, an attorney hired by the Board of Supervisors to examine the department, said persistent challenges by the deputies union was troubling.

“There is too much dealmaking,” Bobb wrote. “An employee has everything to gain and nothing to lose by grieving discipline. The nearly inevitable result of the grievance will be an ultimate reduction in the discipline.”

Bobb reviewed 101 sheriff’s investigations involving 127 employees in 2005 and found that discipline was reduced or suspended 84 percent of the time.

“A persistent employee with a smart union representative can game the system,” Bobb wrote. “The punishment one ultimately gets results more from who is best at playing the game, not from a fair and evenhanded approach.”

Sheriff Lee Baca called Bobb’s conclusions misleading, noting settlement agreements call for harsher punishment if a deputy breaks the rules again.

“An employee knows if they reoffend, they will get all the punishment that the settlement agreement included but was not served, and they will possibly get fired and have no recourse to appeal the discharge,” the sheriff said.

MONTEBELLO

Graffiti vandal gets 16 months in jail for second offense A graffiti vandal was sentenced to 16 months in jail for scrawling his monicker along Whittier Boulevard for a second time.

Jeremia Carrillo, 22, was linked to April 25 vandalism because he used the same tagging name when he was arrested the first time, police Detective Ismael Navarro said.

“He was a pretty unique case. No witnesses. No one saw him,” Navarro said.

Carrillo pleaded guilty to felony vandalism and was sentenced Wednesday to 16 months in jail and ordered to pay an additional $896 in restitution. He still owes the city $2,500 for the earlier graffiti case.

Last year, Carrillo was convicted on one count of felony vandalism was sentenced to jail and placed on five years’ probation. The latest vandalism occurred three months after he was released from jail.

The city spends an estimated $600,000 a year to clean up graffiti, Montebello officials said.

LOS ANGELES

Mayor gives up fight for schools Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa abandoned his crusade Friday to seize control of city schools, announcing he would not appeal a court decision that blocked his plan to gain a hand running the huge Los Angeles Unified School District.

“It’s time to get out of the courtroom and into the classroom,” Villaraigosa said.

The announcement comes a month after the California 2nd District Court of Appeal upheld a ruling that found the mayor’s plan to shift some district powers to his office was unconstitutional.

School board President Marlene Canter, who opposed the mayoral takeover, called Villaraigosa’s decision to end legal action “a new beginning.”

The mayor’s announcement came just three days after two candidates he supported won seats on the seven-member board, giving Villaraigosa a like-minded majority on panel.

Soon after being sworn in as mayor in 2005, Villaraigosa vowed to wrest control of the district from the board. He had patterned the takeover after New York City and Chicago, where mayors have control over schools.

He now plans to work cooperatively with the board to improve troubled classrooms.

“The time for debate is over,” the mayor said.

The district is the nation’s second largest, with more than 708,000 students in kindergarten through 12th grades.

Caretaker searches for wife and children

BY JENNIFER DOBNER Associated Press Writer

SALT LAKE CITY Wendell Musser followed church leader Warren Jeffs like many others do, with devotion and loyalty so deep that he obeyed without question when called to take a secret mission.

Jeffs, head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, was on the run from lawsuits in Utah and criminal charges in Arizona tied to the sect’s belief in polygamy and spiritual marriages involving minors.

Musser’s task in 2005: Take care of Jeffs’ many wives in remote areas of Colorado.

Ultimately, the secrecy would breed doubt — and a mistake — that cost Musser his wife, child and membership in the church.

He has filed a lawsuit against Jeffs to learn the whereabouts of his family. The court filing and an interview with Musser provide details of Jeffs’ life on the run for nearly two years before he was arrested during a traffic stop in Nevada last August.

It is a story of small-town isolation, disguises, hours of prayer, high-tech devices and meetings with Jeffs in a parking lot in Colorado Springs.

“It was an honor to get a mission for the church,” Musser, now 22, said. “But it was really a lot different than I expected. It was out in the middle of nowhere, and we were hiding.”

Jeffs, 51, is in the Washington County, Utah, jail awaiting trial on felony charges of rape as an accomplice in the spiritual marriage of a 14-year-old girl to a 19-year-old cousin.

Considered a prophet of God by followers, he has led the FLDS, as the church is known, since 2002 after the death of his father.

Jeffs disappeared from public life about a year later as pressure on the church’s practice of plural marriage drew scrutiny from authorities in Utah and Arizona.

Polygamy is illegal in both states, but the FLDS believes it brings glorification in heaven. In Colorado City, Ariz., and Hildale, Utah, where the church faithful number an estimated 10,000, arranged marriage is also practiced, often involving minor girls and older men.

Musser’s own marriage to Vivian Barlow hastily occurred in a Kanab, Utah, motel in April 2005, about four hours after he was told by Jeffs that he would marry. They even-

tually grew to love each other.

Seven months later, a phone call from Jeffs, an uncle, put Musser on an odyssey that has changed his life.

Jeffs said the couple’s faithful behavior had qualified them for service. The details were spare, and Musser was ordered not to discuss the matter with anyone — not even his wife.

He was to wrap up his job with a granite countertop company and wait for word that it was time to go.

“He was really careful with people. He really would only call people that he trusted and he knew the cops were looking for him,” Musser said of Jeffs.

At the time, Jeffs had been indicted on felony sexual misconduct charges in Arizona.

Church prays for Idaho victims Five dead in first

BY JOHN K. WILEY Associated Press Writer

MOSCOW, Idaho Pastor Norman Fowler was not prepared for the sermon he gave Sunday.

The First Presbyterian Church minister was scheduled to fly with 18 other members of his congregation to help rebuild a Mississippi town destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.

Instead, he and about 100 congregants met in a music school auditorium on the University of Idaho campus because less than 12 hours earlier, their church had become the scene of a shooting rampage that left three dead and two wounded.

Among those killed was church caretaker Paul Bauer, who was shot in the church office by a gunman who had sprayed a courthouse with bullets, killing a Moscow Police officer and wounding a sheriff ’s deputy and a civilian before taking his own life in the sanctuary.

“Preparing for the service today was basically leaving it up to the spirit to move me,” Fowler told reporters after the makeshift service in a recital hall. Earlier, he had encouraged members of his grieving congregation to pray for those killed and wounded and their families, including the gunman’s.

Investigators believe the gunman deliberately fired into an emergency dispatch center inside the Latah County Courthouse late Saturday to lure people into the line of fire.

Lee Newbill, the first officer at the scene, was hit as he rushed to the courthouse around 11:35 p.m., said David Duke, Moscow’s assistant police chief. Newbill had served with the police department since March 2001 and was the city’s first officer killed in the line of duty.

Deputy Brannon Jordon, a 17-year veteran, was shot shortly after midnight as he took cover behind a tree after pulling Newbill out of the line of fire, Duke said. Jordon was in serious condition with multiple gunshot wounds, the assistant chief said.

Authorities did not release the name of the injured civilian, who was shot around 11:45 p.m., but said he lived in the neighborhood and had gone outside after hearing the gunshots.

The man was undergoing surgery and was in serious but stable condition, Duke said.

Around 6 a.m., three SWAT teams entered the First Presbyterian Church and found the bodies of the shooter and another man, Duke said. An assault rifle, ammunition and spent shells were found next to the gunman’s corpse, he said.

The shooter died of what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, Duke said. His body was found in the sanctuary. Bauer’s body was found in the church office.

Authorities did not release either man’s name, but Fowler identified Bauer, who was believed to be in his 60s and lived at the church.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska Five mountaineers have died on the treacherous peaks of Denali National Park this season, with four of those deaths occurring over the past week, park officials said Sunday.

Andre Callari, 33, of Salt Lake City and Brian Postlethwait, 32, of Park City, Utah, were the latest to be identified in the series of fatalities in the Alaska Range on routes that range from moderate to highly technical.

An avalanche swept the men to the base of 7,650-foot Mount Barille, where they were found amidst snow and chunks of ice by rescue personnel late Friday, said park spokeswoman Kris Fister.

Callari and Postlethwait were attempting a moderate route called the Japanese Couloir. The torrent of snow carried them 1,500 to 2,000 feet down the mountain, park rangers estimate.

Their bodies were flown to Talkeetna, a small town south of the park where climbers charter aircraft to fly them and their gear to any of the hundreds of routes within the park.

Ducks take series lead over Detroit

BY LARRY LAGE AP Sports Writer

DETROIT The Anaheim Ducks were within a minute of losing a game that could’ve led to the end of their season.

In overtime, Teemu Selanne had a splitsecond to decide what to do with the puck.

He made the right choice.

Selanne scored 11:57 into the extra period and lifted Anaheim to a 2-1 comeback win over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday and a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference finals.

With 47.3 seconds left in regulation, Scott Niedermayer’s deflected shot fluttered over Dominik Hasek’s glove on a power play to tie the game and force overtime.

Andreas Lilja, who scored Detroit’s lone goal, turned the puck over by missing it in front to Selanne. The Ducks forward made a quick move before sending a backhander over a sprawling Hasek.

“Everything happened so quickly,” Selanne said. “You don’t have enough time to plan anything.

“But I’ve been practicing that move my whole life. I knew I had to get it up. He goes down and covers up everything down low.”

Lilja said he messed up on the play.

“It’s not supposed to happen, but it happens,” he said. “It hurts, but we have to put this behind us and move on.”

Game 6 is Tuesday night in Anaheim, where the Ducks will have a chance to win their third straight game in the series to advance to the Stanley Cup finals for the sec-

ond time. Detroit coach Mike Babcock led Anaheim past the Red Wings en route to the 2003 finals.

If Game 7 is necessary, it will be played Thursday in Detroit.

Eastern Conference champion Ottawa, which eliminated Buffalo on Saturday, will open the Stanley Cup finals on the road against this series winner.

EVERYTHING HAPPENED SO QUICKLY. YOU DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PLAN ANYTHING.”

MALIBU Finally, it’s Floyd.

After sitting quietly at the defense table for five days, Floyd Landis will take the witness stand Saturday in the most-anticipated moment of an arbitration hearing he hopes will confirm he’s the Tour de France champion.

The world will get to hear Landis’ version of events that led to a positive test for synthetic testosterone — and he’ll finally get a chance to put some good spin on a case that has not been going well, at least from a public-relations standpoint.

His testimony should refocus the issue away from the frenzy created by three-time Tour winner Greg LeMond’s bombshells. On Thursday, LeMond revealed he’d told Landis he was sexually abused as a child and that Landis’ manager, Will Geoghegan, used that secret to try to intimidate LeMond and keep him from testifying.

It appeared to be quite a demoralizing day for Landis, though his father, Paul, said he was surprised by his son’s response.

“I thought he was very optimistic,” Paul Landis said. “We’re still encouraged.”

After months of barnstorming the country professing his innocence and raising money for his defense, now Landis gets to tell his story under oath. After initially blam-

The Red Wings had plenty of chances to score more goals but finished 0-for-7 on the power play. Detroit had a man advantage that started 7:53 into overtime, but couldn’t get the puck past Jean-Sebastien Giguere, who improved to 12-1 after regulation in the playoffs.

“We couldn’t score,” Hasek said.

They pull the goalie and score on a deflection off Lilja scored his first playoff goal at 6:13 of the second period, and Detroit clung to the one-goal lead.

The Ducks didn’t quit and it paid off.

ing his positive test on everything from dehydration to too much whiskey the night before the test to his natural metabolism, Landis can explain the reasons for testing positive. Perhaps he’ll delve into what he has called the corrupt way the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and its brethren in the anti-doping industry do business.

Last week, he said he thought the hearings would serve to prove his innocence and dismantle USADA, all at the same time.

His folks and wife, who have sat stoically through these five days, should be on hand again. And maybe the hearing room, essentially void of public spectators since Monday, will fill up, too.

The schedule, with Landis’ name on it, came out at the end of a long day of testimony Friday, the highlight of which was testimony from midlevel pro cyclist Joe Papp. Papp said he was a drug cheat and described how synthetic testosterone helped him recover in multi-day stage races like the Tour.

Papp, who received a two-year doping suspension that hadn’t been made public until his testimony, was brought to the witness stand by USADA. The agency used the testimony to refute earlier claims made by Landis’ attorneys that testosterone couldn’t help Landis win the 2006 Tour and that he’d be crazy to use it if he knew he might be tested.

Nine schools are facing teacher reductions FROM CUTS PAGE 1 Cabrillo Elementary (1), Lincoln Middle School (5), Malibu High School (3) and Santa Monica High School (4).

John Adams Middle School stands to lose the most teaching positions with seven spots being eliminated for the 2007-2008 school year.

One of the most notable differences between the preliminary general fund budget presented on Thursday and the budget worksheets that administrators have tackled over the past few months is the drop in the anticipated deficit. On May 3, Chief Financial Officer Dr. Stephen Hodgson pre-

sented a worksheet that reflected an approximately $3 million deficit for the upcoming 2007-2008 school year. The full preliminary budget presented on Thursday showed a deficit of about $410,000.

That deficit would lead to a surplus if City Council approves a $750,000 increase in its annual payment to the school district under the Master Facility Use Agreement, which currently brings in about $6.5 million annually to the district. The increase would bring the total annual contribution under the agreement to approximately $7.2 million.

Looking three years into the future, the district is anticipating about a $1.8 million deficit.

look at ways to close the gap in the operating deficit and have more than a bare minimum of three percent reserve,” Silvern said.

Torres suggested ways the district could bring in more revenue, including encouraging parents to be sure their children attend school every day. The district faces a “financial penalty” for absences, Torres said.

The budget is still in a fluid stage and has a ways to go before it is formally approved by the school board on June 28 and submitted to the Los Angeles County Office of Education on June 29.

The district is also set to lose two revenue streams in the next few years — Measure S, which will bring in about $6.4 million next year, is set to expire in 2009; and Measure Y, which will generate about $3.9 million next year, will expire in 2011.

The board is pondering asking voters to renew the two parcel taxes.

Two members of the district’s Financial Oversight Committee — Chairman Paul Silvern and Cynthia Torres — praised Hodgson and the staff at Fiscal and Business Services, but warned that a reserve level that is only 3 percent of the general fund budget is not sufficient.

Insurance companies try to cut losses in wildfire hotspots

BY GILLIAN FLACCUS Associated Press Writer

Spooked by devastating wildfire seasons, the nation’s top insurers are inspecting homes in high-risk areas throughout the West and threatening to cancel coverage if owners don’t clear brush or take other precautions.

The inspections have angered homeowners and watchdog groups that accuse the companies of trying to cut risk at the expense of customers, even while industry profits soar. The complaints echo concerns raised after Hurricane Katrina, when many insurance companies increased rates or dropped policies along the Gulf Coast.

“It certainly isn’t fair for these insurers to be dumping these last-minute requirements on homeowners,” said Carmen Balber of The Foundation for Taxpayer & Consumer Rights.

“It does make sense to require homeowners to take reasonable precautions, but some of the excessive demands that we’ve heard from homeowners are over the top,” she said.

The requirements can range from clearing brush to cutting down trees or even installing a fireproof roof.

Insurers and industry groups counter that making people take responsibility for living in the highest-risk fire areas makes good business sense.

“Insurers are in the business of measuring and attempting to put a price on risk,” said Candysse Miller, executive

director of the nonprofit Insurance Information Network of California. “We are encroaching further and further into hillsides and areas where we should not build, and insurers have to take a look at that.”

Catastrophic fires, including wildfires, caused $6.4 billion in insured losses between 1986 and 2005, with more than $2 billion of that amount stemming from massive firestorms in 2003 in Southern California, said Loretta Worters, a spokeswoman for the Insurance Information Institute.

In California alone, more than 6 million homes stand in wildfire red zones, and the number of homes built in remote “wildland communities” is expected to increase by 20 percent during the next decade.

Miller strives toward equality for students FROM CP PAGE 3 They don’t seem to care about what is going on around them, affecting their lives. With technology today making it extremely easy to access information, it is ridiculous that we are so uninformed.”

Miller’s inspiration for the documentary came from his good friend and teammate Eddie Lopez, who was shot and killed last year by a suspected gang member while walking with friends. The two had often talked about the disparities they saw at the high school. Lopez was one of the few Latinos in AP classes, Miller said, and that always bothered him.

“A month after he died, a friend of mine (Goalen) said he wanted to make a film,” Miller said. “He told me to come up with an idea and it just kind of clicked. I wanted to do it in honor of Eddie and investigate the reasons behind this and solve it in honor of him. I dedicate the Princeton Prize to Eddie and his legacy.

“I really started getting passionate about everything I’m doing after he died, and because of the experiences I had talking with him,” Miller added. “We were really close.”

The film showed that not one person is responsible for the lack of minority students enrolled in AP courses, Miller said. What he discovered is that there are a lot of factors that contribute. He also learned that while it may seem daunting, fixing the problem is easy.

The difficult part is making people aware.

I REALLY STARTED GETTING PASSIONATE ABOUT EVERYTHING I’M DOING AFTER HE DIED, AND BECAUSE OF THE EXPERIENCES I HAD TALKING WITH HIM. WE WERE REALLY CLOSE.” Josh Miller teenage philanthropist

“It just pisses me off that even in Santa Monica, if you’re not white, you don’t have an equal opportunity to succeed,” Miller said. “That’s just ridiculous to me.”

Miller’s English teacher, Nathan Fulcher, who nominated him for the prize, said, “Through his work and dedication to the community, Josh has proven himself to be passionate and committed to breaking down racial barriers in our society. This year Josh has grown to not only see social injustice, but to actively seek solutions to the problem.”

His interest in equality can be traced back to his elementary school. Instead of attending a public school in Santa Monica, Miller, who grew up near Douglas Park, enrolled in UCLA’s University Elementary School where he sat alongside children from all socio-economic backgrounds. That experience helped him become more racially and socially aware,

IN HONOR: Josh Miller, left, receives the Princeton Prize from its local chapter.

Miller said, and made him appreciate the blessings he had. After elementary school, Miller attended Lincoln Middle School and was somewhat disappointed by the attitudes of some of his fellow students, who seemed to be taking everything for granted.

“At that point I decided to dedicate my time to making sure that every kid, no matter their background, be given an equal opportunity to succeed,” Miller said. “Just because I was fortunate enough to live in Santa Monica, doesn’t mean that kids who didn’t shouldn’t have the same opportunity to succeed.”

Miller is gearing up for the family-fun day at the pier and is looking to create a scholarship fund in Lopez’ honor, with the goal of one day giving away five scholarships every year to Samohi graduates who meet certain criteria.

“Ever since the film, this has really jumped off,” Miller said. “This is something I care deeply about and I really want to fight for it.”

Miller isn’t always focused on the foundation. After all, he is 16 and like others his age, he likes to have fun with his friends.

“In the summer, I basically live at the beach,” Miller said. “During the school year, I’m basically into sports. I used to do football and boxing on top of baseball, but this year I’ve decided to focus solely on baseball, but I’m always doing some kind of athletics.”

Miller is a pitcher hoping to make the varsity squad next year. Once he graduates though, Miller plans on hanging up his glove so that he can concentrate on his school work. He would like to attend a school on the east coast, preferably Columbia or Georgetown, where he plans to study political science, economics or communications.

“I’m still not sure yet, but it will be one of those three,” he said.

And unlike most teens, Miller was adamant that he not be given all the credit for the foundation or the documentary.

Instead, he wanted praise to be given to all of the volunteers and his friends Goalen and Lopez, “because I couldn’t have done it without them.” kevinh@smdp.com

The ride began in Chicago 10 days ago and the officers had traveled more than 2,400 miles along historic Route 66 — crossing eight states — before arriving at the Santa Monica Pier. The tour is a fundraiser for UNICEF and benefits children orphaned by the AIDS pandemic in Mozambique. Each officer raised $8,000 to sponsor the ride.

Born Today

Happy Birthday!

Actor Raymond Burr (1917),

This year, let your words embody your thoughts and feelings. Others will be unusually responsive to your evolving communication skills. You drive a hard bargain when you want something and won’t accept “no.” Often this focus can be irritating to others, especially as you can be one-sided at times and don’t take in others’ views. Meetings and groups of people often demand a lot. Friendships add to your life. If you are single, you might meet someone through your daily travels and/or a friend. He or she might be “the one.” If you are attached, your relationship will bloom if you focus more on each other.

‘Office’ party Ain’t no party like a Scranton party.

That’s what “THE OFFICE” stars Brian Baumgartner and Angela Kinsey told a breakfast crowd as they visited the city where the NBC sitcom is set. The line was uttered this season by Steve Carell, who plays the buffoonish regional manager at Dunder Mifflin Paper Co. Baumgartner and Kinsey, who play accountants Kevin and Angela, arrived Friday and toured some of the city’s watering holes — including

Poor Richards Pub at South Side Bowl, Coopers Seafood House, Farley’s and The Bog, most of which have been mentioned on the show.

After the breakfast Saturday, they toured Penn Paper and Supply Co. and attended an autograph session and rooftop party.

“We actually teared up a bit because of the reception you gave us. We’re just so proud to be here and meet you guys,” Kinsey said.

Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty was equally complimentary.

Cast celebrates in Scranton; ‘We actually teared up a bit’

“We just want to thank you for everything ‘The Office’ has done for Scranton,” Doherty said.

“You really have made a tremendous impact.”

Planners of the inaugural “The Office” convention used the occasion to unveil the event’s dates, Oct. 26-28 in Scranton, and its Web site, www. theofficeconvention.com.

“Office” cast member Rainn Wilson, who plays Dwight Schrute, visited the city in December.

Spain’s Bardem surprised by his role JAVIER BARDEM is one of Europe’s hottest actors.

But the Spanish star is astonished to find himself feted at Cannes for starring in a modern-day Western set under the big skies of west Texas.

Bardem plays a psychopath who dishes out death without reason or remorse in “No Country for Old Men” from filmmaking brothers Joel and Ethan Coen ("Fargo,” “The Big

Lebowski").

It isn’t a typical movie, or a typical role for Bardem. He was nominated for an Academy Award in 2001 for playing persecuted Cuban poet Reinaldo Arenas in “Before Night Falls,” and gained more plaudits for “The Sea Inside,” the Oscar-winning Spanish film about a paralyzed man fighting for the right to die.

“I’m a European actor,

and I have some problems with violence,” Bardem said Sunday. “Violence is something I haven’t really played very much in movies.”

Meeting the Coen brothers and reading their script eased his worries. Adapted from a novel by Cormac McCarthy, the film is a taut thriller that explores the meaning of violence and

the nature of good and evil.

“Our first talk with Javier was about his qualms,” said Ethan Coen, half of the writing/producing/directing partnership.

“He wanted to make sure we felt the same way (as he did) and that we weren’t doing a Chuck Norris movie.”

the digital age. Polanski’s walkout did not seem to be a response to any single question.

When the moderator announced that journalists had just two minutes left, Polanski, 73, took the microphone.

“It’s a shame to have such poor questions, such empty questions,” Polanski said. “And I think that it’s really the computer which has brought you down to this level. You’re no longer interested in what’s going on in the cinema.

“Frankly, let’s all go and have lunch,” he suggested, before walking out.

None of the other directors followed.

The shorts were packaged as a feature called “To Each His Own Cinema.”

LORDI AT WORK LORDI, the mask-clad heavy metal monster band from Finland, is thrashing its way onto the big screen with a horror flick.

Band leader Mr. Lordi, whose real name is Tomi Putaansuu, said the English-language fright feature, “Dark Floors,” began shooting this month and is set to premiere in the band’s home country at the end of the year.

Mr. Lordi, promoting the flick at the Cannes Film Festival this weekend, didn’t want to give away too many secrets.

“In a way it is traditional horror film, but a traditional modern horror film. It has monsters obviously in it,” he said Saturday. “It has some twists in the plot, of course, it has some horrific scenes and a horrific mood, it is more like a psychological thing.

“Lordi goes to the twilight zone, that is pretty much (what) you can say,” he said.

The group’s other members are known as Amen the Unstoppable Mummy, Awa the Vampire Countess, Ox the Hellbull and Kita the Alien Manbeast. Band members said they wanted to star in a horror film after winning Eurovision Song Contest.

They had no time to be grateful, though, for they were immediately arrested because the sheriff said they had gone into the mine only to try to find copper to steal. (2) Two men walked into a postal annex in Portland, Ore., in April, with one wielding a folding pocket knife, and announced a robbery. However, seconds later, the employees began laughing as the man with the knife couldn't get the blade out with his thumbnail, and the pair fled.

Notices NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF AHMAD MOHAMMADIAN Case No. LP012757 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of AHMAD MOHAMMADIAN A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Soheila Mo-hammadian in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGE-LES. THE PETITION FOR PRO-BATE requests that Soheila Mo-hammadian be appointed as per-sonal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administra-tion of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representa-tive to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important ac-tions, however, the personal repre-sentative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on August 2, 2007 at 9:00 AM in Dept. No. A located at 6230 Sylmar Ave., Van Nuys, CA 91401.

IF YOU OBJECT to the grant-ing of the petition, you should ap-pear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section
