Average Santa Monican had 80 minutes of power outage last year Edison replacing aging equipment

BY DAVID MARK SIMPSON Daily Press Staff Writer

CITYWIDE On average, Santa Monicans sat in the dark for 80 minutes in 2014, according to reporting from Southern California Edison.

Edison is doing some work in the city rebuilding circuits and making underground vault replacements.

Santa Monica’s reliability rankings have improved since last year, but they are down from 2011, when they were among the best in Southern California, according to the report.

On average, Santa Monicans experienced 1.1 sustained outages

in 2014, slightly higher than the system-wide average but similar to the number of outages experienced in the year prior.

Santa Monicans experienced less than one (.7) momentary interruptions The most common cause of sustained outages were animals and vegetation, like a tree branch, rodent, or bird causing a short circuit between conductors.

About 45 percent of all sustained outages in Santa Monica were caused by animals or vegetation.

More than a quarter were caused by equipment failure, like SEE POWER PAGE 11

How can you mend a broken heart?

WHO BUT THE HARDCORE HATERS

amongst us did not weep for the Charleston Nine, and for our nation?

I had tears on a few occasions this past week, and much reflection. And sadness, pervasive sadness. It was the kind that usually comes with the loss of someone you knew but weren’t really close to or didn’t see very often, or sometimes a cherished public figure you felt you knew.

Of course I knew none of the nine. And I’m not black, nor South Carolinian (but was born in the South), nor of the AME faith, yet it affected me deeply. I’m not even a Christian, any more (though Jesus is just alright with me - Byrds, Doobie Brothers), and I’m pretty disdainful of religion and dismissive of those who follow mindlessly. Bible- or Koran-pushers of any persuasion make me crazy.

But being raised Catholic and having a passable acquaintance with faith and the Bible, I understand the mindset and am also sympathetic, and as long as someone is contemplative about their religion, and not didactic, I say, whatever blows your hair back, whatever gets you through the night.

Especially if you have a centuries-long family history of horrific, unthinkable nights (and days), as do almost all black Americans.

From what I heard on TV and Internet, the family, friends and fellow congregants of those slaughtered at Emanuel AME always made some mention of their religious faith, of it getting them through this unimaginable horror. God bless you, I say with all sincerity.

Their unified invocations of forgiveness for the killer, from those from whom he had stolen so much, have to be an inspiration of the highest order, no matter what your faith or lack of it.

(Though I have spoken to some for whom that forgiveness, so soon, is so incomprehensible they dismiss it as crazy. We should all have hearts so crazy.)

So what could I do, to express some token support, to show that this white fellow American on the Other Coast cared deeply and was standing with them, emotionally, spiritually? Part of an amazing collective out pouring, that might be of some comfort?

I didn’t come up with anything, until I got a Facebook message from my friend Craig Sunday morning, saying he was going with his family to the First AME Church by the Sea here in Santa Monica. It was a private message, not urging or even inviting, but I immediately decided to go.

I did have the thought, maybe I should go to the big AME church in South Central, the famous one. Everyone will be there. It will be memorable.

But keeping it local seemed the right way to go.

After nearly three decades living here, I didn’t even know that church existed, on a stretch of Michigan that dead ends near 20th and is hemmed in on the north by the freeway, until I came upon it on one of my walk-every-block-inSanta Monica walks, maybe a year ago. It is tucked away, and because I had memorized an incorrect address, I had a lot of trouble finding it.

When I finally did, and scooted across the parking lot I saw a man and a woman in vestments standing on the steps to welcome people.

“Sorry I’m a little late,” I smiled, and they said, “Oh no, you’re right on time,” and escorted me in.

Considering that the service wasn’t over for another two hours plus, and that some folks were still trickling in an hour later (they probably knew there was still more than half the service to go), I could see they were not just being kind, but also accurate.

I spotted Craig’s family at the back and said hello, he and his son in their yarmulkes, but chose to sit farther up, to spread the few white folks there out a bit. One other gentleman of the Caucasian persuasion soon came in. The sparse crowd finally reached about 75 souls.

The 13-voice choir was good but could have used a few more microphones. The two keyboard players were very, very good. The youngish piano player was pounding away on the lively numbers and could get a job with Rev. Al Green in Memphis if he wanted, and the organist handled the slower hymns with properly muted jams, and made his creative most of a long, long vamp on “How Great Thou Art.” Inspired. A hidden drummer was icing on the cake.

What can I say? I’m a music guy. I go to church, I review the music. It’s also why when I do go to church, it’s nearly always a black church. Music

enlivens the emotions. Everyone knows God is a boogie chile, She’s a boogie on reggae woman, I am sure.

It seemed to me probably their usual Sunday service, but with homilies, and a powerful guest preacher from Louisiana, Rev. Kemp, speaking to the tragedy in Charleston. The locals consider the Emanuel AME there to be their mother church. It has a history, tied in to African American issues, going back to 1791. That church was burned down, banned, knocked flat by an earthquake, and has carried on. They will carry on through this disaster.

Two moments pulled on me most: when the simple, very short but defining prayer was offered, “for gun control, we pray, O Lord”; and when a woman reading the usual Sunday announcements read a brief message of condolence and solidarity from Rabbi Neil Comess-Daniels of our local Temple Beth Shir Shalom, and she was clearly moved, her voice cracking, the only such display that day, not of letting the spirit slip, but of being so struck by the compassion of another soul who understood.

In a way, that moment said it all, and I was glad I was there.

Santa Monica authors release new book with Brown Girls Publishing

BY SEAN MCDONALD Daily Press Intern

Santa Monica authors Marcy Winograd and Jackie Hirtz are back with a sequel to their tween novel “Lola Zola and the Lemonade Crush”.

The new novel is titled “New Girl on Salt Flat Road” and it debuted May 21 from Brown Girls Publishing. The story centers on 11-year-old Lola Zola, a 6th grader struggling with her transition to womanhood. Her mother doesn’t want her to grow up too quickly, but when a new girl from Malibu moves in next door she becomes caught up in a fast paced lifestyle that eventually gets her in trouble with the law. In this far more personal sequel, Lola deals with body image issues, motherdaughter conflict, and the police as she tries to race to womanhood, fearing she’s growing up to slowly.

“I drew on a lot of my own experiences as a 6th grader,” said co-author Marcy Winograd. “My mother didn’t want me to go up too fast, but I had friends who were developing so quickly I felt like maybe I was too slow”. She said the experience of writing the book with Hirtz was heartening, as writing is often solitary and can become lonely.

“I’m glad to be working with an author

whose style compliments my own writing.”

Jackie and Marcy have worked together before on a project about an 11 year old when they collaborated on the Nickelodeon show Doug.

Winograd says she is definitely working on the third book in the series, in fact she has already started. “It’s called Lola Zola and the Bingo King. The story centers on a con man who sweeps into town selling pipe dreams and the towns people are all too willing to buy into his tricks, but Lola is onto him.”

Said Winograd.

Both authors credit Santa Monica as having an influence on their work, especially in the case of Lola Zola. “In Santa Monica there are kids like Lola Zola who aren’t focused on being pop idols like Kim Kardashian,” says Hirtz. “You see a lot in Santa Monica, you see kids acting out but you also see kids doing amazing things like raising money for earthquake victims in Nepal.”

Hirtz and Winograd are working with Brown Girls Publishing for the first time and they’re thrilled with the opportunity. “The publishing industry is changing so fast and in the midst of that they formed this company and it’s really taken off,” says Hirtz.

“They’re doing amazing things.”

Santa Monica Student Hanna Hone Awarded ICMA-RC Memorial Scholarship Santa Monica resident Hanna Hone, 21, has been selected to receive an ICMA-RC Public Employee Memorial Scholarship (ICMA-RC Memorial Scholarship). The ICMA-RC Memorial Scholarship Fund Board of Directors presented 36 scholarships for the 20152016 academic year to recipients from 17 different states.

ICMA-RC Memorial Scholarships are presented annually to surviving children and spouses of firefighters, police officers, and other public employees who have died in the line of duty.

Jack Hone died in the line of duty while serving the Santa Monica Fire Department.

Applicants are selected based on factors such as financial need, academic record, demonstrated leadership in school and community activities, honors, and work experience.

Located in Santa Monica off the Pacific Coast Highway on Beach House Way, admission to the pool is $10 for adults, $4 for kids and $5 for seniors. On Mondays, pool admission is only $1. Reservations are not required and passes are given in the form of wristbands giving guests access to the pool, changing rooms, showers and lockers.

The grounds, including the playground, beach area, courtyard, view deck, Marion Davies Guest House and restaurant are free and do not require pool admission.

The beach house has a wide range of special events planed for the summer that will please both old and young. Sunset Swims are perfect for adults looking for some kid-free relaxation. Held the second Friday of the month between 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. throughout the summer, Sunset Swims are a time where the pool is open for just adults. Each month, there is a different theme, including “Sunset Swim with a splash of the tropics� and “Sunset Swim goes to summer camp.� “We are always looking for a way to accommodate our guests’ requests and we had a number of persistent requests for adult time only at the pool,� Friedman said. “Early on we tried lap swimming and morning swims but we have learned a lot about our site and how people use our site so we are giving this a try and we will see how it goes. We are very excited about it.�

But kids don’t always want to be left out of the fun and they will not be thanks to the

Beach House’s annual Cardboard Yacht Regatta. Families and friends can pair up in teams of two to construct yachts to race in the pool from corrugated cardboard and duct tape. “The teams get really into it, they create incredibly complex boats that are highly themed and decorated. They take it really seriously and go all out and produce really incredible cardboard yachts,� Friedman said.

If swimming and yachts sound too chaotic, guests can also check out the Beach = Cultural events, a series of free concerts, readings, talks and exhibits at the Beach House. “We have an incredible array of really high quality artists,� Friedman said. “All of these are free. We just ask that you make an RSVP through our website.�

Guests are also invited to attend the Beach House’s 3rd Annual Community Picnic on July, 23 at 6 p.m. The event is free and friends and families are encouraged to pack a dinner for a fun and relaxing evening at the beach. “It’s a really great opportunity to treat the Beach House like your neighborhood park.

Everyone comes out and brings their own dinner. It’s a really lovely night to spend dining al fresco at the beach house with you community,� Friedman said.

At the end of the day Friedman believes that the Beach House is special in its ability to satisfy everybody, no matter what their age or interests are. “Everybody comes here and creates their own day and finds a way to have a great day at the Beach House,� she said.

BUDGET FROM PAGE 1

Members of the community can weigh in on the proposed budget — which includes a $1.29-million surplus in the general fund — before the board approves a final version, which is expected at its special meeting June 29.

REVENUE PROJECTIONS

The proposed SMMUSD budget reflects the latest estimates for state and federal revenues and comes as the district shoulders more responsibility in handling state money as part of the Local Control Funding Formula.

There was a projected $7.4-million deficit in the unrestricted general fund when the board evaluated the district budget in early May, but the budget was later updated to show a $1.07-million surplus in that fund.

The change was due in large part to an influx of money reflected in Gov. Jerry Brown’s revised state budget.

However, the district’s multi-year projections still show a $5.1-million shortfall in the unrestricted general fund in 2016-17 and a $5.5-million shortfall in 2017-18.

In the proposed 2015-16 budget, revenues totaling more than $138 million include about $84 million through LCFF as well as another $14.5 million in other state money and close to $11.3 million in parcel taxes.

Projected income sources also include $7.5 million from the City of Santa Monica

through Prop Y, another $8.6 million from the city through a joint-use agreement and $3.7 million through lease and rent agreements with the DoubleTree hotel and other entities.

The budget assumes a $2.2-million contribution from the Santa Monica-Malibu Education Foundation. The district’s fundraising arm was tasked with raising $4 million by June 30.

The projected Regional Occupational Program revenue is $407,379. The program is undergoing major changes to meet new state standards for career technical education.

EXPECTED EXPENDITURES

Salaries and benefits for district employees amount to about $118 million — 86 percent of the $136.7 million in proposed 201516 expenditures.

The district is adding the equivalent of 18 full-time certificated positions, including the equivalent of 12 full-time teachers and 2.8 teaching positions in special education, according to a SMMUSD report. Placements are based on district enrollment, which is expected to be 11,173.

The budget also accounts for the addition of a special education psychologist, a facilities director and a construction supervisor.

Other planned expenditures include $14 million in operating costs, $3.7 million for books and supplies and $1.09 million in capital outlay. jeff@smdp.com

in-service failure of transformers, switches, or conductors.

Outages caused by equipment failure lasted longer than those caused by any other issue, including animals and vegetation.

Weather, fires, or earthquakes were the third most common cause of outages.

Edison is in the midst rehabilitating circuits, a project that started, conceptually, in 2012. Construction began this year.

“Ongoing work includes service requests from customers, preventative maintenance, and repairs due to failures,” city officials said in a report to council. “SCE is also making a significant investment to replace aging equipment through infrastructure replacement projects. These projects expand and upgrade transmission and distribution networks and improve reliability by replacing equipment before it fails.”

These capital improvement projects cost about $4.5 million Reviewing metrics from the last several years, it became clear that eight under-

ground vaults needed replacement and two circuits needed to be rebuilt.

Three vaults have already been completed (on Arizona Avenue around Second Street, Marine and Main Street, and Broadway and Second Street) and two are scheduled for completion later this month (on Arizona around Fourth Court and San Vicente Boulevard around First Court).

A circuit rebuild on Ashland Avenue at Pearl Street is scheduled to be completed this month and the other, on Montana Avenue and San Vicente, is slated for completion by the end of the year.

Thanks to new requirements on electrical poles, Edison will also be checking out all of the city’s poles over the next few months.

“Areas designated as potential high wind zones and high fire (meaning potential fire if loss of pole integrity), primarily in the northwest area of the City, will be prioritized first,” city officials said in the report to council. “Based on the results of the assessment a prioritized schedule of necessary pole replacements will be developed and implemented over the next couple of years.”

S T A F F

Crime Watch is culled from reports provided by the Santa Monica Police Department.

These are arrests only. All parties are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

ON JUNE 11 AT APPROXIMATELY 11 A.M. Officers responded to the 2300 block of Ocean Park Boulevard in response to a domestic violence call. Upon arrival, officers were met by the victim, and she stated that she had stopped by to check in on her ex-fiancé, later identified as Shelton Lorick, 63 year old transient, because she was worried about his well-being. Soon after her arrival an argument ensued over relationship issues.

As the victim attempted to leave multiple times, Lorick physically stopped her and proceeded to push her. Lorick continued pushing the victim toward the restroom forcing her to lose her footing and fall inside the shower floor. Once the victim was inside the shower, Lorick began to punch the victim in the face. The victim began to yell for help, when a witness approached the door and asked if everything was okay and that he was going to call the police. When police arrived, the suspect was found sitting across the street.

He was arrested for domestic violence. Bail was set at $50,000.

■ The law of turkey-baster insemination took a turn in Virginia in April when mother Joyce Bruce was unable to keep sperm-provider Robert Boardwine out of her son’s life. Bruce relied on a state statute that seemed to allow her sole parenthood if the pregnancy was based on assisted-reproduction medical technology. However, the Court of Appeals of Virginia declared that a “kitchen implement” is not “medical technology” and, considering Boardwine’s genuine interest in fatherhood, ruled that he was entitled to joint custody and visitation rights.

■ Once again, in May, lawyers went to court trying to persuade a judge that some rights under the U.S. Constitution be extended to intelligent apes (here, chimpanzees, as

SHEPARD

“autonomous and self-determining beings” at least as perceptive as, for example, severely mentally ill people, who retain rights while institutionalized). Lawyers are once again asking for a writ of habeas corpus (now available only to humans) to take Hercules and Leo out of a lab and into a sanctuary. (Adding to the discussion, in the week after the court hearing, a Harvard professor and colleagues, writing in the journal Current Anthropology, hypothesized that chimps could cook foods if given the chance. Tests revealed that they resist raw food when they are able to place it into a device that made it taste better -- which in theory makes them more intelligent than children who eat cookie dough.)

‘Cause Celeb’ catches celebrities in the act of doing good

Down & dirty with Mike Rowe

By Colin Newton Whatever happened to good oldfashioned hard work? That's exactly what Mike Rowe, host of Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs and CNN's Somebody's Gotta Do It, wants to know. And that's why he made the mikeroweWORKS Foundation. “Nobody else seems to celebrate work ethic,� Rowe told Giive a (bleep). “We reward work ethic.�

The mikeroweWORKS Foundation started during the recession as a PR

campaign in defense of jobs that existed, but people seemed to be ignoring, Rowe said. Jobs like plumbers, carpenters and welders. “We've told our kids those opportunities are for losers. That's the mindset that fuels the misconception,�

Rowe said.

So now, the foundation also supplies scholarships for people to work for companies like Ford and Caterpillar.

Where does the money for the scholarships come from, you ask?

★★★★ You could feel as if you need to take a different road. You might be insecure, but with the amount of supporters you have, you’ll sense that the results will be excellent. Don’t allow a loved one’s display of anger stop you. Go for what you want. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

From C.R.A.P., of course. That is, Collectibles Rare and Precious —the auctioning of Rowe's personal stuff collected during his TV work.

Anybody familiar with Dirty Jobs can guess some of the “precious� stuff. “I had a box of fossilized polar bear (bleep) that people bid hundreds of dollars for," Rowe said. "I sold a baby

bottle full of horse semen.�

Rowe isn't anti-college, he just wants to see society embrace multiple paths to economic fulďŹ llment. “What I learned halfway through the ďŹ rst season was that the people I was proďŹ ling were a whole lot happier and more balanced than most of my friends,â€? he said. “Certainly people in Hollywood.â€? “We don't value work,â€? Rowe said.

Consequently, we don't value the people who do it.

"As a result, we don't champion opportunities that really exist.�

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ You’ll have good reason to approach a situation in a different way. You are likely to get the results you have been hoping for. Don’t allow money to become too much of a theme. A friend suddenly could become demanding. Pull back for now. Tonight: Your treat.

Wednesday, June 24, 2015

★★★★ Be aware of what is happening around you. A partner’s efforts will pay off in a way that neither of you had anticipated. Tap into your creativity for solutions. You will be amazed by how a situation can be transformed so that all parties are happy. Tonight: Reach out to a friend.

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

This year you tend to feel pressured. You often say one thing but do another. Others in your life might find your messages to be somewhat conflicting and difficult to understand. If you are single, you could meet someone of significance anytime from mid-August on. You might meet this person in your daily travels, perhaps even while running errands. This bond will be an active one. If you are attached, you both develop an increased desire to spend more time together. LIBRA is caring yet different from you.
