Paper Mate settlement ends with $10M payment MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor

The City Council has accepted a $10 million payment to conclude a longstanding settlement between the city and the former owners of the Paper Mate factory.

Proctor & Gamble had been making annual payments and had up to 22 years to pay off the entire sum but chose to make a single payment this year to conclude the case.

The company was on the hook for the payments following a series of mergers related to the property

at 1681 26th St. that housed a pen factory for several years.

Gillette Co. purchased Paper Mate in 1995 and opened the manufacturing facility in 1997. Proctor & Gamble bought out Gillette in 2005 SEE SETTLEMENT PAGE 5

KIDSAVE: Santa Monica residents adopt Columbian orphans.

MARINA ANDALON Daily Press Staff Writer

Tom Beaulieu has adopted two children from non-profit organization Kidsave and the Ocean Park resident is hoping to convince other locals to provide a family to children in need.

Every year Kidsave puts on their annual Summer Miracle Program.

The hosting program allows families to experience and engage with foster children from Columbia who are searching for a family.

Kidsave said their mission ensures that no orphan or foster child is forgotten and that every child grows up in a family.

According to their website, there have been 5,549 children that have been hosted for family visits and have been matched with families.

Beaulieu said, “This program

has enriched my life so much.”

The program gives families to older orphans ages 11 to 14 who have a slim chance of being adopted in their own country.

The children travel from Columbia and stay in the United States for four weeks, attend day camps, and social weekend events.

The children are currently one week into their program and are searching for permanent families.

Beaulieu and partner Lori Brown decided to be a host family in 2009 and since then they haven’t looked back.

In 2009 the two hosted 11-year old boy Santiago. All three agreed it was the best summer ever, which lead Beaulieu and Brown to go to Columbia and pick up Santiago to officially adopt him. Santiago SEE ORPHANS PAGE 7

California fires are early, unpredictable after winter rain CHRISTOPHER WEBER Associated Press

Timber and brush parched from a yearslong dry spell and thick grass that grew after drought-busting winter downpours are making for early and unpredictable wildfire behavior that California officials haven’t seen for years, if at all.

Dense layers of new grass are providing a “fine fuel” for flames that then gain speed and intensity by moving through “standing dead fuel” made up of vegetation and trees that shriveled during the state’s six-year drought, said Kathleen Schori with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

“It’s difficult to remember a year quite like this one,” she said Tuesday. “There’s such a mix of fuels that these large damaging fires are starting at least a month earlier than usual.” The result, she said, could be a longer and more destructive fire season than California has experienced in a while.

Crews were making progress against dozens of wildfires across California, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.

Authorities surveying the damage from a blaze in Northern California said Tuesday that at least 36 homes and 37 other buildings had been destroyed near the town of Oroville, about 150 miles (241 kilometers) northeast of San Francisco.

Residents had started to return home after fleeing a wildfire in the grassy foothills of the Sierra Nevada, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) north of Sacramento, but at least 4,000 were still evacuated. The blaze burned nearly 9 square miles (23 square kilometers) and injured four firefighters. It was partially contained.

Schori said this year’s conditions were similar to California’s 1979 wildfire season, which came on the heels of a two-year dry spell and saw blazes blackening a total of 386 square miles (999 square kilometers) of grass, brush and timber and caused more

than $30 million in damage. However, that year’s major fires didn’t kick off until well into August, she said, as did the destructive 1992 blazes that followed a drought that started five years earlier.

Major downpours last winter pulled the state out of years of drought but also brought a layer of grass that early-summer fires are greedily feeding on.

“That creates faster moving fires, hotter fires, it carries fire much more readily,” said Santa Barbara County fire Capt. Dave Zaniboni, whose department was battling two large wildfires.

Older, dried out trees and vegetation are especially dangerous for wildland blazes, but enough new and drying grass can provide links between such tinderboxes.

With the dense grass as the “carrier,” the firefight becomes much more challenging because “you have to make sure the water is getting all the way down to the smoldering areas below,” Schori said. “It takes a lot more effort to extinguish grass fires.”

In Southern California’s Santa Barbara County, at least 3,500 people remained out of their homes due to a pair of fires. The larger of the two charred more than 45 square miles (116 square kilometers) of dry brush and has burned 20 structures since it broke out. It was 45 percent contained. To the south a 17-square-mile (44-square-kilometer) wildfire that destroyed 20 structures is 25 percent contained. Crews were getting a break from rising humidity and light winds.

In Colorado, crews were winding down the fight against a wildfire that temporarily forced the evacuation of hundreds of people near the resort town of Breckenridge.

Firefighters built containment lines around at least 85 percent of the blaze.

Associated Press writers Andrew Dalton in Los Angeles and Kristin J. Bender in San Francisco contributed to this report.

California trail reopens after armed holdup of rescuers BRIAN MELLEY Associated Press

WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE CARELESSNESS OR NEGLIGENCE OF OTHERS. • • • • • • • •

State

An overheated, seriously dehydrated hiker was in distress and help was on the way until rescuers ran into two men armed with rifles.

The gunmen took radios from the Kern County search and rescue volunteers and sent them back where they came from, leaving the ailing hiker stranded for several more thirsty hours Saturday.

A section of the Pacific Crest Trail running from Mexico to Canada was closed as SWAT team members joined deputies to search for the robbers.

The trail reopened late Monday. It wasn’t immediately known if the suspects had been found.

It’s extremely rare for rescuers to be assaulted, but it’s not unheard of. Last year, a volunteer rescuer searching for a missing hiker was shot and wounded near the South Yuba River in Northern California.

The incident Saturday in the remote Piute Mountains about 85 miles (137 kilometers) north of Los Angeles occurred after hiker Charles Brandenburg became dehydrated in scorching heat and activated a rescue device that allowed him to send text messages to authorities.

Hikers trying to complete the 2,650-mile (4,265-kilometer) trail have encountered several challenges from an exceptionally wet winter that left a persistent snowpack and has made for arduous plodding and presented several hazards. Several hikers have been injured, and others have reported close calls scaling icy passes and fording raging rivers.

Brandenburg had left the trail for three weeks in June so the snowpack would melt more before he arrived in the rugged high Sierra Nevada. However, the delay meant he was hiking through extreme desert heat in

the past week and with diminishing options for water along the way.

“I needed water really bad,” Brandenburg said.“I undercut it. It was a mistake on my part.”

After hiking through heat as high as 110 degrees (43 Celsius), he became extremely dehydrated Friday and began dry heaving and cramping.

He awoke at 4 a.m. Saturday to beat the heat, but only had about a cup of water left and was nine miles short of his next water stop. He only got a few miles before he called for help.

Four volunteers with the Kern County Search and Rescue team set out on foot to bring Brandenburg water and became separated, Sgt. Zack Bittle said. One pair turned down the wrong trail, where they encountered the robbers who stole their radios.

The rescuers were unharmed, but they were followed by the gunmen as they hiked back toward the Pacific Crest Trail, Bittle said. Eventually, the two men ran off.

While Brandenburg waited for help to arrive, other hikers showed up and gave him some water and waited with him.

What he expected would take a couple hours turned into about a 12-hour ordeal as he learned by text message about the robbery and was told to stay put until a helicopter could airlift him and the others to safety.

Brandenburg, 55, of Mendocino, said one man hid in the sparse forest while they waited for help. But he and two others weren’t sure how seriously to take the warning until the helicopter arrived and lowered a SWAT officer in camouflage to the ground.

“Then we knew it was real,” he said. “It was really a trip. It was like a movie.”

Brandenburg decided to move to higher ground, hoping to hitch a ride to Kennedy Meadows in the Southern Sierra to resume his trek in cooler temps.

leaving them responsible for clean-up efforts at the site after chemicals leached into the ground contaminating the nearby water supply.

Alan Seltzer with the City Attorney’s office said after the threat of litigation, the company entered into the settlement to facilitate cleanup. Seltzer credited Interim City Attorney Joe Lawrence for negotiating the settlement.

“What happened recently was Gillette offered to accelerate the payments and pay all the amounts due over the next 22 years in one payment this month,” he said. “So instead of getting a couple of hundred thousand dollars over the next 22 years totaling about $13 million, the City will get this month, $10,400,000 which is the current value of the money over time,” he said.

Seltzer said it was a “pretty good arrangement” that will aid the city as it incurs more costs to treat groundwater.

“Having the money up front allows you to do more rather than the pay as you go financing,” he said.

Councilman Kevin McKeown made the motion to accept the payment.

ter remediation,” he said. “This $10 million goes into Santa Monica’s separate water fund, to help us get water independent, so it’s not a windfall — it’s more of a waterfall.”

Santa Monica draws water from several wells located along Olympic Blvd. and due to the nearby factory, water from those wells now contains what is known as Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs). To remove those contaminants from the water, it’s pumped to the City’s Arcadia treatment facility at the intersection of Bundy Dr. and Texas Ave. in West Los Angeles.

At the Arcadia facility, water from several city sources is mixed and purified to remove VOCs, contaminants from gasoline products and other sources of pollution. The water is filtered for heavy metals and sediment before being passed through reverse-osmosis (RO) filters that remove minerals like calcium and magnesium.

The water’s pH level is adjusted, fluoride is added, it is disinfected and aerated. The local water supply is tested more than 10,000 times a year to ensure safety.

A separate settlement with gasoline companies provided the city with funds to remove contamination from gasoline products and that settlement included the city taking ownership of property near the Arcadia plant near Wilshire and Bundy. editor@smdp.com

from the City; and the City makes a dent in its affordable housing crisis while freeing up transitional housing resources for the next homeless person.

By 2015, however, in the midst of a deepening affordable housing crisis, many local landlords had adopted blanket discrimination policies against Section 8, even though their rents were at or below the Section 8 payment standard. The impact on lowincome residents like Ellie was severe: they were spending time and money applying for such apartments, only to get turned away because of the voucher.

So in May of 2015, the Santa Monica City Council added “source of income” to the City’s list of tenant characteristics (such as disability and family status) that are protected from discrimination. (Race, religion and other classes are already protected by state and federal fair housing laws.) Adding “source of income” to that list now prevents landlords from refusing to rent to a person based on governmentsponsored assistance like Section 8. It does not require landlords to reduce rents. The new law recently survived a court challenge.

Craig Perry’s 2015 Properties needs to step into 2017 and revise its policy. If you have questions about Santa Monica’s antidiscrimination laws, or have information about possible violations, call the City Attorney’s Office at (310) 458-8336.

Properties in Santa Monica. How may I help you?”

“Good morning, sir. My name is Ellie Ramirez and I’m calling about the one bedroom apartment in Sunset Park that’s advertised on Craigslist.”

“You’re in luck, Ellie. It’s still available and I’m the manager, Craig Perry. “The rent is $1,900 a month,” Craig adds. “When we run your credit report, will we see that you can afford that?”

“Oh, yes,” replies Ellie. “I work part-time and just got a Section 8 housing voucher so I can afford up to—” “Sorry,” Craig interrupts, “but we don’t accept Section 8. Good luck.”

The line goes dead.

Ellie stares at her phone. She is a 37year-old Santa Monica native who nearly became homeless after a layoff in 2014. She and her eight-year-old daughter have spent the last few months in transitional housing. After two years on the waiting list for the City of Santa Monica’s Housing Voucher Program (also known as “Section 8”), she has finally obtained the voucher that aids low-income families in finding a decent place to live. Once a family is approved, it pays 30 to 40 percent of its annual income toward rent; the voucher covers the rest of the rent.

Ellie has already endured some tough months, but this phone call unnerves her.

She expected scrutiny in her apartment search – but not blanket policies against Section 8. She wonders, What if no one accepts my voucher?

The good news for Ellie is that many Santa Monica landlords already accept Section 8. The subsidy program presents a proverbial win-win-win situation: The tenant gets safe, decent housing; the landlord gets steady income and tenant-relations help

returned to Santa Monica in 2010 with a permanent family and soon began at John Adams.

“Santiago is 19 years old now and just graduated from Santa Monica High School,” said Beaulieu. “He volunteers with the City, and volunteers to be a translator for Kidsave.”

According to their website, the non profit has found that since 1999 more than 1,750 children have participated in the program and over 80 percent of them have found permanent families as a result.

Santiago wasn’t the only one to be adopted by Beaulieu. Recently 15-year-old Johana visited Santa Monica as Beaulieu and Brown were once again a host family. Everyone got along so well, Beaulieu and Brown were ready to adopt again. She is now officially part of the Beaulieu family and plays soccer at Samohi.

“Being a host family is such a great feel-

OLYMPICS FROM PAGE 1

IOC President Thomas Bach.

Garcetti and Anne Hidalgo, his friend and counterpart from Paris, had emerged on stage seconds after the vote, holding hands, to welcome the decision. They were joined

by Bach, who raised an arm of each in a shared gesture of triumph.

The mood looked set to continue over dinner at the IOC’s favored five-star hotel, the Lausanne Palace.

The Franco-American alliance continues later this week. U.S. President Donald Trump is due in Paris to join President Emmanuel Macron for Bastille Day on Friday, the national holiday.

Macron was in the Olympic capital city Tuesday to promoting the Parisian cause — in a closed-door session with IOC members to explain how they would host the 2024 Olympics, and a subsequent news conference.

The presidential push was judged necessary by Paris, which has failed with three recent Olympic bids.

“We lost three times, we don’t want to lose a fourth one,” Macron said at the news conference. “I’m here to convey the message that there’s a strong unity to back this candidacy.”

Minutes after Macron spoke, Trump wrote on Twitter: “Working hard to get the Olympics for the United States (L.A.). Stay tuned!”

Even without help from heads of state, LA and Paris are likely to reach a deal. A headto-head fight for 2024 would create a loser that is unlikely to return four years later for a new 2028 bid contest.

“Both of us will find it more and more difficult to convince cities — whether it’s Paris, Los Angeles or other American cities — to really go into this process if one of us gets turned down,” Garcetti had said earlier Tuesday.

A deal to make both cities winners would fulfil a strategy that Bach set in motion last December to help safeguard a stable future for the signature Olympic event.

Asked when a 2024-2028 agreement could be sealed, Bach suggested: “If you ask me, I hope that in August we could be there.”

The IOC approved the expected double award after hearing both cities present their 2024 hosting plans at a conference center in its home city.

ing. What I get out of it is 500 times more than what the kids get out of this,” said Beaulieu.

Johana’s biological brother, Johnson is currently an orphan and is visiting Santa Monica and is currently staying with Beaulieu but is looking for a permanent family.

Beaulieu explains Johnson is a caring and sweet boy and would like to see him find a permanent family.

“Every weekend there is an advocacy event, this is where people who have an interest can come and meet these incredible kids,” said Beaulieu.

The kids from the organization will be leaving back to Columbia on August 2. If interested in learning about the program or Johnson as he spends three more weeks in Santa Monica, call (310) 642 – 7283 or visit https://www.kidsave.org/programs/orphanhosting/.

“This has been the greatest thing that has happened to me,” said Beaulieu.

Both cities used 45 minutes of videos and speeches in a closed-door session with IOC members to explain how they would host the 2024 Olympics.

At separate news conferences, the mayors said they could work toward a deal.

“We look forward to working together, maybe not in competition but collaboration with Paris,” Garcetti said.

Garcetti and Hidalgo have long touted their good relations, and on Tuesday noted their cities’ common positions on issues such as climate change and welcoming refugees.

Hidalgo cited her friendship with Garcetti as potentially a “key element” in the expected deal.

The dual award can give the IOC a decade of stability with two world-class cities touting financially secure bids. LA plans to use only existing venues with zero risk of white elephants. This follows years of overspending by Olympic hosts and a series of political defeats that have sunk the campaigns of potential candidates.

It also avoids inflicting a third recent defeat on Paris — which lost with bids for the 2008 and 2012 Olympics — and the United States. New York and Chicago both lost heavily for 2012 and 2016, respectively.

Those losses deepened a rift between the U.S. Olympic Committee and the Swissbased IOC that LA 2024 and a new team of American officials have worked hard to heal.

Paris also failed with a 1992 bid and pinned its hopes on hosting in 2024, exactly 100 years after its previous Summer Games.

Garcetti said the Olympic movement “can’t afford to lose the United States.”

The IOC’s most valuable TV rights deal is with NBC and several of its top-tier sponsors are American.

Still, a 2028 Olympics in Southern California could be the first American-hosted games since 1996 in Atlanta.

Bach has said the idea of a double award was presented to him at a lunch last year by friends whom he declined to identify in a recent interview with French sports daily L’Equipe.

The LA bid team declined to comment Tuesday whether the suggestion came from its supporters, as some believe.

“He (Bach) has good friends who gave him good advice,” LA bid chairman Casey Wasserman said.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 12)

By PETER GALLAGHER

Strange Brew

By JOHN DEERING

You have healed yourself and will now assist others in feeling better and functioning at a higher level. You’ll spend work hours wisely and be paid well for your efficiency. The financial trend will help you to become more comfortable. Improved communication makes new relationships possible. Capricorn and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 30, 9, 28 and 25.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

Be patient enough to do what it takes to solve a problem once and for all. The first answer you come up with may not be the best. Go deeper. Ask, “What else? How else?”

Gather information. Get clarity on all communication. You are mighty intuitive now, but you’ll learn more by asking than by assuming you already have the answers.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

People want to share with you. Show-and-tell time will start out interesting. Brevity is the way to keep it that way. Ward against oversharing and stick to the safe topics.

If you’re constantly standing up for yourself around a certain person, it’s a red flag. Don’t ignore the signal that a person doesn’t accept and support you as you are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Life won’t provide you with incentives, but you’re so creative that you can come up with some pretty awesome ones when you’re at a loss. Keep the momentum up today: Know what you’re looking forward to and envision the prize.

Start making plans for the upcoming event.

It’s a lucky time to free-associate about how you want this to go. Gather inspiration and ideas. Talk to the ones who have done it before.

Agnes

By TONY COCHRAN

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) CANCER (June 22-July 22) Most children don’t think so, but life really is better with fewer sweets, less screen time and more fresh air. You’ll tap into your grown-up instincts and feel wonderful for the effort.

You’ll listen to different philosophies, some of which will be easier to relate to than others.

Your open mind will hold some of this information for later when it better applies.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Long-term thinking isn’t always so fun, and thinking only of the moment is foolish. There’s a sweet spot in the middle of short- and longterm thinking that will be wonderfully accommodating to your plans.

Your active mind may also become restless tonight. Just remember that sleep is an important part of any mammal’s life.

Instead of lying awake with worry, outline a plan.

Dogs of C-Kennel

By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your incredible gift of adaptability will kick in today. You’ll stretch, flex and grow yourself in order to meet the new situation. Your lack of ego is what makes this possible.

Getting back to basics is a very personal process, since what is “basic” to you is not even in the realm for someone else. Honor your own essentials regardless of whether the others understand what you need.

Zack Hill

By JOHN DEERING & JOHN NEWCOMBE

Aquarius Lunar Exam Rene Descartes said, “Cogito ergo sum,” or “I think, therefore I am.” If only that were always the case.

Alas, in the end, most of us will be judged not for what we thought but for what we did. The Aquarius moon, both mentally bright and philanthropically good, invites us to examine intellect versus character and how they play out in daily life.
