Museum celebrates City’s birthday JESSICA RAMIREZ Daily Press Intern
On Saturday July 15, the Santa Monica History Museum will host a celebration in honor of the City’s 142nd Anniversary. For this special event, the museum is offering 50 cent admission for student, adults, and seniors as well as a limited time offer of a reduced membership cost at just $18.75 during the month of July. Veterans and children ages 12 and under are free. Among the various displays, the Museum will offer free monthly educational programs, the Hands on History program and Discovery the History which will be centered
around early Santa Monica history. The Hands on History program will be taking place from 11a.m.12 p.m. and Discover the History will be taking place from 3:30 p.m.- 5 p.m. Museum officials said the birthday celebration goes beyond the typical events held by the museum because it is more about giving back and bringing the community together. The program focuses on teaching young children ages 5-11 and providing them a setting with interactive elements to reinforce what they just learned. Museum Manager Ashley SEE MUSEUM PAGE 5

Gizara has lived in Ocean Park for the last 11 years and can’t picture herself living anywhere else. The Santa Monica artist will show her pieces from her Ocean Park series from July 15 through September 13 and is entitled Spontaneous Chaos. The series was inspired by the sea, the salt air and the blue skies, and will be featured at the C Gallery.
“It consist of a series of black and white paintings filled with swirling energy, a direct result of living close to the ocean,” said Gizara. Gizara explains she always felt joy and comfort when living next to beach, making Santa Monica the perfect location for her. The C Gallery is not the only location her art is being featured. She has a photography show at the SFO Museums and will be having a photography show on July 15 at Bergamot Station at the DNJ Gallery.

A plan to extend California’s signature climate initiative for another decade is scheduled to go before legislative committees Thursday, despite opposition from some environmental advocates. Gov. Jerry Brown and top lawmakers have struggled to line up support with Democratic legislative leaders indicating Wednesday that climate and air quality negotiations had expanded to include the state’s lack of affordable housing. Brown is pressing lawmakers to extend California’s cap-and-trade legislation, which puts a limit on carbon emissions and requires polluters to obtain permits to release greenhouse gases.
