State GOP hopes statewide slate lifts others, too

THE LOSING IT FOR ‘LOST’ ISSUE

Showdown brewing over bicycle lane

SAN DIEGO For the first time in memory, California Republicans have a diverse statewide slate of candidates to field this fall, a lineup their state party chairman calls “an inspirational ticket.” Coupled with national momentum for conservatives, the California GOP is hoping this might be their breakthrough year.

Yet it’s far from clear whether voters in California, where Democrats have a nearly 15-point voter registration advantage, will see the same glitter the GOP faithful perceive.

Their candidates have been pushing for smaller government, fewer regulations on businesses and lower taxes. Democrats have countered that the Republican Party is just promoting what it always has — a pro-business agenda that punishes the middle class and working class.

Despite their registration edge, the top Democratic candidates are working hard to retain the middle-of-the-road voters who have helped the party dominate statewide elections over the past two decades.

Republicans were buoyed at their weekend meeting in San Diego by appearances from their top candidates, gubernatorial nominee Meg Whitman, the former chief executive of eBay, and former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who is challenging Sen. Barbara Boxer, a liberal stalwart reviled by conservatives.

Now that their candidates are through contentious primaries, some delegates are hoping they can successfully sway those centrist voters who will be key to a November win.

“Both of them are going to have to reach out to the Latinos, independents and the decline-to-states because we need those votes,” said Alice Anderson, of Dana Point.

“We’re hoping those people will think as we do and realize what a good team we have right now.”

Republicans account for less than 31 percent of registered voters in California, compared with the Democrats’ 44.5 percent.

Independents are one-fifth of the electorate.

Both sides are touting polls that show the

on the Planning Commission and City Council are headed for a high-stakes clash with bio-tech firm Agensys over a proposed bike lane they want incorporated into a proposed office development the company is planning on the east side of town.

Proponents of the idea say it’s crucial that Agensys, a cancer research company that is seeking a development agreement with City Hall to build a 153,000 square-foot complex at 1800 Stewart St., include the bike lane through its project in order to win approval.

The lane, they say, would be a vital link in a hoped-for cross-city bike route that would connect the future Bergamot Station light rail stop to Santa Monica High School, the Civic Center and the beach via Michigan Avenue.

Agensys, which is on a tight deadline to win City Hall approval for its project or else move out of Santa Monica, has said there’s no way to incorporate the bike path into the design.

“We made a real good faith effort to try to accommodate a bike path, and it just can’t be feasibly done without putting people in harms way, which I don’t think is anybody’s desire,” said Dale Goldsmith, a land use attorney representing Agensys.

Goldsmith said his client is offering “abundant public benefits” as part of the proposed development agreement including a pedestrian walkway, a small public park, a publicly accessible cafe and a transportation demand management program.

The bike path, he said, would have to either cut through the middle of the property or run through the parking lot. Both scenarios would pose significant collision risks, he said.

A decision on the Agensys project will have to come soon.

A hearing on the development agreement before the Planning Commission was postponed last week, putting Agensys on a strict schedule to complete the deal.

The company, which has several locations in town, is seeking to consolidate its facilities SEE BIKES PAGE 8

L.A. unveils costliest school site in the nation CHRISTINA HOAG Associated Press Writer

young man besieged by neighbors after he wins a $370 million jackpot, opened in fourth place with $11.1 million.

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg’s cop comedy “The Other Guys” held up well in its third weekend, with the Sony release taking in $10.1 million and boosting its total to $88.2 million.

“The Other Guys” was in a tossup for No. 5 with the Weinstein Co. horror remake “Piranha 3D,” which opened with $10 million. Inspired by the low-budget 1978 “Piranha,” the update is set at a lake where spring-break partiers are consumed by prehistoric man-eating fish.

LOS ANGELES Next month’s opening of the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools will be auspicious for a reason other than its both storied and infamous history as the former Ambassador Hotel, where the Democratic presidential contender was assassinated in 1968.

With an eye-popping price tag of $578 million, it will mark the inauguration of the nation’s most expensive public school ever.

The K-12 complex to house 4,200 students has raised eyebrows across the country as the creme de la creme of “Taj Mahal” schools, $100 million-plus campuses boasting both architectural panache and deluxe amenities.

“There’s no more of the old, windowless cinderblock schools of the ‘70s where kids felt, ‘Oh, back to jail,’” said Joe Agron, editorin-chief of American School & University, a school construction journal. “Districts want a showpiece for the community, a really impressive environment for learning.”

Not everyone is similarly enthusiastic.

“New buildings are nice, but when they’re run by the same people who’ve given us a 50 percent dropout rate, they’re a big waste of taxpayer money,” said Ben Austin, executive director of Parent Revolution who sits on the California Board of Education. “Parents aren’t fooled.”

At RFK, the features include fine art murals and a marble memorial depicting the complex’s namesake, a manicured public park, a state-of-the-art swimming pool and preservation of pieces of the original hotel.

Partly by circumstance and partly by design, the Los Angeles Unified School District has emerged as the mogul of Taj Mahals.

The RFK complex follows on the heels of two other LA schools among the nation’s costliest — the $377 million Edward R. Roybal Learning Center, which opened in 2008, and the $232 million Visual and

Stallone’s ‘Expendables’ retains crown with $16.5M DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES Sylvester Stallone’s “The Expendables” fought off an onslaught of newcomers to finish on top of the weekend box office again.

Lionsgate’s “The Expendables” remained No. 1 for a second straight weekend with $16.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Directed by and starring Stallone, the action romp about mercenaries aiming to overthrow a dictator raised its total to $64.9 million.

Five new wide releases debuted to crowd the market, but none managed to pack in huge audiences and knock off “The Expendables.”

“Given all that competition in the marketplace, I don’t think there was any guar-

antee we would hold this strong, but we did,” said David Spitz, head of distribution for Lionsgate.

Leading the newcomers was 20th Century Fox’s “Twilight” spoof “Vampires Suck” with $12.2 million, raising its total to $18.6 million since it opened Wednesday.

The movie mocks the blockbuster franchise with a parody about a moody schoolgirl in a love triangle with a vampire and a werewolf.

“Vampires Suck” was in a photo finish for the No. 2 spot with another holdover, Julia Roberts’ drama “Eat Pray Love.” The Sony film about a divorced woman traveling the world in search of fulfillment pulled in $12 million to lift its total to $47.1 million.

SMRR steering committee: ‘What, us worry?’

Editor:

The city of Bell has made national news. The story of unbelievable salaries and cronyism, all at the expense of the community, has become an outrage, not only to Bell citizens, but to people all over the country.

Hopefully, though, the story of Bell’s corruption and overreaching power will go further than just a specific city’s headlines, causing people everywhere to be curious and proactive about how their own city government functions.

Here in Santa Monica, for instance, we have been saddled with a long-standing political machine called Santa Monicans for Renters’ Rights (SMRR). It marched into the limelight on the coattails of a rigid rent control law in 1979. Over the years, it has gained absolute power, entrenching itself in every department, every corner of this city determining our public policy.

We used to have elections where a variety of independent citizens would run on ideas and merit. But all that has changed and dwindled, as the all po-erful SMRR organization cleverly funded “slates” of people, previewed and endorsed by a small caucus of SMRR “regulars." Millions of dollars are funneled into SMRR campaign coffers, producing prolific, glossy mailers, and postcards listing their slates, days, or even the night before, an important election. It is no wonder that it has become a rare event when anybody but a SMRRendorsed individual even wins a seat on anything.

Usually prepackaged with SMRR’s slate of people is some convenient “issue” rallying a group to their side.

“Saving” rent control dominates their agenda. It is no different in the upcoming election. Recently the council has authorized a ballot measure, for this fall’s election, to “expand tenant protection” against evictions.

With literally hundreds of “for rent” signs flowering Santa Monica’s landscape, owners offering all kinds of financial incentives to rent their units, in many cases “lowering” the rents of tenants in place, why does the City Council see this issue as a mandate, or even being relevant? It’s not. It’s political bait in order to hook votes for SMRR-endorsed candidates, especially from those who benefit from 30-years-ago pricing. Many, if not most, of these renters are high income folks, not the low income people which SMRR loves to profile in it’s campaign rhetoric and literature.

Maybe that is why the council has created yet another issue-oriented proposition in November to complement its standard fare of rent control. This second one involves increasing the sales tax to 10.25 percent to “save” our schools. However, the strange thing is that there is no guarantee that the money will be used for that purpose in the ballot measure. It’s just the council’s words. Meanwhile our city continues to buy land Downtown, at the tune of $40 million, for no stated purpose and has given $6 million to develop yet more low income rental housing. Why not use some of this “extra” money to help the schools, instead of impacting our business community with a higher sales tax?

J. Tousignant Santa Monica

THE RUCKUS BEGAN AFTER MEMBERS OF

Santa Monicans for Renters’ Rights gathered for their annual convention to endorse candidates for local races this November. Within days of the convention, the group’s Steering Committee met privately and voted to add to the party slate three SMRR loyalists who’d been passed over by the membership.

The rank and file howled. They complained that including City Councilmember Pam O’Connor and current school board members Oscar de la Torre and Ralph Mechur on SMRR’s slate circumvented the democratic process and made the convention a “waste of time.”

Justifications and excuses flooded this newspaper from SMRR’s leadership. SMRR Co-chairs Richard Tahvildaran-Jesswein and Patricia Hoffman wrote (“SMRR in its own words,” Aug. 5), “When the convention fails to endorse a full slate, the Steering Committee is charged with determining, by a two-thirds majority, if it wants to add candidates to fill the slate.”

“Time to get a set of SMRR’s bylaws,” I told myself. So, I phoned around and was informed that they were hard to come by.

Meanwhile, SMRR Steering Committee member/spokesperson Sonya Fox Sultan also wrote in (“Defending the Steering Committee,” Aug. 11) rationalizing the committee’s actions. “By adding candidates who have consistently supported rent control and worked hard to protect tenants, the Steering Committee fulfilled one of its most important responsibilities to the broader SMRR membership.”

She added that the committee “will not shy away from … complaints from outsiders or from newly-minted SMRR members who may not share our deep commitment to SMRR’s platform and core values.” Whoa, Nellie!

Core values? SMRR has declared repeatedly that its number one “public” priority is “affordable housing,” most of which goes to out-of-towners. Nevertheless, at election time, SMMR tries to convince renters that without SMRR, rent control will die and they’ll all be evicted, en masse.

It’s just not true. I’ve been a renter here for nearly 40 years. Nobody in their right mind would threaten rent control — well OK, some gonzo landlord types may try, but they weren’t at the SMRR convention, so bringing it up as an excuse is just more crap.

While architect Mechur profits by designing affordable housing projects for providers such as Community Corp. of Santa Monica (SMRR’s favorite housing nonprofit), calling de la Torre and Mechur champions of SMRR’s core values is gratuitous at best.

A major SMRR platform plank is “protecting the community from excessive development and the traffic it generates.” Yet, the

Steering Committee added developerfriendly O’Connor to its list of four City Council endorsees, which also included two other pro-development candidates.

SMRR loves to reward loyal, long-time party workers and politicos regardless of qualifications or talent. It’s why certain folks get endorsed and explains, in the case of SMRR-supported school board members, the lousy job that they do. The committee’s major purpose is to make sure the game is played to win and SMRR stays in control — not, as they claim, serving residents.

The real howler was this Sultan gem: “SMRR is a diverse and welcoming organization.”

Remember those bylaws I wanted to see?

Sultan was one of the committee members I called about getting a set, a couple weeks ago. “I don’t have them,” she told me. The next day she told SMRR member Stanley Epstein she didn’t even know where she could find the bylaws.

Like any cabal, the less you know about it, the better off you are.

Imagine an attorney, Steering Committee member and SMRR spokesperson who doesn’t have or know where to find a set of bylaws? That’s stonewalling at its prime.

“Welcoming,” indeed.

REVISITING ARIZONA

City Council’s vote to boycott Arizona and then reject the bid of an Arizona-based firm to supply 20 mobile homes to the city’s Mountain View Mobile Home Park is fast becoming a hot news topic, regionally.

Council incumbents Gleam Davis and Terry O’Day wrote a letter (“Don’t get the wrong impression,” Aug. 13) stating, “It is inaccurate to claim that Tuesday night’s decision will cost the city $2 million.” They added that council “directed staff to reject all bids and negotiate a purchase on the open market.”

Until the purchase is made, we won’t know how “inaccurate” the $2 million additional cost figure is. It may be less — or more, however, we’re now spending thousands of dollars for staff to find alternative vendors, additional costs nobody is addressing.

Their nonsense continued. “The Arizona boycott adopted by council is a statement of our city’s values. … We should make the effort to stay true to this value. When we do, we will find that it doesn’t have to cost more to live with integrity, and in this instance it almost certainly should not.” We’ll see.

Maybe Davis and O’Day can get the little children riding the Santa Monica Pier carousel or Big Blue Bus riders to help pay for these cost overruns. Integrity? Badly misplaced.

For Gulf tourism, problem is perception — not oil NOAKI SCHWARTZ Associated Press Writer

BILOXI, Miss. On the great yawning porch that once belonged to Confederate president Jefferson Davis, two women sit in rockers listening to the cicadas and looking out over Mississippi Sound as they wait for their tour to begin.

Before Hurricane Katrina, some 200 people came each day to visit the house — the only structure on the oak-shaded Beauvoir estate not destroyed by the storm. And that’s just what’s needed to break even. Tourism has dropped off 20 percent here, with just a few visitors on some days since BP PLC’s well blew out in the Gulf of Mexico.

The story here is mirrored across the Gulf Coast. Beaches have been cleaned of crude, the leak has been plugged and some cities never had oil wash ashore at all. Still, tourists stay away from what they fear are oil-coated coastlines — a perception officials say could take years to overcome and cost the region billions of dollars.

“We had Katrina, then the recession and now we have the oil,” said Rick Forte, executive director of the Beauvoir estate. “It’s hard to overcome this when no one is coming.”

With the summer tourist season coming to a close after Labor Day weekend, destinations are scrambling to keep businesses afloat and hang on to the region’s 400,000 travel industry jobs. Some are trying discounts, special concerts and celebrityendorsed commercials inviting residents to visit attractions once seen as havens for outof-towners in their hometowns.

BP gave millions to the region for tourism promotion — $25 million to Florida and $15 million each to Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama — though most of that money already has been spent with little effect.

“Once perceptions are formed, they take quite some time to change,” said Geoff Freeman, executive vice president of the U.S. Travel Association, a national nonprofit trade association. “One of the best examples was after Katrina — here we were in 2010 and we were only now ready to get to 2005 levels.”

The association commissioned a study by the Oxford Economics forecasting group that projected the disaster could cost the region $22.7 billion by 2013. With a $500 million infusion from BP to promote tourism, they estimated that figure could drop to $15.2 billion. The group also said travel to the Gulf Coast wouldn’t rebound until at least 2013.

Communities known for their beaches or charter fishing appear to have suffered most, while a few others managed unexpected increases after an anemic recession year.

Tracy Louthain, spokeswoman for the Beaches of South Walton on Florida’s Gulf Coast, said summer occupancy was down 30

percent from last year. The agency is offering a bonus for travelers who book three-night stays in the area from now to the end of September: $250 gift cards to the Silver Sands Factory Stores or for future travel on Southwest Airlines.

In Alabama’s Dauphin Island, known for its sugar sand beaches and bird sanctuaries, 90 percent fewer people booked summer rentals compared to last summer, said Mayor Jeff Collier.

"We were hoping it was going to be our year to come back after the hurricane (Katrina),” he said.

Other cities with more attractions showed increases over last year. New Orleans began 2010 as the country’s top tourist destination, said Kelly Schultz, vice president of the city’s Convention and Visitors Bureau.

But after a flurry of news reports on the oil spill from New Orleans, officials spent much of the $5 million from BP assuring people oil wasn’t in their city, Schultz said.

One print ad featuring a couple strolling with cocktails in hand read: “In New Orleans, Things are Normal. Well, Our Normal.” Another with a photo of a large fried shrimp sandwich teased: “There is no Moratorium on Shrimp Po-Boys,” referring to the ban on deepwater drilling after the rig leased by BP exploded and spilled millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf.

“It’s our most important industry, and it’s an image-driven business,” Schultz said of the $5 billion a year tourism industry.

Miami spent the bulk of its $1.25 million from BP reminding overseas visitors that its beaches were clean. The first six months of hotel occupancy increased 8.1 percent over last year, and the South Florida city’s typically busy winter season also is expected to be strong.

“Could this year have been better had the oil spill not happened? Anecdotally the answer is yes,” said Rolando Aedo, senior vice president for marketing for the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Other communities had deceptively high occupancy rates because BP and federal officials were stationed nearby.

“I think we’re one of the overlooked victims,” said Leon Maisel with the Convention and Visitors Bureau in Mobile, Ala. “We have an elevated false economy because we were the staging area for the response team.”

Spill response workers may have filled the hotels, but that left tourists with nowhere to stay. And that meant no one was spending money on attractions such as the USS Alabama Battleship and the Mobile Carnival Museum. The state has launched a series of commercials featuring celebrities from Alabama, including actress Courteney Cox and singer Taylor Hicks, reminding families to return to beaches they’ve known for generations.

LOOKING WITHIN: Critics of the health care industry postulate that our society’s quickness to test for disease may in fact be causing more of it, especially in the case of medical scans.

The radiation dose from a typical CT scan is 600 times more powerful than the average chest x-ray.

for breast cancer wait until age 50 to begin getting mammograms — and then to get them every two years instead of annually.

However, the American Cancer Society argues that such restraint would result in women dying unnecessarily from delaying screenings.

Women with a family history of breast cancer may be at greatest risk. Researchers from the University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands found that five or more x-rays — or any exposure to radiation — before the age of 20 for “high risk” women increased the likelihood of developing breast cancer later by a factor of two and a half.

Individuals should ask tough questions of their physicians to determine if and how much screening is absolutely necessary to look for suspected abnormalities. Our knowledge of the risks of radiation-based screenings will only help us to make more informed decisions about our health.

The short answer is…maybe. Critics of the health care industry postulate that our society’s quickness to test for disease may in fact be causing more of it, especially in the case of medical scans. To wit, the radiation dose from a typical CT scan (short for computed tomography and commonly known as a “cat scan”) is 600 times more powerful than the average chest x-ray.

A 2007 study by Dr. Amy Berrington de González of the National Cancer Institute projected that the 72 million CT scans conducted yearly in the U.S. (not including scans conducted after a cancer diagnosis or performed at the end of life) will likely cause some 29,000 cancers resulting in 15,000 deaths two to three decades later. Scans of the abdomen, pelvis, chest and head were deemed most likely to cause cancer, and patients aged 35 to 54 were more likely to develop cancer as a result of CT scans than other age group.

Another study found that, among Americans who received CT scans, upwards of 20 percent had a false positive after one scan and 33 percent after two, meaning that such patients were getting huge doses of radiation without cause. And about seven percent of those patients underwent unnecessary invasive medical procedures following their misleading scans. CT scans are much more common today than in earlier decades, exacerbating the potential damage from false positives and excessive radiation exposure.

“Physicians and their patients cannot be complacent about the hazards of radiation or we risk creating a public-health time bomb,” says Dr. Rita Redberg, a cardiologist at University of California-San Francisco.

“To avoid unnecessarily increasing cancer incidence in future years, every clinician must carefully assess the expected benefits of each CT scan and fully inform his or her patients of the known risks of radiation.”

CT scans are not the only concern.

Mammograms are now routine for women over 40 years old. But some studies suggest that these types of screenings may cause more cancers than they prevent. Because of this, the federally funded U.S. Preventive Services Task Force now recommends that women not otherwise considered high risk

Over 80 arrested at L.A. rave party THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES Authorities say more than 80 young people were arrested at a rave party inside the Los Angeles Sports Arena, most on drugs charges.

Los Angeles Fire Department officials say paramedics treated 16 people for minor injuries at the 18th Annual Love Festival late Saturday and early Sunday.

Officials say three concertgoers were taken to hospitals by private ambulance.

A handful of minors were arrested for using false identifications to attempt to enter the electronic music party, attended by about 4,100 people.

Partygoers had to prove they were at least 18 years old, and all were searched for contraband, especially illegal drugs.

The event drew special attention, coming just two months after the suspected drug overdose death of a 15-year-old girl who attended the much larger Electric Daisy Carnival at the nearby Memorial Coliseum.

CHANGE YOUR LIFE with “Beyond O2” Alkaline Water Alkaline Water reverses the effects of illness and leads to:

More violence during pot raids THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SANTA ROSA Authorities are trying to determine what’s causing an increase in violence that has left five suspects dead during raids of marijuana gardens across Northern California during the past several weeks.

Most recently, one suspect was fatally shot in a gunbattle Wednesday when more than 60 law enforcement officers raided a marijuana garden in a remote area of Mendocino County.

Drug agents have been raiding marijuana grows across the region for years, but the raids this summer have turned increasingly violent.

“It’s not the way it used to be,” said Mendocino County Sheriff ’s Lt. Rusty Noe, who has led the county’s marijuana team for eight years. Two of the fatal pot field shootings involved deputies from his department.

Sonoma County officials have begun treating marijuana eradication efforts like SWAT operations, Sonoma County Sheriff ’s Capt. Matt McCaffrey said.

"These aren’t the same marijuana gardens as 20 years ago,” McCaffrey said.

Though most suspects at the marijuana

gardens flee when law enforcement officials raid a grow, some pull out their weapons.

“It’s possible they’re acting out with violence because they feel pushback from law enforcement,” said Rusty Payne, a spokesman with the Drug Enforcement Administration.

“We (federal agents) haven’t seen this,” Payne said. “Five is a lot.”

Local authorities believe the influence of Mexican drug cartels, more aggressive law enforcement tactics and the increase in large-scale pot operations might be contributing to the increase in violence.

With marijuana growing suspects becoming more aggressive, members of the public are being warned to stay away from marijuana gardens in remote areas.

At a church camp west of Lake Sonoma, staff members have begun warning campers to stay close to the buildings and off the trails that wind through the area.

In Mendocino County, the public was warned to stay away from a popular mountain trail after a group of hunters was confronted by armed men and told to leave the area.

Before the confrontation, the hunters had noticed drip irrigation lines nearby.

Faith Evans arrested on drunken driving charge THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES Grammy-winning singer Faith Evans has been arrested after being stopped at a drunken driving checkpoint in the Los Angeles area.

Officer Cleon Joseph of the LAPD says the 37-year-old Evans was arrested Saturday night near Marina del Rey on suspicion of misdemeanor drunken driving. He says Evans was held for a few hours and released

on bail Sunday morning. Her car was impounded.

The R&B singer is the widow of rapper Christopher Wallace, also known as the Notorious B.I.G. She won a Grammy in 1998 for the song “I’ll Be Missing You.” A reality series chronicling Evans’ life is reportedly in production, and a new album is scheduled for release in October.

A message left with Evans’ agent Sunday was not immediately returned.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Parking Structure No. 2 Seismic Retrofit Starting on Thursday, Aug. 5, the sidewalk in front of Parking Structure No. 2 will be closed to pedestrian traffic. There will still be access to businesses located to the north and south of the parking structure, but pedestrians will be directed to use the sidewalk on the west side of the street to get between Wilshire Boulevard and Arizona Avenue. The parking structure will remain open throughout construction, however the work requires temporary closure of up to 50 parking spaces per day. Also, traffic leaving Parking Structure No. 2 will not be able to exit onto Second Street. Instead, all exiting traffic will be re-routed through the alley behind the structure. Please be sure to obey all posted directional and no parking signs throughout the construction project. Estimated project completion is December, 2010.

Alley Resurfacing Project Striping will take place at one crosswalk on Arizona Avenue and Sixth Street , parking stalls on Ninth Street north of Olympic Boulevard and the stop bar and legend on 15th Street at California Avenue. Traffic may be impacted during this work; but impacts are expected to be minimal. The contractor will utilize all means possible to minimize delays and inconvenience to the public.

at the Stewart Street site, which is a City Hallowned parcel currently under lease to the Lionstone Group. Agensys has to complete a deal to sublease the site by Sept. 28 under a contract with Lionstone, Goldsmith said. And in order to sign-off on the sublease, Agensys needs to know whether its development plans will receive the City Council’s approval, he said, adding the deadline is “rock hard.”

A Planning Commission hearing is set for Sept. 1, followed by a first reading before the City Council on Sept. 14 and a required second reading Sept. 28.

The proposed development agreement involves a lease extension from City Hall that would in give Agensys control of the site for 50 years.

Reached last week, David Martin, deputy director of City Hall’s Planning and Community Development department, declined to comment on negotiations about the bike path.

The department is expected to release a report on the status of development agreement talks with Agensys this week.

Some bike activists, including Barbara Filet, a member of the group Spoke, said they’re disappointed with the Planning Department’s work on the Agensys project.

“The city is quite impressed with Agensys as a company,” she said. “It’s like they’re working for Agensys. That is the feeling we get ... they’re not working for us. They’re bending over backwards to give Agensys what they want.”

Filet and others who have urged the inclusion of the bike lane, like Parks and Recreation Commissioner Phil Brock, point to the recently adopted Land Use and Circulation Element, which lists increased use of public transportation and bicycles as a means to cut down on traffic congestion, as justification for their position.

“This is the first test of our commitment to active transportation, which the LUCE calls for,” Filet said.

Meanwhile, the Parks and Recreation Commission last Thursday unanimously approved a motion calling on the Planning Commission and City Council to prioritize the bike lane in the Agensys development agreement.

So far, decision makers appear to be split.

Councilman Richard Bloom last week said he’s not convinced the bike path is essential. He said there are alternate routes for a bike path in the area, such as along Olympic Boulevard or possibly through the city’s recycling yards, which are adjacent to the Agensys project site.

Bloom also noted Michigan Avenue hasn’t been formally designated as a bicycle route and called the position taken by the bike activists “an attempt to reverse plan.”

Above all, he said Agensys offers significant benefits to Santa Monica that shouldn’t be overlooked.

“I think it would be horrible if the end result is that Agensys decided to pick up and leave,” he said. “This is an important cleantech project for the city and we ought to be working with them in a manner that helps keep them here and doesn’t drive them away.”

Councilman Kevin McKeown, though, has indicated he sees the bike lane through the Agensys project as a significant benefit.

“We're at the beginning of a long-term shift toward bicycles and other active transportation priorities,” he said.

“Part of shaping our future development priorities has to be creating safe bike routes to schools, jobs, and mass transit.”

As officials consider the Agensys development agreement in coming weeks, they’ll also have to consider what may happen to the site if the company decides to abandon the project.

Lionstone already has City Hall approval to move ahead with an entertainment production studio at the site and wouldn’t be required to provide public benefits in-line with what Agensys is proposing if it does so.

“We are very hopeful that the city will realize that this facility, even without a bike path, is a great benefit to the city,” Goldsmith said. nickt@smdp.com

SCHOOL FROM PAGE 3 Performing Arts High School that debuted in 2009.

The pricey schools have come during a sensitive period for the nation’s secondlargest school system: Nearly 3,000 teachers have been laid off over the past two years, the academic year and programs have been slashed. The district also faces a $640 million shortfall and some schools persistently rank among the nation’s lowest performing.

Los Angeles is not alone, however, in building big. Some of the most expensive schools are found in low-performing districts — New York City has a $235 million campus; New Brunswick, N.J., opened a $185 million high school in January.

Nationwide, dozens of schools have surpassed $100 million with amenities including atriums, orchestra-pit auditoriums, food courts, even bamboo nooks. The extravagance has led some to wonder where the line should be drawn and whether more money should be spent on teachers.

"Architects and builders love this stuff, but there’s a little bit of a lack of discipline here,” said Mary Filardo, executive director of 21st Century School Fund in Washington, D.C., which promotes urban school construction.

Some experts say it’s not all flourish and that children learn better in more pleasant surroundings.

Many schools incorporate large windows to let in natural light and install energy-saving equipment, spending more upfront for reduced bills later. Cafeterias are getting fancier, seeking to retain students who venture off campus. Wireless Internet and other high-tech installations have become standard.

Some pricey projects have had political fallout.

After a firestorm over the $197.5 million Newton North High School in Massachusetts, Mayor David Cohen chose not to seek re-election and state Treasurer Timothy Cahill reined in school construction spending.

Now to get state funds for a new school, districts must choose among three designs costing $49 million to $64 million. “We had to bring some sense to this process,” Cahill said.

In Los Angeles, officials say the new schools were planned long before the economic pinch and are funded by $20 billion

in voter-approved bonds that do not affect the educational budget.

Still, even LA Unified Superintendent Ramon Cortines derided some of the extravagance, noting that donations should have been sought to fund the RFK project’s talking benches commemorating the site’s history.

Connie Rice, member of the district’s School Bond Oversight Committee, noted the megaschools are only three of 131 that the district is building to alleviate overcrowding. RFK “is an amazing facility,” she said. “Is it a lot of money? Yes. We didn’t like it, but they got it done.”

Construction costs at LA Unified are the second-highest in the nation — something the district blames on skyrocketing material and land prices, rigorous seismic codes and unionized labor.

James Sohn, the district’s chief facilities executive, said the megaschools were built when global raw material shortages caused costs to skyrocket to an average of $600 per square foot in 2006 and 2007 — triple the price from 2002. Costs have since eased to $350 per square foot.

On top of that, each project had its own cost drivers.

After buildings were demolished at the site of the 2,400-student Roybal school, contaminated soil, a methane gas field and an earthquake fault were discovered. A gas mitigation system cost $17 million.

Over 20 years, the project grew to encompass a dance studio with cushioned maple floors, a modern kitchen with a restaurantquality pizza oven, a 10-acre park and teacher planning rooms between classrooms.

The 1,700-student arts school was designed as a landmark, with a stainless steel, postmodernistic tower encircled by a rollercoaster-like swirl, while the RFK site involved 15 years of litigation with historic preservationists and Donald Trump, who wanted to build the world’s tallest building there. The wrangling cost $9 million.

Methane mitigation cost $33 million and the district paid another $15 million preserving historic features, including a wall of the famed Cocoanut Grove nightclub and turning the Paul Williams-designed coffee shop into a faculty lounge.

Sohn said LA Unified has reached the end of its Taj Mahal building spree. “These are definitely the exceptions,” he said. “We don’t anticipate schools costing hundreds of millions of dollars in the future."

The Disney release features Aniston as a woman whose drunken friend (Jason Bateman) switches her sperm specimen at a party to celebrate her artificial insemination.

WASHINGTON Two Iowa farms that recalled more than a half-billion eggs linked to as many as 1,300 cases of salmonella poisoning share suppliers of chickens and feed as well as ties to an Iowa business routinely cited for violating state and federal law.

Food and Drug Administration investigators have yet to determine the cause of the salmonella outbreaks at Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms. The FDA investigation could take months, and sources of contamination are often difficult to find.

The number of illnesses, which can be life-threatening, especially to those with weakened immune systems, is expected to increase. The most common symptoms are diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever eight to 72 hours of eating a contaminated product.

The company Quality Egg supplies young chickens and feed to both Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms. The two share other suppliers, said Jewanna Porter, a spokeswoman for the egg industry, but she did not name them.

The egg industry has consolidated over recent years, placing fewer, larger businesses in control over much of the nation’s egg supply to consumers.

The salmonella outbreak has raised questions about federal inspections of egg farms.

The FDA oversees inspections of shell eggs, while the Agriculture Department is in charge of inspecting other egg products.

William D. Marler, a Seattle attorney for a person who filed suit alleging illness from tainted eggs in a salad at a restaurant in Kenosha, Wis., said Sunday his firm has been retained by two dozen families and was representing a woman who was hospitalized in California.

“The history of ignoring the law makes the sickening of 1,300 and the forced recall of 550 million eggs shockingly understandable,” Marler said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. “You have to wonder where the USDA and FDA inspectors were.”

Businessman Austin “Jack” DeCoster owns Wright County Egg and Quality Egg. Wright County Egg recalled 380 million eggs Aug. 13 after it was linked to more than 1,000 cases of salmonella poisoning. A week later, Hillandale Farms recalled 170 million eggs.

DeCoster is no stranger to controversy in his food and farm operations: —In 1994, the state of Iowa assessed at least four separate penalties against DeCoster Farms for environmental viola-

tions, many of them involving hog waste.

—In 1997, DeCoster Egg Farms agreed to pay $2 million in fines to settle citations brought in 1996 for health and safety violations at DeCoster’s farm in Turner, Maine.

The nation’s labor secretary at the time, Robert Reich, said conditions were “as dangerous and oppressive as any sweatshop.”

Reich’s successor, Alexis Herman, called the state of the farms “simply atrocious,” citing unguarded machinery, electrical hazards, exposure to harmful bacteria and other unsanitary conditions.

—In 2000, Iowa designated DeCoster a “habitual violator” of environmental regulations for problems that included hog manure runoff into waterways. The label made him subject to increased penalties and prohibited him from building new farms.

—In 2002, the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced a more than $1.5 million settlement of an employment discrimination lawsuit against DeCoster Farms on behalf of Mexican women who reported they were subjected to sexual harassment, including rape, abuse and retaliation by some supervisory workers at DeCoster’s Wright County plants.

—In 2007, 51 workers were arrested during an immigration raid at six DeCoster egg farms. His farms had been the subject of at least three previous raids.

—In June 2010, Maine Contract Farming, the successor company to DeCoster Egg Farms, agreed in state court to pay $25,000 in penalties and to make a onetime payment of $100,000 to the Maine Department of Agriculture over animal cruelty allegations that were spurred by a hidden-camera investigation by an animal welfare organization.

In a statement issued Sunday, Wright County Egg spokeswoman Hinda Mitchell said: “When issues have been raised about our farms, our management team has addressed them swiftly and effectively, working with recognized outside experts to identify and establish corrective measures for our operations. We are approaching our work with FDA in the same forthright manner.”

Wright County Egg also faces a lawsuit from food distributor Dutch Farms alleging that the company used unauthorized cartons to package and sell eggs under its brand without its knowledge.

The CDC said last week that investigations by 10 states since April have identified 26 cases where more than one person became ill. Preliminary information showed that Wright was the supplier in at least 15 of those cases.

Rallies over mosque near ground zero get heated VERENA DOBNIK Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK The proposed mosque near ground zero drew hundreds of fever-pitch demonstrators Sunday, with opponents carrying signs associating Islam with blood, supporters shouting, “Say no to racist fear!” and American flags waving on both sides.

The two leaders of the construction project, meanwhile, defended their plans, though one suggested that organizers might eventually be willing to discuss an alternative site.

The other, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, said during a Middle East trip that the attention generated by the project is actually positive and that he hopes it will bring greater understanding.

Around the corner from the cordonedoff old building that is to become a 13-story Islamic community center and mosque, police separated the two groups of demonstrators. There were no reports of physical clashes but there were some nose-to-nose confrontations, including a man and a woman screaming at each other across a barricade under a steady rain.

Opponents of the $100 million project two blocks from the World Trade Center site appeared to outnumber supporters. Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” blared over loudspeakers as mosque opponents chanted, “No mosque, no way!”

Signs hoisted by dozens of protesters standing behind police barricades read “SHARIA” — using dripping, blood-red letters to describe Islam’s Shariah law, which governs the behavior of Muslims.

Steve Ayling, a 40-year-old Brooklyn plumber who carried his sign to a dry spot by an office building, said the people behind the mosque project are “the same people who took down the twin towers.”

Opponents demand that the mosque be moved farther from the site where more than 2,700 people were killed on Sept. 11, 2001. “They should put it in the Middle East,” Ayling said.

On a nearby sidewalk, police chased away a group that unfurled a banner with images of beating, stoning and other torture they said was committed by those who followed Islamic law.

A mannequin wearing a keffiyeh, a traditional Arab headdress, was mounted on one of two mock missiles that were part of an anti-mosque installation. One missile was inscribed with the words: “Again? Freedom Targeted by Religion"; the other with “Obama: With a middle name Hussein. We understand. Bloomberg: What is your excuse?”

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has fiercely defended plans for the proposed mosque, saying that the right “to practice your religion was one of the real reasons America was founded.”

The mosque project is being led by Rauf and his wife, Daisy Khan, who insist the center will promote moderate Islam. The dispute has sparked a national debate on religious freedom and American values and is becoming an issue on the campaign trail ahead of the midterm elections. Republicans have been critical of President Barack Obama’s stance: He has said the Muslims have the right to build the center at the site but has not commented on whether he thinks they should.

Rauf is in the middle of a Mideast trip

funded by the U.S. State Department that is intended to promote religious tolerance. He told a gathering Sunday at the U.S. ambassador’s residence in the Persian Gulf state of Bahrain that he took heart from the dispute over the mosque, saying “the fact we are getting this kind of attention is a sign of success.”

“It is my hope that people will understand more,” Rauf said without elaborating.

Democratic New York Gov. David Paterson has suggested that state land farther from ground zero be used for the center.

Khan, executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement, expressed some openness to that idea on ABC’s “This Week with Christiane Amanpour,” but said she would have to meet with the center’s other “stakeholders” first.

“We want to build bridges,” Khan said.

“We don’t want to create conflict, this is not where we were coming from. So, this is an opportunity for us to really turn this around and make this into something very, very positive. So we will meet, and we will do what is right for everyone.”

But Khan also said the angry reaction to the project “is like a metastasized antiSemitism.”

"It’s not even Islamophobia. It’s beyond Islamophobia,” she said. “It’s hate of Muslims.”

At the pro-mosque rally, staged a block away from opponents’ demonstration, several hundred people chanted, “Muslims are welcome here! We say no to racist fear!”

Dr. Ali Akram, a 39-year-old Brooklyn physician, came with his three sons and an 11-year-old nephew waving an American flag. He noted that scores of Muslims were among those who died in the towers, and he called those who oppose the mosque “unAmerican.”

“They teach their children about the freedom of religion in America — but they don’t practice what they preach,” Akram said.

John Green, who lost a friend in the attacks, said that although organizers have the right to build the project, “I think if they moved it, they would get the respect of more Americans than if they play hardball.” He was demonstrating in the group of mosque opponents.

Gila Barzvi, whose son, Guy, was killed in the towers, stood with mosque opponents, clutching a large photo of her son with both hands.

“This is sacred ground and it’s where my son was buried,” the native Israeli from Queens said. She said the mosque would be “like a knife in our hearts.”

She was joined by a close friend, Kobi Mor, who flew from San Francisco to participate in the rally.

If the mosque gets built, “we will bombard it,” Mor said. He would not elaborate but added that he believes the project “will never happen.”

Rauf, in an interview with Bahrain’s Al Wasat newspaper, said America’s sweeping constitutional rights are more in line with Islamic principles than the limits imposed by some Muslim nations.

“American Muslims have the right to practice their religion in accordance with the Constitution of the United States,” Rauf said.

“I see the article of independence as more compliant with the principles of Islam than what is available in many of the current Muslim countries."

SANTA MONICA

School officials, parents and players remained puzzled Sunday over what caused 19 members of a high school football team in northwest Oregon to suffer muscle damage — three of whom required surgery — following a fall camp.

The 19 McMinnville High School players all had elevated levels of the enzyme creatine kinase, or CK, which is released by muscles when they’re injured, said Dr. Craig Winkler of Willamette Valley Medical Center. High CK levels can lead to kidney failure if not properly treated.

Winkler called the epidemic “weird,” saying: “To have this number of athletes in one single community in one environment is very unusual.”

Three of the players also were diagnosed with a rare soft-tissue condition called “compartment syndrome,” which caused soreness and swelling in their triceps. They underwent surgery to relieve the pressure, Winkler said.

Five of the athletes were treated in the emergency room and sent home. The other 11 were admitted to the hospital and given intravenous fluids to maintain adequate hydration and prevent kidney failure, he said.

Ten boys remained hospitalized Sunday, but they were in good condition and were expected to be released Monday, said Rosemari Davis, Willamette Valley Medical Center’s chief executive officer.

Officials said the epidemic’s cause is still a mystery, but high CK levels can result from vigorous exercise or the use of certain medications or food supplements.

Before their symptoms started this past week, the players were at an immersion camp organized by first-year coach Jeff Kearin. Winkler said the players worked out last Sunday at the high school’s wrestling room, where temperatures reached 115 degrees.

He said the high temperature and dehydration may have played a role. He also said officials will look at water sources and what the kids had to drink,

including power mixes.

Winkler said blood test results expected Tuesday could show whether the athletes ingested creatine, which is found in legal high-powered protein supplements. He added officials are not testing for steroids because it would be unlikely for that many students to have access, and “creatine makes way more sense.”

Two players said Sunday they weren’t sure what caused their injuries but supplements were not a factor.

Fullback and linebacker Jacob Montgomery, one of the 10 still hospitalized, said he first experienced a tightness in his triceps and forearms Tuesday.

"They swelled to the verge of popping,” the 17-year-old senior said in a telephone interview. “I thought it was just swelling from an intense workout.”

Montgomery said he went to get checked out Wednesday after learning another player was taken to the hospital.

He and fellow senior Josh Nice said neither they nor any of the other players have taken any supplements or performance enhancers.

“They don’t know what’s behind this whole thing,” said Nice, a wide receiver hospitalized since Friday. He added he hopes to return to practice as soon as possible.

Winkler said the hospital and school began screening players for CK after the first few were brought to the hospital early last week.

The normal range for CK is 35 to 232 units per liter, but some students showed levels as high as 42,000, putting them at risk of kidney injury, Winkler said. Those with levels in the 3,000 range were treated in the hospital’s emergency room and released, while those with levels above 10,000 were admitted.

Superintendent Maryalice Russell told The Oregonian newspaper she doesn’t believe Kearin’s workout was excessive. She also said she has no evidence steroids or supplements were involved.

“I don’t have any information at this time that would indicate that’s the case,” she said.

“I’m continuing to look at additional information as it may come my way.”

MOTOR SPORTS

Off-road racing resumes a week after deadly crash THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LUCERNE VALLEY An off-road motorcycle event in the Southern California desert went off without a hitch Sunday, a week after a modified pickup truck plowed into race fans in the same area, killing eight people.

Last week’s tragedy was on the minds of organizers and riders alike at the Desert Scramble in the Mojave Desert’s Johnson Valley, said Jerry Grabow, president of the American Motorcycle Association’s District 37.

“The off-road community has never had a tragedy like that in its history,” Grabow said. “But our goal is always to put on the safest race possible and that’s what we did today.”

Grabow said no new procedures were in place Sunday in light of the deadly crash last week.

Representatives from the Bureau of Land

Management were on hand and came away satisfied with the event’s safety procedures.

“It was a very well run event,” said Steve Razo, a director of External Affairs for the BLM. “It adhered to all the requirements of the permit.”

The Desert Scramble, sponsored by the Invaders Motorcycle Club and sanctioned by the AMA, featured up to 300 riders on a 35 mile loop.

Eight people were killed and 10 injured Aug. 15 at a race on federal land near Sunday’s event. The crash, in which a truck sailed over a jump and hurtled into a crowd, initially spurred a review of racing permits in the California desert district of the BLM. BLM Director Bob Abbey announced Friday that the agency will now look at its permits throughout the country.

“We’re all expecting the stipulations to change,” Grabow said.“We can only learn from the incident and we welcome the changes."

GETTING STARTED

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S PUZZLE

There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing.

Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

TM

• Fill the grid with the set of given numbers (1 to 12) to satisfy the Equa demands (7 to 24) in the shaded boxes. The Equa demands represent the sum of the digits that you will insert into the empty squares.

• Each horizontal row has one Equa demand to satisfy; each vertical column also has one demand to satisfy. Each empty square in the grid dictates the math operation (addition +, subtraction -, multiplication X, and division ÷) that must be performed to meet the demands.

• You must follow the given math operations for each square and you must make sure all the numbers satisfy the demands in the shaded boxes when connected in adjacent threes and calculated together from left to right, and top to bottom.

• The numbers you insert into the grid must satisfy the Equa demands both horizontally and vertically.

■ A recent surge of neo-Nazism in several countries -- including, improbably, Israel, and Mongolia (where some dark-skinned natives are rabidly anti-Chinese) -- has generally been denounced, but Corinna Burt credited it with rescuing her from a life of acting in pornographic videos.

According to a hate-group watchdog, the Portland, Ore., woman is "the most prominent National Socialist Movement organizer in the Pacific Northwest." In an August interview with Gawker.com, the white-supremacist Burt (a mother of two and a professional embalmer who is also into bodybuilding) said she terminated her porn career (as "Cori Lou," doing mostly bondage and "torture" films) because, "If we (Caucasians) consider ourselves a master race then we have to act like a master race, not degenerates."

■ Though volunteers got the project started in May, Ventnor City, N.J., continued through the summer to seek financial donations to finish the new restrooms that provide relief for those visiting the town's Atlantic shore.

Said Commissioner Stephen Weintrob, "How would someone like to have a toilet named after themselves, or a urinal or sink?"

I, Mark J.

The declaration of default was due to non-payment of the total amount due for the taxes, assessments and other charges levied in 2007-08 tax year that were a lien on the listed real property. Property upon which a nuisance abatement lien has been recorded shall be subject to sale if the taxes remain unpaid after three years. The name of the assessee and the total tax, which was due on June 30, 2008 for the 2007-08 tax year, is shown opposite the parcel number. Tax defaulted real property may be redeemed by payment of all unpaid taxes and assessments, together with the additional penalties and fees, as prescribed by law, or it may be paid under an installment plan of redemp-tion. If the 2007-08 taxes remain unpaid on non-residential property after June 30, 2011, the property will be subject to sale at public auction in 2011. All other residential property that remains unpaid after June 30, 2013, will be subject to sale at public auction in 2014.
