SMMUSD aims to improve parent engagement Survey seeks input from district families

This past May, after a springtime festival at Will Rogers Elementary School downplayed its Cinco de Mayo roots, parents were

GIRLS BASKETBALL:

Burke returns to St. Monica as head coach 1979 alumnus served as assistant on team’s recent title run

BY JEFFREY I. GOODMAN Daily Press Staff Writer

For Don Burke, it’s much more than just another coaching gig.

The Los Angeles native graduated from St. Monica Catholic High School in 1979, helping the boys basketball team win a CIF Southern Section title that year.

Decades later he returned to serve as an assistant coach for the Santa Monica private school’s girls basketball team, guiding the Mariners to their first-ever section championship in 2013.

Now, after a much shorter stint away from his alma mater, Burke is back to lead the girls program as its head coach.

“It’s like coming home,” he said in a phone interview Tuesday. “The school has a special place in my heart.”

They flocked to an ensuing Santa Monica-Malibu school board meeting in droves to express their frustration at being ignored, or worse, even disrespected.

“We need to make sure people

are included,” the school’s PTA president, Katherine Caulfield Newall, said at the time. “This is an opportunity for us to take a look at a problem that is being felt by our fellow parents.”

Officials are attempting to fol-

Senator Dianne Feinstein discusses drought, Iran Nuclear Deal at town hall in Santa Monica

BY JENNIFER MAAS Daily Press Staff Writer

Santa Monica hosted one of the California’s most powerful politicians this week when senator Dianne Feinstein swung through town for a “fireside chat.”

The event, hosted by Town Hall Los Angeles and the Los Angeles World Affairs Council on Sept. 2 at Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel included discussions on a broad range of topics including child trafficking in Los Angeles, the current drought, global warming, her political history, the Iran Nuclear Deal and national security.

Feinstein began her chat with president and CEO of the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, Terry McCarhty, by discussing child trafficking.

“One of the big issues that’s confronting us is child trafficking,” Feinstein said. “And so this morning I had received your sheriff. Sheriff McDonald said what the situation was in Los Angeles with respect to child trafficking. So this morning we had a meeting with the sheriff, with the chief of police, with the [district attorney] of LA, and Oakland, and San Diego and the FBI and a large number of other people who are integrally involved in child trafficking.

FIRESIDE CHAT: Dianne Feinstein spoke about a variety of issues at a town hall meeting.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is one huge problem. The average child is 12 to 14 years old. Children are sold on the Internet. I have just done an amendment to a bill, which is now a law, which seeks to prevent that from happening.

I’ve been writing letters to the six big hotel chains saying ‘Please participate in a code of conduct.’ I think we’re beginning to mobilize a real law enforcement effort SEE TALK PAGE 8

COMMUNITY BRIEFS SMC

NASA selects Santa Monica College for grant to expand STEM education Santa Monica College (SMC) has announced its selection by NASA’s Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) as one of four community colleges nationwide to receive a MUREP Community College Curriculum Improvement (MC3I) grant. The grant will provide SMC up to $250,000 per year for a maximum of three years to provide training for professors teaching Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) courses and expand STEM course offerings at the college.

“We are a perfect fit for this grant,” said Jeffery Shimizu, SMC Interim President.

“Santa Monica College is dedicated to advancing achievement for our underrepresented minority students — and this includes bringing more of them into STEMrelated majors. We are excited to see how this will not only enhance our students’ preparation for careers NASA will benefit from, but also close the achievement gap.”

A historically minority-serving institution, SMC has a successful and growing STEM program in a partnership with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), funded by a five-year $5.8 million grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Education in 2011. The program — known as the Science and Research Initiative (SRI) — provides specialized courses, free tutoring and academic support, and research

September 6 Printmaking Lab Through December 2016, 1450 Ocean is featuring our 30”x48” Dickerson Combination motorized printing press, available on weekends in a lab-type setting.

Printmakers with some experience are invited to sign up for printing time; bring your blocks or everything you need to work on them here; monotype, linocut, and other similar techniques will be accommodated.

Cost: $15 each lab session, must have attended a printmaking class here or have

opportunities at UCLA in collaboration with its Center for Community College Partnerships and the Undergraduate Research Center.

This year, 176 students — 50 percent identifying as Latino or Hispanic, 9 percent African-American, 48 percent female, and 52 percent low-income — enrolled in SMC’s STEM-SRI. 18 SMC students were selected by UCLA to work as paid research interns for 10 weeks, and 50 of them attended a week-long research residency, also at UCLA. Approximately 82 percent of STEM students admitted in the 2013 and 2014 academic years have succeeded in STEM Courses at SMC. “Santa Monica College presented a meritorious proposal,” said Joeletta Patrick, MUREP Manager at NASA. “NASA MUREP recognizes the particular importance of minority-serving community colleges for the participation of students traditionally underserved and underrepresented in higher education… they constitute the largest and most dynamic segment of post-secondary education in the U.S.” SMC will use its NASA MUREP MC3I grant to provide opportunities for students and faculty to get hands-on experience in the development and operation of an instrument that will collect data in space, said SMC Geology professor Dr. Cara Thompson, who will serve as principal investigator for the grant.

“We hope to contextualize student learning of important STEM skills as well as expand our course offerings and other activities to provide SMC students with

previous experience with a printing press.

tools required to pursue a NASA-related career,” said Dr. Thompson. “We will achieve this through partnerships with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, UCLA, and the University of Southern California, among others.”

The awards were made through the 2014 Education Opportunities in NASA Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (EONS STEM) research program, which aims to expand the nation’s base for aerospace research and development, increase participation by minority serving institutions, and increase the number of degrees in NASA-related fields awarded to students from these institutions.

The other three community colleges that also received a MUREP MC31 grant were Baltimore City Community College, Napa Valley College, and Queensborough Community College.

Citywide

DUI-Driver’s License Checkpoint The Santa Monica Police Department’s Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint on Friday, September 4, 2015, at an undisclosed location within city limits. The operation will take place between the hours of 7 p.m. and 3 a.m.

The deterrent effect of DUI checkpoints

is a proven factor in reducing the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol and/or drug related collisions. Research shows that accidents involving impaired drivers can be reduced by up to 20 percent when well-publicized, enforcement checkpoints and proactive DUI patrols are conducted routinely.

Traffic Officers will be looking for objective signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment and verify that motorists are in possession of a valid driver’s license.

In California, drunk driving led to the tragic deaths of 802 persons in 2012.

Nationally, the latest data shows nearly 10,000 people were killed by impaired drivers. Recent statistics reveal that 30 percent of drivers in fatal collisions had traces of one or more drugs in their systems. The study showed that more drivers tested positive for drug impairment (14 percent) than did for alcohol (7.3 percent).

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have provided the most effective, documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent. Nearly 90 percent of California Drivers approve of DUI checkpoints.

Funding for this checkpoint is provided to the Santa Monica Police Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which along with the Santa Monica Police Department would like to remind everyone to call 9-1-1 to report drunk drivers.

Bus Stops Editor:

You want people to ride the blue bus, but then you move a convenient bus stop to an inconvenient location. What was wrong with (#2 bus) the stop on 16th and Wilshire, right at the hospital for staff and patients to get on and off, now you have to walk a block to get to work, dumb.

And … what is with the shake down of visitors at the pier entrance, five minute of jumping around, 55 minutes of shaking down the crowd, not for $1 but $20+ and humiliate the visitor with derogatory statements, shut this down.

Bill is a Lost Cosby

ross@smdp.com

PUBLISHER Rob Schwenker schwenker@smdp.com

EDITOR IN CHIEF

PERHAPS BECAUSE WE AMERICANS

revere “success” with such adoration, we are equally fascinated with spectacular falls from grace. Despite a net worth of $400,000,000, comedian Bill Cosby’s fall has been historic. He’s gone from “America’s dad” to “America’s perv.”

On its own, Cosby’s resume is stunning.

He was the first black star in a TV series (“I Spy”); the first black Emmy Award winner; produced and starred in “The Cosby Show, #1 in the ratings for five consecutive years!

He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a PhD and a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

But his resume also includes a walk of shame. Fifty-two women, with no apparent financial incentive, have charged that he drugged and raped them. Ouch! As Whoopi Goldberg, once a Cosby defender, admitted recently, “The evidence looks real bad.” As for drugging, Bill Maher observed, “Cosby has put more women to sleep than warm milk.”

One of Cosby’s growing legion of accusers, former American Airlines stewardess and Eileen Ford model, Colleen Hughes, has lived in my apartment building for 39 years.

I’ve often written about Oscar, her 14-yearold Golden Retriever seizure alert dog. (“Rebel with Four Paws,” “Oscar’s Big Day in Court” and “The Cary Grant of Dogs.”)

Because Oscar was the first service animal at the Shores I labeled him the canine Rosa Parks.

In 1973, Colleen was working a trans continental flight bound for Los Angeles.

One of her passengers was Cosby who flirtatiously insisted she join him for lunch in Beverly Hills. She agreed on condition that a fellow stewardess join them.

Embarrassed the other flight attendant backed out, Colleen continued with the luncheon date. But first they stopped at her hotel here in Santa Monica. She asked Cosby to wait in the lobby but he convinced her he would be deluged by autograph-seekers.

Reluctantly, Colleen allowed Cosby to wait in her room while she took her suitcase into the bathroom. She locked the door, showered and changed clothes. “In those days people smoked on planes and I smelled like an ashtray.”

Minutes later, she came out she to see that

Cosby had ordered hors d’oeuvres and champagne. Having already poured her a glass, he proposed a toast, “To lunch with the most beautiful woman in the world.” Yuck!

That was noon. When Colleen awoke it was 5:15 p.m., she was nude on the bed and Cosby was nowhere in sight. Sparing you the details, it was clear Colleen had been raped.

“Why not call the police? I asked. She answered, “Given his celebrity, who would have believed me?”

A year later Colleen was working another flight and Cosby flirted with her again, though apparently not recognizing her. “You drugged me once,” Colleen said angrily, “I’m not going to let you do it again.” Cosby’s only response was to ask if she had reported it to anyone.

In July, New York Magazine’s cover featured thirty-five women who claimed Cosby had sexually assaulted them. They were seated beside an empty chair, symbolically inviting other victims to come forward. Colleen did and is now represented by the famed attorney Gloria Allred.

On October 9, Cosby will be deposed by Allred representing a client who was a minor at the time of the alleged assault. The LAPD confirms that it’s examining the case for possible criminal action.

Last year, CAA dropped Cosby as a client.

TV stations nationwide have ceased airing all Cosby reruns. In July, Walt Disney World removed a statue of Cosby. Last December, he resigned from the Board of Trustees of his beloved Alma mater, Temple University.

But Camille Cosby, his wife of 51 years, sticks steadfastly by her husband. And his website reads, “Far from Finished.”

I suppose a Cosby comeback is possible.

After all, Nixon rehabilitated his image.

(Though not with me!) Remarkably, years after Watergate, sitting presidents actually consulted with Nixon on foreign policy.

That said, I don’t envision Jello consulting with Cosby about selling Pudding Pops.

Colleen Hughes’ appearance on Dr. Phil airs Thursday, September 10 at 3 p.m. on CBS. Her appearance on 48 Hours, is tentatively scheduled for Friday, September 18, at 9 p.m on NBC. JACK is at facebook.com/jackneworth, twitter.com/jackneworth and jnsmdp@aol.com.

This film is one of the most intimate, most effective thrillers ever. The first few minutes set the tone — subtle changes in the rhythm of what is seen, drawing you into a very up close and personal vantage point.

This style, like a symphonic poem, is consistent throughout the film. The way the action and the camera move, you can feel visceral changes in breathing and heartbeat through the camera.

There is no time wasted on narrative explanation. The immense confusion and panic that engulfs the family in the story is conveyed through the visuals as the tide of the film rushes along, seemingly unstoppable. After a bomb explodes amidst a group of people, the filmmakers bring us right into the aftermath — instead of screams and sounds of anguish, everything goes silent and muffled.

The family trapped in an explosive situation in a strange land seem as though they have been together for years. Owen Wilson’s innate skill allows this intimacy and is one of those rare gifts. Without years of formal training, Wilson has the ability to transcend pretense and become the soul of his character. He has the emotional strength to open up his psyche and display raw feelings without flinching. Being a writer at heart, rather than an actor, Wilson transitions fluidly from the real to the imaginary. Lake Bell is perfectly cast as a down-to-earth Mom who at first withdraws from danger, and later transforms into a fearless hero (note that she also is a writer and director). Pierce Brosnan, one of our most memorable “James Bonds,” has become a superb character actor. He brings years of training in addition to extraordinary life experience, to his seemingly effortless, larger-than-life performance. The actresses portraying the daughters, Sterling Jerins and Claire Geare, are engaging and natural. Sahajak Boonthanakit as a Thai taxi driver nicknamed “Kenny Rogers,” lends a touch of humor.

The director, John Erick Dowdle, wrote the script with his brother Drew Dowdle.

The skills of the Brothers Dowdle cover all facets of filmmaking — writer/editor/director/cinematographer/producer. To create this film shot on location in Thailand, they drew together a top-notch team. Marco Beltrami and Buck Sanders composed a score that moves the emotion along in the story, simply: piano notes, drumbeats that mirror primitive responses to danger.

Cinematographer Leo Hinstin establishes anticipation with excellent lighting for each scene — realistic and yet suggestive. Editor Elliot Greenberg does a fantastic job reflecting the heartbeats of the characters in the movement of the scenes.

guys. The story is presented as a tragedy brought about by the greed of a handful of powerful unseen people who cause the deaths of many innocent civilians. It is about character transformations born of intense fear, yet the sense of hope is never overpowered by the violence. This story is actually playing out in many third world countries. It is eerily reminiscent of the true account portrayed in the documentary “Virunga” set in central Africa and nominated for a 2014 Oscar.

BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 1

Burke returns to St. Monica after a brief tenure at Los Angeles-Bishop Conaty, which last year made the section playoffs after going undefeated in the Horizon League.

He fills the void left by Kelly Evans, whose teams went 36-21 in two years, including 88 in conference play during that span. The Mariners reached the Division 4A quarterfinals in 2013-14 and returned to the quarterfinals in Division 4AA last season.

But the players who were freshmen on the title-winning team three season ago are now seniors, and Burke said they’re hungry to bookend their prep careers with another championship.

“I’ve got a great group of kids,” he said.

“The last two years wasn’t a very pleasant experience for them. The chemistry didn’t really mesh, and they lost a lot of their passion for the game. I think their passion’s back. They know what I expect out of them, and they know how hard I’ll push them, but there’s that mutual respect. That’s the key to coaching: They play harder for your if they respect you.”

The upcoming 2015-16 season will serve as the latest chapter in Burke’s career in sports.

Burke attended Daniel Murphy High School for two years before transferring to St. Monica, where he was a member of the boys basketball team alongside future NBA player Leon Wood.

Coached by Chris Corliss, the Mariners defeated Santa Maria-St. Joseph 70-65 in the

Division 1A finals in 1979 after losing in the title game a year earlier.

Coaching entered the picture for Burke after he became an insurance agent, got married and had two sons. When his son was ready for youth basketball, his wife encouraged him to volunteer as the team’s coach.

“I said, ‘If I’m going to do it, I’m not doing it half-assed,” he said. “I’m going fullbore.”

Burke ended up becoming the youth sports director for the North Valley Family YMCA, building a program that had 75 kids when he started into one that attracted a couple thousand by the time he left. He also coached AAU basketball in the San Fernando Valley for about 10 years.

Burke was an assistant for the Bishop Alemany boys basketball team in the early 1990s, but he stepped away from coaching when his wife became ill.

Years later, when he got the itch to coach again, he contacted John Skinner at St. Monica and joined the staff of the high school girls program. The Mariners captured a section title in 2013.

“That was nice,” Burke said. “Now it’s time to do it on my own.

“My intent is to bring back the enthusiasm to where it was, to try to get the community involved and engaged. In ‘79, we had fire marshals turning people away at the gym. That’s how packed they were. So I’m trying to bring that enthusiasm back. It’s about building something that’s going to last.”

against it and also an effort to take children 12-years-old who are sold, who are moved, who are trafficked for sex, who are used in the most bizarre and terrible ways and find other ways for them to go.”

Feinstein was then asked about her thoughts on the Iran Nuclear Deal.

“There is no better deal,” Feinstein said.

“It is this or it is nothing and the nothing will lead to a possible break out of Iran in two to three months and then the response is military. Iran, you can’t really fool around with, it’s not like Syria. So there would have to be a military attack. I don’t know who would conduct it. Whether it would be Israel, whether it would be the United States, whether it be somebody else … The conclusion is that this can prevent Iran from moving toward a bomb for 15 years.”

Feinstein was the first woman president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors back in 1969, and the first woman mayor of San Francisco in 1978. The senator touched briefly on her early days in office in San Francisco, specifically discussing the November 1978, assassination of San Francisco supervisor Harvey Milk and then mayor George Moscone by Dan White, another city supervisor who had recently resigned and wanted his job back. Feinstein was in San Francisco City Hall on the day of the shooting.

“This was a long time ago, but it feels like yesterday. I heard the dorm slam. I heard the shots. I smelled the cordite, went out of my office. Dan rushed right by me and I walked into Harvey’s office and found his body and put my finger to get his pulse and there was a bullet hole.

It was a terrible dark day in San Francisco. This was the first openly gay public official in America killed by a colleague. If you think about the ramifications of it they were enormous. And so the city fell apart.

And the hate, it was terrible. So my job, the board elected me, and I finished the last year of George’s term.”

Feinstein was questioned about her thoughts on national security and Edward Snowden, who she has publicly called a traitor.

“I don’t respect somebody that takes a job to scrape the system. And that was the purpose. And so it is a form of espionage … I

don’t respect him. To me that’s a criminal act,” Feinstein said.

Feinstein also covered the topics of climate change and the ongoing drought that is affecting California.

“I think there is no question the climate is changing, there is no question of whether it is changing. It is much more volatile. We’ve had funnel clouds in the Pacific, where in my lifetime I don’t remember any. We’ve had hurricanes and tornados that have done tremendous damage. And there it is.

And we see our nature source of water, which is the Sierra Nevada snowpack disappearing. People down here are very lucky because you are served by the Metropolitan Water District, which is very good. They have reservoirs, they store water, and much of the rest of the state doesn’t have those reservoirs to be able to store water.

So we have been trying and worked for a year now on a drought bill that might pass and I think Senator Boxer and I now have one that has a good chance. It has both some short-term movement of water, transfer of water to get into communities that don’t have water, that kind of thing, while the drought goes on.

And it has some long term, like desalination. There is some, I think it’s around two dozen desalination plants that we’ve authorized; there’s 105 recycling programs that we would reauthorize. We’d authorize some storage. And so it’s a little over a billion dollars.

But the water infrastructure for our state ladies and gentlemen was built by Pat Brown in the 60s. We were 16 million people, were now 38 million people and moving up and it’s the same water infrastructure. So we have to make a change if the state’s gonna grow, if business is gonna grow, if we’re gonna maintain our farming and our cities. And that means desalination, it means recycling, it means ground water recharge.”

When McCarhty asked Feinstein if she would run again in 2018 when her current term is was up her response was, “We’ll see,” to a room full of laughter and applause.

Feinstein’s fireside chat marks the third recent appearance of a female U.S. politician in Santa Monica, following the separate appearances of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senator Barbara Boxer in July. jennifer@smdp.com

SURVEY FROM PAGE 1

the district’s Classroom Teachers Association.

The survey, which is available through Sept. 11, seeks input from parents on interactions they’ve had at their children’s schools and aims to measure how welcome they feel on SMMUSD campuses.

Data collected from the survey will impact future district efforts to reach out to parents, according to a press release, and involve them in issues affecting the education of their children.

“The success of our district depends on creating strong partnerships with families and community members,” Supt. Sandra Lyon said in the release. “With their support and involvement, we can continue to create an environment aimed at extraordinary achievement for all students.”

SMMUSD is conducting the survey with the help of K12 Insight, a firm that specializes in community engagement studies for school districts. The Virginia-based company is being paid $46,000, according to the consent calendar in the school board’s Sept.

2 meeting agenda.

The survey is being presented to parents as the district begins working with renowned sociologist and educator Pedro Noguera to close the longstanding achievement gap.

Noguera has said that parent engagement is crucial to reducing the gulfs in academic performance that exist between low-income and minority students and their peers.

“The most important form of parental involvement occurs at home,” he told

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2015

SMMUSD faculty and staff during a convocation last month at Santa Monica High School. “Just because a parent can’t make a 4 o’clock meeting does not mean they don’t care about their children.”

The survey asks parents if they’ve attended events like back-to-school nights, open houses, parent conferences, support groups, performances and sports games. It also asks respondents to identify how often they access or read a variety of school communication materials.

The survey then asks parents whether or not they find certain statements about their children’s campuses to be accurate, such as “I feel welcome at the school” and “Cultural diversity is appreciated at the school.”

The survey also touches on programming, participation levels, parent-staff relationships and obstacles to parent involvement as well as parents’ technology access and language preferences.

A field for open-ended input is limited to 500 characters, but there may be opportunities for further conversations in the future.

“After carefully reviewing and analyzing feedback from parents, there may be a need to explore a specific topic more closely,” the survey reads. “In some cases, we may send a short follow-up survey to better understand parental opinions. In other cases, we may hold virtual or on-site focus group discussions.”

The survey can be found at www.smmusd.org/surveys and is Parents who have given the district their email addresses will receive invitations to participate. Paper copies are available at school sites upon request. jeff@smdp.com

REVIEW:

‘Transporter’ a cinematic bumpy ride FRANK SCHECK The Hollywood Reporter

LOS ANGELES If nothing else, this reboot of the Transporter franchise should do wonders for Audi sales, not to mention car safety. Every passenger who sets foot in the tricked-out, gleaming German automobile driven by the titular character is immediately ordered to fasten their seat belt. It’s sound advice, because “The Transporter Refueled” is a cinematic bumpy ride.

Arriving seven years after the final installment of the trilogy originally starring Jason Statham, this latest version, inexplicably set in 2010, features a younger, slighter Frank Martin as played by Ed Skrein (“Game of Thrones”). It’s a real diminishment, and not just in physical terms. Skrein moves well and has the requisite model-ready good looks, beautifully cared-for stubble and gruff, rumbling voice that make him machismo personified. But compared to his predecessor, he’s seriously lacking in charisma, and his relentlessly monotonous performance fails to rev up the film’s engine.

Fortunately, Ray Stevenson is on hand to provide some necessary energy to the proceedings. The actor is clearly having a good time playing Frank’s dad he persistently addresses his son as “Junior” - a rakish Evian sales rep who’s not so secretly a government agent. Unfortunately, the character’s spy skills seriously leave something to be desired, as the plot hinges on his getting kidnapped not once but twice in the course of 24 hours.

Speaking of plot, what little there is has something to do with Frank being hired by gorgeous femme fatale Anna (Loan Chabanol) and her trio of similarly beautiful, blonde-wigged accomplices.

When they reveal that they are holding his father prisoner and have given him poison that will kill

him within 12 hours, Frank is coerced into helping them get revenge on the Russian human trafficker who forced them into prostitution 15 years earlier.

But that’s all a mere excuse for a relentless series of action set pieces in which Frank demonstrates that he’s as skilled in mixed martial arts as he is at high-speed driving through the narrow streets of the French Riviera without running over any innocent bystanders. A man with a strict moral code, he doesn’t carry a gun, forcing him to use a wide variety of objects-at-hand to dispatch a seemingly endless series of opponents, somehow managing to never muss up his perfectly tailored suit in the process.

Director Camille Delamarre (“Brick Mansions”) and his collaborators have devised a few nifty sequences, including a Jackie Chan-style fight scene in which Frank uses an array of file cabinet drawers to dispatch his opponents, and a car’s flying leap into an airport terminal through which it proceeds to wreak vehicular havoc. But unlike the similarly high-octane stunts in “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation,” most of the ones rendered here are so cartoonish and divorced from reality that they induce more laughs than gasps.

Speaking of laughs, there are more than a few in such scenes as when one of the women gets shot in the stomach, prompting emergency surgery using spider webs as a coagulant. But not to worry, she’s feeling fine the next morning. It’s yet one more example of how The Transporter Refueled is running on cheap gas.

“The Transporter Refueled,” a Europa Corp. release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sequences of violence and action, sexual material, some language, a drug reference and thematic elements.” Running time: 96 minutes.

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 AUGUST 29 AT APPROXIMATELY 12:30 P.M. The suspect entered the Rite Aid pharmacy at 1331 Wilshire Blvd and quickly placed a bracelet in his pocket. The suspect then walked around the store and continued putting other items into his pockets; such as memory cards, a portable speaker, and some lighters. Loss prevention agents were watching the suspect as he concealed the items and saw him walk toward the store’s front door without paying for them at the register. An alarm sounded as the suspect walked past the sensors at the front door, so a loss prevention agent detained the suspect outside and called for police. The suspect surrendered the items and was eventually taken into custody, then booked at the Santa Monica jail. A check of the suspect’s criminal history showed he was on probation for similar thefts. Jake Adam Wagenhals, 33, transient, had bail set at $10,000.

Sudoku Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column, and 3x3 block. Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle. The difficulty level ranges from (easiest) to (hardest).

GETTING STARTED 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.

■ The Michigan legislature and the state Court of Appeals (as News of the Weird reported in December) have, for some reason, given its concealed-carry gun licensees the additional right of openly carrying weapons on school grounds, and in August, a judge in Genesee County upheld that interpretation. Asked a lawyer preparing to appeal the decision, “If I’m a principal” and see someone “walking up to my building with a gun, what am I supposed to do?” He should, he said, “declare a lockdown ... call the police.”

However, the open-carry parent who had been denied access to the school said the court ruling in his favor was just “common sense.”

SHEPARD

rons may have such specific functions that a few electrically charge only upon recognition of a single celebrity, such as Oprah Winfrey or Bill Clinton.

UCLA researchers, studying the healthy cells of pre-op epilepsy patients, inadvertently discovered this property, which apparently varies with individuals but remains internally consistent (recognizing the celebrity’s name, picture or sound).

Patients were presented “hundreds of stimuli,” one researcher told The Wall Street Journal in October (2009), but “the neuron would respond to only one or two.” For example, neurons were found that reacted only to Jennifer Aniston, only to Mother Teresa, only to characters on “The Simpsons.”

Kanye is our warrior for the arts

by Katharine Romefelt

Even if you’re a Kanye hater, you can’t deny that his speech at MTV’s Video Music Awards over the weekend was a shot in the arm for the arts. Striking a balance of regret and self-righteousness, West said his blunt comments made at the show in 2009 were all part of his ongoing “fight” for artists.

The outspoken rapper said he’d begun to resent awards shows after witnessing Justin Timberlake, Cee Lo Green and Gnarles Barkley all lose after

recording their greatest albums. The infamous moment when West rushed the stage to interrupt Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech was triggered by built-up emotions.

But Kanye was interested in more than just apologizing for past actions on Sunday. He exclaimed that he would “die for the art, for what [he] believes in, and the art ain’t always gonna be polite”. Good for him. Because art isn’t meant to be polite. West went on to demand that our generation not “control the kids with brands”.

Get as much done as you can now, because you will want to enter this Labor Day weekend free and clear. Tonight: Let it all hang out.

★★★★★ You’ll empathize with a friend, and the next thing you know, you will be hanging out together. Spontaneity and travel go together.

What you have planned could fall to the wayside, but it is likely to be replaced by a more satisfying adventure. Tonight: Opt for an unusual idea.

time with a very special person. Make plans quickly. If you do, others will find you humming to yourself and looking off at the view. You might not be as subtle as you think you are.

Tonight: Celebrate the holiday weekend!

Even if you don’t buy Kanye’s message or support his decision to use the awards show stage as a personal platform, it was effective. Artists are their own greatest ambassadors. Maybe his audacity will inspire others to express a passion for supporting the arts.

At the end of the day, it’s “about people with ideas. People who believe in truth.”

Go to giive.org and search our Causes directory to find nonprofits that support the arts in your community.

A difficult discussion with a higher-up could be elusive, as you might not have all the facts yet. Tonight: Lead others into the weekend.

★★★★ You might be excessive in everything you do. Your excitement seems to affect others’ moods. Their responses are very similar to yours.

A family member could be confused, and will need clarification. Do it as soon as you can.

Tonight: Let someone else make the first gesture.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★ You might not be feeling as social as you would like to be. You have pushed yourself so hard trying to get so much done that you could be overtired and a bit withdrawn. Every so often, you forget that you are human, and end up feeling drained. Tonight: An early bedtime.

★★★ You might be in a position where you need to think ahead. Tackle as many errands as possible. Show off your ability to host a fun shindig.

Visit with an associate before the day ends. You need to wrap up a conversation about a workrelated matter. Tonight: Let the party begin!

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

This year you are living under a lucky star. If you can think of a well-founded desire, you can make it happen. Cut out any negativity as you greet a far better year than you have experienced in a while. If you are single, you will have many admirers, and you might be hard-pressed to maintain that status. Someone intrigues you a lot; be ready for an intense interaction. If you are attached, the two of you become more playful with each other than you have been in a long time. Pressure builds around your domestic life. GEMINI often clashes with you intellectually.
