Redistricting Reform Measure Signed into Law Legislation authored by Senator Ben Allen (D – Santa Monica) allowing counties and general law cities to establish independent redistricting commissions was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown.

“This is a good government policy that will bring a refreshing level of independ-

ence to what historically has been a highly politicized process,” Senator Allen said.

“The independent redistricting commission that draws state legislative and congressional lines is a well-recognized success, and I am pleased that local governments will now be able to embrace a similar reform.”

Current law permits counties and general law cities to create redistricting commissions but limits them to an advisory role only. Under existing law, with the lone exception of charter cities, the recommendations of local redistricting commissions can be advisory only.

The legislation, SB 1108, permits all cities and counties to establish redistricting commissions with the power to create and adopt new city council and supervisorial districts. The new law includes criteria for the selection of commission members that ensures they will be independent and free of conflicts of interest. Like the state redistricting commission, local commission members may have no familial, political, or professional relationships with any officeholders or candidates in the city or county. A commission may not be comprised entirely of members registered to vote with the same political party.

“A reformed redistricting process greatly strengthens representative democracy and reduces voter cynicism,” Helen L. Hutchison, President of the League of Women Voters of California said in support of the bill.

SB 1108 received bipartisan support in both houses of the legislature.

L.A. Historic Neighborhoods Conference: Growing Up with Character Worried about teardowns and other types of incompatible development in your older or historic neighborhood? Wondering how to protect the great qualities that drew you there in the first place? If so, you’re certainly not alone. People all over Los Angeles are facing similar issues, and we’re here to help. Join the Conservancy and the Los Angeles Department of City Planning’s Office of Historic Resources for a day-long forum on neighborhood conservation, including presentations by experts in the field, interactive workshops, and dialogue with community stakeholders. The conference is presented in partnership with the West Adams Heritage Association. The theme of this year’s conference is community character, from treelined streets of historic homes, to clusters of older duplexes and bungalow courts, to “background buildings” in industrial neighborhoods. The event is open to anyone interested in neighborhood conservation and will examine a range of topics, includ-

targeting gay men and lesbians were violent, the highest percentage since 2003.

By comparison, 68% of racial crimes and only 21% of religious crimes were of a violent nature. The overall rate of violence rose slightly from 62% to 63% and there were three attempted murders.

“We are extremely concerned that reported hate crimes increased dramatically in 2015,” said Robin Toma, LACCHR Executive Director. “The disturbing rise in bias-motivated crime indicates that despite the gains made by historically marginalized communities, bigoted attacks are still a daily occurrence and that is unacceptable.”

“The over-representation of African Americans as victims of racial hate crimes, the high rates of violence experienced by LGBT victims and the spike in anti-Muslim and Middle Eastern hate crimes at the end of 2015 are reminders that our work is far from over,” said Commission President Isabelle Gunning.

Hate crimes occurred throughout the variety of regions of Los Angeles County, but the largest number of hate crimes took place in the San Fernando Valley, followed by the Metro region that stretches from West Hollywood to Boyle Heights. The highest rate of hate crimes occurred in the Metro region, followed by the western part of the county that includes a number of affluent cities. The western region was the site of a large number of anti-Jewish vandalisms.

The western area encompassing Santa Monica includes Beverly Hills, Culver City, Malibu, Marina del Rey, Pacific Palisades, Playa del Rey, Venice and Westchester.

There were 40 reported hate crimes for an estimated population of 659,937.

The region had 6.1 crimes per 100,000 residents.

Hate crimes in Santa Monica were motivated by sexual orientation and gender.

L.A. County Sheriff’s Executive Officer Neal Tyler added, “Since taking office, Sheriff Jim McDonnell has made outreach to all communities a priority, in part to ensure that trust is continuously fortified between Sheriff’s personnel and the people who are targeted victims of hate. Sheriff McDonnell remains passionate about combatting hate and all forms of bigotry. He is well aware that hate crimes victimize each of us in the same way terrorism threatens our peace of mind, even for those not specifically targeted. The LASD will continue our outreach efforts, our trust building, our investigative and enforcement activities, and our hate crime prevention undertakings, such as educating our youth through our ‘SHARE Tolerance’ program.”

ing mansionization, historic and conservation districts, community advocacy, and the City’s re:code LA initiative. The day will kick off with a performance by Ambassador of Americana, Charles Phoenix. Far from just speakers and presentations, this conference gives you a chance to discuss and address specific issues in your own neighborhood.

Hate Crimes in Los Angeles Increase 24%, the Largest Number Since 2011 The Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations (LACCHR) has released its annual account of hate crimes reported throughout Los Angeles County in 2015.

After trending downwards for seven years hate crimes rose 24% from 390 to 483, the largest number reported since 2011. By comparison, during this same year the CA Attorney General’s office reported a much smaller state-wide increase in hate crime of 10% during the same year.

There were increases across the board in crimes motivated by race, sexual orientation, religion, and gender/gender identity. As in past years, the largest number of hate crimes targeted African Americans who represent only about 8.3% of County residents but were 58% of victims of racial hate crime. A significant factor driving the over-representation of black hate crime victims are racially-motivated attacks by street gangs, mostly those with ties to the prison-based Mexican Mafia gang.

Hilda Solis, Chair of the L.A. County Board of Supervisors, said, “This is troubling news that confirms the need to protect our residents of this County who deserve to live free of prejudice, discrimination, harassment and violence.” She added, “Under my leadership, our Board of Supervisors took action to address Islamophobia earlier this year, and I will continue to make it a priority for the County of Los Angeles.”

Hate crimes targeting many other groups rose in 2015. Anti-Latino crimes jumped 69%. There were also increases in bigoted attacks on Jews, gay men, lesbians, Muslims, Asian Americans, Armenians, and transgender women.

Anti-Muslim and Middle Eastern crimes spiked in November and December after the terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino.

Consistent with previous years, transgender women experienced the highest rate of violence. All 18 of these crimes were of a violent nature. 84% of crimes

First Solyndra went under, then SunEdison... If solar energy is growing so much in the U.S., why have some of the bigger players gone under and will the survivors be able to stay the course?

Scott Marcinik Altoona, PA

No doubt, solar power is surging. The trade group Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) reports that our domestic solar power capacity has seen a compound annual growth of nearly 60 percent over the last 10 years. Meanwhile, solar accounted for 28 percent of all new power added to the U.S. electric grid in 2015 and the prices of photovoltaic panels have fallen so steeply that solar is now cost-competitive with coal or natural gas in some parts of the country. And there’s no sign of solar slowing down anytime soon.

But just because Americans are warming up to solar doesn’t mean that every company looking to lead this power revolution has been able to manage the growth and navigate the tricky world of shifting subsidies and incentives. The most infamous case of a solar company flare-out is Solyndra, a California-based start-up that was pioneering the design and manufacture of thin film photovoltaic cylinders and secured $545 million in federal loan guarantees from the Obama administration’s economic stimulus package.

“But a solar manufacturing boom in China crushed the price of conventional crystalline photovoltaic (PV) solar panels,” reports David Ferris and Saqib Rahim in EENews’ EnergyWire. “The economic rationale for Solyndra’s pricey tubes was undermined, and the company declared bankruptcy in August 2011.”

Solyndra’s demise was certainly an

embarrassment to the Obama administration, which had been touting the company as an example of the direction we should be heading in our energy sector, and augured poorly for the future of the still nascent green economy. But despite the setback, solar has grown at a record clip since 2011, surpassing wind as the largest renewable energy source in California.

This very maturation of the solar power industry in the U.S. made the April 2016 news of the bankruptcy of SunEdison, one of four remaining big players in the American solar industry, that much more surprising, given that the company was much larger in employees and revenues than Solyndra and had received more federal subsidies and loan guarantees overall.

“SunEdison’s bankruptcy, for creditors, customers, shareholders and partners, is a very big deal with all manner of negative repercussions,” comments Clint Wilder of the clean-tech advisory firm Clean Edge, “and it’s a cautionary tale like those we’ve seen across the energy landscape and in other industries, where over-leveraged, aggressive growth strategies can come crashing down.”

Meanwhile, America’s remaining solar powerhouses—SunPower, SolarCity and First Solar—continue to expand judiciously.

And hundreds of smaller players are working to shake up the industry even further and keep the bigger players on their toes.

While the growing pains for America’s solar industry are far from over, the future still looks bright for solar power specifically and renewables of all kinds.

moved away, pursued other interests or given up the hobby to care of their families.

And the group now organizes dances just once each month, a far cry from the days when events were held almost every Saturday.

“It’s getting to be a dying art,” longtime member Ruth Michaelson said.

The local club’s slow decline in membership — it now has about 45 active dancers, according to Michaelson — is mirrored by the discipline’s withering throughout the region.

When Michaelson started square dancing about 20 years ago, there were five relatively accessible clubs in the area. Now, aside from the Red Ribbon Squares, the closest dances are run by an organization called Heels and Souls and held at the Felicia Mahood Multipurpose Center on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Los Angeles.

“We are dwindling,” she said. “And it’s happening to clubs all over the country. ... I hate to blame everything on the computer, but kids just don’t get out anymore.”

Square dancing’s waning popularity seemingly underscores just how impressive the local group’s longevity is. Earlier this year, the Red Ribbon Squares celebrated their 65th anniversary. A big dance is planned in January for No. 66.

And despite recent trends, the group still hopes to be around for many years to come.

Last month, organizers held a free dance to showcase the art form to the community, drawing what Michaelson called a “huge turnout.”

But it takes more than watching one dance or attending one class to understand the nuances of square dancing. It’s a long process that takes considerable commitment, Michaelson said, and it requires regu-

lar practice.

“It takes months to learn,” she said. “You can learn a couple moves, but then you’ve got to remember them, and then the next week you learn a couple more moves, and the next week you learn a couple more. But it takes a good 17 weeks just to get the basics.”

Classes are held on Tuesday nights, and the regulars — known as “angels” — assist so that all newcomers have partners.

The local club also practices line dancing, which doesn’t require a partner. That’s actually how Michaelson got roped into square dancing about two decades ago: She saw a newspaper advertisement for line dancing, showed up for a lesson and quickly got “hooked” on square dancing.

Michaelson also fell in love with the sense of camaraderie in the group. During her years as a Santa Monica College jewelry instructor, she led classes at the Marine Park auditorium off Marine Street east of Lincoln Boulevard. One day, as she was setting up, square dancers who happened to be there helped her put out chairs for her students.

Her story is woven into the history of the Red Ribbon Squares, who have been dancing at the local park’s auditorium since the late 1950s. Earlier this year, Mayor Tony Vazquez signed a commendation that acknowledges the group’s durability.

The dance group has organized outreach efforts in recent weeks, doing a demonstration for the local Kiwanis Club and also performing at the Lions Club’s annual pancake breakfast.

“We try to say, ‘Hey, come on down,’” Michaelson said. “The best recommendation is word of mouth. We can accommodate just about anyone.”

of Education meeting last month at SMMUSD headquarters, officials began unveiling how they’ll contribute to improving equity in a district where they say demographic factors are far too predictive of academic success.

The plans were discussed more than a year after the district’s hiring of Noguera, a professor and renowned sociologist who has been analyzing obstacles to improved outcomes for poor and minority students.

The academic component of the plan is crucial, officials said. Educators and community members stressed the importance of linguistic diversity, saying that teachers must recognize that English learners bring with them not only other language skills but often other cultural backgrounds as well.

The finance department, meanwhile, pledged to build a district budget for 201718 that prioritizes the efforts being made to close the achievement gap.

“Now that you’ve really defined it and identified it, it’s really our role,” chief financial officer Jan Maez said. “We want to make sure our use of the resources is in alignment and supporting the path that we’re on. We’re involving all of the people that have been along on this journey.”

Carey Upton, director of the district’s facilities department, said the district should consider how changes in teaching will impact building decisions.

“It was always one person standing in front of a classroom and lecturing,” he said, noting a potential need for tweaks in ceiling construction to improve acoustics. “Now, most of our classes are spent in small groups.”

Tara Brown, the SMMUSD director of student services, will be spearheading antibullying efforts by teaching students what to do when they see bullying. Teachers, counselors, office personnel and custodial staffers will also need training.

“We really take it seriously,” she said. “That is one of the goals of student services this year: implement an anti-bullying curriculum.”

Gail Pinsker, who manages communications and public relations for the district, said she’s planning to brainstorm with parent liaisons to improve outreach to families who don’t speak English.

Interim deputy superintendent Mark Kelly said the district’s equity work will require a fresh approach to hiring teachers.

“We’re thinking about them as facilitators, not as sages,” he said. “They have to have the capacity to listen.”

He also said the district should focus on ways to reduce student stress.

Information services director Ruthy Mangle said wireless classrooms comprise only one part of the district’s improvements in technology.

“Our goal is, whatever you can think of, we can support that,” she said. “We need to be a little bit ahead.”

Community members expressed guarded optimism about the district’s plans.

“This beautiful plan — what’s going to happen to it?” parent Robbie Jones said. “I really want to see these things happen.”

Bernice Onofre, a member of the district advisory committee on intercultural equity and excellence, said she was excited about the district’s direction.

“I’m going to have a good sleep,” she said.

“Every department came and spoke about how they are going to accomplish this goal.” jeff@smdp.com

CUSTOMERS: Owners said they opened the facility in response to requests from the public.

BEER FROM PAGE 1

became clear to executives that the beerdrinking community was interested in sipping their suds straight from the source.

Pedestrians tried walking into the Colorado Avenue facility to sample beer, wondering aloud why a tasting room didn’t exist.

Potential patrons emailed about their plans to visit Santa Monica and wanted to know the hours of a tasting space that didn’t exist yet.

“The public demanded it,” co-owner Scott Francis said. “I can’t begin to tell you how many phone calls we received from people asking if we have a tasting room. ... Finally, the moment presented itself where we were able to actually do it. And so we did.”

Santa Monica Brew Works opened its doors to the public last month, a landmark moment for the city’s first brewery. The owners didn’t do much advertising aside from sharing the news with their followers on social media, allowing word of mouth to drive foot traffic.

The 112-seat tasting room will welcome beer enthusiasts on Wednesday and Thursday nights from 6 to 11 p.m., Fridays from 6 to midnight, Saturdays from noon to midnight and Sundays from noon to 8 p.m.

Francis and fellow co-owners Richard Super and Carl Sharpley envision the tasting room on Colorado Avenue between 19th and 20th streets as a gathering place for people who want to drink local beers and see where they’re made. Sharpley, a former bartender at Ye Olde King’s Head in Downtown Santa Monica, is overseeing the space.

In addition to its five core beers — a blonde ale, a witbier, an IPA, an extra pale ale and a golden porter — the brewery will serve up a rotating slate of seasonal beers. It’s cur-

rently offering a cucumber kolsch, a chili pepper pale ale a double IPA. Two big-screen TVs accent the premises, and the executives plan to show iconic Los Angeles movies, surf documentaries and a Santa Monica history reel. They want the brewery to represent the beach city in which it’s located, and they’ve been grateful for the support of City officials.

“That’s been awesome,” said Francis, noting that Mayor Tony Vazquez recently came by for a visit. “Neighborhood people keep coming in, too.”

In addition to the beers on tap, the brewery is selling four-packs of 16-ounce cans of select beers and will also have snacks and merchandise available for purchase. Food trucks will stop outside the facility on the weekends.

Francis said the Expo Line didn’t influence the owners’ decision to establish a brewery on Colorado Avenue, but he said it’s an added bonus that patrons can easily access the tasting room from the 17th Street/Santa Monica College transit stop.

Santa Monica Brew Works now has the equivalent of 8.5 full-time employees, Francis said. The staff includes brewer Drew Pomatti, a Santa Monica native.

And the acquisition of an adjacent 4,300 square feet gave executives the space to create a tasting room at what was initially a 9,300-square-foot facility.

“The response has been overwhelmingly positive,” Francis said. “People are into artisan food, and they love to see and feel the experience firsthand. ... It’s a sense of community, not only for Santa Monica but also the beer community.

“People are rooting for us. And we’re not going to do anything to stop them.”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 3)

By PETER GALLAGHER

Strange Brew

9

By JOHN DEERING

Every obstacle is an opportunity. Because you’re on the constant lookout for ways to turn circumstances in your favor, you’ll alight on a terrific piece of good fortune between now and the end of the year. A smart team will be working for you. The one you invested in will pay you back in May. July brings a bonus. Taurus and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 10, 13, 20 and 41.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

The scenery around you today is neutral by nature. It will be up to you to give it context. If you want it to be joyful, and your heart is ready to receive it that way, it will be joyful.

Hold some cards close to your chest. No one in this game needs to see your entire hand. Also, note that there’s a difference between bluffing and lying, and that difference is in the spirit of your play.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will mystify people who think they know you well as you explore areas of study that are completely foreign to them. You only need to go a few steps into this new path before suddenly the old road will be lost behind you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re a fast learner, but in order to create a habit you still must do the same thing everyone else has to do, which is repeat and relearn over and over until the action is engrained and automatic.

Do you have the right to know how another person is spending his or her time? You feel entitled to the information, but that’s not always the best indicator. An impartial party could help you figure this one out.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It only takes a small amount of extra effort to get off to a winning start, but the positive momentum this generates will give you an advantage through the whole experience.

For you there is no glory in sitting somewhere on the upper decks and enjoying the spoils of the kind of work that could only happen on the dirt. That’s why today you’ll get close to the work, down where it’s happening.

The past is barely present in your thoughts today, because there is so much around you to keep you very much focused on fulfilling the needs of the moment-to-moment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’re naturally fascinated by life. There are people around you, however, who need to be entertained. Your quest to keep them amused has led you to do very unusual things in the past, and the trend will continue today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

As for a certain relationship: Your options are to go on, or to stop. Sometimes you can go on and stop at the same time, which is what you’re doing when you don’t make a clear choice.

Diversity in your schedule is the key to happiness. A little of the physical, the cultural and the spiritual will brighten your world, even if you can only get in 15 minutes at a time.

Agnes

Dogs of C-Kennel

Mystery Moon The unknown is an exciting prospect under this moon of mystery. You can use that extra glitter dust that comes with new packaging to your advantage to draw people in under the Scorpio lunar influence. Just remember that once the novelty wears off, it’s the usefulness of things that keeps them in rotation.
