THE GOOD LUCK, VIKINGS ISSUE

Paying the cost to be the boss

BY KEVIN HERRERA Editor in Chief

CITYWIDE It’s time to pay the piper.

Well, actually that time came and went.

Now it’s time to pay plus penalties.

City Hall’s Finance Department is in the

process of making final phone calls to business owners who are late in paying their business license tax, a critical source of revenue, helping to pay for essential services such as police and fire.

At the end of February there were more than 870 businesses that had failed to pay

their business license taxes for the current fiscal year (the number of businesses who have not paid changes daily as more checks are processed). The due date is Aug. 31.

Santa Monican to lead L.A.’s young Democrats

BY MELODY HANATANI Daily Press Staff Writer

DOWNTOWN It’s a good time to be the head of a group of young Democrats, leading the pack of political activists when there is a Democratic president and the national party has numbers in the legislature.

But that’s the life that Katherine Hennigan has lived since the 26-year-old Santa Monica resident was named the president of the Los Angeles County Young Democrats, taking the reins of a political organization whose members were actively involved in getting out the youth vote during the 2008 election.

“People are motivated to stay involved and I think the Obama experience really let young voters know how important their vote was,” Hennigan, who works as a planning deputy for L.A. Councilman Jack Weiss’ office, said.

While Hennigan came from a civically engaged family — her mother was a longtime deputy district attorney with the county and grandmother worked for the city of Los Angeles — she never became actively involved in politics until after graduating SEE CP PAGE 6

Recession may have longevity

BY DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press Writer

KILL ZONE

Morgan Genser news@smdp.com Santa Monica College's Matt Atkins (right) sets up a teammate for a spike on Friday. The Corsairs lost the match in four games to Moorpark.

The loss drops SMC's record to 1-1 in conference play and 6-3 overall.

Celebrated editor Jim Bellows dies at 86 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES Jim Bellows, a famed editor who transformed struggling newspapers in Los Angeles, Washington and New York, nurtured the careers of Tom Wolfe and Jimmy Breslin and helped make “Entertainment Tonight” a TV hit, has died.

He was 86.

Bellows had Alzheimer’s disease and died Friday at a nursing home in Santa Monica, said his wife, Keven Bellows.

For two decades beginning in the 1960s, Bellows took big-city newspapers that were fighting losing battles against large-budgeted giants and spiced them up with scrappy reporting and columns that often took jabs at their rivals.

“I am never happier than when someone

hands me a newspaper that is either not very good or in deep financial trouble,” Bellows wrote in his 2002 memoir, “The Last Editor: How I Saved the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times from Dullness and Complacency.”

“We didn’t have to worry about profit and earnings and so on, because we didn’t have any,” Bellows said in a 2002 interview for PBS’ “NewsHour.” “But we certainly worked harder and did unusual things in the process.”

Between 1961 and 1981, Bellows was an editor with the New York Herald Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Star and the Los Angeles Herald Examiner.

All but the Times eventually folded from financial pressures but some of Bellows’

innovations remained. For instance, he helped launch the gossip column “The Ear” for the Star. The column often tweaked Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee but it later moved to that newspaper.

As an editor, Bellows urged his writers to seek gritty details. He was famous for his mumbling, sometimes obtuse instructions, relying on a word or two, a raised eyebrow or a smile to convey his meaning.

“I didn’t know what he was saying,” Breslin once said. “But I knew exactly what he meant.”

Bellows went on to serve as managing editor of “Entertainment Tonight” from 1981-83, and was credited with helping turn the show into a ratings success.

His career, which lasted until he was past 80, ranged from newspapers to TV.

WASHINGTON Factory jobs disappeared.

Inflation soared. Unemployment climbed to alarming levels. The hungry lined up at soup kitchens.

It wasn’t the Great Depression. It was the 1981-82 recession, widely considered America’s worst since the depression.

That painful time during Ronald Reagan’s presidency is a grim marker of how bad things can get. Yet the current recession could slice deeper into the U.S. economy.

If it lasts into April — as it almost surely will — this one will go on record as the longest in the postwar era. The 1981-82 and 1973-75 recessions each lasted 16 months.

Unemployment hasn’t reached 1982 levels and the gross domestic product hasn’t fallen quite as far. But the hurt from this recession is spread more widely and uncertainty about the country’s economic health is worse today than it was in 1982.

Back then, if someone asked if the nation was about to experience something as bad as the Great Depression, the answer was, “Quite clearly, ‘No,’” said Murray Weidenbaum, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers in the Reagan White House.

“You don’t have that certainty today,” he said. “It’s not only that the downturn is sharp and widespread, but a lot of people worry that it’s going to be a long-lasting, substantial downturn.”

For months, headlines have compared this recession with the one that began in July 1981 and ended in November 1982.

— In January, reports showed 207,000 manufacturing jobs vanished in the largest one-month drop since October 1982.

— Major automakers’ U.S. sales extended their deep slump in February, putting the industry on track for its worst sales month in more than 27 years.

— Struggling homebuilders have just completed the worst year for new home sales since 1982.

— There are 12.5 million people out of work today, topping the number of jobless in 1982.

Davis is a quality choice

EDITOR IN CHIEF Kevin Herrera

Editor:

Enough is enough!

Beginning with the City Council’s announcement of an opening to fill the late Herb Katz’ council seat, and continuing even after Gleam Davis’ Feb. 24 appointment, council opponents have been on the attack. Some apparently see this as an opportunity to get a jump-start on the 2010 election cycle by continuing to criticize the council and drum up resentment in the community.

Sadly, what many seem to have overlooked, even since Davis’ appointment, is ... Gleam Davis herself. Our newest council member is a highly accomplished attorney with a solid history of service to the Santa Monica community. In 2006, as a first-time council candidate, she narrowly lost the election, but garnered widespread support throughout the city. She is a longtime advocate for public education, fiscally responsible, and supportive of affordable housing and rent control. While there were other outstanding candidates for the recent council appointment, Ms. Davis was an excellent choice to fill the spot. We Santa Monicans can be proud to call her councilmember.

As our elected representatives, the council has followed the law and appointed Ms. Davis to fill the council vacancy. I believe it is time to put aside the corrosive rancor and work together for the betterment of our city. There will be plenty of time to fight 2010 election battles when 2010 rolls around.

What about the beach lots?

Editor:

I think everyone is missing the big picture about the light rail system. The route it takes through our city isn’t half as important as an abundance of “Park and Ride” parking. For that reason the light rail should terminate in the parking lots at the beach.

It just makes sense. The lots sit there empty most of the time and are already built. It would be so convenient for commuters to drive to the beach lot, park the car, board the train and ride to Downtown Los Angeles.

And on weekends, the beach and the pier become the attraction for ridership going in the other direction.

Ridership is the only way to justify the cost of this project and everyone knows how difficult it is going to be to pry us away from our cars. We might drive to a light rail stop but only a few of us would take a bus to get there. At the recent Expo Line presentation at the Civic Center I noticed the plans for “Park and Ride” were very sketchy. “Land for parking is so expensive on the Westside” is what I was told by staffers at the event.

The people who are bringing the light rail to Santa Monica seem to be functioning under the fantasy that “If we build it, they will come.” That won’t happen. If our goal here is to build an expensive, empty transportation project then the termination point at Fourth and Colorado is perfect. If our goal is to put riders in seats on trains, the light rail needs to terminate at the already-available, already-built parking at the beach.

City ignores safety and traffic issues LAST TUESDAY, THE CITY COUNCIL TOOK

a good idea — Exposition Light Rail extension into Santa Monica — and set the stage for decades of disaster.

In making recommendations to Metro about its proposed Expo service into Santa Monica, the good news is council unanimously voted to vigorously oppose the location of a train maintenance yard adjacent to a residential neighborhood near Exposition Boulevard. The bad news is they unanimously supported a deeply flawed Colorado Avenue route instead of Olympic Boulevard.

The staff report to council on Expo’s route, submitted by Eileen Fogarty, director, Planning and Community Development, was woefully inadequate and incomplete.

It bemoaned the loss of coral trees on Olympic and complained about a proposed half-mile stretch of elevated line from 11th Street to Fourth Street recommended by Metro to minimize traffic impacts and maintain train schedules. The memo whined about the flyaway’s concrete support columns and an elevated station at the Fourth and Colorado terminus asserting they would create a “hostile environment for pedestrians.” Any aerial structure, it claimed, would create a barrier between the Civic Center and Downtown.

The report praised a street level or “at grade” Colorado Avenue alignment that “would create a more active pedestrianfriendly environment along Colorado and a ground level grand entrance into the downtown area.”

What nonsense.

Nowhere was there any mention of the three most important aspects of Expo: public safety, traffic impacts or train operation.

And, council’s endorsement of an “at grade” route down Colorado from near 20th Street to Fourth Street was made without traffic studies or environmental reports that would address these key issues.

Extensive documentation exists on the safety aspects of above, below or “at-grade” track configurations. Street level accident rates far exceed all other configurations put together. City Council and Expo cheerleaders totally ignore safety issues such as motor vehicles crossing and turning in front of trains and pedestrian/train accidents.

“Friends 4 Expo Transit” Co-Chair Darrell Clark wrote in a error-filled letter to the editor (“Lone Ranger,” March 3, page 4), “Mostly-ground-level light rail is the safe standard in many U.S. cities, including Los Angeles’ newest, the Pasadena Gold Line.”

The Gold Line doesn’t operate like the Expo Line will in Santa Monica. Clark is comparing apples to bananas.

Pasadena’s Gold Line travels in what is known as an “isolated right-of-way,” or with grade separation almost its entire length.

The only portion that doesn’t (0.75 miles in Highland Park) is where a near majority (45

percent) of the accidents on the 13-mile line occur!

Clark says Expo trains along Colorado will follow traffic signals like other vehicles, with lights timed so the trains would usually receive greens, but little change for cross traffic. Not true. Trains will “usually receive” signal priority, thus creating even more traffic congestion and Expo’s operating schedule itself will be affected by congested streets and red lights.

Another difference: on Colorado, trains will travel up to 30 to 35 mph with parallel street traffic beside the train (known as street-running mode). In the short Highland Park Gold Line segment, traffic stops in all directions and train speed is limited to 20 mph. Yet, accidents still happen!

Twenty-four trains per peak hour, ungated crossings at north/south streets including at busy Lincoln Boulevard and elimination of left turns and a turn across Colorado traffic at Fourth will contribute to gridlock throughout Downtown and mid-cities for generations to come. Maybe nobody cares if Expo on Colorado will greatly exacerbate congestion as long as we don’t have “ugly” concrete columns.

Worldwide, modern electrified rail systems run on private or restricted access right of way. Seattle’s famous Sky Train runs on tracks built above the city as does the newer Las Vegas monorail and the most famous of all, Disneyland’s monorail. Elevated transit is really cool, safe and efficient while trains on surface streets are “so 1920s,” they’ve fallen out of favor almost everywhere but Santa Monica.

Typical of the distortions proffered by Colorado supporters is Clark’s description of elevated right-of-way as “a concrete freeway bridge.” No Darrell, it’s not a “freeway bridge,” it’s a light rail flyover just like a narrow, striped street lane featuring a cartoon bicycle is a bike lane, not a wider motor lane.

Some complain about losing coral trees on Olympic. I hate cutting down trees, but with Expo, sacrifices will be necessary. Better to lose trees than children’s lives.

With only one neighbor showing up to complain about Colorado, the deal was sealed. Nevertheless, 25 years from now with Expo gridlocked and reeling from a string of accidents, people will ask, “Who’s responsible for the death and injuries?”

Add Expo to a growing list of planning disasters that includes the “much more development” Land Use and Circulation Element update and incoherent Civic Center plan.

The final decision on the location of a maintenance yard and final route alignment must be approved by Metro’s Board of Directors.

She began working for former L.A. Councilwoman Cindy Miscikowski as a council aide, engaged directly in constituent services, which entailed everything from answering phone calls to attending community meetings. It was at Miscikowski’s office where Hennigan met Kristen Lonner, another staff member who was the president of the LACYD. “It was important to me to recruit people I saw as good leaders,” Lonner, who is now one of the principals of political consulting firm Cerrell Associates, said. “When I came to Kate, it was more about increasing our membership as well as our leadership capabilities and I saw potential in her.”

It didn’t take many meetings for Hennigan to be hooked.

She has steadily ascended to the top over the past five years, serving as the activities director, vice president of programming and now president.

The organization was founded in 1973 by a group that included Congressman Howard Berman and Henry Waxman and former Los Angeles Controller Rick Tuttle. There are currently more than 900 members in the organization, their ages ranging from 18 to 35 years old.

Hennigan, who began her two-year-term in January, has big dreams of continuing the momentum with youth activism from the previous election, hoping to continue increasing the LACYD’s membership. The organization’s fundraising efforts last year grossed more than $30,000, a figure that is unheard of for political groups its type and size, Hennigan said.

“I think Obama really just lit a fire under young Democrats and they were just eager to

get involved in any way,” she said.

She added that youth involvement in politics is much different from when she was in high school and college, a time when voting was considered activism.

“I remember in high school and even the first part of college I was really into the (Bill) Clinton campaign but I couldn’t vote,” she said. “I had a very political family but it was never ingrained in people.

“It was never a cool thing to be a part of.”

The organization will be busy over the next year as there are several more elections scheduled in the county, including the runoff contest between Weiss and Carmen "Nuch" Trutanich for L.A. City Attorney.

Hennigan’s rise to the presidency was a welcomed turn-of-events for Lonner, who didn’t think her former colleague when recruited would one day lead the organization.

She credits the LACYD’s growth to Hennigan.

“It’s grown from a place of being kind of a job search organization to really being valuable in Los Angeles for its young leaders,” Lonner said.

Following her term, Hennigan said she will remain active in the organization but also plans to attend law school, following in the footsteps of her mother and working in public service.

She recalls going to court with her mother as a child and sitting in dinners with victims of crimes to go over cases.

“I think I realized at a much younger age that there were a lot of things that needed to be fixed,” she said. “When I was at LMU, the mission of the school is to realize that a fulfilled happy life is all about giving back and I really agree.” melodyh@smdp.com

POWER UP: When you compare battery to gasoline power, electricity wins hands down.

Dear EarthTalk If you have an electric or plug-in hybrid car, you’re paying for electricity rather than gasoline all or most of the time. How does that cost compare to a gas-powered car’s cost-per-mile? And since the electricity may be generated from some other polluting source, does it really work out to be better for the environment?

Kevin DeMarco Milford, Conn.

WHEN YOU COMPARE BATTERY TO

gasoline power, electricity wins hands down.

A 2007 study by the non-profit Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) calculated that powering a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) would cost the equivalent of roughly 75 cents per gallon of gasoline — a price not seen at the pump for 30 years.

The calculation was made using an average cost of electricity of 8.5 cents per kilowatt hour and the estimated distance the car would travel on one charge, versus a car that gets 25 miles per gallon and is powered by $3 per gallon gasoline. Change any of those variables and the relative costs change. For example, substituting a car that gets 50 miles per gallon doubles the comparative electrical cost (though it still works out much cheaper than gasoline). On the other hand, in some areas where wind or hydropower is wasted at night — just when the PHEV would be charging — the utility might drop the kilowatt hour cost to two to three cents, making the charge much less costly.

And don’t worry that we’ll run out of electrical power: A 2005 study by the U.S.

Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory estimated that three-quarters of the country’s current small vehicle fleet could be charged by our existing electrical grid without building new power plants. (And if all those cars were replaced by PHEVs, it would eliminate the need for 6.5 billion barrels of oil per day, or 52 percent of current U.S. oil imports.)

Regarding environmental impact, charging up your car with electricity from the grid also wins handily over filling up at the gas station.

In the most comprehensive PHEV study to date, released in 2007 by EPRI and the nonprofit Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), results predict that all greenhouse gases will be reduced as PHEVs begin to penetrate the car market. Estimated cumulative greenhouse gas reductions from 2010 to 2050, depending upon how fast PHEVs take hold, range from 3.4 to 10.3 billion tons.

More than one half of our national energy grid is powered by coal, and in areas where PHEVs are charged through coal-provided electricity, says NRDC, there is the possibility of increased levels of soot and mercury emissions. However, charging up can be much less of a guilt-ridden affair where cleaner electrical sources like wind and solar are available.

The website HybridCars.com points out that as more power plants are required to develop green power and emit fewer greenhouse gases, the environmental and health benefits will further increase.

MONDAY, MARCH 9, 2009

Over 800 businesses failed to pay taxes FROM TAXES PAGE 1 misdemeanor charges in addition to late fees. The late fee is 10 percent of the tax due for every month it is not paid, up to 100 percent of the total value.

“We are not trying to make this a punitive process,”said Pamela McGarvey, acting revenue manager for City Hall who is in charge of collecting the tax. “We are trying to be as diligent as possible. We want people to pay on time.”

There are more than 16,000 businesses in Santa Monica, the overwhelming majority of which have done just that, but for one reason or another others have not.

“We get all kinds of excuses,” McGarvey said.

Some business owners, especially property owners with four or more units, are elderly and may not be up to speed on all of their bills. Some may have simply forgot to pay while others are behind on their federal taxes or have gone out of business, failing to notify City Hall.

Such was the case for Jasmine Winston of Dutch Flower House, formerly on Pico

Boulevard. Winston said she had to close the Pico location in December because business was slow. She now operates out of her home office in Pacific Palisades.

“I believe we notified them, but I’m not sure,” Winston said.

Business are required by law to notify City Hall if they close. Businesses operating after July 1 are obligated to pay the business license tax even if they fold a few months later.

Marice Egan is still responsible for paying the current fiscal year tax for KidsBizz, a clothing store on Montana Avenue. Egan is in the process of shutting her doors because of the sluggish economy and expensive rent.

During an interview last week Egan said she knew she was late on paying and was planning to settle up with City Hall.

“Taxes definitely need to be paid,” Egan said. “It definitely won’t happen again.”

Egan hopes to reopen in another area of Santa Monica and does not want to burn any bridges.

“After 20 years it is unbelievably sad that I have to bail out,” she said.

One company, Overview Construction,

closed because the principal contractor, Griffith Hoerner, died in a plane crash in Malibu late last year, an employee said.

Several phone calls to other businesses were not returned. Those on the failed-topay list as of Feb. 27 included dentists and lawyers, a limousine company, motel and a video game production house. There were a few doctors as well, plus plenty of retail outlets, restaurants and a private school. Even a monster like Google is listed.

“It’s a whole broad spectrum,” McGarvey said.

For most businesses, including auto dealerships, property managers and retailers, the tax is $1.25 per each $1,000 in gross receipts for the previous year. For contractors the tax goes up to $3 per $1,000. Those businesses that make less than $40,000 are exempt from the business tax, but are required to maintain a business license and pay all other taxes and fees. Gross receipts must be verified by federal tax returns.

The business license tax is an important source of revenue for City Hall, representing

roughly 10 percent of the General Fund. Last fiscal year, City Hall collected $24.6 million and expects to collect $26.6 this year, money based on 2008’s receipts.

David Carr, a principal budget analyst in charge of investments for City Hall, said business tax revenue will flatten out next year after four years of significant growth, much of which has to do with the economy today. The projections could change as the full extent of the economic slump is not yet known.

“Things have gotten worse,” Carr said. “It’s pretty volatile. It’s hard to get a handle on it.”

The Finance Department refers only about a dozen cases to the City Attorney’s Office for prosecution each year, McGarvey said.

But once it gets to that point, offering to pay is not enough, said Terry White, a city attorney in charge of the Criminal Division.

“We are not filing charges to be a collection agency,” he said. “Offering to pay is not going to settle the matter.” news@smdp.com

Vikings take on Long Beach Poly today on the road FROM HOOPS PAGE 1 “They are not the Poly of old, but they are still quick.”

The Vikings were recently eliminated from the CIF-SS Division I-A playoffs by Canyon Springs. 48-50. Samohi was the no.

2 seed in the division. Poly was the runner up in Division I-AA this season. Poly lost to Cajon, 44-52, in the title game last week.

Also making the statewide tournament was the boys basketball team at Samohi. The Vikings will take on Dominguez High School in the first round also on Monday at 7 p.m.

Verdugo said his players were excited to have a second life in the postseason and looked forward to the first round matchup.

Aside from the joy of qualifying comes the chore of preparing for a Poly team that is traditionally one of the best squads in the state.

“We have to keep them from getting out to a fast start,” Verdugo said. “We have to keep the score close by the end of the first quarter.”

He figures Poly will apply the full-court press early in the game, adding he just wants his squad to “play their game” and stay relaxed.

Sabrina Norton, a freshman post player who missed most of the regular season due

to injury, will return to the rotation in the first round. The daughter of NFL great and current USC assistant coach Ken Norton is expected to give the Vikings a boost at precisely the right time.

“It think she is going to help our post players,” Verdugo said. “She gives us a little quickness inside.” daniela@smdp.com

■ "Reproduction is no fun if you're a squid," said a biologist at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, referring especially to the deep-sea squid. Finding a mate a mile down in pitch-darkness is hard enough, but the combination of males that are smaller and fearful of being overpowered and females whose reception of sperm involves being stabbed makes the insemination process especially traumatic. Sperm deposits can be extensive and burdensome to the female and are delivered by the reckless slashing of the skin by the male. In fact, according to a December report in Germany's Der Spiegel, in the darkness the male sometimes misses the female altogether and inseminates himself.

■ Princeton University scientists, reporting in January on research in Peru, said they observed aggressive, carnivorous behavior for the first time among dung beetles, which decapitated and ate millipedes. Dung beetles were not known previously to be fussy eaters (except for a 2006 study in which they seemed to prefer horse dung to camel dung or sheep dung).

TODAY IN HISTORY During the Civil War, the ironclads USS Monitor and CSS Virginia (formerly USS Merrimac) clashed for five hours to a draw at Hampton Roads, Va. The future emperor of the French, Napoleon Bonaparte, married Josephine de Beauharnais (boh-ahr-NAY'). (The couple divorced in 1809.)

Indiana's General Assembly passed America's first involuntary sterilization law, one aimed at "confirmed criminals, idiots, imbeciles, and rapists" in state custody. (This law was struck down in 1921 by the Indiana Supreme Court, but a new law was passed in 1927 that was repealed in 1974.)

Mexican raiders led by Pancho Villa attacked Columbus, N.M., killing 18 Americans.
