22ND STREET Despite complaints fromnumerous neighbors, the PlanningCommission agreed to let a residen-tial child care center double thenumber of kids allowed on site.
The Activity Place, which cur-
rently looks after 14 kids, will beallowed to serve 30 kids, assumingan appeal is not filed.
Five neighbors complainedabout the center as it currentlyoperates, citing excess noise, park-ing issues, and traffic on the street.
The approval passed 6 to 1, withCommissioner Jim Ries being the
lone dissenting vote, but several ofthe affirmative voters expressedreluctance, given the public testi-mony.

SACRAMENTO California’s Assemblyon Thursday approved a hotly con-tested bill requiring that nearly allpublic schoolchildren be vaccinat-ed, clearing one of its last majorlegislative obstacles before themeasure heads to the desk of Gov.Jerry Brown.
The bill aims to increase immu-nization rates after a measles out-break linked to Disneyland inDecember sickened over 100 peo-ple in the U.S. and Mexico.
It would give California one ofthe nation’s strictest vaccine lawsby striking the state’s personalbelief exemption. Only childrenwith serious health issues would beallowed to opt out of mandatory
vaccine schedules. Unvaccinatedchildren would need to be home-schooled.
If the bill becomes law,California would join Mississippiand West Virginia as the only stateswith such strict requirements.

Santa Monica’s solid sustainability Mayoral stanceEditor:
Our 2006-2007 County of Los Angeles Civil Grand Jury assayed the status and intentwith regard to sustainably, enveloped within a questionnaire to all 88 cities within theCounty, and the County itself. Findings evinced the City of Santa Monica to be exemplar-ily far ahead of all. Most cities were doing little or nothing except awaiting a hoped-forfuture federal or state government grant. As Chairman of that Committee report, and aprivate citizen, I again praise Santa Monica for its strong continuing sustainability posi-tion and action in encouraging the Mayors and President of our nation.
James Corbett TaskerSanta Monica
PYFC debateEditor:
At the heart of this debate over funding of the Pico Youth and Family Center lies thefundamental question. How do we turn lives around? Is it through isolated skill trainingon how to fill out a job or college application, or is it through a more familial setting inwhich young people are given those resume-writing skills while also encouraged tobecome leaders in their community, challenge the status quo, and rock the boat?
The City wants a gang intervention model that is more sanitized, less politicized, andteaches skills separate and apart from issues related to equity and ethnic pride, povertyversus privilege, but this begs the question: Can such a model, one devoid of socialaction, ever succeed with the most disengaged youth, those with the greatest need forrelevancy?
Doubtful.Young people most likely to drop out of school and into the criminal justice system
need a strong anchor, and there is nothing stronger than a sense of self-efficacy. I can do this. I can change the world.

AT 35, THE LATE VINCENTBugliosi was the tirelessprosecutor in the successfulManson family murder trial.He would also become a NYTimes best-selling authormany times over, includingHelter Skelter, the most pop-ular true crime book in his-tory selling over 7 millioncopies. Sadly, on June 5th,Bugliosi died after a years-long battle with cancer. Hewas 80 and left behind hiswife of 59 years, Gail, andtwo adult children. For thepast seven years I was proudto have known him.
Bugliosi’s talent and ethicswere best summed up by leg-endary defense lawyer andHarvard professor, AlanDershowitz. “If I were on trialand guilty,” Dershowitz said,“there’s no prosecutor Iwould fear more than VincentBugliosi. But if I were inno-cent, there’s no prosecutor Iwould welcome more.”
I first crossed paths withVince in 2008 when Inoticed that he had writtenThe Prosecution of GeorgeW. Bush for Murder, whichwas due out soon. Intriguedby the title, I immediatelycontacted the publisher toreview it. Curiously, they
seemed surprised by myinterest. Only later would Ifind out why. In the mean-time, I soon received a copyof Vince’s book and couldn’tput it down.
Bugliosi contended thatBush intentionally deceivedthe country into the IraqWar. After copious research,Vince postulated that,assuming a fallen soldier hadlived in their jurisdiction,any of the 50 state attorneysgeneral, or any county D.A.,had legal grounds to indictBush for murder. “At thisstage of my life, I would notrisk my reputation on some-thing I wasn’t 100% sure hadlegal merit.”
The strongest evidenceagainst Bush, according toBugliosi, was an October 7,2002 speech claiming thatIraq posed an imminentthreat to the security of theUnited States. A NationalIntelligence Estimate a weekearlier stated almost theopposite. Bugliosi furtherclaimed the Bush adminis-tration purposely deletedsections of the declassifiedversion of the NIE releasedto Congress.
In the book Bugliosi alsocastigates Bush for his cava-
lier attitude regarding thedeath and suffering ofAmerican Soldiers. Aftereight years as president, hequotes Bush as saying,“Laura and I had the time ofour lives,” as though theyhad been to Disneyworld.Shockingly, Bush also said toIraqi troops to “Bring it on.”And lastly Bugliosi pointsout that W. spent two and ahalf years of his presidencyon vacation at Camp Davidand the Crawford ranch.
Shortly after my reviewappeared, I was told Vincephoned the Daily Presslooking for me. I gulped,“Why?” I instantly assumedI’d made some factualerrors, “Tell Bugliosi I nevereven met Charles Manson.”Finally, I returned his call,albeit nervously.
Bugliosi immediatelypraised my courage. “Youwere the only mainstreamjournalist in America withthe guts to review the book.”I tried to explain that it was-n’t “guts” but rather a dislikefor Bush, but Vince foreverinsisted I was courageous.
This was the start of aseven-year mutual admira-tion. When the“Prosecution of George W.
Bush” was made into a doc-umentary, The Prosecutionof an American President, Ireviewed it enthusiastically.
Vince and I even shared apassion for tennis. He was ahigh school state championand received a tennis schol-arship to the University ofMiami. Small world, when Iwas commissioned to write acolumn about GardnerMulloy, the 100-year-oldformer U of Miami tenniscoach, Vince had his homephone number. He referredto Mulloy as “Tennis royal-ty,” which actually becamethe title of my article.
Now, items Vince wouldhave appreciated my noting.One, even though no news-paper, including the NYTimes, reviewed or eventook his ad money, TheProsecution of George. W.Bush sold 130,000 copies inthe first three months. Two,Vince accepted that no mat-ter how great his otheraccomplishments, he wouldalways be remembered asthe Manson prosecutor.“Those murders were prob-ably the most bizarre in therecorded annals ofAmerican crime, so I under-stand.”
And lastly, the best-sell-ing Reclaiming History, doc-umenting Vince’s view thatOswald was JFK’s lone assas-sin, was the book of whichhe was proudest. That said,after numerous discussionshe and I agreed to disagreeon Oswald’s role.
Because it was so out ofcharacter, I can’t forget thetime Vince was having coffeewhen I phoned and whatfollowed. “To what do I oweyour call?” he asked warmly.“Nothing, I just find it com-forting to talk to someonewho despises George Bushmore than I do.” For thoseold enough, a la DannyThomas, Vince laughed sohard he spit out his coffee.
In closing, I’m remindedof what Vincent Bugliosi Jr.said recently, “My father hadan unflagging dedication tojustice in everything he did.”Amen to that. VinceBugliosi, R.I.P.
Almost all of Vincent Bugliosi’s12 books and The Prosecutionof an American President areavailable wherever books andDVDs are sold. JJAACCKK is at face-book.com/jackneworth, twit-ter.com/jackneworth and [email protected].

with two speakers on poles.”As the event has grown, saidGordon, organizers are alwayssearching for ways to improveit. One goal is to better engagewith social media. This year,visitors can enter anInstagram contest with achance to win a bike by takingand uploading their photos.
The feedback from mer-chants and residents livingnear Main Street has beenmostly positive, said Gordon.Some merchants who partic-ipate in sidewalk sales reporttwo or three times the nor-mal amount of business dur-ing the SOULstice, while oth-ers report that they do notbenefit as much from the fes-tival’s demographic.However, the day long festi-val is about more than sales.“It’s not just about doinggreat business,” said Gordon,“It’s about bringing people to[Main] Street so that theycan have a good time and willcome back.” The SOULstice
has become a communityevent, said Gordon, and formany people in the commu-nity “it’s just a good after-noon in the summer.”
“Ultimately, we want togrow the event so that it iscontinuous from the south-ern end of main street toPico,” said Gordon. However,such growth will be hinderedunless the event can attractbigger sponsors. Largersponsors are often turned offfrom the event because MainStreet itself is not closed, saidGordon. In addition, esti-mating the number of visi-tors to the SOULstice is diffi-cult due to the manyentrance and exit points. Anaccurate headcount candemonstrate to sponsors theexposure they get by sup-porting the festival.
For this year, at least,Main Street will remainopen. Only Pier Street andKinney Street will be closedoff. Visitors are encouragedto park at the beach or MainStreet parking lots. The eventwill run from 1 - 7 p.m.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS
complaints lodged against the operators ofthe day care.
One resident, who lives next door to theproperty, said he never officially complainedbecause it struck him as “being a bad neigh-bor.”
He called the expansion a bridge too far,noting that his significant other works oddhours.
“She bought a home for half a milliondollars in this community so that she couldthrow open the windows and the doors andenjoy that breeze and instead she is subject-ed to 14 children in the backyard and whatshould be a joyous sound, which is thesound of children laughing and being happy,instead has become a source of hypertensionfor her and constant angst,” he testified.
One neighbor said that parents often useher driveway to turn their cars around afterpicking up or dropping of their kids.
Another said he spent $5,000 to replacehis windows in an effort to combat thenoise.
Owners of the day care said they weresurprised to hear the complaints at themeeting and that they wished neighborswould have come to them first.
Ries sympathized with the need for child-care within the city of Santa Monica, but
advocated for the creation of more facilitatesspread throughout the city, rather than thedoubling of size of a single facility.
Commissioner Richard McKinnon notedthat the only way to get the operators toagree to conditions that might combat theproblems currently existing on-site, was toapprove their request with stricter require-ments.
The applicants noted that part of theexpansion involves creating a larger indoorspace, thereby reducing the need to have kidsin the backyard.
The initial proposal would have allowed amaximum of 11 kids in the backyard at anygiven time but commissioners amended thattotal down to six.
Under the new conditions, two employ-ees will assist in the morning drop-offprocess, which will occur in waves over thecourse of a set time in the morning.
Commissioners asked the day care tomaintain 12-foot hedges along the propertyto reduce noise.
They also asked that the agreementincluded specific language that restricts par-ents from using the driveways to turnaround.
“I’m going to urge the applicant to workwith the neighbors no matter what happenswith your plans,” Commissioner AmyAnderson said prior to affirmative vote.

most vulnerable?” Assemblywoman LorenaGonzalez, D-San Diego, asked as she pre-sented the bill.
The measure passed on a bipartisan 46-30 vote after weeks of vocal opposition, withthousands of parents placing calls to repre-sentatives and donning red shirts to protestat the Capitol.
But proponents have been equally res-olute, standing by 7-year-old leukemia sur-vivor Rhett Krawitt Wednesday as he deliv-ered a petition with over 30,000 signaturesto the Democratic governor. Krawitt’s par-ents said that because he could not beimmunized for a year after receivingchemotherapy, they were nervous to sendhim to school in the chronically under-vac-cinated Marin County.
“We should fight for the liberty not justof those who don’t want to vaccine theirkids, but for those who cannot,” saidRepublican Assemblywoman CatharineBaker, R-Pleasanton, during Thursday’sfloor debate.
Two Republican assemblywomen joinedthe Democratic majority in support. TheSenate already approved the bill once, butstill must approve amendments before it issent to Brown. The Senate could take upamendments as early as next week.
Brown has not said whether he wouldsign the bill authored by Democratic Sens.Richard Pan of Sacramento and Ben Allen ofSanta Monica.
“The Governor believes that vaccinationsare profoundly important and a major pub-lic health benefit and any bill that reaches hisdesk will be closely considered,” spokesmanEvan Westrup said in an email that repeatedBrown’s earlier statement.
Opponents of the vaccine bill gatheredon the Capitol steps after the vote, vowing tomake their voices heard to the governor.
“Parents are being bullied into having theirchildren vaccinated or not sending their kids toschool,” said Renate Krogdahl, a Cupertinomother of three who was among the protesters.
Sen. Bill Monning, D-Carmel, saidThursday that he and Pan have been targetedfor recall by opponents. Monning said his dis-trict, which includes Santa Cruz, has a highnumber of parents who seek vaccine exemp-tions for their children and he has had to shutdown his district office out of safety concerns.
In the floor debate, some AssemblyRepublicans argued that the measure tram-pled parental rights.
“We do not have the right, nor should wehave the power, to take away a parent’s rightto choose,” said Assemblyman DevonMathis, R-Visalia.
There were also divisions amongDemocrats, with Assemblyman Mike Gatto,D-Glendale, taking the floor to warn of gov-ernment overreach.
“If anyone can tell me where the line formedical necessity reasonably ends to justify alaw, then I will vote for this bill,” Gatto said.“Until then, this is a slippery slope.”

FILM REVIEWLOVE & MERCY
Rated PG 13121 MinutesReleased June 5th
Whether Beach Boys music framed thedays your childhood, or you know it as clas-sic soft rock, it probably has an importantemotional place in your memories. As I wasgrowing up, technology didn’t exist toappreciate the full quality of the instrumen-tals behind the Beach Boys hits. My carradio and bedroom clock/radio were griev-ously incapable of transmitting the incredi-ble sound values of this music. Even so, ithad a place in my life that was more impor-tant than I realized.
The story structure in Love & Mercy isnot linear - that style opens the door for usinto the mind of Brian Wilson, which dancescapriciously from one realm to another. It’sa composite of Brian’s emotional life, fromhis point of view, rather than a detailed his-tory – a poetic journey inside the inspira-tions of a musical genius.
The scoring of the film by composerAtticus Ross, and the handling of the record-ing sessions by cinematographer Robert D.Yeoman and director Bill Pohlad are superb.The scenes of the music developing inBrian’s head are very effective, especially tothose of us with creative, unpredictableminds. They capture the depth and emo-tional quality of Brian’s sounds.
Paul Dano gives a remarkable portrayalof young Brian and bears a startling resem-blance to him. His understanding of thefragile mental state of this musician is subtleand believable. I was pleased to see that film-makers cast an actor who could play thepiano well – then I discovered later thatDano elected to do a “crash course” in pianofor this role. John Cusack, who plays Brianduring a later stage of life when he is riddledwith overmedication and psychosis, nails therole. We can feel his silent agonized cries.Paul Giamatti creates a bone-chilling por-trayal of the power-hungry psychiatrist.
In one poignant scene, Brian takes hisgirlfriend to the site of his family home inHawthorne, now an empty dead end with abusy freeway visible across a fence, as thehouse had been demolished in the mid-1980’s. The film doesn’t cover the future ofthe spot - in 2004, music industry notableshad the site designated as a state historiclandmark. A monument has been erectedthere and Richard Huhn, Chair of theHawthorne Parks & Recreation Commission
Hawthorne still sells commemorative bricksfor the site and donates his time to keep itclean.
This movie schools us in the fact that wetake our contemporary music for granted. Itseems to magically emanate from ourphones, our iPods, our computers, to under-score our feelings and provide a backdropfor our lives. We don’t realize how impor-tant it is to us in coloring our existence, inhelping us hang on to our stability throughunsettling periods in our lives. We don’trealize the depth, the angst and talent of themusicians who create it, many of whom werevere today, the future Mozart’s and Bach’sof music history. Brian Wilson indeed is amodern-day Beethoven.

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S PUZZLE
■ Backyard firing ranges arelegal in Florida (as News of theWeird reported last year), and inMarch a Florida House committeevoted to keep it that way, shoot-ing down legislation to outlawthem even in urban and residen-tial areas. (Firing on privateproperty is legal except if shoot-ing over a public right-of-way oran occupied dwelling, and “negli-gent” gunfire, though illegal, isonly a misdemeanor.) In 2014,one Florida legislator, originallyfrom Alaska, said even in that lib-erty-conscious state, residents inurban Anchorage do not haverights that Floridians have.■ Convicted “satanic cult” daycare operators Dan and Fran
Keller were finally unconvictedby the Texas Court of CriminalAppeals in May -- 23 years afterbeing found guilty based in parton toddlers’ fantastical testimo-ny (encouraged by counselors)telling impossible tales ofmolestation.
