SMC first Southern California Community College to getNational Accreditation for early childhood education degrees

Santa Monica College (SMC) has become the first community college in SouthernCalifornia — and only the second in the state — to receive national accreditation for itsAssociate of Science degrees in Early Childhood Education/Career as well as itsAssociate in Science for Transfer degree in Early Childhood Education, which satisfiesmost of the California State University lower-division requirements and offers studentspriority admissions consideration at select CSU campuses.

After a rigorous process of self-review and site visits by out-of-state experts thatbegan about a year ago, the National Association for the Education of Young Children(NAEYC)—the foremost professional association for the early childhood education field—has awarded Santa Monica College full accreditation. SMC is one of 195 two- and four-year institutions nationwide that are accredited.

The approval report cited strength in faculty who are “committed to student successand involved in the early childhood profession; program responsiveness and innovationto address the needs of the community; and the program’s promotion of both career andtransfer pathways.” The report further commended SMC’s program “for its manystrengths revealed through the accreditation process and beyond.”

SMC ECE Professor Gary Huff says accreditation is an honor that adds a measure ofvalidation both to the department and for students. “It also means that we are deeplycommitted to a continual process of self-study and improvement of our program basedon a set of national standards for excellence,” he said. “Accreditation supports our goalto provide the highest quality teacher education experience, preparing SMC students forsuccess in rewarding careers working with young children and their families.”

Dr. Kathryn E. Jeffery, SMC Superintendent/President added that the accreditation is“a testament to the dedication and hard work of Santa Monica College faculty, who arepassionate, progressive, and among the most highly qualified in the field.”

Demand for professionally trained employees in the child development field is on therise, and research studies by RAND and the Brookings Institution have found that earlyeducation, particularly before age 5, has long-term benefits, especially for economicallydisadvantaged students and dual-language learners.

SMC’s Early Childhood Education programs are designed to meet lower division edu-cation and licensing needs of students planning a career or currently working with chil-dren from birth to approximately 8 years of age in early childhood settings.

“The goal of our program,” said Laura Manson-Weingarten, SMC ECE DepartmentChair, “is to help our students understand child growth and development and to experi-ence what that looks like in a classroom setting.”

Upon graduation, students are qualified to work in the pre-school and infant-toddlerfields or to go deeper into their studies, transferring to four-year programs in elementaryand special education, child psychology, counseling and other child-focused occupations.

In addition to the two newly-accredited Associate of Science degrees, Santa MonicaCollege also offers an Early Intervention Assistant Associate Degree and Certificate ofAchievement; an Infant and Toddler Studies Associate Degree and Certificate ofAchievement; a Department Certificate in ECE (CORE) which prepares students to obtainan Associate Teacher permit; and a new Transitional Kindergarten certificate. To find outmore about these programs, please visit www.smc.edu/ece or call (310) 434-8109.

CitywideHeal the Bay launches “The River Report Card”

Last summer, Heal the Bay released a landmark study of water quality that showedthat bacterial pollution continues to plague the L.A. River on a chronic, long-term basis.Heal the Bay scientific report demonstrated that increasingly popular recreation zonessuffered from poor water quality, and posed health risks for growing number of peoplefishing, swimming, and kayaking its waters.

The findings were a cause for concern, but also served as an opportunity – given allthe renewed interest about the L.A. River and a $1 billion revitalization plan for L.A.’scentral water body.

Building on that study and the longtime work to protect public health by providingweekly water quality grades at California beaches. Heal the Bay this year committed toregular water quality monitoring in rivers throughout greater L.A.

Recently Heal the Bay took the wraps off the River Report Card, a new online tool thatlets users check for harmful bacteria levels at nearly a dozen freshwater recreational

zones, stretching from Malibu to Frogtown, from Encino to Atwater Village.Heal the Bay began monitoring inland recreational areas in 2014, starting with swim-

ming holes in the Santa Monica Mountains, and adding sites in the L.A. River in 2015. Tomake sure people could see whether these popular spots are clean and safe, the organ-ization posted the test results online in a weekly blog.

With their expanded River Report Card, the public can use the online map to check outwater-quality ratings (green, yellow, or red) at their favorite summer spot. There will bean update of the grades twice a week, every Monday and Wednesday. The data comesfrom bacteria testing by Heal the Bay staff, supplemented by testing by the City of LosAngeles and Council for Watershed Health as part of the Los Angeles River WatershedMonitoring Program (LARWMP).

Dear EarthTalk: How does Canada’s newly released “Food

Guide” differ from the food recommenda-tions offered up by the U.S. government?

J. WheelerAlbany, NY

THESE DAYS, MANY COUNTRIES AROUNDthe world produce food guidelines periodi-cally to help improve nutrition and encour-age healthy lifestyles among their populaces.The most recent update for Americans camein 2013 when the Obama administrationreleased its MyPlate guidelines suggestingthat a healthy diet consists of 30 percentgrains, 40 percent vegetables, 10 percentfruits and 20 percent protein, the latterincluding some dairy. In unveiling theMyPlate guidelines, First Lady MichelleObama suggested that Americans need notmeasure out exact proportions but insteadsimply make sure to exercise portion controland fill half their plates with fruits and veg-etables and the other half with lean proteins,whole grains, and low-fat dairy.

But earlier this year Canada came outwith its own new set of more detailed foodguidelines which public health advocates arepraising as an improvement over America’srelatively simplistic standards. Indeed,Canada’s new Food Guide incorporates spe-cific recommendations for eating the rightfoods according to an individual’s age andgender, and also offers tips regarding servingsize for each food and preferred cookingmethods, as well as suggestions for main-taining a wholesome lifestyle and bodyweight with daily physical activity.

Based on input from some 20,000Canadians, Canada’s new Food Guideencourages the intake of plant-based pro-teins like legumes and soy products ratherthan meats and dairy (although still advisesto give whole milk, low-fat yogurt andcheese to young children). “There’s no moredairy food group, a win not only for publichealth but also cultural inclusivity, given thatup to 90 percent of some non-European eth-nicities are lactose intolerant,” says AnnaPippus, an animal rights lawyer and director

of Farmed Animal Advocacy at the non-profit Animal Justice. “It’s also a huge winfor the cows who really don’t want us to killtheir babies so we can steal their milk.”Pippus adds that instead the new guidelines“sensibly advise people to drink water.”

Canada’s new Food Guide also recom-mends avoiding fruit juices—even those thatare 100 percent fruit—as well as other sweet-ened beverages and energy drinks, insteadsuggesting water as by far the best way to stayhydrated. The Canadian guidelines also pro-motes making food from scratch wheneverpossible, while acknowledging that frozen,packaged and canned foods can be worthysubstitutes if necessary. And in a nod to theinterconnectedness of our food systems,Canada’s new guide highlights how the choic-es we make about what we eat impacts theenvironment and has serious consequencesregarding keeping the planet safe and clean.

While Canada may be far ahead of manycountries in promoting healthier lifestylesand smarter food choices, we can all learn athing or two from our neighbors to thenorth about how making small changes inour diets can lead to healthier, longer lives.The release of Canada’s new guide alsounderscores the need for the U.S. to updateits own food guidelines accordingly. Butregardless of whether or not the Trumpadministration feels compelled to issue itsown dietary updates, concerned Americanscan take matters into their own hands byupping the proportion of organic and local-ly sourced foods on their dinner plates andtempering a balanced diet with moderateamounts of daily exercise.

attend the concert. Find the open letter here:https://sites.google.com/view/donotattend-pragerconcert/.

Now fiery headlines like “UCLA Profs Tryto Stop Prager from Conducting Symphony”and “The Dictatorial Left” are rising to thetop of Google searches about the concert.

IS IT REALLY A BOYCOTT?Prager contends that the musicians are

trying to “disinvite” and “boycott” himbecause of his conservative views.

But speaking for the four musicians whoare sitting out the concert (70 others will beperforming), violinist and UCLA PoliticalScience Professor Michael Chwe responded:“None of us have ever called for Prager to bedisinvited from guest conducting. None ofus have ever called for …the concert to becancelled…We would be happy to work witha musically excellent conductor who hasconservative political views. We object toPrager’s participation because he widelybroadcasts bigoted views.”

Their open letter cites Prager’s anti-homosexual and anti-Muslim remarks.Violinist (and UCLA History Professor)Andrew Apter writes: “This is not a partisanissue, but one about decency and respect fordiversity and tolerance. In the Santa MonicaSymphony, to subject ourselves to the com-mand of his baton is an implicit, if notexplicit, endorsement of his bigoted ideas asa public figure.”

COUNCIL MEMBERS WEIGH INMayor Ted Winterer says he doesn’t plan

to attend the concert and is not encouragingothers to go.

Councilman Kevin McKeown, a musicianhimself, was quoted in Prager’s Op-Ed, “Ipersonally will most certainly not be attend-ing a concert featuring a bigoted hate mon-ger. The judgement (or lack of) shown ininviting Prager may affect future communi-ty support for the Symphony (whose con-certs I have attended in the past).” NowMcKeown is receiving hate mail.

Both McKeown and Council MemberGleam Davis agree with City Manager RickCole and the City Attorney’s position that withFirst Amendment protections, the city can takeno action in connection with artistic choicesmade by the orchestra. But, Davis says, Prager’spolitical and other statements “are not repre-sentative of my or our city’s progressive, inclu-sive values. While we cannot and should notsilence those with whom we disagree, we cer-tainly can refuse to support them.”

Santa Monica Symphony Orchestra hasbeen providing free community concerts for45 years but bumped up against a fundingshortfall this year. Their budget is quite small,in the $150,000 range, and the City of SantaMonica provides less than 10% of its funding.

Given Prager’s large national radio audi-ence, the orchestra’s Board of Directors (oneof whom went on a trip to Israel led byPrager a few years ago and was impressed byhim) saw an opportunity to tap into his localpopularity to generate ticket sales and raiseawareness of the orchestra. Targeted ad pur-chases for the concert are focusing on mediathat reach Prager’s audience, and Pragerhimself is talking about it on his radio show.

Santa Monica Symphony’s much-lovedand highly-respected orchestra leader GuidoLamell is so convinced Prager’s presence willbring in urgently needed funding that he ispersonally guaranteeing the high costs ofbooking Disney Hall.

LINGERING EFFECTSSome of the protesting musicians believe

that in the long run, this decision will hurtthe orchestra’s reputation. But while othersare conflicted, most of the participatingmusicians say that love of music and theirorchestra matter more than politics, andthey’re excited to play Disney Hall, whichPrager considers an honor.

Freelance guest cellist Andrea Comsky,who is not a member of SMS, says shejumped at the chance to play with theorchestra because she and her husband JackCousin—L.A. Philharmonic’s double bassplayer since 1974 and an SMS regular—willfinally perform together professionally forthe first time since they met in an orchestramore than 16 years ago. Disney Hall is theicing on the cake for her and she’s sorry

there’s been controversy.“If someone decides not to come,”

Comsky said, “that’s up to them. But I wouldnever ask musicians or conductors abouttheir political viewpoints. If I did, I mightnever go to anything. The concert and musicare separate issues to me; Prager is not givinga political speech, he’s coming in to conduct.”

But Michael Chwe says the decision tohand the baton to Prager will have lastingconsequences for him: he’s leaving theorchestra. “The decision … has caused me tolose faith in the artistic and moral integrityof Guido Lamell and the SMS leadership. Idon’t think I could play with the SMS againwith an open heart.”

house that managed to collect and preservemuch of Santa Monica’s history. As their col-lections grew so did the group’s desire toshare this information. So, in 1988 the SantaMonica Historical Society opened its doorsfor the first time as the Santa MonicaHistory Museum and the current facilitynow lies on the eastern side of the MainLibrary in the heart of Santa Monica.

“The museum’s significance has grownsince its founding as a historical society in1975,” Jackson said. “We have been fortunateenough to have overwhelming public supportwhich has allowed us to grow and find ourhome here at the Santa Monica Public Library.”

Organizers said the doors to this museumare open to all who wish to enhance theirknowledge on the rich history of the city.Whether it’s through flipping through theThen and Now photo station or waltzingthrough the alluring arch of the DonaldDouglas Aircraft exhibit, the Santa MonicaHistory Museum’s exhibits will take youthrough a doorway into the past, a pastmany residents didn’t know existed.

“Our exhibits consistently provide visi-tors with a history many are unaware of,”Jackson said. “Often our visitors leave know-ing something special about their city thatthey didn’t know before.”

Although small in physical appearance,the work put into the historical maintenanceis vast. Going from a simple summary aboutthe native tribes that originally populatedthe Santa Monica Bay Area to the old center-piece for the Ferris wheel at the SantaMonica Pier, the weight the photos and arti-facts have on visitors is tremendous.

“The Santa Monica History Museum ishome to a vast collection of unique items thatare not available from other organizations,”Jackson said. “We offer a more in-depth lookinto our city’s complex and interesting history.”

While for many people, history was alwaysthe subject they fell asleep to in high school,taking a trip to the Santa Monica HistoryMuseum can have a lasting impact on visi-tors. Between its permanent exhibits and itscurrent rotational exhibit on KCRW, themuseum teaches its visitors the importanceof keeping in touch with our cities roots andthe benefits of taking a small portion out ofyour day to experience the museum.

“We hope to teach the public about theimportance of institutions like ours andinspire community and civic engagement,”Jackson said.

Free nights will be Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 - 8 p.m. until Labor Day 2017. The museum is located at1350 7th St. Call (310) 395-2290 or visit santamonicahistory.org for more information.

The full moon and lunar eclipse in the humanitarian sign of Aquarius helps us to appreciate philanthropicand diplomatic efforts, while also realizing that it is sometimes impossible to avoid the psychological dragof complicated community organizing. To the diplomat, diplomacy is a manner of being. To anyone else, it’swork.

Lunar Eclipse

ARIES (March 21-April 19)In juggling and in life, the key to keeping all theballs in the air is freeing your hands up as soonas possible. “The world is won by those who letit go.” -- Lao Tzu

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)There are levels to honesty. Getting to the deep-er levels will have nothing to do with morality,goodness or faithfulness. The deeper levels ofhonesty are about knowing yourself and beingwilling to look at your needs and motives.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)Forgiveness doesn’t change what happened,but it might change how you feel about whathappened, thus altering the energetic imprintof the situation. Lighter living means carryingless of the past along with you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)Sometimes stealing a kiss makes it more excit-ing to have it. But if you always have to stealyour kisses, the relationship is casting you inthe energetically demanding role of “sneakythief.” Is it really worth the effort?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Maybe you’re afraid to get rid of somethingbecause you fear you’ll need it in the future.Have a little more faith in your own resource-fulness and your place in the universal order.That is to say: You are precious and will becared for.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)It won’t be easy to find what sparks your joy,but you’ll get closer by noticing what doesn’t.You’ll do this without judgment or snobbery.When you declare something to be a better fitfor you, you’re not saying it’s better in general.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)Some think there’s beauty in chaos. Othersfind sadness and anxiety there. Some chaoswill be unavoidable today. What you do with itwill fall somewhere between grace and art.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)There’s a thought you’d like to extract fromyour mind for fear that it will influence how youbehave -- maybe even who you become. Thisone needs to be examined and broken downbefore you can build it back up.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)The competition among your family memberswill be particularly palpable, complex andunnecessary today. This is ancient businessplaying out in new ways.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Sometimes it feels like the same things arebeing offered over and over, year to year, townto town, person to person. This weary world-view is an indicator of soul-level exhaustion.Take a nice long break.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)When you feel like putting the brakes on anendeavor, first put an investigation on it. Whatwas the purpose? Is that purpose still worthfulfilling? Don’t quit before you examine whyyou started.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)You don’t have to be radically truthful witheveryone, as that could (pointlessly) open abag of worms. However, it might help to get alittle more radically truthful with yourself.What is it you want and need that you’re notgetting?

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 7)

This solar return features a different way of using and appreciating money. The new ease in this areaof life will help you get a creative endeavor off the ground. Clean, clear space, and make way forexcitement in October. Spiritual perception will be heightened in 2018. Karmic gifts center aroundfelicitous relationships. Pisces and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 50, 1, 28 and 42.
