President Donald Trump hasannounced the United States willabandon the Paris Climate agreementbut local organizations are pushingahead with a variety of efforts aimedas sustainability and the environment.
In the next week, Santa Monicawill host six events tied to the envi-ronment including movie screen-ings, stormwater certification work-shops, tours of green businesses,presentations on sea level rise and adiscussion of electric vehicles.
The events were not plannedwith Trump’s decision in mind nor
were they specifically coordinatedwith each other but city officialssaid Santa Monica has such astrong commitment to the envi-ronment that it’s not unusual tohave several opportunities to par-ticipate within a short time frame.
“Having represented SantaMonica as our Mayor at the Parisclimate change summit, where wegave an international presentationon the coming solar electrificationof the Big Blue Bus, I am personal-ly appalled that our nation isworming out of a compact to saveour planet,” said CouncilmanKevin McKeown. “At our nextmeeting, I will ask the City Council
to reaffirm our commitment to theParis goals, intensify our efforts indefiance of the Trump withdrawal,and work with California leader-ship to continue creating the 21stcentury clean energy economy.”
The local events begin onSaturday, June 3 with a presenta-tion on sea level rise.
In anticipation of World’s OceanDay, The City of Santa Monica’sOffice of Sustainability and theEnvironment and SustainableWorks are working with the StateCoastal Conservancy and coastalcommunities across California toeducate and engage the communityon the impacts of sea level rise.
The three hour “Shrinking Shores”workshop will run from 9 a.m. tonoon and include the opportunity tolearn from City officials and local non-profit organizations on what’s beingdone to prepare for sea level rise,explore sea level rise through virtualreality, take a walking tour of the SantaMonica Beach Dune Restoration pilotproject and networking.

The 8th annual Santa Monica Pier
Paddleboard Race & Ocean Festival
returns to our shores on June 10, 2017
with a new title sponsor, Clif Bar &
Company. Since its beginning nearly a
decade ago the event has grown into
one of the must-attend events for both
the elite competitive paddling and
ocean racing crowd and thousands of
spectators who come for the excite-
ment, history and activities. The Santa
Monica Pier provides a unique venue
for the event unlike anything else on
the coast.
The all-day ocean festival takes
place on the main pier deck and the
beach directly south of the Santa
Monica Pier. Over 300 athletes from the
globe will be competing for $15,000 in
prize money and non-cash prizes. This
year’s competitions include a 5.5 mile
open ocean paddle for both prone and
stand up. A 2-mile fun paddle. An open
ocean swim. Also returning this year for
its 3rd time is beach volleyball.
Lifeguards from around the south-
land will compete in lifeguard dory rac-
ing, including the 3-lap course directly
south of the Pier. This race features
teams of two rowing in and out of the
shore break, which can be thrilling with
larger waves. This is typically one of the
crowd favorites, with hundreds of spec-
tators lining the pier for a bird’s eye
view as the dories make their way
through crashing waves.
Music is also an important part of the
Paddleboard Race and Ocean Festival,
with a main stage featuring various per-
formers throughout the day culminating
in a big musical party after the awards
presentation. This year’s headlining act is
The Matteson 2, a jazz-rock guitar and
drums duo from San Diego. The identical
twin Mattson brothers have been
described as sounding like a soundtrack
of the jangle of the see and the jazz of
the surf. Additional acts will be
announced soon.
On the pier deck, the historic and
popular waterman’s museum returns,
celebrating the long history of paddle-
boarding at the Pier since the 1940s and
features antique surfboards, paddle-
boards, lifeguard equipment and vin-
tage automobiles.
The event benefits The Surfrider
Foundation and the Bay Foundation.
Both are non-profit organizations dedi-
cated to preserving coastal access, pro-
tecting the environment and improving
the health of our ocean environment.

WINNERAWARD WINNERAWARD WINNER
IT’S BEEN ELEVEN YEARS SINCE I STARTEDwriting for the Daily Press. Including mymonthly “The Snide World of Sports,” andthe occasional book and DVD reviews, I’vewritten over 600 columns. As some writersmight relate, “I’m still trying to get it right.”While it’s a challenge each week to come upwith a new subject, this week’s column literal-ly came to me. In retrospect, I wish it hadn’t.
Over the years I’ve received dozens ofreader emails, which, for the most part, I’vethoroughly enjoyed. But I’ve had my share of“odd responses.” In one column many yearsago I castigated J. Edgar Hoover, whoserecorded included, in my opinion, so muchabuse of power as to be criminal,
I questioned then and still do, why theFBI building is still named after Hoover.Included in the column was a reference toHoover’s J. Edgar’s infamous “pink chiffondress” that he reportedly wore to numerousparties he hosted.
I mentioned Hoover’s dress because of somany reported incidents where he black-mailed homosexuals. Hoover was FBIDirector under seven presidents and evenessentially blackmailed them. Lest they everconsider firing him, Hoover would cleverlylet each know what he knew, “It’s a goodthing this came to me, Mr. President, ratherthan one of your enemies.”
After that column I received a series ofemails from a seemingly very intelligentfemale reader who was offended by my“making fun of cross-dressers.” I wrote backthat I wasn’t making fun of cross-dressers ingeneral, I was making fun of Hoover whoseemed to have a predilection for cross-dressing. This exchange went back and forthuntil she accused me of being “a secret crossdresser.” No matter how I assured her thatwas not the case, she would respond,“Spoken like a true cross-dresser.”
As I look back those exchanges werecharming by comparison to a certain read-er’s voice mails this week. At first I foundthem amusing but as I listened more I foundthem chilling. And, surprise, surprise it wasfrom a Trump supporter and a very drunkone at that.
On Monday I received an email fromMatt Hall, the SMDP editor, saying that areader had left 9 anonymous and somewhatdisturbing voice mails in response to my col-umn last week. Hall offered to make anaudio copy and send them to me via email ifI wanted to hear them. I thought why not.
Now I wish I hadn’t. (Or wish I could hit“delete” on my memory of them.”)
Never revealing his name, the reader wascompletely drunk and, unfortunately, alsocompletely anti-Semitic. Early on, herevealed such hatred for Jews, I found itdepressing to say the least. He used aboutevery anti-Semitic slur I’ve ever heard andadded what should happen to Jews. “Andyou know what I mean,” he said menacingly,Later, and a more than once, he added, “Thelittle guy didn’t finish the job.” (Clearly a ref-erence to Hitler.)
Having listened to two of the nine tapes,I started to get angry and concerned by hisnot so veiled threats. I decided to call thepolice. SMPD basically suggested I listen toall nine tapes, make notes of actual threatsand get back to them. Frankly, I found thecaller’s hate-filled rants so ugly, I’d rather beshot than to have to listen to one more word.
Oddly enough, I also I sensed tragedy tohis rants. In his drunken state, he lamentedabout serious injuries he sustained while aconstruction worker on a high-rise“Tishman building.” He apparently filed alaw suit but complained, “Suing one Jewmeans you’re suing all of them.”
Some might say I’m not being fair, butwhy am I not surprised the caller was suchan avid Trump supporter. I’ve suggested forover a year now that Trump has somehowlegitimized hate. Watching a hate-filledTrump rally during the campaign caused meto observe sadly, they were a rope away froma lynch mob.”
Obviously, the vast majority of Trumpsupporters are not racists. That said, if youwere a racist and looking for a party and acandidate in the 2016 election, the GOP’sDonald Trump would be your man.
On election night in 2008, as Obama gavean inspiring speech from Chicago’s Grant Parkbefore a huge crowd, I hoped we were enteringa new post racial era. Sadly, I was naive.
Talk about sad, on the eve of the NBAFinals, Lebron James revealed somberly thata racial slur was spray painted on the gate tohis Brentwood mansion. Meanwhile, nineanti-Semetic voice mails are on my comput-er. Actually, after I send this column to print,I’m going to hit delete. In the real world, ifonly it were that easy.

LOS ANGELESAuthorities say video confirms account in shooting of teen
Surveillance video corroborates an off-duty federal law enforcement officer’s accountthat he was being robbed when he killed a 15-year-old boy and wounded another teen lastweek, authorities said Thursday.
In addition, a lawyer’s claim that the boy was executed is a “complete fabrication,” LosAngeles County sheriff’s Lt. John Corina said.
The video, which has not been released, shows three teens, ages 14 and 15, followingthe officer Friday night as he exited a light-rail train in suburban Arcadia, Corina said.
The officer was wearing headphones and listening to music when the teens came upbehind him and hit him in the head at least three times, he said.
One of the teens, Darius Smith, 15, pointed a BB gun at the officer’s face and demand-ed money, Corina said. The officer pulled out his service weapons and fired seven times,striking Smith and one of the other boys.
Smith was shot four times — twice in the chest and twice in the buttocks. He ran fromthe scene, collapsed about two blocks away and died several hours later.
The other boy collapsed after being shot and the officer held him at gunpoint untilpolice arrived, Corina said. The third teen ran off and was arrested several hours later.
Lee Merritt, an attorney for Smith’s family, said at a protest Monday that the teen was“executed” as the officer stood over him.
“He was not in the midst of a robbery. He was shot twice in the legs first. He fell andhis shooter got over him and shot him three times in the chest,” Merritt said.
Merritt did not immediately respond Thursday to a message seeking further comment.Corina said investigators also have statements from witnesses that indicate Smith ran
off during the shooting and collapsed while the officer remained at the scene.BY MICHAEL BALSAMO, ASSOCIATED PRESS
HONG KONGUber posts $708 million loss and says finance head left
Uber posted a $708 million loss in the most recent quarter and said its head of finance isleaving the company, the latest executive to depart in what has been a very tough year to date.
Uber told The Associated Press Thursday that its first-quarter loss was narrower thanthe $991 million loss it posted in the previous quarter. It had revenue of $3.4 billion, up18 percent from the final three months of last year.
Even before the announced departure of head of finance Gautam Gupta, which thecompany announced Thursday, Uber has struggled .
The San Francisco company recently lost its head of communications, president andother senior executives as it faces allegations of sexism and sexual harassment in theworkplace. CEO Travis Kalanick had to apologize earlier this year after video of him argu-ing with an Uber driver was made public. And the Justice Department is probing allega-tions that Uber used an app to thwart authorities who were trying to determine if thecompany was following local regulations.
Gupta’s departure comes just days after Kalanick’s mother was killed in a boating accident.The company this week followed through on threats to fire star autonomous-car
researcher Anthony Levandowski, whose hiring touched off a bitter trade-secrets fightwith Waymo, the former self-driving car arm of Google.
Waymo has alleged that Levandowski downloaded 14,000 documents containing its tradesecrets before he left the company to found a startup that was later purchased by Uber.
On Thursday, an Uber driver was killed outside of Chicago by a 16-year-old girl in abizarre and apparently random attack with a knife and machete.
Uber said it’s launching a search for a chief financial officer. Gupta, who had been withUber for four years, is going to work at another startup.
Uber is looking for a chief financial officer with experience at a public company as itconsiders its own initial public offering.

America’s staunchest allies, who haveexpressed alarm about the decision.
Under former President Barack Obama,the U.S. had agreed to reduce emissions to26 percent to 28 percent of 2005 levels by2025 — about 1.6 billion tons.
But Trump said the agreement disadvan-taged the U.S. “to the exclusive benefit ofother countries,” leaving American business-es and taxpayers to absorb the cost.
Scientists say Earth is likely to reach moredangerous levels of warming sooner as a resultof the president’s decision because Americacontributes so much to rising temperatures.Calculations suggest withdrawal could resultin emissions of up to 3 billion tons of addi-tional carbon dioxide in the air a year —enough to melt ice sheets faster, raise seashigher and trigger more extreme weather.
The U.S. is the world’s second-largest emit-ter of carbon, following only China. Beijing,however, has reaffirmed its commitment tomeeting its targets under the Paris accord,
recently canceling construction of about 100coal-fired power plants and investing billionsin massive wind and solar projects.
White House talking points obtained byThe Associated Press said the Paris accordwas “a BAD deal for Americans” and that thepresident’s action would keep “his campaignpromise to put American workers first.”
“The Accord,” the document went on to say,“was negotiated poorly by the ObamaAdministration and signed out of desperation.”
“The U.S. is already leading the world inenergy production and doesn’t need a bad dealthat will harm American workers,” it read.
The White House had signaled earlier inthe week that withdrawal was likely, butTrump has been known to change his mindat the last minute on such major decisions.
White House aides were divided on thetopic and had been deliberating on “caveatsin the language” as late as Wednesday, oneofficial said.
Associated Press writers Ken Thomas, EricaWerner, Vivian Salama, Michael Biesecker andSeth Borenstein in Washington contributed tothis report.

demeanor of the enormity of the crimesMorgan faces. He’s accused of the attemptedmurder of two Santa Monica neighbors –both alleged victims are still recovering inthe hospital. He’s facing three counts of first-degree residential robbery, assault with adeadly weapon – a hammer – and first-degree burglary among others. After hoursof waiting to see the judge, Morgan’sarraignment was postponed until Tuesday togive his public defender more time to reviewhis case. This is not the first time Morgan hasbeen through the system – in 2012 he wasconvicted of assault with a firearm.
Police say fingerprints link Morgan and asecond suspect – a 17-year-old who has notbeen identified because he is a juvenile - totwo break-ins in the NOMA neighborhoodthat sent three people to the hospital. Policesay the young men broke into Andrew West’shouse around 3:00 p.m. on 17th Street May15. West was home at the time and ended upin the hospital with serious injuries aftermultiple men attacked him. When officersgot to the home, they say it was ransacked sobadly it was hard to tell at first whether any-thing had been stolen.
Less than ten days later, police believeMorgan and the 17-year-old struck again,
this time allegedly stabbing Imtiaz Tar in hishome on 19th street. Imtiaz’s wife and sonwere also home at the time and tried tointervene, according to details outlined inthe District Attorney’s Criminal Complaint.The DA alleges Morgan attacked the Tarfamily’s housekeeper, Dinah Barrera, with ahammer. She also was sent to the hospitalbut has since been released.
The 17-year-old suspect was arraignedThursday In Inglewood Juvenile Court oncharges of attempted murder, assault with adeadly weapon, robbery and mayhem,according to the DA’s office. Police say hewas running away from the Tar’s home whenthe first officers arrived on the scene. Thesuspect barricaded himself in the rear yardof a nearby home but was eventually arrest-ed with the assistance of a K-9 and SWATofficers.
Morgan was arrested in the alleged getaway car by the El Monte Police Departmentafter officers added the license plate to a lawenforcement database. The two men hadtaken some cash and a cell phone from thehouse, according to Lt. Saul Rodriguez withthe SMPD. Police do not have any evidencethe victims and the suspects knew each other.
No bail has been set in Morgan’s case, butthe DA is recommending the judge set it at$1.32 million when he is arraigned next week.

BY JULIE WATSONAssociated Press
At least 504 terminally ill Californianshave requested a prescription for life-endingdrugs since a state law allowing doctor-assisted deaths went into effect in June 2016,marking the first publicly released data onhow the practice is playing out in thenation’s most populous state.
The number released Thursday representsonly those who have contacted Compassion &Choices, an advocacy group that providesinformation on the process. The organizationbelieves the overall figure to be much higher.State officials have not released data yet.
How the new law is used in Californiacould provide a window into what wouldhappen if the practice spreads nationwide.Some see providing the choice to the dying asa logical evolution in a medical care systemadvanced in helping people live longer butlimited in preventing slow, painful deaths.
Critics say they are concerned that theoption will lead to hasty decisions, misdiagnosisand waning support for palliative care, in whichdying people can be sedated to relieve suffering.
Betsy Davis was among the firstCalifornians to use the law. The 41-year-oldartist with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, held aparty to say goodbye to her family and friendsbefore taking the lethal dose of drugs July 24.
Her sister, Kelly Davis, said the family hasno regrets about her decision.
“It’s only strengthened my belief in thelaw,” Kelly Davis said. “Sometimes I thinkabout where she would have been in the pro-gression of the illness at this point. Wouldshe be on a breathing machine? Would she beable to eat? I think the answer would be yes tothe breathing machine, and no to the eating.
“I think how much it would have brokenmy heart to see her suffering. The fact shehad that option, she embraced that option, itgave her back a sense of control,” Davis said.
Oregon was the first state to adopt such alaw in 1997. It reported 204 people receivedlife-ending prescriptions last year, and ofthose, 133 people died from ingesting thedrugs, including 19 recipients from prioryears. Most were older than 65 and had cancer.
Doctor-assisted deaths are also legal in
Colorado, Montana, Vermont, Washingtonstate and Washington D.C.
Under California’s law, which marks itsanniversary June 9, patients must be givensix months or less to live, make two verbalrequests within 15 days of each other andsubmit a written request.
“We won’t have the full picture until thestate releases its data about how many peo-ple have utilized the law, but we have enoughevidence to show it is working remarkablywell in a state with 10 times Oregon’s popu-lation,” said Matt Whitaker, Compassion &Choices’ California director.
“The personal stories of the people whohave utilized the law show it has provided com-fort and relief from intolerable suffering, just asthe state Legislature intended it to do,” he said.
The group says 498 health care facilities and104 hospice centers in California have adoptedpolicies to allow for such prescriptions.More than80 percent of insurance companies in the statealso cover the cost of the drugs, the group said.
Sherry Minor called the law her 80-year-oldhusband’s “greatest relief.” Retired psychologistJohn Minor took the lethal drugs in Sept. 15 toend his suffering from terminal lung disease.He wrote two weeks before dying that evenmorphine was not enough for the intense pain.
“It was such a miracle the law passed,”said Minor, 79, of Manhattan Beach, outsideLos Angeles. “He was so incredibly lucky inthat way. It was important for us to knowthat he go the way he wanted to go.”
The law passed in California after 29-year-old Brittany Maynard, who was dyingfrom brain cancer, had to move to Oregon in2014 so she could end her life.
Her husband said Maynard would behappy to see others like her don’t have toleave her home state to get relief.
“Like Brittany, these terminally illCalifornians didn’t want to die — but theywere dying — and just wanted the option todie peacefully,” Dan Diaz said in a statement.
The California law is being challenged bythe Life Legal Defense Foundation,American Academy of Medical Ethics andseveral physicians who say determiningwhen someone has six months or less to liveis an arbitrary decision that opens the doorfor abuse. A hearing is scheduled for June 16.

There’s a Venus and Uranus alignment shaping up to indicate a kind of haunting from that person you thinkof on certain sunny days (and some rainy ones); or when you eat certain foods or just smell them; or whenyou pass a particular make of car on the road while driving toward or away from where this person mightbe or has been or will be...
Haunted Alignment of Venus and Uranus
ARIES (March 21-April 19)Once the drama stirs up, you’re sunk. If youdefend yourself too well, you look guilty. If youdon’t, there will be regrets. The best defense isprevention. Don’t let conversations drift intodangerous waters. Stay in control.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Your attention is a treasured gift, but yourneglect is not a terrible insult. It’s just that youcan’t focus on everyone at once. Be careful notto set up expectations you won’t want to or beable to fulfill.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)It’s a good thing you have quick reflexes,because you’ll need them in today’s dicey socialscenario. You might have to backpedal, pullyour proverbial foot out of your mouth, or jumpin to save someone from sure embarrassment.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)Your No. 1-priority task will get done. The restmay not. So put the important stuff first.What’s important? It’s not a trick question. Youknow the answer; it’s just not the same onethat another person wants you to choose.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)The work will be much more pleasant when youhave the right tools for the job. Do research.Getting this one right before you even startwill save you time, money and headaches.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)If you’re too strict with yourself, you will sure-ly rebel. Loosen up. Otherwise you may findyourself craving forbidden fruits (maybe onesyou didn’t even know you liked!) in reaction totrying to be too perfect.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)The rightness of an action makes you brave.You don’t even have to think about it. You divein and do the necessary thing. The time to befrightened is not before or during; it’s after.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)Of course no one is really better than another,but our egos have us flexing as though there’ssomething at stake that can be won with an airof superiority. You’ll really win by going in theopposite direction.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Patience isn’t the most exciting virtue, andthere are many who don’t see its appeal.However, those who have patience can win thewhole game just by avoiding the mistakes thatimpatient people make.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)To complain is to release some tension andperhaps gain the acknowledgement of a per-son who agrees. But this comes at a cost.Maybe the tension is a good thing if it forcesyou to take action instead of complain.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)When a bee becomes incensed, it stings theoffender and then shortly after pays a pricewith his own life. Anger is not usually as costlyan emotion for humans, and yet it’s still a goodidea to de-escalate conflict.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)Just because you’re not in step with the othersdoesn’t mean your timing is off. Awareness iskey here, because you’re really good at adjust-ing to the pace of others when you want to. Thequestion is, “Do you want to?”
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 2)
Your work gets simultaneously more challenging and more creative over the next two months, andby the end of August you’ll have a prize to show for your dedication. Loved ones will have interest-ing propositions in September. You won’t regret what you do, only what you don’t do, so be adven-turous in your choices. Libra and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 44, 42, 30 and 15.
