THE NOT VERY MYSTERIOUS ISSUE
Council to consider two significant construction projects

BIGGER GOVERNMENT: The City of Santa Monica wants to build an addition to city hall to house employees that are currently working in rented office space.
BY DAVID MARK SIMPSON
Daily Press Staff Writer
CITY HALL City Hall needs more space for its
employees and, in response, City Council
will consider moving forward with two
major projects on Tuesday.
One of the projects would be a brand new
building, wedged between City Hall and the
public safety building that would alleviate
the need to spend public tax dollars on rented spaces for city employees.
The 50,000-square-foot City Services
Building would cost between $47.5 million
and $56.4 million.
City officials estimate that they will spend
$2 million this fiscal year on rental fees for
43,500 square feet of private office space
housing 200 employees. By 2019, when the
building could be complete, city officials
estimate they’ll be saving $2.5 million annually on rent.
Given that they expect rents to rise at a
rate of 4 percent per year, city officials expect
that they’d break even on the most expensive
of the three building options (the one
they’re recommending) by 2034.
They’re recommending the most expensive
A kindergarten ‘crop failure’ anomaly
BY JEFFREY I. GOODMAN
CITYWIDE Where did all the kindergartners
go?
Just 81 students enrolled in kindergarten
for every 100 graduating seniors in the Santa
Monica-Malibu Unified School District last
year, a trend revealed to the education board
during its meeting Tuesday at district headquarters.
It was one of several potential issues outlined by Dean Waldfogel of DecisionInsite, a
demographics firm that SMMUSD hired to
forecast enrollment in the district for the
next decade.
The projections play a role in staffing
decisions, budgeting and other district policies, including transfer permit allotments.
Although kindergarten figures weigh
heavily in enrollment forecasting, Waldfogel
said district-wide enrollment is expected to
hold relatively steady despite the recent
decline at the kindergarten level.
He said there were unexpected drops in
the numbers of kindergartners living in the
areas served by Franklin, Grant, McKinley,
Rogers and Roosevelt elementary schools.
“In looking at this district, did we project
kindergarten properly? No,” Waldfogel said.
“There was nothing in your historical trends
that would have predicted this crop failure in
kindergarten. With the mathematics of
looking at three years of kindergarten, no
demographer would have projected a loss.
But we didn’t do very well this year on
kindergarten.
“Overall, when you look at the districtwide numbers, usually you’re falling
between moderate and conservative projections. These anomalies do happen, but our
general confidence is that the reality falls
between the two projections.”
Modest residential growth and a oneSEE STUDENTS PAGE 6
option because it comes with a Living Building
Certification (LBC) - more environmentally
sound than the current LEED certifications.
The LBC “would increase operational savings
through Net Zero Energy and Net Zero Water
requirements,” city officials said.
The project is still a long way from
approval. If council picks a direction on
Tuesday, city officials will come back with a
“guaranteed maximum price for design” in
the spring. In 2016, they’d come back for
permission to issue lease revenue bonds and,
if all goes smoothly, construction would
start in 2017.
CITY YARDS
When City Hall took ownership of the
14.7-acre City Yards property on Michigan
Avenue near 24th Street in the 1940s they
never expected it to become such an important space for city operations.
Currently, it houses facilities maintenance, custodial services, street maintenance,
fleet maintenance, traffic operations,
resource recovery and recycling, water and
wastewater operations, hazardous waste storSEE COUNCIL PAGE 6
New law ousts florist from
Farmers Market after 24 years
BY DAVID MARK SIMPSON
MAIN STREET Edward Tomblin couldn’t
bear the thought of the Farmers Market on
the day, earlier this month, when his streak
ended.
“I didn’t go over there because I didn’t
want to throw salt in my wounds,” he said.
Tomblin, who is a part-owner of the
Main Street flower store Fleurs Du Jour, says
for 24 years he never skipped a day at the
Main Street Farmers Market.
“Rain, hail, lightening, we have never
missed a day,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if
New Year’s was on Saturday. We were still
there on Sunday. There could be five vendors
over there and you could always place your
bet that Fleurs Du Jour was going to be

there.”
On Jan. 1, a new state law (Assembly Bill
1871) went into effect, tightening many regulations on sellers at farmers markets certified by the state.
The law — which was sponsored by thenAssembly Member, now State Senator Roger
Dickinson, who did not respond to requests
for comment by press time — is intended to
increase funding for farmers market
enforcement and stop the sale of agriculture
products that aren’t grown by the sellers.
For Tomblin, it meant the end of a 24year run as a Main Street merchant at the
market. He imports his flowers from all over
the world. Tomblin feels that, for several reasons, Fleurs Du Jour should be exempt from

Community College District Board of Trustees for 2015.
Rader succeeds Dr. Susan Aminoff and Jaffe succeeds Rader. This is the second time
Rader is serving as chair, having previously held the post in 2008.
Rader was elected to the Board of Trustees in November 2004.
Currently, Rader is General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at Ovation TV,
America’s only arts cable network in over 50 million cable households. Rader previously spent nine years at MGM where he helped run business affairs and operations
for numerous departments including the $1.2 billion home entertainment division; he
also spent seven years at the leading law firms Mitchell, Silberberg & Knupp and
Morrison & Foerster before joining his own boutique digital media and entertainment
firm as a name partner.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve the best community college in the nation
which provides our students with an innovative education that advances their educational, career and lifelong learning goals,” said Rader. “Our mission extends to enriching the
lives of the Los Angeles community through the Broad Stage and Santa Monica College
Performing Arts Center, public radio station KCRW, the Academy of Entertainment

Reed Park
Input wanted on Reed Park improvements
Community members are invited to participate in redesigning the Reed Park lawn by
dropping by an interactive open house workshop Saturday, Jan. 24, from 10 a.m. to noon.
In this final phase of improvements for Reed Park, the 1-acre lawn will be redesigned to
better connect with the rest of this active park. Public input is needed to ensure that the
northeast section of the park will meet community needs.
Located along Wilshire Blvd between 7th Street and Lincoln Blvd, Reed Park is home
to the historic Miles Memorial Playhouse, tennis courts, basketball courts, playgrounds,
a senior lunch program, and offices for the City’s CREST after school program. The most
recent set of improvements completed in 2012 included the addition of a new playground, a new garden adjacent to Miles Playhouse, new landscaping along Wilshire Blvd
and 7th Street, and general facility updates. The lawn located in the northeast corner at
Lincoln Blvd. and California Ave makes up one fifth of the 5.3-acre park. It is located
north of Miles Playhouse, east of the basketball courts, and across the street from St.
Monica’s Church. The workshop will be held on the lawn.
Reed Park first opened in 1892, making it one of Santa Monica’s oldest parks.
Saturday’s workshop is open to community members of all ages, including children.
The next workshop will be held in March. For more information on this and other park
improvement projects, visit www.santamonicaparks.org, email [email protected], or call

Reed Park
Editor:
A meeting to “enhance” the large grassy area.
Saturday, Jan. 24 from 10 a.m. to noon. And to make it
tie in with the rest of the park.
I have a feeling the city wants to rip out the grass
and make it look like the south side of Miles Playhouse.
Hey, the homeless don’t go there, so maybe they
won’t find the new gravel paths and prickly bushes to
their liking either.
I like that grass plot just the way it is. Except for one
thing - no benches. There are 300+ seniors living right
across the street, but there’s no place for us to sit. It’s
crazy. A park with no benches.
Please come this Saturday and give your views.
We’ve got to save the grass.

world premiere and free entry to 20 museums are on my local cultural radar.
City Garage Theatre is consistent in one
respect only: their productions are always
innovative and nearly all are original works.
This Friday marks the opening of their
latest world premiere, “Timepiece” by
Charles A. Duncombe, directed by company
Artistic Director Frederique Michel. This
compact and comfortable theatre space
located in the western-most building at
Bergamot Arts Station takes a sharply intellectual and highly visual approach to its
exploration of philosophical ideas and the
art of the stage.
In “Timepiece,” Betty thought she had all
the time in the world to in love. Bob wishes
she would love him. Bernice is afraid to go
home, and Burt is just plain angry at everything.
What happens if someone unexpectedly
told you are running out of time and exactly how much you have left? What does it
mean - for her and the others?
Bob wants to help but the rest of them
just argue. Bebe wanders in to announce that
time has no meaning. Billie emerges from a
refrigerator with ideas of her own. Finally,
Superman holds them all hostage, demanding compassion at the point of a gun.
This witty new absurdist comedy by playwright Duncombe helps laugh at our ultimately silly and illogical view of love, life,
and death.
“Timepiece” runs Jan. 23 - March 1 at 8
p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 5 p.m.
on Sundays including special pay-what-youcan tickets at the door. Find out more at
www.citygarage.org or call (310) 453-9939.
SPEAKING OF BERGAMOT
Also at Bergamot, why not make an
evening of it and stop in to see the two new
exhibitions that opened at Santa Monica
Museum of Art this past Saturday?
“Brian Weil, 1979-95: Being in the
World” is the first career retrospective for
this exceptional photographer and the only
West Coast venue for this exhibition. His
work sheds light on insular and otherwise
invisible communities, which he shot during
the 1980s and 1990s. The exhibition features
sixty photographs, prints, and videos.
“Moshe Ninio Rainbow: Rug” is the first
West Coast solo presentation of a distinguished Israeli artist whose body of work-
comprised of drawings, photographs, and
video - offers poignant insights into insistent
universal themes. The exhibition features a
human-size floor hologram of a partly-folded Middle Eastern carpet.
The two shows are on view through April
18. Admission is free, for details call (310)

ISLAMIC ART AT LACMA
While extremists garner headlines, the
long and cultured history of Islamic art is
playing out in the hands of Middle Eastern
contemporary artists.
Los Angeles County Museum of Art has
recently begun acquiring works by Middle
Eastern artists whose work is inspired by the
technique, imagery and ideas represented
throughout their own cultural history.
The first of a two-part program, “Islamic
Art Now: Contemporary Art of the Middle
East” marks the first major installation of
this collection and features 25 works by
some of the most influential Middle Eastern
and artists of the diaspora working today.
They include Shirin Neshat, Mona Hatou,
Youseff Nabil, Hassan Hajjaj and others.
Most of these works have never been shown
before.

reinventing Islamic art but rather repurposing it as a form of personal expression,” said
Linda Komaroff, LACMA’s Curator of
Islamic Art. “The contemporary works share
a similarity with historical Islamic art in
terms of their use of writing in the Arabic
alphabet as a means of both communication
and decoration, as well as their brilliant use
of color and superb balance between design
and form.”

NOW AND ZEN
The Getty Center has a very special lecture planned, titled “Buddhism in the
World,” on Saturday, Jan. 31, at 3 p.m. in the
Museum Lecture Hall at the Getty Center in
Brentwood.
Over the course of more than two millennia, Buddhism developed a canon of sacred
texts that is vast in scope, geographical origin, and linguistic variety. The largest selec-
tion of these scriptures ever to appear in
English has just been published as part of
the Norton Anthology of World Religions.
Jack Miles, editor in chief of the Norton
volumes, and Donald Lopez, editor of the
section on Buddhism, will offer their reflections on how and why Buddhism developed
into a religion of global scope and significance.
This free event complements the Getty’s
ongoing engagement with the artistic legacy
of Buddhist and Buddhist-inspired works,
such as those found in the Museum’s photographs collection, the Getty Research
Institute’s archives, and the Getty
Conservation Institute’s wall painting conservation project at the Mogao Grottoes in
China.
You need to make reservations for this
one-off event; find out more at
www.getty.edu.

the beautiful and vivacious Julianne Moore
deteriorate, disintegrate and disappear right
before our eyes.
A celebrated linguistics professor at
Columbia University, Moore’s character
prides herself on being articulate, innovative
and well respected by her colleagues. Her life
is built around her love of words. But at the
age of 50 she is suddenly and unexpectedly
assaulted by a rare form of early-onset
Alzheimer’s disease.
Richard
Glatzer
and
Wash
Westmoreland, who wrote and directed the
film from a novel by Lisa Genova, handle the
accelerated pace of the disease with delicacy
and sensitivity, but even so, it is a heartbreaking experience to watch.
Bolstered by the tender support of her
husband, Alec Baldwin, and her three grown
children, Kristen Stewart, Kate Bosworth,
and Hunter Parrish, Moore struggles with
her fears, her frustration, and her desire not
to burden her family. But of course the
inherent family disagreements become exaggerated as she attempts to guide her family
in directions that she believes will be beneficial to them.
For example, she continues to badger her
daughter Lydia (Stewart), an actress, to go to
college to acquire “a skill that she can fall
back on” if her acting career doesn’t work
out. Lydia, who is in love with her chosen
profession, sees Moore’s beseeching as a sign
that her mother doesn’t believe in her ability
to make a successful life in the theater and,
full of resentment, she leaves New York for
Hollywood.
Meanwhile, Moore’s mental deterioration
has become apparent to her students and, in
their evaluation of her teaching skills, many
deliver a devastating critique. Shocked that
they are aware of her deteriorating condition, she accepts the inevitable and eventually allows herself to be dismissed from the
university.
Although the film treats her symptoms
gently, she exhibits many that those who care
for Alzheimer’s patients will recognize. She
periodically becomes hostile, and she asks
the same questions again and again just
minutes after she has received the answer.
In the end, this vibrant woman has
become the ghost of her former self. She can
barely talk and she is nearly unrecognizable
physically. And so the question subliminally
posed by the film’s title becomes significantly relevant: Is Alice still Alice if she is no
longer present?
“Still Alice” is playing in a few select theaters in Los Angeles in time to be considered
for the Oscars which. And despite an exceptionally strong group of contenders, Moore
deserves to win.
The film will open wide in a few weeks.

age, and a Fire Department training area.
“City Yards operates seven days a week
and currently houses more functions and
employees than it was designed to accommodate,” city officials said in a report to
council.
Since 1996, council has been trying to
find a way to address the space issue.
On Tuesday, council will consider moving forward with a 15-phase plan that, when
all is said and done, could cost over $115
million.
Early phases would include clearing the
site, demolishing three building and constructing three new ones. Temporary buildings would be constructed to house the ousted workers. A new fuel island, canopy, and

month change in eligibility rules will likely
prevent a prolonged decline in kindergarten
enrollment, Waldfogel said.
Board member Maria Leon-Vazquez
wanted to know if there are data on where
the “disappearing” students actually went,
but Waldfogel noted that these were counts
of kids in residential areas and not of actual
school populations.
Meanwhile, enrollment is expected to grow
at Juan Cabrillo, McKinley and Roosevelt elementary schools and at John Adams and
Lincoln middle schools over the next five
years, according to DecisionInsite models.
Waldfogel said the forecasts could lead
the district to consider closing enrollment to
students from outside those schools’ areas or
adjusting the sites’ attendance boundaries.
“There are certain areas of the district that
may be growing faster than others,” he said.
Board member Richard TahvildaranJesswein wondered aloud how enrollment
projections would be affected if the district
split into separate Santa Monica and Malibu
entities. Waldfogel said the forecast would
fuel farm would be built.
Later phases would include the construction of half a dozen new buildings and a
350-car parking garage. Notably, city officials said in a report to council that the
garage could accommodate shared parking
during off-peak hours (weekends and
evenings) for visitors to the Bergamot
Station Art Center.
As City Hall considers redevelopment of
the nationally-renowned art center, gallerists
and residents have expressed concern that
there won’t be enough parking spaces onsite.
The City Yards project, too, is still a long
way out. If all goes as planned, council will
give final authorization for early phases of
the project next year and construction could
begin in 2017.

not change dramatically but added his firm
could further examine the possibility.
The enrollment projections preceded a
discussion of intradistrict and interdistrict
transfer policies, although the board did not
take any action Tuesday.
There is a significant number of students
joining the district well beyond kindergarten, Waldfogel said. About 120 ninthgrade students at Samohi last year, for example, were not enrolled in SMMUSD schools
the previous year.
Out-of-district enrollment is at 13.5 percent.
Forecasts show that Santa Monica’s population is expected to increase over the next
few years but that the number of families
with school-age children is not growing as
quickly.
Those projections led board member
Craig Foster to pose a broad philosophical
question about future district strategies for
fundraising and community outreach.
“If the population is growing but the
school-age population is stagnating,” he
said, “how do we continue to make ourselves
relevant to the rest of the population?”

the new law.
For one thing, he said, people aren’t eating his flowers — a distinction that makes
him different from other agricultural vendors.
Additionally, the bill aims to increase
transparency among market vendors — a
goal that Tomblin understands. Vendors are
now required to post signs that say “We
Grow What We Sell” and submit proof that
their product was grown locally.
“We’ve always been Main Street merchants selling flowers,” Tomblin said. “We’ve
never been a grower. We’ve never pretended
to be a grower. Transparency, for us, has
never been an issue.”
Finally, some of his most popular products are not from Southern California.
“It’s things that you can’t grow here that
people really want,” Tomblin said. “Lots of
people came here from the East Coast or the
Midwest and they grew up with lilacs and
peonies and it makes them think of home.
Well, we can’t grow those things here
because we don’t have four seasons and you
need a freeze for them to go dormant and
then to come back.”
As a result of the ousting, Tomblin said
that Fleurs Du Jour lost 90 percent of its
Sunday business. Flowers, he said, are often
impulse buys. The Main Street shop stays
open on Sunday to service the hotels and
regular customers but most of the sales were
coming from passers-by.
Farmers Market Coordinator Jodi Low
said that, as far as she knows, because it’s a
state law it’s out of the market’s purview.
She cautioned against judging the law
based on this one issue. Low said the law is
bringing much-needed transparency to
markets across the state.

“I think one of the questions people need
to be asking is: What is the point of a farmers’ market?” Low said. “And I’m not answering that question but I think it’s an important one for consumers to ask. What is the
value, for them, of a florist who can buy
flowers from all around the world yearround? And if your value is: It doesn’t matter, I just want my flowers, then you probably like that. But, if your value is: I want to
support California farmers and flowers
grown on local farmland then you’re probably OK with the outcome.”
Malin Svensson said she’s been coming by
the Main Street Farmers Market for more
than 15 years to pick out roses.
“I’m just devastated that it’s not there
anymore,” she said. “It’s not the same. My
Sundays are not the same, going there to the
Farmers Market to do my little ritual there:
picking up the flowers.”
Pam Cysner, of Santa Monica, doesn’t
understand why Tomblin is getting pushed
out given that there are clothing retailers at
the market. She thinks florists should be categorized with clothes and jewelry, rather
than with produce.
“A lot of people miss it,” she said. “The
Farmers Market has been nice enough to tell
people he’s not there and that his shop is
open but there’s a big gap right where his
stall is. Nobody’s there.”
Tomblin is hoping to be granted an
exception because he’s been there so long.
He’s reached out to two City Council members (he couldn’t recall which ones), though
it may be out of their hands given that it’s a
state law.
Gary Gordon, the executive director of
the Main Street Business Improvement
Association, is going to bat for Fleurs Du
Jour, trying to find someone who will grant
an exception.

Sudoku
Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row,
column, and 3x3 block. Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle. The difficulty level
ranges from (easiest) to (hardest).
GETTING STARTED
There are many strategies to
solving Sudoku. One way to begin
is to examine each 3x3 grid and
figure out which numbers are
missing. Then, based on the other
numbers in the row and column of
each blank cell, find which of the
missing numbers will work.
Eliminating numbers will eventually
lead you to the answer.

■ Un-Government: About 240 of
the 351 police departments in
Massachusetts claim their SWAT and
other specialty operations are not
“government” services, but rather
not-for-profit corporate activities
and are thus entitled to avoid certain government obligations. Even
though their officers have the
power to carry weapons, arrest
people and break down doors during
raids, these “law enforcement
councils” refuse to comply with
government open-records laws for
civilian monitoring of SWAT activities. The latest refusal, by the 58
police agencies of the North
Eastern Massachusetts Law
Enforcement Council, was filed in
