Who will budge on badges?

City officials have set aside $50,000 to acquire newly-designed badges for the Santa Monica Police Department. The plan has drawn criticism from taxpayer groups who would rather see the money spent on what they claim are more pressing needs.

So this week’s Q-Line question asks:

RIVERSIDE Mother blames abortion procedure for daughter’s death The mother of a woman who died after a Planned Parenthood abortion procedure filed a lawsuit blaming malpractice for her daughter’s toxic shock syndrome death. Aletheia Meloncon filed the Superior Court lawsuit this week, claiming her daughter Edrica Goode, 21, died Feb. 14 because cervical dilators used in advance of second- trimester abortions were left in too long. Goode allegedly went to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Riverside for an abortion on Jan. 31 and a nurse inserted the dilators, which are usually left in overnight before an abortion. The suit said Goode, who didn’t return to the clinic to have the dilators removed, had an infection and the dilators became a conduit, spreading it throughout her body. “My daughter made a choice, but she didn’t choose to die,” Meloncon said. “A lost dog gets more attention than my daughter did. This has really torn at my family.” Planned Parenthood mailed two letters to Goode stating the dilators needed to be taken out, but Meloncon said the family never received the letters. The woman said Planned Parenthood should have been more aggressive in contacting her daughter. ASSOCIATED PRESS LONG BEACH Jenni Rivera’s ex gets 31 years for molestations The ex-husband of singer Jenni Rivera was sentenced to 31 years to life in prison for molesting his daughter and sister-in-law over a decade ago. Trinidad Marin, 43, listened during Wednesday’s sentencing hearing as the two vic- tims, now in their 20s, told the court they had forgiven Marin for the crimes that start- ed when the victims were just 8 years old. “I just would like to tell my father that I love him and I forgive him,” said Jamie Marin, who was abused between the ages of 8 and 12. Rivera’s sister Rosa said she not only lost her innocence at age 8 because of Marin, she lost her trust “in men, herself and the world.” Marin was charged in 1997 but became a fugitive from justice until last year. On May 9, a Superior Court jury convicted him on eight felony counts of lewd acts upon a child, oral copulation of a child, aggravated sexual assault and continuous sexual assault. Three of Jenni Rivera’s children were fathered by Marin. The singer also appeared at Wednesday’s sentencing hearing, telling Superior Court Judge Joan Comparet-Cassani and the bailiff she was sorry for family outbursts during trial. The outbursts resulted in increased security at the trial and sentencing. “We were sometimes a problem,” she said, “because, I guess, because there was so much emotion involved.” She concluded by saying, “I’m glad this is over.” “I’m sure you are,” the judge said. AP LAKE HEMET Bald eagle chick vanishes in San Jacinto Mountains One of two bald eagle chicks in the San Jacinto Mountains has vanished. U.S. Forest Service officials suspect strong winds a few weeks ago knocked down the nest and the eaglet may have been eaten by other animals in the Lake Hemet area 80 miles southeast of Los Angeles. The 12-week-old eaglet, which was too young to fly, hasn’t been seen since early June, said wildlife biologist Anne Poopatanapong of the San Bernardino National Forest’s San Jacinto Ranger District. Poopatanapong said she searched the area but could not find any signs that the eaglet had survived. The chick’s sibling fell out of the nest and broke its right wing earlier this month. It is being cared for at the Coachella Valley Wild Bird Center in Indio and may never be returned to the wild because the wing hasn’t healed properly. Eagles were first spotted in the San Jacinto Mountains in the 1990s. Bald eagles are expected to be removed from federal Endangered Species Act protec- tion later this month. AP VILLA PARK 4-year-old girl found at bottom when kids get out of OC pool A 4-year-old girl slipped unnoticed to the bottom of a backyard swimming pool and drowned during her brother’s 6th birthday party. Aurora Pruitt of Moreno Valley was found on the bottom of the shallow end of the pool Tuesday afternoon when children got out of the pool to eat, said Capt. Stephen Miller of the Orange County Fire Authority. As many as 15 children, ages 3 to 16, had been playing in the pool with four or five adults keeping watch, sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino said. A parent pulled the little girl out of the pool and tried to resuscitate her before two sheriff’s deputies took over until paramedics arrived. The girl was declared dead just after 9 p.m. at Children’s Hospital of Orange County. “This just reiterates that you have to have someone watching the kids in the pool,” Miller said. “You can’t afford to leave them alone for even one second.” AP TELL SANTA MONICA WHAT YOU THINK!

Janric Classic Sudoku Girls and Sports By Justin Borus and Andrew Feinstein 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 Bronze (easiest) to Silver to Gold (hardest).

Difficulty BRONZE

The Meaning of Lila By John Forgetta & L.A. Rose

© 2006 Janric Enterprises Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc. 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.

Sigusch said this objectophilia was another indication of society's increasing "neo-sexuality."
