The first lawsuit, filed in Santa Monica Superior Court, alleges that landlords Cecil McNabb POSITIVE EXISTENCE IS A FULL SERVICE PRINTING and Kathy Golshani tried to disrupt the already-challenging daily routine of a mother taking (425&3><.9-9-*7*84:7(*8948*7;.(*&11 care of her severely developmentally disabled daughter.

The lawsuit claims the owners tried to force the mother and daughter out of their longtime rent-controlled home by stopping them from using the carport to transfer the daughter to the accessible van. The complaint also alleges that the owner caused the tenant’s hot water to be shut off for four days. The mother and daughter have lived in the rent controlled apartment building since 1999. The City’s discrimination law requires landlords to provide to tenants reasonable accommodations based on their disabilities. “Under the fair housing laws, once a tenant gives her landlord medical proof showing that she needs a housing accommodation because of her disability, then the landlord must provide the accommodation,” said Deputy City Attorney Gary Rhoades. Rhoades said it was the third case the office has filed using the discrimination and harassment laws together since January 2015. In the second lawsuit, filed Friday, March 11, the City Attorney alleges that a local land- lord attempted to harass his tenant into vacating her home, by installing video cameras aimed at her apartment. The complaint alleges that the tenant has lived in her rent-con- trolled Santa Monica apartment since 2012. After the landlord’s first requests that she vacate her apartment were spurned, the complaint alleges that the landlord, Cristofer Garvin, and his attorney, Rosario Perry, turned to other tactics which included falsely accusing the tenant of violating the lease, threatening an eviction, and installing two video cameras aimed at her apartment to further harass her. The City’s Tenant Harassment law specifically prohibits a landlord from interfering with the privacy of a tenant. Deputy City Attorney Rhoades said that a tenant’s privacy is destroyed when a landlord turns what are supposed to be security cameras against the tenant. “Tenants often become fearful and anxious over such intrusion,” he said. “They feel spied upon and like they have to duck their head every time they come and go from their own home. Even in the age of sur- veillance, privacy remains very important especially when it comes to our apartments and homes. Legitimate security is one thing, harassment masquerading as security another.” - SUBMITTED BY ADAM RADINSKY, CITY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE

Crime Watch is culled from reports provided by the Santa Monica Police Department. These are arrests only. All parties are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. ON MARCH 10 AT APPROXIMATELY 2 P.M. Officers were dispatched to the 800 block of Ocean Ave. in regards to a guest that was disturbing the business and other guests. Upon arrival, officers made contact with the general manager of the Oceana Beach Club Hotel and she told officers that the subject, later identified as Thomas Henricksson, 51 of Santa Monica, was engaging in threatening behavior and bothering other guests. The manager said she wanted Henricksson to leave the hotel. Officers went to Henricksson’s room and knocked on the door several times announcing it was the Santa Monica Police Department; he did not respond. As officers continued to announce themselves, they saw Henricksson look out of a glass window and Henricksson said he was not leaving. Officers entered by using the hotel key. Henricksson retreated into the rear bedroom and closed the two large doors. As officers continued to try and communicate with him, Henricksson said he was not leaving because he owned the place. Officers decided to form a ruse and said they were leaving. After a few min- utes of waiting, Henricksson exited the room and was arrested. He was arrested for intentional interference with a business establishment and resisting arrest. Bail was set at $10,000.

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.
