SMMUSD HDQTRS The Santa Monica- Malibu Education Foundation will have to reorganize itself from the top down if it expects to raise enough money to pay for programs at all of the district’s schools. That was the message that a professional consultant and parents who have been working on the topic for the last six months delivered to the Board of Education at its meeting Thursday. It came during an update on districtwide fundraising, a controversial policy that the board passed in November 2011 that radi- cally altered the way parents could donate money to public schools. Rather than pay the salaries of teaching assistants or supporting arts or sciences programs at specific school sites, the districtwide fundraising model restricts parents to buying “stuff,” while entrusting the Education Foundation with raising enough money to pay for staff for programs throughout the district. The policy is meant to impose some equity on a district that historically saw huge amounts of parent dollars flooding into some schools, while others languished in per pupil parent spending and the amenities it provided. But if that’s going to work, the Education Foundation is going to need a lot more than Paul Alvarez Jr. [email protected] a three-member staff, tiny office space and a WORTH EVERY PENNY: The Samohi Marching Band performs during halftime of a football game earlier this school year. few fundraising events a year, said Paul Lanning, a consultant with RPR Fundraising, LLP.

CATS GAME A number of residents and animal rights advocates have been critical of the shooting and killing of a mountain lion that wandered into Downtown a couple of weeks ago.

This past week, Q-line asked: Do you think the police did the right thing when dealing with the big cat or should they review their policies for the future?

Here are your responses: PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY

David Kennedy, assistant administrator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Ocean Service, told a U.S. Senate panel last month that in most cases debris removal decisions will fall to individual states. Funding hasn’t been determined. U.S. Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, and other West Coast political leaders, have called that scenario unacceptable, saying tsunami debris poses a pending national emergency. “If this was a one-time event all at once, we’d declare it an emergency and we’d be on the ground like that,” he said, during the hearing he led. One astonishing example of how the unexpected can suddenly appear occurred Wednesday in Oregon when a concrete and metal dock that measured 66 feet long, seven feet tall and 19 feet wide, washed ashore a mile north of Newport. A Japanese consulate official in Portland confirmed that the dock came from the northern Japanese city of Misawa, cut loose in the tsunami of March 11, 2011. “I think that the dock is a forerunner of all the heavier stuff that’s coming later, and amongst that heavier stuff are going to be a lot of drums full of chemicals that we won’t be able to identify,” Pallister said. His group, Gulf of Alaska Keeper, works in the same region devastated by the Exxon Valdez oil spill, which dumped 11 million gallons of oil into Prince William Sound in 1989. Tsunami debris is tough to monitor. Winds and ocean cur- rents regularly change, while rubbish can break up. Some trash, like fishing gear, kerosene and gas containers and building sup- plies, can be tied to the tsunami only anecdotally. But in other cases — a soccer ball and a derelict fishing boat in Alaska and a motorcycle in British Columbia, for example — items have been traced back to the disaster through their owners. NOAA projects the debris having spread over an area rough- ly three times the size of the contiguous United States, but can’t pinpoint when or how much might eventually reach the coasts of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii. An independent group of scientists and environmental activists are scheduled to sail aboard the “Sea Dragon” from Japan Saturday to an area north of the Hawaiian islands, with plans to zigzag through the debris, document what’s floating and try to determine what might reach the West Coast. “You have a unique experiment,” said Marcus Eriksen, a researcher at the Algalita Marine Research Institute in Long Beach, Calif., who is leading the expedition. “You have entire homes and all their contents ... anything you may find in a Japanese home could be floating in the ocean still intact.” Seattle-based oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer, who has been tracking ocean trash for 20 years, predicts the main mass of tsunami debris will reach the U.S. coast from Northern California to southeast Alaska as early as October, with the beginning of fall storms. Cleanup plans should be finalized no later than September, Ebbesmeyer cautioned. There may also be sensitive issues to be decided, he said, including how to deal with any human remains or personal mementos. But just who will clean up the debris and who will pay for it hasn’t been fully determined. Begich wants to make at least $45 million available for local community groups to conduct clean-up efforts. Gulf of Alaska Keeper believes Congress should set aside $50 million a year for four years. As it stands now, NOAA has $618,000 allocated to clean up tsunami debris. The agency’s total marine debris program budget could drop by 26 percent to $3.4 million, under President Obama’s proposed budget. Marine trash isn’t a new problem.

Previously, the aid effort has only again, you don’t have that culprit to go after — a bad guy. It’s treatments and payments as long as they and their doctors make covered people with mostly less-serious ailments, including kind of a tough one to deal with.” a plausible case that the disease was connected to the caustic dust. asthma, acid reflux disease and chronic sinus irritation. The decision on whether to add cancer to that list is a difficult one, and there are still substantial questions about how the program will function. While stories about first responders struck by cancer are common, there is still little scientific evidence of elevated cancer rates connected to either the trade center dust or other toxins at the ground zero recovery site. Cancer experts also say that it usually takes many years for an environmental exposure to lead to a cancer case, due to the slow, undetectable development of many types of the disease. That means that many of the people falling ill with cancer now, or in the past 10 years, are unlikely to have got- ten it as a result of the attacks. Questions about whether the dust truly caused cancer was one of the reasons why Congress did not include it in the initial list of covered illnesses. But some occupational health experts have expressed concern about the presence of carcinogens in the ash and soot, and the advisory panel said it believed there were enough toxins to create a risk. NIOSH director Dr. John Howard said in a statement that the agency had embraced all of the recommendations of the advisory panel, which had urged inclusion of a majority of the most common forms of cancer. “We recognize how personal the issue of cancer and all of the health conditions related to the World Trade Center tragedy are to 9/11 responders, survivors and their loved ones,” Howard said. The expansion proposal isn’t final yet. The rule will be open for public comment for several weeks, or up to two months, before being finalized. It will still be open to revi- sions, or even outright abandonment, during that time. U.S. Reps. Carolyn Maloney, Jerrold Nadler and Peter King, three New York lawmakers who helped create the law creating the health program, then lobbied hard for its expansion, said in a joint statement that they were “thrilled,” and confident the change would go through as planned. “As we have all seen with our own eyes again and again, cancer incidence among responders and survivors is a tragic fact, and we must continue to do everything we can to provide the help that those who are sick need and deserve,” they said. There has been some concern that adding cancer to the list of covered conditions could put a severe financial strain on the program’s limited resources. Congress capped funding for the program at $1.55 billion for treatment and $2.78 billion for compensation payments. Those amounts will remain unchanged even if many people file for benefits. Some 60,000 people have already enrolled in 9/11 health programs for those who lived or worked within the disaster zone. Up to 25,000 more could still join before the program closes. Even before the proposal to add cancer, it is unclear whether the amount of money allocated would be enough to cover the compensation claims. Sheila Birnbaum, the special master over- seeing applications for compensation, has said she might have to prorate payments based on the number of people who apply. Backers of the program are already talking about getting more funding, and also extending the program, which is set to expire in 4 1/2 years. “Next, we need to start working to extend the Victims Compensation Fund past its current end point in 2016 in order to ensure that responders and survivors who develop these cancers after that will be able to receive compensation,” said the joint statement by Maloney, Nadler and King. Noah Kushlefsky, an attorney who represents about 3,800 people who plan to enroll in the program, said he was confident Congress will eventually extend the program. “This is a huge victory on many levels. This gives them much needed health care. It gives them much needed financial assistance ... I think that it means a lot emotionally as well,” he said. “These folks needed to know that everybody recognized what they did, and what they are going through.” ADVERTISEMENT WEEKEND EDITION, JUNE 9-10, 2012 13 DIVORCE/CUSTODY SOLUTIONS Food 14 WEEKEND EDITION, JUNE 9-10, 2012 We have you covered Law Offices of Matthew Rich Tour De Feast Certified Family Law Specialist Michael Ryan Send comments to [email protected] Free Consultations Affordable Costs 310-985-5556 http://www.matthewrichlaw.com 100 WILSHIRE BLVD.SUITE 950 SANTA MONICA, CA. 90401
