Therefore, I am using this plat- form to address some issues that have come to my attention. Since the cost for out-of-town memberships to our Senior Center went up in January 2020, there have been a few miscon- ceptions that have come to my attention. First and foremost, the one rumor that I would definitely like to address is the story going around that the Prospect Town Council raised the dues of our out-of-town members because they are trying to “get rid” of the non-residents that come here. The story goes that the Town Council is trying to keep our Senior Center strictly for Prospect residents only. Nothing could be further from the truth. I value the out-of-town members who come here. I feel they have contributed significantly to the growth of our Senior Center. Many of these members run programs here and volun- teer in a number of different capacities. They are my lifeline and help me in ways that I could never repay them for. I and the Town Council members would never want to “get rid” of them. I will tell you point blank why the Town Council decided to raise membership dues for out- of-town members.

BOX 2, VENICE, CALIF 90294 • www.freevenice.org • [email protected] • 396-0811/399-8685 VENICE CAR WASH WORKERS TAKE ACTION TO WIN MONTHS OF BACK PAY By Jim Smith After six months of having their paychecks bounce, workers at a Venice car wash had had enough. On July 24, the 40 workers staged a walkout and picket line in front of the misnamed Marina Car Wash (it’s in Venice, not the Marina, at Venice Blvd. and Lincoln Blvd. A short time later, the owners coughed up the back pay. In the mean time, they had been living on tips and occasional payments out of petty cash. It was unclear at press time if all of the workers had been paid in full, or if some would be paid next Aug. 4. Other questions remain about the payment of social security and federal taxes. The car wash management refused to offer proof to the Beachhead to substantiate its claim that the workers had been fully paid. The workers estimate they wash 500 cars a day for a mini- mum of $10 each. Why weren’t the workers paid? The answer to that question is likely known only to Monowara Sikder, whose Sikder Holdings, Inc. is the legal owner of the facili- ty.
