Finally, Los Angeles and Parishave their Olympic hosting destinyin their own hands.

If they can agree who goes first,each city will be awarded either the2024 or 2028 Summer Games inSeptember.

International OlympicCommittee members voted unani-mously on Tuesday to seek a con-sensus three-way deal between thetwo bid cities and the IOC executiveboard. Talks will open with Pariswidely seen as the favorite for 2024.

If a deal falls through, only the2024 hosting rights will be votedon when the IOC next meets, on

Sept. 13 in Lima, Peru.However, an agreement seemed

assured, judging by the reaction ofthe two mayors.

“I have full confidence that wewill get there,” LA Mayor EricGarcetti said at a celebratory newsconference for both candidates and

The City Council has accepted a$10 million payment to conclude alongstanding settlement betweenthe city and the former owners ofthe Paper Mate factory.

Proctor & Gamble had beenmaking annual payments and hadup to 22 years to pay off the entiresum but chose to make a single pay-ment this year to conclude the case.

The company was on the hookfor the payments following a seriesof mergers related to the property

at 1681 26th St. that housed a penfactory for several years.

Gillette Co. purchased PaperMate in 1995 and opened the manu-facturing facility in 1997. Proctor &Gamble bought out Gillette in 2005

Tom Beaulieu has adopted twochildren from non-profit organiza-tion Kidsave and the Ocean Parkresident is hoping to convinceother locals to provide a family tochildren in need.

Every year Kidsave puts on theirannual Summer Miracle Program.The hosting program allows fami-lies to experience and engage withfoster children from Columbiawho are searching for a family.

Kidsave said their missionensures that no orphan or fosterchild is forgotten and that everychild grows up in a family.According to their website, therehave been 5,549 children that havebeen hosted for family visits andhave been matched with families.

Beaulieu said, “This program

has enriched my life so much.”The program gives families to

older orphans ages 11 to 14 whohave a slim chance of being adopt-ed in their own country.

The children travel fromColumbia and stay in the UnitedStates for four weeks, attend daycamps, and social weekend events.The children are currently oneweek into their program and aresearching for permanent families.

Beaulieu and partner LoriBrown decided to be a host familyin 2009 and since then they haven’tlooked back.

In 2009 the two hosted 11-yearold boy Santiago. All three agreedit was the best summer ever, whichlead Beaulieu and Brown to go toColumbia and pick up Santiago toofficially adopt him. Santiago

Timber and brush parched from a years-long dry spell and thick grass that grew afterdrought-busting winter downpours aremaking for early and unpredictable wildfirebehavior that California officials haven’tseen for years, if at all.

Dense layers of new grass are providing a“fine fuel” for flames that then gain speed andintensity by moving through “standing deadfuel” made up of vegetation and trees thatshriveled during the state’s six-year drought,said Kathleen Schori with the CaliforniaDepartment of Forestry and Fire Protection.

“It’s difficult to remember a year quitelike this one,” she said Tuesday. “There’s sucha mix of fuels that these large damaging firesare starting at least a month earlier thanusual.” The result, she said, could be a longerand more destructive fire season thanCalifornia has experienced in a while.

Crews were making progress againstdozens of wildfires across California,Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.

Authorities surveying the damage from ablaze in Northern California said Tuesdaythat at least 36 homes and 37 other buildingshad been destroyed near the town ofOroville, about 150 miles (241 kilometers)northeast of San Francisco.

Residents had started to return home afterfleeing a wildfire in the grassy foothills of theSierra Nevada, about 60 miles (97 kilometers)north of Sacramento, but at least 4,000 were stillevacuated. The blaze burned nearly 9 squaremiles (23 square kilometers) and injured fourfirefighters. It was partially contained.

Schori said this year’s conditions weresimilar to California’s 1979 wildfire season,which came on the heels of a two-year dryspell and saw blazes blackening a total of 386square miles (999 square kilometers) ofgrass, brush and timber and caused more

than $30 million in damage. However, thatyear’s major fires didn’t kick off until wellinto August, she said, as did the destructive1992 blazes that followed a drought thatstarted five years earlier.

Major downpours last winter pulled thestate out of years of drought but alsobrought a layer of grass that early-summerfires are greedily feeding on.

“That creates faster moving fires, hotterfires, it carries fire much more readily,” saidSanta Barbara County fire Capt. DaveZaniboni, whose department was battlingtwo large wildfires.

Older, dried out trees and vegetation areespecially dangerous for wildland blazes, butenough new and drying grass can providelinks between such tinderboxes.

With the dense grass as the “carrier,” thefirefight becomes much more challengingbecause “you have to make sure the water isgetting all the way down to the smolderingareas below,” Schori said. “It takes a lot moreeffort to extinguish grass fires.”

In Southern California’s Santa BarbaraCounty, at least 3,500 people remained outof their homes due to a pair of fires. Thelarger of the two charred more than 45square miles (116 square kilometers) of drybrush and has burned 20 structures since itbroke out. It was 45 percent contained. Tothe south a 17-square-mile (44-square-kilo-meter) wildfire that destroyed 20 structuresis 25 percent contained. Crews were getting abreak from rising humidity and light winds.

In Colorado, crews were winding downthe fight against a wildfire that temporarilyforced the evacuation of hundreds of peoplenear the resort town of Breckenridge.Firefighters built containment lines aroundat least 85 percent of the blaze.

An overheated, seriously dehydrated hikerwas in distress and help was on the way untilrescuers ran into two men armed with rifles.

The gunmen took radios from the KernCounty search and rescue volunteers andsent them back where they came from, leav-ing the ailing hiker stranded for several morethirsty hours Saturday.

A section of the Pacific Crest Trail run-ning from Mexico to Canada was closed asSWAT team members joined deputies tosearch for the robbers.

The trail reopened late Monday. It was-n’t immediately known if the suspects hadbeen found.

It’s extremely rare for rescuers to beassaulted, but it’s not unheard of. Last year, avolunteer rescuer searching for a missinghiker was shot and wounded near the SouthYuba River in Northern California.

The incident Saturday in the remotePiute Mountains about 85 miles (137 kilo-meters) north of Los Angeles occurred afterhiker Charles Brandenburg became dehy-drated in scorching heat and activated a res-cue device that allowed him to send textmessages to authorities.

Hikers trying to complete the 2,650-mile(4,265-kilometer) trail have encounteredseveral challenges from an exceptionally wetwinter that left a persistent snowpack andhas made for arduous plodding and present-ed several hazards. Several hikers have beeninjured, and others have reported close callsscaling icy passes and fording raging rivers.

Brandenburg had left the trail for threeweeks in June so the snowpack would meltmore before he arrived in the rugged highSierra Nevada. However, the delay meant hewas hiking through extreme desert heat in

the past week and with diminishing optionsfor water along the way.

“I needed water really bad,” Brandenburgsaid.“I undercut it. It was a mistake on my part.”

After hiking through heat as high as 110degrees (43 Celsius), he became extremelydehydrated Friday and began dry heavingand cramping.

He awoke at 4 a.m. Saturday to beat theheat, but only had about a cup of water leftand was nine miles short of his next waterstop. He only got a few miles before he calledfor help.

Four volunteers with the Kern CountySearch and Rescue team set out on foot tobring Brandenburg water and became sepa-rated, Sgt. Zack Bittle said. One pair turneddown the wrong trail, where they encoun-tered the robbers who stole their radios.

The rescuers were unharmed, but theywere followed by the gunmen as they hikedback toward the Pacific Crest Trail, Bittlesaid. Eventually, the two men ran off.

While Brandenburg waited for help toarrive, other hikers showed up and gave himsome water and waited with him.

What he expected would take a couplehours turned into about a 12-hour ordeal ashe learned by text message about the rob-bery and was told to stay put until a helicop-ter could airlift him and the others to safety.

Brandenburg, 55, of Mendocino, said oneman hid in the sparse forest while they wait-ed for help. But he and two others weren’tsure how seriously to take the warning untilthe helicopter arrived and lowered a SWATofficer in camouflage to the ground.

“Then we knew it was real,” he said. “Itwas really a trip. It was like a movie.”

Brandenburg decided to move to higherground, hoping to hitch a ride to KennedyMeadows in the Southern Sierra to resumehis trek in cooler temps.

“GOOD MORNING, THIS IS 2015Properties in Santa Monica. How may I helpyou?”

“Good morning, sir. My name is EllieRamirez and I’m calling about the one bed-room apartment in Sunset Park that’s adver-tised on Craigslist.”

“You’re in luck, Ellie. It’s still available andI’m the manager, Craig Perry. “The rent is$1,900 a month,” Craig adds. “When we runyour credit report, will we see that you canafford that?”

“Oh, yes,” replies Ellie. “I work part-timeand just got a Section 8 housing voucher soI can afford up to—”

“Sorry,” Craig interrupts, “but we don’taccept Section 8. Good luck.”

The line goes dead.Ellie stares at her phone. She is a 37-

year-old Santa Monica native who nearlybecame homeless after a layoff in 2014. Sheand her eight-year-old daughter have spentthe last few months in transitional hous-ing. After two years on the waiting list forthe City of Santa Monica’s HousingVoucher Program (also known as “Section8”), she has finally obtained the voucherthat aids low-income families in finding adecent place to live. Once a family isapproved, it pays 30 to 40 percent of itsannual income toward rent; the vouchercovers the rest of the rent.

Ellie has already endured some toughmonths, but this phone call unnerves her.She expected scrutiny in her apartmentsearch – but not blanket policies againstSection 8. She wonders, What if no oneaccepts my voucher?

The good news for Ellie is that manySanta Monica landlords already acceptSection 8. The subsidy program presents aproverbial win-win-win situation: The ten-ant gets safe, decent housing; the landlordgets steady income and tenant-relations help

from the City; and the City makes a dent inits affordable housing crisis while freeing uptransitional housing resources for the nexthomeless person.

By 2015, however, in the midst of a deep-ening affordable housing crisis, many locallandlords had adopted blanket discrimina-tion policies against Section 8, even thoughtheir rents were at or below the Section 8payment standard. The impact on low-income residents like Ellie was severe: theywere spending time and money applying forsuch apartments, only to get turned awaybecause of the voucher.

So in May of 2015, the Santa MonicaCity Council added “source of income” tothe City’s list of tenant characteristics(such as disability and family status) thatare protected from discrimination. (Race,religion and other classes are already pro-tected by state and federal fair housinglaws.) Adding “source of income” to thatlist now prevents landlords from refusingto rent to a person based on government-sponsored assistance like Section 8. Itdoes not require landlords to reducerents. The new law recently survived acourt challenge.

Craig Perry’s 2015 Properties needs tostep into 2017 and revise its policy. If youhave questions about Santa Monica’s anti-discrimination laws, or have informationabout possible violations, call the CityAttorney’s Office at (310) 458-8336.

leaving them responsible for clean-up efforts atthe site after chemicals leached into the groundcontaminating the nearby water supply.

Alan Seltzer with the City Attorney’soffice said after the threat of litigation, thecompany entered into the settlement tofacilitate cleanup. Seltzer credited InterimCity Attorney Joe Lawrence for negotiatingthe settlement.

“What happened recently was Gilletteoffered to accelerate the payments and payall the amounts due over the next 22 years inone payment this month,” he said. “Soinstead of getting a couple of hundred thou-sand dollars over the next 22 years totalingabout $13 million, the City will get thismonth, $10,400,000 which is the currentvalue of the money over time,” he said.

Seltzer said it was a “pretty good arrange-ment” that will aid the city as it incurs morecosts to treat groundwater.

“Having the money up front allows youto do more rather than the pay as you gofinancing,” he said.

Councilman Kevin McKeown made themotion to accept the payment.

“We took the option of a lump sum nowrather than a stretched-out payment sched-ule for money we were owed for groundwa-

ter remediation,” he said. “This $10 milliongoes into Santa Monica’s separate waterfund, to help us get water independent, soit’s not a windfall — it’s more of a waterfall.”

Santa Monica draws water from severalwells located along Olympic Blvd. and dueto the nearby factory, water from those wellsnow contains what is known as VolatileOrganic Chemicals (VOCs). To removethose contaminants from the water, it’spumped to the City’s Arcadia treatmentfacility at the intersection of Bundy Dr. andTexas Ave. in West Los Angeles.

At the Arcadia facility, water from severalcity sources is mixed and purified to removeVOCs, contaminants from gasoline productsand other sources of pollution. The water isfiltered for heavy metals and sedimentbefore being passed through reverse-osmo-sis (RO) filters that remove minerals like cal-cium and magnesium.

The water’s pH level is adjusted, fluorideis added, it is disinfected and aerated. Thelocal water supply is tested more than 10,000times a year to ensure safety.

A separate settlement with gasoline com-panies provided the city with funds toremove contamination from gasoline prod-ucts and that settlement included the citytaking ownership of property near theArcadia plant near Wilshire and Bundy.

Santiago wasn’t the only one to be adopt-ed by Beaulieu. Recently 15-year-old Johanavisited Santa Monica as Beaulieu and Brownwere once again a host family.

IOC President Thomas Bach.Garcetti and Anne Hidalgo, his friend

and counterpart from Paris, had emerged onstage seconds after the vote, holding hands,to welcome the decision. They were joinedby Bach, who raised an arm of each in ashared gesture of triumph.

The mood looked set to continue overdinner at the IOC’s favored five-star hotel,the Lausanne Palace.

The Franco-American alliance continueslater this week. U.S. President DonaldTrump is due in Paris to join PresidentEmmanuel Macron for Bastille Day onFriday, the national holiday.

Macron was in the Olympic capital cityTuesday to promoting the Parisian cause —in a closed-door session with IOC membersto explain how they would host the 2024Olympics, and a subsequent news conference.

The presidential push was judged neces-sary by Paris, which has failed with threerecent Olympic bids.

“We lost three times, we don’t want to losea fourth one,” Macron said at the news con-ference. “I’m here to convey the message thatthere’s a strong unity to back this candidacy.”

Minutes after Macron spoke, Trump wroteon Twitter: “Working hard to get theOlympics for the United States (L.A.). Staytuned!”

Even without help from heads of state, LAand Paris are likely to reach a deal. A head-to-head fight for 2024 would create a loserthat is unlikely to return four years later fora new 2028 bid contest.

“Both of us will find it more and more dif-ficult to convince cities — whether it’s Paris,Los Angeles or other American cities — to real-ly go into this process if one of us gets turneddown,” Garcetti had said earlier Tuesday.

A deal to make both cities winners wouldfulfil a strategy that Bach set in motion lastDecember to help safeguard a stable futurefor the signature Olympic event.

Asked when a 2024-2028 agreementcould be sealed, Bach suggested: “If you askme, I hope that in August we could be there.”

The IOC approved the expected doubleaward after hearing both cities present their2024 hosting plans at a conference center inits home city.

Both cities used 45 minutes of videos andspeeches in a closed-door session with IOCmembers to explain how they would hostthe 2024 Olympics.

At separate news conferences, the mayorssaid they could work toward a deal.

“We look forward to working together,maybe not in competition but collaborationwith Paris,” Garcetti said.

Garcetti and Hidalgo have long toutedtheir good relations, and on Tuesday notedtheir cities’ common positions on issues suchas climate change and welcoming refugees.

Hidalgo cited her friendship withGarcetti as potentially a “key element” in theexpected deal.

The dual award can give the IOC a decadeof stability with two world-class cities tout-ing financially secure bids. LA plans to useonly existing venues with zero risk of whiteelephants. This follows years of overspend-ing by Olympic hosts and a series of politicaldefeats that have sunk the campaigns ofpotential candidates.

It also avoids inflicting a third recentdefeat on Paris — which lost with bids forthe 2008 and 2012 Olympics — and theUnited States. New York and Chicago bothlost heavily for 2012 and 2016, respectively.

Those losses deepened a rift between theU.S. Olympic Committee and the Swiss-based IOC that LA 2024 and a new team ofAmerican officials have worked hard to heal.

Paris also failed with a 1992 bid andpinned its hopes on hosting in 2024, exactly100 years after its previous Summer Games.

Garcetti said the Olympic movement“can’t afford to lose the United States.”

The IOC’s most valuable TV rights deal iswith NBC and several of its top-tier spon-sors are American.

Still, a 2028 Olympics in SouthernCalifornia could be the first American-host-ed games since 1996 in Atlanta.

Bach has said the idea of a double awardwas presented to him at a lunch last year byfriends whom he declined to identify in arecent interview with French sports dailyL’Equipe.

The LA bid team declined to commentTuesday whether the suggestion came fromits supporters, as some believe.

“He (Bach) has good friends who gavehim good advice,” LA bid chairman CaseyWasserman said.

Rene Descartes said, “Cogito ergo sum,” or “I think, therefore I am.” If only that were always the case.Alas, in the end, most of us will be judged not for what we thought but for what we did. The Aquarius moon,both mentally bright and philanthropically good, invites us to examine intellect versus character and howthey play out in daily life.

Aquarius Lunar Exam

ARIES (March 21-April 19)Be patient enough to do what it takes to solvea problem once and for all. The first answeryou come up with may not be the best. Godeeper. Ask, “What else? How else?”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)People want to share with you. Show-and-telltime will start out interesting. Brevity is theway to keep it that way. Ward against over-sharing and stick to the safe topics.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)Life won’t provide you with incentives, butyou’re so creative that you can come up withsome pretty awesome ones when you’re at aloss. Keep the momentum up today: Knowwhat you’re looking forward to and envisionthe prize.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)Most children don’t think so, but life really isbetter with fewer sweets, less screen time andmore fresh air. You’ll tap into your grown-upinstincts and feel wonderful for the effort.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Long-term thinking isn’t always so fun, andthinking only of the moment is foolish. There’sa sweet spot in the middle of short- and long-term thinking that will be wonderfully accom-modating to your plans.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Your incredible gift of adaptability will kick intoday. You’ll stretch, flex and grow yourself inorder to meet the new situation. Your lack ofego is what makes this possible.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)Gather information. Get clarity on all commu-nication. You are mighty intuitive now, butyou’ll learn more by asking than by assumingyou already have the answers.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)If you’re constantly standing up for yourselfaround a certain person, it’s a red flag. Don’tignore the signal that a person doesn’t acceptand support you as you are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Start making plans for the upcoming event.It’s a lucky time to free-associate abouthow you want this to go. Gather inspirationand ideas. Talk to the ones who have doneit before.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You’ll listen to different philosophies, some ofwhich will be easier to relate to than others.Your open mind will hold some of this informa-tion for later when it better applies.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Your active mind may also become rest-less tonight. Just remember that sleep isan important part of any mammal’s life.Instead of lying awake with worry, outlinea plan.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)Getting back to basics is a very personalprocess, since what is “basic” to you is noteven in the realm for someone else. Honoryour own essentials regardless of whether theothers understand what you need.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 12)

You have healed yourself and will now assist others in feeling better and functioning at a higherlevel. You’ll spend work hours wisely and be paid well for your efficiency. The financial trend willhelp you to become more comfortable. Improved communication makes new relationships possi-ble. Capricorn and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 30, 9, 28 and 25.
