There’s a lot of junk left lying on theground and aside from the occasional quar-ter, most of it is better left in the gutter thanyour pocket but keen eyed locals can findsome diamonds among the rough thanks toa new interactive art project.

“Santa Monica Rocks”, launched in thebeginning of October. It was created byLynne Clark and Debra Bard, two artistsfrom Ten Women Gallery on 1128Montana Ave in Santa Monica.

Ten Women Gallery originally openedon Main St. in 1994 and later opened aseparate branch in 1995, showcasing orig-inal handmade art from local femaleartists. The project aims to bring the com-munity together through painting andhiding rocks around Santa Monica to befound and hid again.

The original idea came about over thesummer during Clark’s family trip toWinnipeg in Canada.

“My husband’s a local Santa Monicateacher and we go up every summer withour two boys. We started hearing aboutthese rocks in Winnipeg,” said Clark. “Mykids, being boys, it’s hard to get them to goon a hike with me, but when they found outthey might find rocks along the way then thewhole story changed. They spent a good partof the summer not only searching and find-ing rocks, but also painting their own rocks.”

Clark and Bard found that this idea wasnot exclusive to Winnipeg, but was alsobeing practiced

around the world and so they decided tostart it up in Santa Monica. All that isrequired of somebody who wants to join inis that they find a rock, decorate it, find aplace to hide it and post a hint onlinethrough the Facebook page the two created.

The person can then find a rock, replaceit with another and then hide their newly-found rock somewhere else.

Homeowners in high-tax stateslike New Jersey, where a modesthouse within commuting distanceof New York City can easily carryproperty taxes of over $15,000 ayear, are wondering whether theRepublican bill being sold as a taxcut would actually result in higherbills for them.

At issue are provisions thatwould end deductions for state andlocal sales and income taxes andwould cap the property tax deduc-tion at $10,000.

Miriam Brock SMMUSD Assistive Technology Specialist

WHEN MIRIAM BROCK STARTED INSanta Monica Malibu USD 13 year ago, shebegan as a Special Education Kindergartenteacher at McKinley Elementary. She thenmoved onto SAMOHI to provide speech-language services to students, as well as tomanage the Circle of Friends program. She iscurrently the Assistive Technology Specialistfor the Special Education Department andserves the entire district. Overall she hasbeen teaching for 15 years. Prior to enteringthe teaching field, she was a Speech-Language Pathologist and Program Directorfor several in- and outpatient head injuryrehabilitation centers in Seattle.

Brock is passionate about allowing ALLof our students to access the curriculum towhatever extent possible using any form oftechnology possible.

BROCK SPEAKSThere are 2 things I am excited about.

First is allowing our non-verbal students ameans to communicate through the use ofiPads and specialized communication apps.Helping our classroom teachers in integrat-ing language and use of AAC into the every-day curriculum is one of my goals this year.

My second goal relates to our studentswith more mild learning disabilities. Gettingappropriate computer apps and extensions(such as our current program Read&Writefor Google) into all of our special educationand collaborative classes for students toaccess. Read&Write for Google is an awe-some program that provides reading, writ-ing, and study skills supports to students to

access their general education curriculum.I love working with the awesome staff

that I meet at the various school sites. I alsoenjoy working with a student’s family to car-ryover what they are learning in school towhat they use at home. What makes me feelappreciated is when a student tells me howmuch they have benefitted from technologyand how they “only wished they had knownabout it sooner” (those are our high schoolstudents). I have to say that I still get chillswhen one of our nonverbal students gener-ates their first oral words with the use oftheir iPad and Proloquo2Go.

I always hope that my nonverbal studentscontinue to use their augmentative commu-nication systems (iPad) in the communityand at home.

This is a quote that I found and love. “Forpeople without disabilities, technologiesmakes things easier. For people with disabil-ities, technology makes things possible.” -MP Radabaugh.

The largest port complex in the nationhas set goals to drastically reduce air pollu-tion over the next several decades.

The plan approved Thursday at a meetingof the governing boards of the twin ports ofLos Angeles and Long Beach outlines strate-gies for improving equipment and efficiencyto eventually move cargo with zero emissions.

The ports estimate that the cost of theefforts ranges from $7 billion to $14 billion,but the plan does not make clear who willpick up the tab. And detailed plans forimplementing each program will requireapproval by each port’s harbor commission.

“Collaboration will be critical to our suc-cess,” Long Beach Harbor CommissionPresident Lou Anne Bynum said in a state-ment. “Moving the needle to zero requiresall of us — the ports, industry, regulatoryagencies, environmental groups and ourcommunities — to pool our energy, expert-ise and resources.”

The plan has raised concerns that theenormous cost of the clean air goals couldmake the two ports less attractive in the faceof competition from ports on the East andGulf coasts.

The Los Angeles Times reported thatPacific Merchant Shipping AssociationPresident John McLaurin told commission-

ers he fears the cost “and its potential nega-tive impacts on port competitiveness and theone in nine jobs in the Southern Californiaregion that are reliant on the ports.”

The neighboring ports 20 miles south ofdowntown Los Angeles are the single largestfixed source of air pollution in SouthernCalifornia, according to the South Coast AirQuality Management District.

Main points of the plan include clean-engine milestones for trucks, creating incen-tives to speed up fleet turnover to near-zeroand zero-emission trucks, and efficiencyprograms for truck reservations and stagingyards. The timeline for achieving a zero-emission truck fleet is 2035.

Other elements include requiring termi-nal operators to use zero-emission equip-ment by 2020, if possible, or the cleanestavailable equipment.

The plan also pursues electrification ofterminal equipment and expands on-dockrail, with a goal of moving 50 percent of allcargo out of the ports by train.

The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beachsprawl over more than 23 square miles (60square kilometers) of land and water. Theyhandle about 40 percent of U.S. containerimport traffic, about 25 percent of totalexports, and together rank as the ninth-largest port complex in the world, accordingto the ports.

multiple stab wounds to his upper bodyarea. Santa Monica Fire Department arrivedand treated the victim,” said Sergeant RudyFlores. “The victim was then transported toa local hospital and has been listed in stablebut serious condition.”

Flores said officers learned the suspect andvictim were involved in a confrontation priorto the stabbing. The suspect involved imme-diately fled the area prior to police arrival.

“The suspect has been described as aMale/White in his 20’s - 30’s, thin build, longlight brown hair in a bun/ponytail, wearing allblack clothing, and a black backpack,” saidFlores. “Weapon used was an unknown stab-bing instrument. This suspect should be con-sidered armed and dangerous, as the knife orother stabbing instrument is still outstanding.”

The victim took a photo of the suspectthat was circulated to local media outlets.

“We are seeking the public’s assistance inlocating this suspect wanted for attemptmurder,” said Flores. “If the suspect is locat-ed we ask the public to immediately call 9-1-1. Anyone with additional information as tothe identification and whereabouts of thissuspect is encouraged to contact DetectiveLarios (310) 458-8937 or the Santa MonicaPolice Department (310) 458-8491.”

Jen Goldman, who teaches third grade atRoosevelt Elementary heard about the rockproject while visiting the gallery and wantsto get her students involved.

“I have artistic children in my class-room and I think that with other class-rooms participating, they will be engagedand have fun and it’s a community activ-ity which we are working on in ourschool, so it builds community,” saidGoldman.

and their toddler and is expecting a secondchild, said he now has $46,000 in itemizeddeductions — around $19,500 from proper-ty taxes, $7,000 in state income taxes and therest from mortgage interest.

He estimates that losing those deductionswould drive up his federal taxes by $4,000 ayear — enough to call into question whetherthey can continue to afford the $630,000house they bought three years ago.

If not for the mortgage interest deduc-tion, “I would have rented,” he said. “We didthe math, said, ‘Hey, we could afford this. It’sa great school district, quiet neighborhood.We’ll have a bedroom for each child and abedroom for ourselves.’ It’s not an extrava-gant mansion.”

The changes could hit hard in New Jerseyand other high-tax states such as New York,Massachusetts and California. Those areplaces dominated by Democrats. But thededuction changes are giving Republicanmembers of Congress pause, too.

Another major feature of the GOP planbeing considered would nearly double thestandard deduction to $24,000 for marriedcouples. That would simplify taxes for manypeople, while also wiping out the benefits ofitemizing deductions for some.

In Roseville, Minnesota, Craig Stilen andhis wife itemize their tax returns. But in partbecause of the way the GOP proposal giveswith one hand and takes with the other, Stilenhasn’t been able to work out what the tax over-haul could mean for his family financially.

“There are a lot of moving parts that me,as Joe Consumer, is trying to digest,” saidStilen, a 56-year-old who works in informa-

tion technology.Richard Middleton, an accountant in

Cherry Hill, New Jersey, said the phone has-n’t exactly been ringing off the hook withconcerned clients — most of whom arehigher-income.

But one member of his firm redid the2016 taxes for a wealthy client using the pro-posed changes. The change, Middleton said:a bill $116 smaller.

Middleton said the $10,000 cap on prop-erty tax deductions won’t have as big of animpact as it might sound in a state where theaverage bill was $8,300 last year.

That’s because many New Jersey residentsare now subject to the federal alternativeminimum tax. The AMT is intended to keephigh-earners from using lots of deductionsto reduce their tax bills.

The majority of households that earnmore than $200,000 are subject to the AMT,which would go away under the legislation.

Pharmaceutical company scientist SeanKohler and his wife bought a $380,000three-bedroom house in the Philadelphiasuburb of Voohees, New Jersey, a couple ofyears ago with plans to stay for good andhave kids.

They make about $160,000 but are stillpaying off student loans and have an annualproperty tax bill of about $15,000. He saidthat if the GOP plan goes through, their taxhit could run into the thousands, and theymight have to adjust their goals.

“This really changes a lot of things,”Kohler said. “That would be a lot of money Ifeel like we’re going to have to come up within April to make this work.”

Mulvihill reported from Haddon Heights. APreporter Kyle Potter in St. Paul, Minnesota, con-tributed to this story.

By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART

The day after the exciting full moon can feel like a hangover, though a Mercury change will be a revitaliz-ing cosmic tonic. Initially, Mercury boinging through energetic Sagittarius may feel like a pogo stick for theemotions. What goes up must come down — but it’s accompanied by sound and movement so silly it canonly be considered play.

Mercury’s Hangover Cure

ARIES (March 21-April 19)If you fear that you’re bothering someone byreaching out, it’s a sign that this person hasn’tmade you feel comfortable and acceptedenough to relax. Not your fault. Also, probablynot a good match for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Thinking ahead will help you play yourmoments better. A lot of moments won’t evenhappen unless you make a plan. Just don’t getstuck there. You don’t live inside the plan; youlive inside the moment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)You’re a very responsible person. You’ll takecharge of the situation as far as it should betaken charge of, all the while keeping in mindthat some things are better left alone.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)Inspiration will come in the form of people youmay feel competitive with. It’s something you’lllikely keep hidden, and wisely so. Let it burbleup in you to be examined and turned intoimprovement-fuel later.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)You’ll look back and laugh at some of the rulesyou used to give yourself. It’s a good time toask: “Am I doing the same thing now? Is therea rule I’m imposing on myself that is unneces-sarily holding me back?”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)That tough person you admire (but wouldn’texactly want to be exactly) will help you findthe courage to cut out a piece of nonsense andget down to what’s important to you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)Your fantasies are the celluloid that will projectonto the real world like film to the silver screen.Shift what you think about toward a topic thatmakes you feel giddy, warm and inspired.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)Friends are blessings. You wouldn’t take thatfor granted. And yet, you really should be ableto feel free, even a little bit careless aroundthem. Shake off the uptight energy and, hope-fully, they will, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Even though you can tell when someone islying, it’s not always wise to call the person outright away. Going along may give you a strate-gic advantage. You can watch and understandwhat’s really going on today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You may feel a little bit irritable. Do you needmore excitement or less excitement to get backinto the zone? Let intuition speak to you andthen take action (or inaction as the case may be).

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You’re ready to admit, if only to yourself, whatmakes you feel secretly superior. Then you canrelease the belief and let compassion take itsplace. The more equal and connected you feelto others, the easier life will be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)Synchronicity happens so often in your life thatit’s almost de rigueur by now. Nonetheless, itwill be a delight to learn the one you think of isalso thinking of you. You could even show uprandomly at the same place.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 4)

You’ll give your all to projects, so choose them carefully. A brilliant solo mission will end in satis-faction, money and a prize. Once you know what you can handle alone, join a team. In 2018, firstsafety and security will invigorate you; then travel will ignite a new passion. Capricorn andAquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 22, 17 and 9.
