The City will pay a $212,500settlement to a former inmate atthe Santa Monica jail who allegesshe was a victim of excessive forceby jailers in 2014.

The incident happened late atnight May 8 when two jailers weretrying to fingerprint Louisa Ketronwhile booking her on domesticbattery charges.

All charges in the case againstKetron were later dismissed.

“Miss Ketron, in the course ofher booking, was hit by one of

the police department employ-ees. She fell and she suffered sig-nificant facial fractures,” actingCity Attorney Joe Lawrence saidat Tuesday’s City Council meet-ing where members approved thesettlement.

The two jailers involved in theincident, Tony Greer and MichelleDimas, are still employed by theCity, according to Lt. SaulRodriguez. While Greer continuesto work in the jail, Dimas is now aguest services assistant, accordingto salary records from TransparentCalifornia. Rodriguez said Dimasno longer works in the jail “for rea-

sons unrelated to this matter.”“The City has denied and con-

tinues to deny that its employeesused excessive force or took anyother actions that were improperor actionable with regard to thismatter,” Rodriguez said in a state-ment to the Daily Press.“However, the City believed thatthis settlement was in the City’sbest interests, in substantial partto avoid extensive and more costlyfurther legal proceedings includ-ing attorney’s fees.”

WINNERAWARD WINNERAWARD WINNER

AFTER TWENTY-ONE YEARS, FOX’S BIGGESTstar, Bill O’Reilly, will not be returning.(Predicted here last Friday, making me 1 for100.) Billo’s termination was due to hisnumerous sexual harassment settlements for$13 million and the loss of fifty advertisers ina week following a NY Times expose. Twoweeks ago, Donald Trump, with no evidence,reflexively defended O’Reilly. But, then again,O’Reilly had always defended Trump in hismany sexual harassment charges. (I’d say,“Birds of a feather” but it sounds too nice.)

At the moment, it’s another Trump traitthat worries me more, i.e. he doesn’t read. Thisleaves him remarkably ignorant. I find myselfsimultaneously laughing at Trump’s absurdityand petrified of what he will say or do next.

Perhaps because he was a lifelongDemocrat, Trump doesn’t even know aboutthe Republican Party. This was evidenced inMarch at a RNC fundraiser. Apparently,Trump had just discovered that AbrahamLincoln was a Republican and was delighted,asking the room. “Did you know Lincolnwas a Republican?” Inasmuch as many referto themselves as members of “The Party ofLincoln”, the audience was bewildered.“Great president,” Trump continued, asthough he was sharing a historical nugget.

“We have to build that up a little bitmore,” Trump rambled.“Let’s take out an ad.Let’s use one of those PACs.” Yes, that’s theticket, Donnie, with talk of nuclear war inthe air, let’s produce a TV commercial to tellthe country Honest Abe was a Republican.To think we’ve gone from Lincoln to Trump.Borrowing from Mort Sahl, maybe Darwinwas wrong.

Another display of Trump’s ignorance wasreflected in his commemorating “BlackHistory Month.” Inexplicably, he never men-tioned slavery but rather how well he had donewith the black vote. (In truth, he got 8%.)

It was obvious he also thought FrederickDouglass, former slave turned abolitionist,was still alive. “He (Douglass) is an exampleof somebody who’s done an amazing joband is being recognized more and more.”

Those moments reflect the benign side ofTrump’s ignorance. On the “downright dan-gerous” side was Trump’s statement in earlyApril that “An American armada is steamingtoward N. Korea.” He added, “There will alsobe powerful submarines,” which must havetotally flipped out the military brass whowonder about their verbally incontinentCommander in Chief.

By armada, Trump was referring to theU.S.S. Carl Vinson, which has been deployed in“Operation Desert Strike”and “Operation IraqiFreedom.” Most recently, the body of Osama

Bin Laden, was buried at sea off the Vinson.Besides the inexcusable “submarine” gaffe, thebiggest mistake was the Vinson was 3,000 milesaway heading in the opposite direction!

Frankly, I worry that Trump shows signsof dementia. I’m serious. His father, Fred,suffered from Alzheimer’s prior to his deathin 1999. During a Fox Business Channelinterview Trump went on in strange detailabout the “most beautiful piece of chocolatecake” that he and Chinese President Xi hadenjoyed at Mar-a-Lago.” (You and I paid forthat dinner and the money goes directly inTrump’s pocket!)

Moments afterward, Trump blurted outthat he had “Launched 159 missiles intoIraq.” Stunned, interviewer Maria Bartiromo,interrupted, “You mean, Syria, don’t you?”So, we are left to conclude that, while Trumprecalled every detail about the chocolatecake, he forgot which country he’d bombed.

Or how about on the April 2 ExecutiveOrder signing ceremony in the Oval Office.Embarrassingly, the seemingly absent-mind-ed, Trump simply walked out of the roomhaving forgotten to ... sign the ExecutiveOrder! (Early signs of dementia?)

For all his “balance the budget” campaignpromises, at enormous taxpayer expense,Trump has essentially spent 5 minutes of everyhour of his presidency at Mar-a-logo.(Membership price has doubled, meaningmore $$ in Trump’s pocket!) Or, how about theunbelievable hypocrisy of his “Buy American,Hire American” Executive Order when his ownproducts are made in China or Mexico.

Also disturbing is Trump’s twisted admi-ration for ruthless dictators, including:Putin, Saddam, Qaddafi, Kim Jung-un andMussolini. On Tuesday he personallyphoned Turkey’s autocratic PresidentErdogan to congratulate him on an electionmost observers feel he stole.

But the “mother” of all of Trump’s liesmay turn out to be his so-called tax audit.Despite countless promises to produce hisreturns, it appears Trump will never do it.(As I also predicted, making me 2 out of100?) How did I know he was lying? His lipswere moving.

If there was no audit and Trump insists onbreaking his many promises to produce hisreturns, it will have been a blatant con job. Ihope the Democrats don’t cooperate on taxreform until Trump produces his returns.After all, if Bill O’Reilly wasn’t too big to fire,maybe the same can be said of Trump.

For a laugh, hopefully, go to YouTube and type“Bill O’Reilly Freakout.” JJAACCKK can be reached [email protected].

— SUBMITTED BY CONSTANCE FARRELL, SANTA MONICA PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICERCitywideLASC Family Law Division announces voluntary settlement project pilot

The Family Law Division of the Los Angeles Superior Court has announced the launchof a pilot project which will provide an opportunity for those with family law cases to par-ticipate in court-sponsored Voluntary Settlement Conferences (VSC).

The no-cost program is designed so that families of all economic status, including theself-represented community, can avail themselves of a resource generally available onlyto those who possess the financial resources to hire a private dispute-resolution profes-sional as a means of accomplishing an early settlement of their case.

“Free programs and services sponsored by the Court to help litigants meet, talk, and fairlyresolve their differences with guidance from trained and knowledgeable personnel, are to beapplauded,” said Betty Nordwind, executive director of the Harriet Buhai Center for FamilyLaw. “This of course assumes adequate protection for victims of domestic violence who often-times lack equal bargaining power and are fearful of dealing directly with their abuser.”

All family law case types are eligible to participate, including cases where one or bothparties are self-represented. In order to be considered for the program, counsel and theparties acknowledge that they have all the information necessary to reach a full andcomplete settlement at the VSC.

Even if the case does not settle through participation in the VSC, the process will resultin a case that is appropriately prepared for trial, saving time and money for all involved.

“This pilot project will provide mediation at an earlier point where there is the realpossibility that the parties will still be able to protect and divide the assets whichthey have worked so hard to achieve and where there is the ability to protect theirchildren from further acrimony of their parents, thereby allowing our Courts to dowhat is in the best interest of our children,” said Jody Bogen, chair of the family lawsection of the Los Angeles County Bar Association. “By providing trial judges asmediators for these families, there is the real possibility for settlement, especiallywhen the litigants will be hearing from judges who actually hear all of their similarissues on a daily basis.”

All VSC requests will be administered by the family law supervising judge inDepartment 2 at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse. If the case is deemed appropriate forVSC, the conference will be scheduled in one of the long-cause courtrooms located in thefour courthouses listed below.

When feasible, cases will be assigned to courtrooms based on geographic zones: theVan Nuys East Courthouse will service the Chatsworth and Michael D. Antonovich court-houses; the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse in Long Beach will service thePomona, Santa Monica, and Torrance courthouses; and the Central Civil West (CCW) andStanley Mosk courthouses will service all other courthouses and cases in which the par-ties are willing to travel to Mosk or CCW in downtown Los Angeles.

Family law cases are heard at 12 courthouses located throughout the county and over96,000 family law cases were filed in 2016. Family law filings include dissolutions(divorce), legal separations, child support, and paternity cases, as well as requests fordomestic violence restraining orders.

“The pilot program is the result of the collaborative effort of the entire family law divi-sion,” said Judge Thomas Trent Lewis, supervising judge of family law. “We are commit-ted to finding new, innovative ways to optimize efficiency while providing a high degreeof service to court users. It is important that the Los Angeles Superior Court ensure thataccess to justice is attainable for the entire community we serve, not just for those whoare better situated economically.”

Presiding Judge Daniel Buckley said “Our Court faces many challenges. Some of themrequire additional funding and some we are addressing through expanded use of technol-ogy. But by utilizing the greatest resource we already have, our roster of talented, com-mitted judicial officers, we can increase our ability to assist with the fair resolution ofthese cases so people can move on with their lives.

By JOHN DEERINGHeathcliff By PETER GALLAGHER

By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART

Mars moves into the sign of the twins, where delightful distractions abound, trends catch on and pursuitsinvolve quite a bit of talking to sort out. This isn’t considered a particularly productive transit -- a bit likea visit from the mischievous Thing One and Thing Two of “The Cat in the Hat.” Still, there’s fun in the chaosand a lesson, as well.

Mars Moves in With the Twins

ARIES (March 21-April 19)Recent stresses have you craving a little morereassurance that all is well. You may have toask for it, as people will be so into their ownparts of the story that they may not realizewhat others need and want.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)In your mind, if relationships are a lot of work,it’s a sign that the fit isn’t good. Regardless, wecan’t always choose with whom we’ll be inter-acting. Attaining new and better social skillswill help matters greatly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)Meetings are on the agenda. They may not feelall that productive, but the point is to show up,see and be seen. This is about understandingthe roles involved and the people who aregoing to play them.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)There’s a new project or person on your mind -- how exciting and irresistible! You are con-vinced that you are better off pursuing thisthan doing what you used to do for fun.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)A little complaining between friends or col-leagues can be a bonding experience, ventingthe bad energy and uniting the team. But con-stant complaining just compounds negativity.Steer clear of it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Love is not something you can talk yourselfinto or create with an intellectual exercise. Youmay feel that you (SET ITAL) should (ENDITAL) love, but don’t force the issue. It justdoesn’t work that way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)The day is marked by an increased sense ofpurpose. Perhaps this is because many will beaffected by your work. As you act on behalf ofthe group, you find success.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)Your vessel will be affected by the wind andcurrents, but you’re still ultimately the pilot ofthis ship. Grip the wheel and do your best withtoday’s stormy seas.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)The first step to restoring the peace in yourworld will have to do with temperance. Goeasy; do the things that contribute to yourhealth. If there’s a problem to clear up, you’llhave the strength for it today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You’ve had the kind of life turning points thatwere unexpected and out of your control, butmostly change happens because you make ithappen. And here you go again!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)It’s as though today pulls back the stage cur-tain just enough to give you a peek at what’s tocome in a brand-new phase of your life. You’lllike what you see.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)You’re not always your best counselor. In fact,you wouldn’t even make the top-10 list today.Listen to many opinions. Right now, you’re tooclose to (yet also, oddly, somewhat naiveabout) the subject.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 21)

Wanting well is an art. You want the highest and best for all involved, not just yourself. The year ismarked by an attitude of flexibility that will allow you to make the most of circumstances and usethe energy available instead of fighting against it. New work comes in July. Romantic love playsout like a dream. Scorpio and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 50, 12, 14 and 32.
