Your participation and tax-deductible gift will help createfunding necessary for these celebrations.

As the organization’s largest event, Bowling for Birthdays! serves to fund approximate-ly 60 birthday parties a year which provides children long-lasting memories of feeling spe-cial and the chance to just be a kid on their big day.

The 3rd Annual Autism Rocks concert, which is organized by the nonprofit SwagSquad Inc., is being held at the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica from 3-5pm onSunday, September 16, 2018. It will be an afternoon of celebration, and an opportunityfor people on the autism spectrum to showcase their talents.

This year’s Autism Rocks show will be hosted by the founder of Autism Rocks and Secretaryof Swag Squad Inc., Alex Lin. The concert will be headlined by Dylan Dunlap, Logan Heroes, ElvisSuissa (frontman for Three Bad Jacks), and Miracle Project Live, featuring Soulshocka. The twoprevious Autism Rocks concerts were held at Universal Citywalk in Hollywood with AmericanIdol’s James Durbin, Adanna Duru, and YouTube sensation Travis Atreo, among others. ShawnMendes and NBA superstar Blake Griffin also supported this cause in previous years.

“I am a 19 year-old kid with mild Asperger's Syndrome,” reveals Alex Lin. “I startedthis concert with one mission in mind: to spread awareness and educate others on thetopic of autism. Growing up as a person with Asperger’s, I felt like no one understood orsupported me, so I wanted to create an event that would educate others and showcasethe talents of people with autism, and illustrate that people on the spectrum are as tal-ented and valuable as anyone else.

“Additionally, I started this concert as a way to honor my grandmother Grace’s lega-cy. She always loved and understood me unconditionally, even though I was considereddifferent to everyone else. So I wanted to make sure that my Grandmother's uncondition-al love would be given to the rest of the autism community, because they also deserveevery inch of the love my late grandmother gave to me.”

Westside Together

HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS AREdevastating, costly hardships that I’m willingto bet most veterans did not intend to sign upfor when they enrolled in the Military.Nevertheless, veterans are now experiencingand at risk of hunger and homelessness inhigh numbers, especially as they age andrequire more significant care. A 2017 study inthe Journal of Nutrition, Health & Agingfound that 15% of older veterans in home-based care were malnourished, and that vet-erans in general may face a greater risk ofmalnourishment because of the chronic dis-eases and social risk factors that are prevalentamong this population. In Los AngelesCounty, this risk of hunger is compounded bythe enduring homelessness crisis. Despite asizeable decrease in veteran homelessnessoverall over the past year, the Los AngelesHomeless Services Authority recognized in its2018 Count that nearly 4,000 veterans in LACounty are still experiencing the hardship oflife without secure roofs over their heads.

The good news is that social service agen-cies on the Westside of LA County, with thehelp of the Westside Coalition, are focusingon programs that consistently provide nour-ishing food specifically for these veterans.Founded in 1982, the Westside Coalition isan alliance of 47 organizations, public agen-cies and faith communities committed toworking collaboratively on issues of housing,hunger and health through service coordina-tion, public education and advocacy. Whilethere is much work still to be done, theHomeless Count referenced above foundthat in the West LA area, veteran homeless-ness decreased by 53% from the prior year, ascompared to the citywide decrease of 18%.

This progress is aided greatly by the workof 20 Westside Coalition member agenciesthat regularly provide food, mental healthservices that cater to PTSD-induced trauma,street outreach and case management, tran-sitional housing, and medical services forveterans. Last year, over 20,000 unduplicatedveterans were served by these agencies.

Westside Food Bank (WSFB) and Mealson Wheels West’s combined hunger reliefefforts for veterans is particularly indicativeof the work of the Westside Coalition onHunger Housing and Health, to which bothorganizations belong. Their ExecutiveDirectors both serve on the Board of theCoalition, WSFB’s Bruce Rankin as a found-ing member. Together, they are able to pro-vide food for veterans who are homebound,homeless, and seeking treatment at VA facil-ities on the Westside.

For veterans who are homebound, Mealson Wheels West (MOW West) offers its sig-

nature free home meal delivery, with a sideof social interaction, for veterans who canoften find themselves becoming both men-tally and physically isolated as they age andheal while at risk of experiencing hunger. AsNoe Aguirre, a Sergeant Marine Corps veter-an who helps connect other veterans withMeals on Wheels West explains in a promo-tional video for the organization’s extensiveprogram, “Homebound veterans are stillrecovering from combat wounds or severetrauma, or TBI [Traumatic Brain Injuries]or PTSD in general…but help is just a phonecall away.” By increasing focus on veterans inrecent months, MOW West has been able totriple the number of veterans it serves. For73-year-old Vietnam veteran Purple Heartrecipient Bruce Nakashima, those meals andthe friendship that he formed with the vol-unteer and fellow veteran who delivered hisfood meant the difference between isolationand community, hunger and health. Urgingveterans to seek this help, Aguirre says,“You’ve earned that right, it’s not charity.”

At Westside Food Bank, which distributesfood for nearly 70 social service agencies onthe Westside, providing food for homeless andfood insecure veterans who are concurrentlyseeking treatment or services at VA facilitiesrequires a multi-pronged approach. First, thefood must be nutritious and easy to access.This means pop-top cans that do not requirecan openers, fresh fruits and vegetables thatcan be eaten raw, and diabetes or heart-diseasefriendly foods that conform to veterans’ oftenrestrictive diets. To get this food to veterans,WSFB operates an extensive raised-bed gardenat the West LA VA’s Bandini FoundationHeroes Golf Course; provides food to multipleveteran-centric member agencies; deliversweekly bagged lunches to VA campus build-ings, including their Homeless Outreach andWelcome Centers; and perhaps most notably,runs a weekly farmers’ market-style producedistribution right next to the West LA VA’smain hospital pavilion. In 2017, Westside FoodBank’s food reached over 11,000 veterans.

Together, the food provided by Meals onWheels West and Westside Food Bank reach-es veterans who are homebound, experienc-ing homelessness, or receiving treatment at aVA facility, and who don’t have adequateaccess to nutritious food. To find out moreabout the work being done by the WestsideCoalition, Meals on Wheels West, andWestside Food Bank, please visit their web-sites: www.westsideshelter.org, www.meal-sonwheelswest.org, www.wsfb.org.

it'll revolutionize how parents and kids seesports. We develop great athletes and people.”

For those unfamiliar, Boyd calls the sporta mixture of basketball-meets-soccer-meets-football, with teams throwing a frisbee toteammates (a la football), taking a few stepsper possession (basketball-ish) in order toget to an end zone (football). But what can berevolutionary about tossing a frisbee around?

Boyd says two things, mainly, with thefirst being no-contact. In an age of concus-sion awareness, he says a no-contact sportis a “no-brainer” with Ultimate Frisbeeavoiding lifetime injuries that other morephysical sports could possibly accrue withtheir players.

Next would be self-officiating. “We’reteaching [players] peaceful conflict resolu-tion. How to have discussions with an oppo-nent in a possibly heated moment. To actu-ally listen to another human being, see theirperspective and reach a reasonable solutionis the rules, but it’s also life lesson.”

Jennifer Morgerman, a parent whohelped nudge the City to allow the sport atLincoln Middle School’s field, is passionateabout the sport.

She says the non-contact and peacefulresolution aspects appealed to her (“Doesn'tthat demonstrate exactly the kind of world

we want to show our kids, especially rightnow?”), but the inclusiveness of the sportmade her a lifelong fan.

“Ultimate appeals to the kind of kid I seea lot of, one that I think often gets left out ofteam sports ... This is the kid who wouldlove it and really benefit from it, but forwhatever reason … more traditional offer-ings are just not the right fit for them.”

Boyd is taking steps to introduce thesport to schools, attempting to make it anofficial sport.

He’s worked with the after school pro-gram LA’s Best and has done UltimateFrisbee clinics with CREST Sports, a non-competitive Santa Monica recreational pro-gram. His biggest dreams are seeing thesport as a varsity sport someday and hope-fully even see it in the Olympics.

Yes, the Olympics.The International Olympic Committee

recently recognized frisbee as a sport, open-ing up eligibility for a 2024 or 2028 run forthe sport.

“It would be incredibly cool for SantaMonica to start producing talents and devel-oping athletes to be the face of UltimateFrisbee. This could be ground zero for thebeginning of that.”

IN AN AGE OF IPADS, NINTENDO SWITCHES ANDA LOT OF DIGITAL STIMULATION, WILL CHILDRENAND PARENTS OF THESE CHILDREN HAVE A HARDTIME GETTING THEMSELVES TO MEDITATE?

Yes. I think all of us, parents included, haveproblems trying to find time to meditate.

Parents are also distracted by anonslaught of stimulation — social media,texts, YouTube, emails — and I think it's dif-ficult for everyone to find time to meditate.Sometimes it feels like you can’t stop, thatyou need to be doing something.

My goal is to introduce easy, simple, shorttechniques that can help us disconnect for aminute or even just give ourselves a deepbreathe to connect with the inner-self, notjust rely on external stimulation.

IS IT HARD FOR YOU TO DISENGAGE WITH TECH, TOO?

Always! (laughs) It’s always so hard todisengage.

I have a Youtube channel with my broth-er and father that I did, a series calledPerfectly Imperfect Parents. In the trailer, it'sme talking about being present and mind-ful...but I'm peeking at my iPhone while I’msaying it. (laughs) I think all of us are dis-tracted, probably more so than we’d care toadmit.

iPhones, computers — these devices havebecome an extension of ourselves and we[check for notifications] without thinkingabout it, it’s muscle memory now. Part ofmindfulness is getting away from that.

HOW HAS MEDITATION AND MINDFULNESSIMPACTED YOUR LIFE AS WELL AS YOUR FAMI-LY’S LIVES?

I learned how to meditate when I was 9.I've been irregular with meditation practice,but I have this technique with myself that'sprovided an anchor to deal with stress thatallows me to be happier.

[Meditation] was a gift my parents gaveme as a child and something I wanted toshare with my kids, who are now 13 and 16.My parents never forced me or my sister,

they gave us tools and we used them whenwe needed it.

We see meditation techniques as ways totake a deep breathe and deal with stressfulsituations, to be more aware of mindfulness.For example, if I was panicking, I breathe,observe, think about my internal dialogueand complaining, and that mindfulnesshelps me.

I wrote this book more as a guide tothink, to live a life with these really simpletechniques, to help [people] be happier. It’sfilled with life lessons as a kid that helpedme. As a parent, meditation became some-thing I felt I didn't have time to do. As I gotstressed and anxious in my own life, I redis-covered mediation. Just doing 5 minutes inthe carpool lane can help me. (laughs)

WHY AGES 8-12? I wanted to write a book for children, just

for kids. I want to empower them to takecontrol and do things on their own. I thinkages 8 - 12 is a perfect age for it, kids areintelligent, curious, willing to try things atthose ages.

My greatest hope with this book is thatparents explore mindfulness and meditationwith their children, discover it together. Myadvice to parents is they follow the tech-niques themselves and have children learnby watching them, ask them to join and trythe techniques.

IS THERE AN AGE THAT’S TOO EARLY TO LEARNMEDITATION?

I don’t think there's too early an age, butI encourage parents to find their own prac-tice and pace then lead by example.

WHAT CAN PARENTS OR OTHERS OUTSIDE OFTHE 8-12 GROUP LEARN FROM THIS BOOK?

I feel like meditation is the most valuablegift my parents gave to me as a child. I'vetalked to so many people in Santa Monicaand in the Westside, I've seen how its helpedthem and I just want to share this knowl-edge. Kids are stressed and anxious in thisday and age: bullying, homework stress,social media envy. I think this helps. We allwant a healthy community.

CitywideWell Being Trust Announces grant to St. John’s

Well Being Trust (WBT) has announced $8.5 million in new grants as the second roundof grants to mental health and well-being initiatives in California.

“Mental health challenges do not exist in isolation—they are intertwined with chronichealth conditions, lack of safe and clean housing, substance use disorders, economic andtransportation deficiencies and a myriad of other issues,” said Tyler Norris, MDiv, chiefexecutive, Well Being Trust. “With both rounds of grants, we intend to meet people wherethey are and where they need help and focus on all of the issues that impact one’s men-tal health and well-being.”

As in the first round, for round two, Well Being Trust worked with California-based part-ners to identify the most significant areas of need and the community-level programs thatcould provide substantial health and well-being improvements across the state.

Providence Saint John's Health Center’s Community Care Coordination Program forVulnerable Patients received funding. This program brings together The People Concern,St. Joseph Center, and Venice Family Clinic to provide intensive patient navigation and casemanagement for high needs individuals experiencing homelessness, ensuring a smoothtransition from the Emergency Department to community services. Case managers at ThePeople Concern and St. Joseph Center will work with social workers, other case managers,and community care coordinators at Saint John's Health to develop a coordinated care planfor individuals and establish a permanent medical home at Venice Family Clinic.

This is grant will help to fund the hospital’s the Homeless Care Navigation Program,which provides patients who are homeless with information about resources. The fund-ing also will provide additional case managers for two of our partner organizations serv-ing the homeless, St. Joseph Center and The People Concern. The goal is to expeditepatient referrals from Providence Saint John’s to these organizations.

Well Being Trust is a national foundation dedicated to advancing the mental, social,and spiritual health of the nation. Created to include participation from organizationsacross sectors and perspectives, Well Being Trust is committed to innovating andaddressing the most critical mental health challenges facing America, and to transform-ing individual and community well-being. www.wellbeingtrust.org.

reduce property values and was the result ofa defective approval process.

He said safety studies are invalidated byelevating the antennas above ground level(installation would occur atop existing lightpoles) and that the nature of the raised workcreates privacy concerns for residents like hisyoung daughter whose window is directlyacross from an antenna.

“I think we really need to make sure thereare regulations requiring notice and restrict-ing times of day that these cell towers can beserviced,” he said. “That might partially ben-efit all of us if this is going on.”

Butte said while there are limitations onthe council’s authority, they do have someauthority over installation and maintenance.

“Your hands are not tied in this matter;you do have the ability to regulate and pro-tect us on this issue,” he said.

Butte also said the entire approval process

is broken and in need of repair.Councilman McKeown reiterated the

restrictions on local governments. He saidFederal laws have systematically reduced thepower of local jurisdictions over cellulartechnology and that no arguments overradiation fears can be entertained providedthe equipment meets existing standards.

He said the council will be overwhelmedby similar appeals if it doesn’t incorporatesome of residents’ legitimate concerns intothe approval process.

“There’s a lot of towers that people aregoing to be very concerned about and I don’twant to spend every night for the next fiveyears talking about cell towers,” he said.

While Council approved the two loca-tions, they directed staff to come back withadditional rules to govern future applica-tions that will cover the appropriateness oflocations, service rules, perception of blight,perception of real estate values and possibleworking hours for antenna owners.

DowntownL.A. premiere: HRW presents documentary Naila and the Uprising with discussion, reception

Human Rights Watch will host the Los Angeles premiere of Naila and the Uprising on September26. By looking at the little-known yet instrumental role of women during the First Intifada, the movieopens a window into issues still at stake in today's conflict in Israel and Palestine.

Join organizers starting at 6:15 p.m. at Santa Monica's Aero Theatre forMediterranean food and drinks and stay after the movie for an engaging discussion withdirector Julia Bacha, producer Rula Salameh, and Human Rights Watch's Deputy Directorfor the Middle East and North Africa Division Eric Goldstein.

When an uprising breaks out in the Occupied Palestinian Territories in 1987, a youngwoman in Gaza must make a choice between love, family, and freedom. Naila and theUprising chronicles the remarkable real-life journey of Naila Ayesh, a key figure in theFirst Intifada, which forced the world to recognize the Palestinian right to self-determi-nation for the first time. Using evocative animation, intimate interviews, and exclusivearchival footage, this film tells the story the mainstream media missed: of a courageousclandestine women’s movement at the head of Palestinians’ struggle for freedom, bring-ing out of anonymity the courageous women activists whose contributions and sacrificeschanged history, but whose stories have remained untold until now.

All attendees are invited to stay after the screening for a Q & A followed by a dessertreception with panelists Director Julia Bacha, Deputy Director, Middle East and NorthAfrica Division Human Rights Watch Eric Goldstein and Producer Rula Salameh

General tickets are $30 and student tickets are $15. Tickets are unreserved and seat-ing is first-come, first-served. 6:15 p.m. Doors open; Hors-d’oeuvres & Drinks. 7 p.m.movie, followed by Q&A. 8:45 p.m. light dessert reception.

Through regularly scheduled screenings and discussions, Human Rights Watch'sFilm Club in Los Angeles creates a forum to advance awareness of human rightsissues and empower audiences with the knowledge that personal commitment canmake a difference.

For 40 years, Human Rights Watch has been at the forefront of the internationalhuman rights movement, investigating human rights abuses and exposing the truthin order to bring about deep-rooted change. Around the globe we work in tandemwith local activists who often put their lives at risk to protect the rights and digni-ty of others.

By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART

When following riskier, wackier and generally more unusual pursuits, leave the pessimists out of it. Thoughthere are times when it's good to have a dubious person in the mix, today that would only sully the expe-rience of moving full steam ahead with unreasonable whimsy under the trendy Gemini moon.

Lunar Whimsy

ARIES (March 21-April 19)The assumptions people make about you willusually tell you more about who they are thanabout who you are. So regardless of how favor-able or unfavorable is the response you're get-ting, do consider the source.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Relationships will be better without interfer-ence. Things improve when you stop listeningto the advice of your resident know-it-all. Feelyour way through.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)It's hard to see your own progress. Things mayseem to be coming together more slowly thanyou would have liked. But what you're doingwill be super impressive to those who haven'tchecked in on you in a while.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)Even though you've been striving to do some-thing more outrageous than what you wantedbefore, the little things are still what matter toyou. A moment of connection will be the high-light of your day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Shed your reservations; they won't do you muchgood today. In other words, don't hesitate tointroduce yourself, ask your question or speakup about what you notice, and go in for the hug.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Things will trend in one direction, and quitelogically at that. For instance, tensions willtend to compound on each other, or the oppo-site way will happen, wherein relaxation leadsto laziness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)The powers that be push you to the brink ofself-discovery. Your reactions are surprising toyou. It's true you were born with certain giftsand limitations. But ultimately, you decide whoyou are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)If someone had told you that this would bewhere you'd end up today, you wouldn't havebelieved the person. Your relationship with aCancer or Capricorn could help you make themost of the opportunity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Favored activities include doing business over-seas, dealing in different languages or chattingup that mysterious person in your neighbor-hood who comes from far away.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)The kind of clients and customers you desirewant to work with people who have passion forthe job. The more enthusiastic you are themore money you'll make.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Will you get what you want? There are as manyreasons you could as there are reasons youcould not. So hope for the best and try yourhardest. You'll feel good about what happens,regardless of the outcome.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)Simple and small goals will win the day.Reaching out to one person, committingto one project or making one phone callwill make more of a difference than tryingto do more.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 3)

You relate to others brilliantly, making them feel witty, accomplished and winning. This catapultsyou to popularity and political power. At times during this solar return, you will work too hard, butat least you'll have a good time with it. Fun on the job will be a daily occurrence. You'll make a bigsale in May. Cancer and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 3, 33, 25 and 17.
