Obsessed Provides Perfect Valentine Gifts

Posted on February 12, 2024 by Sue Pascoe

This one of a kind piece of art, a Passio Creation, includes beaded gemstones.

Amy Russo and Michelle Good’s jewelry store, Obsessed, located on Sunset, near Wells Fargo and next to Naturella Beauty Center has some unique items that will make perfect Valentine gifts.

The store, which has been at this location for two years, is “a collection of all the things that we are obsessed with,” said Russo, who lives in Pacific Palisades. Good lives in Brentwood.

Each Passio piece is unique.

For example, this is the only store in town that carries Passio Creations.

Each piece is created by hand by artist Elyssa Furst. Initially, she designed jewelry, but when she had children, she took a break. The gems she worked with were stored in her garage—and then Covid hit.

She pulled them out and created art with the semi-precious stones beading them into artwork. The exquisite pieces are one-of-a kind and retail from $200 to $600.

The store’s jewelry, which includes 14k gold and sterling silver, with pavé set diamonds, and semi-precious stones, is sold at wholesale prices.

“It gives us great pleasure to be able to provide these unique gems at affordable prices,” Russo and Good said. Price points for a wide variety of necklaces ranges from $100 to $1,000.

The Amethyst candle stick holders ($198) are truly amazing and will be a focal point in any home. As a bonus, it is also believed that amethyst is a spiritual healing stone and can be used for protection against fear, and also instill calmness.

An amethyst candle holder can be purchased at Obsessed.

There are a variety of gemstones necklaces ($28) and each has its own spiritual property. Russo and Good can help direct you to the stone you feel would be most beneficial.

Or just celebrate Valentine’s Day with a simple rose quartz heart ($40).  It is the stone of unconditional love and is believed by some to emit strong vibrations of love. Rose quartz is directly related to the heart chakra.

In addition to the jewelry, there are crystals and crystal wands, scented candles,

Crystals have been used for healing ceremonies, meditation and energy circles for centuries.

In Obsessed you can purchase the raw stone or wear it. With the purchase of your crystal will receive a card explaining the qualities of your crystal.

“Whether it is a piece that has a symbol like a compass, star, moon or a crystal that has healing properties like moonstone (new beginnings), clear quartz (powerful cleansing and immunity) or Amethyst, our clients often connect with the pieces we sell not only because they like them, but because they tell the story of something special in their lives,” Good said.

The store is located at 15224 Sunset. Email [email protected] or call (310) 502-3859 click here.

For Valentine’s Day, make it simple with a rose quartz heart.

Supervisor Horvath Opposes Camping Ban Motion

Supervisor Lindsey Horvath casts a vote on February 7 against L.A. County supporting the city of Grants Pass, Oregon, in its U.S. Supreme Court appeal.

Supervisors Kathryn Barger and Janice Hahn introduced a motion to back the appeal that challenged the legality of enforcing outdoor camping restrictions.

Two 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rulings that struck down cities’ ability to enforce public camping restrictions against the homeless unless there is adequate alternative shelter space available.

“This motion encourages the Supreme Court to clarify our state and local governments’ ability to protect and support the rights of our housed and unhoused constituents alike,” Barger said after the 3-2 vote. “If local governments are restricted from regulating the presence of encampments on public property, we are left powerless when trying to effectively address our worsening homelessness crisis.”

The appeals court rulings “have tied the hands of cities and counties in imposing common-sense time and place restrictions on some key public spaces to keep people safe and move those who want assistance into shelter,” Hahn said.

City News Services reported that multiple homeless advocates urged the Board of Supervisors not to get involved in the Grants Pass litigation, saying it should instead be prioritizing efforts to provide shelter and other resources to guide people out of homelessness.

Horvath said the Grants Pass case “would further enable cities to push people from community to community, without a commitment to housing or services.”

“Relying on this case is not a solution to homelessness,” she said. “The only meaningful way to end the homelessness crisis we are seeing nationwide is to invest in safe, affordable housing options that include supportive services for our most vulnerable community members.”

Hilda Solis joined Horvath in voting no and said, “If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the city of Grants Pass, Oregon, people experiencing homelessness may lose this constitutional protection. “Furthermore, it could lead to the criminalization of people who are simply trying to survive. We can and must do better by addressing the root causes of homelessness rather than taking the easy way out by citing, fining, and incarcerating our most vulnerable neighbors.”

But the motion passed when Supervisor Holly Mitchell agreed to vote in favor, after she added an amendment clearly stating that the county does not support the criminalization of homelessness.

Plan to Go to Genesis Invitational February 15 to 18

Posted on February 11, 2024 by Sue Pascoe

The crowds surround the 18th hole as golfers complete their rounds during the Genesis Open.

The Genesis Invitational, hosted by Tiger Woods, will open its doors to the public at the Riviera Country Club Thursday, February 15 to Sunday, February 18.

A collegiate showcase will be held February 12, with the winning collegiate player gaining a berth to play the opening rounds. Many may remember Sahith Theegala, a Pepperdine golfer, who won in 2017, and then played the opening rounds. He tied for 40th at 2-under 140 with Phil Mickeson and J. B. Holmes and spent the next two days golfing with the two PGA greats.

As an amateur, he finished tied with six other players for 49th.  He turned pro in 2020 and joined the tour in 2022. Currently he’s ranked 5th on the PGA money list, with about $2.5 million and placed fifth at the WM Phoenix Open with -17. He plans to play in the Genesis.

Tuesday the course is closed for practice rounds for golfers and on Wednesday it is the Pro-Am, presented by Bang & Olufsen. During the Pro-Am, golfers pay to play a round of golf with the professionals.

Tiger Woods has said he will play the tournament that he hosts.

Ticket prices are for the day and ground access starts at $110, access to the Riviera clubhouse and grounds is $175. A ticket to the “bluffs” $485, which includes beverage service in a climate-controlled lounge with tee-to-green views of 14. The most expensive one-day ticket, $825, is to the “backlot,” but that includes upscale dining, in a climate-controlled lounge with views of 18 green. Tickets can only be purchased online in advance of the tournament. There will be no walk-up box office sales at the tournament’s main entrance during event week.

There is no public parking at or on the surrounding streets of The Riviera Country Club. All surrounding streets have parking restrictions from Wednesday, February 14 to Sunday, February 18 – 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

There is no public parking at Paul Revere Middle School, that lot is used for press and VIPs. (The tournament pays LAUSD for the right to park on the field.)

People attending the tournament with a regular ticket must take the shuttle to Santa Monica. The shuttle pick-up and drop-off location is located on Wilshire Boulevard between 2nd St. and 3rd St. The shuttle will drop guests at the tournament’s Main Entrance on Longworth Drive.

Guests do NOT need a tournament ticket to ride the shuttle but will need to purchase a ticket online using a mobile device before entering the tournament.

Santa Monica Promenade property owner John Alle warned that the City parking lots are unsafe and that tournament goers should be warned.

“They are cleaned properly, but all the structures and Structure 1 where most park, are full of urine, feces and lights are burned out,” Alle said. “Homeless addicts are still sleeping inside to avoid the cold, and they stay during the day to charge their phones. And vehicles are on several floors with homeless people inside.  It is awful.”

CTN contacted Santa Monica City Mayor Phil Brock and asked about the parking structures. He responded on February 9. “The parking lots will be safe. There are lots of people around.”

For people in Pacific Palisades going to the tournament, one of the easiest ways to access the course is to take the Metro bus, that travels along Sunset.

During the February 8 Pacific Palisades Community Council meeting, residents asked new West L.A. Patrol Captain Alisha Jordan for help in enforcement during the Genesis.

Last year a party bus, with a handicapped license plate parked in front of residences off Allenford Avenue. Residents complained that people were drinking and smoking in the bus and that parking couldn’t ask them to move because of the license.

The designated rideshare drop-off and pick-up location is at the middle school 1450 Allenford Avenue. Other residents asked Jordan if it was okay that middle school kids be subjected to the large number of inebriated people that walked towards the school. “Drinking seems to be as important as golfing to some people,” one resident observed.

Jordan said, “We will have a large number of officers deployed during the tournament.”

DUI’s Are Not an Accident: They Are Preventable

Posted on February 11, 2024 by Sue Pascoe

Any person who drinks and drives is responsible for the havoc/property loss/ and possible deaths that might result from that action. CTN has been following the trial of Rebecca Grossman, whose lawyers on Friday sought to dismiss murder charges against her in the 2020 hit-and-run deaths of two boys.

The judge denied the motion. Grossman, 60, is charged with two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and one count of hit-and-run driving resulting in death in connection with the collision.

Although she was not charged with driving under the influence, breathalyzer test at the scene showed that Grossman had a blood alcohol level of about 0.075%; a blood test three hours later came back at 0.08%, California’s legal limit. Valium was also found in her system.

Then a DUI hit closer to home.

Saturday, February 10, at 2:18 a.m., CTN received a text from a niece that lives next to this editor’s mother Noma Sazama, 94, in South Dakota. “Sorry for the late/early text. Grandma is fine; her house is not.”

A wall of a home was taken out by a drunk driver.

Noma added, “Car versus house. Driver is in police custody. DUI.”

It appears the driver mistook the house driveway for a street and sped up on it, hitting the house, which caused the car to spin out and ended up west of the house in the yard that Noma uses for a garden.

Her bedroom was in the north part of her house. Noma heard a loud noise that woke her up. She thought originally it might be thunder, so she got out of her bed and looked out her north window, then her west window. When she didn’t see anything, she got back in bed, and then thought, maybe she should look out front.

She went about five feet up her hallway that leads to the front door. It was then she saw part of the wall of her house was gone and she couldn’t go any further because of the clutter. All of the furniture and the siding of the house had been pushed towards her bedroom.

Her daughter Barb, who had captured the accident on a video surveillance camera, immediately alerted the police. They took the driver, a woman, in her 30s into custody.

Neighbors and friends, a carpenter Scott Larson and his wife, Carrie, started working immediately in the early a.m. to secure the house and fix the hole. The back door blew off its hinges with the impact and the couple worked to fix it, too, so it would close.

With help from the family, Barb relocated Noma to her home, while the repairs were going on. The nighttime temperatures are between 9 and 27 degrees, so staying in the home would not have been possible.

“I just cleaned my house today,” Noma told this editor, saying there was foam, dirt, and wood everywhere. Then she reflected on the positive, “Well, at least I didn’t clean my floors.”

Noma later wrote in a text, “My new couch that you kids gave me has a hole in the side and the frame is bent, so it’s not usable. One of the wooden chairs has a rip in the cushion, a framed picture had the glass broken, two end tables were destroyed, a floor lamp was bent and is not usable.

But on the positive side, she is okay and “none of my snowmen were injured and my rose-stained glass survived.”

Most of the living room furniture was damaged, but the snowmen came out unscathed.

Advocacy Group for Safer Streets Endorses DUI-Charged Council Candidate

Posted on February 11, 2024 by Sue Pascoe

(Editor’s note: When looking at ballot measures, it is sometime helpful to see who is supporting the measure. In the case of Measure HLA, it is supported by StreetsForALL. That makes the SFA’s  choice of a candidate puzzling. The story first ran in the Westside Current and is reprinted with permission.)

By ANGELA MCGREGOR

 

Wendy Carrillo received an endorsement from StreetsForAll despite her DUI.

In a move that has caught many by surprise, StreetsForAll (SFA), a group advocating for cleaner air and safer streets and the initiator of the Healthy Streets LA Ballot Measure (Measure HLA), has endorsed Wendy Carrillo for the council seat currently held by Kevin de Leon. The endorsement is drawing a lot of attention due to SFA’s dedication to street safety juxtaposed with Carrillo’s recent DUI incident in Monterey Park, where she collided with parked cars.

During her DUI arrest last November, Assemblywoman Carrillo had a blood alcohol level double the legal limit, according to Los Angeles police.

Witnesses at the scene described hearing a bang from the impact which deployed Carrillo’s airbags and sent her Audi back into the middle of the road. In a video of the incident obtained by Fox11 News, Carillo — told officers she “sneezed and lost control of the car.”

In January, at her arraignment, Carrillo pleaded no contest to the charges against her and agreed to attend a three-month DUI-awareness program as well as AA meetings and community service.

Carrillo, a Democrat, represents California’s 52nd Assembly District and is running against Kevin de León for a seat on the city council. DeLeon has also been entangled in controversy after being recorded in a racist dialogue about redistricting with ex-Council member Nury Martinez. DeLeon’s predecessor, Jose Huizar, was recently sentenced to 13 years in prison due to his involvement in a corruption scandal related to real estate development.

In their endorsement, SFA stated, “We took into account her recent incident, for which she has expressed regret and vowed to do better.”

Vision Zero and SFA’s Vision

SFA last made headlines in Los Angeles with their proposition to demolish the Marina Freeway and replace it with a park, apartments, and a bike path.  The proposal garnered the support of several public officials, including Mayor Bass, who reversed her stance after overwhelming community opposition.

The organization has long had an outsized political influence in Los Angeles; their involvement with the design and implementation of the so-called “Road Diet” on Venice Blvd. predated (and some would say, superseded) the input of its surrounding communities, who now have to contend with its consequences, including the closure of dozens of small businesses due to a lack of parking.

But what is drawing the most attention right now is Measure HLA, a measure that would require the City to install bike lanes and/or other improvements spelled out in the City’s Mobility Plan anytime a stretch of roadway more than 660 feet is repaved or otherwise improved.

Opponents of the measure have pointed out that it could, potentially, create an unsafe patchwork of short (1/8 mile) bike lanes throughout the city, would cost millions of dollars to implement at a time when the city has a critical budget shortfall, and would eliminate local control over traffic improvement measures.

Carrillo told LAist that she favors Vision Zero, the master plan for pedestrian safety championed by SFA, including new bus and bike lanes.  However, she’s not the only candidate for CD14 who does.  SFA cites her “stellar record fighting for safe streets,” but her candidate website doesn’t even list her position on pedestrian safety.

More Carrillo Controversy

Carrillo has a history of controversy which predates her DUI arrest.  In 2020, she and her top aide, George Esparza, were reprimanded by the Speaker of the California State Assembly for sexually harassing two employees.

Esparza was for several years a top aide to Jose Huizar, and in 2022 testified that he was in charge of hitting up real estate developers for “political donations, hotel stays, event tickets or other benefits,” according to the L.A. Times.  In 2020, Esparza pled guilty to one count of racketeering.

According to their website, SFA — which is registered as both a political lobbyist and a non-profit — receives funding from California Yimby,  a pro-development group primarily funded by big tech.  As L.A. Progressive pointed out last year, the group’s Marina Freeway project would have constituted one of the most massive giveaways of public land to private developers in the city’s history.  Two of the top five donors to HLA, totaling more than $800,000 — are real estate developers, according to LAist.

SFA’s campaign on behalf of Measure HLA features billboards with the ominous message, “Car Crashes are the #1 Killer of Children in L.A.”  According to L.A.’s Department of Public Health, 23 Angelinos under the age of 17 died as a result of motor vehicle collisions in 2022, but there is no indication in the data that those deaths were due to insufficient bike lanes or could have been prevented by installing a dedicated bus lane.

Statewide, according to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, “Of the total number of crash fatalities in 2020, 31.8% were alcohol-involved.”

Canyon School Upgrade/Classroom Replacement Underway

Posted on February 11, 2024 by Sue Pascoe

This is a rendering of what Canyon School will look like once construction is completed. The historic one room yellow schoolhouse will be put at the back of the property. The newly constructed two-story classroom building will be along Amalfi Drive.

The Canyon Elementary School, built in 1894, is one of the oldest elementary schools in Los Angeles. The original and historic one-room schoolhouse, which is still on campus, serves as a library.

Now that campus will undergo construction, which will include a two-story building constructed along Amalfi. The lower three classrooms will be for kindergarten and will include a separate playground. Next to it will be a one-story science building.

Initially the project was approved by the Los Angeles Unified Board of Education in 2017. The Bureau of Engineering approved construction funding in 2021, which is estimated at $57.5 million. Construction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026.

The project was initially set to begin in 2020-21 but was pushed back because of Covid.

At a December Zoom meeting with residents and school members, Lorrie Munoz, with community relations opened the meeting. (213) 393-2317 or [email protected].

Timothy Spaeth, senior project development manager and Jim Favaro, principal architect, gave a construction update. Seven classrooms in portable buildings will be removed and replaced with a new building.

PHASE 1: involves moving a sewer line and installing it on Amalfi Drive. That is currently underway. Students will be moved from existing classrooms into interim housing. (This is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2024).

CTN asked why the sewer line needed to be moved. Jose De Paz, community relations for LAUSD Facilities Service Division said, “The sewer re-route is a necessary part of this project. The sewer easement is currently passing through the site and LAUSD needed the re-route the line to remove the easement and be able to build on the property.”

PHASE 2: Construct a new classroom building, which will have nine classrooms (three for kindergarten and six for other grades). The historic schoolhouse on campus will be relocated to a new concrete foundation. (This will take place from the third quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of 2026.)

(A new building was required because portable buildings were brought onto LAUSD campuses in the 1990s and 2000s to ease overcrowding but are no longer approved for classrooms. In November 2017, LAUSD approved, per state requirements, that all relocatable classrooms purchased from DOH [Department of Housing] needed to be replaced. That means that seven current classrooms at Canyon Elementary are no longer sufficient. The two kindergarten classrooms, which are in a permanent building will be moved, and that space will become a parking lot.)

PHASE 3: prepare for a new parking lot. (From fourth quarter 2025 to first quarter 2026.)

PHASE 4: Build a new parking lot. The current kindergarten building on Channel Road will be demolished. (Started first quarter 2026 and finished the third quarter of that year.)

PHASE 5: Build a schoolyard and playground. (Started in the third quarter 2026 and finished in the fourth quarter of the same year).

CTN asked De Paz if the project required an environmental review and Coastal Commission approval.

“Yes, CEQA and Coastal Commissioning reviews are completed, and approvals are granted,” De Paz said. “We received a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) Exclusion from the City of LA for the portion of the site located in the single jurisdiction zone and a CDP Waiver from the CA Coastal Commission for the portion of the site located in the dual jurisdiction zone.”

This is the proposed play yard and the two-story classroom building will be next to a street.

Charmel Lane Home Invasion Suspect Arrested

Posted on February 8, 2024 by Sue Pascoe

 

Palisades Senior Lead Officer Brian Espin reported on a successful criminal capture.

A suspect entered a Charmel Lane residence through an unlocked patio rear door around 7:30 p.m. on February 2. The suspect pointed a handgun at the victim and demanded money.

The suspect then demanded the resident open his safe. The victim complied. The suspect emptied the contents of the safe, placed it in a backpack and fled the location. He then fled in a black 2023 Kia Forte with the victim’s property.

The male suspect, 27 years old,  was being monitored by a regional surveillance taskforce for other alleged burglaries that had been committed along the west side of Los Angeles.

As the suspect left Pacific Palisades, the surveillance group requested assistance from LAPD West LA in stopping him and making an arrest.

LAPD units were able to get behind the suspect’s vehicle, but the suspect took off, resulting in a pursuit on Pacific Coast Highway, and then onto the 10 Freeway.

Because of unsafe speed and the reckless driving by the suspect, the pursuit was called off and the LAPD air unit (helicopter) was able to track the suspect’s vehicle to an apartment in the city of Torrance.

The criminal fled into an apartment unit, barricaded himself inside and refused to come out. The LAPD Swat team was enroute to take over the perimeter and negotiation when the suspect voluntarily gave up and was taken into custody. DNA was taken and the evidence was booked.

The Charmel Lane victim’s property was recovered and returned to the victim.

Officers were unable to locate the handgun that was used in the burglary/ robbery. Since the suspect used force or fear (a handgun) to coerce the victims into giving up property, the suspect was arrested for robbery.

Detectives are working with other surrounding agencies to determine if the suspect is connected to additional burglaries.

No on HLA: Save City Services

Posted on February 8, 2024 by Sue Pascoe

Yesterday, CTN printed in musings that voting “No” on HLA was important in saving City Services.

A reader wrote, “Wait, I’m confused. Why would you want to vote no on HLA?”

Most people read the measure’s headline “Healthy Streets LA” and think, “who is not for healthy streets?” This is where voters need to keep reading.

The measure would require the city to add bike lanes, bus lanes or traffic-slowing enhancements to city streets whenever a portion of a roadway of at least one-eighth of a mile is repaved or improved.

Although the voter’s guide says there will be no cost, that statement should be a red flag. The plan could exceed “$2.5 billion over 10 years,” according to the City Administrative Officer’s financial impact statement.

True, no new taxes would be charged, but where would that money would come from?

In this case it would come from L.A. City’s General Fund. The L.A. City Controller explains that “The General Fund pays for most of the core functions carried out by the City, including neighborhood services, public safety and infrastructure, and makes up the bulk of the annual budget.”

The Mobility Plan, championed by then Councilmen Mike Bonin and Jose Huizer (now serving 13 years in Federal Prison), passed the City Council in 2015. The goal was to make streets safer by getting people out of their cars and onto public transportation or riding bikes.

Many may remember that in 2016, Bonin tried to get one lane of Temescal each way removed in order to install permanent bike lanes on that road in Pacific Palisades. This community, which is not against road safety, but is isolated from public transportation, buses and metro, stopped it.

In a 2016 story written by this editor,  “This entry was found on the Biking in LA blog on Aug. 5 (bikinginla.com): ‘The proposal to install a road diet on Temescal Canyon Road, with a parking-protected bike lane on the uphill side and a buffered lane downhill, ran into opposition at the Pacific Palisades Community Council last week.

“People tend to be very defensive of their traffic lanes—almost as much as they are of parking. And anything that promises to improve safety usually takes a back seat to fears of traffic congestion, warranted or not.

“Hopefully, local residents will come around once the benefits of the project are actually explained.”

With only three ways in and out of the Palisades – and seeing the havoc and death that limited evacuation routes caused in Paradise (Camp Fire) and Lahaina (Maui Wildfire) the benefits don’t outweigh the risks.

There are issues with the 2015 mobility plan, which should be dissected, before implementation.

By voting no, you are not voting against roadway safety, you are voting for common sense. The entire City’s general fund should not be spent on a mobility plan passed in 2015.

An Act of Kindness Appreciated

Posted on February 8, 2024 by Sue Pascoe

A person found a driver’s license in the street and returned it to the rightful owner.

A reader wrote on February 6, that “I just wanted to share a story of kindness that just occurred.”

She said that U.S. Postal Service imagery showed that her new driver’s license was supposed to be in Monday’s mail. “Our regular USPS driver was not on his route yesterday, but a nice other gentleman dropped off my ballot and a package (but no driver’s license) just after 8 p.m.

“This morning, minutes ago, a neighbor on her morning walk brought my driver’s license to my door,” the reader said and added, that appeared that it had been run over several times. The good Samaritan told the resident, that she had found the license unwrapped and in the street.

“I’m sure that acts of kindness have been plentiful with the recent weather but the amount of saved time and effort to replace the license, and her genuine kindness was such a rainbow in this recent storm I felt the need to share.”

The resident said that it was a woman that she had never seen or met before, but “it just made my day.”

CTN is happy she shared her story. We need more kindness in this world.
