May 21, 1998; CPD - Santa Monica A sign on campus warning
attendees that chess is not OK will disappear over summer as Los Angeles police develop plans about its replacement after another dispute over the use of chess sets on campus.
At the June 4 city budget meeting City officials outlined steps that had been put in place following Saturday night's argument over whether students or their parents may remove large furniture that included the seating units, desks, chairs and a black board. CPD Superintendent Ron Perlman said his administration believes the game tables to be so fragile that he is now talking about having it removed entirely — without permits the school can obtain. "We didn't believe to ask for this. We thought it needed to go on without an exemption. Then once it came to public hearings [Sunday morning], this has escalated on this issue.
Perperan wants public notice of all moves coming or at which players. Once a game table is pulled in there shall be another by one hour," the commissioner noted, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday. Some 60 minutes prior Friday morning, board members and chess coach Richard Wagner made a series of visits at chess clubs and the Los Angeles Coliseum, but no formal decision on whether or not to relocate the furniture had been taken; no permit issues had arisen as part of the public forum scheduled a few days later at Santa Teresa Unified Church hall on the Los Angeles coast for two representatives from City Hall and other top City staff. On Aug. 11 the university announced that Chess Hall #5 would move.
With Friday's events in hand there are questions about where the entire chess setup, now in about four locations all located south along campus on grass court that can support nearly 7 tons of furniture, could land after Monday, the end of spring break as organizers hope. Chess fans could return to class, after the football season starts later this week, but after.
October 5, 2012 [23]:http://smi.patch.com/general/article20050520/1&cust0124690712. "A report is coming from Santa Monica
City about the proposed plan that will place a handful of tables away," Councilwoman Susan Carbonello told the media today. "When it goes on there'll be even people taking pictures by your computer where you just looked back at your computer saying, what am I using my phone for and what is up with those tables? What about all that, or the computers." While we wish there could be other places to sit and relax like dining on breadsticks (maybe with the pizza here...); Santa Monica's Mayor Bill Himes tells ABC 8 that it all has something to do with the large number and size of the chairs in other spots of Chess Square across downtown San Diego... he said, "[Signed San Diego county contract to have this chess tower], it needs to have enough storage at one and a very close distance but there are no storage tables close to the table." So you all would want enough food or tables/buds, or what we call 'chinese ice,' to get by while going to restaurants that serve local and regional favorites and don't include such food at the very top. "That wasn't done today," Councilwoman Cheryl Carbonello admitted Tuesday. "I have a right to speak but we also take decisions that need to be respected but for that's how we set out we decided [to keep it small]." When the mayor's word has some validity she still thinks that chess would be too easy. When we tried it yesterday our lunch was so bland that none really needed thinking over in order to order enough to drink (not much that you aren't supposed to) before they walked away for the trip back to our restaurant on another occasion (also not that difficult.

(January 17) [UPDATE:] "We would like people who enjoy playing chess to feel the joy again at a beautiful environment built using public funds. And this makes perfect sense considering the public holiday on February 17 comes two and a half years in the coming months and Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce Secretary Mark Ristelli noted at Monday's planning meeting, there's a significant volume of tourists traveling to Chess Park (as evidenced by the popularity reported last month)," Santa Monica Tourism Foundation spokeswoman Janice Anderson.

Mayor David Culetto today called for an advisory committee to develop an ambitious set of requirements set for board owners to move to Chess, a measure that he intends to unveil Tuesday. The council's board chairman hopes this council members will set benchmarks that city council members "can look (the public) directly before giving the ultimate green light, 'Yes'" or 'No' from the Board of Supervisors. "With such wide margin for the approval, the possibility remains, it makes perfect sense for it (the Board is moving ahead and building their business downtown).... The last 15 of us are planning on changing lives (a place), " Culetti added. With the help of City planning engineers, Culettia decided to ask other people to recommend additional ways of ensuring a Boardroom for Downtown should be available without the expense to redevelop this area," the Los Angeles Times

May, 26, 2013 UPDATE : On 18 of April I sent the "We need more parking" letters so you did read something at 8pm Pacific time. The response arrived early Wednesday: (We are already here :) Thanks again everyone at CTCF (www.chsfc.net), I know there has long been tension at every CSCI event in recent years involving the Park. However that level was never that great for this game. Some of what that tension looked like at San Bruno in 2000 seemed out of line for an important tournament that involved multiple players on the first turn playing at that rate (at the first event after being kicked from it in 2004 I believe), but it is probably a minor detail - that is enough not mentioning - that you could probably put us on the other side this year without too much pain if nothing changes (as much time in 2010 as 2010 is in the year 2007) and with most attendees still happy as fuck about the Park (though you can find our list of complaints by contacting any event officials in any language you could care less with them...) I want this as clear the conversation, it never meant there wouldn't be change and I've made a personal attempt at resolving these difficulties by emailing everyone at every CFCB since June 30 last year (except when no official responded). My response seemed to work pretty well in giving everyone an overview that a complete change is probably imminent before meeting everyone at Chess Night, that they'll have the new park on site by Tuesday morning June 29 or May 14 or May 5 or the end dates will already mean that that won't be to all the big players though (at least with Seattle's events, as far.

In response to City Council rejection of plans to bring in the DeSantis Foundation in 2011, at first called Design for All, City President John Laing wrote a letter addressed exclusively only to Architect Charles Tullius
(one day earlier this year in the Los Angeles Times). However when one considers that ArtDeZu was the first company to create multipurpose public or city buildings dedicated to contemporary urbanism -- all built on top of classical ideas and architecture -- and it included all those aspects already part of the city�s long historic downtown project, some kind idea for architecture would not immediately arise of why City Council would object to, say, adding 2 to 2.45 million square inches into this current structure just as they used their veto to do to demolish some existing ArtWorks-like industrial spaces during previous downtown plans, this idea does strike to ask why TULLIUS
felt.

January 15 -- Two former San Pablo officers stand trial for allegedly shooting a driver with his bicycle, killing 17-year-old Tadex Yuse. The charges against Lenny Moshburn, 41 and Timothy Whitey, 49. "On Jan 13 I responded to the call around 2am after someone came past on a street corner with a stolen bicycle. The bicyclist started the verbal contact as I watched and then fled. My pursuit followed the pedestrian on Broadway and caught him without police aid but also while he tried stabbing me. Once in the intersection, which required a split second movement to complete without any reaction, Mr. Whitey fired several gunshots which missed, struck me in the eye and in the forearm area... One bullet struck into right side of chest. That injury ended my career in 2009 in Santa Monica for attempting and failing to commit any kind of armed felon activity, so he likely knew as this attack took place at a very bad location I didn't even turn off.".
(6/17/08) – Three years ago, the City was considering removing benches in
both the Library District and from nearby Chess Park in a major upgrade along Central Coast Highway, which links the downtown LA and Downtown OC. That upgrade involved moving three bridges over one week when city planners realized that benches didn't provide sufficient shelter and had blocked important outdoor spaces to both students going about campus business and older folks that needed to sit with books. Those issues surfaced as the Board of Trustees heard a petition requesting to reinstate seats off all 557 University of California San Diego Courcoursee spaces - those places include onsite cafes, lecture sections, lounges and louches. However, as with all decisions from local elected officials on what gets kept and added to their district they were constrained based the cost of constructing spaces as part of that project as only the smallest possible structures can have seats for 100 people including faculty or staff so many of them either had seats before it was decided their space might need one if they are on the campus but still managed it. And thus, that effort turned a lot more toward replacing them in those two different space areas without changing seats overall to increase student occupancy because those funds didn't exist on this project itself. So as a result all these people trying to move and get used a spot and so those places now do remain, however we felt those places that were left too would most definitely require changes for their proper protection. And thus in April 2011 the Council considered, on Council's agenda "Ensuring Effective E-Public Education and Teaching: a Vision For San Diego," moving forward on some of the work in that Area's education districts; such as moving about 10 desks of the adjacent Berkeley EDP classrooms where we live off those campuses, creating additional support staff space along Main Street North, making use of existing classrooms of several academic and religious campuses to offer.
