By Gary Walker Westsiders who are in opposition to a Los Angeles International Airport modernization plan that would move its northernmost runway 260 feet towards Westchester and Playa del Rey erupted in cheers when Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Westchester) encouraged her constituents and their supporters to strongly consider suing Los Angeles World Airports at a May 4 community meeting held in the wake of a largely unpopular vote by the Los Angeles City Council.

The council voted 10-3 April 30 in favor of LAWA’s Specific Plan Amendment Study and two alternatives, including Alternative 1, which authorizes separating the airport’s north runways and constructing a center taxiway between them. Councilman Bill Rosendahl, who represents Westchester, was one of the three nay votes.

More than 100 people attended the May 4 community meeting to plan their next strategy in the aftermath of the council vote. The overarching message of the rally was that the participants’ fierce opposition to the airport’s runway separation strategy remains unbowed and they are getting ready for the next phase of their battle with LAWA.

THE FIGHT’S STILL ON - Westside residents opposed to a Los Angeles World Airports plan met in Westchester to discuss strategy for battling a northernmost runway move by the airport. One such strategy raised was the possibility of litigation.

“The fight’s not over... the fight’s not over because I think we know our way into the courtroom,” Waters said to thunderous applause.

“What I like about Westchester is this: Westchester is an organized community, not afraid to use its resources to get justice

for the community.

“We need to tell LAWA that we’re not victims; you’re not fighting helpless people, we know what to do,” she added.

“So, ladies and gentlemen, I’m saying to you here and now based on that vote that was taken at the City Council, ‘let’s

dig in our pockets, let’s get our money together, let’s go to court and let’s fight.’”

Inglewood Mayor and former Santa Monica Police Chief James Butts also expressed his city’s opposition to the airport plan.

Council offers motion to fund second light rail stop

By Gary Walker Once considered an afterthought on the Crenshaw/LAX Corridor Light Rail Line, the proposed Hindry Avenue station in Westchester has had some influential supporters come to its aid this year in an attempt to revive hope for a second Westchester stop on the mass transit line.

Los Angeles Councilman Bill Rosendahl, who represents Westchester, joined his council colleague, Bernard Parks, in seconding a motion May 1 that would direct bond funding towards constructing a station near the Inglewood border on Hindry Avenue, which has long been the hope of east Westchester residents.

“The March 15, 2013 report to the city administration office relative to

Measure R Local Return Programming states that the Department of Transportation estimates that $259 million in bond proceeds could be available to combine with $54.5 million in cash for a total of $313.5 million between fiscal years 2014-18,” the motion states.

The city would have $227 million in bond proceeds generated if Metro issued debt for the city and assuming that at least $200 million in bond proceeds could be generated, the city would be able to access $55 million in new revenue, according to the Public Resources Advisory Group, one of Los Angeles’ financial advisors.

The motions asks the city transportation committee for an amendment that would include an

instruction for the city’s administrative officer to present a proposal to bond against future Measure R revenues to obtain a $40 million contribution from the city to build an underground station at Leimert Park and use $15 million toward a Hindry station.

Currently, there is one station at the end of the light rail line in Westchester at Century and Aviation boulevards, but light rail advocates have lobbied for an additional station closer to the eastern portion of Westchester.

The 8.5-mile light rail project will run between the Metro Expo Line on Exposition Boulevard and the Metro Green Line. It will serve the Crenshaw Corridor, Inglewood, Westchester, and Los Angeles International Airport (Continued on page 9)

Keep direct mail coming

Re: “Election experts examine feasibility of halting political mailers,” (Argonaut, May 2).

This obsession with some to eliminate direct mail campaign literature is wrong-headed, illegal and probably unconstitutional as well.

Direct mail is a multi-billion dollar industry that employs hundreds of thousands of people while providing an effective and tested way to touch consumers as well as voters.

While considered intrusive by some, private firms such as Valpak or Money Mailer not only provide a needed service, but also employ printers, paper distributors, graphic designers, list mail companies as well as providing the United States Postal Service with hundreds of millions in bulk postage revenue.

The direct mail industry both private and

political employs the services of good-paying jobs and union shops who depend on this revenue to earn a living.

But more importantly, the frequency employed by the direct mail industry is part of a strategy that works, that gives companies a leg up on the competition as well as serving as a communication vehicle for political candidates of all persuasions.

One of the original intents of the United States Postal Service was to mail information such as newspapers for free. In a time where voters complain about candidates and campaigns, how else can these elected officials and candidates for public office communicate with the voting public?

In a previous Argonaut article, opponents to direct mail campaigns cited Internet and email usage by individuals such as Los

ONE MORE REASON WHY

WE

Angeles Councilman Bill Rosendahl as a viable alternative. What those critics don’t mention is that Rosendahl was a proficient user of direct mail messaging in both of his successful campaigns in 2005 and again in 2009.

In 2013, candidate Mike Bonin (Rosendahl’s chief of staff) who successfully succeeded his boss in Council District 11, was a huge proponent of direct mail as well. In fact the largest expenditure in that race to succeed Rosendahl was on printed, direct mailers to targeted registered voters.

Like telemarketing, which is equally intrusive to many, a “do not call” option is in place for those who don’t want to entertain sales or survey requests during breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are safeguards for consumers who want to avoid such unsolicited mailed activity.

In the case Rowan v. Post Office, prohibitory orders can be requested removing themselves from such direct mail offerings.

Let’s be clear: companies and candidates don’t want to disturb or contact those who have no interest in such solicitations.

The cost of mailings is prohibitive and the return on investment is about two percent in terms of converting prospects into buyers or votes. Political candidates and companies are always looking for faster, cheaper and better ways to communicate with voters and consumers.

One way to satisfy the needs of those who see this as an environmental issue can lobby the Los Angeles City Council to empower the city clerk to create a “do not mail” component on voter registration forms as well as giving voters a way to opt off registration lists that are also used for jury duty.

A “do not mail” component if popular with voters will force candidates to consider other methods of contact such as social media or old fashioned door-to-door campaigning.

There is a fine line between privacy, public information and the industry of direct mail,

which is being threatened and maligned to say nothing of the potential lost revenues of the United States Postal Service.

Marina visioning process is a ‘sham’

Re: “County officials solicit ideas for new planning vision for the Marina,” (Argonaut, May 2).

The county officials soliciting ideas for a “new” planning vision in Marina del Rey is a sham. This meeting was supposed to cover what the visioning process entailed but failed to identify to the attending residents what parcels were on the table to discuss.

In other words, what parts of the Marina are not in current, long-term contracts with the lessees that our county residents can have input on? Is this just about Burton Chace Park, the Promenade, Mothers Beach, Fisherman’s Village – what areas is the Department of Regional Planning offering input on? Gina Natoli ducked that question twice and eventually muttered in a soft voice that those attending the meeting had to come back for the second meeting to find out what was behind door number 2. The first meeting was a waste of time and a large amount of taxpayer dollars because nobody in the room knew (except county officials and the lessees) what they could have input on.

This “new” process involving public input or disenfranchisement is not new at all. The general theme of the meeting centered around a consistent comment heard from nearly every speaker - the county has taken plenty of public input in the past, but has simply disregarded it. There wasn’t one resident speaker who was in favor of the current or future development plans in the Marina.

(Continued from page 3)

For the ever-absent Supervisor Don Knabe to state “I want it to be friendlier to those who live in the neighborhood as well as those who visit the Marina,” it is clear that either a systemwide incompetence has occurred or the public is simply being fooled by its decision-makers. The fact that “those who visit the Marina” are not even being invited to the visioning speaks to the validity of this public process.

The constant decimation of the recreational facility in Marina del Rey and change of its original intent by massing more non-water dependent residential development is clearly not in the interests of the neighborhood, the visitors, the boating residents, our coastal wildlife or the surrounding neighborhoods.

Candidate opposition is ‘too little, too late’

Re: “Mayoral hopefuls share views on issues impacting Westside,” (Argonaut, May 2).

And where was any mention of the biggest issue facing Argonaut readers - the Los Angeles International Airport expansion?

Prior to the Los Angeles City Council vote, mayoral candidate Wendy Greuel said she was “undecided” on the north runway proposal, but with her labor backing can we be anything but surprised if she would vote in favor? Candidate Eric Garcetti, thanks for your “no” vote, but it was too little, too late.

Once again, the spend anything to get ephemeral “jobs” crowd has won the day... If you liked the 405 Freeway carpool lane construction, wait till you get to enjoy the Lincoln Boulevard “re-alignment...”

Start with resurfacing of Marina corridor

Re: “County officials solicit ideas for new

planning vision for the Marina,” (Argonaut, May 2).

According to the above story Fourth District County Supervisor Don Knabe envisions a boardwalk and electric cars someday in Marina del Rey, among other ideas. No doubt county officials and locals have no shortage of ideas for future development.

Knabe says he hopes that we get some really good ideas.

I respectfully submit that a re-surfacing of Admiralty Way be put on top of the list.

Except for a small stretch of said street near the Marina City Club, Admiralty Way is in abysmal/primitive condition.

Just imagine the impression new visitors will get of Marina del Rey as they drive along Admiralty Way. Dennis Schachter Mar Vista

Not much left to envision

Re: “County officials solicit ideas for new planning vision for the Marina,” (Argonaut, May 2).

The county’s “planning for a new Marina vision” was recognized as farce by more than 100 residents and boaters. The supervisors have solicited comments and “visions” for years yet ignored them in order to give away public access and public land to developers.

We are seeing the supervisors’ vision in the new and ugly behemoth on Via Marina, a warren of small but expensive apartments, 544 of them. Two more buildings of equal or greater size have also been envisioned within two blocks of the first one.

One builder, Neptune-Legacy, has been given our park on Parcel FF in order to add 136 apartments to its 500. With this “vision,” residents and visitors will no longer see the water and sail boats that make Marina del Rey so delightful but will have about 2,000 additional cars. Many seniors cannot walk around a boardwalk of Supervisor Don Knabe’s fashioning despite the high property tax we pay.

A superior vision is Los Angeles mayoral candidate Eric Garcetti’s, allowing “people to have a green space close to where they live” and should lead to revocation of the county’s amendment to give away Parcel FF, our funded and promised park within walking distance of the thousands of residences along Via Marina.

Nor do we like the county’s vision of a hotel in the midst of an entirely residential neighborhood on a wetland with a tiny, walkthrough park not large enough for recreation or picnics.

How about a few trees, Knabe and Gina Natoli? That’s about all you’ve left us to “envision.” It’s a new give-away of federally mandated recreation, water access, a discarded Local Coastal Program. It’s greed, not green!

Protections for veterans

Re: “Broken promises” (Argonaut letters, May 2).

The letter writer shouldn’t ridicule Rep. Henry Waxman for not showing up at important environmental meetings in his district. He is just too busy helping homeless veterans at the Westwood Veterans Administration facility.

In his 38 years as a United States congressman he’s done everything possible to prevent homeless/medical needing veterans from having a home at the Westwood facility; assisting leases to occur for Brentwood private schools, leases for school athletic fields,

golf courses, dog parks, university baseball stadiums, public parking lots for nearby national golf tournaments and assisting 30 1930s-era lobotomy prisons buildings to be declared “historical” so nothing can be touched.

But now things have changed and Waxman and his friend, Sen. Diane Feinstein are very busy renovating Lobotomy Building 209 for $20 million, so 65 homeless veterans can have a home to heal after war. The reason they both are pushing this project is because there’s a lawsuit against the Westwood VA for violating the Deed of 1888 (which created the Westwood VA campus) and the rights of 6,000 to 8,000 homeless veterans for not providing a home.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which is handling the lawsuit along with support from the Annenberg Foundation, feels that they can prove the deed has been violated and that both Waxman and Feinstein should have been protecting veterans rather than catering to nearby wealthy homeowner communities.

Personally, I’m disappointed that the $20 million couldn’t be spent more efficiently. At over $300,000 per veteran at #209, a “Tent City” could be created for 1,000 veterans with beds, showers, barbers, health care review and maybe some job opportunities direction.

So letter writer, I’m sorry, but #209 needs to be finished before the lawsuit gets ruled on. Westwood VA needs to prove that they’re obeying the deed and taking care of all those homeless vets.

Airport police union expresses staffing concerns during LAX modernization

By Vince Echavaria The leader of a group representing Los Angeles airport police has argued that police staffing levels have dropped during a time when Los Angeles International Airport is undergoing a massive modernization effort and when public safety needs to be kept a top priority.

Marshall McClain, president of the Los Angeles Airport Peace Officers Association, cited a report by the state Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) finding that the number of proprietary, or sworn police officers, at Los Angeles

World Airports has decreased to 497 officers currently from 514 in 2010. LAWA is the city agency that operates LAX as well as LA/ Ontario International and Van Nuys airports.

The Airport Police union has been troubled by the reduction in sworn officers as it has occurred while LAX is in the midst of a major overhaul, including the construction of the new Tom Bradley International Terminal, where 18 new gates are being added, McClain said. The airport, which has been renovating several terminals and expanding dining and retail spaces, is continuing to see

increases in passenger numbers, which McClain believes makes it imperative that law enforcement and safety remain a top priority.

McClain has also expressed concern at a report by a Los Angeles Employee Relations Board fact-finder that claimed that LAWA has a budget surplus in excess of $300 million but it under-resources and under-pays rank-and-file airport officers compared with contracted police officers at the airport department.

The airport police union has not had a new contract in nearly three years and not received salary increases in five years, McClain

claimed.

“It just seems like LAWA missed the memo here because they’re sparing no expense on the expansion efforts but when it comes down to equipment and staffing and everything else, they pinch every penny they can,” McClain said.

The employee relations board fact-finder’s report recommended that LAWA offer a 9 percent wage increase to the airport police union, with 6 percent being retroactive, claiming that proprietary airport officers have been paid less than airport contracted Los Angeles Police Department officers.

McClain’s group charges that LAWA has over-used contracted LAPD officers at the airports for work that could be done by airport officers.

Airport police personnel are not funded by the city but rather through passenger fees and other airport-related fees.

Airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles said that the $300 millionestimate from the employee relations board fact-finder’s report is in fact not a surplus for LAWA. The $300 million-figure is what LAWA projected as its operating revenue after expenses in the 2012 bond official statement to the investment firm and was identified before the agency paid its debt services and other reserve requirements, Castles explained.

LAWA is currently in negotiations with the peace officers association regarding its contract renewal, Castles said. Asked about the claims of pay raises and police staffing levels, Castles said the airport agency cannot comment on labor negotiations.

“As a matter of policy, LAWA and the city of Los Angeles do not discuss labor negotiations publicly,” she said.

McClain said proprietary staffing levels will continue to be a concern due to retirements and other officers who may seek to join other departments with better salary and benefits.

“It’s going to be a systemic problem here in the near future, right at the time when (the airport is) expanding,” McClain said.

Echoing statements by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, McClain believes that having more officers helps with combating crime and keeping crime rates in the city as low as they’ve ever been.

“We can’t react to this, we have to be proactive and stay in front of it,” he said.

The police union president added that they’ve also had to fight for other resources, including new equipment and replacement police cars. In response to claims by McClain that LAWA has not kept public safety a top priority during the modernization effort, Castles responded, “that’s definitely at

odds with the hundreds of millions of dollars we invest in airport security every year.”

The airport agency has showcased new security-related equipment at holiday travel news conferences and is implementing a new multi-million dollar surveillance camera system, Castles said.

In an interview with The Argonaut late last year LAWA Executive Director Gina Marie Lindsey said the airport has a “very robust commitment to security.”

“We are always on a quest to be better than the day before.

We do not in any way become complacent about, ‘OK we’re really good, we’ve got it handled;’ we’re always leaning into what can we do better. We have over twice as many law enforcement officers as any other airport of our category. We have very strong connections with the other agencies that work counterterrorism, so that multijurisdictional partnership is one of our major strengths,” Lindsey said.

McClain said the union remains hopeful that they can reach a contract agreement with LAWA that will help address their concerns. §

PARTNERS – Rep. Maxine Waters (D- Westchester) stands next to Denny Schneider (left) at a Westchester meeting where the congresswoman signaled her support for a legal challenge to Los Angeles World Airports’ runway proposal.

am with Westchester, I am with Playa del Rey, I oppose moving this runway.’

“There is one thing that you can do right now to stop the movement of this runway and it is four words: vote for Eric Garcetti,” he told the audience.

Greuel’s campaign has stated the candidate wants to examine the matter more closely.

Playa del Rey resident Craig Eggers is happy that Waters, who also represents his beachside community, has taken a very defined, unflinching stance against the runway plan. But he and others are disheartened that another Westside federal legislator, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Venice), has sided with the airport.

“Knowing your strong stance concerning environmental justice for residents adjacent to Santa Monica Airport who are impacted by excessive air and noise pollution, when will you take a stand regarding the exact same issues in support of your constituents in Playa del Rey?” Eggers, the chair of the Neighborhood Council of WestchesterPlaya’s Airport Relations Committee, said he asked Waxman recently.

The congressman could not be reached for comment.

Westchester and Playa del Rey residents have been joined by their contemporaries from other Westside communities, including Venice and Mar Vista, as well as many from the South Bay to oppose the airport’s proposal.

This, according to Schneider, proves that opposition to the runway move goes far beyond Playa del Rey and Westchester.

“It has never been just about us,” he said. “That’s how LAWA has tried to portray us – that we’re just a bunch of NIMBYs (not in my back yard).”

Lindsey said the runway move could have been worse.

“The (Federal Aviation Administration) recommended the runways be moved an additional 350 feet apart, which would have further encroached on Westchester,” she noted.

“We were not shooting for the moon here.

“We tried very hard to scrub the numbers to only identify the runway separation necessary for safe and efficient movements for all of the aircraft in most of the operating conditions.”

Waters, who earlier in the day attended a Cinco de Mayo celebration in her district, drew a David-and-Goliath-like comparison between the Mexican fight for independence against the French Army and the latter day struggle against LAWA by the contingent of local homeowners and their supporters.

Celebrated as Cinco de Mayo (May 5) in the United States, the 1862 Battle of Puebla was an inspirational victory for the undermanned Mexican Army against the occupying French forces, who were considered the superior army.

“The Mexicans had very little to resist with,” the congresswoman told the audience. “They didn’t have guns. They didn’t have tanks. They didn’t have much of anything, but the French Army had everything.

“But guess what? They beat them back and the Mexicans won,” Waters continued. “So the lesson is this: if you’re committed, if you’re determined, if you believe in what you do, no matter how big the opposition is you can win.”

Last month Schneider’s wife, Nancy, who was equally involved in the runway fight over the years as her husband, passed away. He said giving up now would dishonor her memory.

“Nan would be rolling over in her grave if she knew (how the council voted),” he said §

common sense reasons for building the station,” said Kennedy, a former Rosendahl field deputy. “Westchester doesn’t have a station, as Century/ Aviation will be very expensive parking for the airport. Many residences and businesses are within walking distance with quick access from the 405 (freeway) and bus lines, (there is) a 2.5-mile gap between La Brea and Florence avenues and Century and Aviation boulevards and (it is projected to) cost only $10-15 million.”

Kennedy echoed a familiar refrain regarding the Century and Aviation station, which is within the Westchester border. Some residents have stated that it does not qualify as a true light rail stop because it is at the end of the Crenshaw/LAX line.

He also feels that a second Westchester station will “encourage beautification and community revitalization, and many more community benefits.”

In 2011 Rosendahl’s office created an online petition to back a motion by county Fourth District Supervisor Don Knabe for transit authorities to include a stop at Hindry Avenue in the construction bids for the light rail line.

“Supervisor Knabe’s motion to include the Hindry/Westchester station in the upcoming Crenshaw/LAX Corridor project construction bids would provide for a future Westchester station if it can be designed and

constructed within the project budget,” the petition stated. “The motion would also keep open the opportunity to pay for a station from sources outside the Metro budget, should funding become available.

“A Hindry station could spur the type of urban renewal that would bring vast economic and community benefits to this under-utilized corridor in Westchester,” the online petition continued. “Further, it would close an unusually long gap of 3.5 miles between stations in the currently approved project.”

Prior to countywide redistricting in 2010, Knabe represented all of Westchester.

Second District Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas represents both Leimert Park and Westchester east of Lincoln Boulevard, but has publicly lobbied only for the former.

In an amendment to Knabe’s motion, Ridley-Thomas asked that a second Westchester station be included as a “bid option” during the construction procurement phase and be conditional upon a Leimert Park underground station.

Rosendahl thanked Parks for bringing the motion forward.

“I appreciate that Bernard appreciated our desire for another station in Westchester,” he said. “I’m very optimistic about this.” §

Westchester resident Judy Citreon was elated to hear about the renewed interest in a station near her home in east Westchester.

“It would be wonderful for people here in our neighborhood and local businesses to be able to access the mass transit system that is going to go all over Los Angeles,” she said.

Rosendahl said having another station at Westchester will allow his constituents to travel throughout Los Angeles without using their vehicles, as Citreon said.

“This means that a lot of people don’t have to get into their cars any more to go to (LAX),” the councilman said.

Rosendahl is the second legislator with local ties to explore funding for the Hindry station.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Westchester) is also seeking to help her constituents with a second station through a federal grant, which she announced March 13.

The Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Grants for Job Creation Act, which was announced March 13, would provide $1 billion over a two-year period for transportation infrastructure, including light rail.

“These funds can certainly help with (stations in Leimert Park and Westchester),” the congresswoman told The Argonaut. “With these grants, cities and counties can apply for more funding for the transportation projects that they have identified.”

In recent months, there have been discussions about an extension into LAX. Airport officials as well as Rosendahl support a direct extension to LAX from the Crenshaw Line.

Playa del Rey resident Jim Kennedy is also in favor of another Westchester stop.

By Gary Walker Despite a large contingent of airport interests and their supporters who protested against a hike in the price for landing at the city-owned airport, the Santa Monica City Council voted in favor of increasing the landing fees for aircraft at a special April 30 meeting that was dedicated to airport matters.

In addition, members of the city’s staff and Santa Monica City Attorney Marsha Moutrie gave the council updates on an 18- month project that city leaders embarked upon in late December 2011 regarding what they and Santa Monica residents would like to see at the site of Santa Monica Airport when its agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration expires two years from now.

Beginning Aug. 1, the new landing charges will be $5.48 per 1,000 pounds of aircraft, and these new price guidelines could increase up to $5.89 per 1,000 pounds of aircraft by 2016.

Councilman Tony Vazquez said the city has been subsidizing the landings for pilots at the airport for years.

Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl was the first speaker to address the council. Rosendahl, who has advocated vociferously for closing the airport as well as moving its flight schools, repeated his desire at the special meeting.

“I support the closure. I think that we have a strategy that can work and I would like you to explore that possibility with (the Los Angeles) city attorney,” the councilman said.

Rosendahl, who lives in and represents nearby Mar Vista, said having an airport in such close proximity to residential neighborhoods is unrealistic.

“It’s like taking a motorcycle and putting it into a playground,”

he asserted.

The city-owned airport runway is less than 300 feet away from residential neighborhoods.

Opponents of the fees expressed their disagreement with the proposal in a variety of ways.

Edward Storey, a pilot and board member of the Friends of Santa Monica Airport, said the community has been told that this is a matter of losing city revenues.

“The airport is the destination for the economic roadway in the sky,” he said. “The raising of landing fees is madness.”

Joseph Justice of Justice Aviation, a flight school at the airport, said there had not been “adequate and timely” consideration of raising the landing fees. “This was rammed down our throats as ‘take it or leave it,’” he said.

Kim Davidson, who has a repair shop at the airport, said his 10 employees would suffer if the fees were hiked.

“When the planes go, we go too,” he predicted. “It’s gonna affect our businesses and my employees.”

Prior to the vote on landing fees, Moutrie said some residents had expressed concern about the city and the FAA engaging in “secret deals” behind closed doors when the parties met in Washington D.C. “No deals were made or struck with the FAA,” the city attorney told the council. “But we did discuss with the FAA that the residents are expecting change.” Moutrie said the city’s choices for what they would like to do with the airport after 2015 are limited due to previous agreements.

She told the council that many residents have expressed creating a public park at the site of the airport if it is eventually closed. Moutrie called it “an

appealing idea.

“However, the city lacks the funding for a park,” she said.

The date of the expiration of the city’s agreement with the FAA remains a point of contention between the two parties. While city leaders continue to cite 2015 as the date the agreement expires, the federal government has another date in mind.

“In the FAA’s view, the city is obligated to keep Santa Monica Airport open through 2023 under assurances it gave in exchange for federal Airport Improvement Program grants,” FAA spokesman Ian Gregor told The Argonaut. “The FAA also believes that the city is separately obligated to operate Santa Monica Airport beyond 2023 because it acquired the land on which the airport is located costfree from the federal government in 1948 under an instrument of transfer pursuant to the Surplus Property Act.” Moutrie addressed that line of contention between the two governmental entities and reiterated that Santa Monica continues to believe that the lease agreement will terminate in 2015.

Gregor indicated that his agency is determined to adhere to its own timetable regarding the termination of the contract with the city and expects Santa Monica officials to do so as well.

“The FAA is fully committed to preserving the federal investment and keeping this airport open and operating, including specific performance of these obligations,” he said.

Moutrie confirmed that FAA officials have indicated that they might consider a legal challenge to the 2015 date. §

St. Bernard High opens doors to L.A. Sparks for training facility

By Vince Echavaria The St. Bernard High School gym has played host to a wide range of basketball talent over the years, but that has now extended to the professional level.

The Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA have begun practicing at the gym after announcing a new partnership with St. Bernard High that allows the professional athletes to use the Playa del Rey campus as their training facility.

Under the agreement, St. Bernard will serve as the Sparks’ home away from the STAPLES Center – where the team plays home games – providing a base to hold practices, scrimmages and workouts in a community near where many players live.

In exchange for use of the school, the Sparks have agreed to contribute several improvements to the athletic facilities including renovating the all-sports weight room with new equipment, upgrading the girls’ locker room and refinishing the gym floor.

“It’s very exciting for us,” St. Bernard Co-Principal Dr. Cynthia Hoepner said.

“What is great about this partnership is the fact that the L.A. Sparks is an organization committed to quality, excellence and winning, just like the St. Bernard Vikings.”

The athletic program enhancements are taking place as the school is preparing

for several upgrades and renovations on the academic side, including a new science laboratory, renovated library, college center, computer lab and new wireless Internet service.

“We’re doing so much already to improve our academic facilities that it’s just a bonus that they’re coming in to enhance some facilities in our gym, the girls’ locker room and the weight room,” Hoepner said. “Between what we’re doing already and what they’re going to do for us in terms of the sports, the school is going to look and feel like a different place in just a matter of a couple months; it’s great timing for us.”

The partnership comes as St. Bernard recently announced the hiring of Michelle Greco, a former UCLA standout and WNBA champion with the Seattle Storm, as the new head girls basketball coach.

Greco, who will replace former Coach Bo Corona, will look to continue the success of the Viking girls, who earned a co-Del Rey League title and reached the Southern California regional final this past season.

Sparks Executive Vice President and General Manager Penny Toler said the organization is excited to have the Playa del Rey school as its new practice home.

“The campus provides the perfect environment for our players, coaches and staff to practice and train throughout the

season,” Toler said. “We look forward to bringing our St. Bernard family their first WNBA Championship.”

St. Bernard Athletic Director Chad Nammack noted that the Sparks previously held practices at a facility at Los Angeles Southwest College that was in need of renovation and they looked at several area high schools for a new training headquarters before deciding on St. Bernard. Nammack called the partnership a “real boon for our athletic program,” saying it’s not very often where a professional sports organization will be running its practices in a high school environment.

“I think it’s such a positive thing for us because (the students) will be able to learn from them and see how a professional organization runs their program,” Nammack said.

On the first school day where the Sparks were on campus, many students had the chance to watch the pro athletes at work, an experience that can highlight strong work ethic and achieving goals, Nammack said.

“To talk to kids about work ethic and to see it in a professional organization like that and see how much effort they have to give to play at that level, it’s a really good learning experience for the kids,” he said.

“I don’t think there is a better model for

our kids in learning about the real world and how they can see what it takes to be a professional at that level.”

Under the initial year-long agreement, the Sparks will have access to the high school facility from 9 a.m. until noon each day. Hoepner and Nammack don’t anticipate a conflict with use of the gym and training area, as the school’s teams primarily play in the afternoon and at night.

“We were really clear with our communication how we were going to manage our time and their time, and on how we can prevent as few conflicts as possible with our regularly scheduled program,” Hoepner explained.

The WNBA team and St. Bernard have also discussed ways in which they can partner for community activities, including give-aways of game tickets and hosting a “Purple and Gold Night.”

Having the pro team on campus is a “great way to draw in the community,” the principal said.

“It’s a great community builder for St. Bernard to extend the relationships with the families that live around here and the families that go to school here,” she said.

“It’s been a great ride and a great year, and I think it’s only getting better; we’re just at the beginning of where we’re going and we could not be happier.” §

Q&A

What is the status of buyer purchasing power now?

A: The buyer purchasing power index (BPI) increased to 6.36 in April 2013. This score is up from 5.05 in March. However, BPI is down from the high scores experienced throughout 2012.

The April 2013 BPI represents a 6.36% year-over-year increase in mortgage funds available to today’s buyers. However, the recent rise in home prices has effectively neutralized buyers’ increased purchasing power. For sellers, conditions remain positive for some upward home price movement until later this year when pricing will likely trend flat.

The BPI is calculated using the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage (FRM) rate from Freddie Mac (Western region) and the median income in California.

A positive index number means buyers

can borrow more money this year than one year earlier.

A negative index figure translates to a reduced amount of mortgage funds available.

An index of zero means there was no yearover-year change in the amount a buyer can borrow. At a BPI of zero, homebuyers cannot purchase at higher prices than one year before unless they resort to adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs).

As BPI rises, a buyer can borrow more purchase-assist funds. In turn, they can acquire a higher priced home.

This week’s question was answered by the first tuesday Realty Publications, Copyright©2012, Inc., firsttuesdayJournal Online — P.O. Box 5707, Riverside, CA 92517.

By Geoff Maleman For the 30th year, the LAX Coastal Area Chamber of Commerce will recognize the contributions of teachers from local schools during the annual Teacher Eddy Awards Dinner.

This year’s event will begin at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 14 at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport, 5711 W. Century Blvd. in Westchester and will honor teachers from elementary school through the university level for their efforts in educating local young people.

The event, themed “Our Treasured Teachers,” will also recognize the 2013 Friends of Education, selected from the business and education community for their support of education in Westchester, Playa del Rey and Marina del Rey. “This is our version of the Oscars for our teachers,” said chamber President and CEO Christina Davis. “Teachers seldom get the recognition they deserve, but we want them to know how special they are.”

The teachers who will be honored this year include: Bertha Contreras-Marin, Carousel School; Shannon Seta, Cowan Avenue Elementary School; Tanasha Williamson, Kentwood Elementary School; Kelly Younger, Loyola Marymount University; Kristy Rocamora, Loyola Village Elementary and Magnet Center; Alice Miller and Linda Murata, Orville Wright Middle School; Harry Mott, Otis College of Art and Design; Karen Margerison, Paseo Del Rey Natural Science Magnet School; Rachael Henry, Playa Vista Elementary School; Megan Michelle Hanley, St. Anastasia School; Caroline Larouche Buck, St. Bernard High School; Eleanor Maguire, St. Jerome School; Melinda Smitley, Visitation School; Veianca Millet, Westchester Enriched Sciences Magnets; Lark Krug, Westchester Lutheran Church and School; Stephen Todd Young, Westport Heights Elementary School; and Emily Vlasic, Westside Innovative School House.

Each teacher will receive a crystal Eddy Award, made possible by a donation from Playa Vista. In addition, teachers and principals will be eligible for a series of prizes at the event.

Event sponsors include The William H. Hannon Foundation, Brookfield Residential/Playa

Vista, Concourse Concessions, Playa Venice Sunrise Rotary, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles World Airports and The Josephson Institute Character Counts.

Seats at the dinner are $55 per person and can be reserved by calling (310) 645-5151.

FIRE SERVICE RECOGNITION DAY To increase community awareness of fire department services, the Los Angeles Fire Department designates the second Saturday of each May as Fire Service Recognition Day. This year, LAFD will celebrate “Providing Exceptional Customer Service - Anytime, Anyplace” on Saturday, May 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

During the department’s 2013 open house, LAFD proudly highlights the commitment of Los Angeles firefighters in assuring the satisfaction of those they are sworn to serve.

Along with personal tours of a local fire station, the LAFD is hosting simultaneous

demonstrations and enhanced displays at Fire Station 5, 8900 Emerson Ave. in Westchester.

CERT TRAINING CLASS BEGINS SOON The Los Angeles Fire Department’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) in Westchester is hosting another event for the public to learn about what to do in an emergency like the earthquakes that have struck the local area recently. The class is free and the seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

The next seven-week session will begin on Monday, June 24, and will run through Aug. 5.

Classes are held from 7 to 9:30 p.m. on Mondays at Fire Station No. 5, 8900 S. Emerson Ave., in Westchester.

The lessons from this class are designed to equip citizens with basic training to effectively serve as first-responders to disaster or emergency situations.

We all know ‘The Big One’ is coming ... we should be prepared when it does.”

‘Storytelling memorial’ held for former Venice High coach, teacher Bill Fairbanks

COACH BILL FAIRBANKS

Bill Fairbanks, a former coach and longtime teacher at Venice High School, died peacefully in Santa Monica April 7. He was 77.

Born on May 8, 1935, in rural Spring Lake, Mich., Fairbanks was a U.S. Marine who patrolled the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in Korea before returning to Camp Pendleton in California as a Marine Corps drill instructor.

A graduate of UCLA in physical education/ kinesiology, he was hired to teach P.E. at Palms Junior High

School and later transferred to Venice High.

At Venice, Fairbanks coached basketball, baseball, golf and swimming and chaired the P.E. department. He was best known as a football coach who earned the respect of his players and colleagues.

Fairbanks proudly was a charter member of United Teachers Los Angeles. He married his “beautiful greeneyed lady,” Wendy, in 1972 and lovingly helped raise her son Erik Pedersen and her younger

sister Kellie Flanagan.

In addition to Wendy, Erik and Kellie, Fairbanks is survived by his sister-in-law Jill Flanagan; brother-in-law David Briley; daughter-in-law Susan Pedersen; niece Clara Fairbanks Flanagan Briley; and grandsons Ian, Tyler and Gavin Pedersen; brother Terry Flanagan and his sons, Terry and Pat. Because of his renowned ability for telling a story, a public “storytelling memorial” was held May 4 at the Venice High School auditorium, where hundreds of

past colleagues, students, players and friends shared stories and their love for Coach Fairbanks.

The Venice High Alumni Association has established a scholarship in his name.

Information about the scholarship and pictures from the storytelling can be found online at www.venicehighalumni.com.

The Gondolier Boosters have renamed their annual golf tournament to the Bill Fairbanks Gondo Golf Classic. This year’s tournament will be held on June 17 in Canyon Country.

Bike It! Walk It! Week observed at Santa Monica schools Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District students, parents, and staff are taking part in Bike It! Walk It! Week at local schools through May 10.

Bike It! Walk It! encourages school students and staff to leave the car at home and utilize alternative modes of transportation.

Approximately 30 percent of district students at 14 different schools participated in the event last fall, saving approximately 12,000 car trips, school officials

said.

This year, local officials were invited to show their support for the Safe Routes to School program by joining “walking school buses” to Roosevelt Elementary School and Will Rogers Learning Center, and “bike trains” of students and parents to Lincoln and John Adams middle schools.

The schools participating in the event Friday, May 10 include: Edison Language Academy, Grant Elementary, Franklin

Elementary, McKinley Elementary, John Adams Middle School, Juan Cabrillo Elementary and Will Rogers Learning Community.

Events at the four Safe Routes to School pilot project schools – Roosevelt Elementary, Lincoln Middle School, John Adams and Will Rogers – mark the culmination of the Car-Free Contest, a friendly competition geared to making walking and biking to school a healthy habit.

Students tracked trips made

to school by bike, walking, and transit, and the “car-free” miles counted towards monthly incentives.

The pilot project is managed by the city of Santa Monica in partnership with the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, and Parent-TeacherStudent Associations. Funding for the project has been provided

by Metro, the California Department of Transportation and the city of Santa Monica.

The goal of the project is

to help school-aged children become comfortable bicycling and walking to school.

Throughout the 2012-13 school year, a range of educational workshops, classes, fun events and contests have aimed to teach children and parents greater confidence in safe walking and bicycling, and raising awareness of the benefits of arriving at school by foot or by bike.

Professional Groundbreaking held for LMU Life Sciences building Directory One of the academic components of Loyola Marymount University’s master plan will soon begin to take shape.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held May 6 for the university’s new $110 million Life Sciences building, which will help sustain and increase the university’s reputation as a leader in science education into the 21st century, say LMU officials.

The facility’s underground parking garage will have 372 parking spaces.

Construction is expected to be completed in time for the 2015-16 academic year.

“This is an essential and remarkable moment in the life cycle of LMU,” said LMU President David W. Burcham.

“The Life Sciences building speaks to our hearts and our minds. It is infrastructure we need to continue the intimate learning that is the hallmark of an LMU education.”

The new building will form the center of what will become the Seaver College Complex,

A stretch of Olympic Boulevard in Santa Monica has received an artist’s touch.

Three bronze sculptures created by Herb Alpert have been placed in the east median on Olympic Boulevard at 26th Street in an effort to extend the artistic presence near Bergamot Station onto the busy thoroughfare.

The sculptures, which are from Alpert’s Black Totems series, are on loan from Alpert for one year. Alpert is a renowned musician, composer,

artist and philanthropist, whose foundation is located in Santa Monica.

His art pieces have been installed adjacent to the Bergamot Station Art Center and the future home of the Expo Line light rail station.

City officials say Alpert supports emerging artists in all mediums through the annual Alpert Award in the Arts, as well as creative development opportunities for young people, including a number of arts education initiatives.

During the city’s Bergamot Area public planning process, the community expressed a desire to call attention to the art activities at Bergamot Station during the Expo Line construction, and officials say the Alpert installation helps address that issue.

The Santa Monica Arts Commission approved the installation as a pilot project with the hope of initiating a future series of temporary installations in the Olympic median.

As a result, the team won $5,000 for SMC’s film program and $2,500 for the students themselves.

Carrasco noted that the student filmmakers also had “the incredible opportunity” of

St. Bernard High names new girls basketball, volleyball coaches St. Bernard High School in Playa del Rey announced two new leadership changes in the Viking athletic program, with the hiring of Michelle Greco as head girls basketball coach and Sean Fallowfield as head volleyball coach.

Greco is a former UCLA basketball standout who won a WNBA championship with the Seattle Storm. She was the 1998 Gatorade Circle of Champions State Player of the Year at Crescenta Valley High School.

“I’m so excited to join the Viking family.

Being a Southern California native, I’ve heard so many wonderful things about St. Bernard’s and I am absolutely honored to be their next head coach of the girls basketball team,” Greco said. “It is my goal to not only continue the winning tradition but to build and expand on it. I can’t wait to get started and I am thrilled to lead the Lady Vikings.”

Greco has also played internationally in Italy, Greece, and Israel over the last 10 years. She has coached at the YMCA Boys and Girls Basketball Clinic, UCLA Summer Camp, Santa Monica Surf Girls Basketball Club Team, and founded her own girls basketball camp where she coached, directed, and fundraised for 10 consecutive years.

Greco has selected Alexis Moore, a former

Baker & oring, LLP

California State University-Northridge player, to be her lead assistant.

A Southern California native, Fallowfield was a standout player at San Clemente High School, where he reached the California Interscholastic Federation finals in his senior year. He was named most valuable player at Santa Barbara City College when the team won its only state title, and was named California’s Junior College Player of the Year.

Fallowfield later attended the University of California-Santa Barbara, where he earned AllAmerican honors.

His coaching career includes two state titles as an assistant at Golden West Junior College.

Most recently, Fallowfield has been an assistant at Marymount High School, winning CIF and state titles over the last two seasons.

“I am thankful for my past experience and mentors that have gotten me to this point and allowed me the opportunity to take and be ready for this position,” Fallowfield said of the St. Bernard coaching job. “I am excited about the opportunity to join the St. Bernard family. I look forward to coaching a team that will continue the Viking tradition of success.”

WESTSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL STUDENTS took part in a Portraits of Hope project April 29, where they painted dozens of vinyl panels that will later be applied to emergency vehicles in Aspen, Colo.

Some emergency vehicles in Aspen, Colo. will soon be decorated with artistic patterns designed by students at Westside Neighborhood School in Del Rey. As part of the Portraits of Hope program, students painted dozens of vinyl panels that will be applied onto the emergency vehicles beginning in June. Portraits of Hope founders and brothers, Ed and Bernie Massey, led the April 29 session for 55 Westside Neighborhood School students, who worked together to paint the art panels in a floral motif.

This is the first time that government fire and rescue vehicles have been permitted to be

transformed in this way, according to Portraits of Hope.

The project additionally included civic leadership education activities focusing on the importance of teamwork and collaboration in dealing with important community issues. As part of the session, the middle school students helped apply texture to several art panels that were later painted by children who are visually impaired at the Braille Institute.

Approximately 2,000 youngsters in schools, hospitals, and social service agencies in Colorado and California will participate in this Portraits of Hope project.
