Re: “Manifest Destiny: Can the Expo Line fulfill the promise of mass transit in L.A.?” Cover Story, May 19 Santa Monica Mayor Tony Vasquez says “we’ve been called a model mobility city.” Where does this guy live? Certainly not in Santa Monica, where traffic has come to an increasing gridlock thanks to the city’s unsustainable (and developer/ election campaign-sponsored) development policy. This, added to the “model mobility” policy of discouraging park-and-ride near the Expo Line. Whatever those overpaid City representatives are thinking with, it’s definitely not with their brains. They’re just a bunch of nefarious Marie Antoinettes. Laura

Sometimes? Fine, missed opportunity to a certain degree. But in the long run we need to think about the Expo Line as a transit corridor linking a series of destinations, (i.e. places with a sense of “place.”) We aren’t talking about Metrolink stations in Irvine or West Covina here. Expo will go through the already dense west side to already dense Santa Monica. It’s an inner-city Metro line, and its stations should reflect that fact. When you hop off the subway in NYC, London or Paris, do you see huge parking lots like the one at North Hollywood station? No, you see shops, restaurants, apartments and parks. Providing ample parking at Metro stops would definitely be convenient for some people, but it’s not a smart way to build a city. Michael Hagerty

Metro is playing the long game by not including tons of parking at Expo stations, and it’s a smart move. Would massive parking lots entice people from Venice, Brentwood, Malibu and Pacific Palisades to park and ride when they go downtown? Maybe?

Women Rule the Ballot Box on Election Day 2016 Clinton defeats Sanders, Hahn dominates supervisor contest, and it’s now Harris vs. Sanchez competing for the Senate in November

By Joe Piasecki, Gary Walker and Christina Campodonico Women made history at the ballot box on Tuesday, with Hillary Clinton soundly defeating rival Bernie Sanders in California to become the first female presidential nominee of a major U.S. political party. Two women of color, California Attorney General Kamala Harris and Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Santa Ana), topped a field of 34 U.S. Senate candidates, marking the first time that two Democrats will square off for a federal office in the general election — and the first time in a statewide election that a Republican has failed to make the November ballot. Rep. Janice Hahn (D- San Pedro) came out far ahead in the three-way race to replace termed-out Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe, nearly earning enough votes to win the seat outright and avoid a runoff with opponent Steve Napolitano. Voter participation in Los Angeles County also increased significantly compared to the 2012 presidential primary, with the Registrar-Recorder’s Office reporting 1,438,909 ballots cast compared to 973,274 four years ago. Voter registration also increased by 359,000 voters to 4,809,303, putting Tuesday’s voter turnout at about 30%. PAGE 6 THE ARGONAUT June 9, 2016

CLINTON IN CULVER CITY, SANDERS IN SANTA MONICA

Both Clinton and Sanders made frequent campaign stops throughout the voter-rich Los Angeles area over the past several weeks, including a few on the Westside. On Friday, Clinton fired up supporters

Hillary Clinton energized supporters during a Women For Hillary rally on Friday at West L.A. College in Culver City

Bernie Sanders vowed to keep campaigning during an election night speech at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica On Tuesday, Clinton won 55.8% support in the Democratic primary (more than 1.9 million votes) to Sanders’ 43.2%, according to the California Secretary of State’s Office. While early returns in California hinted at a possible concession speech from

“If talking about paid family leave, equal pay and women’s rights to make our own health care decisions is playing the woman card, then deal me in.” — Hillary Clinton at West L.A. College during a Women For Hillary rally at West L.A. College in Culver City. On election night, Sanders addressed supporters at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica — his second rally in the city since speaking to 6,700 people at Santa Monica High School on May 23. Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, whose recent campaign stops around California have been marred by arrests and violence, slipped quietly in and out of Santa Monica on May 25 for a fundraising dinner at a private home.

Sanders, he instead vowed to continue his campaign through to the Democratic National Convention in July. “We will continue to fight for every vote and every delegate,” Sanders told supporters. “If this campaign has proven anything, it has proven that millions of Americans who love this country are prepared to stand up and fight to make this country a much better place. Thank you all. The struggle continues.” Trump got 75.3% support in his party’s essentially uncontested California primary, earning about 1.1 million votes.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who dropped out of the race more than a month ago, came in second with 11% of the vote.

CLINTON OWNS ‘THE WOMAN CARD’

Both Clinton and Sanders attacked Trump during their recent appearances on the Westside. “He doesn’t really have ideas, he just engages in rants and personal feuds and outright lies — something that our country cannot afford in a commander-inchief,” Clinton said at West L.A. College. “This election is really about breaking down every barrier that stands in the way of every American, giving everyone the chance to go as far as his or her hard work and talent will take them,” she added, going on to enumerate support for job and income growth, college affordability and affordable health care. “When I talk like this, you know, Donald Trump — [the crowd boos] — Donald Trump says, ‘Oh there she goes, playing the woman card.’ Well, I’ll tell you that if talking about paid family leave, equal pay and women’s rights to make our own health care decisions is playing the woman card, then deal me in.” (Continued on page 29)

Record Turnout Knocks Off Incumbents Venice rocks the vote, Westchester-Playa and Del Rey stay quiet By Gary Walker A record high voter turnout for the Venice Neighborhood Council elections last Sunday changed the local political landscape, with the influx of new voters sweeping nine incumbents from office. Competing views on development and homelessness spurred members of the business community and slowgrowth activists alike to put their muscle behind candidate endorsements, fueling a stampede to polling stations at the Oakwood Recreation Center. The field of 68 candidates seeking 21 seats attracted 2,792 voters — a record not only for Venice but also the highest-ever voter turnout for any Los Angeles neighborhood council election, according to Citywide Neighborhood Council Elections Director Jay Handal. “We knew it would be a big election and we were ready. We ran a good, clean, transparent election,” Handal said. All election totals remain unofficial until certified, and new board members

will be sworn in next month. While Venice saw the highest voter turnout, the Mar Vista Community Council nearly tripled voter participation, with 618 ballots cast this year versus just 215 in 2014. Voters in Mar Vista returned former council chair Rob Kadota to the board, while incumbents Valerie Davidson and William Scheding lost their seats to newcomers. Voter turnout for the Neighborhood Council of Westchester-Playa, meanwhile, took a precipitous downturn from two years ago. After drawing the city’s second-highest number of voters two years ago, participation dropped from 1,135 in 2014 to only 244 this time around. Westchester-Playa board member Garrett Smith, a member of the Westchester-Playa council who was not up for reelection, said low turnout reflects community members being more in sync with each other this year. “The last time around we had a lot of controversy. Legado [a contested mixed-use development] and other

issues were hot,” Smith said. Now, “We are trying to work together to preserve and protect the community as it is.” Voter turnout for the Del Rey Neighborhood Council elections dropped 50%, from 141 ballots cast in 2014 to just 65 this year. Only three of Del Rey’s 13 seats had contested races, and each incumbent who ran for reelection won. In Venice, the historic high turnout benefitted candidates supported by the local business community. Nine of the 10 newcomers or current council members backed by the Venice Chamber of Commerce won seats. That includes architect Matthew Royce, who defeated incumbent Robin Rudisill 1,315 votes to 956 for the position of Land Use and Planning Committee Chair, which those who are active on development issues have come to see as the council’s most important seat. Longtime Venice resident Laura Alice, who volunteered to work the

polls, said she identified dozens of employees from local business in line to vote. Local workers and others who demonstrate a significant community interest are allowed and encouraged to vote in neighborhood council elections even if they aren’t residents. “It seemed like the businesses did better outreach than the council,” Alice said. “But the turnout was amazing. It shows how we’re such a politically engaged community.” Longtime Venice Neighborhood Council member Ira Koslow, neither endorsed nor opposed by the chamber, won the president’s chair, and Chamber of Commerce Vice President George Francisco won the vice presidency. Handal said Los Angeles City Hall should take note of the nearly 3,000 votes cast in Venice as a sign of the growing significance of neighborhood councils. “It’s a great example of ‘be careful of awakening a sleeping giant,’” he said. gary@argonautnews.com

Police Find UCLA Shooter’s Car in Culver City Photo by Mia Duncans

Police found Mainak Sarkar’s car parked on Washington Place Los Angeles police shut down several blocks of Washington Place near Sawtelle Boulevard on Friday after finding the car that UCLA shooter Mainak Sarkar had driven here from Minnesota before killing UCLA engineering professor William Klug and himself on the campus on June 1. An inspection of the vehicle turned up a handgun and several gasoline containers, which investigators believe Sarkar used to avoid stopping for fuel during the drive from

Minnesota after killing his wife. Even though police did not think there were explosives inside the car, members of LAPD’s Bomb Squad swept the vehicle because police “didn’t want to take any chances,” LAPD Chief of Detectives Matt Blake said. Police confirmed that the gray 2003 Nissan Sentra with Minnesota plates had belonged to Sarkar during a Friday press conference at Minerva Avenue and Washington Place in Mar Vista, about

three blocks west of where the car had been parked. LAPD officers found a Culver City bus transfer in one of Sarkar’s pockets after he killed Klug, an El Segundo resident and volunteer Little League coach there, and turned the gun on himself. The bus transfer led officers to look for his car in Culver City, Blake said. During a search of Sarkar’s Minnesota home, police found a “kill list” that named Klug, another UCLA professor and Sarkar’s wife Ashley Hasti, who was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds in their home on June 2. Police shut down the UCLA campus for three hours on the morning of June 1 before finding Klug and Sarkar dead in an engineering department building. Sarkar had accused Klug of stealing his intellectual property and giving it to another student. — Gary Walker

A Starbucks on Every Corner Well, at least 2.5 per every square mile in Santa Monica, with yet another on the way Photo by Erwan Des

By Tony Peyser There are a huge number of Starbucks Coffee locations and — this may come as a surprise to some of you — all 23,768 of them are in Santa Monica. Actually, it just seems like that. There are 21 at the moment. Someone possessing far superior math skills than yours truly crunched the numbers and concluded this averages out to around 2.5 Starbucks stores for each of Santa Monica’s 8.4 square miles. This city of 90,000 has been called many things over the years, but no one can accurately argue it’s under-caffeinated. Santa Monica’s 22nd Starbucks location is poised to replace the Carousel Café burger stand and adjacent businesses at the base of the Santa Monica Pier in structures that date back to about 1920. Regrettably, these long-familiar buildings with colorful façades and outdoor patios along the boardwalk don’t qualify for landmark status because of too many alterations over the past 90-plus years. Starbucks arrived in Seattle in 1971, but coffee culture was already in full swing in California before that with landmark coffee houses like The Med (short for Mediterraneum) on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley in the mid-1950s. The Med is so iconic that a scene in “The Graduate” shows Ben hanging out there until he spots Elaine get on a bus and gives chase. The popularity of places like The Med quietly created a new order for American life: home, work, coffee house. When I left Berkeley in 1974 and came back to Los Angeles, I was stunned at how hard it was to find something like The Med. The first place I remember meeting the need was City Café, which opened in 1981. (Yeah, I know: Technically it was a restaurant, but the coffee was unforgettable.) Melrose Avenue wasn’t exactly happening then unless your idea of a

The Carousel Café is slated to become Santa Monica’s 22nd — 22nd! — Starbucks hotspot was an abundance of plumbers, guys who could fix your vacuum cleaner and furriers. But City Café led the way to making Melrose hip, a singular feather in the cap of its trailblazing owners, Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Millikan. It takes guts to try and make an indie coffee house work. Hell, it even takes guts to figure out how to make a good cup of coffee. I remember when an ice cream parlor on Melrose called Double Rainbow figured (like many places back then) it could get a piece of the burgeoning coffee craze. I went in one time (I was the only customer) and the one person behind the counter had New Guy practically tattooed on his face. I ordered a triple espresso. A few minutes later, he handed me a cup. My brow furrowed. I tentatively sniffed it and then took a tiny sip. I handed it back

Today, Starbucks has only two real corporate rivals: Peet’s Coffee & Tea and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, which each have just two locations in Santa Monica. But there is a pitfall of Starbucks’ massive, global success: You can’t be a conglomerate and still be considered Bohemian, cool and cutting edge. This basic fact (and Santa Monica’s apparently insatiable lust for coffee) is why non-chain coffeehouses are flourishing in Santa Monica — Primo Passo Coffee Co., Caffé Luxxe, Dogtown Coffee, Espresso Cielo, Lo/Cal Coffee & Market, La Monarcha Bakery, Funnel Mill, M Street Kitchen, UnUrban Coffee House, 18th Street Coffee House, Urth

At some point in the late 1970s, Howard Schultz was a just a crazy kid from Brooklyn with a jones for java and a dream. It would’ve been easy to root for him back then. The same cannot easily be said of Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks Corporation. This is the inevitable downside of going from underdog to overlord. This is also why some locals are less than thrilled with another (no, make that yet another) Starbucks in Santa Monica. Yes, they do make terrific coffee. And, yes, the people who work there are, as a rule, incredibly nice. It’s just that some of us prefer to see variety on the coffeehouse landscape. When I was a regular freelancer for the Los Angeles Times years ago, I remember driving into the newspaper’s main parking lot and then slamming on the brakes in a mixture of horror and astonishment. I saw no people. I did, however, see around 100 brand new and identical white compact cars. What the hell was up? Had all reporters been whisked away in some kind of heretofore unknown vehicular rapture? No, nothing quite that extreme. I later learned this was a recently delivered fleet of cars to be used by a host of Times employees. That vision of unassailable conformity was not reassuring: It was spectacularly unsettling. Seeing indie anything — book stores, music stores, restaurants —in our insanely overfranchised world will always be a welcome sight.

Power To Speak

Don’t Let Venice Go to Pot Like alcohol and tobacco, legalizing marijuana will increase kids’ access to the drug By Gilbert Mora The author is writing on behalf of the Westside Impact Coalition, a community group working to improve public health and safety in Venice. A proposal to legalize the recreational use of marijuana will likely make the November ballot. Wherever you fall on the issue personally, one fact cannot be ignored: Legalization will increase youth use of the drug throughout the state and, yes, in Venice. Research has demonstrated time and again that the more accessible a substance is the more youth will use it. Children of parents who smoke marijuana are more than three times more likely to use it themselves, a 2014 nationwide survey commissioned by the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation’s Center for Public Advocacy found. Among young adults (ages 18 to 25) whose parents had used marijuana,

Mainstreaming recreational marijuana sets a bad example for kids

Your Friendly Neighborhood Self Storage

Most people say yes to legalization without thinking about the consequences of a powerful and financially motivated marijuana industry. 72% had used it also. Conversely, only 20% of those whose parents had never used marijuana reported having used marijuana themselves. But alcohol and tobacco provide the best case studies. Decades of research on these two legal substances reveals that youth usage rates are considerably higher in places where there is easier access for adults (in the form of more stores selling the products, for example), despite the age restrictions that are supposedly in place.

dispensaries throughout our communities? What about the potential of marijuana advertising in print, on billboards and online? What about public use? Of course there will be efforts to regulate all of it, but there is no denying that once the vast mechanism of a “Big Marijuana” industry is in place our communities will be much more saturated. We cannot underestimate the impact this will have on the youth around us. What is viewed as socially normative deeply influences young people. If teens are inundated with marijuana messages and imagery, or, if they’re regularly seeing the adults in their lives smoking pot, they’re more

likely to do the same — three times more likely, according to the research. All of this matters, of course, because marijuana use hurts youth – more so than it does adults. Research shows that marijuana has significant detrimental cognitive effects on the developing brain. Youth can’t regularly use marijuana without long-term consequences. I believe strongly that it is our duty as adults to protect our kids from harm. I hope you feel the same. If we don’t protect our children, who will?

Story

Hands-On History LMU’s Archaeology Museum may be Westchester’s best-kept secret

Story by Joe Piasecki Photos by Maria Martin The 2,800-year-old sarcophagus of Nes-Khonsou, Keeper of the Storehouse, keeps watch over the library and museum of Loyola Marymount University’s Classics & Archaeology Department. In adjacent rooms on the third floor of University Hall, cuneiform tablets — some of the earliest examples of written language — keep the company of Babylonian gods, Dionysian revelers painted on ancient Greek vases, preRoman gorgons threatening to doom trespassers and hundreds of other heirlooms of the distant past. LMU students are encouraged not just to view these treasures behind glass, but to pick them up and handle them — to actually feel the stone, wood and ceramic in their fingertips. Theirs is the only hands-on undergraduate archaeology program in the country, and Professor William Fulco, S.J., who assembled this collection over six PAGE 12 THE ARGONAUT June 9, 2016

decades of field work and teaching, wouldn’t have it any other way. “Every piece is a friend of mine. I know its history; I can picture who made it and how they made it,” says Fulco. “That’s why it’s so important for my students to hold these artifacts, to pick up a bowl and know that 4,000 years ago a woman cooked with it.” Fulco, 80, traces this philosophy back to one afternoon in Jordan about 25 years ago, when he and a colleague were drinking scotch during the seemingly tedious job of sorting through hundreds of ancient ceramic pots. “I remember picking up a pot and saying, ‘This is a very ugly pot.’ He turned to me with almost tears in his eyes — of course the scotch helped — and said, ‘C’mon, pots have feelings too, you know.’ In a sense, he hit it: We were having a kind of communion with the people who had lived there. This was their lives. This is what they were doing. We were holding stuff that they created,

repairing it, getting to know them.” A gift for ancient and modern languages propelled Fulco into archaeological study and eventually a doctorate degree from Yale. He has been in charge of the archeological collection at the Jesuit House in Jerusalem — including a fully intact mummy — for the past 50 years. Fulco began the archaeology department at the University of Southern California in the early 1990s before a 1998 National Endowment for the Humanities grant allowed him to found his current program at LMU, its collection seeded by his own as well as gifts to the university. (The sarcophagus of Nes-Khonsou was a gift from local developer Jim Kilroy and his wife Nelly Kilroy, a member of the LMU Board of Trustees.) To Fulco’s surprise, he and colleague Caroline Sauvage can’t offer enough archaeology classes to satisfy demand for enrollment — particularly a course on how to read Egyptian hieroglyphics and the program’s flagship Archaeology and

the Bible course, which generates a constant waiting list of more than 100 students. “We can’t offer enough archaeology,” he says. “We encourage students to look at reality in new categories and to understand themselves in a richer, broader way. I think the kids find that a relief from all the career-oriented disciplines they get involved in.” Some in the field have criticized his hands-on teaching policy as accelerating wear and tear on the artifacts, but Fulco isn’t concerned and confesses that he’s the only one who’s ever broken anything. “The advantage of these being held by students transcends everything,” he says. LMU’s archaeology library and collections are open to the public on a limited basis by appointment only.

The Theft of History How the terrorists who plundered Palmyra profit from the illegal artifacts trade By Kelly Hayes-Raitt Few places in the world have endured the carnage that Palmyra, Syria, has during its 5,000-year history. The ancient city’s towering gate and 375-columned colonnade have withstood massacres, marauders, an earthquake and centuries of sandstorms. Now the ruins of this former caravan trading hub are funding history’s richest terrorist organization: ISIS. When I toured Palmyra on camelback early one dawn in 2008, I never dreamt that I’d be among the last Americans to see the UNESCO World Heritage site intact. I imagined Palmyra in its heyday, with adventurous, dusty and exhausted explorers and traders

excavations and looting in his new book “Syria’s Endangered Heritage: An International Responsibility to Protect and Preserve.” “The museum, which I have visited twice, is another story. It’s pretty much gutted, and the loss is nearly complete of what remained when ISIS arrived,” Lamb writes in our email conversation. “ISIS used the museum as a ‘court,’ so it was always occupied, [which] increased the damage.” ISIS earns up to $1 million each year from looting and trafficking antiquities, according to a congressional fact sheet issued by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. It’s a mere pittance compared to the estimated $1 million per day

“For an archaeologist, the origin is its value. But the people who are buying want coffee table ornaments.” — William Fulco, S.J.

William Fulco handles an ancient Egyptian mask. A B O V E , F R O M T O P L E F T : LMU’s artifact collection includes an Egyptian burial figurine from 1750 BC, an ancient Greek vase, a Sumerian cuneiform fragment from 3,000 BC, an ancient Persian lamp, and a rare terra cotta olive oil lamp from 4th-century Syria that reflects the influence of Arab, Jewish and Christian traditions. O P P O S I T E PA G E :

inching down the Great Colonnade, glad to finally reach this economic and intellectual oasis. As a crossroads between the hungry buyers from the Roman Empire and the peddlers of spices, silks and other treasures from China, Persia and India, Palmyra was a melting pot of civilizations and ideas — from religious rites to political ideologies to cultural mores. Now the village luxuries that once beckoned traders from Mesopotamia to the Mediterranean are archaeological treasures being illegally sold in order to adorn the coffee tables of private collectors. During ISIS’ 10-month siege of Palmyra, which ended March 31, militants brutally beheaded the heritage site’s director of antiquities, 82-year-old Khaled al-Asaad, for refusing to reveal where valuable artifacts had been hidden for safekeeping. Terrorists and tomb raiders also plundered approximately 20% of the archaeological site, according to Dr. Franklin Lamb, who during the past three years has traveled several times to Syria from his home in Beirut. He’s documented illegal

from their black market oil dealings, but significant nonetheless.

Deleting the Historic Record

Like a modern-day Silk Road, the trail of an artifact smuggled from the sands of Syria into the hands of a private collector may traverse three continents. “The trade is underground and goes through all sorts of disguises,” says Dr. William Fulco, S.J., professor of archaeology at Loyola Marymount University and director of the school’s archaeology museum, which boasts one of America’s most unique “hands-on” antiquities collections. Smugglers need to cleanse the origin of plundered artifacts so when they end up on the market, they won’t be known as coming from Palmyra, Fulco explains. “For an archaeologist, the origin is its value. But the people who are buying want coffee table ornaments. That’s the big market,” he says. “I’ll bet at least 50% of the antiquities on the market, no matter where they are from, [the dealers] (Continued on page 14)

Story (Continued from page 13)

say they are from the ‘Jordan Valley’ or ‘Jericho.’” Smugglers often funnel a stolen artifact through Dubai with phony claims of its origin. “Dubai is one of the great clearinghouses. If you go on eBay, you’ll find a large number of dealers of antiquities in Dubai. But they don’t make as much money that way. If it’s a significant item, they want it to go Big Time, so from there it would typically go to Zurich — that’s a clearinghouse,” says Fulco. “[The item] would eventually end up in London or Paris or Los Angeles, which is a big center in antiquities. By the time it ends up in these markets through various agents, we’ve lost all track of the origin. All you know is it’s a beautiful, fun antique to have.”

Black Market Loopholes

In a bipartisan effort to keep black market artifacts from entering the States, Congress passed the Protect and Preserve International Cultural Property Act, which Pres. Obama signed May 4. The bill calls for “emergency import restrictions on at-risk Syrian cultural property” and an “inter-agency executive committee to protect international cultural property,” according to bill sponsor Rep. Eliot Engel’s (D-NY) website. There’s no blanket guideline to importing artifacts. The U.S. allows the importation of artifacts that have been legally exported from their country of origin, according to that country’s laws. So, whatever the rules are for exporting the artifact become the rules for importing the artifact into the U.S. Since Syria is unable to control stolen exports, emergency legislation was needed to establish illegality. Congress passed similar legislation during the Iraq War to prevent the importation of pilfered heritage treasures. But will this legislation make a dent in ISIS’ illegal smuggling? “Probably not much,” Fulco says. “Something from ‘the Jordan Valley’ is shipped as a ‘ceramic pot,’ period,” he explains. “One dealer told me he shipped a wooden figure from Egypt that was about 5,000 years old and it was simply listed on the customs form as ‘doll.’ How many thousands of packages come from London to New York every day? There are planefuls of them! They’re not going to open every package. They’ll be going by PAGE 14 THE ARGONAUT June 9, 2016

the customs slip. “What the FBI [cares about] is not the dealing in minor pieces. They’re concerned with masterpieces that cost hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. They’re more concerned about where the money is going,” he says. “The money frequently goes back to where the antiquity came from — Dubai and then back to ISIS.” That said, Fulco believes having the law is “a matter of principle.” Also on principal, LMU’s Department of Classics and Archaeology currently refuses to purchase or accept gifts of artifacts from the Middle East due to the region’s instability. “The more you buy from the market, the more you encourage people to rob archeological sites. We don’t want to be a party to that,” he says.

ISIS Erases History to Rewrite It

Is this wholesale plundering of significant cultural heritage sites unique in history, or just an extension of what’s been happening for centuries? “The motivation is different,” Fulco says. “During the Ottoman Period before the First World War, the Greeks attacked the Turks and the Turks attacked the Greeks and they all attacked the Egyptians and so on. It wasn’t a question of ethnic artistic cleansing, it was a question of stupidity. So, for example, soldiers shot at the Sphinx because it was fun to knock its nose off. … Stupid people doing stupid things. “In Palmyra, they blew up two huge structures just to prove a point. They raided private collections and plundered the museum. It’s very clear ISIS wants to cleanse the Earth’s history and start afresh under their terms. To do that, they have to destroy history as it exists. There is a double motivation: remove all faces of history that do not correspond to their image and loot for financial reasons. These aren’t ideologically compatible, but that doesn’t stop them.”

Rebuilding a Broken City

Controversy has already begun about the restoration of Palmyra. Some experts are employing virtual imagery techniques using threedimensional digital technology and robots to create models of Palmyra’s Roman arches.

A B O V E : A stone plaque depicting a Babylonian god dates to about 1,800 BC B E L O W : William Fulco examines ancient pottery sherds frequently handled by LMU archaeology students

“Given these sophisticated advancements in technology, why is it so critical to physically restore the ruins?” I ask both experts. “Authenticity is a rather significant human desire,” Fulco responds. “Re-creation is re-creation, it’s not the site itself. They are not the artifacts that people [originally] created. You can go to Disneyland or Universal Studios where they reconstruct an entire city; they may look the same, but they are not the same. I can’t examine the way the artifact was fired. If it’s made out of brick, I want to know what that brick is, what its content is. Re-creating it or having pictures of it does not give you the evidence you need to research human development.” “Digital imaging is a useful tool in helping restore damaged cultural sites such as Palmyra. But that is all it is, one tool,” Lamb emails from Beirut. “Anthropologists, sociologists and

specialists from other branches of the humanities and social sciences recognize that cultural heritage is critical to supporting peoples’ identity. One of our deepest needs as humans is for a sense of identity and belonging, and a common denominator is our attachment to place and how we find meaning and identity in both cultural and natural landscapes. “It is not that we have lost things that have stood as they were for [thousands of] years. What we have lost is the effort, the intellectual and labor effort, of generations of Syrian historians who lovingly restored [Palmyra’s] columns and stones.” Kelly Hayes-Raitt, a Santa Monica resident, spent the summer of 2008 assisting Iraqi refugees in Damascus.

“Aftermath” at the new Robert Graham Studio in Culver City brings together the works of Robert Graham, photographer Jim McHugh and the K2S graffiti crew

The Architecture of a Legacy Venice sculptor Robert Graham lives on through his son and the artists he mentored By Christina Campodonico When Steven Graham’s father — worldrenowned sculptor and longtime Venice artist Robert Graham — died in 2008, he had to not only grapple with his grief but also figure out how to preserve his father’s artistic legacy. Robert Graham’s dream studio — a project 25 years in the making, which Steven, an architect, had designed — had just been constructed, yet the estate was in disarray. Robert Graham had not planned for a retrospective. Nor had he catalogued his vast body of work, which ranged from small sculptures of female nudes to large public works such as the Olympic Gateway in front of the L.A. Coliseum, The Dance Door at the Music Center and The Venice Torso at Windward Circle. “He really never looked back. He always looked forward to the next thing,” says Steven. “I really felt it was my responsibility to keep this going so I could complete the legacy.” When Robert Graham’s home-studio on Windward Avenue (the big stainless-steel building near the Venice sign, where Graham lived with Steven’s stepmother, actress Anjelica Huston) sold in 2014, Steven had to find a new space to house his father’s work.

Steven Graham soon found a spot in nearby Culver City, transforming the space into a workshop and gallery, where the show “Aftermath” is currently on view. Interestingly, the elder Graham isn’t exactly the focal point of “Aftermath.” But his legacy ties the artwork of the

funds for the museum. Over three years, the studio produced more than 3,500 of these statues depicting a nude female torso that is now an iconic part of Robert Graham’s oeuvre. Juan Carlos Muñoz Hernandez, a member of the K2S graffiti crew who signs his artwork “Heaven,” was one of

K2S graffiti crew, L.A. portrait photographer Jim McHugh and the Los Angeles Riots together. “It is really the ‘aftermath’ — the check in — of what everyone is doing today,” says Steven Graham, who curated the show and discussed the exhibition’s back story with me. A year after the 1992 Los Angeles riots, Robert Graham proposed a project to hire and train at-risk-youth in bronze casting at his studio. The training program, called the MOCA TORSO project, would produce a series of small bronze statuettes to be sold at MOCA’s bookstore and raise

the original youths who apprenticed under Graham and produced the sculptures. For Hernandez, working with Robert Graham on the TORSO project changed his life. Raised in Boyle Heights’s Pico-Aliso housing project, Hernandez was immersed in the world of graffiti art, but it was meeting Robert Graham at his Venice studio that set Hernandez on the path to becoming a serious artist. One day a twenty-something-year-old Hernandez was up on some scaffolding, working on a mural for Homeboy Industry’s Fr. Greg Boyle, when a friend of his from Youth Gang Services asked

him if he wanted a job. Hernandez was doing anything he could to pay the rent and take care of his family, so he said yes and drove with his friend to Venice, not knowing quite what the job there entailed. The inner-city kid, who rarely ventured outside the neighborhood where he had grown up, was amazed by Venice’s beautiful beaches and entranced by Robert Graham’s wisdom. “I didn’t know who he was at the time. He brought out a sculpture — a torso — and he goes, ‘Listen, I want to produce these, but I want each torso that’s produced to have a unique feeling.’ And I didn’t quite understand what he was saying. It took me quite a while to understand,” remembers Hernandez. Now a professional artist with his own studio in Venice, Hernandez values the lessons that Robert Graham taught him about art and having a strong work ethic. “I think once I started working with Robert Graham, I started taking art more seriously. You know, it was a lot of hard work, a lot of discipline. Even if you did a little inch square screw, it would have to be 100%, 110% perfect,” Hernandez says. To this day, Hernandez applies the same level of painstaking effort and attention to (Continued on page 16)

W eek the corner, captures the calm and contemplative aspect of these artists as they stare into the camera, seeming to bare their souls with simple yet searching glances. McHugh had photographed the Torso Project for People magazine in 1993. In the end, all roads, however winding, lead back to Robert Graham. A giant sculpture by the artist of a nude woman lying on her back and throwing her legs up into the air is a striking presence at the center of the room. She’s covered in sinuous signatures, layers of color and a golden Phoenix. It looks like body paint or a tattoo. They’re all traces left by Heaven, Big Sleeps, Defer, Prime and Fujita — like a note of thanks to the past.

But step a little closer and you’ll see precisely painted, multi-color lines running across the ruffled edges of bleeding ink. “Every line is not like a struggle, but

[I’m] very conscious of not losing that fine balance,” Hernandez says. “Like discipline and chaos in one little centimeter of space.” Hernandez’s co-exhibitors and fellow K2S crew members similarly walk the fine line between organization and pandemonium.

Steak is the name of the game at Dear John’s

Dear John’s

11208 Culver Blvd., Culver City (310) 397-0276 dearjohns.net I wore a jacket and tie when I went to dine at Dear John’s not because I really had to, but because it felt like the right thing to do. The restaurant opened for business in 1967, when most people still dressed up for any meal fancier than a drive-in burger or diner breakfast. The exterior of the place looks a lot like a dive bar, but it’s a class act inside with romantic lighting, spotless white tablecloths and a pianist in the corner. There was even someone else wearing a tie, which most contemporary Californians only do for weddings, funerals and court appearances, though since the person wearing a tie was the pianist it might have been part of his dress code. Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand both were occasional visitors to Dear John’s, and while I don’t remember hearing any of their material in the pianist’s repertoire there was much that either

could have sung along with. The menu is as old school as the environment, and all dining trends of the last 50 years have been ignored. We decided on salmon with dill, a French dip sandwich, and prime rib, with a frog leg appetizer just because it had been ages since I saw frog legs on a menu.

used very sparingly and I almost asked for extra; the soup well-made but just a bit on the bland side. Someone else had ordered it and I only had a taste, but if it had been mine I would have asked for some hot sauce to zing it up. In an environment like this I felt like having a classic cocktail

Dear John’s has a rare attribute in the local restaurant scene — authenticity. It is exactly what it has been since it opened nearly 50 years ago. Those amphibians must have spent a lot of time at the gym, since the legs were very meaty but still tender, and as usual they tasted halfway between fish and chicken. Here they had been breaded with a spicy batter, fried crisp and served with tartar sauce and a very mild garlic sauce. I liked them all by themselves, but the tartar sauce improved them. Dinner here comes with a choice of soup or salad, and one of us ordered the lentil soup while the other two had salads with house-made gorgonzola dressing. The gorgonzola was decent but

and was gearing up for a martini before I noticed a drink called Two Blocks From Tito’s. The shout-out to their neighbor is a rebranded cranberry margarita, and they make it strong but in balance. My companions had a gin and tonic and a glass of wine from the short list. I can’t fault Dear John’s for not offering a wide wine selection here, as this seems to be a cocktail place. It’s a family place too, and we approved of a family whose very young child had excellent manners.

Our meals showed up and were impressively large; the salmon perched atop a pile of rice pilaf with asparagus on the side, the prime rib likewise with the baked potato that I preferred. The salmon was the best item we had, a big and nicely cooked piece of fish topped with a subtle artichoke-dill sauce that benefitted from just a little squeeze of lemon. The prime rib was a good-sized slab of bovine, but while this had a musky, concentrated beefiness it didn’t have a noticeable herb crust and wasn’t as tender as prime I’ve had elsewhere. Granted, the prime rib that I found superior had a higher price tag than the $27 that was charged for a large portion here, but I’d rather pay more or have a smaller portion of splendid meat. It was good for moderately priced prime rib, but you do get what you pay for. We didn’t initially get what we paid for when it came to the French dip, which had a meager portion of meat between lots of bread. However, after we called this to the attention of the

Dear John’s has been around since 1967 and hasn’t changed a bit manager when he stopped by our table, he agreed and not only brought out more meat, he comped a dessert as an apology. We chose the bread pudding with whiskey sauce, which was excellent and topped with a mountain of liqueur-infused whipped cream. We couldn’t fault the dessert or the customer service. Dear John’s has a rare attribute in the local restaurant scene —

authenticity. It is exactly what it has been since it opened nearly 50 years ago, and if you like classic style you might become a regular. Even if you aren’t here every week, you might stop in just to enjoy solidly prepared food with the ironclad guarantee that they won’t blast dance music at you or roll their eyes when you want a classic drink instead of something trendy.

Afro-Cuban’s True Believer Louie Cruz Beltran kicks off Playa Vista’s summer concert series to the beat of his own drum By Evan Henerson Over a career that has spanned four decades, Louie Cruz Beltran has followed the beat of the conga and the timbale across the world and back again. As a student at the Conservatory of Percussion in Paris and later as a performer, the Afro-Cuban bandleader/ percussionist has journeyed to Western Europe and Scandinavia, to the Dominican Republic and Morocco. This weekend Beltran alights in Playa Vista’s Concert Park, where he’ll take the stage on Sunday to kick off the free Concerts in the Park summer series. Although Beltran works frequently in Los Angeles, he isn’t familiar with the newly sprouted neighborhood. But give the man an outdoor venue and an audience full of listeners who are willing to get things shaking, and he promises to take it from there. “For these kinds of festivals, I like to get my pathos, logos and ethos together and do some really great music,” Beltran says. “I’ll being doing a crossover of different types of music, all with a layer of Afro-Cuban rhythms.” Beltran is speaking by phone from Bakersfield, where he’s visiting his mother. The San Joaquin Valley is where the seed for Beltran’s love of music was planted. As his mother Aurelia Olgin would prepare food, Louie Cruz and his seven siblings — including future “Star Trek: Voyager” star Robert Beltran (Chakotay) — would gather around and sing. “It was kind of like a bird in the nest, and all the little birds would chirp along with mom,” recalls Beltran, who started playing bongos at age 5. “She would teach my brothers and sisters to sing in choir, and she taught me the concept of harmony. That has helped me my entire career.” Beltran’s interest in music deepened as skylex

Louie Cruz Beltran’s percussion arrangements travel the world he grew up and started playing in the San Francisco Bay Area. The success of Carlos Santana was influential. During his time in Paris, Beltran learned African and Middle-Eastern percussion, and he studied with Puerto Rican and Cuban drummers. Beltran knew early on that he would rather follow his music than punch a clock. During his early years, when professional work was difficult to come by, Beltran said he followed the example of Santana — with whom he would later share the stage — who proved that even with music drawing on Afro-Cuban beats, crossover success was attainable. “I was doing Latin rhythms and changing the rhythms and the arrangements of songs by Earth Wind and Fire, James Brown, you name it and I would always put a little Latin beat to it. Eventually I was getting more gigs,” Beltran says. “I was very good friends with Pete Escovedo and their whole family, and I

noticed how they were crossing over,” he continues. “I told myself, ‘Louie, there’s time for the folk music of Afro-Latin tradition, and there’s a time for making money.’ I was going to stick to my music — look for creative ways to make a living and still play the music in the style that I love.” As his career blossomed, Beltran has remained creative. He is a regular on the jazz festival circuit, playing engagements up and down the state, including the Playboy Jazz Festival and the Hollywood Bowl. He mixes the higher-profile concerts and festival performances with teaching and private events. Beltran’s appearance calendar, which already has bookings into early 2017, includes gigs from Seal Beach to Pasadena. He’ll also be meeting with a group of librarians to explore the possibility of conducting a workshop. Beltran frequently appears as a motivational speaker at inner-city high schools

to talk about the power of music as a bridge between segregated populations. “Music has been, to me, the highlight of ambassadorship and diplomacy that has always been able to break barriers,” he says. “I use that tool to bring young audiences together to understand that there’s really much more that we have in common as a society than we have as differences.” For his 2011 album “Paint the Rhythm,” his third, Beltran assembled a bunch of old friends including Escovedo, Poncho Sanchez, Giovani Hidalgo and Hubert Laws. He is working on a new CD, and a possible re-release of his debut album “It’s My Time.” Beltran advises up-and-coming musicians looking to emulate a Beltran-ish career to study the ever-changing music industry. If album sales is a more immediate goal than a heavily booked touring calendar, a musician will face a completely different set of variables. “It’s not an easy trail, and you have to be the one to carry that flame,” Beltran says. “I’m very optimistic even when I see music being ripped off every day, from the point of having your material sold for 99 cents to seeing the diligence you need just to accumulate the money you need to survive. Things are done so differently now in the industry that it becomes a little discouraging at times. “You have got to be passionate. You have to have a real love for what you do, and then you can get through the hard times. “The sky will open. You’ll see it. It will come along.” Louie Cruz Beltran plays a free outdoor show from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Sunday at Concert Park in Playa Vista, where Concert Park Drive terminates at West Runway Road.

Rotarians Join the Campaign Trail LMU’s Michael Genovese breaks down election politics for the Rotary Club of Westchester The mission of The Rotary Club of Westchester is to advance understanding, goodwill and peace. It seems only fitting, then, for the club to turn its attention to the strife and havoc we call American presidential politics. On Wednesday the club welcomes Loyola Marymount University political science professor Michael Genovese to provide analysis and commentary on the American electoral process as well as the current battle for the White House. His topic: “Is This Any Way to Elect the Most Powerful Leader in the World?” President of the World Policy Institute at Loyola Marymount University, Genovese has written more than 40 books about American leadership and has served as The Washington Center’s scholar in residence for several national political conventions and the 2008 presidential inauguration. “Given Professor Genovese’s extensive background in presidential politics and leadership, he is the perfect individual to speak about the intense political climate in which we currently find ourselves,” said Mary Tabata, president of The Rotary Club of Westchester.

HAHN STAFFER SLAMS “TRUMP-STYLE CAMPAIGN”

At final count, Hahn received 47.3% of the vote in Tuesday’s L.A. County Board of Supervisors contest — a total of 121,228 votes, according to county elections officials. Napolitano, who will now face her in the November runoff, received about 37% support, and underfunded Whittier school board member Ralph Pacheco nearly 16%. Neither Hahn nor Napolitano could be reached for comment, but Hahn campaign manager Dave Jacobsen said his boss was thrilled with the result. ‘It’s a testament to the wideranging support that Rep. Hahn has received in this campaign,” Jacobsen said. “Rep. Hahn is proud of the positive campaign that she has run in contrast to Steve Napolitano, who ran a Donald Trump-style campaign of lies and attacks misrepresenting Janice Hahn’s record.” In other local races, Democrats cruised to victory over underfunded Republican opponents. Reps. Ted Lieu, Waters and Bass as well as Assemblymen Richard Bloom and Sebastian Ridley-Thomas each won easy victories. Assemblywoman Autumn Burke (D- Marina del Rey) ran unopposed.

TIME TO GET WHAT YOU REALLY WANTED

Local Reps. Karen Bass and Maxine Waters (who both won easy contests on Tuesday) and celebrities including Elizabeth Banks, Sophia Bush, Michelle Kwan, Debra Messing, Mary Steenburgen and Sally Field joined Clinton on stage during the Women For Hillary event — some of them taking their own shots at Trump. “If he gets his way, all the progress that has been made over the past 50 years will be erased. We will be a country led by a reckless bigot and misogynist,” Messing said. “We know what kind of president [Clinton] will be because she’s already dedicated her life to public service,” Banks, who called Trump “a fraud,” said. “And then there’s Donald. He ran a university; it no longer exists. He had a TV show; it no longer exists. He had hair …” Sanders told supporters in Santa Monica on Tuesday that “The American people, in my view, will never support a candidate whose major theme is bigotry.”

Words That Rock Performance poet Rich Ferguson curates ‘Aloud & Allowed’ at Hotel Erwin By Bliss Bowen Most poets, when reading publicly, deliver their words while consulting printed pages, which contributes to the choppy speaking cadence commonly associated with poetry readings. Not Rich Ferguson. Onstage as on the page, his writing explodes in torrents of words — not unlike Bruce Springsteen’s early songs. Ferguson begins speaking even before he hits his stage mark, like an actor delivering a dynamically rhythmic monologue. “My first musical instrument is playing the drum, so I’m really keyed into rhythm,” he comments. “When I go through my work when I edit, I’m also listening for the rhythm and the music of it. When I perform I try to emphasize that as well. “I like to use my hands, my body as much as I can when I perform. I find it limiting if I have to hold a piece of paper, [so] I’d rather have it memorized. After I write something I’ll go on long walks and go through the piece, and I have to be doing something active; that helps with memorizing. People will sometimes say, ‘I saw you walking down the street the other day when I was driving along and you looked like a crazy person, talking to yourself.’ [Laughs] I was just running a new spoken-word piece.” Next Thursday, June 16, Ferguson performs and hosts “Aloud & Allowed,” an evening he curated of words in spoken and musical form from Nicelle Davis, Peggy Dobreer, Alexis Rhone Fancher, CLS Ferguson, Susan Hayden and Pam Ward, among others. “It’s women poets in L.A. that I really like,” he explains. “I would say the connecting thread is paying homage to people who’ve done a lot to help foster a sense of community in the L.A. poetry scene.” A respected fixture in that scene, Ferguson plans to perform with accompaniment from pedal steel player Michael Rozon. Unfortunately, because of time constraints — artists are allotted only about seven minutes each — he doesn’t plan to read anything from his forthcom-

L etter s Re: “When Voting Rights Go Wrong,” News, May 26 The Venice Neighborhood Council elections have always been a joke when it comes to who is “eligible” to vote. The first and only time I went to vote, I was in a line behind a busload of homeless people that apparently all had enough of an “interest” in Venice to qualify

enemies and families… the laughter, the weeping at Satan’s tree, the roar of guns and the booming of souped-up hot rods. All those things and more had been my second skin since birth.”

Onstage and on the page, Rick Ferguson’s writing explodes in Springsteen-like torrents of language ing novel, “New Jersey Me,” an earthy piece of work peppered with Springsteen references, working-class characters,’70s pop-culture allusions and troubled rites of passage. A labor of love for the South Jersey native for more than a decade, the book evolved out of Ferguson’s same-named poem, featured in his collection “8th & Agony,” published last year by Punk Hostage Press. It’s a time-snapping chronicle of South Jersey coastal towns where the lack of expectations and oppression of boredom is only occasionally relieved by: “the hum of crickets and bullfrogs tuning for an evening; the hard-rock acoustics of sudden thunderstorms and the thunderous revving of souped-up Camaros and Shelbys barreling down Route 9. … That was my life back then — part boy, part lost, part dual-exhaust, high-performance dream machine.” The cover art for “New Jersey Me”

visually riffs on the iconic cover of Springsteen’s “Greetings From Asbury Park,” which remains a significant touchstone for Ferguson. He notes “a Ginsberg influence” in that album’s lyrics and singles out “Blinded by the Light” as “loopy and playful.” That description can also be applied to much of Ferguson’s writing, which roils with imagery and emotional violence. Springsteen comparisons are unavoidable; you can’t get away from them if you grew up revering hot rods and drinking the Pine Barrens groundtable water in South Jersey’s small-town culture. His imaginative, wide-roaming work also occasionally evokes Sam Shepard’s early plays, principally in the way he can seem drunk on words that riff to a primal beat. Shepard took his cues from jazz improvisation, but Ferguson feeds on rock’s inherent drama: “What surprised me was that the further I got from my old life, the closer it felt. All the good and bad of it — friends,

He originally conceived “New Jersey Me” as “a novel in stories.” After working on it off and on for 10 years, he finally handed it to Rare Bird Lit publisher Tyson Cornell, who in turn paired him with an editor — who promptly instructed Ferguson to “gut the novel and rewrite it.” That wrenching process ultimately yielded a book whose angerfueled scenes cohere in more recognizably novelistic form, its Jersey boy narrator dreaming of “Venice Beach and the Sunset Strip bars” while racing down Route 9 in a Trans Am. “New Jersey Me” is now slated for publication in September. Recently Ferguson entered the studio with Cornell, who plays guitar, and jazz bassist Josh Haden and Lucinda Williams’ drummer Butch Norton. They worked up musical settings for certain pieces from “New Jersey Me”: Spooky guitar and effects signal a drug-twisted romance between “two sheltered teenagers from the Pine Barrens [with] big aspirations” in “Callie.” Bass thumps hard and fast beneath invocations of Deep Purple and alien intelligence during “Highway Star,” while “California Me” rides gentler acoustic guitar patterns as Ferguson chronicles a cross-country road trip and late-night radio’s “sonic rush of Skynyrd, Petty, Van Halen and occasionally ‘Spirit in the Sky.’” “It’s been going great,” Ferguson enthuses, adding that there will likely be future shows where he performs some of those pieces live with music. “It’s turning out to be quite an adventure.” Beyond Baroque presents “Aloud & Allowed” with host/curator Rich Ferguson and literary guests from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday, June 16, at Larry’s Loft, on the fifth floor of Hotel Erwin, 1697 Pacific Ave., Venice. Admission is free but donations are encouraged. Call (310) 822-3006 or visit beyondbaroque.org.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC SCOPING MEETING Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Environmental Assessment The Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) will hold a public scoping meeting/information workshop on an Environmental Assessment (EA) of the proposed LAX Landside Access Modernization Program.

Wednesday, June 22, 2016 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM Los Angeles Fire Station #5 8900 S. Emerson Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90045 PROPOSED ACTION: LAWA proposes to implement the LAX Landside Access Modernization Program to continue to transform LAX into a world-class airport by relieving traffic congestion within the Central Terminal Area (CTA) and on the surrounding street network, improving the travel experience for passengers, and providing connection to the regional Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Agency (MTA or Metro) rail system. The LAX Landside Access Modernization Program (the Project) consists of several primary components. An Automated People Mover (APM) system with 6 stations would transport passengers between the CTA and the other main components of the Project located east of the CTA, including a Consolidated Rental Car Facility (CONRAC), new public parking facilities and multiple locations for passenger pick up and drop off. To provide the opportunity for passengers to access the Metro regional rail system, the APM system would include a station at the multi-modal/transit facility at 96th Street/Aviation Boulevard planned by Metro as a separate and independent project. The LAX Landside Access Modernization Program would reduce traffic volumes and congestion within the CTA as well as on local streets. Project components associated with the LAX Landside Access Modernization Program include: 1) an APM system with six APM stations connecting the CTA to new ground transportation facilities proposed between Sepulveda Boulevard and Interstate 405; 2) passenger walkway systems connecting the APM stations to passenger terminals or ground transportation facilities; 3) modifications to existing passenger terminals and parking garages within the CTA for passenger walkway system connections and vertical circulation to the arrival, departure, and concourse levels; 4) intermodal transportation facilities (ITF) that would provide pick up and drop off areas outside the CTA for airport passengers and commercial shuttles, meet and greet areas, passenger processing facilities, and other amenities, parking, and access to the APM system; 5) a CONRAC that would be designed to consolidate car rental agencies in a centralized location with access to the CTA via the APM; 6) roadway improvements designed to improve access to the CTA from the freeway and provide access to the proposed ITFs and CONRAC; and 7) utilities needed to support the LAX Landside Access Modernization Program. PURPOSE OF PUBLIC SCOPING MEETING: The meeting will provide an opportunity for public comment concerning the Proposed Action, purpose and need for the Proposed Action, alternatives to the Proposed Action, and potential environmental effects of the LAX Landside Access Modernization Program to be analyzed in the Draft EA. The scoping meeting will be held in an informal open house format. Representatives from LAWA and study team will be available to talk with citizens about the environmental review. Graphics will be on display so citizens can review project details and attendees will have an opportunity to provide oral and written comments on the scope and content of the Draft EA. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The EA will be prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to examine potential impact categories as required by Federal Aviation Administration Order 1050.1F and Order 5050.4B. Once prepared, the Draft EA will be available for public and agency review and comment on the project’s website http://www.connectinglax.com. SCOPING COMMENTS: Comments can be submitted on the LAX website (http://www.connectinglax.com) or sent to Ms. Evelyn Quintanilla, Chief of Airport Planning, at the following address: Los Angeles World Airports 1 World Way, Room 218 Los Angeles, CA 90045 Phone: (800) 919-3766 Comments must be received by LAWA no later than 5:00 p.m. on July 11, 2016. Sign Language Interpreters, Communication Access Real-Time Transcription, Assistive Listening Devices, or other auxiliary aids and/or services may be provided upon request. To ensure availability, you are advised to make your request at least 72 hours prior to the. Due to difficulties in securing Sign Language Interpreters, five or more business days’ notice is strongly recommended.
