One shot Long Beach is still in the race to catch 2024 Olympic fever.

CJ Dablo Staff Writer

If Los Angeles does win the bid for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games, Long Beach has an opportunity to help play host to the world-famous event.

Last week, LA Mayor Eric Garcetti travelled to Rio de Janeiro to make his best sales pitch to the International Olympic Committee (IOC). LA is one of the final contenders to host the 2024 Olympic Games, and the IOC is expected to announce its choice in September. The other finalists are Rome, Budapest and Paris.

LA 2024 is the Los Angeles committee that works with Garcetti’s office to develop the LA plan for the games and bring the Olympics back to its city.

So far, none of the official material from its website made any mention of

Long Beach as a venue for any of the events.

In a phone interview with the Signal Tribune last September, Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia confirmed that he has expressed interest in renewing that partnership with his neighbor to the north, if the IOC does pick LA for 2024. Long Beach has been the venue for a few of the past Olympic events, including the last time LA hosted the games in 1984.

Garcia said in the interview from last year that the official plan submitted to the IOC was more of a “template,” however his office had already been in talks with LA before and after the plan was released.

“We feel pretty good about the fact that [when] the final plan is put in place,” he said last September, “which will happen in the next year and a half or so, that we will be part of… the bid.

So, that’s something that’s been a work in progress.” see OLYMPICS page 11

If Los Angeles does win the bid to host the 2024 Olympic Games, Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia has expressed interest in having his own city host a few of the venues. Long Beach already owns a piece of Olympic history through its past partnerships with its neighbor to the north when LA played host to the world stage of sports.

‘From concept to fruition’

Food lot centered around Steelcraft containers projected to open in late September.

Denny Cristales Editorial Assistant

More than a week after Steelcraft containers were placed on the corner of Long Beach Boulevard and Bixby Road, where a future food lot will take form, it seems that residents won’t have to wait long– a little over a month, as a matter of fact– before ordering a meal from the receptacles.

Steelcraft, a company that leases out refurbished shipping containers for retail and dining establishments, has been developing the food-lot project for more than a year now.

The lot will feature six eateries, a produce stand and an outdoor dining space that has a capacity for 139 people.

The containers are expected to open around Sept. 21, according to

Kim Gros, developer of the company.

Blair Cohn, executive director of the Bixby Knolls Business Improvement Association (BKBIA) who has played a part in planning the project, said Steelcraft is in the process of wiring up all the containers with utilities– electrical and plumbing, fixing up the aesthetic pieces for the area and pouring concrete to add additional parking spaces.

Cohn said those involved with the project are anxious to see it come together.

“We’re all thrilled to death.

We’ve been watching this for a long time,” Cohn said in a phone interview. “We’ve been talking about this for over a year, and I know it’s been a bit difficult going through the process, only because this is the first time it’s been done in Long Beach like this. We finally got it all worked out, and just seeing them on-site is pretty thrilling. We’re all pretty excited for the opening and watching this thing be a success. I think it’s good for our district and

for the city as a whole.”

The site will be home to dining options such as Working Class Kitchen, Smog City Brewing, Tajima Ramen, Pitfire Artisan Pizza, Steelhead Coffee, Waffle Love and a produce stand, according to Cohn.

The containers will serve as the eateries’ kitchens and workspaces– all “built specifically for their needs,” said Gros.

Customers will order food from the window of each container. From there, they can choose between three seating areas or take the product to-go, Cohn added.

Steelcraft developers are using wood-decking, as opposed to concrete, for the flooring, Gros said. A woods craftsman with the company is also building all of the tables out of metal and wood. AstroTurf will be used in place of grass.

“The space itself is industrial, but there is a warm feeling to it, as well,” Gros said in a phone interview. “We’re using a lot of different components. Different products.

Different feelings and textures. The

Police seeking info about shooting of family outside their home A 26-year-old woman and her 4-year-old daughter were shot and killed Aug. 6.

Cory Bilicko Managing Editor

The Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) is asking those who may have witnessed the shooting murders of a woman and her young daughter last Saturday to come forth with information.

The incident occurred around 10:15pm on Aug. 6, in the area of 9th Street and Locust Avenue.

When officers arrived shortly thereafter, they found that 26-yearold Carina Mancera and 4-year-old Jennabel Anaya of Long Beach had been struck by gunfire, according to police.

Long Beach Fire Department personnel pronounced Mancera deceased at the scene. Her daughter was transported to a local hospital in critical condition but was pronounced deceased early Sunday morning.

A preliminary investigation determined the two victims and the child’s father, Luis Anaya, 27, had just arrived home, and they were walking to their nearby residence, when the shooting occurred. A mo-

tive for the incident is unknown, and no suspect information was available at press time.

During a press conference Monday, Homicide Sgt. Robert Woods indicated the shooting was not gang-related.

“We’re going over all the witness statements,” Woods said. “You can imagine that...we went and talked to as many people here as we possibly could. We will re-canvas the neighborhood after we get as much as we can. We have as many boots on the ground on this as possible.

Investigatively, this is obviously one that we want to solve. At no time do we ever want to have a 4-year-old or her mother– the 26-year-old– gunned down for no apparent reason at all.”

Woods explained that the family had just returned from shopping and were unloading their car. The father was across the street from the two victims when they were shot, and he told police that shots were directed at him as well.

“Words cannot describe how heartbreaking it is to know that our community has lost two young innocent lives to gun violence,” said Councilmember Lena Gonzalez, who represents the 1st District, where the shooting took place. “As a mother of three boys, my heart

breaks for this young family in our neighborhood. I have spoken daily with Police Chief Robert Luna, and I am confident they are working hard to ensure that we are taking every step possible to find the person or persons responsible for this horrible crime. As a community, we also need to be vigilant and ensure we come together– and if we see something, please say something and report crimes right away.”

Patricia Costales, LCSW, crisis intervention specialist and CEO of The Guidance Center, located a few blocks away from the incident, released a statement Monday about the impact of the shooting.

“Our hearts break for the family of Carina Mancera and her daughter, Jennabel Anaya,” Costales said. “Community violence of any kind strikes the core of our being and can leave us feeling hopeless, especially after an act as unexplainable and senseless as this one. It is common for those who have experienced this trauma to feel scared, depressed, angry and confused. If left untreated, community violence can have a ripple effect that is far reaching and can have long lasting impacts. We encourage those who have experienced this type of trausee SHOOTING page 15

SH City Council appoints company to build stormwater capture facility Mike Bubalo Construction Company lands a $10-million contract with the city council to build the CalTrans project.

Sebastian Echeverry Staff Writer

Stormwater During its Aug. 9 meeting, the Signal Hill City Council voted to undergo a design-build agreement with Mike Bubalo Construction Company for the first phase of construction for the Los Cerritos Channel Sub-Basin 4 Stormwater Capture Facility.

The agreement allows the company to obtain the necessary permits and execute the construction process. The cost agreement between the council and the contractor is set at a cap of $10 million, which cannot be exceeded.

A selection committee– composed of members from the City of Signal Hill, the City of Long Beach, the County of Los Angeles Flood Control and the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans)– selected Mike Bubalo Construction Company as the ideal choice for the project from a total of four proposals the City has received since June 15.

The $54-million project, which is being built to capture zinc and copper fragments to prevent them from going into the channel, is able to hold 121 acre-feet of water, according to Signal Hill Public Works Director Steve Myrter.

Signal Hill Mayor Lori Woods questioned if there were old pipes in the anticipated dig site that the see COUNCIL page 6

y husband Steve says I am a hoarder. I say that I am not a hoarder because we don’t have to walk through our house like it’s a maze. In his defense I can’t take much offense to the label he has bestowed on me; we are surrounded by things and stuff at home and at work. If you have seen my office, you would agree with Steve.

I grew up in a household where we had family treasures and interesting belongings on every table, shelf and flat space in the house. In fact, when a little girl named Alma and her family visited us from an Indian reservation in Arizona, her reaction to our home was to say, “too much stuff.”

Although I still surround myself with things I consider to be monetarily or sentimentally valuable, I prefer to think of myself as a collector.

Watching shows like Antique Roadshow, Pawn Stars and American Pickers is very helpful in teaching me to understand the difference between what is truly worth hanging on to money-wise, and what is just pretty to look at.

Checking out eBay has also taught me a lot about what is and isn’t worth its weight in gold. I do

use eBay as a tool. However, I am aware that just because someone has listed an item on the website at a high price, it certainly doesn’t mean it will sell or that the asking price is the true value of the item.

As my father used to say, “asking isn’t getting.”

True, I understand that none of these sources may be as good as getting a professional’s opinion; however, over the years I have found it to be difficult to find a good appraiser, and I am sure that even if I did find one, the cost would be prohibitive.

Lo and behold, as my assortment of “valuables” grows, and my quest for validation seems more and more elusive, Signal Hill’s public library has come to my rescue with a free antique appraisal event that will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 17 from 6pm to 7pm. The library is temporarily located in the community center, as the city’s new library is being built. Keep in mind that a maximum of two items per person will be allowed, and according to the librarian, firearms and other weapons are not permitted.

If you are interested in attending the event, do call the library to register, (562) 989-7323. I will see you there.

Neighbors helping neighbors: Building community resilience by working together

By Richard Johnson “Southern California’s smaller cities and large businesses must take the threat of a crippling earthquake far more seriously than they have been,” a committee of business, public policy and utility leaders declared.

This quote taken from a recent article in the Los Angeles Times highlights the fact that despite all of our planning and training, the region is still not prepared for big earthquakes. In a significant earthquake, our emergency services– police, fire and emergency medical responders– will be saturated with calls for service.

The reality is, they will be busy assessing the entire city for damage and directing their efforts to the most critical emergencies. Our neighborhoods will need to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours before professional assistance can be expected.

In the type of emergency I just described, neighbors helping neighbors will be the primary source of assistance in those first 72 to 96 hours. Getting to know our neighbors is fundamental to building community resilience and disaster-response capacity. Signal Hill has secured a training program that promotes neighborhood disaster response, neighborhood cooperation, planning and community reliance. The program is called Map Your Neighborhood.

Map Your Neighborhood is simple, quick, fun and effective. Where other citizen disaster response programs can take weeks to complete, Map Your Neighborhood takes approximately 90 minutes. The program is delivered by neighbors to neighbors in the home. One neighbor takes a simple and quick facilitator training provided by Signal Hill, collects the materials (again provided by the City) needed for the program, invites their neighbors to attend a meeting in the facilitator’s home and delivers the program’s content. That content includes the nine steps to take immediately following a disaster: 1. Take care of your loved ones.

2. Dress for safety.

3. Check the natural gas or propane in your home.

4. Shut off water at the house main.

5. Place the provided “Help” or “OK” sign on the front door or window.

6. Put your fire extinguisher on the sidewalk.

7. After steps 1-6 are completed, go to the neighborhood gathering site.

8. Form teams at the site and assign tasks.

9. After your team has completed its task, go back to the gathering site and share what you have done.

A tough call to make?

Your Thoughts from the Publisher [Aug. 5, 2016] was spot on, and you used the same words I have spoken. Claiming they called before... exactly, liar!

Recently I called to get both mine as well as my mom’s phone number on the Do Not Call list. Was told to do this every five years. They responded that we are on the list with dates eight to 12 years before.

Yes, update the information.

Last week I had phone service problems. Thank you, Frontier. I could call out but did not receive phone calls. The silence of not having these intrusive phone calls was bliss. However, I was called on my cell phone; my mom had not been able to reach me [to] take her to urgent care. It is rough out there. There has to be a way to end these phone calls.

Map your Neighborhood can be used in a traditional single-family home block or condominium or apartment setting. The process is simple, and it promotes disaster preparedness and community bonding.

The materials provided by the city include: a Map Your Neighborhood disaster response “shingle” that details the 9 steps as well as other resources to be used before, during, and after a disaster; a CD that contains all of the forms and printed material needed for the program; and a DVD containing the guided program segments that take you and your neighbors through the entire process of preparation and response, including an exercise to run with your newly organized neighborhood response team.

The materials are available at the Signal Hill Community Services Department, 2175 Cherry Ave. Call (562) 989-7330. The DVD is returned when finished, and the shingles and CD are yours to keep and distribute as needed.

To sign up for a facilitator training session, please contact me at (562) 989-7239 or rjohnson@signalhillpd.org.

It is easy to prepare for a big earthquake. Map Your Neighborhood is a wonderful tool to help get us prepared for the inevitable earthquake, tsunami, flood or fire that will challenge us to respond and recover.

It’s up to us to take advantage of this tool, get to know our neighbors and Map Your Neighborhood.

The Signal Tribune welcomes letters to the editor, which should be signed, dated and include a phone number to verify authenticity. Letters are due by noon on the Tuesday before desired publication date. The Signal Tribune reserves the right to edit letters for grammar, language and space requirements. Letters must be 500 words or less.

The Signal Tribune will publish no more than one “pro” letter and one “con” letter on a particular topic in a single issue. The Signal Tribune does not print letters that refer substantially to articles in other publications and might not print those that have recently been printed in other publications or otherwise presented in a public forum.

Letters to the editor and commentaries are the opinions of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Signal Tribune or its staff. Although the editorial staff will attempt to verify and/or correct information when possible, letters to the editor and commentaries are opinions, and readers should not assume that they are statements of fact. Letter-writers will be identified by their professional titles or affiliations when, and only when, the editorial staff deems it relevant and/or to provide context to the letter. We do not run letters to the editor submitted by individuals who have declared their candidacies for public office in upcoming races. This policy was put in place because, to be fair, if we publish one, we would have to publish all letters submitted by all candidates. The volume would no doubt eliminate space for letters submitted by other readers. Instead, we agree to interview candidates and print stories about political races in an objective manner and offer very reasonable advertising rates for those candidates who wish to purchase ads. The Signal Tribune is published each Friday with a circulation of 25,000. Yearly subscriptions are available for $50.

He attended Lowell Elementary School in Belmont Shore and graduated from Banning High in Wilmington.

After being drafted into the Army, he served for five years, then worked as a trainer and delivered gas for Mobil Oil for 35 years.

Now, in his retirement, he spends time with his children and grandchildren, but he’s not dependent on them too much– he still drives. In fact, he recently purchased a brand-new car.

When asked to what he attributes his longevity, Funk said, “Just being nice to people and doing what’s right.”

What’s in store?

Taking over a location formerly occupied by a Fresh & Easy store, the Filipino market Island Pacific opened for business on Aug. 6 at 3300 Atlantic Ave. “Island Pacific is a Filipino supermarket serving the Filipino community but also aspiring to promote Filipino food to the rest of the world,” according to the company’s website.

Library The city council unanimously agreed to task 5M Contracting Inc. with the demolition of the old Signal Hill library.

On July 28, the City received two bids for the project. City staff decided that 5M Contracting Inc. was best suited to complete the task, stating that the company was in charge of the demolition of the old Signal Hill police station building, according to Grissel Chavez-Arredondo, Signal Hill deputy director of Public Works.

Placing $322,000 as its bid, 5M Contracting Inc. had the lowest bid count out of the two companies seeking approval from the City.

Ampco Contracting was the other company applying for the demolition project– placing its bid at $378,992, a price tag that the City was disinterested in. The original budgeted amount for the project is $500,000, however the City can authorize more funds if needed.

Chavez-Arredondo said the demolition is scheduled to begin by the end of the month and will be finalized at the start of September.

Road safety During the meeting, Signal Hill Police Captain Chris Nunley presented a slideshow called “Rules of the Road for Cyclists and Pedestrians.”

The presentation covered Signal Hill’s various rules for cycling and pedestrian safety.

For example, Nunley said cyclists should always ride in the same direction as traffic, not against it. He said that a majority of car-cycling accidents are the result of a cyclist riding into oncoming traffic.

Councilmember Edward Wilson asked the captain what the official law is when a car is waiting for a pedestrian to finish crossing the road before making a left turn.

“The letter of the law says that they need to be out of the roadway completely,” Nunley said. “I think

that if a pedestrian is past the median from where you are at, you have fulfilled your obligation to yield to the pedestrian.”

Officers Woods and Signal Hill Police Chief Michael Langston introduced Anthony Pacileo and Cody McNutt as new officers to the Signal Hill police force.

Langston said that Pacileo is a certified commercial diver, hyperbaric technologist, EMT and diver medic. Pacileo beckoned his mother, who was sitting in the crowd, to pin a police badge on his uniform during the presentation.

McNutt was also presented to the council. After a semester of junior college, McNutt enlisted with the United States Marine Corps, in which he served in a combat role in Afghanistan and was also admitted into Marine Security Guard school, according to Langston.

McNutt’s family was unable to attend the council meeting, so he had Langston pin the Signal Hill police badge on his uniform.

S T BACK TO SCHOOL 7 Wilson High runners use Big Bear’s altitude to train for fall AUGUST 12, 2016

IGNAL

Twenty-four members of the Wilson High School Cross-Country team traveled to Big Bear Lake to get some high-altitude training in this week, according to CJ Brewer, head coach of the Wilson Boys Cross-Country Team.

High school cross-country teams across the Southland will be following suit these last weeks of summer, as the hilly terrain helps prepare runners for the cross-country season this fall.

Wilson Cross Country has traveled to Big Bear for their week-long High

Altitude Training Camp for over 30 years. Runners log hundreds of miles in preparation of running in the altitude, where oxygen levels are lower than what they consider to be normal.

“Besides running in the hills twice a day, the week spent living together creates bonding opportunities that are essential to building a team,” said Head Coach Ed Hauck.

The Bruins will kick off their 2016 cross-country season on Sept. 3 at the Great Cow Invitational in Cerritos.

Nonprofit thrift store offering half-off sale on school supplies

* Does not apply to ‘Joining Fee Plus’ rates

The scramble to outfit students for the fall semester has begun, and one nonprofit is offering parents a way to save money while supporting the community. The St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store, 2750 E Pacific Coast Highway, will begin its back-to-school sale on Monday, Aug. 15, during which all school supplies will be half off.

“Uniforms, backpacks, books, lunch bags, any school supplies will be 50 percent off,” said assistant store director Jorge Menjivar. “The sale also includes office desks and file cabinets.”

From clothing to textbooks, every item sold in the store was donated by individuals and businesses. Because a number of major retailers regularly donate goods to the store, the shelves and aisles are often filled with designer items at deep discounts.

By purchasing supplies at the store, parents can not only save money but are also support the organization’s mission to assist the impoverished and the homeless of Long Beach.

“Every dollar that’s spent in the thrift store helps someone in the community,” said Manuel Sanchez, a Vincentian Services coordinator. “That money goes to people who need it, to help with rent, utilities, or medical expenses. It pays to stock food in the food pantries.”

The sale will end Wednesday, Aug. 31.

The 2016 QFilms Festival will open at the Art Theatre on Sept. 8 with the Long Beach premiere of Jewel’s Catch One, a celebratory documentary about the queer black woman Kiss Me, Kill Me, which includes actor Gale Harold of Queer as Folk who established Los Angeles’s landmark nightclub “for fame, is “a take on the classic noir murder mystery-thriller but with a Kiki features the young, multicultural participants of New York City’s famed drag balls. gay twist,” according to its director, Casper Andreas. gays, lesbians, bis, tris and otherwise.”

QFilms Fest returning for 23rd year with program of ‘killer’ features As LGBTQ themes become more mainstream, the gay film fest delves into new territory.

Cory Bilicko Managing Editor

F

or decades, film festivals dedicated to representing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) individuals were some of the few outlets available for gay filmmakers to highlight the unique issues and talents of their community.

However, considering that LGBTQ issues are becoming

much more commonplace in mainstream film and TV, including transgender characters and story lines, what types of territory are left for forward-thinking LGBTQ filmmakers to explore?

Michael Patrick Spillers, who wrote and directed Whittier Boulevard, one of the short films being screened during the QFilms Fest in Long Beach next month, says the intermingling of various communities is one theme to conquer.

“Now that LGBTQ issues are becoming more visible in the mainstream media, I think it is vital to tell stories about the ways in which we intersect with other

communities, particularly youth and communities of color,” Spillers wrote in an email to the Signal Tribune. “Young people like Devan represent our future, and it is so important that we work to share their stories, and to demonstrate the diversity within our larger community.”

“Devan,” to which Spillers referred, is 19-year-old Long Beach resident Devan Torres, a transgender actor who has been part of the film project– “a rock ‘n’ roll fable” about transgender teen runaway Andre falling in love with a rockabilly princess on the streets of East LA– from its genesis.

“Devan originated the lead role

in Whittier Boulevard three years ago, when he was only 16,” Spillers said. “The film began as a short theatre piece at Company of Angels in Los Angeles, and Devan auditioned for us through a teen acting class sponsored by Casa 0101 Theatre, a nonprofit arts organization in Boyle Heights. It has been so exciting to see Devan continue and mature in the role over the last three years, as we expanded the project to a short film. Devan brings an honesty and authenticity to the role that has always served as the heart of the story.”

Casper Andreas, whose thriller Kiss Me, Kill Me has garnered several audience awards– including Best Narrative Feature at FilmOut San Diego– and will be shown during the QFilms Festival, said his film takes a new approach to a classic genre.

“It’s very entertaining, and it’s a take on the classic noir murder mystery-thriller but with a gay twist– not something that I think has been done before, so I think audiences enjoy that aspect too,” Andreas told the Signal Tribune.

“But we also got awards for the cinematography, the score and several acting awards both for the ensemble cast and our lead played

by Van Hansis– and that, I think, is because all our actors are amazing, and I worked with a fantastic cinematographer, Rainer Lipski, and an incredible composer, Jonathan Dinerstein, who truly captured the film noir aspect in their work on the film.”

There seems to be no shortage of narratives for LGBTQ filmmakers to share these days. Porter Gilberg, executive director of the LGBTQ Center Long Beach, says the 2016 lineup for the QFilms Fest is the most diverse yet.

“We have so many different stories about the LGBTQ community– everything from the famous Catch One nightclub in Los Angeles, the current ball scene on the East Coast, young transgender activists and great narrative features from all over the country,” Gilberg said. “This year we’re

honored to screen a number of Los Angeles-based features and shorts, while also highlighting the best LGBTQ films around on the independent film scene.”

He said a volunteer programming committee that donates time to the screening process selects all the films.

“We review over 150 films every year for our 16 different programming spots,” Gilberg said.

“Our committee is incredibly diverse and includes Center staff and board members, film-industry professionals, professors, one of QFilms founders and folks who just really love LGBTQ cinema.”

The 2016 Long Beach QFilm Festival will take place Thursday, Sept. 8 through Sunday, Sept. 11 at the Art Theatre, 2025 East 4th St., and the neighboring LGBTQ Center of Long Beach.

The event is Long Beach’s longest-running film festival, having begun in 1993, according to Gilberg, and more than 1,500 people attend each year to view a mix of West Coast, Southern California and local premieres as well some of the most acclaimed features on the film-festival circuit.

Numerous filmmakers and cast members of the films will be in attendance for audience discussions after each screening, and festival events will feature parties and opportunities for attendees to meet and mingle with filmmakers, actors, critics and other industry professionals.

The festival will open at the Art Theatre the evening of Sept.

8 with the Long Beach premiere of Jewel’s Catch One, the celebratory documentary about the queer black woman who established Los Angeles’s landmark nightclub “for gays, lesbians, bis, tris and otherwise.”

It will be followed by the Los Angeles-area premiere of Rob Williams’s Shared Rooms, a “sexy and moving” story focused on several different gay men whose paths inadvertently cross between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. An opening-night party will see FESTIVAL page 11

Garments created by student designers from the fashion design and merchandising programs of Long Beach City College and Cal State Long Beach will be this year’s special feature at Runway: The Art of Design, a fundraiser benefiting Jewish Family and Children’s Service (JFCS) of Long Beach/West Orange County. The event will take place at 5:30pm on Thursday, Sept. 15 in the Amy and Richard Lipeles Auditorium at the Alpert Jewish Community Center, 3801 E Willow St. “Our intent is to showcase the creativity of these young designers in a setting that matches the spirit of New York Fashion Week,” said Wendy Manasse, who with her husband David Wiese, underwrites the expenses of the fundraiser. “Having professional models walk the runway in garments created by the next generation of fashion designers will make the event very special for the audience as well as the designers.”

Returning to the event this year is a segment in which professional models walk the runway wearing the latest fall fashions from Macy’s. The evening will begin with a reception featuring innovative salad creations and a signature cocktail, according to organizers.

JFCS Executive Director Kathryn Miles will speak briefly about the mission of JFCS and its impact on the Long Beach community and 22 surrounding cities as it provides professional, affordable mental health counseling and support for those who need help, regardless of religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation or disability. Former clients of JFCS will share their stories of the role that JFCS has played in helping them overcome mental health issues and regain their inner strength.

Long Beach resident Bonnie McCarthy, a nationally recognized design enthusiast, writer and photographer, will serve as the emcee for the evening. A former fashion editor for Teen Magazine and California Apparel News and a contributor to the Los Angeles Times, she has worked in Los Angeles, New York and Tokyo and has also been a style anthropologist.

“We are so lucky to have someone of Bonnie’s caliber and experience to serve as our host,” Manasse said.

There will also be an opportunity drawing for a New York fashion experience. The winner and a person of his or her choice will be flown to New York for a two-night stay and a tour of Hearst Magazines’ Marie Claire , including lunch in the employee café, a visit to the fashion closet and a tour of Good Housekeeping Institute. Tickets for the drawing are $100 each, and only 100 tickets will be sold. They will be available online and at the event until sold out.

A chance to walk the runway in today’s latest styles is also available to three individuals who donate $500 to JFCS. These three women will have their hair and make-up professionally done and will be outfitted by the show stylist. For more information on this opportunity, call Pattie Davidson at (562) 427-7916.

Event tickets are $40 per person in advance, $60 at the door if still available, and on sale at jfcsrunway. com or by phone at (562) 427-7916.

Jeff Millman, a spokesman for LA 2024, confirmed that Garcia was correct that the plan formally presented to the public had not been finalized. Millman said in an emailed statement to the Signal Tribune that LA 2024 is considering venues in Long Beach, among the other cities in the area.

“LA 2024 released an initial venue plan in February,” Millman said, “and is reviewing venue options for many sports across Southern California, including in Long Beach, for its final submission to the IOC due in February 2017. If a venue is added to the plan, LA 2024 would seek a use agreement with the venue operator.”

Last fall, Garcia said that sailing, diving, archery, beach volleyball and rowing were among the events that he would like to see Long Beach host again. The Long Beach mayor was not available for an interview for this story this week.

There is one other sport that had not been mentioned by anyone in the context of the LA 2024 Summer Games. Last week, the IOC announced that they would be adding surfing to the list of new events for the Tokyo 2020 Games.

When asked whether LA 2024 has considered a venue for surfing, Millman said in a statement that the event has only been added for the Tokyo Games.

Even if the event becomes a more permanent fixture among the other sports in future Olympiads, Long Beach has very slim chances of participating in surfing.

Long Beach used to be known as a premium surfing spot, however there are now breakwaters that were constructed in the harbor areas decades ago. There has been a diligent effort by environmental groups to remove at least part of the Long Beach breakwater, but the impact to the region is currently under study by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps has stated that the study that began in February 2016 is expected to take up to three years.

Seamus Innes serves as the chair for the Long Beach chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, one of the advocacy groups keen on getting rid of the breakwater. He offered a “bestcase scenario” that construction on the breakwater project could start in 2020. He acknowledged in a phone interview that he has been told that the three-year study could take less than three years, but it would be difficult to complete the study in that short time frame. He further explained that even if the study could be done quickly, it would be an “insanely positive assumption” that engineering, permits and contracting could be done within a year, but, he added, it “is not very realistic, but you know, possible.”

Long Beach used to be known as the “Waikiki of Southern California,” according to the Surfrider Foundation website.

Innes was asked about the city’s reputation for surfing. He explained that Long Beach didn’t have enormous waves.

“It’s just back in the day,” Innes said, “we had a really nice sandbar out at the LA River mouth, and the waves would just peel along that sandbar. But now that’s where the Queen Mary is and Shoreline Village and all that, so we wouldn’t expect that to return.”

The chances of Long Beach getting surfing back in time for the Olympics may be dim. It certainly won’t be ready in time for LA’s deadline to submit its final plan to the IOC in February. However, perhaps the chance to host other events may be within reach for the city by the sea. ✦
