Harrison Ford injured in golf course plane crash
BY JEFFREY I. GOODMAN Daily Press Staff Writer
14TH ST On any given night, federal
officials say, roughly 610,000 people in the United States don’t have roofs over their heads. Of those, some 144,000 are veterans. A rapidly growing portion of those is female. Homelessness is just one of myriad issues facing female veterans, and it will be among the topics discussed March 7 during a free conference in Santa Monica. SEE VETERAN PAGE 9

Actor Harrison Ford crashed his plane at a golf course near Santa Monica Airport Thursday afternoon, according to sources at the airport. Ford was piloting his Ryan PT-22, World War II-era singleengine plane after 2 p.m. when he hit the Penmar Golf Course, which is adjacent to the airport. “I came out. I hear a thud,” said Penmar employee Howard
Teba. “One of the golfers comes out and tells me that the plane just went down and sure enough: Beautiful yellow plane.” Airport Administrator Stelios Makrides said the plane performed an emergency landing on the golf course and sources at the airport, who asked not to be named, said that Ford had received a post takeoff call to return to the runway.

Let people decide Editor:
I read with amazement that renters’ rights advocates were outraged over Lease Buyout Now unfurling a sign at a football game last year. Have we reached a point where we think that individuals are incapable of making personal decisions about what is best for them — that we should somehow protect them from what they might see? Lease Buyout Now should not be in the position of having to defend their actions any more than renters’ rights advocates should be if they decided to unfurl a sign.
Jim Lawson Santa Monica
To Bibi or not to Bibi APPARENTLY SOME READERS THOUGHT I
was unfair last week for poking fun at Rudy Giuliani. You’ll recall that Rudy had asserted that President Obama “doesn’t love America because he wasn’t raised like you or me.” Frankly, his remarks were not only outrageous but bordered on racist. At a minimum, they showed shocking disrespect for President Obama and the office of the presidency. In the spirit of peace, however, I have an idea for a career change for Rudy. Over the years Giuliani has frequently appeared at public events as a drag queen. He does so for humorous effect, like on Saturday Night Live, and is remarkably good at it. He’s no RuPaul, but he’s infinitely better than Milton Berle ever was. Well, apparently Dame Edna (Australian comedian Barry Humphries), famous for her blue hair and cat eye glasses, is retiring from the drag queen comedy biz this year. The timing for Rudy to jump into the void couldn’t be better. But Rudy was last week. This week, on Tuesday, in a speech to Congress, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu blasted President Obama about his negotiations with Iran over their nuclear capability. To me, this was another in a long list of examples of disrespect to the president that is unique in modern political history. With Obama, it began even before he took office. Talk about a sore loser - the day after the 2008 election, Mitch McConnell told reporters that the GOP would do everything in its power to make Obama a one-term president and wouldn’t cooperate with any of his agenda. The height of the hypocrisy is that, six years later, they complain that Obama got nothing done. Shameless. But back to Bibi, who possesses great charm. His speech to Congress was masterful. (Though his comb-over hairdo seems to defy physics.) Bibi opened with a few jokes, which actually reminded me of comedian Shecky Greene, now 88. Even the names Bibi and Shecky have a showbiz ring. In fact, I’d have loved it if House Speaker John Boehner had introduced the Prime Minister, “Ladies and gentlemen, all the way from Tel Aviv, put your hands together for Bibi Netanyahu!” As it was, Bibi received 50 standing ovations. I’d like to share Jon Stewart’s take on that, but this is a family paper. After the joke-fest opening, and in scaring the you-know-what out of us, Bibi seemed to channel his inner Dick Cheney. (Imagine having an inner Dick Cheney.
Yuck.) Apparently, if Obama doesn’t do what Bibi suggests, we face a future filled with apocalyptic realities that Bush, Cheney and Condi Rice forecast with such enthusiasm in the buildup to the Iraq War. Of course, those forecasts had zero basis in reality and I’m convinced the neocon chicken-hawks knew it. While it’s certainly possible Bibi might be right, I’m still bothered by the timing of his appearance and the manner in which he was invited. But first, let me share a stunning irony. Bibi was a huge advocate for the Iraq War. And yet, curiously, the ill-fated and probably illegal invasion was the very thing that made Iran the dominant power in the region. The brilliant minds that conceived the invasion and toppling Saddam blithely ignored how it would unquestionably empower Iran. What Bibi warned us about Tuesday in Iran in such frightening terms, in a sense, he helped create. Go figure. And I got a real kick out of Bibi claiming that his speech was not intended to be political. (I could swear his nose started to grow.) Bibi is up for re-election in two weeks and his speech before Congress was shown in prime time is Israel. As the Church Lady used to say, “Isn’t that convenient?” Boehner invited Bibi to address Congress at the very time the Obama administration is in negotiations with Iran. Frankly, Boehner is one strange dude. This includes his various crying jags and also having a complexion a shade of orange not normally associated with humans. In fact, at Obama’s recent State of the Union, Boehner appeared to be more “a person of color” than Obama. Even stranger, perhaps, at a recent press conference, Boehner made kisses at a reporter who asked him a difficult question. You’ve gotta see it. Creepy! Whereas Bibi is nobody’s fool, apparently Boehner’s is everybody’s. He was so consumed with kissing Bibi’s substantial derriere, he once again lost a crucial vote in the House. (Funding Homeland Security.) Poor, sorrowful John Boehner. No wonder he cries so often. In two weeks, Israel will have its big election. Then we’ll find out if “To Bibi or not to Bibi?” is both the question and the answer. If he loses, I hope Bibi lets his hair down, although it looks pretty well stuck in place.

who has sought to broaden the appeal of the party with Hispanics launched an uphill campaign Thursday to become the next U.S. senator from California, a state that hasn’t sent a GOP senator to Washington since the 1980s. Assemblyman Rocky Chavez, a retired Marine Corps colonel from San Diego County, became the first established Republican to enter the 2016 contest to replace outgoing Sen. Barbara Boxer, a Democrat. Chavez is not well-known statewide, but his candidacy nonetheless changes the dynamics of a contest that had so far attracted only a single, major candidate - state Attorney General Kamala Harris, a Democrat. Asked whether he could win in a state where Democrats hold every statewide office and a 2.7 million edge in voter registration, Chavez said, “I know I can.” In a statement released by his campaign, Chavez contrasted his background in the military with the credentials of Harris, a former San Francisco district attorney. “If things get worse overseas, who would Californians want representing them in the Senate - a lawyer from San Francisco or a Marine colonel who knows how lives can be protected and understands the importance of keeping America and her allies safe and secure?” he asked. Chavez’s election to the Legislature in 2012 was seen as a success story for the Republican Party, which is often faulted for being too slow to adapt in a diversifying state. A Hispanic and grandfather, Chavez has been calling for immigration reform and has said the national health care overhaul should not be repealed by Congress. Chavez could help the party make inroads with Latinos, who now make up about 20 percent of voters in the state. National Republicans have made efforts to broaden the party’s reach with minorities, a vulnerability seen when President Barack Obama ran up large margins with black, Hispanic and Asian voters in his 2012 re-election. His candidacy also sets up a north-south rivalry with Harris, who has roots in the San Francisco Bay Area. “You now have somebody running on the
Republican side who is a proven vote-getter, who has held office,” noted Bill Whalen, a research fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution at Stanford University. “You also have somebody with a Hispanic surname, and someone from Southern California.” Two former state Republican Party chairmen, Tom Del Beccaro and Duf Sundheim, are also considering entering the race. GOP leaders concede that a Republican has only an outside chance of winning the Senate contest. It’s been a generation since a Republican carried California in a presidential election: George H.W. Bush, in 1988. “I feel very sad that we’re in this position right now,” Harmeet Dhillon, vice chair of the California Republican Party, told reporters last week in Sacramento. Chavez has spoken frequently about the need to retool the party’s message and make it more about family, education and safe communities while ending harsh words about people who entered the U.S. illegally. Chavez spent 28 years in the military, later founding a charter high school for business and technology, where he served as director. He was a member of the Oceanside City Council before being appointed in 2009 by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger as undersecretary for the state Department of Veterans Affairs. He later served as acting secretary. In the Legislature, Chavez has denounced the soaring cost of higher education and talked of the need to make health care affordable and available for all residents. He also focused on veterans issues, including providing tuition assistance. Chavez said he sees himself as a mainstream Californian - he has three children and five grandchildren, lives in a tract home and drives a 2002 pickup. He describes himself as a fighter, willing to take on long odds. Part of that job will be charming members of his own party because Chavez’s moderate politics could chaff conservatives in the GOP’s right wing, particularly on immigration. And he will face challenges raising money because donors are likely to be hesitant to finance a first-time statewide candidate facing substantial odds. “He has no chance of winning,” said Steve Frank, a longtime conservative activist and blogger from Southern California who is supporting Del Beccaro.

California lawmaker pushes child care worker vaccinations JUDY LIN Associated Press
SACRAMENTO In the wake of one of the worst measles outbreaks in recent history, a California lawmaker proposed a bill Wednesday that would require all child care and pre-school workers to get vaccinated against several contagious diseases. Because the workers have close contact with children, it makes sense to require them to be vaccinated against measles, pertussis, influenza and other diseases, Sen. said Sen. Tony Mendoza, D-Artesia. “We must do everything in our power to protect California’s children who spend time in day care,” Mendoza said in announcing his bill, SB792. Public health officials said more than 100 people in California have contracted measles, a highly contagious respiratory disease that can cause pneumonia, brain damage and death in rare cases. About two-thirds of those people visited or worked at Disneyland or had contact with somebody who was there. About two dozen other measles cases tied to Disneyland have been confirmed in six states, Mexico and Canada. Mendoza’s bill would require child care workers to comply with adult immunizations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including
influenza, pertussis and measles. Those workers currently face no immunization requirements. The bill was sponsored by public health officers. “This bill will help protect our most vulnerable citizens - infants and small children - from life-threatening communicable diseases, some of whom are too young to be vaccinated,” said Kat DeBurgh, executive director of the Health Officers Association of California. Child care operators were open to the proposal. “It’s a good idea,” said Sharon Coleman, who runs Loving Care for Kids in Suisun City and is immediate past president of the California Association for Family Child Care. “You can’t work with the kids if you come down with any of that stuff. It protects us.” Democratic lawmakers, Sen. Richard Pan of Sacramento and Sen. Ben Allen of Santa Monica, have proposed another bill that requires school children to get vaccinated unless a child’s health is endangered by vaccination. Under SB277, parents could no longer cite personal beliefs or religious reasons to send unvaccinated children to private and public schools. If the bill is passed, California would join Mississippi and West Virginia in enacting such stringent restrictions.

tal. Officials said he was alert, conscious and breathing but he was originally reported to be in critical condition by the Los Angeles Fire Department. His condition was upgraded to fair-tomoderate condition, according to Los Angeles Fire Asst. Chief Patrick Butler. The Santa Monica fire department also responded to the crash. “There were two doctors on the scene and they were giving him first aid,” Teba said. “He had a massive gash on his forehead.” Eli Karon, a real estate agent who works in the area, said he witnessed authorities responding to the crash. “I raced down and saw them pull a gentleman out of the plane and try to get him stable,” he said. Butler said single-engine plane crashes often cause deaths. “We are very thankful that it’s an area ... that didn’t impact residences,” he said. “These generally turn out quite traumatic.” Ford was the only occupant and no one else was injured. The National Transportation and Safety Board is now leading the investigation. The actor known for piloting the Millennium Falcon in “Star Wars,” a floatplane in “Indian Jones” and a spinner in “Blade Runner” has been active in the fight to keep the airport open. Last year, he and numerous other tenants of the airport filed a complaint challenging the often-disputed end date of an agreement that dictates who controls its 227 acres. Ford also contributed tens of thousands of dollars to a campaign that was ultimately rejected by voters but would have lessened City Council’s control over the land. The airport has long been a bone of contention for area residents who complain about the noise and pollution caused by the aircraft taking off and landing. Many neighbors fear for their safety, as the short runway is located about 300 feet from homes. In July 2010, Robert R. Davenport, 60, died after crashing a single-engine Cessna 152 near the eighth hole of Penmar Golf Course. The plane had just taken off from the airport. In 2013, four people were killed after a jet veered off the airport runway, slamming into a hangar and catching fire. The NTSB has

not concluded its investigation as to why that crash occurred. In 1970, Santa Monica City Councilmember Ken Wamsley was killed after his plane hit a house in the area near the golf course. “We are grateful there was no loss of life,” Mayor Kevin McKeown said of Ford’s crash. “Coincidentally, today I received a letter from an aviation consultant urging pilots to fly additional and unnecessary flights over Santa Monica neighborhoods, apparently as political pressure. This madness must stop.” Airport Commission Chair David Goddard, a vocal opponent of the airport, said the crash could have been even more disastrous if happened in a busier place. “Generally, the public is concerned about the planes operating over a densely populated area,” he said. “The city is well aware of the risks associated with operating an airport there.” Josh Ochs, a pilot who flies out of SMO, lauded Ford’s landing in a statement to the Daily Press. “Earlier today, Harrison Ford completed a perfectly executed forced landing,” he said. “He chose the Penmar Golf Course, an unpopulated area and no one on the ground was injured. This skillful landing can be attributed to his many years of pilot training at Santa Monica Airport.” He referred to the incident as a “forced landing” rather than a crash and said that the nose of the plane dug into a small hill at the golf course, causing the engine to partially separate from the firewall. He claims it was the only airplane incident in West Los Angeles in more than a year. A key deadline looms for the future of SMO. On July 1, the expiration of a 1984 agreement between the Federal Aviation Administration and City Hall is expected to give the latter more control of the airport. Council may choose to close a portion of the runway, making it less attractive to pilots. The Airport Commission recently asked council to raise airport leases to market rate and keep the terms month-to-month. Currently, commissioners said, some aviation tenants are paying vastly reduced rates. Some airport opponents have referred to this as a strangulation policy - making the airport less attractive to pilots rather than shutting it down. dave@smdp.com

HISTORY FROM PAGE 1
Home was brand new, enticing drivers to go fast, the archives said. William Ward, a veteran, was killed by a speeding driver earlier in March 1915. As a result, the home asked the county to monitor speeding drivers in the area. Allison was on that beat when a “mystery speeder” drove by. He gave chase on his motorcycle. As he drew close to the automobile, his bike struck a small stone, throwing him in the air at 45 mph, “as if he had been shot from a cannon,” the Times said. He turned several somersaults before hitting the road, rolling over and over, ultimately fracturing his skull and sustaining several internal injuries. A bystander drove Allison to St. Catherine Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. Auto-versus-pedestrian injuries were one of the most dangerous incidents of the time. Later in the month, an 84-year-old Santa Monica man was struck by a jitney bus in Downtown Los Angeles. Doctors did not expect the man to survive his injuries. SQUATTERS TESTED
Tent-dwellers were challenged by Pacific Electric a century ago. A half dozen squatters lived in tents on a 10-acre strip between the Pacific Ocean and a county road in Santa

The event, which will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the local YWCA, aims to help women who have served in the military return to civilian life by steering them towards a variety of social and community services. The YWCA has partnered with Santa Monica’s Commission on the Status of Women as well as the local chapter of the National Association of Black Military Women and the Quinn Research Center to host the seminar, which will run from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The conference, organized during Women’s History Month, will feature keynote speakers Barbara Ward, director of the Center for Minority Veterans, and Fatma Batuman, a Veterans Affairs women’s health medical director. “We are eager to join the many organizations on Los Angeles’ Westside already serving veterans by launching programming targeted specifically to the needs of women veterans,” Julia Miele, executive director of the local YWCA, said in a news release. The seminar will cover numerous topics, including affordable housing, job placement, legal aid, financial literacy, preventive health, nutrition and fitness - even artistic

Monica for more than six years before Pacific Electric claimed ownership, according to the L.A. Times archives. Pacific Electric had a deed from the Santa Monica Land and Water Company, which got the land from the Reyes estate. Judge Wellborn would make the final call in the suit. PIER REPLACEMENT
City Council gave Ernest Pickering permission to rebuild a “tented city” to replace the burned out iconic Dragon’s Gorge. Dragon’s Gorge was an impressive multi-block structure, built right on the water, that included, among other things, “The House of Mystery” and a roller coaster called the “Scenic Railroad.” It burned down with the rest of Fraser’s Million Dollar Pier in 1912. Pickering got a long-term lease of the sand and hoped to get a “pleasure place” up and under construction by the end of the summer. NOTABLE DEATHS
Wesley Dow, the father of former Mayor Roscoe Don, died at 80 years old after a life as a seaman, in March of 1915.

expression. Representatives from Community Corporation of Santa Monica, Chrysalis, Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, Westside Family Health Center and the local police and fire departments will be on hand to share information and address veterans’ concerns. “What is unique about this conference is the bringing together of a wide variety of local community organizations to facilitate sessions that address the most important needs of women veterans at this time,” Col. Irma Cooper, president of the local NABM chapter, said in the release. The day will end with a panel discussion and follow-up with attendees regarding their specific needs and issues. According to Carolyne Edwards of the Quinn Research Center, a foundation that keeps records of African-Americans who have lived in Santa Monica and Venice, information gathered from conference attendees could impact how local groups spend their time and resources to support female veterans in the future.

to pick up where he left off last season. The reigning National League MVP and Cy Young Award winner retired all six hitters he faced in his spring debut and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Chicago White Sox 6-1 on Thursday. Kershaw struck out three, including White Sox slugger Jose Abreu looking on a slow curve. “It felt good,” Kershaw said. “The first one is just good to get out there and make sure you feel good physically. The results are obviously something that you look for, but maybe not the most important thing. “Overall, a good first day.” Kershaw, already a three-time Cy Young Award winner at 26, was 21-3 with a 1.77 ERA for the Dodgers last year. “It seemed like he’s been kind of hit in the last couple of springs, if I remember right,” manager Don Mattingly said. “He was really sharp. His breaking ball was good, it looked like command was good.” Kershaw was pleased with the early results. “I was able to work in all my pitches and make some adjustments when I needed to,” he said, adding that he left a few sliders up in the first inning, but fixed that issue by the second. Kershaw’s velocity and pitches seemed to be there Thursday. His next start is Tuesday against Colorado, in building toward opening day on April 6, when Kershaw will face San Diego at Dodger Stadium. “The way you build up arm strength, hopefully your velocity is there at the outset,” Kershaw said. “But you want to be able to do that in the regular season. At least for me, it doesn’t change a lot.” Yasiel Puig, in his spring debut, drove in a run with a groundout against White Sox starter John Danks, who also went two innings. He gave up two hits. Los Angeles’ O’Koyea Dickson doubled in a run in the sixth and Kyle Jensen hit a tworun homer off Michael Ynoa in the eighth. Courtney Hawkins homered in the ninth off Jeremy Kehrt for Chicago’s only run. FIRST OUTING
Danks, 29, has the longest tenure of any player with the White Sox as he enters his ninth season with Chicago. He has had to make his own adjustments after undergoing shoulder surgery in 2012. Asked what the difference with him early in his career and now, Danks said: “About 6 miles an hour. I feel like I know more about what I need to do than I did back then. I know I was just relying on pure talent. I’m now having to be a little smarter and trying to keep the ball in the ballpark. That’s a big thing for me. Trying to get as many ground-
balls and weak contact as we can. “If we are able to do that, it will be a good year.” CLOCK CHECK
Kershaw said he was aware of the new game clock in between innings in the bottom of the first inning. “I did my normal routine in between innings, but I realized it clicked down to zero before I had thrown a pitch in the first inning,” he said. “I don’t know if the batter was in the box. I don’t know whose fault that is, but it definitely was at zero.” LATE STARTS
Mattingly said that pitchers Hyun-jin Ryu and Zack Greinke will make their spring debuts next week. Greinke, who had a lubricating injection in his right elbow as a precautionary measure in an attempt to head off spring deadarm issues, will throw batting practice Friday and start Wednesday. Ryu (back spasms) will work against hitters Saturday and start next Thursday. CLOSER MIX
With Kenley Jansen out for a while, Mattingly said it’s too early to be concerned about that temporary vacancy in the Dodgers’ bullpen. In fact, the manager looks at the positive aspect “You get a chance to look at some guys,” he said. “It’s kind of a fun camp. Some of the guys, the only place you’ve seen them is on tape, and looking at the numbers. So to get a chance to look at them over the course of the spring, hopefully we can settle this a little bit.” Jansen, who underwent surgery on his left foot two weeks ago, is likely to miss the first month of the regular season. He had 44 saves with a 2.76 ERA for the NL West champs last season. UP NEXT
White Sox: First-round draft pick Carlos Rodon starts Friday against San Diego in Peoria, Arizona, in a more-anticipated spring game than usual. “We know he’s got talent,” manager Robin Ventura said of the No. 3 overall draft pick last June. “I’m sure he’s somewhat nervous, the first time you go out there and do this either in a spring training crowd or your own teammates.” The original plan for Friday was to start Chris Sale, but the All-Star left-hander has a broken bone in his right foot and will be sidelined for at least two more weeks. Dodgers: Left-hander David Huff will start against the Mariners at home while Zach Lee faces the Brewers at Maryvale. Brandon McCarthy, signed as a free agent in the offseason, makes his Dodgers debut Sunday.

Brewers’ Lohse,Angels’ Santiago sharp in 1st spring outings JIM RICHARDS Associated Press
TEMPE, Ariz. Milwaukee ace Kyle Lohse and
Los Angeles rotation hopeful Hector Santiago both had solid spring training debuts in the Angels’ 3-2 victory over the Brewers on Thursday. Lohse, 13-9 with a 3.54 ERA last season, allowed one hit and one run with three strikeouts in 2 1-3 innings. Lohse retired the first six batters he faced. He allowed a leadoff double to C.J. Cron in the third. He later scored on Mike Trout’s infield single off reliever Ariel Pena. “It felt really good,” Lohse said. “It was kind of a continuation of what I’ve been doing in my bullpens and my live (batting practice outings). I was going out and just doing what I normally do: get ahead of guys and try to mix it up.” Santiago struggled early in 2014 and was demoted to the minors. But he recovered to go 6-9 with a 3.75 ERA. He allowed one hit with a walk and a strikeout in two scoreless innings. “That was intense,” Santiago said. “I started breaking a sweat before the first pitch.” Cron had 11 homers and 37 RBIs as a rookie last year and is in line to receive more at-bats this season, along with newcomer
Matt Joyce, with Josh Hamilton’s status uncertain. Cron went 2 for 2. “C.J. was on some pitches,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “We know what a threat he is on the offensive side. Hopefully, he’s going to grow from where he was last year.” Scioscia said he would use Cron against righties and lefties. “He projects out as a guy who hits against anybody,” Scioscia said. “His upside is definitely to be an everyday hitter. He’ll get there. It’s going to take a little bit of experience. He’s made some adjustments.” STARTING TIME
Lohse was happy with his first outing of spring training. “(I’m) just trying to get back in that groove right now and remember the little things you do in between pitches to get your mind right,” Lohse said. “Everybody needs a reminder of the small stuff. Once we get going, I’ll worry about refining the stuff, but right now, if I could stay right there and build my pitch count right up I’ll be pretty happy with the spring.” Santiago is believed to be in a three-way race for the fifth and final spot in the Angels’ starting rotation with newcomers Andrew Heaney and Nick Tropeano.
WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE CARELESSNESS OR NEGLIGENCE OF OTHERS.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Angels: Right-hander Garrett Richards will next pitch to live hitters, according to Scioscia. Richards had a breakthrough season in 2014, going 13-4 with a 2.61 ERA, before rupturing the patellar tendon in his left knee last Aug. 20 at Boston while covering first base. Richards took fielding practice off a mound for the first time Wednesday. TROUT FISHING
Trout, the defending AL MVP, swung at the first pitch and flew out deep to rightcenter field in his first at-bat. He told reporters earlier in camp that he could do more first-pitch swinging in an effort to cut down on his league-leading 184 strikeouts from a year ago. He took a pitch before singling in a run in his second trip to the plate. “I’m looking to drive the ball and cut down on the strikeouts,” he told reporters Thursday. Scioscia downplayed any major adjustments in Trout’s approach to the plate. “I don’t think Mike’s going to change too many things,” Scioscia said. “But I know a couple of things like being able to bring a bunt here and there to a game and being able
to jump on the first pitch, they’re going to be small adjustments. “He’s already made adjustments to get from point A to point B. There’s obviously no major overhaul. He’s going to be as aggressive as he needs to be. It’s not going to be anything major. Mike’s going to play his same game.” ON THE CLOCK
Santiago said he noticed the new between-innings clock that demands pitchers be on the mound with 20 seconds remaining on the two-minute clock. “It definitely came into play,” he said. “You turn around toward second base and it’s like, ‘Woo, 12 seconds.’ I felt that I was rushing sometimes because of the clock. I guess it’s good for us (as) we’re not thinking too much. I think it’s going to be OK. The first day is when you figure it out.” Lohse was also aware. “I still have to slow down,” Lohse said. “I was too fast. (Umpire) Jerry Lane was telling me 20 seconds is when they want me on the mound and I finish up at 50, so I’m always standing out there behind the mound waiting for that clock to click down to 20. I try to work fast and get the job done and get out of there.”

time apparently for good. Steven Gerrard is on his way, but won’t arrive for four months. When the LA Galaxy begin defense of their third MLS Cup title in four seasons Friday night, that gap between their former and future scoring stars is just one challenge in a season full of obstacles. A team with less experience in such highstakes endeavors would be understandably worried. The star-studded Galaxy have done it all before, and they’ve emerged with more trophies and rings than any franchise in MLS history. “With all due respect to Landon, I think everyone has moved on,” defender Omar Gonzalez said. “Everyone thanks him for his service and what he’s done for our club and country, but we can’t think about him every day. We’ve got to worry about the guys who are here and who can make an impact on this team. He has missed stretches of games, and we’ve played without him before. We’ve done absolutely fine without him.” The Galaxy host the Chicago Fire at StubHub Center as MLS kicks off its 20th season after narrowly averting a labor stoppage. Donovan had been a fixture in the Galaxy’s lineup for most of the previous 11 years, becoming the top scorer in MLS history and the most accomplished American soccer player. Yet when he announced his early retirement last year, the Galaxy already were at work filling his designated player spot with Gerrard, the Liverpool star who will join the club in July. That’s how things are done by the fivetime MLS champions, who attract top talent with big salaries, a popular city and a winning tradition. Donovan and David Beckham blazed the trail followed by current MLS MVP Robbie Keane and Gerrard, along with a gifted core of supporting players. The resulting attention and scrutiny are just part of the job, and the Galaxy embrace it. “I remember when I first came into the league, we had sellout crowds because of David, and people wanted to beat us because of David,” said Gonzalez, a U.S. national team regular and one of MLS’ top defenders. “People want to beat us because
we spend money on players, but we’re winning championships, too. Everyone is marking us on their calendar for the day they’ve got to show up. ... It makes our season harder than any other team has it, because no game is easy for us. We’ve got to work that much harder.” Aside from Donovan’s departure, the Galaxy’s roster looks much the same. Marcelo Sarvas, their fourth-leading goalscorer last season, was traded to Colorado, and they re-signed former LA striker Edson Buddle for an audition. But Galaxy coach Bruce Arena has constructed a solid foundation around the best player in MLS last year. Keane has won the MLS Cup in all but one of his four seasons stateside, and the Irish captain appears primed for another high-scoring year up front. Until Gerrard’s arrival, Arena is likely to try several strategies to fill the hole left by Donovan, who accounted for a third of LA’s scoring last season. Teenager Bradford Jamieson IV probably will get a shot, and forward Gyasi Zardes could build off his recent U.S. national team success by moving back to the spot at times. Stefan Ishizaki, Baggio Husidic and Juninho all must raise their offensive games to replicate Donovan’s activity and service. “We have plenty of options,” Arena said. “You lose players each and every year, and this year our loss is Landon. We’ve had other losses in the past, and you’ve got to move on.” Away from StubHub Center, the Galaxy know how to handle the potential distractions of all the hoopla surrounding a championship defense. A few weeks after their season finally ended in December, the Galaxy made their latest White House visit and did a preseason tour of Europe with games in Sweden and Ireland. But aside from a banner unveiling at Friday’s home opener, the Galaxy decided to get all of their championship festivities finished well before the season. At an intimate team dinner in downtown Los Angeles this week, the Galaxy received their championship rings - delivered on silver platters, no less. “We’re used to getting them on the field before a game, so it was good to get this over with,” defender A.J. De La Garza said. “We can just clear our heads now, because 2014 is over and we’re moving forward.”

■ Perspective: ISIS’ very public recent executions of a Jordanian pilot and two Japanese citizens were met with starkly different reactions. In Jordan, King Abdullah II led his nation in a call for bloody revenge. In Japan (according to a February Associated Press dispatch from Tokyo), feelings were mixed because of “meiwaku” -- Japan’s cultural feeling that the dead victims (and their families) were “causing trouble” by placing themselves in harm’s way. Said one man cited by the AP, “In the old days, their parents would have had to commit hara-kiri to apologize.” In fact, both victims’ families did repeatedly apologize for inconveniencing the government, which had
SHEPARD
warned citizens to stay away from the war zone. ■ Point Taken: At a February meeting in Geneva of the U.N. Conference on Disarmament, regarding whether meetings should be open to the general public, the representative from Belarus expressed alarm because of potential problems for the security staff. “What if,” he asked (according to a Reuters report), “there were topless ladies screaming from the public gallery throwing bottles of mayonnaise?” (According to the official summary, the Mexican delegate apparently earnestly pointed out that some U.N. meetings were already open to the public, but as yet there had been no mayonnaise-droppings.)

The Santa Monica Police Department responded to 347 calls for service on March 4.
S T A F F
Crime Watch is culled from reports provided by the Santa Monica Police Department. These are arrests only. All parties are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
ON FEB. 25 AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30 P.M. Officers were dispatched to the Louis Vuitton store located in Santa Monica Place in regards to a suspicious person, later identified as Garnik Yesayan, 25 of Van Nuys. An employee at Ben Bridge said Yesayan had just purchased a $4,000 watch when a call came in from the victim stating that her credit card was just used for a large purchase there; a purchase she had not authorized. The employee noticed that Yesayan was on his way to Louis Vuitton. While at Louis Vuitton, Yesayan and a second subject, later identified as Alen Galstyan, 19 of Arizona, proceeded to select a purse for purchase. While the transaction was being completed, the Ben Bridge employee contacted the sales representative at Louis Vuitton to warn her that the subject in her store had just used fraudulent information to make a purchase at Ben Bridge. Officers stood outside of the Louis Vuitton store and waited for the subjects to exit before they made contact. The subjects
became aware of the officers presence and tried to exit from a different direction but were not successful. Officers ordered the subjects to exit the store and asked Yesayan to have a seat. Yesayan proceeded toward the officer, threw the Louis Vuitton bag at the officer and began to run. The foot pursuit ensued when Yesayan began fighting the officers at which point the struggle moved from the sidewalk to the street. At some point, Yesayan was able to pull away and continue running, eventually he stopped and was taken into custody without further incident. Further investigation into this matter led to mall security identifying, Avanes Zirakian, 33 of Glendale, as a possible third accomplice. Zirakian was found to have in his possession several fraudulent cards and a purse that was purchased with fraudulent information. Yesayan was arrested for battery on a police officer, identity theft, conspiracy and resisting arrest. He was held without bail. Galstyan was arrested for identity theft and conspiracy. Bail was set at $50,000. Zirakian was arrested for identity theft and denied bail.
