Despite City agreement with FAA, legal challenges to closing SMO persist

MARINA ANDALON Daily Press Staff Writer

Santa Monica parents, educators and concerned residents are invited to take part in an event Saturday intended to educate them about the current realities of underage drinking and drug use at teen parties, other wise known as a Reality Party. According to the California Healthy Kids Survey 2014 – 2015, an SMMUSD survey showed 50% of high school juniors say they drink at least one per month. Similarly, the Santa Monica Cradle to Career Youth Wellbeing Report Card in 2014 said 1 in 3 students reported binge drinking in the last 30 days. Those are just the numbers. Since Jan. 2017, there have been two local Santa Monica teens who have passed away, Andre Zuczek and Leslie Hernandez. Zuczek, 15, was experimenting with LSD when he fell off an apartment building. Hernandez, 17, was found along the bank of the Los Angeles River in Long Beach. Authorities say her death is being investigated as a possible drug overdose. The two tragic losses has lead to the Reality Party. The event will offer parents a tour of a mock teen house party. Students from Santa Monica High School will depict scripted yet realistic scenes of overindulgent drinking games, the pressure to binge drink and the availability and accessibility of popular drugs. The party is meant to simulate a high school party and allows tour participants to view various scenes at a mock house party depicting binge drinking, drinking games, marijuana, prescription drug use and the risk of alcohol and sex. This is the third annual Reality SEE NON-PROFIT PAGE 7

AIRPORT CONTROVERSY: Two lawsuits challenge the City’s agreement with the FAA to eventually close Santa Monica Airport.

BY KATE CAGLE Daily Press Staff Writer

A Los Angeles pilot and a Santa Monica pilot-in-training have filed a lawsuit alleging the City’s agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration to shorten the runway and eventually shut down SMO violated the Brown Act. James Babinksi and Kate Scott filed a complaint in the Los Angeles Superior Court that alleges the secret meetings and closed session discussions between the City Council, the City Attorney, other

staff members and the FAA showed “lack of compliance with the Brown Act (and) utter disrespect for the open meetings laws and Constitution.” Conversations between City staff, the Council and the FAA were kept under wraps until the Council publicly voted on the terms of the agreement in January at a special Saturday meeting. The Council narrowly approved the settlement with a 4-3 vote. The Brown Act is California’s sunshine law, which governs local government meetings. The Act

permits closed-session meetings for pending litigation and situations involving significant exposure to litigation. Scott lives in the Sunset Park neighborhood just west of SMO and has invested in aviation lessons at the airport. Babinski works at the airport for one of the aeronautical service providers and is a private pilot. Both content they were denied their right to testify, speak and scrutinize the settlement agreement and eventual closure of the airport. Neither Scott nor Babinski

responded to the Daily Press’ request for comment. The City believes the lawsuit will be dismissed. “The City takes compliance with the Brown Act – the state’s public meeting law – seriously,” Interim City Attorney Joe Lawrence said. “Transparency is a core value of the City. We believe the lawsuit does not have merit and is contradicted both by what actually happened and the Brown Act itself.” SEE FAA PAGE 5

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Main Street

Main Street Business Improvement Association Gets City’s First Parklets Approved Main Street will get three Parklets this June after the Main Street Business Improvement Association (MSBIA), request for a pilot program resulted in a favorable decision from City Council over two years ago. The Parklets, “a concept first used in San Francisco to describe the conversion of a parking space for public use”, will be located at Ashland Hill, Finn McCool’s and Holy Guacamole, who’s owner, Joe Pipersky, first shared the idea with the Main Street Business Improvement Association, after noticing the unique structures on a street in San Francisco. Brandon Pipersky, who’s dad owns Holy Guacamole, was curious about the public spaces he and his dad saw in the Bay area and decided to do some research. “After learning about their tendency to increase foot traffic and boost local business”, Brandon and Joe presented the idea to the MSBIA, who then submitted the request to City Council. Not yet authorized in Santa Monica, City Council approved a one-year pilot project and budget, intended to evaluate the Parklets and determine future permit and application fees as well as operating costs. In the City’s staff report, it sourced studies in San Francisco and Chicago, that found Parklet programs attracted new visitors, encouraged a steadier stream of foot traffic throughout the day and week and helped local businesses. Main Street is a unique and charming collection of restaurants, boutiques, cafes, and services, but with spiking rents, high turnover and competition from neighboring, Third Street Promenade and Venice, the association hopes the Parklets will increase pedestrian traffic and promote the streets’ reputation as a place to relax in the sun or under the stars. The Main Street Business Improvement Association represents the businesses on Main Street in Santa Monica for the purpose of promoting and marketing the Main Street (BID) as a vital, safe, unique place for shopping, dining, and cultural experiences in Santa Monica.

THREATS AND COUNTERMEASURES

AP Technology Writer

Amazon already makes sure its TV commercials and those of its partners can't inadvertently trigger the speaker. Developers that provide Echo with "skills" that let it, for instance, order pizza, are also prohibited from creating Alexa commands that would trigger ads. Google says it also has techniques to block TV ads from activating Google Home. Neither company provided details on those techniques. Voice assistants are still in their "very early days," Google says; the company plans to "monitor and learn as we go." Hackers might also be a threat. But because voice assistants are so new and limited in scope, more established connected devices such as webcams, routers and printers pose more of a threat for now. "It's not that we won't see some creative or unique instance (of hacking), but I don't think this is going to be the next great wave of cybercrime," said Steve Grobman, chief technology officer at the security company McAfee.

NEW YORK Burger King pulled a pretty juicy marketing stunt last month that drew plenty of attention — not just to the Whopper, but also to the intrinsic vulnerabilities of a new type of voice-activated gadget. The fast food chain's 15-second television ad targeted Google Home, a speaker that can answer questions and control other smart appliances. When an actor in the ad said "OK, Google" and asked a question about the Whopper, Google Home obediently began reading the burger's ingredients in homes around the country — effectively extending the commercial for however long it took someone to shout "OK, Google, stop!" Google and Wikipedia quickly made fixes to shut it down. Though annoying, the stunt may have done some good by highlighting how easy it is to hijack such devices. (Just imagine a burglar spying a voice assistant and asking it to unlock all the doors.) It could also speed the development of home voice assistants with better security. "It's a wakeup call," said Earl Perkins, a digital security analyst at the research firm Gartner. "It's a harbinger of things to come." TRIGGER WARNING

Voice assistants such as Google Home, Apple's Siri and Amazon's Echo devices have always been susceptible to accidental hijack. A Google ad during the Super Bowl that used the phrase "OK, Google" reportedly set off people's devices. And in a January story that briefly turned a family into media celebrities, a woman's 6-year old daughter ordered a dollhouse and sugar cookies simply by asking Amazon's voice assistant Alexa for them. Since the devices are so new — the Amazon Echo debuted in 2015, Google Home last year — they're still having growing pains. And they're growing in popularity; Consumer Intelligence Research Partners estimates that Amazon sold 3 million Echo devices in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2016, bringing the total to more than 8 million. Amazon doesn't release sales figures. Many experts believe that deliberate attempts to trigger voice assistants will be short-lived. Among other things, brands have to face the consequences of potentially annoying millions of people. "Burger King was doing what the Burger King brand is known to do, stir controversy and make sure it gets lots of coverage," Forrester principal analyst James McQuivey said. "Very few brands want to do that." Of course, spammers and other bottomfeeding marketers can still try to implement the technique. But voice assistants already have a few ways to block them.

MORE SECURITY TO COME

But before long, the devices are going to need better security. "When you move into a world of voice, some of the rules that we're accustomed to, related to security for computers, change," Gartner's Perkins said. Exactly how that works could depend on exactly what task a voice assistant is performing. Asking about the weather requires less security than say, shopping or accessing a bank account. Amazon already has options for setting up security codes to shop, make financial transactions or unlock and start cars. Of course, someone could always overhear you reciting a security phrase. A better solution, and one that companies are hard at work on, would be to identify a person's voice, much the way Google and Facebook identify faces today. Beyond improving security, that technology could help the device personalize recommendations or even ads for the individual, not the whole family. Apple already lets users voice-train its Siri digital assistant so it's more likely to activate only when it hears a specific voice. Amazon has a voice training option for Alexa. Google Home can recognize up to six different voices, though it won't prevent unauthorized users from activating the assistant. Experts suggest that companies will eventually add cameras to voice assistants. Amazon's new Echo Look has a camera, but it's for offering fashion advice. Combining a facial scan with voice recognition would definitely beef up security, although they'll also create new privacy concerns. "Without any security or minimal security, (voice assistants are) going to be a fat target," Perkins said. "There will be all kinds of innovation associated with compromising these systems."

The two residents are not the first to file litigation to fight the consent decree in an effort to keep SMO open. In February, the National Business Aviation Association along with several other businesses and aviation groups petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals to review the agreement. On Thursday, three Circuit Court Judges denied the NBAA’s motion to halt all construction on the runway until the court can review the settlement. “We expected the D.C. Circuit Court to reject the injunction request,” Mayor Ted Winterer said in a statement Friday. “The City will continue to swiftly implement the terms of the Consent Decree, including shortening the runway, and mitigating health and safety impacts on our neighborhoods while the airport is in operation.” The consent decree included an agreement that the airport will remain open

through 2028 and dismissed litigation between the FAA and Santa Monica. The City is currently exploring two options to reduce the runway at SMO from 5,000 feet to 3,500 feet. The City Council will review the runway shortening options May 24 before the contractor, AECOM, can finalize the design, determine the final cost and set a construction timeline. While the judge dismissed the NBAA’s motion to halt construction, the order also referred the case to a merits panel to review the legality of the decree. “The order…makes clear that the court holds steadfast on the need to for a thorough and fair hearing about this unprecedented situation,” NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen said. “For decades, the NBAA has pursued all potential avenues for preserving business aviation access to the Santa Monica Municipal Airport, and we will continue to exercise every remaining option for doing so.”

Party in Santa Monica, and is meant to bring awareness and turn the spotlight onto youth substance use. “It’s a very eye-opening experience for adults. A survey of last year’s attendees showed they were most surprised to learn about the role of social media when it comes to getting the word out about parties and posting pictures,” Dana Sherrod, Representative of the Westside Impact Project. After the tour the debriefing session will be conducted by a panel of law enforcement, school administrators, substance abuse counselors, parents and youth in recovery to discuss what happened during the tour. Also to review possible strategies for creating change about underage drinking and drug use.

prevent them. The Reality Party is sponsored by CLARE Foundation and the Westside Impact Project, in conjunction with the City of Santa Monica, the Santa Monica Police Department, and the Santa Monica Unified School District. “The Reality Party is important for parents because it allows them to experience firsthand the realities of what is happening at parties today. They can then have more relevant and meaningful conversations with their teens around drug and alcohol use,” Sherrod said. She explains so far the reaction to these parties has been positive and hopes the event will prevent more tragedies from occurring. The event is open to adults only, especially parents of students in grades 6-12. It will take place at CLARE Conscious Recovery, 1334 Lincoln Blvd from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. For more information you can call CLARE foundation at (310) 314-6200 or visit http://clarefoundation.org/contact/.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 6)

By PETER GALLAGHER

Strange Brew

By JOHN DEERING

When you love someone, you tend to put up with a lot more from them than you would from anyone else. This applies to beloved endeavors as well, and both will work in your favor in a big way this solar return, as your labors of love will produce astounding results. Windfall months: May, August and December. Scorpio and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 30, 22, 29 and 17.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

The difference is you. You are the one who can change the negative into a positive, find the opportunity in limitation and make the most of each win.

Gather information, but don't react to it yet. There's more to come tomorrow. And even when you learn all the relevant details, be slow to make your next move. Play your cards close to the vest.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) There's no hurry. There's nowhere you have to be that is not where you are. Embody this, and the synchronicity you feel with your surroundings will make you most attractive to all kinds of opportunities.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Your aim is rather complex. Practice and repeat all the little parts. This is doable, but it does require a new neurological wiring in your head. Keep going over it until you can produce automatically and effortlessly.

Agnes

By TONY COCHRAN

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Although it's true that household chores go faster when done by others and financial details seem more affordable when someone else is paying, you're still determined to take charge and do it all on your own today. Go figure!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Sooner or later, community concerns will wind up being your concern. You may as well get involved now while opportunities to take on more responsibility will be super-lucky for you.

Half-hearted intensity won't produce halfhearted results; rather, it will produce nothing at all. You'll get what you want by committing fully to it. If you can't commit fully, you may as well find something else to want.

You may find yourself in an awkward position, but you shouldn't let this worry you too much. So much of life is awkward -- that is, if you're doing it right. Anyway, getting out of this is simple. Just tell the truth.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your love is like sunshine. People will come out of their comfort zones to feel your warmth. The sun doesn't worry about giving equally to everyone; it shines for all. You should do the same.

Dogs of C-Kennel

By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Take the calculated risk. It will improve your lot. And on a related note: Instead of making excuses as to why you should get together with that attractive someone, just confess your admiration!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) How do you make someone want what you have? Make sure they know this thing of yours is in limited supply, so rare that it's most likely unavailable to them or at least certainly very difficult to obtain.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) There's power in knowing what people want, especially if you're in a position to offer it. There's no one-size-fits-all answer here. Your talent for careful observation comes into play.

Lunar Fun Test Relationships will get tested with the lunar passage from the critical eye of Virgo to the partnering sign, Libra. The one who can extract fun from the not-so-fun times will win. This is a very good time for making rather ordinary plans with loved ones, especially dates. Those who can enjoy ordinary things will someday find extraordinary things all the more wonderful.
