GOALS: A local soccer team is trying to pay for a trip to a tournament.

ANGEL CARRERAS Daily Press Staff Writer

Scoring on the field is nothing new to the Santa Monica United Football Club boys 2002 team, who found success with a win in their league’s State Cup and in the Southern California sectional playoffs. Now it’s players hope to score their next goal: fundraising for their travel to compete in the Far West regional cup in Utah.

For only the fourth time in the football club’s history, Santa Monica will be represented by a state cup champion at the 2018 USYS Far West Presidents Cup. “It’s been an interesting season,” Ryan Banchik, player for SMUFC said in a phone call with the Daily Press. “We’ve been playing in tour-

GRADES: Heal The Bay released their annual report cards for local beaches this week and the organization also provides regular updates on beach health via their NowCast website.

MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor

The Santa Monica Pier Beach continues to be one of the most polluted in the state according to the annual Beach Report Card released yesterday by Heal the Bay. The Pier has received a failing grade for the past six years due to a variety of systemic issues but officials said there’s hope for improvement in the near future.

Heal the Bay’s president, Shelley Luce, said the local spot was in the top 10 worst beaches in the state this year.

“The seventh most polluted beach in the state is right here at the Santa Monica Pier,” she said.

“The humid conditions under the pier, the many flocks of birds that like to hang out here and storm drain runoff from the land are likely culprits in the high bacteria levels at the pier.”

Luce said storm water runoff is a significant problem statewide but credited the City for working on the problem and said construction of a new runoff storage tank could help prevent pollution from reaching the beach.

“It will hold water even during rainstorms and

Representation will be vast in the cup, as state champions from as far as Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington and Colorado will be participating in Utah.

To hit their goal and play for the regional cup, the team needs to raise roughly another $6,000 to complete its $12,000 fundraising goal. The team has set up a GoFundMe campaign and has also

Case SA098166 includes special allegations of personal use of a knife and commission of sexual offenses during residential burglary.

Jensen pleaded not guilty to the charges yesterday and is due back on July 11 to set a date for a preliminary hearing in Department W31 of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Airport Branch.

On June 3, the defendant allegedly broke into the victim’s apartment and once inside, sexually assaulted the victim, the prosecutor said.

The Pier

Santa Monica Pier Seeking Volunteer Docents The Santa Monica Pier Corporation is currently seeking volunteer docents to guide visitors through the rich history of the century-old Santa Monica Pier. Docents will be trained to share fascinating stories about the apartments above the Merry Go-Round, celebrity lore surrounding such icons as Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin, and the legend about a certain fishing boat captain who became immortalized as a world-famous cartoon character.

Docents will operate out of the Pier Shop inside the historic Merry Go-Round Building and will provide information on site as well as take visitors on walking historical tours.

Those interested in being docents need not be experts – yet. Training sessions will be held in mid-July.

Docents will be required to work on their feet as well as to walk the length of the Pier two to three times per day. Docent shifts will be late morning/early afternoons on Saturdays and Sundays and on weekdays during peak seasons. Expected participation is one-to-two days per month, or more if desired.

Interested volunteer docent candidates can contact Lara Talatinian at lara@santamonicapier.org or call (310) 458-8901.

prevent it from flowing into the ocean here and we expect that will make a huge difference in cleaning up the water quality,” she said.

The storage tank will divert about 1.6 million gallons of water to the city’s urban runoff recycling facility. The water will be cleaned and used for non-drinking purposes such as irrigation. City officials said the work will be finished this fall.

In good news for local beaches, Mother’s Beach in Marina Del Rey surged in quality this year and after receiving three F’s and a D in past years, the popular beach scored an A this year.

“We’re very happy there have been improvements there and that’s largely due to the work of L.A. County,” said Luce.

Heal The Bay tracked 94 beaches in Los Angeles County based on weekly bacterial pollution levels. For the high-traffic summer months, 97 percent of county beaches scored an A or B, a six percent increase from the five-year average. The relatively dry year actually helped beach health as a lack of rain means a less runoff on the beaches.

Luce said beachgoers should generally avoid shallow, enclosed beaches with poor circulation and swim at least 100 yards away from storm drains, creeks or piers. In addition, she said locals can use the newly redesigned beachreportcard.org website and

the improved NowCast water quality tool that uses years of environmental data to predict water quality in real time.

“This summer, we’re excited to expand our program to up to 20 beaches.

Predictions will also be available earlier in the morning, so surfers and early risers can benefit from the NowCast system too,” said a statement from Heal The Bay. According to Heal the Bay, all county health departments in California are required to test beach water at least once a week during the summer season and many track pollution year round. Heal the Bay uses that data to compile their grades.

Luce said the report is part of the organization’s mission to preserve and educate.

“Health the Bay’s annual beach report card is guided by two important principles,” she said. “No one should get sick from a day at the beach and we have the right to know if our favorite beaches are too polluted to use.”

Local beaches that made the Honor Roll this year include: El Matador State Beach (Malibu), Escondido State Beach (Malibu), Dan Blocker County Beach (Malibu), Las Tunas County Beach (Malibu), El Segundo Beach @ Grand Ave. (El Segundo), Bluff Cove (Palos Verdes Est.), Abalone Cove Shoreline Park (R.

Jerry’s Podcast Debut at Age 96

Courtesy photo

PARTY: Katie Miller (left) and Jerry Rosenblum are working on internet projects together.

OVER THE YEARS, I’VE WRITTEN ABOUT

Jerry Rosenblum who moved here in 1963 and is nothing short of inspiring for a variety of reasons. For starters, in what seems like an ageist culture, Jerry is extremely proud of being 96. (Actually, he recently noted he’s now technically 96 ?.)

Among Jerry’s most admirable traits is his thirst for learning. Emeritus College ought to have a statue of him like there is of Kobe Bryant at Staples Center. Only instead of a basketball, Jerry would be holding a book.

Every week, Jerry takes three classes at Emeritus: Current Events, Voice Instruction and a film class, Dramatic Interpretation Through Movies. He also frequently walks to the Main Library to hear authors discuss their latest books. Socially, Jerry takes cruises around the world, entering amateur talent competitions aboard ship and often wins.

Back home, Jerry loves to sing karaoke and can still rock the house at 96.

Going back to his childhood, Jerry’s father passed when Jerry was only 12 and soon thereafter he needed to help support his mother and younger brother. Once he retired, Jerry pursued passions that all these decades took a backseat to making a living.

One of those passions is singing. (Google: “Jerry Rosenblum sings.”)

Another of Jerry’s passions is story telling about famous people he’s befriended during his career as a salesman of high quality men’s clothing. He even wrote an amusing memoir, “Guess Who I Ran Into Today.”

Jerry’s greatest passion is living life every day to the fullest. Because of his remarkably positive attitude he attracts wonderful friends of all ages. One of his dearest is Katie Miller a Senior Marketing Manager with Uber. While Jerry’s 96, Katie is 26. Last September I wrote about their unique relationship, “A Friendship of the Ages.”

Katie and Jerry first met four years ago when she began donating her time and computer expertise to the Silvercrest Senior apartment building where Jerry lives. Missing her parents and Grandparents in Connecticut and her grandfather in Florida, it was gratifying for Katie to help seniors. And even though Jerry didn’t have a computer, the two struck up an immediate friendship.

Last year, when Katie went to Europe on business, she and Jerry exchanged dozens of post cards. When she returned, Jerry threw a joyous Welcome Home party for her and her many friends most of whom have become Jerry’s friends. (I “smell”a movie or a TV show.)

While Jerry doesn’t have a computer, Katie is

turning him into a soon-to-be star on the Internet. She’s the one who posted his singing on YouTube but the latest is on Instagram.

Katie created an account for Jerry and every week posts Jerry’s insightful and often funny answers to questions she posed to him the week before. Jerry now has 12,000 followers and counting! (I’ve been on Twitter for eight years and have a grand total of 866 followers. Ouch.)

Last January, Jerry got so many Instagram inspired birthday cards and letters (via snail mail, no less) from all over the world that Katie had to get him a P.O. Box. He also got presents including birthday cookies, chocolates, t-shirts and even two gallons of ice cream from Pennsylvania packed in dry ice.

Six months later, Jerry’s still getting birthday greetings! Never having had children of his own, Jerry’s become an Internet grandfather. (I don’t get cookies or ice cream from readers but occasionally receive “Dear Idiot” emails, which often leave off the “dear.”)

And now, finally, let me explain about Jerry’s podcast debut. On Tuesday, Jerry and Katie will be featured on LA Talk Radio hosted by Catherine Grace O’Connell who’s intrigued by their unique friendship.

In addition to being a talk show host, the multi-talented O’Connell is a journalist, and an inspirational “lifestyle Influencer” empowering women at midlife. She’s especially interested in bridging the age gap and how Jerry and Katie have so seamlessly done so. O’Connell is so dynamic herself, if she lived in Santa Monica (or was 96 ?) I might write a column solely about her.

So Tuesday, pals Jerry and Katie are traveling to the valley and the LA TalkRadio studio. In addition to discussing the duo’s charming friendship, Catherine was also very enthusiastic about Jerry’s singing. (Jerry sings at the drop of a hat, only you don’t even need the hat.)

For the interview, Jerry’s bringing his cassette player to provide music for a song he plans to perform. Given everything I know about the life and spirit of my nonagenarian friend, the tile of the tune couldn’t be more fitting...“Young at Heart.” (All I can say is, If Jerry gets more followers and ice cream, I’m definitely re-evaluating my social media strategy!)

For Jerry and Katie’s interview live, Google: “LATalkRadioWebsite.” To see Jerry’s “posts” go to Instagram@Jerry_Rosenblum. Catherine’s blog is at https://catherinegraceo.com/ and her Instagram is @catherinegraceo. Feeling the least interesting of the all the aforementioned, JACK can be reached at jackdailypress@aol.com.

Report: US high-tide flooding twice what it was 30 years ago

BY WAYNE PARRY Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — A new report finds that

high-tide flooding is happening across the United States at twice the rate it was just 30 years ago, and predicts records for such flooding will continue to be broken for decades as sea levels rise.

The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration said Wednesday that high-tide flooding, sometimes called sunny-day or “nuisance flooding,” tied or set records last year in more than a quarter of the 98 places the agency monitors around the country.

The report found Sabine Pass in Texas had 23 days of high-tide flooding last year, while Atlantic City, New Jersey and Boston had 22 each. Cities in other parts of the country experienced fewer tidal floods, but many of those cities still saw records set.

“Though year-to-year and regional variability exist, the underlying trend is quite clear: Due to sea level rise, the national average frequency of high tide flooding is double what it was 30 years ago,” the report said.

Ben Horton a Rutgers University researcher who was not involved in the study, called it “a warning, a shot across the bow.”

“Across the whole of the U.S. coastline, we are in dire need of action,” he said.

In addition to the conclusions of the report, Horton said it is just as significant

that “this is a federally funded sea-level assessment funded by the Trump Administration, and it shows that the problems on our coasts are getting worse and will get worse.”

The Republican president has derided climate change as a hoax.

As sea levels rise, coastal communities around the U.S. are experiencing flooding that closes roads or inconveniences daily activities on an increasing basis. Two of the three main entrances to Atlantic City, the east coast gambling resort, are often flooded by tides, with one or both lanes having to be shut down for hours at a time.

“What used to be uncommon is now becoming fairly common,” said William Sweet, a NOAA oceanographer and coauthor of the report.

He said global sea levels are rising at a rate of about 3 millimeters a year, or about an inch every eight years. Horton and other Rutgers researchers project that by 2050, seas off New Jersey will rise by an additional 1.4 feet (0.4 meters).

The report found tidal flooding was at record levels last year along parts of the southeast Atlantic and eastern Gulf coasts.

And San Diego experienced a record-breaking 13 days of high-tide flooding.

Anticipated weather conditions this year and next may result in even higher than expected flood frequencies along the east and west coasts.

received support from shoppers at local supermarkets, collecting donations and even offering to donate flags to Veterans Affairs this past Veteran’s Day. Stacy Kravetz, a parent of SMUFC player Jessie Goldberg, supported her son in getting “to the next level” in his soccer career development, a sport he’s been playing since he was 5.

She said the high quality coach, intensive training and higher level of play have kept her invested. While she says the team will find some way to get players to Utah, fundraising has helped teach her son and the team about ethics.

“The idea was to make travel possible for all of the players, especially those with less means,” she said. “Going out and fundraising, [the players] have some skin in the game. It’s nice to have the players take an

interest and own it. If they’re able to generate funding as opposed to asking, it gives them a sense of accomplishment.”

Randy Banchik, Ryan’s father, says money provided from fundraising will go to many things including flights, hotels, and food for the team’s eight day trip. While providing help and a profile for the city and the sport is a goal, Randy says helping those on the team is what’s most important.

“It’s rare for a local youth team to go to the next level, putting the city and kids out into a more national profile. Aside from that, the club is committed to socioeconomic diversity. It gives the kids that wouldn’t have this opportunity on their own a chance to travel and to play at this level, and get noticed by college coaches. I hope the community supports their effort to get where they want to be.”

One Voice Honors Judi Barker Non-Profit Pays Tribute to ‘Local Legend,’ Owner of Santa Monica Barker Hangar One Voice, the Santa Monica-based non-profit that provides family assistance and college access services to low-income families throughout Los Angeles County, presented its first Community Leadership Award to Judi Barker on June 6. Barker, whose family has owned its eponymous hangar at the Santa Monica airport since the 1960s, is being honored for her contributions to the Santa Monica community.

“Judi Barker is a passionate supporter of Santa Monica, its businesses and its people,” said Susan Silbert, executive director and founder of One Voice. “Through her charitable work, her wise stewardship of the hangar and her devotion to the arts, Judi has made countless contributions to the beautiful city we call home. And that is why One Voice is proud to present her with this award.”

Silbert noted that for more than thirty years, Barker has donated her hangar property to One Voice’s Holiday Program. For four days each December, more than 3,000 volunteers use the space to pack food baskets, toys and books for 2,500 families (12,500 people) living in poverty in the Los Angeles area.

“One Voice and I have always shared the same vision for a more just, healthy and prosperous community,” said Barker, who received the award at One Voice’s inaugural Spring Luncheon. “I’m honored that they’ve chosen me for this award and inspired to join them in improving lives across Southern California.”

Barker has worked at the Historic Santa Monica Air Center/Barker Hangar since her family acquired it in 1969. In the mid-1980s, Barker brought her passion for the arts to her business and made the hangar into one of Southern California’s premier venues for charity, corporate and private events, as well as video and film shoots.

The 35,000 square foot hangar has hosted hundreds of entertainment and cultural events, including the Critics’ Choice Awards, People’s Choice Awards, King’s Sports Boxing at Barker and the MTV Music Awards. It has also served as a rehearsal space for Michael Jackson, Snoop Dogg, U2, Styx and Duran Duran, among others.

But dearest to Barker’s heart are the non-profit organizations that have used the hangar to host fundraisers. In addition to One Voice, those groups include Autism Speaks, P.S. Arts, Planned Parenthood, City of Hope, The USC Center for Applied Molecular Medicine, The Clara Lionel Foundation, Macy’s Passport, T.J. Martell Foundation, Keep-a-Child Alive, Children Affected By Aids Foundation, Palloween and many, many more.

The mission of One Voice is to provide goods, services and opportunities to the underprivileged, including everything from crisis intervention to long-term programming that lifts families out of poverty, while providing avenues for the rest of the community to become involved in helping families in need.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 8)

By PETER GALLAGHER

Strange Brew

By JOHN DEERING

This solar return is characterized by your determined attitude. While it’s not possible to do every single thing you want to do, you’ll hit the big three on your list and throw a party each time one gets checked off. Model the behavior you’d like to see in your friends and kin, as they will be following you closer than ever. Aries and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 30, 33, 28 and 4.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

Close your eyes and breathe through the intense moments of the day. Without visual stimulus you’ll get internally focused. You can breathe out the stress and breathe in all that’s necessary for an optimum state of mind.

When people won’t listen to you, listen to them.

They’ll (indirectly and accidentally) tell you where their weaknesses are and what they’re missing. You’ll learn all you need to know to make your next move.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

We’re told over and over that life isn’t fair. We see with our own eyes that it’s not. And yet, the belief that life should be fair still permeates our thinking. Those who know this is an unjust life will be ever vigilant in working toward fairness.

You think you know what they’re trying to say, but you ask questions anyway. Conversely, you don’t expect others to readily understand your message, so you pose it a few different ways, making it bulletproof.

Agnes

By TONY COCHRAN

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Commercial purposes serve the client. Artistic purposes serve the muse. It will benefit your soul and your pocketbook to do a little of each type of service in the days to come.

The outcome you’re worried about is unlikely - that is, unless you keep up the worry, in which case your fixation will trick your mind into assuming you want that scenario, and it will do everything in its power to make it so.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Stick your neck out and seek opportunity, because even though it’s fallen in your lap before (and will again), the best options will arise from a concerted effort on your part.

There is only one person in your life you can truly change, and that’s you. Even that takes a considerable amount of effort. Remember this fact of life and save yourself some trouble.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

We’re all just trying to get along using what we have to work with. Perhaps it will help you to think of someone whom you once would have called “disabled” as, more aptly, “differently abled.”

More people getting involved doesn’t necessarily mean more productivity. The work will still only be done by the same people who were doing it before -- namely, you and your crew.

Seek efficient solutions for a tight team.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Metaphorically speaking, instead of short seats or tall seats, consider an adjustable seat.

It will cost more, but unlike short and tall seats, which are only totally correct in one scenario, adjustable seats will be continually useful.

In text, email and conversations that happen in real time, there are no take-backs. Be thoughtful. Plan it out. Consider where it could go wrong. Imagine multiple responses and refutes. Be ready. This one is important.

Lunar Call for Individuality From elongating their necks with gold rings to ruining their feet with impossible shoes, throughout the world and throughout time, people have peculiar ways of altering their bodies to declare their superior status. If you consider and reject one such popular status symbol today, you’ll be in line with Aries lunar call for individuality.
