Airport Advisor plans his departure KATE CAGLE Daily Press Staff Writer

After an eventful year, Santa Monica Airport will see yet another shakeup this month as Nelson Hernandez, Senior Advisor on Airport Affairs, heads into retirement and to Puerto Rico to be with his family. His successor will not hold the job for very long – as the City plans to dissolve the position next summer. Hernandez says he was already planning to move back to the island for retirement before Hurricane Maria left Puerto Rico devastated

and largely without power. Hernandez has been able to be in contact with some family members, who must drive the island’s treacherous roads for miles in order to get the cell service needed to call family in the United States. “I’ve reached out to FEMA to see if I can work for them,” Hernandez told the Daily Press. When asked if the on-going catastrophe in Puerto Rico has put the issues he handled in Santa Monica in perspective, Hernandez said “it’s

City moves forward with runway demo plans at SMO KATE CAGLE Daily Press Staff Writer

The City Council has urged Santa Monica’s top engineer to move forward with plans to demolish part of the runway at Santa Monica Airport and replace it with grass. The obliteration of nearly 1,500 feet of runway is an attempt to show aviation groups, homeowners in Sunset Park and voters that the Council is serious about curbing jet traffic over the City by the Sea. The first phase of construction to reconfigure the runway to a

shorter distance of 3,500 feet will begin Oct. 9, according to a letter that recently went out to nearby homeowners. While the project includes restriping, repairs and new lights, it does not include plans to demolish the 400 feet at both ends that will no longer be utilized. During their last meeting in September, Councilmembers reviewed three different replacement materials and their cost for the second project: hydro-seeding ($3.4 million), artificial turf ($5.7 million) and pulverization and stabilization ($2.7 million). All plans

include preserving 300 feet of asphalt for a Runway Safety Area (RSA) that will be well-graded and capable of supporting aircraft rescue and fire fighting equipment. The Council unanimously voted to support removing the abandoned pavement outside the RSA, backfilling and hydro-seeding the surface. The plan would likely include drainage improvements for collecting storm water and to control runoff. The entire runway would be closed during SEE SMO PAGE 7

As classes begin again after summer vacation, a few students from Santa Monica High School can include “learning about DNA mapping of plankton diets” in their back-toschool essays. Last April, five students from Santa Monica – Amy Amatya, Nanki Chugh, Rhys Gaida, Ryu Akiba, and Josh Sheng – won the National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB). The nationwide competition, which is an interdisciplinary ocean science education program of the Consortium for Ocean Leadership, engages over 1,900 students from more than 270 schools in 33 states. This summer, the students, along with their, coach, Mr. Ingo Gaida, took their award trip to coastal Georgia and South Carolina. The team (minus Josh Sheng, who wasn’t able to attend) began their adventure in Savannah, Georgia, where they spent time beach combing and invertebrate sampling on Wassaw Island with Savannah State University. They studied the salt marsh ecosystem with University of Georgia Marine Education Center and Aquarium and toured the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography’s R/V Savannah and labs, meeting with researchers to learn about current global and regional marine science research (including DNA mapping of plankton diets). The team explored local maritime history at the Port Royal Sound Foundation Maritime Center and experienced a behind-the-scenes tour at the South Carolina Aquarium where they learned about the aquarium’s sea turtle rehabilitation program. A visit to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s Hollings Marine Laboratory, a collaborative research facility, provided opportunities to meet researchers from NOAA, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and to learn about current research in aquaculture, natural products chemistry, and coral health. At the College of Charleston’s Grice Marine Lab, students toured labs and learned about opportunities for student research before ending their trip with a boat tour to Fort Sumter. Preparation is already underway for the 2018 NOSB competition, with the 23 regional bowls taking place in February and the finals competition (consisting of regional winners) in April. The reigning champs will be looking to fill a few new slots since two team members, Amy Amatya and Rhys Gaida, have graduated. The 2018 finals theme is Oceans Shaping Weather, which will encourage increased understanding of topics such as the relationship between weather and ocean conditions and currents, technologies to predict global climate patterns, and challenges in mitigating the impact of severe weather events.

L.A. rethinks its roads Editor:

As L.A. rethinks its roads what about having elevated, covered bicycle expressways high above the median strips on freeways? There could be at least two lanes in each direction; one lane would be for electric bikes. The freeway overpasses would be the entrance and exit points. The cover for the bike expressway would be lined with solar panels which would charge battery banks. The stored electricity would be available to charge the electric bikes or rescue stranded electric cars on the freeways below. The bike expressways could even be enclosed and climate controlled – heated or cooled by electricity gathered by the solar panels The construction would be epoxy coated steel and supported by steel columns. The bike roadway could be wood planks. There would be no concrete or asphalt. The steel sections would be prefabricated and go up quickly and easily. The bicycle expressway, if it became popular around the country could save billions in new freeway construction and decrease both our dependence on oil and waistlines of the general public. There would be a requirement that only American steel and labor would be used in the construction. Bicyclists could pay a toll charge and electric bike users could recharge with coin operated outlets along the bike expressway. Everyday there are probably a hundred miles of gridlocked L.A. and surrounding freeways where the proposed swarm of bicyclists would leave drivers in its wake. Frustrated drivers would be easily recruited. The idea could be expanded to city thoroughfares. Bicycle transportation would snowball. General health, the environment and the sense of community would benefit. The world would become a better place.

New Roads School student club stages walkout to support DACA and the Dreamers In response to the Trump administration’s recent announcement that it will rescind the executive order that established Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), students at Santa Monica’s New Roads School organized a walkout on Wednesday, September 27 in support of the Dreamers and DACA. At 2:30 p.m., over 200 high school students respectfully and peacefully left their classrooms to march along Santa Monica’s Olympic Boulevard, chanting in unison messages of empowerment and support for the Dreamers. The walkout was planned by Latinos Unidos student club, whose mission is to provide an inclusive forum for New Roads students to create awareness about global and local issues, celebrate the rich culture of Latin and Central America, and to empower students to voice their opinions. One Latinos Unidos club member, 12th grader Valeria Garcia, says, “Our Walkout for DACA was a great mechanism to unify the community here at New Roads. We are here to support the Dreamers and want to join the fight towards justice for DACA recipients and their families. The Dreamers should not live in fear. No one should live in fear.” Head of School Luthern Williams says, “I am incredibly proud of our students for organizing this walkout and taking action to show public support for the Dreamers. New Roads always has known that sustaining a learning community of students and adults that mirrors the rich diversity of Los Angeles – one that is socially, economically, ethnically and racially diverse – is not only a moral but academic imperative, the path to a prosperous, innovative, and just America and global community. We stand firmly and wholeheartedly with dreamers.” — SUBMITTED BY DAWN FAIRCHILD, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS, NEW ROADS SCHOOL

Santa Monica Family YMCA First And Only To Offer Core De Force Live Classes Kickboxing, MMA and boxing workouts have become a mainstay in the fitness world and the Santa Monica Family YMCA is now meeting this demand with the only CORE DE FORCE Live classes in the area. CORE DE FORCE Live is much more than a typical cardio class. Created by Beachbody Super Trainers Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews, this workout combines authentic Boxing, Kickboxing and Muay Thai moves with explosive power moves and interval training. “The name CORE DE FORCE was developed by Joel and Jericho because the focus of the class is core-rotation with every punch and kick combination,” explains Mary Kay Campbell, Healthy Living Director at the Santa Monica YMCA. “Our members have found these workouts challenging, empowering and, most importantly, fun.” Campbell is a certified CORE DE FORCE instructor and teaches the class two days a week. The classes started August 21st and YMCA members from ages 17-70 have been punching and kicking their way to a fitter body. “I have members in my class who had never taken a kickboxing or MMA class and were hesitant to even try the class. Now, those same members are there for every class” Campbell says. CORE DE FORCE is the newest live class offerings from Beachbody, the Santa Monicabased company that created programs such as P90X and Insanity. The Santa Monica YMCA is thrilled to be the first to offer these courses in the city. “I started with the home workouts last November, loved the workouts and saw great results. As soon as they announced instructor trainings to teach the live courses, I knew we had to bring this workout to the Y” says Campbell. Currently, CORE DE FORCE Live is offered on Monday and Friday mornings from 6:307:30am. Starting in October, the class will also be offered on Thursday evenings from 5:30-6:15pm. The class is part of the Adult Group Exercise program that is free with Santa Monica YMCA membership. Non-YMCA members can receive a one-day class pass to try the class by contacting Mary Kay Campbell at wellness@ymcasm.org.

Lowenthal has been at the BBB since 2012 and brings over 20 years of experience in government affairs to the position, according to a press release from the City. “Santa Monica Airport is in transition,” City Manager Rick Cole said in a statement. “Among our key staff leaders, Suja has the breadth of experience and knowledge to continue the stakeholder engagement and thoughtful strategy required to implement the Consent Decree to reduce health and safety risks and work toward the evolution of SMO to a great park in 2028.” Lowenthal’s salary in the new position is $162,036 per year. She has a BA in Economics from UCLA, a Masters in Business Administration from Cal State LA and a Policy, Planning and Development Doctorate from USC. “I am honored to have the opportunity

to serve the community in this new role,” Lowenthal said. “While we have made significant strides at the airport in the past two years, I look forward to continued engagement with the community to address concerns related to airport operations, implementation of Council policy, and to establish a vision for airport land after it closes in 2028.” There are few issues in the City of Santa Monica that inspire as much ire as SMO. Nearby residents have been fiercely advocating its closure for years – citing fears over the health effects of jets flying over their houses. Aviation groups have fought just as hard to keep it open, arguing its economic importance. Pilot groups argue its closure will create a burden on other nearby airports that will see an inevitable increase in traffic. A closed-door agreement in January between the City and the FAA to immediately shorten the runway and eventually give Santa Monica officials control over the airport at the end of 2028 has done little to cool emotions on either side. The Consent Decree resolved pending court cases that both pilots and Sunset Park residents believe their side could have won. In his position, Hernandez fielded questions – and angry emails – from both sides of the issue over the last two years. “Some people thought I did a good job, others didn’t,” Hernandez said. He said he enjoyed the work over all. Now he heads to his next venture with a new purpose – helping Puerto Rico get off the ground. kate@smdp.com

CRIME WATCH B Y

D A I L Y

P R E S S

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 SEPTEMBER 19, AT ABOUT 6:23 P.M. Officers were flagged down by a victim of a battery in the area of 3rd Street and Broadway. The victim pointed out the suspect as he attempted to walk away through the Santa Monica Place. The suspect was detained for an investigation in the 1500 block of 2nd Street. Officers learned that the victim was walking in the area of 3rd Street and Broadway. The suspect walked up to him and began conversing with the victim. The suspect unprovoked then spat on the victim striking the left side of his face and began yelling obscenities. The suspect then walked away. The victim was able to identify the suspect and was desirous of prosecution. The suspect was taken into custody. Garret Roy Miller, 30, homeless, was arrested for battery. Bail was set at $ 20,000.

construction. City staff will now issue a Request for Proposal to select an engineering design consultant. City Manager Rick Cole told the Council staff could still go forward with a different option. Engineering firm AECOM has recommended the city keep the paved runway surface to provide blast erosion protection from incoming and outgoing jets. The pavement would also minimize the threat of debris on the runway and provide additional protection for pilots who undershoot or overrun into the RSA. “Because this is new – there aren’t many airports that demolish and shorten their runways – we want to make sure we have the maximum opportunity to safeguard everyone who lives in the surrounding neighborhoods, as well as anyone coming in or going out of Santa Monica Airport,” Cole said. Hydro-seeding has been used at the San Bernardino International Airport. Councilmember Kevin McKeown said grass is consistent with the Council’s vision for a large park on the site once the City can close SMO in 2029. A staff report written by Susan Cline, the Director of Public Works, said the hydroseeding option would have fewer up-front costs, “but potentially more on-going main-

tenance requirements. Scheduled maintenance of the hydro-seeded area would be required on an annual basis, supplemented by monthly or quarterly maintenance to control weeds and other vegetation. An irrigation system is not included in the estimate for this scenario.” Cline says the removal of the asphalt will be exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements because it is a “minor alteration of existing public or private facilities.” Numerous members of the Friends of Sunset Park neighborhood association wrote the Council requesting an air quality study before, during and after construction to take advantage of the time no aircraft will be allowed to take off from SMO. “This one-time event offers the City a unique opportunity to document the impact that the federally mandated operation of the airport is having on local residents and the air quality of the surrounding neighborhoods,” reads the letter from the group’s Board of Directors. The Council did not comment on their request during the meeting. There are no funds set aside or available in the City’s Capital Improvement Program for the runway removal, so the City would need to loan money from the General Fund to remove the excess pavement.

Entertainment and Family Fun at Westside Food Bank’s Hunger Walk BY MICHAEL GIRSBACK Development Associate, Westside Food Bank

There’s so much more than just walking happening this year at Westside Food Bank’s 27th Annual 5K Hunger Walk. Some participants actually consider the Family Fun Zone and performances the highlight of the day. There will be a host of activities for children of all ages including games like corn hole, ladder golf, ring toss, sack races, beach paddle ball, hula hoops and more. We’ll have henna body art as well as simple stick-on tattoos. There will be a table for creating your own artwork, plus nutrition information and lots of chances to win fun prizes. Local favorites, The Pretenders Studio, will once again be “dancing for a difference,” and inspiring our walkers with several engaging routines. These young dancers are committed to social responsibility and community service and have collectively raised

over $100,000 for local nonprofit organizations and donated thousands of hours volunteering, performing and fundraising. www.thepretendersstudio.com New to the lineup this year is Trinity Rose, award winning singer, songwriter & musician. At 14, Trinity Rose was recently selected as the youngest female contestant ever on NBC’s The Voice, and has performed at the LA Marathon for over 25,000 people and the USATF Olympic Marathon Trials. She’s donated her talent to a number of causes, and as a student from Pacific Palisades, she’s participated in volunteer food sorts at Westside Food Bank. www.trinityroseofficial.com While the 5K walk is the main event to raise funds and awareness about local hunger, we hope you will join us at noon to enjoy stellar performances and fun filled activities.

Strange Brew

By JOHN DEERING

You’ll finally hear the words you longed to — beautiful music! Before the end of the year, you’ll heed a calling. You’ve the courage to ask the hard questions in January. Answers will guide a new pursuit. You’ll become increasingly self-sufficient through 2018. You’ll be part of a new team in March. Aquarius and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 50, 2, 12 and 45.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

The logical assumption is that someone has to be driving the relationship, though right now the relationship is like a self-driving vehicle. You’re both able to take care of your own business, and it’s actually staying on the road.

It may be the case now that the very best way to say something is to do something. Action speaks louder while eliminating the need for speaking altogether.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The win-win solution isn’t always possible. In that case, you’d rather opt out of the whole deal than see another person lose to you. It’s not the competitive spirit so many around you have, but it will work best for you now.

“Leap and the net will appear,” said essayist John Burroughs. Many acrobats and tightrope artists in training are alive because they didn’t expect such magic. Observe the difference between optimism and foolishness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) GEMINI (May 21-June 21) The world is constantly telling you what to want. You may not really want most of the stuff the world is trying to sell you, yet it’s hard to hear what your real desire is through all of the pretty noise.

You can feel when you’re clicking with someone and when you’re not. This kind of chemistry is a thing you can’t predict or control; you just have to get in there and meet different people to know.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) CANCER (June 22-July 22) First it seemed impossible; then merely daunting. Now that it’s done, you know it’s doable — not easy and perhaps not anything you’d want to go through again but doable — which is good to know.

Some people lower their energy level to avoid participating fully in life. Beware of those who use tiredness as a defense. Avoid those who wear exhaustion like an armor.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have the sneaking suspicion that the task at hand is not something you’ll be good at right off the bat or maybe ever. But what if it’s something you’ll eventually be great at? You won’t know if you don’t start.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You want what someone else has, and it’s something you can have, too. There’s room for many to be successful in this realm, and the world will be better for the successful multitudes.

Dogs of C-Kennel

By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART

It’s true that a bold choice will open unforeseen opportunity down the road. So will any choice, actually. In today’s case, consequences will happen more quickly than usual.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) There are some who test the limits to know where they are. In polite society, alarm bells won’t sound when the boundaries have been crossed. Reactions are more nuanced. This is tricky stuff. Is it really worth the risk?

Zack Hill Empathy Moon Observations come at a cost; it’s why movie tickets, art exhibits, sporting events and theme parks ask for money upon entrance. But it’s not just special events; everyday life is costly to see, too. Seeing comes with a responsibility to act on what you observe. The moon in Pisces lends greater powers of empathy to assist in the matter.
