California gas tax rises 12 cents to pay for road repairs BY JONATHAN J. COOPER Associated Press
California gas prices are about to go up. Gasoline taxes will rise by 12 cents per gallon Wednesday — and diesel taxes by even more — to raise money for fixing roads and highways. It’s the first of several tax and fee hikes that will take effect after Democratic lawmakers approved them earlier this year, a vote that Republicans see as a key issue in the 2018 election. The price increase for gasoline will be mitigated because it coincides with the annual shift to a winter blend of gasoline, which generally reduces prices by about 6 cents per gallon, said Marie Montgomery, a spokeswoman for AAA of Southern California. It’s tough to predict how much prices will rise overnight, Montgomery said, but past gas tax increases have generally led to gradual price increases. “We don’t know. We’ve seen gas prices increase in the last week, so they could be already building that increase in,” Montgomery said. “Or we may see a sizeable hike on Wednesday.” Diesel taxes will go up by 20 cents a gallon and diesel sales taxes will rise by 4 points to 13 percent. Californians will also have to pay a fee of $25 to $175, depending on the value of their vehicle, when they renew their registration next year. Zero-emission vehicle owners will pay $100 per year starting in 2020 since they don’t pay gas taxes. The gas tax increase passed with support from nearly all legislative Democrats and one Republican, capping a yearslong effort by Gov. Jerry Brown to line up support for a dedicated source of road maintenance dollars. The measure has emboldened Republicans, who have watched their influence diminish as California tilts increasingly to the left. They see higher gas taxes as a winning election issue that could motivate their
base and win over voters frustrated with California’s high cost of living. Republicans put the gas tax at the center of a campaign to recall Sen. John Newman, a Fullerton Democrat who narrowly won his seat last year. Republican candidates for governor and for Congress are backing competing initiatives to repeal the gas tax, one of which would also require voter approval for any future increases. Californians already pay some of the highest gas prices in the country. On Tuesday, California’s statewide average of $3.04 per gallon was about 57 cents higher than the national average and the highest in the continental U.S., according to AAA. Assemblyman Travis Allen, a Huntington Beach Republican who has made opposition to the gas tax a centerpiece of his campaign for governor, said the money won’t widen or extend freeways to relieve traffic. “Californians will still be stuck in the worst-in-the-nation traffic. We’ll just be paying a lot more for it,” Allen said. The taxes are projected to raise about $5 billion a year to be split between state and local governments. Much of it will pay for fixing potholes and rebuilding crumbling roads and bridges. Some will also pay for public transportation, biking and walking trails, and other projects. Wednesday’s increase will put the state gasoline tax at 41.7 cents on top of the unchanged federal gas tax of 18.3 cents. The price of gasoline is driven much more by global supply and demand affecting oil prices than by taxes, said Roger Dickinson, executive director of Transportation California, an advocacy group funded by construction companies and trade unions that lobbied for the tax increases. “When it’s a price change because of the cost of a barrel of oil, it’s the oil companies or producers that get all the benefits,” Dickinson said. “In this case, the people are going to get a great benefit.”

ing meat. She grows a community garden offset any emissions from her day-to-day life and composts to keep carbon in the ground. “In every facet of my life, I’m trying to sensitize myself to how I can do it with less carbon use,” said the Climate Action Santa Monica co-chair and community educator. While one person may not be able to reverse climate change, Gutierrez’s growing summer internship program, Climate Corps, is giving her an opportunity to preach among the converted. For the second summer in a row, about a dozen paid interns spread the gospel of carbon neutrality at the Pier, farmer’s markets and other city events. “It was a way to help the young people show people in the community we are paying attention ... and here is what you can do about this crisis we all face,” Gutierrez said. The United Nations issued a new Emissions Gap report Monday, warning that even with full implementation of the Paris Agreement, global temperatures are still on track to rise by 3 degrees Celsius by 2100. The report urges the private sector, cities and private citizens to urgently pursue actions that will bring deeper and more-rapid cuts to carbon emissions. “Should the United States follow through with its stated intention to leave the Paris Agreement in 2020, the picture could become even bleaker,” states the report. Next week, global climate change leaders including Gov. Jerry Brown will meet in Germany for the U.N. Climate Change Conference. The Climate Corps started as a pilot in 2016 to help spread the word about the Expo Line and how public transportation can reduce carbon emissions from cars. Over the first summer the thirteen interns handed out about 1,000 TAP cards to encourage new ridership. A year later, Gutierrez received triple the amount of applications to join the group in 2017. Participants can earn a $1,000 stipend if they meet certain internship obligations. The Corps takes high school and college students but received applications from a
wide age range. Gutierrez joked they would soon be making “future Climate Corps” onesies for infants. Part of the surge in applications came in response to the current national political climate. “Every single one of the applicants said they want to be a part of this because it’s getting so urgent – because the climate is heating up and people don’t get it,” Gutierrez said. For three of the interns, the summer culminated in a trip to Pittsburgh to attend Al Gore’s Climate Reality Leaders Corps to learn from the former Vice President and top scientists about Climate Change. Those students are now trained in giving Gore’s famous slideshow. The Corps is part of a city-wide effort to set the standard for how a community can make a meaningful impact on the planet. Later this year, the City plans to release an ambitious Climate Action and Adaptation Plan. The City is committed to water selfsufficiency by 2020, zero waste by 2030, and carbon neutrality by 2050. The interns focused on projects that interested them and engaged the community through about 1,2000 conversations over the course of a few months. The one-on-one talks about Climate Change ranged from five to thirty minutes, when the Corps aimed to educate residents and tourists on the steps they can take to reduce their personal carbon footprint. “We wanted to focus on the education of the Climate Corps members themselves,” Environmentalist Zachary Gaidzik said during a recent presentation to the City Council. “We wanted to give them an opportunity to delve deeper into a special project…facts need to matter again.” About 700 people (half of them locals) filled out Climate Corps surveys, with nearly half of those respondents promised to make a personal shift such as riding their bike more often to fight Climate Change. The program left the leadership feeling optimistic about the future. “The real Paris Agreement is between all of us and the planet,” Gutierrez said. “It’s about understanding your own individual actions.” kate@smdp.com

WHAT ABOUT SAMOHI?
Santa Monica High School is five years older than UNM. Its list of famous grads would almost equal that of the whole state of NM. Are its buildings historic, beloved, famous? My daughter was horrified to learn of the 35-year plan to remake Samohi by tearing down nearly every building now there. “What?! Every time I watch ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ I smile — that’s MY high school! They can’t do that!” Well, it’s already moving forward, with a total campus remake that will leave only Barnum Hall, the Greek Theater, and the new Innovation Building standing. Everything else will be… history. But history for the books, not for the living. How many tens of thousands of students have spent an important part of their lives in those buildings? Do we really want to make Samohi unrecognizable? Come on, every place except the USA values its history and restores and renovates buildings that matter. But there’s more money to be made in tearing down and building new. This is an initial study, the SMHS Campus Plan Project, and though most of these things are decided behind closed doors long before the public gets to see the plans and “comment” on them, the school district is soliciting public response, by Nov. 27. Once our history is torn down, it’s gone forever. Or what? I know the school desperately needs to be modernized, but Rome, London and Paris seem to be doing just fine in the 21st century in their adapted ancient buildings. Study the plans, online now, and send your thoughts by email to the school district, or to Carey Upton, Chief Operations Officer, cupton@smmusd.org, (310) 399-5865 x79383.

Pueblo tongue), you’ll get a translator. Another lore we grew up with in Albuquerque was our doomsday scenario: everyone knew there were incredible piles of atomic bombs stored at a secret Air Force facility in the Manzano Mountains at the edge of town (true: largest stockpile in the world), and a direct hit would obliterate most of a four-state area. It actually seemed kinda cool that we were such a target for the cold war Ruskies. Yeah, they’d go for Albuquerque first. (Take that, LA and New York.) But back to UNM and those gorgeous adobe-style buildings. UNM is pretty old. 1889. Its first building (and only building for 10 years), Hodgin Hall, stuck up like a thumb on the flat landscape of dusty old Albuquerque. Built Richardsonian Romanesque style in 1892, it was reborn in 1908 in it present adobe style, and everyone liked it so much it spread across the campus. But those are slowly disappearing now, I noticed on my last trip back in September, being demolished and replaced with shiny glass and steel ones. ¡Que lastima! Don’t you know when you’ve got a good thing? In a land considered ancient in the US, where is the respect for history and tradition, especially when it’s so distinctive and aesthetically pleasing? Must you look like everywhere else?
(BUT WE MAKE IT EASY!!!)

Would describe the look of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, which finally, if reluctantly, granted me a degree, after a nearly decade-long on-again off-again undergrad career. (Hard to put off getting drafted into the Army during Viet Nam, or the opportunity — tiny windfall — to travel Europe for a year in a VW camper. Being married and a father at 22 was a bit of a distraction too.) “Offering a distinctive campus environment with a Pueblo Revival architectural theme, the campus buildings echo nearby Pueblo Indian villages,” is the way they officially describe it. We who come from New Mexico are usually dang proud of our tri-cultural heritage. First and foremost, we love our unique cuisine: sopapillas (with honey, of course), posole, pinons, blue corn enchiladas, biscochitos, and anything made with our famous homegrown green and red chiles (NOT “chili” — that’s Texas, son, a place and state of mind New Mexicans are mostly none too fond of) — carne adovada, chile rellenos, cornbread, green chile stew, huevos rancheros with “Christmas” (when you can’t decide between red and green on any dish, you order both and “Christmas” solves the problem deliciously). We revel in the amazing, goes-on-forever sky and the most spectacular sunsets you can find anywhere on earth. We love our lobos and coyotes, the mythical thunderbird and the strange but real roadrunner, our state bird (that would rather run than fly — that’s okay, pequena, we embrace the peculiar in the Land of Enchantment).

The engineer remembers when she first applied to work at the small start-up tackling one of the biggest leaps in drone technology – combining the vertical take-off of a helicopter with the energy efficiency of an airplane. “If this works, this is really going to change the industry,” Jordan remembers thinking. In August, Jordan and her colleagues at Santa Monica-based FlightWave Aerospace Systems, Inc unveiled the Edge, a tri-copter, fixed-wing drone that can take off straight up into the sky and then fly like an airplane through the air. The technology has promising applications for a variety of industries – a video on the company’s website shows the drone delicately landing on a small square on a rocking boat at sea. While many consumers are familiar with quad-copters, the batterysucking blades often restrict flying time to just a dozen minutes. “What happens when you fly fixed-wing, it takes less energy, less power to fly the drone so it can go long distances,” Jordan said, explaining the edge still has ability to hover. The Edge can fly for up to two hours, allowing the operator to track wales, map crops, or soar to the scene of a traffic accident before returning to base Jordan brought her experience as a pilot (she did her Checkride at Santa Monica
Airport) and as an engineer at NASA Ames working on the QSRA, a failed experiment in short-runway takeoff aircraft. The aircraft was discontinued because it was so expensive. “I like to work on game changing technology,” Jordan said, who grew up in Columbia dreaming of becoming an astronaut. For her fifteenth birthday her family sent her to Space Camp in Alabama, where the teen soaked up the experience while barely speaking a word of English. She moved to California for the last two years of high school in the hopes of joining the Airforce or Navy. They wouldn’t take her because of her Columbian nationality. Instead, Jordan focused on pursuing multiple engineering degrees and getting her pilot license on her own. She’s worked in experimental aviation ever since, and sees drones playing an integral part in the future economy. Jordan recently became an American citizen. The company was founded by two Stanford grads, Michael Colonno and Trent Lukaczyk in 2014. Colonno said the two went back and forth over where to establish their business, but eventually settled on Santa Monica because its proximity to aerospace infrastructure companies along the coast. “It’s actually a great place to be an aerospace company,” said Colonno who worked at Space-X in Manhattan Beach before starting his own company. “It’s just very, very expensive. It’s also very, very easy to convince people to move here.” kate@smdp.com

COMMUNITY BRIEFS LOS ANGELES
Pacific storm to bring rain, snow to California A winter-like Pacific storm is expected to bring widespread rain and mountain snow to California by the end of the week, and a second cold front could bring even more after a short break. The National Weather Service says the storm will enter the north coast on Thursday and spread southward, including over this month’s wildfire burn scars. Forecasters predict 12 inches (305 millimeters) to 18 inches (457 millimeters) of snow along the northern crest of the Sierra Nevada, with 2 feet (a half-meter) or more on the highest peaks. The Central Valley can expect up to 2 inches (50 millimeters) of rain, with up to double that in the foothills. Southern California may get showers Friday, then light to moderate rain Saturday and Sunday, possibly lingering into Monday. — ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES
Ex-tenant suspected in LA gas leak that prompted evacuations Los Angeles police are searching for a person suspected of tampering with a gas line in a Venice neighborhood, causing a gas leak that triggered the evacuation of about 50 homes. Investigators say the suspect was a former tenant of the building where the leak started Monday. Hazardous-materials crews and utility workers responded after residents reported smelling gas. Fire officials called for precautionary evacuations and later said no one was injured. The Los Angeles Times says it took crews about four hours to stop the leak. It’s not clear what motivated the suspect. — ASSOCIATED PRESS

High, Kids ■ Elevated blood pressure levels aren’t just for adults anymore. The American Academy of Pediatrics reports the ailment is increasing in children. It’s estimated that 3.5 percent of kids in the U.S. have hypertension, or chronic high blood pressure. The rise is worrying enough that a new set of screening and treatment guidelines are being released to pediatricians, which include an annual blood pressure test for every kid.

Commander Bresnik prepare for space to what space smelled like, which there was a debate over: Bresnik says cream of mushroom soup while Acaba believes it smells more metallic. The astronauts even gave a few demonstrations. One question about fidget spinners led to one spinning in the air around Bresnik and Acaba. Another student, 8th grader Riley Rosenthal, asked about what experiments they were conducting. Acabe produced a picture on a floating iPad which displayed a head of lettuce that they had grown. The two astronauts happily entertained the students while giving them words of encouragement about what they can achieve through learning. Santa Monica College students Jesse Torres, an Aerospace Engineering major, and Nicholas Rodriguez, a Physics major who serves in the Marine Corps Reserves, were selected to present a question to the astro-
nauts. Both students are part of the STEM Program at SMC which is a student support program for those interested in careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math. The students are also graduates of SMHS which is why they were chosen to question their fellow alumni, Bresnik. Torres asked, “What was the most difficult task you’ve been faced with and how did you go about dealing with it?” Bresnik answered that his most difficult challenge was training for this flight and learning to use the Russian equipment. He studied Russian at SMC and that training is what helped him on his current mission. Torres and Rodriguez were joined at the event by SMC President Dr. Kathryn Jeffry. After the selected students were finished asking their questions, the broadcast ended with the astronauts wishing their guests a safe and successful year. Bresnik left his alma mater with a more personal message: “Go Vikings!”. The students cheered while the men floated off screen and back into space.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 1)
By PETER GALLAGHER
By JOHN DEERING
Your birthday will turn on a light in a far-reaching corner of your mind. If you’ve been fulfilling someone else’s dreams instead of your own, that stops this year. In January, keep studying or trying until you get your breakthrough. You will become a fan, friend, teacher or lover to an exceptionally talented person in 2018. Leo and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 17, 4, 21, 19 and 42.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Notice who takes your feelings into consideration. Notice who has your back. Notice who shows up, who offers first, who laughs at your jokes. You deserve a supportive team.
It’s a day of many tones and feelings. You’ll pass through numerous states of mind — twice as many as you usually would in the course of a day. It’s a kind of workout for your feelings. You’ll gain strength and balance.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The fever of a retail crush, flirtation, love affair or seductive business deal is not a good state of mind for decision-making. The wanting makes you think irrationally. Cool down first. Come back to it tomorrow.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) A good story is a family heirloom. A good storyteller is the custodian of that treasure. Your heart and mind are open. You’ll understand where the story is in the seemingly everyday events of you and yours.
Agnes
By TONY COCHRAN
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) If you’re hesitant about sharing things about yourself because you think it might be too boring or you might be opening yourself to judgment, it’s a sign that you could use some more relatable friends in your life.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) There’s too much at stake to leave an interaction to chance. Decide before going in what impression and message you want to relay. Get clear about what’s in it for you and what you’re willing to give in return.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) Family will require more tending than usual. It’s a good thing, because they need you and you need to give, so all will feel better for it. Warmth is your specialty.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Of course, memory never tells the whole story. When looking back, people get fuzzy on the details of interacting with one another. What they tend to remember is how you made them feel.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It’s impossible to be permanently excited. Excitement is the top of of an arc of energy. Without the low of boredom or normalcy, there would be no high of excitement. You’ll ride out an uneventful period. A higher energetic state is coming.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) As for those who monopolize the conversation, steamroll you when you’re trying to express yourself and don’t ask for your thoughts and ideas on the matter — well, it’s more than selfishness. It’s a warning sign.
Dogs of C-Kennel
By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’re not in the most sensible mood, but there are some things that are better accomplished from an irrational state. If you’re applying yourself to the right endeavor, it will all work out perfectly.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Don’t get too disillusioned. When the beautiful picture starts to crack as falsities are revealed, think of it as another phase. Keep looking. Get in closer until it’s lovely again.
The Saints Go Marching in Aries Move with the music of souls on this All Saints Day. The moon slips into the warrior realm of Aries with all of the celebratory feeling of the gospel hymn “When the Saints Go Marching In.” The configuration should help us remember the joyful aspects of the lives of our loved ones who have passed to the other side.
