Candidates must take responsibility for ‘sign pollution’Re: “The money behind the mailers,” news, May 22After reading the article, it appears that
the candidates have no direct control of independent expenditures involving their political races that produce all the junk political mailers that flood our mailboxes and load down letter carriers’ sacks — mailers that are looked at once and thrown into the recycling bin (hopefully not the trash).My main concern is all the signs that
are placed on every street corner, taped to traffic poles and parking signs and hung on fences. Who is responsible for removing these signs? If they are not removed are there any enforceable penalties? these signs fall over or get
blown or torn down and become litter in our streets. there is no accountability. These signs should be removed and cleaned up immediately after the election by the committees that authorized their placement. the committees should not be allowed to operate in the city without first paying a
$3,000 to $5,000 cleanup deposit. the deposit would offset cleanup costs.the candidates can wash their hands and
claim they are not responsible for these signs, but they are the ones that receive a benefit from these mailers and signs. That should make them accountable. Someone needs to ask any of the candidates what plan they have in place to clean up the litter caused by their outside supporters. The answer will be none. And so our communities are stuck cleaning and picking up this trash months after the elections are over.

Pepy’s Galley eviction is bad for businessRe: “Closing Time: Neighbors unite in support of Pepy’s Galley …” feature, May 29Loved your story about the possible
closing of Pepy’s Galley. Really a sad day for the neighborhood. When my most wealthy clients are in town they insist I take them to Pepy’s for their rib eye steak dinner.I’ve lived and worked in the area for
most of my 64 years. While I am currently a yacht broker based in Marina del Rey, in the past I built and owned a chain of restaurants (franchises of Popeyes fried chicken in Los Angeles). only one of my stores made money, but that store
supported the other three stores. that is the real world of business: not every location can or will be profitable. One non-performing location out of hundreds is a non-issue.the new owners of AMC knew what
they were buying and should have made allowances for keeping Pepy’s in business. To hell with overall profits! With 270 properties purchased — too bad.I hope the new owners realize that in the
age of Twitter, Facebook, Yelp, YouTube and other social media that they could very well have to endure a fantastic amount of pressure that could easily affect their entire operations if they do not back

No love for middle-class in the marinaRe: “Knabe wants to put Marina del Rey on the Silicon Beach map,” news, May 15Oh Supervisor Knabe, why don’t you
like us? Why don’t you want us here in the marina anymore? Why are you pushing us out? I’m not referring to the herons or egrets,
the wetlands or even the small boats — we know how you feel about them. I am speaking about us middle-class (or what’s left of us) Marina del Rey residents. We’ve made our homes here for years, some of us decades. We raised or are raising our families here, despite the fact that no schools or community services exist here. We’ve lived through the construction of new super-luxury apartments and navigated the daily changing road construction conditions. We’ve dealt with more blackouts and sirens going by than my 25-plus years growing up in New York City. And our rent ain’t cheap.And now you want us out — to be
replaced by shiny new techies with their
dogs, compact cars and wads of cash. this reminds me of an old business associate who tore down his five-star luxury apartment suites to build a six-star. And then the economy crashed and he bit the dust.Supervisor Knabe, you may recall that
just six years ago the vacancy rate in the marina was over 25%. Free rent was handed out like bubblegum, and the county lost a lot of money. now you want the marina to be filled with corporate contracts and gazillionaires, and the long- time residents here will slowly disappear. And when that next bubble bursts …

In the dark about need for outagesIt’s become like clockwork. Every
month we receive a friendly greeting from southern California edison advising us of yet another daylong planned power outage in Marina del Rey.This is becoming chronic. The only
explanation we get is on the notification that reads: “Planned power outages give us the opportunity to complete ongoing maintenance or upgrade the grid with newer materials and technologies. It's part of our long-term plan to help revitalize the Southern California power grid … .” Excuse me, but what exactly does that
mean in english? Long-term? How long do we have to put up with these
inconveniences? How much maintenance and upgrading do we need? this is irritating and frustrating to those of us who work from home, and there are a lot of us.Do they understand what it's like to get
dressed in the dark and not have lights, tV, Internet service, laundry, refrigerated food, clocks, music, or telephone landlines all day long?Compound that with those of us who
have to suffer through frequent Internet outages and water shutoffs, and it becomes a ridiculous situation.When is this monthly nonsense going to
stop? It feels like Marina del Rey is under siege lately and we're fed up!

EPA should weigh in on meatI am delighted that the U.s.
environmental Protection Agency has finally moved to abate the disastrous impacts of climate change by regulating carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. But, given the adverse reaction from the coal industry, the agency should
have issued parallel regulations on emissions from meat industry operations. each state could than determine its own optimal strategy for curbing greenhouse gases.A 2006 U.n. report estimated that meat
production accounts for 18% of man-made greenhouse gases. The meat industry generates carbon
dioxide by burning forests to create animal pastures and by combustion of fossil fuels to confine, feed, transport and slaughter animals. the much more damaging methane and nitrous oxide are discharged from digestive tracts of cattle and from animal waste cesspools, respectively.In the meantime, each of us can reduce
the devastating effects of climate change every time we eat. our local supermarkets offer a rich variety of plant-based lunch meats, hotdogs, veggie burgers and dairy product alternatives as well as an ample selection of vegetables, fruits, grains and nuts. Product lists, easy recipes and transition tips are readily available online.

Farrise in the race for an open state Assembly seat, Santa Monica school board member Ben Allen will face attorney sandra Fluke in a state Senate runoff and Republican Elan Carr will battle Democratic state Sen. Ted Lieu to take over for Henry Waxman in Congress, Westside voters decided tuesday.Former state legislator sheila Kuehl,
who topped a field of eight candidates vying for the Los Angeles County Board of supervisors third District seat, is also headed to a runoff with former santa Monica City Councilman Bobby Shriver.overall voter turnout in Los Angeles
County was a dismal 13.2%, with about 636,000 of some 4.8 million registered voters casting ballots, according to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder’s office.
congressAt 18% voter participation, turnout
for the 33rd Congressional District race exceeded the county average but was sluggish for a contest that garnered national attention and featured a crowded ballot of 18 candidates. With 61% of votes cast in the historically
left-leaning district divided among three Democrats and well-funded Independent Marianne Williamson, criminal prosecutor
Carr — one of only two Republicans in the race — walked away as the top finisher with 21.5% support, about 17,900 votes.Lieu received 19% of votes cast to finish
second and also advance to the runoff. Former Los Angeles City Controller
Wendy Greuel, who trailed Lieu with 16.8% of the vote, finished third and was eliminated from the contest. Williamson finished with 13% of the vote, and radio host Matt Miller finished fifth at about 12%.Lieu said Wednesday that he would
continue to focus on education, job creation and environmental protection heading into November. “We feel pretty good about how we ran
our campaign, which was a very positive campaign,” Lieu said.
state senateIn the eight-way race for the 26th
California senate District, Allen, a Democrat, jumped ahead early during the vote-by-mail tally and held on to the lead all night, finishing with 21.8% support, or roughly 19,700 votes.Redondo Beach attorney seth stodder,
an Independent, held second place early but was gradually overtaken by Fluke, a Democrat, and eliminated from the runoff. Fluke finished with 19.7% support; stodder with 17.5%.
Former state Assemblywoman Betsy Butler and Manhattan Beach Mayor Amy Howorth received 16.7 % and 15.5% support and came in fourth and fifth place, respectively.Republican-turned Independent Bill
Bloomfield, a businessman who two years ago challenged Waxman at the polls, spent more than $500,000 in support of Allen, according to secretary of state records.
state assemblyIn what had been a tepid race to start,
the rivalry between Democrats Burke and Farrise for California’s 62nd Assembly District heated to a boil in the week before election Day.Independent political action committees
supporting Burke, daughter of former L.A. County Supervisor Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, launched attack ads against Farrise that dredged up past charges of real estate fraud against Farrise that were later dropped. Farrise, an attorney, announced last
week that she would pursue a defamation lawsuit and said she had been the victim of identity theft by a physically abusive ex-husband.the Farrise campaign countered with
attack mailers accusing Burke of being in bed with Big Oil interests.“Because it was so untrue I actually just
never acknowledged it,” Burke said of those ads. “I was endorsed by the Sierra
Club and went through their vetting process.” In the end, Burke captured a
commanding 41.2% of the vote compared to 12.5% for Farrise, who was eliminated from the primary. Republican Ted Grose, a real estate
executive, captured second place with 20% of the vote and will face Burke in November.
l.a. county Board of supervisorsKuehl finished comfortably ahead of
shriver, posting 36.2% voter support over shriver’s 28.8% in a contest that saw participation from just under 12% of the more than one million registered voters in the district.Both Democrats head into the runoff.
West Hollywood City Councilman John Duran, also a Democrat, came in third with 16.4% support and was eliminated from the contest. Kuehl said she would continue to tout
her 14 years of legislative experience in the run-up to November. Because the county board administers
state and federal funding across municipal lines, “my experience as a state legislator is more relevant to what supervisors do” compared to Shriver’s city council experience, she said. For more election results, visit

By Gary WalkerA county advisory commission
reviewing a proposal to reconfigure the landscape of Marina del Rey sided with an unexpected coalition of boat owners and business interests in opposing the relocation of the harbor’s public boat launch.The Small Craft Harbor Commission
voted 5-0 to oppose moving the launch, described as one of the best in Southern California by many of the 150-plus people who attended the May 28 meeting at Burton Chace Park community room.“I think it was very clear from the
testimony of the speakers that they did not feel there was any need to move the boat launch ramp,” commission member Russell Lesser said after the meeting. “The commission felt that moving it makes no sense at all. there was no clear understanding of why [the L.A. County Dept. of Regional Planning] wanted to move it.”Prior to the vote, Dept. of Regional
Planning representatives outlined the
county’s multidecade visioning plan to accommodate 200,000 square feet of new retail development, as many as 940 additional hotel rooms and a public
pedestrian promenade by reshaping the harbor into four distinct districts: residential, retail, boating and Mother’s Beach. In order to accommodate those districts,
the existing boat launch located at 13477 Fiji Way would be moved further down
Fiji to where Fisherman’s Village, which also faces demolition, stands today. Boat storage and maintenance facilities would also shift toward the far end of Fiji in order to accommodate retail growth to the northeast. Costs of the boat launch relocation have been estimated at about $8 million.While boat owners often voice
grievances against the county at commission meetings, this meeting’s public comment portion was particularly animated, with claims that officials were advancing specious and illegal motives through the county’s harbor redevelopment plan. Many charge that the county’s ultimate
goal is to push owners of small boats out the harbor, with many saying that the retail-heavy visioning plan and other initiatives would discourage recreational boating in Marina del Rey. Michelle summers, who said she
worked in urban planning, expressed surprise that dinghy docks, which would allow boaters to move more easily throughout the harbor, were not discussed. “All I see here is an increase in revenue
and a continued reliance on the corporate structure rather than public service,” summers said. The commission vote is not binding, but
several opponents of moving the launch were heartened by the decision. “You have the best ramp in almost all of
southern California. there’s no reason to spend $8 million to move it,” said Michael Leneman, owner of the local boat hull design-and-build shop Multi Marine.He cautioned during the meeting that
the county’s preferred boat launch relocation site would expose boaters to unfavorable wind conditions during launch and retrieval.
“I know the direction that the wind blows from, and it’s perpendicular to those docks. If you move that launch ramp and there are accidents, I will testify at every court hearing that you were told that this is a very dangerous place to put a launch ramp,” said
Leneman, who teaches oceanography at Cal State Northridge. “All of the optional plans for moving the launch ramp are ridiculously bad. If any of my students ever came up with those plans and had ever launched a boat in their life, I’d give them an F.”Los Angeles County supervising
Regional Planner Gina natoli said that if the boat launch remains where it is, it would start a domino effect impacting the entire visioning plan to consolidate harbor uses into specific districts and hamper plans to integrate new uses. “We would be back to looking at other
options to reroute the promenade and making our retail and commercial and visitor-serving plans more attractive. Any changes would also have an impact on our mobility plans to make the marina more walkable,” Natoli said. California Yacht Club President Steven
Hathaway said the county’s plan to move the public boat launch could also impact his club’s boatyard and two hoists.“My concern is that the visioning
process suggests that the pedestrian promenade should be continuous throughout the marina. But even the county acknowledges that it can be unsafe and dangerous where pedestrians and marine uses coexist, especially where boats, trailers and vehicles are involved in launching activities,” Hathaway said. “The visioning statement should recognize that the goal of recreational boating can conflict with a continuous pedestrian promenade.” tim Riley, who represents the Marina
Lessees Assn., said leaseholders of county-owned residential and commercial parcels in the harbor aren’t satisfied that there is enough justification for moving the boat launch. “We would like to know what went into
the decision on picking the relocation of the launch ramp as opposed to the other alternatives that would keep it in place,” said Riley, who called for documentation of public input on whether to move the boat launch. several speakers claimed they had heard
about the meeting last-minute or had been unaware of the county visioning plan despite multiple public workshops held in Marina del Rey last year. The next hearing about the county’s
visioning plan is before the Los Angeles County Design and Control Board on June 18 at the Burton Chace Park community room. Following that meeting, the matter heads to the Regional Planning Commission. the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisors is expected to make a final decision this fall, natoli said.

News iN brief
City and campus police officers who responded to last year’s shooting rampage that culminated at santa Monica College were recognized for exemplary service during the santa Monica Police Dept.’s biennial awards ceremony on May 21.A year ago saturday, roving 23-year-old
gunman John Zawahri killed five people and injured several others before being shot dead by police at the college.santa Monica College Police Capt.
Raymond Bottenfield, who was off-duty when he responded to the campus shootings, received a medal of valor. On the day of the shooting, Bottenfield
and sMCPD sgts. Mark Kessler and Jere Romano —who each received medals of courage during the ceremony — evacuated students from a counseling
center en route to exchanging gunfire with Zawahri at the college library. “My only thought was to get those kids
out of the way. We just gathered them up and got them out of there,” Kessler recalled. Along the way Bottenfield encountered
his friend Margarita Gomez, a fixture on the campus who arrived daily to collect bottles and cans for recycling and was killed by Zawahri. Some of Gomez’s surviving family
members attended the ceremony and praised Bottenfield as a hero. “I believe that God was with Ray
that day,” Bottenfield’s wife, Cindy Bottenfield, said.

In a May 29 ceremony along its Aviation Walk of Fame on sepulveda Boulevard, Westchester’s Flight Path Learning Center & Museum honored four men and one organization for significant contributions to aviation. the Walk of Fame and its aviation
rotunda at the corner of La tijera Boulevard recently received upgrades that included a new Honorary service Wall at the corner of Howard B. Drollinger Way. The Honorary Service Wall celebrates
community leaders whose work contributed to the advancement and preservation of aviation culture or improved quality of life in and around Los Angeles International Airport. Last thursday marked the induction
of its first four honorees: Howard B. Drollinger, who was a key developer of the sepulveda gateway to LAX after serving as a combat plane navigator in World War II; John A. Garstka, an Air Force veteran who taught at Loyola Marymount University and had served as the museum’s chief financial officer; David tallichet, an aviation historian and collector who operated a chain of
restaurants that included The Proud Bird; and the Bob Hope USO at LAX, which provides hospitality and services for military service members being deployed through the airport. “These [awards] are for people who have
a background in aviation and aerospace, but more than that they’re developers, they’re educators, they’re community leaders,” said Nancy Kier, the museum’s corporate secretary and chair of its Awards and Beautification Committee. William R. tallichet, son of David
Tallichet, said his father had been dedicated to preserving the history of military aviation, collecting and restoring more than 250 vintage World War II aircrafts for public display. “His legacy is really in those planes in 32
different air museums, memorial groups and veterans groups around the country,” tallichet said. Joseph “Tym” Tymczyszyn, an FAA

The LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce, which last year backed a controversial proposal to move Los Angeles International Airport’s north runway closer to Westchester and Playa del Rey, this year called on airport officials to increase the public comment period for an environmental review of the project. While that doesn’t signal a change
of heart, “It is important that the community understand all the details of this proposal,” LAX Chamber President Christina Davis said.the airport’s plan to relocate the runway
contemplates development on Westchester
Parkway from sepulveda east Way in Westchester to Pershing Drive in Playa del Rey and additional open space in the area.Many residents have lodged objections
to the proposal, which is opposed by the Neighborhood Council of Westchester – Playa, Los Angeles Mayor eric Garcetti and L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin. the comment period for the
environmental review began on May 16 and runs through July 16, according to the Los Angeles World Airports website, lawa.org.

Los Angeles-area students stood together on Dockweiler state Beach last month to send a giant text message on behalf of the Pacific Ocean.“CLEAN ME UP :)” reads that message,
created by some 4,000 students who arranged themselves in a pattern on the sand for the aerial photo op during the 21st annual Kids ocean Day Adopt-A-Beach Clean-Up.“Kids Ocean Day is about connecting
kids to the beaches and ocean. Our goal is to take the powerful message of personal responsibility to the world,” said
organizer Michael Klubock, who started the Malibu Foundation for Environmental education. “The kids are becoming aware of the
impact their actions have on the ocean. they see that plastic trash and litter is under the surface of the ocean and entering our food chain. they are learning that what starts with us ends up in the ocean,” Klubock said. For more information about the program,

the husky male sea lion languished for than a year among the boat docks of Marina del Rey, a discarded nylon packing strap wrapped around the animal’s neck so tightly that it left a raw circular wound. For months Peter Wallerstein, who has
spent the past three decades rescuing sick or injured marine animals from Westside shorelines, received calls from concerned residents. But each time he arrived at the docks to capture the hefty sea lion for lifesaving treatment, the animal would awaken and disappear into the water. Wallerstein, not about to give up, hatched
a new plan that involved some heavy-duty assistance — a truck with a winch and a crew of Los Angeles County lifeguards and sheriff’s deputies. After finding the elusive animal asleep on a yacht’s dive platform, Wallerstein slipped quietly into the water and deployed a floating net around the back of the boat. He pounded
on the platform and the startled creature instinctively dove into the net. Following a short but sizable struggle, the sea lion was hoisted into the truck and delivered to the nonprofit Marine Mammal Care Center at Fort MacArthur in san Pedro, where it was treated before being released back into the marina about a month later. “That laceration left such a scar that
people still think it’s an open wound,” Wallerstein said of the sea lion, which still hangs out in the harbor. “Five years later, and I still get calls on that fella.” At 62, Wallerstein remains the director
and sole staff member of Marine Animal Rescue, a 24/7 nonprofit animal emergency response unit headquartered at Dockweiler state Beach. saving sea animals is what Wallerstein breathes, thinks and dreams. Marine Animal Rescue responds to emergencies from Pacific Palisades to san Pedro to Catalina Island, and Wallerstein sleeps close to his cell phone to take calls from law enforcement, lifeguards and members of the public
whenever they come. Wallerstein estimates that he’s come to
the aid of some 4,000 marine mammals — seals, sea lions, dolphins and whales included — and more than 2,000 sea birds off the Los Angeles County coastline since 1985. Last year he logged 430 mammal and 150 sea bird rescues, and as of May had wrangled with more than 200 marine mammals and nearly 100 sea birds this year. “Peter Wallerstein is the Energizer
Bunny of animal rescue. He’s never changed — he just keeps going,” said Dep. Tim Hazelwood of the Sheriff’s Dept.’s Marina del Rey station, who has known Wallerstein for 30 years and was on hand in the harbor when Wallerstein wrangled the strap-constricted sea lion.
A Whale’s GratitudeWallerstein is at home in his office. He
lives and works in a modest but well-cared-for RV at Dockweiler beach — a space just big enough for him, his once-
feral longhair gray cat and the laptop, phones and paperwork necessary to run Marine Animal Rescue. originally from Connecticut, he spent
a few years during the 1970s living in an isolated mountain cabin in New Hampshire before venturing to the Florida Keys, where he continued to live by himself on an otherwise uninhabited island. Wallerstein said that in his solitude
he sought mastery of the mind to temper his self-reliance and hone his creative problem-solving skills. Relying on himself in extreme conditions steeled him in his path to becoming an autonomous — albeit somewhat loner — environmentalist, long on moxie and short on tolerance for animal suffering. In the early 1980s, Wallerstein found his
way to California and became involved in whale rescues. After helping free a gray whale and her calf that had become entangled in fishing nets off the coast of Palos Verdes, Wallerstein was struck by

how the mother whale seemed to know what the rescue team was doing. “After we freed her, we worked to
untangle her calf’s fluke. She swam under our boat six times without touching it, gently lifting the calf to the surface so it could breathe,” recalled Wallerstein, who interpreted the whale’s tenderness while they rapidly cut the lines from her calf as a token of gratitude. “Here was this huge animal that could
have easily risen up and pitched us from the boat, but her every motion remained slow and smooth,” he said.When the rescuers finished, both whales
swam circles around the team before disappearing into the depths of the mighty Pacific. “This experience,” Wallerstein said, “was
when I knew I was doing what I should be doing.”Wallerstein soon began rescuing other
animals along the southern California coast and in 1988 established the non-profit Whale Rescue Team, rebranded in 2008 as Marine Animal Rescue. In his early years, Wallerstein noted
how seals and sea lions were handled during typical rescues. At the time, animal control officers and sometimes even city parking officials were called out to collect injured or stranded animals. they’d arrive with a snare — a long pole with a choke collar on the end — and would drag the animal by its neck area back to the ocean or to a transport vehicle. the method didn’t sit well with Wallerstein, who endeavored to conduct rescues in a manner that would inflict less pain and trauma. “The less human contact and less
constriction around an animal’s neck, the better,” said Wallerstein, who trains lifeguards and sheriff’s deputies how to interact with animals with as little human contact as possible. Now, instead of wrangling sea creatures with a snare, they call Wallerstein, who arrives with special
nets constructed around PVC pipe and transport cages of his own design. “We’ve all watched his equipment and
techniques evolve,” said Hazelwood. “One day he rescued five abandoned seal pups, one right after another. He did it with nets only — no snares, no dragging.”
A Morning in the LifeIt’s 8 a.m. on April 26, and already Wallerstein is on his way to san Pedro to deliver a seal pup he rescued overnight during the heavy winds of a late-season rainstorm. The pup had become stranded on the Marina del Rey sheriff’s station boat dock with a mess of gill net wrapped
around its neck. Wallerstein removed the netting but the pup seemed underweight, so he opted to take it to the Marine Animal Care Center. The pup is checked in by 9 a.m., but
as soon as Wallerstein is back on the freeway he gets a call from local birders at Dockweiler. they’ve found an injured cormorant. At the beach a ring of birders greets
Wallerstein with eager smiles. A middle-aged woman is cradling a cormorant wrapped in a blue shirt, both shirt and bird gritty and matted with sand. “I think it’d be best not to wrap the
bird,” Wallerstein says. “But it’s shivering; it must be so cold,”
the woman says, softly but firmly.Wallerstein unwraps the bird and loads
it into a small crate in the back of his truck. It is trembling and for a moment tries feebly to stand. The birders thank Wallerstein as he pulls away from the beach—just in time to respond to a call in El Segundo about an emaciated pup near the power plant. Down the coast, Wallerstein drives
cautiously over the sand until he comes upon the pup, which lies exposed on a narrow stretch of the beach. A five-foot retaining wall rises on one side while the surf pounds fiercely on the other. To
rescue this one, Wallerstein has to park 100 feet or more away and then hope the animal doesn’t retreat into the water before he can get his net around it. this time, however, the pup has a
significant lead and slips into the water just as Wallerstein’s net comes down empty at the edge of the sea. no dice.It’s almost 10 a.m. as Wallerstein climbs
back into the truck. Timing the surf just right, he shoots his truck through the narrow strip of sand to where Los Angeles County lifeguard Jesse simon waits in a red four wheel drive truck. the men roll down their windows.“Damn, you’ve got bigger ones than I’ve
got,” proclaims Simon, slowly shaking his head.Again, Wallerstein’s phone rings
interrupting conversation. this one’s a report of a pelican with a broken wing. “Doesn’t sound good,” Wallerstein says. He drives along the beach back to
Dockweiler and finds the injured brown pelican, its left wing trailing behind, and, like the cormorant, covered in sand. this bird fights being handled, but Wallerstein prevails. With one hand around the top of the pelican’s beak and his other hand securing its wings, Wallerstein steadies the bird and loads it into a large crate. “They’ll probably have to euthanize

this one,” he says, “but at least it’s more humane than for it to wait around and be picked apart by the gulls and crows or torn apart by dogs.” By 11:15 a.m., Wallerstein is back in
san Pedro to drop off the cormorant and pelican at a bird rescue center at Fort MacArthur.
Fixing broken AnimalsPeter Wallerstein rescues injured marine animals, but he doesn’t fix them. Wallerstein’s Marine Animal Rescue is
one of three organizations, along with Long Beach Animal Control and the California Wildlife Center, that regularly bring patients to the Marine Mammal Care Center at Fort MacArthur.Marine Mammal Care Center operations
Director David Bard said the organization typically treats between 300 and 500 marine mammals each year. Most are eventually released back into the wild.
Last year was especially busy for the center, which Bard said handled more than 600 animal patients, largely due to food distribution issues among California sea lions that resulted in malnourished pups. Wallerstein, who logged 430 mammal
rescues last year, was the starting point for many of those rescues.“Rescue agencies, including Marine
Animal Rescue, perform a valued service in our community. they play an important role in the stranding network,” Bard said. the types of animals that come to the
Marine Mammal Care Center vary by season, with sea lions and seals giving birth at different points in the year. Domoic acid, an algae-produced biotoxin affiliated with red tide, can be a factor in late spring, but Bard said that so far this year the number of those cases has not been high. This year the center saw between 250
and 300 animal patients in the first four
months of the year— down from more than 400 over the same period in 2013 — but next year’s anticipated El Niño weather cycle is expected to impact food sources and drive up rescue numbers.Injuries that are irrefutably due to human
interaction — net entanglements, debris ingestion and even the occasional gunshot wound — account for 10% to 15% of cases annually, Bard said.
Wallerstein’s efforts to get animals to the care center are immensely praiseworthy, said Robert Jan van de Hoek, president of the Ballona Institute, a wetlands advocacy group in Playa del Rey.“Without a full-time warden or rangers
[for the Ballona Wetlands], Peter ends up picking up the slack,” van de Hoek said. “In my view he is one of the heroes of this area.”
“ After we freed [the whale], we worked to untangle her calf’s fluke. She swam under our boat six times without touching it, gently lifting the calf to the surface so it could breathe.”

Participants and spectators alike can look forward to much fun in the sun when the annual Santa Monica Pier Paddleboard Race & ocean Festival returns to santa Monica Beach on saturday.equal parts competition, party and
fundraiser, beachgoers can watch as participants in five main aquatic contests — a fun paddle, long course, elite race and the Tommy Bahama stand up paddleboard and paddleboard knockout — start and finish on the sand immediately south of the pier, with race prizes totaling more than $5,000. Winners receive hand-carved Koa bowl
trophies and, as always, proceeds from participant fees (the event is free to spectators) flow to the Santa Monica-based ocean preservationist nonprofit Heal the Bay. “This event is for people who care about
the ocean, the watershed that feeds into our ocean and the ecosystem that lives inside our ocean,” event founder Joel Brand said. “The surf makes [the races] challenging and interesting.”the 5th annual santa Monica Pier
Paddleboard Race & Ocean Festival also

Brand segued from a career as an international journalist (notably covering the 1990s Kosovo War for Newsweek) to operating a public relations firm. He’s been a paddle boarder for six years
and a surfer for three decades.“The Santa Monica Pier is an iconic
location. We have this amazing tradition of swimmers, surfers and paddle boarders going back to the 1920s, ‘30s and ‘40s. One of the birthplaces of paddle boarding is Santa Monica,” Brand said of his inspirations. That tradition is not lost: Some 7,000
people attended last year’s event over the course of the day, he said.Last month Heal the Bay published its
annual Beach Report Card water quality grades, based on tests conducted last year, and found the shoreline around santa Monica Pier needing some attention. other nearby beaches, including Venice Beach, posted record-high scores. Heal the Bay conducts monthly beach
cleanups, with several happening around the pier. “We owe a lot to Heal the Bay for
bringing awareness to the importance of clean water and clean ocean,” Brand said.
Ultimately, the event is intended to unite people who actively enjoy and care about the ocean. “I call it a ‘friendraiser.’ We’ll have hula
dancers all day. It’s kind of a big party,” Brand said.

It’s generally bad form to read someone else’s love letters — in them one makes personal statements that are not meant for the eyes of outsiders. to show them to others is an invitation to embarrassment, to ridicule even, for immoderately expressed passions.there are those who are proud
enough of their love letters that they publish them — or in the case of Superba Food + Bread, open a bakery. You did read that right: their website calls the place “a love letter to the traditional neighborhood bakery,” and the inspiration and passion are clear. My neighborhood bakery when I was a kid was about a tenth of the size of this establishment, but the loaves of crusty bread stacked where customers can see them brought back happy memories. When we went to Superba
Food + Bread for dinner with friends, we started with two bread-centric items: a cheese plate with baguette as well as a bruschetta with pea tendrils, sweet pea crème fraiche and cubes of bacon gelee. The bruschetta was served on sourdough toast (called pain au levain here) and it was very fine — the sweet vegetable flavor of peas and pea tendrils on sourdough would have been enough by itself, and the bacon gelee added a subtle flavor. Some bacon-flavored items taste like smoke and nothing else, but this had enough porkiness for balance. the cheese plate was very well
selected with a luscious Vermont soft cheese, aged pecorino, blue, and white cheddar, but the highlight was one of the accompaniments. Along with dabs of honey and a scattering of marcona almonds, there were pickled green strawberries. I had heard about these and now I have experienced them, and they’re wonderful. they’re like nothing I’ve had before — think of a bread and butter pickle with a fruity strawberry overtone and you’re close. The pickled green strawberries
go well with cheese and bread, like the perfect baguette that was served here. I was so enthusiastic about the bread that our server brought out another
chunk of baguette for us to taste, served with an excellent butter. We devoured it, but I was disappointed that we couldn’t try some of the rye and other varieties. I might have brought up the subject again, but our main courses arrived first. Superba Food + Bread offers
nightly suppers ranging from the simple to lavish — a gourmet version of the All-American burger on Monday, lamb neck osso bucco on Wednesday, skate wing with charred lettuce on Friday. sunday was fried chicken night, and I was dining with three people who had spent time in the south, so they all ordered it. I could have easily done the
same, having been enticed by the sight of orders delivered to nearby tables, but the seared arctic char with peas, rhubarb and mint sounded too interesting. It was an exotic combination, the tart rhubarb and sharp mint delightful with fish. It could have been the perfect centerpiece of a meal, but for one thing — it was all alone on the plate. I wished our server would have mentioned this.Luckily I was able to nosh on the
sides from my companions’ fried chicken — a delicious sweet-and-sour collard green slaw and a fluffy, flaky biscuit. I even scored a piece of the fried chicken, which was pure southern goodness. The crisp batter had salt, pepper and a hint of herbs, nothing that anybody’s Virginia grandmother wouldn’t put in fried chicken. It was commendable restraint that showed that the chefs here know when to embellish a recipe and
when to let it be.With dinner our friends
sampled microbrews while I tried wines from their mostly French selection. though the wines were fine, the list here is short and high-priced — corkage here is $35 per bottle, also unusually high, so it may be a good idea to stick with beer or non-alcoholic beverages. They have an impressive coffee bar in the corner, so caffeniacs are advantaged here. several dessert pastries were
offered from a case in the corner, but we decided to try a strawberry-basil pavlova and a vanilla caramel custard with orange and Aperol. I’m not a fan of pavlovas because the meringue is usually too sweet, but the basil with strawberries added an interesting note to the sweet meringue. the custard was more to my liking, the bittersweet and flowery Aperol liqueur a fine foil for creamy custard and caramel. our meal ran $70 per couple
for food, $110 including drinks, far above what I’d pay at my old neighborhood bakery. Then again, that old bakery had nothing like the variety and creativity of the menu here. this love letter to neighborhood bakeries is to a grown-up and sophisticated version of the original, and if that’s what you seek, this is the place for you. Superba Food + Bread is open
from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays. Park in the lot or on the street.

By Michael AushenkerFarmers markets provide four
great values for communities: healthy eating, ecological sustainability and support for both small farms and the local economy. such are the tenets of Amelia
saltsman’s decades-long mission to spread awareness of the virtues of farmers markets, as articulated in her 2007 book “The santa Monica Farmers’ Market Cookbook: Seasonal Foods, simple Recipes and stories from the Market and Farm.” As a hands-on companion to the
book, Saltsman leads monthly 90-minute educational tours of her local santa Monica Farmers’ Market, one of the largest in the nation. Her next tour happens Wednesday. “My goal is to empower and
help people become confident shoppers. It’s not just about admiring fruits and vegetables. A good balanced farmers market will have much more — poultry, eggs, cheeses and flowers grown by farmers who also grow fruits and vegetables. Those flowers aren’t just for beauty, [they’re by-products of] a sustainable farming practice,” Saltsman said. A longtime advocate of farmers
markets and family farms, Saltsman has written about food for publications including Bon Appétit and the Los Angeles times, is a frequent guest on KCRW’s “Good Food with Evan Kleiman” and is a contributing editor to the annual food-lovers’ guide “Eat: Los Angeles.” she also serves on the California
Certified Farmers’ Markets Advisory Committee and the state’s Direct Marketing task Force.“We take a lot of things for
granted. A good farmers market is a tremendous opportunity to a small family farmer. It’s the difference between surviving and not surviving,” Saltsman said.Saltsman began her crusade
when she started shopping at santa Monica’s market 30 years ago after moving to town.“I’ve watched it grow. … One
of the reasons it is such a strong market is it’s a city-run market with tremendous support from the city,” she said, adding that “not all farmers markets are created equal.” While saltsman singles out
Mar Vista’s sunday and Venice’s Friday morning markets as demonstrative of farmers markets done right, she believes the
Pacific Palisades and Brentwood markets, for example, could use some work. “Playa Vista is a developing
market. I have hopes for that one,” she said.saltsman said strong farmers
markets are rarely products of overnight success — the Mar Vista market took several years to evolve — and that patience among vendors and customers alike are key to the success of budding markets, such as Marina del Rey’s. Also, “a good farmers market
needs at least 80% farmers,” she said. “Typically, when you shop
directly from a farmer, you’re getting the freshest ingredients because they’re being picked within a day of coming to market. the shelf life is longer. In most instances, farmers choose a lifestyle that is not easy because they’re passionate about growing for flavor.”Saltsman said she often fights
the perception that farmers market produce is too expensive.
“That’s a kind of myth that I really want to bust,” she said. “Are there things that are expensive? Sure, but it reflects the true cost of growing that food. Quality food is not subsidized.”If everyone did even a small
amount of their shopping at farmers markets, said saltsman, the physical and economic health of the nation would be far better off.“You make good personal
choices, you make a difference in the local economy and you also help sustain the land. You’re protecting biodiversity, flavor, choice. If everyone changed just 10% of their shopping habits, we would have a much more robust economy,” she said. Saltsman’s next tour runs from 9
to 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, starting from the manager’s booth near the corner of Arizona Avenue and 2nd Street. Tickets are $45, or $65 including a signed book. RSVP at ameliasaltsman.com.

What’s your first priority in the new job?Getting to know the community. I’m going to have to do a lot of listening, a lot of networking and work with my staff on the directions my libraries are going in and what services we’re providing.
What do you see as challenges and opportunities within the santa Monica Public library system?santa Monica has well-loved and heavily used libraries, beautiful facilities and superb staff. The challenge will be identifying and planning for the next generation of library services. Planning strategically and listening to community members, we will figure out the major concerns and focus on specific priorities. Examples might include early literacy for lifelong success at a young age or resources for entrepreneurs or recent immigrants. We will adapt and change in time, but we have to have a road map.
how do you think libraries should evolve in the digital age? It depends on the community and what they are ready for, but I certainly think technologies and use of space can be updated, and we will be looking at new collaborators and partnerships. the physical space is so important. the key is to be responsive to the needs of the community and to anticipate future needs. Libraries are changing and there are a lot of burgeoning digital media facilities, maker spaces, animation studios and performance and experimental labs. We should explore doing all of that.In terms of somerville’s physical and
programming needs, teens did not have a place of
their own or a mixed-use space. there was only a common space that teens did not use because it was a quiet space. With various partners, we needed to create a new teen space and we did it. now 50-plus students come into that space every day.I firmly believe that libraries are places for the
community. Whether that’s online, on your mobile device or in the physical space, the library is a third place for all residents to enrich their lives, expand their knowledge base and pursue lifelong dreams. It’s critical for librarians at all levels to ask themselves: What are the pedagogical approaches we can take to enhance the experience? What do people need? What are the key critical issues or problems that a community, such as santa Monica, is trying to solve?
What authors have really resonated with you? Ernest Hemingway wrote about terrible events such as war in such a beautiful profound way. Isabel Wilkerson wrote a book [2010’s “The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration”] following three different people [an African-American doctor, agricultural worker and sharecropper’s wife] who made the migration north. It’s quite a beautiful, powerful read.
had you visited santa Monica before taking the job? six years ago I came to santa Monica for a conference and stayed at the Double Tree. I got to experience yoga class, the farmers market, and at the time I said to myself, ‘You know, I can imagine living here.’ I’m a foodie, yogi and jogger, and I look forward to making new friends.
Physical space in a digital age Incoming Santa Monica City Librarian Maria Taesil Hudson Carpenter on the role of libraries in the 21st century
T his week Santa Monica’s five-branch, 200-employee library system welcomed a new leader.
Maria taesil Hudson Carpenter arrives after running the three-branch Somerville public library system near Boston and takes over for Greg Mullen, who retired after eight years at the helm.Carpenter, of Korean heritage, grew up in
Connecticut in a multiracial family of nicaraguan brothers, a Swedish sister and parents of Dutch and German heritage. As a librarian at Northeastern University, Carpenter hosted a public access show that spotlighted local literary subjects, and in Somerville she reconfigured facilities to increase public engagement. Santa Monica’s library system — which expanded
in April with the opening of its 8,690 square-foot Pico branch, the city’s first new branch in more than half a century — operates on an annual budget of about $12 million, creating plenty of opportunities to grow at a time when book stacks are giving way to computer terminals, Carpenter said. “We think she will take our five-star library system to new heights,” said Santa Monica City Manager
Rod Gould. “Her enthusiasm is infectious, and her expertise and passion for library service is highly evident to all who speak with her.”
