San Gabriel Valley now home to electric bike share subscription program

BY STAFF

The San Gabriel Valley is now home to a regional electric bike share program. Made possible by the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) and ActiveSGV, the GoSGV program offers San Gabriel Valley residents monthly subscriptions for electricassist cargo and commuterstyle bicycles.

“The San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments is proud to launch one of the largest bike share subscrip tion programs in the United States,” said Monrovia Mayor and San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments President Becky Shevlin. “Through GoSGV’s innovative monthly subscription model, residents across the San Gabriel Valley will have access to affordable green modes of transporta tion.”

For about the same cost of renting an electric bike for a few hours in Santa Monica, San Gabriel Valley residents can ride a GoSGV ebike for an entire month. Participants are able to choose from two types of e-bicycle: a commut er-style “City” e-bike, or a cargo e-bike designed to carry larger loads and/or small children. Featuring internal gearing, integrated front and rear lights, puncture-resis tant tires, one-size-fits-most step-through frames, and a reliable Bosch mid-drive motor, both program bicycles are designed for hassle-free trips around town.

“I am thrilled about the launch of GoSGV, a regional bike share program that offers San Gabriel Valley residents another affordable option for transportation,” said Mayor of El Monte Jessica Ancona. “Here in El Monte, we have been working to make our streets more bike friendly, along with reducing our carbon footprint. These e-bikes are a means of affordable,

non-polluting transporta tion to reduce vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions to help improve the environment here in our region. We are very fortunate to house ActiveSGV here in El Monte at the Jeff Seymour Family Center which will now become the main hub for GoSGV. El Monte resi dents will now be able to subscribe monthly to have access to electric-assist bicycles. This program is made possible through a greenhouse gas reduction grant awarded by the Califor nia Transportation Commis sion. I am looking forward to the continued partnership with regional organizations to ensure the success of GoSGV.”

The program is one of the first of its kind in the United States to employ a monthly subscription model for e-bike sharing, as far as program organizers can

tell. Internationally, similar programs exist in France (Véligo), Australia (Lug + Carrie), and the Netherlands (Swapfiets, VanMoof).

“The California Transpor tation Commission awarded $4.554 million in Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund-Active Transportation Program funds to the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments for the implementation of their innovative regional e-bike share program,” said Califor nia Transportation Commis sioner Hilary Norton. “One of the goals of the grant was to reduce vehicle miles traveled and increase the number of trips accomplished by walking and biking, increasing the safety and mobility of nonmotorized users. I am very pleased that today’s launch moves the San Gabriel Valley towards this goal.”

According to Caltech professor Jonah Kanner, the first Pasadena resident to

sign up for a GoSGV e-bike, “What’s great about this program is that it lets me try out a high-quality e-bike, for a really low cost. The bike is fast, smooth, and quiet. It takes me about 15 minutes to get across Pasadena, and the ride is easy and fun.”

Introductory pricing for the bike is $69 a month for the general public and $49 a month for students. The Urban Arrow Family bakfiets or “box bike” – equipped with child seat belts and rated to carry up to 550 pounds – is available for $129 a month for up to 2 months. All bikes come equipped with a lock and charging cable.

“Utilizing cycling as an alternate mode of transpor tation offers considerable environmental benefits that help reduce carbon emissions while enhancing public health and wellness in underserved communi ties,” said California Trans

portation Commissioner Michele Martinez. “We are enthused to see our grant funds support innovative and active modes of trans portation programs such as GoSGV.”

The program is supported by local bike shops such as Around the Cycle in Pasadena, The Cub House in San Marino, and Stan’s Bike Shop in Azusa, which will help maintain program bikes.

“Once fully operational, GoSGV will have an inven tory of 840 e-bikes, offering residents across the San Gabriel Valley an affordable, non-polluting transporta tion option that improves air quality and helps reduce vehicle miles traveled,” said Claremont Mayor Pro Tem and Transportation Commit tee Chair Ed Reece.

Restaurant review: Tây Hố in San Gabriel

BY BRIANNA CHU

The past two years have been a challenging time for even established restaurants to keep afloat. Undaunted, recent college graduate Vivian Yenson opened her first Tây Hố takeout location in January of this year, adapting her restaurant model to the mid-pandemic climate she was opening it in. Tây Hố is a family business started by Yenson’s grandparents when they opened their first Tây Hố restaurant in Westmin ster in 1983, and it has since expanded into food manu facturing of classic Vietnam ese staples and ingredients.

Yenson decided to branch her family’s business out west, opening Tây Hố San Gabriel in the classic 626 area earlier this year. She focused on creating a business model built to withstand the uncertainty of the ongoing pandemic that she also hoped would become an accessible mainstay in people’s takeout routines. Read more about Yenson and Tây Hố’s restaurants—which are named after the West Lake district of Hanoi—at HeySoCal.com!

With that in mind, Tây Hố’s food has to withstand the commute of taking your mouth-watering meal home from their restaurants. Given that this food is prepared with the expectation that you will

have to take it out, I want to consider two factors: how it tasted when it got back, and how it withstands being left overs (You also order takeout to have leftovers for another day, right? It can’t just be me…). Here are the dishes I ordered for myself and my spouse, how they withstood the commute back, and their reheat-ability:

First off, the tea can completely be excluded from these factors: it’s tea. Iced, bright, perfectly sweet and refreshing—perfection! We both got Thai tea because we love it, and I’m sorry to any coffee lovers for not trying out the Vietnamese coffee. Next time, I promise!

Let’s crack on to the appe tizers:

The chicken wings were perfectly cooked and still slightly crunchy (they were the last dish to be added to my bag, so that timing likely aided longevity). The fantastic sauce was more of an oil, with just the right balance of tang, umami from what tasted like fish sauce, and a tiny bit of sweetness. The wings were topped with some mildly spicy chopped chili peppers and fresh peanuts. The even better news: even after reheating, the chicken stayed decently juicy. Both fresh and reheated, these wings were a tasty win! Definitely have to order these again.

Next, we ordered the shrimp rolls, which came with a generous portion of dipping sauce. Juicy shrimp, rice noodles, Thai basil, green onion, and cucumber, wrapped in a thin, transparent rice wrapper. This is a fresh, herbaceous, starter, balanced well by the rich, hoisin-esque dipping sauce. After refrig erating, as you might guess, the wrapper gets tougher; eat immediately if possible!

For our main courses, we went with the Tây Hố fried

rice, steak garlic noodles, and of course, Tây Hố’s signature bánh cuốn.

The fried rice included three different meats— sweet and savory traditional Chinese sausage, succulent shrimp, and Vietnamese ham—a classic fried rice upgraded with a sumptuous trio of meats, topped with a fried egg. I can’t tell you how it tastes reheated because we ate it all in one sitting; it was just that addictive! However, I’m quite sure it would reheat fairly well.

The steak garlic noodles featured remarkably tender, savory steak on top of garlic egg noodles, coming together in an incredibly comforting dish. It’s a deceptively simple combination—both main components need to be excel lent, otherwise, there isn’t much else to distract from any subpar quality of either. The steak was cooked to perfec tion, and the garlic noodles were bouncy and flavorful. And, they still tasted fantastic when reheated the next day: the steak remained tender, and the noodles remained chewy and a bit bouncy, though obviously they lost some bounce overnight.

Last, but never least: Tây Hố’s signature bánh cuốn. The box came compartmentalized into sections housing the specialty rice crepes, some of which were filled with a mixture of tender wood ear mushroom and ground pork; Vietnamese ham arrayed atop the crepes; a combina tion of bean sprouts, thinly sliced cucumber, Thai basil, and cilantro; a specific little nook for their fried onions; and a big corner dedicated to the shrimp and sweet potato fritter. Of course, the box also came with a generous container of their housemade dipping sauce.

I would probably recom mend that you prioritize

eating your bánh cuốn first if you decide to order it—don’t let it get cold! Not all of our wrappers were filled with the distinctive, earthy mixture of wood ear mushrooms and ground pork, which was a bit of a shame, as I was quite a fan. In our box, we received slightly more wrappers than there were slices of Vietnam ese pork, as well. It’s a fun, lighter, do-it-yourself kind of meal, filling your crepes to your personal preferences and satisfaction. The dipping sauce added some sweet and sour notes to the bright and savory flavors of the fillings, and only a hint of heat; nothing completely overpowered each bite (unless you didn’t spread

out your Thai basil…definitely not something I’m saying from experience…).

We made the mistake of not eating most of our shrimp and sweet potato fritter on the first day because we were too full. As a result, we learned that it definitely needs to be eaten as fresh as possible, too, as it became tough upon reheat ing.

I want to clarify, though: some things aren’t going to be that good reheated, and aren’t meant to be—nobody is going to refrigerate hard shell tacos and expect them to be just as good the next day, or think that a steak or burger will taste the same

reheated as on the original day. I thought it would be an interesting and practical observation to include the reheat-ability factor, espe cially since it’s takeout food, and also because we couldn’t eat everything all in one day. This way, you can know what things to prioritize on day one, and what things are safe to keep for tomorrow.

This entire enormous meal—which included two appetizers, three main courses, and two drinks— came out to be $67 pre-tax. Before tip, that’s about $75 for an amount of food that would feed three to four people, or provide two people with a sizable lunch the next

day. To me, this makes Tây Hố’s meals a competitive ly-priced, delicious, and healthier takeout option for families and young profes sionals alike! Peruse the menu at restaurant.tayho. com, and find the Tây Hố San Gabriel and Tây Hố Chino Hills locations below:

Two-thirds of Ange lenos believe the Los Angeles Police Depart ment racially profiles Black people at a higher rate than other groups, according to a 2022 Loyola Marymount survey on police and commu nity relations released Tuesday.

Of the 1,755 residents surveyed, a majority of respondents across all races and ethnicities believed Black people are targeted by police more often than other racial groups. The percentage breakdowns ranged from 64% of Latino respondents to 73% of Black respondents.

The survey, conducted between March 24 and June 3, was the second of a three-part study into public opinion of the LAPD by the Leavey Center for Study of Los Angeles at LMU. The first survey was conducted following the 2020 murder of George Floyd by a Minne apolis police officer.

Less than half of respon dents (43%) said police officers treat all racial and ethnic groups equally, and over two-thirds believed officers stop some people without good reasons. Just over half of respondents said police are held account

able (56%) and use force only when necessary (55%). Those figures were all fairly flat compared to 2020.

Police Chief Michel Moore, speaking at Tues day’s Board of Police Commissioners meeting, said the overall results of the survey indicated the satisfaction with the LAPD was high but acknowledged concerns over racial profil ing.

“We have lasting and ongoing concerns about the perception of policing in the city in regards to people who are of color and communities of color, and whether law enforcement and the LAPD can be trusted to act in an unbiased and a fair and impartial manner,” Moore said.

Trust in the LAPD increased by seven percent age points from 2020. Fiftyeight percent of respon dents said they would trust the department to do what is right “just about always” or “most of the time,” compared to 51% in 2020. That figure was below the level of trust in non-police alternatives (63%), but higher than trust in city government (47%) and the media (38%).

Just 16% of respondents were “very satisfied” with the LAPD’s performance, with half of those surveyed answering they were “somewhat satisfied.” The remaining third were either “not very satisfied” or “not at all satisfied.”

The percentage of respondents who described their experiences with LAPD officers as “mostly positive” also dropped from 47% to 41% over the last two years.

The department received slightly higher marks compared to 2020 in how it was maintaining public safety (69%), treating the community with respect (71%), responding with an appropriate amount of officers (66%) and listening to the needs of the commu nity (62%).

Fewer than half of respondents believed that police were doing “very good” or “somewhat good” in responding to mental health crises, as well as being adequately trained to respond to people expe riencing homelessness.

A quarter of respondents reported feeling “unsafe” seeing LAPD officers in their neighborhood, with half answering that they felt

“somewhat safe.”

Three-quarters of respondents said they would prefer to see more police patrolling their neighbor hood.

Just under a third of respondents supported proposals to both “defund” the police and dismantle the police, a decrease from the 2020 survey conducted following Floyd’s murder. But when asked specifically if they would support real locating parts of the police budget to social workers, mental health care and other social services, 70% of respondents answered in the affirmative.

At least one police commissioner, Dale Bonner, called for more context beyond comparing the figures to 2020, where the results may have been skewed by the impact of COVID-19 and protests following Floyd’s murder.

Moore said there was work to be done, but that the numbers were trending in the right direction. He believed that because people are more secure economically than in 2020, “we would see a trending up. And that has manifested itself here.”

Lawsuit challenges ‘outdated’ plans for SoCal offshore oil platforms

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Anenvironmental rights group Wednes day sued the Bureau of Ocean Energy Manage ment for allegedly failing to review decades-old plans for offshore oil platforms near Huntington Beach.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles federal court by the Center for Biological Diversity, comes a year after a major oil spill linked to Platform Elly in the region caused significant damage to wildlife and beaches.

The filing alleges that the BOEM has allowed Platform Elly and other rigs in the Beta oil field to continue operating while relying on drilling and safety plans that were written and approved in the 1970s and 1980s.

“These outdated plans don’t account for the rapidly aging oil industry infra structure off California’s coast,” said Kristen Monsell, legal director of the center’s oceans program. “With these decaying rigs out there, we’re rolling the

dice every day. Our coastal communities and wildlife can’t afford to wait for the next disastrous oil spill while the federal government does nothing. It’s time to get these rusty relics out of our ocean.”

A BOEM representative said the agency does not comment on pending litiga tion.

The spill last October was one of the largest in Califor nia in recent years, releas ing thousands of gallons of oil into the Pacific Ocean and covering more than 8,000 acres. Beaches were closed for days, and the oil killed or injured thousands of birds and other marine wildlife and led to expensive cleanup efforts. The source was a damaged pipeline connecting Platform Elly to Long Beach.

Under the Outer Conti nental Shelf Lands Act, the BOEM has a duty to review and revise drilling plans based on new information or changes in operations, according to the center.

The goal of the require ment is to ensure offshore drilling operations do not cause serious harm to the environment or life -- includ ing wildlife -- or compromise national security.

The Beta field’s plat forms were scheduled to be decommissioned more than a decade ago, but drilling has continued. Despite the discov ery of a slew of new relevant information -- including safety violations, advanced oil spill risk analysis and an increase of vessel traffic in the area -- federal regulators have not required updated versions of the plans, the center alleges in the lawsuit.

“Too much is at stake for Biden officials to ignore these ticking time bombs any longer,” Monsell said. “As long as offshore drilling is going on in the Beta field, the next oil spill is a matter of when, not if, and we’ve already seen the terrible consequences. Our marine wildlife and beachgoers deserve to see these rigs taken out.”

Knott’s Berry Farm allows some chaperones free entry for Halloween event

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Knott’s Berry Farm updated its chaperone policy Wednesday for the park’s popular Knott’s Scary Farm Halloween event, allowing those 21 and over to chaperone up to five guests age 17 and younger instead of four and providing free entry for chaperones who accompany five minors.

The new rules go into effect Thursday, and provide one complimentary chap erone admission for that night’s Halloween event only for those accompany ing five minors who each have a valid paid admission.

The chaperone policy was put in place in July following a brawl among teenagers that caused the park to shut down three hours early one night.

Knott’s originally required all guests 17 and younger to be accompanied by a 21-or-older chaperone

on Fridays and Saturdays, but later extended the rule to Sundays, and said other days of the week might be added if necessary.

The policy is in effect for all nights of the Hallow een event, and will also be implemented during the upcoming holiday period.

The chaperone must present a valid photo ID with date of birth. Chaper ones must accompany their party during entry, remain inside the park during their visit and be available by phone throughout their stay.

Guests 17 years old or younger who are found inside the park unaccompa nied by a chaperone will be subject to ejection.

“For decades, Knott’s Berry Farm has been a place where families and friends come together to enjoy our one-of-a-kind park.

Millions of guests have counted on us for their daily dose of wholesome family fun, and we’re committed to keeping that promise going forward,” Knott’s said in a message on its website.

The policy follows an outbreak of violence among unruly teens at about 7:30 p.m. July 16. The distur bance was attributed by the park to “unruly behavior and altercations involving a number of teenagers.”

Video circulated on social media showed a melee of brawling teens that sent many park visitors scrambling for safety. Two people were taken to hospi tals for treatment.

Tickets are currently on sale for the annual Hallow een event, which runs on select nights through Oct. 31.More information can be found at www.knotts. com/.

The U.S. Coast Guard with the C-27J Spartan from Sacramento will be at the airshow.

Average Riverside County gas price records largest increase since 2012

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE

The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Riverside County recorded its largest increase since the record 18.1-cent increase Oct. 5, 2012, rising 16.3 cents to $6.108, its highest amount since July 7.

The average price has risen 10 consecu tive days, increasing 79.9 cents, including 14.2 cents Wednesday and 10.3 cents Tuesday, according to figures from the AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. It is 66.7 cents more than one week ago, 94.5 cents higher than one month ago and $1.791 greater than one year ago.

The current run of increases has pushed the average price within 22.2 cents of the record high

of $6.33 set June 14. The average price dropped to $5.128 Sept. 2, $1.202 less than the record high, then began increasing.

“A string of planned and unplanned refinery maintenance issues has severely tightened fuel supply in California,” said Doug Shupe, the Automo bile Club of Southern Cali fornia’s corporate commu nications manager. “West Coast fuel inventories are at the lowest level in about a decade according to Energy Information Administra tion.

“Until the refineries are fully operational again, supply is going to be tight and will cause pump prices to be volatile.”

There may be “some relief” in November when

stations are again allowed to sell winter-blend gas which is cheaper to produce, Shupe told City News Service.

The 2012 figure included stations in San Bernardino County.

The national average price rose for the ninth consecutive day following a 98-day streak of decreases totaling $1.342, increasing 1.7 cents to $3.782. It has risen 10.8 cents over the past nine days, including 1.8 cents Wednesday.

The national average price is 9.8 cents more than one week ago and 59.4 cents higher than one year ago but 6.8 cents less than one month ago.

The national average price is $1.234 less than the record $5.016 set June 14.

UCLA study finds extreme heat waves are not yet happening more than expected

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Acombination of climate change and extraordinary bad luck contributed to the deadly heat wave in the Pacific Northwest in 2021, according to a UCLA study published Wednesday.

The extreme heat wave in the Pacific Northwest was described as a once in a 10,000 years event, linked to climate change and natural variabil ity, but is not necessarily a sign that extreme heat waves are happening more than predicted.

The Pacific Northwest heat wave in 2021 brought 121 degree temperatures, buckled roads, melted power lines, killed hundreds of people and caused a destruc tive wildfire.

“It was outrageous how extreme and severe that heat wave was,” said climate scientist and statistician Karen McKinnon, an assistant professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences, who is also part of the UCLA Institute of

the Environment and Sustain ability. “Climate models struggle to capture events this extreme, and most early research puts the chances of it occurring at zero.”

The UCLA study is in the Sept. 28 issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Researchers analyzed trends in weather stations in Wash ington, Oregon and British Columbia and received climate model simulations for the study. In their research, it was determined climate models could simulate heat waves comparable to the one in 2021 with a probability of them occurring roughly once every 10,000 years. In cities that experienced the moxst extreme temperatures during the heat wave, the probability was once every 100,000 years.

Researchers also conclud ed climate change is increas ing the frequency of heat waves and average summer temperatures at the same pace.

“We don’t see historical evidence of hot temperatures increasing faster than average temperatures during the early summertime when the heat wave occurred,” McKinnon said. “The 2021 Pacific North west heat wave appears to be the result of climate change and extraordinarily bad luck with natural variability.”

The study does not provide evidence that extreme heat waves should start happen ing regularly. However, the summer of 2022 saw recordbreaking heat waves in the United Kingdom, China and California.

“We need to continue evaluating whether these very extreme events are telling us something new about how the climate is changing, and whether they confirm or refute our latest findings,” McKinnon said.

The research was supported by the National Science Foundation and the Packard Foundation.

16-unit tiny home village for unhoused families opens in San Gabriel Valley

BY STAFF

Community members and officials from the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust (SGVRHT), San Gabriel Valley Council of Govern ments (SGVCOG) and the City of Baldwin Park gathered Saturday morning to commemorate the grand opening of Serenity Homes, a new 16-unit family bridge housing project that will cater to the needs of families with children expe riencing homelessness.

“It is truly remarkable to be opening a second tiny home village within a year,” said Baldwin Park Mayor Emmanuel J. Estrada. “Serenity Homes will serve as a model for how cities can expand homeless services and better address the unique needs of unhoused families. I would like to commend city staff and our project partners, the SGVRHT and SGVCOG, for their tremendous efforts and dedication to bringing this project to reality.”

“The opening of Serenity Homes represents an opportunity for new beginnings for unhoused families and is a common sense pathway to achieving permanent housing solu tions in the San Gabriel Valley,” said Monrovia Mayor Becky Shevlin, president of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Govern ments. “The SGVCOG is incredibly proud to be involved in these critical homeless housing projects in the region that are making a tremendous difference at the local level.”

Serenity Homes is the second tiny homes village

in Baldwin Park following the successful opening of the 25-unit Esperanza Villa last November. The tiny home village is the first interim housing site in the San Gabriel Valley specifi cally for families. Located on city-owned property acquired earlier this year, the site consists of sixteen 144-square-foot Boss Cubez family modules, fully furnished with a curated selection of IKEA furni ture and accessories. The furniture store generously donated nearly $30,000 worth of furniture to the site. Each family module includes a full size bed, twin bunk bed, dresser, lamp, mirror, portable table, shelves and storage, shoe rack, and other amenities.

The project is intended to provide temporary bridge housing for about 90 days to six months before families are placed into permanent accommodations. Residents will be offered individual on-site services such as case management and health and mental health services, three meals a day, restroom, laundry, shower trailers, and an on-site computer room to facilitate homework and job training. The site operator, City Net, will provide staffing and security 24 hours a day.

During the ceremony, State Senator Susan Rubio (SD-22), who authored legislation to create the SGVRHT in 2019, presented a $30 million check to the trust in funding secured in the 2022-2023 state budget to continue the momentum of creating more afford able housing and tackling homelessness in the San

Gabriel Valley. This is in addition to the $20 million Senator Rubio secured in the 2021-2022 state budget to support the construction of affordable housing devel opments and homeless housing in the region.

“As a longtime resident and former member of the Baldwin Park City Council, I could not be more proud of the leadership our city has exemplified in tackling the issue of homelessness,” said Senator Susan Rubio. “Today’s grand opening is a testament to the creative and compassionate solu tions we can come up with when cities band together and work collaboratively to address the homeless ness crisis. This $30 million will help the San Gabriel Valley accelerate and expand access to affordable housing that is critical to our region’s future.”

“We could not be more excited for this day,” said Claremont Mayor Jed Leano, chair of the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust. “Being able to celebrate another mile stone with the opening of the San Gabriel Valley’s first bridge housing site dedicated to unhoused families on the same day as receiving this signifi cant state funding of $30 million only makes me even more hopeful for the future. Thanks to the lead ership of Senator Rubio, this new funding will provide the trust and cities in the San Gabriel Valley with the opportunity to find creative housing solu tions, like Serenity Homes and Esperanza Villa, for our unhoused residents.”

La Brea Tar Pits named among first 100 geological heritage sites

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE

La Brea Tar Pits has been selected as one of the most important geological heritage sites by the International Union of Geological Sciences, an organization representing over 1 million geoscientists from around the world, it was announced Thursday.

The formal announce ment will take place next month during IUGS’ confer ence in Zumaia, Spain. A designation similar to UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites, IUGS’ 100 Geologi cal Heritage Sites represent key places with geological elements and/or processes of international scientific relevance, the organization said.

La Brea Tar Pits has been identified by IUGS as the richest Pleistocene -- Ice Age -- fossil site on earth, and as the key paleontological site that has shaped the under standing of this time period for both scientists and the public.

“Beloved by Angelenos and known for capturing the imagination and inspiring pop culture from the current La Brea TV series to the Ice Age animated films, La Brea

Tar Pits is a one-of-a-kind site for scientific research into the past with impor tant data for understanding climate change in our own time,” said Dr. Lori BettisonVarga, president and director

of the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County, which oversees La Brea Tar Pits as an active field site and museum.

“This acknowledge ment from the international

scientific community is recognition of La Brea’s gifts to science and the hard work of paleontologists, prepara tors and volunteers during its more than 100 years of research and excavation,”

she said.

La Brea Tar Pits is the only ongoing, urban Ice Age excavation in the world where fossils are discovered, prepared, researched and displayed in one place.

Inland Empire nonprofit seeks donations to help Florida hurricane victims

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE

An Inland Empire nonprofit is seeking blood donations to send to Hurricane-ravaged Florida, where shortages are acute due to flooding and other impacts.

“On average, blood collec tion organizations nation wide had only 1-2 days’ worth supply of blood supply heading into the storm,” according to LifeStream Blood Bank. “Anticipated disrup tions in blood collections -- as well as transportation challenges -- in Florida and the Southeast throughout the next several days are likely to exacerbate already low inventories, particularly in the affected areas.”

LifeStream, which operates blood collection sites in Hemet, La Quinta, Murrieta, Riverside and surrounding areas, has joined the American Red Cross and other organiza tions in requesting dona tions to help victims of Hurricane Ian.

“LifeStream is asking all eligible blood donors to schedule an appoint ment as soon as possible,”

LifeStream CEO Dr. Rick Axelrod said. “We want to have the product on hand and ready when Florida blood centers request our help.

The ongoing blood shortage makes this a challenge, as our supply is already critically low for our local hospitals here at home. To have an adequate supply for our local patients in Southern California and to support our friends in Florida, we need our loyal donors to answer the call for help.”

Axelrod said there’s a critical demand for 1,000 blood cell units and 2,000 platelet units.

Information on how to make donations can be found at www.LStream.org, or by calling 800-879-4484.

Ian slammed into south west Florida Wednesday afternoon as a Category 4 hurricane, inflicting massive damage on beachfront communities, including Fort Myers and Cape Coral, before plowing northward.

Florida Gov. Rick DeSantis characterized it as “one of the top five hurricanes to ever hit the Florida penin

sula.”

An estimated 2.5 million Floridians are without electricity, according to published reports.

About 500 swift water

and other rescues have been carried out in Charlotte and Lee counties since Wednes day, state officials said.

Forty elder care facilities had to be evacuated in the

face of the storm.

Estimates on casualties have not been released.

Ian was downgraded to a tropical storm by Thursday morning, but it may regain

Outside, visitors can watch fossils of the wildlife trapped in the seeps being unearthed. Inside the museum, scientists and volunteers clean, repair, identify and study the fossils. The best specimens are displayed and all of them are available for research: from saber-toothed cats, giant sloths, dire wolves, mammoths and mastodons -- to microfossils of small animals and plants.

A planned expansion of the Tar Pits’ 13-acre campus has been in the works since 2019, when NHMLAC, through a public competition, selected the architecture firm Weiss/ Manfredi to create a master plan to improve research facilities and collections space, expand exhibits and unify the various elements of the site -- the Lake Pit, the tar pits, the lawn and the museum at La Brea Tar Pits.

“The plan to reimagine La Brea Tar Pits aims to demystify the science and seize this opportunity to educate visitors about the impacts of climate change, in the past and now,” Bettison-Varga said.

Glendale City Notices

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING CITY OF GLENDALE GLENDALE MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT

LEGALS

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN:

Project Description

The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council regarding proposed amendments to Title 30 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995 (Zoning Code Amendment), relating generally to standards for eligible SB 9 projects, minimum SB 478 floor area ratio standards for certain multi-family housing development projects; and minor modifications and clarifications related to junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) and accessory dwelling units (ADUs), Zoning Code Amendment Case No. PZC-0001-2022. The proposed amend ments will be codified and will replace interim urgency Ordinance No. 5985 and will amend Section 30.34.080.

Environmental Determination

The proposed Ordinance is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it implements the provisions of Government Code Sections 65852.21 and 66411.7 and pursuant to Government Code Sections 65852.21(j) and 66411.7(n), is therefore not a project under Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code. Additionally, the proposed ordinance is exempt from CEQA review because it implements the provisions of Government Code Section 65913.11 and is therefore: (1) exempt from further environmental review under CEQA pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines) Section 15305 (minor alterations to land use limitations), Class 5 Exemption, as the Ordinance will allow a slightly more generous floor area ratio than currently allowed in certain zones, but the Ordinance will not allow for or encourage any more density or development than is already anticipated under the City’s existing General Plan and as regulated by existing zoning, or otherwise allow for or promote physical changes in the environment; (2) exempt from further environmental review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because the Ordinance will allow a slightly more generous floor area ratio than currently allowed in certain zones, but the Ordinance will not allow for or encourage any more density or development than is already anticipated under the City’s existing General Plan and as regulated by existing zoning, or otherwise allow for or promote physical changes in the environment, and therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment; and (3) not intended to apply to specifically identified housing development projects and as such it is speculative to evaluate any such future project now. Moreover, the Ordinance is not intended to, nor does it, provide CEQA clearance for future development-related projects by mere establishment of a slightly more generous floor area ratio in certain zones; any such projects subject to the Ordinance will be subject to appropriate environmental review at such time as approvals for those housing projects are considered. Each of the foregoing provides a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance and, when viewed collectively, provides an overall basis for CEQA compliance.

The proposed Ordinance implements the provisions of Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22, second units in a single-family or multifamily residential zone, and is therefore exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15282(h). Moreover, this Ordinance is exempt from further environmental review under CEQA pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Section 15060(c)(1), as it implements provisions of Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852,22, which require ministerial review and approval of accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units and therefore, does not involve the exercise of discretionary powers by the City.

Public Hearing

Said matter concerning the proposed amendments will be the subject of a public hearing by the Planning Commission in Council Chambers of City Hall, 613 East Broadway, on the 19th day of October, 2022, at or after the hour of 5:00 p.m. The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council concerning this matter.

The meeting can be viewed on Charter Cable Channel 6 or streamed online at: https://www.glendaleca.gov/government/departments/management-services/gtv6/live-video-stream.

For public comments and questions during the meeting call 818-937-8100. City staff will be submitting these questions and comments in real time to the appropriate person during the Planning Commission meeting.

If you desire more information on the proposal, please contact Kristen Asp, AICP, Principal Planner, in the Community Development De partment at (818) 937-8161 or email: kasp@glendaleca.gov.

Any person having an interest in the subject project may participate in the hearing, by phone as outlined above, and may be heard in support of his/her opinion. Any person protesting may file a duly signed and acknowledged written protest with the Director of Community Development not later than the hour set for public hearing before the Planning Commission. "Acknowledged" shall mean a declaration of property ownership (or occupant if not owner) under penalty of perjury. If you challenge the decision of this project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City of Glendale, at or prior to the public hearing. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, please notify the Community Development Department at least 48 hours (or two business days) for requests regarding sign language translation and Braille transcription services.
