SaMoHi Science Teacher Arrested for Alleged Student Relationship
Ingo Gaida Faces Misdemeanor Charges After Investigation into Inappropriate Conduct
A Santa Monica High School science teacher was arrested Wednesday, accused of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old female student, according to police.
The arrest of Ingo Horst Gaida, 58, of Los Angeles, followed an investigation that began after Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) detectives were alerted to the alleged misconduct on Jan. 27. The inquiry revealed a disturbing pattern of inappropriate behavior that reportedly started towards the end of last
year and took place at multiple sites across Los Angeles County.
Authorities moved swiftly, culminating in Gaida’s arrest on Feb. 5, where SMPD detectives, alongside uniformed and undercover officers, served arrest and search warrants. Gaida faces charges of annoying or molesting a child under 18 and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, both misdemeanors. He was released from custody with a citation to appear in court, marking his first encounter with the criminal justice system.
The case has been forwarded to the Santa Monica City Attorney’s Office for prosecution. As this story unfolds, the community is left to grapple with the betrayal felt in one of its educational institutions.
SMPD is now reaching out to the public for additional information or reports of similar misconduct, urging potential victims or witnesses to contact Officer Destinee King, Sgt. David Haro, or the SMPD Watch Commander.
Santa Monica’s Earth, Wind & Flour to Close After More Than Four Decades
Known for its laidback atmosphere and commitment to traditional California Italian cuisine, Earth, Wind & Flour has remained largely unchanged since its opening
After more than four decades serving the Santa Monica community, Earth, Wind & Flour, a beloved California Italian restaurant, will close its doors for good on February 23. Owner Dennis Klempner, 83, confirmed the closure, citing the sale of the building.
“It wasn’t my choice to leave, but the building was sold, and the new owners have their own plans,” Klempner said.
“But I don’t see it as a negative. I needed something to make me retire.”
Klempner, who has worked in the restaurant industry for 67 years, opened Earth, Wind & Flourin Santa Monica in 1981. Over his long career, he founded multiple restaurants, including Pizza Peddler in Encino, Michael J’s in Sherman Oaks, and Zach’s Italian Café in Studio City. While he sold most of his ventures over the years, the Santa Monica location remained his longest-standing establishment.
Reflecting on his decades in the industry,
Klempner said the restaurant has always been a place for the community to come together. “People have met here, gotten married, and even had their kids work here. Employees have stayed with me for 30, 35 years,” he said.
Known for its laid-back atmosphere and commitment to traditional California Italian cuisine, Earth, Wind & Flour has remained largely unchanged since its opening. Its old-school charm and
welcoming environment made it a local staple for both in-house dining and nights out at its full-service bar.
While the closure marks the end of an era, Klempner is looking ahead to new pursuits. “I love cars, I own a beauty salon, and I’m always looking for something new. That’s just who I am,” he said. An avid gym-goer, Klempner remains active and open to the future.
Will Rogers State Beach to Become Temporary Hazardous Waste Site
The site, located on flat, open land near the burn zone, will serve as a staging area where materials will be consolidated
Federal, state, and local agencies will designate the Will Rogers State Beach parking lot as a temporary processing site for hazardous materials from properties damaged by the Palisades Fire.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, alongside the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, the California Environmental Protection Agency, and Los Angeles County, announced the move Wednesday to facilitate the safe removal of household hazardous waste, such as paint, bleach, asbestos, and lithium-ion batteries.
The site, located on flat, open land near the burn zone, will serve as a staging area where materials will be consolidated, securely packaged, and transported to permanent disposal or recycling facilities.
The EPA emphasized that the location
was chosen for its proximity to affected properties, which will help accelerate debris removal and allow residents to rebuild faster.
However, the decision has sparked concerns from local officials and residents.
Los Angeles City Councilwoman Traci Park, whose district includes the area, criticized the move, citing potential risks to the sensitive coastal ecosystem.
“Storing hazardous material at the beach, any beach, does not seem like a good idea,” Park said, warning that high tides or debris flows could carry toxic waste into the ocean. She has repeatedly suggested alternative sites within the burn scar and called for a community town hall to address public concerns.
The announcement follows backlash over proposed hazardous waste sites in other areas, including Malibu, where residents and officials opposed a plan to use a lot near schools and homes. Malibu Mayor Doug Stewart welcomed the Will Rogers decision, telling the Los Angeles Times it was a necessary step toward recovery.
The EPA has assured the public that the site will use best management practices, including air monitoring and secure storage in sealed containers, to minimize
environmental and health risks. The agency has faced challenges in finding suitable locations for debris processing, with protests erupting at existing sites in Irwindale and Topanga Canyon.
The Palisades Fire, which devastated parts of Los Angeles County in January
2025, has left behind significant debris, including fire-damaged lithium-ion batteries that pose safety risks. EPA officials stress that leaving hazardous materials in the burn zone is more harmful than relocating them to controlled staging areas.
Culver City Man to Plead Guilty Crashing a Drone into Firefighting Aircraft in Santa Monica
Drone Crash Grounded a Super Scooper During Critical Period the Palisades Fire
The mystery of who was piloting the drone that damaged and grounded one of the Canadian Super Scooper planes in the early days of the Palisades Fire has been solved.
A man from Culver City has agreed to plead guilty to recklessly operating a drone that crashed into a Super Scooper firefighting aircraft battling the Palisades Fire earlier this month, federal prosecutors announced Monday.
Peter Tripp Akemann, 56, will plead guilty to one count of unsafe operation of an unmanned aircraft, a misdemeanor offense that carries a maximum sentence of one year in federal prison, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Akemann, formerly a president of Skydance Interactive, exited the company in 2022, after running Skydance’s video game and virtual reality section. He began working for the company in 2016 after Skydance acquired The Workshop, a company he co-founded.
He will not serve any jail time after accepting a plea deal. Deadline quoted one Palisades community member who works in the entertainment industry who said, “This is not justice. I’m not saying it would have, but that plane could have maybe saved homes and businesses if it hadn’t been damaged.”
Akemann admitted in a plea agreement that his drone posed an imminent safety hazard to the Super Scooper crew. The collision forced the aircraft, which was supplied by the Government of Quebec, out of service temporarily, preventing it from continuing its firefighting mission.
As part of the agreement, Akemann will pay full restitution for damages— at least $65,169—to the Government of Quebec and an aircraft repair company. He will also complete 150 hours of community service to support the 2025 Southern California wildfire relief effort.
“This defendant recklessly flew an aircraft into airspace where first responders were risking their lives in an attempt to protect lives and property,”
Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph T. McNally said. “As this case demonstrates, we will track down drone operators who violate the law and interfere with the critical work of our first responders.”
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had issued temporary flight restrictions prohibiting drone operations near the Los Angeles County wildfires when Akemann launched his drone on Jan. 9. According to the plea agreement, he drove to the top level of a Santa Monica parking structure, flew the drone toward the Pacific Palisades fire, and lost sight of it.
The drone traveled more than 1.5 miles before colliding with the firefighting aircraft, causing a hole approximately 3 inches by 6 inches in the left wing. The damage was discovered after the plane landed, and maintenance personnel removed it from service for repairs.
“Lack of common sense and ignorance of your duty as a drone pilot will not
shield you from criminal charges,” said Akil Davis, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office.
“Please respect the law, respect the FAA’s rules, and respect our firefighters and the residents they are protecting by keeping
your drone at home during wildfires.” Akemann is scheduled to make his initial court appearance Monday afternoon at the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

Santa Monica Continues to Seek Partnership to Reopen Civic Auditorium
The selection process for a development team began in late 2023, when the City Council invited Letters of Interest from entities with financial and redevelopment expertise
Santa Monica officials are continuing efforts to secure a development agreement to restore and reopen the long-shuttered Civic Auditorium, though progress on negotiations has stalled, according to a city press release.
The city has been working toward an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with Revitalization Partners Group (RPG), a development team selected last year based on its experience in renovating historic entertainment venues. An ENA allows the city to negotiate exclusively with a single entity for a set period while determining the feasibility of a project and outlining financial and operational terms.
The City Council first directed staff to pursue an ENA with RPG on July 25, 2024, and a draft agreement was presented to the developer the following week. However, despite months of discussions and two closed-session meetings—one on Dec. 17, 2024, and another on Jan. 28, 2025—RPG has yet to sign the agreement. With an initial deadline of Feb. 28, 2025, fast approaching, city officials are eager to see movement on the project.
“The Council remains committed to bringing the Civic Auditorium back to life,” a city representative said. “We need a clear path forward to ensure this historic venue can once again serve the community.”
The selection process for a development team began in late 2023, when the City Council invited Letters of Interest from entities with financial and redevelopment expertise. RPG was ultimately chosen for its ability to both restore the landmark structure and manage its operations as a cultural and entertainment hub.
If finalized, the ENA would pave the way for a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA), which would define the project’s scope, financial terms, and long-term management strategy. Any changes to the ENA before execution would require City Council approval.
Palisades Charter High School to Host Benefit for Students Affected by Fires
Proceeds from the benefit will go toward replacing essential student resources lost in the fires, including sporting equipment, musical instruments, and technology
Palisades Charter High School is transforming its annual gala into a benefit event to support students affected by the recent fires that devastated the community and led to school closures.
The event, organized by the Pali High Booster Club, will take place on March 29, at The Luxe Hotel in Brentwood and will feature a stand-up comedy performance by comedian Maz Jobrani, who has donated his time to help bring the community together through laughter. Proceeds from the benefit will go toward replacing essential student resources lost
in the fires, including sporting equipment, musical instruments, and technology. The Booster Club, which funds critical programs in arts, academics, athletics, and technology, is seeking sponsorships and donations for the event.
Organizers emphasize that the goal is not just to rebuild lost resources but to restore a sense of normalcy and connection for students.
The evening will include a buffet dinner, an open bar, a DJ, and dancing, providing an opportunity for the community to
gather, reflect, and support Pali High students. The event will also feature an online auction running from March 1 through March 29, offering items such as luxury vacations, private lessons, and sports and concert tickets.
Some of the top auction items include a four-night stay at the Four Seasons Maui, a three-day retreat at Deer Valley Ski Resort, and a four-night stay at a 1969 A-frame house in Lake Arrowhead.
World-Renowned Trumpeter Plays on Ruins of Palisades Home
Lindemann, a professor at UCLA and a former lead trumpeter with the Canadian Brass, has performed in prestigious venues worldwide
Standing atop the charred remains of his Palisades home, world-renowned trumpeter Jens Lindemann played a somber yet hopeful melody over the wreckage.
In a video posted to Facebook, Lindemann performs Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile” as the Santa Monica Mountains loom in the background.
The video, which has been viewed more than 1,600 times, captures Lindemann, a
celebrated classical and jazz musician, standing on a pile of debris that was once his home.
“It is gone … everything,” Lindemann wrote in a Jan. 9 Facebook post. “Our neighbors are like family, and we are all devastated.” He and his wife, pianist Jennifer Snow, expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support but noted they needed time to process the tragedy.
Lindemann, a professor at UCLA and a former lead trumpeter with the Canadian Brass, has performed in prestigious venues worldwide, from Carnegie Hall to the Great Wall of China.
The first classical brass soloist to receive the Order of Canada, he has played for royalty, major orchestras, and at international events, including the 2010 Olympics.

Open Arms Art Show Runs Through Mar. 22 in Burbank
Opening Exhibition
Saturday Feb. 8 from 12 to 8 p.m.
More than an art show, the Open Arms Exhibition is an experience of Los Angeles’ cultural history of theater, performances, songs, art and more, that now runs through March 22nd.
Held at Ambience Doré, celebrating 25 years in business, Open Arms is a retrospective show featuring two artists whose symbiotic lives have been dedicated to art and creative exploration.
Foremost, this powerful exhibition showcases the life and fascinating career of Native American Latino SoCal playwright, producer, and artist Josef Rodriguez White Cloud, who goes by “Doc” and contemporary visual artist Mar Dorè, known as M3.
Doc’s “When Quasars Suck and Black Holes Blow,” “Songs of the Singing Glyphs” and “Wormholes Rock in Dead Tattoos” depicts alternative realities of ethnic life: lucha libre figures, mythic cultural symbols, a mother earth figure and skulls moving through the multiple wormholes of alternate parallel worlds.
During the show, guests will take a step back in history to see grassroots theater and hear songs with lyrics and scripts still pertinent to today’s time. You’ll find a fascinating story of how Doc emerged from the farming community in Fowler, California. In high school, he won the National Forensics’ Original Oratory Championship in 1962 which led to more opportunities.
Six years later Doc produced one of the first minority-written plays, “El Manco” produced in American Theater at the Los Angeles Inner City Cultural Center in 1968. From there, Doc worked with Luiz Valdez in the early ‘70s in San Juan Bautista with his Native America version of “La Virgen de Tepeyac.” In the San Francisco Bay Area, Doc did performances and theater including work at the Hatley Martin Gallery.
Doc carried on the tradition of the theater through his 1992 production of “The Get Lost Again Columbus Opera” premiering for the National Indigenous People’s Days Protest in Berkely. Written in history as the first native American Opera, you can discover the full history in person including his new Sci-Fi Opera script at the Open Arms Exhibit.
Doc and Mar traveled to Indigenous communities. Doc was instrumental in connecting Engineers without Borders to the Indigenous community of Nueva Catalina De Ixtahuacan, Guatemala. The community was relocated after mudslides from Hurricane Mitch.
The combined art of the two is charged with an unspoken energy. Doc’s theatrical
performances, scripts, drawings, paintings and photos are juxtaposed with M3’s abstract contemporary sculptural wall art in metal, rock and mixed media from large to small handheld wearable art.
M3, an MFA graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, is premiering her original Metal Giest series of 3D paintings and contemporary explorations. This art has been intentionally kept off the internet and out of public exposure. For M3, it represents a lifetime of development and discovery.
Recently, Doc has experienced some medical issues that inspired M3 to celebrate his life through the Open Arms exhibit.
“I want Doc to feel honored for his creative life’s work. Now is the time for him to shine,” M3 said.
“Doc has titled all our shows and my works of art, including this show,” she added. “We welcome all with open arms to see the work and be inspired to celebrate your own history, try new things and keep dreaming.”
Open Arms Exhibition is open for viewing Tuesday- Sunday 3-8pm thru March 22, 2025 & by appointment at Ambience Dore, 831 S. Main Street, Burbank, CA 91506.

The Water Crisis Behind LA’s Fire Disaster: A Legacy of Outdated Infrastructure
SMa.r.t.
Santa Monica Architects for a Responsible Tomorrow
A firefighter filling a trash can with pool water during the devastating 2025 Los Angeles fires tells a story more complex than mere water shortage. The crisis exposed how aging infrastructure, designed for a different era, has left one of America’s most fire-prone cities vulnerable to modern mega-fires.
Within 15 hours of the Palisades fire’s start, three million-gallon tankers meant to supply fire hydrants ran dry, but the problem wasn’t lack of water. The State Water Project held record reserves, but the city’s pump-and-storage system, designed to fight fires at several homes simultaneously, proved woefully inadequate for a blaze that would consume hundreds of structures within hours.
The crisis revealed a startling reality: 24% of hydrants within the Palisades fire perimeter were outdated “red-top” models from the 1940s, featuring single 2.5-inch outlets that the American Water Works Association no longer considers suitable for normal fire protection. Modern hydrants offer larger 4-inch outlets and multiple connection points, providing greater water volume and operational flexibility that firefighters prefer over high pressure when battling blazes. The situation proved particularly critical during the fire’s first 30 minutes when crews had their best chance to
contain it. In the crucial area where flames first threatened homes near Bienveneda Avenue, firefighters encountered these obsolete hydrants precisely where they needed maximum water delivery capability. The fire’s exponential growth in these early moments (at a rate of running a four-minute mile) – expanding to 700 acres within three hours – raises questions about whether modern hydrants might have made a difference.
High-velocity Santa Ana winds not only accelerated the fire’s spread but grounded water-dropping helicopters, eliminating crucial aerial support. In 24 24-hour timeframe, there were over 5,500 homes burned with over 1,200 other structures in the Palisades and over 6,000 homes burned with over 3,200 other structures in Altadena. The intense heat at these locations triggered a cascade of infrastructure failures, from power outages to damaged water pipes. Making matters worse, the Santa Ynez Reservoir, which normally would have provided pressure to resupply storage tanks in the Palisades, had been emptied for maintenance a year before the fires began.
The aftermath revealed longer-term vulnerabilities, with multiple zip codes placed under boil water notices due to ash and debris contamination during low-pressure periods. The city now faces massive infrastructure challenges: repairing damaged water lines, sewer lines, high power transmission lines, and roadways, replacing outdated hydrants, widening streets for fire truck access, installing sloped curbs for evacuation
routes, burying utility lines to prevent future fire triggers, and updating the regional communication fire-alert systems.
Los Angeles County has responded with a $32.2 million Fire Recovery Fund for immediate relief for affected homeowners, renters, workers, small businesses, and nonprofits while awaiting longer-term state and federal resources, while Governor Newsom has proposed $2.5 billion in emergency funding. The EPA and Army Corps of Engineers have committed to expedited debris removal by this time next year. However, these measures address symptoms rather than the core problem: an urban water system never designed to fight modern megafires.
The county has also called for a comprehensive performance review of its water systems, focusing on Los Angeles County Waterworks District 29, which serves Malibu and unincorporated areas of the Santa Monica Mountains. This investigation will examine system performance during the fires, identify necessary improvements, and analyze the administrative, environmental, and permitting challenges that may have delayed crucial infrastructure for planned water system project improvements.
This crisis demands a fundamental reimagining of urban wildfire defense. As climate change brings longer, more intense fire seasons, Los Angeles must upgrade its infrastructure not just to current standards but to meet future challenges. The lessons learned from this disaster must inform
a new generation of dire need to revise safety requirements that better protect our communities from the intensifying threat of climate-driven mega-fires, starting with the basic building blocks of fire protection – our hydrants and water delivery systems.
