Madame Wu, Famed Santa Monica Restaurateur, Dies at 106

Restaurateur begind Madame Wu’s Garden passes away September 19

By Dolores Quintana

Sylvia Wu, born Sylvia Cheng, was much better known as restauranteur Madame Wu to her customers at her restaurant Madame Wu’s Garden, located in Santa Monica on Wilshire Boulevard. She died at the age of 106 on September 19, as reported by The Associated Press.

Wu opened her famed Hollywood hotspot Madame Wu’s Garden in 1959 which was an industry favorite for four decades. The restaurant’s decor was that of a pagoda with a koi fountain, jade statues and a waterfall and Wu would wear a long silk gown as she took to-go orders on the phone and greeted her famous guests according to AP.

The reason that Wu became a restaurant owner was that she was appalled by the prevalence of restaurants that served fake Asian cuisine. Indeed, the popularity of restaurants that served chop suey really upset her. Wu said to USA Today, as quoted by AP, “Chop suey everywhere. All you see are

chop suey houses.”

At Madam Wu’s Garden, more traditional Asian dishes were served. According to the Los Angeles Times, Mae West’s favorite was the cold melon soup, Paul Newman and Gregory Peck liked the crab puffs and shrimp toast and Princess Grace was a fan of the restaurant’s Peking Duck.

Wu was born on Oct. 24, 1915, her family lived in Jiujiang, near Shangai and Wu learned to cook by observing the maids who cooked for her family according to AP. She took an ocean liner during World War II to the United States. She said, as quoted by “I don’t know how I had the courage. I had no family in America. The trip took 40 days, and because of the war there was a blackout all the way.”

She met and married chemist King Yan Wu and were married for 67 years. King Yan Wu died in 2011. They are survived by two sons and many grandchildren. Wu worked for charitable causes and focused on working to help the City of Hope cancer center after their daughter Loretta died of cancer.

Talk show host and media mogul Merv Griffin said of Sylvia Wu, as quoted by AP, “Everybody in this town knows Madame Wu. One of the dearest, sweetest, most elegant women I’ve ever known.”

Man Charged for Setting Fires Behind Seven Santa Monica Businesses

John Dean Thomason faces seven counts of arson

By Sam Catanzaro

A man faces charges for seven counts of arson for setting fires behind several Santa Monica businesses.

On September 26, 2022, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office filed seven counts of Arson against John Dean Thomason, a 51-year-old homeless male. This comes after Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) detectives were assigned to investigate several recent arson incidents in the city.

“Detectives reviewed the reports, evidence, and several hours of video surveillance footage

and were able to link Thomason to at least seven separate incidents,” the Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) said.

According to the SMPD, on September 25, 2022, while working patrol, the detective assigned to investigate these arsons located Thomason on the 1200 block of Euclid and arrested him on the following cases:

• 08/27/22 at 5:30 PM - Fire set behind 1227 4th Street (St. Augustine Church)

• 08/27/22 at 5:33 PM - Fire set behind 1245 4th Street (St. Peter Coptic Church)

• 08/27/22 at 5:39 PM - Fire set behind 1338 5th Street (Dog PPL)

• 09/01/22 at 12:32 PM - Fire set behind

1630 12th Street (Radical Media)

• 09/01/22 at 12:33 PM - Fire set behind 1652 12th Street (Caliber Collision)

• 09/02/22 at 10:47 AM - Fire set behind 1547 6th Street

• 09/02/22 at 10:55 AM - Fire set behind

1530 5th Street (Silvercrest Senior Citizen Apt)

The case was submitted to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Bureau of Specialized Prosecution Arson and Explosives Target Crimes Division. The DA’s office filled all 7 counts against Thomason.

Thomason is currently being held in the Men’s Central Jail in Downtown Los Angeles on a 350,000 bond. He is next due to appear in court on October 19.

This marks the third time Thomason has been arrested this year. According to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department Inmate Information Center, Thomason was arrested and later released on citation on two separate occasions in June and July for misdemeanors committed. In both cases, he was arrested by officers from the LASD Transit Services Bureau

on Parkways

Westside Ladies Clean Up History in Santa Monica

Members of the Santa Monica Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) spent some time this past month cleaning a few of their historical markers in town.

One such marker is located at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel at the base of the Moreton Bay Fig and commemorates the planting of the tree by Senator John Percival Jones in 1879.

The Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) will soon begin to cite vehicles illegally parked on parkways and driveway aprons.

According to city officials, on November 1, 2022, the Traffic Services Division of the SMPD will begin to enforce Santa Monica Municipal Code section 3.12.380. This Ordinance prohibits driving or parking a vehicle on any sidewalk, parkway, or curb, other than a driveway or roadway.

In the context of the ordinance, a “parkway” refers to the portion of a street other than a roadway or a sidewalk, commonly sitting between the sidewalk and the street curb. A parkway can also be located where no curb exists between the sidewalk and the roadway,

which the City has reserved for landscaping and utilities. The Ordinance also prohibits parking on the “driveway apron,” the portion of a driveway between a property line and any curb.

Any person violating the Ordinance is subject to a parking citation with a fine in the amount of $63 per violation, according to the City.

In 1875, Jones co-founded Santa Monica with Colonel Robert S. Baker. Jones built a Victorian home overlooking the ocean, called Miramar, which translates to “view of the sea”.

“We worked closely with the Fairmont Miramar’s General Manager, Sam Jagger. The Miramar is a wonderful steward of both this amazing tree and our commemorative marker, reminding us of our local history,” said team leader Marjorie Graham.

The Santa Monica Chapter dedicated the marker in 1969 on the anniversary of the Chapter’s founding.

The Santa Monica Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, was organized on May 17, 1906, and seeks to follow the guidelines of the National DAR as a non-profit, non-political volunteer women’s service organization

Letter to Editor: Proposal to Reroute

LAX Jet Traffic Over Santa Monica

Unbeknownst to the entire Santa Monica Airport Commission, FAA plans have been actively underway since before May of 2022 to reroute a flight path for LAX jet traffic over 2,723 Santa Monica households. This will affect 719 more households than presently affected.

Currently, LAX jets fly 89 percent of the route over water and 11 percent over land at an altitude of 7,000 to 9,000 feet when flying to the JUUSE (pronounced “juice”) waypoint. An aviation waypoint is an intersection similar to a street intersection controlled by a stop light. Relocating the JUUSE waypoint as proposed will result in LAX jets flying 6 percent of the route over water and 94 percent over land. 100 percent of the land affected by relocating this “intersection” is in Santa Monica.

Santa Monica Airport protects the airspace for all of Santa Monica up to 2,600 feet. While the proposed relocation does not (yet) pierce into Santa Monica’s protected airspace, it serves as a preview of what the future holds for Santa Monica and a reminder man that this could – and still can – be avoided.

While not yet final, the proposed change is beyond the preliminary stage of evaluation. The FAA has determined it to be feasible and along the process allowed for the input of all affected stakeholders, including the City of Santa Monica. Yet Santa Monica stakeholders have provided no

input into the process. At this late stage, it may be difficult for the City to have any meaningful say.

How did the City get here? The answer is simple. The City has chosen to exclude the stakeholder group from its Airport Commission appointments that have the technical knowledge to guide timely participation in such issues. That excluded stakeholder group is active licensed airplane pilots and users of the Santa Monica Airport.

The current composition of Santa Monica’s Airport Commission consists of four commissioners who have absolutely no aviation knowledge and one other who has not been an active pilot for the past 35 years. An active airplane pilot on the commission would have had the affiliations with the regulatory agencies and knowledge of modern avionics and arrival procedures to have been able to participate in the discussion of the issue from its onset, not only providing the City and us residents with representation, but also the FAA with the relevant public interest guardrails.

Of all the City Commissions and Boards, arguably the Airport Commission requires the most technical expertise with the most substantive potential impact on us residents. This exclusion is explicable only within the context of a desire to eliminate any opposition to the closure of the airport. The reality is that technically qualified Airport Commission membership has zero impact on any potential closure of the airport. More

FRIENDS IN

important, it would have significant beneficial impact on resident quality of life for as long as the airport remains open, as this LAX rerouting issue clearly demonstrates.

Misplaced political considerations have, as usual, done a disservice to the City’s 90,000 residents. Because of this lapse, the City Council by way of its unqualified appointments to the Airport Commission have needlessly placed 719 additional Santa Monica households at risk of commercial jumbo noise. And that is just the start.

But this LAX re-routing issue brings up a second point. Santa Monica Airport creates airspace restrictions for all aircraft - including LAX traffic - which protect the residents of Santa Monica from even more noise if the airspace were unrestricted. Los Angeles is one of the busiest airspace in the country. Absent Santa Monica airport, the airspace from the ground up to 5000 feet above Santa Monica will be unrestricted. There will be no minimum altitude required nor any flight curfews. Absent the airport, Santa Monica loses its influence not only to protect its residents from changes to LAX jet routes, but also from lowerflying air traffic in transition, at all times of the day, every day, seven days a week.

By filling the Airport Commission with commissioners who lack any modern aviation knowledge, our voice has become irrelevant to LAX noise operations. Assuredly, if the airspace

above Santa Monica loses its protections should the airport close, LAX jets will undoubtedly take advantage of the open airspace and implement operational changes to save millions of dollars in fuel and flight time.

There is no substitute for doing the right thing. Santa Monica residents lose whenever that does not happen. We have been losing too much lately. There is an open vacancy on the Airport Commission. Write. Call. Speak. Insist City Council do the right thing and appoint an active pilot, user of Santa Monica Airport and someone with modern technical knowledge to the Airport Commission.

Respectfully, Eve Lopez Attorney, Pilot Santa Monica Resident Santa Monica Airport Tenant

Local Businesses Donate $400,000 to

We Are Santa Monica Fund to Support Police Cadet Program

Program to be reinstituted thanks to donation

Last week, the Santa Monica City Council approved budget appropriations for a $400,000 donation to the We Are Santa Monica Fund to support the Santa Monica Police Department Cadet Program. This donation is one of the largest contributions ever made to the We Are Santa Monica Fund, and will expand the Police Cadet Program, enhancing public safety in Santa Monica while preparing Santa Monica young adults to pursue a career in public safety. The $400,000 donation includes $100,000 donations from three Santa Monica businesses and one individual: Douglas Emmett Properties, Macerich Management, Ocean Avenue LLC/Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows, and Mr. Jeff Worthe.

Since its creation in 1967, the Police Cadet Program has employed college students with the Santa Monica Police

Department (SMPD), where they spend several years rotating among various assignments to deepen their understanding of how SMPD supports all community members through its operations, while also serving as liaisons between the Department and local youth. Upon completion of the program, many participants go on to join the ranks of law enforcement agencies, as sworn officers or in civilian positions, both locally and federally as educated and uniquely qualified public servants. The program was cut as a result of the 2020 budget cuts and, through this donation, will be reinstituted to support the futures of local youth.

“The Santa Monica Police Department Cadet Program has brought tremendous value to our community,” said Santa Monica Police Chief Ramon Batista. “Many Cadets have been raised in Santa Monica and are uniquely qualified to understand the needs of their fellow residents. This program embodies the goals of community policing,

and through this generous donation, I am eager to see the lasting, positive impacts of the Police Cadet Program on our community.”

This donation was received through the We Are Santa Monica Fund, which is a Donor Advised Fund facilitated by California Community Foundation. Previous donations to the We Are Santa Monica Fund have assisted local nonprofits in supporting cultural organizations, assisting small businesses, investing in programs that advance racial equity, and more.

“From food security to equity work to funding small businesses, I have seen firsthand the impacts the We Are Santa Monica Fund has had on our community. From food security to advancing equity to making grants to help fund small businesses and so much more, I have seen first-hand the positive impacts the We Are Santa Monica Fund has had and will continue to have on our community. We are highly appreciative

of the generosity of Douglas Emmett, Jeff Worthe, Macerich Management, and Fairmont Miramar in their investment in our community. It will truly make a difference,” said We Are Santa Monica Fund Advisory Board Chair Rhoda Weiss, Ph.D.

The Santa Monica Police Officers Association Calls on the Members of the Public Safety Reform & Oversight Commission to Do Their Jobs

Submitted by the Santa Monica Police Officers Association

On February 2, 2021, Santa Monica City Council adopted an ordinance adding Santa Monica Municipal Code Chapter 2.50 to establish a Public Safety Reform and Oversight Commission (PSROC). The Santa Monica Police Officers Association (SMPOA) worked with city staff on crafting that ordinance and the SMPOA’s member officers have worked to cooperate with and support the commission since its inception.

When the commission was formed, the SMPOA said, “The members of the Santa Monica Police Officers Association know that now is the time to reimagine our ideas about Public Safety. We don’t just want to meet this moment, we want to lead it. We want our department to be a model of the kind of meaningful reform that can be achieved

through community collaboration.”

The SMPOA stands by that statement and embraces the kind of meaningful oversight and collaboration that can come from a positive working relationship with the PSROC.

However, the SMPOA is disappointed by the lack of commitment to public service and disinterest shown by some commissioners in fulfilling their obligations as members of the PSROC.

Members of the PSROC are required to complete training conducted by the Santa Monica Police Department. This training is meant to give commissioners an understanding of department practices and procedures as well as access to the public safety professionals to whom they are providing oversight, so that they gain a better perspective and understanding as they discharge their important function as commissioners.

Despite numerous extensions on the deadline to complete this training since 2021, and the SMPD having made every accommodation

that has been asked for as it relates to safety and fair access, some commissioners have simply refused to do it. These commissioners have publicly decried the training even after accepting it as a condition of their service.

As public servants, we are deeply disappointed in this behavior and in the city staff members that have enabled it. Public service is a sacred duty and making a mockery of it to advance a personal agenda is an insult to the community.

The public deserves accountability. In a democracy, we the people are entitled to it. Accountability relies on transparency. The public needs to know that its elected, appointed, and sworn leaders are held to ethical and professional standards that result from proper training as conditions of accepting their roles in service. Negligence in completing these requirements undermines public accountability and our most basic selfgoverning principles.

The members of the SMPOA take the

ongoing training we receive on a wide variety of issues including de-escalation, ethics, and implicit bias very seriously. It’s important for us to be the best public servants we can be. The members of the PSROC need to take their training obligations equally seriously so that they can gain the perspective they need and that is required of them to fulfill the promise they made to our community. Those who don’t wish to fulfill their obligations should step aside so that the PSROC can be comprised entirely of citizens committed to public service.

Grading the School Board

Santa Monica Architects for a Responsible Tomorrow

Elections are a chance to review the performance of the governing bodies and chart a new direction when that performance has been found insufficient. In the case of our local School Board, the report card of their performance shows much room for improvement and its performance looking ahead looks even less promising. If we focus just on fiscal management (leaving aside for discussion purposes student performance and quality of instruction) we see a school district which is completely out of control.

The first fact that should color all decisions is that Santa Monica’s school population is substantially declining. My children went all the way through Santa Monica’s public schools and they received an excellent education. However, when they started in 1994 the district had about 12,000 students; today it has less than 10,000 and that lower number is being artificially inflated by the steroids of importing hundreds of out-of-district children. Meanwhile, as the enrollment is shrinking, our school district is fanatically increasing its debt burden on the our remaining future businesses, residents and their children. Just a few examples: A net zero District

After asking voters for $1.4 billlion of bonds obligated in the last two decades, with an outstanding debt of $845M (as of 6/30/20), the District still only gets about 25% of its power from roof top solar collectors. A wealthy district like ours should be entirely net zero, meaning it produces all the power it needs from local renewable resources (solar, wind, geothermal etc.). The abundant sunshine on our wide-open, lowrise campuses, and their high daytime power loads are perfect for roof top photo-voltaic solar collectors.

This energy independence would allow the district to continue operating, even after the inevitable future power brown outs. Needless to say, the District’s air-conditioning power loads are only going to massively increase with increasing global warming. Note that student performance declines measurably as classroom temperatures go up. Finally this enhanced power could help staff conveniently recharge their cars (for a fee) and help SCE deal with the escalating charging shortfall caused by the increase use of electric cars.

Energy independence

This energy independence is one of the few ways that capital improvement funds can directly reduce the District’s operating costs. By spending capital improvement

funds (bonds) on solar collectors, we can reduce the district’s growing power bills freeing up those expenditures for paying for debt servicing or for more teachers (or raises) needed for project or enquiry-based learning and the countless other worthy and necessary operating expenses.

A secondary benefit of power independence, among the widely distributed campuses (except downtown) means they can be temporarily repurposed as cooling centers during the unavoidable disastrous heat waves. Remember last year when Portland Oregon reached a deadly 116 degrees? This tells you no City, including ours, is safe from fatal heatwaves. Cooling centers would be a vital and lifesaving service for our large senior population that has proportionally little installed air-conditioning. Equally important, it would be an emergency way for the District to “repay” the City’s businesses/ residents for making them endure decades of crushing bond and tax payments.

The inability of the Board to anticipate the now normal arc of global warming shows a startling short sightedness. But the failure to learn has extended to other missed opportunities.

21st Century internet infrastructure

Our City should have its own city wide high speed broad band fiber optic internet system. Today corporations such as Spectrum and Frontier are muscling their way between the user and the high speed fiber grid already installed by our City. These corporations are charging outrageous fees which, when added to the City’s telecom taxes, are an unnecessary and increasing resident and business burden.

The School District saw this when trying to teach remotely to students during the Covid crunch, many of whom did not have the ability to participate equally, particularly the with the libraries closed. This problem also effected seniors (often on limited incomes) and really all residents of limited income. So the district should be partnering with the City or College, if they are going to pass bonds, to have a City utility wide broad band system built out from our existing public fiber grid. This would cost about $110M or about 9% of the total bonds approved since 2006. Again this would be a way for the District to “repay” the City’s residents and businesses for making them endure decades of crushing bond//tax payments. With a municipal broadband system our residents, business, schools would have inexpensive ultra-high speed internet.

But these are all forward looking initiatives, which would be normal for an “A-“ or even a “B+” district that wants to be a good progressive community member, but way beyond our District which is not looking

ahead and can’t imagine a brighter future. Perhaps we should dumb down our grading system for our District and just look at its past performance? Unfortunately, there the historical news is equally grim:

Escalating debt

First we have a runaway pension obligation overhang of $233M as of 6/30/20. This has ballooned up at a compounded 16% a year from the $110M it was in 2015 and is now almost twice the District’s entire annual operating budget. This represents a debt of about $4600 for each Santa Monica household or about $23,000 per student! But the important fact is that the School Board

has no plan to address this: absolutely no plan at all. In fact, their current situation might be even worse with the stock market turbulence reducing the financial performance of CalPERS and CalSTRS, the District’s two pension plans.

How do you think this is going to end?

This runaway pension obligation is already effecting negatively the District’s bond rating.

The District’s inability to manage costs has resulted in an ongoing requirement to submit a Fiscal Stability Plan for County approval.

All this despite the fact that the District is the recipient of unique (among California school districts) additional revenue streams provided by separate additional tax measures passed by the City’s voters.

This is not a pitch not to pay the teachers’

well earned retirement and medical benefits.

On the contrary, teachers work very hard and deserve every penny, but it’s the Board’s job to have a realistic plan to find the money. Instead, the Board seems to be more interested in distracting us with dramatic new construction and spending freely based on the residents’ generosity in approving repetitive bonds. Not surprisingly the Board’s need for distraction and the resident’s generosity leads to frightful wastes of your money.

Failure to maintain

Second, the maintenance of existing buildings is horribly neglected since it’s the least sexy of the Board’s many obligations. For example a relatively new school (John Muir/SMASH), that’s only about a quarter century old, needs to be entirely closed down for a $20M year long mold remediation which had put students and staff’s health at risk. Somehow the Board failed to detect and solve a simple waterproofing problem that got away from them. But who cares about $20M: it’s just a rounding error on a $1.43B bond issue? But it still needs to be repaid one penny at a time plus interest by you the tax payer.

The third failure is not to preserve existing buildings. The poster child for this is the tragic demolition of the central historical History building at the high school. This building could have been rehabbed and replaced into service faster and for less or equal cost but it was somehow more glamorous to build a new building next to noisy Pico. The ecological cost of such a demolition of course are completely ignored

as is the years long campus wide disruption. And naturally the new building is not a net zero building. Again best to squander money on unnecessary expenses than carefully preserve and upgrade an existing building that has had pride of place for almost 90 years. On a smaller scale the same disrespect was extended to the destroyed redwood forest mural by Jane Golden (who could have repainted it) at Olympic High School. Large scale or small scale the message is always the same wrong one: demolition is better than preservation. Every single building on the high school campus except Barnum Hall (a landmark) and possibly the English building will be replaced in a 20 year period whether it needs it or not.

Crazy Overbuilding

The final failure is the crazy proposed overbuilding, that no one wants, planned for the Roosevelt and Franklin campuses. Cramming endless construction and filling every possible open space, the densification of these campuses is again completely uncalled for since the child population will grow very slowly if at all north of Wilshire while the pleasure and utility of open space is unchanged. Again squandering of construction money is symptomatic of a District that has lost its way.

In short we have a district with a shrinking enrollment that 1) is crippled by massive pension debt with no planned exit strategy, 2) cannot or is unwilling to properly maintain its existing facilities, 3) always selects demolition instead of adaptive reuse as the preferred strategy and 4) has pie in the sky plans for destroying the remaining campuses with useless infill.

The key assumption of their (and SM College’s) business plan is that the residents and businesses are a limitless financial resource to be harvested at every opportunity. This ingrained mentality is even structured, with a tacit agreement between the District and the College that they will take turns in proposing facility bonds every two years in the hope that the residents and business will not notice. So, do not be surprised if there is a new School bond issue in 2024, again relying on the residents unquestioning educational generosity. Of course, this subtly increases the housing costs for everyone in a City already beset by very high housing costs.

What you can Do

COSMETIC

So for fiscal management the School Board has unfortunately gotten a mid term grade of “D” and when the 2022 numbers come out it will probably be downgraded to an “F”. Essentially the Board has become a real estate operation with an education sidehustle. That side-hustle is about to become much more complex with the divorce with Malibu that, with all its fiscal costs, will require even more attention to fiscal details that has been lacking in the past. Even if the residents have been previously very generous with their money, it is not free and should be very frugally and carefully managed particularly in mind of the Board’s complete lack of preparation for the future challenges of global warming.

If your child brought home a “D” report card

SMa.r.t, from page 10

with an “F” warning, you would immediately ask for drastic changes. Fortunately, you as a voter have that ability now to create those drastic changes by electing a whole new school Board.

Therefore, S.M.a.r.t. endorses the challenger candidates of: Angela Di Gaetano, Esther Hickman, Stacy Rouse, and Miles Warner for School Board. Vote for them. They will bring a vitally needed new direction for your beleaguered School District.
