Aviation leasing rules to return in July MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor

When the Santa Monica Airport Commission discussed a set of leasing guidelines designed to clarify rules for leasing space to aviation businesses last week, airport critics and supporters had some

common ground: neither side likes the proposed rules. Aviation advocates said the rules discriminate against businesses catering to pilots and violate requirements for maintaining operations at the airport. Airport critics said the rules provide the airport director with too much

authority to waive requirements and do too little to increase safety for nearby residents. The new standards include insurance rules, security requirements, application procedures, general operator requirements and specialized rules for individual types of businesses. Commercial

service providers such as fixed base operators (FBO), aircraft charter/air taxis, flight training schools, aircraft maintenance and repair stations, self-service fuel pumps, aircraft management services, air transportation arrangers, SEE AIRPORT PAGE 6

According to Captain Patrick Nulty, with the Santa Monica Fire Department (SMFD), firefighters received the call at about 10:30 a.m. and responded within 5 minutes 47 seconds.

A stuffy nose. Itchy skin. Congestion that leads to ear infections. Justin Gordon knew all the allergy symptoms to look out for when he adopted his dog, Benni. When he decided to become a pet parent, the NOMA resident carefully chose a hypoallergenic breed to avoid the unpleasantness he’d felt around other people’s dogs and cats. A mini Goldendoodle seemed like the perfect pet for his home. What he didn’t realize at the time was that she could be allergic to him. “I know because we had her tested,� Gordon said. “She’s allergic to weeds and grass, cockroaches and human dander. She’s allergic to us more than we’re allergic to her!� Benni’s allergies are just one of the reasons Gordon’s friends consider her a high-maintenance dog. For months, it seemed every time they call him, Gordon was busy chauffeuring Benni to daycare, the groomer or the vet. Once they got to the vet, Gordon would have an allergic reaction himself to the other pets in the waiting room. Thus, the frequent doctor visits became stressful for both Gordon and his new best friend. A friend finally stepped in and told Gordon about a new business that connects pet owners with veterinarians who make house calls. Vetted was started by local entrepreneurs Karan Aneja and Ali Shahid who wanted to change the way vets treat pets. “We don’t want to focus on what we need to sell the client. We

SAVANNAH BURCHAM Special to the Daily Press

The Statewide District Primary Election was last week but with the main event approaching in November pundits continue to see the youth vote as a key indicator of political success. However, perennial questions remain about the reliability of young voters and challenges in engaging those that have traditionally remained outside the political system. Voter turnout drops across the country during non-presidential elections, and California is no different according to the Public Policy Institute of California. The group said young people have been voting at slightly higher rates in presidential elections but at much lower rates in midterms than voters of the same age did two decades ago. Jon Katz, President of the Santa Monica Democratic Club, said the trend remains true in Santa Monica. “Considering that most people who vote are about sixty, pretty SEE VOTE PAGE 4
