Epic traffic fears disappear as LA freeway reopens

LOS ANGELES The event that many feared would be the “Carmageddon” of epic traffic jams cruised calmly to a finish Sunday, with bridge work on the Los Angeles roadway completed nearly a full day ahead of schedule and officials reopening a 10-mile stretch of the busy freeway.

Drivers honked their horns and waved from car windows as traffic started moving in all 10 lanes of Interstate 405 just after noon for the first time since being shut down at midnight Friday.

There were no major problems since the freeway was closed, and the biggest worry of all — that the work would spill into the area’s always rough Monday morning commute, was set aside.

L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa praised contractors for working so quickly and thanked city residents for heeding calls to NO WORRIES: SEE CARMAGEDDON PAGE 7 Daniel Archuleta news@smdp.com

Navy to pay Santa Monica a visit for first time in almost two decades

It takes a village

BY ASHLEY ARCHIBALD Daily Press Staff Writer

SM PIER Hey there, sailor.

Special to the Daily Press

For the first time in almost two decades, Santa Monica will take part in a week-long celebration of the men in white when 4,400 active duty sailors descend on Los Angeles County for a schedule of public relations events and well-deserved R&R. Between 200 and 300 members of the crew of USS Abraham Lincoln will disembark in Long Beach and, on Sunday, July 31, spend a day in Santa Monica.

The ship returned to its home base in Everett, Wash. after a six-month deployment in the Persian Gulf before coming to Southern California, Chief Anthony Briggs, spokesperson for the Navy, wrote in an email.

The visit is part of Navy Week, an annual event that usually includes a single ship of active-duty sailors fresh off of a tour of duty.

It comes at the request of City Councilman Bob Holbrook, who specifically

DOWNTOWN Ana Jara has dedicated the better part of her adult life to mentoring Santa Monica youth; now, she’s asking her community to help her realize her dreams.

Jara, 31, was recently accepted to George Washington University and plans to pursue a master’s degree in public policy. As a woman dedicated to shaping the lives of underprivileged, disenfranchised kids, she hopes to use her institutional knowledge to affect change in City Hall, empowering youth and giving them direction.

Yet, GWU is historically one of the most expensive universities in the country, and as someone who dedicates a great portion of her life to nonprofit work, Jara racked her brains about raising funds.

With the support of fellow community activists, Jara’s family and friends are putting

BLOCKBUSTER: Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter and Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort in Warner Bros. Pictures’ fantasy adventure ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows‚ Part 2.

‘Potter’ takes down Batman with $168.6M weekend

BY DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES The boy wizard has vanquished the dark knight and a band of pirates with a record-setting magic act at both the domestic and international box office.

Warner Bros. estimates that “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” took in $168.6 million domestically from Friday to Sunday. That beats the previous best opening weekend of $158.4 million, also held by Warner Bros. for 2008’s Batman blockbuster “The Dark Knight.”

Overseas, the film added $307 million in 59 countries since it began rolling out Wednesday, topping the previous best international debut of $260.4 million set in May by Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.”

International results for “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” included record openings in Great Britain at $36.6 million and Australia at $26.7 million, according to Warner Bros.

Worldwide, “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” topped $475 million in a matter of days, putting it on course to become the franchise’s first billion-dollar worldwide hit.

“This will be the biggest ‘Harry Potter’ by far,” said Dan Fellman, head of domestic distribution at Warner Bros. “A billion dollars is definitely going to happen.”

The current franchise high is $974.8 million worldwide for the first film, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” 10 years ago.

“Deathly Hallows: Part 2” does have the advantage of 3-D screenings, which cost a few dollars more than 2-D shows. Because of the higher 3-D price, plus regular inflation, “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” sold fewer tickets but took in more money than “The Dark Knight” over opening weekend.

Overall domestic revenue for the weekend totaled $263 million, a record for a nonholiday weekend, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.

The “Harry Potter” finale also set a record for best opening day domestically Friday with $92.1 million, nearly $20 million ahead of the previous high for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” two years ago.

Other records for “Deathly Hallows: Part 2": best domestic gross for debut midnight shows at $43.5 million, topping the $30 million for last year’s “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse"; best domestic opening in hugescreen IMAX theaters with $15.5 million, surpassing the $12.2 million for last year’s “Alice in Wonderland"; and best worldwide IMAX debut with $23.5 million, beating the $20.4 million for “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” two weeks ago.

“Break away from the chain, and enjoy some real food.”

said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “The 3-D component, plus the IMAX, plus it being the last ‘Harry Potter,’ it was just this convergence of things that created this incredible record.”

Paramount’s third “Transformers” blockbuster, which had been No. 1 the previous two weekends, slipped to second-place with $21.3 million domestically. It remains the year’s top domestic hit with $302.8 million.

The latest “Transformers” added $39 million overseas, bringing its international haul to $460 million and worldwide total to $762.8 million. Among this year’s releases, that’s second only to “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” at $1.03 billion.

The weekend’s other new wide release, Disney’s animated family flick “Winnie the Pooh,” got swamped by “Harry Potter” mania. A return to the hand-drawn animation style of earlier adaptations of A.A. Milne’s beloved storybook characters, “Winnie the Pooh” pulled in just $8 million domestically, finishing at No. 6.

“Deathly Hallows: Part 2” is the eighth and final film adapted from J.K. Rowling’s seven novels about the young wizard’s indoctrination into a secret world of sorcery and his epic battles with evil conjurer Voldemort.

Cast more than a decade ago at ages 10

and 11 as Harry and his pals Hermione and Ron, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint became instant celebrities.

They grew up on screen, maturing from inexperienced children to adult actors whose earnest performances contributed to glowing reviews from critics for the finale.

The three now are moving on to adult roles, including Radcliffe’s stint on Broadway in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.”

“It’s just a great way to exit, with the class and style that J.K. Rowling wrote into these stories,” Fellman said. “It comes to an end, as all goods thing do. When you have the opportunity to be a part of that, to work on all eight movies over 10 years, to see the kids, meeting them for the first time when they’re 10 and 11, and just now going to see Daniel Radcliffe at 22 years old in ‘How to Succeed in Business’ on Broadway. There’s a bittersweet part of it.”

The first “Harry Potter” film shown in 3D, “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” continued a downward trend for domestic revenues derived from the 3-D format.

Some earlier hits took in 70 percent or more of their domestic cash from 3-D shows. But “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” did just 43 percent of its domestic business in 3-D, with most fans choosing cheaper 2-D tickets.

Keep the freeway closed Editor:

Just wondering if C.R.A.A.P. (Concerned Residents Against Airport Pollution), and the L.A. City Council, has requested an environmental analysis of air quality along the 405 while it is shut down, much as they did while SMO was closed for runway repairs? I guess we would all be amazed to find, with no vehicles traveling the freeway, there will be less air pollution. And I suppose we would be equally shocked to find that there was less noise pollution as well. Just think, closure no doubt also results in less accidents, less road rage, and provides a ready conduit for laying tracks for a rapid, quiet, non-air polluting, electric transit system, and even leaves plenty of parking area for those that drive to each station. Get on board C.R.A.A.P. and support closure of all the urban freeways, it is the answer to improving our environment and quality of life.

Bob Taylor Santa Monica

Bicycles acrimony Editor:

Why is there all this animosity towards bicyclists?

Most of us ride to stay fit and healthy, reduce our gasoline costs, protect the air quality and mainly enjoy the benefits of an unhurried beach community with our friends and family. It’s a beautiful way to travel around town. Very few of us are renegade terrorists on two wheels, Kamikazes, scofflaws and criminal threats to public safety. Actually we’re fairly defenseless against automobiles and only fools challenge the big wheels on the road. Please keep things in perspective.

Trio of developments adds more nastiness

Kevin Herrera editor@smdp.com

MANAGING EDITOR Daniel Archuleta daniela@smdp.com

STAFF WRITER Ashley Archibald ashley@smdp.com

FOR SOME TIME I’VE BEEN WRITING

about all the major developments in the pipeline. Six major Mid-City projects are on the verge of becoming reality over the next few months.

Separately, they seem like fairly well thought out developments. But, as a whole, they’ll completely transform a couple of quiet blocks in the eastern Mid-City area into a major commercial center. Supporters say, “It’s about jobs and housing.” Detractors bemoan huge increases in traffic and congestion (as if Olympic Boulevard isn’t already a rush-hour parking lot).

Last September, the City Council approved a new 160,000-square-foot corporate headquarters for Agensys, Inc. at 1800 Stewart St. However, they rejected in March a flawed 960,000-square-foot Bergamot Transit Village development proposal from Texas developer Hines. Hines’ re-imagining of their project for the Paper Mate site at Olympic, Stewart and 26th Street could be back to the City Council in a few months.

Tuesday, council reviewed a proposal for the five floor, mixed-use Roberts Business Center at 2848-2912 Colorado Ave. — 250,000 square feet of “creative office space” on 2.8 acres. The project would consist of studio and post production space, 150 to 170 housing units, a private gym and about 530 spaces of subterranean parking.

Directly west, Colorado Creative Studios or Lionsgate (named after the entertainment firm that plans to lease the space as a corporate headquarters) is a proposed four floor, 192,000-square-foot “creative office complex” with three levels of subterranean parking for 640 vehicles and 64 bicycles on 1.76 acres at 2834 Colorado Ave. It will be before council on July 26.

Both projects will feature multiple structures and meet “sustainable” construction/operation requirements.

They’ll replace a number of small 1940s and 1950s era industrial shops. I’m already thinking I’d rather have the neighborhood serving, mom and pop repair shops.

The third major project is the adjacent Village Trailer Park at 2930 Colorado Ave. Developer Marc Luzzatto has suggested a similar, mixed-use complex for his 3.85 acre site to include housing (some of which would be made available to current residents of the site’s decrepit mobile home park), offices, “creative studio space,” neighborhood retail uses and 469 spaces of underground parking.

The long-in-the-works development (mainly due to relocation concerns for the site’s elderly and low-income residents) will also be before council in the upcoming months with an updated plan.

The three developers promise a smorgasbord of “community benefits” such as neighborhood-oriented retail space, money for beautifying Expo light rail stops, transportation demand management programs, bicycle amenities, community rooms and open

public plazas.

For example, “the public” rarely use park or open space on private property. Just look at the grounds at the Yahoo! Center or Water Garden. They’re almost always empty. Pray tell, what “public” does this benefit?

Two new streets would be created to facilitate bicycle, pedestrian and vehicular circulation between the Bergamot Expo stop, the projects themselves and surrounding residential neighborhoods.

Despite promises of being environmentally friendly, these developments will still generate thousands of additional vehicle trips and irreparable congestion that will be felt far from the Mid-City. Try as far north as Wilshire Boulevard to as far south as the Venice border. And, beyond.

We’re not finished, yet. Paseo Nebraska is a proposed 356,793 square foot, mixed-use, “creative office” and residential development on 3.26 acres at 3025 Olympic Blvd. — between Berkeley and Stanford streets and Nebraska Avenue. It’ll consist of retail and creative space, 525 housing units, parking for 1,000 vehicles and a roster of “public benefits.” It’s just a couple of short blocks from Bergamot Transit Village and the Colorado trio.

Adding up the vehicle trips — Lionsgate: 1,796 net new daily car trips, according to its draft environmental impact report; Roberts Business Center: 2,100; and Village Trailer Park: 2,000. All together it’s 5,896 additional daily trips. Add Agensys, Bergamot Transit Village and Paseo Nebraska, and we’re at 10,000 to 12,000 additional daily trips — a 50 percent increase over current levels just within a few years.

Add Expo stops, Santa Monica College and New Roads School expansions plus a new multi-story hotel and, like “Showtime,” there are “no limits.”

Despite the coming Expo line, the traffic, pollution, congestion, resource demands and crowding will only get much worse. Add “public benefits” that don’t benefit the public (only political agendas) and we’re in for a royal screwing.

Maybe it’s time to say,“We’re as mad as hell, and we’re not going to take this anymore.”

State parks closure has unlikely consequences

BY JASON DEAREN Associated Press

CHINA CAMP STATE PARK, Calif. Floating in the bay just outside 85-year-old Frank Quan’s house, a replica Chinese junk named after his mother rocks in the waters where generations of Quans once caught delectable shrimp by the ton before drying, sorting and shipping them back to their ancestral homeland.

Quan and his rickety wooden shack heated by a wood stove are some of the few remnants left from one of the Chinese fishing villages that dotted the shores of San Francisco Bay in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The house and the small diner Quan runs just a few feet away are now part of China Camp State Park, one of 70 parks California plans to shut down to shave $22 million from the budget. Now Quan’s fate is also hanging in the balance while officials and parks advocates scramble to find a way to save the beloved site near San Rafael in Marin County.

“We used to pull out 3 million pounds of shrimp a year around here. One boat could bring in two tons a day,” Quan said Friday, as he walked through ramshackle wooden buildings holding some of the old shrimping equipment that has been restored as part of the fishing village’s historic renovation. “It’s hard to see this all go to hell in a lifetime.”

Quan’s story represents a dilemma that California faces in its plans to shutter sprawling, popular state parks next year: each one has a unique set of features and historic importance that will need to be handled carefully as the state pulls staff, locks bathrooms and blocks parking lots. As for China Camp, officials there say they are doing everything they can to not only save the park, but Quan’s home.

“If I have my way Frank is going to stay here,” said Danita Rodriguez, the superintendent of the Marin District for the state Department of Parks and Recreation. “I don’t think our goal is to close China Camp and move Frank out. But at the end of the day some other people make that decision, but our goal is to keep Frank here.”

If nothing is done by next July, the state will pull out park staff and greatly reduce maintenance at China Camp and 69 other of its 278 parks from beaches and groves of

coastal redwoods to Jack London’s former ranchlands. It’s an idea that’s never been executed and presents a major conundrum: most parks cannot actually be physically sealed off to the public — people will still access them, but their litter will not be collected and there will be no bathroom access. There will be no ranger on hand to enforce laws.

This has led to worries that the sites will become blighted — and as of now the state has few ideas to alleviate these concerns other than hoping people who love the parks care for them for free or pony up cash to pay for continued service.

“We have never had to close state parks, so this will be a trial and error process. Not locking the gates and letting visitors be our eyes and ears to protect the parks could be a solution.” said Clark Blanchard, a parks spokesman, in an e-mail. “If that doesn’t work, we will have to look for a Plan B.” As for Quan’s unique situation?

“There is no final plan as of yet. State Parks is working to try to find a solution,” Blanchard said.

Despite the bad news, lawmakers, parks officials and nonprofit groups are working to find a way to keep as many of the 70 parks open as possible through other methods.

The state Assembly in May unanimously approved legislation making it easier for nonprofit groups to take over operations at some parks. The bill, called AB42 and authored by Democratic Assemblyman Jared Huffman of San Rafael, is expected to help keep some parks open but is not an overall solution. It’s awaiting action by the state Senate.

Also, the California League of Parks Associations is making an effort to organize volunteers from the state’s hundreds of local parks groups to volunteer to provide some presence in the parks slated for closure.

Rodriguez said Sonoma and Marin counties are currently trying to form groups who can fundraise and oversee volunteer staff to take over parks in there.

Another idea gaining traction is corporate partnerships — already Coca-Cola, Stater Bros. Supermarkets and Farmer John have agreed to give hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep some Southern California parks open.

Officials say these corporate partnerships do not include naming rights: so don’t expect a Coca-Cola State Park anytime soon.

LESS WASTE: Reprocessing nuclear waste — practiced in France and several other countries but not in the U.S. where it was invented — involves breaking down spent nuclear fuel to recover material for use in new fuels. Proponents say it reduces the amount of nuclear waste, resulting in less highly radioactive material that needs to be stored safely. Pictured: France’s Cattenom nuclear power station.

REPROCESSING NUCLEAR WASTE TO

extract more energy from it, while expensive and controversial, is indeed to this day still practiced in France, the UK, Russia, India and Japan — but not in the United States, where it was invented. The process involves breaking down spent nuclear fuel chemically and recovering fissionable material for use in new fuels. Proponents tout the benefit of reducing the amount of nuclear waste, resulting in less highly radioactive material that needs to be stored safely.

Nuclear reprocessing was first developed in the U.S. as part of the World War II-era Manhattan Project to create the first atomic bomb. After the war, the embryonic nuclear power industry began work to reprocess its waste on a large scale to extend the useful life of uranium, a scarce resource at the time.

But commercial reprocessing attempts faltered due to technical, economic and regulatory problems. Anti-nuclear sentiment and the fear of nuclear proliferation in the 1970s led President Jimmy Carter to terminate federal support for further development of commercial reprocessing. The military did continue to reprocess nuclear waste for defense purposes, though, until the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War made continuous ramping up of our nuclear arsenal unnecessary.

More recently, George W. Bush pushed a plan, the Global Nuclear Energy Project (GNEP), to promote the use of nuclear power and subsidize the development of a new generation of “proliferation-resistant” nuclear reprocessing technologies that could be rolled out to the commercial nuclear energy sector. Federal scientists came up with promising spins on reprocessing nuclear fuel while minimizing the resulting waste. But in June of 2009 the Obama administration canceled GNEP,

citing cost concerns.

Proponents of nuclear power — and of reprocessing in particular — were far from pleased with GNEP’s axing, especially in light of Obama’s earlier decision to close Yucca Mountain as the U.S.’s future nuclear waste repository. “GNEP may have gone away, but the need to recycle spent fuel in this country is more important than ever because of the government’s stupid decision to close Yucca Mountain,” said Danny Black of the Southern Carolina Alliance, a regional economic development group, on the Ecopolitology blog. “Without Yucca Mountain, the pressure is on the industry to do more with recycling.”

But a 2007 report by the nonprofit Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IEER) would seem to justify Obama’s decision. IEER found that nuclear reprocessing would actually increase our volume of nuclear waste six fold. IEER also reported that France, which runs the world’s most efficient reprocessing operation, spends about two cents per kilowatt hour more for electricity generated from reprocessed nuclear fuel compared to that generated from fresh fuel. IEEE further reports that the costs to build the breeder plants needed to convert spent nukes into usable fuel would “create intolerable costs and risks.”

For now, U.S. nuclear plants will continue to store waste on site, with spent rods cooled in pools of water for upwards of a year and then moved into thick steel and concrete caskets. While proliferation and terrorism have long been risks associated with hosting nuclear plants on American soil, recent events in Japan underscores that even Mother Nature poses a threat. As such, advocates of reprocessing probably stand little chance of reviving plans in a political climate now so hostile to nuclear development.

CARMAGEDDON FROM PAGE 1 stay off the roads. He also gave credit to news outlets for spreading word about the closure, which had been planned to last for 53 hours.

“We couldn’t have done this without the cooperation of this city,” Villaraigosa said.

In Santa Monica streets were clear and traffic moved smoothly, said Robin Gee, public information officer for City Hall.

“Everybody is doing a good job, let’s keep it up,” Gee said Saturday when it looked as if worst fears were never going to materialize.

Residents either walked or hopped on their bicycles to run errands around town, heeding warnings by leaving their cars parked at home.

“I wish it could be like this every day,” said Alex Briggs as he took a break from biking to enjoy the breeze on Ocean Avenue.

“It’s great out here — not that many cars and plenty of room to ride. It’s kind of weird.”

Some businesses reported sluggish sales as shoppers decided to stay home and barbecue or do chores.

“It’s been pretty slow so far,” said a hair stylist at Supercuts on Wilshire Boulevard.

“We’re usually swamped on the weekends but it’s been light.”

Crews finished demolition work on the Mulholland Drive bridge at about 7 a.m., toppling two massive pillars. About 4,000 tons of concrete rubble was expected to be removed over the course of the job.

For weeks, authorities warned people that driving as usual this weekend could trigger what had been hyped as an event that could back up vehicles from the I-405 to surface streets and other freeways, causing a domino effect that could paralyze much of Los Angeles.

Signs warning drivers well in advance about the closure appeared not just near the affected freeway but all over Southern California and as far away as the San Francisco Bay Area.

But the fears of epic traffic jams dissipated with only light weekend traffic.

“It was just so nice. It took me actually less time to get to work than it would have on a normal weekend,” said Jenn Tanaguchi, a hairstylist who has to drive from downtown to her job at a salon in Brentwood.

“People were telling me that I would have to leave two hours early, that everything would be blocked out. But there were no problems.

It was such a nice ride.”

Officials said during the closure there were 65 percent fewer automobiles on freeways in the L.A. metro area, compared with normal weekend traffic.

The California Department of Transportation reopened the freeway in phases. The off-ramps were opened first, then the freeway itself, followed by connectors from other freeways and the on-ramps, the mayor said.

Demolition work previously was expected to be completed by 2 a.m. Monday, followed by cleanup and reopening of the freeway at 5 a.m., with on-ramps and connectors all reopened by an hour later.

The reopening attracted a few onlookers to a parking lot above the freeway. Albert Hill, 47, a Westwood resident, brought his threeyear-old son to take photos of the empty lanes and the first cars to return to the 405.

“This is a historic moment for me. I’ve lived here my whole life, so to see it closed down, I thought it could never happen,” Hill

said. “This Carmageddon thing was the best weekend ever in LA. There was no traffic anywhere. I couldn’t believe it. I think we should have Carmageddon every weekend.”

Project contractor Kiewit Infrastructure West could have been fined a $72,000 an hour for delay in getting the freeway reopened, according to the city’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

Instead Kiewit will receive an extra $300,000 for finishing early. The project gets to save $400,000 — even with the Kiewit bonus — since paying workers for an additional 12 hour shift would have cost $700,000.

Powerful machines with long booms hammered away at the south side of the halfcentury-old Mulholland Bridge, which was removed to allow construction of an additional freeway lane. The plan is to leave the north-side lanes standing until the south side is rebuilt.

Another closure will be required in about 11 months to demolish the rest. Officials said they were hopeful that the future shutdown would run just as smoothly as this one.

Ira Vitug, 27, who works for a mortgage company in Calabasas, is already anxious for phase two, and for the entire project to be done. “Glad it’s over and ready for the next,” she said. “Bring it on!”

The project picked up its apocalyptic name when Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky said at an early June news conference that “this doesn’t need to be a Carmageddon” if people avoided driving.

On Sunday, Yaroslavsky jokingly dismissed the phrase that took on a life of its own.

“Carmageddon, Shmarmageddon!”he declared.

“I think people in L.A. have learned that you can get along without having to take long car rides on a weekend,” the supervisor said.

The mayor agreed.

“I think everyone has realized that we can get out of our cars once in a while and survive,” Villaraigosa said.

He added that he loved hearing reports of people venturing out in their neighborhoods on foot, meeting neighbors, and making time for family dinners and barbecues.

The drumbeat of warnings about the weekend triggered an instant industry of businesses trying to capitalize. JetBlue offered special flights from Burbank in the San Fernando Valley to Long Beach, with seats for the short hop costing just $4 or $5.

Some trespassers crept onto the 405 during the shutdown. Officials report a bicyclist made it onto the road before getting escorted off by police, a man was cited for driving on the roadway, several people were found putting up a large sign, and a man was caught scaling a perimeter fence.

Many mocked the frenzied language surrounding the closure, especially on Twitter, where Hollywood’s comedians had at their hometown.

“How’s everyone coping with this terrifying apocalyptic nightmare of having to ... oh my god ... stay home with your family?!!!”

Bill Maher wrote.

Albert Brooks was more philosophical.

“If we would close the freeways every weekend,” he tweeted, “we would have a great society.”

together a fundraiser at Marisol restaurant this Saturday from 7 p.m. — 11 p.m. Guests will be charged $25 for meals that include appetizers and desserts, and 100 percent of the proceeds will go toward Jara’s education.

They’re hoping to raise $10,000.

“I realized it takes a village,” Jara said, referring the support she needs to pursue her education.

Yet, subconsciously, Jara was pulling inspiration from the guiding principle of her life: “It takes a village to raise a child.”

Humanitarian aspirations were drilled into Jara from a young age.

“I’m the eldest of four in a huge, rambunctious Latino family,” she said, adding that working with kids was something she naturally fell into.

As a child, she was often coordinating her siblings, organizing activities and putting on dances during family gatherings.

Though Jara believes caretaking is in her roots, her goals to work with at-risk youth did not take shape until she and her siblings began visiting the local Boys and Girls Club after school.

After going through leadership training programs and being named the first “Female Youth of the Year,” the club offered Jara a job when she was only 16.

Throughout high school, Jara continued her humanitarian efforts when she founded a youth ministry group and volunteered at the Pico Youth & Family Center. She also serves on a number of government committees, including the Pico Neighborhood Association and the board of the Santa Monicans for Renters’ Rights Steering Committee.

Yolanda de Cordova, Jara’s fellow volunteer at the Pico Youth & Family Center, was quick to note Jara’s giving spirit.

“The passion she has for all youth is

unconditional, I know that,” de Cordova said. “She’s not in this for the money, she does this because she cares.”

Jara keeps in touch with many of the kids she’s worked with in the past, recognizing that long-term investment is what truly makes a difference in their lives. She remembers, when she was a kid, she could “smell the difference” between volunteers who were in it for the short-term and those who truly cared about her and her future.

“I grew up in the Pico Neighborhood and I remember thinking, ‘The city doesn’t care about me, the police doesn’t care about me,’” Jara said. “Part of our jobs as adults is to break through this stereotype and show people in the community we care.”

Lindsey Haley, friend of the Jara family, said she sees traces of her mother, Ana Jara Sr., in Jara.

“Ana Sr. has been on several boards and commissions for the city so Ana comes from an activist background,” Haley said.

Jara cites her mother as a constant inspiration.

“My mom was a great role model; she always works collaboratively with people and is willing to help. That’s something I grew up with,” she said.

Jara is certain to miss her mom come August when classes start, as she has never been away from home for more than six weeks.

Saturday morning chilaquiles and dinners at the Bolivar Cafe & Gallery are just a few touches from home Jara will do without in the nation’s capital.

“I know it’s going to be a huge loss for me personally, I grew up with this community and a nest of people around me, but I also trust I have the ability to go and try new things,” Jara said.

She plans to return to Santa Monica after earning her degree. news@smdp.com

NAVY FROM PAGE 1 requested the presence of the seamen after seeing a similar event hosted in Malibu in June.

“Quite by accident, I had a conversation with a member of the Navy League,” Holbrook told fellow elected officials at the July 12 council meeting, and requested that $6,000 of contingency funding go to cover direct costs to City Hall and the Pier Restoration Corporation.

Holbrook raised the matter one time before during the budget study sessions at the end of May to gauge the council’s interest in co-producing an event similar to Malibu’s Navy Day, which took place in early June.

The USS John Paul Jones docked offshore and 270 sailors disembarked for a day of revelry in the beachside town.

Holbrook wanted a chance to offer up Santa Monica-style hospitality, and reached out to Grant Ivey, president of the local chapter of the Navy League of the United States, an all-volunteer group that’s scheduling the week’s worth of events.

According to Jim Harris, deputy director of the Pier Restoration Corporation and pier historian, the Navy used to visit Santa Monica on a regular basis, when the pier had the infrastructure for ships to dock.

After a destructive storm in the 1980s that laid waste to one-third of the pier, it was rebuilt, but without the capacity to invite boats and shuttle sailors from pier to vessel, Harris said.

The offer to return to Santa Monica was much appreciated, Ivey said.

In the past, Navy Week consisted of one ship’s worth of sailors touring the county.

This year is different.

Navy officials informed Ivey that instead of the usual one, four ships would be docking at Long Beach, and they would need to

find things to do for quadruple the number of troops, all itching for a chance to get off the boat and enjoy a summery week in Los Angeles.

“He called me up and said, ‘How do we do this?’” Ivey said. “I said, ‘Funny that you ask. We have 4,400 sailors in San Pedro and we’d like to show them L.A.’” Ivey found out about the change between two and three months ago. He and fellow volunteers began to scramble to put together events spread throughout the geographic region that could accommodate the sheer number of sailors that would be arriving in July.

They put together public tours of the ships, speaking engagements, volunteer opportunities feeding the homeless and fun days in theme parks like Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm.

Santa Monica will be the capstone on the week for the members of the USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft carrier capable of launching as many as four aircraft every minute.

Sailors will kick off their stay with a rock concert on the Santa Monica Pier, performed by the Navy’s rock band, The Destroyers. During the concert, the official Navy parachute team, the Leapfrogs, will land in the middle of the pier parking lot, Harris said.

They will then have free time in the town, and leave that evening.

After they leave Santa Monica, the sailors will return to their home ports to continue their maintenance and training cycles to prepare for their next scheduled deployment or other contingency operations they might be asked to complete, Briggs wrote.

To rock out with The Destroyers, stop by the pier at 10 a.m. on Sunday, July 31. The Leapfrogs will make their entrance approximately halfway through, Ivey said. ashley@smdp.com

belted his first big league home run and finished with three RBIs, almost single-handedly leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday.

Hudson (10-5) struck out three and walked none in his second complete game of the season. The right-hander also earned his first win since he beat Kansas City on June 23 and improved to 9-1 in 16 starts after beginning the season 0-4.

Hudson connected against Ted Lilly (610) in the sixth, then hit a two-out, two-run single in the seventh to make it 4-1. The Dodgers had intentionally walked Xavier Nady to get to Hudson, whose single between shortstop and third raised his season batting average to .359.

Hudson retired his first nine batters and his last eight, striking out Aaron Miles to end the game. Hudson's first career complete game came on June 17 against the Chicago White Sox, who traded the Virginia native to Arizona last year.

The Diamondbacks took two of three in the series.

Lilly struck out five of six batters in one stretch, but the exception was Ryan Roberts' 12th homer that put Arizona up 1-0 in the second.

Hudson's line drive just cleared the fence in left in the sixth, and the Dodgers responded in the seventh.

Matt Kemp led off with a single and Los Angeles manager Don Mattingly then called for the hit and run with James Loney at the plate. Loney hit a soft line drive off the glove of shortstop Stephen Drew as he charged toward second, putting runners at first and third with one out.

Hudson nearly escaped the jam after Juan Uribe fouled out to first. But Kemp scored on a wild pitch before Rod Barajas grounded out to first to end the inning.

Arizona put it away with two runs in the seventh, loading the bases with the help of two intentional walks. After Chris Young singled and was sacrificed to second by Stephen Drew, Roberts was given a free pass by Lilly and Miguel Montero grounded out to put runners at second and third.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF A DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE 710 WILSHIRE BOULEVARD PROJECT OFFICIAL NOTICE is hereby given on the completion and availability of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) for the proposed 710 Wilshire Boulevard project located in the City of Santa Monica.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project includes two potential development scenarios. The first scenario (“Development Scenario 1”) would involve construction of a 285-room hotel and 16,421 square foot (sf) retail/restaurant project, including adaptive reuse of an existing Landmark building, and a separate mixed use 24-unit residential building with 1,600 sf of ground floor retail on a separate lot across 7th Court alley with frontage on Lincoln Boulevard. The hotel and retail/restaurant project would occupy the lots currently addressed as 710 Wilshire Boulevard, 718 Wilshire Boulevard and 12131233 7th Street. The mixed use building would occupy an adjacent lot addressed as 1218 Lincoln Boulevard. The second scenario (“Development Scenario 2”) would involve the development of the same hotel and retail/restaurant project components of the first scenario, but would not include the development of the mixed use residential building.

Because the proposed project exceeds several zoning ordinance standards such as floor area ratio, building height, and a request for parking reduction, a Development Agreement between the City and the applicant is required, which would establish development standards and the type and mix of allowable land uses.

ANTICIPATED SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS: The Draft EIR analyzed potential environmental impacts associated with the project including: Aesthetics/Shade Shadow, Air Quality, Construction Effects, Geology/Soils, Greenhouse Gas Effects, Historic Resources, Hazards/Hazardous Materials, Land Use, Neighborhood Effects, Noise, and Transportation/Traffic. The Draft EIR determined that implementation of the project will result in the following significant and unavoidable impacts: Construction Effects (Vibration) Transportation/Traffic PUBLIC REVIEW PERIOD: A 45-day public review period will be provided for all interested persons to submit comments on the adequacy of the Draft EIR. The comment period will start on July 18, 2011 and end at 5:30 p.m. on September 1, 2011. Written comments should be sent to: Jing Yeo City Planning Division 1685 Main Street, Room 212 Santa Monica, CA 90401 Jing.Yeo@smgov.net Fax: (310) 458-3380 AVAILABILITY OF ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: The Draft EIR and background materials may be viewed online at http://www01.smgov.net/planning/planningcomm/environmentalreports.html or in person at the following locations: City Planning Division public counter, Room 111, 1685 Main Street, Santa Monica, CA Office of the City Clerk, Room 102,1685 Main Street, Santa Monica, CA Santa Monica Main Library, 601 Santa Monica Blvd., Santa Monica, CA Santa Monica Montana Branch Library, 1704 Montana Ave, Santa Monica, CA

By John Forgetta & L.A. Rose

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ Zero in on what you want. It is too easy to forget plans because of everything that is going on around you. Reach out for an expert, or get more information. You cannot have too much knowledge. Your instincts serve you well. Tonight: Where people are.

★★★★★ If you are to get anything done, your imagination needs to be harnessed. You have many great ideas. Jot them down, and you will be able to accomplish much more. A discussion with a child could be delightful. Tonight: Just be yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★ A boss or an authority figure could be pushing, and you just might say "enough." A partner has a better sense than you as to how to handle this person. A friend comes through for you in a big way. Tonight: Burning the midnight oil.

★★★ Stay centered, and you will cruise through a money matter. The problem is that you cannot get a handle on the situation, as it is constantly transforming. Your energy is high; breeze through what must be done. Tonight: At home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ People, quite a few of them, could impact your plans and day. You might have several meetings to attend, one after the other. A partner tends to be controlling and difficult.

Reach out for someone at a distance. Tonight: Put some music on.

★★★★★ Keep communication flowing. You have changed in the past year, and people are trying to adjust, whether it is conscious or not.

Call on your patience, and be ready to reiterate a concept in many different ways. Tonight: Hanging out with a friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ One-on-one relating becomes increasingly important. Your effort -- whether at work or within your home -- counts. In some fashion, you are trying to please a key person. Worry less; everything is changeable. Tonight: Walk in someone else's shoes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★★ Defer to others, knowing that it is not your place or the time to make a decision. Others always want the laurels for leadership and choices. Let them take the responsibility of choice as well. Tonight: Share your time with a partner.

Happy birthday

★★★ Be aware of a need to stay connected to your desires yet at the same time not overdo it.

Listen to your inner voice. Be aware of a risky investment. Say neither "yes" nor "no." Do needed research. Tonight: Your treat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ Stay on top of what is happening.

Friends and/or associates give you heavy feedback. Absorb the information, understanding you will know when it is time to make the right decision. Communicate your thoughts and feelings if you want to have an impact. Tonight: Whatever puts a smile on your face.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: ★★★★★Dynamic ★★ So-So ★★★★ Positive ★ Difficult ★★★ Average

This year, you have a tendency to dream about what could be and then want to make it a reality. How you get your ideas doesn't make a difference. Others appreciate your creativity and willingness to soul-search. A foreigner or someone quite unique could play a significant role. If you are single, you could meet someone very different and exciting. Try it! You might like it. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from not triggering as much and staying centered. A joint class or workshop brings you closer. PISCES understands you.

GETTING STARTED

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S PUZZLE

There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing.

Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

TM

– Arithmo Crossmath – Reclaim Your Brain • Insert the given numbers in the empty squares so when they are calculated in threes from left to right and top to bottom they satisfy the demands in the shaded boxes both horizontally and vertically.

• Each empty square dictates the math operation that must be performed to meet the demands.

• Remember to multiply or divide before you add or subtract.

■ On May 21, Jesse Robinson either established or tied the unofficial world record for unluckiest underage drinker of all time when he was booked into the Hamilton County, Ohio, jail for underage consumption. According to booking records, Robinson's date of birth is May 22, 1990.

■ "Common sense lost its voice on this one," concluded a Wethersfield, Conn., city councilman, lamenting the local school board's having spent at least $630,000 to "resolve" an ethics complaint against the board's chairwoman -- all because her son had improperly taken a $400 high school course for free. The town's ethics board conducted more than 60 hours of hearings over 11 months, incurring $407,000 in legal expenses, and finally voted, 3-2, to uphold the complaint.

(However, the ethics board ordered only that the chairwoman reimburse the $400; the school board then voted to pay all her legal expenses.)

■ "Science does not trump the testimony of individuals," said Detroit prosecutor Marilyn Eisenbraun, explaining her office's decision in April to disregard DNA evidence that the University of Michigan's Innocence Clinic said exonerates Karl Vinson, 56, who has spent 25 years in prison for rape. Despite the science, Eisenbraun said she had to stick with eyewitness identification by the victim. Although Vinson has been eligible for release for 15 years, the Parole Board keeps turning him down -because he refuses to acknowledge guilt. (Update: In July, the Michigan Court of Appeals declined to order either Vinson's release or a new trial, but did grant him an extraordinary right to appeal, based on the new evidence.)
