SMC

Santa Monica College’sHallmark Black CollegiansProgram Turns 25

1989 marked the beginning of the endof apartheid in South Africa, and at SantaMonica College, other revolutionary thingswere happening. The idea of a special pro-gram was born, which would provide small-er classes taught by phenomenal instruc-tors with a focus on African-American cul-ture where possible. This would be backedup by a “tough love” support system toempower students while pushing them togrow. That program - called BlackCollegians - turns 25 this year.

Haley Coleman moved from Temecula toattend SMC two years ago. The self-con-fessed “shy, small-town girl” has morphedinto a confident student leader who organ-izes campus events as president of theBlack Collegians student club, and hasattended intense summer research resi-dencies at Loyola Marymount Universityand UCLA with other SMC students. Sheplans on a career in film and television, andis transferring from SMC to the Universityof Southern California this fall as a com-munication major.

“I don’t know where I would be withoutBlack Collegians,” says Coleman, recallinghow counselors would push her “just at theright time,” seeing her as a leader whenshe herself did not, and how BlackCollegians faculty leader Sherri Bradfordbecame “Mama B”: a mom away fromhome.

“We are the second family, the mentors,the mothers, the fathers, the sisters,” saysBradford. “There is a support system wait-ing for you when you get here.”

English professor Wilfred Doucetechoes Bradford’s sentiment.

“I know it’s true here at SMC fromdirect experience,” says Doucet whoteaches English classes set aside for stu-dents enrolled in the Black Collegians pro-gram. What he does in these classes is thesame thing he does in all his classes: pre-pare his students so that they will not beoverwhelmed when they transfer to a four-year college or university.

The only difference is something hecalls “cultural familiarity,” ensuring thatthe students in the program - who arelargely African-American - find themselvesrepresented in the material.

Muriel Walker Waugh is a chemistry pro-fessor at SMC who teaches BlackCollegians classes and also for the SMC

Science and Research Initiative’s STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering andMath) program. This spring, she helpedorganize a number of weekend “bootcamps” where Black Collegians and otherstudents spend all day going over mathand chemistry skills so that they can havea higher chance of succeeding in her intro-ductory general chemistry class.

“I’m an African-American female fromSouthern Shreveport, Louisiana… I had toteach myself,” says Waugh. “If I can do it,you can do it.”

Aurelia Rhymer is a Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) major at SMC majoring in biology -she wants to be a pediatrician.

“This is where I grew up,” says Rhymer.Growing up meant starting over with pre-requisites like precalculus and getting a“reality check” from professors whoreminded her that she was now a collegestudent who needed to be an adult and askfor help if it was needed.

“I grew emotionally and personally,”Rhymer adds. “I was too proud to ask forhelp but I knew that I needed to find a pro-gram to help me succeed.” That’s why shejoined Black Collegians, which led her tojoin the STEM program and become aleader in the Black Collegians club.

Rhymer was recently selected by theSMC Foundation to serve an eight-weekDale Ride Internship in Washington, D.C.this summer at the office ofCongresswoman Janice Hahn, U.S.Representative from California’s 44th con-gressional district, and also at internation-al humanitarian agency CARE(Cooperative for Assistance and ReliefEverywhere) USA.

Rhymer has some advice for fellow stu-dents who may think themselves incapableof fulfilling their dreams.

“First, don’t give up. Just because yousuck at certain things doesn’t mean youcan’t do whatever it is,” she says, offeringher struggle with and conquest of math asan example. “Everyone struggles…workharder and build a community for your-self.”

SPRING 1995, I’M WRITING AN ARTICLE formy law school’s Law Review — “Same-SexMarriage Makes It To The Altar — Who’s Got TheLicense?” I laid out a constitutional argument forwhat was then a novel idea. Hawaii was on theverge of being the first state in the nation to allowgays and lesbians to marry. It was killed by thereligious right — mostly the Mormons who havea strong foothold in Hawaii.

February 24, 2004 — I write for the SantaMonica Daily Press — One Man’s Courage CouldBecome The Majority. San Francisco MayorGavin Newsom instructed the City Clerk to beginissuing marriage licenses to the gay and lesbiancouples who apply for them. There’s a Gold Rushof men and women who flock to San FranciscoCity Hall wishing to solemnize their love.

The actions taken by then Mayor Newsom arethe spark that brought us through a rollercoasterride of emotions in California. We had gay mar-riage, then we didn’t, now we do. And we led thecountry in an awakening.

Yes other states accomplished this civil rightslandmark before us, but that was a reaction towhat was started here.

Before Newsom there was Harvey Milk. He ledprotests and demanded equality.

Before Harvey Milk there was Harry Hay andFrank Kameny. They led protests against policebrutality, and demanded equality in the 1950s.

The road has been long, convoluted andpainful.

As a budding lawyer in Santa Monica, I washopeful that one day the Supreme Court wouldrule in favor of same-sex marriage along thephilosophical lines that were drawn in the 1967ruling of Loving v. Virginia which validated themarriages of blacks and whites. But I was also liv-ing in the shadow of AIDS.

The disease that took so many young, creative,amazing gay men casts a long shadow in my life.In the late 80s, early 90s there was a common“joke” going around, “Do you know what GAYstands for? Got AIDS Yet?” That’s what being gaymeant. It was a death sentence. There was no love;there was fear, anger, disgust, and mocking of gaypeople. It fueled hurt, self recrimination, and asense of outsiderness that crept into my bonesand soul and I am still rooting it out.

It was the source of much self-hatred, for me andfor many in the gay community. So the prospectthat an outlier state like Hawaii could changeAmerica was a welcome relief; alas it was not to be.

Times change and people grow wiser. The rolethat gay men played in the media changed, fromsubject of ridicule to leading man. As more peo-ple came out, more people came out. It was anunintended effect of the stigma of AIDS, hurt andanger became the fuel for change as organizationsand service centers were built to take care of thedying, because our government could not becounted on to do so.

In 2008 when the nightmare of Proposition 8was upon us, two other men stepped up, Ted

Olsen and David Boies, considered by some to bethe top lawyers in the country, these two had facedoff in the 2000 Bush/Gore Supreme Court battlebut joined to fight for the cause of gay marriage.

As Olsen and Boies prepared to fight at theFederal level using the same strategy that Ithought of in 1995, it was with great hope that Iwatched them do battle with the advocates on theother side. Knowing that two of the greatest legalminds our country ever produced were fightingfor our rights was very comforting. I watched thedocumentary and the play that was written aboutthe Proposition 8 hearings with rapt attention. Ilistened to the audio of Supreme Court hearingsover the Internet because I knew that history wasbeing made.

It’s been a long road on the one hand, 65 yearsin the making, and I’ve often felt that the task wastoo great, the forces against us were too strong, buttoday I thank Gavin Newsom, David Boies, TedOlsen and the many, many litigants, advocates andparticipants in the battle for marriage equality.

Today I feel equal in a way that I’ve never feltbefore.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Santa Monica Forward

SANTA MONICA FORWARD IS GRATEFUL TO THEU.S. Supreme Court for their decisions in the pastweek. Thank you for legalizing gay marriage,affording equal rights to loving, committed rela-tionships recognized under the law.

Thank you for safeguarding fair housing byupholding the Fair Housing Act, and confirmingan individual’s right to locational choices in

deciding where they live regardless of their race,creed, color, orientation, gender, or identity.

Thank you for preserving affordablehealthcare for millions of Americans, forcingfewer Americans to make the trade-offbetween paying their rent and investing intheir health.

We have more to do locally, especially

regarding fair housing, but the actions theSupreme Court took last week provide afoundation for progressive democracy inaction.

AS VENICE STAKEHOLDERS OF 23 YEARS,we have noticed the increasing invasion, pol-lution and fear of SMO into our communi-ty. There are now six flight schools and thenumber and size of huge personal and cor-porate jets has increased dramatically! Theyare supposed to fly over Rose Avenue, butrarely seem to be on course ... and they arebigger than ever. We can see and hear themfrom our living room, which is way south ofrose. You’d think they could read theirinstrument panels a little better by now. Jetsshould never have been allowed in this resi-dential community, not only because therunways are 300 feet too short! And by theway, how does the FAA allow that?Meanwhile, the quality of life for all of us liv-ing around this enlarged prostate has dimin-ished. And most of Santa Monica isn’t evenaware of the problem. Why?

Because the airport is on the SE edge ofSanta Monica, the bottom edge that bordersLA. The winds blow from NW to SE ... thepattern for the pollution to travel. The flightpatterns are cleverly set up so that the major-ity of planes fly over Venice, Mar Vista andWest LA. So while Santa Monica is notdirectly affected with the problems of airand noise pollution, they are the ones votingon whether SMO should stay or leave. Weaffected by it can’t vote on it. Where’s thedemocracy? All of the pollution (air andnoise) travels into LA neighborhoods, notSM. Santa Monica: we need some compas-sion here! It’s all about the rich people hav-ing their convenience at our expense. Smallplanes and big jets. Santa Monica is proud tobe the green city ... but which green? Theproportion of parks in SM is dismally lowcompared to other comparable cities.

With the fear of crashes (four in the last1.5 years...) it becomes something like ter-rorism. Every take-off is, like, will this onemake it? Same with the stalls they do overour own house. Other residential communi-ties in America have successfully closeddown airports for all of these reasons.

We personally don’t live close to SMO ...probably two miles or so. It’s very peacefulwhere we live, except for the small planes

curving left directly over our house and cre-ating a constant interrupting buzz that ruinsour life.

And the jets are getting closer all the time.Sometimes we can’t even have a conversa-tion in our own garden! We are at the pilots’whims, 7 a.m. - 11 p.m. ... and they don’tnecessarily go by even those rules: try andprove it. Besides our own quality of life, wealso care about our neighbors closer to theairport who are affected even more directlythan us. In addition to all of this above, thesmall planes are also still allowed for somereason to use leaded fuel ... this is the sign ofa backward nation. So their exhaust isspreading lead over our precious children ontop of it all! Doesn’t everyone know by nowthis is wrong? There have been many studiesdone by UCLA and other prestigious institu-tions that show how toxic an environmentSMO is creating in our community. And letus now mention the Viagra falls: just out fora little noisy, polluting spin in his vintageaircraft, Harrison Ford couldn’t get it up.Mr. Ford, a very experienced pilot, had a fail-ure, needed to land and in a panic tried tohead back to the airport.

And he could easily have killed the doc-tors on the golf course that saved his life.Since he is so experienced, what then can weexpect from all those student pilots whoseself-indulgence we must endure? The pilotsand their Washington lobbyists are very self-righteous with their romantic notion of avi-ation, but guaranteed they and their familieswould not accept it in their own everydaylives. We’ve invited them to lunch in our gar-den, but no one has come. They are afraidthey would have to admit that their roman-ticism is indeed ruining our lives. There is amuseum at SMO to remind us all of thewonderful history of the airport in our com-munity, which we all love. That’s enough.Times have changed. Let’s make a park therenow. Helicopters can land for emergenciesand we and our kids can breathe cleaner air.A much better legacy for the airport, don’tyou think? A really green community.

CULVER CITY GYMNAST WILL REPRESENT L.A.’S WESTSIDE AT SPECIAL OLYMPICS WORLD GAMES WITH HELP FROM A DEDICATED VOLUNTEER COACH

Many Southern Californians are lookingforward to the start of the 2015 SpecialOlympics World Games, but perhaps nonemore so than 20-year-old Culver City resi-dent Caelyn Griffith. Griffith is one of only37 California athletes competing in theGames, and the only one representing theWestside chapter, which encompasses thearea from Westchester to Malibu and as fareast as West Hollywood.

Griffith, who won five gold medals at lastyear’s Southern California Special OlympicsSummer Games, will participate in four

events-artistic gymnastics, floor routine,balance beam and vault. “My favorite eventis the floor,” she says. “It’s like a performanceand you’re right there with the audience.”

To prepare for her World Games debut atUCLA’s John Wooden Center, Griffith, whohas Down syndrome, has been working onher routines several hours a week with herlongtime coach Natasha Burgos. The rela-tionship between Burgos and Griffith goesback a decade to when Caelyn was enrolledin an after-school program at BroadwayGymnastics School, where Burgos worked atthe time in addition to volunteering withSouthern California Special Olympics -Westside.

“I told her mom about the SpecialOlympics program and said I thought shewould be a great candidate,” recalls Burgos.“So many people with intellectual disabili-ties don’t have physical activity in their dailylife or the opportunity to be challenged.Gymnastics challenges them individuallyand incorporates so many elements, includ-ing balance, strength and coordination.”

Griffith’s mother, Clausine Honda, wasalready familiar with the program and hap-pily signed her daughter up. “I had a friendgrowing up whose brother was involved inSpecial Olympics,” she says. “It was such awonderful organization, I figured it wouldbe perfect for her.”

Over the years, Burgos and Caelyn’s bondhas evolved beyond that of coach and ath-lete. “I always tell her mom that Caelyn islike the second child I never had,” saysBurgos. “We go to each other’s family events.Now, 10 years later I’m still coaching her andshe’s graduated high school and gettingready to go beyond that.”

Burgos, who works full time as a specialeducation teacher for LAUSD, also volun-teers leading a social program for adultswith intellectual disabilities through the cityof Santa Monica. In addition to weekly din-ners, activities include talent shows, gamenights, movie nights and excursions tomuseums, sporting events, amusementparks and concerts.

“She’s an amazing human being,” saysHonda.

But Burgos insists she gets as much as shegives as a Special Olympics coach. “It’s one ofthe most rewarding things I’ve ever done,” shesays.“They’ve always got a smile on their faces.We always have fun. It brings you back to thatfeeling of joy and what life is all about.”

To learn more about coaching and othervolunteer opportunities for SpecialOlympics Southern California — Westsidecall (310) 458-8237. Because SpecialOlympics receives no federal aid and its pro-grams are free to all eligible athletes, it isdependent on the generosity of local resi-dents and businesses.

… I think we don’t want to attempt to crossover our authority in this matter but we dowant to try to take the actions that we can asan operator of the airport.”

Council agreed with O’Day and thestrategies are expected to come before coun-cil in July.

Also expected to come before council inJuly are a slew of airport leases, both aviationand non-aviation. Many of the non-aviationleases, like the one proposed for the RuskinTheater, the Spitfire Grill, and Typhoonrestaurant, are for three years. Several of theaviation leases will remain month-to-month.

City Hall is also cutting out the middle-man on several of the airport properties,organizing profit-sharing agreements for

tenants that are subleasing at a large profit.Unrelated to the expiring agreement is

the Southern California Metroplex, whichthe FAA is still crafting. It’s meant to governflight patterns up and down the coast.

In order to avoid conflicts between SMOand Los Angeles Airport, the FAA is propos-ing some changes to takeoff and landing pat-terns.

City officials expect that some of thechanges, like a reduction in idling time onthe runway, will be beneficial for residents.

They are concerned about a pattern thatresults in a turn around Fifth Street —between Lincoln Boulevard and the ocean— that could result in more flights over res-idential neighborhoods.

The plan is still in draft form and theFAA’s plans are not final. More details areexpected to be released later this year.

urgent attention. But again, I think it isimportant to be strategic. We have plenty ofwork already underway, including big con-struction projects like the California Inclineand the Colorado Esplanade - as well as pol-icy challenges such as the opening of theExpo Line, implementation of a bike sharefranchise, consideration of a local minimumwage and strategies for implementing thewill of the voters on the airport. I will alsoneed to recruit and select two new depart-ment heads to lead Fire and InformationTechnology. Fortunately the adoption ofboth the budget and the zoning code wereaccomplished under the able leadership ofthe Interim City Manager Elaine Polachek.

DP:Do you have an agenda for your first 100

days?

Cole:That model is more applicable to a new

elected leader than to an incoming chief exec-utive officer. My job is not to launch my ownprograms, my job is to implement the clearlyestablished policies of the City Council. I don’tanticipate major changes in the monthsahead. What I do expect is to intentionallyidentify the most important strategic priori-ties of City government - and to begin tomobilize the resources of time, funding andpublic consensus to get them accomplished.

DP:Are there any Santa Monica specific activ-

ities that you want to experience now thatyou work here?

Cole:Yes, I’m looking forward to being part of

the rich cultural and community life of

Santa Monica. I am holding off on an imme-diate move because my twin girls are in theirlast year of high school in our neighborhoodin Los Angeles. But my family and I are closeenough to partake in the kaleidoscope ofevents and activities that take place hereyear-round. Santa Monica already was oneof our favorite places to visit. Now we’ll beregulars. I will also be exploring the neigh-borhoods and housing options, looking for aplace to settle. I’ve already introduced myselfto Msgr. Torgerson at Saint Monica’sChurch. I’m looking forward to being anactive member of that vibrant parish.

DP:What are you most excited to begin work

on?

Cole:Three things. First, engaging with the

community. I relish healthy civic discoursewhere citizens both express their opinionsand actively partner with city government toimprove our city. Frankly, the tenor of debateon development issues has sometimes takenon a polarizing tenor and I hope we can lookfor common ground. Second, technology.Santa Monica is fortunate to be an epicenterof tech innovation and I want to continue thepace-setting leadership of the City in usingtechnology to deliver better, faster and moreeconomical results as well as increase trans-parency and accountability to our citizencustomers. Third, the public realm. SantaMonica has been one of the leaders of cre-ative place-making in Southern Californiasince it remade the Third Street Promenadethree decades ago. Expanding memorableand attractive public spaces is a great oppor-tunity for Santa Monica and I see that as away to improve both the quality of life andthe standard of living of residents. Beautifuland welcoming streetscapes, parks and pub-lic areas will also enhance the prosperity ofthe city as a whole.

more than 500 meals per day with just $330,which the agency augments with donationsfrom food banks, businesses, communitygroups and the public.

“It’s a basic human need, but it’s a way ofmaking a direct connection with people,”OPCC director John Maceri said of the freefood. “It’s another resource that sustains life,and it gives us an opportunity to engagewith people and encourage them to takeadvantage of the other services that are avail-able to them.”

Waiste’s company doesn’t have its ownretail storefront, so all the partnership need-ed was a sales point.

Enter the Edgemar Center, a nonprofitthat hosts theater productions and offersacting classes for adults and children.

Its managing director, AlexandraGuarnieri, said the center offers its own out-reach programs but that it hadn’t supportedanother local nonprofit group before.

“They approached us, and we thought itwas a worthy cause,” Guarnieri said of

OPCC. “It’s good to expand. It’s a greatorganization, and it’s always good to give toother outreach programs.”

She added that the candy company’sproducts will be on sale during intermissionat its shows, which have been performed forsold-out audiences for much of the last year.

The plan is for p.o.p. toffees to be sold atEdgemar (2437 Main St.) throughout theend of July, at which point the involved par-ties will evaluate the partnership to deter-mine how to proceed.

“We’re hoping to expand on this ideaexponentially,” Waiste said. “We hope we canbring in a number of partners.

“Anywhere you go in Santa Monica,you’re running into homeless people. Whatwe had in mind was to sell our fresh buttercrunch to people, and when they buy it theyknow that half their money is going to feedhomeless people in Santa Monica.”

Added Maceri: “We’re so fortunate tohave this collaboration. It’s a great exampleof how local community members and busi-nesses are partnering with us to make a dif-ference in Santa Monica.”

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S PUZZLE

■ Gregory Reddick, 54, and hisemployer, SJQ Sightseeing Tours,filed a lawsuit in June againstNew York City for “harass(ing)”them and hampering their abilityto rip off tourists, specifically,interfering with their “right” tosell tickets for $200 or more fortrips on the Staten Island Ferry -- which is actually free to ride.Reddick was wearing an (unau-thorized) “Authorized TicketAgent” jacket when arrested, andaccording to a New York Postaccount, believes he operateslegally because he misunder-stands a technicality in a 2013court case. Prosecutors, who

described the waterfront tourist-exploitation scene as “the wildwest,” found Reddick with sevendates of birth, five aliases andsix Social Security numbers.■ Doctors at a hospital inDongyang, China, removed 420kidney stones from a singlepatient in June (a “Mr. He”). Oneof the surgeons told reportersthat a soy-heavy diet of tofu wasprobably to blame. According tothe Guinness Book of WorldRecords, the most stonesremoved from one kidney duringsurgery (in India in 2009 in athree-hour operation) is (this isnot a misprint) 172,155.
