A Santa Monica resident ishelping a piece of history travelcross-country as a moving tributeto a group of WWII pilots, includ-ing his father.

Santa Monica residentChristopher Wilkinson is not a vet-eran but his father, who died in1994, flew in the 384th BombGroup during WWII.

Wilkinson wanted to give backto the men who served the countryand be became involved in theproject to ship a piece of a B-17plane around the country allowingthe now dispersed veterans to pro-vide their signatures before thewing panel is ultimately displacedat the Hill Aerospace MuseumNear Hill Air Force Base at SaltLake City, Utah.

Volunteer members of theorganization, including children ofthe veterans, have been moving thetribute around the country for thepast six years after securing thepart as a donation from aCalifornia based restorer.

Wilkinson said he has gatheredinformation from militaryresources and museums and start-ed off with 150 names of veteranswho served under 384th BombGroup in WWII. He started ship-ping the wing panel from veteranto veteran asking for their signa-ture and if they had any informa-tion on fellow soldiers.

Wilkinson makes it clear to theveterans and their families that thepurpose is to recognize the legacyand sacrifice of all the members ofthe bomb group.

“The project has grown andtaken off on its own wings beyondmy original contributions to beembraced by the members and vet-erans of the 384th Bomb Group,”said Wilkinson. “I am very grateful

Throughout her daily life,Traci Propst observes andinteracts with what seems to bea strange subset of creatures.

These so-called millennialshave immersed themselves ina technologically driven socie-ty but are old enough toremember life without smart-phones. Indeed, before textingwas popular, they communi-cated during school classes bypassing paper notes.

“Although we love our tech-nology,” the young author said,“I think there’s something tobe said about having gonethrough our adolescence stagewithout it for the most part.”

Millennials also appearinclined to live at home longereven though they see them-selves as independent, andthey get married later eventhough an avalanche of datingapps is at their fingertips.

“We are the generation ofdivorce babies,” she said, “[so]we’re in no rush to jump intosomething we’re not entirely

sure about. ... We feel no needto settle.”

Propst, a Santa Monica res-ident, is a millennial herself.And her musings on the gen-eration — who it describes,what sets it apart and how itimpacts everyone else — arenow contained in her firstbook, “The Millennial Hustle:Life Through the Eyes of aMillennial.”

Millennials have becomeknown for their affinity forthe digital world — theInternet, smartphone apps,electronic devices andbeyond. But Propst thinksthey find joy in reading physi-cal books because it’s whatthey knew as children.

“There is still something tobe said about the feel of abound book in your hand —something you can carryaround and feel like it’s a partof you,” said Propst, whosebook will soon be available inelectronic format. “I don’t seebooks going completely out ofstyle anytime soon. Oddly

$5 Million lottery ticketsold in Santa Monica

Eric Rubenstein was looking for a newcareer path and like many people, he felt agood place to sit and apply for jobs was atthe local Starbucks.

Rubenstein used to always go to thesame location to sit and work on hisapplications, but one Friday morning, hegot a late start and the location he usu-

ally goes to was too busy. He decided totry another location but on his waythere, he explained, “I got a splittingheadache so I stopped at a nearby CVSto get some Advil.”

That detour changed his and his fam-ily’s lives forever, because while there,he bought one of the CaliforniaLottery’s newest Scratchers games, a$5,000,000 Platinum Payout. Once inthe car, he scratched it and becameCalifornia’s newest multi-millionaire byscratching off the top prize of$200,000 per year for 25 years for atotal of $5 million. After double-check-ing it was in fact a winner, then it wastime for some fun.

Rubenstein decided to surprise his wifewith the news. When she got home, he said,“I have a surprise for you!” He gave her abeautifully wrapped box, and inside it wasanother box, and inside that, another box,and so on and so on. Finally, inside the lastbox was the winning ticket. She was aston-ished. The couple plans to invest, donate tocharity, buy a house and contribute totheir kids’ education funds.

Rubenstein purchased the winningticket at the CVS location at 2505Santa Monica Boulevard. The retailerwill be receiving a retailer bonus of$25,000 just for selling the winning $5million ticket.

The $5,000,000 Platinum PayoutScratchers game has a top prize amount of$200,000 per year for 25 years for a totalof $5 million (winners also have the optionof taking a lump sum cash payment of $2.9million before federal taxes) and are partof the Lottery’s continued effort to giveout more prizes, create more winners andearn more money for California public edu-cation.

THE WORLD IS ABOUT TO TURN PINK.No, I am not referring to some alternate

universe where we have a partiallyRepublican government – I mean PINK,Breast Cancer Awareness Pink. Susan G.Komen, the American Cancer Society andthe National Breast Cancer Foundation areall going to be help make the world pinkstarting this Saturday.

Pink Ribbons. Pink Toilet Paper. PinkCampbell’s soup cans. Pink gloves on theDelta Airlines ground crew in every airportin America. If you can make it pink, it will bepink starting October 1.

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness month andthe forces behind turning the world pink arehoping that the more pink you see the moreaware you’ll be about the single greatesthealth danger facing women in the world –cancer. This is driven by an industry that isactively working hard to keep women in fearof the dreaded breast cancer, and keep thefunds flowing to support their charities.

Many of these charities do phenomenalwork and the rate of breast cancer relateddeaths is definitely down as a result of theawareness of the disease. But not across theboard. There is a population that has notbeen greatly helped by all the awarenessefforts.

And it’s not men – who do in fact getbreast cancer as well as women, not in largenumbers though, and certainly none of thepink platoon really wants to address thatissue. The women who are not helped by theawareness campaigns, are the women whohave dense breasts.

Turns out the conventional wisdom of awoman getting a mammogram to find can-cerous tumors is right, but only for thosewomen who have fatty breasts.Mammograms are able to “see” through thefat and identify those tumors that may because for concern, but a mammogram can-not distinguish effectively when a breast ismade of dense fibrous tissue.

I learned about this when a college friendwas mentioned in our alumni newsletter forher award winning documentary called“HappyGram”. It is an in-depth look at themedical aspects of breast cancer and how itfailed one of our fellow alums – HallieLeighton. She had a family history of breastcancer, her mother had died of it and shewas determined to do all she could to avoidthe same fate. She started going for mammo-grams earlier than most, and each year shereceived a letter saying her results were nor-mal.

Here’s the thing about that letter – nor-mal doesn’t actually mean cancer free. It justmeans the radiologist who reviewed themammogram didn’t see anything thatlooked like cancer. Hence the title‘HappyGram’. Hallie had dense breaststhough, and no one told her that the densitycould obscure tumors and skew the resultsof her mammogram.

The lack of knowledge, and the annualletter saying her results were “normal” led

her into a false sense of security. Sadly by thetime the cancer had spread enough to be rec-ognizable, it had also metastasized and shewas on a fatal trajectory.

In the documentary HappyGram(www.happygramthemovie.com) DirectorJulie Marron goes into an in-depth analysisof the forces at play when it comes towomen’s health and breast cancer. Themovie addresses the various industry con-stituents like the American College ofRadiology and their positions on the neces-sity and propriety of informing patients ofthe fact that they have dense breasts (they’reagainst it in the movie but seem to have soft-ened on that position since).

The breast cancer “industry” was quitevocally against letting patients know aboutthe fact of their dense breasts, and activelyworked to prevent legislation that wouldrequire the radiologist from informingpatients of their status. “Even suggestingthat mammography has limitations makes itappear you are against women” said Dr.Deborah Rhodes M.D. (Mayo Clinic) in thedocumentary.

Luckily in 2012 California passed a lawauthored by then state Senator Joe Simitian,that a patient is to be informed, although ittook an extra year and had to overcomeGovernor Brown’s initial veto in the previ-ous session.

The number of women effected istremendous. Annually 38 million women getmammograms, approximately 15 million ofthem have dense breast tissue and could beliving with a false sense of security. If youhave dense breast tissue, there are betteroptions to scan for cancerous tumors, there’sultrasound, MBI (molecular breast imaging)and MRI.

As the world goes pink in a week, weshould be more aware of the disease, but weshould also be more skeptical of those whoclaim to be fighting the good fight. As themovie Ribbons, Inc. showed, all is not as itseems in the charitable world of breast can-cer fundraising.

Like the dense breasts themselves, theindustry itself obscures the issues and hidesbehind a wall of fear, so that the fundraisingand medical costs never end. The movieHappygram helps to dispel the myth that a“normal” mammogram means an ‘all-clear’to the patient. By doing so they are helpingsave lives, just like the many good charitiesand dedicated medical professionals.

It’s just a damn shame it came too late formy friend Hallie Leighton. Her participationin this movie will hopefully save others fromthe fate which she, like a classic GreekDrama, was destined to suffer.

SOMETIME IN LATE OCTOBER, I’LL HOST THE12th Annual Friends of Elaine KortzebornMedicare Open Enrollment Party.

Every year since 2005, I’ve helped a dozenor so my mom’s buddies review theirMedicare Part D prescription drug insur-ance and make sure it still works for them.

At first, I ran into some resistance. Mom’sfriends didn’t want to bother. They had cov-erage and didn’t see why they needed to keepchecking their drug plans. After a couple ofyears, though, that attitude disappeared.

We kept finding that, every year, theirhealth needs changed and so did the list ofdrugs covered by their plans. Shoppingamong the numerous plans and choosingthe right one could mean saving hundreds ofdollars a year.

Now, everyone’s on board to make surethey have coverage that’s right for them.

All this is just my way of reminding youthat Medicare’s annual open enrollment sea-son begins Oct. 15 and runs through Dec. 7.This is the time every year when you cansign up for a new Medicare drug or healthplan, or switch the one you have now.

Any new coverage you select will takeeffect Jan. 1, 2017.

In addition to Part D drug plans, openenrollment applies to Medicare Advantagehealth plans, which are essentially managedcare plans run by private insurers approvedby Medicare.

If you have Original (traditional)Medicare and you’re satisfied with it, youdon’t need to do anything during openenrollment.

If you have a Medicare Advantagehealth plan or Part D drug plan, keep inmind that these plans can make changeseach year, including what they cover, howmuch they charge for monthly premiumsand deductibles, and which doctors, hos-pitals, and pharmacies are in their net-works.

Always review the materials your healthor drug plan sends you, like the “Evidenceof Coverage” and “Annual Notice ofChange.” Make sure your plan still meetswhat you anticipate will be your healthneeds for next year. If you’re satisfied with

your current plan, and your insurer is stilloffering it in 2017, you don’t need to makeany changes.

Here are resources to help you compareyour current coverage with new plan offer-ings for 2017. You can:

Visit www.medicare.gov to review drugand health plans, including costs, availablein your area and enroll in a new plan if youdecide to. This information will be live onor around Oct. 1 (and before that onwww.cms.gov.) Medicare rates the planson a scale of one to five stars. Open enroll-ment information also is available inSpanish.

Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227)for around-the-clock assistance to find outmore about your coverage options. TTY usersshould call 1-877-486-2048. Counseling isavailable in a variety of languages.

Review the Medicare & You handbook. Thishandbook is mailed to the homes of people withMedicare each fall and it’s also online at:https://www.medicare.gov/pubs/pdf/10050.pdf

enough, the people who usually ask if mybook is available as an e-book are part of theolder generations, the baby boomers andGen X. I think they are the ones who lovetheir Kindles and Nooks.”

A military-family product who traveledthe world throughout her childhood, Propsthas carved out a space in media by hostingwebisodes and writing about the millennialexperience. Many of her observations arebased on events in her personal life and thelives of her peers.

Propst, whose book touches on datingand education as well as religion and the so-called quarter-life crisis, has lived in SantaMonica for almost a year after spending theprevious two in West Hollywood.

She finds the coastal city to be an idealdestination for millennials because of itscombination of professional opportunities,dining and nightlife options and access to the

Pacific Ocean. She also noted Santa Monica’swalkability and diversity of transit options.

“You can go to a great dinner and rooftoplounge on a Saturday night and then spendSunday relaxing on the beach listening to thewaves crash,” she said. “When I’m feeling over-whelmed I take a long walk down OceanAvenue, and somehow just looking up the coast-line is the perfect reminder that it’s all going to beOK. This soothes a millennial’s anxiety.”

Contrary to what some of their eldersmay think, Propst said, millennials generallycare about the world around them and wantto make a difference.

“We’re a generation that wants to beinvolved, not just informed,” she said. “Wewant to take action. ... Millennials willimpact their cities in a very positive and for-ward-thinking way when it comes to takingcare of the environment, community,healthcare and anything else we deemimportant. Making positive changes feelssecond-nature to us.”

Rent Control Board, the party is endorsingAnastasia Foster (incumbent) and CarolineTorosis (challenger).

Their endorsements include support forMeasure V (bond money for Santa MonicaCollege) and Measure SM (revisions of thecity’s ethics rules). The party took no positionon Measures GS and GSH (raising taxes to fundaffordable housing/schools). However, theyformally opposed Measure LV (also known asthe LUVE initiative that would mandate voterapproval of some development decisions).

The Community for Excellent PublicSchools (CEPS) announced endorsements thisweek. CEPS is an advocacy organization thathas worked to secure funding for local schoolsincluding a commitment from City Hall to along-term funding agreement with SMMUSD.

“Community for Excellent Public Schools(CEPS) endorses the incumbents on the SantaMonica City Council and on the Santa MonicaCollege Board of Trustees as the most reliablechampions of prioritizing education, as votersconsider their choices in the upcomingNovember 8 election,” said their statement.

“Additionally, CEPS has made three importantdecisions on local (Santa Monica and Malibu)ballot measures before voters in this 2016 localelection. CEPS supports Measures GSH/GSand Measure V; and opposes Measure LV.”

Incumbents for the SMC board areRader, Quinones-Perez and Susan Aminoff.

In opposing Measure LV, the statementsaid LV does not exempt school construc-tion, restrict housing for families/teachersand diminish trust in the public process.

“In opposing Measure LV, CEPS is neitherdismissing the serious concerns raised by itssupporters nor questioning its proponents’motives,” said the press release. “We simplybelieve that Measure LV will make thingsworse, not better, especially for our schools. Itcould delay and even prevent the badly need-ed modernization or post-disaster recon-struction of many educational facilities. Weworry that its passage would diminish ourcommunity’s commitment to inclusion andhelping people of all socioeconomic levelshave access to housing, good jobs and greatschools in Santa Monica.”

The local branch of the Sierra Club saidMonday that it also opposes LV.

I support the first amendment rights of Mr. Foster and Mr. de la Torre to protest.However as elected officials at a Board of Education meeting I feel that they abused

to everyone, but especially to the veteransand their families.”

The project relies on the efforts of volun-teers for the simple fact of transporting thepanel from one veteran to the next.

Volunteers have shipped the panel acrossthe U.S. about six times already, as far east asNew Hampshire, south to Florida, Michigan,Texas, Arizona and to Washington and manystates in between.

Veterans across the nation host a partyand celebrate with family as each veterangets to sign and hang on to the wing panelfor a week.

The 384th Bombardment Group wasactivated on December 1, 1942 in Idaho.Between the years of 1943 and 1945 theyflew 316 missions, dropped 22,415 tons ofbombs on targets in Germany, France,Poland, and many more becoming one ofthe most heavily decorated Air Force Groupsduring WWII. Unfortunately the group lost159 B-17s and 1,625 men were killed.

Of the 4,300 or so combat crew whoserved in the 384th Bomb Group, only a few

hundred are probably still alive. Over 135WWII veterans of the 384th BombardmentGroup have signed the B-17 wing panel.

Any person who served in the 384thBomb Group during the years of 1943 to1946 is encouraged to sign the panel.

“I am truly thankful for the people whohave donated their time and financial sup-port, physically transporting the B-17 wingpanel themselves to the veterans,” saidWilkinson. “The volunteers have made itpossible for the project to be shipped to vet-erans in California, Arizona, Nevada,Oregon, Washington, North Dakota,Montana, Colorado, Missouri, Illinois,Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, andTexas.”

The wing panel just left Santa Monica,last week to be shipped to the next volunteerin Nebraska who will carry the panel in theback of his car and have the next veteransign the panel and relive the memories ofserving the country.

Knowing that nothing in life is permanent, and eventually, in one way or another, everyone leaves, we stillinvest in people -- with our hearts, time and money. The change of Mars points out that people will leavewhether or not we invest. And if no investment is made, the relationship won’t add much value to life, evenif it lasts a really long time.

Mars Changes

ARIES (March 21-April 19)Are you going to do what you said you woulddo? That’s all they care about today.Hopefully, you underestimated what youwould do, and the delivery will be over yourpromise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)You might be very bored with what’s going ontoday, and that’s really just a challenge to looka little deeper. There’s always a pretty thing tobe admired, a problem to be solved. There’salways a day to be made.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)When you don’t exactly know how to managewhat’s going on down low, look up high. Is therea higher thought that resonates with you? Aguide, a cloud formation, a sky that speaks toyou?

CANCER (June 22-July 22)Small thinkers will go disguised as “reason-able” people. They may tell you about limitsthat are true for them, but that does not meanthat the same rules apply to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)The market is calling you. You’ve something tosell, and they definitely want it. How will youposition this? Knowable, likeable, trustable:You’re all these things.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Something you set up one way will end upanother. There is nothing reasonable you cando about this. Settle in. That is just anotherway of saying, “Chill.” It’s going to work whenyou calm down.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)“With liberty and justice for all”: Well, that’s abig statement with a big meaning. Your sign ofbalance and fairness, you really get that, live itand mean it. What are you going to do about ittoday?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)Your plans are solid, meaning that nothing hasbeen left to chance -- but chance doesn’t likethat at all. This is the time she will rebel,elbowing her way into the equation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)The dynamic between two people is com-pelling. Fake or real -- it depends a lot on themedium. Of the ones you observe now, you’rewise to be a little skeptical.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)There is safety in being shy. If you feel likehiding, it’s a signal that you will benefit bydoing the opposite. Take one step forward.Put yourself out there, even if it feels fool-ish.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You sought a position in the middle becauseyou thought it would be logical and easier,but it wasn’t. There is no middle. It’s alwaysthe start of something or the end of some-thing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)Life is an experiment. No one ever really knowshow a choice will turn out; they just get adeptat playing their odds. And the only way to dothat is by building experiences -- choosing andthen choosing again.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 27)

You can’t help who you are. That’s the sad way to look at it. Who you are is a gift. That’s the happyway. This is your year to start making good on all those things you thought were “different” or“flawed,” because it turns out that those are your assets. Lean into it. December and June will beyour best months financially. Libra and Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 11, 13, 29 and 4.
