Airport Park Wins Design Awards
Santa Monica Airport
Park received the Westside Urban Forum’s 2008
Honor Award for Urban Solutions. Additionally the park designed was awarded
the “Merit Award” from the American Society of Landscape Architects/
Southern California Chapter. Calvin Abe of Ab’he
Associates, was the consultant landscape architect for the park. He
is seen with the design award as well as the Westside award, joined
by one of his colleagues, Kiku Kurahashi
 
Carbon
Offsets on Line
A new feature on
the Santa Monica
Airport website
is an option for people flying into or out of the Airport to
calculate their carbon footprint – the “green house gas” impact of
their flying – and to purchase carbon offsets.
The calculator
will provide a measure of the carbon produced by specific flight
distances, the number of passengers to be included and if one way or
round trip. The amount can be offset through purchase of offset
credits. The purchases go to non-profits organizations involved
in reforestation and alternative energy projects. The cost of the
offsets are actually quite modest (e.g., for two persons round trip
to San Francisco
it would be about $5.27) but potentially can have great impact in
terms of awareness, in investment solutions, and in individual
responsibility.
While local
airports and jurisdictions cannot set emission standards for the aircraft
using them (that is done exclusively by the Federal Aviation
Administration with the federal Environmental Protection Agency),
they can seek to provide awareness of, and options for, the people
flying to and from the Airport to address some of the environmental
impacts of their flights. Some airlines and commercial Airports have
begun providing a carbon offset option but Santa Monica Airport
appears to be the first general aviation airport to do so.
The Airport plans
to widely publicize this opportunity to Airport users and seek
support in this effort from service providers. Please visit the
carbon offset page, which can be also reached from anywhere in the
Airport’s website http://www.smgov.net/airport/
by clicking on the carbon offset button in the lower left corner. You can also use the listed
carbon offset sites for information on programs to calculate and
offset other activities, such as driving. Airport staff will be
working with the City’s Environmental Programs staff on adding
additional carbon offset sites and related information to the site.

CPR Lifesaver Receives Red Cross Award
CPR works! Snow Sebesta is shown above with Santa Monica Fire
Department Fire Marshall, Jim Glew, her husband, Kurt Sebesta and Santa Monica Red Cross CEO John
Pacheco. In a surprise ceremony at
Gunnell Properties at the Airport
where Snow and Kurt both work, she received the Red Cross Life Saving
Award. Snow proved the essential value of CPR training when her
husband Kurt suddenly collapsed with heart failure. She immediately
applied CPR while directing others to call 911. Her prompt action and
training truly saved Kurt’s life. As John Pacheco of the Red Cross
said in presenting the award, the majority of people saved by CPR are
people’s families and friends. Everyone is encouraged to get the
training so if the situation arises they can save a life just as Snow
Sebesta did. CPR training is available
through the Red Cross (http://www.redcrossofsantamonica.org/Education/course.aspx?c=4014)
and they also have classes at the Airport through EVAC (Emergency
Volunteer Air Corps) http://www.stauber.com/smoevac/index.html.

Krueger Aviation
“Son, I don’t
know how smart you are, but you sure are lucky…”
Ken Krueger, founder and owner of
Krueger Aviation, recalls back in 1967 how an audacious
fraternity buddy took him on a wild airplane ride which left much to
be desired. It wasn’t until completing a business degree from Bradley University, and joining Parker
Aerospace as a contract negotiator that a co-worker and member of
AOPA took him flying again. From that point on, Kenny was hooked.
Kenny loves to
sell airplanes. His very first job was when he was 11. His
grandmother gave him a Radio Flyer red wagon which he didn’t want…and
that’s when his innate entrepreneurial spirit kicked in....he
thought…”I’ll sell eggs”....and that is exactly what he did around
the neighborhood. Kenny recalls his “beginner’s luck” when he sold
his first aircraft, a Cessna C337 Skymaster
at Lease-A-Plane in Chicago.
He did so well in this venture that he was asked to manage the
Lease-A-Plane business at Santa
Monica Airport
– at the site he now operates.
Through the years, the
business changed name and
ownership, and eventually
evolved into a one- stop, “Circle K” operation. While Krueger
Aviation now is home to charter, maintenance shop or flight school
operations, his own primary
personal pursuit is the sale of aircraft. His continuing success is
seen in the fact that Krueger Aviation boasts one of the largest and
best Cirrus aircraft sales and service centers on the West Coast (the
Cirrus represents a new
generation of high tech propeller aircraft).

Ken
Krueger and his wife Diana
“Attitude is a key ingredient to life…,” says
Kenny. As the title suggests, Kenny busts up every time he remembers
the words of his grandma. He is not the smartest, but loves to work
hard, takes care of people and reaps the rewards that come as a
result of living a life of integrity, passion and service to others.
Kenny loves to sell planes. Kenny loves to fish
and golf. He loves to fly. Ask those that know him or have known
Krueger Aviation for 42 years. Kenny loves life!
