It should be Ondine Chavoya not Andine. Thank you. Regarding Jesse Lerner’s interview with the curators of the Asco show, you have one of the co-curators names spelled incorrectly.

I hear that from a lot of people. Surprising to hear that from an officer that has a pulse on the vehicles on the street. In reality it's more like, compact cars range in weight from 3,000 to 4,500 pounds. Mid-size cars and sedans have a weight range of 4,500 pounds to 5,500 pounds depending on model. Light trucks, minivans and sport utility vehicles or SUVs can weigh between 5,000 pounds to 7,000 pounds. The larger pick-up trucks range from 7,500 to 12,000 pounds. Then add to that the weight of the passengers and whatever they're carrying. 2,000 lb vehicles? That's nirvana!!! I would be in bicycling heaven!!! There probably would be no reason to have any laws protecting the bicyclist. 2,000 lb vehicle? I hear that from a lot of people.

I have been employed here for the past decade and am currently one of their Community Outreach workers. We are a 16 bed facility for youth between the ages of 10-17 that are in need of a safe space. We serve youth that are at risk of running away as well as youth that are chronic runaways. We provide therapy, family counseling, individual counseling, case management, as well as music therapy and absolutely everything is free of charge. This is an amazing resource for youth throughout the Los Angeles metropolitan area; we also serve youth in the valley as well as youth from Santa Monica. More people need to know about our organization, whether it’s the youth themselves or social workers, probation officers, teachers etc. We are humbly asking for your help with this especially because we know the great work that KPFK consistently has done and continues to do, the caring individuals that donate their time so that the masses can have healthy quality radio programming. We are not asking for any monetary donations, rather we are hoping that you might be able to give our shelter a couple of plugs during your radio program so that people might become better aware of us and what we do, what we can provide for youth and families in need. Attached is our brochure in both Spanish and English that explains more about our organization. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration and we hope to hear from you soon!
