This meeting will introduce the people of Inglewood to a pair of major construction projects approved for our neighbors at LAX. The meeting topics include: • Landside Access Modernization Project (LAMP) - This program includes the LAX Train, Intermodal Transportation Facilities, a Consolidated Rent-a-Car Center, improvements to the Central Terminal Area and a connection to Metro Crenshaw Line. Together, these projects will transform LAX into a world-class airport, relieve traffic congestion and improve our travel experiences. SBWIB Awarded Grant for Pre- Apprenticeship Development in Engineering The South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB) has been awarded $240,000 by the California Workforce Development Board to continue developing its new Aero-Flex Pre- Apprenticeship (AFPA), which creates a career pathway for engineering. The funding will be utilized to expand the pilot program; designed as an employer-driven earn and learn model that will build a workforce pipeline to help meet the needs of area aerospace employers. The AFPA is a customizable program allowing each individual employer to design or “flex” the program’s curriculum to meet the needs of industry and of each participating manufacturer. Program participants will gain career knowledge in engineering, gain valuable work experience, connect with top employers ready to hire, gain industry association membership and more. Partnering employers will be able to flex the curriculum to their needs, build their workforce pipeline, receive funding to support training and recruitment and have access to a pool of talented job seekers ready to work. The program timeframe is 6-12 weeks and consists of work readiness • Northside Plan - This is an opportunity to transform approximately 340 acres of underutilized land north of the airport to better serve the people of Los Angeles County and LAX. Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) is preparing for current and future demand for use of the property. The updated LAX Northside Plan would complement community efforts to revitalize and support local businesses, provide more jobs, meet the needs of the airport and of local groups, and address the growing demand for open space for our communities. Bring your questions! This free program is open to all. Parking is free after 4 p.m., or take Metro bus lines 40, 111, 115, 212, 312, 442, 607 and 740. For more information about this program call (310) 412-5380 or visit http:// library.cityofinglewood.org/.

The AFPA provides an innovative and customizable framework that allows employers to easily invest in pre-apprentices with flexibility to respond to their priorities, labor market changes and innovations in the field. AFPA will be shared regionally throughout the Los Angeles Basin to bring together additional employers, workforce development partners, community colleges and others. The SBWIB is expecting to enroll up to 100 Aero-flex Pre-Apprentices with this funding. Additionally, students will be provided $500 stipends for their participation and successful completion of the program. Current partners include El Camino College, West Los Angeles College, Tooling U-SME, Training Funding Partners and AMP So/Cal. Some of the employer partners include Northrop Grumman, L-3 Communications, Magnetika, Impresa Aerospace, Space Vector, Ten Tech, Space Vector, Verisurf and Zodiac Aerospace. • Source: SBWIB Are You Still Paying Too Much For Your Medications?

They know all about the seizures and they also know how best to care for themselves or their loved ones should a seizure occur. While the persistent possibility of a seizure is well known, many people living with epilepsy are unaware of another threat that, while uncommon, is fatal They are unaware of SUDEP. What is SUDEP? SUDEP stands for Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy. It is an uncommon but fatal complication that kills one in 4,500 children with epilepsy and one in 1,000 adults with epilepsy each year. In many cases of SUDEP, an otherwise healthy person with epilepsy dies unexpectedly. And while SUDEP may seem to strike from nowhere, new research is available to help patients and their families reduce their risk. The American Academy of Neurology and the American Epilepsy Society recently released a new guideline to help patients and their families better understand SUDEP and its risk factors. According to the guideline, the occurrence of generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS), a type of seizure that involves the whole body, is one of the key risk factors for SUDEP. The guidelines also find that a patient’s risk of SUDEP increases as GTCS increases in frequency. Likewise, seizure freedom from GTCS decreases a person’s risk of SUDEP. Care guidelines for doctors, patients and caregivers Given the clear connection that exists between the frequency of GTCS and their risk for SUDEP, reducing GTCS experiences remains the most effective way to reduce a person’s SUDEP risk. For neurologists-the doctors who treat patients with epilepsy-this means increasing patient knowledge of SUDEP and letting people know that while the condition is uncommon, it can be fatal. This conversation can be difficult, but it is essential so patients can better understand their risks and how to protect their health. Actively working with patients who experience GTCS to manage their epilepsy therapies is the best way to reduce their seizure risk. Neurologists should also inform patients that seizure freedom, particularly freedom from GTCS-which is more likely to occur by taking prescribed medication regularly-is strongly associated with a decreased risk of SUDEP. For patients, this report makes the conversations they have with their neurologist regarding their epilepsy treatment more important than ever. Patients must speak with their neurologist about their experiences and carefully follow the treatments set in place. Failure to do so could not only be seizure inducing, but life threatening. For those living with epilepsy and their caregivers, sidestepping the treatment simply isn’t worth the risk.
