For more than four decades, the 1736 Family Crisis Center has offered care for victims of domestic violence, running shelters and crisis hotlines in L. A. and Orange counties on what today is a $15-million budget. But the primary residence of the nonprofit’s chief executive has been in Hawaii for at least the last 10 years. And for at least part of that time, the organization has paid for a luxury beachside apartment in Santa Monica for her visits to the region, and leased a BMW for her personal use at home on the Big Island, according to nonprofit records reviewed by The Times and a lawyer who fielded employee concerns in 2019. It’s unclear how long the 1736 FCC paid for the $6,500-a-month apartment or if it continues to do so. Board members for the nonprofit, which runs domestic violence shelters in the L. A. area, approved the arrangement in 2018, according to emails. The nonprofit was paying rent the following year, according to a bank transaction. The center’s attorney, Kerry Garvis Wright, would not provide details about how long the payments lasted.

We provide coats all the way from newborn through high school.”Coats distributed through schoolsThrough a partnership with the Family Resource Centers in schools, coats will be donated to those in need throughout eastern and central Kentucky. “I expect this year, with gas prices being up and inflation still being an issue, we’ll probably have quite a bit of requests.

CFB Wainwright training ‘as real as it can be,’ says retired major-general
Training at CFB Wainwright in Alberta is “as real as it can be” to prepare soldiers for combat operations, says a retired Canadian Armed Forces major-general. Four military members were killed, and dozens were injured after a fire broke out at the massive military base’s training area on Saturday, Prime Minister Mark Carney said at a press conference in Ottawa Sunday. Retired Maj.-Gen. David Fraser, who spent much of his over 30-year military career training at CFB Wainwright, said that training can involve up to thousands of people depending on the exercise. Some exercises are individual he said, providing an example of a member shooting a rifle at a gun range. Others are known as collective exercises, which involve two or more members, he said. “They’re progressive,” Fraser said in an interview Sunday. “You start off with one person and you end up at some stage in the game probably with 5,000 or 6,000 people,” he said.
