SOUTH LAKE TAHOE With firefighters gaining the upper hand on a five-day-old wildfire, authorities turned Friday to the task of preventing soil and ash from wash- ing into Lake Tahoe’s famously blue waters before summer thunderstorms set in. Even as they kept extinguishing hotspots, fire crews pivoted their attention to the work of reversing damage wrought by the fire, as well as their own efforts to combat it. A team of 25 biolo- gists was scheduled to help them thwart erosion, heal bulldozed fire line scars and encourage new plant growth. “I personally can’t think of a more sensitive area that’s burned in the western United States in a long time,” said Matt Mathes, a U.S. Forest Service spokesman.

Wings over Santa Monica

The roar of jet engines readying for take off, the tell-tale fumes given off by aircraft idling on the runway, the cries of local residents who would like nothing more than to shutter the venerable facility. These are the sights, sounds and smells one takes in while visiting the Santa Monica Airport.

So this week’s Q-Line question asks:

Is the airport a valuable commodity for the City of Santa Monica or just a nuisance and safety hazard?
