A 2013 Oscar-winning documentary short, “Inocente,” will screen 6 p.m. Thursday, June 6 at the La Jolla Community Center, 6811 La Jolla Blvd. Inocente is a San Diego artist and activist. As a young child her family emigrated to the U.S. from Mexico. After her father’s arrest and deportation for domestic violence, most of Inocente’s childhood was spent moving from one homeless shelter to the next. She discovered the power of art when she was 12, and since then has been able to use art as a vehicle to rise above many life challenges.
This year’s event commemorates San Diego’s contributions to World War II and its “Arsenal of Democracy,” the fleet of war machines that were designed or built here. Dozens of planes will take to the skies, including Consolidated’s famed “flying boat,” the PBY Catalina, and one of the few PB4Y-2 Privateers still flying today. New this year is the Silver Wings Wing-walking team, combining flying and artistry in a dynamic sky ballet on the wings of Stearman bi-planes. The only Northrop N9M Flying Wing returns, along with John A. Collver and his AT6/SNJ “War Dog,” a World War II trainer performing in an aerial display to the strains of patriotic music. The show also features NASA educational displays, military services and defense contractors, and booths with everything from aviation art to airplane models. Food and beverages, including a beer garden, too. The weekend event runs 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., June 1-2, Gillespie Field, 1960 Joe Crosson Drive, El Cajon.

Bocar Ba, of 11888 Old Hammond Highway, was arrested.
Agents seized 3,082 fake designer shoes and purses with an estimated manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $1 million in the raid, Attorney General Buddy Caldwell said.
Among the items were fake Nike shoes, and bogus Louis Vuitton, Prada and Coach merchandise.
“Once again, this illustrates my commitment to maintaining a level playing field for our good Louisiana businesses,” Caldwell said. “There are unscrupulous individuals out there selling everything from fake handbags to prescription medicines. Counterfeit goods seriously harm our legitimate Louisiana businesses and often endanger the safety of our citizens. Such criminal activity will not be tolerated.”
