Happy birthday, Marion Davies Singer Janet Klein cut a rug 1920s-and-‘30s-style at the Annenberg Community Beach House last Sunday as costumed Santa Monica Conservatory docents celebrated what would have been the 118th birthday of silent film and talkie star Marion Davies, the house’s former owner. Davies starred alongside Clark Gable in 1936’s “Cain and Mabel,” paired up with Bing Crosby in 1936’s “Going Hollywood” and played the lead in the 1928 King Vidor romantic comedy “Show People,” which docents screened during the party. She was also famous for being the mistress of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, who backed her first film.

LETTERS Closed bike path entrance was vital infrastructure Re: “Closed gate opens controversy,” news, Jan. 8 The Marina del Rey bike path gate behind Ralphs is a vital access point and should receive the attention and resources necessary for it to remain open. Its closure is a good reminder of how wanting our infrastructure is for pedestrians and cyclists. We should be working to get this gate open and then move to vastly improve the amenities
ArgonautNews.com overall. For example, if I were with my kids getting a volleyball at Sport Chalet, how could I then bike to Mother’s Beach with the gate closed? Even with the gate open, there is no safe way to ride with children to Mother’s Beach. Recent improvements to Admiralty Way have done nothing for cyclists, and Via Marina is now essentially a six-lane highway. Meanwhile, families are riding bikes on the sidewalk. What we have seen to date is not a recipe for turning
the marina around. Address the basics and the people will come back. Thank you for your coverage.

Homelessness and ‘the Big Lie’ Distorting the facts to chase the homeless out of Venice won’t solve anything By Sylvia Aroth I’m a businessperson who’s lived and owned property in Venice for several decades, so I’m someone who came here for its distinctiveness and diversity, stayed because I found what I was looking for, and now enjoy the benefit of increased property values. I pride myself on not allowing property ownership to obscure my other values. As one community colleague recently put it, “People come to Venice to be changed by Venice, not to change Venice.” That certainly includes me. But as we’ve seen in recent years amid debate and rancor over the homeless, permit parking, beach curfews, development regulations and other often divisive subject matters, maybe that’s not as much the case anymore. Some people who appear to view the community primarily through the prism of their investment (and who might feel just as at home in a community such as Woodland Hills) seem eager to make Venice a “cleaner” investment despite all the gains they’ve seen over time. A recent column in The Argonaut by the head of the Venice Stakeholders Association (“Venice Beach is not a campground,” Dec. 18) revisited some of the complaints and positions of people generally holding these attitudes. A few of its assertions are useful for discussion. First, the article stated that there’s a “permanent homeless encampment” along Ocean Front Walk. That’s a mischaracterization worthy of Fox News. An encamp-
ment is inherently temporary. For years the homeless have slept on the sand, on sidewalks, in alleys, in vehicles, in door fronts, on Ocean Front Walk and, now, on the grass adjacent to Ocean Front Walk. The so-called encampment moves around, sometimes because of enforcement, other times because of convenience. In other words, it’s not permanent in any one location. And sometimes some of the things certain people find most objectionable about the presence of the homeless have come about as unintended consequences of enforcement actions. This tendency to overstate a phenomenon has been dubbed a “frequency illusion” by scientists. Seeing something that’s annoying, pleasing or surprising can trigger our brains to be on the lookout for repeated occurrences and inflate our perceptions of how much of it there really is — like hipsters wearing fedoras or ski caps. A couple of years back we repeatedly heard alarms about hundreds of sleepers blighting Ocean Front Walk. Then some reliable folks went out on three separate nights spread over a six-week period and were never able to count more than 70 such sleepers. Thus, in the hands of
those with an agenda, a frequency illusion can be a tool for stirring up opposition over something that is nowhere near as commonplace as we’re being led to believe. Once upon a time this was called the “Big Lie Technique.” During an earlier economic downturn, then-L.A. City Attorney Jim Hahn boldly pledged not to prosecute and punish homeless persons for the non-crime of being homeless. He invoked the “defense of necessity,” a doctrine that accommodates certain behavior from people who are offered no alternative. That concept relates strongly to the outcome of a couple of recent court decisions decried by the Venice Stakeholders Association as making it more difficult for the police to shoo the homeless from one place to the other and to confiscate and discard their personal possessions. They’ve filed a lawsuit trying to make it easier again. Didn’t Einstein say that doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different outcome defines insanity? Another questionable assertion made by the column, citing a tragic 2009 murder committed on Electric Avenue by someone based in Culver City, is that allowing transients to remain in the community will
The article stated that there’s a “permanent homeless encampment” along Ocean Front Walk. That’s a mischaracterization worthy of Fox News.
inevitably lead to assaults on residents. Here’s another perspective: Yes, a few transients commit crimes and, hopefully, good police work (including cooperation from victims and witnesses) will help apprehend them. But, if someone were to honestly review the data instead of trying to create a frequency illusion, it would be obvious that many more crimes are committed by people with roofs over their heads. So is the possibility that a few housed people might do something bad justification for making all housed people go “somewhere else”? The notion that we can solve many of Venice’s problems by chasing the homeless to adjacent communities is, frankly, nonsensical. I’m surprised that certain community activists and political leaders have clung to it for so long. The Venice Stakeholders column at least in the end comes around to acknowledge that a concerted and likely expensive multi-community, multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional effort will be required to achieve constructive solutions. That’s probably the first time I’ve agreed with the Venice Stakeholders about much of anything. I hope it’s not the last. The late Venice activist Carol Berman once opined that nobody really is homeless, but some people are “houseless” and the community is home to them as much as it is to the rest of us. If we can start dealing with it that way perhaps we’ll eventually get a handle on these issues. Sylvia Aroth is a community and political activist who first moved to Venice in 1972.
LETTERS (Continued from page 7)
proud to have Hazelwood under his command. Daniel Cheng West Los Angeles Takes one to know one Re: Letters to the editor, Dec. 24 May I dispute the mindless ravings from Carol Easton and Edward LaGrossa, who have no firsthand experience in homelessness but believe they are experts on the subject? I was a bum for 29 years for the same reasons as today’s so-called homeless. We don’t want to pay rent or pay for food or pay for clothes. We do not want to pay for one damn thing — that is the reality. That is why we are out here. We are not nuts, and if we don’t drink, smoke or take drugs, living on welfare and food stamps is all gravy. There are some problems from living as a bum. If it gets too
cold we have to bundle up or go to a shelter. When it rains, we get wet and never seem to dry out. The biggest difficulty comes from the thugs who would knock out someone for his last 43 cents. That is as low as you can get. So to folks like Ms. Easton and Mr. LaGrossa, please stop calling people who disagree with you “haters.” These are the facts — the simple truth straight from a former bum. David Long Santa Monica Take back our city My New Year’s resolutions for Santa Monica: Take our city back from the city employees. Eliminate perks and reduce six-figure administrative salaries. Eliminate all positions that are not productive or overpaid. Institute an employment policy for residents only and at a living wage.
No more taxes: SaMo is already rich enough! Repeal L.U.C.E. and shut down the Palihouse. No more construction without Residocracy approval. End the war over the streets with pragmatic solutions. Get rid of planter medians and anything that narrows streets. Protect cyclists with solutions that work, rather than painting green stripes. Beautify Lincoln in ways that don’t encourage or obstruct traffic. Much more needs to be done at the site of Olympic High School than a mural. Fight the FAA in court and make SMO a park. Rehire Elisabeth Riel and terminate Ron Gould immediately without a pension. Hire a fiscally conservative city manager. Create resident review boards to monitor and evaluate the budget online. Turn the Civic Center into a giant homeless shelter with segregated dormitory areas for
children, women and men, with a 24-hour security presence. Stop fostering dependency among the homeless with so-called nonprofits. Provide those homeless who can work with real low-income housing and living-wage jobs to recycle waste and clean up the city. Recall the Santa Monica City Council. Implement a virtual town hall on the city website. Jon Mann Santa Monica Stop the deforestation of Marina del Rey Re: “Activists battle Oxford Lagoon renovation, news, Dec. 11 There seems to be a belief by the developers of Marina del Rey that people would love to live in something that resembles a hospital — stark and virtually barren of trees.

Marina del Rey because of the marina, the weather and its proximity to the beach, freeways and the airport, so they move into whatever is available. People like to live in new and updated homes, but this does not mean that they don’t want trees and water features as well. People love trees and water features — we have for eons — so let’s combine eons of triedand-true natural instinct with the appeal of new and modern living to create the best of both worlds. The representatives of L.A. County, meanwhile, have decided to go on a rampage to remove or allow the removal of thousands of trees from Marina del Rey. These include, but are not limited to, hundreds of trees at Oxford Lagoon, dozens along Admiralty Way, hundreds from where Shores is now and where Bar Harbor was located on Via Marina, and hundreds more at (Continued on page 12)

new s i n b r i e f Westchester couple jogs for a cure
Chris Shilakes, Kaely Orenski and Mackie Westchester native Kaely Orenski and husband Chris Shilakes, both 28, fell in love after their first date at Disneyland 10 years ago. On Sunday they head back to the Happiest Place on Earth to participate in the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America Half Marathon. The cause is a personal one:
in 2011, Shilakes was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, a painful inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. “Living with Crohn’s disease is a daily struggle, but I was having a particularly difficult time last summer when my wife and I discovered CCFA’s Team Challenge. It has helped me improve my health by providing motivation to train,” said Shilakes, a sound engineer. Orenski, a psychologist, and Shilakes are collecting donations to support the foundation’s work at chrisandkaely.com, where they are also blogging about their experience. They hope to raise $5,000 and are about half way there, Orenski said. — Joe Piasecki
Venice High gets a recording studio Students at Venice High School have something to sing about. On Monday, the school’s music program launched an electronic music recording studio, allowing students to write and record their own songs. Four small rooms in the music building were each equipped with monitor speakers, microphones, headphones and laptops loaded with professionalgrade production software. “These kids will literally be able to make any kind of music they want,” said project coordinator Lawrence Grey, 25. He’s volunteering to mentor the young musicians twice a week and will be sending interns from his company, Young Producers Group, the rest of the week. Grey initially took the idea for a music studio to Brian Loucks, an agent with Creative Artists Agency who frequently engages with
music students at the campus. They teamed up with Melanie Bialis of the dropout prevention program Communities in Schools and found support from Venice High Music Director Wendy Sarnoff. Creative Artists Agency donated eight refurbished laptops, and Loucks and Bialis funded the rest of the equipment. “The importance of music is that it gives young people another voice, another way to speak, to communicate with the world,” Sarnoff said. Grey expects students to begin posting their creations online by next month. “A lot of people in this school like music, but they don’t know how to make music because they don’t have the resources. This will motivate people,” Venice High School senior Juan Lopez said. — Elliot Stiller

Neptune Marina. I am sure that there are many more on the chopping block for 2015 and beyond. Trees not only have aesthetic and psychological value, they also absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, collect rainwater and provide shade and wind shields, thus reducing energy costs. A mature tree can absorb about 48 pounds of carbon dioxide and produce 260 pounds
of oxygen per year, can capture up to 4,000 gallons of rainwater per year, filter it, and fill our aquifers, as well as conserve household energy through its shade. Trees have an average value of $525 per tree, according to Management Information Services, and a mature tree can often have an appraised value of between $1,000 and $10,000, according to Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers. For the trees in Marina del Rey that have
recently been removed or are in jeopardy of being cut down, we are looking at a whopping price tag. Since Marina del Rey is L.A. County land, this means that its trees belong or belonged to all of the residents and taxpayers of L.A. County. Consequently, who is going to reimburse the over 10 million L.A. County residents for these trees now and for the lost value for years to come? William R. Hicks Marina del Rey

Guy Webster’s 1966 front cover art for The Doors’ self-titled debut album.
As a teen, Webster hung out with Jack Nicholson and Candice Bergen (pictured) was a family friend.
Venice photographer Guy Webster built his legacy capturing music and movie legends on film
By Michael Aushenker The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Beach Boys, the Who, Simon & Garfunkel, Willie Nelson, Herb Alpert, Sonny & Cher, the cover of the first album by Venice’s the Doors — if photographer Guy Webster’s professional credits ended there, that would be enough to cement his legacy. But they don’t. Webster, who has maintained a Venice photography studio on Westminster Avenue for 35 years, has also worked with movie stars — Rita Hayworth, Bob Hope, Charlton Heston, Barbra Streisand and John Belushi to name just a few — and even presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. On Wednesday he signs copies of “Big Shots: Rock Legends & Hollywood Icons,” a 272-page deluxe hardcover chronicling his first decade (1965 to 1975) of making images for the music and film industries, at In Heroes We Trust, a vintage retail shop in Venice. Along with the photos are dozens of behind-thescenes anecdotes by Webster and some of his subjects.

late 1970s during the filming of “Goin’ South.” “They’re obviously stunning, very appropriate to the time period and captured an incredible moment in history,” said Megan Boud, curator of a corresponding exhibit of Webster’s work at the Napa Valley Museum in Northern California. Webster, 75, said it took him three years to organize the book. The problem, perhaps a good one to have, is that he’s been so prolific. “I photographed hundreds of bands. There’s just no room,” he said. “This was so exhausting. I don’t think I want to do another.” But don’t get him wrong. The outcome, he said, “is absolutely what I wanted.”
activist siding with the Mexican workers near Carmel,” Webster may actually have the U.S. Army to thank for his career. “I was scheduled to go to Yale, went into the Army during Vietnam and they asked me what I wanted to do. They suggested the photography department.” Webster, who served in Salinas near Fort Hood, initially didn’t have a clue about how to use a camera. “I went at it blind, reading three books at night on photography,” he recalled. ”I shot my first roll of film. I fell in love with it.” When Webster returned to Los Angeles, he struck up a friendship with future music mogul Lou Adler. “We were playing basketball and I told him about my photography,” Webster said. “He asked me if I had any. I said, ‘Yeah, I have some pictures in the car.’” From Vietnam to Venice Beach This was 1965 and Adler was impressed. Though he now lives in Ojai, Webster He informed Webster he was opening a remains active at his studio in Venice, record company called Dunhill.

the Guy with the Eye
Adler’s career skyrocketed when he founded Ode Records in 1967 and relocated to the A&M Records building in Hollywood. Webster’s portfolio began to swell. “It was so much fun. It was so exciting. We were inventing it as we went along,” Webster said. “The Stones, the Doors, the Beach Boys — it just kept growing and growing. Within a couple years, I had the money to buy a home in Beverly Hills. All my friends said, ‘Hey, wait a minute! How’d you get a home in Beverly Hills?’” Webster achieved all this despite getting cut off from family money because of his career choice. “They wanted me to go to Yale,” he said. “When I told them I wanted to be a photographer, they had no interest whatsoever.” Growing up in Beverly Hills, Webster was no stranger to the movie and music business. His father was three-time Academy Award-winning lyricist Paul Francis Webster, whose credits included “Secret Love” (sung by Doris Day for the 1953 movie “Calamity Jane”), Duke Ellington’s “I Got It Bad (And That Ain’t

Good),” and the themes for the John Wayne/Dean Martin western “Rio Bravo” and the 1960s “Spider-Man” cartoon. Webster ended up enrolling in the Art Center College of Design instead, paying for classes with his photo work. These days, when Webster is not immersed in photography, he indulges in a passion for vintage motorcycles. In 1971, Webster moved his family to Florence and began seriously collecting motorcycles. His collection at one point surpassed 300 machines, but he’s now winnowed it down to about 50 favorites —enough to fill a small museum devoted to Ceccato, MV Agosta, Ducati, Moto Rumi and other vintage Italian racing bikes. On the surface, Webster’s love for said machines may seem to clash with his adherence to Buddhist principles, which discourage material attachment. For him, it isn’t about flaunting wealth. It’s about “the anthropomorphic nature of the motorcycle: the heart, the lungs, the sinews and the ligaments. There is an overtly sexual nature, particularly evident in the Italian motorcycle. One of these days I won’t be around anymore and then the bikes will pass into the care of another,” he told Argonaut sister magazine Ventana Monthly in a 2009 interview. Opening new Doors To make his photography book more marketable to booksellers, Webster had to take a second look at some of the work he accomplished in the mid-1960s. He needed “more of the Doors, more of the Stones,” he said — and found it. “There are Doors photos that people
have never seen before,” Webster said of images from alternative photo sessions for the Doors’ breakthrough debut album. For the cover of that January 1967 record, Webster juxtaposed Ray Manzarek, John Densmore and Robby Krieger against a black field on which the shirtless bust of Jim Morrison was superimposed. With the band’s signature stenciled logo in a yellowish green across the top, Webster’s cover art nailed the nihilistic underpinnings and ancient Greek gallery air that permeates the death-obsessed album from the black pop candy of “Break On Through” to the rambling epic finale “The End.” Creating such imagery, Webster visually launched the mysterious and charismatic Doors frontman as the dark sex symbol he became. But it took some work: namely convincing Morrison to doff his shirt. “It was embarrassing,” Webster recalled, chuckling. “He was wearing this cheapass shirt. It was too Venice. I wanted to make him look like Jesus Christ.” Webster could get away with telling Morrison to ditch the shirt. They were college buddies at UCLA, where they took classes in the philosophy department. “He was serious and so was I, but we couldn’t compete with all the grad students,” Webster said. “He didn’t have the long hair then; he wasn’t yet a poet.” Webster also witnessed Morrison at his end. “I saw him just before he died. I didn’t really recognize him. It was really sad,” This Rolling Stones image was an outtake from the same Franklin Webster recalled. Canyon photo session in Hollywood that yielded the art appearing on the front cover of the American version of 1966’s “Big Hits (High Tide (Continued on page 36) and Green Grass)” as well as on the U.K. version’s back cover.

Group fills in blank spaces on the map L.A. Open Acres helps neighborhoods put vacant land to good use
Red and purple dots designating underutilized plots of land light up of a screen shot of the laopenacres.org map often face overlapping bureaucracies, resistance from property owners and a steep learning curve in land use policy, so success in revitalizing blighted areas typically requires collaboration among stakeholders such as neighborhood councils, public officials, nonprofit agencies and even developers, Douglas explained. “Everybody would benefit if something that’s been vacant becomes activated. It would become a new retail spot that the community needs and wants, and bring more people to the area to see the other businesses there,” said Sarah Auerswald, founding president of the Mar Vista Chamber of Commerce. Lots are vacant for different reasons, said Heather Davis, a policy analyst for Community Health Councils, the nonprofit organization that launched L.A. Open Acres. Some are neglected by absentee owners, some are abandoned by people who defaulted on tax payments and some are publicly owned but simply unused. The properties come in different forms: a partially used parking lot along Lincoln Boulevard in Venice, an uninhabited privately owned property along Vista del Mar in Playa del Rey; a strip of land alongside the

90 freeway in Del Rey. “One of the roles of nonprofits is to push public agencies to change their policies around vacant lands in order to promote the highest and best use of these properties, which tend to be lingering in bureaucratic limbo,” said Community Health Councils Policy Director David Carson. Putting such parcels to use requires a catalyst for action, as was the case several years back when residents teamed up with the Venice Canals Residents Association to convert a rundown lot into the Monarch Manor butterfly sanctuary east of 29th Avenue between Pacific Avenue and Strongs Drive. But the process doesn’t always go smoothly. The Marina Peninsula Community Council worked with the city in 2008 to prevent a vacant plot of land along the Grand Canal from being sold to a developer. There were high hopes to turn the space into a pocket park, but lack of community consensus and other priorities have prevented that work from taking place, said council President Sandie West. On the other hand, collaboration among residents and city government has put energy behind plans to renovate the
of the burden off us and put it onto the servers. Instead of us having to be the middleman, it would be right there — an aggregator of information,” Koontz said. Laopenacres.org was developed through a partnership with 596 Acres, which builds online organizing platforms, and C-Lab, which focuses on techniques for communication about urban environments. Community Heath Councils was funded by the LA2050 initiative, which supports projects that have the potential to improve the city. Community Health Councils is looking to partner with Los Angeles Trade Tech College to give stewardship of the site to architecture professor Marcela Oliva. Oliva had a leadership role in a sustainable buildings program for the Los Angeles Community College District that involved students in virtual-world planning of campus construction and renovations over eight years. She hopes to follow a similar process, which she describes as “SimCity for real,” with L.A. Open Acres. “What’s most exciting to me about L.A. Open Acres is the stuff that I haven’t even thought about that people are going to come up with. We don’t even know what all the possibilities are,” Douglas said. Photo by Roy Persinko
By Elliot Stiller Some 10 million people live in Los Angeles County, but there are still thousands of underutilized plots of land — even in increasingly dense Westside neighborhoods. An interactive online map that was recently launched to identify empty lots, foreclosed properties and other land that’s essentially vacant, L.A. Open Acres aims to channel community interest into putting them to good use. “If you put this data online and allow for community output, you have somewhere communities can meet, organize around and inform development interests: a window of what the community there cares about,” said Andrew Douglas, launch coordinator for the project. Laopenacres.org identifies vacant land in red if publicly owned and in purple if privately owned. Users can click on a parcel to see a picture of the lot and learn how big it is and who owns it. Plots of land highlighted with a pink border are “being organized” around by residents, who provide contact information through the site. The web page offers additional resources such as advice for organizing, networking opportunities, legal support and funding options. Community activists

City Councilman Bill Rosendahl to keep the building from being sold, said current council Chair Bill Koontz. Councilman Mike Bonin, Rosendahl’s successor, earmarked $30,000 in the city’s 2014-15 budget process for repairs to the building. The money has so far gone to clean up the heavily vandalized building (including hazardous material remediation), repair broken windows and the building’s roof, and increase security by improving lighting and adding a fence, said Bonin spokesman David Graham-Caso. “Councilmember Bonin is continuing to work to find money for the project, and the next phase will be finding funding for the building’s rehabilitation. In the long-term, Councilmember Bonin would like to see the site used as a neighborhood hub, where people can get access to city services and hold community meetings,” Graham-Caso said. Koontz said L.A. Open Acres could be a helpful organizing tool for this and similar projects involving the neighborhood council. “The interface would take a lot

Venice is where he grew up and still lives, where he experienced euphoria and heartbreak, where his seminal punk band formed, where they fired him, and where he came back to front his own outfit, Luicidal. It courses through his veins. On Sunday, Luicidal opens for San Francisco punk stalwarts the Dead Kennedys at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip. The journey to that gig has been a long one. Mayorga formed Luicidal in 2011, teaming up with former Suicidal Tendencies homie Ralph “R.J.” Herrera on drums, vocalist Mando Ochoa and guitarist Marty Ramirez. He gave this band its tongue-in-cheek sobriquet because Luicidal performs highlights from Suicidal Tendencies’ first three albums: their career-making self-
titled debut, “Join the Army” and “How Grant Estes, Jon Nelson and Rocky Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can’t George and drummers Herrera, Amery Even Smile Today.” Luicidal also perSmith and Sal Troy. forms originals off its self-titled debut, “We had our own scene,” Mayorga said. released last October on DC-Jam Records. “We worked differently.

A Santa Monica native, Herrera In 1983, Lisa Fancher signed Suicidal said his rhythm-section chemistry with onto her Frontier Records, a fertile Mayorga has incubator of not diminished West Coast “Suicidal always meant since their punk already ‘go for it.’ It wasn’t about home to the “Army” days. “We always killing yourself, it was about Adolescents, locked in T.S.O.L. and pretty well as a living.

“Memories of Tomorrow,” through which thrash kings Slayer acknowledged their L.A. punk influence by covering it in 1996. “My favorite album is [the first album], even though I didn’t play on it,” said Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, who played bass in Suicidal Tendencies from 1989 through the mid-‘90s. Metallica drew upon punk as an early influence, and Trujillo considers the band’s debut “groundbreaking” and “important,” combining various styles and cultures. “The grooves had a great feel to it,” Trujillo said. “Then there were these really bombastic, fast sections that had a great energy and impact. It’s a very unique style that was very true to how we grew up with the skaters and dressing in a way we were comfortable with: Dickies, shorts all the time, Vans, Converse. I still dress that way.” With its first-person autobiographical teen angst, “Institutionalized” struck a chord with disenfranchised youth. “I’m looking at the audience and they’re going nuts!” Mayorga recalled of playing the song live.

This Week “They were around for quite a while before I signed them,” Fancher said of the band. “That record didn’t sell right off the bat. It was a slow burn.” Yet Hollywood took notice and Fancher accompanied the band to Florida for their appearance on a “Miami Vice” episode. “It was really kind of trippy,” Herrera recalled of their two days filming a nightclub scene. “We were just kind of laughing. Just like the Grammy nomination [for 1990’s “Lights, Camera… Revolution!”], for years TV stations wouldn’t even say our name and now we’re nominated for a Grammy.” As Don Johnson’s pastels charmed mid-1980s America, Suicidal flew high, playing packed, anarchic shows that even caught the notice of rival L.A. punk brethren. “Suicidal Tendencies’ impact can’t be understated. The band was alternative to what was alternative,” said Lucky Lehrer, founding drummer of Frontier label mate the Circle Jerks. “In Venice, you really had a melting pot of African-Americans and Hispanics and Caucasians and Asians and Samoans and people from the islands, you know what I mean? It was really very diverse. A cultural statement, too,” said Trujillo, who attended Culver City High School. “Suicidal always meant ‘go for it.’ It wasn’t about killing yourself, it was about living. That’s why a lot of the surfers and skaters adopted this band. Not just in L.A. but all over the world.” Members of Suicidal Tendencies didn’t fraternize with the other punk bands. “We were so into our own thing, we didn’t really care,” Herrera said. “We were always viewed a little different about the way we looked, the way we sounded.”
Made in Venice Mayorga traces his Mexican-American heritage back to New Mexico, where his great-grandmother ran a bed-and-breakfast where, according to relatives, “Pancho Villa use to roll,” he said. His grandma Lupe bought a house near Venice Boulevard and Santa Monica in 1941. Coming up in Venice in the 1970s, the influence of gangs was prevalent and complicated the lives of two of Mayorga’s older brothers. However, a love for music — Steppenwolf, Parliament Funkadelic, Rick James, Chic — kept teenage Mayorga’s nose clean. In 1976, “The Song Remains the Same” played at the Criterion on the Third Street Promenade. “When the Led Zeppelin movie came out, it was over,” Mayorga recalled, smiling. Then punk broke, with the Buzzcocks, Devo’s first record and The Clash playing concerts at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium impacting Mayorga. He formed High Voltage, a local metal cover band that the Argonaut profiled in a late 1970s article. Despite his interest in music, Mayorga enrolled in Santa Monica College as a respiratory therapy major. It was there during registration, in 1981, that he met Muir, who recruited him for this new group he was assembling. Trujillo ties Suicidal Tendencies’ success to its original line-up. “What came after that was very special, too, but Lou has always been an amazing player in my mind,” Trujillo said. “I hear the intricate technique and feel and presence. He may be an underrated player. So many people love the early stuff. Bass was an important aspect in Suicidal Tendencies. Obviously, Mike and I took it a different direction but Mike loves the bass guitar.”
Luicidal’s members are bassist Mayorga (back left), vocalist Mando Ochoa (back right), drummer R.J Herrera (middle left) and guitarist Marty Ramirez (middle right). Mayorga’s daughter Paloma (front) sings with H.R. of Bad Brains on the band’s debut album, recorded by Barry Conley at Outer Space studio in Venice.
while Mayorga laid down bass for another. “I was super stoned and I forgot that they had changed the set list,” Mayorga said. Through it all, Mayorga has kept largely on good terms with friends and bandmates. The Song Remains the Same “He’s always been a funny guy and a Mayorga laughs about the whole surreal good friend,” Herrera said. “Lou’s been enchilada that’s been his journey. As it would turn out, Suicidal Tendencies a brother to me, and I’ll back him for whatever he needs help with. He’s been wasn’t the only high-profile outfit to fire there for me and he’s been there for a lot him. Weed-obsessed rap group Cypress of people.” Hill hired Mayorga for its backing band on a festival tour and Mayorga made the Luicidal plays at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at mistake of saying yes to some very potent The Roxy Theatre, 9009 W.

‘A very humbling experience’ Then, in 1988, the bottom fell out for Mayorga. After piercing popular culture like an ice pick, Mayorga was unceremoniously ejected from the band, replaced briefly by former No Mercy bassist Ric “Rancid” Clayton (who had designed Suicidal’s logo and T-shirts), followed by Bob Heathcote and eventually Trujillo. Herrera chalks up Mayorga’s firing to being young and wild: “The drinking, the partying, the travel. It was tough. There were some lapses of playing and concentration on stuff.” Mayorga said he felt anger and depression in the wake of his departure. “It was a very humbling experience,” Mayorga said. “I had to work, my kid was coming. For a while, I couldn’t even hear my music from back in the day. It brought back negative feelings.” Today, any bad blood between Mayorga and Muir is “water under the bridge,” he said. “I was buck wild too back then. They made that decision. That’s what it is.” A year after he was fired, Mayorga assembled Horny Toad, featuring singer Caviar, guitarist Moises Casillas and drummer Troy, playing psychedelic rock/ ska/Rastafarian fusion as a reaction to his firing.
“I turned my back on the whole heavy punk scene,” said Mayorga, whose Horny found some MTV success with the song “Shiver.” Second album “Cheese” included Herrera and keyboardist Anthony “Brew” Brewster of the House of Vibe All-Stars, a resident band at Harvelle’s in Santa Monica. In the 1990s and 2000s, however, Mayorga found himself adrift in the music industry. Across two decades he worked for Fishbone as a stagehand, even getting recognized and accosted for autographs during their shows. And when Fishbone performed their cover of “Institutionalized” with Rocky George, Mayorga began longing to be onstage again.

You might figure that there’s no better way to get the feel of Venice than to walk down Abbot Kinney Boulevard. The excitement of the area is reflected in the constantly changing restaurant scene — year in and year out there are new chefs, new names and new ideas. Or you can get in touch with the real neighborhood — the one with a more easygoing, bohemian vibe — by heading a block west and visiting Brick House Kitchen. This café has been in business for more than 20 years and hasn’t changed much; the biggest news in over a decade
happened about two months ago, when they stopped serving pizzas and shifted to offering barbecue. But you better move quickly. The restaurant announced this week that it will close by the end of the month, with hopes to return someday at another location. Unlike most restaurants near Abbot Kinney, Brick House Kitchen has its own parking lot. On a recent morning we got a
sneakers serving the inside and outside tables by herself. The rest of my party was fixated on breakfast and ordered a breakfast burrito as well as a tomato, spinach and feta omelet, and eggs Florentine — a common variation on eggs Benedict that, at Brick House, is poached eggs with spinach, ham and mushrooms in mushroom cream sauce on olive bread. I always find it difficult to resist barbecue, and after our server checked with the kitchen she told me they could serve me a half-rack of ribs. I couldn’t resist and added a bowl of baked beans with chorizo on the side. Whether the kitchen was as understaffed that day as the front of the house, went well out of its way for my request or simply moves at a leisurely pace, it took some time for our meal to arrive — but when it did everything was hot.

cheery welcome from a server who handed us menus and then raced to serve another table. We soon figured out that she was so busy because she was working alone on a Saturday morning. Perhaps someone else didn’t show up for work, but she sure put a lot of mileage on her

were freshly made and warm, the greens on the Florentine fresh, so things had not sat under a heat lamp. The Florentine was the best of the breakfast-style items, the sauce flavorful and the egg poached to the standards of the very-picky-about-these-things person who had ordered it. We liked the hashed browns, too — they’re made to order and can be ordered with or without bell pepper and onion. The breakfast burrito was huge and stuffed to the structural limits of the tortilla with hashed browns, eggs, black beans, bacon and both cheddar and mozzarella cheese. It was decent if slightly bland — salsa was available on the side, but a dash of sauce or spice in the burrito would have been welcome. As for the omelet, it came with fruit and toast and was big, fluffy and nicely stuffed, which is all one can ask for. While there are relatively few ways to make an omelet (you either do it right or you don’t), there’s a lot of latitude for both creativity and regional expression when it comes to barbecue.

Whether the meat is rubbed with spices before cooking, what type of wood is used, the decision to smoke it before going to full heat, the amount of chili and vinegar in the sauce — many books have been written on this subject, with too many variations to mention in a single review. At Brick House they rub the ribs with spice and slow-smoke them, adding a thick, peppery sauce just before serving. This style of barbecue is usually associated with Texas, and as someone who has enjoyed a lot of Lone Star State ‘que in its native habitat, I have to say that they got it right. The rack was meaty and substantial; the meat had been rubbed with mild spices, then slow-smoked so that it was tender but not quite falling off the bone. The sauce had a kick of red pepper, black pepper and other spices but wasn’t hot just for heat’s sake. All in all it was surprisingly good and authentic, certainly in the running for the title of Best Barbecue West of the 405. I’ll get the sauce served on the side next time so I can sample the meat on its own; I’d certainly have this again. I’d order the beans too, because the subtle

Brick House Kitchen lives up to its name hint of chorizo flavor was a nice touch. We finished with a berry crepe, a delightful extravagance that was dusted with powdered sugar and served with freshly whipped cream. The lacy pancake stuffed with fresh strawberries and blueberries was a delightful finish. The bill for the four of us with one dessert and coffees was $75. Had we ordered this at one of the places on Abbot Kinney I would have expected to pay rather more for it. I certainly hope to try their other barbecue items and sides, because based on this experience there’s an artist running their smoker. Note: The menu posted online is not current.

REAL ESTATE Q&A What will be the effect of all the Baby Boomers Retiring? – Part 2 of 2 Homeowners in California do not tend to rent upon retirement. In fact, homeownership for those aged 75 and older remains 17% higher than for any age group under 50. Moreover, the percentage of citizens over 75 owning homes grew even through the recession, and is currently near its highest level since 2002. Homeownership is a well-entrenched habit among the Boomer generation, a fact not likely to change because of increased age. However, this does not mean retirees remain stationary. Sooner or later they decide to move to a new location that has a better climate or is closer to other family members. With their collective savings and equity, most will have the resources to do this with ease. Retirees have traditionally moved to smaller, more conveniently-located properties that are closer to urban centers. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that in 2013, approximately 13 percent of the population in California’s metropolitan areas is 65 or older. To complicate Boomer relocation, the younger generation is better educated and more mobile, migrating with increasing frequency to the cities. Their parents are likely to follow. They will be attracted by the increased access to public transportation, the proximity to cultural and artistic institutions and, not least important, the closeness of their children and grandchildren. As more senior citizens retire, interest will increase in condos and other high-density residences that cater to the urban lifestyle. Ownership of rental properties, which allow a more flexible and mobile lifestyle, is more cost-effective than ownership of SFRs and thus will most likely also see a bump. As retirees begin to relocate, opportunities will arise for real estate brokers and their agents to assist. The most directly affected housing developments will be those that cater specifically to the needs of senior citizens. California law exempts seniors-only housing developments from ordinary restrictions on age discrimination. As the demand for senior housing increases, more developers and landlords will take advantage of this exemption. The range in pricing of high-density, or high-rise, housing will also work to separate the more wealthy (retirees) from the less wealthy younger generation.

Expansion of existing SFRs to accommodate new relatives-as-tenants is another phenomenon that will increase. California legislation has paved the way in this area. In 2003, the legislature required cities to permit the construction of what are generally referred to as ‘casitas’ or ‘granny flats;’ attached, freestanding or over-the-garage apartments with no direct access to the main house. The construction of such a flat transforms an SFR into a two-unit property within singlefamily zoning, a first step in California’s more efficient use of land. Casitas are sometimes used by homeowners to gain extra rental income, but they are most often used initially as a new residence for elderly relatives or in-laws. Increased living density will thus be the case not only for cities, but also for suburban areas, which will reap the benefits of a more closeknit and energy-efficient population, namely a better fiber of social, civic and cultural life, and the development of restaurants, theaters, bars, entertainment and specialty shops. The vast majority of retirees will continue to pursue some form of traditional ownership. As these retirees begin to relocate, opportunities will arise for real estate brokers and their agents to assist them in their transition. Farsighted hometown brokers will prepare for migration now, offering relocation services to Boomers who move locally. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that 50 percent of senior citizens who relocate choose to move to a new residence within the same community. On the other hand, the impact of the geriatric shift on the sale of suburban homes in California may be ameliorated by emigration. Many retirees have historically chosen to leave California for states with lower cost of living and a more relaxed, “retirementfriendly” reputation. Foremost among these retirement states are Florida, Texas and Arizona. Those with lower retirement pensions may relocate to Mexico. Brokers can be of service to these sellers/homebuyers as well. They need to take the opportunity to suggest new residences in retirement-friendly communities where the broker has established contacts with cooperating brokers, and profit from fee-splitting for referrals on these locations. This week’s question is answered by Carrie B. Reyes, firsttuesday Journal Online firsttuesdayjournal.com, P.O. Box 5705, Riverside, CA 92517.

Star power for a purpose Robert G. Zuckerman shows celebrity portraits shot on movie sets to raise awareness of adult polyglucosan body disease
Zuckerman’s portraits of Marcello Mastroianni (left), Morgan Freeman, Kate Winslet and Faye Dunaway go on display Sunday in Santa Monica By Michael Aushenker Al Pacino on the set of “Any Given Sunday,” Will Smith on the set of “Bad Boys 2,” a hard-earned portrait of Faye Dunaway during the 1993 filming of “The Temp”— as a photographer for movie and television shoots, Robert Zuckerman began shooting the stars in the early 1990s. His extensive unit and special photography credits also include a batch of Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer films — the first three “Transformers,” the “National Treasure” movies and “Pain and Gain” among them — as well as TV shows “Justified,” “Rescue Me” and “American Horror Story.” He’s also shot for magazines such as Vanity Fair, Time and Entertainment Weekly, and album covers for Bonnie Raitt and Megadeth. “Portraits,” an exhibit showing some of Zuckerman’s favorite images over the years, opens on Sunday at the Edgemar Center for the Arts in Santa Monica. Hosted by Michelle Danner and Alexandra Guarnieri, “Portraits” is dedicated to raising awareness of adult polyglucosan body disease, a crippling and untreatable genetic disease that has afflicted Zuckerman and taken him out of the Hollywood scene.

“Portraits” includes 20 pieces that, in 2012 and 2013, hung at LT Bar & Grill in Manhattan. Prior to “Portraits,” Zuckerman had mounted a half-dozen shows at the Edgemar since 2005. These included his “Kindsight” series, celebrating “the riches of everyday life random encounters” as positive forward motion in the wake of the horrors of the 9-11 attacks. “Kindsight” images currently hang in Cedars-Sinai’s permanent collection. Due to his condition and other family issues, Zuckerman retired from set photography and relocated to Miami about two years ago. “It was disheartening because I really gave 200% to people,” he said. However, he’s keeping busy teaching at Florida National University and is proud of his career. “I really love taking photos that help the project overall,” Zuckerman said. “When you have good intentions, it somehow comes through with the results.” “Portraits” opens from 2 to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday and runs through March 31 at the Edgemar Center for the Arts, 2437 Main St., Santa Monica.

Webster was photographing Natalie Wood at Serra Retreat in Malibu when a bloated, bearded Morrison came barreling down the road. Morrison told Webster he was moving to France. Webster was relocating to Spain (where he still has a home today). Webster intended to hang out with Morrison in Europe, but fate had different plans: Morrison was found dead at his Paris apartment on July 3, 1971, before the two of them reunited. Whether telling Morrison to take off his shirt or riding the Palm Springs tram with the Beach Boys, Webster said he’s enjoyed excellent experiences working with musicians, despite their reputations, except for one group: the Holy Modal Rounders. When he arrived at the New York psychedelic folk-rockers’ hotel room, he found a band in disrepair and apparently very, very high. “They were naked on the bed. The girl in the group got and peed on my tripod,” he said. “I never had any trouble with any of the rock people, except with that group.” A charmed life These days, Webster enjoys creative carte blanche and is currently shooting portraits of visual artists. “Most are from Venice. Ed Moses, Larry Bell, Ed Ruscha — also some punk rockers,” he said. “I’m doing more of what I want to do.” Webster is also helping Boud construct the Napa Valley Museum exhibit, which opens in Yountville on Feb. 7 and runs through Mar. 15. They are selecting about 60 pieces, including Webster’s cover art
for The Mamas and The Papas’ “If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears,” the Stones single “Paint It Black” and McGuire’s “Eve of Destruction.” Boud believes she knows why Webster’s art had an edge over other entertainment photography. “There’s just a real naturalness to the photos,” said Boud. “He was very close with the bands. He would hang out with them. He wasn’t always the photographer; he was also their friend. He really got a feel for their personalities and where they were more comfortable.” Introducing Jim Morrison to Natalie Wood, hobnobbing with Ed Moses, dividing your time between Southern California and Spain — does it get any better? “My whole life is like that,” Webster said. Webster signs his book, on sale for $75, from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday at In Heroes We Trust, 300 Westminster Ave., Venice. Call (310) 310-8820 or visit inheroeswetrust.com. For more information on the Napa Valley exhibit, visit napavalleymuseum.org. Five Webster photos — portraits of Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, Michelle and Chynna Phillips, Bobby Darin and Jim Morrison — will be go display in February at the Forest Lawn Museum in Glendale. “Revolutions 2,” focused on graphic artists in the music industry, opens Feb. 28 at the museum, 1712 S.

Obituary raúl J. Mondragón June 3, 1931 - Dec. 27, 2014 Raúl Joseph Mondragón was born June 3, 1931 in Lesioux, Minn. He was the eldest son of Marcos Mondragón and Maria Luisa Mandujano both from Tacambaro, Michoacan, Mexico. His siblings were Ruben Mondragón of Lansing, Ill., Marcos (Veve) Mondragón (deceased) formerly of Frankfort, Ill., and Esther Arredondo of Elkhart, Ind. His parents moved to South Deering, Ill., where he grew up and attended Orville T. Bright Grade School, Chicago Vocational School and DeVry Technical Institute. Raul served his country in the Korean War. Upon his return, Raúl married Nattie Alcalá, a childhood friend in 1955 and they moved in 1956 to California, where they settled in Westchester and became longtime parishioners at the Church of the Visitation. Raúl and Nattie were blessed with 8 children, Raúl (stillborn), Maria, Martin, Marguerite, Michael, Michelle, Mercedes, and Linda. Raúl embraced the gift of family with a quiet, joyful, simplicity, sometimes even having to take on two full-time jobs. He was a faithful employee with Hughes Aircraft-Space & Communications Division in Southern California for 36 years and diligently worked his way up to the title of electrical engineer. Raúl also gave some of his time in community service. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus Fr. Kapaun Council No. 3744 in Playa del Rey/Westchester. He loved his fellow knights and served them as their grand knight and lead the fish fry. Raul later moved to Oregon. He was loved and respected by those who knew him at Evergreen Court and Baycrest Village in North Bend where he resided. He was a parishioner at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. Raúl had nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Raúl died peacefully on Dec. 27, 2014, at Baycrest Village. Raul was truly a blessed man. The services for Raúl will be at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in North Bend, OR on Thursday, Jan. 15. The rosary will be at 10 a.m. and the funeral Mass at 11 a.m. A reception will follow in the parish hall. Interment will be limited to family. Arrangements are pending with Coos Bay Chapel, 541267-3131. January 15, 2015 ARGONAUT PaGE PAGE 37 January 15, 2015 THETHE arGOnauT
