L e tt e r s Women’s March Was a Waste Re: “#HearOurVoices: Women’s March Los Angeles organizers want to ignite a new wave of civil rights activism,” Cover Story, Jan. 19 These women’s marches against Donald Trump are a total waste of time, as they will change nothing. President Donald Trump will not listen to what they have to say and probably does not care. Why should he? Millions of women voted for Trump and that helped put him in the White House. All the shouting and the marches that are really protests will be heard only by the protesters themselves. No one else is listening. George Vreeland Hill Beverly Hills Wake, Resist, Repeat Re: “#HearOurVoices,” Cover Story, Jan. 19 Terrific timing with the front page story on Women’s March Los Angeles local organizers Emiliana Guereca and Deena Katz. And what a march! Well over three times the size anyone expected.

This hugely successful gathering was just the spark needed to ignite the activism needed to confront the times: cutbacks to health care, impositions on women’s rights and the president himself. And like clockwork, the movement for impeachment has begun. One sign I read at the march: 1) Wake up, 2) Coffee, 3) Resist, 4) Resist, 5) Resist, 6) Repeat. So, let’s wake up! Andy K. Liberman Santa Monica Alternative Facts = Lies No argument is too petty for little Donald when it comes to assertions about size. While photographic evidence confirms the crowd that witnessed his inauguration was half the size that celebrated President Obama’s inauguration, Trump chose to claim the opposite and make a fuss about “media bias.” His official representative, Kellyanne Conway, went even further, saying Trump’s claim is based on “alternative facts.” This is not the first time the blowhard candidate and then president-elect made claims based on verifiable un-

truths. Let’s call “alternative facts” what they are; they are lies. Now, as president of the United States, Trump’s prevarications pose a direct threat to our free society, which depends on engaged citizens informed by true facts. Government officials calling their lies “alternative facts” endangers the very foundation of our democracy. Patriotic appreciation to news reporters who check the facts and point out the lies.

Women Are People Too The primary message of Saturday’s massive demonstration in downtown Los Angeles was to reaffirm the Golden Rule Putting national politics and our new president’s size-related insecurities aside for a few paragraphs, let’s just say that being part of Women’s March Los Angeles on Saturday felt pretty awesome. A river of hundreds of thousands of people flowed from Pershing Square to Los Angeles City Hall without incident or a single arrest — from several points inside the crowd, in fact, the mood was as friendly and buoyant as a neighborhood block party. People brought their kids and dogs. They made signs imbued with humor. Instead of honking in frustration or rage, drivers stuck waiting for overflow crowds to pass actually high-fived marchers as they streamed past. If only Disneyland crowds and drivers on the 405 could be so polite. Staff writer Christina Campodonico, managing editor Joe Piasecki and regular Argonaut contributors Beige LucianoAdams, Stephanie Case, Nicole Elizabeth Payne and Ted Soqui each shot photos and videos for live coverage on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and for this week’s print edition. Maria Martin documented similar positive vibes at the Women’s March on Washington. In general, our experiences covering the march affirmed that people can still treat others with dignity and kindness. Which brings us back to national politics, an arena where such values are sorely lacking as of late. There’s no denying that vast numbers of participants marched to challenge and oppose President Trump, who took the bait by accusing the media of downplaying the size of his inauguration crowd. Those ubiquitous pink “pussy hats” and all the cat-themed signs in L.A. and D.C. were a direct and unmistakable rebuke of the notion that men in power can degrade and even sexually assault women — or as Trump bragged in that leaked “Access Hollywood” tape, “Grab them by the pussy.”

U2 guitarist The Edge and singer Juliette Lewis surprised marchers with a rendition of “Pride (In the Name of Love)” on a small stage at 6th Street and Broadway.

Asked if the high turnout for Women’s March Los Angeles gave her hope, actress Jamie Lee Curtis said, “I took a left on Hope, baby.”

Affirmations of a woman’s right to be treated with basic human dignity comingled with signs and speeches in solidarity with other groups who felt threatened by the rhetoric of the presidential campaign — immigrants, minority

“To be honest with you, I wish we didn’t have to do this. In 2017, the fact that our bodies are under threat is unconscionable,” said journalist Lisa Ling.

communities, Muslim-Americans and the LGBTQ community in particular. But during the march that big tent included straight white men and street vendors and police officers, too — everybody.

As Mike Bonin, who represents Westside neighborhoods on the L.A. City Council, put it during his time addressing the crowd at Pershing Square: “Together we are united for women, for immigrants, for [the] LGBT community, the homeless, to end poverty, to end gun violence, to stand up for justice, to stand up for everyone.” “I felt that I had to participate in events like this to support human rights, not just women’s rights, but human rights,” said Ellen Klein, a member of the Westchester-Playa Democratic Club and one of 48 people who traveled from Westchester to the march via a chartered bus. “There was a great energy and spirit — that feeling of community and coming together for a cause and making our voices heard.” We don’t expect those who support President Trump to go around celebrating the turnout at Women’s March Los Angeles. But to dismiss it outright as a dead-end kumbaya moment by a bunch of precious snowflakes (a current groupthink social media meme) who didn’t vote for your guy would be to also dismiss some of the positive values that participants actively affirmed: Guys can’t lay hands on women with impunity. People who don’t look like you or think like you or agree with you are people too. Those who marched on Saturday and those who cheer the arrival of President Trump have a lot of differences to work through in finding solutions to the many complicated problems that divide our nation. Solving these problems is not going to be easy, and getting there will certainly involve disagreement and political strife. But if those on the left and those on the right can rise above the temptation to denigrate others during the many arguments to come, we’ll all be a lot better off for it.

Scenes from the Women’s March on Washington Photographs by Maria Martin

t least 470,000 people swarmed the nation’s capital on Saturday to participate in the Women’s March on Washington, a historic demonstration of solidarity and strength among those who oppose anticipated federal policy shifts that would erode civil rights or demonize minority groups. “The rhetoric of the past election cycle has insulted, demonized and threatened many of us,” event organizers wrote in a call to action. “We join in diversity to show our presence in numbers too great to ignore.” Participation in the Women’s March on Washington was triple the attendance of Friday’s inauguration of President Donald Trump, according to crowd-counting experts who studied aerial photographs. PAGE 6 THE ARGONAUT January 26, 2017

Sister marches in more than 650 cities on Saturday drew as many as 2.9 million participants in America and more than 4.8 million around the world. Linda Lucks, a longtime progressive activist and former president of the Venice Neighborhood Council, was one of many Westside women who attended the march. “It was wall-to-wall people all in pink pussy hats,” said Lucks, referring to the cat-eared knit caps that became the first global fashion trend of 2017. “Being with so many women lifted the sadness and grief, and it gives me hope and a strong sense of solidarity, purpose and commitment to fight to defend our rights as women and for all people. We will not be moved.”

undreds of thousands of people flooded the streets of downtown Los Angeles on Saturday for Women’s March Los Angeles, with participants denouncing the divisive rhetoric of the recent presidential election and pledging solidarity with groups who feel threatened by it. Turnout was much larger than expected, with estimates ranging from 350,000 people all the way to 750,000 — so many that LAPD officers had to close down additional streets to accommodate the flood of marchers heading from Pershing Square to L.A. City Hall. The peaceful and at times even celebratory procession prompted not even one arrest, according to police. Public figures who attended the march included Lisa Ling, Kerry Washington,

4 Miley Cyrus, Regina Spektor, Jaime Lee Curtis, Barbara Streisand and Jane Fonda as well as Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, County Supervisor Janice Hahn and City Councilman Mike Bonin. Mar Vista resident Sarah DeAratanha, 26, said she marched in support of diverse communities and progressive values. “I’m here to support women. I’m here to support Muslim women and Jewish women and gay people and bi-people and everyone on the LGBTQ-plus spectrum,” she said. “I just feel in this day and age, my generation needs to step forward and fight against what’s going on in the world and to make sure future generations and us can grow up in a world that is just a better place.”

5 1 Hundreds of thousands of women, men and kids — as many as 750,000 people, according to organizers — flooded downtown streets on Saturday for Women’s March Los Angeles. 2 A group of young women gathered on the edge of the crowd near L.A. City Hall carrying messages of fierceness and kindness. 3 Marchers’ signs invoked the legacies of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Michelle Obama and progressive movements past and present.

By Gary Walker For more than five years, Westchester and Playa del Rey public safety advocates and members of their business communities have been vociferously advocating for more police patrols. A plan announced last week by City Councilman Mike Bonin to put more LAPD officers in patrol cars has given them a reason to believe their wishes may soon become reality. “It’s been something that we’ve been paying attention to and requesting for a very long time,” said David Voss, a Playa del Rey resident and a member of the LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce Executive Committee. Against the backdrop of a police recruitment training center in Westchester, Bonin laid out a 10-point plan to bolster more community policing in his district and throughout the city by redeploying officers from various other positions to patrol units. “Community policing is a cornerstone of public safety. Too often I hear from constituents that they rarely see a patrol car in their neighborhood, or that it takes LAPD too long to respond to an emergency call. Our neighborhoods deserve better. We need more patrol officers in Westside neighborhoods and in neighborhoods around the city,” Bonin said at the Jan. 19 press conference. Both Bonin and Voss noted that since the planned community of Playa Vista was built in 2003, the LAPD’s Pacific Division — which patrols Westchester, Playa del Rey, Playa Vista, Del Rey, Mar Vista, Venice and other Westside neighborhoods — has not deployed any additional patrol officers. In 2015 there was an uptick in both violent crime and property crime in the Pacific Division’s territory, according to LAPD statistics. Through data put together during a nearly year-long effort led by council office legislative director John Gregory, Bonin learned that as the LAPD’s number of sworn officers increased from nearly 7,000 in the late 1970s to almost 10,000 today, the number of officers on patrol actually diminished.

L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin wants to put more cops in patrol cars In 1978, then-Chief Daryl Gates moved a significant number of the LAPD’s 7,016 officers away from patrol duties in favor of bolstering specialized units, according to Bonin’s office.

As the LAPD’s number of sworn officers increased from nearly 7,000 in the late 1970s to almost 10,000 today, the number of officers on patrol actually diminished. “Today, with more officers than at any time in the LAPD’s history, patrol deployment levels do not appear to have increased and response times do not appear to have improved,” the report states. “The numbers paint a clear picture of where our priorities have been, and it unfortunately hasn’t been in having patrol officers in our neighborhoods,” added Bonin, who is seeking reelection in March. “We have to reevaluate, reemphasize and redeploy our officers to fit our priorities.” On Jan. 20, Bonin submitted a motion to the City Council to instruct the LAPD and other municipal agencies to report back to the council how daily deployment and patrol staffing are determined and to return with strategies for a “more realistic and robust” patrol staffing level formula. Elements of Bonin’s plan include redeploying sworn officers from less-essential functions and from specialized units into routine patrol support duties, creating a “constant staffing” mechanism and overtime policy to cover vacan-

Ryavec, president of the Venice Stakeholders Association and one of two Venice residents running against Bonin for his council seat, accused Bonin of “stealing his proposal” for new patrols. Ryavec noted that he has been calling on LAPD to change its operational structure for police patrols in Venice for almost four years. “So, after three and a half years of ignoring residents’ complaints that policing levels are unsafe in Council District 11, Bonin is following my lead to change deployment protocols,” Ryavec wrote in an email. Steven Barkan, Bonin’s campaign consultant, dismissed Ryavec as “careless with the facts” and called his claims “outlandish and inaccurate.” Bonin’s other challenger, former Venice Neighborhood Council member Robin Rudisill, supports the proposal but also questioned its timing, calling the press conference “11th-hour posturing.” “I don’t understand why it took him until almost the end of his term to figure this out,” Rudisill said.

Robbery Turns Deadly at Mar Vista Medical Marijuana Dispensary

Hatchet-Wielding Suspect Killed by Police During Westchester Pursuit

LAPD detectives are searching for two suspects in a fatal shooting at a Mar Vista medical marijuana dispensary that left one man dead. Officers called to the Golden State Group dispensary at 12480 Venice Boulevard at 11:30 a.m. on Jan. 18 found 50-year-old Ouik Oganesyan of Glendale dead of multiple gunshot wounds to the torso, a shooting that appears to have occurred during a robbery, said Lt. David Smith of the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office. According to police, a witness saw a man and woman wearing hoodies enter the dispensary before the killing.

The man who led El Segundo police on a Jan. 19 car chase that ended with police killing him in Westchester was shot by officers because he threatened them with a deadly weapon, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s investigators. Lt. Joe Mendoza, a Sheriff’s Department homicide investigator, said the assault suspect was wielding a hatchet and refused commands to surrender after leading police on a dangerous pursuit into oncoming traffic that ended on Kentwood Avenue near Manchester Avenue. “The suspect exited the vehicle through the driver’s side window and jumped on the hood of one of the patrol cars. He was holding the hatchet in a threatening manner and the officers were forced to use deadly force,” Mendoza said. Mendoza said the suspect was shot at least once in the torso and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Mar Vista residents have been largely resistant to medical marijuana dispensaries in their community, organizing in 2013 to successfully stop a dispensary from opening at 3472 Centinela Ave., less than a block away from Golden State Group. At the urging of locals and L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin, L.A. City Attorney Mike Feuer took legal action to prevent the dispensary from opening. Police are asking anyone with additional information about the crime to call LAPD West Bureau homicide detectives at (213) 382-9470.

Weekend Storm Brings Record-Setting Rainfall to LAX Photo by Martin Jacob Lopez

Four El Segundo officers were involved. El Segundo police began the chase after receiving a 911 call at 12:25 p.m. about a man wielding a hatchet and threatening bystanders at Imperial Avenue and McCarthy Court. The suspect had left the area but officers later encountered him at Washington Street and Sycamore Avenue. “When suspect noticed officers he fled the scene north toward Westchester in a white 2000 Isuzu Trooper SUV, and at some point during the pursuit he traveled westbound on Manchester Avenue on the east side of the street before turning into a residential neighborhood,” Mendoza said. Mendoza said police attempted to use what is known as a PIT maneuver — a police pursuit technique designed to make a speeding vehicle turn sideways and stop — but were unable to execute it.

Hidden Treasures Universal Jewelers’ former owner faces grand theft charges over $400,000 in jewelry that disappeared when the store closed By Gary Walker Los Angeles County prosecutors are pursuing felony grand theft charges against the woman who owned Universal Jewelers nearly 16 months after the store’s abrupt closure left customers searching for gold, diamonds and other valuables left on consignment or for repair. The longtime retailer in the Waterside at Marina del Rey shopping plaza closed without warning in October 2015 after the death of co-owner Arnold Rose, which gave wife Yupa Kalayar control of the store. Kalayar, 39, was arrested on April 1 in Marina del Rey on one charge of felony grand theft and was released on $500,000 bail the following day. Kalayar was rearrested for a separate grand theft charge on Dec. 15 and immediately posted $70,000 bail. “We have filed a case against Ms. Kalayar charging her with the theft of over $400,000 of jewelry,” Head Deputy District Attorney Richard Doyle said. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department investigators later recovered much of the jewelry that had gone missing from Universal after searching various pawn shops throughout the area, said Det. Randy Lopez of the sheriff’s fraud and cybercrimes bureau, who took over the case from the Marina del Rey investigators. Capt. Joseph Stephen of the Marina del Rey Sheriff’s Station said the complexity of the Universal Jewelers investigation has been an eye-opener for his detectives. “I’ve never seen anything like this is in over 30 years in law enforcement,” Stephen told The Argonaut. Kalayar, who opened a new jewelry store in Long Beach in March, is scheduled to appear at the Airport Courthouse in Westchester on Feb. 3 for an arraignment hearing, Doyle said. But some of Universal’s more outraged former customers are taking matters into their own hands by suing Kalayar to recover their property. Playa Vista resident Anita Eisenschiml won a small claims judgment against Kalayar in

Universal Jewelers closed without notice in October 2015 January 2016 for $7,875, but thus far she has been unable to collect. “I was told by one insurance company that even if the merchandise was insured it would have to be the company that would make the claim,” Eisenschiml said incredulously. “So Universal would have had to make a claim, which of course would have been fraudulent.

wedding rings and other jewelry designed by them.” Shelia Ingram said she had entrusted Universal with three pieces of jewelry worth as much as $10,000, none of which she has been able to locate since the store shuttered. “They should throw all of the culprits in jail,” Ingram asserted. “I miss my jewelry and want it back.”

Where to Turn when Your Home Doesn’t Sell

If your home has just come off the market and hasn’t sold, don’t be discouraged. The reason your home did not sell may have nothing to do with your home or the market. In reality, your home may have been one of the more desirable properties for sale. So Why Didn’t Your Home Sell? Last year many of the homes listed for sale never sold at all, and many sellers found that there was a tremendous amount a homeowner needed to be educated on to sell their home for top dollar in the shortest time period. Don’t risk making the wrong choices and losing both time and money on your investment.

“I’ve never seen anything like this is in over 30 years in law enforcement.” —Capt. Joseph Stephen, Marina del Rey Sheriff’s Station “I guess this type of crime does pay.” Carolyn Hemann did not have any jewelry on consignment with Universal but suffered the same fate as those who did. The Westchester resident took her Rolex watch to the jeweler for repairs in 2015 and was shocked when the store closed without notification or instructions for retrieving personal property. She estimates her watch was worth about $4,000. “In addition to that, I had paid [Universal] another $2,375 for the repair of my watch and a down payment for platinum cufflinks that they still have. I am just sick about it, and was incensed when I found out that Yupa had opened another jewelry store in Long Beach,” Hemann said. “Universal was referred to me by multiple people who swore by them. They had their

When Kalayar owned Universal Jewelers, she was represented by Dana Douglas, a Granada Hills attorney. But not anymore. “I no longer represent Ms. Kalayar. She retained new counsel in 2016,” Douglas said. Doyle said that Kalayar does not presently have an attorney on record with the court. “If she does not have one on Feb. 3, one will be appointed for her on that day,” Doyle said. Ingram said she had spoken with Douglas about her jewelry but never heard from Kalayar. “I trusted Universal Jewelers, particularly since we designed and created one of the pieces together before they had moved to this locale. I remember the owner and his wife,” she said. “I had been a customer for years. Who knew?” gary@argonautnews.com

Disruptive Aeronautics Taking a page from Uber and Airbnb, JetSuiteX plans to offer low-cost seats on private jets flying out of Santa Monica Airport — even if the city says no By Beige Luciano-Adams While the city of Santa Monica’s standoff with the federal government over the fate of Santa Monica Airport awaits its days in court, a more immediate patch of turbulence illustrates the divisive row between municipal and federal authority — or, at least, the attached commercial and strategic interests. JetSuite, which has been operating private charter flights out of SMO for the past several years, is now gearing up to launch an SMO outpost of JetSuiteX — a “public charter” service offering the convenience and comfort of private jet travel at prices competitive with commercial air travel out of LAX. JetSuiteX aims to begin flight service from SMO to Las Vegas, Carlsbad and San Jose on Feb. 6. Compared to the thousands of dollars per-hour you’d pay for a private charter, JetSuiteX individual fares start as low as $29 each way. And the 1.5-hour schlep to make it through security becomes a 15-minute advance arrival to fly with upgraded service on small carriers (four to 30 seats). In a Jan. 14 article, forbes.com heralded the company as “redefining private jet travel”; comparisons to Uber disrupting taxi service and Airbnb upending the hotel business come to mind. There’s just one problem: The city has rejected JetSuiteX’s application to operate out of SMO. On Jan. 12 the city manager’s office made public a letter to the company outlining its “incomplete” paperwork. Presumably, JetSuiteX (operating as “Delux Public Charter”) would need the approval and cooperation of the airport in order to fly. With the advertised launch date less than two weeks away, time is running out. However, as of this writing JetSuite showed no signs of retreat, having already sold out tickets — ranging from a $219 SMO to Vegas “plus” fare down to just $29 from SMO to Carlsbad — on several days in February. JetSuite CEO Alex Wilcox is unfazed by the city’s rejection. “We’ve got a federal right to operate there, and that’s our position. We’re going to show up on the 6th of February and take advantage of our right,” he told The Argonaut. Santa Monica City Manager Rick Cole, of course, sees things differently: “They’re selling tickets to something they don’t have a legal right to do,” he said. PAGE 12 THE ARGONAUT January 26, 2017

The Devil in the Details

In a Jan. 17 letter to SMO Manager Stelios Makrides, JetSuite makes a critical distinction between “commercial” operations, as the city has characterized JetSuiteX, and “public charters.” According to Capt. Ross Aimer, a retired United Airlines pilot and CEO of Aero Consulting Experts (Disclosure: Aimer worked for JetSuite after retirement), herein lies the crux: A loophole JetSuiteX discovered in FAR 135 — a federal regulation that allows a sort of “publicprivate” charter. “This allows JetSuite to operate out of an FBO [fixed-base operation, in this case Atlantic Aviation, one of the tenants currently fighting eviction from SMO]. It

JetSuiteX plans fall within the scope of the city’s EIR (in the airport’s 1983 Master Plan), does not “change the operation of the facility,” and is therefore exempt. “They’re trying to put themselves in place of the FAA and regulate interstate commerce,” Wilcox said, calling the city’s rejection “a power grab” and likening it to the city council “putting up a blockade at every entrance to the 10 Freeway” and making drivers fill out an EIR. “Our position is essentially that we have every federal authority to operate, the people of Santa Monica deserve to use their airport, and we’re going to fight hard to make sure they have every opportunity to do so,” Wilcox said.

“Jet Suite will actually be providing service the average citizen can afford. They can get to Carlsbad or Las Vegas or San Jose without having to schlep to LAX.” — JetSuite CEO Alex Wilcox kind of bypasses the main airport, regular commercial flights. So they’re selling this as public charter,” Aimer said. The day after the city received JetSuite’s letter, the council held a closed-door session with the interim city attorney — presumably to discuss pending cases with the FAA (over closure of the airport and the eviction of two FBO tenants), and the approaching specter of litigation over JetSuiteX. City officials reported taking no public action during that meeting, but in a recent phone call with The Argonaut, Cole drew a hard line in the sand. “We intend to vigorously work to keep them from beginning what we consider — until a [commercial] permit is considered — an illegal operation,” Cole said. “Regardless of their opinion, we are the regulatory body, and they don’t have a permit. We believe they have not sufficiently provided information upon which we can make a decision. In the meantime, they can’t start operating,” he continued. While the city claims the company’s proposed commercial activity qualifies as “air carrier service” and must submit to an environmental analysis guided by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), JetSuite counters that their

Both Sides of the Story

Both claims — JetSuite’s right to access the federal airspace system built with public dollars and the city’s right to regulate use of its airport — are reasonable, Aimer said. In the city’s corner, he added, is the fact that SMO was created for private operation, “so I would think that SMO officials and the city have a very valid point, because now we’re kind of infringing on the intent of the operation of SMO.” Residents concerned about noise and safety who might have accepted private jet charters run through Atlantic Aviation, he reasoned, may now take issue with so-called public charters. “On the other hand,” Aimer added, “because FAA decides who operates in and out of the airport, if they agree [with JetSuite], they have a case too. I would think they both have a case, and perhaps it would have to come to a conclusion in court.” For its part, the FAA sent a singular, cryptic response to various questions concerning its involvement in the dispute: “The FAA’s role is to ensure that airport sponsors comply with federal obligations,” reads the statement, which

points to a 20-page document outlining “Assurances: Airport Sponsors” for grant recipients. In other words, as in the battle over the city’s move to close the airport — wherein the FAA contends SMO received federal grant money and is therefore obligated to remain open until 2023 — it comes down to “grant assurances,” or Santa Monica’s obligations tied to its receipt of federal dollars. Two related federal cases regarding the proposed closure of SMO (in which the FAA is conducting an investigation into the city’s actions) are scheduled for trial later this year, while a hearing on the FAA’s interim cease-and-desist-order issued in the evictions of two FBO tenants is set for a hearing on Feb. 2. For the city, the handy exploitation of a loophole — backed by federal muscle — seems a troubling prospect if it opens the door to commercial operations at a private airport marked for closure.

National Network, Local Concern

Beneath all of this is the existential question of SMO. Bill Semos, assistant director of Loyola Marymount’s MBA program and a 36-year airline industry veteran, put the current crisis in a broader context: Across the country, he explained, many once peripheral airports were expected to shut down before ultimately expanding (e.g., Love Field in Dallas, Chicago Midway, LaGuardia, Reagan National in D.C.). “These airports became institutionalized into an aviation system nationwide, so it’s been very difficult to shut them down,” he said. “In the FAA’s view, it is an integrated air transport system across the country. These airports at all levels, from LAX down to the smallest ones, have a role to play in that.” We are the only country in the world, Semos said, that does not have a national system of airports: ours are locally owned, making for a fractured network. “But the FAA, which has very, very specific charges under the law and the role Congress has for them, they’re obligated in their minds to keep this thing together,” he said. But the vigorous community opposition to jet service out of SMO, a topic covered extensively by this and other media outlets, is an uncommon situation. “In this case you have a community saying, ‘No, we don’t want this.’ This is

45 minutes of pure relaxation

A JetSuite plane from its private charter fleet flies over San Francisco unusual. … An airport is a very, very important economic resource for the community,” Semos said. On the other hand, SMO is part of a national air travel system — “so you have the makings of a great debate here.”

toward resolution, but he insists that the city’s approval process remains intact. “Even if we come to the conclusion that we’re going to waive the [requirement for] environmental documents, they still can’t have one in time to start on Feb. 6. So they’ll either voluntarily ‘Pushing the Envelope’ comply with the process or we’ll take In the meantime, Semos said it’s clear enforcement action.” that JetSuiteX is using ticket sales — and Asked whether that action means anticipated public outcry if operations lawsuits, fines or even police blockades, don’t start — to muscle through approvals. Cole demurred, with swagger: “It’s your

Real People Real Stories

“This is the new style of corporate behavior: ‘We’re new, we’re going to operate and see if we can’t get out ahead of regulation.’” — Santa Monica City Manager Rick Cole “This smacks of someone, the company in question, always pushing the envelope,” he said. “They have a very convenient location; they want to start offering more. It’s in effect the building block of starting an airline.” Cole would agree, calling JetSuiteX’s behavior “pretty typical of these socalled ‘disruptive’ technology companies,” citing Uber, Lyft and Airbnb as examples of others that have tried to evade existing laws. “This is the new style of corporate behavior: ‘We’re new, we’re going to operate and see if we can’t get out ahead of regulation,’” Cole said. “Since we’ve seen this pattern before, we know how to deal with it.” Cole said the city does not want to be in court and seeks “intelligent discussion”

job to ask that question, but I’m not going to answer.” While the FAA could conceivably further impose itself in the standoff, Cole is doubtful it will considering that, despite existing legal disputes, “the FAA has upheld our authority to regulate operations at the airport.” Meanwhile, SMO flight traffic opponents Airport2Park Foundation has thrown its support behind a Feb. 4 protest organized by Concerned Residents Against Airport Pollution. Scheduled speakers include Congressman Ted Lieu, who in a recent open letter suggested the FAA is acting as a “shill for corporations,” Santa Monica Mayor Ted Winterer and Los Angeles City Councilmember Mike Bonin.

Think, Create, Inspire Santa Monica hosts ‘Night of Ideas,’ ‘More Art Here’ and Art Los Angeles Contemporary this weekend By Christina Campodonico SoCal may have gotten a good soaking over the past week, but Santa Monica is set for a deluge of creative ideas come this weekend. Three major cultural events happening Jan. 26 to 29 are primed to tickle both aesthetic and intellectual sensibilities. Thursday’s “Night of Ideas,” hosted by the French Embassy’s French Cultural Services at Bergamot Station (2525 Michigan Ave.), aims to stimulate your cerebrum with free philosophical talks, performances and film screenings, scheduled late into the evening. Leading artists and thinkers from various disciplines facilitate this seven-hour public exchange of ideas from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. Starting at 8 p.m. in the Robert Berman Gallery, Los Angeles Times Architecture Critic Christopher Hawthorne will discuss utopias in contemporary Los Angeles with opera impresario and artistic director of The Industry Yuval Sharon, whose staging of the 2015 mobile opera “Hopscotch” across a fleet of limousines, parks, historic

buildings and rooftops in and around downtown Los Angeles drew national attention to the city’s avant-garde opera scene. Kristy Edmunds, the Artistic Director of UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance is slated to speak at 7 p.m. at Craig Krull Gallery, while Beyond Baroque Poet-inResidence Will Alexander will read poems from his books “Spectral Hieroglyphics” and “Compression & Purity” from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. on the Robert Berman Gallery patio. Edmunds plans “to offer a bit of a stream of consciousness reflection on utopias: civic and artistic, and how we work to dream potential into being” and hopes that the evening sparks inspiration for participants and speakers alike. “I welcome any and all ideas and questions,” she writes. “A Night of Ideas, being just that, means I am going to be as much of a conduit as I am an interlocutor.” Meanwhile, Alexander hopes to showcase vocabulary that “crosses disparate

disciplines, such as biology, zoology and astronomy” through his poetry. Then experimental music composers David Rosenboom, violinist-conductorcomposer Eyvind Kang and CalArts critic-historian Norman Klein team up to discuss experimental arts and music during times of inequality at midnight, while audio-maker Prieur de la Marne does a closing set to conclude the evening. Art Los Angeles Contemporary also opens Thursday night at Barker Hangar (3021 Airport Ave.) with a ticketed reception ($65) and a series of on-site performances by pop culture appropriation artist “Puppies Puppies” starting at 7 p.m. The contemplation of art continues throughout the weekend with discussions, performances, screenings and displays by more than 60 exhibitors designed to excite your inner critic. (Passes start at $25). On Friday, artists Zoe Crosher, Tony De Los Reyes, Fred Lonidier and Christine Wang discuss “Art in the Age of Donald Trump” at 3 p.m. On Sunday at 12:30

p.m., leading art figures from L.A.’s non-profits, foundations and arts institutions — including Eric Kim of Human Resources, Cascade Wilhelm of the Wilhelm Family Foundation and Jamillah James of the Institute of Contemporary Art Los Angeles (formerly the Santa Monica Museum of Art) — discuss the tension between elitism and egalitarianism in today’s art world. L.A. art critics David Pagel (The Los Angeles Times), Jonathan Griffin (Frieze), Hunter Drohojowska-Philp (ARTnews and KCRW’s “Art Talk”) and Lindsay Preston Zappas (CARLA) follow up this discussion at 1:30 p.m. by sharing their perspectives on four current art shows in L.A. Zappas, who founded CARLA in 2015, is excited to exchange ideas with some of L.A.’s most well-known critics. “We all kind of come from different publications, which have their own voice and ethos,” says Zappas, but she hopes that having a (Continued on page 16)

Café Solar Really Shines Charming, cozy and affordable, Westchester’s inconspicuous new eatery is worth checking out Photo by Erica Allen

Café Solar

6224 W. Manchester Ave., Westchester (424) 227-6486 cahuengagroup.com There are many great restaurants that inhabit strange spaces — I know of some that thrive in alleys, others on second floors with little visibility, and several on unpromising streets that seem to be between nothing and nowhere. How people find these places I can’t imagine, but enough do that they stay in business. A spot along a busy thoroughfare in Los Angeles might seem naturally better, but there’s a risk that people speeding by may be too focused on the road to notice what they’re passing. This is probably why none of the locals I queried knew about Café Solar, a coffeehouse and restaurant on Manchester Avenue about midway between Sepulveda and La Tijera boulevards. If you’re one of the thousands of people who drive by each day, you have to glance at just the right moment to see it. To blink and miss Café Solar would be unfortunate because this quirky, comfortable little bakery and café is a gem. The space itself is curious but welcoming; the slanted wooden roof with trusses and girders at odd angles suggests that sometime long past this was a warehouse or workshop. It has been stripped to the wood now and is fairly conventional, save for the two vintage bicycles that hang from brackets near the door. The café tables are lit by plenty of natural light, and if you want even more of that commodity you can dine outside on the patio. The menu at Café Solar is so extensive it appears daunting at first — pages of omelets, crepes, panini, salads and sandwiches — and that’s before you even start considering the daily specials, coffee drinks and alluring items in the pastry case. Though diners order at the

Café Solar’s breakfast shakshuka with mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, spinach, zucchini, onion, red bell peppers and toast counter here, on both visits I took a menu to a table to ponder for a few moments. On that first trip my companion and I selected a vegetarian curry

The croissant immediately made me well-disposed toward the place, because somebody around here really knows their way around an oven. It was flaky, buttery and light — so good that my immediate reaction was to consider ordering another one. I didn’t because I had no idea how large our meals were going to be, but I thought long and hard about it. It turned out that I made the right decision, because both of

tortilla soup. The soup was made with pureed squash and possibly some carrots, an unusual idea that worked. The empanadas were fried crisp rather than baked, and we received one stuffed with vegetable and cheese and one with picadillo, the mixture of ground beef and mild chili sauce with olives and chopped egg. The cheese and vegetable was good and the picadillo even better, but there (Continued on page 18)

was so much sauce that it was rather a mess to eat. I’d recommend that they keep this special on the menu but drain their meat mix a bit more. The vegetarian curry crepe was made with white flour rather than the traditional buckwheat (which typically adds a bit of flavor to savory crepes), but the mild vegetable curry had enough going on that the dish worked nicely. It is served with a choice of fruit or breakfast potatoes, and

I chose the latter. The chopped red potatoes had been crisped with rosemary and herbs, and I’d happily have them again. We accompanied the meal with fresh juice and a house special coffee made with mocha and a little shot of caramel. I usually like my coffee to taste entirely of coffee, but this mix of bitter and sweet was a nice change of pace. I liked that first meal well enough to come back for a soup and panini combo the next day. The panini was a tuna salad melt with olives and nicely made, but

the soup stole the show. It was a corn and cheese chowder that had plenty of vegetable sweetness accented with herbs, and it confirmed my high opinion of the kitchen. Café Solar has been in business for a few months now but was relatively vacant on both of my visits. This is a shame because it offers something truly exceptional in the airport area: a pleasant place to eat very good food at modest prices. It’s not just handy for the neighborhood, but worth a special trip.

The ArgonAuT REAl EstAtE Q&A

Too Much To Store and Too Little Space Do you have too much to store and too little space? If you’re like many homeowners, finding enough storage space can be a challenge. Thankfully, remodeling professionals can help you create new ways to tuck away your family’s treasures in a resourceful and sophisticated way, according to the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). Finding storage solutions doesn’t always mean undertaking a major remodel. Sometimes it’s about using the square footage you already have. Remodelers can help you plan and reallocate storage to accommodate your family’s changing lifestyle. Getting creative with storage can improve daily living and boost the resale value of your home. Look in Unusual Spaces Veteran remodeler Don Van Cura, CR, CLC, CKBR, and owner of Chicago-based Don Van Cura Construction, recently won a regional CotY Award for a clever storage solution he designed for stashing canned goods under a kitchen staircase. “I’m a space freak and I don’t believe that any part of the house should be wasted,” he explains. “Almost every section of home has a void in it that can be made into storage — and the older the house, the more nooks and crannies you can find.”

For his stair solution, Van Cura created storage bins under the wooden treads of a staircase. He did this by attaching each tread of the staircase to the frame using hidden piano hinges, which allow each tread to open like a storage chest. The homeowner could then use the space under the tread to tuck away dry goods and cans. This storage strategy can be used in many areas of a home. In the foyer, for example, the hidden cubbies under stairs can stash shoes and outdoor gear. In the basement they store cleaning products or seasonal accessories. For a short run of stairs, remodelers can also install a set of custom drawers underneath the stairwell with access from the either the side or the back — another great use of space. Any good stair installer or skilled remodeler should be able to do this project, but it demands a structurally sound staircase, fine cabinetry skills and careful preparation. “It’s easiest if you’re planning a new set of stairs, but it can also be done as a retrofit to existing stairs,” Van Cura notes. Reconfigure Rooms As Needed Perry Szpek, design sales associate for JDJ Builders in Milwaukee, Wis. recently created more storage for a family of six by reconfiguring two existing rooms and adding some square footage. The family’s mudroom was once a

cramped hallway that led from the house to the garage. “Not having a place to put on and take off their shoes was their biggest pet peeve,” Szpek said. As a solution, he designed two furniture-style storage units that provide both seating and a place to store outdoor gear.

that accommodate six laundry baskets — one for each member of the family. “When mom’s done folding clothes, she can separate the loads into a separate bin for each member,” he says. “The abundance of storage space worked great for this family of six.”

On one side of the room, a large boot-bench and locker cabinet gives the kids a place to sit down or hang up coats. The bench features storage beneath the seat and wicker baskets on a shelf above the hanging area. Drawer cabinets also flank each side of the bench, creating a personal spot for each child to stash hats, gloves and mittens.

Where to Start

Across the room Szpek planned a shorter boot bench for mom and dad that offered flip-top storage under the seat and hooks to hang coats behind them. Both storage pieces were accented with traditional beadboard backing, crown molding and a medium-brown distressed birch finish. In the family’s 120-square-foot laundry room, Szpek created a beautiful and storage-smart workspace. Upper and lower cabinetry provides plenty of storage for detergents, brushes and sponges, and a long countertop gives mom ample space to fold clean laundry. Under one area of the counter, Szpek designed cubbies

While some homeowners may think that a bigger home will solve their storage dilemma, this is not always the case. Often, having better storage is about making better layout choices and putting things within easy reach. Before talking to a remodeler, homeowners should take a thorough assessment of the square footage they have and how much stuff they need to store. In addition, it’s important to think about day-to-day schedules. Some areas of the home, like foyers, mudrooms and laundry rooms, could use additional cabinetry or places to drop cell phones, keys and wallets. Sometimes the project is more about reworking traffic flow or designating specific spots for tasks like folding laundry, putting on outerwear and storing cleaning products.

A Place at the Table Songwriter-producer T Bone Burnett discusses the value of art in uncertain times By Bliss Bowen When idiosyncratic producer/songwriter T Bone Burnett delivered the keynote address at AmericanaFest in Nashville in September, it lit up blogs and Facebook. The speech was remarkable, as Burnett challenged artists to live up to their calling — to speak truth — and saluted the soul and “soft power” of American music. Most strikingly, he underscored core points with references to neuroscience, string theory, binary code and the pope, while offering a sensibly reasoned analysis of why artists should not allow technocrats to snow them into commercially devaluing their own work. Born Joseph Henry Burnett III and raised in Fort Worth, the deep-thinking Texan’s name has become a kind of shorthand for musical quality. Since playing guitar in Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue and releasing several solo albums throughout the 1980s and early 2000s, Burnett has cultivated a dignified, musically informed sensibility and sound as producer of soundtracks (“O Brother, Where Art Thou?,” “Walk the Line,” “Cold Mountain,” “The Big Lebowski,” “Inside Llewyn Davis”) and PAGE 28 28 THE THEARGONAUT ARGONAUT JANUARy January26, 26,2017 2017 PAGE

T Bone Burnett salutes the “soft power” of American music artists (ex-wife Sam Phillips, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Counting Crows, Los Lobos, Grace Potter, Brandi Carlile, Cassandra Wilson and Elvis Costello, to name a few). He’s won 13 Grammy Awards, along with an Oscar and Golden Globe (both for Best Original Song, “The Weary Kind,” written with artist Ryan Bingham for “Crazy Heart”).

Small wonder pop culture scribe Lloyd Sachs recently honored Burnett with a biography, “T Bone Burnett: A Life in Pursuit.” As part of the ongoing Live Talks L.A. event series, Burnett discusses “The Value of the Artist and the Value of Art” with concert/film producer and USC scholar Jonathan Taplin on Monday in Santa Monica.

In Burnett’s own words: “There is this sense that the technocrats are saying, ‘Look, we’re just going to go ahead and do this, and we’ll sort it all out later.’ As they did with the atom bomb. As artists, it is our responsibility to sort it out now.” Burnett was referring to technology’s commoditization of music when he made that statement during his AmericanaFest address, whose broad scope also considered the impact of religion, monopolistic corporate power, the fall of the Iron Curtain, and the imperative role of artists in advancing science as well as ethics and ideals. It should be illuminating to hear his post-election perspectives on exceptionalism, national identity and reality, now that we are governed by the official results of what he deemed a “psychedelic political season.” T Bone Burnett speaks at 8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 30, in the Ann and Jerry Moss Theatre at New Roads School, 3131 Olympic Blvd., Santa Monica. Tickets are $20 to $30, or $95 including a VIP reception before the event. Visit livetalksla.org for more information.

A Woman who Made History Santa Monica History Museum founder Louise Gabriel is remembered for bringing the city’s past safely into the present By Michael Aushenker Louise Gabriel, who founded the Santa Monica History Museum with her late husband Bob Gabriel and spent more than three decades shepherding the organization toward self-sustainability, has died. Gabriel’s passing on Jan. 10 “was sudden and unexpected,” said daughter Susan Gabriel Potter, who declined to discuss her mother’s age or health conditions. Santa Monica leaders past and present praised Gabriel’s seemingly tireless efforts to not only document but share knowledge of the city’s past. “When I think of Santa Monica’s history in terms of preserving it and making it accessible to people, I think of Louise Gabriel making that possible,” said Pam O’Connor, a member of the Santa Monica City Council since 1994. “Louise was a force for Santa Monica history,” former Santa Monica City Manager Rod Gould said. Gabriel was a native of Detroit who “came from very humble beginnings,” Potter said. “She worked in a market and she saved every dime.” In 1946, Gabriel and her mother were on vacation when she met her husband, a U.S. Navy lieutenant commander who had fought in the Pacific theater during World War II, on Broadway and Third Street. “The first day I saw Santa Monica, I knew I wanted to spend my life here,” Gabriel told The Argonaut in 2013. “This was like heaven. Like God’s country.” In 1975, the Gabriels made a $30,000 investment to establish what was then called the Santa Monica Historical Society Museum. Initially located in a former industrial building on Colorado Avenue, the museum relocated in

The late Louise Gabriel and daughter Susan Gabriel Potter explore a 2016 Santa Monica History Museum exhibit on Shirley Temple’s early years in Santa Monica October 2010 to 1350 7th St., adjacent to the Santa Monica Public Library. Today the museum’s collections include tens of thousands of artifacts and more than 600,000 photographs. Gabriel was “indefatigable in seeking donations of time, labor, materials and funding,” said Gould, who interacted with her from 2009 to 2014. “Her passion and determination were decisive in convincing the City Council to afford the museum a highly desirable lease of a portion on the new central library

complex. Her control was so total that at one point she fired and replaced her entire board of directors, explaining that they had accomplished their purpose and new talent was needed.” In 2015, the museum simultaneously feted Santa Monica’s 140th anniversary and the museum’s 40th. The museum’s annual gala benefit dinners at the historic Hotel Casa del Mar celebrated the first aerial circumnavigation of the globe (launched from Clover Field, now Santa Monica Airport, in 1924), and the notori-

ous Prohibition-era Santa Monica Bay gambling boat S.S. Rex. Through the museum, Gabriel sponsored Santa Monica’s first archaeological dig, successfully campaigned to save the city’s oldest brick building (the first Santa Monica City Hall) and helped the Santa Monica Bay Women’s Club acquire landmark status. It’s no easy task “to get a group of people together, to grow a society, to grow that collection and to get it to sustain itself. It takes someone who is dedicated to moving and pushing it forward,” O’Connor said. Potter said her mother drew from a deep reservoir of determination and had absolutely no use for self-pity. “She would tell us, ‘I cried because I had no shoes until I saw someone who had no feet,’” Potter said. As children, Potter said her mother was so involved in her museum that she and her brother became jealous of it. “We would call it her favorite sibling. There was never a conversation with her that she did not say something about the museum,” said Potter, who will assume her mother’s role as the museum’s interim director. “She instilled in me that same passion for the community. She’s always going to be my shining light.” In addition to Potter, Gabriel is survived by son Robb Gabriel and daughter Sharyl Gabriel Szydlik; grandchildren Patrick Potter, Bryan Potter and Michael Szydlik; and sisters Josephine Van Buren and Elaine Bruner. A public memorial service is set for 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 31, at St. Monica Catholic Church, 725 California Ave.). In lieu of flowers, people are asked to donate to the museum. “We invite the community,” Potter said. “That was her passion.”

C ov ers , Not Copies

Flee Willy I’m a 27-year-old woman, dating again after a six-year relationship. I slept with a guy on the third date and was dismayed when he didn’t spend the night. It didn’t feel like just a hookup, and it wasn’t a work night. Is this just how people date now — going home immediately after sex — or does this mean he’s not serious? — Confused There are two ways to solve this problem. One is to say, “Hey, I’d really like you to stay the night.” The other is to hide his shoes and keys. The “half-night stand” — avoiding the early-morning walk of shame, often via middle-of-the-night Uber — is being proclaimed the new one-night stand. The truth is, the just-post-sex adios isn’t exactly a new phenomenon; it’s probably just more prevalent, thanks to how easy smartphones make it to swipe office supplies, Thai food and sex partners right to your door. As for why this guy left, it’s hard to say. Maybe he’s gone for good, or maybe he just wasn’t sure you wanted him to stay. Maybe he sleepwalks,

sleep-carjacks or can’t fall asleep in a strange bed. Or maybe he’s got some earlymorning thing — seeing his parole officer, walking the goat, or (more likely) making the bathroom smell like 12 dead goats. Your fretting about what the deal is suggests you might not be as comfortable as you think about having sex before there’s a relationship in place. You may unconsciously be succumbing to a form of peer pressure — peer pressure that mainly exists in your own mind — called “pluralistic ignorance.” This is social psychologists’ term for when many people in a group are personally uncomfortable with some belief or behavior but go along with it anyway — incorrectly concluding that most people are A-OK with it and thinking they should be, too. (Basically, “monkey assume/ monkey do.”) Consider how the millennial generation is supposedly “Generation Hookup.” Looking at survey data from Americans ages 20 to 24 (millennials), psychologist Jean Twenge actually found that people born from 1990 to 1994 were “significantly more likely” than

those born from 1965 to 1969 (Gen Xers) to say they’d had ZERO sex partners since the age of 18 (15% of millennials went sexless, versus 6% of Gen Xers.) And if millennials were clued in on pluralistic ignorance, the number in the “no sex for now” column might be even higher. For example, biological anthropologist Chris Reiber finds that women seriously overestimate other women’s comfort level with “hookup behaviors” (from “sexual touching above the waist” to sex) in situations “where a more traditional romantic relationship is NOT an explicit condition of the encounter.” Figure out what actually works for you emotionally — whether you can just say ”whatevs!” if a guy goes all nail-’n’-turn-tail or whether you might want to wait to have sex till you’ve got a relationship going. That’s when it becomes easier to broach uncomfortable subjects. This way you won’t have to wonder, say, why he’s running out at 2:27 a.m. You will know: It’s not you; it’s his sleep apnea and how he likes to go home to his CPAP machine rather than die in your bed.

Gimme Sum of Your Luvin’ Resolve an argument, please. How often should married people be having sex to have a happy marriage? — Married Person It is kind of depressing if the last time you screamed in bed was two months ago when your husband rolled over in his sleep and elbowed you in the eye. However, consider that more of a good thing is not always better. For example, having more in the boobage area is generally great — unless that means having three. Well, according to social psychologist Amy Muise and her

colleagues, once you’ve got a relationship going, sex works kind of the same way. They find that having sex once a week is associated with greater happiness; however, more sex than that doesn’t make for more happiness, and it can sometimes make for less. The researchers explain that many people are exhausted and feel overwhelmed, so “the pressure to engage in sex as frequently as possible may be daunting and even stressful.” But, interestingly, comparisons with one’s peers — positive or negative — also color how people feel. Sociologist Tim

Wadsworth finds that, beyond simply having sex, what really makes people happier is thinking they’re having more of it than everybody else. Having sex just once a week can keep the spouse with a stronger sex drive feeling satisfied enough while keeping the less lusty spouse from feeling like a sexual pack mule. This, in turn, helps keep resentment from taking over your relationship to the point where you go around grumbling that the last time somebody got into your pants, it was because they paid $3.79 for them at Goodwill.

Big Daddy tap doo wop and rockabilly to reinvent classic pop tunes Big Daddy recasts contemporary tunes as ‘50s rock Cover bands, as a rule, don’t get much press coverage for the simple reason that their job is to cover, or copy, other artists’ music; their success often depends on their ability to accurately replicate hits. Being a human jukebox may thrill audiences because of the musicianship that requires, but it makes for dull reading. A happy exception to that cover band rule: Big Daddy, aka “the Band of ’59.” It’s safe to say these guys — veteran players all — don’t do anything without their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks. More importantly, they don’t just copy popular songs like Rick James’ “Super Freak” (from their 1983 album “What Really Happened to the Band of ’59”), Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark” (with which they had a top 20 UK hit in 1985) or the Beatles’ “Sgt.

A Populist Approach

Looking ahead, Wilcox said his is “very much a long-term vision” for operating at SMO, and he believes “only federal action can close the airport.” He argues that the democratization of charter jet travel will turn the tide in public opinion about SMO. “The way I see it, this kind of service is exactly the kind of thing that will increase the popularity of the airport among the city of Santa Monica.

It isn’t necessary to have a taste for ’50s-era rock ‘n’ roll to appreciate the smartly arranged results; the band’s sly humor is infectious, and they keep the audience in on the joke. After touring heavily throughout the 1980s and early ’90s, Big Daddy took a lengthy hiatus then emerged a few years ago with a Kickstarter campaign for a new album skewering — er, recasting — Broadway and film classics, “Smashing Songs of Stage & Screen.” Expect to hear a few well-harmonized nuggets from that when they play McCabe’s Friday night.
