Outside Looking In A Loyola Marymount University exhibit gives prison inmates a voice through art By Joe Piasecki

Exonerated after spending 20 years in prison for a wrongful murder conviction, Loyola Marymount

University sociology student Franky Carrillo reflects on a self portrait he made inside Folsom State Prison — a pencil sketch of a naked, anguished man seated on a plain wooden chair. “It takes me right back into my prison cell,” says Carrillo, 39. “I was sitting where this guy is. My life was on hold. This image was all that I had.” At 16, Carrillo was arrested and later convicted of a drive-by shooting in Lynwood despite his and his father’s insistence that he was at home in Maywood watching TV at the time of the killing. In March 2011, having lived behind bars since January 1991, Carrillo walked out of Los Angeles Superior Court a free man after a judge overturned his (Continued on page 10)

Letters Unleashed dogs can be dangerous

Dear Fellow Dog Lovers of Marina del Rey, As a pet owner who strives to provide my companion activities that provide well-being and enjoyment, I am deeply disturbed by the increasing number of individuals who insist on walking their dogs off-leash in public areas — particularly, near and on the beach. Many of these dogs are large and of “aggressive” breed types, including pit bulls and mastiffs, which can be very intimidating. Walking one’s dog off-leash in a public space and on the beach is not only illegal, it’s a matter of poor judgment that often impedes others’ rights to enjoyment of public spaces without fear of altercation. On nearly every walk or run I encounter “regular offenders” who simply don’t grasp the concept of personal responsibility. Repeatedly (and politely) I have asked them to leash their dogs, often expressing my fear of their animals. In almost every instance, my requests were met with outright refusal.

For everyone’s welfare, including their pets’, I suggest these folks consider the following: Are you prepared to suffer the legal and financial consequences if your dog, even accidentally, inflicts injury to a person or dog? Are you 100% certain that all other dogs are safe and friendly, and will not attack you or your dog if they, too, are off-leash or feel threatened? Do you have a comprehensive personal liability insurance policy? Are you aware that one has the

legal right to use pepper spray to ward off an aggressive dog — perceived or otherwise? We all want to live in a community that is safe and enjoyable for people and pets. Making this a reality demands that we all do our share, beginning with keeping our dogs safely leashed. Sam Anderson Marina del Rey

Via Marina doesn’t need a hotel

We are Marina residents — on the city side of Via Marina. We can’t get representation from our

city councilman to oppose an illegal hotel on Parcel 9U in a 100% residential neighborhood. Condominiums and apartments on both sides of Via Marina will be subject to years of construction noise and pollution and traffic, not to mention the destruction of a wetland, which is not legal under the Coastal Act. Only a park may replace a wetland — a full park, not the token one to be provided. Night lights and deliveries and a seven story hotel blocking any view of the marina will bring too much traffic to this quiet

area. There are already six hotels in the marina, plus one proposed for Fisherman’s Village, and they do not operate at full capacity. There are already sufficient hotels, bars and restaurants. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors needs to back off this project, and our councilman needs to come to our rescue. Lynne Shapiro Marina del Rey

NEWS Victim of hit-and-run crash near LMU dies of his injuries

Paul Grover was jogging along Lincoln Boulevard when he was struck by a hitand-run driver on Jan. 9 near LMU Drive

By Gary Walker A Playa Vista man who was struck by a hit-and-run driver near Loyola Marymount University has died from his injuries. Paul Kevin Grover, 62, was out jogging along Lincoln Boulevard at about 4:15 a.m. on Jan. 9 when a southbound driver veered off the roadway near LMU Drive, sheered a light pole and collided with Grover. He died the following day at UCLA- Medical Center, said LAPD West Traffic Officer Martha Dominguez. The driver of the older-model sedan, who police have described as a black woman in her early to mid 20s, left the scene of the crash on foot. Dominguez said investigators have identified a person of interest in the crime but have not made an arrest. She said police are following up on leads but declined to elaborate details of the ongoing investigation. Whether the driver was speeding remains unknown. “We’re still trying to determine if that

was the case,” Dominguez said. An insurance and real estate broker, Grover operated P.K. Grover Insurance Services in Playa Vista from 2004 until 2006, said his sister, Susan Offutt of Glyndon, Minn. Offutt, 67, remembered her younger brother as an avid swimmer who also played the piano. “He loved jogging, too, and would go in the wee hours of the morning,” she said. Offutt said Grover strived to lead on active lifestyle because he suffered from diabetes, an ailment that had contributed to their father’s death. “As [Grover] got older, he knew how important eating healthy and staying in shape was,” she said. Grover had a son, Thomas, who also died during a hit-and-run crash in Glyndon in 2008, Offutt said. Mark Polland, a Long Beach attorney, knew Grover for 10 years and called him a “great guy.” Grover had worked with Polland’s father in the insurance business. Friends and family held a memorial

service for Grover on Jan. 19 at the Jamaica Bay Inn in Marina del Rey. Grover had lived in the Marina before moving to Playa Vista. Grover’s family plans to hold a memorial service in Glyndon in early summer, Offutt said. Polland said that had Grover been a witness to the type of accident that killed him, he would have tried to help the victim. “That’s the kind of guy that he was,” the attorney said. Offutt, who talked to her brother on the phone almost every day, said it would be hard not hearing Grover’s voice anymore. “It’s like a nightmare that you never wake up from,” she said. Police are asking anyone with information about the crash to contact investigators at (213) 473-0124 or, during non-business hours, 877-LAPD-24-7. Those wishing to remain anonymous should call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-222-TIPS. § gary@argonautnews.com

By Joe Piasecki Perhaps these are poetic times after all. The north wall of the Venice Beach Poets Monument got a long-awaited facelift on Saturday with the installation of 61 ceramic art tiles to complete the original design planned 14 years ago. Created by fifth-grade students at Grandview Elementary School, the tiles are part of ongoing work by community groups to spruce up the monument, which includes the north wall on Ocean Front Walk near 17th Street and three other locations along the beach and boardwalk. The effort is spearheaded by the Endangered Art Fund, a project of the Venice Arts Council, in collaboration with Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center, the Social Public Art Resource Center (SPARC) and Venice Community Housing. Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin’s office and the Abbot Kinney Festival Association Community Grants Program have also kicked in funding for monument upgrades. SPARC’s Public Art Rescue Program, formed to preserve and restore distressed Los Angeles murals, is leading the restoration

work on various parts of the monument. “Specifically for this project we designed a series of chemicals to be able to restore the concrete to its original color and then we also did hand sculpting of the previously engraved letters so you could get enough contrast to read them,” SPARC project manager Carlos Rogel said. Restoration workers also applied a protective coating on the north wall but left the carved letters untreated so that future calcium carbonate buildup would help the words stand out, Rogel said. The north wall contains stanzas of poetry written by Charles Bukowski, Tony Scibella, Ellyn Maybe and Frank T. Rios. And then there are the colorful six-inch-by-six-inch tiles — created as expressions of visual poetry, said Tamie Smith, a visual arts teacher at Grandview Elementary School who led the students in their work. “The prompt was ‘What is visual poetry to you?’ One kid did an old couple holding hands in the sunset; another did ‘tacos two for a dollar’ — I love that, too,” Smith said. “Individually they’re beautiful, but taken as a whole it’s really eye-catching. I love the colors,”

said Linda J. Albertano, a poet and performance artist who represented Los Angeles in the 1984 One World Poetry Festival alongside poet Wanda Coleman and poet/musician Exene Cervenka. Writings by Albertano, Coleman and Cervenka are represented on other parts of the monument. Rios, deemed the last of Venice’s Beat poets, and Maybe also joined Saturday’s tile installation event. Maybe said her poetry excerpt (my mind is a radio / once I could sing/ the play by play of Blonde on Blonde/ like it was Eddie Doucette weaving/ basketball free throw averages/ with a handful of scars) relates a love of music. Rios said he selected his stanza (I am a man/ who stands against the mountain/ and thinks of pebbles) because “that’s how we build, from the bottom up.” Rios’ observation also relates to a larger theme of Saturday’s event, said Suzanne Thompson, a cofounder of the Venice Arts Council and chair of its Endangered Arts Fund. “This is an opportunity to really celebrate four nonprofits coming together to beautify public art in Venice,” she said. § joe@argonautnews.com

L.A. City Council approves controversial Westchester development The five-story residential and retail complex planned for La Tijera Boulevard will include 140 apartments basement units and interference with pedestrian use of an adjacent sidewalk, opened the door for TriCal to appeal to the City Council and rethink the project, Bonin said. Along the way, several voluntary traffic mitigation measures that were crafted to satisfy neighbors’ concerns fell by the wayside. Planning Commission members made a “very bad, ideological decision” by rejecting the earlier TriCal proposal, Bonin said. “The commission was negotiating against my constituents.” But a council vote against the project, Bonin concluded, would have opened the door for an even larger version. “If the City Council rejects this project, I am thoroughly convinced the developer will come back with a ‘by-right’ project that does not need any approval from the city,” he said. The TriCal project, near the San Diego (405) Freeway, contains 227 parking spaces and 26,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, according to documents.

More than 300 nearby residents participated in a survey that had identified density and traffic concerns. Kimberly Fox, who lives adjacent to the project on 74th Street, said she was disheartened by the use of Senate Bill 1818 —a 2005 state law that allows density increases based on inclusion of affordable housing units, of which TriCal’s project will have 13. SB 1818 “has become the default strategy in the city’s planning department,” said Fox. Bonin said his office will look at ways to soften the law’s impacts but said the city doesn’t have jurisdiction over the state. “SB 1818 is well-intentioned, poorly written and frequently abused by developers,” the councilman said. Fox also took issue with the Neighborhood Council of Westchester-Playa’s decision not to mention neighborhood opposition in its community impact report to the Planning Commission, and how the ingress and egress for the development will be located

By Gary Walker For Westsiders, it’s become a familiar story — developer plans project, neighbors complain it’s too big. But in Westchester this week there came a new twist: the Los Angeles City Council getting involved and, according to one city leader, approving a project to keep it from potentially growing any bigger. The proposal before the council on Tuesday was a five-story, 140-unit residential and retail complex at 7407 S. La Tijera Blvd., for which the Del Rey-based real estate and development firm TriCal Construction utilized a state density bonus provision. The plans approved by council members in a 10-3 vote — Councilman Mike Bonin, who represents Westchester, among the yes votes — are for a denser project than TriCal originally proposed, but only because that initial proposal was rejected by the city Planning Commission. The commission’s rejection, grounded in concerns about the livability of 15 proposed

on 74th Street instead of on La Tijera. “If we could have preserved one of the curb cuts on La Tijera, that would make a big difference in traffic,” Fox said. Others, however, see the project as a benefit to the neighborhood. “La Tijera at 74th Street is the opening gateway to Westchester, and this project provides an opportunity to make this corner visually beautiful and symbolically important to our community,” Yvonne Fok-Ginderson, who sits on

the neighborhood association board of the nearby Alicante Townhomes, wrote in a letter to neighborhood council members. “This is an excellent opportunity to address housing needs in our community while also improving the aesthetics of the neighborhood.” Fox is worried the council’s approval opened a floodgate. “We now have a precedent for something that is inappropriate in our neighborhood,” she said. § gary@argonautnewspaper.com

Outside Looking In

A Loyola Marymount University exhibit gives prison inmates a voice through art (Continued from cover) murder conviction. Five men who were teenagers when they had fingered Carrillo for the murder recanted their testimony, saying they did not see the shooter and had been lead by investigators. The prosecutor who had won Carrillo’s conviction cried on the witness stand. “I’d gone from a child to a man without much life experience to really call myself a man, and so art was my way of exercising what it is to be alive, I suppose. This drawing was really a projection of my life at that point: The only thing I had to define me was myself,” Carrillo said.

some of those artists as well as paintings by a man who has spent decades in solitary confinement at Pelican Bay State Prison. Jack L. Morris, who was convicted of second degree murder, works in whatever materials he can find — including peanut butter oil he extracts from his meal packets. Artist and activist Sheila Pinkel began corresponding with Morris several years ago after seeing some of his paintings displayed at the now-defunct Midnight Special bookstore. Morris had mailed them there in response to a radio advertisement. ***** Pinkel, who has since compiled a book of Morris’ art and poetry, loaned to the Carrillo’s work and other art created exhibit a large scale photo installation by or about prisoners are featured in of her creation that depicts furniture and “Voices of Incarceration,” an exhibit that other products manufactured by prisoners opened Saturday at LMU’s Laband Art for pennies an hour and sold by the Gallery and continues through March 16 California Dept. of Corrections for multi(coincidentally, three years to the day that million dollar profits. Carrillo was freed). She equates prison work to slave labor “It’s not the world of art I’m used to and decries Pelican Bay’s practice of working in, that’s for sure,” said gallery holding prisoners in solitary confinement director Carolyn Peters, who traces the for decades on suspicion of having gang concept back to visiting a prison art class ties. run by the nonprofit William James Assoc. “The reason we do this is to create at San Quentin State Prison. “I went in information. It’s not about our art — it’s there with some anxiety, but the studio felt about this horrible situation,” she said. like a haven. The students were focused Another artist and activist, Richard Ross, on self expression — being human beings loaned the exhibit a series of photographs and connecting with other people in the documenting juvenile hall inmates in class, too.” California.

a series of colorful but deeply tragic portraits of child prisoners in Russia and Ukraine by artist Michael Chelbin. A series of photographs by artist Alyse Emdur documents the painted backdrops that inmates of many American prisons are required to use for photos taken in visiting rooms. “You’d think it would be this escape, but they don’t have a choice. Maybe they don’t want to pose in front of this idealized background. Maybe they want their loved ones to see what prison actually looks like,” Emdur said. Peters finds several common themes in the art created by prisoners — images representing the artists’ ethnic backgrounds (ink-on-handkerchief drawings of Aztec gods and warriors; a linotype print of a samurai warrior on horseback) and symbols noting the passage of time. Within the art, “Prisoners’ relationship with time is a paradox. They’re trying to serve out their sentence and get through all that time, and yet they also have the gift of time. There’s a lot of detail in these artworks. They have the gift and the curse of time to pass,” Peters said. “It’s hard to narrate your life as a prisoner, but art can provoke a

deeper understanding of identity that goes beyond words,” Carrillo said. ***** While in prison Carrillo also used words to express himself, writing letter after letter to various organizations and law firms pleading for help to prove his innocence. His break came not from those letters, but from word of mouth through Toni Carter, a teacher he assisted during prison education classes. Carter told Carrillo’s story to Ellen Eggers, a state public defender who took the case on pro bono. Eggers received help from the California Innocence Project, the law firm Morrison Foerster and the Center for Restorative Justice at LMU. The Center for Restorative Justice began in 2009 as a seminar series to teach students about methods of resolving crime and conflict outside the adversarial court system. The concept has become increasingly relevant in the juvenile courts, where efforts to send young offenders into rehabilitation programs instead of juvenile halls and camps have been proving fruitful and gaining ground. The program has since expanded to include LMU School of Education students

A painting created with ink, pastel and peanut butter oil and an explanatory note by Jack L. Morris, who is in solitary confinement at Pelican Bay State Prison for second-degree murder

who are now running a restorative justice program at Westchester High School that serves as an alternative to suspensions and expulsions. Scott Wood, a law professor who founded the Center for Restorative Justice and serves as its director, met Carrillo at Folsom and helped Eggers’ legal team convince the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office

to re-examine Carrillo’s case file. The hearing to overturn Carrillo’s conviction “ended with the D.A.’s office conceding the case. This was the first time I ever saw that happen. There was a lightning bolt through the courtroom,” Wood said. With few other immediate housing options, Carrillo lived with Scott and his wife for a few months after his release.

Things have gotten better since. Carrillo and his partner — Efty Sharony, a social worker investigator with the Loyola Law School’s Center for Juvenile Law and Policy — celebrated the birth of a baby boy in November. Inspired by his new family, Carrillo has also returned to creating art, an impulse that initially fell by the wayside after he was freed.

LMU student Franky Carrillo holds his infant son in front of works he created at Folsom State Prison, where he served half of a 20-year murder sentence before being exonerated of the crime

“When I was in prison, art was a form of therapy, creating a world I wanted to be in. All that sort of changed when I got out,” Carrillo said. “What’s bizarre now is that I draw a lot of things that relate to prison. I also draw a lot of trees, being without them for so long.”

caught with a stolen computer, his mother said. “For a $1,500 laptop, Californians are paying $50,000 a year to keep him incarcerated,” she said. Murdock will be released next week but can’t return home — he’s required to serve out his probation in San Francisco, the location of his offense, his mother said. Murdock has a place to stay for a few weeks, but where he’ll live after that and how he’ll make a living is anyone’s guess. “I can’t answer any of those questions.

***** Next to Carrillo’s work at the Laband Gallery, Maureen Murdock inspects a linotype print of the San Quentin landscape — a tense black-and-white

depiction of barbed wire, prison walls, a guard tower and fog rolling off the bay. The print was created by her son, Brendan Murdock. It’s the view from his prison block, she says. “I know those towers. They’re pretty scary, because the guys in those towers have guns,” Maureen Murdock said.

Interview

Looking across the Pacific LMU Asia scholar Tom Plate on L.A.’s ties to the continent, why Indonesia matters and his new book documenting Asia’s economic rise “Geography is destiny,” says Loyola Marymount University’s Tom Plate— a preeminent scholar on contemporary Asia who found his calling by recognizing the strong economic and cultural ties that Los Angeles shares with the continent. Plate, 69, began writing about Asia in 1996 as an op-ed columnist at the Los Angeles Times after serving as the paper’s editorial page editor for six years. He became an internationally syndicated columnist in 2001, with his work appearing in several large Asian newspapers and others in the United States. Before joining the faculty at LMU as a distinguished scholar in its Asian and Pacific Studies Department, Plate taught at UCLA, was a senior fellow at USC and founded the nonprofit Pacific Perspectives Media Center. He is also founder and editor in chief of New Asia Media (asiamedia.lmu.edu), an online university publication of both scholarly and general interest. Plate’s journalism on Asia has also led to nine nonfiction books. “Conversations with Lee Kuan Yew,” a 2011 book on the founding father of modern Singapore, won a People’s Choice award for nonfiction and has been translated into Korean, Armenian, Russian, Chinese, Taiwanese, Thai and Vietnamese. Other titles in Plate’s “Giants of Asia” book series have profiled United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Thai business magnate Thaksin Shinawatra and former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. “In the Middle of the Future,” a handpicked selection of more than 100 of Plate’s 1,000-plus columns on Asia, hit bookstore shelves this week. Plate will speak about “In the Middle of the Future” during a Los Angeles World Affairs Council event on Tuesday at the Japanese American National Museum. — Gary Walker

What first drew your attention to Asia? I think primarily being in Los Angeles and working at the Los Angeles Times. We face the Pacific, and then there is the tremendous ethnic diversity that we have. Also, [in the 1970s] there was a vacuum on reporting in Asia. I thought that if we started a column on Asia it would be a real contribution. Do you think Angelinos are aware of Asia’s importance? I think that we are more aware than our counterparts in New York and Chicago. We have Westminster in Orange County [a city with a large Vietnamese population], and there’s Koreatown and Little Saigon. There was a joke when I was on the faculty at UCLA, where some of the kids used to say it stood for “University of Caucasians Lost among Asians.” So we have thriving Asian populations here. In many ways, geography is destiny — and I

think we forget that sometimes. Is the rise of the local tech entrepreneurship corridor known as Silicon Beach having any impact China in terms of how it manufactures many tech products created in the United States? I expect any change — if it happens — to be gradual. The experience in Asia is that as each country begins to develop it moves up the food chain. You wind up outsourcing different things to Burma or Indonesia, so there could be some outsourcing to those two countries or others as they develop. I find Indonesia to be the most interesting county in Asia at the moment. How so? In July, Indonesia [which has a larger Muslim population than any other country in the world] will be having its first one-man, one-vote presidential election. This is a huge development and could have an important impact

on the rest of the Muslim world. Many scholars say if you could have a secular Indonesia with clean elections after being run for 30 years by the military, why couldn’t this happen in smaller Muslim countries? I personally think that it could have a contagious effect, not only in the immediate neighborhood but throughout the Muslim world. This is one of the biggest stories of 2014 in Asia, and I think it’s a failure of our media that it has not been reported. What has been the impact of North Korea’s decisions to hold American citizens hostage and threaten the U.S.? It’s enormously complicated. I think what’s going on right now is a generational war between [North Korean President] Kim Jong Un and allies of his father. As a nation that has been isolated, there is no exit from where they are. The Chinese and the Russians are sick of them. And I think that North Korea is one of President Obama’s five biggest foreign policy headaches. How do you think President Obama has done on Asia foreign policy? I think a lot of the things that people see as flaws in Obama are actually strengths. He is hesitant, but the flip side to that is that he isn’t George Bush taking us headlong into war. I think Obama is being more instinctive in his approach to foreign policy than he’s give credit for. Our foreign policy has been somewhat incoherent in Asia, and there’s still a lot more that we can do there. You’ve written several books. Why “In the Middle of the Future”? It was my [Singapore-based] publisher’s idea. They thought there might be some interest to use some of my columns to document the rise of Asia over the last 20 years from an American point of view and as reference book for scholars. At first I thought it was a crazy idea, but then I went back and looked at them, and I thought, ‘some of them aren’t so bad after all.’ I’ve

Tom Plate’s latest book chronicles the economic rise of Asia

“We have thriving Asian populations here. In many ways, geography is destiny — and I think we forget that sometimes.” — Tom Plate refreshed them, and I think it works as a tapestry — a timeline of the mosaic of Asian history over the last 20 years. What do you think made you the journalist that Asia’s leaders want to talk to? I wasn’t a “hit and run” journalist … I was a ‘hit and stay’ journalist. After a while, [Asian leaders] knew that I was going to be around for a while and I think that helped me develop credibility with them. Journalism is about taking a snapshot — making a timely

assessment through a filter with the tools that you have at the time. And if you stick to the fundamentals of journalism, you’ll be fine. Plate speaks about his new book at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Japanese American National Museum, 100 N. Central Ave., Los Angeles. The event is hosted a Los Angeles World Affairs Council. Tickets are $15.

No prohibition on fun

Doozy provides a live throwback soundtrack for swing dancing in Playa del Rey this weekend By Michael Aushenker With singer Christie Mellor and guitarist Doug Freeman at its core, Doozy delivers a repertoire of music harkening back to Prohibition and the Great Depression. But there’s nothing depressing about their set list — a freewheeling aural cocktail of period covers and ersatz originals of the era. Coming off of a four-year residency at Culver City’s historic Culver Hotel that wrapped up in November, Doozy performs two full sets Wednesday night in Playa del Rey to accompany both beginning and advanced swing dancers. November was the first time Doozy played at Rusty’s, an erstwhile Elk’s Lodge in Playa del Rey. “The ambience leaves plenty to be desired but the vibe is great,” Freeman said. “The people are serious about Members of Doozy relax after a set at the Culver Hotel — from the left is Peter Hastings, Doug Freeman, Christie Mellor, John Allen, Henry Spurgeon and Carol Chaikin

dancing and they pretty much don’t let up. It’s a fun place to play.” Freeman is a veteran of bands, most notably the Lopez Beatles — a pop band fronted by Los Angeles Times television critic Robert Lloyd that caused a local sensation in the early 1980s with the witty song “Bitchen Party” and its companion video on MTV. Mellor began writing original compositions four years ago. A batch informs Doozy’s 2011 album “Heavy Sugar,” and a new recording is in the works. Fueled by the intoxicating tunes of Boswell Sisters, Ruth Etting, Annette Hanshaw and Bing Crosby, Mellor has parlayed her lifelong affinity with the sounds of the 1920s and ‘30s into originals performed in the style of the times — song with titles such as “Absinthe,” “All I Really Saw,” (Continued on page 26)

Tracing a Wayward Circle Author John O’Kane explores tensions between the bohemian Venice of yesterday and the trendy, tech-savvy Venice of tomorrow By Michael Aushenker Is Venice’s heyday in the rear-view mirror, or is it headed into a golden age? That’s the question John O’Kane grapples with in his new book “Venice, CA: A City State of Mind,” excerpts of which he will read and discuss on Friday at Beyond Baroque. There is little debate that Venice is a neighborhood that prides itself on a freethinking, freewheeling creativity — basking in a rich cultural legacy passed down from early 20th-century developer Abbot Kinney to the Beats of the 1950s to the musicians and street artists of the ensuing decades. “There’s something in the air in Venice that makes you feel different,” said O’Kane, a UC Irvine writing and media instructor who last year began to chronicle the neighborhood for KCET’s online “Departures” series. In his book, O’Kane contrasts the bohemian spirit of Venice’s past with today’s more highly commodified sense of cool. But Dogtown still has plenty of fleas on its tail, despite gentrification’s forward march. A stabbing last Saturday on Ocean Front Walk, a vicious beating

with a folding chair in December and the fatal stabbing of a restaurant worker in November serve as all-too-stark reminders. Given Venice’s history of crime and gang violence and its large numbers of homeless and mentally ill residents, is it or was it ever a quality bohemian community comparable to the idealized Paris of the 1920s or New York in the 1960s? Are Big Development’s transformations of Abbot Kinney Boulevard and Rose Avenue from troubled tracts to tourist destinations all that bad for the neighborhood? “It’s a paradox,” O’Kane, a San Pedro resident who lived in Venice from 1985 to 2006, said. “Alongside the cheap living, there was a lot of crime — even now, although it’s a lot better than it was before.” But, as his book details, “The wish is to improve it as opposed to huge properties coming in and buying it and flipping it. [The goal shouldn’t be] to leave it in a fallow state. Unfortunately, the way it is being gentrified is part of the problem. People are being displaced.” What would Kinney, the tobacco millionaire who founded Venice as a resort town in 1905, say? O’Kane is upfront in his book that Kinney, who he Author John O’Kane fears newcomers won’t sustain Venice’s creative spirit (Continued on page 27) January 30, 2014 THE ARGONAUT PAGE 15

Patricia Rose travels the world through her Westchester cooking classes Photo courtesy of Patricia Rose

Patricia Rose wants “to teach people that cooking is easy and fun”

By Michael Aushenker For Westchester cooking instructor and culinary blogger Patricia Rose, food is a passport to travel the world. Ten years ago, Rose — a founding member of Culinary Historians of Southern California — started sharing her adventures through monthly cooking classes at Westchester’s Holy Nativity Episcopal Church. On Feb. 6, Rose reaches across the Pacific for a class titled “A Taste of Asia.” An itinerary of five quickie recipes includes: • Vegetable pot stickers from China (zhengjao) and Japan (gyoza) with a sesame-ginger dipping sauce • The “Evil Jungle Prince” from Keo’s Thai Restaurant in Honolulu — a blend of cabbage, chicken and coconut milk • Bulgogi: soy-sesame marinated beef lettuce wraps from Korea • Malaysian prawns and pineapple served over rice noodles •Pakistani ice cream with pistachios, cardamom and rosewater Rose will also show students how to whip up a batch of Thai iced tea to accompany the entrees, and the ice cream will be

discovered a treasure trove of cookbooks at the Los Angeles Central Library. It was in mastering and modifying those recipes that she found her calling to teach. Rose praised husband Chris Woodyard, a journalist who covers the automotive industry for USA Today, as the objective beneficiary of her culinary experimentation at home. “He’s very critical, even though he doesn’t deserve to be,” she said with a laugh. Rose, who is determined “to teach people that cooking is easy and fun,” said students who are newcomers to the kitchen should not be intimidated. “Sometimes we have mistakes,” she said. “Sometimes that’s the best learning experience when you rescue the mistake.” Patricia Rose’s “A Taste of Asia” cooking class runs from 6 to 9 p.m. on Feb. 6 in the community all at Holy Nativity Episcopal Church, 6700 W. 83rd St., Westchester. The fee is $40 before Monday or $45 at the door. To RSVP, email patricia@ freshfoodinaflash.com.§ Michael@argonautnews.com

made from scratch with milk and “with no egg or egg custard in it,” she said. Rose’s mission as a teacher and a writer — she’s blogged since 2010 at freshfoodinaflash.com — includes serving up recipes with a side of culture. “You learn so much about history and why we eat the things we eat,” Rose said of studying food. “I try to incorporate a little of that history into the class.” “A Taste of Asia” is one of 11 classes Rose has lined up for this year. September’s class, titled “La Cucina Italiana,” will also contain a bit of personal history. Rose used to work as an advertizing representative for the American edition of La Cucina Italiana (recently discontinued after 80 years of publication) and for McCalls magazine, work that led her to L.A.’s best restaurants and gave her the bug to study cooking at night. While at McCall’s, she took UCLA extension courses led by Cecelia DeCastro, who had worked with Wolfgang Puck, and food stylist Denise Vivaldo. While attending Culinary Historians of Southern California meetings in the mid-1990s, Rose

Lunch & Dinner 7 Days

In Fisherman’s Village 13723 Fiji Way, Marina del Rey (310) 821-1740 www.sapori-mdr.com

at Santa Monica Place, 395 Santa Monica Blvd. (310) 576-0600 redwoodgrille.com I like going out on Monday nights because you can generally get a table anywhere — at least anywhere that stays open on the slowest night of the week. There are drawbacks, though; there is something sad about a place that will seat 200 but has 15 people in it. That was the situation when we arrived at Redwood Grille atop the Santa Monica Place shopping center , having passed several other restaurants on the dining deck that were similarly forlorn. The greeting at the door was warm, and we were offered our choice of environments — a clubby bar, more formal restaurant space and an outdoor section with a view of the Third Street Promenade, all of it designed by accomplished Marina del Rey-based architect Stephen Francis Jones. The artistically lit patio was prettiest and is probably fantastic at lunch and on temperate evenings, but we elected to stay warm inside. Unlike some of the other restaurants in the area, Redwood Grille is a locally owned restaurant serving upscale and updated American food. The menu has the expected list of steaks, seafood and side dishes, plus some interesting items — I was intrigued by a salmon salad with spinach, strawberries and capers, but had a different reaction to a beet salad with maple vinaigrette. We had a choice of both the regular and Dine LA week menus, and my wife decided on the prix fixe while I chose from standard items. Both meals started very well, mine with green bean and potato soup, hers with a perfectly grilled boneless quail. The soup had spinach and onion along with the beans in a chicken stock, all ingredients well blended and harmonized. The quail was surprisingly moist and tender, a good sign since the small, lean birds go directly from raw to jerky in the wrong hands. Her quail was accompanied

Redwood Grille’s dynamic dining patio offers a meal with a view

by pleasingly moist jalapeno cornbread with bourbon butter and a sprinkling of herbs. We had arrived before 7 p.m. so decided to take advantage of the happy hour drinks, but couldn’t at first because no drink menu was at the table. When one arrived, it described the cocktails but not the wines; when I asked the server what wines were offered, he replied “chardonnay and cabernet.” He seemed bemused by a request for the names of the producers and made no move to find out. We decided to start with cocktails, a nicely made ginger martini and a Manhattan, and I ordered a mystery Chardonnay to accompany the entree. My wife had ordered a smoked pork chop with a blueberry sauce, while I picked grilled local halibut. The menu is terse, and I apparently misunderstood my server because I thought it came with both vegetables and a side — I had picked “Mediterranean quinoa salad.” The fish was tasty and moist, and I received a large serving of the salad, but the plate was otherwise bare. The pork also came with nothing but garlic mashed potatoes — there was obviously no thought of balance, either nutritional or chromatic. We both would have preferred a smaller amount of starch and some kind of vegetable, which would have made the plates more attractive as well as nutritious. We had ordered the thick-cut pork chop with the sauce on the side after an unfortunate incident at another restaurant where the sauce was sweet and liberally applied. This one had a pleasant

berry tartness, but we were glad it was separate because the brined and smoked pork was pleasant by itself. We alternated between dabbing bits in the sauce and having it unadorned. The potatoes could have used a dash of gravy or butter; however well they’re made, big pieces of pork and big lumps of potato just don’t offer much contrast. We finished with rum raisin bread pudding that came with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and a drizzle of salted caramel. Try as I might, I couldn’t detect any rum flavor, though the cakelike pastry with apples, cinnamon and nutmeg was good on its own terms. The caramel was lightly salted and contributed to the flavor, which we appreciated since salted caramel is a fad that is sometimes taken to extremes. We departed with the sense that this place is still developing; they’ve only been open for a few months and may still be working out the details. Dining in this area carries a premium, and even taking advantage of the Dine LA promotion and happy hour drinks we spent $80 for dinner, two cocktails and one glass of wine. That’s not unreasonable for a place a few blocks from the beach and with a fine view, and if they can get a bit more excitement and variety in the main courses, they’ll deserve it. § Redwood Grille, on the top floor at Santa Monica Place, is open from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

What are the pros of being a homeowner? This question comes up for many individuals who are wondering if they should make the investment in buying a home. While the ultimate decision will vary based on your current financial situation and goals, here are some pros to consider about homeownership, and how buying a home can save you money in the long run. You build equity. When you take out a mortgage, your initial payments will go mostly towards paying interest because of the structure of a typical amortization schedule. As you pay down your mortgage, the ratio of interest to principal (the actual money that you borrowed as part of the loan) begins to shift, and more of your money goes towards paying down your loan amount each month. As a result, you start to build more and more equity in the home that you can later use to refinance, or to take funds out of if you decide to sell. For example, if you took out a loan for $700,000

with an interest rate of 4.5 percent, you would pay $31,269 in interest in 2014, but you would pay only $11,292 towards the principal. But, by the year 2024, those payments will have shifted so that you would pay $24,866 towards the interest, and $17,695 towards the principal. You’ll have access to loans with low interest rates. As I mentioned in the first point, one great thing about owning a home is that you build equity. This leads to another benefit – using that equity when you need a loan. Current interest rates are at such lows (the average, according to Freddie Mac on January 17, 2014, was 4.41 percent) that a home equity loan will most likely have lower interest rates than other types of loans, like personal loans or student loans. For example, federal student loans were a whopping 6.4 percent for students starting school this past fall. You can be eligible for tax savings. There are a few different ways that owning your home could

make you eligible for saving on your taxes, and they can add up. One of them is the Mortgage Interest Deduction, which gives you the opportunity to deduct any interest you have paid on your mortgage for that year, up to $1 million. Last year, Americans saved more than $100 million from this deduction alone. If home renovations are in your future, you may be eligible for the Home Improvement Loan Interest Deduction. This one lets you deduct any interest you’ve paid on a home equity loan taken out for capital improvement purposes. Other deductions include private mortgage insurance deductions, energy efficiency deductions, and many others you may be able to benefit from. Since the deductions you may be eligible for can vary, be sure to check with your tax professional to see what you may qualify for. Your home is your clean canvas. Another great pro of homeownership – savings aside – is that

it’s yours, so you can do essentially whatever you want with it. Turn the backyard into a tranquil garden, or paint that mural on your hallway wall. You won’t need to get approval from your landlord, although your family members might have some opinions about your decisions. There’s great power in having the ability to make your own decisions about your living space, and that is perhaps one of the best things about owning your own home. Wondering how to get started on the road to homeownership? A good first step is meeting with your financial advisor who can guide you in deciding how much house you can afford and the types of loans you may be eligible for. From there, you can start the search for the home of your dreams. This week’s question was answered by Susan Williams, Gibson International, (310) 990-5685. “Voted Best Real Estate Agent on the Westside – The Argonaut 2013.”

Robert Lemle the forces of development [are winning]. In the recession, housing prices went down, but not as much as a lot of places. Rents are still really high.” As for the new generation of young creatives rising with the tide of Silicon Beach, O’Kane countered: “Creativity for what purpose? Bohemian spirit is usually about avoiding commercial impulses Making creative products is hardly the same as putting together novels and making art. Once the profit motive enters, other issues do, too: class and exclusion, for example.” Confronted with reminders that development had already in the 1960s and ‘70s squeezed out landmarks such as Pacific Ocean Park and Olivia’s Kitchen, O’Kane responds that “Venice has always been in [states of] transition and decay.” The lines blur and the answers don’t come easy, but for O’Kane the fertile spirit of Venice remains untamed. “It’s a force that takes over you and makes you want to create,” he said. § John O’Kane reads from “Venice, CA: A City State of Mind” at 8 p.m. Friday at Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center, 681 Venice Blvd., Venice.

describes as “a cultural visionary,” envisioned a stylized, pseudo-Italian wonderland with lofty amusements — something more akin to Rick Caruso’s The Grove than the chaotic, anythinggoes boardwalk of today. While Kinney had hoped to shape an environment ripe for fine arts and intellectual salons, he didn’t bank on the boardwalk’s sideshow spectacles, which over the decades gave root to a counterculture zeitgeist. “He wasn’t all that excited about the circus atmosphere … [but] he had a strong sympathy for Venice’s lower class,” O’Kane said. Despite the changes of the past decade, “Venice is different than Laguna and other beach communities. It has the long cultural legacy. You’re always going to have residues of that in Venice [despite] the way it’s going. It was a high-end place. Then came the Depression slum [from which followed] the Venice Beats in the ‘50s.” In his book, O’Kane exalts Aldous Huxley and, to a lesser extent, Jim Morrison of The Doors as poster children and positive byproducts of the Great Venice Experiment, with one caveat: “Huxley’s use of mescaline was to expand his consciousness. That can be seen as the healthy side; drugs enhancing consciousness instead of having a good time, blowing your mind.” He criticizes Morrison’s self-destructive drug use, but credits The Doors (named after Huxley’s 1954 book “The Doors of Perception”) for injecting psychedelic poetry and some artistic darkness into the mainstream. If asked to choose between Silicon Beach and 1960s Venice, O’Kane said unabashedly he’s “on the side of the bohemian scene” and bristled at GQ’s crowning of Abbot Kinney Boulevard as “the Coolest Block in America” last year. But O’Kane, also at work on a novel focused on contemporary Venice street life, does not believe the Venice he loves has been jettisoned completely: the checkerboard of modern architecture, the café and street cultures, the wild murals, the walkways are all still there. He praises the neighborhood’s community housing corporation and the beachhead collective. “Without them, the city would be Laguna by now,” he said. “The beachhead still brings a lot of that culture, a lot of political activism, but

Three visitors to London climb up the tower that houses Big Ben and decide to have a contest. They’re going to throw their watches off the top, run down the stairs and try to catch the watches before they hit the ground. The first tourist throws his watch, takes three steps and hears his watch crash. The second throws his watch and takes only two steps when he hears his watch shatter. The third tosses his watch off the tower, jogs down the stairs, goes to a candy store, buys a snack, walks back to Big Ben and catches his watch. “How did you do that?” asks one of his friends. “My watch is 30 minutes slow.”
