Screenwriter of ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ expounds on First Amendment Photo by Steven Douglas, Loyola Marymount University

By Gary walker Political speech, its power and importance, was the primary topic of an hourlong presentation by Hollywood screenwriter Mark Boal at Loyola Marymount University in Westchester Feb. 5. Boal wrote the screenplay for “Zero Dark Thirty,” an Oscarnominated film that generated controversy before its worldwide release late last year for its explicit scenes depicting torture as well as its subject matter: the search for terrorist Osama bin Laden, the Saudi-born mastermind behind the destruction of the Twin Towers in New York and the killings of nearly 3,000 Americans on Sept. 11, 2001. Boal’s appearance coincided with the Associated Students of Loyola Marymount University’s “First Amendment Week.” At the beginning of his presentation, Boal made the distinction between films and other forms of speech. ‘“Zero Dark Thirty’ is not a documentary or a report on the 6 p.m. news,” he explained. “It’s a movie.” The screenwriter pointed out the importance of allowing artists to have the freedoms guaranteed under the Bill of Rights to be able to express their points of view – whether popular or

reporter. Some members of Congress have alleged that the film’s director, Kathryn Bigelow, and Boal were given access to classified information to create their

movie, a charge they have both denied. “No classified information was used in this movie,” Boal said at the LMU event. LMU Senior Professor of

Screenwriting Marilyn Beker said it was understandable that Boal “kept a lot of things to himself” about how much and what he was told by those who (Continued on page 6)

Homeowners near LMU predict influx of student cars, reject parking district By Gary Walker Homeowners living in the neighborhoods adjacent to Loyola Marymount University say what many consider to be a longtime irritant for them may soon become a full-blown problem due to the university’s decision to charge its students to park on campus. Last year, LMU officials announced that they would be charging students and faculty for parking as one of the approaches to offset the costs of a 20-year plan to refurbish the university’s

existing infrastructure and attract additional students. The university is embarking on an ambitious campus renovation that was approved by the Los Angeles City Council in 2011. Its master plan will update many of LMU’s laboratories, offices, sports facilities and other campus infrastructure, including the creation of additional parking. Per the master plan, at least 600 additional parking spaces will be added. Students using the nearby

neighborhoods to park and walk to class has been an ongoing problem for years due to their proximity to the university, many of the homeowners say. But they expect many more to park on their streets now that that students will be required to pay for on-campus parking, and some angry residents say the influx has already begun. Lee Rittenour says the neighborhood parking problem has been exacerbated due to the new parking fees. (Continued on page 10)

What airport projects have shown us

Los Angeles World Airports’ proposal on moving the Los Angeles International Airport north runway 260 feet for safety reasons does not seem to conform to current operations. I have seen a double-deck AirBus A380 sit on the inside north runway while another jumbo jet, a Boeing 777, landed. Then the AirBus took off. One recent Sunday, just as a Singapore Air A380 landed on the outside north runway, a Korean Air A380 took off from the inside runway. Both instances were routine and without incident. One has to question how carefully LAWA gauges its operations and how well it perceives and anticipates operational needs. The Metro Green Line is 20 years overdue in getting into LAX. For years the concessions within the airport have been an embarrassment compared with

the outstanding cuisine created in this city which was kept out from the concessions. The terminals are drab, boring and devoid of interest. LAWA was deep into the construction of the new international terminal when it was discovered that the building will reportedly block the control tower’s view of some jets – this should have been discovered and corrected in the planning stages. LAWA continues to allow billboards along Sepulveda Boulevard to block the views of the iconic light towers, cheapening one of the best city art projects in memory. The LAX Transit Center, serving Southern California buses, is sorely lacking in clear signage to direct travelers from buses to the shuttles in Parking Lot C, and the shuttle waiting area structure in Parking Lot C is a disgrace of neglect and disrepair. History shows that LAWA has missed operational needs, or has turned a blind eye on how the airport treats travelers. Just, exactly, VOL 43, NO 7

Spreading the news around

Since moving to the Marina area seven years ago, I’ve read The Argonaut every Thursday because I felt it gave me a great perspective of the area of Marina del Rey, Del Rey, Westchester, Venice and other small communities. However, I must say that no longer applies. For some reason, The Argonaut has become another Santa Monica newspaper. I have nothing against Santa Monica, but they already have the Santa Monica Daily Press, the Santa Monica Mirror and the Santa Monica Observer, all fine periodicals which serve the needs of the occupants of that town. For this newspaper to have nine (count them, nine) articles about Santa Monica in the current issue is very frustrating. This is compared to a grand total of five articles about all of the other communities combined. And the same applies to each of the weekly issues for the last few months. One would be hard-pressed to find a copy of The Argonaut at any newsstand in Santa Monica but for some reason, the editors find it necessary to make that town the focus of the paper. Is nothing of significance taking place in the other communities I mentioned? I’ll provide one example – any driver who regularly uses Admiralty Way for the last year has dealt with the ongoing construction mess of lanes being closed, misleading signs posted or no signs posted before a lane is closed. When the state of California is in a budget crisis, is this the best expenditure of our taxes? What was

the intention of all that roadwork and what’s next? This construction is only due to accelerate in the rest of 2013. More detailed roadwork is planned. There is currently a plan to add a second left-turn lane at eastbound Admiralty and Mindanao Way. What is the county thinking? There are only a few yards between Admiralty and Lincoln Boulevard and the current single left-turn lane causes major backup for cars headed west on Admiralty and cars turning left from Mindanao onto Admiralty. So they decide to add a second lane for left turns? I would like to see the Argonaut interview the county planners to find out what are the further plans for the area and ask them why they don’t provide adequate or proper signage on that street. I would like to hear more about new businesses in our area which will never be covered in the Santa Monica newspapers. How successful are these ventures? How about apartment construction and occupancy rates? – not just a page listing the permits but some followup on what is happening. Obviously the new editors have decided to refocus The Argonaut and I realize it is a free newspaper, but it would be nice for the paper to go back to what it was for the last few years.

Venice

Zipline attraction gets approval for summer pilot project Rendering by Greenheart/Flightlinez

By Vince Echavaria The Venice Beach landscape will add a zipline attraction this summer, allowing visitors to soar across an area that is home to a skateboard park, graffiti walls, basketball courts and a famed workout pit. The 750-foot-long zipline, initially proposed for temporary installation last summer, was approved by the California Coastal Commission with conditions Feb. 7 for a three-month pilot program slated to begin Memorial Day weekend. Once the attraction is installed, harnessed riders will be able to fly from a 50-foot-high launch tower on the northern edge of Windward Plaza to a 30-foot-high landing tower near 17th Avenue and the basketball courts. Rides will operate between 11 a.m. and sunset and cost $20 per person, with some discounts offered. Los Angeles officials say the zipline, similar to those found in rainforests and other exotic locales, can offer beachgoers another form of amusement in Southern California’s second highest tourist destination, while providing needed funds for park maintenance. The city Department of Recreation and Parks plans to allocate two-thirds of funds raised through the ride toward cleaning beach restrooms and emptying garbage cans. “I think this is going to be a very fun and interesting activity at the beach. It’s very much in keeping with the Department of Recreation and Parks’ mission of providing public recreation,” Kevin Regan, the department’s assistant general

manager, told the commissioners. City Councilman Bill Rosendahl said he was ecstatic at the pilot project approval, which allows for a public/private collaboration to ensure services are provided for the millions who come to Venice Beach. “This is a great day for the city of Los Angeles in its commitment to public/private partnerships,” said Rosendahl. “This is a prime example of how the private sector and the government sector can work

together to provide basic services. “Thanks to the Coastal Commission we will be able to clean our bathrooms and empty our garbage cans in one of the busiest beach communities in the world.” The Venice Neighborhood Council narrowly voted to support the temporary installation when the project was first presented last year. The zip ride project is proposed by Greenheart Conservation Company/Flightlinez, a Canadian company that designs, builds and operates conservation based canopy walkways and other nature-based attractions around the world including Las Vegas, the Amazon and Rwanda. In addition to giving visitors the thrill of ziplining at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour over the beach, the project is intended to support the maintenance of the park, said

ice right now,” Venice Neighborhood Council member Ira Koslow said. “This is a beach for the public. We want a free beach.” Other concerns included impacts to traffic and noise from screaming riders, and some have objected to commercializing the beach. “It’s the responsibility of Recreation and Parks to keep our park clean without making deals that compromise the lifestyle and integrity of residents,” said Gail Rodgers, who filed an appeal against the proposal last year. “Parks are a core city service and they do not exist to generate revenue.” In an effort to prevent adverse impacts to scenic coastal views, commission staff recommended that dressing material be removed from the towers.

— Councilman Bill Rosendahl Ian Green, president and co-founder of Greenheart. “We’re looking at how to work within an area to create revenue,” Green told the commission. A key element of the Greenheart plan will be holding regularly scheduled classes and workshops on aerial acrobatics, juggling and hooping specifically targeting at-risk youths. The aerial attraction will also feature periodic evening performances involving lights. Funding for the classes and shows will be raised through zipline tickets. While the city maintains that the zipline will support needed park services, some Venice residents argued that the attraction will be out of place in an area where most forms of recreation are free and the two towers will block beach views. “This changes the whole nature of Ven-

Referring to concerns that the amusement ride would change the atmosphere of the beach, Commissioner William Burke noted that Venice was the largest amusement area in California when he first arrived in Los Angeles, and he believes the project deserves a chance. “I think the city deserves this opportunity to try it out,” he said. Rosendahl stressed that there will be a 90-day trial for the zip ride and any impacts will be assessed before it is considered again in the future. “We will obviously be sensitive to the community but we are going to be delighted to be able to finally clean our bathrooms and empty our garbage cans,” he said. §

Boal says political speech deserves the highest level of protection participated in the hunt for bin Laden. She agrees with Boal that political speech, in art and in society, should be guarded and preserved. “Look at Russia and what happened with the rock band (Pussy Riot) last year,” she noted. “Look at what happens to artists in China (who speak out against government repression). “Those societies are not free,” Beker continued. “We look to our artists in free societies to interpret historical events in real and compelling ways.” State Sen. Ted Lieu believes “all speech is not equal” and considers political expression to be one of the most cherished. “(Political speech) is different from commercial speech where a company can be sued if their product is marketed in a false or dangerous way or for misleading the public,” he noted. The senator, who is a colonel in the Air Force Reserves, cited the antics of a recent brand of political operators as an example of expression that should be tolerated. “I think the Tea Party Express makes some absolutely outrageous statements, but it is

a quote from Bigelow, who was asked about the torture scenes and if they were indicative of her feelings on enhanced interrogations. “Depiction is not endorsement,” the director said. Beker, who is the author of “The Screenwriter Activist: Writing Social Issue Movies” and “Ethics for Screenwriters,” concurs that it would have been wrong to leave torture on the cutting-room floor. “This was an account told to (Boal) on the process of finding bin Laden by people who were involved,” she said. “History tends to forget things that are not documented.” Boal said he personally is against the use of enhanced interrogation techniques, which has become a lightening rod for both liberals and conservatives. Those in the former category said the movie endorsed torture because of the scenes where agents from the Central Intelligence Agency performed the controversial interrogations on detainees, while several liberal actors called it an “endorsement” of torture, stating that it shows viewers that torture played a role in obtaining information that led to the capture

TINA HESS, a Del Rey resident who has served 25 years in the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office, believes she would offer a direct alternative to the status quo on the City Council.

Some of the top concerns she has heard from district residents include traffic/congestion, overdevelopment, homeless issues, Los Angeles International Airport projects and public safety. In regards to public safety, Hess believes cities need to do a better job in educating their citizens on how to prepare for a natural disaster like Hurricane Sandy that ravaged East Coast communities. The most significant challenge facing the city is the budget, she says, and officials need to prioritize core functions such as public safety and updating infrastructure. The city needs to tackle its budget challenges by finding ways to increase revenue, eliminating departmental inefficiencies and pursuing serious pension reform, she said. One of the primary challenges for Westside communities has been homelessness, and Hess believes the city should push the federal government to provide more housing for local veterans, as well as bring service providers to the table for solutions. At the same time, residents should be protected from impacts of RVs lining their streets, said Hess, who supported Rosendahl’s proposal for designated areas for people living in RVs to park overnight in concept. The modernization of LAX has been a controversial issue particularly for many residents of Westchester-Playa del Rey, who have strongly opposed a plan approved by the Board of Airport Commissioners to move the northernmost runway closer toward the communities.

dahl has stood by the concerned residents, and Hess says she would support the proposal that does not separate the north runways, while bringing the airport facilities into the 21st century. “In the event that moving the runway north is inevitable, then I think it’s the council person’s role to work with the community and the powers that be and mitigate to the extent that we can the impact on our residents,” she said. Another concern for Westsiders, primarily in areas like Venice Beach and along Abbot Kinney Boulevard, has been a lack of parking, something Hess feels could be mitigated with public parking structures that could help reduce drive-around traffic. Of the four primary candidates, Bonin, who has been Rosendahl’s chief of staff throughout his two terms, has garnered support from numerous elected officials and community organizations. Hess notes she has a difference in priorities to Bonin, hoping to preserve the character of neighborhoods by ensuring developers comply with certain conditions and that zoning laws are enforced. “I present a very direct alternative to the status quo,” Hess said. “If people are happy with the way things are in this district then they should elect Mike. If they want change, want to make sure their communities are safe and that we do everything we can to preserve the nature of our neighborhoods then they should look to me.” §

Parking district would require lifting current citywide moratorium “The parking has always been difficult but it is intolerable now,” said Rittenour, who lives on Gonzaga Avenue. “The gardeners cannot mow (lawns) because there is no place to park their trucks and use their tools. A plumber, workman, etc. cannot help the homeowner due to no parking.” Rittenour said her husband was recently forced to park three blocks away from their home. “This is inexcusable and unlawful,” she said. But Lynn Adelman, a homeowner on Nardian Way, says she has not noticed an abundance of additional cars in the neighborhood in recent weeks. “Nardian Way has been saved so far,” said Adelman, who resides three blocks from the Loyola Boulevard entrance. However, she anticipates that might change after more students begin to learn that they can park in the nearby residential streets for free. “I do not believe that we have seen the full impact yet,” she said. “When (more students) get ticketed on campus, I think we’ll see more of them parking on our streets.”

An advisory committee that was created in accordance with the master plan was scheduled to hold a community meeting to discuss the possibility of creating a district with permit parking for residents and their guests at the Westchester Senior Center Wednesday, Feb. 13. Councilman Bill Rosendahl’s office invited a member of the city’s Department of Transportation to address the topic of permit parking and what it would entail to establish such a district near LMU. Under an agreement forged between city officials and the university during the time that the master plan was approved, LMU agreed to contribute funds to help offset the cost of permits of residents who are in favor of restricted parking. Section 3.1.3.4 of the development agreement states, “(LMU), in the event of community requests for permit parking, to support the formation of a parking permit district, and to fund the cost of two annual parking permits per household for the area shown in Exhibit G, up to $24,000 annually, should a parking district be established by the Department of Transportation through the city’s standard

procedure for establishing such districts.” LMU Vice President of Communications Kathleen Flanagan said the university will not take a position on whether or not the homeowners should establish permit parking. “We are neutral,” she said. “At this point, we’re seeing a split with some who want it and others that don’t.” Richard Hofmeister, an architect who lives on McConnell Avenue and was involved in negotiations with LMU during the master plan discussions, said the question of preferential parking is a situation that does have some nuances. “The balancing act is that in order to pay for the master plan the neighborhoods had to agree that there should be a parking district,” he said. Rittenour rejected the notion of permit parking. “This forces the neighbors to pay for some-

thing that the university is causing and is taking no responsibility for,” she asserted. Adelman said neighbors with whom she has had discussions were also steadfastly against permit parking. “I am totally opposed to it,” she said. “It takes away my freedom and will make everything totally inconvenient.” Rosendahl, who represents Westchester, said the decision on whether or not to have permit parking lies with those who live near LMU. “If they don’t want permit parking, we’ll look to another strategy,” the councilman said. “But if the neighborhood feels strongly about it, then they will have to understand what permit parking is all about.” In order to establish a preferential parking district, a neighborhood is required to send the Department of Transportation a letter requesting such a district,

which will be followed with an informal meeting with transportation representatives. Residents must also submit petitions requesting the parking district, which is then followed by at least one public hearing if all necessary criteria are met. In order for a block to obtain preferential parking, two-thirds of the households on the block would be required to sign a permit parking petition prior to a request being granted, according to the municipal transportation department. Flanagan said that if enough residents voice support for the parking district, university officials are hopeful that the surveys and petition process can begin by the spring. Currently, there is a moratorium on preferential parking districts throughout Los Angeles. §

at Rosendahl. I purchased a single family home in a single family R1 neighborhood to raise my kids next to other single family kids in single family residences. I did not move in my home thinking that it was okay for a businessman that lives in Malibu or Orange County to purchase or rent the home next to me because of a lax ordinance and a lame duck City Council and pack 20 people that are undergoing drug and alcohol rehabilitation into three or four rooms and treat it like a cash cow. (The New California Gold Rush) reports from neighbors that have community care facilities next door, see them coming and going all day and all night, hanging out in the yard until the early hours of the morning with total disregard for their neighbors and packing the street with cars all day and all night. What planet are these two council members on when they feel that when 20 people suddenly move into a single family home with two parking spaces on the driveway, that parking should not be a problem or a requirement in the ordinance? I can guarantee they would not stand for it if it were their street. If Rosendahl was seeking a third term, he would not be supporting stuff like this. I hope his chief of staff who is currently running for Rosendahl’s seat is running for the hills, because if he is successful, he is going to have to deal with the fallout on this one down the road. There is a reason why they are called “single family residences.” If they are to change that, then maybe the property tax implications should change and be lowered. Steve Wallace Mar Vista

A relief from buckled sidewalks

Congratulations to all parties involved in finally removing the trees along Sepulveda Boulevard leading up to Los Angeles International Airport in Westchester. This situation was an eyesore for a long time and for people out there who feel sorry for the trees, I have only the following words: trees that have caused this kind of damage/roots should never attain the status of the “holy cows of India” like they seem to do in Santa Monica where I live. Now if there is additional fund-

ing available in the future, the city of Los Angeles has to take out/remove more mature trees because the sidewalks have become unusable. Take for example Charnock Road at Centinela Avenue in Mar Vista – the concrete plate of the sidewalk on one side has been lifted by the roots in the air and tilted on top. It looks more like an on-and-off ramp for the X Games. Why are the residents in this area putting up with a condition like this for so long? I can tell you the city has no money to pay for lawsuits when someone is getting injured. Plus, more and more people like me get on their bikes to stay in shape and because of high gas prices. McLaughlin Avenue, between Venice and Palms boulevards, is dangerous for bikes. Root damage from the trees has extended into the street and traffic lanes. All these trees have to go. What is the city waiting for? I had a severe bike accident right by Mar Vista Park in April 2011. The city has shown no respect for my situation. It is even harder or impossible to find a lawyer these days to fight for your rights. I personally was punished for my desire to exercise because I’m diabetic. Stefan Treff Santa Monica

Runway move displeasure

Re: “Airport Commission okays proposal for separating LAX north runways” (Argonaut, Feb. 7). One more time: this is not fair to residents of Westchester and Playa del Rey, who live close to this project. They have already taken out so many homes in this area, and now it is okay to move the north runway closer to this area? Some of these people had already relocated to this area as their homes had been taken away from past expansion. The alternatives are to use Palmdale or Ontario airports, which taxpayers helped pay for, and also the Long Beach Airport has a lot of room for expansion. I’ll bet none of the people on the Airport Commission who approved of this live in the area that will be affected. One does, and opposed this as I did. Now at 2 and 3 a.m. many planes take off and use the north runway over our houses to cut fuel usage. The quality of our lives will be greatly affected by this move, and the value of our houses will be completely ruined.

But the Airport Commission refuses to look into this matter. It’s called greed. Jeanne Moody Playa del Rey

Thumbs up for dine-in movies

Re: “Dine-in disappointment” (Argonaut letters, Jan. 24). My first reaction to the concept of “dine-in” theater was the same as the author of the above letter – who would want to eat in a theater? Then, just out of curiosity and to say I would never go back again, we went to the AMC 6 Marina Dine-In Theater. I am now spoiled for any other theater and have been back four times since they opened. My experience was not at all like the one of the author of the above mentioned letter. It is unfortunate that she had a bad experience with a rude person in the theater, but that can happen anywhere. I was pleasantly surprised with my first experience there and subsequent experiences have been consistently outstanding. They have their own restaurant on site and the food is excellent, prepared on site and comes out hot. The chardonnay wine is very good and all of the prices are very reasonable. The ventilation must be good since we have never been bothered by food smells. The reclining seats are very comfortable, especially for persons with back problems. I bring my own blanket and just settle in for the movie. The wait staff are excellent, very unobtrusive and helpful. The theaters are small with only about seven rows, allowing for large seats and space between them. Thus, visibility from all seats is excellent. You can see a floor layout of the theater online and reserve your choice of seating. The design of the total area is upscale, spacious and gives a strong feeling of community. I urge all readers and their friends to give this new concept in our Marina a chance and form their own opinions. Dr. Susan Moore Marina del Rey

What a way to stand out Re: Marina del Rey residents seeing red (and electric blue). The Shores apartments on Via Marina and Via Dolce have yet an-

other unhappy surprise for local residents. Instead of fitting in with existing Marina buildings painted in tasteful, serene, muted colors, this new 544-unit development is now in the process of being painted bright red and electric blue. These colors, apparently previously approved by the Design Control Board, are not accent colors, they are the actual colors of the new buildings. Because of the massive size of the Shores development, these garish, extra-bold colors will be seen for miles around, and will be a blight on beautiful Marina del Rey. Is this any way to treat your new neighbors? Karen Karlitz Marina del Rey

Singer-songwriter Trevor McShane will join headliners Gretchen Christopher of The Fleetwoods and Lloyd Price, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, for one night only at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23 at McCabe’s Guitar Shop in Santa Monica. McShane is the alter-ego recording artist of the prominent Beverly Hills entertainment attorney Neville Johnson, a leading advocate for artists’ rights who has been named one of the Hollywood Reporter’s top 100 power attorneys five years running, said representative Sheryl Feuerstein. “Johnson has a fascinating identity crisis, but when the earthy, sultry low voice picks up his beloved guitar, powerful musical moments are unleashed. Poetic lyrics and infectious mel-

odies start flowing and soon he fully embodies the Evolution of Cool, the dynamic new album by his musical alter-ego McShane,” notes Feuerstein. “He’s driven by a hybrid vibe he calls folk-rock-country-pop, but his touches of the blues in his music call to mind the gritty sounds of Mark Knopfler, Leonard Cohen and several other artists, while creating an original path of his own.” McShane has been a prolific songwriter all his life and recorded several albums, but Evolution of Cool is his first official release. His album includes the singer’s unique spin in French and English on “Beyond the Sea,” and fresh versions of Charlie Rich’s Sun Records-era song, “Lonely Weekends,” The Unique’s 1965 song “Not Too Long Ago,” and Gene and Eu-

nice’s rhythm and blues song “Poco Loco” from 1959. Johnson bought his first guitar at 20, and as an undergrad at the University of California-Berkeley, he was a DJ for the campus radio station KALX and the music critic for the school’s paper. A founder of the Beverly Hills-based firm, Johnson & Johnson, LLP, his several decade professional career, however, has been defined by being an advocate for “the little guy,” fighting for the rights of artists from all facets of the entertainment industry: songwriters, recording artists, actors, writers and directors, Feuerstein said. Tickets for the event are $20 and can be purchased online. McCabe’s is at 3101 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica. Information, (310) 828-4497, or www. mccabes.com.

Bru’s Wiffle

2408 Wilshire Blvd. Santa Monica. 310-453-2787 Among the culinary mysteries of American cuisine is that unlikely combination: chicken served on top of a waffle. There are claims that it was a traditional after-church lunch in Maryland or Alabama, a dish invented by displaced Southerners in Chicago, and that the breakfast and dinner items were first combined at a supper club in Harlem, NY. There are two things people agree on: chicken and waffles were an inspiration from the African-American community in the South, and when done right, it’s a tasty combination. I wanted to find chicken and waffles closer to home than Roscoe’s and decided to visit Santa Monica’s Bru’s Wiffle - A Waffle Joint. I had been puzzled by the name ever since seeing their sign – Who was Bru, and what’s “Wiffle” - a waffle? When I stopped in and asked a server, all became clear. The restaurant is owned by a Turkish woman named Bru, whose slight accent makes waffle come out as “wiffle.” She must have a good sense of humor about it, because she named the restaurant to include her eccentric pronunciation. The interior design has a sense of exuberant fun too: almost everything in cheerful yellows down to the flowers on the tables. The menu includes a variety of burgers, sandwiches and wraps, as well as just about anything that can be made starting with a waffle or a piece of chicken. There is chicken Parmesan, chicken curry salad, chicken paninis; as well as waffles topped with scrambled eggs and chili; bacon, grapes and goat cheese; pepperoni, cheese and tomato sauce, and one made churro style. Basically, if you ever thought of some way to use chicken tenders or put anything on top of a waffle, Bru’s is probably already serving it. My companion, a Southerner

who may have been slightly dubious about some of the creations on the menu, decided to have a standard chicken and waffles plate, while I celebrated my California heritage with a “Waco” – a waffle topped with taco fixings. The Waco is offered with either grilled or crispy chicken, and when I asked my server, he said “crispy” before I even finished the question. My companion ordered coffee, while I decided to try a sojubased Bloody Mary. Soju can do anything vodka can in a mixed drink, and it gave the right touch of crisp coolness to this one, which had a hefty shot of Tabasco sauce. The heat in that drink led me to expect similar vigorous spicing in the taco waffle (I can’t keep calling it a Waco because both my brain and spell checker keep thinking of the city in Texas). This was not the case – the crisp Belgian-style waffle was topped with chicken, lettuce, pico de gallo, cheddar, mozzarella and the merest hint of finely chopped jalapeños. A nicely balanced spicy salsa was available on the side, along with sour cream and honey, and a dash of both the salsa and honey added something. It was a fun meal; filling but not overwhelming. My companion’s Golden Chicken plate had a dusting of goat cheese and parsley over the waffle which added interest to what could have been a one-dimensional dish. With so few ingredients, we could focus on the qualities of each element. The

waffle was the American idea of a Belgian waffle - thick with a crisp exterior - and very good, but not made with the malted batter that creates something more like a pastry. (It’s very rare to find real Belgian waffles in Los Angeles, because the yeastbased batter needs to rise overnight and is hard to make in quantity). The waffles at Bru’s are at least the equal of Roscoe’s in my opinion, which is high praise. As for the chicken, I’m a traditionalist – skin on, bone in, and lots of herb seasoning in the batter – but I cheerfully admit that when made that way it’s less healthy and harder to eat neatly than skinless, boneless breast. That said, the chicken here was as good as chicken tenders get, crisp outside and moist within, and especially with the cheese and honey, it was delicious. Bru’s is an eccentric little gem, and it’s hard to imagine anyone not leaving the place with a smile on their face – the whimsy and décor make that certain, not to mention the low numbers on the bill. I’m probably going to have to return, if only to find out what it’s like to have a meatball marinara waffle with a churro waffle for dessert. Bru’s Wiffle – A Waffle Joint is at 2408 Wilshire Blvd. in Santa Monica. Open Tu-Fri 8 a.m. – 3 p.m., Sa-Su 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., closed Mo. Beer, wine and soju served, some outdoor dining.

“Perfect Storm” in Westside Real Estate

“During the past six months, we saw more activity and price increases than in the past five years on the Westside,” says Erik Flexner, a two-percent Coldwell Banker worldwide agent in Marina del Rey. “All categories from $200,000 condos to $2,000,000 beachfront homes seem to be getting snapped up. Multiple offers are the norm for well-priced homes. In addition, among our escrows, around 50 percent of the winning bids have been all cash offers.” What is spurring this bump in the market? “A perfect storm of historically low interest rates and a low inventory of houses at market prices,” estimates Flexner. And why so many all-cash offers? “Many people believe the stock market has reached a long-term high and are cashing out to take advantage of low rates and cheap real estate,” says Flexner.

PAGE 24 THE ARGONAUT February 14, 2013

Q: Why are we seeing multiple offers on homes again? A: To say the housing market has heated up is an understatement. Due to lack of inventory in our area (number of homes on the market) and low interest rates which has super charged buyer activity, we are again seeing multiple offers on houses for sale. Some homes are getting 15 or more offers, with the price going thousands over the asking price. When sellers receive more than one offer, they are often inclined to go with the highest one. However, price is only one factor to consider. One issue that can create challenges in a transaction is the appraisal. We are especially seeing appraisal problems in this market that is going up. A large cash down payment can salvage a transaction

that might otherwise fall apart if the property appraises for less than the purchase price. If the lender is willing to loan up to 80 percent of the appraised value, and the buyer needs a loan for only 60 percent of the price, the deal will probably stay together if the appraised value is 5 to 10 percent lower than the purchase price. If there is an appraisal contingency in the contract, the buyer could decide not to proceed with the transaction or try to renegotiate the purchase price. When the seller receives more than one offer, a Multiple Counter Offer form can be used. With multiple offers, a seller can do one of three things: He can counter all three; not necessarily with the same terms or price; he can counter two; or he can coun-

free storage

ter or just accept one. Acceptance of the counter offer will occur when the seller resigns the counter offer after the buyer has signed it. Let’s say your home is listed at $750,000. You receive three offers from qualified buyers. One is for $800,000 with 10% down and the contract includes an appraisal contingency. The second offer is for $770,000 with 40% down and an appraisal contingency. The third offer is also for $770,000 with a 35% down payment and no appraisal contingency. You are told by the buyer’s agent that the buyer has more money to put down if needed. If the comparable sales don’t support a price even close to the $800,000, the

offer from the “10% down” buyer could be risky – if the property doesn’t appraise. You could counter this buyer and ask him to increase the purchase price and his deposit and waive the appraisal contingency. You could ask the third buyer to raise his price to $800,000. Some of this information may be a little confusing. In a swift moving market, it is even more important to work with a qualified, experienced Realtor. If he or she is knowledgeable about this kind of market, they should be able to guide you through this process smoothly and with ease.

KIMBERLY WOODRUFF (second from left), a seven-year club member, will be recognized as the Boys & Girls Club of Venice’s Youth of the Year Feb. 21, along with finalists Jose Garcia, Briseida Vargas and Adam Fente.

Kimberly Woodruff, a senior at Culver City High School, has been selected as the Boys & Girls Club of Venice’s 2013 Youth of the Year, the highest honor a club member can receive. Woodruff, a two-time Youth of the Year finalist, will be recognized during a special ceremony at 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21 at Venice’s Google office, 340 Main St. This year’s other finalists include Adam Fente of Culver City High, as well as Briseida Vargas and Jose Garcia of Venice High School. “We are extremely proud of all four nominees,” said the club’s executive director Erikk Aldridge. “They have shown tre-

mendous ability, fortitude and ambition through a challenging process. Kimberly, along with our past Youth of the Year winners proves that the value of a club membership is immeasurable.” Woodruff has been a club member for seven years and was one of the co-founders of Girls PACT, a group for high school age girls that meets weekly to discuss relationships, choices, and to share information with other high school students. After graduating she hopes to go to college and double major in child development and accounting. “The Boys & Girls Club of Venice provided me with great

opportunities and helped broaden my horizons,” said Woodruff. “The club gave me something I did not have at home – stability.” The Youth of the Year honor recognizes outstanding contributions to a member’s family, school, community and Boys & Girls Club. Money donated by sponsors for the event will be split among the four finalists to support their college education. In addition to recognizing the Youth of the Year Feb. 21, the club will be presenting Community Leader Awards to club supporters Lisa and Alvin Michaelson, and volunteer board member Marty Goldberg.

A suspect was in police custody after striking a cyclist and driving into a Venice restaurant, injuring himself, the cyclist and two others, following a pursuit with officers Feb. 10, police said. The incident began at about 8:30 p.m. near Speedway and 20th Street in Venice, where officers initiated a pursuit of a suspect driving a truck. The chase led to Lincoln Boule-

vard and Vernon Avenue, where the suspect’s vehicle hit a bicyclist before plowing into the Wurstkuche restaurant, where patrons were inside, police said. The suspect, who suffered nonlife threatening injuries in the crash, was apprehended and taken to a local hospital for treatment, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson said. The cyclist and two others from inside the restau-

rant were also treated at a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries, the police spokesperson said. Police said the driver is facing charges including felony hit and run and felony evading. An estimate of the structural damage to the restaurant was not yet determined. The incident was under investigation.

Santa Monica

St. Monica High academic decathlon team named overall runner-up St. Monica High School’s academic decathlon team earned overall runner-up honors, its highest placing in the last four years, at the Southern California Private Schools Academic Decathlon competition Feb. 2. The Santa Monica school’s team competed at the Division 1 level for the first time and defeated traditional decathlon powerhouses with enrollments three and four times its size in reaching the runner-up position. Following divisional championships in 2010 (Division 4), 2011 (Division 3), and in 2012 (Division 2), the St. Monica team worked diligently for months in preparation for two days of the Division 1 contest that centered on the 2013 theme: Russia, coaches said. Day one consisted of the subjective tests, essay, speech and interview portions of the competition, while the second phase

consisted of the objective tests, including the oral “Super Quiz.” At the awards ceremony, the St. Monica Mariners team, coached by Social Studies department chair Jeremy Nelson, received 53 individual medals and earned third place overall in the Super Quiz on their way to defeating 28 of 29 private school teams from all divisions. Seniors Ryan Klippel and Audrey Min earned second and third place individual overall honors, respectively. Academic decathlon powerhouse Bishop Alemany High School took top honors in the overall competition this year. Teams from St. Francis High School in La Canada and Mater Dei High School in Orange County placed third and fourth in Division 1, respectively. St. Monica High could next qualify to compete in the California Academic Decathlon State

Championship in Sacramento in mid-March. As the team with the second highest point total at this year’s private school event, St. Monica’s overall score will be considered for inclusion into the state tournament if the team

score is comparable to scores from schools in other counties across the state, coaches said. High school academic decathlon teams generally consist of nine members, who are divided into three divisions based on

grade point average: Honors (3.75–4.0 GPA), Scholastic (3.00–3.74 GPA), and Varsity (0.00–2.99 GPA). Each team member competes in all 10 events against other students in his or her division.

Santa Monica

Mixed-use art deco property on Wilshire bought for $20 million A 38,000 square-foot mixed-use building at 631 Wilshire Blvd. in Santa Monica has been purchased by Los Angeles-based real estate investor Philip Orosco and his firm Pacshore Partners from The Lionstone Group for $20 million. The all-cash transaction is the third acquisition in Santa Monica in the last six months for the former Maguire Partners executive. The four-story art deco building features 11,000 square feet of

ground floor retail, 17,000 square feet of creative office space with 11-foot-high ceilings and four 2,500-square foot residential loft units on the fourth floor. The property was built in the 1950s, with the residential lofts and a recreation room added to the original two-story building in the late 1990s at a cost of more than $4 million. Current tenants include digital production and design studio Big Block and global IT firm EMC

Corporation. Pacshore is planning a multimillion capital improvement project that will include major façade and entry improvements, new private outdoor spaces, and renovation of the fourth floor residential units, according to Tom Majich of Los Angeles-based Industry LTD, which is overseeing the construction. The new owners are now in discussions with local restaurant operators and will convert the

Venice

New smart phone app directs drivers to available parking For motorists in Venice, the answer to where that next open parking spot is hiding could be at the palm of your hand. Los Angeles Councilman Bill Rosendahl and the city Department of Transportation have announced the launch of a parking system that utilizes smart phone technology to help residents and visitors find available metered spaces in Venice Beach. The new application can be used to locate parking in popular areas including Washington Boulevard and Pacific Avenue, Windward and Pacific avenues, and near Main Street and Rose Avenue, covering a total of 230 parking spaces, Rosendahl said. “As chair of the city’s Transportation Committee, I’m thrilled to have worked on this technology that is now available in neighborhoods from

downtown, to Hollywood, and right here in Venice Beach,” said Rosendahl. “The app will save you time, relieve congestion, and help you find a parking space faster which will help reduce emissions.” Zia Yusuf, president and CEO of Streetline, which operates the app, said, “We’re excited to be working alongside such an exciting, vibrant neighborhood and innovative councilmember. The addition of Venice will help make parking in the Los Angeles area easier as residents and visitors move throughout various parts of the city.” Rosendahl’s chief of staff, Mike Bonin, noted how studies have shown that in congested commercial areas, 30 percent of traffic is caused by people circling and looking for a place to park.

The new app installation is part of a pilot program, and if it is successful, it could also be used in other parts of the district, Bonin said. The parking system functions through wireless sensors in metered spots that send information from available parking spaces to mobile phones. “While driving, users can take advantage of the handsfree features such as the ‘follow me’ mode and voice guidance,” said Dan Mitchell, senior transportation engineer with DOT. “Of course, the city reminds users to always watch the road and use in-car devices safely and responsibly.” The free consumer guidance app Parker by Streetline is available on iTunes.

Marina del Rey

Non-profit to host Sail-a-thon fundraiser LifeSail, a nonprofit sailing organization that teaches leadership skills to underserved and at-risk youth, will hold its second Sail-a-thon fundraiser Saturday, Feb. 23. The event will be held at LifeSail’s docks at 14045 Panay Way, D-3300 in Marina del Rey. Similar to walk-a-thon fundraisers, the Sail-a-thon allows participants to sign up sponsors to raise money for charity. A suggested donation of $35 for each participant will go toward LifeSail’s programs.

Participants will spend a day on the water crewing aboard dinghy sailboats and sailing yachts, skippered by LifeSail staff and volunteers from the local sailing community. The event is open to adults over the age of 18, children 12 and over with parental consent, (children under the age of 12 need to be accompanied by their parents) as well as previous participants of LifeSail programs over the age of 9. No sailing experience is necessary. LifeSail was founded in 2003 by Matt Schulz, a profes-

sional marine surveyor and lifelong sailor. LifeSail’s curriculum teaches practical skills and life skills through the arts of sailing, boat-building and seamanship. These skills include STEM (science, technology, engineering math), as well as critical thinking, leadership, teamwork, ownership, self-confidence and life skills, Schulz said. To participate in the LifeSail Sail-a-thon, Carina Downing, LifeSail director of operations, at info@lifesail.org.

New L.A. city website, smart phone app launched Speaking at the inaugural Google+ Hangout at Google’s offices in Venice Feb. 6, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa unveiled the first citywide 311 smart phone application alongside the first major re-design of the city’s website in 15 years. “We’re investing in a smart, social, and open government. Our new 311 smart phone app will put city services right in the palm of your hand,” said Villaraigosa. The “My LA 311” mobile application will be available for download in the iTunes store and Google Play store on Monday, March 18. The app will allow residents to submit 311

service requests including pothole repair, graffiti removal, and bulky item pick-up through their mobile device. Residents will also be able to pay their Department of Water and Power bill and locate city resources like parks, swimming pools, and libraries through the Neighborhood Info map program. “The convergence of this new website, 311 app, and content manager position represents the dawn of a new age in the city of Los Angeles as we work towards an interconnected city, using all the brilliant technological tools being developed today,” said Councilman Joe Buscaino.

Features of the redesigned city website include live streaming home screen video, centralized job opportunities, and easy to access city services. The app was developed by Los Angeles-based 3Di Systems. “The city of L.A. has re-imaged its online presence,” said ITA General Manager Steve Reneker. “Our new site features richer content, social media connectivity, and online 311 services. I’m proud to say that we’ve built one of the best city websites in the country.” Information, www.LACity. org.

Officials mark milestone in Santa Monica High science, technology facility construction School district officials marked a milestone in the construction of Santa Monica High School’s Science and Technology Building Feb. 11, when a ceremonial “topping out” ceremony was held. The topping out signifies the completion of the structural steel framing of the building. Construction on the new $55 million science and technology facility was initiated in December 2011. Among those in attendance were Measure BB Advisory Committee member Judith Meister, Director of Facility Improvement Projects Stuart A. Sam, Superintendent Sandra Lyon, Board of Education members, and Samohi Principal

Laurel Fretz. Samohi students, including yearbook and newspaper staff took photographs and documented the event. “We are excited to commemorate this important milestone in the Samohi construction project and to celebrate the remarkable accomplishments we have made through our efforts of building a sustainable campus,” said Sam. School officials noted that 25 percent of the 836 tons of structural steel installed for the building was derived from recycled content. The project includes the construction of Centennial Plaza, which will create a gathering space for students during lunch, recess and school

events. The construction of the Science and Technology Building at Samohi, which includes 15 science labs, 18 classrooms, a computer lab, two special education classrooms, auto shop, and I-house administrative offices, is the largest project in the Measure BB program. Outdoor improvements include the reconfiguration of the north parking lot and a 125-space bicycle parking area. The softball field will be relocated adjacent to the new building and a new main campus entrance will be constructed at Seventh Street and Michigan Avenue.

Santa Monica High musicians selected for national youth orchestra Two Santa Monica High School students have been chosen to participate in the Inaugural National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America this summer in New York. Senior trumpet player Eli Brown and junior oboe player Ryan Roberts will represent Samohi in the national orchestra launched by Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute. The orchestra enables youth from

around the nation to join a faculty of leading orchestral musicians, and a world-class conductor for an intensive two-week residency, followed by a tour. As members of the orchestra between June 30 and July 23, the students will work with orchestra director James Ross and principal players from some of America’s top orchestras during a residency at Purchase College

in Purchase, NY. The participating musicians will be taught and mentored by players from some of the most celebrated American orchestras. They will then embark on a tour with maestro Valery Gergiev, principal conductor of the London Symphony, and violin soloist Joshua Bell, traveling to Washington, D.C., St. Petersburg, Russia, Moscow, and London.

Tora Bikson, Venice resident and longtime RAND researcher, dies Venice resident Tora K. Bikson, a nationally known advocate for ethics in social science research and a longtime psychologist at RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, died Feb. 1. She was 72. Bikson headed the human subjects protection committee at RAND for more than 25 years and was a leading figure nationally on ethical issues involving human participants in social science research, according to RAND. “Tora Bikson was an advocate for the highest ethical standards in social and behavioral science research, and she worked tirelessly to assure that the rights of people involved in research were respected,” said Michael D. Rich, president and CEO of RAND. “She also was a skillful and innovative researcher who made significant contributions to understanding

how technology influences our behavior.” Bikson was among a group of advocates who work to highlight the unique ethical issues over how to protect individuals who take part in social and behavioral science research. She served on a panel organized by the National Research Council that produced a widely regarded report in 2003 that recommended ways to strengthen protections for human subjects in social science research. “She was highly regarded and admired in this area of inquiry,” said Felice J. Levine, executive director of the American Educational Research Association. “One of her special qualities was how well she was grounded in both the complex issues of human subjects protection and the needs of scientific researchers.” Bikson joined the RAND re-

search staff in 1974. Her early research focused on the ways that technology altered human behavior in the office environment, including a series of studies about changes prompted by the early use of e-mail. She also studied the use of technology in education, as well as many issues involved in both individual and group decision making. Bikson received a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Missouri and a doctorate in psychology from UCLA. She lectured and taught at many universities during her career. She is survived by a daughter, Karra Bikson of Venice; a sister, Alesandra Lanto, of New York, NY; her partner, Fred Ruf of Venice; and her former husband, Thomas Bikson of Culver City. A memorial will be held at a later date at the RAND offices in Santa Monica.

Airport Marina Counseling Service to recognize Community Builders WISH charter spelling bee; Lions Club bingo and BBQ

By Geoff Maleman The Airport Marina Counseling Service will honor its 2013 Community Builders – Kathleen Hannon Aikenhead and the William H. Hannon Foundation – at its annual spring fundraiser at 6 p.m. Saturday March 9 at Loyola Marymount University. The event will also feature comedian and meteorologist Fritz Coleman of KNBC-TV. Based in Santa Monica, the William H. Hannon Foundation was founded in 1983 by the late Catholic philanthropist and real estate developer William H. Hannon. Following his service in World War II, Hannon returned to Los Angeles to develop residen-

tial communities and commercial shopping centers across Southern California. Today, the foundation carries on Hannon’s goals of supporting Catholic churches and schools, as well as hospitals and social service organizations that are focused on improving the lives of people in communities Hannon helped build. As president of the William H. Hannon Foundation since 1996, Aikenhead has overseen the philanthropic endeavors of the organization, and countless schools, nonprofit organizations and churches have benefited from its generosity. Aikenhead was unanimously elected chair of the Board of

PubliC notiCe CITY CLERK CASE # LEAD AGENCY: SUBJECT: PROJECT TITLE: PROJECT LOCATION:

NOP-13-003-AD Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) Notice of Preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Midfield Satellite Concourse (MSC) On the LAX property, elements of the MSC Program would be located east and west of the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT). The MSC facility would be located in the western portion of the LAX airfield within the Air Operations Area (AOA) west of TBIT, while the Central Terminal Processor (CTP) would be located east of TBIT in the Central Terminal Area.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The MSC Program consists of a new multi-level concourse located within the western portion of the airfield west of the existing TBIT and associated passenger processing space in a proposed CTP that would be located in the Central Terminal Area (CTA) of LAX. The MSC was approved in 2004 as part of the LAX Master Plan. The MSC Program also includes conveyance systems connecting the MSC and CTP as well as a new taxilane, taxiway, and aprons and utilities required to serve the MSC. The facility would be capable of serving both international and domestic flights, and would provide LAWA with the flexibility to accommodate existing demand for aircraft gates while modernizing other terminals at LAX and reducing reliance on the West Remote gates. Upon completion of the MSC Program, the concourse could accommodate up to 29 aircraft gates for Aircraft Design Group (ADG) III to ADG VI aircraft. ADG III aircraft correspond to narrowbody jets (for example the Boeing 737) and ADG VI aircraft correspond to the largest jet aircraft, often referred to as new large aircraft (NLA) such as the Boeing 747-800 and the Airbus A380. The full MSC Program concourse would occupy a footprint with approximate dimensions of 2,400 feet in length (north-south) by 140 to 160 feet in width (east-west). The MSC Program facility, including the concourse building and associated apron areas, would encompass approximately 60 acres in the western portion of the airfield and 6 acres in the CTA for the CTP. Due to the size and scale of the MSC Program, LAWA proposes to develop the MSC Program in phases. Phase I (“MSC North Project”) of the MSC Program is the construction of the northern portion of the multi-story MSC facility and associated improvements. The MSC North Project is intended to improve the terminal operations, concessions facilities, and overall passenger experience at LAX. The facility would be designed to serve both domestic and international traffic. The MSC North Project would provide LAWA with the flexibility to accommodate demand for aircraft gates while modernizing other terminals at LAX and reduce reliance on the West Remote gates. Later phase(s) would involve the development of the remaining components of the MSC Program described above and would be known as the future phase(s) of the MSC Program. Components associated with the MSC North Project include: 1) a concourse of up to 11-gates and associated facilities; 2) improvements to taxiways and taxilanes; 3) ramp tower or FAA supplemental airport traffic control tower to control aircraft movement around the concourse facility and associated airfield; and 4) utilities that support the MSC North Project. The MSC North Project site, including the concourse building and associated apron areas, would encompass approximately 36 acres in the western portion of the airfield. Enabling projects needed to implement the MSC North Project include demolition and relocation of existing structures, removal of five remain overnight (RON) aircraft parking spaces, removal and relocation of FAA navigational aids (beacon and antenna array), and removal and/or relocation of existing utility lines. Potentially significant environmental effects that may result from implementation of the MSC Program include: Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Public Services, Transportation/Traffic, and Mandatory Findings of Significance.
