LETTERS When did development become a sin? Re: Letters: From the Web, Feb. 12 I find it woefully appalling and intellectually offensive that a reader (“Sabine,” on “Legado del Mar Opposition Grows”) is unhappy that “developers drool at the prospect of building residential and retail so they can line their pockets with cash.” Would this same individual rather have Marina del Rey and Playa del Rey remain the saltwater marshes they were
100-plus years ago? Perhaps that writer does not work for a living or doesn’t believe in our free-enterprise system, which rewards people for actually accomplishing something in life. Is a developer or entrepreneur who spends time, energy and resources to create something of value not entitled to a return on their capital investment? In the business world this is called ROI, and Calvin Coolidge once proclaimed, “The business of America is business.” Granted, some developers are called
“greedy” by those who don’t understand what they do, but most developers seek to improve the community and add to its overall quality of life. The aforementioned reader also asks, “How about the novel idea of beautifying downtown Playa del Rey with native flowering plants?” A splendid idea to be sure, but perhaps he or she would be willing to pay for it on their own. In most instances, developers are well-intentioned, responsible corporate citizens who make diligent efforts to add
or create value by building or improving anything that provides benefits to customers, and residents are fully entitled to enjoy the fruits of their success.

Worth the Wait Tech-minded young women finally get their day at Playa Vista hackathon chance to lead in technology, new ideas — particularly related to issues facing women — come to the forefront, as child trafficking victims tend to be girls. “We can report on animal abuse and we can report pot holes, but we can’t report on children in danger? Don’t you think our children are worth more than a pothole?” said Ruby Guillen, who pitched the idea. Jonathan Aghachi, a Cal State Northridge student who also worked on the app, said the idea probably wasn’t something he’d have thought to do on his own. “In my classes I always notice there are all guys. Finally, in one of my last classes there were two girls,” he said. At the neighboring table, Cynthia Liu, Kamie Robinson and Ema Lalley were also toiling away with their team to create an application that would allow Kamie Robinson designs the demo interface for a mobile application to help users people to better locate parks in locate public parks LA.

By Jenny Cain Getting to the Wonder Women Tech conference two Saturdays ago in Playa Vista wasn’t easy. Aside from the years-long gender bias against female participation in the tech industry that created the need for such an event, conference coordinators initially provided the wrong address for the old Spruce Goose hangar, an unfamiliar destination for this OC girl. I was told to show up early for the hackathon — a collaborative software development gathering I’d waited a year to attend — but when I arrived there were hardly any hackers around. An event organizer offered me $5 to get some Starbucks while I waited, which was nice but not why I came. Maybe 7 a.m. really meant noon in some computer code I hadn’t learned yet. Emily Yamane, a first-year math major at UCLA, also sat out the wait in order to attend her first hackathon. “Technology is so big. I want to be involved in something people can relate to,” Yamane said. And two hours later it was magic: hundreds of participants explored activities, booths and panel discussions with dozens of rotating speakers. In the hackathon space, a few dozen people began to team up at various tables. I sat next to Tamia James, a ninth grader at Beverly Hills High School whose older sister, a successful iOS developer, had encouraged her to pursue
Spiritual Death on Venice Beach Twice homeless, I’ve seen self-love and lust for money blind our souls to the misery of others By Edward LaGrossa In response to “Transient-related crime is no exaggeration,” Power to Speak, Feb. 19 “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40 There is a funny South Korean drum-and-flute brigand that for years has been marching up and down the Venice boardwalk chanting “Je-sus Christ, Je-sus Christ,” while everyone is yelling back at them: “If you
loved Jesus you’d feed us.” What on Earth have we become in Venice? The homeless have been slowly dying right in front of our soul-dead eyes for several
decades now, and all we do is pretend they are somehow less human than we are — and oh so self-righteously, I might add. People would step over a dying homeless man to worship a dead

homeless man from 2,000 years ago they do not know or understand and think they are doing something good. I became homeless back in 1974 when my mom suddenly died. I was 18 then and never knew my dad. For a long time I slept in my car. I was glad I had one. Today I’m a music producer with my own 24-hour access studio, but as little as 10 years ago I was a homeless musician on the Venice boardwalk — this time after a vicious divorce in which I lost my children to a cruel and unusual family court system.
I was a broken, angry man but Venice took me in. Through the love of some people (mostly women) feeding us homeless every day on the Venice boardwalk, I was slowly nurtured back to health and finding fulfilling work. Everyone on the boardwalk has that potential. Ever talk to a homeless person? Ever look at them in the eyes with real sincerity as if they were your long-lost child and ask them what happened to them in (Continued on page 9)

Marina del Rey Opening Day 2015
A Marines color guard raises the Santa Monica Windjammers Yacht Club member Norm Peron gets flag at Cal Yacht Club into the samba groove Story and photos by Pat Reynolds The 2015 boating season is officially upon us, even if last year’s never really ended. Last weekend members of each of the six major Marina del Rey yacht clubs donned their blue blazers and white trousers on Saturday and Sunday to celebrate Opening Day, a boating tradition that began long ago with clubs on the far less temperate East Coast. The invite-only Opening Day ceremonies in Marina del Rey are steeped in traditions and rituals that include the sounding of a cannon and the march of a color guard. It’s a time for clubs to showcase themselves for visiting represen-
tatives of local organizations and other yacht clubs up and down the West Coast. “All these dignitaries, who may never be at our club again, get a chance to see what we are all about,” Santa Monica Windjammers Yacht Club Commodore Themis Z. Glatman said. “All the clubs strive to look their best and prove to the community that they are indeed capable of running a successful enterprise. It is also a time to show appreciation for our membership for all their efforts they put forth in the previous year.” Opening Day offers rival clubs the opportunity to celebrate each other. “I find it amazing how, for two days, clubs who vie for members
among the small group of people in our community come together and celebrate everything. We all stand together,” said Kathryn St. Amant, vice commodore of the South Coast Corinthian Yacht Club. Glatman’s club was the first event of the day and kicked the festivities off with an infectious infusion of rhythm and energy. Tapping into her South American roots, Glatman employed two scantily clad and ornately costumed Brazilian dancers to get the parties started. Hips gyrated to a persistent samba beat as guests began the weekend, many of them holding a fresh bloody mary served from a seemingly bottomless punch bowl. Cocktails aside, an undertone of

military respect is generously sprinkled throughout the ceremonies. Every club provides a color guard to present the colors, the pledge of allegiance is usually read by a child and the Star Spangled Banner belted out by a local vocalist or two. Plenty of saluting, too. Although Opening Day involves live bands, home-cooked food, champagne and plenty of socializing, there can be — let’s admit it — some stretches of tedium that come with all the repetition. At all but one club, each invited dignitary is introduced and individually saluted to by the presiding commodore. It takes a bit of time, but the audience sits patiently while the many names are read.
Steve Napolitano, deputy to Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe, summed it up best when at one ceremony he teased the crowd that “this is the only event I’ve ever been to where the entire audience gets introduced.” In all seriousness, Opening Day ceremonies involve an enormous amount of preparation, work and expense. But from the food and entertainment to the timing of the canons and speeches, it’s also a labor of love. “It really takes months to plan and days to execute,” said Glatman. “My heart was overjoyed with the amount of time our members spent volunteering and the work they put into this.”

their lives? I have. And they all have the same story to tell. They were rejected, beaten or raped by a parent, sibling, husband or lover and they haven’t emotionally recovered from our cruel, indifferent, money-worshiping society. So they sit and wait out death right in front of our cold-blooded eyes. The contrast between the rich and the poor in our beach community has reached a dangerous level where we’ve created desperate people who resent being left to die while they see us luxuriate in our financial splendor and self-love. The lust for money in our society has brought this spiritual death right to our shores quite literally. With the influx of 20- and 30-somethings building castles for themselves through their concocted Silicon Beach real estate scheme that only young, rich and self-obsessed tech nerds can enter, we have become one of the most stratified communities on the planet. What is our saving grace? We can adopt a homeless person. Not literally, but spiritually. Give him a shower every once in a while. A meal. Some clean clothes. Let him talk. Don’t lecture him. Don’t condescend to him. Love him from afar. Love the homeless just the way they are. They don’t have to move into your house. Love them without designs. In their raggedness. Love their way of looking at things. Look how they live and die, and compare that with how you watch TV on an average of five hours a day if you’re a typical American — thereby, you don’t live life at all. Life is a precious thing. We waste it for the most part because we do not know how to love selflessly. This is how to love; how to give your life depth and meaning. This is Venice Beach. We all want a safe beach. This is how we will get one. This is what mankind has been doing for each other for thousands of years. The extreme narcissism of our present society can be reversed by a very simple gesture of empathy and compassion for a fellow human being. And we can do it on a massive scale, with Venice Beach leading the way. That is creating a balanced, real and fulfilling life. Share yours with those who materially have nothing yet can teach us the meaning of freedom and compassion, raising the spiritual value of life for us all.
thwarted by residents who are armed and prepared to use their firearm. If indeed “Venice Needs More Cops,” as an earlier Argonaut headline suggested, this is all the more reason to invite and encourage residents who are fearful of home invasions to be in a position to neutralize danger — thereby avoiding becoming victims! It should be noted that even if
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck stationed more police officers in what are being described as dangerous Venice neighborhoods, their response time is likely to be more than 60 seconds. And that’s all it takes for a home invader to confront and threaten and strike fear into the rightful occupants. An armed resident could easily respond in less than a minute, thus neutralizing the danger. Dennis Schachter Mar Vista
FROM THE WEB: Re: “Getting the lead out,” cover story, Feb. 19 At least now, hopefully, when people visit and parents bring their children to the observation deck at Santa Monica Airport, they will be informed of the hazard they are being exposed to with regard to lead. Now they need to do the same for the hazards from jet fuel emissions. MaritnRubin2012

By Tony Peyser It’s been a tough several weeks for aging celebs, starting with Madonna tumbling down a flight of stairs at the Brit music awards. The Material Girl later admitted the fall was proof “that the universe was trying to teach me a lesson.” I doubt she’ll install one of those chair lifts for stairs at her next live show, but she does appear to have gotten more than a tiny hint about what she can and cannot do on stage at her age. This, good guess, brings us to Harrison Ford’s crash landing on the eighth hole of the Penmar Golf Course next to the Santa Monica Airport. The action hero actor, who reportedly owns a dozen or so planes, is lucky to be alive — especially when you realize that the end of his ill-fated flight, after clipping a tree, was dropping to the ground from 100 to 200 feet. Indie music darling Neko Case arguably had the best tweet: “Not to minimize the seriousness of Harrison Ford’s crash, but he was smart to choose a golf course. WAY more docs there than at a hospital!” Indeed, Ford was fortunate enough to receive instant medical attention from physicians who happened to be on the course at his moment of need. Thanks, Obamacare. Subsequent news coverage has noted two other flying mishaps Ford has had since getting his license some 20-odd years ago. If wife Calista Flockhart can’t bring herself to tell the hub his flying days are finished, perhaps she can take a page out of Nancy Reagan’s playbook. You may
recall the ex-First Lady prevailed upon the man who managed the stable at their Santa Barbara ranch to inform our 40th president that he needed to become a former equestrian. Ford’s crash resonates in a special way locally because of the longtime complaints from nearby residents about the perils of living close to an airport that has come to resemble horribly annoying neighbors who, despite repeated complaints, refuse to move. Ford has embarrassed the pro-airport movement in the
lives, not having engendered them. Lazy media outlets will love referring to Ford’s real world derring-do. Third of all, take a breath: It could have been a lot worse. No, I’m not talking about other people winding up at the ER. How awful would this scenario have played out if the pilot hadn’t been a bona fide star but some Hollywood has-been? Imagine Chevy Chase in that cockpit. Did you see him at SNL’s 40th reunion? He was sweating more than a banker at a House hearing on the adjustable rate mortgages that caused the 2008 financial collapse. What matters most in America isn’t family or God or even money: It’s celebrity. Fame, like a top plastic surgeon, can airbrush away any unsightly problems that may arise. Bearing that in mind, Santa Monica airport backers should immediately go on the offensive about what a treat it is for mere mortals to have run-ins with the folks we peons can only dream about. Even if Ford elects not to fly again, there are still lots of high-wattage names with pilot licenses who use SMO, like Tom Cruise, John Travolta and hotel impresario Steve Wynn. They
Ford has embarrassed the pro-airport movement in the same way a notorious teetotaler would if he flunked a breathalyzer and a field sobriety test. The anti-airport groups don’t need my help — this is an early Christmas gift. same way a notorious teetotaller would if he flunked a breathalyser and a field sobriety test. The anti-airport groups don’t need my help — this is an early Christmas gift that they’ll have no trouble using to galvanize their efforts. Hell, Ford even donated $26,000 to the big money behind keeping the airport just as it is. If I were to become a consultant for the Santa Monica Airport Association, I’d advise them not to panic. First of all, stop calling it a “crash” and start referring to what happened as an “incident.” It sounds so much more benign. Second of all, play up Ford’s heroics: Emphasize his saving
could no more resist keeping their private jets in hangars there than former Gov. Schwarzenegger could resist keeping his hands off his maid. (Did I mention that Arnold also has a plane there? Yeah, he does.) The bottom line: Who wouldn’t want to have one of them literally drop into your backyard? Ford’s emergency landing is nothing more than wake-up call to the upside of air mishaps. It’s all good as long as it involves people whose names regularly wind up in the tabs. Finally, there’s a way for those of us in the cheap seats to keep up with the Indiana Joneses.

Pier 44 rebuild would bring in Trader Joe’s Brand-new boat service center, yacht club, West Marine store and restaurant also part of 13-acre plan
A rendering depicts a seaside Trader Joe’s in Marina del Rey By Gary Walker Plans to demolish Marina del Rey’s existing Pier 44 boat service center and build a 13-acre waterfront retail-andrecreation complex moved one step closer to becoming reality during a county hearing last week. On Admiralty Way between Bali and Mindanao ways, Pier 44 currently includes harbor boat slips and boat sales, maintenance and dry dock storage facilities. Project developer Pacific Marina Ventures LLC envisions seven new buildings on the site, including a waterside Trader Joe’s specialty grocery store, a new location for the West Marine boating supplies store, an 8,000-square-foot restaurant space, a new home and dry dock storage for the South Coast Corinthian Yacht Club, a boaters’ lounge with restrooms and showers, a boat repair shop, boat sales offices and a room for hosting community meetings — all linked together by a pedestrian promenade. Aaron Clark, the land-use consultant representing Pacific Marina Ventures, said county planners are now developing their final environmental review of the proposal, with its planned 4.68 acres of waterfront development having already cleared the California Coastal Commission approvals process. While waterfront restaurants are commonplace in the marina, a seaside grocery store certainly isn’t. But Clark said being on the water would be among the new
Trader Joe’s most attractive features, especially for recreational boaters. “Folks will be able to pull their boats up to the dock or come by water taxi and shop if they like,” said Clark, who works for the downtown Los Angeles law firm of Armbruster, Goldsmith & Deklvac. Pacific Marina Ventures, he said, will begin soliciting additional retail and restaurant tenants after the project is approved. “We’re looking for a high-quality restaurant to go in there. We imagine that the market will be anxious to fill the space,” Clark said. South Coast Corinthian Yacht Club Commodore Trevor Bazeley said the organization’s board has been in talks with the developer about construction of a two-story building that will house a kitchen, dining area and bar as well as boat storage for club members. “We’ve seen the drawings for the new facility, and now we’re just waiting for the next steps,” Bazeley said. Jon Nahhas, a vocal critic of county redevelopment plans for Marina del Rey, distributed a set of talking points before the March 4 hearing at the Marina del Rey Hotel that argued the project would bottle up traffic at Mindanao — a vital public thruway into the marina — and hinder community access to nearby Burton Chase Park. Clark acknowledged that there would likely be traffic delays

and congestion during construction but said the developers will pay $2.3 million in county traffic mitigation fees. “That is the highest fee for any developer in Marina del Rey to date,” Clark said. “I’m not saying that it will be a panacea for traffic in Marina del Rey, but it is a great expense by the developer to help mitigate local and regional traffic. There will be careful attention paid to traffic mitigation.” Beth Holden-Garland, a resident of the marina’s Silver Strand, said she believes there’s already too much development occurring all at once in the harbor. “I’ve been to so many of these meetings, and it seems to me like no matter what we say it will have no impact on our elected officials. Our collective concern is about the trees in the [Marina del Rey] area marked for removal and how they are an important habitat for birds in the area — including the great blue heron, egrets and black crowned night herons, among others,” Holden-Garland said. “Also, there are [already] two Ralphs, a Gelson’s and a Pavilions in Marina del Rey. Do we really need a Trader Joe’s?” The plans must still pass through the county’s Regional Planning Commission, but Clark said the L.A. County Board of Supervisors won’t be required to review them unless there are appeals to the environmental review process. gary@argonautnews.com

Harrison Ford’s plane crash stokes calls for airport closure Aviation boosters praise Ford’s handling of engine failure, but many living under the flight path are tired of worrying Photo by Mia Duncans
By Gary Walker For Carlos Gomez, actor Harrison Ford’s crash-landing in Venice was a little too close for comfort. A Dewey Street resident, 39-year-old Gomez lives less than 100 yards from Penmar Golf Course, where Ford brought down his vintage Ryan PT-22 airplane last Thursday. “This is the fifth time I’ve seen a plane crash here, and I’m afraid that someday some big jet is going to crash into my house or one of my neighbor’s houses. Just imagine if that happened,” he said. According to a preliminary report issued Monday by National Transportation Safety Board investigators, Ford reported engine failure to air traffic control shortly after taking off from nearby Santa Monica Airport and requested “an immediate return.” Ford reportedly clipped a tree on his descent to the golf course but emerged from the wreck with only moderate injuries. No one on the ground was injured, but Gomez isn’t the only one fearful of future crashes with deadly consequences. For many airport neighbors in Santa Monica, Venice and Mar Vista, Ford’s golf course landing has resurrected memories of other crashes along the Santa Monica Airport flight path. It’s also renewed critics’ calls for the airport to be closed. “It’s really, really scary to think how close it came to these homes,” said Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin, who represents Venice and Mar Vista. “I join my constituents and my neighbors in saying that this [airport] needs to be shut down.” Airport supporters caution against jumping to conclusions. Christian Fry, vice president of the nonprofit Santa Monica Airport Association, takes issue with calling Ford’s landing a crash because Ford remained in control of his plane and was able to land it without striking a building or harming anyone on the ground. “Aviators who operate out of Santa Monica Airport are very well trained, and [Ford’s] forced landing is an example of a well-trained pilot using his training to execute a perfect forced landing,” said Fry, a pilot and Santa Monica resident. “That’s the advantage of having a golf course adjacent to the airport. This provides an alternate landing space.” But there have been several deadly crashes in the not so distant past. In September 2013 a Cessna Citation 525A crashed into an airport hangar, killing 63-year-old Mark John Benjamin, who was president and CEO of the Santa Monica firm Morley Builders, Benjamin’s son Luke, 28-year-old Lauren Winkler and Kyla Dupont, 53.
Harrison Ford’s vintage plane came to rest near the eighth hole at Penmar Golf Course Westchester resident Sean McMillian, who flew charity flights, died in August 2012 when his Cessna 210 single-engine plane crashed in West Los Angeles as he tried to return to Santa Monica Airport. A Cessna 172 crashed in the backyard of a home near 21st and Navy streets in August 2011, the pilot suffering a broken leg and crash injuring a man working nearby. A 60-year-old pilot was killed when his single-engine Cessna 152 crashed at
plane crashed on the Santa Monica Airport runway, which is less than 250 feet from a residential neighborhood, shortly after takeoff. A January 2009 runway crash killed two men, and in 2004 a plane crashed into a Mar Vista home. John Jerabek, a member of the Santa Monica Airport Association’s board, said crashes of small planes attract significant media attention and often trigger public fears but happen far less frequently —
“This is the fifth time I’ve seen a plane crash here, and I’m afraid that someday some big jet is going to crash into my house or one of my neighbor’s houses. Just imagine if that happened.” — Carlos Gomez, Dewey Street resident
Penmar Park (next to the golf course) in July 2010. Through a flight school he had been practicing a “touch-and-go” landing procedure in which a plane lands on a runway without coming to a full stop and then takes off again. Another pilot was hurt in August 2009 when his single-engine Long-EZ propeller
and with fewer deadly consequences to bystanders — than traffic collisions. “Aviation is held to a higher standard by default. If a car takes out a cyclist that might not make the evening news, but if an airplane makes a forced landing it’s an international story — no matter who it is,” Jerabek said.
Meanwhile, sky traffic at Santa Monica Airport has been on a steady decline. In 2000 there were 172,754 departures and landings at Santa Monica Airport, according to airport records. In 2013 there were 95,152. The airport has simultaneously experienced a steep decline in propeller plane operations, from 111,943 departures and landings in 2004 to 78,307 in 2013. Jet traffic has increased as a percentage of airport traffic, but it too dropped from a high of 17,575 departures or landings in 2007 to 14,284 in 2013. Some Venice residents argue that the Santa Monica Airport traffic should fly over Santa Monica, not Los Angeles. Federal aviation officials tested an alternative flight path over Santa Monica in 2010 — a change that prompted 41,862 associated airport noise complaints versus 3,693 in 2011. Venice resident Ilana Marosi lives under the flight path and like Gomez fears the day that an airplane might crash into a populated area. “Thank God that he’s alive,” Marosi said of Ford, “but this airplane could have gone into any one of our homes.” Venice resident Mindy Taylor-Ross, a member of the Venice Neighborhood Council’s Santa Monica Airport Committee, said Ford’s landing should be a “wake-up call” to federal aviation authorities that “Santa Monica Airport is a danger to the surrounding community and must be closed.” Santa Monica officials seeking to wrest control of the airport from federal officials argue that an operating agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration expires on July 1; the feds say it’s good until 2023. “There is no question in our minds that the Santa Monica Airport needs to close this July. That will truly be an Independence Day for Venice and people in the region,” Taylor-Ross said. Santa Monica Mayor Kevin McKeown anticipates more calls for the airport to close during a March 24 city council discussion of airport lease agreements. “I think we’re likely to determine next steps but not make a final decision on the future of our land now being used as an airport,” McKeown said. Underscoring the complexity of the debate, even Marosi has mixed feelings. “The noise pollution from the airplanes is the most disturbing issue to me, and I would also like to see the smaller jets banned,” she said. “But for emergency purposes, it’s good to have an airport close by.” gary@argonautnews.com March 12, 2015 THE ARGONAUT PAGE 13

Peek inside the Westside’s first true brickand-mortar craft brewery
The north side of Santa Monica Bay is known for world-class beaches, restaurants and other entertainment options … but not for making great beer. For area craft brew devotees all the action is in the South Bay, with popular local breweries in Torrance, Redondo and Hermosa, and the celebrated El Segundo Brewing Company operating just under By Rebecca Kuzins the LAX line. Photos by Ted Soqui Santa Monica Brew Works — the Westside’s only true brick-and-mortar brewery — wants to bring the craft brew movement home for those who, in the words of its slogan, are called to “Drink really local.” “We wanted to build a local business that honored the city that we love and make a great beer in the place that we love —

Santa Monica,” says Santa Monica Brew Works President and CEO Scott Francis, one of the company’s three principals. While other entrepreneurs in Santa Monica and Venice have also gotten into the hops-and-malts racket, they’re all contract breweries. That isn’t to say there’s anything wrong with those beers.
The recipes tend to be concocted locally, it’s just that the batch you’re drinking wasn’t actually manufactured here. Santa Monica Brew Works stands apart in that all its products are produced at its own brewery on Colorado Avenue near 20th Street. That gives it the privilege to call itself “the first truly local craft

brewery in Santa Monica,” whose “‘beach brewed’ philosophy fully embodies the essence of the world-renowned Santa Monica lifestyle … past, present and future.” Santa Monica Brew Works makes three craft beers using recipes created by Drew Pomatti, a Santa Monica native and homebrewer who is now one of two brewers employed by the company. There’s XPA (an extra-pale ale), PCH (a golden porter made with milk chocolate, honey and vanilla beans) and WIT a “Belgian style white beer, really pale, with a good portion of wheat,” Pomatti says. “We’ve really been well received. People love fresh beer,” says Carl Sharpley, director of sales and distribution. “They like that we’re a small company and like to support local companies.” Although the Santa Monica Brew Works has been producing beer since June 2014, Francis says the company has intentionally kept things quiet — the partners wanting to break the 100-customer barrier before starting a more aggressive marketing and sales campaign. As of February, they’ve finally reached that goal. Initially, the company focused on marketing to bars, restaurants and hotels in Santa Monica, Venice and Malibu. “I would literally go with an ice bucket in
my trunk and a shoulder bag and introduce myself, asking them to try the beer,” says Santa Monica Brew Works co-owner Richard Super, executive vice president of sales and marketing. In Santa Monica, Super has landed accounts with Border Grill, Finn McCool’s, The Lobster, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Mondo Taco, Bar Chloe, Pizza Antica
tinely asking him “Where’s the local brewery?” Tired of explaining that there was no local brewery and simultaneously realizing there was a demand for one, Sharpley set out to create a Santa Monicabased brew works. Through a mutual friend Sharpley met Super, a Santa Monica resident for 24 years who arranges tours for comedians.

and Brick + Mortar restaurants as well as the Loews Santa Monica Beach, Shutters on the Beach and Casa del Mar hotels. Santa Monica Brew Works beers are also served at the Farmer’s Market at The Grove, three Plan Check Kitchen restaurants, three The Counter franchises and the Rock & Brews at LAX, in addition to Venice Beach boardwalk haunts such as the Candle Café & Grill. The idea of creating a Santa Monica brewery originated with Sharpley. While tending bar at Ye Olde King’s Head in Santa Monica, he recalls drinkers rou-
Super says he jumped at the chance to enter the brewing business. “I just loved the idea of making a piece of history,” he says. Super’s lifelong friend Francis, a lawyer and a former executive of BMG Songs and Warner/Chappell Music, joined them in the mission and the three partners began building their brewery in 2012. Francis says it took two years and $2 million to obtain federal, state and local licenses and permits, raise funds from outside investors and find an appropriate location in Santa Monica.
“It was hard to find a place with the right zoning. There are very few places zoned for light manufacturing, small design,” Francis says. The company eventually leased 9,300 square feet in a portion of a former Los Angeles Times distribution facility. They gutted the space before outfitting it with a drain, elaborate plumbing system, grain mill, beer barrels, a super-sized refrigerator and other necessary equipment. The brewery is not open for public tours or tastings, but it is available for private parties and has even hosted an event for the Santa Monica Convention and Visitors Bureau. Border Grill food-pairing events have also featured Santa Monica Brew Works beers. Santa Monica Brew Works currently produces 10,000 kegs a year — in beer speak, about 5,000 barrels. Francis expects production to increase to 30,000 kegs by the end of the year. The company aims to install a bottling line in May so that it can sell to grocery stores as well as bars and restaurants that do not serve tap beer. “Our goal is to grow, but we don’t want to grow too fast,” says Francis. “We take care in producing our beer — that’s our primary concentration. Our secondary concentration is to make sure our accounts are happy.” March 12, 2015 THE ARGONAUT PAGE 15

F. Rile); 2) an early publicity brochure; and 3) a roller coaster connected the cliff-side Arcadia Hotel to Santa Monica in the late 1880s (photograph by E. G. Morrison).
Do-It-Yourself History KCET highlights local collectors whose personal obsessions opened new doors into California’s past By Matt Hormann Monomania. It’s a word meaning total obsession with one thing. For Venice’s Carol Wells, it’s political protest posters. She’s collected about 85,000 of them. For Santa Monica’s Ernest Marquez, it was uncovering forgotten family history — specifically the 1839 Rancho Boca del Santa Monica land grant to his greatgrandfathers Ysidro Reyes and Francisco Marquez, a span of 6,656 acres that are known today as Santa Monica Canyon and Pacific Palisades. Wells, Marquez and other such collectors — one amassed 800,000 images by L.A.-area black photographers, another discovered connections between sci-fi fandom and the LGBTQ rights movement, and a third assembled the definitive historical archive on the California citrus trade — are subjects of “Monomania L.A.,” a series of short documentaries premiering Tuesday on KCET’s “Artbound” series. Produced in partnership with USC Libraries’ L.A. as Subject historical research and storytelling collaborative, “Monomania L.A.” examines what happens when everyday collectors become historians, highlighting their personal stories as well. “They’re what some people would call
amateur historians, but they probably have a greater and deeper understanding of their particular subject than trained academics. They’ve made invaluable contributions to the historical record of Southern California,” says L.A. as Subject’s Nathan Masters, a producer of the series. While the word “monomania” might bring to mind kooks and eccentrics, the featured collectors aren’t like the indiscriminate packrats you might see on an episode of “Hoarders.” “In this context, monomania simply means an obsession with collecting materials related to one particular piece of Southern California history,” says Masters. “These collectors, since they’ve spent so many years — in many cases, decades — with the subject, are really able to drill down and understand things that even academic historians might not know.” As founder of the Center for the Study of Political Graphics in Culver City, Wells has gathered the largest collection of post-World War II protest posters in the United States. Her obsession began with a simple revelation. While working as a research assistant to art historian David Kunzle in Nicaragua in 1981, she saw a young boy transfixed by a poster advertising the Nicaraguan Women’s Association.
“That was my epiphany moment,” Wells says in the film. “The moment literally the light bulb went off.” By preserving materials meant to be discarded, Wells aims to “transform them into an important primary source record,” she says. For Marquez, 91, collecting grew out of a quest to find out more about his Mexican ancestors. “I went to the library and got history books about Santa Monica and Los Angeles and couldn’t find anything about our rancho in them,” he tells the filmmakers. “The historians completely ignored our family and our rancho for some reason. If there was some mention of it, there might have been a paragraph or two.” Marquez combed local libraries and even solicited the National Archives for the Rancho Boca de Santa Monica land commission records. He also began collecting photographs of the region, hoping to amass a visual record of his family’s holdings. Over time Marquez obtained more than 4,600 photos spanning the 1870s to the 1950s, most of them taken in the Santa Monica region. He’s since written several books based on those materials and recently sold his photo collection to the Huntington Library. Juan Devis, senior vice president of content development and production for
KCETLink, sees particular worth in what Marquez has done to highlight Mexican contributions to early California. “In Southern California and in the Southwest we forget the common Spanish, Mexican, Latino roots we have,” Devis says. “They go very, very deep, but that’s not necessarily part of our common parlance. So I think archives like Ernest’s are very valuable.” Masters also hopes “Monomania L.A.” will help broaden the definition of what it means to be a historian. “You don’t have to become a monomaniacal collector to understand history,” he says. “You can start a small collection of your own or you can discover the history in your local public library. We just want people to be generally aware that there’s a lot of history out there, and we want them to become familiar with it.” “There’s a lot of our collective history that still resides in normal people,” adds Devis. “The efforts of these monomaniacs are a way to codify that.” “Monomania L.A.” premieres in Southern California at 8 p.m. Tuesday on KCET and makes its national debut at 8 p.m. on March 23 on Link TV.

Charanga on the water Cuban jazz ensemble lends Fisherman’s Village a different rhythm By Michael Aushenker By way of Cuba, a Jewish Valley girl of Eastern-European heritage who was raised on radio pop and bluegrass became an ambassador of the island’s musical soul. And now flutist and saxophonist Fay Roberts is on a roll. The devotee of Cuban-born charanga music and her band Orquesta Charangoa has performed free outdoor concerts at Fisherman’s Village in Marina del Rey every three months for the past two years. They return Saturday, this time in-between a new Sunday-night residency at the retro-swank Culver Hotel in Culver City. Depending on the setting, Orquesta Charangoa counts either six or nine members, including James Zavaleta (lead vocals), Fermin Sifontes (piano, vocals), Alfred “El Nino” Ortiz (timbales, vocals), Rayen Fernandez (congas, vocals), Jonathan Pintoff (bass) and Harry Scorzo, Pablo Isaac Mendez and Tylana Regna (violins).
guero.” On her second trip, Roberts stayed at the bandleader’s house, studying with the 73-year-old virtuoso. “He gave me several music charts and told me to go back to L.A., start a band and keep his music alive,” Roberts says. She took her mentor seriously, returning to Los Angeles and forming Orquesta Charangoa in 1997. The band’s first album, 2005’s eponymous “Fay Roberts Y Su Orquesta Charangoa” featured a Latinized version of the Beatles gem “Blackbird” plus several Egues originals: “Por Eso Hay Cosas,” “E Ay Marisela” and Orquesta Charangoa, led by Fay Roberts (center), is “Son Yayabero.” Egues died in headed back to Marina del Rey 2006 at 83.

The drinkable side of Food Fare The annual Planned Parenthood fundraiser shows guys and girls love a good beer Photo by Michael Aushenker
The crew at Chaya Venice turned out strong for Food Fare By Kat Thomas As Benjamin Franklin once said, “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” And there was nothing happier than drinking local brew in support of women’s health last Thursday at Planned Parenthood Los Angeles’ 36th annual Food Fare fundraiser at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. Curated by the Santa Monicabased The Beer Chicks, the beer garden featured samplings from nearly a dozen California craft breweries alongside various gourmet noshes from some of the 100-plus Los Angeles restaurants that participated. Westside culinary scene-makers lending flavor to the event included Brooke Williamson and Nick Roberts of Playa Provisions and The Tripel, James’ Beach’s James Evans and Daniel Samakow, Nick Liberato of the newly revamped Venice Whaler, Café Röckenwagner’s Hans Röckenwagner, Joseph Miller of Bar Pinxto and Joe’s Restaurant, Food Fare began with a simple cooking demonstration from Julia Child in 1979. Over the past three decades it has grown to become one of the most celebrated culinary events in Los
Angeles, highly anticipated by food lovers as an opportunity to sample some of the best food and drink L.A. has to offer. This year’s diners had the opportunity to travel the hop world with samplings from breweries including Angel City Brewery, Craftsman Brewing Company, Fireman’s Brew, Golden Road Brewing, Ladyface Ale Companie, Modern Times Beer, Omission, Smog City Brewing Company, Strand Brewing Company, Wolf Creek Brewery and the Westside-born Venice Duck Brewery. The Beer Chicks — Christina Perozzi and Hallie Beaune — have been at the heart of the booming craft beer revolution. Widely regarded as the top female beer specialists in the country, their books “The Naked Pint” and “The Naked Brewer” are top sellers on Amazon and have schooled craft beer neophytes and beer lovers alike. The Beer Chicks met while working together at Father’s Office gastropub in Santa Monica and became fast friends over the bond they shared with their one true love: craft beer. After a long night of tending bar and answering the same ques-
tions over and over again, they decided to write a book that explained beer in an accessible, irreverent way. Venice Duck Brewery was concocted by two Venice Beach bartenders, John Binder and Christian Warren, who had a shared love of good beer. With years of experience at places such as Hal’s Bar & Grill and James’ Beach, in 2013 they set out to create a beer that really represented Venice. The name was inspired by the local legend of a guy who went to a party in the Venice canals and woke up the next day on the sidewalk covered with ducks, ostensibly keeping him warm through the night as he slept it off. This year’s Food Fare found “the Ducks” pouring their Dogtown Duck IPA and Stoner Duck Hemp Brew. Dogtown Duck, the contract brewery’s first concoction, is a West Coast IPA that comes labeled as a balanced blend of, “pine, citrus, the ‘70s, salty air and attitude.” Its malty backbone is the perfect amount of structure to support the plethora of hops that dominate the palate.

PAGE 30 THE ARGONAUT March 12, 2015
By Michael Aushenker He memorably broke into the movie business as stoner Jeff Spicoli in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” won Academy Awards for “Mystic River” and “Milk,” and directed several films (“Into the Wild,” “The Pledge”). And about the only thing Sean Penn did not talk about on March 4 as the latest A-lister to take the stage for the ongoing Hollywood Masters conversation series at Loyola Marymount University’s School of Film and Television was that controversial offhand remark at the Oscars. Much online hay was made of Penn’s “green card” quip at the Academy Awards, when before a viewership of hundreds of millions worldwide the actor teased good friend and “21 Grams” director Alejandro González Iñárritu on the filmmaker’s way up the aisle to collect his Best Picture Oscar for “Birdman.” But at the top of Penn’s elliptical yet articulate conversation with the Hollywood Reporter’s Stephen Galloway at LMU’s Mayer Theater, he indirectly reminded everyone of an extensive record of progressive activism that makes a politically incorrect joke seem inconsequential. In January 2010, freshly divorced from actress Robin Wright after nearly 20 years of marriage, Penn suddenly found himself enjoying some alone time, able to “turn on the television at four o’ clock in the afternoon with no one to whine
about it,” he said. On CNN he saw reports on the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti. “It was as if a bomb had just hit. Loved ones — in many cases multiple loved ones — vanished,” recalled Penn, whose teen son had at the time recently suffered a brain injury (“He’s fine now,” Penn said). Dissatisfied with humanitarian response to the disaster, he reached out through first ex-wife Madonna to U.N. Special Envoy to Haiti Paul Farmer to learn how he could help. “Sometimes I slum it as a journalist” is how Penn explained his direct line to late Venezuela President Hugo Chavez, who agreed to dispatch 350 vials of
Galloway interrupted Penn to recall a journalistic visit to that Haitian camp, where an armed Penn negotiated with underworld figures trying to exploit the situation as tents brimmed with cholera victims. When Galloway asked if Penn got his gumption from his late father, filmmaker Leo Penn (who was famously blacklisted during the McCarthy era), Penn recounted how Leo, a first-generation Russian-Jewish immigrant, fought 37 tours of duty for the U.S. military by choice, survived being shot down twice, “and you’re told you can’t work in the country.” Penn said such treatment would’ve made him bitter, but his father never was. Penn, who appears in “The Gunman” (out March 20), likes the occasional superhero movie but said he’s generally depressed by today’s CGI overkill. He said he’s become choosy about acting roles and is more inclined to direct so he can tell stories meaningful to him. “Most movies I watch for 10 minutes, unless they’re really good or really bad,” Penn said, laughing. Galloway asked Penn to name his favorite filmmaker. Penn, without hesitation, called Iñárritu “extraordinary,” adding since “‘Amores Perros,’ I think he’s arguably the greatest director living.” Other revelations: As a Santa Monica High School student, Penn read books by F. Lee Bailey that inspired him to want
“Most movies I watch for 10 minutes, unless they’re really good or really bad.” — Sean Penn
morphine to Farmer to distribute as doctors were deployed. “And so we flew in. I had never been there before. It was quite an alarming arrival. In that warm climate, you’re landing to the smell of death,” he said. Entering post-disaster chaos, “it’s exactly like filmmaking. With higher stakes.” The quake initially displaced 1.6 million people (65,000 remain without permanent housing), but the 60,000 at the camp Penn set up have since found a home, he said.
to practice law. However, he caught the acting bug after Anthony Zerbe (“The Omega Man”) visited SaMo High, and Penn began shooting amateur films in Westwood with his buddies, brothers Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez. And not only does Penn avoid Twitter, “I’ve never gotten into a laptop computer in my life,” he said. To many, that might be more shocking than his “green card” crack. michael@argonautnews.com

Homecoming for ‘The Wrecking Crew’ LMU grad Denny Tedesco tells the story of L.A. session musicians who anonymously made music history — including his late father By Michael Aushenker If you’re of Generation X or older, the opening music from “The Twilight Zone,” “Green Acres,” “Bonanza,” “Batman” and “M.A.S.H.” has been permanently ingrained into your brain’s limbic system. But who were the musicians who played on those classic theme songs? One of them was the late guitarist Tommy Tedesco, part of a crack group of jazz-trained musicians who (almost anonymously) played on these TV themes as well as on seminal albums by Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Sam Cooke, The Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, The Byrds, The Mamas and the Papas, The Monkees, Harry Nilsson and myriad other pop acts from the 1950s through the 1970s. They’ve been retroactively dubbed “The Wrecking Crew” — also the title of a documentary opening on Friday in theaters nationwide, including The Nuart. Filmmaker Denny Tedesco, Tommy’s oldest son, has worked on “Wrecking Crew” since the mid-1990s, and the film premiered at South by Southwest in 2008. “I saw this film play around the world: Israel, Barcelona, England. People know the music, they don’t know the story,” Tedesco said of his movie, which had been screened intermittently before Magnolia Pictures picked it up for distribution. Whether it was “California Dreamin’” or “California Girls,” the Wrecking Crew had a significant role in aggrandizing the West Coast Sound. “The record companies didn’t want people to know they were on the album. It wasn’t a conspiracy even though some of [the musicians] thought it was,” Tedesco said. Of course, when these hired guns — musical snipers with a pinpoint precision mastery of their instruments — assisted the Mamas and the Papas or the Beach Boys, their mindset was merely to give it their all for an album track. “They’re not recording hits; they’re recording songs. They don’t become hits for a year. They don’t know until later,” Tedesco explained. Both Denny and brother Damon Tedesco, a recording engineer, attended Loyola Marymount
Session musician Tommy Tedesco in 1996 University. Denny was a film major in 1983. Damon, who graduated in 1991, recorded their father and his musician friends while they recorded music for an album at the Westchester campus, and some footage from that session is in the film. “Dad had a stroke. We kind of shelved that [album],” Denny Tedesco said. However, the take-away, he notes, was that
Tedesco, center, and Carol Kaye
With wife Susie, Tedesco assumed more than $500,000 in production costs. After the labels and publishers got their share for rights to use songs in his documentary, Tedesco abided by union rules to pay the musicians, too. He used Kickstarter to raise the money toward remunerating the musicians or their surviving family members, and that for him was a personal highlight.
“I saw this film play around the world: Israel, Barcelona, England. People know the music; they don’t know the story.” — Denny Tedesco, director of “The Wrecking Crew”
“my father was 62 and he still had all these chops. He was better than he ever was, but he couldn’t do anything with it.” In 1996, years of smoking had caught up with Tommy Tedesco, who had cancer and only a year left to live. Tedesco used this crossroads in his father’s life as an impetus to make his documentary, a process that spanned 18 years and included the efforts of directors of photography Rodney Taylor and Trish Govoni. The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson, The Monkees’ Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork, Cher, Dick Clark, Herb Alpert, Lou Adler and Nancy Sinatra are among the celebrity talking heads in Tedesco’s film. Some 76 musicians, producers and engineers were interviewed on just about every format: 8 and 16mm film, Beta and ¾-inch tape.
PAGE 32 THE ARGONAUT March 12, 2015
The figures vary on the number of members comprising the Wrecking Crew. However, central figures included Tedesco and fellow guitarists Al Casey and a pre-fame Glen Campbell (himself the subject of last year’s Academy Award-nominated documentary “I’ll Be Me”), keyboardists Leon Russell and Don Randi, sax player Plas Johnson, drummers Hal Blaine and Earl Palmer, and bassist Carol Kaye. Also in dispute: the slug “Wrecking Crew.” Members such as Kaye remember being shorthanded as “the Clique.” What is not in dispute is the immense talent pool these people formed. Being part of that clique, Campbell said he felt like he was playing with Michael Jordan. But “everyone in the room was Michael Jordan,”
Michelle Phillips (above) and Brian Wilson with Bill Pitman
Tedesco said. Demanding producers such as Phil Spector expected a certain level of musicianship to form his signature “wall of sound.” “You’re doing it from the beginning. If you blow it, you’re blowing it for the group. If you couldn’t keep up, you keep blowing it,” Tedesco said. He added that Kaye, the Crew’s lone female member, was treated like one of the boys. “If anything, they didn’t treat her like a woman at all. When she’s playing bass, she’s there for being a bass player. In a man’s world, she kept up.” Tedesco started his career as a set decorator on feature films such as “Eating Raoul” (starring Mary Woronov) and made his movie in spasms of productivity over the years while doing his day work making commercials. He produced the Academy Awards opening with Billy Crystal in 2000 and also worked on the 2001 music video for Elton John’s, “I Want Love,” which starred Robert Downey Jr. Tedesco went into “overdrive” working on the film in the two years before it opened in Austin and then not much else happened as Tedesco tried to drum up interest in his pet project. Now that his film opens in 75 theaters nationwide, “It’s like a sweet vindication,” he said, “because I’ve preached this for so long.” After its week-long run in theaters, “Wrecking Crew” heads to DVD on June 16th, followed by Netflix. And like Stacy Peralta, who went on to script a feature film
version of his acclaimed skateboarding documentary “Dogtown & Z-Boys,” Tedesco is shopping around a narrative version of “Wrecking Crew,” which he sees as a television series. “It’s not just about music; it’s about making a living,” he said. As much as he has expanded his movie to include the Wrecking Crew at large, Tedesco’s movie, at its heart, is a not-so-overt tribute to his father, whom he misses greatly. At age 5, Tedesco watched composer Vic Mizzy conducting his father for his “Green Acres” theme. When Tedesco was older, he’d spend a day off from school accompanying his father on scoring sessions for “CHiPs” and “The Six Million Dollar Man.” Younger brother Damon was in the room while dad worked on the score for the 1990 Francis Ford Coppola feature, “The Godfather Part III.” If Tedesco has learned anything about his father while making “The Wrecking Crew,” it’s this: “He was a giver. He did this for us. He was raising our family. He’s known to help others. Those stories were worth everything.” Several screenings of “The Wrecking Crew” happen this weekend at The Nuart, 11272 Santa Monica Blvd., West L.A. Tickets are $11, or $9 for seniors and children. Call (310) 281-8223 or visit wreckingcrewfilm.com. Denny Tedesco will sit for Q+A sessions at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. Friday, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, and 2:30 and 5 p.m. Sunday. michael@argonautnews.com
