Twenty-First Century Vision for LMU

BY GARY WALKER Running a well-known university can be an enormous challenge. Compound that with becoming the first lay president of an established Jesuit university in the nation’s second largest city, overseeing a multi-billion-dollar campus renovation and improving upon the university’s long history on academic success and social justice, and the challenges can become daunting. Loyola Marymount University President David Burcham made history in 2011 when he became the Jesuit institution’s first non-Jesuit to lead the Westchester school, succeeding Father Robert Lawton. He also shepherded the university through the yearlong events of its centennial last year and is now in the process of shaping LMU as a school that can meet the academic challenges of the 21st century. In a recent interview with The Argonaut, Burcham, a former dean of LMU’s law school and senior vice president, talked about the difference of going from a law school dean to president of the university, how he is handling the concerns of LMU’s residential neighbors regarding student behaviors, and gave an update on the university’s signature initiative of recent years, its ambitious master plan. Burcham said the university’s 20-year campus renovation, which he calls the school’s “blueprint for the future,” is moving steadily along. “The new life science building, with 372 underground parking spaces, is slated to be built next. This structure will feature laboratories for biochemistry, chemistry, biology as well as faculty offices and research facilities,” Burcham said. “We really think that this will allow us to raise the bar in terms of our faculty research as well as undergraduate research, and we think we have a real niche here in Southern California.” LMU officials have long thought that having the infrastructure in place for students and professors will allow the university to be able to compete on a global scale for faculty and undergraduates. “We pride ourselves in our undergrad program with having very small class sizes, with very low faculty to student ratios, and that carries over into some areas that are traditionally reserved for graduate students,” the university president explained. “By that I mean the sciences, in biology and chemistry, where the research assistants for students at many places is reserved for students in the graduate pro(Continued on page 10)

Annenberg will not make council presentation on wetlands center this month By Gary Walker Representatives of the Annenberg Foundation will not be making a presentation of their proposed interpretive nature center before the Del Rey Neighborhood Council as they had planned to last month. The decision not to offer the presentation to the full board on Thursday, April 11 comes a month after the foundation’s representatives showed the local council’s Land Use and Planning Committee their plans for their $50 million interpretive center, which would be located in what is known locally as Area C of the Ballona Wetlands. Those plans include a 46,000-square foot site

that would be equipped with an auditorium, classrooms, a public lobby, exhibits on wildlife and domestic animals, facilities for an animal adoption and care program and veterinary facilities for animals. The proposed building would be adjacent to the Culver-Marina Little League fields on Culver Boulevard between Playa del Rey and Del Rey. Liza de Villa Ameen, a former spokeswoman with the Annenberg Foundation, said the foundation might lend a hand in improving the nearby baseball fields, which are in need of repair. “All of Area C has been neglected and can be enhanced and improved,” she said. “At this time, (Continued on page 11)

make this obvious abuse of the Ballona Wetlands reserve, a public resource, seem palatable to an unsuspecting public. In my opinion, a domestic animal shelter is a noble cause, but it does not belong in the Ballona Ecological Reserve. Aube states that the proposed site location “Area C South is not considered wetland habitat.” This is very misleading to your readers as to the importance of this area. I have also heard project supporters describe Area C as nothing more than a vacant lot covered by weeds. The truth is that Area C is crucial upland habitat that is vital to the health of the overall ecosystem and supports many species of birds, plants and other wildlife. Aube also seems to be trying to downplay the size and scope of this project. A 46,000 square foot building is huge! This manipulation of the truth regarding many “facts” concerning this project is the very definition of “green-washing” and I would think it beneath the Annenberg’s reputation. Ballona is a unique and critical ecosystem and deserves far better than this destructive development arrangement. After so many have worked so hard, for so long to preserve this land from development, I never would have imagined that it would be the Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Annenberg Foundation trying to put buildings here.

Slamming beach bonfire ban

Re: “Dockweiler Beach bonfires could be extinguished under countywide ban” (Argonaut, April 4). I was appalled to read about the South Coast Air Quality Management District staff proposal to ban bonfires at Los Angeles County beaches including Dockweiler Beach in Playa del Rey. Really? Is the bonfire smoke that concentrated? Is there a bonfire cancer epidemic happening now? Dockweiler is a “state” beach, and that means people pay for the privilege of bonfires. Residential area? Dockweiler is not like Manhattan Beach, (the Strand) where the houses would actually be directly affected by smoke. This proposal is ridiculous, and I have a message for AQMD: If you guys were really serious about air pollution, you would spend more time and energy with the excess of vehicles on our streets or the El Segundo refinery.

Whole Foods donates $9,200 to Boys & Girls Club of Venice The Boys & Girls Club of Venice has received a donation of $9,200 from Whole Foods Venice to support the club’s career development program. The donation was raised from a “5% Day” held by Whole Foods in which five percent of the store’s April 3 sales went to support Boys & Girls Club of Venice programs. According to club Executive Director Erikk Aldridge, Whole Foods Venice has been a partner with the club since the store opened in September 2008 by supporting the club’s annual gala,

open house and volunteer programs such as Junior Staff, SelfEsteem Weekend for girls, and several other volunteer-based activities and programs. “We are very proud of our relationship with Whole Foods Venice,” said Aldridge. “They have been helpful and supportive of any activity that benefits the children and families that we serve. It is also great to see former club members and parents employed at Whole Foods.” As a follow up to the “5% Day” and in an effort to reach its

goal of $10,000 to support the club’s Junior Staff career development program for teens, the club is offering community members who shop at Whole Foods Venice the opportunity to make donations in honor of the “5% Day” campaign. All participating donors will receive an invitation to the club’s donor appreciation party on Thursday, June 20, at Deus Ex Machina, 1001 Venice Blvd, Venice. Whole Foods Venice and other donors will be recognized for their contributions at the event.

Car-free school winners for March announced

Four Santa Monica schools participated in a “Care Free Contest” last month, with students at John Adams Middle School tallying the most miles through alternative transportation. John Adams and Lincoln middle schools and Will Rogers and Roosevelt Elementary schools took part in the citysponsored contest, a friendly competition geared toward making walking and biking to school a habit.

Students tracked trips made to school without using an automobile, and these “car-free” miles on bikes or on foot counted towards monthly incentives. Students at John Adams earned the most car-free miles logging 352. Next were Roosevelt students, who recorded 267, with one second-grader walking 32 miles. A Will Rogers first-grade student biked a total of 19 miles - the longest biking distance of any student among all of the participating schools. And an eighth-grader at Lincoln was recognized for having the highest level of participation. “The goal of this contest is to create a fun environment that encourages families to incorporate bicycling and walking into their daily transportation choice” said David Martin, director of Santa Monica’s planning and community development department. The goal of the project is to help school-aged children become comfortable bicycling and walking to school.

Charter files suit against LAUSD to get access to local school campuses Venice and Westchester. Prop. 39, a 2000 voter approved ballot measure, provides charter operators with the opportunity to have space on traditional school campuses where classrooms are considered underutilized or vacant. School districts tender offers to charters at schools where these classrooms exist and charters then determine whether they will accept or refuse them. “(Westchester Secondary Charter School) wishes to locate in the Westchester community of Los Angeles, where its targeted students live or have historically attended school. There is more than sufficient space for (Westchester Secondary School’s) 300 students at (the school’s) four comparison schools located in or near Westchester, based upon the operational capacity of those schools and the district’s projected enrollment on those campuses during the 2013-14 school year and taking into account the district’s policy of 75 seats serving at secondary schools for additional unanticipated enrollment,” the brief states. Wexler, a special education

attorney, said she and Landon filed the legal action as a last resort. “We resorted to a lawsuit only after the district indicated it would not change our offer without a court order,” she said. Wexler, whose daughter graduated from the former Westchester High School two years ago, said one of the main reasons that she and Landon founded the local charter was to have the school in their community. “Most of the schools Westchester families choose to attend are significantly closer than Hart. Regardless, (Westchester Secondary Charter School) was founded to address the problems associated with families traveling away from their community to find appropriate educational programs for their children, not add to them,” she explained. “Attending schools far from home is a hardship for families, and some families aren’t able to secure transportation. “We are called ‘Westchester’ because we recognize the importance that local connections, including parent and local business

By Gary Walker A charter school created by a Westchester parent and a former Orville Wright Middle School teacher has filed a legal action against the Los Angeles Unified School District over not receiving offers at local schools in order to share space at their campuses. Westchester Secondary Charter School, a proposed 6-8 secondary school that would like to eventually expand to a middle and high school, filed a lawsuit April 2. The plaintiffs contend in court papers that under Proposition 39, school districts are required to “make reasonable efforts to provide the charter school with facilities near where the charter school wishes to locate.” The school’s founders, Ann Wexler and Janet Landon, were denied a charter by LAUSD last year but were later approved by the county Office of Education. LAUSD offered them 14 classrooms at Bret Hart Middle School in downtown Los Angeles on April 2. Six other charter schools were offered classrooms at schools in District 4, which includes Mar Vista, Del Rey,

involvement, can provide to a neighborhood school, Wexler added. “Currently our board is primarily made up of Westchester civic leaders and local educators, and we have seats reserved for parents as well. We have been engaging the local community for three years to establish this school (and) locating outside of the area would require building new relationships and perhaps even a different charter design. “In addition, a Westchester location allows us to attain our goal of ensuring a diverse student body, targeting not only Westchester, but those communities that have traditionally attended Westchester schools, including Playa del Rey, View Park-Windsor Hills, Ladera Heights, and Playa Vista.” They are receiving moral support from the state organization that represents charter schools. “The California Charter School Association is supporting Westchester (Secondary Charter School) in its effort to obtain an adequate school facility, as it is entitled to by state law,” said Sierra Jenkins, a spokeswoman for the association. “As the statewide association, we track all lawsuits and legislation affecting charter schools and provide a variety of support to our member schools, including legal support in some cases.” Lawsuits by charters and the state association have become commonplace since the passage of Prop. 39. Charter schools received an important victory on June 27 when a Los Angeles Superior Court found that the district had not acted in accordance with the guidelines of an education related ballot initiative that became law 12 years ago. The original legal action

against LAUSD was filed May 17, 2007 for what the charter association believed was a lack of compliance with Prop. 39. A court settlement was reached April 22 of the following year but the association filed to have the terms of the settlement enforced May 24, 2010. In that case, Superior Court Judge Terry Green wrote, “LAUSD’s use of ‘norming ratios’ to determine whether the number of classrooms to provide charter schools in LAUSD’s Prop. 39 facilities violated Section 11969.3(b) (1) of the Prop. 39 Implementing Regulations and LAUSD thus failed to provide facilities to charter schools ‘in the same ratio of teaching stations as those provided to students in the school district attending comparison groups.’” Five months later, an appellate court ruling Dec. 6 struck down the June 27 decision and gave LAUSD a victory in what has become a contentious topic of discussion among parents, LAUSD administrators and parents since charter operators began petitioning for classroom space under Proposition 39. The ruling states that charters will be awarded the same number of spaces per room that LAUSD uses. As an example, if 30 pupils are placed in an LAUSD school classroom, charter schools will be allotted rooms at a traditional school that will be calculated by the same ratio. Lydia Ponce, a parent community representative at Venice High School, thinks the Westchester Secondary School lawsuit is the inevitable consequence of Prop. 39 as well as the Public Schools Choice Resolution, a 2009 initiative approved by LAUSD that permits charter (Continued on page 8)

By Gary Walker A group of Mar Vista residents, weary of being bombarded with campaign mailers during elections, is seeking relief from materials sent by the truckload to their homes during election seasons.

er that just like our bills, we have the option of going paperless,” Akers explained. “I read the blogs and emails and social media output for each of (the candidates) and they don’t need to mail me paper. But it should be provided for those who prefer it. “And frankly, we should have the option of selecting the mail from the candidates without having to also take it from unions, organizations and super pacs.” Melissa Stoller, a co-chair of the Green Committee, thinks candidates for office should reconsider whom they target with campaign mail. “Wouldn’t their money be better spent reaching voters who aren’t irritated by the deluge and are perhaps more likely to be persuaded by the dubious ‘information’ provided?” she asked. “This last campaign - like all the others before it - the mail went straight into my recycle bin. For the next campaign, I

think I’ll keep track of how much is sent on behalf of each candidate and ballot measure; this time the campaign mail might, for the first time, influence my vote.” Akers compared the request to one that has become quite popular with the public pertaining to telemarketing calls. “Just like we can ask to be put on the do-not-call list, we need to be able to request being put on a do-not-mail list. Most of this goes straight to recycling, hopefully not to trash,” she said. “Look at how wonderfully (Councilman) Bill Rosendahl’s office communicates with us on issues via his blog, email newsletters and social media. Why should campaigns be different?” A motion proposing that campaigns that receive matching funds from the city be required to print their mailed advertisements in a sustainable manner was also tabled until May. §

While it is true there are new charters in development, several charter schools are vacating Westchester campuses next year,” she said. “We believe it is a good thing that there are more public middle and high school options available for parents.” LAUSD officials did not return calls for comment. §

LMU PRESIDENT DAVID BURCHAM greets Archbishop José Gomez at the presidential inauguration in 2011.

— LMU President David Burcham “Dave Burcham has already proven himself.” Recently, the university’s School of Education jumped 57 places in the U.S. News & World Report’s latest edition of “Best Graduate Schools” rankings. LMU is situated near a residential neighborhood where many of its students and faculty live. At times, the relationship between the university and certain nearby homeowners has been contentious, due to

the number of parties thrown by students at homes that they rent and the longstanding complaint of some homeowners that students use their streets to park and walk to campus, taking away spaces for friends, relatives and service workers. Those concerns were exacerbated since the university announced that it would be charging for parking on campus. LMU officials have announced that they will be offering residents the option of creating preferential parking districts and the university would pay for the residents who agreed to the plan’s parking permits. At a community meeting earlier this year, the vast majority of the affected homeowners soundly rejected the proposal. “I really empathize with the neighbors and we want to be good neighbors,” Burcham said. “We’re trying our best to mitigate any kind of effect that charging for parking will have on the neighborhoods.

“I didn’t realize that I would be spending time on parking issues when I became president,” Burcham acknowledged with a smile. “But I understand why I am and we will move forward and do our best to be a really good neighbor.” Burcham said he enjoys what he calls “participating in the formal transmission of knowledge and values to the next generation.” “I get to be involved in that as president in a very fundamental way and I can’t think of anything else that I’d rather be doing.” Los Angeles Councilman Bill Rosendahl, who represents Westchester, met Burcham months before he officially became president. The councilman was impressed that day and remains a fan of Burcham’s. “It was a historic moment when he was named president,” Rosendahl recalled. “From an ecumenical standpoint, it was a

LMU’s capital fundraising campaign for the master plan reached $382 million in October, exceeding its goal seven months early, university officials announced. “I pledge to continue working with our neighbors to figure out ways that make sure that any kind of disruption is minimized.” Burcham noted that he lives near the California State University-Long Beach campus, not far from a residential neighborhood. “So I understand the issue,” he said. The negotiations with the homeowners is illustrative of how outside forces can influence the approach that Burcham takes when attempting to navigate potential trouble spots between the community and his students, a task that other university presidents typically are not forced to consider on a daily basis.

bold one and a good one. “He is well-liked and appreciated by the faculty and the community.” Despite having held high-profile positions at the university, Burcham says being president is unlike any of his former posts. “It’s very different. In a way, it’s like being a parent of a minor child,” the president said. “I don’t mean that the university is acting like a juvenile; what I mean is that you’re on the job 24/7, 12 months a year. And it’s always on your mind. It never leaves you. “That being said, I have a dream job,” Burcham concluded. “I’m into my third year now and I think it’s a dream job.” §

Foundation decides not to make public presentation for second time Photo by Gary Walker

(Continued from cover) we are still considering enhancements and improvements to the ball fields.” Several opponents of the project attended the planning committee meeting and were outraged when Annenberg Foundation Executive Director Leonard Aube, who made the presentation, refused to provide copies of the plans. Annenberg was originally slated to present at last month’s council meeting. “Annenberg asked to present again at our April meeting rather than (the March meeting) so they could have time to incorporate all the community feedback into their presentation,” explained Del Rey Neighborhood Council President Eric DeSobe. The planning and land use committee submitted a motion to the council to consider the proposed center following its March 6 meeting. “On March 11, the Annenberg Foundation requested that their presentation of the conceptual interpretive center be placed on the agenda of the (neighborhood) council at a later date in order to better review the public comments that were heard on March 6 so that each recommendation is given thoughtful consideration,” Elizabeth Zamora, the planning and land use chair, told The Argonaut. “The foundation stated they would like to make a full presentation of the project to the Del Rey community after the draft environmental report is released this summer so that the community has the details of the (draft environmental impact report) to inform the project presentation. The foundation stated they appreciate the expression of views from all individuals and it looks forward to having more opportunities for the Del Rey community’s involvement in the decision making process.” Critics of the nature center have seized on the animal care and veterinary facilities, claiming that the wetlands are not the appropriate site for such a facility. They also argue that the foundation sought to construct a similar project in Rancho Palos Verdes two years ago that

ultimately was not built after months of community protests. That facility would have been 51,000 square feet and its features would have included an exhibit and classroom space and adoption suites for 10 dogs and eight cats. Plans also included native habitat, improved trails, a demonstration Tongva village and an archaeological dig. Federal and state officials also raised concerns about the proposed park, which was largely marketed as a companion animal center, and the project’s deed restrictions. The foundation sought to build the park and animal center at Lower Pointe Vicente, a former military installation. “Such a cynical idea to have a ‘nature center about the wetlands’ right on the wetlands. Wetlands, by definition, is a wild place habitat for birds, flora and fauna,” wrote Susan Craig, who opposes the foundation’s Ballona Wetlands project. “It’s like cutting down trees to have a tree park, but in this case, it’s destroying wetlands to build a wetlands park. “It’s nuts.” A memorandum of understanding signed by the foundation states that the project will encompass approximately 15-20 acres of land and will provide funding for a “uniform and design related to the restoration project.” Annenberg’s proposal has been folded into the state’s notice of preparation, which marks the beginning of a longawaited state-sponsored restoration plan to rehabilitate the Ballona Wetlands. The state Coastal Commission, along with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the United States Army Corps of Engineers will be in charge of the restoration effort. “We hope this center will become a place where community members can come to learn how nature works, and how each of them is a part of it,” said Fish and Wildlife Director Charlton H. Bonham. “This effort is the kind of legacy project we need, with education programs to help instill a sense of stewardship in these urban communities that might otherwise not be fulfilled.” The foundation did not return calls for comment. §

Fifth solo exhibit for Christopher Murphy Venice Beach Surf & Skate Fest to feature swap to be held at Schlesinger Gallery The Lora Schlesinger Gallery meet with vintage gear in Santa Monica will present artPhoto by Venice Paparazzi

ist Christopher Murphy’s fifth solo exhibition with the gallery, Sturm and Drang, beginning Saturday, April 20 through June 1. An opening reception is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. April 20 at the gallery at Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Ave. T3, Santa Monica. The exhibit features new drawings by the artist. Using photos from his own travels in addition to found ones (from family albums and antique stores) as the basis for his work, Murphy aimed to create new realities by dramatically restaging the action, recontextualizing figures, or inventing scenarios, a gallery spokesperson said. The satiny grays of the graphite nod to the often black and white photographic origins of the pieces, the spokesperson noted. Through his drawings, Murphy searches for the aesthetic beauty in the power of a violent conflagration, or depicting the placidity in the aftermath of a flood, or using composition to portray an explosive moment as both furious and tranquil, the gallery spokesperson said. By rendering figures as diminutive in an expansive landscape, from behind, or completely absent, Murphy aims to either invite the viewer into the environment directly or provide a mediating perspective through which to experience these places

Celebrating the community’s surf and skateboard roots, the Second Annual Venice Beach Surf & Skate Fest will take place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, April 13 at the Venice Farmers Market lot on Venice Boulevard at Dell Avenue. On display will be products from local shops such as Maui & Sons, VB Surf & Animal House, and visitors will have the chance to purchase vintage gear from the swap meet. Visitors can sample a selection of beers from Stone Brewing and fresh squeezed juices from Whole Foods, as well as cuisine from Farmhouse Kitchen and Poke & Poke. The fest will feature music by Street Smart, Venice Street Legends & Flyin’ Lion.

Also featured will be a charity raffle for prizes which benefits Sea Shepherd, a nonprofit marine conservation organization. “A buzz is going on from surfers and skaters all over Southern California,” said event founder and producer, Brady Walker. “We have confirmed collectors from San Diego to Pismo (Beach) who are excited to share their toys with local Venecians. With a full line of beers from Stone Brewing, paired with amazing food from local shops Farmhouse Kitchen and Poke Poke, there will be no excuse to leave the event all day.” The festival was made possible through a grant from the Venice Neighborhood Council.

Orchestra Santa Monica to perform last concert of season at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church Orchestra Santa Monica will present its third and final concert of the season at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 13 at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church, 1343 Ocean Park Blvd. in Santa Monica. Music Director Allen Robert Gross will lead Santa Monica’s newest full-scale orchestra and piano soloist Robert Edward Thies in works by Johannes Brahms, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Bedrich Smetana. Entitled “Sublime Spring,” the concert will showcase the transformative qualities of the season with Brahms’ Third Symphony, a work which has both

sunny and stormy aspects, an orchestra spokesperson said. “Brahms’ symphonies are always a great challenge and treat to perform because they are so rich in their emotional scope,” Gross said. “This one is particularly special. It is unusual in that it ends softly, but peacefully, almost like Beethoven’s ‘Pastoral Symphony.’ It reconciles tensions presented at the beginning of the work in an almost otherworldly way – it’s really magical.” A special feature of the concert will be an informal question and answer session with Gross

PAGE 12 THE ARGONAUT April 11, 2013

during the intermission, in which the audience is invited to participate in a discussion about the symphony, which opens the concert. Also on the program are Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23, and Smetana’s Three Dances from his opera The Bartered Bride. The three dances presented at the concert are full of Czech folk melodies and rhythms. Thies is an artist renowned for his consummate musicianship and poetic temperament, according to the orchestra. He first captured worldwide attention in

1995 when he won the Gold Medal at the Second International Prokofiev Competition in St. Petersburg, Russia. With this victory, Thies became the only American pianist to win first prize in a Russian piano competition since the late Van Cliburn’s famed triumph in Moscow in 1958. Thies works as an orchestral soloist, recitalist and chamber musician. He has performed 40 concerti with orchestras all over the world. Information, (310) 525-7618, or www.orchestrasantamonica. org.

Worldwide-Award-Winning Wines from Argentina Danny’s pays tribute to Venice history with a variety of interior features like cartoons, paintings, caricatures, photos of Venice in the 1920s and 30s, and a 15-foot-long antique gondola hanging from its ceiling.

By Richard Foss

Richard@RichardFoss.com

Danny’s

23 Windward Ave. Venice. 310-566-5610. Some people have visited Danny’s multiple times and never noticed the full-size antique Venetian gondola hanging upside-down from the ceiling. It’s not just that they don’t happen to gaze at ceilings much for fear of tripping over something, but because the fascinating visual chaos of this place makes it hard to process everything you’re seeing. The walls are filled with cartoons, paintings, caricatures, and historic pictures of Venice in the 1920s and 30s. TVs flicker in several corners, and when we visited, a band played energetic jazz and torch songs onstage. It would be easy to miss a little thing like a 15-foot-long ornate boat hanging from the ceiling. If this restaurant located on a colonnaded arcade on Windward Avenue in Venice decided to become a museum of local history, they’d already have a good start on their exhibits. I’m hoping they remain a restaurant, because becoming a museum might involve closing the bar and ceasing food service, and based on a recent visit they do those things remarkably well for a modestly priced place. Danny’s may have started as a deli and still retains a few traditional items like matzah ball soup on the menu, but the focus now is more on burgers, bar food, and eclectica. When we visited, a helpful server named Danny – not the owner, he hastened to inform us – showed us

to a table, took drink orders, and cheerfully volunteered his opinion of which items were best. We started with a “Boardwalk Salad,” greens with strawberries, tomato, feta cheese, blackberries, and watermelon with a citrus vinaigrette. Combined fruit and vegetable salads have become popular lately because they’re delightful, with sweetness and tartness hitting just right, and this one was bountiful and nicely composed. We also tried the split pea soup, a classic deli item that was served with bagel chips. There is actually a lot of latitude for creativity in pea soup, some of which includes bacon, onion, barley, and other items, but this one was straightforward. It was a thick vegetarian version with a little chopped carrot and subtle seasoning – classic comfort food. We paired this with lemonade, a chocolate shake, and a Goose Island Honkers ale from their very good beer list – the items by tap and bottle are well-chosen here, and even a serious beer snob will find something to like. The Honkers was good, but the Leffe Belgian ale that I tried next was even better, richly spicy and a great food beer. I had hoped to continue with their Cajun buttermilk fried chicken, but some combination of technical difficulties made that impossible. My companions ordered their meals, a salmon burger and pulled pork sandwich, while I scanned the menu for a backup choice, and on a whim I decided on a flatiron steak. The salmon burger was tasty, a healthy slab of nicely cooked fish with the right amount of fixings to enhance but not overwhelm the spicing on the fish, and we appreciated the good kosher

pickle and freshly made house potato chips that came with it. We all liked the pulled pork even better – one of my companions lived in the South for many years and knows her pulled pork, and she proclaimed this particularly good for something made by “Yankees.” The sauce had the proper sweet and sour balance that comes from a generous shot of vinegar, with just a little spiciness on the finish. A pulled pork sandwich is always served with cole slaw, and this one was creamy and just a little sweet. She had chosen fries as a side, and they arrived fresh, crisp, and lightly salted, just as we like them. My meal was unbalanced – the steak was surprisingly tender and tasty and served in a very good Cabernet sauce, but accompanied only by a gigantic mound of mashed potatoes. At $22 it was the most expensive thing on the menu – they might have cut back on the spuds and served a side of vegetables to make a better balanced and more attractive plate. It was an odd lapse in judgment from a kitchen that had otherwise been sensitive. Dinner for three with beverages was $82 – not bad at all for the quality and quantity just steps from the beach. Danny’s offers a surprisingly good casual dining option with quirky décor and good service – a welcome surprise anywhere you find it. Danny’s is at 23 Windward Ave. in Venice. Open 10 a.m. – midnight Su-Thu, 10 a.m. - 2 a.m. Fri/Sa. Street parking only, full bar, children OK. Website dannysvenice.com. 310-566-5610. §

Are prices for homes increasing this year? Once again, Southern California saw strong home price increases in February as the percentage of absentee buyers hit a six-year record high, and cash buyers remained a dominant force. The sixcounty Southland saw the median home price rise nearly 21% over the year, while remaining essentially flat compared with January, real estate information provider DataQuick said. A total of 15,945 new and resale homes and condos sold in February - the highest volume for a February in six years. Buyers in Southern California paid a median of $320,000 last month as fewer homes sold in lower-cost Riverside and San Bernardino counties that have become a haven for investors looking to flip or rent out houses. “Most every gauge shows prices are up significantly over the past

year, even after adjusting for changes in the types of homes selling,” DataQuick President John Walsh said in a statement. Still, last month’s median price was still well off the 2007 peak of $505,000, Walsh noted. The median sales price is the point at which half of homes sold for more and half sold for less; it is influenced by the types of homes selling as well as a general rise or fall in values. Home prices have been on the rise as inventory has tightened significantly and interest rates have remained low. Investors have scooped up many low-priced and bank-owned properties to rent or flip, and foreclosures have made up a declining share of homes sold. Foreclosed homes were 15.8% of the resale market last month, down from 32.6% a year earlier. Absentee buyers - chiefly investors

Culver City Estate with Ocean Views

“This is a rare example of a Dutch Colonial Revival home in Culver Crest, Culver City’s best neighborhood,” says agent Richard Kessel. “Expanded and remodeled by the current owners, this incredible fourbedroom, three-and-a-half bath home is nestled in the trees on a huge, wooded hillside lot with meandering pathways, terraced gardens, a fountain, and multiple patios. There are unobstructed views of the city, mountains and the ocean. Features include a family room, custom fixtures and cabinetry, and a gourmet kitchen. The incredible master suite is complemented by a custom bathroom.” The property is offered at $1,299,999. Information, Richard Kissel, Keller Williams Realty, (310) 739-6577.

Ocean and Channel Views

“This three-bedroom, two-bath condo has extraordinary Marina, ocean and channel views, and offers over 1,700 square-feet of living space, as well as a spacious balcony,” says agent Charles Lederman. “It is beautifully appointed with custom cabinets, flooring and wall treatments. Enjoy priceless views from this quiet location, along with the Marina City Club’s unparalleled amenities, such as an executive gym/ spa with free classes, three swimming pools, six tennis courts, three racquetball courts, two paddle tennis courts, a restaurant and bar with room service, a café, a convenience store, car wash, beauty salon, 24-hour guard gated security, and much more.” The property is offered at $610,000. Information, Charles Lederman, Marina City Realty, (310) 821-8980.

Peter Pitts 310.502.9200

along with some second-home buyers - accounted for 31.4% of home sales in February, the highest figure since DataQuick began tracking the figure in 2000. Buyers paying with cash purchased a near-record 35.6% of homes. Data from the previous two months shows investors playing a major role, Walsh said. But that may be influenced by some of the holiday house-hunting season, which tends to skew the buyer pool more toward investors. “This spring will offer a better view of how broader market trends are shaping up this year,” Walsh said. “One of the real wild cards will be how many more homes go up for sale. More people who’ve long been thinking of selling will be tempted to list their homes at today’s higher prices.” As prices rise, more homeowners will escape their negative equity positions,

allowing them to sell their homes and potentially loosening supply. “A meaningful rise in the supply of homes on the market should at least tame price appreciation,” Walsh said. All counties - Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura - saw significant price increases. Orange County saw the most dramatic price gains as the county’s median sales price rose 22.3% to $477,000. In Los Angeles County, the median sales price rose 17.1% - a sizable jump, but the smallest of the region. Buyers there shelled out a median of $350,000. This week’s question was answered by Linda Black, Associate Manager, Coldwell Banker, Marina del Rey, (310) 804-6432.

Woman charged in parental abduction case A 27-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of abducting her 8-year-old son and taking him to Florida, Santa Monica police said. Adriana Joriel Johns, who lost custody of her son, Jounel Armon Taylor, to her mother in December, was taken into custody by the Lake County Sheriff’s Department in Clermont, Fla. March 22, Santa Monica police Sgt. Richard Lewis said. The boy, who was taken into custody by deputies, was found in good health and reunited with his grandmother in Florida March

24, Lewis said. The child spent the night with his biological mother March 6 but when Johns was supposed to take her son to school in the morning, she allegedly fled with the boy and stopped communicating with her mother, police said. Johns waived extradition and was brought back to Santa Monica April 5, Lewis said. She was booked on child abduction charges and an outstanding burglary warrant, he said. Bail was set at $150,000.

ADRIANA JORIEL JOHNS, 27, was arrested on suspicion of abducting her 8-year-old son and taking him to Florida.

During the months of April, May and June, the Santa Monica Police Department’s Traffic Enforcement Section will focus on drivers talking or texting on cell phones. Lt. Jay Trisler wants to remind drivers that it is against the law to text on their phone at any time while driving and to drive while talking on their phone without a hands-free device.

The California law on handheld cell phones, one of the first in the nation, went into effect in 2008. The ban on texting followed in 2009. Santa Monica police suggest the following to motorists to avoid receiving a citation, or possibly injuring or killing someone: Turn off the phone and/or put it out of reach while driving;

Don’t call or text anyone when driving or at a time when you think they may be driving; Stay alert and keep your mind on the task of driving. Information, Sgt. Phillbo Rubish with the Santa Monica Police Department’s Traffic Section at (310) 458-8950, or Trisler at (310) 458-8471.

Shop closing marks end of an era for boating community ’77,” said longtime resident and local captain, Richard Schaefer. “It had been in existence barely 10 years then, but already seemed archaic. Not something passed its prime, but rather, a thing of the past, born old, comfortable and familiar - intentionally out of step with the world. “When you stepped around the sleeping dog and entered the shop, the employees were usually found, holed up, inside the small rectangle of display cases and sales counters,” Schaefer continued. “Most times there were no falsely cheery greetings nor a droned, ‘May I help you?’ Instead, just the hint of a smile or the twinkle of the eye acknowledged your arrival.” The word that the building that the Ships Store was in (with a number of other Marina businesses) would be torn down was around for quite sometime, but there was always attached talk of relocation contingencies. With that comfort embedded, it seemed sudden and jarring when owners hung a stark vinyl sign over the door reading, “Store Closing” in large black letters. To see the sign hanging crookedly was an empty end-of-an-era type feeling and a clear sign that progress harbors no sentimentality. “Ships Store was the most active and warmest chandlery in the area,” said Rich Smith, a former employee of the Ships Store in 1976 and founder of Bluewater Sailing in Marina del Rey. “It was a real watering hole of sorts. The cast of characters working there and drifting in were almost up to a Cannery Row level.” Personally, I learned about the Ships Store soon after I came to town. I was looking for some used part or something and someone said, “go over to the

Ships Store, they have a bulletin board that everyone checks out.” Tucked away down a side street was this inconspicuous store with an unleashed dog there to greet me. This wasn’t Boater’s World or West Marine, this was where the locals did business. The fellow behind the counter was not wearing a polo shirt with an embroidered logo – in fact I don’t believe he had on shoes. I had found my way to the heart of the boating community – a humble unaffected little store down a side street. Later, as I became more involved with the local boating community, I would sometimes ask people to leave things at the store for me to pick up in lieu of having to meet a person at a given time. I wouldn’t think to do this anywhere else and I don’t believe I ever asked the owners if it was okay with them. It was this unspoken role as a center that the store possessed which made this kind of behavior normal and acceptable. It’s also why it’s sad to see this brand of intimacy go away. The closing of the Ships Store doors is more than a town losing a shop that’s been around for a while. It’s the loss of a cog, a center and a part of a community’s soul. Capt. Schaefer summed it up this way: “The Ships Store, after more than 40 years of providing the material, as well as the spiritual things of boating and the sea, is dying - one markdown at a time. Shelves, once overflowing with necessities and dreams, are becoming barren. Each “ka-ching” of the register - a clock ticking toward midnight. “What price is this ‘progress?’ I fear this never-ending pursuit of greater development

By Pat Reynolds By boat or by car, a tour through Marina del Rey these days will illustrate that indeed, changes are underway. For residents who have been around a while, it can be uncomfortable. On the road it’s navigating orange cones set up for construction purposes and within the harbor, it’s boats being shuffled around while basins get overhauled. In the local boating community the Marina del Rey redevelopment is fodder for complaint, heated discussion and debate. But recently, the news of a particular causality in the realty of this refit gave us all pause and was a bit of a shot in the guts. When it was learned that the long standing Ships Store on Panay Way was going to close its doors after more than 40 years, local boaters let out a collective sigh of regret. Retail stores and businesses come and go, but none connected this little part of the world quite like this unique down-home boating hardware store. In a town whose physical layout doesn’t lend itself to any sort of intrinsic community, the Ships Store was a de facto hub – a place where boaters would run into each other and make contact. But maybe more than its communal aspects, the sadness of the shop’s closing was brought on by what it represents – a corporate heart. The closing seems unsympathetic and uncompassionate – cold. But of course, these entities probably don’t know that this is a valued neighborhood outpost that reflects the character of a community and that community’s history. “I first wandered into the Ships Store sometime in 1976 or

THE SHIPS STORE had become a de facto hub in Marina del Rey – a place where boaters would run into each other and make contact.

and higher monetary returns will profit us little, and cost Marina del Rey another piece of its soul

- one more fragment of its history - and we haven’t much left to spend.” §

The Westchester Democratic Club will feature two candidates running in high profile races in the upcoming general Los Angeles municipal election at its meeting Tuesday, April 23 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the IHOP restaurant, 8600 S. Sepulveda Blvd., Westchester. Former Councilman and Assemblyman Mike Feuer, candidate for Los Angeles city attorney, and attorney/businessman Ron Galperin, candidate for Los Angeles city controller, will speak about their campaigns and plans for the office seats they are seeking. Attendees will have an opportunity to participate in a question and answer session following the candidates’ presentations. In a heated race to defeat to City Attorney Carmen Trutanich, Feuer is focusing his campaign on secure neighborhoods, safe streets, protecting consumers, preserving the environment and improving the business climate in L.A. Feuer said he hopes to focus on keeping kids out of gangs, criminal prosecution, and fighting for the rights

of everyday Angelinos. As city attorney, Feuer said he would fight for innovative solutions and a city government that inspires confidence and trust. In the March 5 primary, Feuer captured 44.1 percent of the vote to 28.7 percent for Trutanich. In the race for controller, Galperin is running against Councilman Dennis Zine to take over the post currently held by Wendy Greuel, who is termed out and running for mayor. Galperin said he hopes to cut waste and inefficiency, create jobs and improve city services. He said his plans include using city assets wisely and effectively, collecting money owed, and to be strategic in purchases and growing business in L.A. Galperin received 37.8 percent of the vote March 5 while Zine received 36.5 percent of the vote. Parking is available in the lot off Manchester Avenue.

In addition, 15 new restaurants and shops featuring celebrity chefs and retail brand names will be offered. “This is an important milestone in the continuing modernization of LAX,” Los Angeles World Airports Executive Director Gina Marie Lindsey said. “The partnership with Delta Air Lines is enabling significant improvement in customer service and convenience for both domestic and international travelers.” The project is funded using approximately $12 million of Delta Air Lines’ invested capital for proprietary improvements (airline lounge, checkin lobbies, finishes, other architectural elements), and approximately $25 million in reimbursements from the Transportation Security Administration for security-screening measures. The remaining funds are from LAWA’s commercial paper/longterm debt, cash on hand, and passenger facility charges collections. More than 200 construction-related jobs are being created through the project, officials said.

Los Angeles city and airport officials have unveiled plans to significantly overhaul Terminal 5, housing Delta Air Lines, at Los Angeles International Airport. The $229-million construction project is underway at the nation’s fourth busiest airport and is scheduled to take place in several phases, with full completion expected in 2015. “As LAX undergoes a $4.1-billion modernization, we have made it a priority to improve domestic travel as well as updating our international terminal,” Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said. “By overhauling Terminal 5 at LAX, Delta Air Lines helps us ensure that LAX becomes the premier gateway to Los Angeles and to the rest of the United States.” Under the project, the size of the ticketing lobby and federal security screening checkpoints will be doubled and a separate lobby and checkpoint will be provided for Sky Priority members. Other features include a private VIP check-in lobby; a renovation of the Delta Sky Club to include full-service bar, new carpet, tile, and additional recharge stations for personal electronic de-

A stretch of Olympic Drive in Santa Monica was closed for several hours April 9 after some hydraulic fluid apparently spilled from a truck onto the roadway, fire officials said. Santa Monica Fire Department firefighters were called at 8:46 a.m. regarding a reported hazardous materials spill on Olympic Drive from Main to Fourth streets in Santa Monica. Firefighters initially determined the liquid to be hydraulic fluid, and additional units were called to assist in the mitigation of the incident, Capt. Jason Wells said. No injuries were reported.

The area was closed to vehicular traffic as crews removed the fluid and cleaned the street. Santa Monica police were able to locate and stop the truck that allegedly spilled the fluid nearby. The vehicle came from a construction site across from Santa Monica City Hall and is a contracted company by the city, Wells said. Santa Monica Public Works provided street sweepers, pressure washers and personnel to assist in the clean-up. Officials said it did not appear that any of the fluid reached the storm drains.

Task force to hold Earth Day clean-up of Lincoln Boulevard Members of the Lincoln Boulevard Task Force, who have initiated efforts to upgrade the Lincoln Boulevard streetscape, will hold an Earth Day clean-up of the major Santa Monica corridor Saturday, April 20. The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. along Lincoln, south of the 10 freeway to the Venice border. Multiple activities are scheduled throughout the day. The clean-up was initiated by Killeen Pilon, a task force volunteer, who will serve as the event project manager. Volunteers are asked to email earthday@opa-sm.org to fill a variety of roles including help prior to the event. The event is part of Beautify Lincoln, under the direction of Evan Meyer, an Ocean Park Association board member and chair of the streetscape subcommittee of the task force.

Venice

and The task force’s goal is to time facilitate theunder transformation of Lincoln into an attractive, pedestrian-friendly, neighborhood-serving street that reflects the needs and desires of the neighborhood residents and local businesses, said task force chair Roger Swanson. Volunteers are asked to bring their own brooms, work gloves, clippers and trowels to pick up litter and other debris and pull weeds along the sidewalks and grass strips of Lincoln. The city will provide plastic bags for litter/debris and weeds and will arrange for pick up of the refuse. In addition to having six teams removing trash and weeds on both sides of Lincoln, there will be live entertainment, music, and a variety of art events along Lincoln ranging from chalk sidewalk art to painting of murals, and an after-party.

Hama, said she will donate 100 percent of the bento box lunch profits to memorial marker committee, as well as 10 percent of the dinner proceeds that evening, between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. “I am a U. S. citizen running a Japanese restaurant, and I just want to give back to the Venice community, which has been so good to me,” said Chaing. “This is so important, to remember our history so that the same mistakes will not happen again.” The memorial marker committee has raised over $80,000 to build and install the black granite obelisk. Hundreds of donations have ranged from $10 to $1,000. Most recently in February, Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky’s office donated $5,000 towards the project. In March 2012, the National Park Service Japanese American Confinement Sites program awarded a two to one $50,000 matching grant, and Los Angeles Councilman Bill Rosendahl’s office has donated $5,000. In 2011, the memorial committee raised $10,000 at its benefit at Beyond Baroque, and the Venice Neighborhood Council has awarded the project $1,300 in community improvement project funds. Donors of $5,000 or more will be permanently etched into the granite of the memorial marker. The April 25 fundraiser will kick off with a short program at 11 a.m., and pre-ordered bento box lunches may be eaten in or taken out from noon to 2 p.m. Information, www.venicejamm.com.

Man begins coast-to-coast run to provide clean water for African village

A former Illinois pastor has set off from Santa Monica on a run across the country to raise funds to provide clean water for a village in Kenya. Steve Spear, 49, a former pastor at Willow Creek Community Church in a suburb of Chicago, hopes to run the equivalent of a marathon – 26.2 miles – per day from California to New York over the next five months as part of the “Running for Water” project. He is the running ambassador for Team World Vision and hopes to raise $1.5 million to provide clean water for a Kenyan village of 30,000 people. Spear began his coast-to-coast journey April 8 at the Santa Monica Pier. Members of the Pepperdine University Women’s Running Club joined the former pastor for

the first mile of his journey, and volunteers, professional trainers, nutritionists and in-kind sponsors will facilitate Spear’s expedition. Running for Water is the brainchild of Spear, who said he was inspired to create the initiative after meeting a 7-year-old Kenyan girl, Winnie, who lives with her parents and three siblings. Spear notes that like millions of other girls whose families lack access to clean water, Winnie walks alongside her mother for six to 10 miles every day to collect contaminated water in old fuel containers, which can weigh up to 50 pounds. Thousands of children reportedly die every day due to diseases linked to unsafe water, he said. Information, www.teamworldvision.org.

A fundraiser for a planned memorial marker identifying the Venice location from where Japanese-Americans departed for internment camps during World War II will be held at Hama Sushi in Venice Thursday, April 25. The event will take place on the 71st anniversary of the forced removal of some 1,000 persons of Japanese ancestry living on the Westside of Los Angeles who boarded buses at 933 Venice Blvd. in Venice to be transported to the Manzanar internment camp for the remainder of World War II. Given just days’ notice and limited to bring only what they could carry, they were among thousands of other West Coast residents of Japanese ancestry who were required to be sent to war relocation camps under an executive order by President Franklin D. Roosevelt following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The Venice Japanese-American Memorial Marker Committee has led an initiative to erect an obelisk at the northwest corner of Venice and Lincoln boulevards to mark the site where American citizens were forced to leave their homes. The committee, comprised of former internees and concerned citizens, chose to model the marker after the 15-foot obelisk that stands in the center of the Manzanar Cemetery. The fundraiser at Hama Sushi, 213 Windward Ave. in Venice, will offer bento box lunches, including chicken teriyaki, cucumber and potato salads, spicy tuna and California rolls, shrimp and vegetable tempura, plus a bottle of water or a soft drink, for $20 each.

College students spend spring break teaching about energy conservation For some college students, spring break was not about letting loose at the beach or partying at an exotic locale, but rather passing on knowledge of sustainable energy use to younger students. This spring break, 79 student members of CALPIRG Energy Service Corps from 15 universities, including UCLA and University of California-Irvine, visited schools such as the Delphi Academy in Santa Monica to educate over 7,500 K-12th grade students on the importance of conserving energy to protect the environment. The college students as well as CALPIRG’s student AmeriCorps members and interns spent a month planning the trips. During the program, the students toured cities across the state to hold interactive lessons on simple steps K-12 youngsters can take to protect the environment by saving energy. The youths were instructed on actions they can do to save energy at home, such as turning off lights when they leave the room and unplugging appliances that are not in use. A trip kickoff event at the Delphi Academy in Santa Monica was attended by Mayor Pam
