Link between ABC license density, underage drinking found Photo by Eric Lawton
By Gary Walker Venice and its world renowned boardwalk have long been a favorite tourist destination and a popular playground for locals, especially during the spring and summer months. Those from outside California who visit Venice are not typically interested in attending a poetry reading as much as they are in visiting Venice Beach, interacting with the boardwalk’s multitude of performers and hanging out in the beachside community’s many bars and night spots. And while local officials are aware of the attraction to Venice and the need to have a wide array of businesses to serve the tourists and local population, including many that serve alcohol, a recent study on the concentration of outlets that sell liquor and wine in the coastal enclave has some of them very concerned. According to data collected by the Westside Impact Project, a Los Angeles County campaign that is seeking to lower the number of alcoholrelated problems in Santa Monica and Venice, both communities have substantially higher densities of outlets where liquor can be purchased than other areas of the county. In Venice, there are 106 businesses licensed to sell liquor, beer and wine within the seaside town of 3.17 square miles, which equates to 33 outlets per square mile on average. The county average, according the Westside Impact Project, is 16 alcohol outlets per square mile. Venice’s neighbor, Santa Monica, fares equally as dense as far as the number of bars, liquor stores and restaurants where alcohol can be purchased. The state Department of Alcohol Beverage Control says Santa Monica ranks sixth highest in the county for

LAX study contradicts charge that runway move will shut down Lincoln By Gary Walker A report on how a controversial Los Angeles International Airport plan would reconfigure one of the Westside’s most traveled and important thoroughfares contradicts claims of a two-year shutdown by Westchester and Playa del Rey residents. Los Angeles World Airports is embracing what is known as Alternative 1 of the LAX Specific Plan Amendment Study, which would move the airport’s northernmost runway 260 feet towards Playa del Rey and Westchester, a plan that has enraged not only residents of the two communities but also members of other Westside communities. Opponents of this plan contend that moving the runway will cause it to overlap Lincoln Boulevard

where it meets Sepulveda Boulevard less than a mile from the airport and will necessitate closing Lincoln, which like Sepulveda, is a major vehicular thoroughfare. This they say, will create a two year “Carmageddon,” a term associated with the predicted logjam on the 405 freeway after it was closed in 2011 for road enhancements on the Sepulveda Pass. The predictions of severe, miles-long traffic backups two years ago did not materialize. The airport review of potential Lincoln reconfiguration was conducted by Mark Orton, who has 37 years of experience in highway design, in coordination with LAWA Senior Transportation Engineer Patrick Tomcheck. It states that any (Continued on page 11)

LMU parking frustration
Re: “Twenty-first century vision for LMU” (Argonaut, April 11). Loyola Marymount University’s parking lots (the 80th Street lot and University Hall) have literally hundreds of empty spaces on school days while our streets are jammed. When president David Burcham says LMU is trying their best to mitigate any kind of effect that charging for parking will have on the neighborhood, that’s a little disingenuous since the university created the problem. It’s like someone who sets your house on fire and then offers you water. Forgive me for not mustering the praise expressed by the others you interviewed. When Burcham says that he pledges to continue working with the university’s neighbors, he means he will continue doing exactly nothing. I don’t doubt that he worries about the issue, but not out of empathy for his neighbors. The fact is LMU has taken no action to alleviate the situation.
I have met with Clarence Griffin; I have sent him photos of empty LMU parking lots and jammed neighborhood streets; I attended the neighborhood meeting; I’ve written to and met with Los Angeles Councilman Bill Rosendahl’s office; I’ve written to the City Attorney’s Office. The university has done exactly nothing in response, so Burcham’s “pledge” is nothing more than pandering. He claims empathy because he lives near California State University-Long Beach. Did he happen to mention if his home had ample street parking when he moved in, and his “neighbor” effectively stole it from him? LMU touts their offer to pay for permit parking. Why didn’t they wait until the permit signs were up to change their policy? Why didn’t they poll the neighborhood first to see if we wanted permit parking? The answer is money. At the neighborhood meeting in February, the university’s vice

Venice
Rep. Waxman expected to appear at community meeting on Santa Monica Airport
MINDY TAYLOR-ROSS (center) says one of her top priorities is having the flight path of Santa Monica Airport aircraft changed to go over Santa Monica.
By Gary Walker Nearly 18 months after state Sen. Ted Lieu (D-Marina del Rey) held a panel discussion on the potential ramifications from pollutants emanating from a nearby airfield, Westside residents will have a second opportunity to hear from their elected representatives as well as scientists on their opinions on Santa Monica Airport Saturday, April 27 at Penmar Recreation Center in Venice beginning at 1 p.m. The Venice Neighborhood Council’s Santa Monica Airport Committee is hosting the event and has invited Rep. Henry
Waxman (D-Venice), Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl and Lieu. The latter two represent Mar Vista. Waxman’s office confirmed to The Argonaut April 19 that he plans to attend the community meeting. Venice, Mar Vista and West Los Angeles residents who live near the airport have been advocating for a change in the airport’s departure path, which is designed to travel over their communities. On Dec. 1, 2009 the Federal Aviation Administration began testing a new departure strategy
for airplanes leaving the airport. Instead of the usual 210-degree heading, aircraft were directed to make a right turn soon after take-off and fly at a 250-degree heading, or angle of an aircraft to an object, taking them over Santa Monica. The experiment, which applied to piston-powered instrument flight rules departures only, ended approximately six months later. FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said no determination has been reached regarding the 250-degree heading. Changing the departure policy is one of Mindy Taylor-Ross’ top priorities. Taylor-Ross, a Venice resident who is a member of the community’s Santa Monica Airport Committee, says the airplanes that take off from the general aviation airport have drastically changed the quality of life for her and many of her neighbors. “The airport traffic that is sent over our community has increased over the last several years,” she said. “We hope that Santa Monica Airport will come together with Los Angeles to share the burden of the flight path with Santa Monica. “We want to make it more
Teaching your children good oral hygiene now makes for a healthier future Help your kids form good habits that will serve them a lifetime
What chronic disease affects more than 40% of kindergarten-age children? No, it’s not asthma and it’s not hay fever. The answer is tooth decay. In fact, despite being largely preventable, tooth decay is one of the most widespread chronic childhood diseases in America. So how can you help? By helping your kids form strong oral health habits at a young age.
Get your child involved:
As your child gets older, look for ways to get them involved in their oral health. This can be as simple as letting them pick out their own toothbrush and toothpaste. Be sure to pre-screen their selection, making sure the toothbrush is soft bristled and ADA approved, and that the toothpaste is safe for their age. When you feel it is appropriate, let them try their hand at brushing on their own. Although a Your new Bright Now!

equitable.” Closing the airport, moving the airport’s flight schools, pollution from Santa Monica’s airport and the use of leaded fuel in aircraft are some of the other topics that will be on the agenda. Santa Monica Airport Association President Steven Siry was unaware of the event until informed by The Argonaut. Siry says some of the members of his organization may attend the forum. “It sounds like it will be many of the same people complaining about some of the same things about the airport that they have been for years,” he said. Seeing the airport shut down is another priority of Tayor-Ross and her supporters, but is a move that Siry and other supporters of the airport oppose. Those who want to see Santa Monica Airport shut down point to a fatal accident almost three years ago in Venice by a pilot practicing landings at Justice Aviation. Robert Davenport was at the helm of a single-engine Cessna 152 July1, 2010 when his plane crashed near the eighth hole of the nine-hole Penmar Golf Course in Venice, not far from where the April 27 meeting will be held. Davenport, who was practicing what are known in aviation parlance as “touch and go” landings, was killed in the crash. The landing being performed by Davenport is where a pilot essentially lands on a runway without coming to a full stop and then takes off again. “‘Touch and goes’ are used in training to learn to judge the distance when a pilot is descending on a runway,” Santa Airport Director Robert Trimborn explained. “One of the most critical points in instruction in aviation is landing.” Regarding leaded fuel in airplanes, Siry said this was not a complaint limited only to the Santa Monica Airport. “Fuel issues are global issues,” he said. If the state would allow airplanes to use alcohol-free fuel, the association president believes, many pilots would use it if their engines were certified for nonleaded fuel. “Aviation gasoline (the fuel used by most airplanes) is about $7 a gallon,” Siry noted. “Unleaded fuel is less expensive.” There have been previous forums where the issue of pollutants from the general aviation airfield was discussed and analyzed at length. On Nov. 30, 2011, Lieu convened a panel of experts to give them and others an opportunity to offer their opinions as well as empirical evidence about how pollutants from the
aircraft that land at the airport can affect those who reside near the airfield. “There is no doubt in my mind that there are higher levels of particulate matter in the areas near the Santa Monica Airport,” the senator said after the 2011 forum. “And based on what these studies show, I believe that they are coming from the jet exhaust as well as from the piston aircraft. “But again, it’s good to have experts explain that,” Lieu added. “And there could be public criticism of that and the experts can respond.” One of the main reasons that the senator convened the air quality hearing was based on an analysis by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released this past summer. The July 13 investigation, which targeted minors living near airfields in North Carolina, revealed a high level of lead in their bloodstreams, which the agency found was caused by piston aircraft using aviation gasoline. Taylor-Ross welcomes the input of Lieu and Waxman. “I have been very impressed with both of them,” she said. §

Community garden members express anxiety at possible sale of land that there were no other such places in the community where residents could garden in a designated, non-residential location. Community gardens have been a popular concept in other parts of the Los Angeles area like Santa Monica. “I just couldn’t believe there wasn’t one in Venice, and thought that of all the places in L.A., Venice seems like the natural place for a community garden,” Wood recalled. “I’ve always been sort of enchanted by community gardens, seeing them in a big city.” In addition to offering an area for community members to learn and practice gardening, the site has hosted pot luck events and classes as well as field trips for students from local schools like Coeur d’Alene Elementary. The garden, with its 4-foot-by-12-foot plots, has drawn the attention of many a passerby, particularly those on bicycles, said Wood, who believes people are attracted by the sight of a garden in an urban area. “I think it’s that sense of seeing something like this in the middle of a city that is always kind of startling and exciting,” he said. “It just brings a certain joy that I think other things don’t – seeing a garden growing in the city, especially in L.A. where there’s not that much green space.” While the Venice garden has been well-received, Wood and others are

By Vince Echavaria Amid a row of residences not far from Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice lies a serene open-air lot that is home to sprouting fruits and vegetables and a variety of plants. The 6,000-square foot property at Mildred and Clark avenues with 54 designated plots is where community members test out their green thumbs, planting and growing their own assortments of food. Those with a passion for gardening, some beginners and others more experienced, come to the Venice Community Garden as individuals or with family and friends to take advantage of the land that is wide open for sunlight in the middle of a Los Angeles neighborhood. Here, they can also swap tips on sustainable practices and different techniques for growing healthy foods. “People just love it and it’s sort of become a bit of a landmark around here,” said Kip Wood, the founder of the Venice Community Garden. “We really created something that the community loves, is beautiful and is thriving.” Since the garden opened about three years ago the site has become quite popular among local residents, and has now attracted a wait list of approximately 200 people for individual plots, Wood said. When Wood launched the garden program he said he was shocked to find
RESIDENT JENNIFER EAGEN, shown with her daughter, Addie, and son, Jake, says gardening is an activity that her family can do together.
saddened that the land may no longer be used for garden space, as the property owner has expressed his intention of selling the parcel. If the land were to be purchased, Wood said it is likely the gardens would be replaced with some type of development. Wood currently pays a monthly rent to use the land after collecting fees from garden members. For some members, the program has been a way for them to pursue their interests in gardening and eating healthier. “I was attracted to the idea of producing my own food,” said Jake Alfonso, who grows tomatoes, peppers, squash and cantaloupe. “It’s fresh and it makes a world of difference in the flavor.” Jennifer Eagen, who was working on her garden one recent afternoon with her daughter, Addie, and son, Jake, said gardening is an activity her family can do together while also seeking healthier food choices. “I’ve never done it before but I’m really interested in having my kids eat healthier and being able to do it ourselves, and it seemed like a great way to do something from the seed to cooking and eating it,” said Eagen, whose family grows peppers, cucumber, kale, lettuce and tomatoes. Resident Gonzalo Amat, who learned about gardening from his father and grandfather, said the community garden provides the adequate space for growing food that his apartment lacks. “I want to try to get (gardening) back as a family thing,” he said. The garden lot property is owned by Don Novack, the owner of Hal’s Bar and Grill on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, who says he plans to put the land up for sale sometime this summer. Novack has been pleased to allow community members to make use of the land for gardening interests but says it’s costly to leave it as a garden. “I’ve talked to a few of the plot owners and they all love it, and I think we really need gardens in the area. I like the idea of that whole thing,” said Novack, who noted that he has bought food grown at
the garden for his restaurants, Hal’s and CasaLinda. Novack said he would love to be able to sell the property and have it preserved as a garden but that may be a difficult option financially for the buyer. Once the parcel is sold he anticipates that it could take six months to a year before the new owner takes over, and he hopes to give the garden members adequate notice of the plans. Some gardeners lamented the possible loss of the lot and hoped outreach efforts may help find a buyer interested in preserving the garden. “I’m really bummed; we waited a really long time to be able to do this and just because of the importance of the education around it for my children and how it brings the family together,” Eagen said. “There’s so many nice people who share gardening tips and it’s a great community to be a part of so I would hate to see that go.” Molly Tait said being a part of the Venice Community Garden has enabled her to feel more connected to her community and she would be “absolutely gutted if it was gone.” Wood said he is not aware of another Venice location that is available and offers the same benefits: plenty of sunlight, easy parking, and being quiet and away from the main road. Noting the challenge of finding a solution that could preserve the property for garden use, Wood said he hopes there may be a group like a land trust or philanthropic organization that could provide funding in an effort to save a community resource. “It’s such an asset to the community and I’d hate to lose it,” he said. A community garden in South Los Angeles that was in danger of being auctioned in a county sale three years ago was saved after the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust intervened at the encouragement of a community gardener. The land trust helped postpone the sale and find a philanthropist who contributed $150,000 toward the project. §
Letters (Letters continued from page 3) president of community relations, Kathleen Flanagan, stated that the revenue stream created by the parking fees was necessary to secure the bond issue for the life sciences building. So when Burcham says he cares, it’s not the neighbors he cares about, it’s money. We’re not being unreasonable. LMU has the parking spots, but they won’t let their students and workers use them. We understand the revenue stream; they can add the parking fees into the tuition and the problem is solved. This is the way it was when I attended LMU in the 1990s, so there is precedent, and it worked. Despite the existence of an easy solution, LMU is intransigent. Burcham met with Rosendahl on April 3 at City Hall and said the city cannot force LMU to change their policy, so LMU won’t change it. Then when he is interviewed by the newspaper, he says he is working with us. He knows there’s a problem, he knows people are upset; he has the power to easily fix it, and he won’t. I also did not think I’d be spending this much time on parking issues, Mr. Burcham. You made your bed; now lie in it. Dan Coyle Westchester
Respecting the original inhabitants
Thank you for your ongoing coverage regarding our precious remaining wildlife area of the Ballona Wetlands. I also want to make the point that the part of Ballona that the Annenberg Foundation wants to build on was a registered “sacred site” of the Tongva indigenous people of Los Angeles before the state of California bought it. The Tongva people have been living in this area for 10,000 years. Almost all of their sacred sites, including the Ballona West Bluff, have been destroyed through development. They deserve respect for the few remaining undeveloped parts of Sa’angna (the Ballona Wetlands). Kathy Knight
Equal taxpayer rates Re: “Clarifying Prop 13 effects” (Argonaut letters, April 18). The letter writer who purported to clarify Prop. 13 is either too young to recall reasonable tax rates in the 1960s and 70s or she is the owner of commercial property that has been well protected by the proposition. After living in a $50,000 Brentwood home for 25 years and paying very reasonable taxes, I bought a condo in the post-Prop. 1980s. My property tax has gone up 2 percent each year regardless of whether its value has increased or declined. I now pay $6,000 a year for 1,400 square feet. Friends who kept homes that are now worth a million dollars or more
are still paying 1970s-taxes along with commercial establishments for whom this legislation was really crafted. It is time to establish equally fair rates for all, especially for first-time owners who are raising young families. If the Los Angeles International Airport expansion reduces the value of our post-Prop. 13 properties, we will still be paying the 2 percent increase every year. Lynne Shapiro Marina del Rey
You can’t ‘bamboozle’ us
California Department of Fish and Wildlife Director Charlton H. Bonham states, “We hope this (interpretive) center will become a place where community members can come to learn how nature works . . . .” Really? Bonham’s statement is reminiscent of Sen. Rand Paul’s recent attempt to inform Howard University students about AfricanAmerican history. Many of the Del Rey neighborhood residents have lived adjacent to the Ballona Wetlands for decades, and they already know how nature works. They know that building on a natural habitat, even a degraded one, is not how nature works. It is how nature is destroyed. The Annenberg Foundation keeps postponing their presentation to the Del Rey residents because they discovered that the community members are too knowledgeable about the Ballona Wetlands to be bamboozled.

Off with the billboards
Re: “For Clear Channel and CBS Outdoors, it’s time to turn off the lights” (Argonaut, April 18). I agree with Clear Channel spokesman David Graybert that the digital billboards can affect public safety and impact the community but not in the way he thinks. When the billboard at the intersection of Lincoln and Washington boulevards was erected many years ago my foremost thought was, “great, one more thing to distract drivers!” Turning the billboards off increases public safety by having one less distraction on the roads, which in turn benefits the community.

Venice, says she sees the effects of underage drinking among teens at the club. “We see how much kids struggle with it and recognize this is an issue that is perpetuated by many factors, including the lack of youth-friendly entertainment, adults who enable drinking, and a lack of empowerment among our youth when it comes to decisions around alcohol,” she said. “If our community works collaboratively, it’s exciting to think we can create a big shift in our attitudes about it.”
a decidedly younger crowd on the weekends. “My concern was that Abbott Kinney was going to become another venue for the young crowd to primarily drink rather than a street more balanced with diners and drinkers,” she said. Her anxiety “escalated” after the Other Room, a popular night spot that caters to a younger crowd on Abbot Kinney, opened. “It would be a gold mine if police were to set up (sobriety) checks on both ends of the street,” Spierer said. Spierer, like Lucks, was unaware
“Having the data on density of alcohol licenses to share with the community before we vote would have been important and may have changed the outcome of several recent approvals,” —Venice Neighborhood Council President Linda Lucks Some Venice community leaders think it is time to consider the number of applicants who apply for liquor licenses, given the county density numbers. While the approval of the city Planning Commission is required in order to approve plans for an establishment to sell beer, wine or liquor, the Venice Neighborhood Council’s Land Use and Planning Committee also reviews them. “The Venice Neighborhood Council board has to look harder and closer before agreeing to alcohol licenses. Having the data on density of alcohol licenses to share with the community before we vote would have been important and may have changed the outcome of several recent approvals,” said Venice Neighborhood Council President Linda Lucks. Elaine Spierer, who lives on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, has seen the transformation of the popular commercial and entertainment thoroughfare over the last decade or so. The hip and eclectic restaurants and bars have attracted
that Venice has such a high density of establishments that sell alcohol. “I had absolutely no idea,” she said. Blanch, who also lives in Venice, said she was not surprised to hear that many people are unaware of the level of alcohol density or how it relates to other factors. “The really interesting thing is that people don’t seem to draw a correlation between crime, drinking and driving and domestic violence,” she said. Lucks thinks community pressure can help draw attention to what many have begun to see as a growing problem in Venice. “If South Los Angeles can get together to limit the number of liquor stores in their neighborhood, so can we,” the neighborhood council president said. Third District Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, who represents Venice and Santa Monica, did not return calls for comment. §
Non-profit tries to battle underage drinking and distracted driving By Gary Walker An organization forged after a tragedy is now seeking to turn what were sad occasions into a preventive vehicle that it hopes will allow teenagers not to run the same fate as others have. Gail Schenbaum Lawton, Cheryl Wada and Debbie Barnett all have children who attended funerals of their teenage friends who had died in alcohol, distracted and reckless driving collisions within a two-year period. Those losses helped launch Streetwise Media In One Instant, a nonprofit organization that visits high schools in order to show teenagers how in one instant life can go terribly wrong. They recently visited Santa Monica High School to illustrate the dangers of driving while intoxicated, distracted or texting. The program challenges and requires each student to participate and understand the impact their decisions have on family, friends and the community. At Santa Monica, a crashed car/memorial site was created on campus so students could see the very real PAGE 10 THE ARGONAUT April 25, 2013
consequences of engaging in reckless behavior behind the wheel of a car. Santa Monica and Venice, places where Westside teens as well as from other areas of Los Angeles flock due to the beach and entertainment opportunities, have high rates of alcohol outlet density, a fact that is not lost on Schenbaum Lawton. “I had heard that there is a high rate of accidents in Santa Monica,” she said. The beachside community is eighth among the county’s 117 communities for its alcohol-related accidents. According to Pew Research Center, texting while driving is at the top of the list as the most common distraction while driving for teens. Last year, over two million injury crashes were reported in the United States involving distracted driving. At Santa Monica High, 75 percent of 11th graders reported that alcohol is “very easy” or “fairly easy” to get, according to county statistics. Forty-three percent of them said last year that they had a drink within the
past 30 days, and 26 percent of the same juniors said they had engaged in binge drinking, which are five or more drinks at once. Westside Impact Project Manager Sarah Blanch said county surveys have also shown that it is easier for minors to purchase alcohol in Santa Monica and Venice than almost anywhere else on the Westside. “What we’ve found is that when we see teenage drinking it’s often because in many cases adults enable teens to engage in underage drinking,” Blanch said. “Alcohol at home is the primary access point for teenage drinking.” In One Instant visited University High School April 18 and plans to introduce its program to other local high schools in the near future. “We plan to visit (Westchester Enriched Science Magnets) and Venice High School in the fall,” said Schenbaum Lawton.

Opponents of moving LAX runway question report on Lincoln Boulevard (Continued from cover) reconfiguration of the boulevard will be included in the final environmental impact report and therefore it is not accurate to predict that Lincoln will become more congested in the future. “As indicated in the (study’s) final EIR, this realignment of Lincoln Boulevard is conceptual in nature, and considered at only a programmatic level of analysis in the EIR. Consequently, no construction phasing plans for the subject improvement have been prepared, as such plans would be more appropriately developed in conjunction with more detailed future planning and design of that project,” the report states. Ken Alpern, a Mar Vista resident who is the co-chair of the Transit Coalition, dismissed the report by Tomcheck and Orton. “Consider the source,” said Alpern, a member of the Mar Vista Community Council. “These are the people who for many years have put one obstacle after another in front of the Green Line (a light rail train) from getting into LAX.” Craig Eggers, who heads the Neighborhood Council of WestchesterPlaya’s Airport Relations Committee, took issue with the report based on the fact that no analysis on the Lincoln-Sepulveda exchange has been conducted, as the report points out. “How can they say that when there are no studies?” Eggers asked. CDM Smith, a consulting,
engineering, construction and operations firm, provided research for evaluation of the traffic impact on Lincoln. The firm identified the basic phases of a typical roadway realignment program such as what is conceptually proposed for Lincoln, based on expert opinion and professional experience on other projects of a similar nature, according to LAWA officials. “In light of the site setting and basic characteristics of this conceptual improvement, no long-term closure
are supporting LAWA’s plan, including the influential Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and several of the city’s biggest public sector unions. The Board of Airport Commissioners, much to Westchester residents’ dismay, also joined airport executives in voting in favor of Alternative 1. The groans in Westchester grew even louder when the LAX Coastal Area Chamber of Commerce, to which business-minded residents pledge strong allegiance and many members of the Neighborhood Council of WestchesterPlaya have direct or indirect ties to, decided to cast its fate with LAWA’s runway plan as well. That led to an exodus of members from the local chamber, including Airport Commissioner Valeria Velasco, a Playa del Rey resident. “Following the lead of Karen Dial and Drollinger Properties and other chamber members, it is with regret that I will not be renewing my membership in the chamber this year because the chamber supports (Alternative 1) which will further negatively impact the 60,000 men, women and children who live, work, study and play in Playa del Rey and Westchester,” Velasco, the only commissioner to vote against Alternative 1, wrote to the local chamber in March. Mary Grady, a LAWA spokeswoman, did not return calls for comment on the report. The City Council is slated to vote Tuesday, April 30 on LAX’s modernization plan.§
“There is no reasonable basis to believe that construction of the realigned Lincoln Boulevard associated with implementation of the (Specific Plan Amendment Study) board-selected alternative would require the complete closure of Lincoln Boulevard at any time during construction, let alone for an extended period.” — Mark Orton of Lincoln Boulevard is anticipated to be required in order to complete the realignment of Lincoln Boulevard. The boundaries of the project site are in an undeveloped area that is owned and controlled by LAWA. The majority of the realigned segment of Lincoln Boulevard would be located several hundred feet away from the existing alignment,” the

report states. “There is no reasonable basis to believe that construction of the realigned Lincoln Boulevard associated with implementation of the (Specific Plan Amendment Study) board-selected alternative would require the complete closure of Lincoln Boulevard at any time during construction, let alone for an extended period.” Alpern thinks the reason for the review is because airport officials are aware of the public groundswell against moving the runway.
“It is my belief that LAWA is much more concerned that the real problems are coming to light and therefore that (Alternative 1) is the wrong approach to modernization,” he asserted. The rancorous dispute between LAWA and residents who reject its runway plan has grown beyond the borders of Westchester. A strange mix of entities not typically aligned with one another

Raise Me Up presented at Santa Monica Playhouse The Santa Monica Playhouse is presenting Lisa Phillips Visca’s Raise Me Up through May 19. Performances are scheduled at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 3 p.m. Sundays at the playhouse, 1211 Fourth St., Santa Monica. Raise Me Up is based on a true story about a “moonstruck” couple’s forbidden love, the hilarity and drama from their deeply passionate Italian-Greek families, and how they spent their last day on Earth together. Phillips Visca wrote the play as a tribute to her parents, Louis and Daphne Padula, hoping to capture their eternal passion and the surreal ending to their classic love story. Set in Staten Island, NY in the early 1950s, Raise Me Up reflects the postwar optimism of the younger generation of the era, and the hope in the air for better
times. At the same time, the story tells of how the older generation and parents are still anchored in the traditional ethnic, nationalistic, economic, and religious divisions, a playhouse spokesperson said. The play is directed by Chris DeCarlo. The cast features Marla Adams, John Del Regno, Serena Dolinsky, Ben Feuer, Mitch Lerner, Michael Marinaccio, Lenora May, Stuart Pankin, Evelyn Rudie and Joey Shea. Tickets are $25 for general admission; $22.50 for students, teachers, seniors and members of the military; $17.50 for groups of eight or more; and $15 for ages 12 and under. For reservations, http:// SantaMonicaPlayhouse.com, (310) 3949779 ext 1. RAISE ME UP, featuring actors Ben Feuer and Marla Adams, was written by Lisa Phillips Visca as a tribute to her parents.

Tickets are $15 for the 8:30 p.m. show. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Both shows will open with magician PAGE 12 THE ARGONAUT April 25, 2013
David Groves. Supporters say the church has been a hotbed of activism relating to social justice and fairness. Some of the church’s groups include the Committee on Racial Justice, which meets regularly to work on changing systemic patterns of racism. Additionally, the church has played a part in the creation of several now prominent organizations including the Liberty Hill Foundation, an activist social change philanthropic organization that had its first
office at the church in the 1970s, supporters say. The Westside Family Health Center also had its origins in the church. The Ocean Park Community Center (OPCC), a social service organization in Santa Monica, was housed at the church for 15 years. Event organizers say the church needs to raise $95,000 to pay for needed electrical and sound system upgrades as well as support for current church initiatives. “The Church in Ocean Park has played a
creative and innovative role in the evolution of Santa Monica,” said Jim Conn. “It continues that work today, and its work is essential to the future of this city.” Pastor Janet McKeithen added, “We provide a place where the powerful and the powerless come to the same place with equal voice and work to initiate positive change within themselves and in the world.” To purchase tickets, churchop. nationbuilder.com, (310) 399-1631, or info@ churchop.org.
Live organ music to accompany Buster Keaton film screenings at Santa Monica High’s Barnum Hall The “madcap” 1920s will return in style on Saturday, April 27, when Buster Keaton silent films will be screened at Barnum Hall auditorium at Santa Monica High School, accompanied by theater organist and composer Robert Israel playing the newly restored Barnum Hall Wurlitzer. The concert, which benefits the Samohi band, features two classic Keaton films. In the first, Sherlock, Jr. (1924, 45 minutes), Keaton portrays a wronged movie theater projectionist who dreams of becoming a great detective and clearing his name. In Sherlock, Jr., Keaton enters a movie screen where evershifting reality becomes the stage for the actor’s physical stunts and deadpan humor. Sherlock Jr. is listed among the Top 100 Comedies by the American Film Institute and became a National Film Registry award-winner in 1991. The second feature, The Cook (1918, 22 minutes) stars Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle as chef and Keaton as a waiter at the posh Bull Pup Café. The film also features Luke the Dog, who joins his master, Arbuckle, in pursuing a would-be robber. Believed lost for 80 years, The Cook was rediscovered in 1998 in cans of film belonging to the Norwegian Film Institute.
The film was restored by the National Library of Norway. It was Keaton’s last film before serving in World War I, released after his unit had embarked for France. Rounding out the evening’s entertainment is the animated short, Sense and Nonsense (1926), one of the few surviving silent films featuring George Herriman’s comic strip creation Krazy Kat. Theater organ player and composer Israel provides an original score for each film, which he will perform live. Israel has scored dozens of silent films for Turner Classic Movies and release on DVD. He maintains a library of thousands of original theater scores, many rescued from downtown Los Angeles theaters. The Barnum Hall Wurlitzer is a full-featured instrument with dual organ chambers flanking the stage. Organ enthusiast Gordon Belt donated the current Wurlitzer in 2004. It was redesigned and installed by the Crome Organ Company and debuted in 2010. During the event, writer and Keaton expert Patricia Eliot Tobias will share behind-thescenes stories from the making of the films. Sherlock, Jr. and The Cook will show with live organ

Café Del Rey
4451 Admiralty Way, Marina del Rey. 310-823-6395. The long curve of Admiralty Way in Marina del Rey has been a restaurant row for decades, though for much of the time the offerings weren’t particularly ambitious. The first exception, and for a long time the only adventurous dining in the area, was Café Del Rey. There a succession of chefs explored various culinary avenues – I remember enjoying JapaneseFrench fusion when it first opened, then a foray into hyper-exotic combinations when I returned in 2008. In 2013 the menu has calmed down from that exuberant and sometimes overheated style that put oxtail risotto and halibut on the same plate. It hasn’t become stodgy – new chef Daniel Roberts still presents daring ideas, but they are grounded in French and Italian ideas of flavor with surprising forays into other cuisines. I enjoyed Roberts’ cooking when he was at Baleen in Redondo Beach, and had to see what he was doing in his new digs. The restaurant’s décor has not greatly changed – the odd angles of the building and vibrant colors still appear futuristic after all these years. We settled into a comfortable booth with a view of boats in the Marina and pored over the menu while nibbling on focaccia, finally settling on starters of house cured salmon on wheat blinis and a bowl of carrot-ginger soup. The salmon were cured in the Scandinavian gravlax style that gives it a gentle tang of salt and
sugar, then put atop thick little pancakes and topped with a smear of crème fraiche and caviar. They were four bites of rich and multilayered goodness, a refined nibble to start the meal. They happened to be superb when paired with soup in which the carrot was the dominant flavor, with ginger and a dash of coriander modifying it delicately. We quite approved; the last time I tried carrot ginger soup in a restaurant it seemed to be mostly hot ginger by volume, and the subtlety of the vegetable flavor was overwhelmed. We continued by splitting agnolotti – small raviolis filled with English peas sautéed in brown butter, then put over a bed of pureed peas with pancetta and pea tendrils. There were three different flavors of fresh peas here: raw, pureed and whole, and the effect was magnificent. I strongly advise ordering this – the season for pea tendrils is short, but this item would be worth a special trip. To pair with our meals my wife ordered a Gauthier Sauvignon Blanc, while I chose a wine flight – three short pours of different wines. Some were designed by region, some by the grape, and I was having trouble until I came to a mixed flight called “Indecisive.” Since that described my state of mind, I ordered it. One of the few constants at Café Del Rey has been the excellent wine selection, and this well-calculated, eclectic flight encapsulated that as well as anything – a Kenwood California sparkler, Lodi Zinfandel, and delightful Spanish Garnacha. For main courses we selected handmade squid ink pasta with lobster, caramelized fennel, and tarragon, plus a remarkable pork tagine with black quinoa, dates, pancetta and vegetables. The
pasta was very good, the lobster cream sauce with a dash of chili a perfect fit with the seafood, but the tagine was a revelation. Since this style of braising is native to the Muslim world it is very rare to find pork used, and since quinoa is from Peru, that isn’t done either, but together they were marvelous. The pork was tender and intensely flavorful, the quinoa was nutty and firm, and the mix of yam, zucchini and cippolini onion with coriander cream added wonderful accents. The portion was unexpectedly large, and we took a lot home to enjoy the next day. We had over-ordered at dinner, but had to try dessert – an olive oil cake with blood orange meringue along with a flight of dessert wines. We had hesitated over another item we saw, and our server surprised us with a complimentary glass of Banyuls dessert wine. The only deficiency of Café Del Rey’s menus is that they don’t describe obscure items like this one – Banyuls is a rarely and delightful wine, and if more people knew what it was they might order it. This sweet wine is famously good with chocolate but it paired well with the lightly tart orange and rich cake, and even though we were full we enjoyed every morsel and drop. Our lavish dinner for two ran $150, but we had over-ordered and a satisfying meal might be had here for much less. Given the excellent service, pleasant environment and stellar food, it was well spent. Café Del Rey is at 4451 Admiralty Way in Marina del Rey. Open daily for lunch or brunch and dinner.

Q&A
As a new real estate agent, what’s the best way to set up a home office?
A: When you first decided to become a real estate agent, were you attracted by the flexible hours and the fact that you wouldn’t be chained to a desk? You, like many others before you, may have decided that working from a home office was the way to go. If this was the case, you probably learned quickly that while these freedoms are nice, they can also make it harder to be productive and complete each day’s goals. Distractions abound and it becomes easy to put off those particularly annoying tasks until “tomorrow.” Here are some tips on getting the most out of working from home. Tip 1: Make a schedule and stick to it. A good schedule covers what you absolutely need to accomplish, while being realistic about the amount of time each week to grow your business through FARMing (FARMing 101: Keys to success article) and prospecting for new business. Create a habit. For instance, spend
your mornings completing administrative paperwork, touching base with clients on current deals, and preparing new listing packages and signage. Then, spend the rest of the day prospecting - in the home office or out. Stick to your schedule. This means planning for potential distractions, including personal phone calls, family members, pet noise and televisions. However, this does not mean you are to put your personal life second. Some agents find themselves on the clock all the time, as they’ve allowed the line to blur between work hours and non-work hours. Make sure to schedule time for family and friends outside of your established working hours. To have a life, plan it. Tip 2: Make a space. Camping out and working on the couch is not likely to get you very far. Invest heavily in personalizing your office space. Stock it with the office
equipment you need to get the job done. Do not try to conduct your entire business from your smart phone. You will need an actual computer, printer, scanner, fax machine - and of course a desk and comfortable chair. This is your workspace. As you’ll invariably spend many hours in your car each week, keep chargers for your mobile products - tablets, phones, supra keys - in your car. Increasingly, agents carry laptops or tablets (and sometimes mobile printers) so they can type up and process transactions quickly. To keep all your work materials together, consider purchasing a car organizer. Tip 3. Find support. Working from home can make anyone feel disconnected. However, the great thing about working from home during this day and age is that you are not alone. There are plenty of other workers - in real estate and other professions - who live nearby and deal with the same struggles unique to working
from a home office. Organize midday breaks for walks, refreshments, conversations about work and family. Where can you find these fellow home office workers? Start by asking around your own professional network. You can also reach out through the virtual social network to create a live one. Form a community by planning regular meetings with these solitary workers. Tip 4: Take advantage of the benefits. Working from home can save money by skipping expensive desk fees, and time by eliminating your commute and office-chatter distractions. Further, tax deductions are allowed for the percentage of your home set aside exclusively for your home office.

Sen. Lieu becomes ‘swatting’ victim after proposing law to combat it By Gary Walker Less than a week after introducing his proposed bill to penalize those engaging in the practice of “swatting,” state Sen. Ted Lieu was subjected to the trendy and dangerous phenomenon that he is trying to legislate. A victim is subjected to swatting when a call is made to a 911 operator to send emergency personnel to a residence by falsely reporting that there is an emergency or an accident. On April 19, a call was made to the Torrance Police
Department falsely claiming that Lieu’s wife had been shot. Emergency personnel were deployed to the senator’s Torrance home, where no incident had taken place. Under Senate Bill 333, which would apply to any cases of false 911 reports, a person convicted of making a fake emergency report would be held liable for all costs associated with the response by law enforcement. Estimates range from several thousand dollars to over $10,000 per episode. “The recent spate of phony

reports to law enforcement officials that someone’s home is being robbed or is held hostage is dangerous and it’s only a matter of time before there’s a tragic accident,” said Lieu April 16, whose Senate district includes Mar Vista, Marina del Rey and Venice, where many celebrities and high-profile Westsiders reside. His district has recently expanded to include wealthy enclaves such as Pacific Palisades, Brentwood and Beverly Hills. Lieu was unbowed after the incident at his home on moving the bill through the state Legislature. “What happened to me is why we need to increase the penalties on swatting,” he said. “We had police and fire deployed to our home for no good reason.” With summer approaching and a potential for fires and other emergencies, these phony calls can take away resources needed in an actual emergency, the senator added. “These firefighters, paramedics and police officers
would not have been able to respond to a real incident in the city,” Lieu noted. Singers Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber are some of the celebrities who have been victims of swatting. Actors Tom Cruise, Ashton Kutcher and others have also had police dispatched to their residences after bogus calls claiming that someone was in danger. “The reason that it’s called ‘swatting’ is because due to the nature of these prank calls, usually a 911 operator will send a SWAT team to the home,” Lieu explained. “The homeowner could have a gun or in some cases private security might respond, and you can see how a misunderstanding or miscommunication can lead to an unfortunate situation.” SWAT is an acronym for Special Weapons and Tactics for law enforcement units that use military-style maneuvers in high- risk situations. In December, a 12-yearold boy was charged with making untrue calls of incidents to several homes, including

Alleged rapist arrested by customs officers at LAX A 21-year-old man suspected of rape and unlawful sexual contact with a minor was arrested by authorities at Los Angeles International Airport as he attempted to board a plane to Japan on April 15. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Tyler Ross Fitzgerald was apprehended after officers confirmed that he was an exact match of an active arrest warrant for a suspect issued on March 14 by the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office in Portsmouth, OH.
CBP officers intercepted Fitzgerald prior to boarding the flight, took him into custody and turned him over to Los Angeles World Airports police, said CBP spokesman Jaime Ruiz. Fitzgerald was arrested and extradition to Ohio was initiated. Scioto County Sheriff Marty V. Donini expressed his gratitude to the agencies for the apprehension of Fitzgerald, saying the sheriff’s office has received complete cooperation during the investigation, Ruiz said.
“This interception illustrates yet again the great work CBP officers do behind the scenes every day, to keep bad people from entering the United States, as well as apprehend fugitives trying the flee the country and evade justice,” said Todd C. Owen, CBP director of field operations in Los Angeles. During fiscal year 2012, CBP officers in Los Angeles apprehended a total of 519 wanted criminals, including murderers, child molesters, drug traffickers and larceners.

The Santa Monica Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will hold an event to allow the public to dispose of expired, unused or unwanted prescription drugs. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 27 in front of the Santa Monica Police Department at 333 Olympic Drive. An officer will be available at the curb for visitors to drive up and drop off unused or unwanted prescription drugs, helping to prevent potential pill abuse. The
service is free, anonymous and no questions will be asked. Last September, Americans turned in 244 tons of prescription drugs at over 5,200 sites operated by the DEA and its thousands of state and local law enforcement partners. In its five previous “take-back events,” DEA and its partners took in over 2 million pounds - over a thousand tons of pills. Police note that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Studies show that a majority
of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash — both pose potential safety and health hazards. Local law enforcement agencies and the DEA will continue to hold prescription drug take-back events every few months.
Mar Vista woman to be inducted into Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame
HALL OF FAMER – Lisa Sanchez, who now lives in Mar Vista, was a three-time MVP as a guard on the California Lutheran University basketball team and was an Indiana state champion in high school.
Mar Vista resident Lisa Sanchez has been selected for induction into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame more than three decades after she led her high school team to the state championship. Sanchez, who currently operates a sports medicine and neuromuscular healing center in Los Angeles, is among a class of 11 women and men who make up the 12th Women’s Induction Class of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. The inductees are being honored for their significant contributions to Indiana high school basketball. Sanchez and the other honorees will be inducted into the hall of fame in New Castle during the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame’s Annual Women’s Awards Banquet Saturday, April 27. As Indiana Hall of Famers Sanchez and the others will join such basketball luminaries as legendary UCLA Coach John Wooden, NBA legend Larry Bird and San Antonio Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich. Each of the 2013 women’s class members has also left their mark with successful careers in college. Sanchez was inducted into the Ventura County Hall of Fame as an outstanding female athlete in 1984 after becoming a threetime MVP at California Lutheran University, where she set a record of 42 points in a game as a starting guard and averaged 20 points and nine steals per game.
In high school, she was a starting guard for the undefeated 1979 East Chicago Roosevelt state champions. During her senior year, the 5-foot-1 Sanchez averaged nearly 20 points and eight steals per game, was named team captain and was MVP in 1980. She also excelled in tennis, playing as the number-one seed on the men’s varsity team during her freshman year. Having suffered a severe
back injury as a basketball player and experienced the benefits of physical therapy, Sanchez was inspired to help other athletes heal. In 1986 she began a career in the fitness industry as a personal trainer with a focus on injury prevention, and she later started her own fitness business. She is the founder of Healing Path 3, a sports medicine and wellness clinic that specializes in spinal treatments and internal medicine.

Peace garden in memory of LMU professor’s son to be dedicated An interfaith peace garden created in the memory of a Loyola Marymount University professor’s son will be dedicated on the campus at 12:15 p.m. Thursday, April 25. The garden honors Avi Schaefer – the 21-year-old son of LMU Professor Arthur GrossSchaefer and his wife, Laurie – who was killed on Feb. 12, 2010 by a drunk driver. During his brief life, Avi Schaefer was deeply involved in the Jewish community in his hometown of Santa Barbara, say university officials. The memorial is comprised of stone pillars and benches with
quotes about peace etched on them. Rabbi Gross-Schaefer said the interfaith peace garden, located on the LMU campus adjacent to the Collins Faculty and Alumni Center, was created in honor his son’s life but also in part, to acknowledge the efforts of the Avi Schaefer Fund, which promotes civility and dialogue on college campuses. “Our family decided not to focus on how he died, which would move us to a place of anger and revenge, but rather to emphasize that he lived to promote peace and understanding,” he said.
Avi Schaefer moved to Israel at age 18 and served three years in the Israeli army, where he was selected as a member of a special-forces combat unit. However, despite his combat training, the young man believed there could be peace between the Israelis and Palestinians and believed that there should be open dialogue between the two groups to achieve peace, his father said. The Gross-Schaefer family hopes that the garden will become a place for faculty and students to gather for classes and to discuss peace.

New photography program begins at Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica The Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica has launched a new program to educate youths about the art and science of photography. The initiative is part of the National Photography Program, sponsored by Sony Electronics. The program includes the ImageMakers National Photography Contest, which has been held for over 50 years at Boys & Girls Clubs, and the photography category of Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Digital Arts Festivals. Sony is also providing photography equipment for Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica members to use during the program. The package includes several Sony point-and-shoot cameras, Sony interchangeable lens cameras and Sony VAIO computers, as well as a stipend to help offset printing and other photography-related costs, club officials said. The program seeks to engage youth to explore and build their skills in photography, digital arts
and self-expression. “We are pleased to offer a photography program at our club and know our club members will benefit greatly from the education and opportunities made possible through the National Photography Program and partnership with Sony Electronics,” said Aaron Young, club CEO and president. “We are grateful to Sony Electronics for their support in providing access to programs and tools in the area of photography to engage all young people in the arts.” The ImageMakers National Photography time and under Contest invites youth ages 6-18 to capture photographs in four different categories: culture and tradition, surroundings, portraits and photo with essay or poem. Club youth complete projects that compete in regional Boys & Girls Clubs of America art shows. Regional winners then go on to compete for national recognition and additional education opportunities.

Past honorees have included actors Martin Sheen and David Arquette, former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda, and Steven Hilton of the Conrad N.

By honoring a business leader like Joan and a longtime public servant like Mike we’re also showing that together the solution to homelessness and poverty is truly public/private collaboration.”

The award recognizes and honors law enforcement professionals who are committed to the community they serve. According to the organization, Utsey was recognized for her selfless dedication and commitment to serving and empowering members of the community.

Utsey earned a bachelor’s degree from the International School of Ministry Vision University. When off-duty, Utsey volunteers her time at the Santa Ana and Theo Lacy Jails where she mentors, encourages and inspires prison inmates hoping for a better future.

Realtors launch scholarship fund through Boys & Girls Club of Venice Two Marina del Rey Realtors have established a scholarship fund that is administered through the Boys & Girls Club of Venice to support students pursuing an education through trade school, junior college or university. Realtors Debra Berman and Pat Kandel have launched the Ruth Wells Scholarship to honor Kandel’s mother, Ruth Wells, who passed away at age 96 in January. “My mother was a longtime Westchester resident and a devoted volunteer for the Boys & Girls Club of Venice,” says Kandel. “Deb and I feel the scholarship honors her memory by furthering the mission of the Boys & Girls Club, ‘to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.’ These
scholarships will bring ‘full potential’ even closer for five students each year.” Berman noted that they have already raised $7,000 toward the fund. “We anticipate that contributions will sustain and expand the fund as Pat and I review the applications and interview applicants. We are so excited to meet these young people and are deeply grateful to those who have contributed,” Berman said. Named among the Top 200 Real Estate Teams in the Nation by the Wall Street Journal, Berman and Kandel have represented home sellers and buyers in Marina del Rey, Playa del Rey, Santa Monica, Westchester, Culver City, Mar Vista and Venice since they established their partnership in 1985.

On Sunday, June 13, 2010, just before 2:00 a.m., 21-year old Michael McGuire was standing on the sidewalk on the 2400 block of Luella Avenue, in Venice, when a dark SUV drove by. An occupant of the vehicle fired several shots, fatally wounding Mr. McGuire, and grazing another victim who was standing with him. The vehicle then fled the location. There were two different parties taking place on the same street in close proximity of the crime scene. One of the parties was a Venice High after prom party. Detectives are attempting to locate witnesses to this crime, or anyone who could have seen the suspect’s vehicle. One witness description identified the suspect as a possible male Hispanic wearing a hooded sweat shirt, dark sunglasses, and a dark bandanna over his face. Detectives hope that a monetary reward compels the public to provide more information. The person or persons responsible for this crime represent an ongoing threat to the safety of the people of Los Angeles. Unless withdrawn or paid by City Council action, this offer of reward shall terminate on, and have no effect after, OCTOBER 22, 2013. The provisions of payment and all other considerations shall be governed by Chapter 12 of Division 19 of the LAAC Code, as amended by Ordinance Nos. 158157 and 166666. This offer shall be given upon the condition that all claimants provide continued cooperation within the criminal justice system relative to this case and is not available to public officers or employees of the City, their families, persons in law enforcement or persons whose misconduct prompted this reward. If you have any information regarding this case, please call the Los Angeles Police Department at 1-877-LAWFULL, 24 hours. C. F. No. 10-0010-s30 4/25/13 CNS-2475603# THE ARGONAUT
