L etter s Don’t Put All the Homeless Housing in Venice Re: “Venice May Get Temporary Homeless Housing,” News, May 24 We all know the homeless problem needs to be solved, and Venice in particular has taken the brunt of a large homeless population that has been out of control for years. Most of us want to help those who are down on their luck through no fault of their own. The question is, however, do we really need to build apartments for them at an average cost of $475,000 and on a huge, valuable piece of land at the former Metro bus yard that is one block from the beach?

Another question: Should the majority of the homeless in Venice be housed in Venice?

More than 160 of the 222 Proposition HHH housing units that L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin has pledged to build in District 11 are in Venice (Metro Bus Yard, Venice Median and Thatcher Yard). NIMBY sentiment might not be so prevalent if the homeless were at least dispersed fairly across the entire council district or, even better,

across the city or county according to a percentage of each area’s population.

I’m sure many Venice homeless would complain if they were located elsewhere, but they should be happy to be given a place to live no matter where it is. It’s not like they have to worry about living close to where they work. I have lived in places I did not wish to live, but that was all I could afford. After working hard for many years, saving and sacrificing, I was finally able to buy a small home in Venice. If the homeless accept housing help and services, they too will have the opportunity to improve their lives and move to a place they can afford.

If you relate to any of this, consider joining Fight Back Venice or the Oxford Triangle Association.

Staving Off Scootergeddon

Santa Monica enacts new regulations for increasingly ubiquitous Bird and Lime scooters

PAGE 6 THE ARGONAUT June 14, 2018

Photo by David Comden

By Gary Walker In an attempt to balance the burgeoning popularity of graband-go electric scooters with widespread concern about public safety and obstruction of sidewalks, the Santa Monica City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to regulate the number and distribution of shared mobility devices throughout the city and more quickly address complaints.

Electric scooters deployed throughout the Westside by Venice-based Bird and now San Mateo-based competitor Lime are locked and unlocked via a smartphone app and thus can be picked up or dropped off anywhere, a convenience often abused by users who leave them blocking the public right of way.

After an intense four-hour discussion, council members adopted a 16-month city pilot program, beginning Sept. 17, that will require “dockless” electric scooter and bicycle operators to develop remedies for improper parking — including incentivized pick-up and drop-off zones — increase user safety education, establish a 24-hour public complaint hotline and distribute devices more equitably throughout the city.

They chose not to place a hard cap on the number of vehicles an operator can deploy, opting instead for a “dynamic cap” based on usage — three times a day for scooters and twice daily for bicycles, measured by realtime utilization data that operators must share with the city.

“This pilot approach will allow us to understand usage and operations in order to create a longterm program that establishes a safe, equitable and sustainable mobility option in Santa Monica,” said Santa Monica Mayor Ted Winterer.

Acknowledging the city’s long-standing support for alternative transportation innovations, Winterer also asked that operators survey riders about what modes of transportation they abandoned in favor of electric scooters or bikes.

“I think it might be nice to have that data, especially if we find out that people are giving up their cars for these scooters,” he said.

The new rules allow up to two electric scooter operators and two

Rows of freshly charged Bird and Lime scooters line Abbot Kinney Boulevard, but where riders will leave them is anybody’s guess electric bicycle operators to deploy vehicles within city limits, but operators must pay an annual permit fee of $20,000 plus $130 per scooter or bicycle.

Mayor Pro Tem Gleam Davis noted that the scooters have become ubiquitous throughout Santa Monica so rapidly that it took city officials by surprise.

“I have never seen anything that has become so popular in such a short time. For us as lawmakers it’s about embracing the change and managing it in way that keeps everyone safe,” Davis said.

“Technology often moves faster than government … and we’re trying to adapt to new technology and see how we can regulate it.”

Bird landed in Santa Monica in September, and in February the company agreed to pay more than $300,000 in fines after the city brought criminal charges for failure to obtain a business license and vendor permit. News reports have since estimated the company’s value at more than $1 billion.

“Bird has not been perfect.

There’s some real history here and we need to clean that up,” said Bird Chief Legal Officer David Estrada, who told the city that on any given day Bird now has more than 1,500 scooters operating in Santa Monica.

Estrada and Lime Director of Strategic Development Sam Sadle argued against a city staff recommendation for hard numeric electric scooter and bicycle caps, which the council ultimately traded for the “dynamic” usagebased caps.

“We think it’s best when the free market creates a competitive marketplace,” Sadle said.

More than 40 people spoke out against or in favor of electric scooters during the council meeting — supporters celebrating them as a fun and inexpensive alternative to car trips, opponents complaining of users riding illegally and often recklessly on city sidewalks.

“I’ve been almost hit twice by [people riding] these scooters,” said Santa Monica homeowner Joseph Moran. “What are you going to do about protecting the public right of way?”

Santa Monica-based personal injury attorney Catherine Lerer said her law firm has received between two and three dozen calls seeking help from pedestrians who have been injured by people riding Bird scooters.

Because it is difficult to identify the riders, short of taking a photograph of the accident, Lerer said victims are often left without any recompense.

“We have people calling us who have been involved in hit-and-run accidents with Bird scooters.

Who’s going to compensate these victims?” she asked.

Estrada told council members that Bird is willing to work with the city to improve safety by using geo-location technology to discourage users from riding on sidewalks.

Cris Gutierrez, a co-chair of the environmental group Climate Action, said regulating rather (Continued on page 31)

Venice Bridge Housing FAQ Mayor Garcetti responds to concerns about temporary homeless housing at the former Metro lot

For the first time in several years, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti was able to announce a decrease in homeless throughout Los Angeles 1. Why is it almost always Venice, and almost never other Westside neighborhoods, that must accommodate new housing and services for the homeless?

Garcetti: The mayor’s office is calling on all council districts to facilitate bridge housing where it’s needed most: “We have to build housing where people are.

These are their neighborhoods, where they have friends and possibly even work.

People need to know that these facilities will be neighborhood-specific.”

Neighborhood activist and Main Street resident Jim Murez: “At present, in all of West L.A. only the Metro site is up for consideration. The 13-acre site at the West LA Municipal Center [1645 Corinth Ave.] … has LAPD and LAFD on site along with over 30,000 square feet of offices in the Council District 11 field office building. This site is zoned for high-density residential housing all around the parking lot area, and the existing abandoned West Los Angeles Courthouse building (about 40,000 square feet) only needs to be renovated to become permanent supportive hous-

ing. Why not put the temporary shelter housing there?”

2. There are 854 unsheltered homeless people in Venice, so is a bridge housing facility with a capacity of 100 going to be used as justification for pushing the rest of the homeless out of the area?

Garcetti: Studies show that occupants of bridge housing find other housing in as little as four months, so there’ll be a lot of turnover: “Instead of just housing 100 people, those beds could turn over two or three times within three years, so it could be 250 or 300 people in each of these bridge housing facilities.”

While city funds have been set aside to clean up former encampments after their occupants find housing, don’t expect city workers to immediately clear them out: “No area will be cleared until there are beds that are available. We plan to do outreach at the encampments before any of these areas are cleared and direct them to other shelters or to bridge housing.

Our goal is to get as many people in housing before we begin to clear any of

the encampments, including the encampment on Third Avenue.”

Homeless Advocate David Busch: When bridge housing occupants find long-term housing outside of Venice and the lot is redeveloped into a mix of affordable and market-rate housing, Venice will only continue to homogenize and gentrify: “Venice is world-renowned for its artists and street people who have slept on the beach and lived on the streets for decades.

I think there are a lot of people who are going to appreciate the offer of shelter. But I also think there will be others that see this as closing the door … If you’re an artist on the Venice Boardwalk, how are you going to afford an apartment in Venice? For people who love the cultural diversity and traditions of Venice, it is going to shut the door.”

3. Is anybody who questions or opposes homeless resources in Venice just going to be written off as a NIMBY? Garcetti: “The loudest voices and the people who are the toughest sells often get the most attention, but sometimes they have legitimate concerns and they want answers. … So not everyone is a NIMBY, and we have to do our best to address everyone’s concerns.

“Change is hard. It’s never easy and it takes time. But I’m committed to getting Angelenos off the streets and into permanent supportive housing. We moved over 16,000 people into housing last year, and we need to accelerate that pace even more.

The way to solve homelessness is to build more housing.”

Oxford Triangle Resident Association member Mark Shockley: Writing off opposition as NIMBY “paints everyone with one brush and assumes we are not for public housing. I’m for affordable housing when it’s equally and equitably distributed across the city.” gary@argonautnews.com

The city’s June 1 announcement that the former Metro bus depot at Main Street and Sunset Avenue would become temporary homeless housing by as early as December has raised a number of concerns among Venice residents, as local land-use decisions often do.

The 3.15-acre lot is already slated for the development of permanent supportive housing, so would serve as temporary (or “bridge”) housing for only about three years, officials say. The facility would include 24/7 access for residents with on-site security and supportive services, restrooms and showers, access to food, and space to store belongings.

Like the highly publicized temporary housing facility coming to a parking lot in Koreatown, Venice’s bridge housing is part of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s $20-million “A Bridge Home” initiative, which also provides funds for participating neighborhoods to clean up former homeless encampments.

In 2015, Garcetti and the Los Angeles City Council pledged $100 million toward homeless assistance, and the 2016-17 budget incorporated $138-million to address homelessness. Garcetti also pushed hard for the passage of Proposition HHH in 2016 and county Measure H in 2017, expected to fund 10,000 affordable housing units and $355 million annually for homeless services over the next decade.

Garcetti spoke with reporter Gary Walker on Friday to discuss the Venice bridge housing plan and some of the anxieties neighbors have about it — including a homeless activist’s concerns that bridge housing could criminalize the homeless who do not participate, and a longtime homeowner’s concerns that infrastructure serving the homeless seems to be inordinately concentrated in Venice.

Locals were also given the chance to respond to Garcetti’s remarks.

A Happy Report Card for Mother’s Beach Heal the Bay notes tremendous water quality improvements

By Gary Walker Water quality at Mother’s Beach hasn’t been much to write home about the past few summers. With limited water circulation deep in the enclosure of Marina del Rey harbor’s D basin, pollution from birds and boats and storm runoff kept it on Heal the Bay’s “Beach Bummers” list of the most polluted beaches in the state since 2013.

This year, however, Mother’s Beach brought home an A on the nonprofit’s annual Beach Report Card — representing one of the biggest water quality turnarounds in the state.

“We’re very thrilled with the news,” Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors spokeswoman Nicole Mooradian said. “We haven’t done anything drastic this year, so we’re really not sure why we did so well.”

County officials have said for years that bird guano contributed heavily to the previous poor water quality grades, as well as a lack of natural circulation because Mother’s Beach is in the back of the bay. But the county has since added additional wiring to discourage birds from hanging around so much, and an

ee ion Fr iss king m ar l Ad P ua e nn e A h Fr 7t 5

Mother’s Beach water quality jumped from an F to an A underground water circulation pump that had broken down has been in good working order for two years now.

“There’s also new sand, and we’re grooming it with cleaner sand now,” Mooradian said. “The sun can actually sanitize it.”

L.A. County Supervisor Janice Hahn,

whose district includes Marina del Rey, also cited the new wiring to discourage loitering birds as a contributor to the improved water quality at Mother’s Beach.

“The cleaner water we have seen over this last year is welcome good news and might be a sign that our investments are

working. We need to continue monitoring the water quality at Mother’s Beach and implementing water quality projects that protect the health and safety of both beachgoers and the natural environment,” Hahn said.

Meanwhile, the county has also been investing in new picnic pavilions, an upgraded promenade and renovated restrooms for Mother’s Beach. These improvements will debut when the beach reopens on June 28.

Statewide, the Beach Report Card shows improvements for most of the state’s beaches in both dry and wet weather conditions. A record 37 beaches made the annual report’s Honor Roll this year, meeting the highest water quality standards.

“We’re excited about the numbers — especially at Marina Beach — and we hope to keep that list growing,” said Karen Vu, a beach quality analyst with Heal the Bay. Expanded storm runoff capture measures, infrequent rainfall, numerous beach cleanup efforts and local governments taking water quality more seriously are key factors behind this year’s good grades, Vu said.

Hanks Does Shakespeare 1

The West L.A. VA hosts a star-studded run of “Henry IV” that helps veterans find careers in the arts

By Christina Campodonico The stars sparkled last Friday in the premiere of the Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles’ production of “Henry IV” in the Japanese Garden of the West Los Angeles VA campus.

Joe Morton, better known as the devious Papa Pope on ABC’s dearly departed “Scandal,” played the title role with the same verbal force and regal majesty. “The New Adventures of Old Christine” alum Hamish Linklater imbued prodigal son Prince Hal with a boyishly anxious charm.

And Academy Award winner Tom Hanks — donning a fat suit and a Gandalfian gray hairpiece — shined as Sir John Falstaff, the loveable and rotund rogue of Shakespearean lore, in his L.A. stage debut directed by Tony Award-winning director Daniel Sullivan.

“For a lot of people, it wouldn’t be the role you would think of when you think of Tom Hanks,” Sullivan said over the phone on his way to an onstage rehearsal two weeks ago. “But he’s taken to it delightfully.”

L.A. critics agree. “A Falstaff for the ages” enthused Entertainment Weekly.

“Worthy of applause all around,” wrote the Los Angeles Times, “… theatergoers PAGE 10 THE ARGONAUT June 14, 2018

seemed rapt by this Shakespearean vision, animated by acting royalty.”

Indeed, watching Hanks turn from bumbling drunkard to forlorn fatherly figure over the course of a star-studded evening was like watching a master class

Services office of the VA brings in professionals to train veterans in the technical side of theater arts and helps them transition into full-time, civilian work. “Henry IV” marks the return of the program to the West L.A. VA campus after

“We want to do our work where it makes a difference — not just do our work and make it aesthetically beautiful.”

— Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles founder Ben Donenberg in Shakespearean acting. Henry IV may be king, but Hanks’ Falstaff is the ruler of this production.

Supporting his star power were a towering set of arches, a freshly manicured slope to serve as backdrop and a sturdy peninsula stage that was built, landscaped and assembled by 34 veterans in the Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles’ Veterans in Art program.

a four-year hiatus, during which the program relocated to Santa Monica College, where vets can still enroll in technical theater courses underwritten by SCLA and participate in apprenticeships and productions there.

But SCLA founder and artistic director Ben Donenberg says the roots of the center’s work with veterans stretch back even further — to the company’s early theatrical work with disadvantaged youth who’d often enlist in the armed services, and its on-again off-again relationship with the VA over 30-plus years.

“It started, really, in 2008,” says Donenberg of the center’s current relationship with the VA. “We had a couple of champions who really loved Shakespeare and loved veterans and understood the power of immersing veterans in an art project.”

Among those champions he lists the late U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge and World War II veteran Harry Pregerson, Vietnam War vet Jay Morales, production services vendors that have donated labor and equipment to “Henry IV,” and more broadly Hanks and his wife, actress Rita Wilson.

Hanks and Wilson have been fervent supporters of the center and its causes ever since SCLA precursor Shakespeare Festival L.A. cast Wilson in the late 1980s, and they’ve hosted its annual Simply Shakespeare benefit — a reading of Shakespeare with a celebrity cast and live music — since 1990. But for this year, it was Hanks who suggested putting on a fully staged production instead.

“Tom is a great actor and company member,” says Donenberg. “He has a wonderful generosity of spirit that inspires everyone to bring their best game to the endeavor.”

*** Former Marines radio operator Shawn McKelvey came to L.A. to become an actor after being discharged and joining the Veterans Retraining Assistance Program.

“You had to take classes … and one of the things was acting classes. I was like, ‘This is crazy. You’re going to send me to L.A. to go take acting classes?” McKelvey says during a break in set construction during my visit to the Japanese Garden in late May. “So I came to L.A. to be an actor, to be a movie star.”

That career path didn’t quite work out as planned, so McKelvey took classes in stagecraft through SCLA’s 2016 summer theater program for vets at Santa Monica College, where he learned how to run lights for productions of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Twelfth Night.”

With that experience and connections he’s made by working on “Henry IV,” McKelvey now has his sights set on joining a concert tour as a crew member or stagehand.

“I’ve met guys here, specifically the rigging guys. They’re on the road with bands all the time, and I could actually get into the KISS tour starting next year

for 18 months going around the world,” he says. “It sounds far-fetched, but the guy was like, ‘No, you can really do that.’ That is looking more and more like my path, I think.”

“It’s amazing — and not just like in a groovy kind of way,” says McKelvey, “but to see the power that the guy has to attract attention and, frankly, money to the whole thing. It’s a real testament to star power. It really changes everything.

She brightens up when I mention Hanks, one of her favorite actors.

“I’m excited to meet him. We’re going to do a meet-and-greet to get our picture taken with him,” she says, rattling off a few of her favorite Hanks movies,

including “Big” and “Splash.”

“He’s really funny. He’s got great timing,” she says, getting back to painting.

Like life in the military, there’s little time for dilly-dallying at this active construction site led by foreman Chad Rowlett, a Navy veteran who runs a tight ship. ​“I give the guys a plan today and they accept that mission and complete that mission. Simple as that,” says Rowlett, who was a builder in the Navy. “Our motto was ‘We build. We fight.’”

As site leader, Rowlett taps that “can do” spirit to get things done — though he doesn’t have to do much to motivate this crew, he says, because of their shared military training and experience. ​“This group of guys already has that in them, since we’re all veterans. From day one we already have that brotherhood and that camaraderie, so it’s real easy for these guys to take orders and give orders. So it makes things very smooth. There’s no arguing, there’s no fighting. You tell these guys to attack a hill, they’ll attack that hill and they’ll get it done,” he says. “We’ve done everything from landscaping to plumbing to building new handicap-accessible walkways.”

1969 photographs of Mick Jagger and Janis Joplin are among the highlights of Friedman’s collection

’60s Rock Time Capsule Every picture in this rediscovered photo collection really does tell a story — like Kris Kristofferson partying with Dean Martin, or Janis Joplin in a Hells Angels brawl

By Andy Vasoyan A lot of people have interesting photos sitting in their attic, but Michael Friedman’s rediscovered collection is truly special. Sure, it’s just some pictures of his friends and colleagues from the late 1960s and early ’70s, but it just so happens that his circle included people like Janis Joplin, The Rolling Stones, Rita Coolidge and Kris Kristofferson.

The former music manager and producer was in his mid-twenties when he took these photographs, already working with big names in the chaotic, intoxicated rock scene of the era. Friedman was taking pictures as something of a lark: no one was paying him to shoot, and he wasn’t a professional (although a picture of Mick Jagger he sent as a Christmas present got used in a book on the Stones). When the roughly 1,500 photo negatives he had saved disappeared, Friedman was understandably miffed, but there wasn’t much else to do.

Forty five years after their disappearance, as the gods of rock would have it, Friedman’s wife found them in the attic.

Friedman developed the negatives, and

interesting dimensions of these artists, and many come with some great stories.

A picture of Janis Joplin clutching a mic, singing and squinting gets a new layer of

“One of the Hells Angels girls had a bottle of whiskey, and Janis asked for some. The girl said something obscene to her and punched her in the face, and Janis punched her back.”

— Michael Friedman now they’re on the walls of the California Heritage Museum in Ocean Park.

“Rock & Roll Legends: The Lost Negatives of Michael Freeman” remains on display through July 15, after which the photos will be archived.

The black-and-white pictures capture

meaning when told it was taken just after a fistfight at a fundraiser for the Hells Angels.

Joplin was dating a member of the Hells Angels at the time, and as Friedman tells it, “one of the Hells Angels girls had a bottle of whiskey, and Janis

asked for some. The girl said something obscene to her and punched her in the face, and Janis punched her back, and they ended up on the ground beating each other up.”

Their gentlemen escorts subsequently whipped out knives and circled each other as the onlookers called for blood, though the scene ended peacefully with a hug (and preceded a man and a woman stripping and fornicating on stage).

Friedman’s photo of Kris Kristofferson singing to Rita Coolidge was taken in their dressing room at “The Dean Martin Show,” just before Friedman delivered news that he had unintentionally gotten them all booted off over an attempt to nix a sketch that had Kristofferson lampooning and manhandling a little person.

“We start packing up our stuff,” Friedman recalls, “and we get a knock at the door. It’s Dean Martin with a bottle of (Continued on page 14)

whiskey.” Martin and Kristofferson, after a failed attempt to go to Pink’s for hotdogs, “have about five drinks each, and they’re kidding around and having a great time, and Dean says, ‘Come upstairs. Don’t worry about it. Let’s tape this show.’”

With pictures also including members of The Rolling Stones and The Band, Friedman says that finding the trove has been a wonder.

“It’s been really fun to go through this process and remember all the memories, being brought right back to the moment,” he says. “It was that time in history that was very unpredictable, as to what could come next, even with the artists themselves.”

The most obvious example of unpredictability would be Joplin, but Friedman also says the photos capture another side of her.

“The pictures I took of Janis, I took them as I saw her. That was the Janis that I knew. To me, she was lovely and terrific,” Friedman says. “That picture — and the rest — have a fly-on-the-wall quality. It’s just a different way to see these artists.”

Wholesome Goodness Let Mr. Rogers and Flower Child nourish your mind, body and soul

By Angela Matano If Roger Ebert was correct in his assessment “that movies are like a machine that generates empathy,” there couldn’t be a better moment for cinema to exert its power. Characterfocused documentaries are coming fast and furious this year, a cultural moment in which empathy is at a premium.

Pictures focusing on MLK, RBG (Ruth Bader Ginsberg), Whitney Houston, Gilda Radner, the Pope and Jean-Michel Basquiat privilege the audience with an inside look into another’s psyche. A privilege indeed.

If Trump is the epitome of a certain kind of person — I’ll let you elucidate the adjective — Fred Rogers, aka Mr. Rogers, must surely be his elemental opposite, like a proton is the absolute polar opposite of an electron. In the new documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor,” director Morgan Neville captures the essence of a man who came to epitomize human kindness.

From his unassuming beginning as a minister and then puppeteer, Fred Rogers turned his children’s TV show, “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” into a surprise smash hit. The film explores the rise of the world of Make-Believe, populated with now iconic characters like Daniel Striped Tiger and Lady Elaine Fairchilde.

The radical tenderheartedness Rogers brought to the world through television, a medium he ironically despised, is aptly depicted in a scene where he testifies before Sen. John O. Pastore in 1969 about the importance of government funding for public television.

The skeptical Rhode Island senator seems to melt into a figurative puddle right before our eyes as Rogers talks about his attempt to give “an expression of care every day to each child to help him realize he is unique.” And just like that, the senator signals his support for $20 million in funding.

If Mr. Rogers cared as much for nutrition as he did for children, he would certainly approve of Flower Child. This Santa Monica restaurant is “on a simple, soul-satisfying mission

Farm-fresh veggies and lean proteins harken back to a simpler time to spread positively delicious vibes and healthy food … to take you to a happy place.”

The bright and airy space trumpets a menu full of homemade, farm-fresh ingredients and catering to all sorts of diets, allergies and food preferences, from paleo and vegan to glutenfree. Best of all, the food at Flower Child fills you up without being too heavy, a Platonic nourishment ideal we all aspire to.

The menu features salads, bowls and wraps, with lots of options for substitutions and additions, letting you make of your meal what you will. The Forbidden Rice bowl comes with black pearl, red japonica, snap pea, bok choy, broccoli, carrot, onion, toasted sesame and red chili hoisin. For $6 more you can add shaved chicken or beef. Salmon and tofu also show up as potential additions.

The vibrant flavors in the salad vinaigrettes, from harissa yogurt to spicy lemongrass, bring your average bed of greens up a notch, and the liberal use of toppings like dried mulberries, pickled onions and pistachios keep these healthy choices from slipping

into the category of boring.

Flower Child actually serves a nice variety of wine and beer, like Saint Archer’s White Ale — a welcome surprise for a health food joint. If you’re feeling too virtuous for alcohol, try the on-tap kombucha, served charmingly in a mason jar. If you haven’t jumped on the kombucha bandwagon yet, why not give it a try? The purported benefits of the fermented tea include probiotics for improved gut functioning, something Mr. Rogers would certainly approve of.

In our modern world (or are we postmodern now?) where feelings are not “mentionable and manageable,” as Fred Rogers taught us, but rather eminently Tweetable, as Donald Trump schools us, give yourself a time-out. After all, it’s looking more and more like nice guys do finish last.

“Won’t You Be My Neighbor” is now playing at The Landmark in Westside Pavilion, 10850 Pico Blvd., West L.A. (310) 470-0492; landmarktheatres.com Flower Child is at 1332 2nd St., Santa Monica. (310) 382-2901; Iamaflowerchild.com June 14, 2018 THE ARGONAUT PAGE 15

Chaya Gets Modern After 28 years on the fine dining scene, a Venice institution shifts to serving shareable small plates in a more casual setting

By Audrey Cleo Yap Chaya Modern Izakaya 110 Navy St., Venice (310) 396-1179 thechaya.com

Reboots are all the rage in television and the movies lately, and now the trend seems to have hit one of the Westside’s fine dining mainstays. For almost three decades, Chaya Venice has been serving up Euro-Japanese fusion fare to beachside locals. But late last month, the 28-year-old establishment got a new name — Chaya Modern Izakaya — and with it, a new menu.

“We emphasize the izakaya aspect because we want people to have fun. It’s more for the atmosphere,” said Chaya President and CEO Yuta Tsunoda. “It’s an eatery. It’s not a place you have to take three hours for a meal and wear a jacket.”

Led by a team of three chefs —Yuko Kajino, Joji Inoue and Katsuyuki Wako — Chaya’s offerings now include more shareable hot and cold small plates against a sleek, laidback “izakaya,” or casual Japanese bar-like, setting.

Dishes like ramen soaked in reposado tequila and steamed clams with deepfried agedashi tofu in Chinese shaoxing wine are offered alongside staples from the old menu, like soy-glazed black cod, saffron paella and the famous spicy tuna tartare — a dish invented at its Beverly Hills location, Chaya Brasserie, in 1984.

Chaya first introduced its unique Japanese-French flavor to Angelenos with the brasserie and La Petite Chaya in Silver Lake (both have since closed). Its Venice outpost opened in 1990.

And what, ostensibly, seems like an overnight revamp has, actually, been years in the making, first initiated three years ago when Chaya’s longtime corporate executive chef, Shigefumi

The Chaya reboot serves grilled octopus with yuzu tamari, manila clams in green garlic broth and other small plates in a bar-like setting Tachibe, left the building. His departure allowed Tsunoda and the team a chance to begin thinking about evolving the menu.

The 100-seat space also got an interior facelift in 2016, with a two-week renovation that added a more contempo-

“We emphasize the izakaya aspect because we want people to have fun.”

— Chaya President Yuta Tsunoda “For 28 years, our chef did a wonderful job, and we couldn’t change a menu item because local customers and regulars loved it so much,” said Tsunoda.

rary feel to the already-upscale digs.

But transitioning longtime patrons to a new menu hasn’t been an easy process, according to General Manager Joe Ando.

“You have regulars that have been coming here for 28 years, so it’s been a very delicate process. I have to be delicate about it,” he said.

To help, Ando said that over the past year-and-a-half, Chaya has gradually replaced old menu items with similar-butnew ones, e.g. substituting an old starch dish with a new starch one.

The reboot extends to drinks as well. A new menu crafted with the help of bar consultant and mixologist Feisser Stone includes cleverly monikered libations like the Son of a Beesting (gin, ginger, honey, lemon, lavender) and the Far East Side (tequila, sake, cucumber, shiso, lime), in addition to a selection of high-end sakes, beer and wine.

A chef-facing counter area means patrons can also opt for a nightly prix fixe menu crafted by one of the three chefs (it will change depending on who is at the helm). It’s Chaya’s version of a kaiseki or omakase — chef’s choice — experience, and a chance for the chefs themselves to showcase California ingredients, whether it’s seasonal produce or a fresh catch from waters near Santa Barbara.

“It’s a playground for the chefs so they can educate all of us,” said Tsunoda, adding that a five-course meal will cost about $65.

Tsunoda also said that the days of large main dishes with hefty proteins are gone as diners seek a range of dynamic flavors in smaller portions. And he thinks it will be the variety that will keep them coming back, over and over again.

“They don’t have to spend an abundance of money and can try so many different things and drink,” he said. “That’s really what izakaya means — being more approachable and wanting people to come back two or three times a week.”

Los AngeLes Times sundAy Crossword PuzzLe “STRAIGHT A’S” By VICTOR BAROCAS

Paint and Suffering I’m doing some work on my landlady’s house. She just cannot figure out what color to paint it. Now, when a man paints his house, he goes to Home Depot, grabs a few cans of paint, and starts right in. Simple. Git ‘er done. Not so with a woman. She’ll agonize endlessly over a bunch of paint chips.

She’ll finally make a decision, but even then, it’s subject to change without notice. So, my question: Has anyone analyzed this phenomenon and found a connection with, you know, a woman’s “time of the month”?

— Handydude Some people are just irritating. It doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with their ovaries.

Women’s house paint preferences, sadly, have not been a prolific area of scientific study. However, there was a bunch of research suggesting that women’s mate preferences shift with their hormone levels during the menstrual cycle — for example, findings that women went for more masculine faces in the fertile phase of their cycle. But there was a problem. These studies had too-small sample sizes and other methodological shortcomings, which can lead to false positives. When psychologist Benedict Jones and his colleagues ran a big long-term study to check these findings — using more rigorous methodology — they found “no compelling evidence that preferences for facial masculinity track changes in women’s hormonal status.”

However, there do seem to be sex differences in decision-making. These differences emerge before the menstruation years, note neurobiologist Ruud van den Bos and his colleagues

(referencing others’ research on 7-to-9-year-old children). Their own research finds that men and women show “small but consistent differences in decision-making” that appear related to sex differences in the brain —both in terms of information-processing and emotion regulation. Women appear to be “more sensitive” to potential losses (effects of bad choices), which, in turn, might make an individual woman more hesitant to settle on a choice. (No choose, no lose!)

The truth is, there are times when we all have difficulty making a choice.

Psychologist Barry Schwartz explains that we (men and women) are driven to protect ourselves from regret — the pain of blaming ourselves for making the wrong choice. Fear of regret makes choosing especially challenging when we have a bunch of options without meaningful differences, like eight slightly different shades of off-white house paint: “Crème Fraîche? ‘Coastal Ivory’? Maybe ‘Breezy Linen’? …”

As for your observation about the chop-chop way men choose a paint color, consider that maybe the average dude — one who isn’t an architect, a decorator, or a design connoisseur — might not be so picky about the color of his house. If you want to help your landlady, get some techie friend of yours to Photoshop each color onto the house so the final result is less abstract.

Suggest she invite friends over for cocktails to help her choose. This isn’t just a social occasion; it’s a regret-minimization tactic allowing her to disperse the blame for any grim post-painting epiphanies, such as “Ugh. ‘Tuscan Yellow’ … or, as we call it in the States, ‘Three-Day-Old Urine Sample.’”

When the Going Gets Tufted I’m not a very hairy guy — except in the armpit area. I’ve seen articles recently saying men should shave their armpit hair. Really? Do women go for this, or (sorry!) do they maybe think you’re gay?

torso or back, then try not to display it in public.”

In the armpit hair arena, when psychologist Michael S. Boroughs surveyed 18-to-44-year-old American men, he found that 40% did some manscaping.

Of these men, 62% just “reduced” the hair, and 38% removed it. (He didn’t separate out sexual preference, but I Your body hair should not tell a story — like that Fidel Castro and Osama bin would guess a good chunk of those balding their pits were gay men.)

Prune Gareth Terry, in a 2016 paper exploring attitudes about male body hair removal, the hair down to an inch or half-inch or so (making it look short and neat but found that gay, straight, and bisexual not like you went to some armpit men and women saw male body hair as masculine and “natural” … to a point coiffure place). As a guideline, there’s this: If you’re taking a woman to a — the point at which they found it forested area, it should require a trip by “excessive” and thus disgusting.
