Letters Book exposes hard truths

Re: “Forget it Bruce, it’s Marina del Rey,” This Week, May 29 Bruce Russell’s new book “Chinatown County — The Sell-Out of Marina del Rey” details the history of corruption involving Marina del Rey from its inception to today.

The author has an illustrious career as a reporter. The Marina’s story begins in the 1950s, and the shysters who would corrupt the project are well documented in the newspapers, including this one, by great reporting. But in the mid-‘90s, the media’s light began to dim because of economic factors. And most residents of the county and of Marina del Rey did not have a clue what was happening.

What was happening was the county began not enforcing its ordinances about protecting scenic views, traffic density and special funds for recreational parks. The county and developers got bolder and bolder in flouting their laws as the press turned a blind eye. About ten years after this, we began to notice that the state evidenced the same

disrespect for the rule of law, and now it has spread to the federal government after the L.A. County Board of Supervisors held their meeting in Washington, D.C., and pressured HUD to support expensive housing in Marina del Rey. Russell’s important book is not just about MdR, it is a warning that what happened to us may happen to Yosemite Valley and is happening today to the rule of law.

Plan doesn’t map out

Re: “Boaters assail plan to move public launch,” News, June 5 According to Los Angeles County Supervising Regional Planner Natoli, the public boat launch in Marina del Rey cannot remain where it is because it would impact the creation of a retail district.

How, then, does she explain the fact that two seven-story hotel buildings of glass and steel will be placed in the heart of what’s being called the residential district?

Hotels are commercial, not

residential, even if they are called “Marriott Courtyard Residence.”

And this one with restaurant and bar will impact the highrent apartments along Tahiti Way east of Via Marina and the condominiums immediately in front of the hotel, which have recently been refurbished at tremendous cost to each owner.

Clearly this hotel is to be a hangout for the yachts that will pull up to its new docks. Via Marina already has two great restaurants with bars, and there are five classy hotels along

Admiralty Way. Last time I looked, Mariners Village was residential, too, and redevelopment plans for Mariners Village should not include retail.

It’s time that the county listen to those who use the marina for its stated purpose of recreation and boating and to those of us who live here, pay taxes and support local businesses.

Dr. Soccer

After four stints as team doctor for U.S. World Cup teams, Santa Monica’s Bert Mandelbaum is in Brazil as medical director for FIFA

Santa Monica’s Bert Mandelbaum, team doctor for the L.A. Galaxy, leads FIFA’s World Cup medical team in Brazil

By Gary Walker A Santa Monica orthopedic physician who for several years was responsible for keeping members of the U.S. World Cup soccer team in optimal playing condition is now on a similar mission for teams from all over the world.

Dr. Bert Mandelbaum of the Santa Monica Orthopedic Group traveled to Brazil last week to take on a new role as medical director for the FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football) Medical Center of Excellence, making him the chief doctor for this year’s World Cup games.

This is Mandelbaum’s fifth World Cup — he was the U.S. team doctor in 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2006 — but his first as a FIFA official.

Mandelbaum has also worked as team doctor for several Women’s World Cup U.S. teams and is currently team doctor for the Los Angeles Galaxy pro soccer team in Carson.

Over the years, his unique roles in the world of soccer have also landed him on the world stage.

While traveling with the U.S. team in 1991, Mandelbaum was in Moscow during the attempted overthrow of former Russian

President Mikael Gorbachev and returned home to fill in then-President Ronald Reagan on how the events unfolded. He later hung out with President Bill Clinton in South Africa.

Mandelbaum, now 60, is this year in charge of developing World Cup medical protocol for both the treatment and prevention of player injures.

“My team and I also oversee doping, and we’ve created a new plan to address heat exhaustion.

For the first time in the World Cup, if temperatures reach a certain level the game with be stopped at minutes 35 and 70 for a two-minute break,” Mandelbaum said.

Soccer, however, wasn’t always his sport.

The sport of life; the life of sport

Mandelbaum, who has lived on the Westside for 28 years, played lacrosse at UCLA in the 1970s and after medical school was hired as team doctor for the school’s men’s soccer team.

Siegfried “Sigi” Schmid, the renowned German national soccer coach who played and coached at UCLA, helped

PAGE 8 THE ARGONAUT June 19, 2014

Mandelbaum get his first international job.

The explosion of soccer’s popularity in the United States (call it football almost anywhere else in the world) coincided with Mandelbaum’s first few years with the men’s team and the 1994 World Cup, held at stadiums in nine cities throughout the U.S., including the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

The 2010 World Cup Final match between the Netherlands and Spain drew 24.3 million American viewers, about 9 million more than that year’s fifth and final Major League Baseball World Series game between the San Francisco Giants and Texas Rangers.

“My career parallels the growth in soccer in the United States. I’ve seen it grow from a club sport to the rise of the professional leagues, the popularity of the women’s game and the number of people who play soccer,” Mandelbaum said.

Sports can act as a unifying force between nations and cultures, he said.

“In 1998, we were going to play against Iran. At the time, no diplomatic relations existed between the two countries,”

said Mandelbaum. “Before the game, the Iranian players and our players exchanged flowers and gifts, even though that went against the protocol at the time.”

At the same time, playing sports is also about fierce personal drive and determination.

“My experience is that the sport of life and the life of sport are inextricably linked,” Mandelbaum said. “As athletes it is inherent to be the survivors of the fittest.”

of devastating ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tears suffered by athletes — especially among female soccer players.

The ligament is crucial for stabilizing the knee when an athlete makes rapid cuts or plants his or her foot, as happens frequently in football, soccer and basketball, the sports where this injury is most prominent.

“We are seeing this a lot more with women. We know that 68% of ACL tears have been non-contact injuries,” said Mandelbaum, who has conducted Bouncing back from extensive research on the subject. injury Mandelbaum believes the Helping his athletes survive reason for women suffering competition in full health is more ACL tears than men may Mandelbaum’s mandate, and as have something to do with team doctor for the Galaxy and neuromuscular control, which various World Cup themes that mission has included post-injury he described as the ability to be able to control one’s body when rehabilitation programs and fitness protocol to prevent injury. landing. The use of platelet-rich “As sports doctors, we try to do plasma in treating damage to everything that we can to oversee ligaments and knees is part of a three-pronged approach that the care of athletes’ injuries and the doctor uses with all of his their rehabilitation, and we use patients. strategies to try and prevent as “One of the treatments that we many injuries as possible,” said use when repairing a knee is Mandelbaum. regenerative therapy. You have In his three decades as a sports to look at it as a triad,” he said. physician, Mandelbaum has “We think [platelet-rich plasma] seen a spike in the number has a tremendous amount of

ArgonautNews.com potential. We’ve seen its effect on professional athletes and we think it can be successful with non-athletes as well. As part of a regenerative therapy, it’s just the tip of the iceberg.”

Warming up properly is also important.

Many of the science-based wellness programs related to ACL injury prevention involve 15 to 20 minutes of exercises such as marching, jumping, squatting and side-to-side shuffling that, according to Dr. Eric Swart, “help to wake up the brain and nervous system” and get the entire body moving with sharper coordination.

“Neuromuscular training is just a better way to warm up,” said Swart, a resident of orthopedic surgery at Columbia University in New York who is an expert in ACL care.

Two presidents and a wizard

Mandelbaum’s medical duties for the World Cup have also put him in interesting places at interesting times in history.

“On Aug. 17, 1991, we were in Moscow when the [attempted] coup [that sought to topple Gorbachev] was happening.

We were near the Red Square and didn’t know what was happening. We were right in the middle of this amazing world event, watching all of the military trucks and soldiers go by us,” he recalled. “We flew out of Russia to Munich just in time. My wife called me to tell me what was happening, and we later watched the coup attempt on CNN. It was one of the most memorable moments of my life.”

Shortly after he arrived back home, Mandelbaum was visited

by President Ronald Reagan, who had been a patient at the Santa Monica clinic after a shoulder injury years earlier.

Reagan quizzed Mandelbaum about the attempted coup.

“We talked for a long time.

He was really interested in what happened in Moscow,” Mandelbaum said.

In 2010, President Bill Clinton accompanied the U.S. World Cup team to South Africa, where he spent time getting to know Mandelbaum and his work.

“We got to spend quite a bit of quality time together in the locker room. He watched me sew up some of the players who were hurt. He seemed interested in everything that was going on,” Mandlebaum said.

Another high-profile personality who left an impression on the doctor from his days at UCLA was basketball coach John Wooden, nicknamed

“The Wizard of Westwood” because of the school’s unprecedented seven consecutive national championship wins.

“He would be at the school often and I would get the chance to listen to him philosophize about so many things. He was a great man, a great teacher. And he was a big inspiration for me,” Mandelbaum said.

This year’s U.S. team won its opening game against Ghana on Monday 2-1 in a hard-fought match, and Mandelbaum thinks the team will make a solid showing at this year’s World Cup. We’ve come a long way. Our players have a lot of spirit and determination, and I think we’ll do very well,” he said.

The far-reaching applications of pioneering Silicon Beach technologies, said Marx, should be matched by an equal sense of inclusiveness within the industries themselves.

“The reality is that these technologies are used by everybody. I think the way for us to be successful as a technology industry is to be accessible to everyone,” said Marx, also an adjunct professor with the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

Andrew Rohm, a professor at Loyola Marymount University’s Institute of Marketing and a Silicon Beach Fest panelist, has experienced firsthand just how attractive tech is becoming for women. He said female students fill around 70% of his classrooms.

“More women than ever are really interested in advertising and branding, whether for the creative side or because they want to dive into the analytics of data tracking and evaluation,” Rohm said.

This year’s Silicon Beach Fest includes four women’s panels — all of which feature female venture capitalists and CEOs who, in Winston’s eyes, are “rocking it.” It is his hope that these panels will spotlight female business pioneers who have stepped into a largely male-dominated arena, as well as create a snowball effect of networking between businesswomen.

AIO Robotics Chief Technical Officer Kai Chang tinkers with an early 3D scanner prototype while CEO Jens Windau (center) and In addition to an emphasis on women’s Vice President of Software Christian Siagian talk shop participation, Winston has introduced what he playfully calls a “gadget sandbox.” On Friday afternoon, Silicon Beach Fest is launching its first beachthemed expo for wearable technology, 3D printing and other hardware in response to what Winston considers a current trend of augmented reality.

‘Looking to the horizon for change’ The Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed its first congressional hurdle 50 years ago this week

By Gary Walker Fifty years ago today, the U.S. Senate adopted the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination based on race, gender, religion and national origin.

The 73-27 vote on June 19, 1964, after 83 days of Senate debate, was a watershed moment followed quickly by the act’s approval in the House of Representatives and President Lyndon Johnson signing it into law on June 2 of that year.

The act opened the gateway for other seminal equality legislation, including the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights Act of 1968, commonly known as the Fair Housing Act for its prohibitions on discrimination in the financing, sale and rental of housing.

Pushed for by Johnson and President John F. Kennedy before him, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was “a challenge to men of good will in every part of the country to transform the commands of our law into the customs of our land,” Johnson said after the Senate vote, according to coverage by The New York Times.

On this anniversary and six years after the election of the nation’s first AfricanAmerican president, Rep. Maxine Waters (D- Los Angeles) said a resurgence of state laws that increase voting restrictions — a consequence of a U.S. Supreme Court decision last year striking portions of the Voting Rights Act — is the greatest threat to the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement.

“We have to be vigilant and use whatever means that we can to fight these people, whether it’s in the courts or in the voting booths. Otherwise we could find ourselves in danger of losing much of the progress that we gained so long ago, where so many courageous people lost their lives trying to gain these freedoms,” Waters said.

While L.A.’s Westside did not experience the violence suffered in other parts of the country during the summer that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 became law, acts of protest and civil disobedience did take place here.

“There were a number of bank sit-ins in 1964,” recalled former Santa Monica Mayor Nathaniel Trives, who was one of the city’s first black police officers and was in his sixth year as a Santa Monica police officer in 1964.

“We sent women officers into the banks when there were protesters inside and, strangely enough, the protesters would come out walking peacefully with women officers. But if we sent male officers, they would have to be dragged out,” said Trives, 79, a still-popular civic icon who earned the nickname “Mr. Santa Monica” while serving on the City Council in the 1970s.

He recalled an April 1964 NAACP protest outside the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium while the Academy Awards were being held there.

“We learned about the protests and we decided to cite the protesters and release them instead of holding them at the station,” Trives said. “That way

there were no confrontations. Ironically, the protests were about not having a lot of black actors in the film industry, and Sidney Poitier won [the Best Actor Award] that night,” he said.

Waters, who moved to Los Angeles in 1961, said the NAACP played an important role in the lives of AfricanAmericans in L.A. during the 1960s.

“I recall vividly the water hoses and the dogs that we saw on television in the South that attacked the protesters, and I remember thinking how brave the marchers were. We didn’t see that in Los Angeles, but there was a lot of activism and civil disobedience here in the 1960s,” she said.

throughout the South with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which played a vital role in restaurant sitins and other protests during what would be known as “Freedom Summer.”

“I just kind of lucked into [the Civil Rights Movement],” said Soracco, 78, who formerly owned Fiasco restaurant in Marina del Rey, which was located where Café del Rey now sits.

While working as a teacher in Central California, Soracco was fired for coming to the defense of a group of students who were protesting the banning of a controversial book from their library.

One of those students invited him to a conference in San Francisco, where a SNCC representative was speaking.

“My years in the movement are still the best in a long, varied and adventurous life,” Soracco said in a speech during an event four years ago that honored participants in the Civil Rights Movement.

“I still believe that, 50 years later,” he said this week. “I believed that everyone should have the right to live where they wanted to and vote for whomever they wanted to. Those are just basic human rights.”

Trives said he has been witness to a tremendous amount of change in society but feels there’s still more work to be done.

“We still have a way to go in terms of judging people by what’s in their hearts.

Unfortunately, we haven’t lived long enough to recognize people as people based on who they are and not how they look,” he said. “These superficial things continue to determine, for many, how we look at other people. But I have seen a lot of things change, and I keep looking to the horizon for change.” ª gary@argonautnews.com June 19, 2014 THE ARGONAUT PAGE 11

Beck makes bid for second term as LAPD chief

Police Commission began public evaluation process on Wednesday in Westchester

By Gary Walker Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck’s campaign for a second five-year term as the city’s top cop began Wednesday during a special meeting of the Los Angeles Police Commission at the Westchester Senior Center.

Beck announced his desire for another term in an April letter to the commission, arguing that crime has gone down in the city at a time when funding for the LAPD has been cut back.

While the chief of police is appointed by the mayor, reappointment of a chief is subject to approvals by the commission and the City Council.

The commission has asked the public to weigh in on the job Beck has done.

“We’re hoping to hear things that we haven’t considered before. We’re hoping to hear things that maybe go deeper than we’ve thought about,” said L.A. Police Commission President Steve Soboroff, who previously led efforts to develop Playa Vista.

Despite the invitation, fewer than 30 members of the public attended the meeting.

Neighborhood Council of Westchester – Playa President Cyndi Hench, who has helped organize neighborhood watch groups throughout Westchester, said community members are supportive of the police but have raised concerns about response times.

“In Westchester-Playa, our community enjoys a great relationship with our officers and with the command at Pacific [Division, which patrols Playa del Rey, Venice, Westchester, Del Rey, Mar Vista and Playa Vista], and we’re very fortunate for that. But with communications providing unsatisfactory customer service, it kind of blows everything up and the perception in the community is not good,” said Hench, a Westchester resident.

“What is perceived as not caring or unresponsive is often reported to me. Things could be worse, but things could be a lot better. I don’t know if the delayed response time is due to budget constraints or from

created a lot of relationships and a lot of fond memories of the people here.”

Gautt, who did his patrol training in Carson some 30 years ago, spent five years as a lieutenant in Marina del Rey before taking over the station’s top post.

In addition to various theft suppression efforts, Gautt said he was proud of strengthening the station’s partnership with the L.A. County Dept. of Beaches and Harbors, which Capt.

LAPD leadership.”

Westchester residents have complained of increasing crime in their neighborhoods over the last several months, but the Los Angeles Times’ “Mapping L.A.” projects lists only a pair of violent crimes and 37 property crimes over the last several months.

“We can always do better,” Beck told The Argonaut after the meeting. “We have tremendous issues that have come about from the budget crisis and reduced staffing levels in our 911 centers and in our jails. Rebuilding the Los Angeles Police Dept. is really important to me.”

Beck also said he wants to keep up positive momentum within the department.

“I also want to make sure that all the tenets of constitutional policing and community policing stay intact, and that we push all those beliefs and all that philosophy down to the rank and file and not just have it be the domain of management. This is something that we’ve been doing for the last five years and I want to keep doing that,” Beck said.

Although the Westchester meeting was the first of several public comment opportunities, Soboroff said Beck has been in previous discussions with the commission and Mayor Eric Garcetti.

“One thing that we’ve asked [Beck] is ‘What have you done that’s great? And what could you do better?’” Soboroff said.

A spokeswoman for Garcetti declined to comment, but the

mayor has spoken highly of Beck.

“He’s been a super chief,” Garcetti said during a recent broadcast of the NBC Sunday morning public affairs show “News Conference.” “I trust my managers and they are going to make different decisions at different points,” Both Garcetti and Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin have pushed for technology upgrades to improve departmental operations.

“One of the things that I would like to discuss is the modernization of technology at LAPD and how they will manages their resources in the future,” Bonin said. “My overall impression of Chief Beck is very positive. He has done an incredible job transitioning the department from the [former LAPD Chief] Bill Bratton era and he is very popular with the rank and file. I think his chances for reappointment are in the high-90 percentile.”

“We are very desirous of increasing our ability with technology,” Beck said. “It’s been very difficult because of the budget. But now, because things are starting to move forward, we have budgeting for in-car video for another half of the city, which is really important in changing the way that we do some of our reporting.”

L.A.-based indie comic book creators help Beyond Baroque break new ground

By Michael Aushenker Long a home for poetry and performance art, Venice’s Beyond Baroque dabbles in a new medium on Sunday to welcome five creators operating in the same realm that spawned “Ghost World,” “American Splendor,” “Scott Pilgrim” and “Persepolis.”

Not the movies, but the independent comic books that inspired them.

"Going Graphic" wrangles original comic art from graphic novels (long-form comic books) by alternative cartoonists Jordan Crane, Tom Neely, Andy Ristaino, Ron Regé Jr. and Leland Myrick for display at Beyond Barqoue’s Mike Kelley Gallery through July 25.

“Comics has what movies used to have” — solid narrative, strong storylines — said “Going Graphic” curator Allen

Rubinstein, an advocate of the art form via his website comicsjuice.com.

What Hollywood currently has is a golden age for Marvel and DC superheroes in the multiplexes. On paper, however, American comics have long evolved and expanded beyond capes to offer everything from Raymond Carverstyle slice-of-life fiction to biographical comics.

“There are five graphic novels about Che Guevara alone,” Rubinstein said.

Among the cornerstone graphic novels Rubinstein credits with pushing the form forward in the last four decades: Will Eisner’s “A Contract With God” (considered by many to be the first contemporary graphic novel in 1978), Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer-winning Holocaust memoir “Maus,” the deconstructionist (Continued to page 30)

Del Rey Art Walk spotlights creativity thriving in an often overlooked neighborhood

By Michael Aushenker Patrice Springer paints nature. Emma Enchique and Erma Benetez create ceramics. Angelica Butler makes jewelry and macramé. Gabby Salas draws and fashions Native American crafts. Former Universal Studios in-house artist Sonia Sanders, 90, paints portraits.

What unites these artists is that each is a resident of Del Rey and among 22 artists in that quiet West Los Angeles neighborhood who are opening their studios on Sunday for the fifth annual Del Rey Art Walk.

The Del Rey Art Walk is based at the Beatrice/Mesmer Community Garden but incorporates 11 additional sites. A map of

artists’ studios guides visitors to a diverse cross-section of paintings, drawings, jewelry, photography and pottery along a four-mile route. At two addresses — 12123 Braddock Drive and 11815 Beatrice St. — Danny Meyer leads the Del Rey Community Jazz Band.

For ceramicist Benetez, a physician by profession, “it’s a happy pursuit” to have helped organize and participate in the art walk since its inception in late 2010.

“About five years ago in the summer there were quite a few of us who lived in the area,” Benetez recalled. “We have the garden at the corner of Mesmer and Beatrice. It was just a bare lot with trash.

The city said ‘OK, you can have it if you maintain it.’ Someone said, ‘Why don’t

Interview

A subversive gets conversive ‘Bad Boy’ painter Eric Fischl talks art with his highest-profile collector — comedian Steve Martin — at The Broad Stage This kind of thing doesn’t happen very often.

On Monday, one of the most celebrated and controversial artists of a generation visits The Broad Stage for a very public conversation about his subversive paintings with one of Hollywood’s great comic minds.

As it turns out, Eric Fischl is one of comedian Steve Martin’s biggest fans, and Martin is one of Fischl’s most prominent collectors.

Psychologically and sexually-charged, Fischl’s dark glimpses of suburbia in paintings such as 1981’s “Bad Boy,” in which a young boy reaches into his mother’s purse while spying on her sprawled naked, and 1979’s “Sleepwalker,” a nocturnal scene of an adolescent boy masturbating in a kid’s pool, made Fischl an enfant terrible of painting; the shock value backed up by his deft, California Institute of the Arts-honed use of strokes and colors.

Fischl, 66, is among the artists who kept representational painting alive even as the Kostabis and Koons of the art world pushed fine arts further down the conceptual/postmodern/“what constitutes art?” rabbit hole.

In 2001, the New York-based artist once again sparked controversy with his post-9/11 statue “Tumbling Woman,” which for many recalled the horrors of people jumping out of the World Trade Center.

Martin, who counts several Fischl paintings among his extensive collection of modern art, has also found his way into Fischl’s DVD collection.

“For writing, acting, genius concept and range, ‘The Jerk,’ ‘All of Me,’ ‘Bowfinger,’ ‘Roxanne,’ ‘L.A. Story’ and ‘Shopgirl’ epitomize his brilliance,” Fischl said. “Steve has and continues to be an enormous inspiration. He is, for sure, the most multi-talented man I know, and his insatiable curiosity for new forms for his expression stand alone in my experience as awe-inspiring. He is truly a great artist.”

—Michael Aushenker Where are you currently in your artistic journey?

At the moment I am working on a series of paintings based on recreated scenes from art fairs. The sheer number of art fairs has to be one of the strangest and most disappointing manifestations of our new art world. It is as strange as speeddating, Twitter or Instagram.

Consumption with no digestion.

No real nourishment. Low-cal and supplemental. We would be fooling ourselves to think this is healthy.

How, then, would you say the fine arts landscape has changed since you broke through in the early 1980s?

I would say that in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s, none of us saw this coming. We all made

art with a deep sense of social and political purpose and truly believed —naively believed — that art could change the world.

Unfortunately, the various strategies of appropriation, willful bad painting, and absurdity spilling over into cynicism bled artwork of its moral high ground. This allowed a collecting audience to view art as a currency of exchange that could be parlayed for things of greater value: money and social position.

Did the public rejection of “Tumbling Woman” impact the direction of your art?

The rejection of “Tumbling Woman” was a real eye-opener for me. It highlighted with great clarity just how wide the gulf between art and society is today.

It has become an even more

Do you feel that your mother’s alcoholism and eventual suicide was your biggest push toward exploring dark psychological spaces and subversive themes?

It was surviving the secrecy and denial surrounding my mother’s illness that gave me the courage to expose it. Trauma is certainly something that can be channeled in a healthy way through creative expression, creative outlets. But it was not the sole reason that my work took the path that it did. I am a natural-born storyteller. I see and understand experiences through the way I retell them. I also am deeply affected (perhaps oversensitive) by the feelings of others. I watch people constantly and constantly measure the

urgent reason for me to try and find ways of educating, expanding audiences and demystifying the creative process.

Some examples of what I am referring to are the “America Now and Here” project I initiated to try and engage a broader American public in a national conversation about America, which used the arts to begin the conversation. This was a traveling exhibition designed to fit on trailers and taken around the country to small towns, mid-size cities and inner cities. My [2013] memoir “Bad Boy: My Life On and Off the Canvas” was another attempt to bring the reader into a more intimate space by allowing them to see how I create works.

The Mexico you don’t know Discover the ancient traditions and exotic flavors of Oaxacan cuisine at Monte Alban

We Deliver!

By Richard Foss

Richard@RichardFoss.com

Monte Alban Oaxaca Restaurante

DINE-IN • TAKE-OUT • DELIVERY

11929 Santa Monica Blvd., West L.A. (310) 444-7736 montealbanlosangeles.com In recent years the ancient cuisine of Oaxaca has become much more available in Los Angeles, to widespread confusion among gringos who stumble upon one and expect familiar California/ Mex flavors. This is the cuisine of an older culture, one less affected by the innovations of the conquistadores and those who followed them. The sauces are richer, more complex and altogether different, and so even familiar items taste exotic.

One of my favorite Oaxacan places is Monte Alban Restaurante, which is tucked in a strip mall on Santa Monica Boulevard. It doesn’t look like much from outside, but the vibrant folk art and murals of its interior give a sense of cultural pride. The menu is full of unusual items, and you may feel inclined to retreat to something you know. like a taco or burrito.

Resist the urge — they’re good here, but other options offer rarer delights.

You might start with a molote, the equivalent of an Indian somosa made with a corn crust.

It’s a crisp casing for potato and chorizo, a great little snack, and I am always in danger of overordering these because they’re so tasty. If you like mushrooms you might also consider an empanada de huitlacoche. This corn fungus has a delicious earthy flavor like concentrated morels or truffles, and it’s terrific packed into a thin-crusted turnover along with onions and a delicate sauce.

If you’re very adventurous, you might order chapulines — grasshoppers sautéed with garlic, lime juice and a dash of chili.

They don't have a huge amount of flavor and can be compared to a delicate, crisp shrimp. Macho guys like to order these with beer, and any leftovers can be packed into children's' school lunches to delight and horrify their friends.

Another item that should be ordered if it is available is

Monte Alban’s dining room exudes cultural pride, as does its kitchen

stuffed squash blossoms. One of the techniques the Oaxacans did adopt from the Spanish was cheese-making, and their style of cheese is great when stuffed into pumpkin flowers and fried.

The emblematic dish of Oaxaca is mole, a type of sauce made with ground nuts, seeds and herbs, often with chocolate as a base. There are several kinds with varying degrees of hotness, and you should try as many as you can. The chicken tamales here are a good place to start — they’re topped with a black mole that is velvety, rich and just a little hot, like a mild Thai curry.

The yellow mole, which is hotter, is often served with beef dishes, and there are several variants on red mole, which is lighter and sweeter.

One way of trying several is to order a clayuda, a kind of Oaxacan pizza on a smoked cornmeal crust. This has an unusual cardboard-like texture that can take getting used to — Americans are used to having their pastry either crisp or soft, and this is neither. After a few bites you just enjoy it for what it is: a great platform for a slathering of black beans, avocado, salsa, cheese and meat.

You can get it vegetarian or topped with grilled pork, chicken or tasajo, thinly sliced grilled beef that is chewy and tasty. Ask for some of the different mole sauces on the side and you can get a taste of all the flavors, but

beware — the clayuda is big and filling, easily a meal for two.

Other specialties here are barbacoa de chivo — a tender goat stew in a spicy red chili sauce — or a molcajete, a mix of grilled meats, cactus paddles and vegetables doused in sauce and served in a small cauldron made from volcanic rock. The cactus paddles have an intense taste slightly similar to bell pepper.

Some people love it, some don’t — the only way to find out is to try it.

Beer and wine are offered, but I’d recommend one of the fruit drinks, juices or milkshakes that are another specialty of this region. These will vary with the season, but their horchata, a milky drink with rich flavors of nuts, cinnamon and vanilla, is particularly good.

There are newer restaurants that experiment with popularizing or fusing Oaxacan flavors, but Monte Alban remains my favorite. The family members who own the place give very personal service and are usually available to take time to explain unfamiliar dishes, and they help make the experience enjoyable.

Prices are modest and portions large — take a few friends, fill the table with items you’ve never heard of, and start exploring. ª Monte Alban open from 8 a.m. to 11 pm. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m. to midnight on weekends.

Vegetarian items available.

Filmmaker returns for another ‘Last Stand’

Sheila Laffey says her 2000 documentary on the fate of the Ballona Wetlands is just as needed today

Local News & Culture

to the area while a resident of Hawaii, where she also made environmental films. “We would drive past this area that really intrigued me, where you can see egrets even east of Lincoln [Boulevard] and you can actually smell the nature.

It was very tangible to me, how it was sort of sandwiched in-between the urban landscape of mini-malls that were nondescript and clearly cemented over. It was sort of magic for me.”

Laffey believes her film, which warranted follow-up featurettes in 2003 and 2004, remains timely — particularly when it comes to the fate of the drier upland areas of the preserve and impending decisions about construction of a nature center facility proposed by the Annenberg Foundation.

“It’s important to understand the history of an area when something like the Annenberg building is proposed,” Laffey said. “Over 100 groups were part of the coalition to save all of the Ballona Wetlands. People like Kathy Knight [conservation chair of Sierra Club Airport Marina Group], who spent 20 years trying to save it. It brings this area to the fore so people understand why it was saved in the first place. We’ve lost 96% of wetlands in Southern California. Scientists say we’ve lost 90% in California.”

Laffey, a professor of film studies at Santa Monica College, moved to Santa Monica in 1997. She presently teaches

By Michael Aushenker While it may seem like something of a flashback when the Sierra Club Airport Marina Group hosts a screening of 2000’s “The Last Stand: The Struggle for the Ballona Wetlands,” the documentary’s producer insists that the film’s message remains as relevant today as when it was made.

Sheila Laffey, who with Todd Brunelle co-directed the hour-long film years before the first phase of the Playa Vista development was completed, will be on hand to discuss the project during a free screening next Thursday at the Burton Chace Park Community Room in Marina del Rey. Laffey’s Telly Award-winning documentary, hosted by actor Ed Asner and featuring music by Joni Mitchell, examines the land-use battle that erupted in the late 1990s when environmentalists opposed plans to build a DreamWorks Studio complex in Playa Vista, arguing that construction would threaten the wetland ecosystem.

The drama over the fate of the wetlands involved a cast of scientists, environmentalists, community organizers, developers, labor unions, Native American groups, politicians and Hollywood players.

“I had connected with the location even before I lived here,” Laffey said of trips

“The Last Stand” directors Sheila Laffey and Todd Brunelle join narrator Ed Asner on a perch overlooking the Ballona Wetlands

such courses as “Green Screen: Films on the Environment and Transformation,” “History of Documentary” and a course on Alfred Hitchcock.

As an associate producer, Laffey is presently seeking distribution for another environmental documentary — “Love Thy Nature,” narrated by Liam Neeson. She is also getting involved in an expanded version of “Speak for the Trees,” about the successful fight to save 110 acres of Oregon woodland.

Ultimately, Laffey believes in the old maxim that one can anticipate future problems by learning from history.

“If we’re out of balance, it’s not a surprise that the planet is out of balance,” ª she said.

“The Last Stand” screens at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 26, at the Burton Chace Park Community Room, 13650 Mindanao Way, Marina del Rey. Call (310) 4373523 or visit greenplanetfilms.com. michael@argonautnews.com

cartoonists...

(Continued from page 13)

superhero saga “Watchmen,” Marjane Satrapi’s autobiographical account of her Iran Revolution-set childhood “Persepolis,” and Craig Thompson’s coming-of-age confessional “Blankets.”

The most well-known artist among the “Going Graphic” group is “The Last Lonely Saturday” author Crane, 39, while Regé's mini-comics have been published by various hip alt-comics imprints and in McSweeney’s.

Pasadena’s Leland Myrick, currently collaborating on a graphic novel about scientist Stephen Hawking, works primarily in nonfiction.

Neely, 38, is an experimental cartoonist best known for his “Henry and Glenn Forever” collections — jokey self-contained cartoons exploring an angst-ridden, what-if romantic relationship between punk rockers Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig.

Neely’s “Henry & Glenn Forever & Ever” collection is due for publication this summer, and his exploration of the “ape-man, biker-gang, exploitation genre” in “The Humans” (with writing partner Keenan Marshall Keller) comes out next month. At Beyond Baroque, he displays pages from “The Blot,” “The Wolf,” “Brilliantly Ham-fisted,” “Your Disease Spread Quick” and, he added, “even some of my Popeye comics.”

Whatever the label — indie, alternative, art comics — there is more acceptance of this work as an artistic medium than ever before, Neely said.

“Right now, I think the awareness and respect for comics among the general public is at an all-time high. I’ve been self-publishing comics since 1999 and I’ve seen the ups and downs of the industry along the way,” Neely said. “There are new comic art festivals and conventions popping up everywhere around the country. And many of those shows have completely different artists, different kinds of comics and different audiences. And then there’s webcomics.”

Ristaino, 39 and a Mount Washington resident, displays seven pages in the show: five from a back-up story for the popular Image comic “Prophet” (#29) and two from his upcoming 2015 graphic novel “The Tunnel,” described by its creator as a horror tale doubling as relationships metaphor.

By day, Ristaino is an animator who has done character design and storyboarding for the idiosyncratic “Adventure Time,” now in its sixth season.

“It’s hard to do indie comics and make money.

You have to be really good and really lucky,” Ristaino said.

While he enjoys working on the Cartoon Network series, Ristaino finds counterbalance in creating comics when “Adventure Time” enters hiatus.

“Part of it is for me to branch into a different type of storytelling,” said Ristaino, who recently delved into darker, more dramatic work.

Rubinstein got the idea to approach Beyond Baroque Director Richard Modiano after Rubinstein’s girlfriend, Tresha Haefner, taught a children’s poetry class at the literary center.

An exhibit pooling indie cartoonists may seem like a natural for this institution—long a bastion for counterculture self-expression — but Modiano said “Going Graphic’ is the first time Beyond Baroque is showcasing cartoonists.

“It seemed to me about time for us to recognize these artists who’ve enriched American letters by marrying the image and the word with the creation of a new genre,” Modiano said.

Neely welcomes the opportunity to exhibit outside of Comic-Con circles.

“I no longer feel a need for comics to be taken ‘seriously’ by a niche of elitists,” Neely said.

“I just want people to enjoy comics as much as they do music and movies and TV.” ª “Going Graphic” begins with an opening reception for the artists at 3 p.m. Sunday and continues through July 25 at Beyond Baroque, 681 Venice Blvd., Venice. Admission is free; donations accepted. Call (310) 822-3006 or visit beyondbaroque.com. michael@argonautnews.com

Del Rey Art Walk...

(Continued from page 13)

we bring plants? Why don’t we bring art?’”

From that genesis sprang an annual event.

While the first Del Rey Art Walk was held on Dec. 4, 2010, replete with festive poinsettias to mark the Yuletide, the event quickly jumped to spring in 2011 and has remained a June happening ever since.

“I sent out about 500 fliers and we ended up with a really nice art walk that first year,” said ceramicist Charlotte DeMeo, the art walk’s main organizer. “When I had so many responses, I thought this is great that we have that many artists in our community who want to show.”

DeMeo’s involvement came organically.

“When I retired, I took a watercolor class.

I loved it. So I thought, I bet there are other people in the neighborhood who had art that they wanted to show,” she said.

While the art walk does have its challenges — “Del Rey is a community that no one really knows much about,” DeMeo said — it has continued to grow and evolve.

This year’s compact route is designed to encourage travel by bicycle.

The artists represent the diversity of Del Rey in terms of both background and age.

“What’s wonderful about this is that everybody is so different. Art is really subjective but there’s not one person doing the same thing,” DeMeo said. “Even if two people are doing pottery or acrylics, it’s not the same. Each one has their own individual style. [It’s a testament to] how different everybody sees things.”

One destination features Bridgette Charlotte and Sabrina Bolster, the youngest on the Del Rey roster, whose garage studio engages children in interactive arts.

Over on Aneta Street, Springer, another of the art walk’s founding artists, introduces her latest painted landscapes. On Bray Street, Debbie and Allen Logaretta lead Native American beading with children, and on Coolidge Avenue Timothy Treadwell displays his photography.

Artwork by Playa del Rey Elementary School students is showcased to encourage donations toward the school’s art program.

“We’re trying to support arts education. We’re not trying to support ourselves,” Benetez said.

Participants say they appreciate the Del Rey Art Walk on several levels.

“I’ve had a chance to get to know my neighbors, and they’ve had a chance to get to know each other. We’ve also had a chance to become inspired by the variety of people who have lived in the neighborhood,” Benetez said.ª The Del Rey Art Walk takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Start from the Beatrice/ Mesmer Community Garden at Beatrice Avenue and Mesmer Street. Call (310) 994-8665 or visit delreyart.blogspot.com. michael@argonautnews.com

The Trunk Gallery show began taking root a few weeks ago at the Maker Fair in San Mateo, where gallery owner Ann Perich found Johnson hawking his books and selling prints.

The exhibit draws from Johnson’s three published illustration collections — 1984’s “What the World Needs Now” (which includes such schematic illustrations as “Exercise Roll Bar,” “Bed-Room,” “Shirt and Tie Mutations” and “Moto-Dinette”), 1991’s “Public Therapy Buses” and 2012’s self-published “Have Fun Inventing.” Each captures mirthful musings on modern life and superlative “conveniences” in a vein that might recall the maddening contraptions featured in filmmaker Jacques Tati’s “Playtime” and “Traffic.”

“I even heard industrial designers passed it around,” Johnson said of his first book.

Johnson has actually built one of his inventions — a two-story slipper with a flashlight dubbed “Slippershine” that appeared in a Johnny Carson bit on “The Tonight Show” circa Christmas 1987.

Despite the imagination invested in these ingenious pseudo-inventions, “I’ve never put a patent on anything,” he said.

One of the illustrations in the upcoming Trunk show will be a hot tub convertible he drew for Road & Track magazine.

After all those years creating panels for periodicals, Johnson believes it’s the interest of others, not self-motivation, that gets his wheels and gears spinning and spurs him into action these days.

“It’s somewhere between peculiar and embarrassing, but it’s more that I’m driven by assignments. It is dependent a lot on whether ª there’s interest or not.”

Steven M. Johnson’s “Fear Furniture and Public Therapy Buses” exhibit kicks off with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday. The show continues through July 14 at Trunk Gallery, 12818 Venice Blvd., Mar Vista. Call (310) 4837221 or visit trunkgallery.org. michael@argonautnews.com

By Michael Aushenker The “Moto-Dinette” — a motorcycle built for two that spreads out into a picnic table and bench.

A “Yogamobile” that allows its robed occupants to sit in lotus position while driving.

An alarm that lets a guy know if his zipper is down.

Whimsical yet technical, the deadpan art of Steven M. Johnson that goes up on the Trunk Gallery’s walls on Saturday may deliver a sense of humor drier than the latex paint underneath the hangings. There’s a sense of precision recalling the illustrations seen in technical manuals, and that’s very much by design, the artist said.

“I enjoy the fun of the inventing process. I had to actually make them seem to work. The reader can see how I had to construct it with some serious design work even if it were stupid,” said Johnson, a self-described “possibilitist.”

The Mar Vista show is the first West Coast solo show for Johnson, 76, who now lives in the Sacramento suburb of Carmichael but had worked in Torrance for 18 years as a trend analyst for Honda. His time with the automaker and early work in city planning may have had a hand in informing his mechanical-minded art, he reluctantly admits.

But from 1972 to 1995, Johnson worked as one of the general artists at the Sacramento Bee, where he created charts, graphs and other illustrations to accompany articles.

And then there was “A Step Ahead,” his future-thinking panel cartoons which ran from 1989 to 1995, allowing Johnson to eke out some extra pay illustrating his fanciful creations for $25 each.

“I’m a wannabe cartoonist,” he said, tonguein-cheek.

In truth, Johnson’s cartooning began in the late 1960s for Cry California, an environmental magazine. He did similar-minded art as a freelancer for the Sierra Club Bulletin (later Sierra Magazine) from 1973 to 1980.

Obituaries Well Known Captain dies An established sailor who has resided in Marina del Rey since 1997 when he moved here from Arizona, Captain Larry Beane was known by many. He was a charter captain, well versed in his trade, having owned 35 boats during his lifetime, the first being built by his father when he was 10. He was a great guy and friend who treated people with respect and sincerity. "He was a real gentleman and the most decent man I've ever known" says his wife, Shelley. The two were engaged in February of 2013 and married that August. The ceremony was held at sunset in Marina del Rey harbor on Larry's katch (his pride & joy), Nirvana. "We were looking to buy a bigger sailboat and cruise the South Pacific" says Shelley. The couple had just gone on their honeymoon to the Caribean in December. "We were so excited about our future together."

Larry passed away suddenly on March 6, 2014. A memorial will be held at a later date.

Larry had three step-children, Eric Haupt, Lisa Rostoker and Angie Nevin.

PET CORNER

Great Pets Looking for a Home Coco Chanel and Papa Bear are litter mates who’ve lived their entire lives together. They’ve lost their home through no fault of their own and are looking for another together. Their foster mom says they’re a genuine pleasure—sweet, affectionate, and loving.

Benny, a tiny poodle mix, was hit by a car and abandoned by his family. He desperately needs someone who will give him lots of TLC and care while he awaits surgery for multiple fractures and then recovers.

He loves people, especially when he can snuggle. He’ll return your love tenfold.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting Coco Chanel & Papa Bear or Benny, please call Voice for the Animals at 310-392-5153 and leave a message for our adoption coordinator or email Kristen@vftafoundation.org.
