LAX

New Tom Bradley International Terminal draws rave reviews By Gary Walker Like proud parents showing off a child who is a star athlete or an accomplished scholar, Los Angeles city leaders wore smiles from ear to ear during a sneak peak of the newly minted Tom Bradley International Terminal June 20. Los Angeles International Airport officials say the $1.9 billion initiative, the largest public works project in the history of Los Angeles, will put the city squarely in line with other top-flight airports across the nation. At a media preview of the international terminal, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa joined officials from Westfield as well as the architect who designed the new terminal, Curtis Fentress of Fentress Architects, and other airport representatives to showcase the terminal’s new features, including its more than 60 new dining and retail shops and several interactive multimedia features. The mayor and Los Angeles World Airports Executive Director Gina Marie Lindsey beamed as they addressed the press and several invitees to the red carpet ceremony, and spoke in glowing terms of all of the people and entities responsible for what they believe is a passenger-oriented structure that will place LAX among the best airports in the nation. The design of the terminal, named in honor of Los Angeles first black mayor, reflects what many of those involved see as quintessential Los

Angeles: screens with cascading waterfalls, an open, airy atmosphere and a flowing roofline that bring to mind waves breaking at one of the city’s multiple beaches. Across from the mezzanine, one of the multimedia screens featured a surfer riding the crest of a wave. “You’re almost at a loss for words when you look around here,” said Villaraigosa. “It’s emblematic of Los Angeles in so many ways.” Lindsey also talked about the terminal’s design and praised Fentress and his team for their work. “If not for Curt and his vision, we would not be in such an amazing structure,” she said. Fentress, a well-known architect based in Colorado whose portfolio includes airport terminals, government buildings, convention centers and museums, sees his LAX design as blending the city’s best features with modern day technology. “The successful LAX of the 21st century will be a consummate host to the world, both seamlessly integrating into its context and embodying the spirit of Los Angeles in such a way that it will become a new, modern landmark by which the region is recognized worldwide,” he said. Giving the international terminal a muchneeded overhaul is perhaps the key component of a larger puzzle to modernize LAX, a plan that was conceived in 2009 and is now almost ready to bear fruit. “It’s the cornerstone of our modernization (Continued on page 8) Photo by Jorge M.

NOW THIS IS A WORLD-CLASS AIRPORT!

LAWA Executive Director Gina Marie Lindsey, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Westfield Co-Chief Officer Peter Lowy take in all the new features as they stroll through the refurbished Tom Bradley International Terminal.

Jumping into record territory Playa Vista athlete continues success after winning national long jump crown By Vince Echavaria Courtney Corrin captured virtually every major title a high school long jumper could hope to achieve this season — and that was just her first year. Corrin, 15, a Harvard-Westlake School freshman who has grown up in Playa Vista, has leaped to distances no other high school girl her age has ever reached – marks that most boys her age would brag about. Jumping at the renowned Mt. SAC Relays this spring, she set the all-time girls freshman class record in the long jump at 20-feet-11. That feat was followed by a California Interscholastic Federation State Championship with a mark of 20-feet-9 and ¼ inches and a national championship at the New Balance National Outdoor meet in Greensboro, NC, where she edged out the second-place finisher by (Continued on page 6)

A view on Marina environmental projects

In the summer of 1919, professor of nature study at Los Angeles State College, Roland C. Ross, lived for two months in the Ballona marshes studying birds and wildlife. On the first day of spring in 1963, after working with the county of Los Angeles, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, conservation groups and others for six years, he celebrated the dedication by the county Board of Supervisors of the Oxford Lagoon in Marina del Rey, as the Los Angeles County Bird Conservation Area. Only recognized nature groups, such as Audubon societies were to be permitted inside the refuge. After 50 years of abuse, neglect, and mismanagement, the county is promoting the Oxford Basin Multiuse Enhancement Project as the solution after recently rezoning the adjacent parking lot OT to become Oceana’s

5-story senior living facility. Before changing the Marina del Rey Land Use Plan to allow this controversial development, the policy language stated that the parking lot shall remain a parking lot or a public park. I’ve read and commented on the Oxford Basin Project’s mitigated negative declaration. The project will not benefit wildlife, it will increase public recreational opportunities. It will also increase urban runoff and flood storage capacity by building a 2-foot-high concrete wall adjacent to Washington Boulevard. If there is a failure, neighboring homes will be significantly flooded. Nearly 10,000 cubic yards of soil, 400 trees, and the majority of vegetation would be removed and replaced with 650 trees and other aesthetic features – all without an environmental impact report, which would give the public an opportunity to propose alternatives. In my opinion, parking lot OT is an ideal location for the Annenberg Foundation’s VOL 43, NO 26

proposed interpretive center that was denied in Palos Verdes and is not wanted by many on the Ballona Wetlands. On Thursday June 20, during public comment I asked that the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission governing board make a motion to rededicate the Oxford Basin the Roland C. Ross Bird Conservation Area. My request was not discussed by the commission. The commission’s Scott Valor again stated they are going to allow the absolute minimum of public participation as they update the Bay Restoration Plan and allow controversial development projects to move forward. Heal the Bay representatives sit on the restoration commission and again did nothing even though they were founded through my father, Rimmon Fay’s, work. Born in 1962, I grew up playing in the bird sanctuary. There was so much life until they shut off the fresh water and made several other changes that diminished habitat value. The county supervisors and the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission need to hear from you. Douglas Fay

LAWA has been “cheatingâ€? for well over a year now, allowing planes to take off on a more north route than they previously have. In fact, it is at the point some of us can no longer leave our terrace open and hear television nor have telephone conversations. In addition, some aircraft veer so close to our complex that windows chatter. And moving the runway 260 feet north will have no effect on us living in Playa del Rey? Really? I have a suggestion – let’s have a campout. We can host officials from LAWA and the city in our backyards. They can pitch tents and stay for a week to enjoy and live with the sounds of the airport. And for sure, we will also have the LAWA officials turn the airport operation around for a couple days as they frequently do in inclement weather so they can also experience planes landing from the west – fun times. Only then will I listen when they explain how there will be no impact to our community. D. Goodwin Playa del Rey

Doubt airport impacts? Let’s camp out and see

With the latest shootings in Santa Monica, we must once again turn our attention to the issue of guns in society and the right to bear arms. Gun violence has been a hot topic for many, many years. The arguments both for and against gun ownership are as many as the number of guns themselves. However, one thing is clear: Shootings are now common occurrences and the fear that a child will be shot and/or killed at school seems (Continued on page 32)

It is disheartening to continue to read that Los Angeles World Airports and city officials do not believe there will be any noise impact to the surrounding Playa del Rey/Westchester community should the Los Angeles International Airport north runway be moved. I believe the numerous condominium complexes as well as homes along Manitoba Street/Westchester Parkway would beg to differ.

Playa Vista teen’s season included national freshman class record

an inch with a jump of 20-feet-7 and Ÿ inches. And Corrin’s record season is still going. The track athlete, who also runs in the 200 and 400 meter races, finally attained her goal of breaking the 21-foot barrier June 25 at the World Youth Trials in Illinois, breaking her own freshman class record and setting a new meet record as well. Corrin hopes her victory will qualify her for a spot on the U.S. team at the World Youth Championships in Donetsk,

As for becoming the all-time freshman record holder in an event made popular by legendary athletes like Jesse Owens and Carl Lewis, Corrin described it as a “great feeling.� But she couldn’t help but point out that it was an earlier jump well below her standard that motivated her to soar to the gigantic mark in the sand. Many an athlete would take pride in attaining the level of success Corrin has already seen in one sport, but the teenager is also a standout in soccer, playing forward on the school high and club teams. Corrin, who

has played soccer since age 4, doesn’t pick a favorite between the two sports as she likes both the individual aspect of track and field and the team chemistry that soccer provides. Much of her enthusiasm for either sport “depends on the season,â€? she says. “Track is an individual sport mostly‌ and you can get bigheaded in a way, but soccer keeps you mellow because you can’t do all the work,â€? she said. “I think (soccer) is a great sport and I have a lot of respect for it.â€? At one time, Corrin also excelled at gymnastics, achieving

Ukraine July 10-14. While she came out on top at nationals as only a freshman, Corrin felt privileged to be able to test out her skills against other elite prep athletes from across the country. “I think it’s amazing and also an honor because they’re just as good and they compete and train just as hard as you,� Corrin said of participating at the national stage. “I think it’s always good to have that competition, especially at a young age, because it kind of teaches you how great everyone else is and to make sure you stay humble and train even harder.�

Ultimately, she dreams of competing in the Olympics, the major stage for track and field, and also making the women’s World Cup soccer team. Her record-breaking mark as a freshman has put her in strong position to challenge the girls’ national high school long jump record of 22-feet-3 inches. But with three years still remaining in high school, Corrin is not trying to jump ahead too far in her life and just wants to enjoy the flight. “I have to learn to take a break and step away, which is good, but right now I’m just having fun,â€? she said.  Vince@ArgonautNews.com

but Corrin relishes putting her energy in different places. One side activity she takes passion in is painting her nails with different designs including the Chinese symbols for “happiness and passion,� and the number 20 for the barrier she first crossed this season in the long jump. The nails give her inspiration, she explains, though her father jokes that he “had no idea� about her hobby. When she is not out on the track or soccer field, she is planning to take the PSATs and keep working toward good grades, steps that she hopes will lead her to be able to take part in both soccer and track in college.

daughter on her long jump skill, believes her level of success at an early age is in part due to her being a fast learner and someone with “natural instincts� who works hard, has a good attitude and stays humble. Corrin’s head track coach at Harvard-Westlake, Jonas Koolsbergen, agrees, saying it has been a tremendous thrill to have an athlete of her tremendous ability and accomplishment as part of the school’s program. “Courtney is unusually experienced for such a young athlete. She has been in tough spots and is not afraid to compete against excellent opponents,� said Koolsbergen, who has coached two other national champions. “She obviously possesses tremendous physical skills, but she also brings exceptional drive and dedication to her work. Talent is often wasted. Courtney’s gifts go far beyond the speed and natural jumping ability.� After having fallen behind in the national meet, where she had the country’s top mark coming in, Corrin displayed focus and poise to overtake the lead for the victory, Koolsbergen noted. It was a proud moment for her father. “It was one of those moments that I was very happy as a parent just to see how she put in the work and it worked out for her,� he said. For the younger Corrin, jumping to far out distances in the sand pit is not just about adding critical inches but about having fun and letting things happen naturally. “I just love the feeling of being out there,� said Corrin, who believes the height she reaches during her jumps helps her to soar to such distances. Although Corrin is committed to long, busy seasons in both her sports, she still makes time to play oboe in the school band. She began playing music on the piano and has also played the saxophone, but the oboe is different and interesting, she says. Like sports, band playing can be competitive, but it has an academic focus that offers a nice break from the athletic field, Corrin says. “It’s just a great way to relax in a stress-free environment,� she said. While the Corrin youngsters are busy making headlines in their sports, Courtney notes that they keep their academics a priority, adding that athletic careers can be short-lived for many athletes due to injury or other circumstances and they need to have a good education to fall back on. Trying to balance a promising sports future while doing well in school can leave one with minimal free time,

The new and improved terminal will have 18 new and more spacious boarding gates with waiting areas, nine of which will be able to hold super jumbo jets like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus 480. Its customs and immigrations areas will also be upgraded and the new facility is anticipated to accommodate 4,000 passengers per hour. City officials have been candid in the past regarding the international terminal and what they say was its lack of diverse concessions, its outdated design and unexceptional traveler experiences for passengers coming from destinations as far away as Asia and Australia. With the new capital improvements, they now say arriving and departing the terminal will be an experience that travelers will remember. “The Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX is the first and last impression nine million travelers have of Los

the airport,” Myerhoff said. At the press conference, Lindsey talked about the collective efforts that it took to rebuild the Bradley Terminal and used the phrase “it takes a village” to define how the massive project was able to get to its current stage of development. Afterward, she expounded on her remarks. “Every discipline in LAWA had its own role in delivering this,” the airport director told The Argonaut. Lindsey said although there were days when things did not always go as planned, visiting the Bradley Terminal and witnessing the progress firsthand buoyed her spirits. “Every time that I have walked the terminal I come back with a renewed sense of energy,” she said. The terminal welcomed a select group of members of the public two days later, June 22, on LAX Appreciation Day. Bradley’s daughters, Phyllis and Lorraine, joined other family members and dignitaries in a rededication ceremony of their father’s bust in front of the terminal. Villaraigosa, only days away from leaving office, believes the terminal has the city’s stamp firmly on it. “The flavor of Los Angeles is here,” the mayor concluded. The international terminal is slated to open in mid-September.  Gary@ArgonautNews.com

The management firm signed a 17-year contract last year and LAWA estimates that they will receive over $17 million for the first year and over $180 million over the first 10 years of the contract. “Westfield is pleased to bring our global resources and experience in creating iconic shopping destinations to transform LAX, starting here in the new Tom Bradley International Terminal – our global gateway,” said Westfield Group’s Co-Chief Executive Officer Peter Lowy. “We have leveraged Westfield’s awardwinning design capabilities with the best local brands to completely transform the airport experience into the LAX travelers have dreamed of and the LAX they deserve.” Myerhoff said there is an economic component to the improvements at the terminal as well. “Tourism resulted in $16.5 billion in direct spending to Los Angeles in 2012,” he said. “So this piece of infrastructure is a direct investment in our economy.” According to the tourism board, while international travelers make up 22 percent of all tourists to Los Angeles, they make up 35 percent of all spending by tourists. “Having a great experience will not factor into how tourists make their vacation plans to Los Angeles, but what will directly increase tourism is the number of people who can move through

After eight years of public service, Rosendahl says goodbye to council

Councilman BILL ROSENDAHL at one of his last public events at the dedication of Del Rey Square in April. The councilman will leave office after two terms June 28.

By Gary Walker People in high-profile positions can often trace a roadmap to how they arrived at where they are and the circumstances that led them to pursue their chosen career. Los Angeles Councilman Bill Rosendahl, known for his energetic personality, his everpresent smile and passionate advocacy for his constituents, was led to a life serving the public due to events as a teenager and as a young adult. Shaped by these life moments, some of them fraught with tragedy, he built a legacy on the City Council as a champion for veterans, local grassroots democracy and citizen empowerment.

Argonaut days before his last council meeting, Friday, June 28, the councilman reflected on his eight years in office, his highs and lows and his plans for the future. Like a number of baby boomers that chose politics as a profession, Rosendahl began at the grassroots level, getting involved in civil rights protests beginning in the early 1960s in his hometown of Englewood, NJ. “As a teenager, I noticed that African-Americans, who made up a quarter of the city, were being abused,” the councilman recalled. “So I got involved in the civil rights movement because social issues do impact me and I feel a responsibility to get

1968 was also the year another leader was assassinated, civil rights icon Martin Luther King, Jr., another of Rosendahl’s heroes. But their deaths did not dim his optimism for the future; instead they fueled his passion for public service and he began to contemplate a future run for public office. “That soaring energy from those great men, who I had the honor of meeting, has stayed with me,” he said. “I’m just grateful that I had the opportunity to meet them and learn from them.” His career trajectory took him from counseling veterans during the Vietnam War as a psychiatric counselor to a broadcaster and

“The joy of relating, interacting and then becoming friends with complete strangers and building positive energy and trying to do things better is what kept me going during those eight years.”

— Bill Rosendahl

Set to run for a third term last year, Rosendahl learned nearly a year ago that he was afflicted with cancer of the ureter. Already a diabetic and well into the sixth decade of his life, Rosendahl, 68, announced his retirement from public office in September to fight the cancer, which is now in remission. He leaves office with a slew of accomplishments during his time representing Council District 11, which includes Venice, Del Rey, Mar Vista, Playa del Rey, Playa Vista and Westchester, many of which will continue beyond his tenure on the city’s governing body. In an interview with The

engaged when there is an issue that I don’t like.” After graduating from Saint Vincent College in Pennsylvania with a degree in political science and economics, Rosendahl was chosen as a field director at age 22 for the presidential campaign of Sen. Robert Kennedy, where he cut his teeth on national politics. The future city councilman was at the former Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on the night that Kennedy was assassinated after winning the California Democratic primary in 1968, an event that still haunts Rosendahl today and had a hand in shaping his political career.

later an executive at Adelphia Communications, where Rosendahl hosted a public affairs cable television show for 16 years. Elected to the City Council in 2005, Rosendahl said one of the accomplishments that he considers to be among his finest is assisting a high-ranking member of the GabrielinoTongva tribe in reburying his ancestors, whose remains were languishing in a storage container at Playa Vista. The developer of the planned community came across the sacred remains during construction and a stalemate over what to do with them created a

well of animosity between the tribe and Playa Vista. “We really needed someone who could talk to the opposition, and that person was Bill Rosendahl,” recalled Robert Dorame, the most likely descendent of the Gabrielino/ Tongva Native American tribe. “He was the mediator between all the Indians and Playa Vista.” After learning about Dorame’s ancestors, Rosendahl used the power of his office to force the developer to help obtain a burial site, which is located in Phase I of Playa Vista. Over 1,320 bundled ancestral remains reentered the ground Dec. 13, 2008. “When I found out that there were sacred remains in cardboard boxes in a trailer, I knew that the Native Americans would be very upset, and I knew I had to act,” Rosendahl remembered. Dorame said Rosendahl was the only elected official who ever listened or cared about his plight. “There’s only one politician who reassured me that this would take place and that we would rebury our ancestors, and Councilman Rosendahl has earned the reputation of being a man of his word,” he said. Rosendahl has presided over a number of environmental projects, two skateboard parks, has helped place dozens of homeless in temporary and permanent shelter and shepherded the creation of a number of affordable housing units. One such project is at Del Rey Square on Culver Boulevard in Del Rey that bears his name, the Bill Rosendahl Senior Housing Community. The building has Section 8 units, tax-credit and public housing units, as well as spaces dedicated to transition for 31 formerly homeless civilians and veterans. Mark Redick is a former Del Rey Neighborhood Council president and was on the board when the project was greenlighted. “There was a token opposition to Del Rey Square, but they are now in support if it,” said Redick, who worked in conjunction with the councilman on the project. “It would not have happened without Councilman Rosendahl.” Venice Neighborhood Council President Linda Lucks called Rosendahl a “larger than life figure whose presence fills a room.” Lucks pointed out that the councilman had been a television broadcaster and she feels that helped him make the transition to the council. “Having been a TV celebrity,

the City Council bully pulpit was a perfect vehicle for him to use on behalf of his constituents and for other causes he championed,” she said. “Bill and I have had a good working relationship even when we disagreed on policy issues, which happens when people are opinionated and passionate about their communities.” Like Lucks, David Ewing, another Venice resident, disagreed with the councilman’s position on the city-driven attempt to implement overnight parking districts in Venice, which was unanimously rejected by the California Coastal Commission earlier this month. “I think he thought that it would be an easy fix and then it seemed like he felt betrayed,” Ewing said. The Venice resident said he found it “absurd” that Rosendahl framed the fight for the parking districts as a “civil rights issue.” “This was especially absurd coming from someone representing some of the most privileged people in the city who have a number of protections by living in the coastal zone,” Ewing added.

SACRED CEREMONY – COUNCILMAN BILL ROSENDAHL at the reburial of over 1,300 Gabrielino Tongva Native American ancestral remains. At left is Robert Dorame and Chief Anthony Morales.

Rosendahl was the first Westside councilman to have signs installed identifying his communities, and neighborhood leaders say it has proven to be much more than a symbolic gesture. Redick says the signs that Rosendahl had installed gave Del Rey, a community that was previously relatively unknown, a sense of identity. “I give a tremendous amount of credit to the councilman and (former Del Rey deputy) Nicole Velasquez for what they did getting the signage identifying Del Rey,� said Redick, who is now vice president of the Neighborhood Council of Westchester-Playa. “Not only did it give a huge boost to the community’s spirit, it also built a sense of community equity.� A staunch supporter and outspoken advocate of neighborhood councils, Rosendahl had the reputation of insisting that all potential projects come before the community’s respective neighborhood boards before the applicant approached his office. “Bill listened to the concerns of the neighborhood councils in Council District 11 and required most development projects and issues of community concern to be vetted through our councils,� Lucks said. Despite their opposite positions on the overnight parking districts, Lucks said they were still able to work together on other important neighborhood concerns, including allowing homeless men and women to store their belongings in Venice while they entered the county winter shelter. “Even when we disagreed, he was always available to meet and talk and I appreciated his candor,� said Lucks. “Bill Rosendahl will be long remembered and we in Venice wish him good health and joy in the coming years and know he will stay involved.�

Asked if he was leaving office with any regrets, Rosendahl responded, “None at all. And that’s the best part of it. The joy of relating, interacting and then becoming friends with complete strangers and building positive energy and trying to do things better is what kept me going during those eight years. “So there are no regrets at all.â€? The soon-to-be ex-councilman said his world will definitely be different after June 28. “It will be traumatic because I loved it and I love my constituents,â€? he admitted. “My goal is to continue to function and to help people as much as I can.â€? While Los Angeles City Hall may be the last stop on the legislative line for Rosendahl, the curtain has not drawn on his final engagement with the public. He has been in touch with many wellconnected friends and contacts made over a lifetime in public service and the private sector and is considering his options after he leaves office. “I’m not finished yet. At least I hope I’m not,â€? he said with the ever-present Rosendahl smile. “I’m going to take it one day at a time and I want to continue to be engaged in the world around me.â€? He said he has been approached to start a foundation. “So that’s a possibility, with a mission statement that I believe in, that might be a direction where I go,â€? the councilman said. Another possibility is a return to broadcasting. “I’ve been approached by a university to possibly do public affairs shows again,â€? Rosendahl said. “Every day is a blessing. And all we have is the moment. So I don’t know what the future holds, but I’m looking forward to it with a positive attitude.â€?  Gary@ArgonautNews.com

Bringing the funk to Lincoln Boulevard

Eric Zayne makes his live solo debut at the Witzend in Venice By Michael Aushenker Pop singer/songwriter Eric Zayne, who plays the Witzend in Venice Friday, June 28, remembers the void from which his musicianship emerged at a very young age. Zayne’s parents, of Spanish/ Morrocan and French/Polish descent, had relocated to the Congo in Africa because of his father’s job for an electronics giant. It was during this idyllic time in Zayne’s youth when his dad pushed music on him and his siblings. Then, all hell broke loose. “There was a war and I was evacuated,” Zayne recalled. He couldn’t have been more than 9 or 10 years old when his idyllic life in Africa was uprooted and he was sent to Montreal ahead of his parents. It was there in Canada – sans immediate family – that the love for music his father had instilled in him began to flourish. “I really felt the separation,” Zayne remembered. “It made me look at life from a whole different perspective. Suddenly I heard these symphonies in my head.” Zayne sought any instrument he could get his hands on – piano, guitar, drums – and began teaching himself how to play. “I started feeling this calling for music. It wasn’t something I had planned on doing as a kid.” But that’s exactly what happened, and recently, the What If Records recording artist released his debut single, “Maneater,” on iTunes. On June 28, he will make his solo concert debut at 10 p.m. at the Witzend, 1717 Lincoln Blvd. By his teens, Zayne played all over Montreal, “five bands at a time,” performing Brazilian,

jazz and rock music. Three years later, a musician approached Zayne and said, “We heard about you. We need a member to play keys and sing.” “My bags were ready,” Zayne told The Argonaut. For the next five years, Zayne played gigs all over Asia: Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines and Thailand. He performed in two different funk-pop groups, Fusion Three and Drop Zone. By the mid-2000s, “I wanted to develop myself as a producer,” Zayne said. “I wanted to get away from all that influence and hone my skill as a songwriter and producer. I moved to Vancouver, invested all my money in equipment.” Zayne views his time in Vancouver as “a development stage for me,” but he soon realized that he wasn’t being challenged enough. “As a musician, I want to be around great musicians… that bring out the best out in you,” he said. A year ago, Zayne, a die-hard Prince fan whose recent favorites have included the Neighborhood, Miguel and White Arrows, relocated to the Mid-City area of Los Angeles with the goal to hit the clubs and “see something that just inspires me, daily.” He says he has found L.A.’s music scene much more fulfilling. “You leave the grey skies of Vancouver for the sunny skies of L.A. so that affects you psychology,” said Zayne, who, in the last year, has spent a lot of time discovering new friends and places to catch live music. Evidently, he was successful in raising his A-game: the talents on “Maneater,” lead single to his upcoming debut solo album (due in September) include musicians who have worked with Justin Timberlake, Lil Wayne, Shakira,

POP SINGER-SONGWRITER Eric Zayne will perform songs from his upcoming EP during his solo debut at Witzend in Venice June 28.

Marc Anthony and Natasha Bedingfield as well as Grammywinning mixer Jason Schweitzer. In the past, Zayne has worked with bassist Jae Deal (Lady Gaga) and guitarist Brady Cohan (“American Idol’s” house band). He’s also jammed with Matisyahu, Dragonette, The Stereos and Ace of Base. Fueled on such influences as his house party DJ older brother, Rom, and funk masters Parliament-Funkadelic, Stevie

Wonder, Sly and the Family Stone and Prince, Zayne incorporates the rhythms from his African upbringing as well as elements of electronica. “My goal is to play a lot and have a kick-ass show,” he said of this Friday’s Witzend show, during which he will break in the tunes he is recording for his upcoming eight-song EP. “We’ve been working really hard to make it tight.” Zayne, will sing and play

guitar and keyboards at the Venice concert. He promises an “organic mix of edgier rock with funk and electronic. I enjoy blending radio songs that are really catchy but that translate live; funk, rock, jazz, even some reggae. I try to incorporate all of that.” Information, witzendlive. com.

A show for safety’s sake

Third annual LAPD Car Show to raise money for educational programming, car seats By Michael Aushenker On New Year’s Eve 2010, a young couple was fatally injured at the intersection of Florence Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard in Los Angeles when a drunk driver plowed into them. The remaining wreckage – which only vaguely resembles an automobile – has served as a sober reminder in PAGE 12 THE ARGONAUT June 27, 2013

Los Angeles Police Department-staged school assemblies warning teens about the dangers of drinking and texting while driving. This year, a relative of the deceased has been part of the lecture to hit home to budding motorists that driving a car is serious business. “We don’t get any money from the city,” said LAPD South Traffic Division

Officer Kevin Scott. “We run a program every Wednesday. With an appointment, we will properly install your baby seat. (Most) seats are installed improperly.” In replacing the worn-out, tattered car seats, LAPD, on occasion, will donate seats to lower income parents in need. The Rollin’ South Traffic Style car show, which returns to Westchester for its

third year on Saturday, June 29, will help raise funds for LAPD programs such as educational school assemblies and the car seats. “The funds will purchase child seats, organize and deliver traffic safety education in the schools and throughout the community,” Scott said.

VENICE ART CRAWL

In 1989, while on a visit to Mexico, Crowley came across the original tequila factory in Atotonilco El Alto. “He took their whole supply (5,000 cases),” Edelstein said. “He came up with the name, the label. We had no idea what we were getting into.” Organically, one of the most popular brands of alcohol in the world was born. “We were indulging our creative side,” she recalled. “Martin was the true entrepreneur. He did nothing for fun. Every thing became a tangible thing, even if he didn’t consciously decide to do it.” In certain circles, Marina del Rey in the 1980s represented sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll – or, at least, a lot of partying, she remembered. During that decadent era, Crowley and Edelstein partied like rock stars – and with rock stars: Clarence “Big Man” Clemons from Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band flew in on Edelstein’s 45th birthday to serenade her by saxophone. One of the earliest Patrón parties in Beverly Hills featured actors Cheech Marin, James Woods, and Woods’ buddy, David Carradine. When a crasher showed up, Carradine put his arm around the interloper and jumped into the pool, taking the guy into the brink with him.

What Bacardi reportedly paid for Crowley’s half was more than their $175-million initial offer and passed down through generations of families.

As the longtime companion of Martin Crowley, onehalf of the partnership which spawned the Patrón empire, former Marina del Rey resident Ilana Edelstein was not only witness to the entire success story, she was a silent partner in it. In her new memoir, “The Patrón Way: From Fantasy to Fortune - Lessons on Taking Any Business from Idea to Iconic Brand,” Edelstein outlines the rise and sale of Patrón, with all of the intoxicating highlights – and the sobering pitfalls – that came along the way. “I was just there by default,” Edelstein said of her role in the company’s success. “I was involved every step of the way, from designing to setting up the whole corporation.” Edelstein will hold a reception for her book from

Double-edged ‘swords’

New exhibit at Blue Seven broadens definition of what constitutes a weapon By Michael Aushenker

They say the pen is mightier than the sword. Now you can throw in the brush and the chisel, too. Since June 8, Blue Seven Art Gallery in Santa Monica has presented Swords and Plowshares, a group show featuring works by artists Stanley Bemis, Timothy Kitz, Lynne Roulff, Sergio Tornero, Allen Aldrich, Payam Safaei, and the exhibit’s curators, Lucious Peterson and Randy Ball. A reception has been scheduled for Saturday, June 29. According to organizers, the title of the art show, which runs through Aug. 3, refers to “the variety and ambivalent nature of weapons.” “In times of peace, that peace is threatened to take the plowshares, straighten them out and MELODY BAR – hosts “Hound Dog Dave and the turn them into swords,” Michael Cascadden, Mel-tones,” a four-piece American music band one of the exhibiting artists, explained, consisting of electric guitar, bass guitar, harmonica, expanding on the title’s Biblical reference singing and cocktail snare. This engaging combo from which the theme is derived. “Victory not combines harmonious elements of blues, jazz, enough needs for defense, turning the swords Roots Music, Rock ‘N’ Roll, Old School, folk back into plowshares is the most beneficial and a bit of country to a fine tuned and energetic use of that weapon.

He also weighed in on the work of some of his exhibiting colleagues: collage artist Bemis “skillfully juxtaposes images from classical and pop art illustrating how ancient emotions are magnified by weaponry,” Ball said. “And he seems to ask if the resulting pain and destruction solves anything or just continues the cycle of violence. “Lynne Roulff created a painting of a terrible new, but old, weapon: a pressure

cooker,” Ball continued, alluding to the household item at the heart of April’s Boston Marathon bombings. While affixing touches to his work at Blue Seven, Cascadden spoke to The Argonaut about his installation, Special Delivery. “The invitations were already printed” for the exhibit when Cascadden poked his head into the gallery, which he previously exhibited at with other group shows and as a solo artist. Catching the show in progress, he told Ball he had an idea and wound up collaborating with him on the installation. Cascadden embarked on “a two-week marathon to get this ready,” he said. With Ball, Cascadden – who has studied at Santa Monica College’s Arts and Architecture school, UCLA, and Otis College of Art and Design (back when it was located near downtown) – affixed a rotating Lazy Susan, a shooting target and a glass table to his piece. Ball also collaborated with Peterson on a sculpture using a defunct weapon to depict “a World War II bomber and the destruction of the crew and the enemy.” “The show is not an anti-weapon exhibit but rather on how items are repurposed from combat to collaboration and visa-versa,” he explained. There’s no word yet on who the “target” audience is for this show. But visitors are welcome to hit the reception and see for themselves whether or not Blue Seven’s latest showcase scores a bull’s-eye. Blue Seven Art Gallery is at 3129 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica.

Division, given the significant increase in accidents due to “distracted driving� while texting and holding a cell phone, which is against the law. Accidents from texting and cell phone use while driving are particularly vexing to law enforcement officials, who believe such crashes can easily be avoided by focused driving. “All you need is a Bluetooth,� Scott said. “The majority of new cars have Bluetooth still in the car and all you need to do is push a button,� Scott said, reflecting on the up-tick in crashes as a result of these 21st century ways to distract one’s self. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 3,331 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver in 2011, up from 3,267 in 2010. An additional 387,000 people were injured in said crashes. Nearly 20 percent of crashes reported in 2010 were designated distraction accidents, and 11 percent of all drivers under the age of 20 involved in

fatal crashes fall into distracted driver accident categories. On its website, the traffic safety administration adds that texting while driving is roughly six times more likely to invite accidents than driving while intoxicated. Participants who want to enter their cars and motorcycles in the Rollin’ South Traffic Style show are welcome. Vehicles will be judged and winners are awarded trophies. All paid vehicle entries receive a free T-shirt and goodie bag. “If you’re a car enthusiast,� said Scott, “you’ll find 26 different categories of entries, from very old to very new, exotic, foreign – it runs the gamut. We also have a motorcycle run.� There will also be live music and a DJ, games, prizes, foods and drinks. More than 300 cars are expected to take part, and the event will include 18wheelers, nostalgic police cars and a motorcycle show. “Those guys put 150K on those things, they’re houses on wheels,� Scott said, musing over the tricked-out big rig cabs.

By Gary Walker Parents with students in the Los Angeles Unified School District seeking to change the dynamics of their school by pulling the socalled “parent trigger� will now find it a bit more challenging following a vote by the district’s Board of Education June 18. Acting on a resolution by LAUSD Board Member Steve Zimmer, the district will now be required to independently verify signatures and how they are collected. The organization that has been involved in what they and their supporters say has been exercising parental rights under the law, the Parent Revolution, has come under fire from its critics for its methods in assisting parents in taking over schools. The Parent Empowerment Law, which took effect April 12, 2010, allows parents of students in certain persistently low-achieving schools to petition local school districts to implement specified reforms in the school, which could include closure of the institution or the takeover by a charter organization. In order to enforce the “parent trigger,� more than 50 percent of parents at a school must sign a petition requesting the change. Zimmer’s resolution will require evidence of public notice and a summary of information to be presented at a public meeting held in the school community detailing accurate information about the school and the available options for transformation. In addition, a summary of interventions attempted at the school site and an analysis of the success or failure of these attempted interventions must be provided, as well as an analysis of the targeted school’s report card and five years of school data. “We’re mostly disappointed with the school board’s vote,� said Parent Revolution Deputy Director Gabe Rose, who has accused some school site personnel of “harassing and intimidating� parents seeking to organize and draft petitions to utilize the parental law. “It’s unfortunate that LAUSD said ‘no’ to protecting parents and their rights,� he said. Karen Wolfe, a Venice parent whose children attend Marina Del Rey Middle School in Del Rey, said the most critical part of the resolution is the inclusion of a public transparent process. “Just as a restaurant owner engages the neighbors in a public process when he/she intensifies its use by selling beer and wine or extending business hours, or a real estate developer posts public notices about a project that will impact the community, so too should a school that serves the community provide an open, reliable, transparent process,� she said. “We support public meetings and public notice of school data – whether in relation to Parent Trigger campaigns or otherwise – that give LAUSD parents more information on the state of their children’s schools,� Rose said. The state Board of Education announced new regulations July 13, 2011 on parental power pertaining to school choice and clarified guidelines for those seeking to use the parent trigger. Eligible schools include schools that are not one of the persistently lowest-achieving schools identified by the state Board of Education; have been in corrective action pursuant to paragraph (7) of Section 1116(b) of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act for at least one full

A RESOLUTION BY LAUSD BOARD MEMBER STEVE ZIMMER calls for a public hearing before the “parent trigger� can be used.

academic year; have failed to make adequate yearly progress; and have an Academic Performance Index (API) score of less than 800. Wolfe said she does not believe the Parent Empowerment Act has not been used for parents’ or schools’ benefit. “It has been about moving power from LAUSD and (the United Teachers Los Angeles, the district’s teacher union) to the Parent Revolution,â€? she asserted. At the board meeting, parents at 24th Street and Weigant Avenue Elementary schools testified that organizers from the Parent Revolution lied to them in order to obtain their signatures. In the past, UTLA authorities and members of the Parent Revolution have traded insults and accusations about how signatures are gathered at certain schools. During his tenure, outgoing Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was an outspoken proponent of the Parent Empowerment Law. “I hope to see more parents throughout Los Angeles and California take action to set higher standards for our students and achieve better results for our neighborhood schools,â€? Villaraigosa said after the state guidelines were announced two years ago. Zimmer, who represents Westchester, Venice, Del Rey and Mar Vista schools, could not be reached for comment. But in a previous interview, he stated that while he believes strongly in parental choice, he has one major disagreement with the Parent Revolution. “My line in the sand has always been, and where I disagree with the Parent Revolution is that there is a big difference between parents who are matriculating to a school and parents who already have children who are enrolled in that same school,â€? he asserted. The school board member was referring to the actions of parents who do not have children in a particular school but seek to take over or “turn aroundâ€? that school, a charge that has been leveled at the Parent Revolution. Rose said his organization will continue to assist parents who wish take to advantage of the Parent Empowerment Act at their schools.  Gary@ArgonautNews.com

Q&A

Q: What advice can you give us to make our environment “greener?”

A: Establishing eco-friendly habits can be a challenge, especially since much of what we read and hear is inaccurate, confusing or even conflicting. Read on to uncover the truth behind some of the most popular green myths. Eco-friendly cleaning items are pricey. – There’s usually not much of a cost difference between the two. Alternatively, you can spend less by making your own cleaning products with vinegar and baking soda. All non-organic food has the same amount of pesticides. – If you can’t always afford to buy organic produce, there’s good news. Certain foods, such as onions and avocados, contain lower levels of pesticides and are therefore not as important to buy organic. Visit the Environmental Working Group’s website for the complete list of the “Dirty Dozen” and “Clean 15.”

If a food is labeled “natural,” it has met certain standards. – “Natural” has become a fashionable marketing tactic for new foods and beverages, but don’t be fooled by this label. The FDA and USDA have no formal definition for “natural” foods (except for meat and poultry). All plastic products can be recycled. – Each recycling facility is different. Contact yours to find out what kinds of plastics they accept, or search earth911. com to find recycling centers near you. Appliances don’t use electricity when they’re turned off. – Some devices, like televisions and microwaves, draw “standby power” when turned off. The only way to stop this is to unplug the device. Mulch for Low Maintenance – Mulch, mulch, mulch is the mantra of gardeners, especially in a hot summer climate like that of southern California.

This allegiance to mulching is based on our being protective, economical, inventive, and efficient. Protective because we don’t want our garden soil and plants to be stressed during the heat of summer. Economical because we’d rather not pay exorbitant water bills. It’s inventive because many readily available materials can be used as mulch. And efficient, since mulch is one of the best friends a gardener who wants a low maintenance landscape can have. Let’s face it – none of us wants to be out in the garden watering in 90degree weather! The Many Benefits of Mulch – Mulching plants keeps soil moisture and temperature more constant. Plants and earthworms thrive when they endure fewer water and temperature extremes. A 2- to 4- inch thick layer of mulch decreases evaporation from the soil by 70 percent or more. This allows

grounds, oak leave, and pine needles are excellent mulches to use around acidloving plants such as azaleas, camellias, blueberries, and rhododendrons. Use That Grass – Grass clippings can be used for mulch during any season of the year. However, fresh clippings contain so much moisture that they should be allowed to dry before being spread more than 1 inch thick. If piled deeper than that, great care should be taken to avoid compressing them until they’re thoroughly dry or they’ll form an impervious mat that begins to decompose anaerobically (without air), which smells bad and attracts garden pests. Spreading out the grass clippings easily solves the problem so they can dry and decompose properly. This week’s question was answered by Linda Black, Coldwell Banker Marina/Venice, (310) 804 – 6432.

James Allan Closes Over $10,000,000 in Sales Coldwell Banker recently congratulated James Allan on closing over $10,000,000 in sales for the first half of the year and being ranked again in the top 1% for all Realtors nationwide.

His total sales volume to date exceeds $200 million, including the sale of an $8 million-dollar estate in Beverly Hills to the Prince of Morocco. Information, James Allan, Coldwell Banker Marina/Venice, (310) 704 – 0007.

you to water less often. Keep mulch several inches away from tree trunks and plant stems, however, for good air circulation and to reduce the risk of crown rot. Mulch keeps gardens weed free by excluding the light that seeds need to germinate and grow. Mulch prevents erosion by protecting the surface of the soil from rain and wind. As organic mulch decomposes into humus, it improves soil structure and fertility. Mulch in pathways softens the walking surface. What to Use – Types of organic mulches include grass clippings, wood chips, shredded bark, compost, plant clippings, coffee grounds, tree leaves (including pine needles), and shredded newspaper. These materials will decompose and enrich the soil. Keep in mind that the smaller the pieces of mulch, the shorter the time they take to decompose. Coffee grounds, tea

Venice

Italian artist finds inspiration in eclectic beachside community

The cover for “Venice Bikes,” a book of Michele Castagnetti photographs documenting the eccentric bikes in Venice.

By Beatrice Rosen Michele Castagnetti, tired of New York City’s frigid winters and cut-throat work environment, packed up his bags and advertising agency business and headed out to Venice. To his surprise, the vibrant and eclectic beachside community not only provided sand, sun and leisure, but also the inspiration to pursue his suppressed passion: fine art. Now, 10 years later, Castagnetti’s artwork constantly appears throughout a number of Los Angeles galleries and international exhibitions, including haleARTS Space in Santa Monica, Art of Studio in Venice, and Las Laguna Gallery in Laguna Beach. “I think coming to Venice and being surrounded by so many artists, some good and some bad, totally inspired me because you are inspired by the good ones and motivated by the bad ones,” Castagnetti says. “It’s also easy to do because you have the space to do it, like on your balcony or in your garden, unlike New York, where I didn’t do one painting.” From geometric and conceptual acrylic paintings to photography, prints and mixed media, Castagnetti likes to experiment. “I like to change media and I like to change style rather than those artists who just do one thing their entire lives until they die because I don’t think that’s very creative,” he says. His most recent work is rooted in aspects of the Venice “way of life,” conveyed through a photographic book entitled “Venice Bikes” and a series of posters. “Venice Bikes” was inspired by

“New York Bikes,” Castagnetti’s first book of photographs compiled during his decade in New York. Sold throughout bookstores in Manhattan, “New York Bikes” documents strictly abandoned bikes in high-contrast black and white photography. “Venice Bikes,” on the other hand, focuses on the creative and eccentric way Venetians customize their bikes. “People in New York are too angry and stressed out to customize anything,” Castagnetti comments. “Here you have bells, harnesses to hold surfboards, all sorts of funny cup holders, sails and flags, even living necessities, and no one in New York had that.” Castagnetti further stuck with the city theme by creating a series of Venice posters inspired by 1960s-era travel posters from Europe. Both “Venice Bikes” and the posters are now part of #Venice(Un)Entitled, a collaborative multimedia gallery show that documents the dramatic transformation of Venice Beach from an area rampant with crime to a glowing tourist destination over the course of 12 years. On display at Venice’s Art of Studio, the closing show for #Venice(Un)Entitled is on Thursday, June 27 from 6 to 9 p.m., but Castagnetti will also be signing “Venice Bikes” books at the studio on Sunday, July 7 from 2 to 5 p.m. Photographer and Art of Studio owner Kwaku Alston says Castagnetti’s book and posters “are definitely selling, and people really do like them.” They are both also sold on his web store at kwakushop.com.

“Venice Bikes” is additionally sold at haleARTS Space, a gallery in Santa Monica, and owner, award-winning interior designer and artist Michael Hale, is a huge fan of Castagnetti’s work. “It’s a great magazine-style book; it’s absolutely phenomenal, and the photographs are great,” Hale says. “I think his Venice Beach style posters are wonderful as well, so we want to add that to our online gallery.” The works are not the first of Castagnetti’s to show at haleARTS Space. In May, he contributed a series of prints inspired by 1970sera wallpaper to a four-person show. Entitled Systems, the series hovers between minimalism, abstraction, geometry, stasis and dynamism, while its visual energy of sensuous, buoyant hues makes an instant impact with a vivid sense of spatial illusion, according to Hale. “His prints are amazing and extremely meticulous, and he is one of those masters that are able to capture a very graphic design style in physical and painted form,” Hale admires. “Many artists that are getting the actual output he gets are doing it through computers, but he is doing it by hand.” Castagnetti’s recent geometric and conceptual brush strokes divulge from the artistic techniques demonstrated in his first show in 2005 at Venice’s Red House Gallery, which is no longer in business. Entitled Femme Fatale, the exhibition featured a series of large mixed media pieces, averaging 48-by-60 inches. The Femme Fatale series consists of various photographs of women, or “muses” as Castagnetti calls them, that are printed, mounted on canvas and painted over. One of the pieces, Kemp Muhl, will be auctioned at the Fourth Annual Art Project Los Angeles benefitting AIDS Project Los Angeles on June 29 from 7 to 10 p.m. at Bonhams, 7601 W. Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. Rene, another piece from the series, will be shown at Las Laguna Gallery in Laguna Beach, with an opening reception for the overall group show on July 6 from 7 to 10 p.m. While Castagnetti has been successful in a landscape where the word “starving” stereotypically accompanies the job title “artist,” that is not his main profession. He works full-time as an art director for his own company, Acrylic Airlines, and does his painting on the weekends. “I feel lucky that I’m motivated to do a full-time job, and that gives me the time and resources to do art on the side,” Castagnetti says. His initial artistic inclination for graphic design developed when he was 15 years old, living in his home country of Italy. After one year of studying graphic design

Castagnetti’s work Rene, part of the Femme Fatale series, is done with printed photographs mounted on canvas and painted over.

at a private school in Milan, Castagnetti also developed a love for modern art. Thus, he travelled overseas to visit the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Two weeks later, Castagnetti was a registered student at the city’s Fashion Institute of Technology. He graduated four years later with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts, and began working for a number of New York advertising agencies. Yet something was still missing. “As an ad designer, it’s kind of frustrating because when you make everyone happy with what you do, you are doing some work that is compromised,” Castagnetti says. “Whereas if you do your own expression you are doing something that’s uncompromised, and you can put out any kind of message that you want without having an editor cut it down or modify it.” Upon moving to Venice and starting Acrylic Airlines, where he works on the art direction of movie posters, advertising campaigns, art exhibitions and films for studios like Paramount and Universal, Castagnetti found the time, money, resources and inspiration to publicly share his own message through art. “Here you’re exposed to art of different sorts and styles and mediums that you just want to contribute and do your own thing,” he says. Castagnetti never had, or has, money in mind when he works

outside of his ad agency business. Rather, he began painting with the initial desire to have his artwork on the walls of a gallery. “I thought it would be the ultimate thing, regardless if you sell your work or not,” he says. Now, that initial dream is a distant memory as one can not only find Castagnetti’s artwork scattered throughout Los Angeles galleries, but also at numerous charity auctions. This includes nonprofit organizations such as AIDS Project Los Angeles, Angel Food and Wright Girl. “Really any nonprofit organization that approaches me, I donate a piece to it because I think they really make a tangible effort in Los Angeles,” Castagnetti says. As for the future, he plans to create limited editions of “Venice Bikes” with new photographs, and continue experimenting with paint, prints and mixed media in his studio. After all, Castagnetti sees no reason to wander from the path he started on 10 years ago when he moved out to Venice. From ad agency art director by weekday to distinguished Los Angeles artist by weekend, Castagnetti says he found the life he was always searching for in this liberal and aesthetic community.

LAX

Air quality study says pollutant levels within standards A multi-phase study on air quality surrounding Los Angeles International Airport has found that major air pollutant levels do not exceed national and state air quality standards. The recently released Air Quality and Source Apportionment Study report for LAX was designed and continuously reviewed by a technical working group of air quality scientists and researchers on the federal, state and local levels, as well as community organizations, airport officials said. According to the study, the levels of all major air pollutants measured, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, and fine particulate matter, were within national and California air quality standards. The study also found that concentrations of all major as well as other pollutants measured were comparable or lower than concentrations in other similar areas of Los Angeles. The study, which was a multi-year project, is the first of its kind in the nation to comprehensively assess a major airport’s contribution to ambient air quality levels in communities nearby, airport officials said. “During the time it took to conduct this study, there were many instances when it became clear we were pushing the capabilities of science to definitively allocate air emissions sources and distribution,” said Airport Commission President Michael Lawson. “LAWA appreciates the hard work of the scientists who conducted the study and the technical working group who helped design it.

Because of their efforts, we know much more than when we started this process.” A variety of monitoring equipment and modeling techniques were used to complete the study. The monitoring was done in two six-week sampling seasons in winter/spring 2012 and summer 2012. More than 121,000 data points were collected at 17 core, satellite, and gradient monitoring sites in the communities adjacent to LAX, including El Segundo, Lennox, Playa del Rey and Westchester, officials noted. “LAWA deserves credit for completing this air quality study. It took a lot of time, effort and resources. The researchers gathered more information about the air quality impacts of airport operations than anyone has ever collected,” noted Joe Lyou, president and CEO of Coalition for Clean Air, and South Coast Air Quality Management District Governing Board member. “There is a lot of important information in this study. Some of it is good news. Some of it raises concerns that suggest where to focus next. All of it is useful.” The report, which was presented to the Board of Airport Commissioners at its June 18 meeting, is available for public review online at www. lawa.org/airqualitystudy, at Councilman Bill Rosendahl’s district office, 7166 W. Manchester Ave. in Westchester, and at the Westchester-Loyola Village Branch Library, 7114 W. Manchester Ave. in Westchester.

to be a greater concern to parents than terrorism. What happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut was a reminder that guns and people do not mix. The massacre at Columbine High School in Colorado was a wake-up call, but we seemed to go back to sleep. The shootings at schools and campuses have Americans wondering if their community and kids will be next. This is a trend that has to stop. The National Rifle Association has often said that “Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.” That is bull. The truth is that people use guns to kill other people and they have done so in record numbers. Society is out of control when it comes to violence and guns are a major part of the problem. The NRA and their faithful gun-loving followers have never had an answer to the problem except to remind the rest of us of their rights as gun owners. They and the NRA always use the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States Bill of Rights as proof of their “right” to bear arms. The Second Amendment is outdated and assault weapons and other weapons used to kill have no place in society. Such guns are only used to kill people. We the majority of the citizens of this country have had enough of gun violence and the

deaths of so many innocent people, including children, because of guns. If the NRA and others won’t help in solving the problem, we the people will solve it for them. Enough is enough. George Vreeland Hill Beverly Hills

Three reactions to mayor-elect appearance

Re: “Garcetti receives warm Westside welcome,” (Argonaut, June 20). Eric Garcetti is the new mayor of Los Angeles. Haven’t you heard? Most people did not vote, and most people probably do not care. I have three reasons why: “Yawn. Shrug. Meh.” “Yawn”: Garcetti gave some wan responses in spite of the warm welcome he received in Mar Vista last week. He has voted against the expansion of the Los Angeles International Airport runway northward, yet his plan to extend Metro transit to the region still faces roadblocks. Former L.A. Mayor Sam Yorty had suggested creating commuter flights and airport expansion in the LancasterPalmdale region. No one lives in many of the desert recesses of northern Los Angeles County. How then does the mayor-elect elect to

expand the international traffic at the airport, if he opposes on-the-ground expansions? “Shrug”: Garcetti opposes opposition to community care facilities, including sober living homes, in low-density and residential areas. Frankly, why has he not pressed for decriminalizing drugs and ending prosecution for drug possession in the first place? This policy would galvanize conservatives and liberals while freeing up public resources and bringing down California’s excessive prison populations. As for veterans’ affairs, Garcetti should start holding Rep. Henry Waxman accountable for his lack of oversight of the Brentwood Veterans Administration facility, which still lags behind in redevelopment and renovation. “Meh”: For all the great ideas proffered by Westside residents, they forgot to consider one key initiative, one which we need to hear more about: allow Mar Vista, Playa Vista and Playa del Rey residents, along with other communities on the Westside, to bid a warm and wellneeded farewell from Los Angeles. From plastic bag bans, to traffic congestion, to failing schools, to pension crises unchecked, to unionpowered uninhibited, Los Angeles may be a city too big to fail, yet has now become too big to run. Arthur Christopher Schaper Torrance

L.A. City Council approves ban on plastic shopping bags Los Angeles has become the largest city in the nation to prohibit single-use plastic bags after the City Council gave final approval June 25 to a ban on their distribution at grocery stores, convenience stores and pharmacies. Shoppers will soon be required to bring reusable shopping bags or to pay 10 cents per paper bag. The ordinance, which will be phased in, will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2014 for large stores and July 1, 2014 for smaller stores. Los Angeles joins a number of other California cities that have enacted similar bans, including Santa Monica. According to the environmental organization Heal the Bay, one in four Californians now live in a city that has enacted curbs against single-use bags. Environmentalists hailed the plastic bag ban by the second largest city in the U.S. “Today, our city became a model for our state and the rest of the nation,� said Kirsten James, Heal the Bay’s science and policy director for water quality. “The vote further emphasizes that the time has come for us to move past the wasteful convenience of a plastic bag to sustainable reusable bags.� Councilman Bill Rosendahl, who represents coastal communities including Venice, said he was “absolutely thrilled� at the ban’s passage, noting

that he has fought for such a measure during the eight years he has been in office. But opponents argued that outlawing singleuse plastic bag distribution is poor economic policy that will negatively impact businesses. “By voting to ban plastic bags and impose a 10-cent tax on paper bags, the Los Angeles City Council has sent a terrible message to manufacturers, small businesses and working families in the city of Los Angeles,� said Mark Daniels, chairman of the American Progressive Bag Alliance, an organization representing plastic bag manufacturers. “This ordinance has been sold to the public through junk science in the name of the environment, but bag bans and taxes don’t help the environment – they make things worse. A tax on consumers is hurtful and, worse, a ban on plastic bags threatens the jobs of the 1,000 hardworking employees of Los Angeles area plastic bag manufacturers.� According to Heal the Bay, California municipalities spend nearly $25 million each year to collect and dispose of plastic bag waste, and less than 5 percent of plastic grocery bags are recycled each year statewide.

Santa Monica

Community groups work to address youth, family violence in wake of shootings Following a recent series of shootings that left seven people dead, Santa Monica city and school leaders are jointly working on the next steps, including an action plan, to move the community’s response forward. Officials with the city, Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District and Santa Monica College have announced that the Cradle to Career Group, an inter-agency collaboration, will take the lead in addressing youth and family violence though strategies focused on the root causes, including mental illness and family support. The city is reeling from episodes of violence that began June 7, when five people were shot dead before police shot and killed the gunman at Santa Monica College. Only days later, one man was killed and another wounded in a shooting not far from the campus. Officials noted that the suspects in the shootings were youth under the age of 24. “As we learn more about the June 7 shooting, it’s clear that addressing complex issues of mental health and domestic violence should be top priorities. These are complex issues that affect us all and are not specific to any one neighborhood or population segment,� said Julie Rusk, assistant director of the city’s Community and Cultural

Services Department. Representatives of the Cradle to Career Initiative came together June 14 to offer condolences, share information about the steps taken in the immediate aftermath of the violence and affirm their intent to re-double efforts to act in smart, collaborative and accelerated ways against such incidents. “As a community moves from grieving to healing, the conversation naturally shifts from why this happened to how do we make sure this doesn’t happen again?� said Sandra Lyon, superintendent of Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District. “No one organization alone can provide the answer. That’s why we’re committed to Santa Monica’s collective impact approach to helping our youth and their families.� Among the efforts explored is an action plan that will be developed through the public-private partnership of Cradle to Career partners. A Youth & Family Violence Prevention Fund will be established to accelerate implementation of the action plan, beginning with a private donation of $50,000. Information, www.santamonicayouth.net.

THE LAST DAY of operation for the Santa Monica Post Office at Fifth Street and Arizona Avenue will be June 29, when retail services will be relocated to a facility less than a mile away.

The Work Projects Administration-era Santa Monica Post Office is closing for business Saturday, June 29 after nearly 75 years in operation. Retail postal service will be relocated from the post office building at 1248 Fifth St. to the carrier annex facility at 1653 Seventh St. beginning at 9 a.m. Monday, July 1, the United States Postal Service has announced. The Fifth Street post office will be open for a half-day June 29, from 9 a.m. to noon, after which time retail lobby service and P.O. Box mail will not be available the remainder of the weekend to facilitate the move of equipment and mail, Postal Service spokesman Richard Maher said. Services and retail hours will remain the same at the new location: Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. P.O. Box customers will have the same P.O. Box number and ZIP code, as well as the same key since the boxes will be physically moved

into the new facility. P.O. Box mail will be available for pick-up June 29 at the Fifth Street retail counter, and customers will need photo identification to collect their mail that day. The Postal Service approved the relocation of retail services as part of its efforts to consolidate facilities nationwide due to funding struggles. A number of community members had expressed concerns with the move, saying that the downtown post office is centrally located and the new location would create access issues, and elected officials had also urged the Postal Service to reconsider its decision. Maher said the federal agency plans to sell the Fifth Street building, which was built in 1937 and qualifies for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Working with the state Historic Preservation Officer and his staff, the Postal Service will ensure the historic characteristics of the building are maintained through covenants conveyed to the future buyer as an attachment to the deed, Maher said.

Registered sex offender arrested in sexual assault of woman in Santa Monica Santa Monica police have arrested a registered sex offender in connection with the sexual assault of a woman on a bus bench. Officers were on patrol in the 400 block of Santa Monica Boulevard at about 4:30 a.m. June 19, when they observed an alleged sexual battery on a bus bench and intervened, Sgt. Richard Lewis said. A woman told officers that the suspect had allegedly touched her underneath her clothing and stated that he was going to rape her, Lewis said. The suspect, identified as 34-year-old Kelechi Amadi, a registered sex offender who is on parole for sexual battery and failure to register as a sex offender, was arrested for sexual battery and assault to commit rape, Lewis said. Amadi is homeless and is known to travel extensively throughout the Los Angeles area, utilizing public transportation, police said. Police are asking anyone who believes they may have been a victim of Amadi to come forward. Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Soto at (310) 458-8218; Sgt. Darrick Jacob at (310) 458-8460; or the Santa Monica Police Department (24 hours) at (310) 458-8495.

OBITUARY

Venice has lost one of its most generous and dearest friends in the passing of Norman Marks, President of Natural Carpet Company. Norman, age 51, has been a resident of Venice Beach since 1981 and since 1992 has had his showroom at 2014 Lincoln Blvd., Venice CA. Everyone who met Norman would have been touched by his infectious love of life, his charm, his generosity and his positivity not to mention his many musical talents. Norman was a truly a caring and honest person who took a real interest in other people’s lives. He was a genuine, unaffected sweet and kind human being who will be sorely missed.
