L ette r s Bikes Must Yield at Oxford Basin Please see page 6 for a news story about the renovation of Oxford Basin Lagoon. The remodeled Oxford Basin, commonly called the Duck Pond, is looking good. However, bicycle riders pose a threat to those who walk around the lagoon. Riders already have an indicated trail to use, but they also use the pedestrian paths as their own as well as sidewalks that are off-limits to bikes, according to Los Angeles County code (Sec.15.76.080) for unincorporated areas such as Marina del Rey. Better signage is needed to prevent potential pedestrian injuries. Andrea Daroca Marina del Rey Please, Not Another Chain Re: “Save Panini Grill,” Letters, June 23 The Panini Grill is a wonderful café where families are welcome, the portions are large and you can have a real conversation without shouting over loud music. I am horrified

that it will be forced out — please not for a chain store. Linda Lucks Venice Something’s Very, Very Wrong Here I see bodies lying on sidewalks, crumpled up on bus benches, hidden in alleys bundled in filthy blankets, piles of junk surrounding them. These are homeless people in America — America the Beautiful. Why? How? The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors declared this a “Statewide Humanitarian Crisis.” The 2016 Homeless Count found there are 47,000 homeless people in L.A.

What can WE do? Bettina Gantsweg Marina del Rey A Time for Action I am writing to express my support for L.A. City Council-

By Gary Walker After being stripped of 650 trees and all other vegetation in January 2015, the Oxford Basin Lagoon in Marina del Rey will debut next week as a public recreation destination and nature preserve. The July 7 county rededication of the basin follows the planting of 750 native trees and more than 45,000 drought-tolerant plants, said Los Angeles County Public Works spokesman Kerjon Lee. That includes more than 200 milkweed plants — a source of food for monarch butterflies — as well as a diverse palette of coast live oak, blue elderberry, cottonwood, laurel, lemonade berry, mulefat, sycamore, white alder and willow trees. The new plantings look much smaller and sparser than the towering eucalyptus and dense assorted vegetation that previously populated the 10-acre site bordered by Admiralty Way, Washington Boulevard and Oxford Avenue. But local leaders are optimistic the new Oxford Basin will grow into its new role as a showcase asset for Marina del Rey, including the upgraded bike and walking path around it.

“It’s been an eyesore for so long, but now it’s going to become another piece of the puzzle that makes Marina del Rey such a great place to live and visit,” Marina del Rey Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Janet Zaldua said.

“I think the more that people learn what we’ve done out there, the more they are going to enjoy it,” he said. Asked about the controversy sparked last year by the removal of trees, Knabe said he thinks the overall impact of the project — including long-term flood

“I think the more that people learn what we’ve done out there, the more they are going to enjoy it.” — L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe

Work on the basin also included the dredging of some 10,000 cubic yards of longaccumulated sediment and debris in order to improve the basin’s aging flood control and storm water capture apparatus. Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe, who has represented Marina del Rey for 20 years but will be termed out of office in December, will preside over the 10 a.m. dedication ceremony at the intersection of Washington and Oxford.

control and water quality improvements — outweigh prior opposition. “It’s good to be able to celebrate things that not only bring about improved public safety but also provide more recreational opportunities,” Knabe said. County officials encourage those who plan to attend the dedication ceremony at 10 a.m. on July 7 to park in County Lot 7 at 4350 Admiralty Way. gary@argonautnews.com

A Door Opens in Del Rey $10-million investment brings affordable housing to an expensive neighborhood Photo by Joe Piasecki

By Gary Walker Alphonse Harris was busily sweeping and dusting his new apartment, even though it appeared to be clean, when he welcomed a reporter as his first visitor. Figurines and knickknacks are arranged neatly on shelves, a guitar rests on a chair and watercolors decorate the walls. “I made those [paintings] myself,” Harris, 67, says proudly. He is one of two dozen formerly homeless men and women who have found a permanent home at the Westside’s newest affordable housing complex, the 20-unit Gateway Apartments on Beach Avenue in Del Rey. Constructed in line with U.S. Green Building Council sustainability standards, the fashionable three-story building with a rooftop deck is nestled between a former light industrial area and bustling Washington Boulevard. Each one-bedroom apartment measures about 600 square feet, with additional room for on-site supportive services. A joint venture of the nonprofit Venice Community Housing Corp. and Hollywood Community Housing, the Gateway Apartments represent a roughly $10-million investment in affordable housing — about $500,000 per unit — in one of the city’s hottest real estate markets. That price tag included paying fair market value for the land, the costs of doing so being one of the biggest obstacles to building affordable housing in Westside neighborhoods, Venice Community Housing Corp. Executive Director Becky Dennison said. “Our goal is to develop affordable housing on the Westside to preserve the diversity of our communities and to provide access to people of all incomes,” said Dennison, who joined the organization in March. “We need dozens more buildings providing affordable and permanent supportive housing on the Westside, at a minimum.”

Formerly homeless residents of the Gateway Apartments on Beach Avenue can access a rooftop patio with scenic views Homelessness in Los Angeles is in a “profound crisis, but while everyone complains about homelessness, there are so few who are willing to step forward with solutions,” City Councilman Mike

those stakeholders who do not have a home get off the street and get the services they need results in one person that contributes to the greater good of the neighborhood, we have made Del Rey that much better,” Neumann said. Matt Wersinger, who joined the council after construction of the Gateway Apartments began, said he had some initial uncertainties about the project but came around to support it due to Venice Community Housing Corp.’s past successes and supportive services. “And when I attended the opening and met some of the people who are living there, I realized all the more what a personal impact this project is having,” he said. Gateway tenant Patrick Ward, 53, is a 1980 graduate of Venice High School who spent time in and out of homeless centers and had been unsure he’d ever find permanent housing. During the process, Ward was also worried about being able to furnish his new apartment, but he says Venice Community Housing once again came to the rescue. “Moving in here has been such an easy transition, especially with them providing everything to get us started,” he said. “I’m back in the community where I grew up, and I love it.” Harris, who suffers from a neurological condition that keeps him from steady work, said social services providers St. Joseph Center in Venice and OPCC (formerly Ocean Park Community Center) in Santa Monica offered crucial support during his homeless years and later with the process of applying for housing assistance. “This is a beautiful story for me, with a really happy ending,” Harris said. “It already feels like home.” gary@argonautnews.com

They Elect to Disagree Some who lost Venice Neighborhood Council races threaten to take election grievances to court Photo by Martin L. Jacobs

By Gary Walker The Venice Neighborhood Council election on June 5 saw the defeat of eight incumbents with the highest voter turnout in the history of L.A. neighborhood councils, but the drama may not be over just yet. Alleging improper design and distribution of ballots, dubious voter eligibility, voter inducements by a local restaurant and a web application that promoted council hopefuls while falsely claiming to be operated by the council, some of the candidates who came up short on Election Day are threatening to sue the city. Former Venice Neighborhood Council member Robin Rudisill, who lost her bid to chair the council’s development-screening Land Use and Planning Committee, filed five such election-related complaints with the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment, which oversees city’s neighborhood councils. City officials quickly dismissed those complaints, however, allowing new council members to be sworn in on June 21. But Venice attorney Mark Kleiman, who lost his bid for

Voters cast Venice Neighborhood Council ballots at the Oakwood Recreation Center because this year’s election tended to cast candidates into two camps — those favoring a slow-growth approach, many of them incumbents, and challengers finding strong support from the local business community. By and large the incumbents were trounced. Some who supported the challengers distributed slate endorsements far and wide, instructed local businesses to encourage their employees to vote, and in some cases even promised to drive voters to the polls — activities

that wouldn’t fly in traditional elections. She’s concerned that some of the election winners have ties to local developers who’ve had projects before the council or are even pending review. “My greatest concern is: How will public trust be restored? As we learned in our [city mandated] ethics training, the public perception is equally if not more important than what is actually done,” Marosi said. Some winning candidates who received strong backing against

one of 13 community officer seats and says he’s also working on behalf of other unsuccessful candidates, isn’t letting go. “We think people have committed felonies. We think the candidates who won were the beneficiaries of these felonies,” Kleiman said. Before the city dismissed Rudisill’s complaints, Kleiman pledged to go “straight to court if they turn us down.” As of this week, he says a filing is still in the works. If Venetians appear to be fighting like Democrats and Republicans over nonpartisan local contests for what’s ultimately an advisory body, it’s

permitted under current neighborhood council election rules, according to city officials. But Kleiman and others allege the somewhat ambiguous city rules that opened up the polls to local employees, business vendors and other non-residents who can claim a substantial interest in Venice simultaneously opened the door to election fraud. Newly elected Venice Neighborhood Council member Ilana Marosi, whose grassroots opposition to the operation of Gjusta restaurant on Sunset Avenue aligns her with the slow-growth camp, says many of her new constituents are surprised by voter eligibility rules

To Raise a Child, She Created a Village

M.J. Kang built a network of community support around parenthood By Regan Kibbee

Venice resident Myung-Jin “M.J.” Kang grew from a shy immigrant child to a confident and outgoing playwright and actress. When she became a mom, Kang dedicated herself to raising her daughter and creating community. “I didn’t have any of my family nearby and I yearned for a village,” she says. While growing up in Canada, where her family had relocated from South Korea when she was two, Kang witnessed how community helped her parents navigate being immigrants. Getting adjusted took a little longer for Kang, however. When she started kindergarten in Toronto, Kang only spoke Korean. She had to learn English, French and, since her school was Roman Catholic, Italian as well! Kang was so confused and shy that she didn’t want to speak. For years, when in public she would only whisper to her two older sisters, who’d then communicate for her. When Kang won a writing contest at age 8 for an essay titled “My Life as a Cookie,” she was terrified to read it aloud in front of her school. Her sisters promised to stand beside her and take over if necessary. She started reading and, to her delight, found the audience enjoying it and laughing at the funny parts. Feeling that she’d found her voice, Kang began participating more. After being identified as a gifted student, she was moved to a school with other creative kids where she wrote more. At 16, her first play won a prize. At 18, she had a play produced. Kang began acting in high school and continued professionally, appearing on stage in New York, London, Berkeley, Toronto and other cities. She became a regular on a night-time soap opera in Canada. In 2001 Kang moved from New York City to Malibu with her husband, playwright and screenwriter Oren Safdie. She worked in film, television and theater, including with Academy Award winners Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ellen Burstyn and Timothy Hutton. Being part of a community of like-minded artists was extremely satisfying for Kang. She enjoyed the

M.J. Kang, daughter Mia and husband Oren Safdie after passing their black belt tests at Chung Do Tae Kwon Do bonding that came with each new production. Then Kang got pregnant. Giving birth to her daughter was not the pain-free and ecstatic experience Kang’s mother had led her to expect. After returning home with her newborn, she found herself at a loss for communal support. “Who do I talk to to get a sense of what it

means to be a parent?” she recalls thinking. “I felt so alone.” Kang joined online parenting forums “Venice Moms” and “Peachhead” Yahoo groups. She also created the group “Natural Parenting LA” when her daughter was a year old, to share experiences with like-minded parents and connect via weekly playdates. And when her daughter was three,

Kang created another group, “Field Trips SOCAL,” for families to participate in educational outings. As it turned out, Kang had a knack for creating community. She organized many events and outings. Her whale watching, matzoh factory and bagel factory trips were each attended by more than 200 people. Kang began opening up her home for children’s classes — including dance, harp, toy theatermaking and Spanish — and to host positive parenting workshops. “As parents, we are striving to create a kinder future,” she says. “We are all responsible for how our kids turn out.” Now that her daughter is in school, Kang volunteers her time leading workshops in improvisation, theater, playwriting and music, and she also lends reading and writing support in the classroom. When their daughter was 4 years old, Kang’s husband suggested they have her study a martial art. The family ultimately decided on Chung Do Tae Kwon Do in West L.A. Although Kang’s father had dissuaded her from studying taekwondo as a child, saying it was only for boys, Kang chose to take up the practice with her husband and daughter. According to her master, “We are the first family to have tested for their first degree black belts together,” Kang now volunteers as the de facto community builder at the studio. She’s organized an annual campout, movie nights and events for the public. When their master fell and broke two vertebrates in his neck, Kang became the volunteer manager at the studio, organizing the teaching schedule and being the communication link for all the families. Kang says that in the taekwondo world, most studios fold when something happens to the master, but their studio has survived and thrived. “For me and really for my daughter, who is an only child, it’s important for her to be aware of a greater sense of community and a need to give back.” For info about Chung Do Tae Kwon Do, visit taekwondochungdo.com.

Venice-based nonprofit Safe Place for Youth (SPY) celebrated the grand opening of its new 2469 Lincoln Blvd. location with a fundraising gala on June 16. During the gala, SPY and L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin dedicated Bill’s Wellness Center at the homeless youth drop-in center to the memory of Councilman Bill Rosendahl, an emphatic supporter of SPY who died earlier this year. SPY also honored Venice-based social media company Snapchat, which paid for the installation of showers at the drop-in center, and donors Avi and Dorit Reichental for their longtime support. Special recognition also went to the Church of St. Mark, which has incorporated clothes, food and fundraising drives for the homeless into the educational programming at St. Mark School.

Top local restaurants provided food and drink for the gala, creating a menu that featured culinary creations by Gjelina, The Tasting Kitchen, Superba Food + Bread, The Butcher’s Daughter, Dudley Market, Osteria Venice West, Renew Juicery, Lodge Bread, Wurstküche Restaurant Venice, Blue Star Donuts, C & O Cucina, Rockenwagner, Sweet Rose Creamery, Charcoal Venice and Dave’s Catering and Event Planning. Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. helped stock the bar, and mixologist Matthew Biancaniello of Eat Your Drink crafted cocktails for the event. With the help of a silent auction, the event raised about $175,000 for homeless youth support programs — Christina Campodonico Visit facebook.com/SafePlaceForYouth/ for photos of the gala and more information about SPY.

Small Town, Big City

The annual Westchester Fourth of July Parade makes L.A. feel like home By Joe Piasecki Under the wingspan of a motorized 1/16-scale replica of Howard Hughes’ famed Spruce Goose, Dan Garr and his team of kids and parents from Westchester Lutheran School set to work on a miniature landscape of Westchester. The light-up pylons of LAX, Loyola Marymount University’s Sacred Heart Chapel, Westchester Lutheran Church, model 1950s homes and even Randy’s Donuts make up a diorama of local landmarks destined to roll down Loyola Boulevard in the 17th annual Westchester Fourth of July Parade. Since its humble start as a community celebration of the new millennium, the parade has grown into the already tightknit neighborhood’s destination family event. Expect more than 1,000 participants and six times as many spectators from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday as 48 parade entries — many of them marching bands or community-constructed floats — make their way from Westchester Park to the LMU campus. PAGE 12 THE ARGONAUT June 30, 2016

For the past seven years, building award-winning floats for Westchester Lutheran has become a healthy obsession for Garr, founder of the Hot Buttered Elves toy and product development workshop just southeast of LAX.

Spruce Goose (built just down the hill in what’s now Playa Vista) taking off into the sky. “The beauty of making these floats is all the people who help. The parade is a celebration for all the families that are

“I grew up in a small town in Nebraska, and the parade reminds me so much of my experiences there.” — Dorothy Stone, Emerson Avenue Community Garden Club

But this year he’s doubling down. On top of his annual entry for Westchester Lutheran, where his son Luke attends third grade, Garr is also building a second float — a massive wooden pirate ship on wheels that can hold more than a dozen people — for St. Monica Catholic High School. That’s where his son Max, who just graduated from Westchester Lutheran, is headed this fall — a transition that Garr says inspired his idea to portray the

here. It builds pride, builds community,” Garr says. The parade also speaks to the unique character of Westchester, says Gwen Vuchsas, who has chaired the committee that runs the LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce-sponsored event since its inception. “We may be part of the city of Los Angeles, but there’s a small-town spirit here and the parade really reflects that,” said Vuchsas, who has lived in

Westchester or neighboring Playa del Rey for 45 years. This year’s parade also takes on the added significance of kicking off celebrations of Westchester’s 75th anniversary, which locals date to the initial construction of homes in the winter of 1941. Each year the parade has a theme, and this year’s is “Our Little Piece of Paradise – Celebrating 75 Years of Westchester,” an idea pitched by 86-yearold Dorothy Rose. Rose moved to the Westport Heights neighborhood in January 1954 after her husband landed an engineering job at Hughes Aircraft Company. Back then, the Ralphs on Sepulveda Boulevard was a Piggly Wiggly, the local IHOP was a drive-in diner, and there were pony rides and bean fields at what’s now Howard Hughes Parkway. “I always felt this was paradise — a little-town in the big city. It still is. With all the construction it’s changing, but I wouldn’t want to live any other place.” said Rose, who still lives in the house she and her husband paid $12,500 for 62

Pro baseball shortstop Royce Clayton, a St. Bernard High School alum who played in the local Little League, was grand marshal of last year’s parade Community Garden Club, said the parade is an important community event because it brings locals together. She also echoed the idea that Westchester has maintained a community character much like a village despite decades of L.A. urban sprawl. “I grew up in a small town in Nebraska, and the parade reminds me so much of my experiences there. For a lot of us in Westchester, it confirms our sense that we’re in a small town in the big city, and we love it.” As the parade has grown, so has community interest in putting on a bigger and better show, Vuchsas said. The 2016 parade sees the return of several crowd favorites, including the dancing charro horses, which will be accompanied by the band Mariachi Malibu on the Los Angeles Fire Department’s preserved 1932 bandwagon. There are also new entries, including a St. Bernard High School drumline and the inaugural appearance of the revital(Continued on page 14)

Independence Day fireworks light up the night over Marina del Rey Harbor and West L.A. College By Christina Campodonico The skies light up for the Fourth of July with traditional fireworks shows in Marina del Rey and Culver City on Monday. Marina del Rey’s 26-minute pyrotechnic display by Zambelli Fireworks International goes off promptly at 9 p.m., with Burton Chace Park (13650 Mindanao Way) and Fisherman’s Village (13755 Fiji Way) offering a patriotic soundtrack to the festivities over outdoor loudspeakers. The Exchange Club of Culver City’s annual July 4th Fireworks Show marks its 50th year with a longer and larger show shooting off at dusk from multiple launch points at West Los Angeles College. Boosters of both events encourage families to arrive early to avoid traffic and lengthen the celebration. “There’s nothing more beautiful than watching fireworks over the marina,” says Marina del Rey Convention & Visitors Bureau CEO Janet Zaldua. “You can make a day of the Fourth of July in Marina del Rey,” she says, encouraging visitors and locals alike to take to the water, have dinner and stop by the Marina del Rey Visitor Center at 4701 Admiralty Way to pick up a free American flag for the evening’s festivities. If you choose to drive, public parking runs $7 to $15 and fills up quickly, so arrive early, as street closures are also planned. Annual sponsors the L.A. County Department of Beaches and Harbors encourage families to take advantage of Marina del Rey WaterBus service (11 a.m. to midnight) and the Beach Shuttle (10 a.m. to 8 p.m.). Culver City’s fireworks show opens its gates at 4 p.m. for a community festival complete with entertainment by Teresa James & the Rhythm Tramps, gourmet food trucks, a Kids Zone with carnival games, and a charity mega-raffle for a luxury Vegas getaway, an

aerial tour of Los Angeles, a big-screen TV and other prizes. “We are a local family tradition,” says incoming Exchange Club President John Cohn. “For the past half century, our fireworks show has brought together families of every stripe. … Parents who once came to our annual event as children are now celebrating this proud Culver City tradition with their own children and grandchildren.” This year the celebration features fireworks by Golden State Fireworks, a family-owned pyrotechnics company that has presented fireworks shows at the National Mall in Washington DC, the Statue of Liberty, the Winter Olympics and Disney World. “Because it’s our 50th anniversary show, we are pulling out the stops,” says Cohn. The evening is especially dedicated to veterans and features a National Anthem and color guard appearance by The New Directions for Vets Choir. The musical ensemble comprised of formerly homeless veterans was a finalist on “America’s Got Talent.” “The Fourth of July is more than just sparklers and fireworks,” Cohn says. A donation of $5 per person is suggested for the event, but children under 5 are free. Parking is $10 and limited, but carpools of up to eight guests get in for a flat $30. Cars enter the campus on Jefferson Boulevard; pedestrians on Overland Avenue. Proceeds benefit the Culver City Exchange Club’s local youth programs, college scholarships, child abuse prevention efforts, local YMCA programs, the Culver Youth Health Center and the Backpacks for Kids program, which provides struggling families with extra food and supplies.

years ago. “I still love it.” Westchester is still a neighborhood that’s rich in traditional community organizations such as the Westchester Elks, two local Rotary International clubs and the all-volunteer Emerson Avenue Community Garden. Each appears annually in the Westchester Fourth of July Parade. This year’s Emerson Avenue Community Garden parade float brings a garden motif to the “Piece of Paradise” theme, with a flatbed of assorted flowers and topiary followed by about 30 marchers carrying a kaleidoscope of oversized monarch butterflies — one of them a large animatronic puppet that’ll be operated by three people, said garden volunteer Mary Ann Stern. “We do it because we love the parade, and it’s fun for us. Over the years it’s grown, and the floats get better and better each year,” said Stern, who is also part of a synchronized wheelbarrow drill team that accompanies the float.

probably had 4,000. With that kind of response, we knew we had to do it again,” Vuchsas recalls. “None of us are professionals at putting on a parade. We’ve just learned a lot over the years and got better at it,” she said. “It’s truly a labor of love.” The 17th annual Westchester Fourth of July Parade steps off

from Westchester Park at 11 a.m. and travels north on Loyola Boulevard, crossing the main showcase area at Loyola and West 83rd Street before wrapping up at 1 p.m. on the Loyola Marymount University campus.

Weekday morning revelers cool down to live music before heading off to work

They Dance at Dawn Daybreaker explores the sunnier side of nightlife aboard a party boat in Marina del Rey harbor By Christina Campodonico On a Hornblower yacht in Marina del Rey bottles are strewn about the floor and line window sills along steamed-up glass. But these aren’t the remnants of a late night out, more the discards from an early morning in — in the throes of dancing, downing healthy drinks, doing yoga and literally celebrating life at the break of dawn. At fever pitch this entire boat was a hopping dance floor. Partygoers in their 20s to late 30s —some costumed in unicorn onesies, furry jackets and tiger jumpsuits — grooved, snaked, slithered and jammed to a mix of techno and electronic dance music. But they were fueled by a different type of intoxication.

There’s not a drop of alcohol in these containers, maybe drops of fruit-infused water or sips of some “all-natural,” “antioxidant-rich” elixir. This is the aftermath of Daybreaker, a “morning movement” that throws deejayed dance parties in the early a.m. and serves up beverages like Califia bottled cold brew instead of craft cocktails. But like most nights out, the journey began in the dark. I set my alarm for 4:30 a.m., dragged my sleepy-eyed, night owl self into my car and drove through desolate streets to Fisherman’s Village. Arriving at 6, I missed the 5:30 a.m. yoga warm up. No Namaste for me, though I’m told it was “a very awakening, alive experience.”

At the check-in table, I receive a stamp on the inside of my wrist. Designed to look like a minimalist sunset over water, the symbol looks like a secret brand that I could easily hide from my employer beneath my Fitbit or flash to another Daybreaker to show that I’m with the “in” crowd. I join the cue of partygoers boarding the Hornblower, and like that I’m into one of the most unusual and invigorating dance parties this side of the 405. But I bet you’re still wondering — why would any sane person wake up before the break of dawn to go to a dance party? Isn’t the whole point of getting your groove on at night is so that you can flail around like an idiot in a poorly lit club, booze up or make out with a

stranger and not be seen, or at least not be seen very well? Yet Daybreaker intentionally turns that kind of party-going philosophy on its head. “Daybreaker is a flip on nightlife,” says LA Daybreaker co-producer Andre Herd. “So you’re typical nightlife experience, you go out. You have a couple of drinks. You maybe go dancing, maybe meet somebody, and then you go to bed and you wake up feeling bad. Daybreaker is the exact opposite. You wake up early. You grab a cup of coffee. You go to this energetic dance party where 500 people are smiling and you’re very conscious of who you’re talking to, who’s around you, (Continued on page 34)

The Best of Both Worlds Santa Monica Seafood Market & Café stays true to two culinary traditions Photo by Richard Foss

The subtly seasoned grilled trout on a bed of lightly sautéed spinach is the perfect low-carb lunch

By Richard Foss

Santa Monica Seafood Market & Café 1000 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica (310) 393-5244 smseafoodmarket.com

I once stopped in at a fish market-themed restaurant for a to-go order of chowder and saw some pretty seabass in the display case. When I asked how much a pound would be, the person at the counter seemed bewildered. Did I want it there or to go, grilled or sautéed, with fries or rice pilaf? She was puzzled by the idea that I wanted to take it home to cook myself — do people do that anymore? I recently had the opposite interaction at Santa Monica Seafood Market & Café when I asked our server about an unfamiliar fish listed on the chalkboard outside. She had no idea what it was either, because despite the vast array of seafood on the menu, this particular variety was only offered at the fish counter. The divide between the two confirms

that this restaurant and market really is both, which is appropriate given that it’s an offshoot of a seafood distributor that has been in business since 1939. The look here is bright and modern, free of lobster traps and

potatoes, corn and onion in a seafood-tomato broth was like a mild cioppino, decent but not memorable. The tomato was the strongest flavor, and though it was not bad we liked both of the others more.

These were real Maryland soft shells, something of a rarity on the West Coast, and they were meaty and flavorful. nautical kitsch, and the dining area is comfortable and stylish. When we stopped in for lunch, our server Katie came by with menus and advice about the specials. We were impressed that when we asked about one of them and she didn’t know, she found someone who did. At many places the server would have made something up or just been vague, but here they make an effort to answer customers’ questions. Our party of three started with soups — a fish chowder, New England clam chowder, and crab bisque. The fish chowder with

The New England clam chowder could be used as a standard by which to rate others — creamy, with just a little pepperiness, and loaded with clams. Celery and potatoes were there for flavor and body but not filler, and though I like bacon in chowder this pork-free version was just fine. We agreed the lobster bisque was best, as it had a silky richness that was balanced by the slight sherry flavor. Traditional bisques use ground lobster shells as a thickener, but this one is (Continued on page 18)

cream-based and has a touch of sweetness. I could easily have eaten a large bowl with their good sourdough bread and called it a meal. But if I had I would have missed the main courses, which were a soft shell crab salad, a mushroom-and-seafood ravioli plate, and the best piece of grilled trout that I’ve had in quite a while. The subtly seasoned trout was served on a bed of lightly sautéed spinach and broiled tomato, and it was a perfect low-carb lunch. The ravioli were at the other end of the spectrum, a large portion of big mushroom-filled dough packets in a rich cream sauce with shrimp, scallops, mushroom chunks and spinach. Musky fungal flavors mingled with seafood stock in the thick sauce, and it was much bolder in flavor than we expected. If you like thin, delicate sauces this may not be your favorite, but we loved it. The only dish that lacked balance was the soft shell crab salad, and it wasn’t because of

Great Food & Exceptional Service Since 1959

Fresh means fresh at the popular oyster bar the quality of the ingredients. These were real Maryland soft shells, something of a rarity on the West Coast, and they were meaty and flavorful. Unfortunately they were served over a giant mound of greens in a sharp, vinegary dressing that overpowered the other flavors. A little of this salad along with some other vegetable might have worked, but there was too much of the same flavor and we left about half of it. Katie indicated that this was a seasonal item that had just been added to the menu, and she would pass along our comment as they might still be tinkering with the flavor balance. Katie also offered a free dessert because we weren’t happy with the crab, and we selected the

lemon drop cheesecake. That’s not something I usually order because it’s often a sugary blob, but someone else at our table likes it and I went along. I was glad I did, because this one was unusually good, with a rich cheese flavor and tart lemon zest. It was made in-house and is well worth the calories. Our lunch for three ran $117 with two soft drinks and one glass of wine; you’re getting top quality fish here, and the prices reflect that. We found it to be well worth the expense, because the experience was delightful. Santa Monica Seafood has had more than 75 years of practice when it comes to serving customers, and that experience pays off for shoppers and diners alike.

The ArgonAuT REAl EstAtE Q&A

High home prices and competition put off homebuyers Homebuyer demand was 5% lower in May 2016 than the same time last year, according to the Redfin Homebuyer Demand Index, which measures homebuyer activity nationwide. This continues the yearover-year national decline in demand experienced each month thus far in 2016. Redfin’s index was recently lowest in 2014. The following year saw more demand from homebuyers, but 2016 has lost this momentum. Redfin’s index concludes demand is withering nationally, but what about demand in California? California real estate agents need to take this national conclusion with a grain (or handful) of salt. As all practicing agents know, California has a largely autonomous market that frequently functions independent of the country. Thus, these results are to be viewed skeptically as it is:

• based on several metropolitan areas across the nation, which can be misleading for local markets; and • reliant exclusively on Redfin user data, and thus it only includes visits to Redfin’s site and requests for tours and offers submitted by Redfin clients. That being said, there are several reasons to suppose homebuyer demand may be in fact struggling in California.

• competition from other homebuyers. Home prices and competition are dissuading homebuyers, and their lack of involvement will cause prices to trend down within a year of falling sales volume. The historical trend is that home prices take around 9-12 months to react to slowing demand.

The number one culprit is rising home prices, which have been on a tear since 2012. Low-tier homes, the number one choice for first-time homebuyers, are 11% higher in price than this same time last year as of March 2016. Mid-tier homes are 7% higher and high-tier homes are 6% higher. This gels with Redfin’s survey of homebuyer clients, which shows their biggest concerns are:

W estside

• “affordability” (the cost of home prices compared to incomes); and

Annual increases in California monthly home sales volume have decelerated in recent months, from an 18% yearover-year rise in mid-2015 to just 2.8% in March 2016. When the sales volume trend continues, we will see a flat-to-down annual performance in the second half of this year. Rising mortgage rates and the reduced buyer purchasing power that comes with higher interest rates will further depress sales volume and prices.

Depending on performance in the global economy and movement by the Federal Reserve, this rate increase is expected around late-2016. But this is just a speed bump in California’s otherwise expanding economy. With the return of jobs and rising incomes, young first-time homebuyers will soon be ready to enter the market and the large Baby Boomer population will be ready to retire and buy replacement homes. first tuesday forecasts the next real estate boom to occur in 2019-2021. And in the meantime, be wary of placing too much stock in national figures. As all competent agents know, real estate is a local business. This week’s quesTion is answered by first tuesday Journal, journal.first tuesday.us P.O. Box 5707, Riverside CA 92517

Still Hitting the High Notes The Marina del Rey Symphony returns to Burton Chace Park with “Opera by the Shore” By Christina Campodonico From Latin music to classic opera, the Marina del Rey Symphony is bringing many musical flavors back to Burton Chace Park for its 16th season of free seaside concerts. This summer’s schedule kicks off on Thursday, July 7, with “Opera at the Shore,” a program of arias that showcases some of the nation’s finest young opera talent — winners and finalists of this year’s Loren L. Zachary National Vocal Competition. “It’s an operatic version of ‘The Voice’ or ‘America’s Got Talent,’” explains Marina del Rey Symphony Music Director Frank Fetta. First-place winner Vanessa Vasquez, runner up John Viscardi and a number of competition finalists are set to perform pieces that include excerpts from Wagner’s “The Ride of the Valkyries,” Puccini’s “La Bohème,” Gounod’s “Romeo and Juliet,” Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Carousel,” Bizet’s “Carmen” and “The Impossible Dream” from “The Man of La Mancha.”

Loren L. Zachary National Vocal Competition finalists Christie Conover and Jungwon Choi are among the top talents performing with the symphony The Marina del Rey Symphony follows up “Opera at the Shore” with “Tango y Más,” a program inspired by Latin music and dance, on Aug. 4. The orchestra accompanies Mexican folkdance troupe Ballet Folklórico de Los Ángeles as they tango and dance to songs such as Arturo Márquez’s Danzon No. 2, Cole Porter’s “Begin the Beguine,” Carlos Gardel’s “Tango por una cabezo” from John

William’s “Scent of a Woman,” and excerpts from Leonard Bernstein’s “Westside Story.” A mariachi band will also accompany the MdR symphony on a few of the songs. The Marina del Rey Symphony closes their summer series on Aug. 18 with an especially grand finale — a fully-staged production of “Madame Butterfly.” The production will be done in a “traditional” style, says Fetta, with a fullycostumed cast clothed in Japanese regalia and a minimal set of cherry blossom trees and screens. The marina itself plays a role as the backdrop for the tragic tale about a young Japanese geisha who marries an American lieutenant sojourning on the island nation of Japan. He later abandons her and takes a new bride. Their tortured love story plays out on a hill overlooking Nagasaki harbor. “The opera, all throughout, has a water orientation,” says Fetta. The classic Puccini opera also holds a special place in Fetta’s heart. When he was a conservatory piano student at Ithaca College in upstate New York, Fetta saw

an ad for choristers to join the Ithaca Civic Opera’s production of “Madame Butterfly.” Singing in the show intrigued him, so he signed up. “I went nuts for opera, being right in the middle of all those songs, all that music, all that vibration,” he says. It was music to his ears, in other words, and he hopes it will be the same for those who attend. “The treatment that Puccini gave to the opera, the music is so exquisite. I don’t think there’s anybody that can be immune to this poor Japanese woman marrying this American,” says Fetta. “The poignancy and pathos of that theatrical situation, it tugs at your heart strings and it’s done with this incredibly beautiful music.” “Opera at the Shore” happens from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, July 7, at Burton Chace Park, 13650 Mindanao Way, Marina del Rey. The concert is free, but parking in the marina can cost $7 to $15. For more information, call (310) 3059545 or visit marinadelrey.lacounty.gov.

Harvesting Change “Unbroken Ground,” a new film screening at Patagonia Santa Monica, explores the promise of regenerative agriculture By Dave Randall To say we are what we eat invokes a time-worn cliché. Considering, though, how our food is mass produced, chemically engineered and not always prepared with an eye toward purity, being what we eat is not just cliché, it’s downright scary. Forgive the pun, but in California, with its vast, agrarian economy, this is powerful food for thought (ouch!) — and the subject of a new documentary, “Unbroken Ground: Revolutions Start from the Bottom.” Directed by Chris Malloy for Patagonia Provisions, this nicely produced 25-minute film has a main thrust that’s put into perspective during its opening sequences by Patagonia’s founder, Yvon Chouinard: “If you want to feed your family healthy food, you’ve gotta ask a lotta questions.” As consumers, we usually don’t ask at all. The film does, though, and a dedicated group of longtime organic growers, PhDs, grad students and Native Americans offer answers, alternatives and methods that show that what we eat, from soil or sea, can be grown to benefit our health and combat climate change. The stars are farmers and fishermen, willing to start from the bottom up to change the

Cara Blake of the Lummi Island Wild Salmon Cooperative paradigm of crop commercialization. “Unbroken Ground” screens at Patagonia Santa Monica on Tuesday, July 5. Malloy is giving a talk after the screening. “Unbroken Ground” profiles the restorative practices of four groups working with land, wildlife, crops and fishing. The first section demonstrates how “regenerative farming” as practiced by Wes Jackson’s Land Institute can rebuild topsoil and save it from being lost or poisoned. That’s followed by a trip to Cheyenne River Ranch in South Dakota, where Dan and Jill O’Brien practice “regenerative grazing.” They reintroduce bison to their

indigenous land to naturally consume then fertilize grass, and they employ many Native American dances and customs to enhance their unadulterated approach to farming. The results are healthier soil and crop production, and a vastly better ecosystem. As Dan says, “Plants are better than anything we (humans) ever conceived of.” The third section zeroes in specifically on diversified crop development. The Bread Lab is concerned with the variety of wheat grown from soil improved by natural compost, with one result being the return of “original” flavor to our food. Bread Lab director Stephen Jones

intimates that their goal is to “… make what we do work for the farmer,” through grains created the way they’ve been created for thousands of years. The fresh water of Puget Sound is the final destination, where the Lummi Island Wild Salmon Cooperative exercises selective harvest fishing. If our agriculture has been adversely affected by pesticides, loss of topsoil and chemical engineering, what’s been fished from the water has been devastated by all manner of pollution. Here, Malloy shows the Lummi tribe of Washington applying time-tested practices. Restoring Puget Sound and its salmon can’t happen through technology: It takes nature itself. That seems more than logical, and the Lummi theories are posited that way, with their surroundings stunningly captured by director of photography August Thurmer. That a thoughtful documentary of this sort should come from Patagonia, a clothing manufacturer, is not at all far-fetched. According to Malloy (who in addition to being the director is also a Patagonia Ambassador), Chouinard is “content taking risks for what he believes in.” That means using natural cotton, a (Continued on page 35)

the kind of music that you’re listening to and everything.” While many late-night dance club parties run on a cocktail of alcohol and lowered inhibitions, Daybreaker is a substance-free zone, meaning that dancing takes priority — not drinking, taking drugs or hooking up. “Since no one is drinking or taking drugs, it’s just a happy environment,” says 20-year-old USC student Amirah Dales. That doesn’t mean, however, that things don’t get a little out of hand. One latecomer sporting a sailor cap, a tiger scarf and no shirt pulled up to the yacht on a little inflatable motorboat and tried to board. Despite the bold attempt, the organizers wouldn’t let him on as it would mean shutting down the party. So what spurs hundreds of people to figuratively and literally chase the sun? Perhaps the pursuit is its own type of addiction — a high that can only be fed by the exhilaration of dancing itself. “I see this as a time for pure, unadulterated, without judgment dance party fun,” says 25-yearold photojournalist and Daybreaker regular Louis Fisher, who doesn’t hold back, performing yogic flips and contortions while hanging from a bar on the boat’s backend. Fisher’s “inspired by the idea that we can have a good time without any other influence but music and love,” he says. “By the time the dance party’s over it feels like we’re a million bucks.” Some partygoers are so comfortable busting a move that they bring their kids. I spot a toddler with a little Afro grooving to his own breakdance beat and a baby bouncing in a carrier on her mother’s chest. This is 11-month-old Zoe and her 39-year-old mom Jessica Shinners. Having danced at a Daybreaker party in NYC when Zoe was in utero, Shinners feels like this a natural play date for her and her daughter. “I wouldn’t bring her to any dance party,” says Shinners, her daughter wearing purple noise-cancelling headphones to protect her ears from the blaring noise. “Because this is G-rated as a social and intentional event, she would want to be here. The people surrounding her are enjoying her in a respectful and playful way.” I see what the mom means.

D ermatology & S kin S urgery

Daybreaker dancers partied on multiple decks with plenty of cold brew and health drinks to go around Revelers joyously circle round the shimmying Shinners and her baby on the back deck, but keep a safe distance, creating an almost protective cushion of space around the mother and child. Meanwhile, dance circles are closer and more entangled on the inside of the boat. Here fratty meets fruity granola, as macho millennial bros in tank tops tread over discarded KIND bar wrappers and cross paths with Silicon Beach techies and new wave hipsters sporting yoga pants and body paint. A rubber ducky inner tube bounces between bodies, while a woman in a red dress and sailor hat swings her body to and fro to a mix that sounds almost like a meditation tape on steroids. Somewhere between Zen and frenetic, Greek life and yoga culture not only miraculously coexist, but commingle. Things do get a little cultish when the music stops and the event organizers instruct us to give each other a big group hug, let out a big shout and sit on the floor crossed-legged to listen to a local artist sing some Justin Timberlake-y R&B and then recite a yogic intention from square-shaped cards passed around to us. By this time, the sky has turned from black to blue

to overcast gray, the sun barely peeking through the clouds. Upon departure, we’re told to go out and “spread the love to your community.” A touch hippy dippy for my taste, but judging by the dozens of partygoers who gather on the yacht’s rooftop to take a giant group photo at the end of the party, I’m guessing that most of my fellow millennials dug it and don’t mind drinking the Daybreaker cold brew, so to speak. But why else would you dress up and dance like a complete fool at 6 a.m.? Even without the booze, there’s something quite intoxicating about the whole experience—rising early before most humans are awake, somnambulating to the party, then breaking out your best dance moves in front of a ton of complete strangers with a responsibly reckless abandon. Maybe this is exactly what youth party culture really needs — a little bit of light. Daybreaker Los Angeles returns to Marina del Rey harbor on Thursday, July 7, with Daybreaker Dusk, a twilight version of the event. Tickets are $35 to $45.

considerable gamble that worked, and being intellectually invested in growing a healthier food supply. Malloy, an avid surfer who’s directed more than 20 films on the sport, is also a rancher. He says he found his most recent effort behind the camera inspiring. “The people in this film have gone about their work for decades, developing a better way food should be made. It was humbling to be around them,” he says. We live with dire realities about what’s in our air, seas and soil and how that affects us. “Unbroken Ground” presents a case for healthy alternatives to the methods of commercial agriculture. The ultimate goal should be to profit while leaving the world a better place. If indeed we are what we eat, this documentary shows us we can be exceptional.

Knee Pain StiffneSS loSS of movement? Joint Fluid therapy relieves pain, restores function and improves mobility without the need for surgery. FDA approved Joint Fluid Therapy restores the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural lubricants within the knee joint. As osteoarthritis occurs, knee cartilage slowly deteriorates and joint fluid loses its shockabsorbing qualities. Performed under ultrasonic guidance with hyaluronate, Joint Fluid Therapy delivers targeted medicine to worn out cartilage. This brief, in-office injection often relieves pain and restores function naturally without the need for major surgery.
