Re : “Knabe kills plan to move boat launch,” news, June 26 Hurrah! A victory for the boaters and residents of Marina del Rey, and all it took was 150 people at a meeting for Don Knabe to listen to us.

Those of us who have attended every meeting, here and downtown, were not listened to over a period of seven years. Indeed, we were called NIMBYs and preference was given to the chamber of commerce and to developers in a giant giveaway of government land and wetland (along Via Marina between Tahiti and Marquesas ways), where not even a park was legal. If we only had the wherewithal for a lawsuit against the county.

Now we have the magic number: 150. Show up at the next marina meeting, readers, and speak up during public comment. There’s still some time left!

Letters (Continued from previous page) Marina development needs independent review

Re: “Knabe kills plan to move boat launch,” news, June 26 The latest developments in Marina del Rey have revealed that Los Angeles County’s socalled visioning process on the future of the marina is a total farce.

One might have assumed when the visioning process was first announced that it existed for citizens to make suggestions on the Marina’s future to be passed on to L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe, the man in charge of marina development.

Instead it turns out that the only substantial suggestion in the visioning — removing the public boat launch to build a shopping mall and razing the funky Fisherman’s Village to provide a parking lot for the relocated ramp — came from Supervisor Knabe himself!

Urgent steps are needed to restore public confidence in the balanced development of L.A. County’s most precious recreational asset.

As a first step I would suggest the county restore the initial review powers of its own Marina Design Control Board, which Supervisor Knabe removed in 2007 after the DCB threw out the county’s most repulsive project, the erection of a boat-stacking storage tower looming over the nature panorama of the Ballona Wetlands and sticking out 100 feet over marina waters.

At the same time the county might consider vesting similar veto powers in its Small Craft Harbor Commission so the public would feel confident in having a suitable forum to voice its views.

The removal of all independent review has meant that the county apparatus exists

solely to advance the demands of favored developers for lease extensions and bigger buildings.

The L.A. County Regional Planning Commission, which is supposed to provide this service, has served merely as a rubber stamp for all county projects, and its members have not come anywhere near the marina for their marina deliberations as far as I am aware.

In addition, the California Coastal Commission, which unfortunately gave away most controls over marina land use to the county in 2011, should be persuaded to get the county to call a halt to its issuing of leases for residential units, the lowest priority under the California Coastal Act. It should also insist the county honor its (broken) promise to build a park on a westside lot designated FF. It must also call a halt to the steady erosion of small, under 35-foot recreational boating slips done at the developers’ behest. The harbor’s original 6,000-or-so is now heading for just over half that number.

But even all this does not go far enough.

Federal and state representatives and organizations should be persuaded to review the county’s handling of marina development and insist that proper attention be paid to the recreational needs of the county.

State Assemblyman Steven Bradford has shown himself ready to intervene on the public’s behalf on this issue.

State Sen. Ted Lieu, who is running for Congress, has failed so far to involve himself on this matter of excessive privatization on the publicly owned lands of the marina.

Summer of Sound

The season offers dozens of free concerts under the sun and stars

T

here are plenty of ways to spend your money this summer — catching the latest 3D blockbuster, taking a road trip, spending a day at Disneyland — but music isn’t one of them. Unplug from Spotify for a minute to discover a wide range of free outdoor concerts happening practically right at your doorstep.

Summer concert series in Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, Playa Vista and other nearby communities offer shows to match anyone’s musical taste. From familiar names such as Greg Allman, Roberta Flack, Blue Öyster Cult, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Wynonna, the Zombies and Bernadette Peters to celebrated local acts like Venice’s The Dustbowl Revival, L.A. chanteuse Jessica Fichot and members of the band Venice pulling double-duty playing rock and funk covers as Pine Mountain Logs, there’s plenty of sound to enjoy and discover.

Fri., July 4: Friends @ Fisherman’s Village A Fisherman’s Village staple, the band returns to play a selection of popular R&B covers.

Sat., July 5: Bob DeSena @ Fisherman’s Village

Hearing Latin jazz musician and vocalist DeSena’s hit those dulcet notes on the xylophone, backed by Roland Mendoza’s congas, captures a seasonal moment in time — a summer vibe.

Nominated Jazz Artist of the Year by the 2014 Los Angeles Music Awards, DeSena, who also plays trumpet and flugelhorn, draws from the influences of Cal Tjader, Herb Albert and the immortal Tito Puente.

Sun., July 6: Jimi Nelson & the Drifting Cowboys @ Fisherman’s Village

These boys excel at executing Top 40 country ditties, and Nelson belts out old-school country tales of lonesome cowboys and cheatin’ hearts in the tradition of Hank Williams and Buck Owens.

Thurs., July 10: Cults, with James Supercave @ Santa Monica Pier

Equal parts ambient and Arcade Fire, New York-based indie rock duo Cults are expected to draw heavily from sophomore album “Static” on the Twilight Concert Series’ opening night. The band’s ethereal, movie-soundtrack-ready qualities may be epitomized by the video for 2010’s “Go Outside” — mashing up “Breathless” and A-Ha’s “Take on Me” with otherworldly banshee choruses playing over images of Dave Franco and Emma Roberts as a couple romping under the Santa Monica Pier, with Roberts’ anachronistic Parisienne returning to a stylized world within a television set in the end.

Sat., July 12: Jimbo Ross & the Bodacious Blues Band @ Fisherman’s Village

A seasoned session musician, Ross has performed with and/or toured with Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Johnny Mathis, the Moody Blues, Pete Townshend, Elton John and Led Zeppelin, so expect some classic rock numbers to seep into his no-nonsense blues set.

Sat., July 12: Chicano Batman @ the Getty Center

Eastside fusionists Chicano Batman combine cumbia, Brazilian tropicalia and Mexi-ballads, with strains of ‘60s rock standards such as Santana and Jimi Hendrix.

Sun., July 13: Surf City All-Stars @ Playa Vista Central Park Bandshell

Expect lots of songs about sun, surf, girls and hot rods as these original members of various surf groups —including Dean Torrence of Jan & Dean and the Beach Boys’ Al Jardine and David Marks — perform a roster of Californiacentric favorites.

Sun., July 13: Sullivan Hall @ Fisherman’s Village

To hear Hall play James Brown’s funk classic “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag” recalls an era long gone and duly missed. If he’s backed by the same lineup on this return Fisherman’s Village gig, get set to get up and get down as Hall’s guitarist and trombonist jam on

Roberta Flack, Aug. 16 an instrumental interlude during “I Heard It Through the Grapevine.”

Sun., July 13: Platinum Rockstars @ El Segundo Library Park

Featuring David Victor, a new member of the band BOSTON, this band specializes in 1970s and ‘80s arena rock and has shared the stage with Pat Benatar, Foreigner and Barenaked Ladies.

Thurs., July 17: Jessica Fichot, Los Pinguos @ Culver City City Hall

Parisian-born, L.A.-based chanteuse Fichot pushes forward the foundations of French folkoric artists Edith Piaf, George Brassens and Yves Montand by fusing traditional stylings with gypsy jazz and 1940s swing drawn from her Chinois heritage. Employing accordion, toy piano and sultry vocals, she performs originals as well as familiar classic chansons.

Buenos Aires natives Los Pinguos (The Penguins) blend Latin rhythms, Argentine rock and Spanish guitars with harmonizing vocals.

Thurs., July 17: Yuna, with King and KCRW DJ Anthony Valadez @ Santa Monica Pier

Drawing comparisons to coffeehouse-cuddly, velvet-voiced songstresses Feist, Adele and Norah Jones, the young Malaysian singersongwriter has expanded on the promise of her self-titled 2012 debut (and its Pharrell

Thurs., July 10: Opera at the Shore @ Burton Chace Park

Maestro Frank Fetta conducts the Marina del Rey Summer Symphony in a showcase of finalists in the Loren L. Zachary National Vocal Competition through arias and ensembles from best-loved operas.

Thurs., July 10: Andre Thierry and Zydeco Magic @ Culver City City Hall

The Northern California native delves into his French Creole heritage for some deeply rooted Louisiana fun.

The band Venice moonlights as Pine Mountain Logs, Aug. 3

ArgonautNews.com these locals play Stevie Wonder, Sam & Dave, The Temptations, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Kool and the Gang and some newer songs, too, including recent smash-hit Pharrell Williams collaborations “Blurred Lines” and “Get Lucky.”

Sun., July 20: DSB @ Playa Vista Concert Park

Billed as a Journey tribute band, “DSB” can only stand for “Don’t Stop Believin,’” Journey’s biggest smash single. Expect DSB to also perform “Any Way You Want It” and “Wheel in the Sky” from the early ‘80s poprock kings.

Thurs., July 24: Cayucas, with Papa and KCRW DJ Chris Muckley @ Santa Monica Pier

Malaysian singer Yuna, July 17 & 19 Williams-produced lead single “Live Your Life”) with “Nocturnal,” a collection of 11 originals including “Someone Who Can,” featuring her lofty vocals soaring over a U2-urgent drum track. The influence of the Cardigans and Fiona Apple are evident in the sultry singer, whose vocals tumble over the suspenseful, bone-trickling verse of the album’s lead single, “Falling,” building to an ethereal chorus as the music swells underneath her.

Sat., July 19: Yuna @ Burton Chace Park See July 17.

Sat., July 19: Gregg Allman, with Sturgill Simpson @Annenberg Space for Photography

Thurs., July 24: violinist William Hagen @ Burton Chace Park

Though just 22, Hagen brings a wisdom to his performances nearly as aged and well-honed as his trusted Andrea Guarneri (Cremona, circa 1675) violin.

Studying music since age 4, the prodigy spent two years learning at the feet of Itzhak Perlman and Catherine Cho at The Juilliard School before studying under Robert Lipsett at the Colburn School Conservatory of Music.

Bernadette Peters, Aug. 21 Photo by Andrew Eccles

Soulful-voiced Gregg Allman and brother Duane epitomized Southern rock with the Allman Brothers Band; Simpson livens up tradition with his live electrified bluegrass jams.

KCRW concert series ties to the “Country: Portraits of an American Sound” photo exhibit.

Sat., July 19: Blue Breeze @ Fisherman’s Village

Imagine the bustling instrumentation of Cake’s “You’re Never There” married to drifting, ghostly Beach Boys harmonizing and you begin to hear “High School Lover,” the perky single off the album “Bigfoot” by Santa Monica’s own Cayucas. Pronounced “kyyook-us,” the band’s name references Cayucos, the sleepy seaside enclave in San Luis Obispo County en route to Cambria.

Call it an R&B El Nino when a waft of funk, soul and Motown drifts over the marina as

Thurs., July 24: Surf City All-Stars @ Culver City City Hall See July 13.

Sat., July 26: Caught a Ghost @ the Getty Center Fueled on the sounds of Sam Cooke, Motown and Stax Records with contemporary hip-hop and EDM flourishes, Caught a Ghost is the latest musical project from L.A. songwriter/ producer Jesse Nolan, featuring actress Tessa Thompson on vocals and Nolan’s kindergarten classmate Stephen Edelstein on drums.

Sat., July 26: Shelby Lynne, with Jamestown Revival @ Annenberg Space for Photography

Grammy-winning contralto singer and songwriter Lynne joins the harmonizing, storytelling, Texas-born, L.A.-based rockers Jamestown Revival.

Sun., July 27: Petty Theft @ El Segundo Library Park

Money on the table says this Tom Petty tribute band plays “American Girl,” “Refugee,” “I Won’t Back Down,” “Free Fallin,’” and “Runnin’ Down a Dream.”

Row. She’s packed Carnegie Hall, appeared on “The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson” and performed with Carrie Underwood (on the American Country Music Awards), the San Francisco Symphony, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and the L.A. Phil.

Thurs., Aug. 7: Jagwar Ma, with KCRW DJ Jason Bentley @ Santa Monica Pier Born with the drum rattle and a capella choruses of their debut single “Come Save Me,” Sydney duo Jagwar Mar puts the jangling stomp in Australian alt rock.

(Continued on page 30)

Thurs., July 31: Omar Souleyman, with KCRW DJ Aaron Byrd @ Santa Monica Pier With his headscarf and bushy Saddam Hussein mustache, Syria’s Souleyman might look like a Sasha Baron Cohen caricature to American audiences, but musically he’s the real deal. From screeching instrumentals to Arabic toasting over banquet hall claps and shrill synthesizers, Souleyman may have singlehandedly altered the soundtrack of weddings throughout the Middle East with his signature Shaabi street sound.

Thurs., July 31: The John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band @ Culver City City Hall

Country rock band cofounders Jorgenson and Herb Pedersen team with guitarist Jon Randall and bassist Mark Fain.

Jorgenson, who portrayed Django Reinhardt in the movie “Head in the Clouds,” won a Grammy for Best Country Instrumental with Brad Paisley and was nominated for Best Bluegrass Album with Earl Scruggs.

Sat., Aug. 2: Blue Öyster Cult @ Burton Chace Park

This Long Island hard rock outfit needs little introduction, having cemented itself soundly into pop culture with “Godzilla,” “Burnin’ for You,” and the ubiquitous classic-rock staple “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper.” Blue Öyster Cult has sold 24 million albums around the globe, with a “Saturday Night Live” skit featuring Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken leaving a new generation wanting “More cowbell!”

Sat., Aug. 2: Wynonna & the Big Noise, with Nikki Lane @ Annenberg Space for Photography Selling 30 million albums as a solo artist or with the Judds, Wynonna is a household name; country prodigy Lane reinvents ‘60s country and recently recorded an album produced by The Black Keys’ front man Dan Auerbach.

Sun., Aug. 3: Pine Mountain Logs @ Playa Vista Central Park Bandshell

Featuring members of the legendary local band called Venice, the Logs get down to earth and downright heavy covering songs from a variety of 1970s acts ranging from the funk and soul of Earth, Wind and Fire to the borderline Tolkien hard rock of Led Zeppelin.

Thurs., Aug. 7: pianist Yana Reznik @ Burton Chace Park

Blue Öyster Cult rocks Burton Chace Park on Aug. 2

A passionate performer known as “the pianist with a voice,” the aurally and visually captivating Reznik breaks the bounds of the expected with innovative programs designed to make classical music relevant to wider audiences, including a recent appearance at TEDx Skid

Battle brewing over harbor cleanup mandate County antes up $4 million to do its own tests for copper pollution in Marina del Rey stripping and repainting would cost boat owners about $150 per foot of a watercraft’s length — about $6,000 for a 40-foot boat. County officials say the cost to boat owners could be significantly more.

County Supervisor Don Knabe, who represents Marina del Rey, has been a vocal critic of the state water board’s timeline for copper removal and its denial of a county request to delay imposing a TMDL reduction mandate for two years.

“We know that’s simply not feasible or reasonable. We were treated very rudely at the hearing, and we made an excellent scientific presentation. I’m very patient and I know how to work within the system, but if they’re not cooperative and they treat us like they did before, I’m prepared to go nuclear with this,” Knabe said during his “State of the Marina” speech in April.

“Going nuclear,” he later explained, could involve a county lawsuit against the board.

Los Angeles Water Quality Control Board Executive Director Samuel Unger said the board’s decision isn’t wholly inflexible.

“The board can reopen the TMDL at any time based on new information and make appropriate adjustments,” Unger said. “We applaud the county for taking these steps.”

Baker noted that the water board’s decision was not based on site-specific studies of the harbor.

Local environmental organizations counter that there’s already plenty of evidence that the harbor is polluted and that the county should be spending on cleanup efforts rather than more studies.

“I don’t want to see additional studies used as an excuse not to implement the TMDL,” said Kirsten James, director of water quality for Santa Monica-based

By Gary Walker Los Angeles County appears to be gearing up for a fight with the state over recent copper pollution remediation mandates imposed on Marina del Rey harbor.

Unwilling to rely on a state water analysis that concludes the harbor is heavily contaminated by tiny particles of the toxic metal, the county is now ready to spend up to $4 million to conduct its own studies.

“We feel that it’s really best for everyone that we get site-specific analyses in our harbor. We need to know what level of copper is harmful,” said Carol Baker, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Dept. of Beaches and Harbors.

The $4-million request by Beaches and Harbors to fund third-party tests at various points in the marina over the next five years was approved unanimously by the Board of Supervisors on June 17.

Local environmentalists, however, are skeptical that the county is simply dragging its feet in an effort to delay cleanup efforts.

In February, the state-appointed Los Angeles Water Quality Control Board voted unanimously to require an 85% decrease in copper toxicity in Marina del Rey over the next 10 years.

The federal Clean Water Act empowers state agencies to limit the total maximum daily load (TMDL) of toxins in a specific body of water and to compel local jurisdictions to lower pollution levels to within those limits.

In the case of Marina del Rey, this could mean a costly dredging of the harbor and forcing boat owners to strip copper paint from the hulls of their boats and apply alternative nontoxic coatings.

Water board officials estimate that

County officials are skeptical about copper pollution in Marina del Rey

nonprofit Heal the Bay. “There have been plenty of studies on Marina del Rey. At this point, the county should be moving forward to limit the [copper toxin levels].”

Laura Meeker, watershed programs manager for Santa Monica-based Los Angeles Waterkeeper, cited a 2009 study by the California Environmental Protection Agency that concluded Marina del Rey had the highest level of dissolved copper levels of 23 harbors that were tested statewide.

Earlier this year, Heal the Bay and Los Angeles Waterkeeper sent a joint letter to Unger supporting the water board’s 85% copper reduction mandate and the 10-year timeline.

Water quality board representatives say the state EPA analysis points up a nexus between the cooper-based paint coating the majority of some 4,500 vessels docked in Marina del Rey and the high concentration of copper in the harbor’s waters.

Dozens of local boat owners and one boatyard owner testified before the water quality board in February that there is a lack of reasonably priced alternatives to

copper-based boat paint and that switching paints could make recreational boat ownership prohibitively expensive.

Meeker countered that Los Angeles Waterkeeper has a boat anchored in Marina del Rey that switched to a non-copperbased paint in 2008.

“I was a little surprised to hear people say there were no other options to copperbased paint,” Meeker said. “There are other fleets of boats that don’t use copper, and in the end we’ve found that it saves us money.”

Baker said the county-funded studies would specifically analyze the need to reduce copper pollution related to vessels, explore which if any areas of the harbor might require some sort of dredging to remove toxic sediment and consider remediation effort costs.

The California Water Resources Control Board, which supersedes the state’s regional water boards, plans to take up the issue later this year. gary@argonautnews.com

Charges filed against Westchester pot clinic operators Medical marijuana dispensaries on Manchester Avenue and Lincoln Boulevard are operating illegally, city alleges

By Gary Walker The owners of two medical marijuana clinics in Westchester will be in court this month facing criminal misdemeanor charges that those dispensaries are operating illegally, according to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office.

Clean Green LAX at 8338 Lincoln Blvd. and Green Cross LAX at 5593 W. Manchester Ave. are not among the 135 marijuana dispensaries that were grandfathered into legal status under the 2013 city ballot measure Proposition D, city attorney’s office spokesman Rob Wilcox said. The law capped the number of legal clinics and imposed new zoning and land-use requirements on existing operators.

Clean Green LAX owner William David

Bannon and Green Cross LAX owners David Shin Killman and Tina Jo Jackson are accused of violating Proposition D as well as city zoning laws, Wilcox said.

They are set to stand trial on July 15 in downtown Los Angeles.

Helena Yon Kim and Peter Kyoung Kim, owners of the building that houses Green Cross LAX, also face misdemeanor charges, Wilcox said.

Calls to Clean Green LAX and Green Cross LAX were not returned.

Clean Green LAX has been the subject of complaints from business and neighborhood leaders in Westchester. On Feb. 4, the LAX Coastal Area Chamber of Commerce sent a letter to Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer requesting an investigation of the business.

“As a chamber of commerce, it is important to our members that businesses all operate by the same rules and regulations,” chamber President Christina Davis wrote. “This illegal business is located in a major thoroughfare … and, therefore, should have closed their doors, but despite the current law, they continue to remain open.”

Davis went on to say that the chamber is “not opposed to legally operating institutions, but when businesses blatantly thwart the law, we expect enforcement to be an immediate next step.”

Feuer’s office has filed 128 criminal charges against cannabis shops since he became city attorney last July. Last year the city attorney’s office invoked Proposition D to shutter five Westside dispensaries:

Venice Compassionate Holistic Therapy on Inglewood Boulevard in Mar Vista, a branch of the Farmacy chain on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Cal Med Access on Washington Boulevard, Tamer El Shaikhs on Pacific Avenue and California Healing Gardens on Lincoln Boulevard.

The charges against the operators of the two Westchester medical marijuana dispensaries come a week after an attempted robbery at a third dispensary in Westchester resulted in a fatal shooting.

According to police, two men tried to rob Nature’s Cure Inc. at 5300 Century Blvd., near LAX, at around 12:15 p.m. on June 25.

By Gary Walker The days of stepping off a train to wait for a shuttle bus to LAX — or just begging friends for a ride — may soon be over, and with it some of the traffic gridlock associated with the airport.

The Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority Board of Directors last week approved plans for a $200-million light rail station in Westchester that would serve as the nexus for an automated “people mover” to and from airport terminals.

The Metro Crenshaw/LAX line stop at 96th Street and Aviation Boulevard, about 1.5 miles east Councilman Mike Bonin points out the big disconnect on L.A.’s public of LAX, would also connect to transit map ground transportation and rental car hubs using what has been oversees LAX costs would drastically decrease described as a monorail-like “Though this is a major under the current plan to connect system. milestone, we must be wary of the airport to a light rail station via the hurdles we still need to clear. a people mover.

A second suspect who fled the scene was still at large this week.

The shooting marked the first time this year that a medical marijuana dispensary within the LAPD Pacific Division’s territory has had an attempted robbery.

“However, there have been some in other divisions,” said Pacific Division Lt. David Crew.

“There have been no other problems,” Crew said, at Nature’s Cure Inc. during his two years at the division, which patrols Westchester, Venice, Del Rey, Playa del Rey and Mar Vista.

Wilcox said Nature’s Cure “potentially qualifies for limited immunity” to operate under Proposition D.

Last week’s shooting at Nature’s Cure was the third death to occur during an attempted robbery of a medical marijuana clinic in Southern California this year. In April, an armed security guard at a San Diego dispensary shot and killed one of three men who attempted to rob it. In May, a man was fatally shot in a botched robbery outside a Koreatown dispensary. gary@argonautnews.com

A different kind of film shoot

Parker Stevenson, recently returned to acting, embraced a different creative outlet during his decade away from TV and movies: photography Stevenson said his photograph of a homeless veteran’s encampment on Venice Beach was taken to capture beauty, not impose judgment

By Michael Aushenker His name is Parker and he carries a camera.

But this ain’t no Spider-Man flick.

Actor Parker Stevenson — returning to television after a long hiatus in shows such as Monday’s episode of “Longmire” — expresses his creativity through photography when he’s not working in front of the camera.

“I always have the camera in my car,” said the Venice resident, who turned 62 last month.

Stevenson is currently shooting the photographs for an upcoming book about roller derbies and has work headed to an upcoming exhibition at The Hague.

“I spent four days this winter exploring the entire complex and recording my impressions of the vast interior spaces and architectural details for an exhibition of oversized prints on silk this fall to be held in the [Richard Meier-designed] Hague Complex,” Stevenson said.

But as an actor, for anyone 40 and older, their first association with Stevenson often boils down to three words: The Hardy Boys.

After landing “Lifeguard,” a movie in which Stevenson played opposite Sam Elliott, the young Stevenson snagged his career-making role, co-starring in ABC’s “The Hardy Boys / Nancy Drew Mysteries” series from 1977 to 1979. Based on the

popular young adult novels by Edward Stratemeyer, “The Hardy Boys” featured Stevenson and Shaun Cassidy as young amateur sleuths Frank and Joe Hardy. The show turned Cassidy into a teen idol.

Stevenson parlayed that success into playing Burt Reynolds’ archrival in the 1983 feature film “Stroker Ace,” then met now exwife Kirstie Alley while making the 1986 TV mini-series “North and South,” a Civil War drama also starring Patrick Swayze and Jean Simmons. Stevenson appeared in the original cast of “Baywatch” in 1989 and returned in 1997-98 for the syndicated version before playing a recurring role on the second season of “Melrose Place.”

And then Stevenson retreated from Hollywood, putting his acting on the backburner to deal with a well-publicized messy divorce from Alley and to raise his children.

While Stevenson may have left Hollywood, his creativity never deserted him. He soon reconnected with an old flame: photography.

Stevenson’s love for the art began with shooting wedding photos at 14 and continued with architectural photography while he attended Princeton’s architecture program.

Stevenson did enjoy some chances to work behind television cameras thanks to “Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff — “He misled me. He told me they were desperate,”

Stevenson said, smiling — but finds working with a still camera more expedient and reliable.

“I don’t need anyone else’s approval,” he said.

For a while, Stevenson shot portraits of people he met during his day job, including Hasselhoff’s daughters.

“I quickly stopped that. Shooting people like that was always embarrassing,” — especially if the subjects rejected the results, he said.

“I know how awkward it is, how invasive it is,” said Stevenson, alluding not to the extremities of unwanted paparazzi attention but to the simple daily realities of an actor’s life. “It’s really not fun.”

The only time Stevenson has felt comfortable as a photographer’s subject was with the late Herb Ritts, who exhibited “a calmness and a comfort. You felt safe with him. His graphic sense was really acute.”

Despite how difficult Stevenson’s first blush with stardom was for him as a young actor, “it’s much harder now. The Internet and the paparazzi are a lot more avaricious,” he said.

“For all those reasons, I understand the experience. So when I shoot, I’m goofy a lot of time. I’m talking and sharing my whole life [to put the subject at ease],” he said. “I’m not interested in someone posing or looking handsome. I’m interested in the

A recent Stevenson self-portrait

moments in conversation when someone is open and looking.

That’s the only truth.”

Beyond portraits, Stevenson, a decade into digital photography, has shot some emotional landscapes, capturing the contradictions of a homeless veteran’s encampment on Venice Beach, the decay of a Santa Fe back alley or an intrusive industrial landscape of oil derricks.

In just six years of living in Venice, Stevenson said he

Fast food with European flair

Ciboteca offers grab-and-go culinary delights, but the quality and variety make it worth sticking around Photo by Richard Foss

By Richard Foss

Richard@RichardFoss.com

Ciboteca

606 Broadway, Santa Monica (310) 458-8852 ciboteca.com Some people look for meaning in life on a psychological or metaphysical basis, while others seek it in the world of the practical. I look for meaning in words and often don’t find it. I distinctly remember discovering, to my disappointment, that the name Häagen-Dazs doesn’t mean anything in any language.

When I heard about a new Italian-themed café in Santa Monica called Ciboteca, I assumed the name meant something in Italian. It apparently does, though in a non-linear fashion; it’s a made-up slang based on the Italian word for food with an ending that is usually used to mean store. To an Italian this is probably clever and to Americans it’s a memorable name, so this is probably a win all around.

The large café has a sleek and beautiful modern design with lots of floor space and a few tables — a ratio that makes me assume that most of their business is take-out.

The uncluttered space does make it pleasant for those who eat there, as we did, and they serve the food on nice china. Those who dine in have the added advantages of being able to browse the small selection of Italian groceries and preview the dessert cases.

Ordering from the counter is simultaneously simple and complicated — simple because the menu is posted, and difficult because the display cases are full of beautiful food. The complication is that although proteins like meat and fish are posted by the serving, vegetables and salads are priced by the pound. A more conventional strategy that prices a protein with a side dish or two would be a lot easier to figure out. We ended up over-ordering and deciding to take some home because there were so many things we wanted to try.

For starters this meant a lamb kebab, fennel gratin and a salad

of garbanzo beans, carrot, greens, olive oil and goat cheese. The kebab had three pieces of tender lamb along with zucchini and bell pepper, but was slightly under-spiced by my standards; I think a bit more garlic and pepper would have improved it. Both salads were excellent. I am going to have to try making roasted fennel gratin at home, because the Gruyere cheese and sweet/ sharp fennel flavor are delicious together. As for the salad, I had ordered this on a whim despite the fact that I’m not a big garbanzo fan. The carrot sweetness and slight bitterness of radicchio leaves and arugula dominated the beans and feta, but that resulted in a fine balance of flavors and textures.

For main courses we selected an order of pork ribs, half a rotisserie chicken and a piece of roasted salmon. (As I mentioned, we figured we’d take some home.

As it happened, we didn’t.) The pork ribs were simply roasted with garlic, rosemary and a little salt, so you tasted the natural pork flavor. The effect was very different from American barbecue; less tender, with little or no smoke flavor, but intensely porky like good carnitas.

The chicken was a bit greasy, as is often the case with rotisserie cooking in which meat is basted continuously, but it was tender and delicious though slightly salty. The cavity of the bird had been stuffed with rosemary, which added to the flavor and aroma. The bird was on the small side, and the half-chicken was appropriately sized for a hearty lunch or dinner.

Ciboteca doesn’t serve wine, so we had a pair of unusual Italian

Wonder of wonders, they did. The éclair was good, and the angel roll was its equal. On a return visit I’ll also investigate their handmade chocolate further, since they gave us samples of a white chocolate filled with matcha tea and a dark chocolate robed yuzu truffle.

Our lunches ran about $20 each, but the quality and variety was extraordinary. You can dine more economically if you don’t try to sample everything in one visit, and a panini with sides cost much less.

Fireworks and waterworks Marina del Rey celebrates Independence Day with its annual fireworks show and dinghy parade

WISHING YOU THE BEST OF HEALTH!

By Michael Aushenker Come Friday, two annual Marina del Rey events — one volunteer-run, the other sponsored by L.A. County — deliver both fun and meaning to mark Independence Day. Before the county’s 9 p.m. fireworks spectacular over the harbor, the Marina del Rey Dinghy Parade offers an inventive way to salute military and public safety officers and veterans.

The dinghy parade, launched eight years ago by Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade co-chairman Lowell Safier, is just what it sounds like: a procession of decorated small boats moving in solidarity through the harbor, in this case trailing behind a water-squirting county fireboat.

The dinghy parade starts at 3 p.m. and follows the Holiday Boat Parade’s familiar path, starting out at Del Rey Yacht Club and heading along the harbor peninsula before turning around and retracing the route.

Last year’s dinghy parade drew some 50 dinghies, but Safier said the event is more about honoring people who serve the country and their communities than

making a big spectacle.

“I don’t want to make this a commercial venture. It’s not that kind of a function, he said. “There’s no booze, this is a function like going to church. We’re showing our respect.”

Less solemn but also powerful is the evening’s annual fireworks show, when as many as 10,000 people are expected to converge around the harbor, according to Los Angeles County Dept. of Beaches and Harbors spokeswoman Carol Baker.

Zambelli Fireworks Internationale conducts the 20-minute display, shot from a barge from the main channel, and KXLU 88.9 FM coordinates a radio program including music by John Phillip Souza and other patriotism-appropriate works.

“We don’t usually have security issues.

People are well-behaved,” said Baker, who contends the real challenge has historically been safely shepherding people out of the marina after the display is over, when most attendees are trying to leave simultaneously.

“We’re asking motorists to be patient,” Baker said. “We have been working with

We now have a larger variety of natural, home-cooked, and nutritious options.

Fresh Juices and grab and go for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Fast and tasty food without the guilt!

Caltrans and local law enforcement on traffic mitigation. Our traffic plan will be better and make sure people can get out as soon as possible. If they can take other modes of transportation to come in, we recommend it.”

That’s where the water bus and beach shuttles come in. Marina del Rey’s water bus service around the marina runs from 11 a.m. to midnight, and the beach shuttle runs from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Another encouragement to take public transportation: parking costs at county lots are $7 to $10 for the evening.

However one chooses to arrive, Baker promises the journey is worth the effort.

“It’s one of the most beautiful fireworks displays and locations to watch from, right on the marina. It’s very hard to beat.”

The Marina del Rey Fourth of July Dinghy Parade runs from 3 to 4 p.m., starting from the main channel opposite Burton Chace Park. Call (310) 650-0000 for information.

The fireworks display begins at 9 p.m.

A Foo Fighter, Wallflower and former Pearl Jam member join Marina del Rey’s Jonny Kaplan for a July 4 jam session by the sea

By Michael Aushenker It’s the best kept July 4 secret in Los Angeles: every Independence Day, four parachutists land on the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Swarthmore Avenue, kicking off a day of festivities in Pacific Palisades that includes a starstudded Americana parade and a rock concert with fireworks show at PaliHi’s Stadium by the Sea This year, some contemporary rock royalty —including members of the Foo Jonny Kaplan Fighters, The Wallflowers, and Marina del Rey’s own Jonny Kaplan — headline the concert, which also features Venice-based ukulele collective The Ooks of Hazzard.

A harbor live-aboard and front man for popular L.A. alt-rockers Jonny Kaplan & the Lazy Stars, Kaplan leads the all-star cover band After School Special. The lineup includes the Lazy Stars’ Rami Jaffee — the Grammywinning Foo Fighters keyboardist and a founding member of The Wallflowers — as well as former Pearl Jam drummer Dave Krusen, Blind Melon guitarist Christopher Thorn, Neil Young bassist Rick Rosas and violinist Jessy Greene, who has performed with Pink and Wilco.

Sweetening the deal, a special guest: Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett.

“After School Special plays classic FM rock ’n’ roll,” Kaplan said of his band’s high-energy set list, which includes some Young, The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty and T-Rex. “We all live and breathe to play music.”

The band enjoys a unique chemistry forged over decades.

“We've been playing together on and off together for

20 years,” said Jaffee, reached in Seattle while working on an upcoming Foo Fighters album and the accompanying HBO docu-series “Sonic Highways.”

Meanwhile, Ooks of Hazzard leader Ed Marshall promises a battery of hits from the likes of Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, Devo and MGMT “in our army of uke-style sound,” and a special patriotic song.

The Ooks launched with a cover of MGMT’s electronic hit “Kids” that went viral on YouTube and have since performed nationwide on a mission to reboot the ukulele’s reputation from caricature instrument to instrument character.

“I’ve been attending the parade for decades, so I feel stoked and honored to be playing the [July] 4th fireworks show,” said Ooks’ Patrick “P.J.” Hildebrand, a PaliHi grad. He and Jaffee played together in the bands World Zen and El Vez, and Jaffee bought his first guitar from Hildebrand’s father’s Palisades music shop, Amazing Music.

“We were both excited to see ourselves on the same bill all these years later. I think I'm gonna jump up on the Ooks’ set, too,” Jaffee said.

The Palisades Rock the Fourth concert begins at 6:30 p.m. Friday at the Stadium by the Sea, 15777 Bowdoin St., Pacific Palisades. Food trucks arrive at 4 p.m. following the 2 p.m. Americana Parade. Tickets are $10 or free for kids 12 and under, with proceeds going to PaliHi’s music department. palisadesrocksthefourth.org michael@argonautnews.com

Despite a community campaign to save it, Pepy’s Galley at AMF Mar Vista Lanes closed for good on Sunday after 44 years in operation to make way for bowling alley renovations.

Led by the 36-year-old guitarist and former child actor who has appeared on “That ‘70s Show,” “The Nanny” and “Just Shoot Me,” the South Bay trio plays “Could You Be Loved,” “Café Boogaloo” and groovy covers of the Beatles’ classics “Something” and “Lady Madonna.”

Thurs., Aug. 14: La Santa Cecilia, with Sergio Mendoza Y La Orkestra and KCRW DJ Raul Campos @ Santa Monica Pier

Named after the patron saint of musicians, La Santa Cecilia conveys love, loss and heartbreak, drawing on influences from Miles Davis to Janis Joplin, Mercedes Sosa and Ramon Ayala as they perform their Spanglish rendition of The Beatles chestnut “Strawberry Fields Forever,” plus new cuts “Como Dios Manda” and “Monedita.”

The R&B singer was the first artist to win the Grammy for Record of the Year twice in a row — for “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” in 1973 and “Killing Me Softly with His Song” in 1974. Those two iconic hits, “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” and the Donny Hathaway duets “The Closer I Get to You” and “Where is the Love,” have ensured Flack a perpetual place in pop culture.

Her songs are timeless: “Killing Me Softly” became The Fugees’ biggest hit when Lauryn Hill re-recorded it in 1996, while “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” makes recurring appearances in “XMen: Days of Future Past,” this summer’s biggest Marvel superhero flick.

Also known as “The Upsetter” and “Pipecock Jaxxon," the Grammy-winning Perry is, at 78, a living reggae legend. The iconic Rastafarian artistproducer, who co-wrote the protest anthem “Police and Thieves” (famously covered by The Clash), has worked with Bob Marley and the Wailers, the Congos and Max Romeo. With so many songs under his belt, Perry may delve into the slow-motion warped drive of The Upsetters’ “Super Ape” or the Marleyesque mellow twang of “Bionic Rats,” and might even perform his career-launching single, “People Funny Boy,” which rouses like a primal-chorused Cat Stevens track.

has witnessed a surge in the number of people who are homeless or sleeping in their cars, poverty that he believes has been exacerbated by methamphetamine use.

Stevenson, in photographing such scenes, does not intend to become the next Walker Evans or Dorothea Lange with his camera.

“I think the image was beautiful and non-judgmental,” he said of his photograph of a Venice Beach encampment with hoisted American flag. “It wasn’t to comment on that, but it was about that image. I feel like it’s somehow exploiting people to do

that [kind of photography]. We’re not in the Dust Bowl in the ‘30s.”

Stevenson maximized his threeweek New Mexico shoot for “Longmire” by photographing around the outskirts of Santa Fe. Regarding his turn on the A&E show, Stevenson said, “It sort of came out of the blue. I went in and read for it and got cast in a role that I never would’ve been cast for,” he said, even finding inspiration for it in his neighborhood. “I’m surrounded by a lot of transients here in Venice” was all he could say about his role without giving away details.

In addition to “Longmire,” Stevenson appears onstage at Gary Marshall’s Falcon Theatre

in Toluca Lake for the one-night production of “Chasing Smoke” on July 18.

Today, Stevenson equates the adulation he still receives for “The Hardy Boys” and “Baywatch” with “someone coming up to you and saying ‘Hey, we went to the same school’ — a nice commonality,” he said.

“I stepped back. It’s different now. I’m different. I’m such a different person.”
